NASA sees Cyclone Helen making landfall in eastern India

NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Cyclone Helen as it was making landfall in eastern India on November 22.
The AIRS instrument, or Atmospheric Infrared Sounder that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite, captured infrared data on Helen on November 21 at 20:05 UTC/3:05 p.m. EST. At that time, Helen had just begun to make landfall and moderate rainfall from the storm's northwestern edge was over the coast. Helen's western cloud cover extended from Kolkata south to Chennai at the time.
By 0900 UTC/4 a.m. EST on November 22, animated multispectral satellite imagery showed a fully-exposed low level circulation as Helen was making landfall near Machillipatnam.
Warnings were still in effect for Andhra Pradesh and rainfall totals of up to 10 inches/~250 mm are possible. The warning also cautioned fishermen to stay in port.
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued their final bulletin on Cyclone Helen on November 22 at 0900 UTC/4 a.m. EST. Maximum sustained winds were near 35 knots/40 mph/62 kph at the time of landfall. At that time, Helen was located near 16.2 north latitude and 81.0 east longitude, about 193 nautical miles/222.1 miles/ 357.4 km north-northeast of Chennai, India. Helen was moving to the west at 7 knots/8.0 mph/12.9 kph near Tenali while heading further inland.
Helen is expected to continue moving westward and dissipate over land in the next day or two.

When is Disney going to bring Glow With The Show to the Disney World theme parks in Florida?Published: November 11, 2012 at 11:46 PM
So we can't fully enjoy the fireworks unless we buy a stupid, insanely overpriced hat. Lovely. I didn't need another reason to not renew my AP, but now I have yet another one. We'll be spending a lot more time at Knotts and Sea World next year.Published: November 12, 2012 at 7:37 AM
Not since the "Soundsational Parade" and the first AP Glow with the Show WoC show have the AP events been worth our time. One came with free Glow Ears, and the other allowed for AP exclusive food and a partially open "empty" park.AP events aren't that good any more. Between this and Frankenweenie, I don't bother because everyone can see these things once they're open to the public.

Oh good, Disney found another way to charge people money to watch their shows.Published: November 12, 2012 at 7:47 PM
If Disney wants more money they should up the price of a entry ticket, not to drive a bigger gap between people who have to save for a long time to visit Disney and deserve the magic as much as people who have more money.

- Prior to the release of elf city batch two, its examine text was: "The elves would be very interested in these shards. You'll be able to claim a reward when the city opens." and its destroy text was: "The elves would be very interested in seeing these items. It's best to hang on to them for now."
- They originally appeared after every hour of skilling, in a player's inventory (or in the bank if inventory is full), while wearing the Crystal amulet (or shiny/sparkling leaf clover necklace from Treasure Hunter). When one was received by wearing the amulet, the following message was shown: "Your crystal amulet has produced a crystal motherlode shard."

Un-level sites and dirty bathrooms, no toilet paper. The park is really for permanent residents. If we had not been tired we would have moved on. - PWer
This was a terrible park and I would not stay there if it was free. There were numerous abandoned trailers. Sites were terrible. - johnmack
Lots of permanent rigs, not many sites available for driveups. Nice pool, office, store. Some folks had a great party going, noisy but no trouble. It's ok for one night. Not many level sites. - travelingwizard

Sites are very close together and we had some problems setting up. I guess that this would be okay for a quick nights stay. But I would rather have larger site. We have a large 5th wheel and it was extremely tight getting our camper into the site and then out the next morning. We do not expect to stay there again. Sites were muddy. - dakota ev
Older park, definitely built for 8' rigs before slide outs. Tightest we've been in quite some time. Sites quite unlevel, water pressure about 40 psi, and only two 50 amp sites (and in one site the cord is laying across the site from the junction box). Sewage all the way to the rear of the sites. Counted at least three couples who are allowed to let their dogs throughout the park off leash. Not a good experience, can't imagine trying to get in here after dark. Rate is with a Passport America rate. - simsfmly
Great park. Arrived late in the fog and owner let me check in the next morning. Wide pull-thorough and easy hookups. Easy access from interstate 40, short drive. - GMCr

We very much enjoyed our day in the country. Our guide Gordon was most informative and shared a lot about the area and the wine industry. All three wineries welcomed us warmly and were generous in the way they shared their products. Lunch in Yountville at one of the restaurants recommended by Gordon was a delightful experience.
great on aspects
very nice, excellent tour guide
Great trip, we really enjoyed ourselves.....just make sure the driver drops you off at your hotel if that is one of the hotels they are supposed to. we had told him that morning and than when he did not mention it at the end of the day, we told him and he just said do you want to go there? They are supposed to drop you back off if your hotel is listed as being picked up and dropped off. other than that he was very informative.
Had a great trip! Kenneth, our guide was fun and knew all about wine country. Would definitely do it again.
Great tour guide/driver and selection of wineries.
An experience to remember! And it was a good price compared to other packages we were looking at.
Our tour guide was brilliant. Definitely recommend this trip.
Fun time very enjoyable day in Napa and Sonoma Great service
Bill McFarland

