Trail legacy.
When Fox Racing first introduced the Flux Helmet, it was one of the few trail-specific helmets available. This year—its 10th birthday—the Flux is joined by plenty of formidable competition, but it still holds its own as a lightweight, affordable player in the trail market. The 2016 version now boasts an all-new dial-actuated retention system for an even more customizable fit.
The most notable feature of the Flux is probably its extensive rear coverage, which provides valuable protection to the vulnerable areas on the back and sides of the head. The Flux's lightweight EPS foam protection stays the same from past years, with Fox adding 17 strategically-shaped vents to usher air in and out of the helmet to keep you cool-headed on the trails or during park sessions.
- Protect your head muscle in park-appropriate style
- In-mold shell better absorbs and dissipates impact
- Extended protection because ramps and rocks are both really hard
- Generous ventilation for days you're climbing to earn your runs

I returned it...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I was sure I'd like the helmet from the reviews, and it is a good looking helmet out of the box... but when I tried it on I could not get the straps to fit comfortably. Maybe it's the shape of my head, but they kept digging into the back of my ears. I also didn't like how the rear straps were really one single strap that ran through the inside of the helmet. I ended up returning it and ordering another brand I've had luck with.
love my helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
it is very comfy and works around the hair. i am not a hardcore bike rider but i feel safe in this helmet.
Great venting
I'd recently retired an old Giro Feature after too many bumps and drops.
The fit of the Flux is perfect with their size chart although a smaller fit than Giro. Setting up the fit was quick and easy.
Stand out feature for me is that the vents work great when facing down. Some helmets are meant to only channel air when facing forward. This makes those miserable stand up peddling sections a breeze.
I don't know if the rear spoiler does anything and it partially pops out so I might end up ripping it off.
All in all this is a great affordable helmet.
Great fit, style, color
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Overall you can't go wrong with this helmet, especially for the value! I love that it's available in a number of subtle, monochromatic color options. I'm not into that fast looking, race-inspired color palette that you see on some helmets. That adjustability allows you to get a solid fit with little effort!
Weird fit
Maybe I just got the wrong size, but the straps on this helmet were absurdly long. I had to tighten the pinch snaps so much that they were resting on my ears. The back fit adjustment rested on the little bump that's on the back of your skull, not very comfortable. People seem to like it, but it did not fit well for me.
Superb Value
This helmet is lightweight, it looks sweet, and it didn't cost me a ton. Although my hair sticks out through the big holes, the fit feels great and it's very comfortable.
Lightweight & Tons of Venting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
great fit on this helmet, barely feel it on my dome it's so light. Ventilation is excellent, can really feel the wind as I glide down the trail. I'd recommend this helmet to anyone I could.
Perfect for just about everything
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is an awesome helmet for everything except for the steepest of downhill, i don't like to use a full face unless i have to and this has been my go to helmet for a while now
Saved my friends brain
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I recently bought this helmet and didn't think I was was going to keep it... My friend, who bikes quite often (everyday for the most part) found it in my house. He wore it twice before he took a big hit on it at the local bike park. He was defiantly concussed, the helmet itself isn't broken but i don't think he'll wear it again seeing as it compromised its integrity. Its a great helmet fit is spot on and he said it didn't move when he "jackknifed' on the landing.. great buy, great fit, didn't feel like anything was on his head. A must have.
The helmet is an excellent fit, lightweight and breathable . Also looks bitchin!
My helmet of choice for the last 5 years
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been wearing Flux helmets on trails for a few years now, and have had no reason to change. Comfortable, lightweight and plenty of ventilation. Humidity is a killer where I live, so this helmet is perfect.
I am with you garth...I am on my third and still love it. I have checked out many more expensive lids and i find this to fit better on my melon that most anything. Not the lightest but light enough that i never really notice it.
Feel the Flux and Flow
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have ridden with the Fox Flux for a solid five years. Luckily I have only gone through two helmets in that time. The 17 vents offer ample ventilation for riding in the desert or those hot summer days in the mountains. The visor is a little flimsy compared to other helmets but it is easily replaced if broken. I am interested to see how the new dial fit retention system compares to the old Detox system (I will report back on this later). I would highly recommend this to any mountain biker looking for a reasonably priced, lightweight helmet that can do it all.
Feel free to shoot me any questions about the Flux or any other bike helmets.

Early life probably fell victim to massive space rocks
Planet-sterilizing asteroids struck Earth until around 4.3 billion years ago
S. Marchi
Space rocks larger in diameter than Utah bombarded the early Earth, probably repeatedly eradicating emerging life on the planet's surface. The last of these death rocks struck around 4.3 billion years ago, scientists estimate in the July 31 Nature, providing an upper limit to when life first took hold on Earth.
From Earth's origin around 4.6 billion years ago until 3.8 billion years ago, the planet was such a hellish place that geologists call this eon the Hadean after Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. Debris left over from the solar system's creation regularly slammed into Earth, boiling away the early ocean and coating the planet with molten rock.
But it was during this chaotic period that scientists think life arose on Earth.
"If life on Earth emerged before [a] final sterilizing impact, it may have been completely erased," says planetary scientist and lead author

