AIP Responds to Second DOJ Letter from Obama Campaign Demanding Donor Prosecution
"Having failed in its attempts to get our legal, factual and fully-supported ad off the air, Barack Obama's campaign now wants to put our donors in prison for exercising their right to free speech," said Ed Martin, American Issues Project's president. "These over-the-top bullying tactics are reminiscent of the kind of censorship one would see in a Stalinist dictatorship, with the only difference being that those guys generally had to wait until they were in power to throw people who disagreed with them into jail."
In addition to two letters sent to the Department of Justice asking the government to investigate American Issues Project, its officers, board of directors, and donors, the Obama campaign has been contacting stations running American Issues Project's ad in an unsuccessful attempt to compel them to pull the spot. With no success on either front, the campaign has also begun running its own ad in response. Notably, this ad fails to dispute a single fact in the American Issues Project's initial ad.
American Issues Project is a 501(c)4 organization, similar in structure to NARAL and the League of Conservation Voters, two liberal organizations that have claimed status as "qualified nonprofit corporations" for two decades. In accordance with federal law, American Issues Project only solicits and accepts contributions from individuals and not from any business corporation. The FEC also sets out specific regulations for the activities of a qualified nonprofit corporation, which American Issues Project follows.
The American Issues Project's ad began airing Thursday, August 21, and will continue through the Democratic Convention. An electronic version of the ad and full documentation of all statements made are available at American Issues Project's website: http://www.americanissuesproject.org/.

Go for the fun atmosphere of a dueling piano bar and a place to have some drinks you'll enjoy it. Expect it will be a little sticky and not super clean, that food will be mediocre...but, hey, shouldn't be looking for a dining experience here. Party a little and be happy!
Superb entertainment and a really great time! – I am new to Raleigh and moved here from Northern California and did not think I would find the kind of entertainment I was used to...needless to say, I had a blast! The dueling piano show is not only musical entertainment but comedic! They also have another little club inside, that plays some great dance music. Therefore, you have the option to sit and laugh histerically or you can go into their little club and dance the night away!
Fun times – Lots of laughs and great times. Go with a friend and participate. One of my favorite places.
Tons of Fun – I have been to Rum Runners a few times, but I had such a great time the last time I was there I decided I would write a review. I tried to make reservations but the room was booked so I couldn't. When I got there a waitress saw me and told me a table was signing there checks and would be up in a minute if I wanted the seat. They had an amazing special that night and it was a Friday...a good special on a Friday. The piano players were fun, but I found out there was a dance club attached to the bar, how did I never know about this! All and all I had a great time, I received amazing service- at both bars, and I will be back soon. I don't like that they don't have food, but I found out they let you order pizza that will deliver right to the bar.
Awesome Show, Great Service – I went to Rum Runners with some friends for a Birthday party and we had a blast. We got my friend on stage for her birthday and they sang a hilarious song to her... it was pretty naughty, but verrrry funny. Their drink specials are awesome, and they even have a dance club in the back now if you get tired of singing along to the piano show you can go dance. I'll definatly be back!
Will never be back – Rude service, bad drinks, some of the worst singers I ever heard. Bartenders seemed like they wanted to talk to themselves more than wait on customers. Piano players ignored the requests and used profanity in every song.
Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your visit to Rum Runners. We strive to make every visit a fun and unique experience. I hope you'll stop by sometime again to see all the great changes we've made and give us a chance to change your opinion!
Horrible Piano show – I have never seen a more horrible show in my life. Having frequented several dueling pianos bars, I was in town visiting some friends who brought me to Rum Runners. We left within 30 minutes. The show was horrible, the waitstaff was unfriendly and I encountered one of the worst and rudest bartenders ever.
I thought a requirement to work at one of these places was that you had to play piano. These guys never finished a single song, overused profanity and changed the lines to several songs. I didn't bother to request anything because I didn't want to waste my money.
If I lived in the area I would tell everyone I knew to stay away because this isn't worth the admission at the door, let alone the watered down drinks and the ear bleeding show.
My friends tried to tell me how good it "used" to be, but I find that hard to believe after what I saw this past weekend. I won't be back.
We're very sorry to hear about your bad experiance at Rum Runners. We always try to make every visit to Rum Runners a fun one, but sometimes that doesn't happen. I hope you'll stop by again sometime. We have a GREAT wait and bar staff that are friendly and fast. Our piano show is now one of the best around. Feel free to call or e-mail us ahead of time and I'd be happy to take care of your cover charge if you'd like to give us a second chance.
Catch the Friday Night Luau – My friends and I usually go out for dinner and drinks to celebrate each other's birthdays. We were in the mood to do something a little different, so we decided to check out Rum Runners. It was a GREAT choice! It was definitely not the 'norm' for us by any means, but we kept an open mind and really did enjoy ourselves! The music was fun. Even though it wasn't really the type of music that we would normally listen to, they played a lot of popular music that got everybody singing along. The drinks were also great. I'm often leery of ordering drinks in bars because you often get a cup full of ice, drink mixer, and a tablespoon of alcohol, but the driks were cheap and strong. That may have been part of the entertainment, because after some folks in the crowd had a few, they became quite boisterous...and entertaining.
My only complaint about this establishment is that they no longer have a food menu. On Friday nights, they serve 'luau' food, but its minimal...tortilla chips and salsa, meatballs, fruit cocktail (that is obviously straight out of the can, and ham. You can go back for more as much as you want, but really, its not that tasty...edible, but doesn't leave you wanting more. We would likely have stayed longer, but we ended up leaving to go get some food!
Awesome pianos! – This is one of the coolest piano bars I've been to. It's dueling pianos, they take requests (and play all of them). They'll get the audience singing and clapping, and they play everything from rap to country. My group and I had a blast! Drinks are good, the waitstaff is hot....but the pianos players are awesome. Especially the blonde chick and the guy who had on the Red Sox cap (go Sox!)
Horrible experience – i went to rum runners for my 21st birthday and I definitely regret that decision! The male piano player was an absolutely the rudest person i have ever encountered and he made my experience there terrible. I will admit that I was a little tipsy but I have never felt so insulted by anyone! My 12 friends and I were basically the only people there on a Sunday night and I would assume that our business would be greatly valued, but I guess I was wrong. His rude and sexiest (not in a joking manner) comments were not appreciated!

