3) Hey Gypsy Boy
On this evening, Jimi and Billy Cox were again joined by percussionist Al Marks and drummer Rocky Isaac from the Washington D.C. based group The Cherry People. Al Marks details the events of that memorable evening.
EH: What happened at the April 24, 1969 session?
AM: We drove back Wednesday [April 23, 1969] and went to the Record Plant. We spoke to the receptionist and told him we were here to record with Jimi. He remembered us from the other night but informed us Jimi had not booked a session for that night. All of a sudden our jaws dropped. Mike Burke and [Washington Post critic] Richard Harrington looked at us and were complaining that we had driven all this way for nothing. Mike Burke agreed to stay, but Harrington left to take a train back to D.C. We had no place to stay so we asked if we could hang out at the studio. They let us in and we crashed on the floor of the studio. In the morning, we were awoken by Vinnie Bell and Tony Mottola from the Tonight Show band. Vinnie was the guy who invented the electric sitar. [Ed. Marks may have also solved another puzzling Hendrix historical question. On April 6, 1969 Jimi was recorded playing a Coral electric sitar at the Record Plant. It now seems apparent that he was given the instrument by Bell]. They were arriving to do session work for a movie soundtrack. These guys were in suits and we were a bunch of scraggly hippies in buckskin jackets.
Before we left that morning, Jimi called the studio to set up the session for that night. The studio told him we were there and he asked us to return that night at 9. Somehow we then lost Rocky. We couldn't locate him, so we ended up spending the day walking around the city. He showed up back at the studio around 7 p.m. looking refreshed. He asked us where we had been because Jimi had reserved a hotel room for us. We were stunned. Rocky had left a note for us but the guy at the Record Plant had forgotten to tell us. We all ran over to the hotel room Jimi had reserved for us and took quick showers. When we returned to the studio, Jimi and Rocky were going over the new songs he wanted to play.
The first number we did was "Bleeding Heart". We did about fifteen or sixteen takes and it seemed to work out fairly well. It was the same line-up as the previous session.
Jimi then wanted to try another song so Chris and I took the opportunity to switch instruments. My leg was so damn sore that I couldn't keep doing it anymore so I took over tambourine and Chris picked up the maracas. [Ed. Jimi made several attempts at "Hey Gypsy Boy", an uptempo new original song whose lyrics bore close similarity to what would later develop as "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)"].
Jimi then started to play "Crash Landing". There were no vocals at first. He was focusing on the track itself. This went really well and after ten or fifteen takes he asked everybody to leave the studio. I asked him if we were being thrown out and he explained that he would not allow anybody to be in the studio while he recorded vocals on a track. In the control room, Gary Kellgren told us that it was just an idiosyncrasy that Jimi had. Gary went out and constructed a booth around him. Jimi had a sheet with lyrics and he stood behind there and sang beautifully. We were bug eyed in the control room. Then, all of sudden, Punky Meadows, who had been sleeping in the back of the studio, woke up and started walking across the room. Jimi saw him and literally flipped out. He threw down the papers in his hand and yelled, 'What the f*** are you doing in the studio when I am doing vocals?' In the control room, Gary Kellgren put his hands to his head. Apparently, that was the worst thing anyone could do on a Hendrix session. He yelled to us, 'Get him out of there!' We hustled Punky out to the bathroom and Jimi regained his composure and started doing vocals again. When he finished, he walked in to the control room and said, 'Man, no one walks through that studio when I am doing vocals. Didn't Gary tell you that?' We explained that Punky had been asleep and we didn't know where he was. Jimi laughed. 'Punky? What kind of name is Punky?' Punky came out from hiding and they met. All Jimi kept asking him was what kind of name was Punky? It was funny.
At the end of the session, he thanked us and hoped that we would run into each other. We drove back to D.C. after that.
EH: Did you ever imagine that any of the music to which you contributed would be released?
AM: Years later I bought the Crash Landing album thinking it was us on the track but they had erased everything. I have been looking for some validation of this session for thirty years. Every time I would see "Room Full Of Mirrors" on a Jimi Hendrix album I would look to see if my name was on it. Then this year I got an advance of the new box set. I heard "Room Full Of Mirrors" and lo and behold it was it us. This is the song I played on! When I saw the credits, I was disappointed that no one seemed to know who the hell I was! It was great to talk to you about it. I am so grateful to know that this track is on the box set. I love Jimi and its an honor to be a part of something like this. I've been on a high since!

