This is HUCKABEE SANDERS RESPONSE! Doesn't sound like her, sounds like TRUMP standing over her shoulder dictating (spewing). "Known liar" "disgraced partisan hack."
WHO do you think that sounds like?
"This is absurd," Sanders said in a statement provided to POLITICO. "James Comey was fired because he's a disgraced partisan hack, and his Deputy Andrew McCabe, who was in charge at the time, is a known liar fired by the FBI."

Shorts / The Ultimate Internet Love Song
The Ultimate Internet Love SongWritten by Streeter Seidell
I Love You More than the Internet
When it came to you and me I asked Will we blend
And like David after dentist I didn't know what was happenin'
But like Leo, strolling through my mind like you do
And I knew, all my love are belong to you
boom goes my heart, it'll never stop
Like Appalachian State girl, you hot hot hot
Are you from heaven baby, cuz that's how you make me feel
Put shoe on head so I know that you're real
Demotivate my nerve, Imma stumbleupon ya
I'm sweating so much people thinkin' I'm Balmer
Cuz your love, like charlie, bit me, and I started acting crazy
Got me so mixed up inside, I'm sounding like the grape lady
Damn, what am I doing man, I'm wracked by doubt
I'm freaking like someone canceled my Warcraft account
Got all of these emotions locked up inside
Gotta tell you how I feel but, Fuck it, I'll do it live
You're cuter than a kid in the Landlord video
Make me laugh like a cat playing on the piano
And I mean this when I say it baby, never forget
That I I love you even more than the Internet
Phase two, we're together like bubb and little sister
and my heart goes Woo Woo every time that i miss you
When you're gone I feel sick like a couple girls with a cup
but you know I roll like Rick, and Ill never give you up
And I'll never let you down, it's time to make a statement
I'm coming in with confidence like Leroy Jenkins
Where Chris Crocker at, get that dude on the phone
Cuz just like Britney Spears I won't leave you alone
Got me walking on air like the Peter Pan man
Call me Star Wars kid, cuz my love's embarrassing'
Intrude your bedroom, run and tell dat son
And like-a long cat, my love goes on and on
I'm a numa new man, I'm a he, you my Ho
Pop the question, an impress ya, like Mahir I kiss yo'
I got down on one knee to make a statement so bold
Like leprechaun in a tree, let me give you the gold
You haxored my heart, and I don't even mind
Got me dancing inside like it's peanut butter jelly time
And I mean this when I say it baby, never forget
That I I love you even more than the Internet
Epic fail, you shut me down, sad like Keanu.
I'm in pain, crying out like you tazed me bro
Feeling like you kicked my heart screaming this is Sparta
now it's ripped out of my chest and it's torn apart ya...
…tore a hole in my soul, a black pit like Goatse.
but like bacon, I know you're still good for me
All I ever wanted from ya baby was to be your man
but now just like Piccard I got my head in my hands
Can't hold back the tears, I gotta let em' go
And I'm crying like I just wanted to make it snow
Now I'm bitter baby, when I think about that day
I'm like I commenter on digg, I got nothing nice to say
But time heals all, a year later you're online
And like MySpace, I haven't seen ya in a while
We're so far apart girl, you're on a different track
but still just like Facebook, (I) want the old you back
Damn I miss you, girl when you coming home?
I'm lost without you, boo, I'm forever alone
And I mean it when I say it, baby, never forget
that I love you even more than the Internet.
Probably not, to be honest

Welcome to "All Things Gardening", your one-stop shop for the best in Garden accessories, health, and wellbeing in the UK!
My aim is to provide you with a number of useful articles, guides, product reviews and recommendations to help you with you with all your gardening needs. How to prune your fruit trees, which are the best secateurs for the job and where you can buy them. We hope each garden product will not also be valuable to you, but we will show you when and where to use it in your garden, patio or other outdoor space.
Health and Wellbeing
But… I want to make this site a little bit different! I want us to view gardening and being outside as a holistic approach to happiness, health, and well-being. I know this is a little left of center but first have a quick look at this article I wrote about Biohipila, described by E.O. Wilson as "an innate and genetically determined affinity of human beings with the natural world." This article about Green Exercise might also interest you as well as this paper by "The King's Fund". It's not just my idea, there is lots of research in the field which I will bring to you. I also want to explore growing your own food on a small scale, getting your children involved for their wellbeing, and even some fun and healthy outdoor food ideas as well as exploring gut health (please read "Gut-brain Axis") and its effects on wellbeing. This might seem like a lot of subjects to cover in one site, but they are all perfectly linked, simple and doable.
(I love deep garden borders, full of colour)
Garden Accessories
I have built a large amount of knowledge with my own gardening trials, reading gardening websites, watching and listening to others – the best way to learn!
The accessories, from garden sheds to wellie boots, patio jointing mortar to BBQ's will each be covered in great depth and detail. I am evening planning on going to some of the best garden product distributors in the UK to get the information straight from the gardener's mouth.
As well as accessories for your garden I would like to bring you some ideas for seeds and plants you could try as well. I love bringing my own seeds on in a small plastic greenhouse and my friends 70 foot polytunnel. I will bring you some video footage showing how I get on and how to get some cheap plants to enjoy in your garden.
Common Garden Designs
Here in the UK we are becoming more and more confident with landscape and garden design. Blending many styles into different areas to make a verity of different spaces, but following some basic rules all in one garden. Long gone is a patio, an old leggy geranium and a square of grass, clipped neatly and edged to perfection.
We play with garden types and rightly use the sun, soil, drainage and hard landscaping to create different types of garden areas while telling a story by theaming, creating harmony and links from one space to the other.
For example, you have a contemporary patio space, grey minimal patio furniture, with a hint of Mediterranean planting and the odd hot colour. Your lawn is almost perfect apart from the 2-yard wide meadow planted down one side. A deep herbaceous border planted in a south facing bed and the shade littered with ferns and digitalis. To tie the garden you might carry the hot reds from the patio into all other areas and repeat the same flower in clumps throughout the garden in other places they will grow. The digitalis might show at the back of the meadow area along the fence or through the herbaceous border as well.
It's important to play and enjoy your garden, but also to adapt your ideas to how your plants perform. It has caused me much frustration (and wasted money) over the years trying to grow a plant in the wrong location and watching it just survive and never thrive… Have the confidence to lift it and re-position it in a new location, suited to what it requires – it will thank you for it!
Common Garden Accessories
The Greenhouse – If you have space a good quality greenhouse is a must. It will allow you to grow amazing tomatoes, a grapevine or provide you a space to bring on tender seedlings. Good ventilation is essential, possibly a heater to ward away winter frost. Some capillary matting on benches to assist your watering. Maybe some shade from the hot summer sun. If you cannot afford a full glasshouse, then a small walk-in or 4 shelf greenhouse might suit you better.
Digging Tools – A sharp spade and strong fork is essential if you intend to work larger areas of soil to improve its structure with organic material or other soil improvers. Maybe an electric cultivator would be useful as well, especially if you have a large vegetable growing space. A hoe of any design is amazing for quickly loosening weeds, that grow between your plants. Hoeing saves hours if kept on top of. Small hand tools like dibbers, forks, and trowels are good for smaller beds, pots, and containers.
Cutting Tools – Every gardener needs a good blade for cutting string, stems and even opening bags of compost. A reliable knife should be in your pocket every time you go into your garden. A good, strong pair of bypass secateurs is also essential and the more cutting you do, the more you should spend for good steel that holds an edge and design to fit well in the hand. A pruning saw is useful for cutting larger brown wood, a lopper for higher branches and maybe a bow saw for thick limbs. Mechanical hedge trimmers are fantastic for large areas of a hedge but for a tighter, neater, cut and shape a set of hedge sheers would be ideal. Lawn edgers, chain saws, grass trimmers and even lawn mowers, the list goes on. The size of your garden and the planting style will dictate the types and quality of cutting tools you need.
Brushes & Other Garden Accessories – Where would we be without a few brushes. A good yard brush is essential for getting rid of grass and hedge trimmings as well as clearing up after a few hours of potting on. A dustpan and brush will often be needed to finish up the sweeping and cleaning down your gardening accessories. Strong bags for carrying the cuttings to the dump, a kneeler pad to save your knees while weeding, sturdy gardening gloves, bulb planters, sprays, and stands! There are thousands of products you can buy to help you maintain your outdoor space.

