Dick Cheney Claims He -- Not Bush -- Was The Decider
[oldembed src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0rO3F6mZUaE" width="400" height="315" resize="1" fid="21"]
Dick Cheney is once again telling everyone how much he loves waterboarding and torture. NBC is teasing an in-depth interview about Cheney's new book, In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir, which is being released at the end of August. Other bits and pieces are coming out to help promote the sales of the book like this article in the NY Times today: Cheney Says He Urged Bush to Bomb Syria in '07
During George Bush's entire presidency the question of how much influence and authority VP Dick Cheney was given was always been part of the discussion. Cheney openly disdained rules, conventions and laws, pushing the concept of the Unitary Executive further than Nixon ever dreamed. Was Cheney making all the important policy decisions? Cheney once believed he was highly qualified to be president and threw out a trial balloon in 1996.
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said Monday he would consider a presidential run in 1996, adding that he worried about U.S. military cuts planned by President-elect Clinton in the face of instability in Russia.
The Red Scare, how predictable. However, he decided not to run after all.
Fast forward to 2000, Cheney conveniently picked himself for the office after he was named to head the search team to find a Vice President for Bush's ticket. And there was a lot of controversy about how that all went down. (h/t ThinkProgress)
The news in my book about this process is that Cheney never filled out his own questionnaire; that the heart surgeon who vouched for his health never met him or looked at his records; and that Bush and Cheney never interviewed anyone for the job until Cheney already had it nailed.
But what I find most fascinating in the NY Times article is that Cheney actually reveals personal conversations he had with his president as well as many other top Bush aides and advisers. Plus he's taking full credit for running the government response to the 9/11 attacks, which makes Bush look weaker than his My Pet Goat seven-minute stare. Cheney was asked by Jamie Gangel of ABC News if Bush would be upset by these reveals, but replied with a nonchalant "no". But just think about what he is admitting to: as the 9/11 attacks were happening, Cheney has no problem revealing in his book that he was running the government response, completely against protocol.
The book opens with an account of Mr. Cheney's experiences during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when he essentially commanded the government's response from a bunker beneath the White House while Mr. Bush — who was away from Washington and hampered by communications breakdowns — played a peripheral role. But Mr. Cheney wrote that he did not want to make any formal statement to the nation that day.
"My past government experience," he wrote, "had prepared me to manage the crisis during those first few hours on 9/11, but I knew that if I went out and spoke to the press, it would undermine the president, and that would be bad for him and for the country.
"We were at war. Our commander in chief needed to be seen as in charge, strong, and resolute — as George W. Bush was."
Bush should have been in control that tragic day, not Cheney, since he was the elected president and was not incapacitated from doing his duties.
The one question that should be asked of George Bush by the media is did he relinquish command and control to Cheney during those precious minutes and hours after the attacks? If yes, why? If the answer is no - also why? Because these words make it appear that Cheney was indeed much more powerful than Bush was. This was always the rumor and here it is in memoir form and corroborated by the 9/11 Commission Report.
Remember this from the 9/11 Commission Report: Cheney Gave Order to Shoot Down Jets
Vice President Dick Cheney was huddled with top U.S. officials in a bunker below the White House on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when a military aide told him that a hijacked aircraft was 80 miles from Washington and closing in fast. The aide needed to know: Did Cheney want to give warplanes scrambled over Washington orders to shoot it down? Cheney did not hesitate. He authorized fighter aircraft "to engage the inbound plane."
Perhaps in his haste to act -- President Bush was in Florida at the time -- Cheney might have shortcut White House protocol, the report said. The normal chain of command for military "engage" orders goes from the president to the Secretary of Defense, and not through the Vice President, it said.
Although Cheney said he conferred with the president before giving the order, the commission staff could not confirm that a phone call took place in that time frame. Several minutes after giving the order, Cheney informed Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld that he had done so. "So we've got a couple of aircraft up there that have those instructions at the present time?" Rumsfeld asked. "That is correct," Cheney replied. "And it's my understanding they've already taken a couple of aircraft out." That understanding turned out to be mistaken.
By then, three hijacked airliners had already been crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The airliner Cheney ordered shot down had already been forced by passengers to crash in a Pennsylvania field. And another seemingly hostile aircraft turned out to be a Medevac helicopter, headed to the Pentagon.
There was a lot of discussion between the secret service and Bush's aides about where the President should be because he was vulnerable to looking politically weak for running out of town.
PRESIDENT George Bush Sr came to the defense of his son yesterday amid growing criticism of the president's decision not to return immediately to Washington after Tuesday's attacks.
That problem was solved because Cheney told Bush that there was a threat against Air Force One so he should stay out of DC which was reported by the WSJ in 2004 (pdf).
Once airborne, Mr. Bush spoke again on a secure phone with Mr. Cheney, who relayed a new message that changed the president's mind, White House officials later said. The vice president urged Mr. Bush to postpone his return because, Mr. Cheney said, the government had received a specific threat that Air Force One itself had been targeted by terrorists. Mr. Cheney emphasized that the threat included a reference to what he called the secret code word for the presidential jet, "Angel," Mr. Bartlett said in an interview.
Although in the days after Sept. 11, Mr. Cheney and other administration officials recounted that a threat had been received against Air Force One, Mr. Bartlett said in a recent interview that there hadn't been any actual threat. Word of a threat had resulted from confusion in the White House bunker, as multiple conversations went on simultaneously, he said. Many of these exchanges, he added, related to rumors that turned out to be false, such as reports of attacks on the president's ranch in Texas and the State Department. As for the Air Force One code name, Mr. Bartlett said, "Somebody was using the word 'angel,' " and "that got interpreted as a threat based on the word 'angel.' " (Former Secret Service officials said the code wasn't an official secret, but a radio shorthand designation that had been made public well before 2001.)
The vice president's office gave an account differing from Mr. Bartlett's, saying it still couldn't rule out that a threat to Air Force One actually had been made. Days after the attacks, Mr. Cheney had said word of the threat had been passed to him by Secret Service agents. But in interviews, two former senior Secret Service agents on duty that day denied that their agency played any role in receiving or passing on a threat to the presidential jet.
