Seven Years to Seven Figures: The Fast-Track Plan to Becoming a Millionaireby Michael Masterson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Most popular books on money stress frugality and long-term savings," observes Michael Masterson, bestselling author of Automatic Wealth and Power and Persuasion. "But most people don't like to scrimp. And almost nobody is willing to wait forty years for compound interest to work its wonders."
And that's exactly why Masterson created Seven Years to Seven Figures: The Fast-Track Plan to Becoming a Millionaire. It's the perfect book on getting rich for baby boomers who can't wait long and younger people who just don't want to. Why seven years? Admittedly, when Masterson began working on the concept of accelerated wealth, he thought it might be unrealistic. But when he looked at how long it actually took him to make each of the million-dollar fortunes he's earned, he realized that none of them took longer than seven years. And the same turned out to be true for many other millionaires he knew. In Seven Years to Seven Figures, this self-made millionaire and renowned wealth coach reveals the steps everyone can take to accumulate seven-figure wealth within seven years—or less. In it you'll find real-life stories of men and women who built (and even exceeded) a seven-figure net worth within this time frame. Masterson describes their paths to success and explains, step by step, how you can mirror their wealth-building techniques, including:
If you're willing to get up earlier, work harder, and start a business, Seven Years to Seven Figures will give you the tools to increase your income, get the highest possible returns, save wisely—and secure your financial future faster than you may have dreamed. Remember, some of the people profiled in this book built up a seven-figure net worth after leaving low paying jobs, after struggling with credit card debt, even after filing for bankruptcy. If they can go from zero to millions in seven years or less, you can too. Synopsis:In Seven Years to Seven Figures, self-made millionaire and renowned wealth coach Michael Masterson reveals the steps you can take to accumulate seven-figure wealth within seven years—or less. Seven Years to Seven Figures will give you the tools to increase your income, get the highest possible returns on investments, save wisely—and secure your financial future faster than you may have ever dreamed.

