Thread: What kind of rope to buy?
thanks guys, just ordered a T handle rope. We'll see how it works.Scott
2007 Mobius LSV with a lot of great upgrades and mods
When people see the t handle they think they can't hold it. It really isn't much different. I have large hands and can wrap all but my pinkies around it. Better than getting your arm stuck in something. If you only offer the T or the knotted rope that is what they learn on.2007 XLV Gravity Games

that's a good way to get newbies off to the side out of the whitewash, but could be some issues with larger riders.
Another solution can be found at wake9.com: the nubbin'
What do you need this for? When new people learn to wakesurf one of the hardest issues for them is the whitewash behind the middle of the boat. The surf nubbin' is a special strap that allows you to connect the rope to the top corner of the tower on the side of the surfer. A special wakesurf tower mount that helps pull the surfer away from the whitewash and into the smooth flats on the side of the boat. We have been through a few prototypes, and this version works perfect, is cheap, and easy to install on all tube towers
That's a good idea, I had never thought about that. I just try to maneuver the boat so that the rider is already outside the wake area before starting and if they get caught back in the whitewash they just have to deal with it.Mike

Re: What kind of rope to buy?
Same here, just start them on the side and go slow 3-4 mph until they're outside the wave..
I'd think having the rope on the cleat would be harder to get up, with the rope on the tower it gives a higher angle so you can pull yourself upward..

I guess I'm in the minority. I think that the T-handle is annoying and so do most the people that have surfed behind my boat. I find that when I used the T-handle, that I'd still hold onto it with both of my hands and what would happen is that one hand would get mashed under the other hand.
I did like the thickness and knots though. I got the body glove one and it was significantly the best deal.
This was the best price IIRC, it's who I ordered from.
My first wakesurf board was a used Hyperlite broadcast and they sold it to me with an Accurate rope with the small handle. That's what I use exclusively now. Looks like this:
I think that the thicker rope with knots, but then having the small handle would be a great option.
The reason why I use the Accurate one now is because I get up and as soon as the PP has the wake at the right speed, I'm tossing it in.
When I was learning, I really needed the thickness/knots to get myself in the right spot. But now that I have the wave more dialed and I'm solid, I don't want it or need it and only want a comfy small handle to get up with. And hey, I've only hit my wife in the back with it once so far!
We always pull from the tower. It seems like both wake surf ropes I have are sized with that in mind. They're both almost the perfect length to get someone in the pocket and ride there with the rope only in the left hand (regular side).2008 Moomba Mobius XLV.

Same as you, we started to just pull them slower with whitewash and not get up to speed and form the wave until they were off to the side and that helped some. Can't just toss the rope to the other side of the wave though when pulling from the cleat - it tends to bounce back to the surf side and mess up the rider.
I've never had much luck pulling surf from the tower - rope ends up being way too short (but my tower doesn't arch back as far as some).
Other thing I didn't care for about the Proline T handle is that the nice, thick braided part in front of the handle is too short. By the time a rider would pop up and pull themselves forward a little they were holding onto the skinny rope.The years have been kind, it's the weekends that have done the damage.
2001 MobiusV - Slightly Modified...
After reading this, I am thinking of turning my t-handle from body glove into a triangle. I am sure I could pull it off without too much effort.
If we ever hook up and get out on the water together, I'd be happy to let you try either of my surf lines or any of my (3) surf boards.
I'll be out on the Columbia today! Woot!!!!! Look for the black and white Supra with the "stormtrooper" theme. That's me!

All the buzz about the "connected home" at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year had a familiar ring to it for anyone who has been following the housewares industry for a while.
The CES previews came 12 years after Sunbeam Corp. (now Jarden Consumer Solutions) introduced its Thalia concept of networked "smart" appliances at the International Housewares Show in Chicago.
Thalia never took root for many reasons, among them perhaps the lack at the time of a consensus technical standard for such household connectivity; and a mass consumer base not quite ready for the multi-component buy-in required to optimize the concept's usefulness, and ultimately, its value.
Consumer Traction
Fast-forward to 2012: With wi-fi- and web-enabled mobile devices and "cloud" networking becoming household staples, the latest wave of smart-home applications would seem to have a better than fair chance at consumer traction.
The shame of it all is that Sunbeam and other small appliance companies who dabbled with the connected-home concept more than a decade earlier didn't have the market support or the marketing muscle to pull it off. Their pioneering contribution, though, should not be forgotten.
Housewares innovation often is more evolutionary than it is revolutionary. The industry, nonetheless, still comes through with plenty of new ideas that add meaningful quality and value to home living. The trick is securing the retail support and financial cushion needed to build and sustain the marketing momentum behind such ideas.
Marketing Superpower
It's interesting how revered the consumer packaged goods industry is as a lifestyle trendsetter in the eyes of many observers. The headline of a recent article in USA Today proclaimed, "Trend Alert: 10 new products to watch for in 2012," followed by a roundup of forthcoming entries by such consumer marketing superpowers as P&G, Kraft and Kimberly Clark.
Among the hot trends to be fueled by these products, according to the article: "Touchless cleaning," "Hyper-personal everything," "Simplified meals," "Ethnic foods 'R us," "Healthy but fast" and "Customized snacking."
Game-Changing Credit
Think of how many housewares products have been at the forefront of each of these trends. This happens often: A housewares company develops a novel solution, then after a few seasons of toiling to build the market, some MBA-infused packaged goods giant with a portfolio of high-profile brands and deep pockets swoops in and claims the idea as its own through consumable positioning, a multi-million-dollar consumer ad campaign and preordained slots on the shelves of supermarkets and discount stores across the land.
The housewares industry deserves not only credit for its game-changing ideas. It also deserves a fair chance to be a long-term stakeholder in the concepts it pioneers.
Few if any housewares companies boast the consumer advertising budgets of their packaged goods or technology counterparts. While social media is making it easier and less expensive to spread the message directly to consumers, housewares still relies on its retail partners to accept new ideas, to promote them and to sustain their full value over time.
It's no easy trick, for sure. But never forget: Housewares has been connecting consumers and creating smarter homes long before microwave popcorn and wi-fi were ever invented.

