Perfect rainboots!
"All my life I have lived here without rainboots/snowboots and I finally invested in some, and these were definitely worth it! I normally wear size 7 and these were true to size! I did not have to size down or up. These rainboots were also light and not heavy at all!"

Great boots, very comfy ORDER ONE SIZE UP!
"I luckily tried these on in store so I knew I had to order one size up. I am almost always reliably a size 8, I ordered a size 9. They fit really well and are very comfortable. I've walked all over NYC in them and they're great so far. Love the look and feel of them."

Good quality rain boot
"Very comfortable. Shoes don't run in 1/2 sizes, so order up instead of down. Nice feathery design. The boots hit mid-calf and aren't tight around my calf. Good quality rain boot, and can't wait for it to rain!"

When a company gets big (like over 30,000 employees big), how does it retain a culture of innovation that celebrates experimentation, creativity, and crazy, cool ideas?
Enter the Google Garage, a space that according to Program Manager Mamie Rheingold serves as a "commons where Googlers can come together from across the company and learn, create, and make."
"We packed in way too many people into this space, they were literally elbow to elbow," she says. "What happened was they kind of just had to collaborate. If you can't ignore the person next to you, you might as well collaborate with them."
"The environment influences human behavior," says Frederik Pferdt, Global Program Manager for Innovation and Creativity. "So if you want to encourage creativity, and wild ideas, and moonshot thinking, you should create that exact environment that helps you achieve that."

Bones; anyone planning to army build?
Posted 29 September 2012 - 07:48 AM
I've just placed my order for the kickstarter bones pledge manager and have ordered seven additional sets of nova corp figures along with 3 sets of IMEF Marines with the current metal figures I already own plus the minis in the basic Vampire pledge level I'll have about 30 IMEF Marines and 50 Nova Corp minis. with the price point of the metal minis I would never have amassed this many minis of either faction but at the introductory price of $1.00 a figure I can. even if the price was $1.99 ( a guess based on human sized figures currently available) I'd still build these sized armies.
I look at the catalogue of minis especially in the chronocope line and I always wanted to buy the zulu and colonal British minis but the price point kept me away. I'd want at least 50 Brits and maybe 100 zulus but at about $5.00 a pop that's not going to happen. if they were $1.95 each well yea I could see myself actually buying them and building two armys. The same goes for the oppressor range in the chronocope line
The thing is I can't be alone here and if others are thinking like me Reaper might be in for a little surprise I mean at the local flgs the troop blisters like the aforementioned Brits and Zulus sit on the shelves I've always been interested in them but haven't bought any based on the price. if Reaper were to ever release them as bones I think they would fly off the shelf. perhaps Reaper would change from a company that primarily makes characters to one that is making whole army's for purchase. To be honest that's a move I would welcome. I'm a wargamer not a roleplayer.

I have dwarf armies in Warhammer and Kings of War (pretty much the same armies - my group does not care where the minis came from), and a dwarf warband in Mordheim. The bones dwarfs will be heroes in all three games.
I have undead armies in Warhammer and Kings of War, and an Undead Warband in Mordheim. Again, the Bones will be heroes, though not as many (They are pretty solid armies already.)
The Warbands and the Armies in each share models.
The heroes have been Reaper minis in both armies and warbands for a long time.

Of course, there's a crossover with their traditional role-playing market; When you're dealing with 'horde' monsters like Goblins, Orks, Skeletons and Zombies, a box of ten miniatures, with seperate, poseable arms and heads would appeal to most GM's who use miniatures - Particularly as since each and every one can be assembled as a distinct individual, keeping track of which opponent's taken what damage is simple. While for wargamers the same boxes are building blocks for a planned unit.

And did I mention the calculated risk / "push your luck" game mechanic, rather than the boring "you move, I move" one?
Reaper said they make character mini's because that's what sells. DMs are reluctant to shell out money for monsters, while players will buy a specific mini for their character. No ideas exactly what issues Reaper would face if they moved to the GW "sell entire armies" miniatures model.
Song of Blades review:
KickStarter research:
* Find shiny new KS on Reaper.
* Find tarnished old creator on Dakka.
* Save wallet on BGG.

FULTON – The honors keep rolling in for Itawamba Community College freshman place kicker Tyler Jackson.
After being voted Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) Special Teams Player of the week, the Oxford native was named National Special Teams Player of the Week by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) on Wednesday after drilling the game-winning field goal for 43 yards out with 16 seconds left in the Indians' 24-23 Homecoming victory over then No. 3 East Mississippi Community College.
The Indians finished the season 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the MACJC North Division.
The Lafayette County High School graduate is the second Indian to earn National Player of the Week honors after sophomore linebacker Deryck Gildon (Arlington, TX) was named NJCAA Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Southwest Mississippi Community the second week of the season.

