DID SADDAM HUSSEIN offer asylum to Osama bin Laden and Mullah Mohammed Omar? The answer, at least according to a report last week in Ummat, an Urdu-language newspaper in Karachi, Pakistan, is yes. The paper claims that a senior Iraqi diplomat, Taha Husseyn, met in Kandahar with the Taliban's Mavlana Jalal ud-Din Haqqani. Saddam allegedly offered not only sanctuary, but military and financial support as well.
It's difficult to assess the credibility of such reports (the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and other mainstream papers have used Ummat reporting in the past few months). And the timing of the supposed offer, first reported on November 22, would seem to make it at least curious if not absurd. After all, it's hard to imagine bin Laden or Omar escaping Afghanistan with the increased U.S. presence there. And why, skeptics might ask, would Saddam essentially invite the war to Iraq?
It's a good question, but there is at least one possible answer.
Saddam views U.S.-led attacks as inevitable. In recent weeks he has been shuffling his top leadership, rearranging his defenses, and preparing a line of succession. His rhetoric--on everything from the U.S. war on terrorism, to weapons inspections, to the U.N.'s new "smart sanctions"--has been defiant, almost provocative. With his back against the wall, Saddam could be seeking an alliance with bin Laden to rally radical Islamists to his defense.
Implausible? Maybe. But it's a scenario with historical precedent.
On December 16, 1998, the United States and Britain began four days of sustained bombing in Iraq--the Desert Fox campaign. The bombing came in response to Saddam's continued defiance of U.N. weapons inspections. The weapons inspectors had withdrawn after months--years, really--of Saddam's thwarting their efforts to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. They left unable to account for significant pockets of Saddam's weapons capability, particularly in his bio-weapons program. The bombing began shortly thereafter.
On December 21, Saddam dispatched Faruq Hijazi--the man who met with Mohamed Atta last year in Prague, is former head of Iraqi secret service, and was then-Ambassador to Turkey--to Afghanistan to offer bin Laden asylum. There had been previous contacts between representatives of bin Laden and Hussein, but this meeting carried special import because Hijazi was, according to Rome's daily newspaper Corriere della Sera (the paper which broke the story), "the person who has been responsible for nurturing Iraq's ties with the fundamentalist warriors since 1994." (Translation courtesy the Iraq Report.)
Media reports in late 1998 brimmed with speculation about a bin Laden-Hussein alliance.
Newsweek magazine, in its January 11, 1999 issue, ran a long article headlined: "Saddam + Bin Laden?" The story quoted an "Arab intelligence source" with knowledge of Saddam's plan. "According to this source, Saddam expected last month's American and British bombing campaign to go on much longer than it did. The dictator believed that as the attacks continued, indignation would grow in the Muslim world, making his terrorism offensive both harder to trace and more effective. With acts of terror contributing to chaos in the region, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait might feel less inclined to support Washington. Saddam's long-term strategy, according to several sources, is to bully or cajole Muslim countries into breaking the embargo against Iraq, without waiting for the United Nations to lift it formally."
Around the same time, Time magazine carried an interview with bin Laden in which the terrorist warned that he would "target any American who pays taxes to his government." And bin Laden was also asked about the bombing of Iraq, just weeks earlier: "There is no doubt that the treacherous attack has confirmed that Britain and America are acting on behalf of Israel and the Jews, paving the way for the Jews to divide the Muslim world once again, enslave it and loot the rest of its wealth. A great part of the force that carried out the attack came from certain Gulf countries that have lost their sovereignty."
Maybe the Ummat report isn't credible; maybe it's just some highly improbable conspiracy theory. If I were Saddam Hussein, I wouldn't be courting Osama bin Laden right now.
But then, I'm not Saddam Hussein. And after September 11, highly improbable conspiracies aren't quite as easily dismissed.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- A special team of Tennessee Army National Guardsmen who specialize in agricultural business has left for Afghanistan.
The Agri-business Development Team left Smyrna on Sunday for training at Camp Atterbury, Ind., before heading to Afghanistan for a yearlong deployment.
Under the command of Col. James Moore, the soldiers will be teaching basic farming techniques such as planting and harvesting wheat, planting corn in rows and using trellises to grow tomatoes and grapes.
They will also be working to improve irrigation and crop storage facilities.

