Supermarket giant Asda has scrapped plans to build a store in an employment blackspot that had promised to deliver 300 jobs.
The supermarket chain has shelved plans to build the new 40,000 sq ft store in Denaby - one of the most deprived areas in Britain.
The company's plans to open the new larger store, that were unveiled last year, were warmly welcomed by residents with almost 100 per cent backing the proposal for the store on the Whyte Chemicals site on Denaby Lane.
Plans for the store had included a 380 space car park and a petrol filling station.
The development was set to replace the Asda store already in Denaby.
Commenting on the situation, an Asda spokesperson said: "When we set our five year strategy in 2013, we said that we will continue to build stores, but we will not build at any cost. The circumstances around this decision do not solely relate to Denaby, and in fact apply to several new store schemes.
"The way customers shop has changed at a more pronounced pace in the last five years than in the last 20 years put together. Unfortunately, this means the plans we started to put in place in Denaby will not go ahead.
"We would like to thank all the local people who have supported our plans. We know that people will be disappointed with our decision not to open a new store, but customers in the area can still access our low prices at our existing Denaby store and through online shopping.
We will continue to serve our customers to our best ability, however they choose to shop with us."
Speaking at the time Planning officer Andrew Suddes said: "Denaby is in the top 10 per cent of the most deprived areas in Britain.
"These plans will help claw back trade from the centre of town and help to strengthen the local economy."
The current store is based in Hill Top Road in Denaby,
The firm has 10 supermarkets in the Doncaster region including major stores at Lakeside and Carcroft.

Great Slave Lake ice road

Great Slave Lake ice road Yellowknife Reviews
6 reviews
winter ice road Apr 03, 2009
If you are driving to or from Yellowknife, one can cross the Great Slave lake by ferry in the summer. But in the winter, one gets to drive across the frozen lake. I've only flown into town :P They are building a bridge but by the time it's built, I may have moved south already.
As per wiki, ice roads are frozen man-made structures linked by frozen waterway to waterway which provide access to and from communities that have no permanent road access. They are best known for their role in the transport systems of isolated regions in Canada's north, mainly because of documentaries and TV series such as "Ice Road Truckers."
I didn't realize the significance of ice roads till I went to the grocery store in the fall and there was barely any bread, produce or meat/poultry on the shelves. The ice roads weren't ready and the ferry has closed for the season. It can be a logistical nightmare when delivery trucks are stuck on the wrong side of the lake. This occurrence happens again in the spring so we best stock up in the interim.
My pictures were taken on the way to a small town of Dettah. I wasn't really particularly thrilled of driving a half-ton pickup truck across the lake but it's makes for a fun afternoon.
The aerial shots were photographed on the way to work at one of the diamond mines.

I'm not usually one for big, overall prints, but this dress was just too sweet to pass up. I love the mixture of the dark and lighter colors, and how easy it is to wear.
This dress was another great find from Runway Fashion Exchange in Chandler. I've been loving each piece I picked up from there earlier this month, and can't wait to go back sometime soon and see what new items they have out on their racks. I'm in need of some new fall plaid!

I'm off to class this morning and hoping for a really good day. Tonight one of Scott's classes is meeting at an art museum (jealous) and while he's in class I'm hoping to be able to go visit my parents and pup (they're out of town, but still not very far away). It almost seems crazy how much I miss my little Scout, but honestly he has made my whole world that much brighter and I'm so thankful to have him in our family. I'm already looking forward to dressing him up for Halloween (I may have bought him a skeleton t-shirt!), and I'm really excited to take him on more outings and walks once he's back home. Ok, I'm off to class!
What is making your day today? Are you into prints?

Naan bites with tomato chutney
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This recipe can be made in advance, it's easy to scale up and is a crowd puller. Prepare the tomato chutney even a week or two in advance, buy rest of the ingredients and throw this recipe together after your friends arrive. —Annada Rathi
Serves 6
Tomato chutney
- 8 medium roma tomatoes diced into 1/2" pieces
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons peeled, grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 3 teaspoons red chile powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
Naan bites
- 4 pieces of Naan bread
- 1 cup tomato chutney
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- Toast fenugreek seeds in a dry skillet for 5-10 minutes. Grind them in a spice blender once cool.
- Pour oil in a large - about 3 quart -, thick-bottomed pot and tune the heat to medium. Add cumin and mustard seeds. Once the seeds stop their popping and dancing, put turmeric powder, diced tomatoes, ginger and garlic.
- Turn the heat down to low and let cook. Keep an eye and stir intermittently to avoid sticking to the pot. In about 30-35 minutes, tomatoes will start secreting oil.
- Mix red chile powder, salt, tamarind paste, cumin and fenugreek powder into the tomato mixture. Stir well and let cook for 15 minutes. On cooling down, store this chutney in a dry, glass bottle. Stays well in the fridge for 3 weeks.
- Just before serving, pre-heat oven at 300 degrees. Put naan pieces in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
- Take out the naan pieces before they become toasty and spread cream cheese generously and tomato chutney. Cut into 2" x 2" pieces and serve to a crowd. (After spreading chutney and cutting into pieces, taste and decide if like a heavy layer of the chutney or a light one and adjust accordingly.)

Genres: Urban Fantasy

Source: Publisher
Excerpt: Excerpt
Sexual Content: Sex scenes.
Reviewed by: Julia
Griffin Shaw and his wife were both murdered fifty years ago. Now a minor angel, Grif's been granted permission to solve the mystery of his own death... if he helps the Pure angels guide those souls who might otherwise be Lost.
Souls like Jeap Yang, a drug addict in his final moments of life. Grif knows that death is coming, but he cannot intervene. However, Grif's mortal lover, reporter Katherine "Kit" Craig, isn't constrained by angelic protocol. If she can stop a death, she will.
But as Kit is about to find out, there are things more traumatic and evil than murder. A strange new drug is literally eating tweakers' flesh from their bones, and Kit's crusade to get it off the streets is set to propel her and Grif into a battle with a vicious drug cartel. They'll have to scramble to stay alive, stay together, and choose their own fate... before it's chosen for them.
There is no denying the technicolor beauty of Vicki Pettersson's rockabilly heroine, Kit Craig. Each crisp, thoughtful detail brings the scent, feel, and lush sensuality of her perspective to life. In THE LOST, however, Pettersson reveals the fragility beneath Kit's meticulous habits, the dark correllary of her structured world.
Though I adore the moments when I can lose myself in Pettersson's writing, in the poetry of Kit and Griff's experiences, those immersive set pieces do not span the entire story. I have a hard time framing the confluence of religion and magic that is Griff's reality, which means all of the revelations that hinge on Griff's angelic journey (or Kit's place in it) take me out of the moment. I got sidetracked trying to assemble the rules governing Chosen and Lost, Pure and Fallen, and each one of those moments detracted from reading momentum. I like examining how a magical system works, but I would have enjoyed THE LOST more if I could stop trying to understand how Pettersson's angelic ranks worked. The characters are fantastic, the writing is superb, and if I could have lost myself in the magic of this universe my review would have been 4 bats rather than 3.
While the vivid imagery of Pettersson's world created cinematic quality moments that I loved reading, that over the top passion also creates dramatic moments that overshot my ability to be invested. When so much of Kit and Griff's human/ angelic relationship relies on a magical system I don't fully comprehend, it's hard to be emotionally invested in their future. I know that moments between these two characters can be some of the most beautiful I've read, I'm just not sure if I believe in any possability of a happily ever after for them. Luckily, in Pettersson's capable hands, even loss can be beautiful.Series Titles:

