I read some fantastic reviews online and got a friend's recommendation for this place and I was so glad I took their advice. Aleenta was a fantastic... resort for a romantic getaway. I liaised with the staff before arrival to organise a private candlelit dinner on the beach where I proposed to my now fiance. It went perfectly and they helped get some fantastic photos too. We got upgraded to the pool suite which was amazing - private pool was so special and topped off an amazing few days away. This place is not one for people looking to explore the city or party or socialise with random people. It is very private and secluded. While the beach is not private, it may as well be because there is noone else aside from guests around. The service of the staff was impeccable too. We got the BMW airport transfers which I'd recommend and did the cooking class which was a lot of fun. Also did yoga on the beach which was a great way to start the day. Spa was great too with a room available overlooking the beach - organise for a session here for a couple around 6-7PM and you can watch the sunset while getting a treatment, not bad! Food was good overall and the breakfast was fantastic - in room also if you want. Needless to say, we'll be going back, maybe for the wedding.... Definitely give this place a try. napsal host společnosti Hotels.com dne 25.03.2013

I've just created my vLited ISO of the Windows 7 beta (7000) and I am trying to deploy into to a virtual image first, using Virtual PC 2007 SP1, before physically installing it for the real deal.
However, when the setup begins, after choosing my language, I click the "Install Now" button in the seperate window. Then it says "Setup is starting..." and after a while I get the following message:
"Windows could not collect information for [OSImage] since the specified image file [install.wim] does not exist."
It never reaches the license terms window.
I tested the original ISO I received from Microsoft, within VPC 2007, and that has no problems during setup. So it must be a fault with my vLite configuration. Maybe I have removed something I shouldn't!? Except I don't know what it could be, as the error message I receive is a little ambiguous.

Today's modern bride is looking for more personality, more uniqueness and more passion. As it so happens, that's what I want out of my photography! When paired together with the same vision, you'll be amazed at what we can accomplish! My hope is to bring a sense of energy and movement that showcases your relationship in a way that highlights your interests as well as your heart.
quick links
Hi! I'm Jon
I'm not very good at focusing on myself. And the thought of a bio that is just about me, and not necessarily my work, is unnerving. But if we're to become friends, the flow of information has to begin somewhere; that might as well be with me! But you have to promise to go next (thinking positively).
I live in the middle of nowhere. Sounds like the opening line to a book, but it's true! The village of Swaffham Prior has about 700 people. I love the solitude of remote living because It's a great place to think and sketch out ideas for new imagery. But I don't stay in solitude for long! My love, Dee, and our little boy, Jacob, happily fill the quiet with laughter (amongst other various and sundry noises).
I love meeting people, hearing their stories, asking them questions and basically being a good listener. It's amazing what I've learned just by keeping my trap closed. When I travel alone this is a favourite passtime. You should try it sometime!
I have a background in Mechanical Engineering. This strengthened the part of my brain that loves analyses. I guess that's why I can't walk through a mall without looking at the window shop art and breaking down their lighting set-ups. If you think that's a bit odd, let me chase that thought by letting you know I also love to build things with my hands. That makes me more of a man's man, yes?
Basically, I'm just a regular chap who who enjoys people and enjoys creating. And that's what I'd like to offer you. Your turn.
What do i do?
Wedding photography
Commercial photography
There aren't a lot of photographers who can say that they truly love corporate work, but I'm one of them. I think it's because I've taken a different approach than many. The face of a business should be as individual and unique as that of a bride. I bring my creative, modern approach into all areas of my work, not just to weddings. When it comes to business head shots, I work in a fun, relaxed way in order to bring out the real personalities of you and your employees. When photographing your products or work site, my goal is to bring a 21st century feel, rather than maintaining the status-quo. Whether through lighting, angles or simplicity, my services are geared to showcase your business in the best way possible.
What else do I love?

