I live right off the Pacific Coast in Huntington Beach California. I live less than 1/4 of a mile away from the beach.Needless to say, I got my car packed with what I need and am ready to bounce in the next hour.Funny thing is that 1/2 hour ago, 3 am Pacific Time, I went to go fill my car with gas. I talked to two other dudes there, and they were clueless about the tsunami in Japan.
Is there a reason that 9 months ago the Nazi fraudster decepticons at NASA went batshit crazy with all of their solar tsunami armageddon psyops?Just look at the news reports at the end of 2009 fueled by NASA's crack investigators who have robbed the American people out of $Trillions and who have created the eye in the sky with the NRO and other anti-constitutional Bilderberg monsters.Mystery of the Solar Tsunami—Solved11.19.2009 http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/news/solar_tsunami.htmlSometimes you really can believe your eyes. That's what NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) is telling researchers about a controversial phenomenon on the sun known as the "solar tsunami."Years ago, when solar physicists first witnessed a towering wave of hot plasma racing across the sun's surface, they doubted their senses. The scale of the wave was staggering: It rose up higher than Earth itself and rippled out from a central point in a circular pattern millions of kilometers in circumference. Skeptical observers suggested it might be a shadow of some kind—a trick of the satellite's eye—but surely not a real wave."Now we know," says Joe Gurman of the Solar Physics Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "Solar tsunamis are real."The twin STEREO spacecraft confirmed their reality in February 2009 when sunspot 11012 unexpectedly erupted. The blast hurled a billion-ton cloud of gas (a coronal mass ejection, or CME) into space and sent a tsunami racing along the sun's surface. STEREO recorded the wave from two positions separated by 90 degrees, giving researchers an unprecedented view of the event."It was definitely a wave," says Spiros Patsourakos of George Mason University, lead author of a paper reporting the finding in Astrophysical Journal Letters. "Not a wave of water, but a giant wave of hot plasma and magnetism."The technical name is "fast-mode magnetohydrodynamical wave," or "MHD wave" for short. The one STEREO saw reared up about 100,000 kilometers high, raced outward at 250 km/second (560,000 mph), and packed as much energy as 2.4 million megatons of TNT (1029 ergs). Solar tsunamis were discovered in 1997 by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). In May of that year, a CME came blasting up from an active region on the sun's surface, and SOHO recorded a tsunami rippling away from the blast site."We wondered," recalls Gurman, "is that a wave, or just a shadow of the CME overhead?" SOHO's single point of view was not enough to answer the question—neither for that first wave nor for many similar events recorded by SOHO in years that followed.The question remained open until after the launch of STEREO. At the time of the February 2009 eruption, STEREO-B was directly over the blast site, while STEREO-A was stationed at a right angle —"perfect geometry for cracking the mystery," says co-author Angelos Vourlidas of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The physical reality of the waves has been further confirmed by movies of the waves crashing into things. "We've seen the waves reflected by sunspots," says Vourlidas. "And there is a wonderful movie of a solar prominence oscillating after it gets hit by a wave. We call it the 'dancing prominence.'"Solar tsunamis pose no direct threat to Earth, but they are important to study. "We can use them to diagnose conditions on the sun," notes Gurman. "By watching how the waves propagate and bounce off things, we can gather information about the sun's lower atmosphere available in no other way.""Tsunami waves can also improve our forecasting of space weather," adds Vourlidas, "Like a bull-eye, they 'mark the spot' where an eruption takes place. Pinpointing the blast site can help us anticipate when a CME or radiation storm will reach Earth."And they're pretty entertaining, too. "The movies," he says, "are out of this world."Related Links:Do Solar Tsunamis Exist?

RIGHT ON TIME!The 9 month incubation period has produced the perfect NUKE FALSE FLAG COVER STORY FOR THE GAIA PSYCHOS...Solar Tsunami to Strike Earthhttp://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/08/03/spectacular-northern-lights-signals-sun-waking/Published August 03, 2010 FoxNews.comNASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory snapped this X-ray photo of the Sun early in the morning of Sunday, August 1st. The dark arc near the top right edge of the image is a filament of plasma blasting off the surface -- part of the coronal mass ejection. The bright region is an unassociated solar flare. Earth is bracing for a cosmic tsunami Tuesday night as tons of plasma from a massive solar flare head directly toward the planet. The Sun's surface erupted early Sunday morning, shooting a wall of ionized atoms directly at Earth, scientists say. It is expected to create a geomagnetic storm and a spectacular light show -- and it could pose a threat to satellites in orbit, as well. "This eruption is directed right at us and is expected to get here early in the day on Aug. 4," said Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "It's the first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some time."Way to go Nazi NASA Gaia psychopaths. You could not make up such bullshit about the amazing coincidence of a directed plasma ray to target Earth if you were Timothy Leary. The only plasma coming here is caused by these guys...
