Elegant body lines with signature pillarless design.
Idling issue, engine oil leak and rust under rear wind screen are common.
This Car Will Definitely Go Up In Value Someday! — Last of the well built ones. This Mercedes really speaks of quality. It can go 0-60 in 6.9 seconds. If I had space and the money, i would definitely keep it. Now, it is sold to someone in NY.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Classic Benz
Fuel economy, cost of maintenance
Really Sexy, Powerful And Fast! — Expensive to fix and maintain, but built to outlast most other cars. Poor on gas, goes like a bat out of hell (!). Really sexy look, gets compliments all the time. Rides low, needs good winter tires for snow, but I've gone skiing no problems. Tons of room @ front, average @ back. Lots of neat options.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

performance, ride, and safety
never runs cool enough, monstrous maintenance bills
Outstanding Machine, But You Have To Pay To Play. — the only main issue i can take with this car is that it ran hotter than hell no matter how much coolant was in it or how cold the temperature was. too much engine, in too little engine bay, with too little cooling = cooked a $23K engine sitting in construction traffic. other than that i couldn't have asked for a better car to storm empty roads with.

Sharp looks, luxurious interior, gobs of power.
Terrible fuel economy
My Autobahn Bomber — It's an older model, but she still drive like new. It will burn rubber if you want, but it also drinks gas at the same time. It's black with gray leather, and it still looks sharp. It's not really my car, per se, it's my mom's sunday driver, but she'll probably be trading up in a few months. She's had this one forever, and is about ready for something a little bit newer (not to mention, with better fuel economy). But, despite everything else, its still a Mercedes-Benz, and as such, "Engineered like no other car in the world".

An extremely reliable car with tank like safety and feel. Excellent
17-22 MPG coupled with a high compression engine that can only drink
Mercedes Flagship Full Sized Luxury Sedan — From the Mercedes Benz 5.6 aluminum racing V8 to the power reclining rear seat, every thing about this car is truly remarkable. She may be 17 years old, but don't let that fool you. This car is very well equipped with hydronumatic self leveling suspension, all 4 seats are heated, power everything, sunnroof, and a beefy v8. Driving this car is an absolute joy. The ride is very smooth and controlled. Amazing agile from a car of its size. The interior is very quite and comfortable. The V8 is quiet and silky smooth until you drop the pedal. At your command drop the pedal and feel this beast roar to a rocketing take off. Built for autobahn cursing, 80 to 150 mph is where this car truly shines. You effortlessly watch the speedo rocket past 120 without a care in the world. 150 mph is just as relaxing an comfortable as 45mph.

Dropbox dramatically cuts pricing to compete, 1TB now just $9.99/month
Dropbox has today slashed its pricing and doubled the maximum storage space from 500GB to 1TB. Up until yesterday, you'd have been paying $500/year for 500GB; today you can pay just $120/year (or $99/year when paying annually) for a terabyte.

Google Music now features scan and match in the US
Similar to iTunes Match, Google has updated its Google Music service in the United States with its new scan match feature that previously was only available in Europe. The feature is definitely welcomed, as it scans a user's local library for songs and matches them in the cloud, doing away with any lengthy upload periods. Engadget reported that U.S. users who have already put their music library on to Google Music will begin seeing the process take place in the coming weeks, which means matched songs will be streamed at 320Kbps. Want to know the greatest thing about Google Music's scan and match? It's entirely free if you stay under 20,000 songs, unlike rival services. Read more
Samsung launches S-Pebble MP3 player and Scan and Match music service
Alongside the introduction of its new Samsung Galaxy S III, the company briefly talked about a music player accessory/companion product called the "S-Pebble." The device is a refresh of Samsung's old pebble MP3 player line, and it apparently has a 17-hour battery life and 4GB of built-in memory. However, it is not really an accessory for the Galaxy other than its pebble-blue and marble-white hyper glaze color schemes.
The S-Pebble will go nicely with Samsung's new Scan and Match feature baked into its Music Hub service offering over 17 million songs. We do not have all the details on the feature, but it certainly sounds a lot like Apple's iTunes Match service that matches your personal library of songs with songs stored in the cloud. The feature appears to be included in the cost of Samsung's $10 per month fee for access to the Music Hub streaming service.

NYT: 'Hacker' Marius Milner identified as Google's personal data cropping engineer
Google is embroiled in a hullabaloo over allegations that it cropped personal data from millions of people during its Street View project, and while the Federal Communications Commission ended its 17-month investigation into the matter, with a partial exoneration for the Internet giant, The New York Times is claiming to have found the culprit at the center of the case.
Google Street View is a service highlighted in Google Maps and Google Earth that offers panoramic views of streets. It launched in 2007 in the United States and has expanded to many cities and rural areas worldwide. The project ambitiously maps the world's streets with photographs while accumulating data about local wireless networks to bulk location-based searches.
It eventually became apparent that Google's Street View vehicle also gathered unencrypted information like emails and Internet searches beamed from personal computers from within homes. When this came to light, the Mountain View, Calif.-based Company fingered a nameless engineer as being solely responsible for the action, which resulted in a F.C.C. inquiry. The search engine did not break any laws, the regulatory body found, but it did obstruct the investigation.
Although Google and the F.C.C. refused to confirm, the NYT published a lengthy piece yesterday that named Marius Milner as Google's scapegoat. A former state investigator involved in another inquiry into Street View identified Milner as the engineer responsible. He is a programmer with an extensive background in telecommunications and Wi-Fi networking. As the publication discovered, Milner listed his occupation as "hacker" on his LinkedIn page (not working now), and wrote, "I know more than I want to about Wi-Fi" under the profile's "Specialties" category.

