Antique 17th Century Mughal Rug 8036
This antique Lahore carpet fragment from India consists of shrubs or floral sprays simply juxtaposed across a magenta-red ground.
2 ft 11 in (0.89 m)
3 ft 11 in (1.19 m)
Rare and Collectible, Antique 17th Century Mughal (Mogul) Carpet Fragment, Country of Origin: Lahore, India, Circa: 17th Century – A superb example of the classic carpet weaving in Northern India under the great Mughal Dynasty, this fragment consists of shrubs or floral sprays simply juxtaposed across a magenta-red ground. Originally the carpet would have been much larger, with all the flowers oriented vertically and symmetrically. The fragment now combines these shrubs in different directions, imparting a new, dynamic quality to the composition. The drawing of the flowers is highly naturalistic and probably reflects the influence of Dutch flower painting and botanical drawing, which was highly prized in the Mughal court. The green-ground border with its carnation vinescroll nicely complements the red-ground field. The rich palette with the contrasting effect of red versus different shades of green, gold, and white, is typical of such carpets from Lahore or Kashmir.
This Rug is Part of Nazmiyal's Early Period Rugs & Important Antique Carpets Collection.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Region: Southwest
Topic: Compost and Mulch, Planting, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Flowers for sandy soil and sun in Wharton Co., TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Wharton County. I am looking for flowers to plant in beds that have sandy soil and are well drained. The area receives sun all day until 5-6 in the afternoon. I would like to have flowers that would bloom much of the spring and summer since it wraps around the entire patio.
Having sandy, well-drained soil is refreshing to us after many questions about poorly-draining clay soils. However, we caution you that your soil might drain too well, so a little advance preparation, adding some compost or other organic matter, will not only enrich the soil but help the roots to tap into the nutrients and get sufficient moisture from that soil.
We are going to go to our Recommended Species section, click on South Texas on the map, and select plants that bloom in different times of the season to satisfy your request for bloom much of the Spring and Summer. We will select on "herb" (herbaceous blooming plant") for Habit or General Appearance, "sun" for Light Requirements and first "annual" and then "perennial" for Duration. The reason for the last selection is that it is a little late to plant seeds for annuals this year, as they are ordinarily planted in late Fall in this part of the world. You might be able to purchase bedding plants for annuals, so you will have some bloom from them this year, but if you wish to seed, you will have to wait until next year to enjoy those plants. Perennials do not bloom until the second year, either, unless you can purchase year-old bedding plants for them. Many of these plants will bloom even longer than indicated if they are watered. We found 10 annuals for your area and 19 perennials, from which we have made some selections. You may use the same search procedure to look at more options.
Of course, our selections will all be plants native to your area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is committed to the care, protection and propagation of plants native not only to North America, but to the area in which those plants are being grown. If you have difficulty finding plants, go to our National Supplier's Directory, type in your town and state in the Enter Search Location box, and you will get a list of native plant seed suppliers, nurseries and landscape and environment specialists in your general area.

Customer Reviews
New update takes 1 step forward, 2 steps back
So with this new update, we get "High Definition" video recording but all this did was allow wide video format when saving the videos. The quality is garbage though. I think it's actually worse than 480p... it's so pixelated, it might as well be 240p. Not only that but now it turns my phone into a substantial heat generator. It looks like this app uses every 100% of my phones CPU/GPU, draining the battery insanely fast. I have an iPhone 7 Plus... I went from 80% battery to 35% in under 30 minutes. I can't imagine what it would do to older/smaller phones.
Has a variety within each category. Wish it came with more categories in the beginning. The "how to play" is even fun!
Heads up By ELLEN
This game is a BLAST. Even though I don't know half of the stuff on there. It is still so fun me and my friends there and play at me laugh every single time we each do it way to go Ellen love it!!

