"We Just Witnessed a War Crime"
The first thing we learned about war re-enactment is that it's fucking terrifying having guns fired at you, even ones loaded with blanks. The second thing we learned is a common re-enactor's dilemma called "The G.I. Effect", which is basically that people playing Americans don't like to die. So sometimes they just don't.It's Like Vietnam All Over Again, pt 1. Part 2

Looking Into the Past
Vietnam - Looking Into the Past. Vietnamese photographer Khánh Hmoong takes pictures of Vietnamese landscapes and buildings, then superimposes a photograph from the past over the modern day setting. His work is similar to FILMography (previously on MeFi), Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov's World War II gallery: Link to the Past, and Ben Heine's Pencil Versus Camera. Via
Scuds on Steroids
Unha-3, Pyongyang's first successful orbital launch vehicle, dropped her first stage into the Yellow Sea after December 12's launch. Analysis of debris salvaged by the South Korean Navy suggests the scud-derived, crudely assembled rocket is actually an ICBM with enough range to theoretically reach the U.S. (should North Korea somehow manage to miniaturize their nuclear weapon technology and develop re-entry ability).

Terminator: the Documentary
A report was recently released suggesting a pre-emptive ban on fully autonomous weapons - robots that can pick and choose whom to fire on. If this sounds vaguely alarming to you, don't worry - the Department of Defense issued a directive indicating that fully automous robots may only decide to tase you.
Destroyer Gods and Sons-of-Bitches
In the telling it has the contours of a creation myth: At a time of great evil and great terror, a small group of scientists, among the world's greatest minds, secluded themselves in the desert. In secrecy and silence they toiled at their Promethean task. They sought the ultimate weapon, one of such great power as to end not just their war, but all war. They hoped their work would salvage the future. They feared it could end everything. - Prometheus in the desert: from atom bombs to radio astronomy, New Mexico's scientific legacy

Coronet Instructional Films
From the mid 40s to the mid 50s Coronet Instructional Films were always ready to provide social guidance for teenagers on subjects as diverse as dating, popularity, preparing for being drafted, and shyness, as well as to children on following the law, the value of quietness in school, and appreciating our parents. They also provided education on topics such as the connection between attitudes and health, what kind of people live in America, how to keep a job, supervising women workers, the nature of capitalism, and the plantation System in Southern life. Inside is an annotated collection of all 86 of the complete Coronet films in the Prelinger Archives as well as a few more. Its not like you had work to do or anything right? [more inside]

How Things Fell Apart, By Chinua Achebe - 'In an excerpt from his long-awaited memoir, the inventor of the post-colonial African novel in English discusses his origins as a writer and the seeds of revolt against the British Empire.'
I can say that my whole artistic career was probably sparked by this tension between the Christian religion of my parents, which we followed in our home, and the retreating, older religion of my ancestors, which fortunately for me was still active outside my home. I still had access to a number of relatives who had not converted to Christianity and were called heathens by the new converts. When my parents were not watching I would often sneak off in the evenings to visit some of these relatives.[more inside]

"But the technique that all of us in Aden listened to agape was a method that had been developed allegedly very recently, which was to suspend the prisoner in a tank of liquid gelatine which was at 94.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Naked. With your arms and legs tied and your head encased in a sort of diver's helmet, through which you were breathing. You were hung into this tank, so all you could hear was the [breathing noise] of your own breath. And in theory you would go bonkers. Because you didn't know which way was up, you had no sense." -Interview with British Interrogator #1 [more inside]

The Manbij Experiment
"What is currently happening in Manbij, once a sleepy provincial city in northern Syria, is the first future-oriented experiment in the midst of horror. " In the Syrian city of Manbij, the first larger city to be liberated by rebel forces, residents have been left with the task of governing amidst Syrian forces' daily attempts to destroy schools, hospitals, access to clean water and other infrastructure using air strikes.

