Hi. This past weekend, I broke my Casio Exlim s500 LCD screen. I have researched different places and have found that it would cost about $150 or so to replace it. But I found a site where I can purchase the screen for about $65 or so. Also, I know it is only the screen that needs to be fixd because I have taken pictures and uploaded them onto my computer and they are perfect (as well as videos).
So I was wondering two things: 1. If anyone knew of any cheaper replacement LCD screens? 2. Also, once I bought the screen anyone know HOW to replace one?? Please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
If you don't already have a pretty good idea how to replace that screen, I wouldn't even spend the $65. Consumer electronics nowadays generally are not designed to be repairable; certainly not by non-trained, possibly-non-technical people. There are many tiny connections which have to be disconnected and reconnected properly and, without knowing how the camera is assembled, it would be hard to know how to remove certain parts so they could be re-used or do not damage parts to which they're connected. Frankly, even though I think they're generally a waste of $$, you'd be better off putting that $65 into an extended warranty that would cover accidental damage on a new camera. |
hi smilietai88, my casio s500 broke too, but me its the lens only, if you happen to want to get rid of yours I'm willing to buy your broken camera for parts. ie the lens... please reply back to email@example.com if interested. that would cool, thanks! seb |

I'm looking to run the Swansea Bay 10k later this year, last years time was 48 mins so looking to get down to about the 45min mark (or faster) this year.Never really used a schedule until now, just my garmin forerunner.
I have been looking at the R/W plans and would like some help -
In the following plan - 2M warm-up, then 8 x 400m or 75 secs, with 400m or 2-3 min recoveries, then 2M cool-down
1) 8 x 400m or 75 secs - but at what pace/speed is this ran at?
2) How do you adapt this type of plan for heart rate monitor training?
Any help would be great. Cheers.
400m in 75 seconds presumably. Why this sort of workout is on the plan is beyond me though.
This is just one day in a week of this training plan, but surely that would be a rediculous time!?!
If you use Runners World smart coach schedules in the training section it will give you your pace.If you put in 45 minutes for a recent race time for a 10k it will taylor a programme for that finish time.for example SpeedworkDist: 5mi, inc,Warm; 3x800@3:20w/400 jogs; Cool. I have the garmin fr60 and for this particular session set the pace at 6.40(being that 800 meters is about half a mile).
Hope that helps.
Well I'm aiming for a sub 45 minute 10k and its a lot faster than any of my sessions but I dont do anything as short as that...the quickest lap times I do at the track are about 1:43 as part of an 800m rep...
Moraghan - is this meant to be a lactate building session with the idea of improving VO2 max?
Would a 3 minute rep (i.e. longer and slower) be a better session for this purpose or am I getting that wrong?
Craig - yes, it would be a totally ludicrous time, a completely impossible workout given it would have be done at a faster pace than your 400m best.
What else might it mean I wonder - you can do 400m or run for 75 seconds - even though they would be workouts of different lengths. God knows. It may only be one day but calls into question the validity of the whole thing.
Curly - a 400 rep with 400 rest would typically be done at a pace much faster than a workout vo2 max - I would look to do this at 800m pace reasonably close to race season. The rep is too short and recovery too long to be all that much benefit to your vo2 max. So, it would be more like a "rep" workout aimed at developing efficiency at faster paces with almost complete recovery. What it's doing in a 10k program I haven't a clue.
Thanks Moraghan - I'm half right as always (longer reps etc)...still learning the short stuff so apologies to Craig for highjacking!
I do alternate weeks mile reps and 800 reps at 5k pace and 3k pace respectively with 2 min recoveries that will decrease to 1 min over time - you are a bit slower than me Craig, but perhaps this type of session would benefit you as well.
I currently do 3 mile worth of each - if they start to get easy I will add on some more reps.
If I were you I'd keep the 5k reps to about 5 - 6 minutes maximum. If this is too easy keep reducing the recoveries. I would also do less overall volume at 3k than 5k as it's a faster pace. If you are able to do 3 miles of either with very short recoveries it means you are fitter than you think you are. In that case, a good time to race and as a result have a new set of training paces.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Pregnancy is a very special part in a woman's life. You will no longer consider only your own needs, but the needs of your children as well. Nine months may have been sufficient to create that sublime connection of affection between a mother and her children. That same nine months should also be healthy nine months as well. A mother needs to stay healthy and fit during the pregnancy not only for her own health, but for the health of her unborn child as well.
There are many mothers out there, each with different pregnancy circumstances. This list should at least give every mother an idea on how to lead a healthy pregnancy, and can be useful for women monitoring their ovulation symptoms too.
Eat a well-balanced diet. This is perhaps the most crucial rule from the healthy pregnancy rulebook. Sometimes, it's easier said than done. If you'd look for healthy recipes for pregnant women, you might be overwhelmed by the number of ingredients. Some of them you may have not encountered yet. You only need to remember a rule of thumb in eating: more fruits and vegetables and less fatty foods. For drinks, avoid caffeine and alcohol. Remember to drink water. Lots and lots of water.
Exercise. Another rule in the book, and very much easier said than done. Many special yoga classes for pregnant women are offered, and it won't hurt to join one. Going to gyms is not advisable, though. Simple fitness routines like calisthenics or even the basic breathing/stretching set would suffice. It's just important to listen to your body, and for you to carry on through the delivery.
Be wary on prescription. Only take in drugs or other supplements that are prescribed by your doctor or midwife. You may be attracted by advertisements by superfoods or herbal supplements that promise a healthier body, but it's not good for you until it's officially prescribed to you. Being healthy is basically listening to your body and naturally responding to it through exercise and diet, and not on some miracle supplements.
Read, read and then read. Be well-informed of what complications or health risks you may be compromised to, now that you're pregnant. There is a high mortality rate for pregnant women, and you must know why and what to do to avoid such catastrophic event. If you have another physical ailment that's bothering you, read on real-life testimonials on how they survived. It would be better to also ask your doctor or midwife for more specialized tips on your pregnancy. If you're normal and healthy, then reading to be informed also doubles to pass the time.
Get enough sleep. Now that you're pregnant, your condition is more guarded and vulnerable than any other queen in history. Give yourself ample time to rest. If you feel like sleeping, take that nap. A vacation on a windy beach would help you sleep better and soundly.
In considering these tips, there are many others omitted, like pregnant mothers should not smoke. Then, we thought: who in their right mind would smoke while pregnant? For a healthy pregnancy, it's important to be sensible on what you take in. After all, you're not only thinking of your own health, but the health of the unborn baby as well.

