Second unearthed DSLR image, from the same session as Serpentarius.
Edited for crop, and removed from scraps. I've warmed to this piece over time.
Outstanding contrast and interesting concept. It somehow makes me think of music and if this was a visual representation of a song, I am sure it would sound enthralling.
Thank-you for the comment, it is most appreciated. I'm glad you garnered that aesthetic from the piece; it's what I was aiming for.
Heh; many thanks, it's appreciated. It took me a long time to learn to like this one; I think we're our own worst critics from time to time.
Thank-you for the comment, it's appreciated. It took me a long time to be content with this image myself; it sat in my scraps for years before I recently went through my old work and realised that, actually, I quite like it.
I'm afraid to walk through it. Even though I know it was an illusion. That's what I feel!
Great work, my friend.
Great work, my friend.

Republicans target left's pet causes |
If Republicans break through the spending gridlock that has seized Capitol Hill, the rest of their agenda is starting to come into focus: defunding, investigating and otherwise beating up on liberal causes. "The committee will of course conduct rigorous oversight, but it does not 'target' any group and does not target anyone based on their political views. AARP came under the microscope because they inexplicably (at the time) endorsed over one-half trillion dollars in cuts to seniors' Medicare benefits," Ways and Means deputy staff director Sage Eastman said in an email. "We now have a better idea of why they may have done so; as the report suggests, they stand to reap over $1 billion in profits from cuts to the very seniors they claim to represent." |

The cleaning, maintenance and restoration industries were well represented and staked their claim during this first day of Surfaces 2001 as thousands flocked to the Sands Expo Center to see the latest products available to the floor covering industry.
Hundreds of exhibitors, many with large-scale, extravagant booths, attracted the attention of product- and information-hungry crowds.
Among the booths that commanded the highest attention in the maintenance and restoration industry was Chemspec with its elaborate set-up of products, demonstrations and technological advancements that included StoneTech Professional products.
Also commanding their fair share of attention were industry notables such as Prochem, Chemspec, Host, 3M, DuPont, as well as many others. When asked about the visible decline in attendance compared to Surfaces 2000, both
Claudia Ramirez of StoneTech Professional and Dave Ritterling of Prochem said the decline hadn't hurt their foot traffic as both exhibits were receiving a large amount of interest from visitors.
Several industry associations, such as ASCR and the IICRC, were also well represented and enthusiastically receiving many visitors to their exhibits.
Those that missed the opportunity to see the debut of many new product lines truly missed an opportunity in education.
Education was definitely a hot topic today. The seminars received a high volume of registrants-- the increased volume of attendees was definitely noticeable. ICS columnist Tom Hill took center stage during the morning sessions in his presentation that addressed carpet maintenance as the missing link.
Floor Covering Installer magazine, sister publication to ICS', held its own in a sold out session that featured a panel on "Troubleshooting Installation Problems." Moderated by FCI editor Jeff Stouffer (seated, far left), the panel was comprised of industry veterans Ken Knudtzon, Ray Thompson Jr. and Joe Grady.

Binding Hardware
Hey everyone,
So I'm a beginner in snowboarding, and I just bought a used 08 burton custom snowboard and burton custom bindings off ebay. However, the bindings do not come with hardware. I've checked different sites, but couldn't find much on this topic. Some people have recommended going to home depot for screws, but i'm not so sure i'd like to do that. Does anyone know what I need to buy or use? Is the hardware universal? Thanks, all help is appreciated! These are the bindings |

Agreed with all above... those definitely aren't 2008 bindings. I'd get a refund or report the seller to eBay for false claims. Unless he stated that the bindings were purchased in '08 in which case you are SOL.

My mistake, I actually meant the board was 08, and that I bought random burton custom bindings. I was under the impression that they worked fine, and I needed something for the upcoming spring break. Anyways, here's the board:
I hear it's good, but maybe that was a lie too! So I should just wait until I go up to the mountains and have them fix it for me? All the snowboard shops i could find aren't so close to me. Do you think general sport shops would have hardware? Thanks! |

During her testimony at a Senate Environment Committee meeting, Environmental Protection Commissioner Lisa Jackson said of the Highlands master plan, "It's good science, not great science."
Science? Some aspects of the plan don't seem based on science at all -- good, bad or indifferent. Take the "conditional water analysis." This allows developers to build if they promise they will not only restore the water used but magically increase the aquifer by 25 percent. This sounds more like medieval alchemy than 21st-century science.
There is no proof that it will work, especially in an area with the complex geology of the Highlands. Possibly by being extremely careful and very creative, developers could perform this recharge in as few as 50 years or as many as 100,000. But since the recharge has to be accomplished within five years after a development is complete, they'd better be planning to keep building for a very long time.

The favorite: Top-seeded Kittatinny, No. 10 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, is the overwhelming odds-on pick to win the section. The Sussex County squad has only lost twice this season, with both defeats coming at the hands of ranked teams in No. 4 Bound Brook and No. 9 Phillipsburg. On the flip side, coach John Gill's squad has defeated two Top 20 teams this year in No. 14 High Point and No. 18 Voorhees.
The contender: The section's second seed, Emerson Boro, has some quality wins to its name, including victories over fifth-seeded Pascack Hills, Nutley, Randolph and Becton. Emerson is also battle-tested, having wrestled teams such as Northern Highlands, River Dell, Passaic Valley and No. 19 Roxbury.
The dark horse: Third-seeded Lenape Valley has been plagued by injuries all season long, leading to it seemingly alternating wins and losses all season long, with several consecutive losses to begin the year leading to a lopsided record. But if the Stanhope school can put a full lineup, or something close to it, on the mat, it could find itself in the sectional finals.
The rest of the field: Fourth-seeded Pequannock and sixth-seeded Wallkill Valley.
Regular season meetings: Kittatinny has wins over Lenape Valley (BOX) and Wallkill Valley (BOX). Lenape Valley owns a win over Wallkill Valley (BOX). And Emerson Boro has a triumph over Pascack Hills (BOX).
The pick: It's very difficult to envision any scenario where the top-seeded team doesn't win the section. Kittatinny wins its 18th all-time sectional crown and its third straight, defeating Emerson Boro in the finals.

