No won't need a home kit because that comes with the boombox. I just found an even better deal. You can get that whole set with the boombox for $99. This is that store from the XM411 site they are a good store that ships fast. Here is the link.Originally Posted by GAC

I have had XM Radio for 20 months and have enjoyed every day of it. 700WLW is offered on the XM radio lineup but they cannot broadcast the Reds or Bengals game on the WLW channel XM 173. It is great for the pre and post game shows which XM can broadcast. I record these almost daily on my XM MyFi in the event I cannot listen at the current time it is on.
Here is some information and questions you may have regarding WLW on XM:
As you know XM broadcasts all MLB games. One note is that only the home team broadcast is provided. Say the Reds are playing in St. Louis, you will hear the Cardinals broadcast team. If the Reds are at home, you will hear Marty and Steve. The HOMEPLATE station (XM175) is a 24/7 talk show even during the OFF-SEASON! Here is some information on that.
Your XM radio you choose will wirelessly go through ANY FM stereo. All you do is program your XM receiver to an FM station then you tune your regular FM stereo to that assigned station number.
If you are not comfortable installing your XM radio in your car, Best Buy will do it for around $45. I had them install mine.
Please remember, indoors you normally cannot get a signal where ever you set it up. You will probably have to have the XM antenna facing south via a window. Sometimes, you may not need a window though.
For the beginner, you should probably take Reds Fanatic advice and buy the BUNDLE deal for $99. That is a great deal. If recording things is a high priority, the MyFi is a great device (I have two). As Reds Fanatic also said, the
XM411.com website is very good. XMFAN.com is also another very good site.
Good luck in your choce. Any question(s), please ask.

If you have an FM radio in your car and a cigarette lighter you are set. You just plug in the cradle to the cigarette lighter and tune your fm radio to the best frequency. Mine is 107.9. Your owners manual will tell what frequencies are best. Everything you need for the boombox comes with it. It can be battery operated or electric. FYI the Batteries don't last long so going the electric route is best. You can also use the Roady receiver in the boombox if decide to buy that type of receiver. I think the Roady is about the same price as the Audiovox.Originally Posted by GAC
Like others have said you can activate online cheaper and it only takes a few minutes to kick in. XM online only has music stations,no MLB games or talk radio. I haven't used it very much. Enjoy!
Reds Fan Since 1971
Have you guys noticed they have some ads on the music only channels now? I am a little disappointed about that...that was a big selling point to me, but I still like it.
The ads are on the CLEAR CHANNEL music stations only (I think 6 of them). The Clear Channel stations will have a CM on your XM Receiver screen. There normally are only 2 minutes of commericals per hour. When I hear a commerical, I just grin to myself and go to another station.Originally Posted by redsfanfalcon
six or seven years ago, Clear Channel invested around 75 million dollars to help start up XM radio. This was (I think) part of the agreement.
* Attended the 1990 and 2010 Reds Division clinchers *

*Bat Votto SECOND, please?*
In some cases, when those Clear Channel-programmed channels added commercials, XM just added another similar ad-free channel.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
I got the TAO XM to go. It has vehcle and home kit. When I get a rental car, I justt a take the home kit antenna and put it on the dash. I don't even bother to mount the antenna outside. For most of the time I get a signal. Plus the XM2GO has a rechargeble battery that makes it portable. I can take it on walks, listen to the game while my kids are on amusement park ride, etc.
You are correct. (I forgot to mention that.)Originally Posted by IslandRed

GAC - thanks for this topic.
Over the weekend, I did a friend a favor and drove her car to Texas (she has moved there) and got hooked on XM during the ride. I have ot some good ideas from this thread as well as some on slickdeals.com
Thanks everyone for your input.
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
With the Reds contending, it is also awesome to have XM to get immediate updates on scores and even listen to another game that has impact on the Reds lead in the wildcard etc.
XM also has receivers that has a scrolling scoreboard on whatever teams you want to set up.
You can also activate a stock ticker which I am sure Tracy Jones has.

I love it, however I think the music stations on Sirius are a bit better. The only problem with that is that baseball is not on Sirius. That has just been my observation.
I think what I am going to do is buy a Sirius radio as well, and just switch after baseball season is over. Sirius has that darn Foosball.