Hi again from Ireland, I've just returned for a wonderful vacation in Spain. Anyway, in today's Irish Independent (biggest selling national daily) there is an excellent letter from a reader, obviously responding to a previous letter. I'm sure you'll approve. Hopefully this will put many people in my country straight on a few matters.
The link is:
The letter reads:
Tuesday July 17 2007
SEAN Macken, with regard to your letter (July 10), where you attempted to point to the history of finding out the cause for Muslim rage - to do this we should therefore start at the beginning of the aforementioned rage to give readers a better understanding of why there is such rage and justify this rage.
In 624 AD, it was Muslim anger that raided and pillaged Arab merchants from the safe haven of Medina.
It was Muslim anger that conquered Mecca in 630 AD and the rest of the Arab Peninsula two years later.
It was Muslim rage in 636 AD that invaded and occupied Judea/Israel and the Jews, (renamed Palestine by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD so to wipe off the nation and the name Israel from the map of the world). It was Muslim anger that invaded and occupied Syria, Iraq (yes Iraq!), Egypt and the whole of North Africa, Persia and part of Central Asia. It was still this Muslim rage that invaded and occupied Spain, Portugal, Sicily and part of France between the 8th and 15th Century. Lest we forget, the USA was not yet born, Western Imperialism was not yet invented, and Israel's rebirth was just thought of in prayer.
Today, Muslim rage continues and targets the West, the East and the South, Buddhists, Indus and Animists.
Could it not be, Mr Macken, they are facing the same old Muslim rage?
In reference to your statement on the "grandfathers of present day Palestinians" (Please, can I be so bold to remind you that Palestinian was a term first invented in the 1930's) and that would have bewildered those "Palestinian grandfathers" as a large number were economic migrants from Egypt, Syria Transjordan, and Lebanon, who arrived to Occupied Judea/Israel (Palestine) to enjoy the economic development of a desolate land revived by Jewish/Israelite returnees.
The analogy to an Israeli state in Connemara is quite frankly, something that I can only describe as bizarre. If anything, both countries share similar misfortunes of occupation, Ireland 800 years, Israel 2000 years. In the Irish Famine in 1845-51, millions died and emigrated, in 134 AD the Romans ended the 1000-year-old Israel/Judea Kingdom, massacred the Jews and exiled millions.
Eire, in the last 15 years, has seen the return of some of those great, great Irish grandchildren of the famine emigrants and in the last 150 years, the exiled Jews/Israelites began the return to their ancient homeland.
Mr Macken, do you not think it is about time Israel, like Ireland, should be free of occupation and rage or do you prefer to conveniently extract substances of history and mislead readers into thinking that this Muslim rage is justified? For when dealing and debating such intricacies, the whole of the equation needs to be considered and this I feel, was not done in your letter and I'm afraid, read subjectively.

