How many of you have seen this picture? 2007-09-12 02:10:00 I have never seen this picture before. I wanted to pass this on to you all. Thanks to Axinar for this article.According to The New York Times it was taken by Valencia M. McClatchey and is the only known surviving photograph of the United Flight 93 crash in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.She gave the FBI a copy of the photo to help in the investigation. She also apparently let newspapers and television stations use the photograph - perhaps to give some visual aid to the horror that took place that morning - not at the financial or military capital of the greatest power on Earth, but someplace, up until then, of no IMPORT at all - the middle of a field.Related:A Sept. 11 Photo Brings Out the Conspiracy Theorists - The New York TimesPicture Made on 9/11 Takes a Toll on Photographer - Flight 93 Photo FraudJust how nutty are 9/11 conspiracy nuts, you ask? - JBlog CentralWhat is your opinion?Blogroll Me!Subscribe to my Posts...

The couple who stopped off at a Travelodge - and stayed 22 years 2007-09-11 20:19:00 For most of us who visit a Travelodge, it is a fleeting pleasure. Park the car, go to bed and get away as early as possible in the morning. But for David and Jean Davidson, it is home. They arrived in 1985, and enjoyed it so much that they never left.This sound like a contrived story to me. Who in their right mind would go and stay at a hotel for 22 years? I hate to go and stay for a week much less 22 freaking years? I can see that they are elderly, but are they insane as well? I might be less expensive than a house, but where do you cook and what happens if the hotel changes hands during that period? And what happened to their house? What would happen if they family wanted to "visit" them? I can hear it now; Jim, check into room 104. That is the one that has the adjoining door with our room. It also has a micro fridge and a coffee maker. What is your opinion?Blogroll Me! Subscribe to my Posts... Blogroll Me! ...

Kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth? 2007-09-11 20:05:00 I wonder how creamy it really was? If i found a rubber in a can of soup i would want more than a "cupon" Perhaps they should have read the label. Creamy or Chunky anyone? Trojan or Durex?Soupcon of rubber leads to food suitBy Felisa Cardona Denver Post Staff WriterA Fort Collins family says in a federal lawsuit that they found a condom at the bottom of a Campbell's Soup can after the cream of mushroom dinner they had started eating tasted bad."We think it's highly unlikely that this occurred and we take all claims of product contamination very seriously," said Campbell Soup Co. spokesman Anthony Sanzio.Audrey Smith, 63, heated the soup on Nov. 20, 2006, and she and Doyle Smith, 64, and Shane Smith, 42, noticed an unusual taste and looked inside the can, according to a lawsuit filed by the family in U.S. District Court."The foul taste was apparently caused by the presence of a large piece of rubber lodged at the bottom of the can," the suit says. "Upon further examination, it appeared ...

9/11 issues. We will never forget! 2007-09-11 01:43:00 Where were you on this morning when the plans crashed into the Pentagon, World Trade Towers, and the ground in Pennsylvania? I was living in Austin Texas and I was at work. I did not hear about this until I came in for break and saw it on the TV, as a matter of fact; all TV stations were broadcasting this tragic occurrence.Now to see this as a headline about a school in Utah or any school for that matter makes my blood boil:"Utah Schools Will Not Observe 9/11 AnniversarySeveral Utah schools have decided to let Sept. 11, 2007 pass without observing the sixth anniversary of the unprecedented terror attacks against the United States -- over fear of re-kindling the haunting memories for those who vaguely remember them, or introducing them to children who weren't born yet.This year, Sept. 11 falls on a Tuesday for the first since since the actual attacks. But some school administrators believe that commemorating the tragedy may inhibit the ability for students to make forward progress."We ...

Priorities... 2007-09-11 00:16:00 You know how when you are younger and something is a "top priority"? Well, when I was younger I used to love to be tanned. I would have a beautiful tan from staying out on the lake or going to the beach or swimming in a pool with friends. Well, as I have grown older, things have changed. I no longer worries about a good tan much less have the time to get in the sun.Normally, I would get burned like in March or April on spring break and I would not peel or burn the rest of the summer. That does not happen now. The only time I get in the sun is when I mow the lawn or on the off chance, go to the beach.So, we went to the beach over the Labor Day weekend and we had a good time. On Saturday, we stayed out on the beach from 9.30am till 4pm and we all got burnt to a crisp. I did not use any protection unlike my wife and daughter, but they still got burnt as well. We were all hurting that night and next day. I have for the last week peeled off most of the top layer of skin! My face and chest, ...

The Blog... 2007-09-10 20:49:00 I have been into pictures more lately than I have been into posting simply because I have not found much that is interesting to me to post about. I like to do the picture thing with my cam phone because it is just so easy and it also takes very good pics. I have read some people's reviews of the phone/cam and I just don’t agree with them on the picture quality.I am just in a holding pattern until we figure out when we will be going to St. Louis. It really sucks because I don’t know what kind of job to look for and even when we will be there to do this so it is just pointless to do that at the moment.I have also slacked off of riding and working out lately. It is just hard to get back into it when you stop. I rode this weekend and we got in like 7 miles. I wanted to go on Sunday morning, but my right leg/hip has been hurting ever since I slipped in the pool while we were on vaca at OBX. I went to the chiropractor last week for the back hurting from this and that worked, but my righ ...

360 west & Courthouse 2007-09-09 19:33:00 I took this at around 12.30am. I think that it has some neat lightening effects due to the use of the cam phone and through my windshield of my truck. I have done several of these types of photographs in the last few weeks.Subscribe to my Posts... Blogroll Me! ... Amp

Music and Videos... 2007-09-09 19:21:00 It is cool that this movie has finally been released on DVD here in the states. I remember as a child, my mother taking me to see this show in Beaumont Texas along the 1980 time frame. I got it last night at Best Buy for $19.99!! Not a bad deal for it. The remastered the movie and soundtrack that was done by Queen. I cannot wait to watch it over my 2 days off this week. I found a copy on the net about a year ago and tried to get it. The quality of it sucked and i converted it to a DVD using WinAVIVideoConverter. The quality sucked even more and i never watched it.Amazon.comWhat do you get when you combine the lush electronica band Delerium with the Nashville pop group Sixpence None the Richer? The debut album by Fauxliage. Sixpence singer Leigh Nash has been a guest singer with Delerium, but she now teams up as a full partner with the Canadian band's Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb. The dance beats are dialed down and the melodies have that pop warmth that Nash brought to Sixpence, but the ...
