I got tired of looking around for a sub enclosure for my 2011 Tacoma, so I decided to build my own. It wasn't very hard all things considering, it just takes a lot of planning and calling Mr. Marv to figure out some basic stuff. I made the box for a Rockford Fosgate 10" P3D2-10.
The materials required are:
- 3/4" MDF 24"x48" sheet (which can be purchased at Lowe's/Home Depot/etc)
- **Wood shaver - Lesson learned. (If the edges don't lineup perfectly you can shave them. This can be purchased at Lowe's/Home Depot as well)
- Saw horses (Not required but useful)
- DAP Automotive Silicone Sealant (seal interior and exterior of enclosure)
- Wood Glue (Titebond II)
- Wood Screws (about 1-1/2" shank length)
- Carpenters Square
- A saw or dremel with cutting bit
- I used a compass to get my circle perfect for the cut out
- The carpet can be purchased at most Craft stores or automotive Upholstery Store. Can do various colors to match interior as well. You can also use vinyl to cover your enclosure.
- 3M or LockTite Industrial Aerosol Glue
- 12" Ruler
- Washers and Metric M7-1.0 bolts to mount box on rear console bracket. (About 1-1/2" shank length) When setting up the bracket's holes on the bottom of the box, put the bracket flush on the box use a pencil and shade the holes. Then off set those holes back to almost flush with where you used the pencil to shade the holes. Make sure its centered. Don't drill the holes to be flush against the box it wont line up when you install it and you will have to drill more holes to make it line up. - Lesson learned for me.
* You need to know the optimum or recommended volume for your subwoofer BEFORE you build the enclosure.
*Pre-drill all holes or the wood will split.
*I assembled the center pieces first and then sandwiched them with the two outer L shaped sides. The front and rear face pieces spanned the total width of the sandwiched outer L shaped pieces. Make sure when doing the widths of the front and rear faces, that add the thickness of the two L shaped side pieces to the width of the faces.
Draw out all the shapes on your 3/4" MDF:
Cut out all Pieces:
All but face Assembled:
Finished Box with face cut out:
Sealed and Carpeted box (I used my finger to smooth the silicone out after I made beads on all the corners - Use gloves its annoying to clean off your hands after your done):
Ensure it fits (You can bolt it two the rear console's bracket at this point):
Close up of finished installed product (To install the sub after you have you box bolted down to the bracket, you will have to remove your center console which is 2 bolts and 2 screws under the forward cup holder. You will also have to remove the Power inverter or the bracket below where the console mounts to be able to have room to install the sub.):

I would like to thank Mr. Marv and 84Hilux for their help with constructing my box!

WASHINGTON, April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More consumers may be looking to purchase homes with a shift in several key housing market indicators, according to Fannie Mae's March 2012 consumer attitudinal National Housing Survey. More Americans now expect both home rental and home purchase prices to increase over the next year. Nearly half of consumers expect higher rental prices, the highest number recorded since monthly tracking began in June 2010. Thirty-three percent expect home prices to increase, up 5 percentage points since last month, and the highest percentage recorded in over a year. In addition, confidence in consumers' views of their own finances is stabilizing—for three straight months—44 percent believe their personal finances will get better over the next year. These trends may be providing Americans with an increased sense of urgency to buy a home as 73 percent of Americans now believe it is a good time to buy a home, up from seventy percent in February.
"Conditions are coming together to encourage people to want to buy homes," said Doug Duncan, vice president and chief economist of Fannie Mae. "Americans' rental price expectations for the next year continue to rise, reaching their record high level for our survey this month. With an increasing share of consumers expecting higher mortgage rates and home prices over the next 12 months, some may feel that renting is becoming more costly and that homeownership is a more compelling housing choice."
Homeownership and Renting
- Thirty-three percent of respondents expect home prices to increase over the next 12 months, a five percentage point increase from last month, the highest level over the past 12 months.
- On average, Americans expect home prices to increase by 0.9 percent over the next 12 months (up slightly since last month).
- Thirty-nine percent of Americans say that mortgage rates will go up in the next 12 months, a five percentage point increase from last month.
- The percentage of respondents who say it is a good time to buy rose by three points to 73 percent, the highest level in over a year, while the percentage of respondents who say it is a good time to sell rose one point to 14 percent this month.
- On average, respondents expect home rental prices to increase by 4.1 percent over the next 12 months, a significant increase since February, and the highest number recorded to date.
- Forty-eight percent of respondents think that home rental prices will go up, a three percentage point increase from last month and the highest number recorded to date.
- Sixty-six percent of respondents say they would buy their next home if they were going to move, up one point since last month, while thirty percent say they would rent, up one point versus last month.
- The rise in confidence in the economy's direction leveled this month, with 35 percent responding that they think the economy is on the right track, consistent with February's total. The percentage who say the economy is on the wrong track rose slightly from 57 percent to 58 percent.
- Only 12 percent think that their personal financial situation will worsen in the next 12 months, consistent with February as the lowest value in over a year, and tied with January 2011 for the lowest to date.
- Twenty-one percent of respondents say their income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago, up 1 point versus February, while 63 percent say it has stayed the same - consistent with February's values
- Thirty-four percent say their expenses have increased significantly over the past 12 months (a slight increase of one percentage point).

