hellkity - i've read a bunch of reviews on memory foam beds and it seems like people either love it or hate it.
if you buy one, keep your old bed and only buy from a place that allows returns within 30 days.
also, keep in mind that you can buy a bed with a memory foam top and that's prob cheaper than buying that one memory foam bed that is the best known brand, and which i can't remember....

Duane, read this: Facts for Steel Buildings.
Then come back and explain that either the American Institute of Steel Construction is part of the 911 conspiracy, or that you now understand that in a fire, heat tempered steel when overtemped loses much of the strength tempered into it, and can easily fail under its original design loads.
The official story maintains that fires weakened the buildings. Jet fuel supposedly burned so hot it began to melt the steel columns supporting the towers. But steel-framed skyscrapers have never collapsed from fire, since they’re built from steel that doesn’t melt below 2750 degrees Fahrenheit. No fuel, not even jet fuel, which is really just refined kerosene, will burn hotter than 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.
How is it that I have never heard of this "memory foam" of which you speak?
Memory foam was developed by NASA (or so the sales guy told us), and is remarkable for it's ability to contour to your body and retain it's shape all night.

The two mortgage-finance companies, which own or guarantee about $5 trillion of the $12 trillion of outstanding U.S. home loans, have reported mounting credit losses this year, prompting the U.S. Treasury to set up a backstop for the firms.
"There is some fear that something else may happen in the system,'' resulting more from the fact that the crisis "has now spread to the real economy,'' Fischer said.
We know it's bad, and it's going to get worse, cuz something out there somewhere is seriously fucked.
While the crisis may be the worst since the Great Depression, "in real terms we're not looking at anything exceptional,'' he said. "We're not even looking at anything very serious relative to recessions of the past.''
Uh, no, that's not quite correct.

You don't need to melt it. You just need to heat it enough to undo the extra strength baked in by the heat tempering. Then it fails, because the design loads assume this strength is present. Gravity does the rest.

No fuel, not even jet fuel, which is really just refined kerosene, will burn hotter than 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Steel-framed skyscrapers have never collapsed from fire.
It’s also odd that WTC7, which wasn’t hit by an airplane or by any significant debris, collapsed in strikingly similar fashion to the Twin Towers. There wasn’t even any jet fuel or kerosene burning in WTC7.
According to the 9-11 report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), "the specifics of the fires in WTC7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this tim."
Aside from its startling nonchalance, this statement makes a rather profound assumption. Again, no building prior to 9-11, in the 100-plus year history of steel frame buildings, had ever collapsed from fire.
This fact was known to firemen. Hence their unflinching rush up into the skyscrapers to put out the fire. Partly it was bravery, to be sure, but partly it was concrete knowledge that skyscrapers do not collapse due to fire.
David Schuster is pretty freakin' good. All in all.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces freed a cameraman for the Associated Press in Baghdad on Saturday after holding him for three months without charge, the news agency said. Ahmed Nouri Raziak, 38, was handed over to representatives of the Associated Press at a U.S. military compound in Baghdad. He had been detained by U.S. and Iraqi forces at his home in the northern city of Tikrit on June 4, the agency said in a report from Baghdad.
Raziak's release comes two days after the military freed an Iraqi cameraman for Reuters, Ali al-Mashhadani, who was held for three weeks without charge after being arrested while renewing his credentials at a U.S. military press office. As in Mashhadani's case, the U.S. military said it believed Raziak posed a threat, but concluded after a review that he did not. It did not elaborate.

DuaneV, so, no steel frameed skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire.
The WTC towers were supported by a steel framework sheathing the building. The stresses of the concrete floors were transferred to the curtain walls and an interior set of central columns.
So, crash a large aircraft into the curtain wall, destroying their support integrity, add heat from the jet fuel and other flammables, as well as the damage to the interior support structure.
You don't need a conspiracy, you don't need hidden explosives, you don't need anything other than plain old physics to explain what happened.
As for WTC7, I maintain that the vertical and horizontal seismic shock of the towers collapsing had a lot to do with the collapse, along with being pelted with debris from the towers.