Nov. 30, 2008
FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Ryan Howard scored 15 points to lead four players in double figures as Sacred Heart edged Yale 63-57 in a non-league game at the William H. Pitt Center. Ross Morin paced the Bulldogs with a season-high 20 points on 8 of 11 shooting from the field.
Yale trailed by as many as eight points in the second half, but rallied to tie the score at 50-50 on Alex Zampier's layup with 5:17 left. The Bulldogs (1-4) had two possessions with the chance to take the lead but couldn't capitalize. Chauncey Hardy then made a three-pointer to give the Pioneers the advantage.
Morin's jumper cut the deficit to one, but Hardy answered with a layup to make it 55-52 with 2:51 remaining. Two Hardy free throws increased the lead to five before Porter Braswell made three free throws to get Yale back within two with 1:01 left. Shane Gibson, though, hit a jumper to make it 59-55 with 34 seconds left.
Howard then made four free throws in the final 15 seconds to seal the victory for the Pioneers (1-3) in their home opener.
"I thought we had a chance to win the basketball game," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "We needed to come up with a couple of stops and make a couple of shots, and we didn't do it."
Sacred Heart, which hadn't played since a loss at Providence on Nov. 20, had 14 offensive rebounds in the game, which led to 14 second-chance points.
"If we rebound better, we win the basketball game," Jones said.
Zampier finished with 17 points for the Bulldogs. Braswell added seven points and three assists. Garrett Fiddler and Jordan Gibson both had four points.
Henly and Hardy each had 11 points for Sacred Heart, while Gibson chipped in 10 points.
Yale made only four of 21 three-point attempts.
"They weren't bad shots. Those will go down in other games," said Morin, who also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. "We need to get more easy baskets. We are trying to beat teams down the court."
Both teams shot less than 40 percent from the field in the first half. The Bulldogs raced out to an 8-2 lead after four minutes, but Henley's put-back tied the score at 12 midway through the first half.
Yale took a 17-14 lead on Morin's layup but then went nearly five minutes without a field goal. The Pioneers took advantage and built a 26-21 advantage at the intermission.
"I thought we did a pretty good job defensively, especially in the first half," Jones said. "We just had a few missed assignments."
The Bulldogs are back in action on Wednesday night when they host Holy Cross at 7 p.m. at the John J. Lee Amphitheater.

On April 18, 1970, then Gov. Deane Davis — clad in work clothes and a brimmed hat with a dozen Boy Scouts in front of him — posed for a photo in the middle of Interstate 89 outside of Montpelier while picking up trash along the highway. It was the state's first Green Up Day and the governor (who also pushed through Act 250 under Addison County Sen. Art Gibb's leadership) closed the interstate for the day (imagine!) so Vermonters could safely clean up the state's busiest thoroughfare.
That's taking the issue to heart — and making a statement.

On the June 23, 2013 episode of Exposing Faux Capitalism with Jason Erb on Truth Frequency Radio, I covered the following articles and video:
Dentist's decision to fire 'too attractive' assistant upheld by court
Here is my commentary on my Facebook group post:
"Another case of a false frame by the mass media to pit one group against another — in this case women vs. men. The court ruled correctly, but for the wrong reason. The dentist acted legally in dismissing his "attractive" assistant not because there was no gender discrimination, but because an employer has the right to dismiss employees according to the terms of the employment contracts."
There is no right to privacy by Dr. Walter Block
My Facebook commentary:
"Interesting perspective by contrarian Dr. Walter Block, whom I have interviewed on my show. He asserts that there is no right to privacy, and that privacy is only a benefit. This is provocative to some, just as the claim that health care isn't a right, which I agree with, since it's a market good, but is Dr. Block right about privacy?"
Coast To Coast AM – July 13 2013 – The Federal Reserve – C2CAM Radio DisclosureRadio
My Facebook commentary:
"Millions of weekly listeners doesn't mean you'll hear informed guests. Take last night's C2C AM guest, Brad Thor, who falsely claimed that the Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express (in ownership, that's true, but not overall), and he laughably claimed that Canada is a socialist country vis-a-vis the U.S. (at 1h4m), despite the conservative Heritage Foundation ranking Canada as more economically free than the U.S. for the fourth year in a row in 2013.

