Editor's Note: This interview took place on December 17, 2007, and was a joint venture of the Swiss weekly Die Weltwoche and Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Baghdad, Iraq
Q: General Petraeus, since February you have been the Commanding General of the Multi-National Force in Iraq. You have implemented a new strategy and earned a great deal of credit for your accomplishments. What is your overall assessment of the mission so far?
P: Well, it's really more the last five or six months, I think, during which we have seen progress in about every different respect and in almost every area of Iraq with the exception of the Mosul-Ninawa area which has remained about the same in terms of violence because of the enormous importance of that area to al Qaeda. And we know that as al Qaeda has been thrown out of the Euphrates River Valley, killed, captured, or pushed out of Anbar Province, the southern belts, although there are still some areas. In fact, we have some work to do in the Salman Pak-Medina area, and that's one reason that attacks went up a bit last week is we think that we hit a pocket of them down there and they really are fighting back. In the Baghdad neighborhoods, by and large, there's been enormous progress, in Ghazaliyah, Amariyah, Doura, Adhamiyah, Arab Jabour, Nafiyas. We had had progress by September. In fact, that's what the ambassador and I reported when we went back to Capitol Hill.
Q: What progress has been made since you have come back from Capitol Hill?
P: Till September it was still the early stages. What we have seen now for a sustained period of five or six months, since about mid-June, has been a steady reduction in violence. There was a little up-tick during Ramadan. There have been a couple of up-ticks in the past, say, ten weeks, but we've generally had a period of about ten weeks of levels of violence that have not been seen on a sustained basis like that since the late spring of 2005. So we are actually almost on a two-and-one-half year low in terms of violence.
Q: After many mistakes in the past years the US Mission in Iraq under your command seems to have found the right strategy. What is the reason for this success?
P: There are a lot of factors behind that. Certainly, the damage we have done to al Qaeda. It remains very dangerous and we see it periodically, they'll crank back up again. But we are trying to pursue them very, very tenaciously and we know where they are, we know what we have to do. You have to keep adjusting and shifting your forces to pursue that but it's a much better position to be pursuing tactically than it is to have to conduct an assault as we had to at Ramadi or into Baqubah very much or Doura even. Some of these areas where there were really prepared defenses, that's very challenging, very dangerous, very costly. So what we want to do is very much try to keep al Qaeda on the run, recognizing that it remains lethal, dangerous, and capable of regenerating and they're constantly trying to do that.
Q: Jihadis from neighboring countries have been responsible for some of the most bloody suicide attacks in Iraq. Have you been successful in reducing the flow of foreign fighters into Iraq?
P: There has been a reduction of foreign fighter flow through Syria. That's a result of actions by source countries against possible extremists who might want to come to Iraq. It is a result of action by Syria which we think sees al Qaeda as a threat to its regime; correctly so. And it's very much a result of damage to the foreign fighter network inside Iraq including Abu Usama Al-Tunisi, the head of the foreign-fighter network and Mathana[ph] who was a facilitator up in Ninewa Province where we also captured the 800-plus records of foreign fighters who had come into the country from August, 2006 to August, 2007. Again, they're still coming in; they're just coming in at a level that, it's an imperfect estimate but, perhaps, half of what it was several months ago.
Q: Then there was the ceasefire declared by the Shia firebrand Mullah Muqtada al-Sadr in August. How did that contribute to the stabilization of Iraq?

Saturday marked the grand opening of the K1X NYC flagship store in SoHo, located on 359 Lafayette St. The highlight of the event was the exhibition of the "Tonz-O-Gunz K.O.N.Y." art work by Barron Claiborne, which was released as a limited edition t-shirt - exclusively by Barron Claiborne and K1X. Guests enjoyed drinks courtesy of "Balls Vodka" and tunes by DJ Getlive, who actually turned the boutique store into a dance floor (see exclusive clip by Highsnobiety tomorrow).
Acclaimed photographer Barron Claiborne made it an unforgettable night for many, by taking portraits of our guests. Of course, an exclusive portrait by the man who took Biggie's most iconic (and last!) picture is a bragging right in itself. In this case, we added an extra cherry on top, as our visitors got to wear Notorious B.I.G.'s original crown, posing as the "King of New York". Stay tuned for the art project feat. all head shots taken during K1X's tipoff.
With DJ Getlive on the decks, sneakerheads, taste makers, media and ballplayers celebrated the arrival of K1X in the Big Apple. It's been a long time coming but the Nation of Hoop is here to stay!

