I am 3 days out of my Sliding Genioplasty procedure and I noticed that my smile has changed. I used to have a big pearly-white smile that would show both the top and some of the bottom of my teeth. Now my smile is smaller and I can only show a little of the top part of my teeth. I hope that since I am only three days out of surgery that I can blame this on the swelling and numbness?

Geocachers Care
Some people find much more than just cache containers when they're introduced to geocaching. Geocachers may discover parks they never knew existed, the hidden history of their community or even the sting of stepping in poison ivy. But some geocachers wander into something else. They're lucky enough to find the person they'll marry. It happens. It happened to one of the founders of Geocaching.com. Bryan Roth attended a geocaching event ten years ago today. Fellow founder Jeremy Irish encouraged Bryan to attend. Bryan says, "This was the first of 41 total geocaching events that I've attended so far. Jeremy had suggested […]

Harry Smith, esteemed network TV anchorman/correspondent and long-ago Denver broadcaster, sticks his nose into a jar labeled "Sublime" and sniffs.
"To an aging boomer like me," he says, "it's more than a little disorienting."
He refers not to the odor, but to the newly legal, over-the-counter status of the marijuana and bud-based products available to any adult in Colorado.
Smith, now an NBC News contributor, returns to his old stomping grounds to lead a carefully balanced, journalistically proper tour of the local pot industry.
"Marijuana in America: Colorado Pot Rush," premieres Feb. 26 at 10 p.m. on CNBC.
The Cannabist
"Innocent or insidious?" he asks. Both sides weigh in with heartfelt testimony. It's either the end of Prohibition II or the beginning of a dangerous social experiment. Viewers will decide. Mostly, the documentary is wide-eyed regarding the big money involved.
"Everyone is seeing green," Smith says, one of the hour's many apparently irresistible puns.
The camera trails pot tourists from dispensary to dispensary, looks in on grows, observes a family trimming buds together, visits a private pot club in Colorado Springs, chronicles pipes, joints, bongs, vape pens and other acoutrements, and eyes the array of edibles — gummies to chocolates and more — flying off shelves since Jan. 1, 2014.
A brief detour checks out the debate in Greeley (true to its roots as a temperence colony) vs. Garden City (historically known for its vices). Then it's back to shots of citizens inhaling, business owners trying to keep up with demand, and catered pot parties aiming to become "a fixture of polite society."
A scientist warns of the effects on the teenage brain — including the potential of an 8-point drop in IQ over time — and notes 10 percent of users are likely to become dependent, physically or psychologically. Gov. John Hickenlooper observes the "terrible" message legalization sends to minors. Mason Tvert, provocateur and "the face of legal weed," has his say.
The Denver Post gets a few nods, too. CNBC interviews The Post's marijuana editor Ricardo Baca and Jake Browne, recently hired pot critic, who sees his work as being "on the right side of history."
It's all told with a slightly incredulous tone. "Marijuana editor"?! That wacky Colorado! But half of the retail pot sold here is bought by out-of-staters, Smith notes. And weed is expected to become a $100 million industry "in year one."
"Where's Cheech? Where's Chong? Even they have moved on," Smith says. We're getting past the puns, we're getting over the Haight-Ashbury references, we're even outdistancing the image of Cheech & Chong.
This, Smith observes, "is the new normal."

Fiscal Cliff. I'm 5 years old.
Comments (7)
As part of an old deal about the economy, Congress agreed to put a time limit on the methods they used to allow us to pay our bills. The deal said that if there is no new agreement by the end of the time frame, there will be automatic tax increases and budget cuts. The end of that time frame is fast approaching.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. ~~Winston Churchill
Further, democrats are all about tax increases, especially toward the "rich" but the current proposal also includes something like $600 billion in new spending instead of budget cuts as well as a stimulus package and ability to raise the debt limit.
z Big Sister -- May 2009 z
z Little Sister -- August 2012 z
"The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them."
― Maya Angelou
The Budget Control Act of 2011 raised the debt ceiling, allowed the President to temporarily raise the debt ceiling again w/o Congressional approval but Congress could overrule it with 2/3 vote, directed that about $900 billion in cuts be made over 10 years, directed that $21 billion in cuts be made in 2012, created a Congressional super committee to make at least $1.5 trillion of cuts over 10 years. If Congress failed to pass a deficit reduction bill and make $1.2 trillion in cuts, then the debt ceiling would increase by $1.2 trillion and trigger across-the-board cuts for most federal agencies.
(I emphasize temporarily b/c now power-hungry Obama wants to make that a permanent executive power, thumbing his nose at the principles of separation of powers and checks and balances).
Basically, at the end of 2012, the Bush taxcuts expire--meaning everyone in every tax bracket will have a tax increase, payroll tax cut of 2% will end--meaning a 2% tax increase for everyone working, and most federal agencies will lose around 10% in funding, which means: that open positions will not be filled, federal workers will be furloughed without pay for about 30 days, federal parks will close, and you can expect to see backlog in everything...receiving Social Security payments, Medicare reimbursements, tax refunds, criminal investigations and trials, etc.
Obama's answer to this is to raise taxes with addtional spending with NO cuts. Republicans want to cut spending and prevent an increase of taxes.
The kicker for federal workers is that the continuing resolution for the budget expires around March, so we'll be faced with another gov't shutdown until a budget is passed. We haven't passed a budget in years, and the federal gov't has been running on continuing resolutions.

