DomainTools and Estibot are Domainer Favorites
Domain investors share their favorite tools.
What are your go-to tools for domaining?
I'm guessing DomainTools is one of your most frequented sites.
45% of people who took this year's Domain Name Wire Survey said DomainTools was the "software or hosted application that is most valuable to their domain name business for research and management."
Nearly 14% said the same thing about domain pricing and sales system Estibot.
After that usage drops off significantly. Between 4%-6% of survey respondents selected one of the following:
Domain Research Tool
Fresh Drop
DNSalePriceNo one system seems to manage everything that a domainer needs for business. Perhaps that's good; most tools focus on a core competency and do it rather well.

For me domaintools is #1 then WatchMyDomains is #2 then maybe estibot way down on the list.
If you are not using WatchMyDomains or Domain Punch Pro to manage and research domains, you should be. (I have no ties to the company)
Obviously domaintools is a vital tool for what it is I do but dnsaleprice is a for sure #2 on my list. How a tool such as estibot even made the list shows the quality of domainer that voted.
Any serious money needs to know sales history, dreamers and children love fantasy land numbers which is what estibot provides.
spot on there about estibot. i think it's designed for the end user and not the astute domainer who has a better idea of values. many of the "valuations" are so far out that you've got to wonder who owns it and why they are pricing some domains so outrageously.
actually, who DOES own/operate it and what are their connections?
i'd really like to know the answer to those! anyone?
I hear ya Andrew, I still think dnsaleprice allows you to go deeper though, play with comparables.
I think the issue is most still use estibot for its free appraisal tool, sadly.
You are correct though there are other tools they offer that are valued.
Without knocking Estibot, it's a novel concept. To their credit, they have expanded their service which is admirable and also very useful.
But automated appraisals, all of them, are bull. And detrimental to the market. Over and over again I have sold domains in the .biz, .us, and .info space at substantial fair-market prices and estibot grossly undervalued them consistently. The estibot algorithm rather arbitrarily sets a ratio of other tlds' value in comparison to .com, and I have proven, not just speculated, proven … that it fails to maintain validity and reliability in its value estimates. It's quite irritating to have one's assets misvaluated and ultimately misrepresented in the marketplace.
Estibot still hasn't updated itself to even account for the single letter .biz sales from well over a year ago. Think about that. "Comps" are the only computation variable available to them (albeit limited in significance), and they're not accounting for single letter sales.
If a company want to claim fame around their "appraisal technology", then they need to get serious about it. Far too many folks blindly support automated appraisals. At least estibot aren't charging for appraisal. Those that are should carry a clear disclaimer as to tthe validity of their results. So not really against estibot, just appraisals built on simplistic metrics.

The Evolution of Rihanna
Robyn Rihanna Fenty is not your average girl from the island next door. Having burst onto the music scene in 2005 with her Caribbean-flavored, sun-soaked, innocently-sweet hit "Pon de Replay," Rih Rih has since transformed herself into an R-rated, unapologetic, world-renowned pop diva. And she's done it so well. Read on to see what she done been through. Today (Feb. 20) is her birthday, after all. Bless up.

