The Boise Parks Department issued the permit in May and the city will collect 12 percent of alcohol sales over $2,000. Alcohol will only be sold from noon-10 p.m.
For years people have been able to consume their own alcohol in certain parts of the park.
The easy access at the 4th of July event has made some, like Heather Johnson of Meridian, hesitant to go.
"Because coming from a non-drinking family it's kind of intimidating to me just that experience," said Johnson.
Other residents we talked with like the idea of being able to buy beer during the event and think people can be responsible enough.
"Yeah I would probably buy it here if I knew it was being served because dragging around a cooler isn't always fun you know," said Tanner Pfeil of Boise.
No alcohol will be allowed within 250 feet of the Boise River. There are signs every few feet reminding people of where you can't drink.
Boise Police said they will be out in force making sure people are following the law, and not getting out of control.

Review Summary
- Beautiful creek-side setting
- Large, homey units with kitchens and fireplaces
- Many units have huge big tubs and separate showers
- Indoor/outdoor pool
- Indoor Jacuzzi and three outdoor Jacuzzis
- On-site ski and snowboard rentals
- Large, two-story fitness center and racquet ball court
- Free self-parking and free Wi-Fi
- In West Vail, away from the Villages and ski lifts
- Right along the interstate
Bottom Line
In a beautiful secluded setting west of Vail proper, the Marriott StreamSide offers upper-middle-range condo rentals in three different sections -- Evergreen, Birch, and Douglas -- with full kitchens, fireplaces, and homey mountain decor. The indoor/outdoor pool is uncommon in Vail, where most pools are outdoors, and the hotel prides itself on its free extras (free Wi-Fi, free parking, and no resort fee). But it's right next to the interstate, and you'll have to take the hotel shuttle to the slopes.

Timeshare condo units in an attractive creek-side setting -- if you can overlook the neighboring interstate
The Marriott Streamside is nestled in the foothills of the Rockies to the west of Vail, on acres of land. Gore Creek runs through the property and the hills form a lovely backdrop, making it easy to forget that this series of condos is right next to the interstate.
The timeshare units are managed by the Marriott StreamSide, and are well-maintained, with wood and leather accents throughout.
Located in West Vail, at the far end of town
The Marriott StreamSide is located in West Vail, on the south side of (and right next to) I-70. The location is not within walking distance to any of the ski areas, and the closest lift, Eagle Bahn, is two miles away. It is, however, in a beautiful natural setting, with Gore Creek running through the property, and just across I-70 from good food and a Safeway.
- 2-hour-15 minute drive from the closest airport, Denver International Airport
- 3-minute drive to Safeway
- 5-minute drive to the Colorado Ski Museum
- 6-minute drive to Lionshead Village and Eagle Bahn Gondola, the closest lift
- 7-minute drive to Vail Village
- 8-minute drive to the Ford Amphitheater
- 9-minute drive to Vail Golf Course
- 1-hour drive to the closest hot springs, Glenwood Springs
Nearby Hotels
Large condo-style units with kitchens and washer/dryers
The units at Streamside are on the older side, but they've been kept up with continual upgrades. The understated mountain decor feels cozy -- almost like being at home -- with leather and wood accents. All units full kitchens that feature ovens, dishwashers, fridges, microwaves, and tableware.
Bathrooms have granite countertops, and in the Evergreen and Douglas sections, walk-in showers and separate soaking tubs (the tub we saw had Jacuzzi jets and could easily fit two people). The closets are also spacious, allowing for storage of skis or summer outdoor gear.
- Kitchens with full ovens, microwaves, fridges, dishwashers, and tableware
- Balconies off most rooms
- Flat-screen TVs and DVD players in most units (some still have tube TVs)
- Fireplaces (gas in Evergreen and Birch, and wood-burning in Douglas)
- Spacious closets
- Wrought iron bed headboards
- Free Wi-Fi
- Washer/dryers in Evergreen units
- Bathrooms in the Birch units have shower/tub combos. Bathrooms in the Evergreen and Douglas units have walk-in showers and separate soaking tubs; the tub we saw in an Evergreen unit had jets.

She will be greatly missed by all.
She is survived by her two sons, Peter J. Paul and wife Anita of Eliot, Maine, and Michael R. Paul of Portsmouth, N.H.; sister Yolanda Lavalley and husband Francis of Rutland, Vt; two granddaughters, Ashley and Morgan Paul of Eliot, Maine.

Researchers in Singapore say they have developed a method for transforming carbon dioxide into methanol, a biofuel. The scientists from the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology said they used an organocatalyst called N-heterocyclic carbene to activate the carbon dioxide, added hydrosilane and used hydrolysis to complete the nontoxic process. "We are innovating effective methods of generating clean energy using green chemistry and nanotechnology," said professor Jackie Y. Ying, executive director of the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.