An official in Mr. Cheney's office said in an interview that Mr. Cheney had been mistaken in saying the threat came to him via the Secret Service. The official said that instead, Mr. Cheney had received word of the threat from "a uniformed military person" manning the underground bunker. The official said the vice president and his staff don't know who the individual was. And the official said that he couldn't say definitively whether or not a threat had been made. "I'm not in a position to know the answer to that question," the official in the vice president's office said.
The Telegraph also reported practically the same news.
The picture changed instantly. No more could the President be accused of sheltering in the safety of far-away Louisiana; now he was a hunted man - the main target. Within a week, though, Ari Fleischer, the White House press secretary, had all but admitted the story was completely untrue.
Who cooked it up? Most fingers point at Mr Cheney. "It did two things for Dick," says a well-informed Washington official. "It reinforced his argument that the President should stay out of town, and it gave George W an excellent reason for doing so."
It also gave Cheney some extra maneuvering room. What's also bizarre, but in hindsight doesn't come as a surprise is how Cheney's wife, Lynne kept interfering with the activities as they were unfolding.
But Army Major Mike Fenzel, who is also in the PEOC, complains to him, "I can't hear the crisis conference [that Clarke has been leading] because Mrs. Cheney keeps turning down the volume on you so she can hear CNN… and the vice president keeps hanging up the open line to you."
Later on in the day Dick Cheney went against long standing protocol again and commandeered Camp David:
After attending President Bush's meeting with his principal advisers in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center beneath the White House, Vice President Dick Cheney heads back upstairs, accompanied by his wife Lynne Cheney and his two top aides, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and David Addington. They all head out onto the White House's South Lawn and get onto Marine Two, the vice president's helicopter, being joined on it by a military aide, a communications expert, three Secret Service agents, and Cheney's doctor. They take off, in violation of long-standing protocol, according to which only the president takes off from the South Lawn.
Only a few of the most senior White House officials are informed of their destination. About 30 minutes later they arrive at Camp David, the presidential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains, about 70 miles from the White House. Again going against tradition, Cheney and his family settle into the cabin usually reserved for the president, Aspen Lodge. Liz Cheney, the vice president's eldest daughter, and her young family, joins them there. This is the first of many nights that Cheney spends in "secure, undisclosed locations" in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks (see September 12, 2001-2002). [Federation of American Scientists, 10/2/2000; Hayes, 2007, pp. 345-346] He will return to Washington the following morning for an 8 a.m. meeting at the White House (see September 12, 2001).
I wonder how George Bush will feel after Cheney's book is released because during an attack on US soil, Vice President Dick Cheney appointed himself the Decider in Chief on that crucial day in our history:

Capistrano trustees rescind illegal contract; adopt revised deal for superintendent
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO - Rancor over the Capistrano Unified superintendent's contract - negotiated three months ago, but subsequently determined to be illegally authorized and invalid - boiled over this week, with three trustees walking out of a board meeting and the superintendent lashing out at critics for sullying his reputation.
Superintendent A. Woodrow Carter denied accusations he publicly rejected his three-year, $974,850 employment contract in late February and then conspired with board President Mike Darnold to illegally modify and sign it.
"I never rejected the contract," Carter said at Monday's board meeting. "That was not the language I used. I was reluctant to take additional compensation. … The rest of this has become innuendo, slander and misrepresentation of what I was attempting to do."
On Monday, on the advice of the school board's attorney, trustees rescinded their February vote authorizing the superintendent's contract. The attorney, Mark Bresee, told trustees they violated the Brown Act - the state's open-meeting law - by negotiating and approving the contract behind closed doors.
Then, in a 4-0 vote in open session, trustees approved a nearly identical contract for Carter. Trustees Ellen Addonizio, Anna Bryson and Larry Christensen had excused themselves from the dais and were not present for the vote.
Carter has been without a valid, permanent contract since December, when trustees voted unanimously to make him their permanent superintendent. Carter began working for the 51,000-student South County district in September as interim superintendent.
Carter's first permanent contract was approved Feb. 25 behind closed doors in a 5-2 vote, with Addonizio and Christensen dissenting. The contract stipulated a base pay of $273,000 annually - an 11.4 percent raise over his interim contract. With benefits, Carter's compensation swelled to $324,950 annually.
Three days later, amid heated criticism that he was taking a $28,000-a-year pay raise while the district was looking to slash $27 million from its budget, Carter publicly rejected the new contract and said he would continue working under his interim contract.
"I announced last night …that I would not sign the new contract and accept compensation at this time," Carter wrote in a Feb. 29 e-mail to the school board.
Less than two weeks later, he told trustees he had signed his contract, but still would not take the 11.4 percent pay raise.
But, as parents would soon learn, the signed contract contained a termination clause entitling him to 18 months' compensation if he were to be fired. The clause was inserted after trustees approved the contract and was never authorized by the board.
When these revelations came to light last month, they became the basis of the CUSD Recall Committee parents group's allegations of an illegal cover-up.
Carter, who denied the allegations, defended the clause's inclusion at the time, saying it "merely emphasizes the Government Code that is in effect in the case of the termination of a contracted school employee."
California Government Code Section 53260(a) states that the maximum cash settlement for an employee whose contract is terminated is 18 months' compensation; it does not say the employee is entitled to receive that money.
When Carter's contract came before the school board for approval Monday, the clause had been removed. District spokeswoman Beverly de Nicola said it was taken out "because it confused people and wasn't necessary."
"There was never an intention to mislead the public," she said.
During Monday's meeting, the three trustees who were absent for the final 4-0 vote approving Carter's contract left the room one at a time.
Bryson, the first to leave, stepped out even before discussions about the superintendent's contract had begun. She did not give a reason and did not return.
Christensen, the next to leave, said he was concerned the school board still might be out of compliance with the Brown Act, even after assurances by the school board attorney that this was the proper way to proceed.
"I'm going to have to leave at this point … " Christensen said. "I'm not comfortable with it. I think we're still in violation of the Brown Act."
Attorney Bresee explained that members of the public who were concerned about potential Brown Act violations had 90 days to file a complaint with the agency; because the district had not received a complaint within the 90-day period, the school board's rescission of its February vote was sufficient from a legal standpoint.