With almost everything in life, you will usually be better and more knowledgeable about something if you do some research and/or practice. For example, if I headed out the door this muggy morning with my rainbow colored Asics laced up tight and tried to run a marathon, I would likely die…or at least would want to die and pass out from exhaustion at some point along the way. However, if I did some research on training techniques and spent months slowly building up my running stamina, I could (maybe) get there. Even if I never hit the 26.2 mile mark, I could certainly improve my distance and pace.
Learning how to effectively earn and use miles and points is pretty much the same. You can start from 0 and go running full force into earning and trying to book the trip of your dreams (almost) for free using miles and points, but it may not work as well, or as efficiently, as if you do some research on the front end, and build slowly and steadily toward your travel goal. Though I promise earning and using miles and points isn't as hard as running a marathon looks!
While on a family trip last week I chatted with a woman who was working on a story for the New York Times about some of the recent hits that have come to airline frequent flyer programs, such as the announcements United and Delta are heading toward revenue based mileage earning models in 2015. This means you will earn frequent flyer miles based on how much your flight costs, not how far you fly. For most leisure travelers, as well as many in the miles and points world, this is not a good thing for our mileage accounts. If you fly on more expensive fares, often using "other people's money" for business travel, the new system may actually help you, but that isn't the reality for most of us.
We talked about how elite status is still tied to distance flown even with those airlines, though revenue thresholds also come into play even with elite status. We talked about utilizing partner airlines to sometimes earn more miles, and booking through those partners to make your miles go further. In the end we talked about how it is all pretty complex. Of course you can keep things simple and stick with an airline like Southwest where you earn points based on how much you spend, and then redeem them at a fixed value based on on how much the ticket you want costs. However, if you want to really take advantage of all miles and points has to offer the way my family has, you will do much better if you put some thought into your goals and approach. I told the reporter I thought doing an hour or so of research on the front end should be sufficient to start you in the right direction, and that's the part that was used in the story.
What isn't in the story is what to research in that hour, so I'll expand on that here. You won't be an mileage expert after an hour, but you will have a great deal more knowledge than if you just earned miles and points here and there without a plan. Earning without a plan is a recipe for waste and frustration. Here are five things to do and think about when starting out with miles and points.
Think about where you want to go with your miles and points:
Your miles can take you around the world, but to start out most effectively think of one or two specific trips you want to take using your miles. If you want to fly your family in economy to Orlando your earning mileage plan will likely look differently than if you want to fly in business class to Europe. Once you know where you want to go, do a little research both on what miles and points you already have, as well as which airlines fly where you want to go. There are many ways to research that, but Wikipedia is actually very helpful. For example, if you wanted to learn about which airlines fly which routes into Vienna, you could see that info displayed in Wikipedia.
View some award charts:
Now that you know where you want to go, how many miles you already have in your accounts, and a rough idea of what airlines can take you there, it is time to see how many miles you need to book your desired award. You can do this by searching for something like "American Airlines Award Chart" on google or cruising around your airline's website, or you can just check out a handy list of airline award charts that Million Mile Secrets has complied. While you are there, you might as well take a peek at who some of the partners are for your airline of choice, as they can be very helpful in reaching your travel goal. Don't stress about the amount of info you may encounter, just look at it for a few minutes, and then bookmark that site to revisit later.
Earn more miles:
Unless you are already swimming in airline miles or credit card reward points from years of racking them up without paying attention, you will likely need to earn some more miles for all of your dream travels. There are tons of ways to do this, but a popular way for those in the United States with good credit is to get a rewards earning credit card (or two) and use it not only for the often sizeable sign-up bonus, but also to start paying for everyday expenses such as gas, groceries, insurance bills, take-out, dry cleaning, and more. If you have a rough idea of what type and how many more miles you need for your first (almost) free trip, then it will be easier to know which rewards card would be a good fit for you.
Many beginners do well with a card that earns flexible points you can use in different ways. A popular and solid option for beginners and old pros alike is the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card that earns points you can transfer to a variety of hotel and airline partners such United, Hyatt, Marriott, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, IHG Rewards, Southwest, and more. Another good choice for many is the Barclaycard Arrival Plus™ World Elite MasterCard® since it earns 2x points on everything and those points are worth a fixed amount toward any travel charge. I have some basic info on lots of different rewards credit cards here.
I will also add that it only makes sense to shift your daily spending to a rewards credit card if you will pay it off each month and not spend more than you otherwise would with cash or a debit card. If you pay interest or rack up debt to earn miles, you are not coming out ahead.
Start following those in the know:
Don't waste time reinventing the miles and points wheel, because many have come before you and have lots of great information to share. Only you can determine your personal travel goals and assess your current situation, but once you have done that, others can help you along the way. I post pretty much daily tips, stories, and updates related to miles and points from a family perspective, here at mommypoints.com. There are many other blogs that also post daily updates from various points of view. You can head to boardingarea.com to view many of those blogs. I also highly recommend getting a Twitter account, even if only to follow along in real time with travel deals. You can find me there @mommy_points and I would also immediately follow @theflightdeal and @airfarewatchdog as they both share great airfare deals! When you find a blog you like, also follow their twitter handle, as they will often not only tweet their new posts, but also share or re-tweet other limited time travel related info.
Many sites, like this one, also have a Beginner's Guide that will give you some specific action steps to get started. The miles and points forums Milepoint and Flyertalk are also treasure troves of information, though they can be a bit overwhelming at first.
Track what you have and set a routine:
The possibilities are endless with miles and points, but at first just set a routine that you are comfortable with and track your progress toward your (almost) free trip. I would use Award Wallet to track your miles and points account balances. I would also recommend coming up with how frequently you want to stay in the loop on miles and points updates. Many people spend a few minutes a day checking their favorite miles and points blogs, or Twitter feeds, or forums. Before I started blogging myself over three years ago that is exactly what I did to help my family rack up miles! I think 5-10 minutes a day is all you need to stay pretty informed on most of the current news and deals. If that is too much for you, I think even just checking in once a week would keep you in the loop on the major stuff. I would find 3-5 sites that you like and stick with those as most bloggers cover similar information, just from different points of view.
Tune out the information that isn't relevant to your goal trip or situation and stay focused on your goals…at least at first.
Once you get that first (almost) free ticket or hotel room booked, the adrenaline rush will likely have you coming back for more. The sky is literally the limit. The complexities that some frequent flyer programs have introduced can be a barrier, but it can also be an opportunity for those who put in a little bit of effort to discover new ways to earn and redeem miles for trips they may have never thought possible. I know that is exactly what my family does, and I'm happy to help you along the way.