A Win-Win for Children: Raising Smart, Healthy Kids
Sep 25, 2013
Together with eight early childhood and public health organizations, CLASP is releasing Raising Smart, Healthy Kids In Every State, a report that details the early childhood and health benefits of President Obama's plan to expand early education through an increase in federal tobacco taxes. Enacting this early learning proposal with an increase in federal tobacco taxes would eventually provide two million children a year with access to high-quality preschool and prevent 1.7 million kids from becoming smokers.
President Obama's most recent budget proposal included a historic request for investment in early education programs, including universal pre-kindergarten for children in low-income families and voluntary home visiting for low-income parents and their young children. High-quality early childhood interventions are widely recognized as key to preparing young children for school success and improving the lifetime employment and earnings of low-income children. Enthusiastic endorsement of the president's plan to invest in early education has come from a diverse set of stakeholders, including business leaders, law enforcement and Nobel Laureate in Economics, James Heckman. Even the public shows strong support for the proposal.
But in addition to the clear social, educational and economic benefits of such a significant investment in early childhood, the president's initiative as designed would have an even larger impact on public health-and move us even further ahead as a country with policies that are good for our children.
The president proposes funding his early learning plan with an increase in the federal tobacco taxes. It turns out that public health research supports this pay-for: tobacco tax increases are one of the most effective ways to reduce smoking, and specifically to prevent smoking among youth. Just as our country would reap the rewards of a robust early education investment in economic gains for years to come, preventing children and youth from using tobacco and becoming smokers would have a long-term impact by preventing illness and early death from tobacco and reducing related health care costs for individuals and the public.
It's not often that the benefits of a policy initiative are so straightforward.
Investing in children-giving them a strong start and helping them live longer and be healthy-is a true win.

Appeals Court Throws Out Texas'Improper Photography' Law
A state appeals court, ruling in a case out of Bexar County, has thrown out the Texas Improper Photography law as an unconstitutional violation of free speech, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed vows to appeal.
The law makes it a state jail felony for an individual to photograph another person without their consent 'to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of another person.'
The court threw out the case of Ronald Thompson, 50, who was arrested in July of 2011 after parents complained that Thompson was photographing their children in a swimming pool. When police questioned Thompson, they found73 photographs on his camera of children in swimsuits, many focusing on the 'breast and buttocks' area of young girls, aged 3-11.
Thompson was indicted on 26 counts of violating the Improper Photography statute.
Reed points out that the law has been upheld by other Texas appellate courts, and the State Supreme Court will decide its fate.
"The act of photographing children in this manner is viewed by some experts as a stepping stone toward more aggressive behavior as these individuals begin to act on their fantasies," Reed said.
The court also ruled that the law is unconstitutionally vague because of questions about what constitutes 'arousal or gratification.'

Demi Lovato & Selena Gomez reunite on 'X Factor' set
Listen to Demi Lovato on iHeartRadio
Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are getting some time to mix business with pleasure.
Selena was scheduled to perform on last Thursday's "X Factor," but was pushed back because of a voting glitch that forced a re-match for contestants. Instead, Selena spent the evening with her longtime friend Demi Lovato, who is a judge on the Fox show.
The two posted silly photos together from the set. Demi captioned the photo with the hashtag "#14YearsStrong," calling it "the evidence of forever."
Selena will return to the show to perform this week. The Texas natives met as girls when working together on "Barney and Friends."
Both have a busy year ahead. Selena has been touring the country in support of her recent Stars Dance album, while Demi is currently guest-starring on "Glee" and is prepping for her own "Neon Lights" tour, which kicks off in February 2014.

As the school year draws to a close around the country, many parents with school choice options for next year made the decision about what school their child will attend months ago. However, accountability ratings for this school year have yet to be released in many areas. How do parents use information about school performance to influence decisions on where to send their children to school? In a paper released in 2009, researcher Michael Henderson seeks to answer this question. His paper, Information and Exit: Do Accountability Ratings Help Families Choose Schools, reports findings on a study of the relationship between student school transfer and school accountability grades. One possible explanation Henderson reports is that parents have formed perceptions on school quality prior to the release of accountability ratings. In Citizen Perceptions of Government Service Quality: Evidence from Public Schools, Harvard researchers found that people's perceptions of public schools in their neighborhood are generally in line with publicly available accountability information. The authors' find conflicting evidence about whether the similarities are due to available accountability information or observations.
If parents do not use accountability ratings to choose a school for their child, then how do they decide? In the study of parental decision-making, Do Parents Do as They Say? Choosing Indianapolis Charter Schools, Choice Center researchers found that although parents stated that academics was the primary consideration for choosing a different school, this was not evidenced in the actual choice based on academic achievement and AYP ratings. This small sample of research seems to indicate that people are aware of the quality of schools in their area but accountability ratings do not seem to influence school attendance choices. To all the parents out there, what would you consider if you had the ability to choose which school to send your child to next school year?

I am match-making for the UCF MMA event being held at Charter Hall, Colchester on 23rd June 2012.
Historically this show has had poor match-making and not recorded results for many of the MMA fights held on this show. This is now going to change and I have been given the task of making sure this does not happen again.
I will be ensuring all fights for this show are matched evenly and fairly and that all results for fights are recorded on Sherdog and MMA Universe going forward. I have also asked the promoter to ensure historic results are logged.
We are currently looking for the following match ups to complete the already exceptional fight card;
* 84kg- 88kg Pro MMA 4-0
* 66kg Semi-Pro 2-0
* 77kg Semi-Pro 5-0
* 70kg Semi-Pro 1-1
* 70kg Semi-Pro 2-1
* 93kg Semi-Pro 1-0
* 77kg Amateur 1-0
* 66kg Amateur 0-1
* 76kg K-1 2-0
The event will be filmed and shown on Sky Channel 281 which has four time slots on a weekly basis.
Generous tickets deals and some purses can be negotiated. Local fighters are preferable.
If you have anyone that can meet the above match ups or you would like to get on the show then please email me on email@example.com
Kind regards