"It's not even clear you have to do this," Bresee said. "Rescinding this one action is completely consistent with the Brown Act and goes beyond what you are legally obligated to do."
The school board rescinded its February vote with a 4-1 vote. Addonizio cast the dissenting vote.
Addonizio then hammered on the point that the board wasn't only dealing with a Brown Act violation; there also were accusations that an employment contract had been illegally altered and signed.
"We agreed to compensation. In the meantime, Mr. Carter relinquished that, rejecting the contract, and then another contract was drawn up that never went by the board," Addonizio said before she, too, left the room.
"I don't know the condition of that contract. We can't rescind something we didn't approve of in the first place."
Bresee said the contract in dispute was not legally binding because it had not been ratified in open session by the entire board. He explained that the board was not being asked to rescind the contract itself, but merely the vote approving it.
He added that the allegations of improper conduct by the superintendent and the school board president would be best addressed separately, as a legal claim for damages.
"Tonight is the night to create the binding obligation," Bresee said. "…That's the only thing the board needs to fix. All of the other things are damages claims."
CUSD Recall Committee spokesman Tom Russell, who was at the meeting, said he agreed with the attorney's interpretation and would consider filing a legal claim seeking declaratory relief - in other words, demanding that Carter and Darnold acknowledge they illegally modified and signed the February contract and be publicly censured for it.
"The more we look at it, the more we see it's flawed," Russell said. "They've said nothing about the contract's existence."
An audience of about 100 in the board room broke into a loud applause when the superintendent's contract was approved by the trustees remaining in the room. The 4-0 vote was the final vote of the contentious 2.5-hour meeting.
"How valuable your insight and experience is and will be during the looming budget crisis," parent Linda Verraster of San Clemente told Carter. "… Superintendent Carter has already invested himself in our district and our kids during a very difficult time. I'm frankly happy he didn't run screaming from the building."
Capistrano has had five people fill the role of schools chief in the past two years; the last permanent superintendent, Dennis Smith, walked off the job in less than a month.
Some at the meeting said they were upset that three trustees had left before the contract vote.
"Their behavior is absolutely unacceptable," said parent Erin Kutnick of San Juan Capistrano, who praised Carter during the meeting. "How juvenile was it for them to get up and walk out, especially after the attorney went to great lengths to explain that it was not illegal."
Board President Mike Darnold said that it was crucial that Carter finally had a valid, permanent contract.
"I work with this man everyday. I trust our superintendent," Darnold said. "Trust is a huge thing. I trust him as a person, manager and CEO with a half-billion-dollar budget."

The Upper Housatonic Valley African American Heritage Trail, Great Barrington
This trail presents a rich history of African Americans who played pivotal roles in key national and international events and made significant contributions to our culture. Blacks in the region spent their lives defining the tenets of freedom and democracy, hoping to claim the "unalienable rights" our founding fathers deemed "self-evident." The trail celebrates the lives, accomplishments and contributions of African Americans who made their mark in Western Massachusetts and beyond.
The Parting Ways Story in Plymouth
The Parting Ways story reopens the history books to tell a tale of four former slaves who were the first African American veterans in America. Parting Ways township in Plymouth, founded by these men, was one of the very first African American settlements in North America. Today this small acreage is in the process of being redeveloped into a place of beauty and education. The gravesites of these individuals await your visit. Your support will help bring attention to this little-known but important story.

Every organisation needs to change and evolve. How these changes are handled depends on the management vision. The most damaging approach is to refer to the past - it is all too easy to fall into the trap of looking in the "rear view mirror". Making decisions based on what has worked before is dangerous and counterproductive if you want to grow and survive in uncertain times. What if the world looks really different tomorrow?
A fast-changing world offers opportunities and threats to your business model and your position in the market. New technology makes existing business models obsolete or irrelevant. New markets will be filled by those who most quickly identify new opportunities and the desires of new generations of customers. Is your organization able to deal proactively with change? Or will you always be unpleasantly surprised by the new rules of the game?

The inhabitants of Hostler Road in Pelargir were a hard-working lot, and far enough off the main thoroughfares that nothing much of interest ever came into their small neighborhood. So when the troop of beautiful warhorses ridden by warriors clad in Dol Amroth livery turned up their cobbled lane, all meaningful attempts at work ceased. Dogs barked, children shrieked and dashed up and down the road, tradesmen and their wives leaned over their doors or out their windows and gaped, or gathered in feverishly gossiping clusters upon their stoops.
The troop halted in the road before Jacyn CarterÆs house. There were a dozen of them, all dazzling in their highly polished armor. But it was the two lords whom the troop escorted who were the focus of all eyes, and who would be the fodder for gossip for months to come.
It was impossible that the older man be in Hostler Street, and equally impossible not to know who he was. Only one man in Gondor wore the Swanship arms of Dol Amroth differenced with a crown to match the circlet that confined his raven locks.
ōÆTis the Prince!ö ōÆTis Imrahil himself!ö ōAnd young Brand!ö the murmurs came. The inhabitants of Hostler Street remembered the previous year, when the formerly despised bastard had visited his mother in lordly style. Then he had been accompanied by the swarthy captain with parti-colored hair who walked beside the Prince. The white-haired young man carrying the huge hamper was a new addition.
ōA Captain of the Swan Knights last year, the Prince of Dol Amroth this year,ö said Darulan, the streetÆs resident blacksmith. ōWho will the boy bring home with him next year? The Steward? The King himself?ö
ōCome up a bit in the world, hasnÆt he?ö Torin the saddler commented. ōWho would have thought of it?ö
Jacyn Carter was a hard man in a hard trade, and he plied that trade in an old and decadent city. Consequently, he backed down from very little-even Captain Andrahar, who effortlessly intimidated many a hard man. But tea on silver plates, laid on fine white cloths covering his humble kitchen table was apparently enough to cow him-when the man presiding at the head of that table was the supreme lord in Western Gondor.
