The hosts were friendly and available to assist as needed, but without "hovering." These were excellent accomodations, with splendid decorator touches throughout the home, and a very well stocked gourmet kitchen. The lovely back yard is private, shaded, and lush with landscaping and ponds. We began and ended each day dining in the back yard, enjoying the cool ocean breezes.
The house and garden were wonderful: spotless, well-appointed and tastefully and thoughtfully decorated. The garden, in particular, is one you will not forget, with varied and beautiful plantings, a lovely patio with ample seating, and a charming shady nook where one can read or simply enjoy the scenery and fragrances. Finally, Nanci and Rick were gracious and immediately responsive to questions. I would recommend this house to anyone.
Beautiful, beautiful home inside and out. Felt comfortable, luxurious and secluded - even in the middle of a neighborhood. The kitchen has everything that you could want. Overall we had a wonderful experience staying there and highly recommend it.
Great and spacious house, very well decorated in a quite neighborhood.
The hot tub is a delight as well as the backyard. Good communication with Nanci & Rick, I do recommend this place :)
Just awesome!
What a wonderfull house do experience absolutely relaxing vacation.
Near to beaches. And Ventura is perfectly placed between Santa Barbara and LA.
This house was absolutely wonderful - everything was perfect. It was very clean and the amenities were spot on per the descriptions. Nanci was so kind throughout the whole process - very responsive on text message and thoughtful to give us hiking information that I requested.
She was able to verify everything for us (re: nail salong, local restaurant) & graciously was on call just in case we need anything. She even left us a bag of popcorn for us to enjoy! We ate dinner in the backyard with some candles and it was ideal the group I went with. The Master bathroom was absolutely stunning - what a dream shower and bath tub. All the girls as working professionals, so we wished that there was internet, so we could troubleshoot work items, but we survived without it. Parking on the street was easy. Kitchen was fully stocked (dishwasher a plus!). I would definitely rent this home again if I were in the Ventura area.

Author's Note (Updated 2/19/11):
I will not be updating The Five Different Lovers: Prelude (non fan-fiction version) on fictionpress because I have made new revisions. I will not be posting the revised chapters on fictionpress because I have started to post them on textnovel.com. If you're interested in knowing more about the story, then please visit :

Author's Note (Updated 08/20/11)
I've recently started a dark, suspense story called Bloodline. Updates will be sporadic as I am still working on my other stories. I have finished revising Rebirth, but am still working on The Five Different Lovers: Prelude. All of the revised chapters can be found on my blog; the links are provided below. I won't be uploading the edited chapters onto fictionpress to simplify things.
I'm not sure whether or not I will be posting the sequel to Rebirth and the sequel to TFDL on fictionpress. I will write a message about that on my blog once I have finished the revisions. Finally, I am taking down the old chapters of Rebirth on fictionpress because the story has been revised. I will be uploading a basic synopsis to replace the one I have now.
Here's the link to the revised version of Rebirth:

Piles of trash dot the New Mexico landscape. In San Juan County, only 6% of land is privately owned, leading to a lot of open space that is targeted by dumpers.
"Illegal dumping is a bad deal," Said Kim Carpenter, CEO of San Juan County.
Mattresses, couches, cans and bottles…there is no limit to the things people will dump illegally.
Monday, using big machinery, San Juan County crews started to tackle the trash in one spot just south of Farmington.
"We have to remediate the problems that we have had to avoid a buildup that becomes even more expensive," Carpenter said.
The site today is a 100+ yard long ravine, about 25 feet deep, with one end that has been filled by trash.
Carpenter says it's important for people to call right away anytime they see something like this.
"We pull inmates out of the jail to clean up a good portion of it." he said.
Monday, the county received help from inmates at the San Juan County Detention Center.
"It is a big deal, and a priority to keep our county as clean and beautiful as possible."
One of the few families living in the area told KOB the dumping has been going for far too long and they are glad to see it cleaned up.
"Instead of looking at it, clean it up. Let's get it cleaned up," said Carpenter.

American Cancer Society Now Scheduling Appointments for Cancer Prevention Study Enrollment to Take Place at Presence Saint Francis Hospital on Thursday, June 20
Evanston, Illinois (Appril 19, 2013 ) – Presence Saint Franncis Hospital will serve as an enrollment site for the American Cancer Society's new research study, CPS-3, on Thursday, June 20. Appointments will be scheduled in advance only.
CPS-3 is short for Cancer Prevention Study--3, as this is the third major cancer prevention study that the American Cancer Society (ACS) has offered. By joining CPS-3, participants can help researchers better understand how lifestyle, genetics and the environment affect cancer and how to better prevent the disease. The ACS's goal is to enroll 300,0000 people in this study by yearend, with 1,000 enrollees from Chicago's northern suburbs.
The study is open to anyone who is age 30 to 65, who has never been diagnosed with cancer and who is willing to make a long-term commitment to the study, which involves completing periodic follow-up surveys at home for the next 20-30 years.
Enrollment involves two steps. Potential participants can visit the study's web site and schedule an enrollment time. Upon arrival at their appointment, participants will complete a brief survey, have their waist measurement taken and will have a small blood sample taken by a certified, trained phlebotomist . The appointment will take 20-30 minutes.
All study information is kept confidential and is not shared with the hospital, employers or physicians.
Those interested in more information about the study can contact Jennifer Briggs at the American Cancer Society at 847 317-0209.