A Cat On a Dog With a Rat
This past weekend I went to the Fort Worth Arts Festival. Parking was a pain as always, but I knew it would be worth the hassle once we got to Sundance Square. The elevator stopped on every floor in the parking garage and was filled to max capacity by the time we got to level four. I was wedged between sweaty-bearded-guy, happy-husband, and elevator-button-panel-that-hadn't-seen-a-cleaning-rag-in-who-knows-how-long. So, you can imagine my panicked expression when the doors opened on the second floor, revealing father-with-gargantuan-stroller and wife-with-fussy-baby.
You know what came next… "Maybe we could fit." My OCD kicked in as I reached for grimy-door-open-button to be courteous. I could feel the sweat beading up on the back of my hand, and I'd swear there was a polarity clash because my finger was mysteriously repelled by the grotesque aura coming from the seriously-needed-some-antibacterial wash-button-panel. After a quick study, father-with-gargantuan-stroller realized his crew would not fit into the two-foot by two-foot space that was available between happy-husband and family-of-five-with-backs-turned-to-us, saving me and my finger from exposure to germus maximus.
One more drop, and we were home free. When the doors opened I had a flashback from two years prior when a person in a full-blown, Stormtrooper costume greeted happy-husband and me on the street level. Since, we'd learned to expect the unexpected, and this year did not disappoint. Following the crowd through the streets we came to the first crosswalk where we saw the most awesome thing ever—mainly because I'm a pet person. A man named Gregory Pike had a mouse sitting on a cat sitting on a dog on a leash in the middle of the Square. Their names are Booger, Kitty and Mousey, and you can see tons of videos of them online. Sadly I did not have my camera, but you can visit their Web site if you're interested.
Booger, Kitty and Mousey were the highlight of my day. The festival was packed with artists showcasing in just about every medium. One of my favorites was a man from Canada who did a series of prints on plaster. It was a blast and gave me more story ideas than I could ask for.
My suggestion is to venture out and do something fun this month. You never know who or what you'll see. And, if you happen to run into me on an elevator, please know that I will push the button for you if needed. Now, if it's a bathroom door that needs opening, and there are no paper towels around and I have no jacket hemline to assist, you're on your own.
3 comments:
Sounds like a blast. And good advice on getting out too. Just the other day, I was saying to the wife that we needed to get out and do some more outdoor stuff--maybe not as cool as seeing Booger and crew, but fun nonetheless.
BTW, thanks for stopping by my place and becoming a follower. It's much appreciated. :)Training the dog for that display would be easy. Training the mouse for this pyramid formation, I can see. But training the cat for such a trick, now that would be tough! Especially since it is wedged between the dog and the mouse! In my experience, when I want a cat to do something, it does the exact opposite! Too funny! Thanks for sharing! Love you! See you in 2 days!

I saw the lighting storm forming in the distance as we exited the restaurant in Southeast Portland, so I headed to this favorite panorama image site that like to make memorable Portland skyline photographs from. The lightning was flashing almost constantly for over several hours. I made about a hundred images and combined the best for this striking 180 degree panorama photograph with the Tilikum Crossing Bridge and New Hampton Opera Center.

Song Title: Saturday Night in Toledo, Ohio
Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio is like being nowhere at all
All through the day how the hours rush by
You sit in the park and you watch the grass die!
Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight
When shadows of night start to fall
They roll back the sidewalk precisely at ten
And people who live there are not seen again!
Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana
And a salesman from places unknown (-ces unknown)
All huddled together in downtown Toledo
To spend their big night all alone!
You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio? Well I spent a week there one day
They've got entertainment to dazzle your eyes
Go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise!
Ah, but let's not forget that the folks of Toledo
Unselfishly gave us the scale
No springs, honest weight, that's the promise they made
So smile and be thankful next time you get weighed!
And "wiv and wet wiv", let this be our motto
Let's let the sleeping dogs lie (-ping dogs lie)
And here's to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio
Ladies, we bid you goodbye!

Did Avenged Sevenfold mean for the initial artwork for Hail To The King to be released to the media, or did they realize that it was just terrible? Either way, it appears to have been replaced with improved graphics.
According to numerous sources, the artwork first seen for the album (out on August 27) is not the cover art for the actual album. In fact, it wasn't even the finished cover artwork for the single, which made its way online and on radio earlier this week.
Apparently THIS was the original cover for the single:
And now a completely different album cover (the one seen above) is being marketed through the band's website and on iTunes
We must admit, we were a little scared ourselves when the oddly shaded 3D images came in front of our eyes. No matter what the story behind the artistic decision, we are glad balance has been restored to the album art universe.

