About Me Budget shopper
Comments about Giant Poinsettia:
I think the poinsettia is SO pretty -- just love it! The red flowers and green leaves are so bright and vivid, and there's a lot of them. It's really nice and full and the overall size is perfect. You won't think much of it when you first open the package, but once you start to "play" with it and fan out the flowers and leaves, you'll love watching it get prettier and prettier. We always shine a spotlight on our front door and porch at Christmas and this poinsettia is really going to pop. Well worth the money.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great for my use
By Usually a Scrooge
from Jacksonville, FL
I purchased 6 when on sale despite some negative reviews. I had fun shaping each one to my liking and decorated an outdoor fence which added daytime color when outdoor lights were off. They came through like champs after heavy rain storms. Very pleased and plan to order 6 more!

poinsettia review
By cat
from Maine
I was a little dissapointed with the looks of the item. The coloring wasn't what I expected. I think it needs some glitter on it to make it more attractive.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Disappointed in this product
By Joellen
from new york, ny
Not useable for decoratingvery disappointed in quality of materialPicture in catalog is very misleading
not sure
By retired at home
from West Monroe,LA
Want to use it to decorate my house,but the stem is such that it can not be hung on the windows or door. the stem is not flexible. All I can do is sit it in a book case.
I'm buying more of these!
By Love a bargain
from Voorhees, NJ
Purchased this poinsettia years ago and was glad to see I can purchase it again. For the price, I didn't expect it to be 'life like' but I hang it in the corner of my ceilings in the living room and it is very attractive. Up front, no it isn't beautiful, but at a distance, it packs a punch.Also, I wouldn't say it requires 'assembly'...all you do is arrange the leaves, flowers and when Christmas is over put them back the way they came; they fold up neatly and store nicely.
Assembly required
By Spikedblonde
from Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Unfortunately, this item did not come fully assembled. It arrived in a plastic bag and is a large "floral pick", where you have to arrange it to try and make it look like the picture in the catalog. Catalog should say assembly or arrangement required. Haven't decided yet whether to keep it or return it. Quite disappointing.
By TheHouseFairie
from Oswego, Illinois
I LOVE this wall decor. It folds down on to itself for storage. I'll put it right on the front of my house. The colors are great especially if it is near some type of light source like a spotlight or porch light, etc.

Located in the
heart of Illinois' largest concentration of natural lakes, Chain O'Lakes
State Park is a water oriented recreation area with outstanding opportunities
for boaters, anglers and skiers. The park borders three natural lakes
- Grass, Marie and Nippersink - and the Fox River that connects the other
seven lakes (Bluff, Fox, Pistakee, Channel, Petite, Catherine and Redhead)
that make up the Chain. In addition, the park contains a 44-acre lake
within its boundaries.
The 2,793 acre state
park and adjoining 3,230 acre conservation area are located in the northeastern
corner of Illinois in both McHenry and Lake counties. The park is 60 miles
northwest of Chicago, 20 miles west of Lake Michigan and only 4 miles
south of the Illinois/Wisconsin border. With nearly 6,500 acres of water
and 488 miles of shoreline on the Chain, Chain O'Lakes State Park is the
heart of a water wonderland.
The Chain O'Lakes
area was inhabited by central Algonquian Tribes when Europeans first arrived
in the Mid-1600s. The predominant tribes in the region at that time were
the Miami, Mascouten and Potawatomi. These Native American groups led
a semi-mobile lifestyle and grew corn, hunted, fished and gathered wild
plant foods.
Joliet and Marquette
passed through what became Chain O'Lakes State Park in 1673 as they
traveled the Fox River during their Illinois explorations. French trappers
and traders were the first Europeans to explore the area. The first European
settlement was at Fort Hill, near Mundelein, a large mound rising out
of the prairie, formerly a lookout point for Native Americans.
Chain O'Lakes became
a state park in 1945, when the State of Illinois made an initial purchase
of 840 acres. In the 1930s a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp became
the Chain O'Lakes Conservation Area. This land was incorporated into the
state park in 1957. A farm at the park purchased by the Department
of Conservation in 1969 was originally owned by the Stevens
family, farmers who received the land under a land grant in 1843.
Chain O'Lakes State Park is open every day except Christmas. Summer hours, April 1 thru the last weekend of October, are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. During the winter the park is open from 8 a.m. until sunset. The park is closed for all activities, except hunting, from the beginning of November until December 26th.
The park is for everyone
to enjoy, so help keep it clean. Place all litter in trash containers.
Special recycling receptacles for aluminum cans are located in the Honey
Suckle Hollow Camp Area. Other recycling receptacles are available in
various locations throughout the park.
The park features
seven picnic areas with tables, water fountains, grills and toilets. Oak
Grove, Maple Grove and Oak Point have playground equipment. Oak Point,
Deer Path, Oak Grove and Catfish Cove have picnic shelters. Reservations
and a $25 fee are required for shelters. Groups of 25 or more must secure
advanced written permission for picnics from the Park Office.
Chain O'Lakes has
four trail systems. The Nature's Way hiking trail starts at Oak Grove
Picnic Area and is 2 ¼ miles in length. The Pike Marsh North Picnic
Area has an accessible trail that is ¼
mile long. The park also contains an equestrian trail with three loops
and a total length of 8 miles. Visitors can bring in their own horses
for enjoyment on the trail. A parking lot for horse trailers with access
to the equestrian trails is located near the park entrance. A biking/hiking
trail, 6 miles in length, can be accessed at any picnic area between the
concession stand and the park office. All trails can be
used by cross-country skiers.
The horse concession is located in the park ¼ mile from the entrance. Guided rides are available from early spring thru the end of the camping season. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.daily (including weekends). Wagon rides are available with advance notice. Contact the horse concession directly at (815)675-6532 or www.chainolakesstable.com.
| Campground Maps
The park has Class
A-Premium areas (Honey Suckle Hollow
and Fox Den) with a total of 151
sites. Sites are for $25 per night, except on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day weekends when the fee is $35 per night. Three Class B-Premium camp areas (Turner
Lake South, Prairie View and Mud Lake East) have a total
of 87 sites for $12 each per night. One youth group camp area
(Mud Lake West) will accomodate 150 youths with a fee of $2 per person (minimum $20 per night). Maximum stay at campsites is
14 nights in a 30 day period. A responsible adult (18 years of age or
older) acquiring a permit must have a camp shelter and set up at the time
of registration. All campers must have a permit (receipt for payment). Gathering of firewood from the park is strictly prohibited! Alcohol is prohibited
in the campgrounds. Campsites are available for reserving. Reservations are accepted through Reserve America at www.reserveamerica.com.
Dump Station
There is a $5 dumping fee for non-registered campers.
A Cabin
Three cabins, consisting
of two bunk beds and a double bed, can be rented for $50 per night (which
inlcudes a $5 non-refundable reservation fee). Equipment provided: electric,
table and six chairs, picnic table, cooking/fire grill,dust pan, broom
and fire extinguisher. No restroom facilities are provided in cabin. Dogs
and other pets are not allowed at cabin site. Reservations are recommended.
Rent A Cabin
Reservations are available for camp sites, cabins, youth groups and shelters. A non-refundable reservation fee of $5 plus camping fee is required to reserve campsites, Rent A Cabins and youth groups. Shelters are $25, non-refundable.

