You can expect 1 or 2 emails a month from us. If we have something to share, we'll send an email. If we have nothing to share, you won't hear from us. It's that simple.
The SBT™ Suspended Bodyweight Training Systems offer the fitness enthusiast, personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, and the home fitness equipment consumer an alternative to the bodyweight training systems on the market today. With SBT the user has the ability to finally place their feet in a product that allows common sense positioning of the feet in both a supine and prone position along with a top attachment system free of the commonly seen see-saw motion that has been reported to cause many injuries as users unconsciously slip during a movement.
The 4th Generation Model is built in a variety of stock color combinations with the NEW modular plastic thumb grip which makes it easier for some to raise the arms on the system when needed. Also different on this model is the reinforced construction of the elastic risers which are now permanently stitched into the webbing to assist the user in NOT having to manually position them in the effort of keeping the unit organized and working properly during day to day use.
The SBT Universal Mount is a versatile and cost-effective solution for mounting your SBT Extreme Suspension Exercise System. The bracket mounts to wood, steel, or masonry with a 3/8″ lag bolt or anchor bolt. The SBT Universal Mounts holds up to 800lbs and can also hold two SBT Extreme Units simultaneously.

The Niagara History Center's historic (circa 1823) Col. William Bond-Jesse Hawley House will be open Sundays in September and October, beginning Sept. 4, featuring the 2016 exhibit "Did You Know?". The exhibit asks and answers this question featuring tidbits of historical information on objects, manners and lifestyles of the past.
For example, did you know why hard-boiled eggs are associated with Easter? Where a blanket chest would likely be located in a home? Why baby conveyances were called "baby buggies" and "baby carriages"? The most common wedding dress colors prior to Queen Victoria's white gown?
The National Register historic house/museum, at 143 Ontario St., is Lockport's oldest brick home and includes 12 fully furnished rooms. "Did You Know?" exhibits are presented from 1-3:30 p.m. in every room of the house.
The Bond-Hawley House was built by early Lockport community leader Col. William Bond and later owned by Erie Canal advocate Jesse Hawley, who influenced Gov. Dewitt Clinton to construct the canal.
Docents will be on hand to guide visitors and offer information on the house and exhibit. Donations are accepted. Call the History Center at 716-434-7433 for more information.
The History Center of Niagara is owned and operated by the Niagara County Historical Society, and includes the five-building museum complex, the Erie Canal Discovery Center and Bond-Hawley House.

Who Was Jenni Rivera?
Tragedy struck the Latin American music scene this weekend, when Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera was involved in a horrible plane crash, that resulted in her death.
For those of you unfamiliar with Jenni Rivera and her work, she was one of the biggest Mexican-American singers of the last decade. She was beloved by her fans, and made her fame singing in the genre of banda and nortena.
Rivera was born in 1969, and grew u in Long Beach, California. Her parents, Mexican immigrants, raised Rivera and her siblings in a very musical household. Rivera began singing in 1992, and has sold 15 million albums worldwide. She has made 13 studio albums, and was even the star of her own family based reality show, 'I Love Jenni', which began to air in 2011.
Jenni leaves behind 5 children from three marriages, her most recent to former MLB pitcher Esteban Loaiza.

So many women told me this would happen, I thought they were crazy. I was told that when Luca was walking I would start dreaming of Baby #2. If you don't recall, I wasn't a huge fan of the newborn stage. Well, it didn't exactly go down like they said because my crazy-active little guy started walking at 9 months and there was no way I was ready to even think about siblings at that point.
Now, he's 14 months. He's running, babbling, tantruming, lecturing, dancing, oh and climbing, climbing, CLIMBING ON EVERYTHING. And you know what? I love every minute of it! OK, maybe not every minute- I'm praising God when I see Caleb's car pull into our driveway- but I really do love this stage. I love it so much that I can't wait to do this again.
For years now, we've talked about wanting to adopt. It was always more a question of when we would not if we would. Then, Caleb came home from a business trip last week and said, "You know, whatever we're going to do next (meaning adopting or trying to conceive) we need to get on it." He, like most people, isn't thrilled with the idea of having kids in the house after hitting retirement age. I could care less about that but being I have Baby Fever, I'm going with it.
So, long story short, WE'RE ADOPTING!! Woohoo!
You might be asking yourself why we are adopting. We're adopting because we feel that God is calling us to it. In the Bible, God is very clear that it is important for us to care for the marginalized, specifically orphans. While everyone may not be called to actually adopt orphans, we believe it to be our calling. I have to admit, my heart is bursting with joy over this. It doesn't feel like a duty at all, it feels like a privilege. God is giving me the gift of another child! Plus, I am so excited to give the gift of a sibling to Luca and the gift of a family to an orphan. This is an all-around win in my book.
Now, there are a lot of things to consider when adopting… Domestic or International? Private or Public? Open or Closed? For us, the question of domestic or international was a non-issue. We believe that all children should be seen as God's children and that their country of origin should bear no weight on our decision. When I hear people say things like "We need to take care of our own first." I cringe. I think of "our own" more globally I guess. My "own" are other people, not exclusively American people. That's just how we see it.
A couple of years ago, God placed the needs of Chinese orphans on my heart. I can't really tell you exactly when China first came into my mind, I can only tell you that once it was in my heart, I just haven't been able to shake
it. Usually, when I can't shake something, it's a God thing. After much prayer and research, we have decided to pursue adopting a child with special needs from China. These children are a part of the "Waiting Children" program.
Before you think we're some kind of crazy wanna-be-Saint-type-people, I will assure you that we are nothing of the sort. In China, and many other parts of the world, a "special needs" scenario isn't always a huge undertaking. For example, some children are considered "special needs" just because they have a birth mark on their face or a missing finger. We are given a list of potential "special needs" to determine which ones we could meet.
