In this landmark book, Robert D. Kaplan, veteran correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and author of Balkan Ghosts, shows how American imperialism and the Global War on Terrorism are implemented on the ground, mission by mission, in the most exotic landscapes around the world.
Given unprecedented access, Kaplan takes us from the jungles of the southern Philippines to the glacial dust bowls of Mongolia, from the forts of Afghanistan to the forests of South America–not to mention Iraq–to show us Army Special Forces, Marines, and other uniformed Americans carrying out the many facets of U.S. foreign policy: negotiating with tribal factions, storming terrorist redoubts, performing humanitarian missions and training foreign soldiers.
In Imperial Grunts, Kaplan provides an unforgettable insider's account not only of our current involvement in world affairs, but also of where America, including the culture of its officers and enlisted men, is headed. This is the rare book that has the potential to change the way readers view the men and women of the military, war, and the global reach of American imperialism today.
As Kaplan writes, the only way to understand America's military is "on foot, or in a Humvee, with the troops themselves, for even as elites in New York and Washington debated imperialism in grand, historical terms, individual marines, soldiers, airmen, and sailors–all the cultural repositories of America's unique experience with freedom–were interpreting policy on their own, on the ground, in dozens upon dozens of countries every week, oblivious to such faraway discussions. . . . It was their stories I wanted to tell: from the ground up, at the point of contact."
Never before has America's overarching military strategy been parsed so incisively and evocatively. Kaplan introduces us to lone American servicemen whose presence in obscure countries is largely unknown, and concludes with a heart-stopping portrait of marines in the first battle in Fallujah. Extraordinary in its scope, beautifully written, Imperial Grunts, the first of two volumes, combines first-rate reporting with the sensitivity and insights of an acclaimed writer steeped in history, literature, and philosophy, to deliver a masterly account of America's global role in the twenty-first century.
• Imperial Grunts paints a vivid picture of how defense policy is implemented at the grassroots level.
• Kaplan travels throughout the world where U.S. forces are located. This is not just a book about Iraq or Afghanistan.
• Rather than debate imperialism, Kaplan relies on a keen understanding of history, philosophy, and in-the-field reporting to show how it actually works on the ground.
• Imperial Grunts escapes Washington and shows us what it's like to live with the grunts day to day.
Praise for Imperial Grunts
"One of the most important books of the last several years. Robert Kaplan uses his prodigious energy and matchless reporting skills to takes us on to the front lines with the new warrior-diplomats who use weapons, imagination, and personal passion to protect and advance the interests of the United States. This is a generation every American should come to know." –Tom Brokaw
"Robert Kaplan has brilliantly captured the story of today's U.S. military operating in far-flung places on strange missions. Imperial Grunts is the most insightful and superbly written account of soldiering in the New World Disorder to date. It is a must read for all Americans." –General Anthony C. Zinni, United States Marine Corps (Ret.)
"Kaplan infuses us with a sense of hope about the future. Through astonishing observations, truths, and stories, Imperial Grunts introduces a brand-new way of thinking about the enduring virtue of the American spirit." –George Crile, author of Charlie Wilson's War
"No recent book so well or so vividly portrays the challenges of the modern United States military. With an impressive grasp of the complexities of military missions worldwide, Robert Kaplan exposes the reader to the world of the modern soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine. A must read for both civilian and military leaders." –General Barry R. McCaffrey, United States Army (Ret.), Bradley Distinguished Professor of International Security Studies, United States Military Academy
"Imperial Grunts is vintage Robert Kaplan, combining a deep appreciation of history and wonderfully vivid writing with an infectious wanderlust." –Max Boot, Senior Fellow, National Security Studies, the Council on Foreign Relations, author of The Savage Wars of Peace
"Splendid! This is the finest work in print about today's American fighting men and the challenges they face around the globe. Kaplan's courage in researching this book under combat conditions is complemented by his integrity and great literary skill. Imperial Grunts simply could not be better." –Ralph Peters, author of Beyond Baghdad
"An excellent overview of the United States' far-flung garrisons in the post– September 11 world. . . . Beautifully written, this is imperative reading." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Kaplan at his finest. . . . No other author combines such literary grace with such fearless reporting." —Proceedings
"Imperial Grunts is undoubtedly the next best thing to getting embedded as a reporter oneself." —Commentary
"An admirable portrait of America's volunteer, working-class warrior caste." —The New Yorker
"Riveting reading. . . . Vivid and highly chilling accounts of the danger faced by members of the American military." —The New York Times
"A valuable contribution to the debate over the military's future. . . . An entertaining mix of shrewd military testimony and history." —BusinessWeek
"Great read. Kaplan not only relates the heartbreak and challenges by these selfless Americans but also offers context and insights to the future." —General Wayne A. Downing, U.S. Army (Ret.)
"A devastating critique of meddling by the military brass. . . . If we want to win, Kaplan says, we need to empower the troops and then get out of the way and let them do their jobs." —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Important and revealing. . . . Fascinating. . . . [Kaplan] illuminates the huge and impossible job that America has." —The Providence Journal
"[Kaplan] conveys the tensions between the recognition that victory requires winning hearts and minds and the demands of survival." —Foreign Affairs
"Compelling. . . . A wonderful corrective to the disenchanted troops we sometimes see on the television news." —The Wall Street Journal
"A provocative . . . book for anyone trying to peer behind the headlines. . . . Exhaustive firsthand reporting, great on-the-ground access and a measure of courage." —The Seattle Times
"Kaplan reaches amazing insights, sketched in tight, firmly grounded prose." —Rocky Mountain New