Haarp Top Secret Plasma Weaponhttp://wn.com/HAARP_TOP_SECRET_PLASMA_WEAPON
HAARP, Haiti, Brzezinski and the NWOhttp://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/printer_5495.shtmlBy Jerry Mazza Online Journal Associate EditorExcerpt...Yet a 1990 government document claims that the radio frequency (RF) power bolt can drive the ionosphere to "unnatural" activities. Quoting the authors . . ."at the highest HF powers available in the West, the instabilities commonly studied are approaching their maximum RF energy dissipative capability, beyond which the plasma process will 'runaway' until the next limiting factor is reached." The program operates out the University of Alaska Fairbanks (in Sarah Palin-land), providing a ground-based "Star Wars" technology, offering a relatively inexpensive defense shield.But the University also boasts about the most mind-boggling geophysical manipulations since nuclear bombs of which HAARP is capable. It's based on the work of electrical genius Nicholas Tesla and the work and patents of Texas' physicist Bernard Eastlund. The military has deliberately underestimated the deadly possibilities of this uber technology, most pointedly in this case to create earthquakes with the generation of bolts of electrical power aimed at specific targets.In fact, HAARP's potential for havoc drew the attention of none other than Zbigniew Brzezinski, former NSA adviser to Jimmy Carter, science advisor to President Johnson, and political advisor to President Obama.More than 25 years ago, when Brzezinski was a professor at Columbia University, he wrote, "Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the brain and human behavior [another strange purpose HAARP can be put to]. Geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald, a specialist in problems of warfare, says accurately-timed, artificially-excited electronic strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain legions of the earth . . . in this way one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period."He capped this statement with "no matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behavior for national advantages, to some, the technology permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades." Let me tell you, dear readers, it's here.As of 1970, Brzezinski predicted HAARP could be used for "a more controlled and directed society" linked to technology. This society would be dominated by an elite group which impresses voters by allegedly superior scientific know-how." Furthermore, Dr. Strangelove states, "Unhindered by the restrains of traditional liberal values, this elite [the New World Order of today] would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Technical and scientific momentum would then feed on the situation it exploits."And thus spake Brzezinski, who also predicted that it would take an inciting incident like Pearl Harbor (i.e., 9/11) to engage the normally peaceful American population to go to war on a march for world hegemony (i.e., The War on Terror). And he was spot on.Zbig is not afraid, in fact, is lauded for thinking down avenues that would make most of us shiver with disgust. Regrettably, his forecasts tend to prove accurate, because they inspire the worst people to do the worst things. And so, these "tools for the elite" and their temptation to use them increases incredibly. The policies to use them are in place. As to the "stepping stones" that could be used to reach this highly controlled techno-society, Brezinski expected them to be "persisting social crisis" and the use of mass media to gain the public's confidence. Again, he's spot on.Way back in 1966, Professor Gordon J.F. MacDonald, then associate director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UC, Los Angeles, was a member of President Johnson's Science Advisory Committee and later a member of the President's Council on Environmental Quality. He actually wrote a chapter called "How to Wreck the Environment" in his book, Unless Peace Comes. Of course, this came at the height of the Vietnam brutality. Given the aura of violence similar to today's, Gordon described in his chapter, among other things, "polar ice cap melting or destabilization, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake engineering, ocean wave control and brain wave manipulation using the planet's energy fields."

From over a month ago...
AJ said: "how do you even know about this stuff, that would be highly classified material"the issue is that there is a possibility of not being able to stop the experiment once it starts. similar to the nuts that knew there was a risk with the atom bomb that the world would be destroyed. But you know our fine MIC...gotta be on the cutting edge. We need plasma shields to protect from Al-CIA-duh!anyone know about this?
In the 2008 movie "The Happening" mankind is assaulted by biochemical weapons that destroys their natural survival instincts leading victims to fearlessly commit suicide by walking into a lion's den or throwing themselves under a lawn mower.In the final frames of this movie we see a school bus and on that bus a large number is visible: 2010Now 2010 has arrived and we read bizzare stories of shrimp drugged on prozac committing suicide as they fearlessly throw themselves into danger.http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/stories/shrimp-on-prozac-commit-suicideToday Alex Jones released an impassioned video "The Media pushes brain eating vaccines" where he warns us that the same attack is being carried out against mankind. http://www.infowars.com/establishment-media-pushes-brain-eating-vaccines/Vaccines are being used to deliver live virus bioweapons that re-engineer our brains by destroying our natural survival instincts. This at the same time a sudden chorus of academics are pushing sedating the masses by adding toxic lithium to the water supply. As Alex explains, this combined biochemcal assault will render the masses unable to resist the globalists as they carry out the next phases of their incremental plan of global enslavement and extermination.Those seeking the destruction of mankind operate under a code requiring them to give advance notice. Could the prominent but fleeting date of "2010" in the movie "The Happening" have been a warning that this is the year we would all be thrown under the biochemical bus?Mark
As to the "stepping stones" that could be used to reach this highly controlled techno-society, Brezinski expected them to be "persisting social crisis" and the use of mass media to gain the public's confidence. Again, he's spot on.
