General Myers was acting head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on September 11th. On September 13th, he is going for a nomination hearing to be made head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This is the most important day of his life because on this day that Myers, an Air Force General with thousands of hours of time flying fighter planes, is acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It's the only day in history that the continental United States has ever been attacked from the air.
Myers claims he is at Senator Max Cleland's office at 8:40 EDT. He sees on TV that the first plane has hit the World Trade Center. He claims on Armed Services Radio that at that point he went in and met with Cleland for an hour. Nobody called him and told him that a second plane had hit, that the air corridor had been closed between Washington and Cleveland, that a plane had been hijacked in Ohio and was flying back to the Pentagon. Then he also claims that when he walked out of Cleland's office, he was handed a portable phone and it was the head of NORAD–the North American Aerospace Defense Command–telling him the Pentagon had been hit.
Now these are unbelievable assertions. Doesn't the man have a beeper? Doesn't the man have a cell phone? Doesn't the man have a secretary who knows where… Continue reading

Happy coincidenting!
That governments have permitted terrorist acts against their own people, and have even themselves been perpetrators in order to find strategic advantage is quite likely true, but this is the United States we're talking about.
That intelligence agencies, financiers, terrorists and narco-criminals have a long history together is well established, but the Nugan Hand Bank, BCCI, Banco Ambrosiano, the P2 Lodge, the CIA/Mafia anti-Castro/Kennedy alliance, Iran/Contra and the rest were a long time ago, so there's no need to rehash all that. That was then, this is now!
That Jonathan Bush's Riggs Bank has been found guilty of laundering terrorist funds and fined a US-record $25 million must embarrass his nephew George, but it's still no justification for leaping to paranoid conclusions.
That George Bush's brother Marvin sat on the board of the Kuwaiti-owned company which provided electronic security to the World Trade Centre, Dulles Airport and United Airlines means nothing more than you must admit those Bush boys have done alright for themselves.
That George Bush found success as a businessman only after the investment of Osama's brother Salem and reputed al Qaeda financier Khalid bin Mahfouz is just one of those things – one of those crazy things.
That Osama bin Laden is known to have been an asset of US foreign policy… Continue reading
Those who would expose 9/11 truth face daunting obstacles: A government shrouding the evidence in secrecy. A near-blackout in the mass media about the anomalies associated with Sept. 11. Widespread denial and resistance to even imagining hypotheses that deviate from the official story.
(911Truth.org Editorial – August 20, 2004)
Frustrated 9/11 researchers may naturally wish for an instant smoking gun, a killer clue like the one invariably discovered by detectives on the TV show CSI, something to finish off the official story in a single blow. Unfortunately, this impulse invites a lot of misinformation, spurious theories, and e-mail reports from fabricated whistleblowers. Many of these notions are packaged as bombshell revelations in the area of physical evidence.
These "discoveries" typically misinterpret some sliver of evidence, often building an edifice on little more than a few low-resolution stills from video. An early player in this game was the "Webfairy," who claims that the video of the first tower attack (as taken by the Naudet Brothers on 9/11) does not show an airliner but rather a missile or mystery object. For a complete dismantling of this fallacy, along with a professional's introduction to standards for assessing video evidence, we recommend the articles by Eric Salter at questionsquestions.net/WTC/767orwhatzit.html and his recent follow-up at questionsquestions.net/WTC/webfairy.html . Salter explains why it is important for 9/11 truth activists to confront the spread of false evidence head-on in his discussion of Gerard Holmgren, a writer who has… Continue reading

Friday, August 27, 2004
A new campaign within the burgeoning September 11th truth movement is calling on journalists and citizens to confront the authors of "The 9/11 Commission Report" with key questions ignored in their report, and to demand full disclosure.
"Besides recommendations, the Commission was supposed to provide the full and definitive account of 9/11 events," said David Kubiak, executive director of 911Truth.org. "Unfortunately, its evasions are so obvious that the Commission is effectively abetting a cover-up" His group is accompanying the Kean Commission's nationwide tour with an online dossier of research on the report's failures, available at the 911Truth.org website.
The initial version begins with just a few of the most obvious 9/11 Omissions:

66% Call For New Probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New York's Attorney General, New Zogby International Poll Reveals
(Utica, NY) – On the eve of a Republican National Convention invoking 9/11 symbols, sound bytes and imagery, half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act," according to the poll conducted by Zogby International. The poll of New York residents was conducted from Tuesday August 24 through Thursday August 26, 2004. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/-3.5.
The poll is the first of its kind conducted in America that surveys attitudes regarding US government complicity in the 9/11 tragedy. Despite the acute legal and political implications of this accusation, nearly 30% of registered Republicans and over 38% of those who described themselves as "very conservative" supported the claim.
The charge found very high support among adults under 30… Continue reading

Marin on Saturday, September 11 that features speakers from diverse popular movements, plus a variety of humorists, artists, and healers—all converging around the mounting evidence that high-level forces within the U.S. government were complicit in the tragic events of three years ago. Speakers include noted authors and luminaries such as Jim Garrison (president, State of the World Forum), Medea Benjamin (cofounder of Code Pink and Global Exchange), bestselling investigative journalist Jim Marrs, and comedian Swami Beyondananda. The proceedings will open with a free 9/11 film festival on Friday evening, September 10. (The links below give complete details on the activities of the weekend.)
Under the conference theme of "birthing a new world through facing America's shadow," a series of independent researchers will share evidence that brings into serious doubt the validity of the 9/11 Commission Report as well as the Bush administration's official story. The program will then transition into speakers who will address the need for systemic social and political changes in the light of these findings. A final emphasis toward late afternoon will be placed on healing and comedy, with several leading spiritual teachers, artists, and entertainers offering words of wisdom and humor. An interfaith group of ministers and healers will also be on hand for the event throughout the day.
In addition, author Jim Marrs will continue presenting "9/11 truth" on his West coast book tour, beginning with a 4-hour "9/11 Intensive" on the afternoon of September 12th, at the College of Marin, along with videographer/activist Ken… Continue reading

– The 9/11/01 Crimes in New York City
by Jim Hoffmann and Don Paul
A Book Exposing the Core Facts of the September 11th Attack.
"This concise, thoroughly-sourced and richly illustrated book exposes the core facts of the 9/11/01 crimes —
that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were destroyed through controlled demolition,
and consequently, that the attack was an inside job."
Recommended by Dr. KEVIN DANAHER, Cofounder, Global Exchange:
"People who know that our government lies to us on a regular basis need to consider the possibility that there is a huge lie being perpetrated regarding what really happened on 9-11-01. An objective examination of the facts shows that there are dozens of holes in the official story being promoted by the Bush administration and the corporate media. Do yourself and our country a favor by taking off the blinders, confronting your fears, and considering the possibility that our leaders are lying to us once again. Don Paul's and Jim Hoffman's Waking Up … does the public a great service by graphically exposing some of the lies regarding the 9/11/01 crimes in New York City, and then proposing alternatives to the system that perpetrates such crimes and lies."

