My belief is that Jimmy Gullibon will redshirt regardless of that outcome and only wrestle if BP is injured. That's not inside info, just my belief.
And as you noticed, I am picking Gingrich over the other new Jimmy to the team. We'll see how that turns out.
I don't have picks for Minnesota yet, but this thread has spurred me to at least start putting together my stuff for my pre season picks thread.

And I would love to be able to take a stab at UNI's too, but, at this point, 174 and 184 are the only weights that have yet to be determined who the starter will be. Bonin should also be the guy at 157, but depending on how all of this breaks down, there is a guy, or possibly two, right around his weight class that could definitely challenge him for the spot, if either of them choose to go 157.
I DO think that Loder gets on this stand this year though (fingers crossed).
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
I wish someone would definitively say Colon was going 125 or 133.
You know, I think I would rather be a man than a god . We don't need anyone to believe in us. We just keep going anyhow. It's what we do.
Excited to see UNI's team this year

FlyRescue - curious, do you tip the waiter if you go out to eat? Assuming you can stomach some truly absurd margins the restaurant business demands and actually go out to eat that is...
Having managed a few retail stores and done the math on what it takes to keep the lights on, anything below 20% really quickly stops making sense of you have any employees. There's a reason small businesses only have a few employees, they're expensive. Especially if you want good ones. Then there's the whole cost of heart that building in Alaska... I'd have bought that water cooled gs I keep lusting over at trails end if i didn't have to buy oil and pellets to stay warm. Probably an atv too. Sorry Justin, hope you and yours are safe over there.
Re: Bob's bmw. Great shop, used to live 20mins from them. Bought a helmet and some gear from them. They're great at what they do but it was easily the most expensive shop in the dc area for just about everything. But the do what they do so well plus actually have inventory such as jackets in all sizes, helmets in all sizes, gloves in all sizes, a full range of women's gear, and parts in stock, that a lot of people were and are willing to pay for it. Of course, they also have 100x as many local customers...
As far as parts and apparel go, I'd love it if local shops would have what i need when i need it. I also know it's an impossible task most of the time. Some times i do better online, sometimes i make out fine locally, sometimes i get to choose getting screwed by shipping or 'overpaying' locally (of which I'll choose the latter). I honestly just wish i could find tires up here for something close to what i could get them for down south. Shipped up or purchased locally, it chaps my ass to pay double for rubber than i used to.

How to get sunlight enter into the house? Natural light is preferred over artificial light such as lamp and it would be nice if the room get enough sunlight so no more need to turn on the lamp from morning till night. Natural lighting design allows us to get sunlight. So, what we must to do to get natural lighting in homes?
1. We can start from the window. Throw heavy drapes which block out the sunlight.
However, drapes have a function to prevent dirt get into the house. There are several drapes easy to clean! So you can still cover the windows with drapes and enjoy the sun without fear of dirt which enters to house.
2. For some people, remove drapes can be a bad idea, especially someone who wanted to have their own privacy. For this case, window film is the perfect solution because can protect your privacy and not feel cold. Choose a quality one and read the guidance book about how to install it.
3. For those who want to get aesthetic drapes then sheer drapes should become a great option for a window because doesn't block sunlight into the house and easy to clean.
4. If you have sufficient funds, try to install skylights. There are many models available, choose which ones the best and able to give plenty of light.
5. The final solution for natural lighting in homes is installing a tubular skylight or solar tracking. This is an alternative choice if skylights can't give what you want.

Welcome to the area! You'll notice it's MUCH warmer down here in the
valley. :^) I'm glad you found us.
Just so you know, we're actually one of three LUGs in the Sacramento
area. The other two are:
SacLUG - The Sacramento Linux User Group
RoseLUG - The Roseville Area Linux User Group
There's actually quite a number of LUGs not too far from here.
Chico, Stockton/Modesto, and, of course, tons in the bay area.
Check out:

At first, I misread "Windows ME" for "Windows XP," and was going to point
out that "freezing" and "crashing" were fairly benign reasons to switch
from XP, compared to all of the licensing-, digital-rights-management-
and privacy-invasion-related issues that XP has.
Then I re-read and saw you had said "ME" not "XP." Honestly, I almost
never remember that ME even existed. :) It was hyped up insanely by
Microsoft, and then quickly forgotten. Kind of like a movie that
gets SO much advertising, then bombs in the first weekend, and the
production company just gives up on it. :)

Well, don't worry - there's tons of us out here, and we love helping people.
All three groups have mailing lists. LUGOD has a separate "technical"
list (vox-tech) along with our general discussion list (vox).
SacLUG's list (lug-nuts) is fairly active as well.
RoseLUG's list (firstname.lastname@example.com) is usually pretty quiet.
Perhaps when they switch from Yahoo! to a standard mailing list system,
it might get some more active subscribers.

It usually depends on how much you know about Linux and/or computers
in general, and how much time/effort you want to spend now, and want
to spend down the road.
I'll let others in the group continue giving you their suggestions.
I started with RedHat, which worked well enough, and eventually switched
to Debian (all three computers at home, and my computer here at work)
and am quite happy with it.
> I am going to be using my computer mostly for video editing
Linux doesn't really have much in the way of video editing software.
There's some Open Source stuff out there, I believe, and very likely
some really nice, reaaaally expensive commercial/professional stuff
> and for a mp3
XMMS is an excellent MP3 player that also handles many other formats
(plays audio CDs, Amiga MOD music, MPEG video, AVI/ASF video, etc.)
It's all plug-in-based, supports skins (including WinAMP ones).
(In fact, as of recently, it now supports WinAMP plugins, thanks to the
WINE ("WINdows Emulator" aka "WINE Is Not an Emulator") project!)
> and dvd player.
I believe there's a few commercial DVD players for Linux.
I don't have a DVD drive (I use my PlayStation2 for DVDs), so I haven't
paid attention.
For a long while, the only real way of playing back DVDs, thanks to
the MPAA (Motion Picture Agency(?) of America) and the
DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) legal crap, was to use some
illegal (or at least extremely questionable) software called "DeCSS."
For more on DeCSS, just search the web.
The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation), a non-profit legal group in
San Francisco, does a lot of work in regards to this (especially trying
to keep people from going to jail over this ridiculousness).