People were saying the original cover was a rip off of the artwork for the Lich King album World Gone Dead so they changed it. I guess they decided that ripping off the Overkill logo was much better marketing?
I realize the deathbat was Overkill's, but all in all, much better choice. The orginal art seemed like a poorly detailed City of Evil style cover, except with the whole "Hail to the King" theme. I was pleasantly surprised by the much classier and simpler art when I downloaded the single. But what really matters is the sound. Hail to the King was nice, but it wasn't a "Nightmare" or "Beast and the Harlot." Basically fine, but a little monotonous and not their best. Hope the rest of the album improves, but for now I won't preorder.
The artwork they should have used — http://instagram.com/p/b7r70Yl3UB/

Terrorism in Yemen
In the War on Terrorism in Yemen, the US government describes Yemen as "an important partner in the global war on terrorism".[1]
Attacks against civilian targets[edit]
On December 30, 2002, a suspected Islamic fundamentalist killed three US workers and wounded one in a hospital in Jibla, using a semi-automatic rifle. The suspect was arrested and identified as Abid Abdulrazzaq Al-Kamil.[2]
Jews in Yemen reportedly fled their homes due to threats from Muslim extremists. A notable incident was the murder of Moshe Ya'ish al-Nahari of Raydah in December 2008.
Al Qaeda members sent letters to 45 Jews living in al-Salem, near Sanaa, on January 19, 2007, accusing them of involvement in an "international Zionist conspiracy". The letters said that if the Jews did not abandon their homes in ten days, they would be abducted and murdered and their homes would be looted. The Jewish community sent a complaint to President Abdullah Salah and are temporarily staying in a hotel near Sanaa. The Yemeni government has promised that their homes will be protected and they may return to them.[3]
On September 17, 2008, Al Qaeda militants attacked the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a. 20 people were killed, including: six militants, six policemen and seven civilians. One American was among those killed.
Attacks on tourists[edit]
On July 2, 2007, a suicide bomber killed eight Spanish tourists and their two Yemeni drivers in Ma'rib.
On January 18, 2008, Al Qaeda militants opened fire on a convoy of tourists in Hadhramaut killing two Belgian tourists and two Yemenis, the tourists' driver and their guide.
Attacks targeted South Korean tourists in March 2009. Four Korean tourists alongside their local Yemeni guide were killed. Two attackers also died.
2010 cargo plane bomb plot[edit]
On October 29, 2010, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the device in a package sent from Yemen and found on a US-bound cargo plane was designed to go off on the aircraft. But Cameron said investigators could not yet be certain about when the device, intercepted at East Midlands Airport, was supposed to explode. A second device containing explosives was found on a cargo plane in Dubai. The US suspected al-Qaeda involvement.
In Yemen, police arrested but later released a woman suspected of posting the packages. President Ali Abdullah Saleh pledged that his country would continue fighting al-Qaeda "in co-operation with its partners". "But we do not want anyone to interfere in Yemeni affairs by hunting down al-Qaeda," he added, as heavily armed troops patrolled Sanaa. Yemeni authorities also closed down the local offices of the US cargo firms United Parcel Service and FedEx, who had already suspended all shipments out of the country and pledged full co-operation with investigators. US President Barack Obama's national security adviser, John Brennan, has phoned Saleh to offer US help in fighting al-Qaeda, the White House said.
The explosive devices, which triggered security alerts in the US, UK, and Middle East, were apparently both inserted in printer cartridges and placed in packages addressed to synagogues in the Chicago area. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) - an explosive favoured by the Yemeni-based militant group, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) - was discovered in both devices. Obama discussed the apparent terrorist plot with Cameron by phone, expressing his "appreciation for the professionalism of American and British services involved" in disrupting it.
Later, Cameron told reporters at his country residence, Chequers, that it was believed the explosive device intercepted at East Midlands Airport was "designed to go off on the aeroplane". "We cannot be sure about when that was supposed to take place," he added. "There is no early evidence that it was meant to take place over British soil, but of course we cannot rule it out." The prime minister said the authorities had immediately banned packages coming to or through the UK from Yemen, and would be "looking extremely carefully at any further steps we have to take". UK Home Secretary Theresa May said the government did not believe the plotters would have known the location of the device when it was planned to explode. While details of the device found in Britain were not released, photographs emerged on the US media of an ink toner cartridge covered in white powder and connected to a circuit board. The British government's remarks suggest the authorities in both the UK and the US remain uncertain about the precise targets and, indeed, aim of this latest apparent plot. According to Dubai police, the explosives they found were also inside the toner cartridge of a printer, placed in a cardboard box containing English-language books and souvenirs.The cartridge contained PETN and plastic explosives mixed with lead azide, they said. Lead azide is an explosive commonly used in detonators. "The device was prepared in a professional manner and equipped with an electrical circuit linked to a mobile telephone [Sim] card concealed in the printer," the police said. For US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the plot bore "all the hallmarks of al-Qaeda and in particular [AQAP]". Unnamed US officials quoted by the Associated Press said al-Qaeda's explosives expert in Yemen, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, was the likely suspect behind the bomb-making. They said Asiri had helped make the bomb used in the failed Detroit Christmas Day bomb attack and another PETN device used in a failed suicide attack against a top Saudi counter-terrorism official last year. The White House has said Saudi Arabia provided information that helped identify the threat, while the UK's Daily Telegraph reported that an MI6 officer responsible for Yemen had received a tip-off.
Military/police counter-terrorism operations[edit]
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, President Ali Abdullah Saleh made an effort to eliminate the Islamist militant presence. By November 2002, Yemeni government troops detained 104 suspected al-Qaeda members.[4]
In December 2001, a search by government forces for two Yemeni believed to be senior al Qaeda members hiding near Ma'rib led to a gun battle with tribesmen which ended in the deaths of 34 people, including 18 soldiers. To defuse the situation, ten Ma'rib sheiks were detained as hostages of the state in comfortable rooms in the presidential palace for 35 days, until 43 lesser tribesmen took their place.[5]
In the first months of 2002 the Bush Administration approved sending about 100 Special Operations Forces to Yemen, a power base for Al Qaeda.[6]
In November 2002, six Yemenis suspected of being members of al Qaeda were blown up in their car in the province of Marib by a Hellfire missile attack from an unmanned CIA RQ-1 Predator aircraft. Among the dead was Abu Ali al-Harithi.[7]
In 2004, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC-TV) international affairs program "Foreign Correspondent" investigated this targeted killing and the involvement of then US Ambassador as part of a special report titled "The Yemen Option". The report also examined the evolving tactics and countermeasures in dealing with Al Qaeda inspired attacks.[8]
In December 2002, Spanish troops boarded and detained a ship, at the request of the United States, that was transporting Scud missiles from North Korea to Yemen. After two days, when the United States determined it had no right under international law to continue to detain the shipment, they let it continue on to Yemen.[9][10]
On July 30, 2009, three soldiers were killed in a clash with al-Qaeda militants in Marib province.[11]
