The US's political discourse and foreign policy in recent years has been based on the assumption that Osama bin Laden is still alive. George W. Bush promised as president that he would get Osama bin Laden "dead or alive" and has been widely criticized for failing to do so. The US's present military escalation in Afghanistan is said to be necessary to "get Osama bin Laden." The news media regularly announce the appearance of new "messages from bin Laden." But what if Osama bin Laden died in December 2001—which is the last time a message to or from him was intercepted? In this book, David Ray Griffin examines the evidence for the claim—made by everyone from former CIA agent Robert Baer to Oliver North—that bin Laden is surely no longer with us. He analyzes the purported messages from bin Laden and finds that, as many have suspected, they do not provide evidence of bin Laden's existence after 2001. This leads naturally to the question: if Osama bin Laden did indeed die in 2001, how and why have dozens of "messages from bin Laden" appeared since then? Griffin's meticulous analysis supports above all one simple and urgent conclusion: if Osama bin Laden is dead, the US should not be using its troops and treasure to hunt him down.
David Ray Griffin has published 35 books on philosophy, religion, and politics. His most recent book, The New Pearl Harbor Revisited, was a Publishers Weekly "Pick of the Week" in 2008.
Olive Branch Press
Media ReviewsDavid Ray Griffin, one of Americas most careful and judicious political analysts, specializes in subjects the mainstream media and most politicians prefer to ignore. Three cheers to him now for taking on the question of whether Osama bin Laden died some years ago and should therefore no longer be a reason for the United States to continue its war in Afghanistan. There are powerful forces both in the United States and some of its allies that undoubtedly want a clash of civilizations. Some of these forces may well have acted secretly in the past, and may still be working, to create situations, real or false, to bring about more warfare. Griffins new book, with its evidence that messages from bin Laden may have been fabricated, should encourage a complete rethinking of the mission in Afghanistan.William Christison, former senior CIA official
Osama bin Laden is the worlds best-known terrorist, but how much of what we think we know about him is real? David Griffin examines this question in greater depth than any previous author. Based on the evidence, he suggests that bin Laden may have been dead for some time. If so, this means that some covert operators have been fabricating tapes to keep Osama bin Laden alive in the publics imagination."Terrell E. Arnold, former deputy director of the US State Department Office of Counterterrorism, author of A World Less Safe
This book is part of a growing body of nonfiction that illuminates the cataclysmic gap between those with power, who do as they please, and those with knowledge, who are not heard.
President Obama [must] break out of the closed circle of power to connect with the kind of independent knowledge found in this book
Robert David Steele Vivas, recovering spy, founder of the USMC Intelligence Center, CEO of OSS.Net, and CEO of Earth Intelligence Network
"After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, one of the reasons for George W. Bush's invasion of Afghanistan was to uproot al Qaeda and "get" its leader, Osama bin Laden, "dead or alive." President Bush was widely criticized by his opponents, including presidential candidate Obama, for failing to achieve this objective. Why has the United States, with its massive intelligence apparatus and military might, not been able to apprehend bin Laden? In this provocative book, Griffin (codirector, Ctr. for Process Studies, Claremont Sch. of Theology: The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions), a leading conspiracy theorist on the subject of 9/11, seeks to solve this puzzle by asking, What if Osama bin Laden is no longer alive? He points out that the last time a message to or from bin Laden was intercepted was December 2001. Using a vast array of public statements and writings by public figures, military analysts, and former CIA officials and relying on publicly available data, Griffin deconstructs the report of the 9/11 Commission and highlights its omissions. He also examines purported messages from bin Laden since 2001 and finds little evidence that these in fact have come from bin Laden himself. VERDICT After presenting evidence worth pondering about bin Laden's possible demise, Griffin concludes more broadly by evaluating the policy implications of pursuing a debilitating war in Afghanistan. His highly recommended work is worth consideration by both general readers and students of 21st-century international affairs."Library Journal
"David Ray Griffin...has written a series of books questioning the official interpretation of 9/11. Here he turns his forensic powers to the question of whether or not Osama bin Laden is dead...setting out evidence that he died in 2001 and that all purported communications since that time have been fabricated...It seems likely that the intelligence services and governments deliberately distorted the situation in order to pursue political objectives embodied in the so-called war on terror...but this book gives readers the necessary background information to reach their own conclusions. Scientific and Medical Network Review, (UK)
"Having gathered a following outside academia for his books questioning the standard narrative of the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Griffin (emeritus, Claremont School of Theology) here questions whether Osama bin Laden is still alive. He concludes that bin Laden most likely died in 2001 and that subsequent messages from bin Laden have been faked, possibly as part of a psychological operations effort intended to maintain American public support for the war.