GOP-funded registration drive accused of deception
The Associated Press
Substitute teacher Adam Banse wanted a summer job with flexible hours, so he signed up to knock on doors in suburban Minneapolis and register people to vote.
He quit after two hours. "They said if you bring back a bunch of Democratic cards, you'll be fired," Banse contends. "At that point, I said, 'Whoa. Something's wrong here.'"
He isn't alone. In several battleground states across the country, a consulting firm funded by the Republican National Committee has been accused of deceiving would-be voters and destroying Democratic voter registration cards. read on

The following message is being shared with Wake Forest families at the request of David Levy, Associate Dean of the College and Chair, Honor and Ethics Council.
As a parent and grandparent, I am aware of the strong desire to be helpful to your student when s/he encounters difficulty in her or his studies in school. Now that your student is at Wake Forest, it is important to bear in mind that there should be limits to the extent and nature of support that you as a parent or family member may offer.
All Wake Forest students are obliged to abide by the Honor Code, as is explained most fully in the document, Student Code of Conduct. Wake Forest offers a wide variety of options for students to receive help coping with difficulties they may encounter. It is not uncommon, however, for students to seek help and guidance from family as well. In such cases, parents are encouraged to refer their student to one or more of these excellent on-site resources. It is always best for the student to begin with the faculty member who is teaching the course. Academic advisers and the Office of Academic Advising (OAA) are the next best resource.
Emotional support and encouragement from families is wonderful, but under no circumstances should a family member actually do the work on behalf of the student. Allowing the student to struggle, and even to fail, often proves to be a better learning experience than seeking an easy way out of difficulty. While it may be painful to see your student struggle, it is always best for the student to take responsibility for her or his own education. As an example, I wish to present one way in which familial over-involvement in academic work has had negative consequences.
Wake Forest's policy concerning ethical usage of technology states:
Use of campus facilities is restricted to authorized users. For the purposes of this document, an "authorized user" shall be defined as an individual who has been assigned a login ID and password by Information Systems staff (on any relevant system), or by an authorized agent. Individual users are responsible for the proper use of their accounts, including the protection of their login IDs and passwords. Users are also responsible for reporting any activities which they believe to be in violation of this policy, just as students are responsible for reporting Honor Code violations.
Individuals should use only those computing facilities they have been authorized to use. They should use these facilities:
I regret to say that in my experience as Associate Dean of the College, I have seen this policy violated, with unfortunate outcomes for the student, and a devastating effect on the student's family. In violation of this policy, the student shared both password and login ID. While the student was culpable, the parent had shared responsibility.
I know from experience that parenting is the kind of love that grows toward separation. Just as the bird urges the chick to leave the nest as soon as possible, I know that you want to see your student fly on her or his own. Experience has also taught me that when you do so, the bonds of love are strengthened, and not weakened. I wish your student well as s/he thrives in every way imaginable during their time at Wake Forest! Trust them to grow as we here on campus challenge and support them on their journey!
David B. Levy
Associate Dean of the College and Chair, Honor and Ethics Council
To contact the Office of Family Engagement, please visit our contact page.
One of the best ways parents/families can help their students is to let them solve their own problems. Use the Stop, Drop, and Roll method when your student contacts you with a problem. The flyer also lists contact information for serious concerns where family intervention might be appropriate.
Select slide shows and handouts from Orientation sessions are available online.

There's going to be a chart battle this week as the biggest music awards ceremony of the year takes place.
Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran are among the Brit Award nominees who are scaling the charts this week ahead of the annual music awards ceremony on Wednesday.
Singer-songwriter Lipa, who is leading the pack with five nominations, has jumped seven places on the albums chart to number four with her self-titled debut at the halfway stage of the charts week, the Official Charts Company has said.
If it ends the week in fourth place, it will beat the album's previous chart high of number five.
Congratulations to the Mastercard British Album of the Year Nominees @DUALIPA @edsheeran @Jhus @RagNBoneManUK @Stormzy #BRITs pic.twitter.com/4QcDcCyZOD— MastercardUK (@MastercardUK) January 13, 2018
Lipa's LP is up for British album of the year along with Sheeran's Divide, Rag'n'Bone Man's Human, Stormzy's Gang Signs & Prayer and Common Sense by J Hus.
Previous chart-topper Divide is in line to end this week at number two on the albums chart, having retained its position from last week.
Human is currently at number nine after climbing three places, while grime artist Stormzy has also seen a boost this week, jumping five places to 36.
Taylor Swift, who is up for the international female solo artist prize, has seen her album Reputation rebound nine spots to number 11.
International male nominee Kendrick Lamar has risen eight places to 13 with Damn, and British male hopeful Liam Gallagher's As You Were is at 16 from 24 last week.
However, despite the push from Brit nominees, reigning chart-topper The Greatest Showman soundtrack looks set to retain its position for a seventh consecutive week.
A Deeper Cut by British blues rockers The Temperance Movement is the highest new entry this week at number three and Camila Cabello rounds off the top five with her debut album Camila.
Over on the Official Singles Chart, Canadian rapper Drake looks set to be unmoved from the top spot with God's Plan.
He has a lead of 2,000 combined sales and streams at the mid-week stage, although Rudimental track These Days is hot on its heels at number two.

Hip Dysplasia and Baby Carriers
The exact causes of hip dysplasia are not known. The percentage is higher among babies born in breach position, and girls are more often diagnosed with this condition than boys. There are some scientific studies that shows that the rate of hip dysplasia is higher among children that have been swaddled. Therefore, swaddling your baby's legs tightly together for a longer period of time is not recommended by pediatricians.
3. I've read on the International Hip Dysplasia Institute site that some types of baby carriers are not safe for my baby's hips. Is that true? Why do they claim that?
4. Why do I hear rumors that certain brands of baby carriers like the Baby Bjorn are bad for my baby? What facts are they based on?
It can be difficult to sort out what is medically fact-based versus solely someone's opinion with different sources of information. If you would like to learn more about hip dysplasia, you can find some useful information from this site.
I hope that the information above can be helpful to you in making an informed choice when considering your baby carrying options based on your own preference and needs.