A raid on an alleged al-Qaeda camp on December 17, 2009, led to the deaths of 46 civilians, 14 of which were female and 21 were children ABC News reported that US cruise missiles were part of the bombardment of the camps, which targeted Abu Hureira Qasm al-Rimi.[12] A local official and a tribal source claimed that 49 civilians, including 23 women and 17 children, were among those killed in the strike. The same day a clash between security forces and al-Qaeda members in Abhar left four militants dead.[13]
An air raid targeted an al-Qaeda meeting in Wadi Rafadh in Shabwa province on December 24, 2009. Another 34 al-Qaeda militants were killed in the attack. Among the dead were also Saudis and Iranians, according to the security forces. The number of al-Qaeda members arrested in the previous week rose to 29.[13]
US air attacks[edit]
The U.S. first said it used targeted killing in November 2002, with the cooperation and approval of the government of Yemen.[14][15] A CIA-controlled Predator drone fired a Hellfire missile at a SUV in the Yemeni desert containing Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi, a Yemeni suspected senior al-Qaeda lieutenant believed to have been the mastermind behind the October 2000 USS Cole bombing that killed 17 Americans.[14][15][16] He was on a list of targets whose capture or death had been called for by US President George W. Bush.[14] In addition to al-Harethi, five other occupants of the SUV were killed, all of whom were suspected al-Qaeda terrorists, and one of whom (Kamal Derwish) was an American.[14][17][3]
On December 17, 2009, the village of Al Ma`jalah was hit by a cruise missile, killing 41 people, including 14 women, 21 children, and 14 alleged al-Qaeda members. While the Yemeni government initially took responsibility, photographs of American components and a Wikileaks cable suggest that it was carried out by the United States.[18]
In May 2010 an errant US drone attack targeting al Qaeda terrorists in Wadi Abida, Yemen, killed five people, among them Jaber al-Shabwani, deputy governor of Maarib province who was mediating between the government and the militants. The killing so angered Shabwani's tribesmen that in the subsequent weeks they fought heavily with government security forces, twice attacking a major oil pipeline in Maarib.[19]
On May 5, 2011, a missile fired from a U.S. drone killed Abdullah and Mosaad Mubarak, brothers who may have been militants. The missile was fired on their car and both died instantly.[20][21] The strike was aimed at killing Anwar al-Awlaki, but al-Awlaki appears to have survived.[22]
On 3 June 2011 American manned jets or drones attacked and killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, a midlevel al-Qaeda operative, and several other militant suspects, including Ammar Abadah Nasser al-Wa'eli, in a strike in southern Yemen.[23] Four civilians were also reportedly killed in the strike. The strike was reportedly coordinated by American special forces and CIA operatives based in Sana.[24] According to the Associated Press, in 2011 the US government began building an airbase near or in Yemen from which the CIA and US military plans to operate drones over Yemen.[25][26] The Washington Post reported that the US previously used a base in Djibouti to operate drones over Yemen.[27] The Wall Street Journal reports that a US drone base in the Seychelles could be used to operate drones over Yemen.[28]
According to local residents and unnamed American and Yemeni government officials, on 14 July 2011 US manned aircraft or drones attacked and destroyed a police station in Mudiya in Abyan Province which had been occupied by al Qaeda militants. Yemeni media and government gave conflicting accounts on the number of casualties, estimated at between 6 and 50 killed. The same day and nearby, drone missiles reportedly hit a car belonging to Yemeni al Qaeda leader Fahd al-Quso, but al-Quso survived the attack.[29][30][31][32][33]
On 1 August 2011, US drones and reportedly Yemeni aircraft attacked three targets with bombs and missiles in South Yemen, killing 15 suspected al Qaeda militants and wounding 17 others. The locations targeted included al-Wahdah, al-Amodiah, and al-Khamilah in Abyan province. One of those killed was reportedly militant leader Naser al-Shadadi. According to the Yemen Post "At least 35 US drone attacks were reported in Yemen over the last two month."[34][35][36]
On 24 August 2011, unidentified aircraft attacked suspected al-Qaeda militants near Zinjibar. The strikes reportedly killed 30 militants and wounded 40 others.[37]
According to Yemeni officials as reported in the Long War Journal, US airstrikes in southeast Abyan province on 30 August to 1 September 2011 killed 30 AQAP militants. The militants were reportedly engaged in combat with Yemeni military forces.[38]
Two airstrikes by US-operated aircraft on 21 September 2011 reportedly killed four AQAP fighters in Abyan and seven AQAP fighters in Shaqra.[39]
On 30 September 2011, US drone-launched missiles killed four people, including Al Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, in Al Jawf Governorate. The strike also killed Samir Kahn, American-born editor of Inspire magazine. The strike marked the first known time that the US had deliberately targeted US citizens in a drone attack.[40]
A reported drone strike in Zinjibar on 5 October 2011 killed five AQAP militants.[41] According to Yemeni government officials, a US airstrike on 14 October 2011 killed seven AQAP militants, including Egyptian-born Ibrahim al-Bana, AQAP's media chief.[42]
A drone strike on 22 December 2011 near Zinjibar reportedly killed Abdulrahman al-Wuhayshi, a relative of Yemeni al-Qaeda leader Nasir al-Wuhayshi. A further eight militants were reported killed in an air strike near Jaar on 17 December 2011.[43]
An airstrike, reportedly performed by US aircraft, on 31 January 2012 near the city of Lawder in Abyan province, killed 11 AQAP militants. The dead reportedly included Abdul Monem al-Fahtani, a participant in the USS Cole bombing.[44]
Drones engaged in three attacks over three days from 9–11 March 2012. The first strike targeted an AQAP hideout near Al Baydah, Baydah province, reportedly killing local AQAP leader Abdulwahhab al-Homaiqani and 16 of his militants. The second strike hit Jaar in Abyan province, reportedly killing 20 AQAP fighters. The third strike, also in Jaar, reportedly killed three AQAP militants and targeted a storage location for weapons AQAP had seized after overruning a Yemeni military base in Al Koud the week before.[45] A fourth drone strike on 14 March 2012 in Al Bydah reportedly killed four AQAP militants in a vehicle.[46]
On April 11, 14 militants were killed in a drone strike in Lauder town, northeast of Zinjibar, Abyan province.[47] A drone strike on 22 April in the Al Samadah area, near the border of Marib and Al Jawf provinces, killed AQAP senior leader Mohammed Saeed al Umda (also known as Ghareeb al Taizi).[48]
On 6 May 2012 a suspected US drone strike killed Fahd Mohammed Ahmed al-Quso and another al Qaida militant in southern Shabwa province.[49]
On 12 December 2013, 17 people[50][51] were killed in a wedding convoy in the District of Rada' which falls in the Governorate of Al-Bayda'.[52] The U.S. drone mistakenly targeted a wedding convoy after intelligence reports identified the vehicles as carrying suspects of the AQAP organization. [53] Five of the killed had been suspected, but the remainder were civilians. [54]
On 3 March 2014 an airstrike, believed to have been carried out by an American drone, killed three people suspected of being members of AQAP. Mujahid Gaber Saleh al Shabwani, who is one of Yemen's 25 most wanted AQAP operatives, is thought to have been killed in the strike.[55]
On 20 and 21 April 2014, three drone strikes by the US government killed at least two dozen suspected AQAP members and destroyed one of the group's training camps in southern Yemen, according to a statement released by the Yemeni Interior Ministry. In a statement, the group admitted that five civilians had been wounded and three killed during the attack.[56]
On 13 June 2014 a suspected US drone strike targeted a car in the Mafraq al-Saeed area of the Shabwah province, killing five alleged AQAP operatives on board.[57]
Thus far, it is estimated that a total of 98 US drone attacks have been conducted in Yemen since 2002; 41 in 2012, 26 in 2013 and 14 in 2014.[58]

