Everlasting Love - TOVA
The imposing bottle chosen by Tova for her 'Everlasting Love' pushes to the limit in the trend currently followed by perfume bottle designers whereby the weight of the bottle is much more significant than is technically "allowed" for a certain capacity..
This bottle is built on a square base, where a huge mass of glass is concentrated, from which the four thick walls lift up and broaden, linking to the very flat shoulder. The stylish touch that gives personality to this design consists in the fluted vertical patterns that cover the whole walls, giving rise to an indented profile of the whole bottle.
The bottle closure is a glass cap, which follows the same fluted design as the bottle, and which crowns the ensemble, both in it's beauty and technical achievement..
The dispensing pump is hosted in the interior of the glass cap, where an invisible plastic ring ensures the fit between the glass cap and collar. The silver metallized collar is engraved with the name of the fragrance.
The final touch to the bottle is given by our special cold end thermolustre decoration, which perfectly mimics this same process in hot end production, giving our bottle a pearly and iridescent look, in a rainbow of colors that change their hues, depending on how sun's rays are hitting the glass bottle.
On a closing note, with this package, as with others we have developed in the recent past,, we can attest to our strength in the engineering and production of glass caps, which has become a recognized glassworks technology , allowing our clients to customize and enhance their products..

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn December 6, 2002, about 1541 eastern standard time, a Raytheon 58 twin-engine airplane, N241JG, was destroyed when it departed controlled flight and impacted private homes in a residential area near Fort Myers, Florida. The airplane was registered to KC Services Inc., and operated by the pilot. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 personal cross-country flight. There were no injuries to anyone on the ground. The instrument-rated private pilot and one passenger were fatally injured. The flight departed from Centerville, Alabama, about 1220 (1120 central standard time).The flight had originally departed from Rosecrans Memorial Airport (KSTJ), St. Joseph, Missouri, at 0903 (0803 central standard time), en route to Naples, Florida, with an intermediate fuel stop at the Centerville Airport (0A8), Centerville, Alabama. While in Centerville, the pilot contacted the Anniston Flight Service Station (FSS) and filed the IFR flight plan to Naples and obtained an abbreviated weather briefing for the flight. According to the filed flight plan, the pilot intended to fly at 200 knots at 7,000 feet. His planned route had him going from 0A8 to SZW (Seminole, Florida), CTY (Cross City, Florida), PIE (St. Petersburg, Florida), SRQ (Sarasota, Florida), and ending in APF (Naples, Florida). According to the pilot's family, the pilot did not want to fly direct because the airplane was not equipped for extended operations over water. According to the pilot's flight plan, he estimated the flight would last 2 hours and 30 minutes and he had 4 hours and 15 minutes of fuel on board. The pilot did not file an alternate destination. After departure from 0A8 the flight proceeded to Naples without incident. Aircraft radar data was obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) terminal radar approach control located at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), Fort Meyers, Florida. The facility is equipped with an Airport Surveillance Radar-8 radar system, which supplies data to an Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) model IIE at RSW. Radar targets for the accident airplane were recorded by the ARTS from 1434 to 1540. Transcripts of the pilot's communications with air traffic controllers were also obtained. The pilot attempted four instrument approaches (one at Naples, and three at Fort Meyers Page Field) prior to the accident. A NTSB air traffic control specialist overlayed the aircraft's radar data onto the various approach plates to provide a bird's-eye view of the airplane's flight track in relation to the final approach courses. The following is a summary of the aforementioned radar data and communications. Approach #1 (1440 to 1510)At 1440:05, the pilot contacted the Southwest Florida International Air Traffic Control (ATC) departure facility and informed the controller that they were at 7,000 feet. The controller provided the altimeter setting (30.06 inches of mercury) and asked the pilot to report when he had ATIS (automatic terminal information services) Sierra for Naples. He also informed the pilot he could expect the VOR (very high omni-directional range navigation aid) Runway 23 approach with a circle to land on runway 32. At 1441:28, the pilot called back and informed the controller he had ATIS information Sierra and confirmed the approach information.At 1444:52, the controller made a general radio announcement to all aircraft indicating ATIS information Tango was current at Naples. He then provided the updated weather, which at the time was reported as visibility two statute miles in light rain and mist with an overcast ceiling of 500 feet above ground level (agl). The wind was from 320 degrees at 7 knots and the altimeter setting was 30.04 inches of mercury. The controller informed all aircraft to expect the VOR runway 23 approach with a circle to land runway 32 at Naples.At 1446:01, the controller cleared the airplane direct to Naples and to descend to 5,000 feet. At 1447:22, the controller provided the pilot with a vector of 190 degrees for the VOR 23 approach. At 1450:44, the