Keystone Pipeline: Environmental Impact Statement Revisited
by Bill Chameides | April 4th, 2013
posted by Erica Rowell (Editor)
Map shows the segment of the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline assessed in a new environmental analysis conducted for the State Department. (Map used with permission. Credit: National Geographic and International Mapping)
Officials at TransCanada insist that their proposed Keystone XL pipeline is environmentally safe. Current events suggest otherwise.
The latest event: the pipeline rupture in Arkansas. On Friday, an Exxon Mobil pipeline running from Illinois to Texas ruptured and spilled an undetermined amount of heavy crude from western Canada near the town of Mayflower, Arkansas.
The Environmental Protection Agency has reportedly classified the event as a "major spill" — a definition [pdf] that indicates a spill greater than 10,000 gallons or one that regardless of size "poses a substantial threat to public health or welfare of the United States or the environment or results in significant public concern."
Exxon Mobil officials say they are preparing for a spill of as big as 420,000 gallons; as of Tuesday, EPA had reportedly estimated it to be around 84,000 gallons. (See Exxon Mobil press release [pdf] and the National Response Center's incident report.)
The Enbridge Kalamazoo Spill … Still Going
The last time we experienced a pipeline rupture of this magnitude was in the summer of 2010, when an estimated 819,000 gallons of oil spilled from an Enbridge pipeline into Michigan's Kalamazoo River. As of last month, submerged oil remained in the river, and on March 14, 2013, EPA ordered the company "to do additional dredging in Michigan's Kalamazoo River to clean up oil from the … July 2010 … spill" to "prevent [it] from migrating to downstream areas where it will be more difficult or impossible to recover." (See Enbridge's response to the order.)
Okay, some might say, these spills are unfortunate but given the tens of thousands of miles of crude oil pipelines crisscrossing the United States, two spills in almost three years is pretty good. Some might say that, but they'd be misinformed. In fact between January 2002 and June 2012, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration database reveals that there were almost 1,700 crude oil pipeline incidents in the United States. (See ProPublica's interactive map of pipeline incidents.) About 4 percent of these were categorized as "large spills," meaning between 42,000 and 840,000 gallons [pdf] were released. That translates into a large spill about every two months and that's not good.
In the meantime, TransCanada folks are assuring us that their proposed Keystone XL pipeline is safe. And proponents are pointing to the State Department's recent draft supplemental environmental impact statement to validate their arguments — see here, here and here. This statement in particular is being quoted to bolster support for the project:
"The analyses of potential impacts associated with construction and normal operation of the proposed [Keystone Pipeline] Project suggest that there would be no significant impacts to most resources along the proposed Project route."
Now, the statement is not exactly prominently featured in the report (more on this later) — it appears in Volume II, Section 4.16 under the heading "Summary of Impacts" [pdf]. But you gotta admit, it's pretty definitive. Reading between the lines, I get something like this: all you people opposing the pipeline on environmental grounds should tear up your protest signs and go home.
"No Significant Impacts" — Really?
Well, even though I haven't carried around a protest sign in a long time, I am bothered. We're talking about an 875-mile pipeline segment with the capacity to carry about 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Could such a facility really not pose a significant environmental impact? Seems like a stretch to me. Maybe the devil's in the detail of "most" — "there would be no significant impacts to most resources." Or maybe it's something else.
I decided to dig deeper into the report, and you know what? The bulk of its analysis doesn't seem to support the "no significant impact" statement from Section 4.16. Here are some reasons why.
Analysis Not Complete
Turns out that some potential environmental impacts have yet to be fully analyzed. For example, assessments of the impacts of the pipeline and possible accidents on so-called high consequence areas from both a drinking-water and ecological perspective are "pending and will be included in the Final Supplemental EIS." (Source)
How can you conclude there will be no significant impacts when you have yet to complete the analyses for high consequence areas? I don't think you can.
Significant Consequences Listed in Report
The report lists some pretty serious environmental consequences of the pipeline operation — consequences that are not singled out to be likely but are also not characterized as highly unlikely. These include having to provide a "supplemental drinking water supply" to residents because of contamination, the "complete loss of habitat" and/or "permanent loss of land use." (Source [pdf])
If I lived near the projected pathway of the pipeline, I'd find those impacts to be quite significant.
There Will Be Accidents
Okay, you may say, the consequences could be serious but they will only happen if there is an accident, a spill. How do you know that will happen?
Obviously nobody knows for sure what will actually happen, but if history is any indication, I'd say it's pretty certain that there will be accidents. According to the State Department report, the historical incident rate per pipeline mile per year is 0.003 (see Table 4.13-1 [pdf]). This means that a 300-mile pipeline will have on average about one incident per year. The expanded Keystone pipeline would traverse about 875 miles, so, on average, we could expect almost three incidents each year of the pipeline's operation.
But not all incidents are that serious. What about large oil spills (defined in the report as those involving 42,000 gallons to 840,000 gallons of oil)? Can we expect any of those? It turns out that only about 4 percent of pipeline incidents are categorized as "large," so those spills would be much less frequent. But less frequent is not never. For the Keystone Pipeline we could expect on average a large spill every 10 years or so. Bottom line: over the lifetime of the pipeline, there will be many accidents and probably at least one large spill.
Now, the State Department points out that TransCanada promises to take extra measures to mitigate the impact of any spill, but the history of both governmental and industry oversight of pipelines is not terribly encouraging.
So those are some of the reasons I question the "no significant impacts" statement in the environmental impact report, but I gotta take this a little further because I find the statement itself and its appearance hidden away in Section 4.16 to be suspect.
Why Is the "No Significant Impacts" Statement Buried?
Think about it. A conclusion that the pipeline will have no significant environmental impacts is huge. So huge that you'd think the authors would want to feature it prominently in the report, like in the executive summary, the only part of the document that many high-level policymakers and lawmakers will read. Right?
Strangely enough, nothing close to the "no significant impacts" statement appears there. Why not?
Briefing Disconnect
And then there's the State Department's press briefing on the analysis. This exchange from the transcript of the teleconference between reporters and Kerri Ann-Jones, assistant secretary of the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, struck me as especially interesting (emphasis added):
QUESTION [from Jo Biddle of Agence France-Presse]: … We literally have only just opened this report up and it's very dense and very comprehensive. But could you tell us, overall, if you found the environmental impact of the pipeline would be significant or would it meet the standards that you need for an eventual approval to go ahead?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY JONES: Well, as I said in my opening remarks, again, this is a draft. And so while there is a section where there is a summary discussion, I don't think it's – I think it's somewhat premature to get into that, because we feel that we need to have a public debate. We covered a range of issues regarding what could be environmental impacts, covering what's been already mentioned on this call – greenhouse gases and climate considerations – as well as groundwater, as well as the ability when you're passing through somewhat fragile areas, the effects on threatened and endangered species.
So I would just refer you to the summary piece and just say I think it's premature at this point to really try to come down with strong conclusions, as we want to make sure we get a lot of comments on this and we have a full public debate about the document.
If the report's conclusion was that there are no significant impacts, why didn't Jones answer by saying just that? Could it be that is not actually a conclusion of the draft?
Here's what I think. The report's seemingly lone (and in my opinion bizarre) statement about "no significant impacts" notwithstanding, of course there are potential environmental consequences of an oil pipeline of the scope of the proposed Keystone XL. To suggest otherwise is to strain credulity. Does that mean we should not go ahead with the project? Not necessarily.
As a democratic society, we should have a discussion about the potential consequences and benefits — and risks — of the pipeline and then decide what to do. (The quasi-public comment period, now open until April 22, is part of that discussion, as is the public hearing on the environmental analysis in Grand Island, Nebraska, slated for April 18.) Any attempt, intentional or not, to short-circuit this discussion by portraying the pipeline as being environmentally benign, is counterproductive and should be treated as such.

All industrial activities carry risk with them – environmental or otherwise. I think it would be useful for you to compare the risks of the pipeline against the risk of NOT building it. In other words, compared to the risk of transporting that oil via rail and truck. You will find that the pipeline carries significantly lower risk.