Parenting Plans |
Consent Orders |
Parenting Plans were first introduced to the Family Law Act in 1996, they were later removed but have now been reintroduced with the amendments to the Family Law Act on 1 July 2006. | Consent Orders are registered Court orders. |
A Plan provides a way of documenting children's arrangements other than with a Court Order. | Consent Orders also documents the arrangements for the children. |
A Parenting Plan is an agreement in writing, that is made, dated and signed by both parents and which deals with arrangements for the children. | Consent Orders are in writing, dated and signed by both parents and witnessed. |
Parenting Plans can deal with a variety of matters, such as, who a child lives with or spends time with, whether parental responsibility is shared or allocated, dispute resolution and other aspects of care for the child. | Consent Orders deal with the same issues. |
A Parenting Plan can be made at anytime and anywhere. There is no standard form for a Parenting Plan so it is quite easy for a Parenting Plan to be made. | Consent Orders can be made on the same basis. Consent orders are more formal, unambiguous and have a preferred layout. |
A Parenting Plan can be made before or after 1 July 2006, it can be made inside or outside of Australia and it can be made with other people as parties to it other than the child's parents (including a grandparent or other relative of the child). | Consent Orders can be made at any time but must be 'lodged and recorded' in a Family Court(s) registry. The most common type is party to party (Father and Mother). |
A Parenting Plan can be revisited and updated to reflect the changes which occur from time to time. | Consent Orders can be re lodged at any time to reflect any changes that have or are likely to occur. This can be done by (a) 'superseding all previous orders' or (b) amending previous existing orders ie Order 3A is replaced with x. |
Parenting Plans are NOT registered with the Court and are NOT enforceable as Court Orders. | Consent Orders ARE registered with the Court and ARE enforceable as Court Orders. |
If a dispute between parents arises after a Parenting Plan has been prepared, the Court is entitled to look at the Parenting Plan as a reflection of the parties intention in guiding the Court as to what Order is appropriate. | If a dispute arises (normally a contravention) after Consent orders have been lodged, the Court 'determines' the issue according to the wording of the orders. | If a Parenting Plan is made after a Court Order has been made then the Parenting Plan overrides the Court Order. | Revised Consent Orders lodged with the Court override any other written agreements unless the Parenting Plan specifies this. Note: Parenting Plans are NOT enforceable. |
A Parenting Plan may be varied or revoked by agreement in writing between the parties to the Plan. | Consent Orders may be varied at any time by agreement between the parties and by re-lodging the 'amended' (revised) orders. The Courts do not charge for Consent Order lodgement. |

In October, WorkBoat editor in chief David Krapf toured Crowley Maritime Corp.'s new Ocean-class tug — the Ocean Wind — with John Ara, Crowley's vice president, business development, and Capt. Brian Cain, captain of the Ocean Wind.
You can watch the full video of the tour, with shots of the wheelhouse, accommodations, engine room, and more, right here:
Along with the Ocean Wave, the 146'x46' DP-1 tugs were built at Bollinger Marine Fabricators in Amelia, La. The second pair of tugs, the Ocean Sun and Ocean Sky, will be DP-2, which involves lengthening the hull 10' to accommodate the extra equipment. The Sun and the Sky are underway at Bollinger and are scheduled for delivery on Feb. 25 and April 19.
The new tugs are outfitted for long-range, high-capacity ocean towing, rig moves, platform and floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit tows, emergency response and firefighting.
The tugs' Caterpillar C-280 5,440-hp main engines and Cat generators are all EPA Tier II compliant. For safety, the new tugs feature waterfall-style winches, shark jaws and retractable pins that can all be controlled from the pilothouse. This will keep the deck clear of personnel and reduce the risk of accidents.
The Wave and Wind have a Berg VFD, 850-hp electric bowthruster, while the DP-2 Sun and Sky will have two Berg VFD 500-hp electric bowthrusters and a Berg 500-hp stern thruster.
Jacksonville, Fla.-based Crowley Holdings Inc., is the holding company of the 120-year-old Crowley Maritime, a privately held family and employee-owned company.

