high school physics teasher forces NIST to accept freefall
NIST has now officially accepted that WTC7 came down with the acceleration of gravity, but they still couch it as a phase in a 5.4 second interval they claim matches the 5.4 seconds required for their model to collapse 18 floors. The starting point of their 5.4 second interval is totally arbitrary. This new video highlights the August 26 technical briefing and allows Sunder and Gross to shoot holes in their own feet. Part II, which is planned to come out in a week or two, will go into detail about the implications of freefall. A list of bullet points has been compiled on that topic already, but if anyone has a special take on it that they would like to feed into the mix, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
high school physics teacher named David Chandler objected to NIST's initial claim, pointing out that, based on video footage of Building 7's destruction, NIST's claim contradicted "a publicly visible, easily measurable quantity."[iii] Mr. Chandler wrote a comment to NIST, saying, "Acknowledgement of and accounting for an extended period of free fall in the collapse of WTC 7 must be a priority if NIST is to be taken seriously."[iv]
Responding to the criticism, NIST in its final report issued in November 2008 did finally acknowledge that Building 7 descended at free fall.
When Underwriters Laboratories fired me for challenging the World Trade Center (WTC) report that it helped create with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it said "there is no evidence" that any firm performed the required fire resistance testing of the materials used to build the Twin Towers. Of course, that was a lie.
With this experience in mind, I checked to see how many times the 9/11 Commission Report used the phrase "no evidence," and noted in particular the times the Commission claimed to have "found no evidence" or that "no evidence was uncovered." I discovered that the phrase "no evidence" appears an amazing 63 times. An example is the dubious statement — "There is no evidence to indicate that the FAA recognized Flight 77 as a hijacking until it crashed into the Pentagon (p 455)."
Of these 63 instances, some variation of "we found no evidence" appears three dozen times. This seems to be an unusually high number of disclaimers begging ignorance, given that the Commission claims to have done "exacting research" in the production of a report that was the "fullest possible accounting of the events of September 11, 2001."
9/11 - the big cover-up?Even the chair of the 9/11 Commission now admits that the official evidence they were given was 'far from the truth'.
Six years after 9/11, the American public have still not been provided with a full and truthful account of the single greatest terror attack in US history.
What they got was a turkey. The 9/11 Commission was hamstrung by official obstruction. It never managed to ascertain the whole truth of what happened on September 11 2001.
The chair and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, respectively Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, assert in their book, Without Precedent, that they were "set up to fail" and were starved of funds to do a proper investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority; and that this obstruction and deception led them to contemplate slapping officials with criminal charges.
Despite the many public statements by 9/11 commissioners and staff members acknowledging they were repeatedly lied to, not a single person has ever been charged, tried, or even reprimanded, for lying to the 9/11 Commission.

Perhaps If you are troubled that others perception of you is negative then perhaps you should reconsider your online behavior and debate etiquette?

instead of obfuscate maybe you should have looked the word reference

In reality, ad hominem is unrelated to sarcasm or personal abuse. Argumentum ad hominem is the logical fallacy of attempting to undermine a speaker's argument by attacking the speaker instead of addressing the argument. The mere presence of a personal attack does not indicate ad hominem: the attack must be used for the purpose of undermining the argument, or otherwise the logical fallacy isn't there. It is not a logical fallacy to attack someone; the fallacy comes from assuming that a personal attack is also necessarily an attack on that person's arguments.
Therefore, if you can't demonstrate that your opponent is trying to counter your argument by attacking you, you can't demonstrate that he is resorting to ad hominem. If your opponent's sarcasm is not an attempt to counter your argument, but merely an attempt to insult you (or amuse the bystanders), then it is not part of an ad hominem argument.
Actual instances of argumentum ad hominem are relatively rare. Ironically, the fallacy is most often committed by those who accuse their opponents of ad hominem, since they try to dismiss the opposition not by engaging with their arguments, but by claiming that they resort to personal attacks. Those who are quick to squeal "ad hominem" are often guilty of several other logical fallacies, including one of the worst of all: the fallacious belief that introducing an impressive-sounding Latin term somehow gives one the decisive edge in an argument.

Arguably, it could be said that Rob Balsamo and co. also are trying to help. They are trying to help themselves to your pocketbook....

I thought for sure you would mention the lack of interception capabilities since they were there and were capable of doing just that.
Which "interception capabilities" are you referring to specifically?
There is a lot of laymen misconception about the posture and capabilities of the North American Aerospace Defense Command in 2001.
Remember that the cold war and the associated funding had been gone for a decade. In truth the need to fund an hairtrigger continental anti aircraft defense began to diminish the day the U.S.S.R. successfully demonstrated a true ICBM by launching Sputnik in 1957.
The infrastructure simply didn't exist for the military to respond any faster or more efficiently.
The Prevention of Interceptions of the Commandeered Planes
It is standard operating procedure (SOP) to scramble jet fighters whenever a jetliner goes off course or radio contact with it is lost. Between September 2000 and June 2001, interceptors were scrambled 67 times. 1 In the year 2000 jets were scrambled 129 times. 2
There are several elements involved in domestic air defense. The air traffic control system continuously monitors air traffic and notifies NORAD of any deviations of any aircraft from their flight-paths or loss of radio contact. NORAD monitors air and space traffic continuously and is prepared to react immediately to threats and emergencies. It has the authority to order units from the Air National Guard, the Air Force, or other armed services to scramble fighters in pursuit of jetliners in trouble.
Routine interception procedures were not followed on September 11th, 2001.
Layered Failures
The air defense network had, on September 11th, predictable and effective procedures for dealing with just such an attack. Yet it failed to respond in a timely manner until after the attack was over, more than an hour and a half after it had started. The official timeline describes a series of events and mode of response in which the delays are spread out into a number of areas. There are failures upon failures, in what might be described as a strategy of layered failures, or failure in depth. The failures can be divided into four types.
Failures to report: Based on the official timeline, the FAA response times for reporting the deviating aircraft were many times longer than the prescribed times.
Failures to scramble: NORAD, once notified of the off-course aircraft, failed to scramble jets from the nearest bases.
Failures to intercept: Once airborne, interceptors failed to reach their targets because they flew at small fractions of their top speeds and/or in the wrong directions.
Failures to redeploy: Fighters that were airborne and within interception range of the deviating aircraft were not redeployed to pursue them.
Had not there been multiple failures of each type, one or more parts of the attack could have been thwarted. NORAD had time to protect the World Trade Center even given the unbelievably late time, 8:40, when it claims to have first been notified. It had time to protect the South Tower and Washington even given its bizarre choice of bases from which to scramble planes. And it still had ample opportunity to protect both New York City and Washington even if it insisted that all interceptors fly subsonic, simply by redeploying airborne fighters.

