Skip to comments.Minn. Metrodome collapses in Midwest blizzard
Posted on 12/12/2010 7:32:11 AM PST by mandaladon
MINNEAPOLIS A storm that spanned parts of eight states continued to dump heavy snow in the upper Midwest on Sunday, collapsing the Metrodome in Minneapolis and forcing numerous road closures.
The storm was moving eastward a day after it dumped 20 inches of snow in some places. A Sunday NFL football game between the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings had already been pushed to Monday because the Giants couldn't get to Minneapolis to play when the inflatable Metrodome collapsed Sunday. It's uncertain when that game will now be played.
A blizzard warning was in effect Sunday for Chicago and much of northern Illinois, all of Iowa, large sections of southern Minnesota and Wisconsin, and smaller areas in North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri and Michigan, according to the National Weather Service. Most of the rest of the region was under a winter storm warning or a hard freeze watch.
Wisconsin authorities issued a statewide no-travel advisory Saturday, citing blizzard and winter storm warnings in nearly every county.

"Minn. Metrodome collapses in Midwest blizzard"
Global Warming is ruining football.
I tell you, much more of this Global Warming and we're all going to find ourselves in a new ice age!
Wife and I went out on the lake in our fishing boat last Friday...
this has happened before....the roof is basically a soft tent and the dome is pressurized to keep it inflated.
no being a football fan, I thought it was scrapped after the Twins moved out a little over a year ago after the 09 division series.
Yep. We haven't had a lot of snow here in North-Central IL, but the blowing is causing white-out conditions. Wife didn't drive in to Rockford today for work. Another employee for the same business in DeKalb tried to get there from Rochelle, but stopped in Creston, 6 miles away, in a panic. She's back home now. Anyone trying to drive outside of residential areas should think again.
Yes, for decades, global-warming models have been predicting that increased evaporation off the Pacific would lead to increased snowfall in the Upper Midwest, you can't use an individual event like this to claim as support. Fact is, this might have happened even without global warming.
If it isn't global warming, then it is the lockouts next season.
Symbolic of the Vikings' year.
Intentionally deflated. From this article:
Officials at the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, which operates the dome, said two triangle panels on the north end of the stadium are damaged. Officials intentionally deflated the dome.
"You deflate it so you don't lose the entire roof," said Bill Lester, executive director of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission. "But that's all we're going to talk about until we get some more detail."
First, "Global Warming" crashes the Metrodome roof....then later this week....Disney World will be hit by temps in the mid-20's and possible wind chills near zero.
Where is Al Gore when you need him....
Favre gets another day to heal to keep his streak alive.
The game may be moved to another dome somewhere..Detroit, St. Louis, or Indy. Giants did not bring long undies so can't play outdoors at TCF stadium (UofM stadium).
It's way too cold here to play football outside anyway.
it should have an electric heating element. If properly powered it could handle it
With the storm dumping nearly two feet on parts of the Twin Cities, the snow was accumulating on the Metrodome roof Saturday night.
"It was an extraordinar situation involving Mother Nature that the Dome's roof couldn't handle," Terwilliger said.
He said normal procedures were being followed Saturday, with workers on the roof itself using steam and hot water to melt and remove snow. Also, the heat inside the Dome was turned up and hot air was pumped into the in-between layers.
"That didn't work," Terwilliger said.
"Then it got dangerous for personnel up on the roof and we decided for the sake of safety to take them off," he said.
So, now I won't find out if I am in my Fantasy Football playoffs until later in the week? AP has been causing me problems all year.
Favre needs two more games to get the 300th consecutive game.
A Sunday NFL football game between the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings had already been pushed to Monday because the Giants couldn't get to Minneapolis to play when the inflatable Metrodome collapsed Sunday. It's uncertain when that game will now be played.The collapsing hopes of two teams, collapsed Metrodome, it couldn't be more apropos. Thanks mandaladon. :')
Vikings QB Brett Favre texted Ed Werder that, if today's game had kicked off when scheduled, he would not have played.
5 minutes ago via web
Al gore's climate model his theory is based on did not allow for any colder winters. It was supposed to progressively get warmer each year, hence less snow. Only after the weather pattern did not match the climate model did gore "adjust " his model to explain the decrease in temperature.
So how big a heater would it take to warm a couple of acres of dome enough to melt the snow off?
Sure hope the NFL suffer a similar fate for scheduling the 2014 Super Bowl at the New Giants stadium.
You want to know the temperature of the snow T0 (guess -10C), the latent heat of melting of water c_l, the heat capacity of snow c, the top area of the dome A, the predicted snowfall depth per hour, and calculate it
Heehee, looks like God is a Favre fan. ;)
The NFL wants Favre to play, so they will move the game to another dome. Fox equipment will be already at Detroit from Pack game today. This is not good for the Giants who are still in the hunt. Philly next Sunday and at Pack after.
This liberal from up Minnesota said the temp is 2 degrees up where she is from.
I said well that disproves global warming.
And she said her usual liberal/democrat talking points about how global warming causes places to cool! LOL.
Then I added :"well actually an Ice Age is coming and your sate won't be there anymore!"

just get a bunch of extension cords and a couple hundred hair dryers then......
No, this is catastrophic global climate change.
It's caused by rich people who don't share with the poor people, and can be stopped instantly by men in suits signing a piece of paper.
So... where will they play?
Back in New York maybe??
It didn't get installed, and during the life of the radar test program we were ice free, so I'll never know (thank the Lord).
Wow. Talk about an act of God!
Yes, that is why we have Aaron Rodgers LOL!!!!

