Welcome to your Weekly Mixtape October 27, 2012.
Joining a chorus composed of just about every other human being with ears, I took to the Internets earlier this week to load some praise onto Kendrick Lamar's sophomore album, good kid, m.A.A.d. city.
One of that album's salient qualities that escaped mention in my earlier ramblings was how consistently it scores by avoiding the easy, cheap and convenient. "Backseat Freestyle" offers the LP's closest approximation of a chest-thumping boast, but even on this track Lamar tempers his wish fulfillment with humor, sly observation and a faint melancholy, creeping in around the edges.
Forget everything I said about his talent as a rapper; the most impressive thing about Snoop Dogg is the embarrassment-defying Teflon that he seems to have slathered across his body like a second skin. The man's endorsement deals long ago crossed over from cloying to endearing, which is the only reason I can see why turning "Pop It Like It's Hot" into a Hot Pockets commercial can be carried out without ripping a hole in the fabric of reality exactly the size and shape of good taste.
Chalk up another win for the Taylor Gang. The beat for Tuki Carter's "Hold Up Roll Up" is so much fun that all Carter, Wiz Khalifa and Chevy Woods really have to do is make sure that their verses don't slow the track's bounding roll. Like much of the Khalifa-affiliated oeuvre, "Hold Up Roll Up" doesn't exactly plumb the depths of the human experience, but as a direct shot of "good" aimed at your auditory pleasure centers, it ranks among the fall's finest.
On their own, Travis Barker and Yelawolf rank among the ten most obnoxious human beings on the planet. When combined, they form a super-powered Megazord of obnoxious that I am nonetheless strangely compelled toward.
I wish they wouldn't call it "Psycho White" because that really really sounds like the name of a skinhead gang.


Christian Welch is available to play against the Raiders after accepting an early plea for his grade one Dangerous Contact charge.
The young prop was cited for the incident that occurred in the 69th minute of Storm's 15-14 golden point win over the Rabbitohs.
Welch has now received 75 carry over points, which will remain for the rest of the season.


In the editor you can assign what rank you want to any soldiers. The highest ranked soldier in a squad will be that squad's leader.
In this fashion, you can only become squad leader if you are in the second position and the squad leader leaves (you will be notified with a big heads-up "You are now the Squad Leader" notice). Edit: It is possible to make a squad mid-battle.

Discovering Germany's Waterfront: A 7-Day Itinerary
Home•Blog•Discovering Germany's Waterfront: A 7-Day Itinerary
Germany is more than just Bavaria. Most first-time travelers may think of the country as being comprised of beautiful mountain landscapes and perhaps not-so-beautiful Lederhosen (depending on the wearer). But in reality, it's a diverse country that can offer something for everyone.
For example, Germany's coastal lands are well-known within the country for their beauty and uniqueness. This 7-day travel itinerary can help you experience the country's waterfront and bring back memories for a lifetime in only a week.
Day 1: Start in Hamburg
At Auto France we have two locations to pickup a Peugeot in Germany, Frankfurt and Munich. If you arrive in Frankfurt, your first step should be to get to the country's northern Metropolis: Hamburg. Just a few hours away by car, Hamburg is home to almost 2 million residents along with the second-busiest port in Europe.
Since its founding more than 1,200 years ago, the city has derived its fame and fortune from a rich seafaring culture. Here, you can visit the Speicherstadt, a warehouse complex reminiscent of Venice with canals for streets that was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015. The port itself is home to a number of museum ships, such as the freighter Cap San Diego and the sailing ship Rickmer Rickmers.
Day 2: A Boat Ride to Helgoland
From Hamburg's port, you can take a day trip to Germany's only offshore island: Helgoland. In just 75 minutes, a catamaran ferry gets you to the island, inhabited by just over 1,000 residents on a permanent basis. The island's most distinctive feature are its red cliffs, but it's also famous around Europe for its Helgoland Lobster. Helgoland has been praised even by Germany's most famous author, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Day 3: Travel to Sylt
Back in Hamburg, another convenient daytrip awaits: Sylt has been described by the New York Times as Germany's Hamptons, as countless celebrities make their home on the North Sea island.
At the same time, it's also an ideal destination for Northern Germans simply wanting to enjoy the wind, sea, and beach of the North Frisian islands for a day. The island is accessible via car-carrying train, getting visitors from Hamburg over the Hindenburg Damm and to its main city Westerland in just under 3 hours.
Day 4: Experience the Watt
While enjoying your time in the North Frisian islands, you have the perfect opportunity to experience another opportunity unique to the German, Dutch, and Danish North Sea: the Watt. Here, thanks to unique sand and low sea depths, the water can retract for miles and lay bare a clay that's both nourishing and fun to walk on.
Its unique features make the Watt the second UNESCO World Heritage Site on your trip. Take a guided tour, or explore it on your own - but pay careful attention to tide schedules as the returning water can turn mud into North Sea in a matter of minutes.
Day 5: Travel to Luebeck
From Sylt, take a trip to Luebeck - despite its relatively small size, one of the most famous cities in Northern Germany. Here, you can appreciate the differences between the North and Baltic sea, while also taking a stroll through the remarkable old city. The Holstentor city gate and 13th century St. Mary's Church are particularly worthy of a visit.
Day 6: A Trip to Ruegen
From Luebeck, it's just over two hours by car to Ruegen - Germany's largest island, located toward the east of the country in the Baltic Sea. It's particularly famous for its white cliffs and beaches, the latter have given it the nickname of Germany's mediterranean island among residents in the region.
Day 7: Return to Frankfurt
Finally, it's time for the trip home. If you leave from Frankfurt, you will want to plan in a travel day - via car, the trip takes between 7 and 8 hours. But if you have the right rental car, that time on Germany's Autobahns will fly by. And before you know it, you're back in Frankfurt, ready to take the trip home with a fuller understanding of Germany's waterfront.
The above itinerary is realistic with a car, using Frankfurt as your home base. So in your planning, be sure to find the right car that fits your group size for a trip from the North to the Baltic Sea. To learn more about how we can help you find that car, contact us.

McMillin History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Scotland's coastal mountains and Hebrides islands were known in ancient times as the kingdom of Dalriada. The name McMillin evolved there as a nickname for a bald person; the name may refer to a member of a religious order. The Gaelic forms of the name are Mac Mhaolain or Mac Ghille Mhaoil, both of which mean son of the bald or tonsured one.
However, the origins of the Clan have been shrouded in uncertainty, largely as a result of historians of the Clan Buchanan, and their insistence that both Clans have a common ancestry. Buchanan of Auchmar says that the MacMillans are descended from Methlan, second son of Anselan, a Buchanan Chief of the thirteenth century. His theory supports the Buchanan claim that the MacMillans are but a sept (sub-Clan) of the Buchanan rather than a Clan in their own right. This theory is supported by the contention that both Clans have an ecclesiastical origin: MacMillan being Anglicized from Maolanach, meaning a 'priest.' However, tradition may more properly ascribe the origin from a particular tribe in Moray that has descended from the ancient Pictish tribe of Kanteai, thought to have existed in the first half of the second century AD.
Early Origins of the McMillin family
The surname McMillin was first found in at Tayside, where in 1263 Cilleonan MacMolan appears on documents. [1] They arrived in Strathtay from the lands in Loch Arkaig after King Malcolm IV transplanted many Clans, including the MacMillans, from that region about 1160 AD. Later, about 1350, the Camerons, who had changed their name to Chalmers, drove them from their Strathtay territories.
In vacating the Strathtay, the Clan branched to many other areas, including Lochaber, Argyll and Galloway. The senior branch, however, were the MacMillans of Knapdale, and they held a grant from the Lord of the Isles inscribed in Latin on a rock at Knap: 'MacMillan's right to Knap shall be, as long as this rock withstands the sea.'
Malcolm Mor MacMillan had received this rock by the 14th century. His grandson Lachlan MacMillan died at the Battle of Harlaw in 1411. Lachlan's son, Alan MacMillan of Knap, married the McNeill heiress and took over the Castle Sween. He erected a cross, which still stands to this day in Kilmory churchyard. The cross stands better than twelve feet high and is elaborately engraved, showing a Highland Chief hunting a deer on one side, and a claymore surmounted by certain Clan members on the other.
Early History of the McMillin family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our McMillin research. Another 267 words (19 lines of text) covering the years 1775, 1790, 1452, 1454, 1540, 1555, 1670, 1753, 1670, 1745 and 1745 are included under the topic Early McMillin History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
McMillin Spelling Variations
Spelling in the medieval era was a highly imprecise process. Translation, particularly from Gaelic to English, was little better. For these reasons, early Scottish names are rife with spelling variations. In various documents McMillin has been spelled MacMillan, MacMullan, MacMullen, McMullen, McMullin, McMullan, McMillan, MacMullin and many more.
Early Notables of the McMillin family (pre 1700)
Notable amongst the Clan from early times was Sir Duncan Macmolane, a Pope's knight, chaplain of the collegiate church of Kilmone, 1452; John Macmulan (Makmilane, or Makmylan), bailie (baillie) of Glasgow in 1454; Sir Fingon Makmulane, who was presented in 1540 to the chaplainry of Tibbermore in the diocese of...