Romney, Torture, And Teens: The Former Governor's Connections To Abusive "Tough Love" CampsBy Maia Szalavitz Return to Drug War News: Don't Miss ArchiveWhen Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he'd support doubling the size of the prison at Guantanamo Bay, he was trying to show voters that he'd be tough on terror. Two of his top fundraisers, however, have long supported using tactics that have been likened to torture for troubled teenagers.As The Hill noted last week, 133 plaintiffs filed a civil suit against Romney's Utah finance co-chair, Robert Lichfield, and his various business entities involved in residential treatment programs for adolescents. The umbrella group for his organization is the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS, sometimes known as WWASP) and Lichfield is its founder and is on its board of directors.The suit alleges that teens were locked in outdoor dog cages, exercised to exhaustion, deprived of food and sleep, exposed to extreme temperatures without adequate clothing or water, severely beaten, emotionally brutalized, and sexually abused and humiliated. Some were even made to eat their own vomit.But the link to teen abuse goes far higher up in the Romney campaign. Romney's national finance co-chair is a man named Mel Sembler. A long time friend of the Bushes, Sembler was campaign finance chair for the Republican party during the first election of George W. Bush, and a major fundraiser for his father.Like Lichfield, Sembler also founded a nationwide network of treatment programs for troubled youth. Known as Straight Inc., from 1976 to 1993, it variously operated nine programs in seven states. At all of Straight's facilities, state investigators and/or civil lawsuits documented scores of abuses including teens being beaten, deprived of food and sleep for days, restrained by fellow youth for hours, bound, sexually humiliated, abused and spat upon.According to the L.A. Times, California investigators said that at Straight teens were "subjected to unusual punishment, infliction of pain, humiliation, intimidation, ridicule, coercion, threats, mental abuse… and interference with daily living functions such as eating, sleeping and toileting."Through a spokesperson, Lichfield has dismissed the similar charges against WWASPS to The Hill as "ludicrous," claiming that the teens who sued "have a long history of lying, fabricating and twisting the story around to their own benefit."Straight would use virtually identical language in its denials: In the 1990 L.A. Times article cited above, a Straight counselor downplayed the California investigators' report by saying, "Some kids get very upset and lie and some parents believe them." Both Straight and WWASPS have repeatedly called their teen participants "liars" and "manipulators" who oppose the programs because they want to continue taking drugs or engage in other bad behavior.Curiously, however, both programs regularly admitted teens who did not actually have serious problems. In 1982, 18-year-old Fred Collins, a Virginia Tech student with excellent grades, went to visit his brother, who was in treatment for a drug problem at Straight in Orlando, Florida.A counselor determined that he was high on marijuana because his eyes were red (this would later turn out to have been due to swimming in a pool with contacts on). He did admit to occasional marijuana use, but insisted he was not high at the time, nor was he an addict. Nonetheless, he was barraged with hours of humiliating questions, strip-searched, and held against his will for months until he managed to escape.He won $220,000 in a lawsuit he filed against the program for false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, assault, and battery. Ultimately, Straight would pay out millions in settlements before it finally closed. However, to this day, there are at least eight programs operating that use Straight's methods, often in former Straight buildings operated by former Straight staff. They include: Alberta Adolescent Recovery Center (Canada), Pathway Family Center (Michigan, Indiana, Ohio), Growing Together (Florida), Possibilities Unlimited (Kentucky), SAFE (Florida), and Phoenix Institute for Adolescents (Georgia).Sembler has never admitted to the problems with Straight's methods. In fact, when he recently served as Ambassador to Italy, he listed it among his accomplishments on his official State Department profile. Although all of the programs with the Straight name are closed, the nonprofit Straight Foundation that funded them still exists, though under a different name. It's now called the Drug Free America Foundation, and it lobbies for drug testing and in support of tougher policies in the war on drugs.One of the plaintiffs in the current case against WWASPS, 21-year-old Chelsea Filer, spoke to me when I was researching a TV segment on the industry. She told me that she was forced to walk for miles on a track in scorching desert heat with a 35-pound sandbag on her back. "You were not allowed to scratch your face, move your fingers, lick your lips, move your eyes from the ground," she said. When she asked for a chapstick, "They put a piece of wood in my mouth and I had to hold it there for two weeks. I was bleeding on my tongue."Why was Filer subject to such punishment? "I had less interest in school and more interest in boys and my mom was worried about me," she says, explaining that her mother believed that the program was nothing more than a strict boarding school.Because she has attention deficit disorder, Filer was unable to consistently follow the exacting rules, and repeated small violations were seen as ongoing defiance. "It broke my heart that my mom had no belief in me," she says, describing how, because WWASPS had told her mother to dismiss complaints as "manipulation," her mother ignored her pleas to come home."I'm not a bad kid," she continued, "I never used drugs, I was never in trouble, I have no criminal record. I know my mom was worried about me—but so many times I told her that this is too much. I would gladly have gone to prison instead."WWASPS is linked with facilities Academy at Ivy Ridge (New York), Carolina Springs Academy (South Carolina), Cross Creek Programs (Utah), Darrington Academy (Georgia), Horizon Academy (Nevada), Majestic Ranch Academy (Utah), MidWest Academy (Iowa), Respect Camp (Mississippi), Royal Gorge Academy (Colorado), Spring Creek Lodge (Montana), and Tranquility Bay (Jamaica).Although it has settled several lawsuits out of court, the organization has never publicly admitted wrong-doing. However, the U.S. State Department spurred Samoa to investigate its Paradise Cove program in 1998 after receiving "credible allegations of physical abuse," including "beatings, isolation, food and water deprivation, choke-holds, kicking, punching, bondage, spraying with chemical agents, forced medication, verbal abuse and threats of further physical abuse." Paradise Cove closed shortly thereafter. That same year, the Czech Republic forced the closure of WWASP-linked Morava Academy following employees' allegations that teens were being abused.The former director of the Dundee Ranch Academy Program in Costa Rica went to local authorities after seeing medical neglect and other severe abuse, although human rights abuse charges were ultimately dropped against the owner, Robert Lichfield's brother Narvin. That program closed in 2003.Police in Mexico have shut down three WWASP-linked facilities: Sunrise Beach (1996), Casa By The Sea (2004) and High Impact (where police videotaped the teens chained in dog cages).In 2005, New York's Eliot Spitzer forced WWASP to return over $1 million to the parents of Academy at Ivy Ridge students, because the school had fraudulently claimed to provide legitimate New York high school diplomas. He fined Ivy Ridge $250,000, plus $2000 in court costs. A civil suit has been filed for educational fraud in New York as well, by a different law firm.Straight's Sembler currently heads the Scooter Libby Defense Fund, in addition to his work for Romney, and has worked tirelessly to keep the Vice President's former Chief of Staff out of prison, even after his conviction on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. After all, if running programs that impose these kinds of "treatments" on American teenagers is not a prison-worthy offense, why should lying to a court be?The Romney campaign is aware of the WWASP suits, and should be familiar with the Straight suits. If not, it's worth asking: Does Romney support these types of tactics for at-risk youth? Or does he take the line the organizations founded by his fundraisers take—that these dozens of lawsuits are merely from bad kids who make up lies?Coming from the man who wants to double the size of Guantanamo, these aren't insignificant questions. If Romney doesn't believe the aggressive tactics he supports for use against enemy combatants ought to be used against troubled teens and youth drug users, he should say so, and show he means it by removing these men from his campaign.Maia Szalavitz is author of Help At Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids (Riverhead, 2006) and a senior fellow at www.stats.org.