Monitoring Mountain
State Raccoons
By Rich Rogers
Since the days when log cabins were shelters of choice
and a fair number of Native Americans inhabited the state's as yet
unfounded borders, West Virginia has had a love affair with hunting raccoons.
Although no longer hunted out of necessity, the tradition of hunting raccoons
with dogs, whether they be hounds or curs, is still very much alive in
the Mountain State. Today, West Virginia hunters spend more time in pursuit
of raccoons than any other furbearer in the state.
With heavy hunting pressure on raccoons being the norm in West Virginia,
it has become increasingly important to monitor changes in raccoon population
densities to assist biologists in management planning and decision making.
Actual raccoon population estimates are difficult to obtain and most states
have had to be satisfied with simple indices of relative abundance. Indices
can provide an idea of whether populations are increasing or decreasing,
but are not estimates of actual numbers of animals.
In the past, fur buyer reports were the main means of monitoring trends
in raccoon and other furbearer numbers in West Virginia. These reports
were unreliable due to the effects of the fluctuating nature of the fur
market on both sale and harvest of raccoon pelts. It is especially difficult
to extract useful information from these reports during periods of low
or changing fur prices.
In 1992, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources in cooperation
with the West Virginia Coon Hunters Association initiated a survey to
monitor raccoon population trends using scorecard information obtained
from competitive coonhound field trials. Field trials, or "nite
hunts" as they are known by competition hunters, are held year-round
in most counties of the state. These hunts are sanctioned by national
organizations such as the United Kennel Club and the Professional Kennel
Club. Clubs holding hunts participate in the survey on a voluntary basis.
Hunts involve a detailed scoring system based on trail striking, tracking,
and treeing abilities of coonhounds. The hunts are strictly timed at one
or two hours and numbers of raccoons seen are recorded on scorecards.
Information gathered for a survey year is averaged to indicate the number
of raccoons per two hours of hunting time. This measure of hunting success
is calculated for different socio-ecological regions of West Virginia.
Two hours is used since this is by far the most common type of hunt held
by the clubs.
Four regions of West Virginia were delineated based on past habitat studies,
ecological zones and observations of biologists on raccoon hunter densities
and hunting pressure on the raccoon resource:
• Region 1. Northern panhandle and northern hills -- contains fair
raccoon habitat and moderate hunter density.
• Region 2. Southern coal fields and surrounding areas -- contains
poor raccoon habitat and highest density of raccoon hunters in West Virginia.
• Region 3. Remote, high mountain region -- contains poor to fair
raccoon habitat with low to moderate hunter density.
• Region 4. Eastern panhandle -- contains fair to good raccoon habitat
with low to moderate hunter density.
Since its inception in 1992, an average of 27 coon clubs have participated
in the survey each year. This represents 65 percent of all clubs present
in any given year. Results were obtained from an average of 85 hunts per
year statewide representing 43 percent of all sanctioned hunts listed.
A total of 10,721 hours from more than 1,000 hunts have been surveyed
to date.
Twelve years of data indicate that long-term trends in raccoon numbers
are stable to slightly increasing. Hunting success statewide has ranged
from 1.4 to 2 raccoons seen per 2 hours of hunting time and has averaged
1.66. Slight increases in hunting success are noted for Regions 2, 3,
and 4. These increases are most probably due to depressed fur markets
and concurrent lower harvests of raccoons leaving more raccoons in the
woods. Of course, this also assumes that hunting success as depicted by
the field trial survey accurately reflects raccoon densities.
Actual hunting success has compared favorably well with predicted hunting
success for each region with the highest success being found in Region
1. The big exception has been Region 4 – the eastern panhandle.
Containing West Virginia's best raccoon habitat, this region shows
consistently low hunting success. This may be partly explained by the
presence of rabies in the area which may be keeping raccoon densities
low. It was predicted that hunting success would be low, but not as low
as indicated by the survey. Prior to the initial rabies outbreak in the
late 1970s, hunters reported treeing high numbers of raccoons in this
Also of note is Region 2, in southern West Virginia which has yielded
low hunting success from year to year. Concurrently, it has actually shown
the steadiest hunting success in the 12 years since the start of the survey
with no dramatic fluctuations. This region has traditionally been considered
our poorest raccoon habitat and contains the greatest number of raccoon
hunters of all four regions. Overharvest and illegal killing have been
historic problems in Region 2. Low fur prices are probably helping raccoon
numbers to rebound in this region more than any other.
Hunters in Region 2 are reminded to refrain from illegally stocking raccoons
as an answer to the problem of low numbers of raccoons. Moving diseased
individuals into the area is a very real possibility. Additionally, if
stocking was the answer to raccoon density problems in southern West Virginia,
this area should have the best raccoon hunting in the state. It is very
probable that more raccoons have been stocked by hunters in this region
than anywhere else in West Virginia with very little long-term benefit.
The answer lies in protecting what is already there to allow native raccoons
to fill available habitat.
One problem associated with the survey is that hunting success may be
somewhat inflated by the high use of "feeder buckets" or bait
stations in areas where hunts are conducted. A recent survey of West Virginia
coon hunters indicated that 61 percent of competition hunters surveyed
hunted from baited sites to increase chances of contacting raccoons during
field trials. As long as use of bait stations is consistent throughout
all four survey regions, differences in hunting success between regions
can still be considered valid. Hunters have been repeatedly cautioned
that baiting increases the risk of spreading diseases such as distemper
and rabies in raccoon populations and should be discontinued.
In 2001, a Raccoon Pleasure Hunter Survey was added to supplement data
obtained from the Raccoon Field Trial Survey. This survey uses noncompetitive
hunt information and includes data gathered during the kill season, thus
yielding age and sex data as well. Unfortunately, very little of this
data has been gathered to date. More volunteers are needed. This information
will hopefully add to the value of the survey as a tool in making management
Managing raccoon populations, like that of any other wildlife species,
should be based on facts as supported by good science. The Raccoon Field
Trial Survey represents a solid step in this direction. Raccoon hunting
clubs are to be applauded for taking the time to participate in this survey
to help insure the future of their sport and the health of the raccoon
Any clubs or individual wishing to participate in either of these surveys
should contact:

Indiana center Roy Hibbert and the organization are currently holding in-person and virtual auditions for fans to win tickets Area 55, a cheering section for Hibbert at Pacers home games. Ben Schwartz, who stars as Jean-Ralphio on "Parks and Recreation" and is pals with Hibbert, should be the frontrunner with this hilarious audition tape.
Schwartz starts out by claiming that he is Hibbert's biggest fan because he has Hibbert's All-Star jersey and he's seen all of Hibbert's games. Then, to prove his fanhood, he turns the camera to show that he has actually kidnapped Hibbert. The 7-footer is there and plays along wonderfully.
See the video here.
Hibbert is a diehard fan of "Parks and Recreation" and even went out of his way to guest star on the show. He said that he and Schwartz have become friends, and he tries to see Schwartz's comedy shows whenever he is in Los Angeles.