City Circus AthensAthens, Greece
one of the best hostels I've been to. the facilities are super comprehensive and they had incredible attention to detail. the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly (and very good looking ahah); breakfast is generous and the location couldn't be better.
Abbey HostelGenoa, Italy
awesome hostel, super clean and well managed. also very good location
B&B DolceCasaVerona, Italy
awesome place, with all you can possibly want. only downside is that it's hard to reach with public transportation.
Hostel Meyerbeer BeachNice, France
I was quite happy about the structure of the place; but on the very first night, someone broke in my room in the middle of the night and stole my phone and 2 others in the room. The manager claims it's not their fault. While it's true that criminals exist nonetheless, the hostel has a really poor security policy: a password to enter the building (that any criminal can observe a guest typing), no staff is there at night, and each room has an old school key, that can be copied easily.
Room007 Chueca HostelMadrid, Spain
the facilities are simply amazing, the building is really cool and the rooms are nicely decorated and spacious, specially on level 5. people are super friendly and the tours are a must do. I made lots of friends there. downside: is that the Internet didn't work at all during my whole stay, they just have one public computer, one of our toilets light didn't work at all so we could only use during the day.
Lagos Shared RoomsLagos, Portugal
Cosimo is the best host I ever had. the retired and decided to open the place just for the fun of it, not so much to earn money (that's why the price is so low); he also lives there, so he makes sure the place is real cosy and functional: from the Internet working well, to nice showers, plenty of drinks, etc; among other things: he for sure goes well beyond anybody would expect of him. the only (minor) downside is that he tends to engage in long rantings; but that comes with the territory.
Generator Hostel DublinDublin, Ireland
The facilities great and the location is pretty good... but remember the place is a party hostel, downstairs they have bar where they play music quite loudly until late. If that's what you are looking for, this is a great place, otherwise, it's hard to have a good night sleep. was only disappointed with the lack of proper lockers for your valuables. They only have lockers under the bed, that seem easy to get into. But overall, the place is pretty good
Astor Hyde ParkLondon, England
Awesome place. There you have the option to party hard or just relax. The facilities are clean and efficient. And there is a bike rent rack a few meters away, so I could easily come and go.

Run-DMC: Jam Master Jay, Run, DMC.
Sure, other rap artists came before them, but Run-D.M.C. were rap's first superstars -- one of the first rap acts to not suffer from the "one-hit wonder syndrome." As a result, numerous compilations of the group have been issued over the years, but none are as comprehensive as the 2003 double-disc Ultimate Run DMC, which packs one disc of hits and one DVD of their most popular videos. Just about every single Run-D.M.C. favorite you can think of is included here, including early classics of rock-based rap ("Rock Box," "King of Rock") and hits that made the group a worldwide sensation ("Walk This Way," "It's Tricky," "My Adidas"), as well as a few latter-day favorites ("Down With the King," the Jason Nevins version of "It's Like That"). If you're looking for a Run-D.M.C. collection that compiles all the hits neatly on a single disc, with an extra added bonus, then Ultimate is a must-have. Undoubtedly the best Run-D.M.C. collection out there. ~ Greg Prato

Do you like to relax and cool down on a hot summer day in the gazebo canopy in your backyard? We have different gazebo canopies for all seasons. The gazebo canopies made with fabric are nice for summer, spring, winter or fall. You can choose the fixed gazebo canopies or the instant folding gazebos. The instant ones are great for the beach, where you want to have an instant set up. No matter when in the year, you will always love to have one of these gazebo canopies!
Things One Needs To Look For When Shopping For Gazebo Canopies
While you can see that there are different sizes of canopies that are available, but the most common one is the 10 x 10. In addition to the common features that are included, you also have few other features in these canopies. These canopies have a heavy galvanized frame made of steel, and a fabric that is scotch-guarded for durability. Of course, one can choose from the different colors of canopies available here, and all of these come with weather resistant fabric. However, when you choose the 10 x 10 size canopy, the sides adjust only to 6 feet and 6 inches high. So, if you are in need of a larger space, you have to buy the larger canopies. Otherwise, 10 x 10 size canopy can provide the right amount of space to feel comfortable and roomy. In addition to this, one can choose between the open and the screened one. So, if you live in an area that is prone to insects and bugs, you can get the screened one and stay protected. However, if you are working in an area that is free of pests, then choose to buy the canopy that is open on all sides.
The other nice feature that can be seen in these canopies is that they can be set up at any place with ease. You don?t have to use any tools to get this assembly done. All that you need to do is simply pull out the poles, and attach it with the canopy. This should be done before the foot pads are placed, and these pads can be found at the bottom of the poles. Of course, not all the canopies come with tarps or rain flies. If you need it, you should carry it along when setting up the canopy at a place where it is going to rain. You can find a lot of cheap canopies at the sports store or camping store, but it may not hold good when the weather condition is bad. But, using the stronger ones is always better, and you can rent it or buy it from a party supply outlet or store. When making your final decision, always watch out whether the canopy can stand against bad weather. Consider all the risks involved, and check out whether you will be needing an industrial canopy that is strong enough, or a basic one.
Whether you?re looking for a strong industrial canopy or cheap gazebo canopy, it is easy to find both. On the other hand, if you want a professional gazebo canopy, then you can choose to rent or buy it from a party supply outlet shop or store. In other case, if you need a cover on top to give you shade in the hot sun, then go for the cheaper ones that are available in the sporting goods store or local camping store.