Lake Como, Italy Wedding // Diane & Andrew // Pt 2
Lake Como has to be the most stunning location for a destination wedding
If you haven't seen part one of Diane & Andrew's Italy wedding, then I recommend jumping over there first. Not wanting to repeat myself, their wedding was a small intimate affair visiting some of Lake Como's gems throughout the day. It was total perfection.
Villa Balbianello
Part two starts off with us travelling by speedboat to Villa Balbianello for some portraits of the bridal party.Back streets of Lenno
After getting some great portraits at Villa Balbianello we got back into our speedboat (very 007) and headed to the village of Lenno for some more portraits. I love the old streets around here, amazing textures, colours, kids running around, and a bride and groom grinning from ear to ear (and two very excited photographers).Lido di Lenno
A perfect was to finish the day, the beach club at Lenno. Cocktails on the lake. Awesome food and some emotional speeches. Diane and Andrew didn't hesitate to have a few more evening portraits on the lake side.I'd like to again thanks Diane & Andrew for trusting in me and Katie to capture your wonderful Italian Wedding. Also Katie Merkle, thank you for coming all the way from Baltimore, you're an amazing talent and it was awesome having you onboard

A pelvic fracture is defined as one or more breaks (fractures) of the bones comprising the pelvis. This is a serious condition that requires immediate care from your doctor.
- In elderly people, pelvic fractures are usually caused by falls—often down stairs.
- The worst pelvic fractures, however, are caused by major impacts to the body, such as motorcycle or car accidents, or falls from high places.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. The following factors increase your chance of developing pelvic fractures:
- History of falls
- Osteoporosis
- Decreased muscle strength
Symptoms of a pelvic fracture include:
- Pelvic pain
- Pain upon walking, or inability to walk
You may have other injuries such as other broken bones or damage to your liver, kidneys, or other internal organs—especially if your fracture is caused by a motor vehicle accident. These other injuries can increase your risk of death. They may cause blood loss inside your abdomen (internal bleeding) that may leave too little blood available for pumping to the heart, brain, and other important parts of the body (a condition called "shock"). The pelvic fracture itself causes significant blood loss.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical examination. He or she will likely refer you to a doctor who specializes in multiple injuries (a trauma specialist) and/or bone injuries (an orthopedic surgeon). ). If you are in a car accident, you will probably be taken to a hospital emergency room which is prepared for such situations. Tests may include the following:
- Blood and urine tests—to watch for ongoing blood loss, and to see if the bladder is involved.
- X-rays —of your pelvis to find exactly where and how severe the fracture is.
- A pregnancy test may be done if you are a woman of childbearing age. The test is done to help doctors protect the baby if you are pregnant, and to find and stop any possible pregnancy-related causes of bleeding such as miscarriage.
- CT scan (CAT scan) —a procedure that makes detailed computer pictures of the inside of your abdomen to find the pelvic fracture and look for other injuries and internal bleeding. This is also called computed tomography or computerized axial tomography.
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) —a procedure that uses a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to make detailed pictures of the inside of your abdomen.
- Abdominal ultrasound —a procedure that uses sound waves to find internal bleeding and other injuries within your abdomen.
- Urethrography—a test in which dye is injected into your urethra (the passage into your bladder) to check for injuries to this area. A similar test in which dye is injected into your bladder is called cystography .
- Arteriography —a test in which dye is injected into one or more of your arteries to check for internal bleeding within your pelvis.
You and/or your family should talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. A pelvic fracture is a serious injury that may be complicated by injuries to other parts of your body. Treatment first focuses on stopping any internal or external bleeding caused by your accident, then on the diagnosis and treatment of both the pelvic fracture and any associated injuries.
Many people need surgery to repair their pelvic fractures or other injuries. Blood transfusions and antibiotics may be part of the early care. Early fracture stabilization, bedrest, and appropriate physical therapy and other rehabilitation care are very important to making a good recovery, which will usually take months.
If you are diagnosed with a pelvic fracture, follow your doctor's instructions .
To help reduce your chance of getting pelvic fractures, take the following steps:
- Prevent falls by using a stool or stepladder to reach high places. Add handrails along stairways and place nonslip mats in your bathroom, shower, and under carpets.
- Lower your chance of injuries due to car and motorcycle accidents by always wearing your seatbelt. Never drive if you have been drinking, and don't ride with anyone else who has either.
- Always use safety precautions to avoid falls during high-risk sports, such as rock climbing and mountaineering.
- Maintain your muscle strength which will help to prevent falls.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "St.-Emilion's smallest vineyard produces so little wine (600 or so cases) that it is virtually impossible to find.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Maison Seigneur de Posanges Grands Echezeaux 1959 offers an exceptionally pretty nose as it still possesses the mainly sous bois suffused vestiges of ripe secondary fruit aromas as well as spice, earth and discreet sauvage notes.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection in the glass an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the otherworldly 2003.

