After Green Beret Operation, Townspeople Have Questions About Bound Bodies
Townspeople said they had also found two bodies outside the compound,
their hands tied behind them with strips of tough white plastic.
Many of the people interviewed here said they suspected that the United States had
been misled by false intelligence information deliberately spread by one of the two
factions in town that were vying to control weapons left behind by departing Taliban.

US reviews Cuba prisoners' rights
Reports from Washington say a rift has developed in the US administration over the
status of al-Qaeda and Taleban suspects held at the American military base in Cuba.

No POW rights for Cuba prisoners
Cuba captives held 'below US standards'
Based on press reports from Guantanamo Bay, Mr Wright said that prisoners held at
Camp X-Ray in Cuba are not being held in accordance with minimal standards of care
and custody that would be afforded prisoners in US jails or prisons.

"There is basically not a facility there. Basically, they are being in what looks to me as a kennel.
That would be unacceptable," he said.

Mr Wright believes that part of the decision not to determine their status and not to bring
them on US soil is "so that their incarceration does not have to meet US standards and
US laws do not apply."

I did some genealogy surname tracing, I guess I am some kinda welsh irish surname.
I dunno if I was prepared for that. I of course can't trace it back beyond 4-5 generations
here in the U.S.

Goff Gough
This surname derives from the Welsh word coch, meaning red. In the thirteenth-century
the name occurs mostly in Waterford, of which city the family were burghers, from where
it (presumably) spread to the city of Dublin and the County Cork town of Youghal. By the
sixteenth-century the name is found in Waterford, Tipperary and Dublin, the same three
counties where it principally occurs today.

The great majority of Goughs in Ireland are of Welsh origin. Families called Coch
(Welsh word for red or ruddy) came to Ireland in the thirteenth century, settled
mainly in Dublin and Waterford and have been identified with those counties since.

Welshmen at the siege of Caerphilly Castle in 1327
David Gouth Dafydd Goch Goch = red haired. To become "Gough" or "Goff".

Goughs/Goffs in USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand

Microbial Colony in U.S. Suggests Life Could Live on Mars

The microbes were found living in a hot spring, 660 feet

from the Sun or from consuming other organic matter, but
by combining hydrogen from rocks with carbon dioxide.

Introduction to the Archaea

Methanogens are a part of the domain of life known as Archaea.

There are three main groups of Archaea:
extreme halophiles, methanogens, and hyperthermophiles.

The Diversity of Life

The Three Domains
3-domains (13k image)
1. The Archaea (archaebacteria)
2. The Bacteria (eubacteria)
3. The Eukarya (eukaryotes)

The Eukarya are subdivided into the following kingdoms:
a. Protista Kingdom
Protista are simple, predominately unicellular eukaryotic organisms.
Examples includes slime molds, euglenoids, algae, and protozoans.

b. Fungi Kingdom
Fungi are unicellular or multicellular organisms with eukaryotic cell types.
The cells have cell walls but are not organized into tissues. They do not
carry out photosynthesis and obtain nutrients through absorption.
Examples include sac fungi, club fungi, yeasts, and molds.

c. Plantae Kingdom
Plants are multicellular organisms composed of eukaryotic cells.
The cells are organized into tissues and have cell walls.
They obtain nutrients by photosynthesis and absorption.
Examples include mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants.

d. Animalia Kingdom
Animals are multicellular organisms composed of eukaryotic cells.
The cells are organized into tissues and lack cell walls.
They do not carry out photosynthesis and obtain nutrients
primarily by ingestion. Examples include sponges, worms, insects, and vertebrates.

Blackhawk Down was amazing. A Very intense movie. I will have to finish reading the
book online, but I only saw a bit of hollywoodizing in the whole movie.
The first showing had veteran flip out and run into a wall it disturbed him so much.
I'd like to go see it again, maybe with my wife even.

Getting all excited about see Blackhawk Down
In the trailer they show some Hughes MG 500 Helicopters.
I knew about the OH-6 used in Vietnam but I didn't think MG500s were still in use.
Hollywood is always using the wrong type of gear in movies, ie Red Dawn, Rambo etc...
To my surprise Hughes 500 are in service with the 160th Special Operations Regiment.
Anyway I found some very cool information on the A/MH-6 "Little Bird"

The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment is a unique unit.
It provides support to Special Operations Forces on a worldwide
basis with three types of modified helicopters. The capabilities of
the aviation units include inserting, resupplying and extracting U.S.

Gee I wonder how Bin Laden got away.....

Five suspected members of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network were arrested
in a high-speed car chase as they tried to flee into a tribal area out of the government's
reach disguised in women's burqas.

Police chased the vehicle and arrested what appeared to be some women wearing
burqas - the all-encompassing garment commonly worn by women in the area.
When the burqas were removed, officials said, they turned out to be men.

with bankers with whom the company was negotiating for a credit extension to

So I am going crazy with the whole video editing thing. I don't know anyone doing this stuff
so its a trial and error learning process for me.
Recording at 640x480 MPEG1 2500kbs/256 audio is so much better than anything at 320x240.
I can't uncompress to AVI because the files are so much larger, but I can cut and
append in Virtual Dub. I then export the video at 640x480 Divx 4.12
2 hours = 2.31 GB Roughly 1 Gig an Hour. Its a 19Gig partition I am using.

