Well. This is an interesting recipe. Probably about a 3 1/2. My garlic cloves were not really soft after 20 minutes, so I cooked them about another 10 minutes. As I was just making this for myself, I did not want to heat up the oven, so I toasted my bread, then rubbed it with the garlic, and then put it in my oversized soup mug. Cheese went on top and then a quick zap in the micro got it melty - used more cheese. My poaching technique leaves a lot to be desired, so I beat the egg and poured it in a ribbon into the broth - as for egg drop soup. I did find I desired both more salt and pepper than called for. It's a delicate soup - perhaps a bit too delicate for me. I'm more a big and bold rather than delicate. Still, it is quite an interesting soup and I will say this for it - I was so tired when I got home today that I could barely stand, but I feel amazingly revived after eating my bowl of soup.
WOW. I made a few changes, but this was amazing. I used beef broth in place of the water, a pinch of crushed sage in place of the leaves, and I added quite a bit more salt and pepper. But I realllyyyyy liked this. It sounds so weird, but....just woah. This is going in my best of 2012 cookbook for sure! Thanks Syd!
Excellent soup! This has a very mild garlic flavor, but makes a very nice, comforting lunch on a cold day. I used homemade french bread and eggs from my back yard chickens, which likely amped up the flavor a bit. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt- taste the broth after removing the poached egg, and season to taste. Although I had this by itself, it would be perfect with a lightly dressed green salad and a glass of white wine. Also, a perfect light first course for a dinner party. Thanks for sharing!

Anticipatory Set:Ask students if they have ever heard a cheer where the audience is asked to spell a word. What word is it? (Often the name of the team or its nickname is spelled. Also "victory" is spelled in cheers for sporting events.) Tell the class that you will lead a cheer in which they will supply the necessary letters. Ask for a volunteer to keep track of the letters on the board or chart paper as you lead the cheer. Begin your cheer, shaking your pompoms. Say, give me a "V." Continue until you have spelled "volunteer." At the end of the cheer, say, "What does it spell?" Wait for the correct response. Clap and stop.
Day One:
What is a "volunteer?" (One who freely offers his or her service; one who performs a service or good work for others without pay.) Encourage students to discover the definition as it relates to a service completed with no desire for restitution and contributes to the common good.
Select one of the Brief Biographies (Attachment One) to read with an emphasis on volunteering. Use markers to emphasize points in relation to the Core Democratic Values (Attachment Two). Students should have prior knowledge about the Core Democratic Values. If not, it will be necessary to develop an understanding of these concepts. Ask students to explain which Core Democratic Value was evident in the selection.
Distribute one Brief Biography (Attachment One) to each team of students. Tell students that they will have an opportunity to work with a partner to determine the virtues of an individual from Brief Biographies (Attachment One). They should mark, highlight, or make notes on the sheet. Allow ten minutes.
Reconvene students for group presentations. The presentations should focus on the volunteer action, who benefited, and the Core Democratic Value that was emphasized.
In a summary discussion, have students assess the importance of "volunteers" during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Day Two:
Ask the learners to discuss whether they as students have a responsibility to act in the voluntary sector to improve the common good. Using It Can Be Done (Attachment Three), survey the class to determine for what type of organizations they would like to volunteer. Reiterate the format that should be used, placing emphasis on how you contact the organization to volunteer your services. What type of jobs can be done? What are the responsibilities of the jobs? Who will be the contact person? What is the address of the organization? How will it benefit the organization and which members of our community will ultimately benefit? Tell students that they are going to present their information to the class the next time you meet. The balance of the class period should be used for this assignment. If the work is not finished, encourage students to complete the assignment as homework.
Day Three: Explain to the students that they should pay close attention to the presentations because they will be voting later to select an organization for which to volunteer as a class. After all of the information has been presented and collected, write the names of the organizations on the board or chart paper. Tell students that they are to vote only once and that the organization with the most votes will be the class project for volunteerism and service. Take the vote.
Ask students why they think the organization selected would be a good choice. Divide them into groups of three or four to brainstorm about the jobs and responsibilities that are required to make this volunteer effort work. Volunteer Responsibilities (Attachment Four) should be used for gathering this information. Students should work cooperatively for 20-30 minutes. At the end of this time, ask for three volunteers to work in a group to contact the organization.
As the teacher, once you have presented the project to your administrator or appropriate supervisor, you will need to prepare a letter for parents/guardians to gain permission for the students to take part.
Students should assess their volunteer activity once the project is completed. It Can Be Done is to be used as the lesson assessment. Information Sheet Rubric Points Awarded Criteria 4 Clear and detailed answers for 9-11 of the questions are provided 3 Answers in detail at least 7-8 of the questions 2 Provides answers to 5-6 of the questions 1 Detailed information provided for 4 or less of the questions

