Pantera -- Saskatoon, Saskatchewan -- July 31st, 2001
Hey guys, new member to Metal Setlists here. I've been reading these forums for quite a while and they've been an awesome resource, and I'd always intended to sign up but didn't get around to it until earlier today. Anyway, today marks my ten year anniversary of going to metal concerts (okay, I know it's late in the day and probably already August 1st for most of you, but close enough! ) so I figured I'd kick off my time here by sharing a review of my first concert ever with you guys.
Saskatoon's a small city (just under 200,000 people at the time of the concert) in the middle of the vast Canadian prairies, so it's pretty cool that they managed to come here.
This was their first and only time here, and the third last show they ever played.
Warning: a bit of a long read... the review of the actual show is a little ways down, in case you don't care about any of the other stuff.
It all started in late 2000/early 2001 when I first discovered metal. I heard the interlude to Master of Puppets online and that got me interested in Metallica, and shortly after I checked out Pantera. The first song of theirs I heard was Revolution is my Name and I loved it. I downloaded tons of their songs off of Napster at the time and they became one of my favorite bands.
One morning in late June of 2001, during what was probably my last week of school, my Dad called me into the living room to show me something. I came in and saw the newspaper open, and lo and behold there was a large poster - Pantera. Saskatchewan Place. July 31st. Holy shit! We got tickets, and that summer I bought my first two Pantera albums (Reinventing the Steel, and Vulgar Display of Power).
Finally it was showtime...
After buying some earplugs and listening to more Pantera, we headed off.
When we finally arrived at the venue, I was both excited by the upcoming concert, and somewhat intimidated, being surrounded by all these big, tough, veteran metalhead concert-goers. Got in line, and then security came out and told everybody to form two lines, one for guys and one for girls. The lines moved up slowly as they thoroughly searched everyone (probably a wise choice, considering the notoriety of Pantera crowds at the time).
One of the first things I noticed upon entering the venue (aside from the stage itself) was the big banner with a bloody hand on it that belonged to the opening band Skrape hanging at the back of the stage. Morbid Angel were also supposed to be on the bill, but as I would later discover they had gotten denied entry into Canada and would not be playing the show (though at the time I thought the two bands had just gotten switched around). The next thing I noticed was the size of the PA system…
I believe most of the stops on this tour were done in packed arenas, with the stage being all the way at the back, as is pretty usual for this sort of show. However, with Saskatoon being one of the smallest markets on the tour, we obviously weren't gonna be getting the 10 - 12 thousand people that some other cities were. So our show was done as a "concert bowl" setting, where the stage is near the middle of the arena, with everything behind it blocked off (plus all the upper level seats were closed off, so it was just half the lower level and half the floor).
So this was a fairly intimate concert setting (by arena standards). However, they still had the same sized PA system they were using in the full sized arenas - two giant walls of speakers on each side of the stage (you can see part of it on the 2nd picture at the bottom, blocking out part of the stage), plus fairly large stacks of speakers on the floor right below it (not to mention all the amps onstage). When I saw that huge speaker setup in this fairly small venue configuration, I knew this was gonna be a LOUD show! (and I was right!)
I ended up watching the show from the main/concession level of SaskPlace, just above the top of the lower level (back before there were box seats built in that area).
So after a while, the lights went off and Skrape started. I'd read reviews of shows in the US where Skrape had gotten booed off stage, but this didn't happen here. They got a pretty good response from the crowd - I could see moshing and crowdsurfing from where I was. Personally I wasn't really into them, but didn't really hate them either. I did find their singer annoying though, as he stood basically in the same spot (front and centre) of the stage for their entire set without moving around at all. Eventually they finished playing, the lights turned back on, and it was time for a set change.
Finally, the lights turned off again. It was Pantera time! At that point I still thought Morbid Angel was the next band, so I was kind of surprised when all the people in the seats stood up (I remember thinking "wow, they must really like this band"). I don't remember when exactly I realized it was actually Pantera, but after the intro music was done they came on stage and burst into the first song of the night, Hellbound, with huge stacks of Randall amps onstage, and a giant metal Pantera logo above/behind them.
I was pretty mesmerized at this point at seeing my favourite band on stage and hearing them play one of my favourite songs. And then things got even better - as the chorus of the song kicked in with Phil's scream of "Heeeeeellllbound", huge jets of flame shot up on top of the amps and behind the metal logo, so hot I could clearly feel the heat on my face from all the way back where I was.
The song continued on, and then right as it came to an end…
A deafening concussive blast ripped through the arena, sending a jolt of pain down my ears (despite wearing the earplugs) and scaring the shit out of me. Fog poured down from the logo and amps, and then they went straight into their next song.
Soon enough, songs such as Goddamn Electric, War Nerve (more deafening explosions), and Mouth For War followed, each one as heavy as the last. Eventually they played Becoming, with Phil telling the whole crowd to go absolutely ballistic, and then getting them to sing along to the chorus. And then came Revolution Is My Name, which of course was my favourite Pantera song at the time, it really made my day to hear that one played.
As the night continued on, the band ripped through song after song. Generally after finishing a song, Phil would say "thank you very fucking much" and Vinnie would toss his drum sticks into the crowd. Phil also liked to rant and rave quite a bit, propping one foot up on a monitor and preaching to the crowd, with every other word being an F-bomb or other obscenity. He was definitely a meaner, tougher, darker person then, with Pantera generally being at their lowest during those last few years of their career, unfortunately. When I saw Phil with Down in 2009 he was a completely different person, and it's really unfortunate that he didn't manage to get himself together earlier. If he had, Pantera might still be around today.
Eventually, Phil stopped and listened to the crowd for a moment, standing motionless at the front of the stage. He brought the mic up to his mouth and looked like he was about say something, when he suddenly yelled "One, two, three four!" and Fucking Hostile kicked in, the pumped crowd once again screaming the chorus(es). And then the momentum of the show changed - Phil sat down on the drum riser (or the stage floor, I don't quite remember which), and the lighters came out in the audience as the band played This Love.
Phil's vocals were definitely not quite up to par with the album version at this point in his career, and while this applied to pretty much all of their earlier stuff, it was especially true of a song like This Love. But what he lacked in perfect performance he more than made up for as a frontman - easily one of the most powerful and awesome frontmen I've ever seen. He was good in Down, too, but in Pantera he was truly the master.
A little later on, as the lights were off after another song, the PA system suddenly blared "We're taking over this town". The familiar intro to Cowboys From Hell started playing as flames burst behind the logo again, and the band came out and played this crowd favourite hit, with Phil proclaiming during the pre-chorus, "We're taking over Saskatoon tonight!". As the song ended, the band said goodnight and walked off stage. People began to leave the show, but despite the fact that this was my first concert, I knew that the band was gonna come back and do an encore.
And sure enough a few minutes later they returned to the stage and finished off the night with another fan-favorite classic, Walk. Once again, Phil telling every last person in the room to get their fists in the air, and everybody screaming along to the chorus.
And then just like that, the show was over as quickly as it began. The crowd left the venue, all of us feeling pumped and amazed at what we saw. We had no idea at the time that this would end up being the third last show Pantera would ever play. Winnipeg (the final date of the tour) was the next day, and then they did the Beast Feast festival in Japan three weeks later, and that was it. They never played together again after that.
As I left the show, although I was quite in amazement at what I had just witnessed, I had no idea just how lucky I was to have experienced this and just how influential this would be for a long time to come; I certainly didn't expect that my mind would still be blown by it a full decade later.
I've been to many dozens of shows at this point, but this is still by far one of the best, unparalleled by anything else. Since Dimebag's death I feel especially fortunate and grateful to have witnessed this, and although there are times when I wish I could've been a bit older or more experienced with concert-going when I saw this, I know that seeing it when I did and how I did was part of what made it so special and incredible, and that's an experience I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
R.I.P. Dimebag
Forever Stronger Than All
Thanks for the music and good times
I'm gonna be honest here, I'm not actually 100% sure that this is the full setlist, as obviously it was a long time ago, I was quite young, and there were a few songs I wasn't yet familiar with at the time. The point of this post was more for the actual review than the setlist itself anyway.
However, this is the standard set they were doing on this whole North American tour, so it was either this exact set or something pretty similar:
5 Minutes Alone
Goddamn Electric
War Nerve
Mouth For War
Revolution Is My Name
Strength Beyond Strength
I'll Cast A Shadow/25 Years outro
Fucking Hostile
This Love
Primal Concrete Sledge
Cowboys From Hell

