Professor David Ray Griffin is the nemesis of the official 9/11 conspiracy theory. In his latest book, Debunking 9/11 Debunking , Griffin destroys the credibility of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Popular Mechanics reports, annihilates his critics, and proves himself to be a better scientist and engineer than the defenders of the official story.
Griffin's book is 385 pages divided into four chapters and containing 1,209 footnotes. Without question, the book is the most thorough presentation and examination of all known facts about the 9/11 attacks. Griffin is a person who is sensitive to evidence, logic, and scientific reasoning. There is no counterpart on the official side of the story who is as fully informed on all aspects of the attacks as Griffin.
At the outset, Griffin points out that the reader's choice is between two conspiracy theories: One is that Muslim fanatics, who were not qualified to fly airplanes, defeated the security apparatus of the US and succeeded in three out of four attacks using passenger jets as weapons. The other is that security failed across the board, not merely partially but totally, because of complicity of some part of the US government.
Griffin points out that there has been no independent investigation of 9/11. What we have are a report by a political commission headed by Bush administration factotum Philip Zelikow, a NIST… Continue reading

June 11, 2007 — How many times has the now infamous Osama bin Laden "confession video" played in the corporate media after its release on December 13, 2001? How many newspapers carried the story of Osama bin Laden, confessing to his prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, in their December 14, 2001 editions? How about worldwide? Combined, how many television stations, radio broadcasts, and newspapers do you think ran segments and stories about the content of this video?
Considering the number of television and radio news media outlets globally, coupled with the fact that many of the television news stations in the United States played portions of this video every 15 minutes for weeks after its release, and it can be safely estimated that this "confession video" has played millions of times since its release nearly six years ago. It can also be accepted as fact that the story of the "confession tape" was deemed fit for print repeatedly in every newspaper and news magazine in the United States and nearly every other similar type of publication worldwide.
Without a doubt, exposure to the "confession video" has reached every civilized corner of the earth in which a press can be found. Millions of times hundreds of millions of people saw, heard, or read about the video. On December 13, 2001 the video was not a secret anymore. With its sheer volume of exposure, there should be no secrets about it. Yet, to this day, documentation related to the discovery of the video and its authenticity is being guarded by elements of the U.S.…Continue reading
September 11th Advocates Regarding Declassification and Release of Documents
The Public's Right to Know – Declassification and Release of Documents petition ( http://www.petitiononline.com/july10/petition.html ) surpassed 15,000 signatures. As promised, we have hand delivered it to lawmakers in Washington, DC.
Recently, during our meetings with lawmakers, we discussed the declassification and release of all transcripts and documents relating to the July 10, 2001 meeting that took place between former CIA Director George Tenet and then National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice, the redacted 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry Into The Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 (JICI) and the CIA Inspector General's report, "CIA Accountability With Respect To The 9/11 Attacks", as mentioned in the Petition.
Almost six years have passed since September 11, 2001, yet critical information continues to be withheld from the American public regarding the attacks. Included in this statement is an "Action Alert" and background information explaining the importance of transparency in our government. Since there is currently active legislation (Wyden-Bond Amendment attached to bill #S.4) regarding the CIA Inspector General's Report, we decided, for the moment, to focus our attention on this particular document. After reviewing the evidence produced by the Joint Inquiry of Congress into the 9/11 Attacks, both Republican and Democratic Congressmen agreed that a CIA Inspector General review into individual responsibility was necessary. Faced with the facts, these Congressmen understood that accountability in the Intelligence Community was crucial. Their intent was that a final declassified CIA/IG report was to be released to… Continue reading
WASHINGTON – JUNE 22 – The Central Intelligence Agency violated its charter for 25 years until revelations of illegal wiretapping, domestic surveillance, assassination plots, and human experimentation led to official investigations and reforms in the 1970s, according to declassified documents posted today on the Web by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.
CIA director Gen. Michael Hayden announced today that the Agency is declassifying the full 693-page file amassed on CIA's illegal activities by order of then-CIA director James Schlesinger in 1973–the so-called "family jewels." Only a few dozen heavily-censored pages of this file have previously been declassified, although multiple Freedom of Information Act requests have been filed over the years for the documents. Gen. Hayden called today's release "a glimpse of a very different time and a very different Agency."
I'm sure General Hayden would like us to take him at his word. But who on earth will believe the CIA has 'reformed' itself, when even the mainstream press reports blatantly illegal acts like extraordinary rendition? The worst abuses we never hear about.
During June 27th to July 1st, approximately 9,400 people from across the America,
and beyond, gathered in Atlanta for the historic, first-ever United
States Social Forum. Thanks to donations from some of our generous supporters,
911Truth.org was there, together with about 15 other 911Truth activists from
Georgia, California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington DC, and Maryland.
We went with the idea we'd work to "convince" people to look at the
need for a real investigation into the crimes of 9/11. After all, the various
issues and causes represented by this diversity of People were predicated, to
such a strong degree, upon the events of 9/11, and it made sense that if presented
with the information, we'd win some allies.
We were wrong. What we found, instead, was that nearly everyone we spoke with
was already aware of at least some questions about 9/11 and agreed
with us! The People, in spite of resistance we've heard from many of their organizational
"leaders," are already with us.
We learned that on Sunday, the People would gather for a final Assembly where
resolutions would be read and voted upon. Peter Thottam, of 911TruthLA recommended
we submit a proposal, so the group of us at dinner on Friday pulled together
the whereas's and therefore's, Peter and Keith Dunwoody (of Atlanta) tweaked
and typed it up, Brian Ottolini made 1000 copies, and the group hit the ground
Saturday morning to distribute the copies and talk with people. At the last
minute, Jose Rodriguez graciously translated… Continue reading