There is no charge to launch boats at the park, nor is there any horsepower limitations on boats using any of the Chain O' Lakes. Only electric trolling motors only are allowed on Turner Lake, a 44-acre lake inside the park. All watercraft must comply with State of Illinois Watercraft rules and regulations.

Among the popular
fish available to anglers in the Chain O' Lakes are bluegill, largemouth
bass, walleye, crappie, muskie, northern pike, bullhead, catfish and yellow
and white bass. Due to the marshy nature of much of the park's shoreline,
most fishing takes place from boats or fishing piers.
Dove, waterfowl, archery
deer and permit pheasant hunting are available at the park. Hunting fact
sheets, containing all hunting regulations, are available at the park office.
All hunting is by registration only.

An archery range for target practice is located on Rt. 173 West of the Fox River for target practice. The range and trail are open May 16th until the beginning of the hunting season (closing date varies). Hours are 8 a.m. – sunset.
Ice fishing is a popular activity when the temperature drops and the ice thickens. Trails, including the horse trails, can be used for cross-country skiing, however, the trails are not groomed. A sledding hill is located near the park office.
for the Disabled
The Pike Marsh North
Picnic Area has been developed to provide accessibility for disabled and/or
elderly visitors, including a quarter-mile hiking trail.
land making up Chain O'Lakes State Park is chiefly fresh waterbog over
deep peat deposits. The river bluff areas and gently sloping morainal
hills rise to 200 feet, and were deposited by Illinois' last glacier.
Chain O' Lakes has
a mixture of oak and hickory hardwood timber. The park also contains cherry,
elm, birch, sumac and spruce, providing rich colors that attract numerous visitors
each fall, plus some scattered pine plantings.
Nature lovers will
find a rich assortment of wildflowers in the spring, summer and fall.
Historically, Grass Lake once was
almost entirely covered with American lotus each summer, and attracted
great crowds, including tour boats. Today, some
areas of lotus remain within the lake.
Two hundred acres
of restored native prairie provide nesting habitat for grassland bird
species and abundant backdrops for nature photographers.
Some of the wildlife
park visitors are likely to encounter are white-tailed deer, rabbits,
ground squirrels, chipmunks, mink, opossum, skunks, raccoons, gophers,
foxes, badgers, beaver, coyotes and groundhogs. A check-list of the nearly

