The adapter and lip of the shovel fit together in oveiriding relation, with openings in each aligning to form a passage which receives a C-shaped clamp and wedge. The back side of the C-clamp has a rectangular recess which receives a locking member. The locking member has an exposed face which is serrated, and it is urged out of the recess by a resilient mounting pad. The wedge also has a serrated face which mateably engages the locking member. To simplify removal of the adapter from the shovel, a longitudinal groove is formed in the engaging face of the wedge which extends through and below the serrations. A partial groove is formed in the C- clamp, and the grooves together guidably receive a spike therebetween which, upon insertion, separates the respective serrated faces and enables the wedge to be removed. 7 Claims, 7 Drawing Figures Patented March 27, 1973 7 ww b a a 7 H Z P I 5 3 2 5 W J The invention is generally related to the field of connecting devices for heavy machinery, and is specifically intended for use with tooth adapter assemblies for excavating shovels. The excavation and processing of ore and hard rock requires heavy machinery which is subject to rapid and excessive wear. The existing practice for some ore processing machinery is to make the oreengaging parts subject to such wear replaceable through the use of adapters. Excavating shovels, for instance, include digger tooth adapter assemblies which are removably connected to the shovel lip and carry replacement digger teeth which can be removed and replaced when worn. One of the more common methods of connecting a tooth adapter to a shovel lip employs a C-shaped clamping block which is used in combination with a wedge. Transverse openings are formed in the adapter and shovel lip, and when these members are brought together in overlapping relation, the openings align to form a continuous passage at the point of connection. The C-shaped block is initially inserted into the passage, and the wedge is thereafter driven into the remaining passage space to form the connection. One of the primary disadvantages with thistype of connection lies in its tendency to loosen through vibration and shock, which can result in loss of the tooth adapter if the connecting parts fall away. US. Pat. No. 3,572,785, which issued to Darrell R. Larsen on Mar. 30, 1971 and is assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, is directed to an improved connecting apparatus which, when properly inserted, insures that the adapter will not be disconnected from the shovel. In the preferred embodiment of the aforesaid Larsen patent, the wedge has a rectangular recess formed in one face which receives an undulated engagement member. The engagement member is normally urged away from the recess by a resilient mounting pad. The back side of the C-clamp is also formed with undulations that mateably engage with the engagement member. Consequently, the wedge is driven into the continuous passage, the respective undulating portions mateably engage and are held in such engagement through outward urging of the engagement member. The present invention is an improvement of the Larsen connecting apparatus, and has as its objective a simpler removal of the wedge and C-shaped block when replacement of the adapter tooth assembly is necessary. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, I provide the wedge with a serrated engaging surface and dispose a serrated engagement member into a rectangular recess in the C-clamp. A resilient mounting pad is again used to urge the engagement member from the recess, and the respective serrated portions are constructed so that, when in mating engagement, relative movement between the wedge and C-block is possibleonly in the direction of positive wedging movement. In other words, each individual serration has an angular side which permits sliding movement with the angular side of the opposed serration; but the opposite side forms a shoulder which abuts the opposed side and precludes relative sliding movement in the opposite direction. Thus, once the wedge is inserted into the continuous passage, it is limited from further forward movement by virtue of its wedging relation, and is precluded from rearward movement by the serrated en gagement surface. To permit the removal of the wedge, I provide a longitudinal groove through the serrated engaging surface of the wedge, and a partial groove in the back side of the C-clamp which terminates at the recess. These grooves are in substantial alignment when the block and wedge are in connecting position, and together they guidably receive a spike or smaller wedge which, upon insertion, separates the serrated surfaces. When completely separated, the wedge can be removed from the continuous passage, thereby allowing disengagement of the tooth adapter assembly from the shovel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wedge forming part i of the inventive connecting apparatus; FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a C-clamp used in conjunction with the wedge of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the C-clamp; FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view of the tooth adapter assembly being connected to the lip of an excavating shovel by the C-clamp and wedge connector; FIG. 5 is the view of FIG. 4 with the wedge in place; FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken generally along the line 6-6 of FIG. 5 with a separating wedge inserted; FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of a separating wedge. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With initial reference to FIG. 1, a wedge represented generally by the numeral 11 is shown to comprise a tapered, elongated member which is essentially rectangular in cross-section. Wedge 11 has an engaging face 12 the greater portion of which is formed with teeth members or serrations 13. A longitudinal groove 14 ex- I tends through the serrated portion 13 from one end of the wedge 11 to the other. In the preferred embodiment, the groove 14 is uniformally rectangular in crosssection, although it will be appreciated that other configurations would be suitable. With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, a C-clamp or block represented generally by the numeral 15 comprises an elongated portion 16 with projections 17 extending laterally from either end. In the back side of C-clamp 15 intermediate its ends, a rectangular recess 18 is formed. Disposed in recess 18 are a resilient pad 19 and engagement or locking member 21. The length of member 21 is slightly less than the length of recess 