Period news coverage of (Improvised Explosive Device) IED attacks and insurgents use of roadside bombs peppers the news weekly - this is a threat that will remain constant as the global community addresses terrorism. 'PRESSURE PLATE' by Ed Toy tells the story of those brave U.S., Coalition and Afghan forces dedicated to defeating the IED network in Southern Afghanistan. Their story is one of inspiration and dedication - as 2008-2009 mark some of the deadliest IED attacks on International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the entire war in Afghanistan. This book also shows how the U.S. and Coalition forces developed an aggressive Counter IED (CIED) campaign to defeat the IED's in Southern Afghanistan. The personnel and resources dedicated to this CIED campaign were enormous both from a financial investment and human investment as well. In the end - the CIED campaign was one of the most aggressive and innovative to date, resulting in a significant reduction of IED attacks in Regional Command -South (RC-South)that undoubtedly saved countless military and civilian lives.

One of the biggest downers perpetrated by American culture is the characterization of Labor Day weekend as the 'unofficial end of summer.' But given what has passed for cabaret entertainment-at least the shows I was able to attend--since the 'unofficial start of summer' on Memorial Day weekend, the end of summer can't come soon enough. But my dismay over the hours lost watching average shows this season was tempered a bit by the pride and joy I felt watching the June performances of three strikingly attractive and talented 30ish brunettes with powerhouse voices-- Jackie Kristel, Karen Gross and Jodi Beck, who all staged entertaining shows as spring was turning to summer.