Happy Halloween 2014! Just a few more months to go!
All Hallow's Eve 2014 - this is my favourite time of the year - dark, misty nights, the scent of leaves and wood burning in the air and the mystical, magical, slightly spooky feeling! Kids and adults dressed in costumes, with candy and parties to make it festive.
This year our favorite spooky holiday will fall on Friday, October 31st, the same date every year, and is also known as Samhain.
Another name for this festival is All Hallow's Eve.
This is because November 1st is known as All Hallow's Day and November 2nd is All Soul's Day.
November 1st is sometimes called the Day of the Dead and is a time in which many cultures show respect for those who have passed on by visiting graveyards with gifts and offering up prayers for the departed souls.
Samhain is considered by many as the most important Sabbat or Festival for the Wiccan community and Halloween 2014 will be no exception!
Soul Cakes have been around for centuries.
These sweet, warm cakes were usually given out at Halloween night to singers and entertainers who called door to door – the original trick or treating!
They were also used to pay travellers and beggars who visited houses on All Hallow's Eve offering to say prayers for family members who had departed this life.
The ancient history surrounding these little cakes makes them all the more tasty.
It's pretty essential to eat these while they're still warm, maybe with a little butter or whatever takes your fancy on the night of Halloween 2014...
Makes approx. 12 delicious Soul Cakes
For the glazing:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Mix together the flour, spices, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly by hand or with a mixer.
Crush the saffron threads into a saucepan and warm gently over a low heat until you can just get their scent – do not burn or singe! Add the milk and heat just enough to warm.
Cream together the softened butter and sugar. Mix in the egg yolks. Finally, add the flour and spices and blend well. The dough will be stiff at this point.
Add the milk a spoonful at a time mixing well each time. When the dough is soft, stop.
Flour a board and knead the dough until smooth. This will take a few minutes. Roll to about 1/2 inch thick and cut 2 inch round cookies. If you don't have a cookie cutter, a drinking glass might work fine.
Place on a dry baking sheet, decorate with raising, and then brush with egg yolk.
Bake for 10 minutes or so until lightly browned.
Serve the Soul Cakes warm with apple cider, mulled wine, or your favorite Halloween punch.
For Halloween 2014, we just had to include a recipe for Irish Barmbrack. This yummy fruit bread/cake is centuries old and traditionally eaten at Samhain. Various items are placed in the brack, foretelling what the coming year will bring for the recipient of that piece.
A pea or bean to denote no marriage in the year.
A matchstick to foretell domestic disharmony!
A silver sixpence would bring good fortune to the lucky person.
A piece of cloth to indicate poverty or ill luck.
A ring to foretell marriage within the year.
A thimble to show spinsterhood.
A button to show bachelorhood.
The 'special lucky' ingredients:
a pea, matchstick, coin, small piece of cloth, ring, thimble, button
Wrap each 'lucky' item carefully in greaseproof/wax paper.
The secret to making a Barm Brack is the soaking of fruit overnight in the tea. Add the sugar and egg to the fruit mix the next day. Sift in the remaining dry ingredients. Mix very gently. Stir in the wrapped 'lucky' items and try to distribute them evenly. Use a 7" round baking tin at 350°F for 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
The Barm Brack can be made up to a week in advance and stored in an air-tight container – it actually tastes much better this way!. Traditionally served spread with pure butter and a hot cup of tea – delicious!
Why not take a look at Magical Spell Bottles as well - just to get in the mood for Halloween!
~ On Halloween 2014, the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead are at their thinnest and this is the most opportune time to try to make contact with those who have passed on…
~ On All Hallow's Eve, all the Fairy forts, dwellings, mounds and hills are flung wide open and their occupants, all members of the Fairy Kingdom come forth and wander all over, sometimes causing grave mishief. Only the foolish or the bold venture out after dark on All Hallow's Eve.
~ An old belief is that all souls in Pergatory are let out for two days at Halloween 2014. Watch your back!
~ If a bat flies into the house at this time of year, it indicates that there are ghosts around.
~ Everyone in the household should place stones with their own personal marks into the Halloween 2014 fire. These need to be be retrieved from the ashes of the fire on November 1st - if your stone is undamaged it's a sign of luck for the coming 12 months. If damaged or not found in the ashes, this indicates a spell of misfortune.
~ To find out who your future husband will be, stand in front of a mirror at midnight, light two candles and start brushing your hair. The ghost of your sweetheart will appear in the glass.
~ Spiders in the house on the night of Halloween 2014 indicate that the spirit of a loved one is watching over you from the other side. Be kind to that spider!
~ Walking around the outside of your home counterclockwise and backwards before the sun sets on All Hallow's Eve is said to protect against negative entities and souls. It will also make you quite dizzy...
~ Another tradition regarding marriage is to place a sprig of fresh rosemary and a silver coin under your pillow on the night of October 31st. Your future partner is reputed to appear in your dreams.
~ Placing a black candle in each window of the house at Halloween is an ancient Irish custom, believed to protect the occupants from the dead wandering around outside. It must be allowed to burn down completely – not to be blown out, for this is considered the height of ill luck. Note: If following this Samhain tradition, please make sure to place lighted candles in safe, fire-proof containers, away from fabrics, draughts, children and pets! Be careful and responsible!
~ If you're out for a stroll on Samhain night and hear footsteps behind you, never look back to see who it is - if it's a spirit, superstition says you may soon be joining it on it's nightly wanderings.
~ In many Celtic countries, plates of food are left out on Halloween night, both for the Dead and the Fairies that are surely out and about this most magical of nights. Why not try it this Samhain?
~ If a candle goes out suddenly or the flame turns blue on Samhain, beware, there's a ghost about…
~ Crossroads have always had significant other-worldly properties in Ireland, for they are the places that ghosts are frequently seen and heard at any time of the year. However, at Samhain, if one journeys to a crossroads, it is likely the wind will tell you all you need to know for the following twelve months.
~ Hawthorn trees and bushes are to be avoided on October 31st, for the chance of becomed 'bewitched' near these plants is very high.
~ The traditional Jack-o-Lantern lit at All Hallow's Eve is specifically to keep ghosts, ghouls and other worrisome things away.

