Primal flavors
Forget the tie and the socks this Father's Day. Give the Big D what he really hungers for. Go primal with our three B's: beef, bacon and bourbon.
Unlike mom, who usually finds herself corsaged and cosseted at some cutesy Sunday brunch, dad has one basic, if often unspoken, wish for his day: "Leave me the heck alone." Do just that. Let him groove on his solitude, be it on the golf course or the running trail or even on the La-Z-Boy in his man cave.
"They say, 'Let me do what I want to do without the fun police checking in,'" says Kathleen Purvis, author of "Bourbon" (University of North Carolina Press, $18), coming in September as part of the "Savor the South" cookbook series.
But when the day is nearly done, lure dad back to civilization and to family by dishing up flavors as bold as he is. Let beef, bacon and bourbon be the theme, if his health allows.
"They are all indulgence goods," explains Purvis, who is food editor of the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina. "Men are more comfortable having an indulgence. Women are more uncomfortable with that; we have to be the family disciplinarian."
Our three B's menu gives plenty of opportunity for dad to let loose. Kick things off with a bourbon cocktail freshened with ginger beer. Pass around some zippy deviled bacon as a nibble while lighting the grill, then finish with a bourbon-rubbed flank steak. Purvis suggests serving beefy slices of fresh tomato and a summer pasta salad alongside the steak.
If dad — can't wait for that winning trifecta of flavors with dinner, consider an all-in-one lunch treat from chef Edward Lee's "Smoke & Pickles" cookbook: bourbon-and-coke meatloaf sandwich.
Deviled bacon
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 27 minutes
Servings: 6-7
Note: It's dad's day, and he can have bacon if he wants to. Try this twist from "Salty Snacks." Author Cynthia Nims writes that the mustard and hot sauce offer a "nice zing" to the bacon's richness.
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons hot sauce
3/4 pound thick-cut bacon, each slice halved crosswise
1. Stir together the Worcestershire sauce, mustard and hot sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
2. Arrange bacon strips on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Spoon about half of the mustard mixture over the bacon, spreading with the back of the spoon. Bake in a 400-degree oven until lightly browned on top, 12-15 minutes. Turn the bacon over; spoon remaining mustard mixture over the bacon slices. Bake until the bacon is nicely glazed, moderately browned, and crisp, about 15 minutes. If some pieces around the outer edge of the pan are browning more quickly, remove them earlier.
3. Transfer the bacon pieces to a piece of paper towel to drain for a few minutes; transfer to a plate or platter for serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Bourbon-marinated flank steak
Prep: 15 minutes
Marinate: 2 hours or more
Cook: 20 minutes
Rest: 10 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6
Note: From "Bourbon," by Kathleen Purvis.
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 flank steak, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
1. Whisk together the hoisin sauce, honey, cayenne, garlic and bourbon in a small bowl. Place the flank steak in a glass baking dish large enough to hold it in a single layer or in a large, resealable freezer bag. Add the marinade; turn the steak over several times to coat it.
2. Cover if using a glass dish; refrigerate at least 2 hours, or marinate at room temperature for no more than 1 hour.
3. Heat a gas grill or prepare a charcoal fire for direct grilling. Remove the flank steak from the marinade; grill, 10-15 minutes per side, depending on thickness. (When you poke the thickest part with your finger, it should feel like it's beginning to get firm.)
4. Remove from the grill; let stand, 10 minutes. Slice diagonally across the grain; season with salt to taste.

Blackwatch Fizz
Jeffrey Wondrely, mixologist at Wood Restaurant in Chicago, originally created this drink using Irish whiskey, but he says any quality bourbon (Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace, Michter's) would work well too. He also prefers Barritt's Bermuda Stone Ginger Beer in the recipe.
Combine 2 ounces tea-infused bourbon (see note), 1/2 ounce Koval Rose Hip liqueur and 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice in a tall, ice-filled Collins glass. Top with ginger beer; stir. Serve garnished with a lemon twist. Makes: 1 cocktail
Note: For tea-infused bourbon, steep 4 bags Earl Grey tea in a 750-milliliter bottle of bourbon for 3 hours. Carefully remove the bags; strain out any remaining tea particles.
Bourbon-and-Coke meatloaf sandwich with fried egg and black pepper gravy
Prep: 45 minutes
Cook: 1 hour 32 minutes
Servings: 8
Note: Chef Edward Lee created this open-face sandwich for Southern Living and included it in his new cookbook, "Smoke & Pickles" (Artisan, $29.95). Inspiration came from a glass of bourbon and Coke he drank, Lee writes, while trying to come up with a meatloaf recipe he liked. The sandwich contains the three B's of primal flavor — beef, bacon, bourbon — and he suggests pairing it with a fourth, beer, especially a "badass wheat ale" like Gumballhead from Three Floyds Brewing Co. Lee is chef-owner of 610 Magnolia restaurant in Louisville, Ky. We found that the meatloaf held together better when the vegetables are finely chopped in a food processor after cooking.
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 garlic clove, minced
3 ounces bacon, diced
1 cup chopped button mushrooms
1 pound ground beef chuck (80 percent lean)
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 egg and 1 egg yolk
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Coca-Cola
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
Black pepper gravy:
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup reserved meatloaf drippings
1/2 cup chicken stock
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
A few drops fresh lemon juice
8 slices Texas toast or other white bread
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 thick slices tomato
3 tablespoons butter
8 eggs
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. For the meatloaf, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery and garlic; cook, until softened, 8 minutes. Add the bacon and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms give up their liquid, 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer vegetables to a food processor; pulse until finely chopped, but not a puree.
2. Add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg and extra yolk, ketchup, cola, bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to the bacon-vegetable mixture. Mix with your hands until evenly blended. Form into a loaf; transfer to an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan.
3. For the glaze, mix the ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce together. Brush it over the top of the meatloaf. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 145 degrees, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven; carefully pour the drippings into a small bowl by holding the meatloaf in the pan and tipping it slightly. You should get about 1 cup drippings; save this for your gravy. (Add broth to equal 1 cup, if needed.) Let the meatloaf cool, about 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.
4. While the meatloaf is cooling, make the gravy: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth; whisk in the drippings and chicken stock. Heat to a simmer, whisking; simmer, 2 minutes. Add salt to taste, the black pepper and a few drops of lemon juice to brighten the gravy. Turn off the heat; keep the gravy warm until ready to use. (The gravy keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a day. Rewarm it in a small saucepan and add a few drops of water to help smooth it out.)
5. For the sandwiches, arrange the bread slices on a baking pan and toast in the oven until nicely browned, 6-12 minutes. Let cool. (Or toast in your toaster.)
6. Unmold the meatloaf; cut into eight 3/4-inch-thick slices. Smear a tablespoon of mayo on each toast; top with a slice of meatloaf and tomato.
7. Melt a little butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggs sunny side up, 2 eggs at a time, about 3 minutes. Lay a fried egg over each slice of meatloaf. Drizzle the gravy over the eggs; top with chopped parsley.