I think you really hit the nail on the head here and the #1 thing you said is definitely #1.
Don't just pick up points just to pick them up. Know where you want to go and what you want to do, and make sure that you earn miles and points in the currencies that will make that happen
Another humble but confident and informative post Summer. I'm gonna direct inexperienced friends to this. IMHO Ben (lucky) and yourself are the king and queen of the Boarding area bloggers. nice job as ever. Andy Y
Something about the practicality of a "Mom" and their experiences make me respect you all very highly. Thanks for the post, tips and insight.
Great post. Most of my friends are probably still served best by grabbing a Southwest 50K card and calling it a day. But when I encounter the few who want to take it to the next level, I always direct them to your site. Posts like this are exactly why!
My friend directed me to your blog & I'm so inspired! My fiance & I are diving into this points thing & it's very overwhelming but, hey, you gotta start somewhere. Thanks for the very helpful tips!
I will be taking a trip with my boyfriend in 3 weeks to Washington D.C.! I got 7 nights of hotels and airfare for $70. Used all my free nights and used my Barclay Points for air travels costs. When checking in our bag, I will be using my Barclay card also so that will be free. I also booked two "2-day" trolley passes free since I booked on my Barclay card.
I now have a Chase INK and my goal is to take myself, my sister and her daughter to Cancun or Cabo San Lucas next Spring for a spring break vacation for her! Any hints on what to sign up for to get more free points for hotel and airfare?
Thanks. -

Turns out that Target sold their credit portfolio to TD bank whch now holds the power to underwrite applications. Maybe this is the end of the $200 REDcard approval?
Actually, most Americans would be surprised to find out how much financial assets are owned by the Canadian banks. Ever since our government prohibited the mergers of some of the banks, they have been buying assets in other countries. Then in 2008 with the banking crisis happening, my jaw dropped when GWB actually courted the Canadian banks to buy troubled US banks! Fortunately they were much smarter than that and only bought some underperforming and undervalued assets then turned them into useful assets. Some of the CDN banks have nearly as much US assets as CDN now. This has all been done very quietly and without the flair of Warren Buffett buying out US banks ala "Too Big Too Fail".

On December 5th, 1933, Prohibition ended. It was 80 years ago today Congress passed an amendment repealing the 18th amendment, which prohibited the production and sale of alcohol. The best way we can think to celebrate, at least online, is to show you this collection of anti-alcohol posters from era.
On October 23, 1935, "Beer Baron of the Bronx" Dutch Shultz and his crew sat at the Palace Chophouse at 12 East Park Street in Newark, New Jersey, which Shultz used as his home base. Two hitmen working for Murder Inc. entered and opened fire, wounding Shultz and killing two of his bodyguards and an accountant. Shultz died the next day.

What a wonderful gift you have. I hope you don't mind if I share your poem with my husband who was a paperboy for 8 years in Massachusetts winters. You tell it so much better than he can. Thank you. |
Another good poem/tale, you pint such a good word-picture, Don |
Don, your poem brings back lots of memories; my son was a neighborhood paper boy in 1970 when he was 15. When, for whatever reason, a paper wasn't delivered, he was called at home, and usually, I ended up taking him to deliver one! Until I remembered that he had been a paper boy, I usually associated them with the WW2 years. Today, our morning paper is thrown out of a car window into our driveway. It is in a plastic bag, though. I wonder if many young men of today would be willing to deliver papers--especially in the cold and dark! If I'm doing an injustice to anyone's grandson, I apologize. |
Don, well done. Your Pisces is showing. Nicley captured and conveyed. Delicious imagery. It's not the sons I wonder about m! I'm sure my son would do it (and many other kids) in a heartbeat. It's him being alone and riding so early by himself that worries me; such an easy target. Isn't that sad? I remember being so much younger than he and staying out until dark and never checked in. Didn't have a cell phone either. Sad world we live in. It's changed for the worse in some ways. |