Both of these two new products work well together to get better results; first by working out to FOCUS T25™ and then immediately drinking a Vanilla Shakeology® afterward to replenish and refuel.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 07, 2013
Orders can be placed with free shipping here for FOCUS T25™ and here for Vanilla Shakeology®.
All orders of the FOCUS T25™ Base Version also include a bonus workout DVD, Core Speed (a $19.95 value).
Both of these two new products work well together to get better results; first by working out to FOCUS T25™ and then immediately drinking a Vanilla Shakeology® afterward to replenish and refuel.
Beachbody has offered this promotion since the release of these two new products on Monday June 24th, right after the Team Beachbody Coach Summit in Las Vegas.
Both products have been highly anticipated and years in the making.
With Vanilla Shakeology®, Beachbody sought out the purest, highest-grade, all-natural vanilla source. Co-Creator of Shakeology®, Darin Olien, finally found the pure vanilla they were looking for all the way off the southeastern coast of Africa on the island of Madagascar. The responses of people who've tried the new Vanilla Shakeology® flavor on the Shakeology Facebook Page are unanimous that the flavor is amazing.
With FOCUS T25™, it came by special request from the CEO of the company, Carl Daikeler, to Insanity trainer, Shaun T, to create a program that gets results like Insanity, in under 30 minutes a day. Shaun T says it gets results better than Insanity in just 25 minutes a day. Early test participants in the commercial prove this is true, with significant weight loss and six-pack abs.
It's a ten-week program, which is about the same length as Insanity. It's a fast and effective workout that doesn't waste time; it's all about getting great results. There are eleven workouts on nine DVDs that will push your body be the best it can be. These workouts are packed with cardio and resistance moves that require minimal equipment to do and 100% focus and commitment to get lean and ripped.
For those who feel intimidated by the program, there's a modifier for lower impact moves provided by trainer Tania. This program is great for everybody who's got a busy schedule and values their time.
For people who want to build muscle after becoming leaner, add-on the FOCUS T25™ Gamma Package, which introduces heavier weights into the workouts. It also includes a Gamma workout calendar, resistance bands, and a cushioning minimat. There's also a lower cost DVD-only option.
All current packages and promotions can be viewed and ordered today at the HelpMeGetFit.com Beachbody® store.

USDJPY's medium-term trend has turned from bullish to bearish. BofAML's Macneil Curry warns that the break of the old May highs suggest weakness should extend further with the 200-day moving avarege at 99.71 as a minimum downside target. Given the JPY's weighting in the USD Index basket, this does not have specific bearish USD implications but does have significant effect on equities as the JPY carry trade comes under pressure.
Via BofAML's Macneil Curry,
$/¥ turns trend, but the US $, in general, is still bullish
$/¥ has turned medium term trend. The break of the old May highs at 103.74 has completed a 3 week Head and Shoulders Top, targeting 102.07/102.30, but weakness should extend much further. The completed 5 wave advance from the Feb'12 lows says we should expect minimum downside targets to the 200d at 99.71, and eventually the Jun'13/Apr'13 lows at 93.79/92.57 before greater signs of stabilization and a resumption of the LONG TERM uptrend towards 124/147 (to be fine-tuned).
However, the $/¥ story does not have broader implications for the US $.
Treasuries roll bullish, but how far can they go?
US Treasuries continue to rally following Friday's bullish reversals across the curve. In the very near term, 10yr yields may hold 2.827%/2.823% area resistance, but as long as 2.935% support remains intact, the risks remain to the downside in yield. KEY RESISTANCE IS SEEN AT 2.792%.
Through here says that we have undergone a medium term bullish turn in trend, exposing the larger, multi-month range lows between 2.544%/2.468%.

It's not always easy being gay, in the real world or the virtual.
But while progress in the everyday world of work, society and relationships has given us the chance to lead our lives as openly — or flamboyantly — as we want, our comparative lives in videogames can remain rather staid and, unsurprisingly, straight.
While gaming has grown as a mass-media entertainment, videogame aesthetics often feel trapped in a tweener boy's perspective, where every massively muscled man is an overcompensation for physical geekiness and every large-breasted woman is a direct descendant of Princess Leia's skimpy bikini appearance in Return of the Jedi.
While online role-playing games like World of Warcraft allow GLBT gamers to build their own guilds and societies, the sandbox nature of the game — just drop in and do whatever you want, whether killing giant spiders or sewing silk purses — means there's no involving overall narrative in which the orientation of a character (gay or straight) plays any role.
Console games for XBox 360 and Playstation 3 generally offer more narrative, but almost exclusively force players to experience them from a straight, male perspective — even lead female characters are designed to satisfy the needs of straight guys, who are the only people in the world who would design versatile armor for women that can be worn to both battles and beaches.
One high-profile and refreshing change to that perspective is Fable 2 , a game that allows you to be as flamingly gay or bruisingly butch as you want to be. An open-world fantasy, Fable 2 presents players with myriad choices, both moral and mundane, all of which shape how your characters appear in — and interact with — the world. Set in a European-style magical world of peasants and castles, heroes and villains, the story makes your choices an integral part of the experience.
Sex and marriage play important roles in the game and unlike, say, California, you can marry whomever you want — as long as your courtship is effective. Flirt with any one of the local bachelors and you may soon find yourself setting up a domicile with him and bringing home presents of flowers and chocolate. Want to have sex with a prostitute? Go for it, but be sure to buy a condom first. Prefer to dress your beefy warrior in frilly frocks and a sassy bob? No one is going to stop you.
It goes a long way toward building a connection with your character, rather than just moving an on-screen figure from one location to the next.
Choosing an appearance for your character is one of the easiest and quickest ways to express your big gay self in a game, but not all games are designed for that level of control. Run-and-gun games like Gears of War 2 are heavily invested in the pre-designed, hyper-masculine lead characters, so it's unlikely the developers will soon allow you to deck them out with some tasteful rainbow accessories. Of course, the men of Gears are so overly muscled and eagerly male-bonded that they verge into camp, so they may already be gay enough for you.
Other gaming genres offer more chances to gay your characters up. Fighting games have long been a schizophrenic blend of dress-up dolls and straight-boy hormonal urges — this is the gaming genre, after all, that has pumped millions of dollars into breast physics to ensure that oversize mammaries have the perfect bounce, while constantly rewarding skilled players with…new outfits!
The recent Soul Calibur 4 takes those elements to new extremes with a character-creation system that lets you put together your own ridiculously clad fighters — for once, men and women both can enter a sword battle protected by nothing more than a metallic codpiece. Strike a blow for equality.