Brand watched in fascination as his step-father, his usual truculence gone, stared wide-eyed at Prince Imrahil, who was dripping what seemed to be an endless stream of honey into his cup. Jacyn was sitting at the opposite end of the table, with Nellith at his right hand, while Brand was situated at the PrinceÆs right hand. Captain Andrahar and Hethlin stood on alert and on guard at ImrahilÆs back. AndraharÆs expression was imperturbable, but there was interest in HethlinÆs manner and an amused twinkle in her eyes, though she kept those eyes properly forward. Her inclusion in this visit had been by her request-she had been very curious about BrandÆs family. The CommanderÆs inclusion had been by the PrinceÆs insistence-Brand had inadvertently overheard just a bit of that argument, while walking by the door of the PrinceÆs suite in the old Kingæs House in Pelargir. Andrahar had pleaded much undone business of procurement and had suggested Liahan as an escort, but had been overruled.
ōYou are the one who took responsibility for their son, Andra, and you are coming.ö
ōBrand is more in your care than mine now, my lord. Yours and ElphirÆs.ö Brand had sucked in a breath at that, feeling a now-familiar ache beneath his breastbone.
The PrinceÆs voice had been firm. ōYou are coming, and that is all there is to it. I will hear no more about the matter, Andra.ö
ōAs my lord commands.ö
The acquiescence had been made grudgingly, but once made, there had been no further protests. Brandmir wondered if this wasnÆt his great-uncleÆs rather oblique way of throwing the two of them together-Andrahar had certainly managed to successfully avoid his ward all the way to Pelargir. But if that were the Princeæs strategy, Brand didnÆt see what good it would do-while on bodyguard detail, Andrahar was not at liberty to talk to him. Imrahil was not admitting to anything of the sort in any event. Gracious as ever, he presided over the table in the humble abode as if he were in the main hall of Dol Amroth.
ōDo have some of the honey-cakes, theyÆre very good,ö the Prince said, giving the master and mistress of the house his most charming smile. Nellith, like most women, proved susceptible to that smile, and smiling in her turn a little nervously, helped herself to some of the delicacies gracing the table. Jacyn filled his plate as well, though he still regarded Imrahil fearfully, almost as if he expected him to draw sword and pounce. ōI apologize for imposing upon you in this way, but Brandmir wanted to see his mother and brothers and sisters, and as we were on our way to Minas Tirith, the opportunity was too good to pass up. Besides,ö and here his eyes flicked, momentarily frosty, over the carter, ōI have heard so much about the two of you that I feel I know you already.ö
Nellith blushed at the idea of the Prince knowing her at all, but Jacyn caught that moment of disapproval, and his eyes moved accusingly in their turn to Brand, who met his fulminating glance coolly. Think you that I was the sole bearer of tales, Step-father? Andrahar talked to Morlan, and for all I know, others. Not to mention that the tale of your treatment was writ plain on my face when he met me. And when he finally did tell the Prince about me, he told him everything he knew. His eyes held his step-fatherÆs, held them without the insolent defiance he had used to give the man. Held them with what was, unbeknownst to him, his fatherÆs look of confident command until Jacyn, discomfited, bowed his head over his teacup once more.
Imrahil missed nothing of this and a hint of irony seeped into his smile. ōAlso,ö he continued pleasantly, ōwe have some news for you. Brand would have written it, but given that we were on our way here anyway, there was little time lost in simply waiting to tell you in person.ö He set down his tea cup and folded his hands, and his manner and expression sobered. Jacyn and Nellith noted this and became very attentive.
ōAs you know,ö the Prince said, ōLord Boromir never wed. As far as we know, Brandmir is Lord BoromirÆs only child, acknowledged or otherwise. Myself, Prince Faramir and the King were all in agreement that because of this he should have some sort of status and position. After much discussion, Prince Faramir decided that the most appropriate thing to do would be to give Brandmir the dower lands that had come to him by way of his fatherÆs marriage with my late sister Finduilas. The lands are rich and extensive, and the grant is of great enough size that Brandmir would be entitled to a Council seat under our old laws, though the King has final say in such appointments now. Elessar did, however, permit the transfer of the lands, and he has also issued Brandmir a patent of nobility, to give him sufficient status.ö
BrandÆs mother gasped, wide-eyed, and his step-father looked as if one of his platter-hoofed dray horses had kicked him between the eyes.
ōMy lord princeģö Nellith said hesitantly, ōare you saying that my son is a lord now?ö
Imrahil nodded. ōThat is exactly what I am saying.ö In the silence that followed, the sound of BrandÆs siblings quarreling over cakes upstairs, under the watchful eye of an older neighbor girl, could be clearly heard.
The carterÆs wife took another moment to absorb this, then smiled feebly at Andrahar over the PrinceÆs right shoulder. ōYou did well indeed by my son, captain.ö
Andrahar shrugged. ōÆTwas little enough of my doing, mistress. All I did was take him to Dol Amroth and tell his tale to the Prince when he returned home.ö
ōAnd take good care of me until the Prince did come home,ö Brand put in firmly.
There was a momentÆs silence, then AndraharÆs deep voice responded from behind his back.
ōYou are kind to say so, Lord Brandmir.ö The captainÆs tone was cool and formal as at court. Brand bent his head over his cup for a moment, then looked up to meet his motherÆs eyes. Nellith looked both puzzled and concerned.
ōThere is more, Mother,ö he said. The Prince handed him a very official-looking document, which he reached down to his mother-the table was not so very long after all.
Nellith took it and her look of concern deepened. ōYou know that I have no letters, Brand.ö
ōÆTis nothing bad, Mother!ö he hastened to explain. ōItÆs the deed to a farm, a very fine one, a hundred acres. Mostly good pasture land. On my lands in Belfalas. ItÆs yours, if you want it. Yours and Step-fatherÆs.ö
ōA farm? In Belfalas?ö
ōYes. I would like you to live closer to me, so I can see you and my brothers and sisters more often. Did you not always use to say that you missed the farm?ö
Nellith nodded, her fingers stroking the parchment. ōAye, I did that.ö She looked at her husband, handing the parchment to him. Jacyn, who was also unlettered, examined the letters and seals with a slight frown.
