Shawn Bailey's "Cherish"
The last thing pop star Trinity Warren expected to find sprawled in the middle of a dark highway was an injured motorcyclist who had crashed dangerously into the path of a moving limousine. Trinity also never expected his body to react or his heart to race when the young man momentarily regained consciousness and stared up with beautiful dove gray eyes.
As Brennan Demarcus lay on the ground preparing to die a beautiful blond-haired angel appeared and looked down on him with concerned ice blue eyes. His body shuttered involuntarily as he closed his eyes. The last thing he remembered thinking was that maybe dying wouldnt be so bad as long as he could fly around the heavens with someone as lovely as the angel that had appeared to take him to meet his maker.

Man City had to do it the hard way against Hull after Vincent Kompany was shown a red card in only the 10th minute, but David Silva's exquisite strike three minutes later gave them a lead to protect.
Edin Dzeko added a late second as Man City moved back up to second place, providing Pellegrini with something to smile about after a week in which they were knocked out of the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.
"It was a very good response in a very difficult week," said Pellegrini.
"We just lost against Wigan and against Barcelona and we needed to win today. Playing with one player less was very difficult.
"It was a good performance because we defended well with the ball and without the ball, and we also had three good chances to score. It was a very professional response from the players."
Pellegrini preferred to focus on City's performance but did suggest that Kompany had a right to feel aggrieved with his dismissal, saying that referee Lee Mason should have given a foul against Nikica Jelavic before the Belgian hauled down the Hull striker.
"It's clear that before Vincent's foul there is a foul from Jelavic that the referee didn't see and didn't whistle for," said Pellegrini.
"Of course Vincent's foul is a red card but there was a foul from Jelavic before. I don't want to talk about the referee. We won the game and we played very well."
City started the day nine points adrift of leaders Chelsea with three games in hand, and Pellegrini admitted it was crucial to stay in touch.
He said: "We try to respond in the same way we did before.
"Unfortunately it's three weeks since we played in the Premier League so the other teams won their points and we have three games in hand.
"That why it was so important to win the three points today."

I love this place, where can u go these days, bring your own alcohol, have appetizers, main courses and dessert, for $25-$30. Don't expect to have a longleisurely feast, because you eat, drink, and leave. Obviously to be able to offer such cheap food, there needs to be a quick turnover for tables. So go & enjoy with that expectation. Oh and after go to the big gay ice cream place for a delicious treat only a few mins away!
Posted by Bill Fleck on 01/11/2013
Subpar food, it was not even cook, and the service is so poor, they did not even let us eat in peace, keep rushing us while we was eating, the waiter gave us the bill and made us pay before we even finish our food. i do not recommend this place at all.
Posted by Andrew on 08/11/2011
ALL I SPENT WAS $20 but the Waiters were so nice that they gave me free samosas and ice cream, it felt like i ate so much food for just $20. All of my friends loves this place, Small but Really Good Looking Restaurant with Nice Lights and the Chicken Tikka Masala is too Good :-) U Should Drop by and Try it Out!
Posted by anonymous on 01/02/2010
Imagine the poorest meal you have ever had - after going to Panna II, that will be second on the list. The gimicky lights and atmosphere may bring you into the restaurant, but the angry service, rip-off food quality and the hot burning oil spilled down your neck by passing waiters will surely make you wish you hadn't.
Posted by drgomps on 03/05/2009
Love the christmas/pepper light and the birthday song. They have such good deals that you can get appetizer, entree, desert for under $15 and you can bring your own drinks. There are often lines but they feed the customers snacks while they wait and they definitely have a high turnover so you go in and out quickly. But I definitely recommend!
Posted by anonymous on 02/14/2009
well, it was an experience. first they sat our reservation for 6 people at a table for maybe 4 max. the atmosphere was cool and unique but i dont know if it is worth the crappy service to sit through a meal here. you definitely get your meal quickly, and as soon as your done they want you out! we were finishing our wine and they tricked us into standing up and took our table! check out spice cove for a good indian place in the east village, close by, same prices and way better service
Posted by Anthony on 01/30/2009
We affectionately call this place the "tacky place". It's a fun environment, and the BYOB is cool. It's a little hallway lit up with christmas lights, and it's a funny place to take people. The food is ok, not great, but not terrible, and the service is the same. It's a cool place to take an unsuspecting person or a visitor from out of town. You get pretty good value for your money though...it's not very expensive.