Project Monarch: Nazi Mind Controlhttp://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_mindcon02.htmby Ron Patton Programmers and PlacesIt's difficult to figure out who the original programmer of this satanic project was, due to the substantial amount of disinformation and cross-contamination propagated by the "powers that be." The two that went by the color-coded name of Dr. Green are a Jewish doctor named Dr. Gruenbaum, who supposedly collaborated with the Nazis during WWII, and Dr. Josef Mengele, whose trademark of cold blooded and calculating brutality has not only scarred the souls of survivors from Auschwitz, but also a countless number of victims throughout the world. Mengele's direct involvement at the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp was suspiciously downplayed during the Nuremberg Trials, and consequently no intensified effort by the U.S. and it's allies was directed toward his capture.[13]As a means to confuse serious investigators as to his whereabouts, U.S. officials would report Mengele being a non-threatening recluse in Paraguay or Brazil, or that he was simply dead (the "Angel of Death" miraculously must have come back to life at least five different times). His unprecedented research, at the expense of thousands of lives, undoubtedly was a significant bonus to U.S. interests. Besides using the pseudonym of Dr. Green, survivors knew him as Vaterchen (daddy), Schoner Josef (beautiful Joseph), David and Fairchild. A gracefully handsome man of slight stature, Mengele would disarm people with his gentle demeanor, while at other times, he would explode into violent rages.[14]Other characteristics remembered by survivors were the cadence of his shiny black boots as he paced back and forth and his "I-love-you/l-love-you-not" daisy game. When he pulled off the last daisy petal, he would maliciously torture and kill a small child in front of the other child he was programming. Distraught survivors also recalled being thrown naked into cages with monkeys, who were trained to viciously abuse them. Evidently, Mengele enjoyed reducing people to the level of animals. He also would purposely restrain his victims from crying, screaming, or showing any excessive emotion.Dr. D. Ewen Cameron, also known as Dr. White, was the former head of the Canadian, American and World Psychiatric Associations. Because of Cameron's extensive experience and credentials, the ClA's Allen Dulles funneled millions of dollars throughout organizations like the society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, which Cameron ruthlessly presided over. Experimentations were conducted at several locations in Montreal, mostly at McGill University, St Mary's Hospital and Allan Memorial Institute.Besides the conventional methods of psychiatric tyranny, such as electroshock drug injections and lobotomies, Cameron conceived the technique of "psychic driving," wherein unsuspecting patients were kept in a drug induced coma for several weeks and administered a regimen of electroshocks, while electronic helmets were strapped to their heads and repetitive auditory messages were transmitted at variable speeds.[15] Many of those exploited were abused children which had been run through the Roman Catholic orphanage system. Not surprisingly, Dr Cameron has been conveniently left out of most psychiatric journals. This may have been, in fact, largely due to Project MKULTRA being publicly exposed in 1970, through lawsuits filed by Canadian survivors and their families. The CIA and Canadian government settled out of court so as not to be required to officially admit to any wrongdoing. A former U.S. Army Lt. Col. in the DIA's psychological Warfare Division, Michael Aquino, is the latest in a line of alleged government-sponsored sadists. Aquino, an eccentric genius obsessed with Nazi pagan rituals, founded the Temple of Set, an offshoot of Anton LaVey's Church of Satan. Aquino was connected with the Presidio Army Base day care scandal, in which he was accused child molestation. Much to the dismay of the young victims' parents, all charges were dismissed. Code-named "Malcolm", Aquino was reported to have developed training tapes on how to create a MONARCH slave and worked as a liaison between Government/Military Intelligence and various criminal organizations and occult groups in the distribution of MONARCH slaves.[16] Heinrich Mueller was another important programmer who went under the code names "Dr. Blue" or "Gog." He apparently has two sons who have carried on the trade. The original "Dr. Black" was apparently Leo Wheeler, the nephew of deceased General Earle G. Wheeler, who was the commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs during the Vietnam War. Wheeler's protégé, E. Hummel is active in the Northwest, along with W. Bowers (from the Rothschild bloodline).Other alleged master mind manipulators, past and present, are: Dr. Sydney GottleibLt. Col John AlexanderRichard Dabney Anderson (USN)Dr. James MonroeDr. John LillyLt. Comdr. Thomas NarutDr William Jennings BryanDr. Bernard L. DiamondDr. Martin T. OrneDr. Louis J. WestDr Robert J. LiftonDr. Harris Isbel Col. Wilson GreenIn order to keep MKULTRA from being easily detected, the CIA segmented its subprojects into specialized fields of research and development at universities, prisons, private laboratories and hospitals. Of course, they were rewarded generously with government grants and miscellaneous funding.The names and locations of some of the major institutions involved in MONARCH programming experimentation were/are: CornellDukePrincetonUCLAUniversity of RochesterMITGeorgetown University HospitalMaimonides Medical CenterSt. Elizabeth's Hospital (Washington D.C.)Bell LaboratoriesStanford Research InstituteWestinghouse Friendship LaboratoriesGeneral ElectricARCO Mankind Research UnlimitedThe "final product" was/is usually created on military installations and bases, where maximum security is required. Referred to as (re) programming centers or near-death trauma centers
After reading all this I feel like throwing up.
MK Ultrahttp://www.whale.to/b/mkultra_q.htmlMKULTRA: http://www.whale.to/b/mk_ultra.htmlMKULTRA had about 139 to 150 sub-projects ... nobody knows what they all were, or even if that is the subtotal. It's the basic mind control project of the CIA after WWII. He has files on as many of these as he can possibly get. "I have in my possession about 80 of the 149 sub-project files which I obtained through FOIA, filing requests with the CIA on each deceased investigator of interest." (I like that.) The CIA, Mind Control & Children: A Talk by John Rappoport: http://www.whale.to/b/rappoport_i.html"As of 1997, a high level former Illuminati programmer said that she saw documents that indicated there were at LEAST two MILLION people in the USA who were programmed under MK Ultra or Monarch programming. Her info does not include the approximate 10 MILLION young people who were programmed under the earlier phase of the "Montauk Boys" style of electronic mind control programming (1999 information). The Montauk programming takes less than a week for a full blown program install and less than 30 minutes for a typical tune up' or to add new programming. You no longer have to program one person at a time. The electronic method can insert the programming information directly into the subconscious mind for an entire room full of programming victims. The newer electronic method of mind control will work equally well on boys or girls, whereby the earlier phases of the Montauk programming were trauma based and would only work properly for young boys, thus it acquired the name of Montauk "Boys". Today, there is a Montauk style electronic mind control programming center in EVERY MAJOR CITY IN THE UNITED STATES and they can easily crank out 1-2 million new 'recruits' each year, maybe more-maybe much more. I'm trying to remain conservative. What makes the mind control programming even more insidious and secretive is the use of the Montauk time tunnel. They take the kids from a point in time-let's say at 11 PM on Jan. 10, 2004. They will take the kid(s) into the time tunnel and deliver them to a programming center for maybe a week of programming. After the programming is completed, the kid will be REINSERTED in TIME to about one MILLISECOND after 11PM on Jan. 10. 2004. That person has just gone through ONE WEEK of mind control programming, but as far as HE knows, only one millisecond has passed in HIS time frame."--Ken Adachi: http://educate-yourself.org/lte/littletalepartB12jan04.shtmlWith the CIA and National Security Council firmly established, the first in a series of covert brain-washing programs was initiated by the Navy in the fall of 1947. Project CHATTER was developed .... The research focused on the identification and testing of such drugs for use in interrogations and the recruitment of agents.[5] The project was officially terminated in 1953. The CIA decided to expand their efforts in the area of behavior modification, with the advent of Project BLUEBIRD, approved by director Allen Dulles in 1950. Its objectives were to; (1) discover a means of conditioning personnel to prevent unauthorized extraction of information from them by known means, (2) investigate the possibility of control of an individual by application of special interrogation techniques, (3) investigate memory enhancement and (4) establish defensive means for preventing hostile control of agency personnel. In August 1951, Project BLUE BIRD was renamed Project ARTICHOKE, which evaluated offensive uses of interrogation techniques, including hypnosis and drugs The program ceased in 1956. Three years prior to the halt of Project ARTICHOKE, Project MKULTRA came into existence on April 13, 1953 along the lines proposed by Richard Helms, Deputy Director of Central Intelligence (DDCI) with the rationale of establishing a "special funding mechanism of extreme sensitivity."[6] .... A host of German doctors, procured from the post war Nazi talent pool, were an invaluable asset toward the development of MKULTRA. The correlation between the concentration camp experiments and the numerous sub-projects of MKULTRA are clearly evident. The various avenues used to control human behavior under MKULTRA included radiation, electroshock, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, anthropology, graphology, harassment substances and paramilitary devices and materials "LSD" being the most widely dispensed "material". A special procedure, designated MKDELTA, was established to govern the use of MKULTRA abroad. MKULTRA/DELTA materials were used for harassment, discrediting or disabling purposes.[8] Of the 149 subprojects under the umbrella of MKULTRA having been identified, Project MONARCH, officially begun by the U.S. Army in the early 1960's (although unofficially implemented much earlier) appears to be the most prominent and is still classified as TOP SECRET for "National Security" reasons.[9] MONARCH may have culminated from MKSEARCH subprojects, such as operation SPELLBINDER, which was set up to create "sleeper" assassins (i e. "Manchurian candidates") who could be activated upon receiving a key word or phrase while in a post-hypnotic trance. Operation OFTEN, a study which attempted to harness the power of occultic forces was possibly one of several cover programs to hide the insidious reality of Project MONARCH. Ron Patton( Project Monarch: Nazi Mind Control ): http://www.whale.to/b/patton.htmlOver two million Americans have been programmed by trauma-based mind control since 1947, & the CIA admitted its Mind Control publicly in 1970, and yet the existence of the mind-control is still secret to the general public. The Illuminati Formula Appendix I: The Programmers: http://www.whale.to/b/sp/app1.html Claudia Mullen, client of Valerie Wolf, reports to the Presidential Commission: "Between the years of 1957 and 1984 I became a pawn in a government scheme whose ultimate goal was mind control and to create the perfect spy. All through the use of chemicals, radiation, electroshock, hypnosis, drugs, isolation in tubs of water, sleep deprivation, brainwashing, and verbal, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I was exploited unwittingly for nearly three decades of my life, and the only explanation given to me was that 'the end justifies the means' and I was serving my country in their bold effort to fight communism. I can only summarize my circumstances by saying they took an already abused 7 year old child and compounded my suffering beyond belief. In 1958 I was to be tested, they told me, by some important doctors coming from a place called The Society [... that's the Human Ecology Society, a known CIA front]. I was told to cooperate, answer any of their questions, then since the tests might hurt, I would be given shots, xrays, and jolts of electricity. I was also instructed not to look in anyone's face too hard and to ignore names, as this was a very secret project ... but to be brave and all those things would help me forget. Naturally as most children do, I did the opposite, and remembered as much as I could. A Dr. John Gittinger http://www.whale.to/b/gittinger_h.html [Rapaport: these people in the testimony named names, they did not screw around ...] tested me and Dr. Cameron gave me the shocks, and Dr. Green, the xrays. Then I was told by Sid Gottlieb http://www.whale.to/b/gottlieb.html I was right for the Big A ... meaning Artichoke."