The President of the United States has the unrestrained Power of granting Pardons for Treason; which may be sometimes exercised to screen from punishment those whom he had secretly instigated to commit the Crime, & thereby prevent a Discovery of his own Guilt. — George Mason (1725-1792), the "father of the Bill of Rights," noting his objection to presidential pardon powers in his first draft commentary on the Constitution of the United States he helped write
Ambassador Joe Wilson writes a New York Times op-ed article suggesting that George W. Bush knowingly lied to the American people in a Constitutionally-required duty of Bush's office – the State of the Union speech – and Wilson's wife is punished by having her career and her life's work destroyed (along with the destruction of a major CIA undercover asset in the front company of Brewster Jennings, Inc.).
Coincidence or conspiracy? That's part of what U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald was charged with discovering.
In the process, Fitzgerald found that somebody was repeatedly trying to "throw sand in the umpire's eyes" – obstructing Fitzgerald's investigation into the now-identified conspiracy to destroy a CIA asset as a form of political payback. That person obstructing the investigation into the conspiracy, Fitzgerald discovered, worked at the right hands of both President Bush and Vice President Cheney and was named Irving Lewis Libby.
Coincidence or conspiracy?
On January 26, 2007, Newsweek's Michael Isikoff reported that Libby was going to undertake an aggressive defense of his own role in what may be revealed as a larger criminal conspiracy centered in the White House.…Continue reading
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

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
Cheney Determined To Strike In US With WMD This Summer
Only Impeachment, Removal or General Strike Can Stop Him
By Webster G. Tarpley 7-21-7
"The greatest threat now is 'a 9/11′ occurring with a group of terrorists armed not with airline tickets and box cutters, but with a nuclear weapon in the middle of one of our own cities." — Dick Cheney on Face the Nation, CBS, April 15, 2007
A few days ago, a group of lawyers from western Massachusetts met with the local congressman, Democrat John Olver. Their request was that Olver take part in the urgent effort to impeach Bush and Cheney. Olver responded by saying that he had no intention of doing anything to support impeachment. He went further, offering the information that the United States would soon attack Iran, and that these hostilities would be followed by the imposition of a martial law regime here.
According to reports in the British press, the Cheney war party has gained the upper hand in the secret councils of the Bush White House, pushing aside the purported hesitations of Miss Rice, Secretary Gates, and the NATO allies to chart a direct course towards war with Iran:
'The balance in the internal White House debate over Iran has shifted back in favour of military action before President George Bush leaves office in 18 months, the Guardian has learned. The shift follows an internal review involving the White House, the Pentagon and the state department over the last month. Although… Continue reading
Dangers of a Cornered George Bush
By Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity & Dr. Justin Frank
July 27, 2007
The "new" strategy of surging troops in Baghdad has simply wasted more lives and bought some time for the president. His strategy boils down to keeping as many of our soldiers engaged as possible, in order to stave off definitive defeat in Iraq before January 2009.
Bush is commander in chief, but Congress must approve funding for the war, and its patience is running out. The war — and the polls — are going so badly that it is no longer a sure thing that the administration will be able to fund continuance of the war.
There is an outside chance Congress will succeed in forcing a pullout starting in the next several months. What would the president likely do in reaction to that slap in the face?
What would he do if the Resistance succeeded in mounting a large attack on U.S. facilities in the Green Zone or elsewhere in Iraq? How would he react if Israel mounted a preemptive attack on the nuclear-related facilities in Iran and wider war ensued?
Applied Psychoanalysis
The answers to such questions depend on a host of factors for which intelligence analysts use a variety of tools. One such tool involves applying the principles of psychoanalysis to acquire insights into the minds of key leaders, with an eye to facilitating predictions as to how they might react in certain circumstances.
For U.S. intelligence, this common-law marriage of psychoanalysis and intelligence work dates back to the early 1940s, when CIA's forerunner, the Office of Strategic Services commissioned two studies of Adolf Hitler.…Continue reading

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Airlines sued by victims of the September 11 attacks filed complaints with a U.S. court on Tuesday to compel testimony from FBI and CIA agents in a bid to make the federal government more culpable for not preventing the attacks.
In separate complaints filed in the U.S. Court for the Southern District of New York, seven U.S. airlines sought testimony from two members of a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency unit that investigated Osama Bin Laden and five current and former FBI agents who investigated al Qaeda.
Some relatives of the victims of September 11 have filed suit against the seven airlines – including AMR Corp.'s American Airlines and UAL Corp.'s United Airlines – seeking damages for personal injury and wrongful death.
The airlines said they needed the agents' testimony to prove their actions were reasonable.
In seeking the agents' testimony, the airlines argued that "the inability of the federal agencies to detect and stop the plot is a more significant causal circumstance of the terrorist attacks than any allegedly negligent conduct of the aviation parties."
Both U.S. agencies have refused to allow their agents to be questioned even though they have given public statements about their intelligence knowledge in the past, the airlines said.
The FBI and CIA had "far more intelligence information concerning the terrorist threat" than the airlines and knew that two of the suspected hijackers were in the United States, the air carriers… Continue reading
Video from Snowshoe Films—
As Webster Tarpley notes, Zelikow is very important in the 9/11 cover-up. In 1998, Philip Zelikow published an article in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, entitled "CATASTROPHIC TERRORISM: Imagining the Transformative Event." Nearly two years later, PNAC picked up the CFR-Zelikow language, saying that the desired transformation "is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor…"
In part one of this series, we hear from author Webster Tarpley, Professor Graeme MacQueen (religious studies, McMaster University, ret.), Ken Jenkins (filmmaker), and Peter Dale Scott, author.
Zelikow, hired as a Bush II transition team member for his expertise on al-Qaeda (according to Karen Hughes), didn't want to hear anything about al-Qaeda from Richard Clarke, chief counter-terrorism expert on George W. Bush's national security council. Similarly, John Ashcroft at the Dept. of Justice didn't want to hear anything about al-Qaeda before 9/11 from Thomas Picard, acting director of the FBI. In these and other instances, Zelikow as executive director of the 9/11 Commission, suborned perjury, Webster Tarpley charges.
Tarpley reveals Zelikow's cover-up role in the Able Danger FBI effort to expose "al-Qaeda" cells. Prof. Graeme MacQueen calls attention to Zelikow's unique role in predicting then explicating the consequences of "the transformative event" as head of the commission charged with investigating the catastrophic terrorism of 9/11. Ken Jenkins and Peter Dale Scott note that Zelikow's expertise is in creating and exploiting public myths,… Continue reading