Juggy Sound, New York
Studio Recording
Record Plant, New York
Studio Recording
On this evening, Hendrix traveled to the Record Plant after mixing sessions at Juggy Sound had concluded. Upon his arrival, an informal jam session with Buddy Miles ensued. Two instrumental attempts at "Blue Suede Shoes" were put to tape. Later, Hendrix put forward an early version of what would become to "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)." Singing live and supported only by drums and percussion, Hendrix wove gorgeous touches of Spanish flamenco styling within the arrangement. An impish stab at Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues"—a favorite of the guitarist's when he was a teenager in Seattle—was followed by a funky original work reminiscent of "Day Tripper."
Soon thereafter Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell arrived. Buddy Miles departed and work began on "Freedom". This recording, issued on The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set, is dramatically different than the version now included as part of First Rays Of The New Rising Sun. Most notably, Jimi devised an inventive, extended introduction and, in contrast to his efforts the previous summer with Gypsys Sun & Rainbows, skillfully integrated the percussion effort of Juma Sultan.
March 23rd, 1970
Working alone, Jimi arrived at the Record Plant intent on realizing a more traditional Delta blues arrangement of "Midnight Lightning" than he had previously attempted. Singing and playing live as he sat on a chair, Jimi utilized a finger picking style he rarely incorporated on his recordings. The song's slow beat was accented, in the tradition of such blues men as Lightnin' Hopkins and John Lee Hooker, by the steady tapping of his foot on the floor.
One of his favorite blues themes, Jimi would later make several attempts to complete a group version with Cox and Mitchell that summer at Electric Lady. Sadly, his untimely death in September 1970 came before "Midnight Lightning" and many other scintillating works in progress could be completed.

|Kyle Busch earns chance for perfect weekend
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 26 February 2011 13:47
The Nationwide opener was a nail-biter, with Tony Stewart nipping Clint Bowyer by .007 seconds for the series' closest finish ever at Daytona. Busch had race No. 2 looking like a walkover until Edwards made several charges late, pulling beside him three times in the final 20 laps.
Busch never let him get around, though, leading a record 200 laps on the bumpy mile oval to become the first green-to-checkers Nationwide winner since Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Darlington in 2004.

Talk:Charles William Eliot
|WikiProject Biography
|(Rated B-class)
There is no way this text was not plagiarized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Well at least one of the paragraph's was directly lifted from "Documentary History of Philanthropy and Voluntarism in America" ©2003 Peter Dobkin Hall, which is hosted by a Harvard web site here: http://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/phall/03.%20Eliot-Education.pdf. Look at the section "FIGHTING THE WILDERNESS, PHYSICAL AND MORAL": CHARLES W. ELIOT AND THE EMERGENCE OF THE PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, which begins on p 14 of the pdf document.
Look particularly at the paragraph beginning:
"Although his methods were pragmatic ..."
I haven't done an extensive comparison of other parts of the article but it's pretty clear there was plagiarism at least here (and surrounding paragraphs). AnthroMimus (talk) 21:55, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Acadia national park[edit]
According to Ken Burns' documentary about the national park system, he noted that Eliot played a key role in the early movement for Acadia Nat'l Park after finding out about his late son's passion for the area. That should be researched and added. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 04:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
T.S. Eliot?[edit]
Any brothers or sisters? Where does T.S. Eliot fit in? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:02, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Eliot's contribution to sex education[edit]
Why no mention of this fact? I'm not schooled enough to absorb all the wikip rules on biographical material and have only learned the below from magazine/newspaper articles but do not have time to read the book(s) to provide the proper sort of references, so I am just posting this as a request rather than adding content on my own. (In short, I find the rules intimidating and I feel unqualified!)
The guy was a ground-breaker with regard to sex ed. "He believed it was so important he turned down Woodrow Wilson's offer of the ambassadorship to Britain to join the first national group devoted to promoting the subject." This is a report on content in Kristin Luker's book "When Sex Goes to School" as related in a NY Times Sunday magazine article 2011-11-20

Dec. 3 Exact Weather forecast: Mostly cloudy with slight rain chance
Updated On: Dec 03 2013 09:13:32 AM CST
Morning: Mostly cloudy and cool with a slight rain chance. Morning lows will drop into the upper 50s to low 60s. Fog is possible. Allow extra time in the morning and drive carefully!
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy with a slight rain chance. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s. Wind SW 10-15 mph.
END OF THE WEEK: High pressure moves to the east allowing a southerly flow and an increase in temps through Friday. Highs will climb into the low to mid 70s to even upper 70s. Rain chances begin to increase Thursday with a 40% chance, 60% chance Friday through the weekend. A cold front moves through Friday with colder weather moving into the area. The front will stall along the coast with an area of low pressure moving along that boundary. Rain chances will remain through the weekend with colder weather.
TROPICS: Hurricane Season 2013 ended Saturday, November 30th. The season was well below average and well below what was forecast. We ended up with 13 storms and 2 hurricanes. The 2 hurricanes were cat one with winds of 85 mph. The average is 12 storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 intense. We had no intense hurricanes this year. One hurricane hit the U.S., that was Andrea. Andrea caused heavy rain and some tornadoes as she moved up the East Coast. The hardest impact was on Mexico with storms that hit on both the West and East Coasts of Mexico.
Karen moved into the Gulf of Mexico, but did not make landfall. Karen was a perfect example of what happened this season. Dry air and wind shear tore Karen apart. We also had dry Saharan Dust move over the Atlantic which also prevented or diminished intensity. We ended the year the 6th least active since 1950 when considering the intensity of storms and duration of storms.
Typhoon Haiyan is a perfect example of how when ingredients come together, devastating typhoons or hurricanes can develop.
When considering seasonal hurricane forecast, we must remember it just takes one. If one hits you, it's a bad year.

