Pineapple Upside-Down Gingerbread Cake
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- 2 20-ounce cans pineapple chunks in heavy syrup, drained, patted dry with paper towels
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
- 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
- 1 cup whipping cream, beaten to soft peaks
PreparationFor topping:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt 1/4 cup butter in 10-inch-diameter cast-iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium heat. Add 2/3 cup brown sugar and stir until mixture begins to form thick mass, about 4 minutes. Continue cooking, without stirring, until butter mixture spreads and covers bottom of skillet and bubbles appear all over surface, about 6 minutes longer. Remove skillet from heat. Arrange pineapple chunks close together in concentric circles atop sugar mixture in skillet.
For cake:
Sift first 8 ingredients into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat molasses, golden brown sugar, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract in large bowl until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add half of dry ingredients, then whole milk, then remaining half of dry ingredients, beating until well blended after each addition. Beat in crystallized ginger. Spread batter evenly over pineapple in skillet.
Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool cake in skillet 5 minutes. Run small knife around sides of skillet to loosen cake. Place platter over cake in skillet; invert cake onto platter. Cool cake at least 1 hour. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.

There are rumors that Stevie J has dropped Joseline Hernandez because he's gotten another woman pregnant.
HelloBeautiful.com is quoting an anonymous source who reportedly said that Stevie is having a baby with Tammie Grant. "The couple will keep the details of their relationship private due to the current situation and controversy but are thrilled with the news," the source said.
Supposedly, this means Joseline is out of the picture, but neither she nor Stevie have commented the gossip at this time.
Meanwhile, Eve recalled her relationship with Stevie, who was her first love.
"You know what…that was a learning experience," she said during a chat at the Uniquely You Summit. "You meet people all the time. We just happen to fall in love. Umm, but thankfully I knew better. I know better. I am happily in love now."
She added, "And the girl now (referring to herself) he couldn't even see this. I would be like, 'I'm sorry, we don't speak the same language!'"
And what did Eve learn from her experience with Stevie J? Don't let anything slide if it doesn't feel right to you. Where before she would keep quiet about something that might concern her, she's less shy about talking things out now.
"When I was younger I didn't question things but now I am annoying! Not nagging, but, like, if something doesn't feel right, speak up!" Eve advised. "If you feel like you are being lied to, speak up! If you feel like Sexually he is trying to push you too fast, speak up."
Then Eve made more of a point to speak on how abstinence can help young women find a man that is worth their time.
"Let me tell you something. Anybody that knows you're worth it will stick around," she said before offering points on how to spot the differences in men who are serious about relationships and those just looking for something easy." They might not talk to you about it; they may talk to you about it. But if they argue with you or if they call you a name or if they roll out, they are not meant to be in your life anyways."