With the Mini E being launched at the L.A Auto Show this week, BMW set a standard when it comes to electric cars: offer a viable eco solution without sacrificing BMW's reputation when it comes to performance and dynamics.
The show has not even ended yet and some rumors are already starting to pile up. BMW's CEO Her Reithofer spoke about BMW's future plans which revolve around EfficientDynamics and especially, the Project i. We have also learned that BMW will focus their attention now on the Geneva Auto Show which will also represent the groundbreaking point for several of their new models. One of those models that will be showcased there is a BMW 1 Series coupe powered by a Mini E engine.
The car will not be available for leasing like the Mini Electric, but rather offered as a test drive for the press accredited at the show. Unfortunately there are no other details at this moment and I am sure many of you are already wondering if the electric engine will be able to power the more heavier 1er coupe, a car built on a different principle and design scheme.
P.S Stay tuned for our Mini E review, it was quite an experience for us.

The other day, I talked a friend who was struggling in his business. He is a very talented person with a lot of skill. But he's working long hours and struggling to keep up. I tried to encourage him, let him know his struggle was normal and asked a tough question: Who are you learning from?
We all need people in our life to push us forward. We need people in our lives to pull us forward. Those who push your forward are friends, family members, and inspirational figures. Those who pull you forward have been where you've been before.
When I asked my friend who he was learning from, he mentioned someone very famous and very successful in his space. That guy might have been a hero, but he wasn't a good mentor.
It's great to have heroes. We need them. But we also need to choose mentors who are a few steps ahead of us, people who have been where we are and still remember what it was like. People who can provide practical advice not paint a picture of the ideal.
Recently, I shared a lesson with my kids on how to get good at anything. "Emma, there's three things you need to know if you want to get good at anything," I said. "And these three things work for piano, school work, raising chickens, or whatever you want to get good at." The rest of the conversation went like this…
First, you gotta learn. Isn't it amazing that people can spend two years of their life researching, writing, re-writing, re-researching and writing a book and you can buy it for $15? Isn't it awesome there are how-to videos online for how to fix a car or cook rice? There's so much good information out there, and that's the first step to getting good at something. You gotta learn.
Next, you gotta practice. You can learn about songs and composers and scales, but if you want to get good at the piano, you've got to practice. Experts are really just people who practiced and worked hard. When you see people who are really good at something, remind yourself you're looking at someone who worked really, really hard and practiced a lot.
Finally (and this is the silver bullet), you've got to get a coach. Your piano teacher is your coach. She knows stuff you don't know but she can help you. All the great performers and athletes and successful people have coaches. This is what will separate you from the rest of the pack, and this is the secret ingredient.
Option #1: Clarity Day
One of the best ways to get help is to block off a day for some forced and focused work. Be honest…you don't have time in your normal schedule to cram this in. That's why you've got to make time, to put something on the calendar, and to make the investment so something doesn't pull you away.
A Day of Clarity can be the thing that kickstarts your growth. It's a structured time, filled with discussions that lead to a specific outcome. I'll come to you, and we'll have the important conversations in the room.
At the end of the day, you'll have a one-page plan, effectively reducing your company to just one sheet of paper. You'll know what to work on next and where to focus your people. You'll come back to this document time and time again as you keep leading your organization to greater clarity (and greater results)
We'll work from 9-5 and you can involve relevant people from your team. You'll be surprised at how much we can accomplish in one focused day of work.
Option #2: Consulting
If one day isn't enough or if you find yourself in a unique situation, we can create a path just for you.
There's nothing like having a guide commit to walk with you through important seasons of life. My long-term consulting arrangements typically last anywhere from five to eight months and provide enough time to understand your culture, capitalize on your unique strengths, and implement a plan that will result in lasting change. We will assess your current situation, create a customized roadmap to the preferred future and help you execute a growth plan.
- The engagement period typically begins with a 1-2 day visit. We talk about strengths, weaknesses, and goals. I meet with you, meet with your team, and get a good feel for your organization.
- From there, we'll work on your biggest opportunities for 5-8 months, depending on your needs. Thorough Skype video chats and phone calls, we will work through key issues. I'll mix coaching and advice with action steps and implementation.
- You and I will have bi-weekly phone calls to stay on track. You will complete a short form before each call to help you and I prepare and maximize our time.
- You will have access to resources, relationships, and relevant documents.
- You will have unlimited call, text and email access throughout our relationship. If something comes up, I'm here for you.

Carolina's Chris Terry scored the winner in the shootout to lift the Hurricanes to a 3-2 win over Anaheim on Friday, inflicting a third-straight defeat on the Pacific Division-leading Ducks.
Among other games, Washington also had a shootout win to complete a comeback from a two-goal deficit against Detroit, Ottawa ended a long succession of home defeats by Boston and Los Angeles shut out New Jersey.
Eric Staal and Drayson Bowman scored in regulation for Carolina, who got nine points out of 10 in a five-game homestand.
Corey Perry had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, and Dustin Penner also scored for Anaheim, who were 8-0-1 before going into their current three-game skid.
Washington's Nicklas Backstrom scored the only goal of the shootout to complete a 4-3 win over Detroit.
Brooks Laich and Alex Ovechkin added goals, while Michale Latta scored a memorable first NHL goal for Washington to level the scores at 3-3.
Johan Franzen had two goals and an assist, and Danny DeKeyser had a goal and an assist for Detroit, who lost their seventh straight at home and their 11th consecutive overtime decision there.
Ottawa's Jason Spezza, Jared Cowen and Bobby Ryan scored third-period goals as the Senators beat Boston 4-2. The win ended a run of 11-straight wins in Ottawa for the Bruins.
Chris Neil also scored for the Senators. Loui Eriksson and Brad Marchand scored for the Bruins.
Los Angeles' Dwight King and Anze Kopitar scored third-period goals, while Ben Scrivens made 26 saves to lift the Kings over New Jersey 2-0.

Mariah Carey Works Out In High Heels Because Why Not?
Everybody knows the legend that is Mariah Carey. It's also no secret that Mariah is the queen of divas, quite literally and figuratively.
So, it probably shouldn't come off as a surprise that the legendary singer worked out while wearing high heels because … why not?
Here are more photos of her working out in rather peculiar gym clothes:

The Seven Domains of IT Infrastructure
Extracts from this document...
Seven Domains of IT Infrastructure Seven domains can be found in a typical IT infrastructure. They are as follows: User Domain, Workstation Domain, LAN Domain, LAN-to-WAN Domain, Remote Access Domain, WAN Domain, and System/Application Domain. Each of these domains is viewed as portals for attackers if countermeasures are missing or fail. It is very imperative for businesses to protect each of these seven domains. It only takes one unprotected domain for an attacker to gain access to private data. The User Domain is comprised of individuals that are often not aware of the tricks of attackers. For example, networks usually have strong passwords that one must know in order to gain access to the Internet. Nevertheless, social engineers can persuade individuals to give out personal information such as passwords and other types of private information. ...read more.
Not only can malware affect a single computer but also can infect the whole network. If a computer does have an antivirus program, it must keep its definitions updated simply because new malware can come into existence. By having an antivirus program that is regularly updated can greatly decrease the likelihood of the workstation becoming infected with malware. Inside the firewall is an area known as the LAN Domain. The LAN Domain can either consist of many computers connected together or a few computers connected together. If measures aren't taken to protect the LAN Domain, attackers will easily gain access to the system. The computer systems are all connected by hubs, switches, and routers. Computer systems connected by hubs contribute to sniffing attacks. ...read more.
If the data is left unprotected, attackers will have the potential to attack the system. The WAN instead of the LAN is used as the Internet for most businesses. Given this condition, it is very important for businesses to maintain security on all systems for two reasons. First, the WAN is an untrusted zone. Second, the Internet is also an untrusted zone that is composed of hackers. Therefore, it is highly recommended that businesses keep all systems heavily secured in order to prevent attackers from gaining access. Last but not least, the System/Application Domain consists of servers that must be protected. Several steps must be taken to keep attackers from gaining access to the System/Application Domain. First, all services and protocols that are not used should be removed. Second, new passwords should be formed. Third, the server system should be updated. Last, all firewalls should be turned on. ...read more.