Rock candy sticks are often tied with ribbon around the warm wooden ball handles for swizzle sticks in champagne and cocktail drinks adding a tasteful touch. Glass jars and decorative vases filled with rock candy enhances a color theme. Also they do well for holding candles, building centerpieces and are fun just spread loosely on the center of a table cloth for an added touch.
Ribbon tied to a name tag or "thank you for coming" on a rock candy stick makes an inviting place card setting or accent to a table. Hanging rock candy from a ceiling mounted light fixture can add luster to a room giving the illusion of a hanging crystal chandelier. Flower topiaries are beautiful made from rock candy sticks and are always a winning crowd-pleaser.
Rock candy sticks are a wonderful way to sweeten up a baby shower, tea party, business promotion, birthday, christening, Bar Mitzvah and more, when well set with a warm cup of tea or hot coffee. The rock candy sticks are incredibly tasty stirring sticks giving the event an impressively inviting feel of being extra pampered by an ingenious host.
A candy buffet is always the center of a party. The unusual structure of glittering rock candy is eye catching in a candy buffet adding composition in the arrangement of the surrounding elements.
Rock candy is a tasteful decoration used in bottle fillers and candy jars, supporting candles, pens, flowers, pop-cycle stick notes for added colorful effects to a room.
For little girl princess/mermaid parties and little boy science/pirate parties rock candy is fun for an endless array of edible and party favors ideas such as treasure bags, rhinestones, precious jewels, minerals rocks and more. Glued or frosted, rock candy is enchanting dressing up name tags, paper snow flakes, invitations, menus or thank you cards.
Numerous crafts and works of art are easily created with rock candy and rock candy sticks. Christmas time is especially fun with the effects you can get with rock candy. One craft idea that has become quite a fad among crafters and fun project for kids is hot gluing rock candy to a floral foam cone to create ornamental mini Christmas trees and centerpieces for tables, mantles and gifts.
Rock candy sticks tied with ribbon and hung upside down make a fabulous Christmas tree ornament for a mesmerizing and colorful impression of crystal ice cycles. White candy rocks work really well in decorum and crafts to appear like chunks of icy frozen snow.
Candy rock sticks have been seen tied together for icy sparkling garlands, glimmering flowers and into fascinating glass-like wreaths. Wreaths are wonderful for all occasions and with a little change they suit a variety of holidays and celebrations. If there is a bit of an artist in you clusters of rock candy sticks can easily be formed into so many art forms. The ideas for rock candy are literally endless only limited by the imagination.
Best of all, rock candy is enjoyable for its sweet taste. Rock candy is delicious sprinkled on donuts, topped on frosted cookies and decorated on cakes and cupcakes. For adding a touch of elegance with a sweet inviting atmosphere to your special occasions rock candy and rock candy sticks is a wonderful choice.
Rock Candy Has an Interesting History
Rock candy is a traditional candy that was considered to be therapeutic, used as a medicine or preservative in some cultures for centuries. Rock candy was also used as medicine food and sometimes as a throat soother. In many places rock candy was only affordable to the rich.
In the mid 18th century it became more accepted as a confectionery treat and was called "Sugre Candie". In many countries rock candy is used in cooking. China uses it extensively in their cuisine and liquors. In China rock candy is called "Ice Candy" and is used in tea, meats, fruits and vegetables. The UK, Ireland and Australia flavor rock candy with peppermint or spearmint and call it seaside rock and do not refer to it as a candy. In India people mix aniseed/fennel seeds into rock candy for an after meal mouth freshener. People of the Netherlands bake rock candy into specialty white breads. Thailand is most interesting accepting and giving rock candy as money making bets in pieces and pounds.
Rock candy is rich in history and will continue to create many priceless memories in the future.

