Contrary to earlier reports, it appears "Chevy Runs Deep" is more than a simple marketing mantra. In fact, after looking at the five TV commercials set to air tonight during Game One of Major League Baseball's World Series, it appears to be a consistent slogan.
Unveiled this morning at a press conference in Detroit, the first five ads are, as previously reported, very laden with nostalgia. General Motors' marketing team steadfastly believes that passion for the Chevrolet brand lies deep within the hearts of most Americans -- it's simply a matter of tapping into that vein. "This is a brand that has touched all Americans," Joel Ewanick, GM's vice president of U.S. marketing, said in a prepared release. "We're proud of our heritage and eager to let people know how we can create a better future through vehicles like the Cruze, Volt, and other fuel-efficient vehicles that will be coming soon, like [the auto formerly known as Aveo] and Spark." The 60-second capstone spot, arguably does the best job at blending Chevrolet's heritage while showcasing the brand's current products and future directions. Other spots, which show off old photographs of owners with their first Chevrolet (funny; no Vegas are shown...), along with placing dogs in vintage Chevy pickups, are a little heavy on history -- something GM and its ad agency previously mentioned it wanted to avoid. The 60-second launch spot for the new 2011 Volt, however, does away with such historical imagery (pity; we'd love to watch the ElectroVair II in action). Instead, the ad illustrates how GM thinks the Volt is a perfect match for the freedom and wanderlust tied to our society. You can watch the ads for yourself by clicking the links below, but expect to see these commercials in heavy rotation during broadcast of the MLB World Series this week on Fox.

The Caretaker
Fifty years on and Harold Pinter's The Caretaker still has the power to unsettle. Nothing much happens after Aston rescues Davies from a brawl and allows him to stay in the derelict house which turns out to be owned by his brother, Mick. It's the weird power game between these characters who live in their separate no-man's-land that continues to exert its fascination.
Richard Stemp (Aston) in The Caretaker at Norwich Playhouse Photo: Sheila Burnett
Nicholas Gasson as Davies, Nicholas Gadd as Mick and Richard Stemp as Aston permeate the atmospheric set provided by designer Geraldine Bunzl. All piled boxes, ancient blankets, derelict gas stoves and dusty corners, it towers over and around the trio who hardly notice how depressing and awful it is. Each wants to leave but each knows subconsciously that they're unable to muster the required energy and willpower to effect change.
The tramp Davies who wants to get back to Sidcup to collect his 'papers' is excellently performed by Gasson. At first, downtrodden by Mick, he manages the transformation to persecutor very impressively when he learns of Aston's undefined mental problems. Stemp in a low-key, understated performance is convincing as the wistful, gentle but ineffective Aston. He flares up but once and it's a memorable moment. Gadd is menacingly flash as Mick. He relishes his hold over both men but is nevertheless vulnerable too.
I grew up in the part of north London that was also Pinter's background. I have caught the 581 and the 38a buses but have never been to Sidcup nor painted my room teal. Revisiting the area mentally was surreal.

I was so excited when I got the email from Mom Central letting me know I was chosen to host a Mattel Fijit Friends Playdate Premier Party! I knew my girls would absolutely LOVE these adorable little Fijit's.
To help me with the party, Mom Central sent us 2 Fijit Friends, A Fijit Friend Branded Flip camera, a Dance Party CD, Fijit Friends custom headbands, feather boas, a microphone, bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses, and rings. The 2 Fijit Friends we received are Willa (purple) and Sage (green).
With my daughter's 3rd birthday coming up, I used that as an awesome opportunity to have her friends over and Show everyone what a Fijit Friend is and party with all of the neat stuff they sent me.
So, I invited about 12 of her little friends over and was getting everything in order for her party. I ordered the cake, and had snacks, and drinks, and decorated. To my sadness, even after 8 of her friends RSVP'ed none of them showed up I felt really bad because she was really looking forward to having them over for her party.
But I tried to continue on with the party, and make the best of it. We ate a picnic lunch, and the kids played and danced. Then we sang happy birthday and sang to her, and then it was time for the presents.
As she was unwrapping her presents, it was time for me to give her mine (The Fijit Friend, her name was Willa, she is purple and that's my daughter's favorite color). She unwrapped it and was so excited. She didn't know what it was or what it did, but she immediately pushed it's tummy and it talked to her. She LOVES it. It couldn't be a better present for her.
Your kids will love the Fijit Friends, the only interactive robotic BFFs who dance, recognize your voice, and tell funny jokes! Poke 'em, squeeze 'em, or turn 'em into dancing machines.
Willa is ready to rock to your child's favorite music, and will perform different dance moves to different types of music.
- Fijit Friends are dancing machines that rock out to your favorite tunes
- Performs different dances moves to different types of songs
- Recognizes your voice and tells silly jokes
- Each sold separately
I created a video collage to show her party and how much fun the girls had dancing and talking to Willa. (My girls are 5 and now 3 )
I am sorry to say, My video didn't work out as well as I had hoped. It seems somehow when I was taking the video, it didn't take right, and left some area's black. But I still used them in my collage because you can still my children and I interacting with Willa.
Willa loves to play, dance, and tell jokes. My daughter loves it when Willa "Kisses" her. I totally recommend a Fijit Friend for your child. It is unique and very fun. Fijit Friends are great dancers, so be sure to take them to your next party! Even adults get a kick out of Fijit Friends. I think this is fun for ages 3 -100! The recommendation is for age 6 and up (From Mattel) but I think under supervision younger kids will love them as well. My 3 yr. old sure does.
From now until Aug. 31 , you can order your own Fijit Friend from Mattel. And I have a wonderful code to share with you. Use FIGITBL during check – out and you will get FREE shipping! Start thinking about the holidays and birthdays folks, cause Fijit Friends are bound to be a popular item this season. So get one today, and get the FREE shipping too!