Rushing waterfalls, labyrinthine caves and soaring mountains, when you got the French Alps as a backdrop you really don't have to try too hard to impress. But that hasn't stopped Les Fontaines from extending one of the warmest welcomes in Annecy.
When you've finished exploring the mysterious Cascade de Seythenex cave system, and the St Ruph waterfall, you can rest assured that a rustic, relaxed parc is waiting for you. Beautifully situated just a few minutes from Lake Annecy, Les Fontaines is a steeply terraced parc, with a partly covered pool complex, plus a paddling pool for the little ones. But the crowning glory has to be the aqua complex, complete with a five-lane waterslide.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals

By Ian Darby, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 03 February 2006 12:00AM
Cranmer is in advanced negotiations with Kantar about taking on a new strategic role, working closely with Kantar's chief executive, Eric Salama.
Kantar, a group comprising companies including Millward Brown, The Henley Centre and Kantar Media Research, is keen to appoint a key figure from the media industry as it attempts to get to grips with the impact of media issues such as fragmentation on market research offerings.
A WPP source commented: "Research businesses also need people who can sell their products in a more compelling business-led way."
It is understood that while Cranmer has yet to finalise terms with WPP and has considered other offers, a move to Kantar is all but signed and sealed. He resigned from Starcom last March on a one-year notice period. He was replaced by Iain Jacob, the former Starcom UK chief executive, last November.
Cranmer has built a reputation as a bullish and tenacious leader of media businesses. He created the Starcom offering by bringing together several media operations. Before that, he was the managing director of BBDO. While at Bartle Bogle Hegarty, he helped to create its Motive media division.
Salama said: "I have talked to Mark and a whole bunch of other people because there is convergence between media and research. We are looking at what is happening in the industry and figuring out what to do differently."
He added: "Talk of a new role being offered is jumping a few steps ahead."

Wednesday, 10 September 2008
Seven years ago, criminal terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon
were carried out on September 11th by hijacked planes leading to the deaths of thousands
of people. A month later, key figures in the print and broadcast media and members
of Congress were sent envelopes containing very lethal and highly weaponized
anthrax, which led to the deaths of journalists and postal employees. After
the initial shock diminished, there were calls for explanations, investigations,
accountability and a reasoned response that did not include war. The administration
ignored or openly opposed them. Instead we went into a call for permanent wars
that would last beyond our lifetime, changes in civil liberties both overt and
covert, a takeover of state power by the executive branch, and the creation
of a national security emergency state that would somehow protect us.
Cynthia McKinney was one of the few voices of reason during that time in the
Congress. Long an opponent of militarism and wars abroad, she also called for
explanations and accountability when information began to come to light about
multiple advance warnings and apparent foreknowledge of the imminence and methods
of the attack inside government intelligence agencies that still failed to prevent
it. She supported calls by the families of the 9/11 victims for an official
investigation in what was being termed a "failure of intelligence"
even though it more closely resembled a failure of response, of standard operating
procedures, and of government officials and… Continue reading

An Interview with David Ray Griffin
On September 11, I entertained a couple of house guests, senior journalists from Scandinavia. I remember watching in horror and disbelief the unfolding drama, as the United States was being subjected to multiple deadly attacks on-screen. I turned to the international affairs editor of a major Danish paper and told her "This could not have been done by al-Qaida." I am an Israeli and, as such, I have a fair "sixth sense" as to the capabilities of terrorists and their potential reach.
Enter David Ray Griffin. I was introduced to him by a mutual acquaintance. He is emeritus professor of philosophy of religion and theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University. He has published over 30 books, including eight about 9/11, the best known of which is "The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-Up, and the Exposé."
On the face of it, his credentials with regards to intelligence analysis are hardly relevant, let alone impressive. But, to underestimate him would be a grave error. Being a philosopher, he is highly trained and utterly qualified to assess the credibility of data; the validity and consistency of theories (including conspiracy theories); and the rationality and logic of hypotheses. These qualifications made him arguably the most visible and senior member of what came to be known as the 9/11 Truth Movement.
In our exchange, he proved to be tolerant of dissenting views, open to debate, and invariably possessed of… Continue reading
Debunking NIST's conclusions about WTC 7 is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel
By George Washington
Symmetrical Collapse
NIST lamely tried to explain the symmetrically (sic) collapse as follows:
WTC 7's collapse, viewed from the exterior (most videos were taken from the north), did appear to fall almost uniformly as a single unit. This occurred because the interior failures that took place did not cause the exterior framing to fail until the final stages of the building collapse. The interior floor framing and columns collapsed downward and pulled away from the exterior frame. There were clues that internal damage was taking place, prior to the downward movement of the exterior frame, such as when the east penthouse fell downward into the building and windows broke out on the north face at the ends of the building core. The symmetric appearance of the downward fall of the WTC 7 was primarily due to the greater stiffness and strength of its exterior frame relative to the interior framing.
NIST can't have it both ways. If the exterior frame was so stiff and strong, then it should have stopped the collapse, or – at the very least – we would have seen a bowing effect where tremendous opposing forces were battling each other for dominance in determining the direction of the fall. See also this .
In real life, the thick structural beams and "stiff [and strong]" exterior frame used in the building should have quickly stopped any partial collapse, unless… Continue reading