An image circulating on the Internet Monday of the Statue of Liberty in New York City overshadowed by ominous clouds brought on by Hurricane Sandy is just one of many Photoshopped images being used by the public to comment on the severe weather.
The frightening photo has actually been recycled numerous times, according to Snopes.com, a source for debunking and confirming rumors.
"[...] it's a digital manipulation created by merging a picture of the Statue of Liberty with a separate photograph of a supercell thunderstorm snapped in Nebraska by photographer Mike Hollingshead on May 28, 2004," Snopes.com reports. more >>
While preparing to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy on Monday, World Vision workers in New York City were forced to evacuate their own facilities and leave their relief supplies behind due to fear of flooding.
Phyllis Freeman, the organization's domestic disaster director, told The Christian Post on Monday that the World Vision office and warehouse in New York is located near the East River in the Bronx. That area flooded when Hurricane Irene hit last year, a firefighter told a World Vision staffer, so the organization decided to move its personnel out of the area as a safety precaution when the river began rising again.
The organization's offices will flood, says Freeman, but the supplies are in a location where they will likely be safe until the response team can return later on. Unfortunately, without access to the supplies, the organization will have to wait to distribute relief items out of that location. more >>
With just one week until election day, Hurricane Sandy is already having an impact on political campaigns. If power outages last a week, the effects could still reverberate on election day itself.
Both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney have suspended campaign activities as the Northeast braces for the storm.
With government shutdowns across the region, it also means that many early voting locations have temporarily shut down as well. Campaigns will have to curtail their door-to-door canvassing efforts. And news coverage that would normally be devoted to talking about the election will be spent talking about the storm. more >>
With Hurricane Sandy nearing landfall in the Northeast, some liberal publications have dug up old comments Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made about federal disaster aid. The debate over whether disaster aid is best administered by the federal government or state and private agencies resurfaces often during national disasters.
During a June 13, 2011, Republican presidential debate, Romney was asked about reducing the national debt. The host of the debate, CNN's John King, then asked if federal disaster aid is also an area where he would give more responsibility to the states.
"Absolutely," Romney answered. "Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better. more >>
Web users were in awe Monday morning of an image showing Honor Guards standing on duty at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in the face of adverse weather as Hurricane Sandy bore down on the East Coast.
"Soldiers stand guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Guarded non-stop since 1948. In Sandy's path they continue," shared Kristy Bolsinger as she re-tweeted the popular image on Twitter.
Tyler Borchers was so impressed that he used only one word to react to the striking image: "Powerful." more >>
As Hurricane Sandy targets the East Coast, nearly 8,000 airline flights have been cancelled. Mass closures of schools and public transit systems have resulted; hundreds of thousands of residents have been told to evacuate their homes. Federal government offices in the Washington area are closed today. The New York Stock Exchange is closing its trading floor as well, its first weather-related closure in 27 years.
What does "Frankenstorm" mean for the presidential election, now just eight days away? Politico suggests five possibilities. One: it could slow Mitt Romney's momentum by lessening his ability to campaign in states affected by the storm. Two: it could give President Obama a natural advantage as he exercises his duties in response to the emergency. Three: it could affect last-minute TV ads, as people without power won't see them. Four: it won't affect early voting much, as most of the states in the storm's path allow such voting only for absentees. Five: it could hamper Democrats' efforts to get out their vote.
As our country braces for one of the most destructive storms in years, it's natural to ask: why would an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God allow such a disaster? If God is sovereign, he must either cause or allow all that happens. However, as I often say in dealing with evil and suffering, he then redeems for greater good all he allows. How might he redeem Hurricane Sandy? more >>