A Comprehensive Chronicle of the Road to 9/11–and America's Response
by Paul Thompson
Reviews of the book
"THE TERROR TIMELINE is a tremendous resource that will give readers a truly independent means of judging our government in its errant conduct of the war on terror."
— PETER LANCE, author of Cover Up and 1000 Years for Revenge
"A spectacular resource that is an essential tool for anyone who is truly interested in understanding the events leading up to 9/11."
— CRAIG UNGER, author of the House of Bush, House of Saud
"This is the basic book on 9/11. Paul Thompson's work tells what happened that day, tracing the events leading up to the attack, and what has transpired since. After years of self-serving reports by ineffectual politicians in Washington, there is at last an independent report, based entirely on publicly known facts, that is thorough and reliable. Read it and decide for yourself whether there was a cover-up. It is truly remarkable. Thank God there are people like Thompson."
–JAMES RIDGEWAY, author of The March to War
"Paul Thompson's Timeline has served as the definitive source for any researcher attempting to penetrate the mysteries of 9/11. This book [could] effect a major change in the course of U.S. history."
— PETER DALE SCOTT, author of Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Columbia, and Indochina

Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil by Michael C. Ruppert is a detective story that gets to the innermost core of the 9/11 attacks. It places 9/11 at the center of a desperate new America, created by specific, named individuals in preparation for Peak Oil: an economic crisis like nothing the world has ever seen.
The attacks of September 11th, 2001 were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon discovers and identifies the key suspects and persons of interest — finding some of them in the highest echelons of American government — by showing how they acted in concert to guarantee that the attacks occurred and produced the desired result.
In describing the contents of the book he has spent two and a half years researching and writing Ruppert said:
"In my new book I will be making several key points:
1. I will name Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was he a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks he was running a completely separate Command, Control and Communications system which was superceding any orders being issued by the NMCC [National Military Command Center], or the White House Situation Room.
2. I will establish conclusively… Continue reading

During the Republican National Convention, when the GOP was zealously exploiting 9/11 to sell Bush-Cheney and the endless "war on terror," a poll was released stating that half of New Yorkers now think that Bush team members purposely allowed 9/11 to happen and thus abetted the attacks.
In the first scientific poll of public attitudes about possible government complicity in the 9/11 attacks, Zogby International reported on Monday, August 30th that over 49% of New York City residents believe that U.S. government leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to take action" and 66% called for either Congress or the New York Attorney General to reopen the 9/11 investigation. (See http://zogby.com/news)
"This is yet another demonstration that the 9/11 Commission did not answer or even address most of the victim families' most serious concerns, and that public hunger is now growing for some real 9/11 truth," said Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb.
"Since April 2004 the Greens have been the only political party to express solidarity with victim families exasperated or outraged by the Kean Commission cover-up. We have consistently supported their demands for a new investigation which addresses all of their unanswered questions, especially those suggesting foreknowledge, criminal negligence and complicity."
Cobb also voiced deep concern about the lack… Continue reading

NEW YORK — Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney accused Republicans on Thursday of exploiting the memory of Sept. 11, 2001, for political gain and repeated her implication that truths about the attacks remain untold.
The DeKalb County Democrat, who is running to reclaim the 4th District congressional seat, was voted out two years ago after making controversial comments about the Sept. 11 attacks during a radio interview. She implied that the Bush administration had known the attacks were coming but did nothing to prevent them.
On Thursday, she chaired a hearing staged by activist groups and researchers who say the government has covered up information related to the hijackings.
"No organization, no administration, no forces, no powers that be are going to crush the truth of what happened on Sept. 11 to the ground," she vowed.
She said the New York event, dubbed the "Omissions Hearings," had "no political agenda other than the truth." By contrast, she said, the Republicans who came to Manhattan to hold their national convention last week "stormed into New York City, their words dripping with the politicization of an American tragedy."
McKinney's Republican opponent, Catherine Davis, said in a telephone interview that it is "really unfortunate that the former congresswoman from Georgia has not been able to bring herself to stand with our government, with our troops when we have an open declaration of war against the terrorists."
McKinney said she would not back off the issue… Continue reading

September 11, 2004 was a time of sad remembrance and deep reflection for all Americans. For some, it was also a day to ask for honest answers to troubling questions, as yet unanswered, about the events of 9/11 . . .
"It has taken three years for the details of the terrorist plot of 9/11 to emerge. The fateful turns that led to the attacks have finally entered the public discourse. Their lessons, however, have yet to be learned. The first lesson is that the highest officials in government did not want us to know the truth." — Bill Moyers, Andrew Meier, Sherry Jones
September 11, 2004 was a time of sad remembrance and deep reflection for all Americans. For some, it was also a day to ask for honest answers to troubling questions, as yet unanswered, about the events of 9/11.
A grass roots national movement of truth-seekers is gathering momentum and gaining credibility with each day. A growing library of evidence has been compiled, which refutes the "official" story of what happened with exhaustive research and precise analysis. Books by David Ray Griffin and Jim Marrs, along with numerous articles, DVDs, and web sites deconstruct the story presented by the government and used as the pretext for its international war on terrorism, leaving dozens of unanswered questions. The amassed material is as compelling as it is heartbreaking.
It is worth noting here that two weeks ago, on August 30, Zogby International, the… Continue reading
An open letter to Congress from 25 national security experts, including former FBI whistle-blower, Sibel Edmonds
Date: September 13, 2004
To The Congress of The United States: The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States ended its report stating that "We look forward to a national debate on the merits of what we have recommended, and we will participate vigorously in that debate." In this spirit, we the undersigned wish to bring to the attention of the Congress and the people of the United States what we believe are serious shortcomings in the report and its recommendations. We thus call upon Congress to refrain from narrow political considerations and to apply brakes to the race to implement the commission recommendations. It is not too late for Congress to break with the practice of limiting testimony to that from politicians and top-layer career bureaucrats-many with personal reputations to defend and institutional equities to protect. Instead, use this unique opportunity to introduce salutary reform, an opportunity that must not be squandered by politically driven haste.
Omission is one of the major flaws in the Commission's report. We are aware of significant issues and cases that were duly reported to the commission by those of us with direct knowledge, but somehow escaped attention. Serious problems and shortcomings within government agencies likewise were reported to the Commission but were not included in the report. The report simply does not get at key problems within the intelligence, aviation security, and law enforcement communities.… Continue reading

Posted 08 March 2013 - 06:13 PM
Cutlass update. Interior is almost finished. Just need to add dash decals and glue everything together. Tonight I flocked the floor and lower door panels.
One problem I did notice was with the door panel decals. They were a little bit short to cover the whole area they are supposed to cover. The passenger side decal also has the same cut out for the mirror adjusters as the drivers decal. Luckily Revell includes 2 center consoles (for automatic and 4 speed trans) and the extra decal film can be trimmed to cover up the area that should have been covered in the first place.