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by kristie, Sep 14, 2012.
Ok so CeCe and Diamond going home tonight was no shock at all and I'm glad it went down that way. I'm not happy with Carly being #2 and I still think she'll win but someone on the X-Factor page on FB brought up a good point about the rankings and that the producers could have made Tate #1 this week to make it more suspenseful for the semi-finals. If Carly would have been #1 again she would have held the spot for 3 weeks in a row and now her and Tate each have 2 weeks at #1. Who knows but it should be an interesting semi-finals and finals.
I would not put anything past Simon and X-Factor pulling some kind of stunt.
My wife is convinced Simon sent home Vino last week so there would be less competition against his groups, after all, Diamond is less of a threat than Vino.
Your wife is a smart one
i know this video is really cheesy, but i just couldn't help but post it. :laugh2:
oh boy:
side note: i can't wait for tomorrow night.
Yeah I thought that was pretty good!
Same here
For my 1,000th post all I can say is Go Carly!!!
Ok my thoughts of the night:
I think Tate is a good singer but he's not really all that special imo. I could go to Nashville and hear 50 guys the same or better than him. Having said all that he does have a huge following and will make it to the finals.
Kristie and everyone on here knows I have been a HUGE fan of Carly's since the auditions but I gotta say I was a little disappointed with her performances tonight. Now I think vocally she was amazing as usual but the arrangement of "Imagine" had me scratching my head and I agreed with Simon. I wish she had LA or Simon as her mentor because I think Brittany did her wrong tonight and she didn't have to change a classic song like they way she did. I would be SHOCKED if Carly didn't make it to the finals and I really hope she wins!!
Where do I begin with Emblem3....while I thought they did a decent job tonight I can't stand them to be quite honest! Vocally without a doubt they don't hold a candle to Carly, Tate, or 5th harmony and the crotch grabbing needs to stop! I think they'll make it in the music business because you don't have to have a lot of talent to be big nowadays i.e. Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, and many others! I think they'll be there next week.
I actually like 5th Harmony and think they're really good vocally but I didn't like how they repeated one of the songs that they did already this season and I agreed with LA, Brittany, and Demi. I don't think they have the following as the other 3 so I think they'll be the ones going home tomorrow. If it was up to me I would have them go through and send home Emblem3.
I will NEVER understand why they don't let the artists pick their own songs. Why is Britney telling Carly ANYTHING? Carly has more talent than Britney has ever dreamed of. I suppose she could talk to her about what to expect in the business,but not much else. Emblem 3 got worse and worse to me. I really liked the audition, and it went downhill. They need to sing their own style which is like a Sublime type of sound, and move away from the "boy band" image they were directed towards.
And its a shame for 5th harmony that they didn't flip their songs around. The first performance was really good, by far the best they have done. If they could have ended the night on that note, they would be through.
loved that the ladies did this song in both english & spanish. very cool. IMO.
well, they made it sound different by singing it in both english & spanish, which i think was very cool. LA, briteny & demi are just deaf & dumb.
Well yeah it was a little different but come on you're going to defend them no matter what just like I defend Carly :
i know that.

Congratulations to each and every blog nominated for the Family Tree Magazine list of 40 Best Genealogy Blogs. This blogger was extremely humbled and honored just to be nominated this past autumn (thank you, to you-know-who-you-are) . . . and never thought for a minute that benotforgot would be in the top 40! Thanks and {hugs} to each and every individual who took the time to vote, and helped benotforgot make its way into this illustrious company of geneabloggers.
As of just a few days ago, it has now been six (6) years since the word combination benotforgot popped into my head, and I immediately purchased the domain name, benotforgot.com . . . and it's almost two years since I made my very first post on this blog. Just about this time last year, in celebration of one year of blogging on this blog, I set up a 2nd blog . . . benotforgot-calendar.blogspot.com . . . where I post a daily listing of that day's events from the limbs and branches and leaves of my family tree (plus a few other trees in the surrounding forest). In January of this year, my 3rd blog went live . . . benotforgot-journal.blogspot.com . . . where I am making a daily entry from a 150-year-old civil-war-era journal that frequently mentions several of my ancestors. And the absolute highlight of all of this?
Making The List!
- P.S. I tried to keep this Top 40 collage generic enough in case any of the honorees want to use it for something . . . you're welcome to it . . . enjoy . . . and congratulations! V.
- P.P.S. And thanks to Family Tree Magazine and Diane Haddad and Maureen Taylor for organizing the nominating and voting for this list, and for compiling the information and the write-ups about each Top 40 blog. There are soooo many wonderful genealogy blogs out there, so I know that was an awful lot of work!

Dear Truth Advocate,
We're writing with updates on some recent happenings, and a few highlights of what's been posted at 911truth.org in the last month. If you haven't checked the site lately, you'll find a lot of important material.
9/11 Truth Groups continue their work with amazing persistence and dedication all over the world. A list of contacts for many groups can be found at our Grassroots Organizers page. Not all have a group meeting, but are willing to be contacts to get more going in their area. If you are interested in being listed as a contact for your area, click here.