So, I was reading this article (I think it has already been linked to by other people on here - since Alan Watt linked to it a couple of days ago - but as far as I know, this is the original article and contains some more stuff that the link Alan Watt put up did not have ) - and it made mention of this consortium called Global Business Network. The English Ideology and WIRED MagazinePart Three Of ThreeTechno-Utopianism: The Final Imperial Solutionby Mark Stahlman November 22nd, 1996 http://web.archive.org/web/20011226171744/www.rewired.com/96/Fall/1122.htmlThis snippet in particular piqued my curiosityQuoteNo less chilling is the scenarios planning exercise that WIRED's wizards-behind-the-curtain perform on their multi-national clients. From General Motors to AT&T, the Global Business Network (GBN) charges hefty sums to show the yellow-brick-road towards "ByteCity" to strategic planners and top corporate brass. In one recent and rare public discussion of the results, GM's top planning team defined the three "alternative futures" which emerged after years of GBN counseling. The first is just like our world and, so by definition, is not very interesting. The second is an eco-fascist regime in which car designs are completely "Green" and the companies can only follow orders. The third is the fun one, however. This is the world in which armed gangs roam the streets and surface travel is a series of car chases. This scenario has already been anticipated with a Cadillac that includes armored protection and a "panic" button installed in the middle of the dashboard. The car has a satellite tracking system built in and it can call the local authorities (presumably your multi-national's private swat-team) and get help when you get trapped by the natives. So naturally, I looked into Global Business Network. This consortium is kind of like Wells 'The Samurai' corporate overlord board - every bigwig company you can imagine that is into some type of big industry is among its members.Global Business Networkhttp://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Global_Business_NetworkFunding / Members - CorporationsI don't have time to list all of the companies, so let's just list for the sake of interest some of the key companies that consider themselves to be members - these companies also provide for the organization's funding:http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Global_Business_Network#FundingAT&TBechtelBooz Allen & HamiltonCoca-Cola CompanyDow ChemicalDuPontEDS (Electronic Data Systems)Fannie MaeFreddie MacExxonMobilGeneral ElectricHeineken (My note: The Dutch beer-brewer)Hewlett Packard/HPIBM (My note: Big surprise, huh?)IntelL'OrealLucent CorporationMicrosoftMonsantoProcter & GambleReutersSandia National LaboratoriesShell Oil/Dutch Royal ShellToyotaSun Microsystems (My note: See, I don't want to hear anymore crap from some techies that Sun Microsystems was 'once' good prior to being taken over by the evil 'Oracle' - to hell with that - they were ALWAYS part of the hive mind - stop sucking up to controlled opposition is my message to these people - forget about the SPARC processors and all that shit and realize these guys didn't give a rip about you, the individual, or any semblance of human dignity - same as all the other corporate technocrats)XeroxThe list is far longer than this, but you get the drill - any corporation worth its salt is a member and/or provides funding for it.Stewart Brand, Whole Earth Catalog, Wired Magazine, Global Business NetworkThis ties back into Stewart Brand - the guy behind the Whole Earth Catalog, the founding of Wired Magazine, and the main progenitor of this entire techno-utopia 'scientific dictatorship' that the Unabomber railed against. Coincidentally, he was also a co-founder of Global Business Network. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Stewart_BrandQuoteBrand is a co-founder of the Global Business Network (GBN) (1988) [4]; the The Long Now Foundation (1995) [5], "whose core project is the construction of a 10,000 year clock called The Clock of the Long Now"; the ALL Species Foundation (2001) [6], "to find and document every life form on Earth" [7]; and the Long Bets Foundation (2001), "an arena for competitive, accountable predictions" and "to foster better long-term thinking." [8][9]Anyway, here comes the big one - this is a report produced by the Rockefeller Foundation in cooperation with Global Business Network in May 2010 - and it shows four possible future scenarios that the world might be headed into. Let's discuss this, shall we.http://www.gbn.com/consulting/article_details.php?id=101&breadcrumb=consultinghttp://www.gbn.com/articles/pdfs/GBN&Rockefeller%20scenarios.technology&development.pdfScenarios for the Future of Technology and International DevelopmentThis report was produced byThe Rockefeller Foundationand Global Business Network.May 2010

Zbigniew Brzezinski: Obama The New Mr. 'Malaise'http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2010/07/16/m-word-zbigniew-brzezinski-says-obama-presiding-over-age-malaiseBy Mark Finkelstein Fri, 07/16/2010 - 08:35 ET [/center]Can you hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth emanating from 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue? It's Pres. Obama & Co. reacting to Zbigniew Brzezinki pinning on Barack Obama the word that doomed Jimmy Carter: "malaise." On Morning Joe, Carter's former national security adviser said there "is a sense of pervasive malaise" in America. What's worse, suggested Zbig, Pres. Obama hasn't been able to figure out how to deal with the malaise. Ruh-roh!ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI: I think we're now going through a phase in which there is a sense of pervasive malaise, which affects different groups in society in different ways. So people are dissatisfied; they're slightly worried; they don't see a good certain future for themselves or for the country, but in their own narrow sphere. There's no grand mobilizing idea. And I have a sense that Obama, who started so well, and who really captivated people—he captivated me!—has not been able yet to generate some sort of organizing idea for an age which combines a malaise that's pervasive and percolating, and complexity.. . .
