More than a decade after the 9/11 attack conspiracy theories are still rife. It is important to know the truth and what feeds this conspiracy. Part of it is due to human gullibility.
This conspiracy is maliciously devised as the new blood libel. I will explain that at the end of this article. But first let me debunk the claim. This article is based on logic and science, not on political agenda. Please first watch the claim. 911-conspiracy.
Well, it sound convincing, doesn't it? Now let us go over the claims one by one and uncover the deception. The myths promoted are as follow:
Myth 1 – The Collapse of the Building 7
One question that the conspiracy theorists ask is, why a third sky scraper at the WTC that was not hit by the planes collapsed?
I quote the following paragraph from Wikipedia:
"The working hypothesis, released in the June 2004 progress report and reiterated in a June 2007 status update, was that an initial failure in a critical column occurred below the 13th floor, caused by damage from fire and/or debris from the collapse of the two main towers. The collapse progressed vertically up to the east mechanical penthouse. The interior structure was unable to handle the redistributed load, resulting in horizontal progression of the failure across lower floors, particularly the 5th to 7th floors. This resulted in "a disproportionate collapse of the entire structure"
The insurance company agreed to replace the building. This cost them seven billion dollars.
Firsly, insurance companies don't pay the owners if their buildings are damaged or destroyed. The insurance is for replacement cost. Therefore, Larry Silverstein, the lease holder of the building did not and could not collect one dime from that seven billion dollars. That money was paid to a contractor hired by the insurance company to replace the building. This is the normal procedure.
Secondly, would the insurance company pay so much money if the building was fraudulently destroyed? Wouldn't they send their own inspector to verify the legitimacy of the claim? Seven billion dollars is not small money. If they paid that money it is because they were convinced of no faul play.
Thirdly, who would have benefited from the destruction of that building? If the intent was to kill people, as the conspiracy theorists want us to believe, that goal was not achieved. So if the official explenation that says the building had suffered fatal damages due to the fall of the debries from the two WTC towers is not true what other motive can these conspiracists think of?
The video claims that Larry Silverstein is on tape saying he ordered the New York Fire Department to "pull it."
Think about this for a moment. Is this claim realistic? Would the NYFD pull down a perfectly safe building just because its owner orders them to pull it?
To answer this first argument one does not have to be a building engineer or have any knowledge of structures. All one needs is a little commonsense. Alas commonsense is not all that common. As Bertrand Russell rightly pointed out, "in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible." [Marriage and Morals.1929 ch. 5]
This picture shows the damage sustained by Building 7 and why it became necessary to bring it down.
The following paragraph is taken from Wikipedia
After the North Tower collapsed, some firefighters entered 7 World Trade Center to search the building. They attempted to extinguish small pockets of fire, but low water pressure hindered their efforts. Over the course of the day fires burned out of control on several floors of 7 World Trade Center, the flames visible on the east side of the building. During the afternoon, fire was also seen on floors 6–10, 13–14, 19–22, and 29–30. In particular, the fires on floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13 continued to burn out of control during the afternoon. At approximately 2:00 pm, firefighters noticed a bulge in the southwest corner of 7 World Trade Center between the 10th and 13th floors, a sign that the building was unstable and might collapse. During the afternoon, firefighters also heard creaking sounds coming from the building. Around 3:30 pm FDNY Chief Daniel Nigro decided to halt rescue operations, surface removal, and searches along the surface of the debris near 7 World Trade Center and evacuate the area due to concerns for the safety of personnel. At 5:20:33 pm EDT the building started to collapse, with the crumble of the east mechanical penthouse, and at 5:21:10 pm EDT it collapsed completely. There were no associated with the collapse.
Myth 2: Fire alone is not enough to collapse steel buildings.
The conspiracists argue that considering that Meridian Plaza in Philadelphia burned for 19 hours and yet it never collapsed how could the twin towers fall after one and two hours of burning. They also ask, "How could the jet fuel have caused the collapse when the Federal Emergency Management has stated that most of the jet fuel was gone in the initial fire ball?" Moreover, they ask, "How could the fires have caused the collapse at all since tests by Cardington found that steel buildings survive fires with temperatures beyond the range possible with Jet Fuel? Since the black smoke coming from the buildings indicates that the fire was oxygen starved and could not have reached its maximum degrees of 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit and steel melt at much higher temperature of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, how could cleanup crews have found melted steel in the basements?"
Here are my answeres: When a steel structure high-rise catches fire, the only fuel is the furniture inside the building. This does not produce enough heat to melt the steel structure.
When thousands of liters of jet fuel burst at once in a closed space the heat generated is a lot hotter. It's no longer just heat but a bomb. That is because the heat is trapped. A log burned inside a woodstove can generate more heat than if it is burned in an open space where heat can dissipate into the atmosphere.
However, the buildings were not collapsed because the steel columns melted. They collapsed because the structure was damaged and rendered precarious. The heat softened the steel and allowed it to bend precipitating the collapse. It was an added element, but not the main cause.
The South Building fell after just one hour becuse the weight above the damge was more than that of North Building that fell after two hours burning.
Structural damage alone was enough to make the buildings collapse. That was what happened to Building 7.
In June 1995 the Sampoong Department Store in Korea collapsed because of structural failure. At first minor cracks started to show. The cracks widened gradually. It took several days after the cracks were discovered for the structure to finally give in. With so much weight above the point of impact causing so much damage to the columns, the two towers were doomed even without a fire.
Myth 3: Super thermite was used to increase the heat.
Physicists such as Steven E. Jones and Niels Harrit have claimed that within the dust and rubble of the World Trade Center towers lies evidence of "a highly engineered explosive." They are pointing to traces of active thermitic material, a substance that produces intense localized heat when burned that was found among the rubbles in Ground Zero.
Answere: Super thermite can only generate intense heat in small areas. Painting it on one inch thick steel, which is the the thickness of the steel used in building the columns of WTC, and setting it on fire does not make the steal hot enough to bend. In fact the fuel will end before the other side of the steel gets hot. This theory is completely unscientific.
But where did the traces of super thermite come from?
Active thermitic material is a combination of elemental aluminum and iron oxide in form of thermite known as "nanostructured super-thermite." It is used in steel cutting and welding, fireworks shows, hand grenades and demolition.
After the collapse of the buildings the columns had to be cut so they could be removed. This allowed thermite to be scattered all over the place and that is the reason melted steel was found on the site. You can find this material on the floors of any welding shop.
So much for the erudition of these two "physicists!"
Myth 4: The impact of the wind and storm is greater than the impact of the airliners
One question the conspiracy theorists ask is, "how could the airliners' impact have caused the collapse when wind gust and storms had at times been greater than the impact of the airliners?" They argue that the buildings were designed to stand the wind force gust of 140 mph that cause a sheer lateral force of 11,000,000 pounds, which exceeds that caused by the airliners.
This is sheer deception. No one has said that the buildings fell because of the impact. The 11,000,000 pound force is sustained by the entire structure, whereas the airliners hit only a small area of the façade. This localized force was enough to destroy the columns. The buildings did not bend because of the impact. They did not fall because of the impact. They collapsed because of the damage caused to the columns that gave in to the weight of 20 and 40 stories above them.
A bullet that can kill you will merely push you slightly if its impact is distributed by an anti-bullet vest. The wind's impact is distributed whereas the impact of the panes were localized which caused structural damage.
Myth 5: The Twin Towers were destroyed through Controlled demolition.
Another question asked is, "how could the buildings collapse with the speed of gravity? Each floor hit, should have slowed the fall. This couldn't have happened without explosives placed inside the structure. "
Answer: This question may confound those who have little understanding of physics. Why should the floors have slowed down the fall? The weight of the material falling becomes bigger and bigger as it goes down. If the first floor below the impact could not resist that weigh falling on it there is no reason to expect that the floors beneath it would resist. All floors were built with similar strength but the weigh falling on each lower floor was greater than the the one supported by the upper floors. This is like expecting layers of cardboard place at a distance to each other held beneath a falling bowling ball slow its fall. Floors are built to support the weight of people and furniture. They are not designed to support the falling weigh of thousands of tons of concrete. Construction workers know that floors cannot support a lot of weight and while storing the construction materials they never put too much weigh in one spot. No floor can stand the falling weigh of 20 or 40 story building. Often the falling weigh of one story is enough for the lower floor to give in. Such an argument is ridiculous.
Myth 6: Explosives were used to demolish the buildings
This claim is the crux of this conspiracy theory and it is the easiest to disprove.
A few eye witnesses have claimed that they heard several explosions. Jesse Ventura, the conspiracy theorist enthusiast, has interviewed several people who claim they heard, two, three, four, and up to ten explosions.
Ventura heard several contradictory reports. This means that with the exception of one, all others lied to him, or merely they are confused people.
There are many videos showing the entire event. None of those videos show any explosion. The huge dust created is caused by the crushing of the concrete.
The best way to debunk the theory of controlled demolition is to watch the collapse of the WTC towers and compare them with controlled demolitions.
In controlled demolitions the columns are perforated and dynamite is placed inside them. When they are detonated the building falls and get crushed as the floors hit the ground. In controlled demolition, the demolition happens from bottom up.
Here are a few demonstrations of controlled demolition. Note how elaborate is the process of preparing a building for demolition. Did all these preperations happen in the offices of people in WTC under their nose withouth anyone noticing?
The collapse of the WTC is very different. All the videos show that the demolition is talking place from top to bottom. While the upper floors are being destroyed the floors below them are still standing. They fall as soon as they are hit by the weight of the falling debris.
