Top 40 Suzanne Collins Quotes
"Telling a story in a futuristic world gives you this freedom to explore things that bother you in contemporary times."
― Suzanne Collins
"I don't write about adolescence. I write about war. For adolescents."
"When I got out of undergrad, I had a degree in theater and telecommunications. My first job, I was a news reporter for the local stories for NPR. Then I was a country-western DJ. I did data entry for a yearbook company. In my mid-20s I went back to grad school at NYU, and I specialized in playwriting."
"If your parent is deployed and you are that young, you spend the whole time wondering where they are and waiting for them to come home. As time passes and the absence is longer and longer, you become more and more concerned – but you don't really have the words to express your concern. There's only this continued absence."
"I think people respond to dystopian stories because they're ways of acting out anxieties that we have and fears that we have about the future. So much media's coming at you over the Internet, your brain gets overloaded. You don't know what to do with it. And one thing you can do with it is read a story."
"In 'The Hunger Games,' in most people's idea, in terms of rebellion or a civil-war situation, that would meet the criteria for a necessary war. These people are oppressed, their children are being taken off and put in gladiator games. They're impoverished, they're starving, they're brutalized."
"It's embarrassing to admit how many times I've reread the following: 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,' '1984,' 'Lord of the Flies,' 'The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter,' 'Germinal,' 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle,' and 'A Moveable Feast.'"
"I started as a playwright. Any sort of scriptwriting you do helps you hone your story. You have the same demands of creating a plot, developing relatable characters and keeping your audience invested in your story. My books are basically structured like three-act plays."
"One of the reasons it's important for me to write about war is I really think that the concept of war, the specifics of war, the nature of war, the ethical ambiguities of war, are introduced too late to children. I think they can hear them, understand them, know about them, at a much younger age without being scared to death by the stories."
"I think it's very uncomfortable for people to talk to children about war, and so they don't because it's easier not to. But then you have young people at eighteen who are enlisting in the army, and they really don't have the slightest idea what they're getting into."
"I try to catch flies in cups and put them outside. After I wrote 'The Underland Chronicles'… well, once you start naming cockroaches, you lose your edge."
"If I have to pick one story that most influenced 'The Hunger Games,' it would be the Greek myth of Theseus, which I read when I was about 8 years old. In punishment for past deeds, Athens periodically had to send seven youths and seven maidens to a labyrinth. In the maze was this Minotaur, and it would eat them."
"Whenever I write a story, I hope it appeals to both boys and girls."
"When I was young, I was trained in stage fighting and rapier and dagger for several years."
"Director Gary Ross has created an adaptation that is faithful in both narrative and theme, but he's also brought a rich and powerful vision of Panem, its brutality and excesses, to the film as well. His world building's fantastic, whether it be the Seam or the Capitol."
"It's amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers."
"The cast, led by the extraordinary Jennifer Lawrence, is absolutely wonderful across the board. It's such a pleasure to see how they've embodied the characters and brought them to life."
"I'm not a very fancy person. I've been a writer a long time, and right now 'The Hunger Games' is getting a lot of focus. It'll pass. The focus will be on something else. It'll shift. It always does. And that seems just fine."
"I've just had the opportunity to see the finished film of 'The Hunger Games.' I'm really happy with how it turned out. I feel like the book and the film are individual yet complementary pieces that enhance one another."
"The film opens up the world beyond Katniss' point of view, allowing the audience access to the happenings of places like the Hunger Games control room and President Snow's rose garden, thereby adding a new dimension to the story."
"One of the most memorable things I hear is when someone tells me that my books got a reluctant reader to read."
"Kids have so much screen time, and it's a concern. I know how overloaded I can feel sometimes."
"I think we put our children at an enormous disadvantage by not educating them in war, by not letting them understand about it at an early age."
"My father was career military. He was a veteran, he was a doctor of political science, he taught at West Point and Air Command Staff and lectured at the War College."
"If I took the 40 years of my dad talking to me about war and battles and taking me to battlefields and distilled it down into one question, it would probably be the idea of the necessary or unnecessary war."
"'The Underland Chronicles' is an unnecessary war for a very long time until it becomes a necessary war, because there have been all these points where people could have gotten off the train but they didn't; they just kept moving the violence forward until it's gone out of control."
"I have a pretty big TV background, and I have clocked so many hours in so many writers' rooms over the years."
"Any time you read a book and get attached to the characters, to me it's always a shock when it goes from page to screen and it's not exactly what was in my head or what I was imagining it should be."
"All the writing elements are the same. You need to tell a good story… You've got good characters… People think there's some dramatic difference between writing 'Little Bear' and the 'Hunger Games,' and as a writer, for me, there isn't."
"In high school for a couple years we did archery."
"I'm not comfortable around cameras."
"I wrote 'The Hunger Games' in a chair, like a La-Z-Boy chair, next to my bed. I had an office, but my kids sort of took it over."
"There's a basis for the war, historically, in the 'Hunger Games,' which would be the third servile war, which was Spartacus' war, where you have a man who is a slave who is then turned into a gladiator who broke out of the gladiator school and led a rebellion and then became the face of the war."
"'Lord of the Flies' is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager; I still read it every couple of years."
"I loved 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.' I read it later as an adult, but I loved 'We Have Always Lived in a Castle.' And that brings you around to 'The Lottery.' You can't pretend – it's a lottery in which you draw a name and people die. That's a short story, but it's such an incredible short story."
"My mother tried really hard to protect us, but occasionally, after afternoon cartoons of whatever was on… the nightly news would come on, and I'd see footage from the war zone, and I would hear the word 'Vietnam,' and I would know my dad was over there, and it was a very frightening experience for me."
"I sort of half read Thomas Hardy's 'The Mayor of Casterbridge.' It was assigned in 10th grade, and I just couldn't get into it. About seven years later, I rediscovered Hardy and consumed four of his novels in a row."
"Katniss Everdeen owes her last name to Bathsheba Everdene, the lead character in 'Far From the Madding Crowd.' The two are very different, but both struggle with knowing their hearts."
"I'm thrilled with the work Tim Palen and his marketing team have done on the film. It's appropriately disturbing and thought-provoking how the campaign promotes 'Catching Fire' while simultaneously promoting the Capitol's punitive forms of entertainment."
"Both the 'Gregor' series and 'The Hunger Games' are what I call lightning-bolt ideas. There was a moment where the idea came to me. With 'The Hunger Games,' the lightning bolt sort of hit at a moment when I was channel surfing between reality TV and the coverage of the Iraq war."

Nate Logemann has dreamed of being a Division I athlete since the third grade. When the 6'1", 265 lb. lineman realized he was too small to play college football, he chose a different sport. These days, the Cheyenne East alum is living the dream as a male cheerleader at the University of Wyoming.
"It's a blast," Logemann told us last night before the UW Spirit Squad performed at Cheyenne Frontier Days. "We get to travel with the team everywhere. We went to Boise for the bowl game, we went to Vegas for the basketball tournament. It's always fun."
Logemann is one of 15 men and 27 women cheerleaders at the University of Wyoming. As much as he loves his teammates, he considers his parents to be his favorite cheerleaders. The UW sophomore also encouraged other men to participate in the sport.
"Don't let people make fun of you for it," he said. "People won't give you as much crap as you think."