EDMONTON - Julia Rouget sits with her kids at a table overlooking the busy pool at Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre. Nine-year-old Sophia and five-year-old Stephan are clearly enjoying their chocolate-dipped, soft vanilla ice cream cones from the Dairy Queen/Orange Julius behind them — a rare treat, says their mom, after Sophia's swimming lesson.
Still, "(having fast food here) doesn't make any sense, right ... because most people come here for health reasons," Rouget, with 17-month-old Amelie on her lap, says laughing.
She notes she's not the only mom who has to fight with kids who emerge thirsty and hungry after suppertime swimming lessons to find the seductive neon glow of the DQ sign staring them in the face.
Rouget doesn't think unhealthy fast foods should be banned from rec centres — "I think there has to be a balance" — but she is bothered by its location. And there should be more, healthier foods to choose from, she says.
She won't get any argument from Dana Olstad, a registered dietitian working on her PhD at the University of Alberta's Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science.
The nutrition researcher surveyed 151 or about 10 per cent of the multiplex recreational facilities in the province and found 80 per cent of the food available from concessions and vending machines is unhealthy. Only six per cent are implementing the Alberta Nutritional Guidelines for Children and Youth introduced in 2008 for voluntary use by schools, child care facilities and recreation facilities.
"We know that rec facilities are doing a great job promoting active living, but just from going into rec centres, you notice that most of the foods are unhealthy," Olstad says.
Even the centres that have implemented the guidelines focus on increasing the availability of healthier items rather than reducing the availability of unhealthy foods, she notes, "because it doesn't really have a big financial impact if they just add items as opposed to taking away fries, which is half of their business, in a lot of cases.
"That is really a big issue because if you sit a child down and say you can have carrots or a chocolate bar, they're going to pick the chocolate bar," she explains, and kids buy half of the food sold at rec centres.
These facilities need to be more active in adopting provincial guidelines, and if they don't, the province should make them mandatory, Olstad says. Even better, they should stop offering unhealthy foods, following the lead of many schools.
Talking to people at the Terwillegar Centre last week, however, shows most don't think government should ban unhealthy food from rec centres, that it should remain an individual choice, but there should be more healthier options.
"It's a free country ... if you don't want to eat (unhealthy food), don't eat it," says 15-year-old Rishi Durupala, finishing a grilled BLT sandwich during a break from playing basketball.
His friend Sai Avuthu, also 15, thinks all the food at the rec centre is unhealthy. If they did away with it, he wouldn't miss it, he says, but "you should never have fast food every day anyway, it's too bad."
Seventeen-year-old Andrew Park eating an ice cream treat and drinking a cola after playing badminton with friend Josh Oh, 17, says it's ironic to find fast food in a place people come to exercise, but people should still have a choice.
"The people who work out know they shouldn't be eating fast food," Park says.
Oh has just finished a chili cheese dog and is spooning down an ice cream treat.
"I didn't have lunch today," he explains. "Yeah, I guess it's bad for you, but this DQ doesn't have burgers and fries which are a lot worse."
Daren Dwernychuk, a City of Edmonton recreation centre manager, explains natural gas and/or exhaust venting systems in leased spaces were purposely left out of the Terwillegar building design to eliminate deep fried and grill fried foods.
Mom Jo Kapeluck, sitting at a nearby table with 12-year-old son Luke doing homework while they wait for little brother Eric to finish his swimming lesson, thinks it's a matter of making good choices most of the time.
Hockey dad Larry Ackerl says it's a family responsibility to choose food wisely.
"There really isn't a need to limit that choice legislatively," he adds. Son, Sam, and his teammates invariably choose to have a healthy smoothie, post-game.
If anybody is eating fries and poutine in a rec centre it's probably younger siblings, Ackerl says. "It's sheer bribery, and grandparents. Generally, it's not the child athlete."
Suzie Marano, whose son Zach also plays hockey, says if an arena has french fries and hamburgers and other fried foods, players usually ask their parents to hunt up less greasy fare for them.
"Parents, supported by coaches, and I think peer pressure too, plays a big role in them eating healthy," she notes.
Marano has worked with athletes and with people trying to achieve weight loss, and her opinion is if unhealthy foods are eliminated from the menu there isn't that desire for kids, families or grandparents to choose it.
"And the excuse that vendors say it will screw up their bottom line (not to be able to sell unhealthy food) is not supported by any evidence whatsoever," she says.
"Childhood obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, and if there isn't something to force parents to start making healthy choices, it's never going to end, it's never going to change," Marano says.

Richie McCaw says the All Blacks won't be taking Saturday's fixture lightly as they view it as a stepping stone to greater achievements.
It may be true that you only defend your World Cup title at the following tournament, but the All Blacks have certainly enhanced their No 1 status with an outstanding and to-date undefeated 2012 campaign.
A convincing win in Argentina last week saw them securing the Rugby Championship title, rendering the final clash with South Africa meaningless as far as that Sanzar competition is concerned.
In the context of the All Blacks' long-term ambitions, however, this Saturday's match in Soweto is massively important.
All Blacks No 8 Kieran Read said on Thursday that a loss to the Boks at this stage would be a substantial setback. It was an extreme statement to make, but on Friday Read's captain confirmed that the entire team feels the same way.
The All Blacks are aiming for a clean sweep in the Rugby Championship. A win against the Boks will also place them in a great position to break that world record for the most consecutive Test wins.
A win against the Boks would taken their tally to 16 victories in a row, and you'd have to believe they would then be favourites to surpass Lithuania's 18. The All Blacks rarely lose in Europe, and with that extra motivation they will be even tougher to topple.
But McCaw and his men realise that to get themselves into a position to break the record, they will first need to overcome a Bok side that is starting to find form.
McCaw said on Friday that the decision to cancel the captain's run at Soccer City was taken to preserve the energy of the players. The team management is mindful of the looming physical fight, and want their charges operating at full intensity.
'We want a full tank for tomorrow,' said McCaw. 'The guys have been training hard this week, at the intensity of what we expect from the Boks. We have had a good first few days this week and now we have decided to take it a bit easier.
'We have to perform well tomorrow or else it [their progress in 2012] will be undone. That's what we need to do first, ensure we produce a good performance. We did it last week in Argentina, but not being able to back it up [in Soweto] would be hugely disappointing.'
Many have asked how the All Blacks could be motivated for a Test that is of no consequence to the outcome of the Rugby Championship. When the question was put to McCaw, a decorated veteran who has tasted some sweet victories and gutting defeats in many match-ups involving the Boks, he explained that there was always something at stake when these two teams clashed.
'If you can't get excited for the Boks, then you should be doing something else with your life really,' he said.
'As good as last week was [the All Blacks beat Argentina 54-15] we were always mindful of the added challenge of coming here for the final game. We've been mentally and physically preparing ourselves for this, and are really looking forward to the contest.'