It takes only a few minutes of attentively watching the videos of the falling of the twin towers to dismiss all these asinine conspiracy theories. If you watch carefully you will see that the floors below the impact are standing intact when the upper floors fall on them, which means no demolition took place bellow them and the whole argument of controlled demolition is discredited. This is all we need to dismiss all the other claims. Compare this fall with the falls of many other controlled demolitions. You will see the difference. In controlled demolition all the floors fall together. Whereas the lower portion of the WTC towers are standing firm until they are hit from above.
This is all you need to watch to see this conspiracy theory is a big lie. You don't have to be a building engineer or even an intellectual giant. All you need is to have a little bit of commonsense. That is what most people lack. We humans are victims of our own gullibility. We let ourselves to be fooled because we don't learn critical thinking. We are a stupid species. This is the reason behind our never ending misery. Isn't the election of Obama proof enough that masses of humanity are just plainly stupid? The majority of mankind all over the world thought this mentally sick man is the Messiah. It is the same people who believe in this stupid conspiracy theory.
The following is a computer generated simulation of how the buildings collpsed.
Myth 7: The top part of the buildings fell over so there was no weight on floors below.
Another question asked is, "How could the twin towers fall straight down when the damage and resulting fires were only to one corner two sides? Only the tops of the twin towers should have fallen, and they should have fallen over not straight down. In fact the top of one tower did fall unto building 4, so there was no building weight to crush the floors below. So what caused the collapse of those floors?"
- The top part of one of the buildings is shown falling on the lower floors. This picture alone is enough to see that the lowerfloors had no chance of withstanding so much weight.
Answer: This is just a lie. First of all the top parts of the buildings did not fall over but right on the floor below. Here is the picture that shows it.
Secondly why should the building with such a huge floor area fall over? This would have required an enormous lateral force. If the only force in action was gravity there is no reason for the top parts to fall over. Once two sides and the core of the building gave in the rest of the coulmns did not have the strength to hold the building in place. They bent and the building fell on itself.
This picture is enough to see that the floors below had no chance of standing that weight. The top floors with the weight of 40 storeis fell faster than the one with 20 stories.
Myth 8: The hijackers could not fly.
One of the hijackers' flight-instructor has said, "I'm still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all."
The hijackers did not have to learn how to take off or land the planes. Steering them in the air does not require a lot of training. That is all they wanted to learn to perpetrated this crime.
Assuming the fanatical Islamic terrorists who cheerfully seek martyrdom to go to heaven were not piloting the planes, who piloted them? Who else is so eager to commit suicide?
The argument is so idiotic that it does not need any refutation. But it gives us a glimpse into the devious minds of the conspiracy theorists and the gulibility of those who accept them.
The absurdities do not end here. The conspiracists ask. "Isn't it too much of a coincidence that four hijacked airplanes had only 20% to 50% of their seats filled, while all other transcontinental that day had 70% to 90% of their seats occupied?"
I don't know how many seats in those hijacked planes were occupied and whether this was highly irregular. The objective of these conspiracy theorists is only to confound and we will see why below. However, let us give them the benefit of the doubt and accept this claim. What are they trying to prove? That those who planned the destruction of the WTC and caused the death of 3000 people were concerned about saving the lives of a few dozen more Americans and hence they decided not to fill the planes with passengers? If the intent was to kill and this was all planned by Bush, Chaney and Condoleezza Rice why not fill the planes to the maximum capacity?
Liars are inconsistent. The goal is to sling so much mud in the hope that some of it may stick. This decietful kind of persenting arguments is typical of all bankrupt ideologies that rely on lies to come to power. It was practiced by the Nazis in Germany, the fascists in Italy, the communists all over the world, and now by the leftists and of coures by Muslims who have been lying for 1400 years. These hate mongers rely on the power of the big lie. The bigger the lie the more credible it sounds.
The New Blood Libel
During the middle Ages in Europe, on Passover, the bizarre blood libel accusations were often leveled against the Jews. These accusations usually led to violent attacks against Jewish communities. There were hundreds of blood libels throughout history, resulting in the deaths of thousands. The blood libel theme rarely deviated. A child–almost always a young boy–was lost. Allegations then arose that the Jews murdered him and used his blood for ritual purposes. Usually those leveling the accusations had murdered the child themselves in order to accuse the Jews. Sometimes the child was a victim of an accident or later found unharmed. The cruelest methods of torture were often used to force confessions and the fabricated charges would serve as a pretext to slander and attack Jewish communities.
By the 14th century, ritual murder charges became common at Passover time. The fact that human sacrifice and the use of even animal blood for any purpose are strictly forbidden according to Jewish law did not matter to those perpetrators and believers of lies. Reason is abandoned when hatred and ignorance rule. Repudiations of blood libels by many popes throughout the ages did little or nothing to stop them.
To this day in many Arab countries Muslims promote this libel against the Jews to demonize them and arouse hatred against them. This libel is however has been exposed. However the hatred against the Jews is still alive. The Jew haters have now invented a new libel – the 9/11 conspiracy theory. According to this theory, it was not the Muslims who perpetrated the carnage in the September of 2001, but it was Mossad, the national intelligence agency of Israel, with the help of the CIA and Bush administration.
A variety of motives are suggested, including: to cause the United States to attack enemies of Israel; to divert public attention away from Israel's treatment of Palestinians; to help Zionists take control of world affairs; and to persuade Americans to support Israel.
Some proponents of this believe that Jewish employees were forewarned by Israeli intelligence to skip work on September 11, resulting in no Jewish deaths at the World Trade Center. According to Cinnamon Stillwell, some 9/11 conspiracy theorists put this number as high as 4,000 Jewish people skipping work. This was first reported on September 17 by the Lebanese Hezbollah-owned satellite television channel Al-Manar.
The number of Jews who died in the attacks is variously estimated at between 270 and 400. The lower figure tracks closely with the percentage of Jews living in the New York area and partial surveys of the victims' listed religion.
Who is behind this conspiracy theory?
Lies are promoted because someone benefits from them. Who benefits from spreading this lie?
It is not difficult to see who benefits. Muslims and the leftists are the ones who benefit.
Osama Bin Landen, who has called this attack ghazwah, (raid) has gloated about his success. The hijackers are lauded by many Muslim jihadi sites. Isn't that enough evidence that Muslims were behind it?
Al-Muhajiroun led by Omar Bakri Muhammad and Anjem Choudary organized a conference "The Magnificent 19″, praising the September 11 attacks.
These are facts that the conspiracy theorists ignore, but they cling to baseless theories, none of which is logical or scientific.
Bertrand Russell said, "If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
This explains why this stupid conspiracy theory is accepted by so many gullible folk.
The objective is to confound and distract people so the enemy is not stopped. Muslims on one hand lionize the hijackers and at the same time they deny they had anything to do with it. With one side of their mouths they say America had it coming and with the other side they shift the blame on the Jews and the CIA and Bush. This is all taqiyah. And of course the leftist useful idiots are always on the side of whoever is against America. The more confusion is created the more votes they can grab. They know that their only hope to come to power and stay in power is through lies. Anything that can smear America is welcomed. Any absurdity that can blame the Jews is accepted. They prefer lies to truth even when there is no evidence to support them.
The 9/11 carnage was inspired by the Quran; it was devised by Muslim mujahids; it was perpetrated by Islamic fighters; it was hailed by Muslims as thier great victory and was cheefully celebrated throughout the Muslim world.
The reason Muslims promote this conspiracy is clear. It is their new blood libel against the Jews. But anti-Semitism is alive even among non-Muslims. The people who incinerated six million Jews are still alive, hidden among us. They may be engineers and experts. But they lie motivated by their hatred of the Jews and America, not by facts.
There is an excellent artilce on the absurdity of this conspiracy theory. Here is a quote from that article:
1. A good conspiracy theory suggests that the government is competent enough to map out the strategy, plan the mission, subvert the individuals required to run the plot and then carry it out without getting caught. For anyone who has ever worked for government, it is known that the level of competency required to create such a conspiracy is beyond that of virtually any government – democratic or otherwise.
2. A conspiracy theory assumes that the government pays its employees enough to remain silent. Given the untold millions that could be made by a single book deal revealing the conspiracy and the relatively low rates of pay in government, this is obviously a ludicrous suggestion.
3. The 9/11 conspiracy theory assumes that the rank and file worker in government who helped carry out the conspiracy would tolerate and assist in the mass murder of their fellow citizens. This might be a fair criticism of senior political leaders in some states, but it is a slanderous accusation for the vast majority of government workers in democratic states.
Please read all this article here. 9/11 Conspiracy Theories – Debunking Richard Gage
And here is another very good article on the subject.
9/11 conspiracy theories: The truth is out there…just not on the internet
Please spread this article and if anyone can help me create a video on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. Lies will keep spreading as long as truth remains hidden. Those who fabricate lies and spread them don't have our best interest in mind. Let us spread the truth and put an end to this devious lie.
If Jesse Ventura had put a fraction of the work that he has put on his biceps on his brain, he wouldn't have made that conspiracy movie about 9/11. One person asked him whether he is going to make a documentary on Obama's ineligibility. His response was no. He added that it does not bother him at all. The biggest fraud on the American people does not bother this man but he has no problem deceiving the public with lies and blaming the victim when an external anemy attacks America.
The problem is not Jesse Ventura. He is after money and lacks patriotism. The problem are the ordinary Americnas who watch his stupid programs and and make him rich. The problem is that the Americans no longer can distinguish between freinds and enemy, or even turth and falshood. Such a nation is doomed and we can see that happening.