When a friend of mine posted a pic on instagram of her new clear polish with glitter bits in it the other day I knew I had to get myself some. And I did.
Sportsgirl's Nail It nail polishes are always pretty decent and their 'all that glitters' polish is rocking. Did I mention it's only $7.95? Bargain!
The great thing about it is it can jazz up plain or French manicured nails, or add some fun to black or any other colour really.
My first application was over the top of OPI's black onxy polish and it looks awesome. Next up, purple with glitter, red with glitter and French manicure with glitter. So many options!

text: Share: Comments Print November 6, 2013 at 4:46 PM SeaTac minimum-wage measure still ahead, but gap narrows Posted by Amy Martinez A $15-an-hour minimum wage for airport-related workers in SeaTac still appears too close to call. SeaTac Proposition 1, which would raise the hourly wage floor to $15 and require paid sick leave for hospitality and transportation workers, led with 53.2 percent after a second round of vote counting Wednesday. The union-backed measure would take effect Jan. 1, covering roughly 6,300 workers at 72 airport-related businesses in SeaTac, including hotels, car-rental companies and parking lots. With 3,697 votes counted, Proposition 1 led 53.2 percent to 46.8 percent — a difference of 237 votes out of a total of 12,100 registered voters citywide. That's a slightly smaller lead than Proposition 1 had after the first returns Tuesday night, when it led 54 percent to 46 percent, or by 261 votes. Comments | More in Politics Northwest

Hudson River Theatre
In collaboration with Theodore Oyama
'Hudson River Theatre' proposes a process-based protective infrastructure which seeks to imagine how such pervasive elements in our built environment can push beyond their pragmatic duty to take on a more human and poetic character. How can our infrastructures utilize their performative and monumental natures to engage the public and speak to our struggle with and against nature?
One of the most significant repercussions of global warming is the rising of global sea levels: Manhattan is expected to see a sea level rise of up to 2m by 2100, which will dramatically increase the threat of flood surges. In addition to these concerns, rampant industrial growth along the Hudson River has brought about considerable contamination to its water, sediments, and floodplains, destroying the habitats of a variety of fish and bird species. In an effort to remove the contaminated sediment and relieve the Hudson River ecosystem, General Electric has worked with state and federal agencies to establish the Hudson River Dredging project, the largest in the United States. Over the course of the project, over 2 million square meters of polluted dredge material has been removed, shipped on barges, and stored in massive tailing ponds where it will sit indefinitely.
In response to these conditions, the initial phase of the project would be the implementation of a series of six concrete breakwaters inspired by the geometry of typical breakwater modules. These would serve not only as an initial point of contact to disperse and decrease incoming waves, but also house a functioning dredge treatment facility. Here, inspired by experimental techniques developed in Finland, the contaminants in the dredge would be stabilized and essentially sealed. From here, rather than sitting idle in a containment facility, the sealed aggregates would be distributed offshore using a telescopic arm equipped with a gravel belt. This dredge piling process would be guided by a simple set of rules according to the limitations of the arm's movements and to a collection of site data. Every year, each breakwater would process enough dredge material to pile up one ridge. Using GPS data, the point of greatest pedestrian congregation would be calculated, dictating the starting point of the next ridge. From this new centrepoint, the arm would trace out an arc, rotating 20 degrees in each direction while retracting a total of 5m along this distance.
This piling would be carried out daily over a number of decades: each arm is scheduled a one-hour time slot each day to pile material, until it has completed its task - one complete ridge - for the year. The activation of each arm, much like church bells, will act as a daily clock, a fixture in the daily routines of the local residents and workers, and a sort of theatrical performance for tourists and residents alike. As the years add up, the ridges would form a network of piled dredge rising above sea level, not only protecting the city but offering a new coastline condition for pedestrians, wildlife, and plantlife reminiscent of various geological formations. This network will eventually bridge the gap between the shore and the breakwater structures, making the mysterious, massive structures available for public re-appropriation. In this sense, the infrastructure marks not only the time of each day but also the passing of years as it slowly constructs an entirely new shoreline over the course of the next century.

"Reality Snap" - In The Knerd/
I have this thing that happens to me whenever I get really into what I'm doing, and I dub this strange feeling "reality snap". Basically, this happens the most when I'm reading a really interesting book, or I go see a movie in the theaters. When I finish doing said activity, I get this weird groggy feeling and start getting a headache. The only reasonable explanation for this is that when I'm getting really into the book/movie, I zone out, focusing on the book and ignoring everything else. Then, when I "snap" back into reality, the sudden rush of information to my brain from recognizing my surroundings again just overwhelms me.
Or maybe I'm just crazy.
Anyways, does anyone else experience this? Is there an actual name for this?
I'll have to do some dig......oh never mind, finally got through the queue to play World of Warcraft, so now it's time to work on getting my death knight to 82!!

Do It (Tomorrow) For Android & iOS – Personal Task Management Redefined
How many times have you told yourself you'll do something the next day? And how many times have you made good on that promise? Not too many times, right? Worry not, because that's what all those umpteen smartphone to-do list and task managers out there are to take care of. It's just the users' to choice to pick whatever alternative they deem appropriate to their needs. While some apps come jam-packed with all sort of options, other focus on keeping things simple. Do it (Tomorrow) for Android and iOS is a free, multiplatform task organizer that redefines the way you plan and manage your todo list. The app lets you plan today and postpone tasks until tomorrow, in case everything doesn't go according to said plan (which, in my case, is almost always). Equipped with a new, effectively implemented concept, the capability to sync tasks to a user-defined email account and a sassy yet easy-to-use interface, Do it (Tomorrow) makes planning (and pending) tasks fast and convenient, even enjoyable. Initially released only on the iTunes App Store, the app is now available on Google Play Store as well.
The app's interface is undoubtedly one of its greatest strengths. It's what makes using the app such a treat, since it resembles the looks of your routine work diary. If the app's default font bothers you, or if you simply want to add some more eye candy,you can switch to the system's default from Menu > Settings > Handwriting.
Swipe left or right across the screen to switch between tasks planned for the present day and the next, mark a task as completed by tapping it once, unmark it by tapping it again and move incomplete tasks in between the two days simply by tapping the arrow displayed in front of each. Incomplete tasks on the Today page and those moved to the Tomorrow page are retained when the date advances.
The edit button at the top of each page allows easy deletion and rearrangement of tasks on both pages. Last but not the least, the aforementioned sync feature can be set up from within Menu > Settings. Said feature allows you to link an email account of your choice to the app and syncs your tasks across all your Do it (Tomorrow) donning iOS and Android devices, provided all copies of the app are linked to the same address.