Allison O'Dell Zang, Shorewest Realtors
Agent Brings A Diverse Background to Real Estate
Allison O'Dell Zang started her career with a bachelor's degree in finance and marketing from Babson College. She first went into the banking and investment arena, which segued into marketing and training of investment representatives for a bank on the East Coast. She then got into graphic design through the training literature she designed. Next she got into some entrepreneurial ventures. Finally, she took five years off when she, her husband and her children moved to Wisconsin.
"We moved here for my husband's job and I wanted to get the kids settled. Once I decided to go back to work, I thought for a long time about what I wanted to do. I wanted to balance as a busy parent of three daughters with a spouse who travels a lot for his career. I wanted something that would utilize my financial, marketing and entrepreneurial background. It needed to be something I'm passionate about, and I've been interested in homes, architecture and real estate for decades since my father would bring home plans to remodel our house. It seemed to all fit together, and in late 2010 I started interviewing real estate companies and chose Shorewest and have been happy since," Zang said. She discusses her career and approach to selling real estate in this edited interview.
What do you enjoy about selling real estate?
Real estate is my way of really impacting people's lives. It is not in my playbook to cure cancer or do anything like that, but where people live affects their family, their job and their hobbies. It affects everything to have a place to live that is appropriate to each person's lifestyle. To have a hand in helping them with that is really rewarding and significant for me. I feel like I am adding something to their world and our community.
What role do you believe a realtor should play for a client?
First of all, a realtor should be a coach. In Wisconsin, you can work with an agent as a customer or a client. When you work with someone as a client, you serve as a referee to make sure everyone is playing by the rules and does their part, legally and ethically. When you are working with someone as a customer on the buying end, it is really more to coach them through the process by explaining from start to finish how the process works, working with lenders, understanding inspection and all that goes into the process.
What do you consider to be your biggest challenge?
The market is changing and to get buyers to act quickly is a challenge, as is getting sellers to understand that they still need to price their home fairly.
What makes you different as a real estate agent?
My background in finance and working with the numbers, making sure that it all makes sense for immediate and long-term goals, is what makes me different. I also bring to it an extensive background in marketing and graphics, which brings more of an out-of-the-box experience. With the ways people communicate changing so much, it is really important to understand and be flexible to use social media and technology. I really love spending time with my clients and I believe they benefit from my diverse background. I have also relocated and moved from one home to another in this community. I know the challenge of finding a community that fits your family.
What qualities make for a good realtor?
Communication and ethics are key qualities. There are a lot of realtors who are primarily salespeople, and that is one business plan that works for a lot of agents. I consider myself someone who offers a service to help people make a significant step in their lives easier, more effective and efficient.
Have you had any mentors?
I have worked with two agents as a buyer and seller. One is Essam Elsafy; the other is Kate Kenlay, the sales director of Shorewest's North Shore office. Both were significant in my entering the real estate market and both suggested I become an agent. They have really given me some good advice and they are both outstanding agents who I can look up to. There are also countless other agents in our office who are all outstanding, and we are always talking with each other and sharing advice.
What do you do for recreation or to relax?
I do a lot of projects at home like tiling and painting. My family is very hands-on. I spend a lot of time with my three girls who are very active; one is in gymnastics.
What charitable groups do you work with?
I volunteer for Junior Achievement and have been doing that since moving to Wisconsin. In the past, I have served on the board of a gymnastics club. Besides that, we have been active in the community by serving with the local festivals and other programs.

Skip to comments.SNL Cold Open: Harry Reid Reveals Himself To Be A Birther! (VIDEO)
Posted on 10/26/2010 6:52:50 AM PDT by FreeAtlanta
SNL opened last night with a sketch spoofing President Obama (Fred Armisen) making a campaign stop in Nevada to stump for a struggling Harry Reid (Paul Brittain). After a glowing introduction from Obama, Reid asks him if he'd mind if he distanced himself from the President. "Do what you have to do, Harry, I've got your back," says Obama. Whereupon Reid reveals that he is actually a Birther.
I dont understand why, if you were born in this country, you wont just show us your birth certificate. I mean is that too much to ask?
Youre right! Says Obama to the crowd, I probably should!.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
"It is one of a thousand cuts that are helping us get America to wake up."
Excellent point. I keep waiting, and wishing for that knockout blow that will totally sink Obama. But I don't think that's coming. But the death of a thousand cuts seems to be well on it's way.
Actually a pretty funny skit.
Diss on reid.
Always good to start the day with a smile.
SNL is in one of it's lowest, unfunny periods.
Technically they're painting Obama as a birther by agreeing he should release his birth certificate. This goes well his wife, Michelle, who, as a birther, said her husband's home country is Kenya.
Heres the skit Id like to see on SNL.......
A young man goes into the DMV to apply for a drivers license and when the clerk asks for proof of identity the man tells him I forgot to bring my birth certificate with me but its posted in the internet. He proceeds to show the clerk his birth certificate on his Face Book page.
When the clerk refuses to accept that as proof of identity the young man says Why not? It worked for Obama.