I plan on writing another post to explain more about why we have come to the decision to adopt from China's Waiting Children program. You'll see I've added a new category titled "Adoption" up on the top of my site menu. I can't wait to share more!
Do you have any questions? Any adoption stories of your own? Encouragement? I'd love to hear it all!

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price excludes shipping costs, dealer assembly/prep, taxes or import duties.
A fork's sole purpose is to secure and steer the front wheel. But there's a whole lot of engineering involved in making sure your bike doesn't just steer, but steers "just right". Not too sluggish. Not too twitchy. And has sufficient lateral and torsional stiffness to hold a line at speed, under turning loads, while still being able to dampen road vibration for comfort and control.
One of the chief variables between forks is a measurement called "rake". Rake refers to the curvature or angle of the fork blades as measured from the center of the steer tube to the center of the dropouts. More rake for any given head tube angle will equate to faster steering, with less input required to make the bike turn. But steering characteristics are not determined by rake alone. It is "trail", a measurement calculated from wheel size, head angle AND fork rake, which tells us how fast a bike will actually steer. More trail yields slower steering, less trail produces faster steering.
One of our design goals for the Renegae, Endura and Ventura was to increase fork compliance for greater comfort and control, without changing its' already optimal steering characteristics, lateral stiffness or torsional rigidity. Torsional rigidity in a fork is crucial. A torsionally flexible fork will slow steering on descents and fast corners. There will be a noticeable lag between handlebar input and the bike's reaction.
We accomplished our goals with E.C.O. -- Enhanced Compliance Offset. The fork blades on Renegade, Endura and Ventura model's are swept forward a few millimeters to reduce the angle of the fork leg to the road, which increases vertical compliance for a more comfortable and controlled ride. A reinforcing rib on the inside of the fork legs assures both lateral and torsional stiffness. Most importantly, the "just right" handling traits remain unchanged, even with the more forward bent fork blades, because the ECO trailing dropout design negates the increase in fork rake, thereby retaining the original trail and optimal steering characteristics.
All our frames and forks are tested continually to meet or exceed (in some cases, well exceed) EN standards 14764, 14765, 14766 and 14781 as well as the new ISO 4210 standards. We conduct these tests at our frame manufacturing facilities, but we also use EN accredited testing laboratories such as Intertek and SGS to verify the results of our own tests. If these tests aren't telling us everything we want to know about our bikes, we increase the loads and cycles, or we determine another way to test. Where current hydraulic testing machines, jigs and hardware aren't up to the task of emulating some of the forces and impacts our bikes might be subject to, we've designed our own.
We relentlessly cycle test for fatigue from pedaling and torsional forces on every single frame size, with deflection tests for stiffness at every point of the frame. Brutal impact tests with massive weights dropped on fixed frames or forks are performed. Then reversed, with weights attached to the frame, the frame hoisted to a given height depending upon product type, then released.
This destructive testing is enormously instructive and important. And it is in continual process. But it's our ongoing non-destructive testing of frames and forks fresh off the factory floor that's just as vital.
For our carbon fiber frames, EVERY frame is weighed to make sure it's neither resin rich nor resin deficient. We also measure the stiffness of each frame in 6 critical areas as a check on lay-up production. Each deflection test must fall within 5% of the standards our machine and field-testing have established. This weighing and stiffness deflection testing guarantees every single frame we produce meets all Jamis manufacturing protocol and will
deliver the ride qualities we defined and demand.
Size Specific Design (SSD) is the Jamis design philosophy and technique used to create the best possible riding bike for each size rider. Rather than limiting frame size variations to just different length top, seat and head tubes lengths, we take an all-inclusive look at each frame's total configuration. We start by plotting stack and reach--the two most critical coordinates in bike fitting. Stack is the vertical line measurement from the BB center to the (real or imaginary) horizontal TT line. Reach is the horizontal line from head tube center to the vertical BB line. The two create an inverted "L" to then build outward from.
With SSD we offer four different BB drops and three rear centers (or rear triangles) in addition to the natural variety in tube lengths as bikes move from size-to-size. This approach to frame making helps create an effective custom "ride" for each size bike. For example, consider that crank arm lengths vary as bikes get taller or shorter, yet without changing the BB drop to accommodate this, a rider sits higher or lower. This can have a very real affect on a bike's ride characteristics and overall handling. The same rule applies to the rear center of the frame.
Just the right amount of fork offset and trail round out SSD's geometric equation. We have two different fork offsets for each model and with the tire versatility of the Renegades we have added a third to keep steering precise no matter the tire size choice.
Our Size Specific Tubing (SST) that we pioneered back in 1988 also plays a key role in our new SSD technology. By building with a variety of frame size specific main tubes and seatstays, SST helps contribute to a highly optimized ride and assures the lightest possible weight in each case.
Starting with a wide and consistent stack and reach range, we set out to design a frame that could handle on or off road conditions while maintaining a comfortable ride. As you start to review the geo chart you will noticed we have 3 different fork offsets, BB drops and rear center measurements. Add size specific tubing and 2 different sized rear triangles and you have what we feel is the perfect endurance geo for all sized riders. The reason for this is that we wanted the 48 and 61 to fit the rider correctly and make the geo changes needed to provide the perfect ride.
Size Specific Design (SSD) is the Jamis design philosophy and technique used to create the best possible riding bike for each size rider. Rather than limiting frame size variations to just different length top, seat and head tubes lengths, we take an all-inclusive look at each frame's total configuration. Every SSD frame will also feature size-specific BB drop, rear center, fork offset/trail and SST technology.