Marshall women pull stunning upset over UTEP, 59-47
HUNTINGTON -- The Marshall Thundering Herd women's basketball team shocked UTEP with a 59-47 win over the Miners Thursday night at the Cam Henderson Center.
Marshall (8-15, 2-8 Conference USA) got a stellar performance from Suporia Dickens, who scored 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range, in the win over UTEP (18-5, 6-4).
Shay Weaver also scored 13 for the Herd, while Erica Woods and Leandra King had 12 and 10, respectively.
Woods said she was more proud of her team's defensive effort, holding UTEP to 28 percent shooting and shutting out Kayla Thornton, who averages 15 points a game, from the floor.
Thornton scored a career-low two points, which came from the free throw line.
"Defense wins games," Woods said. "When we play tremendous defense, that's when we start hitting buckets. Good defense leads to good offense."
The Herd hit 10 3-pointers on the night, which ties a season high.
The team also weathered an 8-0 run by UTEP to end the first half, getting the Miners, who had trailed by double digits for most of the first 20 minutes, within six at the break. That run was extended when Anete Steinberga, who led UTEP with 21 points, scored the first four points of the second half.
But Marshall countered, as Woods hit a bucket and then a 3-pointer to get Marshall's offense back on track.
"We're growing up. We gave up two threes in 30 seconds," Marshall head coach Matt Daniel said. "And we went into the half and let (the team) know that they gave up two threes to end the half and they responded.
"We survived it, and we're better for it."
Marshall also responded well when UTEP applied the press, which typically would cause the team to fold up earlier in the season. The Miners were able to get a few turnovers out of the full-court defense, but the Herd eventually cracked it and started moving the ball up the floor for easy transition points.
"We ought to be real comfortable against the press, we've seen it enough times," Daniel said. "We'll see it every game we play for the rest of the year.
"I just think we're maturing and sometimes we're immature and we make mistakes, but as a whole I think we're maturing."
Daniel said he feels like Marshall has the chance to win every time the team takes the floor, but Thursday's win didn't settle in until the final buzzer.
"That's when it becomes real," he said. "Our team will tell you that's me. We floor it, and there's no let up. It's not over until it's over."
Still, Daniel did admit there was a bit of elation in beating a team that won the conference and conference tournament last year, and is in the hunt to do the same this season, although SMU (9-1, C-USA) looks like it might claim the title.
"We were pretty good all over the floor and that's how you beat a good team like UTEP," Daniel said. "UTEP's good, man. I mean they're good. If you asked our team a month ago who the best team in the league was they would have said UTEP. So we beat a team that was good even in our own team's mind."
Daniel said the team hits the practice floor at 8 a.m. Friday to get ready for its next game against UAB, which takes place Sunday at 3 p.m. in Birmingham, Ala.

Please join us for our fall celebration, "Harvest of Crafts"!
Date: Tuesday, November 25
Time: 4:00 pm
Ages: 5 and up
Bring a friend and enjoy!
Hey there, Aldine! I heard there may be some cooler weather rolling into the Houston area this weekend. Just in time, too, because we've got some new Fall and Halloween related titles coming in to the library that are really spooktacular. Come by and take a look. Get ready for Autumn!
Last month, we unveiled our I Spy @ the Library game, and over 100 children participated. As promised, this month we will continue the fun with a new theme. As we go into the fall season, children will have an opportunity to earn a pumpkin die cut, and one prize from the treasure box. Readers and non-reader alike are encouraged to participate.
In Houston, we do not yet see the autumn leaves change in color, but we certainly have the ability to enjoy the fall harvest.
One of the things that I truly look forward to in the fall are apples. I hope that you enjoy the selection of books below; you will find that some focus on a more traditional theme and others are lighthearted and playful.

Review Title
These are really comfortable for me, supporting and encasing my high-arched feet perfectly. They are much more comfortable (and well-constructed!) than the Tevas that I wore to death all too soon. These are great for travelling - they work for both hiking (great grip from the soles) and cities. I'm usually a 6.5; I ordered size 6 and they fit perfectly. If I had gotten a size up, the straps would have been too long, and the heel would have flopped around a bit. I'd always thought I had wide feet, but I guess overall I have 'low volume' feet (kinda boney).