Home for birds Tower is the next best thing to a chimney
An upcoming Earth Day event in Indianapolis is seeking volunteers to help build a special tower intended to provide housing for chimney swifts.
The native birds once found plenty of nesting sites in the chimneys of Indiana homes. But new homes and most older ones now have caps over their chimneys to prevent animals from entering, cutting the birds' numbers.
To combat the chimney swifts' continuing decline, the Amos Butler Audubon Society and Indianapolis' Jewish Community Center will build a special tower April 22 that's designed to attract nesting pairs of swifts.
The public is invited to help build the tower on the grounds of the center during the group's Earth Day celebration.

Ok, so pretend for a minute you're in a cab, cruising down the LA 405 freeway. As if you don't have enough to worry about being extraordinarily late for your flight, your anxiety level rises as your cab driver bobs through traffic as unpredictably as a feather cutting through a swirling wind. As he's honking into oncoming traffic, illegally passing other vehicles and barely missing pedestrians on the side of the road… All I can think about is: "Man I hope I catch my 5am flight or I'll miss the most important client meeting of my life." "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to stay out for 'one more' last night." Long story short, yes, I made the flight… And no, I won't ever do that again. I'm not sure if it's the trying new things or the idea of getting really good at something creative that's more exciting, but I think it was my passion for both that led me to become a Video Production Manager. I had some false starts in the beginning of my career… but once things click, they click. Before you know it, you're living life with confidence knowing that you have discovered a true passion that will help you flourish along your chosen path. Not to say that my job doesn't keep me on my toes, but I do make time for relaxing with friends. A couple of drinks, lots of joking around and some good music (ask me about it) will loosen me up for the weekend (though I don't need alcohol to have fun). Exploring the city on a saturday afternoon, spending time with family, going on a spontaneous mini-adventure or rounding up some friends for a night out are my ideal ways to unwind and enjoy my free time. If you can't hold onto a conversation about more than what the vampire guy and the boring girl from twilight did last summer, we're not the best match. On the other hand, if you know what you want, and aren't afraid of having a ton of fun while going after it, then lets talk!

Florida Claims Its First National Championship With a 6-3 Victory over Alabama
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Florida (55-12) broke an early deadlock with a four-run fourth on the way to claiming the UF program's first Women's College World Series title by defeating Alabama on Tuesday at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla., 6-3.
Delanie Gourley (15-1) earned the win for UF by tossing two innings of hitless relief with a walk and two strikeouts, while NFCA All-American Hannah Rogers garnered her second save of 2014 by allowing one earned run on two hits over two frames. Lauren Haeger started the match-up for the Gators, permitting two earned tallies on five hits with one K over three innings. Traina suffered the defeat for Alabama, dropping to 26-5 after giving up five earned runs on six hits with one walk in just 1.1 innings.
For Florida, center fielder Kirsti Merritt led the way by going 1-for-4 with a three-run HR. Second baseman Kelsey Stewart was 2-for-4 with two tallies and an RBI, while third baseman Stephanie Tofft went 1-for-3 with a solo HR. Center fielder Haylie McCleney (2-for-3, two runs) and second baseman Kaila Hunt (2-for-4, HR, two RBIs) each registered two of Alabama's seven total hits.
Box Score | Florida Quotes | Alabama Quotes | Notes
"First of all, I just want to congratulate Alabama and their senior class on obviously a wonderful season and wonderful career for some," Florida head coach Tim Walton said. "This is kind of a surreal moment for me right now sitting up here with Hannah and all the other kids that bought into it this year. Did a really good job. We had a really good off‑season, felt really good and we just felt good about our team. We set a goal and most teams set goals to win every series or win the SEC or do some things, and this team actually set a goal to win a national championship. It's the first one we've ever talked about in my coaching. In 2009, talked about the ability to come out and be No. 1 with a target on our back, but this team felt like we had the parts and the pieces to do it. So very proud. Kinda gutsy and kinda bold, but just give them the credit. I think they did a great job of doing their part and taking the responsibility to be a good teammate, a good friend and a good player. But I want to give a hats off to all our players and staff."
Alabama's offense came out ready to make an immediate statement against Haeger during the top of the first as McCleney and left fielder Kallie Case christened the contest with consecutive singles. The duo tagged up on a fly ball to right by Hunt, with the speedster McCleney barely sliding in safely on a strong throw to third by Florida's Bailey Castro. That set the stage for an RBI single to shallow center off the bat of right fielder Jadyn Spencer as the Crimson Tide nabbed a quick 1-0 lead. Haeger rebounded from the rough start, however, to strikeout Molly Fichtner looking and induce a Traina groundout to short to limit the damage to just a single tally.
UA's lead lasted only minutes as Tofft drove a first-inning shot the other way to left that just cleared the wall for a two-out, game-tying solo HR. Bidding for more, Florida put a pair aboard via a Haeger single, that ricocheted off Traina, and a walk, but left fielder Briana Little grounded out harmlessly to short to leave the duo stranded.
Florida blew the game open with one out in the bottom of the second. Consecutive singles from catcher Aubree Munro, first baseman Taylor Schwarz and Stewart plated UF's second tally. Merritt promptly stepped to the dish and knocked Traina from the contest by blasting a three-run HR to left as the Gators took a commanding 5-1 advantage.
Hunt managed to get one back for the Crimson Tide during the top of the third as the senior drove a two-out solo HR to left that cut the UA deficit to 5-2.
Traina got the top of the fourth off to a solid start at the plate for Alabama by driving a leadoff base knock to right center. In an interesting move, the decision was made to lift Haeger from the circle and summon freshman Gourley into the circle facing her first career WCWS action. She was greeted rudely by a long drive to left from designated player Marisa Runyon that was dropped for UF's fourth error of the contest. With runners stationed at second and third and still no one out, the Gator hurler responded to the pressure by managing to get first baseman Leona Lafaele to foul out to first and then striking out third baseman Peyton Grantham for two vital outs. She walked the dangerous McCleney to load the bases and Case battled to 1-2 against Gourley before hitting a bouncer into the hole between first and second. Stewart raced over and despite bobbling the ball briefly, managed to retire Case on an inning-ending force out as 'Bama let a massive opportunity get away.
After Florida left a pair stranded in the top of the fifth, Gourley firmly settled into the contest by retiring Alabama's No. 3, 4 & 5 hitters in order in the bottom half.
Rogers entered the circle starting the sixth inning, requiring just six outs to secure the Gator program its first national title. She was all business from the very start, retiring Traina, Runyon and Lafaele in order on two groundouts and a fly out.
A bunt single by Stewart in the bottom of the sixth was cashed in for a big Florida insurance run as a two-out fielding miscue on a sharp shot to first by Tofft plated UF's sixth tally. Pinch hitter Justine McLean followed immediately with a single to center, but Alabama's McCleney gunned down Tofft on a strong toss to the plate to end the scoring rally.
Down to one final chance to extend 'Bama's season, pinch hitter Andrea Hawkins tried to get a UA threat started by opening the seventh with a shot to left center. Looking like the ball would drop in safely, Florida's Merritt raced out of nowhere to make a tremendous diving catch for a "web gem" of a first out. McCleney followed by legging out a triple into the right center field gap as the Crimson Tide refused to go quietly. With two down, Hunt gave the Tide hope with an RBI single to right, but a Spencer bouncer back to the circle was handled by Rogers to finish off Florida's 6-3 national title victory.

