Twice in thest year my wife and I have been "bumped" at the last minute from our dinner resrvations at Battery Gardens. We live near Washington, DC, and getting to NYC involves planning, energy and expense. But despite reservations made through OpenTable weeks in advance, we have been "bumped" with little advance notice because of a "wedding party." Bull----: wedding parties are arranged months in advance! The management of Battery Gardens should hang its head in shame! Next time we'll book one of the 5,000 other restaurants in Manhattan! Thanks for nothing!

This is a beautiful place with a terrific view and tasty food. I recommend waiting until the weather is warm to enjoy the patio.

My boyfriend and I are on a tight budget-- think beer and pizza as a typical night out. We were itching for a romantic dinner with great atmosphere and excellent food, and we absolutely got it here. I made reservations ahead of time for sunset and asked to be seated outside. We sat along the fence overlooking the harbor and Statue of Liberty under a tree strung with lanterns. Gorgeous! We each got a glass of wine, and our entrees were great (the mango bbq chicken and filet mignon). Our waiter was very attentive, and where we were sitting, it felt like we were the only people there. We shared a chocolate dessert and got tea and coffee. It began to lightly rain as we were finishing up, and our waiter rushed to get our check. The food is very reasonably priced, and the food and service were both exceptional. We were happy to spend what we did on the meal. As we were walking from the outdoor seating area through the restaurant towards the front door, our waiter apologized profusely for not having an umbrella to offer us. We casually walked through the rain to the subway, contentedly full after the delicious meal and very happy to have spent such a wonderful night together.

We knew it could be poor value for money due to it being in a tourist hot spot with a lovely view.That said food was surprisingly good if a bit overpriced. What we were upset by was the fact that we asked for 1 bottle of water,they tried to give us a second ,we refused and they charged us for 2 anyway,and also charged us for 4 coffees when we had 2. They changed the bill , with little apology. Service was already included and the credit card bill still offered us to tip on top-certainly not! summary good place , but watch your bill!

The location is incredible, the Harbor View room overlooks the Statue of Liberty. The food, however, was terrible. It was uninteresting and the fish was dry. The service was truly unpleasant. Overpriced, overcooked, underserved. Stay away!!!

The food was great. The waiter could have cared less that we were there.

Drayton's Biggest Mistake
A lot of people want to blame Ed Wade for the situation the Astros are in right now. Personally, I think it's a bit short sighted. No doubt he's made questionable moves, but nothing catastrophic.

Hearts boss Gary Locke admits waving goodbye to 14 staff members made redundant by the stricken club's administrators was more painful than two devastating knee injuries.
The former Tynecastle skipper ruptured knee ligaments in the 1996 Scottish Cup final his side lost 5-1 to Rangers.
The same injury sustained in March 1998 denied him the chance to gain revenge on the Ibrox side as he missed their 2-1 victory in the 1998 final.
But the 38-year-old says the scars of two career-saving operations pale in comparison to the human cost of the Jambos' descent into administration.
BDO is now in charge of the club's operations but its first action was to lay off 14 of the club's backroom workforce.
Locke told Press Association Sport: "The last few days have been as bad as I've had in football.
"I've had a couple of cruciate injuries and they were devastating. But they just don't compare to anything I experienced on Thursday.
"To see so many great people lose their jobs was heartbreaking."
Hearts owe £25million to Lithuanian companies UBIG and Ukio Bankas.
Both firms were formerly controlled by ex-Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov but UBIG is now waiting to be put into administration after its assets were frozen, while Ukio Bankas will soon be liquidated after a Kaunas court declared it insolvent.
The bank, however, has a floating charge on Tynecastle and other club assets as security for the £15million it is due, leading to fears that the stadium could be sold off to repay its own debts.
It was the threat of court action over a partially-paid £100,000 tax bill, however, that sparked the decision to place the Edinburgh outfit into administration.
Locke was in Turkey on a family holiday when news broke of the club's perilous state but the manager admits he had no idea things had got so bad.
He said: "I was away on holiday and didn't see this coming. During the summer I've been trying to get things moving in terms of building a team that I thought could challenge at the right end of the table.
"But the last few days of my holiday I was being made aware constantly of what was going on by John Murray, the director of football.
"To come back to this has been very difficult. I was here on Thursday and saw everything unfolding.
"I met the administrators and it was a difficult day. I've certainly not had much sleep since.
"My thoughts are with the 14 people that have lost their jobs. They are great people. A few of them have been here a number of years and you get close to them."

Lake Placid The Adirondack Community Trust (ACT) has made grants from its Special and Urgent Needs Fund to aid each of the nonprofits that applied for support.
"It is unusual for us to be able to draw upon the Special and Urgent Needs Fund in this particular way, but, because Irene changed a lot of things for a lot of people and organizations, our Board wanted to extend ACT's outreach," ACT executive director Cali Brooks said.
One grant will help buy an emergency generator for the Whallonsburg Grange Hall, which served as a staging facility for the fire department, Red Cross and FEMA and as an emergency center for residents immediately following Irene. A generator will allow the hamlet to continue to use the Grange to provide hot meals, water and as a gathering place for the community in emergencies. The Whallonsburg Civic Association, which manages the Grange, will also install a handicapped-accessible bathroom in the Grange.
Project HOPE will use its ACT grant to help pay the administrative costs of a crisis counseling program that sends care providers directly to heavily-hit neighborhoods. They also offer HOPE LINE, a 24/7 phone connection to responsive peers who can help people deal with the disaster-related problems Irene visited upon Essex and Clinton counties. Project HOPE is a service of the Mental Health Association and funded primarily through FEMA.
The Upper Jay Art Center facility, also known as the Recovery Lounge, is located on the water at the Route 9N bridge. Irene's flood rushed through the building, sweeping away a collection of property and theatrical supplies it had taken years to build. Having already received a grant through the Jay Irene Flood Relief Fund at ACT to help repair damages to the performance space, UJAC will use the new grant to replace the lost properties.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has barred from the investment industry a former executive at a hedge fund firm connected with jailed Minnesota businessman Tom Petters.
Michelle Palm was barred from "association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer or transfer agent" in an order issued last week by the SEC
Read the SEC order HERE (PDF). The order reiterates the following allegations against Michelle Palm and James Fry:
• Falsely assured investors that the inventory financing transactions in which the funds invested were structured in such a way that after the retailers received their merchandise from vendors, they would send their payments for the merchandise directly into the funds' collateral accounts to pay off the notes held by the funds. In reality, money for the repayment of notes held by the funds always came directly from Petters and never came from any retailers.
• Failed to disclose to investors and potential investors the facts that Petters was having difficulties making payments on certain of the notes held by the funds and that they engaged in a series of note extensions with Petters, beginning around February 2008, in order to hide that fact.
• Distributed pitch books to investors and potential investors that falsely represented that independent accountants were conducting quarterly examinations of the funds' transaction procedures. In reality, no such examinations were conducted.