Announcing Art of Science 2013!
Art of Science 2013
Artists and scientists team up to enlighten the Memphis community.
Art of Science 2013 is proud to pair the finest local artists with research scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for the third year running. Working together, scientists and artists will create work that introduces new audiences to the principals that are saving children's lives every day at St. Jude. Linking these groups of people both enriches our artistic landscape and inspires people across Memphis to get involved in the fight against deadly childhood diseases. This year's exhibition opens September 27, 2013, with a reception from 6-9pm at the Memphis College of Art Nesin Graduate Center, Hyde Gallery located at 477 South Main Street. The exhibition will run six weeks Wednesday through Saturday, noon to 5pm and by appointment.
The show will feature the work of 27 artists in traditional and interactive media alongside cutting edge scientific imagery. "Last year's opening night attracted more than 2000 viewers," said Dr. Heather Smallwood, PhD, President of Art of Science. "We took this as an indication that the community is interested in the art and in learning more about medical research in Memphis." This year, the Art of Science board of directors aims to inspire even more people.
Researchers at St. Jude not only strive to prevent and cure childhood cancer, but are daily making discoveries that can improve the health and well-being of many Memphians, as well. "Memphis College of Art is delighted to be hosting this year's exhibition, and we know the Memphis community will be out in force to witness these marvelous works," said MCA President Ron Jones. "The work these scientists do at St. Jude is truly an inspiration - what a wondrous and fitting muse for our local artists!" By studying their research, artists create unique portholes that enable viewers to peer inside the laboratories of this renowned facility. Greely Myatt, Carl Moore, Bobby Spillman, Eli Gold, Margret Munz-Loch and dozens of other gifted local artists are lending AOS 2013 their talents.
During the opening reception (Sept. 27), visitors will have an opportunity to meet and talk with all of the scientists and artists whose works are featured. AOS will also provide educational materials to enhance public understanding about the work on display. The exhibition is appropriate for adults and children of all ages. Through this artistic lens people across our community can glimpse and connect with the rarely seen scientific miracles that occur everyday within the walls of St. Jude.

Lumber comes in two types: rough and dressed. Rough lumber has not yet been sanded and smoothed for use. The standard sizes for rough wood are also called the nominal dimensions. Surfaced wood, also called "dressed" wood, has been sanded and smoothed. Therefore, it can be dressed on one or both side. Dressed wood is slightly smaller than the rough lumber size from which it was processed; however, it's still referred to by the nominal wood size. Standard lumber thicknesses are measured in inches or quarters of an inch.
Boards refer to wood less than 2 inches thick. Dimension is the term used for wood between 2 and 5 inches thick. Timbers refer to wood that is at least 5 inches thick. Standard lumber lengths are in 1-foot lengths up to 6 feet long. After this point, the standard length changes to 2-foot increments, starting with 8 feet long.
Standard Thicknesses
Standard lumber thicknesses come in 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 inches. In general, 1-inch and 2-inch thicknesses are used for boards while 4-inch thicknesses are used for posts and structural supports and 8-inch thicknesses are used in landscaping, such as for retaining walls. According to "How to Build Your Own Greenhouse" by Roger Marshall, "lengths increase in 2-foot increments starting at 6 feet." So basically, the standard 2 x 4 board is a 2 foot by 4 foot square of rough wood.
Quarter Designation System
According to "Making Cabinets & Built-Ins" by Sam Allen, "the thickness of a rough cut board can be designated by a system called the quarter designation; the nominal thickness is designated in quarters of an inch." Therefore, 1-inch-thick rough-cut boards are called 4 by 4s." In this system, a 6/4 is 1.5 inches thick.
Processing Dimension Changes
These standard thicknesses are for the rough wood sizes. Dressed wood is processed from rough wood, resulting in finished wood being thinner or narrower than the rough wood from which it was processed. According to "Audel Complete Building Construction" by Mark Richard Miller, Rex Miller, and Eugene Leger, "the familiar quoted size 2x4 refers to a rough or nominal dimension, but the actual size to which the lumber is dressed is 1½ inches x 3½ inches". Dressed thickness is ½ inch to ¾ inch narrower than the nominal dimension. The dressed width is 5/16 to ½ inch narrower than the rough dimension. The thickness lost to finishing depends on whether or not one side or both sides of the lumber is finished.