Hmm. Today was my second day of high school (waits for everyone to stop buzzing about me being young)...And there was a girl in my eighth period named Maizie. I'm not sure how she spelled it, but I've never met someone with that name before and I thought it was pretty interesting. But being a brand-new sophomore, I've had the opportunity to meet lots of new faces in high school...I met another girl named Anissa, and a lot of Joshes, Jordans, and Matts.

Just finished a week at tennis camp. There's a group for really little kids there (4-6yr olds) and they all seem to have fabulous names. There were, as expected, some popular choices like Noah and Lily and Liam, but no -aiden names, and no Kynleigh, Maddisyn, Kaydences.
Some of the names:
Otto (sister Sage)
Mateo (brother Asa)
Asa (brother Mateo)
Leo (sisters Lila & Ana)
Theo (sister Zoe)
Lila (brother Leo)
Sage(brother Otto)
Zoe (brother Theo)
Francesca (nn Chessa)
Aren't these little boys and girls just pure nameberry children? There were only maybe 5-6 other kids, and no repeats in names! The camp was not without repeats though in the older groups there were about 9 Charles! A Chip, a Chuck, 4 Charlies, and 3 just plain Charles.

I dont see any yellow wires in the engine schematic. There is a green an dbrown for engine coolant sensor on right side of engine compartment or it could be two faded white wires for the knock sensors on top front of engine. I think that is morelikely as the white cold have faded to yellow. See attached pic for location

Frosted Glacier-3 Prickly Goombas (Revision 357)
Star Coins
Star Coin 1 - A quick romp through the level will bring you to a point where an upside down pipe stands temptingly in front of you, yet is guarded by a prickly goomba, and 3 more goombas right below the pipe. A fire breathing Piranha Plant stands to the left, so let the plant roast the prickly goomba like a popcorn kernel - or do it yourself with a fire flower. Once through the pipe, the Star Coin sits at the top of the area. To get it, open up some hidden blocks along the left or right side of the area and grab the coin.
Star Coin 2 - After the checkpoint - look for one of those hidden areas marked by the wall caving in a bit. Inside you'll find Yoshi - keep him around, as he can bounce off prickly goombas. Further up on a rotating circular platform you'll see a raised platform. Jump up with Yoshi to find a upside-down pipe to take. Once inside you'll find the Star Coin across a sea of prickly goombas. Hope you remembered to bring Yoshi!
Star Coin 3 - Towards the end of the level you'll spy the last Star Coin, floating high above some coins and Prickly Goombas. If you managed to keep Yoshi all this time, use him to jump up and grab it. If not, a conveniently placed Fire Bro will be roasting Prickly Goombas out of their shell for your benefit. Just use a Goomba to boost yourself to the Star Coin.

Here at Barn Light Electric, we've celebrated many milestones in our five-plus year history. Moving into our current building on the Indian River gave us more room as did the expansion into two nearby facilities that gives much-needed space to our R&D crew, our metal spinners, and our shipping experts. The launch last September of our porcelain enamel lighting manufacturing facility was a tremendous step forward as we became the only American manufacturer of the Goodrich®, Ivanhoe® and Benjamin® porcelain lighting styles.

They're also on a mission to make Robot's dreams of becoming the world's most famous inventor, come true! Join them on their journey and be sure to pack plenty of their favorite snack: BACON!

We have stayed in this hotel once a year now for years and it is gradually going downhill. It used to be a Microtel - so 2 adults is about all you are going to get into a room. Rooms are becoming dated now, but hey, the price is pretty good. Breakfast is meager - but adequate - expect only carbohydrates - no protein or fruit, but it is adequate. Staff is friendly and room was reasonably clean. Shower had a bit of mildew and bathroom had a couple of stray hairs.

Just a thought, but I think we should start recruiting kickers outside of the state of Iowa.
Beat Kansas and had made 6 straight, still gotta make that.
I don't do signatures. Blondes, brunettes, and red heads are a different story.
Disapointing, but we are still ok. D will get some turnovers tonight.
No reason we should be giving him that long in the pocket.

Hmm... shame
It's too bad I dislike A Capella, because it sounds pretty epic

It sounds vaguely like Josh Groban, only your a girl.

Anyway, its still great.

