Re: Low buck projects- Let's see 'em!
I just finished these shelf/pouches. Stained poplar from home depot, brass nails and screws, bungie cord from REI, and blue cloth from a tablecloth (polyester or nylon if I remember). This project has actually spanned more than a year since I've been pretty lazy. I also didn't even have power tools when I started and used hand tools to cut the wood (partly why I chose poplar, cost was the other reason).
One thing I've learned on my boat is that rigid things and containers arn't well suited for the curves and small spaces. The first toolbox I bought couldn't fit anywhere in the boat. So I came back with a toolbag which can stuff where it needs to go.
So this is intended to be a combination between a pouch, which are really practical but I don't love the looks of, and a rigid shelf. I think it's going to work out well.

Bengals WR Caldwell is effective _ but not flashy
"It's a big commitment by him, and obviously I appreciate that, and it has paid off," Palmer said. "Andre is a guy that you love to have on your team. He doesn't say much, but he goes out and does his job. If you ask him to go out and block a linebacker, he'll block a linebacker. If you ask him to run a certain route versus a certain coverage, he'll do it without whining or complaining.
"You never hear him say, 'Well, I blocked all game and didn't get the ball thrown my way.' He understands that he is part of a team. He's the ultimate team player."
He got the starting job when Houshmandzadeh left for Seattle. He learned a lot from his one year of watching Houshmandzadeh run precise routes and make catches while getting clobbered.
"I incorporated his game into my game," Caldwell said. "That was real big. I learned how to be a man, how to be an NFL player, and how to carry yourself as a receiver in this game. Without that, I don't know if I'd be where I am right now."
Palmer expects other teams to start paying more attention to Caldwell, which will occasionally free up Ochocinco from the double coverage he's attracting every game.
"Hopefully that will open Chad up a little more because teams will start to fear Andre," Palmer said.
Caldwell's first big moment in the NFL brought a stream of congratulations from around the country.
"I got a lot of texts, a lot of tweets, a lot of phone calls," Caldwell said. "It's been exciting. People are happy for me. I'm just blessed to be in this situation right now."
Asked if he got well-wishes from any well-known folks, Caldwell smiled.
"I don't know too many big-name people," he said. "Lot of small-time. Family. Friends."

We had a blast!!It is worth the money and you won't regret it. If you have never been 15,20 feet deep and feed the fishes..Then this is the best for a beginner. The hotel where they at ain't that far from the cruise and don't buy the hotel food or drinks,back to the port there's better prices bar and food
December 2012
I would give this a mixed review, if you can snorkel you probably will not enjoy this.
You spend about 15 minutes following your guide (in scuba gear) around in the min-subs, then 15 minutes tied to teather while he brings sealive to you.
Also some communications problem between Viator and local provider.

We want to protect and create benefits
Elements have always fascinated people regarding both, creating and destroying existence. This very day it is still a motivating dream to control this force.
It is our challenge to handle these forces, too. RMD-Consult GmbH mostly focuses its considerations, planning and proceedings on the element of water. In this process, we always bear in mind both sides of the coin: protection against destruction by water and the use of this element.
With the element water as a starting point, it is not a long stretch to regard the element fire as an energy source. We are also considering how to use this energy profitably. Whether solar energy, biomass or fossil fuel many of the fascinated and highly motivated specialists at RMD-Consult GmbH are still pursuing the dream of commanding sources of energy.

No it doesn't. At best, it's incomplete. At worst, it's turning you into a giant beacon of a bullet sponge.
You stand up--or remain seated--in your movie aisle and zorch him with 200 lumens. Where do you reckon all his attention goes? What have you done to prevent him from shooting? What have you done in that press of bodies to not be where you just advertised? What have you dine to prevent the other patrons in that vicinity from being riddled? Let's not forget that he's under no obligation to acquire a clean sight picture, and he's free to do a mag dump in the rough area where he saw the light.
I'm willing to bet that our SEAL poster hasn't made a habit of advertising his position to the other side on a two-way range. Why he'd advocate doing that on a one-way range is a bit of a mystery.
Go ahead: play this FoF and see if it's viable.

Lighting is a very useful tool if used correctly. To simply stand your ground and light the guy up is an improper use of the tactic and tool.
Just like shoot and move, you light and (release then) move. You bring up a good point that you don't want to endanger others by bringing hostile fire to them, so you would move to avoid that issue before employing this tactic.
BTW, this is best used at closer range....
And, yes, I have "played" this....

Good article and some interesting take aways.
I've faced a high intensity flashlight in FoF. It will blow night vision out for at least a minute or two. We used a 300 lumen tac light. A 500 focused would be far worse and effective at greater distances imo.
Regardeless of what you do afterwards it's nice to have the opponent blinded first. Best if combined with another weapon such as a handgun but if all you got is a tac light, use it.