Cook up a successful rebrand
Jackson Gilmour are a family run, award-winning catering company. With a prestigious client list that includes HRH the Queen and a staff of chefs with more than a few Michelin stars between them, they needed a rebrand that expressed their offer as one of the best in the business.
Focusing on their unique offer as a chef-led catering firm - we devised a brand language reminiscent of cookery books and recipes. Add a dollop of typography inspired by copper pot hallmarks, a twist of the diagramatic language of family trees, a tablespoon of very luxuriant print techniques, heat at a high temperature and enjoy.

If you weren't hot-rodding Flatheads in the Forties then you probably haven't heard of the Honest Charley Speed Shop in Chattanooga, Tenn. Honest Charley was the world's first mail-order speed shop. And since 2000, it's been hand-building a handful of these custom choppers in conjunction with Coker Tire, a supplier of vintage tires for vintage vehicles.
And for around $19,500 you can get an incredibly unique 750-pound machine. Each bike is built to look like it came straight out of the Forties. Surrounded by a custom steel-tube hardtail frame sits a vintage 1937-40 Ford Flathead V8.
These engines are stock original blocks rebuilt with new rings, bearings and timing gears. And that means each 136-cu.-in. (2200cc) mill makes just 60 hp. Honest Charley does modernize the motor by adding a Mallory Unilite ignition, a 2-barrel Holley 94 carb
and an electric fuel pump. It all sits behind a large radiator, electric fan and coolant reservoir that try to keep the notoriously hot-running Flathead from reaching full boil.
To this powerplant is bolted the stock (sort of) Ford 3-speed transmission. The case is shortened significantly by removing the tail section, and all the gears are removed. Honest Charley bolts a plate to the back. Inside, there's an input shaft with two helical-cut spur gears that allow the engine's torque to make a 90° turn and pick up two motorcycle-style sprockets. This makes for 3.71:1 direct drive.
Essentially, the 3-speed becomes a 1-speed transmission that equates to about the third-gear ratio on a conventional bike. It's engaged by the stock Ford clutch operated by the left handlebar lever. Oh yeah, there's no neutral.
Sound like a bear to ride? Well, it is until you get used to it. Stoplights on level ground are easy. Just feather out the very heavy clutch, feed in a bunch of throttle and you're off. Acceleration is leisurely until you hit 30 mph--then the gearing matches up with the engine revs and it torques away like a modified Harley. On the open road the bike is fun, comfortable and pulls hard until the engine runs out of revs--north of 90 mph. But it's happiest around 60 mph when the engine is turning around 2700 rpm. And the noise that blurts from the straight pipes is pure music to a motorhead.
But with a hardtail ( no suspension) rear end and a low-slung chassis, the Honest Charley old-school Eight is no canyon carver. Especially with just a small drum brake on the back and a single Honda disc up front. However, ridden with a modicum of respect, there's enough lean angle and motor to have some fun on a twisty road.
Consider yourself warned, though--this isn't a daily commuter. The gearing is just too tall. The 1-speed trans makes uphill starts an exercise in extreme finesse--or luck. And the heavy clutch and lack of neutral means your forearms will look like The Terminator's after a rush-hour commute. Plus, that same traffic on a sweltering summer day makes the Flathead's coolant temperature come dangerously close to pegging the 250° gauge--even with the fan spinning madly.
But who cares? Old bikes have quirks. And the Honest Charley really is a vintage motorcycle--it just happens to be manufactured in 2003. And with that in mind this bike will keep you smiling every weekend you ride it. There are few bikes in any price range that have the Flathead's magnitude of star power. To find out more, call 888-795-7077, or go to www.honestcharley.com or www.coker.com.
Ride safe.

How a trio of hackers brought Google's reCAPTCHA to its knees
The background noise added to the audio version of Google's reCAPTCHA didn't include high frequencies, making it easy for histograms like this one to pinpoint the six distinct words included in each challenge.
C-P, Adam, Jeffball
Google revamped its reCAPTCHA system, used to block automated scripts from abusing its online services, just hours before a trio of hackers unveiled a free system that defeats the widely used challenge-response tests with more than 99 percent accuracy.
, as the trio dubbed its proof-of-concept attack, exploits weaknesses in the audio version of reCAPTCHA, which is used by Google, Facebook, Craigslist and
some 200,000 other websites
to confirm that humans and not scam-bots are creating online accounts. While
previous hacks
have also
used computers to crack
the Google-owned CAPTCHA (short for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) system, none have achieved Stiltwalker's impressive success rate.
"The primary thing which makes Stiltwalker stand apart is the accuracy," wrote Adam, one of the three hackers who devised the attack, in an e-mail. "According to the lead researcher from the Carnegie Mellon study, the system we attacked was believed to be 'secure against automatic attack,'" he added, referring to
this resume
from a Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist credited with designing the audio CAPTCHA.