Every city worth its salt can be said to offer something for everyone. The astonishing thing about San Francisco is that it does so within such a small area, just seven miles long by seven miles wide.
The city feels squeezed together at times, as well it might: the streets around Union Square are packed with both buildings and people, the latter a mix of workaday commuters and curious tourists. But you don't have to travel far from the centre to encounter a variety of different worlds: buzzing ethnic 'hoods, chi-chi shopping corridors, eye-catching new buildings, expansive old parks... The variety here is virtually endless.
At the centre of the action is handsome Union Square, where visitors often go to procure a hotel or emerge from public transport. The rest of Downtown north of Market Street encompasses the high-rise Financial District, the lovely Embarcadero, the run-down Tenderloin with its gritty dive bars and the grand Civic Center.
South of Market is SoMa: centre of the dot-com boom and bust, but now up and coming again, also home to the San Francisco Giants.
Named after the wealthy 'nabobs' who lived there, Nob Hill is a 'hill of palaces' according to Robert Louis Stevenson, who lived their briefly. The step hill can be taken on cable car. Next door is San Francisco's vibrant China Town, a thriving tightly-knit community for 150 years with Taoist temples, restaurants and shops of all kinds.
The scent of espresso wafts over café-lined North Beach, the area was home to the Beat poets of the 1950s and still draws the both locals and tourists. Nearby Fisherman's Wharf was once a genuine port but is now a dreary tourist trap.
Latino-meets-hipster Mission has everything from taco stands to taxidermists selling stuffed vampire mice. The Castro is the city's gay heartland, quiet and cheerful in the week, packed with exuberant queer partygoers at the weekends. Its neighbour Potrero Hill is a sunny residential area and pretty Noe Valley feels like a self-contained village.
Once counter-culture central the Haight is still one of the liveliest areas in town, the sprawling Western Addition boasts Japanese restaurants and good jazz joints while smart Hayes Valley has emerged as a enclave of considerable hipness.
In the West, Richmond and the Sunset, are largely residential areas that sandwich the verdant expanse of Golden Gate Park. Less flashy and more foggy, locals like to consider this the real San Francisco.
North from the Western Addition, lie the upmarket trio of Pacific Heights, Cow Hollow and the Marina, the former military base of the Presidio and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
Finally, we cross the Bay Bridge to the East Bay, to ethnically diverse Oakland and the "People's Republic" of Berkeley, with its reputation for avant-garde arts, leftist politics and marvellous food.