Re: The official Raptors basketball 2012-13 game thread
I was a little upset at the trouble he was having posting up against the small dudes they were putting on him like Felton. But yeah, he did impact the game in other was as was said, D and rebounding. I agree that his D was underrated I think coming out of Memphis. Either that or he stepped it up when he came to Toronto. Whatever the case, unexpected bonus. And just his mere presence on offense whether he's scoring or not the team looks so different/better with him out there. Opposing teams still look at us as a "must win" opponent but I think we still have that element of surprise working for us.
edit: I can't lie though, when Lowry lost his cool and visibily to the ref the call the bullshit, I was like damn we're f*cked. But with the way JL has been shooting lights out, I guess it makes sense to play him those 4th quarter mins for the time being. As for AA, love the dude. He took a huge minutes cut and lost his starting job when Gay joined the team. But yet he stays ready to play always no matter what role he's given and even when he's not playing he's one of the biggest cheerleaders off the bench.

(1 avis de voyageurs)
Annoncé depuis le 14 janv. 2016
Langues parlées anglais, français, espagnol
Hilltop villa situated between the medieval town of Pals and Pals beach with breathtaking views west across rolling hills and the Pyrenees mountains. The accommodation consists of two units, a three bedroom villa with very large balcony, private pool, hot tub and log fire and a two bedroom annexe underneath with a large terrace. Wi-fi is available in the villa.
The large open plan lounge seats up to 8 people comfortably and has a 42' flat screen TV with UK freeview and local channels in Spanish/Catalan. A large modern wood burning fire is located in the lounge providing a very cozy atmosphere during cooler months.
The kitchen is very well equipped and modern, with all necessary equipment. An adjacent dining area provides dining for 6 to 8 people and overlooks the dip pool.
Outside, the villa is surrounded by a large overhanging balcony to the front and faces west to the hills beyond with stunning sunsets. There is a large extendable dining table and chairs for 12 people for alfresco sunset dining.
To the side of the villa, is located the dip pool (4metres x 3metres) which is surrounded by a large sun terrace with 4 modern sun loungers and a table and chairs. At the north end of the balcony and directly outside the master bedroom patio doors, is located a round hot tub which seats 3-4 people. This is best enjoyed in the cooler evenings underneath the stars of the night sky with a gin and tonic!
A short staircase leads from the side terrace to an annex apartment below, with accommodation for a further 4-5 people in two further bedrooms. A separate bathroom/WC is provided. There are large sliding doors leading from the lounge onto a good sized balcony/ terrace with dining table and chairs.
The villa has a large wood burning fire and outside hot tub and pool, ideal for winter breaks in the sun. The area is completely surrounded by woodland with many trails and paths leading to local towns and villages and also to a variety of beaches. It is an ideal location for gentle walking through the forest and a two hour drive would take you to the heart of the Pyrenees for more adventurous climbing.
There are three golf courses nearby, Golf Platja de Pals is an exceptional 18 hole gem, running parallel to the beach. The main beach is only 5 minutes drive away or a simple 45 minute walk through the woods, with many other beaches along the headlands.
The marina town of LEstartit with sailing and scuba diving facilities is approx 30 minutes drive away.
It is also a great central location for art and history lovers with Barcelona only two hours away, Girona a 45 minute drive and Salvador Dalis home town of Figueres approx 45 minutes drive away.
Although it is an ideal location for walking, it is advisable to have a hire car for your duration to get to and from the airport and for sight seeing, shopping, etc.

|Unit Profile (as of 3058)
|Collector of Heads
|Parent Formation
|Dieron Regulars
The Twenty-fourth Dieron Regulars were a heavy 'Mech regiment that frequently saw combat along the Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth borders.[1]
- 1 History
- 2 Officers
- 3 Tactics
- 4 Composition History
- 5 References
- 6 Bibliography
Third Succession War[edit]
The Twenty-fourth was one of the units to take part in the Third Battle of Mallory's World in 3013 supporting the elite Second Sword of Light regiment.[2] Their first combat on the world occurred outside a reservoir where they fought the 17th Avalon Hussars. The Hussars executed a surprise combat drop, but the sheer number of armor and infantry units attached to the 24th quickly overwhelmed the Hussars.[3] A few months later the 24th tried to sack a city defended by the weakened 4th Davion Guards, 17th Avalon Hussars, and the Kell Hounds. Though they were able to occupy their old defensive positions, the Regulars didn't realize that these positions had been booby-trapped by the Federated forces. When they tried to withdraw from these trapped fortifications, the AFFS units slammed into them and inflicted serious losses. The 24th was able to break through the defenders however, and left the world in December 3013, after the death of First Prince Ian Davion.[4]
In 3016 the 24th returned to Mallory's World. Their first assault at that time centered on their old foes the 17th Avalon Hussars. Landing around the Hussars base in Colterville, the Regulars were inflicting serious losses on the Federated RCT when the order to evacuate the planet arrived. Though a draw, the 24th inflicted enough damage on Colterville that the planetary capital had to move to Mallory City.[5]
4th Succession War[edit]
Ronin Wars[edit]
War of 3039[edit]
Clan Invasion[edit]
In 3050 the Twenty-fourth Dieron Regulars were stationed on Algedi.[6]
Operation Bulldog[edit]
Dominion War[edit]
Federated Suns Incursion[edit]
- unknown to December 3013, the commander was Tai-sho Nobutake Kondo.[1]
- 3014 on, the unit was commanded by Tai-sho Simlin Toshirov.[1]
- 3050, the unit was commanded by Tai-sa Frederick Lugo.[6]
Unlike most of the DCMS regiments the 24th fights intelligently and with caution, using the terrain to their advantage. They also have extensive experience with combined arms tactics.[1]
Composition History[edit]
Third Succession War[edit]
During the Mallory's World campaigns, the 24th's conventional units outnumbered their 'Mechs.[1]