If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding everything?
Why are they hiding audiotapes of FAA and NORAD controllers? Why are they hiding videotapes of whatever hit the Pentagon? Why are they hiding the black boxes? Why did they destroy most of the forensic evidence which appears to show that three buildings at the World Trade Center were brought down by thermite demolition charges? If the thermite residue found on severed steel beams didn't bring down the towers, what did? (Never before in history did steel skyscrapers fall because of fire, and THREE of them did on the same day … one of which wasn't even hit by an airplane!) For the government's story to be accepted as factual, they will have to explain why WTC 7 came down. Why did four hijacked airliners fly around for up to an hour and 45 minutes without being intercepted? Why were normal procedures not followed? (If normal procedures HAD been followed, the aircraft would have been intercepted with 20 minutes to spare, the twin towers would still be standing, and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive.) If it was massive incompetence, why has no one been fired? … or demoted? … or court martialed? (Instead they were promoted or given the medal of freedom!) If Osama bin Laden was really suspected, why did our government violate its own "no-fly" order to hurriedly fly the bin Laden family out of the United States before they could be questioned? Why does the "Osama bin Laden" in the "confession" videotape have a nose about an inch shorter than the real Osama bin Laden? Why have half a dozen of the 19 "hijackers" turned up in other countries … alive and well? Were there really any hijackers at all, and if there were, were they patsies? Who made millions on short sales of United and American Airlines? Where is the tens of billions of dollars worth of missing gold that was stored in the World Trade Center? Why did the Secret Service not whisk the president away from the school where he and the students read about a pet goat even after it became clear that the nation was under attack?
The American people and the families of those who died on 9/11 deserve the truth, and we do not yet have it. The above are but a tiny fraction of the unanswered questions not even raised by those who "investigated" the 9/11 tragedy. The most unbelievable of all the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 is the OFFICIAL conspiracy theory told us by our government. The Kean-Hamilton-Zelikow commission report was a whitewash, a cover-up, and a bundle of deception. I have spoken to both Governor Kean and Congressman Hamilton, and they admit that they were lied to about why there was no intercept. If a new investigation discovers a wider conspiracy and identifies living people (American or foreign) as being responsible, they should be indicted for treason. And those who covered up the treason should themselves be indicted as accessories after the fact.
If, however, a new investigation finds that the government's current story is essentially correct, then it should go beyond Kean and Hamilton to assign responsibility for the failure of our air defenses to protect the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. There must be accountability. Without it, we will never know why our multi-trillion dollar defense establishment was unable even to protect its own headquarters from an unarmed aircraft. This is unacceptable.
It leaves the American people with no assurance that they can be protected in the event of another attack.

3. Conclusions
3.1 Findings
1. The flight crewmembers were properly certificated and had received the training for
pilot certification prescribed by Federal regulations. No evidence indicated any
preexisting medical or other physical condition that might have adversely affected the
flight crews performance during the accident flight. Fatigue most likely did not
degrade the performance of either pilot on the day of the accident.
2. The accident airplane was properly certificated, equipped, and maintained in
accordance with Federal regulations and approved company procedures. The
recovered components showed no evidence of preexisting powerplant, system, or
structural failures.
3. The weight and balance of the airplane were within limits for dispatch, takeoff, climb,
cruise, and landing.
4. The flight crew failed to maintain an appropriate course and speed for the approach
and did not properly configure the airplane at the start of the approach, making the
later stages of the approach more difficult.
5. During the later stages of the approach, the flight crew failed to monitor the airplanes
airspeed and allowed it to decrease to a dangerously low level (as low as about 50
knots below the companys recommended approach airspeed) and to remain below
the recommended approach airspeed for about 50 seconds.
6. The flight crew failed to recognize that a stall was imminent and allowed the airplane
to enter a stall from which they did not recover.
7. The inadequate airspeed or the full course deviation indicator needle deflection
should have prompted the flight crew to execute a go-around; however, they failed to
do so.
8. The flight crew was not adhering to Aviation Charters approach procedures and was
not effectively applying crew resource management techniques during the approach
segment of the flight.
9. Clouds might have prevented the flight crew from seeing the airport.
10. Icing did not affect the airplanes performance during the descent.
11. The Duluth approach control south radar controllers instructions did not prevent the
flight crew from intercepting the Eveleth-Virginia Municipal Airport VOR runway 27
final approach course at a sufficient distance to safely execute an approach and
12. The out-of-tolerance condition and slight bends in the Eveleth-Virginia Municipal
Airport VOR signal were not a factor in this accident.
13. Both pilots had previously demonstrated potentially serious performance deficiencies
during flight operations consistent with below-average flight proficiency.
14. At the time of the accident, Aviation Charter was not operating in accordance with its
weight and balance load manifest procedures, it did not have adequate stall recovery
guidance, it did not have consistent deicer boot operational guidance, and it did not
have an in-range checklist.
15. Aviation Charter was not adequately making company pilots aware of its Standard
Operating Procedures.
16. At the time of the accident, Aviation Charter was not training its pilots on crew
resource management (CRM) in accordance with its Federal Aviation
Administration-approved CRM training module.
17. Although the Federal Aviation Administrations surveillance of Aviation Charter was
in accordance with its standard guidelines, it was not sufficient to detect the
discrepancies that existed at Aviation Charter.
18. En route inspections, combined with ground training, flight training, and proficiency
check observations, are essential for ensuring adequate oversight of a companys
operations and should be conducted on flights operated by 14 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 135 on-demand charter operators.
19. The circumstances of the October 2002 Aviation Charter accident indicate that crew
resource management training should be extended to include all 14 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 135 on-demand charter operations that conduct dual-pilot operations
regardless of whether the aircraft requires two or more pilots.
20. The development of and requirement for the installation of low-airspeed alert systems
could substantially reduce the number of accidents and incidents involving flight
crew failure to maintain airspeed.
3.2 Probable Cause
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of
this accident was the flight crews failure to maintain adequate airspeed, which led to an
aerodynamic stall from which they did not recover.

The evil Dick Cheney
Does that sound reasonable to you? What about the other 21 Senators and 133 congressman that voted against the Iraq War Resolution?
Paul Wellstone is a hunted man. Minnesota's senior senator is not just another Democrat on White House political czar Karl Rove's target list, in an election year when the Senate balance of power could be decided by the voters of a single state. Rather, getting rid of Wellstone is a passion for Rove, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush and the special-interest lobbies that fund the most sophisticated political operation ever assembled by a presidential administration. "There are people in the White House who wake up in the morning thinking about how they will defeat Paul Wellstone," a senior Republican aide confides. "This one is political and personal for them." ....
"This race is going to be a case study of whether you can maintain liberal, progressive positions and win in this country in 2002," says Wellstone

Senator Wellstone Sprayed With Herbicide...
Just before the plane crash, Senator Wellstone announced that he had contracted Multiple Sclerosis, which is thought to be linked to toxic exposure such as the biocides sprayed by the US government on Senator Wellstone during his fact finding mission to Columbia.
Sherlock Holmes solved at least one case by noticing that something that should be present was missing. In the Hound of the Baskervilles, he solved the case by noticing that no one reported a barking dog. So what's missing in terms of the Wellstone plane crash? For the last 14 months, anytime there has been a plane crash, the media go way overboard in assuming that this must somehow be a terrorist incident. The initial reaction of the media in the first hours of the event is always now "oh my, I hope this isn't happening again. I hope this isn't another terrorist attack." Just a few days ago, there was a news story that Al-Queda may be targeting US Senators. The story referred to the possibilities of sniper attacks on golf courses. Just a few days later, a US Senator dies. So, what's missing? Sen. Wellstone's plane crashes, and there is absolutely no speculation that this is a terrorist attack. Somehow the media immediately knows that this plane crash was caused by bad weather, and this is in no way a terrorist attack. The media dog has been barking "terrorist" steadily for 14 months. Today the dog didn't bark.
will talk about a couple of the ongoing investigations, then some safety concerns that we hold. Fresh in everyone's mind is the accident which killed Senator Paul Wellstone and seven others in Minnesota last month. I was the Board Member accompanying the Go-Team, just as I had been the Member on the Carnahan accident two years ago. The flights had been a normal one in all respects; air traffic transmissions normal, the aircraft lined up headed west on the runway when it began to turn south and lose altitude. It crashed minutes later headed due south. An intense post crash fire destroyed most of the aircraft.
The engines and propellers have been torn down and there are no indications of pre-impact failures. We are continuing to examine radar data from previous flights and data from the FAA flight inspection airplane to determine if there are any navigational issues that would have resulted in the airplane turning to the south. We are also looking into the pilots' training and experience. While icing was present in the area at the time, we don't believe it was a factor in the accident.