Transform your pictures from snapshots to memorable images with a DSLR camera. Sony α DSLR's responsiveness, versatility and image quality helps capture those moments that other cameras often miss. The α390 makes shooting with a DSLR easy and fun with its compact and lightweight design, intuitive controls and Quick AF Live View.
Unlike previous systems that required a tradeoff in autofocusing performance, the α390 features a dedicated live view sensor for fast, accurate, SLR-class autofocusing?even during live view shooting.
A unique new Graphic Display helps you hone your photographic skills by making it much easier to understand how aperture and shutter speed adjustments will affect your results.
Shoot easily and comfortably from virtually any angle or position with Quick AF Live View. The α390 features a variable-angle LCD monitor that can be tilted up or down making it a snap to capture high-position and low-position photos.
It's never been easier to capture the perfect shot. The mode dial on top of the α390 offers instant access to 6 Scene Selection modes, each with a user-friendly Help Guide and example photo. You can even customize the user interface and choose from four background colors.
Equipped with SteadyShot® INSIDE image stabilization, the α390 compensates for shaky hands so you can capture crisp, sharp images at shutter speeds 2.5-3.5 steps slower than would otherwise be possible without using a flash or tripod. It also works together with an anti-static coating on the low-pass filter to help keep the image sensor clean.
Catch life from any angle with the Sony α390 digital SLR camera featuring Live View, which lets you compose shots via a tiltable 2.7" LCD screen. The α390 DSLR camera also combines ease-of-use with powerful features including 14.2-megapixel resolution for superb image clarity and exceptionally quick AF response to capture the perfect moment. Plus, SteadyShot INSIDE™ in-camera image stabilization reduces blur while the on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display help take the complexity out of DSLR photography. The α390L comes with an 18-55mm standard zoom lens.
A large 2.7" (diag.) Clear Photo LCD Plus™ display features Live View with Quick Auto Focus, which lets you compose and shoot pictures in real-time using the LCD, just as you would with a point-and-shoot camera. In addition, the LCD display tilts up or down for low or high-angle shooting situations, such as capturing a child's first steps or shooting over a crowd.
The DSLR-A390 features a stylish, modern design with an intuitive button layout for easier operation. In addition, the lightweight body and revised grip make the camera more comfortable to hold and carry.
A broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 enables you to capture beautiful color images even in very dim light -- with High ISO Noise Reduction technology that reduces picture noise artifacts at high-sensitivity ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 settings by eliminating noise from RAW data after analog-to-digital conversion.
Continuous Shooting lets you shoot at up to 2.5 fps (frames per second) while viewing your subject through the optical viewfinder so you never lose track of the action.
The Auto Pop-Up Flash automatically pops up and fires as needed when the camera is set to certain scene selection modes, helping first-time DSLR photographers shoot more effectively. In addition, the α380features an integrated hot shoe, which lets you expand your lighting options with a range of accessory flashes (sold separately).
Smart Teleconverter 2X Digital Zoom lets you zoom in electronically on your subject and reproduces pixels on a 1:1 basis so there's no degradation in picture quality. One touch zooms in at 1.4X, while the second touch advances to 2X zoom -- creating the 35mm equivalent of a telephoto effect with the camera's standard 18-55mm optical zoom lens.
Scene Selection Modes optimize camera settings for different shooting situations. Just turn the Mode Dial to select from Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Sunset, and Night View modes.
Compatible with high-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo™, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ and SD/SDHC media (sold separately) for convenient storage and sharing of your images.
A 14.2 megapixel APS-size CCD image sensor captures your images in spectacular, high-resolution detail, giving you the freedom to make large prints and tight crops without sacrificing quality.
An HDMI™ terminal gives you the option of connecting your camera to a compatible HDTV and playing back your images in stunning high definition quality(HDMI cable required, sold separately). In addition, BRAVIA® Sync™ works with compatible Sony® BRAVIA HDTVs to let you control camera playback using the television's remote (HDMI cable and BRAVIA Sync capable HDTV required, sold separately)1.
9-Point Center Cross AF Sensor with improved focus control to help bring images into sharp definition more quickly, and predictive focus control automatically calculates the position of fast-moving subjects.
Dynamic Range Optimizer provides two levels - Standard/Plus to improve results with backlit subjects and recover details hidden in shadows or lost in glare. Normal DRO improves detail using standard gamma curves for fast shot-to-shot response time, while Advanced DRO adjusts dynamic range area-by-area for greater accuracy..
Stamina® Battery power allows you to take up to 500 shots2 on a fully charged NP-FM50 InfoLITHIUM® battery when using the optical viewfinder mode, and you'll be able to see how much power remains in percentage increments, so you can keep shooting in confidence.
PhotoTV HD compatibility3 lets you automatically create high-resolution thumbnails optimized for viewing on a compatible Sony® BRAVIA® HDTV.
Function Guide Display provides intuitive and easy to use on-screen menus that can be activated and operated with one hand using the Fn (Function) button and controller button to adjust Flash mode, Autofocus mode, White Balance, Metering mode, AF area and D-Range Optimizer.
SteadyShot INSIDE™ in-camera image stabilization is built into each camera body, so every a-mount lens benefits from the ability to minimize blur due to camera shake.
An integrated on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display help take the complexity out of DSLR photography. The Help Guide offers clear, concise explanations of various modes and settings, while the Graphic Display helps you understand the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, as well as the effect each has on photographic results.
Eye-Start Autofocus System begins precision autofocus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye, so the camera is ready to catch the perfect moment.
Creative Style settings give you control over how the camera processes your images. Choose from 8 finishing styles, including Standard, Vivid, Potrait, Landscape, Night View, Sunset, B&W, and Adobe RGB, and fine tune them to your personal taste with the ability to adjust contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings..
Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CCD imager clean, resulting in consistently better pictures, by utilizing a static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter, as well as an anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to help dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off.
The advanced BIONZ™ image processor uses hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry to enhance images with rich tonal reproduction, reduced noise, and improved white balance and exposure control, for clear, sharp photos even at high sensitivity settings.
Index and Slide Show Display enable you to quickly review your photos using 4, 9 or 25-frame index views, or as an automatic slide show with fade-in/fade-out effect.