Witness Iraq has brought a lawsuit against key members of the Bush Administration: George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney, Donald H. Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and Paul Wolfowitz.
In Saleh v. Bush, plaintiff Sundus Shaker Saleh alleges that the Iraq War was a premeditated war against the Iraqi people, the planning of which started in 1998. The war was not conducted in self-defense, did not have the appropriate authorization by the United Nations, and under international law constituted a "crime of aggression" — a crime first set down at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II.

Last summer, Inder Comar, Esq. filed a lawsuit against the Bush Administration on behalf of Iraqi refugee plaintiff Sundus Shaker Saleh. It is a noble attempt to hold the Bush Administration accountable for war crimes and a case that Quiet Mike has been following from the beginning.
Earlier this year, the Department of Justice, who is defending the six Bush Administration officials, responded to the lawsuit by requesting that the case be dismissed. The Bush tribe is claiming that the planning of the war occurred within the scope of their employment and therefore they have immunity.
Rather than dismissing the case, the Judge asked for additional information. So Mr. Comar… Continue reading

During a 2011 investigation, reporters Andrew Becker and G.W. Schulz discovered that, since 9/11, police departments watching over some of the safest places in America have used $34 billion in grant funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to militarize in the name of counterterrorism.
Jason Westcott was afraid.
One night last fall, he discovered via Facebook that a friend of a friend was planning with some co-conspirators to break in to his home. They were intent on stealing Wescott's handgun and a couple of TV sets. According to the Facebook message, the suspect was planning on "burning" Westcott, who promptly called the Tampa Bay police and reported the plot.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, the investigating officers responding to Westcott's call had a simple message for him: "If anyone breaks into this house, grab your gun and shoot to kill."
Around 7:30 pm on May 27th, the intruders arrived. Westcott followed the officers' advice, grabbed his gun to defend his home, and died pointing it at the intruders. They used a semiautomatic shotgun and handgun to shoot down the 29-year-old motorcycle mechanic. He was hit three times, once in the arm and twice in his side, and pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
The intruders, however, weren't small-time crooks looking to make a small… Continue reading

The New York Times reporter James Risen, who faces jail over his refusal to reveal a source and testify against a former CIA agent accused of leaking secrets, has called President Barack Obama "the greatest enemy of press freedom in a generation".
Speaking to his colleague Maureen Dowd, Risen accused the president of aggressively pursuing journalists, including himself, who report sensitive stories that reflect poorly on the US government.
Risen faces jail over his reporting of a botched intelligence operation that ended up spilling nuclear secrets to Iran. The Justice Department has long been seeking to force him to testify and name the confidential source of the account, which is contained in his 2006 book State of War.
Risen recently failed in an attempt to have the supreme court review an order for him to testify, and acknowledges that he has exhausted all his legal options against the Justice Department's pursuit of him under the controversial Espionage Act. In the face of incarceration that could come as early as this autumn, he is resorting instead to journalistic defiance.
Risen would be the first journalist to go to prison for failing to divulge sources since 2005, when the former New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed for contempt of court, after refusing to testify about a… Continue reading
Julian Charles interviews Kevin Ryan on The Mind Renewed on 8/16/14
In 2002, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was tasked by the US Government with "determin[ing] why and how WTC 1 and WTC 2 collapsed following the initial impacts of the aircraft and why and how WTC 7 collapsed." After years of work, the final reports were released (in 2005 and 2008 respectively) with the conclusion that all three had collapsed primarily due to fire. But just how "meticulous, exhaustive, and very realistic" was this research? Had it really answered all the questions and provided a trustworthy explanation that supported the official narrative of 9/11?
This week we welcome to the programme once again Kevin Ryan, co-editor of the Journal of 9/11 Studies… Continue reading

Expecting mothers who lived near the World Trade Center when the twin towers fell on September 11, 2001 were more likely to give birth prematurely and have babies with low birth weights, according to new research.
The massive dust cloud that enveloped Lower Manhattan after the collapse of the Twin Towers was a highly toxic environmental hazard that consisted of asbestos, cement, gypsum, glass fibers, lead and other metals and was highly alkaline. Past research has shown it caused asthma and cancer in many first responders and local residents.
A new working study, released this month by Janet Currie and Hannes Schwandt of Princeton University, shows that the 9/11 dust caused pregnancy complications in expecting mothers. The study has not been peer-reviewed.
"These findings provide the first consistent evidence that the 9/11 dust cloud had detrimental impacts on pregnancy outcomes," said the authors. "Residence in the affected area increased prematurity, low birth weight, and admission to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) after birth, especially for boys."
For mothers who were in their first trimester during 9/11, exposure to the dust cloud more than doubled the probability of premature delivery. Newborn boys were more likely than girls to have birth complications, and there was an increase in low birth weight of about 5 percentage points among boys as well… Continue reading

WASHINGTON — The government has recognized that first responders became ill from working near Ground Zero — but the 9/11 Museum isn't so sure.
Responders and surviving family members are furious that panels at the museum's "After 9/11″ exhibit present the connection between the toxic dust around Ground Zero and the subsequent health issues of many workers as uncertain.
It's the latest in a long list of complaints about the museum's management and mission by victims' families and responders, who point out that the 2011 James Zadroga Act, which helped cover victims' health needs, settled the issue.
"It is inexcusable that the museum would project skepticism about the link between health impacts and WTC exposures, despite overwhelming medical evidence," write the chairs of two committees created to help beneficiaries of the Zadroga Act in letter sent to museum head Joseph Daniels on Friday.
Museum spokesman Michael Frazier said the letter was under review. "Among our visitors… Continue reading