British Broadcasting contorts itself again to blast 9/11 conspiracy advocates
("The Conspiracy Files: 9/11 – The Third Tower," BBC 2, July 6, 2008)
If you want to kill a dangerous animal, you go for the jugular. If you want to demolish a building, you destroy its main supports. If you want to marginalize the burgeoning 9/11 truth movement, you attack its most popular points. This isn't brain surgery.
In a recently broadcast documentary, The Conspiracy Files: 9/11 – The Third Tower, the BBC presents the second of two programs confronting claims made by a growing activist movement comprised of people who doubt the official story of 9/11. This time the BBC looks into one of the most compelling areas of 9/11 research, the theory that WTC7 was brought down by controlled demolition.
The perfect vertical implosion of this enormous building—the last of seven WTC buildings to be completely destroyed on 9/11—was filmed from several excellent angles and is further supported by aerial photos (fig. 1). Those theorists who claim that the Twin Towers as well were brought down with explosives have enjoyed an exponential boost in credence from strong evidence supporting the intentional demolition of WTC 7.
Besides giving the green light to plans on paper since the GHW Bush administration to add Iraq and Afghanistan to the U.S.'s portfolio, many 9/11 truth researchers believe that the destruction of the entire WTC was the ultimate ground breaking, the first step in an epic municipal makeover; the total… Continue reading

A political billboard in St. Cloud, Florida reads "Please Don't Vote for
a Democrat" over an image of the burning World Trade Center.
Businessman Mike Meehan, who paid for the ad, says he's "only trying to
help Republicans." The billboard also carries a link for Meehan's website,
TheRepublicanSong.com, at which he says, "I claim to be a man of God"
and promotes his political song and video.
Meehan's song, which appears to have racist overtones, begins, "The Democrat
secular progressive move, political correctness is killing us too. They want
to take the money from the hard working man, and give it to the lazy folks that
don't give a damn."
Even Republicans have found the billboard "inappropriate," and many
residents want it to come down. "I'm thinking about the Twin Towers, all
the families that were killed there," one woman told local TV affiliate
Another local was more accepting, saying, "They can have their opinion.
It's a free country, you want to pay for the ad."
However, the posters at right-wing site Lucianne.com were enthusiastic about the billboard. "Why isn't Mike Meehan the Republican presidential candidate?"
asked one. "Liberals get abjectly hysterical whenever the truth about them
is pointed out," wrote another. "People who refer to the terrorist
attack as a tragedy are morons," added a third.
The company which owns the billboard says it's a free speech issue and has
no plans to take Meehan's ad down before… Continue reading

Kevin Ryan shows his skills as both a chemist and a "private investigator" in his paper, "The Top Ten Connections Between NIST and Nano-Thermites" — Published July 4, 2008, in the Journal of 9/11 Studies — http://journalof911studies.com/volume/2008/Ryan_NIST_and_Nano-1.pdf.
Kevin Ryan discusses nano-thermite ("super-thermite") and provides very important results of his own investigation of connections between NIST and researchers studying/developing nano-thermite.
Several of us have been discussing nano-thermite for quite a while now. For instance, I announced in Boston last year the observation of red-gray chips which I found in WTC dust samples. (If you need to catch up, please see this short video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4186920967571123147&hl=en). Research papers on this material are now being written/reviewed for publication.
Thermite is comprised of aluminum powder and iron oxide powder (or another metal oxide). When the powders are "ultra-fine grain," less than about 100 nano-meters, then nano-thermite is formed. This form of thermite, also known as "super-thermite," is not just an incendiary — it is EXPLOSIVE!
I explained this distinction and even gave references to the explosive nature of super-thermite/nano-thermite in my first-published paper on 9/11, available here: Why Indeed Did theWTC Buildings Completely Collapse.
Here's a quote from that paper, pp. 16-17 (hope you all have read it, or will do so!):
'Researchers can greatly increase the power of weapons by adding materials known as superthermites that combine nanometals such as nanoaluminum with metal oxides such as iron oxide, according to Steven Son, a project… Continue reading
Tim Russert, Dick Cheney, and 9/11
by Prof. David Ray Griffin
Information Clearing House
While we are remembering Tim Russert and his years as moderator of "Meet the Press," we would do well to recall his interview with Vice President Dick Cheney at Camp David on September 16, 2001, just five days after the 9/11 attacks. 1 In fact, Cheney himself, during an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer the morning after Russert died, reminded us of that Camp David interview, saying: "I always, when I think of Tim and think of 'Meet the Press,' that's the show that always comes to mind. . . . It was a remarkable moment in American history." 2
Commenting that he himself "remember[ed] that interview vividly," Lauer asked: "Anything stand out from that interview?" In his reply, Cheney said: "We went back and reminisced to some extent about what had actually happened on the morning of 9/11. So it was—it was a remarkable moment in my career." 3
It was indeed. In reminiscing about his movements that morning, Cheney contradicted what was to become a crucial element of the account that the 9/11 Commission would give of those movements.
In praising Russert's tenure on "Meet the Press," Cheney said: "He would ask you tough questions, he would remind you of quotes you made previously in other settings or on earlier shows, so you never got away with anything going up vis-à-vis Tim." 4
Given Cheney's appraisal of his interview with Russert as… Continue reading
Kevin Ryan, Journal of 911 Studies
Two new papers have been published at the Journal of 9/11 Studies. The first is an article by Frank Legge, called "9/11 and Probability Theory".
Here is an excerpt:
"If we compare these two explanations for the collapse of the towers it is immediately apparent that they are different in a particularly significant way: the fire based official explanation is a series of events, like links in a chain, while the explosive based explanation is a parallel set of scientific studies of evidence."
The second paper is a letter from Kevin Fenton, entitled "WTC Collapse Initiation Floors: What They Were And How Much Damage They Suffered":
"It is interesting to compare the collapse initiation floor in WTC1 to the central impact floors in terms of three of the main aspects thought to have influenced the collapse: impact damage, jet fuel spilled, and debris available to remove fire insulation."