controller instructed the pilot to switch to Fort Meyers control (Southwest Florida International ATC south radar position) on another frequency after providing him a vector of 180 degrees. Once the pilot switched frequencies, that controller instructed the pilot to descend to 3,000 feet and to fly a heading of 130 degrees for sequencing. At 1456:58, the controller provided the pilot with a vector of 180 degrees and informed the pilot to "expect vectors across the final approach course for sequence" to which the pilot acknowledged. The controller then informed the pilot to expect vectors back toward the final approach in five miles, to which he responded, "I'll be waiting." At 1459:43, the controller gave the pilot a vector of 330 degrees and asked him to descend to 2,000 feet. At 1501:25, the controller provided the pilot a left vector to 270 degrees to join the VOR 23 approach. Thirty five seconds later, the controller asked the pilot to reduce his final approach speed and informed him he was 12 miles from the airport. He instructed the pilot to maintain 2,000 feet until he was established on final approach and cleared him for the VOR 23 approach circle to land runway 32. The pilot acknowledged and reported he was established. At 1502:16, the controller informed the pilot that two aircraft went missed on their approaches and one Piper Comanche just landed and a Westwind was ahead of his flight. One minute and 40 seconds later, the controller informed the pilot that the Westwind conducted a missed approach, and his radar services were terminated. He then instructed the pilot to switch frequencies to the Naples control tower, which he did.Examination of the aircraft's radar data for that approach revealed the pilot flew through the final approach (radial 055 from the Cypress VOR) about eight miles from the VOR. The aircraft's track then paralleled the final course on the northwest side of the course starting about four miles out. The aircraft remained on that parallel track until it passed the VOR where the pilot initiated the missed approach. The radar data for that approach indicates that the aircraft descended to about 500 feet (the minimum descent altitude for the VOR 23 approach circle to land was 500 feet).Approach #2 (1511 to 1527)Upon conducting the missed approach at Naples, the pilot contacted the Southwest Florida International ATC departure facility and requested to divert to Page Field, Fort Meyers, Florida (located 26.5 nautical miles north of Naples). The controller then provided radar vectors to Page Field and cleared the pilot back up to 3,000 feet. At 1513:37, the controller provided Page Field's weather information, which was reporting the wind from 020 degrees at 13 knots, visibility 3 statute miles in light rain and mist, an overcast ceiling at 300 feet, and an altimeter setting of 30.06 inches of mercury. At 1515:05, the controller transferred the pilot to Fort Myers approach control. At 1522:22, the approach controller informed the pilot he was five miles from Caloo (the locator outer marker and initial approach fix for the instrument landing system [ILS] runway 5). He was given a vector of 030 degrees and told to maintain 2,000 feet until established on the localizer and was cleared for the ILS runway 5 approach. The pilot acknowledged the clearance. At 1523:26, the pilot was instructed to contact the control tower. The pilot then contacted Fort Meyer's control tower and was cleared to land. The controller asked the pilot whether he was established on the approach, to which the pilot responded "yeah, I'm not quite established yet. I'm comin up on Caloo, but I'm not actually on the glide slope yet. Looks like I should intercept it here in just about a minute." The controller then informed the pilot that most of the other airplanes had been breaking out of the cloud bases around 300 feet and they were reporting 3 statute miles visibility in light rain and mist. At 1526:15, the controller called the pilot, and the pilot responded with, "yeah, I missed it. Uh, I'm going back up to two thousand and uh can you bring me back around?"Review of the aircraft's radar data for that approach revealed the airplane tracked toward the ILS on an approximate 030 degree heading and intercepted the localizer (231-degree radial) about one mile outside (southwest of) Caloo. The airplane maintained that 030-degree track for about another mile before it turned back toward the localizer. The airplane's track then paralleled the final course for about one mile before it made a teardrop turn to the right before rolling out on a westerly heading (making a turn to reverse course). It was at this point that the controller called the pilot. This all took place within 2.5 miles of Caloo. During the course reversal, the airplane track was observed descending from 1,100 feet (lowest point during the parallel leg of the inbound portion), to a low of 200 feet (as the airplane's track made the right turn to the west). At 1526:24, the tower controller began coordinating with the approach controller regarding N241JG's status. The tower controller informed the approach controller that the pilot initiated a turn outbound on his own and asked on what heading the approach controller wanted N241JG. At 1526:54, the tower controller instructed the pilot to fly a heading of 270 degrees, maintain 2,000 feet and contact the approach controller. The tower controller then informed the pilot that he needed to let someone know if he was going to initiate a missed approach. Approach #3 (1528 to 1535)At 1528:02, the approach controller asked the pilot for his intentions. The pilot responded by stating he would like to try the ILS for runway 5 again. The controller provided