Oracle Will Buy Siebel for $5.85 Billion
Oracle Will Buy Siebel for $5.85 Billion
Renee Boucher Ferguson
Posted 2005-09-12
Siebel's CRM products will become part of Oracle's Project Fusion, which also integrates PeopleSoft's ERP apps.
Database and business applications software developer Oracle Corp. announced Monday that it will acquire Siebel Systems Inc. for $10.66 per share, or about $5.85 billion. Siebel develops CRM (customer relationship management) software. The company has about 4,000 application customers and 3.4 million CRM users, according to a statement released Monday by Oracle, of Redwood Shores, Calif. The acquisition of Seibel is the second largest Oracle has undertaken. After an 18-month hostile battle throughout 2004 to acquire ERP (enterprise resource planning) rival PeopleSoft Inc., Oracle succeeded in taking over PeopleSoft last December. Oracle paid $10.3 billion for PeopleSoft.
As part of the PeopleSoft acquisition, which included midmarket ERP vendor J.D. Edwards & Co., which PeopleSoft previously had acquired, Oracle embarked on a major overhaul of its product lines. Dubbed Project Fusion, the effort will combine the "best of" functionality from the Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise and JDE Enterprise One suites.
Oracle will take a similar tack with Siebels CRM applications, according to the company. "We will embrace Siebels best-in-class CRM product and make the features of those products the centerpiece of our Project Fusion CRM," said Oracle Co-President Charles Phillips, in a statement. Phillips said that Oracle and Siebels joint customers have "consistently recommended" the transaction. A majority of Siebel implementations run on Oracles database.
Oracle makes good on its promise of continued PeopleSoft development.