Leaked UN Documents Reveal Plan For "Green World Order" By 2012 Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, February 26, 2010Leaked policy documents reveal that the United Nations plans to create a "green world order" by 2012 which will be enforced by a structure of global governance and funded by a gargantuan $45 trillion transfer of wealth from richer countries, as the globalists' insidious plan to centralize power, crush sovereignty while devastating the economy is exposed once again.As we warned at the time, the failure of Copenhagen in December did not spell the end of the global warming heist, but merely a roadblock in the UN's agenda to create a world government funded by taxes paid by you on the very substance you exhale – carbon dioxide.Using the justification of the vehemently debunked hoax that carbon dioxide is a deadly threat to the planet, the UN is already working to resurrect the failed Copenhagen agreement, with a series of new Copenhagen process negotiations set to take place in April, May and June.Leaked Planning DocumentsLeaked planning documents (PDF) obtained by Fox News lift the lid on the UN's plan to impose global governance by the time of their 2012 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Rio, which will mark the 20th anniversary since the notorious "Earth Summit" held in the same city."The new Rio summit will end, according to U.N. documents obtained by Fox News, with a "focused political document" presumably laying out the framework and international commitments to a new Green World Order," reports Fox News' George Russell."Just exactly what that environmental order will look like, and the extent of the immense financial commitments needed to produce it, are under discussion this week at a special session in Bali, Indonesia, of the United Nations Environment Program's 58-nation "Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environmental Forum," which oversees UNEP's operations."The document outlines the globalist's mission to enact a "radical transformation of the world economic and social order" by putting "a new treaty in place as the capstone of the Green World Order".This system will be managed by "an additional governing structure composed of exactly those insiders," writes Russell."Moving towards a green economy would also provide an opportunity to re-examine national and global governance structures and consider whether such structures allow the international community to respond to current and future environmental and development challenges and to capitalize on emerging opportunities," states the white paper (emphasis mine).The imposition of such "global governance structures" will be achieved with the help of "vast wealth transfers" from richer countries (in the form of carbon taxes levied on citizens) to poorer nations, amounting to no less than $45 trillion dollars. The paper also outlines the need to change the "consumption patterns" of people living in richer countries, which undoubtedly is a euphemism for lowering living standards.The policy proposes that the old economic model be discarded in pursuit of a new global green economy focused around "green jobs".As we have previously highlighted, the promise that the creation of "green jobs" will offset the inevitable damage to the economy that a 50 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions will cause is a complete fallacy.The implementation of so-called "green jobs" in other countries has devastated economies and cost millions of jobs. As the Seattle Times reported back in June, Spain's staggering unemployment rate of over 18 per cent was partly down to massive job losses as a result of attempts to replace existing industry with wind farms and other forms of alternative energy.In a so-called "green economy," "Each new job entails the loss of 2.2 other jobs that are either lost or not created in other industries because of the political allocation — sub-optimum in terms of economic efficiency — of capital," states the report.As we have documented, a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 50-80 per cent would inflict a new great depression in the United States, reducing GDP by 6.9 percent – a figure comparable with the economic meltdown of 1929 and 1930.The UN's mission to create a legally binding treaty on the reduction of CO2 emissions is running parallel with measures already being enforced at state level in the U.S. which bypass stuttering federal efforts to impose the cap and trade fraud.The very foundation of the global warming argument has been completely eviscerated by the Climategate scandal, which proved that United Nations IPCC scientists forged and exaggerated data to "hide the decline" in global temperatures while engaging in witch hunts to cull dissenting opinions from appearing in IPPC reports.Despite this, control freaks intent on taxing the life-giving gas carbon dioxide have signaled that they no longer care about the truth behind man-made climate change and have resolved to slam through their totalitarian agenda anyway. EPA head Lisa Jackson told reporters this week that "The science regarding climate change is settled, and human activity is responsible for global warming," even though she failed to refute the fact that there had been no global warming since 1995, as was admitted by CRU scientist Professor Phil Jones.REFPDF Leaked Planning Documenthttp://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/022510_greeneconomy.pdfhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,587426,00.htmlhttp://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2009385016_will26.htmlhttp://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-pushes-carbon-tax-proposal-that-would-inflict-new-great-depression.htmlhttp://www.prisonplanet.com/cap-and-trade-scam-to-be-enforced-at-state-level.htmlhttp://www.prisonplanet.com/epa-head-no-warming-since-1995-doesnt-mean-warming-isnt-occurring.htmlhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1250872/Climategate-U-turn-Astonishment-scientist-centre-global-warming-email-row-admits-data-organised.html

Now there is HAARP, it's a fact, OK.Although, very powerful earthquakes have always happened through history, they have happened before HAARP existed.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704399804576193650432765520.html?mod=WSJ_hp_LEFTTopStoriesMagnitude-8.9 Quake, Tsunami Strike JapanTOKYO—The most devastating earthquake to hit Japan in at least 300 years rocked the country on Friday afternoon, triggering a 10-meter tsunami that violently engulfed cars and other objects in its path in northern Japan, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes and setting off tsunami warnings for 53 countries around the world.
How did earthquakes happen for hundreds of years while there was no HAARP to trigger them?Can you explain? How could there be any earthquakes?
How can so much research be willfully ignored and glossed over by you? Can you explain?
Hawaii will be hit at 11am eastern time, no telling how strong it will be by the time it travels that far though.
Maybe the pacific rim is really just a super massive volcano like Yellowstone and it's getting ready to blow.
CNN reporting tsunami hitting Hawaii right now.
So dig, did HAARP cause the New Madrid Earthquake of 1812?

Firm and Tone Fast ! (Includes a Green Band worth £9.99 !)
Follow the Pilates Dyna Band workout and see fantastic results!
This New workout from Lucy Knight, the health a fitness professional, is based on the principles of Joseph Pilates with the added challenge of using a band for resistance.
This Programme has been devised with the choice of levels to suit the beginner through to the more experienced.
It will take you through toning exercises for the upper body and floorwork exercises which are based on both matwork and reformer Pilates techniques.
These exercises will enable you to improve your posture & streamline your body shape by achieving longer & leaner muscles.
Pilates DYNA-BAND® workout exercises
All exercises are to be performed slowly and with control paying particular attention to the breathing pattern.
Upper body-Arms, back and shoulders
Come down onto your knees, kneeling down on top of your DYNA-BAND. Cross the band over in front of you and take hold of the ends of the band in each hand. Take your left hand by your side and your right hand on your left hip. Inhale as you lift your right elbow like you are drawing a sword then exhale as you extend your arm out diagonally. Inhale as you lower the fore arm back down. And exhale as you lower the elbow. Repeat 4-6 times then swap sides so that your right arm is by your side and you are extending your left.
