Patrons sometimes visit the Watertown Public Library to look up a local article or fondly-remembered sports event that was published years ago in a local Watertown newspaper. Although newspaper articles are not indexed, patrons can load a reel of microfilm onto the microfilm reader and scan it for printing or for saving to a flash drive or for sending to their email.
A good place to begin researching historic Watertown from the Watertown Public Library homepage (www.watertownlib.org) is to click on the Research Tab and select Historic Watertown to see a list of various subject headings. Then click on the FAQ link (Frequently Asked Questions on Local History) for information on:
- Books and sources on Watertown History;
If researching a Watertown ancestor, the second question yields a list of Watertown records and directories;
Other parts of the historical collection include but are not limited to:
- Digital Sanborn Maps Insurance maps showing location of homes and businesses, 1867-1970;
- List of Town directories by year up to 1939;
- Lists of the graduates in the Watertown High School yearbooks for various years;
Clicking on other links will bring up contact information for the Historical Society of Watertown at the Edmund Fowle House on Marshall Street, and the Historical Commission which operates out of Town Hall.
You may wish to visit the local history room on the second floor of the library and speak with the local history librarian during daytime hours. You may also contact the local history librarian by email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Watertown, Massachusetts, is a great place for history!
Street Finder? Can we ask the Watertown Historical Librarian ...
What was the name of Ralph Piteri Terrace before WWII?? I have ancestors who lived in that area in the 1910's and I can not find an older map online ...
Many thanks,
Street Histories
I am so glad you inquired about a street in Watertown.You would be surprised how many people are looking for information concerning our streets, roads and by-ways. A project, for which we need volunteer help, is the "Histories of Streets in Watertown." Many hands make light work. Belmont has a splendid published volume on their streets.
Now for your query: the road was French Terrace. There was an estate owned by Maria M. French with two houses on the road in 1899. The road continued its name to 1951 and maybe after. By 1951, there were 4 more houses, an auto repair shop, a general contractor's office and yard and a rather large repair shop. The street runs from Mt. Auburn St. to the railroad.

Scrap Yard Arrest
While off-duty, a State Police Investigator said he saw a man "acting suspiciously" near a scrap yard near Route 40 and Robert Road in the town of Schaghticoke. So he called it in and a Trooper from the Brunswick barracks arrived to make the arrest.
James Lefebvre, 34, of Stillwater, is charged with two counts of Criminal Trespass (3rd Degree), Petit Larceny and Criminal Possession of Stolen Property (5th Degree).
Despite a sign of "No Trespassing," police say Lefebvre was stealing scrap metal plus they found a car stereo which had been reported stolen the day before from a vehicle parked at Kneers Towing in Brunswick.
Lefebvre was arraigned before the Town of Schagticoke justice and sent to the Rensselaer County Jail with bail set at $500 cash.

Sexual dysfunction, although very common, is a topic which most people avoid or are embarrassed to talk about. Before talking about sexual problems, it is important to know about the sexual response cycle. The sexual response cycle is a four-phased series of physical and emotional changes that take place from sexual arousal to intercourse. The sequential four phases are: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Sexual dysfunctions, therefore, are sexual problems that occur during any of the phases of the sexual response cycle and that prevent attainment of sexual satisfaction from any sexually-stimulating activity, such as masturbation and intercourse. Sexual dysfunctions affect both adult men and women but are more common in women than in men. Most cases of sexual dysfunctions are treatable.
There are four basic sexual dysfunctions that are more common in women. These are:
- Restrained or low sexual desire: This is simply low libido or lack of sexual urges. It is usually caused by the physical and/or medical causes of sexual dysfunctions.
- Sexual arousal disorder: This occurs when a woman becomes frigid and unable to respond or get aroused to any sexual stimulations.
- Lack of frequent sexual climax: This is when a woman constantly fails to achieve orgasms, thereby leading to frustrations with the sexual act.
- Painful intercourse: Sometimes caused by vaginal dryness and some intercourse positions.
Types of Sexual Dysfunctions in Men
- Low libido or lack of sexual desires.
- Erectile dysfunctions – inability to achieve an erection or maintain one.
- Premature ejaculations or inability to ejaculate throughout the sexual act.
Causes of Sexual Dysfunctions
The causes of sexual dysfunctions may be grouped into two: the physical or medical causes, and the psychological causes. The medical and physical causes are:
- Side effects of medications
- Diabetes
- Heart diseases
- Kidney and liver diseases
- Alcoholism
- Drug abuse
- Hormonal imbalance
- Arthritis
- Menopause
- Pregnancy
The psychological causes are as a result of general unrest of the mind. Some of them are:
- Stress
- Over-thinking and anxiety
- Depression
- Relationship issues
- Guilt
Symptoms of Sexual Dysfunctions in both Men and Women
The symptoms of sexual dysfunctions are a function of the types of the disorders in both men and women, such as: low or absent sexual urges, inability to have or maintain arousal during sexual activities, inability to experience an orgasm, pains during sexual intercourse, problems with discharging semen, and difficulty getting or staying erect.
Diagnoses of Sexual Dysfunctions
There are two major diagnoses of sexual dysfunctions:
- Psychological evaluation
- Pelvic examination
The psychological evaluation is done by a trained therapist based on interview results about sexual history and current sexual issues, while the pelvic examination is usually done in cases where the dysfunction has an underlying medical cause such as thinning of genital tissues and decreased skin elasticity.
Treatments of Sexual Dysfunctions
- Open communication with sexual partner on the topic.
- Enhancing stimulation by trying new routines and positions, using erotic materials such as videos, books, devices, і т.д.. and self masturbation.
- Minimizing painful positions as pain can take away the pleasure in the activity.
- Avoiding alcohol, excessive intake of drugs, and smoking.
- Dealing properly with stress, mood swings, depression and anxiety.
- Encouraging non-coital behaviors such as oral sex, masturbation, і т.д..
- Seeking counseling from trained therapists on the subject.
- Regular exercising.
- Sufficient leisure and relaxation.
Some drugs such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis may also be used for the treatment of some sexual dysfunctions in men. They are readily available everywhere but they require doctoral prescriptions.