Judicial Watch has long been on the trail of the corruption and deceit that were part and parcel of former First Lady Hillary Clinton's National Taskforce on Health Care Reform. I'm pleased to report that we have scored another breakthrough, pulling back more the veil of secrecy in which the Clintons have long shrouded their most famous policy failure.
On October 17, 2013, thanks to Judicial Watch litigation, the public gained access to more than 57,000 pages of previously withheld documents from the Clinton Presidential Library related to the "cabinet-level" taskforce chaired by former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton during the first term of the Bill Clinton presidency.
The release of records came more than seven years after Judicial Watch filed an April 4, 2006, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request asking for "any and all" records pertaining to the Taskforce on Health Care Reform. On November 2, 2007, Judicial Watch was forced to file a FOIA lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration to obtain the records (Judicial Watch, Inc. v U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (No: 1:07-cv-07-1987)).
And finally, on October 17, after nearly a decade, the Supervisor Architect of the Clinton Presidential Library sent a letter to Judicial Watch conceding, "We have completed processing, according to the provisions of FOIA, the approximately 57,234 pages of Clinton Presidential records responsive to … your FOIA request …."
One thing we already know for certain is that Hillary Clinton was the power behind the throne, given unbridled authority to direct and dictate the entire effort. According to Clinton Presidential Library records, "The cabinet-level Task Force, chaired by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, was given primary responsibility for providing advice and making recommendations to the President regarding the national health care reform package," which everyone knew as Hillarycare.
The release of the Task Force records marks another milestone in our long and relentless effort to obtain the information, dating back to the original 2006 FOIA request. Following the 2007 FOIA lawsuit, in February 2008 we asked the federal court to deny a National Archives motion to delay the release of any records indefinitely. In May 2008, the court granted the Archives motion, prompting us to note at the time, "The Archives processed requests for information about UFOs, while refusing to process requests for important information about a presidential candidate and U.S. Senator. This delay benefits no one but bureaucrats who refuse to do their jobs and politicians running for office."
In September 2008, U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman ruled against the National Archives and refused their motion to dismiss our lawsuit. In his ruling, the judged declared, "[The National Archives] argues that [Judicial Watch's] request is inadequate because it is overbroad…otherwise valid FOIA requests are not overbroad or unreasonable simply because they seek a very large number of documents," while noting that the Archives "should have been better prepared" to process open records requests related to the Clinton Presidential Library. And now, five years later, the National Archives has finally acceded to the law of the land.
What will Judicial Watch attorneys find as they dig into the stacks of previously withheld documents? Well, if the past is prologue, the revelations could be interesting. In January 2008, as our lawsuit against the National Archives was proceeding, we obtained an earlier batch of records from the Clinton Presidential Library that were stunning in their revelations. Among the highlights of those documents were the following:
- A June 18, 1993, internal Memorandum entitled, "A Critique of Our Plan," authored by someone with the initials "P.S.," makes the startling admission that critics of Hillary's health care reform plan were correct: "I can think of parallels in wartime, but I have trouble coming up with a precedent in our peacetime history for such broad and centralized control over a sector of the economy…Is the public really ready for this?… none of us knows whether we can make it work well or at all…"
- A "Confidential" May 26, 1993, memorandum from Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) to Hillary Clinton entitled, "Health Care Reform Communications," which criticizes the Task Force as a "secret cabal of Washington policy 'wonks'" that has engaged in "choking off information" from the public regarding health care reform. The memorandum suggests that Hillary Clinton "use classic opposition research" to attack those who were excluded by the Clinton Administration from Task Force deliberations and to "expose lifestyles, tactics and motives of lobbyists" in order to deflect criticism. Senator Rockefeller also suggested news organizations "are anxious and willing to receive guidance [from the Clinton Administration] on how to time and shape their [news] coverage."
- A February 5, 1993, draft memorandum from Alexis Herman and Mike Lux details the Office of Public Liaison's plan for the health care reform campaign. The memorandum notes the development of an "interest group database" detailing whether organizations "support(ed) us in the election." The database would also track personal information about interest group leaders, such as their home phone numbers, addresses, "biographies, analysis of credibility in the media, and known relationships with Congresspeople."
You can see how things haven't changed much in DC! The concerns and machinations over Hillarycare are virtually no different for the ongoing Obamacare disaster. Our investigators are preparing to fly down to Little Rock to review the new Hillarycare documents.

After spending just one evening in New Zealand's capital of Wellington, we caught a ferry across the Cook Strait to Picton. Picton is the gateway into the South Island and is located in the Marlborough Region, which is famous for its wine. Most of the wine in New Zealand is produced in the Marlborough Region, which is famous for its Sauvignon Blanc.
During our time in Picton, we went on a full day wine tour. Our favorite wineries were Wairau River, Wither Hills, Allan Scott, and Lawson's Dry Hills. These wineries were so much fun to visit because the estates were beautiful with vineyard views and great food. The tour was a great way to learn about what makes New Zealand's Sauvignon Blanc so unique and about the relatively young history of the wine industry in Marlborough.
Our short time in this wonderfully relaxing, seaside town was much needed after spending so much time on the Kiwi bus.

