According to the NTSB there were 494 aviation accidents in 2011. There were 800 Marine (boat) accidents and 759 Railroad accidents. The shocking statistic is that there were 32,367 highway accidents which included motorcycles, semi-trucks, automobiles and pedestrians being hit by cars or trucks etc. What is interesting in reviewing the aviation accident statistics for 2011, the FAA only showed 5 accidents that were investigated and had reports on. It seems that some of the statistics might not be completely correct. There was very little data that I found on all 494 aviation accidents when airplanes or helicopter accidents were involved.
However, though a lot of data from the NTSB and FAA show all types of statistics and data on plane and helicopter accidents, highway accidents, boating accidents, motorcycle accidents, they seem to not have a lot of data that I found about statistics on crop duster plane accidents. A caveat is that I did not do a real extensive search on those types of accidents, as I believe that there are a number of farm accidents when it comes to plane accidents. However we do know from the National Agriculture Aviation Association that in 2004 there were about 2,900 crop dusters, dropping from approximately 5000 in 1996. Additionally, 4.4% of aircraft in the United States are crop dusters but only 4.8% of the plane accidents are crop duster related. Much more information can be gleaned from a good article by Mike Linn of USA Today. His article touches on the statistics and life of a crop duster pilot, including the dangers of being such a pilot.
After I reviewed some of the aviation statistics I noticed that a number of accidents were Helicopter accidents. A number of the accidents were from sightseeing helicopters that transport people to beautiful places around the world. Having been in a helicopter sightseeing along the Grand Canyon I can attest that at least our pilot was safe and the flight was enjoyable. Like anything else though there is risk involved in being injured even getting into your car in the morning or walking down the street to a friend's house.
No matter what, make sure that you look at the safety record of any smaller helicopter or airplane company if you chose to fly in any of their aircraft, especially sight-seeing helicopters. At Penney and Associates injury lawyers, we handle all types of plane, helicopter and any other type of aviation accidents including but not limited to the aforementioned. Penney and Associates has offices located throughout the state of California.

First, you arent allowed a gun in a public place.so could i kill a copper dead to stop him from commiting a serious crime IE i thought, as he had a weapon, and innocent people have been shot before i thought he might kill me?
Second you are leaving yourself wide open to malice intent, since the information you have at the time can be called into question, as how do you know the bloke shot is innocent? I believe you are trying to draw parrells with the De Menezes incident. There is a precise difference as the officers concerned had direct infromation, on top of that, they also have a right to carrry a gun and a percieved role as protectors, the prosecution would eat you alive, the odds being you would go down for murder due to the malice intent.

Descending Into Hawaii's Haleakala Crater
A trip to the floor of the Maui volcano still promises an encounter with the "raw beginnings of world-making"
- By Tony Perrottet
- Photographs by Susan Seubert
- Smithsonian magazine, December 2011, Subscribe
Entering Haleakala Crater, the enormous mouth of Maui's largest volcano, in the Hawaiian Islands, feels like an exercise in sensory deprivation. At the crater floor, a desolate expanse of twisted, dried lava reached after a two-hour hike down a trail carved into its wall, the silence is absolute. Not a breath of wind. No passing insects. No bird songs. Then I thought I detected drumming. Was it the ghostly echo of some ancient ritual? No, I finally realized, it was my own heartbeat, thundering in my ears.
In 2008, National Park Service acoustic experts found that the ambient sound levels within Haleakala crater were near the very threshold of human hearing—despite the popularity of the park. Around one million people a year visit the park, many of whom also ascend to its highest point—Haleakala's 10,023-foot summit—and peer down at the vast field of dried lava below, which, in 1907, the writer and adventurer Jack London called "a workshop of nature still cluttered with the raw beginnings of world-making."
The now-dormant volcano, which emerged from the Pacific Ocean more than a million years ago, takes up fully three-quarters of Maui's landmass. Although its interior, whose rim is 7 1/2 miles long and 2 1/2 miles wide, is commonly called a crater, geologists refer to it as an "erosional depression" because it was created not by an eruption but by two valleys merging. Still, there has been frequent volcanic activity on its floor. Carbon dating and Hawaiian oral history suggest that the last eruption occurred between 1480 and 1780, when a cone on the mountain's southern flank sent lava surging down to La Pérouse Bay, about two miles from Maui's southernmost tip, near the modern resort town of Wailea.
Only a small number of visitors to Haleakala descend to the crater floor. Those who make the effort, as London did on horseback with his wife, friends and a band of Hawaiian cowboys, find themselves in a strangely beautiful world of brittle, contorted lava. "Saw-toothed waves of lava vexed the surface of this weird ocean," wrote the author of The Call of the Wild, "while on either hand arose jagged crests and spiracles of fantastic shape." Initial impressions of the crater as a lifeless wasteland are quickly dispelled. Delicate lichens and wildflowers dot the landscape, along with a bizarre plant found nowhere else on earth called the ahinahina, or Haleakala silversword. The plant grows for up to half a century as a dense ball of metallic-looking leaves, produces a single tall spire that flowers only once, with a brilliant, blood-red blossom, then dies. Endangered Hawaiian birds thrive here, including the largest nesting colony of Hawaiian petrels, or uau, which let out a peculiar barking cry, and Hawaiian geese, called nene.
While much of the crater is the ocher and ashen color of alpine cinder desert, the eastern reaches are a lush green, with swaths of virgin fern forest. London's group camped here, surrounded by ancient ferns and waterfalls. They ate beef jerky, poi and wild goat, and listened to the cowboys sing by the campfire, before descending to the Pacific Ocean via a break in the crater called the Kaupo Gap. "And why...are we the only ones enjoying this incomparable grandeur?" he wondered aloud, according to his wife, Charmian, in her 1917 memoir, Our Hawaii.
On my solitary expedition, the silence of Haleakala did not last long. As I picked my way across the lava fields, the first gusts of wind arrived, then dense clouds that were filled with icy drizzle. Soon the temperature was plummeting and I could barely see my feet for the fog. Thunder was booming by the time I reached Holua cabin, one of three public refuges crafted in 1937 from redwood with help from the Civilian Conservation Corps. They're the only man-made shelters in the crater other than park ranger cabins. I lit a wood-burning stove as the sky erupted in lightning. For the rest of the night, tongues of crackling light illuminated the ghostly, contorted lava fields. Pele, the volatile ancient Hawaiian goddess of fire and volcanoes, must have been displeased.
The story of Haleakala National Park is inseparable from that of Hawaii itself, whose transformation from independent Pacific kingdom to 50th U.S. state has largely been forgotten on the mainland. When the federal government created the park in 1916, less than two decades after it seized the archipelago, it ignored the crater's cultural importance for native Hawaiians. But in recent years, Haleakala's ancient status has gained new attention.
Part of the world's remotest island group, Maui was first settled by humans around A.D. 400-800, possibly by Polynesians,who arrived in outrigger canoes after navigating 2,000 miles of open sea. Called Alehe-la by the ancient Hawaiians, the island's imposing peak eventually became known as Haleakala, or "House of the Sun." It was from its sacred heights, legend holds, that the demigod Maui lassoed the sun as it passed overhead, slowing its passage across the sky to prolong its life-giving warmth.

