I went to San Diego California and all I got was a sun burn and this 1993 Corrado SLC.
The trip started with a flight to San Diego, my wife came with me. The plan was to fly in, hang out in SD for a bit then drive home to Detroit. I was basically convinced that we'd either be a stronger couple after this, or divorced.
A friend picked us up from the airport and we hung out in old town SD till the seller of the car met up with us. Here's a picture of Todd in the car when we saw him pull up around the corner for the first time.
That night we met up with a few old friends from San Diego at the Stone Brewing Company. You may recognize some of these SoCal knuckle heads.
The weather is always perfect in San Diego, so we tried to make the best of it while we were there.
Unfortunately, we couldn't stay in San Diego longer (as much as we would have liked to). With a 14 hour drive ahead of us till the next planned stop we were pushing it staying as long as we did. So it was a quick fuel stop and we were on the road, east bound and down.
The lack of radio wasnt too much of a problem at this point in the journey because we had the windows down and the wind noise would have made it near impossible to enjoy the music anyway. The reason we had the windows down was because the AC had been removed. No AC through the desert was inconvenient. We saw as high as 115F. It was hot. Luckily the Corrado did well and both coolant and oil temps remained well under control.
Just out side of the Chrysler Desert Proving Grounds in Yuka Arizona was this... silver thing.
Relief came as we approached Flagstaff Arizona. The mountain air was fresh, smelled like pine trees and almost 60 degrees cooler.
We stopped for fuel and a quick bit to eat, then made the rest of the way to stay with my good friend Cisco in Albuquerque.
The next day in Albuquerque we started the car to a grinding scratching awful noise coming from the under the hood. This is me making a sketchy "I dont think we're going to make it" face:
The bearings in the accessory belt tensioner pulley had had it, my guess is (maybe old age and) the extreme heat of the desert toasted it. My old friends at Konstruct Performance in Santa Fe came through for us big time. Not only did they come into work on a Saturday, they pulled a tensioner off of their personal car to give to me. When we got the old part off it was pretty obvious that it wouldn't have made it much longer.
We spent the rest of the day and the next morning with my brother in Santa Fe. My brother, dog Cody, and I:
Car(s) at my parents house:
Back on the road leaving New Mexico:
Followed by a lot of this (the same route as the old Santa Fe Trail):
We stayed with Josh in Wichita Kansas... and his little dog too. (Kansas/Wizard of OZ pun intended.)
Breakfast just outside of Wichita, the sky was still glowing pink from the sun rise. At first I was like... "lol" and then i was like... "that sucks."
Dat ass
The entire state of Illinois and most of Indiana was under construction. It delayed us by nearly 2 hours. Disgruntled, tired, and generally just done driving at this point, I didnt really take too many pictures. Here's one last shot of the car fueling up at the Michigan/Indiana state line:

Get ready for massive news coverage tomorrow of the Democrats' Rules and Bylaws Committee, which might finally decide if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton gets the nomination. Then again, it might not. We hear from both sides playing out a scenario that would have been unbelievable on The West Wing. Also, the father of radical jihad calls for restraint, and despite a shortage of transplantable organs, Japanese gangsters got new livers at a major American hospital—with help from the FBI.

Synergy: As Egyptian Streets Burn, Fox Devotes Half-Hour To New Murdoch Publication
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
Late this morning, as Egypt's streets erupted in violence between protesters calling for Hosni Mubarak's removal and others defending him, Fox News turned its attention to what its apparently believed was the most important news of the day: News Corp.'s announcement of their new iPad-only publication, The Daily.
Beginning at 11 a.m. ET, the network devoted 30 consecutive minutes -- with no commercial interruptions -- to The Daily's launch.
Senior vice president of business news Neil Cavuto kicked off the cross-promotion, seeking to answer the question "what does this mean to me" by linking the publication's all-Internet format to what he termed the "Internet-driven" protests in Tunisia and Egypt.
After Cavuto engaged in a brief discussion with Fox Business' Shibani Joshi about whether readers will be willing to pay for The Daily (answer: absolutely!), the network devoted 16 uninterrupted minutes to a live shot of News Corp.'s launch event for the publication, starting with remarks by Rupert Murdoch.
Apparently already being inundated with criticism of the grotesque synergy on display, Cavuto then broke into the remarks of Apple vice president of Internet services Eddy Cue to defend the network's coverage:
CAVUTO: I'm already getting emails and bloggers going, "Oh, you're only covering this because your boss is Rupert Murdoch." Well, that might have something to do with it, but this is a big event in and of itself, how you look at news. I might remind those in news organizations that whenever Apple comes out with a product, whether they get top executives there or not, they seem to go full throttle on that product announcement because these tend to be cultural events that go beyond a given company. What Rupert Murdoch is trying to do here could go beyond a given company, or a given stock or a given population.
A few minutes later, as Cavuto continued to prattle on about the merits of his boss' new product, Fox began airing live footage of Cairo in a box on the screen under the caption, "Pro And Anti-Govt Protesters Clash."
And finally, after what was effectively a 30-minute commercial, Cavuto threw back to Fox News' regular coverage -- specifically, the "tremendous chaos erupting" on the streets of Egypt.
Of course, that wasn't the end of Fox's coverage of The Daily. The next hour, Cavuto returned for a 17-minute interview with Murdoch. Of course, in step with Fox's mantra, Murdoch balanced promotion of his new publication with attacks on President Obama.
If you're keeping track of Fox's standards for skipping regular coverage, the network is totally willing to pre-empt Glenn Beck to provide coverage of the unfolding events in Egypt. But miss out on Rupert Murdoch's new moneymaker? Perish the thought.

Providing Security during SHTF
We all talk about bug out or bug in. We have talked about SHTF and it's various forms. What about an off shoot of SHTF? Say you decide to stay, as will businesses. Have you ever given any thought to the idea of renting out your services like a security guard, personal protection etc..? Obviously people will need added security, heck they need it now.
Have you given this any thought? How would you approach this as to the gear you would need not to mention ammo and other items? This isn't a teotwawki question as I just don't really accept that possibility (so if it happens you can find me in the after life and say you told me so, but I probably won't care there either... just sayin...). I'm sure payment could be gear, gold, food... whatever is agreeable to the parties in question to make it worth while. I'm sure some will ask for the terrain in question, city, suburban, country... I have suburban all around so to me it would be that but it really depends on you.
Let's face it, I do electronic work and web site stuff so my primary occupational skills will be in a zero demand but in my secondary as a P.I. (yeah I got the classes done along with training... kinda feel like Humphrey Bogart, just not as dead), it does offer some advantages that could be of use.