With endurance geometry designed to go anywhere the only choice was disc brakes. We even took it up a step with both the Renegade Elite and Expert coming with Hydraulic brakes. With hydraulic disc brakes you will have the most consistent and confidence-inspiring braking available. Just think about jamming down hill on a rutted out fire road with your hands all over the hoods…the power & modulation benefits of hydraulic disc brakes become readily apparent.
We should call them magic mounts. With a collection of fork and frame mounts you can easily choose to mount fenders or a rear carrier. This opens up options when the weather goes bad or can even turn Renegade into a commuter.
Tubeless and wider rims across the range provide great benefits on any terrain. The tubeless benefits are to help prevent flats with sealant as well as being able to adjust your tire pressure for the perfect ride. For example on dirt roads you may want to reduce the tire pressure to increase your contact patch for better grip without the worry of pinch flatting. The beauty of the wider rims effectively gives you a constant and wide tire surface yielding better handling, stability and confidence with plenty of surface grip for control.

Often referred to as the 'Wild West' of the Emirates Ras al Khaimah or RAK as it is commonly known is one of the seven emirates of which make up the United Arab Emirates. The others being Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Ajman. It is located at the northern coast of the Arabian Gulf with Ras Al Khaimah city functioning as the capital of the emirate of RAK. It has the majestic Hajjar Mountains to the East and the Arabian Gulf to the west. A creek called Khour Ras Al Khaimah divides the city.
Old Ras Al Khaimah is on the western side of the creek and comprises The Ras Al khaimah museum, government departments and educational institutions. The Eastern side is Al Nakheel; it houses the Emiri Court which is the office of the ruler, commercial establishments and residential areas of the city. The two section of the city are connected by a bridge and a network of freeways. H.H.Sheikh Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi has ruled the emirate since 1948. His son H.H. Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi was in 2003 declared Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler.
The emirate has a rich history which dates back to the Bronze Age. It was the cradle of the various Arab civilizations which can trace their history to the Ubaid period around 5000-3800 BC. RAK was previously known as Julfar. Today the district of Julfar houses the biggest pharmaceutical factory in the Gulf. RAK was an important epicenter for the global pearl trade until the 20th Century when the pearl trade lost its luster .The bulk of the trade was with China and India .The British who occupied the area for much of the 19th Century utilized Ras al Khaimah to control shipping routes to and fro from India.
The discovery of the Saleh Oil Fields in the 1980s gave the RAK the needed growth impetus and RAK like the neighboring emirate of Dubai is trying to position itself as an important player in the world trade. The Establishment of a Free Trade zone and an export sea port called Saqr port has further aided the rise of RAK. The development of massive infrastructure and tourism facilities has seen RAK become an important tourist and trade destination of the Gulf.
Getting to Ras al Khaiham
By Air
RAK International Airport
RAK International Airport is undergoing a modernization plan which is spread over 15 years. It serves 27 airlines from different parts of the world and it follows an open skies policy. Modern amenities and a wide array of duty free shops are available at the airport which functions round the clock with no restrictions on arrivals and departure times for air carriers.
Saqr Sea Port
Located in the industrial area of Khor Khuwair, the Saqr sea port is a container port and controls trade for the region. It is an important port for the UAE being the closest to Iran.
Road travel to and from other Emirates
RAK is linked to the other emirates and beyond by a modern network of highways. Taxis ply on these highways in addition to private cars and commercial vehicles. A taxi can be hailed from the taxi stand located south of Al Dhaid town near the new RAK police head quarters. The Taxi fare to Dubai from RAK ranges between 100-150 dhs. The 'Emirates Highway' is the one widely used by motorists and traveling on this highway gets one to Dubai from RAK in a mere 45 minutes.
The development of a $265 million space port for space tourism is on the anvil for RAK. This plan was revealed in February of 2006.
Travel within Ras Al Khaimah
By Taxi
Metered taxis are the main mode of transport for tourists. Prior to 2001, when metered taxis were first introduced, the fare was a function of negotiation between the passenger and driver. This is one of the developments which was undertaken to aid the promotion of tourism in the Emirates.
By Bus
Buses are not available for local transport but ply on long distance routes to other towns like Jazeera al Hamra etc.
Like the rest of the Middle East the weather in RAK is extremely hot and dry in the summer months from April to October with temperatures hovering around 40C (90F)during the day. During the so called winter months from November to March the day temperatures are approximately 26C (80F). RAK has a varied terrain composed of Mountains , plains, a 40 Km long coastline composed of white sand beaches and of course the desert. The emirate is trying to exploit the fused terrain is possesses and make its mark on the global tourism scene.
The main spoken languages are Arabic and English. RAK is home to 250,000 people who belong to 128 nationalities. People from the sub continent owing to the historic trade links with RAK make up a substantial part of the local population. RAK is a thoroughly modern emirate with many international schools, hospitals and various other amenities such as malls and resort hotels.
Al Hamra Fort Hotel
RAK's pride and joy is the Al Hamra luxury hotel built on an 'Arabian night' theme. It is built on a gorgeous beach and is surrounded by a natural lagoon. A romantic ambience infuses the hotel which is built like a fort and has 83 rooms as well as 168 villa rooms constructed in the style of an Arabic Village. The rooms have all the amenities required of a modern luxury hotel. Information about rates and availability can be accessed online at www.alhamrafort.com
Hilton Hotel
Part of the world wide Hilton chain of hotels the Hilton Hotel has 214 rooms. The rooms have the distinctive ambience of the region. The hotel has many bars and restaurants within its folds and affords easy accessibility to the malls, souks and the golf course. The chain has another beach front property on a beautiful bay and a private beach. The RAK Hilton Beach Club offers its guests a wide array of water sports such as windsurfing, kayaking etc.