THE BELIEF CONCERNING DEATH (mawt)
Says the Shaykh: The Prince of Believers, 'Ali, on whom be peace, was asked: Describe death to us. He said: You have, indeed, accidentally come to one who is well informed! It (death) brings to the person dying one of three things - either tidings of perpetual bliss, or of everlasting misery, or fear and dread. Or an uncertainty (amrun mubhamun), if he (the dying person) does not know to which section he belongs. Now as for our friend and the follower of our command, he will be the recipient of the good tidings of perpetual bliss; and as for our enemy and one who opposed our claim, he will be given tidings of eternal misery: but one whose affair is doubtful, that is one who does not know his own mind, he is a believer who is prodigal regarding his own affairs (al-mu�amin al-musrif �ala nafsihi), not knowing what his condition will be. Good comes to him after doubt and dread. Then Allah will never mingle him with our enemies, but will take him out of the Fire by our intercession. So act (righteously) and obey (Allah) and do not rely solely upon yourselves, and do not belittle the punishment of Allah. For verily, he, who does not obtain our intercession except after 300,000 years of Allah's chastisement, is to be counted amongst the wasteful (musrifin)
Imam Hasan b. Ali b. Abi Talib was asked: What is this death, concerning which people are ignorant ? He said: It is the greatest joy which comes upon the believers when they go from this house of affliction to eternal bliss. And it is the greatest tribulation which comes upon the infidels when they go from their paradise (the earth) to a Fire which abates not, nor is it extinguished.
When Imam Husayn b. Ali b. Abi Talib was hard pressed, those who were with him looked at him, and behold ! he was totally different from them. Because when in great difficulty their colour changed and they trembled with fear, and their hearts were filled with trepidation, and their sides began to throb, Imam Husayn and some of his particular companions had bright faces, restful limbs and complete peace of mind. Then some of them said to others: Look at him, he does not care for death. Then Husayn said to them: Patience, O scions of nobility! For what is death, but a bridge by which you cross over from misfortune and harm to spacious gardens and eternal favours ? Now which of you would dislike to proceed from a prison to a palace? And as for these, your enemies, they are like people who go from a palace to a prison and to a painful torment. Verily, concerning this my father (Ali) related to me from my grandfather, the Messenger of Allah: Forsooth the world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the unbeliever, and death is the bridge for the former to their gardens, and for the latter, to their hell-fire. And he did not lie nor do I.
Imam 'Ali (Zaynu'l 'Abidin) b. al-Husayn was asked: What is death ? He said: For the believer it is like taking off clothes which arc dirty and lousy; or breaking heavy shackles and fetters, and changing into the most gorgeous and perfumed of apparel, and (riding on) well-trained mounts, and (alighting in) familiar resting-places. And for the unbeliever, it is the pulling off of gorgeous apparel and changing into the most filthy and coarse clothing ; and the transportation from familiar places to the wildest resting-places and the greatest torment.
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir was asked: What is death? He said: It is the sleep which comes to you every night, except that it is of long duration. The sleeper does not awake from it except on the day of Resurrection. Some see in their sleep certain kinds of joy the worth whereof cannot be estimated; others, certain kinds of terrors, which are beyond the pale of estimation. How then can his condition (be described) who may be happy or fearful in death? This then is death, so be prepared for it.
Imam Ja�far as-Sadiq was asked: Describe death to us. He said: To the believer it is like the most perfumed breeze, which he inhales and then doses off on account of the perfume, and his weariness and pain disappear from him. To the unbeliever it is like the biting of vipers and the stinging of scorpions; nay, it is even more painful. He was then told: There are some people who say that it is more painful than being sawed (with a saw), or being cut by scissors, or being crushed (to death) by stones, or the circular motion by the pivots of hand-mills in the pupils of the eye. He, on whom be peace, said: such is the travail of death on some of the unbelievers and sinners. Do you not see that among them are those who have witnessed such calamities ? Now that death is more painful than this and is more painful than all the worldly torments.
He was asked: Why is it that we see (occasionally) an unbeliever, who at the moment of death is not in pain. and who dies while he is relating (stories) or laughing or talking; and the same is the case with some believers. Again both among the believers and unbelievers there are some who endure hardships during the pangs of death. He said: Whatever happiness the believer enjoys is part of his early reward; and whatever pain he suffers is the forgiveness of his sins. so that he may arrive in the next world in a state of cleanliness, purity and spotlessness, fit for the reward of Allah. and without there being anything to keep him from it. And whatever of ease is to be found in the case of some unbeliever is the compensation for his good actions in this world, so that when he arrives in the next world, there remains naught to him save that which brings torment on him. And whatever of distress comes upon an unbeliever there (at the moment of death) is the commencement of the punishment of Allah, inasmuch as (the reward) of his good actions is at an end. That is because Allah, the Mighty and Glorious, is just and does not act wrongfully.
Imam Musa b. Ja�far al-Kazim visited a person while he was perspiring during the pangs of death and unable to answer anyone who called him. (Seeing this the persons round about) said: 0 son of the Messenger of Allah, we wish to know what the condition of our friend is and what death is. He said: Verily death is a purifier, it purifies the believers from sins; and it is the last pain which afflicts them, and the atonement of the last sin (or burden) upon them; whereas death separates the unbelievers from their good actions, and is the last delight or favour or comfort which reaches them. It is the last reward in respect of their good acts. As for your companion, he is completely purged from sins, and completely purified from crimes. He is cleansed so that he is pure - pure as a garment purified of its filth - and is made fit to associate with us, the People of the House, in our house, the Abode of Eternity.
One of the companions of the Imam �Ali ar-Rida, on whom be peace, fell ill. Imam ar-Rida went to visit him and said to him:
How do you find yourself? He said: I met death after you (left me), meaning the severity of the pain which befell him. The Imam said: how did you find it ? He said: (It was) a severe pain. The Imam said: You did not meet death, but what befell you was something to warn and acquaint you with some of its aspects. Verily, mankind may be divided into two classes: those who find rest in death (mustarih bi'l-mawt), and those who give rest (to others) by it (mustarh bi'l-mawt). So renew your faith in Allah, in the Prophethood (of Muhammad) and in the walaya (of the Imams) and you will be among those who find rest in it (death). The man acted accordingly - and this story is long and we have taken from it what was necessary.
Imam Muhammad b. �Ali b. Musa ar-Rida was asked: What is the matter with these Muslims that they dislike death? He said: They are ignorant of it an therefore they dislike it. If they possessed knowledge of it and were true friends (awliya�) of Allah, they would love it, and would surely know that the other world is better for them than this.
Then he (the Imam) said: 0 slave of God Why does a child or a mad man refuse to take the medicine which cleanses his body and removes his pain? The questioner said: Because they are ignorant of the benefits of the medicine.
He (Imam ar-Rida) said: I swear by Him Who sent Muhammad as a prophet of truth, may the peace and blessings of Allah be on him, verily as for those who prepare themselves for death as they really should, death will be more beneficial to them for curing themselves than this medicine. Lo! if only they knew what blessings death wouldl bring them. they would call out for it and desire it even more than the wise and resolute man (hazim) desires his medicine for the removal of his calamities and the recovery of his well-being.
Imam Ali b. Muhammad (b. All b. Musa ar-Rida) once visited one of his companions who was weeping and wailing for fear of death. Thereupon he, peace be on him, said: O slave of Allah, you fear death because you do not possess any knowledge about it. What say you ? -When you find your clothes filthy and loathsome and you suffer from excess of filth and dirt, and are full of wounds and scabs, and you know that a bath in a public bath (hammam) will remove all these from you, would you not wish to enter it and bathe so that all that filth may disappear? And would you not like to enter it and bathe so that the wounds and scabs should disappear from you? The man said: Yea, 0 son of the Messenger of Allah. The Imam said: This death is the hammam and it is the last portion of what remains against you of the forgiveness of your sins and your purification from your evil actions. For when you will enter upon it (death) and cross over it you will be saved from all grief and anxiety and injury and you will have attained complete joy and gladness. Then the man became quiet and cheerful and resigned himself, and closed his eyes and went on his way.
And Imam Hasan b. �Ali was asked concerning death and he said: It is the verification of things that have not yet happened. My father has reported a tradition to mc concerning it. He (my father) related from his father (who related in turn) from his grandfather, (who related in turn) froin Imam Ja�far as-Sadiq, that he said: Verily the true believer, when he dies, dies not in fact; it is the unbeliever who really dies, for Allah the Mighty and Glorious says: "Thou bringest the living out of the dead and Thou bringest the dead out of the living " {3, 26; cp. 6, 95; 10, 32; 30, 18]; that is, the true believer from the unbeliever and the unbeliever from the true believer. And he (Imam Ja'far) said: There came a man to the Prophet and said, "I do not know what has happened to me that I do not like death". The Prophet said: Have you any property? The man replied, "Yes". The Prophet said: Have you ever made offerings in charity? He said: "No". The Prophet said: It is on this account that you dislike death.
And he (Imam Ja'far) said: A man went to Abu Dharr (al-Ghifari) and asked: Why is it that we dislike death? He said: Because you have built for this a world and ruined (your prospects for) the next, and men dislike to shift from a settled habitation to a ruin.
And he (Abu Dharr) was asked: What do you think of our return to Allah, Who is Exalted above all? He said: As for the virtuous, he will be like one who being absent returns to his own people. And as for the wicked, he will be like a runaway slave returning to his master in fear and dread. He was asked: What think you of our plight before Allah? He said: judge of your actions in terms of the Book of Allah when it says: "Surely amid delights shall the righteous dwell, and verily the impure in Hell-fire" [86, 13-14]. Said a man: Then where is the mercy of Allah? He said: "Verily the mercy of Allah is nigh unto the righteous '' [7, 54].