Preparations are in full swing for the commemoration of Vietnam Veterans Day in Ohio from March 26 to 29.
This year is the first state-level commemoration of the day enacted by the Ohio General Assembly and signed by Governor John Kasich last year. The Wall that Heals, panel discussions and special ceremonies highlight the four days.
The state commemoration also marks the 40th anniversary of the end of America's role in the Vietnam War. The theme of the commemoration, expressed in the event's logo, is to finally welcome home and honor all those who served there, and to remember those who didn't make it back. Events will be held at the Ohio History Center at Interstate 71 and 17th Avenue and at the Statehouse.
The Ohio Department of Veterans Services (ODVS) and the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), Buckeye State Council, are joining together to sponsor the commemoration. A volunteer committee of veterans' organizations and local officials has been working the past few months to make the event a reality. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Ohio Charities has also graciously underwritten a significant portion of the costs of the event.
"Vietnam veterans are grateful for this recognition," said Ohio Department of Veterans Services Director Tom Moe, "They have not been properly honored, and many of my comrades were even vilified when they returned from the war. This is a way to honor and thank them that is long overdue."
"I personally experienced a lot of negative feelings when I came back to the States from Vietnam," VVA State Council President Tom Burke said. "Vietnam veterans did what was asked of us, just like veterans of every war throughout history. It's a great feeling to be able to honor our service and our sacrifice."
The highlight of the four-day commemoration is the hosting of the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall, known as the The Wall That Heals from Washington, D.C., at the Ohio History Center. The Wall, escorted by veteran motorcyclists from the Patriot Guard Riders and Rolling Thunder, will arrive at the Ohio History Center at about 2 p.m. on March 24 after journeying from the Ohio-Indiana border at Interstate 74 and then up Interstates 275 and 71 to Columbus.
A formal dinner will be held at the Statehouse, along with an opening ceremony at the Ohio History Center and a closing ceremony at the Statehouse. There will also be a final memorial ceremony at the Wall to close out the commemoration.
Another key component of the commemoration is education. Panel discussions will be held at the Ohio History Center from March 26 to 28. Separate panels will focus on the experiences of veterans, the suffering and endurance of prisoners of war, the roles played by female veterans, and a historical perspective on the war and its aftermath.
Following the panels, Vietnam veterans will be able to record their experiences in Living History interviews to be on permanent file at the Ohio History Center.
All events are open to veterans and the public. Volunteers are also needed to help reach out to veterans and veteran organizations, staff the events, greet veterans, provide services to veterans and their families who are in attendance, and several other functions.
The Ohio Department of Veterans Services' web site contains a special section with a schedule of events, volunteer information and other details of the commemoration. To read more, click HERE.
"It's important that we establish Vietnam Veteran's Day so that the people of Ohio can unite in one voice and say that they are grateful and proud of the veterans of that conflict," Director Moe said.
"It is a voice that is finally saying to them, 'welcome home.' "

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Robin Williams wasn't just a funny guy, he was also a serious gamer.
And because of that, one of the ways he will be memorialized will be in the virtual world of Azeroth.
The late comedian and actor was a fan of "World of Warcraft", and after thousands of fans petitioned the developers, Blizzard Entertainment says it will create a character inspired by Williams.
Several late "Warcraft" players have been memorialized in the game's virtual world since it launched in 2004.
Williams was one of the nearly seven million people who played the game online.
The new version of the game is due out in November.

This movie was absolutely hilarious! It's been quite a while since a real laugh-out-loud, snort-fest movie. Perhaps the closes thing was the first Hangover movie, which was a bit different than the usual Adam-Sandlerish comedy.
I mean, look at the cast! Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx, and those are just the secondary roles! The main roles are played by Jason Bateman and two virtually unknown actors Charlie Day and Jason Seudeikis.
Aniston, Spacey and Farrel are the 3 horrible bosses and Bateman, Day and Sedeikis are the employees that decide it's time to kill their bosses. The simpleton, geeky trio seek the help of Motherfucker Jones (Jamie Foxx) and things get extremely complicated from there.
The twists and quirks are absolutely hilarious. It's also loads of fun seeing heavyweights like Spacey and Aniston and Farrel, go all the way. Spacey is a complete, murderous psychopath. Aniston is a masochistic maneater, she even says "slap my face with your cock." Will Farrell is a cokehead that keeps sleeping around with two Asian transvestites. The new guys are also comedy geniuses.
I don't wanna go into the storyline, for I'd ruin it for you guys! But, remember me when Motherfucker Jones explains how he got that first name 😉

Turbo® Tape
Filed under: Uncategorized
There's no doubt about it: we've all been brainwashed to think of Duct Tape as the Great American Fix-All. And to be quite honest, it is. But what about those times when repairs need to be unquestionably watertight, when you want to wrap something up in tape without the chance of someone ever peeling it off? If that situation sounds familiar, I recommend that you free your mind, break away from the Duct Tape cult, and give Turbo Tape® a try instead.
Made of a silicone and rubber compund, Turbo Tape® looks a lot like a big roll of black electrical tape, but it's very different. While most tapes (as we know them, at least) are made up of fabric, vinyl, or plastic coated with an adhesive on one side, Turbo Tape® is self-bonding, which means that it fuses to itself without the help of adhesives or glues. When you wrap it around hoses, automotive components, or cables, Turbo Tape® creates a watertight seal that starts setting a few minutes after the tape is applied, and cures to a void-free, unbreakable bond within 24 hours. No peeling apart here.
In addition to being water-tight, Turbo Tape® is electrically insulating, and can protect you from electrical shock up to 400 volts. It's great for protecting components from the wearing and loosening effects of vibration, and can even be used in extreme temperatures (-76°F to 500°F) without expanding, contracting, or cracking.