I'm sorry, but that excuse fails the "too f'in bad" test. Why can't their equipment guys head back to NJ today, pack up the cold weather gear, and get it to Minnesota by the end of the day or tomorrow morning at worst???
Since when did "NFL" stand for "No Fowl-Weather League"?
In Cancun freezing his ample derriere off. LOL! HAHAHA!
We have seen the Metrodish here at least three other times in the early 80s.
Maybe a vicious conspiracy to force us to build a new stadium at taxpayer expense because the entertainment industry called football needs our support in the form of corporate welfare. Of maybe 17 inches of snow and 40 MPH winds. One or the other.
Wonder what this will do to the push for a new stadium at taxpayer expense, eh, Zigy?
This would be just a chilly game in Green Bay...
>>>just get a bunch of extension cords and a couple hundred hair dryers then......
Convene the state legislature at the dome and let them talk...
Yes, thus the change from Gluoobell Wharming to Clllimatttte Chaaange.
Global Cooling is coming! We need to burn more fossil fuels immediately!
LOL!!! Hope Rodgers kicks butt today. We live in Gnu Yak and since the Giants/Favre Pity Party got cancelled we can get the game here!
Part of the plan to get a new stadium at taxpayer's expense.

The primary reason for visiting Česk� Budĕjovice was just outside town, about 8 kilometers away - a 13th century 141 room castle modeled after England's Windsor Castle but first we stopped at the town itself..
Česk� Budĕjovice was built in 1265 and is famous primarily as the hometown of Budweiser Beer. (Budweiser.... Budĕjovice... it's kinda close...) The primary architectural symbol of the town is the Black Tower
After visiting the town we drove out to Hlubok� nad Vltavou to see the castle. Unfortunately my digital camera's battery ran out of juice so I have no digital photos of the castle which was impressive. All those photos are on slide film which isn't developed so I can't share those photos. You'll just have to take my word for it that it was impressive.
We then started looking for a place to spend the night. Every pension we tried was full except one that was charging more than we wanted to pay so we kept looking. At the last pension we tried the owner asked if we spoke German (and he asked in German) because he didn't speak English. (Up to this point our English had gotten us by quite nicely since neither Bruxi nor I speak any Czech.) I started exercising my poor German with him and it turned out that his pension was full, too, but he had a friend in the area who had a room he rented out. He called his friend for us who came to lead us to his house. In spite of the poor quality of my German we were able to use it to accomplish what we needed.
While we were waiting the owner of the pension tried to interest us in various items he had for sale in his antique store next door to the pension but we weren't buying. Eventually his friend arrived and led us to his home where he showed us an entirely adequate room at a reasonable price that even included a small kitchen. The only drawback was that they did not include breakfast. Under the circumstances it was not a big deal. We went back into town fo find a restaurant for dinner and stopped at a grocery store where we bought some food that would serve as breakfast for us in the morning.