XS Scuba Kevlar Bug Grabber 2mm Diving Gloves Reviews
Reviewer: Larry C. S. on 11/10/2008 Comparison of Deep See 2mm Barnacle gloves & XS Scuba Kevlar Bug Grabber 2mm Gloves - I am a volunteer diver at a local zoo as well as a recreational diver. I help to clean/scrub a 100,000 gal. reef tank. I have to hold onto an artificial reef with one hand while I scrub/clean with the other. Last year after wearing out a pair of reef gloves in a short period of time, I decided to do a head to head comparison of two different gloves. I alternated using of Deep See 2mm Barnacle gloves and XS Scuba Kevlar Bug Grabber 2mm gloves. In my opinion, I thought that the Barnacle gloves would outlast the Bug Grabber gloves. I liked the tactile sensation of Barnacle gloves a little better than the Bug Grabber gloves. However, the Barnacle gloves did not hold up as well. ... View Full Review | ||
XS Scuba Roller Backpack Bag Reviews
Reviewer: Ashley M. on 7/26/2007 Great Bag! - I ordered this for my wifes B-day present, and didnt know I would be helping myself out as well. This bag is large enough for both our gear (warm-water) the fin pockets on the side do hold a pair of fins per pocket. the large front pocket has a padded case that fits inside of it for your regs (one set only), and inside this case is a place designed for your console, which is padded as well. if you need to use this pocket, thats fine because the case comes with its own shoulder strap, and is made of the same denier nylon as the bag. The mesh watter bottle pocket folds inside the bag, with the bottle still in the pocket! I also added the piggy back duffle, and am so glad I did, now we have... View Full Review | ||
XS Scuba Save A Dive Kit Reviews
Reviewer: Forest Rothchild on 9/16/2007 Save a dive (and a head ache) - This little box has already be a dive saver for a couple of my buddies. I am Mr. gadget and in my scuba tool box has just about every thing one would need to save a dive. This has mask strap, fin strap, buckles, etc... You cant go wrong, because sooner than later you will need something in this little box. Definitely worth the purchase. | ||
XS Scuba Airwave Plus Inline Octo Reviews
Reviewer: Michael Bove Instructor on 8/25/2006 Easy Breathing, Perfect for Travel! - the airwave plus is one of the many new hybrid inline octos. this thing is great because it allows you to knock off a hose, making you more streamlined. this is the perfect octo for dive travel. you get the simplicity of one hose for both your octo and your bc with the convenience of being able to hook it up to any standard power inflator. since it fits any standard power inflator, you can leave your bc at home if you need room in your suitcase for something else. the dive / pre-dive switch is a great feature something not found on many octos, but a great innovation nontheless. | ||
XS Scuba 2mm Titanium Diving Beanie Reviews
Reviewer: sherry m. on 8/8/2007 Warmth while Scuba Diving - The XS Scuba 2mm Titanium Beanie was a good choice. The reasons for this buy were to obtain warmth and comfort while diving. The size was perfect and the use was correct. While diving, whether in a thermaclyne or in freshwater springs, it does get cold. Being that you loose most of your body heat through your head, besides your torso, this helped keep your warmth and did not effect the dive in a negative way. I would recommend the Scuba Beanie as an added item to your dive gear, even with a hood attachement to a vest. The beanie is a good choice for gear. | ||
XS Scuba Goby Dry Kids Snorkel Reviews
Reviewer: Lynne M. on 8/20/2008 8 year old LOVED this SNORKEL - These dry snorkels really are great for kids and adults as well. My daughter tried using a regular snorkel when she was 6 and again at 7 and just had a hard time remembering to save some air to blow the water out of it after surfacing. This dry snorkel really allows children to go under the water and coming up effortlessly to get another breath. We bought one for our daughter last year, but wanted another one to match her mask with purge that we bought this year. All of Scuba.coms products are great and their customer service is exceptional! | ||
XS Scuba Knife Wrap Reviews
Reviewer: Steve McBride on 6/29/2008 XS Scuba Knife Wrap - The wrap keeps your knife right where you intend for it to stay, which is a first for any straps I have ever used. Not a good fit for smaller knives and you need to use with a solid/plastic sheath, otherwise the knife will not stay flush to your leg causing drag and entanglements with line, kelp, whatever. One flaw design is the top strap that is intended to hold the knife to the top of the wrap opens or loosens unintentionally, which could result in a lost knife. So I added a velcro strap for extra security. But I am still overall satisfied and have recommended it to friends. | ||
XS Scuba Safety Sausage (SMB) Reviews
Reviewer: Mary Salaja on 5/12/2008 safety sausage - As a 6 safety sausage it is easy to inflate and very visible in high seas. However, the wind can blow it over, making it hard to stay upright. I attached one of my spare weights to it to hold it down in the water. This allowed the inflated tube to stay upright without me holding it. I also wanted to get at it quickly, so I rolled it up and put a velcro strap around it. The velcro is permanently attached to my BC pocket. The sausage is now easy to unroll in the water and the weight fits in the bag that comes with it. All was attached to my BC with the sturdy harden plastic clip. I am satisfied with the product. I may attach a dive emblem on it, some time in the future. The tube takes the... View Full Review | ||