In Response To: Re: Mazique, August & Sarah ()
Hello Cynthia, my name is Edward Craig Mazique II and I am really interested in tracing back the Mazique history. I am only 23 so unfortunately I missed out on a lot of the stories and lessons they may have been told to other Mazique's. My knowledge of our history only dates back to my grandfather Edward Craig Mazique M.D. and before that is very grey for me. I have been following the threads and I am greatly interested in finding out more. Where can I find the family tree that you have been mentioning?

| ReaperRain chapter 1 . 6/17/2007
Hahaha...that was hilarious! I do love yugioh GX, even the dub version, but it'd be so much better if 4kids hadn't got their hands on it. I don't mind some of the dub names (Jaden, Zane, Chazz, even Syrus...) but I agree that they could have done better than 'hassleberry' or 'sartorius' (I mean, come on! Where the heck did they come up with THAT?)
I think I loved the gangster bit best, especially:
"The past five minutes did not just exist—do you understand me, Edo Phoenix?" he hissed in the sternest, threatening manner he could muster up with dignity after posing to be a wannabe gangster.
Wonderful! I don't normally like OOC-ness, but it works wonders for humour. Great story!

Marcia Leventhal, Past President of the Working Group on Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions of the Swiss Society of Cardiology, opened the Cardiovascular Nursing Meeting in Geneva with a warm welcome. Christi Deaton FESC, Chair of the ESC Council on Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions, followed to present highlights of the innovative and diverse programme with something for everyone. Professor Deaton encouraged participants to take this opportunity to network with colleagues from Europe and beyond. Nicolas Masson, current President of the Working Group on Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions of the Swiss Society of Cardiology, also commented on the wealth of the topics to be discussed at the meeting. Praise for the ESC Council on Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions came from Professor Roberto Ferrari, President of the ESC. He expressed his appreciation of the Council's collaboration with other ESC groups and external societies and its exemplary participation in ESC activities. The Swiss government and the canton of Geneva were represented by Professor Pierre François Unger who highlighted that today's nurses and technicians are highly competent individuals in the latest technologies – indeed vocation is no longer enough. The scientific sessions began with Professor Roberto Ferrari, President of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), who presented the European Heart for Children, an incentive to promote knowledge and treatment of CHD and related disorders in children and young adults in ESC member countries and beyond. Managed by the recently created Humanitarian Foundation, this will be a long term project of 20 years in 3 stages:
Professor Ferrari will be responsible for the project for the next 8 years. Beat Friedli from Switzerland gave a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology and treatment for children with CHD. The defects, their effects, consequences and complications were clearly explained as well as the type of treatments available. This Opening Session ended with an interesting collaboration between Norway and Russia in the field of paediatric heart surgery. Britt Fredriksen from Oslo described how a Norwegian team provided training and equipment to colleagues in Archangel to help save young children. The experience proved that even with unsophisticated equipment and very basic circumstances, much can be achieved with will-power, inner strength and empathy.

Lemony Salmon Fillet Wrapped in Chard is a simplified recipe for an exquisite dish
Peggy Lampman | Contributor
One of the favorite food sites to which I subscribe is Citron & Vanille — the recipes are always interesting and delicious, but sometimes the products are difficult to source, and the preparation can be extensive. Case in point, her recipe for Saumon en Feuilles de Blettes, Puree de Chou-fleur, Fondue de Legumes et Jus d'Estragon.
I divided the recipe in half — Richard and I are dining alone. I only required 2 large chard leaves, so I cut the remaining bunch of chard into ribbons, which I incorporated into a box of Far East Roasted Pecan and Garlic Whole Grain Blend. This is one of my favorite "instant" sides — it doesn't leave my mouth with a residue of garlic powder and other indecipherable ingredients, and it sure is quick. (With all of the Near East blends, you may consider only using 1/2 package of seasoning to reduce the sodium content.)
Everyday salmon gets a refreshing makeover when wrapped in large blanched chard leaves, and I encourage you to try it. This is a recipe I will absolutely make again — perhaps experimenting with a different fish fillet. If you've the time to recreate the entire recipe, sign me jealous!
Yield: 2 servings
Time: 35 minutes
2 salmon fillets (approx. 1/2 pound each; center cut preferred)
2 large chard leaves
Fresh squeezed lemon juice, as needed, plus extra slices for garnish
1 tablespoon grape seed or canola oil
Extra-virgin olive oil as needed
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch chard leaves until softened, no more than a minute or it will fall apart. (You may want to blanch the entire bunch and use as a side dish - see above notes.) Drain and run under cold water; pat dry.
3. With a sharp knife, cut out the hard, center vein from each chard leaf; you will be left with four panels.
4. With a sharp knife, cut off skin from each salmon fillet and season with kosher salt, freshly ground pepper and lemon juice. In a saute pan large enough to accommodate fillets, heat oil to high heat. Sear fillets, without jiggling pan, 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown but undercooked in the center.
5. Arrange 4 chard panels, lengthwise, on an oil lined baking sheet or piece of parchment paper. Center each fillet on top of 2 panels and wrap each fillet with chard. Drizzle with olive oil and bake on center rack of oven 5-10 minutes, depending on thickness of fillet and desired level of doneness.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, March 5. THE USA Swimming Grand Prix in Indianapolis came to a close with North Baltimore's Michael Phelps finishing a five-for-five effort with two more triumphant times. The meet took place at the IU Natatorium at IUPUI in long course meter format.
In an exciting head-to-head battle between Phelps and Daytona Beach's Ryan Lochte, Phelps crushed Lochte in the men's 200 IM with a sterling time of 1:56.88. That swim demolished Lochte's previous top-ranked time of 1:59.26 and closed to within two seconds of Lochte's world record (1:54.10) and Lochte's textile best (1:54.43). Lochte, meanwhile, settled for second in the high profile swim with a 1:59.19 to better his season best. Trojan's Markus Rogan wound up third overall in 2:00.08.
Phelps followed that up with a triumphant swim in the men's 100 free, clocking a 48.89. That is the first swim under 49 seconds this year, besting the previous world pacesetter of 49.00 posted by Yannick Agnel. Tucson Ford's Matt Grevers took second in 50.01, while Rose Bowl's Jason Lezak claimed third in 50.08.
Phelps finished his meet with a five-for-five-for-five performance. Five events, five wins, five world bests. After a less-than-dominant 2010, Phelps has definitely begun to look like he's on his way back to his usual self with the 2012 London Olympics in his crosshairs.
Lochte returned for the second of his three swims tonight with a winning effort of 1:57.63 from lane eight to move into second in the world behind Tyler Clary's 1:57.31 from the Austin Grand Prix. Swim Ontario's Matt Hawes claimed second-place honors in 1:58.85, while SwimMAC's Nick Thoman snagged third in 1:59.66. Lochte finished his night with a 12th-place effort of 50.78 in the 100 free.
Thoman returned in the men's 400 medley relay to leadoff SwimMAC's relay with a 53.93 100-meter back time. That swim would have won the 100 back last night, and moved him to third in the world rankings.
Canada's Erica Morningstar led the way in the women's 200 IM with a 2:12.59. That performance cleared the top-ranked time in the world of 2:12.79 set by Stephanie Rice in Sydney last month. Julia Smit touched second in 2:14.11, while Delaware's Kaitlyn Jones, 16, finished third in 2:16.32.
Colorado Stars' Missy Franklin, 15, crushed the competition in the women's 200 back with a winning time of 2:07.96. She cleared her lifetime best of 2:08.05 set at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships, and just missed the top time in the world of 2:07.75 set by Belinda Hocking at the New South Wales Championships last month. Crow Canyon's Madison White placed a distant second in 2:12.49, while Swim Ontario's Brittany MacLean earned third-place honors in 2:12.70.
California's Dana Vollmer scorched the women's 100 freestyle finale with a winning time of 54.36. That put her in the conversation with the top swimmers in the world, as Femke Heemskerk currently owns the top effort this year with a 54.12. Trojan's Jessica Hardy picked up second in 54.70, while Canada's Victoria Poon placed third in 54.88. Franklin grabbed fourth in 54.93, just missing the U.S. National Age Group record of 54.91 owned by Lia Neal in the 15-16 age division.
In distance events, 2010 Grand Prix circuit winner Chloe Sutton of Mission Viejo snatched the women's 800 free title in 8:29.20 to become one of just a handful of swimmers under 8:30 this year, while FAST's Kate Ziegler joined her under 8:30 with a second-place 8:29.84. FAST's Katie Hoff snagged third-place honors with an 8:33.24.
Trojan's Ous Mellouli topped the men's 1500 free in 15:04.16, short of his top-ranked time of 15:01.65 from the Missouri Grand Prix. Chip Peterson (15:15.25) and Michael Klueh (15:18.46) rounded out the top three.

