Need help with living room decorations
saipiyerJanuary 13, 2013
Hello, we are in dire need of ideas as how to decorate our living room. The walls are yellow gold and earthy red. We have 2 couches and a wall mounted entertainment center. We have a couple of standing lamps that we really dont like but need some ideas (any kind of wall-mounted lighting is out as we dont have budget for new electrical). If you need additional pics, pls let me know. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Definitely paint over the yellow. Maybe more subdued like a taupe. I would put a large piece of art, whether its a framed poster or painting etc, over th couch. In between the windows, add a long mirror. Get oatmeal colored curtains if you can. They have the BEST textiles at Ikea, and get them in all cotton. I'm assuming you will get rid of the treadmill???? On the shelves, add books and perhaps earthy baskets to keep magazines in. Think about painting the coffee table an earthy red then put a large bowl on the top . Find some pole lamps at Goodwill or another thrift shop, buy two and paint them black, but get matching shades. Put those on either side of the couch. Where the treadmill is, you can turn that in to an office type area, or put two side chairs with a table in the middle. Find another lamp you like at a thrift shop and put that on the table. Good luck and have fun.
I think you should paint the walls one colour. You can pick a colour out of your rug. Also the piece over your chair should be a little bit larger. If you have to keep it there try putting it lower and centre over the chair. If you can tidy up some of the wires,and move the exercise equipment to another location that would tidy it up a bit. You can also purchase some table lamps, and an arch lamp. If you can post more pics that would be great
Some random ideas. Move the treadmill and the folding to a spare bedroom or basement. I like the taupe color in your hall, I'd paint the living room one or two shades darker than the hall to blend the spaces. Recessed lighting would be great in this room. I'm not crazy about the three stair-steped items between the windows, replace those with one vertically-oriented item (maybe the piece over your sofa turned sideways). A larger piece of art over the sofa. Lowe's sells under cabinet lighting that is pretty reasonable. Adding some of that inside the entertainment center would be cool. Also, add some on top facing up for mood lighting and night time viewing. Not crazy about the miscellaneous plants in the window. I think you could have a great living room without spending too much money.
To widen your living room I would paint the walls a light gray with a creamy white ceiling. Remove the bike from the room. Have staggered picture frames on the back wall or a large accent picture. Make sure the picture frames are the same color and uniform I would suggest a different rug-- a more contemporary feel. Change the curtains to a softer color with a transitional or modern feel. You can get things to update your space from ikea or overstock.
Lose the drapes and install roman shades. Pop some bright colorful pillows. The three piece of art are kind of low. I would light color from the rug to replace the yellow. If you like the bright color then maybe a new jazzy rug is in order with the red and yellow.
Wow thank you all for your great ideas. Yes the elliptical machine is not for decoration and we can easily move it to another one of our rooms. We also had been thinking of getting table lamps but werent sure of what type/color - cream? brown? Like the idea of putting a mirror or just flipping the back wall piece sideways to put in b/w the 2 windows. We'd also like to re-paint the heating grates under the windows. any suggestions as to what color? will post some more more pics soon. Also any other ideas as to how to decorate the bookshelf? we were thinking of lighter shade pieces, to contrast with the dark brown. Also, for the window sills and baseboards, what color scheme? dark? gray-ish? chocolate? beige?
Once again, thanks and pls keep the ideas coming! We also need ideas for our foyer (pics coming soon!)
Once again, thanks and pls keep the ideas coming! We also need ideas for our foyer (pics coming soon!)
Paint all the walls in beige or tan be bring light and calmness to the space. Remove the curtains and everything away from the window (too much clutter) and place blinds on them along with panels in a nice tan, rust or beige color thats in the rug. Remove everything from the room except the two sofas, tv and tv stand, and coffee table. Remove all art from the walls its too small. If you can, place the 2 sofas facing each other. Place the coffee table in front of the brown sofa. Place a side table beside each sofa along with a lamp . Add accent pillows with colors that are in the rug (pillows with stripes, bold print and solid color also to blend the 2 sofas and rug together. Add a small plant a big book to the coffee table or a group of 2-3 candles and a picture book. Place a big abstract picture or big flower picture on the wall where the brown sofa is now. Do you have any book cases or another long side table that could go along the wall where the brown sofa is now.

Human nails consist of living cells, and their primary responsibility is to protect one's fingers and toes from damage.The presence of nail fungus can sometimes impede this goal.Such infections are due to the overgrowth of dermatophytes, a form of bacteria. Certain molds and yeasts can also cause this type of infection.Fungi typically thrive in warm, moist environments such as showers, steams rooms, hot tubs and heated swimming pools, especially those that do not have appropriate ventilation.
Itraconazole and terbinafine are two of the most commonly used on today's market. They are classified as systemic drugs, which mean they can be used to treat the infection on many levels.
In addition, systemic drugs circulate throughout the person's entire body. Such are taken orally in the form of pills or capsules, and the standard dose is 250 milligrams.
Topical treatments are also excellent remedies for fungal infections.The ingredients used in most topical ointments are amorolfine and ciclopirox, both of which inhibit the growth of bacteria.
When compared to medications that are taken orally, topical ointments have a higher success rate, making them the most frequently prescribed solution on today's market. However, topical ointments must be used consistently for a minimum of thirty days to ensure that the best results are achieved. Occasionally, a doctor or dermatologist may prescribe both oral and topical treatments, especially if one is experiencing a particularly severe fungal infection.
Home remedies are also an option. In certain cases, home remedies can cure such infections entirely, eliminating the need for prescription medications. Such remedies include hydrogen peroxide, witch hazel, Listerine, tea tree oil and vinegar.However, such remedies should not be used full strength, but rather mixed with equal parts water for best results.If a person finds that his or her infection is not clearing up as it should, it is best to seek the advice of a healthcare professional who can recommend the most appropriate solution.
Natural methods
Typical causes include poor circulation, excessive perspiration and continuous exposure to moisture.Vinegar, tea tree oil and hydrogen peroxide are a few of the natural methods that can cure this condition.
Vinegar is one of the most commonly used natural fungus remedies. White or apple cider vinegar is combined with water to create a foot soak. To be fully effective, vinegar and water is mixed in even amounts.Because of the acidic nature of vinegar, the itchiness is relieved and the foot's PH balance is restored.
Tea tree oil is known for having anti-fungal properties. It comes in many forms like oil, soaps and shampoos. It is important to make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying the drops. Visible results are seen in about a month.
Hydrogen peroxide has antiseptic and microbial properties. Hydrogen peroxide should be mixed with equal amounts of water.This should occur for several days. Hydrogen peroxide reduces the rate of fungal growth and kills it.
A fungal infection can be an unattractive and bothersome ailment.And also do not listen to the other people , not having proper knowledge can also lead to the negative side.