18 in order that it can move depthwise of the recess; but longitudinal movement of member 21 relative to the C- clamp 15, in response to a shearing force, is substantially precluded by the abutment of its ends with the ends of the recess 18. The purpose of the pad 19 is to provide a resilient backing for the locking member 21, and to normally urge the member 21 out from the recess 18. Preferably, the pad 19 is made of rubber and is bonded or adhesively secured to both the bottom surface of recess 18 and the back surface of locking member 21. The front face of locking member 21 is serrated, as . shown at 22, the individual teeth or serrations complementing the serrations 13 of wedge 11 to permit a mateable engagement therewith. With particular reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, it can be seen that each of the serrations 22 has an angular side which slidably engages the corresponding side of one of the serrations 13 to permit sliding movement of the wedge 11 relative to C-clamp 15 in one direction; and an abutting side or face which cooperates with the abutting faces of the serrations 13 to preclude relative movement between the wedge 11 and the C-clamp 15 in the opposite direction. With specific reference to FIG. 3, it can be seen that partial grooves 23 are formed in the back side of C- clamp 15, the grooves 23 conforming generally in size, shape and position to the groove 14 to permit substantial alignment therewith when the members are in their connecting position. FIGS. 4 and show the wedge 11 and C-clamp in combination with a tooth adapter assembly 24 and the lip 25 of an excavating shovel. The adapter assembly 24 carries a digging tooth 26 by means not shown. A horizontal opening 27 is formed in tooth adapter 24 in a conventional manner to receive the shovel lip 25 in overlapping relation. Both tooth adapter 24 and shovel lip 25 have vertical or transverse openings, designated 28 and 29, respectively, which become aligned to form a continuous vertical or transverse passage when tooth adapter 24 and lip 25 are properly engaged. Transverse openings 28 and 29 must both be of sufficient dimension to enable the projections 17 of C-clamp 15 to pass therethrough. Projections 17 must be spaced sufficiently apart to receive and engage the thickness of tooth adapter 24, as shown. With C-clamp 15 oriented in its proper position with respect to the tooth adapter 24, wedge 11 can be driven into the continuous transverse passage defined by vertical openings 28 and 29. As will be appreciated, the angular formation of the serrations 13 and 22 permits movement of the wedge 11 only in the downward or wedging direction. As wedge 11 moves in this direction, the locking member 21 is forced further into the recess 18 against the resilient pad 19, the result being, in essence, a ratchet movement. Wedge 11 is shown fully inserted in FIG. 5. FIG. 7 shows a removing wedge or spike 30, which is used to separate the adapter assembly 24 from shovel lip 25. Spike 30 has a thickness which permits it to be driven into the aligned grooves 14 and 23, and its width is such that, upon insertion, the locking member 21 will be separated from wedge 11. FIG. 6 shows the entire assembly in section with spike 30 in full engagement with the leading edges or apexes of serrations 22. As shown, the serrations 22 are entirely separated from the serrations 13, thus enabling the wedge 11 to be driven out of the continuous transverse passage. C- clamp 15 can then be removed from its position in the transverse passage, which enables tooth adapter 24 to be taken from shovel lip 25 for maintenance, repair or replacement. From the foregoing, it will be apparent that a longitudinal groove can be used on either or both the wedge 11 and C-clamp 15, so long as it is properly dimensioned and arranged to permit the insertion of spike 30 to separate the locking faces. Although I prefer to use serrations as described to permit rearward movement of the wedge 11 after it has been driven in place it should be emphasized that the invention is equally applicable to mateably engaging faces of different configurations. I claim: 1. Apparatus for removably connecting separable parts, the parts fitting together in overlapping relation and each having an opening, the respective openings being alignable to form a continuous passage when the parts are brought together, the connecting apparatus comprising: a. an elongated block having projections extending laterally from either end, the projections being of such length as to permit insertion of the block into the continuous passage and spaced to receive one of the two parts therebetween; . a wedge dimensioned for insertion into the passage in wedging relation between the block and the other of the two parts; c. one of said elongated block and wedge having an engaging face; . the other of said elongated block and wedge having a recess intermediate its ends; e. a locking member having an engaging face disposed in the recess; f. means for resiliently urging the locking member from the recess; the respective engaging faces being constructed and arranged to mateably engage and to resist relative longitudinal movement between the elongated block and wedge; . a longitudinal groove formed in at least one of said elongated block and wedge in relation to the associated engaging face; i. and a longitudinal wedging member sized for insertion into said groove to be guided thereby, the wedging member being shaped to separate said mateably engaging surfaces upon insertion into said groove. 2. The apparatus defined by claim 1, wherein the longitudinal groove is formed in said one of the elongated block and wedge, extending through the engaging face thereof. 3. The apparatus defined by claim 1, wherein the longitudinal groove is formed in the other of said elongated block and wedge, the groove extending to and terminating at each side of the recess. 4. The apparatus defined by claim 1, wherein the groove is uniformly rectangular in cross-section, and the wedging member is tapered. 5. The apparatus defined by claim 1, wherein the mateable engaging faces are serrated, the serrations being angularly constructed and arranged to prevent removal of the wedge from a wedging position in said continuous passage. 6. The apparatus defined by claim 1, wherein a longitudinal groove is formed in each of said elongated block and wedge, the grooves being alignably disposed to guideably receive the wedging member. 7. The apparatus defined by claim 1, wherein the resilient urging means comprises a resilient pad disposed in the bottom of said recess. Patent Citations

NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil rose Wednesday as the government reported shrinking crude supplies, and some good news overseas offset concerns about political wrangling in Washington.
The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said that the nation's crude oil supplies fell last week by a million barrels, about half of what analysts expected.
Oil prices also got a boost from a key survey measuring German business optimism. It showed slight improvement and was good news for Europe's largest economy.
Fiscal cliff negotiations continued in Washington. The White House threatened Wednesday to veto House Speaker John Boehner's so-called "Plan B" for avoiding the fiscal cliff, saying it was time for Republicans to stop political posturing and try to reach a compromise deficit-cutting package. President Barack Obama also said Wednesday that his administration was prepared to make tough choices to find a solution and there's no reason talks should fail.

Yes, exactly!! "The Man with the Twisted Lip" is the name of the story in case you'd like to look it up.
We've just been up in New York for the weekend, specifically to attend the annual "Gaslight Gala" in honor of Holmes' birthday. Also managed to see both kids, to take in "Million Dollar Quartet," and to have some really good meals. Seeing these posts reminds me of the story a friend tells of visiting New York and waking up to a beautiful, crisp fall morning. He ran down the block to pick up a New York Times and turned from the newsstand with his change in his hand (this was when the paper was still less than a buck). He saw a man in a doorway holding a cup, and he went over and deposited the coins into the cup. The man looked at him incredulously. . .

