Weeklong hearings on government secrecy, so-called UFOs yield powerful testimony and a simple question: Why hide info about things that don’t exist?

Citizen Hearing On Disclosure, held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. April 29 to May 3.

Citizens Hearing tackles government secrecy, truth on presence of UFOs (FCN, 05-01-2013)

WASHINGTON (National Press Club) - Having the prestigious home for Americas media in the Nation’s Capitol host its conference, complete with former lawmakers, was a clear attempt by the host Paradigm Research Group and conference organizer Stephen Bassett to curb ridicule and keep focus on government secrecy and its belief that so-called UFOs are known—despite government lies and  skeptics.

The Citizen Hearing On Disclosure, held here April 29 to May 3, included a former Canadian defense minister, a former astronaut, the former top Federal Aviation Administration official, a onetime Ministry of Defense official in the United Kingdom, Air Force veterans, other U.S. servicemen, and domestic and foreign pilots, scientists, researchers, authors, writers, filmmakers, and witnesses from America, England, China, Russia, Canada, Brazil, Chile and South American countries spoke.

Modeled after congressional hearings, witnesses delivered 30 hours of testimony covering a wide range of thought and concern about so-called UFOs and whether the crafts were of this world or from elsewhere. Opinions were strong on all ends—some simply wanted an explanation or investigation of things unexplained—others spoke of animal mutilations, alien crash landings and creatures from other planets under U.S. government control.

The point of agreement was the U.S. government and other governments need to share what is known about sightings and crafts and the U.S. Congress should hold hearings on a subject of interest to millions of Americans—whether their concerns are the origin of the crafts or an ever-increasing tendency to classify and deny public access to information.

“I believe, unfortunately, that the military industrial complex is the reason—from Truman and Roosevelt, Reagan, Clinton, and Carter presidential level—that has brought us to this place, which I believe is detrimental to the universe and detrimental to our people,” said former Detroit congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick, who was among former lawmakers that conducted the hearings for the Paradigm Research Group.

“There is something else out there, I’m convinced. I wasn’t before I came because I didn’t know much about it. I’ve been reading, listening, scientifically intelligent information has been presented,” said the 18 year-member of Congress in an exclusive interview. Twelve countries were represented in testimony with another 12 nations on board to explore this issue and United States officials need to take part in the conversation, she argued.

“I don’t know what they (U.S. officials) know, it’s over my intelligence but I believe if they know something, and I believe they do, they need to share it,” former Rep. Kilpatrick continued. “I don’t know if it’s about power, or that someone else may have a better technology, or that we’re not going to tell the people because we want to stay in charge—all of which are asinine in the 21st century. It’s time to confront the issue.”

Federal defense and transportation were her areas of expertise but the UFO issue never came up in congressional discussions, she said. Defense spending and appropriations was her specialty.

Five other ex-lawmakers—Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska; U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif.; U.S. Rep Darlene Hooley, D-Ore.; U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md.; and U.S. Rep. Merrill Cook, R-Utah—agreed the people had a right to know more. Among suggestions was having an international conference tied to the United Nations and endorsed by the General Assembly as opposed to the U.S.-dominated Security Council.

The onetime federal legislators admitted former colleagues were unlikely to have a formal hearing, but encouraged continued efforts to lobby and educate current legislators.

Problems with a congressional hearing range from short presentation times to a few select witnesses, finding the proper committee to host such a hearing and the arrogance of Capitol Hill legislators, said Rep. Hooley candidly.

Congressmen aren’t happy looking like they don’t know something and to be told something world-shaking was going on for decades without their knowledge wouldn’t sit well, she said.

Also no sitting lawmaker wants to be the first representative to call for hearings and see their call replayed in opposition political ads with antenna coming out of their heads, added Ms. Woolsey.

Potential ridicule and political fallout is enough to keep members of Congress away, she said.

Congressman Mike Gravel, in a strong argument, warned against relying on Congress. Congress and the U.S. political system are broken and people are too afraid to challenge authority, said the former senator.

The American people need to be motivated to get involved, he said, complaining of a sheep-like mentality inside the United States where anyone who challenges popular political thought has his patriotism questioned. True patriotism is standing up and demanding that the government serve and inform its citizens, he said.

From Volume 6 Number 2 issue of The Final Call, January 31, 1987.

The last time Congress held a hearing on UFO matters was in 1968 before the House Committee on Science and Astronautics.

Throughout the Press Club hearing, pilots and experts shared experiences with the crafts, some tried to chase or attack the objects without success. In other incidents, witnesses saw strange lights and shared how the appearance of these crafts or lights knocked out weapons systems in nuclear silos. All described virtually noiseless, usually seamless crafts with few or no outer markings, ships that could make sudden stops and turns impossible for modern aircraft. The force of such angled maneuvers would kill a human being, they said. The crafts hover in mid-air at heights no helicopter could endure, witnesses said. Some described how smaller craft travel and dock on a huge Mother Ship.

Panelists shown on Day 2 of the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure.
“It’s indisputable that UFOs exist and it’s indisputable that while most of them turn out to be misidentifications or hoaxes, some of them, even those of us in government couldn’t explain,” said Nick Pope, who spent four years investigating UFOs and possible national security implications for the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense. The UK has since moved to declassify and release its UFO documents, he said.

“It’s not in contention that there are things in our air space and we don’t know what they are,” said Mr. Pope. The British government sometimes tracked sightings on radar or visual sightings by pilots, but it was a mystery, and while extraterrestrials weren’t ruled found, they were not ruled out, he said.