Goddamn that sounds like a hell of a first concert experience! Do you mind if I ask you how old you were?
5/20: Rotten Sound
6/10: Torche
I was eleven and a half at the time, about to start grade 6 in the fall that year. All my friends were still listening to Blink 182 and Linkin Park, and I was rocking out to Pantera, Metallica, Slayer, and Rob Zombie! Hahah
And that's one of the reasons I especially feel like one lucky motherfucker for having seen this, had I gotten into them literally just a few months later I never would've had the chance to see them... pretty crazy how stuff like this just happens sometimes, really makes me appreciate the whole experience that much more... definitely one of the defining moments of my childhood. Don't know how many other people out there can say they had such an incredible first concert experience.
Oh my god, Pantera at age 11. How are you alive.
Great review, though!
Welcome to Metalsetlists!
Awesome review man, but not nearly as awesome as your Screenname/Avatar
I've lost track of just about everything.

Anyways, awesome review dude. You're lucky you saw them when you did!

I would have loved to have gone to this, but I didn't really start going to concerts until I was in high school. You should consider yourself lucky you got to see one of Pantera's last shows.
April 1st - NXT TakeOver: Dallas
April 3rd - WrestleMania 32
May 13th - Amon Amarth
I did get to go to Ozzfest 2001 that same summer though, the one that Manson and Slipknot were on. So there's that.
But yeah, awesome review and stuff.
Yeah, most people seem to get into metal around the time they hit high school (at least most of my friends did... I actually have one friend who's my age who was at this concert as well, though we didn't know each other at the time).
And it was actually by complete dumb luck that I discovered Pantera/Metallica, just randomly stumbled onto them online. It actually really blows my mind to think how different my life would be today had things gone just slightly differently and I hadn't discovered metal/music/concerts when I did.

I've been looking everywhere and haven't been able to find a listing of who is going to be appearing at FanFest. Am I missing it or has it just not been posted yet. I see that most teams have at least a tentative list posted (the Reds have over 40 commitments already). Thanks, PLMK, Andy

Federal, state officials care little for parents' concerns
1 2 3 Next page >
The evening of Nov. 13 was clearly a difficult one for New York State Education Commissioner Dr. John King and Chancellor Meryl Tisch.
Although, it was not like they hadn't heard it all before. Opponents of the way the state has rolled out the Common Core standards demand to be heard, and they are not taking any prisoners — especially among the enemy, the New York State Department of Education.
The two state officials sat alone at a table on the auditorium stage at Mineola High, listening intently – some say without hearing a word — as teachers, administrators and parents, many of them both school staff and parents — 47 in all — spoke out about the state's roll-out of what has popularly come to be called the Common Core.
While all of them approved of the Common Core standards, but not one of those 47 people said that they approved of the way the state has introduced the program to local school districts.
I was standing to the right of the stage, speaking with participants after they had spoken to King and Tisch from the podium below where they were sitting.
One after another walked away shaking their head and many had the same comment: "They didn't hear a word that I said."
Apparently, the uncaring, unhearing feeling extends to the federal educational bureaucracy as well.
Speaking to state school superintendents about the complaints about the rollout of the Common Core standards and testing program, the U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, said "It's fascinating to me that some of the pushback is coming from sort of, white, suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn't as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were, and that's pretty scary. You've bet your house and where you live and everything on 'my child's going to be prepared.' That can be a punch in the stomach.
So, the problem with the rollout is not with the educational officials who fouled up, but with the parents, who don't understand what is going on.
And so with King, many of whom's answers to questions about common core and the issues surrounding it — testing, privacy rights, teacher evaluation — were greeted with groans, jeers, laughs, shouts and demands from the audience.

The proper approach to the Common Core would have been to give it at least a year for the teachers and the students to absorb the New World Order and then, test on it, not unleash the tests when neither the educations nor the children have been properly prepared.

