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.

planned visit to Beijing by Klaus Regling, chief executive officer of the
EFSF, to court investors.
Sarkozy Said to Plan Plea to China for EU Fund
By Jonathan Stearns and Helene Fouquet - Oct 27, 2011 4:02 AM GMT+0900
French President Nicolas Sarkozy plans to call Chinese leader Hu Jintao
tomorrow to discuss China contributing to a fund European leaders may set
up to bolster its debt-crisis fight, said a person familiar with the
The investment vehicle was one of the options being considered by European
leaders at a summit tonight to expand the reach of its 440 billion-euro
($612 billion) European Financial Stability Facility.
Sarkozy's plea to his Chinese counterpart would come the day before a
planned visit to Beijing by Klaus Regling, chief executive officer of the
EFSF, to court investors.
The EFSF, established last year to sell bonds to finance loans for
distressed euro nations, has since also gained the authority to buy
sovereign bonds on the secondary and primary markets, offer credit lines
to governments and recapitalize banks as the Greece-triggered debt
troubles have spread. The EFSF said Regling's visit to China this week is
linked to the fund's original debt-issuance role.
"It is a normal round of discussion with important buyers of EFSF bonds,"
Christof Roche, spokesman for the Luxembourg- based facility, said by
e-mail today. He declined to comment further when contacted by Bloomberg
News by telephone. Agence France-Presse reported that Regling will travel
on to Tokyo, citing a European Union official in Asia.
China may be willing to respond to a European request to help them fund a
package to solve the euro region's debt crisis, AFP said, citing
unidentified government officials familiar with the situation.
International Calls
Europe is facing international calls to end a debt crisis that President
Barack Obama has said "is scaring the world" and U.S. Treasury Secretary
Timothy F. Geithner has described as a "catastrophic risk." With a Group
of 20 meeting looming on Nov. 3-4, euro-area government heads gathered in
Brussels today for the 14th time to tackle troubles that began in Greece
two years ago, then engulfed Ireland and Portugal and now threaten Spain
and Italy.
The question of leveraging the AAA rated EFSF has arisen because of the
political hurdles in countries such as Germany, the biggest European
economy, to increasing the national guarantees that back the fund. Talks
about creating a special investment vehicle funded by public and private
investors began this week and its effectiveness would hinge on
negotiations with credit-rating companies and international investors,
according to people familiar with the deliberations.
A second leveraging possibility being considered is to let the EFSF
guarantee a portion of national debt sales in the euro region. Neither
option excludes the other.
EFSF Sales
As part of its original role, the EFSF is providing 17.7 billion euros
under Ireland's aid package of 67.5 billion euros and 26 billion euros
under Portugal's rescue of 78 billion euros. So far, the EFSF has sold two
five-year bonds and one 10- year security, all in the first half of this
year. The Japanese government bought more than a fifth of the inaugural
issue in January.
On Oct. 13, the EFSF announced changes to its bond-sale program for the
two countries in the second half of 2011. Instead of selling four
"benchmark" bonds in the period, as outlined in mid-May, the fund will
sell one security for Ireland valued at 3 billion euros and delay issues
planned for Portugal until "early 2012."
The EFSF may have to finance more than 70 billion euros of a planned
second aid package for Greece. The initial Greek rescue of 110 billion
euros in May 2010 was composed of loans directly from euro-area
governments and the IMF.

State and federal surveyors have not found additional psyllids in either case, he said.
Growers in quarantined areas have the option of removing all stems and leaves before leaving the area or treating with an approved insecticide and harvesting within seven days.
Blakely said he expected most growers will opt for sprays because of the labor involved in removing plant material.
"There's going to be certain additional steps and cost involved with these additional sprays," he said. "And there are scheduling issues, but it's what needs to be done as far as trying to stop this pest."
Many growers also will be looking at using insecticides allowed against psyllids when they treat for other pests in case psyllids are in groves at undetectable levels.
"Even if they haven't seen the psyllid, it's a precaution to keep populations from becoming established," Blakely said.
Growers also are being encouraged to work with neighbors and take a coordinated approach to treatments. That way, psyllids can't jump from a treated grove to an untreated grove to seek refuge.
"If they're going to be spraying, it makes sense to talk to each other and time their sprays so they cover a large area at one time," he said.
Citrus nurseries within the quarantine zones are prohibited from moving plant material to outside areas unless it comes from a U.S. Department of Agriculture-approved structure.
The quarantines will remain in place for two years, barring additional psyllid detections, Lyle said.