Wow, this looks amazing!

Wow. That looks very smooth and the dynamic is great.
Great lighting! Was it hard to get down there?
Antelope Canyon is really overrun by tourists. The tour guides give you a max of 3 minutes for a picture, and it was really a pain trying to do take pictures of good quality and actually seeing the canyon. but I think I managed
It's a shame about the tourists and the time limit. I wonder if there's an off-season where things are slower; it looks like somewhere I'd like to take my time walking through.
beautiful picture!
Epic shot!!
Wow looks amazing, almost like a painting from a sci-fi planet xD
Wow, that looks really awesome! Great shot!

Naruto Uzumaki Sage Mode Cubee Finished by rubenimus21Watch
©2012-2016 rubenimus21
Unlike Jiraiya, Naruto is able to perfectly balance the natural energy with his own chakra. This allows him to use the true Sage Mode, which retains all of his normal physical characteristics except for toad-like eyes: yellow irides, horizontal bar-like pupils, and reddish-orange pigmentation around the eyes; the mark of a true sage on each eye. A true sage would still suffer from the weaknesses of Sage Mode, requiring that they use Sage Art: Amphibian Technique in a battle situation. Because of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within Naruto, however, Fukasaku was rejected whenever he tried to fuse with him.

text:
On October 11, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke--and it became clear just how bad things are. Interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle's Debra Saunders, Rice praised the U.N. Security Council for "a good year":
In the month of July it got a resolution on Iran and a resolution on the North Korean missile test. It's about to get a resolution on the North Korean nuclear test. It ended a war in Lebanon, not without a lot of American involvement in actually putting together the cease-fire. But the international community has put together a resolution on Darfur to get troops into Darfur. So we're doing better in the Security Council.
So we are. But we're not doing better in the real world. Each of these resolutions (except possibly Lebanon) has been ineffectual. None has stopped bad behavior or punished the guilty. North Korea is crossing "red lines" with virtual impunity. Iran's nuclear program is chugging ahead. Hezbollah retains its arms. Sudan is committing genocide. All the activity in the Security Council can't mask our weakness. And the rogue states aren't fooled. It's been a "good year"--except we're losing and dangers are increasing.
Later that day, Rumsfeld spoke at the Pentagon:
Tomorrow will mark the sixth anniversary of a terrorist attack that killed 17 U.S. sailors aboard the USS Cole. That attack, which was really less than a year before the September 11, 2001, attacks, was a fresh demonstration to the world of the dangers that are posed by violent extremists. Those dangers would be amplified geometrically should terrorists be able to obtain weapons of mass destruction.
In recent days, the world's been concerned as North Korea announced a test of its nuclear capability, having previously announced that they had nuclear weapons. And we've also seen Iran continue with its nuclear program over the objections of much of the international community. Seeing Iran and North Korea on a path towards nuclear weapons brings up several issues of concern.
First, those nations are known proliferators. They've proliferated to other nation-states as well as to non-nation entities. We recently saw an example of the latter in the case of Iran supplying Hezbollah.
Second, their programs point to increasing risks of lethal weapons possibly ending up in the hands of non-state entities, folks that, unlike a nation, tend not to be deterred the way a nation-state would because they don't have to worry about protecting real estate, population, and leadership.
Another concern is that as a result of these trends, it's possible at least that some other nations in the world might decide that they can no longer avoid developing their own nuclear weapons. If this trend continues, there would be an increase in the number of countries with nuclear weapons, not just Iran and Korea, but possibly others. The nuclear threshold as a result would be lower in the years ahead.
Rumsfeld is gloomier than Rice. His is a somber picture. But on the sixth anniversary of the attack on the USS Cole, what are we doing about these threats and trends? Here is the rest of Rumsfeld's statement:
Now, none of those outcomes are in the interests of the international community. I mention that because obviously it points out the critical importance of cooperation among the international community. The task is to marshal sufficient leverage so that Iran and North Korea and other countries can be dissuaded from their current course.
Clearly, it's a problem that no one country is able to deal with alone. Like counternarcotics, proliferation--it requires the cooperation of a great many countries, and this, of course, is the path that President Bush is on. It's the right course, and the task is to marshal that support from the international community.
So the lesson Rumsfeld takes from the USS Cole, and all that's happened since, is this: We're dependent on "the inter national community," and we need to cooperate with others.
The difference between the Bush administration and its Democratic critics now amounts to six-party talks or two-party talks with North Korea--as if talking would stop Kim Jong Il. It turns on direct or indirect negotiations with Ahmadinejad--as if he were willing to negotiate away his nuclear program. With the exception of Bush's commendable steadfastness in Iraq--combined, how ever, with debilitating stubbornness on troop levels and strategy--and his support for Israel, Bush's foreign policy is now Clintonian in its combination of weakness and wishful thinking. The result in the 1990s was fecklessness and failure in Rwanda and Afghanistan and North Korea and the Middle East. The price will be even greater today.
Bush has two more years. Whatever happens in November's elections, the country cannot afford his all-U.N.-all-the-time defensive crouch. It is not too late to increase the size of the military; to work with Japan, rather than kowtowing to China, on North Korea; to institute an interdiction regime around that country; to act with a coalition of the willing to bomb airfields and aircraft assisting genocide in Sudan; to help the democrats in and near Russia; to insist on real sanctions and pressure on Iran, backed by the threat of force; and generally to stop huffing and puffing about what is unacceptable and intolerable--only to then accept the unacceptable and tolerate the intolerable. But it is getting late.
--William Kristol