Brand, seeing his expression, quickly added, ōYou neednÆt move there unless you want to-I know that Step-father likes the city. But I wanted you to share in my good fortune.ö
ōYour mother has been saving up most of that money youÆve been sending her,ö the carter said. ōWe were about to buy the house next door and knock a door through. I am a carter, not a farmer. What would I do in Belfalas?ö
ōThe same thing you do in Pelargir,ö the Prince said. ōWe have need of carters there. Honest, reliable ones are always in demand. You would not lack for work. I have contracts available myself.ö
ōI could work for you?ö
Jacyn found the courage to look him in the eye for a moment, glanced at his wife, let his gaze travel to Brand, then turned his attention back to Imrahil.
ōMy lord prince, have I your leave to speak with Lord Brandmir alone for a moment?ö
The Prince inclined his head in acquiescence. ōI have no objection if Brandmir does not.ö
ōOf course,ö Brand replied and got to his feet. Jacyn bowed deeply to the Prince. As the two of them headed out the back door, Brand heard Imrahil say calmly, ōBide, Andra,ö and knew that his guardian had attempted to follow. He smiled to himself, heartened as he had not been in days. Andrahar was undoubtedly worried that the carter might fall into his old habits, but Brand was not the least bit concerned. Jacyn Carter was many things, but a fool was not one of them. He would not dare to lay a hand upon Brand given his new status and the company he was keeping.
The alley behind the house had not changed in the last two years. There was still a distinct odor of horse and ancient and not particularly efficient drains. Brand could see a massive head poke curiously out of the first stall in the small barn and reflected upon the fact that Jacyn might have packed his children in five to a room, but heÆd always given his teams box stalls, which was hardly the usual thing among carters.
ōSo-is it to be my lord this and my lord that now?ö the carter asked him in an annoyed tone, spinning on his heel to face Brand once they were outside.
ōNot when weÆre alone like this. But youÆd better believe the Prince will insist upon it in other company, Step-father.ö
ōAnd do you think that I canÆt take care of my own family?ö
ōI know that you can take care of your family. I never went hungry, and there were always clothes on my back, and you didnÆt care for me in the least. But IÆve been very, very lucky and fallen into a very good place. What sort of man doesnÆt share that with his kin?ö
ōThere are plenty who would have just walked away and not looked back.ö
ōI was raised better than that.ö
ōYouÆve not so much love of me that you would want to be doing me favors.ö
ōNo, I donÆt,ö Brand admitted easily. ōBut that is my mother in there, and my half-brothers and sisters. I donÆt forget that.ö He grinned, with a touch of his old insolence. ōYouÆre just along for the ride.ö
Oddly, that admission seemed to reassure the carter. He snorted, ōThatÆs honest enough, at least,ö and surveyed his stepson curiously. ōYouÆve changed, and I donÆt just mean the clothes. What are they teaching you at that place?ö
Brand smiled in rueful reminiscence. ōOh, reading, writing, sums, languages. Horseback riding, sword-play, archery, dancing, courtly manners. Things like that. Iæve hardly time to turn about most days.ö
After a bemused moment spent contemplating BrandÆs schedule, the carter asked, ōDo you still want to be a soldier then? Now that youÆre a lord?ö
ōI hope to. I shall try at least, when the time comes. I canÆt become an esquire until IÆm sixteen. But I need to be able to protect my people.ö He stopped speaking, stricken abruptly by the realization that he actually had people to protect.
Jacyn, seeing his expression, hooked his broad-backed hands into his belt. ōGlad youÆre not a tannerÆs apprentice?ö The question was dryly put.
ōOh yes!ö came the instant, fervent reply.
The carter sucked in a breath and looked embarrassed for a moment. ōAbout that business with the tannerģThat wasnÆt all spite, Brand. A bit of it was, to be truthful, and rather more of it was about the money. But if little Jacyn had been old enough, IÆd have thought hard about sending him-the place was that good.ö
ōMother thought it a good place as well, sir. I donÆt hold it against you.ö
ōThatÆs good of you,ö Jacyn said with some reluctance. Then, more briskly-ōNow-back to business. If we decide to move to this farm of yours, will I have to swear to you for the land?ö
Brand blinked. This was something he hadnÆt considered or discussed with his great-uncle. ōI donÆt know. Grandy didnÆt say. I wouldnÆt make you, but he might.ö
ōThe Prince.ö
ōOh. Right familiar youÆve gotten with him, havenÆt you?ö
ōOf course, seeing as heÆs my great-uncle.ö
ōIæm still not used to that.ö The carter looked down at his feet for a moment, then back up at Brand. ōYour mother lives for your letters, you know. She really wishes she had lettering, so she could write you back.ö
Brand nodded. ōI do miss her. That is why I thought of this. She always used to talk about her familyÆs farm. And you used to talk about wanting to raise draught horses. You could do that there.ö
ōDid you know she lost a baby in the early spring?ö
ōNo.ö Alarm chilled Brand. ōThe messenger only tells me what she tells him, and she never said anything. Is she all right?ö
NellithÆs husband shrugged. ōShe wouldnÆt have worried you with it. Would have kept it from me as well if she could have. Fact of the matter is she was right poorly for a while-it was fairly far along when she lost it. We spent some of your money for a healer, and to get Talwyn in to help with the children. NellieÆs better now, but IÆm keeping the girl on.ö JacynÆs brow furrowed. ōÆTis true sheÆd enjoy being out in the country again, and it might help her to be there. IÆll take a bit to think on your offer, if thatÆs allowed.ö
ōOf course. The farm is yours until you tell me you donÆt want it. If youÆd rather I got you a bigger place here instead, IÆd be willing to do that as well.ö
The carter nodded. ōIÆll talk things over with your mother. It is a generous offer andģ I thank you for it, lad.ö That last was a bit forced, but Brand was rather touched that his step-father had even made the attempt. And very surprised in the next moment when Jacyn said, ōI met your father once, did you know?ö
ōNo, I didnÆt! Where?ö
The carter ran his hand through his hair. There were a few silver threads there now that hadnÆt been there when Brand had left Pelargir. ōHe was down here with a bunch of soldiers, doing that practice warring that they do to keep ready.ö
ōAye, thatÆs what itÆs called. Anyway, theyÆd a supply train that had not caught up with them, and the men were going to go hungry that night. So Lord BoromirÆs quartermaster bought more supplies in town, and hired on some carters to take them out to the camp. I was one of them, and I was carrying the beer.ö He grinned reminiscently. ōShould have figured that would be a draw! When we get into camp, weÆre all very surprised to find the Captain-General himself waiting for us with a big smile on his face. Thanks us for his men he does, says theyÆre that hungry and oh so glad to see us. Then he turns to me and says, æBroach one of those casks if you will, good carter. IÆll inspect the quality and toast your health all at once.Æ So bless me if he doesnÆt have someone bring us some tankards, and we all of us carters have a beer with him, him talking to us easy as if he were just normal folks. That was a great man, and donÆt you forget it, lad! ThereÆs plenty of people here who donÆt. The King is well enough and all, but we remember Lord Boromir.ö
Brand found himself having to blink a couple of times. ōI wish I could have met him,ö he said, his voice a little rough. His step-father nodded.