Rajgir Hills, physiographic region, central Bihar state, northeastern India. The Rajgir Hills extend for some 40 miles (65 km) in two parallel ridges that enclose a narrow ravine. At one point the hills rise to 1,272 feet (388 metres), but in general they seldom exceed 1,000 feet (300 metres). The valley between the parallel ridges, south of the village of Rajgir, contains the site of Rajagrha ("Royal Residence"), said to have been the residence of the legendary Magadha emperor Jarasandha of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The outer fortifications can be traced on the crests of the hills for more than 25 miles (40 km); they are 17.5 feet (about 5 metres) thick, built of massive undressed stones without mortar. These ruined walls are generally dated to the 6th century bce. The remains of New Rajagrha, the reputed capital of King Bimbisara (c. 520–491 bce), lie north of the valley.
An important Buddhist and Jaina pilgrimage site, the Rajgir Hills are associated with the life of the Buddha Gautama, who often taught there. Chhatagiri is the former Gridhrakuta, or Vulture's Peak, which was one of his favourite retreats. One of the towers on Baibhar Hill (Vaibharagiri) has been identified as the Pippala stone house in which the Buddha lived. Sattapanni cave, which has been identified with a number of sites on Baibhar Hill and with the Sonbhandar cave at its foot, was the site of the first Buddhist synod (543 bce) to record the tenets of the faith. The Sonbhandar cave is now believed to have been excavated by the Jains in the 3rd or 4th century ce. In the valley's centre, excavations at the Maniyar Math site have revealed a circular shrine associated with the worship of Mani-naga, a serpent deity of the Mahabharata. Several modern Jaina temples lie on the hills around the valley. There are also hot springs in the valleys, surrounded by Hindu shrines.

My folks are ready for the nursing home, what all do I need to pack for them and what should I NOT take?? I figure 10 days worth of clothes. I have looked real quick for a site on the internet but haven't found it yet. Thought you guys would be quicker. :) |

If you are going to let the nursing home do the laundry then I would take as many clothes as possible! They tend to not get clothes back to residents in a timely manner. Plus many times they are given to other residents "by mistake". Do make sure all are labeled with their name in an obvious spot so they have no excuse for not getting them back to them. I do the laundry for my mom and brother as they have some nice clothes that would be ruined if the home did them. They need things to make them feel "at home", you can take bedspreads, lamps and furniture (if there is enough space in the room). Don't let them have cash in the room, set up a resident trust account so if they need money they can access it. Shoes, comfortable easy on and off...........good soles if they can still walk. Walking type shoes are prefered by most homes but a good pair is nice, especially for the ladies when they want to get "dressed up" more. For my mom I made sure she had her brush, mirror, a litte make-up and moisture cream. Also she wanted a litte jewelry, but I made sure I itemized and took pictures so there would be proof of what was in there. I am lucky to have mom and brother in a nice home where they don't steal from the residents, but many nursing homes are not this nice. Just sit back and think about what YOU would want. This is going to be their Home now so they need to feel comfortable. Don't forget jackets and coats!! Most nursing homes have outings and they will need coats on cold/cool days. If they are use to using fragrance's then by all means make sure they have thier favorites available. That's all I can think of now, but will post more as I think of it........... |

Are you planning to do all their laundry? If not, make sure that everything is washable. Sew in name labels. Make sure that everything is easy to get on and off. Elastic band pants and skirts are better for the women than those with zippers. Two piece outfits are better than a dress. Men need pants that don't require a belt. Bathrobe and sleeping clothes. Long sleeve shirts and blouses that can be worn all seasons usually work better than short sleeves. Wait to see how the place is heated and cooled before you pack things like sweaters and coats. You can take those later as the weather changes. Don't pack odds and ends like jewelry. If they need watches, buy a cheap one. Things like that have a way of getting misplaced. My mother kept hiding her rings and watch because she was afraid someone would get them. Then we would have the hunt to find them because she couldn't remember where she put them. It wasn't always in her room. We never did find her rings the last time. Did someone take them? We'll never know, but it was an expensive set. Take just the bare essentials to begin with. Then add other things as you see that they are needed. Ask about medications. Some homes prefer to administer medications by the staff to prevent too much or too little. If the home is air conditioned, a light extra blanket for the bed is sometimes needed. If either is in a wheelchair, a lap robe is useful. Don't worry too much about it right now. Just plan on three or four days. By then, you'll see what is needed. Then take more. Space for clothing may be limited, so the amount for ten days may be much too much. |
Thanks everybody! I know these things, but it helps to see them in print. I just called my mom and she said she can't do it; and I know that since she's still relatively mentally sound that she will have the most objections in the long run. Dad has Alz. and will do what we say when it comes to the move. |