Our Calendar provides access to details of events posted by organizers. We know there are many more events happening than are currently listed--we've set it up so that anyone can post their own events, with as much information as possible, so please feel free to utilize that calendar.
NYC CAN: The NYC Coalition for Accountability Now continues to make great strides in gathering enough petition signatures to place an initiative for a new and independent 9/11 investigation on the ballot for the November, 2009 city elections. This week they announced having gathered over 40,000 signatures! Their Executive Committee, made up of 9/11 family members and survivors (including 911Truth.org Advisory Board member Donna Marsh O'Connor, Bob McIlvaine, Jean Canavan, Edith Beaujon, Janette MacKinlay, and William Rodriguez) have released personal statements from each of them, survivor and artist Janette MacKinlay created a video appeal, another video was released just today, and legal adviser William Pepper wrote a statement requesting our support. The Mission of NYCCAN, and a thorough FAQ page, are now available at their newly revamped website. Only New York City residents can sign the petition, but please have a look and consider whether you can become a member by donating $25 (or more) to support the petitioning now very successfully underway, thereby helping to make this ballot initiative a reality.
From the director:
If you haven't checked the site in awhile, you'll find a pretty stunning variety of articles addressing 9/11 research, precedents, and consequences, as well as other related issues. It's as if the bad news just keeps pouring in, and deciding what to post and what important news we hope readers find elsewhere is becoming more and more difficult. Even the most pessimistic among us are stunned by this new administration's building upon, rather than dismantling, the same programs and policies that had us so outraged the last eight years! In particular, as the horrifying reality of this country's recent practice of brutal torture becomes more clear, we will continue to update readers with information about these shameful and appalling crimes, continuing to be committed "in our names."
Some of you have asked: Why post stories about torture at 911truth.org? Isn't this "just another progressive issue"? What does it have to do with demanding the truth of 9/11?
The 9/11 Commission based much of its findings and subsequent recommendations on information from "9/11 mastermind" Khalid Sheik Mohammed who (not surprisingly) says he "gave a lot of false information" to stop the torture. (Similarly, the justification for the Iraq war was essentially based on statements, subsequently retracted, by "ghost prisoner" Ibn al-Libi while he was being tortured in Egypt.) Obviously, if the very basis for recommendations by the 9/11 Commission that have helped to destroy our civil liberties was based on torture-induced false "admissions," then we, the 9/11 Truth Movement, need to be working hard to bring about truth and accountability for torture, in addition to 9/11 crimes themselves. The last sentence of our Mission Statement says, "TO END ... the regime and illicit power structures responsible for 9/11 and to replace the system that made 9/11 necessary."
And having spent my life among Kansas conservatives, I can state unequivocally that this is not a "progressive issue." True conservatives (as opposed to neocons), such as Andrew Bacevich, Paul Craig Roberts, and Bruce Fein are as appalled by this criminal behavior as any progressive, and speaking out just as fervently. As with the case for 9/11 truth, demanding an immediate end to and accountability for torturing people--any people, including those we've tortured to death, or the 2400 children the US has admittedly detained in Iraq--is certainly not a partisan issue... It supersedes any previous false left/right, progressive/conservative paradigm. It is a human issue.
Finally, no matter how much we may want to focus solely on the "root" (9/11), we as human beings can not do that without also addressing the immediate bleeding "branches." Of course we don't want to see the 2,000 torture photos Obama now refuses to release, but we must face this darkness and overcome it if we are to have any future at all. A former military interrogator of 14 years has made the case that torture has cost "hundreds if not thousands" of American lives, and has been a chief anti-American recruiting tool: "[M]any -- as many as 90 percent -- of those captured in Iraq said they joined the fight against the United States because of the torture conducted at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay." In addition to the many lives lost (and now at risk) because of Americans torturing, Americans themselves are also at risk.
For a movement of people demanding justice, allowing these torture policy authors, their lawyers, and those who have personally committed the crimes, (with the psychologists and medical doctors who monitored them), to walk free with no accountability for their part in torture, murder, and war crimes, is outrageous. This psychological denial on the part of the American people may well (and probably should, really) lead to more anti-American sentiment even than the crimes themselves. Can we really allow the rest of the world to believe that we just don't care? This is absolutely part of demanding accountability for 9/11. We all know those crimes did not end on that dreadful day. And we must strive to end them now.
For these reasons, and in keeping with our Mission Statement, 911truth.org will continue to focus on posting 9/11-related news, information, and actions, but we will also continue to bring to your attention articles about torture and many other issues that have sprung from or been facilitated by the crimes of 9/11, as well as the occasional useful-but-unrelated piece. Naturally, we all want to see the arsonists who lit the original fires behind bars, but we mustn't forget we also have some currently raging infernos to put out--now!
Thank you!
David Ray Griffin announced this week the publication of his latest book, Osama bin Laden: Dead or Alive? Details are at the site. In addition, he's just completed a tour of the Eastern US and Europe, and allowed us to publish his comments at 9/11: Time for a Second Look. Reports on his tour are at David Ray Griffin & Niels Harrit: 9/11: Time for a second look in Lucerne and David Ray Griffin Tour - Boston and London Reports.
PatriotsQuestion911.com has compiled a valuable new listing of truth supporters: 41 U.S. Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agency Veterans Challenge the Official Account of 9/11.
The peer-reviewed paper, 'Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust...' by Harrit, Farrer, Jones and Ryan et al., published in early April, has resulted in a wonderful interview of Dr. Harrit on one of the most respected Danish TV channels, a print interview at Germany's gulli.com, interviews of Harritt, and Jones & Ryan on Visibility911.com.
Two important things from Peter Dale Scott: "Cheney Corroborates His Early Arrival in the Bunker on 9/11" and his significant article, America's Afghanistan: Heroin-ravaged State. Fred Burks has just written a great article, 9/11, Pentagon, and Missile Defense: $130 Billion on Pentagon's Missile Defense Fails to Stop Four Airliners on 9/11. And Ken Jenkins wrote about psychological aspects of our work in The Truth is Not Enough: How to Overcome Emotional Barriers to 9/11 Truth
Oh, yes ... and the President of Pakistan said Osama
bin Laden is likely dead, that he was a US
operator destablising Benazir Bhutto, and that the CIA
and ISI together created Taliban
Richard Gage of AE911Truth.org appeared live this week on the "Great Day" program on KMPH Fox 26 in Fresno, CA, following his local presentation of "9/11: Blueprint for Truth--The Architecture of Destruction." Bravo to Richard and KMPH Fox 26 for this fair and balanced reporting! Richard's tour of Southern California continues through June 14--details here.
And "9/11 Press for Truth" will air for the first time on US broadcast TV on KBDI-Channel 12, Denver's PBS station, on June 3 at 7pm, with producer Kyle Hence and 9/11 family member Bob McIlvaine live in the studio. Kudos to Colorado911Visibility for your years of perseverance in Denver finally achieving such a success!
Ventura joined Howard Stern to discuss 9/11 truth, and the liberal site,
Daily Kos, has had quite a storm brewing over their rule banning any talk of
9/11 truth issues ... Official
story of 9/11 "almost entirely untrue"
Obama's Torture State - Four Things You Need to Know About Barack Obama and U.S. Torture & Detention ... How MI5 blackmails British Muslims: Five Muslim community workers have accused MI5 of waging a campaign of blackmail and harassment in an attempt to recruit them as informants. The men claim they were given a choice of working for the Security Service or face detention and harassment in the UK and overseas. And the FBI "Blew It" yet again, re. another supposed terror plot in NYC.
Now through the end of June, EVERY BOOK IN OUR STORE is discounted at least 50%. Other items are also marked down. Have a look at the Truthstore, peruse the specials at the front page, and see whether there's something there you've been wanting to get ...
A huge thanks to those of you who make monthly donations from $3 to $50, and to those who have made individual gifts recently. We have pared our budget to the core, and are at this point hanging on. But we definitely need your help now to continue. Please consider how much you value this organization, and make a donation accordingly.
For more than five years, 911Truth.org has served as your portal to reliable information about 9/11, its precedents and consequences, as an umbrella for hundreds of local truth activism groups, as a catalyst for national campaigns and new 9/11 truth special interest groups, and so much more. We have accomplished much in these years, yet much remains to finish the work of bringing complete and open recognition, truth and accountability to this issue, and now is certainly not the time to have to end our efforts.
But we can't keep going without your help.
We are supported solely by contributions from you (and online store sales), and as we've always said, we truly appreciate every penny. We work very hard with very little, thanks to the dedication and mostly volunteer efforts of some very fine people. While we know that times are financially tough for many people right now, this important work must nonetheless continue, and we simply can't do it without your support.
We are asking you to make a contribution right now, to allow us to keep going. You can send a gift by mail to 911truth.org, PO Box 812, Perry, KS 66073; donate with your credit card (either by phone, 785-597-5729 or via Paypal from our support page--you don't need a Paypal account for this); or sign up for a monthly donation from $3 to $50. All these options and details are online at our Support page. Thank you!
As always, we thank you for your courage and perseverance!
With best wishes,
Janice Matthews