Senator Karen Johnson Blasts Congress for Failure to Defend U.S.
In a formal Floor speech in the Arizona Senate tomorrow (Tuesday, June 10),
Senator Karen S. Johnson plans to blast Congress for their failure to defend
U.S. citizens who were killed on September 11, 2001, and their failure to properly
investigate those attacks.
"It has been nearly seven years," says Johnson, "and we are
faced with new evidence that turns the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission upside
down. We are fighting a war because of 9/11 – and we still don't
really know what happened. We have spent billions of dollars on the war, with
an additional $340 million per day. Thousands of U.S. servicemen and women have
lost their lives, not to mention the lives of innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians."
Johnson revealed in a committee hearing in April that she did not accept the
official report of the 9/11 Commission and has since defended supporters calling
for a new independent investigation of the attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon. "Ground Zero was treated like little more than the site
of a building demolition – which, of course, is exactly what it was,"
says Johnson. "Everyone who has studied it recognizes that the Twin Towers
and Building 7 came down as a result of controlled explosions – not because
of the airplanes and fires."
Johnson has joined forces with local 9/11 activists who for more than two… Continue reading

When Cynthia McKinney speaks the words of Martin Luther King Jr, they resound through the church with some of King's cadence. "A time comes," declares the former US congresswoman from Georgia, "when silence is betrayal." The congregation answers with whoops and calls of "That's right!" King was talking about America's war in Vietnam. More than 40 years later, before the packed pews of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, McKinney is speaking of the American government's war on its own people. The shock and awe phase of this conflict, we had been told earlier, began on September 11 2001, when the Bush administration launched attacks on New York and Washington, or at least waved them through.
According to a show of hands that February afternoon, several hundred people in the immaculate church believe this to be true. Some came in T-shirts bearing the words "9/11 was an inside job". One wore a badge demanding that you "Examine your assumptions". Quite a few bought the DVDs on sale in the foyer, most of which bore photographs of the Twin Towers spewing smoke. They had all come to hear the message of Architects, Engineers & Scientists for 9/11 Truth, one of the dozens of groups across the US which campaign to persuade us that everything we think we know about 9/11 is wrong.

Although I was not able to be present at the rally either in person or by telephone,
I wanted to express my strong support for the NYC
9/11 Ballot Initiative.
There has never been a better time to get such an initiative on the ballot, because
the 9/11 Truth Movement's case against the official account of 9/11 is now extremely
strong—much stronger than it was just two years ago.
For example, new evidence has been brought forth to show that the official account
of the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 cannot possibly be true. The NIST
Report has been shown to be completely inadequate, and a former employee of NIST
has spoken out to verify what we already suspected—that NIST has become totally
politicized, so that its scientists are little more than "hired guns."
Besides the fact that the NIST Report has been discredited, so has The 9/11
Commission Report. Philip Shenon's book has made public what we in the movement
have long known, that the 9/11 Commission was controlled by a man, Philip Zelikow,
who represented the Bush-Cheney White House. Shenon even shows that Zelikow had
outlined the whole report before the Commission's staff had begun its work.
Moreover, some central pillars of the official account have been demolished by
the FBI. It has said it has no hard evidence that Osama bin Laden was responsible
for the attacks, that there were no cell phone calls from passengers… Continue reading
Phoenix 9/11 Truth Activist to Start Hunger Strike at McCain's Office: Memorial Day, 5:00PM, May 26, 2008 at the office of Senator John McCain, 5353 N. 16th St., Phoenix, AZ
Contact: Tim King Office: 480.329.9090, e-mail: email@example.com
Phoenix, AZ, May 21, 2008 – In an effort to bring national attention to the 9/11 truth issue, Phoenix activist, Blair Gadsby, a professor of Religious Studies, plans to start a hunger strike on Memorial Day, at the Phoenix office of Senator John McCain. Gadsby is putting the spotlight on McCain because of McCain's avowed support for the official account of 9/11. McCain is the author of the foreword to the 2006 Popular Mechanics book, Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts.
Gadsby, an Arizonan who is represented by McCain, stated for the record, "I believe Mr. McCain is a man of deep integrity. He has stood up to corporate influence in campaigns and to the very powerful Military Industrial Complex in the past, and he has a record of being a maverick. That's why I've chosen to offer him this opportunity to face the issues head-on publicly. He may be one of the very, very few who have the integrity and stature to keep the military loyal and find the broad-based political support to bring about a change in our great country. But today, he is in a perilous position. By writing the Foreword to the official cover-up story, he has sided with the… Continue reading

