Glenn Becks Restoring Honor Rally Full Video

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of th...Image via WikipediaGlenn Beck and his Restoring Honor Rally seems to once again appears not to be in the News. Yet with literally 100's of thousands. Not 10's showing up creating History for a purpose that finally makes sense.
As many of the friends I talk to on a daily basis we had a hard time finding coverage on this major event. But, We Found It! The full video is here from C-Span.
I wanted to watch it all first before I went posting it all, and I have to say this is actually best news I've ran across in years now. If you don't have time to watch all 3 hours of this. Come back and watch as you can. This is what ALL Americans should be thinking on and doing. The points made by every person speaking here is well worth listening to. The Honor of our Soldiers and their Mothers. The Voice of all Americans and the Forefathers of our very own Country. A brief lesson on our Awesome History from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King. What they stood for and the Freedom they all fought for.
If your one of those that thing the Rally after Glenn's here was worth it? You might want to stop and watch all of this video. There was NO disrespect to Martin Luther King, Nor anything Political. This entire event was about restoring Honor, Our Freedom, as Americans and All walks of life here in America coming together and Restoring our Country and our Constitution, And having once again One Nation Under God.
Don't take the news feeds as your source to grip and complain. Take the time and Watch this. It's about time that we as Americans finally get some good news for a change. This is it.
As I have seen the News and Media try so hard to down play this huge event. I wanted to take the time to help give them Credit. This is Awesome. Whether or not you like Glenn Beck or not. What he did here, is exactly what this entire Country needs again. America is only a great Nation Because of Our God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and others spoke at the Restoring Honor Rally, held at the Lincoln Memorial. Speakers focused on the conservative agenda, emphasizing civil rights issues, the economy, and reducing the size and influence of government.

Indonesian volcano erupts again, spewing hot ash - Yahoo! News

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100830/ap_on_re_as/as_indonesia_volcano_erupts

 

TANAH KARO, Indonesia – An Indonesian volcano dormant for four centuries erupted for the second straight day Monday, shooting clouds of hot ash more than a mile into the air and forcing 30,000 people to flee.

Some domestic airplanes had to be diverted because of poor visibility.

Many villagers living along the slopes of Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra province wore masks as they packed their belongings and headed to emergency shelters, mosques and churches, said Andi Arief, a presidential adviser on disasters.

Their abandoned homes and crops were blanketed in gray soot and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur.

While two people died — a 64-year-old woman from respiratory problems and a 52-year-old man from a heart attack — it was too early to say if the volcano was to blame, said Priyadi Kardono of the National Disaster Management Agency.

Sinabung last erupted in 1600, so observers don't know its eruption pattern and admitted over the weekend they had not monitored it closely before it started rumbling days ago in the lead-up to Sunday's first, less-powerful blast.

Hours later, the alert was raised to the highest level.

Like other volcanoes along the Sumatra fault line — the meeting point of the Eurasian and Pacific tectonic plates that have pushed against each other for millions of years — it has the potential to be very destructive.

Stiff magna forming inside the conical tip can act as a plug, allowing pressure to build up until it reaches a bursting point.

Death Threats Force FreedomWorks to Move

By: David A. Patten
The grass-roots conservative FreedomWorks organization has received so many death threats in the run-up to the midterm elections that the organization is moving its headquarters.
"Yes, it's constant, and we are going to have to move up to Capitol Hill," FreedomWorks spokesman Adam Brandon tells Newsmax.
The threats are coming in via phone and e-mail, and have escalated to the point that the organization has decided it must move into a high-security building near the Capitol building.
Editor's Note: See the Newsmax interview with Dick Armey below.
Many of the threats are said to involve high-profile FreedomWorks Chairman and former Rep. Dick Armey, who has become a de facto spokesman for the tea party movement.
Sources tell Newsmax some threats are veiled, while others are explicit. Many are profanity-laced telephone calls, and some imply the use of weapons
"It's not like we think there's an imminent threat coming tomorrow," Brandon tells Newsmax. "It's that it just doesn't stop, and we're concerned that somebody someday is going to have a screw loose."
FreedomWorks officials expect the intensity of the threats to increase as the November elections draw near. But the organization, which has played a central role in nurturing the various tea party organizations, is putting off its move until after the elections to avoid any disruption of its activities.
In addition to moving to a more secure building, Brandon says the organization also may hire additional security guards.