Niger extradites Gaddafi's son Saadi to Libya
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Muammar Gaddafi's son Saadi, his special forces commander who fled abroad during Libya's 2011 revolution, was imprisoned in Tripoli on Thursday after Niger agreed to send him back from house arrest there.
Saadi, who had a brief career as soccer player in Italy and often lived the playboy life during his father's rule, is the first of Gaddafi's sons the central government has managed to arrest since the former dictator was overthrown.
North Korean-flagged tanker tries docking at seized Libyan oil port
TRIPOLI/LONDON (Reuters) – A North Korean-flagged oil tanker tried to dock at Libya's Es-Sider oil port seized by armed protesters who have threatened to sell oil independently unless they get political autonomy from Tripoli, Libyan officials said on Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear whether the Morning Glory tanker wanted to load oil when it approached the port on Tuesday, but any attempt to get crude to world markets independently would be an escalation of a blockade that has slashed Libya's vital oil exports.
Power struggle disrupts oil port in Libya's far east

years after Muammar Gaddafi's demise.

Rockets rain on Libyan power plant as militias battle
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – More than 100 rockets fired in clashes between rival government-paid militia have knocked out a power plant in southern Libya, heightening the risk of summer blackouts, the electricity minister said on Tuesday.
"This is the chaos Libya lives in," the visibly-annoyed minister, Ali Mohammed Muhairiq, told a televised news conference. "The plant was hit by dozens of rockets, by 120 rockets. I don't know whether we will be able to repair it before summer and Ramadan."
Libyan militias hit power plant with rockets, blackouts possible
TRIPOLI, Feb 25 (Reuters) – More than 100 rockets fired by
government-payrolled rival gunmen rained down on a Libyan power
plant and electrical blackouts could result this summer, the
country's electricity minister said on Tuesday.

Libya puts ministries under special budget rules after oil revenue slump
TRIPOLI, Feb 24 (Reuters) – Libya has put some government
departments under special spending rules as a slump in oil
revenue has hampered drafting a budget for this year, officials
and experts said, highlighting the dire situation of its public
A wave of protests at oilfields and ports have knocked oil
production down to 230,000 barrels per day (bpd) from 1.4
million bpd in summer, which has hit public finances as oil
exports are the sole foreign currency earner.
Libya struggles to pay bills as protests slash oil revenues
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Some Libyan government ministries are struggling to cover expenditures because of budget problems, a minister said on Sunday after protesters shut down another vital oilfield in the OPEC producer.
In the latest sign of turmoil gripping Libya since Muammar Gaddafi's ouster in 2011, heavy shooting near the General National Congress (GNC) building interrupted a national parliament session and forced legislators to evacuate.
Libya warns of budget problems as protests slash oil revenues
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Some Libyan government ministries are struggling to cover expenditures because of budget problems, a minister said on Sunday after protesters shut down another vital oilfield.
Militias and armed protesters who helped topple Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 have seized ports and oilfields over the last seven months to press demands on the central government. Oil and gas exports are the sole source of the government budget and to fund food imports.
Seeking cheap stocks, chaos no problem? Try Libya
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Investing in Libyan stocks may sound like an absurd idea at a time when the North African country is descending into chaos and armed militias seize oil ports or ministries at will.
Ever since the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya's government has been struggling to establish law and order and assert control over a vast desert nation awash with arms.

Billions in Tax Refund Fraud--and How to Stop Most of it
By Len Burman :: May 29th, 2012
The Treasury may be losing as much as $5 billion a year from fraudulent tax refund claims—and most of that fraud is entirely preventable. The New York Times reportedyesterday about the rampant use of identity theft to exploit weaknesses in the IRS's tax refund processes, sometimes resulting in thousands of fraudulent refunds.