Will Self reports from the front line of the year in Absurdistan [1]
by Will Self [2] Published
It's been a funny old year here in Absurdistan, what with all the livestock dropping dead with no-food-in-their-mouth disease. Anyone would think we actually depend on these beasts for our livelihood, the way people moaned on and on about it. I say: "Listen, it's just Gates's way of telling us he wants a monster shish kebab." But other people are so touchy about Gates - our leaders, for example. The Tonyban's solution to NFTMD was pretty typical: kill all the livestock whether or not they had it. I don't know, it's behaviour like that which ended up making the Tonyban so unpopular. When these sharp-black-suited warriors swept into Londbul with their lean good looks and impassioned rhetoric, we all thought: here's something different, not just another gang of mercenary poodles in hock to a foreigner. How wrong we were.
We should've spotted how bad things had got when they kept with the Torijhadim's policy of hiving off all of the train network into separate ethnic companies. Uzbekirail, Network Pashtun South East, Tajiconnex. It was bewildering - and it made no sense. Obviously, if the tribesmen who own the track, the tribesmen who maintain it, and the other tribesmen who run the trains, all speak a different language, you're not going to get anything to work properly. As it is, the firefights, the looting, the atrocities have all gone on just as they always did. The problem is the same one that we have in the schools and the hospitals. No investment. It was all very well the Tonyban pointing out that we were one of the poorest countries in the world, but if that was the case, why were so many foreign "investors" desperate to come here?
Foreign investors such as Bin Murdoch and Al Gap and Abdullah Motorola, crazed zealots who won't rest for a second until they see 500 branches of Starbucks up and running in downtown Londbul, people who regarded the sacred beliefs of all other peoples merely as a colourful backdrop for soft drink advertisements. And yet the Tonyban gave a haven to these fanatics! The Tonyban harkened to everything they said as if it were the word of Gates! In their name, the Tonyban compelled the entire population to listen to appalling muzak and watch unreality television - as if that would make things get any better. And then there was the way they treated women, denying them any voice in society except in the High Court. Forcing them to parade up and down in uncomfortable thongas. Using them shamelessly as lobby fodder. It had to be stopped.
Under the Tonyban, the population was kept at an unwilling pitch of zealotry, men, women and even children, praying all day to Gates, ceaselessly logging on and logging off, logging on and logging off. It became not uncommon to see the people riffling the keys of their PowerBooks on trains, in planes, in the street, everywhere. There seemed no way for the people to understand their world any more, except by looking through the Windows of Gates. It was a bizarre aspect of this fundamentalism that the people came to believe that there could be nothing in the world that had not already been foreseen by Gates. No art, no science, no philosophy, no beauty, no truth.
Naturally, the Tonyban defended their right to power by appealing to the age-old Absurdistan practice of extreme violence. But what did this amount to in reality? Even when the people were given the opportunity to assert themselves, they were no longer capable. The Tonyban remained in power because of the people's war-weary inertia. And so they maintained their cack-handed grip on events. Would Absurdistan join the new unified currency of the region or not? Some said the smacko would mean prosperity for all, that a single price for heroin throughout the countries of Oceania would mean a general rise in oblivion. But others decried the smacko, saying it would be Absurdistan's ruination. One thing was agreed on by all, that this once proud nation was willing itself into decline.
Then the Tonyban went too far. It allowed the foreign investors to unleash their corporate terror on the world in an unrestrained fashion. Who can say whether the suicide merchandisers acted directly under the orders of Bin Murdoch et al, or if they were simply following their own insane drive to uphold the word of the Profit? But whatever the truth, the results have been devastating. If we thought things were bad under the Tonyban, how much worse are they now that all of Absurdistan has been plunged into a murderous consensus?
Ever since the dreaded dumb bombs and conscience cutters began to fall, a sinister level of agreement has paralysed the political life of this formerly healthy and divided land. True, the Tonyban itself has been cornered and beaten back, but what does this really mean? In truth, the dumb bombs have done their work, surgically removing what little sense of humility, honesty or probity remained in the minds of either rulers or ruled. And the conscience cutters have wreaked their dreadful, indiscriminate damage, vaporising the atmosphere of debate so all that remains is the stark black and white of a landscape where every trace of doubt - whether individual or collective - has been irradiated.
And all of this in the holy month of Gorgeitdown, when the people pay through their noses to Gates. The holy month of Gorgeitdown, when from dawn to dusk the consumers enter the temples of commerce to kneel down before the jingling tills. The holy month of Gorgeitdown, when there is no duty more incumbent upon all than the need for unrestrained spending so that the FT index might rise.
Some Ben & Jerrymiahs say we have brought this upon ourselves. That if we hadn't listened to the Tonyban in the first place we wouldn't now be feeling so very bad. But I say fie on these false profits! These useless old believers, with their obsolete religion of peace, love and understanding. When did any of these things serve to switch on a 32-inch, flat-screen television for our Gates? Do not these heretics and blasphemers understand that ours is but a tiny, embattled nation surrounded by a whole world of enemies? Do they not see that, without the wrath of Gates, we are as naught. And not just one naught - but several noughts. Without our Gates, we honestly cannot know where our next bottle of balsamic vinegar is coming from, so that we may anoint our salad of lamb's lettuce, fennel, radicchio and rocket. For yea! If you are not truly doolally about herbs, now, in the holy month of Gorgeitdown, 2001, it is time that you quit Absurdistan for ever.