Buttery Brown Sugar Bon Bon Hybrid Winter Squash
This Buttery Brown Sugar Bon Bon Hybrid Winter Squash is creamy and buttery! It's the perfect side to any meal. You'll fall in love with just one bite!
This bon bon hybrid winter squash comes from my dad's garden. Gardening is his hobby, and I get to reap the wonderful rewards from it. As I was making this Buttery Brown Sugar Bon Bon Hybrid Winter Squash I couldn't help but think of my dad. When he prepared squash for dinner, he did it like this. Hence this squash recipe.
I love squash. You may have gathered that by now, just look at this post, and you'll know what I'm talking about. Making this dish is so easy! It requires very little prep, and only 4 ingredients total. Grab your squash (you can use acorn squash if you prefer), cut it in half and scoop out the seeds. Mix brown sugar, melted butter, and a little kosher salt together in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, generously spread the buttery mixture over the inside of the squash. You'll have some of the mixture left over. Toss that in the middle of each squash. When you remove it from the oven, you'll have a small buttery brown sugar pool, and this is the icing on the cake in this recipe. You'll want that pool to dip your squash into.
Place your squash in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until it is soft and tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. You can eat it directly from the squash, or scoop out the tender meat and place it in a serving dish. Eat, and enjoy!
- 3 lb bon bon hybrid winter squash, or an acorn squash will work as well
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Carefully cut the squash in half. Discard the seeds and strings. Place the squash on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
Using a pastry brush, spread the brown sugar mixture over the entire squash. You should use the entire brown sugar mixture. You'll notice in my pictures that I have a handful of the brown sugar mixture sitting in the middle of each squash.
Place the squash in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until soft and tender. It's done when you can insert a fork into the meat with ease. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. You can serve the squash as is, or you can scoop the meat out and add it to a serving bowl. Serve warm. Enjoy!

In Leadership, Propel
Every Day is Your Big Audition
"Next!" I remember my worst audition.
I flew all the way to the Big Apple for it. I borrowed a way-better-than-my-best outfit for it. I gave my all for it. The critics gave me 15 seconds.
"Next!" A disenchanted shout from the dark. I was devastated.
That abrupt rejection caught me enough off guard to shift my perspective. I realized I was treating the audition as a rarefied moment, rather than a way of being. I was bringing my best, but only in small bursts. I decided if I cared enough to fly across the country and get rebuffed, I cared enough to go back home and get it right.

Summer Is Back
Spread your wings and take to the sky.
Spread your wings and take to the sky.
Just a pro forma post to keep this blog from falling into utter desuetude. Have a good Fall!
How dead is this blog? Not entirely! Here's a tour of downtown Rome in 320 A.D.
In memory of the eruption of Vesuvius on April 24, 79 A.D., and in celebration of the first day of classes here at BGSU for Fall Semester, here's this.
Since this mostly dormant blog is mostly used for musical markers of the semesters passing: here's Carl Orff's Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi–the Latin lyrics with English translation. And here's an alternate English version.
Starting the middle of the academic year at the beginning of the calendar year always seems weird to me. But weird isn't bad, so I'm getting ready to (as Ellison and Horace recommend) "begin in the middle and later learn the beginning. The end will take care of itself."
The last tractor has been pulled (no, that's not a euphemism), temperatures in the Great Black Swamp are slated to peak below 80º F today and it's the first day of classes. On with the show! P.S. I said it elsewhere–I've been saying it everywhere–but: congratulations to Lou Anders on his well-deserved Hugo for Best […]
Blood libel has been in the news lately because of its unfortunate use by St. Sarah Palin, apostle to the Mama Grizzlies. The unexpected benefit from this has been an outburst of history in news outlets that don't normally contemplate the existence of anything more ancient than Lady Gaga's meat dress. One really interesting story […]
The question came up in my myth class today: do all these werewolf and vampire stories go back to ancient Greece and Rome? The short answer is: not all, but some. Blood-drinking ghosts are a feature of Greek myth from its earliest recorded period; that's a good start on vampires. And werewolves are more unambiguous: […]

Fall (Hardcover)
The Rape and Murder of Innocence in a Small Town
New Horizon Press, 9780882822792, 272pp.
Publication Date: November 15, 2006
List Price: 24.95*
* Individual store prices may vary.
On a chilly autumn night in 1973, Casper, Wyoming's picturesque steel bridge was the scene of a horrific crime. Two young half-sisters, Amy Burridge and Becky Thomson, were abducted, raped, and thrown from the bridge into the swiftly flowing waters 110 feet below. Author and Casper native Ron Franscell was just a child when the crime shattered his close-knit community, brutally ending the life of one friend and neighbor and forever changing the life of another. Unable to shake the demons of that night, Franscell returns 30 years later to examine the widespread effect of evil and its poisonous effect on the people and town of Casper. A gripping, poignant, and intensely personal narrative, Fall also explores the broader issues of survivor guilt, community justice, and crime's lingering impact on society as a whole.

Got questions? We've got answers.
How do the monthly programs work?
These programs are best for clients who know they need our services on an ongoing basis. By committing to a monthly program, you not only receive a discounted hourly rate, but also faster and higher priority service. We'll build our schedule around your needs so that you know we'll always be available for you. You also receive the same discounted rate if you need additional hours in the month. To clarify how all of these benefits work, we've established a few policies to govern these programs below.
What days are you available?
We are available Monday through Friday, from 9am to 5pm EST. We are generally not available nights, weekends, and holidays. We also provide 2 weeks advance notice of any extended periods we'll be away whenever possible.
What are the different response times?
Our regular clients will tell you how thrilled they are with how quickly we get back to them and take care of their requests. Very often, it's the same day! However since our schedule can vary a bit, we've structured the response times for these programs to give the highest priority to our ongoing clients. With the higher level programs, you're guaranteed to have the work completed within a matter of hours or days.
Why is there a weekly limit?
In order to keep a consistent schedule, each program has a different limit of hours that can be used per week. If an exception comes up and you need a bit more than that in a given week, we may still be able to help you out. However the limits are there so that one client can't overwhelm our schedule for the week and crowd out other clients.
Do the hours expire?
For the 1, 5 and 10 hour programs, the hours do expire if unused each month. For the 20+ hour programs, your hours will roll over into the next month before expiring. So if you've got a slow month and a few hours are left over, they can be used the next month, as long as they don't go over the weekly limits. Again, the reason for these policies is to avoid rollover hours overwhelming the schedule.
Can I cancel any time? Do you offer refunds?
Each program has a minimum commitment length, which ensures that we can commit the time for you in our schedule as we book projects in the months ahead. So in order to receive that commitment from us, along with the discounted hourly rate, you'll be signing up for the corresponding number of months. Once that time period is up, you are welcome to cancel or renew your subscription. We will provide advance notice of any forthcoming changes to the programs, which would apply after you've renewed. And due to the nature of this work, we do not offer refunds. We're pledging our time and energy to your project at the exclusion of other projects, so even if you decide you no longer want the hours, we cannot offer you a refund for them.
What do the different benefits mean?
- Maintenance refers to regular website maintenance, which we'll always be available to you for through these programs.
- Priority means you'll be among our top priorities when scheduling future work – we'll plan on working for you according to the hours you've purchased.
- Dashboard refers to the client dashboard you'll have access to, which lists your available time and line items detailing the time we've already spent in the given month.
- Site Updates means we'll do a backup of your site and run automated updates to WordPress and your plugins and themes for free, at least once every month. This helps to ensure your site is up to date and securely backed up.
- Custom Projects are available for the higher tiers, referring to larger projects outside of or adding on to your main website that we can engage in with the additional time.
- Best Value and Top Priority are pretty self-explanatory, if you choose the 40 hour package, you'll receive the lowest available hourly rate and the highest level of commitment, ensuring that your projects come first before our other future projects are scheduled and that you're getting the biggest bang for your buck!
I have another question, or I'm not sure which program is right for me.
No problem! Feel free to contact us to discuss your needs, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible with more information.
By making your purchase, you agree to our Terms of Service.
Questions? Contact us and we'd be happy to assist.
Policies last modified on August 31st, 2013.