great golf ball
work just like a pro v1x good distance and great reaction on the green
November 7, 2014
Just as good as the 2014/15 model.
Except for cosmetic differences in the exterior markings, these balls sound, feel, fly, and stop the same as the "new generation" balls. So save some money, thanks to this clearance sale from Dick's, and play as good a ball as there is to be had anywhere.

This Oreo Cake…well, it's heaven.
This cake, my peanut butter mousse pie, and many other treats I haven't shared (yet!), were all made in the same 4 day period.
Every night, after we ate dinner, my dad, my best friend Paige, and I would be sitting on the couch, watching TV, or a movie, or doing whatever, and at some point, one of us would walk over and bring out the cake and the pie. The three of us would stand around the counter, shaving off small slices of each. And more small slices, and more, until we were all so full of chocolate, peanut butter, and oreos that we thought we would burst. [Read more…]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2013) |
Georgia Cracker refers to the original American pioneer settlers of the Province of Georgia (later, the State of Georgia), and their descendants.
In the late 19th century and the early part of the 20th century, Georgia ranchers came to be known as "Georgia Crackers" by Floridians when they drove their cattle down into the grassy flatlands of Central Florida to graze in the winter, stopping where the citrus groves began. In order to get the cattle's attention they became very adept at cracking a bullwhip.
The term "cracker" was in use during Elizabethan times to describe braggarts. The original root of this is the Middle English word crack meaning "entertaining conversation" (One may be said to "crack" a joke; a witty remark is a "wisecrack"). This term and the Gaelic spelling "craic" are still in use in Ireland and Scotland. It is documented in Shakespeare's King John (1595): "What cracker is this... that deafes our eares / With this abundance of superfluous breath?"
By the 1760s the English, both at home and in the American colonies, applied the term "Cracker" to Scotch-Irish and English settlers of the remote southern back country, as noted in a passage from a letter to the Earl of Dartmouth: "I should explain to your Lordship what is meant by Crackers; a name they have got from being great boasters; they are a lawless set of rascalls on the frontiers of Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia, who often change their places of abode." The word was later associated with the cowboys of Georgia and Florida, many of them descendants of those early frontiersmen.[1]
Among some Georgians, the term is used as a proud or jocular self-description. Since the huge influx of new residents into Georgia from the northern parts of the United States in the late 20th century, "Georgia cracker" has become used informally by some white residents of Georgia of Scotch-Irish and English stock, to indicate that their family has lived there for many generations.
However, other Georgians find the term highly offensive and insulting: "'Cracker' has a murky history but generally describes poor whites. The slur is widely considered an insult among white southerners. . . . . for plenty of rural, white southerners, "cracker" is a demeaning, bigoted term . . . the equivalent of redneck."[2]
The "Cracker Party" was a Democratic Party political machine that dominated city politics in Augusta, Georgia, for over 25 years, and exerted considerable political influence for roughly four decades after its 1946 defeat.[3][4][5][6]

March 21st, 2007 at 6:58pmThanks to make me discover The Scandinavian Design Center. As a huge fan of Scandinavian design, I am always looking for wonderful stores to get the stuff I want. Brick and mortar stores do not always carry the boldest colors and patterns that I like.
The Snowroom creates amazing products. It is a brand that I will be watching to see what they come up with. Great find, once again.

New 'Thunder-Thighs' Dinosaur Discovered
Fossils in Sam Noble Museum Collections
Feb. 22, 2011
LONDON – A new dinosaur named Brontomerus mcintoshi, or "thunder-thighs" after its enormously powerful thigh muscles, has been discovered in Utah, USA. The new species is described in a paper recently published in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica by an international team of scientists from the U.K. and the U.S. Primary author Mike Taylor is a researcher in the Department of Earth Sciences at University College London. Co-authors are Mathew Wedel, assistant professor of anatomy at Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona, Calif.; and Richard L. Cifelli, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, University of Oklahoma.
A member of the long-necked sauropod group of dinosaurs which includes Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus, Brontomerus may have used its powerful thighs as a weapon to kick predators, or to help travel over rough, hilly terrain. Brontomerus lived about 110 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous Period, and probably had to contend with fierce "raptors" such as Deinonychus and Utahraptor.
The fossilized bones of two specimens – an adult and a juvenile – of Brontomerus mcintoshi were rescued by researchers from the Sam Noble Museum from a quarry in eastern Utah that had been looted and damaged, possibly by commercial fossil hunters. Paleontologists speculate that the larger specimen is the mother of the younger and would have weighed around 6 tons (about the size of a large elephant) and measured 14 meters in length.
The authors classified the new genus based on an incomplete skeleton, now held at the Sam Noble Museum, including bones from the shoulder, hip, ribs, vertebrae and some unidentifiable fragments. They used the bones to identify Brontomerus' unique features, primarily the shape of the ilium (hip bone), which, in the case of Brontomerus, is unusually large in comparison to that of similar dinosaurs. The wide, blade-shaped bone projects forward ahead of the hip socket, providing a proportionally massive area for the attachment of muscles. The shape of the bone indicates that the animal would likely have had the largest leg muscles of any dinosaur in the sauropod family. This is reflected in the name Brontomerus, which literally means "thunder thighs." The dinosaur's species name, mcintoshi, was chosen in honor of John "Jack" McIntosh, a retired physicist at Wesleyan University, Conn., and lifelong avocational paleontologist.
"Brontomerus mcintoshi is a charismatic dinosaur and an exciting discovery for us," said Taylor. "When we recognized the weird shape of the hip, we wondered what its significance might be, but we concluded that kicking was the most likely. The kick would probably have been used when two males fought over a female, but given that the mechanics were all in place it would be bizarre if it wasn't also used in predator defense."
Other marks on the bones give additional clues to Brontomerus' lifestyle and environment. Wedel explained: "The shoulder blade of Brontomerus has unusual bumps that probably mark the boundaries of muscle attachments, suggesting that Brontomerus had powerful forelimb muscles as well. It's possible that Brontomerus mcintoshi was more athletic than most other sauropods. It is well established that far from being swamp-bound hippo-like animals, sauropods preferred drier, upland areas; so perhaps Brontomerus lived in rough, hilly terrain and the powerful leg muscles were a sort of dinosaur four-wheel drive."
While Brontomerus' unusual hip structure and enormous thigh muscles place it on the list of most extreme dinosaurs, it is also a significant find for another reason. It is one more in a number of finds over the past 20 years that challenge the previously held idea that sauropods began to disappear in the Early Cretaceous period.
"Because sauropods were the most abundant dinosaurs found during the Jurassic period and the rarest during the Early Cretaceous, there's long been the perception that sauropods were successful in the Jurassic and were replaced by duckbills and horned dinosaurs in the Cretaceous," explained Wedel. "In the past 20 years, however, we are finding more sauropods from the Early Cretaceous period, and the picture is changing. It now seems that sauropods may have been every bit as diverse as they were during the Jurassic, but much less abundant and so much less likely to be found."