Migration of the McMillin family to Ireland
Some of the McMillin family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
McMillin migration to the United States +
Many settled along the east coast of what would become the United States and Canada. As the American War of Independence broke out, those who remained loyal to the crown went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these hardy Dalriadan-Scottish settlers began to recover their collective history in the 20th century with the advent of the vibrant culture fostered by highland games and Clan societies in North America. Highland games, clan societies, and other organizations generated much renewed interest in Scottish heritage in the 20th century. The McMillin were among the earliest of the Scottish settlers as immigration passenger lists have shown:

All Top Ten ListsSportsIce Hockey
Top Ten Best Teams of the 2019-2020 NHL Season
Quite often the NHL regular season has one team quite far ahead. Usually the president's trophy winner has quite a few more points than the 2nd in line. And so far this year it has been very close between three teams (Bruins, Capitals, and Blue), and the Lightning are soaring into the mix. But, the best team doesn't mean, the team that's going to win the president's trophy, it means the team that has the most talent, which is usually the team that's going to win the Cup! So basically, vote for what team you has the most great players combined with chemistry, just the overall talent of the team.
1 Boston Bruins The Boston Bruins are a professional ice hockey team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Bruins compete in the National Hockey League as a member club of the league's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.
I was quite surprised, and happy, when they lost to the Blues in the finals last year, I thought they had the Cup for sure. This year I have predicted them to win the Cup again, let's hope I'm wrong. But with the skill they have, Bergeron (who's currently leading the league in goals), Marchand, Rask, Debrusk, Krug, to name a few, they are massive Cup contenders and my #1 on this list. Poo.
2 St. Louis Blues The St. Louis Blues are a professional ice hockey team in St. Louis, Missouri. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
To be honest, I didn't see them doing so great this regular season, but they're majorly proving me wrong. Quite stupid of me, them being the Stanley Cup champions! Anyways, they're a very talented team, who could very well repeat a Cup win. I'd rather them than the Bruins.
3 Tampa Bay Lightning The Tampa Bay Lightning are a professional ice hockey team based in Tampa, Florida. It is a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. The Lightning have three Stanley Cup championships in their history, in 2003-04, 2019-20, and 2020-21.
At the start of this season, I was very skeptical of them, they were looking quite lame, like they did in the 2019 playoffs. But in December they took off, and are back in president's trophy contention. I believe that they will do much better this upcoming playoffs, they'll be way more ready for it, and there will be no surprise attacks this time.
They won the Stanley Cup!
4 Pittsburgh Penguins The Pittsburgh Penguins (colloquially known as the Pens) are a professional ice hockey team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are one of two NHL franchises in Pennsylvania, ...read more.
After they won their last Cup in 2017, I personally thought their Cup contention would quickly end. But, again, I was wrong. They are major Cup contenders again. If Tirstan Jerry can continue his great goaltending on into the playoffs, I think the Pens have another great shot at a championship. I'm sick of the Penguins, so let's hope they aren't that good this upcoming playoffs.
5 Washington Capitals The Washington Capitals (colloquially known as the Caps) are a professional ice hockey team based in Washington, D.C. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Capitals are owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, headed ...read more.
They're having another great regular season, which doesn't mean much to me. Since 2016, the Capitals have been repeatedly finishing in the top 5 teams in the league, 2018 being the only exception. In 2018 they finished 6th, but won the Cup. Basically what I'm trying to say is, for the Caps, regular season stats don't matter that much. But they did win the Cup a couple years ago, so we know they have it in them. And Ovechkin is deadly.
6 Arizona Coyotes The Arizona Coyotes are a professional ice hockey team based in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona.
A new Cup contender! After, in my opinion, stealing Taylor Hall from the Devils, they've become one of my Cup favourites. On the downside, they aren't a very experienced playoff team, I mean, the passed 5 or so years they've kind of sucked. But who knows, maybe they'll rock the playoffs. And Kuemper is a great goalie to have!
7 Carolina Hurricanes The Carolina Hurricanes are a professional ice hockey team based in Raleigh, North Carolina. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.
As of me writing this, they're 10th in the league. But I see them as a top Cup contender, last playoffs they upset the Cup champions and then swept the Islanders, then sadly got swept by the Bruins. I feel that there's a good chance that Bruins and Canes will meet up again this upcoming playoffs, and the outcome would probably be the same. I personally am hoping the Canes get far.
8 Dallas Stars The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
Everyone must remember that the Stars took the Blues to game 7 in 2019, obviously the Blue then went to win the Cup. The Stars were so close to changing that outcome. I see them as more of a sneaky team, who could pop out of nowhere and win the Cup.
9 New York Islanders The New York Islanders are a professional ice hockey team based in the New York metropolitan area. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.
I see the Islanders as a very weak playoff team. I know you might think me crazy for saying that, but I just sense some 2016 Washington Capitals stuff going on with them. But I'm super impressed with how they've played without Tavares. It's quite crazy.
10 Calgary Flames The Calgary Flames are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Flames are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
Oh, the Flames. So much talents, but not much connection. Later season they were looking great, finishing 2nd in the league, people thought they might take the Cup home, but that quickly ended with the Avs. And like I said with the Lightning, the Flames will be more ready this playoffs, and it's looking like they'll be the underdogs this playoffs. I hope they can connect. Go Flames Go!
11 Vegas Golden Knights The Vegas Golden Knights are a professional ice hockey team based in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. Founded in 2017 as an expansion team, the Golden Knights are the first major sports franchise ...read more.
12 Vancouver Canucks The Vancouver Canucks are an ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
13 Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers are a professional ice hockey team based in Edmonton, Alberta. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
14 Toronto Maple Leafs The Toronto Maple Leafs, officially the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club and often simply referred to as the Leafs, are a professional ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.
15 Winnipeg Jets The Winnipeg Jets are a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Ray McGovern: NYC 9/11 Trial Will Shine the Lights on the Roots of Terrorism

