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.

happens after a fuck up is that everyone goes into CYA mode. But this has
side effects, namely the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome.
I also like number 2. (am giving it my 0.5 votes) Talked to Zhixing and
apparently the Chinese guys got into haiti only 10 hours after the US and
US is RIGHT THERE. This gives China a great PR tool. It shows they care,
particularly that they care about poor black nations... think where they
want to invest. Isn't this a good example to roll out?
As for the other suggestions, they may be something to look into later.

Subject: DIARY VOTE AND VOLUNTEER TIME
Lots of options today. Make sure to mention if you can volunteer to write.
1) The leaks of information on a possible follow-on AQ plan to attack
inside America demonstrates some of the problems in threat warning and
awareness. Is is just CYA? based on actionable intelligence? does the
backwards way of releasing the information suggest more the former than
the latter? Does the method of information release have an impact on
2) in less than 24 hours after the earthquake in Haiti, China had a plane
load of rapid response emergency rescue workers on the ground. This is by
far the fastest overseas humanitarian response Beijing has conducted, and
reflects the changing capabilities of China in overseas operations. It
also demonstrates the ways China has evolved in thinking about how it acts
internationally from a political perspective. This is particularly notable
as Haiti has diplomatic relations with Taiwan, not with China.
3) The Google issue saw lots of jabber today. China defended its internet
policies and said it opposed hacking. The State Dept distanced itself from
the issue, saying it is part of overall trade issues that are natural, and
won't hurt relations. Yahoo and a US law firm working for a Santa Barbara
internet company claimed they were victims of the cyber attacks.
4) The Chinese are allegedly sending a lower-level figure to the next
round of P5+1 talks than their counterparts, and are delaying the issue so
they don't have to deal with it as head of UNSC for the month. The Chinese
have acted very odd in relation to the talks, clearly signaling that they
oppose the US shift from negotiations to sanctions. They want interminable
negotiations. This is a continuing trend, but we should watch how
prominent of a role China is willing to play to assist in the disruption
of the pressure tactics on Iran.
5) Venezuela's electricity crisis had a few new developments today,
including Chavez's decision to suspend rolling blackouts in Caracas and
the release of a report that was presented to the government in December
from CORPOELEC that demonstrates that at the current rates of use and
drought, the crisis will reach its nadir in 4 months. Something to keep on
watching. This could well be the break point we've been waiting for with
6) The Shiite-dominated government is trying to bar 500 Sunnis with
alleged Baathist links from participating in the elections, with elections
only a couple months away. Baaad sign for stability in Baghdad. If the
Sunnis get cut out of the equation again in a significant way, the
insurgency will live on and AQ will find pools of support to resurge.
7) PAKISTAN: In Pakistan the Constitutional Reform Committee has
transfered the authority to appoint service chiefs from the president to
the prime minister. This is a significant reduction in the President's
authority, and Kamran mentioned that this could involve the army using
civilian institutions to not go the way of the military in Turkey. Part
of a major power struggle in Pakistan.
8) The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) has barred 500
a**names and political entitiesa** from the list of candidates, citing the
law of the Committee of Justice and Integrity. Though not explicitly
mentioned by the committee spokesmen, the law bars Sadaam loyalists and
former Baathists from taking part in the elections. As the United States
reduces the number of troops and its role in accordance with the Status of
Forces Agreement, its influence as an honest broker (with a big stick)
among the Shia, Sunni, and Kurds will be diminished. There is a question
of whether the Maliki and Shia-dominated government will offer the
minority Sunni a place in the new government in the absence of their
American arbitrator.
9) Trichet (ECB Pres) said that the ECB will not bend the collateral rules
for anyone. This is troubling for Greece since it means that they wont be
able to use ther government bonds as collateral to draw money if shit hits
the fan. This is not just about Greece. It is about the EU telling its
peripheral countries (Portugal, Spain and Greece) that they better not
fuck around.
10) JORDAN: Another opportunity to talk about Jordan's role in it all (by
"in it all" we mean general mayhem) after the attack on the Israeli

