About Elizabeth Kurtak
Elizabeth is a lifelong Colorado local and formally trained fine artist specializing in watercolor. She is nationally acclaimed having displayed work in galleries in New York, Las Vegas, and California. Described as lithe, free, and vibrant, relating organic forms with geometric and industrial shapes is a unifying theme in much of her art. Subject matter includes local landscape, flora, fauna, women, turtles, birds, and anything else the artist considers 'pleasant'.
The gallery, est. in 1998, is inside the historic Fraser Mercantile Building, through the garden gate. Located only 2 miles from Winter Park and right across the street from AMTRAK in the heart of Fraser, the beautiful art, gardens, and historic vibe are well worth inclusion on your vacation itinerary when visiting the area.
Elizabeth Kurtak does not have any images in this favorites collection.

BALTIMORE, MD (JAN. 21, 2016) – As the region braces for Snow Storm Jonas, which is expected to drop nearly three feet of snow with winds gusting at up to 45 miles per hour, the Maryland Department of Transportation's Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will operate with reduced service and schedule changes on Friday, Jan. 22. In addition, all transit services will be suspended prior to midnight tonight, depending on weather conditions, and will continue to be suspended throughout the weekend. Customers are urged to get to their destinations as soon as possible to help ensure their safety.
"A major storm is about to hit our region and we, at the MTA, care about our customers and want them to be prepared, safe and well-informed," said MTA Administrator and CEO Paul Comfort. "To make that happen, we're telling people our plans for transit in advance; however, these plans may change depending on the severity of the storm. We encourage the public to get to their destinations quickly as transit schedules are based upon weather conditions. MTA is working in collaboration with WMATA, our regional transit partner in D.C., to provide information as quickly and as early as possible so our transit riders can plan accordingly. The steps we are taking today are to protect the safety of our customers and operators, allow first responders and snow removal equipment unimpeded access to the roads, and allow the MTA to return more quickly to normal operations after the storm."
The treacherous weather conditions will impact Commuter Bus, Light Rail, Local Bus, MARC Train, Metro Subway and Mobility/Paratransit services. Service reductions will be phased in today beginning at 7 p.m. – sooner depending on weather conditions. The MTA will monitor weather conditions through the weekend to determine when services may resume on Monday, Jan. 25. Below is more specific information about how each service is affected by the storm. The schedules may change and service may be suspended earlier due to the storm's severity:
Local Bus
Metro Subway
Light Rail
MARC Train
Commuter Bus
MTA's Transit store will close on Friday, Jan. 22, at 1 p.m. with the MTA Transit Information Contact Center closing at 11 p.m.

Coal price crash should derail Joe Hockey's railway to nowhere
Treasurer Joe Hockey Joe could be funding a railway to nowhere using vital Northern Australia infrastructure funding, writes ACF economist Matthew Rose
Fulled by a pollution crisis, global warming is threatening life. We can cut pollution and create a better future, powered by clean energy from the sun and wind.
Treasurer Joe Hockey Joe could be funding a railway to nowhere using vital Northern Australia infrastructure funding, writes ACF economist Matthew Rose
Cynically stripping away the rights of communities to defend a clean environment is not the type of behaviour we expect from the government, writes ACF President Geoff Cousins
Climate change is the consequence of unchecked pollution. When carbon emissions caused by human activity enter the air they have dangerous effects on the environment, the economy, and our wellbeing.
A small handful of big polluting companies are reponsible for a much of Australia's pollution. Shutting our most polluting coal plants, transitioning to clean energy and increasing energy efficiency is critical to slowing climate change.
Pollution from burning coal is a 19th century problem with a clear 21st century solution – clean, cheap energy that doesn't run out or pollute the air we breathe or the water we drink. But big polluting companies are trying to slow the pace of change.
An appropriate Australian climate policy will drive pollution reductions in line with objectives determined by reference to the best available science. The Direct Action Plan is not capable of achieving the level of reductions we need to make our climate safe.
Our Climate Reality Project presenters help citizens around the world discover the truth about the climate crisis and take meaningful steps to bring about change
Climate change brings an increase in the occurrence of extreme weather events like heatwaves. Heatwaves cause a huge number of deaths, increase the risk of bushfires and put at risk vulnerable Australians.

Mahmoud Abbas, for decades henchman to Yassir Arafat, and like Arafat, but wearing a suit and with the outward aspect of a chartered accountant, Mahmoud Abbas remains every bit as "Perjur'd, Murderous, Bloody, Full Of Blame, Savage, Extreme, Rude, Cruel, Not To Trust" as Arafat himself, or Saddam Hussein, or Muammar Ahmedinajad, or Muammar Qaddafy, or Ayman Al-Zawahiri, or the late Osama Bin Laden, or dozens of other Muslims, some of them juset as adept as Mahmoud Abbas, the corrupt and grasping Slow Jihadist, at the tried-and-true no-one-here-but-us-accountants look.
Abbas Is Part of the Problem, Not the Solution
by Prof. Efraim Inbar
BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 195, January 15, 2013EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Though much of the international community sees Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas as a serious partner for peace, Abbas' words and actions prove that he is interested in nothing less than the ruin of the State of Israel. Instead of preparing his people for painful concessions and peaceful coexistence with Israel, Abbas glorifies armed struggle, insists on Palestinian refugees' "right of return" to Israel, and acts to criminalize and demonize Israel.
A version of this Perspectives Paper appears in today's Jerusalem Post (January 16, 2013).
A little-noticed Reuters story on January 10, 2013, reports that Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority (PA), rejected a conditional Israeli offer to let Palestinian refugees in war-torn Syria resettle in the West Bank and Gaza. Abbas rejected Israel's offer because he thought it would compromise the claims of these refugees to return to their homes in Israel lost during the 1948 war. According to this report, Israel agreed to the resettlement on the condition the refugees sign a statement relinquishing claims of return to Israel. Yet Abbas rejected this condition and said "it is better they die in Syria than give up their right of return."
Instead of helping his people in distress, Abbas prefers to cling to "the right of return" – a demand that no Israeli government will ever accept. Palestinian leaders have for years rejected attempts to alleviate the condition of their refugees by resettling them in proper housing in Gaza and the West Bank, instead preferring to keep the refugees and millions of their descendants in shanty towns and camps, as political pawns in the struggle against Israel. These refugees constitute an important element in the Palestinian self-image of victimhood and martyrdom.
Most of the international community rejects this Palestinian demand, understanding that a mass influx of Palestinians could destroy Israel's Jewish character, and that this is a deal-breaker issue. No Israeli-Palestinian peace can develop if the PA insists on the "right" of return. Yet nobody in the international community spoke out against Abbas' obstinate and radical refusal to take up Israel's offer to resettle Syrian refugees in the West Bank and Gaza.
The Palestinian leadership missed another opportunity to demonstrate that it can behave in a constructive fashion and be of help to its people. Instead of pragmatic politics, we once again see Palestinian adherence to radical goals that prolongs Palestinian suffering and produces obstacles to peace.
Another recent display of this typical Palestinian preference for intransigence was provided by the so-called "moderate" Abbas when he addressed his countrymen on a Fatah movement anniversary on January 4, 2013. Abbas avoided mentioning the land-for-peace formula or the establishment of a Palestinian state beside Israel that could bring an end to the conflict and the suffering of his people. He did not prepare his people for the need to make concessions for the sake of peace. Instead, Abbas stressed the perennial need to adhere to the path of armed struggle in order to realize "the dream of return" of the Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
The only explanation for this behavior is that the Palestinian national movement is very serious about the "right of return." Despite attempts of pundits who suggest that goodwill and Israeli territorial concessions can bring about a Palestinian flexibility on this issue, there is no evidence that the PA is ready to put aside its long-term goal of "return."
Dismissing Palestinian behavior and rhetoric, or belittling its importance with regard to the refugees, amounts to ostrich-type behavior of sticking one's head in the sand. The international community, either due to naïveté or wishful thinking, has never recognized that so long as Palestinians insist that refugees have a right to settle in Israel, they are not prepared for meaningful negotiations nor will Israelis believe that they are. People do not easily give up their dreams, and over the past twenty years since the Oslo accords were signed, the PA has not moderated its demands one bit.
The insistence on a "right of return" complements Abbas' refusal to acknowledge that Israel is a Jewish state and his denial of any links of the Jews to their ancestral homeland. Moreover, Abbas is conducting a campaign at home and abroad to demonize Israel and to portray Israelis as colonialists and war criminals. These acts do not indicate moderation or a quest for coexistence with Israel.
Abbas is also taking measures to encourage armed struggle against Israel, even if these measures undermine the state-building efforts of the PA. He supported several December 2012 parades of armed members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the militia of Fatah, in honor of the anniversary of the founding of the Fatah movement. Tolerant attitudes toward Palestinian militias run counter to the main litmus test of a state, which is the monopoly over the use of force. Turning a blind eye to the reemergence of armed groups in Palestinian society erodes the main achievement of the PA in recent years – the restoration of law and order, following the formal dismantlement of militias.
The Palestinian armed groups may be tempted to engage in violent clashes with Israel, which will turn out to be disastrous for Palestinian self-determination and peaceful coexistence. While declaring his preference for non-violence, Israeli leaders suspect that Abbas is hoping that a third Intifada will bring better results than the second.
Abbas promised negotiations and moderation after the winning by "Palestine" of an upgraded status at the UN as an "observer state." However, since that November 2012 vote, Abbas has only ramped up his inflammatory rhetoric and irresponsible policies. The Palestinians continue to be in urgent need of better political leadership to extricate themselves from pathological patterns of self-destructive behavior.