I lived on Maui for thirteen years and visited Haleakula many times. I felt like I was on top of the world, the view was breathtaking. There is a plant called the Silver Shord,because the leaves are silver and sharp. It grows and blooms every seven years and it is beautiful when it does. I was very lucky to be able to live in a place where there was so much history and beauty.I miss not being there as often as I would like. This year 2012 I am making it a priority to do so.

Nice pictures but would love to see more compelling content like: http://www.fullscreen360.com/haleakala-crater embedded into your article.

I've had the opportunity to hike down on to the floor of the crater,several times and it is amazing once you get down there. Several years ago hiking on the sliding sands trail,a passing shower created a rainbow which appeared just out of reach ahead,in amung the twisted lava forms. It was almost like walking in a dream. The area,which I often think of as the gargoyles garden,has a number of twisted, surreal shapes and seeing them appearing in and out of the light misty rain, with the rainbow directly over the trail ahead was quite an experience. Then after about 5 or 6 minutes the rain vanished with the bright sunlight and it was a totally different landscape.
I would definitely agree if you have the opportunity to hike down into Haleakala, by all means do so. It is an experience not to be missed.

Dear Editor...
Reference the picture and caption on page 44/45, "...(here a trail through cinder cones, remnants of a lava flow)."
I beg to disagree with the author, caption writer, or editor who wrote that description.
Although some cinder cones may be discerned in the distance, the rocks in the foreground (a trail through cinder cones) is really a trail through large pieces of scoria. The trail itself consists of small pieces of scori that have eroded off the larter pieces. Scoria forms when gaseous lava cools rapidly, either by ejection, or by gaseous frothy liquid lava cooling on the surface of a lava flow. Probably the latter in this instance.

Thank you for highlighting this beautiful mystic wonder of our earth. I certainly agree with Ms.Dokes about the Hawaiian culture.
I remember going to Halekela in the 70's and being so disappointed that I missed the sunrise by about 15 minutes; but I took some astonishing photos with a red filter and they were pretty good.
I feel so fortunate that I had the opportunity to visit back in day before big resorts took over the island.

The historic trail into the crater is now the subject of litigation. Mr. Perrottet mentions Worth Aiken who ran a guide service for tourists. Tourists were guided to the crater rim via the historic Haleakala Trail -- a trail that the Kingdom of Hawaii and the Territory of Hawaii maintined.

Aloha from Nashville, TN
I traveled on a tour to Hawaii April, 2011. Haleakala was one of our many stops. Truly a wonderful place. I learned a lot about Hawaii and Hawaiian culture for a mainlander. Hawaii is like another world. I love the fact that it is part of our United States.
Without question, Haleakala should be given back to the true Hawaiians. The true land dwellers that originally owned it with help from our Park Service Rangers as a means of funding. Hawaiian culture should also be taught in the schools just as much as Native Americans have the right to learn about their ancestors and their tribes. Hawaiians should be seen as a individual entity just like Native Americans. Hawaiians are Native Americans too. They have a right to their culture, dances and language. All of which are fascinating. I don't know enough about North American Indians I wish I did. I got a chance to sip at the Hawaiian Culture and loved every bit of it. They have a wonderful fulfilling culture. I learned the real meaning of Aloha, it is not a word, it is a lifestyle. An attitude of living in the Hawaiian Islands and the world. Aloha to you all.

I hiked Haleakula twice in the 1970s, descending out the other side and down to Kalpo Gap. We slept in a horse stable our first time through. Camped in our tent the second. I remember those cabins very well. So excited to learn that CCC boys built them. I've written about them here in WA State, including a novel, TREE SOLDIER. I'll have to check other projects out in Hawaii.

Hi all,
I have recently started to read about all the great things that GTD could offer to make me more organized.
When reading about outlook implementation and looking on the great seminar about it i have started to use tasks more frequently.
I have tried to drag mails with right mouse button to tasks - This is the best way according to me. But it is very difficult to trace the emails later on when the tasks is checked as completed. Is there a way of doing this more efficent?
I also have tried to make a copy of the mail in the tasks and save the mail in the @Action support folder - This is causing finished tasks (mailcopy) to be stored in the @action support folder and confuse the organisation. Is there any way to solve this in a more efficent way?
Please share your great knowledge.

