The ABC News website has finally acknowledged the existence of alternative research and popular doubts about what really happened on September 11, how and why. We welcome this breakthrough.
We are very pleased that the article by Dean Schabner, published today on the front page of the ABC News website, seems to have fairly quoted two persons among the many citizens pursuing alternative research and actions for justice and full disclosure around 9/11.
We hope that ABC News will follow up with televised broadcasts on this subject, and give a fair hearing to all points of view.
Even as we thank ABC News, we must unfortunately also note that its article adopts a dismissive tone toward doubts about September 11, in advance of full inquiry. The headline is mildly misleading; the unanswered questions about September 11 did not merely "surface" on the eve of Election Day, but have been the subject of untiring work by hundreds of researchers for more than three years and the subject of such best-selling books as The New Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin and the recent Crossing the Rubicon by Michael C. Ruppert.
No basis whatsoever is given for the assessment of the ABC Polling Unit that the Zogby International survey of New York residents cited in the article (co-commissioned by 911Truth.org) is "not credible."
Using the same established methodologies as in other surveys regularly cited by ABC News and other major media, Zogby polled a representative sampling of 808 adult New York… Continue reading
Editor's Note:
This long heads-up analysis of our apparently imminent war on Iran by CIA veteran (and 9/11 Truth Statement co-signer) Ray McGovern is vital reading for three reasons. One, it outlines the endgame of the Bush team's global petro-dominance plan, a plan that arguably first became public when planes started striking the WTC towers in New York. Second, it speaks clearly and courageously about Israel's provocative nuclear arsenal and the overwhelming power Israeli rightists like Sharon now wield over US policy. And finally, it instructively portrays the hell-bent Orwellian mindset of the reigning neocon crew, who were collectively called "the crazies" in the Reagan/Bush era and whom Colin Powell was still calling "the f**king crazies" a year after 9/11 hit. It is not a pretty picture, but understanding the methodic deception that empowers their madness also moves us closer to 9/11 truth.
Attacking Iran: I Know It Sounds Crazy, But…
By Ray McGovern
"'This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous.'
"(Short pause)
"'This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous.'
"'And having said that, all options are on the table.'
"Even the White House stenographers felt obliged to note the result: '(Laughter).'"
(The Washington Post's Dan Froomkin on George Bush's February 22 press conference)
For a host of good reasons — the huge and draining commitment of U.S. forces to Iraq and Iran's ability to stir the Iraqi pot to boiling, for starters — the notion that the Bush administration would mount a "preemptive" air attack on Iran seems insane. And still more insane if the objective includes overthrowing Iran's government again, as in 1953 — this time under the rubric of "regime change."
But Bush administration policy toward the Middle East is being run by men — yes, only men — who were routinely referred to in high circles in Washington during the 1980s as "the crazies." I can attest to that personally, but one need not take my word for it.
According to James Naughtie, author of The Accidental American: Tony Blair and the Presidency, former Secretary of State Colin Powell added an old soldier's adjective to the "crazies" sobriquet in referring to the same officials. Powell, who was military aide to Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger in the early eighties, was overheard calling them "the f—ing crazies" during a phone call with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw before the war in Iraq. At the time, Powell was reportedly deeply concerned over their determination to attack — with or without UN approval. Small wonder that they got rid of Powell after the election, as soon as they had no more use for him.
If further proof of insanity were needed, one could simply look at the unnecessary carnage in Iraq since the invasion in March 2003. That unprovoked attack was, in my view, the most fateful foreign policy blunder in our nation's history…so far.
It Can Get Worse
"The crazies" are not finished. And we do well not to let their ultimate folly obscure their current ambition, and the further trouble that ambition is bound to bring in the four years ahead. In an immediate sense, with U.S. military power unrivaled, they can be seen as "crazy like a fox," with a value system in which "might makes right." Operating out of that value system, and now sporting the more respectable misnomer/moniker "neoconservative," they are convinced that they know exactly what they are doing. They have a clear ideology and a geopolitical strategy, which leap from papers they put out at the Project for the New American Century over recent years. Continue reading

The War on Truth: 9/11, Disinformation, and the Anatomy of Terrorism
by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
Description: Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed outlines the relationship between the West and radical Muslim groups like the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) in Algeria, and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in Serbia. Mr. Ahmed says that these groups, parts of which are now affiliated with Al Qaeda, were used by the United States and Britain to further Western political and economic goals. He argues that a more complete investigation of this relationship is necessary to understand what happened on 9/11. Mr. Ahmed also talks about the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1996 British attempt to assassinate Libya's Muammar Gaddafi in this light. This talk, held at American University in Washington, DC, was organized by the DC Emergency Truth Convergence (www.truthemergency.us). Includes Q&A.
Author Bio: Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed is executive director of the Institute for Policy Research & Development (www.globalresearch.org) based in Brighton, UK. He is the author of "The War on Freedom: How and Why America was Attacked, September 11, 2001."

New book: 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out
Edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott
Olive Branch Press (Interlink Books)
Pre-pub Review (more follow…)
"This is the most important book of our time. Distinguished national and international scientists and scholars present massive evidence that The 9/11 Commission Report is a hoax and that the 9/11 "terrorist attack" has been manipulated to serve a hegemonic agenda in the Middle East. The book's call for a truly independent panel of experts to be empowered to bring out the true facts must be heeded or Americans will never again live under accountable government." — Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury during the Reagan administration

9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out
David Ray Griffin, Peter Dale Scott, Peter Phillips, Kevin Ryan, Ray McGovern
Description: Editors and contributors to the book, "9/11 and American Empire," assess the Bush administration's responsibility for the attacks on 9/11, arguing that key administration officials either purposefully ignored the threats leading up to the attacks or were complicit in the planning them. The panelists say that the administration has used the attacks to enact long established plans to expand American empire. The participants are: David Ray Griffin (co-editor/contributor), Peter Dale Scott (co-editor/contributor), Peter Phillips (contributor) and Kevin Ryan (contributor). Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern moderates the discussion. The event was hosted by Berkeley, California-based Pacifica radio station KPFA (www.kpfa.org).
Author Bio: David Ray Griffin, professor emeritus of philosophy and theology at the Claremont School of Theology, is the author of "The New Pearl Harbor" and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions." Peter Dale Scott, former Canadian diplomat and former professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley, is the author of "Deep Politics and the Death of JFK" and "Drugs, Oil, and War." Peter Phillips, professor of sociology at Sonoma State University and director of the Project Censored media research program, is most recently the co-editor of "Censored 2007: The Top 25 Censored Stories" and "Impeach the President: The Case Against Bush and Cheney."