XS Scuba Shot Weight Reviews
Reviewer: Bill Michie on 6/8/2007 dive weights - Excellent product. It served me well on my recent dive trip to Hoi An, Viet Nam. However, each airport, with the exception of the Danang International Airport near Hoi An, asked me to come back in a little room and supervise the security personnel searching my luggage and scuba equipment. Apparently, the concern was that the dive weights had the appearance of gun powder or the like as I was told. Other than the Danang International Airport where the guards were reading the newspaper and magazines and not viewing the luggage as it went through the x-ray machine, I was always asked to come and supervise a security search of my diving equipment! I had a great dive in Hoi An with Rainbow... View Full Review | ||
XS Scuba Seaair Tri-Metal Regulator Reviews
Reviewer: Beau Rampey on 1/20/2007 Great regulator - this is the first regulator i have owned. i have tried many regulators both from other people and rentals as well. this regulator feels very solid and breathes easily. i live in santa barbara california, and here most of the retail shops sell aqualung titan regs, or atomic regulators. i absolutely dislike aqualung regulators which ive used many times on rental. they have a cheap toy feel to them. the atomic regulators usualy have a kind of ball socket between the second stage hose and second stage regulator which makes it more comfortable in your mouth. they are highly rated, however, they breath the same as an xs tri-metal and have a less comfortable mouthpiece and cost almost 3x more...