Feeling adventurous, I decided to pick up Lightlife Smart Deli Bologna Style Veggie Protein Slices at the grocery store today, in an effort to further expand my meatless horizons. Having tried the Lightlife Smart Deli Pepperoniand liking it, I was optimistic about this too. It didn't hurt that a 5.5-ounce package (2.5 servings) was $2.69 - cheaper than some packages of real deli meats.
I brought home my "bologna" and opened the package. Like real bologna, the meatless kind had a sort of tan-pink color. Amazingly enough, it tasted a whole lot like bologna, too. Each slice was thick and satisfying, and not at all artificial-tasting. How do they do it? If all veggie meats tasted as good as this, I'd be a vegetarian in a heartbeat! I ate the slices by themselves to really get a sense of the flavor, but these would be great on sandwiches as well.
Lightlife Smart Deli Bologna Style Veggie Protein Slices provides 70 calories per 4 slice serving, along with no fat, 490 grams of sodium (20% of the daily value), 14 grams of protein and 4 grams of carbohydrates which includes < 1 gram of fiber and 1 gram of sugar. There is also 25% of the RDA for calcium and 10% for iron. Compare that to real bologna, which has more calories, more fat, and less protein. The ingredients include soy protein isolate and wheat gluten (more details on their website).
The sodium count is a bit high, but it's deli "meat," after all, and as long as you're aware of the sodium in the rest of your foods, you should be fine. The entire package is a little less than 200 calories and a full 35 grams of protein. I'm a convert to this and will be buying it again .

Blue industry
Another day in the industrial park Landsweiler-Reden with my friend @thejomi I used an old Kodak Vericolor Slide film SO-279. (expired 01/1992) the film is a color negative film who was intended to produce positive images from color negatives. I set the iso to200. but next time i will set it to25. The blue color is awesome. I'm happy to have another 2 rolls of this crazy film.

Here's our US pic from Saturday. Measuring 5w5d. The little green arrow is pointing to out little embryo.
Tara- this is so amazing!!! I'm so happy for you!!
All- I'm having a tough time. I started spotting on the 2nd. I stopped on the 5th. It was never enough to even need a pad. It was Brown. I'm afraid to start Clomid because I know it can harm a baby. What should I do?
01-06-2014 07:57 AM - edited 01-06-2014 11:12 AM
Tara: Beautiful little yolk sac So glad everything went well with the US! Looking forward to your next one Thurs That stinks about having to still do the P IM's till tomorrow, I hope they get the next mixture right this time. Dr. A released me to OB at 9 weeks.
Alexx: Only spotting for 3 days or was it light flow? (as you chart reads) hmm...Have you tested since? I had spotting just like that when I was PG with Aaron, it came and went but no real AF flow. I had no idea what was going on because I didn't even think I O'd since it was a common thing with me having anovulatory cycles. Please call your doctor.
Amy- The 3D US are pretty cool. I know there is a place in Bellingham that does them. I think it's kinda expensive though. Some of the pics are really cool and others sometimes a little creepy. I'm sure there is probably one down in your area or Seattle. Do you think you'd do one this time around?
Alexx- Sorry you're having a tough time. It's a hard spot to be in. I would test again or call your doc and try to get a blood test. Spotting may not have been your period. Hugs!
Nicole- Yeah, the pharmacist expected that the new P got too cold on it's way to us so it crystallized. UPS doesn't get to our house until late so not sure if I should just wait till Wednesday to start the transition. If I start on Wednesday I do two shots one new one old, then old for the next three days, then just the new shot every Wednesday till 10 weeks or so. Can't wait to see more on Thursday, too!

Adding Quality Office & Industrial Assets
The CapLease team is actively seeking real estate investment opportunities after joining American Realty Capital Properties.
CapLease was acquired by American Realty Capital Properties (NASDAQ: ARCP) on November 5, 2013. Following the merger, CapLease's senior management and origination teams joined ARCP and will be responsible for growing the company's $4 billion single-tenant net lease office and industrial business.
Now with an even stronger balance sheet, we are pursuing continued portfolio growth through both existing property acquisitions and our Construction to Acquisition Program, applying essentially the same underwriting standards that CapLease was built upon.
Overview of Acquisition Guidelines
- Single-tenant, net-leased property or portfolio properties; also consider multi-tenanted properties where one credit-rated tenant accounts for a substantial share of the property cash flow
- Lessee or guarantor rated or implied rated at least BB- by Standard & Poor's and/or Ba3 by Moody's; also consider well located properties leased to unrated tenants with strong balance sheets and income history who are leaders in their market segment
- All types of credit-rated tenants including corporate (domestic and foreign), retail, government (GSA, municipal), healthcare, and education
- Remaining lease term of at least 5 years
- Minimum deal size of $10 million
- Structures involving leasehold or condominium interests and other complexities are acceptable
Construction to Acquisition Program (CAP)
Under the CAP program, we partner with established developers for build-to-suit office, industrial, and retail projects. We provide up to 100% construction financing and then acquire the finished property at a prearranged price.
CAP projects must meet the following criteria:
- $10 million or larger
- Leased for 10+ years to financially strong tenant upon completion
- Completed within 18 months