Though Suze knows how crazy her situation is, she cannot help how she feels about Jesse. Suze's situation is worsened when she goes back to school after the summer break to find that Paul Slater is now a student there. In her last adventure Suze discovered that Paul was a mediator like herself, though he has no interest in helping the dead. He seems to have another agenda altogether, and he is not afraid to do violence so that he can get what he wants. A ruthless and heartless individual, Paul seems to have powers that Suze can only guess at.
Paul determinedly pursues Suze and none of her rejections seem to work. She cannot help being at least slightly attracted to the young man, and finally she agrees to go to his house so that he can show her what he knows about mediators. This is a huge mistake, and what is already a bad situation only gets worse with every passing day.
In this delightful romantic thriller Meg Cabot once again takes her main character on an exciting adventure that includes: dealing with annoying family members, trying to manage good looking boys who like her, and trying to control the behavior of ghosts that have an attitude problem. Readers who have enjoyed the pervious mediator titles will not be disappointed when they join Suze in this adventure.

Paul Poiret or Exotic 'Parisian' Nights
'…a couturier who employed the language of orientalism to develop the romantic and theatrical possibilities of clothing.'
One of my favourite fashion designers – Paul Poiret, was born on the 20. April 1879. in Paris. His innovative designs changed fashion landscape of the early 20. century. He was cunning, cheeky and radical.
He first worked as an umbrella maker – a job his parents forced him to do in an attempt to deprive him from his natural pride. There he collected scraps of silk left over and created dresses for a doll his sister had given him. His career started when he showed Madame Cheruit, a prominent Parisian fashion designer, his designs. She liked his work and bought the designs.
He continued to sell his designs until he was hired by Jacques Doucet in 1896. Poiret designed a red cloth cape for the House of Doucet which sold 400 copies. He later worked for the House of Worth, but his experimental and provocative designs found no place in this Victorian fashion house. Even the customers were shocked when he presented them his designs.
Ahead of his time, he opened his own fashion house in 1903. with the help of Rejane, famous actress of the time. His first noticeable design was a kimono-coat. Poiret, a Picasso of the fashion world had a dramatic flair for exotic and opulent designs. His vivid greens, royal blues and brilliant reds soon replaced the soft, pastel colour palette so favoured by Edwardian ladies and Callot sisters, a rival fashion designers. In four years, Poiret had Paris at his feet.
Far away and exotic countries such as Japan and Turkey served as his main inspiration and he soon presented his clientele with harem pants, turbans, hobble skirts and kimono-like jackets. As living pieces of art, his dresses were composed of rich materials, intriguing details, abundance of beads, a hint of crispy velvet and coated in exotic flair. He liberated women from their tight corsets – a legacy of Victorian times, but captivated them in hobble skirts preventing them from taking big steps. However, corset was far more popular than hobble skirt ever was.
Poiret had an amazing sense for marketing and he attracted, not only his clients, but all of Paris by designing flamboyant window displays that caught every bodies attention. His grand soirees, luxurious parties and costume balls became well known. For one of his costume balls, held on 24. June 1911. 'The Thousand and Second Night' (based on The Arabian Nights) he ordered his 300 guests to dress in Oriental clothing. Guests who disregarded his instruction were asked to either leave or to dress in one of his Persian costumes.
He was the first fashion designer ever to launch a fragrant connected to the fashion house named 'Parfums de Rosine' after his daughter. Inovative and ahead of his time, he started fashion photography in 1911. when Edward Steichen took photographs of models dressed in Poiret's dresses.
Besides exotic world, Poiret had a living inspiration – his wife Denise. Denise, slender and youthful provincial girl, was Poiret's muse and a prototype of la garconne (flapper girl). They met in 1905. and had five children together, including two daughters who became inspirations for his perfumes. Poiret said of his wife "My wife is the inspiration for all my creations; she is the expression of all my ideals."
After The First World War many fashion houses reopened but client's tastes have changed. Fashion designers like Coco Chanel presented simple, sleek clothes that were cheap and practical. Poiret's Arabian Nights exotic avant-garde designs found no refuge in post-war society. His theatrical, opulent, piece-of-art dresses were long forgotten.
New society, new fashion had no place for Poiret. In 1944, when he died, his glorious days, separated by two wars, had been forgotten. His friend and a fashion designer, Elsa Schiaparelli helped to prevent his name from falling into oblivion. She was the one to pay for his burial.

Dieters left shell-shocked by five-stone, 168,540-calorie, Easter egg
By JULIAN GAVAGHAN
Last updated at 13:39 10 March 2008
A monster five-stone Easter egg has gone on sale… leaving dieters shell shocked.
The solid chocolate treat is the height of a nine-year-old and could be melted down to make more than 635 standard bars.
And with a whopping 168,540 calories – the recommended limit for 84 days - it won't win any fans at Weight Watchers.
Scroll down for more...
Egg-stra large: The 70lb Easter treat is made from solid chocolate and costs £499 at Selfridges
Six choclatiers from L'Artisan du Chocolat spent four days making the sweet on sale for an equally hefty £499.
It is studded with hundreds of sugar diamonds and has round-the-clock security at Selfridges in London.
Four of the eggs have already been ordered, with vans ready to help with deliveries, bosses said.
The store's Ewan Venters: "The egg is the heaviest egg we have ever had here and is perfect for anyone planning a big party with family and friends this Easter.
"The egg has been made by a team of chocolatiers who are passionate about luxury chocolate and so it really does taste as good as it looks."
"And there is certainly enough to go round."
But the egg is dwarfed by the biggest ever - a 27ft tall chocolate creation weighing 307 stone – made in Sint Niklaas, Belgium.

An Alternative 9-11 Scenario
Parts 1, 2 & 3
by A. K. Dewdney
PART 2 INTRODUCTION
Release Version 1.4; December 5th 2002
PLEASE NOTE: THIS ARTICLE WILL BE
RETAINED ON FERAL NEWS, FOR THE TIME
BEING,, FOR 'ARCHIVAL' PURPOSES - BUT
HAS BEEN SUPERCEDED BY A NEW 9/11
HYPOTHESIS: OPERATION PEARL.
OPERATION PEARL, ALSO BY DR A.K.
DEWDNEY, CAN BE READ ON THE NEWLY-
LAUNCHED WEBSITE:
- Oct 2oth 2003
Virtual phone calls (cont. from Part 1)
The following analysis of the actual calls is based on text assembled by four reporters of
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. [Roddy et al. 2001] The calls were mostly rather brief and it
must be borne in mind that, with the exception of two recorded messages, the persons
called would not necessarily recollect the exact words which either they or the caller used.
Following a delay in its scheduled departure time of 8:01 am, Flight 93 reached its
cruising altitude of approximately 30,000 feet about 40 minutes into the flight. At about
this time the INS/autopilot would have been engaged. And at about this time, the aircraft
was "hijacked," according to several cellphone calls.
CALL A1: A man claiming to be Tom Burnett called his wife Deena in San Ramon, CA
around 9:20 to Deena's best recollection:
Deena: "Are you alright?"
Caller: "No. I'm on United Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco. The plane was
hijacked. We are in the air. They've already knifed a guy. There is a bomb on board. Call
the FBI."
CALL B: Just before 9:30 am, a man claiming to be Jeremy Glick called Lyz Glick, who
was visiting in-laws in the Catskills of New York state. The phone was answered by Glick's
mother-in-law, JoAnne Makely:
JoAnne: "Jeremy. Thank God. We're so worried."