AMHERST, Mass. - Junior Matt Whippen produced five goals and an assist while sophomore Andrew Sokol added a trio of tallies and helpers as No. 12 UMass men's lacrosse opened its 2013 season with a 16-9 drubbing of Army at Garber Field on Sunday afternoon. Whippen entered competition against the Black Knights without a collegiate goal or assist while Mooney secured a single-game personal best with his six points.
Senior attack Kyle Smith recorded a goal and three assists for a four-point performance while classmate Bobby Tyler helped on four marks. Freshman Dan Muller chipped in a pair of goals and an assist and Connor Mooney recorded two tallies. Making his first start and appearance with the Minutemen, redshirt-freshman goalie Zachary Oliveri made seven saves over 58:02 in net.
UMass and Army exchanged goals over the first quarter, resulting in a 4-4 tie after 15 minutes. The Black Knights got into the scoring column only six seconds into the contest as John Glesener found the back of the net following the game-opening faceoff. The Minutemen answered with Muller's first collegiate goal on an assist from Sokol, with each marking the first collegiate point for Muller and Sokol.
The trend of Minutemen totaling their first points continued as Whippen fired home an attempt at the 9:58 mark to push UMass into the lead for the first time at 2-1. After Connor Cook and Glesener responded back-to-back to put the Black Knights back in the lead, 3-2, sophomore Sean Cleary totaled his first goal of the season with 3:51 remaining in the quarter to knot the contest at 3-3, with Tyler credited an assist for setting up the play.
Sokol added his second goal of the game only 58 seconds later, with Kyle Smith finding the sophomore attack during UMass' first man-up situation of the day. However, the lead would only hold until Glesener found Pat Brennan for Army's fourth mark of the game with 1:50 to play in the first.
The Minutemen dominated the second quarter en route to a 7-5 halftime advantage. Three consecutive goals gave UMass a 7-4 edge, with Whippen's second tally of the day capping the run with 3:47 remaining. Muller ran directly at the goal and fired a low shot at Army goalie Sam Somer's feet, with the ball trickling into the net for the 5-4 lead. Somers was pulled from the net, with Bobby Sincero tapped to take over for the Black Knights following the play.
However, the goalie swap didn't prevent Sokol from netting his second of the day as he used a shot from the right side of the goal to put UMass in front, 6-4. Tyler fed Sokol to give the Minutemen their first two-goal advantage of the day at the 5:35 mark, with Tyler notching his second assist of the contest in the process.
After Garrett Thul, the nation's active leader in goals, capped scoring in the first half with 43 seconds remaining in the stanza, the Minutemen reeled off the first four goals of the third quarter to turn the contest into a rout.
Whippen netted the hat trick on a pass from Kyle Smith before Mooney notched his first tally of the season on Tyler's third helper of the day. Sokol followed with his third assist as K.R. Jurgelevich found the back of the net with 12:10 to play in the quarter. Tyler added a fourth helper 2:44 later as senior attack Will Manny got on the scoreboard with his first mark of the day and the 94th of his UMass career for the 11-5 lead.
After the Black Knights added a pair of goals to pull within 11-7, Whippen and Sokol matched Army with a tally each to push the lead back to six, 13-7, before Alex Newsome put one in the back of the net for the Black Knights with 2:33 remaining in the third.
For his fifth mark, Whippen sprinted at the goalmouth from in front and fired a point-blank shot by Sincero with 13:36 to play before Mooney added his second tally on an assist from Kyle Smith to put UMass up, 15-8.
Alex Van Krevel totaled the final Army goal with 10:11 to play in the contest before the UMass defense, led by senior Jake Smith, locked down to keep the Black Knights out of the scoring column for the remainder of play.
Kyle Smith closed scoring with an acrobatic diving goal across the crease, firing over Sincero's left shoulder for the 16-9 lead after Whippen found Smith on the left side of the net.
UMass outshot Army, 47-30, including a 27-16 margin in on-target attempts. The Minutemen caused 17 Army turnovers while only committing 12 and won 15-of-28 faceoffs as junior Joe Calvello was victorious in 14 of the 27 he took. Junior James Fahey won the only faceoff he took while Alex Daly led the Black Knights with a 9-for-18 clip. UMass was flagged with seven penalties totaling four minutes while Army was called for eight spanning six minutes.
The Minutemen continue their 2013 campaign against No. 4 North Carolina in a neutral site game at Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday, Feb. 16, at 1 p.m.

Features striking images and arresting moments but can't overcome a persistent lack of coherence.
The idea of updating a cult classic like "The Prisoner" — creator and star Patrick McGoohan's surreal limited series steeped in Orwellian fears of conformity and the Cold War — sounded exciting on paper. The result, however, proves perhaps not surprisingly frustrating — a very British six-hour, three-night event that features striking images and arresting moments but can't overcome a persistent lack of coherence. Granted, Ian McKellen could hold an audience by reading from a dictionary; it's just that at times he sounds as if he is, for all the good the script does in bringing clarity to the mystery.In addition to McKellen, Jim Caviezel provides marquee credentials as Six, who awakens inexplicably in a cookie-cutter world known only as the Village, where everyone has traded in names for numbers. The Village is overseen by McKellen's imperious and enigmatic Two, whose job is seemingly to break Six's spirit — and give the lie to his conviction that a larger world exists outside his new Disney backlot-type surroundings. Shot in Namibia and South Africa, the foreboding environment and yawning desert give "The Prisoner" a creepily distinctive look. But too much of Bill Gallagher's self-consciously arcane script and Nick Hurran's direction unfolds as if through a funhouse mirror, offering less in the way of clues than marking time until the vague, conspiratorial reveal in the closing chapters. Night two is easily the strongest, but the strangeness of the hours that bookend it ultimately infuse the miniseries with an unsatisfying aftertaste. (To be fair, many were also put off by the cryptic ending of McGoohan's original, which left its own breadcrumb trail mischievously scattered.) Fortunately, McGoohan offered a powerful enough presence to keep that series watchable, as did the juicy twist of periodically replacing Twos. By contrast, the weakest link here is Caviezel, whose perpetually baffled character is deficient in steely resolve. Inasmuch as we see the Village through his eyes, it's a major drawback — though the jumpiness of the script does leave the "Passion of the Christ" star with another kind of cross to bear. The supporting cast is fine, including Atwell and Ruth Wilson ("Jane Eyre") as the women in Six's orbit, Lennie James ("Jericho") and Jamie Campbell Bower as Two's rightfully confused son.

