Just trying to get the best and close to realism space scenes I can. I had to retexture my space ships using the Steel shader so I could get them to look as close to real as I possibly could.

Nice work! I should try and find (and resurrect) my space tips and tricks thread. There was a lot of good info in there.
Here's one I did for the thread.
I find it somewhat liberating not to be encumbered by accuracy.
Great scene! A lot to see.

Nice work! I should try and find (and resurrect) my space tips and tricks thread.
I did a search for space tips tricks, didn't see a thread. Point me to it when you get a chance, please.
Update: OK, I found it by scrolling thru your post list:
The search feature on this forum is definitely broken. Better to use Google for the search: tips tricks space site:daz3d.com/forums
I found it in Google. Probably at the same time you found the link scrolling through my posts.
Holly has an extremely helpful tutorial on making a sun. Even if you never make a sun model, the knowledge you can gain about the Texture room is invaluable!
I'll second the request for the space tips!
Not sure if it is all that realistic, but I recently did an animation recreating the Apollo 17 launch from the moon. Link is here:
Hey, it's a decent animation.
I took some time to create a few myself, but haven't done much in that department because of the time it has taken me to re-texture my models. I get a lot of models that are from vendors like Richard Jeferies that need textures,
That is pretty good. You got the look right for the lift off with the particles. The only thing you may want to do is somehow add noise and imperfections to the video.
Here's an extremely rough cut sample of some shots I'm working on for a longer animation. It's really rough at the moment, but I like some of the more iconic shots and may re-render a couple other shots to better match the look.
This is so bizarre. I'm rendering a space sequence as we speak!
Dartanbeck @ Daz3d Check out the Carrara Cafe ►►► Carrara Information Manual ◄◄◄
It's experimental. You know how the first Star Wars movie opens with that super long shot of the star destroyer passing over? Well this is sort of like that, but a few seconds in, Rosie comes slamming up to the camera and stays in the camera's view for the remainder. She's in one of her fighter crafts. A Needle Starship that I bought before petipet called himself petipet, but was called geekatplay. I think I own all of the petipet air craft now - that big Vimana Flying Machine was missing from my collection for some crazy reason until just recently. NBow that I have it I'm asking myself why I waited. Thing is just cool! The flyby large craft is a slightly modified HMS Fairborne by Philip Drawbridge. I don't have his Fast Attack craft, and don't recall knowing that his Sub-Mariner was a Carrara model. Gonna have to get those - just 'cause I like Drawbridgep models. The Derstroyer HMS August was my first drawbridgep purchase. Then came the super-killer Deep Space Heavy Cruiser… Oh… man I love that one! The others in his collection are Bryce models. If I ever do get Bryce up and running and find that I enjoy using it, I'll buy those too.
I was going to do this shot (the one I'm rendering now) with Rosie in her Thunderbike by Kibaretto. That's one heck of an attack craft. Very maneuverable with unbeatable acceleration capabilities that most humans can't stomach. The needle was already set up and ready to go - so since my current Carrara play time is limited, I chose this sporty little rig! It is… the Needle reminds me of the really cool racetrack-only sports cars of the 50's and 60's. Vettes and Jaguar, Mercedes… AC Cobra… that cool tiny cockpit with the long, sporting front jam packed with absolute horsepower! General Grievous from Star Wars The Clone Wars has a ship a lot like the Needle. Well, here it is, if you'd like to see the product. I'll name a few more favorites in my petipet collection as well:
Aircraft Needle (I guess it isn't really even a starship - but that's what I use it for)
Starship Harpoon - This is the one Rosie took to TheAntFarm's Techno Station in my earlier sample video. I love this ship!
I guess I don't have The Zeppelin Star yet. When I'm done typing, I shall rectify that. One cool thing about being a PC member. If I got $2, I can buy cool petipet ships!
The amazing Starship Sky-Hammer
Steam Dragon I love this, too. And I have a special purpose for this baby.
Aircraft Condor reminds me of the Flight Vehicle Construction Set - but that I don't have to put together. Cool ship nonetheless.
Starship Stingray was also going to be used in this shot - but I've decided that I want to make my own textures for it first. Love the shape and versatility of this cool ship.
Air Car Jumper is another that has escaped my grasp so far. I'll likely add this one soon - as I begin busying my Sci Fi city scene again. I have a lot - but when I look around today - I realize that there's no such thing as too much variety in personal transportation vehicles in a city.
I was totally tickled pink when he released the Nomad Module!!! Any Star Wars fan has to have one of these!!!
I bought the Drone Wasp just recently - also for filling Sci Fi Cities - but finding out that this little baby can fulfill many a role! Glad to have it aboard!
I've already mentioned the Vimana Flying Machine which might just make for the perfect Bad Guy car! I can just see it… that retro escape with the evil, maniacal laughter: "...and I will R U L E the World!"
And then, just the other day, I've finally bought the Starship Piranha, which rounds out my current petipet Starship collection. Of course I've also got the really cool city and many of his excellent cars and most everything that he sells, for that matter. Great models at a great price is hard for me to pass up - trying to fill a whole movie full of assets in my short, human lifespan.
Sorry for going on so… Just felt it hit the right topic - got me in the mood to share what I've got going on up my sleeve as for the "play" side of Carrara. I could really go off on Sci Fi sets that I've been buying too… but I've typed enough for now. Since I cannot type - it takes me forever to say all of this. So…. we'll talk to you later.