In Bayoneting a Scarecrow The 9/11 conspiracy theories are a coward's cult." (Guardian, February 20), George Monbiot accuses members of the 9/11 truth movement of being "morons" and "idiots" who believe in "magic." Having in his previous attack—"A 9/11 conspiracy virus is sweeping the world," Guardian, February 6—called me this movement's "high priest," he now describes my 9/11 writing as a "concatenation of ill-attested nonsense."
If my books are moronic nonsense, then people who have endorsed them must be morons. Would Monbiot really wish to apply this label to Michel Chossudovsky, Richard Falk, Ray McGovern, Michael Meacher, John McMurtry, Marcus Raskin, Rosemary Ruether, Howard Zinn, and the late Rev. William Sloane Coffin, who, after a stint in the CIA, became one of America's leading civil rights, anti-war, and anti-nuclear activists?
If anyone who believes that 9/11 was an inside job is by definition an idiot, then Moncbiot would have to sling that label at Colonel Robert Bowman, former head of the U.S. "Star Wars" program; Andreas von Bülow, former State Secretary in the German Federal Ministry of Defense; former CIA analysts Bill Christison and Robert David Steele; former Scientific American columnist A. K. Dewdney; General Leonid Ivashov, former chief of staff of the Russian armed forces; Colonel Ronald D. Ray, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense; all the members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, Veterans for 9/11 Truth, and Pilots for 9/11 Truth;… Continue reading
04/30/07 "ICH" — — "If you can't say something positive about someone, don't say anything." This was drummed into me by my Irish grandmother and, as was the case with most of her admonishments, it has stood me in good stead. On occasion, though, it has been a real bother–as when I felt called to comment on George Tenet's apologia, In the Center of the Storm, coming soon to a bookstore near you.
On the verge of despair, I ran into an old classmate of Tenet's from PS 94 in Little Neck, Queens. Help at last. He told me that George was more handsome than his twin brother Billy, and that his outgoing nature and consummate political skill got him elected president of the student body.
Positive enough, Grandma? Now let me add this.
George Tenet's book shows that he remains, first and foremost, a politician–with no clue as to the proper role of intelligence work. He is unhappy about going down in history as "Slam Dunk Tenet." George protests that his famous remark to President Bush on Dec. 21, 2002 was not meant to assure the president that available intelligence on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was a "slam dunk." Rather he meant that the argument that Saddam Hussein had such weapons could be readily enhanced to slam-dunk status in order to sell war on Iraq. Yesterday evening on CBS' 60 Minutes Tenet explained what he meant when he uttered those words–the words he says have now been distorted to blame him for the war in Iraq.…Continue reading

911 Truth
So you implement one of the most stupendous black-ops of all time. Considering the multitude of variables, you've put together a fairly convincing cover story that fixes blame on Islamic terrorists. Using the full weight of the political establishment you bulldoze away public discussion of the truth. A complaisant press repeats your lies in a ciclo infinito forte. Though a few malcontents won't buy it, they're marginalized. Then along comes your worst nightmare: a distinguished theologian whose cross-disciplinary specialization involves highly sophisticated reasoning that requires familiarity with logic, science, and the scientific method — a man with no personal vested interest whatsoever (and no way to falsely hang one on him), who digs in tenaciously to ask the right questions, and who becomes a true patriotic hero to many. In short order, despite the media blackout, a very large percentage of the public becomes skeptical. Such is the story of Dr. David Ray Griffin (PDF), a leader of the 911 Truth movement and author most recently of Debunking 9/11 Debunking. We all owe David an enormous debt of gratitude for his insights, energy, and determination. It was a real privilege to talk with him, and I'm sure his balanced views will continue to gain public support. Total runtime here of an hour and thirteen minutes. Listen carefully and please redistribute widely.
We Will Sit In for Impeachment
David Swanson, 07/05/07
On July 23rd phone John Conyers at 202-225-5126 or send him a fax with one click.
Cindy Sheehan to Lead March for Impeachment, Arlington to Capitol Hill, July 23rd
WHAT: March from Arlington National Cemetery to the Capitol Hill Office of Congressman John Conyers to ask him to begin impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney or President George W. Bush or both. Participants hope to meet with Congressman Conyers and receive his assurance that impeachment proceedings will begin at once in the House Judiciary Committee, which he chairs. Many of those participating have commited to only leave if Conyers agrees to begin impeachment or they are arrested.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been the driving force against impeachment in Congress. If there is no agreement to begin impeachment proceedings by Monday, Sheehan will announce her candidacy challenging Pelosi for election in California's 8th Congressional District.
WHO: Cindy Sheehan, mother of Casey Sheehan, KIA in Iraq 2004, founder of Gold Star Families for Peace and of the Camp Casey Peace Institute; Ray McGovern, 27-year veteran of the CIA and cofounder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity; Rev. Lennox Yearwood, President of the Hip Hop Caucus; Ann Wright, retired U.S. Army Colonel and diplomat who resigned in protest the day the U.S. invaded Iraq; Debra Sweet, national coordinator of the World Can't Wait; Dave Lindorff, author of "The Case for Impeachment," David Swanson, cofounder of AfterDowningStreet.org; Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin, both cofounders of Code Pink; Kevin Zeese, director of Democracy Rising; Tina Richards, military mother and creator of GrassRootsAmerica4Us; and many many others.…Continue reading
Editor's comments, continued:
The partisan circus that spent $80 million+ to investigate and impeach Clinton (compare to the $3 million originally alloted to the 9/11 Commission mandated "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks") for perjury, rather than pursuing his myriad other crimes, certainly cheapened the weighty Constitutional duty of impeachment. Elizabeth Holtzman, a member of the House Panel that impeached Richard Nixon, thoroughly discusses this in her excellent book, "The Impeachment of George W. Bush." In her article, "Impeachment: The Case in Favor" published in the February, 2007 issue of "The Nation," she states:
Our country's Founders provided the power of impeachment to prevent the subversion of the Constitution. President Bush has subverted and defied the Constitution in many ways. His defiance and his subversion continue. (emphasis added)
"Failure to impeach Bush would condone his actions. It would allow him to assume he can simply continue to violate the laws on wiretapping and torture and violate other laws as well without fear of punishment. …
"There is no remedy short of impeachment to protect us from this President, whose ability to cause damage in the next two years is enormous. If we do not act against Bush, we send a terrible message of impunity to him and to future Presidents and mark a clear path to despotism and tyranny. Succeeding generations of Americans will never forgive us for lacking the nerve to protect our democracy."