NBA battle over NBA "Moneyball" stats mirrors regular life
Sep 27, 2011, 4:00 PM EDT
We watched it play out in baseball around the time "Moneyball" the book came out. There were the old-school guys and Joe Morgan saying baseball can't be defined by statistics and the new-school guys like Billy Beane and Theo Epstein winning that way.
Now the movie "Moneyball" is out and it is sparking the same debate in the NBA, where more advanced statistics are becoming part of the debate about players.
Henry Abbott over at TrueHoop saw the film — he would never miss the opening weekend of a Brad Pitt movie — and then talked to stats guys with a few NBA teams. Their reaction was that some of the scenes in the movie where stat guys are have a tough time getting attention is pretty much spot on. Abbott relates this story from a one guy working in the NBA.
I was asked to get involved in a negotiation with a certain player. I did a little homework on the guy, and then went back into the GM's office, and asked how we should handle the guy's injury history, specifically a torn ACL that had kept him out of the league for a year-and-a-half.
"He tore his ACL?" asked the GM, sounding surprised. "Where'd you learn that?"
I told him I had just googled the guy. This was in the last couple of years.
He said "ok, you're going to have to show me how to use this google thing."
The thing is, the stats can be an effective tool to use along with traditional scouting. That is what happens in Dallas, and that worked out pretty well for them (they love to use a variety of stats, particularly looking at how combinations of players work together). The Celtics and Thunder are stats-heavy teams that are doing well. There are others.
But there is plenty of resistance. Tons of it. Because you can't define all the intangibles of the NBA into statistics, right? We've done just fine without stats like this in the past.
All the arguments struck Dwight Jaynes of CSNNW.com as familiar. Not just from baseball or sports, but from life.
I'm not alarmed when I see that battle between old school and new school because I've seen it play out my entire lifetime. I'm old enough to remember how offended people where when I got one of those early phone answering machines — the ones with the little tape recorders in them.
"I'm not going to speak to a recording," someone in my family said. "That's an insult."
Computers? Remember when people hated them? And I mean really HATED them. Some still do, I guess. But I don't know what I'd do without them. Same for cell phones. My goodness, people were downright offended that others felt they needed them.
Folks, advanced stats in the NBA are here to stay, and that's a good thing. It's not the answer to every question, but it can help. It's a tool. In the end, what really matters is how well you know how to use the tools you have.
- cosanostra71 - Sep 27, 2011 at 8:24 PM
I have no problem with using advanced stats, but too many people use them without understanding they need to be put into context. Too many people (cough John Hollinger cough) think you can use advanced stats and advanced stats alone to judge a player's worth. I think that they can be used as a way to back up claims based on visual observations. Except for PER. PER is useless.