| Military intelligence officer interview
This morning I met with a British military intelligence officer (currently stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Vegas). We discussed all sorts of things, including personal growth, military strategy and tactics, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We talked for about 2.5 hours. I had the thought that some of what he shared would make for a fascinating interview, and he agreed. He's looking to write and publish some material of his own anyway, so this would be win-win. As you'd expect, there are some things he can't talk about for security reasons, but those appear to be very limited domains that involve such things as current low-level operations and specific individuals on the ground and such. There's a great deal he can talk about openly that isn't classified. I was fascinated with his perspective and the ideas he shared, and I asked him all sorts of questions about how the wars were going and how things have changed over time. I even asked him about the effect of the Wikileaks documents that went public earlier this week. Before I go forward with an interview (which would most likely be in plain text format), I wanted to see if there's interest in it. And if so, what questions would you like me to ask him? He's currently up for a promotion, so if that goes through, he will have the rank of Major. |

Yes I'd be interested. The things I'd like to hear about he might not want to discuss on the record, like what really happened on 9/11. To anyone who dismisses what really happened please, please, please watch the destruction of Building 7 for yourself. It's on YouTube. I'm not getting into any arguments today. |

Yah, I'd be interested in reading the interview. It would be interesting to see how much the military officer's perception of the war deviates from Obama's administration. Does he think that Obama is exacerbating the terrorist threat (by use of 'attacking drones' in Pakistan or whatever), and from his point of view, how pervasive is this criticism towards Obama amongst other military officers?

I have two questions for the individual. Where is the U.S. making the greatest errors and miscalculations. Where is the U.S. doing the right thing and accurate in the approach to the war. Actually three questions as my third question is stay the course or bail at the earliest opportunity. |

Afghanistan has long been known as the "Graveyard of Empires". Does he see this as still true today? Does he see the coalition (primarily US-UK) as having any realistic chance of success in achieving it's long-term goals there, or will Afghanistan be back to "business as usual" once foreign occupation forces leave? The Taliban movement was created by Pakistan's intelligence services, by indoctrinating young Afghan refugees from the Soviet occupation in the '70's and '80's, in an attempt to gain influence in the country once the Red Army was expelled. Is the ISI still the driving force behind the Taliban, or have the Taliban grown out of their control? |

Awesome if you can really get the real scoop! Some GREAT questions from others here and 3 of my own... Quote:
11) Is former CIA associate Osama Bin Laden really "off-limits" because he was simply being used as a ploy for justification to invade Afghanistan? Are the reports true that he could have been captured or killed many times shortly after the initial invasion but high command would not send the requested support the tactical operations that had close encounters with him required thus making the whole "hunt" for him nothing more than a big PR sham. 12) When will we begin the war with Iran? . | |||

What were the real incentives behind invading Afghanistan and Iraq when it is known throughout history that there have been other leaders and regimes just as bad that we didn't feel a need to intervene with? Why were British forces already on the front line to invade Iraq before government had even given the go ahead to invade? How will the rise of China's economic and military power affect British and American military policy and tactics? |

Yes, I would be interested in his perspective. In particular I am curious to know if the Military officers agree with the policies of their government. If not (which may be the case) how do they feel about doing the job?