The FIFA World Player Gala 2005 has reached its verdict; the talents of Ronaldinho and Birgit Prinz have been recognized for the second consecutive year. At the climax of a splendid evening on Monday 19 December at the Zurich Opera House on the theme of "Football meets dance", the two stars of world football were crowned ahead of, respectively, Frank Lampard and Samuel Eto'o and Marta and Shannon Boxx. Read on to discover how this evening of football and dance unfolded.
Watched by more than 1,000 guests gathered at Zurich's stunning Opera House, the master of ceremonies for the night was Ian Wright, the ex-Arsenal striker and a veteran of last year's awards, assisted this year by former Miss Switzerland, Lolita Morena. A first dance by the Zurich Ballet accompanied by the soloist Stanislav Jermakov got the show off to a flying start.
The first prize awarded was for Fair Play, with the town of Iquitos being rewarded for the formidable welcome it offered visitors at the FIFA U-17 World Championship Peru 2005 last autumn. Ivan Dibos, Peru's Minister of Sport, accepted the award personally and, with no little emotion, declared: "all Peruvians can now carry this great success. The new stadium is a symbol for us and the award is important for the Peruvian people."
After a presentation of the "Football For Hope" programme and the first pair of nominees for the main award, Shannon Boxx and Samuel Eto'o, came the prize-giving for the FIFA Interactive World Player Award 2005. Eighteen-year-old Chris Bullard received the trophy after winning the Grand Final of the competition just 24 hours previously.
It was then time to introduce Marta and Frank Lampard, the next two nominees for the FIFA World Player Award, followed by a two-step from Ana Carolina Quaresma and Dirk Segers. The Presidential Award was then announced, with Joseph S. Blatter coming on stage to present the honour to newly retired referee Anders Frisk .
The FIFA President remarked that he is: "still passionate about refereeing, as he is now becoming an instructor. It's a great honour for me to present him with this award." Frisk, as elegant as ever, was unable to suppress his emotion on this occasion.
"My heart is filled with joy and happiness; I'm deeply touched by this award. All these years I wanted to protect the game and the players. I truly hope that all those involved in football, players, refs, fans: always ask themselves what they can do for football."
The announcement of the final two nominees - Birgit Prinz and Ronaldinho- was followed by a review of 2005 which demonstrated just how packed with FIFA events this year has been: Netherlands 2005, Germany 2005, Peru 2005, Japan 2005, the FIFA Interactive World Cup, etc. Then, the big moment everyone had been awaiting was here at last!
As tradition dictates, the women's award came first. And for the third consecutive year, the German Birgit Prinz won the trophy . The European and German champion, who has demonstrated remarkable consistency, spoke of her joy at being the first triple-winner of the much coveted title: "I'd like to thank all who voted for me. More importantly, I would like to thank my teams - FFC Frankfurt and the German national team - because without my team-mates, this success would not be possible. Without a team nothing works in football."
There followed a short interlude animated by the Zurich Ballet, before the men's winner was revealed…with the winner being t he Brazilian Ronaldinho , making it a second consecutive title for the Spanish League champion and FIFA Confederations Cup winner in 2005. His face lit up by a trademark beaming smile, 'Ronnie's' delight was plain for all to see:
"I'd like to dedicate this prize to all my team-mates and to my family who have always been by my side even in hard times. I would also like to dedicate this prize to God, for giving me health and allowing me do what I love, which is play football and entertain the people."