Largest-Ever Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial Opens: 32,000 Men Sought to Test Vitamin E and Selenium
- Posted: July 24, 2001
Healthy men age 55 and older are needed for the largest-ever prostate cancer prevention study, launched today by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and a network of researchers known as the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG). The Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial, or SELECT, will determine if these two dietary supplements can protect against prostate cancer, the most common form of cancer, after skin cancer, in men. The study will include a total of 32,400 men.
More than 400 sites in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada are recruiting participants for SELECT, which will take up to 12 years to complete. SELECT is the first study designed to look specifically at the effects of vitamin E and selenium, both separately and together, in preventing prostate cancer.
"We are looking for quite a few good men to join SELECT because it is an incredibly important prostate cancer prevention study," said Charles A. Coltman, Jr., M.D., chairman of SWOG and director of the San Antonio Cancer Institute in Texas. "Previous research with vitamin E and selenium—in studies focused on other kinds of cancer—suggested that these nutrients might prevent prostate cancer. SELECT is focused on prostate cancer and, when the study is finished, we will know for sure whether these supplements can prevent the disease."
During this year alone, prostate cancer will be diagnosed in about 198,100 Americans and more than 31,500 men are expected to die of the disease. Risk factors for the disease include being over age 55, being black, or having a father or brother with prostate cancer.
"It is crucial that men of all races and ethnic backgrounds participate in SELECT," said Leslie Ford, M.D., associate director for clinical research in NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention. "And since African-American men have the highest incidence of prostate cancer in the world, we especially encourage them to consider joining this trial." The disease also strikes black men at a younger age, so they will be eligible to enroll in the study at age 50, vs. age 55 for other racial and ethnic groups. There is no upper age limit for participation in SELECT.
"The men who join SELECT not only have a chance to prevent prostate cancer for themselves, but they also may help their sons and grandsons live free from the disease," said Ford.
Selenium and vitamin E, both naturally occurring nutrients, are antioxidants. They are capable of neutralizing toxins known as "free radicals" that might otherwise damage the genetic material of cells and possibly lead to cancer. These nutrients were chosen for study because of the results of two other large cancer prevention trials.
In a study of selenium to prevent nonmelanoma skin cancer in 1,000 men and women, reported in 1996*, investigators found that while the supplement did not reduce skin cancer, it did decrease the incidence of prostate cancer in men by more than 60 percent.
Another trial, published in 1998**, in which beta carotene and vitamin E were tested to prevent lung cancer in 29,000 Finnish men who smoked, those who took vitamin E had 32 percent less prostate cancer. Neither beta carotene nor vitamin E prevented lung cancer. In fact, the men who smoked and took beta carotene were more apt to get lung cancer and die from it than men who didn't take this supplement.
"SELECT is the critical next step for pursuing the promising leads we saw for the prevention of prostate cancer," said Ford, who is responsible for all aspects of NCI's involvement in SELECT. "The only way to determine the real value of these supplements for prostate cancer is to do a large clinical trial focused specifically on this disease." Study investigators hope to recruit all the study participants during the first five years of the trial, so that each man can be followed for at least seven years.
Men in the study will visit their study site once every six months. Upon enrollment, they will be assigned by chance to one of four groups. One group will take 200 micrograms of selenium daily plus an inactive capsule, or placebo, that looks like vitamin E. Another group will take 400 milligrams of vitamin E daily along with a placebo that looks like selenium. A third group will take both selenium and vitamin E. And a final group will be given two placebos.
Men who join SELECT will not need to change their diet in any way, but they must stop taking any supplements they buy themselves that contain selenium or vitamin E. If participants wish to take a multivitamin, SWOG will provide, without charge, a specially formulated one that does not contain selenium or vitamin E.
Men may be able to participate in SELECT if they:
- are age 55 or older; age 50 or older for black men
- have never had prostate cancer and have not had any other cancer, except nonmelanoma skin cancer, in the last five years
- are generally in good health

"We transformed the menu card into an invitation insert and added the bridal party, flower girls, and reception information. It turned out better than we expected. We chose this in purple, along with the invitation and response card."
"We love this design! We decided to have our church programs and dinner menus match and they both look so lovely. A very pretty and classy product. The paper quality is also really nice and durable - something that people can definitely take home as a keepsake."
"I order this exact design for my wedding invitation/response card/enclosure card and thought that the menu would be a perfect addition. It added a burst of color to the table and complimented my centerpieces very well. Please be mindful that the 'fushia' color appears as more of a 'violet' color when printed. It is best to order samples to ensure that the color is goes with your wedding colors/theme. The paper quality is excellent and the watercolor images are stunning."
"We ordered these menu cards as the final touch to our receoption decor. They matched our invitations, place cards etc.... We framed them and put one on each table. It was the perfect detail to tie in the wedding stationary suite, decorations, and overall look to our wedding."
"Excellent quality. I personalized the menu by inserting 5 courses instead of 3. The staff was of great assistance! Everyone who received the menus loved them!"