So, my friend's brother-in-law works at a pawn shop. He gets a lot of deals on firearms. He sees all sorts of stuff come in. I was told this sad story tonight... Recently, a guy brings in a firearm to sell to the pawn shop. A clerk takes it in for $250. The clerk (which works at the other of the two pawn shop locations) calls the brother-in-law of my friend to ask him if he wanted to purchase this firearm before they put it out on the shelf. He knows the brother-in-law collects classic firearms... The brother-in-law doesn't want to drive all the way over to the other location for a dud, so he asks what it is. The clerk says it's a BAR. Thinking it might be a regular, modern day Browning BAR (they have a lot of models labeled with BAR, not just the military rifle), he asks some other details. From the sound of it, this is a genuine WWII BAR. The brother-in-law races over to the pawn shop's other location to see it and buy it. When he gets there, he finds out it IS a BAR, but it is a full auto BAR and was not registered by the 1986 cut-off date. The clerk who took it in had no idea it was even class III. He wouldn't have been allowed to take in the FA BAR if he had known. Not wanting to get the store and himself in a heap of BATF trouble, they call the batf boys and have them take it away. Another classic firearm is now gone for good. It is so sad to think that BAR will be destroyed. I said to my friend that his brother-in-law should've bought it and immediately destroyed the receiver. The parts alone are worth three times that $250 price tag.

That is not sad, it is a HORROR STORY! Oh, the humanity!
Horrible! I will have nightmares about this...
Gut wrenching. Thats a sad story man. Is there any way they could have saved it from the Gestapo?
I need to start a pawn shop...
I can see the commercial now. J.D. is walking past a rack of rusty dusty Stens, in a Sally Struthers wig, sobbing. "Won't you take just a minute of your time to adopt one of these needy firearms?" "For just $250, less than the price of 4 cups of coffee at Starbucks, you could give one of these children the care it takes to stop further barrel pitting."
I would have had a hard time doing the right thing in that situation.

"Contrary to your fantasy, I did not ask for a state to be forced to do something."
You are trying to force the state to do something- you are trying to force it to recognize something that it doesn't recognize. Nobody is banning "gay marriage" because from the state's perspective "gay marriage" doesn't exist. You mention Loving V Virginia. Just comparing the background of the cases and how you want to apply it, there was an actual ban in place on interracial marriage. The state sought to punish those in violation of it. That's not happening here- I don't know of an instance where a gay couple claimed to have gotten married, got a certificate from one state, moved to another, then got punished there for just simply stating that they were married. Maybe they filled out their taxes as being married contrary to what they know were the state's taxation rules but just saying they were married... Maybe you know something that I don't...
"If the marriage disappears because the couple has relocated, or merely is passing through, and one of them dies. To whom does the estate go? If there are children, do they go with the remaining parent, or are the now wards of the state?"
Unless whomever cares can somehow can get the state that issued the marriage license to take responsibility for these issues and then enforce their authority over whatever decision they make, the marriage never existed. Lots of people are not married. More and more are not married each and every day. That's how these issues are resolved- the way they always have been for people not married. You're really going to force Virginia to arbitrate over issues on the existence of things for which it doesn't think exists? Might as well throw time travel into the mix.
What if a person gets a permit to conceal their firearm on their person in one state, then travels through another state with that firearm concealed? Should that person be punished in the new state? Must that new state recognize their permit, or can that new state punish them with prison time? Just wondering how this all works where one state recognizes something, like marriage, and then every other state must recognize the same thing- like marriage. But it doesn't seem to work for firearms. Does this all fall under the 14th?