Great look, good quality!
Great value for the money on this chandelier. I have seen similar lights in popular furniture catalogs and in boutiques for two or three times this price. I bought one for myself when I was redecorating my house. This one was for a friend.Read More
I've had my eye on lanterns of this style for months and months; by far, this is the best price around and the quality is not compromised. They come packaged and protected with tremendous care, and install with ease. Thrilled!Read More
Cute, but small
It is a really cute light, but pay attention to measurements. I bought for our study with 9 ft ceilings and it's just too small for the space, but my husband wanted semi-flush. Fast delivery though. Quality item.Read More
Bought this for my mudroom hallway light. The bowl is bigger/wider than what I thought it would be based on the picture. However, it still looks nice hanging.Read More
not exactly what I expected
Not what I expected. I purchased the light for a mudroom. The color is more like a black painted brass; more brass than black. Additionally, the light bulbs are taller than the glass which looks odd as well as the glass bowl hanging much lower than the light itself. It is almost like the chains holding up the bowl are too long? Should have purchased a similar light on Overstock. The light is installed and will not remove to return. Will learn to love it. Shipment was received well packed and within a reasonable time.Read More
Great light for the price!
We ordered this light for our front entryway foyer. We have replaced almost all the light fixtures in our house over the last two years, and this was probably the easiest one yet. It look great, and definitely has a PB look. I would call the color Orb (oil rubbed bronze), not regular bronze. Overall we are very happy with it!Read More
Just Right!
This is just the added style I needed for my breakfast nook. I purchased the 9lt Old World Chandelier and this is the perfect companion. I do have to agree with a previous reviewer, bugs do tend to collect in the bottom of the bowl. However, a Swiffer will take care of them very easily.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello Come on!, this is a flush mount and will not work on a vaulted ceiling. Thanks for shopping with us!
Why did you choose this product?
It has a classic design with modern flair. The reviews seemed favorable. I plan to use in our front entry.
I love the lantern look and a flush mount is exactly what I needed.
It looked like pottery barn's

Hi, our chandelier is up and looks great...however, we did a lot of work in the area and there is a ton of dust that gathered at the bottom of the bowl. We cannot get the bowl off to clean it...any tips?
Hello sunshined214, can you unattache the hooks from the chain? I hope this helps. Have a great day!
How can I get a replacement glass bowl? Mine broke during installation. Thanks
Hello SandraDM, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Hi! I would like to get this light with a pendant and chandelier. Can you help with items that has same finish? Thanks!
Hello thinkoutsidethecircle, there are several options to browse through. I'll link you: http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=Antique+Copper+Finish+Glass+Lantern&SearchType=Header - Thanks for shopping with us! L.B.
Is there anyway to raise the glass bowl so the light bulbs are set lower and not above the glass bowl
Thank you for your question decatur0917. Unfortunately, there is no way to raise the bowl, the chandelier is sold as is. Have a great day.
The light bulbs are attached to the rod in the middle and it doesn't appear to be adjustable.
We have slanted ceiling and would like this light for center. Will the light fixture pivot? Is it just chains that hold it up, then they will pivot on a slanted ceiling?
Thank you for your question susanmar17. The Antique Copper Finish Glass Lantern Flushmount Chandelier can not be used on a slanted ceiling, because the light bulbs will touch the glass shade. Have a great day.
Is the 15" in height for the bowl only, or does that include the length of the chain?
Thank you for your question kdstock. 15 inches is the height of the light, from the bottom of the glass bowl to the top of the chain. Have a great day.
We just installed this light and the light bulbs come above the glass bowl. We have tried shortening the links but it won't reach all three sides of the bowl. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Hi, This item says it is copper, but I think of copper like a penny...sometimes bright and sometimes dull but with that redish hue. The picture makes it look more bronze than copper...can you give me a better description of it please...in terms of its color?
Hello leemather4060, The finish is an antique copper, which looks like a copper that is tarnished. If you zoom in on the image, specifically on the base, you will be able to see the finish a little more clearly. Thank you for your question.
I have exactly 15 inched of clearance between my ceiling and the top of my front door. How accurate is the height measurement of this fixture?
If need be, you could remove a link from each of the chains to shorten it.
Dimensions: 15 inches high x 14 inches diameter

Limited run
Ferrari 599XX
Posted: 30 Jun 2010
Customers will, Ferrari hopes, spend more time in the car when it doesn't try and bite your head off quite so hard. Then again, even though no performance times have been published, the 599XX weighs just 1,330kg (some 330kg less than the stock car) and laps Ferrari's Fiorano test track within one second of the FXX and 10 seconds faster than the road version. This should not be considered a 'soft' option.

I definitely understand the need of a canon on the blue line, but every time I've seen someone mention getting a new defenseman...they always stipulate it has to be right handed. Is that actually a deal breaker or just to mix it up with our glut of lefties?
So, probably a stupid question, and feel free to merge it wherever it may fit, but it's been bugging me lately and I wasn't really sure where else to ask.
One thing is simple positioning. When you're skating to the blue line as a center, the guy to your left can put his back to the wall if he's a right-handed shot, and vice versa. Which means if you get the PP set up, you can have a right-handed shot on the left point and a left-handed shot on the right point.
Because we have a ton of lefties, we have to put a guy on the left point who is a lefty, and his body positioning isn't exactly ideal. He has to turn to fire shots and what not, as opposed to the righty who already is in position and can easily one-time the pass on goal.