I love a good budino. Inside a harder shell there is a gooey inside that wets the plate when you start eating it. It is not really a pudding, or a soufflé, but something almost in-between. Budini have very little (if any) flour in them and seem to be made of air and softness due to the whisked egg whites that are folded in just before baking. On Good Friday at about 8 am I wanted to try to make a budino out of the new Guy Grossi cook book that my husband Mark had bought me. However it was made with cherries and almonds and as far as they were concerned, the cupboard was bare and all the shops were shut.
Having learnt from my mother to improvise (she is the queen of improvisation), I found some hazelnuts and some frozen raspberries left over from jam making and I set about making a raspberry budino. I started separating eggs and realised I was missing another key ingredient – cherry liqueur. So I looked in the pantry and found an old beer bottle filled with home made grappa. Clearly this budino was going to get made! Grappa is wonderful in most cakes – it gives them what I call a "Northern Italian" flavour (as well as a good dose of alcohol). Regular readers of this blog will know that I add grappa to crostoli as well as to ricotta cake. I also have it in my coffee on weekends (caffe coretto – or "corrected" coffee). Grappa is something that I can't do without!
Mark and I had this budino with a caffe' corretto for lunch on the Saturday before Easter – it was a great way to ease through the rest of the day!
Budino di lamponi e nocciole con grappa
Preheat the open to 170 degrees
30g butter melted
1/2 – 2/3 cup ground hazelnuts
4 large eggs separated
1 cup sifter icing sugar
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grappa
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
500g raspberries (if you are using frozen raspberries, thaw them before using)
Flaked hazelnuts and icing sugar to serve
Grease and line the base and sides of a 22cm cake time with a removable base.
Press the ground hazelnuts onto the cake base so that it is evenly covered. This will form the base of your budino.Place the egg yolks and icing sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until creamy and frothy (takes about 10 minutes on medium to high speed). Add the melted butter, vanilla, grappa and bread crumbs then beat for another 2 minutes. Whisk the egg whites separately until hard peaks form.
Fold the egg whites through the mixture gently, about one quarter at a time until it is well incorporated. Pour into the prepared tin. gentle place the raspberries on the top of the cake mixture so that they are evenly spread. They will sink into the batter as the budino cooks.Cook for 40 minutes (I have a fan forced oven) and then check the cake. It should be firm but wobble a bit when you gently shake the tin. Let it cool in the tin. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with flaked hazelnuts before serving. Eat warm or cold (I prefer cold). It is so moist that it does not need cream/mascarpone, though you could serve the budino with either of these if you like.

The true-life story of a coach who tries to teach his players that there's more to life than basketball is brought to the screen in this sports drama. Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) was once a star player on the Richmond High School basketball team in Richmond, CA, and years later, after establishing himself in publishing and marketing, he returns to the school and to the team as the new basketball coach. Carter quickly sees that his work is cut out for him -- the team is having an awful season, and their fights off the court are more decisive than their play on the court. While Carter wants to make the Richmond cagers into a winning team, he also wants a lot more -- to teach the boys to respect themselves and one another, and that they must excel in the classroom as well as in the gymnasium. Under Carter's guidance, the team turns their losing season around, with the state title a genuine possibility. However, when Carter learns that a number of his players have let their grade point averages slip below 2.3, as mandated in a contract he entered into with the students, he decides to lock the team out of the gym and send them into study hall until their marks improve. Carter's plan quickly becomes a subject of controversy among parents and team boosters, and their objections are soon picked up by the local news media, many of whom are not sympathetic to Carter's belief that his players must have goals beyond college ball or the NBA. Coach Carter also features Rob Brown and Rick Gonzalez as members of the team, and R&B diva Ashanti in her film debut as the girlfriend of one of Carter's players. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A bunch of college students are stranded in a small town where suffering for art takes on a whole new meaning in this tale of terror. Carly (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki), have hit the road with a handful of their friends to attend a championship college football game; tagging along with them are Carly's bratty friend Paige (Paris Hilton, Carly's trouble-making twin brother Nick (Chad Michael Murray), and Blake (Robert Ri'chard), Paige's latest boy toy. While camping out for the night, the gang makes the mistake of getting on the wrong side of a mysterious local redneck, and the next morning they discover that Wade's car no longer works. As the others continue on to the big game, Carly and Wade make their way into the closest town, Ambrose, and discover it's all but deserted, except for a local tourist attraction, the House of Wax. However, it isn't long before they find out why the wax sculptures at the museum look so freakishly real, and discover a pair of murderous brothers are keen on making them part of the next exhibit. House of Wax is an in-name-only remake of the well-remembered 1953 3-D horror outing starring Vincent Price, which was in turn based on the 1933 picture Mystery of the Wax Museum. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Based on a story by Anne Rice, this made-for-cable miniseries explores the little-known phenomenon of the "Gens de Couleur Libres," or "Free People of Color," who lived in Louisiana at a time when slavery still held a stranglehold on much of the South. In 1822, it was not at all uncommon for attractive women of color to be retained as a "placage," a sort of "kept woman" who served the wishes of wealthy landowners, and after Philippe Ferronnaire (Peter Gallagher) enters into a loveless arranged marriage with Aglae (Jenny Levine) in order to curry the favor of her elderly (and very well-to-do) father Magloire Dazincourt (John Gilbert), he soon finds himself the father of two families -- one raised by Aglae, and another raised by his "placage" Cecile Ste. Marie (Gloria Reuben), a lovely bi-racial woman from Haiti. Philippe's son with Cecile, Marcel Ste. Marie (Robert Richard), is raised with the promise that, even though Philippe cannot officially acknowledge his parenthood, he will receive a first-class education in Europe, and Marcel finds himself travelling between the worlds of wealthy whites and economically disadvantaged Creoles in New Orleans. In time, Marcel falls in love with a girl of similar circumstances, Anna Bella (Bianca Lawson), but as fate would have it, her guardian, Elsie Claviere (Ruby Dee), has already arranged for the girl to enter into a "placage" with Vincent Dazincourt (Alec McClure), who happens to be Philippe's brother-in-law. Directed by Peter Medak, Feast of All Saints also features Ben Vereen and Ossie Davis. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Joel Grey returns as eager, willing but woefully inexperienced angel Ronald, who aspires to bring hope into the life of teenager Alex Wilson (Robert Ri'chard), currently incarcerated for fatally shooting former jazz musician Henry Baldwin (Bill Cobbs) during a botched robbery. Making the youth's plight all the more painful is the fact that Henry had been his mentor and role model, and now Alex feels betrayed--not only by Henry, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but by the whole world. Visiting the juvenile detention center where Alex is being temporarily held, Ronald and Monica (Roma Downey) try to help the youngster via the roundabout method of organizing a singing group comprised of Alex's fellow inmates--played by the members of the real-life singing aggregation Plus One (Nate Cole, Gabe Combs, Jeremy Mhire, Jason Perry and Nathan Walters. Songs: "When Your Spirit Gets Weak" and "The Promise". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