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.
ARGENTINA/ECON - UPDATE 1-Argentina says bond issue possible, depends on market
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT
Email-ID | 2055614 |

BUENOS AIRES, May 11 (Reuters) - Argentina could still place a $1 billion
global bond, depending on market conditions by the end of the week,
Economy Minister Amado Boudou told a local radio station on Tuesday.
South America's No. 2 economy has been planning to issue a new bond
parallel to an exchange of defaulted debt but wants to price the bond at a
yield of less than 10 percent.
That pricing is seen difficult as the debt crisis in Europe has pushed
investors toward less risky investments.
The possibility "is open, it will depend on market conditions by Friday,"
Boudou told Radio El Mundo in a telephone interview from New York, where
he is promoting Argentina's debt swap offer.
Argentina has not tapped international debt markets to raise money for
more than eight years, following a 2002 default on some $100 billion in
It recently launched an offer of new bonds and cash to investors who still
hold $18.3 billion in non-performing bonds. Most of the defaulted debt was
tendered in a 2005 restructuring, but some investors held out and sued to
try to recover the full face value of their bonds.
Argentine financial newspaper Ambito Financiero reported on Tuesday that
Boudou will announce on Friday a delay in the issue of the $1 billion 2017
bond until market conditions are more favorable.
In April Argentina's country risk -- which measures the spread between
benchmark bonds and comparable U.S. Treasuries -- dropped below 600 basis
points in anticipation of the swap. But the spread widened again and stood
at 748 basis points on Tuesday morning 11EMJ.
Institutional investors have until Wednesday to enter the swap without
being penalized, and Argentina is scheduled to announce their
participation rate on Monday. Retail investors have until June 7 to enter
the exchange.
Although Argentina's budget is tight as the government raises social
spending in a pre-election year, economists say it can meet rising debt
obligations because it has tapped Central Bank reserves.

The University of Miami Frost School of Music supports a number of athletic bands, including the Frost Band of the Hour and Gale Force Winds.
The Frost Band of the Hour is the marching band of the University of Miami and the Miami Hurricanes athletic teams. In addition to performing at Miami Hurricanes' home games, members also travel to post-season bowl games and all expenses are paid by the university. There are no auditions to join the Band of the Hour, you simply need prior musical training…and we'll even teach you to march if you haven't been in a marching band before!
Gale Force Winds is the
pep band component of the athletics band program that performs at men's and women's basketball games, women's volleyball matches, and various university outreach events and on-campus pep rallies. These bands draw their membership form the marching band and include traditional band instruments plus a rhythm section of bass, guitar, and drum set. Auditions for the pep bands occur during the annual summer Band Camp, usually held the week prior to classes starting in August.

We're fishermen, it's always something, right? If it's not the weather we're blaming, it's the current, or the moon or the rain. Well, don't misconstrue the title of this column. Nobody is complaining this time. We just have to reformulate our fishing plans to get back on the same calendar as the fish. Fishing has been very good this summer for a multitude of species. The only thing that has been a little tricky is the normal migration pattern of the pelagic species seems to be running slightly behind compared to past years.
As I pull out of the commercial canal, I turn to my patrons and say, "Hang on to those hats." "You, young lady, better hold on to that Clemson hat extra tight, because I don't turn around for Clemson hats." I enjoy kidding around with the folks who go fishing with me.
By Sarah Sue Ingram Beacon correspondent First you have to hook him, then you have to bring him in, then you have to net him. "It's hard to net one that size by yourself," Douglas Hubbard said. But he managed to do all three things and capture for posterity the citation flounder he caught July 24 in the Shallotte Inlet. The fish weighed 5.4 pounds and measured 24 inches long, according to the official weigh station at Sheffield's Seafood and Grocery on Ocean Isle Beach.
Just as we were coming into the middle of last week, the fishing and weather were finally starting to work in our favor. The torrential rainfalls of a couple weeks ago had turned the waters brown and left nearshore fishing at a near standstill. However, as the weather settled, we were starting to see schools of Spanish mackerel and bluefish move back close to shore, a sign we have not seen much of this season.
The alarm clock's annoying beep goes silent as I slap it for the third time. As I roll over to get just five more minutes of sleep, my cellphone is ringing. I answer it, hearing the question, "Are we going fishing in these conditions today captain?" I wipe my eyes clear and look out the window. The palm trees are bending toward the ground and dark clouds are coming in off the ocean. I reply, "How bad do you want to go?"
Capt. Barrett McMullan said it right last week: "The fish are already wet." I thought that was a witty start to a fishing report that I'm sure was difficult to formulate. But one thing you can count on is that nothing stays the same.
Blue sky with popcorn clouds in the distance gives us a temporary break from the rain. High pressure continues to build to our east, stalling low-pressure systems in the Ohio Valley. This pattern has continued to keep the moisture flowing from the Gulf of Mexico, keeping our area wet.
We are supposed to be in a June weather pattern, waking up with a light northeasterly land breeze and falling asleep with a light southwesterly sea breeze. Instead, we have been falling asleep with a strong southwesterly sea breeze slapping the side of the house and waking up to the distant rumble of thunder nearly every day this week. The forecast changed little for the next five days, calling for a strong southwesterly flow and possibly strong thunderstorms each evening.

