Despite the grand show of force from these two naval powerhouses, the battle was formally concluded as "inconclusive" and the North Sea was still in play for the Triple Entente. While it was the British that suffered most quantitatively, the Germans did not meet their planned battle goals which, in true wartime fashion, left both the British and the Germans promoting their own separate outcomes of the battle as complete victory for the respective side. The naval battle would go down in history as the largest naval battle of the First World War and, interestingly enough, none of the participating battleships were lost in the melee.
After the battle, SMS Schleswig-Holstein faced a period of much-needed repairs before being put back out to sea. She entered combat waters once more in early 1917 and served in the role until May 2nd of that year, now facing decommissioning from active service. In August of 1917, she was rearranged as an "accommodation ship" for service personnel and was based at Bremerhaven before finally being relocated to Kiel in 1918 where she served out her tenure until the end of the war in November. Of the five ships in her class, only four survived the whole of the war and only three of these were allowed to continue service with the German Navy under the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. SMS Schleswig-Holstein was joined by SMS Schlesien and SMS Hannover while the SMS Deutschland was selected for the scrapman's torch in 1922. A modernization program was then enacted throughout the 1920s that saw the SMS Schleswig-Holstein upgraded and furthermore promoted to flagship of the rebuilding German Navy. She held that post from 1926 to 1935.
By 1939, an armament refit had brought about some changes to the decks of the SMS Schleswig-Holstein in preparation for Hitler's world war with the rest of Europe. Her 4 x 11" SK L/40 main guns remained intact but she lost all of her casemated 6.7" cannons. Only 2 x 3.5" cannons remained of the original twenty-two installed though these were no longer in limited casemates and 4 x 1.5" cannons were added. A further 22 x 20mm anti-aircraft cannons were fitted for a lethal network air defense system and her six 18" torpedo tubes were removed in full. Despite their inherently outdated designs, the remaining Deutschland-class warships were still of some value based on armament and speed. As such, they made for serviceable bombardment platforms and would be utilized as such in World War 2. The SMS Schleswig-Holstein was credited with firing the first salvo that officially began World War 2 - this occurring on September 1st, 1939 against Polish fortifications near Danzig off of the Baltic Sea (today known as Gdansk, Poland).
With Captain Gustav Kleikamp in command of SMS Schleswig Holstein, she and her sister ship, SMS Schlesien, were on a planned visit to the nation of Poland. This subterfuge was meant to honor German sailors killed on the cruiser Magdeburg back in World War 1 and were buried in Danzig in 1914. The Magdeburg had run aground near the Odensholm lighthouse in the Baltic Sea. Efforts to refloat her ultimately failed and the Russian cruisers Bogatyr and Pallada appeared and utterly destroyed her, killing off most of her crew in the process.
Schleswig Holstein and her small flotilla had anchored in Danzig harbour at the mouth of the River Vistula. At 4.30am on September 1st, 1939, she weighed anchor and moved down the canal, taking up a position opposite the Polish fort at Westerplatte. SMS Schlesien and the accompanying gunboats remained to protected the mouth of the harbor. The plan of German High Command proposed the SMS Schleswig Holstein with her 11-inch guns at point blank range against the forts while Captain Kleikamp, at 4.47am, gave the formal order to open fire on the Westerplatte in the name of Adolf Hitler. Germany's first shot fired by the SMS Schleswig Holstein of World War 2 in Europe was exactly 20 years, 9 months, 19 days and 18 hours after the last recorded shot was fired in World War 1. World War 2 in Europe had officially begun.
The bombardment of the fort was joined by Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" dive bombers of the German Luftwaffe and the few Polish garrison defenders were additionally attacked by larger numbers of German ground troops. The battle lasted for seven days before the Polish commander surrendered (though the fort was never truly taken by the German troops). In the first few weeks of the ensuing World War, the SMS Schleswig-Holstein and the SMS Schlesien bombarded other Polish positions in Gdynia, Kepa Oksywska, and the Hel Peninsula.
Death of the SMS Schleswig-Holstein
The remaining Deutschland-class battleships were returned to training duty following the German occupation of Norway in 1940. SMS Schleswig-Holstein became an anti-aircraft platform in 1944 stationed at Gdynia to protect the port from enemy air attacks. There she would berth until the end of her tenure in the war for, being a stationary target now, she was attacked by aircraft of the Royal Air Force on December 18th, 1944, that resulted in the death of twenty-eight of her crew. The RAF attacked once again and scored several direct hits with aerial bombs, leaving her a burning wreck on the water. She finally sank in 39 feet of water near the port on March 21st, 1945. The war in Europe ended in May.
After World War 2, she was raised by the Soviet Union and towed to the Russian port of Tallinn where she was believed to be renamed to "Borodino". The Soviet Navy scuttled Borodino in shallow water near Osmussaar Island in the Baltic Sea sometime in 1948 and she was used as a target ship until 1964. Decades later, the remains of the ship came under the protection of the Estonian National Heritage Board as a "historic shipwreck" which has been her title since 2006.
The battleship Schleswig Holstein served Germany in both world wars and was the single instrument used to begin the Second World War. A conflict, by some reports, that claimed the lives of over 60 million people. It is doubtful that this number reflects all the peoples in all of the far corners of the world where records were, at best, dubious. Nevertheless, the SMS Schleswig-Holstein earned her due respect and legacy - even though she finished her career not in the service that her builders originally intended.