Chicano House opens community garden
Local volunteers and students gathered near the Chicano House to celebrate the opening of "Jardín Tonatiuh," a garden meant to promote healthy living and sustainability among students and the community.
Students signed up for their personal plot as soon as the announcement was made that a space behind the Chicano House on North University Drive was to be reserved for a garden in which students could plant and grow whatever they wanted, said sophomore, Alex Hernandez, 19, a Chicano studies major and garden director for Movimineto Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA).
"This has been our vision, and I think we're going to execute it today," said Hernandez, who along with professors and community volunteers helped to organize and open the garden.
"A lot of us come from communities that are so called low-income," Henandez said. "To us the biggest issue is access to healthy food."
Junk food is easily attained but healthy food is usually expensive so cost becomes an important concern, said Hernandez.
"We need to start eating healthy, so what we're trying to promote is students to become self-sustainable to grow their own food and become connected with the land," he said.
Reggae and Spanish Rock played from speakers to entertain students while they dug out and laid 16 square spaces which will be used to plant and grow various plants and flowers and promote locally grown food.
"I think about people who're out there all day in construction or picking fruit," said senior Luis Miranda, 22, a Chicano studies major who works with MEChA and the Chicano House. "Most (people) don't appreciate working outdoors all day. You don't get that feel for life, you don't get that connection with the land."
Miranda said Jardín Tonatiuh has the potential to create an awareness of what workers must go through to provide the food that we all eat.
"Everybody should respect the earth," said Miranda. "We don't know what it feels like to have to go out everyday, dig a hole, and bend over for 90 percent of the day picking fruit. These workers should be among the highest paid because they're doing stuff we don't want to do."
Among the objectives which organizers hope Tonatiuh Garden will accomplish is not only to increase awareness and appreciation of the amount of labor behind our food, but to promote physical and mental health through better eating and exercise.
Jorge Garcia, professor of Chicano studies, said it is important to maintain that relationship with the land by working closely with it, but that relationship also encourages healthy eating.
"We specialize in junk-food," Garcia said. "There's too much fat and grease, it's too refined and processed. So it's good to do some exercise planting and sowing fruits and vegetables (that) are good for you. Everything can be grown around us, locally, even though we're in the middle of the city, at least a large part of it. People are always talking about how to promote healthy living and lengthen lives, so this garden is part of that campaign of fighting for better health."
Hernandez said Jardin Tonatiuh, which in Nahuatl means "the one whose purpose is to give off hear or light," will create a sense of community and increase knowledge of plants and their relationship to culture and history.
Hernandez also said many professors and MEChA members wish to expand the garden to include not only CSUN students but individuals within the community.
"Right here, we're going to know every little process that goes into our food," said Hernandez. "It's a chance for us to remember that our families have struggled to provide us with quality food."

Eating and digestion
After healing is complete and the ostomy is working normally, most people with ileostomies can return to foods they normally eat. If you have a special diet because of heart disease, diabetes, or other health problems, you should ask your doctor about a diet that will work for you. Here are a few simple guidelines about your diet:
- Doctors often have their patients follow a low-residue diet the first weeks after any abdominal surgery. This includes only foods that are easily digested and don't leave much waste behind, which means no raw fruits and vegetables. Be sure to find out when you can start eating regular foods. Eat foods that you like unless they are restricted by your doctor.
- When going back to foods you have not eaten since surgery, try one of these foods a day. Eat small amounts at first, then slowly increase the amount. If a small serving gives you cramps or diarrhea, cut out that food for now, but try it again in a few weeks. Chew well and see how each food affects your ileostomy.
- Drink plenty of liquids. At least 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water per day are recommended. Dehydration and loss of electrolytes (salts and minerals) are possible if you don't take in enough fluids each day. Drink even more fluids if you are sweating or in a hot climate.
A warning: Beets turn ileostomy output a reddish color much like blood, but this is not harmful. Tomato juice and food dyes may change the usual color of ileostomy output, too.

This Special Issue, 'Epigenetics: From Germ Cell to Implantation - The Epigenetic Story', will position us to better understand the dynamic changes in the chromatin states of gametogenesis, after fertilization, and during the development of the resulting embryo, and provides insight to the special ways in which stem cells utilize epigenetic mechanisms to retain their characteristic potency.
Mechanotransduction in the Reproductive Tract
October 14 - 15, 2014
Durham, NC, 27710
Mechanical transduction is chemical signaling in cells and tissues induced by mechanical forces, such as stretch or compression. This phenomenon plays a large role in reproductive physiology. Topics to be covered include: mechanisms of mechanical signaling, the cellular processes that translate mechanical stimulation of biochemical signals, cell adaption to changing environment, and more…

Jona, I've never ordered from Succeed, but checked their feedback..unfortunately, there were only two reviews..on GWD. The good news is both reviews were positive. One review is from 2002, the other 2009..lol.. What about Thompson & Morgan..they have nurseries in US and Oversea. |
- Posted by tomatopepper 8 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 24, 11 at 10:36
I know this post is old but figured it could help others... I have purchased many cactus seeds from Succseed and have had great results. I have purchased a whole lot of cactus seed from different sources and Succseed is as good as any other. The plants I am growing from him seem true to type as well, growing and looking as they should. So far no unwanted surprises. Another option you can try is cactusstore.com, he usually has seeds of many Opuntia species available among others. Also, the CSSA seed depot sometimes has Opuntia species and they are a great seed resource for unique succulents (cssainc.org). Hope this helps |

Make Believe Football is Awesome
OK, it's that time of the year when football fanatics get together for a ritual that can only be described as "the immature enjoyment of the best game on earth" or simply "Sweeeeeeeeeeeet." It's Fantasy Football time!
If you aren't familiar with Fantasy Football, I'll give you a quick heads up. Fantasy Football is where a bunch of football junkies get together, pick teams out of the current roster of the NFL, then play their teams against each other in their own little pseudo season. When your make believe players score in real life, your fantasy team earns points…and the team with the most points wins. Awesome right?
Being the athletic supporter I am (and since I'm a dreamer)….I Love This Game. I mean really, where else can you enjoy pretending to coach a team full of pro-football superstars against a friends/co-workers imaginary team of pro-football superstars? The other day I was worried that fantasy football would make me look like a dork when someone called it World of Warcraft Football. But it's nothing like that, since there aren't any horses or swords or Mr T's Mohawk grenades. Let's face it, once we left high school, most of us can no longer put on the helmet and pads without hurting something vital. Unless we want to rant about our high school days like Al Bundy, …this'll have to do.
Apparently the JACK-fm management has caught fantasy football fever, and has hired our own fantasy guru by the name of Mean Johnny Greene. He has his own webpage & everything. He does have football knowledge, but he's so mean...why does he have to be so mean? Why can't he be more like these fantasy experts? Here's the kicker, Mean Johnny Greene is in my fantasy football league. He not a very nice person so I will take pleasure in destroying his silly little football team this year.
Oops, all this fantasy football talk I almost forgot to lay down the mop of justice on the kitchen floors. C-ya.
Here's Mean Johnny Greene's "so-called" expertese on the fantasy draft.