More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

My advice to you is to keep an open mind.
If you truly love the game it's only natural for you to want to learn everything you can in order to better understand and appreciate everything about it.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Todd Frazier hit a two-run home run, Ryan Ludwick and Jay Bruce added solo shots, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 7-3 on Friday night in the opener of a four-game weekend series. Bronson Arroyo survived a shaky start to improve to 5-1 in his last six starts. Arroyo (9-7) gave up nine hits and three runs with three walks, three strikeouts and a wild pitch in 6 1-3 innings. Cincinnati, coming off a loss to the New York Mets on Thursday that snapped a five-game winning streak, began the day leading the NL Central by six games. The Reds had six extra-base hits in five innings against streaky former teammate Travis Wood (4-9), who has lost his last six decisions after winning four straight starts.

Strategic and coy are for jackasses. Be Brave."-Cheryl Strayed
My deepest values are compassion, connection, and liberation. I'm also pretty irreverent and funny, and extroverted in a super-friendly-with-strangers kind of way. Generosity and authenticity are really important qualities to me, both to cultivate in myself and find in a mate. I like dates who are politically radical and also very warm. My main "love language" is touch/ physical affection, so bonus points if you're cuddly. :) My 9yr old kiddo is the most important thing in my world (and is with me 4 days a week), and dates have to get that. Friends, family, and community are super important, too! But I'm also really ready to have a partner for sharing all the love and juicyness of life.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Other
I used to have an old dog, and 3 chickens, but they all died last year. My dream is to have some alpacas and maybe a mini goat or two. And a dog.

Well the Zune recently came out but I ws wondering if there is any linux development for it. Linux could break th drm encryption etc and allow us to share sounds through te wifi without any restrrictions. Also linux could take advantage of the wifi and 500 mhz processor to go online or even set up a mobile webserver. The possibilites of linux on a zune would be endless so I was wondering if anyone knew of any development currently going on for the Zune.
Zune Linux?

Use of Library Facilities
NewsLink covers a wide range of archived newspapers under SPH group: The Straits Times (Including Digital Life, Mind Your Body, Urban, Little Red Dot and IN), The Straits Times Education Programme, The Sunday Times, The Business Times, The Business Times Weekend, The New Paper, The New Paper on Sunday, Tabla, Berita Harian (including Gen G/I-Cube), Berita Minggu (Malay), Lianhe Zaobao, Lianhe Zaobao Sunday, My Paper (Chinese and English), Shin Min Daily News, Lianhe Wanbao, Friday Weekly (Chinese), Thumbs Up (Chinese) & Thumbs Up Junior (Chinese).
The English archive goes back to July 1989 while the Chinese archive starts from January 1994. The archived news has a time delay in uploading of up to 3 calendar days.
You may access Newslink via the steps below. Newslink is available worldwide but you will have to login to the intranet to access the database.
Please note that access to NewsLink is strictly confined to ISEAS research staff. Please also note that concurrent excessive downloading/accessing of articles may cause our access to be temporarily suspended.
Step 1. To access Newslink you will need to login to the staff intranet. The intranet link is also available on the ISEAS homepage. You will need to request for your password to be sent to you if you have forgotten it.
Step 2. After logging into the intranet, hover over the Library label in the menu and click on the NewsLink hyperlink.
Step 3. Click on the "Access Newslink" button to open the database
Please contact the ISEAS Library at firstname.lastname@example.com if you encounter any problems accessing the database.
Accessing and Visiting ISEAS Library
Is ISEAS Library open to the public?
Yes, since 2013 the Library is open to the public who are interested in the studies of Southeast Asian region. There is no special permission required to access the library except a simple registration form to be filled up for the first time user.
Why does the Library needs to charge a refundable deposit of $200 for certain type of users?
For loan of books outside the Library, a refundable (subject to loan items returned without damages) security deposit of S$200 might be required according to the loan policy available at http://www.iseas.edu.sg/borrowing-privileges.cfm.
This is to cover the cost of repairing or replacing the borrowed books should the borrower lose or damage them. It also acts as a financial reminder for the borrower to take proper care when using the books.
What happens if the title I have borrowed is now lost or damaged?
Library members who fail to return the loaned titles or damage the loaned titles shall pay a replacement fee, which is based on the actual cost of replacing the lost item or damaged item plus a S$30 administrative fee (for technical processing which include labelling and RFID tagging, etc). Alternatively, the borrower may purchase the same item or a more recent edition to be given to the Library as a replacement and only pay the S$30 administrative fee.
The Library reserves the rights to withdraw membership of users who misplace or damage loaned titles without proper accounting for such losses.
Building Your Own Booklist in SEALion
To be able to refer to some library titles frequently, building your own booklist in SEALion makes this task easier and faster.
Steps 1. Go to the online catalogue SEALion. Login to iLink (library user account) at the top right of the screen.
Steps 2. Click on "Permanent Lists" to create your own list. In the New List box, type the name you want to assign to the new list, and click Add List.
Steps 3. Start a search to find titles.
Steps 4. Click +My List for the items to include in the list. Marked items can be unmarked by clicking -My List.
Steps 5. When you are done with the final title, click Permanent Lists.
Steps 6. You can remove some of the items in your booklist by selecting the check box by the titles to be removed and clicking Remove Checked Titles. To clear the list, click Remove All Titles.
Steps 7. You can choose the All, Brief, or Full View of Records to specify the level of detail to display for each record in the list.
Steps 8. From the permanent list page, you can choose to view the list online, print the list, or e-mail the list to an address you specify.
Is there any payable membership/annual fee?
I am from a private company, if I wish to make use of the facilities at the library, how much is the annual membership fee?
Effective from June 2014, corporate users no longer need to pay an annual/monthly/weekly subscription fee to access ISEAS Library and consult its reference materials on site. Upon completing registration, the user can proceed to browse the Library collections on open shelves.
How do I apply for the membership?
A first time user is required to fill up a simple registration form, which is available for download from the library webpage. Alternatively, a copy of the registration form can be requested at the library service counter. First time users will need to bring along one of the following items below for completion of their registration.
-Student card
-Staff Pass
Will the Library be closed during lunch hour?
ISEAS Library is open from 8.30am to 5.45pm on Mondays to Thursdays and from 8.30am to 5.15pm on Fridays. Please refer to http://www.iseas.edu.sg/opening-hours-public-holidays.cfm for a list of public holidays in which ISEAS Library will be closed.
Why does the Library not accept payment by Nets/Credit Cards?
We do not have the facility to process credit card payments due to the low volume of Nets/Credit Card transactions and the need to pay a usage fee to the bank.
Photocopying of Library Materials
Library users are allowed to photocopy published materials found in ISEAS Library in accordance with the Singapore Copyright Act. For unpublished materials, such as private papers, conference documents and academic papers/thesis, the citation and copying of such materials (including digital scanning and capturing) is subject to the respective deposit agreements.