'Tis True
Pathetic, Huh?
We took back the Senate in 2014
Obama's answer to this is to raise taxes with addtional spending with NO cuts.
This a million times and yet it's somehow going to be spun as the Republican's fault... even with control of the WH and Senate, if the fiscal cliff occurs it will somehow be our fault. I hate how the other side cannot accept any accountability and just act like children all the time. How this POS can not propose cuts when we are in a situation as dire as the fiscal cliff just shows how abusive and manipulative this guy is. He's just infuriating.

Gorgeous Fig Tree bay, Protaras
Stay in one of my pick of the best luxury villas Protaras for a fabulous beach holiday in Cyprus.
Protaras is a hugely popular beach lovers resort situated on the far east of Cyprus offering everything a family or romantic couple could want for a holiday: the three S's - sun, sea and sand, plus a huge choice of shops, restaurants, pretty tavernas and bars.
I don't get over that way too often, but when I do, I head for the crystal clear waters of Fig Tree bay, the main reason why so many people choose villas Protaras, as it is arguably the best beach in Cyprus. Fig Tree Bay is surrounded by palm trees which creates an idylic atmosphere. You can enjoy a meal right on the beach and, if the beach gets too full in high summer, head over to Konnos Bay nearby for a great range of watersports.
Here are my recommendations for your luxury villa holiday in Protaras near Larnaca. Unlike other villa areas in Cyprus, where a car is essential to get to shops and restaurants, many of these villas Protaras do not require a car as they are within walking distance of all amenties.
Tip: So look for "car optional" in the description if you want to save some money!

More than a thousand people, who speak five different languages, answered one question. It was, "Describe geocaching in one word…" Here's what they said through the lens of a word cloud. How would you describe geocaching?
Eric Schudiske on November 12, 2012, 9:31 am
The Geocache of the Week is sure to lift geocachers up – literally! Vytah (GC3A6Y9), or "elevator" is a difficulty 2, terrain 1.5 traditional cache located in Jihomoravsky kraj, Czech Republic. The small cache container has been sitting on private property, with the land owner's permission, since January 2012. Over the last 8 months, 625 geocachers have taken the time to log this cache and award it 227 Favorite Points. berx.cz placed the geocache to showcase how the design of an elevator influences the retrieval of the cache container. The cache page provides significant insight to the purpose of an elevator, what it consists of, […]

Peter!, the Website Administrator and Video Producer at GeoPT.org, said of the Portuguese GPS Awards, "Just like the Oscars, this is to recognize the quality of geocachers' work." What better way to highlight quality caches than to encourage the community to discover and vote for their favorites? In this case, that community includes geocachers across all 20 regions of Portugal. "We decided to organize the event to improve the quality of geocaching in Portugal and to reward the owners of the best caches," explains prodrive, another GeoPT.org Website Administrator and Event Organizer. Portugal experienced a geocaching boom in 2011. On average, over 500 geocaches […]

On my Concorde I have ambrosio elite rims (with durex) laced with some kind of spokes (probably generic steel) to 1986 Shimano 600 Hubs (bearing sealed).
The rims and were made in the mid-late 80s but were mint when I got them to make my bike. The rims are double wall. There is no damage to the rims except for a tiny scratch that got there when a piece of metal or something got caught in my brake pads. There are no flat spots or cracks or dents in the rim.
My problem is as soon as I true the wheels, they go out of true after a ride. This is significant enough that I have to use the little break release switch (Ultegra) to space the pads out more. I figured I had just forgotten how to true wheels so I took it to an LBS that is reputable in the city and they trued the wheels. Same thing, after the first ride the wheel was significantly out of wack.
I am wondering if this is do to some kind of damage in the rim or if its the fact that I have used cheap spokes and they stretched out already. If its the rim, what should I look for when looking for damage. If its the spokes, I guess I'll just re lace them with some DT spokes or Wheelsmith right? If I use DT, which model should I get. This is my training bike, not my racing bike.
Oh, by the way, I don't use this bike like my mountain bike so its not from me bouncing on it.
Thank You