I guess it all depends on what the exact scenario is.
Taking care of my family is number one, all else secondary.
But if the scenario is such that providing security or other services doesn't interfere with priority one, then why not?

Never really thought of hiring out for security, although after watching the news of Katrina, I'd thought of freelancing the garbage detail for a while.

We own a security alarm & fire alarm company, which turns out to be one of the more recessiion-resistant fields. In good times, people have extra money to spend on us; in bad times they're driven to us.
I work hard to not be the 'ambulance chaser' - no need really as most people in the area know us - but while the old line of "a rising tide lifts all ships" is true about good times being good times for most anyone, during bad times crime and worries increase, which is also good for our business.
Security is one thing that is (imo) a good business even in bad times.

I know, from experience the physical security( indsutrial/commercial) is a dog eat dog business. That will roller coaster up and down with the economy and any percieved threats; unless mandated for insurance/liability reasons.
Wish I had time to expound but I don't.
Okay I will somewhat by "physical" I mean warm bodies with a pulse(maybe) provided by the lowest bidder.
Post-SHTF this may change some or not depending on how much of the shallow end of the gene pool is left alive.
Have I grown a bit jaded about stuff like this? Well maybe a tiny bit.
Now I did work with a few fine people., I do mean a few, who I'd call the ones who made things work/got things done. Funny thing is the ones who were relible and worked their butt's off were the ones whom often got the treated the worst by their own companies.
Sometimes I think managment took lessons by reading the "Dilbert" cartoon in the newspaper.

I hear you on the treatment of security guards though. Seems like everyone from the customer to the company owner to the cops, deride & despise guards when things are good, but then abuse them even more when things go bad; no winning for those guys most times.
That said, even though the guards themselves largely get dumped on, that's not necessarily an indicator of the business itself being less than very profitable for the owner. The 'business' of security could still be a very good business from a profit standpoint where the owner is concerned.

Agreed, however I have a friend who said he would rather run from an armed criminal and leave his children and wife defenceless than face the attacker with a gun. How do you talk sense into people so naive?
Suprisingly there are many people here in Aus like that :P
Post SHTF I think militia groups could be hired by the wealthy upper class for security/warlord purposes, kind of like in africa at the moment. Actually the wartorn parts of africa are pretty damn fine examples of how a post SHTF world would function.

For some reason this question intrigues me more than a lot of other stuff I've come across on internet, 'gun forums'. It just so happens that, yes, I've thought a lot about this subject.
To me, running is out of the question. Me and mine ain't going to be, 'bugging out' anywhere. So, I guess that means, 'Custer's Last Stand' is going to have to take place, here, at home. The people who've been the most instructive and useful to me are (Who else?) FerFAL and, 'Ragnar Benson'. Their stories about urban survival inside a gutted-out, bankrupt, and violent society have helped me to form many of my own current survival hypotheses.
Sure, I've got our home property, 'mapped out' to be a suicide run for one or two intruders; but, it's not really one or two people that I'm worried about. Maybe, just maybe, I could take advantage of my intimate knowledge of the terrain and a superior ability with weapons to successfully engage a squad-sized group; but, it's the platoon-size group that I really worry about.
I've, slowly but surely, decided that my own survival and that of my family depends - not so much on myself, but - on mutual cooperation with my neighbors. Like all too many people, I don't really know my neighbors all that well; and, from what I see going on outside the front window, everyday, I'm sure I don't want to know any of them all that well, either.
Still, individually, each of us has a lot to lose; and, happily, I live in the midst of a cluster of very heavily armed neighbors to whom farming and the American, 'gun culture' are a way of life. I hear shots going off around here just about everyday. (There isn't a stray cat, ground hog, or coyote left, anywhere, within miles of here!) Mutual need AND common sense dictate that in the event of a serious, 'social emergency' it would behoove all of us to draw more closely together.
This is the most viable way I'm able to imagine for me and my own family to survive a relatively short-term social emergency. Perhaps fortuitously I live on one of the last large sections of farmland in the township. There's food here; there's water; and, if push comes to shove, there's also several, 'fallback positions' for us to take refuge in.
This is what my own idea of, 'hiring myself out' means. Would I work for strangers? No. What would I do if I needed to resupply? I'd use whatever, 'field-expedient' means were available to me at the time.
More pertinent questions than, 'Where would you run?' or, 'What would you accept as payment?' are, 'How long could you hold out?' or, 'Which neighbors would you be willing to, 'join hands' with in order to survive?'
Forget about helping strangers, or hiring yourself out. Concentrate instead on planning the one thing you will, sooner or later, be forced to do if you want to survive: Identify and plan for your own eventual need to resupply. (Because, at some point, you WILL be forced to become exactly like those against whom you are defending.)
The only way to avoid such adverse circumstances is to hope, to pray, that any significant social upheaval will be of the shortest possible duration because otherwise, ........
As for, 'marketable' personal skillsets? I have my specialties: I'm a damned fine gardener; an extraordinary long range marksman with a sound knowledge of guns and gunsmithing; and I am, also, an absolute master at building and reloading, both, shotgun shells and centerfire metallic cartridges.
What is more, I'm able to: locate, identify, and prepare about 30% of the wild growing plants on this farm. (As always the biggest problems are going to come in the wintertime.) Maybe this will be useful, or maybe it won't; but - give me 2 or 3 days, and - I could turn this entire place into a deathtrap for anything that moves.
(These talents I owe to a guy named, 'Ragnar Benson'; and, yes, I have a number of his, no longer published, early survival manuals. In fact, I consider Ragnar to be a genius at knowing how to stay alive under the most adverse of social circumstances!)
FerFAL is great at urban survival skills and, 'black market economics'. Ragnar, for his part, is fantastic for survival in both the city, and in the woods and fields.