Here we go again. President Bush goes to Israel. He talks to the Israeli Knesset about standing "together against terror and extremism." He cites the example of Osama bin Laden teaching that "the killing of Jews and Americans is one of the biggest duties." The next day, yet another unauthenticated bin Laden tape surfaces. "In a tape marking Israel's 60th anniversary," reported the BBC, "the speaker pledged to continue fighting the Israelis and not give up a 'single inch of Palestine.'" Once again, the lead was followed by what has now become the standard second line, "The tape's authenticity could not be verified." Once again, the timing is interesting. Bin Laden's message was just in time to help President Bush make his point.
The BBC's May 16, 2008 report continues with this: "The last messages attributed to Bin Laden were aired in March." Those messages couldn't be verified either.
The last clear videotape of bin Laden was released to al Jazeera on December 27, 2001. The CIA released one two weeks earlier that they claimed had been shot the month before, but the video is very fuzzy and the purported bin Laden in the tape doesn't altogether look like the bin Laden in authentic photos and videos. A couple of other videos were released in 2004 and 2007, both of which were fuzzy enough to raise questions. The 2007 video looked exactly like the 2004 video, except that the purported bin Laden's beard… Continue reading

Following is Richard Gage's invitation:
Richard Gage, AIA, Architect
May 12, 2008
Dear Honored Citizen(s):
You are invited to attend a forum at MIT concerning the Collapse of the 3 World
Trade Center high-rises on 9/11.
I am the founder of the organization Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
which is a fast-growing collaboration of more than 350 architectural and engineering
professionals. The last few years have witnessed the emergence of mounting scientific
evidence that the collapses of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7 were not adequately
explained by the official theories outlined in the 2002 FEMA and 2005 NIST reports.
The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth call for a new, fully funded unimpeachable
Congressional investigation with subpoena power.
We are dedicated to presenting the evidence that supports our call in this
comprehensive presentation.
What the Evidence Shows
Sounds of explosions coming from each of the WTC Twin Towers were heard well
before the collapses began. These were reported by over 118 first responders
in the FDNY recorded "oral histories" (the release of which was
resisted by the City of NY until forced by a New York Times FOIA filing).Numerous
accounts of "flashes of light" which commonly accompany the detonation
of demolition charges were also reported. Video footage… Continue reading
We deserve the full truth about 9/11
Tale of Building 7's collapse suggests official complicity, persistent obstruction
Regarding "Drinking the 9/11 Kool-Aid" (Editorial, April 24):
After three government investigations and more than six years, we still don't have answers on 9/11.
Why, for example, did Building 7 collapse? It wasn't hit by a plane, as the towers were. The 9/11 Commission Report completely ignores Building 7. The Federal Emergency Management Agency report discounts fire as a cause and concludes that the reasons for the collapse of Building 7 are unknown and require further research. But when FEMA issued this report, it already cleared the site and disposed of the dust and steel (evidence from a crime scene), thus possibly committing a felony and complicating any "further research."
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, a federal agency, which evaluated the collapse of the towers, has yet to issue its report on Building 7. "We've had trouble getting a handle on Building 7," said the acting director of their Building and Fire Research Lab.
Yet a number of private-sector engineers, architects, and demolition experts have not had that problem. They think Building 7 came down by controlled demolition. The building collapsed suddenly, straight down, at nearly free-fall speed. People heard the explosions, and saw the squibs and the characteristic billowing clouds of pulverized concrete so unique to demolitions. There is no reason to think that Building 7 came down for any other reason than explosive demolition.
And speaking of pulverized concrete,… Continue reading
An investigation of the 9/11 events by a Russian-American journalist and a father of a 9/11 victim implicates the US government in the attacks.
ALEX PROKOP (Jarek Kupsc), a successful journalist, receives a rare 9/11 video tape revealing new information about the attack. The footage was sent by PAUL COOPER (Joseph Culp), a driven researcher, whose daughter died on 9/11. Sensing a good story, Prokop travels with Cooper to New York and Washington, DC, where they uncover suppressed information implicating the US Government in the attacks. As Cooper introduces Prokop to key eye-witnesses, the façade of the "official story" begins to crumble. Prokop hears accounts of underground explosions in the Twin Towers moments before their collapse and discovers that the firm providing WTC security was run by the President's brother.
We follow Alex and Cooper as they investigate the inexplicable collapse of the 47-story WTC Building Seven, disprove the implausible airliner "attack" on the Pentagon, and uncover the illegal destruction of physical evidence from Ground Zero.
The pressure builds as the FBI intimidates Alex's editor, McGUIRE, (Lisa Black) to reveal key sources — while the magazine's corporate investors threaten to kill the entire story. Plagued by the ghosts of his Communist childhood and trying to uphold the independence of American journalism, Alex's search for the truth leads to a dangerous and shocking realization!