Dick Gregory, longtime analyst and satirist, attended the hearings. He felt it should have included representatives of the indigenous peoples who have spoken of such visits for centuries. He had his own experience in San Francisco. He sees major implications if the truth about UFOs come out.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan accompanied by his sons Joshua Farrakhan and Nation of Islam Student Supreme Captain Mustapha Farrakhan and Abdul Akbar Muhammad, international representative of the Nation of Islam, sat in for a brief time the first day of the hearing.

The Minister has spoken publically about his encounter with the crafts in a “vision-like”” experience in 1985 and said the crafts are fulfillment of the prophecy of Ezekiel’s Wheel in the Bible and are the destructive Mother Plane  and baby planes created to destroy this civilization as taught by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The writings about these planes are found in the monumental book Message to the Black Man by Mr. Muhammad.

During an international press conference at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. on October 24, 1989, Min. Farrakhan shared his vision and warned the U.S. government of the dreadful power of these crafts and how plotting against the Black man and woman, him and the Nation of Islam would led to the unleashing of their destructive force.

“So it is not wise for you to plan against Allah’s (God’s) servants; for by so doing you are actually planning against yourselves. This warning is for the president, the government and the wise to reflect upon so that the unwary citizens of America may not be harmed by the consequences of the wicked machinations of the United States government,” said Min. Farrakhan at the press conference.

“You may come against me, which you are free to do, since we have no power to stop you, but I warn you, that I am backed by the power of Allah (God) and His Christ and the power of that Wheel in which I received this Announcement. The moment you attempt or lay your hands on me the fullness of Allah’s (God’s) wrath will descend upon you and upon America,” the Minister warned.

What about the 3 percent?

Among UFO researchers, or “ufologists,” there is agreement that 95 percent of reported incidents can be explained, said Gary Heseltine, who created a database tracking UFO-related incidents reported by police officers in the United Kingdom, and edits UFO Truth magazine.

When the remaining 5 percent are investigated, perhaps 2 percent will be tossed out leaving a highly credible 3 percent that is unexplained, argued the retired British police detective.

“The skeptics can argue all they like but they never talk about these 3 percent of cases,” said Mr. Heseltine.

That 3 percent of cases would include major incidents inside and outside the United States. One incident occurred in 1986 as a Japanese airline pilot flying over Anchorage, Alaska spotted a huge ship the size of two aircraft carriers and reported the sighting to the FAA. John Callahan was then division chief of the Accidents and Investigations for the Federal Aviation Administration. He testified May 3 that Japanese Airlines 747 flight was followed by a UFO for 31 minutes. The UFO also followed a United Airlines flight.

The unknown craft’s presence was confirmed visually—as the pilot drew a walnut shaped object to share what he saw—and there was radar confirmation. The then-FAA Administrator held a briefing the day after the incident with the FBI, CIA, President Reagan’s Scientific Study Team and others present, said Mr. Callahan.

During an international press conference at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. on October 24, 1989, Min. Farrakhan shared his vision and warned the U.S. government of the dreadful power of these crafts and how plotting against the Black man and woman, him and the Nation of Islam would led to the unleashing of their destructive force.
The air traffic conversations, videotaped radar evidence and reports were presented but confiscated, the former federal official said. The CIA officer said the craft was a UFO and the scientific group couldn’t wait to get it hands on the information, Mr. Callahan recalled. The CIA person also told everyone present they were sworn to secrecy and “this meeting never happened,” said the plain-spoken Mr. Callahan, who was certainly not a New Age ET Come Home cheerleader.

He doubted that the craft was made by the U.S. or any other government, though when he first heard about the incident he suspected it might be a Defense Dept. project like the once super-secret Stealth bomber. Mr. Callahan kept some of the FAA evidence.

George Flier, a retired Air Force intelligence officer, testified that there are about 1,000 UFO-related sightings a month and he deals with 17,000 e-mails related to incidents monthly.

Like many witnesses, Mr. Flier had his own encounter with a UFO while aboard an aircraft tanker over the UK. While serving in the Air Force, Flier was onboard an aircraft tanker over the UK ordered to investigate a UFO which flew away at great speed. He is now a regional director for the Mutual UFO Network.

Reasons most often given for hiding info about UFOs are national security, power, potential unknown energy sources and shaking the established world view of reality and science. One witness suggested while the speed of light is recognized as the highest speed known to mankind, the unknown crafts may travel at the speed of thought and use a different propulsion system than the most advanced system used today.

And, observed Mr. Callahan, where do these crafts stop for food, fuel and what technology do they have? Companies and corporations have an interest in denying the world cheaper, better medical care and a “toaster that can power New York City,” he said.

While the UFO phenomenon is worldwide with sightings in places like Iran, the United Kingdom, Turkey, China, and Japan along with others nations and regions in between, the U.S. has a special interest in these occurrences and special ridicule, the witnesses stressed.

Mr. Bassett complained of misinformation spread by the government and CIA-creation of the National Enquirer. The tabloid spreads silly stories and undermines legitimate dialogue, he said.

In South America, the subject is approached from a more respectful and scientific basis, said Antonio Huneeus, a writer and investigative reporter from Chile. There is some mockery but the societies and governments are generally more willing to discuss the phenomena in a more serious way, he added.

When other nations have an incident, the U.S. quickly intervenes and often departs with valuable evidence and information, said witnesses.

Its global influence as a superpower is the reason most often given for U.S. obsession with the subject, witnesses argued. But, they noted, at the same time the U.S. government insists the craft do not exist.