I firmly believe that our economic system is headed for a major adjustment. Economics has become a hobby for me and what I see is at least massive inflation the kind that at least equals what was in Israel during the 80's but I believe it will be far worse. There is no way to avoid this and with the current politicians that we have, you can bet on the worst end of the scale.
With this said I still think that money can be made but setting yourself up for the right kind of play is needed. On another gun board the owner shuts down any topic that depicts bad times and he also states that "this is the time to buy land bro". If the economist that I am listening to (one of them is Peter Schiff) and their track record is pretty darn good by the way, then you can expect massive adjustments in real estate and that includes undeveloped land as well. I think many of the old school weathering stations are going to be shaken to the ground. One thing that won't be is the need for security.
We have all read the reports about police departments laying off. Then follows, "hey you should buy a gun to protect yourself" or the " I have 40,000 guns and my home is in the hills with a pitbull that has aids" discussion.
Time to be honest, could you imagine a third of the United States in a post katrinia type of situation? Everything would grind to a halt, marshal law would be put into place and with our current President... we would have our own Chavez for life. However If we as I think would get massive inflation, items would cost so much that black markets would spring up almost everywhere leading to a whole new economy almost over night.
I'm quite sure that any Tom, Dick and Harry would grab a gun and say they could do the job. You have guys that swear they are black ops but in fact are mall ninjas. Sorting through this chaos would take a little doing but for those that have prepped for a shtf scenario, I would think they would be in a better position to take advantage of this new economy. You know, the anti gunners always express their faulty belief that with guns on the streets, you could end up with the wild west and if things go as wrong as many folk think then they might be right but only in as far as the wild west type of stuff happening in the places with the most constrictive laws such as the northern states.
We can all agree that things are getting worse as far as personal responsibility is concerned. The government has no idea how to get us out of this other than spend, barrow (which no one is lending to the feds) or print money... say hello to inflation. In the past when things got bad people still had a measure of respect for authority but today the people praise the criminal and I think that is because they themselves are criminals. For the love of pete, just look at the general population! They are willing to have people feel them up and down (yeah, touching your wife in that special spot while they let the young 20 something guy with a one way ticket who has a towel wrapped on his head pass right through), look at them naked just for a false sense of security with air travel.
What I'm thinking is maybe an armed courier type of service. Where you could transport items or people.... leaving the neighborhood watch thing to the mall ninjas. Being as flexible as possible which would allow for the advantages of different opportunities. Hey, I'm thinking...

However, a lot of that catastrophe goes away if we stop pretending we can make the current system work, and declare insolvency like Russia did, and simply reorganize.
However, continuing with the thought, at first things will be a shootout. Just look at Juarez to see what happens when government is ineffectual and (for the most part) only criminals have guns.
I think up here things would be more like the wild west when people realize the fedgov is helpless in a widespread collapse. Namely, Sheriffs will exercise their power to deputize posses and they will go after the criminal element with a vengeance. I think there'll be a lot of violence, followed by some shooting by the citizenry, then by the deputized posse and increased rope usage for a while, then things will settle down into smaller localized economies, possibly with t he US Balkanizing into several smaller countries in the end.

I read an interesting interpretation on how the United States system was designed. In his discussion he stated the the States were suppose to act like "bulk heads on a ship", if one became insolvent then the damage would not spread to the others. However in our current system, the Feds have over a period of many years removed States rights and forced almost total dependency on the Fed for everything. When the US government took the United States off of the gold standard in the 70's we in fact declared bankruptcy to the world. This was the beginning of our Ponzi scheme. If we had some measure of restraint in fiscal policy then perhaps our children or grandchildren would be having this discussion. Liberal (and note I don't say democrat as republicans fall into this as well) fiscal and sociological policy for decades have been spend more and garner maximum control through dependency i.e. pork barrel projects. Inject this with the current big business accounting of only looking one quarter ahead instead of multi-year outlooks (which was changed for the shareholder) and you know have a recipe which entails utter disaster. Anyone who is a practicing Jew or Christian (since Christians share the old testament or Torah with the Jews and as I am a Christian I can speak to this... have no idea on other religions) knows of the commandment against exorbitant usury. Our entire system is designed on this type of slavery ie 30 and now 50 year mortgages??? Who can pay this off? Not many and this is what they wanted, a new complete system of slaves. One in which they do not have to feed you or provide any care. Just pay your over lord once a month and to keep you on the plantation they dangle a carrot of a bigger or better domicile for your future.
Like all things, greed is contagious and spread to all other industries. The Fed looked with glee knowing that they could usurp even more control because back in the 70's when the gold standard was removed it now allows them to print as much as they want and thus they can buy their way into any and everything. Total control is just a few revolutions on the printing press away. Problem filter to the surface but are swept under the rug... until the rug is on top of a mountain of deficit. Then the nations that have actual goods look at your money and realize it is worth far less than it has, your bond buyers (namely China) who now realizes that the threat you have made to go insolvent unless they buy more or your worthless bonds, have now gotten off of your currency and backed their own with gold. This gives their currency an actual value (although China is ready to implode due to many reasons).
Look in history and specifically at the fall of Rome. You'll see that overnight the currency became worthless as roman citizens buried their gold as they thought things would set right in just a few years... it did after the dark ages.
I'm not saying we are headed for another dark age, we are headed for something but I'm not a prophet so your guess is as good as mine. I do see that a version of SHTF is about to transpire. Where hard goods will themselves become a currency of sort and the ability to provide a transferable service that is of use to those with whom you wish to trade. Since I have a family then I would need food, medical attention and supplies ie clothing and such.
Juarez is an example however I feel that if our currency goes into a devaluation then the drug market will be effected in many unforeseen ways and one that I can see will cause the lack of profitability in said venture resulting in a movement of consolidation and abandonment of many markets.
A new economy with new opportunities develops but the transition is like a woman going through labor pains...

In a way I'm hired security already as a soldier. I recieve job offers in the private sector for my skills currently. SHTF I only see those offers increasing. If the pay and the odds are right I'm your security.
If I'm in "retirement" the only things that are going to motivate me are need and outstanding oppurtunity. SHTF and the bad guys show up in abrams tanks or endless marauding hoards then I've always imagined banding together with my neighbors. (Actaully I've been working on stacking the deck in keeping in contact with old freinds many from the army and have been arranging to purchase land together in a remote area to retire to so that as neighbors we can really rely on each other.) Like I already said even if it is TEOTWAWKI if the price is right...

1) These kids are sooooo cute!!! The drumming talent is one thing, but the faces they're making <swoon> rocker faces are the best when they're on 6 year olds. Or 3 year olds.
There's more at Huffington Post's slideshow at bottom of link. There's Tsung Tsung the little Hongkie pianist (he got invited on Ellen!), there's a boy who's been blind from birth, there's a boy with autism – all remarkably talented (btw especially re the boy with autism I'm not really surprised because I always think it can give rise to some amazing genius).