In American history there are two types of event: ordinary events which the information systems of the country can understand and establish. There are also deep events, or meta-events, which the mainstream information systems of the country cannot digest. I mean by a "deep event" an event in which it is clear from the outset that there are aspects which will not be dealt with in the mainstream media, and will be studied only by those so-called "conspiracy theorists" who specialize in deep history.
The events I shall discuss today exhibit continuities with each other and with other deep events, notably the Iran-Contra affair of the mid 1980s and the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. But the three I shall discuss today — the JFK assassination, the initial Watergate break-ins, and 9/11 — are outstanding in this respect: that while they were attributed to insignificant and very marginal people, they had momentous impact, far more than most daily events by more important people, in redirecting American history. 1
If history is what is recorded, then deep history is the sum of events which tend to be officially obscured or even suppressed in traditional books and media. Important recent deep events include the political assassinations of the 1960s, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and now 9/11. All these deep events have involved what I call the deep state, that part of the state which is not publicly accountable, and pursues its goals by means which will not be approved… Continue reading
Dear 9/11 Truth Seekers,
I regret that, due to the fact that I'm addressing an audience in Oslo tonight, I am unable to attend your United for Truth March here in Brussels. Nevertheless, I wish, by means of this written statement, to say a few words of encouragement and appreciation for your efforts.
The attacks in New York and Washington six years ago left the American people stunned and ready to agree to almost anything the Bush-Cheney administration proposed. At home, this has meant severe restrictions on civil liberties in the name of the so-called PATRIOT Act.
Abroad, we have had a so-called war on terror, which has really been a war of aggression against Muslims and a war for oil and domination in Muslim nations. This has meant six years of torture, humiliation, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan and Iraq, people who were either innocent civilians or soldiers fighting against an immoral and even illegal occupation.
During this period, we have also seen an unprecedented media cover-up in the United States and allied countries. Such cover-ups have happened before. But in this case, the crime was more enormous, the consequences were more catastrophic, and the evidence was more obvious. (For example, just by looking at the collapse of Building 7 of the World Trade Center, anyone who knows anything about these matters can see that it was brought down by explosives, as Danny Jowenko of Holland has illustrated.) The failure of the media to expose the lies of the official story threatens the continued existence of democracy, which simply cannot function without an independent media, dedicated to revealing crimes of state.…Continue reading
Even I question the 'truth' about 9/11
By Robert Fisk
Published: 25 August 2007
Each time I lecture abroad on the Middle East, there is always someone in the audience — just one — whom I call the "raver". Apologies here to all the men and women who come to my talks with bright and pertinent questions — often quite humbling ones for me as a journalist — and which show that they understand the Middle East tragedy a lot better than the journalists who report it. But the "raver" is real. He has turned up in corporeal form in Stockholm and in Oxford, in Sao Paulo and in Yerevan, in Cairo, in Los Angeles and, in female form, in Barcelona. No matter the country, there will always be a "raver".
Robert Fisk, award winning journalist, for the Independent in London; described by the NY Times as "the most famous foreign correspondent in Britain"; frequent contributor to Amy Goodman's Democracy Now, a man so famous he has become a verb in his own lifetime, and he's is a 9/11 truther!
In this article, Fisk complains about the ill-behaved 9/11 truthers who shout out questions about the 9/11 cover up at various speaking venues, but this complaint may be just to give himself some cover. Without that shield, he would be immediately denounced and marginalized, (he may be anyway) but he goes on to mention the dirth of plane parts at the Pentagon,… Continue reading