NYC 9/11 Trial Will Shine the Lights on the Roots of Terrorism
By Ray McGovern, Consortium News
Posted on November 17, 2009, Printed on November 21, 2009
http://www.alternet.org/story/144014/
Media commentary on the upcoming 9/11 trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has raised concern that state secrets may be divulged, including details about how the Bush administration used torture to extract evidence about al-Qaeda.
"I think that we're going to shine a light on something that a lot of people don't want to look at" is how American Civil Liberties Union attorney Denney LeBoeuf put it, according to The New York Times on Saturday.
No problem, says Attorney General Eric Holder, who claims to have "great confidence" that other evidence – apart from what may have been gleaned from the 183 times Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded, for example – will suffice to convict him.
Maybe so, But what the Fawning Corporate Media (or FCM) have so far neglected is the likelihood that the testimony will be so public that they will have to break their studied silence about why Sheikh Mohammed and his associates say they orchestrated the attacks of 9/11.
For reasons that are painfully obvious, the FCM have done their best to ignore or bury the role that Israel's repression of the Palestinians has played in motivating the 9/11 attacks and other anti-Western terrorism.
It is not like there is no evidence on this key issue. Rather, it appears that the Israel-Palestine connection is pretty much kept off limits for discussion.
Yet, as Sheikh Mohammed and the other alleged 9/11 conspirators go to trial, the FCM's tacit but tight embargo will be under great strain. Eyes will have to be averted from the sensitive Israeli-Palestinian motive even more than from torture, which most Americans know about (and, God help us, are willing to explain away).
The Bromides
To refresh our memories, let's recall the bromides we were fed by the likes of President George W. Bush about why the terrorists attacked on 9/11.
Rather than mentioning long-held grievances expressed by many Arabs – such as Western intrusion into their region, Washington's propping up of autocrats who enrich themselves in deals with multinational oil companies, and Israel's military occupation of Palestinian territory – Bush told the American people that "the terrorists hate our freedoms."
Former Vice President Dick Cheney reprised that feel-good theme in a speech to the American Enterprise Institute on May 21. Cheney said the terrorists hate "all the things that make us a force for good in the world — for liberty, for human rights, for the rational, peaceful resolution of differences."
Some observers might have found those qualities strange for Cheney to cite given his role in violating constitutional rights, torturing captives and spreading falsehoods to justify an aggressive war against Iraq.
But Cheney also slipped up in the speech, presumably because he had lost his best speechwriters upon leaving office. He inadvertently acknowledged the Israeli albatross hanging around the neck of U.S. policy in the Middle East.
"They [terrorists] have never lacked for grievances against the United States. Our belief in freedom of speech and religion … our belief in equal rights for women … our support for Israel… — these are the true sources of resentment," Cheney said.
Yet "our support for Israel" is hardly ever included in these formulations, but Cheney at least got that part right.
Rarely in the FCM – and not even often on the Web – does one find Sheikh Mohammed's explanation for what motivated him to "mastermind" 9/11. Apparently, few pundits have made it as far as page 147 of the 9/11 Commission Report.
The drafters were at work on the report when they learned that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had been captured. They knew that he earned a degree in mechanical engineering from North Carolina A&T in Greensboro in 1986, before going to Afghanistan to fight the Russian occupier.
And it seems their first assumption was that he suffered some major indignity at the hands of Americans in Greensboro. Thus the strange wording of one major finding on page 147 of the 9/11 Commission Report:
"By his own account, KSM's animus toward the United States stemmed not from his experience there as a student, but rather from his violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel."
Moreover, the footnote section reveals that KSM was not the only "mastermind" terrorist motivated by "U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel," although in the footnote the Commission dances around a specific reference to Israel, leaving it to the reader to infer that point from the context. Note the missing words in the footnote on page 488:
"On KSM's rationale for attacking the United States, see Intelligence report, interrogation of KSM, Sept. 5, 2003 (in this regard, KSM's statements echo those of Yousef, who delivered an extensive polemic against U.S. foreign policy at his January 1998 sentencing)," the footnote said.
Was Yousef, who happens to be Mohammed's nephew, perhaps upset about U.S. foreign policy favoring NATO expansion, or maybe toward Guam? Obviously, the unstated inference in the footnote was about Israel.
The family connection between Yousef and Mohammed was not incidental, either. "Yousef's instant notoriety as the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing inspired KSM to become involved in planning attacks against the United States," the 9/11 Commission Report noted on page 147.
The 1993 World Trade Center bombing occurred on Feb. 26, 1993, when a car bomb was detonated below Tower One. The 1,500-pound urea nitrate-hydrogen gas-enhanced device was intended to knock the North Tower (Tower One) into the South Tower, bringing both towers down and killing thousands of people.
It failed to accomplish that, but the bombing did kill six people and injured 1,042.
Motive? Ramzi Yousef spelled out his motive in a letter to The New York Times after the bombing:
"We declare our responsibility for the explosion on the mentioned building. This action was done in response for the American political, economical, and military support to Israel, the state of terrorism, and to the rest of the dictator countries in the region."
Yousef was captured in Pakistan in 1995, imprisoned in New York City, and held there until his trial. On Nov. 12, 1997, he was convicted of "seditious conspiracy" and was sentenced the following January to life without parole. He is held at the high-security Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.
Regarding the touchy Israel connection, the 9/11 Commission stepped up to the plate in the "Recommendations" section of its final report, which was issued on July 22, 2004, but then bunted:
"America's policy choices have consequences. Right or wrong, it is simply a fact that American policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and American actions in Iraq are dominant staples of popular commentary across the Arab and Muslim world. … Neither Israel nor the new Iraq will be safer if worldwide Islamist terrorism grows stronger." (pp 376-377)
A more convincing swing at this issue was taken in an unclassified study published by the Pentagon-appointed U.S. Defense Science Board on Sept. 23, 2004, just two months later. The board stated:
"Muslims do not 'hate our freedom,' but rather, they hate our policies. The overwhelming majority voice their objections to what they see as one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights, and the longstanding, even increasing support for what Muslims collectively see as tyrannies, most notably Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan, and the Gulf States.
"Thus, when American public diplomacy talks about bringing democracy to Islamic societies, this is seen as no more than self-serving hypocrisy."
The report directly contradicted what Bush had been saying about "why they hate us," letting the elephant out of the bag and into the room, so to speak.
But, you say, you didn't hear much about that report either, despite 24-hour cable "news" networks and the "change-everything" importance of 9/11 in justifying U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq?
Creative Editing
If you've read down this far, you will not be surprised that the FCM ignored the Defense Science Board findings for two months. On Nov. 24, 2004, The New York Times, erstwhile "newspaper of record," finally published a story on the report — but only after some highly instructive surgery.
Thom Shanker of the Times quoted the paragraph beginning with "Muslims do not 'hate our freedom'" (see above), but he or his editors deliberately cut out the following sentence about what Muslims do object to, i.e., "what they see as one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights" and support for tyrannical regimes.
The Times did include the sentence that immediately followed the omitted one. In other words, it was not simply a matter of shortening the paragraph. Rather, the offending middle sentence fell victim to the "delete" key.
Similarly creative editing showed through the Times' reporting in late October 2004 on a videotaped speech by Osama bin Laden. Almost six paragraphs of the story made it onto page one, but the Times saw to it that the key point bin Laden made at the beginning of his speech was relegated to paragraphs 23 to 25 at the very bottom of page nine.
Buried there was bin Laden's assertion that the idea for 9/11 first germinated after "we witnessed the oppression and tyranny of the American-Israeli coalition against our people in Palestine and Lebanon."
There is other evidence regarding the Israeli-Palestinian motive behind 9/11.
Though Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was not allowed to talk to the attorneys in the 2006 trial of 9/11 co-conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, the judge did allow into the official record a statement by Mohammed on the "Purpose of the 9/11 Attacks," which was drawn from "numerous written summaries of Sheikh Mohammed's oral statements in response to extensive questioning."
The following statement from Sheikh Mohammed appears on page 11 of Defense Trial Exhibit 941 from "United States v. Zacarias Moussaoui, Criminal No. 01-455-A":
"Sheikh Mohammed said that the purpose of the attack on the Twin Towers was to 'wake the American people up.' Sheikh Mohammed said that if the target would have been strictly military or government, the American people would not focus on the atrocities that America is committing by supporting Israel against the Palestinian people and America's self-serving foreign policy that corrupts Arab governments and leads to further exploitation of the Arab/Muslim peoples."
Some recent articles about Mohammed's upcoming trial also have mentioned the Israel-Palestine motive behind 9/11, though usually in passing and deep inside the stories. For instance, Sunday's New York Times carries a front-page article giving a "portrait of 9/11 'Jackal,'" Mohammed.
But one has to read deep into the jump on page 26 to learn that the original plan for the 9/11 attacks envisioned Mohammed flying on one of 10 planes that were to be hijacked and that "he would be on the one plane not to crash, and after the plane landed would emerge and deliver a speech condemning American policy on Israel."
Revisionist View
Yet, the Fawning Corporate Media won't stop performing its creative editing – or creative composition – to obscure this motive. Never mind what the 9/11 Commission Report said about Mohammed not being driven by resentments from his college days in North Carolina, the Washington Post offered a revisionist view on that point on Aug. 30:
"KSM's limited and negative experience in the United States — which included a brief jail stay because of unpaid bills — almost certainly helped propel him on his path to becoming a terrorist," according to an intelligence summary, the Post reported. "He stated that his contact with Americans, while minimal, confirmed his view that the United States was a debauched and racist country."
A telling revision perhaps extracted from one of Mohammed's 183 waterboarding sessions – and certainly politically more convenient in that it obscured Mohammed's other explanation implicating "U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel."
But let's look for a moment at the "debauched and racist" part. Could Mohammed be speaking some truth here – and not just about his college days of the 1980s?
Would the Washington Post's editors be so supportive of the "war on terror" if captives from a more favored ethnic or religious group were stripped naked before members of the opposite sex, put in diapers, immobilized with shackles in stress positions for long periods, denied sleep and made to soil themselves?
In my view, racism comes very much into play here. If Mohammed and other detainees looked more like us, would it be so easy to demonize and waterboard them? [See, for example, Consortiumnews.com's "Bush's Interrogators Stressed Nudity."]
At rare moments, however, hard truths about the 9/11 motivations slip out – although not in high-profile presidential speeches nor in Washington Post op-eds. For instance, at a public hearing in June 2004, 9/11 Commissioner Lee Hamilton asked a panel of government experts, "What motivated them [the hijackers] to do it?"
The CIA analyst in the group is seen in some panic, directing his eyes toward the other panelists in the all-too-obvious hope that someone else will answer the politically loaded question. FBI Supervisory Special Agent James Fitzgerald rose to the occasion, saying:
"I believe they feel a sense of outrage against the United States. They identify with the Palestinian problem; they identify with people who oppose oppressive regimes, and I believe they tend to focus their anger on the United States."
For Hamilton and his colleagues that proved to be a politically incorrect answer. Ergo, you will not find that testimony in the 9/11 Commission Report. And notably absent from the report's recommendations is any suggestion as to how one might address the question of Israeli treatment of Palestinians and U.S. support for it.
In their book Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission, Chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton are unusually candid in admitting that this issue was so sensitive and contentious that they chose the course of least resistance.
Despite the findings of the Commission staff – and FBI Agent Fitzgerald – that the hijackers were not motivated by religious ideology, many of the Commissioners much preferred attributing the attacks to Islam than to U.S. policy toward Israel.
Kean and Hamilton explain that those commissioners were dead set against identifying Israel as a major factor motivating the terrorists, because someone might get the idea that Washington should reassess its policy.
But it's a legitimate and urgent question: Would a more determined commitment by the U.S. government to secure an independent state for the Palestinians and to alleviate their suffering undercut the appeal of al-Qaeda and other extremist groups to young people in the Muslim world?
Or put differently, why should ardent supporters of Israel in the U.S. Congress behave in such a way as to make the Muslim world view the United States as disinterested in the plight of the Palestinians and thus increase the danger of future attacks against the United States, as well as against Israel?
The Goldstone Report
The rest of the world and most Americans opposed the Israeli strikes on Gaza last December and January that resulted in the killing of 1,400 Palestinians, with 13 Israelis also killed. And there was wide criticism of the silence not only of the Bush/Cheney administration, but also of President-elect Barack Obama.
The UN-authorized investigation by the widely respected South African jurist, Richard Goldstone, himself a Jew, pointed to war crimes by both Israel and Hamas, although the inquiry's harshest criticism landed on Israel for the staggering civilian death toll.
This finding led Israel's Likud government to activate its powerful U.S. lobby, which pressed the House of Representatives to denounce the Goldstone report, which the House did on a 344-36 vote.
In a wondrous display of pot-and-kettle, House members branded the Goldstone report "irredeemably biased." Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer called the report "unbalanced and unfair and inaccurate."
These so-called "friends of Israel" either don't know or don't care that this sort of resolution only makes matters worse regarding American attempts to defuse the explosive anger building across the Middle East. It is a gift to al-Qaeda.
This U.S. pandering to the Likud Lobby – and the implicit suggestion that the lives of 1,400 Palestinians don't much matter – also is bad for the people of Israel. Indeed, it may prove suicidal, by delaying the geopolitical imperative for Israel to make peace with its Arab neighbors and thus avert some future catastrophe.
Closer to home, by further identifying itself with – and justifying – Israeli repression of the Palestinians, the United States helps breed more Khalid Sheikh Mohammeds and Ramzi Yousefs, more young terrorists determined to make Washington and the American people pay a price.
It requires no logical leap to conclude that Likud-friendly lawmakers — the Steny Hoyers, the Howard Bermans, the Ileana Ros-Lehtinens of this world — could scarcely think up a better way to raise the threat level from terrorists who feed on festering sores like the calamity in Gaza.