I always make sure there is a "season" approiate jacket on hand so it can be worn if the weather changes. When mom went to Phipps Conservatory on a outing she wore a "fancy" outfit, LOL! it is a Quacker Factory with Sparkles but it has a jacket and she was glad in some parts that she had one on.....others were chilly at times. My brother has pants with zippers and shorts also.......none of the nursing homes has had a problem with zippers and he was in several different ones. My mom has a couple bras on hand also.......but only wants one on when they are going on an outing......after all these years she finally realized how comfy it is NOT to have one on!LOL!!!!! My mom and brother both have watches.....abliet not expensive ones, but they really enjoy knowing what time it is. Mom also has an gold bracelet she wears all the time, I left orders it is never to be taken off except by me. They have not touched it and she loves having her "bling". I just check it from time to time to make sure the clasp is okay.......... I have not been in a nursing home yet that was cold in the winter.....mosty are unbearably hot of the visitors, but comfy for the residents. |

You can order iron-on name labels that are pre-printed; they are easier and faster than trying to write on everything with a permanent marker. But some clothes will still get lost (where DO they all go??) |
- Posted by lindajewell (My Page) on Tue, Aug 5, 08 at 21:25
(where DO they all go??) Often they go home with the staff members, other times they go to other residents. At one of the homes my brother was in I went in to get his laundry one day.........noticed some of his really good shirts were missing. I went on a hunt for them, couldn't find them anywhere, including the laundry. I went to file a complaint with the proper person at the home, she tried to "poo-poo" it, then in a tone I did not care for said "well, in order to get paid you have to prove how much the shirts cost" I looked her in the eye, smiled and said "well, they were purchased at a high end store and this store keeps records of every thing their customers purchase......forever!" She went a tad pale, but still tried to blow it off as nothing. I finally stood up and as I was leaving turned around and said "well darlin' you have one week to find his clothes before I file a police report for theft" Within 2 days all his clothes returned and were never touched again! Some times ya gotta get tough! LOL! The nursing home he and mom are in now is so different, they have not stolen his clothes. However the problem comes because "laundry" is usually under staffed and over worked. If one is not going to do laundry it is advisable to make sure the resident has as many clothes as their closet will hold because it can take a while to get the clean ones back. In which case the resident is reduced to wearing one of those lovely gowns. And even if doing the laundry what if something happens and you can't get in..the more clothes the better. Plus, one more thought, what right do we have to take away our loved ones right to have enough clothes to be able to chose their outfits each day. BTW, in my experience the staff puts the residents in those gowns every night to sleep in.....they do not put them in nightgowns from home. I had several of mom's in there but ended up bringing them home as they were never used. |

"So delicious with very little work! This is my kind of recipe. Next time I'll let the shrimp marinate longer for a more intense flavor (I like heat). I emptied them right from the marinade into a grill basket, tossed it a few times over the grill, and served over a nice crisp salad. It was a delightful summer dinner!"
"Wow! This is a really flavorful way to prepare zucchini. I added some lemon zest and grated parmesan, as well as some dried herbs (to make up for using plain bread crumbs). Then, I baked the cakes on a greased baking sheet for 15 minutes at 400, flipped them, and baked for an additional 15 min at 450 to get them nice and browned. Don't worry i..."

Next time (and I WILL be makin..."
"Oh so delicious! Wanda, wherever you are, you are a genius :) This so simple and tasty...and dangerous! Luckily there aren't any leftovers or I'd be in trouble.

"This is the best chicken soup! I sauteed the onion for a bit before adding the other vegetables to sweeten the onion flavor. I also shredded the chicken from a store bought rotisserie chicken and eliminated the poultry seasoning. And, I added about 1/2 small can of evaporated milk with the broth (as per another reviewer's suggestion). I'll nev..."
"Overall, a great dish - tasty, easy to make, and economical. I have to agree with the reviewer who found the sauce a little too lemony, though. Maybe we both had extra tart lemons, but I will plan to use only the lemon juice next time. This time, I used a bit more butter to bring down the tartness."
"Moist, delicious and easy to make! I omitted the fruit and raisins and frosted the loaves with a simple cream cheese icing. I brought it as a hostess gift for a friend with whom we were visiting for a long weekend. We enjoyed eating it for a sweet breakfast all weekend. Next time, I will add the raisins and possibly a can of crushed pineapple."
"Easy and delicious! My husband loved the flavor and tenderness of the chicken, which I served on a crusty roll with macaroni salad on the side. I will definitely be making this on a regular basis. A caution to anyone "tweaking" the recipe - I set my crock pot on low for 7.5 hours instead of high for 3-4 hours as the recipe calls for. This was ..."
"Yum! Tasty, simple, and hearty vegetarian meal (and inexpensive!). I added a can of sliced mushrooms and plan to experiment with other vegetables and seasonings. It reheats nicely and would be a great make-ahead meal - you could complete steps 1-3 ahead and save the last step for just before serving."

Thanks Carina and if you ever do decide to try American Idol Experience, might I suggest the finale show and only the finale show.
I have never....... ate a Mickey Bar.
I applaud you! It is a hard thing to do. It's funny you get happier as you go toward the middle, and sadder as you move close to the end.
I have never done:
Journey into Imagination with Figment
Epcot Food and Wine Festival (fingers crossed for next year)
Expedition Everest (plan to change that in 2 weeks!)