HistoryThe center was founded as the Behavior Research Institute in 1971 by Matthew L. Israel, a psychologist who trained with B. F. Skinner.[1] In 1994 the center changed its name to the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center "to honor the memory of the judge [who] helped to preserve [the] program from extinction at the hands of state licensing officials in the 1980s."[1]

From the promo that was aired during the World Series this week, we know Jack has decided to move back to LA to be with Kim and his *ahem* granddaughter. He's retired from the government, but then receives a tip that a UN ambassador is about to be shot. Then all hell breaks loose. It's tick... tick... tick... tick... again.
Recently, I heard Rush Limbaugh, an avid 24 fan, put in a plug for the upcoming season. Did you know Rush has been on the 24 set in previous seasons? He's also friends with Vince Flynn, author of a book series similar to 24. The 24 writers have consulted Flynn on show content.

Fisher's campus gives you little reason to leave, but venturing outside Ohio State University's community reminds you that Columbus is a vibrant and growing city that offers plenty of attractions and activities to keep you busy. I have gotten to know the city of Columbus very well while training for the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon, which will be held in downtown Columbus on Sunday, October 20th.
My training runs have taken me down the Olentangy River Trail, a 13.75 mile bike path that follows the Olentangy River and runs right through Ohio State's campus and into downtown Columbus. The marathon itself will run down Broad Street, which is lined with the Art Museum and Franklin Park Conservatory.
After passing the Governor's Mansion – and The Ohio State President's house! – runners will go through German Village and up High Street towards Ohio State's campus and a quick tour through the Stadium at Mile 16.
The race continues through Grandview, with its picturesque boutiques and shops, then wraps up through Victorian Village's mansion lined Neil Avenue and Goodale Park to end in front of the Blue Jackets' stadium in Nationwide Arena. And the best part: all runners are supporting the Nationwide Children's Hospital. The marathon has been a great way to learn more about my city and help me feel connected to the broader Columbus community. I cannot wait to participate again next year. Until then, you can find me on the trail! Happy running!

