Here is a press Release By Ward Churchill: Press Release - Ward Churchill January 31, 2005 In the last few days there has been widespread and grossly inaccurate media coverage concerning my analysis of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, coverage that has resulted in defamation of my character and threats against my life. What I actually said has been lost, indeed turned into the opposite of itself, and I hope the following facts will be reported at least to the same extent that the fabrications have been. * The piece circulating on the internet was developed into a book, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens. Most of the book is a detailed chronology of U.S. military interventions since 1776 and U.S. violations of international law since World War II. My point is that we cannot allow the U.S. government, acting in our name, to engage in massive violations of international law and fundamental human rights and not expect to reap the consequences. * I am not a “defender”of the September 11 attacks, but simply pointing out that if U.S. foreign policy results in massive death and destruction abroad, we cannot feign innocence when some of that destruction is returned. I have never said that people “should” engage in armed attacks on the United States , but that such attacks are a natural and unavoidable consequence of unlawful U.S. policy. As Martin Luther King, quoting Robert F. Kennedy, said, “Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.” * This is not to say that I advocate violence; as a U.S. soldier in Vietnam I witnessed and participated in more violence than I ever wish to see. What I am saying is that if we want an end to violence, especially that perpetrated against civilians, we must take the responsibility for halting the slaughter perpetrated by the United States around the world. My feelings are reflected in Dr. King's April 1967 Riverside speech, where, when asked about the wave of urban rebellions in U.S. cities, he said, “I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed . . . without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today – my own government.” * In 1996 Madeleine Albright, then Ambassador to the UN and soon to be U.S. Secretary of State, did not dispute that 500,000 Iraqi children had died as a result of economic sanctions, but stated on national television that “we” had decided it was “worth the cost.” I mourn the victims of the September 11 attacks, just as I mourn the deaths of those Iraqi children, the more than 3 million people killed in the war in Indochina, those who died in the U.S. invasions of Grenada, Panama and elsewhere in Central America, the victims of the transatlantic slave trade, and the indigenous peoples still subjected to genocidal policies. If we respond with callous disregard to the deaths of others, we can only expect equal callousness to American deaths. * Finally, I have never characterized all the September 11 victims as “Nazis.” What I said was that the “technocrats of empire” working in the World Trade Center were the equivalent of “little Eichmanns.” Adolf Eichmann was not charged with direct killing but with ensuring the smooth running of the infrastructure that enabled the Nazi genocide. Similarly, German industrialists were legitimately targeted by the Allies. * It is not disputed that the Pentagon was a military target, or that a CIA office was situated in the World Trade Center . Following the logic by which U.S. Defense Department spokespersons have consistently sought to justify target selection in places like Baghdad , this placement of an element of the American “command and control infrastructure” in an ostensibly civilian facility converted the Trade Center itself into a “legitimate” target. Again following U.S. military doctrine, as announced in briefing after briefing, those who did not work for the CIA but were nonetheless killed in the attack amounted to “collateral damage.” If the U.S. public is prepared to accept these “standards” when the are routinely applied to other people, they should be not be surprised when the same standards are applied to them. * It should be emphasized that I applied the “little Eichmanns” characterization only to those described as “technicians.” Thus, it was obviously not directed to the children, janitors, food service workers, firemen and random passers-by killed in the 9-1-1 attack. According to Pentagon logic, were simply part of the collateral damage. Ugly? Yes. Hurtful? Yes. And that's my point. It's no less ugly, painful or dehumanizing a description when applied to Iraqis, Palestinians, or anyone else. If we ourselves do not want to be treated in this fashion, we must refuse to allow others to be similarly devalued and dehumanized in our name. * The bottom line of my argument is that the best and perhaps only way to prevent 9-1-1-style attacks on the U.S. is for American citizens to compel their government to comply with the rule of law. The lesson of Nuremberg is that this is not only our right, but our obligation. To the extent we shirk this responsibility, we, like the “Good Germans” of the 1930s and '40s, are complicit in its actions and have no legitimate basis for complaint when we suffer the consequences. This, of course, includes me, personally, as well as my family, no less than anyone else. * These points are clearly stated and documented in my book, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens , which recently won Honorary Mention for the Gustavus Myer Human Rights Award. for best writing on human rights. Some people will, of course, disagree with my analysis, but it presents questions that must be addressed in academic and public debate if we are to find a real solution to the violence that pervades today's world. The gross distortions of what I actually said can only be viewed as an attempt to distract the public from the real issues at hand and to further stifle freedom of speech and academic debate in this country. These are the views of Ward Churchill, not the University of Colorado .