My answers are: Yes, and Maybe.
Let us look at how retailing works. The retailer buys either from a manufacturer or a distributor. There will be standard discounts which will vary according to the trade and type of product. Basically it will also depend on how quickly the items are expected to sell and the risk if they remain unsold. For example, a newspaper or milk may be sold to the retailer on "sale-or-return" so effectively the retailer only pays for what they have sold, while the distributor takes back the day-old newspapers or the week-old milk. The retailer is expected to pay quickly but will always get a credit for the returns, often before the account has to be paid. That can mean they do not have any capital tied up but the percentage profit they make, whether calculated on the price paid by them (the cost price) or the price paid by the customer (retail price) is small.
On the other extreme, in the fashion industry, as it was traditionally, the stock changes either twice or four times a year, and has to be ordered well in advance of the changing season. When prices were stable the clothing store would bundle up the winter clothes as summer approached and store them until next winter. But fashions change and changes were encouraged by the trade, so the fashion end of the retail market would expect to sell the new season's clothes at a big mark up, at least double the price they paid to the distributor.
They would know that not everything would sell quickly but they needed stock in their store through the season. Their takings would become less as the season progressed and it was normal to offer discounts and, at the end of the season to sell whatever was left in a clearance, often at half price or less. That would mean they made no profit on the last items sold, maybe even made a small loss. But overall there would be a normal profit, provided they made the right decisions when they made the initial order. As an example, let's say they bought 100 dresses at $10 each. That's $1000 paid out. If the first 50 sell at $20, that's their cost back, and the remaining sales, let's say they all only sold in the clearance, at $10 (which is "at cost" or a genuine 50% off what they had been selling for, then overall they have made a gross profit of $500 on that original $1000. Out of that they have to pay all the expenses of running the shop.
The retailer buys most stock knowing that they are going to have to discount in the end so they buy on the basis that they must make a certain average margin across sales of the entire stock. Then they make guesses, based on experience, about how much of the stock they will be able to sell at "full price" and how much at various discounts. They then set up their "full price" (which might be +100% or even more of the wholesale purchase price) and their various discounts to give them -- on average -- the margin or gross profit they must make on selling the entire stock.
Now it starts to get complicated, because we have to cope with the opposing forces of increasing production costs, a rising currency conversion rate, changes in fashion and whether there will be a new, improved version of the product coming soon. With rising inflation and/or a falling dollar it will not cost $1000 to replace what cost they bought previously. It may cost $1050 or $1100, and those extra dollars have to come out of the profit from the previous season.
If changes are the other way, and the replacement equivalent will cost $900 or $950 then it may seem that retailer is doing better and has more than his $500 overall profit. We tend to have a well informed public and if it is an electronic product instead which is being cleared at "50% off" then even that apparently huge discount may not be enough, and so discounts rise even higher. The superceded TV or tablet may have to be almost given away once an announcement of the new version has been made. Much better to have sold it for whatever the retailer could get a few weeks earlier.
Things get even more complicated when a distributor offers increased discounts according to the quantity purchased. The savvy retailer needs to make a lot of calculations and include some informed guesswork to decide whether the extra discount is worth the added risk. If the extra discount is sufficient, then the retailer has to decide whether the incentive to the customer should be offered when he buys or after he has sold his expected number of items at what is now an additional profit. This decision may also be affected by whether the product has a use-by date.
Manufacturers make mistakes, especially with variations such as flavours or colours. They may make arrangements to advertise a "special" and give the retailer an incentive to have greater stocks at that time. The retailer with cash reserves may buy then knowing that he'll sell more "on special" and have sufficient left bought at the better price to cover normal sales for a period thereafter. This will not work if the manufacturer has packed the "special" with different wording, such as a date-limited competition.
My real estate friend was fond of saying "there's a price for everything". The skill was finding that price. To the savvy customer who does not mind having last season's electronic gear or fashion, and the product with an expired competition date may be at an attractive price in a clearance store.
If we are to continue to have suppliers in the future, whether on-line or physical stores, then it is not the profit on any individual item which matters, it is whether the retailer is making sufficient overall to pay for the replacement stock plus all the other costs, including a wage for the retailer, and thus progress into the next trading cycle.
This brief summary does not cover all the reasons why you can legitimately find products at "50% off", but I have a couple of further warnings: Beware statements such as "up to 50% off" where many items may be at full price or at a much lesser discount, and beware the second or third tier chain trick of have legitimate branded products packaged without a normal accessory or tool and compared with the price of the full item "elsewhere".
You should also consider reasons for purchasing other than price. Will the place you are buying from help if you have problems? Or just be willing to show you how a device works, or set it up as well as delivering it? Price isn't everything.