Caller: "It's bad news. Is Liz there?"
The caller went on to describe Arabic-looking hijackers wearing red headbands and
carrying knives. One had told the passengers he had a bomb. The caller asked if it was true
that planes had been crashed into the World Trade Center. She confirmed this. The caller
mentioned that another passenger had heard the news on his/her cell phone.
CALL A2: The man claiming to be Tom Burnett called Deena Burnett again around 9:30
am. As Deena later described his call, "He didn't sound frightened, but he was speaking
faster than he normally would." He told her there were hijackers in the cockpit.
Deena: "A lot of planes have been hijacked, but they don't know how many."
Caller: "You've got to be kidding."
Deena: "No."
Caller: "Were they commercial planes or airliners?"
Deena: "I don't know."
Caller: "Okay. I've got to go."
CALL C: A man claiming to be Mark Brigham called Brigham's sister-in-law, Cathy
Hoglan, who was being visited by Brigham's mother, Alice. Cathy took the call and handed
the phone to Alice with the remark, "Alice, talk to Mark. He's been hijacked."
Caller: "Mom? This is Mark Brigham." (Alice Brigham accounts for this strange
announcement as due to her son being flustered.)
Caller: "I want you to know that I love you. I'm on a flight from Newark to San Francisco
and there are three guys who have taken over the plane and they say they have a bomb."
Alice: "Who are these guys?
Caller: (after a pause) "You believe me, don't you?
Caller: "Yes, Mark. I believe you. But who are these guys?
(After another pause the line went dead.)
CALL D: A man claiming to be Todd Beamer on a United Airlines airfone had some
trouble getting through to anyone but the Verizon customer service center, where the
operator relayed the call to Verizon supervisor, Lisa Jefferson at 9:45 am. (Verizon is a
large communications company that has the contract for airfones on United airlines
equipment.) The man told Jefferson that the plane had been hijacked, that he could see
three hijackers armed with knives, one of them claiming to have a bomb. He described
how the passengers had been herded to the rear of the aircraft, guarded by the one with
the bomb. He asked the supervisor to call the Beamer family on his behalf.
Caller: "Oh! We're going down. (pause) No. We're okay. I think we're turning around." (It
was approximately around this time that the flight, then passing near Cleveland, made a
hard left toward Washington, DC.)
CALL A3: The man claiming to be Tom Burnett called Deena Burnett again.
Deena: "They're taking airplanes and hitting landmarks all up and down the east coast."
Caller: "Okay. We're going to do something. I'll call you back."
CALL F1: At 9:47, the answering machine of Lorne Lyles recorded a call that he thought
was from his wife, CeeCee. The woman could be heard praying for herself, her family, and
even for the souls of the hijackers.
CALL B (cont'd.) State police, talking to Jeremy Glick's mother-in-law, asked her to relay
a question to Jeremy. Did he know where his plane was? He didn't know, but said they
had changed direction.
Caller: "I need you to be happy and I will respect any decisions that you make."
He told Ms Lyles that the passengers were about to take a vote on whether to take back the
aircraft. Should they try?
Lyz: "Honey, you need to do it." They spoke of weapons. The caller joked.
Caller: "I have my butter knife from breakfast."
CALL G: About this time, Phil Bradshaw, husband of flight attendant Sandy Bradshaw,
received a phone call from a woman who identified herself as his wife.
Caller: "Have you heard what's going on? My flight has been hijacked. My flight has been
hijacked by three guys with knives.
Phil asked her who was flying the plane.
Caller: "I don't know who's flying the plane or where we are. I see a river."
Bradshaw: "Be safe and come home soon."
The caller then explained that she had to go. She planned to prepare boiling water in the
galley -- to pour on the hijackers.
CALL H: Sometime after 9:30, Fred Fiumano received a call from someone claiming to
be his friend, Marion Britton. The caller was crying, stating that the plane had been
hijacked and that two passengers had already been killed. Fiumano tried to console his
friend, stating that the hijackers were probably going to take her for a ride. "You'll be
alright."
CALL I: Jack Grandcolas in San Rafael, CA, received a call from a woman claiming to be
Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, his wife. The message, as recorded on his answering machine,
was short:
Caller: "Sweetie, pick up the phone if you can hear me. (pause) Okay, I love you. There's a
little problem with the plane. I'm fine and comfortable for now..."
She asked Jack to pass along her love for everyone, then passed the airfone to her
seat-mate.
Caller: "Now you call your people."
CALL J: Esther Heymann received a call from a woman claiming to be her stepdaughter,
Honor Elizabeth Wainio, also Grandcolas' seat-mate.
Caller: "Mom, we're being hijacked. I just called to say good bye."
Heymann: "Elizabeth, we don't know how this is going to turn out. I've got my arms
around you."
Wainio said she could feel them.
Heymann: "Let's look out at that beautiful blue sky. Let's be here in the moment. Let's do
some deep breathing together." (pause)
Caller: "It hurts me that it's going to be so much harder for you than it is for me."
CALL A4: Once again, just before 10:00 am, Deena Burnett received a fourth phone call.
Caller: "A group of us are going to do something."
Deena: "No, Tom. Just sit down and don't draw attention to yourself."
Caller: "Deena, if they're going to crash the plane into the ground, we have to do
something. We can't wait for the authorities. We have to do something now."
Caller: "Pray. Just pray, Deena. We're going to do something."
CALL D (cont'd): The caller who had identified himself as Todd Beamer appears to have
remained connected with Lisa Jefferson, the Verizon supervisor, almost to the end of the
flight. At this point the caller was reciting the 23rd Psalm from the Bible
CALL F2: The caller identifying herself as CeeCee Lyles finally got through to Lorne
Lyles.
Caller: "Babe, my plane's been hijacked."
Lyles: "Huh? Stop joking.
Caller: "No Babe, I wouldn't joke like that. I love you. Tell the boys I love them."
As the couple prayed together, Lorne heard sounds that he would later interpret as
passengers preparing a counter-attack.
Caller: They're going to force their way into the cockpit."
CALL D (cont'd): Having finished his prayer session with Lisa Jefferson, the caller
claiming to be Todd Beamer left the phone connected. Jefferson recalls hearing the now
famous rallying cry.
Caller: "Are you guys ready? Let's roll."
CALL J (cont'd): Esther Heymann, who believed herself to be talking with her step
daughter, heard her last words.
Caller: I need to go. They're getting ready to break into the cockpit. I love you. Goodbye."
CALL G (cont'd): Phil Bradshaw heard his caller's last words to him.
Caller: "Everyone's running to first class. I've got to go. Bye."
CALL F2 (cont'd): Lorne Lyles recalls hearing the last moments of Flight 93.
Caller: (screams) "They're doing it! They're doing it! They're doing it!
The caller screamed again, said something he couldn't hear, then the line went dead.
Operational details
How on Earth could any organization fake the calls I have just described? In the middle of
writing this very sentence, I was interrupted by someone calling through the back door of
our porch: "Is anybody home?" It was my son who was visiting us from out of town. He
had been out with some old friends. I went out to the back porch to greet him.