Right-hander Josh Stinson will be making his Orioles debut and his second major league start this afternoon against the Blue Jays.
The 25-year-old Stinson arrived in Baltimore yesterday andwas officially recalled from Triple-A Norfolk before today's game. The club also optioned right-handed reliever Alex Burnett, who was here for two games to provide bullpen depth, back to Norfolk. Burnett will be available to pitch for the Tides on Thursday.
The Orioles will go for their first series sweep of the season. After winning the first two games of the series, they've won nine of their past 11 games here at Camden Yards.
The O's have won five of their last six games and are 9-4 wins April 10, the best record in the American League in that span.
Some other items of note:
-- Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he doesn't expect an update today on Dylan Bundy's visit to Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on right arm tightness that's been ailing the top prospect since last month.
-- Right-hander Steve Johnson is starting in this afternoon's game for Norfolk. He's slated to go five innings. So far, Johnson had allowed four runs on six hits over 4 innings, striking out two and walking one. He's pitching against former Orioles pitcher Jason Berken in Charlotte.
-- For the year, the Orioles are third in the AL in fielding (.990) and since April 14, they are first in the AL (.997). The Orioles haven't committed an error in 10 games, their last error coming on Adam Jones' dropped fly ball in New York on April 12.

A Guide to Restaurants in Oxford Street W1.
Oxford Street
Oxford Street is famous the world-over for its vast array of shops and being on the Monopoly board next to (as in life) the more upmarket Bond Street and Regent Street. Shoppers flock to the 1.25 mile West London Street to make it Europe's busiest (which reaches fever pitch in the weeks leading up to Christmas). Of course, Christmas shoppers need sustenance and there is no shortage of eateries on and around Oxford Street. You could kill two birds with one stone and eat on the go or in a department store like Selfridges, John Lewis or the flagship M&S. Or, if you have a bit more time, try out one of the following...
Around the Tottenham Court/Charing Cross Road end of Oxford Street, you are only a 5 minute walk away from the heart of Soho. Hakkasan, Busaba Eathai and Bertorelli's remain very popular restaurants.
In the middle, near Oxford Circus and Bond Street tube stations are upmarket Mayfair restaurants such as Gordon Ramsay's at Claridges, Sketch and Rhodes W1.
And at the Marble Arch end we have Le Gavroche and Maze Grill plus all the Middle-Eastern delights of Edgware Road.

Ripe's Honeydew Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
Get the Recipe
Equal parts salad salad and fruit salad, this Honeydew Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing from Cheryl Sternman Rule's Ripe is going to be seeing quite a lot of action over the spring and summer months.
As you can see from Paulette Phlipot's gorgeous photo, globes of honeydew, half moons of cucumber, and little halved grapes are dressed with a sweet and slightly tart dressing of honey, lime, and poppy seeds, and the combo is killer.
What Worked: Bringing three shades of pale green fruits and vegetables together and dappling them with poppy seeds makes for a salad that's not only lovely to behold but thrilling to taste.
What Didn't: Not a thing, this salad is just about perfect.
Suggested Tweaks: If monochromatic food isn't your thing, a few balls of watermelon would brighten things up quite nicely.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of 'Ripe' to give away.