It is said that the first casualty when war comes is truth. Nevertheless, I would also like to hear his opinion. Specifically I wonder if he can confirm the rumors that rogue elements within the US military or secret services are secretly supplying the Taliban. This would not surprise me as there are hardliners within the MIC that want to prolong this war as much as possible. Last edited by Channing; 07-28-2010 at 12:59 PM. |

I like stewartM's question. I'm not really interested in reading about political concerns or "what's it like over there" on this blog -- the Internet has plenty of resources for that -- but I want to know personal-development-related stuff. For example, how does fighting a war fit into his desired alignment with truth, love, and power? In his current role, what are his biggest challenges every day on a personal level? The biggest rewards for him? How have his experiences in the military changed him as a person? And, I concur with Brutha's sentiment as well. |

Being a Brit i'd be really interested. However a few things that spring to mind are - these sweeping questions about high level information are not going to be answered! And secondly, how much does he want this going all over the internet?

Steve, ask him to disclose as much as he's willing about UFOs and aliens. Especially if he has anything to say about the recent incident in China where a UFO trailed some sort of wormhole across the sky, forcing airports to ground all planes. Also ask him what he thinks the impact of a booming Muslim population in the UK is leading to. There's quite a bit of tension between Islamic and the rest of the people living in the UK and negative sentiments aren't getting any better. Ask him if he thinks it's smart/prudent for the UK to be backing the US military presence in the Middle East. And finally, ask him how much the UK knows about the US governments project HAARP in Alaska. If you don't know what it is, definitely check it out. Quite fascinating, if a little bit disturbing. | |

Scroll down to "Can I visit HAARP?" "The HAARP Research Station does not employ sufficient on-site staff to allow routine tours of the facility. Entry to the facility is normally restricted to those having a need to conduct business at the facility. We recognize that there is great interest in the scientific work of the facility. In response to this interest, HAARP schedules open houses at which any and all are invited to visit the site. Several scientists are usually present at these open houses so that visitors can talk directly with those who use the facility for research. Open houses have been held most years since 1995 and have proven to be a popular event. The most recent open house was held on July 17, 2010." There is also no visitor's center, although there are scheduled open houses. I'm not saying this is justification for any conspiracy, just that you are incorrect. As to the UFO question, sure it would be on a strict need to know basis to be informed about anything dealing with ETs, but maybe he needed to know at one point. It's worth the question. Plus, simply because you aren't directly told about something doesn't mean you have no ears, perhaps he's heard things he wasn't necessarily supposed to. You seem very bothered by the proposition of this question, I am sorry if you were probed by Greys. Truly I am. And what the hell does Bin Laden's capture have to do with this? I think you're confusing me with another deluded conspiracy theoriest . I also think we live in a world where human beings seek power over one another because to cooperate is incredibly risky and requires making yourself vulnerable to a degree to one another. I think we live in a world where most people operate out of fear of this vulnerability. I also think the world is never as simple as choosing love over fear, we are hardly alone in this universe and that we as individuals and we as human beings aren't at the top of the food chain.