Saudi Religious Police: Anyone Using Twitter 'Has Lost This World And His Afterlife'
from the that-serious,-huh? deptA couple of days ago Techdirt wrote about how Murong Xuecun, a well-known user of the Chinese microblog Sina Weibo with over a million followers, had his account closed down suddenly. Murong has now written a fine article about the background to what happened: he points out that the deletion of his account looks to be part of a larger clampdown on the use of microblogging services by well-known figures who are critical of the Chinese government. The problem for the latter is that these services are becoming a real channel for free expression and less-than-perfectly-censored information:
Individuals are silenced on daily basis, and the pool of sensitive words grows by the hour: Liu Xiaobo, Gao Xingjian, Ai Weiwei, Wei Jingsheng, Liao Yiwu, Ma Jian, Mo Zhixu, Xiao Shu … The list goes on. It now includes me, as well as two more scholars who have since been silenced: Wu Wei and Wu Zuolai, whose accounts were deleted on the morning of 13 May. Lurking in the shadows, the "relevant organs" carry out such work as part of their daily routine, and expect people to remain silent. They have perhaps failed to foresee that in the age of Weibo, their actions could trigger such a severe backlash. To this, they responded with more censorship.Given the problems that even China is having with controlling such services, it's no surprise that other nations are getting nervous. Here's a story from the BBC about what Saudi Arabia is doing in an attempt to counter the threat from Twitter:
The head of Saudi Arabia's religious police has warned citizens against using Twitter, which is rising in popularity among Saudis.The Saudi authorities are evidently grappling with exactly the same issues as the Chinese government:
Sheikh Abdul Latif Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said anyone using social media sites -- and especially Twitter -- "has lost this world and his afterlife".
Many Saudis have seized on Twitter as the most immediate and effective way to open little windows into a traditionally opaque society.The situation in Saudi Arabia is complicated by the fact that the well-known Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bought a $300 million stake in Twitter back in 2011. That doubtlessly explains in part the following comments he made recently using his own Twitter account, quoted in an article from CNN:
Recent protests in the Eastern Province have been tweeted and images of human rights activists on trial have been uploaded directly from courtrooms, challenging many taboos.
Dear Saudi Telecommunication Authority, social media is a tool for the people to make the government hear their voices. Just thinking of blocking them is a losing war, and a way to put more pressure on the citizensAs Twitter continues to gain market share -- already standing at a massive 51% of all Internet users in Saudi Arabia according to the CNN piece -- it will be interesting to see whose view prevails there: that of the religious police or a secular prince.

Ryder Cup player Oliver Wilson leads a European Tour event for the first time since November 2008 after a sublime seven under par 65 in the second round of the Madeira Islands Open – Portugal.
The Englishman, who lost his European Tour card after finishing 130th in The Race to Dubai last year, showed signs he is rediscovering his best form, having not dropped a shot in two rounds at Santo da Serra to lead by one from Swedish pair Magnus A Carlsson and Joakim Lagergren, who both had two rounds of 66, and England's Andy Sullivan, who shone with a 64.
Wilson has made eight appearances so far this season – six as a sponsor's invitation – but has made just €22,084, so he is particularly pleased to be leading the way as he attempts to win a maiden European Tour title. The last time he was in pole position on The European Tour was after 54 holes of the 2008 Hong Kong Open (part of the 2009 International Schedule).
"I played nicely," said the 31 year old, who was in the European Team at the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla. "The fact I haven't had a bogey for two rounds shows I'm playing solidly and sensibly.
"I actually feel like I left a few out there today. I missed three putts from inside six feet. But I made a couple of really good par saves – not from bad shots, just because the course is tricky.
"There's a long way to go and the scoring will carry on being low, but I'll keep pushing on trying to make birdies. There will inevitably be some mistakes at the weekend but it's just a question of trying to limit them. You've got to be patient.
"The course is playing very differently from how it was yesterday. It's a lot softer today and the ball is stopping very quickly on the greens, which wasn't the case yesterday. It was easier hitting into the greens today."
Wilson, who has finished runner-up nine times in his European Tour career, credited a technical alteration for his better form, adding: "I changed the loft in my putter and it is working. The less I think about the set-up the better, and if you are standing over putts and know they are rolling well, it makes a big difference."
Sullivan, a Walker Cup player in 2011, also had a bogey-free day and attributed his superb round, which featured six birdies and an eagle, to an improved putting technique.
"It's just great to see the ball rolling into the hole," said the 24 year old. "It makes a nice change. I saw (putting coach) Phil Kenyon last Friday and we've changed a few things technique-wise, and it seems to be paying off.
"I'm hitting the ball nicely too. It's the first time I've been in this position so I'm just going to take it as it comes and try and enjoy it. The only thing I can do is keep doing what I've been doing, as it's worked so far.
"I'd heard a lot about this event from the other guys - about how bad the weather can be and the delays - but it's been excellent so far and I'm enjoying it."
Lagergren is another player who is new to The European Tour, and the 20 year old Qualifying School graduate is delighted with the way he is playing.
"My ball striking is the best aspect of my game this week," said the rookie, whose stepfather is Ola Eliasson, the former European Tour player. "I played really badly in the final round in Seville last week so it is nice to be playing better.
"I hit lots of greens in regulation today and I just played solidly all round. It's the first time I've played this course. It's a funny course – very slopey, but that's not a negative.
"I've made four cuts in a row coming here so I'm feeling very confident. I'm really enjoying my first year on Tour and the other guys are looking after me."
Ricardo Santos, a graduate from the 2011 Challenge Tour, is the leading Portuguese player at nine under, while Nuno Henriques delighted the home crowds with an albatross at the par five 11th, holing his second shot with a four iron.