Skip to comments.Cold River: A Case Study (A Blogger Uncovers Arafat's Murder of U.S. Diplomats)
Posted on 12/31/2006 8:00:40 PM PST by Zack Nguyen
In June 2002 I wrote a column for the Minneapolis Star Tribune regarding Yasser Arafat's responsibility for the 1973 assassination of two United States State Department officers -- Ambassador Cleo Noel and charge d'affaires Curtis Moore -- in Khartoum, Sudan. The column was based on accounts of the events in David Korn's Assassination in Khartoum, Neil Livingstone and David Halevy's Inside the PLO, and the testimony of former National Security Agency analyst Jim Welsh. Welsh has doggedly purused the story for over thirty years as a result of his personal involvement in disseminating a warning relating to the communications intercepted by the NSA in 1973.
While researching my column in 2002, I sought out a State Department spokesman for a comment. I sent an e-mail message with a draft of my column to State Department Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs deputy director of press affairs Gregory Sullivan. I wrote Sullivan:
I have been leaving messages with you and other department officers over the past day or two seeking any information about department efforts to bring to justice Yasser Arafat and others involved in the 1973 assassination of former American Ambassador to Sudan...Cleo Noel and his charge d'affaires, George Curtis Moore. Attached is the op-ed piece I have written on the subject, including criticism of the Department for its apparent inaction...regarding its own former officers. If my assertions regarding the Department's inaction are wrong, I would like to rewrite the piece to make it accurate. I wonder if you would be willing to take a moment to review the piece and provide me with any information on behalf of the department if I am mistaken.
In response Sulllivan wrote:
I can't say I'm impressed with your research or argumentation. You're obviously writing a piece designed to elicit a certain reaction rather than one based on factual accounts or actual comments made by the U.S. government. I really don't have the time to do the research for you, but I do find myself compelled to point out...Evidence clearly points to the terrorist group Black September as having committed the assassinations of Amb. Noel and George Moore, and though Black September was a part of the Fatah movement, the linkage between Arafat and this group has never been established.
Following the publication of my column in the Star Tribune, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for State Department cables and reports on the assassination of Ambassador Noel. A year later in July 2003 -- I received copies of 27 previously classified cables, all dating to 1973. The cables directly contradicted the Departments assertion that Arafats connection to Black September and to the assassinations was in doubt. I told the story of my encounter with the State Department and related the content of the cables in "Who murdered Cleo Noel?"
This past June the State Department finally gave an accurate historical account of the incident through its Office of the Historian. The Office of the Historian posted the following account of the Khartoum operation:
In the early evening hours of 1 March 1973, eight Black September Organization (BSO) terrorists seized the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum as a diplomatic reception honoring the departing United States Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) was ending. After slightly wounding the United States Ambassador and the Belgian Charge d'Affaires, the terrorists took these officials plus the United States DCM, the Saudi Arabian Ambassador and the Jordanian Charge d'Affaires hostage. In return for the freedom of the hostages, the captors demanded the release of various individuals, mostly Palestinian guerrillas, imprisoned in Jordan, Israel and the United States.
The Khartoum operation was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval of Yasir Arafat, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and the head of Fatah. Fatah representatives based in Khartoum participated in the attack, using a Fatah vehicle to transport the terrorists to the Saudi Arabian Embassy.
Initially, the main objective of the attack appeared to be to secure the release of Fatah/BSO leader Muhammed Awadh (Abu Da'ud) from Jordanian captivity. Information acquired subsequently reveals that the Fatah/BSO leaders did not expect Awadh to be freed, and indicates that one of the primary goals of the operation was to strike at the United States because of its efforts to achieve a Middle East peace settlement which many Arabs believe would be inimical to Palestinian interests.
Negotiations with the BSO terrorist team were conducted primarily by the Sudanese Ministers of Interior and of Health. No effort was spared, within the capabilities of the Sudanese Government, to secure the freedom of the hostages. The terrorists extended their deadlines three times, but when they became convinced that their demands would not be met and after they reportedly had received orders from Fatah headquarters in Beirut, they killed the two United States officials and the Belgian Charge. Thirty-four hours later, upon receipt of orders from Yasir Arafat in Beirut to surrender, the terrorists released their other hostages unharmed and surrendered to Sudanese authorities.
The Khartoum operation again demonstrated the ability of the BSO to strike where least expected. The open participation of Fatah representatives in Khartoum in the attack provides further evidence of the Fatah/BSO relationship. The emergence of the United States as a primary fedayeen target indicates a serious threat of further incidents similar to that which occurred in Khartoum.
The PLO had given the name "Cold River" to the operation and Arafat received a coded message confirming the assassinations by reference to "Cold River." Today, if you look hard, "Cold River" is back in the news. The State Department has declassified another document telling the story I found in the 1973 cables three years ago. At the New York Sun blog It Shines For All Daniel Freedman reports: "Declassified State Department document: Arafat reponsible for storming of embassy and murder of Americans in 1973."
When we revisited this story in June at the time the Office of the Historian published its account, John Hinderaker wrote:
[T]his whole incident illustrates why most conservatives have so little confidence in the State Department. The Americans who were brutally murdered by Yasir Arafat's thugs were State's own employees. And yet, for years the department covered for Arafat. Why?
The question stands.
For the sake of our national interest I am willing to talk to countries and leaders whom we find detestable. But when you kill our people...to me that is when the conversation should end. Yet we continued to treat Arafat as a legitimate statesman for the next thirty years! And what has it bought us in Palestine? Absolutely nothing! They hate us and hate Israel more than ever, and the situation is just as unstable. The State Department spokesman's rather snooty response to the author's inquiry was just inexcusable in my view.
I would urge you to visit the link, which is extensively hotlinked.
Comments welcomed.
Well, I'm afraid the short version is that the State Department is despicable, and has always been despicable.
Back some 400 years ago an Englishman wrote that "an ambassador is someone who lies abroad for his country."
The State Department can't even manage to do that. They don't lie for our country, they lie for some involuted bureaucratic goal that only they could possibly understand.
Well, I would hesitate to paint with such a broad brush, as I have known some very patriotic diplomats who love their country. I would say, however, that those directing our foreign policy towards Arafat made a terroible mistake in ordering everyone to act as if these murders didn't happen.
Black September ping
Thanks for bringing this back. We had a post here when Larry Elder was discussing this on his show -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/647406/posts
Thank you very much Doug. I think our practicality should end where the life and limb of our people begin.
" They don't lie for our country, they lie for some involuted bureaucratic goal that only they could possibly understand."
The State dept is supposed to represent us to other nations. Somewhere along the line, they decided their job was to represent other nations to us. Sort on an in house UN, and every bit as untrustworthy.
NSA op seeks to expose Arafat
Appeals to Kissinger in latest whistle-blowing effort
Posted: March 13, 2002
1:00 a.m. Eastern
© 2002 WorldNetDaily.com
A former National Security Agency Palestinian communications analyst in the Middle East is appealing to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in his latest effort to blow the whistle on Yasser Arafat's role in the murder of two U.S. diplomats in Sudan in 1973.
James J. Welsh, a former NSA Palestinian analyst, broke his vow of silence last year to charge the U.S. government was hiding recordings of Arafat planning and directing the murders of U.S. Ambassador Cleo Noel, diplomat Charge d'Affaires George Curtis Moore and Belgian Guy Eid March 2, 1973.
After telling his story first in WorldNetDaily, Welsh took his campaign a step further last spring urging U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., and all members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to demand the executive branch find the tapes, transcripts and summaries of the radio transmissions between Arafat and his Black September terrorists and make them public.
"Over the years I have kept my silence about what I know about this tragic episode," Welsh told WorldNetDaily at the time. "But recently I began to wonder how recent administrations could overlook something as terrible as this in our dealings with Yasser Arafat. I have decided that my oaths of secrecy must give way to my sense of right and wrong."
Welsh sent a letter detailing his charges to all members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee March 27. He sent another to Hyde March 31 after reading of the congressman's call to re-examine U.S. policy toward the Palestinian Authority headed by Arafat. Despite the raging violence in the Mideast, the pleas by Welsh were met with stony silence.
Now Welsh is appealing to the conscience and, perhaps, ego of Kissinger.
"There is not much point in beating around the bush," Welsh writes in his letter to Kissinger. "I was the NSA Palestinian communications analyst at the time (and had been since 1970). I was one of the three persons who drafted the warning message for the Khartoum Embassy that was downgraded to routine priority and arrived too late to alert our embassy of the impending operation. ... We both know the truth of Arafat's involvement in the murders."
Welsh asks Kissinger why 29 years later he still has not spoken or written of the truth in the matter. He also asks why Kissinger reportedly ordered the destruction or removal of all State Department and National Security Council files pertaining to the matter.
"To be fair, I too never discussed my knowledge of the operation all these years," Welsh writes. "I knew the truth. But in late 2000, I finally began to question why, of all the persons in the world, Yasser Arafat was exempt, by deliberate decision of our government, from the consequences of his ordering the murders of these two diplomats."
Welsh continues: "One truly wonders what the landscape of Israel would be like today if Arafat's complicity had been released into the public sector. I think American public opinion would have rendered a strong disapproval, long ago, of this man ever being a partner for peace."
Welsh says the truth will eventually be revealed and calls on Kissinger to explain, beforehand, why he withheld this information from the American people.
The history of this affair began on Feb. 28, 1973, when Welsh was summoned by a colleague about a communication intercepted from Arafat involving an imminent Black September operation in Khartoum. Within minutes, Welsh recalls, the NSA director was notified and the decision was made to send a rare "FLASH" message the highest priority to the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum via the State Department.
But the message didn't reach the embassy in time. Somewhere between the NSA and the State Department, someone decided the warning was too vague. The alert was downgraded in urgency.
The next day, eight members of the Black September terrorist organization stormed the Saudi Embassy in Khartoum, took Noel, Moore and others hostage. A day later, the U.S. diplomats and Eid were machine-gunned to death all, Welsh charges, on the direct orders of Arafat.
Welsh left the Navy and NSA in 1974, keeping quiet about the incident for more than a quarter-century. But no longer.
"These tapes do exist," he says. "I participated in their production. But no one has ever been willing to come forward and acknowledge their existence. I know Yasser Arafat was a direct player in the murder of our diplomats and so has every U.S. administration since Richard Nixon's."
Earlier stories:
Ex-NSA op asks Congress to probe Arafat murders
Is U.S. hiding Arafat murders?
We know, even during the Bush administration, that the State dept thought blowing up Israelis was different from blowing up Americans. Now it looks like they thought Americans were Arafat fodder, too.
Thank you for that excellent article.
This is a risk that occurs in any "representation" capacity -- be it diplomacy, or regulation...or even advertising and sales.
Representatives should intimately know the wants and needs of the host country, regulated industry, client or customer. Sometimes, though, there is a tendency for the representative to relate to the host, client or customer -- to his country's, or constituency's, or employer's detriment.
It is the role of management to insure that this tendency is suppressed. In the diplomatic trade, it's called "going native". In sales, it's called "taking the customer's side". It's one of the reasons for "rotation" -- changing a diplomat's country, an agent's account or a saleman's territory.
Obviously, it has been a long time since State Department management exercised their responsibility in this regard.
Or, now that I think of it, in any other regard, as well.
Well said.
I beg to differ with the "a blogger uncovers" line. This has been known for decades!! I knew it myself many years ago.
I for one am glad this story is coming out, thank you for working on it.
I have the WND version posted on the World of Terrorism thread and did several Google searches on it, that are posted, it is at:

Ping for later read.
I really don't have the time to do the research for you, but I do find myself compelled ...What an arrogant jerk!
This, and all similar questions, have a simple answer.
There is a power rising in the East. This power seeks our destruction.
Removal of this power from the earth requires military and civilian effort on a larger scale that WW II.
No American elected official could survive advocating such an effort.
Therefore, there are three choices to make.
1) Surrender
2) Appease
3) Deny
Our policy towards Islam has been a combination of all 3 since 1968.
To these three, George W. Bush has added a fourth - make a military demonstration and hope that It's A Small World After All.
"There is a power rising in the East. This power seeks our destruction."
Here is an index of descriptions of some rooskie documents in english.....but the docs remain in russian.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
if these step sound familiar, you likely have a long read at the link.....there are 4 pages total, indexed on the left side of the page linked below.
Step 3) The Communists can now count on the U.S. State Department to pressure the target government to begin giving in to the revolutionaries, supposedly for the sake of human rights. The regime offers compromises, including political reforms, the release of captured terrorists, and military cease-fires, which allow the terrorists to regroup and seize territory. But the revolutionaries also increase their demands, taking advantage of the governments weakened image.
Step 4) As the government loses prestige, the Communists escalate the revolutionary violence and general unrest. They organize mass demonstrations, which agitators turn into riots. Labor unions go on strike, building toward a general labor strike that cripples the entire economy. Marxist professors in the universities indoctrinate and recruit naive youth, who join the growing ranks of Communists and terrorists. And some Communist agents even infiltrate local religious organizations, masquerading as priests or other clergy so as to neutralize opposition and recruit more people into the revolution. This can be seen, for example, in the Liberation Theology movement in the Catholic and Protestant churches, which teaches that Jesus was a Marxist revolutionary. Liberation Theology is active today in many parts of Latin America, Africa, and the far East.
Step 5) Since the Communists are only a tiny minority of the population, they must create the illusion of popular support. By waging terrorist warfare against the very people they claim to be liberating, the revolutionaries can frighten the people into passive or even active support of the revolution. In China and Nicaragua, the Communists murdered peasant farmers in rural villages; in Algeria, they maimed and killed Arab muslims; in Northern Ireland, they have killed thousands of Catholics while kneecapping thousands more with guns and electric drills;56 in South Africa, they have burned to death many hundreds of blacks with necklaces tires soaked in gasoline, placed around the victims neck, and lit on fire.57 The revolutionaries accuse the victims of collaborating with the government, sending a powerful message to the rest of the population not to resist.
Step 6) Now the Communists are ready to enter the final phase of their revolution. With the target government steadily losing control over the country, the revolutionaries step up general terrorist violence while simultaneously negotiating for a new government. To accomplish this, the Communists often must split their revolutionary movement into two wings: an extremely violent faction pretending to oppose any peace agreement, and a more political faction that projects an image of pragmatism. The two factions secretly coordinate their activities, carrying out a good cop/bad cop scenario. Frightened by the escalating terrorism of the revolutionaries, the government makes concessions to the seemingly moderate faction, hoping to discourage the forces of violence. As the Communists tighten the vise, the government bargains away its remaining strength.
Step 7) Finally, in the name of democracy and human rights, the U.S. State Department withdraws its support from the embattled regime, using diplomatic pressure to force out the old government entirely and replace it with another. The Communists have by this time maneuvered themselves into position to join the new coalition government. Because this new regime is weak and divided, the Communists quickly move to consolidate total power for themselves. Their naive liberal allies are executed, followed by systematic mass terror against the whole population. A Communist regime has been imposed.
These seven steps describe the pattern of a war of national liberation. This strategy has been used, with slight variations, against almost every nation now under Communism, and is well under way for many remaining non-Communist nations.58 As we have seen, terrorism is a cornerstone of this strategy. snip
And to you as well!
You are welcome.
I hope that some of it is useful to you.
Zack, I don't mean some of the political appointees, because they can be either very good or very bad depending on who appointed them. I'm thinking, in particular, of the career Arabists, or many of the career Latin Americanists. There are always exceptions to the rule, and also those who are well meaning but go with the flow, but the general record is pretty dismal. You can see by the waves that are made when a good person is put in charge of these areas and is immediately hit by backbiting, leaks to the leftist press, and congressional investigations by the Democrats. And then it becomes almost impossible to confirm them to any new posts.
You are referring to John Bolton, right? Yes, I was disheartened that the President gave up on him. If we absolutely must have a UN Ambassador I could think of no better one.
"Arabists" anywhere irritate me to no end. I just can't see supporting groups that won't even recognize Israel's right to exist.
Yes, Bolton is a good example. And there have been a few others with similar backgrounds.
I didn't mean to sound too negative. I think you have done excellent work with this exposure. We can't afford to give up trying to make things better.
I have known a few top people in the CIA (which they didn't talk about themselves but I happened to know), and for the most part they appear to be patriots.
Thank you! Happy New Year.
Why was the FOIA request not filed before publication? Seems cart-before-horse to me.
The State Department was infiltrated by Soviet agents early on and has been for decades.
the great mizz/Dr condoleezza rice's education is "russian studies"
The Madeline Albright-Condoleezza Rice Connection? The fascinating, but true story of two women mentored by the same man, Madeline Albright's father, Dr. Josef Korbel, is highlighted in an op-ed piece today in (of all places) the Searcy, Arkansas, Daily Citizen. This "it's a small world" story is truly remarkable and mentioned in the biographies listed on the links page of this website. Dr. Korbel was a Czech diplomat given asylum in the US during World War II and subsequently became a professor at the University of Denver, Dr. Rice's alma mater.
If THAT gets your attention, have a look at THIS:

I don't always believe in lefty/lefty righty/righty matchups, but when it do, it's because of hitters like Ethier.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Audrey Brooke Studded Clutch in Black
"Cute little purse. I bought this clutch to replace a Guess clutch I carried around until it started to fall apart. Although I had read the size dimensions, it is still a little bigger than I had expected (which is great for me...oversized clutches are a great styling option for the day!), and the leather is super soft. I was a little 'iffy' on the studs (I prefer a sleeker design, but for the price/size, I could not find anything less expensive in leather), but they are starting to grow on me, and I like the fact that they are a silver tone vice gold. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that the description reads that the wristlet strap is removable...it is and it isn't. It is more accurately adjustable; the hook on the wristlet came attached to the other side of the clutch so it looked like a mini shoulder bag. You can wear it like that, I suppose, or like a wristlet as pictured. I was hoping that it would detach completely, so that I could wear it 'only' as a clutch, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I came back to DSW.com to purchase the yellow until I read the color description is lime green, so Ill just stick with the black!"

Cute, pattern in person looks great
"Very cute shoe and the pattern translates well from photo to in person. I love the openess on the inside of the shoes, but the outside I was unsure of at first because I felt like my foot was almost too wide and hanging over the edge and I do not have wide feet. If you do have wide feet, that might be a problem for you. They are a little stiff out of the box, but feel like they should break in after a few wears."

Don't think-BUY THEM!
"I love these flats because of the texture and unique pattern. The footbed is slightly padded and the fit was almost just right. "Almost" because I think I could have gone down half a size for a more snug fit, but my usual size also fits. I love that the material is actual cloth (canvas?) rather than shiny plastic."

On Christmas Eve, seven people were shot in the city of Chicago. The media made little mention of the shootings, since they're now routine in Chicago -- the city has seen some 500 shootings in 2012 alone. The vast majority of the shooters are black, and the vast majority of the victims are black. Many of the victims are under the age of 18: Anton Sanders, 15, shot on Jan. 20; Deshun Winfert, 15, shot on Feb. 5; Damion Rolle, 14, shot on Feb. 21; George Howard and Albert Guyton, both 15, shot on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28; the list goes on. A few are under age 10. You've never heard of any of them.
But when an evil white person with a history of mental instability shoots up a school, killing 20 children, most of whom were white, the media is suddenly concerned with gun control.
Perhaps that's because the media is racist. Or perhaps it's something else. If the media pays attention to the shootings in Chicago, it will have to talk about the fact that Chicago is heavily gun controlled. It will have to discuss the fact that guns are illegally flowing into areas of heavy gun violence. And it will have to talk about the impact of social ills like single motherhood, gang recruitment and poor public education.
Instead, the media focuses on Sandy Hook, Aurora and Columbine. Focusing on such statistically aberrant scenarios rather than the more widespread gun violence that plagues our cities allows the media to target one of its most hated groups: the National Rifle Association.
So what does that have to do with Chicago versus Sandy Hook? The media knows that in all shooting scenarios, the conversation quickly polarizes into two positions: ban guns or discuss other myriad social and legal issues that lead to shootings. In communities plagued by high levels of social ills like Chicago, the second position is the more obvious one. In cases of placid communities getting shot up by a nutcase, the left can talk gun bans more easily.
It's far harder to stop Sandy Hook than it is to stop violence in Chicago. But the left doesn't like the possible solutions in Chicago. They prefer to destroy their competition. So the shootings in Chicago will continue. So, in all likelihood, will incidents like Sandy Hook, thanks in large part to the left's focus on destroying its enemies rather than preventing acts of evil.