Would the U.S. be the sole superpower if someone else possessed more advanced technology? asked Nick Pope, a UK Ministry of Defense UFO investigator between 1991 and 1994. In 2008 the UK began a five-year process of declassifying and releasing its entire archives of UFO files. So far over 50,000 pages of documents have been released, he noted.

The most significant UFO incident in the UK happened in 1980 involving a UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest and involved military personnel at the United States Air Force bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge, he said.

A craft appeared near the bases over 3 nights, soldiers were sent out to investigate and the top U.S. Air Force official in Germany quickly came to find out what happened, collected evidence and left, said Mr. Pope. The Air Force official wrote a memo about the incident, but the U.S. says it has no interest in investigating UFOs, added Mr. Pope, who worked for the Ministry of Defense for 21 years.

Then U.S.-servicemen John Burroughs and Jim Penniston were there that night and testified at the hearing. Not only were the men told to keep quiet about the incident, but both have health problems and have been told their personal medical records are classified. They fear exposure to some kind of radiation.

Between 1953 through 2009, when the division was dropped because of defense cuts, over 12,000 incidents were investigated, said Mr. Pope. The Rendlesham Forest incident multiple witnesses, included burn marks on trees and increased radiation at the event site, he explained. The plight of the servicemen is a open government and human rights issue, whether there is a belief in UFOs or not, these men cannot get information needed to help deal with health problems, said Mr. Pope.

He believes government secrecy, which many say began in 1947, is tied to a desire to capture the technology of these unknown crafts. Whether crafts investigated by the UK were “Russian or Martian,” their technology is better than what is currently known, Mr. Pope said.

There was UK interest in propulsion systems, fuel source and possible weaponization, he continued.

“There is as it were a race for that technology. So basically, if any of this turns out to be true, the nation that first acquires this technology will be the dominant political, military, technological, economic force on this planet for the foreseeable future,” he said.

French automotive group Renault its sells stake in Volvo for €1.48bn

French carmaker Renault SA (EPA:RNO) on Thursday said it had pocketed EUR1.476bn (USD1.93bn) from the sale of its 6.5% of the share capital and 17.2% of the votes of Swedish trucks and buses manufacturer Volvo AB (STO:VOLV-A; STO:VOLV-B).

The French group sold 138.6m Volvo AB series A shares, representing its entire holding in the series A shares, it said.

The disposal was announced on Wednesday, when Renault said it would complete its exit from Volvo AB, after the sale in October 2010 of its entire series B stake.

The funds raised through this recent sale would be used to cut its net automotive debt, as well as for investments in France in 2013, accounting for 40% of Renault’s total investments next year and strategic growth investments in Russia and China.

These moves are aimed at making Renault’s plants in Europe more competitive and supporting its international expansion, the vendor said.

Default choosing a lever action .22lr rifle

Hi guys I am starting to look for a .22lr rifle as you may or may not know Im new to shooting went to the gun shop to look into a 22LR(for hunting rabbits mostly) sort of had my heart set on a lever action but the guy at the gun shop looked puzzled and asked me why when i could go for a cz brno, But their a bolt action i told him and he went on to tell me how great the rifle is and how i could hand it down to my kid and im sure they are a good rifle.Feeling we were drifting away from what i came in there for i asked about the lever action rifles he looked at me in disbelief and went on to talk about how the action doesn't matter and that i cant go wrong with the brno.when he did talk about the lever action rifles it was like they were second class rifles.
I told him i would think about it.
Am i being stupid?
Can anyone recommend a lever action of good quality
Does the action make a difference?
thanks guys for any input

Nothing wrong with a lever action if that's what you like. It's the rifle that won the West!

If I were you, I wouldn't go back to that place. You knew what you wanted and no one should try to talk you out of it.

As far as getting a projectile down range the type of action really doesn't matter, they all shoot just fine be it lever, bolt, break-open, semi-auto etc. But if you want a lever action the salesman should have showed you one, or ten. Marlin, Browning and Henry make great lever action rifles you'll just have to choose a price point then see what they have to offer.

If I were to buy a lever action 22 it would be the Marlin 39 because I don't like the straight stocks on the Browning or Henry, I prefer the pistol grip style stock on the Marlin.

I went with a Henry Frontier H001T a few weeks ago when I bought one. The Marlin 39 new was out of my price range and I am not currently trusting Remington to make a good rimfire rifle right now. Don't know why and have no solid proof of it but just a feeling. The couple used 39s I found were pretty used and pricey.

I got a brand new Henry cheaper than a well worn 39. Haven't shot it yet but it looks good and feels good. I'll have to get it out to shoot soon and then I'll have a better feel for it.

Henry rifles are made in the USA. That is a selling point for me for most things anymore; although, I'll bet that doesn't matter much in your case.

I grew up with lever actions, and love them. If you want a lever action, get one. The Brno rifles are amazing, and heirloom quality, but if you want a lever get a lever.

My personal favorite (all around) .22 is the Marlin 39. Buy one, and you will never regret it.

I had a Marlin 39 and wish I still had it but I wouldn't give up my Henry Golden Boy for it. The Henry has an action out of the box that's slicker than snot on a porcelain doorknob. Accuracy is right up there with the Marlin.