Jean Nouvel
The accusations of migrant worker exploitation have marred Jean Nouvel's architectural masterpiece in the Middle East. Nonetheless, it is a turning point in cultural history
Paddy McKillen owns three of London's best-known hotels, and is fighting a bitter battle to keep them: the billionaire Barclay brothers are hot on his heels. The developer (and art collector) tells Jon Henley why the fight goes on
Architecture and design blog The Competition: a documentary that exposes how 'starchitects' really work
Sleepless nights for interns, tearful tantrums, and structures that resemble fossilised turds. A new documentary exposes the world of iconic architecture at its worst
Its state TV headquarters has been called the big underpants. Now China's official newspaper has a phallic tower to match
It was the year of pop-ups and postmodernism – and the playful Frank Gehry went sky high, writes Rowan Moore
It has been designed by Jean Nouvel – but the brown glass walls of this new London shopping centre jar with its City surroundings, writes Jonathan Glancey
Justin McGuirk: The city's avant-garde masterpieces are falling into ruin. It seems only the oligarchs' wives can save them
Carlene Thomas-Bailey: An all-night event at the Serpentine gallery, featuring experimental films and performance, proves anything but sleep-inducing
Award-winning architect Jean Nouvel has finally built in Britain. He tells Jonathan Glancey why he created a 'sun machine' in a London park (complete with ping-pong tables)
Jean Nouvel's architectural vision is truly revolutionary, as can be seen at his two London projects – the Serpentine pavilion and One New Change, next to St Paul's, writes Rowan Moore
Ruth Collins: Jean Nouvel's modern take on traditional architecture deserves recognition for its role in shaping our urban landscapes
Steve Rose: One day he's designing the 2010 Serpentine pavilion, the next the National Museum of Qatar. Jean Nouvel is unstoppable
Sou Fujimoto has been invited to design this year's Serpentine pavilion. As he reveals plans for a lightweight lattice structure that will blend in with the clouds, we look back at all the previous designs
Nouvel invited to take on the 10th commission in London gallery's annual exhibition of temporary architecture
Charles lobbied for Jean Nouvel to be dropped from £500m complex on site yards from masterpiece
Former factory site in Paris to be regenerated by Pritzker prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel
'I regret not becoming a sculptor - my parents refused to pay for me to study art'
Jean Nouvel has won the Pritzker prize. It's about time his delicate genius got its due, says Jonathan Glancey
Périgueux wants to show off its ancient ruins - but it has to protect them as well. Jean Nouvel has found an ingenious way to do both, says Jonathan Glancey.
Architecture: With Jean Nouvel, French architecture has finally emerged from the shadows of Le Corbusier.
Jean Nouvel can't quite make buildings disappear - but he comes close. Jonathan Glancey salutes the winner of this year's Riba Gold Medal

Thermohaline Circulation
Robert Simmon, NASA
This map shows the pattern of thermohaline circulation. This collection of currents is responsible for the large-scale exchange of water masses in the ocean, including providing oxygen to the deep ocean. The entire circulation pattern takes ~2000 years.

Learn more about the Benchmarks
Thermal energy carried by ocean currents has a strong influence on climates around the world. Areas near oceans tend to have more moderate temperatures than they would if they were farther inland but at the same latitude because water in the oceans can hold a large amount of thermal energy.
Transfer of thermal energy between the atmosphere and the land or oceans produces temperature gradients in the atmosphere and the oceans. Regions at different temperatures rise or sink or mix, resulting in winds and ocean currents. These winds and ocean currents, which are also affected by the earth's rotation and the shape of the land, carry thermal energy from warm to cool areas.

Sacramento Philharmonic And Opera Receives $500,000 Lifesaving Donation
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – It's music to their ears. The Sacramento Opera and Philharmonic Orchestra will play on.
They were on the brink of collapse until someone stepped in with a big gift just in time. The donor's identity has been a secret, until now.
The stage was set for a tragic ending.
"Theatrics in the bank account we don't want. Theatrics on the stage we want…we were cutting it very tight," said Sacramento Opera and Philharmonic Orchestra CEO Rob Tannenbaum.
Tannenbaum was planning on asking the city for a subsidy.
"And my CFO comes into the room and she looked a bit dumbfounded," said Tannenbaum.
A gift of a half-million dollars came in the mail.
"There was a moment of what, what, until she put the checks on the table. And there was $250,000 for the opera and $250,000 for the philharmonic," said Tannenbaum.
The two checks came from the family behind Raley's supermarket, headquartered in West Sacramento. Of course the surprise left Tannenbaum singing their high praises.
He immediate responded to the Joyce and Jim Teel Family Foundation.
"I called Joyce to thank her for this gift and it's in memory of her mother, E. Claire Raley," said Tannenbaum.
Tannenbaum says changes are needed to keep arts alive in Sacramento.
"Talking about how can we change the organization so that it has the power to move and talk to people from 2014 and beyond," said.
This half-million-dollar surprise has the CEO singing a whole new song.

"Prerequisite: Book Enoch & Genesis"
I felt I was listening to a compilation of the most bizarre/rare/debatable passages taken from the bible and non-canonical books. The author however did not add much insight to these passages. Instead he brings each one of them to our attention with the purpose of making us think and draw our own conclusions. I'm glad I read the Genesis and the book of Enoch before I listened to this; otherwise I wouldn't have understood it. I felt angry at times because not much additional information was given, I wish the author would have at least offered more… He did a lot of research though, I can tell he spent time going over their history. I wouldn't recommend this book for Christians as it touches a lot on passages from non-canonical books, Alien theories, secular history and non-factual stories. Interesting to listen to nevertheless. I also picked up a couple of new Ideas and concepts I didn't know about.
"Not Impressed"
It sounds like a paragraph taken from Conversations with God. Not Impressed at all.. A $1.00 would have been too much money for it.
"Great Book"
I've read a lot of good post apocalyptic books. Alas Babylon, World War Z, Earth Abides, Patient Zero, Day by Day Armageddon etc etc... This book was amazing. If I had to compare, it reminded me of Day by Day Armageddon but better. Once I finished it, I purchased the second book right away... they are both great.. what's amazing to me is that I was able to submerge myself in the story. .. loved it.
"This AudioBook is Awesome~!"
I've listened to many zombie audio books including World War Z, Plague of the Dead, Day by Day Armageddon, Thunder and Ashes etc and this book is right up there with them. I highly recommend it. Ray Porter this at masterfull job with the narration and I'm looking forward to hearing him again. I just have to say..."Couldn't put my ipod down"