Technology filtration company Polypore (NYSE:PPO) issued updated downside guidance, which was greeted with a very mixed reaction, falling over 13% initially, then ending the day of the announcement up 2%. The firm expects third quarter earnings per share in the low-to-mid $0.30 range, meaningfully lower than the consensus estimate calling for $0.49 per share. Fourth-quarter earnings per share will be in the low $0.50 to low $0.60 range, the upper end of the range a tad below the consensus of $0.61.
The profit reduction isn't much of a surprise given General Motors' (NYSE:GM) decision to idle production of the Chevrolet Volt, which runs on a Polypore lithium ion battery. Though the firm remains confident in the long-term future of lithium ion batteries propelling electric drive vehicles (EDVs), we're not so sure. Given the current technology, EDVs are not incredibly efficient. We've previously mentioned that the Volt has an odd position of not being practical for suburban or even city vehicle owners. Additionally, with traditional combustion engine fuel-efficiency improving rapidly, we do not see the cost of EDV ownership providing consumers with a better value than traditional vehicles.
Nevertheless, we remain optimistic about the firm's other business lines, which include consumer electronics, water filtration, healthcare, and separators in traditional lead-acid batteries. Though we aren't huge fans of the EDV business, we suspect Polypore will retain its market position and benefit from the continued cyclical improvement in auto sales. Regardless, shares score just a 3 on the Valuentum Buying Index (our stock-selection methodology); thus, we aren't interested in adding shares to the portfolio of our Best Ideas Newsletter.

After earthquake, Catholic relief agencies commit to rebuilding Peru
A magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck at 6:40 p.m. about 100 miles south of the capital city of Lima. Homes, churches and buildings, many made from adobe, crumbled under the intense shaking. The Pan American Highway, the country�s major thoroughfare that links Lima with the affected areas to the south, buckled in places and became nearly impassible.
But the human toll was even greater. The worst earthquake to hit Peru in 30 years killed more than 500 people, many buried under tons of rubble. At least 35,000 homes were destroyed, leaving 85,000 suffering people in need of shelter.
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) field staff in Peru mobilized immediately. Working with our local church partner, Caritas Peru, CRS began identifying critical needs and delivering life-saving supplies, including food, water, shelter, blankets, and cooking and hygiene kits, and other essential material. All CRS staff in Peru and many from across South America were dispatched to Peru to help in the effort.
They found that the earthquake took its greatest toll on those who were most vulnerable.
�The people most affected by the earthquake are some of the poorest to begin with,� said Aaron Skrocki, CRS emergency coordinator in South America. �The earthquake has taken what was already a difficult situation and made it worse. That is where Catholic Relief Services comes in. We are there to support the local church helping people get back on their feet and regain their lives as quickly as possible.�
CRS has committed an initial $100,000 and is seeking an additional $1.4 million to support Caritas Peru's response and reconstruction efforts. The appeal is part of a larger Caritas Confederation effort to raise $11 million for immediate relief and long-term recovery, which would ultimately help some 50,000 people.
Caritas Peru has already set up its main centers of operations in Pisco, Ca�ete, Ica and Chinca, where hundreds of volunteers are helping with aid distributions and other activities. Traveling through Chincha, Ica, and Pisco, the three cities nearest the quake�s epicenter, Skrocki and a CRS/Caritas assessment team found widespread destruction in the poorer rural areas where homes are made of adobe. Initial relief efforts were hampered due to the condition of the roads.
In addition, fragile potable water and irrigation systems were destroyed by the tremor. Restoring the systems over the next several months will be critical in allowing displaced families to return to farming the land and watering their livestock.
But for the time being, the emergency response takes precedence. Recovery will be a long-term process.
�Right now we have to focus on the most immediate needs of the Peruvian people,� said Brian Goonan, regional representative for South America. �Once the immediate needs are met, CRS� long-term response will include permanent shelters, continued access to clean water, infrastructure improvements and the recovery and rehabilitation of livelihoods.�
CRS, in partnership with Caritas Peru, has been responding to natural disasters in Peru since 1954. In addition to emergency relief, the agency supports programs�credit unions, health education and agricultural production�that help poor, marginalized communities become self-reliant.