The Justice Department late Friday made public four new, heavily censored documents confirming that by 2002 the FBI had found "many connections" between 9/11 terrorist figures and the Florida family of "an allegedly wealthy international businessman" with ties to the Saudi Royal family.
"On or about 8/27/01 his family fled their house in Sarasota leaving behind valuable items in a manner
indicating they left quickly without prior preparation," says an FBI "case narrative" written on April 16, 2002.
The name of the international businessman, Esam Ghazzawi, is blanked out in the narrative. Ghazzawi's name, however, is included on another page – an FBI form that accompanied a letter acquired by FBI agents in Tampa as "evidence" in July 2002. Details about the letter were not released.
The release of Ghazzawi's name is the first time the government has confirmed Ghazzawi's involvement in the FBI investigation that lasted until at least 2004, yet was never disclosed to the 9/11 Commission or congressional investigators.
Ghazzawi, adviser to a senior Saudi prince, owned the upscale south Sarasota home where his daughter, Anoud, and her husband, Abdulaziz al-Hijji lived prior to 9/11. Law enforcement sources have said that after 9/11 investigators found evidence – telephone records and photographs of license tags and security gate log books – showing that hijack pilot Mohamed Atta, former Broward resident and fugitive al Qaeda leader Adnan Shukrijumah and… Continue reading

It has been nearly 13 years since terrorist hijackers turned passenger planes into weapons and flew innocent civilians into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, turning the sunny New York City skyline black from flaming debris and burning buildings.
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks — while towers of mangled metal still smoldered in Manhattan, piles of concrete and glass rested below a gaping hole in the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field was littered with aluminum and dead bodies — national security experts from nearly every government agency frantically raced to uncover just what had happened.
Three years after the attacks, everything those… Continue reading

An absolutely monumental shift is in process that most have not recognized yet. The truth, or at least some truth, is about to be shown to the American masses about 9/11. I say American masses because everywhere I've gone in the world outside of the US, with few exceptions, almost everyone knows that the US government conspiracy theory on 9/11 is for people with tinfoil hats that are either completely zombified or are under mass hypnosis. Most of the rest of the world looks on the US like "The Truman Show" and can't believe how many people in the show don't realize it's not real.
Before we delve into what is about to happen let's just take one last look at the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 by one of the great freedom-minded investigative journalists on the planet, James Corbett … because this theory is about to evaporate in front of our very eyes:
It's hard to believe but there are still millions of people in the US who believe that is what happened!
The first event is a 40-minute broadcast that went out on C-SPAN on August 1st with Richard Gage, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. This is an absolute must-see interview for the reasons I will explain.
C-SPAN is operated by the National Cable Satellite… Continue reading

It's the kind of rare opportunity that members of the 9/11 Truth Movement wish would come more often.
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, was invited to bring the evidence for the explosive demolition of the three World Trade Center towers to viewers of C-SPAN today on its morning program Washington Journal. His 45-minute appearance — which can be viewed here by those who did not see it live — is enabling the 9/11 Truth message to reach a national television audience of millions.
Gage explained to viewers that his organization, representing more than 2,200 architects and engineers, is focused on the science of the event and on calling for a new, independent investigation. He encouraged viewers to visit the AE911Truth.org website and watch the landmark video 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out.
"Every one of our [C-SPAN] viewers today should be calling their Congressmen and Senators and finding out why they're not investigating the worst act of mass murder in U.S. history and the third-worst structural failure in modern history," Gage said. "This is an extraordinary and unacceptable situation."
Host Peter Slen told viewers that Gage was brought in as a guest because Washington Journal had received so many calls in recent months asking its other guests to address the issue of how Building 7 fell on 9/11 when it was not hit by a plane. The invitation shows that the continuing efforts of 9/11… Continue reading

(CNN) — President Barack Obama acknowledged Friday that the United States "crossed a line" and tortured al Qaeda detainees after the 9/11 terror attacks.
The comments at a White House news conference were the President's strongest on the controversial subject since he came into office denouncing what he described as the Bush years of torturing alleged terrorists, also known as "enhanced interrogation."
"When we engaged in some of these enhanced interrogation techniques, techniques that I believe and I think any fair-minded person would believe were torture, we crossed a line," Obama said. "And that needs to be … understood and accepted. And we have to, as a country, take responsibility for that so that hopefully we don't do it again in the future."
In the remarks, Obama was referring to a soon-to-be-released Senate Intelligence Committee report detailing the CIA's controversial interrogation and detention program following the 9/11 attacks.
The document is a nearly 700 page summary of the full 6,800 page report that was approved a year and a half ago by a committee sharply divided along party lines.
Senators on the committee have said the report is critical of the CIA's treatment of terrorism suspects, saying it amounted to torture — an allegation CIA officials have denied. It also finds that those harsh interrogation techniques did not help disrupt future terrorist attacks as many in intelligence community have claimed.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein said later Friday that the report's public release… Continue reading