Sip fresh fruit & veggie juice at Jugo Fresh on Miami Beach
Sip fresh fruit & veggie juice at Jugo Fresh on Miami Beach
Jugo Fresh is a grown up juice bar in a serene space with soft, sanded reclaimed wood panels and white marble counters. It feels more like a salon than a health food store where customers come for cold pressed juices, sugar-free smoothies and energy boosting shots of extracts and spices. The motto of the place is "open for life" as in yours.
The man behind the concept is Matthew Sherman, a 35-year-old former basketball coach from Baltimore who earned a Masters from Barry University in sport and exercise psychology and worked as a holistic life coach. Growing up the youngest of four boys he ate everything especially triple cheese pizza and at one point weighed 360 pounds but has put that behind him after he adopted healthy eating habits.
Fruits and vegetables are pressed in a machine that breaks up the fibers with an angled rotating blade and then applies two tons of pressure to squeeze the resulting pulp into a micro fiber bag. The fiber-free nutrient-dense juice slowly drips out and has a shelf life of up to three days but most juices here are sold within 24 hours or less. Juices can be as simple as apple pie with apple juice, lemon, ginger and cinnamon or as complex as ya fui green with cucumber, romaine, spinach, dandelion greens, sunflower sprouts, parsley and sea salt.
Blended beverages include la comida with oatmeal, cashew milk, goji berries, cacao nibs, hemp and coconut, carrot with coconut water and cashew milk and the Sherman with coconut pureed with banana, kale, spirulina and agave. The mangostina is a blend of mango, coconut, almond milk, cinnamon and carob. One can add bee pollen, flax meal, maca powder or ground chlorella to any drink. The best selling shot is the saca lo (get rid of it) best kicked back when you feel a cold coming on with cayenne, citrus, ginger, lemon and turmeric. Vegan tastings include kale ceviche, beet tartare, quinoa bowls with miso dressing and figs with cacao crisps and lemon cashew cream.

What kind of continuity is there between different games in the series?
There are a couple of breaks in the Wizardry continuity, IIRC. 1-3 are related; 4 is essentially Wiz 1 reversed, so that you're playing the villain fighting his way outward, instead of the heroes fighting inward. 5 is a continuation from 3, but I believe that technology advances made it so that character transfers from 3 to 5 weren't possible.
6-8 are a trilogy of sorts - you can transfer characters from 6 to 7, and 7 to 8, to maintain some hand-wavy continuity, and there's some plot continuity between them as well. Nemesis is a separate game, different from the rest. I've plunked many hours into these games, and don't regret it one bit.

Watch: Dwayne Johnson talks 'Fast Six' and the joys of playing Hobbs
With both Michelle Rodriguez and "Haywire" ass-kicker Gina Carano signing on to the project over the past couple of weeks, Justin Lin's "Fast Six" is heating up in advance of its summer production start - and one person who clearly can't wait to jump back into the fray is star Dwayne Johnson, who will be reprising his role as DSS agent Luke Hobbs in the follow-up.
"From a character standpoint, I love that character, Hobbs," Johnson told me during our recent sit-down at the "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" junket. "That guy's a bad-ass, walking, talking beast of a guy who's got a lot of unfinished business."
You can check out the rest of what Johnson had to say about the sequel in the video above!
"Fast Six" (official title TBD) is slated for release on May 24, 2013.