- Food and Drinks
There are water dispenser for users on each floor of the Library. Food and soft drinks are not permitted in the reading area of the Library as any accidental spillage could attract insects, including ants, that may harm the collections.
- Handling original documents/photographs in the Library
The Library seeks users' cooperation to wear lint-free cotton or latex gloves when handling original documents (including private papers) and photographs/colour slides. This is to prevent fingerprints, body oil from fingers, nail polish, residual chemicals from hand cream, sweat, etc from being transferred onto the materials while handling them with one's bare hands. Paper-based materials are sensitive to such materials as these materials can cause physical deterioration to the fabric structure and inks on the paper. Although these contaminants may not be visible on paper, their presence could be illustrated by the photograph below taken on an iPad.

This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
When you group a raster-based picture (also called a bitmap) with another group of objects, the picture may become blurred. If you group an object with another group that contains a raster-based picture, that raster-based picture may also become blurred.
NOTE: A raster-based picture is a picture that is composed of pixels, or colored blocks, lined up in a row. Raster-based pictures are typical of photographs and scanned images, and include pictures of the file type .bmp, .jpg, and .gif. The other type of picture file is a vector-based picture. Vector-based pictures are defined by mathematical formulas instead of colored blocks lined up in a row. Examples of these file types are .dxf and .plt files, as well as some .wmf files.
This blurring behavior occurs if you group a raster-based picture in a group that contains another group of objects (also called a multiple group).
For example, if you group two circles (by clicking both objects, and then clicking Group on the Arrange menu), and then group this group with a raster-based picture, the raster-based picture will be blurred. However, if you group the circles and the picture all at once, the blurring does not occur.
If you must group a raster-based picture with any other object, make sure that none of the objects, including the raster-based picture, are part of another group. You can check any object to see whether it is part of a group by using the following method:
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000.

text: We are being watched. Scotland - usually an ignored and barely acknowledged corner of Europe - is suddenly at the centre of a slow-burning global news story. However we vote in 2014, the very fact we are having a democratic say at all sends a powerful message to the rest of the world. Some people overseas are inspired by this. Others fear it. Many, many more are simply intrigued by the very idea that the United Kingdom, one of the planet's oldest states, could be dismantled and the half-forgotten nation-state of Scotland reappear. So what's the point of this blog? To try, as Burns suggested, "to see oursels as others see us", to tap into the growing interest in Scotland overseas. Why? Because sometimes foreign observers will tell us something about ourselves we don't know.