A Potter Shares the Lessons She has Learned from Tracking Her Hourly Earnings
Wondering how much money you actually make selling pots—after accounting for labor, materials, show fees, marketing, selling, packing, shipping, travel, general paperwork, etc? Mea Rhee tracked and figured out her hourly earnings in 2010, which she shared in Ceramics Monthly and on CAD a few years ago.
In today's post, an excerpt from the June/July/August 2015 issue of Ceramics Monthly, Rhee shares some of the adjustments she's needed to make to stay successful.
4 Successful Potters Give Advice on How to Make a Living Making Pottery
Probably every aspiring ceramic artist has pondered at great lengths how to make pottery their full time gig. It's not an easy road these days, and if you want to succeed in the pottery business, you really need to make a good careful plan. In today's post, we have gathered some great advice from four successful potters that might just help you when making your plan. In this excerpt from this year's working potters issue of Ceramics Monthly, Amelia Stamps, Anderson Bailey, Steven Rolf, and Jeremy Ayers share their tips and the lessons they've learned along the way. Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Geidai University: A Self-Directed Approach to Learning Ceramics
Imagine you are a student and you are required to make a large pot using 22 pounds of clay. Now imagine that your instructor demonstrates how to do this once, and then leaves. At Tokyo University of the Fine Arts, also referred to as Geidai, the professors trust that students of all levels will be self-directed, receptive, and willing to share their knowledge with other students. In today's post, an excerpt from the May 2015 issue of Ceramics Monthly, Geidai graduate student Maggie Connolly presents a snapshot of the intensive, yet self-directed approach the school uses to prepare students for life as ceramic artists.-Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Clay as a Second Career: An Artist Shares How She Found Her Way to Pottery
Despite the fact that our passion for clay runs deep, we were probably not born knowing we wanted to be ceramic artists. Many of us, stumbled upon clay (and our lives were forever changed!).
In today's post, I am sharing an excerpt from the April 2015 Ceramics Monthly, which focuses on artists who took on ceramics after established careers in very different fields. Carolanne Currier explains how she came to clay from a career as an investigator for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and how her previous career informs her work.- Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Ayumi Horie: White Pots
Today we have the latest video from the oh-so talented Ayumi Horie. In this one, Ayumi talks about the importance of touch in this increasingly digitally focused world. You'll also catch a glimpse into her unique "dry throwing" method, how she creates her match strikers, and a special surprise at around 3 minutes in (wait for it, wait for it). Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Packing For Success: How to Ensure Your Pottery Survives Shipping
Hopefully you haven't already learned this the hard way, but if you make and sell pots, you can't afford to do a shoddy job on packing them for shipping. Early on in his career, Charlie Cummings, artist and proprietor of Charlie Cummings Gallery (www.claylink.com), shipped some pots to an exhibition and all of them arrived shattered. Once was all it took and now Charlie has a great system for packing work.
Today, in an excerpt from the March/April 2015 issue of Pottery Making Illustrated, Charlie shares his secrets to getting work from point A to point B in one piece.
Using Modern Tools and Old-Fashioned Hard Work to Set Up a Dream Studio
Starting up a studio anywhere can be a real challenge – in an expensive city like Seattle even more so. But Deborah Schwartzkopf and George Rodriguez are two community-oriented artists who made it happen using innovative tools like Kickstarter and old-fashioned hard work. In today's post, you'll hear a little bit about their studio. For the rest of the article, check out the March 2015 issue of Ceramics Monthly.– Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
Making it Work as a Nomadic Potter
It's June, which means the Working Potters issue of Ceramics Monthly has hit the newsstands! I am always a fan of this issue because it gives a nice glimpse into how others (from all over the world) make this "studio potter thing" happen. In today's post, Yasha Butler, an artist currently splitting her time between studios in two different countries, discusses how her nomadic lifestyle creates both logistical challenges and creative inspiration.- Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
PS. Read the rest of Yasha's story, and see more images of her work in the June/July/August 2014 issue of Ceramics Monthly.
Hide-N-Seekah! Using Social Media for a Pottery Scavenger Hunt!
Not sure what to use all those social-media platforms for? They're great for finding ways to connect, share ideas, and build community. Adam Field has found ways to do all of this by organizing a ceramics scavenger hunt. In today's post, on excerpt from the March 2014 issue of Ceramics Monthly, Garth Johnson tells the story of Hide-N-Seekah! – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
A Visit to the Harborside Studio of Matthew Chambers
I often joke about the lovely views in my studio: the washer and dryer and ever present pile of laundry, the only slightly private basement toilet, you get the idea. So I like to post excerpts from Ceramics Monthly's Studio Visit department from time to time so I can daydream about the day my studio ceases to be subterranean. In today's post, British artist Matthew Chambers takes us on a virtual tour of his studio on the Isle of Wight.- Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