What a busy couple of weeks it has been in the land of iOS device accessories. Just a few weeks after the madness that was CES, the annual Macworld/iWorld conference made its appearance in San Francisco. And just like in Las Vegas, the conference was full of new and exciting accessories. Here are four of our favorites:
Double Robotics iPad Stand
Probably the coolest technology we saw at the conference was the iPad Stand from Double Robotics. Once an iPad is attached to the stand, it can be controlled from anywhere in the world using the compatible app. So if you can't physically make that big business meeting across the country, you can virtually attend with the Double and an iPad.
The stand can be adjusted in height from 47 to 60 inches, and the rechargeable battery lasts for up to eight hours of normal use. And the entire robot weighs just 15 pounds without the iPad.
While the technology looks fascinating, it does come at a cost. You can preorder the Double from the company's website for $2,000. It is expected to ship to buyers in the next few weeks.
I'm hoping we'll see more technology like this soon, and at a lower cost. After backing the Kickstarter project, I'm still waiting patiently for the Romo robot that costs just $150 and uses an iOS devices as its brain.
The iSlider from Rain Design
I've never been a fan of iOS device stands because normally they are big, bulky, and not something I'd want to carry around in my gadget bag. But Rain Design has an interesting solution, the iSlider. A travel-sized stand for almost any device you can think of, the closed device looks similar to the Magic Mouse and can be easily transported around for daily use.
An adjustable stand allows for a variety of viewing angles and the bottom of the iSlider has rubber grips to keep the stand in place.
The iSlider will be available soon from Rain Design for $49.95.
The CompactCase and CargoCase from Krome
Krome is looking to be the go-to solution for iPhone cases with its modular CompactCase and CargoCase. Both solutions offer the same amount of functionality, but the CompactCase is the thinner option.
While the included mirror and the ability to hold cash and credit cards isn't unique, users will soon be able to purchase other interchangeable cartridges (called "accs") for either case:
- SolarCase for charging
- BatteryCase for more power
- LaserCase for a presentation laser
- MeterCase for tracking blood glucose levels
- MemoryCase for a portable hard drive
- ToolCase with its different available tools
Either case is available for $39.95 directly from Krome's site.

Being an author isn't all fun and games!
After being told by Pan MacMillan that I had what it takes, that I had a wonderful writing style and that I could be Australia's answer to John Grisham--after which they rejected Automaton--and after a literary agent told me he didn't know how to advise me because he thought the book was very publishable--John and I did it ourselves. And back in 2001 it wasn't easy. Back then you needed print copies and you then needed to sell them door to door.
The photos show from top to bottom:
And so it continues. But it's mostly online these days and you don't need photos to know what that's like.

Director's Corner
Giving Thanks
As I hurtle toward the end of another year, the previous 11-plus months a mere speck in my memory, the onset of the holidays gave me pause.
It's been a big year at Willamette. We've welcomed what is likely the biggest freshman class in our history as well as a new president. Over 40% of our faculty joined us within the past five years, their energy and commitment melding with that of faculty who have shaped Willamette for the past 30. Thousands of alumni, parents and friends have generously shared of their philanthropic support during a time when the economy is shaky and things are a bit uncertain. All of this smacks of dedication -- a collective embrace of the vision and values that are Willamette University.
For this I give thanks. As a graduate (twice!), I appreciate those throughout our nearly-170 year history who took the time to think outside of the box, take some risks and invest when maybe others weren't investing. Those who committed to teaching what needed to be taught: how to think, what it means to be part of a community – local or global. Essentially, how to be the difference.
So as we come screeching up to 2012, I ask you to take a breath for just a second and join me in saying "thank you" to those who have come before us -- whether 100 years ago or yesterday -- and shared their support of Willamette. It is because of this generosity and commitment that we may continue to shape the world through the students who grace our campus. Thank you for making the difference and being part of our future.
Not unto ourselves alone are we born.

Preparing a semi traditional Good Friday dinner - suggestions?
My husband comes from an interesting background of fundamentalist Christian believers of all ilks. One of the traditions that his family and organizations got into was preparing a traditional Good Friday supper, loosely based on a Passover seder meal - trying to replicate what Jesus, as Jewish person, would have eaten. I've done this twice now - fish, matzos, hummus, grapes, boiled eggs, that type of thing - but am looking to branch out and include some more traditional Passover preparations? Tell me, what did YOUR bubbee make?

Everybody that knows me is familiar with my chocolate obsession. The darker and richer, the better! Every year I make a few special treats to put in my mishloach manot. These two are at the top of my list! The chocolate bark is simply delicious and always looks festive and the chocolate dipped honeycomb fits in with my Bee theme. Both are incredibly easy to make and will completely jazz up your mishloach manot!