If Abbas were negotiating peace with Israel, his life expectancy could be measured in hours, not days.

So yes, he's been knocked down.
Counter right hook, from memory, to Floyds straight right. The fact that Pac has a right hook that makes Judahs look like junk makes me think he could have caught Floyd coming in shooting that straight right. Sadly, we'll never know.
As for the OP, its certainly up for debate I think.
The best names Floyd beat, Oscar, Mosley and Marquez were all old or smaller guys moving up. He has some excellent wins against Hernandez, Castillo and Corrales too.
However, if we go by that, Marciano does have greater name power. Ezzard Charles is a top ten P4P ATG (some have him top 20).
Joe Louis, was old and shot, but is also an ATG.
Archie Moore is put in the top 10/20 ATGs.
Jersey Joe Walcott is among the greatest ever too.
Those four alone are much greater than anything on Floyds resume and while they were past their best, so were Oscar and Mosley while Marquez was moving up two divisions for his first ever fight at 147 never having fought above 135.

text: Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency- the only form of money is demand deposits. Suppose the banking system has total reserves of $600 billion. Find the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement Simple Money Multiplier Money Supply (Demand Deposits) 10% (2/125/10/20/40/1) ($750billion/$600billion/$3trillion/$6trillion/$800billion/$60trillon) 20% (1/10/2/3.3/4/5) ($20trillion/$1.5trillion/$800billion/$3trillion/$600billion/$400billion) A higher reserve requirement is associated with a (larger/smaller) money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve (The Fed) wants to increase the money supply by $200 billion. Again, you can assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that househoulds do not hold currency. If the reserve requirement is 20%, the Fed will use open-market operations to (buy/sell)($5billion/$100billion/$40billion/$200billon$20billion) worth of U.S. government bonds. Now, suppose that rather than immediately lending out all excess reserves, banks begin holding some excess reserves due to uncertain economic conditions. Specifically, in addition to the required reserves of 20%, banks hold an additional 5 % of their deposits as reserves. This increase in the reserve ratio causes the money multiplier to (rise/fall) to (8/4/1/2/5) Under these conditions, the Fed would need to (buy/sell)($25billion/$200billion/$50billion/$100billion/$40billion) worth of U.S. government bonds in order to increase the money supply by $200 billion. Which of the following statements help to explain why, in the real world, the Fed cannot precisely control the money supply? Check all that apply [ ] The Fed cannot control the amount of money that households choose to hold as currency [ ] The Fed cannot prevent banks from lending out required reserves [ ] The Fed cannot control whether and to what extent banks hold excess reserves

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."
Patrick Henry,
Virginia Ratification Convention,
June 5, 1788
PAMPA - Gun control continues to be a divisive issue in our country. It is beyond my ability to understand this. Our Founding Fathers spoke very clearly of their intent behind the Second Amendment. Allow me to give an example of what can happen when we do not listen to great men like Patrick Henry, who gave us this country at huge personal sacrifice.
Sen. Thomas Dodd of Connecticutt was the vice chairman of the Review Board and later Executive Trial Counsel at the Nuremberg Trials. He had an inside look at how the Nazi government came to power. I guess it impressed him. He returned home with a copy of the Nazi Weapons Law, signed by Adolf Hitler, March 18, 1938. This law was found in the German "Reichsgesetzblatt."
Dodd presented the Nazi Weapons Law to the Library of Congress for translation. A memo from law librarian Lewis C. Coffin, dated July 12, 1968, states: . . . "(W)e are enclosing herewith a translation of the Law on Weapons of March 18, 1938, prepared by Dr. William Solyom-Fekete . . . as well as the Xerox of the original German text which you supplied." Several months later, spearheaded by Dodd, the 1968 PL 90-351 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act became law.
The law sounded very familiar to some in America; namely, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, Inc. Upon investigation they found that our 1968 law was almost identical to the 1938 Nazi law.
This is documented in the most detail in "Gun Control, Gateway to Tyranny" by Jay Simkin and Aaron Zelman. They have not been sued for libel. Furthermore the Dodd family will not allow the JPFO to view Dodd's papers.
It must be remembered what happened to the Jews shortly after Hitler disarmed the population. How many humans were slaughtered? Do they teach this in school anymore?
Hitler sold the law to the people as such: "This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future." Thanks to Sen. Dodd, it is still being sold in America the same way.
America's Militia Act of 1792 stated that all male citizens, 18 to 45, were members of the Militia. It was ordered that they keep, in their homes, a proper military firearm, ammunition, bayonet and other military equipment at the ready. They had to provide this for themselves. The government did not provide it for them. There was a reason for this.
George Mason (Virginia Ratification Convention, June 14, 1788) warned: " . . . (T)o disarm the people; that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia."
There are those who say those days and ways are gone. This is not Europe, this is America. We stand alone, unique. I must stand with Founding Father Richard Henry Lee, who stated, "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them. . . ."
How many times must we suffer the lessons of history? When we give up our rights, they don't come back.
The Second Amendment was never about duck hunting. "Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel."
David Watson of Pampa is employed at Pantex. He is a Marine Corps veteran and is a former peace officer.