By Mariam Karouny and Oliver Holmes
BEIRUT, July 5 (Reuters) - Syrian troops backed up by helicopters advanced on Thursday into the rebellious northern town of Khan Sheikhoun, activist residents said, one of many fronts being contested by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and pro-democracy rebels.
"(Syrian forces) have entered the town from the southern side. They are burning houses and farms," activist Abu al-Ghaith al-Khani said by Skype, adding that 80 percent of the town's residents had fled.
Rebel fighters suffered heavy loses during battles late on Wednesday night in Khan Sheikhoun, a town in rural Idlib province that straddles the strategic western highway linking Damascus and Aleppo.
Activists said government forces had bombarded the town with mortar bombs on Wednesday night in advance of their assault. They gave an initial death toll of nine people but added that more people might be dead as communication with the area was difficult.
Abu Hamam, a resident of Khan Sheikhoun, said 100 armoured vehicles, tanks and missile launchers had approached the outskirts of the town at dawn and resumed their bombardment.
"Rebels have inflicted major damage on Assad's troops. But at the same time rebels have lost ground," Abu Hamam said.
Rami Abdelrahman, a human rights activist who monitors and records violence in Syria, said in a email that 97 people had been killed on Wednesday in fighting across Syria. Over the past few weeks, daily death tolls of over a hundred have become common.
Western and Arab states who want Assad to step down to help end the crisis meet in Paris on Friday as the "Friends of Syria", a group that excludes Assad's main backer, Russia, and fellow U.N. Security Council veto-holder China.
Diplomatic efforts by a divided international community have so far been ineffective in stopping the violence.
Residents said mortar bombs were exploding in central districts of Homs, Syria's third largest city, where whole neighbourhoods have been destroyed. Despite repeated assaults by Assad's forces, rebels have still managed to keep a foothold.
A resident of the battered Khalidiya district in Homs said that the city was surrounded by artillery and troops.
"The regime has imposed a crippling siege in most of the anti-government areas of Homs," Saif al-Arabi said by Skype. "We can't get the wounded out."
A popular revolt, which started with peaceful pro-democracy protests in March 2011, has turned into a virtual civil war as the government's crackdown has triggered an armed uprising.
Now Assad is fighting rebels on the outskirts of the capital. Opposition activists in the town of Harasta, just a few miles from central Damascus, reported heavy artillery fire for government forces on Thursday morning.
Opposition leaders and Western governments say over 15,000 people have been killed in the uprising. The government says "terrorist gangs" steered from abroad have killed several thousand troops and police. (Additional reporting by Khaled Yacoub Oweis in Hatay, Turkey; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice tweets:
@ AmbassadorRice : #Syria regime turned artillery, tanks and helicopters on its own men & women. It unleashed knife-wielding shabiha gangs on its own children. |
Russia says international envoy Kofi Annan will visit Moscow on Monday to discuss the ongoing crisis in Syria. Russia also called for an inquiry into an alleged massacre that took place in the village of Tramseh on Thursday. "We have no doubt that this wrongdoing serves the interests of those powers that are not seeking peace but persistently seek to sow the seeds of interconfessional and civilian conflict on Syrian soil," Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement, according to Reuters. Moscow did not apportion blame for the killings.
Read more on Reuters.com.
The Associated Press obtained a video that purports to show the aftermath of an alleged massacre in the village of Tramseh, near Hama.
How do Syria's fighters get their arms? An overview put together by Reuters explains that there are three gateways to the country -- Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq.
Syrian rebels are smuggling small arms into Syria through a network of land and sea routes involving cargo ships and trucks moving through Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq, maritime intelligence and Free Syrian Army (FSA) officers say. Western and regional powers deny any suggestion they are involved in gun running. Their interest in the sensitive border region lies rather in screening to ensure powerful weapons such as surface to air missiles do not find their way to Islamist or other militants.
Read the full report here.
According to the Hama Revolutionary Council, a Syrian opposition group, more than 220 people have been killed in a new alleged massacre in Taramseh. Earlier reports said more than 100 people were killed. "More than 220 people fell today in Taramseh," the Council said in a statement. "They died from bombardment by tanks and helicopters, artillery shelling and summary executions."
Fadi Sameh, an opposition activist from Taramseh, told Reuters he had left the town before the reported massacre but was in touch with residents. "It appears that Alawite militiamen from surrounding villages descended on Taramseh after its rebel defenders pulled out, and started killing the people. Whole houses have been destroyed and burned from the shelling," Sameh claimed.
Read more on Reuters.com.
Syrian activist Rami Jarrah tweets that Syrian State TV has confirmed deaths in Tremseh. "Terrorists" is often the term used by the Syrian regime for opposition forces.