Varley and Azevedo lead Tornados to 3-0 victoryOctober 10, 2009
Brevard tops Warren Wilson 3-0
Brevard, N.C. - Sophomore, Bailey Varley scored twice for the Tornados, both times assisted by freshman Chantel Azevedo who also added a goal for the Tornados en route to a 3-0 victory over the Warren Wilson Owls Saturday afternoon.
The Tornados improve to 6-8 with the win, while Warren Wilson falls to 2-3-2 on the season.
Brevard broke the 0-0 dead lock with ten remaining in the first half when Azevedo handled the ball up the field before dropping a pass to Varley who crossed a shot into the left corner of the net from 15 yards out.
The Tornados dominated the first half out shooting Warren Wilson 13-3. Brevard's defense had held Warren Wilson to no shots on goal until the Owls finally knocked one towards Jordan Box with five minutes remaining in the half. Box saved two shots within the last five minutes to send to Tornados into the break with a 1-0 lead.
Azevedo scored the Tornados second goal at 62:03 when she lofted a shot over Williams' head and into the back of the net from 35 yards out. Minutes later Azevedo, who leads Brevard in assists, assisted on a goal when she connected with Varley for the second time in the game. Varley took a shot from the right corner that keeper Claire Williams got her hand on before it bounced into the net for Varley's eighth goal of the year.
Chelsea Watson set the Tornados up for multiple scoring opportunities in the second crossing the ball to teammates just outside the box, but Williams saved six Tornado shots in the second half alone and twelve on the day to keep the score at 3-0 despite being outshot by the Tornados 26-5.
Jordan Box recorded the win and the shut out for the Torandos to improve her record in the net to 4-0 on the season.
Brevard will return to action on Tuesday, October 13 when they travel to Central, S.C. for a 7 p.m. competition against Southern Wesleyan.

70 MPH Ohio speed limits in effect
(Columbus) - Get ready to go a little faster on some Ohio highways. New 70 mph speed limits take effect today on rural stretches of interstate highways around Ohio.
"We had about 317 new signs," said ODOT spokesperson Melissa Ayers.
Most of those signs were overlays on existing speed limit signs, but in some cases new signs were needed. Ayers also says they posted several new signs warning motorists to reduce their speeds as they leave the new speed zones.
"You'll have fair warning where those changes occur," she said.
The new state budget also allows ODOT to raise speed limits on portions of U.S. and state highways. Ayers says they are still evaluating where those changes might take place. They have 90 days to make those decisions.
"Are there traffic signals? Are there interchanges or are they intersections? So, we'll be looking at a lot of different criteria," Ayers said.
The speed changes don't just have to be increases to 70 mph. Ayers says some areas could see speed limits bump from 55 to 60, 55 to 65, or 65 to 70 mph.

So, you've decided that it's time to start your own business - that you no longer wish to work for "the man" as they say. You have your product or idea, you have your goals and objectives outlined in the form of a working business plan, you've formed your company legally with the state you plan to operate in, you've obtained your Federal Tax ID number and now you're all ready to roll. But wait, we have forgotten one all important step in the process. The most important step perhaps. How do you obtain the loan (startup capital) to get the business off the ground? This step is arguably the toughest task of all for any new startup business. Why? Let's explore.
It's first important to note that most lenders, including banks as a whole, view startup business loans similarly to unsecured personal loans - very risky. Tim Carroll, Vice President for Deluxe Corporation, a company that helps small businesses with marketing, estimates that generally 50 to 70 percent of new startup businesses fail within the first 18 months. Certainly an alarming rate, yet it sheds light on why lenders tend to shy away from making a loan of any size to a new business.
You may start by considering dipping into your own personal savings from what you previously earned in your former line of work. Other resources could be personal credit cards, a loan from a family member or friend, or perhaps a loan secured by your most valuable personal asset, your home. Truth is, in my experience as a business banker, the sources listed above may be your best initial line of attack when looking to secure capital for your new business.
Now, if by chance you are not having any luck with obtaining startup capital from any of the sources mentioned above, it then becomes time to look elsewhere. Start with your local bank, but you should know, as mentioned above, most banks are somewhat conservative in their lending decisions when it comes to startup businesses. If the bank does express interest in funding your startup request, it's often typical that they will ask you to pledge collateral acceptable to them to secure the loan.
You may also want to look into an SBA (Small Business Administration) loan. The qualifications for an SBA loan are specific, although their programs are varied. The SBA will typically facilitate the loan for you with a third party lender, such as an SBA preferred bank.
A third option to look into is an angel investor. Such investors are typically affluent individuals who provide capital for a business startup in exchange for partial ownership in your company. It should be noted that while an angel investor is helpful in obtaining the startup capital you require to get your business off the ground, the risk you need to consider is in giving up ownership in the company and oftentimes the say to do as you please when making future business decisions. Proper research and careful review of the angel investor you go into business with is strongly encouraged.
So there you have it, some resources, but not all, to consider when looking for working capital to start your new business. Keep this in mind, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook had to start somewhere and according to Forbes.com, as of March 2013, he's worth a cool $13.3 billion dollars at the ripe age of 29. Maybe you can ask him to fund your new startup? I suggest you start with a simple friend request.
How to Successfully Navigate the Networking World
The Life of the Business
I do, I do, I do...believe in my business
Tags: Baltimore Loans, Business Loans, Startup Business, Startup Capital
Business Tips & Banking | Loans
Throughout the year, I find myself sitting with business owners and sales folks, forming relationships, making introductions, giving and receiving qualified and unqualified referrals and sharing new ideas. All of these activities are typical of your run of the mill business networking groups that we find ourselves in around our local market areas. Having said that, let's address one activity I mentioned above; the giving and receiving of referrals. Assuming you sit in on a networking group, have you ever really thought about why a fellow member would refer you or your business to a friend? Or why you would refer your colleague to someone in your network? I have narrowed it down to two things:
1) How often do you "give" refferals to others?
2) What level of trust do your colleagues have in you, and you in them?
Let's first start by addressing the word "give" in the context it's used in business networking groups. Think about it - if each of us networked to "get" something, then more than likely, none of us would "get" anything. Therefore, it makes sense to approach your networking group and meetings with the idea of "giving" as many referrals as possible, increasing the likelihood that you will be "given" referrals in kind. When you show you care about others enough to help them grow their business, you will find that others consider the same holds true for you. Albert Einstein once said, "The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving."
So, now that we've covered giving and receiving referrals, let's discuss the word "trust" and how it applies to the world of networking. As in our own personal relationships, trust in the workplace is the main building block for creating ongoing and long-lasting relationships. Trust is built over time and is almost always earned - not given. Trust is built simply through acceptance, integrity and reliability. It's with this behavior that people will trust you, and therefore, refer you to others. Other qualities require that you be genuinely interested in others, listen properly, and follow up accordingly. In the end, building trust is ESSENTIAL for growing and maintaining a strong business network.
In closing, as you continue to build your relationships and your network, remind yourself that "what goes around comes around." In order to get, you MUST give. Also, your reputation is everything. It's always much easier for people to lose trust in you than it is to earn it. Happy networking!