Personnel at United Airlines' headquarters, near Chicago, are subjected to a surprise training exercise in which they are led to believe that one of their planes has crashed, and their experience with this exercise allegedly means they will be better able to respond to the 9/11 attacks. [USA Today, 8/12/2002; 9/11 Commission, 11/20/2003 ; Studdert, 5/26/2015 ; Dubuque Telegraph Herald, 11/12/2015] Manager Is Concerned that the Airline Is Unprepared for an Accident - Andy Studdert, United Airlines' chief operating officer, has been concerned that, since it hasn't suffered a real accident in over 15 years, United Airlines is unprepared to respond properly should one occur now. "I was worried we'd become cocky," he will later comment. "We thought it couldn't happen to us." Around March this year, therefore, he told the airline's other managers, "One of these days, I'm gonna come in here and I'm gonna do a no-notice drill." [Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 3/15/2012; Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 4/26/2012] A "no-notice" drill is an exercise that is conducted without its participants being given any formal advance notice of when it will occur. [US Department of Justice, 5/21/2000; Inglesby, Grossman, and O'Toole, 2/1/2001; Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, 10/15/2011] Pilot Is Told to Pretend His Plane Is Experiencing an Emergency - Today, Studdert holds this no-notice exercise. Only a few people know about it in advance. Studdert tells a United Airlines employee who he will refer to as his "safety guy" to contact the pilot of a flight to Australia and give them some instructions. The pilot is therefore told he needs to call in during his flight and report an emergency. He should say there is an "uncontained number three engine failure, rapid descent, decompression," but stop talking halfway through the word "decompression" and then go silent. He should also turn off the plane's transponder. [Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 3/15/2012; Dubuque Telegraph Herald, 11/12/2015] (A transponder is a device that sends an aircraft's identifying information, speed, and altitude to air traffic controllers' radar screens. [Washington Post, 9/16/2001] ) Airline Personnel Think One of Their Planes Has Crashed - The simulated emergency takes places this afternoon. At around 2 o'clock, Studdert is interrupted by his secretary, Maryann Irving, who rushes into his office and tells him a Boeing 747 has lost contact while flying over the Pacific Ocean. In response, he runs to the airline's operations center. [Wall Street Journal, 10/15/2001; Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 3/15/2012] Airline employees believe the apparently troubled aircraft has crashed. Some of them are upset and some become physically ill. [Dubuque Telegraph Herald, 11/12/2015] "There are people throwing up in the hall; there are people crying; there are people just staring out the windows," Studdert will describe. Personnel Think the Crisis Is Real for 30 Minutes - Since no one in the operations center is able to contact the apparently troubled aircraft, Studdert opens the airline's crisis center. [Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 3/15/2012] The crisis center, according to journalist and author Jere Longman, is "a terraced, theater-like room that resembled NASA's Mission Control." [Longman, 2002, pp. 77] Opening it, according to Studdert, is a significant course of action. When this happens, everyone working for the airline becomes responsible either for running the airline or acting to support the management of the emergency. This means that "3,000 people are put on an immediate activation." [Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 4/23/2012] United Airlines employees believe one of their planes has crashed for about 30 minutes and then Studdert reveals that the apparent catastrophe is just an exercise scenario. [USA Today, 8/12/2002] He gets on the crisis center's communications link, which, he will say, "has got 170 stations and people all over the country, all over the world," and announces, "This has been a no-notice drill; there is no event; everything's fine." Employees Are Furious about the Exercise - The reaction to the exercise in the days after it takes place will be particularly bitter and Studdert will face severe criticism for running it. "I had the board members calling; I had the unions demanding I be fired; I had people telling me I'm the most evil person in the world," he will recall. [Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 3/15/2012; Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 4/26/2012] Some employees "wanted to kill me," he will say. Exercise Has Similarities to the Situation Experienced on September 11 - It is unclear whether Studdert's exercise has a beneficial or a detrimental effect on the ability of United Airlines to respond to the hijackings 12 days later, on September 11. Studdert will claim that it prepares employees to manage the events of September 11 and reveals weaknesses, such as outdated phone numbers, which are quickly corrected. [Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 4/26/2012; Dubuque Telegraph Herald, 11/12/2015] "It's amazing, after 9/11… how many people came up to me and thanked me [for running the exercise], because we were ready," he will say. [Center for Values-Driven Leadership, 3/15/2012] It is possible, however, that it will cause some United Airlines employees to initially think the reports about the terrorist attacks on September 11 are part of another exercise, although accounts are contradictory (see (8:50 a.m.-9:03 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [USA Today, 8/12/2002; Chicago Tribune, 7/16/2003] The scenario of Studdert's exercise in fact has some similarities with the situation that operations center personnel have to deal with on September 11. On that day, communication with Flight 175—the first of the two United Airlines planes that are hijacked—will be lost (see 8:51 a.m.-8:53 a.m. September 11, 2001) and the plane will have its transponder code changed, although the transponder will not be turned off (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 20-21] Communication will subsequently be lost with Flight 93—the second United Airlines plane to be hijacked (see 9:27 a.m. September 11, 2001 and (9:29 a.m.) September 11, 2001)—and that plane's transponder will be turned off (see (9:40 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 38-39, 43] Crisis Center Holds Quarterly Exercises - The United Airlines crisis center usually runs exercises four times a year. Most of these deal with safety issues, but security scenarios are also rehearsed, according to Ed Soliday, the airline's vice president of safety and security. Typically, the 9/11 Commission will be told, these exercises "are scripted" and based around an act of bioterrorism or an international incident. United Airlines has also practiced hijacking scenarios, according to Soliday, although none of these dealt with the threat of an aircraft being used as a weapon.

Pete Zalewski. [Source: NBC]Because the talkback button on Flight 11 has been activated, Boston Center air traffic controllers can hear a hijacker on board say to the passengers: "We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you'll be OK. We are returning to the airport." [Boston Globe, 11/23/2001; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 19] Air traffic controller Pete Zalewski recognizes this as a foreign, Middle Eastern-sounding voice, but does not make out the specific words "we have some planes." He responds, "Who's trying to call me?" Seconds later, in the next transmission, the hijacker continues: "Nobody move. Everything will be OK. If you try to make any moves you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet." [New York Times, 10/16/2001; 9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004; MSNBC, 9/9/2006] Bill Peacock, the FAA director of air traffic services, later claims, "We didn't know where the transmission came from, what was said and who said it." David Canoles, the FAA's manager of air traffic evaluations and investigations, adds: "The broadcast wasn't attributed to a flight. Nobody gave a flight number." [Washington Times, 9/11/2002] Similarly, an early FAA report will state that both these transmissions came from "an unknown origin." [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/17/2001 ] Zalewski asks for an assistant to help listen to the transmissions coming from the plane, and puts its frequency on speakers so others at Boston Center can hear. Because Zalewski didn't understand the initial hijacker communication from Flight 11, the manager of Boston Center instructs the center's quality assurance specialist to "pull the tape" of the transmission, listen to it carefully, and then report back. They do this, and by about 9:03 a.m. a Boston manager will report having deciphered what was said in the first hijacker transmission (see 9:03 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004; MSNBC, 9/9/2006] Fellow Boston controller Don Jeffroy also hears the tape of the hijacker transmissions, though he doesn't state at what time. He says: "I heard exactly what Pete [Zalewski] heard. And we had to actually listen to it a couple of times just to make sure that we were hearing what we heard." [MSNBC, 9/11/2002] At some point, Ben Sliney, the national operations manager at the FAA's Herndon Command Center, gets word of the "We have some planes" message, and later says the phrase haunts him all morning. American Airlines Executive Vice President for Operations Gerard Arpey is also informed of the "strange transmissions from Flight 11" at some point prior to when it crashes at 8:46 a.m. [USA Today, 8/12/2002] Boston Center will receive a third transmission from Flight 11 about ten minutes later (see (8:34 a.m.) September 11, 2001).

Flight controllers hear a hijacker on Flight 11 say to the passengers: "Nobody move, please, we are going back to the airport. Don't try to make any stupid moves." [New York Times, 10/16/2001; Guardian, 10/17/2001; Boston Globe, 11/23/2001; 9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004] This is the third hijacker transmission from Flight 11 heard by Boston Center. Following the previous two transmissions, controller Pete Zalewski had put the plane's frequency on speakers so that others at the center could hear (see 8:24 a.m. September 11, 2001). This is therefore the first time some of them hear the hijacker's voice. One controller says out loud, "That is really scary." [MSNBC, 9/11/2002]

Flight controllers ask the United Airlines Flight 175 pilots to look for a lost American Airlines plane 10 miles to the south—a reference to Flight 11. They respond that they can see it. They are told to keep away from it. [Guardian, 10/17/2001; Boston Globe, 11/23/2001; 9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004] Apparently, Flight 175 is not told Flight 11 has been hijacked. Flight 175 itself is hijacked a few minutes later (see 8:41 a.m.-8:42 a.m. September 11, 2001).
Flight 175 passes from the airspace of the FAA's Boston Center to the airspace of the New York Center, which is in Ronkonkoma, New York. [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 20] New York Center air traffic controller Dave Bottiglia takes over monitoring the flight from Boston Center controller John Hartling (see (8:34 a.m.) September 11, 2001). Flight 175 waits nearly 45 seconds to check in with Bottiglia. According to author Lynn Spencer, this is "rather long, and Bottiglia is just about to call the plane." But then Captain Victor Saracini, the pilot of Flight 175, makes radio contact, saying, "New York, United 175 heavy." [Gregor, 12/21/2001 ; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36]