Want to know what it takes to zip a car around the track, just like the pros? Ride along with one, sitting shotgun as your expert driver tears around the Speedway at break-neck pace, hitting well over 120 MPH. Hang on tight around the track's turns, and get ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush when the car's full potential is unleashed along the straight-aways! A stock car ride along is the best Chicago experience gift for giving someone a true taste of what life is like in the fast lane, when it comes to livin' the driving dream as part of the NASCAR circuit. And for those die-hard fans of the Indianapolis 500, there's no better sightseeing in Chicago than the invigorating view that comes with an Indy car ride along!
Itching to try some time in the driver's seat? Strap on a helmet and racing suit, head to a driving instruction class to learn fascinating tips and strategies regarding the track's curves and driving lines, the car's mechanics, track communication systems, safety protocol and more, capped off by a demo lap in a crew vehicle. Then rev your engine and get ready for an unforgettable Chicago 'tour' as you blast around the Chicagoland Speedway in your very own horsepower-packed set of wheels!
Looking for 'par-fect' things to do in Chicago? Look no further.
Whether you're looking to hone your own skills, or are in search of the perfect Chicago experience gift for a golf guru you know, Cloud 9 Living offers terrific Chicago golf outing opportunities to make it happen.
Available for every level of experience — from rookie to 'rockin' the course weekly' — and tailored to fit any focus of the game, a golf lesson with a real PGA pro is one of the top things to do in Chicago that should be on any golf-lover's bucket list!
This special, one-on-one instruction takes place on the practice range of one of several renowned courses, conveniently located within driving distance of the Windy City. Customized to fit the participant's appropriate level of playing, the lesson aims at enjoyment as well as effectiveness. Lessons typically feature topics like equipment, club grip, posture, short game strategies (pitching and chipping), swing and putting techniques, fairway and course obstacle navigation, and reading ball flight. The fundamentals covered will vary across participants, based upon a blend of the student's personal golf goals, as well as assessment and advice of the Pro, leading to a truly authentic Chicago experience.
The courses and their practice ranges are essentially Chicago attractions themselves — sights not to be missed! Hosting the expertise of qualified PGA professionals, lessons are hosted on some of the richest fairways, well-manicured landscapes, and appropriately-challenging holes of courses in the Chicago area.
Please see Cloud 9 Living's complete list of Chicago-based PGA pros and their home courses for further details regarding available instructional locations.

Virginblue.com.au Gets Mega Makeover22/10/2007
Virgin Blue has unveiled its fresh, new website virginblue.com.au which has been specially designed to make navigation around the popular site even easier for travellers looking for key information or to book flights.
Since Virgin Blue launched in 2000 the website, which receives around 130,000 hits per day, has been the airline's main channel for the majority of flight bookings and over 90 percent of Guests now choose to select and book their travel online.
Moving away from the original colour palate of mostly red and blue, the refurbished website now features a crisp white background for easier readability with splashes of red to preserve Virgin Blue's heritage and link to the Virgin brand.
The new website was designed with the input of public focus groups and surveys of key market segments to create a site that is truly user-friendly from the page layout and content menus to the pictures and colours used.
To improve the accessibility and usability, special features have been incorporated into the new site including dropdown menus and index pages, the ability to select different font sizes to assist readers with vision impairments, and more useful and logical 'next step' and 'related information' links designed to help travellers find the information they want with a minimum amount of effort.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "Our website is the most dynamic communication tool available to us and given that an increasing number of travellers prefer the convenience of online services whether they are browsing or buying, we are committed to evolving with the needs of our Guests and finding ways to make their experience with our website both useful and positive."
More images of Virgin Blue team members and special messages have also been incorporated throughout the site to provide a more personalised and friendlier experience.
As well as refining the appearance of its website Virgin Blue has built the site to be scalable for future initiatives to enable it to display and promote all the great new products and partnerships the airline has in the pipeline.
The new site is compatible with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Flash and was designed by Webqem.
Multi award winning airline Virgin Blue and international carriers Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue currently operate a fleet of 55 modern Boeing 737 and Embraer E-Jet aircraft flying to 22 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Virgin Blue was the first airline in the world to launch a Government-certified carbon offset program, where Guests can offset the carbon emissions from their flights for as little as $1. Virgin Blue Group has also announced plans to launch Australia's newest international airline, V Australia, set to commence flights between Australia and the USA from late 2008, subject to regulatory approvals.

Very nice hotel close to the main sites. Comfortable room with small kitchenette, and my room had a very good view of the cathedral, etc. Very friendly and helpful staff with very good english. Not much for restaurants and cafés around, but a few.
Very nice hotel and great for the price. Would stay there again!!
very good hotel, recommendable for business stay and also for private traveling
Basic hotel, well organised. A bit slow service. Nice terrace open, good network of takeaway. If in doubt go to CocoBambu in the nearby Brasilia Shopping centre for dinner or delivery.

