shinking injection foam
is anyone getting the phone calls about shrinking injection foam after this stuff dries???
we've pulled some wallboard from previously injected (aminoplast foam) walls and man this stuff is shriveled up good around the periphery,,
now the media remainin is darned nice and doesnt disentegrate when touched like the old ufi foams that so damaged the "foam insulation" industry years ago..but man,,im wonderin is this crap gonna do the same thing for the foam industry,,,,
pity we have a bunch of foamers whom couldnt make it spraying foam(or in lawncare for that matter,,lol) so they climbed on board the gimic train and compromised their professional integrity and mine as well by chasin the almighty $$ to keep their butts afloat..

RE: shinking injection foam
There is a local injection foam contractor in my area. He says that they have to be careful with how much water they use or it will shrink and also how thick a tall an area because it will have enough weight it will settle(such as a pole shed that is lined already, 9 ft spacing, 16 ft tall, and 8-10 in thick).
As far as hurting the spray foam industry its not really spray foam. Thats the way this guy advertises. Its the next best alternative for an existing house.
What does torque me is the companies advertising it formaldahyde free. Even though its miniscule amounts. Its still in it. Just try to start a franchise in Canada, Maine, or California. If you cant that means its got formaldahyde.

RE: shinking injection foam
you mix X gallons of water with x bags of powder to make the schtuff,,,prescriptive from the manufacturere,,,like makin spf,,gotta do it right,,so too much water???? or it sags,,,??hmm
i question if it is the "next best alternative" in existing homes..
due to cost,,and due to this shrinkage,,that is the point,,,if it shrinks it shrinks circumfirentially not in just one plane,,,,,you cant fix it easily but if you have lets say filterglass or cellulose at 1/4 the cost,,,well its gonna settle in 1 plane,,,and you can fix it perty easily,,,
what is the number 1 thing to do at your job site
DRY IT OUT,,,get your materials dry and keep em dry,,,keep the house dry as soon as you can,,,
gee lets pump the walls full of this WATERGOO...
makes sense to me???oh but its foam...cut their friggin tounges off,,,and tammy fae,,,
any posts out there,,,got one comein they wouldnt let him post here,,,hey doug,,waz up can i post the truth??? or at least how this other poor
SPRAY FOAM INSULATOR sees it???
cluck cluck cluck,,,,
wadda they gonna do???
oh yeah,,,quit advertising,,,,no prob,,,

RE: shinking injection foam
When I said "next best thing" I was quoting the injection salesman. Shoulda used quotes.
As far as the amount of water used I have no idea about that. Again just spittin what I was told. Never looked into the system gonna stick with my A B system.
What also concerns me is the "Easy water cleanup" advertised. What happens when a pipe breaks or my kids run the bathtub over AGAIN. Is my foam gone now? Nobody seems to answer me when I ask.

RE: shinking injection foam
Hey I had someone ask me what happens when injection foam gets wet too.
If you have a fiend that does the stuff, have him get a dried piece of the glorified shaving cream and then get it wet and see what happens...and then let us know cause I'm very curious and I'm not the only one.
By the way, if you want some testing on the shrinkage of this stuff go to the link at left.

RE: shinking injection foam
Here's another link from the same group.
Link at left:
Retrofoam is a dishonest and un-ethical company.
Tri-polymer is a much better group, and they haven't gotten sued out of Canada like the aforementioned Retrofoam.
"Highest R-value on any insulation on the market!"
R-5 per inch (if it's even truly that high) is the highest R-value on the market?????
Somebody really ought to sue these guys.