"I think that we're going to shine a light on something that a lot of people don't want to look at" ....Yes, like what really happened on 9/11 and why it happened. The real truth might just come to light. It's not just about torturing etc, it's about the NWO boys and their dreams of conquering the world and setting up a fascist dictatorship. It could happen. It's funny how the real truth slips out when you are in a legitimate court. This could mean the beginning of the end for these NWO madmen. Pray that I am right.

upside down intelligence
unless there is an admission of the cover-up that happened on 9/11 and thereafter, i am very dubious of this trial, which could be for show, or to set the stage for the next false flag operation. The terrorists are really within our own government, which has infiltrated all branches of our government and mainstream media, and corporations.. so while Mayor Bloomberg buys the election and controls the city council of NYC, which had denied registered petitioners for a referendum vote for an open investigation.. it appears that our democracy is not real.. nor our justice or health systems driven by spin and profit, and avoiding the real facts of the explosive evidence in the 9/11 terrorist charade.
I pray all comes out in court as it should.. but am not expecting this.. until, we, the people awaken enough to demand a stop to this madness. Most are sheeple who don't want to know the real truth.. and looking for excuses to continue a war built upon lies and death of innocent people. I can understand why many cannot believe this could happen. but .. on this anniversary day of jfk's assassination, i hope we can awaken more needing to understand this. we are in the communications revolution.

What should 9/11 Truth activists say we are for in connection with this trial?
We are for...convictions based on facts.
Most people want those responsible for 9/11 to be convicted and severely punished.
So do we. Provided that conviction and punishment are based on an honest appraisal of the facts of 9/11.
A slogan like 'convictions based on facts' confonts them with either honestly admitting that they don't give a damn about the facts ane their own complicity in kangaroo justice; or paying attention to what the actual facts are and thereby learning how weak the government's case actually is. (I know, there are those who will take the former course; but what about all the others?)

i would agree with you..
though we should also remain skeptical due to the performance of the government and justice system in the past eight years.
but yes.. we are for justice.. not JUST US.

An interesting dynamic about 9/11 is that the more time passes, the more clownish people who deny the truth become.

Roots of terrorism? That has been already discovered.
Roots of terrorism :
A poignant feeling of utter, deadly injustice, hopelessness, defenselessness in the face of grave, persistent physical abuse and extermination of and by innocent, defenseless, underprivileged.
It is a feeling of complete loss of trust , complete failure of justice, of means of justice other than violent, terrorist - /mass violence/, self destructive - suicide attacks.
Terrorism is a failure of humanity, of laws, of politics, of justice, of our world.
Terrorism also is wrong, ineffective and inadvisable, just as any form of use of aggression force is, such as war of aggression, occupations.
War of aggression is a state terrorism.
War and use of force in general are wrong. Because if there was no aggressive war, there would be no need for defensive use of force.
Today, in our age and time, any use of force is a crude deplorable uncivilized barbarism.
9/11 is a controlled demolition inside job.

state sponsored terror
comes from an entirely different set of causes: State sponsored terrorism wants to deflect blame and guilt onto those who are being devalued and attacked with lawless use of force.
It is an attempt by powerful people to become even more powerful by blaming murder and mayhem on the people they are about to disenfranchise of their land, homes, livelihood or resources. It justifies their illegal and immoral actions in the eyes of the world as we all saw in the war for Iraqi "liberation"
and as we can see happening in the atrocities committed on helpless civilians by Israelis for purported acts of "terror" by "hamas"....
After the revelations of the nanothermite peer reviewed reports there can no longer be any doubt whatsoever:
911 was state sponsored terrorism designed to justify wars and aggression against people already targeted.