Americans are cutting ties with their homeland at a record pace to avoid paying taxes and revealing offshore tax havens, but experts warn that making such an exit is often a complex and costly process.
Some 1,000 U.S. citizens and green-card holders have given up their allegiance to the U.S. in the first quarter of the year, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, citing data from Andrew Mitchel, a lawyer in Centerbrook, Conn., which makes it increasingly likely that this year's figures will exceed the 2,999 people who renounced their citizenship and green cards last year, versus 932 in 2012 and 1,781 in 2011.
Expatriate Americans giving up citizenship to escape taxes
Aggressive enforcement of tax rules for American expatriates and their families has prompted some middle-income earners to renounce their U.S. citizenship rather than risk sizable taxes and penalties. WSJ's Liam Pleven reports on Lunch Break with Tanya Rivero. Photo: Getty
So why the large number of people abandoning ship? This, experts say, is partly because the U.S. is one of the few countries in the world to tax its citizens on income they've earned while living abroad. Moving overseas for a job is one thing, but experts say renouncing U.S. citizenship for another country is a much more involved — and expensive — process. "The government doesn't just let you leave," says Stu Anolik, managing director at professional services provider CBIZ MHM. They're also aiming to sidestep the U.S. government's five-year campaign to collect over $6 billion in taxes, interest and penalties from over 43,000 U.S. taxpayers.
The top rate of U.S. income tax is relatively high by international standards. The 35% top rate of income tax increased to 39.6% for individuals with at least $400,000 of taxable income or couples with at least $450,000. Most countries fall comfortably below that rate. The exception: Western Europe. With an average top rate of 46%, it has the highest personal tax rates in the world, according to a 2012 survey by accounting giant KPMG.
Before renouncing citizenship, those with a net worth greater than $2 million may also need to pay an exit tax. U.S.-based assets get taxed as if they were being sold at the fair market value the day before expatriation, says George Eves, co-founder and CEO of ExpatInfoDesk.com, an online resource for expatriates. "The exact requirements can be complicated and will vary from person to person," he says.
With that in mind, we look at seven countries with top income tax rates that might appeal to Americans looking to change allegiances.

The other day, as I was making an order on Netrition.com when I realized you can now get a flat $4.95 shipping on your entire order, no matter how big or small, so I decided to get a few other things as well, just to try something new. One brand I happened to notice was Kay's Naturals, a brand of soy based all-natural snacks. The thing that immediately caught my eye was protein cereal that you could order in single serving bags - perfect for me since, though I don't often eat cereal - when I do I can polish of the box in one sitting without realizing it. At $0.89 cents per one-serving bag, it seemed fairly harmless to give a couple of the flavors a try. Kay's Naturals Better Balance Protein Cereal comes in 3 flavors: Honey Almond, French Vanilla, and Apple Cinnamon. I ordered samples of the Honey Almond and French Vanilla, and hoped for the best.
I tried the Honey Almond first, and ate it plain, dry, right out of the bag. It looks like miniature Cheerios, but the texture is different. It's crunchier, almost fake-feeling at first, but was easy to adjust to. I was expecting a burst of honey flavor, but instead was met with a very lightly sweet hint that satisfied my sweet tooth, yet was not overbearing. As with the texture I had to adjust to the taste, but ended up liking it. There is also a soy taste to it, so if you are not a fan of soy you may want to steer clear.
The French Vanilla was not much different than the Honey Almond, honestly, in terms of texture and the light taste, but I definitely preferred the flavor of the Honey Almond. I did not try either with milk or yogurt, but I can see no reason why they wouldn't go great with either one, especially as they are incredibly crunchy. If you've tried it, let us know what it was like.
Each 1 ounce serving (about 3/4 cup) of Kay's Naturals Better Balance Protein Cereal contains 100 calories, with 1.5 grams of fat, no saturated or trans fats, 3 grams of fiber (12% RDA), and 9 grams of soy protein (15% RDA). There is also 140 mg sodium, if that is also something you happen to watch. For those of you with Celiac disease, it happens to be gluten-free as well.
The ingredients are all natural, and there is nothing listed that I cannot pronounce (though I am not a fan of Canola oil, which is one of the ingredients). As for the price, I compared several sites online, which listed the single serving bags anywhere between $0.79 and close to $2. As I mentioned, I purchased them on Netrition.com for $0.89. I would probably buy the Honey Almond again, maybe try out the Apple Cinnamon flavor as well. I rather enjoyed it overall, especially as a quick low calorie, portable snack.