The Ruger #1 is a fery strong action that can handle ANY 7 X 57 ammo commercially available. Generally 7 X 57 is loaded to very conservative levels because of the availablility of pre-1900 Spanish military rifles that MAY have issues.
I load my two 7mm Spanish short rifles with a slightly reduced powder charge and 140 grain bullets. Very accurate and deadly on deer sized game.
Refer to widely available data from the powder manufacturers, reduce max loads by 10% and work up a load your rifle likes. Every rifle, every barrel has likes and dislikes. What shoots 1" groups in my rifles may shoot 3" groups in your rifle. The fun in reloading is experimentation and custom tuning the ammo to YOUR gun.
Good luck and IMHO the International model Rugers are beautiful rifles (the #1 and #3 are my favorite Ruger centerfire rifles)

Budman45 07-31-2008 02:22 AM

I shoot a Ruger M77 22" barrel in 7x57. Mostly I use a Remington 140gr CorLokt bullet, WW760 @ 47gr. and a CCI 200 standard primer. According to my Chrony chronograph this load gives me 2825fps avg. With 49gr I got 2902 but primers were flattening. At 50gr. I had to hammer the bolt open.
I have been shooting the 47gr load for about 3 yrs. now and about 500-600 rnds with no problems. I get good accuracy and good case life using both
R-P and Federal cases. This load works good on both deer and feral hogs. It shows no problems with heat sensitivity during the Florida summer. Once I got this rifle, I got rid of my 7mm Rem Mag. Much more recoil then I wanted and over powerfull. I really like this caliber and rifle.
Take your time working up loads and you will find this caliber to be great fun and not beat you to death.
If WW760 not available, I think H414 may be the same powder. They list the same grain loads and the same velocity on their web sight.
Have fun and be safe.

Merrell Hobbit Journey and Trail Runs

Merrell Hobbit Journey and Trail Runs 2016

Roam free in the indigenous forests of the Amathole Mountains near Hogsback in the Eastern Cape.

Merrell Hobbit Journey

Hogsback is a magical place located on the western edge of the forested Amathole Mountain range. The village is overlooked by mountains and surrounded by indigenous forests that are centuries old. It is only an hour and half drive from Grahamstown, yet may as well be in another world.

The beauty of the surrounds is said to have inspired J.R.R Tolkien to write the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so you can imagine the dramatic splendour of the place.

The Merrell Hobbit Journey and Trail Runs is a weekend event (29 April 2016 - 1 May 2016) for the whole family that allows people to explore this beautiful area. There are four distances on offer: the two-day, 90km Merrell Hobbit Journey and 38km, 16km and 5km trail runs.

The 90km staged trail run starts on the Friday and takes runners on a demanding journey along the Amathole Hiking Trail through the indigenous forests and up to Cata Mountain. Here runners rest for the night and continue on the next morning, passing cascading waterfalls and across crystal clear streams while enveloped in glorious vistas, and no small amount of sweat, to finally descend into Hogsback. The 90km trail is certainly one for the bucket list.

The 38km trail is shorter and offers immense variety of terrain and challenges to test runners. The 16km and 5km routes are neither flat nor easy, but very doable and see a mixture of racers and casual runners all loving the magical vibe of the forest along well marked routes.

Event Details:

When: 29 April 2016 - 1 May 2016

Where: Hogsback, Eastern Cape

Distances: 90km, 38km, 16km & 5km

To find out more, visit the event organiser's website here, like their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter.

Morning Coffee Reading – 3/19/16

Blogging became too time-consuming.  Formatting, linking, embedding, bad copy pasta that has to be fixed.  But I’ll try again, because my network continues to inspire me so much, I feel I should make the effort as they do.  Bless their hearts, what would I read in the morning if they got lazy like me?

And, I remain forever amazed at how wonderful tripping, linking, chasing, stumbling through others’ thoughts on the internets can be, and how sharing our thoughts can further other people’s trips in (hopefully) meaningful ways.

Here’s my latest trip to go with your morning coffee.

Badges and evidence, the “reputation economy”, and data used to make decisions

Sparked by insomniac reading of Stephen Downing (@oldaily) at 4AM earlier this week, I saw that he gave a keynote address on the AvaCon grid at the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education 2016 conference, wherein he speculates, “about the future of virtual worlds in learning when they are mixed with mobile devices and performance support systems.”

Scanning past Stephen’s blurb about the VWBPE keynote, somehow I came across Alan Levine’s (@cogdog) recent post “Seeking Evidence of Badge Evidence“, wherein he explores the usefulness of gamified badging systems if they don’t link to actual evidence that the badge was earned.  Metadata about the evidence isn’t the same as linking to the evidence itself, right?  Right.

This sparked a memory of an older post of mine, Twitter and the Reputation Economy in 2014, wherein I mused about how to measure “reputation” and suggested that Twitter Lists provide a non-obvious measure of something.  Alan subsequently pointed out that a Twitter list wordcloud may be an indicator,  but it is not a measure.  Good point.

My tweet about Alan’s post sparked D’Arcy Norman (@dlnorman) to point to Cory Doctorow’s (@doctorow) recent post about what a terrible currency reputation would be.

I agree that Whuffie would be a terrible currency, so be sure to read that @doctorow post, as well as “Wealth Inequality Is Even Worse in Reputation Economies“.

My tweet also sparked Alan to go down a deep, technically complicated but fascinating rabbit-hole of what my Twitter list wordcloud means, whether it’s useful, and how to generate one using docker, which I still don’t really understand.

But go read his post “Measurement or [indirect] Indicators of Reputation? A Twitter List / Docker / iPython Notebook Journey“.  It’s good stuff.

At the end of all that chain, I summed up my current take-aways about data used for decision-making on a comment to his post:

1) measurements and indicators are not the same thing, important point.

2) reliability is key, whether of a measure or indicator.