Interesting tour and good way to spend a day. The driver who was also the guide did a good job presenting the information as he drove. We went to three wineries. It's not the drink fest which I had always heard about. When they say wine tasting they mean tasting. About 6 tablespoons of wine at each site. Sutter homes did the best.
Tour was great value for money. Taken to 4 picturesque wineries and included tastings. An absolute must is to go to the Bouchon Bakery when you stop off for lunch and try the macaroons - soooo tasty!!! Oh and the wine is pretty special too x
Great little tour, great tour guide, very informative.
Good choice of Estate wineries.
Loved it so much!!!!
our trip to napa was more than we expected to be,I loved the way the driver explains everything from the moment we got into the bus, until the end of the tour, I love the sceneries, me and my boyfriend like everything about the trip, we liked it so much ,that we're already planning a trip for next year with a group of friends.
DINORA and ALEX
Really enjoyed this trip , Gordon was a great tour guide and very informative. It was made very easy got picked up directly from our hotel . Would recommend this tour

- all came out of nowhere, lightning fast, and they kicked chuck norris in his cowboy ass. It was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw, with civilians watching on in total awe. The fire raged on for a century. Many lives were claimed, but eventually, the champion stood (the rest saw their better): Mr. Rogers in a blood stained sweater.

"Modernism isn't Annie's thing, but even she is surprised to discover that the "sculpture" in a prestigious gallery's grisly new exhibition is an all-too-real corpse--the artist's. Meanwhile, a Chagall painting is stolen from the Brock Museum, and Annie's old friend Bryan is accused of being in on the fix. To track down the missing Chagall, she'll need the dubious assistance of a certain sexy art thief. And if Michael--or whatever his real name may be--isn't distraction enough, Annie's mother shows up in town, acting strangely. Annie's got to solve these mysteries, and fast--because art is long, but life can be very, very short."--Page 4 of cover.

Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2'-epimerase (DprE1) is an essential enzyme in the biosynthesis of cell wall components and a target for development of anti-tuberculosis drugs. We determined the crystal structure of a truncated form of DprE1 from Mycobacterium smegmatis in two crystal forms to up to 2.35 Å resolution. The structure extends from residue 75 to the C-terminus and shares homology with FAD-dependent oxidoreductases of the vanillyl-alcohol oxidase family including the DprE1 homologue from M. tuberculosis. The M. smegmatis DprE1 structure reported here provides further insights into the active site geometry of this tuberculosis drug target. Proteins 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

perhaps you don't know that if that lizard were breathing fire the way fire breathing is actually done, the fire wouldn't start until the ignition point which I'm assuming is what he's holding in his hand? either that or he's roasting a marshmallow. Either way, the drawing is gorgeous and playful and the fire is particularly well rendered.
great illo on the iguana and also that facial expression!

Though the club has yet to make it official, both TSN and the Toronto Star have confirmed the Leafs and Cody Franson have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.3 million deal.
This marks the third consecutive one-year deal Franson's signed with the Leafs — the first was a $1.2 million pact for the 2011-12 season, followed by the $2M contract he played on last year. With this new deal, Franson draws even with Stephane Robidas as Toronto's second highest-paid blueliner, though it remains to be seen what fellow RFA Jake Gardiner nets with his pending deal.
At 26, Franson is coming off a year in which he posted career highs in assists (28) and points (33), but also finished with a team-worst minus-20 rating, though some of that had to do with playing big minutes (20:42 TOI average) on a team that wasn't exactly a brick fortress defensively. It'll be interesting to see how he fits next year on a revamped Leafs blueline — gone are the likes of Carl Gunnarsson, Paul Ranger and Tim Gleason; in their place, the likes of Robidas and Roman Polak have been brought aboard.
- Hard to BeLeaf - Jul 21, 2014 at 11:57 AM
Good deal. Now Jake Gardiner's turn.
PS: I want to know how 20:42 minutes per game counts as "big minutes". There's 60 minutes in a game, 3 lines of dmen, so 20:00 would be the average. Franson played an extra shift above average.
- Mike Halford - Jul 21, 2014 at 11:59 AM
He was fifth on the team in TOI per game, third among D-men (behind Phaneuf and Gardiner). I thought that qualified.
- Hard to BeLeaf - Jul 21, 2014 at 10:02 PM
Sorry, I wasn't narrowing you out. It's the standard number to gauge a dman's getting good ice time by (because it IS the average). It's good to be above it, even if just 42 seconds per game.

Your ps is funny. If it was that simple they wouldn't keep the stat. Don't you think a no. 1 pairing would match a no. 1 or 2 line? Do you give them equal time with a third line or fourth line? Power play time, penalty kill time.
Really hard to be you!
- Hard to BeLeaf - Jul 21, 2014 at 10:07 PM
So, your argument is assuming that I think "average" means "every single dman has the same exact ice time"?
LOL. Do you have any other strawmen to attack? Not even going to bother pointing out how far you missed the point of my post.
PS: Weed is legal in your state. You need to chill out.