Samsung tries again with Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches
Samsung has shown off the Gear 2, its second attempt at releasing a smartwatch that has mass appeal with consumers.
The company demonstrated the device along side another new model, the lighter Gear 2 Neo.
Both have a heart rate sensor, a pedometer and various tools to measure exercise, sleep and stress levels.
The watches run on Tizen OS, a fledgling mobile operating system, rather than Google's Android software.
The move is being seen as part of a wider strategy from Samsung to move away from Google's platform and to lessen its reliance on the search giant's product.

'Schmitten Views' at every turn
High Altitude Promenade
The name is the game: the High Altitude Panorama Hiking Trail awaits you not only with fabulous views, but also fascinating and rewarding insights into culture, nature and history.
Hikers adore the incomparable experience of nature plus added high-calibre delights along the way. Viscopes, for example, are quite unusual "telescopes" which tell you the name of the peak your spyglass is pointing at. Thematic boards along the route point out the rich kaleidoscope of life on the Schmitten, the history of the region, the flora and fauna and various aspects of hunting. All of it is done in a cool, laid-back, tranquil manner. A number of viewing platforms entice you to pause for a little rest and linger awhile, at the same time the children can try to figure out whether they have really seen all the carved wooden statues of animals along the way.
Schmidolin's Hiking Riddle Book
Families can also try to crack the enigmas in Schmidolin's Hiking Riddle Book along the High Altitude Promenade...and win twice over! Children who solve the alphabet-search and reveal the correct answer at the InfoCenter receive a little surprise. Whoever also turns in the filled-out answer card, has a chance to win a sojourn at Zell am See for the entire family.
The Hiking Riddle Book is available free-of-charge at the Schmittenhöhebahn valley terminal InfoCenter.

Melvin, Looper comments
Here are some comments from Brewers general manager Doug Melvin and new starting pitcher Braden Looper about today's developments:
Not only did the Brewers make official their signing of Looper, they claimed right-hander Nick Green off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels, at the least adding depth at Class AAA Nashville.
Combined with the recent acquisition of left-hander Chase Wright from the New York Yankees, the Brewers now have some coverage should anything happen to one of their starting pitchers.
"We've got some numbers now," said Melvin. "I'm anxious to see these people."
To make room on their 40-man roster for the additions of Looper and Green, the Brewers designated catcher Vinny Rottino and reliever Luis Pena for assignment. They have 10 days to trade those players or get them to accept a minor-league assignment.
"They're not necessarily out of the organization yet," said Melvin. "We'll see what happens."
Looper, who pitched in St. Louis' rotation the past two seasons, passed his physical Wednesday, returned to his home outside of Chicago and traveled Thursday to Arizona, a day before pitchers and catchers were scheduled to report to the Brewers' camp.
"I'm excited," said Looper, who converted from a bullpen closer to a starter before the 2007 season. "It's a good opportunity for me and my family. I'm joining a ball club with a good chance to win."
Looper cited several factors for signing with Milwaukee, including the proximity to his home, remaining in familiar territory in the National League Central and finally getting a deal he found acceptable after making $5.5 million last season.
"Milwaukee was the best fit for me," said Looper, who went 12-14 with a 4.16 ERA in 33 starts last year. "It'll be nice on off days to be able to go home to see my family, and have them come up on weekends.
"It was a strange market. I'm glad this finally worked out. I'm looking forward to the opportunity."
In making the Green/Pena move, Melvin in essence changed out a relief pitcher for a starter. He was comfortable with the number of bullpen arms at the top two levels but a bit nervous about the starting situation.
"It's really like trading Pena for Green," said Melvin. "We had a need for starting pitchers. And we felt a number of people were ahead of Pena."
The 6-foot-4 Green is not a hard thrower – his fastball is in the 89-91 mph range – but has an excellent changeup and decent curve. He pounds the strike zone, one of the reasons he surrendered 31 homers in 2008.
"He's a tall, lanky guy who throws strikes," said Melvin. "He does give up some home runs but he knows how to pitch. He's not overpowering."
Pena, 26, was considered a rising prospect in the organization until developing control problems last season at Nashville. He went 2-3 with a 6.93 ERA and 15 saves in 52 appearances, allowing 54 hits and 47 walks with 49 strikeouts.
"He does have a good arm," said Melvin. "You always worry about giving up on good arms but right now our bigger need is starting pitching."