New S.F. Food Policy Boosts Local Farms
New S.F. Food Policy Boosts Local Farms
San Francisco has adopted what may be the country's first county food policy that aims to improve access to healthy food while supporting local agriculture and reducing shipping-related greenhouse gas emissions.
tweetmeme_url = 'http://climatebiz.com/blog/2009/07/09/sf-food-policy';
digg_url = http://climatebiz.com/blog/2009/07/09/sf-food-policy';
Mayor Gavin Newsom issued an executive directive Wednesday ordering all departments to survey the land under their control in order to create an inventory of land that can support community gardens. All city-purchased food for city meetings, schools, jails or homeless shelters must be grown locally with sustainable farming practices. Food vendors with city permits must also meet these requirements.
"The stark reality is that hunger, food insecurity, and poor nutrition are pressing health issues, even in a city as rich and vibrant as San Francisco," said Mayor Newsom in a prepared statement Wednesday. "From the alleviation of hunger, to the need to support local and sustainable agricultural practices, these recommendations form a comprehensive and strategic approach to addressing pressing needs in all sectors of the food system."
The policy must be put in place within six months, and only applies to city departments, not citizens or businesses, according to Joe Arellano, a spokesman from the mayor's office.
The policy has its roots in the recommendations of the San Francisco Urban-Rural Roundtable, a group of stakeholders who worked to create what they call a "sustainable food shed" plan for the region.
When asked how the cash-strapped city would pay for higher-quality organic food, which may carry a price premium, Arellano said the potential savings are two-fold. Food purchased locally saves money through reduced shipping distances and costs, which also trims greenhouse gas emissions. Healthier food may also save the city money on healthcare in the long run: "The city spends a lot of money treating people for diabetes, obesity, heart disease," Arellano said. By promoting healthier food and better eating habits, "we can reduce costs on the back end."
A study released today from the California Center for Public Health Advocacy pegged the economic cost of obesity due to health care costs and lost productivity in San Francisco at more than $1 billion. Obesity costs the state an estimated $41 billion annually.
San Francisco launched a pilot program last July that created the Victory Garden near City Hall to test the feasibility of turning unused space into an organic food production zone, Arellano said, noting that First Ladies Michelle Obama and Maria Shriver have embraced the concept. Before that, the city funded gardening projects at local schools to incorporate these learnings into curricula. Arellano suspects the city's Parks and Recreation Department will take a lead role in future community garden projects, along with local nonprofits, which have in the past entered into contracts to take over gardening responsibilities.
Other aspects of the new San Francisco food policy include augmenting food stamp purchasing power with philanthropic funds. The city began working with farmers' markets in 2002 to allow the use of food stamps; an ordinance passed in 2007 requires food stamp acceptance. The program has been a success: Food stamp sales have increased more than 20 percent annually since 2003, while April and May sales have grown by between 70 percent and 75 percent compared to the year before.
There is also a trade mission aspect to help local restaurants and food vendors find farms from which they can buy produce directly, which Arellano sees as a way of creating awareness among local restaurants. Already the city's composting program, which just became mandatory in June, sends tons of food scraps to local farms and wineries, which in turn produce famous wines and high-quality food sold and consumed in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Discussion in 'Houston Dynamo' started by crocken, Feb 19, 2013.
Wouldn't trading Watson open up an int'l slot on our roster?
People complaining that we have too many quality players on the bench is crazy. That is exactly the problem that champions have because they have enough personnel to solve any situation that comes up. It does seem like Dom really wants to play the 4-3-3 with a Davis-Rico-OBG combination in the middle. I think a true left winger really gives us a lot of options tactically. You can also slide OBG on the right wing until Cummings/Carr are healthy and play Barnes/Camargo into that other central slot.
Oh, no doubt he isn't the same player before the surgeries. His potential was easily on par with anyone at a decent Premier League club. That's not to say he still isn't a good player --- he is. But he's definitely had to tweak his game. Driver's less likely to blaze by two or three defenders to whip in a cross like he used to. However, he still has good speed and has learned to use it more appropriately and put himself in better spots to cross instead of relying on speed, speed, speed. I think he'll do well in MLS especially with the players the Dynamo have.
Yeah, but championship teams in other leagues don't have a 2.8 million dollar budget. That being said, I think what most people are talking about is how you get your best players on the pitch and it appears difficult. They are talking about signing a guy who complained about his manager for not being utilized correctly and he is coming to our team where there is no clear starting spot for him? Seems to be odd. The only way to play him in a natural position would be either in Brad's spot or as a winger in a 4-3-3. Either of those moves someone to the bench.
Btw there's now a report by Lovell on the official MLS site. I'm on my phone, so not sure if this link will work:
Hearts obviously has to do something now as his contract is up in June or they get absolutely nothing. There not getting much as it is this close to the end of the season.
The video clips look great - reminds me of Brian Mullan; but clips don't tell the whole story. How old are the clips? Pre-injuries? Alot of injuries it seems. I think the Oasis background music helped to catch Dom's attention .
He is projected to play as a left, right outside midfielder or an inside left midfielder.