Good deal for both sides, I was hoping to hear 4 years 16 mill but this works. How many more seasons can he be an rfa though?
- lakeshoreleafsfan - Jul 21, 2014 at 6:46 PM
Because he only signed another one-year contract, he becomes a UFA in 2015
- leepetertk - Jul 21, 2014 at 8:37 PM
I'm surprised Toronto clearly does not value Franson a little bit more. Management may not think he fits into their long-term plans, but I think they can still use Franson as an asset. There are many teams looking for right-shooting D-men with offensive upside and could easily trade for Franson. If he gets to UFA, somebody will give him a decent contract because he does fill a role.

Limited Conversion DHA and EPA are not "essential" in our diets, yet we must get enough either through conversion from ALA or from direct sources of EPA and DHA. If sufficient ALA is consumed, healthy people appear to be able to convert ALA to EPA and DHA. Yet it can be a challenge for many of us to produce adequate amounts of EPA and DHA. Thus, many may enjoy benefits from direct sources, and preformed EPA and DHA may improve our health. |
1. Include good dietary sources of ALA. These are flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, hempseeds, hempseed oil, canola oil, walnuts and green leafy vegetables. Adults aim for 3 to 6 grams per day. |
2. Consider including a direct source of EPA and DHA In theory we should be able to convert the omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed to both EPA and DHA. Yet even the Flax Council of Canada concedes that there is little consistent and clear evidence that most of us can efficiently accomplish this conversion. Though our diets may be rich in ALA from flax, EPA and DHA prove to be more effective than ALA in raising EPA and DHA levels. Those who do not eat fish, vegetarians, vegans, women who are pregnant or lactating women, people with conditions linked with poor omega-3 fatty acid status, diabetics, and the elderly may benefit significantly from direct sources of EPA and DHA. High intakes of omega-6 fatty acids, trans fats, or saturated fats inhibit conversion; thus people with diets high in these fats also may need supplemental EPA and DHA. |
3. Decrease your intake of omega-6 fatty acids. Diets that are relatively high in omega-6 fatty acids can cut our efficiency of omega-3 conversion in half. Eliminate oils that are omega-6-rich and omega-3-poor: sunflower, safflower, corn, grapeseed, soybean and cottonseed oils. Avoid processed foods containing these oils. Whole foods such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame tahini, tofu, and wheat germ also are sources of omega-6's; however these are nutrition powerhouses and need not be reduced. |

US Warns of 'Economic Crisis' If NATO Leaves Afghanistan
97 Percent of GDP Linked to Foreign Spending
US officials, led by Senator John Kerry (D – MA) are warning of a massive economic crisis in already impoverished Afghanistan if NATO indeed ends their war at the end of 2014 and leaves the country.
The argument, according to Kerry and others, is that NATO is spending such massive amounts of money in the nation that Afghanistan is built around a "wartime economy" with 97% of the official GDP linked directly to foreign spending.
At the same time, a Senate report on Afghanistan suggests that a large portion of the money being thrown at Afghanistan is simply being wasted. The massive level of graft in Afghanistan, one of the most corrupt nations on earth, means a lot of the money being pumped into the nations is winding up in the pockets of bureaucrats.
It seems there is little case to be made that the "wartime economy" is benefitting the civilian populace, even putting aside the large numbers of them being killed in the decade-long war itself. This leaves open the question of, if Afghanistan indeed is hit with an "economic crisis" post war, whether anyone will be able to tell the difference.