What do Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, chair of the House Committee on the Judiciary, and President George W. Bush have in common? They both think they can dis Cindy Sheehan and count on gossip columnists like the Washington Post's Dana Milbank to trivialize a historic moment.
I'll give this to President Bush. He makes no pretence when he disses. He would not meet with Sheehan to define for her the "noble cause" for which her son Casey died or tell her why he had said it was "worth it."
Conyers, on the other hand, was dripping with pretence as he met with Sheehan, Rev. Lennox Yearwood and me Monday in his office in the Rayburn building. I have seldom been so disappointed with someone I had previously held in high esteem. And before leaving, I told him so.
Throwing salt in our wounds, he had us, and some 50 others in his anteroom arrested and taken out of action as the Capitol Police "processed" us for the next six hours.
As we began our discussion with Conyers, it was as though he thought we were "born yesterday," as Harry Truman would put it. With feigned enthusiasm he began, Let's hold a Town Hall meeting in Detroit so we can talk about impeachment. Get out my schedule; let's see, we need to hear from everyone about this.
Been there, done that, I… Continue reading

Official Account of 9/11 a "Joke" and a "Cover-up"
September 23, 2007 — Seven CIA veterans have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and have called for a new investigation. "I think at simplest terms, there's a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke," said Raymond McGovern, 27-year veteran of the CIA, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates during the seventies. "There are a whole bunch of unanswered questions. And the reason they're unanswered is because this administration will not answer the questions," he said. McGovern, who is also the founder of VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity), is one of many signers of a petition to reinvestigate 9/11.[1]
During his 27-year CIA career, McGovern personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials. Upon retirement in 1990, McGovern was awarded the CIA's Intelligence Commendation Medallion and received a letter of appreciation from then President George H. W. Bush. However, McGovern returned the award[2] in 2006 in protest of the current George W. Bush Administration's advocacy and use of torture.
In his blurb for 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott, McGovern wrote[3]: "It has long been clear that the Bush-Cheney administration cynically exploited the attacks of 9/11 to promote its imperial designs. But the present… Continue reading
'A Coup Has Occurred'
By Daniel Ellsberg
September 26, 2007 (Text of a speech delivered September 20, 2007)
Consortium Editor's Note: Daniel Ellsberg, the former
Defense Department analyst who leaked the secret Pentagon Papers history of
the Vietnam War, offered insights into the looming war with Iran and the loss
of liberty in the United States at an American University symposium on Sept.
Below is an edited transcript of Ellsberg's remarkable speech:
I think nothing has higher priority than averting an attack on Iran, which
I think will be accompanied by a further change in our way of governing here
that in effect will convert us into what I would call a police state.
If there's another 9/11 under this regime … it means that they
switch on full extent all the apparatus of a police state that has been patiently
constructed, largely secretly at first but eventually leaked out and known and
accepted by the Democratic people in Congress, by the Republicans and so forth.
Will there be anything left for NSA to increase its surveillance of us? …
They may be to the limit of their technical capability now, or they may not.
But if they're not now they will be after another 9/11.
And I would say after the Iranian retaliation to an American attack on Iran,
you will then see an increased attack on Iran — an escalation —
which will be also accompanied by a total suppression of dissent in this country,
including… Continue reading
"Those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous
official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough and impartial
investigation be undertaken." ~ Dr. Lynn Margulis (Distinguished

National Academy of Science's Space Science Board Committee on Planetary Biology
and Chemical Evolution, former chairperson.

The 234th Anniversary of the Boston
Tea Party: 9/11 Truth Comes to the "Hub"
In 1858, Oliver Wendell Holmes coined the phrase, "The Hub of the Solar
System," when referring to the Massachusetts State House in an Atlantic
Monthly article, "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," in which he
boastfully implied that Boston at that time was the center of everything intellectual.
One hundred and forty nine years after Holmes penned the affectionate metaphor
and two hundred and thirty four years after the infamous Boston Tea Party, Bostonians
are again attempting to appeal to the "Hub's" intellectual prowess,
this time with regard to the academic and scientific challenges taking place
around the world concerning the government's official explanations of the September
11, 2001 attacks.

"There are few things as odd as the calm, superior indifference with which I and those like me watched the beginnings of the Nazi revolution in Germany, as if from a box at the theater. … Perhaps the only comparably odd thing is the way that now, years later…."
These are the words of Sebastian Haffner (pen name for Raimund Pretzel), who as a young lawyer in Berlin during the 1930s experienced the Nazi takeover and wrote a first-hand account. His children found the manuscript when he died in 1999 and published it the following year as "Geschichte eines Deutschen" (The Story of a German).
The book became an immediate bestseller and has been translated into 20 languages–in English as "Defying Hitler."
I recently learned from his daughter Sarah, an artist in Berlin, that today is the 100th anniversary of Haffner's birth. She had seen an earlier article in which I quoted her father and e-mailed to ask me to "write some more about the book and the comparison to Bush's America. … This is almost unbelievable."
More about Haffner below. Let's set the stage first by recapping some of what has been going on that may have resonance for readers familiar with the Nazi ascendancy, noting how "odd" it is that the frontal attack on our Constitutional rights is met with such "calm, superior indifference."