Every avid showgoer knows there are several cars and certain modifications you can always expect to see. But every once in a while, a car arrives on the scene that breaks the mold, exceeding expectations by bringing something new to the table.
This can only apply to cars that are rarely seen, such as Nick Silva's '95 Audi 90 quattro. And with every inch modified to suit the owner's taste, it raised the bar when it finally made its public debut.
The story began in '08. After scouring the forums, Nick found a car he could fall for. "I like older cars, especially from the '80s and early '90s," he said. "The 90 is perfect because it has an older shape with modern touches."
In its time, the 90 was what Audi considered its entry-level sedan. With its performance, durability and interior options, it was a great starter car but with high-end comfort. "I've always loved German cars," Nick explained. "I originally wanted to keep it clean and simple, but it didn't work out that way!" he laughed.
Nick soon found he wanted more; what initially began as a clean daily driver, snowballed into the effect most enthusiasts know well. "It turned into wanting a really nice show car I could take to events," he said. "I wanted to be able to drive it around but also take it to the track."
Naturally, upgrading the motor was first on his list. Rather than work with the stock Audi 2.8L V6 12v, Nick got his hands on a VW 2.8L VR6 12v. The car was then taken to close friend Diogo Azevedo at AMS Autowerks in Linden, NJ (whose BMW 318ti widebody turbo was featured in et 2/09) to begin the on-going process that would produce some impressive numbers.
How impressive? How about 516awhp and approximately 460 lb-ft before the water/meth injection was added!
To achieve these results, the VR was first bored to 2.9-liters with ceramic-coated JE pistons and a set of IE Tuscan rods.
Working with Diogo they added a Ferrea valvetrain with 1mm oversized valves plus titanium springs and retainers. To complete the head, a set of Techtonics 288˚ cams were included, finishing with a port 'n polish to ensure maximum flow.
"It's… fast," Nick laughed. "It's amazing. It comes on so strong, and the cams help so much."
At the heart of the powerhouse, is a huge Precision 62/62 ball-bearing turbo with an upgraded billet compressor wheel and anti-surge housing. It's mounted on a ceramic-coated Kinetic Motorsports manifold but doesn't use an air filter. As a result, it has wire mesh over the inlet to prevent small birds or children being eaten by the enormous snail.
Gases exit via a custom 3.5" exhaust, while the compressed air is fed through a Wagner front-mount intercooler with wrinkle-black powdercoated piping. It then enters a 034Motorsport intake manifold that was developed for 034's etGP09-winning B5 Audi S4 VR6T (et 2/10).
Because of the increased airflow, the fuel system received dual Bosch 044 pumps inside an IE surge tank to support the stock internal pump. Stainless lines and fittings (which feed 1000cc injectors), a custom fuel rail and pressure regulator were also installed into a shaved bay to tidy the overall appearance of the engine swap.
The brains of the operation is the 034EFI standalone engine management, tuned by Ivey Technologies and coupled to AEM's Tru-Boost electronic boost controller.
Data is presented to Nick by an AiM digital instrument cluster mounted in a carbon fiber panel. It's assisted by AEM gauges for oil pressure, oil temp, air/fuel ratio and boost in the console. Additionally, the Snow Performance water/meth display was custom-mounted into the driver's-side air vent.
After incorporating the standalone, Nick was determined to further rid the engine bay of unnecessary components for weight and aesthetic benefits. "I wanted to keep the bay nice and clean," he said. "My goal was to build a show car I could race."
For this reason, all A/C, ABS and emissions components were removed. During the clean-up, Nick also added a Wizard Cooling radiator, atmospheric catch can and uprated coolant hoses.
Nick didn't make the mistake of ignoring the drivetrain. He started with an O1E six-speed transmission, mated to a South Bend six-puck clutch.
"The spare wheel well was removed and we welded a piece of steel in its place," he informed us. "This made room for 034's aluminum rear diff carrier, which was linked by a one-piece driveshaft to the rear wheels.
The Silver Bullet had enough power to finally satisfy Nick, but he had to harness it. So the original suspension was swapped for adjustable KW V3 coilovers. A Neuspeed rear sway bar was installed for greater control, and the bushings were replaced with stiffer 034 parts.
Continuing his road and track approach, the brakes were upgraded to six-piston Brembo front calipers over stock-size Zimmermann drilled rotors. These would fit comfortably behind his chosen 17x9" CCW LM20 wheels that lend the car an air of classic refinement. Wrapped in 235/40 Hankook tires all round, the Audi has an undeniably sporting stance.
When it came to the exterior: "I wanted to clean it up but keep the original lines," Nick explained. So the fenders were pulled slightly and the moldings shaved to make it more contemporary.
The stock bumpers were swapped for a smoothed Audi S2 part up front, complete with a molded lip. On the rear he chose a smoothed European Audi 90 bumper with molded additions. To complete the update, B5 Audi S4 side skirts were modified to fit. The bodywork was then painted in Porsche Arctic silver to increase the cool factor.
Final touches included Audi RS2 headlights and mirrors, S2 fogs, clear corners and rare smoked tail lights from German tuner Treser to complete the package.
All that remained was to transform the interior from luxury to sports to adopt the new persona. This was skillfully achieved with a pair of Porsche GT3 seats, which were custom trimmed with white alcantara inserts, along with matching rear seats and door cards.
With the headliner reupholstered in black alcantara, and the original wood trim painted flat-black, all that remained was the addition of a Momo steering wheel and UUC shift knob for the 034 short-shift mechanism.
Because the original radio just wasn't cutting it, Nick installed a JVC head unit, Focal speakers and a 12" JBL sub, all powered by a five-channel Alpine amp in the back.
After years of work and devotion, Nick's 90 reminded us you don't have to walk the same path as everybody else. You can strike out on your own to make a statement. "It's everything to me," Nick said. "Show car, racecar, everything; all in one."
With the love Nick expressed for his Audi, we anticipate this won't be the last we see of him or this unique 90…

OTTAWA Is A Big Town
People will remember, that during a CBC appearance, Kory Teneycke and Ricken Patel had an exchange over these fraudulent names. Prior to this appearance, Teneycke and others gleefully pointed to these bogus signatures as evidence of a flawed petition. In fact, people were making a big deal about these signatures to discredit the entire online petition. We then learned about the single IP address for ALL the fake signatures, the funny one's that Teneycke admitted he knew of, via a email "source", as well as the fake journalist signatures, of which Teneycke said he heard no mention from said "source". It was fascinating to see Teneycke suddenly trying to minimize these fake names. I believe the words on the CBC appearance were "no big deal", accompanied by adam's apple diving into stomach, when asked about the fake names, and the potential legal ramifications. We went from voluntary playing up the phoney signatures to decided playing down in a matter of hours. Infer from that what you will, but it was "a big deal" until AVAAZ discovered more about origin.
Back to today's developments. I find it very interesting that AVAAZ has contacted the RCMP, as well as the OTTAWA police. According to AVAAZ, they have determined that the single IP source, responsible for ALL bogus signatures, came from an Ottawa area source. I suppose the Ottawa fingerprint has no relevance, but given all the places in this vast country this IP could have come from, OTTAWA seems just a little fascinating, doesn't it? I hope the OTTAWA police, get to the bottom of this single source IP who has Kory Teneycke's email and also resides in OTTAWA. Again, fascinating.

I assume any investigation will ask Teneycke about the "source". Curious to see how much he resists.

I note TWO former PMO communications director's have use the term "we" when referring to the SunTV. That says it all for me. People confuse freedom of expression, with being subjected to party affiliated propaganda.