Internet companies are betting big on India, and we've known that for some time now. With research reports estimating that the next five years will see a huge leap in Internet penetration, companies are also aware that the needs of the next generation of users is going to be "remarkably different".
Shouvick Mukherjee, vice-president and chief executive officer of Yahoo India's Research and Development (R&D) wing, believes that providing content in local languages, and building a Web that can cater for the needs of those who may not be literate, by making the human–machine interface as multimedia centric as possible, is what Internet companies must do today.
In a free-wheeling chat with The Hindu, days before Yahoo launches it 'Winter School' for technology researchers at the Indian Institute of Science, Mr. Mukherjee spoke about why multimedia is a huge focus area in the R&D labs, what the Internet major is doing to reach out to new users, and how algorithms are becoming more sophisticated, more on the fly and predictive to give the best consumer experience possible.
What's the cutting-edge research work that's happening at Yahoo's R&D lab in India?
There are many focus areas, like cloud computing for one, which is an integral part of the technologies we build. Then there's machine-learning technologies, a field that Internet companies work on, which includes data analysis and making algorithms to improve both our user experience and advertising. Another definite focus area is mobile, as is our focus on entertainment.
Yahoo's 'Winter School' focusses on multimedia. What's the kind of research that's happening in this field?
Multimedia is obviously a critical field, and research on multimedia is done entirely in India. All the products for more than 40 markets are made entirely here.
It's important as we are seeing that the Internet is moving from a very text-based medium to one that is rich in multimedia, be it image or be it video. The idea of the Winter School is to increase collaborative efforts and research in this big field.
You said there's a lot of IP (intellectual property) coming from the India labs. What's the kind of IP that has come out in the multimedia field?
There are plenty. Take, for instance, for image search. We are working to see what is the kind of image data that people are consuming, what are the image patterns, how much time people are spending, and so how your search or costumer experience can be improved. In image search, one of the main things is the quality of image; so the work focusses on, for example, how to differentiate on what's an adult image and what isn't. The more exciting part has to do with fields like picture recognition and face recognition, and all that is to see how we can identify entities from images. I mean, if the machine can figure out if this is, say, Shah Rukh [Khan] or Amir Khan, then we can manage the data better for you.
Needless to say that the challenges are far greater when it comes to video.
Internet companies, including your competitors like Google Inc., are introducing new and exciting products in India — for instance, turn-by-turn navigation on maps and so on. What's Yahoo focussing on?
There's a focus on India. There are three dimensions to this focus: mobiles, more content and — given that the Internet is moving from tier-II to tier-III cities — going local with languages. India is big, and we believe that in the next five years, 30 to 40 per cent of Yahoo's user base will come from India, which is roughly 500-600 million new users.
And what will you have to do differently for this next hundred million, and more?
A focus on mobile is one. The second is language, as I've already said, and the third is entertainment. The fact is that the major use of device is on entertainment. If you look at our cricket site, when a cricket match goes on, it's unbelievable… the amount of traffic going in. The same is for movies, for songs and so on.
So the Yahoo India pages [reached] the '1 billion page views' milestone last week, out of which 40 per cent is entertainment, celebrity and cricket. It's certainly entertainment-celebrity news-led.
Your competitors have been working with Indic scripts, and transliteration tools for some time now...
We're trying to look at building content partnerships to get Indian languages out on the Web. The next thing is to get translations, for which we are collaborating [with] colleges and universities ... to, say, get the machine to learn to translate on a large scale. Of course, we're not there yet; these are challenges.
Also, if you look at where the Web is going… you needn't be really literate to see where machine–human interaction is going… human gesture, touch and voice are becoming input devices. Maybe the output will be very multimedia-centric. This, incidentally, is very aligned to what India needs.

You get spoiled living in Florida. I've lived in Jacksonville, Tampa and Orlando over the years, and it's still hard to pick a favorite beach (sort of like picking your favorite child, seriously!). But I thought I'd share a few recent shots of some of my most beloved stretches of sand across the great Sunshine State.
The water is warming up and Florida's beaches, as always, are open for business (the business of fun, that is!). Why don't you Share a Little Sunshine and invite friends and family to experience natural, beautiful Florida at its best.
If you ask me, the state's most tempting luxury resorts all share one common denominator--they are never far from a stunningly beautiful stretch of sand.
So, as that famous game show host is find of saying, c'mon down! The water is warm!

I then had a bit of a rest and then went into work. I worked almost a full day but came home an hour early. I went straight to sleep and just woke up at about 11:00 AM this morning.

When they sing 'Amazing Grace'
I just love that good old country preaching
This old world has gone without it much too long
Yes, I love them good old fashioned gathering
Where all of God's children came to pray

Tropical Storm Bertha moves through the Bahamas; low pressure leads to heavy rain in South Florida
As Tropical Storm Bertha moves north, the brunt of the storm has passed the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Hurricane Bertha has formed in the Atlantic off the U.S. East Coast but isn't expected to be a threat to land.
The second hurricane of the Atlantic season had maximum sustained winds near 80 mph (130 kph) with little change expected in the next 24 hours. It was forecast to start weakening Tuesday.
The hurricane is centered about 230 miles (370 kilometers) northeast of Great Abaco Island and is moving north near 17 mph (28 kph).
The storm brushed the Turks and Caicos Islands and southeastern Bahamas over the weekend as a tropical storm.
The current forecast map predicts that the center of the storm will stay offshore through Thursday.
Tropical Storm Bertha continued on its path north Sunday, blowing through the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The storm brought rain and strong winds as it moved from the Turks and Caicos Islands in the morning to the southeastern Bahamas in the afternoon. The southeastern Bahamas experienced 20 to 30 miles per hour winds and heavy rain on Sunday, said Richard Pasch, a senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami-Dade.
By Sunday afternoon, the bulk of the storm had passed over the islands and was centered in the Atlantic Ocean. Winds over the Atlantic blew at an estimated 45 miles per hour said Daniel Brown, also a senior hurricane specialist for the National Hurricane Center in Miami-Dade.
At 5 p.m. Sunday, a tropical storm warning was lifted and all that remained for the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands were a few lingering showers, Brown said.
"The worst of the event has passed," he said.
Tropical Storm Bertha is projected to continue curving north and away from the U.S. coastline. Although the coast is clear, forecasters are keeping an eye on Bertha in case the storm takes an unexpected turn toward land, Brown said.
South Florida won't feel the effects of the storm. But plenty of rain is expected in the region over the next few days.
The wet weather is the result of an area of low pressure unrelated to the tropical storm, said Chuck Caracozza, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Miami-Dade.
South Florida should expect an inch and a half to two inches of rain through Wednesday in summer thunderstorm fashion, Caracozza said.
"It's going to be wetter than normal," Caracozza said.