Very decent! Love it!
If my animation turns out, I'll post it up. I'm utilizing the Gamma Correction = 2.2 Technique brought to us by Phil Wilkes. I actually just wanted to test it out, and was amazed at the difference it gave my scene. But what was really strange - and I just cannot understand it - but it turned on the render speed! Man! I doubt it's like this across the board - but for this scene, I turned on Ambient Occlusion Only, under Indirect Lighting, instead of going Full Indirect, and left the Sky Light unchecked. Set the Gamma Correction to 2.2 and ran a test. I couldn't believe how much faster it rendered than when the setting were the same, but without any indirect lighting calculations, and no Gamma correction. Otherwise the same. Odd… wouldn't you say? But it made my HMS Fairborne flyby really look nice! It's like adding a bunch of life to the steel construction. Can't wait to see how the whole nine second animation renders out.

So, is that the actual soundtrack theme from that movie? Just asking. I like it.
Speaking of liking it…
Dude, I love what you've got going on, here! Sweet!!! Keep going! I want to see MORE!
Hi move along, there's nothing to see here.
Here's something silly I made a few years ago, mid 2009
The only space scenes are at the beginning.
You can see why I gave up animation. I just don't have the patience to line things up or reshoot them,
I modelled and rigged and textured all the objects in the video,
Even the ewocly thingies.
You can see why I gave up animation.
Oh I already said that.
But seriously, I now know that with care Carrara could have done a great job of this.

The "Shemie" Successfully Launches on Kickstarter after Shark Tank Appearance
"The Shemie," a layering garment for women, created by Los Angeles based stylist Shelton Wilder, has successfully launched on Kickstarter after debuting nationally on ABC's Shark Tank.
After appearing on the critically acclaimed show for budding entrepreneurs, on Friday Oct 26th, and not securing a deal with one of the Sharks, Wilder is looking to the support of her Shark Tank fans and Shemie lovers to reach her goal of $29,000 in 30 days to start production in her home state of North Carolina.
"I'm thrilled for the opportunity to be on Shark Tank, which is like having a $2 million commercial for Shemie, and now I'm using all of my "POSITRON" and determination for the launch." Since Wilder's appearance on Shark Tank, the phone has been steadily ringing with potential investors inquires, and orders from boutiques, online stores and major retailers.
For years Wilder struggled to style her clients with undergarments that would make their outfits wearable, especially when designers were making clothes too sheer, too low cut, and too short.
"I'm so excited about my ultimate layering piece, The Shemie, says Wilder. "I realized my biggest issue in dressing modern day women while trying to make my clients look beautiful at the same time was the absence of a simple staple from the past, the slip!"
The finished opaque garment is versatile enough to be worn as a layering piece, or by itself and is available in three styles: (1) the elegant Scoop, called "Meet the Parents," providing coverage without bust line exposure; (2) the Cami, called "The Hoppy Top," after the playful comfort and ease it brings; and (3) the Romper, called "Paparazzi Protector," the answer to those sexy dresses women love to wear but fear exposure. It is made of a nylon/spandex blend with adjustable straps that can be worn with a simple pair of blue jeans but is also great for hiking, yoga, tennis, or any other physical activity. Designed to compliment women's bodies of all shapes and sizes 0 – 22. (http://www.theshemie.com)
Shelton is grateful for the exposure of her brand on Shark Tank and "I hope that my honestly and passion for my business are inspiring to everyone...I'm not giving up my dreams!"

Oulu is a city built over water, with a network of breezy pedestrian bridges connecting the islets that comprise the city. In the summer, it's a lovely place for walking and cycling, and locals turn out in great numbers to savor the daylight. Comfortable hotels in Oulu city center place visitors in prime position to take it all in.
Kauppahalli, the city's lakeside market square, teems with shoppers from the early morning onward. It hinges on a food and produce market, where merchants sell everything from Arctic berries to reindeer meat. Flanking the square is a rambling collection of wooden houses that sells souvenirs and handicrafts.
Sightseeing attractions in central Oulu include the city's 19th-century cathedral and Oulu castle (Oulunlinna). The latter was built in the 16th century and literally exploded in a freak lightning-meets-gunpowder accident. The castle was never rebuilt, but an on-site café still attracts visitors.
Oulu has plenty to offer on the modern front as well. It's a booming research and development hub for the IT industry, and everyone enjoys wide-ranging Internet access thanks to the publicly funded wireless network in the city center. The Tietomaa Science Centre is a perennial family-pleaser with dozens of interactive exhibits.
Four- and five-star hotels in Oulu stick close to the waterfront near the marina and frigid (but popular) swimming spots like Tuira Beach. Staying in the center of this affluent town allows for impromptu visits to art galleries, museums and fine-dining restaurants. Golf is also a popular pursuit.
Oulu Airport is Finland's second-busiest, and it operates flights to Helsinki, Kemi, Turku, Riga and several regional hubs across Scandinavia. Traveling by rail is twice as fast as taking the bus, with trains connecting to Helsinki in about six hours.