10 Candy Recipes for Purim
Contributed by: Rivka Lieberman
I'm a big fan of sending, or receiving, candy in my mishloach manot. Although it is easier to find your favorite kosher candies in the supermarket, it is fun and rewarding to make your own candy at home. Below are 10 DIY candy recipes.
Create The Perfect Purim Gift Basket
143 comments | Leave Comment
Even though we had an extra month of Adar this year I still feel like all of a sudden Purim is creeping up on me. I have been undecided about my plan for Mishloach Manot this year when I got a call from Oh! Nuts. I knew all about Oh! Nuts, I love the gift baskets they sell, but I usually prepare my own baskets and I didn't realize the extent of what they sold. Turns out they are are a mecca of supplies to help make any food gift basket, especially though for Purim. They have homemade hamantashen, tons of chocolate specialties and tons of candy if every different color.
Bread Making Kitchen Tools
3 comments | Leave Comment
I have fully hopped on the no knead bread bandwagon and my family loves it. I make the best, tastiest and cheapest bread at least once a week that tastes like it comes from a baker and it only takes about 10 minutes active time. Read about my experiences and get my favorite no knead bread recipes here.
In addition to the various no knead breads that I make, once in a while I still take time out for Challah. Whatever kind of bread you are making the right kitchen gadgets can make it easier and better for you.
The Best Salad Tools
We love salads, they can be made up of any mix of vegetables, the options are endless. The popularity of salad bars all over have consistently grown over the last 30 or so years because we also all love to make it our own and choose from lots of toppings. You don't have to go out to have salad bar fun, consider making your own. Check out these kitchen gadgets to make salad bar creations that much more fun.
The Best Slow Cookers
7 comments | Leave Comment
Brrr, It's cold outside. This is the coldest winter in years and that means we need hot comfort food more than ever. Slow cookers make our lives easier during these short winter days. All we have to do is throw our ingredients in the pot and set it and forget it until we come home out of the cold for piping hot dinner. Oh and we have 135 slow cooker recipes for you to browse through on this site.
Even if you already have a slow cooker, I recommend considering another one. First of all you might finally decide it is time to buy a dairy one. There are lots of wonderful vegetarian dishes that you will want to top with cheese. Second, check out some of the fun new features, some might not be ok for Shabbat (ask your Rabbi), but they are all great for every day.
The Best Ways To Serve Chips and Dips
Whether you are having people over to watch the big game or just for snacks, we all love serving chips or veggies and dips. Sure you can use any old plate and bowl, but let's make life a little easier and serving a lot more fun.
The Best Gadgets For DIY Vegetable Chips
Do you ever make your own veggie chips? It is my favorite snack and almost all vegetables can be turned into a chip. I don't even really like potato chips, but I love hot and fresh from the oven baked potato chips which my husband requests practically every Saturday night. Sometimes I can convince him to have my Zucchini Chips or my Carrot Chips. The issue with all of these recipes is that they need to be cut thin and evenly. The trick for the slicing is a good mandoline.
This mandoline from OXO has a nice guard and a sharp blade with a few different slicing options, you can use it for julienne cutting too. With all mandolines be careful and make sure there is a good guard and they are very safe.
The Best Immersion Blender
2 comments | Leave Comment
One of the best inventions of all time has got to be the immersion blender. I mean how many people have burned themselves pouring hot soup into a blender and who can wait for the soup to cool off? Not me, that is for sure. One of my very first kitchen gadgets was one of these hand held blenders. It came with a nice large cup that I loved to puree anything from smoothies to eventually babyfood. The best part is, these little gadgets don't take up any space. So even in my small kitchen with two sets of everything, I can have two of these, the question is which one to choose.
I really love my Kitchen Aid 5 Speed Hand Blender you can read about here, but it does take up a bit more space and so for today I am going to talk about the basic ones, that just come with a cup.
Candy Wrapper Hair Accessories *Giveaway*

We have a very strange candy minhag in my home every Friday night when my brother in law comes to stay with us…. which is pretty much every weekend! After the dishes are cleared and the table cleaned, out comes the candy. Mike and Ike's ALWAYS make an appearance. When I was asked to come up with a craft using candy wrappers I was so beyond excited since I've been thinking about doing something with them for so long. I loved the idea of creating hair accessories out of the old boxes and wrappers. It's such a great party craft for girls or the perfect mom and daughter project to bond over.
In the JOK Kitchen with Tina Wasserman *Giveaway*
57 comments | Leave Comment
Tina Wasserman has been in the food writing business for a while, but two years ago when she wrote her first cookbook, Entree to Judaism: A Culinary Exploration of The Jewish Diaspora, she really appeared on the map. Tina loves to share the history of our food and helps us all connect to our Jewish roots through food. Her new book, Entree to Judaism For Families, is filled with the tools to help kids of all ages learn to cook in the kitchen and learn bits of history too. I had the chance to meet Tina recently and I came away with so much amazing knowledge. Let's see what we can learn now.
Your books are filled with little history lessons connecting the food to Jewish history, how did you learn all these facts?
The Best Citrus Squeezer/Juicer
For the longest time all I had to squeeze lemons was a little plastic piece that was so flimsy I didn't even like using it. I use lemons and limes often in food, but usually it is one at a time so I just did it with my hands. Then I started getting into cocktail making and I really enjoy a frozen mint mojito in the Summer and other citrusy drinks in the Winter. I finally got myself a real lemon/lime squeezer and I can't believe it took me so long.
Family Game Night Menu

It has been a really cold Winter so far and Winter hasn't even started yet. A friend told me that she heard this is going to be the snowiest winter in years and I can't even begin to guess what the Jerusalem snow storm is supposed to tell us. The lesson I am choosing to glean is to start planning some fun nights in.
Even without snow, when it starts to get really cold, people just want to cuddle up in their pajamas and stay warm. That doesn't mean the fun has to stop, instead, it is time to host a game night!! Get the kids or your friends together and enjoy your winter at home. You have to work a bit to prepare some fun food, but we will keep it easy so you don't miss out on any of the action.

Edible Holiday Gift Ideas
Contributed by: Linda Lebovic
1 comment | Leave Comment
I love presents! I love giving presents. I love figuring out the perfect present. I love seeing the smile on peoples face when they receive the present. Perhaps that is why I make giftware for a living!
It is truly better to give than to receive. And so whenever I am invited to be someone's guest, I feel it is appropriate to show up with gift in hand. Living in a large, hospitable community I have ample opportunities to exercise my gift giving passion. But frequency comes with a price. And although I specialize in giftware, I am like the shoemaker whose children go shoeless. I rarely feel comfortable just giving my own creations. So what is an appreciative guest to do?

