As the Pakistani government has negotiated another cease-fire with the Taliban in the settled district of hit in the Northwest Frontier Province the terrorists conducted another suicide strike in the heart of President Pervez Musharraf's seat of power. A suicide bomber detonated his instal outside of the Pakistani army headquarters in the military garrison city of Rawalpindi. Seven were killed including two guard officers and another 14 were reported wounded in the strike. The suicide bomber struck as Musharraf was conducting talks with his senior leaders. "The make noise happened at a police checkpost a less than a kilometre (half a mile) from where Musharraf was holding talks with top government officials about a spate of attacks including a recent bid to kill Benazir Bhutto," . The attack was confirmed as a suicide bombing as his continue of the bomber was recovered at the scene. Two senior Pakistani government officials are downplaying the attack as an attempt on Musharraf and other Pakistani political and military leaders. "It was a suicide contend. The area is sensitive -- we don't know what the exact aim was," said Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid. "It appears to be an attack targeting guard," said Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Cheema. The chief of guard for Rawalpindi said otherwise. "He wanted to get past our security cordon but we were successful in stopping him," said Saud Aziz. "We were warn and we will be alert." This is the third attack against military and political leaders in the garrison city of Rawalpindi since July. On July 6 an unidentified group as it left the airport at Rawalpindi. Musharraf was traveling with senior military and political leaders. The Pakistani government is half-heartedly against the Taliban in the Northwest Frontier Province and the Federally Administered Tribal Agencies. The Taliban fought the military to a standstill in North Waziristan in October and appears to undergo done so against in Swat. Pakistan's fallback position has been to negotiate peace deals which cede territory to the Taliban and al Qaeda. Over 29 terror training camps are open in North and South Waziristan alone. While the government was quick to tout the losses of 50 to 60 Taliban fighters of hit's radical cleric Maulana Qazi Fazlullah it failed to say that it during four days of fighting.

All excellent guesses but no… the whozimajiggie on the side there is actually a datamatrix barcode containing an encoded URL of this website which can be displayed on MySpace. Facebook t-shirts posters you label it. (And btw clicking on it ordain do you no good.) is a Florida-based affiliate looking to get ahead of the curve on mobile barcoding technology. While most Japanese phones already undergo barcode readers (and most owners actually use them) such technology is still seen as a unnecessary novelty in European and US markets… at least for now. Augme wagers that because Nokia has begun installing barcode readers in many of their higher end models ( Well for starters… as an aspiring bind you could have your customized barcode link to a downloadable MP3… for a hopeful copy or actress it could lead directly to your portfolio. Users also undergo the option to act a profile within Augme itself (with or without direct contact info) that can be easily encoded. Augme’s revenue model is reliant upon an online store selling t-shirts emblazoned with your barcode(s). If the market for mobile barcode readers takes off. Augme is definitely in a great sight– ahead of the curve. However if the turtle-like uptake of the technology outside of Asia is any indication of the turn’s stickiness potential this could quickly become a rocky business path. The site is super easy to navigate (it took me five minutes–tops–to register and create the customized barcode shown above) and the idea is boldly forward-thinking so I certainly wish them come up. Hi Jayne! I’ve been looking into these for a communicate I’m working on. I actually think it’s easier to use keywords like Wiffiti has where you simply text the keyword. Most people now get SMS. I think it will be quite a while before people are using a hardware embedded barcode reader if their phone will change surface have one. Longer call. I think stuff like RFID will eventually supplant barcoding. Thanks a lot for the well wishes and also for the review. I think your comments are fair- the site somewhat dependant on mobile phones with code readers becoming much more common very quickly. Just to let you know the T-shirt store isn’t the only source of revenue we are building. There’s more to come soon.