Children explore contexts in which they can practice sharing as sign of Unitarian Universalist faith. They discuss ways they share with family, friends, neighbors, the congregation, and the world. They understand that they are better at sharing now than when they were younger, and that this is a sign of maturity.
Children learn about the flower, water, and bread rituals of Unitarian Universalist congregations and discover how these rituals highlight sharing as a UU value. Use the Alternate Activities to tie this session into any ceremonies of your congregation.
For more information contact email@example.com.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

Confused about running shoe technology? Check out our easy-to-follow breakdown of running shoe terminology here
- The PureCadence 2 is for runners who need more stability, yet want to experience the feel of a natural foot strike.
- The anatomical last (the shape of the sole) mimics the shape of the foot to provide a glove-like feel, thus allowing the shoe and foot to work as a single unit.
- A flexible Nav Band wraps over the instep to comfortably secure different foot shapes in place.
- An extended PDRB® "roll bar" in the midsole is bio-mechanically engineered to support the over-pronating foot as it transitions from mid-foot to toe-off.
- An anatomical, full length BioMoGo DNA Midsole gives the entire midsole adaptive cushioning and responsiveness based on your unique weight and pace, ensuring comfort for many miles.
- The Ideal Heel shifts the contact point forward, for more ground clearance. This aligns the joints to encourage optimal energy return and reduce internal stress.
- A toe box split allows the big toe to function independently and engage the runner's natural balance.
- The Omega flex groove extends through the forefoot, enhances flexibility, provides an effortless forefoot ride while still offering great cushioning and midsole integrity, allowing the runner to really engage the foot and get a greater sense of connection to the ground.
- The open mesh upper offers maximum breathability.
- A carbon rubber outsole keeps the shoe lightweight and durable.
- 18mm heel, 14mm forefoot = 4mm drop from heel to toe
- weight:7.7 oz in women's size 7

The current study focuses on understanding key factors controlling geochemical export in eight diverse coastal watersheds at seasonal and annual time scales. Geochemical, atmospheric and hydrologic data across a range of hydro-climatic regimes and varying land uses were investigated and relationships analysed. A hyperbolic dilution model was fitted for each watershed system to evaluate discharge–concentration relationships. Nitrate concentration effects were observed in watersheds exposed to high atmospheric deposition rates as well as agricultural watersheds, whereas urban watersheds showed nitrate dilution effects. Dilution patterns were observed for calcium, magnesium and sulfate for almost all watersheds. Seasonal loads for almost all constituents were noted to be mainly driven by hydrologic seasonality, but are also dependent on inputs (atmospheric deposition and land use sources). Understanding the primary controls on hydro-chemical interactions is critical for developing and refining predictive water quality models, especially in coastal watersheds where sensitive downstream ecosystems act as receiving waters for upstream pollutant loads.

Rated 4.7 out of 5Â by 16reviewers. Rated 4 out of 5Â by Styling Can use as sunglasses and safety glasses I like wearing these safetyglasses on sunnydays. They have good coverage around the eyes and stylish look. August 30, 2011 Rated 5 out of 5Â by LeoGirl Safety with Style These are the nicest glasses that I have ever seen for safety glasses. They are stylish and look more like sunglasses than safety glasses. They are durable and held up really well when I accidentally dropped them on the driveway. August 26, 2011 Rated 5 out of 5Â by ann1 A must for the Texas sun This was the perfect product for my husband and I to use when we were cutting down tree limbs on a sunny day in Texas. When we had to look up at the tree and the tree shavings were falling down, the glasses had a perfect fit and no glare to help us complete our job safely. Thank you. August 25, 2011 Rated 5 out of 5 3M Tek performance safety eyewear Great for weed whipping in the yard and also lawn mowing under and around trees. Highly recommend this product. August 19, 2011 Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gaen Very cool looking and funtional These glasses are very cool! I used them once my sunglasses broke and they didn't make me feel funny. It's nice to have a lightweight pair of glasses for house chores. July 22, 2011 Rated 5 out of 5Â by Leti Classy looking! My husband tried these out & here's what he had to say - These protective eye glasses are much classier looking than earlier ones designed by 3M. The fit is snug so feel comfortable that the needed protection is there. Protection from the sun was excellent. July 17, 2011 Rated 4 out of 5Â by Tati Good protection and look! My husband has being using these glasses to mow the lawn and he is loving it! It's a good protection and nice look! July 17, 2011 Rated 5 out of 5Â by Austin Great Gift! I was looking for safety glasses for my husband to wear while cutting the grass and found these glasses. They are perfect! He likes them because they have a dark tint and look like regular sunglasses, and I love them because his eyes will be safe from flying debris. Great! July 14, 2011 Rated 4 out of 5Â by tico94 Great protection and style Normally safety glasses are good for protection but really ugly. This product is the exception!. They have a cool style and keep your eyes safe and protected from the sun light. July 13, 2011 Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lonestar10 Very fashionable and protective! Slick design! Whenever my wife goes out of the house, she makes sure to wear these glasses. These glasses are very lightweight and EXTREMELY comfortable! July 11, 2011 |