You could put him in front of Corey at LM, Move Brad to attacking Mid with Rico / Moffat as DM and Boniek at right mid. If he still has some pace you could pair him with Bruin up high until Cummings is back.
Just a quick question for all you Dynamo faitful. It's been said/mentioned in the thread an internation spot is becoming available. You guys mentioned trade. Ccould it be that one of your internationals is obtaining his green card opening an international spot?? Omar has his, IIRC, and shouldn't count.
Just saw the article linked above. It doesn't say how an international slot would become open but does imply, from my vantage point, a roster move.
Have not heard any rumblings on that at all.
It could be one of our I-Spots we traded away are returning (you can trade them date specific if you choose) but cannot confirm that either. I contend we need to free up money as well; so to me moving a player makes more sense.
I'll re-phrase the question.
Why would trading Watson require the other team to give up two int'l slots? Why would we trade him for an int'l slot if getting him off the roster opens up an int'l slot for us?
Right. The article says:
Hmmm. We should have 6 slots since we traded away 2 of them (that haven't expired). Right now we have Barnes, Camargo, Boniek Garcia, Taylor, and Watson using 5 of them. Cummings and Moffat have green cards. Who else is using a slot? Jason Johnson?
ah yes, misunderstood what was being understood. like troutseth said above you would have to get an low-paid 'mericun back for it to work.
BTW in my opinion with current technology, a knee injury is no longer a death knell for a soccer player. even if he's a step slower he had a few to lose to begin with, also look at the feet and the hips.
Or a draft pick, or allocation money.
The problem with trading Watson is that there has to be a team that wants him. If he's the least wanted player here then there probably isn't high demand for him from other teams. And if the other teams know we need to trade him to sign a player then they may try to get more from us than they usually could.
If Watson isn't guaranteed then I'd rather cut him than trade Camargo or Barnes.
Ok, but that's not any impediment to trading Watson, right? Another team losing two int'l slots would be, but giving up a draft pick or cheap domestic player is standard trade practice.
Edit: I agree with DrL's point above about Watson's trade value. If his contract isn't guaranteed, then I'd just cut him. Free up a bit of salary, even if we don't need to free up his int'l spot.
Camargo looking good in preaseason.
Watson for allocation/draft pick I think is most likely
A few things on making this work:
1) It sound like it is a loan thru June then sign to MLS deal once the window opens, so maybe that could provide some flexibility with dollars and how it is characterized for salary budget purposes, which of course this presumes we are using allocation money to buy down the loan. This may just defer the issue on salary a few months.
2) The international slot deal is always weird how they count guys with green cards and since Johnson is GA does that override his international status?
3) For trades I guess you could look at anyone, but realistically the way to look at one of these crowded house deals is: "who isn't on a guaranteed deal?". I would guess Watson, maybe Barnes, maybe Camargo, the young guys. All of them could probably be cut but Watson would seem to be the easiest one, however he actually represents decent value as a roster player (warts and all).
4) I could see Camargo getting dumped if he isn't on a guaranteed deal. I just sense once you've been in Dom's doghouse/nuclear bunker you never make it all the way out.
It's great that we all have Watson leaving in a trade, but I would be hard pressed to find a single team in MLS that may think Watson will help them win this season or next. I would think Camargo or Barnes would be the only options with trade value. Johnson might as well, but you would then be trading away a player that slipped to you in the draft. That doesn't bode well for the player IMHO.
Got to love MLS were we all know the rules, but truthfully no one can tell us the number of international slots currently used by the team or when Houston (if ever) gets back the international slots they previously traded.
How is Camargo's deal structured?
The issue is not having a player with Camargo's skill in the doghouse and on the bench. The issue is having a $200k player of any caliber in the doghouse and on the bench. The 1 August 2012 numbers had him $192,000 base $202,000 guaranteed. Would a deal that relatively large not be guaranteed?
I think the answer is "No, they somehow eventually end up in LA".
Depends on his agent and what was negotiated when he was acquired and then any re-negotiations. MLS veterans (a combination of age and years in the league, but generally guys with 3-4 years MLS experience) have guaranteed deals under the collective bargaining agreement. Other higher-profile players (like Boniek) usually have guarantees of some sort. So most of the Dynamo roster is essentially locked-in in terms of salary budget for the year since I assume everyone on the roster has had their options picked up for 2013 (except the trialists).
The only guys that don't have guaranteed deals are likely the lower draft picks, young guys, and the foreign signings with less than 3 years' MLS experience. I presume some foreign guys might have a $180K salary but only a $100K guarantee if the team wants to cut them. Not sure on that.
Maybe a better way to put it is at some point in dealing with other teams in MLS it becomes a zero-sum game because so many guys have guarantees you can't trade for scrubs and then cut them just to dump salary.
I think if it's guaranteed or not is only based on how long he's been in the league. Also, he restructured his deal this offseason so I'm assuming he's making less.
makes the preseason game tomorrow that much more anticipated, don't it?
Westside Cosmo:
GA deals can't override Green Card status, by law. If you have a GC, you're a domestic. If not, you're an international.
If JJ sticks (good assumption) then we have no I Slots unless we dump/trade someone or they get a greencard.
My dastardly plan is coming to fruition and Dom is taking my advise to go ElChelis on the Dynamo and turn it into a United Kingdom and Former Colonies club to counter that lower left coast club.