Boy, is this getting tiresome...
"Duane, are you being deliberately obtuse, or just ignoring that it's been explained several times the difference between melt temp and tempering failure temp?"
melior
Hmm...Let's see who's being "deliberately obtuse"...
According to the 9-11 report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), "the specifics of the fires in WTC7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time."
The official story maintains that fires weakened the buildings. Jet fuel supposedly burned so hot it began to melt the steel columns supporting the towers.
But steel-framed skyscrapers have never collapsed from fire, since they’re built from steel that doesn’t melt below 2750 degrees Fahrenheit. No fuel, not even jet fuel, which is really just refined kerosene, will burn hotter than 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Did the FEMA investigators not think to ask the New York City Fire Department how they thought the fire started, or how the fires could have caused the astounding, historical collapse? This would seem to be an elementary step in any investigation about a fire. Instead, they chose to leave the cause of the collapse “unknown.”

Not according to you. Or, the "official" explanation.
So if the science in this article is correct (none of it goes beyond the tenth grade level), then we know that the floors of the three WTC buildings were not pancaking but were falling simultaneously. We also know that fire is an insufficient explanation for the initiation of the collapse of the buildings.
Sorry, Duane, I'm done. I explained it slowly three times, and even linked you to the AISC steel facts to show you the math.

He later attended Calallen High School in Corpus Christi, Texas, and spent two years as a pre-med student at Baylor University before he was expelled for drinking and vandalism — DeLay was caught painting a building at rival Texas A&M University green and gold, Baylor's colors. DeLay married Christine Furrh, whom he had known since high school, in 1967. The DeLays had a daughter, Danielle, in 1972.

For that, you'll need a quick course in metallurgy. Primarily, the hot side of the engine is composed not of structural steel, but, rather, high-nickel alloys with quite high melting points. Hastelloy and the like, with complicated cooling vents cast into the blades and extremely high-temp coatings to prevent ablation.
Not the same thing. Comparing apples and oranges.

The official story maintains that fires weakened the buildings. Jet fuel supposedly burned so hot it began to melt the steel columns supporting the towers.
Fires weakened key steel support beams enough to cause structural failures that resulted in the buildings' collapse. There were no controlled demolitions. The jet fuel was not the only substance burning, it was just an accelerant in one and two, and that's not what caused fires in WTC7. You know that this has happened in Madrid and Caracas and no planes crashed into those buildings. The other anomalies are explained by the different construction and design of the various buildings. Your theory hinges on the controlled demolitions.
If there is no evidence of CD, you have to go back to the drawing board.

Physicist Steven E.

Thermite is a substance that can achieve temperatures of 4500 degrees Fahrenheit within seconds upon ignition and can penetrate and destroy the most durable steel materials available.
"Grayish white aluminum oxide ... streaming away from the reaction sites ...consistent with the use of thermite."
- Steven E. Jones - Physicist
"Mike Pecoraro ... worked ... deep below the tower ... the room they were working in began to fill with a white smoke"

There is a lesson for the IX/XI truthers from the UFOlogists: the organizations in both cases are packed with government and establishment figures. Many academics count; CIA tortureless torture was developed by liberal civilian psych profs. A lot of people yawning on and on about truth just happen to be former Air Force or NavInt or out to sell a t-shirt. We aren't going to get to the bottom of it and it doesn't really matter: the handling of any disaster is far more important than the disaster itself, and there's no secret about W's FEMA-like bungling of IX/XI.

Your 9/11 "Scholars"
"Scholars" say the collapse of the towers is impossible
* None of the conspiracy "scholars" have passed a peer reviewed paper in a respected scientific journal saying the collapse of the towers was impossible.
* Many peer reviewed papers have been passed in respected scientific journals saying the towers collapsed from impact and fire alone.
* The few scholars who say they are structural engineers and are conspiracy theorists are not working in the field.
* Dr. Fetzer wrote books on JFK and moon landing conspiracies.
* Prof. Jones was a physicist who worked on cold fusion and not structural or civil engineering.
* Prof. Judy Woods was a dental engineer and did not have a job in structural engineering.
* Gordon Ross is not a structural engineer. None of his so called "papers" have passed peer review by a respected scientific journal. He hasn't made a single attempt in a respected journal.
* The scholars for 9/11 truth created their own journal which has no impact to the scientific community and is created by and for the conspiracy theorist community.
* Conspiracy theorists haven't tried to pass a peer reviewed paper in a respected scientific journal. This proves they have little faith in their own work.
* Structural engineers in Jones own university call his hypothesis "very unreliable".