The Pacific War Photographs of Pfc Glenn W. Eve — "In the summer of 1942, the U.S. Army called up a skinny California boy barely out of his teens. But at 5'9'' and 125 pounds, Private Glenn W. Eve was deemed unfit for combat. He might have spent the duration of World War II at a desk, except that he had field skills the Army needed – he was a gifted artist, draftsman and photographer who'd spent the previous four years working for the Walt Disney Co. In July 1944, they promoted him to private first class (Pfc) and assigned him to the Signal Photo Corps, bound for the Pacific to document the war. This is his collection, never before published. All comments in quotes are Pfc Eve's, written on the back of the photo."

"Are we the baddies?"
Danish author Sven Hassel (Wikipedia, official site) has passed away at the age of 95. (Danish - Translation) Hassel fought for the Germans during WWII and became famous after publishing Legion of the Damned, a semi-autobiographical account of the war. He went on to write thirteen more books following the adventures of his convict battalion, incuding Wheels of Terror which in 1987 was made into the movie The Misfit Brigade staring Bruce Davison and David Patrick Kelly (clip). He will be remembered fondly by all who browsed the bookshelves of charity shops as young men.

Overcoming student debt by working in war zone
"If I had felt any unease that I was potentially exploiting a horrible situation for personal gain, it was short-lived. The next four months were the most stressful, difficult, and dangerous of my life until that point, and probably—hopefully—ever. ... On December 31, 2004, I achieved a couple of significant milestones: I made my final student loan payment, and I had a positive net worth for the first time in my adult life. Mortars, rockets, and car bombs aside, that was pretty satisfying."

"A continuous slaughter which could be of no avail either to the French or the Russians."
Today is the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Borodino, in which Napoleon's armies met Russian troops 75 miles east of Moscow on 7 September 1812. The huge battle, involving quarter of a million troops, was the strongest stand the Imperial Russian Army made against Napoleon's forces, and it resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. Although the Russian army withdrew, the French tactical victory in the Battle of Borodino was a Pyrrhic one, and Napoleon ultimately left Russia in defeat. The battle was reenacted at Borodino last weekend, as is done annually. A cultural symbol of Russian national courage, the Battle of Borodino has been famously commemorated in Russian literature, music, art, and poetry. [more inside]

"Captains Courageous"
'While they never met, they had some things in common. Both were Army captains, engaged in important work for the nation, their costly educations paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Ian Morrison, 26, returned to Fort Hood, Texas, last December after nine months flying 70 combat missions over Iraq. Dr. Michael McCaddon, 37, was an ob-gyn resident at Hawaii's Tripler Army Medical Center. The pilot and the doctor shared one other thing: they found themselves in a darkening, soul-sucking funnel that has trapped some 2,500 military personnel since 9/11. Like them, each died, at his own hand, on March 21, nearly 4,000 miles apart.' [more inside]

The online video has "allowed the war to be documented like no other", according to the Times, presumably because of the ubiquity of video cameras among the fighters and access to the Internet.

Gyges and his magic ring
"Assassination and targeted killings have always been in the repertoires of military planners, but never in the history of warfare have they been so cheap and easy. The relatively low number of troop casualties for a military that has turned to drones means that there is relatively little domestic blowback against these wars. The United States and its allies have created the material conditions whereby these wars can carry on indefinitely. The non-combatant casualty rates in populations that are attacked by drones are slow and steady, but they add up. That the casualty rates are relatively low by historical standards — this is no Dresden — is undoubtedly a good thing, but it may allow the international media to overlook pesky little facts like the slow accretion of foreign casualties." -NYT Opinionator: The Moral Hazard of Drones

Given how little thought India's contribution to the World Wars gets in our collective historical memory, it is almost strange to think that in the First World War India made the largest contribution to the war effort out of all of Britain's colonies and dominions. Close to 1,700,000 Indians – combatants and non-combatants – participated in WWI. My own area of interest is India's role in the Mesopotamian theatre. [more inside]
Interesting aspects of the American Civil War
Ta-Nehisi Coates, a senior editor at The Atlantic, recently touched on a couple of interesting aspects of the American Civil War. First, Racism Against White People briefly looked at how Southern intellectuals argued that Northern whites were of a different race. Then a subthread in the comments on that post spawned an investigation of American Exceptionalism in History and the notion of preserving democracy in the context of the American Civil War. After all, "if a government can be sundered simply because the minority doesn't like the results of an election, can it even call itself a government?" Definitely check out the comments of both posts.