The Wonder That Is ACH

So, you're trying to line up financing for that luxury car you've always wanted; or that new addition on the house your wife has been "gently" reminding you of; or how about the new sports boat to take the kids water skiing every other weekend? Well, in order to make any of these things happen, most of us turn to our friendly local bank to inquire about a loan to turn our dreams into a reality. Your average banker will often tell you that yes, they finance such requests as those mentioned above. All you have to do is fill out an application, then he or she will run your credit report and take a look at your DTI. This is where you stop and think to yourself, "I know what a credit score is, but what is this DTI they are referring to?"
DTI stands for debt to income ratio. Okay, so what is debt to income ratio? Debt to income ratio is a personal finance measurement that compares the amount of money you earn to the amount of money you owe your creditors. Banks and lenders calculate how much debt their customers can take on before they may start having financial difficulties. The banks and lenders then use these calculations to set lending amounts before approving any new debt the customer is looking to take on. Preferred maximum debt to income ratios will vary from lender to lender, but you can count on a figure somewhere between 36% and 40% as the norm maximum debt to income ratio.
To calculate debt to income ratio, first add up all the payments you make each month to service your debt. Such debt often includes your housing expense (mortgage or rent), credit card payments, car loans, and other debts such as student loans, investment loans, etc. Next, divide your total monthly debt by your gross income per month (before taxes), then multiply that number by 100 to get your debt to income ratio as a percentage.
Let's say each month your mortgage payment is $1,400, your car payment is $400 and you pay $200 on credit cards. Totaled, your monthly debt commitment is $2,000 per month.
If you make $54,000 a year, your monthly gross income is $54,000 divided by 12 months for a total of $4,500 per month.
Therefore, your debt to income ratio is $2,000 (outstanding monthly debt payments) divided by $4,500 (monthly income), which works out to about .44 (x 100) you get a 44% debt to income ratio.
In this example, a 44% debt to income ratio, by most bank standards, will be considered high; therefore, if this was your situation, you might be declined for a new loan request. In some cases, however, an approval may be granted, but that approval may come at a cost in which you would be asked to pay a higher than market interest rate for your new loan.
So there you have it - a brief insight of what your banker is referring to when he mentions your DTI ratio. It should be noted that by keeping your debt to income ratio low, you can be assured that you can financially handle the debt you have already taken on, and most likely qualify for future credit. Carefully manage that debt and before you know it, you'll have that new car, home addition or boat you've always wanted!

UK school bans triangular shaped flapjacks after student hit in the eye during food fight
(Mike Opelka) Which one of these two pastries do you consider to be dangerous enough to be banned from a school in England?
If you said that the triangular-shaped pastry was a risk to human life and should be banned, give yourself a pat on the back! (And maybe you should consider a career in the ever-increasing Nanny State.)
During a food fight at the Castle View School on Canvey Island in Essex, one student was hit in the eye by a tri-cornered cookie. The child was sent home and has since made a full recovery. However, the school was not satisfied and held a formal review of the shape and texture of these food items (they call them "flapjacks").
After a thorough investigation, the school has decided to ban the triangle-shaped flapjacks. They have actually ordered the cooks to no longer cut the flapjacks into triangles. Squares and rectangles are still allowed.
BBC reporter John Brain visited a coffee shop near the school and posed the safety question to several patrons. Their astonished responses say it all:

Paul Venezia and Etienne Perot nail it
Well, I didn't write this, but it bears repeating. In an InfoWorld blog item, Paul Venezia pretty much explains why the Amazon thing is not Ubuntu's biggest problem. Rather than paraphrase, I'll let you read it on your own:
Best quote: "But the biggest problem I have with the Amazon debacle is another comment by Shuttleworth: "Don't trust us? Erm, we have root. You do trust us with your data already." That level of hubris from the founder of Ubuntu, in the face of what is clearly a bad idea badly implemented, should leave everyone with a bad taste in their mouth. If this idea can make it to the next Ubuntu release, then what other bad ideas are floating around? What's next? Why should we maintain that trust?"
Further, and quoted in the blog above, Etienne Perot outlines what a mess this is — and how to get out of it — in a post from a few weeks ago here:
One of the solutions: See "Step 3: Make it opt-in, rather than opt-out".

Wardrobe Chic: Katie Gallagher
With the series premiere of her first sitcom (ultimately called Ellen but initially advertised as These Friends of Mine) only two months away, comedienne Ellen DeGeneres talked to ELLE about all those Jerry Seinfeld comparisons ("I'd rather my show be the female Seinfeld than the female Saved By the Bell") and her then still-closeted romantic life: "Let's start a rumor that I'm dating a man who's 95," the 36-year-old quipped. (January)
When Academy Award nominee River Phoenix unexpectedly passed away from drug-induced heart failure outside LA's Viper Room on Halloween in 1993, it wasn't just young Hollywood that mourned his death but also industry insiders like ELLE contributor Reid Rosefelt who saw in Phoenix's performances in The Mosquito Coast, Running on Empty, and his last film, My Own Private Idaho, the makings of a screen legend.