From About.com
I remember this one from my childhood – yikes! On Halloween 2014, have jars filled with the following shocking items, dim the lights very low, and dare everyone at the party to stick their hand into the jar and guess what's in it. Of course, be as fiendish and ghoulish as you like…
Dim the lights, gather everyone in a circle on the floor, with a small flashlight in the centre. One person starts the first sentence of the Scary Scary Story. Each person adds a sentence or two going around the circle at least once. Try our chilling suggestions for a beginning line:
"It was late one fall in Halloweenland, and the air had quite a chill.
Against the moon a skeleton sat, alone upon a hill.
He was tall and thin with a bat bow tie;
Jack Skellington was his name.
He was tired and bored in Halloweenland -
Everything was always the same..."

Surface Preparation
The surfaces to be glued should be clean and free from dust, grease and other contaminants. At least one of the materials must be porous. Roughen non-porous surfaces to give a key for the adhesive. To assist cure and achieve maximum bond strength, slightly moisten one surface with a damp cloth. Do not over wet.
Cartridge Products: Cut tip of cartridge taking care not to damage the thread. Fix nozzle, cut to required aperture and apply using standard sealant gun. Liquid version: Remove cap, cut spout and apply. Replace cap after use. Wearing of gloves is recommended. Apply adhesive evenly to one surface. If necessary, cover large areas with a fine toothed spreader. Assemble parts IMMEDIATELY and clamp for duration of cure (5-30 minutes at 20oc; longer at lower temperatures). After this time, the joint may be easily handled. Full and final bond strength will be achieved after 30 minutes for 5 minute set or 24 hours for 30 minute set. NOTE: These products foam slightly on application to fill small gaps. Any excess foam/adhesive must be removed with acetone before the product sets or with a sharp chisel once set.

More on IBM-Kenexa: The acquisition is notable given IBM, a major provider of "infrastructure" software such as databases, systems management, and middleware, has tread cautiously in application software, out of fear of disturbing partnerships. Not everyone expected Big Blue to respond to SAP and Oracle's cloud HR moves in kind. The Kenexa deal speaks of the growth opportunity IBM sees in cloud application software, and the increasing willingness of IT giants to step on each others' toes to pursue growth.

This paper (and thanks, Kimberley, for sending it) from the National Bureau of Economic Research says a little boost in family income has an amazing effect on children in that family. That's especially true for children facing behavioral or mental health challenges.

But what do they want to do about it? That's a little tougher. Average-wage earners aren't crazy about the prospect of low-wage earners leap-frogging over them.
Raise the minimum wage high enough, though, and you begin to move low-wage workers reasonably close to average-wage workers. That's something the average-wage people aren't especially wild about. And the point at which you cross into dicey territory may come around $15 per hour.