How to Help? Donations can be made:
- On online at www.crs.org.
- By telephone at 1-877-HELP-CRS.
- By mail by sending a check (noting Peru Earthquake Fund in the memo section of the check) to Catholic Relief Services, P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, Md. 21203-7090.

This is a Review website for Auto Bitcoin Cash, click the link below if you are looking for:
- Auto Bitcoin Cash Official Website <——Click Here
If you are interested in getting access to this system but you are not sure just yet, you are at the right place.
With many doggy products out there and being burned myself many times, my goal is to provide you guys with an honest review so that you can make an informed decision without making an investment first.
Click here for Auto Bitcoin Cash.
What is Auto Bitcoin Cash?
Auto Bitcoin Cash is a money-making program currently being offered for free online. Members get to the Bitcoin Cash software.
How does the software work? To use it, you begin by opening an account at a binary broker and depositing $250 into your account. You then connect the software to your account by following the instructions inside the Auto Bitcoin Cash members area and the Bitcoin software then makes trades for you.
How Well Does Auto Bitcoin Cash Work?
Having used the software for a few days, I'm really happy with the results. Sitting at your computer and watching and waiting for it to make trades is incredibly boring (it will only make a trade when the conditions are right, so most of the time it does nothing, but you have to leave your computer running so that it can make a trade whenever it needs to), so I just leave it alone and see what it's done at the end of the day.
I deposited the minimum of $250 into my account to start off with. Today is my fifth day using it, and when I checked my account last night it was almost at $781, so I'm hoping I go over that magic $1000 mark by the end of tomorrow!
After a couple days of building up my account I will change the settings in the software to make slightly larger trades. This means my risk (relative to my account total) will basically be the same, but my daily profit will be greater. I don't know for sure it that's exactly how it will work out, but that's what I have in mind anyway.
All I know about Bitcoin Trading is that it involves selecting 1 of 2 outcomes, and that a trade is obviously profitable when the outcome selected proves to be true. I don't know anything about the factors the software has to consider to make trades because no information is provided about this inside Auto Bitcoin Cash. I would have liked to have known about that kind of stuff before investing my $250 to get the system started, but since they weren't willing to divulge that info I figured $250 was a small enough amount to risk to find out if Auto Bitcoin Cash really works, which is why I went ahead. I'm obviously glad I did!
Click here for Auto Bitcoin Cash
Who is Auto Bitcoin Cash For?
The short answer is that if someone like me can do this then pretty much anyone with $250 to invest can. I've had a little success with Internet Marketing during the last few years, but I knew nothing at all about Bitcoin before I got involved with Auto Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Trading has nothing to do with Internet Marketing at all, it's completely different.
I invested my $250 to my account because I knew that if I lost it all it wouldn't have been the end of the world for me. Yes it would have hurt, but apart from the emotional backlash the loss wouldn't have really meant anything. Life would have gone on as normal.
Take it from me, these are the only conditions under which ANY business investment, of ANY kind, should be made. If you're in a desperate situation financially, and you need that $250 minimum deposit to look after your family, or pay the rent, or anything else at that level of importance, then please for the love of God DO NOT try this or any other business venture. Just wait until your situation is more stable.
Again, all business ventures involve risk, and there's no type of business in the world that I'm aware of where you're guaranteed to make a profit. If there was then everyone would have their own business… I mean who wants to work a job where you're undervalued and underpaid when you can be your own boss and be filthy rich? It's not that simple my friend.
The way I see it, you need 3 basic things in place to be successful in business:
- You need enough money to work with.
- You need to have the guts to be able to put your money on the line.
- You need a proven system in place which puts the odds firmly in your favor to make a profit.
Point number 3 basically means that while you're not guaranteed to make a profit, your chances of doing so make it worthwhile to put your money on the line. The ability to understand this is one of the key things which separates successful business people from those who are forever destined to work for someone else. Being in business beats working a job by a long way, I can testify to that all day long!
Click here for Auto Bitcoin Cash
No Time Like the Present
In business it's always best to do things now rather than later. Leaving something till later is a sure way to never get around to it… it's taken me years (and a lot of wasted opportunities) to learn that!
Grab the free Auto Bitcoin Cash software, fire up the software, and let it start trading now, this very minute. If you leave it till later (providing you actually get around to it if you do) you'll regret having delayed your progress. Building up your account so you can move onto larger trading where you'll make the kind of money you can write home about takes time, so the sooner you get going the better off you'll be.
I recommend starting with the minimum deposit of $250 and building up your account from there. Being patient and keeping your risk to a bare minimum is definitely a winning strategy, I know this first hand.
Wrap Up
Okay, that's all folks! I hope you've found my Auto Bitcoin Cash review helpful. I set out to expose Auto Bitcoin Cash, and if I've been successful in that then there's been a heck of a lot exposure on this page, LOL! Seriously though, if you have any questions remaining feel free to ask them in the comments section below.