Results 11 to 20 of 99
Heavyweight: Brock Lesnar-When does Gonzaga get a shot? Seriously, his superior wrestling skills and monstrous GnP could keep the challengers at bay until gets comfortable in the cage.
I give him 1 year. 2 if Dana milks it.
Light Heavyweight: Lyoto Machida- Him and Silva are the flagship species of UFC, so you may as well get comfortable.
Middleweight: Anderson Silva-It takes one bad day against a good wrestler to do it. Not counting Dan Henderson, I don't think a good enough one will swim with through his waters anytime soon.
Until he retires or throws the fight (God Forbid)
Welterweight: Georges St-Pierre- "It's mma..." - hpr
He got his ass whipped by pure New Jersey bred aggression. Anything is possible.
3-5 years.
Lightweight: BJ Penn- A lot of technicians and talent go through the LW division. Factoring BJ's ups and downs, It's hard to say.

I think Machida could hold on to it for a very long time, and even if he loses, I think he'll hang around the top for a good long while. Hopefully his ground game is as good as his standup.
I also think Lesnar is better than a lot of folks give him credit for. Against Mir, he didn't push his advantage from that lockdown; he stuck with it until the inevitable happened. He might not be the mindless beast he's been pegged for. He's headstrong, for sure, but he does learn from his mistakes and is getting better. Plus, he's tough enough to survive a lot of those mistakes. He is a wildcard, but I'm not ready to say he'll be stuffed real soon.
When GSP outfought Thiago on every level, I thought for sure I was looking at the best (despite his injury). I think he's the most well-balanced fighter I've seen, except perhaps Fedor. Too bad there's such a size disparity and so many politics between organizations.
Thumbs up!

I'm reserving judgement on Lesnar untill after the Carwin fight. He's certainly a force in the HW division and certainly championship material. He's an enourmous prick and I hope he gets is ass handed to him, but there's no denying he fucking dominated Mir, a former champion himself and no panty-waist. But Lesnar still has a lot of question marks around him, his chin being the biggest one.
What I will say is that Lesnar's chin and stand-up WILL be tested by Carwin. How he measures up to that test will determine if he's going to be champ for very long.
I figure Dana is going to milk the attraction for another three fights. Brock will fight Kongo, a mid-range fighter, and then another semi-retiree before he faces off against Carwin or Gonzaga. Hell, he may even fight Kimbo between now and then.
Wait was he announced to fight Carwin?Sumus extra manum tuam.

De Luxe CleanersRead MoreCharleen "Char" Gagliardi owes her life to dry cleaning. In 1937, her parents bought a red bungalow on McHenry Avenue and opened up Deluxe Cleaners. The business kept Char's dinner plate full and her wardrobe natty as a youth, and it became her bread and butter 40 years later, when she left her career as a teacher to continue her parent's legacy. With the help of her husband, Carl, Char built a laundry room and initiated free pickup and delivery service, and the couple joined the Lions Club to share their work ethic and the free wattage emanating from their luminous smiles with the community. Char and Carl now watch proudly as their daughter, Pam, follows a familiar path to happiness. Pam began learning the ins and outs of Deluxe Cleaners when she was 13. She has since modernized its gadgets with the support of her husband, and she designed an invisible fairy-wing steamer at the behest of her three children. Three generations of know-how inform their technique, which relies on petroleum-based solvent to clean fine garments and household textiles such as rugs and bedding without damaging the environment.532 McHenry AvenueModesto, CA US

He founded Gill Dental Group, which now boasts multiple locations, alongside Dr. Lavanya Gill, a dental expert who has written more than 50 dentistry articles for local newspapers.

The feds bungled a key opportunity to possibly nix the 9/11 terror plot, it was reported yesterday.
An Arabic-speaking FBI agent had requested information about a Jan. 5, 2000, Al Qaeda meeting in Malaysia, but the CIA never turned it over, The New Yorker reported.
The ambitious FBI detective, Ali Soufan, was so upset when he eventually got the information – after 9/11 – that he vomited.
Soufan, who had been investigating the 2000 attack on the U.S. Navy destroyer Cole that killed 17 sailors, realized the two plots were linked.
"And if the CIA had not withheld information from him he likely would have drawn the connection months before Sept. 11," The New Yorker reported. The intelligence Soufan had sought showed that a one-legged jihadi named Khallad – a key Al Qaeda lieutenant linked to the Cole bombing – had attended the Malaysia meeting where the Sept. 11 plot was hatched.
According to the magazine, the CIA also learned in March 2000 that Al Qaeda operative Nawaf Alhazmi was in the United States, but the CIA never alerted the FBI. Alhazmi ended up on the American Airlines flight that crashed into the Pentagon.
The CIA may not have told the FBI about Alhazmi and another Qaeda operative, Khalid… Continue reading
By Matthew Everett
Since 9/11, numerous authors and researchers have drawn attention to training exercises being conducted or prepared for by the U.S. military and other government agencies at the time of the September 11 attacks. With names like Vigilant Guardian, Global Guardian, Timely Alert II, and Tripod, the question has arisen as to what connection these drills might have had with real-world events that morning.[1]
Attention has also been drawn to exercises held prior to 9/11, often bearing an uncanny resemblance to the actual attacks. For example, soon after 9/11 the New Yorker reported: "During the last several years, the government regularly planned for and simulated terrorist attacks, including scenarios that involved multiple-plane hijackings."[2] USA Today reported: "In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating … hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center."[3]
As I will show in this essay, exercises also took place that bore a chilling resemblance to the… Continue reading
Allegations Brought to Inspectors General
By Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.
Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission, hoping to hide the bungled response to the hijackings, these sources said.
In the end, the panel agreed to a compromise, turning over the allegations to the inspectors general for the Defense and Transportation departments, who can make criminal referrals if they believe they are warranted, officials said.
"We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."