RE: shinking injection foam
ok this came to me via my email,,,
i asked if i could post,,he said ok,,,
dont shoot me im only the piano player,,
fine,,shoot,,,i could give a ratz-azz
copy below:
I'm not a subscriber to spf. Any more, I use to be but like everybody else when things fell though we had to drop it. We live in a rural area, lots of older home, so thought I could get into inject foams. Bought my equipment from one company, found out they had one of the highest amounts of formaldehyde of any. So we did our research and found a company in Florida, they said they didn't use formaldehydes, but you still had to add water. We did an older house, I was pretty happy the way the job went looked good. We put the plugs in and put the sideling back on. This house had a leak behind the sink. So they remodeled the kitchen. They opened up the walls and found that the foam that we put in 6 mounts had shank. Not just a little but a lot. The called us and we took it all out and put in ½ pound foam. These companies that sell you the injectable foam tell you, you have to sell this amount or they will find someone else in your area that will. After this house I felt bad that I sold crap. So that was the last time we put in any body's home. I tried to put what I had left in my attic, thought what better place to get rid of it. I made a nice flat layer over my garage. It shank in to balls and the urine smell took months to go away. This stuff that they are selling is not foam. And it will heart all of us that spray. I just lost a big job in Denver that called for one of these foams. I called the school up and tried to talk to them about it. They wouldn't listen to me, they said this is what the engineer called for and they wonted this. This is a school; we all paid for this to be put in though our taxes. We lost 20,, 000. In this, but I only put it in two homes, and both I went re did, so I can still sleep at night. I will only use a real foam company now like Lapolla or Bayer. We made all of our own tips and attachments so we can do older homes. I don't care if you post what I said. I do know it will bit all of us in the butt, and not just the people that spray it. There is no difference in the stuff if it comes in a powder or is a drum prey mixed. Is crap and I feel very sorry for the people that have it in their homes, and think they got foam. Well feel better

RE: shinking injection foam
Yeah, there have been a lot of discussions on this stuff over the years here and I won't touch it. One of the guys who has worked with me had it done to his home. In the winter you can feel where it shrank and it also cracked the walls. Contract says that is his problem not their's if it happens too. Add in his house being hit by an old lady that missed the curve while going through a major dementia episode so we helped tear down a lot of walls. They claim up to 3% shrinking, yeah, more like 10%-15% is what we saw.
Huge company here in the state advertising all over the place and doing great on making money but I tell people to do blown in paper instead since you can top it off if it settles.
Now, has anyone tried the new slow-rise injection foams some companies have come out with? I know LaPolla has one but I can't afford to play the test dummy for it in real world use for finding out if it is any good. I am looking at it since it is actual FOAM and not shaving cream but unless I have some who have acutally used it who can say if it is any good, sit back and see for us.

RE: shinking injection foam
I've been using alot of demilec pour in place with great results.....
We charge more and waste less....
It seems like a perfect untapped market....
I can feel the profit....
You really need an ir camera, and we like to check while working and after the foam cools...
If you go for demilec, please tell them bright alternatives recommended them... I could use the brownie points, I am trying to get them to offer our customized contractor bpi training...

RE: shinking injection foam
sirbrightness..to be clear..i have no problem with injection of polyurethane based foam products,,,these are dimensionally stable,,and will not shrink,,settle..or sag,,
what i am "bealing" about is the AMINOPLAST" type of foams that are high content water based and not a polyurethane type foam...whom represent with shadey media advertising that they are similiar or EXCEED polyurethane foam in performance and tech specs...
this is the soon to be boil on the "foam industrys butt",,watch and see,,,remember UFI??

RE: shinking injection foam
i was responding to quentin....
i almost bought in to the protein shake foam before i found out there was a poly product....
knowing more now then i did before i personally am glad to not have invested in the equipment....
graco sells a pour tip (the best 200 that graco ever ripped me off of) you cut up tubing and stick it on.... couple of second bursts in each hole till its full... if the bay is empty you can get away with a hole in the middle and 2 at the top of each stud bay outside or inside the house. with fibered walls you need holes every foot up.... (i try to not patch the holes or charge extra for that)
we just did a project in a historic home where the front porch had antique bead boarding on the ceiling but a second story above... there was 15 feet of uninsulated floor across the whole front of the house... we had a floor guy remove 2 strips of floor at 4 ft and 10 ft, and used the foam to fill the horizontal.... im sure someone has done something like this before, but i invented the solution in my head while on an estimate.... only other way i guess would have been cellulose.... it worked well and was easy (i was nervous because it was a police officers house, and i was experimenting)
i like the pour in place alot... if you think about it its an entirely different market from spray
they sell open cell and closed cell BUT they say cc is not for normal walls only concrete or brick
the easiest jobs are vinyl sided but it can be done anywhere... my crew is still messy and the tube sputters a little and overfills can shoot out but if the installer holds a rag around the tube on the way out, AND you keep some brakecleaner to wipe off the drips it goes smooth. i have blown out a few spots from too much foam (both times were hidden crossbracing); i also had a guy drill through an ac line that was in a bay... we charge a bunch extra for the extra labor but use less material