Update time, I would have got this up sooner but photobucket was being a pain. Anyway after alot of thinking (and yes that hurt) I decided it would be best to scratch build a frame rather than extend the original for the twin Hemi's. So after a few burnt fingers and choice words this is what I got, it's my very first attempt at a custom frame so we'll see where it goes.
That's pertty much what I got for now, I will start on the GTX soon, I just want to get this a little futher along seeings how this is uncharted water for me.
Everyones builds are looking great so far.

Have some progress to show on my Viper. Got the chassis mostly together and added some carbon fiber accents to the interior. The body probably won't be done for a while since I have to sand and repaint, but it will be a dark silver color. Hopefully that will be a bit less noticable when it is flying down the interstate!
Posted 16 March 2013 - 04:23 AM
Hi all, Quick update, There was a slight oversight made when I measured the width of the frame, my measurements were made using the out side of the body not the inside. The frame also sat higher in the rear than I wanted so after separating it and a little modification the problem was solved and I'm happy with it now. The front brace is only taped on for now, I still don't know exactly where the engines will sit.
After a little mock up test on the differential I think it's too narrow for what I want so I've been modding a slightly wider differential for a little bit wider stance in the back.
Sorry for the size difference I was messing around with the settings on the camera a little.
After looking at the picture I just realized that the shock mount on the left is a little crooked so I'll have to fix that.
The Viper is looking good Josh, nice touch on the carbon fiber.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Hundreds of people canvassed the campus of Drake University in Des Moines to both support and protest the Republican candidates at the ABC debate Saturday night. More than 100 Ron Paul supporters made-up the largest gathering standing directly across from the doors of Sheslow Auditorium, which served as the venue for the debate.
"We've been tabling all week, you can't go anywhere without seeing a Ron Paul sign," said Cahlen Brancheau, a first-year student at Drake University.
A group of about 50 protesters also marched around the Drake campus declaring the debate a "circus."
"These candidates don't care about me, they don't care about my children, they don't care about my five grandchildren," the group chanted. Many of the protesters painted their faces white and wore red clown noses.
Dozens of Des Moines police and Drake Security officers monitored the crowds around the venue. Canine units were also brought in to monitor the perimeter of Sheslow Auditorium.
"It's so exciting to have all of these people here and all of this media attention," said Elissa Rabin, a sophomore Drake student who walked over to observe the commotion.
The candidates will meet in Iowa again on Thursday night to debate in Sioux City.

The Grand Gedeh community College has been finally opened in Zwedru. The Grand Gedeh University Students Union, hailing the opening of the college, expressed profound gratitude to the Legislative Caucus of the County and Government of Liberia for the recent construction of the community college in Zwedru, Grand Gedeh.
The union described the venture as a positive step toward the decentralization of college education in Liberia, noting that such move will create the environment for equal opportunity and quality education for all Liberians.
The union is also urged citizens of Grand Gedeh County, including the youth population to take serious advantage of such opportunity to improve their human resource capacity for the development of the county and Liberia.
It expressed the hope that the opening of the community college in the county will help to create the academic environment for better understanding of issues relative to the growth and of the county and.
"We are craving the indulgence of the national government to consider the reduction of fees per course to enable unemployed youth and citizens to enroll at the institution; we are also asking all sons and daughters of Grand Gedeh to offer their best to the county by rendering their services to the college," the GGUSU concluded.

Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn was directed by Chief of Staff Samora Yenus (Gen) to a seat on Friday afternoon, February 8, 2013, before he opened an exhibition in Addis Abeba, launching a series of events to mark "Army Day."
Siraj Fegesa, minister of Defense hopes the exhibition, the first to be held inside the Addis Abeba Exhibition Centre since the late 1970s, would show the army's mission beyond defending the nation's sovereignty and its contributions to "infrastructure development, technology transfer and ensuring electronics security." The army's top brass believe such series of events staged for the first time in two decades, and after the reorganisation of the army, will help them restore the positive image of the army and change the unfavourable perception people may have towards its rank and file.
A collection of military and industrial hardware was showcased at the display at Meskel Square, where the army anticipates to host over 250,000 visitors during the seven days where the exhibition remains open for the public, a high ranking army general told Fortune. The Ministry of Defence, jointly with Metal & Engineering Corporation (MetEC), managed by Kinfe Dagnew (BGen.), is displaying weapons and armaments as well as military and civil software and hardware manufactured, modified and assembled by its members, to the public.
"We want people to see the military is not simply a collection of people trained for combat," said another high ranking army officer, who is also commander of one of the forces. "The army has people the public should be proud of for their experience, intellect and innovation, whose works are displayed here today."
In one of the two pavilions inside the Exhibition Centre, the army also demonstrated several prototypes made by cadets whose potential commercial production the army believes save the nation from foreign exchange spending during imports. Amongst the displayed items are solar panels manufactured by MetEC in joint venture with an American company.Mobileand television handsets as well as communications gears branded "Fana" are also on display.

 Create an angle for a story
 Focus their stories on the needs of the farmers
 Have an idea on how to produce a program for the radio
In his welcoming remark, Gibairu Janneh, the Secretary General of the Gambia Press Union asserted that Gambia is an agrarian nation and as such he said Agricultural reporting is paramount in the Gambia Press Union agenda, thus the sponsoring of this ten-day training.
S G Janneh asserted that the Gambian Media has been doing very well in terms of Agricultural reporting but taking into consideration the calibre of trainers, he is confident that they will deliver to expectation.
He called on the participants to take the training seriously so as to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to serve the farmers who constitute 70 percent of the Gambian population.
In his opening remarks, Ahmed Alota, Executive Director of Games project asserted that the GPU has for long time been negotiating for this training with the Danish counterpart and it has finally materialized. He called on the participants to seize the opportunity that most of their colleagues lack and build their capacities in order to do their work professionally.