another vector toward the south and the localizer frequency, to which the pilot responded that he had it. At 1530:09, the controller instructed the pilot to fly a heading of 080 degrees and maintain 2,000 feet until he was established on the localizer. He also informed the pilot that he was about three miles from Caloo. At 1531:01, the controller informed the pilot that he was "just about ready to be established sir." Nine seconds later the controller informed the pilot he was going left of course and asked if he was picking up the localizer, to which the pilot responded he was "through the localizer." The controller asked if he was not receiving the localizer or if the pilot was just getting on it right now. The pilot answered he had flown through the localizer. However, the radar data depicted the airplane's track flying southeast toward the localizer, but turning toward the northeast (parallel to the course). The airplane never crossed over the final course. The track diverted from the course further, but then paralleled the final course for a few miles. At 1531:33, the controller instructed the pilot to turn to a heading of "070 [degrees] and reintercept. Your over the marker now." The pilot responded by repeating the heading and stating "I'm on it now." The airplane's track displayed it turning toward the final course. However, before the airplane's track met that of the localizer, the airplane made a left teardrop shaped turn, reversing its course. The controller asked the pilot to inform him when he had the localizer "locked" but received no response, he then asked the pilot to confirm whether he was on the localizer. The pilot stated, "Sir, I'm having very big difficulties out here. I've gone through it again and I'm climbing back to 2,000." The lowest the airplane got on this attempt was 1,400 feet, which occurred while in the teardrop shaped turn. The controller informed the pilot that the approach clearance was cancelled and instructed him to fly a heading of 310 degrees. He then informed the pilot to "just fly straight...ahead sir, fly straight ahead." The pilot asked if the controller wanted him on a 310-degree heading, to which the controller responded, "fly straight ahead. Just whatever heading you have now. Maintain 2,000 feet." The controller then informed the pilot to expect radar vectors the ILS runway 5 approach. At 1533:24, the controller asked the pilot what his fuel status was, to which the pilot responded, "it's down in the yellow." The controller asked the pilot how much that was in time and the pilot responded "practically nil." The controller acknowledged and asked the pilot to turn to a heading of 300 degrees. He then asked the pilot to report his flight weather conditions, to which the pilot stated, "I'm above the clouds at the moment turning two one oh over to 300." The controller informed the pilot that he could set him up for the NDB (non-directional beacon) approach, but the minimum descent altitude was higher. The pilot said no, and that he was trying to fly the approach, "with my automatic" and he was going to "have to fly it manual. I've got some kind of instrument problem."Approach #4 (1535 to 1540)At 1535:38, while the airplane was flying a southern track, the controller informed the pilot that he was going to turn him onto a base leg and would monitor his progress. He also informed the pilot that he was four miles from Caloo, gave the pilot a vector of 040 degrees, and cleared him for the ILS runway 5 approach. Following this communication, the approach controller contacted Fort Meyer's control tower and asked what the weather was at the airport. The tower controller informed the approach controller that the visibility was three statute miles and that most of the airplanes are breaking out of the cloud bases around 300 feet, which is what the tower was reporting the cloud bases.At 1536:51, the controller informed the pilot that he was flying through the localizer again and suggested he turn right to a heading of 060 degrees to recapture the localizer. Nine seconds later, the controller instructed the pilot to descend and maintain 1,500 feet and informed him he was over the outer marker and he was going to initiate the pilot's descent early. At 1537:18, the pilot repeated the clearance. At 1537:33, the controller instructed the pilot to fly a heading of 050 degrees and informed the pilot that he was going to convert the ILS approach to a surveillance approach to runway 5. He informed the pilot that the published missed approach point was one mile from the runway threshold and the minimum descent altitude was 500 feet. At 1538:01, the approach controller instructed the pilot to fly a heading of 070 degrees and descend and maintain 900 feet, and informed the pilot he was 3.5 miles from the runway and "very slightly left of course."The controller provided additional vectors and altitudes bringing the airplane down to 500 feet along the final course at the missed approach point. The controller cleared the pilot to land if he could see the runway; however, he also provided missed approach instructions (climb straight ahead to 2,000 feet) in the event the pilot could not see the runway environment. At 1539:20, the controller informed the pilot that he was less than a mile from the threshold at an indicated altitude of 300 feet. He instructed the pilot that if he did not see the runway, to go around. The radar data depicted the airplane on course for the last three miles of the approach. The airplane's altitude descended to 300 feet near the runway threshold. The airplane's track over flew the runway as the altitude increased to 600 feet. As the airplane's track neared the end of the runway, the airplane began a