Egyptian Cotton
Made in USA
The Wendy Anne Egyptian Cotton Moses Basket in Baby Blue is accented with a delicate white herringbone and includes a soft bumper along the top of the basket. The Moses Basket is hand woven of maize (corn) material and includes a retractable canopy to protect baby from drafts or sun. With soft and snuggly fabrics, this Moses Basket is a portable bed that is perfect for any new parent or caregiver to keep baby resting comfortably close by.
Egyptian grown cotton is a more continuous fiber & therefore smaller in diameter, yet stronger than other cottons. Smaller yarn means that more threads per square inch can be use to create a stronger fabric which is lightweight and breathes well. Egyptian Cotton also produces less lint and therefore will not pill after repeated washings as may other cotton fibers. If cared for properly, Egyptian produced cotton fabric used for creating bedding products can last for decades.
Each Wendy Anne Egyptian Cotton Moses Basket includes a protective basket cover, lined canopy, 9" x 13" pillow, 21" x 28" comforter, two matching fitted sheets & a matching 30" x 40" receiving blanket with flannel backing.

Pictures really do not do justice to the new Bethpage High School turffield, home of the Golden Eagles. " You gotta ' see it to believe it!" On the day of its first football game of the season, Bethpage High School also officially celebrated the opening of its new athletic complex, thanks to a community development grant from, the Town of Oyster Bay.

When not being played on by Bethpage student athletes, it will serve the community and be used by PAL teams and other organizations. The event included remarks from Bethpage School District Superintendent of Schools Mr. Terrence Clark, Director of Physical Education, Health, and Ath' Mr. John Franchi, Board of Education President Mr. Thomas Fros ^ and Former Superintendent Dr. Richard Marsh, who carried out much oi'thc groundwoi k for thi initiative prior to his retirement.

These Haunted Hearts: A Regency Ghost Story
BOOK BLURB: On one fateful wedding day at Marston Hall in 1818, four linked destinies hover in the balance.
Josiah Aston, Earl of Stansfield, wakes to discover he's seventy years dead and he alone can free his beloved wife Isabella's tormented soul. But first he must convince her to trust him against all the evidence…
Lady Isabella Verney, beautiful and tempestuous, married the man of her dreams, only to die violently on her wedding day. Every clue points to Josiah as the murderer…
Is true love strong enough to defeat ancient malevolence forever?
Miles Hartley, Viscount Kendall, is society's ideal catch, but what does that matter if he can't convince Calista Aston that he loves her? When an age-old curse strikes, only by proving himself worthy of her faith can he save their happiness…
Lady Calista Aston, noted bluestocking, fears she loves Miles Hartley not wisely, but too well. On her wedding day, her doubts place her at evil's mercy. When death and disaster loom, is it courage or mad folly to believe that Miles loves her in spite of all her faults?
On one fateful wedding day at Marston Hall in 1818, will the lovers emerge triumphant or will darkness conquer all?
The Chinese Bedroom, Marston Hall, Norfolk, May 1818
Calista watched Miles at the window. The light limned him, turned him into a being from another world. The magnificent sight made the breath catch in her throat. He wore a loose white shirt and breeches. She'd never been so aware of his height or the lean strength of his body.
He turned and at last she saw the smile that tilted his mouth. His eyes focused on her and the smile faded, replaced by an expression that looked like awe. He tautened into stillness as he surveyed her from her loosened hair to her bare toes peeping beneath the white hem of her simple night rail.
The moonlight was so bright, she saw his Adam's apple bob when he swallowed. She could almost imagine that he found her as breathtaking as she found him. His expression smoothed the sharpness from her uncertainty. The clamorous babble of thoughts in her head quietened to a low hum of need.
"You're undressed," he said huskily.
It seemed foolish to blush when they both knew she was in this room to offer herself to him, but heat flushed her cheeks. "I wasn't sure what to wear."
His joyous smile made her toes curl against the Turkish rug at her feet. "Or not, as the case may be."
"Or not."
She waited in an agony of pleasurable suspense for him to seize her, ravish her into delight so that she had no chance to remember the dictates of propriety. But he approached slowly, as though afraid if he moved too abruptly, she might vanish. By the time he stopped in front of her, she trembled with apprehension and desire. Her body felt too small a vessel to contain the storm of emotions raging inside her.
He reached out to smooth her hair away from her face. His touch always turned her knees to custard. Now, when the bed and all it portended filled the shadows behind him, the glance of his hand set her burning. If such a seemingly innocent touch had this effect, she'd most likely combust into ashes before they were done tonight.
Calista bit her lip and stood in shaking stillness as he trailed his hand across her neck and shoulders. His touch felt like a discovery rather than a seduction. Although of course she was seduced. Her heart thundered and her breasts tightened against the thin lawn of her nightdress.
"Beautiful," he whispered, running his hand down her side then up again.
A tremulous sigh escaped her. This tender wooing lured her deeper and deeper into the turbulent waters of desire. She should move, speak, do something to encourage him. But his touch was so delicious, she found herself unable to do anything beyond accept this worship. His scent was spicy, clean. Familiar, yet with a musky tinge that awakened her senses.
Through the haze of pleasure enveloping her, she managed to send up a silent prayer. That the reverence she read in his face would last. That he'd still love her after he'd taken her to bed. That he'd look at her like this in the morning when she stepped inside the Marston parish church to pledge herself to him for the rest of her life.
REVIEW: This is a short but sweet and very suspenseful story of two couples fighting for their love.
I was spellbound by the suspense and read the story in one sitting. Its Gothic feel gave me goose bumps!
My heart went out to both couples as they were fighting this curse.
Josiah Aston, Earl of Stansfield can't remember how he died, but one thing he does remember is how much he loves Lady Isabella Verney, his bride…
Lady Calista Aston is sure of her love for Miles Hartley, Viscount Kendall, her future husband, but she's full of doubts about his feelings for her. She somehow feels unworthy of his love and believes he would be better off without her…
I highly recommend this tension and suspense filled gem. You'll be hooked from the first page to the last. Promise!

I like doing competative terrain placment then use the battle builder for objectives.