Everything is different now. I'm sort of seeing someone, kind of. It's early days and I'd long forgotten what these early stages are like. I'm suffering a lot from anxiety and worry. It's like I've turned into a needy child, craving reassurance like mother's milk. If hours go by without me hearing from her I start to wonder if she is going off me. She doesn't help in herself, as she isn't always the regular contact type person. When she does contact me it is always positive and seems to lift my anxiety, but that anxiety gradually returns.
It's not just my separation anxiety, but spending time with someone normal, bring around them and listening to them talk - it all reminds me of my inadequacies. My insular, lonely little life filled with unfulfilment. It's akin to learning to like yourself and then someone holding up a mirror, reminding you just how ugly you actually are. One step forward, two steps back.
I was drinking at the weekend too and I'm shocked at the effect it is having on my mental health. My anxiety today was through the roof. Off the chart. Depression too, thoughts of worthlessness and despair. Wondering just what the fucking point is. I don't know if it is affecting me this badly because I don't drink for long periods of time, or if I'm just changing as a person, rotting away.
I'm considering going to the doctor to see if I can get some kind of anti-anxiety medication.

WASHINGTON – Several Senate Republicans are proposing legislation that would allow Community Development Block Grants and Economic Development Assistance to be withheld from Sanctuary Cities that fail to comply with administration-mandated immigration enforcement.
Seven Senate Republicans led by Sen. John Cornyn of Texas last week introduced S. 1757, Building America's Trust Act, which calls for witholding the federal grants and assistance from sanctuary cities. The bill focuses mostly on immigration enforcement at the Southern Border.
The Cornyn legislation incorporates an earlier bill that Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania introduced in January, S. 87, the Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors denounced the Cornyn bill.
"The nation's mayors strongly oppose a provision in the Building America's Trust Act ... which would withhold Community Development Block Grant and Economic Development Assistance funding from jurisdictions which have instituted local policies to build trust with immigrant communities and uphold the Constitution in their treatment of people being detained," said Tom Cochran, CEO & executive director of the mayors group.
"The CDBG program is critical to the community and economic development of our cities' lower income neighborhoods,'' Cochran said. "Penalizing it and EDA's programs is counter-productive, mean-spirited, and likely unconstitutional.''
The legislation stems form President Trump's effort to crack down on undocumented immigrants through a Jan. 25 Executive Order that directed the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department to withhold law enforcement funds from cities failing to comply with immigration restrictions.
Earlier legislative efforts in the Senate on immigration have failed thus far. The House approved the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act on a largely party-line 228-195 vote in June that would have withheld some DOJ and DHS grants to sanctuary cities, including the Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grants. Efforts to pass a Senate bill in the current Congress haven't moved pass the bill introduction phase.
Meanwhile, several cities have sued the federal government to prevent the withholding of funds for failure to comply with the administration's restrictions on immigrants.
On July 25, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new requirements for local law enforcement to "allow federal immigration access to detention facilities, and provide 48 hours notice, before they release an illegal alien wanted by federal authorities.'' He made the announcement in connection with the Byrne JAG applications, which must be submitted by Sept. 5.
The latest legal battle came Monday when the city of Chicago filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Justice Department for adding new prerequisites for the police grants.
"Chicago is a welcoming city and always will be, and we will not be blackmailed by President Trump's Justice Department,'' Mayor Rahm Emanuel said. "Forcing us to choose between our values and our Police Department's philosophy of community policing is a false choice, and it is a choice that would ultimately undermine our public safety agenda."
The Chicago lawsuit accuses the Justice Department of unconstitutional executive overreach. "The executive branch of the federal government may not arrogate to itself the powers that our Constitution reserves for Congress, on the one hand, or to state and local governments on the other,'' it states.
The suit adds that DOJ, "may not concoct and import into the Byrne JAG program sweeping new policy conditions that were never approved (and indeed were considered and rejected) by Congress.''
President Trump's effort to crack down on immigration through his Executive Order was blocked by a federal court ruling in April.
U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick in San Francisco ruled that the White House effort to withhold funds to cities and other jurisdictions constituted an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers doctrine.
Aside from the April memorandum issued by the Attorney General, there is no official federal definition of a sanctuary city.
The policies in these jurisdictions range from limiting local law enforcement officers from cooperating with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to restricting some types of information that can be shared about an alien with federal law enforcement, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
"At least five states (California, Connecticut, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont); dozens of cities, including Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Washington, DC; and hundreds of counties limit their assistance to federal immigration law enforcement agencies,'' CRS said in a Feb. 15 report, citing estimates by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
CRS said it was "difficult to track the exact number or current policies of sanctuary jurisdictions at any given point, because jurisdictions may periodically change their policies regarding their level of cooperation with ICE.''