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."
by Derek Rose
New York Daily News
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
Mar 30, 2006:
Lost in last week's hubbub over the media breakthroughs for 9/11 truth was the latest twist in the Sibel Edmonds saga. The FBI whistleblower last Thursday filed a court motion demanding that the federal judge hearing her First Amendment case be recused for deliberately hiding his financial background.
The judge, Reggie Walton, is also currently hearing the perjury case involving I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, former chief of staff to Dick Cheney, on allegations that Libby leaked the name of a CIA operative to the media. Edmonds is seeking to show Judge Walton is in violation of federal law (The Ethics in Government Act) because of his refusal to meet financial disclosure provisions.
A few months after September 11th, the FBI hired Edmonds as a translator for Farsi and Turkish. She says she discovered that documents already translated (and suppressed) prior to 9/11 had contained details of a pending attack on the US with airplanes. In addition, one of her colleagues attempted to recruit her as a spy for a Turkish lobbying group. When she spoke out about these experiences – and other finds suggesting corruption, money laundering and drug deals at the top levels of the US government – she was fired. Attorney General John Ashcroft slapped Edmonds with a gag order under the seldom-used State Secrets Act. In the most bizarre and Orwellian twist, Ashcroft "retroactively classified" many of the statements Edmonds had already made. This included information published in the press prior to the gag… Continue reading
What is striking about agent Samit's account, like the account of his office-mate Coleen Rowley, is the assumption of "criminal negligence" on the part of FBI headquarters, and RFU head David Frasca and Michael Maltbie in particular. Best I can see, criminal complicity has not been ruled out whatsoever.
I'm grateful for the testimony of Mr. Samit, and for Rowley's whistleblowing, but how exactly can either know for sure that the RFU's obstructionism was the result of careerism or 'criminal incompetence' rather than something else? I don't claim to know the reasons, but Samit and Rowley certainly cannot know for sure, either.
Remember, there is evidence that Frasca intentionally and without good cause (and thus not negligently) obstructed the flow of information up the FBI's chain of command. You may recall the 'Time' magazine story early in 2002 which detailed agent Rowley's charges. The story's authors claimed that Ken Williams' infamous "Phoenix Memo" was received by Frasca a couple of months in advance of 9/11:
… Continue reading
Rowley's letter lays out the case that the FBI made fateful miscalculations by failing to see a possible connection between the Minneapolis investigation of flight student Moussaoui and the hunch of Phoenix agent Kenneth Williams — posited in a report to HQ two months earlier — that al-Qaeda operatives were attending U.S.
The 9/11 Commission made "dramatic changes" to its final report to omit information about the role of Pakistan, according to The Friday Times, a Pakistani weekly. After learning that the report would contain damaging revelations, the Pakistani government dispatched lobbyists to Washington to influence the 9/11 Commission, and may have even paid bribes to Commission members or their staff, the weekly says, citing an official at the Pakistani Foreign Office. "The disclosure sheds doubt on the integrity and honesty of the members of the 9/11 Inquiry Commission and above all on the authenticity of the information in their final report," according to one source cited by the weekly.
The story was picked up yesterday by The Telegraph of Calcutta, India and is now shooting around the blogosphere. We cannot vouch for its veracity, but we can guess at the sort of information that both the US and the Pakistani government might have wanted to omit from The 9/11 Commission Report:
For example, prior to Sept. 11 the chief of the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI allegedly approved a $100,000 wire transfer to a certain Mohamed Atta. Yet the same ISI chief, Mahmud Ahmed, was in Washington for a working visit to his counterparts in the US government for more than a week prior to Sept. 11. On the morning of 9/11 itself, he was having breakfast at the Capitol with the future congressional investigators of the September 11th events. These alleged investigators, Porter Goss and Bob Graham, somehow failed… Continue reading
Prisonplanet | January 19 2006
Last Tuesday nationally syndicated radio host Alex Jones was joined on air by FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds for an in depth interview.
Edmonds was hired shortly after Sept. 11 to translate intelligence gathered over the previous year related to the 9/11 attacks. She says the FBI had information that an attack using airplanes was being planned before Sept. 11 and calls Condoleezza Rice's claim the White House had no specific information on a domestic threat or one involving planes "an outrageous lie."
Although Edmonds is officially barred from revealing the specifics of what she found out, she has revealed that she was hired to find and cover up the prior knowledge intercepts. She refused to go along with the… Continue reading

A CounterPunch Special Report
9/11: Missing Black Boxes in World Trade Center Attacks Found by Firefighters, Analyzed by NTSB, Concealed by FBI
One of the more puzzling mysteries of 9-11 is what ever happened to the flight recorders of the two planes that hit the World Trade Center towers. Now it appears that they may not be missing at all.
Counterpunch has learned that the FBI has them.
Flight recorders (commonly known as black boxes, though these days they are generally bright orange) are required on all passenger planes. There are always two-a flight data recorder that keeps track of a plane's speed, altitude, course and maneuvers, and a cockpit voice recorder which keeps a continuous record of the last 30 minutes of conversation inside a plane's cockpit. These devices are constructed to be extremely durable, and are installed in a plane's tail section, where they are least likely suffer damaged on impact. They are designed to withstand up to 30 minutes of 1800-degree heat (more than they would have faced in the twin towers crashes), and to survive a crash at full speed into the ground.
All four of the devices were recovered from the two planes that hit the Pentagon and that crashed in rural Pennsylvania. In the case of American Airlines Flight 77, which hit the Pentagon, the FBI reports that the flight data recorder survived and had recoverable information, but the voice recorder was allegedly too damaged to provide any record. In the case of United Airlines Flight 93, which hit the ground at 500 mph in Pennsylvania, the situation was reversed: the voice recorder survived but the flight data box was allegedly damaged beyond recovery.…Continue reading