Qaeda under Zahawiri may call for global Intifada
Senior analyst B Raman notes that newly appointed Al Qaeda chief Ayman Al-Zahawiri may further advocate for a global jihadi Intifada against 'crusaders and Zionist regimes.'
Six weeks after the death of Osama bin Laden on May 2, Al Qaeda's general command has announced the appointment of Ayman al-Zawahiri of Egypt, who was Osama's No 2, as the new head of terror outfit.
A statement announcing his appointment was posted on a website associated with Al Qaeda. It was attributed to the general command. It said: "Sheikh Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, may God guide him, assumed responsibility as the group's Amir (leader)".
It vowed that under Zawahiri, Al Qaeda would pursue jihad against the United States and Israel 'until all invading armies leave the land of Islam.'
Earlier, on May 18, quoting Pakistani security sources, Al Jazeera had reported that Al Qaeda had appointed Saif al-Adel, formerly of the Egyptian army, as its interim leader and Mohammed Mustafa al-Yemeni as its operations chief. Al Jazeera had said: "According to the sources, the decision (on the appointments) was made at a meeting on May 10 on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border."
According to Al Jazeera, Adnan al-Khairi al-Masri was named as Al Qaeda's general command head, Mohammed Nasser al Wahshi as its Africa chief, Mohammed Adam Khan, an Afghan, as in charge in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Fahd al-Iraqi as in charge of the Afghan-Pakistani border region.
Since the earlier report had emanated from Pakistani sources there was some doubt about its reliability. The latest statement regarding the appointment of Zawahiri as the head was posted in one of the web sites used by Al Qaeda for such announcements and hence appears to be more authentic.

Saif al-Adel was said to have been a critic of Osama's arbitrary ways of taking important operational decisions and had reportedly questioned the wisdom of the 9/11 terrorist strikes in the US since those strikes, according to him, enabled the US to mobilise the international community against Al Qaeda.
The latest statement of Al Qaeda regarding the appointment of Zawahiri is silent on the earlier appointments as announced by Al Jazeera on the basis of information provided by Pakistani sources.
Zawahiri has been advocating since February 12, 2007, a global jihadi Intifada, which would cover all lands in the world, 'which rightfully belong to Islam.'
However, he specifies certain areas, which he thinks should receive special attention first. Of these, he gives the topmost priority to Afghanistan and Iraq.
He says the future of Islam and of the global Intifada itself will be decided in those countries. If they can defeat the Americans there, the jihadis' victory in the rest of the lands will be assured.
After mentioning these two countries, he mentions certain other areas specifically. He believes that the victory of the jihadis in these areas would also be crucial for the ultimate victory of Islam.
These areas are Palestine, including Gaza, the Lebanon, Somalia, Algeria and Chechnya in Russia. He describes Somalia as the southern garrison of Islam and Algeria as its western garrison.

His past statements had included Jammu and Kashmir as among historic Muslim lands under occupation by non-Muslims and hence to be "liberated".
He had drawn the attention of the Pakistani people to the danger of Gen Pervez Musharraf colluding with the Hindus if he was not removed from power. However, he had not spoken of the Muslims living in other parts of India outside J&K.
By Jihadi Intifada, he means a kind of struggle in which the role of motivated individual Muslims will become more important than that of organisations so that the weakening or collapse of an organisation does not result in a collapse of the Intifada. He wants the Intifada to acquire a momentum of its own as a result of the sacrifices of individual Muslims.
He said in his message of January 22, 2007: "Every Muslim today is directly responsible for defending Islam, Islam's homeland and the Islamic Ummah and he is responsible for the efforts to liberate the Muslim captives foremost of whom is Sheikh Omar Abdl al-Rahman from the prisons of the crusaders and their helpers and we reaffirm to the families of the Guantanamo captives who are demonstrating these days in Cuba, that we -- with God's permission -- have not and will not forget our captives and that their liberation is a debt on our necks and that the Americans must expect to pay the price for everything they have done to them."
In his past statements, he downplayed the importance of a central command and control in keeping the Intifada going. The motivation of individual Muslims was more important than any centralised command and control.
He also projects the Intifada as a mix of military and non-military struggles. He says in his message of December 20, 2006: "We must bear arms. And if we are unable to bear them, then we must support those who carry them. This support comes in many forms and guises, so we must exploit all Da'wah, student and union activities to back the jihadi resistance....... The Muslim Ummah must exploit all methods of popular protest, like demonstrations, sit-ins, strikes, refusing to pay taxes, preventing cooperation with the security forces, refusing to provide the crusaders with fuel, hitting traders who supply the crusader forces, boycotting crusader and Jewish products, and other ways of popular protest."