We know we need to watch how much sugar we eat each day, but the new guidelines mean that we need to try to reduce this even further.
The problem is that too much sugar means extra calories, which in turn can lead to stored fat in the body and diseases like heart disease, some cancers and type 2 diabetes.
Around a quarter of the added sugar in kids' diets comes from sugary drinks. That's why the new advice is that sugary drinks have no place in a child's daily diet. Swap to water; lower-fat milks; sugar free, diet and no added sugar drinks instead.
Eating too much sugar can also cause tooth decay, so be sure to clean your teeth twice a day and check your kids are doing the same.
A typical 8-year-old shouldn't have more than 6 cubes of added sugar* per day.
*Added sugars: These are free sugars that have been added by a food manufacturer, cook or consumer to a food and include those sugars naturally found in unsweetened fruit juice, honey and syrups. It doesn't include sugars naturally found in milk and milk products and intact fruit and veg. Watch out for some of the words on the label used by food manufacturers to describe free sugars: cane sugar, honey, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, fruit concentrate, corn syrup, fructose, sucrose, glucose, nectars and crystalline sucrose.
†Based on a 4g sugar cube.

Remember, eating wholegrain cereals and plenty of fruit and vegetables helps to ensure children are eating enough fibre. Fibre is an important part of a healthy balanced diet.
You might be surprised to see how much sugar is in your food and drink For example, there are 7 cubes in 1 can of sugary fizzy drink‡ – more than the maximum daily amount for an 8 year old.

ST. CLAIR, Mich. -- The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office say body parts were discovered in garbage bags in St. Clair, Michigan on Thursday.
Officials received a call from a passerby Thursday afternoon who looked inside the bags that were along Fred Moore Highway and Allington Road and then called police.
Another resident told deputies that they saw a 1990's SUV in the area dumping what they thought was garbage from the vehicle. The SUV was described as white or gray in color and was being driven by a middle-aged woman.
It is not known how long the remains, including a head and a torso, had been in the bags or whether the parts belonged to multiple people.
Just before 5 a.m. Friday, a driver spotted another garbage bag near the I-94 ramp and Fred Moore Highway. Investigators say they found charred paperwork and clothing inside that bag and they believe that is evidence connected to the human remains.
At this point, the sheriff believes the body parts are those of one white man, but that will have to be confirmed by the medical examiner.
"We are treating this incident as a homicide," said St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon. "We are asking for the public's help to solve this crime.

Saturday (Aug. 28) marks 41 years since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. One wonders the extent to which King could have had a sense that day, as he climbed the steps and positioned himself in front of the image of Lincoln, that the speech he was about to deliver would become a defining moment in American history.
What made King's speech so great? How could a black pastor, with roots a few generations out of slavery, ascend from the South and speak to a nation with words that would find a place in American history alongside the words of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln?
I think it is crucial to appreciate that King spoke first as an American. A central point that he drove home was that racial injustice is an American problem and that the destinies of black Americans and white Americans are intertwined. A crime committed is as much a problem for the perpetrator as for the victim.
Because King was able to scale the heights and see America's racial problems from the perspective of the ideals and truths in which this nation is rooted, he understood that the truths that informed the ideals of a descendant of slaves were the same truths that informed the ideals of otherwise great men who owned slaves.
Because King waged his battle from these heights, this man with many reasons to be bitter lectured against bitterness, with many reasons to hate lectured about love, with many reasons to be violent preached nonviolence, and with many reasons to play on divisions spoke about brotherhood.
One way to appreciate King's greatness and the power of the message he delivered is to look at history. Much of the blood that has been shed has been the result of political demagogues rising up and exploiting moments not so different from what America looked like in 1963. Times of stress and frustration, when injustice and suffering are clear and manifest, are times that are ripe for political demagogues.
A man less than Dr. King could have played to the passions of the crowd and consolidated power through the politics of hate, blame and envy. He could have talked about two Americas and haves and have-nots.
Instead, Dr. King talked about a common destiny, a brotherhood of man, and a free nation under God. He appealed to those in power to recall the eternal truths and ideals that make this nation great and to understand the extent to which those ideals had been lost and compromised. He reminded us that those truths and ideals are the unifying principles of our nation, and that they define the American community. He appealed to blacks to focus on those truths and ideals and not on that part of the nation that turned away from them.