Will using table sugar for the recommended pound addition to the extract kit be okay? Or will it produce an off taste?
I added 1 lb of table sugar to my beer and came out great. People do it all the time. Some even prime with it at bottling.
It's totally fine. Some Belgian styles have 20% of their fermentables from table sugar.
Awesome. Next question then, could I go ahead and add an extra 2 lbs instead of the recommended 1 lb to boost abv?
Short answer is yes you can. But if you go too high you could start to make it taste cidery. Like mentioned already a Belgian ales might be upwards of 20% of the frementables. But in an American pale ale you might not want to add more than 5-10%.
The other thing to think about is how high of a OG you want. If you start asking about how about 3lbs or 4 or 5.... then you might start running into other issues like yeast nutrients or too much alcohol for the yeast.
Without a recipe its hard to say.
It is going to be a nut brown ale extract kit. I was only thinking about the possibilitity of adding 2 lbs rather than 1 lb. But that was only an idea I was curious about, but I have no idea how it would effect it because I am still very new to brewing. I assume that as long as the yeast that I use can handle the extra abv then it should ferment it all out and not result in a sweeter version of the normal kit. Is this true?
Throw in some DME like a pound to keep from thinning the beer out and the extra DME will give you another .5 to .7%
*** Possum Trot Brewery ***Beer Primary - Butthead BelgianBeer Secondary - Belgian TripelBottled - Big Breakfast Stout - Belgian IPA - Butthead Belgian White - Redneck Red - Moose Drool - Dirty DubbelMead Primary - NuttinBottled - Strawberry Trainwreck - Orange Spice - Blueberry Trainwreck
Okay, I didn't think of DME. I didn't want to use LME because I have to buy 3.3 lbs at a time but the DME is a good idea, thanks!
There are a few brews I make that I add 1 lb of DME and .5 lb of table sugar just to up the ABV and they all turn out good.
As some will say and I agree if you thin the beer out with too much sugar you loose that mouth feel of the beer, it's well I guess thinner tasting. Almost watered down I guess you could say it simply loses it's flavor.
So I could add 1.5 lbs sugar and 1 lb DME? Kits calls for 1 lb sugar so it would be an extra 1 lb DME and extra 0.5 lb sugar and it should turn out okay?

Loved It!Well, after reading all the bad reviews, I thought I had made a mistake, but, I was wrong. It heats up within 10 minutes (the temperature here is 6 degrees and I curled my hair today), curls my hair into perfectly tight curls and, my hair do retain the curls for hours.

Can it be any worser?!The thing first of all, doesn't heat up. I let it be there like for half an hour and even then its surface is a little warm and nothing more. When I try curling my hair, my hair does curl. But it barely stays there. I check it after 5 mins and they are all gone! This is like the worst product ever! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!

Guest blogger: Jeremy Biggs, director of Pond Conservation
It may be a cool and damp spring, but my garden pond is looking splendid. Full of underwater plants, there's a dense mix of submerged mosses and stoneworts, a sure sign of clean water. So the pond is looking promising for animal life: what can we find with the pond net? I already know there will be plenty of frog tadpoles – at least 50 females spawned in our 2m diameter pond.
So, first dip – as well as the taddies, hundreds and hundred of pond snails. Mostly marsh snails, a few wandering snails, and four kinds of ram's-horn, including the tightly coiled contorted and whirlpool ram's-horn snails. Then fairly quickly I find flatworms, the spidery larvae of the common darter dragonfly, the zippy larvae of the pond olive mayfly.
Mayfly larva - Cloeon dipterum, copyright Pond Conservation
After 5 or 10 minutes I've got a pretty good idea of the commonest creatures in the pond. Now I'm taking a bit of time to find the true variety. In another five minutes I find the first cased caddis: they should be present in every good pond. There are quite a few different water beetles too, including a nice find for the garden: a screech beetle.
Water beetle - Agabusbipustulatus, copyright Pond Conservation
But the best and biggest comes last and it's taken 20 minutes to find: the 4 cm long larva of an emperor dragonfly. For those who like to keep score I've got to 42 out of 68 on the Big Pond Dip. The animals are telling me my pond is in good shape.