The Sharks ended a five-game losing run on Friday after recording a hard-fought 23-13 victory over the Western Force at nib Stadium.
The Sharks ended a five-game losing run on Friday after recording a hard-fought 23-13 victory over the Western Force at nib Stadium in Perth.
It wasn't pretty but the side from Durban will not care about that as a tough period ended with four much-needed points to lift their confidence.
The Sharks' tries came from captain Keegan Daniel and full-back Riaan Viljoen either side of a well-taken score from Force centre Kyle Godwin.
While the Force dominated possession early on, they only had a Jayden Hayward penalty goal to show for their efforts at the end of the first quarter.
From that point on though the Sharks found their mojo and a try from Daniel, who got around Sias Ebersohn in defence, saw the visitors go 7-3 up.
The impressive Godwin then struck on the half-hour mark as he did well to ghost through the defence and hand his men a 7-10 half-time lead.
The Sharks were impressive in gaining the ascendancy in the second period though as Patrick Lambie began to turn the screw with two penalties before Viljoen motored around prop Kieran Longbottom, going in for a score that handed the Sharks a 20-13 advantage.
Lambie added another three points with seven minutes remaining and despite the Force going close through Brett Sheehan, the Sharks held on for a deserved first win on tour.
The scorers:
For Western Force:
Try: Godwin
Con: Hayward
Pen: Hayward 2
For Sharks:
Tries: Daniel, Viljoen
Con: Lambie 2
Pen: Lambie 3
Western Force: 15 Jayden Hayward, 14 Patrick Dellit, 13 Ben Jacobs, 12 Kyle Godwin, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Ben McCalman, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Matt Hodgson (c), 5 Sam Wykes, 4 Toby Lynn, 3 Kieran Longbottom, 2 Heath Tessmann, 1 Pek Cowan.
Replacements: 16 James Hilterbrand, 17 Tetera Faulkner, 18 Rory Walton, 19 Richard Brown, 20 Brett Sheehan, 21 Junior Rasolea, 22 Sam Norton-Knight.
Sharks: 15 Riaan Viljoen, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 JP Pietersen, 12 Meyer Bosman, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Keegan Daniel (c), 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Anton Bresler, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Kyle Cooper, 1 JC Janse van Rensburg.

Cute, affordable flat!
"I love the design on these shoes. I bought them in Olive, and it is a dark green - not a grey like some of the reviews said. It goes with almost everything, though! Comfortable, and have a nice supportive arch for a flat, too. I wore them for a long day at the office, and started to feel that they weren't broken in yet toward the end of the day, but I imagine once I've worn them a few times, they'll be a go-to!"

the 2n2222 transistor gets very hot very quickly.
So since this is too much current for the npn's can I use a TIP120 Power Darlington Transistor from adafruit for the job?
with a 220 ohm it still get too hot to touch very quickly.
... with a heatsink (or to put it in the tank).
All you need then is say a regular 19v laptop power supply for about $5 and you're golden.

Dear Editor,
I debated as to writing this opinion letter due to my experience with the media in the past. I am a Vietnam Veteran and while serving my country found the media to be a very unfriendly profession to the soldiers who were fighting for their freedom. The soldiers who fought were, in their minds, serving their country with their very lives, but came back to find anger and resentment against them due to the media coverage. I don't know of any one that was in that war that didn't come back with either a mental, physical or emotional issue.
Now for my opinion Patsy Stoddard wrote an article on Nov. 9, stating "Emery County what have you done?", and Rick Shaw wrote one on Nov. 16, defending her right to publish her opinion. Ms. Stoddard's article was by editor, and Mr. Shaw's was by publisher. My point is their articles were 985 words and 819 words while those who took the time to respond followed the guidelines of the opinion page of 350 words. A few went over but Mr. Geary's was 283 words, Mr. Johnson was 408 words and Mr. and Mrs. Dellos was 294 words. Why don't we all have basically the same rules, so that we stand on level ground?
As a veteran I took the right to vote very seriously, and to have someone insult my right makes me reflect on the days right after Vietnam. What gives you the right to question my decision or any other individual's decision when it comes to an election? You over stepped your position and you need to apologize to this county. I was proud to see that approximately 60 percent of Emery County voted. Did you not see that all but one area in this whole county voted for Mr. Funk by majority, so please remember what elections stand for and not degrade our God given right of "For the people by the people." This should have meaning to you, so shame on you because this is the way we do things in Emery County.
Editor's note: I place no word restrictions in letters to the editor.