Cummins Ranked #1 Among Industrial Companies In Newsweek's 2012 Green Rankings
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today announced that it is ranked #64 among the 500 largest public companies in the United States in Newsweek's 2012 Green Rankings of businesses. Cummins is ranked #1 among industrial companies.
"This recognition by Newsweek demonstrates Cummins commitment to a key element of our corporate mission - demanding that everything we do leads to a cleaner, healthier, safer environment," said John Wall, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, Cummins Inc. "Cummins is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to improve the environment and the communities where we live and work, while producing industry-leading products for our customers. Environmental stewardship is a real and important component of business leadership."
Cummins high rankings can likely be attributed to a number of industry-leading processes and measures it has in place:

- A multi-pronged water management strategy that blends conservation, risk management and community involvement
- Efforts to improve global environmental conditions where it operates through its corporate responsibility focus
- Voluntarily reporting through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) since 2006 along with the new CDP Water Project in 2012
The Newsweek methodology compares the actual environmental footprints, management (policies, programs, initiatives, controversies) and reporting practices of big companies. Newsweek teamed with leading environmental research providers, Trucost and Sustainalytics, to gather and analyze the data.

Miller Park
Attendance: 34,822
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Jim Edmonds entered as an injury replacement for Corey Hart early in the game and went 2-for-3 with three RBI, including the go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning, to lift Milwaukee to a 7-5 win over Washington in the opener of a three-game series.
Alcides Escobar went 3-for-4 with a run scored for the Brewers, who scored six unanswered runs to come away with the victory following a 4-4 road trip.
Kameron Loe (1-1) was credited with the win for throwing two scoreless innings, while Sean Burnett (0-5) took the loss for serving up Edmonds' homer.
Mike Morse paced the Nationals with two homers and four RBI, as the club failed to build off back-to-back wins against Cincinnati.
Neither starter factored in the decision. Chris Narveson gave up five runs on six hits in six innings for Milwaukee, while Washington's Craig Stammen yielded three runs on five hits in five frames.
With the Brewers trailing 5-1 in the fifth, Narveson started Milwaukee's rally with a two-out RBI single and scored two batters later on an Edmonds base hit.
The hosts plated two more off Tyler Clippard an inning later, as Carlos Gomez tripled home a run and came in to make it 5-5 when Escobar doubled to the left-field wall.
Milwaukee went in front for good in the seventh, with Edmonds following Rickie Weeks' leadoff walk with a blast over the right-field wall.
"It's nice to get a chance to play, but hopefully [Hart] won't be out for too long," Edmonds said. "We have a great offense, but we struggled early. We kept plugging away and never gave up."
John Axford backed up Loe's efficient relief appearance with a 1-2-3 ninth for his 14th save of the season.
The Brewers led 1-0 when Ryan Braun's sacrifice fly to center was enough to score Hart, who tripled with one away but injured his thumb diving for a fly ball in the third inning.
Morse belted a three-run blast in the second, then went deep in the fourth after Ryan Zimmerman's run-scoring single in the third.
"That was tough. It just speaks volumes for why you play nine innings," said Nationals manager Jim Riggleman. "[The Brewers] kept at it, and their bottom of the order really came through for them."

Well, to be honest, the warhammer universe isn't really my cup of tea. I can't really put a finger on it, but something about the lore and races and such tends to rub me the wrong way. That said, the game as originally announced sounded very interesting to me. That is, until they gutted it. I'd love to give it a spin if and when the original promise of the game is fulfilled.

Returning from her stint at The London Hospital, Jenny needs all her skill as a midwife when she and Sister Evangelina assist at the birth of the Roberts' baby, who is born with spina bifida. The parents, Doug and Ruby, struggle to understand and accept their son's life limiting condition.
Jenny has never delivered a disabled child and she too struggles to accept the implications the illness could have for the child's future – abandonment and institutionalisation. Nonnatus House meanwhile plays host to an acquaintance of Chummy's – the Reverend Applebee Thornton, an eccentric cleric who befriends Jane.