I think it's good advise. Of course don't spotlight the shooter from across the theater, that would be saying "hey, over here", but if he's just about on you, you can flash him, then make your move.
Also, if the attacker is right up on you, charging him rapidly would be better than just laying there so he could execute you. IF say a bunch, or even just a few people rushed him when he first came in, a lot less people would have been killed. Especially considering that he threw the tear gas first, someone could have knocked down and at least pinned him, making him unable to get his weapon.
I'm NOT talking about being a hero, I'm talking about being like a cat. A cat will flee, but when cornered.... well nothing fights like a cornered cat.

I'm a flashlight geek (kinda a lighting geek in-general, my car has a ridiculous set of Hella driving lamps supporting its HID-lo/HIR-hi setup
; for years, I carried a Surefire E2D, recently, though, I switched to a Z2S-LED w/X-Concealment clip - and even more recently, a Surefire LX2), and I've had some low-light training (no, not just me running around in the dark by myself, but actual training that I paid for, with vetted qualified instructors - I figure that if I'm bumping around in the dark with a live gun, I should probably get some instruction to be able to do it at least semi-right). I always have a decent light on my person, and I've been in enough weird and unexpected situations where my light(s) have come in handy, that I really respect the wisdom of never leaving home without it, even in broad daylight.
Like I said, I've done some low-light training, but I've never encountered smoke. Sure, there's a bit of gunsmoke, but what I'm interested in is the type of scenario that, hypothetically (since there's still no true picture yet, as vetted reports are, I'd imagine, forthcoming based on ongoing investigations), the innocents in the Aurora theater faced.
I know from what little training that I've had that yes, there can be "too much light" when it comes to close quarters: a very powerful light can cause the shooter discomfort or even momentarily self-blind given reflections from typical home decorations, furniture, and appliances - even white walls can cause such back-scatter effect.
Similarly, I know from some two decade's worth and well over 2 million miles of driving that in thick fog as well as snow, that there can be too much light for such situations, too.
I'm also a nerdy flashlight collector
, and therefore have tried to search up some past posts about such concerns. The closest I could get was:
- which internally references:
and also:
Through these threads, I read both what makes sense to me, instinctively - i.e. a light with a tighter output will be better at controlling back-scatter than one with a broad spill (which should work well for our needs, as, typically, most modern "tactical flashlights" offer a rather tight throw); as well as things which are contradictory - that you want to throw as much light forward as possible, but at the same time, too much light is just gonna splash back and blind you with backs-catter, because as physics would demonstrate, you simply can't "cut through" smoke.
One of the firefighters mentioned that you'll want to make sure that the helmet-light chosen isn't obnoxiously bright, that it would blind the team-mates that you're talking to.
At first pass, my thought is that's great validation for carrying as bright of a light as you can - but that thought is tempered by the other observations above, as well as by the further question of, if that is indeed the case, then how close do you need to be to this other person, to blind him (as it's implied in said post that the firefighter you'd be blinding would be a team-mate standing close to you)?
Tactically, yet another thought springs to-mind: if the environment is disruptive already, then could a strobing technique be used to hopefully confuse the aggressor even more? Or would this not even be worth worrying about, as the muzzle blast of the shooter's firearm(s) likely is already providing for that effect, to begin with, in the darkened and smoky theater?
These are questions which I've never thought of before this tragic incident.
Like I said, sure, I've had low-light shooting instruction - and yes, in one case, there was plenty of rain to deal with, too (ambient conditions that night [outdoor shoot-house] actually seemed to magnify the gun-smoke that lingered after each muzzle-blast)...but I've never practiced in a dark and
smoky environment. Sure there was plenty of gun-smoke, but that's nowhere even near the same amount of smoke I've experienced in various airsoft and paintball games, as a part of their FX.
What is my light really capable of? How can I best exploit its capabilities?

