Petra in the news...

cnn.com today:


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Jordan played a key role in thwarting terrorist attacks on two hotels in the Jordanian resort of Petra that allegedly were timed to amplify the September assaults on the United States, CNN has learned.

Sources close to Jordanian intelligence said three men allegedly involved in the plot were apprehended following the interception of a phone call. The call included the phrase "big wedding," which they said was an al Qaeda code to launch an attack.

The sources said that same call invoked the so-called "bayat," or personal oath of allegiance to Osama bin Laden.

Close intelligence cooperation between the United States and Jordan dates to 1989 when the late King Hussein warned U.S. leaders about the emergence of a network in Afghanistan headed by bin Laden, sources told CNN.

Those close ties have continued under the reign of Hussein's son, King Abdullah, who ascended to the throne after his father's death in 1999.

"rsbiomedical" in the picture where you are holding the flag, how did you manage to get those silky thighs? You must be using the same shaving cream that I do.

Here is the only picture of me that I could find on my computer, and oddly enough it features my 300D. It is not the best picture, so I will try to post a better one sometime.

Here is one of me on Memorial Day Weekend in a hotel in Nanaimo, B.C. And no, I wasn't planning on doing any driving any time soon. Yes, it is a bad pic, but the 51K limit on pictures on this site limits me to this one.

Either that or the University of Washington (hence the "W" for Washington, or just WestSide...since I live in Western WA )

The explanation probably lies in all the bottles of BC Growers Hard Cider strewn around me.

What do members think the names/personalities we've come to know look like? Before the photos were posted, David C Klasse to me looked young and boyish, JCE- kind faced, smiley... , Longston-haven't had a glimpse but I imagine tall, well-built, MBenz-suave, polite etc. Funny how words build pictures. Anyone have similar impressions?

OK...I have trouble getting pictures to post on here, but I'll try it. If it works, it's a photo of me (the shaggy one--hahaha) , my 8 yr. old daughter Brittany, and my 300SD.

In case it doesn't, there's a picture of me on my site, and several of my car.

I may be wrong she may not have been on lately because it's the shopping season.