3) So these are the guys…. "Yeah, we broke the internet." The story of the biggest information superhighway jam in history. "History" is a word I find rather incongruous because information technology to me is so "young." Wish I could say the same about words like "war."
4) Gate To Hell Discovered. No this isn't some snarky remark about someone's school, this is the archaeological discovery of Pluto's Gate, a naturally-occurring cave where noxious fumes from deep within the earth are emitted – and which has served as an ancient pilgrim site believed to be the entrance to the underworld.

Newsmax confirms bid for Newsweek, claims magazine would "objectively report the news" under its ownership
Blog ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
Media Matters has obtained the following statement from a Newsmax spokesman regarding its interest in Newsweek:

The company's bid for Newsweek's print and online assets is congruent with its objective to diversify and expand into numerous distinct media brand offerings, like any major multi-title publisher.
Newsweek's staff, advertisers and readers can be assured that if Newsmax Media, Inc.'s bid is successful, Newsweek's stellar brand and editorial representation would remain distinct from our other brands. Newsweek would continue in its mission to objectively report the news and provide analysis from a wide spectrum of perspectives.

I love this!
Par Happygirl
de Kingston, Ontario
I had been wanting this for a while and finally decided to get it. I love how easy it is to use and how fantastic my skin looks! I was nervous because other people had said the battery doesn't last. I have left mine between charging for days and it still work well, so I have no complaints on that front. I didn't fully understand how to use the pore cleanser it came with at first, but now it is working well!

I've had this cleansing brush for about as long as it's been at The Shopping Channel and I love it. It's so nice to see a product that's a reasonable cost (especially the brush heads), and that does the job! Thanks for having a product that does what is says and doesn't cost a fortune for brush heads. This one is a keeper. Of course I love all of Dimitri's product line. He's very knowledgeable and it's a pleasure when he visits. I learn a lot and look forward to the next time he comes!

love it.
Par JANET
de NORTH YORK
I use this about once a week. I use it one my face, body and feet. Works great. The movement, even on the feet, does not tickle as other device do. I very much like it.Just make sure to put it in the charger the correct direction so it is charged whenever you want to use it.I have had my machine for over a year and the one brush I am using is still in great shape. The device does state not to press hard on your skin, and this is evident in that fact that the head is still in great shape. There is not a single bristle that is bent out of shape.My old device came with five different heads, for different applications, like putting on lotion. It would be nice if this device also offered other types of heads other than the different type of "cleaning" heads. A massaging head would also be great. You could then use it on your head and on your feet when they are sore.Love it. I have used a device like this for over 25 years. This one is in a class of its own.
Great product; works well!
Par TINA

I've had my cleanser for about 1 1/2 years now. I use it at least twice daily, and have had no problems with the unit. I have to admit, I only use it on my face, so I don't know what the longevity of the charge is if you would try to cover your whole body, but for what I wanted it for I'm very pleased with it's performance.

I,ve had the Skinn SkinnSonic for about two years now. It works great. Cleans my face wonderfully. I,ve had no problems with this machine at all. Just wanted to mention because of the previous review.
SkinnSonic Ultra Cleansing Set
Par Kel
de Oshawa, Ontario
It has taken me a while to fully use this unit properly. I really like how it makes my skin feel and the convinence of doing my facials in my own home. If I have any critic's it is that there were no insructions with the unit nor were the 3 brushes identified as to which each brush was to be used for. No problems with the battery life.
pretty good
Par MOONDUST
de LOWER MAIN LAND BC
I purchased a higher end facial scrubber from the shopping channel for my daughter. I then purchased the Skinn facial scrubber for myself and in comparision mine is not as luxurious as my daughters but still does a pretty good job. I find I must be careful in the pressure I apply as my scrubber is definelty courser on my skin than the other scrubber. All in all good price for the products performance.

So disappointed!
Par M.L.
de Montreal
I have had it for a while but I don't use it that often, so I was annoyed when it stopped holding a charge. I can't return it but I can warn others to not buy it.This is the second electronic device from Skinn that I bought. The other one went back after three days because it wouldn't hold a charge right out of the box.Dimitri's skin products are EXCELLENT because they are under his control, but I would never EVER buy an electronic device from this line again.

Worst Item Ever!!!!!
Par Extremely unhappy shopper
de Ontario
I only used it half a dozen times and it stopped working. I was very disappointed in the quality of the product. I couldn't return the item as I threw the Return Information away thinking that I would have no problems with it because TSC has never disappointed me before with the quality of their products. I guess never say never.

It is a waste of money!!!!!!!
Par Unhappy Shopper
I was so excited when my SkinnSonic Ultra Cleansing System arrived. I used it maybe 4 times and then it stopped working properly. I have it charging all of the time so one would think that it should be able to cleanse your whole face and neck before it stopped working. Well this unit didn't even clean half of my face and it would shut off. Great disappointment don't waste your money.

Woman attacked by dog on northeast side
An 86-year-old woman was hospitalized after a dog attack on the Indianapolis northeast side Sunday afternoon.
Police were called to the scene in the 5700 block of Oxford Street around 2:00 pm on a report of a woman being mauled by a dog.
When the officer arrived at the home, he saw a large pit bull mix attacking the woman. The officer used pepper spray on the dog, but it had no effect.
The officer distracted the dog, which turned its attention on the officer and began to lunge towards him. The officer had to shoot the dog three times to stop the animal from attacking him.
The woman was taken to Wishard Hospital in serious condition with severe injuries from dog bites on her arms and legs. Animal Control removed the dog's body for examination.

Thank you so much everyone. The whole week was an amazing experience. I just got home less than 1/2 hour ago. The last 48 hrs or so are still a bit of a blur. That drive home was real rough.
I'll have more updates tomorrow at some point. Thanks again everyone.
This message printed on 100% recycled electrons.
If second place is the first loser what does that make you?
Seriously congrat on the good drive. Hopefully it was a fun event for you.