SALT LAKE CITY — A trial over evidence and conspiracy theories from the Oklahoma City bombing wrapped up here, with a shocking twist.
As a trial over documents and videotape the FBI had from the 1995 bombing that killed 168 ended on Thursday, the man suing the federal government claimed one of his witnesses had been told not to show up — or else.
Jesse Trentadue said John Matthews, whom he claimed worked as an undercover government operative in the militia movement in the 1990s, had been contacted by an FBI agent and told "it would be best if he didn't show up to testify."
"He was told he should take a vacation and that if he did testify he should suffer from a case of the 'I don't remembers,'" Trentadue told U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups.
Trentadue told FOX 13 that Matthews had known convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh and worked for the government in an operation targeting the patriot militia movement known as "PATCON."
"He was part of an operation the FBI ran for a decade during the '90s where they would infiltrate, and it's questionable whether they incited the right wing," he told FOX 13.
Lawyers for the FBI denied the allegation and said it was Matthews who had contacted them asking how he could get out of testifying. Matthews could not be located to testify, they told the judge.
"This is a serious accusation," Judge Waddoups said.… Continue reading

The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, issued an extraordinary apology to leaders of the US Senate intelligence committee on Thursday, conceding that the agency employees spied on committee staff and reversing months of furious and public denials.
Brennan acknowledged that an internal investigation had found agency security personnel transgressed a firewall set up on a CIA network, which allowed Senate committee investigators to review agency documents for their landmark inquiry into CIA torture.
Among other things, it was revealed that agency officials conducted keyword searches and email searches on committee staff while they used the network.
The admission brings Brennan's already rocky tenure at the head of the CIA under renewed question. One senator on the panel said he had lost confidence in the director, although the White House indicated its support for a man who has been one of Barack Obama's most trusted security aides.
CIA spokesman Dean Boyd acknowledged that agency staff had improperly monitored the computers of committee staff members, who were using a network the agency had set up, called RDINet. "Some CIA employees acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding reached between [the committee] and the CIA in 2009 regarding access to the RDINet," he said.
Asked if Brennan had or would offer his resignation, a different CIA spokesman, Ryan Trapani, replied: "No."
In March, the committee chairwoman, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, accused the agency of violating… Continue reading

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There has been a dramatic increase in the number of 9/11 rescuers and responders with cancer in the past year, according to a published report.
The New York Post says that Mount Sinai Hospital's World Trade Center Health Program reported 1,140 cancer cases last year. Now the number is up to more than 2,500.
Among the cancers being diagnosed at a much higher rate than the general population: prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, leukemia and multiple myeloma.
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund is expected to receive more claims by the Oct. 14 deadline. So far, there are 1,145 claims listing cancer.

After becoming Director of the CIA (DCI) in 1997, George Tenet did what Louis Freeh had done after his appointment as FBI Director. He began to cultivate close personal relationships with the rulers of Saudi Arabia. Like Freeh, Tenet grew especially close to Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to the United States. Bandar and Tenet often met at Bandar's home near Washington yet Tenet did not share information from those meetings with his own officers who were handling Saudi issues at the Agency. The CIA's Saudi specialists only learned about Tenet's dealings with the Saudi authorities inadvertently, through their Saudi contacts. It seems that Tenet was operating within a network that surpassed the interests of the American public. Therefore the unsolved crimes of 9/11, attributed largely to young men from Saudi Arabia, should be considered in light of Tenet's actions.
As Deputy Director for the CIA, in 1996, Tenet had worked to install one of his closest friends and confidants, John Brennan, as CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia. Brennan is now the DCI but, in his previous role, Brennan often communicated directly with Tenet, avoiding the usual chain of command. At the time, as an apparent favor to the Saudis, CIA analysts were discouraged from questioning Saudi relationship to Arab extremists.
The unusual relationship that both George Tenet and Louis Freeh had with Saudi intelligence (and George H.W. Bush) recalls the private network that was created in the mid-1970s to accomplish covert… Continue reading