Peach and Pistachio Salad
Underripe peaches are fantastic in a salad because they're super-crunchy and just a bit sweet. Grace Parisi mixes them with jicama, arugula and salty pistachios, then dresses the salad with a spicy chile dressing.
Slideshow: More Peach Dishes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 large hot red chile, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 underripe medium peaches, very thinly sliced
- 1 small jicama (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks
- 3/4 cup shelled, salted pistachios, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups baby arugula
How to make this recipe
In a large bowl, combine the shallot, red chile, sugar and vinegar and let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the peaches, jicama and pistachios and toss well. Fold in the arugula and season with salt and pepper. Serve right away.

Affleck in the Congo: WTF
Look, i get it, Ben Affleck. You're a serious guy, trying to understand a deathly, sad, serious issue. But, do you realize that those camera's following you around are there to follow you, not the crisis? I get that you're trying to raise awareness, and that your presence there may make someone learn about the crisis and spur some action. But, what's happening there is incredibly sad and somehow, seeing pictures of a doofy actor plodding around in a $300 rain jacket makes the pictures seem somehow less real. I worry that people will see a PR stunt, and not see the urgency of the crisis.

The DB's – Not Quite a Hit, But no Flop
Anatomy of a Flop – Measure for Measure Blog – NYTimes.com.When i was 16, right after i got my drivers license, i would drive to downtown Green Bay, to the really, really rundown part, with my buddy Peter and he and i would go to a little store that rented out records. Can you believe that? Rented. Records. Good old vinyl for rent. With a wink and a nod, Stan (i can't believe i remember his name) would let me walk out the door with a clutch of discs and a smile to speed home, tape the things onto cassette, and then return the rental. Sometimes i'd round trip it in the same day and grab another record to tape. This was, very obviously – and even to a dumb-ass 16 year old – illegal. But, for the four or five months that it lasted, i got a bunch of good music.
This album by the DB's (Like This) is one of them that i loved the most. I don't remember all the songs anymore, but i bet i could sing most of them now, word for word. So, i was really glad to stumble across the link above, from the New York Times, written by Peter Holsapple. He may be better known to most of you as the trusty sideman for REM, but i'll always know him as the DB's guy.
(If you want a beautifully written, well performed, and incredibly well produced album, please do check out "Mavericks", by Holsapple and Chris Stamey. "She was the One" is the best song on there, "Angels" the hit. )
If you like this story from Holsapple, you should probably also check out Suzanne Vega's story about Tom's Diner and how she helped create the MP3 file format. Excellent writing…

Online Gender Workshop, as ever, is brought to you by your friendly, neighborhood Crip Dyke
There have been quite a few thoughts expressed, here and elsewhere, about the appropriate uses of transsexual, transgender, trans, and trans*. The separation of sex and gender, while ostensibly default in a number of academic fields and feminist and trans philosophies or movements, is not something challenged only by right wing advocates of trans* oppressive policies. Many non-trans* feminists and many trans* liberation advocates openly oppose the use of these terms as separate. Some of that spills over onto debates about terms such as transgender.
I'd like to attempt to further explain why I believe it is so necessary to separate gender and sex in the first place, and thus at least some of the major reasons why I care about the particular uses of those trans*-community specific terms.
But I won't.

Dragging myself away from the Toshiba stand, I couldn't help but notice that while Toshiba was busy taking its tuner and connections out of the Cell Regza and putting them into an external box, Sharp and Panasonic were busy tucking extra features inside their TVs.
Panasonic was showing a plasma range, the R series, with built-in hard disk recorders, while Sharp was showing a new generation of TVs sporting built-in Blu-ray recorders. Enquiries at both companies' stands suggest that neither range is likely to get an imminent UK release, alas. But such recorder combi products are, I'm sure, set to become more common here as more people catch up with the new digital recorder age.
You might be thinking at this point that we haven't mentioned Sony very much in the course of this feature - at least in a positive way! But there's a good reason for this, namely that other than its 3D booths - which had already been seen at September's IFA in Berlin - the Japanese megacorps really didn't have anything significantly new to report. A fact amusingly confirmed by a member of Sony's international team when asked for help.
Sony didn't even have anything really exciting to shout about on the OLED front, unless the idea of wearing a bangle with a flexible screen wrapped around it really excites you much.
In fact, try as I might, I'm struggling to find anything else innovative to report on from the show other than the facts that Sharp was finally showing off an online service for its TVs - something that should filter through in some form to its 2010 flat TV range - while Panasonic was showing off a NeoLCD screen for 2010 to accompany the second generation of its NeoPDP plasma TVs.
Why is the 32in NeoLCD screen on show different from Panasonic's 'old' LCDs? Mostly because it marks the brand's first use of direct LED backlighting. But also because it's claimed to deliver better blacks, richer colours, more sharpness and greatly improved motion response over any standard Panasonic LCD seen to date.
And so I think, after one last check of my notes, that that's it for CEATEC 2009 - a show that had its moments, but which ultimately fell short of last year's efforts.
If I manage to get out to Tokyo again next year, therefore, I really hope that a) there are more exhibitors, b) 3D is able to make a more widespread convincing case for itself than it did this year, and c) there are more fun new AV concepts to tickle my fancy.
There's one more thing, too - namely a solemn promise I won't start any future CEATEC reports with hoary old weather analogy cliches. Unless, of course, sunny skies over Tokyo in 2010 happen to coincide with a resurgent global economy, in which case I might not be able to restrain myself…