In this article, we'll show you how to cut out and assemble the square-edged moldings to make the window and door trim, baseboard, cove and plate rail you see in the photos here. The trim may look complex, but because it's built up from multiple pieces, it's actually quite easy to install. The 1/2-in. square moldings that run against the floor and along the edges of the cove bend easily to conform to irregular surfaces and hide gaps. In addition, most of the inside corner pieces simply butt together and don't require miters or bevels. You'll still have to work carefully to get nice-fitting joints, but the small size of the individual pieces makes them easier to cut and fit.
Assemble the tools and select materials
In addition to basic hand tools, you'll need a table saw to rip the thin strips from larger boards and a miter saw to make crisp, clean cuts in the hardwood. We used a bench-top planer to remove saw marks and to reduce the thickness of the 3/4-in. stock to 1/2-in. for some of the trim pieces (Photo 2). If you don't own a planer, hire the lumberyard or a local woodworker to plane these pieces for you. We recommend an air powered trim nailer (Photo 5), which not only speeds up the work but also makes it much easier to get tight-fitting joints. You can rent a nailer and compressor or buy a kit containing both at a fairly low cost.
We're using "plain sawn" red oak for this project rather than the more expensive "quarter sawn" that was common for Craftsman trim. It's readily available at home centers and most lumberyards. To simplify your planning, all the pieces are either 1x4s (3/4-in. x 3-1/2 in. actual size) or can be cut from 1x4s.The key to using plain sawn oak is to select the boards for similar appearance and attractive grain patterns. Straight-grained pieces usually look best and should be reserved for prominent locations. Use the less attractive wood for baseboards in areas that will be hidden by furniture. If you have a better selection of wider boards, 1x6s for example, buy these instead and rip them on the table saw to make your moldings.
Begin by making the moldings
Start the project by measuring the doors, windows and walls of your room and calculate the quantities of each piece of trim you'll need. Then rip all the pieces to width on your table saw (Figure A and Photo 1). Add 1/8 in. extra to the width to allow for planing. To rip thin strips safely without removing the blade guard, clamp an extension to your table saw fence and use a custom-made push block like the one shown in Photo 1. When all the pieces are ripped, run them through the planer to remove saw blade marks from the edges. Then separate the pieces that need to be reduced to 1/2 in. thick and plane them down (Photo 2). Run them through the planer about four or five times, removing no more than 1/16 in. with each pass until they measure ½ in. thick.
Install window and door casing
Trim the doors and windows first. Start by making a series of light marks every 12 in. along the jambs, 3/16 in. in from the inside edge with a sharp pencil, to indicate the edge of the trim (inset, Photo 4). On windows, install the stool first. We added a stool to a casement (crank-out) window by simply gluing and nailing it to the jamb (Photo 3). The stool on double-hung windows (windows where the sashes slide up and down) usually rests on top of the sill. You have to notch the ends to fit against the wall.
Measure between the jambs and add 9-3/8 in. to determine the length of the stool (1 in. beyond the side casings). Then center it on the window and glue and nail it to the jamb (Photo 3). It's difficult to get the stool and frame perfectly flush. Predrill the stool with a 5/64-in. bit and continue the hole 1/4 in. into the frame. Keep the frame and stool aligned while you drill. Cut the 1x4 apron 2 in. shorter than the stool. Center it on the window and snug it up to the bottom of the stool before nailing it to the framing under the window. For a durable, tight-fitting trim job, especially when working with 3/4-in. trim, it's essential to nail into the wall framing. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of studs and other framing around windows, doors and ceiling edges. When nailing through drywall into the framing, use 2-1/2 in. finish nails. If you're hand nailing, predrill the oak with a 5/64-in. bit.
Mark and cut side casings (Photo 4). Be sure to trim the end that rests on the stool for a tight fit before marking the top. Drive 1-1/2 in. nails every 16 in. into the jambs along the inside edge and 2-1/2 in. nails through the outside edge into the wall framing. Complete the window by assembling the head jamb and nailing overtop (Photo 6). Don't use a power nailer to attach the fillet to the jamb. Instead drill 5/64-in. pilot holes through the fillet and drive 2-in. long finish nails by hand (the same technique you used to attach the stool in Photo 3). With the exception of the stool, trim out doors just like windows.
Install the baseboard
The baseboard consists of a 1x4 with a two-piece cap and a square molding (base shoe) that covers gaps at the floor (Figure A). Before you start installing the base, locate the center of the wall studs with a stud finder or other method and mark their locations on the floor (mark on the paper used to protect the floor, or use strips of masking tape). Run the first piece of base wall to wall. Then cut square ends on the adjoining pieces and butt them into the first piece. If there's a gap at the butted joint, use a scribing tool (Photo 7) to mark the base and then recut it along the scribed line. Miter the base to fit around outside corners. Cut boards a few inches too long and mark in place whenever possible. Then make your cut about 1/16 in. beyond the mark to allow for fine adjustments. Mark, cut and fit both sides of outside corners before nailing either piece to the wall.
Nail the 1/2-in. x 1-1/4 in. lower cap down to the 1x4 base. Use a sharp handsaw to notch the lower cap to overlap door casings (Photo 8). This is a highly visible joint, so work for a tight fit. Once again, butt inside corners and miter outside corners. Cut and fit the top cap using the same technique as the 1x4 base. On floors without carpet, finish the baseboard by installing the square base shoe molding along the floor. Press the molding tight to the floor to cover gaps and nail it to the baseboard with 1-1/4-in. finish nails.
Install the cove
The cove molding consists of five pieces. Start by locating and marking the wall studs and ceiling framing members. If you put the marks about 4 in. from the wall and ceiling corner, they'll be hidden by the trim. You probably won't find any ceiling framing along two of the walls that run parallel to the ceiling joists. Photo 12 shows how to attach the trim to the ceiling along these walls.
Start the installation by installing the 1x4 against the wall. This is exactly like installing the baseboard, except you'll need a ladder. Next install the 1x4 flat to the ceiling. Miter the inside and outside corners. Walls are rarely perfectly square to each other, so for a perfect fit you'll probably have to adjust the angles a fraction of a degree. Use a pair of test boards cut at 45 degrees to test the fit (Photo 11). If there's a gap, adjust the miter box angle slightly until they fit. Complete the cove by nailing the three remaining square profile moldings to the 1x4s (Photo 13).
Install the plate rail
We installed the plate rail 14 in. down from the top of the door head casing. Begin by marking this distance on the wall. Then measure down from the bottom of the cove molding and use this measurement to mark the height of the molding around the remainder of the room. A pencil mark every 4 ft. and at the corners is sufficient. This method is usually better than leveling because the rail will be parallel to the ceiling. Once again locate and mark the stud locations. Installation is similar to the base and cove. Nail up the rail first. Then notch the shelf to overlap door and window casings by 1-1/2 in. and nail it down into the 1x4. Use 1-1/2 in. brads or finish nails. Next cut the shelf cove and nail it to the rail. Overlap this piece 3/4 in. onto door and window casings. Complete the plate rail by nailing the shelf cove edge to the rail (Photo 14).
Apply the finishing touches
Sand the boards and trim pieces with 120-grit sandpaper followed by 180-grit and stain them before installation. We used Zar brand Provincial oil stain for most of the trim. For the darker-stained pieces, we used Zar Dark Mahogany. When all the moldings are installed, brush on a coat of sanding sealer. Then putty the nail holes with soft Color Putty. Mix two colors of putty to get a match if necessary. Lightly sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper after the sealer dries. Vacuum off the dust and recoat with the polyurethane or varnish of your choice. Use the same brand of finish for the seal coat and the final coat.

How popular are these at your academy and is it mainly the advanced students who attend them?
How popular are these at your academy and is it mainly the advanced students who attend them?
When i first started i went along and learnt alot from open mat sessions, just depends whos there and if their willing to share their secrets.
Any mat time is good mat time!
"Death and pain are just a small price to pay for the enjoyment of battle!"
We run them they go down very well, attracts all levels. We normally have two or three blues down and just share ideas, roll and these are cheaper so you can just get away from the wife for a few hours heheh
"I honestly can't even remember my old signature, so I'll have this one"
It all depends on the people on the mat. I have learned more from open mat sessions than many lessons. I've also walked into some open mats where it's been like walking into a wild west saloon where strangers are obviously not welcome lol.
we have them now, i just roll or grab someone and drill whatever technique i'm working on at the time
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
Our open mat classes are very popular with Beginners with at least three months of Brazilian jiu jitsu experience and blue belts and above. Classes will include a warm up, and possible technique review, but will primarily focus on jiu jitsu sparing (like an open mat with a warm up and a theme)
"Scotlands Biggest Brazilian jiu jitsu academy"
The scheduled open mat sessions at the Griphouse are really popular, always a good bunch of guys of all different levels there, white, blue, purples and brown as well as visiting black belts.
People should take advantage fo them to pick the more expierenced guys brains and share knowledge
Open mat sessions are good but I think it's important to either just keep them to sparring/drilling (stuff previously taught in class, not from YouTube videos!) only or have a high level belt there... otherwise you end up with lower level guys teaching shitty techniques to total newbs.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
We hold them every couple of weeks at the Pedro Bessa academies through Wales. Pedro holds them in Bristol too. Good chance to catch up with the wider team, roll with different people etc.
Our guys regularly go to Gracie barra preston and lagartos academy for open mats great to roll with fellow team members.