Job humbly submits unto God. (1-6) Job intercedes for his friends. (7-9) His renewed prosperity. (10-17)
Verses 1-6 Job was now sensible of his guilt; he would no longer speak in his own excuse; he abhorred himself as a sinner in heart and life, especially for murmuring against God, and took shame to himself. When the understanding is enlightened by the Spirit of grace, our knowledge of Divine things as far exceeds what we had before, as the sight of the eyes excels report and common fame. By the teachings of men, God reveals his Son to us; but by the teachings of his Spirit he reveals his Son in us, ( Galatians 1:16 ) , and ( 2 Corinthians. 3:18 ) deeply humbled for the sins of which we are convinced. Self-loathing is ever the companion of true repentance. The Lord will bring those whom he loveth, to adore him in self-abasement; while true grace will always lead them to confess their sins without self-justifying.
Verses 7-9 After the Lord had convinced and humbled Job, and brought him to repentance, he owned him, comforted him, and put honour upon him. The devil had undertaken to prove Job a hypocrite, and his three friends had condemned him as a wicked man; but if God say, Well done, thou good and faithful servant, it is of little consequence who says otherwise. Job's friends had wronged God, by making prosperity a mark of the true church, and affliction a certain proof of God's wrath. Job had referred things to the future judgment and the future state, more than his friends, therefore he spake of God that which was right, better than his friends had done. And as Job prayed and offered sacrifice for those that had grieved and wounded his spirit, so Christ prayed for his persecutors, and ever lives, making intercession for the transgressors. Job's friends were good men, and belonged to God, and He would not let them be in their mistake any more than Job; but having humbled him by a discourse out of the whirlwind, he takes another way to humble them. They are not to argue the matter again, but they must agree in a sacrifice and a prayer, and that must reconcile them, Those who differ in judgment about lesser things, yet are one in Christ the great Sacrifice, and ought therefore to love and bear with one another. When God was angry with Job's friends, he put them in a way to make peace with him. Our quarrels with God always begin on our part, but the making peace begins on his. Peace with God is to be had only in his own way, and upon his own terms. These will never seem hard to those who know how to value this blessing: they will be glad of it, like Job's friends, upon any terms, though ever so humbling. Job did not insult over his friends, but God being graciously reconciled to him, he was easily reconciled to them. In all our prayers and services we should aim to be accepted of the Lord; not to have praise of men, but to please God.
Verses 10-17 In the beginning of this book we had Job's patience under his troubles, for an example; here, for our encouragement to follow that example, we have his happy end. His troubles began in Satan's malice, which God restrained; his restoration began in God's mercy, which Satan could not oppose. Mercy did not return when Job was disputing with his friends, but when he was praying for them. God is served and pleased with our warm devotions, not with our warm disputes. God doubled Job's possessions. We may lose much for the Lord, but we shall not lose any thing by him. Whether the Lord gives us health and temporal blessings or not, if we patiently suffer according to his will, in the end we shall be happy. Job's estate increased. The blessing of the Lord makes rich; it is he that gives us power to get wealth, and gives success in honest endeavours. The last days of a good man sometimes prove his best, his last works his best works, his last comforts his best comforts; for his path, like that of the morning light, shines more and more unto the perfect day.
Job 42:1-6 . JOB'S PENITENT REPLY.
2. In the first clause he owns God to be omnipotent over nature, as contrasted with his own feebleness, which God had proved ( Job 40:15 , 41:34 ); in the second, that God is supremely just (which, in order to be governor of the world, He must needs be) in all His dealings, as contrasted with his own vileness ( Job 42:6 ), and incompetence to deal with the wicked as a just judge ( Job 40:8-14 ).
thought--"purpose," as in Job 17:11 ; but it is usually applied to evil devices ( Job 21:27 , Psalms 10:2 ): the ambiguous word is designedly chosen to express that, while to Job's finite view, God's plans seem bad, to the All-wise One they continue unhindered in their development, and will at last be seen to be as good as they are infinitely wise. No evil can emanate from the Parent of good ( james 1:13 james 1:17 ); but it is His prerogative to overrule evil to good.
3. I am the man! Job in God's own words ( Job 38:2 ) expresses his deep and humble penitence. God's word concerning our guilt should be engraven on our hearts and form the groundwork of our confession. Most men in confessing sin palliate rather than confess. Job in omitting "by words" ( Job 38:2 ), goes even further than God's accusation. Not merely my words, but my whole thoughts and ways were "without knowledge."
too wonderful--I rashly denied that Thou hast any fixed plan in governing human affairs, merely because Thy plan was "too wonderful" for my comprehension.
4. When I said, "Hear," &c., Job's demand ( Job 13:22 ) convicted him of being "without knowledge." God alone could speak thus to Job, not Job to God: therefore he quotes again God's words as the groundwork of retracting his own foolish words.
5. hearing of the ear--( Psalms 18:44 , Margin). Hearing and seeing are often in antithesis ( Job 29:11 , Psalms 18:8 ).
seeth--not God's face ( Exodus 33:20 ), but His presence in the veil of a dark cloud ( Job 38:1 ). Job implies also that, besides this literal seeing, he now saw spiritually what he had indistinctly taken on hearsay before God's infinite wisdom. He "now" proves this; he had seen in a literal sense before, at the beginning of God's speech, but he had not seen spiritually till "now" at its close.
6. myself--rather "I abhor," and retract the rash speeches I made against thee ( Job 42:3 Job 42:4 ) [UMBREIT].
Job 42:7-17 . EPILOGUE, in prose.
7. to Eliphaz--because he was the foremost of the three friends; their speeches were but the echo of his.
right--literally, "well-grounded," sure and true. Their spirit towards Job was unkindly, and to justify themselves in their unkindliness they used false arguments ( Job 13:7 ); (namely, that calamities always prove peculiar guilt); therefore, though it was "for God" they spake thus falsely, God "reproves" them, as Job said He would ( Job 13:10 ).
as . . . Job hath--Job had spoken rightly in relation to them and their argument, denying their theory, and the fact which they alleged, that he was peculiarly guilty and a hypocrite; but wrongly in relation to God, when he fell into the opposite extreme of almost denying all guilt. This extreme he has now repented of, and therefore God speaks of him as now altogether "right."
9. The forgiving spirit of Job foreshadows the love of Jesus Christ and of Christians to enemies ( Matthew 5:44 , Luke 23:34 , Acts 7:60 , Acts 16:24 Acts 16:28 Acts 16:30 Acts 16:31 ).
10. turned . . . captivity--proverbial for restored, or amply indemnified him for all he had lost ( Ezekiel 16:53 , Psalms 14:7 , Hosea 6:11 ). Thus the future vindication of man, body and soul, against Satan ( Job 1:9-12 ), at the resurrection ( Job 19:25-27 ), has its earnest and adumbration in the temporal vindication of Job at last by Jehovah in person.
twice--so to the afflicted literal and spiritual Jerusalem ( Isaiah 40:2 , 60:7 , 61:7 , Zechariah 9:12 ). As in Job's case, so in that of Jesus Christ, the glorious recompense follows the "intercession" for enemies ( Isaiah 53:12 ).
11. It was Job's complaint in his misery that his "brethren," were "estranged" from him ( Job 19:13 ); these now return with the return of his prosperity ( Proverbs 14:20 , Proverbs 19:6 Proverbs 19:7 ); the true friend loveth at all times ( Proverbs 17:17 , 18:24 ). "Swallow friends leave in the winter and return with the spring" [HENRY].
eat bread--in token of friendship ( Psalms 41:9 ).
piece of money--Presents are usual in visiting a man of rank in the East, especially after a calamity ( 2 Chronicles 32:23 ). Hebrew, kesita. MAGEE translates "a lamb" (the medium of exchange then before money was used), as it is in Margin of Genesis 33:19 , Joshua 24:32 . But it is from the Arabic kasat, "weighed out" [UMBREIT], not coined; so Genesis 42:35 , 33:19 ; compare with Genesis 23:15 , makes it likely it was equal to four shekels; Hebrew kashat, "pure," namely, metal. The term, instead of the usual "shekel," &c., is a mark of antiquity.
earring--whether for the nose or ear ( Genesis 35:4 , Isaiah 3:21 ). Much of the gold in the East, in the absence of banks, is in the shape of ornaments.
12. Probably by degrees, not all at once.
13. The same number as before, Job 1:2 ; perhaps by a second wife; in Job 19:17 his wife is last mentioned.
14. Names significant of his restored prosperity ( Genesis 4:25 , 5:29 ).
Jemima--"daylight," after his "night" of calamity; but MAURER, "a dove."
Kezia--"cassia," an aromatic herb ( Psalms 45:8 ), instead of his offensive breath and ulcers.
Keren-happuch--"horn of stibium," a paint with which females dyed their eyelids; in contrast to his "horn defiled in the dust" ( Job 16:15 ). The names also imply the beauty of his daughters.
15. inheritance among . . . brethren--An unusual favor in the East to daughters, who, in the Jewish law, only inherited, if there were no sons ( Numbers 27:8 ), a proof of wealth and unanimity.
16. The Septuagint makes Job live a hundred seventy years after his calamity, and two hundred forty in all. This would make him seventy at the time of his calamity, which added to a hundred forty in Hebrew text makes up two hundred ten; a little more than the age (two hundred five) of Terah, father of Abraham, perhaps his contemporary. Man's length of life gradually shortened, fill it reached threescore and ten in Moses' time ( Psalms 90:10 ).
sons' sons--a proof of divine favor ( Genesis 50:23 , Psalms 128:6 , Proverbs 17:6 ).
17. full of days--fully sated and contented with all the happiness that life could give him; realizing what Eliphaz had painted as the lot of the godly ( Job 5:26 , Psalms 91:16 , Genesis 25:8 , 35:29 ). The Septuagint adds, "It is written, that he will rise again with those whom the Lord will raise up." Compare Matthew 27:52 Matthew 27:53 , from which it perhaps was derived spuriously.