No politics, just observations
I've got a new "Think Again" called " 'Modest and Respectful' No More," here [1], and Boehlert did another fine job on the myriad mysteries raised by Jeff Gerth's reporting here [2].
That's all for me today. The Lt. Col. has the keys (but make sure to check out the poetry we've spawned below ...).
Hello Altercators, LTC Bob Bateman here. The news, and my profession, being what they are, sometimes one needs a translator. Again, no politics, just observations.
This first story is about the damage that the Army's new Stryker combat vehicles are taking. Now the Stryker is no small, weak toy. It is a fully armored combat vehicle which carries a squad of infantry in the back. It is large, fast, and more heavily armored than anything else on wheels. With eight wheels and a complete suite of armor, it is orders of magnitude beyond the up-armored HMMWV (the "Humvee").
And in Iraq, the bad guys are blowing them up [3].
Now despite what you might think, the salient point here is for folks to realize what we in the Army and Marines already know: that at the end of the day, no matter how much armor you have, no matter how many tons you pack on of rolled steel, if the other guy has access to enough explosives, he can kill you. This is some of the reason why while the new "MRAP" (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles are much better than the HMMWVs they will supplant or supplement, they should not be expected to be a panacea. We will still lose men in these new vehicles, no matter what. The hope, however, is that perhaps we may lose them at a slightly lower rate, for a while.
They looked pretty professional, actually -- a squad of men moving as though they were in Iraq, not Washington, D.C. All of them were wearing standard desert uniforms and their formation and spacing was solid. See for yourself here [4]. Although unarmed, they held their hands in the proper positions, as though holding M4s or M249s. They used standard hand-and-arm signals, and moved well. The group simulated various things during their "patrol," such as being hit by a sniper, reacting to an IED, taking prisoners, and other standard fare of real life in Iraq. What made them interesting to the press was that they were all veterans of Iraq or Afghanistan. Now, the Marine members of this troop are being called on the carpet by the Marine Corps. Despite the fact that they all have honorable discharges, the Marine Corps wants to call them back to duty, to be punished for wearing their personally owned uniforms in a political protest. Here [5].
The Marine Corps, in turn, has really pissed off the VFW (the Veterans of Foreign Wars). You know that you have messed up badly and exceeded your authority when the VFW tells you to shut up and apply common sense. Here [6] and also here [7].
A little over a year ago, I wrote on Altercation of the slaughter of my friend and translator Mayada Salihi [8]. I failed her, because I could not get her asylum. We brought more than a million from Vietnam, and today they are Americans. We allowed 7,000 Iraqis [9] in recently. Nice.
I note with some relief that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates informed both the U.S. Naval Academy graduates, and the Air Force Academy graduates, that the United States Congress and the media are not the enemy, they are not part of the problem -- they are both part of the solution [10] and integral to a functioning democracy. I leave it to others to note that there have been contrary opinions on this point made by others within our government, and I wonder if this means that Gates is leading among our civilian leaders, or in defiance of the mass.
Finally, I would be remiss were I to ignore the fact that sixty-three years ago today, brave men from several nations did things on our behalf which defy description. They assaulted into the teeth of a determined enemy, and initiated the beginning of the endgame for one of the most horrifically genocidal national regimes in all of history. D-Day, Normandy, France, 6 June 1944.

I'm not seeing this talked about anywhere: not only is the State Department woefully behind on issuing passports, due to the new air travel ruled for Mexico and Canada, but they're not even answering calls made by our elected representatives on our behalf. And if you try the passport service's toll-free information line, you go through several long-winded steps of phone tree before being told that they're too busy to take your call. Even if you call at 6 am Eastern when the line opens! I'm told, by someone in an elected representative's office, that the New Orleans branch, which handles Ohio passports, shuts down at 4:30 daily -- before dark as it's in a "bad neighborhood." What time does it get dark in N.O. in June, anyway? It's just another one of the administration's incompetencies -- poor planning, inadequate staffing, etc., but no one's talking about it.

"Liberals can [13] -- and should, in my view -- make a bigger deal about the exploitation of violence on television."
Honestly, I think a bigger deal should be made about how violent shows are shown during the middle of the afternoon when kids are channel surfing. I find it strange that gun fights, plane crashes, graphic forensic science, et al, are considered fine for daytime viewing so long as Bruce Willis says (in a comically dubbed voice) "mother crusher" or "forget you."
These shows and movies should be on later in the evening -- the UK implements a 9pm "watershed." Bad language, violence, nudity are fine during hours kids should be in bed but mercilessly dealt with during the day. The US could do with implementing similar standards.
Failing that, liberals should feel free to use the immortal words "learn how to use the frickin' V-Chip in your TV."
Violence against women is another matter entirely, though I'm curious as to what shows you watch that "celebrate or wink at it."

The Problem with AirPhilippines
May 27, 2012 at 5:34 PM
It's not fair when you can't avail of the same promo fair just because you don't have a credit card. I find Cebu Pacific to have more options with regards to their payment scheme.
But I will never fly with this airline again. I found your blog in the hopes of finding other people with the same problem due to a cancellation that has jeopardized our entire trip to Hong Kong.
And just like you, I'll book with Cebu Pacific next time even if I need to shell out some more cash.