I have a 2004 superduty that I have done almost everything ...including twin turbo 6l. Currently it has a cummins in it and has been featured in diesel world and Diesel Power twice including 10 best.
Here are some pictures and then the write up. I will continue to post pictures and updates
Well Decided to build the stereo now that its wasnt up to my par
Allright..Im redoing my stereo this winter. It will have a Fibraglass door, center consol with (2) JL Audio 10w7 and tons of power 2600 to be exact. Words cant describe what Im about to do but you all know I dont do anything half A**
I sold most of my stuff this week.
Here is my new list
Alpine w505 DVD player
ALpine over head DVD
Qty 2 of PPI Art series A600.2 (old school amps) 300x2
Qty 1 of PPR Art series A404.2 (old school amp) 50x4
Qty 1 of PPR Art series A1200.2 (old school amp) 1200x1
Im doing 2 sets of boston pros in each of the front door(one A600.2 on them) with a JL Audio ZR800(8" mid bass(with another A600.2 on them) Up top, that little corner piece on the door (sail pillar) im mounting another Boston tweeter(2 channels of the a404.2(50x4)). That is one front door
Kick Panel with a 5 1/4 boston pro
The rear door will house another 6.5 boston pro with the rear channel of the A404.2
The subs are Going to be (2) Jl Audio 10w7 in a custom rear Center consol. I am switching to Rear buckets
The bed is also getting redone with (2) chrome Nitrous bottles to help with the bling. I have no intentions of every using it
It will take all winter and will be full custom. The guy helping me is a good friend and does only custom audio for this company. He isnt cheap but helps that he wants to swap labor on his car Car Tunes - Metro Detroits Car Stereo and Mobile Entertainment Experts.
It will be fully custom and here are the first picks. The Tear down
Old sub box going bye bye
Checking the fit of the front buckets mounted in the rear
All interior being removed
Here are the amps and new head unit
I will post pics as I go like all my builds. Im also going to be redoing the underneath...axles, custom brakes,,,,,ect
I hope you like this build
This are the door panels for the 8" and 6" mounting to the front doors
I bought some custom rings from Elite Installer Supply - Speaker Rings & Templates for Installers They have alot of Cnc cut rings
Here I traced the pattern for my attached door panel which will be vinyled later
Then taped to the paper for trial fit. Remember this is a 8" and 6 1/2 :woohoo
Then laid on mdf and moked up prior to cutting
After cut I sanded all my mistakes
Then placed prior to prefit
HEre is a picture of me fixed by air nailer. Never loan tools out. you never get them back working

If that aint a front stage I dont know what is. The rear door will have the rear channels of the PPI 404.2. Also I cant figure out how to make the custom center console which will hold the (2) JL Audio 10w7 ( yes 7s) with a PPI ARt series A1200.2
The funny thing is I dont like my doors and will redo them next winter or durning the winter if I get another set of panels to work with . I have another Idea since I know how to fibraglass