RE: shinking injection foam
I have done some injection work too,
But could not justify buying a set of the slow-rise open cell foam, so we just turn down the temps to around 110deg and use our regular open cell spray foam. Also I was told that some installers that have tried the slow-rise went back to the regular foam because they didn't like waiting for the foam to react.
We tell customers that we don't warranty for blown out walls or cracked plaster (I don't have x-ray vision) we can't tell how well their plaster or drywall is attached.
But when we tell people the cost and they compare it to the cellulose guys, we don't get very many of those jobs. But we still do a few every year.
Ps; Watch out for those over fills they can shoot out 20+feet!!!!

Deadeye Dick Cheney was back in the news this week. He talked about his Mr. Roboto heart machine that keeps him snearing.
Dick also said he's considering a heart transplant. Which is futile, since he's come this far without one.
A heart that is.
Dick-O came off a little less ruthless in the interview that, believe it or not, wasn't on Fox.
He sort of complimented President Obama for the way he handled the Tucson tragedy. But that was the extent of it. He quickly gave more emphasis to the notion he believes Obama will be a one-term president.
Listen to Dickie, why don't you. Has he ever sneared —- uh, steered us wrong?
Wasn't he right about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction?
OK, except for that minor detail.
But the new trimmed down Cheney could be getting other gigs in movies and on TV instead of being vicious on news talk shows.
Jiminy Crickets, W.'s one-time Defense Secretary Donald "Don't call me Rummy" Rumsfeld was offered a role playing himself in an episode of the popular TVdrama "The Good Wife."
He turned it down.
Rumor had it that after the patron saint of conservatism Ronald Reagan left office, he was offered the role of Prune Face in the movie version of the comic strip character "Dick Tracy."
There is also no truth to the rumor that Cheney turned down a reoccuring role on the hip TV series "The Walking Dead."
Still, there could be some movies re-titled out there fit for Cheney's purposes. Such as:
1. "National Lampoon's Undisclosed Location"
2. "From Snear to Eternity"
3. "I Was a Fugitive from a Cheney Gang"
4. "Some like it Shot"
5. "The Fear of Living Dangerously (in Obama's America)"
6. "My Favorite Snear"
7. "The Best Fears of Our Lives"
8. "Waterboarding World"
9. "The Crotchety Kid"
10. "Iraq to the Future"
Things overheard at the State Dinner at the White House for Chinese President Hu:
1. "It was rude of Speaker of the House Boehner to snub the event and then ask someone to get him take-out."
2. "I thought Boehner was threatened by Rush Limbaugh and was afraid to show up at an event hosted by Obama. Hey, that would make Boehner an Orange Chicken!"
3. "Yo Yo Ma is performing. Speaking of yo-yos, did you read W.'s memoirs?"
4. "Palin isn't here — but she shot the food."
5. "I heard there's going to be a lottery number drawn and the winner gets to go to China to visit our money."

With so many things to do and spectacular places to see, choosing how you travel around New Zealand is as important as choosing where you want to go.
Your choice of transport will depend on how quickly you want to get from A to B. Use our travel calculator to work out travel times and distances.
Self-drive a rental car on one of our recommended trips, or take a bus or coach if you want to let someone else do the driving.
For travel between New Zealand's islands, hop on a plane or ferry. Daily flights are available between domestic airports. Several passenger and vehicle ferries offer services between the North, South and other islands.
What should you know before driving in New Zealand?
New Zealand rail travel is an exercise in relaxation. The main reason to choose a train journey? Spectacular scenery you simply can't see from the road.
Car rental is favoured by visitors wanting to self-drive in New Zealand. There's loads of choice and a wide range of vehicles available to suit any budget.

Bus travel and coach transport is ideal if you prefer to make your way around New Zealand without the hassle of self-driving. Sit back, relax and enjoy.
Motorhomes or campervans - whatever you call them - there is no doubt that they are the ultimate accommodation choice for flexibility on a driving holiday.
If you were born to be wild, and prefer a little more grunt than pedal power, rent a motorcycle and cruise New Zealand's famously scenic roads.
Flights in New Zealand are both easy to organise and very affordable, making air transport a popular choice for travel around the country.
Finding your way around New Zealand is so much easier when somebody else does it for you. With a custom transfer, you can sit back and enjoy the view.