# 32. "Israel is a 'root cause' of Muslim hatred of the West"
Very not so -- It's the USA's fault.
In the September, 1990 issue of The Atlantic Monthly - Dr. Bernard Lewis wrote a classic called: 'The Roots of Muslim Rage'
-It's required reading for West Point officers.
If you are not a subscriber, the entire piece is reprinted here:
After a thousand years of having languished under the Romans, The Holy Roman, the Ottoman and finally, British empires, someone (the Jews) finally built a dynamic successful society in what they call "Palestine".
One might expect modern Palestinians to be most teed-off at their leaders, not one of whom it seems, ever had a similar vision for the region, and who instead now rail at the world in perpetual victimhood about their "stolen" birthright, and who would as obviously destroy it, supposedly for its acheivement, without ever a mere thought as to how to ever build anything.
Everyone is trying to explain Muslim rage at the West, and the US. Few, if any, recognize that these Muslims live in totalitarian nations with strictly controlled education, news, and political speech. The question is not why Muslims are mad at us, but rather why the governments of these nations have portrayed us to their subjects in such a way as to make them mad at us.The Atlantic - LewisIslamic fundamentalism has given an aim and a form to the otherwise aimless and formless resentment and anger of the Muslim masses at the forces that have devalued their traditional values and loyalties and, in the final analysis, robbed them of their beliefs, their aspirations, their dignity, and to an increasing extent even their livelihood.
And since the United States is the legitimate heir of the former European Superpower civilization and the recognized and unchallenged leader of the West, the United States has inherited the resulting grievances and become the focus for the pent-up hate and anger.
There was an interesting story at Arutz Sheva about a delgation of Indian Muslim leaders visiting Israel. The article states:
In a first-of-its-kind visit, a delegation of Indian Muslim leaders is currently on an extensive tour of Israel. The group's leader repeatedly expressed his pleasure at having his preconceptions about Israel overturned. The Muslim leaders' visit to Sderot on Monday included a first-hand lesson on Palestinian Authority rocket attacks.
Maulana Jamil Ilyasi, president of the All India Organisation of Imams and Mosques, is heading the Indian delegation. His group represents about 500,000 imams and 200 million Indian Muslims, 40% of the global Muslim population.
I hope more visits like this can be arranged with Muslim leaders from various parts of the world.
The rest of the story can be seen at http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/123448
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy." (Ps. 137: 5-7)"
"Any generation in which the Temple is not built, it is as if it had been destroyed in their times" (Yerushalmi, Yoma 1a).
I guess the Wahhabi programing hasn't hit India, what a wonderful thing to hear. Wonder how long it will last...
Though we all get painted with the rage brush, most Muslims don't live in a rage. The cartoon riots, aweful while they lasted are over. The response to the pope's comments was a meeting of reconciliation. We live with ten times worse than the cartoons on western radio and TV everyday, commentators like Michael Savage calling for our extermination with call-ins high fiving him. Yet, there are no riots over that. Rage doesn't drive movements that last for a millenium and a half. This sort of simplification of what Muslims are is generating hatred and resentment on both sides.
Irv Ruben and Earl Krugel plotted to blow up a US Representative's office and a mosque. The charge was conspiracy.
Kahane Chai is listed as a terrorist organization by the US Department of State.
So there is Jewish rage, just not as many examples of it or as many Jews.
LOL. You want to compare KACH with something like AQ or even Hamas/Moslem Brotherhood, or the Iranian Mullahs? You are truly diluted Andak.
The founder of Kach, Kahane is an angel compared to likes of Yassin and Komenei and Bin Laden [and the dozens of Imams in highest positions calling for our blood]. You have two or three incidents... and one movement that was banned because the US wanted to be "even haded" a movement that has not perpetrated mass killing, or even killing outside the handful of deranged individuals. Statistically speaking Jews do not have neither the incitement nor the "rage" espoused and carried out by Muslims daily... do you want me to post a list of terrorism perpetrated by enraged Muslims? That list may well crash the server that Israel forum currently is hosted on... It will show quite readily that, statistically, realistically, you are comparing water melons and chick peas.
How many Jewish countries (yes I know there's only one) are in the middle of a civil war? Have been invaded? Have economic sanctions against them? Have 50% + unemployment? Have had their infrastructure destroyed and are rebuilding their police force, electric grid, water supply? Have had tons of cluster bombs dropped in their fields for their children and their farmers to come across? Have 150,000 foreign troops on their soil?Statistically speaking Jews do not have neither the incitement nor the "rage" espoused and carried out by Muslims daily... do you want me to post a list of terrorism perpetrated by enraged Muslims?
The "colateral damage" method of killing civilians will never register on that list no matter how many die. The rendition method of torturing doesn't show on that list. I would suggest that the comparison may, though ending unfavorably for the Arabs, not be as freakishly one-sided as you believe or as you would have us believe.That list may well crash the server that Israel forum currently is hosted on... It will show quite readily that, statistically, realistically, you are comparing water melons and chick peas.
Secondly, I would suggest that Muslims cannot be part of the solution if we are all identified as the problem.
Indeed just one... your co-religionists would preclude anymore. But all of these things have happened to us, sans civil war, at the attempt of wiping us off the map. I also don't appreciate you implying that this is only about Iraq or indeed that Israel has anything to do with the current situation in either Iraq or really Afghanistan either. I did not imply or certainly say that I wanted to compare Europeans or Americans and Muslims just the latter and Jews, Israeli or not.How many Jewish countries (yes I know there's only one) are in the middle of a civil war? Have been invaded? Have economic sanctions against them? Have 50% + unemployment? Have had their infrastructure destroyed and are rebuilding their police force, electric grid, water supply? Have had tons of cluster bombs dropped in their fields for their children and their farmers to come across? Have 150,000 foreign troops on their soil?
And neither does the Geneva Convention recognize un-uniformed combatants as anything but spies who assume all responsibilities for all actions taken against them and their facilitators. Something the Press generally disregards and even government, like Israel do not fully enforce. All armed non uniformed Palestinians can be shot on site... and not be considered collateral damage of any sort merely abiding conventions that are established between civilized combatants. We've already established that the traditional Arabist nature of combat is non abiding with the Geneva Convention and that is only reason I mention it in retort to your "collateral damage" diversion.The "colateral damage" method of killing civilians will never register on that list no matter how many die.
Does that include all current Prison systems in the Middle East or only those run by non Muslims in part or whole?The rendition method of torturing doesn't show on that list.
Lets test it... lets attempt a statistical variance... Here are some of the criteria I propose:I would suggest that the comparison may, though ending unfavorably for the Arabs, not be as freakishly one-sided as you believe or as you would have us believe.
0. Proportion when Muslims have "raged" in response to criticism of their religion and nationalities compared to Jews.
1a. Proportion of total terrorists acts per Muslim/Jewish capita 1b. Arab-Muslim/Jewish capita (I give you Jewish over Israeli to better your odds) ; in say the last 10 years, 20 years and 50 years.
2a. Proportion of instance of publicized agitative propaganda, calling Jews/Muslim any variable sub human, whether Quranic/Tanach based or not; 2b. calling for the destruction of Muslim/Jewish polities... vis-a-vis Total Jewish Organizational/Israeli government and Muslim Organizational/Muslim run government statements about the other.
3. Proportion of total deaths by terrorism acts per Muslim/Jewish capita; in the last 10 years, 20 years and 50 years.
4. Proportion of destroyed or appropriated property, including houses of worship, by Muslim-Arab vs Israeli actions.
5. Proportion of statements to Muslim country votes in the UN GA calling for sanction and condemnation of Arab vs Israeli actions or mere sovereign existence.
The statistical variance will not take total numbers as meaningful factors (even as they are in real life (or death really)) but rather render a percentage. I'm thinking you're looking at something like high 90 percentile to near nothing (to note) on the Jewish side of a situation here Andak. "ending unfavorably for the Arabs" is quite a euphemism... I welcome you to compile and do the exercise, these statistics are not hard to gather, since there are Islamic, Arab Nationalist, Western and Israeli Leftist, and Nazi groups that will more than be happy to lend you a hand. We have our sources as well. Do you want to undertake this? How about just the first category I propose which started this exchange?
Nothing to disagree there about, and my record here happens to restate than on a regular basis.Secondly, I would suggest that Muslims cannot be part of the solution if we are all identified as the problem.

Billion Muslims live in rage because of Michael Savage? Funny. I as a JEW should be raged out of my mind given what those Muslims say about me as a person and an ethnic representative. Recently a certain Muslim leader even held a Holocaust Denial conference... Michael Savage..... peanuts.
This sort of simplification of what Muslims are is generating hatred and resentment on both sides.
Unless you openly going to scream and yell to your 300,000,000 Arab bros on what those 300,000,000 bros say about my people - your exact rage is WORSELESS. There are a lot less of us.
Mil - stands for the countless MILlions of reasons not to work.
What about the killing of accused "collaborators" or Arab honor killings or intra-Arab murders, including coups and suicide bombings? The reason I bring this up is because this rage is pointed outside, and yet much more violence is committed between Arabs than by Israel.
A little off-topic, but still central.

