UK holds talks with US on possible Iran scenariosBy DAVID STRINGER
THE Associated Press | October 27,2012LONDON Britain is involved in military contingency planning with the United States over Iran and other potential flashpoints in the Middle East, officials said Friday but they insisted the talks are not a prelude to a pre-emptive strike against Tehrans nuclear program.
Prime Minister David Camerons office confirmed that routine military planning is being carried out with the U.S. and other allies on a range of scenarios, including on the potential use by American forces of British bases, some of which can act as staging posts for missions to the Middle East.
The Guardian newspaper reported in Fridays editions that the U.S. had asked Britain to use its bases in Cyprus, and British territory in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, to help build up forces in the Gulf. It reported that move was regarded as a contingency in case of the need for strikes to halt Tehrans nuclear program.
Contingency planning is something which we do as a matter of routine. Obviously we are working closely, for example with the United States, as we have done in the past, regarding the use of U.K. bases, a spokeswoman for Cameron told reporters, on condition of anonymity in line with policy.
We routinely speak to our counterparts in the United States. We dont get into details of those discussions, but we have in the past cooperated on the use of U.K. bases, she said. The U.S. military used British bases in the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Britains Foreign Office said that the U.K. was involved in prudent contingency planning with its allies, including the U.S.
The government does not believe that military action against Iran is the right option at this time, but we are not taking any option off the table, Camerons spokeswoman said.
She insisted that Britain remained committed to a policy of imposing ever tighter sanctions against Iran, while also seeking to engage Tehran in talks aimed at ensuring the country has access to civilian nuclear power but abandons its alleged pursuit of an atomic weapon. Tehran insists it is not developing nuclear arms.
Britains government declined to comment on The Guardians claim that U.K. attorney general Dominic Grieve had issued legal advice cautioning that any involvement in a pre-emptive strike on Iran including cooperating on bases would violate international law.
The newspaper, citing unnamed government sources, reported that in his advice, the governments chief legal advisor had stated Iran did not constitute a clear and present threat.
Israel has been especially wary of Irans nuclear plans, and has warned it would use military force to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining atomic weapons.
In a speech earlier this month, Cameron said he had warned Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that any strike on Iran would risk bolstering support for the regime in Tehran. He insisted that international measures, including a European ban on Iranian oil imports, were crippling Irans economy.
We need the courage to give these sanctions time to work, Cameron said.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Earlier this year, Hillary Rodham Clintons campaign lost count of its experts. Full StoryATHENS, Greece Despite triumphing in a popular vote against austerity, Greece on Monday faced... Full Story

Photo By New York Times file photoPresident Richard M. Nixon says goodbye to his Cabinet and staff at the White House on Aug. 9, 1974. Criticizing an editorial on the 40th anniversary of the resignation, a reader says some current politicians are just as corrupt.
Nixon's legacy
Re: "No rehabilitation for disgraced Nixon," editorial, Sunday:
So, even though there are other "flawed leaders who do flawed, even illegal things" we are instructed to deny former President Richard Nixon any softening of perception or rehabilitation because he tried to "undermine an election" and viewed lying as acceptable.
It seems to me that you should be exposing similar activity in recent years rather than condemning someone who has been dead for decades.

Illegal is illegal
I'm sure that the open borders people in this country are thrilled about the surge of people coming from Central America. They want us to believe that immigration reform is the reason. They don't want reform; they want amnesty.
They will ask you, "Where is your compassion? They're children."
First off, whether they are kids or adults, illegal is illegal. Next, my compassion lies with my family, my friends, and the American people.
Let me ask you, where is your compassion for the 58,000 homeless vets in this country? Where is your compassion for the thousands of vets, waiting sometimes months to see a doctor? Where is your compassion for the countless number of jobless, homeless families, with hungry American children? If we're going to spend billions of dollars for people in need, we need to put Americans first.
Finally, to the Dallas county judge who in early July said that Dallas would take between one to two thousand of these kids. Here is a quick note. Try to remember, Americans first, and charity begins at home!

Re: "City, county halt support for streetcar," Front Page, July 29:
Kudos to the new mayor, Ivy Taylor, for demonstrating leadership and common "cents" in her acknowledgement of the public denouncement of "A Streetcar Named Undesired."
Now that this $32-million project has hit the brakes, those monies can be used for support of more critical and worthy projects for our city.
As a family, we have used the trolleys on several occasions and enjoyed their convenience and easy access. Trolleys are cool and comfortable transports, and they are definitely a less-expensive ticket-to-ride.

Did he ever love me?