Anyone ever done this in Zone 8, or at all? I have 2 large south-facing, protected brick areas, and I'm thinking these 2 trees would be perfect. I already have them and dread bringing them in for winter, hate keeping up with them in pots, etc.
I think they're a good size for not colliding with the eaves of the house. I've never done this before, and I cannot find an espalier board. Should I allow them to establish for several weeks before pruning, or go an entire season or what? I definitely don't want to kill them, but they both seem to be tough plants. |
Follow-Up Postings:
g'day missinformation, can't see why it wouldn't work, citrus do like a mediterannean climate that is hot and dry summer and cold winters, should be plenty of books at the library on espaliering fruit trees. did you do a google at all? len |
Here is a link that might be useful: len's garden page
I don't know much if anything about the Mexican Lime. Meyer Lemon can be pretty hardy. The in-laws have one that grows like a bush. They live near Ocala, FL. The Meyer has been damaged by cold some years there but it has survived the damage without extra protection. I'm a couple hours further south and a Meyer Lemmon tree would have no problem outside here with the current climate. We also have grapefruit, Tangerine and another unknown tree. Keep in mind that hardiness zones fluctuate over time with climate change and other factors. If you can provide extra protection if hard freezes are forcasted to happen, then keeping them outside against that protect wall may be safe. If you are hoping that the wall will be enough, you might be risking your citrus. I don't know exactly where you are other than zone 8. Espaliering a tree doesn't change it's hardiness per-say. It is the protected location that can help. Most info I've seen about espaliering was to do with more northerly trees like apples, pears, etc. Good luck, I'm sure after a few years such trees would become too heavy to happily move indoors for the cold snaps. |

Miss I: Citrus are very hardy in the right environment. Google Just Fruits and Exotics and check out that nursery's inventory and growing advice. They're about 30 miles from my farm and are real experts on small-scale fruit production. Great folks. Hey, drop me an email if you have a second. I have some pretty cool chickens I want to tell you about, and I want to send you a few free chicks for your subversive urban poultry experiment. firstname.lastname@example.com |

Gripping the club is the most basic act in golf, yet there are many variations in grip styles. The two most common are the interlocking grip and the overlapping (or Vardon) grip. Let's examine the pros and cons of each.
The interlocking golf grip style finds the right pinky finger locked between the index and middle fingers of the left hand (for a right-handed golfer). Proponents point to its use by Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods – arguably the two greatest players in history – as evidence of the interlocking grip's superiority.
The interlocking grip is widely recommended for players with small hands and/or short fingers (like Nicklaus), as well as beginners and those who lack forearm strength. It's especially popular among LPGA tour professionals.
The Vardon grip, named for its originator, English legend Harry Vardon, is formed by placing the right pinky finger on top of the seam between the left index and middle fingers. Ben Hogan was among the advocates of overlapping, and it remains the grip of choice for a majority of amateurs and pros.
Overlapping golf grippers believe this style promotes better wrist action and allows a freer, more powerful release of the club through impact.
The bottom line: Test both techniques and go with the one that feels most comfortable.

Originally published at Newsweek by Jeff Stein on 1/14/15
Just before Christmas, former FBI special agent Mark Rossini greeted me with his usual good cheer when we met for drinks in a midtown Manhattan restaurant. He told me his life had finally taken a turn for the better. He's spending most of his time in Switzerland, where he works for a private global corporate-security firm. "Life's good," he said.
Good, but with a few major changes. Rossini was drinking club soda instead of the expensive cabernets he quaffed when I first knew him as a high-flying FBI official in Washington a decade ago, when he was a special assistant to the bureau's chief spokesman, John Miller (now with the New York City Police Department). "I've cut back," he said. "Feeling good."
But when I ask him how he's really doing, the light in his eyes dims. "Well, you know, I still miss the job," he said, shaking his head. A boneheaded move—showing confidential FBI documents to his actress-flame Linda Fiorentino, who said she was researching a script about L.A. wiretapper extraordinaire Anthony Pellicano—cost him his career in 2008 and nearly landed him in jail.
"What's past is past," he said. But not all of it. He quickly told me of an encounter the day before on a street in Yonkers, where he keeps an apartment. He'd run into a close family friend who'd lost relatives at the World Trade Center on 9/11. "Mark," she… Continue reading

Right after 9/11, I remember talking to my women's group and saying I just don't think this could have happened without someone knowing about it and allowing it to," says Fran Shure. "It was totally intuitive, because I knew nothing. And that was received with a lot of censoring remarks. I just looked at them and said, you know, I have the right to think the unthinkable and I'm going to look into this. And lo and behold, a video came my way and then a book and I was in shock, like most people would be, reading about evidence that showed we were not told the truth about what happened on 9/11."
A retired psychotherapist and landscape designer who successfully juggled both professions for 30 years, Shure grew up in Texas and has spent most of her life in Colorado. The many causes she has championed include working for a freeze on nuclear weapons, the anti-globalization movement, and recently, the Colorado Community Rights Amendment allowing communities to exclude heavy industry (such as fracking) from their communities, due to deep concerns about fracking's largely untested consequences for the environment. Initial doubts about what really happened on 9/11 and her subsequent inquiry ultimately spurred a kind of spiritual metamorphosis that continues to this day.