Archive for the '9/11' Category
The Refugees
New York- In compiling a short manuscript of poetry that was written from approximately 1997-2002, its interesting for me to look back and see which poem topics are in a time capsule of that era and which are even more relevant in 2016. The piece below about Afghan refugees before 9/11 but it might as well be regarding the fate of Syrian and Iraqi refugees today. It is juxtaposed with the image above which I shot shortly after 9/11.
Beneath the poem are Syrian Kurdish refugees in southern Turkey, existing in humanitarian limbo. We must ask ourselves what have the terror wars and the Arab and Kurdish uprisings actually accomplished?
The Refugees
Unwanted and unafraid
On the move from where squalor has stayed
Each at his own indescribable peril
Dying everyday undeserved of each discrete, excruciating hell
Transforming desert to village overnight
Pulling water from the bedrock in the name of the almighty
And when that smile confronted me
I knelt to grace for all to see
An expression so beautiful
A moment in time beyond dutiful
Inhabiting at the edge of existence
People without sustenance are the truest resistance
SDSU: My Alma Mater in Books
New York- Reading two very different books in the same day, I came across references to the college where I received my bachelors degree, San Diego State University. When far away from San Diego, like say in Brooklyn, SDSU remains in the long shadow of UCSD across town in gilded La Jolla. It is thought of as mostly a party school or a sports school–both of which are apt.
I'm perfectly happy of having gone there but it's not exactly a place name of conversation topic in New York or Europe where I spend most of my time these days. When it is seldom referenced in popular culture, it is often in jest as when Bart Simpson says to Lisa, "Lis, you made the school worse than it already was. It wasn't exactly San Diego State to begin with" in the 2003 episode The President Wore Pearls. (Fun fact: Julie Kavner, who plays the voice of Marge Simpson, graduated from SDSU's drama program.)
In perusing the endnotes of Scott Shane's Objective Troy: A Terrorist, a President, and the Rise of the Drone about the life and assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki, I wanted to see what Shane had dug up on al-Awlaki's time in San Diego where he preached at a mosque called Masjid Ar-Ribat al-Islami that is four blocks from my college apartment. The late Yemeni-American imam-turned-firebrand had enrolled in a masters program called Educational Leadership but it has never been precisely clear whether or not he completed the program with a degree.
Though al-Awlaki has been dead for over four years now, understanding his trajectory to militancy is critical. This is due in part to his posthumous influence via the Youtube hereafter on aspiring salafi-jihadis around the world from Paris to the IS's illegitimate khilifah in centered on ar-Raqqah.
The fact that Anwar al-Awlaki was questioned for interacting with policewomen posing as hookers on a once notorious stretch of El Cajon Boulevard by the San Diego Police Department doesn't seem to have tarnished his vaunted image among the self radicalized scanning through his videos online. Al-Awlaki was a philanderer, a deeply flawed man. This may have played a larger role than we realize in his own escalation into militancy upon leaving the US before being killed in a drone attack in al-Jawf Governorate bordering Saudi Arabia's Najran Region on September 30, 2011. The execution of an American citizen without trial is a constitutional conundrum which simultaneously catapulted al-Awlaki into perpetual online martyrdom which is what he sought in his last years on the run.
Al-Awlaki's irresponsible, self-destructive straying from his wife and children was dwarfed by his rage upon departing the US and reconnecting with his tribe as well as AQAP in Yemen. As he became angrier over time, he repeatedly portrayed the world in a stark, binary good vs. evil rhetoric not unlike George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, even using the quaint term "evildoers" in one of his video sermons minus the overemphasized Texan drawl.
Shane's extensive endnote is inconclusive as far as al-Awlaki's masters pursuit at SDSU is concerned but in being so, it sheds some light on the imperfections of information flow dynamics here in the West. George Washington University has in its online national security archive a slightly redacted document from someone at my alma mater highly recommending al-Awlaki for a doctoral program at…George Washington University.
Just as many things are still not fully understood about the precise timelines of lives of the 9/11 hijackers here in the US fifteen years later, three of whom met with al-Awlaki in San Diego and the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, something as straightforward as whether he graduated from SDSU continues to be a matter of speculation–though several accounts indicate that he never graduated.
As a graduate, that astounds me, or at least befuddles me that this is still not clear. The fact that my beloved SDSU has a faint connection to 9/11 in that al-Awlaki was a student and met the San Diego-based hijackers during that time has always left me unsettled.
Then in reading The Evil Hours: A Biography of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder by David J. Morris, there are a couple of references to SDSU and even North Park, a neighborhood where I spent a lot of my time. The page pictured at left mentions an Iraq war veteran who is attending SDSU while grappling with PTSD at a Mission Valley clinic that deals with Cognitive Processing Therapy.
Both of these SDSU references are actually part of a unified larger continuum of the pre and post-9/11 era. Al-Awlaki was living in San Diego, the West Coast heart of the military-industrial complex, and met with al-Qaeda suicide attackers ostensibly well before he himself was radicalized. Now there are veterans of the terror wars attending the very same school where one of the world's preeminent anglophone salafi-jihadi ideologues briefly went before ultimately leaving San Diego for greener pastures in northern Virginia. From there he ultimately joined the global jihad in Yemen, his ancestral homeland.
The pivot point that pairs these two phenomena is the strategically horrendous blunder of invading Iraq. Al-Awlaki had initially been sympathetic to the victims of the 9/11 attacks–at least publicly– particularly in the context that a widespread domestic backlash to mass casualty salafist terrorism on the American homeland would have on the American Muslim community writ large. Nor did he loudly decry the American-led military response against the Afghan Taliban immediately thereafter. From his redoubt in Yemen many years later, al-Awlaki stated, "with the invasion of Iraq and continued US aggression against Muslims, I could not reconcile between living in the US and being a Muslim" with no mention of the intervention in the Afghan civil war in which al-Qaeda thrived.
The size of the American military footprint in urbanized Iraq with its rather highly concentrated population centers in comparison to that in Afghanistan was vastly greater, thus resulting in a far higher casualty rate on both sides. With San Diego County's network of military installations including Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Naval Base San Diego and so forth, San Diego would transform into a hub for returning veterans of the terror wars. So my one-time hometown, the city and university where I lived my happiest days, is deeply connected to both the before and after of 9/11 unlike perhaps any other place in the country.
SDSU is not brand name, haughty ivy league institution that connotes automatic success accompanied by lifetime bona fides. It is a large, inexpensive, egalitarian school where you have to make your own way, where there is no guarantee of even graduating between the sun and the party lifestyle that are entwined with enrollment and the natural geography of the campus. SDSU is not Harvard to be sure, and that's part of what I'm proud of about having been a student there. A unique place where skateboarders, soldiers and a future salafist have all mixed at one time or another. I don't know any other place like it.
Ground Zero: My Photographs from 9/11/01 to 9/11/11
Paros- Four years ago today I finished this decade-long documentary project about what was then called ground Zero in lower Manhattan. When 9/11 took place in my city, I told myself I would follow the story wherever I could for as long as I could. It took me to Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Hamburg, the Republic of Georgia, Jordan, Iraq, Bangkok, Malaysia, and countless other locales as the "War on Terror" unfolded. I then kept returning to New York City, my home, for each subsequent anniversary.
Ground Zero is now the site of One World Trade Center, a hub for New York City's tourism industry. The city has been rebuilt where it was thrashed by the largest suicide attack in history. Ground Zero buzzes with curious visitors posting the requisite photos to social media but the memory lays there, heaving with silent grief underneath flowing water and cool black stone.
9/11 unequivocally changed our world. We are living in a less safe, less just world today in my judgement. Freedoms have been curtailed as the United States has evolved into a low key surveillance state in response. Afghanistan is still in a state of war. Iraq has been broken likely irreparably. Then the 'Arab Spring' happened. It resulted not in a well spring of democratic growth as many initially hoped but inadvertently acted as an enabling factor for the spread of cancerous salafi-jihadi ideology to the point of holding territory by the most vile of non-state actors.
9/11 must be remembered with calm dignity, not be opportunistically exploited with jingoism or crass populism. A vigil of the spirit.
New York- Milling around the the 9/11 memorial the other day, I looked at one random, small cluster of names engraved above on of the two massive cascading fountains where the roots of the twin towers once intertwined with the earth. Though 9/11 is described as an attack on the United States or an attack on the West as a whole. reading over this small list made it feel as if the mass casualty event in New York was an attack on globalization itself for lack of a better term.
In this sample of victims it jumped out at me that one of them–Ehtesham Raja–was Pakistani. Then scanning across, I read Karamo Baba Trerra which appeared to be a West African Muslim name. Indeed he was Gambian. Then there is Jie Yao Justin Zhao from Guangzhou, China. Then Joyce Rose Cummings. a Trinidadian. The sole American in the frame of my photo is Donald Joseph Tuzio who'd lost his job and was only in the WTC that day to take part in a job-hunting workshop that was a mandatory component of his buyout package.
The diversity in just these five names–two of whom were Muslim–demonstrates that 9/11 was a global event whose magnitude devastated families from the Caribbean to China, from West Africa to South Asia. When I would photograph the anniversaries over the years at what was then referred to as Ground Zero, I was always struck by the diversity of families who arrived to collectively grieve and remember. Al-Qaeda killed Muslims from the beginning. Many of the victims in the East Africa embassy attacks were adherents. Most of the victims of salafist terrorism today are in fact Muslim.
While for me seeing the footprints of the towers evokes a somber feeling, the memorial is a place buzzing with life. Every visitor has a smartphone. People are smiling taking photos as tourists tend to do when on holiday. Then a policeman walks by and wipes the dewy spring moisture off of one particular name as if to honor it. I notice a rose on Mother's Day wedged into the name of a victim who was carrying an unborn child. A place that once stood as global business incarnate with people from around the world is now host to every imaginable emotion in the spectrum.
Feet to the Fire
New York- I don't ordinarily post the work of others here on TWD (unless they happen to be close friends) but I am thoroughly impressed by this interview by Jon Stewart of the disgraced former NYT reporter Judith Miller. It is as if in his final leg of The Daily Show, he treading into an area where professional American television journalists fear to and have feared to for years now.
His interview with Miller is both sharp and devastating. She refuses to admit that she bears any direct responsibility for anything having to do with disseminating White House or Pentagon propaganda that led to the war in Iraq. If one looks at the long view, this then led to the emergence of the angry man of Camp Bucca, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. You can draw a line from events in 2002 all the way to the present. The forcible dismantlement of the Ba'athist security state in Iraq in March and April 2003 led to one of the most ominous security vacuums on our planet.
I remember on the early morning of September 11, 2011 as journalists gathered in lower Manhattan for the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I had Miller in my group as we were escorted to the stands from where we would watch the Bushes and Obamas awkwardly stand side by side. I wished Miller, her former colleague Thomas Friedman who said the invasion of Iraq was "unquestionably worth doing," and other like-minded travelers would atone for what they had written and bear responsibility. I also felt and still feel that they should be stripped of their influential perches in our media landscape beset by ethical frailty and beset by intellectual dishonesty. The Iraq war was unquestionably a failure.
Stewart's questioning of Miller is righteous in the best sense of that term. Watch below.
A Home in Defence
New York- An image I shot back in 2008 in Karachi was employed to tell the tragic story of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl's disappearance and murder in the early days of the War on Terror. The programme, titled Witness: Remembering Daniel Pearl's murder aired on BBC on 17 February.
Pearl's gruesome beheading was a watershed moment in the post-9/11 period. More than two years on, the beheadings of Nick Berg in Iraq and Paul Johnson in Riyadh signaled a spate of horrific online violence where the internet became a conduit devoid of the most fundamental human dignity. With the recent beheading videos coming out of Syria, the Pearl case now in hindsight appears to have been a template, albeit a comparatively more elaborate plot, for the terror that was to come. Orchestrating such brazen executions in the cause of supposed 'defensive' jihad in salafi Islam seems to have become a norm.
I remember being gripped by the Pearl case after returning home from covering the war in Afghanistan and hoping against hope for a positive outcome. I'd done my university thesis in Pakistan in late 2000 which provided me with the last glimpse of the ummah before Afghanistan. I'd mixed with petty traders, warm tailors, drug dealing scoundrels with wild stories to tell from the frontier, gem stone smugglers, and gun runners. My memory of the country was fond. The hostage drama that unfolded had me reexamining my own experiences in the country.
Then in 2008 I walked in his and the plotters footsteps in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and Karachi to create the visual narrative for a report being done in Washington by a student group at Georgetown University. When it was finally published in January 2011, I barely had a moment to reflect upon it as the Arab uprisings were in full force, leading me to cover the war in Libya.
More of my images and the completed projected can be viewed in a free e-book called The Truth Left Behind: Inside the Kidnapping and Murder of Daniel Pearl.
When an Anniversary Becomes History
Barcelona- Today is just another 9/11 anniversary it seems. On twitter, everyone is consumed by Obama's speech last night vowing to "destroy" the so-called caliphate of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The brutality of al-Qaeda has been rhetorically lessened with foolish tracts saying that Ayman al-Zawahiri disowned Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's movement because AQ 1.0 was put off by IS's even harsher methods as if there has been a collective forgetting of what al-Qaeda and its allies have done over the years. This is an absurd assertion.
The split is based more on divisive interpretations of salafi ideology, a supreme contest of egos within a very violent subculture, and plain envy. Bin Laden was not primarily a takfiri (one who maintains the authority to declare lesser Muslims or minorities within its reach 'apostates') but in his alliance with the Deobandi Taliban he was simultaneously focused on both the near and far enemies. Baghdadi has thus far been more narrowly focused in constructing his personality cult whereby the desired targets of IS's aggression are the Shia and other related sects and those affiliated with regional regimes they deem worthy of death. To say one group is more 'brutal' than the other is a futile comparison. It is far more about the ebb and flow on the centers of power within trends in global militancy than a zero sum game.
Here in Barcelona, it's Onze de Setembre (National Day of Catalonia), a celebration of Catalan martyrdom that is experienced as hyper localized nationalism. Drums beat, scooters beep and a rivalry in the heart of the first world rages on.
To me, it is simply 9/11.
For a solid decade I would return from wherever I was in the world to New York to document the goings on at the World Trade Center which for many years was referred to simply as 'Ground Zero.' For all of the anniversaries I attended in order to document, I did so without accreditation except for the final one–the 10th–when I applied for permission from the Bloomberg administration to photograph the two visiting presidents. That last few years since the 2011 shoot, I haven't returned to the World Trade Center.
Yesterday here in Catalunya it was in fact the furthest thing from my mind as I hung out with friends at the beach in Barceloneta. Nor did I think about the assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud either. Things that I have felt and witnessed and people I once knew who have died have since been enveloped into history as once so viscerally palpable anniversaries have often morphed into more ordinary days as the healing current of time passes by.
We often think of history in a linear form comprised of a 365 day year based on the Gregorian calendar with momentous anniversaries in one-year increments up until the 5th year and in five year increments thereafter (and later potentially being noted in 10 year increments) i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th anniversaries being momentous and then culminating (for now) at the 10th which forms a time capsule known as a 'decade.'
But for the people directly affected, is today's 13th anniversary any less significant than the 1st back in 2002, the 5th in 2006 or the 10th in 2011? History as we live it is a living, breathing organism. Time never does stand still. I may be in the fever of minority linguistic politics here along the western Mediterranean as if Franco died yesterday but I cannot escape the track in which the events that day 13 years ago defined the course of my adult life. Though I no longer rush back to New York to document the day, it will forever remain in my aching heart.
Out the Window
Barcelona- After an egregiously long sabbatical in the chunky, 'polar vortex' torn streets of NYC, I finally made it back across the Atlantic. I put plans for returning to Iraq's Green Line and Ukraine's chaotic Donbas region on hold for the time being to work on a couple of armchair pieces. As a perennial freelancer, sometimes a sure thing outpaces an unsafe bet and so I'm remaining in the West for the moment.
I brought loads of prints over to do some more photo walls as I had been doing the previous month in Long Island City. In my original idea conceived in 2000-2001, I had wanted to plaster prints up on either side of the Euro-Atlantic community to pique interest in the historical juncture of Central-South Asia in order to bring attention to that region's political maelstrom by appealing to the public with its beauty. Such was not to be.
As I've alluded to in prior posts, those plans were imediately tosed out the window after 9/11 because it was going to involve obtaining an Islamic Emirate visa for Afghanistan which was immediately unrealistic despite my efforts of reaching out to members of the Taliban in Peshawar, Pakistan and Flushing, Queens just before the attacks.
Now well over a decade on, I hope to close that loop albeit under far different circumstances. Below I've posted snapshots of my final two projects in the U.S. Hope to do some new ones here very soon…