Which would be more fun, to have the source traced to Kory's office, or to a Conservative government office?
- 9:40 PM, September 14, 2010

You have to watch what you infer, but my gut on his body language said this guy has something he's not comfortable with. That the IP is in Ottawa, just adds to the intrigue.

Ireland is mired deep in a "dark night of the soul." In Catholic thought, such a "dark night" can bring purification. Might it be the same for Ireland?
The Irish Church has been central to the Irish people for sixteen centuries. Even as we stumble through a spectacular economic collapse; people also now speak of the imminent collapse of the Irish Church.
The Dublin Report on child abuse in the Church was published last November, just as the worst floods in recorded history submerged major Irish cities. Then the nation froze solid in the coldest winter since 1947.
Patsy McGarry, the Religious Affairs Editor of The Irish Times puts matters like this:
"The Catholic Church in Ireland, as we have known it, is seriously damaged and probably beyond repair. It is sinking and sinking fast."
Even the most outspoken defenders of the Church now see the possibility of collapse. David Quinn has said: "Nuclear war has been declared on the Irish church by its critics. If it's going to go down, it may as well go down with its flags flying at full mast."
The tenor of the debate in Ireland changed over the past few months: ambivalence to the Church has given way to open hostility. And, if you read the pages of the Irish Catholic press, it is clear that the Catholic laity and clergy are the most enraged of all. Many feel let down by the Church that they love, and to which they have dedicated their lives. Although, none can feel more betrayed than the victims of abuse.
People could accept that there were some bad eggs in the Church. They cannot forgive a cover up by senior clergy: and that is the core finding of the Dublin Report. The Irish people now feel betrayed by their banks, their government and their church: the Pope's letter was written to a nation in despair.
The Irish Bishops seem blinded in the headlamps as they stumble from disaster to catastrophe. Only the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, has chimed with the people with his humble and open contrition.
It has been a long, dark winter here in Ireland. The pope's letter arrived on the day of the spring equinox, when light and dark poise perfectly balanced, and seasons change. Ireland has always been paradise for six months of the year, and purgatory for the rest. The pope's addendum to his letter was a prayer for Ireland's recovery from this crisis. In it he expresses hopes for a "springtime of holiness". The papal letter is not all things to all men: Many have found good grounds to criticize it, yet it also offers some faint hope of a new beginning to a beleaguered people.
Even if day now grows to exceed night, the Irish Church remains at war with itself and its critics. Amid the fray, the words of an old soldier now resonate. Tom Kettle was a dedicated Irish Catholic, a lawyer and a poet. Just days before he was killed in the Somme in 1916, he wrote a poem to his baby daughter:
"Know that we fools, now with the foolish dead,
Died not for the flag, nor King, nor Emperor,
But for a dream, born in a herdsman's shed,
And for the secret Scripture of the poor."
This crisis arose because many in power put the empire of the Church above that dream, that scripture, and our children.
The dream that was born in a herdsman's shed has sustained the Irish people for centuries through war, desolation and famine. In Ireland, we can only hope that a bright spring will follow this darkest of winters.

pretty good , worth the watch for sure
way too long! for the conclusion, and i think the actors got talent but the one directing ...arggg!
OMG! Probably one of the worst movies ever made. Im stunned that this was a Clint Eastwood movie! The worst acting and plot of all time. These good reviews are obviously coming from blue blooded American Christians that support Trump and Pence. Terrible movie dont waste your money.
I loved the depiction of heroic American manhood! I took my fourteen-year-old sons and my sixteen-year-old daughter, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves—though my sons say I "blubbered" too much at the touching scenes.
excellent...strong message....heroes playing themselves - neat concept.....well done clint
I had no idea what this movie was about or that the actors played themselves in the movie. Not to take away from there heroism but the movie itself was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen except for the last 10 minutes. I leaned over to my husband during the movie and said the acting in this is awful not knowing they were they actual heros playing themselves until the movie was over. I was surprised this was a Clint Eastwood movie. Painfully bad acting and extremely slow moving! But definitely Heros and should get credit for saving lives!!!! This would have made a better 1/2 hour documentary in my opinion!
the appeal of this movie it truly is an 'every man's movie'. These guys were not super heroes, special ops, they were just doing the right thing at the right time. Note: they got especially lucky as you'll see in them movie. Fortune favored the brave yet, knowing they did not know how things would play out, truly made this movie a worthwhile watch.
Excellent very inspiring. Strong message. What man labelled as failures God used as heroes. These real life heroes did a great acting job.
Excellent very inspiring. Strong message. What man labelled as failures God used as heroes. These real life heroes did a great acting job. Clint Eastwood ????????

I've got two questions, neither of which are particularly in-depth.
1) The rules (2005) regarding saved actions and countering are a little fuzzy. Do you need to have saved an action to counterattack? If you choose to counter instead of withdrawing, do you still get an action next turn? Can a ranged mini save his action to reaction-fire at a melee mini who moves within range to hit him?
1a) Speaking of ranged vs. melee, what's the usual strategy for ranged units getting bullrushed?
2) What's the maximum size for a battle that can be played in an evening (3 hours ish), assuming people know what they're doing? How about with squads?