Sixteen months ago, Brigham Young University and Steven Jones parted ways, but he said this week he isn't bitter about the academic divorce.
He certainly hasn't curtailed his volatile research on the collapse of the three World Trade Center towers after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
(Yes, three towers fell, not just two. If you didn't know that, Jones is particularly interested in reaching you with his message that some other group, in addition to al-Qaida, likely contributed to the collapses.)
In fact, Jones is the lead author of a paper on the collapses published April 18 in a civil engineering journal. (Ed.: Full paper can be read here at www.Bentham-open.org.)
The journal article does not list his past tie to BYU, and that's a big Mission Accomplished for university leaders, who felt they acted to protect BYU's reputation when they worked out a retirement package with Jones and he left at the end of 2006.
But Jones is sharing a cramped BYU office with some professors. He also does research in a BYU lab as an outside user with a student who works with him.
Most importantly, he is preparing several more papers that, if they pass peer review and are published, will give him the peace of mind that his case reached the public.
Jones was energized in November when he and others received a response from the national lab charged by Congress… Continue reading

Bought this for my Honda Foreman 400. Also bought the HF winch plate. It did take some fabricating and welding to mount the plate which I expected. The fairlead mounts to the HF winch plate but I had to drill a couple extra holes for the winch body and fasten everything down with Grade 5 machine bolts and lock washers. I disassebled the winch prior to mounting it and cleaned and repacked the planetary gear sets with high quality extreme pressure synthetic grease, the winch has very little grease in the gear sets as it comes from HF. That goes a long way toward reducing the noise.I had no issues with the remote, common sense tells you to hold down the on-off button until the ready light comes on. Mine works just fine.I did take the solenoid box apart, re-route the antenna wire and seal the box with a bead of RTV silicone to insure it stays water tight.Works great for me, pulling logs and general ATV work on my hunting ground.Cable in and out control is dependent on the solenoids so fine movement is next to impossible, but it is a winch after all, not a micrometer....,.You must buy the winch plate and/or have fabricating skills if you plan on doing a correct and sturdy installation.I would suggest not using the supplied mounting hardware and obtaining good Grade 5 machine bolts and lockwashers. The supplied hardware isn't much.

I plan to use it in my equipment business. It was fairly easy to install and it fits the very small winch mount that HF sells for $4 or so perfectly. You will need to order that separate mount as there is none with this kit. When I first tried to use the winch I could not get the remote to work or so it seemed. It has a center button for off/on and 2 direction buttons. I didn't know that you have to hold the off/on button down for about 5 seconds for the remote light to come on and start working. If it's in the manual - I didn't come across it. The winch makes a near screeching noise when operating - very noisy. It may be dry bearings or something in the motor but squirting oil around the drum near the bearings did not fix it. I would hope not all of them are noisy like this because it truly is a really nice winch otherwise. After 2 hrs of modifications and installing, I will not be taking it back off and sending it back for replacement. It seems to work good otherwise. I am only recommending it because I believe my noisy one is probably the luck of the draw.

Electric winch review
By Flying Dutchman
from Walnut Creek CA
About Me Professional
Comments about 2500 lb. ATV/Utility Electric Winch with Wireless Remote Control:
This is my third winch of the same model. They all work great (one for three+ years) but I wish the directions for the remote were clearer. I use two for loading cars onto my two car trailers and one to pull cars up the small ramp into my shop now that I'm getting old enough that pushing is no longer fun. Never a hint of problem and the remote is more useful that you can imagine!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great on my 4 weeler.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The only problem I had installing it was to figure out how to fit it inside my grill frame. Once that was done, I had to make a couple of braces to mount the roller guide.Great price ($54 Total) with the plate to mount it on. I've been looking at doing this for six years now, ever since I got my Honda Foreman 440. Love it! Don't know if I'll ever get to use it, but I have one now if I ever need it.

Strong utility winch

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I have modified the winches that I own such as; custom switches, replace steel rope with synthetic rope, added grease to the gear box. I don't know why winch manufactures are still using steel rope instead of synthetic when synthetic is superior in every way, lighter, stronger, safer.

good little winch
By plower
from Greene, NY
I got mine to lift the snowplow on my pickup as I couldn't afford the $600 pump. It works pretty well. The only thing I would suggest is pull the cable out all the way and pull it back in with some tension to avoid binding.

Decent winch,
By Dave
from Sturgis Mi
bought this thinking that it would have a wired remote included with the wireless one but it didnt, had to open up the box and run wires to the solenoid within so i could run it by a switch on the dash of my golf cart, other than that works great,

A great little winch for the price.
By Texas Hillbilly
from Tennessee
Reasonably priced and easy to install with the mount they sell at Harbor Freight. So far the only complaint I have is with the remote switch. You have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to activate the switch. There is NOTHING in the user manual about the switch. Other than that, its been great.
Remote Not User Friendly

Great little winch for me.
By GarzaFarm.com
from Calhan, Co
This is a great littlw winch. It has worked well for me. I will say to purchase extra batteries for the remote while you are at HF. I use mine 3 days a week. I attached it to my HF Crane. I use it to lift 55 gallon drums about 3 feet in the air. They are filled with about 500lbs of wet grain from the brewerys. I get 15 drums 3 times a week.

Lovely cards and words.
Roy Lessin's work is always heart-felt and feels like talking with a friend who cares.
The cards are just perfect. I belong to a senior citizens group and send cards to the sick and they are great. They also have a Bible Verse on them which is very meaningful and which I like very much.
I use these cards as one of my ministry I do and I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you!
Very pretty
Each design is beautiful and the message is positive. Perfect to send to those who are in the hospital or sick. Definitely recommend them.
Nice cards, good quality, decent price too! I like my cards!
I love the cards and receive lots of feed back on them! Worth the money any day!

Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin talks about commercial real estate and development.
Start-up craft brewer seeks MEDC loan
Start-up craft brewer Brenner Brewing Co. is seeking a $250,000 loan from a nonprofit business lender to help finance its Walker's Point facility.
Brenner Brewing, led by Mike Brenner, is seeking the loan from the city-affiliated Milwaukee Economic Development Corp. for the $1.8 million project, according to the proposal. The primary lender is Spring Bank.
Brenner is converting 6,900 square feet at 706 S. 5th St., previously used as a parking garage, into a craft brewery, tasting room and retail space.
The project's budget includes $600,000 for building improvements, $900,000 for equipment and $300,000 for working capital. The MEDC loan would help pay for the build-out of the brewing and tasting rooms.
The company estimates it will have three full-time and five part-time employees within two years, Brenner said Monday.
Brenner Brewing plans to begin full-scale production by March and have its brands available for purchase by April, said Brenner, an artist and former gallery owner.
MEDC's Loan and Finance Committee is to review the loan request at its Tuesday meeting.
Brenner Brewing is among several craft food and beverage makers located in Walker's Point, just south of downtown Milwaukee.
That list includes Great Lakes Distillery, 616 W. Virginia St.; Indulgence Chocolatiers, 211 S. 2nd St.; Clock Shadow Creamery, 138 W. Bruce St.; Purple Door Ice Cream, which is moving by March from Clock Shadow Creamery to 205 S. 2nd St.; Anodyne Coffee Co., 224 W. Bruce St.; Central Standard Craft Distillery LLC, 609 S. 2nd St., and Milwaukee Brewing Co., 613 S. 2nd St.

How do you attract more traffic to your videos when Google can't search them? SEO expert Ian Lurie shows how to optimize your YouTube and other video listings for search engines and convert that traffic to achieve your business goals. This course provides an overview of video SEO and helps you understand video ranking factors, add important metadata like keywords and tags, market your video on social media, and build a video landing page.
How you choose to deliver you video, and the length of that video have implications for video SEO. Many hosting sites, Vimeo and VZaar for example, have the option of showing the first few minutes of video and then asking viewers to sign up or pay to see the rest. That's called a partial view. You can see an example of that here at the top. That's fine for marketing in general, but for successful video SEO, you want to show the full video. Having a partial-view video doesn't directly impact rankings as far as we know. Instead, it impacts lots of other ranking factors.
For example, a partial video is not going to generate as many links or shares. Customers are less likely to share a video with friends, or link to it from their various blogs and profiles if they know, they're sending everyone to a partial video. It's frustrating for everyone. It's also not going to generate as many thumbs up, again, folks get frustrated when they can't watch the whole video. You can't do a complete transcript. A truncated video usually means a truncated transcript, which means less keyword relevance on the hosting service and, if you keep your transcript on your landing page, on your own site.
A full video will generate more comments than a partial view video: positive comments anyway. The same for ratings, and comments and ratings build the authority and trust around that video. And finally, a partial video is less likely to be favorite, and favorites are a major ranking factor. So, use full views, your audience will thank you and that will result in higher rankings. Now, talking about video length. I've looked at several thousand videos, and typically a top ranking video is two to ten minutes in length, and it's complete, as in self-contained. Try to stick within those parameters.
You may sometimes have a single video that's much longer than that. I've done a few that were over an hour. If that's the case, consider some options. You could break that longer video up into two to ten minute chunks, then put them all in a single playlist from a single page on your website. The result is, you pull all those videos together into a single set of content. It's almost as good as having everything contained in the same video. If you're having a hard time persuading yourself or your boss that you should put a complete video out there for free, consider how much money do you think you'll earn by charging folks to see the entire video.
Do the math on this. If you get 1,000 people to watch the introduction to your video, and then 5% of those people move on and watch the rest after doing whatever it is they're supposed to do, and that's a very generous number, you'll end up with 20 paying customers. If you can charge them each $10, that's $200. On the other hand, if you can get all 1,000 of those people to watch the entire video, and if they all tell two to three friends about the video so that they go and watch it, you've just had 3 to 4,000 people watch the video.
If 5% of those people become customers of your larger business, that's a hundred and 50 or so real customers. That's a far better payoff. These aren't absolute numbers, so, take the dollar amounts with a grain of salt. All I'm saying is that there are very few scenarios where charging for a video content will make you more money than using that video content to get folks paying for core products or services. Now that you've seen this video, you understand why it's important to use full views unless you can show a really, really strong financial justification for a partial view.
Run the numbers on your own business, and on the value of a full customer versus what you could charge for a particular video.