Daniel Hopsicker is an independent journalist working in Venice, Florida, outside the decommissioned military airstrips where three pilots from the 9/11 attack were trained. Hopsicker found the secret life of 9/11 ring-leader Mohamed Atta, who lead the operation by piloting the first plane into the World Trade Centre. Hopsicker found Atta's American girlfriend, Amanda Keller. What she said broke new ground for truth-seekers worldwide. Atta had social connections and a party-boy life that indicated there was more to his story than people had been told. The American media establishment turned a blind eye to Hopsicker's work, however. He has been called a "conspiracy theorist" in mainstream media in Florida, when he's paid any attention at all.
Yet, in November, 2006, Hopsicker's career turned a corner. Sources connected to the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) told The Megaphone that his work began to be used to track Atta's former associates. A researcher close to JTTF, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Megaphone that the "JTTF relied heavily on Daniel's research on Atta and Amanda [Keller]. I faxed them pages from [Hopsicker's book] Welcome to Terrorland."
The lead paid off: on November 16, 2006, the Joint Terrorism Task Force issued a "Terror Alert" for a certain Wolfgang Bohringer, a German-born, naturalized U.S. citizen who had reportedly partied with and protected Mohamed Atta in Florida. Bohringer's name came up often in interviews with Amanda Keller.…Continue reading

The Hidden History of 9-11-2001
Research in Political Economy
2006 Volume 23.
Ed. by Paul Zarembka
Governments have long found it useful to manufacture rationale for pursuing war and repression. The sinking of the Battleship Maine at the outset of the Spanish-American-Cuba War is the classic example. When President Harry Truman wanted to offer assistance to anti-Communist forces in Greece and Turkey in 1947, Republican senator Arthur Vandenburg promised his support if Truman would "scare the hell out of the American people." In 1962, the Pentagon mounted Operation Northwoods, a plan involving false-flag actions, state-sponsored terrorism and the hijacking of planes on U.S. and Cuban soil designed to generate American public support for an invasion of Cuba. Then there was the case of the distraught young Iraqi woman testifying before U.S. Congressional hearings in the run-up to Gulf War I about babies being tossed out of incubators by Saddam Hussein's soldiers.
The essays included in The Hidden History of 9-11-2001 lead to the conclusion that the attack on the World Trade Center may have been the biggest false-flag operation of them all. This 2006 issue of Research in Political Economy examines different aspects of 9-11, which, taken together, provide a serious challenge to those who dismiss the possibility that a government-based conspiracy was behind the events of 9-11.
The first section of the journal debunks the information provided by the U.S. government about the number and identity of the hijackers. Following that, other authors provide evidence indicating that it was impossible for the burning jet fuel from the planes to have caused the collapse of the World Trade Center towers; that a series of military war games taking place on 9-11 caused confusion in military circles and prevented normal emergency response operations to kick in; and that the insider trading in the shares of the airlines that were hijacked that day lays open the possibility that huge sums were made by people who were aware in advance of what was coming.…Continue reading

The Summary
BBC World News started reporting that 7 World Trade Center had collapsed about 23 minutes before the building actually came down, as video of the news network's live broadcast on September 11th shows.
The skyscraper also known as the Salomon Brothers Building was still standing and clearly visible over the shoulder of a BBC reporter in New York, even as the network provided accurate, past- tense details of its collapse. Jane Standley's live report was interrupted about five minutes before WTC 7 actually came down at 5:20pm EDT. A video clip establishing this anomaly was discovered on the archive.org news service and first pointed out to the public Monday by the blog writer 911veritas at 911blogger.com .
The ensuing controversy has prompted a swift, unusually angry response from the BBC, which however has failed to address the substantive issue: Apparently the network's personnel were unfamiliar with WTC 7, which is excusable. They were however reporting information culled from a source with advance knowledge of the building's collapse. Who was that source?
The answer may be essential to settling the long-standing dispute over… Continue reading

When Matthew Rothschild, editor of the online magazine The Progressive, wrote an article called "Enough of the 9/11 Conspiracies, Already", we all knew he was not talking about the conspiracy theory that the US government sells us to justify the expanding 9/11 Wars.[1] To the contrary, in writing that article Mr. Rothschild was selling that same theory himself. What he actually meant was that people should not question the US government's story of terror because credentialed experts have been found to support it. But the fact is that the experts found to support the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 are predominantly those who profit from doing so. That's not to say that all of these people were "part of the conspiracy". But they are, whether consciously or not, a part of the cover-up. And that, of course, is the greater crime.
The Bush Administration employed a number of such credentialed experts to give us multiple explanations for the unprecedented destruction of three tall steel-framed buildings at the World Trade Center (WTC). Unfortunately, all of those explanations have proven to be false, and this fact reminds us that academic credentials don't necessarily make a person more capable, or more likely, to tell the truth.
Exactly how they could find so many experts on the fire-induced collapse of tall buildings is not immediately clear, considering such an event had never happened before. But it did help that the questions were quickly framed as being… Continue reading

Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts
by The Editors of Popular Mechanics (Author), John McCain (Foreword), David Dunbar (Editor), Brad Reagan (Editor)
Publisher: Hearst (August 15, 2006)
Maybe the life of the nation is at stake, and maybe it isn't. Maybe this is a time of unprecedented tyranny, and maybe it is simply what was just out of view on the same road we have been traveling for the last seventy years. Maybe this was a sea change and a quantum leap, or maybe it was neither. Regardless of the proper description of the event and this time in history, 9/11 has become an opportunity for enormous hope, great change, and an entirely new perspective.
Whether one is inclined to indulge, or even consider, the theoretical justifications for the massacre of 9/11 (the need to awaken a sleeping nation to the requirements of global hegemony), or not, the nature of the act and its perpetrators are matters of importance from every conceivable standpoint. The progress of the debate about that nature and those perpetrators has been enhanced by Debunking 9/11 Myths, edited by David Dunbar and Brad Reagan of Popular Mechanics magazine. Maybe not in ways the writers had hoped.
To the world at large, to the hungry masses yearning for points to be refuted or sustained, answers given, questions acknowledged if not answered, the appearance of a book by the mainstream which purports to establish, as the subtitle declares, "… Continue reading
September 11, 2001: The French Knew Much About It
By Guillaume Dasquié
Le Monde
Monday 16 April 2004
It's an impressive mass of documents. From a distance, one would imagine a doctoral thesis. On closer inspection: nothing of the kind. Red stamps "Confidential-Defense" and "Strictly National Usage" on every page. At the top on the left, a royal blue logo: that of the DGSE, Direction générale des services extérieurs [General Directorate for Foreign Services], the French secret services. In total, 328 classified pages. Notes, reports, syntheses and summaries, maps, graphs, organization charts, satellite photos. All exclusively devoted to al-Qaeda, its leaders, its seconds-in-command, its hide-outs and training camps. Also to its financial supports. Nothing less than the fundamentals of the DGSE reports compiled between July 2000 and October 2001. A veritable encyclopedia.
At the end of several months of investigation of this very special documentation, we contacted DGSE headquarters. And on April 3, the present chief of staff, Emmanuel Renoult, received us there, within the confines of the Tourelles garrison in Paris. After thumbing through the 328 pages that we set on his desk, he can't keep himself from deploring such a leak, all the while allowing us to understand that the packet represents virtually the entirety of DGSE production on the subject for this crucial period. On the other hand, it was impossible to draw the least comment from him on the substance of the material. Too sensitive.
It's true that these secret services chronicles about al-Qaeda, with their various revelations, raise many questions.…Continue reading

In late August 2001, when aggressive presidential action might have changed the course of U.S. history, CIA Director George Tenet made a special trip to Crawford, Texas, to get George W. Bush to focus on an imminent threat of a spectacular al-Qaeda attack only to have the conversation descend into meaningless small talk.
Alarmed CIA officials already had held an extraordinary meeting with then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice on July 10 to lay out the accumulating evidence of an impending attack and had delivered on Aug. 6 a special "Presidential Daily Brief" to Bush entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US."
"A few weeks after the Aug. 6 PDB was delivered, I followed it to Crawford to make sure the President stayed current on events," Tenet wrote in his memoir, At the Center of the Storm. "This was my first visit to the ranch. I remember the President graciously driving me around the spread in his pickup and my trying to make small talk about the flora and the fauna, none of which were native to Queens," where Tenet had grown up.
Tenet's trip to Crawford — like the July 10 meeting with Rice and the Aug. 6 briefing paper for Bush — failed to shock the administration out of its lethargy nor elicit the emergency steps that the CIA and other counterterrorism specialists wanted.
While Tenet and Bush made small talk about "the flora and the fauna," al-Qaeda operatives put the finishing touches on their plans.…Continue reading
Bin Laden may have arranged family's US exit: FBI docs
Jun 20 04:08 PM US/Eastern
Osama bin Laden may have chartered a plane that carried his family members and Saudi nationals out of the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks, said FBI documents released Wednesday.
The papers, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, were made public by Judicial Watch, a Washington-based group that investigates government corruption.
One FBI document referred to a Ryan Air 727 airplane that departed Los Angeles International Airport on September 19, 2001, and was said to have carried Saudi nationals out of the United States.
"The plane was chartered either by the Saudi Arabian royal family or Osama bin Laden," according to the document, which was among 224 pages posted online.
The flight made stops in Orlando, Florida; Washington, DC; and Boston, Massachusetts and eventually left its passengers in Paris the following day.
In all, the documents detail six flights between September 14 and September 24 that evacuated Saudi nationals and bin Laden family members, Judicial Watch said in a statement.
"Incredibly, not a single Saudi national nor any of the bin Laden family members possessed any information of investigative value," Judicial Watch said.
"These documents contain numerous errors and inconsistencies which call to question the thoroughness of the FBI's investigation of the Saudi flights.
"For example, on one document, the FBI claims to have interviewed 20 of 23 passengers on the Ryan International Airlines flight … on another document the FBI claims to have interviewed 15 to 22 passengers on the same flight."
Asked about the documents' assertion that either bin Laden or the Saudi royals ordered the flight, an FBI spokesman said the information was inaccurate.…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