In the spring, Millennium Pipeline Company began preliminary work on a proposal to build a 60-mile natural gas line that will connect an east-west line near Binghamton to another existing line just south of Syracuse.
Joe Heath is an environmental lawyer with the Onondaga Indian Nation. He says the line would pass through environmentally sensitive areas.
Heath and other opponents will host a public meeting tonight in Homer to get their message out ahead of public relations efforts by the pipeline company.
"There are way too many proposed pipelines and infrastructure projects being proposed in New York. We're going to get saddled with tremendous environmental danger and destruction whether they ever frack for gas in New York or not."
Millennium says the pipeline won't exclusively carry fracked natural gas. But any infrastructure in the state involving natural gas has become controversial because of a broader battle against fracking.
Heath's group is known as the "Stop the I-81 Pipeline," named for the intended path near Interstate 81. Citizens Action and local anti-fracking groups have also chimed in.
The line's official name is the Upstate Pipeline.

In the last few years, a series of peer-reviewed scientific articles has been published that establish the presence of thermitic materials at the World Trade Center (WTC). [A-D]
Although we know that nanothermite has been found in the WTC dust, we do not know what purpose it served in the deceptive demolition of the WTC buildings. It could be that the nanothermite was used simply to drive fires in the impact zones and elevator areas — fires which would otherwise have gone out too early or not been present at all — and thereby create the deception that jet fuel-induced fires could wreak the havoc seen. Nanothermite might also have been used to produce the explosions necessary to destroy the structural integrity of the buildings.
Nanothermite, also called superthermite, is the common name for a subset of metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) characterized by a highly exothermic reaction after ignition. Nanothermites contain an oxidizer and a reducing agent that are intimately mixed on the nanometer scale. Such nano-energetics are produced for various applications including propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics.
There are various ways to make nanothermites. They can be made as solid mixtures of aluminum and metal oxides which are typically produced using techniques like dynamic vapor phase condensation and arrested reactive milling. These mixtures are much like typical thermite mixtures, but with the components introduced on a much smaller scale. Alternatively, nanothermites can be made in a liquid solution that later gels, capturing the reactive components in… Continue reading

"It starts from below… They have simply blown away columns."
"This is controlled demolition."
"A team of experts did this."
Photo: Though Danny Jowenko is no longer with us, his expert analysis and
fearless testimony remain as an example to those who seek the truth about 9/11
These startling words, spoken by controlled demolition expert Danny Jowenko in 2006, ignited an international discussion over the destruction of WTC Building 7, and added to the professional voices at AE911Truth who have challenged the official explanation. As we mourn Jowenko's tragic death on July 16, we look back at how his impromptu interview shed light onto one of the greatest mysteries of the 9/11 catastrophe.
Jowenko was the owner of Jowenko Explosieve Demolitie, a controlled demolitions company headquartered in the Netherlands. He had over 30 years of building demolition experience, and his knowledge of explosives was so respected that he was sought as a contributor to the ImplosionWorld production of "A History of Structural Demolition in America".
Photo: Jowenko's team of demolition specialists has brought down numerous
high-rise buildings over the years
In September 2006, Jowenko was interviewed by a Dutch filmmaker, who presented him with footage of the destruction of WTC Building 7. It only took a few moments for Jowenko to conclude that it was the result of a controlled demolition. "This is professional work, without any doubt," he said.
When Jowenko was told that the building was brought… Continue reading

August 24, 2011 Information Clearing House — — -In a few days it will be the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. How well has the US government's official account of the event held up over the decade?
Not very well. The chairman, vice chairman, and senior legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books partially disassociating themselves from the commission's report. They said that the Bush administration put obstacles in their path, that information was withheld from them, that President Bush agreed to testify only if he was chaperoned by Vice President Cheney and neither were put under oath, that Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for investigation for obstruction of justice.
In their book, the chairman and vice chairman, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, wrote that the 9/11 Commission was "set up to fail." Senior counsel John Farmer, Jr., wrote
that the US government made "a decision not to tell the truth about what happened," and that the NORAD "tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public." Kean said, "We to this day don't know why NORAD told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth."
Most of the questions from the 9/11 families were not answered. Important witnesses were not called. The commission only heard from those who supported the government's account. The commission was a controlled political operation,… Continue reading

In the US on September 11, 2011, the tenth anniversary of 9/11, politicians and their presstitute media presented Americans with "A Day of Remembrance," a propaganda exercise that hardened the 9/11 lies into dogma. Meanwhile, in Toronto, Canada, at Ryerson University the four-day International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001, came to a close at 5pm.
During the four days of hearings, distinguished scientists and scholars and professional architects and engineers presented the results of years of their independent research into all aspects of 9/11 to a distinguished panel consisting of the honorary president of the Italian Supreme Court who was an investigative judge who presided over terrorism cases and three distinguished scholars of high renown and judgment. The distinguished panel's task is to produce a report with their judgment of the evidence presented by the expert witnesses.
The Toronto Hearings were streamed live over the Internet. I was able to watch many of the presentations over the four days. I was impressed that the extremely high level of intelligence and scientific competence of the witnesses was matched by a high level of integrity, a quality rare in US politics and totally absent in the American media.
As I stressed in my recent interview about 9/11 with Jim Corbett and Global Research, I am a reporter, not an independent researcher into 9/11. I pay attention when the fact-based community finds problems with the official propaganda. Perhaps this reflects my age. My… Continue reading

In mid-October 2011, I posted a review of David Ray Griffin's new book, 9/11 Ten Years Later — When State Crimes Against Democracy Succeed at Amazon, here.
Dear Readers,
Please submit your comments on this article at the link to Amazon, provided below by Mr. Strahl. 911Truth.org published this article; the author is not available to be reached through email to this site. We look forward to reading your comments there.
This review drew comments from James B, one of the two top people at Screw Loose Change, a leading "debunking" website used as a reference by many an internet opponent of 9/11 truth. The result was a major debunking of Screw Loose Change. This piece is intended to help those who in the future will go up against the likes of Screw Loose Change, since the trap's nature is both the content of the SLC argument as well as its form. The focus of our exchange was the evidence regarding events at the World Trade Center (WTC) on 9/11, where three steel frame high-rises were destroyed. This is the part of my review which is relevant to the debate:
Being someone with an engineering degree, it's no surprise that I find the strongest part to be Chapters 2 through 4, which deal with the three steel hi-rises which came down on 9/11. Chapter 2 has been posted previously on the web as an article, a challenge to left-leaning despisers of 9/11 truth to explain nine apparent miracles required to explain how the official story could be made congruent with the physical evidence.…Continue reading