While this may be a bit much of a commitment for someone who has never played the game, this is perfect for the person who may have played a friend's copy and is looking to get started with their own Carcassonne game. This is a fantastic deal and, in my limited knowledge, is presently the only way to get "The River" expansion.
While the River may seem like a small, simple thing there's a reason that it was included in earlier editions of the base game. Using the river tends to lead to much tighter, compact maps that, in turn, increase the direct competition for position and placement in the game. It truly is a very different feel from the straight base set.
Really though, even if you've never played and are just thinking about Carcassonne, get this. You'll want the expansions as soon as you play your first game. Now you'll have them.
First of all this is a GREAT game I played with three of my friends and the game didn't take that long at all we didn't play with the expansions but I'm sure that it will be MORE fun I highly recommend this game I know I didn't say much but this game is just FUN.
Ok SO I am a huge fan of Carcassonne, so much so that I commissioned a leather smith to create a handy carry pouch for my Carcassonne game. The bag is not yet finished, but I wanted to be able to carry the WHOLE game at once on hikes, and on other outdoor activities like to the Md. Renaissance Festival or the Shore-Leave convention. But I also wanted to be able to compartmentalize the game so that I could have it kept in it's separate components.
When the leather smith made it clear the bag would be way to expensive for that I opted for a large chamber that can hold all of the tiles (base game and all expansions). Yet I still wanted to be able to take the expansions out. Currently I have both the Big Box and the original plus all of it's various expansions. Why you ask? Simple, I've had all the expansions mixed in with my basic Carcassonne since I got them but, sometimes I don't want to play all the expansions at once, which can detract from the game, and make it take longer to finish.
As it is now my "mixed" Carcassonne game is 205 tiles large and takes about 90 minutes to play with 2 players and only observing the Traders & Builders rules but then, add 15 minutes for each rules set you DON'T ignore after that. So now observing all rules and expansions you're looking at a game that can take up to 3 hours to complete, which is 1 game of Axis & Allies! ONE!!!! So, to simply ignore certain rules is a good way to play with all the tiles mixed up, but then you forget which rules to ignore, or you forget and ignore rules you meant to observe. So I've always wanted a way to bring the game "back to its basics". The Big Box let's you do that. At first I thought it would just be all the expansions in separate boxes as sold in the store, but that's not the case. What you get are all the games mentioned on the cover, minus all the extra boxes and cardboard. You have to pop each tile away from it's cardboard tree and then put them together in separate slots. It's ingenious this set.
are separate places for each set of expansions, and one large area to hold the base game
tiles. There are also 2 large wells to hold all the meeples, and wooden tower pieces as well as
a spot to hold the Tower itself. There is a small section to hold all the 50/100 scoring tiles,
and the main Starter Tile....apparently this is meant to be kept out of the game when using
the River I expansion, however my friends and I have been using the starter tile as a normal
tile and have had no paradoxes as yet. The ingenious part is that....every tile (except for the
original tiles) has a symbol on it's face to identify which expansion it was a part of. In this
way you can easily take those tiles out when you put the game away. Now of course it's
going to make putting the game away take a bit longer, but so what? Here's what you can
do... put all the tiles away without segregating them by expansion (speedy put up), and when
you play the next time you can remove those expansions you choose not to use. OR! You can
simply be completely anal about your games as I am and separate them after each game
(slow put up), making sure each expansion set gets put into it's proper slot. What you don't
get with this game are quite a few things;
You do not get
1) The cloth bag as originally offered in the Traders & Builders set.
2) The King & Scout expansion set.
3) The Count Of Carcassonne expansion set.
4) The River II expansion set.
5) The Cathars (Die Katharer) expansion set and.
6) The new 12 tile set from the #11 Games Quarterly (GQ#11) magazine.
Otherwise you are getting a good value in buying this set.
The main drawback is this....I did go ahead and buy the Count of Carcassonne, River II, King & Scout, and the Games Quarterly #11 expansion for the Big Box, and guess what???? I don't think this boxed set was thought of by Hans Im Glück because they would have made room (niches) to hold all the other expansions too!!!! While there is ample room inside the compartmentalized interior to hold all the expansions (even those not yet produced) they won't have their own niche as those tiles which come in the set do. In adding the 12 new GQ#11 tiles (actually only 10 since 2 are river expansions) the main tile area is now filled to capacity and can hold no more tiles and in fact not ALL of the tiles now fit in this niche. There is room in the expansion set niches to hold more tiles (1 or 2 each max.) but I choose not to mix the expansions with the base tiles until it's game time now. The other drawback is that there is NO and I do mean NO special area to hold the River I expansion. This is disturbing to me as the River I (If you play it) must be laid down first and therefore must remain separate from the main tiles just as the original Starter Tile must remain separate. Rio Grande is obviously the main proprietor behind this boxed set, and they did a great job, however it does need a little tweaking.
So is it worth it to you? If you already have the basic game and all the expansions don't bother with this. If you want to give it to a friend who's interested in it, but unfamiliar with all the expansions this is a great gift for that. If you hate trying to separate your current version of Carcassonne from any, or all of the expansions this is the set to get. Or if you are a masochist and want to double the size (and playing time) of your game you can get this and add it to your other games if you wish. I read somewhere (in the Spielbox mag I think) that someone somewhere played a Carcassonne game with more than 5,500 tiles! 5-THOUSAND!!!! I don't know about all that but I do know this set is worth having. Personally I now own two sets, 1 travel set (for the leather pouch) with every expansion including the GQ#11 and Die Katharer expansions to take with me. And the Big Box to keep at home, and keep as the modular set, all I need for the Big Box is Die Katharer....by the way guys I'm the one who bought the last Die Katharer here, sorry but don't worry It's coming out soon from Rio Grande as an expansion set later this year!
Oh and if you have both the River II and the new GQ#11 tiles you can make a "Three-Rivers" starting scene, I've tried it, it adds a definite new "dimension" to the game. Here's how I work it. There are 2 methods you can try.
Three Rivers Set Up:
A) Put the 3 sources "back to back" in such a way that each travels away from the other, following the standard placement rules for tiles. This means making the GQ#11 source be the "backbone" surrounded on the left and right by the other 2 sources. Or....
B) Place the sources 1 tile apart in a line using the "Pond" tiles as temporary spacers until the end of the 3-Rivers set-up phase. Placing the Spacers ("Pond" Tiles) "Grey Side" up will alleviate any confusion. Or you can use the 50/100 tiles as spacers until such a time as suitable "playable" tiles can fit into the "spacers" place.
1) For 2, 4, 5 or 6 players, each player in turn must place a tile on a river segment in a
clockwise fashion. There are no "U-turns" allowed and you do not use the "T-Intersection".
You may not place a tile on a river that has just been added to, in this fashion it becomes less
likely to create any paradoxes. The last player to place the "Volcano" starts the game with
the next tile from the bag or tower. If you are observing the Dragon expansion the dragon
comes out, the player moves him, then finishes with his first tile from the tower.
2) For 3 players, each player picks a river to complete. Place your builder (temporarily) on the source of the river you choose. Players take turns placing a river tile on their river only. If a player cannot legally place a river tile, he selects again until he can legally add to his river. Player MAY NOT place river tiles on an opponents river. The player who places the "Volcano" tile first starts the game. If you are observing the Dragon expansion the dragon comes out and the player moves him, then takes his turn.

