Bike Transformation is Done :)
Well, here she is... pictured next to what she used to be. Her name? "My BMW." My Bike My Way. *grin*
Click on the title.
I don't know what happened to the pic I put up originally... but in checking my previous posts I noted it wasn't there. The only way I knew how to fix it was to add the link to the title... so click there :)

New 9-11 Video
NYPD Helicopter video of 9/11 attack surfaces
By Liz Goodwin
A newly released video shows the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack from the vantage point of a NYPD helicopter.
According to Gawker, the National Institute of Standards and Technology requested the 17-minute video through the Freedom of Information Act, and the video was sent anonymously to the secret-sharing website Cryptome, which posted it. The Institute investigated the 9/11 attacks.
A warning to readers: The video, posted below, is difficult to watch--and voices on the soundtrack can be heard cursing as the horrific attack unfolds.

Chica mi Gata
Everyone, meet the newest addition to my family - Chica mi Gata. She's 12 weeks old, born 10/22/2010, and is a full-bred Maine Coon. Mamma is black, Daddy is vivid tabby and both are large cats. BooBoo is 5, he's of unknown pedigree, and they appear to be adjusting to one another just fine :)

Martin Luther King Day Bomb in Spokane
Click here for video.
SEATTLETIMES.COM - A bomb left along the route of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade was sophisticated, with a remote detonator and the ability to cause many casualties, an official familiar with the case said Wednesday.
The bomb, which was defused without incident on Monday, was the most potentially destructive he had ever seen, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to release information about the investigation.
"They haven't seen anything like this in this country," the official said. "This was the worst device, and most intentional device, I've ever seen."
The FBI on Wednesday declined to reveal any details about the bomb, which was spotted by three city employees about an hour before the downtown parade was to start, said Frank Harrill, special agent in charge of the Spokane office. The employees looked inside, saw wires and immediately alerted law enforcement, and the parade was rerouted.
The FBI received no warnings in advance and does not have a suspect, Harrill said. No one has claimed responsibility for planting the bomb.
The discovery before the parade for the slain civil rights leader raised the possibility of a racial motive in a region that has been home to the white supremacist Aryan Nations
"The confluence of the holiday, the march and the device is inescapable, but we are not at the point where we can draw any particular motive," Harrill said.
The Spokane region and adjacent northern Idaho have had numerous incidents of anti-government and white supremacist activity during the past three decades.
The most visible was by the Aryan Nations, whose leader Richard Butler gathered racists and anti-Semites at his compound for two decades. Butler was bankrupted and lost the compound in a civil lawsuit in 2000 and died in 2004.
In December, a man in Hayden, Idaho, built a snowman on his front lawn shaped like a member of the Ku Klux Klan holding a noose. The man knocked the pointy-headed snowman down after getting a visit from sheriff's deputies.
Harrill called the planting of the bomb an act of domestic terrorism that was clearly designed to advance a political or social agenda.
"The potential for injury and death were clearly present," he said of the bomb.
The FBI has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the bomber.

Just a Little Snow...
No big deal, love how it covers up everything around town that's ugly. Laughing at all the folks with their front-wheel-drives and fancy SUVs who can't make it around in this little bit of snow... pathetic, I say. But that's just a snowflake of my cynicism toward people in today's world, all pun intended. Oh well... the other side of me feels great joy when I see neighbors shoveling and snowblowing for each other, and strangers helping to free vehicles stuck in the snow. So... it's not all bad, not at all :)