Evidence Suggests CIA Purposefully Spiked Investigations
Dear Members of the Press:
A grave miscarriage of justice is afoot. After years being withheld the Administration finally is forced to release the CIA's IG Report on 9/11. While earlier news accounts said the report would be released in early September it was released in the middle of a Congressional recess, in the middle of a Summer break, thus insuring it will not receive the attention it deserves. Worse still is the conclusion in most press reports since its release that bolsters the official narrative, i.e., that all the myriad failures were simply due to 'systemic failure' and/or incompetence.
The circumstantial evidence running contrary to this conclusion is compelling and convincing.
It appears that Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar were being protected by higher ups in the CIA. Respected author Joe Trento has reported that they were working for Saudi Intelligence. Others reported the two were removed from the watchlist two days before 9/11. I don't know if either was the case. It is clear, however, that there was a concerted effort to protect them, similar in some respects to the way authorities in FBI HQ refused to allow Rowley and company in Minnesota to go into Mousaoui's laptop computer or how higher ups prevented Robert Wright in Chicago from going after the money trail of Yassin Al-Kadi (Qadi) who financed the software company Ptech and the terrorist group Hamas and who was later named a "Specially… Continue reading
The Spitzer scandals continue.
On the 6th anniversary of the 9/11 attack, Brooklyn activist newspaper the New York Megaphone breaks this exclusive story:
NY Governor Eliot Spitzer filed an amicus brief on 1/15/03 on behalf of the World Trade Center's controversial lease-holder, the real estate magnate Larry Silverstein. This document shows that Spitzer, as Attorney General, helped Silverstein get the whopping $4.5 billion windfall for the 9/11 attacks. The record is clear: Spitzer helped reverse a lower court's decision, by making credible Silverstein's argument that the two different plane crashes on 9/11/01 should be compensated as two different terrorist attacks.
This amicus brief has never been reported before today, in print or online. It was discovered in the court archives on the 17th floor of the 2nd Circuit Court (NYC), and released to the New York Megaphone by attorney Carl Person. In reporter Sander Hicks's exclusive story, author and lawyer Carl Person says: "I was surprised to see that Spitzer had used his position as attorney general to support one private litigant over another. Normally, this is not done."
Hicks' story also covers Governor Spitzer's recent scandals with police spying on rival Joe Bruno, the Roger Stone voice mail threat, as well as new information and interviews regarding the Spitzer links to Kroll executives Michael Cherkasky and Jerome Hauer. Hicks hands in an original interview with Jerome Hauer, probing his documented links to anthrax suspect Steven Hatfill. Hauer is widely believed to be the source of the White House's foreknowledge… Continue reading

Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds has made a number of disturbing claims about the 911 attacks, but perhaps the most disconcerting is her oft-repeated statement that the US authorities have covered up an entire organizational layer within al-Qaeda.
In the documentary, Kill The Messenger, Sibel says:
"They haven't mentioned anybody who actually is connected to Al Qaida, in mid or higher level."
Similarly, Sibel often says:
"And I would like to give an analogy – if you take the War on Drugs, imagine if they only went after street dealers and they refused to investigate the mid-level dealers or the drug lords. This is very similar."
As we approach another 911 anniversary, it's time we learnt:
Sibel Edmonds is the most gagged woman in US history making it a little it difficult for us, the public, to have a detailed understanding of everything she knows about al-Qaida and the 911 attacks, but she has given interviews and written a number of great articles and letters which enable us to put some of the pieces together.
Immediately after the release of the 911 Commission report, Sibel wrote an open letter to Thomas Kean and the Commission in which she chided the 911 Commission panel for ignoring important issues related to the attacks, and she also made public some of her closed-door testimony to the 911 Commission.

A hydrogen fuel cell that uses enzymes instead of expensive metal catalysts to drive chemical reactions has been developed by UK researchers.
Enzyme-powered fuel cells could be smaller, simpler and cheaper to make than conventional ones, the researchers claim. They have already powered a digital watch using their invention.
Hydrogen fuel cells are an attractive alternative to conventional batteries because they require only hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, and generate only water as a waste product.
Conventional fuel cells work in two stages. Hydrogen is first split into protons and electrons before being combined with oxygen to make water. The reactions take place on separate electrodes, forcing electrons to travel through a circuit in between, generating an electrical current. But these reactions normally rely on electrodes incorporating expensive metal catalysts, such as platinum.
Researchers from Oxford University in the UK used two enzymes, one harvested from bacteria and the other from fungus, to catalyse the same chemical reactions. Each electrode is coated in one of the two enzymes. The bacterial enzymes break down hydrogen as part of their natural metabolism, and the fungal enzymes naturally combine hydrogen with oxygen - usually to break down wood.
Mixed fuel
As the enzymes are specially geared towards driving these two reactions, they can be used to make a more compact fuel cell, that allow small amounts of both fuel to mix together. "With platinum electrodes, a special membrane has to be used to keep the two fuels separate, or you'd get no power at all," explains Kylie Vincent from Oxford University. "If you have very specific catalysts like enzymes, you don't need a membrane."
This should cut the cost of making a fuel cell, Vincent says. "The enzymes are also completely biodegradable," she adds.
The team has so far developed a simple prototype - a glass tank containing two electrodes, each coated with one of the enzymes. Adding a few per cent of hydrogen to the air inside the tank triggers the enzymes into action, and a small current is generated. The fuel cell can so far produce about 700 millivolts, enough to power a digital watch.
Paul Allen, an energy expert from the Centre for Alternative Technology, in Wales, UK, says the cell could make an excellent alternative to the batteries used in portable gadgets. "The batteries used in watches and cameras are energy intensive to produce and contain heavy metals, making them difficult to dispose of," he told New Scientist. "A cost-effective rechargeable alternative would be useful."
But Allen notes that energy is still needed to produce the hydrogen required. "We must remember that fuel cells are energy stores not energy generators," he says. "Unless we develop renewable energy-generating capacity in the first place, there will still be a net energy shortfall in the future."

Packing for an outdoor adventure involves more than just a warm jacket and thick boots. Every good outdoor enthusiast knows to pack an emergency survival pack. Here are five essential items for every survival pack, no matter where you're headed.
1. A Pocket Knife. Small folding knives and sporting knives are extremely useful if you find yourself lost in the woods. They are can either go in your pack or you can clip them to your belt.
2. An LED Flashlight. LEDs produce the brightest beam of any type of flashlight, and if you're in a nighttime emergency situation that could make a huge difference. A quality LED flashlight also has an incredibly long battery life, so you won't be stuck in the dark any time soon.
3. A Multi Tool. Many multi tools have serrated blades, scissors, screwdrivers and other features. A good multi tool can help you prepare a fire, repair gear, treat a wound or open a can of food. Including a mini multi-tool in your survival pack will have you prepared for anything.
4. Matches/Fire-starters. Nothing is harder than trying to start a fire without any assistance. Including waterproof matches, a lighter, or a fire starter in your pack is a must.
5. First-Aid Supplies. If space is at a premium, focus on the basics – bandages, disinfectant, insect repellant, and aspirin. Iodine pills are a good idea as well to purify water.
There are many other items that would be useful in an emergency situation, but these are a good place to start. Regardless of how small your emergency pack needs to be, make sure you cover the basics – light (LED flashlight), warmth (fire starter), food (sporting knives and multi tools), and safety (first aid supplies).

Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the charismatic and controversial former prime minister of Canada whose vision inspired Canadians to reexamine their national character and reinvent their government, died Thursday in Montreal, his family announced. He was 80.
Trudeau had been suffering from prostate cancer and Parkinson's disease, the family's statement said. Canada's national television network immediately cut away from its live coverage of the Olympics after the announcement to report extensively on Trudeau's life and death. Accolades poured in from political allies and adversaries alike.
"The forces of change that he set in motion continue to shape the soul of his people," Prime Minister Jean Chretien said of his mentor. " . . . On the international stage, he gave us a profile and stature well beyond our size and power."
In Washington, President Clinton noted Trudeau's passing in a written statement:
"As prime minister for nearly a generation, Pierre Trudeau opened a dynamic new era in Canadian politics and helped establish Canada's unique imprint on the global stage."
Trudeau streaked to political prominence amid the kind of frenzy usually reserved for rock stars and was lifted into Canada's highest office in 1968 on the crest of "Trudeaumania." For most of the next 16 years, he dominated his country's politics and pirouetted across the world diplomatic stage.
He revised the Canadian Constitution and vastly expanded his countrymen's civil rights, built a European-style welfare state, crushed a violent separatist movement in his native province of Quebec and thrust himself into world affairs in a way that sometimes irritated occupants of the White House. His campaign to make Canada officially bilingual elevated the status of the country's Francophone minority.
But Trudeau captured public imagination as much with his insouciant style as with his politics. He was witty, acerbic and irreverent, sliding down a banister at a meeting of world leaders at Buckingham Palace, waving his middle finger at protesting constituents and inviting John Lennon and Yoko Ono to his office in Ottawa.
An urbane, high-living bachelor into his 50s, Trudeau drove sports convertibles and dated actresses Barbra Streisand and Margot Kidder. In 1971, he married Margaret Sinclair, a beautiful free spirit who was nearly 30 years his junior. The marriage produced three sons and inspired a play still performed in Canada. But it ended badly amid Margaret Trudeau's tabloidesque adventures with the Rolling Stones and others.
By the time he left office in 1984, Trudeau's policies and pugnacious personality had worn away the adulation. Time also has eroded much of his legacy. The welfare state he nurtured proved ruinously expensive and has been pared back by his successors. The French language is seldom heard in much of the country. The arms-length relationship Trudeau favored with the United States has given way to the full embrace of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Nonetheless--and despite a post-political career that mostly eschewed public attention--he remained a figure of influence and fascination until his death. In the early 1990s, Trudeau's personal opposition helped defeat proposed changes to the Canadian Constitution that he believed conceded too much to the Quebec nationalists who were his lifelong bete noire. When Michel, the youngest of his three sons, died in an avalanche in 1998, the nation mourned with him.
In 1999, he dominated polls on the most important Canadians of the 20th century.
"Pierre Trudeau was simply a superior person," said Michael Bliss, a University of Toronto professor and leading political historian. "He had a quality of integrity and leadership that is rare in the history of any country. . . . He was towering in the way FDR was towering."
"He was the modern politician par excellence for Canadians . . . the beau ideal," added historian J. L. Granatstein, co-editor of a 1998 book of essays on Trudeau's legacy.
And yet, after more than 80 years crowded with political intrigue, intellectual challenge, physical exertion and romantic passion often played out in public, Trudeau remained at core an enigma, even to those closest to him.
"He's a very distant man," Trudeau's son Sacha told a television reporter in 1999. "He's private, even from our perspective. I guess he's had kind of a lonely life, you know."
A Childhood That Was Cosmopolitan
Pierre Elliott Trudeau was born Oct. 18, 1919, in Montreal to Charles-Emile Trudeau, a boisterous, hard-drinking French-Canadian entrepreneur, and the reserved, disciplined Grace Elliott Trudeau, who came from an English-speaking Quebec family of Scottish ancestry.
The bilingual and bicultural household--and the wealth accumulated by his father's successful investments in gas stations, the Montreal Royals minor league baseball team and other enterprises--provided him with a cosmopolitan childhood.

The Small Arms Committee of the Armaments Division is dedicated to insuring that the U.S. Military Men and Women have the weapons they need for direct use on the battlefield. The Small Arms family of weapons extends from self-defense handguns to offensive, longer-ranged, crew-served systems. Through continuous interchange of information in regularly scheduled conferences and direct assistance to users and suppliers alike, the Committee insures the continued improvement of the weapons themselves along with their associated ammunition and support devices. The Committee's primary concentrations are individual and crew-served weapons, ammunition, ancillary support equipment, training devices, and new technology.

Okay, so I'm one of those people that has tried everything under the sun for my face. I have been using this for a few months now and I have not gotten any huge breakouts since. My oil has been controlled and I'm not shiny anymore, at all. I use this in the morning and at night, with just a dab of coconut oil for moisturizing. That's it. My skin is softer, more even, and doesn't break out. Highly recommended (I have combination skin that used to get really oily!). My skin is still oily (when I touch my face, it's a tad but shiny as I can see it glisten a bit), but it's not visibly oily anymore which I like.