Five Challenges for the IRS's New Capital Gains Reporting Rules

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
American Record Guide, November/December 2014
Both of these trios were composed before Beethoven's more significant Op. 9 set of string trios and well before his first set of quartets. According to the notes, assessments of this program's works range from dismissive to awestruck. My response is somewhere in between. Zimmerman's is appropriately romantic and fine in all other respects.
It has been claimed that Beethoven's three String Trios, op. 9, and Mozart's Divertimento, form the pinnacle of their genre, destined to be almost supplanted by the string quartet. These two works, Beethoven's first trio attempts, are, however, exceptionally fertile examples of the suite form and are far from 'old-fashioned'. This music needs a first-class chamber ensemble to be fully realized; the Trio Zimmermann is that ensemble.
Gramophone Magazine, August 2014
Trio Zimmermann are big on heart and technique but low on ego, which makes for superbly natural-sounding performances. Something as simple as the Andante of the Op 3 Trio becomes a great conversation piece in their hands...Add to that BIS's exemplary recording and you have a winner of a disc.
BBC Music Magazine, September 2014
The nervous energy and lightning-quick changes of mood of the opening movement in the Op. 3 Trio are brilliantly conveyed...these are supremely polished accounts, and they make an altogether worthy companion disc to the same artists' award-winning recording of the Op. 9 series.

New lower price for Axon II ($78) and Axon Mote ($58).
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I have a Hitec HS422 servo with 2 Sharp sensors and a sensor-mounting bracket on top of it.I was wondering how much time it takes for the servo to travel 2°. And howmuch time it takes to travel 4°...The specs say:"- Speed (sec/60o): 0.16"So that's 60° travel in 0.16seconds. Does that mean that the time it takes to travel 2° is 0.16/30=5.3msOr is this not correct?
Won't mass have some kind of effect? Ie if the servo is stationary then it could take longer to move the first two degrees than the second two degrees?

Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology
Volume 11, Number 2, June 2004
pp. 175-186 | 10.1353/ppp.2004.0054
As is widely known, the last twenty-five years have seen an acceleration in the development of theories of emotion. Perhaps less well-known is that the last three years have seen an extended defense of a predominant, although not universally accepted, framework for the understanding of emotion in philosophy and psychology. The central claim of this framework is that emotions are a form of evaluative response to their intentional objects, centrally involving cognition or something akin to cognition, in which the evaluation of the object relates to the concerns, interests, or well-being of the subject. I aim to summarize and review the work of five authors on three of the central themes of this framework, and to note some implications for the understanding of emotion in different psychotherapeutic approaches.

Haha awesome! Let the invasions begin! :D
Our goal is to refine and expand on the DICE game BF2, and to improve aspects of combat, both infantry and vehicle, so that it is more fast paced and overall exciting.
Haha awesome! Let the invasions begin! :D
Cool. I love that gun at the top of the vehicle, in my opinion much cooler than the other minigun with explosive rounds
I actually loved the mini-gun but it was too buggy so I put this one instead.
ok. I just prefer this one because we have to aim, so the feeling of shooting someone is better
Hehe, thanks for accepting my idea for more seats :D...
Awsome humvee btw. But I don't really think that blue camouflage blends in with this map... o_o
I agree it's a nice camo and all but i think for an urban envoirment grey,black would suit better, Then again thats what i think.
Now what I need is an rpg heheheh
May I ask why are the soilder's Uniform blue? I would like to know (please, this isn't sarcasm)
haha is more fun to drive with humvee now! gangsta

So my DH has suggested that we make more vegetarian meals because he feels better when he hasn't consumed a ton of meat.Ā I am all for it because I know we could use more vegetables in our diet and it is also much more affordable.Ā
Here is the catch.Ā The man doesn't like that many vegetables!Ā As far as cooked vegetables I have seen him eat bell peppers, potatoes and corn.Ā When he makes a salad he uses lettuce (obviously), bell peppers, shredded carrots and cucumbers.Ā He will eat tomatoes if their flavor is unnoticeable in the recipe.
I realize there are other components to vegetarian meals outside of vegetables.Ā There is no issue with using eggs, rice or beans as a substitute for the meat.Ā (Although DH will not eat black beans).Ā
So does anyone have any suggestions? Any tastyĀrecipes you could share with me?Ā Please, if there are any vegetarian cooks on here, could you please educate me, because I am pretty clueless.Ā TIA!