hey, I just joined. I\'ve been working on a story. Please read and give me feedback.
She looked at me and said
Izzy, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Her face flourished and her eyes so curiously wandering around my face.
Think, what do you want to be? Do you want to be a doctor? A firefighter? Oh, how about a lawyer?
Her eyes fixated on my nose, as if there was a spider waiting to sink its fangs into my innocent face.
If I can remember correctly, I said No. I dont think I will ever grow up. I will probably be dead by then.
ONE- If you thought suburbia was cool
In a small town called Eniwrit, California, resided no more than two hundred residents. There was a church, two convenience stores and a few bars that sat on the corner of the Marina. The majority of the townspeople were Caucasian and Asians. It was Christian society that was corrupted by the beliefs of certain rules. There were no criminals, your neighbors came over to borrow sugar and flour. The wealthier people invited the whole town for weekly dinners and gossip. It would appear that the town was a peaceful and heart warming community, as an outsider would think. Mr. & Mrs. Ackles four houses down both worked as lawyers. Mr. Brown who lived on the corner worked as a bouncer at a night club, he would invite his neighbors over for sporting events and drinks. He was very well known around town as the entertainer. Mrs. Lindson, a widow, who was always cheerful and welcoming. She was the mayor of the town. This really does seem like a paradise. The natives here were honest workers who kept the town afloat and everyone trusts each other.
Two streets down was a grade school, a junior high and a senior high school, all compacted into a massive building that looked like a county jail house. Across from there was the towns city hall. Nothing took place there, it was a deserted building that was sealed off.
The city sprawled out a maximum of 5 miles. On the borderline resides a power plant and a few industrial factories that employed most of the people. This is definitely a city waiting for a disaster.
On Halloween, the town would become the epitome of hallows eve. There would be children running around screaming and begging for candy, teenagers boycotting in basements with joints in their mouths and adults who dress up like molestors and sluts just for a night. After the night has passed, the town would go on as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Ackles and Mr. Brown did not have an affair. The mayor did not get drunk and found the next guy she saw down the street. Teenagers did not smoke their joints and commit illegal acts. Everything is as it was. One would think, wouldnt they?
can you keep a secret mayor?
In this town, the hours fly by like cars racing up and down the highway. The night comes too fast and the mornings last too long. Night owls like the paper boy, who tosses papers against shuttered doors and steel cage screens. The sound of it so loud, flocks of robins chirp and scatter away. The Ackles head off to work at sun rise and the sprinklers awake from its short sleep. Signs of the sun waking up: papers bashing against the door? Check. The birds caw and scatter? Check. Sprinklers that sound like raging waters? Check. The professionals heading off to work? Check. Finally the school bus that takes all the kids to school? Check.
While everyone is off to school or work, the dark hour arrives. At this time of day, the clouds scatter, bringing a bright light that beams onto the city hall building. The building that was sealed off now shines with curiosity and wonder.
Only a few townspeople knew of this. One day, Mr. Brown, the bouncer purposely broke into City Hall. What he found was something so terrifying, so intensely intriguing that he wandered further into the building.
As he stepped into the revolving door that lead into the lobby, he smelled a rotting scent mixed with perfume. He walked further and he found a woman in a green dress. Her hair pulled back like a French bun, her lips red, her eyes wide and he skin shined. He approached her and found that she was bleeding from the right leg.
Hello, Miss, are you alright? Youre bleeding.
Hmm? Oh Im sorry. Would you like to help me?
Sure, we need to bandage you up or youre going to bleed to death.
He walked closer to her and sensed that something was deeply wrong with this building. The hairs on the back of his neck jolted upwards, sweat was starting to form and he starts to tremble.
A door opens. Another door opens. Three more after. Slowly, he sees legs emerge from the shadows. A group of women now appeared before him.
Hello Mister, are you looking for someone?
He couldnt believe his eyes. These women were model like, almost doll like.
Uh no. I was just looking around.
The women surrounded him, touching him. He couldnt resist. He couldnt help himself. His clothes slowly ripped off.
What are you doing?
The women pull out knives from their backs. A short edged kitchen knife, a butcher knife and cleavers.
Stop, this isnt funny!
Lets cut off his testicles Will that do?
No, lets just chop off his penis.
How about we just chop everything off?
Hey! Stop! Now!
Mr. Brown struggled to get free. His efforts werent working, he begun to panic. The women got closer to him and whispered.
Now Lets see how you do without it?
His right arm came loose, soon his legs were also. His fist connects with the woman in the blue dress and he runs for the door.
When he turned around to look at them, the women slowly aged. Their faces smashed in, their eyes melted, cuts and bruises everywhere on their body. It was as if they were beaten to death.
He bolts out the door and tries to find a witness. He bumps into the mayor who is standing outside the library.
Mayor! I just saw something in the City Hall!
That building has been sealed off for years, how did you get in there?
Can you keep a secret?

It was supposed to be LSU's one strength on defense.
When LSU rolled into Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday evening, it boasted the No. 1 pass defense in the Southeastern Conference. LSU had the fifth-best secondary in the nation, allowing only 130.6 yards per game through the air.
Then it played Auburn.
The home squad knew of LSU's weakness: the visiting Tigers ranked No. 12 in the conference in run defense, surrendering 161.6 rushing yards per game. Opposing squads averaged 4.5 yards per carry against LSU.
Considering Auburn's typical offensive game plan, it was the perfect matchup.
Sixty-one percent of Auburn's play calling through its first four games of the season consisted of running the football. Fifty-four percent of its offensive yards were gained on the ground.
On Saturday night, though, Auburn took to the skies early and often.
It began with just over seven minutes remaining in the first quarter. With Auburn leading 3-0 and looking for a spark, senior quarterback Nick Marshall dropped back, took one look, then fired to a covered Sammie Coates just in front of the end zone.
Coates was blanketed by LSU sophomore cornerback Rashard Robinson, who had become a critical piece of the Tigers' secondary after being a lock-down defensive back in 2013.
"I don't care who I'm going against," Coates said. "If (Robinson) stopped me, then he stopped me, and I'd give him props. I went out there tonight and just took advantage of every chance I got to make a play."
Robinson leaped to knock the pass away from Coates, but he whiffed, leading to a 56-yard score to put Auburn up by 10.
It was only the beginning of Auburn's dissection of LSU's defensive backfield.
"It energized us a lot," Marshall said. "Last year, we'd heat up, and then we couldn't put the other team away. Today we focused on it. … And we put our feet on the gas and kept on going."
The home squad didn't even need its starting quarterback to impose its will on the visiting secondary.
On second down with roughly 4:30 remaining in the first quarter, Auburn ran an end-around, and sophomore passer Jeremy Johnson found the ball in his hands with an open Coates streaking down the field.
Johnson found his man for a 38-yard gain after Coates fought off LSU junior safety Jalen Mills. Marshall would rush for a touchdown later in the drive.
Marshall added one more passing touchdown to the stat sheet before halftime, hitting a wide open C.J. Uzomah in the end zone.
In the first half, Marshall completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 182 yards and two touchdowns. Coates had three receptions for 123 yards and a score.
The loss of LSU sophomore defensive back Dwayne Thomas was more than evident. Used heavily in the "Mustang" package, Thomas was a constant threat both in the backfield on blitzes and in the short passing game. Thomas tore his ACL in LSU's previous game against New Mexico State, ending his season.
Marshall was able to make the most of a battered secondary, completing a number of passes to senior running back Cameron Artis-Payne, who had three receptions for 35 yards.
An Auburn passing game that formerly ranked No. 11 in the conference continued to have its way in the second half.
The Marshall-Coates connection stayed red hot in the third quarter as the duo hooked up on a 21-yard pass play that led to an Auburn field goal.
Auburn's senior passer finished 14-of-22 for 207 yards and two touchdowns. Coates had four receptions for 144 yards and a score.
Not even a No. 1 secondary could slow the eventual rout by the home Tigers.
"That's one thing we can do," Coates said. "We've got too many playmakers on offense. I don't care who we play against. We're going to make plays regardless."