I think all this snow is driving me insane. In other news, here's some cute photos of Shannon and Matt form earlier this January before Boston became Hoth.
Serendipity. That's the simplest way to describe this session. I met up with Mike + Kerri earlier this month on a bitterly cold Saturday afternoon. I knew it would be grey and I was ok with that, but I had no idea there would be snow. After grabbing a drink to let the sun set, we stepped out to a perfect wintry evening and shot some unbelievable portraits on the frozen swan pond. I can't wait to do it all again in September, minus the snow.
Love these two crazy kids!
YAY this is fantastic!! <3
So it's January and I have dropped the ball on blogging. It's high time I catch up. Let's start with Lauren + JV's beautiful late fall engagement session from November. The light during this session was absolutely insane. Here we go!
So 2014 is over and it was a flippin ride. From the best clients in the universe, to the most supportive friends and family, and to the one person I couldn't do this without, you have all done more for me than you know. These photos are just a snippet of the adventure that was 2014 and I couldn't be more excited to share it.
So here's to 2014 and an even more epic year ahead – 2015 couples, I'm coming for you. Be prepared.
From Toby, Franks and myself – Happy New Year! See you in 2015.
Fabulous pictures ,a great year! Here's to a great 2015

damn you you took my answer!!! lol
I never used to but now fear takes over and I feel I leave a lot unsaid.
Yes. Keeps things interesting.
Because some people can't handle the truth yet, and I don't want any reaction or change toward me if they knew the things I know about them.
Least said soonest mended. Words can hurt, sometimes easier to get past an upset if you did not say all you wanted to say in the moment.
i don't trust many people, and those who need to hear it arent listening
Because sometimes people need to not hear things
Sometimes, as I may have tried before and got nowhere. It's easier not to bother when you know you're taken no notice of, anyway.
Tact, I suppose. That, and I'm a rather private person IRL, and about certain things online.
I`m working on that... painful doing it on your own.

Poitto is a puzzle game where the object is to match three bottles of the same color horizontally, vertically or diagonally to clear them. Match four bottles to cast a spell and attack the opponent. Make a chain reaction to attack with multiple spells. The game has two modes. In Vs. Mode you try to make your opponent's bottles reach the top while preventing your own from doing so. When you complete bottle lines, some of your opponents bottles will be turned into "timer bottles" which cannot be made to disappear until the timer runs out. In Monster Mode you play against monsters that have bounties on their heads and you need to get the monster's platform raised to the top so as to crush them.Screenshots

Hi Dale, I will tell you what I know about Omni VI IF filter possibilities. All Omni VI versions have a 15 kHz BW 2 pole crystal filter as the 1st filter in the 9 MHz IF. This filter is in the receive signal path at all times for all modes. The next filter in the Omni VI is a 2.4 kHz BW 8 pole crystal filter, also in the 9 MHz IF. It is always in both the TX and RX signal path for all modes except FM. The third filter in an Omni VI is also in the 9 MHz IF. It is only in the RX signal path, and it can be switched in or out. It is controlled by the NAR button in options 1 and 2. In option 3 Omni VI and in the Omni VI + there is space for two narrow optional filters in the 9 MHz IF, and they are controlled by the N-1 and N-2 buttons. You can use one or the other, or neither, but not both cascaded. When you select one of these filters it is cascaded with the 2.4 kHz 8 pole filter and the 15 kHz 2 pole filter mentioned above. The 9 MHz IF option filter(s) can be used in any mode except FM. They are only in the RX signal path not TX. The next filters in the Omni VI are on the Pass Band Tuning board. This is the 6.3 MHz IF. One of four filters on this board can be selected using the 2.4, 1.8, 500 and 250 buttons on a version 1 or 2 Omni VI. On a version 3 or + Omni VI there is no 2.4 button. You are using the 2.4 (stock standard) filter whenever you don't have 1.8, 500 or 250 selected. You always use one and only one at a time, they are not cascade able. Since you operate so much SSB, you will probably want either the 218 1.8 kHz filter as your narrow 9 MHz option filter, or perhaps the 220 2.4 kHz or one of Inrad's filters. Or you may find that you like CW much more with the Omni VI than you ever have before. There is still hope for you. You may decide on the 217 500 Hz filter instead. With a version 1 or 2, you only have one 9 MHz option filter space. It is my understanding that the only stock filters in the Omni VI are the 15 kHz 2 pole and the 2.4 kHz 8 pole in the 9 MHz IF, and the 2.4 kHz filter in the 6.3 Mhz IF. This leaves you one slot to fill in the 9 MHz IF in a version 1 or 2, and two 9 MHz slots to fill in a version 3 or +. In all versions there are 3 slots open in the 6.3 MHz IF, assuming only the 2.4 kHz stock filter is installed. I am sure you will love the Omni VI. It is a great radio. 73 DE N6KB > I had a question about the filters. I gather the rig came with a stock >cw filter and also a ssb filter? are these both in the first if?