Thanks, I sense that you may wear only a tiny bit of tin foil, I prefer to wear none at all....but only because it blocks my ability read the minds of everyone on the planet. As for the article, I'm willing to read about anything, hopefully it would give enough back-ground and personal stuff to get a sense of who the guy really is. If it's just Q & A , ehhh probably just more disinformation and he'd likely be briefed on what he can and can't say and just not even be able to tell Steve that. The last fiasco with the Rolling Stone interview is probably still reverberating through the ranks and generating memos. | |

Hope it's not too late to add some questions. I'm really grateful that you're sharing this opportunity I'm not sure what kind of information he has or what kind of information he can even give... But here goes... 1) I'd like to know some basic stuff about his work. Like what his responsibilities are precisely. For example, does he or has he ever recruited sources and collected intelligence from people on the ground? Does he or has he ever worked in interrogation? Perhaps he's an analyst? Or maybe what he does is in fact more of an office job? So what does his job look like? 2) It would be great to find out more about the different intelligence organizations involved in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and how they cooperate. On the US side of things there's the military intelligence, the CIA and the FBI (am I forgetting somebody else?). I've heard stories of these organizations not cooperating well together. Even stories of US military interrogators in Afghanistan exchanging information with British intelligence officers rather than with the CIA because with the British intelligence they had a give and take relationship whereas the CIA would refuse to give them most information and would often leave them without the information necessary to interrogate a suspect (like where and why the suspect was caught!). So I'd be curious to know how all of that works. I'm not sure how much he'll be able to say about this, but anything he can would be great. Even if it's very mundane stuff I'd still be very curious about that. 3) A follow up on the previous question - how many intelligence organizations are actually involved in gathering intelligence about terrorist activity in Western nations, as well as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? I've heard practically nothing about the involvement of intelligence organizations from outside of the USA and UK. Yet that doesn't sound right - so many countries are involved in these wars that one would think they all have a vested interest in gathering intelligence. How does all that work? 4) Why is he stationed in Vegas? I know that might be a stupid question, but I'm genuinely curious. I don't get why a British military intelligence officer would be stationed in Vegas of all places. 5) What kind of places has his job taken him and where has he been stationed before? What were the circumstances? 6) What kind of access to terrorist suspects do different intelligence organizations have? Or if he's not able to answer quite so generally - has the British military intelligence ever had access to the prisoners in Guantanamo? If yes, then in what way and in what way were they limited? Have they ever had access to prisoners in CIA secret prisons? I'm not sure how valid this line of questioning will be as it depends a lot on what he actually does and what kind of people he knows, but I'd love to know more about the interrogation process and how different organizations vary their approach. 7) What can he say about CIA secret prisons? I suppose the answer might be not much, but I'd still love it if you could try that line of questioning. I'm particularly interested in the CIA prisons which were rumoured to be in Poland, Lithuania and Romania. Though the topic of secret prisons is generally something I'd like to know as much as possible about. 8) How does he feel and what does he know about the torture of terrorism suspects in Guantanamo and other such places? US intelligence were allowed certain controversial practices, but how does the stance of the British military intelligence differ? Is he aware of any conflicts between British and American intelligence organizations over such practices? What about between different American organizations? (I've heard, for example, that the CIA has a harsher policy than the FBI) Has he spoken to American intelligence officers about such matters and how do they feel about it? 9) Has he ever been face to face with somebody incarcerated for terrorism in Guantanamo or a similar place? If yes, then what was that like? If no, does he know somebody who has - what were their feelings? |

Secure execution environments through reconfigurable lightweight cryptographic components
Date: 2006
Creator: Gomathisankaran, Mahadevan
Description: This doctoral dissertation discusses secure execution environments through reconfigurable lightweight cryptographic components. Software protection is one of the most important problems in the area of computing as it affects a multitude of players like software vendors, digital content providers, users, and government agencies. There are multiple dimensions to this broad problem of software protection. The most important ones are: 1) protecting software from reverse engineering. 2) protecting software from tamper (or modification). 3) preventing software piracy. 4) verification of integrity of the software. In this thesis the authors focus on these areas of software protection. The basic requirement to achieve these goals is to provide a secure execution environment, which ensures that the programs behave in the same way as it was designed, and the execution platforms respect certain types of wishes specified by the program. The authors take the approach of providing secure execution environment through architecture support. The authors exploit the power of reconfigurable components in achieving this. The first problem the authors consider is to provide architecture support for obfuscation. This also achieves the goals of tamper resistance, copy protection, and IP protection indirectly. The authors' approach is based on the intuition that the software is a ...