For almost three decades, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, has been ignoring the standardized 'rules' of the academy and trespassing across disciplinary boundaries. Today she remains one of the foremost figures in the study of world literature and its cultural consequences. In this new book she declares the death of comparative literature as we know it and sounds an urgent call for a 'new comparative literature' in which the discipline is given new life—one that is not appropriated and determined by the market.
In the era of globalization, when mammoth projects of world literature in translation are being undertaken in the United States, how can we protect the multiplicity of languages and literatures at the university? Spivak demonstrates how critics interested in social justice should pay close attention to literary form and offers new interpretations of classics such as Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own. Through close readings of texts not only in English, French, and German but also in Arabic and Bengali, Spivak practices what she preaches.


A good infographic can be the perfect way to engage an audience about a complex topic. Infographics convey data in creative and interesting ways. However, a poor infographic may confuse or alienate readers. There are a number of pitfalls that designers must avoid in order to provide their audience with a positive experience.
It's important to remember that the last seven letters in the word "infographic" spell "graphic." Therefore, while some text serves a useful purpose in conveying information, the goal of an infographic is to provide this information in exciting and unusual ways. Filling an infographic with large blocks of text is precisely the opposite of this. Readers can always look up an article on the subject of the infographic if they are so inclined. While they are viewing an infographic, they want to see graphics. There should be images, graphs and text in reasonable proportions so that one of these categories does not overpower the others.
It's easy to write a long, unfocused paragraph containing every single fact that could conceivably relate to the subject at hand. It's harder – and more effective – to produce a tightly edited piece that includes only the most important and intriguing details. Taking this approach to every aspect of an infographic will result in a balanced, entertaining layout.
A huge part of the usefulness of an infographic is its ability to provide readers with data without overwhelming them. However, there are many ways in which the presentation of data in an infographic can go wrong. Any of these can completely negate the positive aspects of communicating information through an infographic.
First and foremost, there is the danger of including information that is simply inaccurate. There may be a typo in a number that drastically changes its implications. Some data could be out of date and inconsistent with more recent information on the same subject. More subtly, the statistics could be up to date and accurate but still be tremendously misleading if the designer does not understand what can and can't be reasonably inferred from a particular piece of information. It is important to make sure that data is offered with the proper context so it can be correctly understood by readers. Otherwise, there may be a significant backlash from readers who are knowledgeable about the subject.
Even accurate data, presented in context, can be unhelpful. Information should also be relevant to the underlying narrative of the infographic. If a statistic doesn't help promote the overall message of the infographic, it serves no purpose and should be removed. Along these lines, arcane details that bore readers are best left out.
A bad layout is among the most dangerous traps for an infographic to avoid. The design of an infographic should be easy for anyone to understand. This often includes a logical path that the eye can follow, moving from one section to another in a sensible order. On the other hand, a poor layout might include bits of information randomly strewn about the infographic, giving the reader no clues regarding where to look first. Keep in mind that people usually read from left to right and from top to bottom. Therefore, readers will tend to start near the top left corner of the infographic and let their eyes wander from there. If there is an intuitive sense of where one should look next, most interested readers will follow the intended path. However, there should be a balance between looking unorganized and seeming rigid. Even though there is an intended path, readers should have the freedom to explore in whatever order they choose without getting lost. This means that each individual section of the infographic should make sense to a reader who has not yet looked anywhere else on the page.
Another problematic issue regarding layout is the possibility of structuring a large infographic from left to right. It is important to consider the limitations of the devices readers are using to view the infographic. Generally, one scrolls downwards to continue reading an article or other piece of writing. Text is kept within certain margins and does not continue indefinitely to the right. It would be very unpleasant to read an article if one had to scroll to the right to read the end of each line. Similarly, readers will tend to prefer the experience if they can scroll downwards to continue viewing an infographic rather than having to scroll to the right.
A good infographic should never bore the reader. One important way that this is accomplished is by maintaining a healthy amount of variety in the types of imagery and text used. For example, one bar graph may be the ideal way to communicate the differences between several numbers. However, five identical bar graphs used to express five different sets of numbers will feel dull and repetitive. For the same reason, using a few different typefaces throughout an infographic can be more engaging than using a single typeface everywhere.
Creativity is another important aspect of keeping the reader engaged. Even an infographic that carefully avoids repetition can be boring if it consists of nothing but generic examples of standard types of images: bar graphs, pie charts and important numbers written in a large font. While all of these ways of conveying information can be useful, they should be balanced with imagery specific to the subject of the infographic. For example, if one were comparing the gas mileage of two cars with a bar graph, the graph might include images of the two cars on roads, with one car far ahead of the other.
When an infographic feels like a series of facts and figures thrown together for no particular reason, readers will lose interest. An infographic should have a clear tone and purpose. This manifests itself in a variety of ways. One central feature of a good infographic is an underlying story. This is the way in which different sections of the infographic, meant to be viewed in a certain order, build on each other towards a conclusion. This provides an emotional resonance that keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end.
This sense of unity among all the different parts of the infographic is as important in style as in content. Therefore, while some variety is useful, it is crucial that some basic stylistic elements remain consistent throughout the infographic. These include a color palette and a general aesthetic. A good infographic speaks with a single voice.
When it comes to creativity, there are no rules. No guideline should ever stand in the way of trying a really good idea. However, as a general rule, the above concepts tend to be a large part of what separates good infographics from mediocre ones. The text and data should be accurate and relevant, the layout should be as easy to follow as possible and there should be a balance between variety and unity. An infographic succeeding at all of these things is one that readers will respond to and will eagerly share with others.