A World of Gardens in Cape Town
By ROSE MOSS
Published: January 9, 2000
SOME people travel to Cape Town to see Kirstenbosch, one of the great gardens of the world; some to see the spectacular scenery; some to feast among vineyards, orchards, wheat farms and fishing villages; some to bask in the sun during the northern winter; some to witness South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy, and some for all these reasons.
Those who travel to Kirstenbosch know it as a treasury of unique flora, birds and history. I went during the off-season, on a family visit in June. On a crisp morning, I followed Rhodes Drive, where views of the harbor yield to vistas of distant mountains and the inland suburbs that enclose Kirstenbosch's thousand-plus acres of planted beds and conservation land. The most famous plant here may be the softly dazzling silver tree (leucadendron argenteum), native only to the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Seeing one on a sunny lawn, I touched its leaves to test this vision of solid light. Firm as eucalyptus and pelted with fine hairs, it felt organic not mythic, but when I stepped away, the luminous tree seemed all halo again.
Botanists consider the area around Cape Town one of the world's six floral kingdoms -- and the richest in plant diversity, with some 8,500 species belonging to the South African, or Capensic, Kingdom. They compare this small area of the Cape peninsula to vast regions like much of North America, Europe and Asia.
For more than 20 years Kirstenbosch has taken the Gold Medal for indigenous floral display at London's prestigious Chelsea Flower Show, and on this visit, I passed a flock of its prize-winning Mandela's Gold, all-yellow birds of paradise, a strelitzia developed here. I found them near beds prepared for brilliant daisies and silky succulents (mainly mesembryanthemums). These beds trumpet color in August and September, the South African spring, in concert with the wildflowers that carpet the Cape from horizon to horizon. The poet Louise Bogan once asked, ''If there is no God, why isn't the universe dark brown?'' The Cape's sweeps of yellow, crimson, pink, magenta and orange suggest a deity drunk with spring fever. Even during my winter visit, the garden had color.
My favorite succulent was a finger of green (fenestraria aurantiaca) in the conservatory for plants of arid regions. It hides in the earth, showing only a tip of translucent cells, to protect the rest of the plant from the burning heat of the sun.
I sauntered up a brick walk to glimpse the huge range of the parent species of window-box geraniums. Virtually all pelargoniums come from South Africa, as do a large number of the other plants known to American gardeners. On the Pelargonium Koppie (little rocky knoll) some bloomed familiar scarlet, and here and there I sniffed a scented leaf.
Nearby, an herb garden displayed plants used for flavoring, healing and perfume, and, a few steps farther, a path curved through the Fragrance Garden with raised beds for touching and more sniffing. A party of children on a field trip passed me on the Braille Trail, where we explored textures of bark, leaf and the reedlike restios unique to the Capensic Kingdom. At the end of the trail, a bench suggested rest and a pause to listen to birdsong -- some rarely heard anywhere.
On other visits I have followed trails up Table Mountain. This time, I wandered to a spring in the Dell, where clear water collects in a bath surrounded by giant cycads, almost unchanged from prehistoric times, and flows singing and whispering down a stony bed. Historians now debunk the belief that Lady Anne Barnard, whose husband was the colonial secretary to the Governor of the Cape in the late 1700's, had this bath created -- she left Cape Town before it was constructed. But, when I passed lovers seeking seclusion, I saw that the spring needs no heightened romance.
Out of shade, climbing a sandstone path, I found myself among protea (the national flower of South Africa), erica and other fynbos, the network of fine-leafed bushy plants that have evolved to thrive in poor soil, drought, wind and fire. Some need smoke (but not heat) to trigger germination.
Soon, I came to the famous hedge of wild almond (brabejum stellatifolium) planted in 1660 by the first Dutch governor of the Cape, Jan van Riebeeck. He hoped to seal off this land, his own estate, from indigenous people who did not accept his European entitlement and ownership. Now, some read the hedge as a precursor of apartheid's thorny barriers.
Farther down, on spacious lawns, I saw families enjoying picnics near open ponds, contemplating sculptures from Zimbabwe, and strolling past beds strategically placed near the restaurant to demonstrate water-wise gardening.
I walked through an avenue of camphor trees planted in 1898 by Cecil Rhodes, the British-born magnate and empire builder, who was the last private owner of Kirstenbosch. I admired white plectranthus, and clivia, crinum and amaryllis, which give color throughout the year. Thousands of bulbs bloom in the species-rich Western Cape. Last on my itinerary was the elegant conservatory designed to spiral around a baobab tree.
Sometime I hope to return -- especially if it can be on a South African summer evening when, I am told, thousands of glowworms light this majestic sanctuary.

This conference seeks to capitalize on the urgency of the crisis. It will focus on steps that can and should be taken in the immediate future to address both supply- and demand-side aspects of Pakistan's energy conundrum. It will also propose actionable recommendations for Pakistani policymakers. Additionally, it will address implementation hurdles and how to overcome them.
Learn more about the participents and speakers here. This conference has been made possible through the generosity of the Fellowship Fund for Pakistan.

