America Betrayed trailer
From 9/11, to the war in Iraq, to the worst disaster in US history, the levee failures in Hurricane Katrina, America Betrayed follows the money, and the path leads straight back to the hallowed halls of Congress the profits straight into the pockets of those with ties to the Executive Branch. America Betrayed is the story of waste, fraud, and abuse at the very highest echelons of our federal government. Through interviews with Pulitzer Prize winning journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and TIME Magazine, to noted scientists from Berkeley and Harvard, to US Senators and Congressman, America Betrayed takes an in-depth look at just how our governments dirty little secrets have impeded an investigation into 9/11 and nearly ruined a great American cityNew Orleans. The gloves are off, and the inside story is being told, as longtime broadcast journalist and documentary filmmaker Leslie Cardé talks for the first time with insiders who know exactly how the game is played. From the contractors who built sub-standard structures in New Orleans and were told to keep quiet, to the whistleblowers who sacrificed their jobs to come forward and expose the cover-ups, cooked books, and cronyism nationwide within the Army Corps of Engineers, this film digs deep to unearth the truth. While scientists charged with investigating the Katrina disaster were intentionally led astray, journalists dug their heels in to get to the root of disaster capitalism,a …

Question by siddis: Logo on my laptop is slightly bent, design flaw?
I just noticed that my samsung x460 laptop has its logo printed bent. Its nothing major and cannot be noticed easily but I was just thinking if this is a flaw on my laptop can I be entitled to a new one? I have had it for about 2 months.
If I dont get one I am not bothered at all but just worth asking I guess.

Product Review HPE 87 (TKL Mechanical Keyboard Alt To Blackwidow TE, Filco, PLU, CM Quickfire)
A hands on user review of the HPE87. (Clone similar to PLU or Filco) This is a TKL (Ten Key Less) keyboard layout giving you extra space where the numberpad used to be. The keyboard is fully mechanical with Cherry MX switches. You can choose from MX Red, MX Black, MX Blue, and MX Brown switches. The switches are plate mounted witch makes the keyboard heavy and very robust. Build quality in and out is very high, no signs of a cheap product or any design flaws. Its a nice matte finish so it does not attract fingerprints. The Keycaps are standard ABS plastic and laser etched, this is standard for keyboards unless you pay a premium for PBT keys or other labeling methods. Since the keys are standard size & layout you CAN replace the keycaps with custom ones should you desire. How to get one? Easy you can order from here and they ship world wide! www.vendio.com This is a trusted store and where the very one I am reviewing came from, the owner of this shop is well known in the keyboard community at sites like GeekHack. I can very easily recommend this product as an alternative to any of the more well known brands, if you want to enter into the mechanical keyboard market without making a huge investment upfront this will be a safe way to do so. Hope you enjoyed the review, if you have any questions feel free to ask. PS Thumbs up to say thanks and subscribe if you want more content/reviews!

Why did the President cause that bridge to collapse?
Question by hardwoodrods: Why did the President cause that bridge to collapse?
In the video you can clearly see that he is responsible. If you play the video you can clearly see the bridge collapse back and to the left, back and to the left. And if you play the audio backwards you can her “Bush did this” Do I sound like them now? Should I buy Foil Stock?
At least some of you have a sense of humor and are not holyer than thou.

has anyone had problems with a trane XD-80 AC unit causing too much condensation. Is this a design flaw?
Question by jamars: has anyone had problems with a trane XD-80 AC unit causing too much condensation. Is this a design flaw?
My new trane unit is not catching all the condensation it produces. the primary drain is not blocked. My secondary pan is sitting in water all the time. Trane enginers have looked at the problem and even replaced my A coil. Still the same problem. Seems to me trane has a design problem here. Anyone out there with a similar experience or problem with a downflow XD-80?
Best answer:
Answer by oil field trash
They come from the factory set up for vertical installation but I’m not sure if that is vertical up or vertical down flow.
We have a new variable air handler with coils for a 5 ton Trane heat pump system. It is installed in the horizontal and there was a problem with condensate getting into the enclosure and leaking into the emergency pan.
The contractor replaced the coil and the problem went away. One of the brackets holding the drip pan inside the unit was bent and the drip pan was tilted to one side.
According to someone I know at Trane, they have not really tested their air handlers very well when it comes to condensate blow off from the coils. Keep on Trane’s case. They should make it right and I believe they will if you stay with it.
A person I know at Trane said the number one problem their field service people have to deal with on down flow units is the failure of the installer to properly modify the unit with the baffles needed for that configuration. As the writer below says, information on these should be in the installation manual that came with the unit.
Finally, is it possible that they have switched the two drain connections so that the main drain is draining to the emergency pan and not the sewer or condensate pump? Have you checked these connections against the installation drawings? Also, I assume they have provided a trap in the main drain so air is not being drawn in and keeping the condensate from draining.