Hello Izzy.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment.
Let me guess. Did AirPhilippines told you that your flight is cancelled because of "airport traffic"?
I guess this is the common excuse that the local airlines are giving when their flights are cancelled or delayed.
Their excuse is valid because NAIA can't large volume of air traffic considering that it is the country's premier international airport.
I think, however, that the airlines should also be blamed. They increased the number of their flights even if they know that some of those might be cancelled due to "air traffic".
You are not alone Izzy. Many Filipinos and foreign tourists are disappointed with the local airlines and airports.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog although it's empty. I just needed an avenue where to write my sentiments and vent out my frustration.
You are right, it's a sad reality that I am just one of the many affected by how frequent our budget carriers cancel flights with common reasons as airport traffic and aircraft operational requirements. We got the latter reason. I am really skeptical because they cancel and merge flights so easily.
They offered me another flight at a much later time but on my desired schedule. We will not be able to make it with our appointment in Macau because it's too late. :(
The least that they would have done was to facilitate the entire shifting of schedules properly. But with my experience, I think they won't give in too easily. This is not really worth the stress that I have had to endure as aggravated by their agents, but we need to fly out as scheduled. :(
I don't think I will ever be attracted to their budget fares anymore. This is a very stressful and upsetting learning experience.

I am yet to experience the problem that you encountered with AirPhilippines. I dread the day.
We can only hope and demand that things will get better with our local airlines. We are their customers and it is their duty to give us quality service.