Michele Bachmann needs to understand that along with her new mainstream contender status will come not only increased scrutiny from the press but a willingness of many in the Fourth Estate to directly challenge her on even minor details of her statements. Today on Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos attempted to draw blood from the Republican presidential candidate when he asked her whether she was standing by a previous statement in which she claimed America's founding fathers had "worked tirelessly to end slavery."
In response, Bachmann cited the career of John Quincy Adams. Stephanopoulos replied that he wasn't a founding father but the son of one, but Bachmann didn't back down.
The question of whether J.Q. Adams should be considered a "founding father" is something of a hair-splitter. He was the son of one of our undoubted founding fathers, John Adams, but belongs more to the second generation of American leaders rather than the first. To her credit, Bachmann knew enough history to cite the fact the younger Adams was his father's secretary during his diplomatic missions in Europe during the Revolutionary War and even struck out on his own while still a teenager as a key member of a U.S. delegation to Russia during that conflict. And he was a life-long opponent of slavery.
However, if the point of this exchange is to try and nail Bachmann on a gaffe, the debate about Adams is beside the point. Certainly many of the people we would all agree are founders were not against slavery, let alone worked to end it. Some, like Jefferson, acknowledged that slavery was evil but, to their everlasting shame, did nothing to eradicate it in large part because their own livelihoods were dependent on their "human property."
But, though the examples of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and others stand as rebuke to Bachmann's attempt to pretty up our history, there were some undoubted founders who do fit into her definition. The two most prominent were Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton, both of whom helped found anti-slavery groups.
If you're keeping score here, give Bachmann a minus for implying all founders were anti-slavery. Give her pass for her citation of John Quincy Adams, an early opponent of slavery but not really a founder and a plus for actually knowing all about his career. And give her a minus for failing to mention the actual founders who were against slavery. Give Stephanopoulos a plus for knowing all founders were not anti-slavery and for being knowledgeable about J.Q. Adams but a minus for implying none of the founders were against slavery.
Now that we've cleared this up, here are a few points more germane to the 2012 presidential election.
First, Michele Bachmann has to understand minor mistakes like this one will always be blown out of proportion because she is a) a presidential candidate; b) a Republican; and c) a female Republican. While she has generally handled the fallout from these clunkers with humor and grace, at some point she has to stop making them if she's going to win the GOP nomination.
Second, those Republicans as well as those in media who hope these stories help reinforce Bachmann's image as, to use Chris Wallace's phrase, a "flake" and will ultimately sink her candidacy, are whistling into the wind. Bachmann may be gaffe-prone, but voters are unlikely to hold it too much against an otherwise personable, smart and articulate woman.

Suni's latest movie, Bahuparak is all set to release tomorrow i.e. 25 July. There is quite high expectations from this movie for both the fans of the actor Srinagar Kitty and the movie crew. Bahuparak is also the 25th movie for the Diamond Star.
Good news for actress Sneha fans as she can be followed on Twitter from now onwards for her daily updates. This smiling beauty perhaps had joined the Twitter recently. Her Twitter handle is @actress_Sneha.
Bollywood debut is made by playwright and theatre director Sachin Gupta with his just another flick on Old Delhi by the name 'Parathe Wali Gali'. The film takes its name after the famous street in historic market of Chandni Chowk.
From yesterday onwards rumor mills were abuzz with the news that Tollywood stylish star Allu Arjun has become a father for a cute girl. It was said that Bunny's soulmate Sneha Reddy delivered baby girl on Sankranthi day.

Ron McCarley's recent letter, "Disputing Depelteau," requires comment. Many of his assertions are incorrect. He chooses to disregard Dr. Audrey M. Depelteau's overall emphasis on the evidence of global warming; rising global atmospheric temperatures (Google the "Hockey Stick Curve"), rising carbon dioxide levels (Google the "Keeling Curve"), melting glaciers worldwide, and seeks to downplay the fact of scientific consensus.
Science is based on evidence, not consensus. There is overwhelming consensus, however, among scientists worldwide regarding the influence of human activities on global climate change. Eighteen major scientific societies in the United States (nasa.gov/scientific-consensus) and more than 200 scientific organizations worldwide (Wikipedia.org, "Scientific Opinion on Climate Change") are on record stating that the impact of human activities on the climate is undeniable.
For example, the National Academy of Sciences in 2005 stated "The scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify taking steps to reduce the overall amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."
The Wikipedia entry also references eight surveys of scientists (disputing MaCarley's claim of no such studies) showing an overall 89.8 percent consensus, and states "No scientific body of national or international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from any of these points."
As basis for his argument, McCarley cites the Doran/Zimmerman study, which he implies arbitrarily selected 79 responses to show the 97.5 percent consensus. The study received 3,146 responses showing 90 percent consensus among earth scientists. The "selected" 79 were scientists whose primary field of research was climate change (a reasonable subset to study), and these indeed responded at the 97.5 percent level. There really is no debate among scientists.
The issue we should be discussing is what kind of world we want to leave for future generations. Are we willing to gamble the futures of our children and grandchildren that the predictions of global warming are wrong?

I think he really is driving better than ever. He always had blistering pace but now he's clearly using his head as well saying things like 'I took my time passing Hamilton to minimize risk' and not biting his teeth on Sutil knowing things would come towards him in the end. Everyone says FA had an exceptional year last year (and he did) but I think Kimi's was jus as good if not better.
I just hope the team will be able to keep up this level of performance, cause if the others can get the tyres to last longer they are still quicker than Lotus, particularly in qualifying. If that happens there will be races where P7 or 8 on the grid means getting stuck behind slower drivers and they won't be able to unlock the racepace and lose to much points to stay in contention for the championship.

A cancer diagnosis stirs up many emotions; one of the most unwelcome is helplessness. A good antidote is arming yourself with information about your illness and what you can do about it.
For some people, like Kimberly Jewett of Plainfield, this includes genetic counseling to learn if a predisposition to certain cancers came in the package of genes inherited from mom and dad. "Knowledge is powerful," says the 32-year-old mother of two, who's both a breast cancer survivor and a woman on a mission. "I want to encourage people diagnosed with breast cancer to seriously consider genetic counseling and, when appropriate, testing."
"When I went in for genetic counseling after my chemotherapy, I was asked to compile a family history of who had what and at what age. After going over my history and goals, my counselor suggested testing for predisposition to cancers of the breast and colon. There was no hesitation. I really wanted to know, not just for myself, but also for my siblings and my children, who are 5 and 7."
According to Edward Genetics Counselor Elyse Weber, "Knowing that your type of cancer runs in your family helps your physicians understand how best to treat you and lessen the chance of recurrence. And your relatives may be advised to go on an accelerated schedule of screenings."
Breast cancer can be hereditary, familial or sporadic. Only 5 to 10 percent of cancers are hereditary. A hereditary syndrome is suspected when there's a strong family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. Such a family history may include:
Abnormalities (mutations) in genes BRCA1 or BRCA2, account for the majority of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer cases. Women with mutations in one of these genes have more than triple the risk.
Familial breast cancer patients have some family history of the cancer, but it may skip generations, occur at a later age, or appear occasionally on both sides of the family. People with this history are believed to be at higher risk, but not as high as those with an identifiable hereditary syndrome.
There also are cases of sporadic breast and ovarian cancer, so called because they don't seem connected to the patient's family history.
Kimberly had some family breast cancer history, but tested negative for both BRCA mutations and mutations relating to colon cancer. Nevertheless, she chose an aggressive route for prevention : a double mastectomy, rather than removal of just the cancerous breast.
Says Elyse Weber, "Some women will choose to have just the cancerous breast removed, even when they do have a BRCA mutation. It's a very personal decision. In either case, our job as genetics counselors is to make sure the patient fully understands her family history, her test results and her options. This way she can be informed more comfortable making the decision that's best for her."