It wasn't my son at all, but the neighbor next door wanting to borrow our ladder. I
marveled that I could have mistaken his voice for that of my son. It has a different timbre
and tone, yet the context of expectation over-rode my ability to discriminate sounds. This
example proves nothing, of course, but it illustrates a fact that has been used by
spiritualists and mediums to beguile clients for hundreds of years. Forlorn people, hoping
to contact a deceased loved one, would typically report satisfaction with a seance. "I swear,
it was my son. There was no mistaking that sweet little voice." The context leads the
recipient of such a message actually to hear the loved one. Of course, the tone of voice
must be approximately correct. In the case at hand, persons faking the calls would have
the further advantage of electronic fuzzing, the tendency for audio lines with very low
bandwidth to transmit the human voice somewhat imperfectly. In addition, extreme
emotional stress alters the human voice even more markedly, causing the person
addressed to make unconscious allowances.
To obtain names and relevant personal data, operatives would have taken the flights in
question several times before September 11, engaging fellow passengers in friendly
conversation: "Take this flight often?" It would not take very long to build a file of names,
secretly recorded voices, and a host of more or less intimate details from the lives of
passengers. The ultimate list might run to several dozen passengers, not all of whom
would be on Flight 93 the fateful morning of September 11.
Meanwhile, a script has been written to portray a sequence of events. The backbone of the
script, a timeline running from the moment of sarin/INS insertion up to the point of
impact, would consist of a sequence of pseudo-events such as the first appearance of the
hijackers, their announcement, scuffles with passengers, the back-of-the-plane strategy
session, and the final rush to the cockpit. It would also include real events such as the
aircraft's turn mentioned in Call D.
Imagine then an operations room (of which every intelligence agaency has several) with a
screen on which the events appear as text, keeping all operatives on the same page, so to
speak. An operations director would have much the same role as a symphony conductor,
cueing various operators as the script unfolds. An audio engineer would have several tapes
already made in a sound studio. The tapes, which portray mumbled conferences among
passengers or muffled struggles, replete with shouts and curses, can be played over any of
the phone lines, as determined by the script, or simply fed as ambient sound into the
control room. Trained operators with headsets make the actual calls. Each operator has
studied tapes for several of the individuals, as recorded on prior occasions of Flight 93, as
well as profiles of the individuals, including a great deal of personal information, some of
it obtained "on the ground," as they say. As soon as the passenger lists become available,
each operator scans his or her own copy, searching for the names that he or she will
specialize in, discarding the rest.
The introductory sentence, somewhat fuzzily transmitted, would carry the hook: "Honey,
we've been hijacked!" Thereafter, with the belief framework installed, a similar live voice
could react to questions, literally playing the situation by ear, but being sure to include
pertinent details such as "Arab-looking guys," "boxcutters," and all the rest. If the contact
has been made successfully in the operator's opinion, with the essential information
conveyed, it is always possible to terminate the call more or less gracefully, depending on
what portion of the script is under execution. "Okay. We're going to do something. I'll call
you back." Click.
Each operator has a voice that is somewhat similar to that of the person he or she is
pretending to be. It is not particularly difficult to do this. For example, it is far easier to
find someone with a voice that can be mistaken for mine (especially over a telephone line)
than it is to find someone who looks like me (even in a blurred photograph). Moreover,
most people can learn to mimic voices, an art well illustrated by comedians who mimic
well-known personalities.
Operators would have received general instructions about what do to in the course of a
call. Although each has been supplied with at least some "intimate" details of the target's
life, there would be techniques in place for temporizing or for avoiding long conversations
where basic lack of knowledge might threaten to become suddenly obvious, and so on.
Three such techniques are praying (from text, if necessary) (Calls D, F1, and J), crying (as
in call H), or discussing the other attacks (as in call A2 and B).
In the case at hand, Flight 93, various calls may now be examined as a consistency check.
First, it must be noted that the longest call was made by the person who identified himself
as Todd Beamer (Call D) to someone whom the real Todd Beamer did not know at all, Lisa
Jefferson, a Verizon supervisor. Among the shorter conversations were Calls B, A2 and D.
Early in Call B (Glick), the caller indicates that it is general knowledge among the
passengers that other aircraft have been hijacked that morning. Near the end of this
conversation, when the caller discusses possible actions against the hijackers, he makes a
joking remark:
This is strange because it implies that the caller had already finished breakfast, whereas
meals are not normally served until the aircraft reaches cruising altitude, about the time
that the alleged hijacking began.
In Call A2 (Burnett), Deena Burnett describes the other hijackings.
A2 Deena: "A lot of planes have been hijacked, but they don't know how many."
Here, the caller seems to be temporizing. Not only are hijackings of commercial (i. e.,
cargo) aircraft extremely rare events, the caller's apparent surprise contradicts the
implication of Call B (made earlier) that the other attacks were already general knowledge
among the passengers of Flight 93.
Call C, also short, may point to a possible fumble. Was one of the callers asleep at the
switch?
Caller: "Mom? This is Mark Brigham."
Alice Brigham attributed the strange introductory sentence to her son being flustered. But
if Mark chose his mother to call, over all other people in the world, would he be likely to
make such a mistake? Would thoughts of his mother not be uppermost in his mind, no
matter what happened in the passenger compartment? A caller can only make such a
mistake if he or she is thinking of something entirely unrelated to the reason for the call or
the person being called and that can hardly have been the case in the alleged
Instead of answering his mother's question, the caller seems uncertain. Mrs. Brigham has
just asked "Who are these guys?" and the caller answers with another question. Does she
believe his previous sentence? The caller, who may have lost confidence in the call,
terminates the conversation (possibly pounding his forehead in silent frustration).
Caller C never called back. Of the 13 phone calls allegedly made from the plane, four were
from one caller (A: Burnett), two were from another (F: Lyles), and the remaining seven
calls were not repeated. Non-repeated calls would thus represent final exits with either
flubbed results or a smooth performance. The repeated calls give continuity to the script,
as well as opportunities for myth-building. Here's Todd Beamer, known to friends (and
observers) as a kind of go-ahead, take-charge guy. Perfect. He will be the "reason,"
decided well in advance of September 11, why the plane crashes well short of the White
Caller D, the one alleged to be Todd Beamer, apparently had difficulty using his airfone.
This could be explained if the telephone used by the caller was not part of the Verizon
system. However, the caller could easily access the Verizon supervisory office over an
ordinary telephone, explaining that he had been trying to reach someone. Strangely
enough, caller D preferred to talk to Lisa Jefferson (asking her to call his loved ones for
him), even though he was about to die.
One other cellphone call bears mention. Barbara Olson, a well-known Washington lawyer
and, more recently, television political pundit, died aboard American Airlines Flight 77,
the aircraft which apparently struck the Pentagon building. News reports (San Diego, 01),
(BBC, 01), (Telegraph, 01) described two calls which Ms Olson made to her husband, Ted
Olson, Solicitor General of the United States. The caller said she had locked herself in the
lavatory and attempted to place the call to Mr. Olson ten times before the charges were
accepted. The first conversation, in which the caller said, "Can you believe this, we are
being hijacked," was cut short, for some reason. In a second attempt, the caller described
men with box-cutters overpowering the flight crew, then asked, "What do I tell the pilot to
do?"
The Olson call is neither less nor more mysterious than the calls previously analysed. In
this case it might be asked what advice Ted Olson could possibly have for the pilot (who
was allegedly at the back of the plane with the passengers).