I should mention that the list of entrants this year in STX was extremely impressive. Some very, very good drivers (and I'm sure as equally very well prepped cars) competing.
I should also mention that JR was less than one second out of first- that's after TWO days of competing
Going to your first national and trophying is quite an accomplishment to say the least
Hopefully after all these accolades he is still able to fit his head into his helmet -

Waterboarding Our Democracy
Posted on Dec 11, 2007
When the CIA destroyed those prisoner interrogation videotapes, was it also destroying the truth about 9/11? After all, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, the basic narrative of what happened on that day—and the definition of the enemy in this war on terror that George W. Bush launched in response to the tragedy—comes from the CIA's account of what those prisoners told their torturers. The commission was never allowed to interview the prisoners, or speak with those who did, and was instead forced to rely on what the CIA was willing to relay.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
How important to the 9/11 Commission Report were those "key witnesses"? Check out the disclaimer on Page 146 about the commission's sourcing of the main elements laid out in its narrative:
Videos were made of those "sensitive" interrogations, which were accurately described as "torture" by one of the agents involved, John Kiriakou, in an interview with ABC News. Yet when the 9/11 Commission and federal judges specifically asked for such tapes, they were destroyed by the CIA, which then denied their existence.
Square, Site wide, Desktop
Square, Site wide, Mobile
Pelosi press aide Brendan Daly told me that The Washington Post report on her CIA briefing was "overblown" because Pelosi, then the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, thought the techniques described, which the CIA insists included waterboarding, were merely planned and not yet in use. Pelosi claimed that "several months later" her successor as the ranking Democrat, Jane Harman, D-Calif., was advised that the techniques "had in fact been employed." Harman wrote a classified letter to the CIA in protest, and Pelosi "concurred." Neither went public with her concerns.
Harman told The Washington Post, "I was briefed, but the information was closely held to just the Gang of Four. I was not free to disclose anything." The "Gang of Four" is an insider reference to the top members of the House and Senate intelligence committees and not to the thugs who ran Mao's China during the Cultural Revolution.
Not only did the congressional Gang of Four fail to inform the public about the use of torture by our government, but it also kept the 9/11 Commission in the dark. Pelosi testified before the commission on May 22, 2003, but uttered not a word of caution about the methods used. However, more than two years later, on Nov. 16, 2005, Pelosi stated correctly that on the basis of her "many years on the intelligence committee," she knew that "[t]he quality of intelligence that is collected by torture is ... uncorroborated and it is worthless."
Having admired Pelosi for decades, I hope I am missing something here. If she and the others in the know have another version of these events it's time to come clean. As matters now stand, they not only concealed torture but, more significantly, they abetted the waterboarding of our democracy.

The fact that Ernest keep parroting the claim of the WTC 7 falling in "6.6" seconds while videos reveal it took much longer from the penthouse collapse, plus seismic data that shows it took 18 seconds, is one reason to not take him seriously. He will ignore any evidence that doesn't help him maintain his belief system, or he will manufacture in his mind a conspiratorial source for any such data.
Show him something from one point of view that supports his desired belief, and he sees it as solid, incontrovertible evidence. Show him something that doesn't support his desired belief, and it must be fake evidence produced by the conspiracy. Anyone who agrees with him, they are A-okay, anyone who does not must be part of a disinformation campaign. This is why it is pointless to debate people like him. You are literally talking to a logical brick wall. It is utterly and completely futile to try and wrest him away from his psychological deathgrip on the belief that he has special, secret knowledge of world events.
I am not saying this to insult you Ernest Canning, but I suspect you may have real psychological issues that need addressing by a professional. You are manifesting classic symptoms of Schizophrenia, which is treatable with medications. I hope I am wrong, but you owe it to yourself to seek out the opinion of a qualified mental health professional and tell them everything you have expressed here.

These conspiracy theories can be put to rest once and for all by the Administration. All they have to do is make available the information they have been keeping secret for the last 6 years. Let the CIA torturers give testimony as to what actually happened in the American gulags. Let the true responses of the suspects be told, let the burned and melted structural beams from ground zero which were whisked away be brought forward and analysed. Let the actual first hand witnesses testify under oath as to what they saw and didn't see. In other words let everything come out including the facts of prior knowledge or at least prior warnings. EVERYTHING!

To get back to the original topic, one motivation the CIA had to destroy these tapes should be clear, and needs no shady explanation. It can be summed up in two words: Abu Ghraib. The leaking of those photos to the media and public were a PR disaster for the US, especially in muslim countries where we are trying to win allies.
Does anyone doubt that CIA tapes of interrogations handed over to Congress would somehow get leaked to the press, and end up all over the media in a short time? Not only would it be more disastrous PR for the USA, and would be exploited to no end by Al Quaida, it would also compromise the effectiveness of a technique that the agency might need to use again in the future under emergency circumstances to prevent a major terrorist attack.
It's obvious the CIA is covering their own butts, but to suggest it supports some 9/11 conspiracy theory is just conjecture, just like suggesting that the tapes might have contained info about secret UFO bases, or the secret prison where the CIA is keeping Elvis.
By Truthdug, December 15, 2007 at 8:38 am Link to this comment
These days, the good people at the CIA, NSA, FBI who love their country and the American way of life, vastly outnumber any there who are serving ulterior motives. Anyone in the US government known to be involved in the 9/11 attacks would be long dead by now, or curled up in a ball in a prison cell. No traitor in Congress, the Whitehouse, the military, or anywhere else are beyond the reach of America's covert guardians.
They work every day to protect your freedom, your ability to speak freely, and your very existence. You will never know how many times they have saved your lives and saved this Republic from disaster. But go ahead and trash talk. They will keep serving America no matter what you think of them.

So now we know Pelosi knew about the warrantless wiretapping program months before 9/11/01, and that she knew about torture. We know she will not consider impeachment. We know the Democrats have lost every major battle theyve chosen in fact theyve just lost two more major ones within the last couple hours war funding and the energy bill. Are they complicit in the globalist agenda? We know that at least Hillary is (laughing off NAFTA as a bunch of charts).

AG MuKasey.."I think the Justice Department is capable of doing whatever it appears needs to be done," Mukasey said. "The question of a special prosecutor is the most hypothetical of hypotheticals, and that isn't going to be faced until it happens. And if it has to be, it will be."
Mukasey may have a conflict of interest problem already, and may have to call upon a Special Prosecutor.
Jose Padillas lawyers argued before the Florida Federal Court that Abu Zubaydah was tortured into saying Padilla was an al Qaeda associate. The DOJ dismissed Padillas allegations as meritless, asserting Padillas legal team could not prove that Abu Zubaydah had been tortured. Well, its clear now that they certainly COULD have, if the tapes of the interrogations of Abu Zubaydah had been made available!
Now here is where Mukaseys role comes into question. U.S. District Judge Mukasey, now attorney general, was the one who signed the warrant used by the FBI to arrest Padilla in May 2002. Court records show the warrant relied in part on information obtained from Abu Zubaydahs interrogation. So we have a problem Houston.
The Attorney General can only issue a warrant based upon legally obtained evidence, and confessions under torture are certainly not legally obtained. So either Mukasey was misrepresented the evidence, and would be liable to be potentially a party in those who were presented with perjured evidence; or he knew that torture was used in obtaining the confession and ignored it.
In either case he is unsuitable to run an investigation, as it will, inevitably, involved himself. Thus a Special Prosecutor is necessary.