Folks, our troops are coming home, and not with their tails between their legs as the lefties wanted, but with heads held high:
While Americans sat down for Thanksgiving dinner deciding what they were thankful for, the Iraqi parliament Thursday passed an agreement with the U.S. that set a date certain for American withdrawal, as war critics wanted. But it was based on conditions on the ground, as the Bush administration insisted.
The conditions on the ground are that the jihadists are a spent force that lost the war as well as the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. Province after province has been returned to Iraqi control, and the young Iraqi nation appears both willing and able to defend itself.
Under the terms of the agreement, U.S. forces will withdraw from Iraqi towns and cities by June 30, 2009, and the entire country by Jan. 1, 2012. The deal could still be rejected by the Iraqi people in a referendum scheduled for July 30, a key Sunni demand to get their agreement, but by then U.S. troops will no longer be a visible presence in urban areas.
That public referendum is very significant… if they don't trust their government to keep them safe, the Iraqi people can ask us to stay. Of course, that would drive the lefties into an absolute tizzy, because we'll have been asked by the Iraqi people to stay.
But there really shouldn't be any reason for the Iraqis to feel unsafe, the Iraqi government has done a marvelous job of taking over the reins of power from Saddam and his Ba'athists.
The pact comes after a report on Iraq's progress that retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey, now an adjunct professor of International Affairs at the United States Military Academy at West Point, compiled for his colleagues.
The report concludes: "The United States is now clearly in the end game in Iraq to successfully achieve what should be our principle objectives: the withdrawal of the majority of U.S. ground combat forces . . . in the coming 36 months; leaving behind an operative civil state and effective Iraqi security forces; an Iraqi state which is not in open civil war among the Shia, the Sunnis, and the Kurds; and an Iraqi nation which is not at war with its six neighboring states."
A job well done by all our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. Welcome home, troops. You did good, no matter what Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Murtha, et al want to claim.

No one will be chosen as Big XII commish unless he is firmly in the pocket of the University of Texass.
Interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas has announced that his short reign will end on June 30th. He took over when Dan Beebe was ousted last September (as if it were Beebe's fault that a castle built of sand continued to erode).
"I've agreed to remain on until the end of June, so I'm fully confident they'll have a new commissioner to be on board the first of July, and probably earlier," Neinas said told ESPN.com yesterday. And who might that new commissioner be? We have a suggestion — Mark Womack, the executive associate commissioner of the SEC.
Long-viewed as the eventual successor to Mike Slive — whenever the SEC's current commish decides to step down, smoke more cigars and sip more Scotch on his back porch — Womack would bring a knowledge of the SEC's operation to the Big 12 and his departure would cause the Big 12 rival to have to fill a void of its own. Sun-Tzu called such a strategy "Stealing the firewood from under the pot." When an enemy is too big and bold to engage directly, you weaken him by undermining his foundation and attacking the source of his power.
No offense to Womack, but we don't view him as "the source" of the SEC's power. That said, if he left, the league's foundation would definitely suffer. Working alongside Slive, Womack has been involved in negotiating the league's mega-television contracts and he's overseen the league's budget (collecting cash from the outside and distributing it to the members inside). He has also overseen the operation of the SEC Championship Game in football as well as the men's and women's basketball tournaments. He also serves as the main go-between for the league's athletic directors.
Would Womack leave if offered a million-dollar-a-year gig from the Big 12? He's been with the SEC since 1978 and — as noted above — most people around the conference feel he will eventually be the choice to replace Slive. If given assurances that he will indeed be the commish-in-waiting, it's hard to picture him pulling up stakes to join a league that has a world of problems to go along with a world of potential. While the SEC prides itself on being an even-Steven kind of club, the Big 12 will always be dominated by Texas and Oklahoma. And when that league's shared media rights deal ends in six years, there's no telling what might happen or who might leave.
All of this might be moot anyway. Most leagues — while envying the SEC's power, success and cash — actually look down upon the Southeastern Conference. Commissioners and coaches from the Big Ten to the Big 12 have taken many shots over the years at the SEC's academic standards (which are on the rise), its NCAA scandals, and the perception that it's a win-at-all-costs league. So would people with Texas-sized egos chase after the #2 man of the SEC… a league Texas has refused to join? Not likely.
But if the Big 12 power brokers are smart, they'll give Womack a call to gauge his interest. Then again, whoever accused Big 12 leadership of being smart?