I sure enjoyed your poem. You have a nice way to describe everyday life. Looking forward to more of your work. |
Rob, you're right! It's truly a different world that we live in, today. |
Thanks for the kudos, glad I could brighten your day. Three and a half years delivering the Des Moines Register till we moved to California in '64. One morning I looked at the window thermometer at one of the houses and it said -40 degrees. The yellow bag would get lighter with each delivery. The kids today should have the opportunity to do something that would give them a feeling of accomplishment and inclusion in society at least in a small way. Guess that is thinking that originates in small towns. Rob, you are right it is not as safe out there as it was then. Wish I still had the light blue Schwinn cruiser, double forks with springs, a horn in the tin between the brace bars and a light on the handle bars. This is when I was 13 and broke my leg jumping over a front porch step while collecting for the route. My brother Steve and our dog Skipper are the other two. My two older sisters did my route for me till the cast came off. One of them found a boy friend that delivered the route next to mine. They also broke my perfect record twice and had to take the papers to the ones they missed. |
The closest we get to community involvement here is, our community center gets cleaned by the kids right before baseball season. Loads of bending and lifting, raking and digging. The kiddos also tend to treat the park well all season long too, using the trashcans in the dugouts. I assume that's from having them clean it up makes them appreciate the way it looks and they want to keep it that way. The kids at church also help the elderly with their yardwark. That's 'bout it. I do wish he and I were physically involved with Habitat for Humanity stuff, but I bet they wouldn't let him considering the equipment and "danger" at a job site. When you remodel or build there are quite a few nails, glass, and wood pieces with which to hurt yourself, 'specially less coordinated hands and feet. Bless the baby's hearts. I know he'd love it :/ |
Looks like we're about the same age. I love your poem, and the photo too! |

Bio-domes consist of several concentrically nested domes that are infused with low pressure air to optimize the growth of naturally occurring bio-films. Bio-domes sit on the floor of a lagoon and are completely submerged.As water flows through bio-domes, bottom-to-top, beneficial bacteria effectively reduce biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and ammonia-nitrogen (NH3/NH4+) in waste water lagoons prior to discharge.
Bio-shells utilize the same underlying principles as the bio-domes. The bio-shells were developed as an alternative to bio-domes to be utilized in applications where space is limited and / or lagoon depths are too shallow to accommodate a bio-dome. The half pipe design of the bio-shells can be installed end-to-end, which allows for a more dense installation.

Title | |
Permit (per12942) for the control of tropical soda apple in various situations in NSW | 101.5 KB |
Contacts and Further Information
If you find this weed please help to prevent its further spread by contacting your local Council Weeds Officer or the nearest Department of Primary Industries office immediately for positive identification and further assistance.Alternatively call the NSW NSW Invasive Plants and Animals Enquiry Line on
1800 680 244 or send an email to email@example.com
Tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum)
World Status | Spread | Identification | Control | Legislation
Tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum), is an aggressive, prickly, perennial shrub 1–2 m high. It invades open to semi-shaded areas including pastures, forests, riparian zones, roadsides, recreational areas, horticulture and cropping areas. It reduces biodiversity by displacing native plants and disrupting ecological processes. Its foliage is unpalatable to livestock, thus reducing carrying capacities. Prickles on this plant restrict grazing by native animals and livestock and thickets can create a physical barrier for animals preventing access to shade and water. The plant is a host for many diseases and pests of cultivated crops, and it contains solasodine which is poisonous to humans.
It was first identified in Australia in the upper Macleay Valley in New South Wales (NSW) in August 2010, however it is believed to have been present in this area for a number of years. Subsequent surveys found infestations at Wingham, Grafton, Bellingen, Coffs Harbour, Bonalbo, Casino, Murwillumbah and Wauchope. The smaller infestations have been eradicated and the larger infestations are subject to active control programs. In 2011 infestations were discovered in the Namoi and Border Rivers-Gwydir catchments associated with the movement of cattle from infested coastal areas. Infestations were traced to properties near Tamworth, Attunga and Inverell and are currently the focus of an eradication campaign.
Tropical soda apple has the potential to spread in coastal regions of NSW and Queensland, and inland through cattle movements.
World Status
Tropical soda apple is a native of north eastern Argentina, south eastern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. It was first recorded in Florida in 1987 and was known to infest 10 000 ha by 1990 and half a million hectares by 1995. By 2007 it had spread to nine other south eastern states in the USA, where it is now a Federal Noxious Weed. Tropical soda apple has also naturalised in Africa, India, Nepal, West Indies, Honduras and Mexico and outside its native range in South America.
Tropical soda apple reproduces via seed and can regenerate from root material. In NSW cattle movement is currently the major vector of spread and infestations have been found by tracing cattle movements from infested areas using the National Livestock Identification Scheme. Seed can also be spread by feral animals and birds that feed on the fruit; and via water and contaminated produce, soil and equipment.
It is strongly recommended that stock from affected areas be held in a quarantine area for 6 days before being transported to other properties or to sale. Prevent stock from grazing and moving through infested areas and check cattle handling facilities, cattle camps and yards for seedlings and new infestations.
Tropical soda apple is an upright, branching, perennial shrub growing to 2 m in height. It has broad-based, straight, cream-coloured prickles to 12 mm long scattered on most plant parts.
Key identification features
- Leaves are mostly 10–20 cm long and 6–15 cm wide. The upper and lower leaf surfaces are densely covered in short hairs; mid-veins and primary lateral-veins are cream-coloured on both sides of the leaves.
- Flowers are white, with 5 petals 2–4 mm long. They occur in clusters of 3–6 off a short stem.
- Mature fruit are yellow and golf ball-size (2–3 cm in diameter). When immature they are pale green with dark green veins, like immature water melons. In the USA plants produce an average of 45 000 seeds.
Your local council weeds officer will assist with identification, control information, removal and eradication. Infestations can be spread by inappropriate control activities.
Individual plants can be manually removed, but care must be taken to remove all the root material, as plants will regrow from root fragments. Fruit should be collected and disposed of appropriately (deep burial or burnt). Particular care should be taken to remove plants in flood prone areas.