In the article The Radical Alternative (Cynthia McKinney), Mumia Abu-Jamal puts forth a serious question, why not Cynthia McKinney?
Cynthia McKinney takes speaking truth to power to a whole new level. She has time and again stood against and spoken out about the very things we all complain about. She has taken the lashes with a grace the media never allowed you to see.
While speaking at a conference McKinney said,
"Warriors don't have medals, they have scars. The corporate media has emblazoned for all the world to see…my scars".
Scars. That's all the American public knows of Cynthia McKinney.
MTR News had a chance to sit down with this presidential candidate and talk about the many scars on our nation. The woman we met was nothing like the corporate media has portrayed her to be. The woman we met was a warm, vibrant, intelligent, and articulate leader.

From Tell Somebody host, Tom Klammer:
I just returned Monday afternoon from Minneapolis, where I attended the National Conference on Media Reform.
With a little help from Ray McGovern, co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, I met his friend and colleague, VIPS member and FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley at a Code Pink Party Friday night, and then sat down and talked to her for an hour Saturday morning at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
Here is part of her bio as posted on PBS' NOW website for her appearance on that show in 2005:

In January of 1981, Rowley was appointed a Special Agent with the FBI and initially served in the Omaha, Nebraska and Jackson, Mississippi Divisions. In 1984 she was assigned to the New York Office and for over 6 years worked on Italian organized crime and Sicilian heroin drug investigations. During this time Rowley also served three separate temporary duty assignments in the Paris, France Embassy and Montreal Consulate.
In 1990 Rowley was transferred to Minneapolis where she assumed the duties of Principal Legal Advisor (now known as "Chief Division Counsel") which entailed oversight of the Freedom of Information, Forfeiture, Victim-Witness and Community Outreach Programs as well as providing regular legal and ethics training to FBI Agents of the Division and some outside police training.

I'm passionate to a fault sometimes....my greatest strengths are also some of my greatest weaknesses....I am inspired by unlikely people, places, and things...my goal in life is to be a day maker, someone who impacts everyone they meet in a profound and positive way...making people smile in an otherwise negative and discouraging world is the greatest reward you can strive for. People often ask me why I am "just a bartender", and my response is always the same....As a member of the service industry, I am often the last line of hope, the shoulder to cry on, the only one who will listen, the only friend some have, I get the chance to help change people's lives just by being there. I know their life stories, their wives' and kids' names, everything they love/hate about their jobs....if someone has reached a point of despair, I have the chance to maybe change their outlook a little. I have had quite a few bumps in the road of life, and while at times I thought there was no hope, there was always something better ahead.
I have a wonderful, supportive family...who even though we don't always (or ever haha) agree, always has my back. I'm a blessed child of divorce because not only do I have a mom and a dad, I have also gained a wonderful stepfather and another set of grandparents and all the wisdom and life experience they have to share with me!
The friends I surround myself with are all positive, trustworthy, outgoing, brilliant, loving people. I am not sure how I became so fortunate to have them in my life, but I could not be happier about it.

MLS Regular Season
Chris Seitz and his amazing story of bone marrow donation from fall 2012 was featured on this week's MLS Insider!
For information on how to get involved and possibly be a life-saving match for someone yourself, click here.
Full match highlights: FC Dallas 2, Seattle Sounders FC 0
MISS: Lamar Neagle's bicycle attempt goes just wide.
GOAL: Matt Hedges gives FCD the go-ahead goal off Michel's free kick.
GOAL: Michel taps in the insurance goal after a frantic sequence in the box.
Kenny Cooper loves to play the Chicago Fire as a member of FC Dallas. There can be no doubting that.
Cooper scored two more goals against Chicago on Saturday night to up his career tally against the Fire to eight goals in eight matches, making him the all-time FCD leading scorer against their Brimstone Cup rivals.
For his effort, Cooper was named to the MLSSoccer.com week 33 Team of the Week.
Said MLSsoccer.com about Cooper: FW: Kenny Cooper (FC Dallas) – Unfortunate to be on the losing end after a commendable two-goal effort against Chicago to make it three goals in two games for the big striker. His resurgence may have come too late to save Dallas this season, but it should bode well for his and the team's chances in 2014.

If you watched MLS or NFL games around the country last weekend, you no-doubt saw plenty of pink around the field celebrating breast cancer awareness month and that pink is coming to Frisco.
For Saturday's game against Chicago, you'll see lots of pink around the field including special pink match balls, pink corner flags, jerseys with the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon and pink goal nets like these in Seattle.
Je-Vaughn Watson wasn't around at FCD practice today to talk about his fantastic assist in Salt Lake as he's joined up with the Jamaican National Team for upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against the United States and Honduras, but FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman certainly had a reaction to Watson's lung-bursting run.
"We've seen Je-Vaughn do that before where he just knocks the ball [forward] and starts running like Usain Bolt," said Hyndman. "He's a tremendous athlete, so my reaction was 'here he goes' and then he got past the player and I thought 'now will he make the right decision' and he made a perfect choice."
"What a change, because I would imagine that when I made the change to bring him on, Salt Lake is winning 1-0 and they probably had a smile on their face with Castillo coming off because he was terrorizing them to a point, but I don't think they were prepared to get a fresh person on the field that's a runner and I think that paid off for us."
The run gets more impressive every time you watch it as Watson bursts forward from the right side of the field over to the left in what is likely a 100+ yard run culminating in a ball that eventually made it across to Cooper for FCD's goal. Watson's assist was just another solid moment in what has been a rich run of form for the Jamaican with a goal and two assists in his last four appearances.
FC Dallas took a point from Rio Tinto Stadium off 10-man Real Salt Lake via a Kenny Cooper second-half goal. Here's the highlights from the penultimate road game of the season:
FULL HIGHLIGHTS - FC Dallas 1 Real Salt Lake 1
POST - Jackson's header caroms off the post early in the first half
RED CARD - RSL defender Kenny Mansally sent off for upending Jackson
SAVE - Rimando with a huge stop on Jackson's flick
SAVE - Seitz comes up big on Grabavoy chance
GOAL - Saborio latches on to a long ball and volleys it past Seitz
GOAL - Cooper finishes Watson cross