In this volume, some 350 highlights--23 of which are new to this edition--from the Museum's six curatorial departments, are interwoven to present a sumptuous and broadly chronological overview that takes readers from Post-Impressionism to contemporary art. Every work that was executed in color is reproduced in "MoMA Highlights" in vibrant hues, and each is accompanied by a brief commentary. Updated and revised, this book is the definitive guide to the broad scope of MoMA's collection. Also updated and expanded, The Museum of Modern Art recently reopened on November 20, 2004 in its newly designed building by architect Yoshio Taniguchi.

I have a site like twitter.com on server one and on server two I have a forum, which path is like domain.com/forum.
On server one I wanted to implement wild card DNS for the domain but on server two I wanted to keep the forum separate. I can't give the sub-domain forum.domain.com because all its links are already in search engines and link back to domain.com/forum.
So, I was wondering, how can I put the domain and wild card DNS on server one and still be able to give the path on server 2 for domain.com/forum (as a sub-folder).
Any ideas?
Do you think htaccess can do that job? If yes, then how?

Politics It's Unanimous: McGavick Doesn't Get It on Iraq
GOP U.S. Senate Candidate Mike McGavick doesn't support an amendment (passed unanimously by the Senate earlier this month) that bans establishing permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq.
Sen. Cantwell was the cosponsor of the amendment along with Sen. Joseph Biden of Deleware.
Here's the August 3, 2006 amendment.
AMENDMENT NO. 4851 (Purpose: To prohibit the use of funds for establishing United States military installations in Iraq or exercising United States control over the oil resources of Iraq) At the end of title VIII, add the following: SEC. 8109. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be obligated or expended by the United States government for a purpose as follows: (1) To establish any military installation or base for the purpose of providing for the permanent stationing of United States Armed Forces in Iraq. (2) To exercise United States control over any oil resource of Iraq.
A brief one-liner in last Thursday's Seattle Times noted: "Cantwell recently voted for a measure to ban permanent military bases in Iraq. McGavick disagreed, saying it was premature to decide."