When Underwriters Laboratories fired me for challenging the World Trade Center (WTC) report that it helped create with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it said "there is no evidence" that any firm performed the required fire resistance testing of the materials used to build the Twin Towers. Of course, that was a lie.
With this experience in mind, I checked to see how many times the 9/11 Commission Report used the phrase "no evidence," and noted in particular the times the Commission claimed to have "found no evidence" or that "no evidence was uncovered." I discovered that the phrase "no evidence" appears an amazing 63 times. An example is the dubious statement — "There is no evidence to indicate that the FAA recognized Flight 77 as a hijacking until it crashed into the Pentagon (p 455).
Of these 63 instances, some variation of "we found no evidence" appears three dozen times. This seems to be an unusually high number of disclaimers begging ignorance, given that the Commission claims to have done "exacting research" in the production of a report that was the "fullest possible accounting of the events of September 11, 2001."
The number of times these "no evidence" disclaimers appear in the report is doubly amazing considering how infrequently some of the most critical witnesses and evidence are referenced. For example, the FAA's national operations manager, Benedict Sliney, who was coordinating the FAA's response that day, appears only once in the narrative (and twice in the notes).…Continue reading

[Updated 1/21/12 to correct figures 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 2c, originally uploaded without study author's notations.]
When major shocks occur at the Earth's surface or at depth, waves of different types, magnitudes and speeds may move out from the source location. Such waves can be detected by seismometers located at recording stations, and the data from the recordings can be analyzed to learn many details of the source events. Seismic signals were recorded at stations in New York and four neighboring states on September 11, 2001 during the period when the North and South Towers (WTC1 and WTC2, respectively) were struck by airliners and collapsed, as well as during the collapse of Building 7 of the WTC, which had not been hit by a plane.
Data from the Palisades, NY recording station, located 34 km north-north-east of Manhattan, published by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (LDEO), provide the most detailed seismic waveforms for analysis, particularly for the determination of the locations (aerial, surface, or subsurface) and timing of the events that created the seismic waves.
Seismologists have been puzzled in their analysis of signals recorded for the events at the World Trade Center, as the contradictions are significant. They are particularly intrigued by the presence of seismic "peaks" before the collapses. This text focuses on the study of the seismic signals from Palisades. The new interpretation presented here renders the assertions of the seismic analysis of the events at… Continue reading
AE911Truth Documentary Excerpt Makes Waves on 100+ PBS Stations
Written by Nory King
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
AE911Truth produced a five minute version of the 15-minute mini-documentary, " Architects and Engineers: Solving the Mystery of Building 7 ," for the Spotlight On series broadcast by PBS on dozens of public television stations nationwide. According to the Nielsen Television Index, the short film was a resounding success, airing 678 times during the first three-month cycle, and was seen by an estimated 2.7 million viewers. The $10,000 that supporters like you donated to this project last year has paid off tremendously.
The Genesis of the Campaign
Two years ago, Wendy Rapkin of Trivue Entertainment contacted AE911Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, to suggest producing a segment for the Spotlight On series. Spotlight On is an ongoing series of three-to-five minute filler programs for public television that has been airing for over 20 years. Rapkin, a long time supporter of AE911Truth, felt that this would be a good vehicle to increase exposure to the public about the explosive destruction of WTC 7 on the afternoon of September 11, 2001.
"I really wanted to get the word out about Building 7," Rapkin said, "and the video AE911Truth produced is all about the science of its destruction."
Gage then met with the senior producer of Trivue Entertainment, Larry Cohen, in New Jersey. An interview was conducted and Cohen was deeply impressed with the AE911Truth message and mission. He decided immediately that he would work… Continue reading

Guest Post by Kevin Ryan, former Site Manager for Environmental Health Laboratories, a division of Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Mr. Ryan, a Chemist and laboratory manager, was fired by UL in 2004 for publicly questioning the report being drafted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on their World Trade Center investigation. In the intervening period, Ryan has completed additional research while his original questions, which have become increasingly important over time, remain unanswered by UL or NIST.
The U.S. Secret Service failed to do its job on September 11, 2001 in several important ways. These failures could be explained if the Secret Service had foreknowledge of the 9/11 events as they were proceeding. That possibility leads to difficult questions about how the behavior of Secret Service employees might have contributed to the success of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Answering those questions will require the release of existing interview transcripts as well as follow-up questioning, under oath, of a few key people within the agency.
The most glaring example of Secret Service failure on 9/11 was the lack of protection for the President of the United States after it was well known that the country was facing terrorist attacks on multiple fronts. The interesting thing about this was that it was not a consistent approach. That is, the president was protected by the Secret Service in many ways that day but he was not protected from the most obvious, and apparently the most imminent, danger.…Continue reading

We have been asked to post notice of the following petition, originally posted May 7, 2012, which has a goal of being delivered to the National Institute of Standards and Technology:
Avaaz Community Petitions has made available this petition, which at this time has 745 signatures. For more information about the organization, please see Avaaz.org/about.
Wording of petition:
Why this is important
Building 7 of the World Trade Center, a 47 story building, contained offices of the CIA, the Secret Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) several financial institutions and then-Mayor Giuliani's Office of Emergency Management.
Despite never being hit by an airplane, Building 7 was reduced to a pile of rubble in about 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001. After 9/11 this fact has been widely covered up by the U.S. mass media and was even omitted from the 9/11 Commission Report.
NIST, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (a U.S. government agency) was authorized by Congress to determine "why and how WTC 7 collapsed." NIST produced a preliminary draft of their final report in August, 2008 omitting the fact that Building 7 fell at free fall acceleration for part of its descent. After a physicist challenged NIST on this point the final report, in November 2008 admitted free fall acceleration for 105′ or 2.5 seconds.
NIST wrote, "A more detailed analysis of the descent of the north face found . . . (2) a freefall descent over approximately… Continue reading