You have GOT to see the American Adventure. It is a very well put together attraction & The Voices of Liberty are not to be missed!
I have never done Disney Quest & probably won't - we just aren't big gamers (we do have a Wii but DS 7 prefers to play our old Nintendo - the really old one - if he is playing a video game). I regret never going to the Adventurers Club
I've never gone to Disney Quest either. My Atari Missle Command is intense enough, thank you.

I haven't played MC since the late 80's...good times. Anyone remember Tank Pong from the original Atari game console?
I have never ridden Dumbo or the Magic Carpets of Aladdin. However, for our upcoming trip in October, my husband and I have started a list on my iPhone of what we want to remember to do. The most important thing is spending time in World Showcase. We are taking a Segway Tour (which scares me) and then will spend time in each pavilion. I am super excited and can't wait.

There was a neat move I had. If you drove up to one of the corners of the screen, and pushed forward and turned into the corner, you'd instantly warp to the other corner and surprise your opponent...

First off, thank you all who weighed in about the Roe Habitat Blouse. I am elated to have one on it's way to me via a best offer on Ebay. You'll be seeing deer at play soon, ladies. Very soon.
While I'm at it, I'm gonna get mushy. Thank you to all of you who take the time to comment on here. That's why I started this blog in the first place, to have a spot where I could talk and ramble at length with other Anthropologie die-hards who "get it". So when I'm talkin' to myself, it feels a bit lonely. I know there are a bajillion blogs out there to comment on, so I do truly value the time you take reading the frou-frou that spills out of my head and the comments you leave. I don't always have the time to reply to each comment, but I read each and every one…and try my best. So, thank You!
So, about the 3 new pretties I bought…. Some of you know me quite well. Good guesses, you little fortune tellers.
One of them though, none of you guessed. If I were the betting kind, I wouldn't have bet I'd buy them either.
In truth, I bought both of these items before the catalog shots came out of them being paired together. Hey, when it's good, it's good…right? Why mess?
About the pants….Novel indeed! They are like BUTTAH! So soft. Flare on them is ridic. So ridic it's rad. I friggin' love them. The top….light as air. You can roll the sleeves to hide the bit of print on the inside band of the wrists, or you can show it. I'm all bothered by the coral color now…thinking I need it too!
The other item I purchased? I was seduced by Pam Hiran again!
I have already tried it 10 ways in my closet and ladies…we have a winner. This is one of those pieces I feel I'd log serious hours hunting down on Ebay a year from now if I let it get away. Looks particularly great with this and this.
I played around a little bit with the Dime Novels. Would love to wear them all three of these ways as well.
Have you tried the Dime Novels on? Feeling as inspired by them as I am?
I've gotta say…..I'm feeling gushy about them in a "they are my muse" sort of way.
xoxo Molly

I was looking at only evergreens, but I think my choices are too limited, so I am going to be open to other choices. I was looking at Little Gem Magnolia and Photinia standard for evergreens. I'm looking for trees for zone 8/9 that will fit in a 4x4 land area bordered by hardscape on one side and fencing on the other that will provide hot weather shade, There is more space for the tree to grow branches outward once it is over the 6 ft fence, but the land area for the trunk/roots is limited. |

Have you considered a palm? I'm in NC, but that fence/patio situation sounds perfect for a Sabal palmetto. They are evergreen, relatively clean and low maintenace, here you could get them put in at a size with the crowns over the fence height for a reasonable price (around $200 ea). Palms in general don't need a huge area to root, and once they grow upwards, they can never ever get any wider at the base. (perfect for having limited space down low). I don't have a clue about growing Sabals in CA, or the price of a 10ft one there. There are a handful of palms that could work for you in z9. I know you were asking about shade trees, but if you don't hate the idea of palms some could be well suited for your space. Just my palm biased thoughts. |
Palms would be out of place in this area and not provide enough shade or patio privacy. I am in an area that is 8/9 borderline. I found a site that says the capital pear tree is supposed to be 6 feet from fences and I only have around 4x4 ground space to plant in so there is no way it can be 6 feet away from the fence. So, that one probably will not work either. I'm looking for sun protection during spring/summer/fall and added privacy. So maybe some kind of hedge could work instead of a tree, except hedges generally do not grow in a way that provides shade like a tree would. |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Tue, Oct 8, 13 at 23:36
not sure about your state / area but the local botanical garden lists this invasive as a NO PLANT for Missouri. Besides that, until proven otherwise, I bet this Capitol Pear will hold a split apart and attack nearby fences like its Bradford relative. Is this a 4x4 square of dirt Surrounded by pavement you will be planting a tree in? There are columnar oaks and maples but I would tend to want to stay one step smaller if planting in such a tight spot. Acer gresium, paperbark maple, or the right Acer japonicum, Japanes maple cultivar might look great if hardy for your summers. |
Here is a link that might be useful: MOBOT capitol pear
I found out that the capital pear tree is probably going to be too large to fit in that space. It would replace that small plant and moved closer to the center of the corner.. |
- Posted by Sequoiadendron4 6B (My Page) on Wed, Oct 9, 13 at 13:14
What about a Cupressus sempervirens? |
Cupressus sempervirens looks like it may fit in the space, but it would be so narrow at the top that I don't think it would provide shade. I'm looking for something that doesn't need a lot of ground space, but has a canopy overhead so it can provide shade below it. |
- Posted by Sequoiadendron4 6B (My Page) on Wed, Oct 9, 13 at 14:29
That's a tough one for sure.... |
I think your parameters are mutually exclusives. The 4X4 space is not large enough to plant any tree that is going to provide any shade. Have you thought of large bushes around some trellis/arbor type structure? The bushes would give you the green and color and the structure would give you the shade. Is it possible to remove the fence to open up the area and provide more room for a shade tree? |
I went to a nursery and they said they many of their smaller trees that have a maximum height between 15 and 25 feet would fit in that space. The amount of shade would be limited, but I I don't need to cover the entire patio in shade, I can't remove the fence and I don't want to install anything like a trellis. |
Possibly standard full-size Crepe Myrtle bush. Tx. Redbud - train to single leader. Desert Willow - Lucretia Hamilton cultivar. Mexican Plum. Flowering Peach tree. |