Originally published at Newsweek by Jeff Stein on 1/14/15
Just before Christmas, former FBI special agent Mark Rossini greeted me with his usual good cheer when we met for drinks in a midtown Manhattan restaurant. He told me his life had finally taken a turn for the better. He's spending most of his time in Switzerland, where he works for a private global corporate-security firm. "Life's good," he said.
Good, but with a few major changes. Rossini was drinking club soda instead of the expensive cabernets he quaffed when I first knew him as a high-flying FBI official in Washington a decade ago, when he was a special assistant to the bureau's chief spokesman, John Miller (now with the New York City Police Department). "I've cut back," he said. "Feeling good."
But when I ask him how he's really doing, the light in his eyes dims. "Well, you know, I still miss the job," he said, shaking his head. A boneheaded move—showing confidential FBI documents to his actress-flame Linda Fiorentino, who said she was researching a script about L.A. wiretapper extraordinaire Anthony Pellicano—cost him his career in 2008 and nearly landed him in jail.
"What's past is past," he said. But not all of it. He quickly told me of an encounter the day before on a street in Yonkers, where he keeps an apartment. He'd run into a close family friend who'd lost relatives at the World Trade Center on 9/11. "Mark," she… Continue reading

After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.
But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress' investigative report on 9/11 dealing with "specific sources of foreign support" for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.
It was kept secret and remains so today.
President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Text isn't just blacked-out here and there in this critical-yet-missing middle section. The pages are completely blank, except for dotted lines where an estimated 7,200 words once stood (this story by comparison is about 1,000 words).
A pair of lawmakers who recently read the redacted portion say they are "absolutely shocked" at the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks.
Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) can't reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law. So they've proposed Congress pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, "Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001."
Some information already has leaked from the classified section, which is based on both CIA and FBI documents, and it points back to Saudi Arabia, a presumed ally.
The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found "incontrovertible evidence" that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudi hardliners, but high-level diplomats and… Continue reading

The CIA has released nearly 800 pages of newly declassified documents on Al Qaeda and the September 11 attacks.
The documents were released in response to an INTELWIRE Freedom of Information Act request for material referenced by the 9/11 Commission. Numerous documents were withheld, and those that were released have been heavily redacted. Despite this, it is highly unusual to receive any material from the CIA in response to a FOIA request, and they provide a fascinating look at the state of the agency's understanding of Al Qaeda over the years.
While much of the material has been previously described, by the 9/11 Commission and other sources, seeing the actual documents still has an impact. For instance, the following extracts: (See source).
The documents are presented here in two large PDFs. Each individual document is bookmarked within the PDF. Almost everything in the release was previously classified secret or top secret. The CIA also released several items already available on its Web site or in public testimony, which I omitted.
The documents are presented here in no particular order but I grouped material near the top related to warnings about the activities of Khalid Al Mihdhar, one of the hijackers, and material related to 1998 efforts to capture or kill Osama bin Laden together in roughly chronological order.
You are welcome to report from these documents, but you must credit Intelwire.com. If you wish to break out a specific document for a major media outlet, contact me.…Continue reading
By Eric Lichtblau
WASHINGTON — For more than a decade, questions have lingered about the possible role of the Saudi government in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, even as the royal kingdom has made itself a crucial counterterrorism partner in the eyes of American diplomats.
Now, in sworn statements that seem likely to reignite the debate, two former senators who were privy to top secret information on the Saudis' activities say they believe that the Saudi government might have played a direct role in the terrorist attacks.
"I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11th attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia," former Senator Bob Graham, Democrat of Florida, said in an affidavit filed as part of a lawsuit brought against the Saudi government and dozens of institutions in the country by families of Sept. 11 victims and others. Mr. Graham led a joint 2002 Congressional inquiry into the attacks.
His former Senate colleague, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, a Democrat who served on the separate 9/11 Commission, said in a sworn affidavit of his own in the case that "significant questions remain unanswered" about the role of Saudi institutions. "Evidence relating to the plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th attacks has never been fully pursued," Mr. Kerrey said.
Their affidavits, which were filed on Friday and have not previously been disclosed, are part of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit… Continue reading

Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus (The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol 9, Issue 47 No 2)
I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency [the National Security Agency] and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return." — Senator Frank Church (1975)
I would like to discuss four major and badly understood events – the John F. Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11. I will analyze these deep events as part of a deeper political process linking them, a process that has helped build up repressive power in America at the expense of democracy.
In recent years I have been talking about a dark force behind these events — a force which, for want of a better term, I have clumsily called a "deep state," operating both within and outside the public state. Today for the first time I want to identify part of that dark force, a part which has operated for five decades or more at the edge of the public state. This part of the dark force has a name not invented by me: the Doomsday Project, the Pentagon's name for the emergency planning "to keep the White House and Pentagon running during and after a nuclear war or some other major crisis."1
My point is a simple and important one: to show that the Doomsday Project of the 1980s, and the earlier emergency planning that developed into it, have played a role in the background of all the deep events I shall discuss.…Continue reading

News of the Saudi Crown Prince passing in the U.S. and his new successor to the post warrant a refresher on the attempts to name them in 9/11 lawsuits years ago.
Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the Crown Prince to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, died just a weeks ago in a New York hospital due to ill health. The world's largest oil-exporting nation has quickly found an heir to the Crown Prince, a position directly under the most powerful of the King. The new Crown Prince has been named as Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, brother of the deceased Crown Prince Sultan. Both were half-brothers to the current King of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, and both are a part of the powerful Sudairi Seven.