Nice article on Pond Dipping but was worried that no safety warnings were mentioned to children, especially as its Half Term
I have just dug a garden pond. Now full of water and plants added. Will it naturally fill with wildlife and bugs or do I have to buy them in? Not keeping any fish. Would prefer it to evolve naturally but willing to give a helping hand.
My granddaughters pond dipping in my very small garden pond this morning collected 15 newts (all now safely back in the pond) Would this number of newts be the reason there were no baby frogs? We had a lot of frogspawn but sadly quite a lot of it was frozen during the winter.
as a child years ago now it was come place to go newting in our local brickyard it was a huge pond which had crested and smooth newts in it. its nice seeing the kids out in nature like we used to do
I've got a plastic tray pond like on your show but mine is in my garden and mine is for frogs.
Can you please tell me how to make a frog home.
This spring has been very difficult for the frogs in my pond, they seemed to have awoken early, then got caught up in the cold icy spell we had during February and March. I have since found dead frogs in my flower beds and at least 7 dead at the bottom of the pond. It seemed that they entered the pond for spawning, then when they tried to leave, their temperatures dropped and they either drowned or dried up from the cold winds. I have a healthy stock of plump tadpoles and the newts seem unaffected, but why did I lose so many frogs this year? Yesterday I found a very under weight frog just sitting on a pond plant, I covered it with some pond weed to prevent it from drying out, today it is still alive, but I have to keep splashing it with water to keep it's skin moist. I have never seen such a thin frog, it seems lacking in energy, starved. Why have so many frogs died this year? I live in Wiltshire.
can any1 tell me why i had clear frogspawn with no eggs , last year none at all and i put it down to bad spring, year b4 counted 26 frogs only 7 this yr but newts fine and other wildlife
Hiya Don, I have heard of this happening a lot in the area I live. Clear frog spawn has been reported on our local news. I'm guessing the males were just not present when the female laid.
Newts seem unaffected in my pond too.....however I have noticed that once upon a time I had a glutten of snails, these seem to be empty shells, something else is eating them, and I have noticed a lack of insects. The cold spring has brought the frogs out of hibernation at irregular times and then they have been unable to find sufficient food. My skinny frog I reported in my last blog, is still alive, but looking a little plumper.....I suspect frog is now munching on a few of those plump tadpoles I had.
Ryan, I made a frog hotel...toad house from sunken pipes. I covered the area with logs and chip bark and planted some ground cover plants to look nice from my point of view and to give shade and cover to the frogs/toads. The toads preferred just to bury themselves under the logs.
Revenge of the tadpoles. Alas I awoke this morning to my skinny frog in the water, looking forward surrounded by nibbling tadpoles. Poor frog had died over night and so tadpoles were doing their best to help recycle him. Sorry, frog was just gazing at me so I buried it in the garden to fertilise the plants. Poor frog.
I put my pond in just over 12 months ago, its about 6'x3' and about 18" at its deepest, I used the best liner on offer.
I wanted it as a wildlife pond only and have a few marginal plants and a few oxygenating plants in there. I also installed a small solar pump with fountain.
I have suddenly in the past week started to have hundreds, if not thousands of mosquito/midge larvae and not sure what I should do with them.
I am lucky enough to have about half a dozen tadpoles that are doing well and a mass of pond snails. I assume this means the water quality is not too bad.....or am I wrong? I had been told that I may need to change the liner and start again because of the larvae.
Any advice would be appreciated.
We made our pond from an air raid shelter. We have had it for 2 years, and acquired newts, tadpoles, water boatmen, backswimmers, orb spiders on bulrushes and we ahve got hoverflies
To Nick: when I first filled my newly dug pond, it was colonised within a couple of hours by a newt! The rest of the wildlife followed at their leisure but it didn't take that long: weeks rather than months - the word gets around! Beware when buying aquatic plants; I have a long-term problem with Duckweed and can only assume this came in with a batch of oxygenating ones I bought in. On the whole it is better to leave the pond to its own devices, I think but will stand corrected if anyone has any tips on this. Good Luck with it.
This is the first time in about three years we have had frog spawn; there haven't been the usual number of frogs around to provide it. I have no idea why this is and can only guess that it had something to do with the previous severe winters as the pond seemed to be OK and I was very careful when melting holes in the ice (with reference to one of my many pond books!) so that creatures could breathe/escape, etc. Happily, it seems the situation has righted itself with frog heads popping up out of the water, and a lot of tadpoles.Now to tackle that Duckweed again...
I can't find the link to post a new topic on your blog page, so I've posted this on ducks in our garden. This is related to your nesting duck and is an exception to the story that drakes take no part in raising the family after mating.
Picture of duck with ducklings hatched in our garden and swimming in our pond.
1. Duck obviously mated with a domestic drake and a mallard drake - 13 ducklings, 6 little yellow jobs, 7 stripy jobs.
2. Same duck, now faithful to one drake in the following year, swimming with all mallard ducklings. Drake swimming with them, a proud father.