There were many Suns fans who wanted the team to go after Mario Chalmers as the Kansas guard tumbled to the second round of the draft in June.
Perhaps this week we've gained some insight into why one thing didn't happen and the other one did.
Chalmers and his Jayhawk teammate Darrell Arthur — who also, incidentally, dropped like a rock in the draft — were sent home from the NBA's mandatory rookie transition program on Tuesday. This four-day program is designed to school incoming rookies on topics like finances, substance abuse and sex education.
And why were Chalmers and Arthur sent home and fined $20,000 each? Why is there a chance they will begin their NBA careers with a suspension? Because, according to ESPN.com, they were caught in their hotel room with marijuana and female guests at nearly 3 a.m.
Looks like someone wasn't taking notes in class.
The fact that they were smoking weed and entertaining women just before dawn is one thing. That doesn't make them unique, especially in the NBA.
But these guys couldn't set aside their nocturnal activities for four days, while taking part in a program geared toward their maturation? That speaks to a bigger problem.
Chalmers and Arthur might be subject to drug tests and, in a move that is perfect, they definitely have to return next year and embarrassingly sit among the rookies as second-year dunces.
Who knows? They might even become part of the curriculum.
When Tatum Bell was cut by the Lions on Monday, it was an officially bad day. When he was caught on surveillance tape walking off with the luggage of Rudi Johnson — the man the Lions acquired to replace him — the term "bad day" officially earned a new definition.
So now Bell is unemployed. And as long as Johnson's money, credit cards and underwear (Perry Ellis boxers, according to Rudi) remain M-I-A, the finger of blame will point to Bell and his telephone won't ring (until, of course, injuries force a team to lower the bar).
If Bell was going to bring back Rudi's bags, which he did, why would he not put back the $200 and the skivvies?
That's why I buy part of his story.
Tatum Bell
This is usually the spot where I tell you the Cardinals will finish 6-10 or 5-11, an extremely safe and accurate prediction over the last two decades.
I can't do that this year. Not with more cohesion in the offensive line, the promise of a running game, a better group on paper in the secondary and with Kurt Warner rightfully in possession of the keys to the Big Red offense.
But with a tougher schedule and the fact that this is, after all, the Cardinals we're talking about, all this playoff chatter is daunting. I still see Seattle as the class of the division (granted, nothing to crow about) and the Cardinals left to fight for the wildcard scraps with the rest of the less-than-stellar NFC.
I'm going to go with 8-8 for Arizona, which should keep them in the hunt for the postseason but also gives them a healthy shot at extending the playoff-less streak to 12 years.
• Daunte Culpepper thinks the rest of the league is colluding to keep him out of the NFL, so he retired at the age of 31. Never mind that Culpepper is notoriously hard to deal with. Or that he flamed out in Miami and Oakland after a devastating knee injury. Or that he has an over-inflated sense of his monetary worth. Or the fact that a third of the teams in the league would die for a 6-foot-5, strong-armed signal caller. No, it's obviously collusion.
• You'd like to think that Wednesday's come-frombehind win over St. Louis would give the D-Backs a head of steam heading into their big three-game series the Dodgers. Then again, Arizona rallied from 5-1 down to beat the Cardinals on Monday, only to lay an egg the next night in an 8-2 loss. So instead of relying on ol' Mo, a few gems by Dan Haren and Brandon Webb would be preferred.

Halo Developer Bungie Reveals Destiny and Its Vision of MMO Gaming

"If you have the basic coordination to play a shooter, you can experience all Destiny has to offer," Bungie co-founder Jason Jones explained.
Pretty much says it all - not going to be much of a game, unless you regard interactive movies as gaming experience. And books? Hah.. give a brake. No doubt this bs is going to make them a lot of coin, though. Good for them.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
As far as the chart above is concerned, it tells you just about everything you need to know to make an educated purchase, just from what is listed. It shows the compatibility for the Massive 14 Squared to accommodate notebooks from ten inch screens up to seventeen inch screens. With a width of 382mm, a depth of 262mm, it will just support a seventeen inch laptop. With the feet tucked under this cooler, it will only stand 26mm in height at the back, slightly less in the front due to the slight degree of angle offered as it sits flat. All told, with the pair of 140mm fans, this plastic and steel mesh combination weighs in at only 663 grams.
The pair of fans has nine clear blades each. They are clear to allow the blue LEDs in the hubs to Glow out to the tips of the fins. Each fan will draw 0.46A at 5V to offer a maximum speed of 1200RPM. This cooler also comes with a dial speed controller, allowing the fans to step down to 700RPM at the low-end, and the switch even offers an off position. The fans will make a slight bit of noise with a 21dBA rating, but delivering up to 58.97CFM is quite high for most coolers out there. Also most coolers will not even list a static pressure value, but since the fans have to push through the mesh and into tiny holes in the bottom of the notebook, the 1.01 mmH2O rating will help in that department.
As we look around for pricing and availability information, the first couple of pages are filled with nothing but hits from the AU market. It may be in the way the naming is presented, but no matter how it was searched, the Massive 14 Squared, or Massive 14 Squared, or Massive 14 2, it all comes up with very little other than news blasts.
Digging deeper in the search engines of well know e-tailers, I was able to locate this cooler for sale at Amazon.com. There they are asking $43.12 US dollars, and it seems to be the only listing that we could dig up currently.