Watch out for and report any form of tropical soda apple
Tropical soda apple is a Class 1 State Prohibited Weed across NSW under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993. It must be eradicated and land must be kept free of the plant. As a notifiable weed, all outbreaks must be reported to the local council within 24 hours, and the plant is prohibited from sale in NSW.
If you have seen this plant please contact your local council weeds officer, the NSW Weeds Hotline 1800 680 244 or email email@example.com

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.

President Abdullah Gul says there are signs that the proposed NATO missile
defense shield system to be deployed in his country will be under Turkish
command. There are two key issues here. First, Turkey is on a post-NATO
path where it can't be seen as putting its foreign and defense policy in
the hands of others. Second, Turkey does not want complications with Iran
over this matter.
-A number of Palestinian officers affiliated to Fatah movement living in
the Egyptian town of El-Arish clashed with Egyptian citizens from the
Al-Fawakhriyeh tribe in a northern Sinai brawl Thursday night.
-A high level Egyptian security source denied Thursday Israeli reports
that there is a joint Israeli-Egyptian effort to eliminate leaders of the
al-Qaida-affiliated Army of Islam in Gaza and Sinai.
All things being equal Iran and India have pretty good relations,
especially on the issue of Afghanistan where they have a common interest
in backing anti-Taliban forces. Tehran also needs New Delhi on the energy
front at a time when western firms are increasingly halting their work in
the Islamic republic. But a statement from the SL on the occasion of Eid
al-Adha in support of Kashmiri Muslims has pissed off the Indians. For the
Iranians, they can't not talk about Kashmir, given their position as the
vanguard of Muslims, particularly when Kashmiri Muslims include lots of
Shia. But they also can't afford to annoy India either. Seems like the
Iranians are using the Kashmir issue to get the Indians more closer to
them. They could agree on not making a big deal of it provided India
doesn't come under a whole lot of U.S. pressure.
The lower house Tajik Speaker, Shukurjon Zuhurov, left for Iran today at
the invitation of Iran's Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani. He and his
delegation will meet with Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki. Iran
considers Tajikistan its purview and the governments therefore continue to
hold high-level meetings.
The United States is sending battle tanks to Afghanistan next month for
the first time in the war to combat Taliban-led insurgents. A company of
14 M1A1 Abrams tanks and about 115 Marines is set to deploy in the
southwestern province Helmand province. The 68-ton tanks is expected to
provide Afghan and U.S.-led forces more firepower and manoeuverability
while helping limit civilian casualties. The hope is that the Abrams'
optics will also help in finding Taliban strong points and disrupting
night-time placement of homemade bombs. Thus far tanks have not been
deployed because of the mountainous terrain, as well as the patchwork of
small farmland enclosed by irrigation ditches and mud walls in the south
but the wider expanse of desert west of Helmand is seen as more suitable
for tanks. The move is significant for a number of reasons. First, it
shows that contrary to ISAF claims NATO is having a hard time dislodging
the insurgents. Second, the involvement of tanks could actually increase
the likelihood of civie casualties. Third, and at the very least it will
further fuel the war as the insurgents will be able to exploit the move
for propaganda purposes.
-Gaza militants fired at a long-range Grad rocket into the western Negev
early Friday, Army Radio reported, following a night-long barrage of
Qassam rockets fired from the coastal enclave
1) We have an unusual development in that rockets have been fired from the
Gaza Strip and claimed by a group called the Popular Resistance Committees
(PRC) - a front group for Hamas. The PRC said that the rocket fire was in
retaliation for a recent Israeli airstrike that killed a couple of guys
affiliated with an aQish jihadist outfit in the territory. It is strange
that a pro-Hamas group would be hitting Israel in support of a group that
threatens Hamas' hegemony in the Gaza Strip and at the very least is an
ideological opponent. Why risk a flare-up with Israel over these guys and
be accused of being sympathetic to aQ, which Hamas is enemies with and
goes out of the way to telegraph the enmity.
2) We know from yesterday that Netanyahu's Cabinet members are aligning
against any moves to freeze settlement activity. Today there are reports
that U.S. and Israel are having problems reaching an agreement on the
issue, which is understandable given that Netanyahu doesn't want problems
on the home front. In a related move, there is a report that the United
States is moving to bar Palestinian efforts to declare statehood in the
United Nations.
-Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told Asharq Al-Awsat from Amman prior
to departing for Cairo where he is scheduled to meet with Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak that "we reject linking the [military] fighter jet
deal to a settlement freeze in any form, this [deal] has nothing to do
with us, and we have nothing to do with this issuea*|this is our position
and it will not change."
