Just Say Nano

Eric Flowers

Nothing demonstrates the nature if the Orwellian world we live in more than the official story and cover up of 9/11.

Big Brother (in George Orwell's book "1984") demanded that people accept and believe that 2 + 2 =5. Big Brer Fox (News) and other contemporary mind manipulators want us to accept mathematical and scientific anomalies in order to believe the official version of the 9/11 attacks.
The jig is up now. Independent scientists have put samples of the World Trade Center dust under a microscope and have identified residues of the explosive, nano-thermite, in three different phases: burnt, partially burnt and unburnt. Results of their findings have been printed in a peer-reviewed journal to be scrutinized by scientists and other critical thinkers worldwide.

Low Leash Esteem

Eric Flowers

It's been several weeks now since my dog has been 'attacked' while on-leash and I've been debating whether to write this letter because he can't type. We have gone back and forth with the issues and both Olliver and I have decided to go ahead and make it public.

A Trail Monopoly: Approaching retirement, trails guru Marv Lang gets a pat on the back

Eric Flowers

Land near his namesake trail at Phil’sAs one of the top trails and recreation planners on the local national forest, Marv Lang is accustomed to being pulled in several directions and, occasionally, getting kicked around a bit by competing users.
Recently though, Lang got a very visible pat on the back when the Central Oregon Trail Alliance designated a new segment in the Phil's Trail system as Marv's Garden. And as local bikers know, getting a trail named after you is one of the highest honors in the Central Oregon biking hierarchy.

We Sold Our Souls For Rock and Roll: Gonzo at Wal-Mart, mud flap sales and Scientology

Eric Flowers

The author has been sent on the road to discover a lost country formerly known as America. He is reporting from the catwalk at the annual fashion show in La Pine, wearing a tube-top, cutoff jeans shorts and cowboy boots, on assignment for Or-Bust.com and The Source Weekly.

And the Winner is…
Forget Simon, let's talk Sonia-Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor, that is, who was nominated on Monday by President Obama to replace David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court. If her controversial same-sex marriage decision in Rocky v. Bullwinkle and those pictures of her eating a pickle don't come to light, Judge Sotomayor will become the first Hispanic and third female U.S. Supreme Court justice. "An inspiring woman who I believe will make a great justice." lauded Obama while introducing Judge Sotomayor's nomination. A case surely to hit the new justice's desk will be the California Supreme Court's upholding of a voter-approved ban on same-sex unions, which allows existing same-sex marriages to remain legal (how's that for confusing?). As Sotomayor's nomination was announced, nearby, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales wiped away a tear, mumbled something incoherent, then returned to stocking shelves at Wal-Mart.

Slideshows on Fire: Ignite Bend displays the power of Power Point

The Source Staff

Next slide, please.It's tough to get excited about Power Point presentations. Who would
believe the software that your company's HR departments uses to outline
the new personal day policy and your professor employs to bullet point
the notable events of the Crimean War could possibly lend itself to
anything even mildly entertaining?

Yet this conference room slideshow
software is perhaps the key ingredient for the June 4th Ignite Bend
event at the Tower Theatre. And unlike those HR presentations, the
event should prove to be a big draw. Ignite events have been
flourishing across the country for three years now and the concept
landed in Bend in February when the first-ever Ignite Bend took place.
The
concept is pretty simple: Each presenter has five minutes of stage time
in which they present 20 different automatically rotating 15-second
slides. Once the slideshow starts, it doesn't stop, regardless of the
performance - which range from informative lectures to musical comedy
routines to performance art. At the first Ignite Bend, there was a
presentation on the correlations between poker and life, a defense of
local Christians, a talk on the history of Legos and a song about
getting laid off.