The foregoing analyses certainly do not prove that the cellphone operation actually took
place. But they clearly demonstrate that all the conversations are consistent with such an
operation, along with a sprinkling of tantalizing clues that are more consistent with the
operation than actual in-flight calls. That is all one can hope for from such an analysis,
even if the alternate scenario is correct or approximately correct.
In any case, there are serious doubts that the calls could have been made from cruising
altitude or that they would not trigger cellphone network cascades at lower altitudes.
Interceptor reprise
If Flight 93 were hijacked by the alternate method outlined in this document, it may have
been deliberately crashed. This is easily achieved by the INS portion of the method.
Allegedly heading for the White House, the INS coordinates would be set for the
(preselected) point of impact in an empty Pennsylvania field. The point would lie on a line
pointng in the general direction of the White House. The aircraft's flight path would be a
long, shallow dive, producing a high-speed crash would be sure to leave an extensive
debris field.
Three F-16 fighters were apparently scrambled from a base in Langley, Virginia to shoot
down Flight 93. They were, by one estimate, about 14 minutes away from the aircraft
when it crashed. Such a late scramble would be guaranteed to miss.
In the case of all four flights it would be crucial, once such an automated hijacking was in
progress, that air force fighters not be deployed anywhere in their vicinity. As part of
operating procedure during such intercepts, pilots are instructed to inspect the aircraft
visually, including a look into the cockpit. Has the aircraft been hijacked? Under this
scenario, the pilot would see the flying officers slumped over in their seats -- and no guys
with dark beards.
Virtual Hijackers
One clue that the alleged terrorists are not everything they seem comes from the rather
deep gulf between the stereotype and the reality. We have already seen, in the case of Ziad
Jarrah, a young man who has no commitment to Islam, suddenly converted into a fiendish
hijacker. As far as religion goes, almost every hijacker has displayed the same troubling
discrepancy, as we shall see. At the same time, Jarrah earnestly wished to become an
aeronautical engineer. If Islam (or "Muslim fanatics") did not divert him from his chosen
course in life, who did? Perhaps no one.
Another puzzle is presented by Hani Hanjour, a small, shy lad who, throughout his teens
in Saudi Arabia, wanted nothing more than to be a flight attendant. Despite the fact that
Hanjour displayed little interest in his flying lessons, abandoning courses that he did not
flunk outright, he was the alleged pilot of American Airlines Flight 77 which crashed into
the Pentagon.
In 1998, Hanjour received a one-hour lesson after which, in the words of manager Wes
Fults, "He had only the barest understanding of what the instruments were there to do."
Yet by April 1999, by means that FAA officials refuse to discuss, Hanjour had obtained a
commercial pilots license, capping several years of trying. In April of 1996 he attended a
30-minute class at the Sierra Academy of Aeronautics in Oakland California, never to
return. The next month finds him in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he signed up for lessons at
CRM Flight Cockpit Resource Management. Hanjour left after three months with no
certificate. He returned one year later, stayed only a few weeks, then left again. Over the
next three years, Hanjour called the Scottsdale School seeking re-admision but was
rebuffed as having no pilot potential. In 1998 Hanjour enrolled at Sawyer Aviation in
Phoenix, Arizona. He attended a handful of sessions on the flight simulator, then
disappeared once again. (Goldstein et al., 2001)
In August of 2001, Hanjour arrived at the Freeway Airport in Bowie, Maryland. His
attempt to get himself checked out in a single-engine plane ended once more in failure.
Owing to his general incompetence, officials at Bowie refused to rent an aircraft to him.
(Goldstein et al., 2001) In view of the fact that Hanjour could not manage to fly single-
engine aircraft, it seems amazing that Hanjour piloted the Boeing passenger liner that hit
the Pentagon right on target.
The other major discrepancy between stereotype and reality in the case of the alleged 19
(or 20) hijackers is religion. Perhaps Hanjour was the most religious of the lot, having
been rather devout, according to his older brother, throughout his youth. Hanjour was
never observed flouting the rules of Islam openly, as several of his better-known
colleagues were. Some of the other alleged hijackers were observed drinking alcohol and
engaging in sexually promiscuous behaviour.
How could it be possible for more than a dozen "hijackers" to live in the United States for
more than a year, doing what the media have reported them to have done, and yet not be
hijackers at all? In this section. I will demonstrate how the men in question could have
carried out all the actions reported of them, yet be entirely innocent of any "terrorist"
activity. It all depends on what the men themselves thought they were doing. Presently, I
will sketch a "dirty trick" (one among many possibilities) that will provide an in-principle
answer this question.
First, it will be necessary to develop a list of the "19" alleged hijackers and to sort out some
of the confusion surrounding their names. A preliminary list furnishes us with 19 names
distributed among four aircraft:
United Airlines Flight 175 (WTC South Tower)
Marwan Al-Shehhi
Fayez Ahmed
Mohald Alshehri *
Hamza Alghamdi
Ahmed Alghamdi*
American Airlines Flight 11 (WTC North Tower)
Waleed M. Alshehri*
Wail Alshehri
Mohamed Atta
Abdulaziz Alomari*
Satam Al Suqami
American Airlines Flight 77 (Pentagon)
Khalid Al-Midhar
Majed Moqed
Nawaq Alhamzi
Salem Alhamzi
Hani Hanjour
United Airlines Flight 93 (Pennsylvania)
Ahmed Alhaznawi
Ahmed Alnami
Ziad Jarrah(i)
Saeed Alghamdi
Were there 20 "terrorists" and not 19? One Amer Kenfer was also alleged to be on United
Airlines Flight 175. Perhaps it doesn't matter, since five of the hijackers' names released by
the FBI to the media proved to be mistakes. Kenfer, along with four others listed below,
were identified by the FBI not only by name, but by occupation and birthdate. They all
turned out to be not only alive and well, but outraged that they had been identified as
"terrorists:"
Waleed Al Shehri (BBC, 2001)
Abdulaziz Al Omari (BBC, 2001)
Ahmed Ibrahim Al Ghamdi (Islam Online, 2001)
Fayez Mohammad al-Shehri (Islam Online 2001)
How could 25 percent of the hijackers be so misidentified? According to FBI sources,
Arabic names are easy to confuse with one another. But how does one confuse birth dates
and occupations? In more than one instance, the passports of these gentlemen had been
stolen sometime in the past (Telegraph, 2001). This fact is certainly consistent with the
alternate scenario, although the mainstream US media has opined that passports were
stolen by Al Qaida operatives prior to 2001. It is not clear why Al Qaida would carry out an
operation that would deflect blame onto other Arabs. What possible difference could it
make?
If the passports were, in fact, the incriminating element, then how would the FBI have
gotten hold of them? They would not have survived the crashes and must have been left
with rental vehicles. Such an explanation only strains our credulity even further. Were all
20 passports left in the rental vehicles? It is more reasonable to suppose that the FBI
obtained the information from another source.