ōItÆs a shame it is that heÆs not here. You do look like him a bit, now that I think upon it.ö There was an awkward silence for a moment, then Jacyn cleared his throat. ōIÆve spoke my piece, weÆd best get back inside. That prince of yours will be waiting.ö But he didnÆt move towards the door, and when Brand looked at him in puzzlement, he growled gruffly, ōLords go first, or havenÆt they taught you that part yet?ö
Brand laughed. ōIÆm picking it up as I go along.ö And he led his step-father back into the house.
Only someone who knew Andrahar as well as Brand did could have discerned the slight lessening of tension upon his return, and it warmed the boyÆs heart to see it. Despite their current differences, Andrahar was apparently still capable of worrying about his former charge.
With matters settled between himself and Jacyn, things became much more relaxed and pleasant. Nellith had become very comfortable with Imrahil in their absence and caught Brand up on all the gossip of the street upon his return. Then, much to BrandÆs embarrassment, the Prince said, ōI have an apology to make to you, mistress, for I fear I let your son come to some harm recently,ö and proceeded to tell the tale of the slavers.
Prince Imrahil had lost none of his story-telling ability, though Brand hardly recognized the stalwart young hero his great-uncle described, and was somewhat uncomfortable. He glanced up once to find Captain Andrahar still stone-faced, but Lady Hethlin giving him a smile that conveyed complete understanding. His motherÆs eyes grew wide as the story progressed, and the carter listened with frowning attention. When Imrahil came to the part where Brand killed his would-be murderer, the carter, engrossed in the story, actually thumped the table with his meaty fist, making the dishes jump.
ōThatÆs the way of it!ö he growled with enthusiasm. ōNever met the Southron yet who could stand up to a Pelargir brawler!ö A moment later he recollected the company he was keeping and threw a nervous look towards Andrahar, who met his gaze with the same cool, ironical eyebrow which had caused generations of esquires to squirm in shame. He subsided, bending his head over the tea things, and Brand saw the faintest ghost of smile
play about the captainÆs lips for a moment. Then he felt BrandÆs eyes upon him and lapsed back into stolidity.
Brand found himself suddenly enveloped in a maternal hug. His mother had risen and made her way to his end of the table. ōOh, my poor boy!ö Nellith exclaimed. ōIt must have been horrible for you! And how brave you were!ö
ōHe was brave indeed,ö the Prince agreed, and when Nellith had resumed her seat, continued the story through to its conclusion. Brand thought he came off rather too well in it, but Imrahil seemed matter-of-fact about the whole business. Until the end, when he looked across the table to BrandÆs mother and asked, ōWell, mistress, now that you have heard the whole account, what amends might I make you for my lapse in guardianship? And can you find it within yourself to continue to trust me with your son?ö
Taken aback, Nellith stammered a bit. ōM-m-my lord prince, I do not see that you are at fault at all. How can you be responsible for what some evil men do in your realm?ö
ōActually, mistress, I am ultimately responsible for all that goes on in my realmö, Imrahil said ruefully. ōWhich is why I go to considerable trouble to try to stop such things before they happen. In this case, however, I was a bit behind.ö
Nellith shook her head in disagreement. ōNo, my lord prince, I do not think you neglectful. As soon as you had missed Brand, you started looking for him, and you went after him in your ship as quick as ever you could. And besides,ö here she looked her son up and down, and Brand was suddenly keenly aware of the difference between what was his motherÆs best dress and his own good garb, ōhow would we teach him the things he needs to know, now that heÆs a lord? This is no place for lordly folk.ö Realizing how that must sound, she quickly added, ōNot that youÆre not welcome to come back or even stay if you wish, Brand dear, I didnÆt mean to make you thinkģö
It was BrandÆs turn to rise swiftly and make his way to the opposite end of the table. Embracing his mother, he said, ōIt is all right, Mother. I understand what you mean. IÆve lots more to learn there, believe you me!ö He stayed there with his nose in her hair for a long moment, breathing in her scent of soap and lavender water, a trigger for all of his earliest memories. The Prince, watching them, smiled.
ōThen we will leave matters as they now stand.ö
As he had done the previous year, Brand then took all of his brothers and sisters for rides up and down the street, while the Prince chatted amiably with Nellith and Jacyn and his escort looked tolerantly on. The inhabitants of the street watched enviously. Some who had had little enough to do with him when he was the bastard son were all too eager to greet him now, he noticed.
Gaelbereth expressed such enthusiasm for his new horse that he took his mother and step-father aside and asked if they would like his little saddle-mare for her.
ōIf we decide to move to the farm we will talk about it,ö his step-father said. ōThe horse would be easily enough kept then, though I shouldnÆt like her to be getting ideas above her station.ö
ōIf I have anything to say about it, she will have enough of a dowry that she might very well get ideas above her station and have some fine lad agree with her,ö Brandmir said with a grin. That earned him another kiss from his mother and a grunt from his step-father, who had apparently exhausted his capacity for being agreeable for the day, but was not inclined to argue either.
It was almost full dark when they finally returned to the Vine and Sheaf Inn. Brand suffered an odd feeling of displacement for a moment when he handed his reins to the stable-boy, a lad whom he did not recognize. ōRub him down well, please,ö he said.
ōOf course, my lord,ö the boy answered swiftly, with a respectful bob of the head, as he himself might once have done.