Busking in the Underground
I don't know what pleasures await you on your daily commute, but if you ride the F train, you're probably familiar with the world's loudest Norteno band. Like cowboys from hell, these merry gents in 10-gallon hats reliably board the train at Delancey Street and transform the rest of the ride into a polka-riffic frightmare.
Nothing wrong with subway musicians. The right tune can transform a dreary commute into a romantic adventure. I often give a dollar to a busker on the platform, whether it's the mad jazzman at Columbus Circle blowing two trumpets or the Carroll Street xylophonist whose strange compositions bring tears to my eyes.
But playing aboard the train is another matter. Two guitars and a concertina, it turns out, can produce a decibel level rivaling a jet engine's. And I'm not the only commuter who dreads the Norteno band. Passengers eye each other and shake their heads. Hipsters crank up their iPods. The musicians, meanwhile, are laughing and wiggling their hips like it's Saturday night at the cantina, and then they have the nerve to ask for money. You have to wonder: Are they totally oblivious?
Well, I just got back from my first try at performing aboard the F train, and I can report firsthand—something crazy happens to your brain when you play the MTA. There might be 48 people on the car giving you the evil eye, but all you notice is the one man tapping his foot and digging into his wallet. It's addictive.
This was not what I expected. Buskers say it's a huge challenge just to keep going. Gio Safari, a classically trained guitarist who plays Dylan on the D train, said he used to earn $50 to $100 a day playing long shifts. Now, he earns roughly half that on two 90-minute stints, but it's all he can muster. While some performances garner appreciative applause, the typical response is indifference. "It's very dehumanizing," he says.
He does better than some. Nick Broad, a producer traveling the globe to research busker culture for his website thebuskingproject.com, says he's seen New York performers earn anywhere from $5 to $400 for a half-day's work—it's all about the audience connection. Musicians who boldly ask for money, he says, double their pay. "You have to be a little bit obnoxious, but in a good way. Confident," he says.
Too chicken to go solo, I recruited my little brother. Phil plays full time at a West Village piano bar, so he's an old hand at garnering tips. And thanks to our road trips home to Buffalo, we have lots of practice singing together. Our MTA performance picks: the Velvet Underground's "After Hours" and the Kingston Trio's lovely, jazzy "Scotch and Soda." Guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
Still, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Yes, everyone in the Kadet family is a genius of staggering proportions, not to mention good looking and impossibly suave. But great singers we are not. I was afraid of getting shot.
Our first stop: the Jay Street platform in Brooklyn. I learned a few things. First, MTA acoustics are fantastic. If you're a narcissist, there's nothing better than the sound of your own voice ringing off a thousand hard and shiny surfaces. Second, just because the people aren't watching doesn't mean they're not listening. When we finished our first mini set, a utility worker dropped a dollar in our plastic salad bowl, and a fat kid tossed us quarter. I was hooked.
Playing on the train took more nerve. We started with the Velvets tune, and passengers stared determinedly at their shoes. Then Phil launched into "Scotch and Soda"—my cue to lurch down the aisle waving the salad bowl, shaking my stupid tambourine and singing off-key harmonies. Suddenly, I spotted her: a pony-tailed lady in a down coat, fumbling with her wallet. She slipped me two bucks as I passed. Was she crazy?
On we pressed. There was no pattern behind the tipping. Old, young, rich, poor, it was impossible to predict who would give. Half the folks who tossed us a buck were wearing headphones. My brother wondered what would happen if we skipped the singing altogether and just asked for money.
At 14th Street, we disembarked—only to spot a pair of fellow buskers getting questioned by the cops. "The fuzz!" I hissed, and we scrambled up the stairs. While platform performances are protected under the First Amendment (playing on the train is an MTA violation), buskers say getting tickets, and taking time off to go to downtown Brooklyn to get them overturned, are a cost of doing business.
Competition is another complication. The L train platform was occupied by a pair of banjo-strumming hippies in shorts and feathers; the station's long corridor had a bucket drummer on one end and a Beatles cover artist at the other. Buskers say that standard etiquette requires turning over a coveted space to a fellow musician after several hours, but who has time to wait?
It was quitting time. Brother and I hit a café and counted our loot: $13.75. I was thinking it wasn't a bad take for an hour's playing, but then I ran our earnings by Theo "King of the Underground" Eastwind, a New York busking legend. How did we do?
"Horrible!" he declared.
On the other hand, he says, lots of buskers do horribly these days. People tip less in a bad economy, and no one buys CDs anymore. He's trying to make up for the shortfall by finding sponsors, and recently earned $2,000 playing underground to promote Axe Instinct Deodorant Bodyspray.
Still, he warns, some of the city's best buskers are leaving town, and the exodus will certainly continue if things don't improve. "Maybe you should tell the readers of The Wall Street Journal to give us some money," he says.
Done. But please, hold off on the tips when you see that Norteno band.

Collingwood is facing a ruck dilemma ahead of the qualifying final against Hawthorn
- From: Herald Sun
- September 03, 2012
COLLINGWOOD must consider a specialist second ruckman for the qualifying final against premiership favourites Hawthorn at the MCG on Friday night - but it won't be key forward Travis Cloke.
Pies director of football Geoff Walsh said Cloke put himself up as an option to support Darren Jolly against Essendon last Friday night in the absence of Chris Dawes, but the club decided instead to use defender Nick Maxwell in the role.
"We will have to think about that going in against Hawthorn," Walsh said.
The Pies will need to do well against David Hale and Jarryd Roughead, who have enjoyed excellent seasons.
However he ruled out Cloke for the chore, especially following his return to form with 20 kicks, 16 marks and five goals.
"(Use him in the ruck) and you take Travis out of your forward line which doesn't add up," he said.
"He does a bit of ruck work at training but he hasn't played in the ruck for the past four or five years."
Walsh said Dawes was not out of selection consideration.
"Ideally you want someone who has played in the ruck. Dawes has not been ruled out," he told SEN.
"Unfortunately the VFL team didn't make the finals so he didn't have a game to prove himself over the weekend.
"But he did a lot of goal kicking and marking in training."
The Pies expect skipper Maxwell (leg) and Travis Goldsack (ankle) to be fit for selection.
Meanwhile, Hawthorn must replace the injured Brent Guerra (hamstring) and has a host of candidates who performed well for Box Hill in the VFA.
Football manager Mark Evans said coach Alastair Clarkson had the option of make a straight swap of defender for defender, or he could chose a more versatile player and shuffle the line-up.
Xavier Ellis, a premiership player for the Hawks in 2008, is favourite to return if a defender is chosen, while others in contention include Shane Savage, Tom Murphy and Max Bailey.
At Geelong, football manager Neil Balme said speedy Travis Varcoe had recovered from a leg ailment and would be considered for selection against Fremantle in the elimination final at the MCG on Saturday night.