Oral History Program Clair Walker Interviewed by Marci Farr 3 September 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Clair Walker Interviewed by Marci Farr 3 September 2008 Copyright © 2009 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted September 3, 2008 and concerns his recollections of his mother, Olive Campbell Walker, and the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Clair Walker. His mom, Olive Campbell Walker, graduated from the Dee School of Nursing in 1934. CW: It was '34 because mom and dad got married in '35. MF: It is September 03, 2008. We are interviewing Clair at his home in Ogden, Utah. Clair we just want to know a little bit about your mom, just tell us about her early life, where she grew up, her family, and where she was educated. CW: She the second of four children. Her mother, Marion Storey, was from North Ogden. Her dad, Delbert Campbell, was from Eden. They married and grew up in Liberty and then they took the whole family on a church mission to California. I didn't know they could do that but my grandpa pulled it off somehow, the whole family. They came back and made their home in Clearfield. Where Lindquist's mortuary is at in Clearfield was the Campbell farm. We have got the best plots because we sold it to them. I have still got my plot there but I have chosen cremation. But they were just a poor, hardworking family and her oldest brother made money during the war with tires and recycling. Mom decided to go to college. Her younger brother, Halvor, he became the postmaster general out in Clearfield and Sally married a big executive with Chrysler and he just recently passed and she lives in Auburn, California with her daughter now. MF: So where did she go to school? CW: Davis High. 2 MF: Why do you think she chose to become a nurse? Do you know what her reasoning was? CW: She was always a giving person. I could see where she would be happy and content helping others. MF: And the Dee School of Nursing because of convenience? Do you think because it was close in Ogden? CW: Yes. I think so. And she used to tell me the story, "I will not work in this cannery anymore for fifteen cents an hour." So I know she was chasing the almighty dollar and a little esteem of a career. That is what she was doing. MF: That is true. Plus she was during the Depression, right? CW: Yes, right. MF: So she was growing up and trying to face that too. CW: Yes. MF: You mentioned she knew some of the doctors, they were their instructors, and they came and taught at the nurse's home, right? They gave their lectures, do you remember if she said anything about that? CW: No I don't know that she did. She worked for Doctor Dumke, Ezekiel Dumke for a lot of years as the scrub nurse and then when she got out of being a surgical nurse she worked as Doctor Conrad Jensen's office gal for many years before she went on to Davis County and… MF: Before she went to the public health nurse. CW: Yes. 3 MF: When she first started nurse's training, did she tell you much about when she first got there? Was it a shock to her, as far as the strictness of it? Do you remember her saying anything like that? CW: She said it was kind of a Gestapo type. Boot camp, you know, it was one of those. I understand she always said that it was probably still that way, very strict and structured and not too many people will get out of line. MF: You would have to be corrected. CW: Yes. MF: Yes we have heard that from a lot. CW: So the tradition continues. MF: Do you remember if she said anything like if they had a night off, if they weren't working, what they used to do? CW: She wouldn't ever tell me about the fun times. Only the burdens she did for her sons. I am sure she got in to a little trouble. MF: She probably had some fun times. CW: Perfectly normal. MF: Did she say anything about the curfew, if they had to be in at a certain time? CW: I think it was rather early like eight, nine o'clock. MF: It wasn't till midnight or one. CW: I don't think so. She did tell me the story that she was living on 27th and Jefferson in those apartments right there and that is when they had the old street car up 27th street. And she could hitch a ride up there for like a dime or 4 something, whatever it was. And she said that dad proposed to her out there on the porch. MF: Oh. CW: She came out one morning, "What is he doing here?" You know? And it went on and on and that is how father came into the picture. MF: Now at that time were they required to attend church? Do you remember if she said anything or if it was a choice? CW: She didn't say. MF: Do you remember, her saying anything, about when she had her capping and pinning ceremony? Did she say where it took place? CW: No she was just very proud of that picture that was printed in the paper. And that so few had made it through the course. She was very proud to prove to her dad that she could… MF: That she could do it. CW: He never really encouraged her all the way through until after. MF: Until she was done. CW: "That is my daughter, there." You know, and then he was a proud papa. MF: Yes. CW: But Grandpa Campbell probably didn't give her a lot of help. MF: She had to do it to prove herself, her worth, which obviously… CW: Yes, and she did and rubbed it in his nose. MF: Did she talk much about when she was on shifts? Did she ever say much about what training took place? 5 CW: I know that she had the real lousy shifts, the worse possible, graveyard, whatever you want to call it. But she didn't go into too much detail other than once she got into being chosen as a surgical nurse. And then she said her life really opened up. MF: It made a big difference. CW: Yes. And she would tell me that she was chosen over all the others because she could get that left-handed equipment into Dumke's hands because he was a southpaw. Those doctors had tempers. If you throw something or give the wrong scalpel out it goes. They are just that way. MF: Was the surgical floor her favorite? CW: Yes it was. She liked that. She had two or three real good friends. I know one she often spoken about was Lucy Smith Spong. We went out to visit them quite a bit. They lived out in Harrisville. It was a neat experience because her husband Bob had model trains downstairs and three little boys love that kind of thing. And then the two nurses would sit upstairs and tell stories. We would hear them laughing up there. They were having a good time. MF: Did she say anything while they were in training if they received any payment at all for their time? CW: She never mentioned anything of that. MF: Did she know any of the Dee family members? CW: She never brought that out if she did. I am sure she knew them. MF: I am sure Elizabeth would probably be the prominent one because she was so good with the nurses. 6 CW: Now didn't they start that in the late 20's? MF: They started it in 1910 was when the school was built. They had groundbreaking in July of 1910 in December they were ready to go. CW: That is where I came to this planet. MF: Tell us about after she graduated where she went. You said she was a surgical nurse, right? CW: Yes a surgical nurse. I don't know how many years, I think probably three or four and then she went to work for Conrad Jensen. MF: And that is what she did until she went to Davis County School… CW: To Davis County and she retired in '76. MF: She loved doing that though. CW: She did. As a matter of fact, I went to her retirement, I took a half a day off work and went down there, and they had it in the Farmington Courthouse. Her best friend and boss was Doctor Keith Barnes who pretty much ran Kaysville at that time. Ever heard of Barnes Bank? MF: Yes. CW: He was an excellent boss. She had the ultimate respect for him. When they couldn't get me a babysitter she would take me out there. So I would be maybe playing at Sunset school, the only kid out in the playground, wouldn't that raise a red flag? "What is he doing out there? He doesn't know a soul. He is having a good time." But you know she had a lot of leeway and she could take care of her family that way. She spoke very highly of Keith Barnes. But getting back to her retirement, the place was packed. They had a better turnout than some of the 7 commissioners that were retiring out there. And to walk in and see three hundred people for my mom was a pretty cool day. MF: It meant that her training, and that is what we come back to is where she was trained and how it was, even though it was like a Gestapo Nazi camp, you know what, it served her well as far as what she decided to do for her life. CW: It has. And years later she would tell stories that maybe she would have a flat tire out on the road or something and somebody would stop, well I remember you Olive, you were my school nurse and fix ; those kinds of stories, you do something and it comes back to you. MF: It comes back to you. That makes a difference. CW: That was really neat. MF: I think we have got our questions so we are good. We appreciate you letting us come.