The End is Nigh for the PacifierMeredith Carroll
When I took Peony into the pediatrician for her 15-month well-child visit near the end of last year, I sheepishly told the doctor that she's very much a paci-girl.
"She loves that thing," I laughed uncomfortably. "Like, loves loves it. But she's OK to keep using it, right? When does she need to give it up?"
The pediatrician looked at me squarely in the eye. "Now."
It was what I already kind of knew but didn't really want to face. For Peony or, frankly, for me.
My older daughter never really took to the pacifier, so when we took it away when she was 9 or 10 months old, she never even noticed.
This is not the case with Peony.
She often has a pacifier strapped to her shirt, a different one in her mouth and one in each hand. It might be the reason she has never taken to a lovie — she loves all of her pacifiers and would like them all with her at all times. It would be cute if it weren't for the fact that it's just not level of adorableness as a stuffed bunny or well-worn blankie.
I know pacifiers are better in some ways than thumbs (you can take away a paci but no one's cutting off a thumb), but that doesn't make staring down the barrel of separating her from her lovie(s) any easier.
One friend told me to start cutting off the tips of her pacis. Others have given different advice. I know it's bad for her teeth. I think maybe it's not good for her developmentally or emotionally. But is it normal for me not to have the mental fortitude to really take this on?
Peony shares a room with Petunia, and I have no idea how anyone will sleep when the day comes for Peony to go to bed with a paci. I imagine she'll be angry but just kind of desperate, too. I know it's what's best and I know the sooner we do it, the better, but as is the case with so many other things, is thereever a good time? And if the answer is no, where does that leave me?
Fortunately for Peony, that leaves her with her pacis in tact (in mouth) for just a little while longer.

Time for tea make your own upcycled teacup bird feeder
With a long 'Mediterranean' summer guaranteeing us all a bumper harvest of fruit and vegetables this year, our hedgerows and trees are also groaning with an abundance of wild pickings ensuring our garden birds will be well fed, healthy and ready for winter.
However, there's no reason why we still can't help our feathered friends out with a steady supply of fresh water and seeds to feast on, if only to enjoy them visiting our garden.
So, to encourage more birds, whilst adding a little glamour, to your garden why not give this simple upcycling project a go?
A teacup bird feeder.
To make your own bird feeder, all you need is:
A teacup and saucer
1. Using a pipe cutter, cut the copper pipe to approximately 1 metre in length.
2. Next, using the craft knife, carefully cut a piece of cork to fit snuggly into one end of the copper pipe, ensuring it finishes flush with the Forex end.
3. Sand both the bottom of the teacup and saucer to create a 'key' to help the glue bond.
4. Glue the teacup to the saucer, then glue the copper pipe end cap centrally to the base of the saucer.
5. Finally, glue the copper pipe (corked end) into the end cap and hold firmly until completely bonded.
6. Find a suitable place in your garden to site your feeder, ideally near the safe shelter of a bush or tree in a quieter area of your garden. Firmly push the pipe about 10cm into the ground.
7. Fill your teacup with fresh water and sprinkle a generous handful of good quality bird seed around the saucer.
8. Sit back and watch your feathery friends enjoy a little teatime treat.
Why don't you give this a go? Good quality and inexpensive teacup and saucers can be found in most charity shops and these feeders look gorgeous in anyone's garden, they also make lovely gifts for the bird-lover in your life.
Do you like this craft, would you like to see more like it, let me know, your feedback is always welcome?

Permanent commissions of cardinals established in Rome for handling the business of the Church. The competence of the various congregations is determined by their administrative responsibilities, although there is not in the Roman Curia a real distinction between legislation and administration. They came into existence as the work of the Apostolic Chancery grew in complexity and the Pope needed stable brances of government immediately subject to his jurisdiction. The first such commission with permanent character was the Sacred Congregation of the Inquisition, set up by Pope Paul III in 1542.