The ABC News story that featured the waterboarding CIA officer, John Kiriakou, was very clear on the point of 9/11.
According to Brian Ross, "Al-Qaeda leaders were not expecting the 9/11 attacks would kill so many. It was only supposed to be a wake up call".
This suggests that Al-Qaeda leaders didn't expect the WTC towers to collapse into dust (since they hadn't personally wired them to explode). Presumably this line of reasoning has occurred to both Kiriakou and ABC News… They'd be too stupid if it hadn't.
Are we witnessing what a truly 'pancaking structure' looks like now, with all the floors collapsing from too much water?

No, Madam Speaker, covering up the truth about 9/11 is not a trivial matter, and your role in the cover up is not 'overblown'.

The WTC jets didn't hit one continuous concrete or steel wall as in the Air Force test crash video on YouTube. Some parts of the planes impacted steel beams or concrete walls (elevator shaft) while passing through the WTC, disintegrating into aluminum dust particles, and other parts hit mostly glass, drywall, furniture, etc, decelerating more slowly and remaining in solid chunks in the building that later melted and dripped as molten metal out of the sides. Some parts, perhaps harder/heavier steel parts or bits that hit fewer solid barriers, traveled all the way through to blast out the other side with the fireball from the ruptured wing tanks.

There are too many mass market, boring beers out there that all taste the same with the only difference being the fancy advertising and the manufactured brand identity.

summer wheat - german wheat ale - (ABV 4.7)
A mild version of a traditional German wheat beer. Our Wiessbier is not filtered but is relatively clear. With low bitterness and yeast driven aromas and flavours of clove and banana this is an easy drinking beer that will take you back to the Biergartens of Germany, Prost!
seasonal new world pilsner - pilsner - (ABV 5.0)
New world German and New Zealand hops both in the boil and dry hopped give this beer a unique hoppy and very crisp finish. The simple malt bill of Pilsner and small amount of specialty malts help to perfectly balance the hop profile. An easy drinker that will have you coming back for more!
Our Pale Ale takes inspiration from both sides of the Atlantic. American yeast and English style malts combined with Cascade and Enigma hops strike the perfect balance of caramel and biscuit malts. A pleasant grapefruit hop kick rounds it all off.
nineteen ten - american barley wine - (ABV 11.4)
The grand daddy of beers, brewed to celebrate the year our brewery building was constructed. Made from the rich first runnings of the mash. This is a complex beer that needs to warm up for the drinker to truly enjoy the experience. Rich malt and tropical fruit abound in the aroma of the beer which finishes big and smooth. Not for the faint hearted and best enjoyed with food.
Coal miners stout - stout - (ABV 5.5)
Taking out a bronze medal in the 2015 CBIA awards and in the AIBA in 2016, our stout is rich and roasty with hints of chocolate and smoke. Boasting a thick mouthfeel and plenty of flavour, this is a stout to be savoured.
S'more than a feeling - sweet stout - (ABV 9.2)
This beer is out of the box. Brewed for GABS Festival 2016 it includes marshmallows, cocoa and biscuits, this coupled with lactose and smoked chocolate malt makes this beer the liquid form of the camp fire favourite S'mores. A bronze medal winner in the Australian International Beer Awards in 2016.

The Location.
Ipswich, an industrial town with a large number of men employed at the railway workshops, the woollen mills and coal mines in an era where technical education was greatly needed. At an auspicious meeting held on 26 June 1891, attended by leading citizens of Ipswich a resolution was handed down stating "the time has come for a Technical College to be formed in Ipswich".
Funds raised by the local community of £1000 combined with a government grant of £2000, works began on an architect design of a Grand Public Building by George Brockwell Gill. Construction began in 1897 by contractor H Woodford and brickworks by G Williams. The purpose built college was a memorial to the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria whom unfortunately passed two weeks prior to her visit to the College.
From 1901 to 1941 saw the construction of four Stately buildings (and expansions) that would later provide key adaptive reuse elements for unique heritage conservation. In 1901 the main building (Block A), a two storey brick masonry building (with basement) was constructed on the corner of Limestone and Ellenborough Streets. With its heavily ornamented and eclectic façade the building is symmetrically framed by identical breakfronts and a cornered entrance.
Prior to the construction of the Technical College the site was the original site for the supply of water to the City of Ipswich hence the name 'Pumpyard'.

Newbie here. New to Tennessee and never plan on leaving. Found a great job and a great place to live. Have already taken a nice deer with the bow. I was able to catch a great fly fishing weekend on the Hiwassee River in September when I took my wife backpacking at Reliance. After reviewing some of the posts in this chat room, it appears that everyone is in this great search for the almighty waterfowl together.
Anyways, the question is, is there any freelance boat blind hunting available here? I am in Nashvegas and I am willing to travel, camp out, blah, blah. 18 foot center console hunting cadillac with great killer weed infested pop up blind, heaters, 60hp Suzuki 4 stroke, 12 doz dekes (GHG Gads, mallards, divers, Canadians), mallard machine, mojos. What can I say. I love buyin' toys. I also have a nice layout boat that I hunt regularly when buds are not with me in "Swamp Thing" (the boat).
I have been up to Ballard County, Carlysle County, and Hickman Kentucky. All Main River (sucks) hunting or lease hunting there until the mighty river gets out, at which point I can go up and fight for places in the Hickman Bottoms above Bayou de Chien. So now I am looking back closer to home. Hickory, Percy Priest, all the way to ReelFoot or on the Tennessee. Are the WMA's about and all hunting around KY Lake and Paris Landing bling hopping only? Someone please help me out here?
I do not have much to offer in return. However, I am looking to make a few hunting pals. I have 1100 acres of primo hunting land in Carlysle Co Kentucky. 50% ag fields (corn/beans) and 50% hardwood bottoms with a nice farmhouse that we can use anytime. It is a family property / get away place that we have owned forever. I can guarantee bow hunts and Spring Turkey hunts anytime. We are overpopulated with both. However, I do not do much bowhunting once the ducks start a-flyin!! Anyways, throw me a bone here!! Thanks in advance and sorry this was so long winded.