In a Riyadh bus station, a man comes across a file containing official reports about an abandoned baby. As he pieces together the shattered life documented within, a larger picture emerges of three outsiders-a Bedouin, an orphan, and a eunuch-linked by fate and trying to make lives for themselves in a predatory city.
Unfolding with the intensity of a fever dream over the course of one night, Wolves of the Crescent Moon is a novel of astonishing power and great moral consequence about a deeply traditional society confronting the modern world.

Did you have formal training as a writer? Are there writers, particularly from the
No, I haven't had formal training as a writer, because we don't have these kinds of programs like you do in the western world. But I have had the opportunity to learn from such great teachers as Charles Dickens, William Faulkner, Balzac, and Dostoevsky. They taught me the rules of writing when I was a child. After that I continued with contemporary writers like Gabriel García Márquez, Milan Kundera, Jose Saramago, etc. I think this is brilliant training.
The novel is heavily symbolic and does not on the surface involve any scandalous or overtly political content. Why then was it banned in your home country?
It was banned in my home country because we have a strong and severe censorship regime. The Ministry of Culture in

No, as I said I published in
How did you come up with the idea of writing about a man waiting in a bus station? Do you think of Turad as a typical protagonist?
The idea came from a man who lost his ear, and who hid it to prevent people from seeing his shame. According to the customs of the desert, if you commit a shameful act, then a part of your face, such as your nose or your ear, gets cut off. This punishment forces you to leave your tribe and your home in the desert. Then I wrote the man's life as a flashback.
What can you tell us about the tribal life that Turad left behind? Is it common now for people from the desert to move into the city, for work or other reasons?
Yes, people do move from the desert, but far less than, say, in the 1950s and 1960s. Many people move to cities to study or work, but a lot of them find it difficult to adapt to city life. They tend to look for others like themselves, and they gather and settle in certain parts of the city. This leads to a new kind of tribal racial discrimination.
All of your characters are mired in tragedy, yet the novel manages to express hope as well. Why do you choose such dramatic back-stories for your characters? And what do you intend by placing them in such reduced circumstances?
These characters are from a lower social class. The main problem is that unfortunately many westerners, even some Arabs, think there is no poverty or unemployment in
How did you go about choosing the structure for this novel? The writing shifts in and out of different points of view, sometimes within the same page and story, much like one would find in the oral tradition. Were you purposefully trying to invoke that type of storytelling?
This is a good question. I structured the novel so that different parts of the backstory would become clear to the reader only gradually. And I wanted to give each of the three main characters a different voice. For example, Turad the Bedouin has a way of speaking that is different from that of Tawfiq the Sudanese slave. In addition, Nasir's dairy is written in a different voice. The different ways that each of them uses language create distinct types of storytelling.
The city in the novel is like a character, imbued with a kind of romance. Can you describe your own

Of course I hope to see the rest of my work translated and published by my wonderful publisher.
What are you working on now? Will we see these characters, or others like them, again in your fiction?
I started to write a new novel last year. The characters are different, but they're also living in a strictly religious society, and they're dealing with the effects of terrorism. Most Arab writers try to write about terrorism as westerners understand it; they view the people living among them through western eyes. It is very difficult to see and talk about the tree without enough knowledge of the seed. I try to understand the religious strictness in

Mary L. Hackett
In "A Bridge to Landscape Quilts," Mary shows how she has used patchwork to interpret landscapes she once would have painted in watercolors. Mary's work hangs in private and public collections around the United States and Japan, and she has received recognition locally and nationally. Her quilts have been exhibited in numerous quilt shows and art shows from coast to coast, and she has pieces in the permanent collections of the White House and the Museum of the American Quilter's Society. Mary writes articles on technique, inspiration, and other professional topics, but her favorite creative activity is making quilted landscapes. While she learned to sew as a young girl and made many of her own clothes through the years, she didn't become really excited about fabric until she learned to quilt. Now every creative urge she has seeks to express itself somehow in patchwork.