I have been using this product for two months now and I tawt it would help my one or two pimples. But it seems like every other day I get a new pimple think I'm gona stop using it. Tawt it would work for me but made my skin worst.
So sad really wanted it to work.

I'm 18 years old and as a women j feel everything is directed right toward my face (communicating, taking photos, etc) and acne is horrible to cope with. I've been to several dermatologist and have tried every over the counter wash including the infamous "proactive" and nothing worked!! It make it 100 times worst. Thanks to the amazing free sample i recieved of this product my face has been acne free for 2 weeks. Completely recommend.
I've suffered from back acne, chest acne, neck acne, and face acne (including cystic acne)

This product is excellent for my oily summer skin, but is too drying for the wintertime. For some reason I can't find it on the shelves lately. Works great for my son year round!
Kerry DeVeaux (Submitted on 15th Jan 2015)
I love this product. I have never found any face wash that could help with my super oily skin. I will never use anything else now.
Unknown (Submitted on 2nd Jan 2015)
Only product to clear my skin and even it out. I was recommended this product by my dermatologist and haven't used anything else for the past two years or so.
However, the bottle/dispenser stops working about half way through the product. The dispenser gets stuck when compressed down to dispense the foam and it doesn't come back up even if you try to pull it out. I've gone through multiple bottles and it's annoying that it happens every time. I'm wasting so much of the product just because the bottle fails and I have to buy a new one. I've never been able to finish a bottle because of the faulty dispenser!
Unknown (Submitted on 1st Jan 2015)
I bought this product thinking it would help with my mild-moderate acne. It did not. I broke out even worse on my chin especially. I normally have one or two pimples to worry about. After using the product I got about eight on my chin area. I had to discontinue.
Too bad. I really wanted this product to work!
Unknown (Submitted on 31st Dec 2014)
Im 26years old and never ever had acne just 1 small pimple every few months. I've recently noticed that my skin has become oily and bought Cetaphil Oil Control foam wash for acne prone skin as well as the Moisturizer, it really helps for oil control without causing dry skin but after 2-3weeks if using it, my face looks like someone who suffers from very bad acne, everyday a new pimple pops out and the marks left behind it awful. I'm not sure what to use now, do I use the Cetaphil General face wash or what? Please help
Amanda (Submitted on 8th Dec 2014)
i have used this several times it's awesome.
Unknown (Submitted on 7th Dec 2014)
Product is great, I use it regularly. But over the dozens of bottles I've used, the pump ALWAYS fails. After about 1/2 the bottle is used, the pump will stick and not come back up after being depressed. This is not a rare problem, it happens with EVERY bottle and is a serious design flaw. I'm surprised and disappointed it hasn't been corrected yet.

The Austin area continues to be regarded by most as the best choice in Texas, with a balance of a strong economy, good education, attractive housing, a relatively pleasant climate, and plenty to do. Highlights include the University of Texas, an important music scene, and a large high-tech industry, including Dell, Inc. in Round Rock, 20 miles north. The 50,000-student university is located on a large campus north of downtown. The walkable downtown preserves a small-town Texas feel and is packed with nightclubs and music venues, including the famous "Drag" and the Warehouse District. Music is mostly rock 'n' roll, "hard" country, and blues.
The area continues to be a magnet for business and particularly high-tech and small business startups. The list of names with facilities in town could form a NASDAQ high tech stock index. These businesses are located mainly to the east and north. Growth is spreading mainly north, towards Round Rock and Pfluglerville accompanied by plenty of middle-class housing, and large areas of more upscale housing lie to the west among the hills and towards Lake Travis.
Entertainment and cultural amenities are plentiful, as is outdoor recreation not too far west in the so-called Hill Country. The town is growing rapidly, with a 72 percent population increase since 1990, highest nationwide for a larger city aside from Las Vegas. Sprawl is a major threat, and the city continues to struggle with traffic and growth but not to the degree of many larger cities. There are some struggles between suburban national-chain retail and local, mostly-downtown businesses. The cost of living while low on a national scale is highest in Texas, while home prices, high by state standards, are low by national standards and are a good value. Incomes are very high relative to cost of living and the area has one of the highest expected job-growth rates in the country.
The downtown area sits in a low basin with mostly flat land to the east and hilly areas with limestone outcroppings to the west, separated by a river flowing through town. The landscape is intermittently wooded with deciduous trees. The climate is humid subtropical with occasional continental influence. Summers are hot and moderately humid with most days in the 90's and many evenings in the 70's. Winters are mild with an occasional cold snap. Precipitation is scattered through the year with peaks in late spring and early fall. Moist air and storms from the Gulf can bring heavy rain for days at a time. Winter brings lighter but steady rains. The hills shelter the area from the destructive storms that happen to the north.