Merle Haggard honored to receive ACM's Crystal Milestone Award
Listen to Merle Haggard on iHeartRadio
Merle Haggard says he's honored to receive the Academy of Country Music's Crystal Milestone Award. The presentation will be part of this weekend's ACM Awards ceremony. Merle admits he's still working on his acceptance speech.
The ACM award recognizes Haggard for his lengthy and influential career. The country legend says he's simply tried his best to tell the truth with his songs, which isn't always easy. He explains that he's always written about himself, since that's "the only thing" he knows "anything about." But Merle admits "it's hard to be honest about yourself."
Garth Brooks has been tapped to give Haggard the award, while Miranda Lambert and George Strait will perform a tribute to him. The 49th annual ACM Awards will take place in Las Vegas, and air on CBS Sunday night.

Love the App. Had a few crashes initially (on an iPhone 5), though it may have been more of an issue of me trying to do too many things at once, it seems to have settled down a bit, when not too many apps are running simultaneously.
On my phone, there seems to be a bit of lag time between initiating command and getting response from Siri, I guess I have to be more patient in waiting for Siri to reply til I can tell her what I want her to do.
Also, HFC seems to work equally well with my wired (Sennheiser mm70i) headphones or no headphones at all...haven't tried yet with bluetooth headset but will experiment at some point...don't use bluetooth headset that often.
I'm a bit disappointed (as flash66 mentions) that Airplay is disabled when this app is running...I have to turn Hands-Free Control off to get my Airplay devises to show again. Hopefully there will be an upgrade (soon) to make both features play nice together.
The battery drain is making this tweak incompatible with the goals for my phone. Maybe by 5S it will again be useful. The $ I spent is fine for a fun thing to show off at parties.. saying "COMPUTER!" to my iPhone and it beeping back at me awaiting my request. LUV THAT!!
Just found a huge bug, if you have listening service set to OFF and have A/C Power switched ON, which means its only listening when connected to power you will receive no sms tone alerts or any alerts for that matter, you can still receive phone calls but its broken all other sound alerts.
This has caused me to switch it off permanently.
I bought this thinking it would be great to use in my car through the speakers. I set it to only listen when plugged into a power source. Got inside my car, plugged in my phone to the USB cable and activated Bluetooth to get sound to come in through the speakers. Problem is Siri's listening mode takes over all audio and won't let the receiver have control at all.
Without this mod and doing the above setup lets me do receiver stuff and whenever I want to make a phone call, I hold the home button(music is cut out during Siri mode) and tell Siri to call xxxxx which she then does all through my speakers. When the call is done, the music comes right back by itself.
Thought this would eliminate my home button press. Does this make sense? I prolly didn't explain it very well.
Had this for iOS5 and had issues with it. It works ok, but it's just not sensitive enough. I call Siri, no response. So I raise the sensitivity bar in the settings and I can yell out IGBKGHSGHF and Siri opens up. Tried again on iOS6 and same problems. Just doesn't function efficiently.
The theme sounds I chose when Hands Free was on my phone don't get taken off when you remove your tweak. You need to create a more thorough Remove subroutine in Cydia. My Hands Free sounds are still playing now. How do I get rid of them? The most egregious error is that your remove subroutine does NOT remove a mobile substrate called "Hand Activate". It leaves it behind - the most battery draining mobile substrate of the whole package gets left behind after a remove. Where is it stored so I can remove it physically until you can fix this. And how do I get Siri back to her normal voice now that your tweak is OFF my phone ?We will be sure to look into this thoroughly. We don't know of anything that would cause alert sounds to "not come back", especially if Hands-Free Control is removed. We acknowledge that we have patched iOS to force sounds to play while the mic is on. This has been a terrifically difficult process and is still being improved.
I'm having an issue with the keyboard noises disappearing while the hands-free tweak is enabled. I'm also not getting any txt, or email alert tones. There is also a noise added to the mute switch "on", it's a double beep noise. Unlike everybody else, all I have to do is disable hands free and everything else works just fine after that. It's very annoying that I can't use it while pandora is active, and also that there are no words in the custom database. I wanted to use orange, since there are not many words that sound similar. With that said, the concept of the tweak is awesome, will be very useful once the bugs are lined out. Also having the issue of not being able to stream audio via Bluetooth when the tweak is enabled.