Compass Points
Compass Points
How I Lived
Vintage, Paperback, 9780375702402, 304pp.
Publication Date: March 26, 2002
In a luminous memoir of a life richly lived, one of America's finest writers explores the themes that have shaped his life and work: the glories of the natural world, the lure of working for a circus and fighting forest fires, the afflictions of temporary blindness and blocked speech, and the enduring influence of literary friendships, including John Berryman's, Edward Abbey's, and his mentor, Archibald MacLeish.
From his childhood in rural Connecticut to some of the earth's last remaining wildernesses, Hoagland has traveled the world wielding his unusual gift for observation. In Compass Points he delivers an honest and lively accounting of his voyages through two marriages; the New York parties he attended as a precocious young writer; Vermont hippiedom and academia; his many vivid sojourns into Europe, Alaska, British Columbia, the Sudan; and, perhaps most unforgettably, his stint in the "Animal Department" of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus fifty years ago. Leavened with Hoagland's trademark humor and insight, Compass Points is an entertaining and moving account of the days and nights of one of our most eminent literary voices.
"Ablaze with wonder in nature but also at the glorious mess of the human condition."–The Washington Post Book World
"The precision with which Hoagland sees and the appetite with which he explores are staggering."–Philip Roth
"A poignant and substantive summing up of the life and work of one of the finest writers this nation has produced."–The Oregonian
"Compass Points is sensual, taut, pungent, and full of the hot licks of a vigorous, involved life." -- Annie Proulx

Jul 23, 07 at 11:24am ^re: 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
No, I am going to tell you that there are several people who believed that WTC7 was going to collapse. In the chaos of the day, how hard is it for the people saying WTC7 will collapse to be mistaken for WTC7 actually collapsing?
Why is the government deliberately engineering the death of thousands of American citizens more likely than a reporting error?
Presuming you are referring to the videos in that clip and 911 Mysteries, I also believe you to be incorrect on these videos not being shown. Several of those videos look familiar, so they or videos very close to them were shown after the fact. Going to work after the attack, I was stuck in traffic for hours. I finally made it on post, parked my car, and walked home. On Sep 11th, I only had radio reports. Any video I have seen was shown after that date.
On their reporting the conspiracy theories later, while they don't think much of the current administration, they love loud controversy and scandal, so the louder and more controversial theories got the airtime.
On your own being put down by Fox, I do recall one where Bill O'Reilly didn't bother to let one speak. I asked why he even bothered to call the man up if he wasn't going to... either let him make a point or find a different Talking Points subject.
If they saw good evidence, I suspect they would just as happily go chew on the current administration with just as much joy as they went after the "Fake Plane" crowd, if not more so. People who think the WTC was sold for $15 million are probably not going to attract their attention on that one though.
Larry Silverstein
As I mentioned to you elsewhere, Silverstein Properties, business investors, and port authority itself all show the WTC leased for billions. Why do you persist in believing that 2 of the largest buildings in the entire world in one of the most expensive housing areas of the world sold for $15 million? That right there should be a red flag that you need to check your facts.
Please give a link to a reliable source on the lease selling for $15 million, or evidence why the value of billions is incorrect.
For that matter, 7.1 billion is the maximum value Silverstein Properties could have gained, not the amount they did gain.
Please give a reliable source on the $7 billion, and if you believe it went to Mr Silverstein personally instead of Silverstein Properties, please post proof of that as well.
On "Pull it", yes, he probably shouldn't have used a demolition term if there were no explosives. How is he supposed to know the term is inappropriate? If their were explosives, why on earth would he tell the fire department to go use them?
(And as a side note, minimal damage rarely causes smoke to come out of the building on several floors, and there were several people who thought WTC7 would collapse. It was after receiving this information that Mr Silverstein decided to let the building go.)
It's easy to get steel beams to fit in a truck. Just get a good welding torch and presto, it comes apart.
Yes, after getting evidence, they cleaned up. I have some questions though...
If they cleaned it up quickly, what was burning for 3 months?
If they cleaned it up quickly, what were they cleaning months later?
When did they reconsitute these after destroying all the evidence?
If it was a controlled demolition, what caused the burning?
With the way our branches of government work, Bush & Cheney would not be expected to testify under oath. Unless you want to blame the founding fathers, don't include this in a discussion of "guilty demeanor".
Notes on the private investigation please... and if it is private, why were there any handpicked people or any funding?

quote MarinadeIt's always the same two or three links with you people.
Air doesn't blow steel out of windows for miles.
And even if that ridiculous theory did have any conclusion it still wouldn't have any merit because there were explosions BEFORE the building began to collapse.
There are testimonies of explosions in the basement distinctively BEFORE the initial plane strike. There was damage IN THE LOBBY evident of an explosion.
Tons of witnesses say they heard explosions from different floors.
But all of these testimonies are not seen again or addressed in the 9/11 commission report which again is another sign of GUILTY DEMEANOR.
quote Another_MutantI'll have to try to find the pictures but there is a picture of all the WTC buildings standing in the complex and all the other WTC buildings have CLEARLY MORE DAMAGE than WTC 7.
The fact that they randomly said out of all the buildings that were going to fall it was that one is mighty suspicious if you see the comparable damage.
As far as people who continue to take the angle that no way our government would do something like that?
What makes you so sure?
Has our government?
A)Shown complete and utter disregard for human life?
B)Deceived the American public for political/monetary gain?
If the answer to both of those questions is yes, then it really should not come to you as a surprise
3500 people is called Collateral Damage.
And fires don't burn for 3 months like they did under normal circumstances. Hence the thermite theory. That theory has not been proved, but it would explain how those fires in the basement could possibly burn for that long from a building that had oxygen starved fires.