This week, the Boston Red Sox reached out to the Kansas City Royals about a possible trade for the Royals' closer, Joakim Soria, according to SB Nation. Kansas City was apparently seeking more than Boston was offering in return, so the talks have apparently stalled—at least publicly.
I hope the Red Sox have not given up.
Soria is an under-the-radar, high-quality relief pitcher who has had success closing, and he could be an excellent addition to the Boston bullpen. With Soria in the fold, the Red Sox would have some real flexibility—especially if the newly-acquired arm from Houston, Mark Melancon, does not adapt well to the bright lights and pressure of the AL East.
Here are five reasons Boston should be patient and persistent in their pursuit of Soria.

1. Diverse work culture
2. Lack of cohesion between acquired entities and parent firm
3. Uncertainty in the minds of employees, identity crisis
4. Concerns about career prospects in the forged entity
5. Unfamiliarity with uniform regulations and practices across the organization
6. Varying skills and competencies
If the organization has a work culture that favors team work, it is difficult to form a unified team when team members are from different organizational backgrounds. There are natural barriers to "new" employees who may not be easily accepted in the team, if they earlier belonged to another bank. The "breaking in" may take longer and affect group cohesiveness. Lack of familiarity with the organizations functioning and different work cultures may affect group tasks and processes. All these factors affect team performance and productivity.
Managers can deal with the challenges in the following ways:
1. Encouraging natural interaction between all the employees: Ban Columbia has achieved this by creating an open office with identical resources for all employees, irrespective of their position.
2. Reinforcing the idea of a unified, flat structure: This encourages integration of employees, as there is no segregation based on old and new or on hierarchy. All employees identify with the organization.
3. Conducting a formal orientation for all employees.
4. Skills and competencies should be brought on par, so that no employee is disadvantaged.
5. Employees have common rules and regulations and adopt an identical culture.
6. The open culture enables employees to build new friendships.
7. Using more cross functional teams to carry out tasks and processes.
8. Imbibing the diverse knowledge and skills of team members and unifying service delivery standards.

The casual observer probably wouldn't have drawn the conclusion that the two teams playing at Dick Bivins Stadium on Thursday night were playing it safe knowing they had playoff berths awaiting.
That's because they certainly didn't play like they were secure.
In the final game of the regular season between two teams that had clinched playoff berths out of District 3-4A, Canyon and Palo Duro didn't look like teams mailing it in to avoid injuries. In fact, they went a little bit extra.
After forcing overtime with 22 seconds left in regulation, Canyon took advantage of a goal-line fumble by Palo Duro in overtime. Four plays later, instead of opting for a chip shot field goal, Canyon's Blake Weaver flipped a 7-yard scoring pass over the middle to Issac Garland to give the Eagles a 27-21 victory.
Because Canyon (8-2, 3-2 in district) already knew it was going to host Frenship at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 in a Class 4A Division II bidistrict playoff game, this win didn't mean much on paper. But after last week's 44-0 rout by Amarillo High, the Eagles needed the win for their psyche.
"It was a big win for us," Canyon coach Blake Bryant said. "I'm not going to lie, we needed it for our confidence."
Palo Duro (6-4, 4-2) led 21-14 with less than two minutes left and was driving down the field when the Eagles stopped the Dons at the Canyon 20-yard line. Tito Estrada came on for a 37-yard field goal which would have clinched the game, but the Eagles blocked it and took over at their own 17.
Weaver, who had missed the previous four games with a high ankle sprain, threw three straight incompletions and it came down to a final play for the Eagles. He then hit Clay Erwin for a 13-yard gain which got the ball rolling as Canyon moved to Palo Duro's 16.
On third-and-11, Weaver flipped his second touchdown pass of the night to Graeson Cook from 16 yards out to tie the game 21-21 with 22 seconds left. Cook had a huge night with eight catches for 163 yards.
Palo Duro got the ball first in overtime and from the 16-yard line, quarterback Malik Sims scrambled and approached the goal line, but lost control of the ball and it went into the end zone for a touchdown, giving the Eagles possession and needing any score to win.
Walker Horn ran for 19 yards to the 6 on the first play, but the Eagles faced a third-and-goal from the 7. Instead of going for three points, Weaver flipped a pass over the middle which Garland caught at the goal line and took in for the score to end the game.
"We were just trying to keep the ball in field goal range," said Weaver, who threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns. "We were just trying to catch (Palo Duro) off guard."
Palo Duro dominated the first half by a greater degree than a 13-0 advantage indicated. The Dons had twice as many yards as Canyon, but both teams had two interceptions to thwart drives.
"We had opportunities during the course of the game to put the thing away and we didn't," PD coach Steve Parr said. "We just didn't make the plays at the end."
Despite the fumble, Sims still had a big night, throwing for 240 yards and two touchdowns to Joseph Taylor (who had six catches for 124 yards). Sims also led the Dons in rushing with 92 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.
Palo Duro will travel to Lubbock next week for the 4A Division I bidistrict game against the winner of Friday night's Lubbock High-Lubbock Monterey game.