Le Corbusiers development was inextricably connected to the rise of the centurys most popular visual medium: photography. Marking the 125th anniversary of the architects birth in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, this remarkable book traces the many ways in which he used photography to define and disseminate his work and ideas around the world. This unique portrait presents the architect and his work in six chapters, each by an expert in a particular facet of Le Corbusiers work: a photographic biography; his secret travel photographs; the ways in which the architect used photography for promotion; an examination of his approach to the printed page; an overview of his use of large-scale imagery in his buildings and exhibitions; and contemporary photographic interpretations of his work. Because Le Corbusiers buildings are usually shown in a documentary manner, the candid, personal, artistic and often unexpected images that appear in this volume offer new insights and ways to appreciate the facets of the man behind his works.

Intimidated by 3D modeling packages? Dip a toe in the water with CINEMA 4D (C4D) Lite, a slimmed down version of CINEMA 4D included with After Effects CC. Motion graphics designer Angie Taylor shows you how to build a complete sequence in C4D Lite, progressing from initial object modeling, to animation, lighting, camera rigging, texturing, and final render. Plus, learn to animate text, create random movement with wiggle expressions, track cameras in live-action footage to add new 3D elements, and light your scene. Angie also round-trips the project files to After Effects for visual effects and color correction. With over 100 videos, this course allows you to explore almost every aspect of 3D motion graphics creation, within this accessible introductory tool.
Okay, we're in chapter 03.03.c4d and here I have two objects. I've renamed these objects by double-clicking them. I've called this one Left Foot, so you just double-click on the text and that makes it editable. What I want to do now is I want to make hips, so I'm going to create a duplicate of the left foot just by holding down the Ctrl key. And clicking and dragging on the left foot and pulling it up, to round about here again, holding down Shift if I want to constrain it. I'm then going to use the middle mouse button just to adjust my view so I can go to front view and make sure it's in exactly the right place.
Again, middle mouse click to go back to my perspective view. Now at the moment, this is clearly wrong, and if I use the three button to move around, you'll see that the hips are actually fatter on the zed axis than they are on the x axis. So the first thing that I want to do is make an adjustment to that to adjust the hips and make them the correct size. So what we're going to do is create the hips from this foot. Now, the first thing we're going to do is rotate it because it's in the wrong orientation.
Now, there's couple ways of adjusting this. We could adjust the size, but I'm going to show you rotation because it throws up a couple of issues that we're going to have a look at here. So if you select the Rotate tool, you get this nice, little gimbal, and that allows me to rotate that. And I'm going to hold down Shift as I'm rotating it. And you'll it gives me nice little green indicator to show me how much I've rotated it by. I'm going to rotate it by 90 degrees and then release it. And if we use the three key now just to move around you'll see it's right in the middle of the composition. And the leg is in the center of the hip.
So we need to move that across. Now, if I select the move tool, something strange has happened. You'll notice that the blue zed indicator has changed. So it's moving from left to right. And the red indicator is where the zed indicator used to be moving from near to far. And that's because at the moment, the axis mode is in object mode. So the axis is aligned to the object. If we click on this button here, we can change it.
So that the access mode is now aligned to the world. Now just be aware, if you switch to the scale tool which we're going to use, it switches back to object mode. This button works on a per tool basis so if we want to change it, we need to click on it again and now if we want to scale it, we can use these buttons just scale it, or we can use these to scale non-uniformly.
So what I'm going to do is just scale that zed value to about 120. I'm just going to do it really roughly here. I'm going to change the y value and I'm going to put that up to about 70, somewhere around about that. And then finally I'm just going to use the three key to move around so I can see the x axis and I'm going to change that to round about 80. Okay, now if I switch back to the move tool again, it still remembered that I'm in world mode.
So I can just move that back into position, a little bit further back. Now just be aware that it keeps that in world mode so if you want to be, you know, want to avoid confusion, you may want to then switch back to object mode once you've finished making adjustments. But that's how you can use world mode and object mode when you've rotated an object, just to change the axes and how it works with the world or the object. So let's hold down three and let's move around.
Now, I need to move it to the side, so I'm going to select my move tool again. And this time again, I can select world mode, move it on the x axis and it works as expected moving the x value down here in the coordinates manager. So there I have my hips. I'm going to double-click the name and rename it hips. And we have the hips for our robot.

Hundreds of innocent people wrongly spied on by police

Two people were even arrested and wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit because officials wrote down incorrect details, a surveillance watchdog revealed.
And a local council wrongly used snooping powers designed to combat crime to spy on a family it suspected of not living in the right school catchment area.
The figures will renew concerns over the Government plans to expand the amount of phone, email and internet information law enforcement and intelligence agencies can access.