Recently, President Bush has admitted to carrying out surveillance on U.S. citizens in the interest of national security. He unabashedly admits to doing it. He offers no apologies. With his bellicose swagger, he once again uses 9/11 as his justification for breaking our constitutional laws. The President's justification of 9/11 to carry out such surveillance begs a closer examination.
President Bush should be stopped in his tracks with regard to his use of 9/11 scare tactics to circumvent constitutional laws that are meant to protect U.S. citizens. His justification for doing so — the inability to conduct surveillance on the 9/11 hijackers — is a red herring. History will bear out the truth — our intelligence agencies held a treasure trove of intelligence on the 9/11 hijackers, intelligence that was gathered through their initially unencumbered surveillance. President Bush should busy himself by investigating why that information was then stymied and not capitalized upon to stop the 9/11 attacks.
MOUSSAOUI, FISA, and FBI SURVEILLANCE — MISUNDERSTANDING #1:
When it comes to the FBI and Zaccarias Moussaoui, one must understand that the FBI met all evidentiary standards to both apply for and be granted a FISA warrant. The information the FBI had to support their FISA request was two files on Moussaoui that were given to the FBI by the French and British intelligence services. Inexplicably, FBI lawyers and supervisors at FBI HQ "misunderstood" the evidentiary standards needed to apply for and receive a FISA… Continue reading
Good morning, class… today we're going to discuss the events of 9/11. Please take out your copies of "The Terror Timeline," and turn to page 560.
You'll see at the bottom half of the page, an entry entitled, "May 2004: Previously Public Information About FBI Whistleblower Is Now Classified."
I'm going to read it out loud for everyone to hear…
"The Justice Department retroactively classifies information it gave to Congress in 2002 regarding FBI translator Sibel Edmonds. Senator Charles Grassley (R) says, "What the FBI is up to here is ludicrous. To classify something that's already been out in the public domain, what do you accomplish? … This is about as close to a gag order as you can get." The New York Times reports that some of the information discussed is "so potentially damaging if released publicly" that it has to be classified. Topics like what languages Edmonds translated, what types of cases she handled, and where she worked is now classified, even though much of this has been widely reported on shows like CBS's 60 Minutes. [NEW YORK TIMES, 5/20/04] In late 2002, the Justice Department invoked the rarely used "state secrets privilege" to limit what she could say. [Salon, 3/26/04]"
Ok… just to clarify what took place here, someone who worked for the FBI found out some information pertaining to 9/11 that was "damaging" in nature. She then tried to make that information public by what's known as "whistleblowing." For those of you… Continue reading
Thanks to www.911busters.com, we now have new footage of the Tucker Carlson/Prof. Steven E. Jones interview. This new version points out the tactics used by Tucker to discredit Prof. Jones. It also includes the footage that Tucker refused to show. The collapse of WTC7, NASA's findings regarding the heat signatures left in the foot of the buildings, and a few other surprises.
The Complete 9/11 Timeline hosted by The Center for Cooperative Research recently published a revised set of entries on the military exercises of September 11 , providing a goldmine of well-sourced information. Compiled by Paul Thompson, the 9/11 Timeline long ago became the leading resource of mainstream news reports about September 11. Available in book form as The Terror Timeline (2004), it continues to evolve online.
The latest material for the first time casts light on what may have been the day's master wargame: Global Guardian, run out of Offutt Air Force Base by the US Strategic Command (Stratcom) under Admiral Richard Mies ( official bio ). He has since retired and taken up a gig as the CEO of Hicks & Associates, a "strategic consultant" to the federal government dealing in "military transformation."
Our New York correspondent, Nicholas Levis, has written a review.
UPDATE: Filmed in January 2000, and aired on 3/4/2001, the makers of "The Lone Gunmen" show that the idea of crashing planes into buildings isn't anything new. As a matter of fact, their representation is eerily familiar given what we know today about the Wargames taking place on September 11th, 2001. (The Lone Gunmen Clip: Click Here )
Aug. 2005:
As the day dawns over the East Coast on September 11th, 2001, the US Strategic Command headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska is on full alert, busily dispatching warplanes around North America in a rehearsal for Armageddon.
Stratcom directs the US nuclear arsenal. A number of interrelated air-defense wargames are underway around the country, under the overall umbrella of Global Guardian.…Continue reading

The ongoing coverup concerning the secret Able Danger operation provides further evidence that the "war on terror" is a farce.
There was nothing in outward appearance to draw attention to the four-bedroom apartment at 54 Marienstrasse. Nonetheless, the attention of the intelligence services of Germany, the U.S., Israel, and other Middle Eastern and European countries had been drawn to the nondescript flat in Hamburg, Germany, as early as 1998. That was when Mohammed Atta signed the lease and he and Ramzi bin al Shibh moved in. Soon thereafter, it was identified by intelligence agencies as a target of interest. It became known as the hub of al-Qaeda's "Hamburg Cell."
Over the next two and a half years, dozens of al-Qaeda operatives, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the reputed 9/11 "mastermind," passed through the 54 Marienstrasse apartment. Twenty-nine al-Qaeda recruits from the Middle East or Northern Africa listed it as their registered address. Mohammed Atta would later be labeled, after the fact, as the "ringleader" of the 9/11 terrorists who hijacked four jetliners to use as missiles against targets in New York City and Washington, D.C. Atta is believed to have been the suicide pilot who flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the north tower of the World Trade Center. His Hamburg roommate, Ramzi bin al Shibh, captured in Pakistan in 2002, has been described by U.S. officials as the al-Qaeda "coordinator and paymaster" for 9/11. In the months leading up to the terrorist attacks of… Continue reading

The Big Wedding: 9/11, the Whistle-Blowers and the Cover-Up
by Sander Hicks
Vox Pop, 2005
180 pages, $14.00
Includes Index, Over 100 Footnotes, and Bibliography
The term "conspiracy theory," with the image it invokes of a cabal of black-hearted men who convene on a regular basis to consolidate their power, reduces alternate history to a cartoon. By using it to discredit, however, journalists only reveal how inadequate their inability to untangle webs the powerful weave makes them feel.
One who's undaunted by the degree of difficulty is Sander Hicks, who endeavors to shed new light on events leading up to 9/11 mostly through meetings with, if not remarkable men, remarkable maniacs. In fact, his book, The Big Wedding, named after Al Qaeda code for 9/11, could just as easily be called "My Adventures Covering the Terror Beat."
The first portrait in his rogues' gallery is Randy Glass, an informant for an ATF/FBI terrorist sting. Pre-9/11, he dined out in Manhattan with a Pakistani arms dealer, who, gesturing toward the World Trade Center, exclaimed, "Those towers are coming down."
"The 9/11 Commission Report," Hicks concludes, "has topped the Warren Report…as the greatest cover-up of all time."
A State Department official told Glass they were aware of bin Laden's plans. But to keep Pakistani President Musharraf and his nuclear arsenal in their corner, they were banking on his guarantee that he could stop the attack. After all, as Hicks maintains, where Al Qaeda ends,… Continue reading
9/11 Commission Report – one year later… By Gregor Holland 911truthmovement.org
One year after the release of the 9/11 Commission Report, serious questions that were raised before and during the Commission proceedings remain unanswered. For many, the Commission Report raised more questions than it answered. Not the least of these has been posed by honorable Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. McKinney recently questioned Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Myers "about the four war games that were taking place on September 11 and how they may have impaired our ability to respond to those attacks." McKinney got a partial answer a week later. In the first on-the-record acknowledgement that there were four war games underway on 9/11/01, Myers told her that all battle positions were manned because of the drills…
"..so it was an easy transition from an exercise into a real world situation. It actually enhanced the response."
This answer echoed one provided by General Ralph Eberhard during the final 9/11 Commission hearing. The question to Eberhard, posed by Commissioner Roemer, was coerced by hearing attendees who interrupted the hearing, forcing the issue by yelling "What about the war games?" The failure of air defenses to respond on that morning does not support the given answer by Myers and Eberhard.…Continue reading