INDIA: Fuji Oil, 3F to build ingredients plant
By Hannah Abdulla | 20 January 2014
the new facility will specialise in the production of non-dairy cream for the bakery and confectionery sectors.
Japanese food and oil firm Fuji Oil Company has formed a joint venture with India's 3F Industries to set up a production facility to make ingredients for bakery and confectionery customers.
The plant will be situated in the state of Andhra Pradesh, close to the city of Hyderabad where 3F, a manufacturer of bakery fats, margarine and confectionery fats, has its headquarters. It is expected to start production by March 2015.
The initial investment into the project is expected to be around INR1bn (US$16m). Fuji Oil will have the majority share of the new company in a 55:45 split. The company said on its website "expansion within the Asian market" was one of the key focuses for the group's global management.
Yoshitaka Ebihara, chairman of Fuji Oil Japan, expressed his delight at the new partnership.
"The integration of sales/marketing network of 3F and 3F's best-in-class customer services together with our quality cream will enable customers in India to expand their confectionery and bread business more. This joint venture is Fuji Oil's first foothold in India, where high growth of the market is expected. We are confident that the joint venture will grow rapidly and make sustainable growth."
3F director Sushil Goenka added: "We are very happy to partner with Fuji Oil and explore the rapidly growing market of non-dairy cream and supply world-class products to our customers. This partnership will also allow us to build further scale and competencies in areas of processed vegetable oils and fats and other foods products for the Indian market."
The demand for cream in India is estimated to be around 90,000 tons per annum. The market for non-dairy whip cream is expected to expand at 15-20% per annum.
3F INDUSTRIES LTD., an Indian Edible Oils, Fats & Food ingredients conglomerate, has together with FUJI OIL CO., LTD., a Tokyo stock exchange listed company and world leaders in edible oils, fats and processed foods, inked an agreement for setting up a Joint venture.
Mr. Yoshitaka Ebihara, Chairman, Fuji Oil; Mr. S.B.Goenka, Chairman, 3F; Mr. Tomoyuki Yoshida, Managing Director, Fuji Oil Asia Pte. Ltd., and Mr.Sushil Goenka, Director, 3F announced this at a Press conference, here today. The initiative involves setting up of a state-of-the-art facility for production of non-dairy cream and other food ingredients for use in the bakery & confectionary Industry. The plant will be situated in the outskirts of Hyderabad at Burgul in Mahbubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh.
Both the companies bring their strengths of extensive product knowledge, strong R&D and excellent marketing network, to ensure success of this joint venture. Fuji oil is a leading producer of Oils, Fats, Food ingredients and Processed foods, with marketing footprint across the globe. It has established several state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Japan and other countries. 3F Industries (formerly Foods, Fats and Fertilisers Ltd), a 50 year old company based in Andhra Pradesh, is a pioneer in the manufacture and sale of bakery shortenings, margarine and other specialty fats in India, with modern manufacturing facilities, extensive marketing network and a wide customer base.
The joint venture will build a modern plant using the latest technology from Japan and equipment from leading process equipment manufacturers in the world. The initial investment in the plant, machinery and land is expected to be around Rs 100 crores and the plant is expected to commence production by March 2015. The JV will be partnered 55:45 with Fuji oil having the majority share. Whilst Fuji Oil, Japan would bring in world-class technology, 3F Industries would beinvolved in the setting up of the project, distribution and marketing of the products.
The plant will produce high-quality non-dairy whipping cream to suit the taste of Indian consumers and tap the huge potential this country presents. The demand for cream in the Country is estimated to be around 90,000 tons per annum. The market for non-dairy whip cream is expected to expand at 15-20% per annum. We are entering this rapidly growing market to make available high quality products and will initially focus on satiating the demand from bakeries, hotels & restaurants, confectioners and retail outlets. With an in-depth knowledge of the market and huge customer base, the Joint venture Company is expected to post promising results.