Since the early days after the Sept. 11 attacks, when news emerged that most of the airline hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, dark allegations have lingered about official Saudi ties to the terrorists. Fueling the suspicions: 28 still-classified pages in a congressional inquiry on 9/11 that raise questions about Saudi financial support to the hijackers in the United States prior to the attacks.
Both the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama have refused to declassify the pages on grounds of national security. But critics, including members of Congress who have read the pages in the tightly guarded, underground room in the Capitol where they are held, say national security has nothing to do with it. U.S. officials, they charge, are trying to hide the double game that Saudi Arabia has long played with Washington, as both a close ally and petri dish for the world's most toxic brand of Islamic extremism.
One of the most prominent critics is former Florida Senator Bob Graham, a Democrat who co-chaired the joint investigation of the House and Senate intelligence committees into the Sept. 11 attacks. On Wednesday, in a press conference with two current members of Congress and representatives of families who lost loved ones in the attacks, he will once again urge the Obama administration to declassify the pages—a move the White House has previously rebuffed.
"There are a lot of rocks out there that have been purposefully tamped down, that if… Continue reading
Stand up and be counted: Make this one of your New Year's resolutions. Revel in your courage to stand up for truth and justice and be counted.
If you have been paying attention to what is going on in this country, you know that the 9/11 attacks have been used again and again as the justification for policies that contradict core American values. Endless war, torture and warrantless surveillance do not reflect the values of the overwhelming majority of people who inhabit the land of the free and home of the brave. These policies echo the values of a morally bankrupt elite who control our governing institutions.
Our government repeatedly violates the self-evident truths expressed by our Declaration of Independence: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The contradiction between word and deed produces an intentional societal paralysis. Individuals feel helpless. Powerlessness and apathy make it possible for authoritarianism to flourish. Manufactured divisions obscure our common interests from ourselves, shifting our attention away from those who benefit and wield unchecked power.
If you have educated yourself about 9/11, you know that the issue tends to act as a portal through which you discover a hidden history. It is one of many rabbit holes that can lead to a re-evaluation of what passes for "history."

The cost of US war-making in the 13 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks reached a whopping $1.6 trillion in 2014, according to a recent report by the Congressional Research Service (CRS).
The $1.6 trillion in war spending over that time span includes the cost of military operations, the training of security forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, weapons maintenance, base support, reconstruction, embassy maintenance, foreign aid, and veterans' medical care, as well as war-related intelligence operations not tracked by the Pentagon. The report tracks expenses through September, the end of the government's 2014 fiscal year. Here's a breakdown of where most of that money went:
How taxpayer dollars were spent on Iraq, Afghanistan, and other war-related activities
counter-terror | US military bases |
The key factor determining the cost of war during a given period over the last 13 years has been the number of US troops deployed, according to the report. The number of troops in Afghanistan peaked in 2011, when 100,000 Americans were stationed there. The number of US armed forces in Iraq reached a high of about 170,000 in 2007.
Although Congress enacted across-the-board spending cuts in March… Continue reading

Fifty years from now, when a history of the 9/11 attacks can be written from a suitable distance, it probably will be observed that the chief damage done to this nation wasn't the destruction of landmark buildings or even the loss of nearly 3,000 lives, but the further searing of our collective conscience.
We devolved from — in our own opinions, at least — the most civilized country on Earth, the chief guardians of human rights, to medieval torturers.
Earlier this month, the Senate Intelligence Committee finally released its report on the government's use of systematic abuse against suspected terrorists, dozens of whom were later discovered to be innocent.
We've long known about Abu Ghraib, and about the Bush-Cheney White House memos declaring "enhanced interrogation techniques" lawful (although they violated 200-plus years of American precedents, as well as international laws we'd promoted).
Turns out the post-9/11 torture program went beyond anything we'd previously been told, both in scope and in sadism.
Yet it appears that, other than outraged op-eds here and there from squawking pundits, the collective American response has been a shrug of the shoulders.
In a CBS poll, almost half of us (49 percent) said techniques such as waterboarding are sometimes OK; only 36 percent said torture is never justifiable.
Some 73 percent of Republicans — hey, isn't this the party with the devoutly Christian base? — think torturing prisoners can be justified.
Maybe we should survey… Continue reading

Nell McCarthy, the deputy special master of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, pointed to two boxes. One contained files about 2 inches thick; the other, a file about 2 feet thick.
That, she said in the fund's nondescript Washington, D.C., offices, showed the range of differences among claims filed by 9/11 responders.
The thinner file was submitted online by a former first responder in law enforcement who had hired an experienced lawyer. The second was filed by a former deliveryman for a restaurant — with no attorney — and included entire notebooks containing handwritten statements in nearly indecipherable block printing that often spilled over and encircled the pages.
Both received compensation, McCarthy said. But the first — who recently died of brain cancer — was a fairly straightforward case and it took eight months to determine his compensation. The second — who for a time called the VCF help line every day, even on the weekends — was not so straightforward. That claim took 2½ years to resolve.
"I am really proud of the work we did with him," McCarthy said of the second claimant, who still calls the VCF.
McCarthy — a former White House staffer who herself… Continue reading