Lombard Street, San Francisco
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
Favorite thing:
This famous street is on everyone's list of top ten things to see in San Francisco. I was keen to see it and expected much. In some ways I was rewarded, in others not so.
There wasn't as much of it as I expected and I was thinking "car chases in movies" but this serene street, while busy, is a place of beauty more than anything else. It's also a place of weird stuff on wheels.
There were Segways (3), three wheeled cars (2) with running commentary linked to GPS, bikes, limos, just about any small vehicle you've ever seen passes down here.
Fondest memory: I arrived at the bottom end of the street. It's easily identifiable because there'll be a group of tourists somewhere, and those are just the ones that are walking.
The gardens initially catch your eye and rightfully so, but the architecture is just as pleasing.
Of course, it's all about the one-way section on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, in which the roadway has eight switchbacks that have earned the street the distinction of being the most winding street in the world (though this title is contested). The switchback's design, first suggested by property owner Carl Henry and instituted in 1922, was instituted in order to reduce the hill's natural 27% grade, which was too steep for most vehicles to climb. It is also a serious hazard to pedestrians, who are accustomed to a more reasonable sixteen-degree incline. The crooked section of the street, which is about 1/4 mile (400 m) long, is reserved for one-way traffic traveling east (downhill) and is paved with red bricks. The speed limit in this section is 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h).
Favorite thing:
San Francisco is a city of numerous hills which make parking, walking and navigating your way around quite the challenge. Riding cable cars up and down these hills is considered one of those things to do while in San Francisco, if for no other reason than that you are riding a cable car while in San Francisco. And this is something you must do. Everybody says so.
Another great thing about San Francisco's hills is that they lead to great views. Pictured here is Telegraph Hill which leads from Lombard Street on a steep incline to a small park with great views of the city.
Favorite thing:
This was a totally awesome thrill to go down the "Crookedest Street in the World".
LOMBARD STREET has eight sharp turns, known as switchbacks, on a 40 degree slope. There are also stairways on both sides for pedestrians.
We went down not once, but TWICE. What a blast!
Fondest memory: Located in the Russian Hill District, the descent begins at Hyde Street.
Favorite thing:
An original point of view of the Lombard Street.
I want to be always original and never succeed in trying this. This is taken while the others were trying their luck with the California Megalottery.
In don't believe in luck and I preferred to plan to bother you with this.
I sense is actually possible to find in this picture, infact it shows how long that road is, and in the distance you MAY see the most famous twisting portion of the road that everybody want to visit
Favorite thing:
Between Hyde and Leavenworth, Lombard street snakes to reduce the slope of street which was 26 pct and becomes 16 pct thanks to the curves. So the horses were able to climb the street.
Now, it is a one way street (West ---> East) and a lot of drivers use the way only for fun.
It is also famous because it is covered of flowers. A French guy, from Limousin, had the idea. He leaved at the 1010.
More pictures in the Travelogue
Fondest memory: Several films show a car pursuit in this street.
Favorite thing:
This isn't a must see but it's a neat thing to see and the are surrounding the street is quite scenic and indicative of the oppulence that exists here and what domiciles they build
Fondest memory: Jumping the hills in my friends beat up van like in the movie Bullit.
Favorite thing:
This is me (aged 21!) at the foot of Lombard Street, the crookedest street. The film 'What's Up Doc' was a favourite of mine as a kid, and part of a chase scene was filmed here.
Five minutes earlier, I'd bumped into 2 people I knew from university in England. Remember, it's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it!
Favorite thing:
catch a glimpse of the crookedest street in the world - Lombard Street.
Be careful when you're climbing up this narrow street - it's VERY steep!! But then again, aren't most of the streets here in Frisco steep?? :-))
For those in the know, of course you'd know that there is a quicker and better way to descend by taking the steps on either side of the street, like what I did. Heh! Heh!!

AUMSVILLE -- Juanita Nichol has been running Nichol's Plumbing for 50 years in the same building, one annihilated Tuesday afternoon by a tornado.
When the twister hit, townspeople were sick, convinced she had been in the building.
Juanita, as everyone calls her, was an all-day fixture in the front window of the business she started with her late husband. People would wave at her as they drove by.
Juanita is loved. She is described by all as the town's grandmother. A few weeks ago, she was the grand marshal in the town's Corn Fest parade.
When the tornado hit, everyone's mind was on her well being.
Survive, she did. Turns out she had left the building about 20 minutes before the tornado hit about 11:45. Her car needed repair work.
KGW found her Tuesday afternoon several blocks down the street at the Pizza Peddler.
I never dreamt that it would be completely gone, she said. My husband and I built that building in 1962. We started our business in 1959.
And to think how God in his perfect time took me out of there and I wasn't part of that, she said. And my spiritual life is a real strong life. And I know that God's timing was perfect and he took care of me.

TOURS, France (AP) - Germany's Marcel Kittel overtook Mark Cavendish at the line Thursday to win the 12th stage of the Tour de France, and Chris Froome stayed safely in the main pack to preserve his big lead.
Cavendish moved in front but Kittel gained ground and just beat him to the line to earn his second stage win in three days and third of this race.
About 20 riders were caught in a crash near the end, with some stuck under the bikes of others as wheels and frames jutted out at all angles.
Froome still leads Alejandro Valverde by 3 minutes, 25 seconds. The British rider is 3:54 ahead of two-time former champion Alberto Contador.