Prayerbooks/ Liturgy
We take great pride in announcing the publication of First Fruits: Erev Shabbat, the preliminary edition of Siddur Lev Shalem, edited by Ed Feld. First Fruits takes its place in the Conservative movement's distinguished liturgical tradition for its intellectual integrity, continuity with tradition, and relevance to the time. It both makes us aware of the tradition in new ways while giving voice to contemporary concerns; it is a prayerbook for both synagogue and home use and a personal treasure trove. We welcome it with a full heart!
First Fruits: Erev Shabbat is currently out of stock
About Siddur Lev Shalem | Toolbox | Music | Creating Lev Shalem | The Conservative Siddur
Siddur Lev Shalem follows on the heels of Mahzor Lev Shalem. Like the Mahzor, it includes a new translation in contemporary language, a commentary providing both historical context and conveying the spiritual meaning of the text and kavannot, poetry and prose enlarging our relation to the text. As an RA member remarked, Mahzor Lev Shalem "stretches us in two directions: it is both more traditional and more contemporary than any previous Conservative mahzor." The new siddur continues with this approach: we've looked at each service, thinking through how it was put together, how the tradition around it developed, what customs were dropped that can be reincorporated, and what contemporary ideas can respond to the text.

Mahzor Lev Shalem has sold over 250,000 copies. Lev Shalem seeks to embrace the diverse backgrounds and expectations in each of our communities and open doors for every congregant. For the congregant who is familiar with the t'fillah, the mahzor's running commentary presents both a historical overview and insight into the meaning of prayers. For the congregant who doesn't know Hebrew, the English translations are close to the meaning of the original and the transliterations are plentiful. For the seeker who comes to services looking for meaning and direction, the mahzor's rich assortment of readings includes classic piyyutim that appear in Conservative publications for the first time; Hasidic stories and reflections; and quotes from Abraham Joshua Heschel, Martin Buber, contemporary Israeli and American poets, and leading rabbis in the Conservative movement and beyond. And with abundant readings that focus on spiritual issues and tikkun olam,Mahzor Lev Shalem speaks to the contemporary concerns of our congregants. The book represents the best of the Conservative movement—the classical and the contemporary, the historical and the spiritual; it promises to be inspiring and relevant for years to come.

"Reuven Hammer's comprehensive commentary on the siddur is such a welcome addition to Conservative Jewish liturgy. It recognizes the difference between understanding the words of a prayer and understanding the prayer. Rather than simply translating, it explains the meaning and purpose of the prayer in its context – its history, theology, and relationship to the prayers around it. More than telling us what we are saying, it guides us to understand why we are praying these words." – Harold Kushner.