Most Helpful Opinion
I'd hate to be sweet, and to the point on this one, but it sounds like he's getting tired of breaking up, getting back together all the time. It sounds like from what has happened through the years is absolutely nothing. You two would get back together, and then break up. It doesn't sound like you two looked at what the core problems where.
So nitpicking through your letter a little. It sounds like there's a lot of inconsistency's within the relationship itself. You've got a lot of trust issues, and a lot of insecurities. You seem to be more confused on a regular basis, because of some of those trust issues you have. It also looks like from what you've said, it's not a secure relationship. You seem to want some grounding, something secure. And you have the right to that, but you've also have to work out those problems each time you go through an obstacle. It's not about breaking up all the time. Sometimes people in general need to stay together, and work out there problems. Rather than running away, then believing things will be alright after awhile. And sometimes that's the case, but from what you said at the end. It sounds like you two where holding stuff in, and now it's coming out within nitpicking every part that's bad with each other.
So Just like the other comment said… "the best way we can go about things without getting hurt is to compromise." So I do agree with that… but in away it's not about compromising, but working on each situation that comes up, rather than running away from it.
And to answer your questions... Did he love you.. I think he did, and still does, but there has to be some things to be worked out. And the chances of getting back together depends on how much work you want to put into fixing those problems you two have, and coming to some form of compromise in a sense...
Hope things work out... Much Love
I feel like...even if we did talk about working it out...its humilating to try...I've hurt him so much by breaking up...4 times and each time is family and friends saw him go through it. I don't know How I could put a foot back into his house again and face his fam and friends. His friend even told me I should stop contacting him,...'its for the best' when I asked him to tell him to stop contacting me! cause he's been cursing at me.
What Guys Said 6
i think he loved you at one point, but has lost trust in you little by little with every break up, the 1st breakup being the most trust lost.. no pun intended but judging from your actions it seems like what you had for him was attachment, not love.. if you really loved him I don't think you would've done some of the [petty even] things you did, like flirting w other guys.. it seems u've realized that he once loved you but maybe not anymore.. my suggestion from here on is to just take it for what it was, and learn from it.. and figure out a way to overcome the trust issue.. hope this helps..
What if he starts contacting me again...just to see how I am and chat a little. Does this mean he wants me back...or does he just miss me. I feel like talking to him now is false hope and hurtful ...if he doesn't want me back, cause he's had enough. Thanks for all your advice...I can see I took break ups too lightly...I never thought he would stop wanting me back. My intentions were to just show him how serious I was not to end it forever.
If he contacts you to chat a bit, thinking anything beyond a chat, is already pushing it on over analyzing it.. it's "a simple chat".. I mean the guy loved you at one point, it's natural to still care for your well being but NOT anything more.. sorry but that's just the way I see it..
There comes a point in every relationship where there is just too much water under the bridge. Too much has happened, as ivan5252 said he has lost trust in you and in the relationship because you have broken it off so many times. That would wear anyone down to the point where they just say enough is enough. I'm sure he is fed up and he is definitely angry at you since he keeps bringing up the past.
Im sure he did love you before, maybe he still does now but I'm guessing the breakups have taken their toll and he is expecting the same thing to happen again so he is sort of giving up and I don't blame him.
Agreed =X once love is gone (especially with men), it can never come back...
he def. loved you! end of story you don't stay devoted to someone for that long w/o loving them.
Chances of you getting back really seem up to you. You have broken up with him so much that he feels you will come back no matter what. (Its how I felt about my girlfriend until about 6 months ago) She started hangin out with friends guys and girls also and she now even likes a guy that I can't even stand ( I knew he was trouble from the second I saw him) anyways were both being cold to each other after fighting a lot...i told her that I love her still and I miss her still and she tells me she still loves me but she isn't in love w me right now...
I'm waiting and I'm hopin she sees the same things you saw that life just isn't the same w/o me even if she does have fun I hope she feels like she is missing something also. The reason I say it is up to you is because you have to show him your not always going to be around and show him that you are something that is valuable. You might have to make more compromises at first than he does but let him know he needs to make changes as well and that he needs to cherish you and maybe things will change for you. I wish I was in your situation I miss my girl a lot she's my Jenny (Forrest Gump) I just know she is my baby, don't let your love get away from you no matter how hard you have to fight...stay strong everything will work itself out.
What Girls Said 5
Sounds like you two were just going through the motions...just being together for namesake.
He may have loved you at one time, but guys don't fall as quickly as girls and if they ever did fall, you can't get rid of them.
It doesn't sound like he's pursuing you at all, so it is what it is...Not into you maybe? He may even be seeing someone else and telling you that he's participating in some activity. You should just leave him alone to see if he notices. Cut off all contact with him and disappear, don't return phone calls, text messages or emails...stay off of Facebook, MySpace, and twitter so that he doesn't know what happened. Also sleep over at a girlfriends. If he doesn't contact you...he doesn't care at all...he should be going crazy by the time you return his calls.
Either way, I think you should just move on. I think your relationship has been over for a while but it's just taking you some time to come to terms. Sorry, it's probably not what you want to hear but it should provide you with a different view. Plus, who wants to argue all the time anyway? KRL
I don't know why you say it was mostly you & your insecurities, the the one example you give of stuff that you did that HURT him, was him being mad at you because you hung out with a guy.. That is his insecurities.
All the times you blame yourself you mention being hurt or not trusting him, There is no such thing as ONE person in a relationship - that is a problem in a relationship.
Sunds like it was pretty miserable & you guys should have been friends or acquaintances because he could not give you what you needed.
I do lt know what your definition of love is, but I suppose three are varying degrees.
The fact that he stayed with you I am sure indicates he believes he loves you BUT is that love that YOU need- I don't know..
If you can do other things you should be better soon.. I would not worry about if he loved you, but how loved you feel ONW, otherwise you will hurt yourself again the past & now..
You have a responsibility not to keep yourself I hurtful relationships, if you can recognize it hurts than you are that much closer to taking car the way you should.
Look after yourself, take care.
Um, yes, if you kept breaking up with him and that dude kept coming back for 4 years than obviviously, yes, he loved you. No one would stay with anyone they didn't love for that long. That's a big D-U-H. You're in college, you should know this by now. I'm in high school and even I know that.
i'm going to tell you what people told me that you couldn't have stayed with each other for that long if there was no love. The chances of you two getting back? that, no one can predict. only time can tell. You actually remind me so much of myself because I used to break up a lot with my ex for almost similar reasons. I actually felt justified with my reasons because he had two gfs before me who dumped him and I was able to see why they dumped him. In 2-3 of the breakups he begged for me back and the rest I just went back to him because the breakup was too painful. I just told him my reasons and we worked on it together. Maybe you can try doing that? I did got tired of breaking up because it only hurt the both of us (as I am sure the both of you are feeling right now too) and figured that the best way we can go about things without getting hurt is to compromise. Things between us got better. He did his best to make me happy and I did the same thing for him. If there are things that made us unhappy/angry, we tell each other and we work on it. If we can't work on it then we just let it go, forgive each other and accept the other person as they are. It worked for 7 years so him dumping me recently is somewhat unexpected. All I'm really saying is that we all need to grow up/mature...if you two really love each other, learn how to work through each other's inadequateness.
Wow...how did yu deal with his family and friends? I feel like I can't see them again if we even thought about getting back. They've seen me hurt him so much ...they probably hate me.
Nothing really...as far as I know they all like me. It really does't matter what their opinion about you though...what's important is the two of you. You should be more worried about what his thinking than other people.
I agree, if you do get back together, his family will be ok, alittle aqward at first but that will pass, I got in a really bad fight wiht my boyfriend and when we got back together, I dreaded seeing his family but it all turned out.
Have an opinion?