It is nearly a year since the 9/11 Commission report was finished and the investigation of the events of 9/11 officially came to a close. But unofficially, many Americans have unanswered questions, and at least some of this hesitancy to close the book on 9/11 is because of the long-standing connection between the Bush Administration and the man who was the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, Dr. Philip Zelikow.
In a new book by Professor Emeritus David Ray Griffin of the Claremont School of Theology (The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, Olive Branch Press, 2005), the case is made that the staff of the 9/11 Commission acted as gatekeepers who followed the official explanation of events of 9/11, rather than acting as true independent investigators. Griffin gives detailed and abundant evidence that he feels shows Philip Zelikow and his staff did not thoroughly investigate information that was contrary to what the Bush Administration had already accepted as the facts of 9/11.
Last fall I had a conversation with Zelikow, which I feel supports the ideas and evidence of Professor Griffin's book. But before I go into what… Continue reading

Washington — Former FBI contract translator and whistleblower Sibel Edmonds and her attorneys were ordered removed from the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse so that a three-judge U.S. Court of Appeals panel could discuss her case in private with Bush administration lawyers.
In an exclusive interview on Saturday, we asked Edmonds if she would deny that laundered drug money linked to the 911 attacks found its way into recent House, Senate and Presidential campaign war-chests, according to what she heard in intelligence intercepts she was asked to translate.
"I will not deny that statement; but I cannot comment further on it," she told TomFlocco.com, in a non-denial denial.
Edmonds is appealing the Bush administration's arcane use of "state secrets privilege," invoked last year to throw out her U.S. District Court lawsuit alleging retaliation for telling FBI superiors about shoddy wiretap translations and allegations that wiretap information was passed to the target of an FBI investigation. Given our multiple reports and numerous other interviews, Edmonds heard much more–but enough to warrant public suppression of criminal evidence by a wholly Republican appeals court panel?
"Tom, I'm telling you that not a single newspaper covered what happened to me on Thursday when I went into court," said the exasperated translator, adding, "[Judge David] Ginsberg kicked everyone out, cut off my lawyer's arguments and told us 'we have questions to ask the government's attorneys that you cannot… Continue reading

WASHINGTON, D.C.–The unsettling story of whistleblower Sibel Edmonds took another twist on Thursday, as the government continued its seemingly endless machinations to shut her up. The U.S. Court of Appeals here denied pleas to open the former FBI translator's First Amendment case to the public, a day after taking the extraordinary step of ordering a secret hearing.
Edmonds was hired after 9-11 to help the woefully staffed FBI's translation department with documents and wiretaps in such languages as Farsi and Turkish. She soon cried foul, saying the agency's was far from acceptable and perhaps even dangerous to national security. She was fired in 2002.
Ever since, the government has been trying to silence her, even classifying an interview she did with 60 Minutes. Oral arguments in her suit against the federal government were scheduled for this morning, but yesterday the clerk of the appeals court unexpectedly and suddenly announced the hearing would be closed. Only attorneys and Edmonds were allowed in.
No one thought the three-judge appeals court panel would be especially sympathetic to the Edmonds case. It consists of Douglas Ginsburg, who was once nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court by President Reagan. He withdrew after it was revealed he had smoked pot as a college student; he later joined the appeals court. Another member, David Sentelle, was chair of the three-judge panel that appointed Ken Starr to be the special prosecutor investigating Clinton. Karen LeCraft Henderson was appointed a federal judge during the Reagan period, then put on the appeals court by the elder President Bush.…Continue reading

Review quote
'Elegant, deeply philosophical - Kevin Hart is the best Australian poet of the past 25 years' - MARK STRAND. 'Kevin Hart is one of the finest poets writing in English today. I admire his erudition and his imagination, the way history, art, myth, literature and many things come together in his poetry. This book will be a feast for those who want poetry to be both metaphysics and song. An absolutely original and indispensable poet' - CHARLES SIMIC. 'With Young Rain Kevin Hart continues his transmemberment of songA" into a realm all his own in Australian poetry' - HAROLD BLOOM. 'Kevin Hart is one of the most sophisticated poets writing today, though the poems in Young Rain are disarmingly straightforward. They have an ease and lucidity that makes them seem almost casual, so that it is with a feeling of surprise that you realise that you have been drawn into a conversation of the utmost gravity concerning the private reaches of the self, darkness and death, as in the powerful sequences Night Music and Dark Retreat. There is nothing oppressive about them though, and the limpid rigor of the intellect they embody is leavened by the tenderness and sensuality of the poems in another sequence, Amo te Solo, which possess a lustiness that would seem at home in the Bible, but has almost disappeared from contemporary poetry' - JOHN KOETHE.