We have been building an IT foundation for care management and population health for several years at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. This groundwork has proven essential, particularly since our physician organization was named one of Medicare's Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
Based on our experience, I recommend five priorities for providers that aim to take on population risks.
Universal adoption of EHRs. Every clinician in an ACO needs to record data electronically, ideally using the same electronic health record (EHR) vendor. If clinicians cannot access the same EHR, then they need to use common pick lists and vocabularies, which enables data to be comparable across practices.
At Beth Israel Deaconess, we created a model office workflow to ensure data is recorded by individuals with the same roles during the same processes using the same value sets. For example, every physician records blood pressure and medication names in the same place in the same format so that the data can be easily aggregated for quality, safety, and efficiency analysis.
Health information exchange. Data needs to be shared among caregivers for care coordination and panel management. Approaches can include viewing data in remote locations, pushing summaries between providers, or pulling summaries from multiple sites of care.
We have created novel approaches to secure data sharing, and we participate in many federal and state heath information exchange pilots. Summaries are now sent electronically for all transitions of care among providers, hospitals, and payers.
Business intelligence/analytics. Once data is collected and shared, it needs to be analyzed—retrospectively to identify gaps in care and prospectively to ensure patients receive the right care at the right time.
Beth Israel Deaconness worked with the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative to create a communitywide quality data center. This is used for all accountable care, meaningful use, and risk-contract quality reporting. We also piloted popHealth, which is sponsored by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT. An open-source, automated quality measurement system, popHealth allows providers to aggregate data from EHRs to generate clinical quality reports.
Universal availability of PHRs. By providing a platform for information exchange between patients and clinicians, personal health records (PHRs) help engage patients and families in their care, ensure the communication of care plans, and achieve seamless handoffs.
We have offered comprehensive PHRs to all of our patients since 1999. Patients can view their records, including their labs and medications. Patients can also schedule appointments, refill medications, and send secure messages to their providers. It works just as well on iPhones as it does on iPads and desktops.
Decision support services. Care management requires alerts, reminders, pathways, and guidelines. Ideally, all members of the care team will receive decision support inside their electronic record based on enterprise rule sets.
At Beth Israel Deaconness, we've used the concept of decision support service providers to turn data into knowledge and wisdom inside our EHRs and web applications. If all providers access the same evidence, we can standardize care throughout all our locations, reducing cost and improving quality.
Of these five tactics, the biggest challenge is defining the care management rules. In other words, what conditions, wellness measures, home care interventions, best practices, and evidence should be incorporated into the point of care and analytic systems?
Beth Israel Deaconess has hired a new senior vice president of care management to help answer these questions. He started in early May. It's a good start.

These video lessons start covering the basic functionalities first and then move towards to complex features of an iPad in a step by step way. Therefore anyone from any background will be able to understand without any trouble. According to http://myvideotrainings.com/ , some of the issues resolved from these videos are 'how to configure mail on your iPad, the basics of syncing your iPad with iTunes, how to effectively manage content on your iPad and simple tips to enhancing battery life' and many more. http://myvideotrainings.com/ claims that an advantage of iPad video lessons over the rest is, unlike other lengthy video tutorials, each of these are less than 7 minutes long, so people can watch this without affecting their busy schedules and without getting bored.
The website also provides expert iPad tips to the users on how to maintain and protect their device. As quoted from http://ipad-videolessons.info/expert-ipad-tips-caring-for-your-ipad/ , by using a proper case cover and a screen protector, users can protect their iPad which will ultimately help the owner to minimize the cost to repair it.

I recently cradshed my pc and didn,t have my designs backed up (lesson learned) my question is there any way to get the designs that I had already on my memory card back into the computer so I can reuse my memory card without losing my designs. Thanks for any help. |

I have the Brother SE- 270D and the ped-basic i need to know the easiest and least expensive to do my own designs and where to find these products |

Can't you copy from the memory card just as if it was a removable device? I totally know your lost as my computer crashed with 2 1/2 years of designs and no, I didn't have them backed up...lesson learned! |
no my pc doesn,t reconize the ped basic card as a removeable storage. I would think it should. I have searched and replaced most of the free designs I lost but the ones on my card are ones I bought on ebay and not so easy to find the same ones again. 2 1/2 years of designs lost wow! at least I only had a few weeks worth! |
I just got PED-Basic download new driver, installed CD updated driver, now I can't get the writer to acknowledge the memory card. Please advice? |

Faithful Assistant passed me a cellphone. "It's for you…it's a woman."
My stomach knotted. Women calling a bookie's office? Bad news. I don't have any female customers, but they're usually a headache: most of the time they're not betting for themselves, but for some sharp guy who wants to stay anonymous. If they're not customers, they're somebody's wife complaining that her husband blew Junior's college fund on the Mets and what was I going to do to make them whole? Read more »

Hi all.
I need a pair of muck boots with a steel shank/arch support. Can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions? I wear LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoes now, and they're perfectly what I want except for the flexible rubber sole. I need that same rubber bottom/leather upper, same nearly non-existent tread to keep from collecting garden mud, but I can't bear the lack of support any more. Yes, I am becoming my gramma. All the boots out there either have too much tread or too little support, plus they're made to be worn in the arctic, not in the hot summer sun. Halp! -- Zinnia |