Core muscles, stomach
Start by sitting on the floor and place the balls of your feet into the centre of the DYNA-BAND®. Lay down on your back with your knees in the air above your hips. Wrap the band around your hands for added security, and keep your elbows into your sides. Inhale as you extend your legs pushing your feet away from you (hold for 2 seconds) then exhale and draw your feet back in with control so that your knees are bent. Repeat 4-6 times then repeat with increased intensity by raising your head and shoulders slightly off of the floor.
Leg and hips
Lie on your right side and wrap the DYNA-BAND® around the arch of your left foot. Hold both ends of the band in your left hand, with your palm facing down. Either rest your head on your right arm, or prop yourself on your hand. Inhale as you lift your left leg up to the side and exhale as you flex the foot, drawing it back down. Repeat 4-6 times then swap sides and repeat with the right leg.

On most any day, items are offered by the public to Conservation Specialist Richard Baker for consideration in the Tryon Palace collection.
On most any day, items are offered by the public to Conservation Specialist Richard Baker for consideration in the Tryon Palace collection.
Not all offerings meet the criteria, which includes historical significance and relevance to New Bern.
Thursday was a special day for Baker at the Bern Street Conservation Lab: He received an authentically important artifact and a history lesson.
L.R. �Pete� Thomas Jr., a local retired contractor, along with the high school-age grandson Luke Lundquist of Wake Forest, donated an 1870s foot treadle-operated lathe. It has a New Bern history and significance as an early piece of industrial machinery used in the city.
Thomas also brought a story. He built the building in 1954 that houses the Conservation Lab � constructed in 1954 as part of a Catholic school. Behind a wall where Thomas and Lundquist posed with the lathe is the stage of the fellowship hall. The main activity room, which also had a wall added, is now work and storage space for newly acquired items.
Baker said the lathe was a good example of an industrial implement from the city�s past and would fit into the Palace�s programs on education at a future exhibit.
Thomas, a New Bern native, got the lathe a few years ago from retired surgeon Dr. Charles Hall Ashford Jr.
Thomas explained that the original owner was Ashford�s great uncle, Charles Henry Hall. His home was on South Front Street, near to where the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center is today.
�He used the lathe in the workshop in his back yard,� Thomas said, adding that Hall was at one time a New Bern alderman who was instrumental in having the city build its own electric power-generating plant on First Street.
Thomas, who has built commercial buildings and done historic restorations during his career, admitted he had never attempted putting a machine like this back together.
�My grandson and I thought it would just be a nice, interesting thing to do,� he said. �It was completely disassembled. My daughter went online and found a picture and description.�
The assembled lathe has foot pedals and a sliding metal seat from an early farm tractor. It is operated on foot power for the chain and belt pulley drive.
Engraved in the metal are patent dates of 1800 and 1887.
The research showed it was manufactured by the W.F. & John Barnes Company in Rockford, Ill. It was described in the company catalogue as �No. 4 � Velocipede Metal Cutting Lathe.�
�It was used to cut metal. It was a hard way to do it before they had electricity,� said Thomas, who was a tool and die operator at the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington from 1948 to 1950. He was stationed there after serving on a patrol bombing squad in the South Pacific during World War II.
He returned to New Bern and worked for his father�s company, L.R. Thomas and Sons General Contractors.
In the late 1950s, Thomas was restoring a late 18th century home for Dr. C.H. Ashford Sr. when the Tryon Palace Commission contacted the firm to construct the buildings on the Palace grounds. Over a period of 20 years, he said the company was engaged by the commission to restore houses surrounding the Palace, including the relocation and restoration of the John Wright Stanly House.
�My grandson and I worked on the lathe for about two years, whenever he was in town,� Thomas said. Lundquist is a high school senior bound for Brevard College in Western North Carolina, with a goal of becoming an air traffic controller.
�It was tedious work, but we figured it out,� Thomas said of the project. �After we restored it, since it had a New Bern history, we decided it should remain in New Bern and thought the History Center would be an appropriate place.�

The western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) is a species of freshwater fish, also known commonly, if ambiguously, as simply mosquitofish or by its generic name, Gambusia, or by the common name gambezi.