After years of world war, no wonder Marshall was skeptical. But he was also a man of hope. In the years that followed this world war, Marshall helped to usher in not one, but two solutions to peace in Europe -- the Marshall Plan, which helped to revive and rebuild the economies of Western Europe, but also NATO, which protected Western Europe from aggression during the Cold War.
During this period, President Truman said that, "Individuals make history and not the other way around. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better." That is certainly true of the leaders who helped to build a new trans-Atlantic community of free nations, a half century ago. And it is true today, at another turning point in history. Today we have the opportunity to complete Marshall's vision of a Europe whole and free. In order to achieve that vision, we must summon the courage and skill to extend the trans-Atlantic community of free nations.
There is no better place to address this future than here in Prague. Thirty years ago in Prague Spring, tanks rumbled down these streets to crush the stirrings of liberty. Now, liberty is blooming throughout Eastern and Central Europe. NATO and Russia have signed the Founding Act, which commits us to a future of cooperation, not confrontation. We are transforming NATO into an alliance for the 21st Century, with new missions and new partners. Now NATO is ready to take the historic step of inviting new members into the alliance by 1999, the 50th anniversary of the alliance.
NATO has come a long way in four years. In the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union, some said there's no threat: why do we still need NATO? And why should the United States maintain this commitment to European security?
We still need NATO because NATO is essential for European and North American defense and security. Over the past four decades, NATO has been a unifying force for stability in a fragmented, unstable world. The United States remains committed to NATO because if Europe is in danger, America is in danger; when Europe is secure, America is secure. That is why US forces along with allies and partners are helping to give peace a chance to endure in Bosnia. And that is why America is committed to building a new NATO for the security challenges of the 21st Century.
Together we have made a lot of progress in building this new NATO in the year since our last workshop in Warsaw. We are launching the Enhanced PFP and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, which will bring NATO and its Partners even closer together with more intensive military exercises, planning, consultations and other activities. These outreach programs also pave the way for further NATO enlargement and offer a role for European democracies that do not seek formal membership in the Alliance. We also have made great progress in changing NATO's internal structure to create a stronger European defense identity.
Most importantly, in two weeks we will invite the first round of new members into NATO. Last month in a speech to the US Military Academy at West Point, President Clinton outlined the four key reasons why NATO enlargement is crucial to European security.
First, NATO enlargement will strengthen the Alliance in meeting the security challenges of the 21st Century. Collective defense is better than going it alone. Enlarging NATO will enlarge the circle of like-minded nations able to protect one another from threats of the new world, including ethnic conflict, regional aggression, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Some have asked whether adding new members will dilute NATO's military strength. The answer is an unmitigated "no." Every new member of NATO will be a contributor of security, not just a consumer. That means their forces will be able to fight alongside NATO's and help protect NATO territory.
The second reason to enlarge NATO is that it will help secure the historic gains of democracy in Europe. NATO membership will provide new democracies with the security to become even stronger democracies in the 21st Century, just as in the past NATO membership provided Western European nations such as Germany, Italy and Spain the security they needed to establish and cement strong democratic principles.
The third reason to enlarge NATO is that it will encourage prospective members to resolve their differences peacefully. By enlarging NATO, we enlarge the zone of stability NATO provides. In the past, NATO membership has helped to reconcile France and Germany and provide a forum for resolution of tensions between members such as Greece and Turkey.
Today, NATO's open door has provided a powerful impetus for Central and Eastern European nations to resolve past disputes and reach a series of unprecedented agreements to ensure stable borders, promote cooperation and address mutual concerns about the treatment of ethnic minorities. These agreements include the Polish-Lithuanian treaty of 1994, the Hungarian Slovakian treaty of 1996, the agreements between Poland and Ukraine, and the 1996 treaty between Hungary and Romania. And I applaud our Czech hosts for their 1996 agreement with Germany over Sudeten and other issues.
Finally, enlarging NATO will erase the artificial line in Europe that divided the continent during the Cold War. The prospect of NATO membership is like a magnet, drawing our nations closer together. Taken with the Partnership for Peace, the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council and the NATO-Russia Founding Act, enlargement is serving to connect our capitals, coalesce our militaries and bridge our differences. Just the mere act of discussing, consulting and negotiating over the future of European security has erased the mental dividing lines, replacing them with growing trust, understanding and cooperation. Meanwhile, our nations are erasing the old divides from the ground up as our forces serve together in Bosnia.
There is overwhelming evidence that enlarging NATO will be good for the North Atlantic community. Now the question for NATO is which new members to invite first? After extensive discussion with Allies and candidate countries, with members of Congress, and within his Administration, President Clinton last week decided that the United States will support Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic for the first round invitations on the basis that these three countries have demonstrated the necessary level of progress on military, political, economic and social reform. At the same time, the United States recognizes the impressive strides made by Slovenia and Romania and views both as strong candidates for future NATO membership.
The United States has adopted the deliberate approach to enlargement because inviting accession is a highly important action. It carries heavy obligations both for the new and the old members. The prudent course is to defer invitations where the countries are on the right path, but need more time. This approach is all the more appropriate given that the door to membership is going to remain open.
There are some other advantages to limiting the number of the initial invitations. The problems and costs of enlargement will be diminished, if only a limited number of countries need to be assimilated into NATO's operations at one time. A small initial group underscores that there are really going to be additional rounds. And the United States also took into consideration the view that for so momentous a decision, there ought to be a strong consensus in its support. And therefore it's right to act now only in the cases where there is strong unity of view leaving others for later action.
It's a basic premise of US policy that there should be a clear commitment by the Alliance at Madrid to early further rounds of membership. First, we should make an unequivocal commitment to keeping the door open. Second, we should continue our dialogues focused on membership issues. Third, we should explicitly reject the notion that any European democracy will be excluded from membership solely on the basis of geography. Fourth, the Alliance should regularly review the progress of additional nations toward readiness for membership.
In addition, we're going to attach great importance to implementing the measures the Alliance has planned to strengthen the links between NATO and Partner countries whether they are seeking membership or not.
But it is not enough for us to shake hands and sign papers in the relative privacy of our capital halls and conference rooms. NATO enlargement cannot occur -- and indeed, it should not occur -- without the consent of the people of our nations and their elected legislative representatives. As President Clinton said last month, "Because it is not without cost and risk, it is appropriate to have an open, full, national discussion."
As democracies, we have learned that public support for government actions, particularly actions involving national security, legitimizes those actions. As Thomas Jefferson said in 1799, "citizens have a right to full information in a case of great concernment to them. It is their sweat which is to earn all the expenses of war, and their blood which is to flow in expiation of the causes of it."
So we need to have "open, full, national discussions" about the costs and benefits of enlarging NATO. And we must have these discussions not just in the 16 NATO nations, but in every nation that would join NATO. That is the proposition I present tonight. Together, we must begin now to build public support in Europe and America for NATO enlargement.
50 years ago, George Marshall faced a similar challenge with the Marshall Plan. In his Harvard University commencement address outlining the need for the plan, he said, "The very mass of facts presented to the public by press and radio make it exceedingly difficult for the man in the street to reach a clear appraisement of the situation." Marshall then spent the next year trying to remedy that problem. He traveled across the United States promoting the plan to labor unions, farmers, journalists, local politicians, women's groups, veterans and others. In the end, the US Congress approved the plan.
In closing, let me congratulate our hosts, President Havel and the people of the Czech Republic, for their efforts to integrate their nation into the Europe that George Marshall envisioned 50 years ago. They demonstrate the good that comes when people focus their energies on the future. President Havel once told a story that exemplifies this way of thinking. Sometime after he became president, he was approached by a man who interrogated him during his last spell in jail in 1989. The man had a bold favor to ask: Would President Havel put in a good word for him so he could stay with the police as an interrogator? The President said yes, and he did it.
That generosity of spirit is what the new Europe is all about. It is the spirit of George Marshall 50 years ago, reaching America's hand across the Atlantic. It is the spirit of new hands today that reach across the old divides in Europe. By keeping with this generosity of spirit, we can realize Marshall's vision for a North Atlantic community with a new Europe, whole and free.