West Branch Aqua Stealth Wading Boots, Women's Check out llbean on the above. Don't know much about boots. Don't wear them much in Fl. But these seem like they would be cooler and they say they have good arch support. llbean is a little rich for my blood, except my llbean addition Subaru Outback. But I think they would last a long time. Glenda |
Muck boot store. The riding style has little tread. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Muck Boots Online
You want steel, eh? Pffff...... too easy: They'll look PERFECT on JU! ;-) |
LOL! Thanks for the chuckle Semper! Sarah |

Those are lovely, Semper, but they would be Cleveland BROWN after a few minutes in my garden. Thanks all for the suggestions. I'll check them out. I think I have seen that muck boots store and the riding boots -- will give them another look. |
ZC, can you get support insoles to put in them? |
- Posted by zinniachick southwest Ohio (My Page) on Sun, Apr 13, 08 at 22:31
Yeah, I tried that. It seems that insoles that would provide enough support will cost as much as new boots, so I thought I'd shop around before having insoles made. Thanks, though. |
- Posted by zinniachick southwest Ohio (My Page) on Thu, Apr 17, 08 at 12:10
Hey Comettose -- I got the short riding boots -- the Brit Middie -- and I like 'em! They may be a little hot, but at this point I'll settle for that. They feel great. Thanks again for the tip. -- Zinnia |
Z-Chick - I like those. Unfortunately anything waterproof is going to be a bit hot in summer, but at least your feet won't be wet and you can rinse them off easily. |

text: It's been probably close to a year since the last journal entries so I figure I'll start a new one. I spent a lot of time during the last 7 or 8 month playing basketball which has thrown off my lifting. I played in a league on Tuesday nights which was a lot of fun. All that running around really got my stamina back up. I'm right around 185 which is roughly 7 lbs lighter than when I lived in Davenport. I would say I've lost a little body fat with all the added cardio. My strength is down a bit as a result, but I'm not too concerned. My back and chest have come along nicely but the running has trimmed my legs down. I'm really not sure what my goals are besides putting on some weight while keeping the body fat around 10%. That's about all for now.

Dueling assassination attempts and how they relate to Iran's nuclear plans
Office of the Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran via Getty Image
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (C) visits the Natanz uranium enrichment facilities April 8, 2008 200 miles (322 km) south of the Tehran, Iran.
Israeli diplomats have been targeted for assassination recently in multiple countries – India, Georgia and now Thailand – allegedly by Iranians. Thai authorities say three Iranian men tried to flee after bomb materials detonated by mistake in a home they were renting. The materials matched similar materials used in India and Georgia. Iran is denying any allegations that it had any involvement with the assassination plots, but Israel insists otherwise.
Meanwhile, the Mossad, the national intelligence agency of Israel, may be behind a rash of assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists.
Iran cut oil supplies to six European countries today in retaliation for an oil embargo: Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Portugal and the Netherlands.
Matthew Kroenig is a nuclear expert at the Council on Foreign Relations and professor at Georgetown University.

Figment Goes on Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge
Figment Goes on Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge
Figment stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge for the first time in March, 2013 and decided to go on the Wanyama Safari. The safari started with everyone (twelve people maximum) meeting at Jiko. There was a yellow-green lanyard with a Jiko logo on it and a blank name card at each place setting. As we waited for the others to arrive, Figment got to know his safari mates. Once everyone arrived, we were served a light afternoon tea before heading out. A rooibos tea (top) was served, along with two finger foods: one savory and one sweet. The savory snack was a piece of naan bread, topped with a slice of cucumber and some olive tapenade (middle top). The sweet snack was a biscuit with icing (middle bottom). After everyone finished their tea and snacks, it was time to meet Mel, our safari guide and head out to the truck. Before boarding, each group took a photopass picture with the truck. After the photo, we got on to our truck. The back of the truck had benches lining the sides and front. One guide stayed in the truck with us and the other drove (and unlocked/locked gates). The first stop was the Sunset Savanna between Kidani and Jambo House. Normally, we would have seen the giraffes at this point, but it was so cold out that they were already in their barn. Our guide told us that giraffes are not cold weather species, so whenever the temperature is expected to drop into the 50s, they are kept in their barn. The truck pulled up to the barn and we all got to go inside and see the four giraffes (three females and one male). In some ways, they seemed almost human they leaned over the railings of their stalls to look at us as we looked at them. We spent quite a bit of time with the giraffes, but no pictures were allowed because the barn is considered back stage. After seeing the giraffes, we got back onto the truck and headed to the rest of the Sunset Savanna. We met up with another keeper who was feeding the ostriches. The guide explained that ostriches are very curious birds and one of them demonstrated the fact by sticking his head into the drivers side window of the keepers truck! Along with the ostriches were the Marabou Storks (bottom). Ostrich Marabou Storks Out on the Sunset Savanna were a wide range of animals: Impalas, Roan Antelopes, Grévys Zebras, Wildebeests, and Anikole Cattle. It was hard to keep track of which was which! We learned that there are two different species of zebras at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The Grévys Zebras have stripes that do not go around their tummies. The wildebeests are the troublemakers of the savanna. Impala Roan Antelope Savanna Grévys Zebra Wildebeast Anikole Cattle Next time...the Arusha Savanna! |