I very rarely get to go to meetings myself, and I don't get to participate in
LUGOD activities nearly as often as I'd like to (as in, at all). The third
Monday of the month conflicts directly with another standing obligation I
have, and I just seem to always be busy on the other meeting night.
I wonder why the numbers have gone down? Has summer vacation hit early?

IOWA CITY, Iowa Johnson County health officials want local governments to start regulating the sale and use of electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs. Tuesday night the Johnson County Board of Health took a stance on the issue, declaring the product addictive and harmful.
Health officials want to see local government officials act on regulations, since the state and federal government has not.
"There are zero regulations," said Doug Beardsley, director of Johnson County Public Health. "The tobacco industry continues to develop these new products."
With a wide range of flavored products, Beardsley said e-cigs are clearly being marketed toward minors.
The product should not be sold to anyone under the age of 18, and should not be used indoors, Beardsley said.
"It should model the smoke free air act," he said.

Coconut Crusted Chicken with Plum Dipping Sauce
1 comment | Leave Comment
Coconut Crusted Chicken with Plum Dipping Sauce
When I was in tropical South East Asia, where coconut palms are abound, I was looking for something to quell the heat and humidity. This refreshing gluten free chicken dish, adapted from coconut shrimp, is served with a plum dipping sauce inspired by the tangy taste of tamarinds, which are a sort of Indian date and contains cardamom, a spice that is commonly used in their cuisine.
- Prep Time : 15 min
- Cook Time : 15 min
- Ready Time : 30 min
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins or chicken breasts, sliced into long, 1″ thick strips
- 1/2 cup coconut flour (you can also use corn meal or gluten-free panko crumbs)
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
- 6 tbsp. canola oil
Plum Dipping Sauce
- 5 ripe plums, diced
- 3 tbsp. lime juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. cardamom

110 W. New York Ave.
DeLand, FL 32720
Restaurants go in, out in DeLand
By Pat Andrews
posted Aug 31, 2012 - 8:04:44am
While two restaurants in DeLand recently shut their doors, the doors at one of the two locations will reopen with a new restaurant.
Rendez-Vous opened at 112 N. Woodland Blvd. last year. The French restaurant with a continental flavor had opened first as a bistro on Southridge Golf Course, operated by David Morhain, who also owns Gator's Dockside in DeLand. Chef Didier DuFour put a distinctive mark on Rendez-Vous, which then moved to Downtown DeLand.
That Downtown location closed Aug. 26, but this isn't the end for Rendez-Vous, which will reopen at 1500 W. International Speedway Blvd. in Daytona Beach on Saturday, Sept. 15.
Marketing manager Jonathan Poss said Rendez-Vous' new 200-seat location is larger, and offers some outdoor seating.
It's not the end of eateries at 112 N. Woodland Blvd., either. Before Rendez-Vous, the location was home to Norville Barnes and Sisters.
Landlord Gus Gibbs confirmed that another new restaurant will move in, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Sun Citrus Cafe, owned by Ann Gilmore, will be operated by chef and managing partner Jerry Harris.
"We hope to be open in late September," Harris said.
The cafe will offer its own blend of fresh coffee and danish for breakfast. Sandwiches on homemade bread, as well as barbecue and Italian foods, will be on the menu.
Little is known about the closure of Tomasita's Cuban Bistro at 803 W. New York Ave., which was operated by Chef Mike Alvarez.
The restaurant was frequently full until the doors closed a couple of weeks ago.
The Beacon was unable to speak with anyone about future plans for the property, though a source said there's a prospective new restaurant for the property.
Previous tenants included Christo's & Eleni's Italian Restaurant and Stavros.

Pretty nice. I prefer the JQuery slideshow though, seems to run much smoother. Although, if you have Mootools installed, couldn't hurt to give this a try. Good find.

I use it with asp.net. But the auto-scrolling of thumbnails doesn't work when it load firstly. Then, when I update the browser's page it works. And when I update page again it doesn't work. after next updating it again works. And it repeats again and again. Does anybody know what should I do with this problem?