HOUSTON – A big part of Houston's 2-1 win over LA on Saturday was the quality service the Dynamo wing players provided to apply pressure to an undersized Galaxy central defense.
Between Corey Ashe, Brad Davis, Je-Vaughn Watson and Andre Hainault, the Dynamo pumped a constant supply of balls into their big attackers that made life difficult for the center of LA's defense. The result was a consistently dangerous attack that got consistent looks on 'keeper Brian Perk's goal.
HIGHLIGHTS: Dynamo mount comeback vs. LA
"It's very important and it's been the culture of this team," Davis told reporters after the victory. "We're starting to understand each other and I like the way we play. Getting the ball wide, getting it in the box and I think we did a good job of that."
Davis was a big reason for the quality service. Seven months later and the 2011 MLS MVP runner-up showed that he can impact a match serving up the winner to Hainault on a corner kick – along with several other threatening crosses.
"You don't like to go back that far, but I don't think we tested their defense from wide areas on crosses," head man Dominic Kinnear said. "Having Brad there is a benefit when you have a dead-ball situation and when you have aggressive guys attacking the ball."
Dealing with Beckham
One battle of interest against the Galaxy in was in midfield where the combination of Adam Moffat and Watson looked to shut down David Beckham.
As the game went on and the tempers (and temperatures) rose and the intensity amped up as both teams looked to play well down the stretch. But for all the vitriol, the Dynamo pair worked to keep their heads and avoid getting sucked in to anything that would take their focus away from the task at hand.
"You've got to just worry about the game," Moffat said. "[Beckham] was fired up and getting at the referee, but that's none of my business. If he wants to get fired up, he can get fired up and I'll just go for the challenges when they're there and keep away from that."
Staying in the present
There was no looking back for the Dynamo after Saturday's win. Yes, they did take care of business against the team that six months ago kept them from taking their third MLS Cup title, but as the team talked about their win they were cognizant of keeping the focus on the present.
"I don't look at it as a grudge match," defender Bobby Boswell said on Saturday night. "For us it was another home game and we wanted to take care of business. Today, we got the maximum number of points and at the end of the year that's all that's going to matter."

An Open Letter From A Dying Priest:
Sends Message Concerning His Condition. . .
From Fr. Ed --
Here's an update on my health status.
A week ago Friday I met with my oncologist, Judy and some family members and prayerfully discerned to stop treatment. It wasn't very hard to make based on the options that I have. Anything aggressive is a long shot and some of it involves surgery with a high risk of infection with my weak body. Praying about the decision came through loud and clear to stop treatment.
I am at peace with that.
All I can say is that for the past three and a half weeks my energy, appetite, general overall feeling has been constant--no regression and no progress. I would guess that without a miracle we're talking about months rather than weeks. I began hospice care this week and that comes with some good benefits of paying for all of my prescriptions and reimburses me for ointments that help with the itching. I also get a massage each week.
I'm saying that on the scale of balance of going home soon or remaining here to continue ministry for a while, all of the facts tip the scale on the side of going home sooner rather than later. On the other side is the power of prayer which cannot be measured. I continue to ask Luminosa Bavosi to intercede for me and I feel her presence a lot.
As I say, I am at peace. Each day I have my bags packed for going home (heaven) and my brief case packed for doing the ministry of the day. I can't think of anything more to put in the bag to go home. My brief case has about two appointments a day and a big reminder that . . .
Thanks for your unity and prayers, and love. I lean on them a lot.
Fr. Ed
P.S. Thanks for your prayers of intercession with Our Lady of Guadalupe and the praying of the Psalms.
A SaintRobertBellarmine.BlogSpot.com Note: Our hearts sank when we received this email today. This priest had a huge impact in our lives. Can you do me a simple favor?
- Will you email this to your fellow prayer warriors?
- Share a comment, I will pass it on.
Thank you and my God bless you all!

Jose Mourinho believes Chelsea's incoming 'killer' striker will open the floodgates after another missed opportunity put paid to the Blues' Premier League title hopes.
Mourinho has long lamented his toiling strikers' troubles in front of goal and indicated his desire to land a prolific goalscorer next term, with Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa reportedly the number one target and the possibility of Fernando Torres returning to his former club in part-exchange.
As well as helping Chelsea match their formidable record against the Premier League's elite, the new forward will be expected to rough up also-rans like Norwich, whose 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday saw the Blues concede further ground to Manchester City and Liverpool.
"Against the teams that are more defensive, more aggressive, more worried about trying to keep a clean sheet than really to play, we keep saying the same," Mourinho told Chelsea TV.
"We have good players, but we don't have the kind of striker able to, in a short space, to make an action, to score a goal, to open the gate.
"In these kind of matches you just need to open the gate. When you open the gate, the gate is open and you go (and) win (by) much more. We weren't able to do that.
"We have to try to win as a team, to improve as a team, but also add the attacking player with that killer instinct and the number of goals that push teams to different levels.
"It's something our club is going to try (to do), respecting obviously that we have good strikers."
The futures of captain John Terry, England left-back Ashley Cole and record goalscorer Frank Lampard - all out of contract imminently - are still to be clarified after the final home match of the campaign, which concludes at Cardiff next Sunday.
The Blues beat Manchester City twice, Liverpool twice, took four points from matches against each of Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham and Manchester United, but recent defeats to Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Sunderland and the draw with Norwich have proved costly.
"It's much more difficult to get results against the big teams," Mourinho added.
"Mentally you have to be stronger, by the strategic point of view you have to be stronger too.
"When we have that amazing record against the top teams, I think it's a fantastic achievement and a good base to start next season."
Chelsea's home record reads played 19, won 15, drawn three and lost one, the controversial defeat to Sunderland which saw Mourinho relinquish his 77-match unbeaten league record at home.
"If you forget the Sunderland festival, because for me it was not a football game, it was a festival, the (home) record was good," Mourinho said.
"We lost six points at home, with three draws, which is still a good record.
"The matches with the top teams the record is really amazing, difficult to repeat next season even if, like we expect, we are stronger."
Norwich midfielder Jonny Howson knows their top-flight status can be ended if Sunderland beat West Brom on Wednesday night.
Even a draw for Sunderland, who are two points above Norwich, would all-but consign the Norfolk club to relegation as they have such an inferior goal difference that a win at home to Arsenal next Sunday would be immaterial.
"It's out of our hands now and hopefully we get a little bit of luck," Howson said.
"The ball's back in Sunderland's court. We need a little bit of luck from West Brom to take it to the last day of the season.
"Just two wins away all season. You're going to go nowhere with that kind of form.
"We're pleased with the performance, but it's frustrating: why couldn't we have done that more often?"