Deputies: Man scrapped, sold 6,000 pounds of stolen wire
Published: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 12:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 7:56 p.m.
DELAND — A 23-year old DeLeon Springs man was arrested Thursday on charges of scrapping and selling more than 6,000 pounds of aluminum electrical wire over the past two weeks, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.
Jarrod Briggs faces nine felony charges — six counts of dealing in stolen property and three counts of violating Florida's secondary-metals recyclers law by falsely claiming he owned the wire, according to a Sheriff's Office news release.
During a span of two weeks, beginning Sept. 11, Briggs scrapped six large loads of wire that he brought to a DeLand recycling center in the back of a pickup, deputies said. The loads ranged in weight from 338 pounds to 1,372 pounds.
Combined, the loads weighed 6,179 pounds and Briggs sold them for about $3,770, the Sheriff's Office said. The recycling center notified the Sheriff's Office about the suspicious transactions on Tuesday.
Deputies showed pictures of the scrapped wire to Duke Energy officials, who recognized it as commercial grade wire used for power poles. Several thousand pounds of wire were later discovered missing from the power company's substation in DeLand, the Sheriff's Office said.
Briggs told deputies he was scrapping the wire for a friend who had supposedly collected it to sell, but said he couldn't sell it himself because his wallet and identification had been stolen. So Briggs wouldn't be able to provide proof of identification at the recycling center as required by law.
Briggs said his friend gave him $50 for each transaction. Briggs' claim is still being investigated, the Sheriff's Office said.

From the Union Leader: MANCHESTER — The town of Weare has agreed a $57,500 settlement in a lawsuit filed by a woman who said her First Amendment rights were violated when she was arrested for video recording police during a traffic stop.
Carla Gericke, president of New Hampshire's Free State Project, was arrested in March 2010 and initially charged with illegal wire tapping. Although the charge was dropped, Gericke filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the town, police department and arresting officers, saying her arrest was retaliatory.
"I'm thrilled the case is settled," Gericke said in an email Friday. "It was a long road, but the payoff is that we now have binding precedent affirming the First Amendment to record police traffic stops. I also am cautiously optimistic that the settlement will cause law enforcement to be more hesitant to arrest videographers exercising their rights. I think we've already seen positive change come out of this case in that regard." Read more...

Powerful Rebuke to Cops, Says Reason
Reason's senior editor, Jacob Sullum covers FSP President Carla Gericke's Appeals Court win. "Three years ago, in Glik v. Cunniffe, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit upheld a man's First Amendment right to record an arrest on Boston Common. Last week, in Gericke v. Weare, the court upheld a woman's First Amendment right to record a traffic stop in Weare, New Hampshire. The combination of these two decisions is a powerful rebuke to cops who continue to harass people with bogus wiretapping charges when they dare to capture images or sound of police encounters on their cellphones.

FSP President Wins Case: Right to Film at Traffic Stops Established
From the Union Leader: Individuals have a right to film police during traffic stops, the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday in a 2010 case filed by Free State Project President Carla Gericke against Weare police.
Even so, police may impose limits on the public's right to film when circumstances justify them, Judge Kermit V. Lipez ruled. Such situations include the need to maintain safety and control, particularly during traffic stops, which can be "especially fraught with danger to police officers."
"It was clearly established at the time of the stop that the First Amendment right to film police carrying out their duties in public, including a traffic stop, remains unfettered if no reasonable restriction is imposed or in place," Lipez wrote in his 21-page decision. The ruling upheld a Concord federal court decision that denied Weare police officers' claim that they were entitled to "qualified immunity'' in charging Gericke with illegal wiretapping during the March 24, 2010, traffic stop.

The Statement of Intent Isn't a Promise
Why doesn't every libertarian sign up for the Free State Project? For some, deep local connections to family or friends make it difficult or undesirable to move, and I don't wish to see them uprooted: society trumps politics every time. But for many, the issue is being unable to promise confidently to move to New Hampshire within six or seven years. This short essay is for these people.
The Free State Project's Statement of Intent isn't a promise. It begins, "I hereby state my solemn intent to move to the state of New Hampshire." What does "solemn intent" mean? Let's look at the word "intent" first.
In normal usage, "intend" and "intent" convey something weaker than a promise. "I intended to go, but something came up." Here, the speaker isn't admitting to breaking a promise; instead, he's simply noting that he meant to pursue a particular course of action, but unforeseen circumstances changed his mind. When you intend to do something, you admit it might not be possible, but you think it will be. More...
Aeon Magazine: A Libertarian Utopia
"This is the thing, ultimately, that seems to bring people to the Free State Project. They become libertarians because they hate taxes, or fear a police state, or distrust collusion between the state and corporate power. But they move to New Hampshire because they want, more than any of these things, to build something new together." Read Livia Gershon's full take on the Free State Project at Aeon Magazine.