Victor Saracini. [Source: Family photo]Just after Flight 175 enters the airspace of the FAA's New York Center (see 8:40 a.m. September 11, 2001), its pilot reports to the air traffic controller now managing the flight a suspicious transmission he had heard on departing Boston's Logan Airport. The pilot, Captain Victor Saracini, tells the controller, Dave Bottiglia: "We figured we'd wait to go to your center. Ah, we heard a suspicious transmission on our departure out of Boston, ah, with someone, ah, it sounded like someone keyed the mikes and said, ah, 'Everyone, ah, stay in your seats.'" [New York Times, 10/16/2001; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 21; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36] Saracini is presumably referring to one of the three radio transmissions from Flight 11, where the voice of a hijacker could be heard (see 8:24 a.m. September 11, 2001 and (8:34 a.m.) September 11, 2001). However, none of these had included the hijacker telling people to stay in their seats, as Saracini describes, although the second and third transmissions included the hijacker telling the passengers, "Nobody move." [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 19] Bottiglia responds: "Oh, okay. I'll pass that along." Referring to the fact that this was the end of the transmission he heard, Saracini adds, "It cut out," and then asks Bottiglia, "Did you copy that?" [Gregor, 12/21/2001 ; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36-37] This is the last radio transmission from Flight 175. The 9/11 Commission will conclude that the plane is hijacked within the next four minutes (see (Between 8:42 a.m. and 8:46 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 20] According to author Lynn Spencer, since controllers are only given information on a need-to-know basis, Bottiglia was unaware there were problems with Flight 11, which has not yet entered his airspace. He touches his computer screen to connect to the hotline for his sector controller, and then reports: "UAL 175 just came on my frequency and he said he heard a suspicious transmission when they were leaving Boston. 'Everybody stay in your seats'—that's what he heard… just to let you know." [New York Times, 10/16/2001; Spencer, 2008, pp. 36-37]

According to the 9/11 Commission, Flight 175 is hijacked some time between 8:42—when its flight crew make their last communication with the ground—and 8:46. The Commission describes that the hijackers "used knives (as reported by two passengers and a flight attendant), Mace (reported by one passenger), and the threat of a bomb (reported by the same passenger). They stabbed members of the flight crew (reported by a flight attendant and one passenger). Both pilots had been killed (reported by one flight attendant)." These witness accounts come from phone calls made from the rear of the plane, from passengers who'd been assigned seats in the front or middle of the cabin. According to the Commission, this is "a sign that passengers and perhaps crew [are] moved to the back of the aircraft." [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 7; 9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 20] An employee at the FAA's Boston Center later says the hijacking occurs when Flight 175 is above Albany, NY, about 140 miles north of New York City. [Telegraph (Nashua), 9/12/2001; Associated Press, 9/13/2001] The first "operational evidence" that something is wrong is at 8:47, when Flight 175's transponder code changes twice within a minute (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 7]
After 9/11, NORAD and other sources will claim that NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) is notified at this time that Flight 175 has been hijacked. [Washington Post, 9/12/2001; CNN, 9/17/2001; North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001; Associated Press, 8/19/2002; Newsday, 9/10/2002] However, the FAA's New York Center, which is handling Flight 175, first alerts its military liaison about the hijacking at around 9:01 (see 9:01 a.m.-9:02 a.m. September 11, 2001). In addition, according to the 9/11 Commission, NEADS is not informed until two minutes later (see (9:03 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004] According to the Commission, the first "operational evidence" that there is something wrong on Flight 175 is not until 8:47, when its transponder code changes (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001), and it is not until 8:53 that the air traffic controller handling it concludes that Flight 175 may be hijacked (see 8:51 a.m.-8:53 a.m. September 11, 2001).

Flight 175 stops transmitting its transponder signal. It is currently flying near the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border. [Guardian, 10/17/2001; Newsday, 9/10/2002; 9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004] However, the transponder is turned off for only about 30 seconds, and then comes back on as a signal that is not designated for any plane on this day. Then, within the space of a minute, it is changed to another new code. But New York Center air traffic computers do not correlate either of these new transponder codes with Flight 175. Consequently, according to an early FAA report, "the secondary radar return (transponder) indicating aircraft speed, altitude, and flight information began to coast and was no longer associated with the primary radar return." Therefore, while controllers are able "to track the intruder easily… they couldn't identify it." However, Dave Bottiglia, the New York Center air traffic controller responsible for Flight 175, is currently trying to locate the already-crashed Flight 11, and therefore supposedly does not notice the transponder code changes on Flight 175 until 8:51 a.m. (see 8:51 a.m.-8:53 a.m. September 11, 2001). [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/17/2001 ; Washington Post, 9/17/2001; 9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 21] According to a "Flight Path Study" by the National Transportation Safety Board, the change of Flight 175's transponder code is the "first indication of deviation from normal routine." [National Transportation Safety Board, 2/19/2002 ]
Curt Applegate sitting next to his air traffic control terminal. [Source: NBC News]After being focused on Flight 11, Dave Bottiglia, an air traffic controller at the FAA's New York Center, first notices problems with Flight 175. [MSNBC, 9/11/2002; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 21] Both Flight 11 and Flight 175 have been in the airspace that Bottiglia is responsible for monitoring (see 8:40 a.m. September 11, 2001 and (8:42 a.m.-8:46 a.m.) September 11, 2001). Bottiglia has just watched Flight 11's radar blip disappear, which means the plane has dipped below his radar's coverage area, so is below 2,000 feet. But he does not yet realize it has crashed. He says aloud, "Well, we know he's not high altitude anymore." [MSNBC, 9/11/2002; Spencer, 2008, pp. 37] Around this time, Flight 175's transponder changes twice in the space of a minute (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001). Conflicting Accounts - According to MSNBC, "within seconds" of losing Flight 11's blip, "Bottiglia has another unexpected problem." While looking for Flight 11, he realizes that Flight 175 is also missing, and "instinctively… knows the two [planes] are somehow related." He asks another controller to take over all of his other planes. [MSNBC, 9/11/2002] But according to the 9/11 Commission's account, Bottiglia is still trying to locate Flight 11 after it crashes, and so it is not until 8:51 a.m. that he notices the problem with Flight 175 (see 8:51 a.m.-8:53 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 21] 'An Intruder over Allentown' - Around the time Flight 175 changes its transponder code, air traffic controller Curt Applegate, who is sitting at the radar bank next to Bottiglia's, sees a blip that might be the missing Flight 11. He shouts out: "Look. There's an intruder over Allentown." According to the Washington Post, "In air traffic jargon, an 'intruder' is a plane with an operating transponder that has entered restricted airspace without permission." In fact, it is the missing Flight 175. [Washington Post, 9/17/2001; MSNBC, 9/11/2002] However, these accounts make no mention of NORAD being notified about the problems with Flight 175 at this time. But according to a NORAD timeline released shortly after 9/11, NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) was alerted about Flight 175 by the FAA several minutes earlier, at 8:43 a.m. (see 8:43 a.m. September 11, 2001).

According to the 9/11 Commission, Dave Bottiglia, the air traffic controller handling Flight 175, only notices now that this flight's transponder signal has changed (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001). Bottiglia asks Flight 175 to return to its proper transponder code. There is no response. Beginning at 8:52 a.m., he makes repeated attempts to contact it, but there is still no response. Bottiglia contacts another controller at 8:53 a.m., and says: "We may have a hijack. We have some problems over here right now.… I can't get a hold of UAL 175 at all right now and I don't know where he went to." [New York Times, 10/16/2001; 9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004; Spencer, 2008, pp. 48] This account apparently conflicts with earlier accounts that claim NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) was notified at 8:43 a.m. that Flight 175 had been hijacked (see 8:43 a.m. September 11, 2001).