European car sales up for first time since 2011
MILAN The European auto industry may be showing the first signs of a slowdown in its sales free-fall, according to data from the European automaker's association.
New car registrations in April were up 1.7 percent on the same time last year, the ACEA's latest figures show. Although the April rise has more to do with the two extra work days last month due to an early Easter, sales figures for the year so far gave some cause for hope.
Last month, the ACEA showed registrations for the first three months of 2013 were down 10 percent on the year before. Latest figures show that sales for the first four months of the year were 7.1 percent less than in 2012.
"Is this the 'slowdown-in-the-collapse' that the industry is awaiting for? Let's hope so," said Carlos Da Silva of consultancy IHS Automotive.
The auto industry has been victim of the region's deepening recession and rising unemployment, and Europe's carmakers are looking to see when the bottom will hit.
Many have had to announce factory closures or put off new car launches in bids for survival.
The fortunes of the car industry have a big impact on the rest of Europe. According to the ACEA, the auto industry directly employs 2.3 million people, mainly highly skilled workers, and supports about another 10 million jobs among the carmakers' suppliers.
The declining car market in Europe has been weighing on global carmakers' bottom lines. Last year, four of the biggest automakers based in Europe -- Ford, PSA Peugeot, Fiat and General Motors -- together posted operating losses of 5 billion euros ($7 billion) for the region.
In April, 1.038 million new cars were registered in the European Union, up from the historic low for April of 1.021 million reached in 2012, the ACEA said.
Sales rebounded in Germany, posting a 3.8 percent gain in April compared with the previous year. Sales also were up in Spain, helped by new incentives, and continued strong in Britain.
France and Italy, the No. 3 and No. 4 markets, posted declines of 5.3 percent and 10.8 percent respectively.

Highest level available in Illinois
The Stark County Ambulance Service has been upgraded to Critical Care Paramedic, the highest level of care available in the state.
It has taken just 18 months to upgrade the service from the basic level (the lowest license level for transport ambulances) to Critical Care Paramedic.
"I am proud of the advancements we have been able to accomplish to provide this level of care to the communities we serve," said the director and CEO of Stark County Ambulance, James Roesner.
"This would not have been possible without the support of our current volunteer and full-time staff," Roesner said. "Their unwavering drive and commitment to providing progressive pre-hospital care has manifested in this accomplishment."
A Critical Care Paramedic service level enables Stark County Ambulance to perform more life-saving procedures and deliver more medications than before, Roesner said.
"Our staff, made up of men and women from our communities, has taken on the immense task of training and perfecting their skills to provide this unique and critical service," said Roesner.
"Too often communities opt for basic emergency medical services and rely on others for advanced help," he said. "Now, we are that help and can facilitate every level of pre-hospital care."
Already the service was one of the most advanced rural services in the state with the advanced cardiac life support and cutting-edge technology. Now with the Critical Care Paramedic level of care, Stark County Ambulance is "truly in a class of their own." Roesner said.
Patients at a medical facility can now request Stark County Ambulance for any type of transfer service.
Stark County Ambulance is available 24/7 to assist area communities.

Suzanne Willow and Lanita Witt are the owners of Willow Witt Ranch, a 440-acre sustainable farming enterprise that raises organic, pasture-grown pigs; Alpine goats for milk and backpacking; chickens for meat and eggs; and a wide variety of cold-hardy vegetables. During the 27 years that they've been at their property, they've successfully lived with renewable energy—and without grid power.
HOME POWER: In addition to your home's energy needs, you also have a goat dairy and meat operation. With potential large electrical draws such as refrigeration and water heating, did you ever consider connecting to the grid?
WILLOW-WITT: When we bought the property—27 years ago—we contacted the utility to see what the cost of bringing in grid electricity would be. We were four miles from the nearest power pole, and they quoted us a cost of more than $100,000.
HP: So how did you expect to meet your energy needs? How familiar were you with off-grid living?
WW: Suzanne had previously used solar energy at her rural home near Redway, California, from 1976 until 1983. The system powered a few lights, a radio, and a tape player.
Lanita had no experience with living off-grid or farming, although her family had farmed in Texas in the 1940s. She wished to return to a more rural life.
And that we did. In 1986, we moved from our house on 0.7 acres in Napa, California, to a 1920s farmhouse on 440 acres near Ashland, Oregon. We used kerosene lamps and had a propane cookstove and water heater. We heated the space with wood. As the old farmhouse was renovated, we put in wiring to handle either DC or AC, though we had neither at the time.
In 1987—after having been on the ranch for about a year—we decided to use Suzanne's original PV modules from her Redway home and a battery to power a radio phone. Six years later, however, we were ready for more electricity. We built a combination greenhouse, woodshed, and chicken house, and with a south-facing roof on one end, this structure housed our first complete PV system: four solar-electric modules and four Trojan L16 batteries. We installed electric lighting in the house. We also were required by the county to install a sand filter for the septic system. Since that required a pump, we connected a generator for backup.
HP: What differences did the PV system make in your lives?
WW: We got less sleep as electricity prolonged activity into the dark of the night! (Laughs.) The greatest joy was doing laundry at home instead of at the laundromat that was a 30-minute drive away.
HP: What other RE upgrades have you made since your initial foray into solar electricity?
WW: By 1996, we had paid off the land by doing salvage logging on mistletoe-infested white fir, and selective cutting of diseased and dying trees, so we took out a new loan to put in a water storage tank and piped water from the spring box to flow through a Pelton wheel as it fell into the tank. The tank is located just above the pond, so the overflow from the tank still keeps the pond full. The microhydro generator has a permanent-magnet alternator that outputs wild AC current then is transformed to 12 volts DC and sent to our house system's batteries. This provides a continuous trickle charge that is especially appreciated during the winter, when solar electricity production is low. We laid 4,000 feet of pipe to have ample water for our domestic use with 50 pounds of water pressure.
That year, we also upgraded our house system to twelve 51 W modules with eight Trojan L16 batteries and a more efficient inverter (from a Trace 2012 to a Trace SW2512).