The Better Business Bureau is warning of a scam involving the national Do Not Call Registry.
Officials say scammers call potential victims and claim to provide an opportunity to sign up for the registry. They ask consumers to verify personal information.
"The scam has several variations," said the BBB. "In one, the caller wants to verify that you are on the National Do Not Call Registry. In another, he/she claims to give you a chance to register your phone number."
BBB officials say that consumers should hang up immediately. They said that the Do Not Call Registry does not call consumers.
To register for the real Do Not Call Registry, call 888-382-1222 or DoNotCall.gov.

Greetings Race Fans,
Note: These images are now available on this site by clicking the Gallery tab.
Here's a link to my images for the entire weekend.
Congratulatons to all the Class Champions ...
Happy Viewing,
The weekend did not start off well. The qualifying session no sooner started and it was discovered the electronic timing system was not functional. Joel Hershoren called an impromptu drivers' meeting and it was decided the starting grid for each race group would be determined by points standing. This saved a lot of time by eliminating the use of stopwatches and the drivers still had an opportunity to run practice laps on the track.
Brenda Butler, a fixture on the starting grid, retired at the end of this season. Here she is sharing some cake with friends. She did a great job of rotating responsibilities among team members. I'm certain she leaves behind a well trained team as her legacy.
Dick Cole also retired. He served in many positions over the years and most recently as Chief Steward for the last several years. I understand this is not the first time he has retired!
Congratulations ot Melissa Fergus on winning the CFC Class Championship!
Brian and Judy Bennett took time during their worker lunch break to enjoy a few parade laps on the track. Nice car!
Although the clouds looked ominous on Sunday morning, the weather cooperated making it a great day for racing. Remember those previous years when it rained on most race weekends? We sure had great weather throughout this season.
A light moment in the stands between races.