Covert Action
Although the principle of state sovereignty lies at the heart of international law, the super powers have not refrained from corrupting governments, destabilising societies, eliminating their leaders and even overthrowing regimes by means of covert action. While this form of interference is relatively inexpensive when weighed against the potential gains, it inevitably undermines trust among nations.
The Anglo-Saxons have become the masters of the game. As joint signatories to a 1948 secret military pact (UK-USA + Canada, Australia, New Zealand), they fashioned espionage and covert action tools to serve their common project: the Cold War. They were rivaling in this field against the Soviet Union, over which they had already attained undeniable superiority. Both Maoist China and post-colonial France also resorted to analogous means with a view to securing zones of interest, mainly in Africa.
The landscape changed completely after the demise of the USSR. China stopped financing armed revolutionary groups all around and concentrated on pragmatic intelligence efforts to sustain economic cooperation development. France withdrew from its private reserve in Africa to leave room for the European Union. Having outlived the Yeltsin abyss, Russian intelligence set about restructuring at the national level and in their historical area of influence (newly independent ex-Soviet states) by mobilizing against external intrusions rather than interfering in the affairs of other countries.
As of 1995, the Anglo-Saxons invested massively in their secret services, whose budget tripled over a 15-year period. In addition, they have drawn the Israeli services into their structure either as full members or as subcontractors. In 2009, the Anglo-Saxon services (except Israel) operate on an employment level of 250,000 men and a budget exceeding 100 billion dollars (i.e. 15 times higher than Russia's, virtually their main competitor). In effect, espionage and covert action have become the essential tools of forced globalisation.
Turkish MP Dr. Mehmet Ali Ediboğlu] (Republican People's Party - CHP) revealed that on 19 November 2014, a US ship had entered the port of Iskanderun carrying an illegal cargo of heavy weapons.
Riot police sealed off the port during the unloading of the cargo, which notably included missiles and heavy launchers. The material was then taken out by two convoys of twelve vehicles headed for the Al-Qaeda camp located in Osmaniye

According to information obtained from the email of George Bilt, a former MIT alumni and aviation expert for more than 20 years, the Malaysian Boeing 777 flight #MH17 Amsterdam – Kuala-Lumpur, which tragically collapsed on July 17, 2014, was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter jet chasing it.
The email was sent a few days ago attention to the Russian Union of Engineers which published a preliminary Incident Report on MH17 .

After 27 years in power in Burkina Faso, President Blaise Compaoré was suddenly ousted by a popular uprising on 30 October 2014. Having kept himself in power since the riots of 2011 through brutal repression, he swiftly resigned and fled to Côte d'Ivoire.
Compaoré had announced his intention to amend Article 37 of the Basic Law, so that he could run again in 2015 and continue his presidential mandate. As a matter of principle, the African Union condemns the leaders who alter their Constitution (...)
Since 18 July 2012, the beginning of the Nicaraguan-model war on Syria, fighters have flocked to the Levant from the entire Muslim world. According to the narrative spewed by the Atlanticist and Gulf media, it is all about spontaneous migration. The Guardian revealed that "A report by the UN security council finds that 15,000 people have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the Islamic State (Isis) and similar extremist groups. They come from more than 80 countries." . (...)
After keeping a meaningful two-month pause in covering the course of investigation of the MH17 tragedy, the international press has suddenly broke into another wave of baseless accusations against "pro-Russia separatists", triggered by a "secret report" made by the BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst, German foreign intelligence) for the Bundestag Control Committee on October 8, 2014. Ten days later the Spiegel alleged that at the meeting the BND president Gerhard Schindler had provided "satellite (...)
After the "accidental" death of socialist candidate Eduardo Campos, Brazilians were asked to choose their president among three main candidates: outgoing President Dima Rousseff, the Social Democrat Aecio Neves, or Campos' substitute, the environmentalist Marina Silva, known for her links with George Soros. Silva's decision to rally behind Neves seemed to ward off foreign interference, but it is having the opposite effect, observes Wayne Madsen.
Journalist Serena Chehim had announced she was working on a report including videos showing the involvement of the World Food Programme in transporting jihadists of the Islamic Emirate (Daesh) between Turkey and Syria.
However, this story will never be released. The journalist died after her car was hit by a heavy vehicle on the Syrian border; her cameraman was seriously injured and the video tapes have vanished.
Serena Chehim was a dual Lebanese-US national. She worked for the Iranian (...)
So far, no official authority has clarified the circumstances of the downing of flight MH17 over Donbass. However, the Obama administration, despite the lack of evidence and based on its subjective conviction, pinned the blame on the Self-Defense Forces of the People's Republics of Lugansk and Donetsk. It has applied economic sanctions against Moscow, which protects these republics, and has admitted having coerced the European Union into doing the same.
On September 10, the authorities of (...)
President Barack Obama has largely developed his targeted killing program. Once a week, he oversees a meeting of his security officials in a White House basement to decide who will be his next victims, reported the New York Times [12].
The Nobel Peace Prize winner justified his action by claiming that all he is doing is taking out the leaders of the Al-Qaeda terrorist network [13].