I agree, we used the battlebuilder more than the scenarios. The tournament battlebuilder is a little more fun. We really had alot of fun with the 3 player scenarios from Zverograd book. In particular the At All Costs scenario we call the meat grinder.
Without Signature
Secret Objective, hands down. Makes the game more interesting, and turns it into plotting and anxiety rather than a simple slug-fest. Try it.
Without Signature
I prefer the battle builder as well. I think it is actually one of the many great selling points for the game.
You can try to tailor lists to the strengths of some of the various battle builder scenarios.
Without Signature
The amazing thing with the Battle Builder is that the proper combination can equalize any two armies.
A little off-topic but do you think that the Battle Builder can be used with Dust Tactics as well?
Without Signature
Not without dramatically and massively increasing the amount of terrain in Tactics. That lack of terrain makes it the meat-grinder that is Tactics. If you put in enough terrain to actually have survivability, the game doesn't work the same way.
(Which is why I prefer Warfare; Tactics is written by French idiots.)

Philadelphia Sikh Society Reacts to Wisconsin Shooting
After a deadly shooting at a Wisconsin Sikh Temple Sunday morning, the greater Philadelphia Sikh community calls for more gun control and cultural understanding.
This weekend, over 2,000 members of the Sikh community from the Philadelphia area and beyond came to Monsignor Bonner High School in Drexel Hill to participate in the Philadelphia Sikh Society's (PSS) 12th annual Sikh Games of Philadelphia.
According to Narinder Singh, secretary of the PSS, which is located in Millbourne, Delaware County, the festive two-day event draws members of the Sikh community from as far away as New York and Maryland. The Aug. 5 event at Bonner had participants of all ages playing volleyball, soccer, wrestling, races and the traditional "Kabbaddee," a tag-game similar to Jailbreak.
"Our reason is to memorialize the Sikh martyrs," Dharam Singh Khalsa, a PSS founding member, said.
He explained that the annual sporting event was to remember those Sikh that were persecuted and died for their faith. According to Khalsa, the first Sikh martyr died in the early 17th century in India, and hundreds of thousands of the faithful have followed.
While the hundreds of participants and spectators were wildly cheering and enjoying the event by the late afternoon, it was apparent that this year's Sikh gathering had taken on an unexpected, deeper meaning.
"We made the announcement this morning," Khalsa said. "Everybody was shocked. Everybody said it was bad news."
Seven Killed in Wisconsin Sikh Temple Shooting
Khalsa was referring to a shooting that occurred earlier in the morning at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, where seven people are confirmed dead after a gunman opened fire during the temple's morning religious service.
Among those dead is the alleged gunman, who was reportedly killed after an exchange of gunfire with local police.
"It was horrible news that has happened," Khalsa said. "We condemn this."
According to Khalsa, the PSS, the Sikh religion and its international community seek only peace.
"I want to tell the people, we are a peace-loving people," Khalsa said. "We want to live together. We respect all religions, we must have respect for everybody."
A Demand for Preventive Measures
The reasons behind the deadly shooting Sunday morning have not yet been reported, but several PSS leaders and members say that the Sikh community across the nation has become familiar with increasing forms of violence and intimidation since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
"I think it was a hate-crime," one PSS member, a professor of physics at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, said. "It was very sad when I heard it. It was out of ignorance and intolerance."
"Most Americans are very nice," he added.
The PSS vice president, Harvinder Kauer Kocher, agrees.
"This is my opinion: It is mistaken identity," she said.
According to Kocher, since 9/11, she has noticed reports of acts of violence, intimidation, and in some cases, murder of members of the Sikh community.
"Whoever is wearing a turban in America is 99 percent Sikh," Kocher said. "Not Muslim."
Since the attacks, she said, the PSS has attempted to gain more exposure for understanding and welcoming for the Sikh community in the Philadelphia area and throughout the United States.
Locally, such measures have included participation in the annual Philadelphia Interfaith Walk for Peace and Reconciliation, which last took place April 29.
However, Kocher said, more needs to be done by the government and media.
"We are a very small community," Kocher said. "We need the government's help, and talk on [television] about the suffering."
She suggested that the United States government should have increased gun control laws, and that the media should produce more coverage on the Sikh community to increase understanding.
"Why do we have to have a tragedy happen to get good from it?" Kocher said. "And, by good, I mean the media letting people see that we are Sikhs."
She added that the deaths in Wisconsin could happen anywhere to anyone, not just to faith-based organizations such as the Sikhs, citing Columbine and the July 20 shootings at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater. It is for that reason, she said, government and media need to act to curb such violence.
"They are all very important people," Kocher said. "Universal brotherhood is what we say in prayer every day."
A Sikh Grassroots Goodwill Campaign in the Works
According to Khalsa, the PSS, which is based in Upper Darby, will attempt to gain an audience with the township this week. He said the organization hopes to start a partnership with the township for a grassroots campaign that would ultimately achieve the goals described by Kocher.
According to a Philly.com article, the mayor of Millbourne Borough, Tom Kramer, has also spoken with members of the Sikh community, which includes Gurbaksh Basra, a member of the Borough Council. In the article, Kramer said that the PSS and its temple haven't experienced any vandalism or other concerns in the thriving Sikh community.
The report further states that Upper Darby police are continuing to monitor the local Sikh temple.
"We believe in the Constitution," Khalsa, a 15-year U.S. citizen, said. "We will support whatever the government will be able to do to stop these crimes."
"We have more freedom here than in India," Khalsa said.
At about 6 p.m., a sudden and violent storm disrupted the PSS sporting event.
Hundreds of people ran for shelter in their nearby vehicles, while the majority were left stranded underneath, and fighting to hold down, large canvas tents.
Some were frightened by the unexpected strong gusts of wind and piercing rain. All stood huddled en masse, bearing a look of determination that would soon prove to outlast the raging storm before them.

Oops someone might want to read past these headlines. Violence seems to follow this cult. Maybe someone should read the history of the Sikh cult in India / Pakistan. I'll let their current beliefs and their deep history of blood-letting speak for itself.