Manipulation of drop spacing is crucial to many processes in microfluidic devices including drop coalescence, detection and storage. Microfluidic ladder networks ---where two droplet-carrying parallel channels are connected by narrow bypass channels through which the motion of drops is forbidden---have been proposed as a means to control relative separation between pairs of drops. Prior studies in microfluidic ladder networks with vertical bypasses, which possess fore-aft structural symmetry, have revealed that pairs of drops can only undergo reduction in drop spacing at the ladder exit. We investigate the dynamics of drops in microfluidic ladder networks with both vertical and slanted bypasses. Our analytical results indicate that unlike symmetric ladder networks, structural asymmetry introduced by a single slanted bypass can be used to modulate the relative spacing between drops, enabling them to contract, synchronize, expand or even flip at the ladder exit. Our experiments confirm all the behaviors predicted by theory. Numerical analysis further shows that ladders containing several identical bypasses can only linearly transform the input drop spacing. Finally, we find that ladders with specific combinations of vertical and slanted bypasses can generate non-linear transformation of input drop spacing, despite the absence of drop decision-making events at the bypass junctions.

I just read through the 3 pages and still had a few questions for you. You mentioned:
"The 16-Cell will have more cranking amps pretty massive power compared to a lead acid and a bit more capacity than the 12-Cell version. This would benefit if you ride more often in colder climates, or have extra accessories on the bike. The reason for the benefit in colder climates is basically because the more cranking amps you have, the more overhead you would have for cranking in colder climates."
I understand about the cold climate= bigger battery,but what batteries do you recommend with what temp ranges ? I have a Yamaha WR250R, live in R.I. and try to ride the WR even in the winter. I typically ride in 40-50F & above temps,but there are several rides(maybe 8-10 x's per year) where I leave my house and it's in the 30's or I'm on a trip and am camping out and it goes down into the 20's. What would you recommend with out being overkill?
You also mention if you have extra accessories that will make a difference to what size you need. I always thought as long as those accessories are OFF when you start your bike-they won't affect it? Is the battery still working to keep those things going once your bike is running? Was that more of a warning in case you accidently leave them on?
You also make mention of that dangerous 10.5 volts and below can kill a battery. What would you recommend for someone who wants to do a trip and store their bike at a storage location,and then return 10-12 months later to continue their trip. Is it possible with out the battery being plugged into a charger?
Last,I assume that leaving things charging over night in your tank bag(cell phone,camera battery,scalar head set battery) as I have done in the past with no problems will work fine with these batteries as well? Thanks

Not minding what happens
Life is good!! I'm having fun living a very active lifestyle playing beach sports, biking, working out pretty regularly and going out for long walks and bike rides on most days. I'm an entrepreneur and I'm always looking at opportunities to start a business or expand the current ones I own. You can often find me at a local cafe working on improving our systems we utilize. Running my own business gives me great flexibility and I wouldn't change it for the world. Live music in the evening or just staying home and laying on the couch reading is always cool. I enjoy experiencing other cultures so I try to get out of the country as often as I can. My plan beginning September this year is to travel somewhere every month. The female I'm interested in would be someone who is caring, outgoing, athletic, has a positive outlook on life, likes to smile, is selfless, has some flexibility to travel and enjoys spending time with family. I've always believed you can tell a lot about a person base on how they treat folks they don't have to be nice to. Good luck in your search and have a Wonderful 2013!!

I like Dogs, Fish
Pets are great.. I've always lived in homes with Pets. I would love to own a Rhodesian Ridgeback. They're so well behaved and super athletic, but I think I'll have to get some space with a back yard.
Middle of the Road
My favorite hot spots are Cape Mount, NY, San Francisco, Arcadia National Park, Mallorca.
I really enjoy movies like Dark Knight Rises, The English Patient, Heat, 300, Taken, Titus and comedies with Robert Deniro (Meet the Parents), and The Proposal with Sandra Bulloch. Intelligent comedic films really make me laugh.
I enjoy biking and running along the Charles River. On Saturdays, I like to get dress and have a nice meal at one of my favorite restaurants in the North End or Back Bay before checking out live music at the Beehive.

Understanding Millennial Finance
Not many college students will find "travel 3000 miles on a train with a group of entrepreneurs" as a part of the job description for a summer internship.
My project focused on understanding the average college student's knowledge of financial literacy in the areas of student loans, credit cards, credit scores, and budgeting.
Now why would a 20-year-old college student be interested in such an issue?

The Franklin Pierce University women's rugby team participated in the eleventh-annual Balls to the Walls Indoor Seven's Tournament in the Grantham Indoor Arena at Colby-Sawyer College.
The eight team tournament brings hundreds of rugby players together for the one day event. The format of the game was different than any of the FPU players had ever played before because there was only seven players on the field for each team. There are usually fifteen players on the field during normal outdoor rugby games. Among many other rule changes, the games were only 14 minutes long, which is 70 minutes less than a normal rugby match.
The team won their first two games of the tournament in dominating fashion by never trailing their opponent. After winning the first game against Vermont Law by one try, the team's adrenaline carried them through the second game where they shut out Lyndon State College. Their two match win streak came to an end during the third game when they lost to the Falcons, the eventual winner of the tournament. The women's rugby team came in fourth place and second in their bracket ending the tournament with two wins and one loss.
Kelly Driscoll, Raven team member, was surprised the team played as well as they did. "It was a great opportunity to play in the tournament," she said. "It was especially nice receiving an e-mail from the winning team's head coach. He saw our future in the Division III national championship game and was impressed that we had never played a seven's tournament before."
Some players including Laura Kotusky were less favorable towards the experience. "I do not know if I would do the tournament again because I like playing fifteens better than sevens," said Kotusky.
Brittany Wheeler, women's rugby match secretary and player, thought the tournament was a huge success for the team. "We got to broaden our horizons and play a different style of rugby. For the rugby executive board, we were able to network with other teams and get our name out there and in doing so we're hoping to bring a seven's tournament to Franklin Pierce," said Wheeler.
The team will be opening their regular season home at Franklin Pierce University on April 3rd.

