Thanks for the new TM thread! Always appreciated.
BUMP - to check back for update.
Any idea what the chemicals could be?
no updates at this time.
cannot find any posting on traffic conditions in that area. must not be a big as first dispatched.
I thank you, for bringing the prayer request to the forefront. ;-)
Great are our needs, O God, expressed and silent, but You search the heart and know our every thought. We claim Your promise that You will provide all our needs according to Your riches in glory, by Christ Jesus. We cover each need with believing prayer and ask that our prayers become a shield of protection around each dear heart ... that each will be strengthened because of Your tender mercy ... that weary hands will be renewed, that the darkness of day will become a light to show the way ... that infirmity will be cast out with a return to health. We are frail ... we are but dust, but because of Your goodness and mercy, we know the Creator of the Universe has granted to the believer, everlasting life.
May we rise up refreshed because we have been in the Presence of the Living Lord. In the Name of Jesus, may it be so, O God ... Amen ...
Don't eat before going to bed --- curbs those nightmares.
Smiling...
Your welcome, Vel. There is one particular and well-known TMer in great need and then there are quite a few others who are also facing severe challenges. Anyone who is in need of comfort and guidance right now, please consider yourself covered.
Umbrella prayer requests are powerful!
FBI Questions Hundreds of Muslims Ahead of Tonight's Debate in Arizona
http://www.pacifica.org/programs/dn/041013.html
INTRO: Ahead of tonight's debate in Tempe, FBI agents have been questioning hundreds of Muslims across the state and visiting mosques in what they say is a new initiative to thwart terrorist attacks. We speak with the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Arizona and a University student from Yemen who was questioned.
President Bush and Senator John Kerry meet today in Arizona for the third and final presidential debate of the campaign. The encounter, which is being held at Arizona State University, will focus on domestic issues including jobs, health care and taxes.
In the weeks leading up to the final debate, FBI agents have been knocking on doors of hundreds of Muslims in the key swing state of Arizona and conducting so-called "voluntary interviews" as well as revisiting mosques in what they say is new initiative to thwart terrorist attacks.
The FBI plan - officially known as the "Fall Threat Task Force" but dubbed by critics as the "October Plan" - is not just confined to Arizona. With just a few weeks left to go before the election, "interviews" of individuals in Arab and Muslim communities is taking place all across the country and there is a growing concern that the new government plan could silence political expression in Muslim communities before the presidential election.
* Deedra Abboud, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Arizona.
* Yaser Alamoodi, subject of a "voluntary interview" by the FBI recently. He is a 27 year-old immigrant from Yemen who grew up in Saudi Arabia and came to the U.S. for university seven years ago.
Thank you, Pegita. Your prayers are always full of grace and comfort to all who read them. I know this will mean alot to the Tmers in need.
It was the salt bagel, I just know it. :)
PRAYING daily and nightly because PRAYER IS POWERFUL.
I'll add your request to my list.
Thanks Donna.
Work gloves found at collapsed towers
http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20041013-104253-8289r.htm
Milwaukee, WI, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- A pair of electrical worker's gloves with the initials "B.G." and a metal punch have been found near where two electrical towers fell near Milwaukee Saturday.
nvestigators found the gloves about 75 feet away from the towers and believe they are related to what authorities suspect was a case of sabotage that blacked out 17,000 homes and businesses, including Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport, for part of the weekend.
Police have not ruled out terrorism in the incident that dropped electrical wires on railroad tracks used by Amtrak and Canadian Pacific trains.
"We believe they are related to the case, an FBI special agent told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Pewaukee-based American Transmission Co. is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to conviction of the vandal. Replacing the two 80-foot electric transmission towers in Oak Creek will cost the company about $300,000.
We've been reporting here on TM that they've been entering from Mexico for quite some time.
Was just discussing this older article, which reinforces the Arizona border connection:

So, 25 Chechens may have come over in July...but as we know, many others are already here.
I agree with you that the shoe will drop and soon. I had thought that they'd aim for Oct. 12th and thankfully, I was wrong. The jihadi posts are focused on Ramadan.
"We don't know whether or not that report is true,"
(Chechens)
and why not, pray tell?

Police say they found 39-year-old Chris Hoffman and another man sitting in a pickup truck in Fond du Lac after they followed another vehicle from Oshkosh Sunday.
They say Hoffman told them he was working undercover for the Department of Homeland Security.
Hoffman is charged with impersonating an officer, obstruction and possession of drug paraphernalia.
es, but I don't think they were Chechens....other ME types who looked rather Hispanic.