Just look at the example of Minn. Gov. Mark Dayton, who taxes the rich and raised the state's minimum wage, and now? The state's economy is pretty healthy, thanks.
The Dayton family ain't hurting too bad, either.
And thanks, Jac, for the link.

The Taste of 'Cane'
Amy Corr
, Staff Writer
, September 17, 2007, 4:30 PM
CBS wants potential viewers to get the flavor of its upcoming series "Cane." That flavor happens to taste like rum -- fake rum.
The network placed a print ad in the Sept. 7 issue of
Rolling Stone
without series stars Jimmy Smits, Hector Elizondo, Nestor Carbonell and Rita Moreno. Creative features a flavor strip that tastes like Lucia Duque Gold rum, a faux brand prominently featured in the series. The ad, developed by the CBS Marketing Group and Initiative Media, also drives readers to a
Web site
housing background info on the series and a contest to find the next Duque Rum girl. Entrants can upload their picture and a reason why they have what it takes to be the Duque Rum girl. Five finalists will win a cameo appearance on the show.
The flavor strip, designed to taste like a lime mojito sans alcohol, comes in a tamper-resistant packet developed by First Flavor.
The strip looks like those Listerine breath strips, but the taste is nowhere near as overwhelming. It also doesn't effortlessly melt in your mouth. The flavor left, but a portion of the strip remained.
"We wanted to transform the fictional product into the world of reality," said George Schweitzer, president of the CBS Marketing Group.
Schweitzer also said that
Rolling Stone
was selected as the sole publication for the ad to appear based on the mag's audience and environment.
The ad would have been a natural fit in
Entertainment Weekly
as well.
What interests me most about the three-page ad, aside from not including the shows' stars, is how little I learned about the new series. I can deduce only so much from the series title and if I didn't work in this industry, I doubt I would have realized that this brand of rum only exists on TV.
This ad is the first of its kind that I've seen that includes an edible flavor strip, but it's not the first time that an imaginary brand has been used to promote a TV series or movie.
HBO created
four fake brands
to promote the latest season of "Big Love," and teaser cinema ads ran prior to the opening of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" promoting Lacuna, the memory-erasing product featured in the film.

Realize the source of your rights
An Ohio Supreme Court justice arrived in Tiffin Wednesday for an overnight stay. Justice Sharon Kennedy, elected to fill an unexpired term on the high court in 2012, is running for a full term this year.
Kennedy is to address The Constitution, Liberty, and Order class taught at Tiffin University this morning. The course examines conflicts between individual liberties and social order under our constitutional system, and remarks by the justice during a Wednesday meeting of a local service group indicate the students will benefit from her visit.
Kennedy noted for the club's members the U.S. Constitution does not grant rights to Americans. Some citizens may not realize how the Founding Fathers perceived these rights, a perception reflected in how the document was crafted.
Indeed, the Bill of Rights does not contain the words "granted" or "bestowed" or "allowed."
Instead, it uses phrases such as "Congress shall make no law …" and "… shall not be infringed" as well as "The right of the people to be secure … shall not be violated. …"
The Ninth Amendment even states, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
This is because the rights mentioned in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution are ours by virtue of our humanity. Those who believe in our Creator may even consider these rights to be God-given.
The Constitution does not confer these rights. It does state they cannot be taken away by Congress.
That's an important distinction to bear in mind whenever discussion concerning "constitutional rights" arises.