While Colorado burns, conservatives have looked for ways to blame it on President Obama.
Some of the same people who have bashed the president as a big government, big spending liberal now say a wildfire that destroyed hundreds of homes in the conservative stronghold of Colorado Springs can be blamed on the president because he has been too slow to spend money to beef up the federal fleet of air tankers.
The meme began more than a week ago when pundit Michelle Malkin, who lives in Colorado Springs, wrote a piece for the National Review Online titled"Obama Bureaucrats Are Fueling Wildfires."
"The Obama administration's neglect of the federal government's aerial-tanker fleet raises acrid questions about its core public-safety priorities," she wrote.

Bill Would Require Large Companies to Disclose Supply Chain Efforts
A new bill, introduced in the House of Representatives by a New York congresswoman, would require companies with more than $100 million in earnings to publicly disclose their efforts to keep child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking out of their supply chains. "It's virtually impossible to get dressed, drive to work, talk on the phone, or eat a meal without touching products tainted by forced labor," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D) of Queens, when she introduced the bill. According to the Christian Science Monitor: The bill would require any company earning more than $100 million worldwide to document its efforts in two places: its annual Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) filing, and the company's website. These disclosures would detail the companies' policies to prevent illegal labor and their methods for certifying that suppliers abide by them. … "The Congresswoman was very intelligent about the way she's put this together," says E. Benjamin Skinner [author of the book, "A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery]. "[The disclosure] has to be in an SEC filing. If you lie as a CEO in an SEC filing, you go to jail."

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- It's the simplest of household tasks that sometimes become the most daunting.
But thanks to volunteers at Hillside Handymen, those pesky home repairs for many residents have quickly become a thing of the past.
The Handymen are a part of Hillside Community Church's men's ministry, which is composed of both skilled and non-skilled craftsmen who use their talents and time to help residents with household repairs.
They're in the business of donating their time and labor to serve widows, single parents, the elderly and families with serious illnesses who are unable to take care of minor fixes and repairs to their homes.
"You know single dads need just as much help as single moms," said Steve Russo of Rancho Cucamonga.
"It's not a matter of not knowing how to do it, I just don't have time. As a single parent you're busy enough running from morning to night."
After months of staring at his back fence that was blown down, Russo approached the ministry seeking help.
"I was aware of what they were doing, but my male ego got in the way. But then I said, `This is ridiculous,"' he said.
Since 2005, the Handymen have been dedicated to helping friends and families of the church.
It started when a brother- in-law of one of the church members had a debilitating medical condition that prevented him from working around his home or in his garden. Some of the church-goers learned of this and didn't hesitate to help.
"There was a need for our church members, and not just families but maybe single families, and then it just evolved to the charter it is today," said Rich LaBarge, the co-leader of the group.
There are 15 other co-leaders that help organize and run the ministry. In total, there are 80 Handymen on their ministry roster.
Those who need work on their home must apply at www.HillsideHandymen.com, and from there the work is divided among the men of the group.
Due to liability issues, the group cannot perform any repairs at apartments.
Homeowners must pay for the materials, but the Handymen donate their time, tools, labor and skills, LaBarge said.
There are four "fix-it days" a year, or one a quarter.
Those days are usually announced in the church's bulletin and on the church website, LaBarge said.
The Friday before the "fix-it day," a couple men are sent out to assess what work needs to be done. From there, teams are assigned to homes, depending on the need.
The men have helped at homes in Pomona, Claremont, Upland, Chino, Rancho Cucamonga, Norco and Crestline.
"We concentrate on fellowship with each other being accountable, productive and utilizing our skills to help others through our talents and spiritual gifts," La Barge said.
For Fontana resident Sara Sahagun, the Handymen were a blessing after her husband died in March 2011.
Following her husband's death, Sahagun had to short- sell her home, give up two German shepherds, attend 11 funerals that year, and her income was cut in half, she said.
The father of one of her son's friends - who is an electrician and member of the Hillside ministry - helped install a ceiling fan at her new house. He told her about the group, what they did and encouraged her to apply online if she had other repairs.
"My husband was a handyman, I was so clueless," she said. "You don't realize how much your spouse does until they're not there."
Three Handymen visited her home on Nov. 10 for about six hours, repairing her son's sliding closet door, outdoor lights, sprinkler heads, installing a new faucet and ceiling fan and assembling a chair.
"They were laughing at me because I was so excited to get these things done," Sahagun said. "They didn't just do the work and leave. They prayed with me before they left and talked to me about what happened."
The Handymen were also instrumental in completing the interior portion the Whittier Worship Center at the Thousand Pines Church Camp in Crestline.
A church in Whittier donated funds to help build the center. Construction began in 2010 but then 80 mph winds blew the building down.
The camp needed $175,000 to fix the building, and had only $100,000 on hand for raw materials.
That's when the Hillside men stepped in.
"It was a huge blessing for us because we didn't have the money on hand to finish the building all at once," said Steve Garcia, the director of Thousand Pines.
Forty men helped in re-framing the interior of the 48,000- square-foot building, and in the installation of plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and finished carpentry.
The Handymen began the project last fall and it was completed in mid-November.
To help with the travel, Garcia gave the men gas cards as a "Thank you."
"Their hearts are in that they really want to be serving people and even though a lot of them are out of work or unemployed, they were out there serving for free," Garcia said.