There's no reason to call their religion a "cult" other than to make yourself come across as a racially- & culturally-insensitive neanderthal who knows little else outside of his own beliefs. Which, if that's actually true -- great job! -- but if it's not then you may just want to consider that not all religions other than your own are cults. It's odd how the people who call other religions cults are the ones who act most like the followers of one.
12:57 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
All religions are cults in one way or another. My opinion and I'm entitled to it.
12:04 am on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Sue and Rich, I'm not a fan of religion but I'm a fervent advocate of most of their beliefs. One of the members of the Sikh community was on CNN tonight and he had two things, one that I've never heard in response to such a tragedy that affected somebody personally. First of all, he said that if the person who had killed six of his community had known that he and his community believe in brotherhood of humanity, the attacker would not have done what he did. Obviously, that would not have made any difference, since the attacker didn't know much more about the people he was killing than that they wore turbans and had beards. His other remarks were in response to the statement from the killer's family expressing their regrets. He said he felt bad for the killer's death: "The loss of a life is the loss of a life." Draw your own conclusions.
5:23 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
I actually looked it up in Wiki and based on the info the Sikh's are basically the complete opposite of what you say. Seems a very humble and virtuous faith believes in the brotherhood of humanity.

Stricter gun laws will NOT do anything except let outlaws and criminals have guns (and Government, we'll label them with criminals) IT IS A KNOWN FACT, Places that have strict gun laws have a higher murder rates and places that have fewer restrictions and people with more guns have a much lower crime/murder rate..... You don't believe it, look it up! Do your research before you open your mouth....

I dunno, StGabes, South Africa has more lax gun control laws than the US, but the highest rate of gun homicides per capita in the world. Columbia, the #2 highest gun violence country, has a federal guarantee for private ownership of guns. With the current laws we have in place, the US is #7 on the list of annual per-capita gun homicides. Singapore's gun laws are more strict than the US, and they have VASTLY lower per capita gun homicides. Here's some resources, but, in general, stricter gun control dramatically reduces per capita gun violence - any study you are reading that says otherwise is likely using total numbers, which isn't a terribly representative measurement - pro-gun Switzerland is smaller than NYC and has one of the best educational systems in the world, AND we have triple their poverty rate, so it's hardly a comparable example.
1:56 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
Sorry StGabes. Looked it up and you're wrong. Tighter gun control laws correlates with fewer deaths from gun related violence (see #5).

@ Wynnewoodie - How is that gun control working in Chicago?
Here are some real facts: http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcassaul.html
Morgan King
5:23 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
A) I'm pretty sure this discussion is about more than just assault rifles, no?
B) Chicago's handgun laws are completely ineffective without Federal support to stop the guns getting to IL in the first place, which has been blocked at every attempt for decades. You can't really condemn a policy if you never give it a chance to work.
5:26 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Look at the homicide rates in NYC before passing strict gun control laws and after and tell me what you find.