The old Crown Prince Sultan is the father of Prince Bandar. Bandar is known to many in the world as "Bandar Bush" for his extremely close relationship with the Bush family. Bandar served as the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the U.S. from 1983 until 2005. The Royal family's relationship with the Bush family goes back even further.

A growing number of former government insiders — all responsible officials who served in a number of federal posts — are now on record as doubting ex-CIA director George Tenet's account of events leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Among them are several special agents of the FBI, the former counterterrorism head in the Clinton and Bush administrations, and the chairman of the 9/11 Commission, who told us the CIA chief had been "obviously not forthcoming" in his testimony and had misled the commissioners.
These doubts about the CIA first emerged among a group of 9/11 victims' families whose struggle to force the government to investigate the causes of the attacks, we chronicled in our 2006 documentary film "Press for Truth." At that time, we thought we were done with the subject. But tantalizing information unearthed by the 9/11 Commission's
final report and spotted by the families (Chapter 6, footnote 44) raised a question too important to be put aside:
Did Tenet fail to share intelligence with the White House and the FBI in 2000 and 2001 that could have prevented the attacks? Specifically, did a group in the CIA's al-Qaida office engage in a domestic covert action operation involving two of the 9/11 hijackers, that — however legitimate the agency's goals may have been — hindered the type of intelligence-sharing that could have prevented the attacks?…Continue reading

Despite threats of prosecution from the CIA, the makers of 9/11: Press For Truth have released their new documentary podcast Who Is Rich Blee?
Punitive Actions Are Once Again Being Taken Against the Wrong People
In Boiling Frogs Post's recent interview with Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy, Sibel Edmonds questioned the timing of former Counter-Terrorism Czar, Richard Clarke's willingness to speak out about alleged 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar, and the CIA's knowledge of their whereabouts after the January 2000 Malaysia "terrorist summit." Sibel asked Ray and John, " why now? " We would like to note that the interview with Clarke was actually recorded two years ago, in October 2009. As such, the "why now" question should actually be posed to Ray and John. The real questions for Clarke should be, " why then?… Continue reading
While producing our investigative podcast "Who Is Rich Blee?", intended to be released on Sunday, our team managed to deduce the likely identities of two CIA employees at the heart of a notorious failure in the run up to the September 11th tragedy.
Savvy internet searches based on minimal background details helped us determine candidates for the two CIA employees. When the names were used by our interviewers repeatedly during interviews and never corrected by the interviewees, we began to feel more certain. Ironically, it was the response from CIA that provided final confirmation.
On Thursday, we submitted our script to CIA along with a request to interview the two employees. We wanted to be fair in giving them a chance to tell their sides of the story. Instead, the Agency sent us a message threatening that if we went forward with the names included in the piece that it would be a potential violation of federal criminal law.
A prominent civil liberties attorney has advised us that the law cited, the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, has never been used to convict a journalist. The law pertains to government employees who violate their security clearances, certainly not those who find "classified information" in open-source materials posted on the Net.
The threat of prosecution under this act may be a baseless attempt by CIA to intimidate journalists exposing wrongdoing by their employees. Or it may announce an intention by the U.S. government to dangerously expand precedent in the application… Continue reading

Although the story of the CIA's actions in the run-up to 9/11 is complicated, at a fairly early point in any examination of them it becomes clear the agency committed multiple failures, and that these failures enabled the attacks to go forward. The key issue that remains in dispute ten years on is whether these "failures" were deliberate or simply the product of overwork and incompetence. Making an informed judgment means taking the time to look at all the failures, put them in order, and analyze what it all means.
Perhaps the most comprehensible problem is the scope of the CIA's failings. There was not one error by some lowly neophyte, but a massive string of failures. As Tom Wilshire, one of the key CIA officials involved in the withholding of the information commented to the Congressional Inquiry, "[E]very place that something could have gone wrong in this over a year and a half, it went wrong. All the processes that had been put in place, all the safeguards, everything else, they failed at every possible opportunity. Nothing went right."
In addition, some of the failures were extremely serious. For example, the alleged failure by Alec Station, the CIA's bin Laden unit, to inform CIA Director George Tenet that Flight 77 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar was in the country in August 2001 is simply beyond comprehension. Added to this, the failures were committed by a small group of intelligence officers, centered on Wilshire and his… Continue reading