Members of the GAP club at Hillsboro High School worked hard Tuesday to create a pleasant shopping experience for girls in need of prom dresses.
Big pink bows, pink streamers, and beaded ropes transformed the entrance into Wiebe Media Center at the high school into a shoppers' paradise, complete with mood music and confectionary treats.
The goal was to make prom dress shopping less stressful and more enjoyable, and for Arianna Ciero and her mother, Angela, the choices were promising.
"I'm just looking for something that catches my eye," Arianna said. "I've been invited to a home-school prom and hope to find something here to wear."
Several dresses caught Ciero's eye, including a black sparkly number with spaghetti straps and an interesting back line.
"Many of the dresses are brand-new," said Janet Whisenhunt, who helped organize the shopping event. "Some are donated after being worn only once, others we went out and purchased with monetary donations we have received."
At least four racks were jammed with brightly colored dresses in a variety of different lengths and styles.
Though the two planned open dates for Cinderella's Closet have passed, prom dress shoppers can still peruse the offerings by making a private appointment. Those interested may call the Hillsboro High School office at (620) 947-3991 for showing times.

The Russell 2000 and the ETF tracking that small-cap benchmark closed under their 200-day moving averages on Tuesday -- something they haven't done since November 2012.
This provides another sign that investors are losing some of their appetite for the stock market's small fry -- its riskier plays.
The Russell 2000 almost broke its record for consecutive closes above the 200-day line. But like Leon Lett in Super Bowl XXVI, the index came up just shy of its goal.
Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research, had been watching for a new record, as noted in a Tell post last week. On Tuesday, he said on Twitter:
Another closely watched ETF that showed weakness Tuesday was the Global X Social Media ETF .
SOCL had its lowest close since July 31, weighed down by Twitter's big slide after a lock-up period ended.
This exchange-traded fund is among the tech ETFs that practically have turned into market indicators lately.

This rainbow on the moon is a combination of two factors. The first is an optical phenomenon that happens when the sun is directly overhead, the second is the filters on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
As the LRO circles the moon, taking pictures, it occasionally runs into a phenomenon known as an opposition surge. The opposition surge occurs only when the sun is directly behind the orbiter. This amps the brightness levels considerably, because the angle of the sun makes it impossible for the LRO to see any shadows on the ground, and as the sunlight reflects from the surface, it constructively interferes with itself. The wavelengths of light converge at their peaks, amplifying and amplifying. NASA offers an explanation as to why they form a rainbow.
But why does the image above have a rainbow? Because each filter observes different pieces of the ground at different time, it observes the opposition surge at a slightly different time. When the observations from the separate filters are combined to a single color image, this shifting bright spot is seen as a rainbow. This is the same image, taken at a darker time of day.

Worst experience ever. Ordered on 16/08/2017 and estimated ship date was 21/08/2017, it's 06/09/2017 now and there is still no info when item will be shipped. Tried to contact pixels.com twice via contact form, no answer. Charger supposed to be gift for my father's birthday on 09/09/2017 but you managed to ruin it. Since I tried to contact You via contact form, and got no result. I hope that you'll read this comment and return me my money, since you failed to deliver product which is now useless to me because you weren't able to provide any info for couple of weeks

I bought this for my sister who is graduating soon. She spends a lot of time on her cell phone, and I thought this would be a personal and usefu giftl. The image is a bit dark but over all nice quality. The charger came with some charge (blue light came on). It looks easy to use, and I'm eager to see how my sister likes it!
A Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil, often pebble-shaped, that is composed of a fossilized coral made by glaciers. They are found in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the northwestern portion of Michigan's lower peninsula.
"Express your ability sincerely and that is art." In my work I emphasize quality, integrity and spontaneity. Since childhood I have found solace in the creation of art. It is my gift and I try not to waste it. My media of choice are oil painting, sculpture and photography. For me, the three disciplines borrow from each other making each one stronger! Having been a professional picture framer since 1990, the presentation aspect of the art world is always on my mind. It is amazing what a great frame can do. Co-owning Four Corners Framing Company in Holland, Michigan since 1999 has afforded me a front row seat to many types and styles of art. It has been a great and constant inspiration and keeps me on my art toes. You can visit...

Cannes 2012: Is 'Sapphires' a fine gem or costume jewelry?
Last week at this time, even attentive Cannes-goers hadn't heard of "The Sapphires," an Australian comedy about an Aboriginese singing troupe that's directed by an unknown and featured no prominent stars.
But as is often the case at a festival, Wayne Blair's 1968-set movie -- which centers on a quartet of struggling Aussie singers who find unlikely fame in Vietnam performing for U.S. troops -- vaulted from obscurity in the blink of an eye. And as is also often the case at festivals, Harvey Weinstein was the reason for the jump.
As Cannes was getting underway last Wednesday, Weinstein bought the movie's U.S. distribution rights -- he would go on to pick up three movies in three days -- putting the film on the map for festival-goers. On Saturday "The Sapphires'" stock rose further after a spirited premiere screening that saw the unknown Australians who play the singers (Deborah Mailman, Jessica Mauboy, Shari Sebbens and Miranda Tapsell) as well as Irish actor Chris O'Dowd (who plays their manager) get rousing ovations.
Weinstein stoked the flame further when, later that night at a party for his Cannes film "Lawless," he walked up to a reporter and, grabbing the reporter's arm, said: "Have you seen 'The Sapphires'? 'The Artist' just happened again."
Fans of the film said that while it may be a little too soon to make that proclamation, the movie's music, comedy and feel-good premise position it strongly for breakout success.
But not all Cannes-goers were on board. Around the festival's parties Saturday night and the screening halls Sunday morning, some said the whole thing had the feeling of classic Weinstein showmanship. While the naysayers acknowledged that the film (which is not yet dated for release) had crowd-pleasing elements, it was nothing that hadn't been done before or better in working-man comedies like "The Full Monty."
And others pointed out that it was unlikely to get anywhere close to the critical support of "The Artist." Indeed, a quick survey of critics around Cannes suggested that the film did not measure up to the festival's top offerings. As Variety critic Justin Chang tweeted a few hours after he had seen Michael Haneke's "Love," "A film like 'Love' reminds you of the folly of festivals. Went straight to 'Sapphires' afterward, resented having Haneke's spell broken."
Festivals are often about the delicate game of managing expectations. The same movie can be a masterpiece or a disappointment depending on whether people see it believing it should or will be great. Weinstein has now set the bar high. We'll see if he meets it...or moves on to another acquisition.