Letchworth State Park is a New York state park located 35 miles (56 km) southwest of Rochester and 60 miles (95 km) southeast of Buffalo in Livingston (towns of Leicester, Mount Morris, and Portage) and Wyoming (towns of Castile and Genesee Falls) counties. The park is roughly 17 miles (24 km) long,2 covering 14,350 acres (58 km2) of land along the Genesee River.2
Within the park, there are three large waterfalls on the Genesee River and as many as fifty waterfalls found on tributaries that flow into it; the gorge formed by the river, with rock walls rising up to 550 feet (170 m) in places and which narrow to 400 feet (120 m) across above the middle of the three falls, prompted the area's reputation as the "Grand Canyon of the East".3
The park is named after William Pryor Letchworth (1823-1910), an industrialist who in 1906 bequeathed the 1,000-acre (4 km2) estate that forms the heart of the park to New York State.2 There are park entrances near the towns of Mount Morris, Perry, Castile and Portageville, New York. A modern, well-maintained two- or three-lane road follows the west side of the gorge, allowing many scenic viewpoints for the geologic features.
The three major waterfalls — called the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls — are located in Portage Canyon, the southern section of the park. The Seneca called the land around this canyon "Seh-ga-hun-da", the "Vale of the three falls";4 the Middle Falls ("Ska-ga-dee") was believed to be so wondrous it made the sun stop at midday.2
The only trail bridging the Genesee River across Portage Canyon crosses a stone bridge just below the Lower Falls. The Middle Falls is the highest, and the Upper Falls has an active railroad trestle crossing immediately above it, providing an even higher vantage immediately above the falls.
The highest waterfall in New York State is located in the park. It is a spectacular ribbon waterfall that is located on a tributary creek a short distance east of the Inspiration Point Overlook, 0.4 mile (640 m) west of the park visitor center. Known as Inspiration Falls, it has a total drop of 350 feet (107 m). While impressive in its height, it is seasonal and often appears as only a water stain on the cliff. The falls faces to the south-southwest and has a crest that is only one foot (300 mm) wide. (215-foot (66m) Taughannock Falls, 100 miles east of Letchworth in Trumansburg is generally recognized as the highest waterfall in New York as well as in the entire Northeastern United States).
The bedrock that is exposed in the gorge is Devonian in age, mostly shales, with some layers of limestone and sandstone. The rock was laid down in an ancient inland sea, and many marine fossils can be found. The landform of the section of the Genesee River valley represented by the park is geologically very young, caused by a diversion of the river from the old valley by the last continental glacier, forcing the river to cut a new section of valley.
In 2007, Letchworth was named one of the top 100 campgrounds in the nation.5
Features and activities
The historic, restored Glen Iris Inn, Letchworth's former home located on the top of a cliff overlooking Middle Falls, offers in-season meals and overnight accommodations.2 It is open to the public for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Other features of the park include pavilions, picnic tables, a playground, hiking trails, two large swimming pools, cabins, campsites for tents, trailer sites with dumping stations, and horse-riding trails.3 The park is the present-day site of the grave of Mary Jemison.,2 who is buried on the grounds of a Seneca Council House relocated there by Letchworth and rededicated in 1872.6
Activities within the park include hiking, biking, fishing, hunting (wild turkey and deer when in season); in winter, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting and kayaking, snow tubing, and horse-drawn sleighs.3 There is also hot air ballooning, weather permitting.
William Pryor Letchworth Museum
The William Pryor Letchworth Museum was founded with the collections of the park's founder. The exhibits now focus on the natural and cultural history of the Genesee Valley, and include archaeological artifacts of the Seneca nation, and displays on Mary Jemison, early pioneers, the Genesee Valley Canal and William Pryor Letchworth.
Park history
William Letchworth first purchased the land near the Portage Falls in 1859 and began work on the Glen Iris Inn. He enlisted the services of the famous landscape artist William Webster to design winding paths and roadways, rustic bridges, glistening "lakes" and a sparkling fountain.
In 1906, Letchworth offered the Glen Iris and his 1,000 acres (4 km2) to the State of New York as a public park. Letchworth State Park was born in 1907. Letchworth made the arrangement to deter commercial businesses from damaging the fragile nature of the gorge and the surrounding woodlands.
As president of the Society, Dr. Kunz also helped with the organization and preservation of the library of William Pryor Letchworth when the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society took over the management of his estate in New York. "If suitable provision can be made for their care, Mr. Letchworth will probably add to his gift his personal library and mementos. The library embraces one of the finest, if not the finest, private collection of book on charities in the country. It contains also a good collection of local histories, books about Indians, and a miscellaneous assortment of standard literature. His mementos - personal gifts and testimonials - are extremely interesting. It is most desirable that these should be kept together and adequately preserved in a new library building, as part of the monument to the generous donor of Letchworth Park."7
Further, Dr. Kunz helped with the 1910 memorial to Mary Jemison, "The White Indian of the Genesee", who is buried at "the ancient Indian Council House of the Senecas" located on the grounds of the Letchworth park. Dr. Kunz always was fascinated by Native Americans, and contributed much to their memorials in New York.8
George F. Kunz was the president of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society of New York, and was an enthusiastic supporter of the park.910
Letchworth, having earned "life-residence" at the Glen Iris, died there on December 1, 1910.11 He was buried in nearby Buffalo, NY at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
Flood of 1972
One of the greatest natural disasters in Genesee Valley history took place in June 1972. Hurricane Agnes came ashore on the Florida Panhandle on June 19, and moved north through Georgia and the Carolinas. The hurricane then went out to sea, recharged its energy and hit the Southern Tier of New York State on June 22.
Although Agnes was only a category 1 hurricane, it soon stalled over North Central Pennsylvania. Caught up in a slow moving low pressure system, the storm drifted slowly northeastward into New York State. The area, having already been soaked by showers the week before, could not absorb the six to twelve inch (305 mm) rainfall that fell over Pennsylvania and New York. Known locally as "The Flood of '72", the event would have a tremendous impact on Western New York and Letchworth Park.
Although the Genesee River and Letchworth Park was not hit as hard as the Susquehanna Valley and other areas, the impact of the Flood would be felt in the Park for many years. The Lower Falls Bridge and trail to Sugar Loaf did not officially reopen for several years. To this day, visitors can still see some of the natural "scars" left by the flood waters over 40 years ago.
Video footage of the devastation can be viewed upon request at the Willim Pryor Letchworth Museum, located near the Glen Iris Inn. There is also a path that leads behind the Museum and up to the Council Grounds and Mary Jemison's grave site.
Old Portage Bridge Fire
The Erie Railroad Company built a wooden trestle bridge over the Genesee River just above the Upper Falls. Construction started on July 1, 1851 and opened August 16, 1852. At the time, it was the longest and tallest wooden bridge in the world.12
In the early morning hours of Thursday, May 6, 1875, the great wooden railroad bridge was destroyed in a tremendous fire. The bridge was a total loss, leaving only the concrete bridge abutments.13
Current Portage Bridge
Immediately after the Portage Bridge fire, officials of the Erie Railroad Company moved quickly to replace the wooden bridge with an iron and steel design. Construction began June 8, 1875 and opened for traffic July 31, 1875. The bridge is 820 feet (250 m) long and 240 feet (73 m) high.14 It is still in use today.
Popular local rumor contends that the Portage Bridge was used for a famous scene in the 1986 movie Stand By Me. In reality, the bridge used in the movie is the Lake Britton Bridge in McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park near Redding, California.15
New Portage Bridge
On November 29, 2011, Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) announced plans to demolish the Portage River bridge and build a new one approximately 75 feet (23 m) south of the current Portage Bridge. NS had offered the old bridge to the State of New York, but the State declined it.16
As of April 2014, the current status of the new bridge is still in the development stages. However, an arched design has been approved and construction of the new bridge is expected to begin in the Autumn of 2014. Completion is estimated for Spring of 2016.17
Mt. Morris Dam
Found at the North end of the park, the construction of the Mount Morris Dam was begun in 1948 by the US Army Corps of Engineers under the Flood Control Act of 1944. The dam was completed in 1954. The Genesee River became wider and deeper upstream for a ways as a result, but areas downstream were spared yearly flooding which destroyed valuable farmland.
The Mt. Morris Dam is the largest flood control device of its kind (concrete gravity) east of the Mississippi River. It is 1,028 feet (313 m) in length and rises 230 feet (70 m) from the riverbed.18 The dam proved its worth during the Flood of 1972, saving thousands of acres of farmland from flooding.