Unlike the PeopleSoft acquisition, however, its unlikely the Siebel deal will engender much rancor. The addition of Siebels software would be more complementary to Oracles offerings, of which CRM plays a relatively small role to date. Siebels board of directors has voted in favor of the transaction, and the companys founder and CEO, Tom Siebela former Oracle executivehas agreed to vote his shares in favor of the acquisition, according to Oracles statement. The acquisition meets Oracles two key criteria for large deals, according to Larry Ellison, Oracle co-founder and chief executive: Its immediately accretivefor the full fiscal year of 2007 Oracle expects to make more money on a pro forma basis from the acquisitionand its strategically sound. "This makes us number one in markets in which we already participate," said Ellison, during a conference call Monday with analysts and press. "Oracles acquisition makes Oracle number one in sales and services in North America, and also strengthens our goal of becoming number one globally." Currently, SAP AG is the number one business applications provider in the world, trailed by Oracle. The deal also strengthens Oracles relationships with two Siebel implementation partners: IBM and Accenture. Companies rely on strong system integration partner relationships to sell more software. But at the same time, Siebels relationship with IBM brings a familiar technology question to the fore: Which databases beyond Oracles, if any, will Oracle support with Project Fusion? Siebel is software platform agnosticthe next generation of its software currently in the works would be platform portableso that users are not tied into any single infrastructure. That will likely change with Oracles development of Fusion CRM, based on Siebels products. "If you are a person who is trying to make an enterprise strategic decisionand Siebel was your decisionand youre not an Oracle shop, this could be a problem," said Michael Moaz, Gartner vice president and CRM research fellow. "Siebel is not saying, we are going to migrate over to the Fusion platform. If Im not an Oracle shop planning on building my future on the Oracle platform, this is only a tactical decision, one that will have to be revisited," when Fusion comes out in a couple of years. Moaz also pointed out that Oracles acquisition of Siebel brings an end to the suite market. "In terms of independent CRM suites, this is the last gasp of the suite market," said Moaz, in Stamford, Conn. "There are no more independents for large enterprises. Its going to be Oracle or SAP."

Yes, I've wrecked a car, but my car has never wrecked. (It seems to me possible that the US use of total might have something to do with the French perte total, but I'd have to do some research into the growth of US motor insurance (perhaps starting in Louisiana... ) to be sure.

"The American Dream, Horror Movies and the ways I'd like them to collide", that's how Katie Eary describes the idea behind new collection she presented at the London Fashion Week. The result: Highschool meets Frankenstein meets Punk meets Rave, but see yourself. You find more pictures of the show on Coute Que Coute and Homotography (my sources for this posting).
Yesterday Katie Eary presented her new spring/summer collection 2010 at the London Fashion Week yesterday. The collection was shown as an installation as part of the designer support initiative NEWGEN MEN. This is how according to Dazed Digital Eary describes her creative sources for the colletion: "My inspiration derives from a book called Velvet Machine – A 'how to' book – to feed and Preen your dog to be a fighter (a velvet machine). Savage beasts and the comparison to Punk anarchists." Here are a couple of pictures of the evening via Nick Skellington (pictures 3, 5), Fashion 156′s blog (pictures 1, 4, 6 by Katie Davies), and Dean Mayo Davies (pictures 2, 7). More pictures there.

Slideshow: How Colorado's deadly labor battle unfolded Slideshow: The Ludlow Massacre took place on April 20, 1914 in southern Colorado, where 20 people, including 12 children, were killed. It was one of the most violent events in the labor movement and galvanized support for unionization. Scroll through each frame and hover over each photo to learn more about how events unfolded. ludlowmassacre.jpg These were the striking miners at the Ludlow Colony, who were evicted from their company-owned homes after going on strike against the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. The United Mine Workers of America set up 12 tent camps in the prairie in Southern Colorado to house the workers. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre1.jpg Colorado's mines, like the Kubler Mine of Gunnison County shown here in 1913, were the most dangerous in the country. More than 1,700 mining deaths were recorded between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre2.jpg Miners lived in company towns run by their employers. This mining town in Las Animas County, seen in a 1914 photo, was typical. When Colorado Fuel & Iron Company miners went on strike, their employer countered by evicting them from their company-owned homes. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre3.jpg Striking miners and their families in the fall of 1913 traveled miles away from their towns to 12 encampments sponsored by the United Mine Workers of America. The largest camp was the Ludlow Colony, pictured here. One of the goals of the camps was to show that coal miners could live and thrive in communities of their own making. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre4.jpg As the strike wore on, the evicted miners and their families at the Ludlow Colony endured one of the harshest winters in Colorado. Their shelters were canvas tents and some members of the colony, including children, died of illness. Meanwhile, the miners in the camps regularly skirmished with armed militiamen hired by the mining company. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre5.jpg Activist Mother Jones traveled to southern Colorado to organize women and march in support of the striking miners. The women's march, pictured here, went through the streets of Trinidad, a town near Ludlow. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre6.jpg Men employed by the mining company, pictured here with rifles and an armored vehicle known as "the death special," were hired to agitate, often shooting randomly into camps. The miners, who were also armed, would intimidate replacement workers brought in to break the strike, sometimes turning to violence. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre7.jpg The Colorado National Guard was called in to keep the peace, but some of the guardsmen were on the mining company payroll. In this photo, guardsmen are seen with an automatic rifle set up on Water Tank Hill near Ludlow. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre8.jpg On April 20, 1914, after a disagreement between Ludlow Colony miners and National Guardsmen, the two sides opened fire in a day-long battle. As the barrage of bullets overwhelmed the colony, the National Guard troops set the tents on fire, which completely destroyed the encampment. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre9.jpg As bullets inundated the Ludlow Colony, some women and children sought shelter in underground burrows dug under their tents. When the tents were set on fire, the underground shelter in this photo became a death trap. The bodies of 11 children and two women were recovered from this shelter, accounting for most of the 20 killed. Two women in the shelter survived. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) ludlowmassacre10.jpg As news of the violent crackdown spread throughout the nation, the event became known as The Ludlow Massacre and galvanized support for unionization. In this funeral procession for victims, hundreds of mourners gathered in front of the Catholic Church in Trinidad, Colo. (Photo: Courtesy of the Denver Public Library) 3571020902_c202069382_o.jpg The Ludlow Massacre remains a symbol of union struggle to this day and the United Mine Workers of America continues to commemorate the event. The Ludlow Memorial was erected by the union in 1918 and still stands today.