AQAP destroys tombs in southern Yemen
As the Yemeni military presses its offensive against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula strongholds in Abyan province, the terror group released a video of the destruction of a tomb in Jaar just before AQAP fighters withdrew from the city. The scene is reminiscent of the Afghan Taliban's destruction of statues of Buddha in March 2001.
The videotape was released by the Madad News Agency and showed members of Ansar al Sharia, AQAP's political front, demolishing tombs in the villages of Al Tareyyah, Al Darjaj, and Sayhan near Jaar in Abyan province. The videotape, which was recorded in May and released on June 5, was obtained and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group. Ibrahim Suleiman al Rubaish, a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay and now a senior AQAP leader, is featured in the video.
AQAP members are shown destroying the al Ja'dani shrine in Al Tareyyah. The AQAP fighters and some members of the village ripped apart the items inside the dome, and lit objects on fire. A backhoe was then used to demolish the domed structure.
Rubaish, who has risen to become a leading ideologue and theologian for AQAP after his release, was present at the demolition, and gave a speech that explained why AQAP destroyed the tomb.
Ibrahim Suleiman al Rubaish, while giving a speech on the destruction of tombs outside of Jaar, Yemen. |
"Here are the mujahideen by the grace of Allah the Great and Almighty carrying out what Allah commanded them to do and reviving their jihad in the Cause of Allah.... So, just as they fought democracy and representative councils which make laws alongside Allah, they are destroying the domes which are being worshipped other than Allah, along with the graves and mausoleums, which people try to get close to other than Allah the Great and Almighty," Rubaish said, according to SITE.
"We fight the idolatry of the palaces and the graves - both are the same," Rubaish said later in the video after AQAP fighters and villagers moved off to destroy other tombs in the area.
AQAP was driven out of Jaar and Zinjibar, the provincial capital of Abyan, by the Yemeni military three days ago. The coastal town of Shaqra in Abyan was liberated from AQAP control today. AQAP controlled Jaar, Zinjibar, and Shaqra for a 11 months before the Yemeni military launched the offensive in May.
AQAP's destruction of the tombs near Jaar, and the rationale for doing so, was similar to the Taliban's destruction of two massive statues of Buddha (one was 175 feet tall, the other was 125 feet) in Bamiyan province in March 2001. The two statues were carved into limestone cliffs sometime between 300 and 500 A.D. The Taliban used "explosives, tanks, and anti-aircraft weapons" to destroy the statues, according to USA Today.
The destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas was ordered by Mullah Mohammed Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, after his government decreed that the statues were "idols."
Other Islamist terror groups, including al Qaeda in Iraq, Shabaab in Somalia, the Pakistani Taliban, and Ansar Dine in Mali have targeted graves and religious sites as part of their efforts to erase symbols that they perceive to be against Islam.