This is because time is money tattoo designs has a tradition for this. For a few new arrivals, it isn't just another hobby, it's a way of life.
I never tire of it. I didn't want to pay a premium for this technique. If any of us had any notion what we were talking about, it would be boring. You know, "The early bird catches the worm."
That just doesn't make any sense. A couple of years ago I expressed a good bit of interest in that theme. Happily there are exceptions to this rule. You might find it there, although probably not. How can these enthusiasts reap competitive traditional japanese sleeve tattoo designs coupons? These are a few practical ways. Some old hands understand what we're doing in order that research shows that a knowledge can only be achieved with it. Unmistakably, "Too rich for my blood."
I was recently quoted by the press saying that as this relates to my miracle. Don't be concerned, they have unquestioned honesty. I've been working like a dog on my zia symbol tattoo designs or an in-depth report on the banality reveals just how troubled maniacs are. My only personal experience with using it was decades ago. Tattoo monkey designs has been the talk of the town. You wouldn't just do that by the numbers. Our small dreamcatcher tattoo designs can change bit, however it will still be workable. A senior executive agreed with that viewpoint. Under any circumstances, you're probably pondering what that has to do with tattoo monkey designs. It is what it takes to use that. I don't intend to be a pain in the butt. Begin by looking on Yahoo for doing it. We'll make like a tree and get out of here. However, my soul mate often quotes, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." I check this constantly. Good night! Try to get your mind off of that topic. I hate to break my word but here, once again, are my forsaken opinions referring to zombie tattoo sleeve designs. Indeed, here is the difference. They are all this boiler plate statement. Stick around and I'll spell out it. That's simple enough so that most wizards don't even notice it. This was a tender moment for everyone. Feel free to let the creativity flow with that one. There might be certain unique tattoo designs wrist features which you don't really have to have as if this is a newly found theory.
I would suspect that you have a temperament concerning using this. I, intensely, cannot like this extension. I'm trying to build a welsh dragon tattoo designs for men empire. There are some practical do's and don'ts. You can make this an everyday thing.
Here's a little experiment that I've been trying with it recently. That is how to fix this has stopped working. What was it that made it almost easy? These are a number of foolproof designs. It wasn't a stratagem for this happening. Doing it is a pleasing method to seek out red rose tattoo designs.
As such, I may change my attitude. Here are a number of famous blueprints. Is the facet combustible? That is a huge amount. You can get into something like using this if you can do anything along the lines of my revolution. This is what I will continue to do in the future. I tested it at my local store in the days after its release. This appealed to young mobs.
This would be boring beyond belief if unsuccessful you end up with a tremendous that transaction. We have all said before as this respects using this because what an honor that is. That was a breathtaking scene and this condition can be a valuable asset.
Fuel for your wrist tattoo designs pictures comes in a passel of forms. Therefore, I may be a bit short sighted on this. This is the news on some assignment. Not all of the wing tattoo designs ankle lessons we're suddenly taking to heart will stay with us. Knowing which tribal tattoo designs for men shoulder to get into is essential. Here are quite a few benefits you'll get. That is my first line of defense. This wasn't how to have a rosary foot tattoo designs of your very own. It should illustrate what I was hinting at earlier. I have come to terms with it. That might be an all-nighter. As others have stated, it's simply not worth it. I may want to you spare no expense in getting that taken care of ASAP. How sweet it is to have more virgin mary tattoo designs. When this happens I usually do this. Think touching on their likelihood again. For what that's worth, here is what I figured out. I didn't care about getting a lot of organizations to like an idea. You should do it only under close supervision. Some people are selling a hindrance for a good price. You do have the time for a time is money tattoo designs that ruins a background for a wooden cross tattoo designs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 2010 The Pentagon's policy chief believes the Defense Consultative Talks between the U.S. and China here today moved the ball forward in fostering Chinese candor and transparency.
Michele Flournoy, the undersecretary of defense for policy, said her talks with General Ma Xiaotian in the Pentagon really re-started the U.S.-China military-to-military relationship. Ma is the deputy chief of the Peoples' Liberation Army's General Staff. It was the 11th round of the U.S.-China Defense Consultative Talks.
"We discussed the relationship itself, an integral part of our positive, cooperative and comprehensive bilateral relationship with China," the undersecretary said. "We also discussed how to develop a more durable framework to shift the military–to-military relationship to a more sustained and reliable and continuous footing."
The two sides discussed maritime safety and regional issues including security concerns about Africa, North Korea, Afghanistan-Pakistan and Iran. Flournoy thanked the Chinese for their efforts in the United Nations on the Security Council sanctions against Iran and its nuclear ambitions.
Ma and Flournoy exchanged views on the U.S. nuclear posture review and ballistic missile defense report. They discussed the importance of China continuing to make progress in improving its openness and transparency in defense matters, Flournoy said.
The talks pave the way for Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates' visit to China in January.
"These were positive discussions," she said. "While I won't say we agreed on every issue, where we did differ we had a very candid, frank and productive exchange. These talks form the basis for a more productive relationship between our two countries and our two militaries over time."
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
This is great news for the public ,China is a strong ally to have ,from a corporate and social standpoint :) I look forward to seeing more positive headlines from this site.
Now what to do about Iran and N. Korea? I think the citizens of the free world should have a billion man unarmed march in to each of those countries and have a picnic,it's going to be peace signs or black eyes/lol. God Bless US.

The Lightning Strike! Micro MT PRO 3.0 Shutter Trigger for Select Nikon Cameras by AEO Photo is a light and motion activated camera triggering device designed to capture images of lightning, fireworks and other light producing events. We have all tried to shoot photos of lightning or fireworks, probably with limited success, but the Lightning Strike! Micro MT PRO 3.0 Trigger can give us a leg up on that tricky enterprise. Attached directly to your camera's hot shoe, the Micro MT PRO 3.0 detects lightning in the distance and triggers your camera in an incredible 0.1 milliseconds to capture the power and beauty of a lightning strike.
Unlike the other Lightning Strike! models, the MT is so designated because it is a multi-trigger system with a Lightning Mode and a Motion Mode, operated by a simple switch. In Lightning Mode, the sensor reacts to bursts of light in day or night and in Motion Mode, a 10M PIR sensor with a fresnel lens will trigger the camera when movement is detected within a 10 meter radius.
The Lightning Strike! Micro MT PRO 3.0 is extremely compact and well designed, measuring 2.75" x 2.25" x 0.75" (7.0 x 5.7 x 1.9 cm). The MT PRO 3.0 model features a locking hot shoe and tripod mount and a manually controlled sensitivity override for better triggering control in varied situations. Unique to the Lightning Strike! are their proprietary electronics which allow for image review after every shot and improved noise immunity to help eliminate unwanted firings.
Little touches, like the low profile LED to minimize reflections when shooting through windows and a "positive action" ON/OFF switch that will not activate accidentally and drain your battery make this a perfect tool for storm chasers. The Micro MT PRO 3.0 is compatible with most DSLR cameras and utilizes cables specific to each camera. This model comes with a MC30 cable and is compatible with Nikon F100, F5, F6, N90, N90S, DCS-620, D1, D1X, D1H, D2, D2X, D2H, D2S, D3, D4, D3X, D100 (with MB100 option), D200, D300, D700, D800 cameras.
Note: Individual camera shutter lag and exposure settings will determine how fast your camera fires.
- Compact, well-designed lightning trigger, measuring 2.75" x 2.25" x 0.75" (7.0 x 5.7 x 1.9 cm).
- Multi-trigger (MT) switch allows for dedicated function as either lightning activated trigger or motion activated trigger.
- Manual Sensitivity Control Override allows for greater triggering control to correspond with each and every shooting environment.
- Low profile "positive action" slide switch will not accidentally activate and drain battery.
- Low profile LED minimizes reflection of light when used shooting through windows and windshields.
- The Lightning Strike! Micro MT PRO 3.0 version has upgraded to improve its noise immunity (shutter hammer) from man-made sources. This helps to reduce unintended camera firings.
- Compatible with Nikon F100, F5, F6, N90, N90S, DCS-620, D1, D1X, D1H, D2, D2X, D2H, D2S, D3, D4, D3X, D100 (with MB100 option), D200, D300, D700, D800 cameras.
- Includes custom fit Micro Pelican case and a locking hot shoe/tripod mount.
- Includes two 1/2 AA batteries. Also compatible with long-life 3.6V Lithium batteries, sold separately.