A Message From Down Under.
6th November 2011
Today has been a thoroughly brilliant day. It started with lunch at the famous Bondi Beach at a restaurant called Icebergs, which had the most beautiful view of the beach and the ocean with family. Then it was off to the 'Wildlife Sydney', where I met with the local wildlife. Not only did I get to stroke the Koalas, I also was able to go into an enclosure and get up close to new born Koalas as well as seeing Kangaroos and a huge 40 year old crocodile.It was wonderful and a real dream of mine to see Koala bears up close.
This evening, I met with my team in Australia, at a wonderful restaurant overlooking the Sydney Harbour bridge and the Opera House where they presented me with two discs, it was hard to comprehend but within two days of the album 'Someone To Watch Over Me' being launched in Australia, it has already gone platinum. I met with Dennis, the head of Sony Australia and his wonderful team who have made me feel so welcome in this fantastic country. I really am having the time of my life and never thought I'd see Australia in my lifetime, so this really is a dream come true. There is so much to see and do in Sydney that I will send another update tomorrow once I have met with some of my Australian fans.

Menominee chiefs refuse to give up more land in 1832.
Speeches of Menominee chiefs at a council in Green Bay, Oct. 22, 1832.
In 1821 a delegation of New York Indians, forced to leave their lands in the East, had met with the Menominee and Ho-Chunk to negotiate for lands in Wisconsin. After a decade of conflict and misunderstanding, the U.S. government attempted to arbitrate between the New York Indians and the Menominee. Joshua Boyer took these minutes at a council held in the autumn of 1832 to persuade the Menominee and Stockbridge Indians to come to terms. In the speeches recorded here, Menominee chief Grizzly Bear and five other leaders explain why the Menominee would not give away any more land to the New York Indians. The speeches of both the white officials and the Menominee leaders reveal much about their motives, priorities, and styles of argument. In the end, the Menominee and the New York tribes agreed to exchange lands on opposite sides of the Fox River. For more background, consult the Dictionary of Wisconsin History at left and the tribal home pages linked elsewhere at Turning Points.

Unusual Musical Instruments
You mean this device plays music, too?
This article will cover a few bizarre musical instruments, an oddities used by musicians to convey that special feeling or a melody. Some of the uniquely crafted items may cost a fortune, others are very simple and can be easily assembled from parts found in your kitchen. All of them have loads of character, and that special sound that no other instrument can make.
"The madness" started in 1619 with the "Temple of Music" acoustic experiments:
(image credit: Bibli Odyssey)
I am going to devote a special post to vintage music machines, as they are endlessly fascinating to my inner "music geek". Fast-forward to the modern times:
Thumb Pianos, or Kalimbas
Robert Patterson Collier makes custom and very aesthetically pleasing miniature instruments. There are many varieties on display in his Flickr set and, with his permission, here are a few that we particularly like:
Kalimba made from lamp parts and an ashtray:
The Ultimate Portable Thumb Piano? "A Camera Piano" -
Kalimba fitted inside a bellows camera case:
"The thumb piano, known as a kalimba or mbira and by many other names, is a lamellaphone that uses plucked prongs called tongues, keys or tines to generate acoustic vibrations."
Another Collier's set shows easy-to-make "Screw Lamellaphone" in detail and this Instructables article describes the DIY process:
Zither Kalimba:
Robert writes: "The sound produced is idiosyncratic to each instrument, often colored by creaks, buzzing, humming, croaking, twittering, hyper-resonance and other strange artifacts... While many of the instruments are wired with a piezo transducer and some even have their own built-in amplifier or digital recorder, the manner in which the sound is captured and the signal processed offers great potential for exploration."
On his Flickr set page are many links to the videos, marrying the lamellaphone's "ambient sounds" with minimalist abstract imagery. Some are very relaxing, check them out.
On the other end of piano scale
High Fashion... Fluid Forms... Consider this futuristic "Pegasus" piano made by the German firm Schimmel and designed by legendary Luigi Colani himself:
...or a classic upright piano nicely complementing your Porsche (or your SonicAir toothbrush)
We also like this transparent concert piano idea:
Another model "Otmar Alt" that even your kid would love:
Here is a new development: scientist say that it's best to learn piano while playing underwater ;)
or if you set it on fire, you might get a really scorching solo out of it:
(image credit: Japan Today)
Jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita plays a burning piano on the beach in Shiga, Japan. Yamashita did the same thing once before in 1973; he would do this every day, given an endless piano supply.
The Ondes Martenot - very strange French keyboard with a plaintive spacey sound
Definitely better sounding than most analog synthesizers, this highly refined instrument has been invented in 1928 by a French radio enthusiast Maurice Martenot. The pure "space bliss" sounds are made by pressing the sensitive button with your left hand (modulating the waves) and stretching the special string assembly with your right hand.
(image credit: Keyboardmuseum)
Here is a demonstration of the technique:
Watch Radiohead perform on the Ondes Martenot the techno despair sounds that this instrument was plainly designed to produce. "The Martenot Waves" keyboard was also used in the "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Mad Max" soundtracks.
Guitar Solos with Bite
Bill Stahl Photography site has a groovy picture of this bass guitar: (unfortunately there is little information on where to order this thing)
From this monumental compendium of curious instruments (thanks to Barry Wood) come a few guitars that may cause some head-scratching:
Split-Level Doubleneck from China (quite ergonomic, we might add)-
Spanish coolness -
Hindu Doubleneck (would come handy to have goddess-like four hands to play it, they say) -
Some gorgeous acoustic guitars:
Delmundo -
Zemaitis engraved guitar:
Weirdomatic has collected more examples of bizarre bass guitars. They look like a piece of art and play like a Gibson guitar. Here is a couple of our favorites:
This one is made from "Ouija" board, apparently for communicating with the "Grateful Dead":
Assault Bass, made by The Armando Custom Case company:
(order it from here - but just don't take it thru the airport security checkpoint!)
For a True Audio Gourmet: Drums Made From Cheese!
If you consider yourself a sophisticated partaker of sublime sounds... sort of like a gentleman shown here:
(original unknown)
then you will appreciate the yummy sounds produced by a set of drums MADE FROM CHEESE.
(image credit: Quixoticals.com)
Seen at Quixoticals.com, they were created by Dutch artist Walter Willems for the Mocca Contemporary Art exhibition. The cheese must be really aged to make a thumping sound, plus the whole thing may be used to feed the starving artist for a week, if paid gigs would dry up. See it in action in this video.
Finally a truly EPIC instrument
Bored of the tinny sounds your little piano or guitar makes? In the mood for something as big and mysterious as the ocean itself? Come to Zadar, Croatia, and listen to "The Sea Organ". Giant 70 meters long instrument has 35 pipes and resonating underwater cavity - they interact with tides and wind to produce the deep, entirely natural sounds.
Designed by award-winning architect Nikola Basic and built in 2005, this project is not only extremely popular with tourist, but also a welcome redeeming feature for what was once an ugly concrete-enclosed waterfront.
Such nature-affected instruments are often called "aerophones", and at any given moment listeners can hear at least five pipes played in harmony by the waves and wind movements. This page has a sample of "sea Organ" sounds.
The air holes "breathe in" the wind along the shore, and the pipes hidden deep underwater make lower sounds.