SOURCE DC Stop Modern Slavery
WASHINGTON, Oct 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While the government shutdown has closed the doors to many government agencies, it is not stopping DC Stop Modern Slavery (DC SMS) from holding the 4th annual Stop Modern Slavery Walk now known as UNBOUND: A Walk Uniting the Movement to End Human Trafficking. The event, which can no longer be held on the National Mall due to the shutdown, will now be hosted by President Lincoln's Cottage on on Saturday October 5, 2013 at 10 a.m .
President Lincoln's Cottage is a National Monument and site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a privately owned and operated non-profit organization. Because it is privately funded, President Lincoln's Cottage will be operating despite the shutdown. The National Trust for Historic Preservation stewards President Lincoln's Cottage for the public benefit on behalf of the Armed Forces Retirement Home. President Lincoln's Cottage is the only National Monument in the country that receives no federal operating support. Because it is privately funded, President Lincoln's Cottage is able to continue operations during the federal government shut down. The Armed Forces Retirement Home is not affiliated with this event.
Even with the venue change, UNBOUND's event will include the same lineup of speakers, musicians, and bands including Martina Vandenberg, founder and president of The Human Trafficking pro-bono Legal Center, as the keynote speaker. Another guest is SoulCry Foundation, a dance troupe whose performances tell the stories of trafficked survivors. Additionally, UNBOUND will feature a resource fair with more than 25 exhibitors where people can learn more about this issue and how they can get involved in the anti-trafficking movement..
UNBOUND aims to unite the anti-trafficking movement while raising critical awareness and funds for anti-trafficking programs. UNBOUND hopes to build upon the success of last year's event, which raised nearly $100,000 for 15 anti-slavery organizations and brought out more than 2,000 supporters. Since we began this tradition in 2009, DC SMS has helped raise more than$325,000 for the cause and registered over 6,500 attendees.
All financial proceeds of UNBOUND will be used by 10 anti-trafficking organizations that provide direct services for survivors of slavery, including rescue, rehabilitation, shelter, aftercare, as well as organizations that spread awareness and provide training. This year's beneficiary lineup includes:
Innocents at Risk, Polaris Project, Safe House of Hope, Global Centurion, Restoration Ministries, Shared Hope International, Courtney's House, Bridge to Freedom Foundation, Women at Risk, and Seraphim Global.
UNBOUND is organized by DC SMS volunteers. DC SMS began in 2004 as a small group of concerned citizens and has grown into an action-oriented group of volunteers with more than 1,400 members devoted to ending modern-day slavery. For more information on the event, or to register/donate please visit www.unbounddc.org.

Sentencing Delayed for Former Salvadoran Officer With Alleged Ties to Murder of PriestsThe National Law Journal 2013-01-17 15:46:49.0 A Boston federal judge delayed sentencing a former El Salvadoran military officer for immigration and perjury offenses because he wants further briefing on allegations about the officer's link to the 1989 killing of six Jesuit priests. Judge Douglas Woodlock of the District of Massachusetts made the determination in a January 15 sentencing hearing for Inocente Orlando Montano. Last September, Montano pleaded guilty to three counts of immigration fraud and three counts of perjury. Montano lied about the date he entered the United States on immigration forms he filled out in 2007, 2008 and 2010 in order to stay in the country. He received so-called temporary protected status, which the U.S. government offers to foreign nationals who cannot safely return to their home country because of certain conditions. Woodlock also asked the government to brief him on the issues raised by a U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit case from 1992 that vacated a sentence because of a prosecutor's recommendation for a stiffer sentence than the plea agreement. He made no ruling on the government's recommended 51-month sentence. In its sentencing memorandum, the government asked for a significant bump over the guidelines because of "the defendant's lengthy history as an officer in the Salvadoran military who commanded troops and security forces that engaged in widespread violations of human rights." Woodlock said the guidelines sentencing range for the immigration and perjury offenses was 15 months to 21 months and one to three years of supervised release. During the hearing, Woodlock denied Montano's objections to sentencing calculations that considered each false statement on an immigration form as a separate count of perjury and a false statement on an immigration application. Then he moved on to a discussion about whether Montano's other alleged crimes should factor into his sentence. The government's announcement of the plea deal noted that reports published in the early 1990s indicate that troops directly under Montano's command committed various human rights atrocities during El Salvador's civil war from 1979 through 1991. These crimes included torture, arbitrary detention, killings and disappearances. An expert report authored by Terry Lynn Karl, a Stanford University Latin American studies professor, details Montano's career and his alleged role in the Jesuit massacre. The report claims that Montano was in the military's ruling "inner circle" during a time when its members committed "widespread human rights abuses." Montano was an officer in El Salvador's military for 30 years, including that period, and was El Salvador's vice-minister for public security from 1989 to 1992. He retired from the military in 1994. Karl also claimed Montano was involved in the conspiracy behind the 1989 killing of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter. Woodlock ordered Montano to respond by March 1 to Karl's report. "Irrespective of what the government agreed to or didn't agree to … the allegations concerning Mr. Montano's activities with the military are matters that would cause me to consider an upward departure or variance," Woodlock said. Woodlock added that he considers Karl's affidavit "evidence that the defendant is free to rebut or not as he sees fit." In addition, Woodlock said he'd consider letters he received by the human rights organization the Center for Justice and Accountability evidentiary "if the government presses me." "We're not seeking to prove the substantive charges he may have faced in Salvador -- just that he was seeking to come here to avoid prosecution," said Assistant U.S. Attorney John Capin. Montano's lawyer, Oscar Cruz Jr., an assistant federal defender in Boston, said the individuals who sent the letters "are not quote unquote the victims" of the immigration offense. Woodlock also gave the government until March 1 to address issues raised by the First Circuit case, U.S. v. Canada, cited in Montano's filing, which involved a prosecutor's "implied repudiation of the government's bargain." Montano's January 14 response to the government's sentencing memorandum stated that the government's submission of "highly inflammatory information," including the Karl report, violates the plea agreement. Woodlock said he sees a problem with the Canada case's suggestion that the government "must stand mute" on its plea recommendation even if facts and circumstances arise out of the presentencing report or the judge's inquiry that would support a different sentence. Woodlock also ordered the parties to brief him on two other issues. One is the significance he should give the defendant's efforts to seek a Salvadoran passport during the proceedings. The other is whether the government intends to honor a pending extradition request by Spain for the defendant during his incarceration. |