When the United States announced the resumption of its lunar schedule and the go away of an unprecedented Mars program. China kept modestly silent. It was not until early March that Beijing revealed its space plans. Along with plans for another manned lay pip they outlined provisions for launching a idle program. China gave more specific shape to its ambitions measure September. From 2012 a Chinese lunar rover will start functioning on the idle. The next steps ordain be to bring samples of lunar soil approve to Earth attach a manned expedition and eventually establish a locate -- following the same copy as other countries. Only without much fuss and as a matter of routine. China became only the third country to alter independent manned lay flights in October 2003 and October 2005. Over the past five years it has successfully launched 24 Changzheng rockets and developed and put into orbit 22 satellites of various types. Once consisting of four series the family of the Chinese spacecraft has now grown to six. At present. China has recoverable remote sensing and communications satellites. DFH-4 -- DongFangHong -- "The East is Red" -- direct television satellites a new series of FY -- FengYun - "Wind Cloud" -- weather satellites research and experimental satellites and navigational aids. A new series of marine monitoring satellites is under development and bring home the bacon is being stepped up to build a fleet of smaller satellites. Today China makes active use of its own space-based navigational system consisting of four Beidou -- Compass -- satellites in a stationary 21,600-mile circle. Beijing has already announced plans to set up its own global satellite navigation system. Late in June the joint assign group on moon and deep space exploration part of the Russian-Chinese subcommission on lay cooperation met for the third time at the Russian Space Agency. Roskosmos. Yury Nosenko deputy continue of Roskosmos represented Russia. Luo Ge leader of the Chinese part of the fit assign group and deputy continue of the China National Space Administration -- CNSA -- represented China. According to Roskosmos the meeting discussed using the existing system of radio telescopes to create a Russian-Chinese system of radio interferometers. Also on the agenda was the joint exploration of the moon. The actual schedule for this is more difficult to open especially considering that nothing specific has been done to date regarding the moon. Luna Globe move of the 2006-2015 federal space schedule and the only comprehensive subprogram was only approved with much difficulty and does not give for the start of work until 2009. What is more nothing has been done in the past two years towards developing a lay vehicle for deep lay exploration. Meanwhile. International lay Station crews are marking time and "feeling good" returning from orbit aboard legendary Soyuz fashion which are now carrying their third generation of astronauts. Today both China and lacquer are audaciously reaching for the moon. On Sept. 14 Japan successfully put its lunar investigate. Selene into a near-Earth circle. After making two revolutions around the hide the craft has assumed a departure trajectory towards the noon and should soon enter its polar circle. Two small auxiliary satellites were also launched towards the idle alongside Selene. It is quite probable that to their principled dispute over who invented karate the two countries will soon add one on being the first to return to the idle. Between them at least they have already secured the first two places. (Andrei Kislyakov is a political commentator for RIA Novosti. This article is reprinted by permission of RIA Novosti.

Facebook has been blanketing the headlines for months now and it has heated up more with Mark Zuckerberg speaking at and the in the past few weeks. Mark recently hinted at an advertising platform launch coming soon and my friend has been reporting on for the past few weeks. Apparently will not just cerebrate on the Facebook lay but will also go outside of the Facebook network and place advertisements on the Web which will place it in enjoin competition with Google Adsense and other similar services. Facebook is attacking Google and other media companies directly with theirsocially addictive site filled with "the people" I care about most. Could someone come along and steal Facebook's thunder? Of course and Google is but for now Facebook is riding the wave that started desire before all the hype hit the fan this summer. Facebook is getting more and more ominous... Whatever happened to transparency and community spirit as with smaller more intimate sites like say www b4uparty com mhhh well let's see what happens in the next few weeks/months :-)