1 cup

crushed pineapple in juice

shredded coconut
1/4 teaspoon
6 ounces
reduced-fat pina colada yogurt
1/4 cup
I did not have pina colada yogurt, I used equal amounts vanilla greek yogurt. The kids and I thought this was really tasty. The coconut, pineapple, raisins and yogurt give it just enough sweetness without going overboard.
I didn't have the pina colada yogurt, so I used plain nonfat greek yogurt and added a bit of honey. I also used golden raisins (personal preference) and reduced fat mayo. I made a carrot cake today, and this was the perfect recipe to use up the leftover shredded carrots and pineapple!

'Supernatural' Executive Producer Robert Singer: We Are Working on a Spinoff
by Paulette Cohn | July 23, 2013 at 1:33 PM | Supernatural, TV News
The CW will be launching its "Vampire Diaries" spinoff "The Originals" this fall on Tuesday, October 15th, and now word comes out of Comic-Con that the network will also be taking a look at a possible spinoff of its long-running "Supernatural" series, which is premiering its ninth season this fall.
"We are doing a spinoff later in the year in Episode 20," executive producer Robert Singer revealed in the "Supernatural" press room at Comic-Con. "There may be a new incarnation of it. The boys are in the story, but it is a little more urban setting than the back roads of America that we have been doing."
Longtime "Supernatural" writer Andrew Dabb, who has been with the show since 2008, has been given the task of crafting the episode, which will serve as the backdoor pilot for the potential series.
"We are in negotiations with the network, we have to have the money to do it, all the normal stuff, but it is planned," Singer added.
"Supernatural" will return for its ninth season on a new day and time slot: Tuesday, Oct. 15th at 9/8c on The CW. Both Jensen Ackles, who plays Dean, and Jared Padalecki, who plays Sam, have an additional year on their contracts, so a tenth season is a definite possibility.
"We will shoot for ten and see what happens," Singer said. "For me, the magic number is 200 episodes, so we will see what happens."

U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms – Larry Bell – The Bell Tells for You – Forbes.
December 8, 2009
On November 30, 2009, the Bloomington Herald-Times made the following announcement:
"This week, HeraldTimesOnline.com will launch its new gun permit database. You'll be able to search gun permit records by county, city or town and street."
The Herald-Times has begun receiving calls and emails, and their response is a defiant defense of their online gun permit database.
Anyone who visits the newspaper website will be able to search the number of permits on a given street or neighborhood. Although at this point the names and house numbers are not listed, the newspaper's website treats law-abiding Indiana gun owners like sex offenders on a searchable database.
It is NRA's firm belief that there is no public good served by the publishing or cataloguing private citizens' gun ownership information, and that more harm is done by such an action. Law-abiding Hoosiers should not be subjected to the same treatment as sex offenders, and if the newspaper won't listen to their constituents and customers, then NRA Members and Indiana gun owners should send a financial message by cancelling their subscriptions to the Bloomington Herald-Times.
Please contact the Bloomington Herald-Times to respectfully voice your displeasure at the irresponsible action the newspaper has made.

The establishment media and the Southern Poverty Law Center are again floating the talking point that militia groups and worried gun owners are growing in the United States and that this could portend a violent act of domestic terror, despite the fact that every major domestic terror attack in the 1990's was carried out by the federal government itself, from Ruby Ridge, to Waco, to the Oklahoma City bombing.
"Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends," reports the Associated Press. "The stress of a poor economy and a liberal administration led by a black president are among the causes for the recent rise, the report from the Southern Poverty Law Center says. Conspiracy theories about a secret Mexican plan to reclaim the Southwest are also growing amid the public debate about illegal immigration."
The article cites people who own guns and implies that they are domestic terrorists or cop killers in the vein of Richard Poplawski, the Pittsburgh man who gunned down three officers during a domestic dispute earlier this year.
The report cites a Homeland Security "threat projection" which states "White supremacists and militias are more violent and thus more likely to conduct mass-casualty attacks on the scale of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing."
Of course, the irony behind all this is the fact that all the major acts of violence in connection with the militia movement during the 1990's were committed by the government and federal agents.
It was an FBI sniper that killed Randy Weaver's son and also his wife as she was holding their 10-month-old baby while running for cover during the Ruby Ridge standoff in 1992.
It was the BATF that burned the Branch Davidian ranch to the ground, killing seventy-six people including more than 20 children and two pregnant women, during the Waco massacre in 1993.
And it was high level FBI officials that groomed Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh in the run up to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in 1995.
McVeigh's accomplice Terry Nichols' revelation that McVeigh was being steered by a high-level FBI official are supported by a plethora of evidence that proves McVeigh did not act alone and that authorities had prior warnings and were complicit in the bombing.
The Deseret Morning News named the FBI agent at Larry Potts, but that information was later sealed by the court.
The affidavit was filed in a lawsuit brought by attorney Jesse Trentadue, whose brother Kenneth was tortured and beaten to death in an Oklahoma City federal prison in 1995. Authorities claimed Trentadue had committed suicide but he was being held in a suicide proof cell at the time and autopsy photos of his body showed he had been shocked with a stun gun, bruised, burned, sliced and then hung.
Jesse Trentadue has amassed evidence that his brother was mistaken for one of Timothy McVeigh's alleged bombing accomplices and in attempting to get him to talk, federal agents went too far and then tried to instigate a cover-up of the murder.
During the process of his lawsuit, Trentadue was able to receive documents with names blacked out that show the FBI's OKC bombing informants were conducting armed robberies with Timothy McVeigh in order to fund the construction of the fertilizer bomb used in the attack on the federal building.
"One of the foreign informants was actually the explosives instructor who taught him how to make the bomb," said Trentadue, confirming that Nichols told him the criminal activities were part of a process of creating a ledger or a storyboard to which the government's version of events could later be pinned to.
The documents also show that McVeigh called Elohim City two days before the bombing asking for help. Four months before the bombing, an FBI informant told his superiors of the attack plan and said that the Alfred P. Murrah building had been scouted.
Just like 9/11, the official story of the Oklahoma City Bombing, that McVeigh alone carried out the attack using a fertilizer truck bomb, is contradicted by a plethora of eyewitness account as well as physical and circumstantial evidence.
– In early April 1995 a Ryder truck identical to the one used in the bombing was filmed by a pilot during an overflight of of an area near Camp Gruber-Braggs, Oklahoma. A June 17th, 1997 Washington Post article authenticates the photos as being exactly what they appear to be, photos of a Ryder truck in a clandestine base at Camp Gruber-Braggs. Why were the military in possession of a Ryder truck housed in a remote clandestine army base days before the Alfred P. Murrah bombing?
– Multiple reports of Arabs at the scene assisting McVeigh were ignored and surveillance tapes were withheld under national security. The likely reason for this was the fact that Bush senior and Clinton were responsible for bringing in nearly 1,000 Iraqi soldiers captured by U.S. forces during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, some of whom were involved in the bombing.
– The FBI claimed McVeigh scouted the Alfred P. Murrah building weeks before the bombing and yet on the morning of the attack he stopped at a local gas station to ask directions, lending credibility to the new claims that he was being controlled by other conspirators and that the target of the bombing had been changed.
– Original reports of two explosions and several failed devices being defused by bomb squads were buried by the establishment as the official explanation that McVeigh acted alone was pushed. Scientific analysis conducted by General Benton K. Partin revealed core columns were blown out from within the building and the extensive damage to the Alfred P. Murrah building was completely inconsistent with the explanation of a single and relatively weak fertilizer truck bomb.
– Many eyewitnesses reported that bomb squads in full reaction gear were seen around the building immediately before the blast. Police officer Terence Yeakey, who helped save dozens of victims, was one such witness. Yeakey compiled extensive files on his observations but was later found with his throat and wrists slashed having also been shot in the head after he had told friends he was being followed by authorities.
– Several individuals received prior warning that the bombing was about to take place. Bruce Shaw, who rushed to the Murrah building to find his wife who was employed there with the Federal Credit Union, testified that an ATF agent told him that ATF staff had been warned on their pagers not to come to work that day.
– The aftermath of the bombing led to the passage of the Omnibus Crime Bill and the demonization of the 'Patriot Movement', which was spreading like wildfire as opposition to federal government abuse grew following the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco. The consequences of the Oklahoma City Bombing effectively dismantled the Patriot Movement before the turn of the century.
This is the true history of "domestic terrorism" and the militia movement. In every instance, the terrorism has been carried out by the government and the militia movement or the patriot movement have either been the victims or the patsies. This is key should the Obama administration attempt to stage another false flag and blame it on patriots in an attempt to neutralize the groundswell of grass roots outrage currently spreading like wildfire across the country in response to the march of big government and the loss of liberties.