So, I am frantically finishing up some last minute gifts… how bout you, my friends? I thought I'd throw together a quick… and I mean this was quick, so be kind… tutorial for ya'll to throw into some stockings or pass to your friends and such. Last year I made some key fobs for everyone, but this year I wanted to spice some things up a bit.
Here's how I did it.
You will need:
one main piece of fabric 12″ x 4″
One piece of interfacing 12″ x 4″ … I used a medium weight fusible interfacing and it was a fab result.
Also, one piece of contrasting fabric for your cute ruffle 3/4″ x 24″
thread and other sewing stuffs
Fuse the interfacing to the wrong side of your main piece and press in half length wise.
Next fold each long side in towards the middle and press.
Grab some matching (or fairly matching in my case) thread and sew down each long side using a 1/8″ top stitch
Now, take your ruffle piece and using a narrow and long zig zag stitch, stitch down each long edge to keep the piece from over fraying. I like the look of a little fraying, but not tons. If you want less, you could also serge the edges (lucky you if you have one!) or use some sort of no fray stuff. Here's the setting on my machine that I used for this.
This is what it will look like
You could also use a tighter zig zag closer to the edge to limit fraying as well.
Next, using a long basting stitch (5 on my machine) stitch down the middle of the ruffle piece. Be sure to leave long tails of thread at the beginning and end. Do not backstitch over this.
Now, pulling the top threads on each end, create a ruffle that will fit the size of your key fob. Then even out the ruffles and pin it to the middle of the key fob.
Sew this down the middle attaching it to the key fob.
Now, fold the key fob, short sides together with the ruffle on the inside, slip on the D ring (I forgot that the first time and so we did some fancy seam ripping super quick!) and stitch this closed using a 1/4″ or so top stitch.
Now turn the ruffle side out and slide the D ring up towards the stitched side. Like so…
Now, stitch this as close to the D ring as you can. I used my zipper foot in fact. Worked like a charm!
See!! Super quick, super easy, and super cute! Go make tons for all the cute girls you know.
I'm going to TRY to do a post tomorrow to let you in on all the other quick easy gifts I'm doing… you know, links and such.
Ta for now!

GROCH: Make it marinara
Joanne Humphreys of Menifee has been looking for the marinara sauce recipe from Ravioli's in Lake Elsinore. I wasn't able to get it from the restaurant, but Chantal Sickle of Bonsall wrote to say that if you take the cooking class on the "Mother Sauces" from Chef Giuseppe at Ravioli's, you can get the recipe that way. Call 951-245-7242.
Meanwhile, an anonymous reader sent in a simple recipe for Marinara Sauce, which is usually made up of tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and herbs:
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, split
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, peeled and diced (see note)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon oregano flakes
1 tablespoon sweet basil
3 tablespoons freshly minced parsley
Pour oil in saucepan; add garlic, and cook until garlic turns golden, then remove. Add salt, pepper, oregano and basil, stir for a minute or so, then add tomatoes slowly, trying not to lose the simmer. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes more, then add fresh minced parsley. Taste for seasoning. Pour over hot spaghetti or linguine.
Note: To peel fresh tomatoes, boil a pot of water and immerse the tomatoes for 12 seconds to loosen skin. Skin should split and be easy to peel off. Peel tomatoes and chop.
The recipe also notes that this "miracle sauce" is used in many meals, and suggests also trying it in these ways, among others:
-- Pour over barbecued steaks or pork chops.
-- Drop raw eggs into simmering sauce.
-- Mix in with boiled navy beans and salad macaroni.
-- Pour over baked fish.
Reader Rescues: Maura Harvey of Rancho Santa Fe requests some recipes using stevia as a sweetener, "for those of us with diabetes." Readers, if you have recipes using this sweetener, please send them to the address at the end of this column.
-- Lost cookie: Connie Waugh of Fallbrook needs to replace a cookie recipe she had that used milk chocolate toffee bits; Ghirardelli 60 percent Sweet Chocolate; and Red Raspberry (seedless) jam. She says it's "a few years old." If anyone has a recipe specifically using these ingredients, please send it on in.
And just for fun: Harrah's Rincon Casino & Resort is holding a Farmers Market from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday in the hotel lobby. Local and area vendors will be selling everything from fresh fruits and veggies, olive, avocado and grapeseed oils, baked goods, local honey, lavender, plants, jewelry, and crafts. The Harrah's Rincon Bakery team will also be selling cupcakes, cookies, caramel apples and whole pies. Note: Those under 21 will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Visit www.harrahsrincon.com.
Now, speaking of tomatoes: A while back I asked for recipes for tomato preserves or tomato jam using cloves, a real old-fashioned treat. Bites readers to the rescue! This recipe is from Anne Johnson of Fallbrook:
Per quart tomatoes, peeled, chopped, heated and pressed through sieve, add
3 cups sugar, white or brown