On the first day of giveaways, Turbine gave to me... a lifetime VIP!

I tried FE that first 2 weeks they were allowing free trials and at the time I was not very impressed. This time around though I'm actually finding myself interested in the game, story, the open character development scheme, crafting, vehicles ... the whole freaking game, more or less.
I can't really put my finger on what's changed between then and now. Maybe it's the culmination of a year's worth of updates. Maybe my gaming tastes have shifted.
What interests me most about Fallen Earth? Must I really pick just one?

Played it in beta and was really disappointed.
Got me a trial account 5 month ago and bought it after one day of playing as i really loved it.
When i got to sector 2 i realized i screwed up my faction and would have to go through a hardcore grind to get all AP which made me quit.
Yesterday the patch that makes that whole faction grind obsolete was released so i would be up for 3 month of game time for sure!

Would not mind taking a look at it again.

Postapocalyptic theme, craft, armor plus weapons and the whole Fallen Earth staff (respect to the their communication with players and fans, it is awesome). Best MMO/FPS game ever! Thank you!

I like the crafting and the atmosphere, which are always a good base for immersion into the gameworld.
Posted: Dec 16th 2010 10:19AM Jensim said
I enjoy the feel of realness in the game - when you leave your vehicle, you need to return to it before leaving the area, since you keep a lot of your stuff in it, of course.. And even though I do spend most of my time studying, I like that I am able to play the game when I afford, and craft things while I am offline. Great system! =)
Posted: Dec 16th 2010 10:24AM alleychatte2002 said
I love post-nuclear apocalyptic games - Fallout and the like. This game looks like it has an abundance of gratuitous violence to temper the very necessary crafting skills. It really intrigues me and I'd love to try it! Just a little difficult to do internationally though.:(

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.