(This entry originally ran on Sept. 11, 2004 - I've updated it. Hat tip to Canadian rocker Bryan Adams for this post's title)
9/11. Of course you remember where you were. That day was a summons, a call; many answered it, in many different ways. Our team is here because of it. In all probability, so are you.
This September 11th we honour those who answered that call, and those who answer it still. Amidst the clamour and tumult of all the 9/11 related posts and articles over the past 4 years, some stand out and speak more truly to the essence of that dark day - and the challenges that lie before us still.
What part will you play? "Ah," you say, "but I'm not a writer, or a hero." Funny, but I've got a few people in here who would have said the very same thing.
- United Flight 93. The first victory. Even Dave Barry got serious for a change and wrote about their story last year. Cox & Forkum has a cartoon and more links for y'all.
- Arthur Chrenkoff, meanwhile, offers a 5-star recommendation for "The Flight That Fought Back," a Discovery Channel TV reconstruction of exactly what took place on FLT 93. It will be shown at 9pm on Sept. 11, 2005 in America, and DVDs will be available.
- Screw the 9/11 Commission. Eminent military historian and classics scholar Victor Davis Hanson mercilessly lashes 25 bipartisan years of foolishness and inaction in The Fruits of Appeasement. Democrat and Republican adminstrations alike find themselves squarely in his sights, as VDH methodically dissects the follies that have led us to this point in history.
- Bill Roggio and Marvin Hutchens, meanwhile, offer a Flash presentation that chronicles the Islamist war on Terra - before 9/11, and after. (Warning: graphic footage)
- In 2003, Dan Darling took a look at al-Qaeda's key enablers and possible co-conspirators for September 11. Where were they now, after 2 years of the War on Terror? In 2004, he offered us something else: a roster of the al-Qaeda leaders we've killed or captured since 9/11. In 2005, it was Where the Enemy Stands, 4 Years On. And the war continues....
- Susanna of Cut on the Bias has a letter from Iraq that's worth reading.
- Tarek Heggy offers a ray of hope from his home in Cairo. "Why Do I Write" could just as easily be titled "Why Do I Fight" the denial, religious intolerance, human rights abuses, and backwardness that afflict his part of the world.
- He's joined by the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism, an American group who wish to eliminate support for Islamic extremism and terrorism, and to strengthen secular democratic institutions in the Middle East and the Muslim World. "The Coalition promotes a modern secular interpretation of Islam which is peace-loving, democracy-loving and compatible with other faiths and beliefs." (Google cache here, and thanks to reader Brian H for the tip).
- Here are some additional thoughts from Khaled Abou El Fadl, a noted Muslim thinker and human rights activist, on "Islam and the Challenge of Democracy." The post also includes a report on the progress, challenges, and shortcomings among reformers in Egypt and the Palestinian "Authority". Some of them mirror the progress and shortcomings of the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism; see this comments discussion for more.
- And the war continues. Click in to GoodNewsFromTheFront.com, as we continue Arthur Chrenkoff's briefings from Iraq and Afghanistan in cooperaton with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
- A complete 9/11 timeline. Bet there's some stuff in there you weren't aware of.
- We would be deeply remiss without mentioning Morgan Stanley hero Rick Rescorla, who refused to leave until he was sure all his people were out. He's still there. Those who served with him in Vietnam say he was the bravest men they had ever seen. On 9/11, he proved it again. Read. This. Story.
- And Abe Zelamowitz, of course, "The Saint of the Burning Towers" who chose to wait inside with his disabled friend and refused to leave. A truly fine man calls forth an equally fine tribute.
- There were many tributes after September 11. But here's the greatest eulogy I've ever heard or read. It's for Capt. Francis J. Callahan of Engine Company 40 and Ladder Company 35, FDNY, who perished Sept. 11.
- For equally impressive accounts, the New York Times offers these reconstructions of some of the heroism displayed by Port Authority workers and others who didn't make it out. Two of those notable others were Frank De Martini, an architect, and Pablo Ortiz, a construction inspector. See also the interactive features in their 9/11 portal page sidebar.
- In 2005, Tigerhawk writes about his cousin Welles Crowther, who died saving people in the towers. He appeared out of the chaos as "the man in the red bandana", issuing crisp instructions, guiding the injured, speaking with command but wearing no official rescue gear. "Anyone who can walk," he said, "walk down the stairs. Anyone who can walk and help someone else, help. There are people here you cannot help anymore, so don't try to." As Tigerhawk's email notes: "Since various agencies that recognize individual heroism (Carnegie, for example) have elected not to make distinctions between the "sheep" and the "sheepdogs" on September 11, we need to find our own comfort in unofficial recognition." Unfortunately.
- Reid "Photodude" Stott did us all very proud with "It's OK, I'm With the Firemen...." Photodude methodically retraces fellow photographer Bill Biggart's final steps, and narrates this utterly riveting story with the help of the recovered images taken from Bill's camera and others.
- The Wall St. Journal won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage. Its offices were in the complex. See esp. Daniel Henninger's article I Saw It All. Then I Saw Nothing.
- GayPatriot: What 9/11 Taught Me About Dancing. He has 3 people to remember from 9/11. Smoking can save your life, a wonderful teacher was lost, and a great American hero was found when he joined his last team. They'd all be proud of GayPatriot's remembrance. (Hat Tip: Instapundit)
- NY Times' outstanding "Portraits of Grief" series includes obits and anecdotes for everyone who perished on 9/11. Including Dave Barkway. Rest in peace, my friend.
- Gerald Van Der Leun remembers where he was in New York that day. He even kept a diary.
- The falling. Dear Lord. Jeff Jarvis tells us more than we want to know - but the thing is, it's true. It's real. If there's any ray of comfort in this post, it's his explanation of why the NYC Medical Examiner won't classify any of those 200 or so people (!!!) as "jumpers" or "suicides." A seemingly-trivial thing, but in my religion that would matter a lot.
- On a brighter note, here are some links regarding the 16 "miracle survivors" of Stairwell B.
- WeckUpToThees! Some Americans have taken to calling Sept. 11 Patriots Day. Fuz reminds us that the holiday name is already taken, and not to be disturbed.