IF YOU THINK that on the 10th anniversary you know the whole story of 9/11 – and here I'm addressing conspiracy-minded "truthers" and the 13 percent who approved of the job Dick Cheney did as vice president – actually, you don't.
Time has upheld the broad story line of how hijackers loyal to Osama bin Laden hijacked four planes and killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001 – claims about holograms being used to attack buildings instead of jetliners notwithstanding. At the same time, the dictum of famed investigative reporter I.F. Stone about all governments – i.e., they lie – is no less true about 9/11 than any other event.
Here are 10 questions about 9/11 that remain unanswered.
Richard Clarke, the national counterterrorism czar on 9/11, thinks so. In an interview for an upcoming radio documentary, Clarke claimed that top-level CIA officials deliberately withheld from the White House and the FBI knowledge as early as 2000 that two al Qaeda members – Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar – were living in San Diego.
The former anti-terror chief said he believes that the CIA kept the info under wraps because it wanted to recruit the two Saudis to serve as double agents within bin Laden's organization. Instead, the two terrorists ended up hijackers on American Flight 77. George Tenet, who was CIA director, claims that Clarke… Continue reading

Introduction to Chapter 15 of Disconnecting the Dots , for publication at 911Truth.org :
In January 2000, several high-ranking al-Qaeda operatives, including alleged Flight 77 hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, held a summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The meeting was monitored by the CIA and a local Malaysian service, although the agency reportedly failed to exploit this opportunity to learn what bin Laden's organization was planning. In addition, the CIA deliberately withheld information about the two men, in particular that Almihdhar had a US visa, from the FBI. The agency then allegedly suffered the misfortune of losing Almihdhar, Alhazmi and another al-Qaeda operative in Bangkok, Thailand. The surveillance of the Malaysia summit was run by Alec Station, the CIA's bin Laden unit, its chief Richard Blee and his deputy Tom Wilshire. On January 12 and 14 Blee gave his superior, Cofer Black, incorrect briefings about what was happening with the surveillance. Chapter 15 picks up the story on January 15.

One of the main focuses at the 9/11 Timeline recently has been the destruction of a tape of FAA flight controllers' recollections. The tape was made at the FAA's New York Center about an hour and a half after the attacks ended, despite worries about the procedure by a union official and the controllers. However, when New York Center forwarded evidence about the attacks to the FBI the next day, it did not provide the tape , and its existence was not reported to superiors . The controllers then prepared written statements without reviewing the tape , and a union official was concerned whether anyone had heard it. One of the controllers later asked to listen to the taped statement he had made, but his request was denied . When New York Center submitted a formal accident package, the tape was again absent . Although the Center had been told to retain 9/11 evidence , the tape was later destroyed. Following the tape's destruction, the manager who destroyed it was suspended , but did not face criminal charges.…Continue reading

Anthony Hall is like many other 9/11 skeptics. At some point, after examining the events of 9/11 and the international consequences of that foul deed, (particularly the
consequences that befell countries with a predominantly Arab/Muslim population), Mr. Hall decided to speak out. The difference between Hall and most 9/11 skeptics, is that Mr. Hall is a sitting academic at a university in Lethbridge, Alberta, in Canada.
Hall joined a growing list of Canadian academics who have chosen to speak out publicly; John McMurtry , Graeme MacQueen , Michael Keefer , and of course, Michel Chossudovsky , a pioneer in 9/11 skepticism.
He made his debut as a skeptic of the 9/11 Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) on September 6, 2008 in Edmonton, Alberta, with a reading of his paper, The Lies and Crimes of 911 . The paper is an excellent introduction to a series of complex, related studies, that encompass globalization, US imperial tendencies, and false-flag terrorism. Hall is well-versed in these issues, and won an Alberta Book Award for his volume, The American Empire and the Fourth World .
The cover features provocative imagery; Apache-like helicopters in place of stars on the American flag, giving no doubt as to Hall's intent. The image is a very un-subtle, ironic reinterpretation of one of the prime symbols of the American dream; the very banner of Liberty itself is subverted to shock the viewer into a reevaluation of the iconic Red, White and Blue. Just as… Continue reading

The super-secretive National Security Agency has been quietly monitoring, decrypting, and interpreting foreign communications for decades, starting long before it came under criticism as a result of recent revelations about the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program. Now a forthcoming PBS documentary asks whether the NSA could have prevented 9/11 if it had been more willing to share its data with other agencies.
Author James Bamford looked into the performance of the NSA in his 2008 book, The Shadow Factory, and found that it had been closely monitoring the 9/11 hijackers as they moved freely around the United States and communicated with Osama bin Laden's operations center in Yemen. The NSA had even tapped bin Laden's satellite phone, starting in 1996.
"The NSA never alerted any other agency that the terrorists were in the United States and moving across the country towards Washington," Bamford told PBS.
PBS also found that "the 9/11 Commission never looked closely into NSA's role in the broad intelligence breakdown behind the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. If they had, they would have understood the full extent to which the agency had major pieces of the puzzle but never put them together or disclosed their entire body of knowledge to the CIA and the FBI."
In a review of Bamford's book, former senator and 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey wrote, "As the 9/11 Commission later established, U.S. intelligence officials knew that al-Qaeda had held a planning meeting in Malaysia, found out the names of two recruits who had been present — Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi — and suspected that one and maybe both of them had flown to Los Angeles.…Continue reading