Wiggins to entertain top talent at AA Bowl
Jeremy Crabtree
Recruiting Analyst
Rivals.com Rankings
Rivals.com athletes: No. 26
Rivals.com Florida top 100: No. 29
Doug Wiggins likes to entertain.
So when 80 of the nation's top high school football players head to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for the inaugural Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, expect Wiggins of Miami North Miami Beach High to be a gracious host.
The game is scheduled for Jan. 4 in Fort Lauderdale and will be broadcast live on ESPNU. Rivals.com is the official selection partner for the Offense-Defense All-America Bowl.
Wiggins isn't cocky. He's just confident.
"There must be something in the water down here," Wiggins said. "You have to be able to walk-the-walk and talk-the-talk. We just know how to play hard, fast and tough. We can back up all the talk, too."
Wiggins said he hopes to have a big crowd of fans from his high school at the game.
"I was really surprised when I got the invitation," Wiggins said. "I have always wanted to play in an All-American game, but when I hadn't heard from anybody, I started to give up hope. But this is a really exciting opportunity for me, and I'm really honored."
So what will fans see from Wiggins?
"They're going to see a player that's going to keep them on the edge of their seat," Wiggins said. "They're going to see a guy that's running up and down the field on both sides of the ball making big plays. I'm open to playing receiver, defensive back, whatever. Just let me get out there and help the team win."
Wiggins is slated to take an official visit this weekend to Michigan. He has already visited Georgia, and he lists the Bulldogs and Wolverines as his top two teams. He's also looking at South Carolina, Oklahoma, Western Michigan and is interested to see what happens with the new coaching situation at Miami.
Wiggins hinted he could make his decision at the All-American game or at his high school team banquet in late December. He is a mid-term graduate and will be able to enroll at his school of choice in January.

New study on microscopic colitis and celiac disease.
Celiac.com 07/27/2011 - Based on associations made between microscopic colitis and celiac disease in scientific literature, but limited population-based data, a team of researchers set out to assess rates of microscopic colitis in celiac disease.
The research team included M. Stewart, C. N. Andrews, S. Urbanski, P. L. Beck, and M. Storr. They were looking to better understand how these two diseases might be connected, and to identify any factors that might cause them to occur together.
This led them to conduct a population-based review of all people diagnosed with celiac disease and microscopic colitis in a large Canadian medical center over a 5-year period.
To do that, they searched endoscopy and pathology databases to find all diagnosis made for celiac disease and microscopic colitis within the Calgary Health Region between 2004 and 2008.
To get accurate results, they made sure to standardize age and gender data from their study with 2006 Canadian Census data.
They then used standardized incidence ratios (SIR) to figure out how often the two disease occur together.
In the study population, they found, over a five-year period, 763 patients diagnosed with celiac disease, and 1106 diagnosed with microscopic colitis.
In the general population, the standard rates of celiac disease ran from 10.4 to 15.7 per 100,000 people, while the standard rates of microscopic colitis ran from 16.9 to 26.2 per 100,000 people.
The study team found 40 patients with both celiac disease and microscopic colitis, 21 of whom were females aged 40–60 years.
In the celiac disease group, microscopic colitis occurred at an annual rate of 11.4 per 1000 cases of celiac disease with an overall SIR of 52.7.
These findings showed a strong association between microscopic colitis and celiac disease. In fact, the diseases occurred together in the study population at rates of about 50-times those expected in the general population.
One prominent finding was that middle-aged women suffered especially high rates of celiac disease together with microscopic colitis.
Therefore, the team recommends that middle-aged women with celiac disease and persistent diarrhea undergo lower endoscopy with biopsies to check for microscopic colitis.
As always, Celiac.com welcomes your comments (see below).

When I first went GF 8 years ago I read about this strong correlation between MC and gluten sensitivity on Dr. Kenneth Fine's Intestinal Health website. One can be gluten sensitive even if one does not have the genes for CD or if tests for CD are negative.
Since I cannot post a link to a website you can find this info by Googling "Intestinal Health Institute"

I found this very interesting. I have been trying to convince my GI doc of this for two years now. I was diagnosed with MC in 2009. I had to beg him to test me for CD. A year later he reluctantly agreed. Blood test off the charts. positive for CD Confirmed (like It needed to be?) with endoscopy. I have a follow up appointment Monday. I will be taking this article for him. Maybe this can help someone else. I think not only should CD patients be tested for MC but visa versa like me.

I have celiac disease, and I had already been on a strict gluten-free diet for years before I developed MC. The GI doctor suspected maybe I was somehow consuming gluten without knowing - the symptoms were so similar - but biopsies confirmed that it was MC alone. (This also shows that it can develop in people with CD even when CD-related inflammation is not active.)
A long list of things can trigger MC, especially medications; all NSAIDs (Advil, aspirin, etc.) and all SSRIs (many common antidepressants) have been linked to it. I'm very glad more studies are being published on this, and I hope more focus is placed on identifying triggers & causes.
I also hope more doctors will consider this as a possibility even if the patient is not in the "typical" age/gender group - I was diagnosed with MC when I was 21.

Good information. Who has developed the "perfect" diet for both (I have both)? Why do we have to push this information on "specialists"? I am tired of being treated like I am stupid and then I am correct. I have also developed such a cough, I know it is food allergies. Ideas?