Zaxby's, a franchised chain of casual dining restaurants offering chicken wings, chicken fingers, sandwiches and salads, broke ground on CC Camp Road recently. The company operates primarily in the Southeastern United States with more than 600 locations.
The new facility will be built adjacent to Walmart. The general contractor for the construction project is U.S. General Construction, Inc.
"We'll have this baby all done and turned over by late summer," said Jerry Strogner, superintendent of the project.
"Right now we're doing the grading, and prepping slab, getting ready to pour footings," said Strogner.
According to Strogner, the 43,000-square-foot project will include parking spaces on all sides.
Strogner, of Mooresville, said he drives to the site daily. "Normally I am on the job building in Florida in other states. It's good to be local," he said.
Strogner said the general contractor is overseeing the project, but many of the sub-contracts were bid out to local companies.
"They're pretty good at understanding the need to keep people working," he said.
The first Zaxby's restaurant opened in Statesboro, Georgia, in March 1990. The company's first restaurant outside of Georgia was opened in September 1994 in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Zaxby's now operates in 15 states.
Zaxby's is "The Official Chicken of Sports Fans" and has collective intellectual property rights at nearly 30 Division I colleges through 2015 through a deal with their football and basketball teams. The sponsorship, brokered by IMG College, includes schools across every state where Zaxby's is located, representing six major athletic conferences.