Jul 23, 07 at 10:20pm ^re: 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
Sorry... in a bit of a rush, so not much time for links, however...
Explosives don't blow steel beams out windows for miles either, especially not ones meant to demolish buildings. Had there been any explosion big enough to blow steel for miles (other than the original crash of course), there would be no doubt about the explosion - it would stand out, like the original crash only outward instead of inward. Please post a link on this, since at the moment I can't see this supporting either your theory or the official theory.
The 9/11 Commission report may not have addressed explosions - will have to check - but the accident analysis believes the damage of the initial basement and lobby explosions consistent with a fuel air explosion in the elevator shaft.
Yes, "tons of" people heard explosions, but lack good other references for large noise. Collapsing structural supports, exploding transformers, and the impact of a plane on the other building can be pretty loud.
While looking for pictures of which are more damaged, please also see how many have a larger fire than WTC7.
Again with the suspicious - if the firefighters on the scene thought it was coming down but this was really because Silverstein told them to blow up the building... your conspiracy has grown that much larger.
Thermite? Be serious. Thermite burns in seconds, not in months. Also, the stuff also doesn't explode, so if you are thinking thermite fits the bill for the explosions, think again.
While I am not absolutely certain, I am reasonably certain. Given good evidence otherwise I could change my mind, but until then I see no reason not to list them as innocent until proven guilty.
There is a difference between the actions before and the deliberate attack of American civilians on American soil.
And killing 3500 of your own civilians is called mass murder, even by most politicians.
If you watch Thermite melting a safe or thermite melting a PC, notice that it doesn't explode. People that close to a grenade or other high explosive device of similar size would have been seriously injured, but for thermite they just have to worry about the heat. Notice that the computer case is heavily damaged, but not blown apart... and computers are made of far thinner steel than the WTC.
Thus in your thermite theory, you still have not accounted for the noises of the explosions and the blasted out windows - thermite doesn't do that. You would still have to have explosives in addition to thermite. Thermite is also no good for horizontal cuts - only for vertical cuts, another problem if your theory doesn't also have explosives. Now while I am no expert at demolishing buildings, if you ask those who are, I suspect that you will find that using thermite and explosives would be considered suicidal.
The only good news is that since thermite is more or less rusted aluminum and iron, in an accident involving a hollow aluminum object striking an old steel object, amateur and hobbyist chemists would probably be unable to tell that it had been used. I would not rely on that fooling accident investigation teams though.

Where do the press get their information from??? I've got a feeling they were just given a piece of information too early... i.e. someone knew WTC7 was going to collapse...
This isn't the best footage or evaluation of footage on the plane impact, but gives you the general idea...
All the events of 9/11 leave me with no doubt that the government carried out the attacks... (sorry bout the links...)

Jul 24, 07 at 11:38am ^re: 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
Did you mean footage1 and footage2?
Several people believed the WTC7 was going to collapse. How hard is it for one of those reports to have been mistaken for WTC actually having collapsed?
Plane pods
A missile or something else on a pod? Be serious. Please explain how they they covered up these pods so that none of the ground crew or passengers awaiting other flights saw them?
ATTC - Hmm... looking at a 21 Sep damage review, I still don't see anything that might be miles away. The map doesn't have a scale next to it, but buildings listed as "major damage" are all within 2 building widths of the WTC towers, or right next to WTC7 (which itself is within 2 building widths). Looks like "moderate damage" out to about 4 building widths, however many undamaged buildings also exist within that range. Did you have a link on that "hurled steel for miles"?
They also show some damage to the building that WTC7 hit on the way down. Hmm... for a controlled demolition, wasn't it supposed to fall into it's own footprint?
They show some pictures of support beams with sheared bolts. Might be another reason they might have fit neatly on trucks.

Whether people thought it was going to fall or not, people think stupid crap all the time.
The fact is, a skyscrappe, that's 47 floors, is impossible to fall in 4.5 seconds. Sorry, there can't be any resistance at all for that to happen. Unless these terrorists have gravity and physics controlling powers.
Either you choose:
1. 9/11 was an inside job.
2. Terrorists have supernatural powers.

wait, so that means no one did it, because it's impossible, so it's such a good inside job, that the government them selves defied physics. Super Government, I mean for people who insult the administrations intelligence they sure do pull of some pretty high class things.
So that now brings up another theory, the government has super physics controlling powers, and we just don't know about it. How do explain going to the moon and all that stuff, Insted of 9/11 we as Americans should look into this stuff.

Sten, you say that it cannot fall within 4.5 seconds. Well, it apparently did somehow. So, show me where a professional says that a building that high cann fall in 4.5 seconds. As Kyosuki said, you are saying the government could make it happen, but terrorists cannot, why not hmmm? How come one group can, yet the other cannot?