Where is the line drawn between evil caused by mental illness and evil committed by truly evil people?
Question by Alicia Arol: Where is the line drawn between evil caused by mental illness and evil committed by truly evil people?
Why did this man murder his two five year old twin daughters?
I am sure that any of you who watched 20/20 on June 6, 2008 were as appalled as I was-saddened as I was by this senseless tragedy. But did all of you “get” the fact that this man was/is not evil? Hitler…Ted Bundy…These men (and too many others like them) were pure evil. This man who butchered his two twin daughters was remorseful, and he claims that his mental illness caused him to murder his children. This man did not claim his mental illness as a defense. He took full responsibility for his actions, and he was sentenced for first degree murder. But why did he butcher his children to begin with? While I was watching the program, I even asked myself why this man could not have just killed his own self, rather than brutally murdering his two innocent little girls? If mental illness can cause people to do such horrific things, then how is anybody safe? My mother developed Schizophrenia late in her life. She was 32 and I was 10. My mother had been becoming very deeply involved with God and Christianity when she just developed her illness “out of the blue”. She woke me up from a sound sleep and told me that God was going to kill her that night for being a bad person. After God did not “kill” my mother, I lived around my mother’s “madness” and dealt with it as best as a child can. My mother said and did weird things, but she never tried to harm me. In 1991 (after I graduated from college), I went to live with my mother and her mentally ill new husband. My mother had been fine for many years. She is one of the lucky ones. If my mother takes her medication, she is and acts perfectly normal. The problem was (when I was a child), my mother would constantly go off her medication. My mother’s new husband convinced her to do what she had not done in many years. He convinced her to stop taking her medication, but (because the medication was so built up in her system), nobody (not even I) knew that she had stopped taking her medication for a whole year that I lived with her and my stepfather. Eventually, I started noticing all the signs from when I was a child. One morning, I heard my mother talking crazy and threatening my stepfather. I wanted to creep down the stairs-grab my car keys-and get out of the house. But, my mother heard me, and she started chasing after me. I ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. I slammed my door and desperately pressed against it, while “something” outside kept pushing on the door and trying to get in. The thing outside that clawed on my door like an animal was not my sweet, loving mother. Years later, I asked my mother if she remembered what she had been thinking that morning when she had tried to harm me (for the first time ever during her illness)? She told me that the voices in her head that day had told her that I was an alien that needed to be “knocked out”. If my mother had managed to get into my room, and had tried to knock me out, she might have killed me or seriously damaged me, BUT IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN HER FAULT. (Can you imagine what horror she would have had to live with for the rest of her life-even though what happened would not have been her fault?) The man featured on the 20/20 special does not understand why he murdered his baby girls? What I don’t understand is this? He states that he turned his daughters over so that he would not have to look at their faces while he was stabbing them to death. If he was capable of thinking that way, then didn’t he have (somewhere inside of him) some type of “awareness” of the horror he was committing? Maybe those two little girls are in heaven (like their mother believes), but all I know is that their last moments on earth were filled with terror, and pain, and “knowing” that their own father was snuffing out their lives. My mother’s mental illness was not her fault. This man’s mental illness was not his fault. My mother did make the conscious choice to go off of her medication, and this man did choose to not tell anybody he was having obsessive thoughts about murdering his twin girls. But if my mother had accidentally killed me, and I had arrived on the other side (still conscious and not burning in hell), I would have still known that mental illness is not anybody’s fault. Evil people are not remorseful. The man who killed his twin girls has a picture of the two girls hanging in his jail cell, as a daily reminder to him of what he did. But, he will still never know WHY he did what he did, and neither do I?
****Maybe demonic entities are really walking the earth (as some Christians believe), and these entities get inside of “weak” people. If that is the case-then not one of us is safe.
Mental illness runs in my family. How do I know that I will not suddenly “go mad” and try to harm somebody I love? I know that you can’t give me any answers, because nobody has any answers or guarantees. I have been plagued by demons and chased by madness my whole life, but I never developed anything serious enough for me to be locked up in a mental institution like my mother was several different times since she developed her illness 30 years ago.