ARTHUR DANIELWICZ, left, of Middlebury, shakes hands with Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch following Crouch's address Friday morning at Goldenrod's Goshen facility. Staff photo by Geoff Lesar
The figure, provided by Tammy Friesen, CEO of local faith-based ministry Goldenrod, is partially why Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch visited the nonprofit's Goshen facility Friday morning.
"My goal is to create a blueprint for a better system," Crouch said in her address to about 40 people, including state Sen. Blake Doriot, state Rep. Tim Wesco and Goshen Chamber of Commerce President Nick Kieffer. "And I don't want a report that sits on the shelf. I want a real game plan, and we need to have a plan with a concrete vision on how we can meet the needs of those individuals and their families, but also a plan that holds those that are involved accountable.
"There's no doubt in my mind that this plan has to center on employment. It's the No. 1 issue we hear about from people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities."
Crouch said the last assessment was completed in 1997.
"So a lot has changed since then, and now the state is moving forward with coming up with a plan for the future," she said.
Crouch, a longtime advocate of those with special needs, said the state's current efforts to assess services and supports spawned, in part, from Enrolled House Bill 1102.
A piece of legislation from the 2017 General Assembly, the bill established a task force for such assessment, which will assist in developing recommendations and strategies for "a 10-year comprehensive plan to be able to increase options and to increase the quality of service that we provide for those individuals," Crouch said.
While concrete solutions have yet to be crafted, Crouch said offering incentives for Hoosier business owners employing special-needs workers is a possibility.
"They show up to work on time. They take limited sick time. And what some people might think is a small and tedious task, they do it right over and over and over again. People with disabilities brighten the morale of the whole work environment. They have lower workers comp claims," Crouch said. "And all of these facts we need to be sharing with businesses far and wide."
Asked what she believes is crucial to a successful 10-year plan, Goldenrod's Friesen was quick to note a "person-centered" approach.
"Everything that comes out of this plan has to be person-centered," Friesen said. "... Focusing on total community inclusion is extremely important."
Unlike group homes, Friesen explained Goldenrod promotes and provides supportive living, allowing clients to operate independently with as-needed assistance in the home.
A common misconception, Friesen added, is Goldenrod services are primarily for adults. On the contrary, clients can be as young as 2, with about 70 percent of the nonprofit's services falling within family practice, she said.
Goldenrod is presently collaborating with Northridge High School and Horizon Education Alliance, a Goshen nonprofit developing pilot projects to design, test and adopt solutions to improve local education outcomes, according to its mission statement.
"Partnering with Tammy Friesen and Goldenrod helps us to think about the holistic approach — the support structure for all people in the community," HEA Director of Facilitation Jason Harrison said of the inclusive effort.
Harrison explained the organization implements multiple initiatives for the lifespan, working with young students, adults, those in higher education and others.
Initiatives include joining with high schools and local organizations to create experiential learning opportunities which can translate into high school and college credit, paid work or accreditation toward certifications and degrees.
"(Goldenrod staff) come to work with some of our students currently," Northridge High School Principal Drew Wood said of the "relatively new" partnership. "And it's really about getting them out in the community, getting them a job. We're working on things now that can hopefully lead to something in the future, when it comes to a pathway. I'm really excited about as we expand this to more students."
Northridge students have previously linked with Middlebury manufacturer Arbor Industries Inc., Wood said, assisting in the business's production process.
"They also do a great job of character training while they're there, you know, developing a strong workforce. It might be something similar," Wood said of the partnership possibilities.
Without offering a definite timeline, Wood said Northridge's program is expected to begin at freshman level when fully active, following similar criteria used in the school's graduation pathways to determine student inclusion.
"We are already looking at anybody going through our schools currently in the graduation pathway. So we want to measure them in that regard so they can graduate with that," he said. "That's what we're going to look towards."

Chunichi Dragons: July 22, 2010
by Gen on Jul.22, 2010 @ 6:52 am, under NPB
...The Dragons' scoreless innings streak came to an end at 50 last night. Brett Harper was the man responsible for stopping the streak with a 2-run homer off Kazuki Yoshimi in the fourth inning. The 50 innings tied a Central League record set by Yomiuri in June 1966, but came 2 innings short of tying the NPB record of 52 innings set by Hanshin in 1942.
...Ryoji Nakata had another chance to pick-up his first pro hit last night during a pinch-hit at bat and cashed in with a single to center off Yataro Sakamoto in the 6th inning with 1 out. Nakata grounded out to second during a pinch-hit at bat on Tuesday (his first official pro at bat).
On a side note: according to Sponichi, Nakata dropped some weight, going from 118kg to 105kg.

"As a parent who has a daughter that dances at Erin's Dance Club, it is reassuring knowing that the teachers/instructors treat each child as if their own. They are all great role models and support. My daughter has gained a confidence in herself that she didn't have before dancing with Erin's 5 years ago. She enjoys and loves every teacher she has and looks forward to going to dance each week.
From my daughter's eyes it lets her be herself and that you can't judge someone by how they dance, everyone chooses their own dance. It makes her feel like she can be anything she wants to be."Barbara and Holley
"What dancing means to my family is unconditional love and support in every aspect of life not just on the dance floor. Both my children have/do attend Erin's dance club. With my oldest dance was a way for him to feel apart of something special. He has never had such a light around him as he did when he was dancing. Every time he walks into the studio now he is treated with such love and support for him even if he doesn't dance anymore. The instructors each take their time to talk to him and find out what is going on in his world. Now my daughter dances and loves every second of it. She has found her place on the stage and that is all due to the dedication and love she gets from Erin and Amy . She tells me that inside her feels happy when she dances and that is a parents wish when their child has found their place in the world. No matter what if it is inside the studio or if we run in to the team at a competition their is always a smile on Erin's face and a hug to give. So you ask why my kids dance at Erin's dance club, well I wouldn't have them dance anywhere else because at Erin's you and not just any dancer you are family and that is what makes a child feel safe to express themselves to the best of their abilities."Jill
"New in Ontario, we have been greeted at EDC like a family. Our daughters have made several friends, they've improved their dance skills beyond our hopes and their self-esteem and confidence grow through each EDC's opportunity; Dance-o-ton, Santa parade, Canada Day, Cherry Fest and the wonderful recital. During summer, both have watched their favourite dancers recital videos thousands of times to practice and improve more and more.
Thank you 💖 EDC 💟 for this achievement and your professionalism. You are not only sharing your wonderful passion, more, you are a fantastic teacher."Claudia & Maurice
"To me dancing @EDC means, having great friends, an awesome dance family, and the opportunity to get expand my dance style because the teachers are very good @ helping you learn new dance styles. Everyone at the studio is very supportive of one another. "Paige
"Bringing my daughter to dance at EDC has meant watching her grow into an even better dancer, and the acceptance from everybody was astounding, here at EDC we have the best dance family. The teachers, students and parents are all awesome. From classes to competitions there is never a dull moment. "Christine
"What dancing at Erins Dance Club means to our family….my daughter has been dancing at Erins going on three seasons. I remember when she had her first summer class. She was greeted with enthusiasm and a smile which made my nervous 3 year old feel at ease. She came out of that class telling me how much she loved Miss Erin and she couldn't wait to dance the next week. That is what dancing at Erins is all about the joy the classes and teachers bring to their students. I have watched my daughters dancing greatly improve each season and am wonderfully surprised by the amazing recital at the end of the season. Each dancer up on that stage is confident and enjoying themselves! My daughter told me she loves dancing at Erins because Miss Erin makes to so much fun to learn!"Andrea
"Erin's Dance Club has been such an important part of our family's life. Erin has taught my children how to work as a group, how to persevere, what dedication means and the benefits of it, confidence and how to belong to a family. I have watched my children grow in so many different ways since being a part of EDC and we look forward to our weekly visits. One of my daughters has even assisted with the younger children in their classes to share her love for dance with them. Another daughter has even been the winner of one of her wonderful scholarships! Erin teaches, loves, coaches and listens to each and every student and their parent. The environment and the atmosphere is unmatchable. Everyone who is a part of EDC is there for each other just like a second family, this is the energy that Erin herself gives off. We love Erin's Dance Club because of how lively, fun and welcoming it is. We cannot wait to start this next year of dance!"Sarah
"Dancing at Erins dance studio has completely changed my daughter. Her passion for dance is fully renewed and she has finally found herself again.Erin has allowed her to be herself and express who she truly is. Erin has pushed her to become an even better version of herself. For that I am for ever grateful."Jenn
"Miss Erin is an excellent teacher who has wonderful classroom management and fun incorporations. Great teaching techniques!"Sherrie

Dedication of House 82 is on Sunday,May 6, 2012, at 2PM. This weekend we worked on the Landscaping of House 82. About two dozen people showed up the help.
I took about 70 pictures and post them to Flickr. Unfortunately, because the sewer line has not been connected we could finished the landscaping. Hopefully it will done on the Saturday before the Dedication. Of course, this not the first time Habitat did a house dedication with the home not 100% per cent ready. But Habitat will finish the home.