Obama's executive order stated: "Under the Act, longstanding Federal laws to protect conscience ... remain intact and new protections prohibit discrimination against health care facilities and health care providers because of an unwillingness to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions."
Obama, of course, did not tell the truth at Notre Dame. He did not tell the truth to Bart Stupak. He did not tell the truth in his executive order.
Notre Dame makes this quite clearly in its court filing.
"In stark contrast with the agreement essential to passage of the Affordable Care Act and President Obama's promise to protect religious liberty, the HHS's new guidelines required insurers and group health plans to cover 'all Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity,'" says the university's complaint.
"FDA-approved contraceptives that qualify under these guidelines include drugs that induce abortions," says Notre Dame. "For example, the FDA has approved 'emergency contraceptives' such as the morning-after pill (otherwise known as Plan B), which operates by preventing a fertilized embryo from implanting in the womb, and Ulipristal (otherwise known as HRP 2000 or Ella), which likewise can induce abortions of living embryos."
Not only did Obama fail to protect the consciences of American Catholics and Catholic institutions, including Notre Dame, he directly attacked their freedom of conscience through a regulation that requires virtually all Catholic lay people to buy, and virtually all Catholic institutions to provide, health-insurance plans that cover, without any fees or co-pay, multiple practices that violate the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.
Notre Dame states this, too, repeatedly -- and with force -- in its complaint against the Obama administration.
"All of the required 'contraceptive methods' and 'sterilization procedures' violate Notre Dame's well-established and sincerely held religious beliefs that prohibit contraception and sterilization to inhibit procreation," says Notre Dame.
"Notre Dame cannot, without violating its sincerely held religious beliefs, subsidize, facilitate, and/or sponsor coverage for abortifacients, sterilization services, contraceptives and related counseling services, which are inconsistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church," says the university.
"This unprecedented, direct assault on the religious beliefs of Notre Dame and all Catholics is irreconcilable with American law," says Notre Dame.
Three years ago, when Obama spoke at Notre Dame, I optimistically wrote that a rising generation of Americans may see Notre Dame's greatest comeback -- not on an athletic field but in a conflict over fundamental questions of morality on which the Catholic Church takes an inalterable stand.
Well, the Fighting Irish just ran the first play in their comeback drive. It was nothing fancy -- just a crashing blow through the right side of the line, the sort of smash-mouth play a strong and confident team can run for first down after first down until they push across the opponent's goal line.
Americans who love our Constitution and individual liberty should send a volley cheer on high and shake down the thunder from the sky.

The Democrats have spent three times that amount, but it was taxpayer money so it doesn't count.

Not anyone can just close a bridge. Normal people don't just go around closing bridges. CC order that bridge closing, simple as that but sadly those close to him had to take the blame and loose their job because of his ass. He closed that bridge, ordered that bridge closing,.
This is chicken feed compared with what Christie will spend to defend himself after he's indicted on multiple counts of corruption, theft, and stealing food from the office refrigerator.

Thursday and Friday night stay.
Nothing in my review takes anything away from the friendly staff here.
Lack of night porter and just a phone number too ring if there is a problem is an accident waiting too happen. As it was I had a couple in room next too me with a TV on loud until 1.30am which I would like too have been dealt with by a night porter. Did not help when TV's are built into walls. Walls are thin too. Noise from outside too is a problem. All the noises associated with a train station and loud drunks. Friday night also had an added accompaniment of a band playing somewhere which must have been behind the hotel but I could not pin point it at all. The background booming was grating after a while. Every time I tried too enter the hotel it seemed I was being hassled by beggars off the street. Due too the door in the day being wedged open this was a worry too. Cameras in hotel or not they are Not going too stop anyone coming in. No desk clerk too stop them. Its a shame as its nice enough inside. Restaurant area homely but also a restaurant atmosphere. But Altogether a restless time.

Lovely Hotel
My friends and I stayed just for the night.
The location was perfect, right next to the station. The room I had was massive. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were helpful.
The only strange thing was the lights in the bathroom. They are sensor lights, but unfortunately they turn off it you aren't moving underneath them, which meant when you were in the shower or on the toilet (not even for that long), the lights go out and you are in the dark.
Would definately stay again.

The Ice Hotel!!
Our room absolutely freezing as radiator was not working, it was so cold that you could actually see your breath.
We spoke to Night Porter who could not fix the problem, could not move us and was not able to give us any extra blankets or duvets as they had none!. We ended up spending the night sleeping in our coats with bath towel for extra blankets. There was such a draught from the window near the bed that it caused the window blind to billow out. This hotel is overpriced for what in reality is very basic accommodation, run by people who care little or nothing about customer service.

One night stay
Room quite cosy but nicely furnished, good clean bathroom.
King size bed would have better if room was large enough, though my only compliant was the heating wasn't hot enough the room was quite cold, and a summer duvet in the middle of December without additional blankets to hand was disappointing. They're be little frolics in this hotel spend all night just trying to keep warm. Lovely one night hotel perfectly situated but please just turn the heating up.