Thanks everyone!
Continuing with Figment Goes on Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge... The truck slowly drove around the Sunset Savanna and then headed to the Arusha Savanna at Jambo House (top). At the entrance to the Arusha Savanna the truck stopped and one of our safari mates got to sound the horn that called in the Red River Hogs for the night. At first the hogs did not appear, but while we waited a pair of Egyptian Geese walked past (middle). Finally, the Red River Hogs came running toward their enclosure (bottom). Arusha Savanna Egyptian Geese Red River Hog From there we drove around the Arusha Savanna. Figments room faced onto the Arusha Savanna, so it was fun to see up close all of the animals that we could see from our balcony! There were Thomsons Gazelles, Roan Antelopes, Grants Zebras, Red River Hogs, Spoonbills and Waterbucks. Arusha Savanna Thomson's Gazelle Roan Antelope Grant's Zebra Waterbuck Next we headed to the Uzima Savanna. As we waited for the guide to unlock the gate between the savannas, a pair of East African Crowned Cranes hopped over. They have very pretty wing feathers and were rather large! On this savanna we saw Wild Donkeys, Blesboks, Scimitar-horned Oryxs, Ruppels Griffon Vultures, and Common Elands. There were also Anikole Cattle and more Roan Antelope. Uzima Savanna Wild Donkey Blesbok Scimitar-horned Oryxs Ruppels Griffon Vultures Common Eland Other Animals As we drove around the savannas, the guide told us about the animals. There was a lot of good information; some specific to the Animal Kingdom Lodges animals (like the animals names) and some about the species. Many of the animals are members of a group so in many cases the names are also themed. The guide talked about a group named after Peanuts characters, another named after rappers, and another group named after donuts. It was pretty clever. Overall, the drive through the savannas was a great way to see the animals up close. Many animals were very close to the truck, so it was easy to see the animals details (e.g., stripes, coat coloring, etc.). Some of the animals even came up to the truck or raced alongside the truck. I wish the safari drive had lasted longer, but a yummy meal at Jiko awaited us! |

Continuing with Figment Goes on Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
This is the rough GPS track of the safari. It was pretty interesting to see where we went. The truck drove us back to the Jambo House where we headed down to Jiko for a three course meal. A table in the center of the main room was set for us where we could see the kitchen and the show kitchen. At each place setting was a copy of the evenings menu. Each course consisted of three different items. It was almost like a tasting menu! We met our server for the evening and then dinner began. At the start of each course Chef Michael came out and explained a little about each dish as it was being served. First out was the cocktail. Figment is not a big drinker, but he liked this cocktail. It was called a Sunriser and was made of Parrot Bay Rum, Banana Liqueur Blended with Orange, Pineapple, and Cranberry Juices. Next out were the appetizers. There was the Taste of Africa Assortment of Dips with Pappadam, Poppy Seed Lavash, and House-made Naan. The naan bread was really good. The pappadam and lavash breads were also pretty good (one was round and the other was triangular). The next appetizer was the Inguday Tibs in Brik with Mushrooms, Spinach, and Cheese in Crispy Tunisian Filo with Apple and Curry Vinaigrette. These were Figments favorites. The filo was nice and crispy and the filling had good flavor. The next appetizer was the Peri Peri-Roasted Chicken with Lime Chakalaka, Lamb Chopper Cheese, and Pickled Sweet Bell Peppers. It was like a flat bread pizza and tasted really good. The final appetizer was the Crispy Beef Bobotie Roll with Cucumber Raita, Green Mango Atjar, and Honey-Roasted Groundnuts. This one was kind of spicy, but it was still good. The wrapper was crispy (deep fried) and the filling was heavily spiced. After the appetizers were finished and the plates cleared, the entrée dishes were brought out. There were three different entrees: one fish, one beef and one poultry dish. The fish entrée was Maize-Crusted Corvina with Vegetables of the Moment and Tomato-Butter Sauce. It had deep fried shaved leeks on the top and a mixture of spring vegetables underneath. The fish was moist and the coating crunchy. The Oak-Grilled Filet Mignon with Ancient Grain Pilaf, Brussels Sprouts, and South African Red Wine Sauce was really good. The filet mignon was very tender (medium). The brussels sprouts were actually quite good (still slightly crunchy, but sautéed in butter). The final entrée was the Guinea Hen Doro Wot Braised Leg and Berbere-Roasted Breast with Sweet Potato, Wilted Greens, and Ancho Glaze. The hen was moist and the ancho glaze had only a slight bite. Finally, a dessert sampler was served individually: Vanilla Rooibos-Tanzanian Chocolate Cake and Honey Crunch Topping (left), Cheesecake with Spice Cake Crust and Warm Sautéed Apples in Caramel (middle), and Kenyan Coffee and Amarula Crème Brulee (right). Figment is not usually a big fan of crème brulee, but this one was amazing! It was very creamy (almost like a mousse) and had a good coffee flavor. The chocolate cake was rich and yummy. Each course was also paired with a wine (appetizers had a white, entrees had a red, and dessert had a sweet dessert wine). Figment is not a big wine drinker, so he did not think to take pictures with the wines until after dinner ended. After dinner, each safari-goer was given a little goodie bag. The bag contained a copy of the dinner menu which Figment used to write this trip report, a Wanyama Safari pin, a small bag of cookies featuring African chocolate (yum!), and a recipe card for Jiko Rice. Overall, Figment really enjoyed his safari through the savannas of Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was a lot of fun to see the animals up close and learn about them. The food at both the tea and the dinner were outstanding. He had already been to Jiko once before, but it was fun to go again and try so many of the items from the menu. He hopes to one day return to the Animal Kingdom Lodge and perhaps go on the Wanyama Safari again! |