Once again, there is yet more gun violence in the US and more name calling and more finger pointing. Yes I understand the second amendment. And more people were killed this weekend because....? Please, someone explain to me the need for guns in our society. I understand sport and hunting weapons, but hand guns and assault weapons? I submit this as food for thought. http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/07/if-guns-were-as-regulated-as-cars/
7:13 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
"Chicago's handgun laws are completely ineffective without Federal support"
Morgan, do you recall Fast and Furious? A government run program that put guns into the hands of Mexican drug dealers? What was the result, a US Border Patrol agent was killed with one of those weapons, and who is being held accountable? That's right, no one! So if all the guns are taken away,and only the drug dealers and criminals have them, how exactly do you intend to defend yourself when they decide to break into your house? I know, you'll call 911 and hope that the police arrive in time to save you and and your family. The fact is criminals will always have guns. So trying to limit law abiding citizens from having them solves nothing. Remember the war on drugs, how long has that been going on? 30 years, and guess what, illegal drugs are still a problem.
I'll make you a deal Morgan I won't try to take away your right to post your views, (1st Amendment), as long as you don't try to away the peoples right to keep and bear arms.(2nd Amendment). These rights are not guaranteed by our government but by our Creator! Read the Constitution some time, you might learn something, even if you do disagree.
Morgan King
8:19 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
First off, one failed plan doesn't mean every plan will fail.
Secondly, criminals would probably love to have grenades, tanks and rocket launchers, but we've somehow managed to prevent them from gaining access to those weapons. I'm guessing regulation, expense and rarity has something to do with that. The fact is, criminals will always have guns as long there are guns to be easily had - crack dealers aren't exactly set up to manufacture their own handguns, after all.
Next up, and perhaps most importantly, if you live your whole life preparing for a gang of gun-toting thugs who are going to lay siege your rowhome and execute your family just because of their uncontrollable lust for chaos, perhaps an escalating arms race isn't really the best way to deal with the situation. Isn't forcing others to live their lives preparing for a hypothetical attack the very goal of terrorism? I'd suggest that, maybe, if we stopped trying to defund schools, defund welfare, and keep guns easily available, then you might not have to buy those guns to protect yourself from uneducated, desperately poor, armed people?
I don't think anybody - certainly not me - is looking to take away your 2nd Amendment rights - we're just asking you to keep your arms securely stored with your local well-regulated militia until you have need to use them to secure a free state. If that moment comes, I'll be right there bearing them with you.
Morgan King
9:51 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
"...if all the guns are taken away,and only the drug dealers and criminals have them, how exactly do you intend to defend yourself when they decide to break into your house?"
This made me curious, so I did a little research on the Philly crime map - So, in 2011, how many Justifiable Homicides, such as the home defense scenario you describe, happened in Philadelphia? A grand total of 5 incidents were at the hands of civilians. So, I looked up the news reports of those 5, and 3 of them were done with guns (1 knife, 1 blunt force object), 1 of which was a club bouncer who was armed at work, and 1 of those used the attacker's own gun. The remaining 1 incident (which seems to still be under investigation) was a double homicide, was a guy who was waiting with a shotgun and body armor for the 4 guys who attacked his N. Philly apartment, so not exactly a random encounter.
Even if you want to count that one (I wouldn't), is that remotely worth the other 1,421 people who were shot, or the 265 who were killed by guns? In Philadelphia, at least, civilians owning guns did basically nothing to actually prevent crime, and had a whole hell of a lot to with enabling it. In 2011, there were over 250 armed robberies almost every month - about 3,000 in total.
How can ANYONE look at that information and argue that private ownership of guns is helping the citizens of Philadelphia?
4:15 am on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
for your post below: If any of your statistics are true, I can't be bothered to look them up, they do not show any crime that was thwarted by the use of a gun, robberieis thwarted or rapes or any others because the attacker approached someone that unknowingly had a gun. Regardless. If even ONE life was saved or ONE person protected from harm because they themselves did in fact carry...it's worth it. If YOU want to go unarmed with only a telephone to call for help, then YOU do that, everyone else can decide for themselves what they want to do...they don't need your help or the governments help to protect themselves from the fear of guns you and govt possess.
Morgan King
1:35 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
" If even ONE life was saved or ONE person protected from harm because they themselves did in fact carry...it's worth it."
You're going to have to explain that one - how is 1 hypothetical Philadelphian life saved because of a gun EVER worth the 265 lives actually lost to them? I don't follow that reasoning. I'd love to see some data for actual crimes thwarted by civilians with guns, but without that it doesn't really make sense to go on blind belief that its a common occurrence or an effective deterrent. The police should have reports for that - I imagine a majority of the crimes that could only be prevented with the threat of a registered firearm are also crimes that are worth reporting to the police. I don't see where that information is published, though.
You mention fear, and I think that's an interesting facet to this discussion, and how it relates to prevention. Which scenario is really acting fearfully: insisting on arming yourself to someday respond to the hypothetical day that you have to save yourself from a possible threat, or systematically controlling the flow of weapons because the data supports that more Philadelphia guns take lives than save them? The paranoid, be-prepared, conceal-and-carry ethos is the very height of fearfulness - the gun makes you feel protected and capable of defending yourself, no? Then the opposite of that is the lack of a gun makes you feel unprotected and incapable of defending yourself: that is fear.
Tom Bartman
10:01 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
Yeah, gun control would have stopped this. A criminal would say "oh, wait...those new laws!" The foundations of this country allows for citizens to be armed to STOP nut cases like this guy to be taken down in your home and in public.
Morgan King
12:03 am on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
'Gun control' is more than just penalizing individuals or passing a law this week to stop crime the next. A local handgun law would have done nothing to change this, most likely, but managing the national flow of guns for an extended period of time sure would. Why would a guy who's in openly White Supremacist hardcore bands pass a background check of any vague rigor? Also, and maybe this hasn't been said enough, the 2nd Amendment says nothing whatsoever about vigilante justice.
Amend Wun
11:01 pm on Monday, August 6, 2012
I support the Second Amendment. We keep a handgun in our house. The misses inherited it from her father when he passed. He was in the airforce. I would hate to think that some government official would come to out door and confiscate said handgun from two responsible individuals. That being said, a whole lot of irresponsible people are in possession of weapons illegally, and some of those weapons are concerning. It shouldn't be easy to get an automatic weapon or anything military grade. A person should need to demonstrate responsibility to possess a weapon. Sales should monitored. Straw sales should be prohibited. That's not curbing rights, that's just the smart thing to do. But in reality, if we really wanted to curb gun violence, we would end the war on drugs.
8:24 am on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Good point, Amend, but automatic or military grade weapons are not easy to get. It requires $$, mountains of paperwork and months of investigation to get approval.
So called "assault weapons" are merely modern sporting arms and function no differently than arms commonly used in shooting sports. The differences are mainly cosmetic.
I own several firearms of varying configurations. My family and I enjoy shooting them at the range and know how to use them safely. Have my weapons assaulted anyone? Never in 30+ years I have owned one. Would we use them in self defense? Absolutely. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
"Just believers in Christ that express that belief by living their everyday lives attempting to do their best to follow Christ. But they also acknowledge their human nature and occasional failures. The true Christian gun owner believes he/she is to be a servant to humanity. But that belief does but not extend to being a doormat to those who refuse to live by the rules of reasonable human behavior."
My condolences to those of the Sikh community.
4:02 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Well lets see in Morgans Utopia, everyone would get along just great. There would be no violence. However if guns are so evil, why didn't the hijackers on 9/11/01 use them???
They used box cutters and our own airplanes to kill 3000 people! So I guess we'll ban box cutters, butter knives and spoons next. After all, anything can be used as a weapon when one is intent on killing others. That's a fact!! Gun control isn't the problem and never will be.
The problem is that there is evil in this world and our government has convinced some of you that they can solve all the worlds problems, well guess what, they can't!
We need less government intrusion in our lives, less government spending and we need to get back to caring about each other. Yes I mean each other, your family, friends, neighbors, even strangers! Try it some time, help a neighbor or a stranger some time.
The problems that we have in this country today are home grown, everyone is so damn selfish that taking a minute out of their day to be kind to someone is too much to ask.
Guns aren't the problem, people are the problem. In case you haven't noticed, this nation is more divided than its ever been. We're divided along, racial, financial, economic and religious lines. I challenge everyone on here to try being kind to a neighbor and a stranger.
We don't need government, we need each other. Government is about power, not about helping you or me.
Morgan King
5:08 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Yep, almost anything can be used as a weapon. Guns, however, actually ARE weapons, the ability to kill being its only purpose (that's a fact!!). You can see how that's fundamentally different, right?
You're right - most of the problems in this country are home-grown, which is probably the case for every world-leading country in history. One example, perhaps, is that "everyone is so damn selfish" that they can't see that their personal demand for the illusion of handgun-based protection comes at the cost of other people's lives from the huge influx of readily-available weapons that market demand creates.
If you really want to embrace your family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers!, regardless of racial, financial, economic or religious lines, may I suggest not drawing them into some morally-and-situationally unambiguous 'Evil' caricature. Anyone has the potential to violate the civilized social contract when they are in a position to be desperate, scared, or hungry - mistaking that for some sort of unknowable, uncontrollable evil that can only be dealt with if you have weapon superiority is the antithesis of the social responsibility you are espousing.
And, yeah, a government is about power: it's the power we all jointly wield to try and improve our civilization in ways that individuals can't. It's flawed, corruptible, and inefficient, but its all ours. I say we use it to get the guns off Philly's streets.