Verse 1 We know not what a day may bring forth. This does not forbid preparing for to-morrow, but presuming upon to-morrow. We must not put off the great work of conversion, that one thing needful. Verse 2 . There may be occasion for us to justify ourselves, ( proverbs 27:3-4 ) ( proverbs 27:5-6 ) rebukes are better, not only than secret hatred, but than love which compliments in sin, to the hurt of the soul. Verse 7 . The poor have a better relish of their enjoyments, and are often more thankful for them, than the rich. In like manner the proud and self-sufficient disdain the gospel; but those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, find comfort from the meanest book or sermon that testifies of Christ Jesus. Verse 8 . Every man has his proper place in society, where he may be safe and comfortable. ( proverbs 27:9-10 ) kindred's sake; apply to those who are at hand, and will help in need. But there is a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother, and let us place entire confidence in him. Verse 11 . An affectionate parent urges his son to prudent conduct that should gladden his heart. The good conduct of Christians is the best answer to all who find fault with the gospel. Verse 12 . Where there is temptation, if we thrust ourselves into it, there will be sin, and punishment will follow. Verse 13 . An honest man may be made a beggar, but he is not honest that makes himself one. Verse 14 . It is folly to be fond of being praised; it is a temptation to pride. ( proverbs 27:15-16 ) shower, troublesome for a time; the contentions of a wife are like constant rain. Verse 17 . We are cautioned to take heed whom we converse with. And directed to have in view, in conversation, to make one another wiser and better. Verse 18 . Though a calling be laborious and despised, yet those who keep to it, will find there is something to be got by it. God is a Master who has engaged to honour those who serve him faithfully. Verse 19 . One corrupt heart is like another; so are sanctified hearts: the former bear the same image of the earthly, the latter the same image of the heavenly. Let us carefully watch our own hearts, comparing them with the word of God. Verse 20 . Two things are here said to be never satisfied, death and sin. The appetites of the carnal mind for profit or pleasure are always desiring more. Those whose eyes are ever toward the Lord, are satisfied in him, and shall for ever be so. Verse 21 . Silver and gold are tried by putting them into the furnace and fining-pot; so is a man tried by praising him. Verse 22 . Some are so bad, that even severe methods do not answer the end; what remains but that they should be rejected? The new-creating power of God's grace alone is able to make a change. ( 23-27 ) . We ought to have some business to do in this world, and not to live in idleness, and not to meddle with what we do not understand. We must be diligent and take pains. Let us do what we can, still the world cannot be secured to us, therefore we must choose a more lasting portion; but by the blessing of God upon our honest labours, we may expect to enjoy as much of earthly blessings as is good for us.
1. Do not confide implicitly in your plans ( Proverbs 16:9 , 19:21 , james 1:1 4:13-15 ).
2. Avoid self-praise.
3. heavy--The literal sense of "heavy," applied to material subjects, illustrates its figurative, "grievous," applied to moral.
a fool's wrath--is unreasonable and excessive.
4. envy--or, "jealousy" (compare Margin; Proverbs 6:34 ), is more unappeasable than the simpler bad passions.
5, 6. secret love--not manifested in acts is useless; and even, if its exhibition by rebukes wounds us, such love is preferable to the frequent (compare Margin), and hence deceitful, kisses of an enemy.
7. The luxury of wealth confers less happiness than the healthy appetite of labor.
8. Such are not only out of place, but out of duty and in danger.
9. rejoice the heart--the organ of perceiving what pleases the senses.
sweetness . . . counsel--or, "wise counsel is also pleasing."
10. Adhere to tried friends. The ties of blood may be less reliable than those of genuine friendship.
11. The wisdom of children both reflects credit on parents and contributes to their aid in difficulties.
12, 13. (Compare Proverbs 20:16 , 22:3 ).
14. Excessive zeal in praising raises suspicions of selfishness.
15. (Compare Proverbs 19:13 ).
very . . . day--literally "a day of showers."
16. hideth--or, "restrains" (that is, tries to do it); is as fruitless an effort, as that of holding the wind.
the ointment of his right hand--the organ of power ( Psalms 17:7 , 18:35 ). His right hand endeavors to repress perfume, but vainly. Some prefer: "His right hand comes on oil," that is, "cannot take hold." Such a woman cannot be tamed.
17. a man sharpeneth . . . friend--that is, conversation promotes intelligence, which the face exhibits.
18. Diligence secures a reward, even for the humble servant.
19. We may see our characters in the developed tempers of others.
20. Men's cupidity is as insatiable as the grave.
21. Praise tests character.
a man to his praise--according to his praise, as he bears it. Thus vain men seek it, weak men are inflated by it, wise men disregard it, &c.
22. The obstinate wickedness of such is incurable by the heaviest inflictions.
23, 24. flocks--constituted the staple of wealth. It is only by care and diligence that the most solid possessions can be perpetuated ( Proverbs 23:5 ).
25-27. The fact that providential arrangements furnish the means of competence to those who properly use them is another motive to diligence (compare Psalms 65:9-13 ).
The hay appeareth--literally, "Grass appeareth" ( Job 40:15 , Psalms 104:14 ).
27. household--literally, "house," the family ( Acts 16:15 , 1 Corinthians 1:16 ).