In Jordan, entrepreneurship skills help weather the economic storm
Refurbishing damaged diapers from a nearby factory may not be everyone's cup of tea — but for Amira Rizk Abu Bqeira and members of her community, who have begun to feel the strain of an influx of refugees from Syria, cloth nappies are proving to be a business niche that may protect them from sinking into poverty.
- 80 businesses will have been funded and set up by the end of the year
- 60 Jordanians trained so far, with US $6.85 million to support the training and funding of potential entrepreneurs
- Implemented with the Government of Jordan, NGO partners Ruwwad For Development, Ruwwad Micro-Venture Fund, Jordan Career Education Foundation, ACTED and REACH, as well as the Centre for Strategic Studies/Jordan University and Yarmouk University
As thousands of refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria continue to pour into Jordan, life for 38-year-old Amira and her husband has become difficult. With four children to support, they, like many Jordanians, face overcrowded conditions, unaffordable accommodation, and a strain on local resources and infrastructure. To make matters worse, the refugee influx is causing investment to flee, prices to rise and increased competition for local jobs.
However, since UNDP selected Amira, along with 60 other participants for a scheme that taught her entrepreneurial skills, she is on her way to becoming the local queen of diaper repair.
As part of several livelihood and income generating programmes, the course covers such subjects as financial planning, marketing, product sales, environmental sustainability and social impact. The project is helping Amira take advantage of a business idea she had some time ago. With 6,000 JOD (approximately US $8,500) that she received at the end of the training course, she is setting up a business that obtains defective diapers from a local factory at low cost, repairs and repackages them, and sells them at a fraction of the cost of well-known brands.
"This training is an opportunity for housewives who did not have professional experience to enter the labour market," Amira says. "The challenging economic situation pushed me to enroll, so I can help my husband, who is unemployed, and the families in my community lead a better life."
Since April 2013, UNDP has been providing support to vulnerable host communities affected by the influx of Syrian refugees in the two northern governorates of Irbid and Mafraq.
"Syrian refugees now make up approximately 10 percent of Jordan's population," says Nadia Al Awamleh from UNDP. "This influx could change the demographic balance in host communities, stoke social tensions and increase competition for already scarce resources across the region. To prevent the conflict from causing more instability, UNDP is helping countries affected by the crisis by assisting local authorities and host communities to build resilience, earn more money and escape poverty."
Once the 60 participants, of whom roughly 40 percent are women, complete their training, 16 of the most promising micro-business ideas receive 6,000 JOD in funding. Those who did not receive funding are given help in soliciting money from other potential funding institutions. The project will establish and fund a total of 80 micro-businesses across Mafraq, Ramtha and Irbid by December 2014.
"Now I am familiar with marketing production and I know how to run my business. I can also employ people surrounding me, including my family," Amira says. Part of her business plan involves employing those who need it the most. "I also plan to employ women who are facing very difficult life conditions, such as divorced or unemployed women and widows. This way they can help their families and kids improve their living conditions."

WASHINGTON -- Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) introduced legislation that aims to close a tax exemption "loophole" for food manufacturers that market foods considered to be "unhealthy." The National Automatic Merchandising Association said it is "concerned" about the impact the rule change could have on the food and beverage industry and on consumer choice.
The bill wouldn't ban food manufacturers from marketing their products to anyone they choose. But those whose products don't meet federal dietary guidelines would be unable to deduct expenses related to advertising campaigns directed at children. The federal guidelines are based on the latest science and nutritional data, and are updated regularly to reflect that data.
DeLauro emphasized that obesity among adults has doubled in recent years, while childhood obesity has tripled. "Addressing the complex issues underlying this epidemic will require a multifaceted approach, and this bill is one piece of that approach," she said. "Taxpayers should not continue to subsidize a tax loophole that allows companies to deduct expenses for marketing 'unhealthy' foods to kids."
NAMA senior vice-president of government affairs Eric Dell said the vending association is monitoring the legislation. "Upon initial review of media coverage referencing the proposed legislation, we are concerned with its potential impact on the food and beverage industry and consumer choice," he noted.
The bill would require a tax code change in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Trade Commission.

Tears are needed to lubricate the eyes and to wash away particles and foreign objects. A healthy tear film on the eye is necessary for good vision.
Dry eyes develop when the eye is unable to maintain a healthy coating of tears
Keratitis sicca; Xerophthalmia; Keratoconjunctivitis sicca
Dry eye usually occurs in people who are otherwise healthy. It becomes more common with age. This can occur due to hormonal changes that make your eyes produce fewer tears.
Other common causes of dry eyes include:
Dry eye can also be caused by:
Symptoms may include:
Tests may include:
The first step in treatment is artificial tears. These come as preserved (screw cap bottle) and unpreserved (twist open vial). Preserved tears are more bottle) convenient, but some people are sensitive to preservatives. There are many brands available without a prescription.
Start using the drops at least 2-4 times per day. If your symptoms are not better after a couple of weeks of regular use:
Other medical treatments may include:
Other helpful steps include:
Some dry eye symptoms are due to sleeping with the eyes slightly open. Lubricating ointments work best for this problem. You should use them only in small amounts since they can blur your vision. It is best to use them before sleep.
Surgery may be helpful if symptoms are because the eyelids are in an abnormal position.
Most people with dry eye have only discomfort, and no vision loss.
In severe cases, the clear covering on the eye (cornea) may be come damaged or infected.
Call health care provider immediately if:
Stay away from dry environments and things that irritate your eyes to help prevent symptoms.

If you own a sick pet, then you really need to make sure you get it the help it needs and deserves. Sometimes a pet may be so sick that it may require medical help. Other times it may just need the proper at home care to overcome its sickness. As a responsible pet owner, it is your job to recognize the signs and symptoms that come along with a sick pet. Depending on the severity of the sickness, sometimes you may end up needing to take it to a veterinarian or animal hospital.
Some of the key signs and symptoms a pet will show when sick are a decrease or loss in appetite, hiding, vomiting or diarrhea, bloating of the abdomen, and lumps or tumors. It just depends on how sick they are. The earlier you can get your pet help, the better; you never know how quickly a problem can progress and turn into something else. Pet supplies are available to make sure your pet is properly cared for and comforted. It is also a good thing to get healthy pet food to make sure that your pet is getting the appropriate nutrients.
You need to also make sure you are aware of any physical needs your pet may require when sick. Some of the medications may cause your pet to evacuate or urinate more, etc. Sick pets should also be kept in a quiet, relaxing environment; many prefer to be left alone. It may not be that easy to take care of a sick pet if you are unfamiliar with that particular animal's personality. You just need to make sure that you follow instructions from the vet.