We propounded it ourselves but it's definitely possible that Phila, who agrees with us on several issues, independently arrived at it. It's a pretty reasonable explanation for anyone who has studied not only history but historiography. There are books out there about what we didn't know and how that sort of informational gap affected how we knew everything else, like for example the exclusion of Aristotlean philosophy in Christian Europe.

Ted Stevens (R-AK) “discussed ways to get a pipeline bill through the Alaska Legislature with Bill Allen, an oil-services executive accused of providing the senator with about $250,000 in undisclosed financial benefits.” Stevens promised Allen, “I’m gonna try to see if I can get some bigwigs from back here and say, ‘Look … you gotta get this done’.” Two days later, Vice President Cheney undertook the unusual move of writing a letter to the Alaska Legislature urging members to “promptly enact” a bill to build the pipeline.

I got the Lee Brothers cookbook as a gift a week ago. I am looking at their recipit for fig preserves and pickled watermelon rind and they look really good. Cheese straws and five ways to cook grits (which are actually quite tasty) it is an interesting and eclectic cruise through the southern culinary repertoire.

The number of experts in controlled demolitions worldwide, a highly specialized field, can probably be counted on the fingers of both hands. If there were any controlled demolitions involved... the pool of suspects would be very small. Since there is no evidence that any controlled demolitions were involved, no one saw any need to question them. If they had, "the mystery" would have been solved long ago.
There is no mystery about what brought the towers and building 7 down, Duane. That's not to suggest there aren't many unanswered questions, like who really did hack Lizzie Borden's parents to death? We may never know.
That one guy wasn't even in fucking Prague. There is no controversy about the Italian yellowcake forgeries. Why do we have to argue about something that at best will be a lukewarm victory? Does the identity of the "real" Reichstag firebug really matter in light of oh we don't know everyfuckingthing else?

Latest Puma offering...
...(I)f the VP is supposed to handle the Democrats’ populist economic message: after the last few months of the primary campaign, it would be hard to say Hillary hasn’t proven herself an awfully good carrier of that message. And Hillary can performi the attacking functions of the VP nominee as well as Biden.
Will the Democratic party, which is committed (to say the least) to gender equity, and which in fact has a 50 percent quota for female delegates, accept Obama’s imposition of a glass ceiling at its convention?
A modest suggestion to my justifiably outraged Democratic friends: Hillary’s name should be placed in nomination not for the presidency (Obama won that more or less fair and square)--but for the vice presidency. It would be an interesting roll call vote.

Iraqis desperate for water.
Although the United States has spent $2.4 billion on Iraq’s water and sanitation sector since 2003, the United Nations “estimates that less than half of Iraqis get drinking water piped into their homes in rural areas. In the capital, people set their alarm clocks to wake them in the middle of the night so they can fill storage tanks when water pressure is under less strain.” Additionally, a billion liters of raw sewage is dumped into Baghdad’s waterways each day. The World Bank estimates that at least $14 billion is needed to refurbish Iraq’s water system." http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08...rate-for-water/

After the lavish Technicolor spectacle of The Red Shoes, British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger retreated into the inward, shadowy recesses of this moody, crackling character study. Based on the acclaimed novel by Nigel Balchin, The Small Back Room details the professional and personal travails of troubled, alcoholic research scientist and military bomb-disposal expert Sammy Rice (David Farrar), who, while struggling with a complex relationship with secretary girlfriend Susan (Kathleen Byron), is hired by the government to advise on a dangerous new German weapon. Deftly mixing suspense and romance, The Small Back Room is an atmospheric, post–World War II gem.

The real danger to the McCain crew in overusing the P.O.W. line so much that it’s a punch line is that it will give Obama an opening for critical questions:
While McCain’s experience was heroic, did it create a worldview incapable of anticipating the limits to U.S. military power in Iraq? Did he fail to absorb the lessons of Vietnam, so that he is doomed to always want to refight it? Did his captivity inform a search-and-destroy, shoot-first-ask-questions-later, “We are all Georgians,” mentality?
Well, Maureen, if you can ask the question seriously, you already know the answer, don't you?