it's just a matter of time before Timbuktu & Egyptian antiquities meet the same fate
Posted by Witch Doctor at June 15, 2012 10:38 PM ET:
@Mike Merlo...
You are too right my friend. In Egypt we could have predicted this as soon as we heard the "Muslim Brotherhood" was on the scene.
Watching these idiots destroy and burn symbols against Islam remind me of some of the stupid stuff I see teenagers doing as they grow up. There is the difference, teenagers grow up, idiots who have no tolerance for others get blown up.
I hope backhoes seen near Mosques and their operators now present an even greater target rich environment for us to drop hellfire rockets on their backward thinking selves.
Happy Hunting!
P.S. Check the new URL. It was hard to get accepted, but Martyr 9/11 seems to be a real sucker.
Posted by Thomas at June 16, 2012 12:03 AM ET:
How is this possibly reminiscent of the Taliban's destruction of the Buddhas? The buddha statues were viewed as pre-islamic idols, whereas these are shrines of muslim saints.
The Taliban, being a traditional deobandi movement, have refrained from desecrating tombs of saints. Whereas the AQAP being a salafist movement, are furiously anti-sufi.
Theres no connection between the two. Otherwise, the Taliban would have destroyed the tombs in the town of Mazar-e-Sharif, and given it a new name since it literally means "Holy Shrine".
Posted by Eddie D. at June 16, 2012 12:43 PM ET:
They know they are not going to have their way so they are destroying everything they can. They remind me of spoiled brats.
Posted by mike merlo at June 16, 2012 1:50 PM ET:
re: Thomas
AQ, the Taliban and a host of other 'associates' in Pakistan have been busy for years destroying & desecrating Tombs & 'places of significance' of saints, pirs and notables of consequence. Lest people forget Shia 'structures' of consequence in Iraq were and are regularly targeted by Salafists. Actually throughout the world of Islam incidents of vandalism are so frequent & numerous in targeting these 'structures' they barely receive mention even in the host countries national media outlets.
If I'm not mistaken the Taliban engaged in some vandalism targeting places of interest in
Mazar-e-Sharif & other parts of Afghanistan outside their Helmand/Kandahar stronghold. Their rationale for standing down was a combination of tenuous control & the Northern Alliance.
Posted by Thomas at June 17, 2012 3:10 AM ET:
@ mike merlo
Al-Qaeda is a 'salafist' group, which explains why they would bomb or break tombs/shrines. There's no contradiction there, since they are vehemently anti-sufi.
However, the Taliban is a 'deobandi' group, which itself is a fundamentalist branch of sufism. They oppose the "worshiping" of tombs, but don't oppose tombs itself.
That is why I feel its not an accurate description to compare the two. Since they have a clear religious/interpretational division, despite the political/militant alliance.
Posted by mike merlo at June 17, 2012 9:08 PM ET:
@ Thomas
There is little or no difference between Salafist's & Deobandi's. One need only to research how the Deobandi's came about in the first place. A while back some one posted a comment on The Kharajites as point of reference in trying to understand & trace the roots of the present dilemma bedeviling the world.
Destruction of the Tombs & related 'recognitions' actually dovetails quite nicely with the Deobandi 'world view.'
Posted by Witch Doctor at June 17, 2012 10:33 PM ET:
@Mike and Thomas;
Both of you gentlemen are correct in some ways. While the Taliban are Deobandi which is an offshoot of Sufisim they do not believe in destroying tombs. They do not believe in worshiping anything that is anti-Islam which makes destruction of culture and artifacts okay.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which I believe Mike was hinting at regarding his Egypt comments draw their beliefs from the Salafi school of thought. With this being said one of their basic ideals is to install Sharia law wherever possible. This can not be good for the hopes of a new Egypt.
Good comments by both of you sirs and I enjoyed reading them.
Happy Father's Day to all.
Posted by Witch Doctor at June 17, 2012 10:38 PM ET:
After writing my last comment I happened to glance at the CBS page and saw that the Muslim Brotherhood claims victory in the preliminary election. See for yourselves:
Not good!
Posted by Rogg Gollibo at June 18, 2012 1:28 AM ET:
I think all the comments here summed it up. Just a bunch of thugs at this point; they've lost their guidance (albeit tempoarirly); lost their bombmakers (albeit temporarirly). We can only hope "our boy" from Daphne hops across the gulf to Yemen, and gets hit via a drone.
I think we need to continue and just drone the he** out of them till we can say "There used to be a bunch of AQAP here; but we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach."

Hank III – Straight to Hell
Bringing Honor To The Outlaw Legacy
A spirited voice of dissent, when made audible at just the right time, can be a powerful agent of change. Hank III (grandson of the legendary Hank Williams, son of Hank Williams Jr.) might be just such a voice. Straight to Hell, Hank's third "official" full-length release is a scalding-hot reconstruction of modern country music. Songs such as "Smoke & Wine" and the title track "Straight to Hell" sizzle with a flurry of frantic banjos, full-tilt pickin'-and-grinnin' guitars and just the right amount of pedal steel. Highlighting the album's precision pacing are the tracks "Low Down," "Not Everybody Likes Us" and "D Ray White" bringing soulful reflection that balances the raucous energy. Lyrical examples from them ("Low down / once again / well I'm struggling now / to get by my friend," "It's a certain kind of living / It's a certain of style") are delivered by Hank's crisp vocals with pride, conviction and grace.
The second disc features "Louisiana Stripes" a worthy successor to "Folsom Prison Blues" and a 42 minute "hidden track," a jaw-dropping Pink Floyd-style lo-fi experiment boasting an entire extra album of songs. Those and a cover of III's grandfather's "I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You" are woven around samples of answering machine messages, passing trains, backwards audio loops and a liberal use of delay.
Although the vast majority of the material speaks of a life overloaded with drinking, sinning and drug use, it belies the tone of the album; it's a joyous and uncompromising measure of a man. If we're lucky, enough to turn country music upside down, but if nothing else, his grandfather would be proud.

Western museums are opening their halls for huge state exhibitions in collaboration with non-democratic regimes. The British Museum is currently hosting an exhibition on the Hajj which is funded by Saudi Arabia and reflects the royal family's position on the ritual. Should an institution dedicated to secular learning accommodate such religiously doctrinaire exhibitions? Yes, says Malise Ruthven in the New York Review of Books blog, who evidently believes in the conciliatory effects of such cultural politics. Tagesspiegel author Nicola Kuhn sees the new "Roads of Arabia" exhibition in Berlin's Pergamon Museum more critically. Image © National Museum, Riyadh

NBC is currently airing the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, the annual recruiting extravaganza in which a "game" is played, a number of big-time national recruits find new ways to momentarily confuse viewers before picking a hat from the school they will attend, and the clip of DeSean Jackson flipping at the 1-yard line is replayed.
Here's the rosters for today's game, and also for tomorrow's Under Armour All-America game, to be broadcast on ABC.
The Ducks have a number of players to watch today, beginning with a player already committed to Oregon, placekicker Jackson Rice.
The one guy apparently slated to announce his decision today who might choose the Ducks is receiver Bryce McNeal. UPDATE (12:49 p.m.): McNeal chose Clemson over Oregon and others.
One of the East quarterback is Tajh Boyd, who is said to be down to Oregon and Ohio State. Also in the East backfield is running back Bryce Brown, who may or may not still have some interest in the Ducks. He was just named national player of the year at halftime.
Also in the game are cornerback Cliff Harris, who is down to Oregon and USC, and receiver Adam Hall, who was prepared to commit to his hometown school, Arizona, today but instead just narrowed his choices to the Wildcats, Ducks and Cal.
Finally, they also do a combine for underclassmen, and Oregon is being considered by a number of players who participated, according to this report.