- The very best 9/11 site done using text rather than pictures and sound? I've given it a lot of thought, and while Michele's "Voices" site gets an honourable mention, I vote for Jeff Gates' Dichotomy pairings page - very real and very artistic all at the same time.
- Jane Galt's blog was originally "Live from WTC" - written every day from a trailer at Ground Zero. She led us to this outstanding 7MB presentation about 9/11, made shortly after the attack. Thank heavens for Ultra-Fast DSL. For lower bandwidth types, Donald Sensing has a photo set for you.
- I'll leave the final image to Patti Davis, President Ronald Reagan's famously leftist daughter. "There was no announcement, but there was a flag. It was large and tattered, lashed to a wooden pole. The arms waving it were thin and dirty. They belonged to a homeless man whom I had seen before along that same stretch of highway; usually, he held a cardboard sign asking for money. Now, in the early dawn, while California was waking up to what New York already knew - that America had been horribly wounded and might never be the same again - this man had found a flag somewhere and was waving it like a proud soldier, announcing to passersby that he loved the country whose streets he calls home."
The Twin Towers' Rise... and Fall
- The innovative techniques and approaches used in building the Twin Towers...
- ...And the mechanics and science behind their fall.
- USA Today explains what happened and reconstructs the journeys of several survivors. Their investigative journalism here was top notch. Too bad they've pulled or hidden some of their great multimedia links.
- "Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell." Priceless satire, written as only The Onion can.
- Rand Simberg also has a satire for the 2 year anniversary. It makes its point. In case that point wasn't blindingly clear to you, however, he explains in 2005 and provides a link to other posts he's done in the same genre.
- Also in the "too true to be funny" category is this fictional account, in which the terrorists were caught and 9/11 thwarted. Naturally, ridicule, protests, recriminations, and apologies follow. It was published in The Vallejo Times-Herald (California).
- A firsthand account. From the 51st floor. Draws you in tighter, the more you read it.
- Steven Den Beste explains the whole War on Terror. Really. We didn't know at the time what it was really costing him to post this stuff.
- For deeper background, here are some reading recommendations: some key articles on our "must-read" list - or would you prefer some key blog posts that summarize the war's goals and stakes in "3 Touchstones, 3 Conjectures"? We've also got a piece that covers America's new post-9/11 foreign policy doctrine, and the scope of the threat we all face. Will The Bush Doctrine, like the Truman Doctrine before it, eventually become bipartisan?
- Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you editorial cartoonists Cox & Forkum. Sometimes a picture really is worth 1,000 words - but the 2 they added make all the difference (Hat Tip: alphapatriot).
- Doktor Frank publishes a post from a punk socialist who lost more than a friend on 9/11 - he lost an entire system of belief. An excellent, emblematic post for something that happened to a lot of people. Found via Judith Weiss, who had a very impressive 9/11 links collection of her own in 2003. Love the new look, Judith.
- I think the Brothers Judd win the prize in terms of impressive link collections, though. Wow. History, articles, essays, key speeches etc. from Sept. 2001. Even a section called "Words & Songs of Comfort and Rage."
- You knew that James Lileks would have something to say. Even by a higher Lileksian standard, his 2002 essay was excellent. Here's 2003. "When I was a kid," it begins, "I was terrified of the End of the World...."
- Jim Cramer's passion isn't confined to MSNBC's Kudlow and Cramer. "The Making of a Hawk" shows a liberal who wasn't just mugged by reality, he was thrashed within an inch of his life and left for dead. Keep reading until you get to the part about his closet.
- Brendan Minter, 2003: "The significant question, however, isn't where chance found each American that day. Rather it is where each American came to stand when it was time to confront the enemy. Where were you?"
- Porphyrogenitus agreed - and threw in some apropos lyrics from Crowded House.
- Writing in 2003, Jeff Jarvis resents the "PBSification" of the War on Terror. By 2004, his quarrel has expanded to include his entire journalistic profession. We are falling. All of us. It's well written and timely.
- In 2004, Pejman's "1096 Days" post talks about his new home in Chicago. Yes, he lives in a target. No, he doesn't intend to think of it that way. He wants a nation that "...remembers the past, but cherishes the presents of the present day. And she looks expectantly to tomorrow--urging us all the while to follow the example of a man who was a son of England, but who was America's son too..... "Lift up your hearts, all will come right. Out of depths of sorrow and sacrifice will be born again the glory of mankind." "
- California Yankee's son attended a 9/11 memorial in 2004 at George Washington University, and wrote about his realizations. Best lines: "We all require assistance at times. Hope can falter, but others can right it. Lives may end, but others will remember the deeds done. Freedom may fall under attack, but those who live it and believe in it can save it."
- Ken Layne: "How many wanted to do something? I know quite a few of us started these Web logs because we couldn't do anything else, weren't allowed to do anything else. It might seem worthless, typing into a browser window instead of going after terrorists. But it's something." Yes, Ken. In a democracy, where public opinion is the real strategic battleground of this war, it surely is something. Thanks for being part of it with us.
- Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds has been a big part of it. On Sept. 11, 2005, he's also giving shooting lessons to a Marine. Every little bit helps. That post also includes a link to his own writings on the day of Sept. 11, 2001.
- Some good guidance for parents with kids, courtesy of Fred Rogers. When Fred Rogers was a boy and would see scary things on the news, his mother would say to him, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." Yes, we did. One of them, Fred, was you. Had always been you. Thank you. And thank you, too, to all the people out there who helped - and who are still helping.
"Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming;
Can't you see their spearpoints gleaming?
See their warriors' pennants streaming
To this battlefield.
Men of Cornwall stand ye steady;
It cannot be ever said ye
for the battle were not ready;
Stand and never yield!"
-- as sung by Rick Rescorla, Sept. 11, 2001. WTC South Tower (full background on the song, incl. music files)
Never forget. Never yield. The stakes are far, far too high.