Renae Haddadin
Renaes love of quilting began in 1992 when her older sister taught her to hand appliqué and quilt by hand. Living in Amman, Jordan, for the next seven years, she had limited access to quilting fabric, patterns, and instruction, so Renae enjoyed refining her hand-quilting skills.
Upon returning to the United States, she was faced with seemingly unlimited quilting fabric and ideas. Renae quickly realized that she would need to learn machine quilting and piecing to keep up with all the projects. She bought a longarm machine and began quilting for others. Quilting for shows and teaching others to quilt quickly followed.
Renae is always looking for ways to make the processes of quilting simpler with greater precision, which is what led her to develop the Mini Rays® and Amazing Rays® tools.
She now lives in Sandy, Utah, with her husband and three sons. When not quilting or driving boys to soccer, Renae enjoys running, camping, hiking, and gardening. She says she is most happy when she is on the move.

Marianne L. Hatton
Marianne can barely recall a time when she hasnt sewn. Like many quilters, she sewed clothes from a young age and dressed Barbie dolls with garments requiring those tiny eighth-inch buttons and half-inch zippers! It seemed right and proper then that she became a high school home economics teacher so she could sew some more. Marianne has been making quilts for the past 30 years or so, and has taught quiltmaking for at least 20 of those years in adult education settings, privately, and in quilt stores. She owned The Uncommon Thread, a small fabric import business specializing in importing hand-dyed fabrics from South Africa, for about five years, but gave it up to focus more on teaching. Students in her studio classes range from beginners through experienced quilters and she enjoys every opportunity to teach. Her goal is to enable students to put their unique stamp on their creations, and she endeavors to bring out the latent talent for design that many quilters dont know they have within themselves! Besides quilting, Marianne enjoys gardening, cooking, hiking, kayaking, and traveling. Marianne was born in South Africa. She and her husband came to the United States in 1977. They first lived in Madison, Wisconsin, where Marianne began her quilting pursuits, and they now reside in Sudbury, Massachusetts. They have two grown sons and one opportunistic cat who, like all other quilters cats, seems to think the quilts are made solely with her best interests in mind.

Since learning to quilt in 1970, Bettina has immersed herself in the quilt world. She wears many hatsquilt appraiser, quilt show judge, quilt historian, quiltmaker, and consultant. She shares her love for quilting with others by teaching, lecturing, and writing.

In her capacity as a quilt historian, Bettina has been an active member of the American Quilt Study Group since 1980 and served on the advisory board of the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. She has also been a board member for the Museum of the American Quilter's Society in Paducah, Kentucky. Bettina's study of historical patchwork and appliqued blocks resulted in her book "Carrie Hall Blocks," which features piecing diagrams for sewing and pattern templates for creating 200 of these blocks. Published works include: "Amish Kinder Komforts."

Ofcourse, now with the Dark Angels revealed all we are waiting for now is the Blood Angels. We need Blood Angels. There should be Blood Angels, it's mandatory to have Blood Angels.
Don't know how many chapters there will be to yield playable PCs, but once Blood Angels are revealed here's hoping for some more obscure and relatively unknown chapters such as Salamanders, White Scars, Imperial Fists, Black Templars.
How about you?