Pastor shot by Spokane Valley police officer

A pastor and owner of a plant nursery was shot and killed by a Spokane Valley police officer late Wednesday night, police said.
The Associated Press
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. —
A pastor and owner of a plant nursery was shot and killed by a Spokane Valley police officer late Wednesday night, police said.
The man was identified as Wayne Scott Creach, 74, according to the Spokane Police Department, which has taken over the investigation, along with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office and the Washington State Patrol, from the suburban agency.
Creach served at Greenacres Baptist Church for 40 years and also owns a nursery business called the Plant Farm. He lived next door to the nursery, and was shot in the parking lot of the business, police said.
Earlier Wednesday, a neighbor made a request for increased patrols in the area, and a Spokane Valley police officer had parked his unmarked car in the parking lot. Creach approached the officer after dark, police said.
"At some point there was a confrontation between (Creach) and the police officer and the officer fired his duty weapon," said Spokane police spokeswoman Jennifer DeRuwe.
A gun was found near Creach, police said.
Creach's son, Alan Creach, issued a statement.
"At 11 o'clock my dad got out of his bed responding to what he thought was a burglar, challenged that vehicle in his parking lot in front of the Plant Farm, subsequently a deputy shot and killed him," the statement.
Known as Pastor Scott, Creach founded Greenacres Baptist Church in 1971. The church has about 300 members.

Thousands Gather in D.C. for Beck's

Aerial view of the National Mall in Washington...Image via Wikipediahttp://abcnews.go.com/Politics/thousands-gather-dc-becks-restoring-honor-rally/story?id=11504433
As Tea Party activists and other conservatives began converging on Washington, D.C. this morning for Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally, the war of words between liberals and conservatives continued to broil.

Americans For Prosperity tell ABC News why they are going to Glenn Beck rally.Today at the National Mall, the rally has attracted more than 100,000 people gathered to see speeches by both Beck and Sarah Palin. Security was beefed up amid concerns of a clash because Beck's rally coincides with the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King's speech, to be commemorated by various marches and rallies on the capitol."Something that is beyond man is happening," Beck told his supporters as the rally opened. "America today begins to turn back to God. For too long, this country has wandered in darkness."Beck has shunned criticism from some civil rights leaders that holding his rally on this historic day tarnishes King's legacy.

Full-Body Scan Technology Deployed In Street-Roving Vans - Andy Greenberg - The Firewall - Forbes

U.S. Department of Defense Information Assuran...Image via WikipediaTechnology is advancing so much today. I don't think many realize the danger something like this can bring to a population if it was placed into the wrong hands. I talk to many people from all over the place. Some might say well you live in fear. Or you are to worried about things. Maybe even your crazy. lol
For me, I know what the Bible says. Just take a moment. Even if you don't believe. Just imagine for a moment that there is a very real Satan that manipulates the minds of men. Just imagine for a moment that the Book of Revelation just might actually be true. With an open mind to an Evil Government. Which we all know either way actually exists. Give this technology to them. What you think an Evil mind could do with something like this?
This is more than body scanners it scans everything. Though a great idea and may even come in handy. Yet, This very tech, can also become told end to privacy and our very own freedom. Think it can't Happen? You might want to read Revelation again.

Full-Body Scan Technology Deployed In Street-Roving Vans

As the privacy controversy around full-body security scans begins to simmer, it’s worth noting that courthouses and airport security checkpoints aren’t the only places where backscatter x-ray vision is being deployed. The same technology, capable of seeing through clothes and walls, has also been rolling out on U.S. streets.
American Science & Engineering, a company based in Billerica, Massachusetts, has sold U.S. and foreign government agencies more than 500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past neighboring vehicles to see their contents, Joe Reiss, a vice president of marketing at the company told me in an interview. While the biggest buyer of AS&E’s machines over the last seven years has been the Department of Defense operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, Reiss says law enforcement agencies have also deployed the vans to search for vehicle-based bombs in the U.S.
“This product is now the largest selling cargo and vehicle inspection system ever,” says Reiss.
Here’s a video of the vans in action.