Wonderful review and photos. They've added snacks before when we did the safari in 2010, all we got was a bottle of water. So cool that you got to go into the barn! I must do this again, which means I need to stay @ AKL!

Thanks for that! Looks like fun.
I'm hoping to make a reservation to surprise my fiancé on our honeymoon; did you pay for the tour when you reserved it or at the dinner? I'd rather pay before, so DF doesn't know how much it cost

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
The Denver Mint, the producer of more than half of our country's circulating coinage today, traces its lineage back to the private mint of Clark, Gruber & Co. The most respected and successful of the territorial mints that served the Colorado Gold Rush, this firm produced quarter eagles, half eagles, eagles, and double eagles in both 1860 and 1861. Despite their efforts, however, Clark, Gruber & Co. were unable to keep pace with the burgeoning population of Colorado. On the eve of the Civil War, the Colorado Territory boasted a population of twenty-five to thirty thousand inhabitants, with hundreds more arriving each day. As many of these people were miners, the existing supply of private coinage was woefully inadequate to prevent them from resorting to gold dust as a medium of exchange. Armed with these facts, the Colorado Territorial Convention of the Republican Party met on July 2, 1861 and drafted a resolution calling for a federal mint in Denver to supercede the activities of the local establishments. Amazingly, Clark, Gruber & Co. willingly admitted their shortcomings, supported the resolution, and even offered to sell their property to the federal government for the new mint. Despite rival claims for federal coinage facilities from Nevada (as benefactor of the Comstock Lode) and New York (as financial capital of the country), as well as the enormous wartime deficit, Congress passed the bill that established a branch mint in Denver, Colorado on April 21, 1862. After a year of the usual red tape and political jargon, on April 16, 1863, Uncle Sam purchased the Clark, Gruber & Co. building for the lofty sum of $25,000. After more than five months of extensive remodeling, the new mint was apparently ready to begin operations. For unknown reasons, however, Congress changed its mind at the last minute and opened the Denver facility merely as an assay office on September 24. It languished in this inglorious, although necessary role until early 1906, when Congress finally approved its operations as a full-fledged branch mint.
Among the early products of the Denver Mint, its silver coinage is well respected for its scarcity in the higher Mint State grades. A primary example of this is its 1907-D Barber dime issue.

Tolan pls
Talon....I silence first and throw blades muhahahahaha
Zed or ahri
Fizz or Zed
Eh, probably Urgot. With mana regen yellows you can spam E on cooldown
Talon. His E is a gap closer with silence and has 50 range over Kassadin's silence. Pre-6, you need to be aggressive on him. If you see Kassadin coming to you, start your combo before he can silence you. All you need to do is land E W AA Q AA on Kassadin and run away. Without Rift walk, all Kassadin can do is Q you as you run away. He can't even chase for an extra AA as you run back, because of Talon's slow on W and Talon has more base MS.
Jayce Granted it's still a skill match (Jayce doesn't just straight up counter kass) and Jayce definitely takes practice (I personally got ravaged in teamfights when I was first learning Jayce) but you can bully kass early, survive his burst (build hex; if you get camped too hard/you mess up, consider mercs and use blue pots to compensate for lack of CDR) and you can gank extremely effectively as well (I often run teleport on Jayce against kassadin because you're so much stronger early that ignite isn't necessary to get FB and you'll do plenty of damage later without it; also this'll slow down his roam potential). Once you get your first damage item (typically brutalizer, sometimes BT or manamune) you can often pick up kills bot with a single accelerated Q if your team is decent. For those who haven't tried Jayce mid, or haven't seen it at all I recommend giving it a shot! He's like nidalee with far more utility and far more consistent damage but with a higher CD poke. I may be biased because Jayce got me to plat . IMO his only major downsides are 1) no hard CC and 2) He may make your team comp too AD heavy