In Response To: Is food allergy testing neccessary? (Kristy P)
Kristy: Most of what we think might be food allergies are really intollerances, which will not show up on the allergy testing. Most of our intollerances are foods we shouldn't be eating anyhow. I have had the testing. I have been on the diet only a couple of weeks and am still doing a lot of detoxing and find the allergies flare and then go away. As your body gets healthier, most allergies get better. I don't think it is worth the money to find an allergy that may disappear soon anyhow.

Royals 2012 Outlook
Get ready Royals fans. The losing tradition that has followed Kansas City Royals baseball since the late 80's is about to become extinct. Over the years, fans have lost faith in our boys in powder blue, and understandably so. We've seen a managerial change every 2-4 years, repeated finishes in the AL Central cellar, and All Star calibre players traded away for prospects that never pan out. For the past few years we've heard all about the loaded farm system, the minor league championships and the top 5 draft picks. But still, the major league club has been one of the worst in the majors over the last decade. But finally, the wait is over. The Kansas City Royals future, for the first time, can be seen on opening day of the 2012 season.
You say: "This is the Royals, for crying out loud, they'll never be a winning team again."
Realistically, if you look within the division, the Royals are in a good spot. There isn't really a clear cut number two team behind the Detroit Tigers. The hot start Cleveland Indians faded mightily down the stretch, losing their final 4 games and 6 of their final 10 to finish two games below .500. The Chicago White Sox are in a rebuilding of sorts after loud mouth manager Ozzie Guillen packed his bags and took the talents of the staff ace Mark Burhle with him to South Beach. It's tough to say what first year manager Robin Ventura can bring to this club. Then there's the Twins. They have two excellent hitters (Morneau and Mauer) who can't stay healthy. They lost solid bats in Jason Kubel and Michael Cuddyer via free agency. I don't see how Ron Gardenhire can mold this team into a playoff contender again without some major changes. The Royals are in a perfect spot to catch some teams by surprise and a 2nd place finish for the leagues youngest team is not out of the question. Watch for all the MLB projections to come out in the next few months and don't be shocked to see the Royals up near the top of the division.
You say: "Yeah well as soon as their players become stars they'll just trade them away."
This used to be a legit concern. Anyone who still uses this reasoning for why the Royals won't win is still living in 2002. Get with the program! Former GM Alan Baird built the tradition of selling high and getting minimal return. Not anymore. Dayton Moore has built this team from the ground up. The Royals have been one of the most active teams in all of baseball in international scouting and spending via the draft. They've overpaid for draft picks in order to lock down talented youth. The investment is starting to flourish. So after the painstaking years of throwing money into the grooming of youth talent of our system, it would be ludicrous to sell them away. In the recent seasons we've seen GMDM lock up lights out closer Soria and doubles machine Billy Butler. He's spent loads of money to make sure we sign high draft picks like Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, and most recently, 5-tool talent Bubba Starling. Moore's current project is working out an Alex Gordon extension after his breakout season. It's apparent that Moore intends to keep our core group of players together. If there are any big names being swapped away via trade (ala Melky Cabrera) it'll be for an impact prospect or major league contributor instead of middle class prospects like we saw throughout the 1990's and early 2000's.
You say: "This team is too young to be successful. The core group of guys need more seasoning."
Again, a legit concern for the 2012 club, especially in the starting rotation. But keep in mind that this group of players have played together for several seasons and, most importantly, they've been successful at every level. These kids, most of whom will be in the lineup come opening day, have dominated the minor league system. Last season, even though the elite prospects were already in the bigs, both the Omaha (AAA) and Arkansas (AA) affiliates won their divisions and made the minor league championships. The Royals will have 4 positional players (all infielders) entering their sophomore campaigns. The old men in the starting group are Gordon and Frenchy, both of whom had excellent seasons defensively (with Gordon winning a gold glove in LF – his first full season at the position). In fact, Gordon and Francoeur finished 1-2 in the majors in OF assists. Alcides Escobar, the oldest of all infielders at 25 years old, led the majors in putouts at the shortstop position and he has multiple gold gloves in his near future. The projected starting lineup of the 2012 Royals has an average age of 25 years old. Let that sink in for a minute. The major difference between the 2012 Royals and the Royals of the past is that this seasons squad expects to win. They've done it at every level and it won't be long before they take the AL Central and, perhaps, the AL Pennant. You can enter your own "Angels in the Outfield" quip here, but still, the dream season could actually happen. The talent is there and it won't take long for this group to learn how to win at the big league level and when they do, watch out!