The arrest last week of a US national suspected of stealing cash and valuables from a resort marked the start of an ambitious campaign by immigration police to crack down on transnational criminals this year.
Panu: Blitz on transnational gangs
The Immigration Bureau has declared it will weed out as many transnational criminals as it can in 2013 after some of them were found to have used Thailand as a base to commit crimes, bureau chief Panu Kerdlappol said.

Your bro. It's straddles the line of almost too far of a bromance. Both bros are so amazing and so sexual in general it hurts peoples hearts. There is a common and utmost jealousy of this alliance.
Ex. (In a crowd and shouts...) hey bromosexual! (Everyone turns their head and looks with angst because of jealousy) cause your bro alliance is so grand.

read moreTheme: Dreamtime Reality — Season of Hope
Thoughts for Reflection
To travel hopefully is the mark of a pilgrim. To believe one has arrived is the mark of the insecure.
May the food that we eat
And the friends that we share
Give us strength for spreading
True justice and peace.
I woke up this morning and noticed quietness in my mind.
Hey! That little irritating Old Judge God was gone. Gone.
There is a Light no eyes can see…
a sound that can't be heard with ears…
an ancient Loving energy
that vanquishes our tears and fears.
When we pray
come, Lord Jesus
Do we mean to say
come, you malnourished stranger
Especially when I feel stressed, may stillness help me to become calm, so that I can wait for silent consolation.

For the beauty that surrounds us and nourishes us,
For the life that flows within us and among us,
For the bounty before us,
We bow.
As we leave worship, let us together commit ourselves:
– to give thanks each day for the abundant gift and beauty of life
I believe in the hidden God of love,
the spirit of love and compassion
found at the breadth and depth of every human life.

We'll pray for you Atomic!
I have a lot on my mind. I've had nothing but time to think lately. There's so much going on in my life. I start outpatient rehab today--it's what the county is willing to pay for--so, I'm a bit nervous. I've never been in a rehab program before. It's voluntary, so it's not like I'm being forced to do it, but for some reason, I can't shake this feeling that I should be worried about how treatment will turn out.
My grandpa was hospitalized on Friday. Nobody knows what's wrong with him. They found him unconcious and he wasn't breathing. He was finally able to open his eyes on Sunday, but isn't speaking. The doctors say they don't know how much his brain was affected because nobody knows how long he went without breathing. He's still in the ICU. Nobody's heard from my dad since Friday, due to him being a firefighter and he's been at the station the past few nights. I hope he's doing okay.
We'll pray for you Atomic!
sorry to hear about your grand pa man i hope he recovers. and when it comes to anxiety all you can do is try and be postive about things atleast thats what i have read about it since i have been having anxiety attacks recently from being stressed about things.
and i hope rehab works for you man i will keep my fingers crossed for you.
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you...
Isolate and save you from yourself
Thanks you guys! ^_^
I talked to my dad yesterday, he said he's doin' good--despite what's goin' on with HIS dad, so that's pretty cool. I guess grandpa opened his eyes for a while and the doctors thought he was doin' okay on Sunday but, my pops tells me that he's on life support now and is unconcious. I hope that things work out okay. My grandpa's a strong man, so it's strange to see him in this situation.
Well, I was on the phone with my friend Jeremy--on my way out of treatment for the day--and I didn't notice I had received a text from my sister. So, when I get on the bus to leave, I check my messages and the text from my sister said that they're going to pull the plug on my grandpa tomorrow... I had no way to get to the hospital that he's in, so I don't get to say goodbye to him. It's pretty depressing... I didn't get to say goodbye to my grandma before she passed (this last September). I suppose it's out of my control, so I'm trying to accept it.
My friend, Larry, told me that I shouldn't let these recent events get to me to the point of getting back in to old habits--IE: Drinking and smoking. And I don't plan on letting that happen. My grandma dying is what got me drinking pretty heavy this last fall and I don't want to be back in the same position I was in toward the beginning of winter... I just got sixty days of sobriety today and don't wanna ruin it by letting current events be the cause of my relapse. Although, I DID think about it for a little while. But, when I talked to Larry, it reminded me that I'm trying to do better than that.
ANYWAY, I'm gonna try to leave my groups early tomorrow so I can be with my dad and my other brothers and sisters. We, as a family, need to stick together in times like this and I want to be sure everyone's doin' okay. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight... As soon as I wake up tomorrow, if I DO sleep, I'm gonna be waking up knowing that I lost another relative and it pains me to know that. My brother and sister (Mark, Jr. and LaToya) seem to be taking this better than I imagined. However, I dunno how Denzel, Dorothy (who's named after my dad's mother who passed when I was seven), and my step-siblings are taking it. So, I'm gonna go over there and try to be supportive; maybe even obtain some support.
I haven't seen my grandpa in about six or seven years and I couldn't be there for him in the hospital. I don't know how I should feel about that. A HUGE part of me is kicking the other part of me in the teeth. I feel so rotten for not being there--though it's out of my control--and it really, really bothers me. I've always looked up to my grandpa. He was always lookin' out for the "younger brothers". Makin' sure we all learned some kind of trade and if we didn't, he'd suggest we do so until he was blue in the face. He'd ask us what we want to do for a living and I would always tell him that I wanted to be a cartoonist. He'd always ask in reply, "Do they have room for black folks in that field?" God, I love that man! I'm really gonna miss him. I already do...
I don't even know why I'm babbling anymore. Does any of this make any sense? Whatever, it needed to come out. Anywho, keep me and my family in your prayers. I'm gonna meditate and play some Pokemon--try to take my mind off of things.