The images of drought-baked, cracked earth, dried up river beds, the skeletons of dead animals, and despairing farmers are part of Australia's vision of itself.
Drought is a fact of life in this country and there is usually a drought somewhere in Australia at any particular time. Yet there has been a reluctance to acknowledge drought as a regular feature of Australian life and the arrival of drought is often greeted with what one commentator called "indignant surprise".
The story of drought is told through the eyes of people who have lived through droughts over the more than 200 years of European settlement. This is a story of their creativity, their endurance, and their suffering.

If I break into your house, and then walk into your main hallway, and then say, "There is a security flaw in your home! From this point in your hallway I can listen to any room, or walk down freely into any room." As you're looking at your front door splintered from the battering ram I hit it with to get in, would you call it a "hack," a flaw or something to be concerned about how your hallway(s) go through your house? No, you'd say, "The hallway is fine, I need a stronger front door. BTW, the Glock I'm holding is loaded."
When I start to read, "SS7 was designed in the 80s," I already know I'm dealing wtih a mental midget. Actually, SS7 begain due to the first ever hackers. Remember 2600? As in, 2600 Hz was the signaling frequency for a landline switch. Throw that tone, and you could make calls (for free if it was a payphone). Hence, telecoms came up with an idea to do out of band signaling, which eventually became SS7. So, saying you can "hack" SS7 is very misleading because all SS7 does is coordinate call set up. That "ringing" you hear as you wait for the far, distant switch to reply that the called line is available, is a "comfort tone," as SS7 does it's work. Besides cutting down on fraud, SS7 keeps circuits available, because if the called number is busy, or unavailable, there's no point in setting up a line between your local switch and the switch at the far end.
In the deepest bowels of a switching office, usually near the back, you'll see SS7 racks. These connect from and between local, long-distance and other switches. It's what you'd call, "Back Office," network, similar to the network used by the telecoms to manage their servers your traffic go across but you'll never touch. Such as 3G data going through PCF after it's left the mobile switch, and before it hits an internet backbone ATM. So in simple terms, you'd have to break in, figure out the network, and then figure out a 2nd break in to get to the SS7, and then you'd be in a very small part of the network.
Honestly, if you're going to be doing that much effort, you're NOT going after SS7. Just hack the 3-letter agencies or other LEO server for court-approved wiretapping that is hanging off the switching network and you're in anything, everything, anywhere.

Besides, we also have recent precedence on this. There are laws which prohibited certain anti-competitive behavior for newspapers. If you stifle the channels of communication, say the printing press in the 1800s, then you control the narrative(s). Today, the Internet is uniquely in that very same position. If you allow a privately owned organization to take self-serving priorities, with no competitive alternatives available, then you are again in a position where the narrative is dictated. Let's say Comcast buys Fox, and now only Fox content streams quickly. A Comcast subscriber decides to hear the alternative side of the narrative, say from MSNBC or CNN, but they get constant "spinning wheels," as they wait. Occasionally they get resets (as ISPs have been caught doing to P2P), or accidental DNS redirects to blackholes.
Also, the Internet was originally developed by the government and universities, and did not prioritize traffic. Imagine, for example, if GPS were to be "bought" by GE. You can only get fine positioning if you pay $x a month, but if you don't, you get 200m accuracy. Maybe this is your street to turn on, maybe it was a block back.

How do you know what I care about? You don't even have a basic understanding of how a strike or target package gets put together, and yet, come to a stated conclusion. I'll assume this will fall on deaf ears, but take some time to understand a topic before condemning. First, every member in the US military goes through LOAC training every year. If you're a cook or a sniper, you know The Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC). Then, Rules of Engagement (RoE), which any US military member involved with the application of kinetic force (e.g. snipers, infantry, fighter pilots, etc) is trained and held accountable. Then, understand how how the military gets information from people, and then you might BEGIN to understand the premise of what's happening. I can't find open source (read: unclassified) reports on how the target packages are put together, so I'll avoid specifics, but I did allude to it in my original message. This also is still incomplete because there are also Military Lawyers involved. Yes, a lawyer can say, "NO GO," when everything else says, "GO!".
No one hates war more than a war fighter. 100,000+ Americans did not decide they really wanted to go visit Afghanistan for sun and fun, but political and other factors that manifested after Sept 11, 2001 changed things.

An airstrike does not happen in your scenario for two main reasons (among many others): Source grade and single source rules.
First, your Guy C is an unknown. His source report will grade him very low. It will be low because he's never reported before, nothing he said is corroborated through 3rd, unrelated sources and for some other reasons. All source reports are given a grade and only reports above a certain grade are acted upon. The rest are treated as, "stuff you might read on the internet."
Second, no strike package is getting approved with a single source HUMINT...even if it's graded at the very top (reliable from previous experience, etc). I don't want to get more specific but let's say very smart people are 3 steps ahead in thinking this scenario through and how to avoid the mistakes.
Your scenario does play out with the DEA in the US, but that has absolutely nothing to do with this article or my previous comments.

GM doesn't sue me, and if I open a business to work on other GM cars to do similar GM vehicle modifications, then I have little legal exposure. However, with DMCA, GM can shut down a video if it's "suspected" I've infringed on a digital asset, and I can't legally sell modifications of their digital asset. This is why we see every new technology for digital streaming of data run a gauntlet of legal hurdles, which in turn stifles new innovation in the area of digital property.