How To Be Awesome: An Introduction
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2011
Answering all of life's questions. Plus props. By Lou Sanders as seen on BBC3, ITV4 & in your dreams
Older Comments
Chris - 10/08/2011
I found this show to be an utter joy. It's fun and unique. What good comedy is about.
Rex - 10/08/2011
I was recommended this show by a friend who has the same taste in comedy as me: Vic and Bob, Tim and Eric, early Steve Martin Films. Basically, the more absurd the better. I hadn't ever really seen a female comic do my kind of comedy. Until I saw Lou Sanders last night who nails it! and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. She's mad. In a brilliant way. I love the whole show. I know I have enjoyed a comedy gig when I leave feeling exhausted and euphoric from so much laughing. She reminded me of when I used to go and watch Phil Kay or Jason Byrne about 6 years ago. Highly recommended to anyone who likes mad comedy. 5 Stars for me.
Flanders - 05/08/2011
Health warning: this room is hot so be preparred to sweat, very uncomfortable. I really feel this comedian has missed her calling, if she adapted the same show for children and their parents it would be more age appropriate; but as a so called 'feminist comedian' this show only delivers mild laughs and little considerable comedic narrative (and sadly no angry nor political commentary). Result: this show is a no go.

It's official - it's my love at first tasting!!!! Amazing taste and healthy ingredients. I have already ordered another one of Annie's dressings.
Another great annie's product
Posted by odereviews on Sep 14, 2013
You can't go wrong with the Annie's naturals dressings. Great taste. Too bad that these are in glas bottles. Adds too much weight for international orders.
Posted by Reviewer2641684 on Nov 15, 2011
This dressing is really good. I was looking for a replacement for artificial Kraft ranch dressing and this is a good alternative. I also enjoy Annie's green garlic dressing.
Really love this dressing! ♥♥♥ Click on my username for more reviews!
Posted by gettingwell on Jul 10, 2013
This is awesome dressing. I like how it tastes sort of like ranch but has more of a tang to it maybe because of the apple cider vinager. I'm glad I have something that doesn't have citris acid in it and sugar. I'll be keeping this in stock. Thanks to iherb too for getting me my orders in 2-3 days!
nice dressing

This is a great replacement for heavier ranch type dressings. Organic dressings at a reasonable price are hard to find in Japan. Will order again.

There should be a law: Against having to listen to the same old jokes, stories and memories of old people who forgot they already said that; To throw out leftovers after the second day so nobody has to eat them; Against trapping cats and taking them to the pound where they charge $50 to redeem them and if nobody does they put them down; Against keeping children from living in senior mobile home parks, as the residents could use a smile and a little bit of happiness once in a while.
There should also be a law against getting old, when getting out of bed hurts every bone and muscle and the only fun is waiting for the social security check to come in the mail once a month. When I was 8 years old, I walked down a dusty road on a Sunday morning to go to the one Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints church way up a big hill; it was my day to get baptized and my sins were going to be washed away, so I would have to be careful never to sin again. What a joy to be so innocent, so naive, and to live in a small town where that might have almost been possible. I want to move back home.
After 74 years of living in many big cities, and now seeing the news where little kids are kidnapped and murdered nearly every day�terrorists are scaring everybody with threats daily�money always runs out the last week of every month. We live in a sterile mobile home park for senior citizens where they trap every cat which walks across anyone's yard. They take them either to the pound where nobody can afford the $50 to redeem them, or else they dump the cats in the hills and deserts to die.
I remember Ferron, where my Mama and Daddy fed and took care of every cat and kitten born to "Mitzy" our calico cat. We fed the whole bunch fresh, warm milk and leftover biscuits and gravy and meat scraps. At one time my dad decided Mitzy had to quit having kittens so he took her clear over to Huntington and dumped her out (without Mama knowing about it.) Guess what? Mitzy walked back home and nobody ever did that awful thing again. At one time we had about 30 cats and kittens living in the barns and haystacks.
I remember the last time I lived in Ferron (I was getting old by then) they were so kind to us old folks, they even let us drive to town without speeding past us or trying to run us off the road into a ditch.
I remember all the fun and happiness of neighbors and friends who loved each other and took care of each other and forgave the sin of getting old and infirm and shaky.
God bless the good old days and the good hometown folks!

U.S. boxing coach Dan Campbell retired Friday after his attempt to remake the American team backfired in Beijing with its worst showing in Olympic history.
Campbell, a 65-year-old veteran of the amateur boxing ranks in Virginia Beach, Va., had been the national director of coaching for USA Boxing since 2005.
He was in charge of the nine American fighters in Beijing, winning just one medal. The U.S. team hadn't left the Olympics with fewer than two medals since 1948, when it won one silver.
Heavyweight Deontay Wilder's bronze was the only prize for the U.S. program, which has won but one gold medal in the last three games.
"We all share the disappointment of our team's performance in China, and look forward to establishing a fresh start for our coaching program in advance of London," USA Boxing chief executive Jim Millman said.
Campbell didn't immediately return a phone call.
He spent the last year under heavy criticism from inside and outside the team, primarily for his decision to institute a residency training program that confined U.S. boxers to Colorado Springs for most of the last year.
Campbell wanted to prepare his fighters for the international style of boxing with specific coaching and training methods. The fighters complained about the exclusion of personal coaches and travel restrictions that kept them from family and friends.
At least two fighters - Luis Yanez and Javier Molina - left the team for extended periods without permission. Yanez was kicked off the team for three weeks in July after failing to show up for most of June.
World champions Demetrius Andrade and Rau'shee Warren were upset early in Beijing, and bantamweight medal hopeful Gary Russell Jr. didn't even compete after failing to make weight before the games. Wilder won two fights to qualify for a bronze medal but was soundly beaten by Italian world champion Clemente Russo.
Yanez openly criticized Campbell's coaching and discipline during the summer, telling The Associated Press he would refuse to listen to Campbell during his fights in Beijing. Yanez, whom Campbell called "one of the biggest liars I've ever met," then openly ignored Campbell's coaching in his second-round loss to Mongolia's Serdamba Purevdorj.
Millman plans changes for the U.S. team's approach to the 2012 London Games. He intends to involve the fighters' personal coaches to a greater degree, although he hasn't said if the residency program will be reinstated.