ABC News' Matt Stuart Reports: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney claimed he was "full of high hopes" for today's New Hampshire primary while meeting with voters in Manchester, N.H..
The former governor of Massachusetts claimed that this was a "neck-and-neck race," and a "close one," despite the latest CNN/WMUR poll showed Romney trailing, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., at 31 percent and Romney at 26 percent.
While Romney is usually careful to say he won't predict a win, he did claim, "Republicans are gonna vote for me, and the Independents are gonna get behind me, and that we're gonna end up winning this thing."
Romney added that he was, "very pleased by the support I'm getting, particularly from undecided voters," saying his staff told him last night that they had "about 100,000 [people] they called in the last day alone." Romney staffers later clarified that the figure included calls and home visits.
As he was leaving, Romney turned to his supporters and said, "We'll have a celebration tonight."
Romney added he plans to stay in the race at least through Super Tuesday, February 5th, saying that while, "There are always possibilities that it could be resolved faster than that," he didn't expect to "get landslides in all the remaining states, so that being the case, I think I'm all the way through February 5th."

Cubic boron nitride (cBN), the second-hardest known ceramic material next to diamond, possesses the high hardness, thermal stability and chemical inertness desirable for ferrous material machining. For the majority of machining applications, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) ceramics are provided in bulk shape or tipped form, and they are fabricated using high-temperature and high-pressure (HT-HP) processes.
In spite of its high cost, PCBN is one of the main choices for ferrous material machining. In practical applications, especially the turning of hardened steel, the cutting edges of PCBN tools are often chipped at the micron scale. To circumvent the edge-chipping issue, a sizable T-land or K-land is typically placed on the cutting edge. This change of edge profile usually induces high contact stress and thus generates excessive heat on the workpiece, which often degrades its surface quality by forming a white layer and produces entangled chips (commonly referred as a "bird nest") that scratch the machined surfaces.
Tailoring Chip Breakers
Chip breakers deliver favorable performance benefits to both the machining process and end user applications. These features include an improved surface finish by properly controlling chip flow and breakage, as well as a reduced chance of white layer formation by lessening the contact stress at the tool-workpiece interface. However, due to its structural rigidity, it is difficult to produce PCBN compacts in complex geometries such as chip breakers, despite some encouraging progress made by creating simple grooves as alternatives to chip breakers on PCBN compacts using laser processing and electrical discharge machining.To date, applying cBN as a coating or thin film is the only practical option to tailor chip breakers of different geometries. Various physical and chemical vapor deposition (PVD and CVD, respectively) techniques have been explored for synthesizing cBN film. However, no significant progress has been made or reported in terms of achieving thick cBN films. Driven by the need for cBN in complex shapes and viewing a thick cBN coating as a cost-effective alternative to PCBN tools for machining applications, major cutting tool companies worldwide have invested in unremitting development efforts.
A major advancement in synthesizing thick cBN ceramic composite coatings (5-20 µm) has resulted from the application of an innovative synthesis and deposition process.* This process combines the electrostatic spray coating of cBN particles as a coating preform, followed by the chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) of a ceramic binder, such as titanium nitride (TiN), titanium carbonitride (TiCN) or titanium carbide (TiC), to provide the desired application-specific coating chemistry, thickness, geometry and properties.
Synthesizing the Coating
Figure 1 shows examples of carbide inserts with different chip breakers coated with a cBN composite coating of about 14 µm. The carbide inserts feature percentages of cobalt binder ranging from 2.5 to 12.0%. The coating clearly shows the features of chip breakers and is conformal to the surface profile of the carbide substrates.The composite coating is realized in sequential steps by starting with the deposition of a porous cBN particle coating preform (with a particle size of less than 2 µm) using electrostatic spray coating (ESC), followed by the CVI of TiN as a binder. ESC deposition involves the physical spraying of micro- and nano-sized particles. The particles are charged at the exit of the spray gun and exposed to an electric field generated by a pointed electrode.
With its combination of hardness and toughness, the composite coating adheres well to the carbide substrate and does not show particle pull-out or coating delamination at a critical loading of 10 kg in scratch testing. A typical cross-section profile of a cBN composite coating is illustrated in Figure 2. It is uniform with approximately 50% cBN particles.
The cost of the coating is comparable to conventional tool coatings. As a complement to PCBN inserts, the cBN composite coating on carbide inserts with different geometries widens the opportunities for cutting tools while being less expensive than PCBN compact or tipped inserts.
Turning AISI 4340 Steel
When turning AISI 4340 hardened steel (50-52 HRC) at the machining conditions recommended for PCBN-tipped inserts listed in Table 1, the cBN composite coating-coated chip breakers produced more than 40 minutes of tool life without reaching the flank wear limit of 0.20 mm (0.008 in.) specified by ISO 3685. PCBN-tipped inserts were also tested at identical conditions.A Complementary Solution
Cubic boron nitride particle composite coatings can be readily applied to cutting inserts with chip breakers through the use of patented coating technology. In straight turning of AISI 4340 hardened steel, the coated chip breakers produced a tool life equivalent to PCBN-tipped flat inserts under identical conditions.The machined surface with chip breakers has a surface finish approaching 0.8 µm without the formation of a white layer. Thus, the ceramic coating-coated inserts can be an important complement to PCBN ceramics, offering extended tool life, improved machined surfaces and better economics.