Independent Thinking Part 2Written by on February 7, 2003 Adding Better Handling & Looks With Vette IRS
Last month we showed you how easy it was to upgrade the front suspension in a '56 F-100 by replacing the old straight axle with a Corvette IFS using a new crossmember from Flat Out Engineering. We were able to update both ends of the '56 chassis in about seven hours with the very capable help of the crew at Bobcos. Due to editorial space we were only able to show you the front conversion but, as promised, here's the rear upgrade.
It wasn't all that long ago that adding an independent rear suspension was considered really exotic and reserved for the high-end build-ups. But these days with the availability of well-engineered kits and the abundance of reasonably priced late-model Vette components there's no reason that anyone can't take advantage of the improved handling and "wow" factor that comes with this install.
Once you start to investigate the cost of rebuilding an old rearend and buying a suspension like a new four-bar set-up you start to see that the cost of the Vette unit isn't so bad. The Vette rears come with four-bars from the factory and depending on the kit you choose you can even use the stock leaf spring as well. Obviously, upgrades like coilovers or airbags are available depending on your budget.
Unlike the front suspension install, the rear can be bolted in. Mike Briggs at Bobcos did end up welding the pinion snubber brackets in place to save some time, but they could have been bolted in. The rear suspension install itself took under two hours and although we did it to a bare frame it could have been done on an assembled truck with a little more time.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Mike started the rear suspension upgrade by removing all the stock suspension brackets and the crossmember that the shocks bolted to. A torch and an impact hammer were used to knock out the rivets.Unlike the front kit, which requires welding, the rear kit can be bolted in. Everything needed to install the Vette rearend is there.In most cases companies such as J & D Corvette will supply the rearend with all the stock components intact. Here it is after Bobco's crew removed the original carrier and transverse spring.The first thing that needs to be done is to establish the rear axle centerline. The stock Ford centerline is 36 1/2-inches measured from the rear of the frame rail on 1/2-ton shortbed pickups. In most cases this works fine, but again it depends on tire size and personal taste. It's best to check your wheel and tire combo with the bed installed on the frame to get your own centerline. Whichever centerline you use be sure to locate all of the brackets from the axle centerline to insure they are all located properly.Mike started with the rearend wing mount bracket first. The center of this bracket is 4 1/2-inches behind the axle centerline (32 inches from the rear of the frame). Holding the bracket in place he scribed the bolt holes (the rear hole should be 29 7/8 inches from the rear of the frame).Next he measured straightforward along the framerail from the rear axle centerline 10 5/8 inches and marked a vertical line. He positioned the large forward control arm mounting bracket on the framerail so that the upper rear hole of the bracket was centered on this 10 5/8 inches measurement. Using the top and bottom edges of the framerail as a guide, Mike positioned the bracket in the center of the framerail and scribed the bolt holes.
The Vette rearend was positioned under the frame using a cart as support. Before it could be installed the square dampner bracket on the top ends of the aluminum wing must be removed (they are aluminum blocks with rubber isolators and aren't re-used). The rearend can now be bolted to the wing brackets. The large rubber bushings at the mounting ends of the wing have little knobs inside them for metric bolts. You must either use the stock Vette metric bolts (which we did), or drill them out and use the bolts supplied with the kit.The forward control arms (four-bars) were bolted up next. Again you need to use the stock Vette metric bolts or drill the end with the small eyed rubber bushings out to 1/2 inch to use the kit supplied bolts.Flat Out Engineering offers kits to use the stock Vette leaf spring and shocks or replace them with coilovers. This chassis will get the coilovers. Mike removed the two inside rear control arm bolts that mount the control arms to the outer hub retainer bolts and slipped the new brackets in place. The bolts were then re-installed along with the 5/8 inch bolts and nuts provided with this kit that bolt the lower shock mount bracket to the outer hub, where the stock Vette shocks mounted originally (the stock Vette lower shock mount studs must be removed to accomplish this).In order to bolt the upper shock mount to the framerail Mike had to measure forward from the rear axle centerline 3 1/8 inches and 6 3/8 inches. There were stock holes at these locations that needed to be drilled out to 3/8 inch. The upper coilover shock mount was bolted on the framerail using these holes and the bolts supplied with the kit. Using the bracket as a template, Mike center-punched the upper two bolt holes on the frame and then drilled them out to 3/8 inch and installed the two upper bolts.The half-shafts were lifted slightly so Mike could install the upper coilover bolts. Make sure to install the coilovers with the adjusting knob facing away from the framerail.The folded double ear bracket was bolted to the top of the rearend housing using the long stock Vette metric bolts (which mounted the aluminum torque arm from the rearend to the transmission on the stock Vette). The stock torque arm is not needed with this kit.The boxing plateswere positioned inside the framerails at the approximate location of the upper coil mounts. Mike had to finesse the top of the rails a little to get the plates to fit properly. The top and bottom rails of a frame are often not 90 degrees with the side rails as checked with a square, so this is not uncommon.The new crossmember was positioned between the boxing plates and bolted to the double ear bracket (pinion snubber bracket). The boxing plates were tapped into place so that the crossmember would be centered.The pinion angle was then set at 2 degrees up (the transmission U-joint will be set at 2 degrees down). If you were to error here it would be better to error by setting it a little too high because you can shim under the folded double ear bracket on the rearend housing if necessary to bring the pinion angle back down a little.
The crossmember was checked for proper alignment using a tape measure and a level and then the holes were scribed and drilled into the boxing plate. The crossmember was bolted in place using the supplied hardware.Although they could have been bolted in place Mike decided that it would be easier to weld the boxing plates.

Feb. 3, 2012 -
A new nationwide survey shows men are better than women at planning for retirement. But the findings aren't sitting well with some.
Dr. Jayne Roberts has worked at Chipola College in Marianna for more than 20 years. She's nearing retirement and said she's working hard to make sure she and her family will be financially stable.
"I feel confident that I've done everything I can do in order to put myself in the best position," said Roberts.
But according to a new survey by the group Ameriprise Financial, it appears men are outplanning women like Roberts when it comes to retiring.
The results showed more than half the men questioned were setting aside money compared to only 46% of women.
"Probably the women spend more money on their families," said Chipola Community Bank Vice President Nina Goodson.
Goodson said in general women used to work out of the home and men would be the primary bread winners, but it's not like that anymore.
"The husbands and the wives do it together. They are juggling everything and they're sharing that more," said Goodson.
Roberts thought the results were skewed as well, and questioned whether the men actually told the truth.
"I think that people try to make themselves look better than they really would be," said Roberts.
The survey consisted of 11,611 U.S. adults ages 40-75.

Undated -- Stress less about your co-workers and focus on yourself and how you can progress in your job.
Career consultant Joyce Richman shared this advice on the Good Morning Show, "Check your assumptions if you insist on telling yourself that you co-workers have it in for you, and that's why they're progressing and you're not. Rather than focusing on them, and you can't control their behavior, right?"
Richman continues on to say, "Focus on what you can do to progress. In other words, what do you do to put points on the board, how do you need to advance the fortunes of this company, how can you increase revenues? How can you protect the bottom line? How can you delegate more effectively? How can you follow through more effectively? How can you do things in timely ways so that people say this person is accountable, this person is responsible, this is our go to person, what can you choose to do differently, and do better so you progress."