The buildings were brought down by a flock of psychic mutant woodpeckers. Improperly stored radioactive waste created a species of metal beaked glass and steel eating birds no bigger than a mosquito. They sensed the coming attack and swarmed the buildings feeding on the structure and weakened it enough for the explosion to melt through the now tunnel ridden beams.
Hey, it makes as much sense as a bunch of secretly placed explosives.

Atrios sharing the hotel with the Utah delegation? Do we need to send him CARE packages filled with vodka?
He can probably find plenty of vodka. But, it would be funny to overnight him a set of magic underwear.

What is the link between Abramoff's think tank and South Africa?
SA was an ally from way back of Israel because of a pretty self-explanatory similar situation each found themselves in. SA had a massive, successful, influential Jewish community which stymied liberal tendencies in concerned yet ultimately harmless and neverending discussions (cough). SA also traded and collaborated in the development of military and police weapons systems. A SA head of state who had been imprisoned during WWII for pro-Nazi activities was allowed to lay a wreath at the Holowhatever memorial (recall that this token gesture is strictly forbidden to anyone who's been Bad, but apparently a former Nazi activist doesn't count when he's offering arms contracts). One of the bloodthirstily rightist films that Golan-Globus group contributed to by Abramoff was about one of SA's neighbor-wars.
good night everyone.

Vicki,
I have spent my entire life trying to convince people that those whom we ascribe credibility to because of position often are unworthy of that assignation.
(Seriously: that was the theme of my independent study as an undergraduate in my senior year.)
I never dreamed that we would take this mess this far though. Now we are doing things and believing things because some handsome man or some beautiful woman says to do so. The news readers that are hired for television now are primarily models. Their journalistic attributes are secondary at best. (If they even have any)
We have deteriorated to a nation that believes in literally anything that someone pretty, rich, and thin says. (I know that Atriots would never fall for such shit - so I am speaking in generalities)
The permeating of advertising and promotion in our lives has reached saturation point and threatens our very existence at this point. There is literally nothing that is not for sale or used for promotional purposes. We laugh it off but the humor is stilted . . . .

Retired Gen. Colin Powell is among the potential running mates who have been considered by John McCain, campaign advisers told Politico.
Powell was among the possible vice presidential choices the Arizona Republican senator was thinking of when he said he would not rule out a supporter of abortion rights, a key adviser said.

Hey WTC troll, WTC 7 had a receiving ramp for the entire complex. Didn't need much to cause structural failure.
I know, don't feed the trolls. But.....
Also, the lines seen on the bottom of the second plane-probably whoever was piloting started to open the landing gear to slow down the plane because he thought he might miss the tower.
There's lots of questions about that day-like why did W have that expression on his face like: "I know something was going to happen, but I didn't expect it to be this bad." and why did a former CIA asset hit us when we were doing wargames run by Dick Cheney?
Most of the actual physics has been covered already. Just be watching your local PBS station, sponsored by viewers like you. Thank you!

Noam Chomsky said in Manufacturing Consent that universities' function is to create and maintain an elite more interested in preseving bureaucracy, rather than subverting it. Because our system confers legitimacy on some, establishing them as the elite, they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, however fundamentally exploitive. This is the function served by the "educated" classes.
In other words, their very status prevents them from questioning the status quo, to an extent.

And no, that wasn't Obama. I don't want to tell tales out of school, but it was an incredibly old jewish guy who's initials were ss.
A Russian KGB agent is sent to Africa to kill an anti-Communist black
revolutionary. However, he has a change of heart when he sees how the
Russians and their Cuban allies are killing and repressing the locals,
so he switches sides and helps the rebels. Story by Jack and Robert Abramoff.

Importantly, they moved away from their standard negative attack - big oil - to seize an opportunity to define McCain's character. The campaign did not do this on Phil Gramm's 'nation of whiners' comment, for instance, but they did here, and that's a very good sign.
Stoller sounds a little happier. Good, last week I heard him on AirAmerica and wondered whose side he was on. Not a happy camper.