NEW ORLEANS (March 10, 2014) New Orleans police are asking for the public's help in finding a 44-year-old Texas man.
Rex Turner was last seen on Feb. 27 in New Orleans, a police news release said.
Turner reportedly planned to open a business in Monroe in northeast Louisiana, but a family member in Houston told police that Turner was last seen in New Orleans.
Turner is white, 6-feet-2-inches tall and weighs 230 pounds.
He has brown hair and blue eyes, a scar on his head and may be wearing glasses.
Investigators asked anyone with information to call New Orleans police at (504) 821-2222.

Politics Preaching to the Choir
posted by March 1 at 17:22 PMon
This report was filed by news intern Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, who'll be filing another report after this afternoon's hearing on state Sen. Eric Oemig's Bush impeachment resolution.
At a afternoons rally in Olympia in support of state Sen. Eric Oemigs impeachment resolution (which would, as Josh reported earlier, calls on Congress to investigate the actions of President Bush and Vice President Cheney and determine whether Bush should be impeached), the crowd was small but rowdya couple hundred people, a dog, and a 10-foot-tall puppet. Among the human protesters was a very excited Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, who called Bush a war criminal and roused the overwhelmingly middle-aged, white, Patagonia-and-poncho-wearing crowd to join him in his chant of no more Iraq war, before invoking Nuremberg and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Nuremberg came up so many times during the protest I started to wish I was keeping score.
The wishful-thinking consensus on the capitol steps was that the Democrats lack of support for the freshman senators resolution will cost them votes later on.
Also on the scene: The antiwar Raging Grannies (above). Draped in shawls and anti-war buttons, the Grannies are undoubtedly the oldest members of the crowd. (And Im easily the youngest.) I asked the Grannies about the lack of young people in the crowd. Its a generational thing, they said. Reportedly, conflicting obligations kept young political activists occupied and unable to come out in support of Senator Oemigs bill. (However, a bus trip from Seattle to attend the demonstration and hearing was canceled at the last minute due to lack of interest, suggesting an alternative explanation.)
The hearing was pushed back an hour because of a scheduling conflict. At 4:00, there were too many observers to fill the small hearing room, and the rest of the crowd was sent to an overflow room nearby. No Republicans were in attendance, and no one signed up to speak in opposition to the resolution.

Senior Constable Tom Taylor, of Balclutha, said between 30
and 40 digger teeth, also called digger tips, were taken from
beside a container at the Kai Point Coal site between 6pm on
November 6 and 3pm on November 7.
The missing teeth have a combined value of about $3700, and
some may still be painted blue like the one pictured.
Snr Const Taylor said police believed offenders might have
used a four-wheel motorbike to steal the digger teeth, moving
large rocks to gain access to the mine site. He asked anyone
who saw anything suspicious in that area on November 6 or 7
to contact the Balclutha police on (03) 418-0203 or
Crimestoppers on 0800 555-111.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Hi folks,
I'm running WP multisite with BuddyPress and BuddyPress Private Community to restrict the visibility of a couple of pages. With the plugin setup to 'block_none_and_not_allow_some' when the user is logged in, they can see all pages. When the user is logged out, they are redirected from restricted pages but get a page not found error on the homepage (latests posts).
If I create a new page and modify my reading settings so that latest posts are displayed on said new page, the same problem occurs. With the plugin enabled, logged out users cannot view latest posts even though the plugin is configured to block only two pages.
I'm running two near-identical sites with this exact same problem. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you solve it?
...I've also noticed that this also affects the latest posts pages of all my network sites!
...I've had to disabled the plugin, it was causing all kinds of errors. I couldn't access archive pages on my network sites either.