I really wanted to like this campground. Unfortunately, there were too many negatives that started right at the entrance. The entrance is very narrow and only allows one way traffic. Then you have to make a sharp left turn to get to the office, which is down another narrow and hilly road. I couldn't believe the number of very tight turns down narrow gravel roads that were required to reach our site. And then there were those darn trees and their low-hanging branches. The sites are very narrow with branches hanging low over them. We could not position our 5th wheel anywhere on our site without branches hitting the sides and top. After setting up I climbed on the roof and found the branches had scratched up both a/c covers. Our RV is brand new. Very disappointed this happened. No discounts are offered. Wi-Fi is available if you purchase one of six different plans offered by an off-site commercial provider. You have to set up an account and pay online. I will say that the signal was very good. No cable, but over-the-air signals were strong. We will not be back. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $32.00
Our site was long enough for our truck and fifth wheel, gravel, and fairly level. The roads are narrow with many trees. Roads are poorly marked for traffic direction. We left in a thunderstorm and could barely differentiate the sites from the road. We had a site far from the trees. Services, 50 amp, water and sewer all worked fine. There is no cable and just a few antenna stations, so if you have satellite ask for a spot out in the open. The access from I-75 was long, narrow, with rolling hills. There is little else in the area, so we would stay here again if we are nearby. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

I have one complaint about this campground...we didn't stay long enough! Beautiful campground, very neat, clean and quiet. Large dog park. Roads are gravel but not dusty. Great for bicycling. The turn going in is very tight but doable. We were not the only large RV there. Staff at the front desk and golf cart escort were super helpful. I was looking for brochures of the area and the desk gal helped me find what I was looking for. There is so much to do in the area that we could have spent a week here. Next time we will. I thought the price was fair for full hook ups and 50 amp. Our space was just a bit off level but nothing the leveling system couldn't handle. Also, the lots are very large was is a bonus on top of everything else. This is now one of my very favorite places to camp. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2013 - $40.00
Very clean and well maintained campground with nice/helpful staff. Our site #508 was level (504 looked good, too). Some sites were shady, but we opted for a no trees pull-through. Having said that, by mid to late afternoon the VERY nice concrete pad with nice picnic table was in the shade. The neighbors are quiet as there is a cemetery next door. :-) Our only issue was the distance to town. The staff member said if we cut through the cemetery it was only 'a couple of blocks' to town. It was more like 6-8 city blocks which is a good 15-20 min walk. We did not realize until later that dogs are not allowed in the cemetery which meant trekking around it, adding considerable time to our walk. Note: ask in any shop in town for a business map of the area. It shows shops/restaurants, etc. We were not aware of this until the day we left. Maybe there was one in the campground store, but we suspect not based on the info we were given at check-in. All in all, we would go back to lovely Lebanon and would stay in Cedarbrook again. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Motorhome.