Ask the Building Maintenance Experts
Solutions for Your Toughest Problems
ICAN Q & A Home
Saturday, October 10, 2015
[Monday, February 26, 2007]
How can I remove yellow chalk dust from the carpet below the chalk board? This build up is over quite a few years and does not come out with regular cleaning.
Carpet/Furniture Care
- Andi Lee-Marnicio
Answer # 1:
Colored chalk is challenging but cleanable. However, merely adding a weak solution to the extractor and immediately making repeated passes is ineffective.
Always begin with intensive and repeated vacuum passes with a beater bar unit. Next, mix your extraction cleaner at a strong concentration in a pump-up sprayer and apply it liberally to the soiled area. After 5-10 minutes of contact time, apply agitation with a brush, the sole of a tennis shoe, extractor power head brush, shampooer, or bonnet.
Add 1 cup of acidic rinse for each 5 gallons of rinse water in the extractor tank and make slow passes across the soiled area. The chalk should disappear.
Three common causes for failure are: not enough concentration of the cleaner, inadequate dwell time, and insufficient agitation.
Gary Clipperton
National Pro Clean Corp.
(719) 598-5112
Answer # 2:
Remove as much of the chalk dust as possible with dry processes before the actual cleaning begins. A beater brush type upright is ok but a pile lifter vacuum is far more effective at getting the deep down dust that builds up over time and lifts the pile. After vacuuming try air pressure and a microfiber cloth. These same processes work on toner, potting soil and other fine particulate type spots. Lastly clean with an absorbent powder carpet cleaning process (Host or Capture, etc). The less moisture you use on fine particulate type spot, the better your success will be.

House has told MSNBC that by the end of January Manning appeared "catatonic" and that he had "severe problems communicating," with it having taken House nearly 45 minutes on a recent visit to engage in any meaningful way (video below.) House said Manning's demeanor was as "if he had just woken up and didn't know what was going on around him." Manning was "utterly exhausted physically and mentally…it was difficult to have any kind of social engagement."

While there is no guarantee of a shared last name, your coworker will no doubt appreciate the card and correct if need be. Another option would be asking another coworker who you are close with the spouse's name.

FIRST LOOK: Federation: The First 150 Years Trailer

Last month, StarTrek.com reported that Federation: The First 150 Years is on the way, due to arrive in stores/online in November. Now, check out this exclusive teaser video, which features some familiar Star Trek music, the unmistakable voice of Admiral Hikaru Sulu, Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet Command, and images from the hotly anticipated book.
As previously reported, Federation: The First 150 Years is full of intelligence reports, treaty excerpts and letters documenting the historic moments that led to the formation of the United Federation of Planets. Author David A. Goodman will examine everything from First Contact to the Organian Peace Treaty, with the text complemented by color and black and white illustrations of epic battles, alien species and heretofore unseen ship designs, among them the Romulan attack on Starbase 1 and original blueprints for the U.S.S. Enterprise and the Xindi Avian.

Catch the Queen of the NorthWritten by The Night Sky Guy on November 27, 2009 – 12:58 pm -
Start your evening off with some royal watching as Cassiopeia the queen of the night sky holds court high in evening skies. This lop sided, W-shaped pattern of bright stars is easily spotted high above the northeast horizon all season long. To track it down you can use the Big dipper which sits very low in the sky near the northern horizon. using the 2 pointer stars of the bowl, , you can extend an imaginary line right through the North Star and on to Cassiopeia.
According to ancient Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was the vain queen of Ethiopia who constantly boasted that her own beauty rivaled that of almighty Zeus' own daughters. In retribution he condemned her to the heavens. Cassiopeia now sits on her star-studded throne, eternally circling Polaris – never to set below the horizon.

Quick Guide to Choosing TelescopesWritten by The Night Sky Guy on November 27, 2009 – 8:27 am -
Christmas is a time to splurge on buying big-ticket items for many, and telescopes easily fit the bill. Regardless what gifts are hot this season, it's hard to find a kid or grownup who wouldn't be happy to discover a telescope sitting under the tree. It can be a daunting task however when it comes time to choosing what instrument to buy. How can you make sure that your telescope ends up collecting starlight and not dust in the closet? Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind when searching for the perfect scope for that special stargazer.
1. Shop at Astronomy specialty shops instead of general department stores or outlet malls. The products and services are usually far superior. The staff are usually amateur astronomers themselves and will be able to help you find the scope that will suit your needs. They can also give you a bit of training on how to use your new scope and accessories too.
2. Always check the tripod mount the scope is sitting on. It should be give you stable views without any shakes when viewing the stars. Make sure you try out the telescope by looking through it and see how steady the views are. Any vibration from touching the instrument should dampen within a second or two.
3. The larger the primary mirror or lens, the brighter and clearer the views will be. Also the higher the magnification you will be able to use with it. But remember that the larger the telescope the heavier it will be. You want to make sure the scope gets a lot of use so don't necessarily get the biggest you can afford. Smaller telescopes that are lighter and more transportable will give you great views of hundreds of objects.
Continue reading more tips on choosing telescopes here and for a quick run down on what kind of telescopes are on the market then check out this great article
Also, check back tomorrow evening when I will be posting a short video guide to telescope types.