Hot Air Day is upon us. On July 4 hot air will spew forth all over the country as dignitaries deliver homilies to our "freedom and democracy" and praise "our brave troops" who are protecting our freedom by "killing them over there before they come over here."
Not a single one of these speeches will contain one word of truth. No speaker will lament the death of the US Constitution or urge his audience to action to restore the only document that protects their liberty. No speaker will acknowledge that in the 21st century the Bush/Obama Regime, with the complicity of the Department of Justice, federal courts, Congress, presstitute media, law schools, bar associations, and an insouciant public have murdered the Constitution in the name of the "war on terror."
As in medieval times, American citizens can be thrown into dungeons and never accounted for. No evidence or charges need be presented to a court. No trial is required, and no conviction.
As in tyrannies, US citizens can be executed at the sole discretion of the despot in the Oval Office, who sits there drawing up lists of people to be murdered.
Protestors exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and freedom of association are attacked by armed police, beaten, tasered, tear-gassed, pepper sprayed, and arrested.
Whistleblowers who report the government's crimes are prosecuted despite the statute that protects them.

"9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out" is getting public attention and casting doubt on the scientific validity of the U.S. government's investigation into the WTC tragedy. PBS is the first major network to air the program.
Just days away from the 11th anniversary of the World Trade Center tragedy and months away from the U.S. presidential election, a game-changing 9/11 documentary is ranking number three among "most watched" documentaries on PBS and number one among "most shared." Available for free online August 18th – September 4th, the documentary could have a significant effect on public opinion. [Update: PBS has extended viewing indefinitely.] Both the Republicans and Democrats, as equally staunch defenders of the official story, stand to be affected if the public's suspicion of government corruption grows deeper.
An earlier report on Digital Journal found that the claims made in the documentary can be verified by reading the government reports themselves. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the government agency charged with the investigation, did not provide any data — no measurements or estimates — of the mass or energy that would be required to bring down the buildings in about ten seconds. Normally a scientific report would present all the data that is used to construct a theory. The omission of data is a red flag to anyone familiar with scientific procedure. It appears that the investigators may have intentionally produced reports that the scientific community would reject.… Continue reading
Kevin Ryan and Professor Graeme MacQueen are pleased to announce two new, peer reviewed articles that have been published at the Journal of 9/11 Studies.
The first is from German journalist Paul Schreyer and is titled "Anomalies of the air defense on 9/11." This paper identifies six major, simultaneous anomalies that occurred on September 11, 2001 with regard to the national air defenses. Here is an excerpt:
"The official explanation for the detour is that air traffic controllers at Langley had sort of a standard flight plan, sending all jets generally to the east and that this standardized eastern heading somehow replaced the original NORAD scramble order. But this seems to be a dubious claim. Because how could that have happened? The pilots knew the original scramble order. They knew which direction NEADS wanted them to fly. And then they somehow forgot? But, same as with the Otis scramble, there seems only little chance to dig deeper because 'Giant Killer', the responsible control facility, deleted all its tapes from the communication on 9/11."
The second article is from licensed structural engineer Ronald H. Brookman and is titled "A Discussion of "Analysis of Structural Response of WTC 7 to Fire and Sequential Failures Leading to Collapse." This paper discusses a recent article published in the Journal of Structural Engineering, authored by a team including several of the primary NIST WTC report authors. Brookman's discussion reviews how the NIST authors continue to ignore facts… Continue reading
On February 25, in the small town of Horsham in the United Kingdom, there will be a rare and potentially groundbreaking opportunity for the 9/11 truth movement. Three hours of detailed 9/11 evidence is to be presented and considered in a court of law where the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) will be challenged over the inaccurate and biased manner in which it has portrayed the events and evidence of 9/11.
Over the last 16 months, BBC has been challenged strongly by individuals in the UK over two documentaries that they showed in September 2011 as part of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, namely '9/11: Conspiracy Road Trip' and 'The Conspiracy Files: 9/11 Ten Years On'. Formal complaints were lodged with BBC over the inaccuracy and bias of these documentaries, which, according to 9/11 activists, was in breach of the operating requirements of BBC through their 'Royal Charter and Agreement' with the British public. This document requires BBC to show information that is both accurate and impartial. These complaints were supported by the US-based educational charity Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth), which submitted detailed scientific evidence to BBC to buttress the complaints. The evidence focuses in particular on the confirmed free-fall of WTC 7 and NIST's 2008 admission of this fact. In addition, over 300 AE911Truth petition signers supported these complaints by sending letters to BBC, requesting that BBC show this evidence to the public.
As a continuation of this process with BBC, documentary film maker Tony Rooke has… Continue reading