City MPs give views on Budget's announcements
Posted: March 22, 2013|
AS MIGHT be expected from the colour of their politics, Plymouth's MPs either think Chancellor George Osborne's Budget announcement was great for the city and region – or left the area out of an infrastructure boom.
Oliver Colvile, Tory MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, said: "This is a budget aimed at growth and encouraging employment."
He also welcomed the increase in pay for members of the armed forces.
But clearly aware of the problems which emerged in the wake of last year's Budget, such as the pasty tax, Mr Colvile added: "Whilst I welcome it broadly I am also very aware there may be issues in the detail which may yet become apparent."
Alison Seabeck, Labour MP for Plymouth Moor View, said: "In the South West we have been pressing for infrastructure projects to support our local economies – rail and road, plus investment to maintain Plymouth's vital air link.
"We have seen little progress despite the rhetoric.
"We need that work now not in 2016, 2017 or 2018. The budget is, in so many ways, a case of this year, next year, sometime never.
"So many decisions are being shoved back towards and beyond the next General Election."
She added: "The Government's economic policy isn't making sense.
"What we need is a more steady and more balanced plan where cuts which have to be made are seen to be fair and proportionate and where the same rule applies to tax breaks.
"Fairness in adversity is something people understand. What they don't understand is why some sections in our community are getting such a kicking from this Government."
But Gary Streeter, Conservative MP for South West Devon, said: "I think it's a terrific budget for the West Country with help for house-buyers and small and medium-sized businesses.
"I am hoping this will see more jobs created and more people buying their own homes."
Sheryll Murray, Tory MP for South East Cornwall, said: "It's a really good budget for South East Cornwall."
Hailing the scrapping of the planned fuel duty increase, Mrs Murray said: "That is fantastic news for the majority of my constituents who have to commute."
Mrs Murray also welcomed the help for small businesses and would-be housebuyers struggling to get on the property ladder, as well as the relief for taxpayers through a rise in the personal allowance.
A planned 3p rise in beer duty tax was also being scrapped and replaced by a 1p cut on a pint of beer. "The pubs are the lifeblood of a lot of my small villages. I think it's fantastic."

|Circle of Healing
|Usable by
|6 seconds
|Talent tree
|Holy, Tier 6
|Chakra, Glyph of Circle of Healing, Inspiration
|Other information
Circle of Healing (CoH) is the 26-point talent in the priest's Holy tree. It is an instant-cast spell that heals nearby party or raid members within a small radius around a target.
Circle of Healing comes with a 6-second cooldown, implemented in attempts to reduce priests from simply spamming the spell, making some forms of incoming raid damage trivial, for example the Vortex spell encountered in the Malygos encounter. Despite this, the spell remains useful in many places. The spell now works as a "smart heal", a recently implemented mechanic which sees the spell seek out raid members with the lowest health and heals them instead of its old mechanic of healing a specific targetted group.
In more detail, if the spell is cast with no specific target it will use the priest caster as a "base" of the spell and will heal five targets within its 15 yard radius who are currently at the lowest health. Should the priest target someone specifically and cast the spell, it will use that targeted player as a 'base' and will heal five players (not necessarily including the 'base') for a 15 yard radius of that player.
This new mechanic is useful for healing groups of players at once whilst not having the need for them to be actually grouped together. Healing all melee at once, for example.
Patch changes
- Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): Healing increased by approximately 40%.
- Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Circle of Healing now has a 6 second cooldown.
- Patch 2.3.0 (13-Nov-2007): Circle of Healing: The base amount of healing from this spell has been reduced along with increasing the bonus it receives from bonus healing effects. Characters with more than 1338 healing will see their Circle of Healing heal for more than previous patches. Characters with less than 1338 healing will see their Circle of Healing heal for less.
- Patch 2.1.0 (22-May-2007): Circle of Healing effect increase.
- Patch 2.0.10 (2007-03-06): Circle of Healing mana cost reduced by 25%.

Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria and Patriarch of Saint Mark Diocese received on Wednesday 2/1/2013 two delegations of al-Azhar and the Awqaf Ministry who came to extend Christmas greetings.
Al-Azhar delegation was led by Grand Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayyeb and included Egypt's Mufti Ali Gomaa and al-Azhar Secretary Abdel-Tawab Qotb.
Advisor to the Awqaf minister Sheikh Mohamed Abdel-Razeq led the ministry's delegation to the Cathedral.
The delegates wished all Egyptian Christians a merry Christmas.
Pope Tawadros II and el-Tayyeb held in-camera talks that focused on the situation in Egypt, sources at the church said.
They also discussed efforts to promote the Muslim and Christian values of mercy and love.
In statements after the meeting, the Pope thanked the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar for coming to the Cathedral to extend Christmas greetings to Copts.
Al-Azhar plays an important role in Egypt as a moderate religious institution, the Pope noted.
Tayyeb said that al-Azhar is working to launch its own channel to promote moderate teachings and tolerance of Islam.
There has never been such a thing as a civil or sectarian war in Egypt, which has always been and will continue to be a safe haven, the Grand Sheikh said.
National unity should start from scholars and men of the cloth, Tayyeb said. "We're moving ahead toward that goal," he said.
For his part, Egypt's Mufti stressed the importance of exchanging talks and greetings among Egyptians, stressing, "this is in the core of Islam."

text: An important step in the system for healthy cows is fresh pasture. Integrating a pasture rotation program, cows receive their nutrition and previously pastured grass gets a chance to grow back. It is a cool experience to see the cows as they head out on a new pasture. They first walk as a heard around the fence line happily chomping mouthfuls as they go. Once they scope out their new digs they settle in and and seem to have a very satisfied way about them. After a few hours of exploration and foraging, they lay down to chew their cud under a huge old cottonwood. All is well in Hops and Heifers land!