VATICAN CITY — In unadorned white robes, the first pope from the Americas sets a tone of simplicity and pastoral humility in a church desperate to move past the tarnished era of abuse scandals and internal Vatican upheavals.
The choice of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio — who took the name Francis — reflected a series of history-making decisions by fellow cardinals who seemed determined to offer a message of renewal to a church under pressures on many fronts.
The 76-year-old archbishop of Buenos Aires — the first from Latin America and the first from the Jesuit order — bowed to the crowds in St. Peter's Square and asked for their blessing in a hint of the austere style he cultivated while modernizing Argentina's conservative Catholic church.
In taking the name Francis, he drew connections to the 13th century's St. Francis of Assisi, who saw his calling as trying to rebuild the church in a time of turmoil. It also evokes images of Francis Xavier, one of the 16th century founders of the Jesuit order that is known for its scholarship and outreach.
Francis, the son of middle-class Italian immigrants, is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope last time, reportedly gaining the second-highest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI.
Groups of supporters waved Argentine flags in St. Peter's Square as Francis, wearing simple white robes, made his first public appearance as pope.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening," he said before making a reference to his roots in Latin America, which accounts for about 40 percent of the world's Roman Catholics.
Bergoglio often rode the bus to work, cooked his own meals and regularly visited the slums that ring Argentina's capital. He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church.
He accused fellow church leaders of hypocrisy and forgetting that Jesus Christ bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes.
"Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony. Go out and interact with your brothers. Go out and share. Go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit," Bergoglio told Argentina's priests last year.
Bergoglio's legacy as cardinal includes his efforts to repair the reputation of a church that lost many followers by failing to openly challenge Argentina's murderous 1976-83 dictatorship. He also worked to recover the church's traditional political influence in society, but his outspoken criticism of President Cristina Kirchner couldn't stop her from imposing socially liberal measures that are anathema to the church, from gay marriage and adoption to free contraceptives for all.
"In our ecclesiastical region, there are priests who don't baptize the children of single mothers because they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage," Bergoglio told his priests. "These are today's hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation. And this poor girl who, rather than returning the child to sender, had the courage to carry it into the world, must wander from parish to parish so that it's baptized!"
This sort of pastoral work, aimed at capturing more souls and building the flock, is an essential skill for any religious leader in the modern era, said Bergoglio's authorized biographer, Sergio Rubin.
Bergoglio himself felt most comfortable taking a very low profile, and his personal style has been the antithesis of Vatican splendor.
"It's a very curious thing: When bishops meet, he always wants to sit in the back rows. This sense of humility is very well seen in Rome," Rubin said before the 2013 conclave to choose Benedict's successor.
Bergoglio's influence seemed to stop at the presidential palace door after Nestor Kirchner and then his wife, Cristina Fernandez, took over Argentina's government.
His church had no say when the Argentine Supreme Court expanded access to legal abortions in rape cases, and when Bergoglio argued that gay adoptions discriminate against children, Fernandez compared his tone to "medieval times and the Inquisition."
This kind of demonization is unfair, says Rubin, who obtained an extremely rare interview with Bergoglio for his biography, "The Jesuit."
"Is Bergoglio a progressive — a liberation theologist even? No. He's no third-world priest. Does he criticize the International Monetary Fund and neoliberalism? Yes. Does he spend a great deal of time in the slums? Yes," Rubin said.
Bergoglio has stood out for his austerity. Even after he became Argentina's top church official in 2001, he never lived in the ornate church mansion where Pope John Paul II stayed when visiting the country, preferring a simple bed in a downtown building, heated by a small stove on frigid weekends. For years, he took public transportation around the city, and cooked his own meals.
Bergoglio almost never granted media interviews, limiting himself to speeches from the pulpit, and was reluctant to contradict his critics, even when he knew their allegations against him were false, said Rubin.
That attitude was burnished as human rights activists tried to force him to answer uncomfortable questions about what church officials knew and did about the dictatorship's abuses after the 1976 coup.
Many Argentines remain angry over the church's acknowledged failure to openly confront a regime that was kidnapping and killing thousands of people as it sought to eliminate "subversive elements" in society. It's one reason why more than two-thirds of Argentines describe themselves as Catholic, but fewer than 10 percent regularly attend mass.
Under Bergoglio's leadership, Argentina's bishops issued a collective apology in October 2012 for the church's failures to protect its flock. But the statement blamed the era's violence in roughly equal measure on both the junta and its enemies.
"Bergoglio has been very critical of human rights violations during the dictatorship, but he has always also criticized the leftist guerrillas; he doesn't forget that side," Rubin said.