XM brings satellite radio Direct 2 you
With a few honorable exceptions, car stereo manufacturers are reluctant to build satellite radio tuners into their products, preferring instead to flog you clunky--and expensive--proprietary add-on modules to go with your XM or Sirius subscription.
Perhaps realizing that this model wasn't in the interests of increased adoption of its service, XM has just released the Audiovox XM Direct 2, a (relatively) streamlined, universal adapter that works with nearly all satellite-ready car stereos, irrespective of their manufacturers. In addition to its car compatibility, the device can also be plugged into XM-ready home audio products and XM2go portable radios. According to … Read more

text: Hello, recently I purchased, on Ebay, a 3 CD set of Beatles songs that have had the vocals removed and are totally instrumental . It is not a set of songs done by cover bands, it is the actual Beatles recordings from their albums !! They are awesome !! I contacted the seller and asked him where he got it from. It is professionally done and does not appear to be a bootleg. There is no information on the Cd's or the cover in regards to a manufacturer or publisher or anything ! Anyway, the seller emailed me back and informed me that he thought the songs were from the Beatles Rock Band game... I checked, and, sure enough, all the songs on the Cd's are in the game. Anyways, I am wondering, has anybody heard of this set and, more importantly, will there be another "CD set" released for Beatles Rock Band 2 ? The set I have has about 63 songs on the 3 Cd set... I see that there is, or will be, a Beatles Rock Band 2 game available and the song list of 50 songs is awesome. I am extremely interested in getting the second Cd set if and when it is available... I sure would like to get some information on this and any help will be greatly appreciated. If you can direct me in the right direction if you do not know what I am talking about. Thank you all for any help, have a great day and God Bless, Robert

One of these days I decided that, gee it would be nice to stream Netflix like the rest of the civilized world.
And sooo, my DSL is provided by Verizon, set to 1mbps and gives 1.4 in reality, which is not enough for streaming. After a quick phone call to Verizon I found out that FIOS (15mbps) is not available in Brooklyn. DSL spd is also limited to 1.5mbps. Gee Viz.
Optimum Online offers 15mbps with some sort of booster for $29.95 fist year and then it goes up to $50.
What's your experience with cable broadband providers? Is it really 15mbps or is it 2mbps and 15mbps at 5 in the morning then nobody is on? Any horror stories, comments?

Everybody gets stressed from time to time. Different people feel stress in different ways. Some ways of dealing with stress — like screaming, hitting someone, or punching a wall — don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can start you on the road to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these five steps the next time you are stressed:
These five steps aren't magic — and you might have to do some steps more than once, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. Ah . . . it feels so good when the stress is gone!

Some REALTORS® conceived 2012 as "The Year of Volume Transactions" because lower home prices created the need to increase transactions to keep up with personal career goals while maintaining life styles and income. In actuality, 2012 has quickly become "The Year of the Professional."
We're in an environment where REALTORS® celebrate authentic, professional standards, and embrace all markets as a visionaries. They can stand back and understand the big picture, while in turn, offering excellent client service with integrity.
For example, in states such as Arizona where I currently practice, many REALTORS® have shifted their business dramatically and quickly from the dwindling REO niche back to buyers and sellers. REALTORS® are going back to basics, which should have never been ignored if they planned on making real estate a long term career. "The basics" encompass key fundamental characteristics that never ever disappear and easily transcend time. The basics include the utmost professional attention to each and every client's needs, appreciating every phone call as the gateway to referrals because of the agent's attention to detail, and, more importantly, having the ability to be fully present and aware of the intentions, desires, and needs of every individual who comes to you, as an agent, for your real estate expertise.
Today's market is diverse and includes first-time home buyers, the tech-savvy newest generation, the growing and underserved Hispanic community, investors, second home buyers, and sellers in a hardship situation. To be able to serve this new and diverse clientele effectively as a professional, you must be able to adapt the basics into your business plan and into your soul.
There is no more sitting back and waiting for the bank to assign you that distressed property, because you will not survive — Continue reading »

Italy is renowned for its wealth of fruits and vegetables. One such vegetable is Asparagus. The Consorzio Asparago Piacentino has been actively promoting the healthy attributes of this elegant vegetable with the tagline – a Sana Tentazione or a healthy craving.
According to materials from the Consortium, Asparagus are famous for its characteristic as an antidepressant, as an antioxidant and for its high level of fiber. Additionally it has a variety of amino acids that can be considered a diurectic.
In promoting Italian products, consortium countrywide are now referring to the length of the chain between suppliers and consumers. The shorter the better is the idea. Additionally, food producers are once again promoting the idea of eating fruits and vegetables in season and the use of few chemicals.
This asparagus consortium is located in Northern Italy in the province of Lombardy but there are numerous consortium throughout the country. Piacenza is a town that most people associate with salami and other charcuterie products as well as the delicious but not dietic gnoccho fritto.
Whether eating gnoccho fritto with charcuterie or tasting the delicious asparagus from these parts, this lower part of Lombardy has some interesting food and wine traditions.