3) the use-case (type of decision you’re making) should drive the type of data used to make your measurement or indicator.

4) a measurement or indicator created for one use case may not transfer to a different use case.

Metaverse Vocabulary Words – Metaxis, Liminality, Stygmergy

Somewhere in checking out that tweet stream, I also came across Mark Childs’ (@markchilds) recent post exploring words that describe transitions, edges, limits, and perceptions of spaces, or places, or feelings of being present in a space or multiple spaces even.

Just go read the post, “Metaxis and Liminality“.

These concepts seem important for not just educators to understand, but also those of us working to create the Metaverse and places in virtual worlds.

My tweet about Mark’s post then sparked Leon Cych (@eyebeams) to share that they had local drama students acting out roles in Minecraft:

..the video of which relates to Midas’ golden touch played out in Minecraft, and that perfectly captures and visualizes the idea of stygmergya word I came to know and love through Sarah Robbins (@intellagirl) years ago when she was exploing using virtual worlds for teaching.  See her “Using a Faceted Classification Scheme to Predict the Future of Virtual Worlds”.  (I should link to her dissertation, but I can’t find a good link.)

Machine Learning, AI, and Science Fiction

After clicking through all that, I went back to Leon’s Twitter page to make sure I was following him (I am), and saw that he referenced the above tweet and forwarded Mark Child’s post on to Martin Robinson (@surrealanarchy), who apparently has changed his main Twitter account to @trivium21c (I followed that account, too).

I then ended up reading Martin Robinson’s tweet about machine learning and “When AI rules the world: what SF novels tell us about our future overlords.”

There are several books mentioned in there that I surely must read, now.  I might come back and list them, but I might not, so read the article and see for yourself which books you also need to read.

David Foster Wallace, which never gets old.

And in that AI & SF article, there was a link to a David Foster Wallace quote, which takes you to his “This is Water” commencement speech, posted, of all places, in the Wall Street Journal.

The perfect, beautiful hilarity of reading that speech on the WSJ website was so awesome, I thought, this is where I end my trip today.

Enjoy your morning coffee.

Wednesday's Daily Pulse

What You Need to Know About Florida Today

Will Short Gorham | 11/30/2011

Consumer confidence higher, but not in Florida

Americans' confidence in the economy in November rose to its highest level since July, but Florida did not share in the rebound. The Conference Board, a private research firm, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index rose 15 points to 56. That is up from a revised 40.9 in October -- the lowest level since the recession -- and the biggest jump since the 59.2 reading in July. Meanwhile, the Sunshine State's confidence index remained stuck at 65 this month, unchanged from the revised mark for October, a University of Florida phone survey showed. Read more from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and read the University of Florida report.

Poverty lurks in the shadows of Fantasyland

Once again, "60 Minutes" has shone a harsh spotlight on Central Florida's ugly secret: that Orlando isn't the place where every child's dream comes true. It's hard to dream, after all, when you're sleeping in your car. Or in a shelter. Or in a cheap motel room that your parents might not be able to afford another night. Yes, in the shadows of Cinderella Castle lurks the ugly reality of an economy built on low-paying jobs and now-stalled growth: widespread poverty. [Source: Orlando Sentinel]

Flexible work hours can be tough sell

One of the questions I most often hear from readers seeking work/life balance is "How do I get my manager to give me flexibility?" Sometimes it comes from a mother who is struggling to take care of an infant and keep her job. Other times, the question comes from a male boomer who can't stand the commute and wants to work from home a few mornings. Surprisingly, it even may come from someone whose company has a policy that embraces flexible work arrangements. Typically, it's a middle manager who stands in the way.

Publishing: Regional identity

For 25 years, beginning under Editor and CEO Gene Patterson, the St. Petersburg Times has operated under the strategy that an emerging regional marketplace would eventually support one newspaper. In November, the paper announced that it was formally embracing a regional identity and will rename itself the Tampa Bay Times as of Jan. 1. Times Chairman and CEO Paul Tash points out that 75% of the newspaper's circulation is outside St. Petersburg and says the name change was meant to "send a welcoming signal to readers and advertisers throughout the region." The Times, a for-profit paper owned by a non-profit journalism school, the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, is the largest newspaper in Florida and among the 20 largest in the country. More...

Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity Buckinghamshire

"A first class palliative care service"

Hospice Services

Florence Nightingale Hospice was built in the late 1980′s, as a result of a successful local public appeal which raised over £500,000. The Hospice was handed over to the Health Authority in October 1989 for the benefit of the local population and is now managed by the Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. In 2001 an extension was funded by the Charity, which now provides space for a Lymphoedema Clinic and Community Nurses office, and in 2015-2016 the Day Hospice was refurbished and extended, again funded by Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, with a large amount donated by The Walter Hazell Trust.

The aim of the Florence Nightingale Hospice is to provide a first class palliative care service which is accessible to the people of Aylesbury and the surrounding villages. A variety of services are offered to people within Buckinghamshire and parts of Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire. Click here to see if we cover your catchment area.

Thanks guys! I just went and read and re-read the 2008 rules and see that you are right WD40, so I'm now going with the 40 series. Thanks all, I'll let you know how I do this weekend on them.