Received the wheels in California nice and fast! Factory packaging was superb, but the real treat are the wheels themselves. First off, lighter than advertised: 655g front and 850g rear on my digital scale (Campag freehub, without QRs). making these just 50g heavier than my 2009 Zeros! Build and finish are top shelf, perfectly round and straight. Have about 300 miles on them... Nice and (sprinter) stiff, yet quite forgiving and comfortable in all conditions. They actually feel faster (less resistance) than the Zeros, no doubt due to the thinner, highly strung slight-bladed spokes. They are very stable in cross-wind and blustery conditions. These are just about the perfect do-it-all wheels!

There he will serve a term of 63-months in federal prison, followed by a term of five years supervised release following his guilty plea in March to one count of embezzlement while acting as President and CEO of First National Bank, Rosedale, a position he held at the bank for 40 years.
He was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,530,000.
McCaslin began working for First National Bank of Rosedale in April 1967 and, according to court documents, he worked his way up the employment latter and eventually became the president and CEO of the bank until he was suspended in 2009 and his subsequent retirement in January 2010.
In his plea agreement, McCaslin said that he used his authority as president and CEO of FNBR to embezzle $18,067.89 for his own personal use. As part of the plea agreement, the United States agreed to not seek verdicts on the other charges that McCaslin was facing.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of the Inspector General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Treasury Department Office of the Inspector General investigated the case.
"The crimes committed by McCaslin tell a disturbing tale of avarice and greed," said U.S. Attorney Felicia C. Adams. "He abused his position of trust for his own financial gain. The sentence McCaslin received reinforces the message that federal courts view embezzlement as a serious crime that warrants significant punishment. The United States Attorney's Office is committed to holding those who abuse their authority accountable for their illegal activities."
After recanting McCaslin's not guilty plea and coming to a plea agreement, Gerald Jacks, counsel for McCaslin, petitioned the court to take leniency.
"The court is respectfully requested to depart downward from the sentencing guidelines because of the defendant's extraordinary acceptance of responsibility and cooperation," said Jacks in the motion. "He never tried to hide his guilt and has accepted full responsibility for his actions. He has paid over $250,000 back to the bank, without being required to do so and well before his conduct was discovered by the examiners. This request is also made because McCaslin has led a life exemplified by helping others in times of need."
Since FNBR was a banking institution where deposits were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or F.D.I.C., McCaslin's guilty plea put him in violation of Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 656, which carries a maximum possible penalty of not more than 30 years imprisonment, a $1,000,000 fine, or both, and five years of supervised release.
McCaslin is set to be released in December 2017.

I'm outfitting a Dominator-class Cruiser and I'm curious as to how useful certain Components will be for an assault ship. While the Invasion Bridge, BG-15 Assault Scanners, Barracks, and Drop Pod Launch Bays are all obvious in how useful they will be, there are a few others that leave me wondering.
Nova Cannon: The ship comes with this, so it's going to be there. It seems like it will be great for punching holes in orbital defenses (and possibly minefields) from a standoff distance. However, I am wondering if this is also useful for direct bombardment of ground targets. I have never heard of weapons other than Macrobatteries and Lances used for orbital bombardment, so is it even possible to bombard with a Nova Cannon?
Disruption Macrocannon Broadsides: Is there some reason that these could not be used to bombard? I like the idea of knocking power out over a large swath of ground - hitting hive cities, ground-based defense weapons, etc. so that they can be captured relatively intact by the troops the ship is dropping.
Torpedoes: This ship will not be mounting Torpedoes, but otherwise this is the same question as with the Nova Cannon - can Torpedoes be used to bombard ground targets?

Makes it easy and stress free to level and torte a cake layer perfectly every time.
Pros: Blade doesn't twist, ruler guides, sturdy and well made. Precision cutting for a great cake structure.
Cons: Have to watch out for the very sharp blade, after a year I had one plastic knob crack from tightening too much. (Replacement was cheap though)
I have the large double bladed one and I use it on every cake now! I used to stress out trying to make sure all my layers were level and to the same height for all layers of the cake. The ruler guides on this tool help you adjust the height of the blade, and if you have the double bladed one, you can torte at the same time. It can also be set to cut layers at a angle too. Great tool!

Spring 2010 Trail Offerings From Salomon
Salomon has three new trail running shoes for Spring 2010. Two shoes are updates, the XT Wings 2 and the XT Hawk 2, and the XA Pro 5 is a new introduction. Before we get into the specifics, let's have a brief review of Salomon trail running footwear. Salomon designs trail running shoes to provide rugged trail performance over a vast variety of terrain. All Salomon shoes incorporate a Sensift upper design for a secure midfoot fit. This design keep your foot well grounded in the shoe and reduces slippage so that the foot and the shoe move as one entity. Another unilateral feature is the Quicklace sytem, which allows for easy-on, easy-off entry and egress of of the shoe. The Quicklace system is also easily stowed under a stretch mesh situated at the top of the tongue. This handy feature prevents the laces from getting caught on wayward branches or other trail debris. Each Salomon shoe uses a specific outsole and midosle combination to meet specific needs and well touch on these specifics as we discuss the new shoes below.
Award winning shoe gets a new midsole material.
When the XT Wings debuted in January 2008, Runner's World designated the shoe as a Best Debut and for good reason. The XT Wings delivered a superb, snug fit for great control on the trail. Yet as good as this shoes was on the trail, it provided superb comfort for road running. The versatility of the XT Wings is no accident. From the outset, the XT Wings was designed to address the needs of runners who love the trails but live in environments where roads are unavoidable. Instead of having to drive to the trail, Salomon felt you should be able to run to the trail and keep going with just one shoe. Hence, the XT Wings was born.
Built on the concept of a human body analogy, the XT Wings consisted of skeleton, muscle and tendon components. The skeleton is Salomon's Agile Chasis System (ACS). Structural integrity and stability are afforded by the ACS. Just as muscles contract to initiate or resist movement, the AC midsole flexes to absorb impact. To aid in energy return, the AC Tendon outsole elongates and snaps back to its original shape. The resulting combination of all three components is an enjoyable ride quality that is adaptive to varied terrain.
With the XT Wings 2, little has changed. The upper lines have not changed, so the XT Wings 2 provides the same great fit as its predecessor. A slight modification the to mud guard that reduced weight and increased flexibility without sacrificing protection is the only significant upper change. AC2 replaces the original AC midsole. AC2 provides greater resiliency relative to weight. Thus the XT Wings 2 weighs 0.3 ounces less than the original, but has greater cushioning durability. No changes were made to the outsole.