Jul 25, 07 at 6:36am ^re: 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
Sten - True. Some people think the WTC sold for $15 million.
However this was the firefighters and other professionals on the scene at the time. Right or wrong, their judgment would have been given to the reporters.
or 3) self proclaimed experts mis-estimated the fall time. These are after all the same ones estimating the WTC fall time, where several videos plainly show debris falling at a significantly faster rate than the building.
I will admit that it looks far closer to a controlled demolition than the WTC towers. I originally thought that the WTC towers looked like a controlled demolition, until I saw some internet videos comparing the two. Yes, ironically, their attempt to show me that the WTC towers looked like a controlled event showed me that they didn't.
WTC7 looks much closer to a controlled demolition. Not quite the same, but within reason. However... when did they install the explosives, and how did they know they would be needed? If they really were related to WTC towers, who would risk the towers setting off the charges? Speaking of which... Why didn't the fire & impact set off any of the charges?
While not a final word on the investigation, here is a interim report on the WTC7 collapse.

Jul 25, 07 at 9:41am ^re: 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
The WTC was sold weeks prior to the attacks and the new owner took out HUGE insurance policies covering TERRORIST ATTACKS WITH PLANES!!!
The was massive construction and cable work inside the Twin Towers in the days leading up to the events... this is when the explosives were planted...
The towers did not collapse in 4.5 secs, it was more like 10 secs which is STILL TERMINAL VELOCITY... The only way a building could collapse like this is if the collapse was controlled...
|posts in thread
Jul 25, 07 at 10:03am ^re: 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
Yes, it was sold weeks before the attack.
While you might think the insurance policy was huge, it was not enough to cover the costs of rebuilding from total destruction, it was only meant to cover partial damage. (Which is why he had to sue the insurance companies to have it counted as 2 attacks. Without that, he didn't have enough policy to cover the damages. )
It also did not specify terrorist attacks with planes. It covered terrorist attacks, a smart investment, since the WTC had been attacked by terrorists before.
For your construction and cable work, again you fail to understand the size of the building. What would be massive in your house was actually pretty small within the WTC. Ask any demolition team how much work would have been required to bring down those buildings in a controlled demolition. There wasn't enough time in those installs.
Add into that the fact that no one stumbled across the demolition charges during routine maintenance.
Yes, Sten's 4.5 seconds was for WTC7, a building less than half the height of the towers. The usual time I hear for the towers is 10 seconds. The problem with that is that several videos show debris falling significantly faster than the towers. That tells me that their time/speed calculations are a bit off. Now on WTC7 I don't recall any good measures of freefall speed outside the building, but if they were off on the WTC towers why should I expect them to get it right on WTC7.
Fixed insurance coverage notes.

I have no idea why you afford so much credibility to the 9/11 Commission report. Most of the research / reporting was done by a staff of around 75 people, over half of which were formers members of governmental departments. These researchers were led by Philip Zelikow, who of course has bias after multiple appointments within the Bush administration including the drafting of the National Security Strategy in 2002, which referred to 9/11 as justification for preventive war! It is simply absurd to suggest this setup is suitable for an accurate and unbiased account of 9/11.

Okay people, i got what you all were waiting for; i mean questions with answers, conspiracies and truths, all here
It's 3 hours video, so sit down, take your time if you really want some real stuff. Was 9/11 an inside job? Honestly, i don't care.

Jul 26, 07 at 10:10pm ^re: 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
Superfast Oz - That is the NIST report, not the 9/11 Commission report. A different group of overworked investigators. I give credence to their report because it appears that they have done their homework and come up with at least a reasonably close idea of what happened. Yes, I do find a few oddities where I am not entirely satisfied with their answers, but for the most part it seems to fit.
When I look at the conspiracy sites, I find large amounts of inaccuracies, deceptive out of context quotes, and poor research.
So it looks like NIST & the 9/11 commission, overworked, managed to out-do the assorted conspiracy groups.
If you believe that there is some conspiracy site out there that actually figured out what happened, show it to me. Right now I have...
... People who think the WTC sold for 15 million even though it cost nearly a billion to make.
... People who think it's inappropriate to insure against known dangers.
... People who think the WTC7 fell in 4.5 seconds - and might be right, but they are obviously wrong on the WTC towers falling speed, so an unreliable judge of fall start/stop times.
... People who think that steel buildings have never collapsed in a fire, and post a link of a concrete + steel building where the steel part collapsed and it was the concrete part that stayed standing.
... People who claim that the alert aircraft were reduced to 14, but have never studied what an alert aircraft is, or that we only had 14 in 1999.
... People who think that the WTC could withstand a hurricane, so it can withstand a similar amount of force directed against a single point in the building.
... People who complain about the quick cleanup, even though the cleanup took months.
... People who quote specific parts of an interview, making it look like the person meant something entirely different. For example, one person was quoted as saying the Pentagon attack was like a missile. They stripped off the part where he identified it as an American Airlines plane, leaving only the part where he compared that plane to a missile.
... People who talk about the steel support structure melting.
... People who show me pictures of pieces of the core (after collapse) and then tell me it vanished in the collapse.
... etc...
So find me a site without all that nonsense. Find me a site with solid research and little or no garbage. That will change my views.