It is sad news today, news that will greatly upset a lot of the followers of The Somme. Unfortunately we've collectively agreed as a team to let The Somme peacefully pass away. We acknowledge this might come as a huge shock due to the recent post regarding a firm revival of The Somme, however due to unforeseen circumstances financially, The Somme could no longer sustain itself. This comes with the territory of being a real indie game, indie games are plagued with the problem of funding and believe us when we say we did our complete best in looking for a cure. Maybe one day the project might arise if the funding is there, but from strong observation the probability of that happening is tremendously low.
We hope that you understand the severity of the issues that plague such a ambitious project - we want to thank you as a community for being absolutely amazing, loving and very interested in the product.
Thank you, and good night.

will there be canadian soldiers?
Any news on this game? It has been nearly 2 months and total silence.Has it suffered the WW1 game curse and died?
Not at all, we are still hard at work!
Good to hear, I'm dying to play this game;)
I think you guys will find this interesting.
They should also add the British Indian Army as DLC
I havn't heard much about this game, or what it's like, but May I suggest adding the following, if not already added.
-Australian Infantry
-Flyable Bi-Planes(I Think that would be amazing)
Now I know that is alot to ask, but there are not many good WWI games out there, but this, from what I heard is the best one so far. Good luck, I hope all gose well. ;)
I don't know about the first one, but the rest are there apparently!
They said before that they're introducing more countries as the game develops, but I wouldn't know.
Stay hopeful though :D
*- French army
I think they will add the French army after the first release as DLC.
That would be nice :D

Real Housewives of New York
Is Former RHONY Star Jill Zarin's Company Filing for Bankruptcy?
Former Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin wants to set the record straight on one "rumor" – even though we hadn't quite heard of this one yet.
On Twitter, she disputed supposed buzz that her husband's company Zarin Fabrics was filing for bankruptcy, writing "Someone just sent me a "rumor" that Zarin(fabrics) filled [sic] bankruptcy? ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. Does anyone know who started rumor???"
Uh no, and since she didn't cite the source, and it's news to us that this gossip had been circulating in the first place, we're not sure where that came from either.
We did hear what Ramona Singer had to say about her former RHONY co-star, though, and according to her Jill's a little press-hungry. Could that explain this out-of-left-field tweet?

I'm having some issues with Photoshop CS6. It was working fine the other day, and I opened it today and there were no panels or any type of workspace showing. That was fixed by simply resetting the essentials workspace. However, my brushes aren't working correctly. I wanted to show a friend a screenshot, but wanted to edit out some PC names and IPs prior to him seeing it. I chose a simple circular brush with a random blue color. I clicked and drug the brush across the image. Nothing happened. I tried every other sort of brush I have, same thing.
Just to make sure, I opened a new layer and had the same issue. Now here's the odd part, I closed all tabs and created a new tab with a 1920x1080 transparent BG. I successfully filled it with blue using the paint bucket. I took out my brush and wanted to draw red squiggly lines. Set my color to red and squiggled. It squiggled, but not how I wanted. Instead of leaving red lines, it erased the blue leaving a blue pane with transparent squiggles on it.
I can't find out why its doing this. Any help Neowin?

Auschwitz-Birkenau: Hate's Shameful Showcase
'For ever let this place be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity…' screams a plaque at Auschwitz-Birkenau. January 27, 1945, about 7,500 Jewish prisoners were evacuated by the Russian Red Army from the most notorious of Nazi concentration camps. The plaque was erected by the survivors of the Holocaust, the horrific ordeal that began in 1941 when Heinrich Himmler, Nazi Germany's Minister of the Interior, designated Auschwitz-Birkenau as the destination for the "final solution of the Jewish question in Europe." In those three years, the Third Reich systematically aggregated and annihilated 1.5 million Jewish internees in the death camp. Most were gassed to death but a great number also died of starvation and disease. Today, the camp is a memorial museum and a 120 Zloty (€35) daytrip from the Polish city of Krakow, 70 km away.
On the 68th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, which fell January 27, AMANDEEP SANDHU shares memories of the seven life-changing hours that he spent there. Sandhu is the author of two books, Sepia Leaves and Roll of Honour. Learn more about his work at his website.

I'm about to go flying in this beautiful machine.
I know. I can't believe it either.
But about an hour after I had taken this shot, I had flown her from here (Oxford Kidlington) to Farnborough with a couple of visits on the way to show her off to deserving people. You've got to share something as beautiful as this, haven't you?
Back into the hangar for a moment. We haven't even pushed her out onto the pan yet.
The aeroplane
Let me introduce you: She's a Vickers Supermarine Spitfire Mark 9 with tandem dual-control cockpits, UK registration G-ILDA, RAF serial SM520, in-service 1944.
In the far left of the picture (above), with his back to camera, is the aircraft commander for the flight, Al Pinner. He's pretty well qualified for this job. He'll be talking to camera at the end of this piece, answering my questions about what it's like flying - not just G-ILDA – but other Spitfire marques.
Meanwhile (below), that's me, proudly sporting my military flying kit for the first time since my last working sortie at RAF Linton on Ouse in 1978.
In his present incarnation as v-p operations at TAG Aviation Europe, Al's task that day was to ferry G-ILDA to TAG UK's Farnborough base to to operate a display sortie from there the same evening. The display was to be overhead nearby Tylney Hall, where a large bunch of TAG senior pilots were gathered for their annual briefing. What a way to fire them up. More of that later.
The briefing
Al briefs me: on the way to Farnborough, we are going to salute a friend a few miles to the south west of Oxford with a victory roll or two, call overhead Tylney Hall to locate it and do a couple of passes to work out a display line for the evening, and head for our destination which is expected to be active on runway 06. To get there we'd have to pass by RAF Odiham and, as I am about to find out, when Al's flying G-ILDA he offers any base he communicates with at least a low pass.
With help from the ground crew, who handle G-ILDA with a reverential deftness, Al and I push the aircraft out of the hangar into an afternoon of dappled skies, light breezes and gin-clear visibility.
The cockpit
I climb into the rear cockpit and Al leans over the side, pointing out all the controls and answering my questions about what I should expect to see on the engine instruments. Actually the picture below is the forward cockpit, slightly roomier than mine.
The cockpit's a very close fit. The instrument panel was invented before ergonomics were: dials are inserted wherever there's a space. All black-and-white, no "proper" compass, just one of those directional gyros that operates in the horizontal. Al warns me not to snag the un-guarded gear lever by mistake because the undercarriage would retract on the ground if I did. When I want to open or close the canopy I have to lower my seat one click because the vertical adjustment lever snags the canopy handle; then raise it again when the canopy is where I want it.
Having checked I was strapped snugly into my 'chute harness and seat, Al climbs into the front cockpit. Controls full and free, electrics on, clear prop, and the big Merlin roars into life, blasting an exhaust-charged slipstream past my open canopy. The Spitfire rocks gently with the torque. I've never felt more alive.
There's an intercom, but it's intermittent and totally outvoiced by Messrs Rolls and Royce. Al can see me in his mirror, I can see his face in it, and hand signals can substitute.
I follow through on the controls while Al taxies out to runway 19. She's a beast on the ground, you can't see ahead, and steering's the weirdest form of differential braking you could possibly conceive. I look right and left and see rapt faces on the pan, in the tower, in ops room windows. G-ILDA's a star: life's on hold for everyone she passes, which she does with her nose in the air.
We hold short for power checks. Brakes on, power up, rpm set, let the big machine's oil warm up. Mag drop's a bit dramatic, so give her a bit more running time to clean the plugs.
The take-off
Then clear to line up and we're away like a greyhound out of the traps, the huge Merlin singing loudly but much more sweetly now she's been given her head. Likewise, the beast on the ground becomes a bird, light as a feather once she's slipped the surly bonds of earth.
We head south west at about 3,000ft to salute Al's friend. When close, Al increases the boost and rpm, sets a gentle descent before pulling up firmly and, with nose high, into a victory roll. I watch, knowing it's my turn next.
When I ask Al how much nose-up before starting to roll, he doesn't give it to me in degrees: "Put your feet on the horizon." And, he adds, keep the g positive all the way over. So I do that, imagining I had just made a kill and was performing a celebratory roll above the runway back at base before being hauled into the Flight Commander's office and told to behave.
I get a word from Al on the way over the top because I relaxed the back-pressure, allowing the g to drop away. With a soul in the back seat, the tandem Spit's centre of gravity is pretty far aft which makes it twitchy in pitch, so a relaxation feels more like a reversal. So he makes me do it again, the bastard.
I should have cocked up a second time so I'd get a third!
Anyway, off to Tylney Hall for Al's dry run. There it is, a beautiful manse surrounded by lawns and woodland. And more of those rapt faces, alerted by the sound of the thrumming Merlin, gazing up as we steep-turn to show off the Spit's glorious wing profile.
We wing away, and Al calls Odiham. They take Al's offer of a pass above the runway, and as we pull up they hand us over to Farnborough.
The arrival
This is the only disappointment of the flight. We want to run in for a victory roll, or at least a run-and-break to downwind, but Farnborough says traffic is holding for us so we have to go for a straight-in to 06.
Have they no soul?
Straight-in for a Spitfire is no joke. From a curved final approach you can see the runway. I can't see it at all over the high nose until we are flaring and the edges enter my peripheral vision.
But we have both rolled back our canopies for a wind-in-your-hair final approach, so at least we get that.
Rapt faces everywhere as we taxi in. They clearly all expected us.
I climb out and Al clears the rear cockpit, removing 'chute and harness in preparation for his solo display over Tylney this evening.
Off to the hotel for me. Out of the TAG car at Tylney, still in my flying kit. The guests' awed glances say they think I'm the guy that did the mini-display overhead an hour or so earlier. Sorry Al, but I enjoyed that moment!
Change for dinner and out onto the evening terrace to await G-ILDA's arrival.
The rising Merlin growl signals an imminent appearance, and Al roars over, then swings into exquisite aerial ballet above the darkening tree-line.
I am one of the rapt faces. But this time I'm different. Now I know why we won the Battle of Britain.