69th Habitat For Humanity Home Completed In Montgomery, Brings Hope To Local Family
In tough times, a family is given the gift of a new home. That's exactly what Habitat for Humanity does, and today, they celebrated the completion of the 69th home built in Montgomery. It was over a year ago when the First United Methodist Church envisioned a home on this plot of land. And now it's become a dream come true for one Montgomery family. It's a key opening the door to everything Carla Surls has ever wanted. Causing emotions this mother and her son, Brandon, can't put into words. "If it wasn't with Him and me praying about it, I wouldn't be here today getting my gift from Him," Said Carla Surls. Turning an empty lot into a place she can "now" call home. "I'm just ready to move this evening because that's pretty much... I'm happy about it... I'm so happy!" Said Carla's son, Brandon. A dream made possible thanks to the First United Methodist Church of Montgomery and Habitat for Humanity. Since January, the Surls family and volunteers spent hundreds of man hours trying to get this house ready for move-in day. But it hasn't been easy. Carla is a single mother working two jobs. Yet, it never stopped her from lending a hand or a hammer on her own home. "It's just like an early Christmas present to me because I helped build it with my two hands. I never thought that I could do it, but I guess you never know until you give it a try!" Habitat volunteers say they're building more than just the Surls' home. They're creating a foundation for the family's new life. "It's just a great feeling to be able to help someone, like Carla who has worked so hard and prayed for so long to get a home where she felt safe and where she felt safe raising her son," Said Claire Smith, a Habitat for Humanity board member. Church officials say the home has been purchased through non-profit, no-interest mortgages. The Surls' monthly payments will go to helping build another Montgomery family's Habitat home. Carla and Brandon plan to start moving into their new home Sunday evening. |

In a wide-ranging interview with Wall Street Journal Chief Economics Correspondent Jon Hilsenrath, New York Fed...
The need to replace your car every 2-3 years has been replaced by the need to replace your smart phone every 12-24 months.
Replacing your car early is a fools game.
All cars are better than the old days. Attitudes about cars. My adult children both have 8 year old card with 100K miles on them. They run fine. Also they don't care about cars the way people used to. Maybe because they all look alike now?
My 2002 VW Passatt Station Wagon is still doing fine…. routine maintenance only so far has been needed.. it looks new when it's washed……..has 149,000 miles so far……….
Steve Paul is right — Amen!
In late April of 2013, I voluntarily gave up driving because for medical reasons; sold my 2007 Saturn Ion that only had 10,500 miles on it. Living in the heart of SW Houston and working downtown, reimbursement for using public transportation is simple and convenient. Had the medical issues not risen to the level of presenting a safety issue when driving, that car would've fossilized from lack of use before having gotten something newer.
Balderdash. The average age of the US fleet keeps getting older with every report, yet we're on track for a record sales year. This is a plot by auto stock touts because F & GM stock are in the doldrums. (Actually, owning F, I wish it was true)
The cars are just plain better. People who don't have a desire to buy a new car just to have something new are able to get more value by driving the cars longer. Thirty years ago, driving a car 200,000 miles took real commitment and a friendly tow-truck driver. Today, many cars are still in good shape at 200,000 miles. I don't think we will see the average age on the road drop to the old level, nor should we if people are making solid economic decisions.
replace plastic not the car !