London 2012: Brixton made me the player I am - Luol Deng
In the latest part of our weekly #olympicthursday series profiling leading British hopes, BBC World Service reporter Chris Mitchell meets basketball star Luol Deng.
Luol Deng is passionate about England, London and Brixton in particular.
The six-foot-nine Chicago Bulls star puts his success down to his early days with the Brixton Topcats, where the coach Jimmy Rodgers discovered him and convinced a then football-mad Deng to give hoops a chance.
"I wanted to be a footballer, I was really good," says Deng. "It was very hard for me to let go of football and go to Brixton to play basketball.
Pops Mensah-Bonsu on Deng
"He came from humble beginnings and his work ethic translates on and off the court - I am probably his biggest fan. For the past few years I think he's probably been the most underrated player in the NBA. I felt like he's been an All-Star calibre player and finally he got his just due by being an All-Star this year. Even though I am a little older than him, I learn from him. I look at how he goes about things on and off the court; I look at how he interacts with people. He's got talent, second of all his work ethic is up there with his talent and his determination is just as high."
"I remember my brother kept trying to get me to go and I kept dodging him and I kept making excuses. Finally, I went with him and started practising and started playing with the older guys until Jimmy came over and he was like: 'You have a chance to be something special.'
"Since that day I just worked hard and listened to him, and basketball grew on me.''
Deng, 27, will be the focal point when Great Britain's men make their first Olympic basketball appearance since 1948, and he joined up with the squad for a training camp in Houston last month.
He and team-mates Eric Boateng and Ogo Adegboye played at the Topcats and there's clearly a brotherhood within the camp in Texas.
"Everyone who played at Brixton knows how important it is to say you're from Brixton," says Deng.
"It's a small community and we are all really proud of where we come from. We were all taught basketball by Jimmy and since day one, the way we were taught is the way we grew up. We all have similar characters and that's because of Brixton basketball and the foundation that was put together - the discipline, the hard work.''
Deng's family fled civil war in Sudan when he was a young child. He lived in Egypt for five years, then moved to London and on to college in the USA before joining the Chicago Bulls.
Things could have been very different for him, but he rejects the notion that he had a hard or troubled upbringing.
"I remember the first time I played soccer in England. I'd never, ever, played on the grass and I'd never played with a real soccer ball.
"Growing up we would get two rocks and use those as goalposts and and we would make a ball out of socks and that's how we would play, and the shoes that you had were barely hanging on. But at the time you enjoyed that.
"A lot of times people ask how difficult was it. It really wasn't difficult. It's only difficult now, when I tell you the story, because you've had nice shoes, you've had the big soccer ball, you had the goalposts and the nice grass. I didn't have all that so I didn't have to compare it. I went with what I had and enjoyed it. So when we came to England, it was a different world for me."
Deng is not with Team GB for the glory. If the host nation is to do well, Deng needs to be on court for as long as is humanly possible.
This season he averaged over 39 minutes per game for Chicago, more than any other player in the NBA. He says his endurance is something else he learned in Brixton.
"There was never a day that I came to practice and left feeling I didn't put in the work," he explains.
- Born in Wau, Sudan (now South Sudan) on April 16, 1985
- Family fled to Egypt during Sudanese civil war
- Family granted political asylum in UK and moved to Brixton, south London
- Played for England Juniors aged 13
- Moved to the US aged 14 to play basketball at Blair Academy, New Jersey
- Went to Duke University
- Picked by Phoenix Suns in 2004 NBA draft but immediately traded to Chicago Bulls
- Became a naturalised British citizen in 2006
- Made Great Britain debut against Georgia in 2007
- Signed a six-year contract extension with the Bulls in 2009
- Became the first Briton selected for the NBA All-Star Game in February 2012
"I've never worked as hard as I did in Brixton. Jimmy really pushed us to the limit. There were times when I felt like it was a little too much but, as I got older, I realised that I am who I am because that was part of me.''
Deng has been with the GB Basketball project since 2007, despite his relentless programme across eight NBA seasons. The time on court has taken its toll.
His bandaged left wrist - which has been damaged for some time - looks thin and vulnerable. He needs an operation but is putting it off until after the Games. He says his knees are fine but he walks out of the gym in Houston straight-legged, like a scarecrow. He has wrapped them so tightly in ice at the end of his session in the gym that he can barely move.
Deng is so precious to the GB camp that he sits out the five games in Houston but he is a fixture on the bench throughout, watching each match avidly.
In the time-outs he is up and talking, giving his words of advice, before the coach Chris Finch joins the huddle.
Deng is disappointed as GB lose a game they should have won against Nigeria at the Baptist University in Houston. If they can't beat the African underdogs how can they expect to do anything other than lose at the Olympics?
"You can't look too far ahead," he says. "What I've been telling the guys is one game at a time. And we just take it from there."
It is difficult to see GB beating Russia, Brazil or Spain in their group but they could make the knockout rounds if they beat Australia and China.
"Whoever you play, it's tough," Deng admits. "Obviously some teams are better than others but every game is going to be a grind, every game is going to be a fight, and we understand that."
The United States - with NBA champion Lebron James and LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant - are favourites to defend their Olympic title, but Deng suggests it is not a forgone conclusion.
"You've got to look at teams like Spain, you've got to look teams like Argentina," explains Deng. "Teams who have a lot of experience, a lot of guys who've done it before and are still the same group and saying it's their last round together."
Clearly it will take something spectacular for GB to progress beyond the group stages but Deng believes it is possible.
"If you don't think that way, you may as well not show up. We definitely believe. We've been working very hard.
"You know, it's funny, the guys that are in the team are the same guys I grew up with. We always used to say that one day we would put British basketball on the map.
"It's a special time for us and all the kids that love basketball to finally stand proud and say, 'That's our team.' It's huge for us.''