Khatt Springs Hotel and Spa
The Hotel is located at the base of the Mountains which contain the medicinal and curative waters of the Khatt Springs. The Spa hotel has a tranquil setting and conveys the ambience of well being with a Middle Eastern Feel.
Ras Al Khaimah hotel
Located in the heart of the city, the hotel is a convenient location for the golf enthusiast as well as the beach lover as the famous Tower links Golf Club is within walking distance while the beach is just a short drive away. www.rak-hotel.co.ae is the hotels website which can be accessed for further information.
Bin Majid Beach Hotel and Bin Majid Beach Resort
Both hotels are located on private white sand and azure sea private beaches. They both offer a splendid variety of aquatic recreational facilities as well as many bars and restaurants.
Activities and Sights of the Emirate
The varied and diverse terrain of Ras Al Khaim with mountains, beaches, desert and plains as well as archeological sites offers a tourist a wide array of activities.
Ras Al Khaimah with its mountainous terrain of the Hajjar Mountains and their visually stunning landscape is paradise for hiking enthusiasts. The Emirate is trying to develop tourism but this is being undertaken in a responsible manner with respect for the environment. These tours and hikes follow a 'Green' theme with camps that use solar energy and encourage the recycling of wastes. Musandam Pearl Route is one such hiking tour which traverses a rocky terrain while adventure seekers investigate the ancient pearl trail. Walk in the Clouds is yet another expedition in the Hajjar Mountains, while Lost Villages is a trekking expedition to Wadi Bih conducted along a scenic route in isolated peaceful natural beauty enhanced environs. Information about these treks can be got online at www.mountain-extreme.com
Mountain Trips in a 4×4
For those who don't like to trek the mountains can be explored with the aid of a guided tour in a four wheel drive .These half a day trips traverse through Wadis and isolated villages of the mountains whose inhabitants live in seclusion. A highlight of the trip is the view of the sunset in the mountains.
Desert Safari in a 4×4
Like its neighboring Emirates, RAK offers a trip to the sand dunes in a four wheel drive. A drive in the dunes can be extremely exciting and can be combined with a visit to a Camel Farm. The desert safari gives one a chance to observe the lives of the Bedouin people. The Bedouins are a nomadic tribe who live in the desert. These Bedouins work at the various Camel Farms where racing camels are bred for a sporting tradition that has been handed down from generations. RAK has an excellent 10 km camel racing track.
Dhow cruises in Musandam
These cruises traverse coastal villages and afford opportunities for swimming and snorkeling amongst the languid dolphin inhabited waters.
Ostrich Farm
The road leading to the RAK airport leads one to the Ostrich Farm where these gigantic birds are bred.
Date Farm
A trip to a Date Farm should also be a part of a tourist itinerary to see how the fruits of the region are cultivated and processed for export.
Khatt Springs
These Therapeutic Spring waters attract many tourists to the region. They are in the mountains of RAK and are composed of three natural springs which have hot (almost 40C) waters which are thought to have medicinal value. Palm trees encircle the area and enhance the natural beauty of the springs. The area is also famous for a large number of archeological sites which bear witness to the old civilizations which inhabited the region.
National RAK Museum
Located near the old police station in the heart of the city the National Museum must be visited to see the exhibits that portray the illustrious history of Ras al Khaimah.The Museum was constructed in 1987 and is located at Al Husen Fort which was the residence of the Sheikh during the 19th century. Old Manuscripts including treaties signed by the ruling family with the British are on display in the museum. Antiques and Islamic objets d'art are displayed as well. Some of these date back to 5th millennium BC. The Museum has different winter and summer times as well as a different schedule during Ramadan which is the Muslim holy month of fasting. Information about the schedule of the RAK museum can be obtained online at www.rakmuseum.gov.ae .
Julfar was the prominent trading center of RAK in the ages past. It was the center of manufacturing of pottery and ceramics as well. This trade continues until today and ceramics from Julfar are exported to 135 countries. The Souks and Bazaars of RAK are typical of the region and contain many Arabic delights and wonders. Apart from these traditional bazaars there are world class malls which retail designer and western wear and electronics. Some of the malls in RAK are Waha Shopping center, Lulu Shopping Center and Al Manar Mall. The latter is spread over 45000 square meters and offers a fantastic mall experience with stores, food courts, a Cineplex and an atrium for art and other exhibits.
Tourism Promotion
RAK has undertaken many steps to develop tourism further. Along with the up gradation of the airport, an Al Hamra village is under construction with residential villas, four luxurious hotel resorts and an 18 hole golf course in addition to the Tower Links Golf Club. The Khor Qurm project is yet another tourism initiative along the coast. This project will highlight the natural wonders of RAK's coastal region including its vibrant marine life. Yet another ambitious project due to be completed over the next 8 to 10 years is the construction of a self sufficient multi million dollar Desert Snow village which will have its own monorail system and a 20 room ice hotel as well as residential units. These future developments promise to make Ras Al Khaimah a true tourist oasis in the desert.

I got a job!
Not only did I get a job, I got a good job!
After Aaron lost his job back in August I started looking for work, the plan had always been for me to do something (had no idea what, I was looking for a flash of inspiration!) but once Leo was in nursery, and we had to wait until we had the cash available to send him - catch 22 I believe!
As we were both out of work I was now looking for anything at all, but it's very hard. It is the end of the season so many people are now out of work for the winter so the wrong time of year for job hunting. I've not worked here in Cyprus so far and I don't speak enough of the language so far to even hold a conversation let alone use it in work.