Zogby Poll: 51% of Americans Want Congress to Probe Bush/Cheney Regarding 9/11 Attacks; Over 30% Seek Immediate Impeachment
67% also fault 9/11 Commission for not investigating anomalous collapse of World Trade Center 7
Kansas City, MO (Zogby International) September 6, 2007 – As America nears the sixth anniversary of the world-churning events of September 11, 2001, a new Zogby International poll finds a majority of Americans still await a Congressional investigation of President Bush' and Vice President Cheney's actions before, during and after the 9/11 attacks. Over 30% also believe Bush and/or Cheney should be immediately impeached by the House of Representatives.
The 911truth.org-sponsored poll also found that over two-thirds of Americans say the 9/11 Commission should have investigated the still unexplained collapse of the 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001.
WTC 7 housed the mayor's emergency bunker and offices of the SEC, IRS, CIA and Secret Service and was not hit by any planes but still completely collapsed into its own footprint nearly eight hours after the Twin Tower attacks. FEMA did not explain this collapse, the 911 Commission ignored it, and the promised official study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is now 2 years overdue.
Janice Matthews, executive director of poll sponsor 911truth.org, observes: "The supermajority response to the WTC Building 7 question signals an increasing public concern about this remarkable event — up from 38% last year. We can perhaps credit this… Continue reading

Some of you may have noticed that I have started a new "Who Is?" series with regard to 9/11. The reason I started this was because I thought too much emphasis was being placed on the physical aspects of 9/11, and not enough on the background information, the people who may have had something to do with it, the people who participated in the cover-up, the whistleblowers, the family members, the people who represent discrepancies, and so on.
I am using the work compiled by Paul Thompson at www.cooperativeresearch.org. There are links available to each of the stories sourced on the original website. Unfortunately, it's just too much work to duplicate what Paul and others have done with regard to links. I want to thank them all for their tremendous efforts.
I also want people to know that the information provided is not the "end all/be all" of 9/11. However, it is most definitely an excellent starting point.

Will DOJ Look into the First Death of a U.S. 9/11 Researcher?
By Sander Hicks
October 14, 2007
From 9/24 to 10/1/07 I traveled throughout Louisiana and Texas, with reporter Jordan Green, investigating the death of 9/11 researcher Dr. David Graham.
Our suspicions were validated: there's a huge story here. It's almost overwhelming. The best way to summarize is to publish my complaint filed last week with the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General.
If you support an investigation into the death of Dr. Graham, please say so, in the comments section, at the end. (Please send me your email, too, I may be doing some sort of activism around this. Mine is sander [at] voxpopnet.net)

Dear Inspector,
I am writing to request a special investigation into possible FBI corruption inside the Shreveport, LA. office. I have been researching the strange death of Dr. David M. Graham since I was passed his unpublished manuscript, last spring. This case is of the utmost importance, and is about to receive serious media attention.
A week ago, I returned from a fact-finding mission in Shreveport, New Orleans and Houston. Alongside reporter Jordan Green, I met many of Dr. Graham's surviving friends and coworkers. Every one of them indicated that Dr.… Continue reading

Last year Martha Montalvo-Ariri underwent a routine hysterectomy to help treat painful uterine fibroids. During surgery, her doctor used a morcellator, a device that cuts the tissue into pieces so it can be removed through small incisions.
Ten days after the procedure, Montalvo-Ariri was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of uterine cancer called leiomyosarcoma. Even more devastating, the rotating blade of the morcellator had scattered cancerous tissue fragments around her abdomen and pelvic area, accelerating the disease's progression.
"None of the forms I signed mentioned anything about cancer," said Montalvo-Ariri, a 46-year-old mother of four in Riverside, Calif. "They said it was in and out, very easy, and you're back to your life. Instead, they took my life away."
Cases such as Montalvo-Ariri's have raised significant concerns over the use of power morcellation to remove a woman's uterus or fibroids. Cleared for gynecological surgeries in 1995, morcellators facilitate minimally invasive procedures that can reduce women's pain, recovery time and complications.
In April, however, after reviewing new data, federal regulators urged doctors to stop using morcellators, because if cancer is present the device can spread malignant cells beyond the uterus and worsen a patient's chance for long-term survival. In response, a leading manufacturer of morcellators, Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon subsidiary, suspended sales of the device.
Now medical providers are wrestling with a difficult decision: Should they offer a procedure that has proven benefits for the majority of patients but also carries a rare but deadly risk for a small number?
If women could be tested for all uterine cancers beforehand, doctors could avoid morcellation with some patients. But without doing surgery, there's no reliable way to predict whether a woman with fibroids has a uterine sarcoma, notably leiomyosarcoma, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Many hospitals around the country and in Illinois, including Rush University Medical Center, Loyola University Health System and Swedish Covenant Hospital, have stopped using morcellation at least temporarily.
But others have said morcellation still has a role in gynecological surgery and that, with appropriate counseling, patients can decide for themselves. Last month Northwestern Memorial Hospital reinstated the technique under "controlled circumstances" and for those who might be at higher risk with a traditional open procedure. Advocate Health Care lifted a systemwide ban in May.
Three professional medical associations acknowledge the risk but say morcellation should be an option in some cases because minimally invasive procedures cause fewer complications, injuries and deaths than open surgery.
The issue comes to a head Thursday when the FDA holds a public meeting to discuss how to make morcellation safer, including whether a black box warning should be added to the product labeling.
Some want more drastic action. A growing chorus of doctors, clinicians and leiomyosarcoma patients and their families want the device banned, arguing that morcellation is reckless and that viable alternatives exist.
"I've been seeing women harmed by this thing for the last eight years," said Dr. Robert Lamparter, a pathologist at a small Pennsylvania hospital who wrote a letter to the FDA requesting the device's clearance be revoked. He said he has analyzed tissue in five cases in which an unanticipated cancer was morcellated.
"I'm just horrified," Lamparter said in an interview. "It's not just another complication. There is no acceptable injury or death rate for an elective surgical device, even if it's wonderful for those who aren't harmed."
About 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in the U.S. each year. Research suggests about 40 percent are done to remove presumably benign or noncancerous fibroids that are causing heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, or other symptoms.
The number of morcellations is not tracked, prompting calls for a nationwide registry of gynecological surgeries that would include information on the devices used.
The safest and most cost-effective way to remove the uterus is through a vaginal incision, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. But that isn't possible with enlarged uteruses or large fibroids unless the tissue is cut into small pieces with a power morcellator or by hand using a scalpel.
The traditional surgical choice involves a 5- to 7-inch incision in a woman's abdomen. This method offers doctors the clearest view but like all surgeries carries a higher risk of infection and complications such as blood clots. Though the overall mortality risk is low, research suggests abdominal hysterectomy patients die three times more often than those who undergo a laparoscopic procedure.
The risks of morcellation are difficult to assess. The FDA estimates that about 1 in 350 women who undergo a hysterectomy or fibroid surgery have an undetected form of uterine cancer. But those numbers have been questioned because the studies are small, leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare and the data aren't broken down by age.
Complicating the issue: Even without morcellation, the outlook for women with leiomyosarcoma is grim. The five-year survival rate for women at stage 1, when the cancer is confined to the uterus, is about 50 percent, according to the National Cancer Institute. (Once the cancer has spread, the rate is about 15 percent.) For most other gynecologic cancers, the five-year survival rate is 90 percent if the tumor is contained.