Air Combat Command Public Affairs
10/5/2006 -
LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. (ACCNS)
-- ACC Commander Gen. Ronald Keys declared initial operational capability for the GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb Oct. 2.
The IOC announcement comes six months ahead of schedule, only weeks after it was initially delivered to the warfighter in early September for Air and Space Expeditionary Force 3/4.
Boeing, the GBU-39B manufacturer, describes the bomb as "the next generation of low-cost and low-collateral damage precision strike weapons for ... employment from fighters, bombers and unmanned aerial vehicles," on their Web site at
. The F-15E Strike Eagle is the only aircraft currently equipped to carry the SDB. However, future potential platforms include the F-16 Fighting Falcon, B-1 Lancer, B-2 Spirit, F-22A Raptor and F-35 Lightening II.
The advantages of the SDB are precision capabilities, light weight, small size and increased aircraft payload. The bomb, a mere 250 pounds, has a smaller lethality radius - but its advanced technology makes the small blast a benefit, not a liability.
"SDB is a very precise coordinate seeking weapon," said Lt. Col. Mark Pierce, ACC Advanced Weapons Requirements Branch deputy chief. "Because of its precision, it doesn't have to carry a lot of explosive material to achieve weapons effects against the specified target. Therefore ... targets can be serviced without the excessive blast and fragmentation of a larger weapon. The result should be less collateral damage."
Furthermore, its small size enables aircraft to carry more weapons, allowing commanders "to service more targets on a single pass." Its mounting carriage, the BRU-61/A, fits four bombs on one weapon pylon.
It's also a versatile weapon. The SDB range is more than 50 nautical miles when launched at 40,000 feet at Mach .95. This enables an aircraft to launch SDBs to multiple targets, while beyond the range of many anti-aircraft systems. Additionally, it's an all-weather weapon, effective day or night and can be fired at targets in front of, to the sides, and behind the employing aircraft. It's effective on stationary targets within 1.2 meters. Typical targets include hardened aircraft bunkers, early-warning radar, stationary SCUD missile launcher, stationary artillery and more, said Colonel Pierce.
Because of the nature of the Global War on Terror, warfighters need a weapon like this now, according to Colonel Pierce. That demand accelerated efforts to get the SDB to the field as soon as possible. Meeting this need approximately six months ahead of schedule is a feat lauded by the ACC commander.
"This milestone is the culmination of outstanding teamwork from the acquisition, industry, and test communities and delivers increased combat capability to the warfighter," said General Keys.

The pendulum rotates as the celestial bodies (and their aether) rotates daily around the Earth.
And during eclipses the pendulum rotates faster!! Which is called the unexplained Allais Effect. So the pendulum movement was a result of some movement "up there" not "down here".

The ISS moves around the earth! Of course it'll look like the ground moves beneath it.. like watching earth from a plane window, or watching the road from a moving train!

Just read your entire blog post here and would like to point out that the October 23, 2013 post with the link to the video "Earth Form Space - Clearly The Earth Doesn't Move" that the cloud cover does change from the first day to the second day. Take a screen capture of the full earth on the first day then another one on the second day, and you can clearly see that the cloud cover in the northern hemisphere has changed from one day to the next. Same thing in the lower right side. Also, when the transition to night occurs, there are two stars visible on the right side of the earth that do not move. Just thought I'd share that.

Also, I looked at one of the links regarding the fake moon landings. The moon landing fakes seem more than plausible, especially since the new scientific community is trying to figure out how to shield the next manned missions from radiation (thought they figured that out in the 60's - LOL). However, I take exception to saying that satellites are myths. If so, how do you account for the video linked above, that fact the directTV and Dish Network satellite receivers must be precisely pointed to the sky to get a signal, google earth and the GPS satellite constellations used for precision navigation -- these are not land-based - they are physical working satellites in orbit. Same goes for the international space station -- you can see it on a clear night with a telescope -- its up there orbiting the earth. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187812747707644707.post-49232242207237728072015-05-12T18:34:34.541-07:002015-05-12T18:34:34.541-07:00Great book!!

What you are investigating here is relative velocity. If you stand at the front of a train that's moving fast and you shoot a bullet perpendicular to the train, the bullet will stay in line with the barrel of the gun as it flies away from the train.

If youre in a train, and you stand at the front of the train, and fired it to the back, and then stand at the back and fire the gun to the front, it will take the EXACT same time for the Bullet to hit the front and the back. The speed of the train is NEGLIGENT relative to the Gun being fired INSIDE the train, BECAUSE everything is moving at the exact same speed. The speed of the train compared to the speed of the bullet only becomes influential when the Gun is fired OUTSIDE The train. Inside the train, it has no effect. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187812747707644707.post-38930728483886254392015-04-18T07:51:52.188-07:002015-04-18T07:51:52.188-07:00"Every experiment ever designed to detect the..."Every experiment ever designed to detect the motion of the earth has failed to detect earth's motion and/or distinguish it from relative counter motion of the universe." - --> Youre already assuming that the Earth doesnt spin WITH the rest of the Universe, rather that the rest of the Universe spins with a motion counter relative to the Earth.