Yes, most of physics involved with BASE in this game are pretty reasonable, however there are a few exceptions, all of which are demonstrated here... - power lines aren't real - you surge forward a lot on opening - if you rub your end cells against a building it won't muck up your canopy - if you exit a vehicle in forward flight (be it a helicopter, a jet, a motorcycle you just drove off a cliff, whatever) you don't keep moving forward with it, you stop and fall like a stone. /eta: oh yeah, and there's a reset button -Also, you can burn into water from any altitude and be just fine. -If you die, you just end up at the hospital,$100 poorer and without all your guns (unless you are dating the nurse) -When you bailout of a plane it immedatly falls like a brick even faster than you.

I love that stuff. It goes great on everything. My friend, who is in the peace corps in Paraguay just sent me an email asking me to send her a bunch of it.

ER, Wrong thread

You can get tiny bottles of it in MRE's

Tobasco Chipotle Sauce. I have never found anything that is so good on so many things. It's great on burritos, eggs, ritz cheese crackers (don't ask how I figured that one out), hamburgers...etc.

HAaaa! I like that one. I am going to pass that on to all my geeky friends!!

Or Pinot Gris

I would also highly reccomend you look at the Cordilla Blanca ringe in Peru. It is very like Nepal with the high peaks and trekking options without the political strife and with fewer tourists. I went there several years ago to climb some big mountains and loved it. There are an unlimited number of high mountains (as high as 22,000') of varying difficulty to climb. It's also cheaper to get there

The PE is NOT easy....the FE wasn't a walk in the park either. I know many people who have had to take the PE multiple times to pass it. I am probably going to take a PE preperation course for several months before I take it and hope for the best. 77% of people pass the FE the first time they take it 59% of people pass the PE the first time they take it. I don't think I would call that a joke, since all of those people had 8 years of engineering experience under their belt at the time of the exam.

Hehe... I am taking the real PE test next year. I'm not looking forward to it.

Fixed the clicky for you ^

Is this the orginal capture, or has it been touched up a little bit already? The only place I noticed the interlace clearly was around his hand. If there is an original capture, running a deinterlace filter before any additional touching up might get better results.

Here ya go. I de-interlaced it for you. It made it look a little better, but the date/time stamp is hard to read now.

Actually, we're still over 100% snowpack here in colorado

Okay so I did some reading on how to repair this kind of thing and found out that for p-tex repairs along edges and core material, you cannot use normal p-tex sticks that you light and drip into the repair area. Normal P-tex is too soft and does not stick to steel or core material. In order to make this repair work I am going to need to get some harder, high strength p-tex material that adhers to core surface and edges. When working around edges with p-tex, you need to work slowly to avoid the edge getting too hot or else it will not adhere to the p-tex. Once the harder p-tex is applied to the edges and core, I am going to use medium hardness p-tex to finish. Then flatten and wax. I've learned a lot today

I think the fact the IP traces to West Virginia, and he is in West Virginia (or at least his profies says he is) indicates that it is probably someone local who got his credit card number the low tech way.

I guess I'll give it a try. I was concerned that next time I hit a rock on that part of the edge it would completely blow the edge out since the original ski material is no longer there. I was considering laying a thin layer of epoxy under the p-tex to hold the edge retainers in.

So yesterday I was skiing in typical Arapahoe Basin flat light conditions. I was going pretty fast down a powdery slope when I hit a rock concealed by the fresh snow. I remember flying through the air thinking, "oh shit, this is really going to hurt." Next came THUD...TUMBLE...TUMBLE...TUMBLE...SLIDE. I guess it looked pretty bad too because 5 people came right up to me asking if I was okay. I was fine, but my ski took the brunt of the impact with the rock. I got a half inch wide by four inch long coreshot all the way down to the fiberglass. It is right along the edge and the edge retainers are exposed. This is the worst coreshot I have ever seen. Fortunately I was skiing rock skis (notice the amount of previous ptex repair). Anyone have any experience working with this kind of thing? I usually do all my own repairs and maintenance, but somehow I just don't think I can fill this up with P-Tex and carry on.

maybe you had a few too many drinks one night and got on the internet...

I just did my first cessna jumps last weekend. They were only hop'n'pops from 4.5k, but I really had fun jumping the cessna. Hanging from the strut is so much fun!

It's just a scam to try to get you to pay for their "service". There are a number of websites out there like it. Relax..no one has been talking about you. Just another type of spam.