Very good articulated and supported point which is valid, however, the targeting is no longer the guys with an idea. Meaning, 5 years ago you'd have targeted the emplacers (the guy with a shovel, or in your analogy, an idea). With time, the lesson was learned the effect was small and it is relatively ineffective. Now, you go up the chain and after those who enable others to become more effective. Let me give an example, let's say AQ has three targets in the US: A general officer, a private and an NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer).
Taking out the General is symbolic but has very little impact on the effectivness of the US Army. If you take out a private, there are 10-20 others identically trained and with similar levels of proficiency. However, the NCO leads several squads. The NCO is a trainer, mentor, coach, knowledge manager and adult babysitter.
Taking the NCO out has a real effect on the battlefield as General Officer orders may not get correctly implemented, new troops may not come up to speed (read: battle effective) as fast, etc.
So, the best target for having an effect on battle is the NCO. The US and NATO are not after the General or the Privates... yes if there's a target of opportunity, a real threat, and the RoE/LoAC allows, a shot is taken, but the active targeting is at the NCO level. I wish I could be more specific but I won't. Just as most of what you read in mainstream or see in the movies about computers, technology, etc is wrong, so is the supposed, "wanton carnage from UAVs bombing everyone." I spent 3 years watching hundreds of strikes and you couldn't even apply most of what I read here to the exceptions, much less the "norm." People read a few articles and suddenly are experts on tactical military operations 1/2 way around the world (ignoring the few who incorrectly refer to it as "strategic bombing").

You read the article you link? I was unaware of this specific incident, however, the US Navy was within a war zone (Iraq - Iran 7 Year war), the Navy ship was squawking warnings, the ship's assets had been fired upon, there'd been a case earlier of a US Navy ship directly attack (yes by Iraq), and the Navy ship mis-identified the airliner as an F-14 (which Iran possessed). Not really the same context, albeit the US side made many mistakes.
The Russians, in the case of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 sent up an interceptor. An interceptor normally would make a visual as they are way out over the ocean and are not (yet a threat). Here is the excerpted radio transmissions:
The Commander of the Soviet Far East District Air Defense Forces, General Valery Kamensky,[32] was adamant that KAL 007 was to be destroyed even over neutral waters but only after positive identification showed it not to be a passenger plane. His subordinate, General Anatoly Kornukov, commander of Sokol Air base (later to become commander of the Russian Air Force), was adamant that there was no need to make positive identification as "the intruder" had already flown over the Kamchatka Peninsula.
General Kornukov (to Military District Headquarters-Gen. Kamensky): (5:47) "...simply destroy [it] even if it is over neutral waters? Are the orders to destroy it over neutral waters? Oh, well."
Kamensky: We must find out, maybe it is some civilian craft or God knows who."
Kornukov: "What civilian? [It] has flown over Kamchatka! It [came] from the ocean without identification. I am giving the order to attack if it crosses the State border."
So, US Navy ship warns incoming flight while under fire in war zone in a spot previously attacked, on one hand. On the other hand, just shoot it down and no bother trying to identify.. t I can't make the stretch these are equal.

When Kia Motors took the wraps off its new premium sedan K9 early this month, the automaker carried out an experiment by introducing the car in brown rather than typical black.
Brown is gaining popularity in overseas markets, especially Europe, as the colour goes well with the beige seat covers of high-end cars. And now Korean drivers are recognising the colour's beauty.
"Brown is 'the new black' in the global car industry. We thought the rare colour would appeal to the luxury tastes of Korean consumers as well," said Jang Su-jin, colouring manager at Kia.
Neutral colours such as silver, white and black are still dominant here. But the trend seems to be gradually changing.
According to a report published by leading chemicals company DuPont, silver represented nearly 30 per cent of the Korean car market last year, followed by white at 25 per cent.
Black slipped to third place with 15 per cent, down nine percentage points from 2010, while non-neutral colours saw increased popularity with a combined 19 per cent, the report found.
Currently, the move toward more car colours is primarily in the small cars, expecially import car brands.
Japanese carmaker Nissan launched its Cube in Korea last year in eye-catching colours with evocative names such as White Pearl, Bitter Chocolate and Scarlet Red.
In the early days of the launching, White Pearl led more than 60 per cent of Korean sales, but now the chocolate shade makes up 21 per cent of sales here.
"Contrary to expectations that the colourful cars would appeal more to female drivers, the gender ratio of our consumers is nearly 50:50," a Nissan Korea spokesperson said.
For the Chevrolet Spark, the two best-selling colours are Monaco Pink and Sapporo White.
Despite market skepticism before the launch, pink accounts for about 33 per cent of the almost 5,000 Sparks sold here every month.
Korean auto giant Hyundai Motor Group, which owns Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors, has also started to put more emphasis on colour.
Since the success of the Hawaiian Blue Sportage in 2004, unique colouring has become a key strategy for Kia, leading to the consecutive hits of its boxy compact cars ― the Soul in 2008 and the Ray in 2011.
Adding to pastel hues such as Milky Beige and Aqua Mint, buyers can pick and choose from a host of customization features, including exterior decorations, for the box cars.
After previous colouring attempts with smaller vehicles, Kia launched the full-size sedan K9 in Titanium Brown, considering that luxury car consumers are getting younger and want more diverse styles.
"In the past, we used to follow the colour trend of our competitors. Now we use colour to differentiate our vehicles and lead others," said Jo.
Han Hong-min, chief designer at Hyundai Design Centre, said Korean consumers are still passive in expressing themselves through colours compared to Europeans and North Americans.
"Unlike European consumers who are willing to wait for months to choose their favorite colours, quick-tempered Koreans prefer typical colours that are more available," he said.
Han pointed out, however, that colour preference has become more diverse across vehicle segments here and carmakers are paying more attention to colouring.
Hyundai Motor, which broke away from traditional designs first with the three-door hatchback Veloster last year, unveiled the nation's first matte coloured car Veloster Turbo recently.
Together with matte gray, the turbo-version Veloster comes in vibrant colours such as Sunflower Yellow and Chameleon ― a colour that the company said changes when viewed from different angles.
"The colours of large sedans are also getting brighter here with brown gaining popularity globally. We plan to offer high-end drivers more luxurious metallic colours using new materials," he said.