Magic Carpet Air Services
Here is but one way that the trail left by the alleged hijackers could have been engineered
prior to Sept. 11: Each of the men who are alleged to have been in the United states prior
to the fateful day were lured there by promises of lucrative employment. Imagine a false
front operation called "Magic Carpet Air Services." Here is the sales pitch delivered by an
agent posing as a senior executive officer of a startup corporation by that name:
"We propose to call our new venture 'Magic Carpet Air Services.' Although it will operate
primarily as a high-speed executive jet service between major Middle Eastern cities and
beyond, it will also explore a variety of other opportunities, including specialized cargo
operations, agricultural spraying and other things that we are continuing to look into. We
need, at this point, a group of talented gentlemen like yourselves to form the managerial
core of the company. Other managers and staff will be recruited later, but we need a core
staff and you gentlemen will have the inside track. In the months to come, you will be
given every opportunity to display the kind of initiative and imagination that we are
looking for. You will be paid, of course, and paid generously. But those of you who survive
the training period will find yourselves paid far better, once we launch the enterprise.
"You will all attend a variety of training sessions, including flight training, in order to
familiarize yourselves with the various operations of the proposed air services. By no
means will you achieve professional levels but we want you to understand the various
operations of our proposed company. It is well known that managerial staff with some
hands-on experience make better decisions than those without it. We will also require that
you set a good example for the employees to follow by encouraging good health habits,
eating sensibly, getting lots of sleep, and working out regularly.
"Now I must ask, for reasons of corporate security, not to discuss the company or its goals
with anyone, including friends and relatives. We want to be in position to get the jump on
our competitors, once we have begun operations."
Since only nine of the alleged 19 hijackers left paper trails, the training scenario may apply
only to the nine persons. The operation would have commenced no later than early 1999,
the time when the paper trail begins. Of particular interest are the public activities of
Mohamed Atta, as remembered by several different witnesses in 2000. In mid-March of
that year, he moved into the apartment of Amanda Keller, a woman of dubious virtue with
hair dyed a bright pink. Keller can no longer be located. (MCMN, 2002b) Between the end
of April and the third week of May, Johnette Bryant, a Dept. of Agriculture loan officer,
states that Atta applied for a USDA loan to buy a crop duster. (MCMN, 2002b) The FBI
has vehemently denied both allegations, possibly because Atta was supposed to be still in
Hamburg, recruiting potential suicide pilots such as Ziad Jarrah.
The official timeline has Atta arriving in the US on June 3, 2000. Previously bearded, Atta
had shaved his face clean. In July of 2000, Atta and Marwan AlShehhi enrolled at
Huffman Aviation in Venice, Florida, while Nawaq Alhamzi and Khalid Al-Midhar began
flight training in San Diego, California. (ABC, 2001) The latter pair terminated training
early, owing to problems with English. They are alleged to have gone to Arizona for more
training. In Florida, where most of the trainees lived, several may have tried to follow the
health advice of the "executive" by regularly attending the World Gym in Boynton Beach,
Florida. They showed little enthusiasm for the workouts, however. "Waleed Al-Shehri,
Wail Alshri, and Satam Al-Suqami simply clustered around a small circuit of machines,
never asking for help . . . never pushing any weights." Atta, on the other hand, worked out
very hard. (Golden & Moss, 2002)
At Huffman Aviation, where Atta and Al-Shehhi were enrolled for flight training, they
apparently told the director that they would be working in the United Arab Emirates. They
obtained their pilots licenses on December 21, 2000. On December 29 of that year, both
men took three hours training each on a Boeing 727 flight simulator in Opa-locka near
Miami.
The alleged hijackers, notably Atta, left a well-marked trail involving witness memories,
video surveillance tapes, car rental records, and so on. Those in charge of the Magic
Carpet operation would know the movements of their charges, later greatly facilitating the
FBI investigation by being able to suggest specific venues where records would be
available. The movements of Atta, for example, are now known through a few scattered
records. (ABC, 2001) They are consistent not only with a terrorist planning a hugely
ambitious attack on the United States, but with an earnest dupe (of relatively low morals)
keen on earning the huge salary promised by Magic Carpet Air Services.

Blood sugar spikes can have negative consequences, such as severe fatigue after eating a meal. You might also experience blurry vision. Over time, if blood sugar spikes continue – it can lead to more serious health conditions including diabetes and heart disease. Learn how to reduce your risk of blood sugar spikes.
Sugar, or carbohydrates, are broken down quickly and provide quick, immediate energy. When we eat, the sugars in our meal cause our blood sugar to spike and the body reacts to this by producing high levels of insulin. When this happens too often it can result in type-2 diabetes – a very dangerous disease. Over 29 million people in the United States have diabetes, with over 80 million in a state of pre-diabetes.
Plan Meals – By planning lean and healthy meals filled with protein, we are less likely to eat high-glycemic (high-sugar) foods that cause blood spikes. Natural Wellness' UltraNourish shake is a great way to plan ahead. Plus, its 850 mg proprietary Cardiovascular Support Blend helps promote healthy blood sugar levels.
Exercise – 30 minutes of exercise at least five days per week has been shown to aid in regulating blood sugar levels.
Protein – Include lean protein in each meal and snack as it releases energy more slowly, reducing extreme highs and lows in blood sugar and giving us sustained energy.
Avoid Sugar – Avoid foods high in sugar and artificial sweeteners as this drives blood sugar spikes!
Eat Breakfast – Eating a breakfast that includes protein aids in regulating hormones throughout the body, including insulin's functions. This helps regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Cinnamon – Taking 500 mg two times daily is believed to increase insulin action and has been shown to improve hemoglobin A1C levels in the blood.
Glucocare® – This supplement contains several herbs that have traditionally been used to regulate blood sugar, including guggul for lipid regulating and immunomodulating properties, gymnema the "sugar destroyer," bitter melon, and licorice which aid in regulating blood sugar levels.
An important part of eating a healthy diet is managing our sugar intake, thereby avoiding the damaging effects of blood sugar spikes. Exercise, protein-rich foods and several herbs and supplements all aid in managing our blood sugar, making it a little easier to manage our health while juggling our busy lives.

It's monday and I have the post-party blues. This past weekend my baby girl had her very first birthday party. There was an abundance of pink, glitter, and red balloons. It was everything that a first birthday should be.
When it comes to throwing parties for the girls, I try to play super-mum and make everything myself. After all, hand-made is always better than store-bought, no? Everything that you see in the following pictures were either made by myself or my sister. I must also mention my mum who cooked two tables full of main dishes that I forgot to photograph (oops).
Seeing my two girls eyes light up that morning when they were greeted with hundreds of balloons and all the pretty food and decorations just made my day. It may have been my daughter's birthday but their giant grins were the best present I could ever receive. For anyone keen on planning their own party, full details at the bottom of the page.
- The gold fish scale feature wall was made from circles cut out of tissue paper then layered onto foam board. It may look impressive but it really took no more than three hours to make.
- Tissue paper pom poms are my go-to party decor. They're inexpensive, easy to make and looks great. Here's a great tutorial.
- The glitter bunting was made with scrapbook paper and ribbons. I lined each flag with doubled sided tape and then applied glitter. The tape ensures a neat and uniform edge.
- For the Happy Birthday garland, I first printed the words on the computer then traced and cut them out of thick stock paper. The rest is pretty straight forward, glue, glitter and string up.
- My wonderful sister (baker extraordinaire) kindly offered to bake the birthday cake. The bottom tier is a classic chiffon and cream cake. The chiffon was baked in three layers of different shades creating an ombre effect. The top tier was intended to be a smash cake for the birthday girl. The ruffles along with the cake toppers were all made from fondant.