Zhang, Woo honored at China awards
SARFT-backed event sought 'Greater China' inclusiveness.
HONG KONG -- "Farewell My Concubine" director Chen Kaige, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" star Zhang Ziyi and director John Woo were among the filmmakers honored at China's government-organized Huabiao film awards in Beijing.
Veteran action stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li and actor Chow Yun-fat also walked the red carpet at the biennial awards ceremony held by China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television late Saturday.
This year's ceremony was especially star-studded because the booming China market is becoming increasingly lucrative to actors and directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The awards have a reputation for honoring propaganda films but have incorporated commercial cinema.
Chen was named outstanding director along with Feng Xiaogang. Chen was honored for his biopic of late Peking Opera star Mei Lanfang, "Forever Enthralled." Feng won for his war movie "Assembly," which revolves around the heroics of a People's Liberation Army unit during the Chinese civil war in the 1940s.
Chen struck a patriotic note in his acceptance speech, shooting down recent speculation that he had become an American citizen.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Everything we love about classic German Pilsner with a hoppy Bohemian twist. Pils is a bright straw colored lager beer with playful carbonation topped with beautiful white foam lace. Delicate lightly toasted malt flavors underscore noble German hop character. Hallertau-grown Magnum hops deliver the lupulin foundation while generous amounts of Spalter Select hops bring floral aromatic and spicy herbal notes. As a twist on the traditional Pils, we dry hop with German Saphir for a touch of bergamot zest and lemongrass. A refreshing, light-bodied and hop-driven Pils.

We've tried this before. In the late 19th through the early 20th century the theory of eugenics became very popular in America. Introduced in 1883 by Sir Francis Galton, eugenics was based on the quasi-Darwinian idea that modern medicine allowed genetically unfit human individuals to reproduce. In a more natural state, these unfit humans would have died before they could pass their genes to the next generation. Thus humanity was regressing evolutionarily. Some groups that were deemed unfit were non-whites, the mentally insane, and yes, sexual deviants. By the mid-20th century most states had endorsed sterilization programs to remove some or all of these groups from the gene-pool.
These programs did not work, however. It turns out that while the genes that determine hair and eye color are easy to isolate and reinforce through selective breeding, isolating the genetic basis for traits such as epilepsy confounds biologists and medical researchers to this day. Furthermore, developing an accurate metric for abstract qualities such as intelligence or sexuality has proved impossible.
I urge you to be wary of supporting different treatment of groups that are considered below the ideal standards of society. America tried it, and it didn't work. Worse, it resulted in the physical mutilation of citizens that had otherwise broken no law.
If you're interested, the details of this post came from:
It revolves around the question of why the homosexual lobby insists on pushing for the right to "marry" even though civil unions confer the same rights. It also involves the worry - whether it be legitimate or not - that opening up the definition of marriage to anything other than the traditional male - female role, weakens the institution. An institution that many believe is vital to the survival of the family, and to the health of a society.
Except homosexuals engage in selective removal from the gene pool. If homosexuality is normal and gays are genetically predisposed, then nature insists that they remove themselves from the gene pool. A 100% gay man (or woman) who will not have sex with a woman (or man) has no natural chance at reproduction.
Yet modern science has made sperm donation possible, allowing these people to circumvent nature, and reintroduce their genetic code into the gene pool.
Big difference between eugenics, which is basically forced selection, and nature, which seeks to weed homosexuality out of the gene pool.
Ha ha, could'nt resist, you call it an option for gays! I'm pretty sure it would be the only way, no options!
It is amusing. Without the "option" humanity would die out, no?
Of course - but our time will see that it doesn't. Well, that and the size of Mormon families.

Stalin-era statues north of the city center
Across the river, check out the Stalin-era statues. Legend has it Lithuanians left the statues up as a way to poke fun of the old Soviet regime. The statue photo apparently pays tribute to industry and construction according to the guide, though maybe it's education. Anyway, you go, Stalin--show respect for the workers by giving them statues while making their lives miserable!
The Green Bridge
The Green Bridge crosses the Neris River at Kalvariu g. The name is pretty self-explanatory (it's bright green), and the bridge itself isn't spectacularly beautiful or anything, but it does feature some of the last Soviet monuments / sculpture left standing in Vilnius. Go be inspired by the courage and work ethic of the 'heroic' farmers, soldiers, teachers, etc.... ;-)