Trot, as much as I loved him, was no better on the field than Kalish can be...let's be honest. He was one of our favorite guys, but as far as actual production goes, he's no better than most average OFs. Mueller pretty much equates to Pedey. Tek never had the big time offensive potential/streaks Salty has either. We don't know what Middlebrooks or Lavarnway or some others could become as far as power and/or big game guys (I think Middlebrooks is already starting to get there).
There won't be a combo of Lavarnway/Middlebrooks/Gonzalez that will duplicate the power Papi and Manny put up either of those years...but that doesn't matter. That is all relative. Nobody is going to duplicate that power now that 'roids are pretty much gone. What you have to look at is their production compared to the rest of the league at that time. It's highly unlikely that Gonzo is going to stay so low in the power numbers again next year...he's also crunching doubles. HRs aren't everything. And Middlebrooks is the real deal. If Lavarnway winds up producing like he's projected to, the three will more than make up for it.
There are two things you say that I completely agree with though. For years this team has left entirely way too many runners on the bases. Middlebrooks has been pretty good at getting timely hits, and there's been a bunch scattered throughout the rest of the team, but it's not enough. That's also typical of a team that relies on the long ball. If you're hitting them out all the time, then you cover it up. But if they're staying in the yard, you wind up with lots of popouts, ground outs and stranded runners. The Yankees are a perfect example this year. They're leaving tons of runners on. The difference is, the timeliness of their hitting.
And the best point you've made is the lack of leadership. There's absolutely none on this team. The one thing they need is a rally point. In 04, it was Millar. He was goofy, he wasn't the best player on the team, but he got them all to chill out and play. In 07 it was Lowell and Tek. Last year it all went away...and there's absolutely none this year. This team needs Pedroia to step up, and be a leader. He's always been a spark plug that led by example...but he has to become that captain type guy I think we all feel he can be.
Lester also needs to step up. I think that with Beckett gone, he'd be able to finally just step up and be the Alpha Dog. If not, I think that they need to go out and get a guy who will. I also think that's a big trait they need to be looking for in whoever winds up being the right fielder. I can deal with very average stats if the guy is able to rally everyone around him.

posted at 8/5/2012 3:19 PM EDTIn Response to Re: Time for some small ball.........:The Sox also are at or near the top of runs scored in MLB. Yet, their team average with 2 outs and runners in scoring position is .240. That they have such an abysmal record in extra inning and one run games, tells you that coming up with the clutch hit, isn't happening. Number of runs scored is skewed, because of blowouts, and not an accurate statistic.

Thorlos Value
Value comes in many forms. But we are keenly aware that it boils down to you get what you pay for when you pay $14.95 for a pair of Thorlos, we know you have to get a lot in order for you to consider it a bargain. And that's the goal we set for ourselves giving you so much more than you expect in terms of protection, comfort and foot health.
Over the years, our new and long-time loyal customers have told us time and again in their testimonials why they experience Thorlos as the best socks to protect their feet. They have highlighted six different types of value you can count on from your Thorlos, and that's why they consider Thorlos such a bargain. Here is what you can hold us to, and some recent unsolicited testimonials that capture what current wearers have shared regarding their personal experiences
Functional Effectiveness – Thorlos are designed to provide the best price/value proposition
"These are the first socks I've ever worn that both comfort my abused feet, stay up all day without slippage and yet do not constrict my calves. Love these socks!! Worth every penny." Susan J.
"These socks keep my feet warm but also dry. They're like nothing else I've found, worth the money." Robert F.
"I have worn these socks for years to work, at home and to bed. Love these socks, great fit, great support all day long, and wear forever wash after wash. Buy these socks and you will never buy any other sock." Kathy S.
Durability – Thorlos are designed to last
"Since I bought my first pair of Thorlos socks, I have bought no other brand. The quality and comfort are unique. I buy a fraction of the socks I used to buy because Thorlos last so long. I am sure I am paying less for socks because of that. Even after months of use and washings, these look great and fit well." Richard B.
"I wear these socks to work every day. I manage a large vineyard so in the course of my job I do a fair amount of walking each day and I have found these to be the most comfortable socks I have ever used. They may be a little more expensive than other brands but I will wear them three to four times longer and they still feel good after years of service." Rand D.
"I have worn Thorlo for at least 20 years. Nothing out there will stand up to the punishment of these socks. I don't have to buy but every 5 to 6 years. I love your socks! " Brent S.
"This is only my second time ordering because these socks LAST. I have other socks that wear thin in a year and get pitched. Worth the money considering the quality." Kendra L.
Evidenced-based Benefits – Thorlos have been clinically shown to reduce blisters, reduce foot pain, reduce pressures and wick moisture
"Cheap socks were giving my feet blisters if I walked even a mile. Thorlos socks have never given me a blister. Count me very satisfied. These are expensive socks, and worth every penny." Michael C.
"I no longer have plantar fasciitis in using these Thor-Lo socks, nor pain in my calves. Amazing cushion while I run both long distance and conducting my interval trainings. Highly recommended!" Thomas B.
"Thorlos are the best socks on the market. Quality is top notch, they last a long time, the cushion is great and they are MADE IN THE USA! THORLON has wonderful wicking properties and completely prevents blisters. Doesn't matter how warm your feet are when you take Thorlos off because your feet are dry!!" Peg G.
Satisfaction/Enjoyment – Thorlos foot protection provides unsurpassed comfort
"Anybody who is active in sports or spends a lot of time on their feet should invest in Thorlos [padded] socks as their product isn't just another pair of socks. They're engineered for maximum comfort in whatever sport or use they're designed for. If you're into tennis or running, you have a lot invested in your feet and footwear and clothing .It makes sense not to skimp on your socks after you've tried on a pair of their socks as their socks are the only brand I'll wear because after I discovered them ,I'd never wear anything else-they're that good!!" Stephen M.
"I LOVE ALL my Thorlo [padded] socks. These socks fit perfectly. They NEVER slide down during the entire day, yet they do not cut off your circulation. I have no interest in buying any other brand of sock." Dee Dee S.
"You cannot beat the performance and comfort of these socks. Buying them online is fast and easy. You won't be sorry you tried these socks if you like thick, comfortable, long lasting socks! And best of all they are made in the USA." Gary B
Brand Promise Guarantee – Thorlos: Your feet will feel better or your money back®. Customers reinforce our promise in their feedback:
"Our whole family of five wears Thorlo socks, you won't get a better sock anywhere! Definitely worth the investment...I guarantee you that you will be in love with these [padded] socks and will never buy others ever again." Shari M.
"I don't wear any other [padded] socks unless all of my Thorlos are dirty!! Until I tried Thorlos, I thought "socks" were "socks". NOT!! I have some Thorlos that I have been wearing....probably weekly or almost.....for over 10 years! No other socks compare as far as I am concerned. I wear them for hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, work, play...every day! Don't mess with my Thorlos! Buy some. I guarantee if you don't like them, you can give them to me!" Brent M.
"I bought these as a gift for a retired football player. He introduced me to Thorlos and guaranteed they were the best socks ever. He was right!" Rebecca T.
Service – Thorlos customer service matches our product performance
"I just wanted to send a quick note to say that Becky Bass is the most helpful customer service rep I've worked with, out of any business I've called or emailed! She was so nice, and an A+ example of terrific customer service. I'll definitely keep coming back to Thorlos. Thanks so much!" Sarah B.
"I rarely take time to do these kinds of things, but I want to bring to your attention the excellent (actually unbelievable) customer service that I received from Susan Graham. The details are available from her, but I had a small issue with placing a web order, and Susan went above and beyond to assist me. Her customer service, in short, was the best I have ever received from any company, period. This quality reflects well on both your leadership and the company." Scott C.
"I am a Disney trained customer service "nut". I will not give my business to those that don't give OUTSTANDING customer service. Susan Graham just topped everyone that I have done business with in several years. Her caring and concern for her customer is very apparent. My business won't make or break your organization. However, if Susan's attitude is representative of your company's culture THORLO is in good hands." Ronald P.
Overall Value Means More Activity, Resulting in More Life!
All of these values lead in one way or another to a better quality of life. We call it More Life! The ultimate value or end-benefit wearers of Thorlos realize is the ability to do more of what they love…the things that keep them vital in body, mind and spirit.
Here's what we've heard most recently about the Thorlos price-value relationship:
The Best!!
These are the best socks in the world. I've been wearing them for over 25 years. The best value in the market. Absolutely love them!!
Thorlon - The only socks I wear for hiking, playing or simply walking. They cushion feet and are well made. I choose them over all other brands and have for years.
Style: MLH
I've never gone wrong by selecting Thorlo!!! Love e'm. If price is holding you back......do the math. The cost is much less than buying the number of cheap pairs of socks and a heckuva lot more comfortable.
Style: JMX
Great Value
02/01/13 | By Charles D.
I've used these socks for many years now. I run approximatly 30-40 miles per week. These last long and fit perfect. Great value for the price.
Style: TWD
I have been looking for these socks all my life!!!
02/01/13 | By Larry d V.
I have been wearing these type of socks for about 3 yrs now and i cannot say enough good about them, I got 4 pair for Christmas this Yeat and bought 4 more before the sale ran out. the only socks that stay up all day long. keep up the good work.