The pervasive news surrounding the confirmation hearing of John Brennan, Obama's nominee for CIA director, is paralleled by another, related story that has been largely ignored by the U.S. media. That is the story of the man called Abu Zubaydah, whose alleged torture testimony, obtained by the CIA while Brennan was the head of the agency's Terrorist Threat Center, built the foundation for the official account of 9/11. This week I spoke to Lee Hamilton, former vice-chairman of the 9/11 Commission, about the serious problems that the government's new stance on Zubaydah creates for the 9/11 Commission Report.
As stated in my last article on the subject, Zubaydah is at the center of an unraveling of the official account of the 9/11 attacks.[1] His extensive torture at the hands of the CIA during Brennan's tenure, which included at least 83 water-boarding sessions, hanging the man naked from the ceiling, slamming him against a concrete wall, and other atrocious experimental techniques, was said to produce valuable evidence about al Qaeda. However, the government now claims that Zubaydah was never a member or associate of al Qaeda and therefore he could not have known any of the information that the 9/11 Commission attributed to him.
From the start of our conversation, Hamilton told me that he was having trouble remembering Zubaydah. That was odd considering that an article he and Thomas Kean wrote for the New York Times in 2008, describing how the CIA obstructed the 9/11 investigation, referred several times… Continue reading
Did you know that a 3rd building fell on 9-11? That bill board is today over Times Square. It was placed there through donations to a campaign called Rethink 9/11.
In fact, that group has placed posters and signs across the world, from Australia, to Canada, from San Francisco to right here in New York City.
So what is Rethink 9/11? Wouldn't only a fringe group of people would still question 9/11? Perhaps not, because today we will tell you about new polling that shows a majority of those polled either question the official 9/11 story or don't believe it at all. Is that possible?
The first step toward truth, is to be informed.
Here in New York City, today at the site of the 9/11 Memorial, promises to never forget what happened the morning of September 11th, 2001. But never forgetting doesn't mean that you don't rethink what you have been told.
Rethink 911 is the first ever global 9/11 anniversary campaign. Sponsored by a coalition of more than 40 organizations, ReThink911 is placing ads in 11 major cities around the world this September 2013.
But what is there to rethink? According to a group called Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, you need to start by rethinking the third building that fell that day.
Building 7, behind me. That rectangular building is the new building 7. It stands a little smaller but in the same place where the original World Trade Center 7 once stood.

Alpari UK Limited
Company Overview
Alpari UK is based in London. The company does operate throughout the world. In 2013, Alpari decided to liquidate its U.S. operation, for reasons most forex traders could easily appreciate.
Alpari is one of the older online forex brokers, with a history dating back to 1998. It also offers trading facilities for precious metals, spread bets and CFDs, but for purposes of this review, it is their forex operation that will be considered.
Account Types
This broker does offer five different types of forex trading accounts. Complete details are available on Alpari's well-designed website, but here is a brief overview.
• Market-Alpari's newest account type requires only $200 for the minimum deposit.
• Pro-Two offerings, one with a $10,000 minimum deposit and the other requiring $20,000. At the higher level, traders are offered two additional trading platforms, known as Alpari Direct Pro and Alpari Direct.
• Spread Betting Account-£250 minimum
• MT5-$200 minimum and includes use of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform.
All of the accounts have some common characteristics. With the exception of the higher funded of the two Pro accounts and the MT5 account, MetaTrader 4 is the trading platform. All the account offer at least 37 currency pairs, with four of the five providing 57-59 pairs.
Commissions and Spreads
Alpari promotes spreads of as low as zero pips. This claim is denoted with an asterisk and further information that spreads will be higher in mainland China and the Middle East. There is also indication on the website that the MT5 account may have commissions imposed upon it at some point in time.
Alpari is a No Dealing Desk (NDD) broker, meaning that it does not re-quote currency prices when a trader attempts a transaction. They also function as an Electronic Clearing Network (ECN), matching buy and sell orders rather than acting as a counter-party, as is the case with a Market Maker broker.
Trading Software
Many traders are experienced with the MetaTrader 4 platform, so establishing an account with Alpari will not require a sharp initial learning curve. Users of the Alpari Direct Pro and Alpari Direct platforms are generally favorable in their remarks. At some time, it would be conceivable that Alpari will introduce a simple proprietary platform for new traders, as some can find MetaTrader 4 initially intimidating. They have mobile apps for Apple and Android devices that are well designed for small screens.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Forex trading accounts can be funded with all major credit and debit cards. Alpari UK also accepts Switch, Maestro, Visa Electron and 3D Secure authenticated Visa/MasterCard UnionPay cards. NetTeller and Skrill deposits are also acceptable.
Accounts can also be funded by bank wire transfers and check.
Regarding withdrawals, the only method Alpari seems to offer is bank wire. This places them behind many other brokers that offer several withdrawal options, especially when it is common practice for banks to charge fees for wire transfers.
Customer Support
Customer support is given more than adequate attention at Alpari. Customer service representatives can be accessed via telephone, email and live chat.
There are considerable trading and training resources available on the Alpari UK website. There are articles, video tutorials and webinars, along with a helpful section for new traders regarding the MetaTrader 4 platform. There is also a section devoted to the use of Expert Advisors (EA) for purposes of engaging in automated trading.
Alpari also provides resources pertaining to research and trading tools, along with forex news related to daily analysis throughout trading sessions and upcoming economic events.
Regulators and Safety
Under the Financial Services Act of 2012, regulatory authority of Alpari was switched from the Financial Services Authority to the Financial Conduct Authority. Alpari has a reputation for compliance and even takes measures to exceed the base requirements, so traders can have reasonable confidence in the financial stability and business practices of the company.
It is possible to obtain leverage of as high as 500:1. This is reduced to 200:1 on trades above certain limits, a practice Alpari describes as floating leverage, however, the larger Pro account and the MT5 account do not have this feature.
Sign Up Bonuses
Alpari's website does mention a promotion where a new account could qualify for up to $4,000 on certain accounts, but this section of the website is dated 2011. It does not appear at this time as though there are any current promotions of any kind. At any rate, choosing a broker on this criterion alone is probably not in anyone's best interests, since there are usually some fairly convoluted terms and conditions involve with such offers.
Alpari's longevity and generally positive perception by clients would seem to indicate that they are a forex broker deserving of careful investigation. They seem to be constantly innovating in the attempt to appeal to as many potential traders as possible, which is indicative of a vibrant, substantial business.