The war in Libya is over. More precisely, governments and media have
decided that the war is over in spite of the fact that the fighting
continues. The unfulfilled expectation of this war has consistently been
that Gaddafi would capitulate when faced by the forces arrayed against
him, and that his own forces would abandon him as soon as they saw that
the war was lost. The celebration last week, with Presidenta**s, Prime
Ministers and the media proclaiming the defeat of Gaddafi will likely be
true in due course. The fact that it is not yet true does not detract from
the self-congratulations.
For example, the Italian Foreign Minister reported that only 5 percent of
Libya is still under Gaddafia**s control. That appears a trivial amount,
save for this report from the Italian newspaper La Stampa reported that
a**Tripoli is being a**cleaned upa** neighborhood by neighborhood, street
by street and home by home. Meanwhile, bombs from above are pounding Sirte
where, at least according to the French, Muamar al-Gaddafi has managed to
arrive, although it is not known how. The strategically important town of
Bali Walida**another possible hiding place according to military commands,
as well as a hub on one of only two remaining exit routes to another
Gadhafi stronghold in the desert town of Sabha - is being encircled.
To put it differently, Gadhafia**s forces still retain military control of
substantial areas. There is house-to-house fighting going on in Tripoli.
There are multiple strong holds with sufficient defensive strength that
forces cannot enter them without significant military preparation. Quite
apart from the location of Gaddafi, which is unknown, if he is in Bali
Walid or Sirte or Sabha, his capture is the subject of substantial
military operations, including Nato air strikes. When Saddam Hussein was
captured he was hiding in a hole in the ground, alone and without an
army. Gaddafi is still fighting and posing challenges. To put it another
way, the war is not over.
It could be argued that while Gaddafi retains a coherent military force
and significant territory, he no longer governs Libya. That is certainly
true and significant, but it becomes more significant when his enemies do
take control of the levers of power and govern Libya. It is unreasonable
to expect that they should be in a position to do so a few days after
entering Tripoli and while fighting still continues. But it does raise the
critical question, which is whether the rebels have sufficient coherence
to form an effective government or whether new rounds of fighting among
Libyans can be expected even after Gaddafia**s forces cease functioning.
To put it simply, Ghaddafi appears to be on the way to being defeated but
is not yet defeated, and the ability of his enemies to govern Libya is in
severe doubt.
Given that the dying fighting? is far from over it is interesting to
consider why Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron, the major players in this war,
all declared last week that Gaddafi had fallen, implying an end to war,
and why the media headlined wara**s end. To understand this it is
important to understand how surprising the course of the war was to these
leaders. From the beginning, there was an expectation that NATO
intervention, first with a no fly zone, then with direct air strikes on
Gadhafia**s position, would lead to a rapid collapse of his government and
its replacement with a democratic coalition in the east.
Two forces combined to lead to this conclusion. The first was human rights
groups outside governments, and those factions in foreign ministries and
the state department who felt an intervention was necessary to stop the
pending slaughter in Benghazi. This faction had a serious problem. The
most effective route to a rapid end to a brutal regime was military
intervention. However, having condemned the American invasion of Iraq
designed, at least in part, to get rid of a brutal regime, it was
difficult to justify rapid military intervention on the ground. Moral
arguments require a degree of consistency.
In Europe, the doctrine of a**soft power,a** has become a central
doctrine. In the case of Libya, finding a path to soft power was
difficult. Sanctions and lectures would probably not stop Gaddafi, but
military action ran counter to soft power. What emerged was a doctrine of
soft military power. The idea of a no fly zone was a way to engage in
military action without actually hurting anyone, except those Libyan
pilots who took off. It satisfied the need to distinguish Libya from Iraq
by not putting invading and occupying Libya, but still putting crushing
pressure on Ghadaffi. Of course a no fly zone was an irrelevancy and on
the same day the French began bombing Gadhafia**s forces. Libyans on the
ground were dying, but not British, French and American soldiers. While
the no-fly zone was starkly announced, the segue to an air campaign just
sort of emerged over time without a clear decision point. Of course no one
thought the no fly zone would work and the air campaign was put in place
from the beginning. For human rights activists, this kept them from
addressing the question that air strikes always cause unintended deaths
because they are never as accurate as on might like. For the governments,
it allowed them to be seen as going to what I called previously an
a**immaculate intervention.a**
The second force that like this strategy were the Air Forces. There is no
question of the importance of air power in modern war but there is a
constant argument over whether the application of air power by itself to
achieve desired political ends without the commitment of ground forces.
For the air community, Libya was going to be the place where they could
demonstrate its effectiveness.
So the human rights advocates could focus on the endsa**protecting
Benghazi-and pretend that they had not just advocated the commencement of
a war that would itself leave many dead. The political leadership could
feel that they were not getting into a quagmire but simply a a**cleana**
intervention. The air forces could demonstrate their utility in
delivering desired outcomes.
The question of the underlying reason for the war should be addressed
because stories about oil companies competing for vast sums of money have
circulated. These are all reasonable stories in the sense that the actual
story remains difficult to fathom and I sympathize with those trying to
find a deep conspiracy to explain all of this. I would like to find one
too. The problem is that going to war for oil was unnecessary. Gaddafi
loved selling oil and if the governments involved told him quietly that
they were going to blow him up if he didna**t make different arrangements
on who got the oil revenues and what royalties he got to keep, Gaddafi
would have made them. He was as cynical as they come, and he understood
the subtle idea that shifting oil partners and giving up a lot of revenue
was better than being blown up. There is no theory out there that
explains this war by way of oil, simply because it was not necessary to
actually to go war to get whatever concessions were wanted. So the
storya**protecting people in Benghazi from slaughtera**however hard to
believe, is the only rational explanation for what followed.
To return to our main theme, it must be understood that given the nature
of modern air warfare, NATO forces in small numbers had to be inserted on
the ground from the beginninga**actually at least a few days before the
beginning. The identification of targets with sufficient precision for
modern air strikes involves special operations teams identifying and
guiding munitions to targets. The fact that there was relatively few
friendly fire accidents indicates that the standard operational procedure
was in place.
Along with these teams, warfighting doctrine in these circumstances
required that Special Forces teamsa**forces trained to work with
indigenous forces by training them and in most cases leading them (very
informally of course) in battle. There were ample reports in the early
days of this war that special operations teams and special forces were on
the ground doing weapons training and organizing the fighters opposes to
The problem in all of this was two fold. First, Gaddafi did not fold his
tent and capitulate. He seemed singularly unimpressed by the force he was
facing. Second, his troops turned out to be highly motivated and capable,
at least compared to their opponents. Proof of this can be found in the
fact that they did not surrender en masse, maintained a sufficient degree
of unit coherence anda**the final proofa**held out for six months and are
still holding out. The human rights groups expectation that an isolated
tyrant would break in the face of the international community, the view of
the air forces that air strikes would shatter resistance, and the view of
political leaders that an isolated tyrant facing the might of NATOa**s air
forces would collapse in days turned out to be false.
Part of this was due to a misunderstanding on the nature of Libyan
politics. Gaddafi was a tyrant but he was not completely isolated. He
had enemies but he also had many supporters, who either benefitted from
him or believed in his doctrines. Another part of this was the general
belief that capitulation for the ordinary solider (some mercenaries from
the south) would lead to their slaughter, and the belief of the leadership
that surrender meant trials in The Hague and prison. The human rights
communities belief in an International Criminal Court trying Gaddafi and
men around him, gives them no room for retreat. Men without room for
retreat fight hard and to the end. There was no way to negotiate
capitulation unless the United Nations Security Council itself approved
the deal publicly. The winks and nods that got dictators to leave in the
old days isna**t there any more. All countries that are party to the Rome
Statute are required to turn a Gaddafi over to the ICC for trial.
Therefore, unless the UNSC publicly does a deal with Gaddafi, which would
be opposed by the human rights community and would become ugly, Gaddafi
will not give upa**and his own troops wona**t either, as there were
reports last week of executions of Gadaffi troops. True or not, fair or
not, that is not a great motivator for surrender.
The war began with a public mission of protecting the people of Benghazi.
This quickly morphed into a war to unseat Gaddafi. The problem was that
between ideology and military claims, the forces dedicated to the war were
insufficient to execute the mission. We do not know how many people were
killed in the fighting in the past six months, as NATO is very quiet on
that score and probably doesna**t know, but by pursuing the war in this
way, soft military power certainly prolonged the war and likely caused
many deaths, both military and civilian.
After six months, NATO got tired of this and we wound up with the assault
on Tripoli. The assault appears to have consisted of three parts. The
first was the massing of NATO special operations troops (in the low
hundreds, not the thousands) who guided by intelligence operatives in
Tripoli, attacked and destabilized the forces in the city. The second part
was an information operation in which NATO made it appear that the battle
was over. The bizarre incident with Gaddafia**s son Saif al Islam being
announced capture, and then showing up in an SUV non-captured, was part of
this game. NATO wanted it to appear that the leadership had been captured
and Gaddafia**s forces broken to convince those same forces to
capitulate. Saifa**s appearance was designed to signal his troops that
the war went on. Following on the special operations strikes and the
information operations, forces from the western rebels entered the city to
great fanfare, including the obligatory celebratory fire (do they not
understand that what goes up will indeed come down?). The worlda**s media
chronicled the end of the war, as the Special Ops teams melted away and
the victorious rebels took the bows. It had taken six months but it was
And then it became obvious it wasna**t over. Five percent of Libyaa**an
interesting calculationa**was not liberated. Street fighting in Tripoli
continued. Areas of the country were still under Gaddafi control. And
Gaddafi himself was not where his enemies wanted him to be. The war went
Libya in itself is not important to the world, although it matters to
Libyans a great deal. A number of lessons emerge. First, do not assume
that tyrants lack support. Gaddafi didna**t govern Libya for 42 years
without support. Second, do not assume that the amount of force you are
prepared to provide is the amount of force needed. Third, eliminating the
option of a negotiated end to the war by the means of international courts
may be morally satisfying, but it causes wars to go on and casualties to
mount. It is important to decide which is more importanta**to alleviate
the suffering of people or punish the guilty. Sometimes it is one or the
other. And above all, dona**t kid the world about wars being over. When
Bush flew in to a carrier to a a**mission accomplisheda** banner, but the
war went on the damage to him was massive. Information operations may be
useful in persuading opposing troops to surrender, but political
credibility bleeds away when the war is declared overa**and the fighting
goes on.
Gaddafi will likely fall in the end. NATO is more powerful then he is and
enough force will be bought to bear to bring him down. The question of
course is whether there was another way to do it that would have cost less
and achieved more. Leaving aside the theories on oil, if the goal was to
protect Benghazi and bring down Gaddafi, greater force or a negotiated
exit with guarantees against trials in The Hague would likely have worked
faster with less loss of life than the application of soft military power
As the world contemplates Syria, this should be borne in mind.