I've always heard the phrase 'its not what you know, it's who you know' and that is so true here in Cyprus, yet again word of mouth has helped us out, and I'm now working for Century 21 Cyprus as a property consultant. It's part time, from home and I can pretty much set my own hours - perfect!
I've also been over to Michelle's blog - Mummy From the Heart to read her #R2BC post and discovered that she has included me in her list of bloggers which make her cheerful...... *does happy dance around the room*

Where Do They Come Up With This Stuff?
As I mentioned previously, I am not going to get up at 7 AM to listen to Bermas' radio show (despite his repeated appeals for callers), but I did get around to downloading an MP3 of his January 13th show from GCN, and unfortunately the quality of his thought process did not improve with the switch of radio networks.
First of all it is apparent that he is getting bored of talking about 9/11, since he managed to bring in just about every conspiracy theory out there. Bermas (Avery joined him) seemed to talk about the imminent New World Order take over, NAFTA, and the mythical North American Union more than 9/11. Once again his theme is that the NWO is going to devalue the dollar and replace with with the "Amero", for a yet unexplained purpose. Considering that Avery managed to flunk high school economics, and Bermas' claim to fame seems to be working the night shift at Pizza Hut, I am not sure how much credit I should give them on their analysis of currency policy…
Anyway, they did get around to discussing 9/11 in this bizarre exchange which started by discussing the recent Able Danger reports, where it was revealed that Mohammed Atta was not identified before 9/11.
Bermas: We already know Atta was trained in a Montgomery Alabama Air Force Base. I mean, that is not debatable, Maxwell. We know that some of the other hijackers were trained in Montgomery [sic] California. In fact we had the Vice Chancellor of the Defense Language School [sic] go public, Steven Butler and say that he personally knew and was in contact with one of the supposed hijackers and had trained others. And these are mainstream reports, and in fact I believe Steve Butler went as far as to say that Bush knew about the attacks and did nothing to stop them on purpose. Correct Dylan?
Avery: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
I don't think "not debatable" means what he thinks it does. This entire "Mohammed Atta training with the military" story goes back to a single story by the Gannett News Service on September 21, 2001 which reads as follows:
A Pentagon spokesman, Col. Ken McClellan, said a man named Mohamed Atta had once attended the International Officer's School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala.
But Atta is a fairly common surname in the Middle East and the suspected hijacker's first name is "probably the No. 1 name that is given to babies, in honor of the prophet Mohamed," said Alquatami.
Popular names
Other last names attached to the hijackers -- Alghamdi, Alomari, Al-Midhar, Alhamzi and Alshehri -- are also very popular.
This is their idea of "not debatable"? A single statement that someone with an extremely common name had attended a school at some time, and not a single piece of collaborating evidence in the subsequent 5 years. Wow, what cutting edge investigative reporting. It should also be pointed out that Mohammed Atta has turned up in more locations that Elvis.
As far as the hilariously bad Vice Chancellor at the "Defense Language School" in "Montgomery, California", here is the true story:
An officer in the United States Air Force has been relieved of his current duties for writing a letter to a local newspaper describing President George W Bush as a "joke".He did not say that he trained the hijackers, he just wrote a letter to the editor saying that Bush knew about the attacks.
Lieutenant Colonel Steve Butler said the president knew about the 11 September attacks on America and did nothing to warn the American people.
His suspension comes under a law dating back to the American War of Independence which forbids insults directed by military officers against the president or other political leaders.
Colonel Butler was serving as vice chancellor for student affairs at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, when he wrote the letter, published in the Monterey County Herald.
This whole "hijacker training at DLI" myth, ironically, goes back to the same Gannett News Service report.
Also, a man having the same name as one of the suspected hijackers on the plane that crashed in western Pennsylvania, Saeed Alghamdi, attended California's Defense Language Institute in Presidio of Monterey, Calif.Once again, not a single other piece of corroborating evidence in 5 years. The thing that always cracks me up is, what would a potential hijacker be doing studying at DLI anyway, working on his Korean?
Geez, Bermas has been "researching" this stuff for 5 years, and he can't even get the most basic facts right. Are we really to believe that in Loose Change v 4.0, they will finally get their story straight?

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
I love how books smell. Old books in particular but new books, too. Sometimes it's almost like vanilla (and check out this AWESOME infographic that an anonymous British chemistry teacher created) and sometimes it's just ink on warm paper.
Every book smells unique, of course, but I have long loved the Demeter Paperback fragrance for capturing the general impression of the scent.
That smell is both soothing and a little touch of memento mori -- after all, the scent is caused by compounds breaking down, by the long and slow decay of paper and ink and adhesive, the ingredients of physical books.
As long as there are places like the Whately Antiquarian Book Center (which Lesley and I were fortunate enough to visit back a few months back), I do not think we will be faced with any shortage of amazing book smells. So I don't feel bad about also doing a lot of reading on my various electronic devices.
This month, while I've missed the sense of a paperback in my hand, I've been doing a lot of reading on my phone, by virtue of the Kindle app. What have I been reading? I am so glad you metaphorically asked.
1. "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster
If I had to pick just one book to be my all-time favorite book, I think this is the book that I would wind up choosing. Basically, that's an agony of a choice right there, but I reread this book often and always come away with something that I needed.
I reread this last month and then, because I needed something comfortable one day when I was sad, I reread it again last week. The book is literal and literate, full of puns and ridiculousness. "The Doldrums" crack me up even when I am at the height of my gothiest gloom.
2. "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch
I picked this up because a family member who was visiting recommended it -- and I really enjoyed it. As far as genre goes, I think it's classed under fantasy. The world building is very solid and the magic system is dependent on language -- words have real power.