Clean Water Action's 29th Annual Conference, entitled #Act4CleanWater, is being held Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 9:00 am-5:00 pm at Brookdale Community College's Warner Student Life Center, Lot #7, Arena Drive, Lincroft, NJ. Register today or download the Act4CleanWater Brochure
The conference will feature:
South Jersey Gas Pipeline
South Jersey Gas is proposing to put a natural gas pipeline through a portion of the Pinelands Forest Management Area. The proposal would place 22 miles of 24-inch pipeline through Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland Counties in order to provide the B.L. England Plant located in Beesley's Point, Cape May County with natural gas.
The construction of the SJG pipeline will cause long term harm to Pinelands forests and waterways: habitat loss, compaction of soils, more runoff and erosion in waterways, changes to hydrogeology potentially impacting aquifers and groundwater. The Pinelands is a national treasure and provider of clean drinking water to millions of state residents and home to a trillion gallon aquifer.
Clean Water Action has joined a coalition of over 40 organizations to stop the pipeline from being built. Our 40 organizations represent hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans and voters who also oppose the pipeline. Read our latest Op Ed by Amy Goldsmith in the Star Ledger "Sweeney's Meddling Compromised Pinelands Commission's Independence," March 20, 2015.
fields free of toxic chemicals
Thanks to the support of Clean Water Action New Jersey members, we had over 50 legislators sign on to co-sponsor the Safe Playing Fields Act (S541/A2143) this year.
Unfortunately, despite these co-sponsors and the support of parents throughout the state, the vote on this bill continues to be delayed. We need to send NJ legislators the message that ignoring children's health is unacceptable. Urge your legislators to pass the bill now.
We need stronger, not weakened, laws to protect our air, water, land, and public health. Consider this:

This is a nice shaded park with very large sites. There are a lot of double sites as well. The Camp hosts were excellent, they made very loud drunk campers pack up and go. They kept the park very clean and went above and beyond to make sure you were having a good time. The Pit toilets were very clean. We camped at South Meadows in a Tent Trailer.Undo

Stayed here 3 nights. Good place to get out of the heat since it's above 8000 ft elevation. Reservations needed on weekends in summer. Host was friendly, helpful and on top of things. No hookups, but many water spigots throughout the campground. Didn't check the rest rooms. Very peaceful, especially during the week. We'd stay here again.

Ulrich Alexander "Rick" Fox (born July 24, 1969) is a Canadian television actor and retired professional basketball player who last played for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers in 2004. Fox was born in Toronto, the son of Dianne Gerace, who was an Olympic high jumper and women's pentathlete, and Ulrich Fox. His father is Bahamian and his mother is Italian Canadian. Fox's family moved to his father's native Bahamas when Fox was three. He attended Kingsway Academy in Nassau, where he was a member of the high school's basketball team, the "Saints." Fox also played high school basketball in Warsaw, Indiana. After two seasons (1984–1986) at Warsaw, Fox was projected to have a monster senior season. Just prior to his senior season, the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) ruled that he had no more high school eligibility left (due to completing eight semesters in the Bahamas) and was not allowed to participate in any IHSAA games. Despite not playing his senior season, Fox was voted onto the Indiana All-Star team in 1987. He then went on to star collegiately at the University of North Carolina where his highlights included leading the Tar Heels to the 1991 NCAA Final Four. Fox

I can't tell you the number of times I backdoor-ed as Tristana/Warwick but the minions got the last hit on the towers. There is no record of all the work I did for my team while my teammates were racking up there collective scores in the distracting team fights.
So I have to ask, why does the Towers Destroyed stat even exist in the score screen, if 6/7 times out of 10 the minions finish off towers anyway?
Including all the times where you hit the tower for a lot, your forced back when they react, and your minions finish it.
Wouldn't it make more sense to add a Damage to Towers stat or replace the Towers Destroyed stat to show those situations where you got low kills but you were helping the team by pushing and dropping towers all game?
Senior Member
+1 for great justice. The Summoner's Rift scoring system is pretty bad in general. It only accurate scores carry type heroes. Keeping track of how much damage individual champs did to Towers seems like an easy step in the right direction
Quick Rawr
It's added in to overall damage dealt.
Lord Tumbles
or if you do 99% of the tower and then someone randomly comes in and 1shots it
Isn't the only important record your win/loss ratio?
Because if you think back dooring isn't right try playing a support. (A good support not one that takes cs and tried to last hit champions)