The FAA's New York Center informs the air traffic control coordinator at United Airlines' headquarters, outside Chicago, that Flight 175 is missing from radar. Although Flight 175's transponder signal changed at around 8:47 (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001), according to the 9/11 Commission the air traffic controller handling the flight only noticed the change at 8:51 (see 8:51 a.m.-8:53 a.m. September 11, 2001).

The 9/11 Commission will later conclude that the FAA's New York Center tells NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) that Flight 175 has been hijacked at this time. The Commission will refer to this as "the first indication that the NORAD air defenders had of the second hijacked aircraft." The notification is apparently received from the military liaison at the New York Center (see 9:01 a.m.-9:02 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004] NEADS Technician Announces 'Second Possible Hijack' - Tape recordings of the NEADS operations floor will reveal ID tech Stacia Rountree answering the call from the New York Center, and saying out loud, "They have a second possible hijack!" [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] Colonel Robert Marr, the NEADS battle commander, will claim he first learns that an aircraft other than Flight 11 has been hijacked when he sees Flight 175 crash into the World Trade Center on television. [Aviation Week and Space Technology, 6/3/2002] Lieutenant Colonel Dawne Deskins will claim that when she sees Flight 175 hitting the South Tower on television, "we didn't even know there was a second hijack." [Filson, 2003, pp. 59] Conflicting Accounts - However, these accounts contradict NORAD's claim that it makes shortly after 9/11 that NEADS was first notified about Flight 175 at 8:43 a.m. (see 8:43 a.m. September 11, 2001). [North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001] Additionally, as Flight 175 crashes into the WTC, Canadian Captain Mike Jellinek, who is working at NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado operations center, is on the phone with NEADS. He sees the crash live on television and asks NEADS, "Was that the hijacked aircraft you were dealing with?" The reply is yes. (However, it is unclear whether Jellinek is referring to Flight 175 or to the smoke coming from the crash of Flight 11.) [Toronto Star, 12/9/2001] If the 9/11 Commission's account is correct, several questions remain unanswered. Flight 175 lost radio contact at 8:42 a.m. (see 8:41 a.m.-8:42 a.m. September 11, 2001) and changed transponder signals at 8:47 a.m. (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001); an air traffic controller declared it possibly hijacked sometime between 8:46 a.m. and 8:53 a.m. (see (Shortly After 8:46 a.m.) September 11, 2001); and an air traffic control manager called it hijacked at 8:55 a.m.(see (8:55 a.m.) September 11, 2001). The Commission will not explain why the New York Center waits 10 to 16 minutes before warning NEADS that Flight 175 is possibly hijacked. [9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004]

United Airlines headquarters. [Source: United Airlines]Just before 9:22, United Airlines headquarters, located outside Chicago, begins the "lockout" procedure to restrict access to passenger and crew information about Flight 175. [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 26] This procedure is standard for airlines in safety and security incidents. As the 9/11 Commission will later describe, "It acknowledges an emergency on the flight and isolates information so that the case can be managed by top leadership at the airlines in a way that protects information from being altered or released, and also protects the identities of the passengers and crew." [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 12-13] This procedure begins almost 40 minutes after Flight 175 was hijacked (see (Between 8:42 a.m. and 8:46 a.m.) September 11, 2001), and about 35 minutes after the plane's transponder signal changed (see 8:46 a.m.-8:47 a.m. September 11, 2001).

Rich Miles, the manager of United Airlines' System Operations Control center outside Chicago, tries to initiate the "lockout" procedure for Flight 93, which would acknowledge an emergency on the flight and safeguard information about it, but he is unable to do so. At some time between 9:45 a.m. and 9:50 a.m., the United Airlines maintenance facility in San Francisco contacted Miles about a call it had just received from an attendant on Flight 93, reporting that her plane had been hijacked (see 9:35 a.m. September 11, 2001). In response, Miles attempts to initiate a lockout of Flight 93. Lockout is a standard procedure for airlines in safety and security incidents, which isolates information about a flight so the case can be managed by the airline's top leadership, and protects the identities of the passengers and crew. But Miles is unable activate this procedure. According to the 9/11 Commission, this is because United Airlines has already conducted a lockout of Flight 175 (see (9:21 a.m.) September 11, 2001), and its computer system is not presently set up to deal simultaneously with two such procedures.

The Team
Karim Bishay - Principal Consultant
Throughout my career, I have founded and managed companies, as well as been a part of larger teams. Over time, I noticed that my greatest successes and deepest failures always dealt with how well, or not, I worked with the people around me.
As I moved through my career, I realized more and more that this aspect of how people come together to create, produce and commit to purpose is what interested me the most.
My life's trajectory has led me to re-imagine how we come together as human beings to work, live, and be.
They say you should do for a living what you would do for free, and I've been doing this work for free for as long as I can remember. I've always been fascinated by relating to people without masks or pretense. I feel invigorated and alive when we, as humans, connect on a real, soulful level that enables us to inquire about the world and ultimately, innovate, together.
My management, facilitation, and consulting work allow me to take on the purpose of your organization, and make it my personal mission that your organization be empowered to do its work better. With more efficiency, clarity, trust, and way less politics!
I'm very passionate about disruptive systems, but not just disruption for its own sake, rather, finding ways of making right livelihood and deep, meaningful relationships with one's self and others accessible to all, not just the privilege of a few. With two masters degrees, one in theology and pastoral counseling (Highest Honors - MTS, Holy Cross 2008), and the other in business (High honors - MBA, Boston University 2010), I am also a proud graduate and former leader of Interchange Counseling Institute counseling training program.
My most recent work was with Dev Bootcamp in multiple capacities; as Head of Admissions, Engineering Empathy curriculum designer/facilitator, and Holacracy Engagement Lead.
I live in the city I love, Oakland CA, with my wife and son... my family means the world to me...

Why Karim Created Living Orgs
Creating Adaptive Organizations
Over time, I began to realize that many of the methods, tactics and tools I was using in my Holacracy consulting were equally as valuable to companies not using the full Holacracy system.
This lead to me beginning to consult with other companies who were struggling with delegation, project management and accountability within their organizations. Slowly, I started working with other companies who had no interest in Holacracy but just wanted to have a more effective organization.
Every time I finish an engagement with an organization, I feel a sense of satisfaction in my work, because I see the drastic differences it makes in the organization and the lives of everyone involved.
How we discovered Holacracy
While working at Dev Bootcamp we adopted Holacracy. Even though I was one of its greatest doubters at first, I quickly grew to love the potential of this system, and over time, I found deep meaning and fulfillment in helping others do the same.
From this experience, I saw a need for Holacracy coaches that understand the power of the system, while still remembering what it's like to struggle with it. Someone who appreciates its nuances and what it can offer, but also practical about its limitations.
I saw the need and potential to customize the tools of Holacracy to fit each individual team's needs. This is why I founded Living Orgs and why I love working with clients around the world in bringing them closer to their purpose and to their full potential as a team.