-US reportedly blocked a proposal backed by as many as 50 nations to give
PNA the rights of a member state.
-There is a need for an urgent meeting between Prime Minister Saad Hariri
and Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Development and
Liberation bloc MP Qassem Hashem said in an interview published on Friday.
-Deputy Imad Hout expressed on Friday to "Sharq" radio his optimism over
Saudi-Syrian umbrella that is still prevailing on the internal Lebanese
since it provides the minimum of stability, adding that the anticipated
Saudi-Syrian initiative could lead to an exit from the current crisis.
-U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams said he expects
indictments in the murder case of ex-PM Rafik Hariri to be issued "in the
coming months.""I do not know if this will happen next week, or next year
because this is up to the Court President and Prosecutor," Williams said
in remarks published Friday by As-Safir newspaper.
-The People's Assembly will hold its 12th session headed by Speaker
Mahmoud al-Abrash on Sunday.
-nothing new
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday called for the involvement of
Russia in a NATO-wide missile shield, hours before travelling to Lisbon
for an upcoming NATO summit. The comments came as news emerged that France
and Germany had settled their differences over the role of nuclear
deterrents, if a proposed NATO missile defence shield goes ahead. A joint
Russia-NATO missile shield may be created in mid-term perspective,
according to Kremlin aide Sergei Prikhodko.
Russian presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich has criticized Finance
Minister Alexei Kudrin over his plans for ways to tackle the budget
deficit. Kudrin believes the budget deficit should be reduced by means of
a tax rise, but Dvorkovich said the budget deficit can be reduced through
the development of economic activity and liberating business from tax,
bureaucratic and corruption hindrances. Also, according to eral director
of the Russian Technologies state corporation Sergei Chemezov, some of
Russia's strategic defense companies may be privatized in the future - Any
thoughts on these issues Lauren?
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is due to attend a meeting of the
Council of CIS Prime Ministers, of the Inter-State Eurasian Economic
Community Council and of the Customs Uniona**s top body in St. Petersburg
today. During the Inter-State Council meeting the Prime Ministers are due
to approve moves to carry out priority development projects of the
Eurasian Economic Community in 2011 through 2013 and subsequent years -
also today the Inter-State EurAsEc Council will meet as the Top Agency of
the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Will keep an eye on
The Ukrainian side has denied Russia's oil pipeline operator Transneft the
right to be present, as an observer, at the start of the trial operation
of the Odessa-Brody pipeline. A Transneft spokesman said that because
Ukraine in effect denied them presence, they take all the risks associated
with the trial run on themselves," Demin added, as quoted by Interfax. The
trial run of the Odessa-Brody oil pipeline in the original direction will
start on Nov 22, contrary to the earlier plans to carry it out over the
weekend on Nov 20-21.
The United States is to start shipping non-military cargo to Afghanistan
via Lithuania, officials said on Friday, adding to the Baltic ports being
used for such cargos.
The U.S. goods will start flowing to Afghanistan via Lithuania's Klaipeda
port next month, which will be used as part of what the United States
calls the Northern Distribution Network, which takes cargo to Afghanistan
across Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan as well as across the Caspian Sea
from Georgia and Azerbaijan. This is interesting for many reasons,
including increased cooperation between US and the Balts, and that this is
the same port through which Venezuela has shipped oil to Belarus.

The Moldovan Agency for Payments and Intervention in Agriculture (AIPA)
signed a cooperation agreement with branch agency of Romania. According to
him, Moldovan agriculture sector workers who intend to create their own
business will have the possibility to go to Romania for free studying of
successful business conduction rules. The World Bank and the U.S. Agency
for International Development (USAID) will provide Moldova with 0.5
million euros for financing agriculture workers who will want to open own
business without having enough means for that - interesting to see US
getting more involved in "soft power" projects.
Kyrgyzneftegaz employees protested against a contract with a Chinese
company selling equipment to Kyrgyzstan yesterday which, they claim, was
overpriced. The Supreme Court will hear the case as a result. The FSU
team is watching for any updates on these protests.
Turkmenistan is currently preparing infrastructure necessary to send 40bn
cu.m. of gas to Europe, according to Turkmenistan's deputy prime minister
Baymyrat Hojamuhammedow. He said that Turkmenistan is very much
considering projects like the Trans-Caspian gas pipeline, Nabucco, and the
East-West gas pipeline. Hojamuhamedov said Turkmenistan's president had
proposed at the Caspian summit in Baku on Thursday that any two of the
five countries on the Caspian should be able to agree on laying a pipeline
under the sea, and that "the majority" of the Caspian countries had agreed
to this proposal - but I bet Russia was not one of those countries.