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The Shoe Thrown 'Round the World
September 24, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Sumayyah Meehan, Muslim Media News Service (MMNS) Middle East Correspondent
In one single gesture, Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi summed up the sentiments that had been swelling in the hearts of Iraqi's and Muslims from all over the world ever since former President George W. Bush indulged in his own 'Axis of Evil' and went to war with Iraq. With the throw of a pair of size 10 loafers, al-Zaidi unleashed a wave of discontent that Iraqi's had grappled with ever since their country was unlawfully invaded.
Many Muslims from all over the world cheered, as scenes of adults and children alike rejoicing in the streets of Baghdad waving their own shoes in the air played out on TV. Copycat shoe throwers also emerged in the days following the incident, most notably in India and China where at least two diplomats found themselves also dodging footwear.
However, news about the man behind the shoes was hard to come by. Following the incident, he was rushed away by Iraqi security personnel and imprisoned. Family members later revealed that al-Zaidi was severely beaten and tortured in prison. He was originally sentenced to spend three years in prison, but served only nine months of that sentence as he was recently released.
Finally, al-Zaidi is able to speak for himself and tell the world the reasons behind his actions. In a column recently appearing in the British-based 'The Guardian' newspaper, al-Zaidi writes, "When I threw the shoe in the face of the criminal, George Bush, I wanted to express my rejection of his lies, his occupation of my country, my rejection of his killing my people. My rejection of his plundering the wealth of my country, and destroying its infrastructure. And casting out its sons into a diasporas."
Further al-Zaidi denies that he is a hero and writes, "It humiliated me to see my country humiliated; and to see my Baghdad burned, my people killed. Thousands of tragic pictures remained in my head, pushing me towards the path of confrontation. The scandal of Abu Ghraib, the massacres of Falluja, Najaf, Haditha, Sadr City, Basra, Diyala, Mosul, Tal Afar, and every inch of our wounded land. I traveled through my burning land and saw with my own eyes the pain of the victims, and heard with my own ears the screams of the orphans and the bereaved. And a feeling of shame haunted me like an ugly name because I was powerless."
After his release, al-Zaidi was reunited with his family in a tearful and long-awaited reunion. According to his employer Al-Baghdadia TV, al-Zaidi has left Iraq and will travel to Syria and later Greece to receive medical care. Al-Zaidi suffered greatly at the hands of Iraqi security personnel who beat him with melt bars, electrocuted him with live wires and engaged in 'water boarding' to make him feel like he was drowning. The state of al-Zaidi's health is unknown at the present time.
In a recent development, al-Zaidi also revealed his future plans in a TV interview conducted by TSR television. He hopes to rally Iraqis together to lodge a complaint against former President Bush and put him on trial in The Hague for crimes against humanity. "I really want to go to Switzerland because it is a neutral country and because it is a country that did not support the occupation of Iraq," al-Zaidi said, "Switzerland hosts many international organizations, including some that fight for children, and Switzerland is a country that has a great democratic tradition. It is an example for the world,"
While the man himself may resist being touted as a hero for his actions. At least one artist has forever immortalized the shoes that were 'thrown' around the world. Based in London, artist P Waniewski has created a pair of size 10 shoes identical to the ones al-Zaidi threw, since U.S. security personnel purportedly destroyed the original pair following the incident. So named, 'Proud Shoes' the tribute is made of 21 kilograms of bronze and dipped in 24 KT. gold. The artist recently revealed in an interview his reasons for creating the tribute to al-Zaidi, "When I heard this story I was moved by the passion and fearlessness of Mr al-Zaidi's actions. The shoe that he threw was destroyed by the US authorities, so I felt it was a fitting way of marking this emotive event."

To discover the relationship between potassium levels and type 2 diabetes, a Johns Hopkins University study looked at more than 12,000 participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC), performed in 1987 and 1996. The study found that as potassium levels went up, the incidence of diabetes among study participants went down. The more than 2,000 African Americans in the study had lower average potassium levels than the 9,000 Caucasians and were twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ky. (8/3/13) - Built back in 1870, the famous Sexton House lies on the corner of Maple Grove Cemetery in Russellville, Ky. It is the home for the cemetery's sexton, which is an old-fashioned term for caretaker.
Most residents of Russellville know the story about the Sexton House or the "Russellville Girl," whose true name is not known.As legend has it, around the turn of the century, the daughter of the caretaker at the time was anxiously getting ready for her beau to pick her up and take her to a dance when a dangerous storm rolled in. According to folklore, she was so upset about the storm that she went to her bedroom window and cursed God. After doing so, she was struck by lighting and her image was forever burned into the window. For years and years, people would say that on a stormy day you could still see her reflection in the window. It was such a disturbance to the neighboring traffic, the window panes were painted over. However, her image was still seen, according to legend.
Today, the window is boarded up.

L-Tech Fountain Pen
LTech Fountain Pen
Excellent Pen - good response to problem
I purchased the L-Tec as a new user of fountain pens. Compared with two others this was excellent- it has a screw on cap and is well machined- reducing the chance of leakage. I didn't like the thickness of the line but Levinger immediately sent a fine nib (would actually like a "very fine" one. I was so satisfied I bought one for my daughter and have ordered a second one for myself (to leave at work). Also- so far it writes immediately even when it's sat for a few days

Excellent Product!!
This is precision instrument!. It has been made with exacting standards and attention to fine details. I can make this claim as I am using this product regularly. The proof came when I misplaced this pen and found it after eight months. I was afraid that due to eight months of non-use the ink might be dried up and I will have to clean it before it will work again. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the cap and used the pen, the ink flowed smoothly and the pen worked just fine! I would highly recommend this pen to anyone.