Kosrae Village Ecolodge * Sleeping Lady Divers * Kosrae, Micronesia 96944 * ph: 691 370.3483 * firstname.lastname@example.com * HOME
- keep in mind - this is from a person with a very strong ocean bias!
I joined Felicia and Bruce on a few of their weekend explorations and I thought that the photos from Menka would help you share the excitement and wonder of investigating the ancient past.
Menka Valley is known to be an important site in Kosraean pre history, possibly as a religious settlement. The Waguk family opened the valley to visitors about 8 years ago, offering guided tours through the amazing rainforest and part of the ruins complex.
We all knew that only a fraction of the artifacts and compounds at the Menka site have been made available to the public. However, no one, including Salik, was prepared for the extensive compounds, walls, worked stones and terracing that we found.
Our exploratory "team" consisted of Dr. Felicia Beardsley, Salik Waguk (a rainforest guide and a member of the landowning family), Bruce and myself.
Here is a view from the trail head overlooking the valley entrance.
As you go deeper into the valley, you discover a wonderland of giant trees, many dripping with orchids, tree ferns, vines, mushrooms and ferns growing along the path with glimpses of bright wild ginger peeking through the foliage A small colorful stream runs along side the main path, which you cross a half a dozen times on your way though the valley.
A mile or so into the valley you will come to a grouping of compounds and artifacts. You will find some great photos of this area here and here. Then, as you venture further into the mountains you will start to find areas looking like this...
Sometimes you will find artifacts in the open like this food preparation stone, but most of time everything is hidden under a heavy growth of ferns, vines and sometimes mud.
It really helps to have someone who knows what they are looking for - AND a machete!
In all we probably covered several kilometers, uncovering the edges of 6 or 7 compounds, but we barely scratched the surface of this large and impressive area.
Please let me know if you
would like more information about exploring the Menka Valley, archeology on
Kosrae or if you would like to contact Dr. Beardsley.
"Elixir for my soul."
"Amazing disconnect from urban daily live."
"Kosrae Village is a wonderful, magical place run by wonderful people."
"This place is amazing, and you can hear the surf from anywhere in the resort."
"The food is top notch"
"Was especially pleased to find a history of Kosrae in my cottage and the fridge stocked with fresh fruit. What a nice surprise!"
"Kosrae has one of the best reefs that I have seen in my 42 years of diving."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin doctors would not have to give patients as much information about alternative treatments, under a bill that's up for a vote Wednesday in the state Assembly.
Mequon Republican Jim Ott proposed the measure. It would nullify a recent State Supreme Court ruling that expanded the legal definition of "informed consent."
The justices said the law requires doctors to tell patients about available tests and treatments that might deal with their symptoms – even if involves diseases the patients don't have.
Ott said he's trying to avoid rising medical costs as a result of the added consent duties. Democrats fear that patients would be hurt by getting less information.
The court's action was in the case of a man with Bell's Palsy. His doctor ordered tests that ruled out one type of stroke – but another test was not ordered which would have alerted the patient to a second type of stroke that he suffered less than two weeks later.

As promised, here are some of the books I found at the recent treasure hunt/book sale. This will take a number of posts, but there's no such thing as too much literature porn.
That being the case, Hammett and Chandler are always a good place to start. I found three Hammett classics: The Thin Man, Red Harvest and The Dain Curse. Raymond Chandler contributed the aforementioned movie tie-in edition of The Long Goodbye. Spenser scribe Robert B. Parker finished Chandler's Poodle Springs manuscript. And Joe Gores wrote a fictional treatment of the legendary Hammett's career as a P.I. (Gores' novel was the basis for the 1982 Wim Wenders film of the same name).
And that's the first batch. Much more to come.

Hawkins ahead in primary results

Blaine incumbent Charlie Hawkins will face off against political newcomer John George in a race for Blaine City Council ward 2, position 4.
Early election results released by the Whatcom County Auditor's office said that Hawkins has a healthy lead over George with 66 percent of the vote.
George, a Blaine resident and owner of the Ladies' Diamond Poker Club business in the state of Nevada, earned 20 percent.
David Gallion, who currently serves on the city's planning commission, came in third with 13 percent of the vote.
Hawkins, a life-long resident of Blaine and former salmon fisher, said he was happy about the results but was cautious about celebrating too early.
"People know who I am, I am going to let their vote speak for me in November," he said. "But I'm happy. It shows people in the second ward know who I am."
At the county level, incumbent council member Laurie Caskey-Schreiber will challenge Bill Knutzen in the November election, pulling ahead with 45.28 percent of the vote while Knutzen had 44.29 percent. Challenger Dave Pros garnered 10 percent.