(Don't all writers love that idea though?)
This isn't a new book but there's no reason not to grab it and enjoy it anyway. I can't keep up with new releases, y'all. ANYWAY. It's about a thief and his efforts to resist a shadowy figure taking over the criminal underworld.
My only complaint? There aren't really any women who are integral to the story. That's a fairly common failing in fantasy (damsels in distress don't actually count, sorry), but I'm willing to roll my eyes and deal with it for this book. There are other books in the series, so we'll see if my patience holds out or if some women pop up.
3. "Stories About Stories: Fantasy and the Remaking of Myth" by Brian Attebery
I'm not actually done with this one but cut me a little slack -- we're only two weeks into the month!
This is nonfiction -- to borrow an especially apt phrase from one of the blurbs, it's an archaeology of fantasy and myth. It's a little academic-y but it has been a completely enjoyable read thus far. The history of fantasy is pretty epic (heh, get it? epic?) and I'm feeling really into the exploration of theory behind the genre as well.
My weekend plans involve a thorough rearranging of my studio -- if I can find a place to put the bottlejack press I built with Ed (and the 8-foot squid). I'm also pretty dedicated to curling up under my most recent quilt so I can read for a while.
What are you reading? What are your weekend plans?
And, as always, welcome to the weekend!

Pentax has introduced a new portable scanner that seems to be available only in the US at the moment.
The DSmobile 600 is a slim and compact 600dpi colour scanner that promises to provide greater speeds than previous mobile scanners.
It measures only 1.5-inch in height, 11-inches in length, and weights only 12oz. It can handle media as small as business cards, and connects via USB2.0. Separate power cables are not necessary, as it derives power from the PC or Mac.
Touching one button on the Dsmobile 600 will launch a choice of scanning software, including DSmobileSCAN to save direct to PDF, and PageManager Version 7.
It scans pages via a sheet-feeder, and comes with software designed for use with Windows XP, 200, ME, and 98SE. The company promises drivers for Mac OSX will follow, but doesn't mention compatibility with Windows Vista.
The DSmobile 600 Scanner is available now for $135.

It's the most wonderful time of the year for Pennsylvania hunters as they gear up for opening day of deer season.
Black Friday came two days late at Bass Pro Shops in Swatara Township as people stocked up on last-minute hunting gear.
Jeff Winchester of Harrisburg stopped by to pick up hunting licenses for he and his son. They'll head out to Wellsville to hunt at the crack of dawn Monday.
"Have a little breakfast, get all our gear ready. Then we walk down in the dark to our woods, climb in our stand and pretty much just sit and wait until we see a buck come through," he said.
Hunters in parts of York and Adams counties will see some new restrictions after Chronic Wasting Disease was found in two captive deer near New Oxford. State officials are asking hunters in a 600 square mile disease management area to take their deer to check stations to be tested.
Some hunters said news of the disease has them airing on the side of caution.
"Well, I'm not going to eat any deer meat, that's for sure," said hunter Bill Hall.
Others said they're not too concerned."I don't think that's a problem. I mean it will be a problem if they're not careful, but I don't think it's a problem now," said shopper Howard Kauffman.

The timing couldn't be much better and, subsequently, FHA loans are back as an unbelievably viable loan choice.
If you have 20% equity, a standard loan is going to be the ideal option the bulk of the time. FHA loans will consistently be authorized even for people who have had credit issues, whereas standard loans will be a lot more complicated to obtain. Normally all conventional loans demand a good credit ratio. It is a great alternative for people with excellent credit.
Bridge loans are connected to your very own first family, the one you wish to sell, so you can move and utilize your previous property as security to accomplish a loan in your present-day house. There are several FHA property loans that provide benefits for both refinancing and buying a home. A FHA mortgage does not need as a lot of down payment as a standard loan would.
Whether you're a, have less than excellent credit or just desire to purchase a home requiring rehab, there's a FHA loan that is offered to you. FHA house loans may be utilized to buy a main home or refinance an existent house loan.
A bridge loan assists those who require to transfer, and must purchase a home before they've offered their final home. Each time a traditional loan is an alternative, the list below step is the pursuit of the home which will value.
To begin with, one needs to know what FHA represents. Standard and FHA loans are relatively comparable in a few of their functions. FHA is not funding, it's a type of insurance!
FHA loans are really becoming more popular compared to the standard mortgage. FHA loans have a tendency to be more well-known over conventional loans for simply 2 major reasons.
For people that have really poor credit scores, the FHA mortgage monetary loan is really a blessing given that it is the Federal Housing Administration that secures the financial loan. Overall, a FHA loan works out to a far exceptional customer's thing when compared to a standard loan.
Smaller sized loans that are mainly repaid over Dallas FHA Loan Pros , are efficiently less rewarding for the financing company, so a greater rate of interest is typically charged. The greater interest rate is the method the loan provider can justify the danger of the 2nd loan.
A certified FHA consultant will definitely be needed in in reinforcement to the licensed professional if a complete 203K loan is required. FHA appraisal is, in addition, not really different from a typical appraisal you would have to go finished with a conventional loan provider, but here the appraiser which will appraise your home will have to be FHA authorized to go you an appraisal done. FHA is the sole approach for numerous prospective buyers to get a home loan.
Unlike a conventional financial loan, the FHA requires specific property condition standards, and a termite report and clearance, so regarding be eligible for a loan. FHA loans have very limiting standards. They require a great deal of extra documentation. Basically, a FHA loan allows a purchaser to offer a little deposit upon getting a home.