|Scientific classification
G. affinis
|Binomial name
|Gambusia affinis
(S. F. Baird & Girard, 1853)
Mosquitofish are small in comparison to many other freshwater fish, with females reaching an overall length of 7 cm (2.8 in) and males at a length of 4 cm (1.6 in). The female can be distinguished from the male by her larger size and a gravid spot at the posterior of her abdomen. The name "mosquitofish" was given because the diet of this fish sometimes consists of large numbers of mosquito larvae, relative to body size.[2] Gambusia typically eat zooplankton, beetles, mayflies, caddisflies, mites, and other invertebrates; mosquito larvae make up only a small portion of their diet.[3]
Mosquitofish were introduced directly into ecosystems in many parts of the world as a biocontrol to lower mosquito populations which in turn negatively affected many other species in each distinct bioregion. Mosquitofish in Australia are classified as a noxious pest and may have exacerbated the mosquito problem in many areas by outcompeting native invertebrate predators of mosquito larvae. Several counties in California distribute mosquitofish at no charge to residents with manmade fish ponds and pools as part of their mosquito abatement programs.[4][5][6] The fish are made available to residents only and are intended to be used solely on their own property, not introduced into natural habitat. On 24 February 2014, Chennai Corporation in India introduced western mosquitofish in 660 ponds to control the mosquito population in freshwater bodies.[7]
Fertilization is internal; the male secretes milt into the genital aperture of the female through his gonopodium.[2][8] Within 16 to 28 days after mating, the female gives birth to about 60 young.[2][9] The males reach sexual maturity within 43 to 62 days. The females, if born early in the reproductive season, reach sexual maturity within 21 to 28 days; females born later in the season reach sexual maturity in six to seven months.[1]
Mosquitofish are small and of a dull grey coloring, with a large abdomen, and have rounded dorsal and caudal fins and an upturned mouth.[2] Sexual dimorphism is pronounced; mature females reach a maximum overall length of 7 cm (2.8 in), while males reach only 4 cm (1.6 in). Sexual dimorphism is also seen in the physiological structures of the body. The anal fins on adult females resemble the dorsal fins, while the anal fins of adult males are pointed. This pointed fin, referred to as a gonopodium, is used to deposit milt inside the female. Adult female mosquitofish can be identified by a gravid spot they possess on the posterior of their abdomens. Other species considered similar to G. affinis include Poecilia latipinna, Poecilia reticulata, and Xiphophorus maculatus; it is commonly misidentified as the eastern mosquitofish.[2][10]
Naming and taxonomyEdit
The mosquitofish is a member of the family Poeciliidae of order Cyprinodontiformes. The genus name Gambusia is derived from the Cuban Spanish term gambusino, meaning "useless".[11] The common name, mosquitofish, is derived from their diet, which, under some circumstances, consists of large numbers of mosquito larvae. Classification of the western mosquitofish has been difficult due to their similarity to the eastern mosquitofish, and according to ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System), G. holbrooki (eastern mosquitofish) is an invalid taxonomic name and is rather a subspecies of G. affinis.[2][12]
Based on diet, mosquitofish are classified as larvivorous fish.[13] Their diet consists of zooplankton, small insects and insect larvae, and detritus material. Mosquitofish feed on mosquito larvae at all stages of life. Adult females can consume hundreds of mosquito larvae in one day.[2] Maximum consumption rate in a day by one mosquitofish has been observed to be from 42%–167% of its own body weight.[14] They can suffer mortalities if fed only on mosquito larvae, and survivors show poor growth and maturation.[15] Mosquitofish have also shown cannibalistic behavior in laboratory experiments; however, whether these traits are hereditary is unknown.[16]
The native range of the mosquitofish is from southern parts of Illinois and Indiana, throughout the Mississippi River and its tributary waters, to as far south as the Gulf Coast in the northeastern parts of Mexico.[17] They are found most abundantly in shallow water protected from larger fish.[8] Mosquitofish can survive relatively inhospitable environments, and are resilient to low oxygen concentrations, high salt concentrations (up to twice that of sea water), and temperatures up to 42 °C (108 °F) for short periods.[10] Because of their notable adaptability to harsh conditions and their global introduction into many habitats for mosquito control, they have been described as the most widespread freshwater fish in the world.[18]
Environmental impactEdit
Mosquitofish were intentionally introduced in many areas with large mosquito populations to decrease the population of mosquitoes by eating the mosquito larvae.[2] However, most introductions were ill-advised; in most cases native fish had already proven to supply maximal control of mosquito population and introducing mosquitofish has been more harmful to indigenous aquatic life than to the mosquito population.[18] Introductions outside the mosquitofish's natural range can be harmful to the nonnative ecosystems.[19][20] Mosquitofish have been known to kill or injure other small fish by their aggressive behavior and otherwise harm them through competition.[14] They are now considered just slightly better at eating mosquitoes than at destroying other aquatic species.[10] The ecological impacts of mosquitofish are partly dictated by their sex ratio, which can vary dramatically across their introduced range.[21] Mosquitofish in Australia are considered noxious pests where they pose a threat to native fish and frog populations and no evidence indicates they have controlled mosquito populations or mosquito-borne diseases.
However, from the 1920s to the 1950s, mosquitofish were a major factor in eradicating malaria in South America, southern Russia, and Ukraine. A somewhat famous example of mosquitofish eradicating malaria is on the coast of the Black Sea near Sochi in Russia.[18][22][23] In Sochi, the mosquitofish is commemorated for eradicating malaria by a monument of the fish.[24][25] In 2008, in some parts of California and in Clark County, Nevada, mosquitofish were bred in aquariums so people could stock stagnant pools of water with the mosquitofish to reduce the number of West Nile virus cases.[26]