Flood damage: Weld estimates 2,900 residential properties, 2,300 agricultural parcels impacted by flood
September 18, 2013
» Greeley History Museums cancelled History Fest today, scheduled for 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday have not been cancelled.

The floating mobile homes, washed out highways and submerged cars that embodied the devastating portrait of Weld County's floods over the weekend were put into numbers on Monday, with Weld County commissioners estimating at least $230 million in damages to properties and infrastructure countywide.
"That's just the preliminary number," said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway at a briefing with Colorado Gov. Hickenlooper on Monday afternoon.
As waters continued to recede throughout the day and roads gradually reopened, emergency officials began to transition out of "emergency" mode and into "recovery" mode, sending out 10 crews to do preliminary damage assessments.
County officials estimate more than 7,000 parcels of land were impacted by floodwaters, 2,900 of them residential. Another 2,300 are agricultural parcels, said Jennifer Finch, spokeswoman for Weld County commissioners. She said 355 commercial and 62 industrial properties were also damaged.
A total of 140 roads in the county were closed at some point, with 654 lane miles of Weld's roadways impacted by the flood. That doesn't count the damage done to some state corridors, namely the section of U.S. 34 midway between Greeley and Kersey that was literally dissolved by the flood.
Sixty-four irrigation canals were damaged in the flood, Finch said.
The Poudre River hovered around 7 feet high on Monday, with Greeley officials suggesting a voluntary evacuation along the river until those levels drop over the next few days. After peaking at nearly 19 feet on Friday night, the South Platte River is expected to rise to 17 feet on Monday night and then steadily drop to normal levels, according to the National Weather Service.
Roy Rudisill, emergency operations manager for Weld County, said the county would probably have to wait until Wednesday to wholly assess the damage, especially in the hard-hit areas of east Greeley, Evans and Milliken.
Commissioners told Hickenlooper their biggest concern at this point is where those displaced from the flood will stay during the coming weeks and months they don't have a home.
With a vacancy rate of less than 1.5 percent in the Greeley area and a similarly tight lodging market, many have nowhere to turn for shelter.
"These are people that are not likely to have flood insurance," Conway told Hickenlooper. County officials have estimated 400 people were housed at the evacuation centers in Greeley, Milliken, Johnstown, LaSalle, Longmont, Erie, Fort Lupton and Niwot at any given time.
"They are not likely to have any insurance. And they have lost everything," he said.
Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer suggested the Governor's Office use funding from the Community Development Block Grant program, which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced is available to use in counties where there has been a disaster declaration. HUD will also offer foreclosure relief and other assistance in Weld.
Residents and business owners impacted by the flood are eligible for federal aid, but Kirkmeyer said she fears it will take too long for FEMA money to come through.
Roxane White, Hickenlooper's chief of staff, said the Governor's Office must first assess the need statewide, but that could be an option.
The county has also experienced a furor of issues with water and wastewater plants due to flooding. In Evans, thousands of residents have been told not to flush their toilets or shower, thanks to damage to the 1st Avenue wastewater plant, prompting Greeley-Evans School District 6 to close schools on Monday. Evans is in the process of placing port a-potties in schools and configuring temporary infrastructure to get some sewage pumped by Greeley's wastewater plant.
In LaSalle, too, residents have been asked not to run any water down their drains until 5 p.m. on Wednesday because their wastewater system was damaged, and portable toilets were set up in the community center. Left Hand Water District in southwest Weld County can not reach a portion of residents on its system, and Firestone issued a boil order to its residents as a precaution against residuals of chlorine detected in the water.
Rudisill said there are no reports of missing people that have come through any law enforcement agencies in Weld County. He said the Emergency Operations Center has been forwarding calls for inquiries of missing family members and friends to the Red Cross, but Weld is reporting zero unaccounted people.
In the midst of the disarray over the weekend, Rudisill said the county ran out of barricades to keep people from driving down so many endangered roads, and Weld lost three patrol cars doing search and rescue.
First responders received a total of 2,603 calls for service.
In one instance, a family near Kersey was forced to stay in their home Friday night because there was no way for first responders to reach them, Rudisill said.
Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said he's since had to reorganize his manpower to ensure deputies can get to calls despite the crippling effects the floodwaters have had on roads.
"Our biggest challenge will be getting to the locations we need to be," Cooke said.
He got a bird's-eye view of damage in the central part of the county on Monday, thanks to a courtesy flight provided by TYJ Global in Platteville. Cooke said he's been on the ground in many of the hardest-hit areas, but seeing the devastation from above put things into a different perspective.
"You can be just a few yards away and everything's fine, and just a few yards another way and everything's ruined," Cooke said.

REDLANDS - Matt Hansen, a 2009 Redlands High School graduate, was recently awarded the 2012 Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement through the Air Force ROTC program at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
The award recognized Hansen, 21, a cadet wing commander of the school's AFROTC Detachment 040, as the top rising senior cadet in the Southwest.
He is also one of the top four senior cadets among the 144 AFROTC detachments nationwide which represents more than 1,000 schools and more than 15,000 cadets.
The Bronze Cross was pinned on him by Col. Charles Corley, detachment commander, Loyola's Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps.
The ceremony was held on campus.
Hansen said had no idea he was nominated.
"It was a big surprise for me, but an honor. And it kept me motivated to keep on working," he said.
Hansen once had no interest in joining the military or an ROTC program.
He played water polo and had long hair during his time at Redlands High.
It wasn't until he graduated from high school that he discovered the program while attending college in Florida. He returned to Southern California to attend Loyola and continue his work with the program, he said.
"I just liked the military structure, and the ability, the environment where you could be a leader," Hansen said.
Instead of joining right out of high school, Hansen opted to have a "typical" college experience first, he said.
"I've always wanted to join the military, and had been thinking about going to the academy. But I also wanted to have a more social college experience, and you don't usually get that in a military academy," he said. "But between college and military training, I loved it."
Hansen expects to graduate from Loyola in 2014 with a degree in electrical engineering.
Upon graduation, he will enter the Air Force as a commissioned officer and hopes to be selected for the Euro-NATO Joint JET pilot training program.
Hansen plans to stay in the Air Force for at least 10 years. He said he hopes to make a career out of flying for the military.
His parents, Lavonne and Harvey Hansen, are excited for their son to continue on his path of military service.
"Matt's always kind of set his goals pretty high, probably since he was 3," said his mother. "We're really proud of him, wholeheartedly. His whole goal is to serve his country."
Before college, Hansen was recognized for his academic, sports and civic achievements by the California Scholarship Federation and National Society of High School Scholars. He reached the rank of Eagle Scout, and received city commendations for his participation as a member of the Redlands High 2007 water polo team that won a CIF championship.