opinionBy Carmen Mccain
Last week I discussed the problem of academic knowledge often being kept behind paywalls by Western journal publishers and how internet activist Aaron Swartz had challenged this by trying to open up information to the world. This week, I'd like to look at the other side of the issue--how Nigerians can move beyond just accessing and consuming knowledge produced abroad to accessing and contributing to the world knowledge produced in Nigeria.
The internet is a democratizing tool. We can already see how the internet has enabled more Nigerian voices to be heard worldwide, through the rise of blogging and the social media. I will discuss this in further detail next week. However, there is still a need for Nigerian scholars to start being more intentional about making their scholarship more visible online.
Right now, it is true that the most internationally visible scholarly research is via journals published in the West. But, one way to "move the centre," as Ngugi wa Thiong'o has called for, is to undermine large corporate publishers by making other respectable journals open access and Nigerian journals more visible online. There is no reason why the most influential research on Africa should be published in Western journals. If more African academics made their research available online, it would not only open their research to other African intellectuals but also force Western intellectuals to pay more attention to research being done on the ground.
African Journals Online provides an excellent resource to distribute African journals for free or for a fee. However, I am disappointed that there are not more Nigerian Journals who give free access to their online content, as charging a fee makes it less likely that the journal will be read. Some Nigerian journals available through AJOL for free are The Bayero Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences; Creative Artist: A Journal of Theatre and Media Studies; Edo Journal of Counseling; Nigerian Health Journal; Nigerian Journal of Paediatrics; Sokoto Journal of Veterinary Sciences; Unizik Journal of Arts and Humanities and others. University and professional association websites can also upload back copies of these journals. SONTA (Society of Nigerian Theatre Artists), which makes past journals and conference proceedings available on their website, is a good example.
The move towards open access journals is not just in Africa. An April 2012 Guardian article reports that "Exasperated" with paying around 3.5 million dollars a year for journal access fees, " Harvard University has encouraged its faculty members to make their research freely available through open access journals and to resign from publications that keep articles behind paywalls." This is a good time to start investing in these structures.
Academics should also encourage university webmasters to create faculty pages, where each scholar can put up a summary of research, contact information, and upload publications. If going through the university is too unwieldy, academics can start blogs, where they can upload their CVs, bibliography of their publications, and publications they want to make available. Wordpress, Blogger, and other blogging platforms are free and easy to use. Having a presence online helps make scholars more visible, and puts more pressure on other scholars and journalists to acknowledge their work. Professor Abdalla Uba Adamu has been a pioneer of making information about Hausa popular culture available online, not only creating his own blog but also creating and moderating the yahoo groups Finafinan Hausa and Marubuta on Hausa filmmaking and literature, which enable discussions between scholars, fans, writers, and filmmakers. He often makes his research and that of others available online through the group. In addition to his own blog, Professor Yusuf Adamu has started a website Marubutan Hausa [Hausa Writers Data Base].
Similarly, rather than having PhD and MA theses gather dust and mold in libraries, PDF copies can be uploaded online so that more people have access to them. If they are published, then links can be provided to show where they are available for purchase. More innovative Nigerian publishers are making their books available as e-books or print-on-demand, so that those without access to Nigerian distributors and bookstores can access them abroad.
When I first came to Bayero University in 2008, I was hosted by the Mass Communications Department. Then Head of Department Dr. Umar Faruk Jibril asked me to help them start a Hausa Home Video Resource Centre. One of the things I worked on was creating an online resource for research and information about Hausa films: http://hausahomevideoresourcecentre.wordpress.com. The website includes a blog for opportunities for filmmakers, a page of Hausa film summaries written by my students in a Gender and Media class I taught, a working bibliography of research on Hausa film, a page of links to articles in the popular media, a filmography of Hausa films by director, and a calendar of events having to do with Hausa popular culture. Using easy blog templates, anyone with a passion for and knowledge of a subject can create this sort of website on any subject. It would be great if Hausa literature scholars could start a website of this sort to keep records on the names and numbers of Hausa books released to the market each year. The School of Oriental and African Studies in London has an excellent web resource on Hausa popular literature, listing around 731 novels from the late 1980s to 2002. However, because they are not on the ground in Nigeria, their records are not only limited but now also 11 years out of date. This is a task that scholars in Nigeria, with more immediate access to authors and marketers, would be much better equipped to tackle.
Websites that are collaborative can be even more useful and up-to-date. An example of this is the excellent site put together by Mahmud Fagge, whose hausafilm.tv lists the most extensive database of Hausa film practitioners and films that I know of. Because he uses collaborative wiki technology, anyone can sign up to contribute knowledge to the site.
Ironically, however, although Fagge uses wiki technology, until early January 2013 there was no entry for "Kannywood" in the global encyclopedia Wikipedia. While the open nature of Wikipedia (anyone can contribute to it) makes it inappropriate for academic citations, it is an excellent tool for making basic background knowledge available to the general public, and it is often the first website people turn to when they are seeking information. Wikipedia has versions for contributions in Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Fulfulde and a few other Nigerian languages. However, with the exception of Yoruba, which after Arabic is currently the largest African-language Wikipedia site with over 30,000 entries, these language sites remain woefully underdeveloped. There are also glaring absences in articles about Nigerian literature in the English language version. A few weeks ago when I was writing on Labo Yari's novel Climate of Corruption, I searched Wikipedia for various Nigerian writers. I was shocked by how many prominent Nigerian writers do not have entries on Wikipedia. Odia Ofeimun, arguably one of the most famous poets in Nigeria, had no entry. Abubakar Gimba, author of many novels and the focus of the recent Abuja International Conference on Language and Literature, had no entry. Neither did a host of other well known authors. Fortunately, this is a problem that is rectifiable by anyone with an internet connection and an interest. After I tweeted about the lack of entries on Northern Nigerian writers and Kannywood, the next day someone tweeted me that two entries had just been created for author Balaraba Ramat Yakubu and Kannywood, though they remain "stubs" waiting for more input from people who know the field better. I hope this article will inspire more readers to sign up for Wikipedia and contribute to articles in any area they are interested in. Having students create Wikipedia entries would be a great classroom assignment for creative university lecturers.
These are just a few ideas on how, not only scholars but anyone with knowledge and interest can help contribute to global knowledge. Next week I will focus specifically on the great contributions Nigerians online have been making to world literature.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of the early twentieth century, this fascinating true-life account reads almost like a novel. Demoralized by the encroaching liberalism of the Anglican Church, Englishman Charles Sydney Gibbes travels abroad in a crisis of faith. Finding work as a tutor to the Russian aristocracy, his world is changed forever when he receives a personal invitation from Empress Alexandra Fedorovna to become a tutor to her children. His intimate connection with the Imperial Family for the next ten years carries him into their mesmerizing world of elegance and nobility, then is shattered by their brutal murders at the hands of the Red Army. Following them to Siberia and later continuing on to China, Gibbes eventually returns full circle to Great Britain, there dedicating his life as an Orthodox priest to the memory of the Imperial Family, and the faith he discovered in their distant homeland.
Professor Kesich expertly addresses questions of anti-Semitism and the family quarrels between Jews and Christians in the historical context as well as explaining the trial of Jesus and the purpose of His suffering.
This book does not deal with persecution as such, but with the example of the suffering church from which the whole world can draw inspiration. Suffering deepens and redefines faith. Out of it has come a joy and a commitment which Christians elsewhere so often lack. The worse the suffering, the more intense their experience.
Compilers include Saint Symeon the Metaphrastes, Agapios the Cretan, Nikodemos the Hagiorite, Efthymios Zigabenos, Dositheos of Jerusalem, Church Fathers, and Athonite writers; also cited are Ecclesiastical Histories, together with Neon Paradeison, Neon Thesavron, Neon Eklogion, Neon Martyrologion, and Ephraim.
An explanation of Orthodox Christian faith and life in the Russian language.
How should Orthodox Christians regard non-Christian religions? To treat this question, John Garvey provides a concise introduction to great religious traditions, East and West, and goes on to explore how seeds of truth may be found in them, while upholding the Orthodox Church's claim as the unique repository of the Christian tradition and the ark of salvation.
In this collaborative effort, Fr John and Lyn Breck provide practical, theological, and pastoral thinking on complex matters: the use of embryonic stem cells, gene therapy, new definitions of sexuality and marriage, treatment of addictive behavior and substance abuse, and end-of-life care. Taking us through the stages on life's way, the authors show us how the ancient, vital wisdom of the Orthodox Church inspires and informs contemporary life.
On September 18, 1999, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios was enthroned as the sixth Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Certainly, this historic and majestic event was the beginning of a new era for the Church in America. It was also the inauguration of an archpastoral ministry that would be both an embodiment and a bearer of a call to faith. This volume is a select compilation of addresses and lectures over the first five years of the Archbishop's ministry that highlight this call.