Emma Roberts isn't a mean girl in real life, but she plays one on TV. …
Love is certainly not dead for the Queen of goop!
Television's biggest night was also one of the best showcases for this season's fashion trends.
American Horror Story alum Emma Roberts is the star – and mean girl – in Ryan Murphy's latest production: Scream Queens.
If there's one thing we love about Lea Michele, it's her ability to do a perfect, bloodcurling scream with gusto.
With just a few short weeks until the big Scream Queens series premiere, FOX has rolled out what you'll be seeing before each episode: the opening credits.
Emma Roberts is not only stripping down in her latest fashion campaign, but she's also going without Photohop as well!
Although the focus of Comic-Con is mostly to nerd out hardcore over our favorite movies, shows and franchises, we can't overlook some of the amazing fashion statements from the weekend!
And you thought that Comic-Con was just for nerds.
Emma Roberts and Evan Peters are getting back together… Sort of.
Another Hollywood couple bites the dust.
We've already seen the teaser. Now, we finally have our full trailer for Scream Queens.
Our first official look at Scream Queens is here — and it's ridiculously fun. …
New couple alert? Not quite.
Love is in the air… Or for all you single ladies out there, love is in the pizza you'll be devouring all day on Saturday.
Yes, Valentine's Day is coming up this weekend, and since we've already given you some ideas for gifts to give that special person in your life, it's time…
It's Saturday!
That means, it's time for the funniest celeb pics of the week! The pictures this week are definitely going to make you LOL! We have pictures of Cara Delevingne and Paul Rudd that you have to see! Check out the gallery to see all of the pictures! …
The hottest place to be this weekend was at the Nine Zero One Melrose Place Launch Party in Los Angeles!
Stars like Nina Dobrev, Julianne Hough, Emma Roberts, Ashley Tisdale and more came out to support Nine Zero One owners Riawna Capri and Nikki Lee at the launch of their new salon. Check…
Because Glee wasn't scary enough as it is, Ryan Murphy's latest TV creation will be an actual comedy-horror anthology series starring, who else, the bright star of Glee, Lea Michele, and True Blood's former werewolf and certified hunk, Joe Manganiello.
Entitled Scream Queens, Fox has announced that starring alongside Michele and Manganiello will be Abigail Breslin and Keke Palmer, while…

* At oral argument, Justice Scalia ripped a lawyer for thinking the Fourteenth Amendment was designed to protect minority rights against a white majority. As Scalia notes, "that was the argument in the early years…. But I thought we rejected that." Leave it to Justice Scalia to point out that no one makes decisions based on the publicly known original intent of the drafters of constitutional provisions from 150 years ago. That would just be silly. Now, if we're talking 200 years ago… [Josh Blackman's Blog]

* Judge Posner, who authored the decision that framed the entire voter ID debate by casting doubt that the laws could be used to disenfranchise voters, tells HuffPo Live's Mike Sacks that he was completely wrong. Judge Posner explains that events have confirmed that voter ID laws are really all about disenfranchising poor and minority voters. Ever the empiricist that Posner guy.

This granola came out wonderful! Mine baked for exactly 1 hour and came out nice and clumpy and full of flavor. Thanks so much for posting!
This is my first attempt at making homemade granola, and boy-o-boy, I'm hooked! My first attempt I had difficulty getting clumps, so I will work on that technique. My one request of Enjolinfam is to include the ingredient "wheat germ" with the others in step #1; I had already combined everything and placed my two trays in the oven before I realized that I had wheat germ still left on the counter! I took my trays back out of the oven and all went back into the mixing bowl! Thanks, Enjolinfam! Made for 123 Hit Wonders.
I made this using maple syrup and added some cashews, flaxseed, sunflower seeds & pepitas. I used Splenda in place of sugar but didn't measure it, just eyeballed it and used a lot less than asked for. I've never done granola with water before & it works great, you don't have to use as much oil. Toddler DD & I both loved this!
We really liked this. The only thing I wished I had some honey on hand. I used maple syrup, and used 1/2 cup almonds, and 1/2 cup pecans. Loved this because there are different variations to make this. (almonds,or pecans) (honey, or maple syrup). A KEEPER.
Made this for 3 Chefs. Made for my dbf who loves granola! Used 1 cup of coconut, didn't add any sugar, but used about 1/2 cup of maple syrup. I found it was starting to burn after a little less than an hour - so next time, I would put it for maybe 45 minutes at 275F. Thanks Enjolifam!
My youngest DS has been bugging me to find a recipe so he could learn how to make homemade granola (store bought is so expensive) when he returns to school in the fall and this is what we made. This was excellent and he will be learning to make it before he leaves for school. I didn't have wheat germ (don't keep many wheat laden items in my house because I'm allergic to it) so I used ground flax seed and I also used quick cooking oatmeal because that is all I had. When I make it again, I'll be trying it with brown sugar (at his request) and using old fashioned oats. Thanks for posting this Enjolinfam!