Refuge for Women has a tradition we at our Chicago location inherited from the warriors in this freedom fight who went before us. We have a graduate photo wall. This wall showcases the beautiful faces of past Refuge graduates. The only problem? Our wall sat empty while we waited for our first precious one.
Virtually every time I walked up the plush grey stairs to my office, it bothered me, that blank wall glaring back. White walls stark when they stare you down with their empty gaze. Waiting. Not my favorite.
There are many lessons I've learned in the middle of the wait.
LESSON #1: Good things are worth the wait.
Refuge Chicago recently attained a significant milestone. We celebrated our first graduate with much fanfare! A celebration that felt like – FINALLY. Like a grade schooler wishing May would hurry up and give way to June in anticipation of summer's freedom.
Waiting on firsts hasn't been fun. Firsts can feel like forever when a woman's future is at stake. But God asks us to wait patiently as we walk alongside a woman. If we run too fast, she may not be able to keep up. We must pace ourselves, so she can catch her breath.
Our first graduate caught her breath, and then God took our breath away as we stood in awe and amazement at His good work brought to life. Literally, He saved her life. That's worth waiting for!
LESSON #2: Hope only happens in the wait.
Hope only happens when we're waiting for something that is yet to come, a longing in our hearts. There's no faith or hope required in what we already possess. While that makes perfect sense, waiting on firsts is still hard, until they finally happen. Then they are life-giving, God-glorifying, and invigorating as they fan hope into flame.
This battle for hope is hard-fought. Hope was the one thing I asked God for when He called me to this fight. I knew I couldn't engage if He didn't keep hope in my sight. I knew enough to know I'd encounter deeply wounded women who would be beyond healing, beyond any help I could offer, if not for the Lord's loving intervention. He is the only One with a touch tender enough to heal deep trauma without causing additional harm.
I have seen hope. It's sweet. Like Jesus Himself. Hope and healing is not without sweat equity from all involved. The wait is HARD, but it is well worth it when we see women win significant victories!
LESSON #3: It is best to be still.
For a woman who likes to be on the go and get things done, stillness has been something God needs to bring me back to. His mantra with me the entire time I've been engaged in this fight: Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10). It's plastered throughout our Chicago house as a constant reminder. I need to know – daily – this is not on my shoulders or anyone else's for that matter. The battle is the Lord's. If I thought otherwise, I'd implode from too much pressure.
Along the way I've posed the question to God, "What should I do?" Often, His response to me has been, "Be still." It's in those moments I'm reminded I don't have to have this fight against human trafficking all figured out. Sometimes, what God needs most from me is to be present with the women we walk alongside while He ministers to their hearts in ways I can't see. If I'm making lots of racket, how can they hear His still, small voice?
LESSON #4: There are two primary skills to do this well. We must listen and obey.
We humans (or at least this one) like to overly complicate things. My part in God's plan is quite simple. All I need to do is listen and obey. Those two actions keep me and those I serve in the safe place of God's plans and purposes.
I've trained my staff to know listening to the Lord is the most important skill they can have in this fight. What they don't know, God does. We need a dependency on Him. He is Teacher and will tell us what is needed. Spiritual maturity and a sweet relationship with Jesus serves our ministry well. It's what I look for most when I make a hiring decision for our team.
We can't plan for every contingency (even though we do plan and train). But God whispers instructions, the perfect word to say, the next right action to take. He knows the women we serve, intimately. He helps us care for them in ways we couldn't ever on our own.
LESSON #5: Full surrender to the Lord is the only way to win the war.
In the wait we encounter God. He is good. He got me through every hard day. And we had more than a few of those. The battle is real. There is an enemy and he wages war as we fight in Christ's power, fully surrendered. It's the only way. I couldn't do one day without Christ. The fight is too hard. The hurts we hear are more than a person can bear in her own strength.
The women I sit across from are real. It is a privilege to know each one, to hear her story even when it's hard. Each one's journey toward healing is difficult, but I am blessed to see them grow. Each woman's healing is hard-fought, but that's what makes the harvest worth celebrating! I care deeply for each woman. This side of heaven she might not know how much. She is real. Fragile at first. I see her tears. I see her scars. I see her.
More importantly, God sees her. He sees her, and He'll set her free. That's His specialty!
LESSON #6: We must be gentle and patient.
These precious ones are flesh and blood, women who need hugs – sometimes not at first because that touch might be more than she can handle. We must be gentle. Go slow. Allow physical touch a chance to get redeemed over time. More patience as we wait until we sense from God that "now is the time". She's ready to receive something sweet, pure, innocent, untainted. She's starting to trust.
She is vulnerable, but decides to take a chance. Maybe I can trust, I imagine her thinking with the faith of a mustard seed at first.
Think of the courage it takes for a woman to come to our program, or any program. I often think, I'm not sure I could do it. Imagine people have hurt you. Badly. Some of those people too close for comfort. Not always strangers who have trafficked and traumatized. Yet still you are being asked to trust. People you don't know. With your very life. With your safety. How does one do that when there has been abuse, neglect, and deep soul-searing trauma? Bravery beyond human comprehension, that's how! Make no mistake anyone who enters a residential aftercare program is extremely brave! That kind of courage can come from Christ alone.
Her bravery excites me for her, for her future, and for the future of others she may influence after she fights for her own freedom and healing.
LESSON #7: Our power to make kingdom impact comes through prayer and vulnerability.
Sadly, not all women can handle it. Emotional healing is hard work. It sometimes feels easier for them to go back to what they know. Sometimes it's the result of a trauma bond. When the pain of what they know and who mistreated them feels safer than opening up and dealing with the pain within, some leave the program. In the flight or fight response, sometimes they can't fight. And I hate when that happens. Those are the gut-wrenching moments. Those are the situations when I cling tightly to the fact that the Lord loves them deeply, and He won't give up His pursuit of them for their healing.
I learned I don't like not seeing every seed planted coming to full harvest before my eyes. But it's where God gave me another lesson in trust. Do I trust He is good? Do I trust He will bring every good work to completion?
I do. It's the only way to move forward when the weight of a woman's leaving might otherwise crush my spirit. I trust the Hound of Heaven to pursue every precious woman. He pursued me after all. He'll keep working in their heart.
It's where intercession comes into play. I pray, and pray, and pray even as I remind myself of God's faithfulness, so I can keep going. It's how I continue for the next woman He brings who is ready. I need to be present and emotionally available for her. It requires a vulnerability on my part that surprised me. I can't wall off my heart in self-preservation when the next woman needs it to be open for her.
For the brave women who stay the course, there is great hope for them and their future. I know if they can fight this battle (in the Lord's strength), there's no stopping them. That knowledge is what gets me up in the morning and gets me through every hard day.
LESSON #8: We must pace ourselves.
It is a tremendous honor and privilege to be given any measure of trust by the Lord to walk alongside His precious daughters. I don't take that responsibility lightly. I try to be careful and measured in my decision making. I may go slower than some would like, but it's only in the stillness that I can hear the Lord. If I'm rushed and hurried and my peace is disturbed, I can't hear with the clarity I need. So I go slow. I need to pace myself too. Burn out is a real issue in front line workers in the fight against human trafficking. I remind myself and others this is a marathon, not a sprint. If I run too fast, too hard, I won't be of any use to anyone. Not everyone will understand my self-care decisions, but I need to make them anyhow.
Here's what God has demonstrated to me when I've been able to lay aside my people pleasing nature and do what I know I need to keep engaged in what God is doing in this fight against trafficking: He can accomplish more through me when I rest in Him. He suspends time. He accelerates it too. He gives creative vision and catapults ideas, program, process, and women's healing in ways I could never. No matter how many hours I worked. No matter how hard I tried.
LESSON #9: Rejoice and celebrate hope.
Our wall now has hope hanging in a 5 x 7 frame. I get to see her face every day I walk up those grey plush stairs to my office. She smiles at me, and I always smile back. I'm so proud of her! She looks different from when I first met her, because she is. She's smiling. She's found her voice. She fought the good fight. She's one of the ones who made it, who makes every hard day worth it. I can tell you this, every tear I cried this year from days that felt too hard was worth it when I see her picture on the wall. She is worth it! She is worth it! She is worth it! I'd do every hard day all over again---just for her. She's special. She always will be. She has a corner of my heart with her name on it. She was worth the wait.
Now I get to watch her fly!
LESSON #10: I love my assignment from God even though that sometimes means I'll have hard days.
Where else can I see God's glory revealed every day? He's moving mountains and making miracles happen which grows my faith. I can believe God for BIG things in my own life, because I see Him do BIG things in others' lives. I have a front row seat to the faith-bolstering, mind blowing goodness of God. Pull up a chair and join me in some way. It's hard, but it's also pretty amazing!

Virtural Tour
About Icewine
Fruit wines
At one time, Lulu Island was known as Blossom Winery. Blossom was well renowned for its quality fruit wines and icewines throughout North America, as well as Asia. But our winemaker wanted more; he wanted to apply his talents towards making table wines! So Blossom underwent a transformation. We built a new 7 million dollar facility just outside of Richmond and changed our name to Lulu Island Winery, in honour of the land we built our winery on. The island of Richmond, just south of Vancouver, BC was once named Lulu Island. IRumor has it that the name Lulu came from the mistress of a great Duke who first pioneered this land. That of course, caused a huge scandal and the name had to be changed to what we now know as Richmond.
Now, Lulu Island Winery is the newest and largest winery in Richmond! It produces many quality wines including red and white table wines, fruit wines, and Canada's very own icewines. All of Lulu Island's quality wines are produced on site, using only the best grapes from the Okanagan and the best berries from the Fraser Valley. We are dedicated to the production of flavorful and aromatic wines and are proud to sport the VQA stamp on all of our bottles.
We have the latest equipment in the art of wine making. Our tanks are custom built, and temperature controlled. We are equipped with the latest European bottling and labeling equipment. Bottling is conducted in a totally sterile environment, and corked under a vacuum, which enhances long storage and aging. Our winemaker has over 30 years experience crafting fine wines. In his humble beginnings he first learned to create wine with his grandmother. Then, after moving to Canada, John studied with many notable winemakers. He now combines Chinese traditional wine making methods with modern Western technology and equipment. All our wines are put through a slow cool fermentation process that helps bring out the natural flavours of the fruit, whether it is grapes, blueberries or even raspberries. We welcome you to our tasting room to come experience wines that truly reflect the wonderful fruits that British Columbia has to offer.

Q: What are some examples of "Jordan spaces" which are *not* homeomorphic to a subspace of $\Bbb R^n$ (with the Euclidean topology)? Note: This question has been substantially revised, see the edit history for earlier versions.