Salad Bowl strike
|This article appears to contradict the article California Agricultural Strike 1933. (August 2014)
|Salad Bowl strike
|August 23, 1970 - March 26, 1971
|Collective bargaining
|pickets; boycott; secondary boycott
|Parties to the civil conflict
|Lead figures
|Arrests, etc.
The Salad Bowl strike[1] was a series of strikes, mass pickets, boycotts and secondary boycotts that began on August 23, 1970 and led to the largest farm worker strike in U.S. history.[2] The strike was led by the United Farm Workers against the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The Salad Bowl[3] strike was only in part a jurisdictional strike, for many of the actions taken during the event were not strikes. The strike led directly to the passage of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act in 1975.[4]
Collective bargaining rights for most hourly workers in the United States were first given legal protection in 1933 by Section 7a of the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA). Although NIRA did not specifically exempt agricultural laborers from the protection of the Act, the Roosevelt administration, eager to win the political support of farm-state members of Congress, argued that farm workers were excluded.[5] When the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was enacted in 1935, it specifically exempted agricultural workers due to pressure from the "farm bloc" in Congress.[5][6][7] Although a number of attempts were made in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s to organize farm laborers, these efforts were unsuccessful.[8]
In August 1966, the National Farm Workers Association and Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee, two unrecognized and relatively minor labor unions claiming organizing jurisdiction over farm workers in California, merged to form the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (the predecessor organization to the United Farm Workers). Adopting the philosophy of pacifism in the face of often violent reaction to its organizing efforts and engaging in strikes, hunger strikes, boycotts and secondary boycotts (including the successful Delano grape strike), marches, rallies and cutting-edge public relations campaigns, the United Farm Workers (UFW) began organizing large numbers of agricultural laborers into unions.[4] In some cases, the UFW even won recognition and negotiated contracts.[4][9]
By 1969, the UFW was on the verge of winning its four years old Delano grape strike.[4] In June 1969, about twenty-five (25) small growers broke ranks with the rest of the industry,[10] and by the end of July 1970 the strike had ended.[11] The UFW believed that success over the Delano grape growers would lead hundreds of growers to recognize the union and negotiate contracts with the union.
But the UFW was not the only union to see the end of the Delano grape strike as an opportunity. Six thousand drivers and packing workers in the Salinas Valley in California, represented by the Teamsters, struck on July 17, 1970 effectively preventing most of the nation's summer lettuce crop from reaching consumers.[12] The price of iceberg lettuce tripled overnight, and thousands of acres of lettuce were plowed under as crops spoiled on the ground.[13] The strike ended on July 23, but the contract included a special agreement by the growers to give the Teamsters, not the UFW, access to farms and the right to organize workers into unions.[14][15][16]
The UFW, which had long asserted jurisdiction over the field workers, was outraged, especially when the Teamsters signed a contract with the growers days later without having to do much organizing or build support among the workers.[16][17] Even as UFW leader César Chávez went on a hunger strike to protest the Teamsters' actions and a state district court imposed a temporary injunction to preempt UFW members from walking off the job,[18] the UFW held secret talks with the Teamsters to avert a strike by the UFW.[19] An agreement to return jurisdiction over the field workers to the farm union was reached on August 12,[14][20] and FreshPict Foods (then owned by the Purex Corporation) and Inter-Harvest (part of the United Fruit Company) broke ranks with the other lettuce growers and signed contracts with the UFW.[14][21]
But the August 12 agreement collapsed, and 5,000-7,000 UFW workers struck the Salinas Valley growers on August 23 in what was the largest farm worker strike in U.S. history.[2] More workers walked off the job in the next few weeks, while other unions supported the strike, shipments of fresh lettuce nationwide almost ceased, and the price of lettuce doubled almost overnight. Lettuce growers lost $500,000 a day.[1][22] A state district court enjoined Chávez personally and the UFW as an organization from engaging in picketing, but both Chávez and the union refused to obey the court's orders.[23] In late September 1970, the UFW asked consumers to join in a nationwide boycott of all lettuce which had not been picked by members of the United Farm Workers.[24] Violence, sporadic at first but increasingly widespread, began to occur in the fields. On November 4, 1970 a UFW regional office was bombed.[25]
On December 4 federal marshals arrested Chávez and, for the first time in his life, César Chávez was put in jail.[26] Two days later, he was visited in the Monterey County jail in Salinas by former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete Rafer Johnson and Ethel Kennedy, widow of slain Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy and Johnson were attacked by an anti-union mob on the steps of the jail, and only intervention by city police, Monterey county sheriff's deputies, and the Brown Berets prevented a riot and injury to the visitors.[4] Chávez was released by the Supreme Court of California on December 23, but the next day called a strike against six additional lettuce growers.[27]
The bitter strike ended on March 26, 1971 when the Teamsters and UFW signed a new jurisdictional agreement reaffirming the UFW's right to organize field workers.[28]
The Salad Bowl strike did not end the jurisdictional disagreement between the Teamsters and the UFW. The Teamsters resumed their dispute with the UFW in December 1972, which led to further extensive disruptions in the state agricultural industry, mass picketing, mass arrests, and extensive violence.[9][29] By April 1973, the UFW was "fighting for our lives" and threatening to launch a nationwide boycott of any grower which signed a contract with the Teamsters.[30] Thousands of UFW members began picketing in the fields on April 15, 1973.[31] Mass arrests quickly occurred,[32] and many county jails were soon overflowing with detainees.[33] The organizing battles between the two unions became violent with audacious and brutal attacks on UFW members day and night.[4][34] The UFW appeared to be losing the battle physically, legally, and organizationally.[35] The violence worsened; seventy farm workers were attacked on July 31, a UFW picketer was shot on August 3, five firebombs were thrown at UFW picket lines on August 9, two UFW members were shot on August 11, and a UFW picketer was shot to death on August 16, 1973.[36]
With the UFW beginning to buckle under the financial, legal, and organizational stress of the jurisdictional dispute, Chávez entered into talks with the Teamsters on August 6 but quit them on August 10.[37] But the Teamsters, too, had suffered greatly, and the day after the peace talks ended the Teamsters shocked other unions and many growers by repudiating all the contracts they had signed since the new round of battles had begun.[38]
Talks resumed, and a tentative agreement was reached on September 27, 1973 in which the Teamsters again agreed to leave jurisdiction over farm field workers to the UFW.[39]
By late 1974, many observers were concluding that the UFW was no longer a viable force. In July it was forced to end picketing at some grape fields near Delano.[40] Newspaper columnists suggested in June that the UFW no longer had any capacity to fight, and by February 1975 had concluded the union had no future.[41]
Enactment of CALRA[edit]
The ongoing fight between the Teamsters and UFW and its effect on UFW's organizational viability led César Chávez to seriously consider and advocate for legal reform in 1974.[4][42] Although Jerry Brown had been elected Governor of California in November 1974, Brown's election was not enough to win passage of legislation. The UFW knew it had to make a strong political showing in order to push the California State Legislature to act.
Although it considered mass picketing, rallies, and more boycotts, the UFW worried that it had lost the support of farm workers and that such events would only highlight the union's political weakness.[4] Instead, the UFW settled on a 110-mile (180 km) march by a small group of UFW leaders from San Francisco to the E & J Gallo Winery in Modesto.[4] The march would be dramatic, but not require large numbers of participants. Although just a few hundred marchers left San Francisco on February 22, 1975, more than 15,000 people had joined them by the time they reached Modesto on March 1.[42][43][44]
The dramatic success of the Modesto march energized the farm labor movement in California, and Governor Brown quickly began pushing for labor law reform. The march may have been the capstone, but it was the Delano grape boycott's success which brought the growers to the table. "The grape boycott scared the heck out of the farmers, all of us," said one major grower.[45] The march brought politicians and the Teamsters to the table.[4][29][42][43]
Broad agreement on a bill was reached on May 7, 1975 just sixty-eight (68) days after the Modesto march.[46] The California State Senate passed the bill on May 26,[47] and the California State Assembly passed the bill two days later.[48] Governor Brown signed the legislation into law on June 4, 1975.[49] The act went into effect on August 28, 1975.[50]
After hundreds of elections under the law in its first two years, the UFW and Teamsters finally signed a long-lasting jurisdictional agreement in March 1977,[51] and the UFW ended its boycotts of lettuce, grapes, and wine in February 1978.[52]

The Florida Panthers placed Mike Kostka on waivers earlier today. He's one of several AHL level defenders with waiver rights and a 24 hour window. Kostka is a very interesting player because of his skill set and the numbers he posted in the American Hockey League. He's also interesting in that the NHL team Kostka players for (Florida Panthers) has more depth than the Edmonton Oilers.In this way, Kostka represents a possible "gem" via the waiver wire. The Florida Panthers aren't the 75 Habs on the blueline, but the team does have plenty of experience and high draft picks: Edi Jovanoski Brian Campbell Mike Weaver Jason Garrison Dmitri Kulikov Keaton Ellerby Erik Gudbranson That's a pretty good group of players--Oilers would do well to acquire players 3 through 7--although experience at the tail end is lacking. Having said that, the demotion of Kostka means that Edmonton has a chance to acquire a young defender with a decent chance of having an NHL career. KOSTKA RESUME Has good size f...