The anthrax attacks that followed those of 9/11 have disappeared from public memory in ways analogous to the pulverization of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center Building 7. For the towers, at least, ghostly afterimages persist, albeit fading like last night's nightmare. But the anthrax attacks, clearly linked to 9/11 and the Patriot Act, are like lost letters, sent, but long forgotten. Such disappearing acts are a staple of American life these days. Memory has come upon hard times.
With The 2001 Anthrax Deception, Professor Graeme MacQueen, founding Director of the Center for Peace Studies at McMaster University, calls us back to a careful reconsideration of the anthrax attacks. It is an eloquent and pellucid lesson in inductive reasoning and deserves to stand with David Ray Griffin's brilliant multi-volume dissection of the truth of that tragic September 11th. MacQueen makes a powerful case for the linkage of both events, a tie that binds both to insider elements deep within the U.S. government, perhaps in coordination with foreign elements.
MacQueen's thesis is as follows: The criminal anthrax attacks were conducted by a group of conspirators deep within the U.S. government who are linked to, or identical with, the 9/11 perpetrators. Their purpose was to redefine the Cold War into the Global War on Terror and in doing so… Continue reading

Earlier this week, a real estate attorney from Coeur d'Alene stood up in front of a three-judge panel in Seattle's Ninth Circuit courthouse to argue Smith vs. Obama—a case challenging NSA surveillance that began back in Idaho, and could be the one that ends up before the US Supreme Court.
It was the first time the attorney, Peter Smith, had appeared before the Ninth Circuit—as another lawyer once said to me, "the Ninth Circuit ain't beanbag"—or done anything like it. Smith later said in a phone interview that he and his wife Anna were troubled by the 2013 Guardian stories about Edward Snowden and the NSA and had "an interesting discussion about what that means… Anna didn't feel right." So Smith did some research about the legality of the NSA's bulk-collection programs and decided he had grounds to challenge them. Depending on how the Ninth Circuit rules, Mr. Smith could eventually go to Washington.
"Anna is my wife," Smith started his statement to the judges. (You can watch the arguments by Smith and counter-argument from Department of Justice lawyer H. Thomas Byron III in the video below.) "She is also a neonatal intensive care nurse. She's a mother. And ten years ago, Anna's government began a dragnet collection of her call records. Those call records reveal detailed information about Anna when analyzed in the aggregate—"

The full extent of the CIA's interrogation and detention programmes launched in the wake of the September 11 terror attack was laid bare in a milestone report by the Senate intelligence committee on Tuesday that concluded the agency's use of torture was brutal and ineffective – and that the CIA repeatedly lied about its usefulness.
The report represented the most scathing congressional indictment of the Central Intelligence Agency in nearly four decades. It found that torture "regularly resulted in fabricated information," said committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, in a statement summarizing the findings. She called the torture programme "a stain on our values and on our history".
"During the brutal interrogations, the CIA was often unaware the information was fabricated." She told the Senate the torture program was "morally, legally and administratively misguided" and "far more brutal than people were led to believe".
The report reveals that use of torture in secret prisons run by the CIA across the world was even more extreme than previously exposed, and included "rectal rehydration" and… Continue reading

Politicians and pundits often use terrorism to promote the interests of their financiers. This fear mongering goes hand in hand with attempts at war profiteering, population control, and the concentration of political power. What many are beginning to discover is that deception is integral to the success of the terrorism business. That is, the official accounts of terrorist events are typically fraught with omissions of fact and the concealment of clues that point to the involvement of more powerful people. The success of these false accounts reveals important aspects of human nature and points to ways in which thoughtful people can help to overcome such challenges.
There will always be a few people greedy enough to lie to others for personal gain, but we can live with this. What we can't live with is large numbers of people lying to themselves because habitual self-deception is fatal. Long-term successful lies require motivated liars but also willing listeners and when millions or billions of citizens engage in such duplicity they make it difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to survive.
It's common to see people blaming the government or the media for lying and taking advantage. That's not surprising because, in general, politicians are highly evolved lying machines and the media is rewarded for telling the majority what they want to hear in ways that promote business interests. But what is really needed to overcome that pattern is to examine how lies told by… Continue reading

When neighbors went trick-or-treating at Terry Lee Loewen's house in Wichita last Halloween, they saw a quiet, unobtrusive, "normal" man. Two months later, federal authorities said they'd seen through the disguise and found a jihadist hiding in the suburbs.
Loewen "planned to die as a martyr" and was charged with trying to drive an explosives-laden vehicle onto the tarmac at Mid-Continent Airport, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said at the time of the arrest. An avionics technician, the then-58-year-old Loewen was really working on behalf of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, according to the authorities.
Yet contradictions in the government account suggest there might be considerably more to know about Terry Loewen and his alleged plot. Was Loewen a Walter Mitty whose dark daydreams bloomed into reality, as the FBI says? Or was he just a hapless suburbanite who chose the wrong online fantasy life?
The official story is this: Loewen decided to engage in terrorism only six months before his arrest, and immediately began devoting all his time to preparations for becoming a "lone wolf" suicide bomber. A letter allegedly written by Loewen and released by the FBI gave the reasons for his radical change of heart: "My only explanation is that I believe in jihad for the sake of Allah + for the sake of my Muslim brothers + sisters."
"I expect to be called a terrorist (which I am), a psychopath,… Continue reading

A decade after the 9/11 Commission suggested creating a unified communications network for first responders to use during emergencies, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has finally collected enough money to move forward.
The commission recommended that the federal government create a way for police and firefighters from different jurisdictions to communicate with each other in a crisis—something they couldn't do during the response to the 9/11 attacks.
Congress got into the act two years ago by passing legislation that authorized the FCC to reserve certain broadcast frequencies for public safety use.
The FCC, though, was left on its own to find funding for the new network, called FirstNet. So the commission auctioned off a band of wireless frequencies to telecommunications companies, which netted more than $11 billion to establish FirstNet.
The FCC only needs about $7 billion for the project, so the rest of the money is expected to go towards paying down the national debt.
Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Dish Network all registered to bid on the wireless spectrum, but the FCC has not announced the winners of the auction.
For additional background and context regarding interoperable communications, please see:

NEW CANAAN, Conn. (WTNH)– New Canaan's Mary Fetchet lost her son Brad on September 11, 2001. He had called her husband right after the first tower was hit; he was on the 89th floor of tower 2. That was the last time they heard from their 24-year-old son.
Fetchet, a social worker by trade, though grieving, started mobilizing to help other families and founded a 9/11 advocacy non-profit organization called Voices of September 11th.
She also launched the 9-11 Living Memorial Project so that the stories of those who perished could be told.
"We've collected over 70,000 images telling the story of the life of the person who died, not focusing on death, and it was a very therapeutic process for the families because with each photograph came a story or a remembrance of their loved one and the life that they shared with them," said Fetchet. "I think that is one of the most important projects that we've worked on, and we've shared copies of each of those photographs with the museum, so it's a major contribution to the memoriam exhibit that's at the 9/11 Museum in New York City."
"When somebody dies they're with you every moment," said Fetchet. "It's different somebody's alive, they're with you when they're with you, so I certainly feel that Brad and other people have provided some guidance along the way."
Fetchet also campaigned for the creation of the independent 9/11 Commission… Continue reading

Dear Supporter,
Several impressive developments over the last 18 months have lifted the 9/11 truth message into the mainstream news and public awareness. These developments include the Rethink911 campaign, CNN's coverage of the alternative 9/11 Museum Guide and outreach effort, Richard Gage's interview on C-SPAN, the debut of The Anatomy of a Great Deception, and the huge video billboard in Times Square depicting the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.
Now there's a new opportunity that holds great promise.
Join Ray McGovern, Ramsey Clark, and 9/11 family member Terry Strada in New York City on Saturday, November 22, in their call to:
End America's Blindness . . . Restore Its Vision . . . Open the 28 Pages
The reference to 28 pages relates to congressional bill H.R. 428, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC). It calls for the release of 28 pages that were redacted (actually, excised) from the Joint Congressional Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001. The Joint Inquiry report dates back to 2002. Shortly after Rep. Jones' bill was introduced last December, a group of 46 U.S. senators wrote to President Bush requesting that the 28 pages be declassified and made public. Ever since, former U.S. Sen. Robert Graham (D-FL), who chaired the Joint Inquiry committee, has continued to demand the… Continue reading

The first person to fire a Hellfire missile from a Predator drone in combat and destroy a target writes here about his experience. Scott Swanson has never written about this before. Read on. The Editor.
Flying a Predator drone in combat is nothing like playing a video game. Take it from me, the first person to pull the trigger in a lethal missile strike from a Predator.
As one of the early Air Force pilots to fly that Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, or UAV, I cringe when people make snide comments about the "Chair Force." No, the pilot of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft can't hear his plane's engine, feel its motion, or smell that airplane smell; and yes, he (or she) has a joystick and throttle and a couple of TV screens in front of him. But there the comparison ends. Mentally, the pilot is inside a Predator, though the drone is half a world away. Emotionally, he is at war.
That was exactly how I felt one day in September 2000 when I saw Osama Bin Laden—or UBL, as we knew him—live on our Predator's video screen. I was sitting in the pilot's seat in our Ground Control Station (GCS) much of that afternoon. My sensor operator steering the camera was Master Sgt. Jeff Guay. As I orbited our Predator over Tarnak Farms, a dusty jumble of buildings in a mud-walled compound just outside Kandahar, Afghanistan,… Continue reading

In a greedy grab for blood money, a law firm representing sick and dying Ground Zero workers overbilled its legal partner by $36 million in expenses, newly released court papers allege.
The shocking charges call into question the estimated $50 million in additional legal expenses billed to 10,000 firefighters, police officers, construction workers and others who received more than $700 million in settlements for 9/11-related ailments.
An advocate for ill responders — John Feal, a Ground Zero demolition supervisor — demanded Napoli Bern be investigated by authorities.
"It's outrageous and disgusting," said Feal, claiming the majority of complaints he hears about legal representation relate to Napoli Bern.
The once-prestigious personal-injury law firm has been rocked by infighting over allegations of sexual improprieties and financial misconduct.
Napoli Bern has also been battling its partner law firm, Worby Groner, since 2012 over legal fees they shared in the 9/11 litigation. The two firms teamed up in 2004 to represent Ground Zero workers afflicted with cancer and other ailments.
The total settlements with the city and other defendants came to about $725 million. Before the 9/11 workers got their checks, though, various costs were deducted. The law firms then got a 25 percent cut of the remainder.

High-heeled shoes biggest advocate, Victoria Beckham, has been banned from wearing high shoes at New York Fashion Week. The 37-year-old designer is suffering from a slipped disc in her back after
"Although her heel-wearing wasn't the cause of her back problems, stilettos don't help her condition. Victoria has been frantically surfing the web for an acceptable pair of flats, ones which don't make her look like a golf club." However, the former Spice Girls singer is focusing on looking after Harper, who soccer star husband David Beckham has to lift at present, despite her shoe disaster. The source added, "She's not relishing the prospect of not wearing heels, but at the moment her main priority is looking after Harper and getting herself fixed."
Although the mother-of-four has previously been seen in flat shoes, she has expressed a dislike of them. She said, "I beyond hate ballerina flats—I can't even walk in them."