Whether you're a really first time house buyer, or don't have loads of money to put down, the FHA loan could be an excellent choice for you. Quite merely, for people that may not otherwise have the ability to buy a home with a standard loan, a FHA loan is an outstanding alternative.

text: General Motors to shift Net auctions from FreeMarkets to GM TradeXchange Published on January 04, 2000. Detroit--General Motors Corp., the world's biggest automaker, will pull all of its business-to-business auctions from Pittsburgh-based FreeMarkets and shift its business to GM TradeXchange. GM TradeXchange, a joint venture between General Motors and FreeMarkets' archrival, Walnut Creek, Calif.-based Commerce One, held its first b-to-b Net auction on Dec. 20. Though FreeMarkets' stock was getting hammered when the news broke, it appeared that the announcement did not dampen Wall Street's long-term enthusiasm for the company; New York-based Wit Capital on Tuesday initiated a "buy" rating on FreeMarkets.

Last week I had a makeup play date with my new favorite Mary Kay Consultant, Curtrice. I can't believe how much fun I had testing, trying and playing with the new colors and the Mary Kay at Play line. It's funny because I was not a huge Mary Kay fan because the brand did not appeal to me. I tried it years ago and it was just…blah and it never occurred to me to try it again until I met a consultant by the name of Curtrice.
During our makeup play date, she showed me the new colors, trends and the at play line. The colors are vibrant, fresh and exciting. The application was smooth, the eye shadows did not crease and the staying power was long lasting!!! I enjoyed the products so much that I purchased a few 🙂
My favorite product so far has to be the Lash Love Mascara in Plum. It offers a different option to the normal black or brown colors. It helps my brown eyes sparkle just a little bit more and it extends the length just a little bit more.
I also have a fondness for the Mary Kay at Play Eye Crayon in Purple Smoke. It's a multifunctional product and we all know how much I love products that have 2 or more functions…LOL. You can use this as a liner or smudge it into a shadow. The color is very soft purple with a hint of silver/gray smoke. It glides on very easy and has great staying power. I liked it so much that I purchased 2 of them.
I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with my Mary Kay products. I also purchased some skincare but I have not had a chance to try it out. But, when I do…a review will be following!!! LOL. This just goes to show that even if a brand does not appeal to you or if you don't like a few products…it doesn't mean the whole brand is not worth a try. If it were not for Curtrice, I don't think that I would have tried the products again. Thank you Curtrice for all of your help and excellent customer service!!!

We are Mark and Lisa Hammerton and live in Staplehurst, Kent. We have been lucky enough to spend many holidays in Barbados over the years and were even married there.
Mark & Lisa Hammerton purchased this apartment in 2013
We bought Ocean View in 2013 after a long search and feel privileged to be able to call it our second home. The apartment is one of a very small number in the Beacon Hill community at Mullins Bay. When we first took a look around it felt 'absolutely right': it is in a truly splendid setting which is very well maintained and the apartment itself is extremely well finished and equipped. The most important reason for choosing Ocean View though: Location, Location, Location.
For us, Ocean View is the perfect base to enjoy wonderful, relaxing holidays on the west coast of Barbados. It is extremely comfortable, has splendid sea views, a lovely pool and is within steps of a super beach. We only wish we could spend more time there ourselves!
We stayed in the apartment for 2 weeks over Christmas 2017. The apartment is one of the best we've stayed in with many many great little touches from appliances in the kitchen, all the mod cons, to the artwork on the walls. You cross one road, literally 20 seconds from the apartment and you are on the picture postcard Mullins beach. We frequented Mullins Beach Bar way too much, drinking copious amounts of Mojitos and rum!. The balcony is a perfect way to relax while taking in the sun.
The owners were really helpful, giving many good tips and as this is the first (but not the last) time in Barbados we appreciated the help. We would definitely stay again and again.
We've had an amazing couple of weeks in Barbados. The apartment is beautifully decorated and furnished with lovely fluffy towels! Very well equipped kitchen and entertainment system and a totally amazing terrace on which we enjoyed breakfast every morning. The owners were very helpful before arrival, arranging collection from the airport and a hire car on our behalf. Also sending a really useful information pack before we arrived. The property manager Ann and housekeeper Kathy were exceptionally friendly and very helpful. The apartment was kept immaculate by Kathy visiting every other day, I even caught her doing our washing one day!! The location of the apartment in our view was perfect, we visited lots of areas and whilst we found some other stunning beaches, the closeness to Mullins Beach and Beach Bar was fabulous. We love the West Coast, so perfect for us. Our favourite restaurant, which is a must to visit, is Bombas, just a short walk north of Mullins Beach. Really can't recommend this place enough....will recommend to all our friends (so long as they don't want to come and stay the same time as us!!). Thanks Mark and Lisa, we'll be back! :)
We have just come back from Ocean View and I have to say, we were blown away.
Prior to going, I had so much help from Lisa and Mark, the owners, to make sure we knew about Barbados, the local area and the facilities at Ocean View. They sent a handy welcome pack, 6 weeks before, that had so much information on things to do, which was a fab kick start to us planning our trip. They also organised for us to be collected from the airport and for any groceries we wanted at the apartment, to be there.
We knew, from the pictures the apartment would be lovely and the area looked great, but we were still completely stunned by how lovely Ocean View was. it is stunning and all the furniture and decor is so beautiful and really high end. It certainly had the WOW factor. But it just kept getting better and better, as we lived there, as anything we could have needed or wanted was there. There is nothing this place does not have.
Once you have taken in the apartment, you then walk out on to the balcony, which just has such a lovely view of the beach and is such a comfortable place to relax during the day. It is also a stunning location to dine out on, in the evening, as it is beautifully lit and looks so pretty.