The month that changed America?
- 29 June 2015
- From the section US & Canada
Does history change all at once? June 2015 certainly had its singular historic moments - but almost all were the outcome of long-term forces and long-fought battles, say Nick Bryant.
The shelves of American bookstores almost buckle under the weight of titles identifying a single year, season, month, week, day or hour as essential turning points in history's long march.
So one would imagine that publishers are already being inundated with pitches for books bringing together the events of the past few weeks, perhaps under the working titles of "Ten Days in June", "America's Liberal Spring", "The Summer of Love" or "June 2015: The month that changed America."
The narrative almost writes itself. It opens with the cover of the June edition of Vanity Fair, which featured an alluring photograph of Caitlyn Jenner dressed in a silk bodysuit. Jenner, of course, is a one-time Olympic champion, formerly called Bruce, whom most Americans are more used to seeing in an athletics singlet and shorts.
It would encompass two momentous Supreme Court decisions - the first in defence of Obamacare, the second in support of gay marriage. Both were not just victories for President Barack Obama but also triumphs, more broadly, of progressivism.
Charleston shooting: Obama's evolving language on race

Barack Obama has tended to be reticent about race, and left others to attach racial meaning to his presidency.
His public comments on racist atrocities, like Charleston, and racial controversies, like Ferguson, have generally been measured and controlled, as if he is trying to keep a lid on his feelings.

Mitt Romney: The aura of a serial loser
- 30 January 2015

The shiny black hair, the quarterback smile, the lantern jaw. Mitt Romney has never had any difficulty looking like an American president.
Getting voters to elect him to that job has long been a problem. In 2008, he failed in his first attempt to win the Republican presidential nomination partly because he was seen as inauthentic - a moderate Republican, who had served as the governor of liberal Massachusetts, who tried too hard to recast himself as a conservative.
Snowperbole: New Yorkers ask 'Is that it?'

- From the section US & Canada
In the end it was the threat of a monster storm that paralysed New York City, rather than the snowfall itself.
Just five inches were recorded in Central Park, nowhere near the forecast of up to three feet. Warnings, near apocalyptic, that the city faced an extreme weather event of epic and historic proportions, which started with a press conference on Sunday conducted by New York Mayor's Bill de Blasio, now sound alarmist.

The entire idea of ABS brakes is to get maximum braking from both the front and rear brakes when you put the brake pedal to the floor. I'm guessing the OP's problem is for more normal braking. It could be the normal brake bias isn't set up the way they want it. It could also be an issue with the hydroboost. It could also be a sticky caliper or a bad one, air in system, etc. I put rebuilt calipers on the back of my truck and one was defective. So far, my hydroboost system has been fine, but I've read that they can be a problem.

Here's some important info from New Jersey Natural Gas on Ways to Detect a Natural Gas Leak Smell – since natural gas has no scent, a strong odorant that smells like rotten eggs is added to help you detect possible leaks.However, never rely solely on your sense of smell to determine if a natural gas leak exists or if natural gas is present. Some people may not be able to detect the odorant because they have a diminished sense of smell or olfactory fatigue, or because the odor is being masked by other scents in the area. In addition, certain conditions in the pipe and soil may cause the odorant to diminish so that it is not detectable.
Other Signs of a Potential Natural Gas LeakSight – look for dirt blowing into the air, persistent bubbling in standing water, or discolored or dead vegetation around the pipeline area.
Sound – listen for any unusual hissing or roaring sound.
If you smell or suspect a natural gas leak ...
DON'T DELAY, GET AWAY! Evacuate everyone from the building or site immedieately and then call NJNG from a safe location at 800-GAS-LEAK (427-5325). Let us know where you are.

Remember Me
After many years spent in exile from the violence and oppression of apartheid-era South Africa, Masekela returned
20 years ago to help rebuild his homeland. Masekela's live performances continue to demonstrate his status as a
South African musical freedom fighter.
"I come from a nation that has fought very hard for its dignity, liberation, and human freedom," says Masekela. "Yet
as Africans, we've never been able to project our image ourselves. We've been hoodwinked into thinking our culture
is barbaric and savage. A lot of people think progress is what they see on TV. They've been turned into consumers
who don't produce anything. But our heritage is our biggest wealth. It's more diverse and richer than anything else
we have. And it is the only thing that cannot be taken away from us."
"We're coming there to play and make people happy," concludes Masekela. "They dance their asses off at our shows.
They are spiritually uplifted and that's all you can be proud to be a part of. They go out of their way to come to our
shows, so you gotta' make them feel good!"