Cajun Deep-Fried Turkey and Buffalo Sauce
Serves 6 to 12
10 to 14 lbs. fresh or frozen turkey
2 gallons cooking oil, preferably peanut oil
1 (16 ounce) bottle Butterball Buttery Creole Turkey Marinade
Butterball Cajun Turkey Seasoning
1 (10 to 12 ounce) bottle of your favorite hot sauce
1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1. Thaw turkey, if frozen. To properly thaw a frozen turkey in the refrigerator allow approximately 24 hours for every 4 pounds.
2. Fill Butterball® Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer with oil to the MAX line; heat to 375° F.
3. Remove giblets and neck. If present, remove and discard plastic leg holder and pop-up timer.
4. Rinse turkey thoroughly with warm water or completely cover with warm water and soak for no more than 30 minutes to ensure cavities are free of ice. Pat turkey completely dry on outside and inside of cavity with paper towels.
5. Using an injector syringe, inject 1/2 cup (4 ounces) Butterball® Buttery Creole Marinade in each breast. Inject 1/4 cup (2 ounces) marinade into each leg and thigh. Sprinkle turkey generously with Butterball® Cajun Turkey Seasoning, completely coating the outside of the turkey and inside of the cavity.
6. Place turkey breast side up in fryer basket. Slowly lower the basket into hot oil, being careful not to splatter hot oil. Fry turkey for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per pound.
7. Lift the basket from the hot oil slowly, hooking the basket's drain clip into drain clip mounting hole to stabilize as you check doneness. Insert a meat thermometer in the meaty part of the breast; turkey is done when it reads 165° F. If the turkey is not done, lower it carefully into the oil for an additional 5 minutes.
8. Once the turkey reaches the desired temperature (minimum 165° F), turn the turkey fryer to MIN and unplug it from the outlet.
9. Allow the turkey to rest and drain in the fryer basket for 10 minutes before removing for carving. The turkey can remain in the basket to cool until ready to serve.
1. In a medium saucepan, combine hot sauce, butter, garlic powder, and lime juice, and heat over low heat.
2. Use as a dipping sauce or pour over turkey slices.

Hodgman, John.
Adult Nonfiction PN6165 .H64 2005
Summary: In the great tradition of the American almanac, The Areas of My Expertise is a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small. Although bestsellers such as Poor Richard's Almanack and The Book of Lists were certainly valuable, they also were largely true. Here is a different kind of handy desk reference, one in which all of the historical oddities and amazing true facts are sifted through the singular, illuminating imagination of John Hodgman--which is the nice way of saying: He made it all up. John Hodgman brings his considerable expertise to bear in answering all of the questions book buyers have been asking: -What are the mottoes of the 51 United States? THE ANSWER IS PROVIDED -Who were the U.S. presidents who had hooks for hands? THE ANSWER IS PROVIDED -What role does the Yale secret society "Skull and Bones" play in the secret world government? THERE IS NO SECRET WORLD GOVERNMENT -What was the menu at the first Thanksgiving, and did it include eels? Technically, that is two questions, but do not apologize, for John Hodgman shall answer them both... LATER. -Aside from a compendium of fake trivia, what is the best kind of book to write? A SIMPLE TABLE OF THE 55 MOST DRAMATIC LITERARY SITUATIONS PROVIDES THE ANSWER, and John Hodgman is the author of that table. Imagine if The Book of Lists had been rewritten by Peter Cook and Jorge Luis Borges under the pseudonym of "John Hodgman" and then renamed The Areas of My Expertise , and you will only begin to have a sense of the dizzying, uproarious, sublimely weird, and strangely wise journey that is contained within this book (along with all the pages and words). Perfect for anyone who thirsts for knowledge, and especially for collectors of books of fake trivia, The Areas of My Expertise offers through absurdity a better understanding of the world we share--and recognizes that while the truth may be stranger than fiction, it is never as strange as lies...or as true. Watch a QuickTime trailer for this book.

Contest shows off holiday recipes
By Tara Nelson
A group of Blaine businesses along with the Blaine Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a holiday cookie baking contest. Residents of Blaine, Birch Bay and Point Roberts are invited to bring a plate of at least six of their favorite home-made cookie to the Seaside Bakery on Peace Portal Drive in Blaine between 2 and 3 p.m. December 2.
Judges there will determine the winning recipe, which will be featured as "cookie of the year."
The creator of the winning recipe will receive a prize basket donated by members of the Blaine Chamber of Commerce and the recipe will be printed in The Northern Light and used in the future creation of a holiday cookie of the year cook book.
A portion of the proceeds from cookie sales will be donated to the Blaine Food Bank.
The recipe must be an original recipe created by the baker or family member of the baker and cannot be borrowed from other cookbooks. The baker must also allow the recipe to be printed in the newspaper and the Seaside Bakery to sell cookies made from the recipe.
No profits from the sale of the cookie or future cookie books will go to the baker and any donation of profits will go to the Blaine Food Bank.
The contest is co-sponsored by The Northern Light newspaper, Seaside Bakery and The Circle of Trees art studio. For more information, call 332-8082.

Edsall is heading up the Kenda/Felt mountain bike team at this year's
Trans-Sylvania Epic (TSE). Drew is a veteran of the TSE having completed the
7-day stage race every year since it's beginning. This year he's made it a
priority hoping to improve on his past performances and finally reach the top
step of the TSE podium. Drew will be sending us a report from each day's stage
giving our readers a chance to experience seven days of racing in Pennsylvania
through his eyes.
Read Drew's
report from day 2 below:
When Plan A Doesn�t Work, Go To Plan B and Give It Everything
played out like this: two riders crashed in front of me on the first singletrack
section and I followed with an endo over them. Not so cool when I was involved,
but that�s racing. I was pretty pissed, actually really pissed. Reason being is
that section was followed by me riding solo for the rest of the race on a "road
like� course for pretty much the entire time. So much that I lost a ton of time
in the GC by attempting to chase groups of riders by myself. Total time I lost
is yet to be determined, but it wasn�t pretty. That took me off the top 5 in
the GC, but I assure you that isn�t the last of me gunning for the top 5. Still
4 days to go of racing.
to Plan B.
With that being said, I took that anger early on and re-focused it
toward the Enduro sections. I love going downhill fast especially when
conditions get sloppy and muddy as they were today. So this worked perfectly.
In fact, it worked out well that I got some prototype Kenda SCT tires, my
favorite flat free tire casings, in the Karma 29 x 1.9 tires. Great addition to
my Felt Nine Hardtail for the day. Yes, a hardtail for Enduro on 1.9
tires. My XC style racing bike likes to go fast up and downhill. Was a ton of
fun and worked great. Taking the Enduro sections today went kinda like this: hold
on tight, look ahead for good lines, let go of all brakes, and pray that the
bike holds up. The bike tends to go where you look, and confidence, which I had
on this, can make a world of difference. The equipment held up great and
I ended on the top of the podium today. SWEET!
moving to tomorrow: it is THE Enduro stage. 5 Stages, and tons of technical,
rocky terrain. I�ve got a new motivation to push it hard tomorrow. I am gunning
for the Enduro overall and hoping that with that I will also make some good
amount of time on my competitors in the overall GC. Time will tell!
then, thanks for reading.