Unafraid of hypothetical threats? I guess you haven't heard of the TSA? They won't profile Arabs, but they'll feel up a 90 year old woman or a child for the sake of security.
Guns are weapons, I believe we all agree on that. In regards to Phila.., no one is allowed to carry guns of any kind, even with a state issued license to carry concealed. So again, while the drug dealers and criminals attack the innocent, what do you suggest the average citizen do to protect themselves?? I know carry their smart phone and call 911......
Morgan King
7:38 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
It's only tangentially related, seems to me, but truly random security is more mathematically effective than specific profiling, as this explains pretty effectively:
The very premise that a handgun is providing you protection is pretty flawed. In what percentage of potential crimes directed toward you is it immediately available? The vast majority of assaults in Philly happen outside the house where you can't carry it anyway. Of those, in what percentage of those potential crimes is use the threat of death even appropriate? Are you going to pull a gun on a 13 year old stealing your garden gnome? And what percentage of available, appropriate times could a knife of a baseball bat not also be an effective deterrent? And of those remaining situations, what percentage of those are you not going to instigate a shootout that could have been avoided until you started firing? As I posted above, there were actually no Justifiable Homicides committed by civilians using their own guns in their own home in Philadelphia in 2011. The 'protection' it affords you is an illusion - an illusion that facilitates the availability of guns used for crime.
Drug dealers and criminals can't manufacture guns. Every single handgun ever used in a crime was, ostensibly, intended to be sold to someone who wanted to buy it legally.
Morgan King
8:44 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Also, as far as protection goes, the average citizen has a lot of defensive measures available to them besides threatening to kill each other - they can:
lock their doors and windows
install motion lights
set up an alarm system
use non-lethal weapons
have a dog
join the neighborhood watch
increase financial support for law enforcement
petition the government to demolish or rehab abandoned buildings and vacant lots
report potential criminal activity
take self-defense classes
And, though I realize its probably anathema to your political leanings, we could also actually try to stem the motivations for crime in the first place! You know - lack of education, poverty, hunger and addiction. Studies indicate that easy access to birth control and legal abortion do a lot to reduce the rate of unwanted, and ultimately neglected, children which reduces the crime rate by the time that generation reaches adolescence. There are many options available for protection - both short-term and long - that you can do without perpetuating the handgun saturation that results in guns ultimately being used for crime.
Morgan King
9:25 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Right, but that's also ridiculously unlikely to happen. In fact, it didn't happen once to anybody in Philly in all of 2011 - not one person shot and killed an intruder with a handgun in self defense. It's your fear of that scenario - a subsequent weapons purchases to hypothetically prevent it - that enable the steady flow of guns into the hands of criminals. Come on, Conservatives - that's classic Free Market! If there isn't a market, there isn't a supply. Considering the amount of suffering related to handguns in Philly last year, that hardly seems worth the price of giving you the chance of maybe-someday putting lead into somebody's chest.
Moreover, from where I'm sitting, someone having any sort of power-trip fantasies about putting lead into fictional people's chests seems like the exact kind of person that shouldn't have access to firearms.
9:02 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
wow... I just noticed how many posts by Morgan. Each one get worse than the last one. Keep doing your research there. Firearms are used EVERY SINGLE DAY over 2,000 times in justified self defensive. That is around a million incidents a year. Guess how many times firearms are used a year in homicide? 11,000
11,000 < 1,000,000 There are also over 80,000,000 gun owners in the USA and 200,000,000 firearms. Crime is under .01%
You've been sold a false story that guns are a problem just like drugs. Do your own research
Morgan King
9:38 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Nobody but gun advocates seemed up for debating it, so I figured it was worth throwing in a counterpoint. As I linked to above - there were zero Justifiable Homicides by civilians with their own handguns in Philly last year. However, there were over 1400 people shot, over 260 of whom died. Over 70% (in 2010, that's the most recent I've seen) of homicides in PA were from guns.
For what it's worth, that is my own research. I'd love to have more gun data for Philly if you've got it.
Morgan King
12:10 am on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Sorry to keep belaboring this, I find it fascinating. I was looking into those numbers you've used here. It seems like a lot of sites - the NRA among them - base their numbers on a private phone poll done by Gary Kleck in the early 90s that's been denounced by pretty much every statistician I could find. So probably a lot of partisan nonsense on both sides of that. Rather than go on any of that, I did happen to find some Department of Justice reports. It's a little old - I didn't see more recent - but from about the same era as Kleck's findings (1987-1992).
The DoJ has crime victims using guns to stop 62,000 violent crimes annually, with another 20,000 theft crimes. So that's ~82,000 crimes stopped annually with a gun. So, that's actually 1/10 of the figures you've got - about 225 times per day. Of those, only 1/3 of the criminals were armed. So victims with guns stopped 27,333 armed crimes annually. At the time of this data, crimes committed with firearms was at a very high rate of 600,000 annually, but, you know, 82,000 prevented < 600,000 enabled.
Of note - the DoJ reported then that 340,000 firearms were stolen in burglaries from homes each year - so ~3.5 million legally obtained handguns enter the hands of criminals every decade. In a 1997 survey of prisoners arrested with guns, 80% of the guns were obtained illegally.
9:37 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Not very good at research are we? Firearms are used many times over on self defense. That includes Philly. I could name you a ton of examples not counting all the ones that go unreported. Start with googling "Gerald Ung".
As far as the "1400 shot", you'll find the majority of those "victims", are criminals. If the democratic machine wasn't a revolving door of justice in Philly, violent criminals wouldn't be back on the street. Either way... I don't have an issue with them shooting each other. I'll donate the bullets.

I'm only going by specific, empirical data - that's the only kind of research relevant to this. Since we're doing our own research, can you give me the links to the info you're using? I'll gladly incorporate data into this argument that doesn't support it - data for Philly would be even better. What percentage of shooting victims were criminals? Of those, which were violent criminals? Regardless, this is US - you don't stop being a citizen just because you have a criminal record.
1:28 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Well thank you Morgan, I've seen the light of your wisdom. I'll lock my doors and windows. Wow now I'm safe. Because no criminal intent on breaking into my house or anyone else's would be stopped by a locked door.
You must be educated Morgan, you keep stating your facts, as links. We all know that all research is done with 100% accuracy, or shall I say show the results they wish put forward. I guess you've never looked at a poll? Its only as accurate as the people they poll and how the question is asked.
Morgan King
3:27 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
If raw statistical data from the city of Philadelphia and the Federal Department of Justice isn't non-partisan or accurate enough for you, nothing ever will be.
I realize you are being facetious, but, yes, by locking your doors and windows you are now as realistically safe as you are ever going to need to be. The chances of a random person breaking into your home with the intent of harming you while you are both there and with immediate access to your gun are essentially nonexistent.
I dunno - maybe you have enemies who are out to get you, or maybe you have something rare and highly sought after, maybe you owe dangerous people a lot of money? Then, yeah, locks probably won't be enough. Anybody determined to get into your specific home will be undeterred by standard security, of course, but unless their singular goal is to murder you, they are probably going to wait until your place is unoccupied. And, EVEN IF their goal is to murder you, for whatever reason, they will be waiting in the house in ambush when you return, or attack when you are outside of it at an opportune vulnerable moment.