But trips to English seaside resorts, like visits to vegetarian restaurants, tend to represent the triumph of hope over experience. My travelling companion Andy and I arrived to find the town in the grip of one of the year's worst storms, a real pier-ripper which meant that our journey from station to restaurant had to be conducted at a horizontal sprint.
Terre a Terre is very near the seafront, at the foot of one of the shopping streets which skirt The Lanes, and nothing about its sleek plate-glass frontage indicates that within, here be vegans. The interior is slightly more wholegrain, albeit in the modern style, with walls painted deep shades of orange and tobacco, and a forest-load of stripped pine: the floors, chairs, tables and even children's high- chairs are made of the stuff. A mixed crowd of young families, women shoppers and student types makes for a relaxed atmosphere, and there's also a smoking section and a bar, indicating an allegiance to vegetarianism's hedonistic wing.
So far so good. Then we got to the menus. There are two, naffly tagged "Daytime Delights" and "Evening Excitement", and they offer few fixed points for the uninitiated. Instead, a giddying selection of eccentric, globally inspired dishes swims before the eyes. From Tarator Taleggio Crostini to Arepas Mojo, it's a list which reads rather like Chelsea's starting line-up (only without Leboeuf, naturally).
Ingredients seem to have been assembled without regard for how well they might harmonise - why would anyone think that a warm poached egg, for example, would improve a dish of chargrilled aubergine, minted haloumi, and roasted red pepper? And each description is so long, typically running to five lines and about 12 ingredients, that we found ourselves unable to concentrate long enough to read to the end. Maybe we've simply eaten too much junk food. Our waiter seemed equally at sea, and had to refer to a crib-sheet to account for some of the more recherche ingredients, such as moo moo balls (of which more later).
We started with a basket of freshly prepared, if rather greasy, bread crisps, made with lavash, an unleavened Lebanese bread, dusted with ground spices. For dipping came Zhuganoush, a grey paste which apparently featured smoked aubergine, though its compacted texture and bitterness indicated that it was more or less unleavened tahini. Better, just, was a starter of deep-fried tofu cubes, marinated in hoi sin sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Geoff and Andy were so surprised to encounter tofu with any kind of flavour that they were prepared to overlook the woolly texture and Chinese-takeaway aftertaste.
Given the variability of our starters, we decided it would be best to order three main courses and share them. Our waiter warned us that the Smoked Sakuri Soba Salad was very smoky, which could well have been a coded way of tipping us off that it wasn't very nice. If so, he was right on both counts. Diving into a towering heap of buckwheat noodles, threaded with long ribbons of courgette and carrot, we chor- used "smoky!" and stopped eating. Toasted sesame oil had been applied with too heavy a hand, and the salad was surrounded by cubes of smoked tofu, cunningly prepared to taste like pork scratchings.
Next up came something called krackers, griddled flatbread wraps filled with moo moo balls, and surrounded by rubbly tabbouleh and various luminous pickles. The name promised something crispy, but these krackers were soggy, like a takeaway tortilla left out in the rain, an impression not helped by the fact that they were served in a paper bag. Moo moo balls turned out to be a near-relative of the falafel, deep-fried and made of rice flour, herbs and spices. I suspect they were an invention of the house; if so, the name is unfortunate, as these slimy green boluses could well have already passed through the digestive system of a ruminant. Geoff though, was still determined that we should enjoy our trip, and became unaccountably enthusiastic. "I love it - this is my kind of scoff," he raved. "But then, I love mush."
Our final dish, a tapas selection, was a cartwheel-sized assembly of just about everything on the menu, an insane mismatch which resembled a one-stop harvest festival. Like our other two main courses, it was a vegan option, and like them, it came dusted with chopped herbs, slick with olive oil, and daubed with violently orange sauce. "Bung it on, they're bound to like something", seemed to be the philosophy behind the selection, which included potato salad, noodles, ciabatta, tortilla, and much, much more, interspersed with all manner of mystery salads. It looked zingy and colourful, like the plastic models of meals you get in the windows of Japanese restaurants, but tasted disappointingly zing- free.
The puddings were better - a moist lemon and almond cake, and a vegan option of poached pear with soya milk ice-cream - but again, pointless elaboration had prevailed, with all manner of additional sprinklings. The name Terre a Terre implies earthy, honest wholefood, but this wasn't whole food, it was little-bitty food, space food, designed for Vulcans, not for vegans.
At around pounds 20 a head (without alcohol), our meal wasn't too expensive, and all those healthy proteins left us with plenty of energy to battle the lashing winds on our seaside promenade. But I'm mystified as to how Terre a Terre can so regularly be nominated as one of Britain's best vegetarian restaurants. Next time I go to Brighton, I'll go in summer, and I'll definitely go straight to the beach.
Terre a Terre, 71 East Street, Brighton (01273 729051), 12pm- 10.30pm Tues-Sun (6pm-10.30pm Mon). Disabled access. All cards