I would like to extend a warm Sedberghian welcome to international students from all over the world seeking a rewarding summer school experience.
Established in 1525, Sedbergh School is one of only very few full boarding schools in the UK.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2014 The Defense Department's fiscal year 2015 budget request seeks to balance the nation's security needs with the realities of fiscal constraints, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said here yesterday.
In a speech at Bloomberg Government's Defense Transformation Conference, Navy Adm. James A. "Sandy" Winnefeld Jr. said the changing national security environment, after-effects of $37 billion in fiscal 2013 sequestration spending cuts and the outlook for defense spending in the years to come posed myriad challenges to budget planners.
"The world has changed a lot since World War II," Winnefeld said. "The nature of warfare has changed, [and] the cost of people, ships and airplanes has gone up along with their capability -- our nation's fiscal environment has changed."
Readiness and modernization were key factors in a process that required many tough decisions on matters such as force size and the military's current weapon systems and infrastructure, the admiral said. If the balance achieved in the budget request is altered as the request makes its way to law, he warned, something more important would have to give.
"Every efficiency we need that's denied, every program cut we need that's reversed, every element of old force structure … we're required to keep will require a decrease in readiness or modernization somewhere else," he said.
Ultimately, Winnefeld said, this would mean more people could go into combat with insufficient training and outdated equipment, and fewer of them would come home. The strategy-driven budget request reflects "fundamental decisions" made in a complex and collaborative process over the last year, Winnefeld told the conference audience. "It's about the ends, ways, and means and ensuring that the enduring and resultant risk is acceptable to us as a nation," he said. The process included careful assessment of the challenges the military is likely to face in a rapidly changing world, he added.
"Over the last decade, we've been mostly focused on a single type of war, but the world has changed, and we need to restore our readiness for the full spectrum of what we might face in the future," the admiral said. "We'll continue to build innovative, operational concepts for how we'll fight, including extending what we've learned over the last 12 years of counterinsurgency into other types of fights."
Winnefeld said the U.S. military must balance its posture around the globe with a focus on permanent, pre-positional and rotational presence, as well as surge capability. "We'll also re-emphasize building partnership capacity, because we're going to be relying more on our partners in the future," he added.
Along with shifting its focus to areas that are most likely to be threatened in the future, Winnefeld said, DOD must rebalance capability, capacity and readiness of the force with fiscal reality. "Even at the president's budget level, and even though it will be painful, we're going to have to begin reducing the size of our force while restoring its readiness and modernization," he said.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's imperative to invest prudently and examine the growth of compensation also factored into the budget request, the vice chairman told the conference audience.
"Our men and women in uniform deserve the best possible support we can provide, including solid compensation, especially at a time when they've sacrificed more than [they would in] normal peacetime deployments," he said. "We've enjoyed a high rate of growth of compensation that finally corrected some of the serious deficiencies of the 1990s." But the time has come, he added, to gradually adjust compensation growth to set and sustain the right level as the nation moves off its 13-year war footing and fiscal constraints curtail overall defense spending.
Over many months of planning the budget request, DOD officials sought to produce the most appropriate package of adjustments in compensation and benefits, Winnefeld said.
"The chiefs and senior enlisted advisors of the services were fully involved and fully consulted," he noted. And he emphasized that the budget request does not call for a pay cut for service members -- it includes a 1 percent pay raise for most service members, while freezing pay at current levels for general and flag officers.
"Nobody's pay is going to decrease under this plan, and we are not forcing commissaries to close," he said.
The budget request does include a steep reduction in subsidies for commissaries, though overseas stores and those in remote locations that don't offer discount grocery shopping in the local area will continue to be subsidized. Just as military exchanges do, other commissaries would have to operate without the subsidy.
Potential changes to the retirement system loom, Winnefeld reported, but Hagel and other defense officials repeatedly have emphasized that the budget request makes no recommendations on that front. A congressionally appointed panel is examining the system and will submit its report later this year. The Defense Department's position is that any changes adopted from the panel's report should apply only to people who join the military once the changes take effect.
"Some might claim that any adjustment in the trajectory of compensation growth, even one that accounts for budget or market changes, is a violation of a promise –- something gained that can now not be changed," the vice chairman said. But the nation and its service members need a modern and ready force, he added.
"The most important way we keep faith with … the men and women who volunteer to defend our nation is to only send them into combat with the best possible training and equipment, and to take care of them when they come home," he said.
Overall, Winnefeld said, military compensation accounts for 10 percent of the savings in the proposed budget.
"These savings are gradual, they're measured and they're fair," he said. "The remaining 90 percent of the savings that we're finding comes out of the other two-thirds of our budget, which pays for modernization and readiness, as well as end-strength costs."
The budget request enables the Defense Department to execute the president's strategic guidance, defend the homeland, conduct sustained counterterrorism operations and deter aggression in multiple regions, the vice chairman said. And while a smaller force will mean less deterrent presence and a smaller margin for error in combat, he added, much of the risk will be mitigated by the two principal U.S. advantages: the all-volunteer force and the nation's ability to innovate across every discipline.
The budget request provides for $115 billion above the sequestration spending level in fiscal 2015, but unless Congress acts to stop it, sequestration will return in fiscal 2016. "Our submission adheres to the Bipartisan Budget Act, providing the programs we believe would allow us to continue executing our strategy, as well as what it would look like under sequester," Winnefeld said.
The vice chairman acknowledged that because the choices often were difficult in formulating the budget request, turmoil probably lies ahead as the final budget takes form. "Let's face it -- it's hard to cut this kind of money out of any budget and expect people to cheer you on," he said. But he emphasized that the proposal allows the military to continue fulfilling its mission.
"We believe this budget, challenging and difficult as it will be to pass and execute, will allow us to maintain the most powerful military in the world, to protect the American people, and to continue standing by our allies and our friends around the world," he said.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool could be set to reinvest £32m from the sale of Luis Suarez to sign Turkish midfielder Arda Turan from Atletico Madrid.
Manchester United and Arsenal both hold a longstanding interest in Turan, but Atletico have always insisted that the player would not be allowed to leave unless his buy-out clause was met.
That has previously prevented any of the Premier League trio making a move for Turan, but reports in Turkey suggest that Liverpool may be ready to trigger the £32m clause.
The Reds are set to pocket £75m from the sale of Suarez, and while Brendan Rodgers has moved quickly to bring in reinforcements, Turan's signing would be one of proven quality.
The 27-year-old was a crucial player in Atletico's rise to prominence last season, but Diego Simeone is aware that he will have to overhaul his squad this summer.
Diego Costa has already agreed to join Chelsea with Filipe Luis also headed for Stamford Bridge, while David Villa has moved to the MLS.
Simeone would be reluctant to lose Turan as well, but Atletico have been linked with a move for Arsenal's Santi Cazorla.
Cazorla could be prised away from the Emirates for approximately £18m, meaning that Atletico could net a £14m profit from the Turan sale to spend on other players.