There might still be some Castlevania.
- Splatterhouse: A young woman is kidnapped and imprisoned in a monster-filled house, and her boyfriend is murdered in the same attack. Meanwhile, a man possessed by a demonic mask is destroying everything in sight. The twist is that the dead boyfriend is the possessed maniac, and is actually the protagonist of the piece.
- Devil's Crush: Fight a transforming demon, dragons, giant skull monsters, undead knights and a weird druid-looking cult. In a pinball game. Devil's Crush is simultaneously the creepiest and the most metal album-cover like game in the era pre-Crüe Ball.
- Ghouls 'n Ghosts: Gotta have one of these on the list. These are the canonical Halloween games, starting in a graveyard and ending with your inevitable death, a lone skeleton in boxer shorts, murdered without remorse by a playful red demon. And speaking of Firebrand, you can get his own game, Gargoyle's Quest, on 3DS.
- Castlevania: Rondo of Blood: All right, there's a Castlevania game on here. I warned you. But if you haven't played this lost gem of the series, it's worth me being a total hack in a Halloween feature. Originally released on the PC Engine CD-ROM in Japan, it didn't come to America until this Virtual Console release and the Dracula X Chronicles on PSP. Not only is it a great game, it's an interesting transitional step between vintage Castlevania and Symphony of the Night.
- Kid Chameleon: It's a game about wearing masks! In the game, putting on a mask transforms you into a different person with different abilities. I can dress up like a knight in real life, but somehow it doesn't allow me to scale walls. On the upside, it might prevent me from dying when I try.
- Summer Games II: Just kidding.