I paid for my undergraduate degree by bartending at a club near Minneapolis. The timing was perfect — I had just turned 18, and in Minnesota, we could legally serve and drink alcohol. It was a perfect financial storm for me.
Although I made "good money" at $3.51 per hour (this was in 1974), most of my earnings came from tips, which caused me to learn how to get customers to come back. I didn't know I was learning about location marketing.
Here are five tips I learned:
1. It's expensive to get a new customer in the door
Before the club opened, I was asked to do the marketing. The owner gave me a box of flyers and said, "Go out and promote my club." I visited all of the offices in all of the buildings on both sides of the nearby highways. I came back, got another box and covered another area. I was rewarded with a crisp, $100 bill, which at the time, was a huge amount of money. Later, I found that my effort was only 1 percent of the $10,000 grand opening marketing budget.
2. Give customers a memorable experience
My end of the bar was near the dance floor and dining room, so I had a constant stream of patrons, cocktail waitresses, and food waitresses to serve. I had to keep everyone happy and entertained.
My bartending partner and I performed shticks such as "cocktail napkin tongue fu," "drink straw limbo," and "tip jar slam dunk" to entertain the customers and waitresses while mixing their cocktails. We also remembered what the regular customers drank, and in many cases, would have a drink waiting for them on the bar before they got there.