- My sister also made the gorgeous macaron cupcakes. Funny story, we actually started off with 150 macarons but after consuming almost the entire batch we had to use the remaining 15 as cupcake toppers.
- One of my favourite ways to serve strawberries is with a little drizzle of balsamic reduction. You can find the recipe here in a previous blog post.
- These donut brownies were inspired by a similar milk and cookies display I saw on Pinterest. I used mini donut pans to bake my brownies in but you could easily use a bit of foil for the same effect.
- Luckily for me, pavlovas are readily available at the supermarket in all shapes and sizes here in Australia. All I needed to do was add a spoonful of double cream and a drizzle of passionfruit syrup. But if you're interested in making your own pav, I have a great recipe here.
- No-bake cheesecakes are a fast and easy alternative to your regular baked cheesecake. Plus with this method you can go crazy with presentation. The white chocolate shards on the cheesecake have edible glitter and crushed macarons set in them.
- Store bought shortbread is a lot less fragile than homemade which makes them much better as party food. Here I paired it with David Lebovitz chocolate fudge sauce. See here for a homemade version.
- The quintessential party food, fairy bread. No further explanation necessary.
Wow. This is amazing! I don't think my wedding was as nicely decorated as this...haha.

The Case of the Quake Cheats
The open-source community got a lump of coal in its Yule 1999 stocking from renowned hacker John Carmack, the genius behind id Software and such games as Castle Wolfenstein, Doom, and the Quake series. Carmack's .plan file noted a problem that has swiftly emerged since the Quake 1 source was released under GPL; it seems that some people have used their ability to modify the Quake client as a mechanism for cheating....
The open-source community got a lump of coal in its Yule 1999 stocking from renowned hacker John Carmack, the genius behind id Software and such games as Castle Wolfenstein, Doom, and the Quake series. Carmack's .plan file noted a problem that has swiftly emerged since the Quake 1 source was released under GPL; it seems that some people have used their ability to modify the Quake client as a mechanism for cheating.
This may at first sight seem a trivial issue -- who cares if a few testosterone-pumped teenagers cheat at a shoot-em-up game? But in today's internetworked world, countermeasures against Quake cheating arguably provide an important laboratory model for cases that are decidedly not trivial, such as electronic commerce, securities trading, and banking.
The Quake model is made particularly relevant by its open-source connection. Open source advocates (including me) have been making a strong argument over the last two years that open-source software such as Linux and Apache is fundamentally more secure than its closed-source competitors. Cryptographers have long understood that no encryption system can really be considered well-tested until it has been energetically and repeatedly attacked by experts who have full knowledge of the algorithms it uses. Open-source advocates argue that there is nothing special about cryptography but its high stakes -- that, in general, open peer review is the only road to systems which are not merely accidentally secure by obscurity, but robustly secure by design.
Carmack, therefore, caused a bit of a flutter on Slashdot when he went on to to suggest that only a pair of closed-source encryption programs could solve the Quake-cheating problem. The problem, as he correctly pointed out, is that asking the open-source client to verify its own correctness won't work; a sufficiently clever cracker could always write a client that would simulate the right kinds of responses and then cheat.
The serious "more information" cheats depend on a performance hack. In order to hold down the number of updates of the Quake world it has to pass to the client, the server gives the client information about the location of objects and opponents that the player can't yet see, but might be able to see before the next update. The server then counts on the client not to make those things visible until they "should" be (e.g, until the user gets to a particular location in the maze the client is simulating). A cheating client can reveal an opponent seconds before the player would turn the corner and expose himself to fire.
The "more skillfully" cheats substitute the computer's speed and accuracy for tasks that the server and other players expect the player's hands and brain to be performing. Carmack talks about "aim bots" which automatically lock the player's gun onto visible opponents and fire it with inhuman accuracy.
And indeed it's hard to see how either of these sorts of cheats can be prevented given an open-source client and no way independent of the client itself to check that the client is honest. Thus Carmack's suggestion of a closed-source Quake-launcher program that would take a checksum of the client binary, communicate with the server to make sure the binary is on an approved list, and then handle communication with the server over a cryptographically-secured channel.
Carmack's argument seems watertight. What's wrong with this picture? Are we really looking at a demonstration that closed source is necessary for security? And if not, what can we learn about securing our systems from the Quake case?
I think one major lesson is simple. It's this: if you want a really secure system, you can't trade away security to get performance. Quake makes this trade by sending anticipatory information for the client to cache in order to lower its update rate. Carmack read this essay in draft and commented "With a sub-100 msec ping and extremely steady latency, it would be possible to force a synchronous update with no extra information at all, but in the world of 200-400 msec latency [and] low bandwidth modems, it just plain wouldn't work." So it may have been a necessary choice under the constraints for which Quake was designed, but it violates the first rule of good security design: minimum disclosure.
When you do that, you should expect to get cracked, whether your client is open or closed -- and, indeed, Carmack himself points out that the see-around-corners cheat can be implemented by a scanner proxy sitting between a closed client and the server and filtering communications from server to client.
Closing the source of the client may obscure the protocol between client and server, but that won't stop a clever cracker with a packet sniffer and too much time on his hands. Carmack confirms that even without the packet sniffer or access to source there are a variety of ways to flush out anticipatory information, ranging from tweaking the gamma and brightness on your screen to banish shadows to hacking your graphics card's device drivers to do transforms of the world model (such as making walls transparent).
We're back in familiar territory here; the history of computer security is littered with the metaphorical (and in some cases maybe literal) corpses of people who thought security through obscurity was sufficient. Crackers love that kind of naivete and prey on it ruthlessly.
The aim-bot cheat is trickier to prevent. The difference between human and aim-bot actions is measured only in milliseconds of timing. Changing the protocol to stop it from leaking information won't banish aim-bots; it would take the server doing statistical analysis of player action timings to even detect them, and (as Carmack points out) "that is an arms race that will end with skilled human players eventually getting identified as subtle bots."
Fortunately, the aim-bot cheat is also much less interesting from a general security point of view. It's hard to imagine anything but a twitch game in which the client user can cheat effectively by altering the millisecond-level timing of command packets. So the real lesson of both cheats may be that a closed-source program like Carmack's hypothetical secured program launcher is indeed a good idea for security -- but only if you're a hyperadrenalized space marine on a shooting spree.
(Any computer game at which computers are better than most humans has analogous cheats, some of which aren't even detectable in principle. Carmack observes "correspondence chess has been subverted from its original intent by players using computers." This isn't something security design can fix.)
If Quake had been designed to be open-source from the beginning, the performance hack that makes see-around-corners possible could never have been considered -- and either the design wouldn't have depended on millisecond packet timing at all, or aim-bot recognition would have been built in to the server from the beginning. This teaches our most important lesson -- that open source is the key to security because it changes the behavior of developers.
Open source keeps designers honest. By depriving them of the crutch of obscurity, it forces them towards using methods that are provably secure not only against known attacks but against all possible attacks by an intruder with full knowledge of the system and its source code. This is real security, the kind cryptographers and other professional paranoids respect.
It's the kind of security the Linux kernel and the Apache webserver have, and the kind people victimized by the Melissa and Chernobyl viruses and Back Orifice and the latest Microsoft-crack-of-the-week don't have. If you're betting your personal privacy or your business's critical functions on the integrity of software, it's the kind of security you want, too.