Does anyone really think that voice-modulated guy is not completely fake? Beyond that, anecdotal evidence is not relevant - would you be swayed by 11 minutes of armed criminals succeeding at their crimes? I'm going to guess there's a hell of a lot more video of successful gun crimes than crimes stopped by guns - that's obvious, right? Even if you WERE going on the info from that video - damn, there are a lot of criminals with guns, huh? Where did they get those from?
5:17 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Morgan, why do you think it is that most would be criminals would rather break in when no one is home? Maybe they fear the unknown, that a citizen may be armed. So again taking guns from the law abiding citizen does nothing to deter the criminal. As I've stated before, you are quick to attack our rights to bear arms, but you never hold the criminal element responsible for their actions. So lets remove the weapon(regardless of type), and actually hold the person responsible. Bring back capital punishment and see what happens.
If you kill innocent people and there are witness's who will testify to that fact Then guess what, you will be put to death!!! Will empty the prison system, get rid of the scum of the earth and make the world a safer place.
Eye for an eye!!!
Morgan King
7:05 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Maybe you fear the unknown, that a stranger may be trying to kill you?
A) You don't have a right to bear arms. You have a right to bear arms in a well regulated militia when it's necessary to the security of a free state.
B) Where did you get the impression I don't want to hold criminals responsible? We haven't discussed that at all, nor is that in contention.
"An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind."
5:35 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
People like Morgan want this to be a "nanny state", where gov't. controls every facet of your life and nobody takes personal responsibility. Omao has everything under control.
Disarm the law-abiding citizens and it's like opening the door to the chicken coop for the fox.
Their idea is to punish the many for the bad behavior of the few instead of punishing the few. Millions of firearms are used legally every day, mostly for sport. It is an industry that pumps tens of billiions into the economy. http://nssf.org/impact/
Using the anti's logic, only police and other emergency or gov't agencies should have vehicles. After all, take away people's PRIVILEGE to drive. Cars kill and maim. Don't blame the drunk or unlicensed driver. After all, according to Morgan, it is the tool's fault, not the user of the tool.
6:03 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Well said Chin!!! Personal responsibility, what a concept!!!!
Morgan King
6:56 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
That's simply untrue - I'm a huge advocate of personal responsibility! Maybe you guys should take some 'personal responsibility' for being the source for the guns in the hands of criminals in the first place? I'm not even talking about 'disarming' anyone - I'm talking about halting the flow of guns into the market and making new weapon purchases bear significantly more rigorous qualifications to obtain them. After all, everybody's a law-abiding citizen until they aren't.
As we gone over a hundred billion times in the gun control debate, and few times here, cars, boxcutters, and other tools have purposes beyond 'killing people' - making that a fallacious comparison. Of course it's the user of the tool's fault - but if the tool can only kill people, should we be surprised when that's all the user does with it?
4:19 pm on Thursday, August 9, 2012
People who have a sheep's mentality get eaten by wolves, ultimately.
Nanny states have killed more of their own Citizens than any other criminals in history.
Right on the money, Chin. You get it. Some never will.
In ANY situation involving immediate physical danger to your life, you and you alone are the First Responder. No one else. And if you let yourself - and I stress "let yourself" - be deprived of the means to defend your life and the lives of those around you...well, you get what you pay for so to speak.
8:30 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Well I killed lots of tin cans, paper and clay targets with my guns. Does that count Morgan? Guns have other purposes beyond killing.
There are plenty of laws already. Demand that your elected Democratic heroes enforce them. I am not a source for criminals to get guns. Responsible firearm owners abhor crime, especially pertaining to unlawful use of weapons.
If you are interested, you can find out all about PA's firearms laws here:
Morgan King
9:34 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
I'm not sure practicing killing-related skills with guns is inherently different from its primary purpose of killing. You could use a handgun as a doorstop if you wanted to, but that doesn't change what its designed for. And perhaps you, personally, aren't a source for criminals to get guns, but - according to the DoJ - 80% of guns used in crimes are obtained illegally, as in stolen from a gun owner's home. We have such a surplus of illegal guns that, generally speaking, gun runners take guns from the US, not into it. 68,000 US guns have been seized in Mexico in the last 5 years alone!
If you truly abhor crime, and seek to prevent it outside of the rare, isolated incidents where its happening directly to you, can we not work together to stop the motivations for it in the first place, and to reduce the likelihood of a gun ending up in a criminal's hands? That doesn't seem to me like its such a huge compromise.
4:05 pm on Thursday, August 9, 2012
To Morgan:
MORE gun control? 20,000 laws currently on the books Sure, that'll work. Consider that I have ZERO criminal record. I'm relatively invisible as far as law enforcement goes. And I own a LOT of firearms, even those "evil black rifles which are NOTHING more than modern firearms. All Federal and State background checked upon purchase. "Assault Rifles" are full auto, mine are not. "Assault" is an action, not an object. If I could afford NFA Class III firearms, rest assured that I would. Unfortunately for people that think like you, in 43 states it's NOT illegal to own a full auto weapon. But it does cost a lot of money, and there ARE reasonable regs/controls already in place to restrict them. I grew up in a family of WWII Army Airborne and Marines, around guns all my life. I fix, work with, carry, collect and use them. You can try to outlaw them, to reason and rationalize them away; rant and rage against people owning them - feel free. It doesn't change my mind, nor faze me or people like me one bit: guys like me will always have firearms. Always. Regardless of laws. No law supersedes my right to protect my life. And there are millions just like me. Legion, you might say.
I'm an American. I have family members that gave their lives to protect this right. I don't care about statistics, made-up facts, emotional opinions, figures, etc. People DIED for this and our other Constitutional rights, and I will never give them up without a fight. Ever.
Morgan King
7:11 pm on Thursday, August 9, 2012
Those same people that died protecting the Constitution were also fighting to "ensure domestic tranquility," "to promote the general Welfare" - there's a lot more to the Constitution than just the 2nd Amendment. An Amendment, which you'll note, says absolutely nothing at all about your right to stockpile weapons for your personal use. Your right to bear arms is limited to their use in a well regulated militia to ensure a free state. That's it.
4:05 pm on Thursday, August 9, 2012
[To Morgan- continued]
You have the right NOT to own firearms if you choose. You do NOT have the right to try to impose any more regulations or controls on me and others just because you disagree with or oppose my choice to exercise my right.
You want to criminalize a right? Well, you just made me and millions of others criminals, with nothing left to lose. There are those among us who will fight to preserve the most BASIC human right - the right to be able to defend our lives from thugs - either the baggypants street-hoodie kind or the jackboot gov-agent variety of ANY political stripe.
It's not about the gun; it's about the person. A gun is a tool, nothing more. A law will never stop a human being from committing an act of violence, but you CAN interdict/minimize the damage. You and you alone are the First Responder in any situation involving immediate danger to YOUR life. The police show up after the damage is done and draw chalk lines. You are responsible for your own safety - no one else.
If you aren't willing to take the trouble to learn how to defend your life with the most expedient tool for the task, how can you reasonably ask someone else - someone who values THEIR life just as much - to put themselves in harm's way to do so FOR you?
4:11 pm on Thursday, August 9, 2012
[To Morgan- cont]
As for the Sikh folks saying "The US needs more gun control..." because they experienced a tragedy... Wait...you come HERE, to my country, and lecture us about restricting OUR rights? You want to come here to live, you take the same risks as everyone else. Sorry your people got killed by a freak, but that could have happened ANYWHERE in the world - just take a look at any Muslim cesspool country right now. There SHOULD have been CCW armed men in that Temple. An armed person in the Colorado theater could have stopped Holmes at two or three deaths, instead of 12. But it was a "gun free zone" by theater policy - ensured that the kill zone was free of armed citizens that could interfere.
I'm armed not because I expect attack, but because I realize I have a responsibility to protect myself (I provide for my family), my neighbor (I AM my brother's keeper), and my community. We live in a world where bad people do horrendous things without warning; there's no excuse for not taking active measures to be able to interdict should an event occur. Especially in a country that recognizes the right of a person to defend him/herself. That's part of the responsibility of an American Citizen.
3 kinds of people in the world, Morgan-Wolves, Sheep, and Sheepdogs. I'm a Sheepdog. Sheepdogs protect. Sheep mentality lets the Wolves run amok. Which are you? Part of the price of living in a free society, risks and rewards. Tough concept, I know. Live with it and deal with it.
6:14 pm on Thursday, August 9, 2012
Someone had stated that it is illegal to carry within the city limits of Philly, and that's simply untrue. Philly is a city of the first class, and requires a PA LTCF (license to carry firearms) or a reciprocal states license. Open carry and concealed carry are 100% legal in Philly with the license. Search Mark Fiorino and read his story. He was exercising a constitutionally protected right. I own over 10 pistols of various types and calibers, and none have killed anyone and I hope they never do. I also own well over 10 long guns, and again- no people dead. Why don't we make murder illegal and people will stop killing? How about drunk driving? You can't punish all for a few jack wagons doing illegal things. Gun free signs didn't stop colombine, Virginia tech, or any shooting in malls. I'll tell you where you never hear of shootings- gun shows, gun bashes, gun ranges, and only one police station that I'm aware of.
3:01 pm on Friday, August 10, 2012
To Morgan:
"...An Amendment, which you'll note, says absolutely nothing at all about your right to stockpile weapons for your personal use. Your right to bear arms is limited to their use in a well regulated militia to ensure a free state. That's it...."
So you say. Over 200 years of American history, legal scholars, and judges says you're wrong.
But beyond that - at the end of the day, you still have to come and take them from millions of folks, at least one third of whom aren't going to give them up without a serious fight. And a lot of those folks are military, former military, LEO, and others with serious skillsets that can make your day really, really bad.
You want to see that? A bloodbath, all because you and a bunch of others don't like guns? Because that's what you'll have.
You want Utopia, go try the Worker's Paradise in the Soviet Union...oh, wait...they failed, didn't they? Disarmed their people, killed them in industrial numbers, and fell apart anyway.
Like I said - you don't like guns, that's fine. Don't own them. Me, I will. Always.
Regardless of what you think, it IS my right. And millions of others agree, just as fiercely.
4:11 pm on Friday, August 10, 2012
"There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet an enemy."
"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth."
"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
- George Washington
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
"For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security."
"No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms."
"One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them."
-Thomas Jefferson
8:13 pm on Friday, August 10, 2012
Mike Vanderbeough, one of the gentlemen who helped expose the FedGovs illegal program for gun trafficking into Mexico - Fast & Furious - wrote up an interesting piece on a hypothetical Citizen disarmament situation.
For those folks (like some above) advocating taking law-abiding Citizens' guns away, well, ya'll should just read this...and ponder it carefully. It ain't pretty.