How many al Qaeda fighters are in Afghanistan again?
The banner for al Qaeda's propaganda tape, titled "Winds of Paradise - Part 5, Eulogizing 5 'Martyrs,'" from the Ansar forum. |
Today's announcement by ISAF of the killing of al Qaeda "associate" Sabar Lal Melma in Nangarhar is interesting not only because of his status as a former detainee at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility [see Thomas Joscelyn's excellent writeup here], but also because of this interesting admission buried at the end of the portion of the press release dealing with his death:
Coalition security forces have captured or killed more than 40 al Qaeda insurgents in eastern Afghanistan this year.
This is interesting because US officials, including former ISAF commander and soon-to-be CIA chief General David Petraeus, have, for the past year plus, insisted that only 50 to 100 al Qaeda operatives remain in Afghanistan.
At both The Long War Journal and Threat Matrix, we've contested this estimate multiple times. See the following posts for a few examples:
- How many al Qaeda operatives are now left in Afghanistan? (April 26, 2011)
- Al Qaeda never left Kunar, and other problems with US intel (April 7, 2011)
- Analysis: Al Qaeda martyrdom tape shows nature and extent of terror group's reach in Afghanistan (Oct. 28, 2010)
- Analysis: Al Qaeda maintains an extensive network in Afghanistan (July 29, 2010)
- Counting al Qaeda (July 10, 2010)
- The 'only 50 to 100' al Qaeda in Afghanistan fallacy (July 1, 2010)
In April of this year, the US military claimed that 25 al Qaeda operatives were killed throughout all of Afghanistan during a one-month period. Today, we're told that 40 al Qaeda operatives were killed in the east alone.
Keep in mind that if 40 al Qaeda operatives have been killed/captured this year in just the east, and 25 al Qaeda operatives were killed/captured throughout Afghanistan during a one-month period earlier this year, then the total number is somewhat higher than 40. For instance, we know that an al Qaeda leader and associate of Osama bin Laden, and two of his aides were captured in Balkh province in June, and 10 al Qaeda fighters were killed and several more were captured in Ghazni in the southeast in May. But we'll use the number of 40 regardless, to be generous.
Back in April, The Long War Journal requested information from ISAF on the nature and strength of al Qaeda in Afghanistan, how the US military views the threat of al Qaeda and its affiliate groups, and if it considers groups like the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan a threat to US national security. The answers we were given were vague (and the answers largely focused on the Taliban, not al Qaeda). So, we'll repeat these general questions that were posed in How many al Qaeda operatives are now left in Afghanistan? from earlier this year. The questions have been slightly modified to account for the new data:
- Why has the estimate of al Qaeda strength in Afghanistan remained static for more a year?
- What is the intelligence community's present estimate of al Qaeda strength in Afghanistan? Can the estimate be revised downward to 10-60 al Qaeda operatives currently in Afghanistan given the results of operations since the beginning of the year?
- Does US intel believe that most of the 50-100 (or is it now 10-60?) al Qaeda operatives are clustered in the east?
- What is the intelligence community and the military's definition of al Qaeda? Does this only include operatives who have personally sworn bayat (allegiance) to Osama bin Laden or Ayman al Zawahiri?
We don't expect an answer. But we do know, based on information released by the US military on operations against al Qaeda, that the static estimate of 50 to 100 operatives in country doesn't pass the basic logic test.
READER COMMENTS: "How many al Qaeda fighters are in Afghanistan again?"
Posted by Graham at September 4, 2011 12:32 AM ET:
I would imagine that the number fluctuates as operatives are killed and new ones arrive to replace them.
Posted by Bill Roggio at September 4, 2011 12:35 AM ET:
Graham, you would think the estimate would fluctuate, but it hasn't we've heard the same thing for more than a year, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Posted by Matt at September 4, 2011 4:19 AM ET:
My question is why would the US military be purposefully hiding the real number of AQ operatives? Or could it be that the US military really doesn't know how many AQ there really are in Afghanistan? Thanks Bill, for asking the US military what they consider/definition of an AQ operative in Afghanistan is.
Posted by Max at September 4, 2011 8:43 AM ET:
Of course we know what it means, Bill! Al-qaeda must have moved somewhere else! Generals are never wrong, you know that (with all due respect to a great general, Dave Petraeus).
Posted by Joe at September 4, 2011 9:00 AM ET:
Very interesting article, thanks.
What caught my eye right away was the banner for as-Sahab's video.
There was a banner similar to this one perhaps two years ago at most, and it featured far more al-Qaeda operatives who were not from Pakistan/Afghanistan.
Perhaps the focus now for al Qaeda is to try and hide their influence as much as possible in the Af-Pak region and thus do what Islamic State of Iraq/Al Qaeda in Iraq did by developing and morphing into an almost completely indigenous insurgent group.
There could be up to 500 average al Qaeda members, fighters in Af-Pak at any given time, but they might not even advertise it to their local Pashto comrades in arms for fear of an intel leak that results in "the night soldiers" (Specops) paying a visit.
Posted by My2Cents at September 4, 2011 8:38 PM ET:
Could hinges on the definition of the word 'operative', i.e. most al-Qaeda casualties may be classified as something else, like �foot soldiers�, only the leaders are considered operatives. So you have 40 or so al-Qaeda �operatives� and another 400 or so al-Qaeda non-�operatives�. And most of the replacement leaders would not be in Afghanistan, but across the border in Pakistan organizing and training new recruits.
So every time they kill an �operative� the count in Afghanistan goes down for a week or 2 until his replacement arrives and they are back up to 40 operatives. Unless we can do something about the supply in Pakistan it will not change.
Posted by Graham at September 4, 2011 10:18 PM ET:
What motivation could they have for downplaying AQ's presence in AfPak?
Posted by Villiger at September 5, 2011 12:18 AM ET:
Graham, to allow for a quick declaration of victory and exit should the political need arise at any time.
Thats one possibility, the rest remains a mystery to me.
At any rate, AQ and the Taliban are joined at the hip.
Posted by Jain at September 5, 2011 4:39 AM ET:
I think especially the last question is relevant. We need a clear definition of what al Qaeda and 'al Qaeda operative' is.
Is any Arab who volunteers to fight in Afghanistan a member of al Qaeda? Are we really talking about an 'organization' with a centralized command and finance structure, or rather a decentralized phenomena of extremism/transnational Islamic volunteers?
Killing al Qaeda operatives is roughly the -casus belli- for US troops in Afghanistan. If they wouldn't kill a couple of dozen every now and than, the entire intervention would loose its legitimacy.
Conversely, although the US 'is not running for the exit', it is about to withdraw 80% of its troops in the next 2 years. That's a policy comfortable with a message that there is no longer a 'significant presence' of al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
So how many al Qaeda operatives are there in Afghanistan?
Well.... let's say it depends...
Posted by Keith at September 5, 2011 12:58 PM ET:
Does anybody at LWJ (or anywhere else) have an al Qaeda leadership tree along with each position's attrition?
Obviously this would involve some guesswork but to have some sort of tree that has who is currently in charge of which departments (?) and who-- after being killed or captured--they may have replaced would be great.
This would make it much easier to get a grasp of how well we're doing in disassembling al Queda.
Posted by ArneFufkin at September 5, 2011 2:28 PM ET:
@villiger: to allow for a quick declaration of victory and exit should the political need arise at any time.
That's the most plausible explanation to me.
Posted by Charu at September 5, 2011 6:03 PM ET:
Agree with Villiger. It is a political feint to give cover for a retreat. What is shameful is that our military, including Gen. Petraeus, have gone with this lie.
Posted by Baobo at September 6, 2011 2:29 AM ET:
Since the basic problem is economic, cultural, and religious, one shouldn't worry about absolute numbers. It's the rate at which enemies are created or removed that matters primarily, and that number can only be estimated over many years.
Of course having accurate numbers may be important operationally and politically... but since that isn't possible..... Now what?
Posted by rk at September 6, 2011 6:51 PM ET:
@Keith I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I think I got most of the big names below. My focus was on AQ/AQAP historic & operational linkages, but I tried to lay out AQ hierarchy as well.
Posted by villiger at September 6, 2011 11:29 PM ET:
rk, Thanks very much for that link and for your work. That really is a very helpful graphic--i didn't think that Keith was going to get an answer to his question, and not that quickly.
I recommend it to all readers here to take a look.
It is quite reassuring to see a good number of those mugshots at AQC neatly framed, be it red or black.
Bill, it would also be helpful if you could keep that somehow in a window here at LWJ for easy access, of course with due credit to you, Rick.
Keith, thank you for asking the question!
Posted by Neonmeat at September 7, 2011 10:53 AM ET:
You have to say the picture is pretty funny, the guy with the rocket launcher looks like he's about to make a few new matyrs from the three guys at the top, and the bloke with the heavy machine gun seems to be holding the business end to his mates head!
Posted by Sean at September 8, 2011 9:23 PM ET:
It is a ridiculous thing to try to count the number of AQs in Afghanistan. First, how do they define if one is an AQ member and not the member of some other group, or even just a sympathizer?
I would bet that the supposed AQ guys ISAF is claiming could also be categorized as a handful of other insurgent groups, but for the moment the AQ label sticks because that's what gets notoriety and/or money for the moment. In my opinion it is all ridiculous banter and nobody on the ground even thinks about how many AQ are in Afghanistan.
Posted by Render at September 10, 2011 4:55 AM ET:
Keith - Yes, but not for publication.
Sean - ISAF likes to call them IMU (Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan) members, ignoring that IMU is part of al-Q and has been since at least 1998. If you count the number of IMU mentions in ISAF press releases, the numbers of al-Q in Afghanistan skyrocket.
...and are probably still short.