(AP Photo/Richard Drew) (Newser) – The year's top travel writer is a familiar face, but more so for acting than writing. Andrew McCarthy of Brat Pack fame (yes, Molly Ringwald's true love in Pretty in Pink) has won the 2010 Lowell Thomas award for Travel Journalist of the Year, notes Jim Romenesko's blog at PoynterOnline. McCarthy's freelance articles have appeared in National Geographic Traveler, Bon Appetit, Afar, and the Atlantic, among others. (His piece on Ireland in the latter is here.) "Word by word, paragraph-by-paragraph, entry-by-entry, McCarthy earns the gold the old-fashioned way—by treating readers to excellent writing and poignant stories," declared the judges.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" also stars Katherine Waterston ("Steve Jobs," "Inherent Vice") as Tina; Tony Award winner Dan Fogler ("The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee") as Jacob; Alison Sudol ("Dig," "Transparent") as Tina's sister, Queenie; Ezra Miller ("Trainwreck") as Credence; two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton ("In America," "Sweet and Lowdown") as Mary Lou; Oscar winner Jon Voight ("Coming Home," TV's "Ray Donovan") as Henry Shaw, Sr.; Ron Perlman (the "Hellboy" films) as Gnarlack; Carmen Ejogo ("Selma") as Seraphina; Jenn Murray ("Brooklyn") as Chastity; young newcomer Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty; and Colin Farrell ("True Detective") as Percival Graves.
The film marks the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, whose beloved Harry Potter books were adapted into the top-grossing film franchise of all time. Her script was inspired by the Hogwarts textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, written by her character Newt Scamander.
The film reunites a number of people from the "Harry Potter" features, including producers David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram.
Collaborating with Yates behind the scenes are: Oscar-winning director of photography Philippe Rousselot ("A River Runs Through It," the "Sherlock Holmes" movies), three-time Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig ("The English Patient," "Dangerous Liaisons," "Gandhi," the "Harry Potter" films), three-time Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood ("Chicago," "Memoirs of a Geisha," "Alice in Wonderland"), Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Tim Burke ("Gladiator," the "Harry Potter" films), Oscar-nominated visual effects supervisor Christian Manz ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"), and Yates' longtime editor Mark Day (the last four "Harry Potter" films).
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is being filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, which was home to the "Harry Potter" films for a decade. Some scenes were also shot on location in Liverpool, England.
Warner Bros. Pictures has slated "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" for worldwide release in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX on November 18, 2016.

What Is the Official Trampoline of the Olympics?by
The individual trampoline event became an official Olympic sport at the 2000 Olympic Games held in Sydney, Australia. USA Gymnastics added trampoline events to its purview one year prior, in 1999. Competitors complete three routines in Olympic competition, each of which have 10 elements. Rules call for performing these elements continuously without hesitating or making any straight jumps. Like any piece of official Olympic equipment, the trampoline must meet certain equipment requirements.
The official trampoline for the Olympic games is one that meets the technical regulations set by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique, or FIG. This includes the size requirement. The official-size trampoline is 16.5682 feet long, 9.54724 feet wide and 3.78937feet high. Other organizations, such as USA Gymnastics, also follow FIG standards for competitions.
Bed Specifications
The bed that the gymnasts jump on must be constructed of nylon or string material. It is about 6 mm, or .24 inches, thick. The bed is required to have a tension that stabilizes within one second of contact. The area beneath the bed must be free of any obstructions.
You Might Also Like
Safety Platforms
The official trampoline for the Olympics must have shock-absorbent safety platforms, commonly referred to as end decks. This includes a large, thick mat that sits at either end of the trampoline. This mat offers a cushion in case a gymnast falls from the trampoline. The framework for the safety platform must be attached firmly to the ends of the trampoline.
Official competition trampolines used in the Olympics and other events must feature safety padding. This shock-absorbent padding covers the trampoline's spring and frames. It cannot be thicker than 55 mm, or 2.16535 inches, and it cannot cover any part of the trampoline's bed. Requirements also call for padding to be fixed firmly to the frame, but the padding must not hinder the normal action of the bed or springs.