Hmmm...went to your website but there was only the home page? And the contact link - but no portfolio?
December 23rd, 2009 #3
I would say you definitely need some Fantasy and science fiction characters and concepts. Maybe some horror if you like that kind of thing. Right now everything is pretty normal, even the space stuff is not really futuristic at all.
Design and render some vehicles and weapons and some interior environments. Make up some characters in costumes for both fantasy and science fiction. I'd work to get your anatomy and figure drawing better so things are more believable.
You need a good sized portfolio to show you are consistant, if you do vehicles and characters make sure you show them in orthographic views.

Ah - yeah - the menu wasn't there earlier. My feedback would be to develop different portfolio sites for your design, illustration and concept art. Those are all three very different markets and potential customers/clients. I know you are still a student, so your portfolio naturally has a lot of class/assignemt work - that stands out very clearly to potential ADs when they are reviewing your work so keep that to a minimum.
Good to see that you are studying figure from life but you are still at a fairly rudimentary/beginning level - work as hard as you can on understanding the figure, form, light, gesture, etc. Then begin to translate that knowledge into more imaginary and fantastic characters as dpaint suggests.
Good luck!

I would recommend setting up separate websites for Design, Illustration and Concept stuff - or at least sub-domains that appear fairly separate. It seems like Design is your strong suit at this stage so I might forcus on that if you want work - otherwise you could leave that behind entirely and really focus on concept stuff. My honest advice is to work on your 3D stuff and try to land an entry level job in game production - then you can take advantage of what opportunities may arise to contribute concept stuff - if you keep working on it eventually you should transition into doing more concept and less production. That seems to be a fairly common path at least - some people of course can just hit the ground running as concept artists - but they tend to be the exception.

thank you i will work harder and come back here again and post more of my work. all the digital painting was all recently done this month, im on xmas break so i try to work double time lol
thanks again
December 24th, 2009 #12
Some of this may be a little harsh but its honest and giving an employer a bad impression is not what you want. First off remove anything that looks like student work or student assignments, I would probably remove the entire Illustration section. Your concept art section isn't as strong as the others either and most of it feels more like illustration then concept work. Your design and 3D work is much much stronger. Change your Home image to one of those, whatever is your best piece. Only show your very best work. Keep 6-12 in each section, you don't need more then that.
For future reference photograph your work so it isn't stamped with a date, and isn't blurry, that looks unprofessional. As for functionality the Home button doesn't work going from the videos page.
My favorites are the ferarri, the asian interior and the motorcycle.

Shockoe Slip is a district in the downtown area of Richmond, Virginia. The name "slip" referred to a narrow passageway leading from Main Street to where goods were loaded and unloaded from the former James River and Kanawha Canal. The rough boundaries of Shockoe Slip include 14th Street, Main Street, Canal Street and 12th Street.[3]
Architecturally, many of the buildings in Shockoe Slip were constructed during the rebuilding following the Evacuation Fire of 1865, especially in a commercial variant of the Italianate style. It is centered on a 1909 fountain, dedicated to "one who loved animals." [4] The buildings in the district, which historically housed a variety of offices, wholesale and retail establishments, are now primarily restaurants, shops, offices, and apartments.[3]
Shockoe Slip began developing in the late 18th century following the move of the state capital to Richmond, aided by the construction of Mayo's bridge across the James River (ultimately succeeded by the modern 14th Street Bridge), as well as the siting of key tobacco industry structures, such as the public warehouse, tobacco scales, and the Federal Customs House in or near the district.[3]
On the eve of the fall of Richmond to the Union Army in April 1865, evacuating Confederate forces were ordered to set fire to the city's tobacco warehouses. The fires spread, and completely destroyed Shockoe Slip and several other districts. The district was quickly rebuilt in the late 1860s, flourishing further in the 1870s, and forming much of its present historic building stock.[3]
The district began declining in the 1920s, as other areas of the city rose in prominence with the advent of the automobile. Numerous structures would be demolished and cleared, including (in the 1950s), the Tobacco Exchange, which had been at the heart of the district.[3]
Redevelopment: 1970s to present[edit]
Beginning in the 1960s and accelerating in the 1970s, Shockoe Slip was redeveloped as a commercial and entertainment district; the nightlife district came just after Richmond passed liquor-by-the-drink laws, and when the so-called fern bar became popular across the United States. The restoration came at the time of an increased interest in historic preservation around the time of the Bicentennial, with the district being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Early pioneer restaurants included The Tobacco Company, Stuffy's Going Bananas, Commercial Cafe and Sam Miller's, the last two being revived restaurant names from Richmond's 19th century.
One of the earliest and oldest of Richmond's artist-run galleries, was Artspace 1306 located at 1306 East Cary Street in Shockoe Slip. Artspace 1306 retained its original name when the gallery moved to North 18th Street in Shockoe Bottom. Only when Artspace 1306 moved to 6 East Broad Street did the gallery drop the original address from its name. The Broad Street location became the home of another 501 C-3 gallery, Art6 Gallery, when Artspace moved to Plant Zero in the Manchester area of the city.
Shockoe Slip also included some of the earliest rehabilitated downtown apartments; at the time of the restoration asphalt paving was removed to expose historic Belgian block streets.
Shockoe Slip continues to be a popular place to live and work. Residential development surrounding the James River continues with the influx of students and professionals and an increased interest in urban living.