Young church member delivers food, good will
Five years ago, Kyle Matheis delivered his first sack of bread and bagels to the Erie City Mission.
Those are two of the breakfast items that Lake Erie Christian Fellowship Church, where Matheis is a member, offers to its congregation after Sunday services. Leftovers are immediately destined for the mission, where they are put to good use, helping to feed the hungry.
Matheis had volunteered to be the good Samaritan delivery person one week when senior pastor Bryan Kowalczyk needed someone to make the trip. Weeks spent performing the task turned into months. Months turned into years.
Now, those Sunday deliveries from the Millcreek Township church to the mission on French Street in downtown Erie are almost second nature to Matheis. If the 28-year-old can't make the trip, he makes sure there's a proxy.
Such weeks, though, are rare.
"I just decided that it's something I really like to do," Matheis said. "It's a good feeling knowing you're helping to feed someone who's gone without food. It's better than having it sit in the trash can or some dumpster."
Matheis graduated from Fort LeBoeuf High School in 2004. He's worked as a machinist at Modern Industries for two years and has been a member of Lake Erie Christian for six.
Kowalczyk said it didn't take long for Matheis to make a name for himself when he became a regular at the church. Kowalczyk lauded Matheis for his willingness to seek opportunities to help others, rather than sitting back and waiting for them to happen.
"That's really who Kyle is," Kowalczyk said. "He's been helping us out for several years. He's one of the most selfless people that I know, and I guess doing these (weekly trips to the mission) just backs that up. He's a smart dude, too."
Matheis serves as a sound technician for Lake Erie Christian. He'll also do the odd maintenance job around the property.
In addition to deliveries to the mission, Matheis volunteers with Lake Erie Christian's youth groups and outreach programs at local nursing homes.
"What really drives me," Matheis said, "is doing what I can to make others feel like they matter. I like to make them feel like they're not alone, and that they're not the only ones who are struggling."
How long does Matheis see himself making such Sunday deliveries for the church?
"Indefinitely," he said. "As long as they need to be done -- let's put it that way."