There are lots of news reports and internet musings about Quantitative Easing. I've read many with the hope of discovering one comprehensible article that would fairly represent QE for the non-fiscal, non-monetary schooled citizen. Not to be. The explanations are either way over my head or focused on attacking or defending the policy. People seem to use many exotic terms to describe an already abstract subject.
So I'm going to take a swag at explaining what and why.
The Fed chairman, Ben Bernanke has been fearful of the country falling into another depression since the bubble burst in 2008. He's made plain that the bogeyman we have to fear is deflation, not inflation. Simply put, inflation is too much money chasing scarce goods. Inflation causes prices to rise. Deflation on the other hand is an abundance of goods and not enough money, or at least not enough buyers. Deflation causes prices to fall.
A recession brings a lot economic distress: job losses, company failures, personal bankruptcies….its ugly. But a depression, that's an event that changes lives, economies and even governments, sometimes permanently.
The clear similarity between 1929 and 2008/2009 is that in both cases, a massive amount of capital disappeared. Money invested in almost anything (except long term treasury bonds) just disappeared. When money in investments and the value of owned assets disappears people won't or can't go out and buy things. Then more jobs disappear because employers know people aren't spending as much money so they reduce expenses by laying off workers. Fewer jobs equal fewer paychecks and there is even less available money around. As you can see this becomes a really ugly self-perpetuating down spiral.
The 1929 depression saw the collapse of the stock market erase the supply of capitol. In 2008/2009 the wealth disappeared from home equity first and then the stock and bond market followed. Again, as in 1929 and the 1930′s, wealth just melted away. Homes purchased in 2000 for $300,000 escalated to $500,000 in 2005 then fell to $200,000 by 2010. This happened millions of times. Almost all the homes had mortgages, many owners had refinanced and taken money out for home improvements and vacations. By 2010 the inflated value was gone. Owners owed more than the possible selling price of the house. A vast amount of capital was taken out of the American economy. Whatever the details, 80 years ago or today, a huge amount of wealth ceased to exist.
Bernanke is using QE to replace the private capital that had been lost in the recession. To do this the Fed is using new money to buy mortgage backed securities (MBS) from banks so that the banks, in turn, make more loans. In other words replacing money which had disappeared and getting it back into the economy.
You might say that this is nice for the banks that are getting premium prices for otherwise unwanted securities, but has this worked to help the little guy? The answer is no, not directly. However, good things have happened to reverse some of the losses from the recession, For example: (1) The stock market is within hailing distance of its 2007 high, thus replacing a fair measure of the capital that was lost in the recession. (2) Unemployment has improved slightly. Not that much, but its better than it was two years ago. (3) New housing is showing some signs of life. Again its not a great recovery, but there is improvement. Along with that will come housing prices which will rise and replace a lot of lost wealth.
The arguments against QE mostly have to do with it reducing interest rates for savers and opening the door to inflation. The inflation argument is pretty weak right now since its very unusual to see high unemployment and high inflation at the same time. Later, when employment improves we hope the Fed stays ahead of the curve. Low interest rates for savers also means low interest rates for home buyers, so that's a mixed blessing. Savers must take on more risk since bank interest rates won't even keep pace with low inflation numbers.

School rocked by death of bus stab victim
1:43pm Thursday 7th March 2013 in Local
STAFF and students at Leasowes High School in Halesowen have been left in shock at the death of pupil Christina Edkins who was stabbed to death on a bus this morning (Thursday).
The 16-year-old was attacked on the number 9 at 7.37am as it made its way along Hagley Road, Birmingham.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said the schoolgirl's family are being supported by family liaison officers.
Neil Shaw, headteacher at Leasowes, said staff and students at the school have been left "deeply saddened" by the tragedy.
He said: "Christina was a bright and popular student much loved by staff and students alike. Our thoughts and hearts go out to her family and everyone who knew her.
"The school is working closely with the police and a team of counsellors to provide support to our pupils and staff."
A 22-year-old man has now been arrested following a massive manhunt in Birmingham.
Police spotted a man acting suspiciously and after a footchase he was arrested near Morrisons supermarket and is now being held on suspicion of murder.
Detectives from the force's Criminal Investigation Department are continuing to work alongside specialist Forensic Scene Investigators at the scene to identify CCTV systems which may have captured the incident on camera.
Detective Superintendent Richard Baker from Force CID said: "This is a tragic case and the victim's family are devastated.
"We are still anxious to hear from anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident this morning to speak to us via the dedicated hotline 0800 096 0095.
"There will be a high police presence across the city this afternoon following this morning's tragedy particularly on buses and in schools in the area to provide reassurance to local people."
Anyone with information can also call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

"India's rate of economic growth is likely to rise while China's slows," the authors found. China's 8%-10% growth "will probably be a distant memory by 2030," it notes. And India's economic advantage over regional nuclear rival Pakistan is likely to grow, roughly doubling the comparative size of its economy.

Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on Obama
58 posts

Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaI never thought I would have to write something like this. For years, I have always supported Ali Sina and his criticism on Islam. In fact, it was probably because of him that I was able to see Islam for what it was, and avoid becoming a Muslim myself (which at the time was certainly possible). As a result I do feel that I owe him much more than I can offer, so in one way this post here is inappropriate. On the other hand, I do feel that if Sina does continue his rhetoric against Obama, he would find himself losing more and more support, until finally, when Obama leaves office and turns out to be nothing more than another president, he would have lost his remaining credibility. This would be devastating to many anti-Islamists, while Islamists would see this as a victory. So, Ali Sina, don't see this as an attack. On the contrary, I consider myself doing you a favor.
I am going to analyze Ali Sina's article "Obama:The Mark of Human Stupidity", which I feel has gone too far. It can be found here: http://www.faithfreedom.org/islam/obama ... -stupidity
Not true. On the contrary, the Persian broadcast of VOA was alive and well during the first phases of the fraudulent elections in Iran: http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/a- ... 26507.html and its still active now: http://www1.voanews.com/persian/news/
Hypotheticals are useless in trying to prove a matter. She could have been poisoned with mercury, and she also could have been killed by a random gamma ray burst from a star some light years away. You must know that Obama visited his grandmother on the 21st of October in 2008: http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2008 ... andmaoct21 Keep in mind that she wasn't "recovering". The 85-year-old was in fact "gravely ill"with cancer, and was described to be in "serious condition". He didn't visit her to poison her. He visited her because it would probably be the last time he would see her. She died on November 3rd: http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2008 ... lyn-dunham The delay it took the "poison" to succumb her (mercury can kill a human in a matter of hours or days) as well as the fact that there has been silence in relation to this issue proves that there was no poison at all. You, Ali Sina, made that up.
They often say that at the most critical occasions, the nuts come out of the woodwork. This is no different. Obviously Larry Sinclair, like Anita Hill, is merely an attention seeker. This can be proven by the fact that he failed a polygraph test in this regard: http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/larry- ... amas-lover He did, however, passed the drug accusations portion. But this isn't significant. Obama has already admitted this before. So, why should we believe Sinclair about Donald Young.
You said yourself that inside each of us there is a narcissist. But you are right, Obama is a far greater narcissist than any of us. It's true, and the same goes for most politicians on Capitol Hill. The sheer ego that is necessary to deal with the stress, pressure, and responsibility in the federal government requires such an high view of oneself. JFK even once commented that "to be president, one has to look into the mirror, and tell himself that there is no one more suited for the job than himself, and believe it"
Like I said before, Obama did not cut funding. If anything, the only reason he did not say anything (until the crackdown by the Iranian government, which he condemned) is because he felt doing so would allow the regime to pin the protests on the West, which would delegitimize the protests. Take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhnh8TyC ... re=related
This sounds like fearmongering to me. I don't think I need to say much, other than that this scenario is unlikely to happen. If the US doesn't respond, most likely Israel will, but keep in mind that there likelihood of this scenario is incredibily low. What it seems you are trying to do here is that you know better because you used to belong to a cult and no longer, and that we don't understand any better, despite common sense to the contrary. Its not likely that every person who disagrees with you is a cultist. Personally, I disagree with Obama on a number of issues, and agree with him on other issues. Does that make me a cultist? For seeing the shades of gray?
Carter was naive rather than stupid. But this whole mess did not start with Carter. It started with Eisenhower. It started with Operation Ajax. It started when the US overthrew a democratically elected government and replaced it with a dictatorial Shahist government. But we had suffered worse presidents. Martin Van Buren ignored the extermination of the Mormons ocurring in Missouri, just so that he might get its electoral vote. Andrew Jackson completely ignored a Supreme Court ruling, violated constitutional law, and sent thousands of Cherokees to their deaths. John Adams passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, which stifled free speech. Wilson passed a similar bill. Buchanan and Filmore, with their unprecedented incompetence, are easily ranked as some of the worst presidents in American history. Then of course there are the criminals, such as Richard Nixon, whose crimes are probably so well known that there is no need to list them Go ahead. Tell me I am a cultist. Tell me I am delusional. Tell me all the facts I cited are wrong. Tell me that my common sense has left me. The truth is, common sense has left you. Come back to reality, Ali Sina. As they say, "The Truth Shall Set You Free"
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaHello Locke,
Welcome. Were you active at answering-ffi? Anyway, Ali Sina is no prophet and can prove to be wrong as anyone else. In fact, on this issue I do hope that he is proved wrong by time. Islam is a funny religion which is misunderstood by its scholars and correctly understood by ordinary Muslims.
Faith is keeping your eyes shut when looking at the world, and/or keeping your eyes open only for the beauty of the world.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaDear Locke,
How are you going to refute Ali's argument? If Obama is exposed , impeached and tried for treason sure we have to agree with Ali. If he survives the assault that is also proof positive that he is a crook and smart narcissist operative. If Obama becomes one term failed president, then also Ali can take credit like' I told you so.' People found out who he is and rejected him. If Obama becomes popular and rules for two terms that is also the proof that Narcissits Obama has fooled Americans but history will expose him after he leaves office. Ali is not telling us why Obam is following many Bush policies . He has not reduced troop level in Iraq.He has not closed down Gitmo and he is for surge in nAfghanistan. May be that is also proof positive of opprtunism of narcissist guy. They are good at camofledging, double dealing. See I can explain everything fro Ali's point of view. Id.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaYes, it is me, charlesmartel. Personally I wish we can go back to those good ol' days, when we were beating up on those guys like "rimon" and "Interested" left and right. Oh well. Im guessing the forum isn't up and running anymore
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on Obama
Yes. I miss those days: so many Muslims to argue with How are you doing these days? Were you active on some other forum? Islam is a funny religion which is misunderstood by its scholars and correctly understood by ordinary Muslims.

Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaMeh, nothing much. I have been focusing much more on schoolwork, and put Islam on the back-burner. How have you been?
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaHello Locke840
You write:
You cannot have a rational argument based on historical references with Ali Sina. He is simply not intellectually equipped for the task. I doubt whether AS has ever heard of Buchanan or Filmore. What I do find interesting is that AS sees Obama as a narcissistic cult leader like Adolph Hitler but AS never refers to the institutional checks and balances that act as a counterweight to abusive executive power in the USA. For AS there is the evil devious charismatic leader who hoodwinks the masses. That's all. Ali Sina is a philistine when it comes to the history of the US Constitution, of political institutions and indeed of the history of political thought in the West. All he is capable of is rants against 'liberals'. So I suggest that you don't waste your time my friend.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on Obama
Anyone seeing things in 'shades of gray' is a worshiping cultist, or worst a liberal, according to Mr. Sina and Ann Coulter. Authority has the same etymological root as authenticity.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaAli blames Carter and democrats for causing shah's downfall and rise of Khomini and Mullahcracy in Iran.
Then it was small step in implicating Obama, being extension of everything evil gaining control of american establishment to destroy america and the whole world. As simple as that. All Iranians blame Brits & America for all their ills since the days of coup which deposed Mossdegh. Its Irano centric view.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaI forgot to go and drink some Obama kool aid
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaI don't see the point of this thread.
Locke is an old friend from the times before I appeared at FFI. His angst about something on which he differs with Ali Sina is fully understandable; Ali Sina has been an inspiration for many of us wrt Islam, and many of us have been inspired by him. As far as I know he has not claimed any prophethood or any infallibility for himself. He claims to be an ex-Muslim and I haven't seen him losing any debate on Islam against anyone. Recently he has started talking about Obama. So what? Is he not free to hold his own opinion about the man? Many of you disagree with him about the great Obama, big deal!! May be he would prove to be wrong in his assessment of Obama, so what? Is he a prophet who is not supposed to be proven wrong? Is it really his fault that after we initially got impressed by him wrt Islam, we think that he must not fail? "Ali Sina" is not his real name, but it is a symbol for fight against Islam. I don't see how his argument about aliens or Obama, even if wrong, discredit his arguments against Islam. I can see and understand where Locke is coming from. But I can't see where the old timers are coming from. Is it some sort of personal issue? Islam is a funny religion which is misunderstood by its scholars and correctly understood by ordinary Muslims.
Faith is keeping your eyes shut when looking at the world, and/or keeping your eyes open only for the beauty of the world.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on Obama
I've read many of Ali's comments over the years and I think it's extremely likely he suffers from PPD (Paranoid Personality Disorder). PPD is characterized by at least 3 of the following: 1.excessive sensitivity to setbacks and rebuffs; 2.tendency to bear grudges persistently, i.e. refusal to forgive insults and injuries or slights; 3.suspiciousness and a pervasive tendency to distort experience by misconstruing the neutral or friendly actions of others as hostile or contemptuous; 4.a combative and tenacious sense of personal rights out of keeping with the actual situation; 5.recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding sexual fidelity of spouse or sexual partner; 6.tendency to experience excessive self-importance, manifest in a persistent self-referential attitude; 7.preoccupation with unsubstantiated "conspiratorial" explanations of events both immediate to the patient and in the world at large. However, this alone does not explain Ali's obsessive disdain of Obama. One possible explanation could come from the many studies that have linked homophobia with homosexual arousal in an effort to confirm the belief that most homophobic men have repressed homosexual desires. The conclusions of these studies are strongly validated by the seemingly endless list of prominent homophobes that have been caught engaging in homosexual acts. Ali's homophobia is well known to veteran FFI members so it's very possible that his feelings towards Obama are being intensified by an internal struggle to repress homosexual desires. They say love/lust is a form of temporary insanity. Well, Ali thinks; Obama is very stupid man (Juris Doctor (J.D.), magna cum laude-Harvard Law School), a granny serial killer, a homosexual (wishful thinking perhaps?), assassination would be too good for him (miaow!), and that he should be pilloried instead (Marquis de Sade would be proud). Ali's record of bizarre statements about Obama is very long but I think I've made my point. Because his credibility is so important to FFI, he should be kept in a padded cybercell and only allowed to speak about Islam. It is not logical to believe that the same God who has allegedly endowed us with sense, reasons, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on ObamaAli Sina has committed the ultimate "unforgivable" sin, He criticized the Messiah Obama himself
How dear you Ali ? He is our Holy Prophet, We worship him and kiss the ground he walks on. And you have the "nerve" to speak against him ? off with your head... All Joking aside some of these idiot leftist are about as stupid as the most radical Muslims who cannot tolerate anyone having a different opinion from themselves. Hail Obama we worship thee oh great one The Kool-Aid is wearing off fast across the country though, OH. NO. Hurry more kool-Aid, fast

Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on Obama
Shah was victim of his own making. The Shah was autocratic ruler installed by the US government. If he had tolerated the dissent and listened to the people, the Pahlevis would be still sitting on the Peacock throne. Americans are equally to be blamed for the takeover of Iran by Khomeini's hordes. It is Americans who could not accept democratically elected government of Mossadegh. What they got is far worse.
Obama has been elected in a fair democratic election. He will be out of office in 2012 if people think that he is not good for the USA. If he is re-elected, he will out of office in 2016 permanently. There is no need to belly ache about him. He is not a dictator. It is evil for Ali Sina to accuse Obama of killing his grandmother.
Iranians are right. It is Americans who destroyed democracy in Iran. USA is paying a very high price for that. वासुदेव कुटुम्बकम्।

Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on Obama
Thats not how Ali views US elections. To him it was no ordinary election and no ordinary politician. People dont realise that this blunder of electing Obma can engulf whole world, perhapes as bad as planet earth sucked up by blcak hole. Ofcourse black hole analogy is mine. Meaning US and world wil never recover from giving power to maglo, narcissist, diabolic, hitlerian , Mohmmedian dictator. Damage done by him dwarfs in compariosion to any other UD president.

We like to belly ache, it makes us feel good, you know the left belly ached against Bush none stop, and I don't remember people being all worked up over it, its part of living in a democracy, you know ? people do that. when we have a king we will all bow down and worship him, until then a little bellying aching about our leaders is not all that bad, or something to worry about. now go drink your kool aid, and relax

I say both sides need coolaid whether they are chrsto conspiracy beliver or leftist loonies who all get bent out of shape because of change in US leadership. Better that coolid is from Jim Jones.
Re: Refuting Ali Sina's assertions on Obama
No Skenderbeg, Ali Sina hasn't criticized Obama. He has demonized him. He has writen here
There is a difference between rational criticism (see for example Planck's, Humanist's or even my own criticisms of Obama) and Ali Sina's attitude which is a form of pathological FASCINATION. Ali Sina is possessed by Obama. Why does this matter? Because Ali Sina is the man who brands FFI. FFI loses its credibility (or, in marketing terms, suffers from brand dilution) because of Ali Sina's obsessive fascination with Obama which sidetracks viewers from Islam. But I suppose there is a more comical side to all this. Listening to Britney Spears' views on Hegel's philosophy of history would be as amusing as reading Ali Sina's statements on the American political system.