Where to get a custom mast step plate?
Hi All...
Based upon the advice I got in this thread about rigging a Cunningham:
Slideing gooseneck vs cunningham
I am planning to add a plate under my mast. This will give me a mounting point for blocks that will let me run the Cunningham and clue outhaul aft.
Right now my mast is down, and it goes back up Monday or Tuesday. I won't have time to get a plate before then, but the reason for the post is that my mast step is interesting.
I'll post some photos, but there is a mast step on the deck that comes up above the deck a few inches. This step is exactly the same size and shape as the mast. There is a rectangular hole in it.
The base of the mast has a rectangular key that fits into the opening on the step, I guess to keep it from sliding in any direction. The mast just sits on this step, and does not hang over it or anything. If you didn't know the bottom few inches was step, you would think the mast was all one piece to the deck.
Is there any reason I can't put a plate between the step and the mast? of course the plate would need a rectangular hole for the key to pass through. The plate would then hover over the deck a few inches but I guess there is no harm in that.
Can someone recommend someone who makes custom mast step plates?

I am developing a tool called locationAlarm.
This tool is fingerfriendly and available in every resolution, running the .net framework with the SenseSDK 1.39.
It can run with GPS and Triangulation, and will be the most relieable locationAlarm program that has ever been programmed!
Right now, it can wake you in a given radius close to your destiantion and is avaiable in german and english. Future features will be, that it warns the user if GPS and Network Services are out of reception and if the battery level gets critical.
App is now for download @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834341
Thank you!
If you don't want to beta test, you can still stay tuned, I will release this software soon in several languages!
If you want your language to be supported, please ask for it in this thread!
Greetz, brAndi!

Thanks for the replies so far everyone. Let me expand a little on what I was thinking and what has come up in some of the replies:
Do any of you remember the 1992 Rodney King riots in CA where several Korean business owners were exchanging shots with armed looters because the police were nowhere to be found? After everything had settled down, many of the rioters and their sympathizers were demanding criminal charges be brought against the store owners...it didn't really go anywhere, but you see the mentality of some people...and some of them are either elected or become judges.
Also, some of you mentioned that a looter would remember you for popping their ass with a pellet rifle and come back later. In looking at footage from Katrina and L.A., it always seemed to me that most of those dopes were opportunists that wouldn't remember where they stole anything, let alone who chased them off...it would be different than popping the neighbor kid that sees you everyday...am I right?
I thought it also might be good for aggressive dogs that may get loose.
Again, all ideas appreciated.
There are two kinds of people in this world my friend, those with loaded guns, and those who dig, you dig. -The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
If the SHTF I want a weapon capable of putting a confrontation to an end - hopefully in my favor. Pellet guns are fun for backyard plinking, but they have absolutely no tactical purpose for me. A .22 is a much better weapon if you want to limit your killing power for small game. SHooting at someone is nothing to take lightly, and God forbid if it comes to that I will be shooting to kill, not to mame, wound, or warn.
I don't think I'd use a pellet rifle for anything other than varmint control or small food acquisition.
If any unrest happens in November say, or after that, it seems you'll need more than a bb gun. Anyway, I think if there is any acting up if something happens on election day, most likely it would happen in the areas that democrats outnumber republicans and in areas that a natural constituency has the majority. Most of us would probably be ready if we lived in such an area or gone. But when MLK was killed LA did not burn like other places, so I don't know how realistic fears of rioting would be if the false messiah doesn't win. Not everyone thinks the same about him.
Just my thoughts on this- do any of you know the only defense against the detonation of a nuclear weapon? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
The answer is- when that event takes place, you must be somewhere that you can say "What was that?" And while I am being a little tongue in cheek here, the same principle attains- to be on favorable terrain. That is, are you somewhere that is capable of being defended? If not, would suggest that you (a) move, or (b) look at how you are gonna get the heck out of Dodge to a more favorable bit of terrain. There are very few bunkers in urban areas that are capable of being defended against a determined foe. Just ask any member of the German Army.
Yep, keep a pellet rifle around. 5mm Sheridan Blue Streak. Handy for popping a bunny or squirrel, deadly at 40-45 yds. But I don't fire warning shots with ANYTHING. And if I have let bad guys get with 40 yards, I will have made several grievous errors in judgement.
BKT- Actually, radiant heat, being IR Light, travels at speed of light. The shock wave (overpressure & blast effect) comes along considerably slower (speed of sound).
However, my point was that one should pick WHERE they want to defend. Can any terrain be defended? Yep- with enough prep. However, if your perimeter is at your property line, and that is 15 ft from your front door- that is gonna take a LOT of prep to defend against an all out assualt of lawless persons. An old military definition of "delaying action" is trading space for time. If you HAVE no space, that does not give you much time to react. I do feel it is important for some of our friends to realize that if you suddenly find that civilian law enforcement has decided "Yer own yer own, folks" that where you are sitting may not be the most advantageous spot to defend in place. In which case, safely getting you and yours TO such a place should be high on their SHTF planning.
If you want something to get there attention find somebody to load you some 23/4 shot gun shell with half the powder and some #9 shot that comes out to 958 pellets at about 650 feet per second or so. it won't kill them but there going to know they got hit!!!
If you run your just going to die tired!!!
rocksalt slugs work just as well too
Yeah rock salt is about the only warning I would fire. Other then that I would say go buy some Reminton sub-sonic 22lr's ($6 for a 50 round box), they are about the same sound as a powerful pellet gun and the are more then able to turn a brain to jello if you need too....