so now what do you think now?
First, I have never played v1 or v2 but it wasnt from lack of wanting to. I have both editions of the rules, and they both looked cool. also, I dont have a history with the game and a bookshelf of books. so Im not angry and I dont have a whole lot of speculative hatred on this...but I did with 4e D&D so I totally understand the haters
But for what its worth, I am very optimistic especially since the dice system was explained. I'm a sucker for crazy looking dice.
I'm a special education teacher and I know a few things about this and that. visual perception or lack of it, levels of abstract thought that kind of thing. I think its high time for a visual resolution system instead of a numerical. It can possiblely cut down on the abstraction of the mechanics. Instead of remembering to add 10 % to this roll for this circumstance, everything is referenced on the card and you add a dice. that can make a game that can move a bit quicker. The older i get the less math i want to do, the less things i want to remember. (how do i charge, can I parry or dodge, ok how do i do that?, was that a half action or a full action, etc) I hope the new version helps cut down on a lot of that
What I want from a designer diary is to get a look at each type of card, an example of combat, and how they expect you to use the cardboard minis since they explicitly stated that this wasnt a mini game. And more importantly how easy is this game to GM?

Expert hair designer Luis Alvarez shares his picks for 2013′s mane trends.
With America's Beauty Show coming to Chicago March 9-11, TCW talked with Luis Alvarez, co-founder/vice president, Aquage and Biomega, about – what else? – hair.
Mr. Alvarez's extensive knowledge and mastery of hairdressing has earned the 20-plus-year stylistnumerous awards and has created impeccable standards the rest of the industry follows. And his Aquage hair care line, which started at his kitchen table in 1998 and has grown to include the Biomega line of products, has become a staple in independent salons and spas.
The Chicago native photographed Joffrey Ballet dancers for this year's industry trade show. "Dancers can do things with their bodies that are off the charts. There was a high difficulty of hair and posing in these shots," comments Mr. Alvarez. "Their bodies were so moldable, could do anything. They blew me away."
Hair designs are often works of art with Mr. Alvarez's creations. "I'm inspired by architecture or sculpture," he adds. " I want to celebrate hair and the virtuosity of what you can do with it as a medium."
A large influence in consumer hair trends is what's being shown on the runways. But as Mr. Alvarez points out, fashion is about individuality, not a one-size-fits-all mentality. "Consumers gravitate toward haircuts that enhance their features rather than forcing a certain shape because it's trendy," he says.
And just as we're all trying to simplify our lives, the current hair trend is simplicity. "I'm seeing more solid, rich, saturated, healthy-looking color," shares Mr. Alvarez. "Styling is easy, effortless and organic."
Those of you with long locks won't need cutting shears anytime soon, because, with good reason, long hair isn't fading. "Majority of women feel more sensual with longer hair that frames their face," Mr. Alvarez adds. "My favorite is long, channeled, disconnected layers that blend fluidly without showing lines."
From red to caramel to blonde, another trend that's not leaving the scene is highlights. "Highlights will never go away because they're safe and consumer-friendly," explains Mr. Alvarez. "But I forecast a change in tonality where highlights will be in the same hue instead of contrasting highlights over color."

Ella Jenkins will perform on Jan. 21 at the Beth Eden Baptist Church in Chicago.
Related Stories
Updated: February 19, 2013 1:01PM
Here is a look at events with tickets already on sale or going on sale soon.
Events include Ella Jenkins at the Beth Eden Baptist Church in Chicago.
11121 S. Loomis Ave., Chicago, (773) 233-6953, bethedenbaptistchurch.org
◆ Ella Jenkins at 2 p.m. Jan. 21. Admission is free. Already available.
Folksinger and musician Ella Jenkins returns to the Chicago's Beverly Hills and Morgan Park area to perform her annual family concert celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
Admission is free; a free will offering will be taken.
Jenkins has been inspiring young audiences for more than 50 years, performing all over the United States and throughout the world, bringing to all audiences upbeat music that bears a lively message of unity and friendship that celebrates diversity.
She grew up on Chicago's South Side where she had many musical influences. Her family relocated frequently, and Jenkins noticed that the rhythms, rhymes and games were different in each new neighborhood.
When she was still young, she began to create children's songs and seek out education-oriented jobs.
Performing and writing music with the philosophy that learning and fun are interrelated, Jenkins' call-and-response technique in songs, chants, poems, recitations and games are sung in Spanish, Chinese, Hebrew, Korean, Swahili and other languages.
"Songs from foreign languages and cultures have such interesting rhythmic patterns that children like to play," Jenkins said.
Jenkins has made TV guest appearances on NBC's "Today," CNN's "Showbiz Today," "Barney & Friends" and "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" and in films shown on "Sesame Street."
She was invited to share her music at the Smithsonian's 150th Birthday Party on the Mall in Washington, D.C
Jenkins has released 28 albums and two videos on Smithsonian Folkways, and the Smithsonian Institution named her a national treasure.
Among Jenkins' many awards are a 2004 Grammy for lifetime achievement and a Kohl Education Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award.
A recipient of the 1999 American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award, Jenkins was the first children's music entertainer to earn the prestigious honor.
The annual Ella Jenkins concert is co-sponsored by the Beverly Hills/Morgan Park Community of Churches and the Beverly Area Planning Association.
Birthday cake will be served after the concert, and free parking is available.