The importance of the role of individual Muslims has been re emphasised in a video circulated by the propaganda wing of Al Qaeda on June 8. This video is a collation of messages issued by Zawahiri, Adam Gadahn, the American convert to Islam, who heads the propaganda wing, Atiya Abdel Rahman (Libyan operations chief of Al Qaeda, who was allegedly a key aide to bin Laden when he was hiding in Abbottabad) and Abu Laith Al-Libi.
In his message, Adam Gadahn, who spoke in English, said: "Muslims living in the US are perfectly placed to play an important and decisive part in the jihad against the Zionists and crusaders."
He told them how easy it was to buy automatic assault weapons at gun shows without any identification.
Hinting at a policy of targeted individual assassinations of important governmental and non-governmental leaders, he said: "It's important that we weaken our cowardly enemies' will to fight by targeting influential public figures in crusader and Zionist government, industry and media."
Zawahiri's past statements highlighted his disenchantment with the Palestine Liberation Organisation, Al Fatah and the Hamas.
He asked the Palestinians to take over the responsibility for the Intifada in their own hands. He said in his message of February 12, 2007: "The Muslims in the area should work for the establishment of an Islamic state in Palestine, instead of supporting an individual faction or political party. I'm not asking them to join Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Al Qaeda, but rather, I'm asking them to return to Islam, in order to fight for the establishment of an Islamic state over all of Palestine, and not for the establishment of a secularist state which will please America on crumbs of Palestine."
He wanted the Palestinians as well as the Muslims of the Lebanon to categorically reject all United Nations resolutions and international agreements relating to these lands of Islam.
He told the Lebanese people: "I ask my brothers in Islam and jihad in Lebanon not to give in to resolution 1701, nor accept the pushing back of the Lebanese border 30 kilometers, nor accept the presence of the international crusader forces in the south as a barrier between them and occupied Palestine, even if that resolution is agreed to by all official political forces licensed by the Lebanese government, on the basis of international balances and foreign connections."

In a message of December 20, 2006, Zawahiri said: "Brothers in Islam and jihad in Somalia: know that you are on the southern garrison of Islam, so don't allow Islam to be attacked from your flank, and know that we are with you, and that the entire Muslim Ummah is with you. So don't lose heart, or fall into despair, for you must dominate if you are true in faith. And know that you are fending off the same crusade which is fighting your brothers in Islam in Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon."
"So be resolute, be patient and be optimistic, for by Allah beside whom there is no other god, even if your enemies possess thousands of tons of iron and explosives, in their chests lie the hearts of mice. So be severe against them like Muhammad was."
He also said: "I also send my greetings and those of my brothers to our steadfast brothers in Algeria in the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, the guards of Islam's western garrison. I ask Allah to accept their sacrifices, perseverance and resoluteness, to send down on them His victory which He promised His believing worshippers, and to conquer with them His enemies, the Crusaders and secularist sons of France. And I give them the good news that the winds of victory are blowing, that the Ummah has risen up, and that the era of humiliation has come to a close. So stand firm."

His increased interest in Algeria could be attributed to his desire partly to bring about the rule of the Sharia in Algeria and partly to use Algeria as a rear base for spreading the Intifada to France, Spain and Portugal.
Al Qaeda and its International Islamic Front have been using the Afghanistan-Pakistan region as a rear base for their Jihadi Intifada against the US and the UK. It has not been possible to use it as a rear base against France, Spain and Portugal. They are hoping that an active Jihadi Intifada in Algeria will help in overcoming this deficiency.
In a reference to Chechnya, Zawahiri said in his message of December 20, 2006: "And I send my greetings and those of my brothers to the Chechen people, in iihad against the Russian crusade for 400 years. O sons of Imam Shamil, know that you are not alone in confronting the crusade against Islam. You are at the throats of the Russians and their helpers, and we are at the throats of the Americans and Jews and their followers. So stand firm."
Under the ideological guidance of Zawahiri, Al Qaeda had also been calling upon the Muslims of the world to follow the command of Mulla Mohammad Omar, the Amir of the Taliban.
It was part of his efforts to remove the impression that Wahabi Arabs were in the forefront of the Jihadi Intifada. He has been trying to emphasis that all Muslims are in the Intifada irrespective of their ethnic origin or nationality.
He said in a message of 2007: "Nationalists split the Muslim Ummah into Arabs, Persians, Kurds, Turks, Afghans and others, then split the Arabs into Egyptians, Moroccans, Syrians, Iraqis, Lebanese, Saudis, Yemenis and others and thus provided the best possible service to the crusade invading the Islamic world and instead of the Ummah uniting to confront the colonialist campaign, as it previously united to face the crusade and Mongol invasions, the Ummah fell apart and fought itself."
There was an attempt by Zawahiri to give Mullah Omar an iconic status as a non-Arab commander of the Jihadi Intifada.

Point one: I am tonight setting a clear goal for the energy policy of the United States. Beginning this moment, this nation will never use more foreign oil than we did in 1977 -- never. From now on, every new addition to our demand for energy will be met from our own production and our own conservation. The generation-long growth in our dependence on foreign oil will be stopped dead in its tracks right now and then reversed as we move through the 1980s, for I am tonight setting the further goal of cutting our dependence on foreign oil by one-half by the end of the next decade -- a saving of over 4-1/2 million barrels of imported oil per day.
Point two: To ensure that we meet these targets, I will use my presidential authority to set import quotas. I'm announcing tonight that for 1979 and 1980, I will forbid the entry into this country of one drop of foreign oil more than these goals allow. These quotas will ensure a reduction in imports even below the ambitious levels we set at the recent Tokyo summit.
Point three: To give us energy security, I am asking for the most massive peacetime commitment of funds and resources in our nation's history to develop America's own alternative sources of fuel -- from coal, from oil shale, from plant products for gasohol, from unconventional gas, from the sun.
I propose the creation of an energy security corporation to lead this effort to replace 2-1/2 million barrels of imported oil per day by 1990. The corporation I will issue up to $5 billion in energy bonds, and I especially want them to be in small denominations so that average Americans can invest directly in America's energy security.