THE LOCALE | DP Wine & Tapas Bar
THE LOWDOWN | There's another happening spot to grab a drink at The Market Common. DP Wine & Tapas Bar is a new addition to Divine Prime, and that's where we went for happy hour this week.
Divine Prime, located on Farrow Parkway at The Market Common, converted the lounge it used to have up front into a wine and tapas bar. It has an elegant, sleek atmosphere complete with a red velvet rope outside the front door.
As you walk in the establishment, you see a massive wine rack enclosed in a glass case that extends from the ceiling to the floor. There's a bar that seats about a dozen, and several small high-top tables. The color scheme is black and silver, and a dim red light glows in the wall behind the bar.
Along with the addition of the DP Wine & Tapas Bar comes an expanded list of wines by the glass. You can compliment your wine by ordering a variety of meats and cheeses from the Salumeria menu. It looks like a sushi menu, but it features sheep, goat and cow cheeses and meats such as ham, smoked salmon and duck breast. You can even get prosciutto that is from Columbia (South Carolina, that is).
You can also order tapas and small plates to accompany your wine or martini. Choose from items such as Yakitori Negima (grilled chicken and roasted green onions skewered in teriyaki glaze), Tofu Agedeshi (deep fried tofu in a sweet soy broth topped with radish and wild mushrooms) or calamari.
Tapas items are half-price during happy hour, which runs from 4 to 7 p.m. daily. That means you can snag most tapas and small dishes for five dollars or less. Martinis, cocktails and wine are also half-price during happy hour. Other drink deals include $3.25 draft beers and $4 liquors.
TIPS | Divine Prime and DP Wine & Tapas Bar are now open on Sundays.

MILO, 1.25KG TIN | This Australia-manufactured cocoa-flavoured powdered drink is a fixture in many of our lives. It retails at a whopping S$23.70 at Fairprice, but at a mere fraction of AUD12 (S$13.67) in Australia's Coles supermarket.
A GLASS OF HOUSE WINE | We know the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) report compares the prices of a bottle of table wine, but that is not quite level ground for Singapore's wining crowd (prices of wine bottle fluctuate, even before the alcohol tax came into effect). Instead we're comparing prices of a glass of wine, and it comes to around S$12. Over in Zurich, Switzerland, a glass is CHF6.50 (S$9.34).
CHEW'S ORGANIC SELENIUM EGGS, 10 | The main stars of our eggs Benedicts can be had at S$3.95 for ten, though they're considerably cheaper in Malaysia at RM5.39 (S$2.09).
A LOAF OF GARDENIA BREAD | A loaf of the long-standing brand's sliced bread retails in Singapore for S$2, but if you cross the border to Malaysia, the all-white (not 'enriched', sorry) slices can be had for as little as RM2, which comes to around S$0.77.
LADUREE MACARONS | While in Paris, France, the individual macarons can be had for €1,70 (S$2.97), these babies go for S$3.50 a pop at the Takashimaya branch.
FRAGRANT RICE, 10KG | A sack of popular brand Fragrant's rice is S$29.15 at Giant. Hop over to Tesco in Malaysia and you'll save a few dollars (RM63.99; S$24.81).
F&N MAGNOLIA FRESH MILK, 1 LITRE | Our neighbours can get their calcium cheaper at RM$5.49 (S$2.13), while we get ours at S$3.50.
KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS, ORIGINAL GLAZED, 12 | We all know the dozen original glazed Krispy Kremes retail for S$23.40. But did we know that it goes for a mere RM19.90 (S$7.70) in Malaysia?
SUBWAY MEATBALL MARINARA, FOOT-LONG | This 12-inch sandwich stuffed with Italian-style beef meatballs and tangy marinara sauce is S$10.10 in Singapore. In the United States, it's US$5 (S$6.35).
DRIED SPAGHETTI, 500G | Even Waitrose (UK's high-end supermarket chain) sells it cheaper than we do - it's 95 pence (S$2.02) for their essential Waitrose range's spaghetti, while Giant in Singapore sells San Remo for $2.40.

(KMOV) –Heavy trucks driving in East St. Louis near the Casino Queen will be at the mercy of city officials.
The mayor told News 4 he wants grain trucks to find another way to the barge facilities along the riverfront or the city will start ticketing them.
"Writing out tickets at this point is not what we are seeking to do. We're looking to resolve the issue how do we get trucks to cargo and to bungee and keep the trucks away from the door of the casino queen," said Mayor Alvin Parks.
The fines could run as high was $500. The city expects to work out a plan by this week that will have the trucks taking another route to the river.

Twinkies are a hot topic right now with new arrivals of the product on store shelves this week. The new "hype" around this classic Hostess favorite has Arizona Science Center asking what's the science behind the beloved Twinkie?
The previous shelf life of the Twinkie was 26 days, a mere half of the new and improved Twinkie whose shelf life increased to a whopping 45 days. This treat was already known for its lasting edibility, so we ask how do they last so long?
The Twinkie challenges the shelf-life of most other baked goods by using alternate ingredients typically found in other similar products. Instead of eggs, butter and milk, Twinkies use ingredients such as monoglycerides, diglycerides and diacetyl. Steve Ettinger author of "Twinkie Deconstructed" interestingly enough says that a very small amount of egg is actually still used in the Twinkie but the egg yolk consistency used to make the Twinkie is actually polysorbate 60 which is derived from oil palm trees.
The combination of the ingredients create a delicious compound food science packed snack!

Great idea but not so great video. Because of the dark t-shirt and the dark shadows, I could barely see it. Next time use a lighter shade of shirt and try to eliminate the shadows.
Absolutely great. I so much admire the ingenuity of such clever people. Keep up the great work. With admiration from "downunder".
Love this! It is so attractive and funky and easy to make. I have an enormous collection of old tees. Thanks for the video, Latrice.
I made one for myself and my teen daughter immediately wanted one of her own. I also bought some large wood beads to add to the fringe on both scarves.
I love this. Wish I hadn't thrown out some old t-shirts. Ho hum, you live and learn.
This is an awesome idea for even old t-shirts. I am definitely making more than one!
Made several of these for Christmas presents (along with crochet mittens to match). Love it, it's different!! (Made myself one too!!!) Thanks!