Giorgio Napolitano
While Libya lies in flames, with thousands of men, women and children, driven by desperation, trying every day to cross the Mediterranean — and many of them will lose their lives – Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano issues this warning: "Beware of the outbreaks all around us," starting with the "persistent instability and fragility of the situation in Libya." (aletheiaonline.it, July 12)

Everyone has noticed the contradiction of those who recently characterized the Islamic Emirate as "freedom fighters" in Syria and who are indignant today faced with its abuses in Iraq. But if that speech is incoherent in itself, it makes perfect sense in the strategic plan: the same individuals were to be presented as allies yesterday and must be as enemies today, even if they are still on orders from Washington. Thierry Meyssan reveals below US policy through the particular case of Senator John McCain, conductor of the "Arab Spring" and longtime partner of Caliph Ibrahim.
The European Court of Human Rights, in a non-final ruling, condemned Poland for failing to fulfill its obligations by allowing the CIA to open a secret prison (code name "Quartz") on its territory.

The German government decided to put an end to the tacit agreement, established in 1945, through which it pledged to abstain from monitoring the espionnage activities on its soil of the British, French and U.S. intelligence agents.

For several months, U.S. intelligence services have ramped up their efforts to destabilize Venezuela. Protests circumscribed to a few neighborhoods have been widely relayed by the media to give the impression that they engulf the entire country. However, there are growing signs that Washington's hand behind these strange events.
The world is changing. Formerly, there was a capitalist right and a socialist left. Today, the world is dominated by the United States and the first question that arises is whether to serve or to resist them. As in World War II, we find all ideologies in each camp. For now, Washington coordinates the alliance between the Nazis and jihadists in Europe with the blessing of the anti-Putin Russians.
The Atlanticist media stubbornly presents the crimes committed in Odessa on May 2 as the result of an accidental blaze, while the photos and video footage available leave no doubt that the victims were tortured and murdered before being burned. We bring you first-hand information on how the operation was organized and executed under the direct and personal authority of coup-appointed acting President Alexander Turchinov and Ukrainian-Israeli oligarch Ihor Kolomoiskiy.
The Ukrainian army made fraudulent use, on 13 May 2014, of a Mil Mi-24 helicopter displaying the colors of the UN to attack the federalists.
On 25 April, the Ukrainian government had slammed the arrest of eight military inspectors by Slavjansk federalists, asserting they were part of an OSCE delegation.

Publications sympathetic to the Polish government harshly criticized Thierry Meyssan's article discussing the training drills set up by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Ukrainian Pravy Sector activists in September 2013, i.e. prior to the Maidan events in Kiev [17].
In their opinion, Thierry Meyssan's denunciations seriously harmed their country by giving the impression that Poland had participated in the organization of a coup in Ukraine, while she generously interceded to resolve (...)
The current tug of war between Washington and Moscow has made us lose sight of the circumstances surrounding the regime change in Kiev and the consequences thereof. Beyond the invectives slung from each side of the US/Russian divide, the fact remains that the new Ukrainian government came into power as the result of a coup orchestrated by the United States. Even if today a part of the Ukrainian population appears to be satisfied, it will inevitably get caught in the trap and eventually open its eyes.
The spokesman of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Marcin Wojciechowski, refuted the claims made by Nie magazine about Pravy Sector activists being trained at the Polish police academy. He stated that the magazine had never interviewed the officials named in the article and wrote off the matter as a regrettable April Fool's day caper.

Seattle takes Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson
RENTON, Wash. (AP)
Even with picking up Matt Flynn in free agency, the Seattle Seahawks decided to add another quarterback to their roster by drafting Wisconsin's Russell Wilson with the 75th overall pick in the third round of the NFL draft on Friday night.
The decision to take Wilson may be a bit of a surprise with Seattle signing Flynn to a three-year deal in the offseason and with starter Tarvaris Jackson under contract for one more season. Seattle has also been high on undrafted rookie Josh Portis, who was Seattle's No. 3 QB last season.
Wilson was a star in his final year at Wisconsin. He helped the Badgers win the Big Ten title before falling to Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Wilson set the NCAA record for pass efficiency at 191.8 last season while throwing for 3,175 yards and 33 touchdowns.