The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, is offering $1,000 to anybody who anonymously provides information on "illegal guns" in the city. In a video on posted on the City of Newark web page, the "Honorable" Cory A. Booker declares guns on the streets are unacceptable and he is offering the cash incentive to snitches.
See the video on the City of Newark, New Jersey website.
However, there is a very obvious problem with the mayor's program — how will the snitches tell the difference between an illegal and legal gun? How will the police tell the difference between a gang-banger with an illegal gun and a citizen exercising his or her right under the Second Amendment?
The federal government encourages the sort of snitch behavior promoted by Newark's mayor.
Greedy snitches will call in "tips" on everybody who owns a firearm. In fact, Booker's video would have us believe all firearms are illegal. Booker makes the distinction near the end of the video, not that it matters — the distinction will be lost on snitches interested only in pocketing a thousand bucks (the mayor waves a fantail of cash in the video to make his point and entice the snitches).
It is a situation destined for tragedy. How will the police and gung-ho SWAT teams tell the difference between legal and illegal firearms? How many innocent people will be arrested, harassed, treated like criminals for the crime of owning a firearm? New Jersey has a concealed carry law. How many people exercising that right will be attacked by Booker's police? How many of them will have their legal weapons confiscated? How many of them will be shot down by trigger-happy cops?
Finally, this country's insane "zero tolerance" drug laws are the primary reason there are gang-bangers on the streets with illegal weapons killing each other and innocents caught up in the crossfire.
Booker would do better to decriminalize drugs in his city instead of creating a snitch culture that will ultimately end up in more dead people.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF) agents are in the midst of fanning out across Texas in order to conduct house by house investigations into what the agency deems numerous "suspicious" firearms transactions and as a means to combat "narco-terrorism" along the U.S. /Mexican border.
In fact, the "suspicious" transaction searches are so loosely defined, that BATF agents ended up questioning a Houston area pastor who previously purchased two handguns for target practice, which is then flippantly chalked up as "hard to believe". Additionally, interagency cooperation between the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the BATF have led to warrantless airplane surveillance of vehicles along the border.
After speaking to five offices within the agencies and being told by several agents they felt "uncomfortable" with my line of questioning, Special Agent, Public Information Officer Perot of the BATF, indicated that aerial surveillance does not require a warrant due to it taking place with the "public sphere" thereby meaning individuals should have no expectation of privacy.
Perhaps even more alarming to Constitutionalists and civil libertarians than an "eye in the sky" with carte blanche authority to surveil, is the fact that the door to door firearms checks come at the behest of a foreign government. In 2008 alone, the Mexican government requested the BATF track down the original owner of 7,500 firearms used in drug crimes at American taxpayer expense.
"Ever turning up the heat on cartels, our law enforcement and military partners in the government of Mexico have been working more closely with the ATF by sharing information and intelligence,"
Kenneth Melson
Acting Director
Moreover, federal agents lament the tedious difficulty in conducting door to door firearm checks due to a current federal law prohibiting the use of a centralized database for gun owners. Alternatively, Mr. Eric Pratt of "Gun Owners of America" believes that a centralized database would only end up further infringing upon the inherent rights of law abiding gun owners. He goes on to state that criminals will still develop and expand avenues in order to arm themselves regardless of a behemoth centralized registry, just as they have after each previous "needed" addition to the nation's gun laws. Further, by his analysis this is merely another attempt by federal authorities to scapegoat lawful gun owners when the crux of the issue is really one of border control, or lack thereof.