This is great feedback! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

It is a little op, I think it still needs a few more tweaks. Although since it's not an escort, it wouldn't get the +maneuverability bonus, so it would be almost on par with the Luna (13 turn). This is basically a Luna with a modified Vo'quv BOff layout, less crew, more turn and forward facing weapon layout (4/2 instead of 3/3).

My main idea was making a build similar to the Vo'quv but switching the LtCm. Eng with the Lt. Sci. So basically the same BOff layout but with a LtCm. Sci instead of an Eng. This way it would keep to a unique KDF play style instead of a Fed copy.

This is a very good point and I totally agree with you! When I first started with this build I thought about a similar idea to MES. I have an idea that I will add below cause it will also answer another point you made.

I guess overall it could just be a basic copy of the Violator instead of the custom ship people would make. If Photonic Mirror came with a 5 second Scramble Sensors it should help with the confusion. Perhaps instead of no damage, it could have MK1 weapons, so the damage would be minimal? Perhaps skill points could boost the damage.

Also don't know if cryptic tech can do it, a simpler yet just as unlikely to be liked option might be to have it do what the borg boarding teams do and set your abilities on random 3 second cooldowns.
Other good points (about game engine and PvPers) and I'm not sure if either would accept it. The idea of a Lethean officer telepathically attacking the target's captain to either effect his judgment or lag his decision sounds kinda cool.
I'll try to tweak it

Personally I'd say that given its manoeuvrability, cut the target subsystems and give the ability to mount cannons. leave the sensor analysis (since the Leathians seem like the kind to do their homework a bit before rushing into a fight) and give them only two device slots.
I agree, I left out Target Subs to allow for more difference between the Fed and KDF Science ships. Although it would come with Sensor Analysis. Dual cannons would be mountable as well.

However I don't see the psychic attack as a console, its more crew than technology based. although I suppose it could be explained to work similar to the Romulan drone pilot from enterprise, a device integrated into the vessel that amplifies and transmits the telepathic signal... or something like that.
I'm quite in favour of a Leathian ship based on science, I actually made my KDF science officer a Leathian by using the same logic.
Oh also included in this 'Leathian love' should be the ability to have Leathian Boffs as currently none exist.
I figured I would do the same thing to the consoles that I did for the BOffs, match the Vo'quv but switch the Eng. with the Tac (same as Luna). I'll have to review the build a little more.
As for not having Lethean BOffs, what if instead of the ship getting Psychic Attack, purchase of the ship comes with a Lethean Science Officer that has both LtCm. MES3 and an ability at Cm. Psychic Attack? This would remove the ships cloak from the build...but the Lethean BOff would come with the rare MES3 and give us a Lethean BOff that we have yet to get.