Does anyone have any suggestions what-so-ever as to a starting air pressure for these? And should I get them mounted on the car and put some street miles on them before I head out to the race on sunday as a sort of a break in?

superdutyscaler 09-19-2012 07:21 PM

my 08 is only getting 4mpg!!!
actually its my sisters 08 4-cylinder that has dropped to 4mpg for the past few or so. It just hit 60k and 50% of the time after it warms up it has a vibration you feel when your sitting in it, but the motor is smooth as glass. Im figure its the fuel filter because its the size of chapstick and the 60k??? Need some help before i start ripping into plugs and injectors on a otherwise smooth powerful running motor

mikebontoft 09-19-2012 07:30 PM

I think its tune up time... also check for any vacuum leaks. there is the rubber PCV hose under the intake manifold that makes it a pain to find (manifold must be removed) but it can split and allow unmetered air into the engine.

it could also possibly be an 02 sensor, the front one.

you have to try hard to get 4mpg. very hard. no way is it running great.

Indy'sexclusiveZx3 09-19-2012 08:00 PM

I don't even see how that's possible my 1978 ford f150 with a 7.5l in it get 6 mpg, it would have to run supper rough and have a lest a check engine light on

rambleon84 09-19-2012 09:41 PM

miles driven divided by gallons of gas put into the tank equals four? no way... that's 56 miles on a full tank of 14 gallons.

do you smell gas? only way you are getting that poor of mpg is if; you are either leaking gas bad, some one is siphoning your tank or you are terrible at math

Indy'sexclusiveZx3 09-19-2012 10:59 PM

That's what Im saying there's no way

MyThIc3LiTe 09-19-2012 11:03 PM

So either;

1. Driven hard at all times.

2. Damage to the engine

3. Fuel is leaking out.

1 seems unlikely, even a Ferrari 599 gets 4MPG when driven on a track.

2 or 3 seem a lot more likely....

starfuryt550 09-20-2012 08:22 AM

It's impossible, unless you used the 4mpg for shock value lol.

How's the car running? Gotta give us a little more than that! A smooth running motor MUST have a leak or something of the sort for that to happen.

rambleon84 09-20-2012 12:20 PM

First post on a new account... Either he meant it was getting poor gas mileage and used 4 as a superlative or he's accessing this site on a laptop while under a bridge..

superdutyscaler 09-20-2012 12:39 PM

fst it dont my truck, its my sisters car. second she only getting about 100 miles out of a tank of gas for the past two months. And ive driven the catimes in the past week and it doesnt skip, rattle, thud or anything. It has very smooth power, no stumble or studs. Other then it only gwetting 100 miles out of a tank it runs very good for a four banger. Ive checked the pcm with a code reader and it has none, i checked the COP's and the injectores and all are fine. I figured the fuel filter because the dealer said we should change it ever 25k and the car just hit 60k so i figured it was this. I came to this forum for one reason to help out my sister because if it was my car it would have new plugs installed also and she only has a part time job now and she doesnt have alot of extra cash. But thanks alot for all the positive responses and if your ever in NJ and she a jacked up 6.0 F350 holler out my screen name and ill be sure to smoke yous the [:)][:)][:)][:)] out!

I will never ever ever be in NJ.

But since you ARE in NJ, maybe someone is siphoning her gasoline.

sailor Can't see up in there too well from the picture, looks like you just have a washer still on the shaft of that bolt to unscrew to get it apart.
01-05-2016 01:58 PM
Fstrsn Have you tried using an EZ-out on it?
01-05-2016 12:55 PM
newcoventry Good point! here is the pics that I was able to take.
View of the piece of remaining screw (snapped off flush) base is still held on the top of car with what is left, so I can't seem to attack this from the top.

and here is the top piece of the screw that snapped.

Thanks for any tips you might give.
01-04-2016 05:53 PM
A Focused Family Well that sucks lol. Never heard of that happening before. Not sure what tip to offer without seeing a pic first.

01-04-2016 06:40 AM
newcoventry In the process of attempting this repair the T25 screw snapped in half. I now can't get the old base off (although it is a bit looser) any ideas for removing the remaining piece of T25 screw and what size replacement to buy? -- Thanks!

Just a note:

You don't need a helper to do this. If you unscrew the torx bolt about halfway, the antenna base can be lifted up, and twisted off from the top. Saves you the potential pain of misplacing the washer.

Mr Orange SVT Thanks for putting this thread together. Until I saw it last month I was going to have the dealer do this for me. You definitely just saved me some money.

As you can see in the photos my base was in pretty bad condition but it's all better now.

Cold Weather? Perfect for Soup

All you really need to market and sell hot soup is a day of freezing cold weather. At Shepherd University, Shepherdstown, WV, soup is literally a warm welcome—the first thing chilly students see as they walk into the main dining hall.

“It’s been really cold, and having the soup station near the entrance is a great way to sell it,” Scott Anderson, associate director/executive chef at Shepherd University, wh

Fantastic Butter Roasted Chicken With Herbs

READY IN: 1hr 15mins
Recipe by Matthew Lightfoot

I used to have Roast Chicken a lot when I first starting living with my wife as it was a great cheap meal.This is what i used to do at the start of my Chef's Career and done it ever since!!

Top Review by HappyMommy1422

As far as roast chicken goes, this is one of the best recipes I've eaten. The skin gets really crispy and salty. I used dried tarragon as it was all I had on hand. Next time, I will probably pour out some of the butter that was left in the pan before making the gravy. The gravy turned out a little too oily.

Ingredients Nutrition

  1. With a sheet of kitchen towel, dab the chicken dry.
  2. Put half the butter and a sprig of one of the herbs inside the chicken.
  3. Place the chicken in a roasting tin and rub the remaining butter all over the skin (go on get your hands messy!) Season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with the remaining herbs.
  4. Roast in a hot oven (400F200°C,gas mark 6) for 20 minutes to each 1lb/500g plus 20 minutes.
  5. Baste the chicken several times during cooking.
  6. Remove the chicken and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile place the roasting tin on the stove,add the chicken stock and bring the juices to the boil scraping the good bits from the bottom.
  8. Add a little water to the cornflour and stir to form a liquid.
  9. Gradually add this into the boiling stock, stirring at all times, until thickened.
  10. Pour gravy into a gravy boat and serve chicken on a warmed serving dish.
  11. Great!