With events like the Dark Knight Rises shooting in Aurora, Colo., or the most recent massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. – all the more tragic because it involves children – it's hard not to want to just crawl into bed with a loved one, and just wait for the so-called Apocalypse to wipe us out. But how sad would it be if all those who are meant to leave their mark on this world and prove that it's not all evil, didn't get the chance to do so?
As we head into 2013 - and I have no doubt we'll make it there, despite all this end-of-the-world talk - death remains one of humanity's greatest mysteries. I don't think we'll ever know the answer to why some people's lives are cut short while others get to live long, full lives, or why some must go tragically while others peacefully. All we know for sure is that our days are numbered. It can be a troubling, all-consuming thought, if you let it - and I certainly have.
But I'm trying to get better. Maybe one day I can be like Chavela Vargas, another legendary singer who passed away in 2012, in August, at the age of 93 in Cuernavaca, Mexico - completely unafraid of death. "I do not fear death," she said, in one of her last interviews, in the new documentary Hecho en Mexico. "It does not exist. I say to myself, 'If you were capable of being born, then you can die, in peace'... It's like a shadow that passes through you. And you're left wondering, 'who just went by?' In that moment, in that brief instant in this great, big world, that's where you discover where the soul is."
Her attitude toward death reminded me of a friend of mine, who lost her father before the birth of her son. She was especially devastated, she said, because her son would never get the chance to play with him. To help her cope, she began to meet with a medium. During one of their sessions, the medium had an important message to convey from her father. He said: "Tell her that dying is the easy part – it's like stepping into another room."
Months later, my friend would describe moments in which she felt her father around them. She described it as a peaceful feeling. He had found a way to get to know her son after all.
I'd like to think that maybe that medium was right. Maybe what happens after dying really is as simple as stepping into another room – one where perhaps there is a different kind of enlightened existence. Eternal, even - with no pain, no loss. No guns.
But for now we are here, in this room. And I can't help but think that every passing moment in that room is special in itself, not just as a ticking clock for what's next, but for what it is – and what is it if not what we make it?
Here's to making every moment count.

A new program promoting solar energy has dawned in Westport.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Historic NH hotel wants to advance solar power
As facilities manager at the Star Island Family Retreat and Conference Center, it was Jack Farrell's job to get the generator fixed. Today, his job also involves planning for its replacement as part of a project that involves one of the largest solar panel installations in northern New England.
Idaho's 1st big solar plant to be built soon
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho's first big solar electricity plant will likely soon begin construction, a rare bright spot for renewables in a state littered with canceled wind farms, regulatory uncertainty and low natural gas prices that have soured alternative power's financial appeal.
Green Jobs Growing in Red States
Green jobs are growing rapidly in conservative "red" states like Alaska, North Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming. And key swing states in this year's pivotal presidential election, including Nevada, Colorado, and North Carolina, are seeing green job growth as well.
Presidential race energizes this year's solar-industry convention
The solar-energy industry's huge assembly this week in Orlando buzzed with alternating currents of anxiety and optimism over this year's presidential election.
U.S. Solar Projects Rise 67% in Quarter Amid Price Drop, SEIA Says
Installation of solar panels in the U.S. surged as much as 67 percent in the fourth quarter as developers raced to qualify for an expiring federal incentive program and panel prices fell 16 percent, a trade group said.
Solar Industry Pushes Austin Energy to Put Major Emphasis on Solar Power
Solar industry leaders are urging Austin Energy to build its next generating plant on the city's rooftops to create thousands of local jobs, as opposed to expanding an existing natural gas-fired plant.
Wholesale Distributed Generation 'Set To Crank' In California
Growth in California's solar market will be driven by demand for wholesale distributed generation, as utilities shift away from central power stations to rooftop installations of one megawatt or less, said the executive director of a leading clean power consultancy.
PV America West Showcases Solar Growth Market
PV America 2012 West, 19-21 March in San Jose, California, will feature a conference program designed to provide attendees from all sectors involved with solar with tools and knowledge for the fast-changing photovoltaics industry.
Obama's Budget Would Extend Treasury Grants for Wind, Solar
President Barack Obama's proposed budget would renew and extend a subsidy for renewable-energy projects that helps pay for as much as 30 percent of development costs, according to a solar lobbying group.