Can I access my Moodle account, WebAdvisor or email from off campus?
How long will I have access to my WebAdvisor account after I graduate/leave CWC?
Indefinitely. If you don't remember your user name or password, call the Helpdesk at 1-877-CWC-DESK (292-3375). You can also reset your password at myCentral.
I am a CWC student having problems with my personal computer/laptop. Can you help me?
Sorry, but the IT staff cannot help with problems on a student's personal computer. Ask around campus and there are lots of students that are "computer geeks" that are usually glad to help out. If that doesn't work out, you will need to contact a computer service company.

If you recently registered, it may be that your Moodle account is not yet set up. Have you changed your name since your Moodle class was set up? Contact the Helpdesk.
I want to use the on-line tutoring available from Smartthinking.com and it is asking for a user name and password.
Smartthinking is now a link found on the myCentral page after logging in. It is found under the QuickLaunch titled myTutor. No user name or password is required.
I'm in my on-line class in Moodle but I don't know how to maneuver around the class. How do I access the Discussion Board and participate in discussions? How do I submit my assignments? How do I email my instructor?
Visit the Moodle Student FAQ and it should answer your questions. If you still have questions, it would be best to contact your instructor, as each instructor sets up his or her own class.
I'm locked out of my account. What do I do?
For security reasons, your account will be locked after five unsuccessful tries entering your password. If the IT Helpdesk is open, call or stop by and someone can unlock your account immediately; otherwise, your account will unlock itself in 15 minutes.

Finally, I can have Daddy ALL to myself now that Mommy is visiting family and friends in Arizona! And I'll have him especially to myself when Mommy and Samy leave for Ohio for a month or 2 for Jaymie's wedding! I love my Daddy much more than my mommy because I've been raised by him.. And when he went into the military, he left for over a year and it was very sad! But, having him all to myself will be so great! I'm not even sad that Mommy is gone right now.. I had a few depressed moments when she first left, but, now I'm enjoying it :) *Paws to all my friends*
I have been a lazy little pup all day today! Lots of sleeping, although, I was pretty hyper when Mommy's friend Duffy and grandpa came over.. Mommy took me on our daily walk, fed me my food (although I haven't been eating as much of it lately.. but, I still chow down), and played our ball for a little while! We were supposed to go to Flagstaff this weekend to meet our other grandma and step-grandpa, but, Daddy has to work.. bummer! Oh well, I'm going to go sleep some more.. Good Night!!!

North Florida Christian (Tallahassee, Fla.) two-way standout Jakari Allen collected multiple offers during the spring of 2013, one of which came from the East Carolina Pirates.
"It was the Defensive Back Coach Rick Smith," the 5-foot-11 Allen said. "He came to NFC (North Florida Christian) and talked to my coach. After that I was called to coach's office and that's when he offered me on the spot."
Allen hadn't heard much about the Pirates before his offer and doesn't remember seeing them play on television. He said Rick Smith told him that it was a good program and a great place to be, while also mentioning the loyal fan base in Greenville.
Since receiving his offer, Allen wanted to see the school himself. He just got back from a recent visit to campus.
"I visited last week," he said. "I liked it a lot, I toured the campus and me and some other players did some drills for Coach (Rick) Smith. I also got to see all of the football facilities, I enjoyed the experience."
Allen plans on being an art major in college. He knows ECU has a good art program which is another plus for the school.
As a junior, Allen played well on both sides of the ball. Defensively he finished with 42 tackles and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. As a receiver, a position he only played in the second half of the season, he had 17 receptions for 231 yards and 4 touchdowns. He has plans to improve his senior season.
"I did well last season," Allen said. "I want to work on man coverage more though. Also last year I didn't play as much receiver so it took time to get a feel for it. I'll play more next season and should have better stats."
Allen enjoys playing both cornerback and wide receiver; he said he doesn't have a preference at the college level. With his size, speed and style of play there's also no reason why he couldn't play safety. He said Coach Rick Smith told him playing safety could be a possible move if he commits.
The schools that have offered Allen include ECU, Marshall, Samford, Appalachian State and Jacksonville State. He said he's been in contact with some of the schools and has visits planned.
"I talked to the Marshall coach a little bit more," Allen said. "I may go up to Samford for a camp on July 13th."
When asked about his top schools, Allen had the Pirates at the top of his list.
"ECU is number one right now," he said. "Marshall is number two and I would probably say Appalachian State comes in at number three."
The rest of summer will be relatively busy for this recruit. He plans on taking visits to Marshall and Appalachian State in July along with the camp he may attend at Samford.
The Pirates pretty much have this recruit on board; he's just waiting on his time to commit.
"Coach (Rick) Smith said he'd call me in two or three weeks to let me if I can commit or not," Allen said. "If I can, then I'll likely do it before summer is over."
ECU's spring recruiting trip to Florida is beginning to pay off. Allen is one of three recruits this week that have told me the Pirates are at the top of their lists. It obviously is paying off to have Defensive Coordinator Rick Smith back in the recruiting game, his Florida connections seem to be spreading the Pirate Nation throughout the "Sunshine State."

Inside Lacrosse talks to No. 46 Young Gun junior Bud Graham about his verbal commitment to the Statesmen.
Position: Attack
High School: Culver Military Academy, Ind.
IL Ranking: No.46 Young Gun Junior
Class: 2012
Summer '10: Jake Reed's Nike Blue Chip Rising Junior Camp, Orangeville Junior A/B Northmen
Height: 6-1
Weight: 225 lbs.
Stats/Honors: 2010 - 59 goals, 6 assists; 2009 - 49 goals, 11 assists, 2x All State Attack
Other Schools Considered: UMass, Stony Brook, Providence , Notre Dame
How did the commitment process go for you?
For the most part, the commitment process went quite well. It was a little overwhelming at first because it is such new territory and a lot to take in at once, which proved to be stressful at times. I had a great support system, though; my coach, Jon Posner, helped me navigate the process and made it all go very smoothly.
What were the reasons behind making your verbal commitment?
As soon as I stepped foot onto Hobart's campus, I felt at home and very welcome. Throughout my college search, I had been looking for a school with a strong sense of community and that is precisely what I found at Hobart. Academically, Hobart's small class sizes were a definite draw for me, allowing the opportunity to get to know the professors on a more personal level. From the lacrosse perspective, all of the coaches and players were very welcoming, and I was extremely impressed with the style of play. The fact that Hobart is also close to my home in Canada was a key factor in my decision. All of these factors made me feel like Hobart was the right fit for me.
How did your university visit go?
My visit to Hobart was a great experience. I had an awesome time meeting the other players and the coaches. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay with two of my former teammates from Culver. It was great to see them again and hear about their Hobart experience. The entire trip, from start to finish, was fun and gave me a great sense of what the school has to offer.
What are you best lacrosse attributes?
I would consider my best lacrosse attributes to be my ability to catch unpredictable balls and to finish.
What would you like to work on over the next two seasons?
The goals I have set for myself are to become a more well-rounded player with a greater ability to feed the ball.