Washington at Work; C.I.A. Sidelines Its Gulf Cassandra
By MICHAEL WINES,
Published: January 24, 1991
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23— As Iraqi forces massed along Kuwait's border on Aug. 1, a Central Intelligence Agency analyst named Charlie Allen walked into the offices of the National Security Council's Middle East staff.
"This is your final warning," he is reliably said to have told them. Iraq, he said, would invade Kuwait by day's end.
It was not the first time that Mr. Allen, a 32-year C.I.A. veteran with the ominous-sounding title of national intelligence officer for warning, had sounded the Kuwait alarm. Until the last hours of Iraq's sword-rattling, when a handful of others joined him, Mr. Allen had been the leading doomsayer among analysts tracking Iraq's military preparations. For Mr. Allen, associates say, shunning the beaten path is standard fare.
So, apparently, is what happened next. His forecast was disregarded, and top White House and Pentagon officials were surprised at home when Iraq marched into Kuwait on the morning of Aug. 2. A Klaxon for the Government
Mr. Allen's job is to alert the Government when crisis brews, even if the Government chooses not to believe him. His biggest crisis is just that: too often, right or wrong, the Government chooses not to believe him. Were Mr. Allen your average functionary, that might not matter. But in January, as in August, Mr. Allen is supposed to be the klaxon, sounding the alarm when global events threaten to spiral out of control.
Even in peacetime, the national intelligence officer for warning is potentially among the most vital analytical jobs in espionage.
"If you ever subtracted warning from intelligence, it would be like giving a sheepdog a haircut and finding out it's a Chihuahua," said Herbert Meyer, who advised President Reagan's Director of Central Intelligence, William J. Casey. "This is the person who yells, 'Iceberg, dead ahead!' "
Depending on one's view, Mr. Allen's troubles stem from Mr. Allen himself, who even friends concede is an irascible and sometimes uncontrollable workaholic, or from a bureaucracy that won't recognize and profit from his insight, or from both.
Neither wishes to air the matter. Mr. Allen declined requests for an interview and a photograph. The C.I.A. declined to discuss Mr. Allen.
What is nevertheless clear is that his work has lately landed him in the worst sort of doghouse.
His main product, a report on developing trouble spots prepared for the Director of Central Intelligence, William H. Webster, every two weeks, has been suspended since fall. His staff in the Pentagon and the National Intelligence Council, an interagency group of senior analysts, has shrunk. Credit that to normal attrition, said a senior Administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity, or to a campaign to "denude" Mr. Allen's authority, said two Government associates who also insisted on anonymity. A Puzzle to Many
The decline of Mr. Allen, a tall, graying man given to sober suits and precise grammar, puzzles many because he has no small number of admirers.
In his sole private passion, the chairmanship of the suburban Herndon, Va., planning commission, Mr. Allen is largely credited with rewriting the town's master plan and persuading politicians and developers to adhere to it. The town's Rotary Club made him its citizen of the year in 1988.
In Government work, Mr. Allen is said to wear out secretaries, natter co-workers and pull all-nighters with a college student's abandon. Associates say he can infuriate them with his demands and criticisms.
Yet Frank C. Carlucci, who employed Mr. Allen as an aide when he was Deputy Director of Central Intelligence in the late 1970's, calls his work "outstanding." James Woolsey, once Mr. Allen's lawyer and now the Government's chief negotiator at the conventional arms talks in Vienna, calls him "a man of extraordinary ability and integrity."
"Charlie represents the type of thing you want an intelligence analyst to do: to stand up and say what he thinks, and not worry about covering his behind," said an intelligence official who worked with him in the 1970's."You can look at some of Charlie's product and say that he's a doomsayer. But on the other hand, that's his job." Limits of Doomsaying
Or is it? Without specifically citing Mr. Allen, a senior Administration official involved in warning issues made it clear that doomsaying has its limits.
"Warning is a process, not an event like 'I predict,' " that official said. "Holding one's fire and getting it right is important. Firing a lot, and getting it right occasionally, is not."
Even admirers concede that Mr. Allen overreaches. In August, five months too early, he was predicting that a Soviet incursion in Lithuania was imminent. People who read his reports say that is not the only example of faulty analysis. "He's a program manager," one official said. "He excels at getting the best out of his staff. When he tries to play senior analyst, he gets into trouble."
But Mr. Allen and his staff can also score dead hits. He was among the first to argue that the Soviet military threat in Eastern Europe was vanishing. He was also right -- and his superiors were wrong -- in forecasting that the Soviets' withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989 would produce not a quick victory by C.I.A.-backed rebels, but a violent stalemate.
Mr. Allen also forecast the greatest political scandal of the 1980's: Oliver L. North's use of proceeds from the sale of United States arms to Iran to finance a war in Nicaragua. A co-worker with Mr. North, he warned superiors in October 1986, two months before it became public, that he believed Mr. North was diverting arms profits to the contras. A Reprimand by the C.I.A.
The C.I.A. later reprimanded Mr. Allen for not being sufficiently forthcoming to investigators about the scandal, an accusation he fought personally and with lawyers.
Mr. Allen's specific duties are classified. But warning of impending crisis is not his exclusive franchise. Intelligence analysts and spies alike red-flag events they believe signal danger. The intelligence establishment maintains a network of "watch officers" who confer regularly by telephone about trouble spots.
Amid this mix, said the senior official involved in warning issues, the national intelligence officer for warning is "the devil's advocate," pointing out the overlooked and chiding other analysts to sharpen their conclusions. The job is delicate, he said, because its occupant steps on the turf of other analysts and sometimes disagrees with their conclusions.
"A lot of the time, the guy has to behave like a chaplain, and not like John the Baptist -- guiding other analysts, convincing them of his position," the senior official said. "He's got to have high credibility."
In the sanctum sanctorum of the National Intelligence Council, an elite, collegial body that regards itself as the authoritative analyst of world events, Mr. Allen is an unlikely chaplain. How He Sees His Role
In fact, associates say, Mr. Allen sees his mandate as not just to advise his fellow analysts about danger spots, but to alert Mr. Webster and Administration policy makers to all potentially major changes, even unlikely ones.
"He warns on impact, not probability," a Government official said. "As a result, Mr. Allen's analyses often conflict with those of the agency. That shouldn't be a problem, but it is."
Iraq, the latest example, may be the tripwire that threw Mr. Allen's long career into its latest limbo.
The intelligence grapevine carries several versions of Mr. Allen's actions. The consensus is that he issued three separate official warnings of an invasion of Kuwait, each more pessimistic: one in early July, raising the prospect; one on July 25, placing its likelihood at somewhat greater than 50 percent, and one virtually flat prediction, the day before the invasion occurred.
In a move that is said to have angered superiors, Mr. Allen then bolted the intelligence bureaucracy, warning a senior State Department official and two National Security Council experts that an invasion was imminent. Others Raise Red Flags
It is not known what those officials did with his advisory. But it is also not clear that it makes any difference. While a lonely voice, Mr. Allen was not alone in red-flagging Iraq's military ambitions. A witness says the President's Daily Brief, a C.I.A. intelligence report given six mornings a week to Mr. Bush and a handful of other high officials, accurately described Iraq's preparations, albeit in torpid language. A Pentagon official also raised red flags.
In fact, officials said, top policy makers reviewed the prospects for an invasion several times, but largely discounted them. So did most of the world. Mr. Bush was told by the leaders of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia that an invasion was unthinkable.
In retrospect, the senior official conceded this month, the Government's senior Middle East intelligence analysts could have been sharper. They may have lagged, he said, in following Mr. Hussein's military scheming, being distracted by a near-war last spring between India and Pakistan.
Without citing Mr. Allen by name, however, he dismissed the significance of any last-minute warnings of war by individual intelligence analysts.

Update: to my recent post "Are recent mass shootings false flag events to gain support for a repeal of the Second Amendment? "
"After publishing this article, some folks saw the need to contact me just to let me know that I was crazy, out of touch and completely wrong on every point… Of course they had no answers, other than what they had been told by the media… Yep, the main stream media now that is a reliable source of information.
Anyway, I did not say that the attacks were false flag events – I don't know if they were or not. What I said was that both of the shootings had the earmarks of such, and that there is a lot of unanswered questions. And the police threatening to arrest anyone reporting anything but the official version of events did not help curtail theories of what actually happened.
And let's not forget about the recent "Operation Fast and Furious" where Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Obama Administration sent thousands of "assault weapons" across the border into Mexico where they were used to kill an unknown number of people including American border patrol agent Brian Terry.
Well, if you remember when the Mexican drug cartels started killing people by the truckload with those guns that the ATF had provided them, the gun banners, here in the U.S. started calling for tighter gun laws in the U.S. to curb the "gun violence" in Mexico (I think Senator Feinstein was one of those).
Then it was leaked in the press, that the guns being used in the murders and mass killings were supplied by the ATF and the United Stated Government . Also see this article from CBS news Documents: ATF used "Fast and Furious" to make the case for gun regulations…
Folks I don't know about you but that looks like a false flag to me… and as we all know history repeats itself…

