Two firefighters were killed and a half dozen others injured in a fire in an abandoned skyscraper adjacent to the Twin Towers site.
Smoke was seen from the fire and it panicked people concerned with toxicity.
These fears appeared to be unwarranted.
It seems the NYC fire department keeps taking hits. We salute these fine men and the efforts they put forth and the risks they take.
The injured men are recovering well. The cause of the fire is not apparent.
Yeah, we all want it, but how exactly does one get money? Theres the working method. Thats good for paying the bills, but suppose those the hot girl ( or guy) you want to impress, Fridays on its way, but your check it spent! Argh! The bills!
So here’s what i do:
I get a personal loan from a trustworthy lender, this gets me through the pinch, and can really impress the girl. *smiles*
Theres an alternative for those of us that require it, and its often the best and fastest choice, a secured loan will often do what you thought impossible.
Both of these options are viable and recommended. I have found the very low fee I pay is more than worth the pleasure and success I enjoy because of the extra money I possess on the weekend, or on vacation.
I enjoy UKpersonalLoanStore.co.uk because they are fast, friendly, have the best loans.
The russian President said the reason they are resuming long range patrol flights is due to security threats.
Mr Putin said they had 14 bombers take off on Friday.
Moscow said its bombers began training over the North Pole.
Russia has been conducting joint military training with the chinese.
Russia is complaining that we are too strong, and they appear to fear US aggression.
“Flights by other countries’ strategic aircraft continue and this creates certain problems for ensuring the security of the Russian Federation,” Putin said.
Russia stopped alot of its patrols due to inability to fuel their planes.
I waqs flabbergasted when i saw this.I thought it was a prank. But perhaps the old adage “if you cant beat them, join them” comes into play. Microsoft will not overcome the beauty and grace of the Open Source movement.
Perhaps its not a true concession. When music style changed from the 80’s to the 90’s, instead of retiring Metallica simply adapted their style and still sold tickets and albums. This cost them a few fans but gained them more, and kept them in the game.
And now Microsoft, who once referred to Open Source as communism steps into the fray. In my opinion thats real nice, finally skilled coders can review the drivel put forth by the capitalist giant and maybe in a round about way Microsoft will turn out some good code.
Not only releasing a few pieces of Open Source code, but also surrendering some of its home grown licenses to the Open Source Initiative, Microsoft is really making waves in the Open Source community. Whats going on?
I think its simple, in this age, theres no longer 1 single way to do things, and when open source didnt prove to be just a trend, they realized it was a “get in or move on” thing. Blend, and continue with business as usual. A quote from the Microsoft Press release:
“Open source is neither an industry fad, nor a magic bullet.”
AT&T censored the popular band Pearl Jam.
At this past Lollapalooza AT&T played a pink floyd song during a song with lyrics that the media giant disagreed with. The Blue Room webcast that showed the concert to many many viewers was obfuscated.
When Pearl Jam was made aware of it, they posted a letter to all of their fans. Its available on their site. Whats more, I agree with them.
Pearl Jam is concerned about soemthing, and that something is media consolidation. SUppose that all the media corporations merge, in a sense, theres just one ISP, one tv station, one radio provider. And they dotn want a message to get to the masses, what then?
Hey as far as I know the constitution is still valid, and the bill of rights is intact…. But they cant sing a song because its not flattering to the white house? Do i smell the “third reich”? Indeed, no apology, or court settlement can right this wrong. A grave action has occurred, and if you are remotely aware of it, then you shoudl be worried, very concerned.
Suppose theres no net nuetrality? Then your emails just get lost… They remove your ability to communicate, or edit your communications to serve their needs. I think the possibilities are great, and worse, just frightening. AT&T is a big player in global communications, and i think their actions are completely appalling and grievous.
Pearl Jam is referring to the event as a “wake up call.” I am inclined to agree.