First of I am not a mac lover or a mac hater. I consider them for the most part irrelevant.
Most mac I have used have been a year or more old and seem rather slow.
The office G3 350? mac runs 9.1X nicely but OS X slows it down.
So here is my take on the new IMAC2
It looks like a lamp!
imac2 (6k image)imac2a (7k image)

They got rid of that damn mouse! Thats a great idea
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX (MX200?, MX400? GeForce2TI would be nice)
No USB2.0 support Firewire is standard of course. I wish PCs had Firewire on MB
Cool SuperDrive 4.7GB dvd-r
To bad it's not standard. Its an extra couple hundred.
The disks aren't re-writeable and are 5 bucks a pop.
The lowest price IMAC2 is $1,299.00 without DVD-R or even DVD.
The DVD-R version is $1,799.00 (that sound a bit pricey)

I don't see alot of firsttime computer buyers spending that kind of
money with the price point of a new PC is closer to half of that.
MAC people will probably love it, PC people might be intrigued.
I don't think alot of new customers will want to buy for their first PC.

White House aides fear the failure to track down bin Laden could haunt President Bush,
who has declared bin Laden is wanted "dead or alive", just as Saddam Hussein's continued
presence in Iraq is used to criticise his father's conduct of the Gulf war.
Using local fighters as proxies and supporting them with devastating air power, Gen Tommy Franks,
head of US Central Command, minimised the risks of American troops being killed and of a Muslim
backlash to a foreign invading force.
But the cost has been a failure to round up Taliban and al-Qa'eda leaders as the Northern Alliance
and other Afghan guerrilla groups have followed the Afghan tradition of allowing opponents to switch
sides or pay for their freedom.
Most of the 40 most wanted Taliban and al-Qa'eda leaders seem to have left Afghanistan.
Senator John Edwards, part of a congressional delegation to Central Asia, said in Uzbekistan that
intelligence officers there thought bin Laden was no longer in the country.
"They are of the belief that he has now gone into Pakistan."

I have figuired out I will record stuff in a high quality 320x240 mpeg1 format.
If I wanna keep anything I will Virtualdub it down to uncompressed avi.
Then I will Divx it or turn it into a real media file.
I have run into a few problems and I think I have fiquired out whole to fix it.

She warned him unless he changed his ways she would cut his penis off.
The final straw came when he again came home late and drunk.
She waited until Jose fell asleep before taking a razor-sharp knife and cutting off his penis at the base.

So my Avermedia TV Studio card showed up today.
Very cool. No problems installing it into a my Windows 2000. This thing kicks ass, I had
an All-In-Wonder Pro card and this thing blows it away. The FM radio has 30 preset
FM Channels which you can label. The remote is great, with the program sleeping in
the systray you can power up the program with the remote.
A 11 minute VCD quality recording 320x240 is 115 megs. My system can do higher
but I have no way of storing anything much higher. Much above 320 shows off
how crappy cable is. This was a great way to spend 75 bucks. The frame capture
feature is pretty cool. I haven't played with the pause TV fuction but it looks interesting.

This 16 channel thing is cool, but I don't think I will use it much.

Zero has a new Stylesheet. It's stylin.
Presurfer changed some stuff too.
And Bar Napkins has a new logo.

I did change webcam cameras, I was using an NTSC camera into an All-in-Wonder-Pro.
The all-in-wonder was getting a bit slow so I exchanged it for my PCI Geforce2 MX400.
So I had to hook up my CT Labs Webcam III. It puts out a nice picture but its lenses
is very different from the ntsc one.

File Sharing
Being the old timer that I am I'm a newbie to all this file sharing. I can remember the
day a found an alpha/beta copy of the game called doom on a ftp site in Canada.
I think I even had to reset my bios to get the day changed.
So anyway music and videos are getting bounced all over the internet with file
sharing programs. I recent messed around with Audio Galaxy but there are a
bunch of other ones too.

I think I am going to watch Comedy Central just for the Jack Black Orange County Commercials.
I wonder what these clips are? They don't look like part of the movie.
I'm very excited about seeing that one and Blackhawk Down.

I was listening to Shakira's song Eyes Like Yours.
I guess the album is going pop but I still like it. It's a nice change from all the J-pop.

Barnes and Noble has a clip of Eyes like Yours Amazon doesn't.

I've been thinking alot about this page, I sometimes want to peg down what it is or isn't
and it even defies me to classify it. I suppose I should worry about something else.
I was going through all the links on my page, what a mess. I didn't do anything special for
new years. My wife had to go drive her friend to jail to bail out her husband but other than
that it was a pretty boring evening. I am glad I am not the only one who
played computer games all day yesterday.
I of course literary played Alpha Centauri all day at least 17-18 hours strait.