Political situation in Italy is calming down. Fini and his allies are
showing their ability to work with Berlusconi, plus they understand the
dangers of creating a political crisis
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made a point to say that Germany wants
to see Russians involved in the NATO BMD. Nothing new here, we have been
saying that Berlin wants this for a long time. But this is the first time
I have seen Merkel actually comment on it. By the way, Lavrov and
Westerwelle will talk Russo-German cooperation on Nov. 21, right after the
IMF head Strauss-Kahn -- and potential Presidential candidate in France
next year -- called on the EU member states to cede more sovereignty to
the EU. In a speech in Frankfurt addressing the sovereign debt crisis
engulfing Europe once again, he said: a**The wheels of co-operation move
too slowly. The centre must seize the initiative in all areas key to
reaching the common destiny of the union, especially in financial,
economic and social policy. Countries must be willing to cede more
authority to the centre.a**

Richard L. Cravatts, (B.A. '72, M.A. '73) recently published "Genocidal Liberalism: The University's Jihad Against Israel & Jews", published by the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Cravett's book, available at Amazon.com, which explores the growing phenomenon of Israel-hatred and covert anti-Semitism on college campuses.
Fomented by extreme Left-wing institutes, funded by Saudi dollars, and led by professors with a barely-hidden intolerance for even the continued existence of the Jewish state, the new anti-Semitism-parading as anti-Zionism-poses dangerous threats to Israel and those who recognize the viability of this Western-style democracy in the Middle East.
Tracing the birth of this new strain of virulent anti-Israelism to the Left's obsession with "Palestinianism," this book also reveals how a destructive "unholy alliance" has been formed between those liberals who seek social justice for the Palestinians, and Islamists, who now find the Left as an ally against a common enemy: Israel.
Dr. Cravatts, Professor of Practice and Director of the Communications Management Program in the School of Management of Simmons College in Boston, has also been elected President of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, the third in the organization's history.

Warhawks take part in Sun Belt Media Day
With the start of the 2012 ULM football season set to kickoff on Sept. 8, Warhawk head coach Todd Berry and senior WR Brent Leonard talked with members of the media at the Sun Belt Conference's media day held July 16 at the New Orleans Marriott.
Warhawk Head Coach Todd Berry shared these observations:
On last season's narrow losses and outlook for 2012
Obviously you have to take a look at three games in particular from last season. Those were very close games and if they go our way it totally changes our season. I am excited about our team this season as we have the same group of starters that we have had the previous two seasons. We had several key injuries last season and that impacted us significantly, but those guys are back and they are healthy so that excites the coaching staff. We also have a more mature group, so you would like to think with a healthy and mature bunch we will be able to do better than last season.
On entering third season at ULM
I really like the chemistry of the team we have this season. The best thing about this team is the culture we have. The players have grown up together and when you have a culture like the one we have, it allows you work through adversity similar to what we encountered last season. The team could have chosen to take a step back or a step forward and I feel that this team has taken a step forward.
On improving the offense from last season to this season
That's easy to answer, health is the key. Our quarterback played with a broken sternum, two running backs get injured, two receivers go down and we lose our starting tight end, all of that really takes its toll. You can't dwell on that during a season; you have to make adjustments during the season as that is the nature of the game. The players that got hurt last year are back at full strength. We have also recruited well so I am excited about our offense in 2012.
On defensive players to watch in 2012
Cameron Blakes is a key guy for us; he is a four-year starting linebacker and NFL scouts are taking note of him. He didn't have the same numbers as he did in previous years as teams ran away from him last year. We don't shift our linebacker core, so as I mentioned, teams simply ran in a different direction. Two newcomers for us that I think will have strong seasons are a pair of transfers in Austin Moss [linebacker] and Gerrand Johnson [nose guard].
From Warhawk senior Wide Receiver Brent Leonard:
On team expectations for this year
Like everyone, we want to win all of our home games and we also want to win the conference and go to the first bowl game in program history.
On the team's improvements in the off-season
The entire team has been working extremely hard during the off-season and that [the team's work ethic] is one thing that I have really grown to love about our squad. Any time we have extra time we will go out on our own and play 7-on-7 games just trying to get more repetitions in an effort to get better.
Sheets notches win as Braves down Mets, 6-1
Former ULM Warhawk pitcher Ben Sheets, who made his first MLB start in nearly two years, didn't disappoint as he tossed six strong innings Sunday in the Braves' 6-1 victory over the New York Mets at Turner Field in Atlanta.
Sheets (1-0) surrendered just two hits and one walk while striking out five in his 2012 debut. After allowing just one base runner in the first two innings, Sheets ran into trouble in the third as the Mets had runners on second and third. The right-hander kept the Mets off of the scoreboard as he forced David Wright to fly out to right field.
After back-to-back perfect innings in the fourth and fifth, Sheets got plenty of run support as Atlanta scored six runs off of New York starter, Johan Santana. Michael Bourn started the big inning for Braves with a RBI double left and Freddie Freeman capped the inning with a three-run homer to right to give the Braves a 6-0 lead after five complete.
In the sixth, Sheets notched his fourth perfect inning of the contest and was pinch-hit for in the home half of the inning.
The Braves used three pitchers to close out the contest and the Braves' bullpen surrendered just one run on four hits with one walk and one strikeout. Santana took the loss for the Mets and dips to 6-6 on the season.