Reproduction of the mosquitofish starts with the male arranging the rays of the gonopodium (modified anal fin) into a slight tube. The male mosquitofish uses this tubular fin to secrete milt into the female's genital aperture in the process of internal fertilization.[2][8][27] The female's genital aperture is located just behind the anal fin and is an opening for the milt to fertilize the ova within the ovary.[8] Mosquitofish are within the infraclass Teleostei and as all teleosts, mosquitofish lack a uterus, so production of oocytes and gestation occur within the ovary of a female mosquitofish.[28][29] Inside the female, sperm from multiple males can be stored to later fertilize more ova.[2] Based on laboratory experiments, the female mosquitofish is believed to be vitellogenic in nature during spring when the average temperature reaches about 14 °C (57 °F), and then the oocytes finish maturing when the average temperature reaches about 18 °C (64 °F). Then late in the summer when the photoperiod is less than 12.5 hours long, the next clutch of oocytes lose vitellogenesis.[28] In one reproductive season, a female may fertilize, with stored milt, two to six broods of embryos, with the size of the brood decreasing as the season progresses.[1] Reproduction rates are highly dependent on temperature and ration level. As temperature increases from 20 to 30 °C, mean age at first reproduction decreases from 191 to 56 days, and brood size and mass of offspring increase significantly. Interbrood interval estimates at 25 and 30 °C are 23 and 19 days, respectively.[30]
Mosquitofish have a 16- to 28-day gestation period.[9] They are lecithotrophic, which means during gestation, nutrients are provided to the embryos by a yolk sac.[31] If the gestation period is shorter, each newborn will at birth still have a yolk sac connected through a slit located on the ventral side of the body wall.[9] Brood size of females depends on the size of the given female; larger females are more capable of a larger brood quantity than smaller females. Most females, though, have a brood quantity of about 60 young.[1][2] Mosquitofish are viviparous, which means after the gestation of a brood, the female will have live birth.[27][28] In most cases, the newborn brood will have an equal male to female ratio.[1]
After birth, newborn mosquitofish are about 8 to 9 mm (0.31 to 0.35 in) in length. As juveniles, they grow at a rate of about 0.2 mm (0.0079 in) per day. Growth rates of juvenile mosquitofish reach their peak when the water temperature is within a range of 24 to 30 °C (75 to 86 °F).[32] As temperatures rise above or dip below this range, growth rates decrease. Temperatures at or above 35 °C (95 °F) are typically lethal, while growth stops when temperatures are at or below 10 °C (50 °F).[1] For male mosquitofish, sexual maturity is reached in about 43 to 62 days.[33] Female mosquitofish reach sexual maturity in about 21 to 28 days if born early within the reproductive season. The lifespan of a mosquitofish averages less than a year and the maximum is about 1.5 years. However, mosquitofish kept as pets can live much longer, with owners reporting lifespans of over three years. Male mosquitofish lifespans are considerably shorter than the hardier females.[1]

Among the seven people shot and killed over the last weekend was a 16-year-old girl described by family members as a straight-A student who dreamed of becoming a forensic scientist.
"She was a good baby," said Shaquise Buckner's mother, Katrina Goodwin. "I don't understand this."
Buckner was standing outside on the 7200 block of South Laflin Street, in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, at about 12:45 a.m. Saturday when shots were fired from a passing car. Buckner took a bullet to the head. A 20-year-old man with her was hit in the back and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition.
Buckner was killed just days ahead of the start of her sophomore year of high school. She was on her way to also becoming the first member of her family to attend college.
"She was a good student, strong amongst her peers, outgoing, and she was on her way to AP classes to help her be successful," Julie Puzon, the principal at Perspectives IIT/Math & Science Academy, said Sunday night at a vigil outside the school.
No one was in custody in connection with the shooting as of early Monday. Police said the man wounded with Buckner may have gang affiliations and may have been the intended target.
Weekend shootings killed seven other people and wounded more than 25 others.

Morgan Scores 19 Points To Lead Bulldogs Past Army
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Yale's home opener with Army on Saturday featured a little bit of everything. The first 20 minutes was a defensive struggle, the second half was an offensive clinic, but it wasn't until the second overtime that a winner that was finally determined.
Sam Martin hit a three-pointer with 32 seconds left that gave the Bulldogs an 84-83 lead, and Austin Morgan capped a perfect afternoon at the free throw line with a pair of foul shots with eight seconds left as Yale escaped with an 86-83 victory over the Black Knights before a highly entertained crowd of 1,116 at the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
"It's nice to get a grind-it-out win," said Martin, who finished with 11 points, one of five Yale players in double figures. "It's certainly a step in the right direction for us."
It was the Bulldogs' second overtime game of the young season. They dropped an 85-82 decision that required only five extra minutes in the season opener against Sacred Heart at the Connecticut 6 Classic.
Yale (2-5) also had to overcome a huge game from Army's Ella Ellis, who scored 37 points. He was 10-of-20 from the field and 14-of-15 from the foul line.
Morgan paced the Bulldogs with 19 points. He struggled from the field (3-of-15) but was 11-of-11 from the free throw line, including the two big ones late in the second overtime. Matt Townsend, playing in just his second game of the season after missing the first five with an injury, added s career-high 15 points. He was 6-of-7 from the field. Michael Grace scored 14 points and freshman Justin Sears posted his first career double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
"Everybody really worked hard, and everybody did their part," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball at Yale.
The game featured nine ties and 12 lead changes.
After Army's Andrew Stire made two free throws with 23 seconds left, Yale had a chance to win in it in regulation, but the Black Knights' pressure defense kept the Bulldogs from getting off a good shot.
Ellis's three-pointer gave Army a three-point lead, 73-70, with 1:49 left in the first overtime, but Grace answered with a three of his own to tie it. Two Morgan free throws with a minute left put the Bulldogs in front, but Ellis made two free throws with 34 seconds left to tie it at 75-75.
Yale again had a final possession with a chance to win, but Morgan's well-contested shot missed as time expired.
The Bulldogs led by four early in the second overtime, but Ellis hit a pair of three-pointers and two free throws to give the Black Knights an 83-81 lead with 43 seconds left. Martin, though, answered with a three-pointer from the wing off a nice feed from Grace.
Army's Kyle Wilson and Dylan Cox both had shots to put Army ahead, but missed. Townsend grabbed the rebound on the second miss and quickly fed it to Morgan, who was fouled and hit both free throws.
Army still had one last chance to tie, but Josh Herbeck's long three-pointer missed at the buzzer.
Yale had played its first seven games away from home.
"We've had a very difficult schedule against some good mid-major opponents that were very athletic," Jones said. "To get to play at home and get a win was very important to us."
The Bulldogs have now won six of their last eight home openers.
Both teams struggled from the field in the first half. Yale, which had a 21-19 lead at the intermission, was just 10-of-25, while Army connected on only 7-of-28 field goals.