Congratulations to the next President of these United States.
President Barack Obama.
Concede already Hillary. its over.
Why bother voting when we have superdelegates?
Delegates in Michigan only get 1/2 a vote.
And I SINCERELY hope Hillary goes Independent......SHE will win!!! Obama is not experienced enough at this point.....McCain, I'd rather have the same verses another Carter (and in my opinion, even worse than this great man's unfortunate legacy.)
Statements of support" are not the same as VOTES! No one cares who the party dems want. The voters chose Hillary.
Gary, Florida superdelegates are only half people. It's kind of like long ago when blacks only got three-fifths of a vote.
Gary, I didn't read the entire list, but according to the punishment meted out by the DNC Rules and By-Laws Committee Saturday, Michigan and Florida SD's only get half a vote. One or more of the SD's in the 26.5 are from one of those states.
Old Washington politics will welcome him. They will walk all over an unexperinced President. The news people will have a hay day over the stupid mistakes
Congratulations to Obama and all his supporters!
A well deserved win for a person who inspire people all over the world !
I just have to laugh at Helen from NY, who commented, "This is the end of the Democratic party." That comment shows just how out of touch with reality most Republicans are, including the reality that the nation will not tolerate four more years of the failed policies of George W. Bush. Open your eyes, Helen! Millions of Americans have rallied and voted for the first time in support of the Democratic nominee. The Democratic party hasn't been this strong in years!
Listen you Clinton/McCain supporters...no matter WHAT you do no matter WHAT happens no matter WHERE this election will go, Clinton will NEVER support a republican and will work her hardest for the democratic party. I am positive that no matter what happens she has given hints that she will be behind Obama 100% within the next few weeks. So join your candidate's party and follow Hillary's interests because your threats are hollow and Obama WILL be the next President.
What a wonderful historic night this is. NO ONE canchange this night....not even the Clintons. She hid in the basement to keep her supporters with no cell phone reception, no tv monitors from realizing history had been made before she began to speak. No VP slot for her.
Change We Can Believe In
I am so proud to be an AMERICAN and an OBAMA supporter. Hillary Clinton is a SCORNED WOMAN, AND SHE WILL DO ANYTHING SHE CAN TO HAVE THINGS HER WAY... REMEMBER HILLARY THIS IS NOT MONICA AND BILL. YOU CAN'T BULLDOZE YOUR WAY IN THIS ELECTION.....
Jay get a grip & learn to spell it's lose not loose. Probably why you are voting for the wrong person. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA........SAY IT IT'S EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally hope the NY party bosses realize that Hillary is not for the party but for herself.
Obama and his supporters have driven millions of Hillary supporters away from the Democratic Party. You are all crazy if you think that we will fall in line in the fall!
Ha, Ha, Ha you may have gotten the nominee, but you can't win without us, and there is not a chance that we will vote for your King Obama! The election was stolen from the people by the MSM and the Democratic elite! You can spew what hate you want at us, but we will not follow such an inexperience and scary nominee for the Presidency of the USA.
How rude of Hillary, she said hardly anything of Obama it was all me me me me me, as if there was more contests to come. Even the people behind her were smug and did not even clap for Obama, what a bunch of jerks.
Congrats! Senator Obama. Historic for the people of t6he USA. The challenge is not over as you stated....A new fight begins today.
OBAMA for President. 08/12
I think you need to re-look at your numbers. His did not win popular vote. Congratulations to Sen. Obama. She got what was coming and she is self serving and she's out of there.
Go Obama. You and America have made history. I can't wait to the the election in the Fall. McSame doesn't have a chance. He looked and sounded so bad tonight. If he keeps up like that Obama won't have to fight. Notice how McSame copied Obama's Change we can believe in slogan. Should be copying his policies instead of idiot Bush's. What a loser.
I am so proud tonight as so many of others are feeling......it is a new day in thinking and politics and it is up to us to pull together and think about America first. Thanks to all who felt the dream.......Obama 2008
Please Hillary don't take the VP slot if offered! Let Obama, his supporters, and the DNC go down in flames in November!

Some time ago I proposed a planned, fluctuating, stepped gas tax, not sure if that was to the blog or somewhere else though. I'll try to find the link.
Anyway, my thinking was that unpredictable gas prices were more painful than high gas prices, so the gas tax should fluctuate to counter the changes in oil prices, with a planned increase over the years (e.g., if we started at $1.20/L this year, next year we'd know the price of gas would be $1.30/L, whether that was due to the oil price increasing and the taxes decreasing, or the taxes ratcheting up to take in the slack).It's far from a perfect plan :)
It also wouldn't work in a large market -- Ontario might be able to pull it off, but all of Canada couldn't. In part because you need the "free market" neighbours to help determine the tax rate, and in part because some price spikes are due to supply/demand imbalances, and you can't necessarily remove the demand buffer of higher prices (unless you also put in quotas or are willing to deal with shortages).