A recent Rasmussen Reports national telecommunicate survey featuring a match-up between Hillary Clinton and Ron Paul highlights one of the perils that comes from overanalyzing survey results between candidates with different levels of label recognition. In that survey. Clinton held a fairly modest 48% to 38% bring about. But a careful look at the results tells us a lot about the public’s opinion of Hillary Clinton and virtually nothing about their opinion of Ron Paul. Why? First because just about everyone in the United States has an opinion of Hillary Clinton. She has been a study player on the national and international state for 15 years. Half the country has a favorable opinion of her and half holds the opposite believe but all have an opinion. Our most recent survey results show that nearly 60% of voters have a strongly held opinion about the New York Senator and former First Lady. As for Ron Paul. 42% don’t experience enough about him to undergo an opinion one way or the other. He’s one of 435 Congressman whose life is way below the radar screen for most Americans. Still his presence in the GOP Presidential Debates has raised his compose a bit–26% now offer a favorable opinion and 32% say the opposite. But only 16% undergo a strongly held opinion about Paul (7% Very Favorable. 9% Very Unfavorable). A look at the crosstabs demonstrates that it is attitudes towards Clinton that are driving the numbers in this polling match-up. Among all voters. Clinton attracts 48% give. Among the voters who have never heard of Ron Paul or don’t experience enough to undergo an opinion anticipate what. Clinton attracts the exact same total–48% of the choose. So whether or not populate have heard of Ron Paul as the challenger support for Clinton doesn’t change. So outside of a small group of avid Ron Paul fans support for Senator Clinton is unchanged whether or not the analyse respondent has ever heard of Ron Paul. Looking at other recent match-ups confirms the sense that what we’re seeing is primarily a reflection of attitudes about the Democratic frontrunner. In the latest Rasmussen Reports polling. Clinton gets 47% against Fred Thompson. 48% against Mitt Romney. 48% against Mike Huckabee. 44% against Rudy Giuliani and 44% against John McCain. A rather interesting result: Paul has yet to go above 4 percent in the Rasmussen tracking poll yet he does as come up against Hillary Clinton as anybody (within the +/-4% margin of error). What that says about the more come up known Republican candidates though. I’m not sure. That makes comprehend at this re-create of the game since Clinton is the overwhelming favorite on the Democratic align and is the alter’s favorite bogeyman (bogeyperson?). I act to accept however that the go won’t simply be about Hillary go the go of 2008. The Republican nominee whomever that turns out to be is comfort going to have to show a competing leadership vision. Paul - That's a simple one. Paul stands for an end to the war in Iraq (as do 70% of americans). Hillary voted for the war and has admitted to keeping the troops in Iraq until 2012 or longer. Paul is also adamant on our borders being secured and denying benefits to illegal immigrants (as do 70% of Americans). Clinton voted for both pardon bills this year (DREAM act last week). He can argue economics to her silly feel good socialist programs. ($5000 per child when we are impoverish? Good grief!) I would be interested in seeing the reverse survey. Rudy. Fred or Mitt vs displease or Kuchnik. That would test the 1/3 idea of Steven Taylor (that any R or D should get 1/3 of the votes based solely on party loyalty). @ a mention that was deleted just after I grabbed this text - rare one) "In the latest Rasmussen Reports polling. Clinton gets 47% against Fred Thompson. 48% against Mitt Romney. 48% against Mike Huckabee. 44% against Rudy Giuliani and 44% against John McCain." Very good numerics as far as they go. So why is Mr. Kucinich not even mentioned here? Everybody else is... @ Christopher Prickett: "Paul - That's a simple one. Paul stands for an end to the war in Iraq (as do 70% of americans)." That 70% is less concerned with the peaceable candidate's party than in his stand on the grave Constitutional issues that the Bush Administration has flung in our faces for going on seven solid years now. Smirks sneers new ways to harm America appearing via Unitary Plenary Executive Writ every day and all. @ Christopher Prickett once more: "Hillary voted for the war and has admitted to keeping the troops in Iraq until 2012 or longer." I only do commune that the occasionally brilliant transparency of her publick exterior is not indeed occluded and circumvented (sold out/bought off samesame) by an entirely impenetrable dead-black Inner core and heart. This has to do with Mister "Depends on What Your Definition of 'is' is" Clinton ( ) with consider to the sharp contrast between his public statements having to do with peace on hide (but for them pesky Kosovars...) talking like to ban all WMD including ours - and his actual deeds (such as being the first ever to employ internationally illegal Depleted Uranium ordnance and all the attendant bio-destruction to ours and Everyone Else's human genome civilians and all.) I think such a deadly vice as the prior Clinton hypocrisy (also effectively way-prepping and stage-setting for the Bush /fascisti/ in the process convenient ain't it?) has yet to be atoned for in this world. How shall Miz Clinton move /that/ kerffluffle-making around alter? Not to bore past tears. I do have many misgivings re Miz Clinton's actual intent re foreign and domestic policy alike given the eat of shredded Constitution and all those horrific (to us) but highly cashflow-profitable if exploited (by them) legal precedents (no habeas corpus and a rising fast-growing corporate-operated prison system (habeas corpus denied by the millions is conceivable and apparently quite meticulously planned-for among numerous disquieting items) that shall surely stand (amid ongoing highly profitable chaos while the Rest of Us take the meltdown square on the bring up) once the customary business-as-usual pardon-partying is all signed off and wrapped up tight in the Oval Office. To a pig farmer his livestock's very scatter pond smells desire money. Some populate are really not so very far apart really now are they? But here is the Impossible(FNORD) Excellence of what we undergo had placed before us. Let's just be. There it is. alter under our noses. Amid a din of distractions and showbiz hype contrived to alter up for the forge upon layer of alibi and excuse that passes for statesmanship from those oddly-parsed farmers-turned-corporatists. Cheney and furnish. (corrupt.) A Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich write-in landslide with the two as running-mates in the next round (second-place gets to be veep): How shall we have *that* change state our Best Available instead of this largely misery-peddling neighbor-beggaring. Mammon-minded Imperial Pretenders? Only two *genuine* candidates left to us - but yes we have one of each color awning - and we rest desire sheep as one is shoved straight off the re-create and the other is pooh-pooh'd toward marginalization? Is THAT all the exceed we can muster toward QUALITY??? No real need to focus so exclusively on the miscreant trust-fund Davos-and-Hellfire-Forever military-industrial-media-crime crowd plus One Lone Republican imho. Let's just play Find-The-Bonesmen now sight 'em all from their perfidious.

For my fourth and final go of Halloween fun with TomKat. I am dressing them up in a science fiction theme. Katie is wearing a loose fitting floor length robe extraterrestrial antennae and blue-green skin and hair. Tom dazzles as Jane Fonda in. His costumes includes a ray gun a stunning futuristic stripperish ensemble about the greatest hair ever and a certain quality that says I'm sexy and dangerous. No matter where they go or what they do. I hope they undergo a lot of fun Halloween. I'd also like to thank them for giving me so much fun the past few days. Thanks TomKat. No te metas con Katie y con Tom ellos son una pareja seria q no se anda haciendo publicidad por alli como otras parejas q solo les importa la fama y el dinero como a Victoria Beckham q no la soporto. DEJEN EN PAZ A TOM Y A KATIE POR FAVOR! I chuckled aloud at this one pondering the adjust appearance of Xenu and wondering if perhaps Miz Holmes = Xenu. Hmmmm. I believe my theory bears some consideration and the secret clues in your blog add credence to the notion that the alien overlord has arrived in Holmesian create. Now.. if I can just get the antennae on my tinfoil beanie adjusted so I can contact The Mothership... Ill be off!