In June 1922, 1st Lt. Walker graduated from the Air Service Operations School at Post Field, Okla. In December 1922, he went to the Philippines as Commander of the Air Intelligence Section at Camp Nichols. He returned to the United States in February 1925 as a member of the Air Service Board at Langley Field, Va. He stayed at Langley until 1928, having been adjutant of the 59th Service Squadron, commander of the 11th Bomb Squadron, and operations officer for the 2nd Bomb Group. He graduated from the Air Corps Tactical School at Langley Field in June 1929. After graduating, he served as an instructor at the ACTS until July 1933, both at Langley and after its move to Maxwell Field, Ala. He attended the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and graduated in June 1935.
Major Walker went to Hamilton Field, Calif., where he served for three years as Intelligence and Operations Officer at the 7th Bomb Group, commander of the 9th Bomb Squadron and varied group duties. In February 1938, he served as operations officer for the 5th Bomb Group at Luke Field, Ford Island, Hawaii; then executive officer at Hickam Field, Hawaii; and commander of the 18th Pursuit Group at Wheeler Field, Hawaii. (Note: Luke Field was on Ford Island, Hawaii. The United States acquired it in several parcels between 1906 and 1918. For a time, the Army and the Navy shared the island as an aviation installation. By the late 1930s, the Army completed its move to Hickam and the Navy retained exclusive use.)
In January 1941, Major Walker returned to the United States for duty as assistant chief of the Air War Plans Division, Office of the Chief of the Air Corps, Washington, D.C. He was promoted to permanent major on July 1, 1941 and was transferred to Army Air Forces Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
In April 1942, Colonel Walker was assigned to Operations Division, War Department General Staff, Washington, D.C. In July of that year, he was promoted to brigadier general and transferred to the Southwest Pacific. In September he was appointed Commanding General, 5th Bomber Command, Fifth Air Force.
On Jan. 5, 1943, Brig. Gen. Walker was reported missing in action after a B-17 Flying Fortress mission over the Japanese stronghold of Rabaul, New Britain, Papua, New Guinea in B-17 "San Antonio Rose". Though intercepted by enemy fighters, his group scored direct hits on nine Japanese ships. General Walker was last seen leaving the target area with one engine on fire and several fighters on his tail. For his actions, General Walker was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously by President Roosevelt in 1943.
In January 1948, Roswell Army Air Field, at Roswell, N.M., was designated Walker Air Force Base. Walker Hall, at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., home of the College of Aerospace Doctrine Research and Education, is also named after the general.
While at the Air Corps Tactical School in 1934, 1st Lieutenant Walker and four other ACTS instructors were invited to testify on the military aspects of aviation before the Presidents Commission on Federal Aviation. He and his colleagues presented arguments to support a separate air organization, not subordinate to other military branches. While Major Walker was at the War Plans Division, the Air war Plans Division was tasked with developing a production requirements plan for President Roosevelt, due to the rapidly approaching world war. Walker joined the planning team led by Lt. Col. consisting of Major Haywood S. Hansell, and Major Laurence S. Kuter. Together they created AWPD-1 plan, the blueprint for the upcoming war against Germany, in just nine days in August 1941. Later generations of Air Force leaders continued to recognize the merits of the AWPD-1 plan. Walker is credited with being one of the men who built an organization that became the U.S. Air Force.
(Taken from official U.S. Air Force Biography)
For conspicuous leadership above and beyond the call of duty involving personal valor and intrepidity at an extreme hazard to life. As commander of the 5th Bomber Command during the period from 5 September 1942, to 5 January 1943, Brigadier General Walker repeatedly accompanied his units on bombing missions deep into enemy-held territory. From the lessons personally gained under combat conditions, he developed a highly efficient technique for bombing when opposed by enemy fighter airplanes and by antiaircraft fire. On 5 January 1943, in the face of extremely heavy antiaircraft fire and determined opposition by enemy fighters, he led an effective daylight bombing attack against shipping in the harbor at Rabaul, New Britain, which resulted in direct hits on 9 enemy vessels. During this action his airplane was disabled and forced down by the attack of an overwhelming number of enemy fighters.

Hey CJ, what's the retail on TuBliss? They going to come out with a 17" version, too? :ear
I've not heard of anything about 17" from them but I didn't ask either.
How wide of rim is this for? That's the only down fall right now he said.
I asked about a 18" x 4.25" and he said that's too wide for the system as of now.
Sizes available are:
18 x (1.85-2.15) TUbliss CORE
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
19 x (1.85-2.15) TUbliss CORE
21 x (1.60) TUbliss CORE
Waiting for the part I saw at the IMS show. :thumb
Oh, and I could have used a winch on my 640 a couple times last year. :lol3
I'll also be getting a rekluse for my 300EXC whenever I get the bike itself straightened out.
Those are in the "Testing stages" still. Soon I hope to be making more if all goes well.:wink:
I make a rack that works for your 640. All you need is a winch.:ear
Keep me posted. PM the Rekluse part# or the year and model clutch you're interested in and I'll get you a price.
What's the lifespan of these things? :ear
Hope they come out with some Big Trailie friendly sizes... :norton
Not sure about the lifespan. They are a new product and I'm not sure how many plan to use them on the street. The sizes offered are more MX bike sizes. I plan to put one in my 21"x 1.6" front 950 ADV rim. More are suppose to be in stock end of March. We'll see how it goes.
Me too.:thumb
Looking forward to some long term reviews. :thumb
If they hold up to long term use, and can be reasonably balanced, I'd think they'd have a good market for the big trailies. Probably a very good market.
I see you're in Mukwanago. Have you met Prubert yet?
I'll be down at the Indy GP races then out at the 2009 KTM Rally in ID. Hope to see you there.
Thank you,
I've got some new projects in the works and testing is going very well. Check it out yourself at INDY GP races this weekend.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has found a replacement chief executive in Lenovo after flying with an interim boss since January.
President and chief operating officer of rising PC star Lenovo, Rory Read, will take up the role, replacing AMD's former chief Dirk Meyer who resigned from the post in January, leaving chief financial officer Thomas Seifert at the helm.
AMD's shares rose over 1 per cent after Read's appointment was announced.
Read, an IBM veteran of 23 years, is credited with driving Lenovo's double-digit revenue growth in the US and for transforming the wider company into a leading supplier since becoming COO in 2009.
In an otherwise flat PC market, Chinese-owned Lenovo, along with Apple, bucked the low-growth trend.
According to analyst firm Gartner, in the second quarter of 2011 Lenovo shipments surged 22 percent, putting it second only to HP.
"I'm very pleased to be joining AMD at this important time in its history. AMD is a true innovator and is uniquely positioned to lead the industry forward, delivering the next big thing both within the PC ecosystem and beyond," said Read.
AMD lost a string of senior executives after Meyer's reportedly departed over a spat with management about the company's mobile strategy.
In February AMD lost chief operating officer Bob Rivet and Marty Seyer, its senior vice president for corporate strategy.
Representing Lenovo earlier this year, Read estimated that tablets would make up around 10 to 15 percent of PC sales, but would not cannibalise its PC business, saying he saw it as "additive, like a smartphone."