KOCHI: The Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R K Dhowan today said that the Indian Navy has taken a serious note of the recent accidents involving its submarines and the probe reports are in different stages. Responding to queries if probe reports on mishaps concerning naval ships and submarines had been submitted, he said, What was important is that even before the probe report has been submitted, some stringent recommendations have been made on measures to be taken and these have been communicated to every single platform of the Indian Navy including ships, submarines and aircraft. The intention is that we should operate these platforms in a professional manner to ensure that we follow procedures and see that we do not make mistakes, Dhowan said. About some reports quoting Q branch police at Chennai that interrogation of a Sri Lankan national, a suspected ISI agent arrested recently, revealed that there were plans to attack the Southern Naval command and Ezhimala Naval academy, he said We are always alert. We are a fighting force and we will always be alert to take on any contingency and the aspect of safety and security of our assets and personnel is of paramount importance. Asked if the Navys confidence had been dented with the series of accidents, the Naval chief said being a professional service, the navy would work as a team to ensure that the prestige of white uniform and confidence of the nation in the navy is restored. He said that the Indian Ocean region was of primary interest both from operational angle as well as professional angle for the Indian navy. In the maritime domain, that region was the focus of the world, Dhowan said. So we have to take into account every aspect of threat perception that exists in our waters. If there is any specific input that comes in, then we take specific note of it, he said. On taking in foreign cadets at the naval academy at Ezhimala, he said Our requirement was first to consolidate the infrastructure and other facilities. It is now our intention to examine the feasibility of commencing this from December this year. When asked about the proposed ship design facility at Kozhikode, the Admiral said it would be set up in phases. And once set up, it will have a repository of various aspects of design and construction in the country. On upgradation of training aspects in Navy, Dhowan said the Navys plan of modernization was in accordance with its long term maritime capability in respective classes. So what is being inducted into the Navy is in accordance with that plan, he said. Earlier, addressing naval personnel, Dhowan said the accidents in the last few months had dented the image of the force to some extent. Our efforts should be to work unitedly and restore the navys prestige and professional image. We have worn white uniforms and each one of us should maintain its prestige, he said PTI |