I don't know where to say this but you guys are awesome. bt5r3 is just what I need. I'm a network admin and I have to run Windows at work, but it now runs under a vm on Ubuntu. I will be moving to bt5 as soon as I can (stability of my workstation is paramount so changes are always concerning). bt5r3 is already on my home machine and my work laptop.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for a great OS and for not forcing Gnome3 and Unity on us. Please don't follow that Ubuntu path.

He was said to have had "antisocial issues," withdrawing and refusing to participate in class.
Few of those who believe Hernandez is guilty will be surprised by a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder.
He had all his digits and limbs and, to my knowledge, had committed no antisocial acts with his legally obtained explosives.
But when this witness began to act out in antisocial ways, his mother sent him off to foster care.
Over against it stands the antisocial character of magic, at any rate when directed against individuals.
"We mustn't be antisocial, Mr. Funston," Miss Abercrombie said lightly, but firmly.
Nevertheless, this mass of youth is on the whole in an unnatural position—an antisocial relation.
The individual is assumed to be by nature an antisocial being.
His antisocial nature and his miserable manner of living kept every one from him.
All sorts of antisocial arts may be practised for his destruction.
antisocial an·ti·so·cial (ān'tē-sō'shəl, ān'tī-)
Behaving in a manner that violates the social or legal norms of society.

As air travelers, we can relate to the experience of waiting in lines at airports. We are used to seeing screeners, whose technical titles are Transportation Security Officers (TSO's). They guide us through the security process and work to keep us safe and secure everyday. Have you ever wanted to speak to Transportation Security Officers, to thank them or tell them you supported them in their mission, but felt unsure if it was appropriate to do so? Now here is your chance.
Families of September 11, in partnership with Transportation Security Administration and The Camilla Group is offering you a unique opportunity to participate in a volunteer speakers program. There will be another speaking event coming up at Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) on Tuesday, June 26th (Please keep in mind that the date is tentative and may change). We invite you to join us and participate in this program!
The program allows volunteers to speak to TSO's at their local airport alongside FOS11 Board Member, Carie Lemack. This is your opportunity to get involved in a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of thorough and consistent security checks. You will have the unique opportunity to visit with screeners, express solidarity, empower yourself and share your story. This program will engage volunteers nationwide and will allow you to:
FOS11 member volunteer and survivor of 62nd Floor WTC 2, Greg Clark recounts his experience with this program:I found the experience of talking to the TSA team in Miami very rewarding. After surviving the 9-11 attacks I have been searching for ways to prevent something like this happening to other people. The TSA personnel have a really tough job and they were very appreciative of my telling of how I escaped the trade center on 9-11, afterwards many came and thanked me and gave me a hug. I hope that the message we delivered will help keep the TSA people on the top of their game protecting us from another tragedy.
Don Goodrich, FOS11 Board member, provides the following account of his experience speaking to TSO's in Vermont.It is all too easy to reflect on what might have been – to imagine every possible thing that might have saved the lives lost on September 11, 2001. It is harder to confront the enormous challenges faced by Transportation Security Officers as they work 24 hours a day 7 days a week to prevent more lost lives. Last May Carie Lemack and I participated in a presentation/exchange with the officers at the Burlington (VT) International Airport. It was an empowering experience to learn what is really happening as passengers prepare to board their plans, get a better understanding of the frustrations of the officers screening them and join with them to help improve safety at our airports. It is out of this type dialogue that the resolve of the officers, the policies of their managers and the safety of our airports will improve and I am glad I had a part in it.--Don Goodrich, Father of Peter Goodrich, who died on United Airlines Flight 175
If you decide to volunteer, you will work closely with the FOS11 staff. They will assist your preparation for the event and offer talking points and training to help you tell your story. Please let us know if you are interested in becoming a volunteer by emailing email@example.com. Thank you for considering this opportunity – we hope you will volunteer a few hours of your time to make a big difference in the security of an airport near you.

Major League Lacrosse's Championship Weekend goes down this Saturday and Sunday at PPL Park in Chester, Pa., and the No. 2-seeded Chesapeake Bayhawks will be defending their 2012 title against three-seed Hamilton at 4 p.m. on Saturday, live on CBS Sports. Top-seed and undefeated Denver battles upstart Charlotte in the first semifinal at 1 p.m. Saturday (ESPN2). Winners advance to Sunday's championship game at 3 p.m. (ESPN2).
In preparation for the season finale, Inside Lacrosse hosted a series of live Google+ Hangouts this week, and Thursday at 3 p.m., we talked to 2013 MLL Offensive Player of the Year Kevin Crowley and Joe Walters of the Hamilton Nationals. This video chat was broadcast live on InsideLacrosse.com, as well as through IL's Google+ account and YouTube channel.
Crowley recently won the MLL's Offensive Player of the Year award, after putting up a career-high 55 points (tied for the league lead with Denver's Chris Bocklet). The third-year player, former Tewaaraton Trophy finalist and current Team Canada hopeful had 57 points in his first two MLL seasons with Hamilton.
Walters was right behind Crowley among the league leaders, with 48 points this regular season. The seven-year veteran and former U.S. Teamer is nearing 300 points in his decorated MLL career and comes off his second straight NLL title with the Rochester Knighthawks. The Maryland great is seeking his third MLL championship after winning back-to-back rings with Rochester and Toronto in 2008-09.
In addition to Crowley learning that he won league MVP honors during this Google+ Hangout, Inside Lacrosse also gave a sneak peek at our October cover, which will be available next week for digital download on iTunes, Google Play and the Amazon AppStore.

Why would you want to do that?
I'm looking for program to change my Proxy every minute.
can you.
Why would you want to do that?
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
I advise you to read the forum rules:
Escpecially this part:
Use sensible descriptive titles in your posts - not titles such as "Please Help!!" or "Need Assistance" or "what Am I Doing Wrong?" etc


text: '"We didn't put the work in," Sabres defenseman Jaroslav Spacek said. "In the first period we tried to stay out a little too long. We had a couple of chances, didn't bury them. When they scored the first goal they started to just play [a] soft game, play simple. They just didn't give us anything. It was always four or five guys back. Sometimes we tried too hard, and sometimes way too casual."'