Can you make the call?: Live-ball fouls or dead-ball fouls?
When do you throw the flag and blow your whistle to stop the play or throw the flag and let the play continue? When is a foul a "live-ball" foul or a "dead-ball" foul?
Normally, a "live-ball" foul is one that occurs after the football is snapped and while the play is happening. A "dead-ball" foul normally is a foul that occurs before the snap. However, there are exceptions to complicate the issue.
Here are some play situations to test your knowledge.
Play One: From its own 30-yard line, the offense lines up in a spread formation. The split end never gets set or stops for one second before the snap. The quarterback runs around right end for a 7-yard gain. What is the result of this play?
Answer — Since all 11 offensive players did not come to a complete stop for one second before the snap, the play should be whistled dead at the snap. This is a 5-yard dead-ball foul.
Play Two: From the opponent's 15-yard line on first and 10, the offense lines up with two backs outside the right tight end. Both backs start in motion before the snap. The quarterback hands the football to the fullback who runs up the middle for a 3-yard gain. What is the result of this play?
Answer — This is an illegal shift. It is a live-ball foul. The defense can accept the result of the play or penalize the offense 5 yards from the 15-yard line.
Play Three: On fourth and 15 from the opponent's 40-yard line, the punter takes the snap and runs to his right. At the 38-yard line he kicks the football downfield. It rolls out of bounds at the opponent's 12-yard line. What is the result of this play?
Answer —An illegal kick from beyond the line of scrimmage should be whistled dead when the football is kicked. The penalty for an illegal scrimmage kick is 5 yards from the previous spot and loss of down. It will be first and 10 for the opponent at the 45-yard line.
Play Four: On a pass from midfield, the defensive back intercepts the football at the 40-yard line. As he returns it for a touchdown he points the football at his opponent as he crosses the 10-yard line. What is the result of this play?
Answer — In previous seasons, this would be a live-ball foul treated as a dead-ball foul. Now, when the foul occurs during a play, this unsportsmanlike conduct foul is a live-ball foul. There is no touchdown. The 15-yard penalty is walked off from the spot of the foul. It is first and 10 for the intercepting team at the 25-yard line.

I'm so glad I ordered this book and finally read it after misplacing a copy from years ago. The Psalms/Songs of Ascents were to Israel what the Body of Christ needs today. Every chapter about each Psalm, from 120-134, is filled with Biblical truth and wise counsel for today. We can deal with chaos and uncertainty as we look to the Maker of heaver and earth who surrounds His people like the mountains surround Jerusalem. It takes reading and meditating to take it all in, but is definitely worth the journey.

Diaz/Condit - What a surprise! Condit had a brilliant strategy and stuck to the plan of getting back to the center of the ring and being elusive instead of allowing Diaz to corner him. Carlos threw so many different strikes too, even though many missed, he still kept busy. This was the first time I saw Diaz frustrated and I wish he had tried more to take it to the ground. I could have seen the decision go either way, but yea, I think Condit outscored him. Diaz did make some good points about how he saw it, but his little bitch-fit was kind of sore-loserish to me, and looked immature imo. WIll he retire? He might, but I sure hope not. I really like Diaz but it seems he still has some maturing to do. I don't want to see him mellow out or anything, he just needs to hold his head high and keep on fighting. I am looking forward to watching the post fight interviews.
"You guys pay me a [expletive] load of money, but I don't think I'm getting enough to keep going on," he said. "I don't need this [expletive]. I pushed this guy backward, and he ran from me the whole fight. He ran the whole fight. "I landed the harder shots. He ran the whole time. He kicked me in the leg with little baby leg kicks the whole fight. That's the way [you] win in here, so I don't want to play this game no more."