There are approximately 200 million migrants working in nations throughout the world. Their individual stories are not that significant in themselves but they frequently highlight the abuse and degradation an immigrant must endure in their struggle for survival in a strange land. Ms. Ida Lestari Ninsih, left her native Indonesia and went to Singapore in search of a better life. She soon secured employment as a maid in the home of Linn Yi Khung, who works for Singapore Airlines and his wife Aileen Lay Hoon. Within a few months of obtaining the position, Ms. Ninsih encountered abuse. Ms. Hoon hit her repeatedly, dragged her by the hair, and knocked her to the floor for failure to do tasks. Mr. Khung punched the maid in the eye, knocked her down, and dragged her along the floor as his three children watched.
Ms. Ingsin finally couldn't take it anymore and jumped out a window and fled to the cono manager who noticed the bruises on her body and called the police. At the trial, Mr. Khung claimed the maid was lying because she didn't want to pay the $10 fines he levied when she made mistakes. The judge did not accept his story and he was found guilty along with his wife.
The story is minor, but it reveals the daily horror which is encountered by maids and migrant workers. In many cases, they are compelled to endure further abuse because there is no friendly condo manager around to summon the police. This is simply a Singapore story but it could happen in any nation.

I went out there and bought this fender from him for $20 and used it, returning the repro! NO KIDDING! LOLOL
On that same car I put a repro hood, I hated that damn hood, the body lines faded away at the rear to almost nothing where it met the lines on the cowl, it looked like crap. It was all I had so I used it. About two years later the car came back in for some paint and body work and the hood was going to be painted. I took the hood off went to the Mustang place and traded it for a decent original. I spent a little filler time on the original hood and painted it and put it on. I feel much better when I see that car around town now (it's her daily driver).
I LOATH reproduction parts. If you go searching it is amazing how much good stuff is still out there, heck even NOS. It still shows up now and again, you need patience but good original will show up at a decent price on most parts. There are some you have no choice but most will show up if you give it some time.
the last time I did a repro part on a mustang was a hood. The holes were drilled wrong cause the fender line up left the old hood with perfect gaps, put in the new hood and all of a sudden the car looks like it needs to be square. The gap was too big on one side. It was a pain just to get it to look half way decent. As for the lower valiance, I imagine I'll have to mess with the holes and stretch. If there's an issue with the gaps I'm not too worried. It's only getting primed once down there. The rear valiance is another issue. Bad gaps to the quarters on a rear valiance on a Mustang looks horrible, but that's the original which will most likely fit like a glove once I pay a little more attention to it. Not doing stuff in the ideal order just taking advantage of opportunity.

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part B 145: 126-137. Available: doi:10.1016/j.cbpb.2006.05.005. Interpretive Summary: Yellow mealworm larvae have a complex system of digestive proteinases, and, as such, provide a good model to study the interactions of plant proteinase inhibitors and pests. Therefore, the complete spectrum of digestive proteinases used by yellow mealworm larvae for food digestion was characterized. Proteinases were found in compartments of the gut that were conducive to maximal activity. Multiple forms of cysteine- and serine-type proteinases were found. This information will be used to study pest interactions with cereal inhibitors and ultimately to design new biopesticides for stored-product pest management.
Technical Abstract: The spectrum of Tenebrio molitor larvae digestive proteinases was studied in the context of spatial organization of protein digestion in the midgut. The pH of midgut contents increased from 5.2–5.6 to 7.8–8.2 from the anterior to the posterior. This pH gradient was reflected in the pH optima of the total proteolytic activity, 5.2 in the anterior and 9.0 in the posterior midgut. Of the total proteolytic activity in the midgut, 64% was in the anterior and 36% in the posterior. In the anterior midgut, two-thirds of the total activity was due to cysteine proteinases, while the remainder was from serine proteinases. However, in the posterior midgut, 76% of the proteolytic activity was from serine proteinases. Cysteine proteinases from the anterior midgut were represented by a group of anionic fractions with similar electrophoretic mobility. Trypsin-like activity, predominant in the posterior midgut, was due to three anionic and one cationic proteinases. Chymotrypsin-like proteinases, also predominant in the posterior, were represented by four anionic and one cationic proteinase, four with an extended binding site. Latent proteinase activity also was detected. These data support a complex system of protein digestion, and the correlation of proteinase activity and pH indicates a physiological mechanism of enzyme regulation in the gut.