Since working with Masuga Design, we've never looked back.
These guys are truly awesome and experts in ExpressionEngine.
Masuga Design is a great strategic partner—they're magic.
Their knowledge of ExpressionEngine is invaluable.
…so passionate about what they do that it's borderline obsession.
They'll stop at nothing to solve a problem.
We thrive on partnering with agencies. As a go-to development partner, we make designs functional through creative coding and strong skills in front-end development, from one project to another.
Our workload is reasonable, allowing us to do our best work for clients who are the best fit. If we're working together, you know we're not too busy for you.
Effective CMS development. We make complex site functionality a reality. Whether one person or a team of twenty is responsible for your content, we deploy the right tools and direction to empower content creators to maintain and update a site with confidence.
We are passionate about providing you with the best possible CMS solutions.
Detail oriented creativity. Whether it's custom additions to content management systems, information dense APIs, exchanging data with CRMs, complex Javascript interactions, or responsive layouts, we're up to the task.
We distill complex requirements into applications that work, one carefully crafted line at a time.
In early stages of a project, it's common to use placeholder images in the layout. There are several tools that generate FPO pics already, but we thought we could do a few things better.
We used the Slim framework to rapidly develop a site that delivered hand-picked images from 500px and flickr based on your exact specs. You can download the images or place links directly in your code. We even have plugins for various CMS platforms. Within one month we served over 1 million images and were featured on blogs around the globe. If you need FPO images for your project, check out placeIMG.
We play a lot of ping pong, and record every game played. Using Laravel, we made a dashboard that grabs information via our pong site's API and show us everyone's current stats in amazing detail.
Scores are entered on an iPad, and the current stats are displayed on a dedicated Pong Stats dashboard page on the 60" monitor we use in the office as our information radiator.
If you are an ExpressionEngine® developer, then devot-ee.com is very likely an essential resource for you. We created and maintain this most vital and useful website for EE developers the world over.
devot:ee contains the most comprehensive catalog of ExpressionEngine add-ons anywhere, and sells almost every commercial EE add-on under the sun. We are the most heavily visited third-party site devoted to the ExpressionEngine CMS.
Visit devot-ee.com or follow @devot_ee on Twitter.
This is our popular ExpressionEngine add-on that protects your local and remote download links, tracks all downloads, tracks and blocks leech attempts and disguises any other link URLs you'd like to protect. You can run download reports from the control panel. There are also hooks and a PHP library available so you can extend Link Vault's functionality. Read the docs for more information.
We were enlisted by JESS3 to develop a slideshow for Google Elections, to be used on site at the 2012 presidential debates. JESS3 designed the content of the slides from data supplied by Google, and we used ExpressionEngine and JavaScript to create multiple slideshows for display on two large 65" touchscreens.
The presenter could swipe the screen with their hands to navigate through the slides, and could also access a hidden menu to switch slide sets, use drawing tools to draw on any slide with their fingers, or jump to any other slide.
Masuga Design/devot:ee is proud to be a Featured Sponsor of the 2013 ExpressionEngine Conference to be held October 14-15 in Portland, Oregon. Our whole team will be making the trip. The conference gets better every year, and this year looks like a quantum leap over previous years. If you're a part of the ExpressionEngine community, we hope to see you there.
We've grown considerably in the first half of 2013. Going from a two-person to a five-person shop expanded our in-house skillset and available bandwidth. With a bigger, more diverse team we found it was the perfect time for a complete site overhaul to recreate our image and redefine our core message.
For the new site we switched formats and migrated from our previous database-driven CMS to the DB-less Statamic. Our new site better represents who we are and what we're capable of. Thanks for taking a look.
A content management system is much more than software and a theme. No project is too complex or too big. We customize experiences based on ExpressionEngine, CraftCMS, and Statamic.
We excel at custom PHP development and have built websites and APIs using the Laravel, CodeIgniter, and Slim frameworks.
We're very skilled at realizing responsive designs in HTML and CSS, and have considerable JavaScript chops.
IA is not an optional part of the process. When it comes to mapping and planning your new site or auditing your current site, our experience is invaluable.
If you're looking for a developer to code your next great thing or you're in the planning stages and need direction…we're here to help. We are an excellent strategic partner at any point in the process.
We look forward to hearing from you!