Moon and Pegasus PlayWritten by The Night Sky Guy on November 26, 2009 – 10:00 am -
Take a gander at the waxing gibbous Moon tonight and it will guide you to one of the seasonal landmark constellations of Autumn – Pegasus – the flying horse. The Moon will be sitting right underneath the 'Great Square' of Pegasus. This giant square represents the chest of the mythical flying horse , and is only considered an Asterism – a distinctive pattern of stars. The constellation itself contains many more stars that sprawl across this part of the sky, but they are fainter.
If you have never seen Pegasus before, this is a great opportunity to track it down easily with our neighbouring world pointing the way. Remember though that the Moon's glare will wash out the nearby stars a bit so try blocking it from direct view and the Great Square should pop into view.
Click here for more background info on Pegasus and its deep sky treasures for those with binos and scopes.

Station-Shuttle FlybysWritten by The Night Sky Guy on November 22, 2009 – 6:26 pm -
Tonight and over the next few nights are great opportunities to see the International Space Station with the space shuttle docked fly over your backyard. The pair together look like a superbright star zipping across the heavens. In fact it should look like the brightest object in the night sky after only the moon! Generally the passes will last a couple of minutes and it will appear like an unblinking, bright, white star gliding across the sky Exact viewing times and directions of where you will see the station in the sky depends on your location – they are different for each city or town.
So best thing to do is click on the Space Station icon on the right-hand sidebar or go to my Sky Tonight page and click on your city of choice or choose Elsewhere, and get your customized viewing table.
For an explanation of how to read your viewing timetable chart click on the image to the left. It is a sample chart for Toronto that gives you a brief rundown on what the main sections mean. If you have never seen the station now is a good time to find it because it will be so bright in the sky. The shuttle undocks and lands on November 25th.

CAIRO – American civil rights groups have applauded a court decision to remove a Malaysian professor from no-fly list, seeing it the first victory against the much criticized American list.
"Judge [William] Alsup's ruling affirms that basic notions of transparency and accountability apply to even the US government's 'no-fly' list," Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus (AAAJ-ALC) staff attorney Nasrina Bargzie said in a press release by the Council on American-Islamic Relations on Wednesday, January 15.
"We welcome this ruling and look forward to further clarity as to how one can navigate the maze created by the 'no-fly' list and other similar listings," she added.
FBI Harasses Muslim Air Force Veteran
No-Fly US Muslim Veteran Flies HomeUS Muslims Petition Against No-Fly List
The lawsuit, filed by San Jose-based McManis Faulkner in 2006 on behalf of the mother of four children and a PhD student at Stanford University, alleged that the government violated Dr. Rahinah Ibrahim's due process rights when it placed her on the "no-fly" list.
US District Court Judge Alsup ruled that Dr. Ibrahim had standing to challenge the government's actions, ordered the government to correct Ibrahim's position on the "no-fly" list and to disclose to her what said position was.
The judge kept his detailed ruling under seal until April 15 so the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals can rule on the government's appeal to toss out the lawsuit.
The US Department of Justice has refused to disclose Ibrahim's current flight status throughout her eight-year legal fight, including during a two-week bench trial late last year.
Several similar lawsuits are pending across the nation, but Ibrahim's legal challenge appears to be the first to go to trial.
Following the lawsuit over the past eight years, the Council on American-Islamic Relations welcomed the court ruling as a much awaited victory.
"This victory has been a long time coming," said CAIR-SFBA Executive Director Zahra Billoo.
"Each year our offices hear from hundreds of individuals who are visited by the FBI and face related travel issues.
"Many have lost hope about clearing their names, but this case will renew our collective desire to continue forward with the courts on our side," she added
Established in 2003 and administrated by the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center, the "no-fly" list includes some 20,000 people deemed by the agency as known to have, or reasonably suspected of having, ties to terrorism.
About 500 of them are US citizens, according to an agency spokesman.
Earlier in February, A US Muslim Air Force veteran had complained of being barred from leaving the country after being allowed to care for his terminally-ill mother.
In May 2012, fifteen American Muslims, including four military veterans, sued the federal government over being placed on a "no-fly" list for no apparent reason.
Earlier in 2011, an American Muslim family was kicked off a JetBlue flight because their 18-month child was flagged as no-fly.
In 2009, nine members of a Muslim family were removed from a domestic AirTran Airways flight to Orlando, Florida, after they chatted about their seats in the plane.