SAN FRANCISCO, (KGO) -- San Francisco will stop restaurant chains like McDonald's from including toys with fast food meals. This makes San Francisco the second county in the Bay Area, after Santa Clara, to pass this ordinance.
For years, fast food chains have included toys in their meals as a way to encourage parents to order them for their kids and what's inside hasn't always been healthy. San Francisco Supervisor Eric Mar introduced an ordinance banning these toys in meals that exceed 600 calories and for him this is a health issue. "One in five people in the United States of America are obese and in the U.S about half of the population is now overweight and some studies say it's over two-thirds of the population of the U.S.," he said. The ordinance would also require more fruit and vegetables and once that happens, the toys could be reintroduced. There are 20 McDonald's restaurants in San Francisco -- 10 of the franchises are owned by Scott Rodrick who says there are other ways to tackle obesity. "The bigger issues like balanced lifestyles and improving school lunches in cafeterias and providing more after school athletic programs for kids," he said. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom had said he would veto the measure and three board members sided with him. "To make these kinds of restrictions, I think we are overstepping our bounds and we have far more important things to be doing with our time than talking about happy meals," San Francisco Supervisor Sean Elsbernd said. The proposal needed eight supervisors to make it veto proof. At the last minute Supervisor Bevan Dufty gave his support. With that majority vote the ban will now go into effect in about a year, Dec. 1, 2011.

Indonesian anti-graft agency says prominent governor is a suspect
JAKARTA (REUTERS) - Indonesia's anti-graft agency named a prominent provincial governor a suspect on Tuesday in the latest in a series of high-profile corruption cases that have eroded public trust in President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's ruling coalition.
Over half of Indonesia's 539 regional leaders are now under investigation for graft corruption, helping keep Southeast Asia's biggest economy near the top of the list of the world's most corrupt.
Ratu Atut Chosiyah, governor of Banten province, on the western tip of the island of Java and sharing a border with the capital, Jakarta, is suspected of being involved in two corruption cases, including bribing a top judge, who is already under arrest over graft.
"The governor of Banten is officially a suspect in a bribery case involving the Constitutional Court chief justice and election rigging in ... Banten," Abraham Samad, head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) told reporters.

The Hostage Bride
Dear Reader, Here is the first of my new "Brides" trilogy, in which three unconventional young women vow they will never marry--only to be overtaken by destiny. Bride #1 is the outspoken Portia.... It's bad enough that seventeen-year-old Portia Worth is taken in by her uncle, the marquis of Granville, after her father dies. As the bastard niece, Portia knows she can expect little beyond a roof over her head and a place at the table. But it truly adds insult to injury when the Granvilles' archenemy, the outlaw Rufus Decatur, hatches a scheme to abduct the marquis's daughter--only to kidnap Portia by accident. Portia, who possesses more than a streak of independence as well as a talent for resistance, does not take kindly to being abducted--mistakenly or otherwise. Decatur will soon find himself facing the challenge of his life, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom, as he contends with this misfit of a girl who has the audacity to believe herself the equal of any man.... Warmest wishes, Jane Feather P.S. Phoebe, the "awkward" one, will be next, in The Accidental Bride. Watch for it in early 1999. From the Paperback edition.
Author Information
Editorial Reviews
Feather, whose latest series were the V series (Vanity, Vice, Violet, etc.) and the Charm Bracelet trilogy (The Emerald Swan, The Silver Rose, etc.), sets her new Brides trilogy during the English Civil War. Each installment will focus on one of three young women joined by friendship and fate. Portia Worth's uncle, Cato Granville, is a Roundhead and mortal enemy of Rufus Decatur, a nobleman who has sworn fealty to King Charles in hopes of winning back his family's property and honor. Rufus's men mistakenly kidnap Portia, but when no money is forthcoming, the two outsiders an unwanted hostage and a dispossessed noble find a common bond. It's a fine romantic convention though rather marred by Portia's unduly prickly and bellicose nature. The author does a good job of capturing the period the class differences; life in a military encampment and during a siege; and the fickle loyalties of the day. But Feather can also stumble into breathless melodrama in dialogue and description: "He'd nurtured his anger with a fierce flame, but now as he tried with his own breath to return the living warmth to her face, to her eyes, that anger was as if it had never been."