Some cool news for users of Borland/Codegear/Emarcadero Delphi and C++ Builder. Seems like Delphi 2009 (and presumably C++ Builder 2009) has been released(!) and is available for pre-order now.
A list of what's new can be found here, along with some video demos. Robust Unicode support is one of the big things, but there are also IDE improvements and some nice component upgrades.
I'm a fan of C++ Builder myself, and many of my larger programs are built using it.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A stylish boutique hotel in the heart of East Hampton with a restaurant and lounge
The moment you enter the front door, you'll get a sense of the iconic Hamptons scene. While some nearby inns make you feel a million miles from Manhattan, this does the opposite with its modern design and sophisticated, see-and-be-seen crowd. Though some guests have their noses in the air, staff members -- many who are Scandinavian -- fit the quintessential bed & breakfast-style hospitality. Enjoy further home comforts of a B&B while relaxing from the quaint front deck, strolling the Chef's Garden, or finding Zen in the Buddha garden.
A historic year-round cottage a short walk to the village of East Hampton
Once you take that memorable left turn on Montauk Highway to enter East Hampton, the Maidstone -- a sprawling cottage close to town and beaches -- will come into view. The white-and-green awning is noticeable from the main thoroughfare where traffic can be a snarl, especially in summer months.
Choose from one of the 19 individually themed rooms, suites, and cottages named after an iconic Scandinavian figure
Rooms have individualized decor and are named after famous Scandinavian personalities (there is an Edvard Munch Room and a Carl Von Linne Freestanding Cottage, for example). Rooms tend to be on the smaller side, while suites offer a seating area and a bit more space. Private cottages are separate from the main building and have their own entrances, as well as wood-burning fireplaces and private blue-stone patios.
A dog-friendly property with amenities that appeal to chic Hamptonites
A high-end restaurant and lounge open year-round
The Living Room restaurant and lounge -- open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- is considered a hot spot in East Hampton. When not using their own chef's garden in the back, the kitchen will choose organic ingredients from local producers.
This historic yet chic property in the center of East Hampton appeals to the stylish Hamptonite crowd with 16 rooms/suites, and three cottages decorated in Scandinavian design. Owned by a Swedish entrepreneur with 20 hotels around the world, this one is just steps from the village and a bike ride to the beach (with free beach cruiser loaners available). The pretty front porch, trendy restaurant, and distinct amenities (such as doggie menus and yoga classes in the Buddha garden) make this a popular choice for those who have money to spend.