A sturdy pleasure
This is a fountain pen for people who use like to use old hand tools, as opposed to those who like to collect old hand tool. It's not a Rotring 600, but it is a sturdy, handsome, EDC pen that is backed by fantastic service. I had a problem with the original nib (baby's bottom) and Levenger replaced it quickly and with no questions asked. Later, I replaced the original nib with the stub (this is an ~ 0.7 – 0.8 stub) which really made this a distinctive writer that is simply a pleasure to carry and use. Be forewarned that the pleasures of this pen are a matter of personal preference. The pen is metal, so the pen is HEAVY. The pen posts (fairly) securely, but you wouldn't want to post it (again, HEAVY). The stub nib is NOT buttery smooth, but provides a pleasant feedback that tells you that you working with a particular (maybe quirky) writing tool. Complaints – well a minor one. I use this pen with a converter and it will periodically begin to run on the dry side so that I have to give the converter a twist to prime the feed. If you are the kind of person who likes to tweak mechanisms, this won't bother you; you may even find it somewhat satisfying. A different ink (I use mud a.k.a. Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin), or cartridges may solve the problem. I prefer to continue tweaking the converter. Also, and this may be a feature and not a bug, you can't get the clip off without feeling like you will damage it. The pen would look even cooler than it does, without the clip. It would be nice if it were removable. Finally, if you have the type of job where you have to move between the office and the floor (or field) and yet you still want to carry a fountain pen, this is one that you won't have to worry about mashing, dinging or scratching. You may do all those things, but the pen will still write and have a little character to boot. Even if you drop it on the nib, you can replace that in a few days.

Gift for Coworker
I have several fountain pens that are high quality, and most are cutom made. One of my coworkers was jealous of my pens and always complimented me on the style. So to returb a favor I wanted to get a nice fountain pen without breaking the bank, and the pen delivered! I went with engraving which came out nice and the pen functions smoothly. Very much worth the price. Needless to say id recomend this to anyone looking to give a classy gift.

Almost perfect
So far I love this pen. It writes VERY smoothly. It has a pretty stiff nib, that writes very consistently. The pen is a bit fatter than I expected, but I still very much like the design. My only issue with the pen so far is that when I leave the pen in my pocket, the cap has a tendency to loosen, and sometimes the nib will do that as well. The last thing is that the barrel is very tight to fit past the top of the converter.. It fits, but only with a bit of a push, which means I have to be careful with taking the barrel off as to not pull the converter off with it.

Good pen --- and takes TWSBI nibs
I bought this at the local Levenger store --- in fine point. I like the weight of the pen, its length, balance (unposted), and the cool feel of the metal barrel. However I prefer a narrower line. It turns out that this pen uses the same nib and feed manufacturer as the TWSBI 580 --- just take the chromed collar off the TWSBI nib/feed assembly and it screws right into your L-Tech. So I bought a TWSBI EF nib online and it's perfect! Both the original nib, and the replacement were smooth and without problems. I was fortunate to get the pen at a substantial discount --- Levenger was discounting them and the store was running an extra 20% off. So I paid about 60% of the usual price --- hence 5 stars for value!

Nice Pen!
I purchased the silver L-Tech fountain pen a few weeks ago and have been using it regularly. Bottom line is it feels good and writes nicely. It is solid and heavy in your hand, although maybe the knurled grip could use a little more "bite". I use this pen un-posted as the cap is rather heavy. The nib is smooth and I have not had any problems with skips or hard starts while using a Levenger cartridge. I like that a converter cartridge was included. Now I need to get the black Stealth model!
March 1, 2014
Good Pen
It's a little bigger than I pictured it, but it's nice. The writing is good. I use Waterman ink and absorbent paper. It's not delicate, but I could crank on the cap and break the plastic threads inside the cap, but it's easy to avoid breaking it. I have a high quality pen I bought at an art-show from a guy who carves them out of reindeer antler, for about the same price, and it a lot more durable. The dropper is made of cheap plastic and not compatible with my Waterman converts (droppers). For the price I would have appreciated all metal threads, but it's a pretty pen, affordable writes good, feels good. It might take a little getting used to, but it's worth the price. I wanted more, but I've happy with what I got.

great pen - cap comes off :(
I loved my L-Tech pen. Not only it writes very well and is well-balanced (without the cap, for my small hands) but it looks terrific. I absolutely love the industrial look and the matte-silver color. But. But after a couple of years of use, the threading that is used to close the cap has worn off. Now the cap will not stay on. So I cannot put the pen in my shirt pocket. Or in any pocket... I can only keep it upright in my pen-holder. Too bad, because I really love this pen. Now I have second thoughts about buying another Levenger pen...
January 29, 2014
Classy Solid Pens
II own both the silver and stealth models. These pens are super sturdy (both body and nib) as well as having simply classic tech designs. They are worthy successors to the old Rotring models. IF I did not keep losing them, I'd still be writing with the first one I bought more than a decade ago. I highly recommend these items (silver and black stealth).