Remember our report in August about Dell offering Ubuntu pre-installed on selected hardware as an option? There were some of you folks who got very excited about it then.
Well, it appears that Dell has stopped offering Ubuntu pre-installed in the United Kingdom.
One bloke who tried to order a Dell Ubuntu system told the Ubuntu forums he couldn't get one. According to his posting here, Dell says the machine is unavailable. Another poster reckons the whole thing was a publicity stunt.
And if you visit the Dell U.K. site, the page either hangs or ends up with a "discontinued" sign.
Additional sleuthing uncovered the following:
A call to Dell's marketing folk in the UK confirms Dell no longer supplies Ubuntu pre-installed. "It has been discontinued in the UK," a closed source said.
So, what really happened? Is this a publicity stunt, or simply a reflection of the lack of demand for pre-installed Linux at large?

I managed to pre-order one today. I'll pre-order a game or two nearer the release, as by then we'll probably know what will definitely make the launch and what won't. I'm currently thinking about Red Steel and Warioware. Shame there's no Metroid Prime 3 until next year, but I can wait.
As for 'region-free' issue, sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but...

I'm still on the fence about Red Steel, but Twilight Princess will definitely be my first purchase for the Wii.
As for the rechargable battery, that's good news I guess. But the Wii system package said it comes with 2 AA batteries...no mention of rechargable or not. And in the case that I have to spend like $30 on a battery pack for the controller, I think I'd rather stick with the rechargable batteries I have for now.

Alright, so a 360 costs $400 by itself. It comes with one wireless controller. Looking around at Amazon, EB Games, and Gamestop, the 360 wireless controllers go for...$50 apiece.
Huh. I must admit, that's more than I expected for the 360 wireless controllers. A friend of mine who's roomate has a 360 told me they were $20 and came with a recharging stand. Maybe he was mistaken?
So a 360, plus 3 controllers, would come to...$550.
Wii costs $250, and the controllers, with nunchuck, cost $60 apiece. So a Wii and 3 extra controllers would be... $430. That's still a $120 difference.
(a) expected games to start coming out with unique attachments required to play the games.
(b)didn't know Nintendo's history when it comes to such extra peripherals. Nintendo has actually been quite good at keeping the price down on these in the rare occaissions they were required. Whenever I've seen Donkey Konga in stores, it cost about the same as most any other Gamecube game, despite coming with that required bongo controller, for instance.
I suspect games that do require additional attachments will be few and far between, and in most cases it is very likely the game will come with the attachment at no additional cost. I could be wrong, but if I am this would be a change in direction for Nintendo.

And also, just because a game (most likely the first one) comes packaged with the peripheral you require to play that particular game, doesn't mean that subsequent games that come out and need to be used with that peripheral will have it packaged. Kinda like with the N64 memory expansion thing...it came out with a game (forget which one) and while not every game needed to have it, some games like Majora's Mask needed it, but didn't come with it. So if you didn't want/buy the original game that came with the peripheral, you'd have to buy it separately. Not such a big deal if there was only one of such item...but you truly never know how many attachments the Wii-mote could have when everything's said and done.
Again, I'm not trying to use this as an excuse to put Nintendo down. Besides the Virtual Boy, non-SP GBA and the Game Boy Micro, I've had every Nintendo system. They're a company I grew up with and I still support the company, it's just the eternal pessimist within that's coming up with all this stuff... I still believe the Wii will be a good system, and I still intend to purchase one at launch.

Question: The info that ultracarl put up was on the Wii, but it also showed the Wii line-up on release date. Now is the US releases date having the same line up or is there any difference?
Making it short: Where, or what is the US game release date lineup?

Police search for driver they say abandoned child in road after Montgomery Co. crash
Authorities in Montgomery County said Monday they are searching for a driver who they believe abandoned a 5-month-old boy face-down and bleeding in the middle of the road after a vehicle crash that threw the child from the car Sunday night.
The accident happened at about 10:30 p.m. in north Montgomery County.
"We have a very active investigation into the crash right now," said Eric Burse, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman.
He did not release any names and refused to confirm initial news reports that the male driver was related to the child.
The child was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston where he was listed in stable condition Monday.
"The baby was conscious and crying when we got there," said Jeff McDonald, a spokesman for the ambulance crew with the North Montgomery County Fire Department. "The child's mother drove up shortly afterward. She appeared very upset. It was a crazy scene."
According to investigators, the child had been a passenger in the Ford Fusion that the man was driving. Witnesses said he was traveling at a high rate of speed before plowing into a mailbox and flipping near the intersection of East Williams Road and South Williams, authorities said.
The vehicle ended upside down, and the child was thrown into the middle of the road. Authorities said the driver fled before rescue workers arrived.