War questions for Mike Huckabee Update: Video added Update: Huckabee wanted to keep Gitmo open as late as June 2007 Update: New video added; Update: Huckabee issues statement
posted at 10:43 am on December 4, 2007 by Bryan
Gov. Huckabee, I have a couple of questions for you.
Today's Washington Post says that after a meeting with some unnamed former generals, you've decided that waterboarding should be outlawed and that, more importantly, the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay should be closed.
After the Iowa poll showed that Republican voters like him but found him much less "presidential" and "electable" than Romney, Huckabee sought to build his foreign policy credentials, meeting with a group of retired generals who are in Des Moines to urge the 2008 candidates to commit to opposing torture. After the meeting, Huckabee joined Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in declaring his opposition to the interrogation procedure known as "waterboarding," and said he would support closing the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a contrast with the other leading Republicans.
That paragraph suggests that you're easily swayed by a single meeting on important issues that have been before the American people for years. I won't ask you a "when did you stop beating your wife" kind of question based on that observation, though. Instead, I'll ask these questions:
Is the Post's account accurate? Is it true that you now favor closing Gitmo? If so, what are the details of that position? President Bush has also said that he would like to close Gitmo, but recognizes that the detainees still have to be kept out of the war or they will once again pose a threat to US troops and civilians around the world, so he has kept the facility open in the face of worldwide condemnation. Was he right to do that? What would President Huckabee have done? Would you close it as soon as possible, would you close it only at the cessation of hostilities with al Qaeda, or do you have some other timing in mind? If your position is to close the facility as soon as possible, what would you do with the inmates held there? Would you put the likes of Khalid Sheik Mohammed in the US civilian criminal justice system, as many Democrats and the ACLU argue should be done? Would you attempt to repatriate the inmates to their countries of origin? Are you aware that the Bush administration has tried to repatriate many of the Gitmo inmates, and their countries of origin don't want them? Are you aware that about a dozen former Gitmo inmates who have been released have turned up on battlefields, fighting once again against US and coalition forces?
Specifically, what is it that you find problematic about Guantanamo? Are the conditions of incarceration too harsh? How would you have handled the detainees differently from the Bush administration?
And last, if waterboarding is off the table, how would your administration extract information from captured terrorist masterminds like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?
Update: Here's video of Huckabee addressing the symbolism of Guantanamo.
MIKE HUCKABEE: I've been to Guantanamo, I was there, I guess it's been about a year and a half ago. I think the problem with Guantanamo is not in that its facilities are inadequate. It's the symbol that it represents. It's clearly become a symbol to the rest of the world as a place that has become problematic for us as a nation. I was quite frankly impressed with the quality of the facilities and even the attention to care that was given to the detainees, but that aside, it doesn't alter that Guantanamo to the rest of the world is a symbol that is not in our best interests to continue pursuing.
My take: He's putting symbolism over substance and putting worldwide condemnation ahead of the security realities. Those are not good qualities in a commander in chief who'll lead a country that was globally envied and reviled long before the war even started.
Update (AP): Is Huck too moralistic to be C-in-C? Paul Mirengoff thinks so: "Waterboarding and long-term detention aren't very 'Christian'; they merely keep terrorists out of action and, in special circumstances enable us to find out where we're going to be attacked next and/or where we can find those who are planning the next attacks."
Update: Reader Chris sends this story along. It's from June 11, 2007. Huckabee's opinion on Gitmo was the opposite of what it is now.
Detainees being held at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on suspicion of connections to terrorism enjoy conditions better than many prisons in the United States, Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee said Sunday.
While the government's handling of Guantanamo detainees has come to symbolize "what's gone wrong" in the fight against terrorism, the former Arkansas governor said, it's better to err on the side of protecting the American people.
The former Arkansas governor, who has visited Guantanamo, said Arkansas prisoners most likely would prefer Guantanamo to incarceration in Arkansas.
"I can tell you most of our prisoners would love to be in a facility more like Guantanamo and less like the state prisons that people are in in the United States," Huckabee said on a cable news network.
"It's (Guantanamo) more symbolic than it is a substantive issue because people perceive of mistreatment when in fact there are extraordinary means being taken to make sure these detainees are being given really every consideration," he said.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has said Guantanamo should be closed and others have criticized the federal government for holding suspects indefinitely and apparently without evidence. Huckabee said he understands these concerns.
"But I tell you if we let somebody out and it turns out that they come and fly an airliner into one of our skyscrapers, we're going to be asking how come we didn't stop them, we had them detained," he said. "If we're going to make a mistake right now, let's make it on the side of protecting the American people."
Gov. Huckabee, was Gen. Colin Powell among the generals you met with in Des Moines?
Update: Here's Huckabee's video from earlier today on Fox. I've left in part of his answer regarding why he's drawing support to give you a sense of how smooth a speaker Huckabee is. He's good without coming across as slick or fake. But that doesn't make him right, and on Gitmo he's just wrong. As you'll see in this clip, he makes a point of saying that closing Gitmo doesn't mean releasing the terrorist, and that he'd like to move them elsewhere and close Gitmo since it has become a counterproductive symbol of the war.
So where would Huckabee put the detainees? He doesn't say, and doesn't seem to know. What would he do if that new location also becomes a counterproductive symbol of the war to America's critics? He doesn't say, and doesn't appear to have considered the possibility.
Update: Our host is having a bad time with this clip. Hopefully the issue will resolve soon.
Update (AP): Here's the statement from the Huckabee campaign.
The men and women of our armed forces have served and acted honorably in their duties at Guantanamo Bay and we greatly appreciate their service in keeping our nation free, safe, and secure. I have visited Guantanamo Bay and know that the detainees are more than adequately cared for. My concern is that the facility has become a distraction from our Global War on Terror and that other facilities, like Fort Leavenworth, can serve the same purpose without the controversy.
As for specific procedures concerning detainee adjudication, like all Americans, I await the Supreme Courts ruling in the Boumediene case, which will determine if detainees have habeus corpus rights. As President, my overriding concern in dealing with the suspected terrorists will always be our national security interests. I want to reiterate, as I stated in June, that my first priority will be the protection of the American people and ensuring that all suspected terrorists remain in our custody.
Update (Bryan): Ok, so now we know he wants to put the detainees at Leavenworth. If SCOTUS doesn't grant them habeus corpus, that move is likely to as the nearest federal judge will have the ACLU camped out in his inbox. What then? And what happens when the Gitmo critics just move on to start criticizing us for holding the detainees at Leavenworth? The end result of Huckabee's stance will be to grant the detainees full rights in US civilian courts, either that or freeing them, since he won't take the stand that our detaining them at Gitmo is both lawful and humane and has established the precedent that he'll retreat in the face of unfair and unreasonable criticism of the US.
Sorry, Governor, no sale here.

Fiber cement board
I have fiber cement siding on my home. When the home was built the siding was put up to the window and sliding door frames. To put in new windows I would have to remove the siding to be able to remove the window. I want to put recessed trim around the windows and doors to dress up the curb appeal and to be able to remove a window in the future without having to remove the siding.
I'm thinking that I could make a 3 5/8" cut around each item at a depth down to the exterior sheeting and then peel out the siding from the cut line to the frame. Once this is done I would insert a 2X4 in the opening and caulk. Also, two of the windows are about 5' X 6'. They are arched at the top. I'm not sure how I would cut the ached area? Does this sound like the right approach or is there a better and maybe easier way of doing this? Any suggestions? Thanks Bob |
Welcome to the forum Skibob.
You have the basic idea except at first only cut the siding back a couple of inches to get the old window out and the new one in. after the window is in hold your new trim against the window and scribe the siding and cut again. This will assure a better fit for the trim. Be sure not to cut the weather barrier, set the saw a little short and you can easily finish the cut with a razor knife or sharp chisel. You should be able to cut the arch the same way if you're careful . |
If I damage the weather barrier is it acceptable to reseal it with something like silicone of rubber cement.
Also, I think I would have a lot of trouble cutting the arch with a circular saw. Would an oscillating tool be better to cut the arch or would it be to slow? |
You should make "not cutting the WB" one of the main goals of the project.
I'd use my little trim saw on the arch. Can't comment on the oscillating tool, I'm probably the only one out there without one. To date I've never ran into a situation that my other tools couldn't handle. |