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A five-car pileup in the northbound lanes heading into Tampa caused a big backup on the Howard Frankland Bridge during rush hour Tuesday evening.
The Florida Highway Patrol says around 5 p.m., Richard Hayes was driving a Ford Escape north on the bridge in the outside center lane when he failed to notice traffic stopped in front of him. In order to avoid a collision, he veered left into the inside center lane and hit left back side of a Chevy Tahoe.
Hayes' Escape continued into the lane and hit a semi tractor trailer heading north. During impact, the Escape flipped multiple times and while overturning hit a Ford F-150 that was in front of the Tahoe.
As the semi truck entered the inside lane, when the driver tried to avoid colliding with the Escape, it hit the right side of another Ford F-150 pulling a small utility trailer. That Ford F-150 became jackknifed due to the collision and came to a rest facing south in the northbound center lane.
FHP says charges are pending for Hayes. The injuries of those involved are not known at this time.
Three northbound lanes were closed for about two hours and a half hours while crews cleaned up the crash. All lanes were reopened at 7:30 p.m.

IOC vote should bug us in West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When the story first hit the wire, I thought it was a gag.
The International Olympic committee is dropping wrestling from the summer games? Yeah, right. I'm sure. LOL. That and the 100-meter sprint.
I felt like Bugs Bunny rolling on the ground, laughing at Elmer Fudd. "Stop it Doc, yer killin' me."
Then I realized, hey, the IOC really is killing wrestling as an Olympic sport - with an elephant gun.
I also realized, hey, that hurts.
I imagine it does for many West Virginians.
Sure, football is king in the Mountain State. Hoops comes in second. And West Virginia isn't exactly a hotbed of wrestling excellence like, say, Iowa.
But we do like some Olympic rasslin'.
We watched Bruce Baumgartner. We watched Dave Schultz, who was later tragically shot by John DuPont. We watched Dan Gable, who went on to build a major-college dynasty at Iowa. We watched Jeff Blatnik come back from Hodgkins lymphoma in 1984.
We watched with awe Russian Aleksandr Karelin in 1988, '92 and '96. Dude was the best ever - until a kid from Wyoming, Rulon Gardner, ended Karelin's career in 2000. Karelin finally gave up an Olympic point, stepped away, bowed to Gardner and retired.
And the IOC is pitching that? It decided to keep modern pentathlon instead of wrestling? Dressage is OK, but not wrestling?
Wrestling is the contact equivalent of the 100-meter dash. Simplistic. See how fast a guy can run. See which guy is stronger in hand-to-hand battle.
No wrestling? As Bugs would say, what ultramaroons! What embezzles!
And, yes, we've had our connections in West Virginia. One of our favorites was Nate Carr, who was an Iowa State great but migrated to Morgantown and helped WVU coach Craig Turnbull.
While a Mountaineer coach, Carr made the Olympic team and wrestled in Seoul in 1988.
He won over the Mountain State with his enthusiasm and charisma. While at the Olympic Village, Carr didn't partake in any recreational activities for fear he would lose focus.
Then we watched as Carr was robbed. A judge made an obvious scoring error and Carr settled for a bronze medal. But the folks here knew. He was embraced.
(Carr, by the way, was defeated by Schultz in the finals of the 1997 U.S. Nationals. That's an extraneous tidbit I'm throwing in for free. Because I like you guys.)
In the same Olympics, we also had one of our own wrestle. Ken Chertow, who hailed from Huntington High, starred at Penn State before making the U.S. team as a junior.
Chertow didn't earn an Olympic medal, but his journey was certainly one we followed.
Wrestling is just one of our deals here. We're certainly not voting it out. Current WVU assistant Greg Jones is one of the most successful college wrestlers of all time. He won three NCAA national titles.
Dean Morrison won a title, and I was in Iowa in 1991 to watch Scott Collins win WVU's first national title. To this day, it remains one of the most thrilling events I've covered.
In the finals, Collins, wrestling in the 149-pound weight class, scored a takedown in the final 30 seconds to defeat Iowa's Troy Steiner 8-7 on his home mat.
Danny Felix, another current WVU assistant, was an Olympic alternate.
So, yes, IOC this bugs me. It hits me right here.
And when I say that, I'm tapping my heart.

|Map of Texas highlighting Freestone County (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
In 1998, while treasure hunting in Freestone county, Texas...at one of my favorite thrift and salvage areas, I happened upon a unique and extraordinary find. It caused my adrenaline to rush and my heart to skip several consecutive beats. Being a lover of old antique, vintage and collectible items, especially textiles...I was enthralled to find a pile of these cloth items slowly mildewing and deteriorating in the deep, dark recesses of this favorite hunting ground. I did not realize at the time how much richness lay at my feet, but I did realize that it would be shameful to let all this wonderful handiwork continue to rot into total oblivion. So I struck a deal with the owner to buy the whole stinking lot for whatever price he might ask, in exchange for the privilege of a monthly payment plan. He wouldn't be stuck with a bunch of rotting textiles and I could take them home and restore as much as possible. It was a win-win situation for the both of us. He helped me to load the items into my vehicle and I headed home with the whole seemingly objectionable lot.
Once at home, I proceeded to examine the items more thoroughly. I was not disappointed. My intuition and keen collecting skills had served me well. There was abundant treasure in this smelly pile of musty old rags. I was awed and amazed as I peeled 50+ handmade items from the little mountain of old textiles.
There was great value here, but not necessarily in just dollars and cents. There was also historical and cultural significance. Out of the smelly mess emerged an aged and tattered Blue and White embroidered signature quilt that featured 30 quilt blocks with 20 names on each one. Originally the item would have had 600 names embellished upon it, but now several were missing because of damage that had occurred to some blocks on Rows 1 and 6. Some names had the embroidery threads slowly disappearing and others no longer were legible or even existed.