Sunset's Nicholson wins Teacher of the Year honor
Thursday, May 22, 2014
The Craig Daily Press presented its Teacher of the Year Award to Susan Nicholson on Thursday morning, highlighting the good work of a woman who dedicated 28 years of her teaching career to Sunset Elementary School.
"I have lived the life I wanted to live. I've enjoyed it," Nicholson said through tears. "I'm very honored."
Nicholson, who is Sunset's physical education instructor, is retiring this year and won the newspaper's award by popular vote after dozens of students and community members nominated her for the prestigious honor.
"Teacher of the year is a great honor for the school and a great honor for the students," Sunset Principal Laura Vinger said. "Susan works hard to help the students grow and be successful in life."
Sunset students gave Nicholson a standing ovation when Craig Daily Press Managing Editor Noelle Leavitt Riley presented her with the award.
"It was exciting to see all the students honor her," Leavitt Riley said. "The newspaper received dozens of nominations, but Nicholson rose to the top. Moffat County School District has an amazing group of teachers, and the paper would like to thank the community for highlighting the good works of its educators."
Nicholson holds a huge spot for Sunset in her heart — she attended the elementary school as a child and was able to work with teachers who helped her grow into the woman and teacher she's become.
Although it's bittersweet, she's excited to start a new chapter in her life.