Fizz. Skill matchup.
Cloner Stive
Fizz. When he throws a ball of silence at you, E over to him and W - AA - Q run away. Granted his silence has half the cooldown of Fizz's E, if you do it every time, I imagine Kass would be smarter with when he silences.

The perspective of your writing generally refers to the 'person' in which you write. Unless you are instructed otherwise, you will usually write your essays in the third person, or at an 'academic distance' rather than in the first or second person. For example, you may write:
Academic writing rarely requires you to write in the first person, using "I", "me", or "our". Exceptions may occur when you are asked to relate events or statements to your own experiences of life and provide a personal opinion.
Example 1 (above) is more precise and definite in its tone than Example 2, stating apparent facts based on a 'review', rather than a 'thought'. This is an important distinction because stated facts require the support of valid and reliable evidence, usually gained from studying the literature on your subject. The use of evidence is a crucial element in academic writing. Proper use of evidence can reflect a high level of scholarship; improper use of evidence can reflect poorly on your academic integrity.

Taxes Are A Given In Life, Can You Name The Other ? [VIDEO]
Benjamin Franklin said "only two things in life are certain, death and taxes." This time of year we all seem to have no problem remembering taxes are inevitable; with taxes we all fall into one of two categories, those who look forward to getting their returns filed because they will be getting money back, and those who put it off as long as possible because they know they will have to pay the IRS.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bubbles, a Sussex Boston Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boston Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Sussex, or seeking a Boston Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy from a breeder in Sussex.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sussex already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sussex breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boston Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Boston Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sussex paves the way for another one to be saved.

A thirty-year veteran of network news at NBC and CBS, Marvin Kalb's current position as Harvard's leading press critic has made him one of the go-to guys when the question turns--as it often has this summer--to journalistic ethics. Whether appearing on PBS's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer or CNN's Reliable Sources (anchored by his brother Bernard), or opining in a Los Angeles Times op-ed in a somber tone, Kalb lays down the conventional wisdom when it comes to current news-media foibles.
So last July, when CNN retracted its "Valley of Death" broadcast charging that U.S. special forces targeted U.S. defectors and used poison gas in Laos, Kalb was quick to scold the network--and the two producers it fired--for producing "a rushed product that failed as reliable news" (Los Angeles Times, 7/10/98).
But Kalb has reported a few unreliable stories of his own. On the night of the U.S. presidential election in 1984, Kalb was at the head of the pack in reporting (NBC News, 11/6/84, 11/8/84) that the Soviets were delivering MiG fighter planes to the Nicaraguan Sandinistas. A Reagen White House plant designed to draw attention away from the concurrent elections in Nicaragua, the story evaporated after several days. It had been a hoax.
Kalb narrated an NBC news special ( 9/21/82) called "The Man Who Shot the Pope: A Study in Terrorism," which advanced the thesis that the previous year's attempt on Pope John Paul's life was part of a plot engineered by the Bulgarian secret service in tandem with the Soviet KGB. The theory was developed by far-right journalist Claire Sterling, who served as "consultant" for the Kalb documentary, and it centered on the testimony of the gunman in the Pope's shooting, Mehmet Ali Agca. Agca claimed he had hatched a plot with the Bulgarian secret service; he also claimed he was Jesus Christ. Far-fetched from the outset, the story deflated four years later when an Italian court acquitted three Bulgarians of conspiracy--and withered away entirely in 1991, when a CIA analyst admitted that U.S. intelligence had completely infiltrated Bulgaria's covert operations.
Fortunately, Kalb's unreliable reports were consistent with the agendas of powerful Washington institutions--so no jobs were lost, and no retractions or apologies were considered necessary.