German Cucumber Salad

READY IN: 15mins
Recipe by Dreamer in Ontario

I grew up eating this salad and love it. It's a bit different than most North American cucumber salads I've seen as there is no sour cream in it, only a simple oil and vinegar dressing. Usually it's been made using only cucumbers but sometime cooked green and/or yellow beans and/or tomatoes are added. The quantity of oil and vinegar dressing may need to be adjusted if additional veggies are used.

Top Review by Papa D 1946-2012

Delicious cucumber salad, which made for an excellent side dish to Recipe #476734 that I had last night for supper. I used extra virgin olive oil with balsamic vinegar and pepper. Thanks for posting! Made for More Than Sauerkraut & Dumplings in the German Forum.

Ingredients Nutrition

  1. Place sliced cucumbers, chopped onions and other veggies if using in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk salad oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together.
  3. Pour dressing over cucumbers and mix well.
  4. Adjust seasonings and add a bit of sugar if needed.

Spaghetti in White Sauce (Carbonara Style)

Be the first to review
READY IN: 35mins
Recipe by cynful delights29

This recipe is my personal favorite. I always do it ahead, store in the freezer, and heat it up and just pour it in freshly cooked pasta! I've been preparing this pasta dish since my kids were in grade school. Now that all three of them are in college, it's still a mainstay in my weekly menu!

Ingredients Nutrition

  1. Fry bacon in nonstick pan until fat is rendered. Set aside the bacon (discard the bacon fat if you don't want to mix this). At the same pan put the butter, add the mushrooms, then mix the heavy cream , evaporated milk , and beef cubes. Reduce the heat. Season with salt & pepper. Thicken the mixture with cornstarch mixed in water. Your sauce is ready once you get your desired consistency.
  2. Boil the pasta accdg to package directions ( "al dente" is preferred). (for al dente pasta, boil it for exactly 10 minutes while stirring). Important: when pasta is done, put it in a strainer, and do not rinse in running water. Just stir a little butter to separate the strands.
  3. Now, you may mix the pasta & the prepared sauce,.
  4. and top with parmesan cheese. This dish is perfect with garlic bread.

Tomato, Mozzarella and Olive Tart

Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 5mins
Recipe by Wild Thyme Flour

A tart full of Mediterranean flavour. Do not omit the fresh thyme but you can replace it with fresh marjoram or oregano.

Ingredients Nutrition

  1. Make the pastry by mixing the flour, thyme, olive oil and salt in a processor on high speed. with the motor still running, add the water. The pastry should feel a bit like pizza dough. Cover in plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  3. In the meantime slice the mozzarella and tomatoes and chop the garlic.
  4. Spray cooking spray on the tart pan or alternatively melt some margarine and use a brush. Now, roll out the pastry and line the bottom and sides of the pan. I use a square 23cm OR a 30 cm circular tart tray.
  5. Cover the pastry with a sheet of baking paper, then use baking beans to weigh the pastry down. ( you may use ordinary dry legumes and then keep using them for this purpose). BAKE for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the Baking Beans and sheet of paper.
  7. Now start overlapping slices of tomato and mozzarella, so that all the bottom is covered.
  8. Using a brush cover the slices in olive oil. Add the chopped garlic, thyme and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Bake 10 more minutes, add the chopped olives, then bake a further 10 minutes. (This ensures that the olives don't get burnt or too dry).
  10. This tart can be enjoyed straight from the oven or at room temperature on a hot day.

All Natural Diabetes Cookbook
by Jackie Newgent
These meatballs are so good that you'll be surprised at how few calories they have... just 35 each! It's the soy sauce that provides the deliciousness called "umami."Now that's worth celebrating—and these perky meatbalh are definitely party-worthy. Serve them with Zesty Orange-Ginger Dip (see recipe below) fora yin-yang flavor appeal.
Serves 10, Serving size: 2 meatballs

    • 1 lb lean ground pork (antibiotic free)
    • 2 Tbsp cold water
    • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion
    • 2 Tbsp whole wheat bread crumbs
    • 2 Tbsp naturally brewed reduced-sodium soy sauce
    • 1 large garlic clove, minced
    • Zesty Orange-Ginger Dip (below)

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. In a medium bowl, add all ingredients and combine with your hands, then make 20 meatballs (about 2 Tbsp mixture each). Moisten hands with water when forming the meatballs if the mixture becomes sticky.

3. Place the meatballs on a nonstick baking pan and bake 15 minutes or until done. Serve on toothpicks.

Food Flair:
In a spicy mood? Add about 1/4 tsp each freshly ground black pepper and ground cayenne red pepper into the pork mixture before forming the meatballs.

The secret to this dip is its tanginess and tartness. It works its magic best with savory dishes.
Serves 10, serving size: 2 Tbsp

    • 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
    • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
    • 3 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
    • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
    • 1/2 tsp orange zest (grated peel)

In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt and oil until well combined. Whisk in the juice, ginger, and zest.

Food Flair: Dips can often double as condiments. Spread this cool condiment onto chicken, pork, or turkey sandwiches.