The Browns have won two straight. Against the Saints and Patriots, no less. So obviously Eric Mangini's hot seat is cooling off, right?
If the Browns had won two straight with Jake Delhomme or Seneca Wallace, that might be an accurate statement. But the fact that they're winning with McCoy is bad news for Mangini.
Remember, McCoy is Mike Holmgren's hand-picked quarterback. He went over the heads of both Mangini and GM Tom Heckert to select McCoy in the 3rd round even though he wasn't the top rated prospect on their draft board.
Mangini's dislike for McCoy continued into the preseason when kind words about the rookie were few and far between. And after he publicly dressed down McCoy on the field after a preseason loss, local reporters speculated that Mangini may wish to keep Brett Ratliff (Mangini's hand-picked quarterback) as the 3rd-stringer instead of McCoy.
So you think Holmgren is going to let Mangini reap the benefits of McCoy's rookie success? HA!
Holmgren loves nothing more than developing quarterbacks. He was Steve Young's quarterbacks coach at BYU. He was then the quarterbacks coach for both Young and Joe Montana in San Francisco. Then as a head coach he helped develop Brett Favre and later Matt Hasselbeck. And what do all those guys have in common with McCoy? None were 1st-round picks.
And now you think he's going to let someone else coach his latest project?
Not a chance.

Track Posts Multiple First-Place Finishes
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Multiple first-place finishes paced the West Virginia University track team to a strong showing at its last home indoor meet, the Gold-Blue Open, on Friday at the WVU Shell Building.
To begin the meet, the Mountaineers took the top four spots in the 500-meter run with freshmen Christa D'Egidio and Peyton Hampson leading the way with a first and second place showing with personal-best times of 1:17 and 1:18.34, respectively.

Let's hope this betokens many more loans and exchanges between Glasgow Life and the National Galleries. Edinburgh has the art held on behalf of the nation (but rarely shares); Glasgow has the McLellan Galleries (crying out for a loan exhibition). And here's a further thought: what about the National Galleries in Edinburgh taking a long lease of the Maclellan Galleries in Glasgow?

Dysmenorrhea or Menstrual cramps is a condition in which women get severe pain in lower abdomen, pain in the hips, lower back, and inner thighs. The pain and intensity of menstrual cramps varies from woman to woman.In some women pain of menstrual cramps is mild but in some it is very severe and also cause headache,dizziness and vomiting.Menstrual cramps are caused by contractions in the uterus specially when it contracts too strongly press nearby blood vessels and reduce supply of oxygen to the muscle tissue of the uterus and results in severe pain. Uterine contractions are caused by prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are natural molecular compounds made by the body and cause uterine contractions and results in menstrual cramps. However you can cure this problem by following some natural remedies which are given below:
Home Remedies to Cure Menstrual Cramps

You can drink ginger tea with some honey or lemon juice added to it. You can drink this tea at regular intervals throughout the day to reduces the pain of menstrual cramps.

(6)Consuming Flax seed is one of the best home remedy for reducing prostaglandin, which minimizes the pain of menstrual cramps. Women should take one and two tablespoons of flax seed during the menstrual cycle. You can sprinkle ground flax seed over your salad or can consume a cup of yogurt by mixing a teaspoon of ground flax seed.
(7)Crush one teaspoon of fennel seeds(saunf) to make a powder. Then add one cup of boiling water. Let it steep for five minutes. Strain it and then drink it while it is still hot. This is also one of the best home remedy to cure menstrual cramps.
(8)Eating ripe bananas also help a lot to reduce menstrual cramps.

(5)Cut down on junk food and red meat and try to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
(6)If you are allergic to some natural ingredients then avoid such tips which contain those ingredients which are harmful for you but if you don`t get relief by any of above natural home remedies then immediately consult your problem with Lady Doctor or Gynaecologist.

New York — The United Nations has urged South Sudan, one of the eight countries not party to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), to ensure it ratifies the treaty "without delay".
Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary-General and Ahmet ÃÂœzümcü, the Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) made the call Tuesday, in a joint communication to heads of states.
The CWC is an arms control agreement, which outlaws the production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons. The agreement is administered by the OPCW, an independent organization based in The Hague, Netherlands.
Both leaders, in letters, addressed to representatives of the eight countries, reportedly underscore the importance of achieving the universality of the Convention as a condition necessary to attain a world free from chemical weapons.
"The continuing growth in the membership of the (OPCW)... is evidence that the prohibition against the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons constitutes a universal norm," the letter reads in part.
In addition, however, the letter reportedly calls upon the respective governments to undertake a commitment to the legally binding prohibition against chemical weapons in order to consolidate these norms and to ensure that such weapons are never re-used.
So far, 188 states out of the 196 recognized by the UN have reportedly ratified the convention, representing more than 98% of the world's population and chemical industry.
However, of the eight states that are not party to the treaty, two have reportedly signed, but not ratified the treaty. These are Burma and Israel, while those that have not signed the treaty, include Angola, North Korea, Egypt, Somalia, South Sudan and Syria.
In October this year, a high-level meeting in New York to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the entry into force of the convention, stressed the importance of achieving universality of the agreement.
The UN Secretary General, while speaking on the occasion, highlighted the importance of universality of the CWC, saying the use of chemical weapons by any country would be "an outrageous crime with dire consequences."
Meanwhile, in early 2010, the total world declared stockpile of chemical weapons was reportedly about 30,308 tons, and that a total of 71,315 tons of agents, 8.67 million munitions and containers, and 70 production facilities were declared to OPCW before destruction activities began.
The UN has, however, expressed concerns that while several countries not party to the treaty are suspected of having chemical weapons, especially Syria and North Korea, member states like Sudan and China have reportedly failed to disclose their stockpiles.

