Just Say Nano
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.

One Nation, Under Fris (bee)
And Dog said, "Let there be flight!" Well at least it seems that way to 'Frisbyterians.' Baseball may be the Great American Pastime, Football and NASCAR may have the most spectators, but to me, there is nothing more American than the Frisbee.

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