He turned away to find his great-uncle giving him an understanding look. ōAre you all right, lad?ö
He nodded. ōIt just feels strange, coming back here. Stranger than last year, for some reason.ö
ōYou are older now. You have been away longer. That is why it feels strange. Would you like to come back to stay?ö There was no anxiety or concern in the question, Imrahil merely seemed genuinely curious about his answer.
Brand thought about it for a long moment. He had truly missed his brothers and sisters over the last two years, though the homesickness had been worst during his first days in Dol Amroth. And from time to time he still wished that his mother could be there to console and counsel him. But on the wholeģ
ōNo sir. This place feels tooģsmall for me now.ö
ōAnd the hundred acre farm? Would that be too small?ö
Brand thought about that. It would be more of a challenge, but stillģno going to sea on ships, no fine horses, none of the daily excitement and color that living in Dol Amroth provided. No lessons to be learnedģHe struggled with those lessons, ætwas true, but he knew now how valuable the knowledge could prove to be.
ōYes, sir,ö he said at last. ōThat would be too small as well. Though sometimes,ö and here he gestured vaguely down his expensively-clad form, ōthis æLord BrandmirÆ business seems too big for me!ö
The Prince smiled knowingly. ōTrust me, lad, ætis better to have room enough to stretch and grow into, than to be in too small a place!

Dragon Charmer Since her fathers death early in 2080, 13-year-old Elizabeth has been her mothers right hand girl. Mom had to work now, and it seemed that the only time Elizabeth wasnt worrying about her mom, her younger sister, or herself was when she was dreaming, reading, or thinking about dragons. Yet, even in her wildest dream, she never imagined becoming a dragon keeper, a Dragon Charmer, responsible for the care and well-being of a fierce, brave, beautiful, and endangered dragon.
Most dragon literature was defamatory and prejudicial and focused on a few mischief makers fighting fearsome presence. No one wrote about the dragon melting snow or moving clouds with the breeze from its wings, or the dragons song. Merlins apprentice, Maxine, set out to right the wrong and establish The Society for the Preservation of Dragon, or Dragon Charmers. Members learned that dragons grew very slowly and received a new scale only when a person did an unselfish, good deed. A magical reference book catalogued the name of the person responsible for the good and the time and date of its occurrence. Elizabeth was shocked to see that her fathers name appeared many times, and that the last entry was yesterday. He was still alive!
As Elizabeth works through the mystery of her fathers disappearance and the responsibilities of a Dragon Charmer, the reader witnesses a future world where water is in critically short supply; where biblio-vox system audio books have replaced the old-fashioned book that had to be read with the eyes word by word; where pets are not allowed; where schooling is accomplished through group interactive television; and where soap and water have been replaced by Rad-scan cleanser.

Microsoft has fended off a challenge to its US$8.5 billion takeover of messaging service Skype, as Europe's second-highest court ruled against claims by rival Cisco that the 2011 deal would harm competition.
The decision means Microsoft can continue to market Skype's video calls to consumers and businesses without making any concessions to Cisco or others offering similar products.
Cisco's concern about the Skype deal stems from the fact it sells more expensive hardware to help companies with video conferencing, while Microsoft's alternative, based on Skype, can do much the same via a computer equipped with a webcam.
Cisco, the world's top network equipment maker, said at a hearing in May that Microsoft's acquisition of Skype, the largest internet video and voice messaging provider, created a monopoly. Cisco said the European Commission was wrong to approve the deal without demanding concessions from Microsoft.
The Luxembourg-based General Court said Cisco had failed to show that the takeover would harm competition.
"Microsoft's acquisition of Skype is compatible with the (European Union's) internal market. The merger does not restrict competition either on the consumer video communications market or on the business video communications market," the judges said.
The court said Cisco's large share of the enterprise communications market and the existence of other rivals prevent Microsoft from impeding competition in this sector.
Cisco, which filed its challenge together with Italian fixed-line and internet telephone provider and Skype rival Messagenet SpA, originally said it would not appeal to the EU Court of Justice, Europe's highest. But it later withdrew that comment.
To defend itself against Microsoft, Cisco had pushed for a common set of technology standards in video conferencing to make sure that products offered by different firms work together. It had hoped to get backing from the EU case to ensure such "interoperability" of video calls.
"We are hopeful that in the interest of customers and consumers, Microsoft and others in the industry will join us and continue to rally around this ideal and work together to achieve an open, interoperable video community," said a spokeswoman. "We have no comment about an appeal."
Consumers and companies have been switching to cheaper internet-based voice and video services such as Skype, Viber, Google Talk and WhatsApp.
A third of the world's voice calls are now made on Skype, with more than 280 million users spending more than 100 minutes monthly, Microsoft COO Kevin Turner said in March.
Both the Commission and Microsoft welcomed the court ruling.
"Today's judgment by the EU General Court confirms that the Commission was correct in its assessment that the acquisition of Skype by Microsoft would not significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic Area," the EU antitrust regulator said.

- - Is my Veiled Angelfish ill or being bullied?