Journalists for the New York Times have published a story that purportedly provides an account of what ultimately led the United States government to target and kill Anwar al-Awlaki, a Muslim cleric who had been born in the US. It also provides some details on what happened when US citizen Samir Khan and Awlaki's son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki were killed. However, importantly, the story consists primarily of "anonymous assertions" by "current and former Obama administration officials."
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) have condemned the story:
…In anonymous assertions to The New York Times, current and former Obama administration officials seek to justify the killings of three U.S. citizens even as the administration fights hard to prevent any transparency or accountability for those killings in court. This is the latest in a series of one-sided, selective disclosures that prevent meaningful public debate and legal or even political accountability for the government's killing program, including its use against citizens…
Though the introduction claims the story "highlights the perils of a war conducted behind a classified veil, relying on missile strikes rarely acknowledged by the American government and complex legal justifications drafted for only a small group of officials to read," the Times essentially provides a forum for government officials to explain their side of the story and defend the decisions that were made in the process of killing an American without charge or trial.
It is insidious because, as the ACLU and CCR appropriately points out, "Government officials have made serious allegations against Anwar al-Awlaki, but allegations are not evidence, and the whole point of the Constitution's due process clause is that a court must distinguish between the two. If the government has evidence that Al-Awlaki posed an imminent threat at the time it killed him, it should present that evidence to a court."
Now, officials "anonymously assert that Samir Khan's killing was unintended and that the killing of 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Aulaqi was a mistake, even though in court filings the Obama administration refuses to acknowledge any role in those killings. In court filings made just last week, the government in essence argued, wrongly, that it has the authority to kill these three Americans without ever having to justify its actions under the Constitution in any courtroom."
The secrecy game being played by the Obama administration is a blatant abuse of power, and this story published by the Times only serves to further enable such game-playing.
Reporters write, "While the Constitution generally requires judicial process before the government may kill an American, the Supreme Court has held that in some contexts — like when the police, in order to protect innocent bystanders, ram a car to stop a high-speed chase — no prior permission from a judge is necessary; the lawyers concluded that the wartime threat posed by Mr. Awlaki qualified as such a context, and so his constitutional rights did not bar the government from killing him without a trial."
The only problem is it should not be up to officials in the Executive Branch to decide when citizens do not deserve to enjoy the continued protection or privilege of constitutional rights. Courts are the only arena capable of determining a person no longer deserves judicial process. As such, the government should have to fully cooperate with a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and CCR that challenges the legality of the drone strike that killed Al-Awlaki and Khan, "as well as the separate strike that killed Al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, in Yemen in September and October 2011." It should be required to prove these deaths were not wrongful before a person like a judge.
The story continues and describes Office of Legal Counsel lawyers working for the Justice Department who "grew uneasy."
…They told colleagues there were issues they had not adequately addressed, particularly after reading a legal blog that focused on a statute that bars Americans from killing other Americans overseas. In light of the gravity of the question and with more time, they began drafting a second, more comprehensive memo, expanding and refining their legal analysis and, in an unusual step, researching and citing dense thickets of intelligence reports supporting the premise that Mr. Awlaki was plotting attacks…
There is not much explanation for what makes it "unusual" to look at "intelligence reports" on Awlaki while putting together the legal justification for killing him, but one can imagine. Think about lawyers sitting around to craft the legal justification for going to war in Iraq (provided this happened) and contemplate how lawyers would feel pressured to give a favorable analysis that endorsed going to war if they saw the bogus or fabricated reports that Iraq's Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Obviously, viewing intelligence reports increases the likelihood the legal analysis produced is less sober and more in favor of whatever objective the administration wanted to achieve when it ordered up the analysis.
Then, there's the part about how the reporters share how the two OLC lawyers—David Barron and Marty Lederman—"discovered a 1997 district court decision involving a woman who was charged with killing her child in Japan. A judge ruled that the terse overseas-killing law must be interpreted as incorporating the exceptions of its domestic-murder counterpart, writing, 'Congress did not intend to criminalize justifiable or excusable killings.'"
It's hard to follow this because it seems like there would be no justification for a mother killing her child. Apparently, they scoured all cases on unlawful killings and found that a judge had made this finding. They pulled it out to conclude, "When the government kills an enemy leader in war or national self-defense…the foreign-killing statute would not impede a strike."
If that does not seem obscene, the reporters draw this conclusion, "They had not resorted to the Bush-style theories they had once denounced of sweeping presidential war powers to disregard Congressionally imposed limitations." How so? It seems pretty medieval of the president to be claiming the authority to kill US citizens without charge or trial if they are "wartime enemies" simply on the basis that some judge made a statement in a case where a mother murdered her child.
In any case, there is further manipulation. The ACLU has sought "disclosure of the legal memoranda written by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel that provided justifications for the targeted killing of Al-Aulaqi, as well as records describing the factual basis for the killings of all three Americans, in a separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuit." The Times fails to mention this case is ongoing.
The administration arguably used the newspaper back in June when officials spoke anonymously to the Times about the administration's "kill list." It has more or less regularly made statements to the press about drone programs—one controlled by the CIA, which the Obama administration refuses to acknowledge in court. (ProPublica documented with a graphic here.)
Leaks or unauthorized disclosures can be good and valuable to understanding national security policies but not when they are made in order to shield documents or records from being released to the public and not when they are made to undermine the pursuit of justice by families of victims of abuses of power.
When leaks occur in these instances, they function as propaganda—making it possible for presidential administration to continue to operate controversial programs in secret without any accountability for actions.
Marcy Wheeler deconstructs the Times' story. She writes, "Mark Mazzetti, Charlie Savage, and Scott Shane team up to provide the government's best case — and at times, an irresponsibly credulous one — for the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki and the collateral deaths of Samir Khan and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki." She highlights a WikiLeaks cable that is conveniently ignored.

The Mirror
Tottenham have started talks with Villarreal over the proposed signing of defender Mateo Musacchio, with Mauricio Pochettino keen to reinforce his ranks in time for the new season.
The Argentine defender has a value of around £21 million, but Spurs are reported to have made an opening offer of £16 million.
Manchester City are confident that they will be able to register Frank Lampard in time for the start of the new Premier League season.
Lampard will play for New York City FC when the 2015 MLS season begins, but will join Manchester City - their sister club - on loan until then in order to maintain his fitness.