I love this tweak and had it since it came out. I control music, XBMC, Siriproxy and X10 devices. My Jarvis if you will. I have a 4s centrally located running the tweak with mic and amplified speakers in most rooms of the house wired to the headphone port of the 4s. Works well and impressive. Only problem and disadvantage to this tweak is AirPlay. Its cancelled while the listening service is on so I have to split the signal hard wired for audio. Bluetooth works great with this tweak also when I now get in the car with my i5.
How much of a battery hog is it really? Does anybody have any real world tests where you can tell us how many more percent it used by the end of the day weether it was on as compared to when it was off?
I found another bug - or more like a conflict. When Assistant Love is turned on with HandsFree - even if you have Spotify and Grooveshark set to OFF in Assistant Love - Siri will not be able to find your playlists when using the Hands Free mode. When you turn Assistant Love OFF - then HandsFree can find your playlists. This is a very repeatable scenario on my iPhone 5. So it's a conflict between Assistant Love and Hands Free. Since Assistant Love's been around for a while I think it's on Hands Free to make the change - to 'play nicely'. LOL!! For some reason Hands Free CAN find individual sons when Assistant Love is also on. But not playlists.
If you set the audio setting to "high" in the Hands-Free Control settings there is no change made to the audio session and no skip.

Beavers look to deliver bad news to Bears
DÉJÀ VU, ALL OVER AGAIN, SORT OF: Last week the Beavers played in Pullman for the first time since 2009, after playing the Cougars at CenturyLink Field in Seattle in 2011. This week OSU plays in Berkeley for the first time since that same 2009 season after playing at AT&T Park in The City in '11.
DÉJÀ VU, ALL OVER AGAIN, SORT OF II: Last week the OSU vs. Washington State game featured the top two passing offenses in the Pac-12. This week the matchup between OSU and Cal has the same factoid. OSU is first at 433.2 yards per game while Cal is second at 371.3. WSU entered last week's game averaging 360 yards per game via the pass, but only managed 270 vs. the Beavers.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY: Saturday ends a span of the Beavers playing just one home game over a six-week span, that includes four night road games and one bye. The Beavers have played the fewest home games in the league – tied with Arizona and UCLA (both have had two byes). The good news is that OSU has just one remaining game where it travels by plane (Nov. 16 @ ASU); every other Pac-12 team has at least two such trips, ASU and Utah have three. There have been some long nights for the Beavs in 2013 as the team returned from earlier road games at Utah at 4:30 a.m. PDT (5:30 a.m. MDT), 3 a.m. from San Diego State and 3:30 a.m. from Washington State. It will be somewhere around 4 a.m. following Saturday's game at Cal. And, for good measure the Oct. 26 home game vs. Stanford is at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 1 home contest vs. USC is at 6 p.m.
MATCHING 1939? Oregon State enters Saturday trying to win a Pac-12 road game for the third time in three tries in the 2013 season. The last time the Beavers won their first three road league contests in the same year was 1939 with victories over Stanford, Washington and Oregon in what was then called the Pacific Coast Conference. The team finished 9-1-1 that season and played in the inaugural Pineapple Bowl in Honolulu on Jan. 1, 1940. The Beavers haven't won three straight league road games in one season since 2008 at Washington, UCLA and Arizona.
HOME AWAY FROM HOME: The road has been kind to the Beavers this season as OSU is off to a 3-0 start. Northern Illinois has the most true road game wins this season with four, followed by Oregon State, Oregon, Central Florida and Missouri with three.

If you could be any Animal for a day what would it be and why?
If you die you just turn human again.
Personally I would be a Snow owl why? You just have to admire there sheer intelligence and hunting ability. I feel they are one of the most remarkable and beautiful creatures discovered and im so happy they are around in our lifetime so we can experience first hand there greatness.
Lastly a few fun facts about Snowy owls
Snowy Owls are diurnal, which means that unlike most other owls they are active and hunt during the day and night.
The diet of Snowy Owls consists mainly of lemmings. They are known to sit and wait for their prey and spend most of their time perched still and silent on prominent lookouts.
Lemming populations are cyclic and in years when lemming populations are down Snowy Owls often leave the arctic regions and fly south in search of food. Because of this, about once every four years Snowy Owls are found as far south as the northern and central United States.
An adult Snowy Owl can eat three to five lemmings per day, or up to 1,600 per year.
The feathers of Snowy Owls have no pigment, leaving more space for air which helps them to keep warmer because air is such a good insulator.
Their legs and toes are heavily feathered to protect them from the harsh weather in cold arctic regions.
Snowy Owls often hang out at airports, perhaps because the wide open spaces remind them of the tundra.
Although Snowy Owls have few predators, they still have to be watchful of arctic foxes, wolves and other animals during the nesting season. Males defend the nest by standing guard nearby while the female incubates the eggs and broods the young. When a predator approaches both parents will dive-bomb (even wolves!) and try to distract them away from the nest.
The Snowy Owl is also known as the Arctic Owl or Great White Owl. A group of owls has many different names, including a bazaar, glaring, parliament, stooping and a wisdom of owls.
The breeding range of the Snowy Owl is circumpolar, ranging across the northern regions of Greenland, Scandinavia, Russia, Alaskia and Canada.