According to FightMetric, Condit outlanded Diaz 159-117 (including 151-105 in significant strikes). Diaz had a slight edge with head and body shots, but Condit's low kicks – he outlanded Diaz 68-6 in that department – surely played a large part in the final scores.From Here
Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz may ultimately fight again someday, but it doesn't look like it will be anytime soon.
Former Strikeforce champion Diaz tested positive for marijuana metabolites following his controversial five-round clash with former WEC titleholder Condit at this past weekend's UFC 143 event.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/14/12
Can you smell it? Take a whiff… It's the smell of millions of Yankees fans across the globe crapping their pants. The Yankees keep getting older and older, and the other AL East teams keep getting better and better. The Yankees are on the brink of being in the middle of the pack in the AL East, and the fans are going to be out of their minds screaming for Josh Hamilton now. Yankees fans weren't the only ones upset after the news of the blockbuster trade between the Marlins and Blue Jays broke. Giancarlo Stanton tweeted about how upset he was, which is understandable, because nobody wants to be the guy left behind. He must feel like Burgess Meredith in that episode of the Twilight Zone when he was the only man left on earth. Well, I guess Meredith's character was actually pretty happy to be the only one left, until he stepped on his glasses. But you get the point. The great news about this trade is it looks like the Mets are pretty much guaranteed to not finish in last place in 2013....

My local grocery stores usually offer a great deal on overripe bananas. When I know I'll have some time for baking, I'll snatch up a bunch of them so I can stock my freezer with banana muffins. This past year I tried out peanut butter banana muffins for the first time, and while my kids thought they were ok, I wasn't too crazy about them. They just didn't have the right texture, so I kept looking for a better recipe. Recently I saw this recipe for peanut butter banana chocolate chip mini-loaves over at one of my favorite recipe blogs, Lauren's Latest, and wanted to give them a try as muffins. I whipped up a batch of these and everyone in our house LOVED them. I also made some of them in my heart-shaped pan for breakfast on Valentine's Day. When I made them again, I doubled the recipe (which is that you'll find below) so that it yields 24 muffins at a time.
I took some of these muffins to a celiac friend that teaches at my son's school and she RAVED about how they were the best muffins she's had. They have just the right texture, the perfect moist crumb you want in a muffin. This isn't dry at all. The chocolate chips put these over the top and makes it feel almost like eating a dessert!
I love having muffins in the freezer for pulling out for a delicious breakfast or a easy lunch. After baking, let them cool to room temperature, then put them in a Ziploc freezer bag. When you want to enjoy them, just pull out a couple and warm them up in your microwave. On hurried mornings or when I'm out of bread for sandwiches, I'll usually pull out two muffins for each of my boys, warm them a bit in the microwave, then put in their lunchbox along with fruit, some nuts or a cheese stick for a super easy lunch. I love that the peanut butter in these adds some protein too.
If you'd like to make these a bit healthier, you can definitely cut back or eliminate the chocolate chips, which I do sometimes. You can also easily adapt these to be dairy-free by using your favorite dairy-free alternative to butter, like coconut oil, and omit the chocolate chips or use dairy-free chocolate chips.
Watch for extra-ripe bananas next time you are at the store so you can make a batch of these. You'll love them!
- 2 cups (8.5 oz) quality gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used Creamy Natural Jif, feel free to use chunky)
- 2 eggs
- 4 very ripe bananas, mashed (=1-1/2 cups)
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet; milk chocolate might be good as well)
- Preheat oven to 325°. Line muffin pan with paper muffin liners or spray well with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk all dry ingredients together until combined - flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and sugars.
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, peanut butter, eggs, mashed ripe bananas and vanilla extract.
- Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredient mixture. Stir until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop or about 1/3 cup measure to fill muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake at 325° for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center of a muffin. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then remove to cooling racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Store at room temperature, or place in Ziploc freezer bag to store in freezer.
**If using a gluten-free flour that has xanthan gum already in it, then omit the xanthan gum listed in this recipe.
To make dairy-free, use your favorite dairy-free alternative in place of the butter and use dairy-free chocolate chips. You can easily adapt these to mini muffins, jumbo muffins or mini loaves, just adjust the baking time. As always, be sure to double-check all of your ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free.

The crazy quotes you missed this week!
While on "Kris," Kanye West commented on how parenting has changed his perspective on the Taylor Swift-VMA-microphone-grab: "The last thing I would want to happen to my daughter is some crazy drunk black guy in a leather shirt to come up and cut her off at an awards show. That's the last thing I'd want."
"Initially, the family thought she should do a big, glam body reveal first," explains a Kardashian insider. "Then they saw the reaction Kate Middleton got when she stepped out after having a baby—she looked beautiful but not perfect. So that's what they wanted for Kim. The first time she stepped out, they wanted her to look like a mom and be relatable. She really wants America to like her." — a source told InTouch on Kim Kardashian's post-baby body.
Robert Pattinson on whoever invented the "RPatz" nickname in Germany's Interview: "I'd like to strangle the guy who came up with it!"
"Kate…you're a MILF." – Snooki making the most regal of comments to Kate Middleton.