So far, the only examples of metric spaces which I have seen in topology books are Euclidean $n$-space, subspaces of Euclidean $n$-space, and the discrete space. Obviously, it is not the case that "every metric space of cardinality $\mathfrak c$ is either homeomorphic to a subspace of Euclidean $n$-space or discrete," so I decided to come up with some counterexamples.
I started by sketching what a potential basis set might look like and trying to find a metric to fit it. I made the obvious observation that any metric topologically equivalent to the Euclidean metric on $\Bbb R^2$ generates a basis of open regions bounded by (what I now realize are) Jordan curves. So I tried to think of a metric for which this isn't the case. I noticed that any example I could think of had the property that an open set, the boundary of an open set, or the exterior of an open set would be countable. This leads me to the idea of what I am calling "Jordan spaces" (previously "non-degenerate metric topology"), which I am defining as follows follows:

Let $X$ be a set of cardinality $\mathfrak c$, and $d$ a metric on $X$. The metric space $(X,d)$ is a Jordan space if and only if for every point $x\in X$ and real number $r>0$, the sets $\{y\in X:d(x,y)<r\}$, $\{y\in X:d(x,y)=r\}$, and $\{y\in X:d(x,y)>r\}$

*

*are individually equinumerous with $X$

*together form a partition of $X$
(The second criterion is trivial, but important enough to applications that it's worth stating anyway.)

Note that if $d$ is any metric on $\Bbb R^2$ such that the set $\{y\in \Bbb R^2:d(x,y)=r\}$ forms a Jordan curve for any $x\in\Bbb R^2$ and real number $r>0$, then $(\Bbb R^2,d)$ is a Jordan space. This generalizes to $\Bbb R^n$ in the obvious way - in particular, any metric space which is homeomorphic to Euclidean $n$-space is a Jordan space.
Now the question is this: Is every Jordan space homeomorphic to a subspace of Euclidean $n$-space?
My immediate answer is "almost certainly not," and I have some ideas for a proof, but what I would really like is a concrete example.

Additional note: topology is not my native language, please forgive me any mistakes I make and feel free to correct my vocabulary.

A: A simple way to make sure a space cannot be embedded in any Euclidean space is to ensure it contains copies of $\mathbb R^n$ for arbitarily large n. One example which fits your requirements is the topological sum $\coprod_{n=2}^\infty \mathbb R^n$, with a metric which agrees with the usual one on each individual $\mathbb R^n$.  Such a one can be defined as follows.  If $x = <x_i> \in \mathbb R^m$ and $y = <y_i> \in \mathbb R^n$ then
$$d(x,y) = d_{n+1}(<m,x_1,...,x_m,0,...0>,<n,y_1,...,y_n>)$$
where $d_{n+1}$ is the usual metric on $\mathbb R^{n+1}$. (Intuitively, the $\mathbb R^n$s are embedded in a sequence of parallel hyperplanes in some infinite-dimensional space, each at distance 1 from the next.)
Another example is $\mathbb R^\mathbb N$. The usual proofs that a countable product of metric spaces is metrisable produce a bounded metric, which won't quite fit your requirements; balls over a certain size will have no exterior. But if we keep the usual metric on just the first $\mathbb R$ the proof will still work but give an unbounded metric with the required properties.
A different way to get an example from $\coprod_{n=2}^\infty \mathbb R^n$ is to identify the origins of each component, and use the metric which puts the distance between two points from separate components as the sum of their (Euclidean) distances to their origins. (This does not give the usual quotient topology, that's not metrisable.)
For an example which does not rely on being infinite-dimensional to prevent it being embeddable in a Euclidean space, consider $\mathbb R^3$ with the following metric.
$$d(a,b) =
\begin{cases}
d_3(a,b),  & \text{a and b are coplanar with z-axis} \\
min\{d_3(a,c) + d_3(c,b)|\text{c on z-axis}\} & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
(i.e if a and b are not in a common vertical plane, their distance is the length of the shortest path between them that goes through the z-axis.) The open balls around points not on the z-axis are (for sufficiently small radius) 2D Euclidean disks and their boundaries are circles. For points on the z-axis the balls and their boundaries are the same sets as under the Euclidean metric but have completely different topologies. The topology of these balls is homeomorphic to the whole space. Any line in the space which is not coplanar with the z-axis forms a discrete subspace with uncountably many points. So the space is not separable and cannot be embedded in any Euclidean space (or in $\mathbb R^\mathbb N$).

A: You should aspire to use some genuine properties of $\mathbf R^n$ in your task, not just its plain set properties.  For example, perhaps you want to focus on (metric) topologies for which vector addition and scalar multiplication are both continuous.  That makes $\mathbf R^n$ a topological vector space, and now the discrete topology is ruled out: scalar multiplication
$\mathbf R \times \mathbf R^n \to \mathbf R^n$ is not continuous when $\mathbf R^n$ has the discrete topology and $\mathbf R$ has its usual topology.  It turns out the only Hausdorff topology on $\mathbf R^n$ that makes it a topological vector space is its usual one. See Example 2.4 and Theorem 2.7 here.

What We Are Reading Today: Hobbesian Moral and Political Theory by Gregory S. Kavka
In recent years serious attempts have been made to systematize and develop the moral and political themes of great philosophers of the past.
Kant, Locke, Marx, and the classical utilitarians all have their current defenders and arc taken seriously as expositors of sound moral and political views.
It is the aim of this book to introduce Hobbes into this select group by presenting a plausible moral and political theory inspired by Leviathan.
Using the techniques of analytic philosophy and elementary game theory, the author develops a Hobbesian argument that justifies the liberal State and reconciles the rights and interests of rational individuals with their obligations.
Hobbes's case against anarchy, based on his notorious claim that life outside the political State would be a "war of all against all," is analyzed in detail, while his endorsement of the absolutist State is traced to certain false hypotheses about political sociology.
With these eliminated, Hobbes's principles support a liberal redistributive (or "satisfactory") State and a limited right of revolution.
Turning to normative issues, the book explains Hobbes's account of morality based on enlightened self-interest and shows how the Hobbesian version of social contract theory justifies the political obligations of citizens of satisfactory States.

Is there a new owner?
Yes and no. Chef Paolo Nota, who was born and trained in Italy, took Chef Eric Murphy under his wing nearly a decade ago after he graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. This year, Eric became a co-owner of the restaurant.
What's A Ca Mia's Food Philosophy?
Sauces are better when they simmer for hours, right? Maybe not.
At A Ca Mia, sauces are made fresh to order, with the ingredients and flavors from the dish coming together at the end to create the sauce.
then place ramekins on a sheet pan with sides (or use a roasting pan).
Sauté potatoes and beans in a large pan in 3 tsp. olive oil over medium heat for several minutes. Add garlic to pan and reduce heat, cooking until potatoes are fully cooked. Meanwhile, bread the chicken, first dredging lightly in the flour and shaking off excess, dipping in egg wash, and coating in herb-seasoned panko. Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a separate ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Sauté chicken on both sides until golden brown. Add whole sage leaves to pan. Place pan in a 350°F over for 4 minutes to finish. Divide vegetables between two dinner plates. Put two pieces of chicken on each, stacking the breasts. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings over the top. Smother the chicken and vegetables in freshly ground Parmesan, about 1/4 cup each or as desired, and serve immediately.