Ford Bronco is a SUV (sports utility vehicle) that was produced in 1966. Production of the car stopped in the year 1996. Since the initial production of the car, it has been categorized into two distinct groups: early broncos that were manufactured between the year 1966 to 1977 and full size broncos that were produced between 1978 to 1996. To find more info about this car, visit Wikipedia or read 2016 Ford Bronco – Great Car for a Long Journey.
The Bronco was first introduced into the market as a competitor to standard SUV vehicles like Jeep CJ-5 and the International Harvester Scout. The Bronco was designed and built on it's own platform with major redesigning being done in 1978. The new design was big in size and used a shortened Ford F truck series.

As if SUVs are not sophisticated enough, Chrysler has made another automobile revolution with its 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee that comes with spectacular upgrades and alterations. Since its creation, it has already captured the hearts of both automobile enthusiasts and ordinary end users with its beautiful design and state-of-the-art core features. But with all its lavish qualities and specifications, this superb SUV is actually pocket-friendly (read 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee: One of The Best American SUV for more info).
The headlamps are clearly slimmer compared to its predecessors, as well as the grilles are now body-colored. The revisions in the lower fascia gave the front end an updated appearance. Regardless of the changes in its face, the Jeep still retains its rugged appearance that is recognized by a lot of people. In addition, this new SUV features wider dual exhaust tips and larger LED tailights than past models. A lower rear styling is added in each and every trim in the car. Even the liftgate has been improved with a bigger spoiler and revised badge. Not to mention, it has a brand new sheet metal at the same time.

Re: Kubrat Pulev pro debut
Kubrat is comming to Germany just few days before every fight (max a week time). Before that he is training under his old coach Mikhail Takov (who was coaching Tontcho Tontchev during times when he won European superfeatherweight title in 2001. Also he coached Kindelaki and some other fighters with Panix promotions/Fondu contracts).
I am not so sure if it will be a good idea to come to Wegner, who may want to change his style. Pulev is absolutly complete fighter with more then 250 high level amateur fights from light-heavyweights to Super Heavyweiths since 1999. Now he is very fresh in such 6 rounders, but it may be different when it comes to 8 or 10 rounders against opponents from Gbenga calubur. It may be needed more then just a month to prepare the tactics and condition.
About Helenius, i remember him, when he was amateur and was comming to Bulgaria to fight Strandja cup tournament. During this times he was coached by his father. Maybe it's the same now and just Wegner comming in the ring

I have successfully create the saddle. Problem is, it doesn't recognize the flow of the pipe. How can I let it behave like pipe support? Pipe support only one connection point on pipe run, but still recognize the direction of the pipe run. Look at the image.(I like the one on left knows the flow of pipe and insert it like the one on right.)
Hi, John
Have you find the answer?
No worries. I got it to work now.
When create the block, just need to make sure the direction you want to match the pipe is parrallel with X axil. If it is match with X, the pipe run will be correct.
Am I right? Or I am just accidently correct? Please confirm.