A two-time All-American, Saulters also ranks in the top five in school history in scoring average (23.5 ppg) and free-throw percentage (.826). He earned Gulf State Conference Player of the Year honors in both the 1966-67 and 1967-68 seasons.
Following his ULM career, Saulters helped the U.S. National Team to the gold medal at the 1968 Olympic Games. He also played one season with the New Orleans Buccaneers of the ABA.
Nine Warhawks Named to All-Louisiana Track & Field Team

I've also used my everyday flatware (from Christmas last yr), chocolate brown napkins tucked under the plate: And here's a full view the length of the table: Hope you've enjoyed some "cake 'n coffee" & some fresh fruit at my Fall t'scape!

The Sequim Lavender Farm festival transforms scenic Carrie Blake Park into a fragrant oasis celebrating the bounty of Sequim-Dungeness Valley's lavender harvests. After arriving at the festival via bus and ferry, herb aficionados can peruse more than 150 booths bursting with lavender-laden goods produced by members of the Sequim Lavender Farmers Association, as well artisanal crafts, international foodstuffs, and wine gardens. Carrie Blake Park also serves as a launch pad for bus tours that wind their way through seven regional lavender farms, encompassing 50 acres and 100,000 soil-bound lavender plants. Fair-goers can frolic through each farm's visually unique fields, picking their own lavender to fill vases or grace boutonnières for lonely scarecrows. Workshops, demonstrations, crafts, and live music also pepper plots, rendering each farm a festival unto itself.

A lavish luxury cabin at the Quileute Oceanside Resort nestles weary wanderers in a TV- and telephone-free escape from invasive workday hustles, bustles, or zebra mussels. Set within the sprawling Olympic National Park, each cabin boasts standard amenities including jacuzzi-style bathtubs, kitchens, and propane fireplaces, as well as sweeping views of the Pacific. Each room of the tribally owned resort is bedecked with tasteful Native American décor, featuring ornately carved furniture and artwork celebrating the 1,000-year-old Quileute tribe. The resort is also located near Forks, the setting of the popular Twilight series and a suite of dinette-themed attractions. Other lures include fresh seafood at the nearby Quileute Marina or lush, natural attractions such as the Hoh Rainforest and Sol Duc Hot Springs.
Years ago, Olympic Game Farm was a home for actors. The bears, cougars, and big cats who lived on the premises were all movie stars?most often for Disney Studios, which worked with and filmed the farm's animals for 28 years. The farm's founder, Lloyd Beebe, served as the go-to trainer, and his bond with the wildlife was reputedly amazing. During those early years, he even managed to tame five wolverines, who would eat raw egg out of his hands.
Today, Lloyd's grandson Robert runs the farm. For the most part, the animals are no longer film celebrities?although footage of the famous waving bears has gone viral and even appeared in a Carrie Underwood video, and some animal actors from elsewhere still retire to the farm. The majority are descendants of the original film animals, or rescues. Visitors can drive through the park to see zebras, elk, wolves, and lions, then head to the petting farm for an up-close encounter. They can even feed many of the animals?whole-grain bread is an accepted treat.
Olympic Tactical Instruction's staff counts more than a dozen strong. These professionals include both current and former law-enforcement officers, Special Forces members, and executive protection agents. Take instructor and investigator Orrin Knutson, for example, who served as a military police officer in the US Army for six years.
Greg Glassock may have left law enforcement, but he was hardly finished with his mission to protect and serve. Mr. Glassock saw a need for qualified trainers in the security and law-enforcement industry, as well as investigation and protection services. So he founded Olympic Tactical Instruction. The business has three faces: private investigation, protection services, and instruction. For the latter, the staff teaches self-defense and firearms.