Same-sex marriage
The Anglican Church of Canada
(a.k.a. ACC, and l'�glise Anglicane du Canada) is part of a world-wide Anglican
Communion which
includes the Episcopal Church, USA in the United States, the Church of England in
England, and dozens of other provinces.
In the 2001 census, about 2 million Canadian adults (6.9%) identified themselves as
Anglicans. The ACC has 800,000 registered members spread across its 30 dioceses. They are the fourth largest religious group in the country, behind
the Roman Catholic Church, persons of no religion, and those identifying with
the United Church of Canada.
Priests in the Anglican Communion have blessed marriages, dogs, cats,
buildings, apartments, houses, boats, cars, etc. However, as of 2012-OCT, most are not permitted to bless the relationships of committed, loving, same-sex
couples, except in a few maverick dioceses. A same-sex couple with a valid marriage license from their Canadian province or territory will be turned away if they ask their priest to marry them.
The General Synod meets every three years and is made up of lay persons,
priests and bishops from each diocese.
Historically, major ethical conflicts like the abolition of
slavery, decriminalization of contraceptives,
ordination of women, permitting inter-racial
marriage, etc. have been settled first by
liberal/progressive religious faith groups, and eventually by conservative groups. Blessings of same-sex
relationships and ordination of priests who are in committed same-sex
relationships are already permitted within a few liberal faith groups in
Canada -- notably the United Church of Canada and congregations affiliated with the
Canadian Unitarian Council. Change of these policies have not begun to be considered by conservative
Christian faith groups. It is the mainline denominations in North America which are under
extreme stress over whether to grant equal rights for gays and lesbians. This
conflict is threatening to split the Anglican Church of Canada and other
The growing schism within the worldwide Anglican Communion offers an excellent example
of the influence of local culture on religious beliefs:
Yet both groups base their beliefs largely on the Bible: the
former group on a literal interpretation of the six "clobber" passages so often
used to oppress gays lesbians and bisexuals; the latter group on very different interpretation of those same clobber passages. For example:
Liberals also base their acceptance of loving, committed same-sex relationships on the Bible's
themes of justice and love, the acceptance of the findings of human sexuality researchers, and the conclusions of psychologists and psychiatrists.
The 2007 General Synod asked the Anglican Church of Canada's Faith, Worship and Ministry Committee to "... engage the church in conversation on the broad issue of human sexuality in all of its complexity, using the lenses of scripture, reason, tradition and science." [Emphasis ours] These are the four traditional criteria that the Anglican Communion has used in the past when faced with conflict over policy. However, it is a recipe for difficulty, if not disaster, because there is often disagreement over:
Provinces within the Anglican Communion have handled conflicts involving major change in the past, notably over the morality of human slavery, the status of women, female ordination as priests, female consecration as bishops. Each time, their decision advanced equality, civil rights, and justice for women or minorities. Eventually, the Communion has emerged from the conflicts strengthened. A few generations after each decision, very few if any Anglicans would be willing to reverse the change. However, the conflict over acceptance of homosexuality is a particularly difficult one to settle. The unity of the Communion and even the unity with some Provinces are threatened with schism.

National Football Museum
TODAY, The National Football Museum proudly announce that another TEN football legends are to receive one of the highest honours in football – an induction into the its Hall of Fame.
Matt Le Tissier – possibly Southampton's greatest ever player, Cliff Jones – member of the Tottenham double-winning side, and Mike Summerbee – one of the 'Holy Trinity' in the great 1968-70 Manchester City team, will all be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a prestigious award ceremony on 25 September 2013.
They'll be joined by former Chelsea and Man Utd midfielder Ray Wilkins, Leeds United legend Eddie Gray as well as Sheila Parker, the first women's England captain, and Jack Taylor, the Englishman who refereed the 1974 World Cup Final, and first referee to take a place in the Hall of Fame.
Legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel will also collect his Hall of Fame trophy.
A posthumous award will also be made to Raich Carter, who captained Sunderland to League and FA Cup wins in the 1930's. David Clarke, England's record goal scorer in blind football completes the line up.
They all join a host of other famous football faces like Sir Alex Ferguson, Alan Ball, Gordon Banks, Cliff Bastin, Jimmy Greaves and Sir Tom Finney, whose achievements are already celebrated with a place on the honour roll.
Inductees are chosen by a panel featuring some of the biggest names in football including the Museum's President Sir Bobby Charlton, Vice President Sir Alex Ferguson, Gordon Taylor and Mark Lawrenson.
These legends will have their achievements celebrated at a charity fundraising Hall of Fame induction celebration at the National Football Museum in Manchester on 25 September.
Former Manchester United goalkeeping legend Peter Schmeichel said: "I am very proud to join the Hall of Fame. Such great goalkeepers have played in England over the years – the likes of Gordon Banks, Peter Shilton and Bert Trautmann. And at Manchester United I was part of such a fantastic team led by Sir Alex."
Cliff Jones added: "I am extremely honoured that I have been chosen to join the NFM Hall of Fame. It is a privilege to be part of such an illustrious list of names in football."
Matt le Tissier stated: "It means a lot that this has been voted for by legends of the game including Sir Bobby Charlton."
And Mike Summerbee said he was "thrilled" to be inducted. "The Manchester City side of 1968-70 is already in the Hall of Fame but it's a privilege to be inducted as an individual player and join team mates Francis Lee and Colin Bell," he added.
Ray Wilkins described his induction as "an honour" and Eddie Gray added: "I played in a great Leeds team that did not always get the credit it deserved. It is nice to see us now being recognised." Sheila Parker admitted she was "a bit nervous at the thought of attending the event."
On the induction of Jack Taylor, who passed away last year, Keith Hackett, ex-head of the Premier League referees said: "Jack was a great referee, a dedicated supporter of young officials, and a real friend. Referees are delighted that one of their profession has been recognised by the NFM Hall of Fame for the first time."
National Football Museum Director Kevin Moore said: "We are delighted to be able to recognise the achievements of these legendary players in this way. We really hope they can all attend the induction dinner in September and we'd love to see fans come along too – it's a rare chance to be close to some of the biggest players in football history. We're also extremely grateful to the PFA for their continued support of the event."