I have a Forsythia plant that just doesn't seem to be doing all that well. I've watered it properly and mulched it. Most recently I added some compost to it but it's still hasn't done anything to really help. I would feed it miracle grow food every few weeks but that hasn't helped either. The leaves are limp and no matter what I try these just don't perk up as it used to. It's a young plant that I got earlier this year. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks |

Have you checked the moisture content of the original rootball? If so, is it dry, moist or wet? Likely you need to drizzle water directly onto the original rootball. |

No. Stick your finger into the rootball where it now is. |
- Posted by lisanti07028 z6NJ (My Page) on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 17:17
When was it planted, and was it purchased as a potted or bare-root plant, or was it dug up and given to you? Basically, how much of the root mass was lost before you planted it. |

I would feed it miracle grow food every few weeks but that hasn't helped either. I assume you meant I did feed it every two weeks - You have over fertilized your plant. - this will inhibit the roots from taking up water. OR CAUSE IT TO WILT. STOP the MG. Hopefully it survived the summer fertilizer treatment. And the soil is not flushed free of the N P K. I rarely fertilize my plants, and when I do it is a granular organic fertilizer. |

Is there any mulch below the surface? (There shouldn't be unless/until it naturally it works itself there.) These few chips of wood do not constitute having mulched. That would require at least 1 whole bag in a circle around the tree, as far out as it will spread at a depth of 2-5 inches, depending on average particle size. For pieces of wood that size, I'd go with a thick layer, and probably 2 bags, making a circle at least as wide as the drip-line of the canopy. There's never a wrong time to add a layer of mulch, unless the ground is muddy and you're trampling footprints. However, looks like there's some grass trying to creep in on what you already cleared for this planting. If you put a layer of overlapping cardboard around the base (no closer than necessary to suppress what's growing around it,) under the mulch, you won't have to worry about the grass growing up through the mulch, which it certainly will if not smothered or pulled first. Then installing a little border around the mulch, to separate grass area from mulch area, will keep both on their side of the line. |

In April of 2011, a group of friends on a fishing trip—all veterans of the hospitality industry—got to talking about their love of food as they cooked their dinner around a campfire. The smoky flavors, crackling flames, and friendship merged into an idea to create a barbecue joint with traditional Southern comfort fare and an interactive dessert element.
Today, diners pile into wood-backed booths to dig into ribs slathered in house sauce, smoked sausages, and a menu stocked with homestyle fare. From three types of mac 'n' cheese—traditional, broccoli, and pulled pork—to fresh-ground burgers made with short ribs, brisket, and ground chuck, the kitchen crew crafts its own takes on classic comfort fare as flat-screen TVs flicker above the bar. The dessert section includes do-it-yourself s'mores that are toasted tableside by a portable burn pit and touted as "the only dessert in town that requires a disclaimer," an honor previously held by torch-it-yourself crème brûlée.
Mr. D's sauce-wielding chefs seal juicy flavor into slow roasted meats with delicious hickory smoke and tangy barbecue flavors to create a massive smokehouse menu. Drizzled barbecue clings like an entourage of flavor to the smoldering meat of the St. Louis style ribs ($12.99 half slab), seared in the heat of hickory flames and public adoration. The pulled beef brisket ($8.79 half pound) overtakes plates with mountainous piles and saucy altitudes, scaled by the brave, buttery crunch of the fried corn on the cob ($3.95). In an act of nutritious comeuppance, sweet teeth sink into the sugary candied yams ($3.95), finally fooled into eating a vegetable. Tikes and toddlers can order fist-sized portions off the children's menu, while entire clans share the spoils found in family meals.
After Al Boyce retired from playing football for the Kansas City Chiefs, a new world was calling to him: the rib-sticking world of soul food. After starting his first venture in Kansas City, Boyce began populating the Atlanta area with southern cooking in the form of Chazz?s Place, a pair of eateries named after his son. Al?s Barbeque is his fourth restaurant, where the scent of slow-smoked boneless meat sluices through the air and induces salivation like a rabbit placed in front of Elmer Fudd. Heaping plates of shrimp and grits compete for attention with barbecue ribs, pork chops, and chicken that?s grilled or southern-fried with buttermilk. Housemade sides of collard greens, baked beans, and black-eyed peas round out each meal.
In huge, bold red letters, a sign on the street-facing side of Ms. Betty's House of Ribs proclaims ?BBQ.? It?s an old-fashioned invitation to sample some of the rib-shack recipes that rightfully hold a beloved position in the pantheon of southern cuisine. Inside, pit-masters slow roast hefty slabs of ribs and serve whole and half chickens with the restaurant?s signature sauce. The grills are kept in a screened-in porch so passersby can smell the flavorful smoke and hear chefs shout when the meat gets too delicious.
Forget the dry, overcooked turkey lurking untouched in the center of your holiday table. Today's side deal to Black Tie Barbecue puts a succulent, fully cooked, hickory-smoked turkey on your Thanksgiving table for $30, a $95 value. The friendly caterers at Black Tie Barbecue have never had an embarrassing Thanksgiving and want to share their success with your family. They'll fully prepare a 10- to 12-pound bird to juicy, smoky perfection for you to pick up between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25, at Phipps Plaza. Serve your bird chilled, or follow Black Tie's handy reheating instructions to fool your family into believing you've done it yourself.

This is going to hurt for a while. WMU had the higher ranked Pioneers down 2-0 with five minutes left in the third period headed for an upset win when Denver scored twice in under two minutes to send the game to overtime. Jason Zucker (Minnesota Wild) scored the game winner in the extra session for Denver, who will move on to play North Dakota for the right to represent the Midwest Region in the Frozen Four.
Witkowski's sophomore season comes to an end in disappointing fashion, but the big rearguard made great strides in his second year with WMU. He was one of the Broncos' leaders on defense and played big minutes. Witkowski tied for the team lead in penalty minutes and was tops in plus/minus. He's got a great future ahead of him.