Nearly all of the highest-profile domestic terrorism plots in the United States since 9/11 featured the "direct involvement" of government agents or informants, a new report says.
Some of the controversial "sting" operations "were proposed or led by informants", bordering on entrapment by law enforcement. Yet the courtroom obstacles to proving entrapment are significant, one of the reasons the stings persist.
The lengthy report, released on Monday by Human Rights Watch, raises questions about the US criminal justice system's ability to respect civil rights and due process in post-9/11 terrorism cases. It portrays a system that features not just the sting operations but secret evidence, anonymous juries, extensive pretrial detentions and convictions significantly removed from actual plots.
"In some cases the FBI may have created terrorists out of law-abiding individuals by suggesting the idea of taking terrorist action or encouraging the target to act," the report alleges.
Out of the 494 cases related to terrorism the US has tried since 9/11, the plurality of convictions – 18% overall – are not for thwarted plots but for "material support" charges, a broad category expanded further by the 2001 Patriot Act that permits prosecutors to pursue charges with tenuous connections to a terrorist act or group.
In one such incident, the initial basis for a material-support case alleging a man provided "military gear" to al-Qaida turned out to be waterproof socks in his luggage.
Several cases featured years-long solitary confinement for… Continue reading
On May 20, 2009, four men from the impoverished and largely African-American city of Newburgh, NY, were apprehended for an alleged terror plot. They had no history of violence or terrorist ties, but had been drawn by a Pakistani FBI informant into a carefully orchestrated scheme to bomb Jewish synagogues in a wealthy New York City suburb and fire Stinger missiles at U.S. military supply planes. Their dramatic arrest, complete with armored cars, a SWAT team and FBI aircraft, played out under the gaze of major TV outlets, ultimately resulting in 25-year prison sentences for the "Newburgh Four."
Amidst the media frenzy surrounding the case, political figures extolled the outcome as a victory in the "war on terror" and a "textbook example of how a major investigation should be conducted," though others believed the four men were victims of FBI entrapment. THE NEWBURGH STING delves deeply into this case — one of many cases across the country where people have been allegedly drawn into a plot with extreme consequences.
The Imam and assistant Imam of Mesjid al-Ikhlas, Newburgh mosque, recall their first encounters with Shahed Hussain – an undercover informant sent to Newburgh by the FBI in 2008 on a mission to find domestic terrorists. Representing himself as a businessman, Hussain drove expensive cars and made inflammatory statements about women and jihad. Suspicious, the Imams told a few of their congregants to stay away from Hussain, but one man, James Cromitie, bought into his story. Cromitie, a low-level drug dealer… Continue reading

The information was shared on message boards, email lists, Facebook and Twitter.
'It went everywhere'
Bechtel said the reunion with her horses was emotional.
"I thought I was going to cry," she said. "I was out there trying to scratch them and hug on them and try to get them loaded up all at the same time."
Bechtel is currently boarding four of the animals at a farm in Gaston County.
The remaining three are being cared for in a small community called Pinnacle in Stokes County.
"Then when I contacted NetPosse, she went wild with it," Bechtel said. "It went everywhere."
She said she had people in Colorado looking.
A woman called her from California.
People in Pennsylvania walked the aisles of kill pens, where horses are held until being shipped across the Canadian border to be slaughtered, looking for Bechtel's seven.
"It has truly restored my faith in humanity," she said.
Educating owners, recovering horses
Stolen Horse International was founded in 1998 after Debi and Harold Metcalfe's horse, Idaho, was stolen.
The search for Idaho and subsequent recovery sparked the beginning of the non-profit organization that now operates with the help of thousands of volunteers around the country.
Over the years, the organization has developed programs, products and seminars to educate the horse community and equine industry about horse theft while assisting thousands of stolen horse victims.
Metcalfe said she has thousands of people contact her every year.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
13, rue des Beaux Arts, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 6th Arr. (St-Germain/Luxembourg)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
No two rooms are the same — any hotel with even a modicum of personality is likely to include such a phrase somewhere in its promotional literature, and it is bound to be true, at least to some degree, of any hotel selected by Tablet (though there may be a Japanese capsule hotel in our future). Then again, no two snowflakes are the same either, and that's not exactly a compelling argument for sleeping in the snow, is it?
That said, in L'Hôtel's case, it really is true. The rooms really are all different, vastly different, so different they seem to belong to separate hotels, or even continents. The Barroco is in Italian Baroque style, the Pagode in an antique Japanese theme, the Léopard is finished in leopard-print fabrics, and the Oscar Wilde is in a traditional English style, a partial reconstruction of Wilde's dining room in London, featuring framed letters from the staff urging him to settle his hotel bill (which he did not live to do). All of this is carried off with a charm and a mastery that elevates it above gimmickry, into the category of real character, of personality.
Personality, after all, is what makes a hotel a Tablet hotel — not 24-hour room service, or indoor pools, or other standard five-star amenities. What cookie-cutter chain hotel can match L'Hôtel's central spiral staircase, into which sunlight pours through a domed glass ceiling, or the Roman-style bath, housed in the vault beneath the hotel?
There is a restaurant, and a good one — not a three-star spectacle of a restaurant, but an excellent one anyway. Le Restaurant exists not as a public relations scheme, or as a way for the hotel to maximize food and beverage profits, but as a service to its patrons — remarkable food, French but totally modern and light. This restaurant is as popular with the locals as the bar is with celebrities.
Fitting, as the hotel is not designed as a self-contained experience, but as a complement to the attractions of the surrounding district. L'Hôtel is located in St. Germain-des-Prés, the heart of the Rive Gauche, within easy reach of the Ecole des Beaux Arts and innumerable art galleries, cafés, and boutiques. It would be quite reasonable to claim that this is the best location in Paris for a hotel; for those interested in experiencing the authentic Paris, there is no better place to start.
In fact, if this were a boring corporate mega-hotel, the neighborhood alone would make it worth visiting. But this is a phenomenal hotel, full of life and character, and the combination of location and execution make L'Hôtel the place to stay in Paris, and, quite possibly, the perfect Tablet hotel.
Please note: The façade will undergo renovations from June 29 through August 31, 2015.