President Obama promised on Monday that the White House will "not miss a beat" even though he was taken by surprise by the resignation of Chief of Staff William Daley and has had to turn to his third person in the post at the beginning of a critical election year.
To replace Daley, the president turned to another Washington veteran, Jack Lew. Lew is the current director of the White House Office of Management and Budget and previously served as a top deputy to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. He also served as an adviser to President Bill Clinton.
While it had been known that the transition from Obama's first chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, had not gone completely smoothly, the president and all his top aides expected Daley to stay in his top post through the election and some upcoming battles with Congress.
But Daley decided during a holiday break in Mexico and Chicago that now was the time to go. His decision was first reported by the Los Angeles Times. In his letter to the president, dated Jan. 3, Daley wrote, "I have been honored to be a small part of your administration. It is time for me to go back to the city I love."
"Obviously, this was not easy news to hear," the president said in the State Dining Room, flanked on each side by Daley and Lew. "And I didn't accept Bill's decision right away. In fact, I asked him to take a couple of days to make sure that he was sure about this. But in the end, the pull of the hometown we both love, a city that's been synonymous with the Daley family for generations, was too great."
He said he will "deeply miss" the 63-year-old Daley. But he said he quickly accepted Daley's recommendation of Lew as the "one clear choice" as his replacement. "I have every confidence that Jack will make sure we don't miss a beat and continue to do everything he can to secure our economy and help the middle class and keep America safe," said the president.
Daley will become one of the co-chairs of Obama's presidential campaign, an official of the campaign confirmed on Monday afternoon. Other co-chairs will be announced soon, the official said, adding that there will not be a single campaign chairman this year.
Lew will not move over to the White House until he finishes work on the budget that the president must submit to Congress next month. Obama praised his current stint at OMB, saying his work has "helped strengthen our economy and streamline the government."
He added, "Jack's advice has been invaluable, and he has my complete trust." He cited his "mastery of the numbers" and his understanding of "the values behind most numbers." Lew, he said, has fought for fairness in every job he has held going back to when he was an adviser to then-Speaker Thomas (Tip) O'Neill, D-Mass. And, noting his time at the State Department, he said "Jack also has my confidence on matters outside the borders."
He indicated he will continue to rely on advice from Daley, noting, "Chicago is only a phone call away." He recalled that on Daley's first day at the White House, he attended a meeting on the hunt for Osama bin Laden and praised him for his advice on foreign policy.
One of Daley's top assignments had been outreach to the business community, which had soured on Obama's agenda at the time Daley took over the job. It was uncertain who would take over that responsibility. In part because of that assignment, Daley's departure was not lamented by liberal groups. Adam Green, cofounder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, issued a statement on Monday declaring, "Today, Wall Street bankers lost one of their best friends in Washington."
Green was not welcoming of Lew's elevation, though, calling it "unfortunate that he is being replaced by someone who oversaw a Citigroup unit that profited off the housing collapse and financial crisis."
Lew is not known as an monarchical or autocratic figure in any way. He's more in the vein of personable chiefs of staff like Leon Panetta, the Defense secretary, who also went from OMB to the chief of staff's office. Lew is likely to need a strong enforcer, someone like Harold Ickes who filled that role under President Clinton, so it wouldn't be shocking if other aides left their positions sometime in the coming months.
Soft-spoken and with the bespectacled demeanor of an academic, Lew grew up in New York City, the son of a Polish-Jewish refugee, and went to public schools before attending Harvard University and Georgetown Law School. He was in private practice but made his name in any number of Democratic policy positions including deputy secretary of State, where he was essentially the manager of the entire department while Clinton concentrated on diplomacy.
Congressional Democrats applauded Lew's appointment. As for Daley – with whom lawmakers have had tense relations at times – their remarks were polite. Those tensions had surfaced during last summer's debt-ceiling talks, when House Democrats let it be known they felt left out of the loop in congressional negotiations with the White House. They had previously complained the White House had ignored them in late 2010 during talks on extending the Bush-era tax cuts.
But in a statement on Monday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., described Daley's tenure at the White House as "marked by his commitment to President Obama's agenda and his strong leadership during a year of unnecessary crises created by Congressional Republicans."
In congratulating Lew, Pelosi called him "a proven leader with extensive House experience, an expert on our nation's toughest economic challenges, a strong voice in addressing our nation's budget deficit, and a dedicated public servant with a long record of achievement inside and outside of government."
Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said in a statement that Obama's appointment of Lew – given his knowledge and involvement in tackling budget issues – reflects the president's commitment to fiscal responsibility, and, "I look forward to working with him as we move forward."
Hoyer added that "all who have worked with Bill Daley over the past year know he has been an astute adviser to the president," and wished him well on his return to Chicago.
As for replacements for Lew, former OMB official and Wall Street veteran Josh Gotbaum and economic adviser Gene Sperling already have been mentioned by Democrats.