Senator Toomey votes against debt deal
Published On: Oct 17 2013 05:02:51 PM CDT

Updated On: Oct 17 2013 05:43:02 PM CDT
US Senator Pat Toomey was among the Pennsylvania Republicans who voted against the debt deal Wednesday night.
Toomey says he supports re-opening the government but he says the measure doesn't address the nation's overspending problem.
Toomey was among five of Pennsylvania's 14 Republican members of Congress who voted "no."
So was Congressman Joe Pitts.
That puts them in the majority of 277 Republicans in Congress who also voted down the bill.
All six of Pennsylvania's Democrats in Congress voted for the legislation.

The GOLDen State: Winning California (by District); Texas; heads-up!Submitted by jaktober on Sat, 03/24/2012 - 00:27
UPDATE: http://freeindependentsun.com/republic/the-golden-state-stan...
Okay, I'm not sure if Texas has a similar delegate process to us, but I just think Texas needs to step it up as much as we do.
We must have strong showings in both these states, if not win outright; this is how we are going to win in California. Seriously, if you are a supporter in California, this is it. No time to d!ck around.
We have new congressional districts this year. Find out which one you are in; this is your "turf." This is where you will be campaigning the next 2 1/2 months.
I'm district 5. (Any other CA-5s on here message me; now. Do it, don't go; "maybe I'll do it tomorrow or later." Just send me a quick message saying "Hey, I'm Ron, I'm in CA-5, here is my email/number).
Here is how the CA delegate process works: 10 go to the winner of the state, 3 go to the winner of each district (159 total), and 3 are chosen by the party. It is a district game!
Once you figured out your district, go onto the Ron Paul site and apply to be a delegate:
Put something at stake here, get invested, even if you don't get picked, as you are campaigning to your family and friends you will be campaigning for yourself. If you are like me you have probably gotten the "I'd vote for you; you should run for something." At the same time, you probably get frustrated when the same people won't simply support the candidates you do. Well, now you get the best of both worlds, "Hey, I'm running to be a delegate to the RNC; to win I need to get Ron Paul to win our district's GOP Primary. You've always said you'd vote for me if I ran for something, I can count on your support right?"
So, that is the base thing to do; now, if you don't already got down fundamental campaigning here is the short and skinny:
1. Go to the Library and Post Office and grab about half of their voter registration forms (if you grab all of them they might question you, grabbing half they won't bother).
2. Get literature, Super Brochures are pretty solid (there are some Cali specific brochures being worked on, I heard an idea for some Spanish language brochures, either way, get some literature). You can order them, or you might run across someone with a bunch at a local Ron Paul meet-up.
3. Get on Meet-Up, and get numbers of activists near you that are committed to doing a lot of work over the next 2 1/2 months.
4. Get to Work:
A) First thing is to focus on registering people with the GOP that are not already registered. This includes friends and family. Hit up anti-war groups, pro-pot groups, democrats (especially if there is an incumbent congressman in your district; thus no worth while primary), independents, and libertarians. Find their websites or meet up groups.
B) Start going Door-to-door. Find the time you like. I typically go around 11-2 on Saturdays, but recently I did some actual paid canvasing and they go 4-8 during the week. Door-to-door is rough, but you got to do it. Use this as your back-up, the following are priority when available:
C) Go to events and meetings. Farmers markets, flea markets, etc. Try to get a table there, if not, just stand somewhere and ask "are you registered to vote for Ron Paul?" - "Free information on Ron Paul?" - "Registered to vote?" Once someone stops you'll get to get more into the details about the registration deadline, the GOP Primary, and Ron Paul (and why they should vote for him).
D) Go to GOP MEETINGS!!! This is critical, especially after the registration deadline is over. Once the deadline is done it is GOP, GOP, GOP.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: MAY 21st!
Along the way, if you are properly involved with your local groups, you will find DVDs, more handouts, signs, banners, etc.
Only do Sign Waves when you are burnt out and/or have nothing else to do (you can always go door-to-door).
E) Go to local vendors of like minded items (hemp, gold/silver, anarchist book stores, etc.) and talk to the people behind the counters, try to get them to let you leave information on their counter, try to get them to tell their friends about Ron Paul and get them to register and vote.
F) Along the way, start making lists of people (with numbers/addresses) in your immediate area. If you have a car, offer to give people a ride on election day (plan on taking it off of work if possible). If we all, after all of this work, at least make sure to bring 3 people to vote with us on election day we will win.
G) Okay, this is the last part, for the few days before the election, you are going to do some couch-to-couch canvasing. You are going to call your friends, especially ones you know have registered and are voting Ron Paul, heading over to their house and putting a sign in the lawn. You are going to get them to find out who they know that are registered GOP and make sure to get them to the poll to vote Ron Paul (make sure to emphasize, that since you are running to be a delegate, they are really voting for YOU!).
This will likely take 20-40 minutes of hanging out, having a drink, and showing how important this is to you.
H) Also, while you are driving around, if you got any banners, get some zip ties and seek out high-visibility over hangs, public fences (not private property, but fences along freeways, etc.) to hang up a Ron Paul banner.
I) And, lastly, if you really want to get crafty, get some chalk and the night before the election chalk up sidewalks saying "Vote Ron Paul Today" - I suggest making the "o" in Ron Paul a "peace sign." It is California after all.