The Spirit Rock is now in place at Emery High thanks to the kindness and generosity of Wayne and John Nielson as well as Nielson Construction employees.
Student body president, Kaitlin Potter came up with the idea of the Spirit Rock as an extension of the Mighty Emery Student Section fondly known as MESS. The MESS section was on hand at all home games for boys and girls basketball as well as many away games and the state championship games. This student section greatly increased the school spirit. The students in the entire school were given a MESS T-shirt which they wore to each game and many added their own decorative touches to the shirts.
The student section was loud and mighty at the games and greatly increased the confidence of the Emery team on the basketball court. A great feeling of camaraderie was experienced by students, faculty and parents alike.
Potter along with school principal Larry Davis and student council advisor Neal Peacock said, "We here at Emery High School would like to thank Nielson Construction for all of the time, machinery, manpower, and money that you donated so generously in providing us with a huge Spirit Rock. As you know the 'Rock' is 11' by 9' by 8' and weighs 75,000 pounds, and was donated, transported by truck, and set in place by crane by your company and with the time and talents of your employees.
"This 'Rock' will sit outside the Spartan Center for years to come (probably centuries to come) and will have a large block letter 'E' chiseled into it to become a lasting symbol of Emery High School. We have arranged to have permanent lighting placed near it so that on nights of victories, on graduation night, on prom night and on other important occasions we can 'light the Rock.' We will encourage students to paint and decorate the 'Rock' for important events. Our ultimate hope is that this rock will become a focal point for school spirit at Emery High School
"We could not have done this without your kind donations. We also appreciate the time of your employees and particularly the good work and great attitude of Devin LeRoy.
"Thanks, again for this sacrifice and thanks for all that you and your company do for our schools and communities. You are appreciated," said Potter, Davis and Peacock.
The school envisions the Spirit Rock to undergo many paint jobs and decorations over the coming years.
The Spirit Rock is in place directly in front of the Spartan Center and visible from the highway. The Spirit Rock has already undergone its first change with the painting of a dragon and other artwork upon the rock by Chris Clarke with the encouragement of his friends, Cory Collard, Darin Hunsinger, and Cameron Jorgensen.
The morning the rock came to its final resting place at Emery High, it was greeted by the student council and other interested students and faculty.
The students watched as the workers carefully attached the cables to the rock and the crane gently lifted the rock off of the trailer. The rock was swung carefully over to the spot prepared by the custodians at Emery High and lowered to the ground.
Later on in the week the custodians poured cement around the base of the rock. The Bunderson Monument company will carve a block E in the rock this summer as the rock awaits the beginning of a new school year in August.

Montana State Office

BLM Seeks Nominations to Montana Resource Advisory Councils
The Montana/Dakotas Bureau of Land Management is seeking public nominations for 16 open positions on its Western, Central, and Eastern Montana Resource Advisory Councils, which advise the BLM on public land issues. The deadline for nominations is May 10, 2010.
The BLM's Resource Advisory Councils (RACs), composed of citizens chosen for their expertise in natural resource issues, help the Bureau carry out its stewardship of 253 million acres of public lands. The Bureau, which manages more land than any other federal agency, has 24 RACs across the West, where most BLM-managed land is located. Each RAC consists of 12 to 15 members with an interest in public land management, including such individuals as conservationists, ranchers, outdoor recreationists, state and local government officials, Tribal officials, and academics. The diverse membership of each RAC is aimed at achieving a balanced outlook that the BLM needs for its mission, which is to manage the public lands for multiple uses.
"I value the advice given to the BLM by these citizen-based Resource Advisory Committees, and I know that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar shares my view of their importance," said BLM Director Bob Abbey. "The people who live, work, and recreate near or on BLM-managed lands deserve a formal voice on public land issues, and their input will enhance our agency's ability to manage the public lands for multiple uses while conserving resources for future generations."
Individuals may nominate themselves or others to serve on an advisory council. Nominees, who must be residents of the state or states where the RAC has jurisdiction, will be evaluated on the basis of their training, education, and knowledge of the council's geographical area. Nominees should also demonstrate a commitment to consensus building and collaborative decisionmaking. All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from any represented interests or organizations; a completed background information nomination form; and any other information that speaks to the nominee's qualifications. Click here for the background information form.
The 16 RAC positions open in Montana are in the following categories:
Category One – Public land ranchers and representatives of organizations associated with energy and mineral development, the timber industry, transportation or rights-of-way, off-highway vehicle use, and commercial recreation.
Category Two – Representatives of nationally or regionally recognized environmental organizations, archaeological and historical organizations, dispersed recreation activities, and wild horse and burro organizations.
Category Three – Representatives of state, county, or local elected office; representatives and employees of a state agency responsible for the management of natural resources; representatives of Indian Tribes within or adjacent to the area for which the RAC is organized; representatives and employees of academic institutions who are involved in natural sciences; and the public-at-large.
A term on a RAC is for three years. Following are the vacancies for each RAC. Nominations should be sent to the contact listed.
Western Montana: Two openings in Category 1 (one is for a two-year term); two openings in Category 2; and two openings in Category 3. David Abrams, 106 N. Parkmont, Butte, MT, 59701, 406/533-7600.
Central Montana: One opening in Category 1; two openings in Category 2; and two openings in Category 3. Craig Flentie, 920 NE Main Street, Lewistown, MT, 59457, 406/538-1900.
Eastern Montana: One opening in Category 1; two openings in Category 2; and two openings in Category 3. Mark Jacobsen, 111 Garryowen Road, Miles City, MT, 59301, 406/233-2800.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

^^ I dont know Paul. Unohana knows the "Art of Killing" and she's about to teach Kenpachi (should i start to call him Zaraki now since there are two Kenpachi's). I imagine that "the Art of Killing" is not related to a Bankai, so they wont have to worry about anything being stolen.
With that being said, you'll have a powered up Zaraki, that shouldnt get man-handled by Bach, unlike before. Plus, you have another Kenpachi, who is arguably the strongest Shinigami of them all.
If Mayuri or Urahara figure out a way to block the Bankai stealing tech. Then you still have Shinsui and his Bankai, which must be powerful since he was chosen new CC.

|In response to Re: attaching undercounter sink to granite
: My preferred method of mounting them is to install a framework in the cabinet that supports the sink at the proper level, and then set the granite over it after applying the proper sealer.
: : : In mounting the sink, are the studs screwed into the granite and the sink hangs from the studs ?? Will this install hardware come with the sink??