Avenged Sevenfold Tease 'This Is Bat Country' Release
Avenged Sevenfold are giving fans a taste of their upcoming 'This Is Bat Country' project. Get a look here.
Avenged Sevenfold are one of the most successful American heavy metal bands of the third millennium, with an estimated 8 million copies sold of their six studio albums. First formed in 1999, in the Orange County town of Huntington Beach, California, A7X, for short, released a pair of independent albums, inspired primarily by the period's metalcore trends, before moving to a major label for their breakthrough third album, 'City of Evil,' released in 2005. This saw the band, consisting of singer M. Shadows, guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan, embracing a more traditional hard rock and metal sound that persists on subsequent releases. Sullivan died from a drug overdose in 2009, prompting the temporary recruitment of Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy for the recording of 2010's 'Nightmare.' Another blockbuster album, 2013's Billboard number one, 'Hail to the King, followed in 2013 and introduced new drummer Arin Ilejay.

Fried Egg Taco With Avocado And Chipotle Black Beans Recipe
Sep 1, 2013 10:00 am
Wrapped with avocado, black beans, chipotle sauce
Photo: Joel Salcido and Dennis Burnett
We're currently obsessed with the Austin Breakfast Tacos cookbook, having enjoyed more than one on a Food Republic field trip down South. All the famous egg tacos are in there, but this recipe via Adam at food blog Tasty Touring has those famous beans. We're all about famous beans.
"I don't remember when I started making my famous black beans with chipotle sauce, but they've always been a big crowd-pleaser and I've kept them top-secret — until now. I hope you enjoy the flavors I've had the pleasures of sharing with my friends over the years."
Servings: 2
2-3 teaspoons adobo sauce
2-3 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise
4-6 cloves garlic
juice from 1/4-1/2 lime
coarse black pepper and kosher salt, to taste
cilantro, to taste
2-4 tablespoons stock
1 (15-ounce) can black beans
6-8 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
cumin, to taste
coarse black pepper and kosher salt, to taste
chopped fresh cilantro, to taste
queso fresco
4 large eggs
coarse black pepper and kosher salt, to taste
2-4 tortillas
1 avocado, pitted and sliced
For the sauce:
- Place all ingredients in blender and mix. You'll need to taste it and adjust to get the desired consistency and flavor.
For the beans:
- Reconstitute the dried chipotles in hot water for a few minutes, remove the seeds and chop. Heat the beans, garlic and chipotles over medium heat. When the beans are warm, add cumin, and as they continue to heat, add salt, pepper and any other spices to taste. Take off the heat when the beans have softened, mix in the cilantro and serve topped with fresh cilantro and crumbled queso fresco.
For the tacos:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and fragrant, crack eggs into pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until you can see that the edges have caramelized and turned crispy. Cover pan with lid, preferably glass, and turn down heat to medium-low. While the eggs are cooking, preheat your choice of corn or flour tortilla, either in a toaster or a lightly buttered pan. Cook eggs until whites are set and yolks start to appear white but are still a bit loose. Place eggs in the tortilla with sliced avocado and chipotle sauce on top. The beans can be served on the side or rolled into the taco.