Leonardville — The Leonardville community in the Omaheke Region lauded the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources for introducing aquaculture in their village, saying the community-driven project will create much-needed jobs for the community.
Leonardville is situated 134 kilometres south of Gobabis in the Omaheke Region in the eastern part of Namibia. The fish farm that the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources established last year is soon expected to start producing its first catch for the village on the fringes of the Kalahari desert.
"We are very happy as people from Leonardville to have such a project that can uplift our living standard, as it will create some employment for us especially the young people," said Petra Witbooi a member of the community.
Witbooi says she is very proud and thankful to the Ministry of Fisheries for bringing about the realisation of such a novel project in the area from which the community hopes to benefit, not to mention learning about fresh water fish farming.
"I feel very happy. I think it will positively change the lives of the residents of Leonardvile, because it is part of development. It will also develop our people and end the culture of waiting for handouts and to become more self-sustaining," said Frederick Afrikaner.
Afrikaner said the fish project will definitely reduce poverty within Leonardville. Another member of the community Maria Abrahams agreed, saying the project will go a long way in reducing poverty and unemployment in the community.
"We are happy about the fish project, because it will create more jobs and attract investors to the village," said Abrahams. Close to 100 people will be employed once the N$20 million project is completed in August this year.

The Ancient Egyptians created an amazing number of sculptures, monumental tombs, and forms of writing that are works of art all on their own. Although the days of the pharoahs are long gone, their legacy lives on in Egypt's amazing museums and world-class ruin sites. Their artwork also lives on in paintings, sculptures, and other objets d'art that millions use to decorate their homes. Functional Egyptian-inspired art is also popular but some pieces look so absolutely stunning that it almost seems strange to put them to use.
Take the Royal Egyptian Cheetahs Sculptural Glass-topped Console as an example. Two beautiful, golden-colored statues of cheetahs sitting on their haunches provide the legs for an absolutely exquisite table. Although you could use it to serve drinks, it works better as a platform to exhibit prized Egyptian art and statues on account of its artistic beauty.
The Egyptian Wings of Horus Grand Altar Console is likewise much more suited to displaying prized works of art than using it to as a stand for the television or a stereo system. Use it to display a bust of Queen Cleopatra to show your appreciation for gorgeous Egyptian artwork.

Western Words: New Book Releases For February 5, 2013
Elvis Remembered: 1935-1977 by Gillian G. Gaar
There are hundreds of books already about Elvis, but very few that have been officially authorized by the Presley estate. Elvis Remembered: 1935-1977 is one of them. The book features many rare illustrations, including rarely seen photos from the Graceland archives, recreations of Elvis memorabilia, and a DVD of live performances, interviews and press conferences. There's even a copy of Elvis's first contract with Colonel Tom Parker — which should serve as an excellent guide for young musicians on what not to sign when you're starting your career.
Arapaho Women's Quillwork: Motion, Life, and Creativity by Jeffrey D. Anderson
Many Native American tribes counted quillwork among their artistic pursuits, but the women of the Arapaho tribe seemed particularly gifted at this remarkable discipline. Quillwork played an important role in Arapaho religious life, and was a part of nearly all of their special ceremonies and day-to-day lives. Jeffrey D. Anderson's book includes more than 50 color and black-and-white images of Arapaho quillwork throughout the centuries.
American Indians in British Art, 1700-1840 by Stephanie Pratt
We tend to think of Native American art as being produced only by Native Americans or western artists. But in the 18th century, when the British allied themselves with Indian tribes during the days of the colonial rebellion, artists from England became fascinated with America's native population.
American Indians in British Art, 1700-1840 looks at the works produced by these artists. A wide range of styles is represented, from idealized portraits to realistic depictions of tribal life. Pratt offers insightful commentary that helps readers look beyond the images to the messages contained therein.
Sacred Land, Sacred View: Navajo Perceptions of the Four Corners Region by Robert S. McPherson
What Israel is to the Jewish faith, so the Four Corners region of the Southwest is to the Navajo. Robert McPherson explores the spiritual significance of the cliffs, spires and other landmarks of this dramatic desert landscape. It's a place that is worth a visit for the stunning natural scenery alone; but those who first read Sacred Land, Sacred View will also gain a deeper appreciation for this special place, and discover how the Navajo read their environment as a spiritual text.
Let the Wolf Howl by Matthew White
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is not a common topic in Western fiction. But in Let the Wolf Howl, Matthew White introduces readers to young Buck Carver, who struggles with anxieties that other boys don't. Life on an East Texas ranch in the 1880s has enough difficulties, but Buck has issues that were not yet diagnosed, and has to find ways to cope with his everyday fears. A friend, Cherokee Jack, helps him through the discomfort that comes with OCD, telling him there are times he must "let the wolf howl," but not feed his fears. The book builds to a tense climax where Buck has no choice but to face his condition head on, with lives on the line.