Skip to comments.Right War, Right Place, Right Time(Burlingame:"the Kerry campaign is not telling you the truth")
Posted on 10/07/2004 2:29:24 PM PDT by fight_truth_decay
Earlier this month, five 9/11 widows held an emotional press conference and -- one by one -- stood before a microphone to talk about fear. They invoked the tragic loss of their loved ones three years ago and declared that concern for their children's future has moved them to endorse the candidacy of John F. Kerry. These are the very same women who just six months ago angrily denounced the use of fleeting images of Ground Zero in a Bush campaign ad, saying it was a form of exploitation that was "unconscionable" and "disgusting." They asserted that neither candidate should use 9/11 for personal political gain, calling the use of 9/11 "a slap in the face of the murders of 3,000 people."
Though these same widows participated in an anti-Bush demonstration sponsored by MoveOn.org demanding that the president pull his television ads off the air, they maintained then, as they do now, that they are nonpartisan, that they are moved solely by their conscience and by a sense of civic duty. At the close of their press conference, Kerry handlers distributed press releases declaring that "9/11 Families Endorse John Kerry for President" and announced that the widows might be used in television ads in swing states.
Sen. Kerry begins every stump speech these days by introducing these 9/11 widows to kind applause. As we enter the final leg of the presidential race, the Kerry campaign appears to have calculated that the war in Vietnam is not the war the American people want to talk about. And so, trading on their status as 9/11 family members associated with the 9/11 Commission, the Kerry campaign is deploying these September 11 widows on a nationwide tour to tell the American people that there is no connection between Iraq and the war on terrorism. This declaration will come as a surprise to the folks who actually wrote the 9/11 Commission Report. These widows may be speaking from the heart, but the Kerry campaign is not telling you the truth.
Anyone who has actually read the report would know that the 9/11 Commission had plenty to say about the connections between al Qaeda and Iraq, but because much of its findings were beyond the scope of its charter, important details went unstated in public hearings or were buried in the minutiae of the published narrative. Virtually every reporter I have spoken to has failed to answer this basic question satisfactorily: "Have you actually read the report?" The answer is almost always a sheepish "No." Those who have only given it a cursory scan may have missed the fine-print chapter notes where explosive information about names, dates, places, and conversations concerning the Iraq-al Qaeda connection are outlined in chilling detail.
To cite but one of many examples, it states that Saddam Hussein -- wanting to curry favor with other Arab governments wary of Osama bin Laden -- was not responsive to a 1996 request by bin Laden for safe haven in Iraq when the Sudanese government was poised to give him the boot. After bin Laden declared war against the U.S. in 1998, two al Qaeda operatives went to Iraq to meet with Iraqi intelligence. Later, a delegation of Iraqi officials traveled to Afghanistan and offered to set bin Laden up. Taliban leaders, concerned with the increasing possibility of retaliatory strikes by the U.S., urged bin Laden to go. During heated discussions with other Clinton administration policy-makers about the effect of launching missile strikes on bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan, then NSC Counterterrorism Coordinator Richard Clarke worried that bin Laden would "boogie to Baghdad" where he would put his network at Saddam's service and be all the harder to root out, given Saddam's formidable security apparatus.
The Commission further reported that terrorist training camps, now eliminated by the coalition forces of Operation Iraqi Freedom, were set up in Northern Iraq with bin Laden's help. Al Qaeda associate Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was given safe haven by Saddam Hussein after he fled Afghanistan. It is Zarqawi, a chemical weapons expert, who is believed to be the leading force behind Ansar al-Islam, the terrorist organization bin Laden assisted in founding several years ago and which is carrying out beheadings and suicide bombings in Iraq today.
As one of 150 9/11 family members who have signed an open letter strongly supporting the president's decision to prosecute the war on terror in Iraq, I would remind Americans who think the presence of WMD are the sine qua non for any pre-emptive war that the 19 terrorists who slaughtered 3,000 innocent men, women and children in a matter of minutes were sponsored by the Taliban, a backward regime that had neither WMD nor the technology to produce them. Saddam may not have had a hand in the plot that killed our loved ones, but American troops found ample evidence that he wishes he had, including the murals he commissioned for public display depicting airplanes exploding into the World Trade Center towers, but with this added conceit: one shows the planes painted in the colors of Iraqi airlines while Saddam's grinning portrait looms in the foreground in yet another.
Anyone who has actually read the report would know that the 9/11 Commission had plenty to say about the connections between al Qaeda and Iraq, but because much of its findings were beyond the scope of its charter, important details went unstated in public hearings or were buried in the minutiae of the published narrative. Virtually every reporter I have spoken to has failed to answer this basic question satisfactorily: "Have you actually read the report?" The answer is almost always a sheepish "No." Those who have only given it a cursory scan may have missed the fine-print chapter notes where explosive information about names, dates, places, and conversations concerning the Iraq-al Qaeda connection are outlined in chilling detail.
Hudayfa Azzam, the son of bin Laden's longtime mentor Abdullah Azzam, told Agence France Presse that the Iraqi regime worked closely with al Qaeda in Iraq before the war. "Saddam Hussein's regime welcomed them with open arms and young al Qaeda members entered Iraq in large numbers, setting up an organization to confront the occupation," he said in an interview published 8/29/2004. Azzam added that al Qaeda fighters "infiltrated into Iraq with the help of Kurdish mujahideen from Afghanistan, across mountains in Iran" and that once they arrived, Saddam "strictly and directly" controlled their activities.