The second half was a different story. The Black Knights (3-2) shot a blistering 59.3 percent and scored 47 points. The Bulldogs were almost as accurate, shooting 56.5 percent and scoring 45 points.
NOTES: Jones again shuffled his starting lineup. Townsend and Martin each made their first career starts… Jesse Pritchard had only one field goal, but it was an important one. It came in the second overtime. Pritchard grabbed the rebound of a Grace miss and flipped the ball over his shoulder, off the backboard and in… Sears again had a big game on the offensive glass. Five of his 12 rebounds came on the offensive end… All 10 of the Yale players that saw action scored… The Bulldogs are back in action at home on Thursday night when they host Hartford at 7 p.m.

Earlier this month, Jerry Coyne wrote an op-ed piece for the USA Today called "As atheists know, you can be good without God". Coyne is an outspoken evolutionary scientist and an atheist. Coyne tries to prove that theists do not have the moral high ground, and to that end I agree with him in some sense. Atheists, of course, can be moral too. But I will argue that he has no basis for thinking that this morality is grounded in anything factual given his atheism.
Jerry seems to share in some of the fundamental misunderstandings that many atheists have when it comes to the moral argument for God's existence. First, he brings out our old friend the Euthyphro Dilemma. I've written here recently that the Euthyphro Dilemma is really a false dilemma, but Coyne throws in a new wrinkle when he brings up that God not only can command us to do evil, but that He has! Coyne cites several examples of what modern Westerners would view as the more abhorrent commands of the Old Testament. Genocide! slavery! stoning! Oh, my!
Forgive me for being flippant, because I think these are valid concerns that should be thoughtfully answered. The "abhorrent commands" objections take me beyond the scope of my point of this post, but I do recommend you to these helpful posts on Old Testament Ethics by Matthew Flannagan:
Mr. Coyne says that morality is not grounded in God but rather based upon evolution and our own reasoning.
So where does morality come from, if not from God? Two places: evolution and secular reasoning. Despite the notion that beasts behave bestially, scientists studying our primate relatives, such as chimpanzees, see evolutionary rudiments of morality: behaviors that look for all the world like altruism, sympathy, moral disapproval, sharing — even notions of fairness. This is exactly what we'd expect if human morality, like many other behaviors, is built partly on the genes of our ancestors.
First let me say that I do think atheists, theists, pantheists and pastafarians alike can recognize moral facts. Human beings recognize that being kind is morally right, and that burning down orphanages for fun is morally wrong. But are these moral facts simply natural facts? If moral facts are simply natural facts, I would argue that they simply descriptive but not prescriptive. Altruism, sympathy, moral disapproval, sharing and the notion of fairness is how the world happens to be, but if the atheist is correct and we're all here by a massive string of cosmic flukes and not for a real purpose, then there is no way things are supposed to be. The difficulty for Mr. Coyne and atheists like him is saying this is how it ought to be.
When a male duck forcibly mates with a female duck, that is the way nature is, but we don't say that the duck is doing something it is morally wrong. When we see hyenas eating a young gazelle alive chunk-by-chunk (forgive me if you're eating while reading this), that is the way nature is, but we don't see it as morally wrong, it's just nature functioning as nature does. Unless an atheist is committed to some sort of moral platonism, then for them natural facts are the only kind of facts. They apply to the duck, the hyena and the human being. When humans are nice or when humans are not so nice (think child abusers, rapists, terrorists, serial killers and the lot) we're just merely describing what is, but it says nothing about what ought to be. Was it necessary that human beings evolved with this sense of morality? Charles Darwin didn't seem to think so. In his book, The Descent of Man, he says:
…[if] men were reared under precisely the same conditions as hive-bees, there can hardly be a doubt that our unmarried females would, like the worker-bees, think it a sacred duty to kill their brothers, and mothers would strive to kill their fertile daughters; and no one would think of interfering.
Michael Ruse, an atheistic philosopher at Florida State says:
The position of the modern evolutionist . . . is that humans have an awareness of morality . . . because such an awareness is of biological worth. Morality is a biological adaptation no less than are hands and feet and teeth . . . . Considered as a rationally justifiable set of claims about an objective something, ethics is illusory. I appreciate that when somebody says 'Love they neighbor as thyself,' they think they are referring above and beyond themselves . . . . Nevertheless, . . . such reference is truly without foundation. Morality is just an aid to survival and reproduction, . . . and any deeper meaning is illusory . . . .
So there is nothing objective about morality on the evolutionary account, they're just illusions "fobbed on us by our genes". But if God exists, then he provides the necessary foundation for moral duty. And if God designed us with a certain end in mind, he can make human beings in His image with the ability to recognize and discover what is right and wrong.
While Jerry is right that all of us can recognize the difference between right and wrong, naturalism provides no foundation for moral duty; rather it's just telling us how it is. Telling us how it ought to be is rather meaningless on naturalism because there is no telos to the universe on their view. They can continue to do right because that's what they prefer, but it's hard to see how morality would be objective on atheism. I think it makes sense to say that if moral facts exist, then atheism is very unlikely to be true, to put it modestly. I don't think Coyne wants to say moral facts do not exist, but atheist philosophers like Michael Ruse (as well as J.L. Mackie, Nietzsche and others) are at least consistent in denying that moral facts exist in a godless world. Coyne tries to stick the theist in a dilemma, but I think at the end of the day he's the one finding himself in a pickle when it comes to plausibly explaining moral facts in purely naturalistic terms.