"This is not erotica - but I didn't expect it to be"
I'm not sure why, but this book intrigued me, and that's why I bought it. I had no expectations about the erotica, and read it as a memoir, albeit a woman talking about her sex life.
This is definitely an adult book, but it was also what she was saying about sex that was interesting too. How she got tired of the swinging scene... In the end, perhaps sex was not what she was looking for after all. For me it was a discussion about sex and the value we place on it, not a description of sex.
I think this was an answer to the question of what happens when you do get everything you want, is it of as much value as you thought it was? Is it really what you think it is? It was interesting to hear her priorities change through the story. For example: The description of her evolving relationship with her sons. Her sons go from just 'things' to be dropped off at the ex's place, to having actual names and father / son type relationships with her 'boyfriends'.
I read it as a memoir, and while it's not the best book I've ever read, I'm pleased I read this to the end - it was well worth it and I'll be reading it again. Very thought provoking.
"Useful if you already know what they are teaching."
First, this is not immersion. You can only get immersion by actually surrounding yourself with native speakers of the language. Immersion is a good thing to do when the native speakers are sensitive to the new speakers need for meaning. It is also more effective to learn a 'standard' rather than 'colloquial'. You'll be able to speak to more people in more areas with a standard form.
Second, language learning programs are best when they follow natural conversational patterns. So one part of the conversation prompts the next. This program doesn't, it follows grammatical patterns. So it does sound like it was written by a translator and an academic, which is good, if you are already familiar with the language. There is a place for this, but not at an early level.
Third, if you are using this, you must use the text. In language teaching there is a method called 'hook and coat'. This audio part of the course does the opposite.
They give the Arabic, and then the English, and because the sentences are in grammatical patterns here, you get 'the coat' (the Arabic) and have to hold it in your mind before 'the hook' comes (the English) to hang it on in your mind. But they also don't repeat either the Arabic or the English, and they don't break the sentences down into meaningful pieces, so people can put them together to form the unique sentences they need in the real world.
So the learner is left with holding 'chunks' of unprocessed language in their minds. The only way to process this information is to compare two or more sentences, and that takes a lot of brain work and memory, and a working knowledge of morphology. (the smallest meaningful part of a word) There are far better ways to learn on a plane flight.
Lastly, I am glad I bought this, but I only use it to back up what I'm learning from another course I bought from Audible.com. I learn from my other course, and get grammar pointers from this, so I feed back into the course I'm learning from. Variety is good.

Here are two new decals I drew up for the new 1/16th scale Charger kit- Gene Snow's red and Jake Johnston's blue cars. Art "chilidog" Loveland drew the excellent snowman graphics. Art is a master of drawing on the computer and did a outstanding job on these. The Gene Snow decal is heads above the Revell decal. There has never been a 1/16th scale Jake Johnston 1/16th decal so I decided to do one to go with the red Snowman car. They are $25.00 each with $3.00 shipping. Anyone interested in buying one I can be reached at email@example.com. I will be doing the White Bear Dodge and Sir Wells Charger next.

This is a good, but basic, hand cream for dry skin. It contains a mix of emollients and glycerin plus smaller amounts of skin-conditioning ingredients and a tiny amount of antioxidant soybean oil. For the money, this isn't all that disappointing, especially if you're considering this for bedtime use (without sunscreen it shouldn't be applied if hands will be exposed to daylight). The fragranced formula isn't among the best hand creams you can buy, but those on a budget or simply struggling with occasional (perhaps weather-related) dry hands will likely be pleased.
In terms of "extended moisture", this won't last for 48 hours as claimed—not if you do things like wash your hands, do the dishes, or handle paper, all of which deplete this hand cream's moisturizing ingredients. As with any hand cream, you'll need to keep it, well, handy!
A rich, indulgent moisturizing cream made especially for rough, dry hands. Infused with Pro-Vitamin B5, it provides up to 48 hours of continuous improvement for soft, smooth skin.

Nivea At-A-Glance
Strengths: Budget-friendly; good makeup removers; a gentle scrub; some worthwhile lip balms.
Weaknesses: Several boring formulas; no products to treat breakouts or lighten skin discolorations; problematic toners; disappointing self-tanners; the anti-cellulite products are a joke.
Nivea is a globally known brand owned by Beiersdorf, the same company behind department-store brand La Prairie and drugstore mainstay Eucerin. Among those three brands, Nivea's product selection is the weakest (which isn't saying much, because none of these lines have much of anything to offer skin). For Nivea, uninspired formulas abound, presenting limited options unless you have normal to dry skin, and even those have exceptionally inelegant formulas. The enduring popularity of this line has more to do with advertising and perhaps tradition (it has been around a long time) than with what any researcher would consider state-of-the-art.
In mid-2010 Nivea re-launched most of their Visage (facial care) products on the web site drugstore.com. These products present a few well formulated, inexpensive options that are worth your attention.For more information about Nivea, owned by Beiersdorf, call (800) 227-4703 or visit www.nivea.com.