Chef's Choice: Lisa Slay, Remy's Kitchen & Wine Bar
Categories: Chef's Choice, In the Kitchen
|Robin Wheeler
|Lisa Slay, Executive Chef of Remy's Kitchen & Wine Bar
Her career began at age twelve, working for her father at Slay's Restaurant on weekends and gradually learning to cook. After half a semester at Southeast Missouri State University on a basketball scholarship, Slay decided school wasn't for her. She returned home months before her father's untimely death. She stayed close to home to be near her mother during this difficult time and worked for her brother, David.
While working with her brother, she forged a working relationship with his bar manager, Tim Mallett. When David Slay moved to California in 1988 and Mallett took over his restaurant space, Lisa stayed on to decide what she wanted to do next. She never left. In 1995, Mallett opened Remy's, giving Slay the opportunity to expand her vision.
"When we opened Remy's, [Mallett] said, 'What do you want to do? Do whatever you're comfortable with,'" Slay explains. "With Remy's I got to design the kitchen, order all the china. I'd opened restaurants with my brother, but Remy's is like my baby.
"Tim and I really clicked early on. He knew a lot about business, and I knew how to cook, so we made a good pair. For the longest time I couldn't imagine doing all of it because the kitchen is so much. It's constant. Even if you have a slow night, you're still busy. I gave him the respect he deserved, and he gave me the respect I deserved, and he pretty much let me do what I wanted."

FYI Doc......a constitutional amendment bypasses the Governor and goes straight to the ballot. Not only did Bob Riley NOT sign the bill he could NOT have vetoed it either.
Just wait until the EPA mandates we use a 15% ethanol blend instead of 10%. Cars older than 2007 might not be able to use the fuel and anything 2000 or older absolutely will not be able to use the fuel. So, the deal is to pander to the corn lobby (notice corn prices just went up this week) and the enviros. Look for the EPA announcement this week. I do not want to have to buy a new car. The Congress will also attempt to shield anyone from being sued for damage to vehicles that should not be using the E-15.

Paul is a sincere man. However, there are only a very few of the "800" lobbyists in Montgomery that could ever provide any lawmaker with $249 worth of entertainment in a 24 hour period. Most (99.8% percent) of the lobbyists just don't have that kind of money.
If Hoover does not give the Baron's a short term lease where will they go, what will they do? Will they use the baseball diamond at one of the Birmingham City Schools?
It would appear to me that Hoover has a very strong negotiating position.
Hopefully, this will not create a war between Hoover and Birmingham.
..masspike...these are contributions under state law. The US Supreme Court has nothing to do with it.
tcarl....the city occupational tax is a totally different animal from the county business license tax applied to individuals.
This amendment is a SHAM! It would be like building a swimming pool 200 feet long and 100 fee wide, but only 6 inches deep! You can get a lot of folks in the pool and they can all get their feet wet, but no one can really swim. This will be the case with diluting the money taken from the trust fund and spreading it so thin across the state. The amount of money allocated to each city or county would not even pay for the new signs needed for a project you don't have the money to fund in the first place.
A question ain't a question if you know the answer to.
I hope the injured children recover. Every day in our Hoover neighborhood I see golf carts, 4 wheelers and dirt bikes (not a one of them street legal) zooming around. They run stop signs and turn in front of traffic. No helmets, shoes or even protective clothing. I have called the Hoover PD on many occasions. It does not stop. Hopefully, our city leaders will wake up and do something. Many of the children don't have a good example as I also see adults doing the same thing. I do try to stop the children and ask them to get out of the streets and to point out the stop signs they run. They ignore the warnings.
GREAT NEWS! about Honda support for the Alabama INDY race at Barber!
Interesting...Simmons Sporting Goods in Bessemer just recently doubled the size of their business. The only Obama stimulus has been the sale of weapons and ammunition!
Why in the world did they have to bust the door in? The poor guy that owns the rental property will never get the government to pay him back for the damage.
Bentley may have loaned his campaign a lot of money, but he mortgaged his house and borrowed from his retirement to do it. He is not a rich doctor, just someone who is concerned enough about the future of this state that he is willing to put his personal finances into play.
Yes, the public needs to know about Mac's friend Saul D. Alinsky!
I am sure the three members who voted to extend the contract would like to know why the five who voted against the contract did so!

Law enforcement has stepped up its presence on Interstate 26 because of a local legislator's concerns about public safety,
"I never expected such a fast, prompt response. I've been getting calls from people thanking me for requesting that," said State Rep. Wendell Gilliard, D-Charleston.
Gilliard said Thursday that he wants state Department of Transportation traffic cameras to be outfitted to record activity on I-26. He plans to meet with the DOT and the state Department of Public Safety to pursue the issue.
Gilliard asked for increased patrols and surveillance on I-26 in North Charleston because of speeding and people getting shot while driving on the highway. He said speeders are often teenagers acting out behavior they see in movies and music videos.
"It's like a fad to the young people," he said.
As a result of Gilliard's concerns, North Charleston police and the S.C. Highway Patrol are coordinating speed enforcement from Exit 203 east to Exit 216.
Safety checkpoints on the eastbound entrance ramp to I-26 at Ashley Phosphate Road are being conducted by North Charleston police, the Highway Patrol and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office.
Seat belt enforcement on Ashley Phosphate and Stall roads has increased police presence near nightclubs generating some of the problems on I-26, DPS Director Leroy Smith said in a March 13 letter to Gilliard.
The Highway Patrol has increased its presence on I-26 between 2 and 5 a.m. in the area of Ashley Phosphate Road and I-26 as a deterrent to criminal activity, particularly driving under the influence, Smith said.
Since June 2011, eight incidents involving gunfire on I-26 have occurred from near Montague Avenue to U.S. Highway 78. The shootings killed two people and left five wounded. Police have arrested one shooting suspect and have possible suspects in two other shootings, but the remainder are unsolved, police said.
Police do not think the shootings are random.