Agreed, If OPEC can't keep up the pumps then this all falls through but I think they will try everything they can to keep their biggest customer. Also, all this philanthropic spending on alternative energy will come to an end if it costs more to research alternatives rather than buy oil.
Originally posted by BlackJackal
However, this never came true...... atleast in a permanent fashion.
Let me post a few graphs to help illustrate this.
If you notice in 1986 the domestic production starts going down and the imports start going up. There is a reason behind this as well let me illustrate.
In 1979 Congress, acting on Jimmy Carter's proposal in the aforementioned speech to create an energy security corporation did just that. This corporation was named the Synthetic Fuels Corporation.
This corporation was desinged to do one thing find and discover the viability of alternative energy sources. However, this organization was dismantled in 1986 because they were no longer considered viable.
So, the conspiracy behind all this? Simple, in 1986 OPEC announced the lowest prices of crude oil in many years. This low oil price led Americans to believe that they didn't need to worry about oil, prices were low.
What happened here is that OPEC saw its biggest customer looking for ways to discontinue its use of oil.
OPEC knew that if it lost the US it would lose lots of money so it threw out all the stops to lower the price to make the pursuit of other energy too costly. That is just what they did. They hooked America back on the oil bandwagon.
So I know have to beg the question is this the exact situation now? Does OPEC see America trying to turn from oil and in turn lowering oil prices to make the investments to change to ethanol, hydrogen and other energies too large? I for one think so, however you decide I just provide the information.

Well I guess your whole conspiracy theory would have to hinge on just how long OPEC can keep pumping at this rate.
The collapse of the Saudi Oil Fields for instance would send prices skyrocketing regardless(unless they start selling it for cost just to spite us).
There is also the fact that amount of Philanthropy in developing alternatives is larger then at any point in history!
Some countries are already well on their way to energy independance(Brazil, though it'll cost them large in the end due to the amount of rainforrest they have to cut down to support the whole biofuel scheme...)
and a lot of people in the West have already started the process of becoming more energy efficient(Compact Fluorescen bulbs, added insulation, solar water heating to augment natural gas, etc etc).
Many older people(ie Aging boomers) are starting to take the long view and see that the only way to have a secure retirement is to be as independent financially and energy-wise as possible(some have taken that a step further by starting Coop Urban Organic Farming schemes like in the housing Coop on my street).

actually the majority of bio diesel they get comes from sugar cane, although all one has to do in order to save the rainforest and still utilize bio diesel would be to just grow acres upon acres of hemp, not only does hemp have a greater biomass than sugar cane and corn it rejuvinates the land so you can grow farm crops on it afterwards etc, and also acres of hemp can be grown in seasonally instead of choppin down anything vital that takes decades to grow.

i dont care what the media says ,
there is no vast pockets in the usa. we have not found any, or else we would be pumping it.
if so, show a link on the web telling me different, and are they pumping it or running there mouth.

so they just say f the people we will not sell the new oil pockets to them.
where is all this oil anyways. have you seen the rigs or anything.
well tell me words of knoweledge, why are we in the gulf, with both east and west coast battlegroups?
why are we now useing old retired ships and sending them out? to defend what?
something is happenning with our oil resources , what? the iran nuke thing cannot be the reason for all this, something is happenning here.
can you answer any of these questions. i have no answers,
i just watch the news and go online news all over.tell me why is this happenning?
ill tell you why, it is the oil. there is a problem there.
this nuke thing does not help. we will go to iran. we just don't send 144000 troops on the ground in iraq and send another 30000 troops on ships at the gulf. now we are deploying old retired ships to defend our borders like the one they got out of the mud and the ones in washington, bremerton and others, why.
what are we getting into and what is happenning here? i think it is because of this oil thing and i will stand my ground on the issue.
if we have so much oil why are we not pumping it and selling it to other nations. maybe because the media and people are liers.

Family of al-Qaida propagandist issues statement
CHARLOTTE, NC (AP) — The Charlotte family of the al-Qaida propagandist killed last week in a US airstrike in Yemen says the 25-year-old was a law-abiding US citizen who was assassinated by the American government.
The Charlotte Observer reported that the family of Samir Khan issued a statement Wednesday in which they said the government hasn't contacted them with any news about the recovery of his remains or offered condolences. They said they're appalled by the government's indifference.
Khan's family moved to Charlotte from New York in 2004.
A few years ago, Khan moved to Yemen to produce "Inspire," an English-language magazine for al-Qaida. In one early edition, he wrote that he was proud to be a traitor to America.
On Friday, he was killed along with radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

IDK, actually this seems kind of pricey for a 10-12 pound boid.
But it's cheaper than the repair cost for your backyard deck if you set it on fire trying to DIY of course.

Gee, how many Carole Migden fundraisers was I at at the former Standard Shirts Factory at 399 Grove back in the day? Lots and lots. But those days are history – it's now the era of already four-star-rated Upscale Cajun in the Hayes Valley. Yes, (the) BOXING ROOM is opening soon (and no Fighting Trousers will be necessary.)
Chef Justin Simoneaux has had a few delays getting going but that's what you call par for the course in our bureaucratic 415, right?

Bon Courage, Boxing Room!
All the deets, so far:
"After missing the first couple for various reasons, I've finally made it to the third preview dinner. Looks like the old Citizen Cake space is still being worked on so the opening of the space is not till the spring. Not since the opening of the Moss Room have I tasted Chef Jusin Simoneaux's cuisine, though back then it was structured under Loretta Keller's influence. Now, he's free to express his heritage. Items had:
-Boxing Room's House Salad w/spiced pecans, apples, creole cream cheese
-Louisiana Seafood Gumbo w/brown rice, house made tasso
-Roasted Golden Trout w/brussels sprout, sweet potato, cipolinni onions
-Southern Fried Chicken w/black eye peas, collard greens, smoked ham hock
-Lemon Ice Box Pie
-Bananas Foster Bread Pudding
Everything was hearty and solidly delicious. Im definitely looking forward to a full menu when the space officially launches. The Chef came out to where we were sitting and said hi, and looked to be in good spirits even though they did about 200 covers this night. Staff had tried everything and were upbeat about the food, and took good care of us. Definitely looking forward to the official opening."