GAO Findings and Recommendations Regarding DOD and VA Disability Systems
GAO-07-906R: Published: May 25, 2007. Publicly Released: May 25, 2007.

(202) 512-5988
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As of April 2007, about 26,000 service members had been injured as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), according to the Department of Defense (DOD). Those service members injured in the line of duty are eligible for military disability compensation. When they leave the military, they may also be eligible for compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In fiscal year 2005 alone, the Army, Navy, and Air Force evaluated over 23,000 military disability retirement cases and, in fiscal year 2004, over $1 billion in permanent and temporary military disability retirement benefits were paid to over 90,000 service members. Through the VA disability compensation and pension claims programs, about $34.5 billion in VA cash disability benefits went to more than 3.5 million veterans and their survivors in fiscal year 2006. On April 23, 2007, we briefed the Commission on the results of our recent studies of DOD and VA disability systems. This report presents the information we provided during that briefing.
In our 2006 report on the DOD military disability retirement system, we found the services were not achieving the DOD timeliness goals for processing disability cases and DOD was not monitoring achievement of these goals. Our analysis of Army data on military disability benefit decisions also suggests that outcomes for active duty and reserve component members of the military may not be consistent. More specifically, Army reservists judged unfit for duty were somewhat less likely to receive either permanent disability retirement or a lump sum disability payment than their active duty counterparts, although we were unable to take into account all factors that might have legitimately explained this difference. Despite the potential for inconsistent disability decisions within and across the services, neither DOD nor the services systematically evaluated the consistency of these decisions or compiled the data on the characteristics of service members needed to do so. Finally, we found that training for MEB and PEB disability evaluation staff designed to produce timely and consistent decisions was lacking. In recent years we have completed several reviews on various aspects of VA disability compensation that have led to a number of recommendations for improvements in the system. With regard to claims processing between fiscal years 2003 and 2006, the average number of days these claims were pending increased by 16 days, to an average of 127 days. At the same time, appeals resolution remained a lengthy process. In fiscal year 2006, it took an average of 657 days to resolve appeals. Moreover, the accuracy of VA compensation decisions was 88 percent in 2006, well short of its goal of 98 percent. Decisions affecting eligibility for military disability benefits and VA disability compensation have a significant impact on the future of service members dedicated to serving their country. Given the importance of these decisions and the complexity of evaluation processes and rules governing eligibility for these benefits, it is essential that DOD and VA take the necessary steps to ensure that decisions in these cases are accurate, consistent, and timely.

"KWAZULU-NATAL" Top 5 Page for this destination Province of KwaZulu-Natal by dutch_anna
Province of KwaZulu-Natal Travel Guide: 1,046 reviews and 2,468 photos
This is a page more about the province Kwazulu-Natal, than about Durban. On the old VT was no page for the whole province, so I made a Durban page, although I was only a few times in Durban. Now I transferred this page to a new Kwazulu-Natal page. I left the coast north and south of Durban on the Durban page.
Lets start in the Natal Drakensbergen: in our suitcase good shoes for walking, a warm sweater for the evenings and all the food and drinks you need when you are self-catering! And the camera, of course.

"The Valley of 1000 Hills"...such a romantic-sounding place, huh? Thanks for such a lovely page. I miss you, my friend. xo
hi Anna! it's been too long... though I still think of first VT friends often. Thanks for this page, lots of history, all still close to present times. Very moving. :-)
I was surprised by the beauty of that country. It has a sad history, all that fighting. There is a book by James A. Michener, "promised earth" or so. Its about families from different cultures here (Trekker, English and Zulu) Its really good.
great write up Anna and fine fotos, the travelogues made me want to go right away
Wonderful landscapes with such a sad history!!
You have been to some beautiful places Anna. Love the bicycle!!
Wonderful areas... and some great background and history you have provided. I love the cottage you stayed in. Give me the left side of the road any day...lol. Wonderful t'logues Anna.. what a great trip.