Texas Roadhouse

R is the official queen of chain restaurants. It’s not by choice, it’s by family requirement. Name any chain restaurant and she’ll tell you what she’d order. She has their phone numbers on speed dial. I wouldn’t make this up. So for a birthday dinner for this christmas jewish baby, I told her she could pick whatever chain restaurant she wanted.

And thus, we landed at Texas Roadhouse. Until R told me about it a bit back, I’d never heard of it. Mostly because there isn’t one near me. The closest is in Montgomeryville.

You get to eat peanuts while you wait, and they even give you a bucket of peanuts at your table. Best part? You get to throw the shells anywhere you damn well please. Or at least on the ground. They’re actually good peanuts to boot.
You get a basket of delicious rolls. Damn, these rolls were dreamy. Warm, sweet, delicious, and served with softened cinnamon butter. Hot diggity! These rolls would make a fine meal.
Most entrees come with two sides, so I got a mixed salad as one of them. This is the type of salad I love. No fancy microgreens to be found, chunks of tomato, hard boiled eggs, cheese, croutons, and an awesome vinaigrette. I loved this salad.
R got her old standby: oven roasted chicken (which is half a freakin chicken), with sides of mashed and apple sauce. They slow roast this puppy until it’s super tender and moist.
I went with the country fried chicken and a baked sweet potato. This chicken was huge. That ain’t a small plate. And it was flattened, battered, fried, and doused with delicious gravy. You know how I feel about gravy. And I love me some sweet potatoes, so I was all about this one which was cooked to perfection.

This is a familiy restaurant, so there’s some shenanigans that go on here. If it’s your birthday, they come out and sing to you and make you sit on a saddle. They dance. There’s lots of hootin and hollerin. They also sing other stuff. This goes on all night. But the food is extremely affordable. Even the drinks are affordable. The portions are large but not freakishly large. And the food is good, yo. This is why places like these are popular. And for another birthday, I’d certainly come back.

TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — Taunton officials say turkey vultures are to blame for up to $10,000 in damage to the roof of a city school.

Building Superintendent Wayne Walkden says the vultures roost on the roof of Hopewell Elementary School and peck at the rubber membrane. He tells The Taunton Daily Gazette (http://bit.ly/11SON8i) that he counted 60 of the carrion-eating birds on the roof at one point last year.

The vultures have disappeared for the winter, but Walkden fears they will return in the warmer weather and cause more damage.

Getting rid of the birds is complicated. They are federally protected, so can't simply be killed.

Walkden says the city is consulting with environmental groups to figure out ways of discouraging the birds from roosting on the roof.

Soit Sambu Primary School

Soit Sambu Primary School currently has 11 teachers and approximately 550 students. The community started a fund to construct classrooms for the school but asked for FoTZC’s assistance to build teachers’ housing. This area of Tanzania is so remote that a school must provide housing before the Tanzanian government will assign it any teachers. The housing FoTZC completed in 2011 was being used by teachers immediately, and the school has requested additional housing in order to increase its teaching staff of 11.

Random Thoughts Today

Some rambling random thoughts for today:

{Taken at Youth Haven Ranch July 2011}

This is one of my favorite photo shots from 2011 and it seems an appropriate photo for today, Martin Luther King Jr. day.  Yesterday in church we read Dr. King's speech "Paul's Letter to American Christians".  In this speech he talks about Sunday morning being the "most segregated hour of Christian America". Dr. Kind delivered this speech in 1956 and I hope that now, 56 years later, this is becoming less true of the American Christian church. I'm afraid, though, that we still have a long way to go. But there are changes. There is growth. I'm pleased that it is changing in my own church. And the children are leading us! This is what the above picture represents for me. Young children don't care about the things that tend to separate us as adults. They're just looking for someone to be a friend with. May we learn from them and from Dr. King.
"I still believe that love is the most durable power in the world. Over the centuries men have sought to discover the highest good. This has been the chief quest of ethical philosophy. This was one of the big questions of Greek philosophy. I think I have an answer America. It is love.  This principle stands at the center of the cosmos. As John says, "God is love." He who loves is a participant in the being of God. He who hates does not know God. It is here we find the true meaning of the Christian faith. This is at bottom the meaning of the cross...."  (from Paul's Letter to American Christians)

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35

I am determined that I WILL FINISH my Advent Art Journal, even if it takes me till spring. I am almost all the way through the first three weeks. Recent pages completed:

I'm loving collaged and painted backgrounds right now. I find that when I simply set out to make some background pages, the creativity flood gates open wide!

As usual, I am involved in multiple things at the same time. I am taking a year long class with Stephanie Ackerman that mixes faith, art journaling, doodling, and soul searching. January's prompt is "Being honest with yourself". My cover page for January:

Scripture on the tag is 1 Thessalonians 5:23: "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Enough rambling for one day. :)

Animal control removes anaconda from toilet in Va. apartment

- Animal control officers in Arlington County got a big surprise while responding to a call at an apartment last week – an anaconda in a toilet!

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington said Officer Brenys White was able to get the snake out of the toilet safely and bring it back to their shelter.

The humane organization said it was able to find a new home for the snake as a specialist familiar with the species was found to provide care for the juvenile yellow anaconda.

“We highly encourage anyone thinking about having a snake as a pet to do extremely thorough research to determine whether they will be able to adequately care for their snake,” the Animal Welfare League of Arlington wrote on its Facebook page. “Fully grown, Yellow Anacondas can be up to 13ft long and weigh more than 100lbs. They need specialized care and housing, and while they are non-venomous, can be dangerous when they reach full size and are not well-socialized.”