Concierge.com's insider take:
Owned by Culinary Institute of America graduate Owen Belmar, formerly of the nearby ultraluxe Petit St. Vincent resort, Le Petit Jardin is considered one of the island's premier dining rooms. Located in a varnished wooden house with a lovely garden in the center of Port Elizabeth, the place sticks fairly faithfully to French standards, with highlights such as escargot spiced with anise, seafood crepes, consommé with poached eggs, and lamb with mint butter. These classics are joined by Caribbean-influenced additions, including sautéed shrimp in a coconut cream sauce and fresh fish paired with saffron rice, curry, and bananas.
Closed Sundays from May to October.

Big Ten divisions: Legends, Leaders
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When the Big Ten plays its first conference championship game next season, it'll be the Leaders division against the Legends division.
The conference, expanding to 12 teams in all sports and adding divisions and a championship game in football starting next season, on Monday also unveiled a new logo and 18 football awards, each named after two standout Big Ten performers.
"The Legends, not too hard in that we have 215 College Football Hall of Fame members, we have 15 Heisman Trophy winners," commissioner Jim Delany said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press. "We thought it made perfect sense to recognize the iconic and the legendary through the naming of the division in that regard. ... We've had plenty of leaders in the conference, that's for sure, but the emphasis here is to recognize the mission of using intercollegiate athletics and higher education to build future leaders."
New Identities Open New Era
The Big Ten is expanding to 12 teams in all sports and adding divisions and a title game in football starting next season:
Leaders Division
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Wisconsin
Legends Division
Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern
With Nebraska becoming the conference's 12th team next year, the conference created new divisions that it introduced in September. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin will be in the Leaders Division, with Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern in the Legends Division.
Delany said the conference had considered naming the divisions after coaches, players, commissioners and faculty but it was too difficult to single out just two.
It also disdained from going with compass points since geography had been only the third consideration when the conference announced the divisional setup three months ago. In order, the main factors were competitive balance, maintaining rivalries, and then geography.
Asked if Leaders and Legends was too bland, or not unique to the Big Ten, Delany responded, "All of these things will engender discussion. We want to engage our fans. All I can tell you is that we thought long and hard about what not to do. We thought harder about what to do."
The logo is a block "Big Ten" which includes an homage to the original 10 members with those numerals embedded in the last two letters of the word Big.
Rittenberg: Big Ten Swings, Misses
In revealing the names for its new divisions, among other announcements Monday, the Big Ten could have done better and didn't help its national perception, at least in the short term, ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg writes. Blog
• Blog network: College Football Nation
The design firm Pentagram came up with the new logo. And, no, the conference never seriously considered putting a 12 in its logo or changing its well-known brand name to include the number of members today.
"There will be people who would want us to be digitally correct with our name and our number, but I think we have 100-percent support of the people who have responsibility for these programs -- in fact, it was a presidential directive -- that we maintain our name," Delany said.
The conference also introduced 18 new football awards which will be presented starting in 2011 with the advent of divisional play and Nebraska joining the fold.
The awards include the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy, presented to the winner of the conference title game, an offensive player of the year award honoring Otto Graham and Eddie George and a defensive trophy which will honor Bronko Nagurski and Charles Woodson. The Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year trophy will also be introduced next season.

Throthgar's Top Ten RPGs: Role-Playing At Its Best
By Malik Forté on April 10, 2014
Most non-fans of role-playing games look at the genre as a weird video game version of LARPing. But be they RPGs with old school turn-based style combat or the more accessible real time command RPG titles like Fallout, some of the greatest stories ever told lie comfortably within the RPG genre.
The wonderful wizards of Tyrannicon have once again constructed a covenant list, this one highlighting the most prominent RPG titles to ever see the light of day. Did Japanese RPG games dominate the list from top to bottom? Which Final Fantasy title(s), if any, were able to make the cut? These are ten games that would make any gamer adhere to the wise words of the great Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: "Know your role and shut your mouth." Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Throthgar's top ten best RPG games:
Be sure to Omnislash the subscribe button for more Tyrannicon on the Nerdist Channel.
Tried watching this video but could not stand listening to the narrator's voice.
What?!? No D&D, Traveller or Gama World? What kind of RPG list is this? These are nothing more than a bunch of bullshit video games! RPG my ass!
This is easily and by far the worst 'Top 10 RPG' list I've ever seen. I guess I just can't trust Nerdist when it comes to games. I'll stick with Polaris content from now on in that regard.
Wait, are you mocking us?
Well, that was crap
That really was the most annoying narration I've ever heard. Not sure if *all* of those were true RPG's… but I was certainly glad to see Fallout 3 in there!
wrf? why cant you just talk normal makes this video unwatchable, also shenmue and zelda are not rpgs.
Hate the narration. I understand that its a caricature of a "gamer", but it's just demeaning. Stuff like that just sets the industry back. Don't demean your audience the way the Spike videogame awards do.
I know its a bit of fluff entertainnent, but please figure out your approach to videogame coverage.
i'm calling bullshit FF7… if you are gonna mention a Final Fantasy you mention 6, because the bad guy wins and demolishes the planet.
Wait… no Baldur's Gate 2?
So, a game that isn't an RPG was named best RPG? Really? Ocarina of Time is an action-adventure game with some light puzzle solving. I would say that Madden is more of an RPG than Ocarina of Time.
Shenmue is a great game. It's not an RPG. Ocarina of Time is a great game. It's not an RPG. There is no Dragon Quest nor Shin Megami Tensei on this list. What gives?