1 . Not my era
Posted June 30, 2010 by cozy_fan , USA
I stopped reading this halfway through, which confused me because I never usually do that and I was fairly interested in the characters. The problem is really that I didn't like this era (mid-1600s) and I completely lost interest once the main characters hooked up. So, no reflection on JF's writing, but this was not for me.

Excerpt from The Hostage Bride by Jane Feather
Edinburgh, Scotland December, 1643 Acrid smoke billowed around the windowless room from the peat fire smoldering sullenly in the hearth. The old crone stirring a pot over the fire coughed intermittently, the harsh racking the only sound. Outside, the snow lay thick on a dead white world, heavy flakes drifting steadily from the iron gray sky. A bundle of rags, huddled beneath a moth-eaten blanket, groaned, shifted with a rustle of the straw beneath the sticklike frame. "Brandy, woman!" The crone glanced over her shoulder at the hump in the corner, then she spat into the fire. The spittle sizzled on the peat. "Girl's gone fer it. Altho' what she's usin' to pay fer it, the good Lord knows." The bundle groaned again. A wasted arm pushed feebly at the blanket, and Jack Worth struggled onto his elbow. He peered through slitted eyes into the smoke-shrouded room. Nothing had improved since he'd last looked, and he sank back into the straw again. The earth floor was hard and cold beneath the thin and foul-smelling straw, pressing painfully into his emaciated body. Jack wanted to die, but the flicker of life was persistent. And if he couldn't die, he wanted brandy. Portia had gone for brandy. His enfeebled brain could hold that thought. But where in the name of Lucifer was she? He couldn't remember what time she'd gone out into the storm. The blizzard obliterated all signs of time passing, and it could as well be midnight as dawn. His pain-racked limbs were on fire, his eyes burned in their sockets, every inch of his skin ached, and the dreadful craving consumed him so that he cried out, a sound so feeble that the crone didn't even turn from the fire. The door opened. Frigid air blasted the fug, and the smoke swirled like dervishes. The girl who kicked the door shut behind her was wire thin yet exuded a nervous energy that somehow enlivened the reeking squalor of the hovel. "Brandy, Jack." She came to the mattress and knelt, drawing a small leather flask from inside her threadbare cloak. Her nose wrinkled at the sour stench of old brandy and decaying flesh exuding from the man and his sickbed, but she pushed an arm beneath his scrawny neck and lifted him, pulling off the stopper of the flagon with her teeth. Her father was shaking so hard she could barely manage to hold the flask to his lips. His teeth rattled, his lifeless eyes stared up at her from his gaunt face, where the bones of his skull were clearly defined. He managed to swallow a mouthful of the fiery spirit, and as it slid down his gullet his aches diminished a little, the shivers died, and he was able to hold the flask in one clawlike hand and keep it to his lips himself until the last drop was gone. "Goddamn it, but it's never enough!" he cursed. "Why d'ye not bring enough, girl!" Portia sat back on her heels, regarding her father with a mixture of distaste and pity. "It's all I could afford. It's been a long time, in case you've forgotten, since you contributed to the family coffers." "Insolence!" he growled, but his eyes closed and he became so still that for a moment Portia thought that finally death would bring him peace, but after a minute his eyes flickered open. Saliva flecked his lips amid his thick uncombed gray beard; sweat stood out against the greenish waxen pallor of his forehead and trickled down his sunken cheeks. Portia wiped his face with the

United Airlines finds wiring problem on 787: WSJ, citing source

NEW YORK (Reuters) - United Airlines (UAL.N) has found a wiring problem on one of its Boeing Co (BA.N) 787 jets, an issue that affects the same system that caused a fire aboard a Japan Airlines Co 787 in Boston on Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a source.
The airline found improperly installed wiring in electrical components associated with the auxilliary power unit, the Journal reported. United examined the components after the fire on Monday, which took the Japan Airlines jet out of service.
United spokeswoman Christen David said United inspected its 787s after the Boston incident, but she declined to confirm the Journal report or to discuss the results of the inspections.