Topic: Red Army
Good Works Plus Firepower Equals Effective Counterinsurgency
Among some Army traditionalists (and some ultra-hawkish conservatives), the knock on "population-centric" counterinsurgency — whose most prominent advocate is General David Petraeus — is that it is nothing more than "social work" that ignores the need to kill or capture the enemy. Nothing could be further from the truth, as current events in Afghanistan demonstrate. Yes, Petraeus has put more emphasis on securing the population, improving governance, and decreasing corruption. But, no, he hasn't ignored the imperative to hit the enemy and to hit him hard.
That should be clear from this Washington Post article reporting on a decision to send a company of M1 Abrams tanks to assist Marine infantrymen fighting in Helmand Province. Gen. David McKiernan, a previous NATO commander who ironically had a reputation for being overly conventional, had actually turned down a prior Marine request for heavy armor because he thought it would reek too much of the Red Army's tactics. Now Petraeus has approved the dispatch of tanks that are needed to aid Marines who are in a tough fight in places like Sangin.
That should hardly be surprising, because Petraeus is overseeing an impressive increase in overall firepower. As the Post notes:
Despite an overall counterinsurgency strategy that emphasizes the use of troops to protect Afghan civilians from insurgents, statistics released by the NATO military command in Kabul and interviews with several senior commanders indicate that U.S. troop operations over the past two months have been more intense and have had a harder edge than at any point since the initial 2001 drive to oust the Taliban government.
The pace of Special Operations missions to kill or capture Taliban leaders has more than tripled over the past three months. U.S. and NATO aircraft unleashed more bombs and missiles in October – 1,000 total – than in any single month since 2001. In the districts around the southern city of Kandahar, soldiers from the Army's 101st Airborne Division have demolished dozens of homes that were thought to be booby-trapped, and they have used scores of high-explosive line charges — a weapon that had been used only sparingly in the past — to blast through minefields.
That is not a repudiation of counterinsurgency doctrine but a good example of how it is supposed to work: melding kinetic and non-kinetic operations into a seamless whole. While more troops are among the population, and doing more civil-action projects, they are also gaining the trust and confidence of the locals and learning the lay of the land. That allows them to use firepower far more effectively than in the past, when the U.S. relied on a "small footprint," counterterrorism-focused strategy.
In years past, air strikes resulted in many civilian deaths because we had so few boots on the ground; that meant we did not have good intelligence about where exactly the enemy was hiding. Now U.S. troops are able to call in air strikes far more precisely, which is why the considerable increase in air strikes has not led to a corresponding increase in civilian casualties or to widespread accusations of brutality, such as were common when U.S. bombs were blamed for blowing up wedding parties.
What Petraeus realizes — and his critics seem to miss — is that effective counterinsurgency can't rely on force alone or on good works alone. Both are necessary to defeat a tenacious foe and secure a scared populace.
Wikileaks, Insignificant
The Pentagon Papers they're not. The New York Times and the Guardian, among others, are touting the massive leak of 92,000 classified documents relating to the Afghanistan War, which was unearthed by the Wikileaks website. What bombshells do these secret memos contain? Pretty much none, if you are an even marginally attentive follower of the news.
In fact, the only new thing I learned from the documents was that the Taliban have attacked coalition aircraft with heat-seeking missiles. That is interesting to learn but not necessarily terribly alarming because, even with such missiles, the insurgents have not managed to take down many aircraft — certainly nothing like the toll that Stingers took on the Red Army in the 1980s.
As for the other "revelations," here is the best the Times could do after weeks of examining the documents:
The documents … suggest that Pakistan, an ostensible ally of the United States, allows representatives of its spy service to meet directly with the Taliban in secret strategy sessions to organize networks of militant groups that fight against American soldiers in Afghanistan. …
- The military employs more and more drone aircraft to survey the battlefield and strike targets in Afghanistan, although their performance is less impressive than officially portrayed. Some crash or collide, forcing American troops to undertake risky retrieval missions before the Taliban can claim the drone's weaponry.
- The Central Intelligence Agency has expanded paramilitary operations inside Afghanistan. The units launch ambushes, order airstrikes and conduct night raids. From 2001 to 2008, the C.I.A. paid the budget of Afghanistan's spy agency and ran it as a virtual subsidiary.
- Secret commando units like Task Force 373 — a classified group of Army and Navy special operatives — work from a "capture/kill list" of about 70 top insurgent commanders. These missions, which have been stepped up under the Obama administration, claim notable successes, but have sometimes gone wrong, killing civilians and stoking Afghan resentment.
Is it really news to anyone that Pakistan supports the Taliban? Or that Special Operations Forces and the CIA are conducting raids against the Taliban? If so, these must be the worst-kept secrets in the world. Senior U.S. officials have quite openly spoken about Pakistan's role and about the Special Operations raids. As usual, comments on the CIA's role have been more circumspect, but the agency's involvement has been written about in numerous books and articles and not denied by senior officials.
Perhaps the biggest faux news here is that unmanned aerial vehicles sometimes "crash or collide." This would come as a revelation, presumably, only to those who believe that military operations in wartime should achieve a standard of perfection unknown in any other human activity.
The Guardian, as befitting the more freewheeling (and less factual) culture of British journalism, tries harder to hype the findings, which, it claims, provide a "devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan." Actually, the documents show no such thing. At most, they provide a ground-level view of difficulties the coalition experienced in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2009.
Nobody denies that the war was being lost in that period; in fact, that was the rationale for the surge in forces orchestrated by the Bush and Obama administrations since 2008 — to turn around a failing war effort. The documents do not at all reflect on how the war is going now because they don't cover this year. Even if they did, their usefulness would be highly limited: like most such reports, they provide a soda-straw view of events narrowly circumscribed by time and location. The fact that blunders and casualties occur in wartime should hardly be news; whether those blunders and casualties amount to a failing war effort or whether they are part of the fog and friction normal even in victory is more than the documents can tell us.
The Wikileakers should certainly be castigated for their cavalier treatment of classified documents, which may make our troops' jobs harder and more dangerous. Their enablers in the mainstream media should also come in for censure. Whoever provided the information to them should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But at the same time, we should recognize this disclosure for what it is: an unsuccessful attempt to damage the war effort. I doubt that anyone will remember this episode a year from now; what will count, as always, will be the outcome on the battlefield. Win, and a thousand missteps are forgiven; lose, and even the biggest tactical victories fade into insignificance.
Why We Will Not Make the Soviets' Mistakes in Afghanistan
The Financial Times has interviewed veterans of the Red Army's war in Afghanistan who argue that the American war effort will be a replay of their woes. Actually, their comments suggest the opposite. Here is how the FT describes Soviet tactics:
The Soviet 40th Army comprised 120,000 troops at the height of the war, and operations focused on manoeuvring helicopter-borne paratroopers on to mountains, to control high ground, and then moving tanks through the valleys. …
"The war, all 10 years of it, went in circles. We would come and they [the insurgents] would leave. Then we leave, and they would return," Gen [Igor] Rodionov [commander of the 40th Army] said. …
"The 40th army was a highly armed and trained force. It answered every shot directed at them with 10 shots. They created many casualties among civilians.
"We would bomb a village because there were one or two Mujahideen there. Women and children would die and this created the insurgent movement. It was a classic partisan war."
If these Red Army veterans think that NATO forces are repeating their mistakes, they haven't been paying attention. The methods they describe are completely different from those being employed by General McChrystal. The reason he has requested more troops is so his forces don't get into a pattern of entering areas and then leaving them. He wants to stay and provide population security. He has also imposed tight clamps on the use of firepower so our troops don't cause the kind of collateral damage that can turn the population against them.
The whole mindset of the Red Army veterans is highly conventional — employing helicopter assault forces and tanks. That works against a conventional army; it doesn't work against guerrillas. McChrystal realizes that, which is why he's trying a different strategy — the same one that has been vindicated in counterinsurgencies from Malaya to, more recently, Colombia and Iraq. Anyone who offers a mindless Soviet analogy to suggest that we are doomed to failure in the supposed "graveyard of empires" — and I have heard many such arguments in the past few days — should ponder the profound differences between the Soviets' tactics and those of NATO.

