Saw this story on the local news last night - odd thing was, at the time, they said they had determined that there was an 86% certainty that this powder posed no threat. My son and I both went, huh? What the heck? 86%? SNORT!
Thanks JP

Hey, weather affects everything.
Hopefully someone will turn that post in to TBTB!
Which one is the TS site?
Strange story, must be enticing a lot of people, and messing up their computers.
Oooops, I see you posted the link, thanks!
I have map links you may find useful on my education page

ROFL. Bruceremo had me going on google searches for quite some time. At least now we know that nobody named Bruceremo is threatened, nor is he (whoever he may be) a jihadi. ;-)
Now that's interesting.
Yes, I recall that. Just reading the Drudge report about the HUGE waves- no explanation given- and then reading that report about new weaponry...created a bit of curiosity
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:
What makes 100%?
What does it mean! to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26,
then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and,
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
and, look how far ass kissing will take you: A-S-S--K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hardwork and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, Bullshit and Ass Kissing will put you over the top!
That was too easy. ;-)
Have a really great time AP
Got that right!
It is the origination of my name, everyone calls me NWC... but nwctwx broken up is, nw (Northwest) ct (Connecticut) wx (Weather).
My first love has always been weather. :)
LAUGHING...
Well, most of us aren't travelling to these places, but it is interesting reading as to what is going on in the hot spots of the world.

Above Top Secret
WOW! This is incredible!
And we're not even supposed to be calling anyone illegal aliens, according to people like Willie Brown, ex-mayor of SF.
It might hurt someone's feelings.
They were always saying "water,water,water" months ago...
Some interesting developments:

Militant Group Abducts Egyptian Diplomat
By PAUL GARWOOD, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Militants in Iraq (news - web sites) took an Egyptian diplomat hostage Friday and demanded his country forsake any plans it had to send security experts here, according to a video broadcast Friday on the Al-Jazeera television station.
The station also showed a separate videotape from another militant group which abducted seven foreign truck drivers, who issued new demands for the company to compensate the families of those killed in battles with U.S. forces in Fallujah. The company was given 48 hours to comply.
An Egyptian diplomat in Baghdad, who declined to be identified, confirmed that Mohammed Mamdouh Helmi Qutb was abducted Friday. The diplomat said Qutb was taken while leaving a mosque.
The videotape show Qutb sitting in front of six masked kidnappers. They were clad in black hoods and robes, with white headbands. One was holding an assault rifle and another had a pistol on his hip.
The group, which called itself the "Lions of Allah Brigade," said it abducted Qutb because the Egyptian government said it was prepared to deploy security experts to help the interim government in Iraq.
The video was inaudible, but the Al-Jazeera newscaster paraphrased it. No specific threat against Qutb, who was wearing a pale, open-necked shirt, was mentioned.
Qutb, who said he was being treated well, added that the Egyptian mission in Baghdad was not cooperating with the U.S.-led multinational force and was only trying to help rebuild Iraq, the newscaster said.
Egypt has offered to train Iraqi police and security personnel in Egypt, but it has declined to deploy military forces in Iraq.
Egypt has a diplomatic mission and a charge d'affairs in Baghdad. It has not yet restored relations with Iraq at the ambassadorial level.
At Al-Jazeera's head office in Qatar, a producer said the station received the tape Friday from its Baghdad bureau.
On the second videotape, the militant group calling itself "The Holders of the Black Banners" also demanded the release of Iraqi detainees in Kuwaiti and U.S. prisons.
In an announcement Wednesday, the group said it would behead one captive every 72 hours beginning Saturday night if the Kuwaiti trucking company they work for did not stop doing business in Iraq and their countries did not pull their citizens out of the country.
In the new tape, a masked man stood behind the seven hostages — an Egyptian, three Kenyans and three Indians — and read a statement, with a black banner bearing Quranic verses and the name of the group on the wall behind him.