Let me first apologize in advance as this is probably going to be long but I think I need to include a good deal of background information in order to explain it right. I have the part that is more important background listed out separate.
I'm posting under a anonymous screen name as my other one some family know about now but I have posted on here before about my mom and found the advice very helpful.
Lately my MIL (mother-in-law) seems to be getting on my last nerve. My husband thinks it's just because I don't have my mom to deal with (she's on a TO) and so the "little" things his mom does are standing out to me more. I also worry that it is partly due to some resentment I have developed towards her due to things from the past. My husband says that he agrees that his mom wasnâ€ââ€Â¢t the greatest towards me in the past but that it wasn't that bad and that I shouldn't have any resentment from it.
Overall I get along with my MIL (mother-in-law) and I know that when compared to what others have to deal with I am very lucky in the MIL (mother-in-law) department but at the same time I can't seem but feel like some things just aren't right. I got a lot of help on here with my mother so I thought I would see what kind of perspective you all could give me on this. I know I need to do something because it's starting to seem like everything she does bothers me but I'm not sure if it's all me or if she is to blame too.
My DH (dear husband) and myself met during my freshman year of college. He was my RA and we were friends first. During my last semester at that college we admitted we liked each other more than friends and started dating. He was set to graduate at the end of the semester with his associates degree and transfer to a four year program and I was transferring because I had decided to change majors. As fate would have it we were actually transferring to the same college, even though neither of us knew that was were the other was transferring before we began dating.
Things started out good between his mom and me. She seemed to like me and we got along okay. That summer we spent more and more time together even though we lived two hours away from each other. Then all of a sudden when his mom heard that I was going to be going to the same college as him she started acting weird and started creating new rules for when I was allowed to visit him. We worked around it and it wasn't that big of an issue.
We started at our new school that fall and things were going good. We spent a lot of time together but still had lives outside our relationship. Then it turned out that his roommate had a connection in student housing and because of it he was getting into one of the on campus apartments for the spring. He invited my then BF (breastfeed, or boyfriend) to move in with him and also asked if I wanted in as well. We of course loved the idea since the apartments were set up so everyone got their own room with common spaces.
His mom wasn't as thrilled and sat him down about how he was "too young to be in a serious relationship" and that he needed to not do the apartment with me, break up with me, and stop being so boring. That he needed to get out an live a little while you were young (even though that's not who my DH (dear husband) is at all). I understand where she was coming from about the apartment, we were young and had only been dating for just under a year. So I could understand how to a mother that could be a concern.
Needless to say he didn't listen to her and break up with me, instead we moved into the on campus apartment as planned. At the end of the semester my DH (dear husband) (then BF) decided to leave that college and his major, as he had done a lot of soul searching that semester (he went into therapy without his parents knowing) and realized that he had been majoring in what they told him to and not what he actually wanted to do. It took a lot for him to make that decision and his mother was not happy with it at all. He took courses as a local community college to try and figure out what he wanted.
Eventually he figured it out and seeing as I wasn't happy with the college I was at we decided to look for a school to transfer to together. We spent a lot of time researching schools and went to visit our top choices. When we found the one that was right for us we realized that we didn't want to live on campus but instead wanted to get an apartment together. At this point in time his parents seemed very supportive. We applied got accepted and found an apartment. Due to us being college students the apartment complex wanted parents as co-signers on the apartment. My dad was more than willing to for me and we were led to believe this wasn't an issue by his parents and so we put down a deposit. His parents also helped him apply for financial aid and acted like everything was good.
Then the week we were supposed to move (a week before classes were to start) his mother sat him down and said that they were no longer willing to co-sign for his part of the apartment or provide support for his school financial aid. They would be willing to pay for an apartment for him and help with school but only if it wasn't with me and he broke up with me. We were completely blindsided by it and he got quite upset with them. There was no way to make it happen with such short notice and I couldn't do the apartment on my own. So I quickly transferred into a local college near my parents and he decided to take time off from school and get a job until he was old enough to get financial aid as an independent. (I understand it was their right to do so but it still bothers me that they gave us such short notice and would support him but if only if I wasn't in the picture anymore)
He was able to get a job pretty quickly and within a month we were apartment hunting. Then within two months we were moving into an apartment together. Once he moved out he distanced himself quite a bit from his family and barely communicated with his mom and when he did he kept it pretty superficial.
Important Background:
Fast forward a couple years. We got engaged and I graduated from college. Then we decided to move to my home state so I could attend a masters program, my DH (dear husband) could go back to college and we could be closer to my dad who needed some help (my mom left my father after having two major heart attacks because she was still "young" and didn't want to be stuck taking care of him and left him with a mess.) Also my husband was losing his job due to major cuts and downsizing at the company he worked at (they already let a bunch of people go and he was told that he was next and to look for work elsewhere), so it was a good time to move for us.
His mother did not like that we were moving away and even went as far as to tell him that he shouldn't move with me. Instead she said that he should move in with them and keep his job as long as possible with the company he was with and then find a new one down there after the company let him go in the next month or so. She said he should live there and then he could drive up and visit me on the weekend.