Forty-five years after disappearance, family still searches for little girl
Jacob McCleland
CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KRCU) – A Cape Girardeau family is still searching for a little girl who vanished into thin air 45 years ago. Elizabeth Ann Gill, who also went by Beth, disappeared on June 13, 1965. She was playing in front of her yard on Lorimer Street in Cape Girardeau. She was two years old at the time.
Beth Gill is the longest registered missing child in the state of Missouri.
August 21st is her birthday, and the City of Cape Girardeau will honor the date as "Elizabeth Ann Gill Day."
Elizabeth "Beth" Gill is the youngest of ten siblings. One of her older sisters, Martha Gill-Hamilton, still lives in Cape Girardeau. She and her other siblings have brought their missing sister's disappearance back into the spotlight, and Detective Jim Smith of the Cape Girardeau Police Department has revived the cold case.
Martha Gil-Hamilton's recollection of what happened on June 13, 1965 is a little different than that of her siblings. She was out of town with her mother and aunt that day, coming back from Chicago. Her father, an electrician, was at work in St. Louis. Two-year old Beth, the baby of the family, was in the care of older siblings.
"The kids had been playing outside. It was a beautiful June day. And suddenly somebody said, 'Where's Beth?' And they couldn't find her," Martha says. "It had not been over ten minutes since they had seen Beth. So they immediately started searching the neighborhood. They called my older sister and said 'What do we do?' She said, 'Call the police.' The police were there within twenty or thirty minutes of Beth being missed, so it wasn't like they had waited too long to notify the authorities."
When Martha crossed the Mississippi River Bridge with her mother and aunt, they immediately knew that something in town was askew. Police cars were actively patrolling the streets and an unusually large number of people were out and about in the neighborhoods near the bridge.
It didn't take long for the realization to set in that the focal point of attention was their home. When they pulled up in front of the house, another aunt delicately descended the stairs to the street. "Mom got out of the car, and she said, 'Beth is missing.'" Martha says, followed by a long pause. "That's how it unfolded. From there it was like chaos at the home."
Police and volunteer searchers scoured the neighborhood and adjoining areas. Search dogs were dispatched to the Mississippi River. Gawkers stared at their Lorimer Street home. Martha's father was contacted in St. Louis. But still, there was no trace of the two-year old girl. Not that day. Nor the next. Nor the following the week.
It was apparent that Beth had not simply wandered off. Somebody had taken her. There was no evidence of the toddler at all.
Martha says that the police actively searched for her sister for the first three or four years, and then dwindled off. However, she says, hope remained that Beth would be found. "I spoke to Irvin Beard, who was chief of police, a few years before he died. And he never gave up looking," she recalls.
After a nearly 40 year lull, Beth's case regained attention about 5 years ago. Most of the case files had been lost. Beth's family provided the PD with the information that they had gathered, and eventually convinced the department to re-open the case. Detective Jim Smith, who handles cold cases in Cape Girardeau, took on Beth's disappearance. Some new leads are currently under investigation.
Martha and the rest of her family have more tools available to help them search for Beth. They've made extensive use of internet chat forums, social media, and DNA samples to raise awareness about her case. Individuals have come forward, wanting to be tested, to see if they may in fact be Beth. No match has yet been found.
The disappearance of a family member is a nightmarish scenario. The pain will never fully go away, but Martha says that families can at least come to grips with the tragedy by reaching out to each other.
"The event in itself is so painful that families don't want to talk about it. Initially, this was going to be very difficult for my mother to go back through, but actually it's brought somewhat of a sense of healing because now she feels like she has done something positive for Elizabeth," she says.
Elizabeth Ann Gill's family will mark her 48th birthday on Saturday, August 21st at Old St. Vincent's Church in Cape Girardeau at 10:00 a.m. The event will mark the official designation of August 21st as Elizabeth Ann Gill Day. A balloon launch will follow the ceremony.

Mexican stand-off between Stiverne-Arreola

After walking into the lion's den and coming away victorious, handlers of the WBC #1 ranked Bermane Stiverne (23-1-1, 20 KOs) are balking about a venturing to Mexico for a proposed rematch with Chris Arreola (36-3, 31 KOs) for the now vacant crown. "I don't want to go to California, why would I want to go to Mexico?" Stiverne's manager Camille Estephan told FightNews.
The proposed June bout between the number one and number two contenders who met last April with Stiverne winning a convincing 12 round decision now has Villahermosa, Mexico as a possible location.
"We're going to have evaluate things," said Estephan, "It's not like us to back away from challenges, ever; we never have in the past. Will we now? We will have to take a smart decision, a business decision, there's other fights out there for us, but we really want that belt."
Mexico is being trumpeted as a possible location given California born Arreola's Mexican heritage and the fact that WBC is centered in that country. Villahermosa has averaged less than one fight card per year over the last seven years but has seen names such as Deontay Wilder and Roberto Ortiz fight there within the last 12 months.
"Honestly I forget the name of the city," said Estephan, "I checked it out on Wikipedia, it's half a million population in the middle of nowhere. Originally when they said Mexico, I had envisioned a place like Cancun, but when I saw what it really is, I just said.wow."
The event is a co-promotion between Don King and Dan Goosen.
"If it wasn't a Mexican fighter, I'd go happily. We beat him in his home town the first time; I think it is time we get a break. We're number one, HE's number two, it should be where we want it to be. It would be huge for them to see a Mexican heavyweight fighting for the world championship for the first time in history; but it doesn't mean we're going. I'm going to have to sit down with my legal council and decide."