How to Avoid those Holiday Photo 'Faux Pas' – Interview with John David Breen, A leading authority on personal style

Oil, gas lobby gets it wrong
I agree with oil lobby chief Jack Gerard's message that energy is fundamental to our lives and that American innovation can make us a leader in global energy production.
We need energy, all forms of it, but Mr. Gerard fails to tell us that his organization's goal is to keep us limited to their fossil fuel monopoly, while exhausting all legal, regulatory and political means to destroy any energy sources which compete with oil and gas.
I'm not sure how Mr. Gerard keeps a straight face when he says government and elected officials need not disrupt the "free" market of energy when the American Petroleum Institute spent more than $6 million in 2013 lobbying for pro-oil and gas policy from our government and those same elected officials. Mr. Gerard knows all too well that American oil and gas production cannot supply our domestic energy demand alone — not even close — and that renewable fuels such as ethanol are supplying 14 billion gallons of our finished fuel supply today. He knows oil and gas companies don't care about lowering gas prices, which is why he is in Washington, D.C., lobbying to lift the oil export ban for his members so they can export this "abundance" of new oil production overseas.
If Mr. Gerard was truthful when he says America needs to be self-sufficient, he would stop efforts to block competition for alternative fuels, stop lobbying to lift oil export bans and advocate for a true American energy revolution where American innovation can develop all types of fuels, including renewable fuels.
It's time that Mr. Gerard, API and the oil and gas industry stop trying to pull the wool over our eyes by telling us that all we need, and ever will need, is fossil fuels for our energy needs.

2014 Ram Trucks 1500 Outdoorsman 5.7 Hemi from North America
Awesome truck, some things could be better, but can live with them and would definitely buy again
Absolutely nothing. Have had a couple of recalls to recalibrate the airbag sensors and adjust a wiring harness location, and some optional software updates. Other than that I have never needed it serviced beyond the basic maintenance.
General Comments:
I love this truck. It has been extremely reliable and I have never worried about getting stranded driving it long distances. It's taken my wife and I to 25 states in the last 18 months. The most recent trip included towing a 7000 lb cargo trailer from Chicago to Austin and back (return trip was empty trailer at 2300 lb) which it did without any problems even on Oklahoma's god awful roads.
The truck has plenty of power, the seats are extremely comfortable for long distance driving, the highway fuel economy is 20 MPG, interior and exterior styling is top notch, there's really not much to complain about. The only 3 downsides are city fuel economy of 12-13 MPG, which is much lower than the EPA rated 15 MPG, the soft rear suspension, and the low seating position. They put a really soft suspension to give it a smooth ride, but now the truck struggles to do work, and the rear end sags a lot under loads that it should be able to handle. I've considered getting aftermarket air-bag spring assists. And the dash is set too high in the cab, I'm short at 5'8" and have the seat height adjustment maxed out just to see out over the hood the way I'd like.
I do think they should have done something differently regarding the transmission tunnel hump in the cab, there is a huge space for the transfer case that eats into the area in the passenger footwell and restricts your ability to move around and get more comfortable during a long trip.
I like the upgraded dashboard option, it's large and can be set up to give you all the information you'd want (coolant, oil and transmission temps, tire pressures, oil life, odometers, fuel economy, etc...). The auto-dimming mirrors are a must have too, they work really well. Backup camera is very useful in tight quarters, but parking sensors are annoying. I leave them turned off otherwise they beep constantly entering/exiting my garage, in the drive thru, in front of a pedestrian crosswalk, pretty much anywhere that something passes within 8 feet of the bumper.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

" Riding a CCC gave me time to reflect on a lot of things in my life….Was it worth doing ? You bet it was !, and I would do it again in a heart beat !! Thank you Phil. I look at things [cycling ] a little differently now and I think so will some of the other guys!! Your events really prove that we are capable of doing a lot more than we think we can!!! I will be back." (CCC rider, Cevennes 2015).
If you are thinking of registering for a Cent Cols Challenge, please take time to read through all the information on this site. These events have been called "life-changing" by many, a description that has not been chosen randomly!
Events for 2016 about to ride :
>> CCC Dolomiti : 29 August to 8 September (riding days) Total Ascent = 51,300 metres
>> CCC Pyrenees : 14 – 24 September (riding days) Total Ascent = 50,700 metres
For 2017 : see the "Ride of a Thousand Cols" page for details of the exceptional choice of CCC events, AND NEW PRICING
" I find these events go way beyond physical capabilities. You need to engage a mental attitude on par with the road ahead of you. Never expect or accept an easy option." CCC rider Pyrenees 2014. " Undertaking the CCC Sothern Alps (both the training and riding the event itself) has been a bit of a game changer for me. It really did challenge me, highlighting my weaknesses and limitations as a cyclist but at the same time it has given me great confidence and deepened my passion for the sport." CCC S Alps rider 2015.
" a CCC is not a souvenir magnet to fix on your fridge to show off, it's a complete inner experience which only a few will manage to complete and fully understand. CCC does not happen outwards, it's all inwards."
" The size of the field (15- 30 riders) and the half dozen staff means that by day three or so everybody knows everybody's name and you really feel part of a close friendly group, trying to help everyone succeed. The organiser and his team have set it all up so well for us, without them, such a challenge would be impossible. We have done so many climbs, some were a breeze, some an almighty struggle and as with all the Cent Cols routes it's the previously unknown climbs that highlight a day or the back roads we take. The event is so intense you have no time off the bike for anything other than to eat, sleep, endeavour to stay awake during the nightly briefing!" CCC rider 2014.
" Phils' infectious passion for the incomparable beauty and power of nature is an inspiration. This event proved to each of us how following your dream can ultimately bring fulfilment and success." CCC S Alps rider 2015.
HARD IN THE ARDENNES Ride & Race-watch : Up to eight days of riding held every year in the second half of April.