To his credit, Bob Gates continues to unravel some of the misguided decisions made by his predecessor, Donald Rumsfeld. His latest decision, as noted in this article, is to stop the drawdown of U.S. troops in Europe.
Rumsfeld was determined to close down or downsize major U.S. bases on the continent that had been in existence for decades, principally in Italy and Germany. He had already reduced the U.S. troop presence to 43,000 from 62,000 two years ago, and he planned further cuts down to 24,000 by the end of next year. Gates has now stopped the exodus, and pledges to maintain U.S. troops at their current level in Europe. This comes on top of his welcome decisions to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps and to increase the number of U.S. troops in Iraq—both decisions that Rumsfeld should have made years ago.
The impetus for Rumsfeld's base realignment plan was seemingly logical—the cold war was over and U.S. troops were no longer needed to defend Germany from the Red Army. But in practice what Rumsfeld envisioned didn't make so much sense—moving most of the troops back to the U.S., and then having small numbers of them rotate for brief periods through new "lily pad" bases established in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and elsewhere, which lacked longterm housing for our forces.
The idea of creating new bases on the new frontiers of freedom makes sense. But moving the bulk of the U.S. troops to permanent bases in "CONUS" (the continental United States) made less sense. The transition would have been a costly one, with new quarters having to be built for the troops and the government having to pick up vast moving costs.
Other costs would have been geopolitical rather than financial: the shift called into question the U.S. commitment to Europe. It also put U.S. forces farther away from future trouble spots in the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. (Germany, for all its disagreements with U.S. policy decisions, has never hindered the efficient movement by rail, sea, and air of U.S. troops from its soil to battlefields in the Middle East.)
Finally, there is a cultural cost involved: generations of American soldiers and their families generally have enjoyed living for a few years in Europe, and this has fostered closer trans-Atlantic cultural links. It is hard to see why it is good either for Europeans or Americans to have more troops consolidated on giant, dusty bases in the middle of Texas or other uncongenial spots back home.
Hitler's Record Collection?
It is ironic that just as the death of the distinguished Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg is announced, the media here and abroad should broadcast news of the rediscovery of Hitler's presumed "record collection." Der Spiegel reported that the daughter of Lev Bezymensky (1920-2007), a World War II Soviet military intelligence officer, revealed some 100 records, which her father reportedly stole from the Berlin Reich chancellery in 1945, after the Red Army invasion. Readers may remember that the same Lev Bezymensky (his name transliterated as Bezymenski) authored the 1968 book The Death of Adolf Hitler: Unknown Documents from Soviet Archives, in which Bezymensky claimed to have been present at Hitler's autopsy. Bezymensky himself later admitted the claim was a lie. Toeing the line of the notorious Soviet counter-intelligence organization SMERSH, Bezymensky's memoir of the autopsy was persuasively exposed as fraud in Ron Rosenbaum's Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil.
Kristof Gets It Wrong (Again)
The opinion writers for the New York Times do not seem to have gotten the news that the troop surge is working. (For the latest indication, see this USA Today story reporting that "the number of truck bombs and other large al-Qaeda-style attacks in Iraq have declined nearly 50 percent since the United States started increasing troop levels in Iraq about six months ago.") Columnist Nicholas Kristof writes today that "staggering on" in Iraq will only delay "the inevitable"—that is, our defeat.
Oddly enough he buttresses this argument with an analogy to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. He argues that "the Soviets and the Afghans alike would have been far better off if the USSR had withdrawn earlier."