Ceramic urns and ceramic pet urns: beautiful, earth friendly and one-of-a-kind
No two ceramic urns or ceramic pet urns will ever look the same. These beautiful urns come in a variety of colors and hues, and they're literally one-of-a-kind.
Of the many materials available for cremation urns, ceramic offers the greatest variety in color, looks, finishes and shapes. Ceramic pottery can resemble petrified wood, stone or even jewels. It can look vibrant and iridescent, or it can convey an earthy vibe. It can appear polished and shiny ― or it can be flat finished and subdued.
Ceramic cremation urns include cremation boxes, as well as circular vessels. Even the lids of ceramic urns have a distinct personality, ranging from laser-cut, metal handles to delicately-shaped, ceramic lids.
Affordable urns – without sacrificing quality or beauty
In addition to being beautiful, ceramic urns offer the greatest variety in price. When a loved one passes, we know it can put a tremendous strain on your budget. You can find many attractive ― yet affordable ― ceramic urns on this website, in addition to higher priced works of pottery.
Diverse pottery techniques create lovely results
Many of our ceramic cremation urns are Raku style ― a type of Japanese-inspired pottery. Artists carefully mold the clay by hand, rather than turning the clay on a potter's wheel, and they fire the pottery at a high combustion level. The result is a truly unique and beautiful piece.
Some of our artists prefer to turn their clay on a potter's wheel, using special techniques to create stunning finishes and colors on their ceramic urns and ceramic pet urns. For example, one artist rubs the clay with a polished stone before firing each piece of pottery; while another artist applies salt and soda in the kiln to create colorful "flashing" on the surface of each urn.
Ceramic urns are ideal for display or burial
If you choose ceramic urns or ceramic pet urns for display, they can provide a beautiful resting place for a loved one.
If you're looking for burial options instead, ceramic urns are some of the most biodegradable cremation urns available. All our artists use earth-friendly materials, and if you bury these urns in the ground, they will disintegrate over time.

Quite simply, "fall" flower bulbs are planted in the fall, grow roots into winter, then sprout and bloom in the spring. These include favorites such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and others. "Spring" flower bulbs are also known as tender bulbs (they don't survive cold ground temperatures); they're planted in the spring and flower throughout the summer. They include dahlias, glads, cannas, calla lilies and others.

Geopolitical Diary
A Note from STRATFOR founder George Friedman
The Geopolitical Diary has been a popular daily analysis since we began
producing it in 2003. If our subscribers read only one thing from us on
a given day, this is the piece we recommend.
When we select the topic for the Diary*always subject of much debate*we
ask one question: if this day were to be remembered for anything, what
would that be?
Some days, like today, the answer hits us in the face. But on days when
the headlines aren't so monumental, we dissect a topic that often turns
out to be far more important in the grand scheme than one might
initially have guessed. This is our bread and butter.
Enjoy today's special Diary with our take on bin Laden's death and what
it means for Washington, as an example of what our subscribers see every

The Death of bin Laden and a Strategic Shift in Washington
May 3, 2011
Two apparently distinct facts have drawn our attention. The first and
most obvious is U.S. President Barack Obama's announcement late May 1
that Osama bin Laden had been killed. The second is Obama*s April 28
announcement that Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in
Afghanistan, will replace Leon Panetta as CIA director. Together, the
events create the conditions for the U.S. president to expand his room
to maneuver in the war in Afghanistan and ultimately reorient U.S.
foreign-policy priorities.
The U.S. mission in Afghanistan, as stated by Obama, is the destruction
of al Qaeda*in particular, of the apex leadership that once proved
capable of carrying out transnational, high-casualty attacks. Although
al Qaeda had already been severely weakened in Afghanistan and has
recently focused more on surviving inside Pakistan than executing
meaningful operations, the inability to capture or kill bin Laden meant
that the U.S. mission itself had not been completed. With the death of
bin Laden, a plausible, if not altogether accurate, political narrative
in the United States can develop, claiming that the mission in
Afghanistan has been accomplished. During a White House press conference
on Monday, U.S. Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan commented on bin
Laden*s death, saying "We are going to try to take advantage of this to
demonstrate to people in the area that al Qaeda is a thing of the past,
and we are hoping to bury the rest of al Qaeda along with Osama bin
Petraeus was the architect of the American counterinsurgency strategy in
Afghanistan. He symbolized American will in the region. The new
appointment effectively sidelines the general. By appointing Petraeus as
CIA director (he is expected to assume the position in July), Obama has
put the popular general in charge of a complex intelligence bureaucracy.
From Langley, Petraeus can no longer be the authoritative military voice
on the war effort in Afghanistan. Obama has retained Petraeus as a
senior member of the administration while simultaneously isolating him.
Together, the two steps open the door for serious consideration of an
accelerated withdrawal of most U.S. forces from Afghanistan. The U.S.
political leadership faced difficulty in shaping an exit strategy from
Afghanistan with Petraeus in command because the general continued to
insist that the war was going reasonably well. Whether or not this
accurately represented the military campaign (and we tend to think that
the war had more troubles than Petraeus was admitting), Petraeus'
prestige made it difficult to withdraw over his objections.
Petraeus is now being removed from the Afghanistan picture. Bin Laden
has already been removed. With his death, an argument in the United
States can be made that the U.S. mission has been accomplished and that,
while there may be room for some manner of special-operations
counterterrorism forces, the need for additional U.S. troops in
Afghanistan no longer exists. It is difficult to ignore the fact that
bin Laden was killed, not in Afghanistan, but deep within Pakistani
borders. With the counterterrorism mission in Afghanistan dissipating,
the nation-building mission in Afghanistan becomes unnecessary and
nonessential. In addition, with tensions in the Persian Gulf building in
the lead-up to the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, ending the war
in Afghanistan critically releases U.S. forces for operations elsewhere.
It is therefore possible for the United States to consider an
accelerated withdrawal in a way that wasn*t possible before.
We are not saying that bin Laden's death and Petraeus' new appointment
are anything beyond coincidental. We are saying that the confluence of
the two events creates politically strategic opportunities for the U.S.
administration that did not exist before, the most important of which is
the possibility for a dramatic shift in U.S. strategy in Afghanistan.