The Joy Formidable among new concert announcements for Turner
A concert with Welsh rock trio the Joy Formidable is one of four shows announced Tuesday morning for Turner Hall Ballroom.
News of the Joy Formidable U.S. tour, which includes the April 9 show at Turner Hall Ballroom (1040 N. 4th St.), arrives on the same day as the release of its excellent sophomore album "Wolf's Law." (Look for a review later today on Tap Milwaukee, and tomorrow in the Journal Sentinel.) Frontwoman Ritzy Bryan talked a bit about the new album, and an adventure she had at the Safe House, in a video interview with Tap Milwaukee last year backstage at Summerfest.

Violent Femmes bassist Brian Ritchie remembers Lou Reed's influence
Arguably the Milwaukee band that's had the largest influence on rock music is the Violent Femmes.

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. »Read Full Article(20)
Bel Canto Chorus, MSO join for night of sacred music
The Bel Canto Chorus and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra joined forces at Christ King Parish in Wauwatosa on Saturday for a colorful evening of two 20th-century sacred works.
Bel Canto music director Richard Hynson led the combined ensembles in thoughtful, moving performances of Duruflé's "Requiem," from 1947, and Poulenc's "Gloria," which premiered in 1961. »Read Full Article
Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

Skip to comments.Google's Happy Veteran's Day
Posted on 11/11/2011 3:22:52 AM PST by Pollster1
Google remembered, which is a step in the right direction.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
No American flag, but at least they didn't ignore us completely.
Msn has the flag.
Call me a cynic, but I think they have a different agenda. My feeling is they believe we should leave Afghanistan, Iraq was unjust, and the service members are victims of failed policy.....specifically Bush policy.
Don't worry they'll make up for it by ignoring Pearl Harbor Day and D-Day.
The yellow ribbon is not pro-soldier. It's YELLOW for a reason.
Agreed, but even an insult is a step up from their usual total neglect.
What are you on about? It's a clear reference to "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'round the Old Oak Tree."
Ft. Benning, Ga, has a yellow ribbon tied around a tree on damn near every street. Go tell them it's not pro-soldier.
Young whipper snapper has no idea. Has he never seen a John Wayne movie?
It is almost an insult to our Cavalry soldiers to say it is 'anti-soldier' and imply the other 'yellow' meaning.
It's not pro-soldier.
A Yellow Ribbon says "run from your duty and come home!"
That is not the tune of a true trooper.
A true trooper comes home when duty is done.
They should fly a flag, light a candle in the window, or post a blue star. Something that is respectful of the duty of the trooper gone away. The yellow ribbon is a call to abandon a scary duty because it is scary.
No it doesn't, never has, never will. There are three main sources of the Yellow Ribbon when it comes to the Military. 1. From the British Navy when wives put yellow scarves outside their windows to welcome home sailors (so they can see it from the ship. 2. The Yellow Ribbons where the bandannas worn by cavalry solders and they would often give them to their wives and girl friends when they went off to battle (memorialized in John Wayne's movie She Wore a Yellow Ribbon). & 3. They were made more popular in the Iran hostage situation when people around the country put them out until the hostages were returned (part in part to the song making it popular). Since then, it has been a symbol that one has loved ones in combat and they are left out until they return. I see them all over Killeen for Ft Hood soldiers.
It has never symbolized running from your duty or cowardice, and frankly, considering the history of the relationship to US Cavalry regiments, it is an insult to even imply such.
I call as I see it. "She wore a yellow ribbon" was a movie, amigo.
There is no one so blind as one who refuses to see.
Numerous corrections and you still insist it simply MUST be the way you see it, not the way thousands of others throughout history have seen it.
Meaning is amorphous, but the meaning of a yellow ribbon tied around a tree is pretty clear from the historic context of the innumerable yellow ribbons put out in recognition of innumerable warriors - it is a civilian recognition that our forces are out there and we await their HONORABLE return.
it was a movie but they based that on old tradition.
I do not accept the history so claimed, what was linked to by mhering prior was a historical survey of a weak sort, designed to prove what it hoped could be proven.
I am telling you in my considered view that such displays produce a mindset of running away from duty rather than commitment to it.
When I was serving in Desert Storm, my mom tied a yellow ribbon around an Oak tree on her property. She was not in any way encouraging me to shirk my duty and I, as well as innumerable other warriors serving overseas, resent what you are attempting to say the act implies.
You do realize that the GI BIll is nicknamed the Yellow Ribbon Program.
The US Army also has what is known as Yellow Ribbon Rooms at their bases which are support posts for family members who have loved ones stationed over seas.
But don't let your view interfere with the reality of how our own soldiers see it. Just because Yellow only means one thing to you.
The US Army has many programs and events using the Yellow Ribbon, and none mean what you see.
Must be pretty sad, you drive around and see yellow ribbons and instead of feeling pride for those who are serving, you only think of cowardice.
My grandfather's yellow bandanna is tied around the flag given to my grandmother by honor guards at his funeral.
Yeoman's work there mnehring.
(1) I apologize for misspelling your handle in a prior post. Just to make sure I got it right here it is: "mnehring".
(2) Of course the GI Bill is nicknamed the Yellow Ribbon program, being as it is the entry point for many families into statist socialism. Socialism preys on victims, and with the "help me government" attitude of the Bonus Marchers and the rise of socialism in the US the elite and the eternal victim class in any society, the GI Bill was almost predetermined outcome.
For many in the military since, military service is a ticket to the lifetime of governmental gravy. Difficult for a while, but the long term defined benefits are considered worth it.
(3) For many, if not most, flying the yellow ribbon in the years since the Iranian Hostage Crisis it has meant only one thing "Bring 'Em Home Now!".
In a weird way.
You said, "Yeomans work there mnehring."
Did you know that a yeoman is by most common definition a freeman who must do the hard work on his own to run his own farm.
The Yeomen as a class are the ones who make up the militia, the armed citizenry. Not the paid professional military. When a YEOMAN goes to war, his family doesn't fly a yellow ribbon, they fly the stars and stripes.
You have a problem with a paid professional military?
Do Yeomen usually go to war as conscripts or volunteers in your mind?
Once they volunteer and are paid, are then not part of a paid professional military?
Evidence shows you know next to nothing about the military traditions of American families and are thus in a rather piss poor position to say what their acts do or do not symbolize.
Many had problems with a standing Army. Less so with a paid professional Navy.
I didn't ask what our founders view was - I asked what you had against a paid professional military.
Do you think America can and should do without one?
Do you think in modern warfare an amateur force would be sufficient to protect and defend these United States?
THAT is what our Nation's Founders had to fight both as part of and against. Some of greatest military officers of the Revolution had been part of the British military in the wars prior to the Revolution. So great was their fully understandable fear of a standing military, that the Articles of Confederation did not have the ability to raise one of any consequence.
Out of that post Revolutionary experience, under the Articles of Confederation, the founding generation learned that we needed a standing professional army and navy, but even then it was always kept small, lean and even at times impoverished. THAT is our heritage, and it is so for good reason.
Your ignorance is obviously only matched by your intransigence in insisting upon your meaning despite numerous well sourced corrections.
Being separated by two oceans doesn't mean what it used to.
As part of their Joining Forces initiative, first lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden will serve as grand marshals for the Sprint Cup Series season-finale Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. NASCAR, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden will recognize service members and military families from the local community in pre-race ceremonies and at a special BBQ lunch and will also invite a military family to join them as they lead the pre-race ceremony and offer the command for drivers to start their engines.Answer me! Just who do the tyrants most desire and compete for the support of?
Citizens or Professional Military?
What does this NASCAR news blurb today tell us?
We were never separated by two oceans as our pre-nationhood and early nationhood wars in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean show. As well as the Indian Wars.
Your subsequent rants have little to do with you being absolutely 100% wrong about what a yellow ribbon means.
But your anti-military stance helps to explain your abject ignorance on the subject quite well.
You have used the phrase "abject ignorance" again and again. The use of that phrase seems to be the pinnacle, the apex, the acme, that is the ultimate argument you have.
You are hung up on it. I'll tell you now (right now, listen!) what your subconscious means by it.
You mean you object to what I have said. You find it objectional simply and only because it does not fit the facts as your would like them to be, magically.
You object to facts differing from what you would like the world and history to have been. And you subconsciously recognize that making such a personal choice keeps you ignorant. Object ignorance.
Your subconscious understands exactly what you are doing and has commented upon it.
Sorry, FRiend, but I can accept no fees for this charity. Your subconscious will thank me.
You had the opportunity to learn what people in the military think of yellow ribbons, and what their family members mean when they put out yellow ribbons, what Military Bases mean when they put out yellow ribbons - but you chose to wallow in your own ignorance rather than learn.
What can be said of such abject and willful ignorance?
That I have a total lack of respect for it, as well as your shitty anti U.S. military attitude.
The rest of the nation chose to thank me for my service today.
You chose this day to besmirch the military and their families and to continue on in abject ignorance.
Hell of a choice there child.