text: In front of, usually with reference to the front part of the body. Often used in association with the term 'anterior presentation' or 'occiput anterior' (OA). Usually, babies are born with the back of the head or occiput pointed up or slightly to the left or right side. It is as if the child was looking at the floor during emergence from the birth canal. This is the best position in most cases since it allows the child to negotiate more easily the turns required to get through the mother's pelvis and birth canal. If the baby presents in the birth canal with the occiput anterior and to the left it is called an LOA (left occiput anterior) presentation. If the occiput is anterior and to the right, it is called ROA (right occiput anterior).

This Company Is Ready to Take-Off
Piyush is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It was recently announced that Bank of Japan's bond purchases hit $1 trillion, a figure nearly equivalent to the country's annual spending. On top of that, Japan's probable next PM, Shinzo Abe, believes in printing unlimited yen in order to reach the inflation target of 3%. World over, countries are pumping liquidity into the financial system, and when this trickles down, spending will increase. With increased consumer spending, tourism flourishes, which brings businesses like OTA companies into play.
Maybe it is due to this optimism that Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN) acquired Kayak for $1.8 billion. Kayak, which is a travel meta-search-engine, was originally founded by Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE), Travelocity, and Orbitz in 2004. The acquisition would certainly boost Priceline's overall top line, but analysts believe that the purchase was at a premium. Also Kayak is in direct completion with Google Flights (NASDAQ: GOOG). As of now Kayak beats Google Flights in terms of accuracy, response times, and value for money, but I doubt if Google would remain overshadowed by its peer for long. Also one should know that Kayak's business model depends on Google's ITA software, as it is responsible for the pricing of airline tickets.
Priceline reported a 17.4% spike in revenues along with a 41% surge in gross bookings. Earnings came in 25% higher at $12.40 against the estimated $11.81. The Street was impressed by earnings and the company rose by 10%+ on the same day.
In this Google-Kayak tussle, if Kayak wins Priceline stands to gain massively, and if it loses, Priceline would have a redundant website. Risk taking investors could buy Priceline, looking to lock in massive returns over the shorter term. But conservative investors willing to capitalize in the growth prospects of the OTA industry should be looking at Expedia.
The company reported a 17% jump in revenues, with a 19% spike in gross bookings. Air ticket sales rose by 11% accompanied by a 27% jump in global night room bookings. International revenues rose by 27%, and account for 45% of its total revenues. The company ended the quarter with $2.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents, with $1.2 billion in long term debt.
Understanding the growth prospects presented by smartphone growth, Expedia had launched a mobile ticketing app. By entering into the mobile platform, the company can now be involved in direct marketing and can also provide lucrative deals, without spending much on advertising and marketing. The mobile app covers over 200 airlines and 140,000 hotels, and is the most extensive ticketing mobile app available in the market. The management also announced that the "Hotels.com" app had been downloaded over 10 million times.
The company recently launched its "Find Yours" advertising campaign, and management claims that it was viewed over 2 million times in the first week itself. Also Expedia launched its Expedia Travellers Preference program, in which the consumers can pay upfront or pay after reaching their hotels. This is expected to boost Expedia's online hotel bookings as this would attract consumers who prefer to pay after reaching their desired hotels.
YTD Expedia has repurchased 10.7 million of its shares, which highlights the confidence of the board in the company's future. The debt/equity ratio is 0.53x and the price/FCF stands at an impressive 8.47x. Expedia enjoys a gross profit margin of 77.7% and pays out 17.2% of its earnings. In my opinion, Expedia would be a great growth stock to hold, with a number of positive catalysts backing it up.

Ok I meet with the Peri tomorrow. YIKES! I a so nervous. My biggest fear is that he will say that having another baby is just not a good idea. I worried that the risk involved with being pg on Labetalol will damage the growth and development of my baby. I worried the meds will damage his/her heart. Is just being pg gonna be the greatest form of child abuse my baby sees? I am totally freaked. This is just one of those huge desisons that will absolulty matter in the long run. The answer will change my life forever. I know that if I can have another baby I want to have one. But what if that baby can't grow happy and healthy inside me? [V]

Newark police have made an arrest in the violent mugging of former mayor Sharpe James.
The incident occurred shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday on Bergen Street, near Newark's Weequahic Park.
Police say James was approached from behind by an assailant who put him in a choke hold and grabbed a gold chain from around his neck before fleeing.
James was not injured in the attack.
Police reviewed surveillance camera footage after the attack and announced an arrest early Friday. They said more details would be released later in the day.
James was mayor from the mid-1980s until 2006. He later was convicted in a federal corruption trial and sentenced to more than two years in prison.