Ms. Burlingame, a lifelong Democrat, is co-founder of "9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America" [this website]. Her brother, Chic Burlingame, was the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, which was crashed at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
Burlingame told Boortz today (10.07.04) they have tried to speak to reporters after viewing repeated interviews with the "Jersey Girls" (Kristen Breitweiser, the most prominent of the "Jersey Girls" -- the group of 9/11 widows who, angered by what they view as the Bush administration's stone-walling of the 9/11 Commission, recently endorsed Kerry), but reporters would only listen and they never they from them again. Thus, with the same frustration as the SwiftBoat vets; they have started this website to show that Kerry speaks for only a handful of 911 familes and is misleading America.

War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time" slogan. I can only assume that to those
who died on September 11, 2001 Kerry would like to say, "Wrong Plane,
Wrong Building, Wrong Time".
You would think that these leftist reporters, Kerry's Campaign, and those 'BoB' widows (don't they remind you of Kerry's BoB, recently MIA due to the Swift Vets?) would no longer be so quick to rule out Saddam's involvement in 9/11 an terror.
With regard to terror, there is a mountain of proof of Saddam's involvement in supporting terror, going back decades.
With regard to 9/11, there are very credible suggestions coming out of the Oil for Food scandal that Saddam very likely FUNDED 9/11, and ongoing insurgents/terrorist attacks in Iraq right now. I site Fox's recent Breaking Point story about the Oil for Food scandal.
This story paints a picture of a broke Usama in late 2000. Then after a fall 2000 meeting with Iraqi intelligence agents, suddenly Usama has money coming out of his butt - which he then sent on to the 9/11 hijackers.
Hmmmm - might there be some connection? Where in the heck are the leftist reporters who spent 8 months writing Abu Graihb stories?
I'm kinda new, what is BTTT? Plus, I forwarded the web site to Major Garrett, hopefully he will listen to these families. If anyone deserves to be heard it is them.
BTTT means "back to the top".
Welcome to FreeRepublic.com.
Glad to have you aboard FR (FreeRepublic.com). Since you're new, I thought I would send you something that might make your stay on FR easier and better. It will give you info about FR and also on HTML picture and link posting, etc.
Here is a link. Go to post #116 first (link should take you right to that post), and look under "Pictures". That will give a walk-thru for picture posting. That article gives a lot of very useful and helpful tips on HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), which you need to post on FR. There are other related links and information there as well.
You might want to bookmark that article. Bookmarking puts an article on your FReeper Profile page for quick and easy referencing. See post #53 & 59 for bookmarking instructions.
If you have any questions or problems, feel free to send me a Freep mail or a note and well work through it.
Bush should explain this at the debate,give these examples and tell the public about the murals,this would help greatly!
WHY ! Why doesn't the Bush team get this information out.What is their problem?
Burlingham said today (10.07.04 Boortz) the murals alone show a Iraqi tie, as in Saddam's support of the attack on 9-11. Saddam was proud to be represented in the one mural found.
Yes! The only thing I disagreed with Cheney on Tues. was when he said he doesn't question Kerry's patriotism. I do. When you say things like that, it's UNpatriotic. Period.
the one mural showing the planes painted in the "colors of Iraqi airlines" with Saddam's grinning portrait
The right is being too nice to the left. I don't like it!
When you "BTTT" or "Bump", all you are doing is making a reply to an article (thread). However, what that means is that your new reply has now been placed on top of the "Latest Posts" queue. Here's a direct link to the "Latest Posts" queue: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/browse?ao=0
Most people monitor the "Latest Posts" queue for any new replies to threads.
Depending on the number of new articles being posted, an article that currently appears on the news sidebars, e.g. "News/Activism Breaking News," may scroll off the sidebar fairly fast and folks will miss that article if they log in later. A BTTT or Bump (or Ping) keeps an article current or active, even if its title doesn't appear in the news sidebar.
Another way to use BTTT or Bump is as a place maker in a thread (or as a reminder to yourself to "read later"). When you make any reply in a thread, even if it's simply 'BTTT,' it also appears in your "Pings" (or "My Comments") screen. So it's a way to help you keep up when you don't have time to read the articles at a particular moment (which is often the case for me).
See reply numbers 17 and 18 in the thread "What do PING, BTTT and BUMP mean?
Also of interest: "Revised & Updated! -- THE LEXICON OF FREEREPUBLIC -- (FR dictionary, more help for newcomers!) -- (I think there is a more recent version of the Lexicon - you can use the FR search engine to find it).
Other fun oldie threads:
Vanity post - can anyone explain the moose and cheese thing?
All Your Base Are Belong To Us
And here's a good one on the history of FRee Republic:
BUMP for more exposure of this forgotten discovery made by our troops.
Chants by democrats are seldom new.
OOOPS! Didn't mean to miss-spell your screen name! :-)

