[link\|http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2139974,00.html\|Deutsche Welle]: The bombs were found in the German cities of Dortmund and Koblenz on July 31 with German Criminal Police Office (BKA) chief J\ufffdrg Ziercke saying that were arranged to explode simultaneously at 2:30 p.m. Neither of the bombs was detonated. "It's more likely than unlikely that there was a terrorist background," Ziercke told a news conference in Wiesbaden. If the around 25-kilo (55-lb.) suitcase bombs had exploded they would have lead to "a fireball" in the train carriages and an "indeterminate number of injured and possible deaths," he said. [link\|http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601100&sid=amfUo8XqimWs&refer=germany\|Bloomberg]: One suitcase discovered abandoned on a regional train from Aachen to Hamm in western Germany was turned in by the train's conductor in Dortmund and found to contain a propane gas bottle, three bottles filled with gasoline and a detonating device, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said Aug. 1. On the same day, another piece of luggage was found on another regional train from Moenchengladbach to Koblenz about 75 miles to the South. It too contained a propane gas bottle. It's a good thing these bomber seem to be incompetent more often than not. Hmm. Germany doesn't have any troops in Iraq, so .... :-/ Cheers, Scott.

Anyway, I've seen that stop (in imaginitive calligraphy) on several, but am a neophyte re the intricacies of huge pipe organs; a hint of their complexity can be noted at [link\|http://www.herefordcathedral.org/music_organ_willis.asp\|http://www.herefordc..._organ_willis.asp] Dunno where Wurlitzer fits, beyond theatre organs (another genre) but to many, Hammond:Real Organ::military music:music Cthulhu I despise that horrific tremolo! and All.. the 'voices'.

He'd occasionally take me down there when eh went on one of his bi-monthly pilgrimages to the Shrine of Pipes. Actaully had me help him tune it 9at the ripe old age of 3...) Every once in a while, he'd bring home some of the old wood pipes for repair. neer forget the contortions he wnet through trying to get the 32' pipe into the basement so he could repair some cracks in it. Jeez, that was a long time ago! And yes, it had a Swell to Great stop. and a Accompaniment to Great as well....) jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing.