Neither of us liked that idea so it didn't happen. So she went back to being her passive aggressive self for awhile. Then another year into our two year engagement, about 3 months before the wedding, she once again questioned our relationship. My maid of honor happened to live near his mom and his mom decided to take over the wedding shower that my MOH was planning. It blew up into something that we didn't want and so my husband emailed his mom about it and somehow in the fallout my husband made a comment about how it was not supposed to be a party about his mom and grandmother (which his mother was trying to make it out to be) and he said that he wasn't sure if he even wanted his grandmother there because of how horribly she treats me (whole other story).
Well that set his mom off and she sent a email back calling him out on him "changing" and questioning if he was sure he should be marrying me. That you have to let things slide if they are family, you ignore the shortcomings of family. That I needed to suck it up and let her treat me like that because that's just how she is. Then in the next breath she was calling me out for not liking the idea of a huge party and blaming it on my anxiety issues. Stating that I needed to get them fixed (I was treated for social anxiety disorder as a youth, which I had therapy for and pretty much had/have under control). She threatened to tell the family about it and how certain family members would whoop him for saying such a thing. That I was from a different world and he should question whether he wanted have to deal with that. Then she told him he needed to stand up to me and tell me that family comes first and that he needed to check his pants to see if he still had balls. He sent an email back telling her off and then his dad got involved and somehow calmed the situation down. Somehow in the "compromise" we ended up with two wedding showers, one for my side and one for his, which happened to be at the location his mother had picked and she basically still threw it (I feel stupid for not standing up for myself then). The best part of that whole situation is my husband emailed back and forth with his mom about it and I had no knowledge about anything he said until after the nasty email from his mom, yet in the email his mom blamed me for everything as if I was commanding him to say everything.
After that things calmed down and his mom started being "nice" to me leading up to the wedding. She still was passive aggressive though and they even got into a fight the week before our wedding because his mom wanted to throw a birthday party for his grandmother at our wedding. He stood his ground and didn't let her do so at the wedding reception (we paid for it ourselves so she didn't have a leg to stand on with it) but she did hold the party in the hotel lobby sitting area right after the reception and seemed upset when we didn't come to it.
Since then there were other little disagreements but nothing big. For the most part she has just been passive aggressive here and there but since I'm used to my toxic mother who has major issues and is literally mentally unstable, it didn't seem like too big of a deal. She would never call me out on anythingbut would just seem a little put out by what I was doing, like exclusively breastfeeding and not letting her bottle feed the baby when visiting or how I babywear instead of bringing the stroller she bought.
One thing that really bothered me was when we had our DD, back in March, she wanted to stay in the room and watch me breastfeed, because she had loved doing it for the short time she did and wanted to remember the feeling by watching me (really creeped me out). Needless to say she didn't get to stay in the room.
Her newest thing is to not include me on emails, then two or three emails into the conversation send a followup email with me cc'd but not include any information from the original email. This leaves me confused and having to ask my husband what she's talking about. My husband brought this up to her and she thought it was funny and claims she doesn't realize that she's doing it.
She also just told my husband last night that we have to stop buying Christmas presents for our daughter because we might buy what she already got her. My husband told her to tell us what she got her then but she refused. He stood up to her and said she was our child and we would buy her whatever we wanted for Christmas. This upset her, especially when his dad agreed with us but my husband says that is her problem not ours.
She also likes to tell us when they will be seeing us and when we have ideas to see them it never works for them but we are expected to make time to make the visits she comes up with work. For instance, we told them we needed a good amount of notice before planning a visit, as we are both in school and working, plus have an infant. Yet the Thursday before Veterns Day we get an email about how they want to see us on VD since they have the day off. That didn't happen but she still seemed put out that we didn't make it happen.
My husband still isn't a fan of his mother and if it weren't for his father we probably would have next to nothing to do with her. As it is now we only see his family once every 1-2 months and he calls them after important events or every couple weeks. Yet he is starting to get annoyed by all the things that I'm saying annoy me about her now, though he says he doesn't expect me to be nice to her if I don't want to. So I'm trying to figure out if I have a right to be bothered by this or if I need to just let it slide and be grateful it isn't worse.
(If I don't respond right away I'm not hairflipping. I have to feed my daughter then I'll check to see if there are any comments before I head to bed. Otherwise I probably won't be able to check until my first break mid-morning.)

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Canyon View Lady Cougars and the San Rafael Lady Bulldogs basketball teams ended their season at the Castle Valley Athletic Association tournament at Mont Harmon on Feb. 19. The Lady Cougars came away with the win in a hard fought game, 44-16.
The Cougars were off to a slow start and at the end of the first quarter the Bulldogs were up by one point 4-5. After playing well into the second quarter the Cougars managed to jump ahead by six points and hold the Bulldogs at five points for most of the quarter.
Canyon View led the Bulldogs 20-8 at halftime. The scoring of Meagan Pearson and Camille Fehlberg from seemingly anywhere on the court proved too much for the Bulldogs. This is a repeat championship for the Cougars who also won last year

Overfishing may mean the end for many large fish originated in the ocean. This is a potential disaster that is closer than most realize. Many fish species are reduced by up to 80-90%. Not only will this make the dinner table more tiresome for us in the rich part of the world, but it can mean a food catastrophe for large groups of people in the world.
17 February 2010 at 6 pm at Kino 1. This is the first major documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans.
In the film we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food.