Enjoying the Moment...My Take on Riding Nor Cal

It's Total Recall...
Your images are what my mind recalls... of the places I've seen in your photographs. But you actually manage precision timing in setting up your photos. Honestly, I rarely am fortunate enough to visually capture many moments during the dawn or dusk "magic" hours as you so patiently do.
As I've said on other threads and have had the stark realization... It takes an extreme amount of patience beyond what great photographers require... to be a photographer by way of motorcycle. The additional patience to stop the fun of riding, to begin the fun of setting up for the photo... simply has me perplexed. The more I photograph my motorcycle travels, the more I have a greater appreciation for you that do it all so well planned, so patiently, so precise and so creatively.
And I personally love the balance of scenic photography on it's own... and also as a backdrop for a beautiful adventure bike, which conjured up the thoughts of the journey to and from. Additionally, I enjoy the short narratives that can be added giving the right subtext of the trips... like a simple reveal of the location, interesting or strange situations and drama involved.
You've certainly got the perfect balance going on.
And perhaps I'm one of the more fortunate ones in that I've experienced many of your locations first hand, so I can really appreciate how much more special you manage to capture these in photos. Just like I wish I could do, and as I swear they reflect in my mind from when I was there, only better... As I recall.

text: On Earth, very simple but powerful methods to detect life by the DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are now standardly used. Due to massive meteoritic exchange between Earth and Mars (as well as other planets), a reasonable case can be made for life on Mars or other planets to be related to life on Earth. The sensitive technologies used to study the extremes of life on Earth can be applied to the search for life on other planets. Our team is working to develop a PCR detector for in situ analysis on other planets, most immediately, Mars.

Carlo Ancelotti has called on Italy to believe in their chances of winning the FIFA World Cup™, even though Cesare Prandelli's side enter the tournament in unconvincing form.
The 2006 champions' preparations included draws with Republic of Ireland and Luxembourg, plus failure to convince despite beating Brazilian club side Fluminense 5-3.
However, the Real Madrid coach has urged the four-time FIFA World Cup winners to pull in the same direction and take inspiration from his side, who won the UEFA Champions League last season.
"When you take part in a World Cup there is always a lot of excitement and tension and everyone needs to chip in if you want to achieve something big," said Ancelotti in a letter published in La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"However, people are sceptical about our chances, and do not believe in us. Well, I can guarantee that if the team and the coaching staff stay united and all read from the same page, then the atmosphere will become more favourable, and results are more likely to go our way.
We are a strong team tactically, we are experienced and we have players that can make the difference.
"That is how Real Madrid won the Champions League. That's why now it's important to encourage Italians to get behind our lads."
The Italian accepted that Prandelli's side are far from being the tournament favourites, but also pointed out that they were unfancied before the victorious FIFA World Cups of 1982 and 2006.
Italy begin their campaign against England in the stifling conditions of Amazonian city Manaus, before facing Costa Rica and then Uruguay. "We are in a difficult group," admitted Ancelotti.
"But our opponents should be worried about our presence in it. One thing is for certain: facing Italy is difficult for every team. We are a strong team tactically, we are experienced and we have players that can make the difference."

Garden secrets
It's not too late to sign up to see some of the best gardens around.
There are still openings for the 15th annual Secret Garden Tour, sponsored by the Duluth Garden Flower Society.
The tour, from 8:15 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 17, will feature seven gardens in the Duluth area, from rustic country gardens to meticulously maintained urban ones.
Participants have a choice of being chauffeured to the different gardens by air-conditioned bus with lunch at Brighton Beach thrown in, all for $35. Or you drive yourself with the map provided and no lunch for $17.
(Eh? recommends the bus tour. It's less hassle.)
To register, go to www.dgfs.us to download a sign-up form to send in. Those without Internet access can call garden society President Tom Kasper at (218) 590-1337.
Edible landscape
Speaking of gardens, UMD is embracing the "edible landscape" idea to teach students and others about food systems, healthy eating and sustainability.
Inspired by the Slow Food Nation Victory Garden in front of San Francisco's City Hall, several edible gardens have been created on campus this year. Raised gardens in large rectangle plots rimmed with burlap-covered straw bales are taking root by the Life Science Building. Among them, the Salsa Garden containing — what else? — ingredients for making salsa. Then there's the "Three Sisters Garden" containing corn, squash and beans.
Volunteers work on the gardens on the weekends, weeding and watering. Total cost for the project was $5,000, with most coming from the Campus Beautification Fund.
"This is just the first year, so we are kind of making it up as we go," said Candice Richards of the UMD facilities management department.
Much of the produce will be used in cooking workshops for students.
But the gardens have a bonus benefit, helping to control the temperature of the rooms below the concrete surface.
"It will be really interesting to see if it works and really cools the site off," said Peggy Dahlberg, UMD landscape supervisor. "We will keep careful records and hopefully it will lead to the removal of the concrete slab and to making a completely green roof."
Lakeside, the city
Did you know Duluth's Lakeside neighborhood was once a city in its own right? It even had its own mayor for a time in the latter half of the 1800s.
You can learn all about it from noon to 1 p.m. July 15 at the Ruth Maney Room at the Depot.
In his lecture, "When Lakeside was a City," Mark Atkinson will focus on the period from the 1850s to 1893 and share historic photos and documents. He'll also talk about the inaccuracies he's found in his research on the area's history. The event is free. Participants can bring a bag lunch, with coffee provided.
For more info, call Julie Bolos at (218) 733-7568 or e-mail julie@the historypeople.org.

Materials needed:
-1 large mason jar or glass
-an egg
Optional (but recommended) material:
-a spoon
Step 1: Putting the egg in a Jar.
Step 2: Adding the vinegar
The egg should not float. if it does, it means it's spoiled, and you probably want a new egg.
After all, why would you want to de-shell a rotten egg? It would smell terrible...
Step 3: Watch and wait.
Step 4: Marvel at it's nakedness.
After a while, your egg should be totally shell-less. but in order to really enjoy it, you need to drain it. take the spoon (or your fingers, for you stubborn people) and hold the egg back as you pour out the vinegar. then just lift it out of the jar.
Step 5: Enjoy!
okay, I was just kidding about throwing it at a random pedestrian.
I can't condone that.
Another fun Idea is to show it to someone, and give them an unshelled egg. then ask them to try to do it themselves. 9 times out of ten, theyll try to pick of the shell off with their hands, and it will burst all over their hands.
Very amusing.
BTW, maybe it's just a detail, but seems to me that the shell is made of "Calcium Carbonate" =o)
If so, please, where did you borrowed the idea and the pictures ?