Rolls-Royce wins $420 million order from Garuda Indonesia Airlines
Wednesday, 21 July 2010
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a $420m order, at list prices, from Garuda Indonesia Airlines for Trent engines to power six Airbus A330 aircraft. The order includes long-term TotalCare® service support. Deliveries will begin in 2012.
Emirsyah Satar, Chief Executive Officer, Garuda Indonesia Airlines, said: "We are pleased to make a further selection of Rolls-Royce engines for our A330 fleet. The aircraft represents an exciting new phase of development for Garuda and our shareholders. TotalCare has delivered significant improvements in aircraft availability and operations to our existing A330 fleet and will do so with our latest aircraft."
Nick Devall, Rolls-Royce, Executive Vice President - Customer Business, said: "We are delighted that Garuda Airlines has again chosen Rolls-Royce technology to power these additional A330 aircraft. We are committed to working closely with the airline as they continue to develop their fleet."
The Trent 700, the only engine specifically designed for the A330, remains the market leader for the aircraft, achieving more than 70 per cent of new orders over the last three years. The order brings the total number of Garuda's Trent 700 powered A330s to 16, all supported by TotalCare.
Earlier this week Rolls-Royce announced that Garuda Indonesia Airlines signed an additional contract for Rolls-Royce TotalCare to support four leased Trent 700 powered A330-200 aircraft, for the next seven years.
- Rolls-Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce today has a broad customer base comprising more than 600 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in nearly 120 countries, with an installed base of 54,000 gas turbines.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 39,000 skilled people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in 50 countries. The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment, and to further developing employee skills.
- In 2009, Rolls-Royce invested £864 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental aspects of its products, in particular the reduction of emissions.
- Annual underlying revenues were £10.1 billion in 2009, of which about half came from services revenues. The firm and announced order book stood at £58.3 billion at 31 December 2009, providing visibility of future levels of activity.

George Michael: A colourful life
George Michael - whose real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou - was born in north London in 1963 to a Greek Cypriot father and English mother.
While at secondary school in Bushey, Hertfordshire, he met his future pop partner Andrew Ridgeley.
Within a year of forming duo Wham!, the teenagers released debut single, Wham Rap, closely followed by Young Guns (Go For It!).
It was to be the first of many top 10 hits, including Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go) and Last Christmas.
After the band broke up, Michael embarked on a successful solo career - his debut album Faith spawned several number one singles including Father Figure and the title track.
It sold more than 20 million copies and earned Michael a best album Grammy in 1988.
His second solo album was titled Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1. It sold about eight million copies, considerably less than its predecessor but it did reach number two on the UK album chart and was named best British album at the Brits in 1991.
In the 2005 documentary, George Michael: A Different Story, the singer admitted he had been striving to match the achievements of Michael Jackson and Madonna.
But following the golden success of the early 1990s, Michael's life and image became dogged by trauma and controversy.
Michael was devastated when he lost his lover Anselmo Feleppa to Aids in 1993.
- April 1998 Arrested in LA for "engaging in a lewd act" in a public toilet. Ordered to pay a $810 fine and 80 hours community service.
- February 2006 Arrested for possession of Class C drugs. Cautioned and released.
- June 2007 Charged with driving while unfit through drugs. Given a two-year driving ban and 100 hours community service.
- September 2008 Arrested for possession of Class A and C drugs. Cautioned and released.
- August 2010 Charged with driving under the influence of drugs and possession of Class C drugs. Given six-month interim driving ban until sentencing.
- September 2010 Sentenced to eight weeks in prison, fined £1,250 and given a five-year driving ban.
"Anyone who's experienced having somebody they love, whether it be a member of the family or a loved one, who has a terminal illness - which HIV was still considered in 1991 - anyone who's lived through that knows that it's a terrifying, terrifying thing," he said later.
He fell out spectacularly with his record company Sony in 1994 and tried to get himself released from his contract, which he called "professional slavery".
He accused Sony of not marketing Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 adequately.
A three-month court case ensued, which Michael eventually lost, forcing him to fulfil his contractual commitments and record two more songs to be used on a greatest hits album.
Michael then signed a record deal with Dreamworks, releasing his album Older in 1995 but it sold less than one million copies in the US.
Michael lost his mother to cancer in 1997 and was arrested for a sex act in Los Angeles the following year, leading to a public admission that he was gay.
He parodied the arrest incident in the video for his single Outside in 1998 - which reached number four on the UK singles chart.
But headlines surrounding his brushes with the law soon began to overtake his music.
He released a covers album, Songs From the Last Century, in 1995 and five years later returned with Patience which featured controversial single, Shoot the Dog.
The video for the song was a political satire showing Tony Blair as George Bush's poodle.
In 2006, he embarked on his first solo tour in 15 years, 25 Live, taking in Europe, the US and Canada.
The 106 tour shows were performed in 41 countries and seen by 2 million fans.
Tickets for the final two UK dates sold out in two hours.
Earlier this year, he also toured Australia but it has been six years since he released an album of new material.

Tuesday, November 5, 2013
A young dressed up boy, sticks out his tongue as he celebrates Guy Fawkes day in Thokoza south of Johannesburg, South Africa, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013. Guy Fawkes day is celebrated mainly in England by burning his effigy on a bonfire to mark a foiled plot to blow up Parliament in 1605, but Guy Fawkes Day has a different meaning in Soweto, South Africa, where it is a day of absurd cross-dressing. Comical troupes of children in clumsy make-up and adult clothing sing special Guy Fawkes songs and dance in the streets as they playfully beg for coins from passing admirers. It's not clear why the day is celebrated this way in the townships, but observers agree at least it's good, clean fun, posing no harm to animals or other people.