Is my Veiled Angelfish ill or being bullied? Reposting. I apologize profusely for not filling out the form earlier. I'm new here, and I was at work and panicked when my fiancee called me saying my new Angelfish's condition was getting worse. Hopefully I can find someone who can help me. :( 1. Size of tank?: 75 gallon long. 2. Water parameters a. Ammonia? 0 b. Nitrite? 0 c. Nitrate? Roughly 10. d. pH, KH and GH? PH is 7.8. e. Test kit? API Master Kit. 3. Temperature?: 80 degrees F. 4. FW (fresh water) or BW (brackish)? : Freshwater. 5. How long the aquarium has been set up?: Roughly six weeks. 6. What fish do you have? How many are in your tank? How big are they? How long have you had them?: Six fish in this tank. One Senegal Bichir (3.5-4", had him for two months [was in a 30 gallon prior]), one Red Tailed Black Shark (3", had him/her for two months, was also in the 30 gallon), one Pictus Catfish (3.5", had him for two weeks), one Opaline Gourami (3", had her for two weeks), and one Veiled Angelfish (1.5", had her for two days). 7. Were the fish placed under quarantine period (minus the first batch from the point wherein the tank is ready to accommodate the inhabitants)?: Not in my tanks. 8. a. Any live plants? Fake plants?: Two fake plants (put them in there initially for territory markers) and four live plants (four miscellaneous medium plants purchased from Top Fin that I have yet to identify). b. Sand, gravel, barebottom?: Silica sand. c. Rocks, woods, fancy decors? Any hollow decors?: One large rock cave with many openings, one aquarium decoration (skull), one hollow log, one hollow floating aquarium log, five river rocks. 9. a. Filtration?: Emperior Bio Wheel 400 with two filter cartridges and two media cartridges, both filled with polyfiber. b. Heater?: Yes, heats up to 90 gal. 10. a. Lighting schedule? What lights are used?: Lights are turned on at 9 am, off at 9pm after feeding. I use a 48" Tropic Sun light from Zoo Med. b. Any sunlight exposure? How long?: They are in a garage with one window so there is indirect sunlight exposure during the daylight hours. 11. a. Water change schedule?: Weekly. b. Volume of water changed?: 20% weekly, 30% monthly. c. Well water, tap water, RO water?: Tap water. d. Water conditioner used?: Stress Coat. e.

Freeze dried bloodwords and shrimp served sparingly as treats, relatively three times a week. How often are they fed?: Listed above. 13. a. Any abnormal signs/symptoms?: The Angelfish is the one with an issue. I brought her home two days ago, on Saturday. The next day I noticed a chunk missing from her dorsal fin and guessed it may have either been nipped prior to my purchase of her, or during the night before. However today, her dorsal fin's condition has deteriorated further. It is currently only her dorsal fin affected. I have a 30 gallon tank which currently houses a small Blood Parrot. I can move the BP into the 75 and move the Angel into the 30 for now to quarantine her if an illness is suspected. b. Appearance of poop?: Normal, I believe. Thin strings of pale brown feces. c. Appearance of gills?: Normal. 14. a. Have you treated your fish ahead of diagnosis?: No. b. What meds were used?: None. 15. Insert photos of fish in question and full tank shot if necessary. http://i42.tinypic.com/1etg9f.jpg <-- Full tank shot http://i42.tinypic.com/1zb7y8k.jpg <-- My Veiled Angel with deteriorating dorsal fin. |
PH of 7.8 is high, it should be 6.5-7.0 range for angels.Senegal Bichir 3.5-4", one Red Tailed Black Shark 3", one Pictus Catfish 3.5", one Opaline Gourami. all of them are semi aggressive and fin nippers plus all are bigger then the angelfish. get the angel out or it will die in there.either from stress or being eaten. |

well if you says it's ok then good for you =) not all fishes are the same in behavior so check their requirements first before adding fishes next time and you'll have nothing to worry about in the future.good luck with the tank. |
While the Angelfish will indeed grow to six plus inches with good care, It is only one and a half inches now according to you.(Too small to protect itself) With the exception of the clown loaches,, (fairly active all the time)the other fish you have do indeed as you say, hide a lot during the day but this all changes at night after light's are off and these fish become more active. It is during this time when active /aggressive nature of fishes could be taking a toll on other fishes (ie) damage to fin's, and or simply stressing the other fish to point that it becomes more vulernable to secondary infections at other wise mildly damaged area's. This seem's to be the case as the fish began to quickly heal according to you, after being removed for a week. Is quite a bit of room for the Gourami and Angelfish to co-exist (or not), but I would expect trouble as the Bichir grow's, and also trouble from the Red tail shark as they become increasingly annoyed with the constant exploring /intrusion's to their territory from the clown loaches. Long delicate fins of Angelfish make inviting target's for the red tail shark and clown loaches as well who also on occasion nip at said slow ,long finned fishes. Clown loaches appreciate oxygen rich water with moderate to strong movement to remain healthy, and this movement may prove to be not so much enjoyed by the Angelfish or Angelfishes. Am pleased the small angelfish is recovering but I am doubtful that flow from filter had anything to do with fin damge and am more iclined to suspect damage by any one of the other tankmates while leaning heavily towards the redtail shark or bichir, despite you preriodic observation's and assurances. |

Luke Owen, Co-Founder and CEO, is an Entrepreneurs' entrepreneur, Luke started his first business at an early age leveraging the Internet to supplement his allowance. After a successful run working for Gateway Computers selling PCs, in early 2003 he joined Rackspace Hosting, then just a startup Web hosting provider. A year later as part of Rackspace's leadership team, Luke led a turnaround of an underperforming business unit that not only led to profit, but exceeded revenue expectations by over 200%. As Director of Fanatical Support, Luke was responsible for half of Rackspace's Managed Hosting business, where he ensured that his teams were not only the best technical staff in the industry, but also leading in customer service. As Luke helped to build Fanatical Support, customers responded and the resulting growth demanded a more strategic location for hiring top talent. Luke led the opening of Rackspace Hosting's Austin Office, which now boasts over 300 employees, successfully bringing Rackspace's unique employee-focused culture outside of headquarters—a feat many thought impossible at the time.
Luke spent his final three years at Rackspace as a Director of Operations, providing business analysis, service delivery consistency, and operational excellence. He successfully launched a major Cloud hosting product that ultimately became one of Rackspace's top selling solutions. Luke is married to Razil, and has two wonderful children, Olivia and Jonas.

As a subscriber to humanist and atheist ideals, I was shocked to see that the American Humanist Association would stoop so low as to demand the removal of a harmless roadside memorial, especially as it appears to have been made with love and did not interrupt anybodyâs life (âMother loses battle for roadside tribute to son,â March 6).
However, the âmemorialsâ put up by others in its place appear to consist of nothing more than snarky comments written on flimsy paper and stapled to stakes (â1 cross downâ¦6 more up,â March 7).
Iâm not opposed to roadside memorials, and of course one can write whatever one wishes on them, but these replacements do not begin to memorialize the tragic event that happened there.
They should be removed, and the family of the young man who died there should be able to put up a memorial.
The community has spoken supportively and I, for one, will be writing to the AHA in support of the family to be able to mourn their son in peace.