Campground is way over priced for what you get. Gravel interior roads and sites. Our site (509) was so unlevel the hydraulic jacks had 3 of our 4 tires off the ground just to be level. Sewer hookup was higher than the trailer drain. Had to pick the trailer up higher on the jacks just to drain the tanks. Fifty amp power and water was good. WI-FI is available, but you have to pay for it - we did not use it. Verizon works well here. Park was somewhat noisy during the day with motorcycles and ATVs. Park was clean and well maintained though. Probably will look for something else next time we go through this area because of the price. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at this campground while in the area for work, for a week. It's a kind of no frills park. It has a swimming pool that looked okay, the grounds are shaded with lots of trees, and the sites are large. We did not use the laundry or the bathrooms. Our site was at the outer edge of the park. Here's just a little advice; when arriving the park will sneak up on you very fast, from either direction. Their sign is somewhat obscured due to trees and greenery. As others have stated the road into the park itself, is very narrow (hopefully you won't meet someone exiting!), and the speed bumps are annoying. As you drive in, the signs will direct you to pull around to the front of the office -- do this with great caution. We followed the rules and did as requested, but we probably should have gotten out and just walked up to the office. The building sits on an uneven incline, the driveway around the office is very narrow, extremely tight, with limited sight around the back of the building, and the pavement is lopsided. We're not the longest rig out there (39' MH) and we had to back up a couple of times to get around the office because some genius had parked their golf cart on the side of the drive so they could chat on the deck (and they just sat and watched from the deck). Going down the hill, our tow hitch dragged the ground. Before our arrival, we had unhooked the tow car, it was a good thing we did. We would stay here again, but next time we would pull up to the right side of the pavement, across from the dump station and walk to the office. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $46.00
Although this park is 30 minutes from the awesome things to do in Cincinnati, the drive is worth the stay. Very neat, clean and quiet park. Water quality and pressure is good, no problem with power in spite of high 90 degree temps. Pool looked good but didn't try it out. Interior roads are a little rough. Plenty of trash receptacles around the park. Most sites looked pretty level. Great office staff. Wi-Fi is free at the office, but at site, you need to purchase it from an independent contractor. Connection is a pain and customer support is non existent. Just keep trying to log on and eventually you will get connected. All in all, we would stay here again in a skinny minute. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $46.00
Pretty, nice park, but seriously overpriced. (Although every one we've looked at in Ohio so far has seemed expensive.) Forty six for one night – gravel 50 amp pull through, water and sewer. No cable TV and they charge for Wi-Fi – just $3, but still... Sites are very large, long, and fairly level. In site 511 – on the back side of the park (overlooking the cemetery). We'd look elsewhere next time. The office lady tried to act like she was doing us a favor squeezing us in for one night – a Tuesday night at that – but I saw lots of empty spaces on the drive to our site. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: October, 2012 - $35.00
Very friendly staff with nice shady pull-through sites. The picnic tables are on a permanent slab so we didn't have to use our entrance carpet. The camp was almost full, but the sites are nice and big so we had plenty of room. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2012 - $30.00
A good place for an overnight stay. We had our dog and had no problems what so ever from any people working here. We would stay here again. Easy access for big rigs, friendly staff. GPS is accurate to entrance. We would stay here again. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2012 - $42.00
Nice, well maintained campground with spacious sites and lots of trees. The only thing odd about the park was the way they present the rules - like they are berating the campers. This extends to things like a sign on a lawn with a picture of a dog leaving a deposit with a line drawn through it and the words below: "Pick it up". Not a big deal, but a bit odd in the hospitality industry and it sets a tone which is not as pleasant as it could be. We did enjoy our stay and the town of Lebanon is quite nice. It was a good base of operations for visiting Cincinnati and Dayton. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: July, 2012 - $42.00
Excellent campground. Stayed here for three nights. Nice facilities. Very quiet and family oriented. They have a LONG list of rules, and were appreciated for a nice, quiet stay. They will guide you to your site. Cleanest bath houses on the planet. Pool was very clean, warm, and monitored. The young owners live onsite and were here all the time. Grounds were well maintained. Free wireless worked great. Big rig friendly. Wished we lived closer to enjoy more often. GPS was accurate, and signage wasn't an issue. Has state signs going all the way to the campground. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: July, 2012 - $42.00
A very nice campground. We spent 4 nights here. Camp sites have decent spacing between them. Many have good shade trees. Very nice pool. There is a playground for children. Very quiet at night. There is lots of roads in the campground to walk around, and a nearby cemetery to provide interesting walking and tombstone reading. NOTE: the cemetery has a no pets allowed rule, that the campground did not inform us about. The campground does not allow camper setup after quiet hours begin at 10:00PM. That is enforced, and much appreciated. (There is nothing worse than being awakened at 2:00 AM by campers coming into a campground and banging tent poles around, and talking loudly while they are setting up. Or, people sitting around and talking loudly after they set up their campsite at 3:00 AM.) We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $42.00
This is an older campground that is gradually improving with time. Roads are tight for larger RVs. Road into the campground is one car wide and has limited pull over areas to accommodate oncoming traffic. Very poor signage on the main road. Some serious hedge trimming would make the campground sign noticeable from a distance. Sites are level. Some sites have blocked access if the campground is full. WiFi on the sites is poor at best. Good signal at the office. Hope the owners continue to make improvements. Campground has potential. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $40.00
We spent a week here and enjoyed it very much. The park was friendly and clean. We enjoyed the pool. The restrooms were always clean, though I would have loved to see them replace the wooden handles on the bathroom sinks (I can't imagine wet wood is easy to clean and keep germ free). Great laundry room and very helpful staff. When the dryer ate our quarters, they came down immediately and refunded our money and then fixed it (the dryer was unplugged). We use this campground as a benchmark to measure others. We camped at Cedarbrook Campground in a Travel Trailer.

Thankfully, we only checked one bag full of medical stuff, which is currently in limbo somewhere in the northern hemisphere. We will tackle that problem once we make it to Ethiopia. Here's to hoping. ...
Ready to go!
... help that we decided to drive several hundred miles down to my sister's place , near Windsor, and visit with her family and my brother's family for a couple of days and come back with one day to do all our final packing, etc. Oh, and I was just booking our "puddle jumper" flights from Barbados to Bequia for our annual trip ...

Dennis - That would be "Russia Today". It's Russian propaganda mostly. We don't believe media outlets, even pro-Ukrainian ones. It's all word of mouth now, empowered by the internet.
Jack - Can you give me an overview of the situation as it now stands? Something that we're not likely to read in Western newspapers.
Dennis - The Russian Federation has of course annexed Crimea and is ...
Getting Started
... in the next couple of days. Toronto to Paris, then our first time on an A380 for our flight from Paris to Johannesburg, then another quick 2 hour flight to get to Windhoek. For those of you that don't know Bill, he is very excited to finally be flying into Windhoek. Windhoek's airport code is WDH - his initials - checking in he even asked the Air France person if she should print a second baggage tag that he could keep. Back off ladies, he is all mine!!

Class of 2013
5 months and a day after RSGC gave me me own personal graduation ceremony, I'm back at school for the graduation of the rest of the class of 2013. I have also invited us to the end of the year staff party as well. It's hard to explain the appeal of attending what is probably my 30 something th Prize Day celebration.

Challenge: How to upgrade an already existing promotion for an awareness campaign to make it more effective and successful. A non-profit organization whose mission it is to raise awareness for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) needed a way to better market their annual fundraising day. They were currently using red plastic clown-type noses, as the idea is to promote awareness through smiles and fun, yet many people found the noses uncomfortable and would take them off.Solution: Upgrade the plastic noses and add more promotional items. To solve the problem of the uncomfortable plastic nose, it was switched for an easy-to-wear foam nose. To add to the campaign, items such as imprinted pins, pens, coffee mugs and apparel were used. Even a stuffed version of the promotional mascot was created. All of these items were things that would not be as easily thrown away as a plastic nose, which means that the non-profit can continue to market itself long after the sun sets on the fundraising day. Result: Sales for the non-profit increase dramatically. |