Customer Reviews of HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-All-in-One Wireless Color Printer with Scanner, Copier & Fax
Easy Peasy12/25/2014
Fast to set up and love the second paper tray. I wish they would make printers that hold a full ream of paper.
Works great, easy to set up10/3/2014
Very nice printer at a great price. Tons of features, set up was very easy. I love it.
Wow! Great Printer.1/23/2014
I haven't bought a printer in a while but this thing is awesome. The Premium is nice with the second tray and it comes with extra cartridges and glossy paper. Setup was easy (although it took a while to choose English) and walks you right thru it. I set it up on several Windows 7 computers and one Vista and all went ok. I like the "scan to computer" that you do right from the printer console and it asks you if you want pdf , jpg, etc. It loaded 4 of my computers that stay in the printer settings. 2nd tray is nice, setting tray 1 as photo, letterhead or such and tray 2 as plain paper and setting tray lock so you don't pull from the other tray when the default tray 2 is empty. When I wanted to print a photo I told it to print best quality and told it paper type and it got the right paper without having to tell it which tray (1). Printing same picture saying normal quality and normal paper automatically pulled from tray 2. Haven't had it a day yet but I'm very pleased. Not cheap but worth it.
HP Pro 8600 Premium11/15/2013
PROS: copy, scan, fax, print, duplex printing, automatic paper feed, 2nd paper tray, USB, Ethernet, Wifi. Power and phone cable are included with the printer. CONS: The printer cartridge mechanism where you insert the cartridges feels flimsy; I will be curious how this holds up over time. This is definitely not the smallest printer and some people may not have a good location for it in their home. The printer does not come with an Ethernet or USB cable.

The Curtis Hotel is right across the street from the Denver Performing Arts Complex--a city block "hollowed out" in the middle that houses Denver's premier venues: the ones for the opera, the ballet, the symphony, and touring companies of Broadway productions. On a hot day in September, I walked through the complex, under the four-storey-high glass canopy, to the Curtis. It's a fun place, this hotel; the floors have themes. I met Jim Mickle on the superhero floor, on the morning his film was to screen at the 4th Mile High Horror Film Festival. He's a tall guy, affable, friendly, and not at all what I was expecting after watching his sober, dense, matriarchal horror movie We Are What We Are. I expected, at the least, a tweed coat with leather patches on the elbows. On the last day of publicity for the film, after which he was returning to editing duties on his adaptation of Joe Lansdale's awesome noir Cold in July, I promised I would try to avoid asking him questions he'd already answered a few dozen times before--although I couldn't resist bringing up Kelly McGillis and Witness because, yeah, I'm a big, giant dork. We started off, though, talking about Antonia Bird's Ravenous and his own film's Ravenous feel.

Muslims From Abroad Are Thriving in Catholic Colleges
by Richard Perez-Pena
from The New York Times
Arriving from Kuwait to attend college here, Mai Alhamad wondered how Americans would receive a Muslim, especially one whose head scarf broadcasts her religious identity.
At any of the countless secular universities she might have chosen, religion — at least in theory — would be beside the point.But she picked one that would seem to underline her status as a member of a religious minority. She enrolled at the University of Dayton, a Roman Catholic school, and she says it suits her well.
"Here, people are more religious, even if they're not Muslim, and I am comfortable with that," said Ms. Alhamad, an undergraduate in civil engineering, as several other Muslim women gathered in the student center nodded in agreement. "I'm more comfortable talking to a Christian than an atheist."

By Aljosa Vidmar 17 Nov 2010
A very refreshing way of raising puppies - for someone like me who comes from a country where the term "dog psychology" would raise more than a few brows. Recently I adopted a troublesome puppy and this book gave me hope and practical tips on how to transform my little "imp" into a well-behaved dog. I recommend this book to all future dog owners. It's an absolute must-read!

Davis, CA (PRWEB) April 03, 2013
The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) has announced that it has filed articles of incorporation and will seat its first official board of directors. The board is comprised of leaders from national farm organizations, academia, the military and the Farmer Veteran community. An organization dedicated to veteran assistance, FVC was started in 2009 by organic farming pioneer Michael O'Gorman and has grown into a network of veterans pursuing careers in agriculture in 48 states, Puerto Rico and Guam.
The mission of the Farmer Veteran Coalition is to mobilize veterans to feed America. It provides practical skills education, career counseling and one-on-one coaching to prepare veterans to become farmers. In addition, the organization offers the Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund, a small grants program that targets disabled veterans and those who have recently returned from service, assisting them to heal from service-related injuries in a productive farm environment.
The Chair of the new board is Gary Matteson, Vice President of Farm Credit Council for Young, Beginning and Small Farmers. Farm Credit Council is the national trade association representing the Farm Credit System. "Veterans have character and possess unique skills that they can transfer into meaningful careers in agriculture. After their sacrifice and service to our nation, veterans are continuing to serve by joining the ranks of America's farmers," said Matteson.
Retired Brigadier General and fourth-generation Missouri farmer, Charles Kruse will serve as Vice Chair. General Kruse served for 18 years as President of the Missouri Farm Bureau. "As a life-long farmer and having served 26 years in the military, I am proud to be involved in an effort to help veterans become involved in Agriculture. They have stepped up and served us; now it is our turn to serve them."
Larry Jacobs, Co-Founder and Owner of Jacobs Farm/Del Cabo, one of the nation's leading organic vegetable and fresh herb companies, and Founder and CEO of Farm Fuel LLC, will serve as Secretary. Poppy Davis will serve as Treasurer. Ms. Davis is the past national program leader for Small Farms and Beginning Farmers and Ranchers at the USDA, where she co-founded the USDA for Veterans Reservists and Military Families workgroup.
Donn Teske, President of the Kansas Farmers Union, will serve as the Representative-at-Large to the Executive Committee. Teske is a fifth-generation family farmer from Northeast Kansas where he raises organic soybeans, grain sorghum, red clover, wheat and oats.
Board Member Stan Flemming is a retired Brigadier General, Ambassador to the United States Army Reserves, and practices medicine outside Fort Lewis, WA. Ambassador Flemming noted that "FVC fulfills a vital role in the veteran outreach community by providing access to critical services for our men and women who serve our nation with distinction, but who reside in our rural communities where resources are typically scarce or unavailable. They deserve no less than those who reside in our urban communities."
Other Board Members include:

About Farmer Veteran Coalition
The mission of the Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is to mobilize veterans to feed America. Its farming education programs and charitable projects include a small grants program; a program to collect and distribute used farm equipment; a Resource Guide for Veteran Careers in Agriculture; an annual conference for women veterans in Agriculture; and educational, training and veteran employment assistance programs.
FVC has operated as a project of Community Partners of Los Angeles since 2009 and will continue under the fiscal umbrella of Community Partners until the incorporation process is completed sometime later this year.