Aeolian Wind Harp is the only other instrument comparable in its aural majesty to the "Sea Organ" - a grand Aeolian harp is very rare instrument, first introduced ages ago in Ancient Greece. A perfect choice for the "Myst/ Riven" game sound effects.
I leave you with a link that just might totally swallow you up. This page is the best compilation of bizarre instruments to my knowledge, with a sound sample from each of them! Prepare to spend a while there.
Hope you enjoyed this little tour of instruments we found since our last publication on this theme. Hats off to these musicians who master the art of playing such oddities. It takes a certain panache and loads of determination to learn to play an unusual instrument. As for me, I only play normal-looking keyboards. "Sometimes I also play the fool", like John Lennon used to say.

I once, about 4000 yrs ago when in eighth grade made a thumb piano. I inserted straightened hairpins into the separated layers of my plywood desk top. Only thing I ever got away with in school. Drove Sr. Mary to distraction.

Beautiful article, thank you.
- Gabriel said...
Great blog, I'm enjoying it a lot!
For unusual instruments, you should check the website of Argentina's Les Luthiers. It's all in Spanish, but you will get to see each instrument and even listen to them.
These guys are absolutely amazing, they can compose and play anthing from classical to merengue to rap to military marches, etc.
Sometimes, just sometimes, they use 'normal' musical instruments... :-)

Thank you Gabriel - will go into the next article.

Dude, that Schimmel Grand is the coolest Piano I have ever seen. I wonder why we havent seen Elton John or Billy Joel playing on somehting like that.
- mozey said...
How about the earlier prototype of guitarhero?

Nice...but not really unusal instruments. A piano on fire is still a piano... Here is an unsual instrument created by "That 1 guy"
The dude also plays a boot and a saw...

Ever heard about a the Kelstone? Should be somewhere in this list, methinks.

that really weird. Fun to look through though, for sure.

WHY would you put a Steinway in the water! AHH! :P
I just wonder how some of these actually sound. Since that is what an instrument is suppose to do... make sound. I have a feeling that some of these would sound horrible. Cool designs tho...
- Lois said...
You're right, that musical instrument site does occupy a lot of one's time! I never realized there were so many different instruments in the world. Have you seen the Ringing Singing Tree?

Thank you Gabriel for photo.

The calliope, or steam organ, should be well included here as well.
- Paulie said...
That first pic looks like some sort of elaborate torture machine.
That sea organ blew my mind. I'd love to go there and listen to it in person.
I have a friend that knows how to play harp, Cate Von Smith-Bauder, and I'm always begging her to play me some songs whenever we meet. I find that instrument very soothing and it helps me relax.
- GuitarBoy said...
Wow, those futuristic pianos are really cool. And the sea organ. I've been to Croatia before and next time I'm there I've got to see this in person.

Huh. And I thought my hurdy-gurdy was strange.

Very interesting and informative blog.
I have just invented a new instrument called the Saxinet which I thought you and your readers might be interested in. The Saxinet combines elements of chalumeau, clarinet, recorder and saxophone. The Saxinet is only 13.5" or 15" long, so sou can take the Saxinet anywhere. I believe that it could also become an important tool in music education.
Please have a look at my website or go directly to www.Saxinet.com . I'd be very happy to discuss this further with you or answer any questions you might have.
All the best,
Duncan Gillis

Donna Hartson: Michigan woman dies while diving off Key Largo, Florida
Authorities say a Michigan woman died while diving off Key Largo.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office reports that 64-year-old Donna Hartson, her husband and six others were diving off a boat on the Benwood Reef Tuesday afternoon.
The vessel's captain told deputies the divers had been in the water about 40 minutes when Hartson surfaced and signaled for help. By the time the captain got to her, Hartson was unresponsive. The captain and others pulled Hartson onto the boat, began CPR and called the Coast Guard.
The boat returned to shore, where deputies and paramedics were waiting. Hartson was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
An autopsy will determine the cause of death.

how old is the pump? sounds like the pump is worn out. I would not bother throwing money and time (what is your time worth) trying to rig something up knowing the pump is going bad or something else is wrong.At the normal 40 to 60 psi setting the pressure drops rapidly to 40 psi and will only deliver about 3 gpm and the pump runs constantly untill the faucet is closed.
Did you check your well-troll tank is it water logged?