Monday, May 23 2011 - 9/11 Consequences
Boiling Frogs Exclusive: Intelligence and Law Enforcement Experts on Ever-Changing Bin Laden Death Script
Monday, 9 May 2011
Not All Sources and Experts Are Equal--Here Are some Real Ones!
There are 'experts' views,' and then there are experts' views. There are 'government sources,' and then there are government sources. Not all experts are equal. And, not all sources are reliable. Am I talking in riddles? Of course not; give me a chance and I'll explain.
We have members of the popular media (mainstream and quasi-alternatives alike) ever anxious to market and disseminate government conspiracy and propaganda. They, members of the popular media, have their own rolodex of 'experts' and analysts, some on their payroll, to help them propagate the delivery and execution of government-given propaganda-conspiracy. The same principle applies to 'sources.' The popular media relies on their government sources who act as middle-men-government messengers who've been given a government written and approved script to be delivered; almost always anonymously. Well, this is exactly what we have been getting from our media, around the clock, since the announcement of the Bin Laden Death Operation: ever-changing government scripts, delivered mainly by anonymous government sources to the US media, and further embellished and expanded upon by government-connected experts and analysts on the payroll.
On the other hand, there are many independent real experts whose analyses and views you won't, or rarely, get to hear or read about; at least not in the mainstream media or at quasi-alternative sites. And there are current and former government sources not tasked with messenger duties; many of whom don't see the 'calculated' necessity to remain 'anonymous.' I can assure you, you do not, and will not, read or hear these experts' and sources' statements, analyses or views when it comes to government-written stories and their media buddies.
Last weekend Boiling Frogs Post contacted several independent sources and experts, and asked them for their straight-forward take on the absurdity-filled and ever-changing Bin Laden Death story. I say independent, because they are. As you'll see these veterans and sources come from all different walks of Intelligence-Law Enforcement-Military, and as far as political orientation goes, they fall into every single category-liberal, conservative, libertarian and none. I want to thank them all for honoring the request given to them on extremely short notice, and for being honest, direct, commonsensical, and in some cases realistically humorous. Here is what they had to say, and say it briefly per my request, starting with my favorite investigative reporter and bestselling author, whom I respect tremendously and consider 'truly independent,' James Bamford:
I don't know what happened, but here's what I suspect. The White House press office was horrified. The image of an unarmed Bin Laden killed in his PJs, and his unarmed wife shot as she was trying to protect him, was too bland for prime time TV. So after consulting with the "perception managers" at The Rendon Group, they quickly called together a team of experts for a conference in the Roosevelt Room to come up with a better narrative.
Among those present was Nurse Nayirah, daughter of the former Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S., accompanied by several PR representatives from Hill & Knowlton. It was her false claim that she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in Kuwait and leave them on the floor to die, a lie propagandized around the world by H&K, that helped push the U.S. into the first Gulf War. Sitting next to her was Ahmed Chalabi, the man whose deceptions about Saddam and his WMD, heavily promoted by the New York Times, helped lead the country to war with Iraq. Then there was Jim Wilkinson, the Bush master propagandist who needed to find a way to get the country behind the war. He thus fed the story to the media of how Pvt. Jessica Lynch fearlessly mowed down Fedayeen terrorists with her M16 until she ran out of ammo, whereupon she was shot, stabbed, captured, tortured and raped. Unfortunately, through no fault of Lynch, it was later discovered to be totally made up. Finally, there was General Stanley McCrystal, largely responsible for promoting the fact that football star and Army private Pat Tillman was killed in a heroic battle in Afghanistan when in reality he was accidentally shot by his own men. The false story was then ballyhooed by the press and used by the Army as a major recruiting tool for the Afghan War.
After a few hours going around the table for ideas, the White House press people finally had their story. With one hand wrapped around his wife as a shield, Bin Laden used the other in a desperate effort to fight off capture by firing wildly at the commandos with an AK-47, but was finally taken down with a bullet right between his eyes.

Two UN guys are sitting in a bar in Kabul -- and one turns to the other and says "Did you hear the one about the president, the terrorism advisor and the pope?" The second guy turns to the other and says "Well -- no -- I have not" -- and the first guys says "Me neither -- but it cannot be any more funny than the way the White House has handled the narrative of the Bin Laden raid."
Four days after the Bin Laden raid, and in the middle of what must have been the 10th White House modification to the story, I was asked in an on-air interview "don't you (in the Special Operations Community) have plans for dealing with the media?" -- well yes, yes, we do... but this plan was not used due to the White House insinuation of their "academic smart guys and gals" -- so the plan was not followed -- because the raid became a White House center piece that was quickly (and badly) absorbed for purposes of supporting the President's reelection.
National security -- and what is best and necessary for the nation -- should NOT be an issue that is used by either side for political gain... the harsh reality is that it often is. As I have said many time: "I am not anti-war, I am anti-stupidity... " we have sycophants in the White House who will do or say anything to get the President re-elected and sacrifice the truth, and the nation's best interests, in the process as they drive the clown car of freedom around the nation for a victory lap...

Russell D. Tice- Former Intelligence Analyst for the U.S. Air Force, Office of Naval Intelligence, Defense Intelligence Agency & National Security Agency
From my own 25-years experience on the inside much of it doing international covert operations, I'm pretty certain that the competing federal bureaucracies' decades long, often bizarre war for headlines is at the root of this whole weird episode. Of course this is fueled by the ease with which mainstream media is manipulated into printing absolutely anything that comes from their "inside" usually "anonymous" sources.
With the Bin Laden hit, the media skirmish started with the scramble for "credit" by the public affairs offices of each of the parties involved a. First the Pentagon (Defense Intelligence) and White House take the lead. Then the CIA, the Criminal Inept Agency, sorely hurting from five decades of being total and abject losers and perpetually at war with DIA, grabs the whole ball and runs with it, like they invented it. This pisses off the DIA and leaks and counter-leaks begin to spring in every direction from inside sources on both sides, sniping at each other's "story."
But you can't count out the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Incompetence, who has been totally and insultingly left out of the whole mix. Rumor is they even had an FBI Files episode on "How the FBI killed Bin Laden," ready to go into production, no matter how Bin Laden died. All they needed was a body. Leaving them totally out of the kill of the dude for whom they've spent half their PR budget hunting, ... well ... insulting to say the least. And you do NOT want to piss off the FBI. Remember Cointelpro?!
Finally. What really happened? My bet is that some Navy Seal captain in charge of the guys out there circling around Pakistan's night skies in helicopters like sitting ducks waiting for the Washington suits to make up their minds, said, "Screw it! I'll take responsibility. Let's do it guys!"

A part of me is going to miss Bin Laden, at least I understood him. I certainly do not condone his methods or his twisted logic; but his actions were extremely predictable (I was one of the few people that actively tried to prevent 9-11). But I do not understand our own government. First we attack a country that had nothing to do with 9-11, we lower our moral standing in the eyes of the world, we violate our Constitution, we turn our military into the Peace Corps resulting in thousands of our own military casualties and tens of thousands of innocent civilian casualties overseas, we treat our own citizens as guilty of something until proven otherwise at airports, the list is endless. The final straw, however, is the PR campaign of the killing of BL. If ever there was a "black operation" in the traditional use of the term, this was it. Our government should have said nothing about this assassination. Oh, word would have leaked out over time and years from now we could have our day in the sun, but this isn't the time. We celebrate this killing like it's the winning touch-down at the Super Bowl. All this dog and pony show is a rallying cry for the same fanatics that rioted and killed over cartoons. How many more innocent lives will be lost just so our politicians can make a little splash in the news?

OMG, Marion. This article suggests exactly what Teddy's Radman said to us 3 weeks ago when I asked him how 2 tumors can be shrinking. He said, "Ask Dr. Cavalcant (ONC) about hormones!!!
I have often thought about this. It seems so obvious from all the variation in people's experiences on these boards that each patient's tumors are different. I really think we need research into these differences. Why do some cc tumors grow very slowly or even shrink on their own? Knowing this would be SO useful in developing more effective medical treatments.
Exactly! Teddy is extremely tired all the time and he is even getting B12 shots.
I am thinking it is his "hormones/system" fighting and winning! We will take it.
We go to the ONC Friday so it should be an interesting conversation.