I can honestly say that today's episode was the best the viewers have seen in YEARS!!
|Nov 23 2012, 10:50 PM Post #42
I always wondered what happened to Stephanie Cameron after she left DAYS. (Wasn't she Tom Langan's personal trainer or something?) The only other thing I ever saw her in was an episode of Pamela Anderson's syndicated show V.I.P. (LOL, yes, I admit to watching V.I.P.!)
Anyway, this episode was a great bit of nostalgia! I remember that I was always fascinated by Hope's huge wall of bangs. I think Elaine from Seinfeld also had that "wall of bangs" hairstyle. And, wow, Renee Jones looks the same today as she did in 1997! The woman is timeless! Watching this episode also made me realize how much I miss Vivian and Ivan's dynamic. They were awesome and hilarious together. I also used to love all the scenes with John and his "Aunt Viv." And, of course, this episode made me recall JER's writing style with all the flashbacks, dream sequences, and characters talking to themselves. (I started watching DAYS circa 1992, so I have a soft spot in my heart for DAYS' 1992 to 1997 time period.)
I'm curious to see what the ratings for this episode will be. I'll be laughing if this classic episode gets way higher ratings than any current episode of DAYS!

She had a recurring stint on the last season of Melrose Place (as did Steve Wilder, better known as the Ken Doll-Jack).
|Nov 23 2012, 11:42 PM Post #44
Weren't her and Steve Wilder on around the same time too?
I know Cameron played some nurse who slept with Michael. And didn't that cause Jane to grow closer with her boss (Wilder)?

|Krista Allen is just stunning. One of the hottest celebs out there. George Clooney was stupid to let her go.
|Nov 24 2012, 12:04 AM Post #46
Some of you beat me in regards of points I want to make about this show but we've all repeated ourselves before right! Lol.
Kristian Alfonso looked FLAWLESS!!!! My God, I was amazed! I totally remember this episode when it aired all those years ago...and I've rewatched bits and pieces over and over on YouTube but only for the Susan scenes. Seeing this on a big screen tv was �ber cool and KA was just stunning.
Boy do I miss Vivian and Ivan! I love how Vivian wanted to get the hell out of there but would get sucked into the drama....and poor Ivan spilling the beans at the end for numerous reasons...one being his tie. Lol. Great stuff. Of course the teeth would land in Viv's glass. Perfect just like it was all those years ago.
Stephanie Cameron apparently went to the same acting school as Charity Rahmer...although Cameron may have graduated, at least.
Would someone PLEASE take Laura seriously and stop injecting her?!?! Drove me nuts way back when and drove me nuts today!
Susan....my sweet drunken Susan!! That 3 second look on her face when the camera pans to her after the teeth are in Viv's glass is the most priceless 3 seconds of daytime ever. Bless her heart.
Krista Allen is smokin hot!
*sigh* Celeste.....we need you!!!!!!
Stefano in "disguise" is hilarious. Nobody would ever know that's the head of the vampires. No way :).
Im starting to think the writers dont have to dumb John down for a storyline or three, he's been pretty damn dumb before. Lol
Overall, what a blast to see this episode on my tv today. I had the hugest smile all the way thru. I hope they will give us more classic episodes in the future. This is not the episode I would've chosen. Kenny already mentioned the ones more worthy. However, I really enjoyed it!

Good ole JER! Wow! Of course I loved it & didn't turn away once the entire episode! Bo in a towel! Omg! :wub2: Swoon! KA looked sooooo beautiful! I loved seeing Laura, Mike, Carrie, "Jennifer", Celeste & of course my beloved Viv & Ivan! Abe in that hat was hilarious!
The thing I enjoyed the most was that feeling of such URGENCY throughout the whole episode! Would John & Susan leave before she's found out? Will Bo get shot? Will Franco seduce Hope? Are Kristen & Marlena all right? Will anybody spot Stefano? Is anyone going to believe Laura? Will Stefano escape? Will Vivian & Ivan be exposed for helping Kristen? Will Kristen come to before Marlena? And of course, will John rescue Marlena? At the end, I found myself dying to see what happens Monday, but then I remembered this was just a rerun. LOL
JER was the master! One of a kind for sure! :hail: Hopefully TomSell & any possible future Days writers, were watching today! THAT'S how you tell a story!!!! :hail:

Yes! At the end I was like "What! You can't leave me like that!" and my mom was like "At least you know they survive..."
Days was so much better back then. Everyone has turned into a shell of their former selves.

|Waaaaaa!! My DVR is set up to only record new epi's so I don't have this recorded!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|Nov 24 2012, 05:55 PM Post #50
|Funnily enough, I seem to recall that, at the time, JER seemed to be universally despised and trashed as a writer. Obviously, it's difficult to make a true comparison, since we're talking about two completely different times in the age of the Internet, but it's still kind of shocking to see people praising him now.
|Nov 24 2012, 08:02 PM Post #51
This episode made me so nostalgic and so happy and so sad all at once.
I miss JER so much, even though I hated his last three-ish years of stuff on PSNS.
This is never getting deleted from my DVR. Ever.
|Nov 24 2012, 08:07 PM Post #52
I don't remember him being universally despised and trashed until his second run.
|Nov 24 2012, 08:11 PM Post #53
J&M and Family Fanatic!
I wasn't on the net for JER part 1 but I definitely remember the hatred people had for Langan by 2001. I believe it was WORSE than the fury over Higley before she was fired. However as I go back and watch 2000-2001 episodes, the flaws are clearly there but I still enjoy that era more than pretty much anything post 2006.

Why would they do a "re-air" on New Year's Day
|Nov 24 2012, 10:40 PM Post #55
I think it is due to the NHL hockey strike, there was supposed to be a nationally televised game on 01/01 on NBC

|Really loved this old episode. I was just a kid when it originally aired but i remember watching it with my grandma. Loved it start to finish.