The Mother of All Bubbles: Huge National Debts Could Push Euro Zone into Bankruptcy
Greece is only the beginning. The world's leading economies have long lived beyond their means, and the financial crisis caused government debt to swell dramatically. Now the bill is coming due, but not all countries will be able to pay it. By SPIEGEL staff.

Government does not expand output
"The economy has to grow, so that the government can collect enough tax revenue and thus reduce its debt. The trick, in other words, will be to save money while at the same time expanding aggregate output."
Only private enterprise expands output. Government consumes output. Any money government manages to save (i.e., not consume) will be left in the hands of the private sector to expand output. Woolly assumptions like this one are largely responsible for the Greek tragedy and those which will shortly follow. |

The beneficiaries who first receive the newly printed currency (this will be the banks, of course) benefit from spending it quickly while, say, 2 apples cost a euro. Their spending puts the freshly printed currency into circulation. Then everybody notices there are a lot more euros than before (i.e., supply has suddenly increased) and, as with any sudden supply increase, the thing being supplied suffers a decrease in its value. With money devalued, 2 apples now cost, say, 2 euros. In Zimbabwe today this is understood by everybody. In the Wiemar Republic this was understood by everybody, but that was 90 years ago. As the saying goes, "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it." Government borrowed too much during the good times so it could live beyond its means. The eurozone countries have badly flouted the 3pc debt limit, including Germany. In the fog spewed by the politicians' blame game, it must be remembered that those who controlled the purse strings caused this mess. Now you suggest that they carry on doing the same, borrowing their way out of the problem created by borrowing too much, tempting sovereign bankruptcy, hyperinflation, Weimar redux? Your wish shall be granted. |

"Freedom Forever. WTC 9/11" is scrawled on a beam near the top of the gleaming, 104-story One World Trade Center. "Change is from within" is on a beam on the roof. Another reads: "God Bless the workers & inhabitants of this bldg."
One of the last pieces of steel hoisted up last year sits near a precarious edge. The message on it reads: "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!" It is signed by a visitor to the site last year—President Barack Obama.
The words on beams, walls
"This is not just any construction site, this is a special place for these guys," says Murphy of the 1,000 men and some women who work in the building at any given time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Everyone here wants to be here, they want to put this building up," Murphy says. "They're part of the redemption."
On a frigid, windy winter day, with the 9/11 memorial fountain straight below and the Statue of Liberty in the distance, Murphy supervised a crew of men guiding the first piece of the steel spire that will top out the building at a dizzying 1,776 feet—the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.
In the rooftop iron scaffolding for the spire, 105 floors up, a beam pays homage to Lillian Frederick, a 46-year-old administrative assistant who died on the 105th floor of the south tower, pierced by a terrorist-hijacked airliner.

Some beams are almost completely covered in a spaghetti-like jumble of doodled hearts and flowers, loopy cursives and blaring capitals. Many want to simply mark their presence: "Henry Wynn/Plumbers Local (hash)1/Sheepshead Bay/Never Forget!"
Families of victims invited to go up left names and comments too, as did firefighters and police officers who were first responders. "R.I.P. Fanny Espinoza, 9-11-01" reads a typical remembrance signed by several family members of a Cantor-Fitzgerald employee.
Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff wrote: "With you in spirit—those who perished, those who
Time and daily routines have softened the communal grief as the workers carry on, trading jokes and gruff male banter. Some ends up in whimsical graffiti marking World Cup soccer matches, New York Giants Super Bowl victories and other less-weighty matters that have gone on since construction began six years ago. One crudely drawn map of the neighborhood down below shows the location of a popular strip club.
People on the ground below will never see the spontaneous private thoughts high in the Manhattan sky. The graffiti will disappear as the raw basic structure is covered with drywall, ceiling panels and paint for tenants moving into the 3 million square feet of office space by 2014.