5 Tips For Breaking Up With A Friend
These 5 tips for breaking up with a friend may not heal all wounds, but these tips can get you one step closer to an amicable break up. Are you sure that going separate ways is best for the friendship? If you responded "yes" then you know what to do. Breaking up can be hard to do, even with friendships.
- Exit a friendship diplomatically. If you need to tell a friend "so long," the last thing anyone wants is a screaming or pushing match. To avoid a brawl, talk with them and share what bothers you including why you have decided to end the friendship. If they do not take it well, be gentle or kind and see where that takes you. If there is nothing left to do but to walk away then don't turn back. Or at least until things have calmed down.
- Making memory markers a thing of the past can be done by creating new memories. Meaning, don't stop living life, even when a friendship ends. The only way to truly break up with most friends is to stop the encouragement. Remember the good times, but make sure to move forward to make even better times.
- Arrange a property swap with the future ex-friend. If you were close friends, chances are they have things of yours and there is no reason to not claim what's yours. However, be nice about it, not pushy.
- Break communication, it may be the only way to avoid falling back into the friendship. Breaking communication means do not answer email or phone messages from the friend, unless they are of the upmost importance.
- Leave the door open for occasional returns. You never know when you'll miss them until something bad happens, we've all been there. If you are sure that you will never notice your friend's absence then perhaps the door is already shut.

Technical difficulties and a sudden rainstorm played havoc with the scheduling at the annual Jack Brow Memorial Track and Field Meet on Canada Day weekend.
But while the computer problems delayed some of the proceedings, they couldn't slow down Kelowna's Jerome Blake.
The 18-year-old sprinter continued his meteoric rise in Canadian track and field world with an upset victory in Sunday's 100-metre senior division final and a silver-medal finish in the 200 metres a day earlier.
Blake, a native of Jamaica who arrived in Kelowna with his family in the spring of 2013, edged the favoured Keefer Joyce of Kelowna by 2/100th of a second in Sunday's feature race with a clocking of 10.76 seconds.

.- The president of the Chilean Bishops' Conference, Bishop Alejandro Goic, encouraged Chileans this week to seek the national unity that was achieved 25 years ago during the country's transition to democracy.
"In 1985, a climate of polarization undermined national unity, leading to confrontations between people that went to violent extremes," the bishop recalled.
Nevertheless, he explained, "amidst that scenario of pain, a group of visionary leaders strove create a minimum of understanding between the different groups that were seeking a peaceful return to institutional normalcy." Then-Archbishop of Santiago, Cardinal Juan Francisco Fresno, worked together with a number of public officials to achieve this end, the bishop said.
Dialogue, the acceptance of differences, and respect for dignity were the pillars of that process, he continued, noting that years later, John Paul II would say, "Chile has a vocation to understanding and not confrontation."
"May the democratic unity that we achieved through dialogue half a century ago translate into other agreements our society needs, especially in the overcoming of inequality and the protection of the poor and most vulnerable," Bishop Goic said.
He then turned to the unity Chile is currently experiencing as a result of the efforts to rescue the trapped miners. "During this month of solidarity, the unity, hope and faith of these miners, their families and those who have untiringly worked to find them … is a source of pride," the bishop said.