J.B. Grading System
Our diamonds pass through rigorous quality control and are assessed finely by qualified craftsmen. Each flawless diamond complies with stringent specifications of color, clarity and shape.
Polish (PO)
Symmetry (SY)
Polish can be result of the finishing process or be affected by blemishes created after cutting. The term "Polish" refers to the degree of "polishing lines" that appear on the surface of a finished diamond which can be seen with the use of 10x magnification. These polishing lines are caused by the minute diamond crystals which are embedded in the polishing wheels used by the diamond cutters to polish the surface of the diamond after cutting. While not quite the same in appearance, they are similar in concept to the swirl marks left on the surface of a car from the use of an orbital buffer, but are much less noticeable.
It is important to note, however, that polish lines are straight in appearance.
Code - polish
(ID) IDEAL This is our predilection. No polish lines or marks are visible when the diamond is viewed under 10x magnification. High magnification, such as 30x may be used to locate any possible imperfections. The brilliance of a diamond with Ideal Polish will be noticeably superior to that of a diamond with a polish rating of Excellent.
(EX) EXCELLENT This is our preference. No polish lines or marks are visible when the diamond is viewed under 10x magnification. High magnification, such as 30x may be used to locate any possible imperfections. The brilliance of a diamond with Excellent Polish will be noticeably superior to that of a diamond with a polish rating of Very Good.
(VG) VERY GOOD Represents diamonds that contain one or two minor groupings of transparent polish lines that are visible under 10x magnification. Higher magnification will again be used to locate these areas easily. The degree of brilliance between a diamond graded as Very Good in Polish and Good is still noticeably different.
(GD) GOOD Numerous areas consisting of minor transparent lines are visible under 10x magnification. Occasional white polish lines may also be visible, but limited in number. As a bare minimum, we recommend that a diamond have a Polish Grade of Good or better. However, it is important to note that it is difficult to have Excellent or Very good polish in most of fancy shape diamonds so generally it carries Good polish.
Symmetry refers to the precision with which the facets of a diamond are aligned with each other and the consistency of facet shape and size per given section. The symmetry rating reflected on a diamond grading report is not an indication of the proportions of a diamond.
(ID) IDEAL No misshapen or miss-aligned facets are visible when the diamond is viewed under 10x magnification. High magnification, such as 30x may be used to locate any mis-aligned or misshapen facets. The brilliance of a diamond with Ideal Symmetry will be noticeably superior to that of a diamond with a symmetry rating of Excellent.
(EX) EXCELLENT No misshapen or mis-aligned facets are visible when the diamond is viewed under 10x magnification. High magnification, such as 30x may be used to locate any mis-aligned or misshapen facets. The brilliance of a diamond with Excellent Symmetry will be noticeably superior to that of a diamond with a symmetry rating of Very Good.
(VG) VERY GOOD Represents diamonds that contain one or two minor symmetry characteristics that can be found under 10x magnifications. Higher magnification will again be used by the grader to locate these areas easily. The degree of brilliance between a diamond graded as Very Good in Symmetry and one graded as having Good Symmetry is still noticeably different, however, it is practically impossible for the average consumer to distinguish between Very Good and Excellent or Ideal Symmetry without a lot of coaching.
(GD) GOOD Numerous inconsistencies of facet alignment and shape are visible under 10 x magnifications. As a bare minimum, we recommend that a round brilliant cut diamond have a symmetry rating of Very Good or better. However, it is important to note that it is difficult to have Excellent or Very good symmetry in most of fancy shape diamonds so generally it carries Good symmetry.


It is typical to lose regarding 50 strands of hair a day, nonetheless, serious premature hair loss can transform out to be an indication that something is wrong in our body. With climbing situations of pollution, poor nourishment and also anxiety degrees, maintaining a full crop of hair have without a doubt end up being a rarity. Yet is there something that can be done to reverse it? Can you truly stop hair loss and also reclaim your complete head of hair? The good news is, there is Folexin. A variety of Folexin info indicates that you can stop hair loss today with Folexin.
Do deny any hair growth tablets before you review this Folexin information: ways to halt hair fall and grow back hair naturally that will certainly discuss about what is Folexin, the active ingredients of Folexin, how does Folexin perform, how to stop loss of hair with Folexin and best place to purchase hair growing products Folexin in Cairo Egypt.
Folexin is a nutritional pill made to assist restore your hair and also stop falling of hair to keep full hair on your head. This is due to the ingredient Biotin which is consisted of in the supplement. Biotin is confirmed to boost the toughness and also elasticity of the thickest layer of the hair shaft (cortex). It aims to obtain to the core of the trouble thereby making sure long-term cause a short amount of time. In enhancement to healthy and balanced hair, the formula additionally enhances the problem of the skin and the nails.
Folexin is used a 100% herbal formula to safeguard your hair from being harmed by chlorine, the sun, and home heating irons. Therefore, the formula is available in stores without any type of prescription from a doctor. Regardless of what the reason supporting hair loss and baldness, this capsule performs efficiently to eliminate the trouble. So whether your loss of hair is as a result of hormonal changes, genetics or environmental adjustments, this formula can efficiently resolve it.
Additionally called Vitamin B7, biotin is just one of the key active ingredients in Folexin. It can be found in foods like fish, eggs, vegetables, meat, berries and also avocado. The active ingredient plays a major duty in keeping the wellness of our hair, skin and nails. Like all B vitamins, it is water soluble for this reason it conveniently soaks up right into our inner systems. It is rare to be lacking in biotin however if it occurs, signs like scaly red breakout, dry eyes, hair loss, fatigue, and clinical depression prevail.
This is an additional soluble vitamin however in the artificial type of vitamin B9 folate. The vitamin promotes new cell development in the body. Folic acid deficiency in the human body has been located to trigger early loss of hair at an early age while exposing on your own to different other health-related issues. Yet when one obtains a great dosage of folic acid, there would be a reduction in hair loss. So, the folic acid in this pill aids turn around the problem via regeneration of dead cells as well as also stops hair fall. This guarantees you develop substantial hair growth.
Apart from these 2 vital formulation, the formula includes some smaller sized ingredients list too. These formula collaborate to stimulate much healthier, thick and good-looking hair. The active ingredients consist of Vitamins like B6, B5, A, B12, D3, C, B1, and also E, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Oxide, Potassium Gluconate, Iron Ferrous Fumarate, Zinc Oxide and Manganese Chelate.
Folexin works by mainly restoring your all-natural supply of biotin. Your body requires biotin to convert certain nutrients right into energy, which after that powers the growth of hair, nails and skin. A long period of time back, instances of biotin depletion in the body were unusual which is why our grandpas utilized to endure with full hair into their sundown years. Nowadays, however, with altering diet patterns and environmental downgrade, we have a tendency to shed our reasonable supply of this vital nutrient. Folexin, therefore, aims to recover biotin, which by effect sustains hair growing and there is clinical evidence to back this up.
In a 2015 research study, the number of women with receding hairlines were split right into two teams, one offered biotin supplements and also the other placebo. The dosage was twice each day for 90 days. At the end of the study, scientists reported that ladies that took biotin pills had actually experienced considerable hair growing especially in locations that had actually formerly experienced balding.
Yet an additional nutrient that Folexin intends to replenish is folic acid. This is vitamin B, which is not only crucial for our hair yet also for general wellness. Research studies have actually revealed a close relationship in between loss of hair and folic acid deficiency. This might be because of that folic acid is needed to create red cell. Consequently lack of it might lead insufficient supply of oxygen to hair roots. If hair Follicles do not get enough oxygen, they cannot generate ATP, a substance that plays a vital duty in cell growth. An under-supply of ATP causes over-production of testosterone.
The partnership between testosterone and also hair loss is fairly complicated. Androgenic alopecia is the most typical cause of loss of hair in lots of countries including Cairo Egypt, influencing 50 million guys and 30 million females inning accordance with the National Institute of Health And Wellness. So, by restoring biotin and folic acid, Folexin intends to conquer this frustrating issue utilizing a scientifical strategy.
Each bottle of Folexin consists of 60 pills and is supposed to be ingested every day. individuals are advised to take 2 tablets of Folexin daily with a glass of water or as routed by their medical professional. One pill during the center of the day and the various other one throughout the night hours.
It is targeted in the direction of individuals in the beginning of loss of hair. As a result, individuals must start the therapy as soon as they discover the indications of hair thinning, declining hairline, balding or extreme hair loss. While the major target team for Folexin is guys, women could additionally use it to accomplish a thick, strong and healthy and balanced head of hair.
All of the formula on Folexin are 100% all-natural therefore much there have actually not been any reported case of adverse effects. Nonetheless, if have any type of underlying illness we would suggest you consult with your medical professional prior to attempting this or other capsule for that matter. Other than that, Folexin is 100% safe.
Folexin is a loss of hair formula that asserts to be 100% all-natural. It is marketed on the basis that it is an advancement formula for hair growing. Its primary active components have actually been exhibited by authorities such as WebMD, Mayo Clinic, and also The Dr. Oz Program.
Currently you can just get this product from the legitimate internet site. It is made by Vita Equilibrium company which is a trustworthy wellness business both in the USA and also the United Kingdom.