For all of you out there waiting for Mariska Hargitay's Det. Olivia Benson to finally come out, or new fave female cop star Maria Bello to join the team, let us introduce you to a really fun and creative attempt to fill that gay lady cop void we're always complaining about. "Lesbian Cops" is the intentionally basic name for a new film project that's anything but. Inspired by his 80-year-old grandmother's coming out story – and their shared penchant for the buddy-cop movie format – Writer/Director Firouz Farhang set out to tell a story of strong, gun-wielding women who happen to like women. Together with his leading ladies, Gena Shaw and Krystal Marshall, Farhang has created several web episodes airing now that he hopes will drive interest in and financial support to his truly funny upcoming feature. Check out the sneak peaks over at http://www.lesbiancopsmovie.com/ and read below where we chat with Farhang, Shaw, and Marshall to learn more.
CherryGRRL (CG): Firouz, first we just have to know – did your grandmother truly just come out on her 80th birthday? Please tell us more about that…
Firouz Farhang (FF): Yes. I won't get into the specifics of the story but my family discovered that Nana was a lesbian when we found out she had been in a romantic relationship with another woman for many years. Being from a conservative Persian family, you can imagine that this was not received well by everyone. It was quite shocking to all of us.
CG: How did your grandmother influence or inspire you to create this project?
FF: Moving to America was very difficult for me, because I was only a boy. I did not know English, and children were mean. They called me an evil Arab, even though I am clearly Persian, and they blamed me for the hostage crisis, even though my own family was running away from the same people who did these vile things. Many days I came home from school crying to my nana. To cheer me up, she would take me to see all the finest American movies. Death Wish, Death Wish II, Dirty Harry, Murphy's Law, Lethal Weapon, Death Wish III, Serpico… We loved cop movies and learned a lot of English watching them. We both agree Charles Bronson is by far the finest actor ever the U.S. produced.
I decided there could be no better way to show my love and appreciation than to make a movie in her honor.
CG: Lesbians absolutely love female cops and seeing female cops on TV and in film. Did you know this going into the project – that there was a heavy interest there?
FF: No. I had no idea about anything in the lesbian culture. But I think that cops are generally quite strong, active characters and they are forced to deal with a lot of problems and sometimes are acting in very aggressive manners. If they are detectives, then they are usually on a case and that means they are working to achieve something – catch the bad guys or what have you. This makes them fun characters to watch. It is a little bit the American dream, don't you think?
CG: How did you come up with the idea of a comedy about lesbian cops? Why was this a subject that you felt would work well in the comedic format?
FF: In this matter, I struggled a great deal. I had no desire when I began my journey to put my hands in such a movie that is making comedy from what I consider to be very serious issues and circumstance. Drugs are nothing to laugh at. Violence is nothing to laugh at. I wrote with passion and heartache. I wanted to change the world, so that people would accept my nana.
But when people were reading my script, they were laughing in parts they were not supposed to laugh. Some friends helped me understand why they thought it would work better in a comedy format. I also learned that with much of the lesbian-themed productions in the world, many are already drama, and there are not enough lesbian comedies, so since I am not a comedian, I worked with my cast and my co-producers to help make it more light-hearted.
CG: Did you have any concerns that the lesbian community would criticize you or be offended by you since you're a man and here you are (all in good fun) depicting some lesbian stereotypes for laughs? If so how did you go about addressing that potential issue?
FF: Yes, of course. My friends at Pelican Boss Films were very concerned about that issue, but we thought pushing the comedy over the top would make it easy to understand that we aren't making fun of anyone but instead we are having fun with everyone. Nobody is off limits. Everyone is fair game. Given the resources to make more Lesbian Cops, I am sure we will get to offend everybody eventually. But it is all in good fun. Laughter is the best medicine.
The response we have gotten from the lesbian community has been better than we could have hoped for. I've read the comments online and received several emails and people really seem to get it. The fact that the lesbian community not only enjoys Lesbian Cops but seems really excited and supportive of it is a great thing. We are very happy to have such a vocal group of fans and hope we continue to entertain them and earn their support. (continued on next page)

Nutrient to Know: Niacin
by Dana Angelo White in Uncategorized, February 25, 2011Though plentiful in lots of foods, many folks turn to this B-vitamin in supplement form. Find out why that might not be such a good idea.
What is It?
Niacin (a.k.a. vitamin B3) is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that daily excess is lost in the urine. Because of this high turnover, it's best to have a steady intake in niacin-rich foods.
Why is It Good for You?
Our bodies rely on this important vitamin to help produce energy from the carbs and fat we eat. It also plays a role in the workings of both the digestive and nervous systems.
Thankfully, you can find niacin in a wide variety of foods (see below). Not getting enough of this nutrient can lead to weakness, loss of appetite, and a rare combination of symptoms including diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia and possibly death known as Pellagra.
As usual, food sources of niacin are preferable because high doses from supplements have been shown to cause liver damage, skin rashes and digestive problems. Prescription-strength doses are sometimes given to help lower cholesterol, but those that do take it in such large amounts should work closely with their doctor or registered dietitian to make sure toxic effects are avoided.
Even low doses of niacin supplements can cause "niacin flush," flushing along with possible itching and discomfort of the skin (usually the face). Just another good reason to watch your intake of the vitamin in any of the supplements you take.
Where Can I Find It?
The daily value for this vitamin is 20 milligrams per day. It can be found in lean meats, poultry, fish, wheat bran, legumes, mushrooms, whole grain cereals and peanuts. Pass on the mega-dose supplements and stick to these easy-to-eat sources:
3 ounces roasted chicken breast = 11.4 milligrams (57 percent)
3 ounces cooked tuna = 9.0 milligrams (45 percent)
3 ounces cooked salmon = 6.8 milligrams (34 percent)
1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms = 2.7 milligrams (14 percent)
1 tablespoon peanut butter = 2.2 milligrams (11 percent)
1 slice whole wheat bread = 1.3 milligrams (7 percent)
Try the chicken satay, pictured above, for a hefty percentage of your daily niacin needs.

This is the first in a series of how to make mealtimes quicker, easier and more fun with a little help from your friends!
Thank you so much for this post! I recently started a freezer group with 5 other families and your suggestions were extremely helpful. I think that our group will have a much smoother start because of it.