For a trainer still getting to grips with the enormous training complex which he is now lucky enough to control, just taking care of the horses is a full-time concern. But on the eve of what may be his first success in an English Classic, Brian Meehan is having to deal with questions about his jockey, too.
That might seem backward – after all, unlike Meehan, Jamie Spencer has already won a Classic, on Brian Boru in the 2003 St Leger. But the former champion jockey, regularly the subject of punters' opprobrium when his trademark hold-up tactics result in defeat, has once more been the subject of debate after a couple of unfortunate recent rides, forcing Meehan to explain why he is confident that Spencer is the right man for Delegator, a 7-2 shot in today's 2,000 Guineas.
"He's always had some controversy trotting around after him over his style of riding," said Meehan this week from his base at Manton in Wiltshire. "But he has won me four Group One races and I can't even start to count how much prize money.
"Frankie [Dettori] has ridden me a Breeders' Cup winner, Pat Eddery's ridden me Ascot winners, Jimmy Fortune's ridden me a lot of winners but, at the top level, I've had the most success with Jamie.
"The thing about Jamie, he's very relaxed when he comes into the paddock on a big day. He's got it worked out, he knows what he's gonna do. Things change in a race. You have to have a jockey who's able to make a decision and adapt – the plan might be to go out and take a lead, and you end up in front.
"I never rode a winner in my life, I'm not going to start telling them how to do it. Especially when we try to employ the best [jockeys] available, for that reason."
Meehan's description of Spencer as a cool head under pressure will grate with those who backed Powerscourt in the 2004 Arlington Million, when he and Spencer were disqualified from first place for causing interference, or in the Breeders' Cup Turf later that year, when the pair faded into third after arguably going for home too soon.
At a much lower level, the jockey has twice been cautioned by the stewards in the past fortnight for his handling of the two-year-old Thomas Baines – at Windsor, he was adjudged to have given up prematurely, while his misdemeanour at Yarmouth on Thursday was using the whip with excessive force. Whether trying too hard or not enough, it seems Spencer is always at fault in someone's eyes.
"I think he's an excellent jockey, he rides great races," Meehan insists. "He'll get it wrong from time to time and I run the wrong horse in a race from time to time – we'll all get it wrong. But he's one of the top jockeys anywhere in the world, no doubt about it."
The trainer was intending to discuss tactics with Spencer late last night. Though happy to give his jockey plenty of free rein, he certainly does not expect to see Delegator right at the back of the 17-runner field at any stage.
"He's a normal ride, really, except he doesn't want to hit the front too soon. That might not be an option. They'll probably go quite fast and he'll go where he's comfortable. There's a lot of those decisions Jamie'll have to make at the time."
A more immediate concern is the state of the going at Newmarket, still good to firm after artificial watering yesterday. Meehan will walk the track this morning before deciding if it is safe to let his horse run, but says it would be surprising if the surface is not suitable. The clerk of the course, Michael Prosser, has had regular barbed reminders from the trainer over the last two weeks about the need to avoid lightning-fast ground.
Meehan can expect to have the support of many neutrals, as Delegator takes on two fancied runners from the mighty Ballydoyle stable of Aidan O'Brien, winner of this race three times in the last four years. Though he has charge of Manton's 2,400 acres, Meehan started training at the age of 25 with just nine horses, living a "hand to mouth" existence which he has left behind only by regular successes on the track.
Now 41, he has other things to look forward to, whatever happens today. Super Sleuth will line up for tomorrow's 1,000 Guineas while the trainer expects to have a big chance in next month's Derby with Crowded House, his first runner in the race.
"We got one in the stalls once but he backed out and wouldn't run. The owner had come all the way from Virginia to watch him. It was tough to take." Meehan's big-race luck may be about to turn.

Does GAF still make 40yr shingles?
I'm going to change my roof I and I have GAF timberline shingles which are at least two years old, I'm not sure how old they are but I don't think much more than two years. A roofer who looked at the job today said they haven't made 40 year shingles in at least five years. I'm pretty sure you can still buy those shingles though. Is he just trying to sell me new shingles or have they really not made 40 year shingles in five years?
they still make them but many suppliers dont stock it beacause no one with common sence uses them. either a 30 or an Ultra
The price difference is so minimal, it would be foolish not to upgrade to the premium Ultra product instead of choosing the middle of the road product.
Thanks, just wanted to know if they still made them or not.
It would have been foolish for me not to buy them at the price they were being offered at. Roofing contractor I know get a contract to do an entire HOA (about 35 houses), overbought, and couldn't return them because they sat outside and the packaging was damaged. I was told they were about a year old and I've had them about a year now.
First, make sure you have enough to do your home with. If it is close, then contact a local roofing supply house and find out about ordering them.
Thanks. I defiantly have enough regular shingles, I just need to look into getting the cap shingles of which I only have three bundles.
Just find a color from another manufacturer that is really close to the ones you have and use them instead.
You can even use a 30 year 3-tab and cut them into thirds and use them as the cap shingles as there are probably more color options available to choose from.
the difference is the 30,and 50 yr. have a shadow design,and the 40 year doesn`t so the reason to order them would be if you don`t like the shadow effect
Back to your original question.
Does GAF make the shingles you already have? Yes.
Have thay phased out the color you already own? You didn't say what color you have if I recall correctly.
Check out the website at GAF.com

Michelle R.wrote a review of Timberland Shoreham Tall Fold Down Boot - Women's on November 29, 2011
I love the style and comfort of the boot, but the color is not a true brown, as i I expected. I wondered if I was mistakenly sent a gray boot instead, but after rechecking, realised they don't have the boot in gray. I may be returning it.

A 15th person on board was found in another search, but the 42- year old woman was later pronounced dead. Authorities say a giant wave tossed the Captain and deceased crew member into the water as they were abandoning ship. The H.M.S Bounty replica was docked at the public landing in Belfast in August, and in Eastport in September.It was built in 1960 for the Marlon Brando film, Mutiny on the Bounty.Since then it has starred in other movies including Treasure Island, Yellowbeard, and Pirates of the Caribbean.the bounty sank shortly after the rescue.