Yet because I am somewhat of a history buff this old tattered relic of a quilt did not repel my aesthetic senses, but instead stood out among all the other items and beckoned to me to examine it closer. It captured my attention in a way that I could not turn away in disgust because of its dilapidated condition. There was a silent call to know more about the people represented here with their embroidered names upon it. The thought of giving it new life, meaning and glory consumed my everyday thoughts heavily.
Research has revealed that this folk art piece was created possibly around the year 1947, a couple of years after WWII ended and possibly it was created to collect money for the Red Cross, since the people of the town in which it was composed were heavily involved in that particular project during the war years. The names listed seem to all be Freestone county residents situated around and near the small town of Teague, Texas.
I was born in this county in 1951 and lived here until my High School graduation in 1969. My husband and I eventually ended up in the San Francisco Bay area where we raised most of our children. We returned to Texas in 1997. All these years I had scoured thrift shops, flea markets,and garage sales as a means of helping to feed and clothe a family of 10 people and because it was so much fun rediscovering the nostalgic items I grew up around. I had read and heard about the great and unique finds of others in these types of places, but never had anything this significant come my way.But now here I was with a relic in my own hands that represented my own local backyard history. How amazing can life get!!! Dare I resist this strong urge to dig in and rediscover this long lost history. I think not. The challenge was staring me in the face. I must act...Succeed or Fail...I must try to unveil this shrouded mystery.
As I stated earlier from l977 - 1997 my family were residents of California. My husband decided that we must return to Texas and so we did. My grandmother died in 1996 and among her estate items was a tattered old history book that she seemed to have cherished and read many times. My grandfather passed this book on to me. It was titled the Freestone county history and was published in 1978. At first I cherished the book because it was something to remember my grandmother by...but now after discovering the quilt ...the book took on greater meaning to me. I decided to check it out to see if it included any names of the people on my quilt...and indeed it did. My grandmother had turned down a page in the book on a photo of a prominent rich citizen of the county that eventually was a clue that led to me discovering a passel of information about the slaves in our own historical background and how they were transported from South Carolina to Texas and by whom.
I eventually discovered that "Big Mama" ( my grandmother) had owned only Volume I of a set of two Freestone county history books...so I purchased the second book from the local museum.
Eureka! ....more family histories and local stories of pioneers, settlers,slaves,cowboys,Outlaws, Indians, and more.The notable, famous, infamous and ordinary everyday people were all a part of this amazing legacy. How good can things get in one's own backyard. This was almost unbelievable...almost over whelming. I then started to search the Internet for local history and even more channels of information appeared...also local museums were filled with every day artifacts that these people used in their daily lives. How amazing can one story get. I was and am thus inspired to see this research through to the end. Reconstructing a part of the STORY OF TEXAS that relates to the settling of Freestone County is oh so thrilling.

How amazing can one story get. I was and am thus inspired to see this research through to the end. Reconstructing a part of the STORY OF TEXAS that relates to the settling of Freestone County is oh so thrilling.
My cache of knowledge on this grand subject is still quite limited compared to the scope of the work that needs to be done.I still have so many unanswered questions....so many whos, whats, whys and whens....but I feel with patient endurance all the jigsaw puzzle pieces will fall into place in Jehovah God's due time.
One of my greatest research moments was when I discovered names on the quilt which could be connected to my personal family history. I was in Historical and Genealogical Heaven. My motivation to plow on with the project, despite the many obstacles , now gave me the foundation support I needed to persevere ...because not only did this story represent the county , but my family and I are also personally included in this amazing and thrilling story.
So at this point (June 2013) I've decided to share some of my research on this fascinating piece of folk art. There is so much more work to be done. Yet I am not in a hurry. The challenge of reconstructing this vibrant part of Texas History can be compared to piecing a quilt and I have a lot of patience, experience and skill at tackling this sort of project.
To begin my "Share and Tell" I will start by listing all the names of those people on the quilt that I have been able to decipher. They will be listed Block 1 - Block 30 in my next blog post dealing with this artifact. As I said earlier, some names will be missing due to damage to some of the blocks, but I will do my very best to capture as many of them as possible.
After listing as many names as possible, I will then select random names that I have been able to retrieve historical family and personal data on and do blog posts about their connections to this county. Many of these stories are truly 'AWESOME' but every story, no matter how seemingly insignificant are all an intregal part of the whole. Remember these people and their family members all played a part in Pioneering the settlement of and helping to create the STORY OF TEXAS.
This is a process that could take years to compile and complete. I may not live to see the project finished as I am now sixty-two years young, but I plan to get the ball rolling and continue the work until my health and/or finances no longer allow. I'll put the gears in motion and keep them rolling as long as possible. I hope you will enjoy the journey with me as followers of this blog, www.quiltstoriesbysherryann.blogspot.com. I will be posting and sharing fresh new information as often as possible. (This is a NEW SERIES Of Posts ) Please become followers of this blog to keep updated on future developments....meanwhile...ENJOY!!!

COPS grants give local law enforcement the resources to serve their communities in new ways. With those resources, however, comes responsibility. Federal guidelines establish the requirements associated with COPS grants, and it is the responsibility of the COPS Office to ensure that those guidelines are met. The following sections outline the various ways in which the COPS Office meets its responsibilities, as well as the tools COPS has to help recipients manage their grants most effectively. The COPS Office works closely with the Office of the Comptroller (OC) and Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to make sure each grantee is able to make good on the responsibilities it accepts with a COPS grant.
Please be advised that the Anti-Lobbying Act (18 U.S.C. § 1913) was recently amended to expand the penalties for restrictions against using Federal funds for lobbying activity. The amendment provides that Federal funds cannot be used, directly or indirectly, to influence a Member of Congress, a jurisdiction, or an official of any government, to favor, adopt, or oppose, by vote or otherwise, any legislation, law, ratification, policy or appropriation whether before or after the introduction of any bill, measure, or resolution proposing such legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriation. The amendment makes the anti-lobbying restrictions enforceable via large civil penalties, with fines between $10,000 and $100,000 per each occurrence. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is currently considering amending the OMB cost circulars and the common rule (codified at 28 C.F.R. Part 69 for DOJ grantees) to reflect the amendment.

Does the R22 come with an RF Remote?
It is supposed to come standard with the RC64 remote, but you can purchase the RC64RB remote for it and it will work out of the box (that is, you don't need to also purchase an external RF antennae--you do need to program it).

Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

318ci Budget Engine Build - Big-Block On A BudgetWritten by on October 1, 2008 Contributors: Courtesy Of Auto Performance Engines Build A Solid 383 Without Taking A Second Mortgage On Your Home!
Back in the days before internet auction sites, before leaded fuel became extinct, and when you could still find a cool Mopar for around 500 bucks, if you spent a thousand dollars rebuilding your engine, you ended up with a solid motor that would perform well and last a long time. Times have changed, however, and these days everything costs significantly more than it did in the "good ol' days" that we remember so fondly. These days it's easy to spend several thousand dollars on a basic rebuild, and if you want big power, your engine budget can easily top twenty or thirty thousand dollars. While we all dream of running a huge stroker motor in our cruisers, the fact is most of us can't afford a big-inch stroker . . . or the gasoline to feed it for that matter. We wanted to build a respectable big-block for our '67 Barracuda Formula S clone, but like most, we didn't have a bunch of money to spend, so we chose an economical and logical set of parts from the YearOne Speed Shop to build a good-running 383.
Anytime we build an engine, we start with a core. Sometimes the core is the engine that came out of the car, and sometimes it's not. Regardless of where it came from, knowing that the engine ran prior to starting the rebuild is a good indication that the core engine is buildable. Our engine didn't come in our Barracuda, but it did come from a running '66 Monaco that we purchased from Editor Bolig's brother. The Monaco was cool, but had severe frame rust, and therefore, was only good for parts. Fortunately, the car ran and drove, showing just over 100,000 miles, had good oil pressure, and didn't overheat, so we were pretty confident the engine would be a good candidate for an economical rebuild. While finding an engine that simply needs new rings, bearings, seals, gaskets, and a quick honing like the 318 that Randy and Young Gun Darrel Kunda are putting together would be ideal, the fact is that most of these engines-especially big-blocks-have significant wear and will require a trip to the machine shop.
When we disassembled our 383, we found it to be fairly clean inside. Even so, the cylinders were worn and had a ridge at the top. Measuring the cylinders below the ridge told us that we wouldn't simply be reringing and honing this engine; it would need to be bored oversize for larger pistons. Luckily, the rest of the engine looked good. The crankshaft was within tolerances and would just need to be polished, and the main bearings didn't show any abnormal wear that would indicate a bent crankshaft. The connecting rods looked good as well, so we began cleaning our parts and planning our build. We like to clean up our engine parts first, and then purchase the new parts we'll need prior to taking our engine to the machine shop. This way, the machinist can physically measure the new pistons, ensuring the block is bored and honed to the proper dimensions. Also, since we're replacing the pistons and will rebalance the rotating assembly, the new pistons, rod bearings, and rings will need to be weighed when the balance job is performed.
To top our short-block, we chose to stick with the closed-chamber "516" casting cylinder heads that came on this engine. These heads feature a great combustion chamber, with plenty of quench area, and will give us just over 10:1 compression when matched with flat-top replacement pistons. Though the "516" heads have a somewhat small exhaust valve, we'll correct that problem by cutting the seats to the larger 1.81-inch dimension and installing a set of factory exhaust valves from a set of cracked "906" casting heads we had lying around. Since the seats will be cut for the new valve job anyway, having them cut oversize will only cost a little more and will improve power dramatically.
With our basic combination set, we picked up the YearOne Speed Shop catalog and began looking for parts. While most of us have used YearOne as a supplier of restoration products for our cars, their new Speed Shop catalog is a comprehensive listing of engine, drivetrain, and performance parts specific to musclecars. We found everything we needed for our rebuild in their catalog, and the prices were very competitive. Being budget minded, we ordered a basic rebuild kit and a Comp Cams hydraulic, flat-tappet cam kit, which included new lifters, matching springs, locks, and retainers. We also ordered the correct Mopar engine paint, freeze plugs, and all the gaskets we'd need for our 383. We had a little extra cash for this build, so we decided to spend it where it would make the most sense-purchasing a windage tray kit and upgrading to an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and 650-cfm Edelbrock carburetor.
When our parts came in, we took our disassembled engine over to Auto Performance Engines to have the appropriate machine work completed. The block was bored with a torque plate, and the crankshaft was checked and polished. The rods were resized, and the new pistons from our rebuild kit were pressed onto them. Since replacement pistons rarely weigh the same as the factory units, we paid a little extra to have our rotating assembly balanced. The cylinder heads were cleaned and treated to a performance, multi-angle valve job and cut for the larger exhaust valves. As usual, machinist Kevin Willis treated us right and had our parts back quickly so we could assemble our 383.
Though not much more than a factory rebuild, the upgrades to our 383 didn't cost much and should boost output well above the factory horsepower rating of 325, ensuring this engine will be fun in our A-Body cruiser.

Another area to check during teardown is the engine bearings. Unevenly worn main bearings could indicate a bent crankshaft; grooves in the bearings indicate dirt or debris went through the engine's oil system. Fortunately, our bearings looked pretty good, and our crank didn't need to be turned.Though known for their restoration products, YearOne also has a new, comprehensive catalog of performance parts. We found everything we needed for this engine build in the YearOne Speed Shop catalog and were pleasantly surprised by the competitive prices.It costs a little more to have your block bored with torque plates, but it's the only way to ensure the cylinders are true when the engine is bolted together. Even on a budget, using torque plates to bore the block will improve performance and longevity, so we think it's money well spent.Fortunately, our crankshaft was in good shape and barely worn, only needing to be polished and rebalanced for the new pistons.Aftermarket pistons, especially oversize pistons, won't weigh the same as the factory units. While most are close enough that engine balance isn't dramatically affected, we decided to rebalance our rotating assembly for a smooth-operating, long-lasting engine.The connecting rods were individually balanced as well, and then the rod, piston, bearing, and ring set were weighed to determine the proper bob-weight for the crankshaft. While labor intensive, balancing the engine will prolong its life and ensure a smooth operation.
By installing the camshaft first, we could check that it installed smoothly. If not, we could correct any problems prior to assembling the rest of the engine. Ours went in fine.The cam lobes and the bottom of the lifters were coated with Comp cam lube. The journals and lifter bores can be lubricated with engine oil or assembly grease.Checking the piston's height in the bore at top-dead-center gave us one of the dimensions needed to calculate compression ratio. Since our new slugs have a slightly higher compression height than the stock pistons, our compression ratio with the "516" cylinder heads will be just over 10:1.Since our mild hydraulic cam was barely bigger than stock, there's no real advantage to degreeing it. We simply lined up the marks with a straight edge and called it done.To top our 383, we used the "516" casting cylinder heads that came on the motor. These heads offer a great quench area and big intake valves. we had the exhaust valve seats machined for 1.81-inch valves from "906" casting cylinder heads.Installing the larger exhaust valves was easy, cheap, and greatly benefits power output. We scavenged our valves from a cracked set of "906" heads we had in the shop.
Installing a windage tray is an easy and cheap way to gain a few horsepower by keeping the engine oil off the crank and rods. The rest of our oil system consists of a factory HP pan and new Melling oil pump.After checking piston-to-valve clearance, we bolted the cylinder heads on this engine with new Fel-Pro head gaskets.Here's a cool trick to line up the pushrods while installing the rockers. Simply use the engine's dipstick to keep the pushrods in place. This is way easier than trying to line them up by hand while bolting rocker shafts in place.When painting the engine, we didn't want to paint our new intake and valve covers. By using an old intake and valve cover set, we saved some time by not having to tape those areas off.YearOne has the correct paint for your Mopar engine. While we didn't go with the proper turquoise color because we like orange better, the Street Hemi orange paint that YearOne sells is the factory original color and looks much better than the rattle-can paint the auto parts store carries.Once the paint dried, we bolted on our nice valve covers and other accessories, like the fuel and water pump.We chose an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and 650-cfm Edelbrock carb for our 383. These parts are a nice match for the mild cam in this motor, building plenty of midrange torque without sacrificing peak power.Now complete, we look forward to installing and testing our budget 383. All told, we spent just under three grand on this engine, and our combination should easily produce 350 hp, making our A-body a blast to drive. And with gas prices in our area topping four bucks a gallon, we're sure to be happy with our small-displacement big-block.