Skip to comments.USS Pueblo Captured(January 23, 1968)
Posted on 01/23/2005 5:27:38 AM PST by kellynla
On January 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo a Navy intelligence vessel, is engaged in a routine surveillance of the North Korean coast when it is intercepted by North Korean patrol boats. According to U.S. reports, the Pueblo was in international waters almost 16 miles from shore, but the North Koreans turned their guns on the lightly armed vessel and demanded its surrender. The Americans attempted to escape, and the North Koreans opened fire, wounding the commander, Lloyd Bucher, and two others. With capture inevitable, the Americans stalled for time, destroying the classified information aboard while taking further fire. Several more crew members were wounded, including Duane Hodges, who later died from his injuries.
(Excerpt) Read more at historychannel.com ...
"The capture of the ship and internment of its crew by North Korea was loudly protested by the Johnson administration. The U.S. government vehemently denied that North Korea's territorial waters had been violated and argued the ship was merely performing routine intelligence gathering duties in the Sea of Japan. Some U.S. officials, including Johnson himself, were convinced that the seizure was part of a larger communist-bloc offensive, since exactly one week later, communist forces in South Vietnam launched the Tet Offensive, the largest attack of the Vietnam War. Despite this, however, the Johnson administration took a restrained stance toward the incident. Fully occupied with the Tet Offensive, Johnson resorted to quieter diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis in North Korea.
In December 1968, the commander of the Pueblo, Capt. Lloyd Bucher, grudgingly signed a confession indicating that his ship was spying on North Korea prior to its capture. With this propaganda victory in hand, the North Koreans turned the crew and captain (including one crewman who had died) over to the United States.
The Pueblo incident was a blow to the Johnson administration's credibility, as the president seemed powerless to free the captured crew and ship. Combined with the public's perception--in the wake of the Tet Offensive--that the Vietnam War was being lost, the Pueblo incident resulted in a serious faltering of Johnson's popularity with the American people. The crewmen's reports about their horrific treatment at the hands of the North Koreans during their 11 months in captivity further incensed American citizens, many of whom believed that Johnson should have taken more aggressive action to free the captive Americans."
January 23, 1973
1971 Nixon announces peace settlement reached in Paris.
"President Nixon announces that Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho, the chief North Vietnamese negotiator, have initialled a peace agreement in Paris "to end the war and bring peace with honor in Vietnam and Southeast Asia."
Kissinger and Tho had been conducting secret negotiations since 1969. After the South Vietnamese had blunted the massive North Vietnamese invasion launched in the spring of 1972, Kissinger and the North Vietnamese had finally made some progress on reaching a negotiated end to the war. However, a recalcitrant South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu had inserted several demands into to the negotiations that caused the North Vietnamese negotiators to walk out of the talks with Kissinger on December 13.
Under the terms of the agreement, which became known as the Paris Peace Accords, a cease-fire would begin at 8 a.m., January 28, Saigon time (7 p.m., January 27, Eastern Standard Time). In addition, all prisoners of war were to be released within 60 days and in turn, all U.S. and other foreign troops would be withdrawn from Vietnam within 60 days. With respect to the political situation in South Vietnam, the Accords called for a National Council of Reconciliation and Concord, with representatives from both South Vietnamese sides (Saigon and the National Liberation Front) to oversee negotiations and organize elections for a new government."
Unfortunately the terms of the agreement were never honored.
Semper Fi,
Would you change the title of the year to 1973 in this post.
The title of the article should read "1973" not "1971" in post #3
The USS Pueblo is still listed in US Navy records as a US Navy ship.
The North Koreans STILL have it.
My ship, USS CORRY DD 817,
was at the 3 mile limit off of Havana for a 6 week period of time in Jan-Feb 68
We were guarding a communication ship, 12 miles off of Havana.
The same type of ship that the USS Pueblo was.
The USS Pueblo was captured by North Korea
in Jan of 68
EVERY day the Cuban gunboats would runn, full speed,
up to our ship.
We then went to General Quarters and played the waiting game.
Neither side ever opened fire.
It was just a very intense "game"
All with downtown Havana in the background.
We did pickup an escapee from Havana.
He floated out on a make shift type of raft.
Turns out he was originally from Philadelphia
and thought Cuba was the promised land.
We turned him over to the Coast Guard
and were told not to mention this incident.
Later, when we docked in Miami, the papers had a story how he had crossed into US waters on his raft.
Commander Lyodd M. Bucher U.S.N.
God Bless him where ever he is.
Hats of to the men aboard peublo who managed to destrioy all the sensitive equipment prior to capture and who endured the NKs abuse.
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
kennedy, johnson, carter, clinton -- all duds.
the u.s. lost big when they were in command of the military.
It's almost time to nuke North Korea!
As Clarence Darrow said, "History repeats itself. That's one of the things wrong with history.": Major Intelligence Coup for China
Wow! That is intense.
Yes I remember this well, I was a junior in high school and was sick that we didn't rescue these poor men
The Joint Chiefs went to the White House November 1965 to seek LBJ's approval of their plan to bomb Hanoi and mine Haiphong.
LBJ gave them fifteen minutes, then cursed them and threw them out.
LBJ's management of the Pueblo incident was consistent with his overall performance as Commander in Chief.
"LBJ's management of the Pueblo incident was consistent with his overall performance as Commander in Chief."
Just saw a repeat with Ollie North and War Stories.
The "war protests" at home caused LBJ to call off the rescue of the USS Pueblo crew.
4 DD's were set to be deployed.
AND to this day, not one US President has lifted a finger to
1) exonerate the USS Pueblo crew
2) reclaim OUR ship, which is still listed in the US Navy ships list.
This could have easily been me and my ship.
Thank God it wasn't, but damn, it shouldn't have been any U.S. ship.
North Kprea STILL uses the USS Pueblo as a propaganda tool.
It's now a North Korean "museum", complete with tours.
AND it's STILL a US Navy ship!
Ollie North showed film clips of it today, along with the Commie propaganda.
Ollie North and War Stories is THE only show I watch on FOX anymore.
Thanks for sharing, Tonk. And War Stories is by far the best show on Fox - Ollie is great.
Thanks again for the ping.