The Quiet Creek Living Room gallery evolved from the personal art collection housed in the private residence of the owners of the Quiet Creek Inn. As this comfortable, inviting space with its unique environment became sought after for its hosting of public events, it became the obvious and ideal venue for a special, intimate gallery space.
The Quiet Creek Living Room displays an impressive collection of fine art in a variety of mediums, featuring several award-winning plein air artists, ceramicists, and a number of notable painters, including several Art Alliance of Idyllwild artists. In addition to original art, there are limited-edition photographs and vintage posters.
After the consistent requests for public events and the large number of guests peering into our living room windows to sneak peeks at our collection, the owners agreed it was time to open the beautiful residential space and the art work to the public.
Quiet Creek Living Room Gallery moved off-site in 2012 and is NO LONGER AT QUIET CREEK INN. Their in-town location in the heart of Idyllwild Village closed later in 2014.

This weekend on "CBS News Sunday Morning," the family of author Stieg Larsson reveals to correspondent Erin Moriarty that the much-talked-about fourth book in his Millennium series is, in fact, really the fifth book.
Larsson is the Swedish novelist behind the best-selling books "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest," which have become a worldwide literary phenomenon. The books portray what Larsson saw as the dark sides of Sweden, and the conspiracy theories surrounding Larsson's sudden death in 2004 have only further fueled their popularity.
Larsson had initially envisioned the Millennium series to consist of 10 novels, but died just before the first of three was published. Rumors of an unfinished manuscript swirled and Larsson's father says that it does exist and that he has seen and held it.
"I got the email from Stieg 10 days before he died where he wrote book number four is nearly finished," says his brother Joakim in his first U.S. television interview. "And to make it more complicated, this book number four, [is] book number five, because he thought that [it] was more fun to write than book number four."
And in the six years since Larsson's death, questions and controversies surrounding his legacy are at the center of a battle between his brother and father, who inherited the rights to the books and the millions they generate, and Larsson's girlfriend of 32 years, Eva Gabrielsson.
"We find out that we inherited everything and Eva just stopped talking to us," says Larsson's father, Erland.
"We want to work with Eva. She says 'no,'" adds Joakim. "We tried for nearly six years to get an agreement with her of some sort in any way. But she turned us down all the time for some reason."
Eva Gabrielsson declined CBS' request for an interview.

All breaks for all arrivals
The park itself is very clean and quiet. The bus stop outside the park made getting into Great Yarmouth itself very accessible as we are reliant on public transport. The staff we spoke to wre all friendly and polite . The only niggle was that some of the caravans didn't appear to have numbers on them . It took us a while to locate ours because it wasn't numbered though the one next to it was.
Inland location on the edge of the Broads and easy to get to most places. The site has plenty of amenities and entertainment and we also stayed last year (and may possibly next year too).
facilities good
Meals good
Staff helpful & polite
Nice little holiday park, good area, not far from main Great Yarmouth strip, quiet location. Overall the park could do with a bit of upgrade particularly the playground area and the mini golf but the pools are fantastic and the staff very friendly.
Good time kids liked it
Nice caravan, except for a few cleaniness issues that I had to rectify....thick dust around skirting board/headboard in bedroom and on radiator and also I had to scrub the draining rack in kitchen as it was beyond grubby!
Bed very uncomfortable, luckily we had taken our own duvet, so could use the one provided to put under the sheet for extra comfort.
Staff were polite and helpful.
Wouldn't go when weather was cold again, as it was freezing at night, even with heating on.
Food was way over priced for standard provided.
Helpful staff, accommodation 100%, food in restaurant to be desired had to send mine back on two occasions
The service we received from the staff was marvellous. They were professional and pleasant and helpful. The accommodation was well thought out and very clean. We had every appliance we could possibly have needed at our disposal. Breydon Water and the attractions in the surrounding area are geared for families and children so for a couple of old dodderers like us there was not much we could do.
Very helpful staff, who did a first class job of resolving a booking problem for us, immediately.
Not enough facilities on site for our type of holiday, but other than that, it was perfect.
Lovely location, right next to a five minute walk to Burgh Castle (Roman remains).
Really enjoyed my holiday the drinks in the bar was very expensive. I would not go for the bronze again as found it very cold but other then that it was great staff were very helpful
An excellent area for bird watching. A nice place to stay though the caravan was a bit drafty but then it didn't have double glazing, suppose could have paid bit more for one with.
There is not alot for young children on site apart from a little park.
A small shop where you can just about get bread,milk etc.
I would not stay again
lovely holiday, the only disappointment was I booked thinking there was a indoor pool on site, so my boys would have something to do in bad weather, the advertising was poor, it should state what is on each site and they are 1/4 mile apart, sign post to the site should be clear when approaching you end up driving past, all in all would go back warmer weather the boys are looking forward to using out door pool.
We didn't spend much time on the park as it's so well located for many attractions. When we did staff were friendly and helpful and the site was clean and tidy. Only downside was that the caravan was freezing at night despite having the heaters on. This is not a reflection on the park though as I assume all caravans are the same. Would definitely stay here again and have in fact booked to do so in August.
We loved staying here, the clubhouse was really good and we always got a seat which is a bonus , overall it was better than we expected.