There's not a lot of doc on DSPAM integration in Zimbra. I get the basics, and it works OK once enabled: dspam is hooked into amavisd before SA, so SA uses it to score up or down based on the dspam result. I have some questions:
* Where are the dspam SA scores set? Not, apparently, in conf/spamassassin.
* How does dspam get trained? I see it getting trained out of zmtrainsa, which is good, but that only trains it on ones the SA misses (i.e. messages which users hand-move into or out of Junk). You really want it to train on SA autolearn messages too (really high or really low SA scores). How is that done, if at all? If you don't do that, it'll take a really long time to get to 2500 messages!
* Is there anyone working on Bug 47404 – spam training hangs when training DSPAM where dspam training hangs when running zmtrainsa on a user folder? This is the other way to get dspam trained, and it plain doesn't work at all.
(I'm running Zimbra 6.0.7 on Ubuntu 8.04)

Revision as of 12:35, 27 March 2013
As discussed on RDA-L, the presence of bibliographical references is content information, provided at the Expression level. However, 7.16 (Supplementary Content) shows an example with pagination, and this information does not seem appropriate at the Expression level, since different manifestations might have the references on different pages. If we are not to add pagination, then shouldn't that example be removed?
This is an example of a larger issue. The JSC recently agreed with a comment from the Library of Congress that we should not strictly separate work/expression/manifestation/item information, e.g., we should not banish all manifestation information from the recording of expression information. What we do need to be clear about is what type of information we are recording. If we agree that bibliographies are Supplementary Content (expression), then we may not need to insist that we cannot record the pagination (manifestation). However, we do this at some risk that the information will not apply to all manifestations.
Perhaps we will feel differently about that risk once we are truly separating WEMI descriptions into separate "records".
That does leave the question: If not part of the Supplementary Content statement, where would the pagination be recorded?
-- John Attig, 2/11/2013
If, in the expression, we're still talking abstractly about content, it seems to me we should be able to do that and still describe the manifestation ias a 'package'. Can I also suggest we substitute 'aggregations' for 'records' as much as possible?
-- Diane Hillmann, 2/12/13
Update (2013/03/27)
A Fast Track proposal will be submitted to remove the page numbering from the example at 188.8.131.52.

I would hate to see this park fail. This just "MIGHT" be one of the many levies worth while. Fo course, I know only what I have read.

The concept that there is unlimited money is something we have to dispell. The President, in his quest to bankrupt the nation and its future, has chosen to cut services that are meant to upset us into accepting the spending of money we don't have. The curtailing of services like recreation, parks and even youth activities is an indicator not of cutbacks but of spending and priorities. Obama spent nearly $20 billion US dollars in to overthrow Momar Ghadafy in Libya. No one asked him to do that, it was not an internsational emergency, but he chose to spend those resources there. And in the last month the new SOS John Kerry took big PGA sized checks for $450 million to Egypt and the new Islamic Libya. Those are choices that Obama has made on his own and he has no problem going on camera and telling us that if he is not allowed to create more debt, the old folks won't get there SS checks. Money for small airports, parks, education, etc? Those choices are not important to him.

Progressive liberals have no concept of running something that actually MAKES money!!
Why can't this park generate a PROFIT!
Far as the 10 dollar addition to license plates, that is simply sticking it to the people!!!
While many are lining their pockets with gas industry bribes, they REFUSE to make THEM pay for the road and bridge damage that THEY are causing!!
You have THOUSANDS of gypsy workers that have been here MORE than 30 days yet pay not one thin DIME in taxes, registration or license fees!!
Then these same commissioners are throwing away money on refurbishing the old sheriffs residence when it CLEARLY should have been torn down!!
The school levies are yet ANOTHER joke!
First of all we are ALL tired of funding schools that NONE of OUR kids or grand kids will ever attend!!
And they continue to pay 6 figure salaries to Superintendents for EVERY school district!!
It's absolutely amazing how they spend OUR money like there is no limit!!!

Back in the day, local industry was BOOMING and EVERYBODY was working making BIG money!
That coupled with the fact that families were MUCH larger so their kids needed something to do and there was no internet, smart phones, or video games back then so drive inn movie theatres, roller skating rinks, and bowling allies filled their entertainment needs
Today, the drive inns are all gone, as are the bowling allies and skating rinks so swimming pools are simply going the same way
What is also VERY telling as to how poorly the progressive liberal governments run things is the St Clairsville memorial park example
Their own handout literature states "Memorial park has NEVER had an operating levy since 1950"
So WHY does it need one NOW!!!!!!
The answer is simple, the liberals don't know how to turn a profit!!!
The people are paying RECORD tax levels as it is and these clowns now want even MORE to prop up a pool and park that has no business plan!!!

Hi there,
I've developed a zimlet to save emails and attachments for my company. It is working fine. The operation consists on drag & drop one or more emails on the zimlet item in the zimlet panel.
My users want a button instead of drag&drop because they say the item is too small and they frequently hit another zimlet item.
So I'v added a toolbar button, but the button turns gray and is not usable when more than one message is selected in the message list.
I checked the "com_zimbra_example_toolbarhook" zimlet, and it appears to react the same way.
Any idea on how to solve this?

The $48 billion spending plan for the budget year that starts Oct. 1 is law.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has signed the budget bills during a ceremony Tuesday afternoon at the Romney Building across from the Capitol.
The package includes a small cut in individual income taxes, twice as much money for film credits, a slight increase in education funding and a down payment on school employees' health care costs in retirement.
The Republican-controlled House and Senate passed the budget bills three weeks ago. Snyder had the right to veto portions of the bills.
Democrats have criticized the GOP budget plan for not spending more on education.