My tv viewing has been whittled down to next to nothing too. Now Nick @ Nite is going to start showing Murphy Brown. I now have one channel left that doesn't raise my blood pressure; TV Land. And even that one has started running obnoxious commercials.
As a teenager at the time, I remember seeing a posed picture of the captive Pueblo crew, and began to laugh out loud. Each one had their middle finger exposed in the pic. I think they were found out and beaten for it, but their act of defiance made them heroes to me. Anyone have that picture?
Hi Tonk,
I was on the USS Ault, DD 698, and was due to be discharged in February. Was terrified they were going to freeze all discharges but they let me go.
Cuttnhorse, QM2
#5. A little additional info. North Korea's seizure of the U.S.S. Pueblo on 23 January, 1968, provoked a buildup of forces in South Korea as well. F-100, RF-101, and F-105 units were sent to South Korea. B-52s' were deployed to Okinawa. F-106 units rotated there for a period of two years as well. This incident, spurred South Korea's modernization of her forces as well.
Capture and Release of SS Mayaguez by Khmer Rouge forces in May 1975
#33. Thanks for the post and link. Yes, what a difference the CINC can make. President Ford acted decisively. were still paying for President Johnson's indecisiveness in regards to the U.S.S. Pueblo as well as President Carter's indecisiveness in regards to those 444 Days(This is when we should have TRASHED the Islamofacists, maybe Sept. 11th, 2001 could have been averted had we acted decisively back in 1979-1980).
Thanks for the post.

The Experience Trap
When companies look for a manager, they should look for experience, right?
Well, maybe not. INSEAD professors Kishore Sengupta and Luk Van Wassenhove say their research has revealed what they call the 'experience trap.'
Conventional wisdom holds that as we do more things more often, we learn from experience and get better and better, and what we found in our research was that actually some of it may not be the case, Sengupta says.
Sengupta is an Associate Professor of Information Systems and Van Wassenhove is Professor of Operations Management and Director of the INSEAD Social Innovation Centre. What they found was that in big complex projects managers tend to draw on experience that doesn't help, or actually hurts the project.
In their research, they found that experienced managers applied the wrong lessons, didn't link the right lessons with outcomes or were given erroneous objectives or unhelpful feedback. It all adds up to extra problems in project management.
Managers tend to learn the wrong lessons and apply them again and again in a way that's fundamentally counter-productive, Sengupta says. Sengupta and Van Wassenhove used an intriguing simulation that mimics a real project development environment. As managers go through the simulation they have a number of decisions to make.
Many managers ran through the simulation and made errors, then they got feedback and tried the simulation again and made the same mistakes.
These things are deeply engrained into their experience, Van Wassenhove says. You have to help them unlearn what they've learnt and give them tools so they can avoid these types of mistakes.
A common mistake is in starting a project with one goal or one budget; and then when some of the variables change, as they always do in projects, managers decide to add staff but they fail to take into account time lags in hiring and training people, and projects end up late and over-budget. This is particularly true in software development, but Sengupta and Van Wassenhove say the lessons are widely applicable.
Most projects are complex in that the decision you take now, you see the effect later, Van Wassenhove says. Believing that experience will help you and then trusting that experience blindly without questioning the knowledge in the new situation is very tricky.
It's not that managers aren't smart, but projects are very complex, so managers make a lot of decisions over time and often for many projects at the same time. That makes it difficult for them to see the lessons they should be learning and to apply them to future projects.
If you are running 20 projects and you're dealing with a couple of hundred people and all these projects are in different stages of completion, it's very easy to fix something here and something there, and you lose track of action outcomes, Van Wassenhove says.
Estimates, goals and incentives are often unrealistic at the start of a project and as projects progress, things change and become more complex. Often the project managers actually know the goals and estimates are unreliable from the outset. But business culture dictates that managers shouldn't renegotiate or readjust, even when they have new information.
It creates a certain dynamic which leads to projects becoming more and more unproductive, Sengupta says.
Instead, companies should look at goals that induce the behavior they want to foster and then constantly review the goals to make sure they are creating the right behavior and outcomes.
And managers don't get the right feedback either. They get lots of reports and information, but it's not always very insightful and doesn't connect actions with outcomes.
Sengupta says it's not as though companies don't have the information or they don't want to give it to managers, but they don't give it in a way that the managers can understand what's going on and draw conclusions that can help them in this and future projects.