Keep your eyes and ears open...The DOW is taking a sudden drop...don't know what for yet...
RUDY GIULIANI ON KERRY AND TERRORISM
http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=15504
ARLINGTON, VA - Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani delivered the following remarks in a Bush-Cheney '04 conference call today:
"For some time, and including when I spoke at the Republican Convention, I’ve wondered exactly what John Kerry’s approach would be to terrorism and I’ve wondered whether he had the conviction, the determination, and the focus, and the correct worldview to conduct a successful war against terrorism. And his quotations in the New York Times yesterday make it clear that he lacks that kind of committed view of the world. In fact, his comments are kind of extraordinary, particularly since he thinks we used to before September 11 live in a relatively safe world. He says we have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance.
"I’m wondering exactly when Senator Kerry thought they were just a nuisance. Maybe when they attacked the USS Cole? Or when they attacked the World Trade Center in 1993? Or when they slaughtered the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972? Or killed Leon Klinghoffer by throwing him overboard? Or the innumerable number of terrorist acts that they committed in the 70s, the 80s and the 90s, leading up to September 11?
"This is so different from the President’s view and my own, which is in those days, when we were fooling ourselves about the danger of terrorism, we were actually in the greatest danger. When you don’t confront correctly and view realistically the danger that you face, that’s when you’re at the greatest risk. When you at least realize the danger and you begin to confront it, then you begin to become safer. And for him to say that in the good old days – I’m assuming he means the 90s and the 80s and the 70s -- they were just a nuisance, this really begins to explain a lot of his inconsistent positions on how to deal with it because he’s not defining it correctly.
"As a former law enforcement person, he says ‘I know we’re never going to end prostitution. We’re never going to end illegal gambling. But we’re going to reduce it.’ This is not illegal gambling; this isn’t prostitution. Having been a former law enforcement person for a lot longer than John Kerry ever was, I don’t understand his confusion. Even when he says ‘organized crime to a level where it isn’t not on the rise,’ it was not the goal of the Justice Department to just reduce organized crime. It was the goal of the Justice Department to eliminate organized crime. Was there some acceptable level of organized crime: two families, instead of five, or they can control one union but not the other?
The idea that you can have an acceptable level of terrorism is frightening. How do you explain that to the people who are beheaded or the innocent people that are killed, that we’re going to tolerate a certain acceptable [level] of terrorism, and that acceptable level will exist and then we’ll stop thinking about it? This is an extraordinary statement. I think it is not a statement that in any way is ancillary. I think this is the core of John Kerry’s thinking. This does create some consistency in his thinking.
"It is consistent with his views on Vietnam: that we should have left and abandoned Vietnam. It is consistent with his view of Nicaragua and the Sandinistas. It is consistent with his view of opposing Ronald Reagan at every step of the way in the arms buildup that was necessary to destroy communism. It is consistent with his view of not supporting the Persian Gulf War, which was another extraordinary step. Whatever John Kerry’s global test is, the Persian Gulf War certainly would pass anyone’s global test. If it were up to John Kerry, Saddam Hussein would not only still be in power, but he’d still be controlling Kuwait.
"Finally, what he did after the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, where I guess at that point terrorism was still just a nuisance. He must have thought that because that’s why he proposed seriously reducing our intelligence budget, when you would think someone who was really sensitive to the problem of terrorism would have done just the opposite. I think that rather than being some aberrational comment, it is the core of the John Kerry philosophy: that terrorism is no different than domestic law enforcement problems, and that the best we’re ever going to be able to do is reduce it, so why not follow the more European approach of compromising with it the way Europeans did in the 70s and the 80s and the 90s?
"This is so totally different than what I think was the major advance that President Bush made – significant advance that he made in the Bush Doctrine on September 20, 2001, when he said we’re going to face up to terrorism and we’re going to do everything we can to defeat it, completely. There’s no reason why we have to tolerate global terrorism, just like there’s no reason to tolerate organized crime.
"So I think this is a seminal issue, this is one that explains or ties together a lot of things that we’ve talked about. Even this notion that the Kerry campaign was so upset that the Vice President and others were saying that he doesn’t understand the threat of terrorism; that he thinks it’s just a law enforcement action. It turns out the Vice President was right. He does and maybe this is a difference, maybe this is an honest difference that we really should debate straight out. He thinks that the threat is not as great as at least the President does, and I do, and the Vice President does." Monday, October 11, 2004