Welcome live Collin
Hi amber!
Steph that's awesome. My car is 6 yrs old so I am sure it's not smart like that! Lol. But I am getting a new car this year. Any suggestions?
Basil glad I am not the only one!!!
Kari I missed all this about a letter I will have to go bk and read after lunch! Will be back later. Gotta return to the real world for a little while! Lol

"Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you." - H. Jackson Brown
Sorry I was MIA - The flu hit my house, bigtime. I was still recovering yesterday. I totally won "mom of the year" on wednesday. The little guy has stayed healthy....so DH took him to daycare, so it was me and the 3 yr old. I gave him the iPad and he played on that until he woke me up at about 1pm saying he was hungry. I was out of bed long enough to make him Mac n cheese and tell him it was nap time, and we both slept till DH and Tater got home at about 5pm.
I'm at work today - but barely. I kinda feel like I was hit by a truck still and I have locked myself in my office. At least I don't have to listen to my dog bark at the plow truck repeatedly.

mindsdream I'm sorry you have been sick.
Crissy basically my oldest wants to go to a concert but dad won't give her the money.So I told her that her little sister is going without somethings to pay her dad the child support and the least he could do was give her the money to go.Then I also told her I wouldn't expect any less of him not to give her the money. He doesn't want her having money because he knows the minute she turns 18 she will leave.
We just finished lunch chicken nuggets and broccoli mixed into homemade mac/cheese
My little miracle Kalyssa
One more piece missing in the puzzle to complete the picture.
Mindsdream-you got do whatcha gotta do sometimes! Mac & chs & the iPad was probably so much fun for him. It is sooo hard taking care of kids when you're sick! Glad you're on the mend.
Let's see. DS is on the couch watching cartoons. He kept 4 crackers down for the past hour. Yay! DD is in the tub. LO & I are playing w/ a car ramp outside the bathroom. She wants to get on w/ DD but lately she wants to get right back out & we did that yesterday.
If he actually used the money on the kids I wouldn't mind but he doesn't.But he better enjoy while he can once my older turns 18 in June I am asking for a change in amount.
I think we are about to take a nap here.
My little miracle Kalyssa
One more piece missing in the puzzle to complete the picture.
Welcome newbies!!
Mindsdream hope you get better soon.
Kari I hope the letter doesnt cause too much of an issue. Sucks lo has to go without so you can pay child support that he wont give a little bit to the girls.
Crissy enjoy lunch.
Steph you need full protective gear.
Basil glad your son was able to hold down crackers. Vomit is no fun. I dread the days when lo gets pukey with real food. I can do poop all day long but not vomit.
Im sitting in the mall parking lot while lo sleeps. Fridays are always screwy for us. I try to stay away from the house during the day friday so dh can sleep in peace.
Hey guys! Steph, Sophie gets that diaper rash with every acidic thing you can think of- watermelon, tomatos sauce, and strawberries. The ped said to keep introducing a little at a time, but I have been bad about doing that. Hate seeing her couch and tush all red!
Basil- I wish you had some help! Sounds like a lot of work. i hope the kids get to feeling better soon.
My lil man was a crazy dude this morning,running around being silly,yelling. It was cute till then "end" when he would do lil melt downs n I said "oh I think it's nap time" went down at 1030am.
Then grocery shopping when he wakes up. Did two loads of laundry,on the third now.
I love candles making my house smell good. Even found my oil burners and my brown sugar n fig oil from years ago lol what happens when u move 2 weeks before having a baby!! Stuff gets shoved everywhere
Crissy, I love Corner Bakery :) Enjoy!
Kari- that is such a tough situation! I can relate being on the other end of the scenario since my parents were divorced. You ex sounds like such a jerk! My mom would talk crap about my dad while growing up which I sometimes wish she hadn't. Luckily, we learned it for ourselves much later on.
Star- I hope your dad is ok!

The Pittsburgh Pirates enter the 2013 season looking to improve upon the exciting, yet ultimately disappointing campaigns of 2011 and 2012.
Despite promising first halves in two consecutive seasons, the Bucs find themselves looking at 20 consecutive losing seasons due to poor play down the stretch.
The Pirates have a rather volatile roster this year, and this team definitely has enough talent to end the organizational losing streak. But the Bucs are filled with volatile players, and whether those players play up to expectations will determine the team's eventual success.