When upgrading from a previous release to Zend Framework 0.6 or higher you should note the following migration notes.
The most basic usage of the MVC components has not changed; you can still do each of the following:
/* -- create a router -- */ $router = new Zend_Controller_RewriteRouter(); $router->addRoute('user', 'user/:username', array('controller' => 'user', 'action' => 'info') ); /* -- set it in a controller -- */ $ctrl = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $ctrl->setRouter($router); /* -- set controller directory and dispatch -- */ $ctrl->setControllerDirectory('/path/to/controllers'); $ctrl->dispatch();
We encourage use of the Response object to aggregate content and headers. This will allow for more flexible output format switching (for instance, JSON or XML instead of XHTML) in your applications. By default, dispatch() will render the response, sending both headers and rendering any content. You may also have the front controller return the response using returnResponse(), and then render the response using your own logic. A future version of the front controller may enforce use of the response object via output buffering.
There are many additional features that extend the existing API, and these are noted in the documentation.
The main changes you will need to be aware of will be found when subclassing the various components. Key amongst these are:
Zend_Controller_Front::dispatch() by default traps exceptions in the response object, and does not render them, in order to prevent sensitive system information from being rendered. You can override this in several ways:
Set throwExceptions() in the front controller:
Set renderExceptions() in the response object:
$response->renderExceptions(true); $front->setResponse($response); $front->dispatch(); // or: $front->returnResponse(true); $response = $front->dispatch(); $response->renderExceptions(true); echo $response;
Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface::dispatch() now accepts and returns a The Request Object instead of a dispatcher token.
Zend_Controller_Router_Interface::route() now accepts and returns a The Request Object instead of a dispatcher token.
Zend_Controller_Action changes include:
The constructor now accepts exactly three arguments,
and Array $params (optional).
Zend_Controller_Action::__construct() uses
these to set the request, response, and invokeArgs
properties of the object, and if overriding the
constructor, you should do so as well. Better yet, use
the init() method to do any instance
configuration, as this method is called as the final
action of the constructor.
run() is no longer defined as final, but is
also no longer used by the front controller; its sole
purpose is for using the class as a page controller. It
now takes two optional arguments, a
and a
indexAction() no longer needs to be defined, but is encouraged as the default action. This allows using the RewriteRouter and action controllers to specify different default action methods.
__call() should be overridden to handle any undefined actions automatically.
_redirect() now takes an optional second argument, the HTTP code to return with the redirect, and an optional third argument, $prependBase, that can indicate that the base URL registered with the request object should be prepended to the url specified.
The $_action property is no longer set. This property
was a
which no longer exists in the current incarnation.
The sole purpose of the token was to provide
information about the requested controller, action,
and URL parameters. This information is now
available in the request object, and can be accessed
as follows:
// Retrieve the requested controller name // Access used to be via: $this->_action->getControllerName(). // The example below uses getRequest(), though you may also directly // access the $_request property; using getRequest() is recommended as // a parent class may override access to the request object. $controller = $this->getRequest()->getControllerName(); // Retrieve the requested action name // Access used to be via: $this->_action->getActionName(). $action = $this->getRequest()->getActionName(); // Retrieve the request parameters // This hasn't changed; the _getParams() and _getParam() methods simply // proxy to the request object now. $params = $this->_getParams(); // request 'foo' parameter, using 'default' as default value if not found $foo = $this->_getParam('foo', 'default');
noRouteAction() has been removed. The appropriate way to handle non-existent action methods should you wish to route them to a default action is using __call():
public function __call($method, $args) { // If an unmatched 'Action' method was requested, pass on to the // default action method: if ('Action' == substr($method, -6)) { return $this->defaultAction(); } throw new Zend_Controller_Exception('Invalid method called'); }
Zend_Controller_RewriteRouter::setRewriteBase() has been removed. Use Zend_Controller_Front::setBaseUrl() instead (or Zend_Controller_Request_Http::setBaseUrl(), if using that request class).
Zend_Controller_Plugin_Interface was replaced
Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract. All methods now
accept and return a The Request
Object instead of a dispatcher token.

University of Alaska Southeast Art of Place Spring Series Announced
A special series featuring renowned Alaska Native artists has been organized by UAS faculty Ernestine Hayes.
All events take place on Thursdays from 10 a.m.-12 noon in the Glacier View Room on the UAS Auke Lake campus. A dessert potluck follows. The series begins Feb.10 with a focus on basketry featuring artist Della Cheney. The final event April 21 features Helen Watkins, a master in the gathering and putting up of local food with a full potluck to follow. The Art of Place is designed to offer opportunities for students, faculty, and others from the UAS and the Juneau community to visit with artists in an informal setting.
Photo Left: Clarissa Rizal weaves a Raven Chilkat robe for Anne Gould-Hauberg (co-founder of the Pilchuck School of Glass in Washington State), 2001.
February 10 BASKETRY
featuring DELLA CHENEY
Basketry has long been recognized as a truly expressive personal and cultural art. Rooted to place in the most literal sense, basketry continues to exemplify the marriage of function and art.
February 24 WEAVING
featuring CLARISSA RIZAL
Textiles signal many messages, including the status, kinship, and wealth of the wearer. After years in which its survival was in peril, the art of weaving Ravenstail and Chilkat robes is once again strong and once again communicating important social messages.
March 17 SILVER CARVING
featuring ED KUNZ
Carving copper jewelry enjoys a longer tradition than silver in the history of Lingit Aani, and both arts exemplify the social purpose of jewelry. Like textiles, jewelry contains social signals about wearers and their relationships with place, art, and the other.
March 24: WOOD CARVING
featuring DOUG CHILTON
Complex and of unparalleled beauty, emblems carved upon bowls, poles, and posts fulfill a function beyond decoration, and express cultural sophistication in its truest sense.
April 7 BEADING & BLANKETS
featuring FLORENCE SHEAKLEY
The arts of beadwork and button blankets exemplify the dynamic nature of art and how art is shaped by place, culture, and community.
April 21 FULL POTLUCK
featuring HELEN WATKINS
Food is the essential human need most directly related to place. Fittingly, the series features the sharing of food in the contemporary tradition of potluck and ends with an examination and demonstration of the art of gathering and preserving foods specific to our unique place: Lingit Aani – the rich, abundant temperate rainforest.