JAXPORT's Board holds cruise terminal workshop
January 26, 2009
Prior to today's January meeting of JAXPORT's Board of Directors, port staff and economic consultants presented a detailed look at the cruise industry in Jacksonville, Fla. Below, you'll find links to the three Powerpoint presentations that were presented during the meeting.
Please note:
- The artist renderings in the first presentation were included to present the scale of the project, NOT the actual design and architecture of a proposed terminal in Mayport.
- The market outlook includes projections, but JAXPORT currently does not have cruise contracts beyond its current contract with Carnival Cruise Lines for passenger service aboard the Carnival Fascination.
Overview of the cruise industry in Jacksonville and the current proposal for a new terminal (8MB)
Cruise market outlook and potential in Jacksonville
Financial impact to JAXPORT from a cruise terminal project
During the January Board meeting which followed the workshop, JAXPORT's Board heard comments from the public and passed a measure authorizing JAXPORT staff to request quotes for the design and construction of a cruise terminal in the Mayport area. This will refine initial estimates to let the Board know exactly how much it will cost to build a cruise terminal. At a future Board meeting, Board Members will vote on whether or not to proceed with actual design and construction.

Even though Halloween is now done for another year. Don't toss your child's costume quite yet. If you have the storage space, save it until next year and participate in the National Costume Swap Day (usually in early October). If half of the kids in the U.S. had participated this year, 6,250 tons of landfill waste could have been avoided.

Two Bosses Enter: General Bjarngrim vs. Skadi the Ruthless {WoW}
Oct 15th 2009 4:40PM Hm, I think I'll give this one to Skadi.
First, Skadi if we count all the adds he has into the fight, clearly the advantage. Additionally, the General's adds might not be bright enough to stay out of the frost breath that Skadi's drake will do.
So, The General enters the arena and Skadi jumps up on his drake calling up all the adds to charge against Bjarngrim. Bjarngrim, going into zerker stance and charges forward to whirlwind the adds with his adds behind him keeping his +damage aura up. The General quickly disposes of the undead vrykul and picks up a few harpoons as he continues forward but as he and his two adds push forward Skadi comes in for a strafing run.
Having all but forgotten about Skadi, Bjarngrim and his two adds are trapped in the frost breath. While none of them is slain, one of the adds is wounded and slacks behind. In the meantime, Skadi is flying around and is in range of the harpoon launchers. Rushing forward and swapping to battle stance, the General quickly manages to fire off enough harpoons (thanks to the haste he gets from his Battle Stance) to kill Skadi's drake and bring him to the ground. However, Skadi as he is flying towards the ground notices the already wounded dark iron dwarf and throws a poisoned spear towards him. The dwarf, despite being made of iron, quickly succumbs to the poison and falls to the ground, dead.
Because of only having one of his support units left, Bjarngrim decides to go into defensive stance, equipping his sword and shield thinking he will tank Skadi to death. But he does not forsee Skadi's ruthless Crush ability and is stunned while Skadi starts his whirlwind and goes for the remaning Iron Dwarf. Struggling to get out of range, but failing, the sole Iron Dwarf is cut into shreds by Skadi's WhirlWind.
Bjarngrim, realizing he's lost his extra damage, decides it's time to go all out and goes back into zerker stance. But the wound he have already sustained is not enough against the virtually unharmed Skadi who after a short battle where the General tried to tip the odds into his favor with his Mortal Strike and Whirlwind, Bjarngrim ultimately falls to the ground, defeated. He failed Loken and the Iron Army. As the snow begins to cower the body, Skadi sets off by foot to find himself a new drake and a feast so he can eat to celebrate.
Breakfast topic: Has Trial of the Grand Crusader been a reasonable challenge? {WoW}
Sep 6th 2009 8:48AM @ Diogenes
You can't do the 10m with 3 healers on HEROIC, i.e. "Hard Mode". There is a timer for when the next boss will come so if one dps dies, you're gonna have Icehowl come and say hello while you're still fighting Dreadscale and Acidmaw. The amount of damage put on the tanks is insane. Icehowl's ferocious butt ability hits for 19k, and he will still melee the tank which can mean that your tanks can almost, ALMOST, get one shotted. Even with 46000+ hp.
You sound like a bit of a jerk Diogenes. Please, have some respect and read the comment properly before starting to flame people for what to me seems like no reason at all.
Breakfast topic: Has Trial of the Grand Crusader been a reasonable challenge? {WoW}
Sep 6th 2009 8:22AM I spend several hours in Trial of the grand crusader(10m). We didn't get beasts down, but it was damn close at some points. Best was a wipe at Icehowl at 200k hp left. What I've come to understand is that (at least) the 10m is VERY, very RNG. If you're unlucky both your healers can get fire bombs / snobolds. Going with 3 healers and you won't make the enrage timer. It's incredebly unfair, I don't understand how a moderatly serious guild can do it.
Hard fights = Ok, but it's skill that matters then.
Totgc? It's all about luck, there is no skill if you wipe because both your healers got snobolded and fire bombed. NONE