The United States was the world's biggest, most innovative, and most influential economy in the 20th century. But with high unemployment and an increasingly noticeable disparity in wealth distribution, it will soon cease to be the biggest. How easy will it be for the U.S. to remain the most innovative and influential in the 21st century?
As one of the world's foremost experts on economics, Financial Times editor and commentator Martin Wolf is uniquely positioned to offer insights on the changing nature of the global economy and how Europe, struggling with serious financial problems of its own, fits into the equation. What are some ways that America and Europe can work together to tackle some of the most pressing financial problems of the 21st century?
Martin Wolf is associate editor and chief economics commentator at the Financial Times, which he joined in 1987. He previously worked at the World Bank and the Trade Policy Research Centre. Wolf's books include Fixing Global Finance and Why Globalization Works.

Bloggers and the MSM
By davidleetodd on Jun 22, 2008
In the online age, does print have a future? I mean real ink-on-paper print, not just text. I sure hope so, because lately I've been managing to get my name in the Mainstream Media papers, and not by holding up liquor stores.
I've found that the same skills we use in blogging to make our entries concise and interesting translate well to writing print articles. Here's the latest one of my masterpieces to appear on a piece of pulped pine tree:
The next time you feel you've written a nice blog entry that might be of general interest, you might try sending it to your local paper's editorial page. Just make really, really, really sure you've got the facts straight, because the MSM still maintain standards of factuality that are far higher than the expectations of the blogosphere.
Good luck! I have to tell you, there is a thrill you get from holding the piece of paper in your hands with your name on it that is quite different than seeing your name on a blog.

"I'm a woman, but I wanted slip on shoes that were more of a sneaker so I had more comfort and support then most ladies flats and slip ons provide. I am a fan of skate shoe companies like DC so I gave these a try. They are a little wide on the heel so my foot flops a bit every now and then, but otherwise exactly what I expected and wanted. The mens to ladies conversion chart on DC's website was true to size as well."

Mathematical Charts and TablesConversion Tables
Conversion Tables
As has been suggested already, instructive mathematical charts introduced unfamiliar units of measure. A number of handy tables also were produced to assist in conversions. Perhaps the earliest such chart in the collections dates from about 1814, and is designed to convert from units divisible by twelfths to decimal units. The size of conversion factor and the way the numbers are written suggest that it was made to convert from Massachusetts pounds and shillings to U.S. currency. By the mid-20th century, the dollar prevailed throughout the United States, and Americans were more concerned with understanding foreign currencies when they traveled abroad. Toward that end, some purchased a slide chart called the UNICON, which allowed them to convert between dollars and numerous foreign currencies when they knew the exchange rate.
Engineers have long needed to perform conversions as part of their work. In the first half of the 20th century, manufacturers sometimes distributed small advertising cards that listed decimal equivalents of parts of an inch. Larger tables might list a large number of useful conversion factors. New efforts to introduce metric weights and measures in the United States in the 1970s led to the distribution of a range of cards and slide charts that eased conversions. These were distributed by organizations ranging from the federal government to a manufacturer of outdoor clothing and camping supplies to a producer of food emulsifiers and flavorings.
"Mathematical Charts and Tables - Conversion Tables" showing 1 items.
Slide Chart, UNICON Universal Currency Converter
- Description
- This Universal Currency Converter is a plastic-covered paper holder that contains a plastic-covered paper core. The user slides the core to match a foreign currency to the U.S. dollar, given a known exchange rate, and then reads off conversions for other amounts of U.S. currency. The table thus enables the user to avoid multiplication.
- The back of the Unicon contains metric to common measure conversion tables for distances, liquid volumes, weights, temperature, time zones, and "unofficial" exchange rates, as well as a 6-inch and 15 cm ruler. These rates have some historical interest for nations that no longer exist, such as West Germany and the U.S.S.R.; for currencies that have been merged, such as that of various Eurpoean nations; and for changes in exchange rates. A sheet of instructions for the Unicon also has another table of weights and measures and a list of equivalent clothing sizes. The instrument and its instructions are stored in a plastic case, meant to be carried in the pocket of travelers.
- A mark at the top front of the object reads: UNICON (/) UNIVERSAL CURRENCY CONVERTER (/) INSTANT * ACCURATE * ALWAYS CURRENT (/) CONVERTS ANY FOREIGN CURRENCY. A mark on the bottom front reads: Patent Pending Peoria Journal Star, Inc. 1971.
- This example of the Unicon was given to the Museum by one of its inventors, David J. Schlink (1931–2010). Schlink and Walter K. Schwarz received U.S.Patent No. 3,680,775 on 1 August 1972 for the Unicon. They assigned the patent to Schlink's employer, The Peoria Journal Star, Inc., of Peoria, Illinois. Under the name PJS Enterprises, the newspaper manufactured and sold the Unicon for $3.95 retail. Distribution soon was taken over by Unicon Enterprises of Peoria, which sold a later version of the instrument, the Unicon II, as late as 1988. By this time, foreign travelers also were advised to take along electronic calculators for currency conversion.
- Schlink wrote two books on currency conversion, Money Sense Overseas (or,Unicon I), which sold in 1984 for $4.50 (ISBN 0912327006) and Unicon II, which sold in 1983 for $4.95 (ISBN 0912327014). It is not clear why Unicon II was copyrighted before Unicon I.