Shirts off our backs
A week from Saturday, you – the fan – have an opportunity that doesn't come along all the time. It's your chance to get a game-worn Royals jersey – literally minutes after the game.
Interested? Let's go Around the Horn…
"Shirts Off Their Backs" is a major highlight for Fan Appreciation weekend. For just $1, you can buy a chance to win a game-worn jersey from the White Sox game on September 20. Each of the 35-40 players in uniform will be on hand to sign and deliver their jersey to the winners immediately after the game.
Raffle tickets will be sold throughout the stadium – in the stands, at the gates, booths, etc. The instant scratch win tickets will correspond with a jersey and will guarantee the ticket holder their prize (you must be in attendance to win).
Following the game, winners will be escorted onto the field and be presented with their jersey. Players will sign their jerseys and hand them over. So you might be the lucky winner to get an Alex Gordon jersey (he should be off the Disabled List by then) directly from the Royals' third baseman, complete with dirt stains and his autograph.
All proceeds from the event will go to support Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City based charity which helps provide a safe, loving and educational environment for children living in poverty. The United Way Agency expanded its facility in 2006, allowing it increase the number of children it helps from 353 to 674. The program has been helping Kansas Citians since 1971.
The Burlington Bees start their final series of the season tonight. They will meet the South Bend Silverhawks in Game 1 tonight of the Midwest League's Championship. Game 2 will be tomorrow night, also at Burlington Community Field. The series then moves to South Bend with at least one game on Friday. It's a best-of-five series and the final three are scheduled as away games for Burlington.
You can keep up with all of the action at www.gobees.com (free Bees' radio broadcast).
The Royals bullpen hasn't allowed a run in its last 9 1/3 innings…Devon Lowery made his second Major League appearance and struck out one. He's retired 6-of-7 hitters he's faced in the bigs…Jose Guillen had a RBI double last night during his seventh three-hit game and is tied for the team lead with 39 multi-hit games, with hits in six straight…Longtime captain and Royals slugger Mike Sweeney was released by the Oakland Athletics. Sweeney will most likely undergo microfracture surgery on both knees if he wants to make a bid to play again next season.
Several great deals not to forget about as we approach the final home stand:
Retro-pricing and $5 parking for Seattle, Halfway to St. Paddy's group deals on September 17, Fuel Up for 40 all homestand long and of course, the always available and ever popular All-You-Can-Eat Seats.

It has been in the low 90's here in Laramie and I can't stand it. I couldn't handle living where it gets to over 100.
Freakin stupid hot! Try being in the roof at 20 degrees hotter then what they report. 115 yesterday on the roof at 2pm! Sucks big time! Decided to go to Lake Tahoe today to get away from the heat. 89 degrees is much better and 52 degree water makes you cool off real quick.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Been over 100 for 3 days! I was out mowing and irrigating at 7:00 this am. Done by 10 and went into my reloading room and cleaned guns and loaded some ammo. ONLY 80 in there. Am going to do my am walk of 5 miles at 6:00 tomorrow morning when it is still fairly cool.

By Phil Stewart and Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States said on Tuesday it had captured a suspected ringleader of the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, a raid that killed four Americans including the U.S. ambassador and ignited a political firestorm in Washington.
President Barack Obama said in a statement that he had authorized the operation in Libya on Sunday in which U.S. military troops, working with law enforcement personnel, captured Ahmed Abu Khatallah.
"Since the deadly attacks on our facilities in Benghazi, I have made it a priority to find and bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of four brave Americans," Obama said, adding that Khatallah would "face the full weight of the American justice system."
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Khatallah was being held aboard an American ship after he was grabbed on the outskirts of Benghazi in an operation carried out by U.S. special operations forces.
Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said there were no civilian casualties in the operation and all U.S. personnel involved in the capture had safely left Libya. The Pentagon declined to discuss further details of the operation and it was not immediately clear whether there were non-civilian casualties.
A U.S. official said Khatallah would be charged and prosecuted through the U.S. court system and would not be sent to the prison for suspected al Qaeda militants in Guantanamo, Cuba.
That decision follows past practice and is in line with President Barack Obama's policy of bringing suspected militants caught abroad through the U.S. justice system rather than trying them in the military tribunal system at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a prison he is trying to close.
After the 2012 attack, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, Republicans accused the Obama administration of playing down the role of al Qaeda in the attack for political reasons.
They also said then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had failed to take adequate steps to ensure the safety of American diplomatic personnel, an issue that is still resonating as Clinton considers running for U.S. president in 2016.
The Libyan government had no immediate comment on the U.S. announcement and it was unclear whether Washington had notified Libyan officials before carrying out the operation.
It was the second time U.S. special operations forces have gone into Libya to detain a militant. A U.S. Army Delta Force team grabbed al Qaeda suspect Nazih al-Ragye, better known as Abu Anas al-Liby, in Tripoli in October 2013 and sent him to a U.S. Navy ship for interrogation.
Al-Liby was later charged in a U.S. federal court in New York in connection with the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kenya, which killed more than 200 people.

Christian Recording Artist Dianna Hobbs Honors Mother, a Breast Cancer Survivor with New Song
Individuals battling breast cancer and facing other life challenges are being injected with a healthy dose of faith and optimism in the form of a newly released song titled "Soon" from IndieBuzz Christian Contemporary recording artist, Dianna Hobbs. "Soon," which promises things will get better, was chosen as the official 2012 breast cancer awareness campaign theme song for Western NY's top inspirational station, WUFO 1080. It is currently available on iTunes.
"My beautiful mom Annie who is a breast cancer survivor asked me to release the song because it's her favorite soothing melody," Hobbs, who penned the original tune four years ago, but never shared it publically, said in a statement. But now, the singer-songwriter says she realizes God gave her the song "as a gift for others who need help getting through rough times" — the kind that came knocking at her mother, Annie Brinson's door in 2011.
After discovering a lump at home, Brinson, 60, was tested and diagnosed with an aggressive and difficult to treat form of breast cancer known as "Triple Negative," which accounts for only 10-15% of all breast cancers and could be responsible for an estimated 10,000 deaths annually according to the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.
"Although it wasn't easy, I knew God would take care of me," said Brinson, who admits to being uplifted during her fight by devotionals like Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling," inspirational songs like Dianna Hobbs' "Soon" and firm faith in the healing power of God, even though she lost an older sister to breast cancer just a couple years earlier.
In addition to using her music to promote breast cancer awareness, Hobbs, who is also President & CEO of EEW Magazine, a leading web publication for women of faith and color, will be sharing the inspiring stories of other breast cancer survivors from across the nation on Oct 30 as a part of the "Soon the Cure" campaign.