Dattoos would be the ultimate user/machine interface

Five years ago, Frog Design founder Hartmut Esslinger envisioned a technology that “could influence notions of community, identity, and connectivity with minimal impact on the physical environment.” Using an online design portal, users would select and try out a customized electronic processing device that they would then print onto their own skin. The DNA Tattoo, or Dattoo, could include printable input/output tools such as a camera, microphone, or laser-loudspeaker – it would be up to the user, as would the Dattoo’s aesthetics. Most intriguingly, it would capture its wearer’s DNA, to ensure an intimate user/machine relationship.
Conceived for the 2005 Forrester Consumer Forum, the Dattoo was a response to the still-increasing trend of self-expression through connectivity technology – in a sense, you could call it the ultimate smart phone skin. The idea was to “realize a state of constant, seamless connectivity and computability requir[ing] the convergence of technology and self.” This meant that the body itself would need to become the interface, and would supply the required energy. Because Dattoos would largely replace three-dimensional tools such as smart phones or laptops, the environment would be spared the costs of producing, transporting and disposing of those items.
Users in different geographical regions would be linked by common interests, and could communicate with one another, through their Dattoos. The unique DNA signatures would allow individuals to be readily identifiable, in a sense almost projecting users Second Life-style into cyberspace. Software would take a liquid form, in keeping with the Dattoo’s “organic computer” philosophy.
Despite evoking creepy Matrix-like images of permanent implants, Dattoos would actually be temporary and minimally-invasive. They could even be applied to clothing or other objects, instead of the skin. At the end of the day, they would simply be washed off. The next day, depending on what the user planned to do, they could order up and apply a new one.
Besides DNA-reading/identification, cameras, mikes and speakers, Esslinger’s ultimate vision was one of Dattoos that included nanosensors and interactive Braille-like "touch reading,” pattern and image recognition, self-learning and educational applications, living materials that change shape and feel, flexible OLED displays, bionic nano chips and cyborg components.
In the past five years, we’ve definitely gotten closer to Dattoos becoming more than just a concept. An example from this year is the Skinput, an experimental system that allows users to control electronic devices via a display projected onto their arm.
Just one of the ideas shown here.

Saudis hope giant clock will set 'Mecca Time' - Yahoo! News

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100810/wl_mideast_afp/saudireligionmeccaconstructiontime

MECCA, Saudi Arabia (AFP) – Muslims around the world could be setting their watches to a new time soon when the world's largest clock begins ticking atop a soaring skyscraper in Islam's holiest city of Mecca.
Saudi Arabia hopes the four faces of the new clock, which will loom over Mecca's Grand Mosque from what is expected to be the world's second tallest building, will establish Mecca as an alternate time standard to the Greenwich median.
The clock is targeted to enter service with a three-month trial period in the first week of the holy month of Ramadan on or about August 12, according to the Saudi state news agency SPA.
It boasts four glimmering 46 metre-across (151 feet) faces of high-tech composite tiles, some laced with gold, sitting more than 400 metres (1,320 feet) over the Holy Haram compound.
The tower's height will reach 601 metres (1,983 feet), SPA said. On its website, Premiere Composite, which is responsible for cladding the top section -- including a shimmering spire topped by a golden crescent moon -- puts the planned height at 590 metres (1,947 feet).
That would make it the world's second tallest building -- ahead of Taiwan's 509 metre (1,670 feet) Taipei 101, but well behind the Burj Khalifa, the 828 metre (2,717 feet) skyscraper inaugurated in Dubai in January.

"Everyone is interested to see the clock, despite the lack of sufficient information about it, and its mechanism," said Mecca resident Hani al-Wajeeh.
"We in Mecca hope to be the world's central time zone, and not just have a clock to look at, to show off," he said.
The developer of the massive seven-tower Abraj al-Bait complex had kept the details of the clock a secret, but it is visibly in place now, adorned with the green crossed sword and palm symbol of the Saudi state.
Mohammed al-Arkubi, the manager of the Royal Mecca Clock Tower Hotel in the building below, said the installation of the clock, its faces made by the German-owned Dubai company, Premiere Composite Technologies, has been "a huge operation."
The clock reflects a goal by some Muslims to replace the 126-year-old Universal Time standard -- originally called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) -- with Mecca mean time.
At a conference in Doha in 2008, Muslim clerics and scholars presented "scientific" arguments that Mecca time is the true global meridian. They said that Mecca is the centre of the world and that the Greenwich standard was imposed by the west in 1884.
Big does not begin to describe the Abraj al-Bait complex just across the street from the south gate of the Grand Mosque, the Muslim world's most sacred site.