While we were there, we were so well looked after by Ann and Kathy and there is nothing that wouldn't help you with or advise you on. It was so lovely to have them popping in to look after us, and keep the property immaculate.
The apartment is just opposite the beautiful Mullins Beach. We were so close by that we used to get up, and run down to the beach, before anyone else was down there. It was so lovely to be able to swim, with nobody else around, before we headed back up for breakfast.
I could go on and on about the beauty of Ocean View and the Mullins Beach area, but don't let me spoil the surprise for you. Make the trip and see for yourself. It will be one of those holidays you will never forget.
We have just returned from a perfect holiday at Ocean View, Mullins. Having stayed in Mullins before, we knew that it is our favourite area in Barbados. This apartment was the best we have stayed in: The apartment itself is spacious and airy, very well equipped so we were able to dine in in comfort, we especially enjoyed evening meals and breakfasts on the balcony with the sound of the sea in the background. It is such a treat to have the beautiful Mullins beach across the road and in addition, the pool area was quiet and most of the time we had it to ourselves. All correspondence with the owner has been prompt and efficient, and when in Barbados, the manager Ann welcomed us and the house-keeper Kathy looked after us really well and was happy to work around our schedule. Thank you Lisa and Mark, we cannot wait to return!
Extremely well equipped apartment - staff excellent. Well positioned for Mullins Beach just steps across the road. Gardens well maintained and lovely pool area. Would stay again. Lots of activities within Barbados - car isn't a necessity but would recommend for ease of travel. Several local restaurants including Bombas and Sea Cat are well worth a visit.
We visit Barbados every year, always staying somewhere on the west coast. We had a wonderful 3 weeks here over Christmas with our 18 year old daughter. The apartment has absolutely everything you need from Netflix TV and comfy sofas in lounge to cool box, ice maker and quality coffee machine in kitchen. The apartment is just set back from the main west coast road, so there is a little traffic noise on the balcony. However you soon get used to it and it disappears when balcony doors closed. You can pick up a local bus just outside - just 70p wherever you want to go. Alternatively, like us, hire a car for at least part of your holiday visiting the Rum factory, Harrison's Caves and North point . The Round House or The Atlantis on East coast great places for lunch. We had a power cut one night ( common here) but the White Company scented candles provided created a very romantic atmosphere. We enjoyed all of the premier restaurants along this coastline but the best night by far was Simon Cowell's charity auction, which we attend every year. Apartment very clean, light and airy and property manager always on hand to offer help and advice if needed.
The nearby beach is ideal for everyone. The gently shelving fine sand and warm waters make it perfect for young children while teenagers can take to a jet ski or enjoy other water sports from the beach. Royal Westmoreland use this beach for their beach club with attended service to some sun beds. For everyone else, there are plenty of beds and parasols to rent by the day with drinks and ice creams sold from a little kiosk on the beach.
The beach is perfect for a morning stroll before breakfast. Depending on the tide it is a lovely walk around to Gibbs Bay with the palm-fringed sands and turquoise waters looking at their best in the early morning light. To reach the beach from Ocean View, follow the short path through the gardens to the keypad entry/exit gate. The beach is then just across the road.
For a change, try the beach at Alleynes Bay slightly to the south and near to the Fairmont Royal Pavilion hotel and the Lone Star restaurant. Access is down a path next to Ju-Ju's bar with beds available to hire. Catamarans often moor here as it's a great place to go swimming with the local turtles.
Mullins Bay is in the parish of St. Peter, just to the north of St. James. The main town in St. Peter is Speightstown (pron. spyts-town) which is the second largest town in Barbados. This is a very historical place and was once the busiest port on the island.
Today, it has taken on a more relaxed feel and is very pleasant to wander around with a choice of bars and restaurants, a bank and a Jordan's supermarket. Speightstown is home to St. Peter's Parish Church, which is one of the oldest in Barbados having been built in the 1630's.
To the north of Speightstown is Port St. Charles, an impressive development of town houses and apartments around a central marina. To the east, lies St. Nicholas Abbey, built in 1650 and apparently one of only three remaining Jacobean properties in the western hemisphere. The house is surrounded by 225 acres of sugar cane fields and is open to the public on special occasions.
Holetown was the first settlement in Barbados and the main town in St. James, just to the south and 10 minutes' drive from Ocean View. As well as the new Limegrove shopping complex featuring luxury brands, Holetown offers a very good supermarket, a branch of Cave Shepherd (department store) and a number of individual gift shops in the colourful Chattel Village.
You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to bars and restaurants nearby. We list below some of our favourites:
Bombas: Just across the road and right on the sea with wonderful views and a laid-back feel. Plenty of full-on flavours from Wayne and his team.
Ju-Ju's Bar: On Alleynes Bay, just to the south. Wonderfully informal and a great spot to drink a rum punch as the sun sets. Try the flying fish!
The Tides: In Holetown and one of our favourites. Super food and wonderful service.
Cin Cin: In Prospect, south of Holetown. Elegant, modern restaurant in a great location overlooking the sea.
The Cliff: Say no more... Costly but a great all-round experience.
Cricket is the national sport of Barbados and the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown often plays host to many international matches.
Golf can be enjoyed at a range of excellent courses on the island. Sandy Lane alone has three courses but Royal Westmoreland, Apes Hill and the Barbados Golf Club also offer challenging courses.
Polo is a very popular sport in Barbados and is played by international teams in front of significant crowds of locals and tourists. There are four polo fields at Holders, Lion Castle, Clifton and Apes Hill.
Fishing is as much a way of life as a sport for many Barbadians. There are many deep sea fishing charters available with a chance to catch Barracuda, Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado and Blue and White Marlin.