Style: 84NRCM
I run almost everyday and it takes a toll on your feet after a long period of time. I looked at these socks as an investment and they were well worth it. Soft, comfortable and durable. Built to last.
Style: KLT
Cool and Cushiony
I have worn Thorlo Hikers for years - this style has been terrific in years past in hiking boots all over the Beartooths in Montana. Today, I wear these thick socks with sandals - cool and comfortable after work. Feel great and I got a great 3 for 4 deal over the holidays. Nice price and they arrived in MT in a few days. Good company and nice product.
Style: KX
Been buying Thorlo's for years!
It doesn't seem like socks should would make that much of a difference. But, I've been wearing Thorlo's for 10 years because they make that much difference to me. I recommend to get at least 2 pair to try, wear them for 2 days in a row with the normal shoes you wear. They will soon be the only socks in your drawers! And they wear like iron.
They last forever
We love thorlo socks. My son and husband wear them all the time. My son started wearing them when he was in retail, on a concrete floor all day. It was a big deal when I gave my husband a pair of tennis socks for his birthday.

I can't say this picture necessarily makes me laugh, but it does make me smile :). The man on the left is my Great Grand Uncle James Eli Penecost who was born 28 Jan 1867 in Celina, Clay, TN and died 04 Feb 1941 in Koshkonong, Oregon, MO. The man on the right is my Great Grandfather James William Milburn Yates who was born 27 Sep 1862 in Roane County, TN and died 11 August 1938 in Olympia, Thurston, WA. The two men were brother-in-laws, being married to sisters Laura Breedlove (Jim P's second wife) and Cerilda Breedlove (Jim Yates' first wife).
There is no explanation in any of our family documents that would give us a clue why these two men had this picture taken, but just that it exists makes me think the coats they are wearing must have been very important to them. They both were living in Missouri at the time this photo was taken, and it can get mighty cold there in the winter. If I didn't know for sure who these men were, I would take them for some Russian immigrants, wouldn't you? Do you think that's a beaver coat that Jim Pentecost is wearing?