(eg: plane), things that can suspend in space (eg: satellites & space lab), distant communication (eg: telephones), recording past moments & sounds (eg: videos & audio), eradicating communicable diseases that God has created upon his wrath, deflecting a meteriorite from its trajectory, creating test tube babies through IVF. I believe all these things do not happen. Everything is a myth. The current science had made us blind to deviate from the path of God's words. I believe planes cannot fly, satellites do not remain in space, distant communication is a myth, moments cannot be recorded, disease like smallpox cannot be eradicated and finally, test tube babies cannot be made.

If thousand mile per hour atmosphere is constantly flowing Eastward, why don't North/South bound pilots have to set diagonal courses to compensate? If the atmosphere is constantly being pulled along with the Earth's rotation, then why can I feel the slightest Westward breeze but not the Earth's 1,000 mile per hour Eastward spin?"

When you're inside a plane traveling at 800 km/h (222,2 meters per second). Is it harder to walk forward than backwards in the cabin. If you jump and stays in the air for 0,3 seconds - do you land 0,3 x 222,2 = 66,7 meters further back (or hit the wall in the back of the cabin). If a ball is dropped 1 meter above the floor, the fall takes about 0,45 seconds with the 9,8 m/s free fall acceleration
 - wich means it will hit the wall in the back of the cabin before it hits the floor (even if you're standing in the front of the plane). If the cabin was long enough it would land on the floor 100 meters (328 ft) behind where you drop it.

That sounds stupid? Then why would the earth movement be different? Also the effect of the rotation is just neglictable - it's just like make a 360° turn that takes 24 hours

Srimad-Bhagavatam talks extensively on geocentric model.
I have long stopped believing about what we see and what we hear. For example, as a kid, I used to think fluoride is good for health, but the truth is that the Illuminati conspired to add fluoride in drinking water in US (in 1950's) to retard the population over a period of decades so as to control the masses easily. Flouride calcifies the pineal gland and makes people less intelligent over a period of time.

The concept of earth rotating at high speed and we riding on it is a classic free mason concept of taking the masses for a ride.

When you fire a gun from the side of a moving object the bullet (once it leaves the barrel) flies INDEPENDENT of the moving object from which it was launched.
Get it? It does NOT keep moving at the speed of the platform from which it was launched. It is as though you were just standing at that point and shooting.

There wouldn't be a slight effect from a turning earth, there would be a HUGE effect!
Any projectile when fired anything but due east and west would curve.
And a bullet fired at a target a mile away due south (at my lattitude 880 yards per second 'rotation alleged'- North America) would be about 1600 yards off to the side from where you aimed!!!!!

When I snipe I need to be aware of a 5 mph wind that will greatly effect the flight of my projectile. But I in NO WAY need to EVEN CONSIDER the direction I am facing when I shoot. Even though it should affect my aim by almost A MILE!!!
The wind does not 'catch' the bullet and carry it at 1000mph in whatever direction I am aiming + or - the 5mph i am adjusting for... the momentum of the barrel of the gun does not push the bullet to the side lol or we would all see uneven wear on the left side of the barrel of our guns from always shooting North as the earth pushed the bullets to the side at 1000mph. AND we would see different wear and tear depending on lattitude. Guns in the Arctic theoretically would last longer as less rotational force would be on them.
Ive shot guns in my back yard in the same direction for over 40 years. They wear out evenly.

You guys really that bad at math?
How do you not get this?

Once in the air the projectile is FREE from the ground plane. It is not being 'blown' by the wind at 1000mph to hold its course lol. It is cutting right through it. That is what bullets do best. A 5mph wind will move my bullet but NOT AT 5mph.. lol just like a 1000mph wind would move my bullet but not at 1000mph and certainly not instantly as would be required.

It will follow from point A to point B as though you are still standing at the point from which you fired it. THAT IS WHAT BULLETS DO TEST IT YOURSELF. I have.

The Earth does NOT rotate or move AT ALL.
A bullet easily proves this.
Therefore the Earth CANNOT be a round ball floating in space OR even attached to ANYTHING that is moving AT ALL.

Therefore the stars are rotating above us as the ground is not.
Since the stars rotate, and both rotation points can be seen at the same time from the equator, then the Earth CANNOT be FLAT and on some infinite plane of ground.

It MUST therefore be a cave. We are inside it. Pushed to the sides instead sucked to the ground as would be on a round ball.
not a big leap of imagination required here peoples. The Sun is much smaller than you probably realize and runs on electricity as recently proven by Harvard University. Gravity, Time, Magnetism and Electricity are all very interrelated. And every crater is perfectly round no impact ever came at a 45 degree angle or 60 degree angle to ANY celestial object EVER (cause they were made by electricity. There is SO MUCH evidence and PROOF, Wake up Neo.
Math is math. Truth is truth.