Looking to buy used WK with QT II or QD II.
Hello. My '96 Grand Cherokee Limited has 156k on it, with an additional 80,000 being towed behind my Motorhome. Michigan rust is attacking the back door and rocker panels, seats are falling apart, it's time for a new/used one.
I'm focusing on a WK with less than 50,000 miles. I know that to tow flat behind my motorhome, it has to be equipped with Quadra-Trac II or Quadra-Drive II.
I've been searching online listings in my area and everyone says they have 4x4, but no one mentions which type. I am "assuming" that Quadra-Trac II or Quadra-Drive II is typically included in the loaded package Limited Editions and not in the Laredo.
Is there any way to tell using the VIN , what type of 4wd is in the package?
You know how difficult it can be dealing with Used Car Salesmen, who have to have knowledge about every vehicle sold in the last 20 years.....it doesn't happen. What questions should I ask them to verify if the WK has Quadra-Trac II or Quadra-Drive II ?
Thanks in Advance.
Mike in Battle Creek.
Re: Looking to buy used WK with QT II or QD II.
If you can inspect the vehicle, you can look at the gear console. Quadra Drive II systems will state this right under the gear shift.
You can also stick your head under and look at the rear axle - if it has electronic connections going into it, it's QDII, as they are used to control the LSD.
I'm not sure if it still works, but it used to be if you used the following link (replacing the VIN at the end of the link), it would bring up the build sheet for your vehicle:
I am sure it is possible to decode the VIN by hand as well, but I am not sure what digit/code you are looking for.
With the above, you shouldn't have to ask the dealer anything, provided you can see it in person.
Re: Looking to buy used WK with QT II or QD II.
Thanks, I'll try that.

I was very excited to see this product.
I'm working on a way to monitor and datalog specific gravity of beer while fermenting. As far as I can tell I could use the output of this sensor to calculate the gravity of wort while fermenting. Any beer nerds out there with some ideas?

boiler / Over-pressurizing
It is the end of the heating season, so of course now is the time when a problem crops up in my heating boiler system.
I have an old gas boiler system with circulation pumps and an overhead expansion tank. The incoming water line is regulated by a relatively new pressure regulating valve apparently set to 10 (units). The system is over-pressurizing when heating up to 190 degrees and the relief valve is dripping out water as the system pressure exceeds 30 (units). When the system shuts off because we have warmer weather outside and cools down to room temperature, the pressure in the system must be dropping to below 10 (units) and therefore more water is added. Then, the system comes back on again because the temperatures outside dropped back down again, and the peak pressure is again exceeded and water comes out the relief valve again. I cannot see the top of the expansion tank to see if there is some kind of air pressuring valve or a pipe to take excess water automatically out of the system. However, the expansion tank does have a manual valve for me to hook up a garden hose to drain water out of the tank if I need to.
As a quick fix, I shut off the incoming water valve, drained the expansion tank to 5 units, then started up the system and manually drained the expansion tank more each time the pressure approached 30 units so that pressure would return to a safe 15 units and the system could continue heating up to 190 degrees. Pressure now seems to be oscillating between 10 units and 15 units on its own as the system is running through the heating cycles, incoming water remains turned off since I dont see the need to add any new water into the system at this time when there seems to be no way for water to get out.
My questions:
Is the pressure range of 5-30+ units of pressure for heating water from room temperature to 190 dregrees F seem proper? With the incoming water line turned off as this is happening, where is the excess water coming from?
How is water normally supposed to exit the system? As far as I can tell, there is no pipeline to automatically take water out of the system. Is there supposed to be a second pressure regulating valve for an exit line somewhere?
How is air supposed to get into a sealed pipe system like this? It seems the expansion tank must be allowing air in and out somehow, or else how could it ever get filled or emptied? Is the air in the tank supposed to be pressure regulated too, and could a fault there have something to do with my problem?
What is likely the faulty component in my system? Why is this just happening to me now (after more than 5 seasons of use) for the first time? Is there a way I can fix it?
Am I required to bleed and flush the system annually? (cause I know I haven't been doing that)
Thanks so much for any thoughts or other assistance as I try to figure this important home system out.
Most smaller hot water heating systems operate at 12psi idle, no pump running. When at full temp 180deg, the pressure should not exceed 15-20psi.
The water pressure regulator is factory preset to allow water to pass, or fill until 12 psi is reflected in your system.
An expansion tank is desgned to accept water as the water in your system heats up and expands.. If you have an overhead tank, the air trapped above the water acts like a cushion, and forces the water back into the system as it cools. If there is no air cushion, the heated water has nowhere to go, or no room for expansion, and the system will over pressurize.
Hot water systems should not need to have water added, or be flushed annualy. Oxygen in the water does nasty things when excessive.
You are apparently losing the air from the expansion tank due to a leak. If the tank is more than 20yrs old or has a sightglass, more than likely one of these two are the problem. If there is a pinhole in the tank replace it. If the sightglass is leaking, it can easily be repaired.
You may want to have the pressure relief tested also. It sounds like its doing its job, but it is the most critical safety device on your system and under NO circumstances should it be restricted or plugged.
If you have a bladder type expansion tank it probably needs to be replaced.
Hope this helps.

I still describe my daughter as blond, which she hasn't been for ages, so my mental image needs updating.
When I think of "S" I think of her three years old wearing her orange Tom and Jerry tee shirt, running away laughing, long blond hair flying - at bedtime in our old house. She's now seven, she stopped being able to run shortly after that, and that tee shirt wouldn't stand a chance. But that's what I think of...the tee shirt, running away, and that giggle. At least she still has the giggle