To recap, the real lessons of the Quake cheats are (a) never trust a client program to be honest, (b) you can't have real security if you trade it away to get performance, (c) real security comes not from obscurity but from minimum disclosure, and most importantly (d) only open source can force designers to use provably secure methods.
So, far from being a telling strike against open source, the case of the Quake cheats actually highlights the kinds of biases and subtle design errors that creep into software when it's designed for closed-source distribution and performance at the expense of security. These may be something we can live with in a shoot-em-up, but they're not tolerable in the running gears of the information economy. Avoiding them is, in fact, a good reason for software consumers to demand open source for anything more mission-critical than a Quake game.

For many of us, it reminds us of our common purpose of dedicating ourselves to work that can be quite satisfying when it all comes together, the way we knew it could, and hoped it would. It's always enjoyable to see good-looking, well thought out projects that survived the process. This year we were fortunate to have a jury member, Jack Franzen FAIA, presenting the awards and engaging the recipients with a particular question about some aspect of the project. Sometimes thought provoking, sometimes humorous, it was fun to hear the responses.
One of the themes that comes up year after year in the 'acceptance speeches' is a recognition of the caring clients, contractors, consultants, and comrades who have worked together to pull it off. Sure it's the politically correct thing to say, but the tone and sincerity of the delivery comes across as the heartfelt truth about the profession of Architecture. It really is about many participants executing an acknowledged design vision with a respectful blend of leadership and teamwork.
It is fitting that within our Chapter membership we include Architect, Associate, and Affiliate members who share in the process of delivering the skills and expertise that help make an award winning project. For a small state comprised of many small and medium sized architecture firms, we benefit from this inclusiveness, and continue to thrive as a Chapter even during the lean times of economic downturns. Over the past seven years we have managed to sustain our membership, and this year we are actually showing some modest growth. We are now 377 members strong with 211 licensed Architects, 20 Emeritus Architects, 31 Associate members, 97 Affiliate, and 18 Honorary members. We hope that those who share the values of creating a quality built environment will continue to attend the Chapter events, and participate in the programs and committees of our Chapter.
One of the other very important parts of our Chapter's success story is the dedication and fine work of our Executive Director, Carolyn Isaak, who has been in this position for 16 1/2 years – yes it does go by quickly. For the past six years of my participation on the Board of Directors, I can say that Carolyn has always carried out her multifaceted duties with a very high degree of professionalism and personable communications, and this has made it easy for the Board members to collaborate in fulfilling their responsibilities to the Chapter.
As Carolyn has made the decision to retire from her position this year at the end of September, we find ourselves beginning the process of looking for the right person to become our new Executive Director. As a Board we know that this is one of our most important challenges this year, and we expect to begin to advertise for the position this month. We are reaching out to the membership to let people know that we will be seeking to fill this position over the summer. If you know of any ideal candidates, let them know we are beginning this process.
As a Board we are extremely grateful for all of the great work Carolyn has provided over many years of service to AIANH. In addition to wishing her the very best in her transition to a less stressful day to day, we are happy to know that she has offered to help transition her multifaceted duties to our new Executive Director over a couple of months. This will allow for a smooth transition of our new Executive Director recruit.
So next year when our January celebration comes around again, we can only hope that Carolyn, Honorary AIANH, may still join us as at the Gala in the audience, tell us a few stories of her new adventures before dinner, and our NH Chapter will continue to thrive.

Building innovative workwear for one of the best tool companies in the world.
We began working with Milwaukee Tool in 2013, they reached out to us to see if we could help them construct heated workwear that was compatible with the M12 batteries that also are used in their power tools. It was our first time working with electronics, this required deconstructing their samples, and a discovery process with their team to troubleshoot how we could improve not only the design, but also the function as well. This has resulted in innovative new pieces launching them into the soft goods market, a fast growing and successful new category at Milwaukee Tool created by SY Design.
We spent a lot of time doing research together with the Milwaukee team learning in-depth about the specific needs for different types of trades, studying the competitive landscape, and utilizing our skills as innovative technical outdoor designers to bring new ideas into the workwear space. We are involved through the entire design and development process on this project. We started with concepts, moving to designs, tech packages, building prototypes and patterns, fitting, managing fabric and trim development, and working in coordination with their team until we were ready to hand-off a complete production ready package, with a fit approved prototype, a full tech package, and all fabrics and trims fully approved and ready for production.
M12™ Heated Gear™ and a new line of Work Gear™ created by SY Design for Milwaukee Tool.
The first concept sketches for this style are shown above, after a small amount of refining and adjusting to meet the clients needs we moved into the tech package, and from there pattern making and prototyping. At the very bottom you can see the final finished product and how close it resembles the very first concept sketch.

The public in a Philadelphia suburb continues to be upset after their efforts failed to stop a library from hosting a drag queen story hour featuring a drag queen named "Annie Christ." Community members say the event was hostile to Christianity in part because the performer's stage name is "Annie Christ," a play on words for AntiChrist. What is being called the "Drag Queen Story Fun Time with Annie" took place last Saturday at the Lansdale Public Library.
"Library branches in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania suburbs, and South Jersey have run similar events with drag queens since 2017; the Free Library of Philadelphia alone has hosted more than 50 of them, according to Andrew Nurkin, deputy director of enrichment and civic engagement. Currently, the Fumo Family Library Branch in South Philadelphia is hosting a series of drag-queen trivia nights, including one Feb. 13," Philly.com reported.
Another drag queen named "Brittany Lynn" is putting on an event at the Please Touch museum in Philadelphia. "We're not pushing any agenda. We're just giving a view of diversity and acceptance that isn't so heteronormative," the performer said.
Writing on his blog at The American Conservative, author Rod Dreher, who regularly documents how fringe sexuality has made inroads into the public domain, noted how outlandish the event seemed.
Drag queen "story hours" are spreading across America's cities.
"What kind of Christofascist could possibly imagine that there's an agenda present in these things? And I can't imagine why some folks in the Philly region are troubled by a public library hosting a children's story hour led by a drag queen named 'Annie Christ' (Antichrist — get it?)," he mused sarcastically.
In 2017, parents in Long Beach, California, also spoke out against the Drag Queen Story Hour when the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library hosted a drag queen named Xochi Mochi who dressed as a five-horned demon to read to children.

Many thanks to you and the guys for playing at my daughters wedding. The setting and weather combined with the great tunes made for a perfect day. Nearly all our guests spoke with me expressing how impressed they had been with your music. When my next two daughters tie the knot I would have no hesitation in booking you again!
I can honestly say that you really made the day for me personally. Just to hear you in the background was so lovely and provided exactly the atmosphere I was hoping to achieve.
"…we loved returning back to the Castle after the ceremony to the lovely sounds of the band…you are blessed with wonderful talents and we appreciate that you shared them with us".
"…your music suited the atmosphere perfectly and many of our family and friends have commented on how wonderful the trio were…thanks for a superb performance".
"Special thanks to the Trio for adding that extra sparkle to our event. We were looking for musicians that performed rather than entertainers and that's what we got. A superb group that will undoubtedly go from strength to strength".
"The Trio is a regular act on board The Royal Yacht Britannia, creating a wonderfully relaxed environment throughout the evening. They have the unique ability to make our guests unknowingly tap their toes and smile yet still remaining unobtrusive. They are extremely reliable and a pleasure to work with".