Chocolate Hazelnut Pumpkin PieFrom mintymommybee 8 years ago
- your favorite pumpkin pie crust shopping list
- your favorite pumpkin pie filling shopping list
- chocolate hazelnut spread (nutella is the most popular, but I like Rapunzel's the best.) shopping list
- also, black raspberry or apricot fruit preserves or orange marmelade or even just sliced bananas if you like shopping list
How to make it
- So,, in your prepared pie crust, before you add the pumpkin pie filling
- ... spread on a thick layer of chocolate hazelnut spread
- top that with a thin layer of fruit preserved or sliced bananas.
- Now you do your pumpkin pie filling on top and bake it all as you usually do.
- I like to spread more Chocolate Hazelnut on top and use a slightly sweetened topping made of sour cream and cream cheese beat together instead of usual whipping cream.
- This way, I can relax and enjoy my mother's good old plain pumpkin pie too :)

"Aroma after the pour is lean and paraffin-like; swirling and additional time in the glass stimulate more expressive aromas of black pepper, sea salt and jalapeño pepper. Palate entry is tight, acidic and keenly peppery; by the midpalate stage, the flavor profile's sinewy character goes totally dry and spicy. Ends up very trim."

The Best Western Ever!
No, not the hotel--I mean the genre. To me, westerns have always been like spinach--ill-tasting and probably not even that good for you. But in my neurotic quest to see every movie ever made at least twice, I've sat through them all and I have to say some stand higher above the range than others.
The finest ones for me are:
Stagecoach. A rollicking, riveting road movie with danger and heart. I'm talking about the original version, not the remake with Ann-Margret and Red Buttons.
Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood's morally ambiguous look into the darker side of the western myths, it made westerns Oscar worthy again and brought new wisdom to the purple sage.
Upcoming Events
The Searchers. The young Natalie Wood was well worth looking for in this brooding tale of rabid obsession.
And Dances With Wolves. Don't laugh, I actually think it's a very strong piece of work. And no, I didn't like Waterworld.
Anyway, your best western?

When handling binary data transmitted or shared across platforms, you need be concerned with how each platform stores numerical values. A platform stores values either in big-endian or little-endian format. On big-endian machines, such as PowerPC machines, values are stored with the most-significant bytes first in memory; on little-endian machines, such as Pentium machines, values are stored with the least-significant bytes first. A multibyte value transmitted to a platform with a different format will be misinterpreted if it is not converted properly by one of the computers.
You identify the native format of the current platform using the
CFByteOrderGetCurrent() function. Use functions such as
CFSwapInt32BigToHost(_:) and
CFConvertFloat32HostToSwapped(_:) to convert values between different byte order formats.

FN Asset Management Awards 2012: The judges
There were 103 people acting as judges for the Asset Management Awards this year, each asked personally by Financial News.
Acting independently of each other and Financial News, they gave marks out of five to each of the nominees they knew. They were asked to leave blank any categories where they or a connected person was a nominee. This was checked and, where necessary, corrected by a member of Financial News' events team, the only person to see who gave what score to whom in this otherwise entirely confidential process.
Only those invited by Financial News are eligible to send in marks, as this is not a popularity contest. This year, one of the nominees sent the voting form to its clients, and some of them tried to vote; these scores were detected and excluded.
The marks were automatically collated and, for each nominee, an average was calculated as the sum of the scores divided by the number of judges that gave that nominee a score.
The judges were:
