I don't know about you but I have experienced a sort of style shift in 2011. I honestly think I could live in my jeans and a selection of blouses and spend all my money on jewellery and accessories. I'm choosing my moment carefully to tell you this because I am off to the shows soon and I know I'll probably have a long lust list of clothes again. But right now my new fashion festish is….labradorite!
Let me explain. For a start, it's got nothing to do with dogs. It's a stone, mined in the northern reaches of Canada (Labrador, of course). It all started before Christmas. The lovely people at Astley Clarke hosted a crash course in gemology at their bijou showroom in Paddington where we had tea and croissants (surrounded by bijou-s) and listened to an expert from Hatton Garden explain fascinating facts like how diamonds were valued, the difference between a ruby and a spinel, how many colours of sapphire there are (five), and why Kate Middleton's engagement ring is a gemologist's fantasy (impeccable stones apparently). I am vaguely hoping that the more I know about this, the more I find I'll need to know.
Anyway, our giggly group of fashion girls spent two happy hours looking at raw and cut stones and playing with Astley Clarke's fabulous stock. We all know about diamonds and emeralds, but have you ever seen pink beryl or a padparadscha or a garnet topped doublet? No? You haven't lived! And next time you are feeling low, go have a look at a watermelon tourmaline and I guarantee it'll perk you up in a heartbeat.
My epiphany happened as we were about to leave when someone asked what was the difference between precious and semi precious stones and our expert explained that he didn't like to think of them that way as there was a finite supply of so many. He used labradorite as an example of an unsung hero of the jewellery box. He showed us a necklace by Pippa Small that looked like something flat and grey on a stand, but came to life on skin, with more lights and reflections than the aurora borealis. It was a stormy sea and a cloudy sky in a piece of polished rock, millions of years old. I was in love.
But I couldn't buy it. It was the 3rd December. I had to prioritise: a turkey and Xmas tree and stocking fillers. But I obsessed about it. And I talked about it non stop. My friend Nicola, who knows a thing or two about grown up jewellery knew all about it, 'Oh darling, labradorite is fabulous,' she said on the phone like I'd just discovered a well kept secret.'
I've been pining ever since, but a looming tax bill meant I just had to suck it up. Then, last week, the Astley Clarke lady called and said it was in their sale. Grazia Girls, the style director hesitated three seconds and caved. It'll be brown rice and baked beans until the spring, but who cares about food when you have the consolation of (semi) precious stones?

DALLAS -- As they continue the journey toward getting back to respectability and back in the torrid playoff race, the Dallas Mavericks are at least halfway toward reaching one of their mini-goals.Before starting the current string of home games on Saturday with a win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the Mavs wanted to make a bold statement by sweeping all four games of the homestand. With Monday's 113-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at American Airlines Center, the Mavs are hopeful that this win will put them on the path to something big.Darren Collison, O.J. Mayo and Elton Brand combined for 63 points as the Mavs won their third straight game and increased their record to 16-23, tying them with the Los Angels Lakers and Timberwolves for 10th place in win total in the Western Conference.It was yet another solid performance by the Mavs, who now have won three games in a row for just the third time this season.It also was just the second time this year the Mavs have tallied at least 100 points in three consecutive games since Nov. 3-7.The Mavs shot a sizzling 59.7 percent from the field, dispensed a season-high 33 assists and committed just 10 turnovers as they beat a Minnesota squad that won the first two games of the season series."I thought the key to the game was our tempo was good; we kept the ball moving," coach Rick Carlisle said. "Collison played a terrific game. He had a lot of assists, too. He was the guy that really was the key guy keeping the pressure on them from a tempo standpoint."Collison led the Mavs with 23 points, nine assists and three steals while directing a solid game.Mayo added 20 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, and Brand added 20 points and six boards while converting 10 of 13 shots in just 30 minutes.Brand had 14 of his points in the first half of the game, which the Mavs led 55-45 at halftime. Carlisle talked about how the 14-year veteran has had to adjust his game this season."It certainly has been challenging for him, too, because he started most of his career and we have him coming off the bench just because we felt it was the best thing for our overall team," Carlisle said. "But it made it a tougher challenge for him. But now he seems to be getting into a groove as a guy off the bench."For his part, Brand just wants to win. And it was his jumper, followed by a bucket by Collison, a fast-break layup from Mayo and a fast-break dunk from Jae Crowder, that widened the Mavs' lead to 91-68 late in the third period."We were spreading the ball around and getting assists tonight," Brand said. "It was just one of those nights."With the help of former Mavs guard J.J. Barea, the Timberwolves chopped the Mavs' lead to 101-93 with 3:16 remaining in the game. But Collison buried a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws to send Minnesota home with a four-game losing streak."We're playing with more familiarity with one another, with more familiarity with our system," Carlisle said. "Our reads are better. We've been doing some good things in that area. The challenge will be to continue it."Dallas next plays Houston on Wednesday followed by the homestand's finale Friday against Oklahoma City.Dwain Price, 817-390-7760Twitter: @DwainPrice

The River Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen
Review The Song (5)
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

the magical bruce | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/1/09
bruce's songs ( especially this one ) possess some strange power to take you where he wants, and make you experience what he wants..and no matter how many times you hear it, over and over again, every time you can feel something special.. and there are no words to describe that feeling..
can't help crying | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/24/08
This is one of the most touching songs I have ever heard..its honesty opens up all the problems that can overwhelm everything we ever loved, wanted or dreamed of. It sings about a life not lived, a dream not come true, even it started off as a great love. One has to imagine some US outback, a small town "where mister when you're young" where there are no many opportunities..then you find Mary but your troubles are not just not over, but they have just begun. No one would like to live of a memory..everybody deserves a chance in life and love, and not to think that dream is a lie. Live now, not in the past...that is the key. God bless your songs, Bruce.
Now the river is dry | Reviewer: 尘 | 8/25/08
Not until I listened to this song
I won't realize what a magic instrument the harmonica is
And I always love BS's honesty expressed in his lyrics
"Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse"
It's one of the greatest song I've ever heard
Besides I've got nothing to say
Most affecting song ever heard | Reviewer: Rolli | 3/16/06
Maybe one gets the message only at the third listen - we all make a big mistake in our life and suffer forever .... think about this if somebody asks You for forgivness .....
dream or a lie | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/5/05
Profound lyrics. Good reminder of how we can make a good thing go wrong if we let our impatience get in the way--lust is not a bad thing in the right context, but it needs to wait until after the wedding smile, the protection of one who will be with you forever.

Date: Oct 31, 2012
The term "backpack" for this costume is very misleading. The dress is cute enough, but the diego backpack is not really a backpack. It only looks like one, which really upset my 5 year old daughter. The backpack was what she wanted most.

Caroline Patterson is an honor roll student in the classroom and a versatile field hockey player on the field for the Monticello Mustangs, but she says her success in school and sports hasn't come easy.
"I like field hockey because I run and field hockey is moving," says Patterson. "It's hard, it's not easy. You have to stay low. If you're not low you don't get the ball, and if you don't get the ball then you have to chase it. You have to move, and I like that it's fast."
Just like the challenge of field hockey, Patterson says she's also worked through challenges in school.
"It's a lot of hard work for me, it doesn't come easy. It requires times in early, time after school, time with teachers. I can't just wing a test and do well. I actually have to study."
Her high GPA may have not come without hard work, but Patterson's coach Katie Martin says Patterson's natural intelligence does show when she's out on the field.
"She's a very very intellectual player," Martin said. She watches and she sees her opportunities and she knows kind of how the field works, and you can see it in her play."
Martin describes Patterson as one of the hardest working players she's coached, and in three years as her coach Martin has seen that work ethic grow.
"She's found some drive," Martin said. "Well, she had it to begin with, but she's definitely become a lot more focused and determined. When she sets her mind to something you can tell that it's going to get done."
"I work hard in the classroom and then I equally have to come out here and work hard because I don't just pick up my stick and I'm not just good," adds Patterson. "You have to come out here, you have to work, you have to pick it up a few times. And it's kind of the same thing in the classroom. If I don't stay after, if I don't come in early or ask questions then I wouldn't have the grades that I have, and likewise on the field hockey field."

Carve uniformly awesome lines.
Let your riding do the talking in the Holden Men's Standard Pants. These uniform-inspired stretch-twill pants have clean, utilitarian style for the man who prefers function to fashion, but still likes a touch of tailoring. Their one gesture to pure fashion is a single leather belt loop, for a touch of contrast. Otherwise, they're all function, featuring critical-seam taping and fabric that fights wetness on powdery days. Zippered leg vents let you dump heat quickly, and covered ankle zips, for access to the elastic boot gaiters with an integrated clip, manage to be subtly stylish but supremely serviceable. And with a recycled polyester taffeta lining and a PFOA-free water-resistant coating, whatever color you choose, they'll be green on the inside. The Factory Pants are solid all-conditions gear to keep you comfortable in the pow or the slush.

The Christianity we have inherited in the 21st century is like an onion, with Jesus' wisdom at the core and layers and layers of church doctrine added over the centuries.

The result is that most progressive Christian churches no longer use the old creeds. We are not willing to recite what we cannot believe.read more

Danger Rides Again
Ten years ago a small caravan of vehicles stopped at the edge of the empty vastness of the Black Rock desert, a place where you could gain nothing or lose it all and no one would ever know. Danger Ranger took a stick, drew a line across the earth, and said "On the other side of this line, there exists a world where everything is different." Then everybody held hands and stepped across that line. The first settlers of Black Rock City had come to burn a wooden man. In doing so, they created a community.
Danger Ranger enjoying a might fine mornin'.
Photo by George Post 1994That community has grown. Based on the values of giving and sharing, it is now rich in art and culture. Danger Ranger will soon be crossing that line again, bringing object lessons of a gift economy to the regional communities of Burning Man that now exist beyond the boundaries of our desert home. Traveling the asphalt rivers of America, like some burning Santa, he will reach out to everyone.
Danger will be driving across America in a 30-year old conveyance known as the "Silver Seed", a kind of mobile, self-contained theme camp enclosed in an aluminum skin. His mission is to redistribute gifts and, by so doing, reconnect participants in Burning Man with one another. When our event is over every year, participants often lament that they must wait another 358 days to be reunited with our community. Danger's message to you is that you need no longer wait. Take what you have learned from your experience, organize with friends and fellow burners, and be ready to greet him.
Danger Ranger's trip in 2001 will span 18 states. Departing from the Black Rock Desert on the first of May, he will travel through the Southwest, cross the Mississippi River, turn northward and make his way to New York City. From there he will begin a return path, traveling Westward through Middle America toward the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin. He will return to the Black Rock Desert in time for Burning Man 2001.
The Silver Seed on the road and beyond.
Photo by Micheal Micheal 2000Along this route he will explore the crossroads, outposts and obscure recesses of our dispersed community. Danger wants to hear your story. His journey will become a survey of who and what we are. His stops along the way will be a magnet drawing us together. Be prepared to express yourself before thousands of participants who follow this trip on our website. Be ready, also, to contribute to his progress. Give a gift that you create to Danger Ranger and let it flow downstream.
Danger's mission is to furnish you with information that can help you reconvene your Burning Man experience-round. Burning Man is not an event. It is a movement, a force, a river, a culture with a thousand tributaries. We want to show you how to drink from these fast-flowing streams. The Silver Seed will bring you instructions and advice about how you can organize with other people and discover the resources that our community has already created. Take a ride on the gift stream. It appears from somewhere beyond the horizon. It disappears somewhere down the road. You can't really imagine where it might take you but you can begin to plan now to get on the boat.
Like Burning Man itself, the success of this trip will depend on participants. Plan events, share your stories on our website, and be ready to assist Danger Ranger while he is on the road. If you are somewhere along his route, think about meeting Danger at one of his layover points. Like a placid oxbow lake on a meandering river, Danger's route is subject to change based on available resources, mechanical failure, wanderlust and other acts of god/dess. The final list of Docking Stations and layover dates will be scheduled and announced as the trip progresses. The first step in getting involved is to join one of the Regional Burning Man e-lists in your area. You may contact Danger Ranger, learn more about his journey and follow his daily progress at http://roadtrip.burningman.com

Murphy skillfully reminds us that the politicians who seek to suppress our economic and political liberties in favor of a central plan are neither omniscient nor benevolent. FULL ARTICLE by Gennady Stolyarov II
Murphy on the Great Confusion

Why did you need to remind me of my terrible experience in AP US History Class?!
- November 25, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I started the book a couple of days ago and am enjoying it immensely. My only complaint is that Murphy's pace is not leisurely, which I'd almost prefer as a tonic against so many decades of misinformation from other sources.
- November 25, 2009 at 10:02 pm

Solstice is not cheap, but that's why it is so well worth it. Hands down one of the best meals I've ever eaten-and the first meal there was just as good as my 15th. The most tender perfectly cooked meat accompanied by the creamiest to die for Gouda Bacon Mac and a green. Never a bad experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When I arrived, they sat us at a table that would have sufficed for our party of four, but not necessarily comfortably. Plus we would have encroached on the next table. The hostess asked if we would prefer the bar area where she could combine two tables that would fit our party of four and the wheelchair much better, so we did. She was WONDERFUL to even think of that and offer that alternative. Above and beyond service! The food was incredible as always, but the extra mile they went for us was incredible.

Javier Hernandez was left heartbroken by the Netherlands' dramatic late comeback in Sunday's World Cup clash in Fortaleza.
The United striker came off the bench as Mexico surrendered a one-goal lead in the closing stages with Wesley Sneijder and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar taking Louis van Gaal's Holland through to meet Costa Rica in the quarter-finals.
Huntelaar, who replaced Robin van Persie as a substitute, converted an injury-time penalty controversially awarded for a foul by Rafael Marquez on Arjen Robben. The turnaround means Mexico have gone out at this stage of the competition for six successive campaigns but Chicharito insists there is no curse on El Tri.
"It is a very bitter pill for us," he explained to reporters. "We were another step closer to achieving what we had set out to do and, unfortunately, we could not do it.
"It's part of football, a distraction [from a set-piece] and then a very dubious penalty that knocks us out and, unfortunately, we have to go home.
"It's not about blaming the referees," he insisted. "They are only human and he made a bad decision. We cannot do anything about it. But it hurt the aspirations of a country and a team.
"This defeat was our first at the World Cup and it caused us elimination. That's football and you cannot predict anything. Everyone tried to do their best. In that respect, we're proud of the effort but not satisfied."

September 12, 2012
(AP) - A Virginia State Police trooper is being treated for injuries after a Jeep Grand Cherokee hit his parked vehicle in a work zone in Chesapeake.
State police spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Anaya tells media outlets that the accident occurred at about 1:25 a.m. Wednesday in the work zone at the Gilmerton Bridge.
Anaya says Sgt. V. Smith was sitting in his vehicle when the other vehicle hit it head-on. The emergency lights on Smith's vehicle were on to alert drivers about the road work.
Smith was taken to a local hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening.
Anaya says state police charged the Jeep's driver, 24-year-old Billinda Colonna, of Zuni with driving under the influence maiming.

Charlottesville Breaking News
Toomy triumphant: Ragged Mountain fire case fizzles
A man living near the infamous February wildfire that scorched hundreds of acres in Western Albemarle testified that he saw a distinctive male figure on a John Deere tractor ignite a ruinous blaze on a day when burning was not just illegal, but– with abnormally high winds– practically insane.
"I saw a person at the brush pile leaning over it and then backing off," testified Ivy resident Mitchell Sams at the trial of developer Alexander Toomy. "When I first saw it, it was just one little puff, as if you had just lit a small piece of paper."
That was as close as the prosecution could get to putting Toomy– a Drew Carey lookalike– at the scene of the pile in the Ragged Mountain Farm subdivision. But with Sams about 1,500 feet away and his view admittedly skewed by branches, it wasn't close enough to convince the judge.
In the six-hour, May 31 trial in Albemarle General District Court, Toomy produced a diverse array of witnesses and telephone records backing his claim that he was juggling hay deals and sipping a beer inside a barn while watching a televised UVA basketball game. Judge William Barkley required little time to rule that there was insufficient evidence to convict Toomy on the pair of misdemeanor reckless burning charges.
"Why did they ever prosecute him?" asks Andy Hord, another neighbor who testified to...
Why Waldorf? No vaccines lets measles hit hard
Did they fear an autism link or were they adhering to the Waldorf school founder's opposition to vaccines? Whatever their reason, the parents of the measles-infected Charlottesville Waldorf School student chose not to vaccinate, and they've now experienced the repercussion of leaving their child susceptible to an illness that was virtually erased 40 years ago. It's been gone from this country so long, says one health official, that many people don't remember measles as a potentially fatal illness.
"It's not in their mind anymore, so they're more afraid of the vaccine than the diseases," says Dr. Lillian Peake, head of the Thomas Jefferson Health District, who confirms that three of the four local people who contracted measles last month– including two children– hadn't been vaccinated. (The vaccination history of the fourth, says Peake, is unknown.)
Measles arrived in Charlottesville in May via an adult female who contracted the illness on a trip to India, says Peake. It wasn't long before that woman– who was hospitalized with complications from the respiratory virus famous for its signature rash– had spread the disease to a group that may be more vulnerable to such preventable disease: students at the Waldorf School.
Founded in the early 20th century by Austrian philosopher Rudolph Steiner, the Waldorf educational method is often praised for inspiring creativity and morality in its students and...

It's an American tradition, a father taking his child to a baseball game. At the College World Series, that tradition is thriving.
As fans filter in for day two of the CWS there is a slightly different atmosphere surrounding the dads.
Trey Stuart explains why, "it's Father's Day." It's an important day for him, "Because my dad works a lot, so I don't get to see him a whole bunch except late in the night, so I just want to bond with him."
Trey and his dad Ricky Stuart are playing washers at a TCU tailgate.
Just a few tents over, Ole' Miss fans chant in unison. Among them father and son duo Charlie and Adam Patrick.
"He's been following me around ever since he was big enough to walk.," said Charlie.
Adam is a full grown man, but it seems age only makes the moment between the pair more important.
"Any time you have your kid around it's special," said Charlie with a cracking voice and tear filled eyes.
It's more than baseball today, it's a time to make memories.
"My father passed when I was pretty young, and never had the chance to have some of these times with him, and I didn't want to miss out on having this with him," said Luke Hollimon, father.
That's why today, Hollimon stands close to his son Drew. The look on his face shows he can't wait to share America's favorite past time with his son.
Back at the TCU tailgate, the Johnson brothers understand that feeling. They don't care if there inside the stadium cheering TCU or just outside in the parking lot tossing washers. What matters is that they are doing that activity with their dad.
"Oh it just melts my heart," said Matt Johnson, dad.
The bonds formed today between father and child, are bonds that will out shine any game under the big lights.

October 2013 Update: Myspace recently announced that they now have 36 million users, up from the 32.6 million they had in June.
In addition to collecting and listing a billion social media stats, I take my stat geekiness to a whole different level by regularly analyzing the stats from my stats posts. Thousands of you visit these posts daily and I find it interesting to identify patterns in what readers are interested in.
For Hundreds More Digital Stats, Visit Our Digital Marketing Stats Resource Center
There is a more comprehensive post coming soon with more insights into what social networks people are interested in (shockingly Facebook is #1 by a lot), but one thing that I have noticed is that people are really, really interested in MySpace's user total. The amount of clicks on the MySpace link ranks right up there with some of the more recently popular sites, so I decided to look at MySpace a bit more in-depth.
Of course, you can't have a MySpace stats post without mention of what they once were, so I mixed in a few of their impressive stats from back in the day.
Number of MySpace users currently: 36 million users
Number of MySpace users at its peak: 75.9 million
Month/Year MySpace was launched: August 2003
Month/Year of MySpace's peak: December 2008
Estimated peak value of MySpace: $12 billion
Month/Year that MySpace was overtaken by Facebook in worldwide users: April 2008
Number of artists on MySpace: 14.2 million
Number of songs in the MySpace library: 42 million songs
Number of MySpace Employees currently: 200
Peak number of MySpace employees: 1,600
Location of MySpace currently: Beverly Hills, CA
Amount that NewsCorp purchased MySpace for in July 2005: $580 mIllion
Amount that Specific Media purchased MySpace for in June 2011: $35 million
As always, please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Some of these stats are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don't guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.

Repairs began Thursday on a sinkhole that opened up near U.S. Highway 127 north of Pikeville, Tenn., on Wednesday, officials said.
The gaping hole exposed at least one water line, an apparent underground stream and could have threatened the roadway if it had grown, officials said.
The repair work consists of filling in the bottom of the hole with large rocks, then "continue filling the hole with rock that will get progressively smaller until the sinkhole is completely filled and shored up," Tennessee Department of Transportation spokeswoman Jennifer Flynn said. The repairs might be completed in a day, she said.
Flynn said the hole was discovered by a TDOT maintenance worker who reported the find to the district maintenance supervisor and state geotechnical officials in Nashville. Officials monitored the hole until crews started repairs, she said.
"It's a very deep hole. It's approximately 30 feet deep," Bledsoe County Mayor Bobby Collier said on Thursday.
The water at the bottom of the hole appears to be an underground stream, Collier said.
To address worries that nearby, recently placed water lines might be leaking, utilities officials tested for chlorine but found none in the water at the bottom of the sinkhole, Collier said.
Positive tests for chlorine would indicate that treated drinking water was leaking, he said.
Collier, a former agriculture teacher, said he believed the soil simply was reacting to dry conditions and periodic heavy rains. He said heavy equipment used to install the water lines a couple of months ago might have contributed, but he said that was just speculation.
"It's well-drained soil," he said. "We were very lucky nobody got hurt. I think the tractors that mow the rights-of-way had mowed over it just two days before."
Flynn said sinkholes are fairly common in Bledsoe because the "mountainous geology" of the area makes it prone to sinkholes and rock slides.

Downtown Wausau business owners are hopeful the new 400 Block will help boost the local economy.
Construction has plagued the downtown area for years, but now it's completely open for business.
Construction orange has been a familiar color for businesses surrounding the 400 Block, but now that it's complete, owners hope they'll be seeing more green.
"It was difficult during construction most recently because ya know they had the street closed, but now that its done it looks pretty darn good, so we're happy about that," said Terry Koss, the owner of H.T. Cobblery.
Koss is optimistic the downtown attraction, which is complete with a permanent stage and seating, interactive water fountain and green space, will bring him more customers.
"It's a good spot, being right next to it there's no doubt about that," he said.
Koss took a dip in sales during the latest bout of construction, as did Malarkey's Pub, just across the street.
"When they were re-doing Third Street there were nights when they shut down utilities to our building after 9 o'clock so they wouldn't disrupt anybody else in town but it made it so we couldn't operate at all," co-owner Tyler Vogt said.
Still, Vogt is a big supporter of the improved 400 Block, and he says sprucing it up was worth it.
"If the goal is to bring more business, more jobs, and more tourism to the area this is a big step in getting that done."
And over at the Mint Cafe, owners are already noticing a new crowd.
"Absolutely we saw that over the weekend Friday and Saturday," Joe Pepowski said.
His wife Mary says customers Monday, the day of the 400 Block dedication ceremony, told her they'd never been to the Mint Cafe before.

While the pilot was maneuvering about 550 to 650 feet agl, the engine chip light illuminated followed by a complete loss of engine power. She performed an autorotation to a large, open field, flared high about 100 feet agl, then collided with the ground. The skids were found spread outward with the belly touching the ground. Two of the main rotor blades displayed evidence of coning. Post-accident investigation revealed that all components of the lubrication system were intact and functional. When the turbine was disassembled, bearings 6 through 8 were found destroyed and displayed evidence of heat distress and oil starvation. The number 5 bearing evidenced heat distress. The nos. 1 through 5 bearings and the gearbox were lubricated, but there was no visual evidence of oil present downstream from the number 5 bearing. There was scoring and debris present in the oil pump scavenge chamber. Over a period of about 72 flight hours and 1 1/2 months, there were 10 reported engine chip light activations. After three chip lights were reported, the turbine, gear box, and compressor assembly were replaced. Engine chip lights were reported six more times. The number 5 bearing and snap ring were found spinning; a new number 5 bearing was installed. The day of the accident, the chip light came on during a maintenance ground run, then came on again before the engine quit. According to the Allison Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual, 'a maximum of four occurrences of magnetic chip warning lights encountered within any 50 hours of engine operation requires removal of the engine for shipment to an Allison Authorized Maintenance Center (AMC).'
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

I am pleased to have this chance this morning, to introduce both the document before you concerning "Global Economic Prospects and the Decent Work Agenda" and, more generally, this session of our Working Party on the Social Dimension of Globalization.
This allows me to make some brief comments concerning the circumstances prevailing in the world of work and then to share with you as well, some thoughts about the work of the Working Party itself.
Firstly then, the global prospects.
|There are 30 million more jobless in the world than before the crisis; 40 million more have simply left the labour force.
There is a certain need to confront ourselves with these realities. But a simple lamentation of what is certainly unacceptable would equally certainly be a less than adequate discharge by the ILO of its responsibilities. Even – or perhaps especially – in this non-decision-making body our discussion must surely focus on how best the ILO can concretely contribute – along with others – to overcoming the global jobs crisis. Restoring to all people the dignity of a chance of a decent job, restoring to enterprises the conditions in which they can survive and prosper, and to societies their stability and harmony.
I believe we must act practically, responsibly, within our mandate, and – above all – with the urgency which comes from a determined common purpose.
If – we seemed all to agree last week – the ILO's task is to help get the world back to work, then this morning is the moment for us to roll up our sleeves and start the job.
All the more so because conditions out there in the world of work show few signs of improvement and many are getting worse. The latest growth forecasts from the IMF (see table 1 of the document before you) show that the expected further slowdown will simply add to the jobs gap through next year at least.
The danger, then, is of falling into a prolonged period of sustained high unemployment, immensely damaging, which among other things would set back the fight against global poverty in a manner we should not be ready to countenance. Just think, kick-starting the post-2015 development agenda, to which we will come later in this session, in this type of situation would be like trying to get your car to move forward in first gear when you are actually rolling backwards down a very steep hill. It will be very difficult.
|Kick-starting the post-2015 development agenda in this type of situation would be like trying to get your car to move forward in first gear when you are actually rolling backwards down a very steep hill.
Members of the Working Party,
Before this body, which is not just tripartite but global in composition, I am conscious that this crisis is not uniform in its impact. It is certainly global, but it is being lived very differently in the different regions and in your different countries. There are consequences to this unequal reality.
Firstly, some may feel that the imperative for action is really not so strong for them. A slowdown of growth from very high to only moderate levels may be unfortunate, may be inconvenient – but hardly a major crisis.
Secondly, there will be differing perceptions of who is actually responsible for this crisis. This matters too. Because with attribution of responsibility generally goes expectation of leadership in action to put things right.
Whatever one thinks of this, the reality of interdependence in the global economy nevertheless requires that our policy responses need to be calibrated internationally. It would certainly be a step back from the determined international cooperation which did much to counter the unfurling global crisis in 2008 and 2009 if individual countries or regional groupings cede to the pressures or the temptation to look inwards in the search for isolated solutions to their own pressing problems without reference to the global consequences. Such efforts would also be likely, I believe to prove futile.
The completion of economic and monetary union in Europe; addressing the fiscal cliff in the United States; major leadership change in China; and much else of vital national or regional significance is taking place. But the point is that each is of global impact as well, mattering to us all. And it is worth remembering too that in a world where, very soon, maybe next year, the economic weight of the old industrial countries will be less than that of the new emerging and developing world, that the constellation of global production, investment and finance in the world of work is undergoing massive, transformational change. Worth remembering too that Africa is enjoying its most encouraging period of sustained growth. And all of this needs to be firmly in our minds as we design appropriate policy responses.
And for the responses to be useful, relevant, practical, as I have argued last week all of the ILO's activities must be, we need to acknowledge as well, the enormous complexity of the issues at hand and calibrate the real opportunities for ILO action and the principles which must guide them.
|In Europe in particular, I cannot help but believe that the balance between social and economic goals is in danger of being lost.
Members of the Working Party,
In urging you all to focus on the key issue – and I believe that it is what the ILO should be contributing to get the world back to work – let me remind you too of what I believe was common ground between us last week for we have to be coherent in our own discussions. And I believe the common ground was:
- that the indispensable foundation for ILO policy advocacy and influence is technical and analytical excellence, and we are setting about the task of reinforcing that;
- I also believe we agreed that these efforts must be directed by the Organization's enduring values and objectives articulated now in the decent work agenda.
This morning's debate helps us focus on the layers of ILO action which must be added to this – regionally and globally. I follow in my predecessor's footsteps in urging deeper engagement with regional bodies – in each and every region. I see potential in more systematic interaction with the regional development banks, for example and will make a quick start on that.
In Europe, next April's Regional Meeting generously hosted by the Government of Norway provides real opportunity – not to be missed – to fix our role in a continent at the epicentre of the crisis.
In a similar vein, not only must the ILO maintain its visibility and protagonism at the global level, but must also use its influence bringing it to the table to have global institutions and groupings better address the global jobs crisis. Emblematically, it is the G20 which has taken the lead in crisis response and its leaders have, with the ILO and its constituents playing their role, emphasized the need for action to promote decent work – most recently at Los Cabos, Mexico, in June. And, in the light of subsequent events I felt it right to recall commitments made in Los Cabos in my statement to the IMF/World Bank meetings in Tokyo recently.
What I believe is now needed is for the momentum to be maintained under the incoming Russian G20 Presidency with which the ILO looks forward to working closely, building on what we will do together in a different setting – the important Decent Work Conference in Moscow next month. We will continue to contribute to the Employment Task Force's ongoing work, together with the L-20 (Labour) and B-20 (Business) and we will engage energetically around the activities of labour ministers.
All of this can only be strengthened by a corresponding strengthening of our bilateral cooperation with the sister international organizations which like the ILO input to the work of the G20. My first personal contacts with President Kim at the World Bank, and the Bank's recent publication of its World Development Report, entitled simply "Jobs", convince me that there is a great deal we can do together and much we

ISS's 3-D Printer Creates Its First Object In Space 69

from the made-in-space dept.
An anonymous reader writes: NASA reports that the 3-D printer now installed on the International Space Station has finally finished its first creation. After it was installed on November 17th and calibrated over the next week, ground control sent it instructions yesterday to build a faceplate for the extruder's own casing. The process was mostly a success. "[Astronaut Butch Wilmore] Wilmore removed the part from the printer and inspected it. Part adhesion on the tray was stronger than anticipated, which could mean layer bonding is different in microgravity, a question the team will investigate as future parts are printed. Wilmore installed a new print tray, and the ground team sent a command to fine-tune the printer alignment and printed a third calibration coupon. When Wilmore removes the calibration coupon, the ground team will be able to command the printer to make a second object. The ground team makes precise adjustments before every print, and the results from this first print are contributing to a better understanding about the parameters to use when 3-D printing on the space station."

Prison Beauty Pagents
By Maria Yatskova
Siberian Prison Beauty Contest
Photo Credit: Witold Krassowski
Amid these bleak realities, hundreds of women find themselves calling UF 91/9 home every year. Few sources of convict entertainment exist in Siberia, where temperatures in the winter can drop to -40 degrees. "We wanted to find ways to occupy convicts' free time," says Natalya Baulina, the prison's school marmish administrative head. "This contest gives prisoners an opportunity to feel like women, to dress up, put on makeup, and imagine they're connected to Russia's new freedom. "When I first introduced the idea to the women, they were in utter shock," Baulina adds. "The only pageant they knew was Miss Universe--women parading in barely visible swimsuits before male judges. They asked, 'How do you imagine we are going to do that?' I replied, 'We'll invent our own rules.'" The rules include each of the prison's nine sections picking one inmate to represent it, then creating costumes for three categories: "Greek Goddesses," "Flower Gowns," and "Imaginary Uniforms," for which inmates design their ideal prison uniforms of the future. Although the women admit that they'd never heard of many of the Greek myths or exotic flowers they will portray onstage, they are learning fast from books provided by the staff.
When the contest first began five years ago, supplies were nonexistent--the winner made her dress out of plastic bags from the prison kitchen. Even today, the women make use of whatever they can get their hands on, including pieces of the plastic plants that hang throughout the facility. Several guards and unit chiefs serve as judges, crowning the winner "Miss Spring" and two runners-up "Miss Charm" and "Miss Grace." A tiara will adorn Miss Spring; all three receive yellow sashes to drape across their costumes and goody bags filled with makeup donated by prison staff. In its brief history, the contest has gained a bit of notoriety; news crews now broadcast the event on local TV, inspiring other Russian prisons to host similar contests and fueling a debate between the media (it's good for ratings) and prisoners'-rights activists (the contest exploits the women). For the inmates, it's just another way to pass the time. Yulia Lutzkhak, 30, is serving four years for selling three grams of heroin. It was about 10 years ago that Lutzkhak's life unraveled: A miscarriage, a cheating husband, and unemployment led her into drug use. "I was on opium for three years, then heroin for a year," she admits. "I didn't have enough money, and someone asked me, Why don't you sell some? That's how I wound up here." Lutzkhak's sentence is up next April, and she's already planning for her new life on the outside. "I want to take computer courses," she says, "and then maybe work at an orphanage." She never wants to come back to UF 91/9, but she worries about the likelihood of finding work and the temptation to sink back into her old ways.
There is no program in place to help Lutzkhak transition back into society, although the government recently created its first-ever large-scale anti-drug campaign. Now, ads for special hot hotlines are springing up along the streets of Novosibirsk. The best thing to do, hotline experts advise, is check into a private clinic for treatment with "special medicines" (usually methadone, the heroin substitute). However, the cost of the clinics--starting at around $2000--prevents women like Lutzkhak from ever setting foot inside.

Although it may seem like a real bitch at times, being a one-man band has its perks. You don't have to share the cash you score at gigs, there's more room on the tour bus, and the groupies are all yours. Hopefully, Anthony Gonzalez is enjoying the good life touring as M83 (his partner, Nicolas Fromageau, recently left the tandem). The French electronic duo had been gaining buzz and drawing comparisons to Air (which may be the most famous French musical duo ever) before the split, but Gonzalez has trudged on and this year released a moody but hip album, Before the Dawn Heals Us. That's right -- Gonzalez can put out ambient, stylishly sexy sounds all by himself. The Walkmen headline tonight's show at Numbers; Mates of State also perform. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. 300 Westheimer. For tickets, call 713-526-6551 or visit www.numbersnightclub.com. $16 to $18.

It's her party, and she'll throw poop if she wants to. Celebrate her 25 swingin' (in the trees, that is) years at Kelly the Orangutan's Birthday Partyat the Houston Zoo. The event involves a custom-made birthday cake, a giant card, a raffle for an orangutan DVD and free bookmarks for Kelly's first 500 visitors. As if partying with a large hairy simian who's just turned the big two-five weren't enough to drag your ass out of bed, the zoo is offering up free ice pops to beat the heat (woo-hoo!). 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. 1513 North MacGregor. For a full schedule, call 713-533-6500 or visit www.houstonzoo.org. $4 to $8.50; free for kids ages two to 11.
Today, the Art League Houston is hosting Another Damn Gala, a benefit honoring the 2005 Texas Artists of the Year, the Art Guys (Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing). Entertainment by local favorite '80s cover band Molly & the Ringwalds, John "Red" Trower and the Pendulum of Death sounds damn fun. And since the Art League has been honoring Texas artists for their accomplishments and contributions to the community since 1983, we can forgive the ungodly ticket price. Oh, and unlike most of these stuffy galas, at this soiree -- and we quote the invitation -- you can wear "any damn thing you like." 6:30 p.m. Winter Street Studios, 2101 Winter Street. For reservations, call 713-523-9530. $150.
Sunday, September 25
The Orange Show is giving a free tour and talk about creator Jeff McKissack's homage to nutrition and oranges in honor of the Houston institution's 23rd anniversary. McKissack died while working on the Orange Show in 1980, but it was reopened as a nonprofit in 1982. Find out what it's like to love a type of food so much that you spend your entire life working in isolation building a shrine to it. 1 p.m. 2401 Munger. For information, call 713-926-6368 or visit www.orangeshow.org. Free.
The horrors inflicted by Hurricane Katrina inspired dance music heavyweight Paul Van Dyk to organize the benefit show Dance Music Cares. The event will feature Van Dyk and, fittingly, a slew of Louisiana talent including Gamma, Paul B Digital, Stephan Rideaux, Candice Elliott and more. All proceeds will go directly to Hurricane Katrina relief -- Van Dyk ain't pocketing a dime (which we think is pretty impressive). Shake it for a good cause at 7 p.m. The Meridian, 1503 Chartres. For tickets and information, call 713-225-1717 or visit www.77002.com. $20 to $25.

Mayor Bill White has been getting some fantastic national pub lately. So we wonder what would happen if it came out that Bill's into movies featuring -- gasp! -- topless teen girls. Scandalous! Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but we do know that His Honor is a huge fan of Peter Bogdanovich's 1971 film The Last Picture Show, which features a very young, very cute and very topless Cybill Shepherd. White will host a screening of the film today as part of Movies Houstonians Love, in which local celebs showcase and discuss their favorite flicks at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The series's other upcoming events include former Houston Comet Cynthia Cooper raving over The Shawshank Redemption, Dr. Denton Cooley dissecting Catch-22 and Alley Theatre resident Annalee Jefferies gushing over Barbarella. That's all well and good, but frankly we're still baffled as to why the MFAH never returned our calls to host a screening of Ernest Goes to Camp. Mayor White -- that ol' dawg -- hosts the Picture Show at 7 p.m. Brown Auditorium Theater, 1001 Bissonnet. For tickets and information, call 713-639-7515 or www.mfah.org. $15 per film; series passes $50.

When an ice storm leaves professor Lucy Guerin stranded in rural Arkansas, she's forced to accept shelter in the secluded home of woodworker Richard Banner. Handsome as sin and twice as grumpy, Banner is not quite what Lucy had envisioned when she'd added "eligible bachelor" to her Christmas wish list.
But his awkward kindness and rare, warm smile are more than she bargained for. And his reluctance to open his home--or his heart--to anyone is a challenge she's ready to face. Isn't Christmas the season for miracles? If only Lucy can entice Banner to slip under the mistletoe with her... Then she'd tempt him with a love he could believe in.

WHI-987 | How Does God Reveal Himself?
Can we discover truth about God outside of the Bible, or is Scripture the only true source of heavenly knowledge? On this edition of the program the hosts will outline the distinction between general and special revelation. In the former, God reveals himself through creation, and in the latter he reveals himself in the pages Scripture and in the person of Christ. Though we can know many things about God by the things he has made, only Scripture reveals his good will toward us in the Gospel.

text: On December 1, 2002, about 1025 eastern standard time, a Cessna 182J, N3529F, registered to and operated by an individual, impacted with a ditch during an aborted takeoff at the Transylvania County Airport, Brevard, North Carolina. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. The airplane was substantially damaged. The private-rated pilot, and two passengers reported serious injuries. The flight was originating at the time, and was en route to Birmingham, Alabama.According to the pilot, he performed "a thorough pre-flight inspection and he checked the flight controls for freedom of movement." He added power for takeoff on runway 27, which was 2,900 feet long. Upon passing a taxiway located about 2/3 down the runway, he attempted to rotate and was unable to pull back on the yoke, and applied the brakes. He was unable to bring the aircraft to a stop prior to departing the departure end of the runway, struck a ditch, railroad embankment, and turned about 180 degrees opposite the direction of travel.According to the FAA inspector's statement the airplane skidded off the end of the runway, and about 1,500 feet of skid marks were noted. Examination of the airplane's controls revealed that control continuity was "verified" to ailerons and rudder. Elevator continuity was confirmed up to the baggage compartment. The aircraft nose section and firewall were crushed, reducing the cabin volume in the rudder pedal area. The control yoke could not be moved and the control lock hole did not line up with the hole in the control yoke sleeve. The control lock was observed on the floor between the front seats. The right main landing gear and the nose gear had severed. No obvious evidence of an engine malfunction was observed and the pilot reported the engine was operating normally during the entire event.According to Cessna's report to the NTSB, the wreckage was viewed in a hangar at the mishap airport. Examination of the fuselage revealed that the firewall was buckled up and aft at the bottom, impinging into the passenger compartment. Other than the firewall damage, the cabin environment was not compromised. No evidence of fire was observed. Flight control cable continuity was confirmed from the empennage to the crushed section of the fuselage. Moving the right aileron up produced movement in the left control yoke. No such movement was observed when moving the left aileron in either direction or the right aileron upwards. The right control yoke was observed to be broken off at its attach point. The aircraft had been modified by installation of a Robertson STOL kit, which included STOL fences (painted the same color as the wing, and leading edge cuffs (bare aluminum). The system was said to have included the "drooping aileron" option. The control lock had a small red flag and the pin portion showed some polishing of the pin. The control lock pin was not straight. In the post recovery position, the hole in the control column did not line up with the hole for the control lock. The pilot stated he would normally store the control lock between the front seats. The control lock was observed on the floor between the two front seats. The elevator control cables were observed to be binding in the forward lower floor structure, which was crushed by impact. The control cables were traced through the airframe and appeared to be properly routed and attached to the rear bellcrank.