If you read the title of this article, it might be a bit misleading in that I was able to get the photo below with just Google. I did use SnagIt (which I LOVE!) too to capture the image. I am not real adept at using Google with SnagIt, so that's why you see that silly magnifying glass thing in the picture. Google presents the opportunity by supplying the street view; SnagIt makes it easy to capture. No doubt there are other ways.
My Grandpa Elvin "Al" and Grandma Lillian "Eppy" (Epstein) Moline lived on the second floor in this building probably from the 1950's to the late '60's. The address is 1105 Spring Street, Seattle, WA. I think it's called the Decatur Condos now. They had the apartment at the bottom of the photo, which included the small balcony. Grandma was a sun worshiper, so no doubt she was delighted to have a way to get outside. Their apartment was a corner one, so the three windows from left to right shows the size of their one bedroom abode.
The far left window was their bedroom whose window was really a cool patio door that opened to the balcony. In the middle was the living room, and I think one side of those windows might have opened to the balcony also. The kitchen windows are last to the right of the three. My brother has the drop leaf table that used to sit in front of the kitchen window.
This apartment had an effect on me I can't quite explain. We lived in an old farmhouse in Tumwater. This apartment was the opposite side of the coin and seemed very posh to me. A couch on one wall in the living room, and two club chairs with a beautiful wooden secretary faced it from the opposite wall. There were nice paintings on the walls and tasteful knick knacks scattered here and their, but not overdone. Grandpa Molines's father was a furniture maker, so I suppose an appreciation for fine furniture rubbed off on him. Grandma (she was my mom's step mother) was a bridge player and a registered nurse, so she was very social and was used to being with people all the time, from all walks of life. Some of the jokes she told would make you blush.
Last, but not least, was one more attraction for Dave and I when we visited the grandparents in this building. We were always pumped to get in the elevator and ride to…the second floor. That was pretty anticlimatic, so we would beg Mom to let us go "exploring". We made a beeline right for the elevator and rode it up and down lots of times before we saw the same people more than once. They gave us the "eye" and we knew we had to give up our fun before someone reported us to the office. We never once did anything destructive or even thought to do that. We were just kids out of our element. Good times! Good memories!

How do you feed 13,000 people?
Feast of Sharing recipe calls for lots of food, lots of love
CORPUS CHRISTI - Enough tamales to line Shoreline Boulevard and apple pies that would stack as high as City Hall will be served up today at the 20th annual Feast of Sharing.
But those are just side treats and desserts.
About 3,200 pounds of sliced ham -- the weight of a small sport utility vehicle -- will be the main course for an estimated 13,000 people expected to attend today's free community dinner at American Bank Center's Convention Center. That will be about 10 percent more diners than last year, organizers said.
The feast, which is open to all, will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today.
Also on the menu will be enough mashed potatoes to fill two extended pickup beds and the same of green beans, say cooks who unloaded a semi-truck load of 20 pallets of food Tuesday.
The dinner is hosted by H-E-B in coordination with the city. The holiday tradition began in Laredo in 1988 and has spread to 28 locations in Texas and Mexico and serves more than 250,000 meals.
About 15 Del Mar College culinary students volunteered Tuesday to practice what they've learned, that preparation is the bigger part of presentation, said Chef Mark Carpenter, in charge of the Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management programs at the school. Carpenter also drafted his two sons.
"I enjoy helping out," said Colin Carpenter, 17, as he stripped the plastic wrapper from a dozen tamales and plopped them into a pan.
All of the wrapped or canned food arrives in cases cinched to pallets. The volunteer crew worked daylong unloading pallets, breaking down cartons, opening plastic packages and layering food into about 1,200 baking pans for refrigeration until heated today.
Five students and one faculty member kept six slicers whirling for about six hours, while others unwrapped, halved and staged the about 400 smoked and pre-cooked Tyson 7- to 9-pound boneless hams on stainless steel tables.
"We'll just add some pineapple juice and brown sugar, and heat these pans in the ovens," said Lisa Pollukis, a faculty member helping.
Amid the preparation about 11 a.m. students were reminded about safety.
Fayaz Tanous, 20, cut the tip off his index finger on a slicer. He told everyone he was OK, and another volunteer drove him to the hospital.
The ham Tanous was slicing was discarded, and the counter, floor and machinery were cleaned with disinfectant, then a bleach solution. It's the first student injury in the 13 years they have helped, Carpenter said.
"Maybe it's the worst thing that will happen this year," Carpenter said. "It tops last year's pans of burned tamales."
When: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today
Where: American Bank Center Convention Center; 1901 N. Shoreline
Parking: Free
Bus Service: Free service to the American Bank Center with pickups at City Hall, 1201 Leopard St., or free transportation to City Hall from any other service location by telling the driver you are going to the event.

I'm a very nice laid back nice guy who loves...
I'm a very nice laid back nice guy who loves to joke around and make people laugh. Don't get me wrong though. I do know how to be serious when I need to. I'm a generous listener, which makes conversing with me pretty effortless, never a chore. You're more likely to see me laughing than getting uptight over nothing and I'm what you'd probably call a decent, good-natured person with an easygoing personality. I'm tired of playing games and I just want to find that special woman.

Increasing the negative ions beam neutralization efficiency in NBI system is rather attractive. It is known, that neutralization efficiency of negative ion beam on plasma is higher than on gas. The model of plasma neutralizer for ITER NBI system - PNX-U facility is described here. Obtained experimental results give that chosen conception is promising and plasma neutralizer allows essential improvement of NBI system.

Low Firing with Wood
Chartreuse, pink, and purple are not colors you would typically associate with a wood firing, as these colors tend to get washed out in a high-fired wood kiln. For Richard James, the process of wood firing was central to his work, but he was often disappointed by the surfaces. So he adapted the process to fit the low-fire earthenware aesthetic he preferred. Now he finds he can retain the spontaneity of traditional wood firing, but also open opportunities for color and a more detailed surface. In today's post, an excerpt from our revised freebie, Wood Kiln Firing Techniques & Tips: Plans and Instructions for Making a Wood-fired Kiln and Firing with Wood, he shares his techniques.- Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