Look: Donald Trump's Ridiculously Condescending Comment to A Black Voter at the Second Debate
Plus, the former reality star staged a gross photo op with Bill Clinton's alleged mistresses.
Them Simmons boys ain't nothing to play with.
Obviously taking cues from his father Rev. Run and little brother Diggy, JoJo Simmons is not one to back down from a rap battle. In response to Juelz Santana mentioning his name on the mixtape banger "Soft," JoJo unleashed scathing diss freestyle "Holy Water" yesterday [Jan. 31].
On the Rick Ross-assisted track from his latest mixtape, God Will'n, the Dipset member rapped, "As far as that dough goes/ I'm Russell Simmons, you JoJo."
The line prompted Rev. Run's eldest son to hop in the booth and record a vicious response.
"Now how you gonna mention my uncle Russell / Then disrespect his nephew / The industry forgot you / f------, you nothing special," JoJo griped. "Why you have to call my name / Thought you retired / Boy, that little bit of fame you had / That s--t had died / Tryna ride Ross' d--k to get a hit, you high."
This is not the first time a young Simmons has went on the attack after feeling slighted. Diggy Simmons also defended the Simmons family name last year on "What You Say to Me" after J. Cole name-dropped him on "Grew Up Fast" in addition to allegedly rapping about his older sister, Vanessa Simmons, on "Purple Rain."
Rappers beware: keep the Simmons name out your raps, or else.

The two spent the weekend together catching up and just hanging out like they would have done before. A mutual friend claimed the two got along like nothing ever happened, as they played pool and smoked together in the couples £4million, former, marital home in Surrey.
We're not sure how long the Cole's relationship will last this time, but if Ashley has as much game in the bedroom as he does on the pitch then we reckon he's well in there.
Does this mean we have to forgive him too?
What do you think? Has Cheryl Cole made yet another mistake?

What to Watch This Sunday: Sneak Peek of the New Series, The Shedby Joseph Erdos in Shows, August 2nd, 2013
A new family is coming to Food Network: the Orrisons, known as the First Family of Mississippi Barbecue. The saying goes, a family that eats together stays together. Well, this family not only does that, they also work together. Brother and sister team Brad and Brooke run the business of The Shed, a popular barbecue joint, while their parents, Mama Shed and Daddy-O, work for them. How many families can say that? But somehow this uncommon dynamic works — most of the time.
The new series features a look inside the business and all the happenings surrounding The Shed, following each family member and employee, who make up a colorful cast of personalities. It's a real-life sitcom slathered in barbecue sauce! Watch a sneak-peek episode of The Shed on Sunday, August 4 at 10pm/9c and tune in for the premiere on Monday, August 5 at 10pm/9c.
It's either marketing genius or marketing mayhem on Sunday night's episode. After Mama Shed's misfired marketing idea for The Shed leads to an unplanned ribs giveaway, Brad decides he can come up with a better marketing plan. Brooke, however, disagrees, and challenges Brad and Daddy-O to a marketing contest of guys versus girls. The girls struggle to create a Shed calendar (which literally puts office manager Hazel in a very sticky situation). The guys invent the one and only "pig-a-pult" to launch sandwiches into the sky. Not to be outdone, The Shed Pimps come up with their own marketing scheme, which conveniently for them involves a kissing booth that they promote on social media.
Tune in: Sunday, August 4 at 10pm/9c