Looking for recommendations on learning primitive skills, like making a bow and animal traps. Youtube? DVDs? Website? Book? Workshop? asked Nov 26 '12 at 16:32 Kevin Kelly |
One place to start is FM 21-76 US ARMY SURVIVAL MANUAL, which you can find for free in various electronic formats. linkanswered Nov 26 '12 at 21:19 snoyes |
Ahh ha! A downloadable public domain version of Camping & Woodcraft: http://archive.org/details/campingwoodcraft00kephrich Note: The printed version seemed to also have a second volume printed with it. Not sure if that is in the PD version A link for other books by the same author in the public domain: http://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Kephart%2C+Horace%2C+1862-1931%22 Which also makes me think: Have you covered the Internet Archive as a "cool tool"? linkanswered Nov 27 '12 at 12:11 joshuaw |
If you're on the West Coast, Trackers (http://trackersnw.com/blog/index.php) are the place to go. There are others, including bigger and better funded operations, but Trackers have an amazing wealth of knowledge, a love of what they do, and a focus on pedagogy and sharing their skills that is outstanding. They cover everything from wilderness survival to crafting, from marine to mycology. linkanswered Nov 26 '12 at 18:07 noirin |

Trackers seems to be a camp, which I may not be able to make. The book Camping and Woodcraft looks interesting, a reprint of lore from a century ago. Have you used this yourself, Joshuaw? linkanswered Nov 26 '12 at 20:16 Kevin Kelly |
In the Northwest, Wilderness Awareness School near Seattle is probably the best option, whether for a weekend, a year, or through self-study. http://wildernessawareness.org/ Mark Elbroch's tracking books are quite good. linkanswered Nov 27 '12 at 00:02 |

ME, I've seen the Foxfire books. What did you learn from them? linkanswered Nov 27 '12 at 10:15 Kevin Kelly |
Kevin, I have the book and have looked through it but not used the advice. Very practical advice some outdated but some still veryrelevant. How to make an effective bed-roll. How to make a lean-to. etc. Seems like not just lore but a practical handbook. Highly recommended even just for enjoyment reading. -josh linkanswered Nov 27 '12 at 12:05 joshuaw |

Beyond the brown envelope
For over 150 years, it has been a principle of English law that if an agent takes a bribe or a secret commission, he is liable to account to his principal for the amount received. However, there has been conflicting authority and academic debate as to whether the principal merely has a personal claim against the agent or whether he can assert a proprietary claim to the monies received and any profits made therefrom.

isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,069Maybe someone can tell me how to post photos? I have some pics on an SD card but I'm challenged as far as posting things.
Picked it up yesterday and it's even better than I thought.
Body is as straight as a pin. Original paint looks good unless a person wants to pick at it and point out the areas where the clearcoat is starting to peel just a bit.
Leather and interior are probably an 8 out of 10 and it runs exceptionall well. 138,000 miles.
A/C will throw snowballs at you.
The worst thing are the aluminum factory wheels. If you look at them close, you'll see curb rash and clearcoat peeling. They really need to be redone.
ABS light is on and has been for at least five years according to the seller
Owners Manual and Reatta pen are included in the leather folder. I found the factory "build sheet" inside the car.
If someone tells he how to do this, I'll post pics."> -

I just realized something...they don't have "CarSpace" here on Edmund's anymore, do they?
To post pics, you need to have an account at a photo sharing site, like Flickr, Photobucket, etc, or some kind of personal website where you can upload pictures.
If you don't have one, if you want to email me some pics, I can post them from my photobucket site. -
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,069
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,069
andre1969 Posts: 22,238Appreciate that but I'm going to have to figure out how to even email people pictures. I thought I knew how but I guess I don't.
It's actually not hard. First, to get those pictures off the camera, you need to connect it to the computer. Most digital cameras come with a usb cable that hooks from the camera to the computer. And some computers nowadays even have built-in ports that will accept the memory card. Which is a good thing, because I lost the USB cable to my camera years ago!
Anyway, once you plug the camera, or the card, into the computer, usually a window will pop up asking you what you want to do. Or, you can go to "my computer"/"computer" (usually an icon on the desktop, or in the pull-up menu that comes from the lower LH corner of a PC), and the memory card should come up under "devices with removable storage". If you click on that, it'll open a window that shows files of all the pictures you took.
You can just click on the pictures you want and drag them to the desktop, which will copy them to your computer. And then, in an email, just click the attach file icon and then go search for it.
I probably made it sound more complicated than it really is, but hope this helps! -
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,069
andre1969 Posts: 22,238Well, if you got them to your desktop, that's half the battle! If you're using Yahoo mail, there's a button that says "attach files". When you click on it, it'll bring up a page where you can attach the files. Just click the "browse" button, then select the desktop, and you should be able to find your pictures.
Anyway, sorry if I put any pressure on you. Congrats on the car, though! Hope you enjoy it, and welcome to the wonderful world of Buick, that elusive clique inhabited by me, Lemko, Imidazol97, and, well, on Edmund's that's probably about it! :P -