The son of the wealthiest merchant bankers in Europe, Thomas Hope (1769-1831) was a major catalyst in the arts of Regency England. At the age of 18, he embarked on a Grand Tour to the Continent and started to assemble the remarkable art collection that he later installed in his Duchess Street house in central London. Hopes remodeling and interior decoration of that house fostered what became known as the Regency.
This book is the most comprehensive study to date of Thomas Hope, focusing on his multifaceted role as designer and patron. The contributors examine his wide-ranging contribution to the arts as well as his extensive writings. Richly illustrated with new photographs, the volume presents a vast array of paintings, furniture, sculpture, and works of art, many of which have never been published before.
David Watkin is professor of the history of architecture at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of a previous book on Thomas Hope and of others on James Athenian Stuart, Sir John Soane, and King George III, as well as several architectural survey volumes. Philip Hewat-Jaboor is an independent scholar, collector, and curator. Together with David Watkin and Daniella Ben Arie he is curator of the Thomas Hope exhibition.

LOS ANGELES – On Thursday at The STAPLES Center, Sandro Dias' first run was good enough for Gold, as the Brazilian took home the X Games title in the men's skateboard vert showdown.
Bob Burnquist nabbed silver and Bucky Lasek took home the bronze.
Andy Macdonald missed the podium, just 0.25 points behind Lasek.
The victory was the first X Games Skateboard Vert Gold for Dias, who won the bronze at X Games 11 and has won Vert titles multiple times at Latin X Games and Asian X Games competitions.
"I thought my score was too high," quipped Dias, when asked if he was surprised his first run was enough for the victory. "But I love the judges." That winning run included a Backside 540 McTwist to Tail, a Gnar Jar 540, Heel flip to front side slider and Ollie To Fakie.
Burnquist and Lasek both had strong runs with opportunities to take the gold, but in the end came up short. Burnquist on his final two runs fell on a switch kick flip after a frontside air to backside air.
"I feel very good about that run, because I connected every single obstacle on the ramp and it flowed all the way through," said Burnquist. "The switch kick-flip that I couldn't land – I'll definitely loose sleep over that because I usually can land it. I think that if I had landed that, I might have got the gold." Lasek put together a run that included a Frontside 540, Ollie Flip Fakie and Stalefish. "My body felt good for as battered as it was," Lasek said. "I was feeling it on my third run but I was seeing about eight walls ahead of myself and fell on something easy."

A Green Staycation
August 27th, 2009 by Andrea Carroll (View Author Profile)
As it is summer time, many of us will be taking holidays and staycations are the order of the day in 2009. Vacationing in Ireland may not be something that we want to do every year but the benefits for our economy and environment cannot be underestimated. Staycations help to keep money flowing, and retain jobs in the tourism industry. As well as helping to improve our economy, encouraging people to holiday at home reduces transport related emissions from travel – good for the environment too. Despite our weather this summer (is it ever going to make up its mind?)… Read More »