A country, X, is run by a corrupt family. The prime minister is notoriously greedy. There is a religious secret police. Another country invades this X, captuiring the family, and rooting out the old government. It proposes a constitution that abolishes the old secret police, creates modern property rights, and asserts the rights of men. The constitution is taken up by a convention composed of some of the leading businessmen in the country. In the meantime, the occupier�s army is met with resistance. The resistance is low level and unorganized at first. The occupier responds with force. The resistance grows. The occupier blames foreigners for the increase in resistance�
Sound familiar? This is pretty much the story of Napoleon�s invasion of Spain.
There�s a pernicious meme that emerged at the end of the �hostilities� in Iraq. The meme was that occupying Iraq would be much like occupying Germany or Japan at the end of World War II. Now, the elements of the likeness, here, were broadly two: The U.S. invaded another country. The U.S. occupied that country. This is about as far as we could go with that analogy. Not only is this a different country, with a very different history. Not only did the occupation of Germany and Japan take place in the face of the Soviet Union�s own occupation of what became East Germany, and of Eastern Europe. But the U.S. of that time was a much different place, too. It was coming out of a Great Depression and the incredible mounting of a war effort that overshadowed anything the U.S. government had ever done before. Etc.
This is not even to get into the finer grained differences of the Iraqi situation, in which the occupying reference would be to the British in 1920-25.
The post-WWII analogy, however, was right to give us a sense that the U.S. has done this before. Hell, we could have produced tons of analogies, from Haiti to Panama, for that matter. Alas, for the general chickenhawk right, the analogy operated as a sort of holy writ. This is where it became pernicious. With all those batty references to Churchill and MacArthur in his mind, Bremer made the cardinal error of the occupation so far, disbanding the Iraqi army. And the idea of a supreme council of exiles attracting the support of the natives � the Adenauer solution, diffused, this time, among Chalabi-bots � is still buzzing like a bee in the bonnets of the D.C. Napoleons around Rumsfeld and Cheney.
A bad analogy generates bad arguments. The current mania on the right is to dig up obscure newspaper articles about the occupation of Germany that criticized the pace, structure or doing of it. Well, the occupation of Germany did have its problems. As Hannah Arendt pointed out in Eichmann in Jerusalem, in 1962, well after Adenauer was established as a reliable U.S. ally, five thousand of West Germany�s eleven thousand judges had been active in the courts under Hitler. The German war crimes investigation unit was only founded in 1958. Even very prominent war criminals had little trouble �hiding� in West Germany through the sixties. Etc. But the main lesson, here, is that there isn�t a lesson. We don�t need an analogy to tell us about Iraq. We have � Iraq.
There was a recent debate at Oxford over the proposition: we are losing the peace in Iraq. Now, the proposition itself was ridiculous. There is no peace in Iraq, so how can we be losing it? The general sense, however, was that the occupation is going badly. The pro-war side won. The speech by Josh Chavetz starts out with the non-sequitor that because the German occupation was a success (or partially � wonder what the East Germans make of that success?), and because the initial American policy was criticized by the press at the time, by a law of historical commutation, the Iraqi policy will be a success. This is, I guess, how they teach political science at Oxford. It is definitely the reason political science is considered a joke science by natural scientists. Here�s how Chavetz�s speech makes its case:
I must begin with a word of apology for my lack of preparation. Not only was I just asked yesterday to speak, but I was also laboring under the apparent misapprehension that we would be addressing the resolution that "This House believes that we are losing the Peace." Yet I find that the honorable gentleman who has just spoken in the affirmative [Jeremy Corbyn, MP] has talked about the war - about Vietnam, oil, Mr. Bush, Mr. Blair, international law, weapons of mass destruction, sanctions, and so on. While these are all issues worthy of serious discussion, I must confess to being somewhat baffled at how these normative questions bear on the empirical resolution that I was told we were to debate.
And an important empirical question it is. Three of the most widely read American magazines have recently run stories on how the occupation is going, and the verdict is unanimous. "Americans are Losing the Victory" screams one. "How We Botched the Occupation" is on the cover of another. "Blueprint for a Mess" is the verdict of the third.
Actually, I've taken some liberties with two of those headlines, so let me start over. "Blueprint for a Mess" is indeed the cover article in this week's New York Times Magazine. But "Americans Are Losing the Victory" is from the January 7, 1945 issue of Life magazine, and the full headline is "Americans are Losing the Victory in Europe." The Saturday Evening Post on January 26, 1946 ran "How We Botched the German Occupation."
Here�s an idea: maybe what�s botched, here, is the analogy. Especially considering that on January 7, 1945, we were advancing with troops into Germany, still � not occupying the damn place. And considering that, in 1946, botching the occupation probably referred to the threat of the Soviets, rather than a renewal of Naziism. Although maybe we should pursue the analogy further and ask what the effect of FDR donning a combat uniform and proclaiming mission accomplished � oops, or proclaiming, under a banner of mysterious origin that read, mission accomplished, that the hostilities were over � maybe we should wonder what effect that would have had on the war.
Incidentally, some say you can date the downfall of Napoleon to the committment of troops to Spain.

E gels and the E gel opener - (Aug/29/2012 )
I have found the e-gel opener that is provided by invitrogen to be very difficult to use in cracking open the precast E-gels. Does anyone have any tips on how to crack it open without it? Or any other gels which are easy to open that are compatible with the E-gel base?
It's a pain. I'd recommend avoiding the situations where you are tempted to do it by designing your cloning strategies to eliminate the need for gel purification.

Looking for lodging nestled in the heart of Ohio's Amish Country?

Relax by the cozy fireplace, or in the spacious jacuzzi tub. Enjoy a home cooked meal using the full kitchen with a stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator.

We have stayed at a dozen or more places from Dover to Berlin, in the past 15 years. I believe this is my favorite thus far. The cabin was awesome. I love the fact that everything was clean and tidy, and made you feel at home. This cabin had everything you could need for a relaxing get away. Also, the caretaker was very friendly and helpful. When I called to make reservations I had to leave a message and my call was returned very promptly. The email confirmation I received was very clear and touched on just about any question you could possible have regarding your stay. When we are planning to make an overnight stay I will definately call again.

I sought out a peaceful spot in Amish country for a personal retreat, and got far more than I requested! Greeted by a friendly smile and a yummy plate of cookies, I entered a cozy room with a large, warm fireplace and all of the appointments I needed to be extremely comfortable! The mini fridge and microwave enabled me to bring my own meal supplies so that I only left my room when I wanted. And the in-room coffee maker and supply of hot chocolate were special treats on a very cold weekend! I hope to return again very soon and believe that anyone would richly benefit from a stay at the Simple Blessings Cabin! -- L. Maynard

England's women have been in Group C for next summer's European Championship finals in Sweden alongside France, Spain and Russia..
Hope Powell's ladies topped their qualifying group unbeaten, and have been rewarded with a place in the 12-team tournament.
England will kick-off against a Spanish team who have only ever qualified for the finals once - reaching the semi-finals the last time it was in Sweden, in 1997. The game is in Linkoping on July 13, before a tie with Russia three days later. The meeting with France - a team England are yet to defeat in 12 attempts - will conclude the group on July 18.
Powell is well aware of the threat France pose, having seen her side knocked out of last year's World Cup by Les Blues on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
"Whatever group we got, the games would have been tough but now we can start preparing," Powell told BBC Sport. It will be a challenge.
"We have played all the teams in our group recently. We know their qualities. We know what we are up against but we will have them looked at. We want to do well."
England's chances of progressing are good, considering the two best third placed sides will join the top two teams in the quarter-finals. The final will be played in the Friends Arena in Solna, on July 28.
Group A: Sweden, Italy, Finland, Denmark
Group B: Germany, Norway, Netherlands, Iceland
Group C: France, England, Spain, Russia