"Knitta, Please" Lives On And Goes International
It's been three years since we first wrote about Knitta, the Montrose artistes who were pioneering the art of guerrilla knitting.
Since then the phenomenon has spread worldwide, according to today's UK Telegraph.
"Knitters turn to graffiti artists with 'yarnbombing'" is the headline.
You'll have to imagine hearing this in a plummy BBC accent:
The phenomenon, called Yarnbombing, is thought to have originated in the US but knitters are now beginning to cover British streets in woollen 'tags'.
Quite often dozens of balls of coloured wool are used to make huge sleeves or cosies which are then stitched onto a fixed object, sometimes done under the cover of darkness.

The piece quotes Houstonian Magda Sayeg, who was one of the then-anonymous knittas we featured but who has gone on to be an out, proud and public (publicity-hungry? We eschew intra-knitta politics) proponent of the art form.
We do like this photo of one of her latest projects:
The Guardian reports that two Canadian knitters are about to publish a book called Yarnbombing: The Art of Knit Graffiti.

"If you do that, you're NOT The trouble brewing in my mind, "When did framework xenophobia become the norm?"
Somewhere, somehow, I think many of us lost the intent behind these frameworks. When did it become more important for your sprint planning meeting to last 4 hours, no more no less vs. "Is the business and development team communicating and collaborating?"
To the retrospective question, if a mature team has inspected and adapted their process and decided to conduct retrospectives more frequently during their sprint, vs. a single ceremony at the end, is this bad? Wouldn't it still meet the definition of Scrum?
One could argue yes, but why are we arguing at all? We should be learning from that team to see if it is something we can do on our own teams (OK, 'borrow' from their practices).
I am not going to attack Scrum. It works very well when a team understands the concepts behind the framework. What scares me is the increase in people that equate being agile to implementing Scrum. It feels as if many of us have lost sight of the purpose of these frameworks: deliver working software!
2014 might be the time to stem the tide of "Scrum scholars" and encourage more people to be "Manifesto scholars".
After all, the purpose of the popular (or not so popular) agile frameworks is to simply be vehicles bringing the Agile Manifesto and its principles to life.
I cringe when I hear that people are being judged or 'graded' for their performance review by how rigorously they follow the ceremonies of a particular framework. By and large, it is not simply good enough to hold the ceremony for the sake of the ceremony. The team needs to understand its intent and extract value. Otherwise it is just another meeting people come to dread.
Rather than grading facilitators or scrum masters on simply holding ceremonies, why not grade them on their understanding of WHY they hold it? Can they articulate the value it is supposed to bring, and the actual value their team gets from it? Do they understand how that ceremony gets them early and continuously deliver valuable software?
We are well into this new year, but maybe it is not too late to start focusing on the manifesto.
By adhering more to the foundational principles, vs. strict adherence to a framework with blind optimism, maybe we will produce less ceremony check marks and more working software.

Megan shows off 22-Inch waist on 'Jonah Hex' set
She told E! at January's Golden Globes: "I am pretty sure I am a doppelganger for Alan Alda. I'm a tranny. I'm a man. I'm so painfully insecure." When asked about her diet secrets, she said, "I do have a 22-inch waist, I will say that."
Meanwhile, Fox is reportedly being lined up to play the role of She-Hulk. The Transformers star is the favourite to portray the giant green female in the big screen adaptation of the popular comic book series about The Incredible Hulk's cousin.

- Eleven sex attacks a day in Austria (13 Mar 16)
- Police to patrol cancelled 'pick-up artist' event (05 Feb 16)
The 54-year-old driver is accused of assaulting a 29-year-old woman after picking her up from the U4 club in Meidling at 4.15am on January 30th.
It is thought that when she fell asleep in the back of the car, he secretly drove her to Langenzersdorf where he stopped the car and assaulted her.
The woman managed to escape and, with the help of the radio control centre and GPS, police were able to identify the driver by tracking the taxi's movements on the night of the attack.
They arrested the driver in his apartment in Vienna on March 1st. The man partially confessed to the crime, although he claims the woman consented to the sexual acts,
Believing this was not his first attack, the police then took the rare step of releasing a photo of the driver at the weekend in the hope that further victims would come forward. However, the police have not released the man's name.
Two other woman have since contacted the police and said they too were sexually attacked by him.
"Colleagues are now investigating whether they are really victims of this driver," police spokesman Patrick Maierhofer said.
Any other people who believe they could be a victim of the driver are asked to contact the Vienna police on 01/ 31310-33210.