Postmarked May 21st for last day of registration to GOP.
Primary Presidential elections are closed primaries so you must "come to the darkside (lol)" and register GOP in order for your vote for RP to count.
Everyone else up for election for Mayor, state senate, congress, and federal congress are open primaries and can vote regardless of what party you are registered to and I believe you can vote for more than one on some.
Lastly...I'm seeing RP stickers, banners, on cars, road signs, and freeway overpasses. Continue doing the good work people!!!
You mean join the Obsidian Council!

Reid is a born and raised Calgarian, and thrilled to be co-anchoring the Saturday and Sunday Morning News on Global Calgary.
He began his broadcasting career at CH Red Deer as a video journalist. Reid then moved to Global Edmonton as a News Reporter before returning home to Calgary.
Some of the most poignant stories Reid has covered include the murder of an RCMP constable in the Northwest Territories in 2007. Reid was also working in Ottawa when the death of Federal NDP Leader Jack Layton was announced in August 2011.
In the spring of 2011, Reid was honoured with a regional RTNDA award for his part in co-producing and reporting the Global News special Pine Lake: 10 Years Later. The long feature told the story of survivors from one of Alberta's most deadly tornadoes that swept through the Green Acres Campground in July 2000.
Reid is looking forward to waking up early every weekend to bring you Calgary's most current and comprehensive local news.

NBC Wins Its First Three-Day Ratings Streak in Nearly a Decade
The last time the network won adults 18-49 this many nights in a row during the regular season, Matthew Perry was starring in "Friends" -- and "E.R.," "Will & Grace" and "The West Wing" were still on the air.
NBC is having a pretty nice fall. The perennially fourth place network has seen a successful autumn run for The Voice, won the adults 18-49 demographic the first two weeks of the official season, raked in the strongest DVR growth of any new series (Revolution) and, as of Tuesday's final numbers, it's pulled a feat not seen since the glory days of Friends.
Nearly nine years to the day since the network last won three nights in a row, NBC saw consecutive demo dominance on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. That statistic, of course, concerns just the regular season -- but it last occurred Nov. 12-14, 2003.
PHOTOS: The Odds on Which Fall Shows Will Survive
So what was on back then? The first night, a Wednesday, had Ed, Law & Order and The West Wing. On Thursday, Friends was already two months into its final season and still the strongest scripted performer in the demo. It was the latter days of the original "Must See TV," with Scrubs, Will & Grace and E.R. rounding out the night. Friday, a little less storied, had new episodes of Dateline, Miss Match and Third Watch.
What's working now isn't that surprising. Sunday Night Football, the highest-rated program on TV, starts every week with a guaranteed win for the network. And the combo of The Voice and Revolution on Mondays has been a strong one since it launched nearly a month ago, topping its biggest competition in the CBS comedies and, to a lesser extent, ABC's Dancing With the Stars after they returned three weeks ago.
Tuesday is the wild card. The first two of the regular season went to CBS, with its NCIS two-for and freshman Vegas. But a resurgent episode of The Voice last night, jumping 50 percent from last week's clip show, helped drive the rest of the schedule -- Go On, New Normal, Parenthood -- up double digits. The network topped CBS by just over a tenth of a point (2.93 over a 2.8 rating with adults 18-49).

It's anybody's guess as to whether original outings of The Voice can sustain a Tuesday win moving forward -- a clearly confident NBC announced a two-hour episode of the The Voice planned for Tuesday, Oct. 30 -- but this week is certainly another feather in the network's cap.
And if there's anyone who can share in their sense of accomplishment, it's Matthew Perry. The Friends and Go On star is one of a small few who can say he was here the last time this happened.

I started this post with the intention of covering basic ssh and ssh key usage at a novice level and then going on to more advanced topics such as discussing scp usage, the ssh-agent and how it's used, tunneling, port-forwarding, proxy hoping and so on. As soon as I thought about it I realized, "Wow, this is going to take a while." Instead of trying to tackle everything here I'm going to turn this into a series of posts, each covering a topic related to how I use ssh on a daily basis. I'll kick this series off with some fundamentals of ssh and move on to more advanced topics in subsequent posts.