Fishing in Colorado means opportunity and a chance to catch some 35 species of both warm- and cold-water fish. You can fish for the famed rainbow trout in a cool Rocky Mountain stream or troll for walleye on a sunny plains reservoir. And Colorado offers everything in between, too.
here are 6,000 miles of streams and more than 2,000 lakes and reservoirs to choose from. Colorado's 168 miles of Gold Medal streams provide outstanding angling opportunities for large trout. These waters are managed to ensure populations of big fish.
There is good news for accomplished Colorado anglers who are looking for a little recognition. Colorado Parks and Wildlife recognizes licensed anglers who catch exceptionally large fish through two separate programs.

Rashad Johnson making mark for Cardinals
But that's exactly what Arizona Cardinals fourth-year pro Rashad Johnson, a reserve, is doing.
Johnson had the biggest play of the game in the Cardinals' 38-10 win over the Detroit Lions Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium. Right before halftime, Johnson intercepted a Matthew Stafford pass and returned it 53 yards for a touchdown, extending Arizona's lead to 21-7 and effectively taking the wind out of the sails of the Lions.
"Yeah, when I caught it, I pretty much knew I would score or not go back to the sidelines because I'm sure my buddies wouldn't let me get by if I was tackled one-one-one with the quarterback," Johnson told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Monday.
Johnson is seeing increased playing time at safety. In fact, the former Alabama standout played in a season-high 43 defensive snaps (56%) against the Lions. Johnson believes that the increased time is accelerating his development.
"This game is mental, of course, but it's also confidence," he said. "Every play that you play and every snap that you get only helps to get you more confident and what to expect in how the flow of the game goes."
Johnson's confidence is showing, as even in a limited role, he's been able to deliver several impact plays. In Week 10 against Atlanta, Johnson intercepted Matt Ryan's first pass of the game and returned it to the Falcons' 9-yard line. The play set up the Cardinals' first touchdown of the game.
He's also been a big contributor on special teams. Johnson has run the ball on two fake punts this season, picking up first downs each time and a total of 64 yards in the process. Johnson's 40-yarder against the Jets is the Cardinals' second-longest run from scrimmage this season. Despite his prowess with the ball in his hands, Johnson said he has no designs on trying to be an occasional two-way player like his teammate, cornerback Patrick Peterson.
"I definitely enjoy the opportunity to run the fake punts and the interception returns, but playing on the offensive side of the ball, you definitely have to be a special guy and Patrick's just one of those special guys that can do both," Johnson said. "For myself, getting the chances I get on punt and the opportunity to catch interceptions is what I should definitely stick to and let Patrick and those other guys who are really special do that."

Fri-Sat: 9am-2:30am, Sun-Thu: 9am-1am
Neighborhoods: Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Program, Foster - Powell
We go there all the time! – We moved to the area about 6 months ago and go to "The Bucket" (as we call it) more then any other place around. We started going during the summer. They have an awesome back patio that has palm trees and other tropical plants. Some night they had live music.
The food is good. I would recommend the Nacho's, huge enough for two people or more.
The service is a little slow, but very nice.
great bar food and perpetually friendly service – great burgers...charbroiled...not fried. perfect fries (seasoned and garlic are both delicious). great blackened chicken burger too. kind of a weird location (82nd and powell) for such tasty food. prices are fair and service is always really nice. they also have a nice patio (kind of like holman's, but without the cement tree trunk) with high enough walls that you can forget you're on 82nd and powell.

BOISE -- Balloons stayed grounded at Ann Morrison Park Thursday morning because of strong winds that would have made landing dangerous.
Spirit of Boise organizers made the call shortly after 7 a.m. They said this is the first time in the event's history that launches have been canceled two days in a row.
Pilot Jim Desch and his crew are visiting Boise from Salem, Oregon. He told us although they're disappointed they haven't been able to take to the sky, he's still optimistic they'll get off the ground Friday. He can't remember ever attending an event where weather has prevented launches two days in a row.
"Very uncommon. In Boise, I understand it's never happened," said Desch.
Despite canceling the launch, pilots were able to inflate their balloons and offer some tethered rides. That means the balloon is still tied to the ground, but it can lift off several feet in the air.
"The hardest thing to describe is a balloon flight," said Desch. "It's a misnomer to call it flying. You don't really fly, you float."
The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic continues through Sunday.

The way she masked her pain with makeup captured the hearts of millions.
"It's really cool; they like me and think I am inspiring," she once said.
13 year old Talia Castellano, from Florida, created YouTube tutorial videos while battling one of the most aggressive forms of cancer: neuroblastoma, a cancer that forms in the nerve tissue.
Last summer, she was also diagnosed with leukemia, and her 6 year cancer fight ended Tuesday morning.
"I was heartbroken. I had a little hope that she'd pull through, says Zenaida Cruz.

She's followed Talia's journey for the last two years.
"I usually look for beauty things on YouTube....and watched her tutorials," says Cruz.
A week before Talia died, she posted on Facebook 76 things she wanted to cross off her bucket list.
"I automatically thought I had to do one that wasn't hard; just something she wanted," says Cruz.
So Cruz picked number 25: cover a car in sticky notes.
With her family's help, and 45 minutes later, her parents' SUV was covered with 4,000 post its.
"I couldn't believe we actually accomplished it. But it was went pretty fast thinking what it was for," says Cruz.
Tonight, those close to Talia's are celebrating her life, and legacy.
"She wanted to help other kids. She wanted to spread the word that shed those wigs and put on your eye makeup," says Terry Jones of Base Camp.
While millions of supporters including Cruz remember the makeup guru and honorary cover girl.
"Always keep your head up. Accomplish all your goals no matter what the obstacles are," says Cruz.
Talia Castellano, inspiring so many to dream big despite the difficulties.