This project is a frequency standard based on GPS signal that has the advantage of great stability.
Using the GPS Satellite system offers the advantage of very accurate timing and by extension, frequency control. The long term error is to all intents and purposes zero, with time and frequency accuracy being comparable to the international standard. The traditional route is to use a relatively low cost GPS receiver module which outputs a 1 Pulse per second signal (1 PPS) aligned to UTC.

Attempted Kidnapping in Delhi
I just returned to the US after a brief explore of India. I'd never been to Asia and I'm hoping to next year do a big ride. So this was just a little intro-to-India trip.
On Monday I was booked on the 6 AM Delhi-Agra train. I left the hotel at 5 by taxi and arrived at the train station at 5:30. On the way the taxi driver warned me that the train station could be very dangerous and he actually looked very nervous, which I took as a bad sign, because I had already learned to not trust taxi drivers in India; not that all India taxi drivers are crooks, but I thought to myself, If this man is a Crook, and he's Nervous, then this might actually be Dangerous. But in my mind, I was thinking that Dangerous meant that somebody might try to lift my wallet or my backpack if I wasn't looking.
As I approached the security checkpoint and machines a man in a black coat, who I took to be part of the security, told me that for the Delhi-Agra train, I needed to go through the other security. At the other security, another man in a black coat, who I thought was part of security, told me that my train was cancelled, but that I could catch a 7:30 train from a different train station.
Always there are men trying to get you to take cars and taxis, and I was not surprised that this black-coated man wanted me to take his friend's car. I agreed to go to the other train station, but by cab, not car. The security man "helped" me by telling the taxi driver where to go. In Hindi, of course, which I do not speak.
Leaving the train station in the taxi I had chosen, with a driver that did not speak English, I suddenly got a very bad feeling. I asked the taxi driver to confirm which train station he was taking me to, and he said, "No train station," and then something else, something describing a different place. The taxi was moving and I actually opened the door and got ready to jump out. The taxi driver said not to worry, and he took me back to the train station. I picked a random porter out of the group that was there, and he very quickly helped me find my train. We ran right through security, which was actually a big joke: the x-ray machine was on, and the conveyor belt was moving, but nobody was actually monitoring anything. We ran along the platform and very easily found the car that had a printout of the passengers, and right in the middle was my name.
Men working with "security" are running a scam/kidnapping plan. It is very difficult to know who is legitimate security, and who is not, and I'm not sure if there's much difference. The taxi was taking me to a location other than a train station. In the best case, they would have convinced me to take a private car to Agra, for around US$250. In the worst case, they would have robbed me of all my money, and maybe even taken me to an ATM and forced me to withdraw as much as I could.
The police are useless. There were none anywhere near the train station. It would have been useless to file any kind of complaint.
I'm embarrassed that this almost happened to me. I've been to about 35 other countries and I usually have much better sense.
I am Charlie.

You guys, THIS IS SOAP. Felted soap to be exact. Fiat Luxe soap is handcrafted to combine color, form, texture, and fragrance and you use it just like any other bar of the stuff. Except obviously, this is stuff is much better smelling than Dial and way more awesome to lather up with.

June marked by Korn.
I'm fucking excited. Today I was read that the fourth of June in Warsaw will host the Korn concert. I am happy as a kid in a toy store. Of course I'll be there, because live music is brilliant. Particularly in the case of our favorite team. Haha, my throat and neck have protest, because probably I will not say anything a few days after the concert, and I will need some stiffening, because I won't be able to keep my head on my shoulders.
And now for something nice about Korn ^^
Anarchic introducing dubstep to their sound, Korn stood at the edge of the musical revolution for both hard rock and electronica. Their debut album swept the world by storm schizophrenic metallic catharsis. No one has ever played heavy music with such personal lyrics as they are. The third musical proposal of 1998 Follow the Leader, which is a perfect bridge between hip-hop and heavy metal Korn placed in the position of inspiring innovators.
Heavy metal - the head of Korn - has undergone a renaissance in 2000. Slipknot, Staind, Disturbed and many others drew inspiration from Korn.
The Path of Totality is the title of the last studio album the group. "This is the future of metal," declares vocalist Jonathan Davis. "We mix metal and electronic music, which in theory should not be doing. Since the first day of Korn is an exception to the rule, experimenting and trying to take the music in different places."
based on the biography written by Rick Florino team
It will rape my ears and brain. I have to be at the scene. ^^ And see guys from Korn at close quarters. I'm sooooooooooo excited now ^^

Tdawgg66, For the framework puzzle you've asked about, the starting four-letter word in the upper left hand corner is BASE. Hope this will be of some help to you. Bernadette
How did you know where the puzzle was Bernadette? I'm curious. Trying to picture myself looking at page 25 through all the hundreds of books I have. CC
Meanwhile, TDawg is nowhere to be found, and doesn't even say if the "base" hint was helpful. I wonder if TDawg even SAW that hint! Maybe, and maybe not. And sometimes, a person can figure out how to ASK a question of a new forum, but then can't figure out how to go back and find answers.
I enjoy solving Frameworks, but the symmetry of the Fill In puzzle, to me, is more fun. What do you think?
Chris, I liked your "funny" picture, but the blueberries are pretty, too.