Some rumors, such as the involvement of al-Qaeda, turned out to be true. Others have been verifiably shown to be false, many of which are listed below.
George W. Bush, on September 20 2001 stated:
However, the so-called 'black box' recordings, recovered on the afternoon of September 13, have yielded additional information about the final half hour of the flight. Although its full contents have not been made public, media reports of the tape indicate that the charge by the passengers and crew did indeed take place. Nevertheless, the 9/11 Commission found from the recordings that, the passengers did not succeed in reaching the cockpit before the plane crashed.
This is not an authentic Nostradamus quatrain. It appears nowhere in his works, and Nostradamus died long before 1654.
It has since been revealed that this passage made famous in email was originally written by a Canadian student as part of an essay on the open, general and often misleading nature of predictions both by Nostradamus & others. Following the September 11 attacks, the original work appeared and then rocketed around the world in email but was the victim of many well intentioned, but misleading revisions by people who received and then forwarded on the passage.
There was indeed some footage that was staged, but it was actually shot by a Palestinian camera crew. The footage is of some cheering children and a middle aged woman eating cookies. Reporters from Der Stern and Dagens Nyheter managed to trace down and interview the woman and she claimed to have no knowledge of the attack at the time she was filmed.
There were many initial clues that the photograph was inauthentic. Flight 11 was moving at hundreds of kilometers per hour just before it struck the World Trade Center. At that speed, it ought to have been a blur. Yet the shot of the plane in the photograph is very clear - it almost seems to be stationary in the air. The aircraft pictured is a Boeing 757, while Flight 11 was a Boeing 767. The World Trade Center did not open its observation tower facilities until 09:30 hrs; the plane struck at 08:46 hrs. September 11 was a warm and sunny day in New York City, yet the man is shown wearing a heavy coat and thermal cap, both designed for cold weather. Finally, there was no observation deck on the north tower.
The original picture was taken when a Hungarian named Peter (who wished that his last name be withheld) visited the Towers on November 28, 1997. The original picture without plane and other pictures of Peter can be found on Wired's website Since then the 'Accidental Tourist' has become an internet phenomenon.
The email was traced back to a person named Laura Katsi, who apparently has no first-hand knowledge of the event and regrets passing the note along. The FBI has investigated the matter and took the unusual step of issuing a statement on the hoax, declaring the claim to be unsubstantiated. A few variations on this message are also circulating. All of these have been shown to be false.
However, since September 11 was an election day in New York that year, it is quite possible that many people did not necessarily skip work, but rather many may have gone to the polls to vote, intending to go in to work later in the day. This fact may account in part for the magnitude of the number suggested, if indeed the occupancy figures at the time of the impacts was significantly lower than would otherwise be expected.
Although only four Israelis died in the disaster, many, many Jews were killed. Confusing Israelis and Jews could lead to casualties for the latter group being radically undercounted. The U.S. State Department reports, "A total of 2,071 occupants of the World Trade Center died on September 11, among the 2,749 victims of the WTC attacks. According to an article in the October 11, 2001, Wall Street Journal, roughly 1,700 people had listed the religion of a person missing in the WTC attacks; approximately 10% were Jewish. A later article, in the September 5, 2002, Jewish Week, states, "based on the list of names, biographical information compiled by The New York Times, and information from records at the Medical Examiner's Office, there were at least 400 victims either confirmed or strongly believed to be Jewish." This would be approximately 15% of the total victims of the WTC attacks. A partial list of 390 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who died (out of 658 in the company) lists 49 Jewish memorial services, which is between 12% and 13%.
This 10-15% estimate of Jewish fatalities tracks closely with the percentage of Jews living in the New York area
Wall Street Journal Editorial "Saddam's Files"
The 9/11 Commission Report states on page 335 that Paul Wolfowitz had pressed the administration to invade Iraq just days after the attacks. "Secretary Colin Powell recalled that Wolfowitz--not Rumsfeld--argued that Iraq was ultimately the source of the terrorist problem and should therefore be attacked. [...] He argued that if there was even a 10% chance that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11 attack, maximum priority should be placed on eliminating that threat. Wolfowitz contended that the odds were far more than 1 in 10, citing Saddam's praise for the attack, his long record of involvement in terrorism, and theories that Ramzi Yousef was an Iraqi agent and that Iraq was behind the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center."
The Report also observes that "Condoleezza Rice's chief staffer on Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, concurred in its [a September 18 memo by Richard Clarke] conclusion that only some anecdotal evidence linked Iraq to al Qaeda."
On page 61, the Report notes that "Bin Laden was also willing to explore possibilities for cooperation with Iraq, even though Iraq's dictator, Saddam Hussein, had never had an Islamist agenda--save for his opportunistic pose as a defender of the faithful against "Crusaders" during the Gulf War of 1991. Moreover, Bin Laden had in fact been sponsoring anti-Saddam Islamists in Iraqi Kurdistan, and sought to attract them into his Islamic army."
In Chapter 5, we find that "To Mohammed Atta, Saddam Hussein was an American stooge set up to give Washington an excuse to intervene in the Middle East."
Retired General Brent Scowcroft, former National Security Advisor to George H.W. Bush, wrote an essay published in the Wall Street Journal in August 2002 in which he wrote, "Saddam's strategic objective appears to be to dominate the Persian Gulf, to control oil from the region, or both. That clearly poses a real threat to key U.S. interests. But there is scant evidence to tie Saddam to terrorist organizations, and even less to the Sept. 11 attacks. Indeed Saddam's goals have little in common with the terrorists who threaten us, and there is little incentive for him to make common cause with them. [...] There is little evidence to indicate that the United States itself is an object of his aggression. Rather, Saddam's problem with the U.S. appears to be that we stand in the way of his ambitions. He seeks weapons of mass destruction not to arm terrorists, but to deter us from intervening to block his aggressive designs.
A photograph of a pro-bin Laden rally in Bangladesh showed a poster of Osama bin Laden with a small but clearly identifiable image of Bert, a muppet from the children's television show Sesame Street, over his right shoulder. (Another smaller image of bin Laden is immediately to the right of Bert's image.) The photo is from Reuters, and was not doctored. In fact, the image of Osama and Bert had been created (using an image editing tool) by a humorist earlier and placed on a website, and the person who made the poster must have copied it from the World Wide Web, leaving in the image of Evil Bert.
As a response to this, the creator of the "Bert is Evil" website has taken down the site and posted a note explaining the decision. "I am doing this because I feel this has gotten too close to reality," he says, "and I choose to be responsible enough to stop it right here." For full message text, see. For a detailed account of the use of the image, in South Asia as well as by Western news agencies, see. (The latter also argues against the notion that inclusion of the Bert image of the photo is some kind of coded communication.)
Although the creator of Bert is Evil requested that all mirror versions of his site be taken down, versions of the site remain widely accessible online as of 2004.
The pictures certainly seem to be genuine, but most people see this as an example of pareidolia.