Therefore the ENTIRE UNIVERSE (or at least a mind bogglingly large amount of it) is ONE SOLID NON-MOVING CAVE SYSTEM. With some mighty big caves that have their own Suns in them. I would guess someone long ago added the light for us as they knew how to do it.
The rest easily naturally formed by a 'big zap' as opposed to a bang. theelectricuniverse.com and wildheretic.com for more info on that.

Now you know where you live and you know the best news you will ever know.

The way out is DOWN. And depending on what side of the Earth cave you are on you can find better worlds in that direction that would be amazed that you found a way out. you would be a hero and a champion amongst your kind. Then they would come and make sure none of the rest of us can get out that way hahaha

That is why it is called a Rabbit Hole.

Run rabbit... the matrix has you.

"The North Star, also known as Polaris, is known to stay fixed in our sky. It marks the location of the sky's north pole, the point around which the whole sky turns. That's why you can always use Polaris to find the direction north.

But the North Star does move. If you took its picture, you'd find that it makes its own little circle around the exact point of the north celestial pole every day. That's because the North Star is really offset a little – by about three-quarters of a degree – from celestial north.

Where does this movement – or in Polaris' case, lack of movement – come from ? Earth spins under the sky once a day. Earth's spin causes the sun in the daytime – and the stars at night – to rise in the east and set in the west. But the North Star is a special case. Because it lies almost exactly above Earth's northern axis, it's like the hub of a wheel. It doesn't rise or set. Instead, it appears to stay put in the northern "

Plus...why would it be against God or Jesus to have the earth be rotating or not if God created everything? Just a question :-)

So if I jump off one way or the other from the horse there will be a difference and many variables why...The thing with the airplane is that it is not touching the earth...it has a minuscule mass compared to the earth as well, it also has it's own velocity and It's mass is so small that there will be relatively little difference in either direction. Think about it like this.... I am running along side a slow moving train.... I am going the same speed... But when I jump on I am now stationary, yet "moving" at the speed of the train at the same time. I am "moving" while the train moves in space and time, but I am also stationary... AND I can run to the front Of the train and also to the back of the train at the same speed and get there at the same time with little difference unless the train goes up or down a slope and then gravity would come into more play.... There are scientific connections between mass, speed, relativity That pertain to why the earth is rotating but we don't feel it. We are subatomic particles relative to the earths mass.... Just as when we humans walk around, our subatomic particles that make up our mass are not being blown out of us.... They are connected to us and our gravity and move with us fluidly..........if a bird was flying outside of a train by an open window and then flew in, it would continue to go the speed of the train... But if it landed on a seat railing, it could move around as it wanted.. It became part of the train, it's motion, its relativity to all of it and stopped its velocity with the train.. Now, if it wanted to exit the train, it would have a hard time, because it's momentum of speed has halted and so it could be blown back if it went out the window again from a speed of 0 .... Anyway.... Your theory interested me but can be unfortunately debunked by what science has proven. But I so liked reading it and you are a very smart and great person! Xo...I hope to read more if you have any other ideas... My brain loves to hear other points of view :-). Blessings!

Yes.. If jumping off of a horse while the horse is moving one way and I the other would be different ..the reason is our masses are quite similar relative to our weights on such a small scale, and there of course will be a difference because mathematically our masses are quite closely related...plus, I was actually part of the horse while touching it with the speed of the horse to begin with.
...But the mass of the earth is enormous... And so, a plane's resistance, going against the rotation of the earth, would be so unbelievably small that it would not be unnoticeable in "time"..and it is "off of the earth as well..not attached to its gravity and has such a minuscule amount of mass compared to the earth that it's subatomic in comparison....Plus think about this.... If I'm running outside of a slow moving train I'm going about the same speed... But once I jump onto that train, I am now different to its relativity... I am now " part of that train".. I am stationary, yet moving WItH the train...and I can run just as fast towards the front of the train as I can towards the back of the train in the same amount of time :-). Doesn't mean the train is stationary because I can now run in either direction just as fast :-)suziepeacehttp://email@example.com

Celebrate gay pride by lending a hand at a festival or parade.
- Where
- Los Angeles, CA, United States
Day 34: T'is the season for Gay Pride! All over the country since May, festivals and pride parades have been kicking off left and right. That means plenty of ways you could be helping out -- like by manning a booth at a festival or joining a group to walking in a parade. Of course, you could always show your support simply by attending!
You can show your support while enjoying a good show, too: for example, Demi Lovato will serve as grand marshal and perform at the L.A. Pride parade in West Hollywood this weekend, while Jennifer Hudson will perform during Chicago's Pride Fest.
Consult the Gay Pride Calendar (linked below) to find the nearest event to you. Because I have a schedule conflict that prevents me from attending my own local pride parade here in LA, today I helped one of my volunteer groups BFLA make hundreds of rainbow fans to hand out (this weekend should be a scorcher)! So remember helping prep for and set up the festival is an option you could consider, as well.