left turn and another descent to 300 feet. At 1539:52, the controller informed the pilot that he had radar contact with his aircraft and he was to maintain 1,500 feet if he could. At, 1540:12, the controller asked the pilot how he could hear him, to which the pilot responded, "I hear ya." The controller then instructed the pilot to climb and maintain 1,500 feet and fly a heading of 180 degrees. The radar data depicted the airplane track straighten along a southeastern heading with a climb to 1,200 feet. At 1540:33, the controller provided the pilot a heading of 230 degrees, but the radar data never depicted a turn in that direction. After the airplane peaked at 1,200 feet, it began a descent and turn toward the east. There were no additional communications from the pilot. The last seven radar returns were as follows:1540:17: 1,200 feet1540:21: 1,100 feet1540:26: 1,100 feet1540:31: 1,000 feet1540:35: 1,000 feet1540:40: 1,000 feet1540:45: 700 feetThe last three radar returns depicted a track that was turning toward the south. Upon seeing the last radar returns, the controller called the Fort Meyers control tower and asked if they could see the airplane. At 1541:32, the controller requested that they begin a search and initiated an alert 3.The airplane descended into a residential area and impacted a garage attached to a home before impact terrain. A witness to the accident site said he observed the airplane impact the garage roof and hit the ground as "pieces scattered." This witness indicated that the clouds were very low and almost a fog condition. Another witness heard an airplane departing the airport in instrument conditions with "low ceiling and no visibility". The airplane descended out of the clouds and he observed that it was a twin-engine airplane heading south at a low altitude, with the landing gear retracted, full power and a high rate of speed. The airplane was losing altitude and slowly banking to the right. The witness then ceased to hear the engines. He didn't see the airplane's final impact with the house. Two other witnesses, both residences located near the accident site, heard the airplane fly overhead. One heard the "propeller noise change abruptly to a very high tone, which lasted approximately five seconds. This was followed immediately by a large increase in engine noise as if the pilot added power to the engine." This observer (an airline transport pilot) noted the ceilings were 300-400 feet and visibility was 1+ mile. The other witness (a former pilot and FAA inspector) heard "a very loud and unusual engine noise, which lasted for approximately 7 to 10 seconds before the noise abruptly stopped." He did not "detect an engine malfunction such as a backfire or propeller surge, but an instant, steady high rpm engine (or engines) sound."PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot held a private pilot certificate with single- and multi-engine land airplane ratings. He also had an instrument rating, which was issued in May of 1998. Review of the pilot's logbook revealed he accumulated a total of 910.5 hours of flight time, of which 211.8 hours were accumulated in multi-engine airplanes. All of the pilot's multi-engine experience was accumulated in the same make and model as the accident airplane. The pilot logged 70.5 hours of actual instrument time and 65.9 hours of simulated instrument time. Between April 30, 2001 and May 30, 2001, the pilot completed a ground and flight instruction course at a Flight Safety International - Raytheon Learning Center for the Raytheon 58 airplane. During the course, the pilot obtained 16.0 hours of simulated flight training, 4.33 hours of actual airplane flight training, and 27.0 hours of ground training. The pilot obtained a third-class medical certificate with no limitations on June 21, 2002. AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe 6-seat airplane (serial number TH-1987) was manufactured in 2001 with two Teledyne Continental Motors IO-550-C (31) engines and the following avionics and instrument equipment:King 130A Encoding Altimeter King 285A Autopilot Mode Annunciator King 0525A Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) 30/400 King 0102A Directional Gyro King 0076C Transponder King 0225 Computer, 3-axis autopilot with yawGNS NAV/COMM/GPS 430 (number 2 radio position)GNS NAV/COMM/GPS 530 (number 1 radio position) Global Positioning System Annunciator Control Unit BF Goodrich WX-5006 Stormscope Weather Mapping System Honeywell RDR-2000VP Color Weather Radar, ART 2000 RADAR REC/XMITTERHoneywell IN-182A Indicator and MountingShadin ADC 200+ Fuel/Air Data Computer ARTEX ELT, S/N 65086, Battery date November, 2002 Maintenance records (in the form of work orders, endorsements, and major repair and/or alteration forms) were provided to the NTSB. The whereabouts of the aircraft and engine logbooks are unknown; however, the following information was gleaned from the aforementioned records. A weight and balance report completed by Executive Beechcraft Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri (an FAA approved repair station), dated May 21, 2001, indicated that the King HSI and slaving mechanism was removed and replaced with a Sandel EHSI (electronic HSI) and a BF Goodrich attitude gyro. The pilot flew to Kansas City, Missouri, to pick up the new airplane on May 24, 2001.On a work order invoice dated May 29, 2002, an altimeter disagreement discrepancy was noted. According to the work order the encoding altimeter was removed and replaced with a certified unit (up to 35,000 feet on March 11, 2002). On May 23, 2002, the airplane, engines and propellers received an airworthy endorsement following an annual inspection at Executive Beechcraft Inc. At the time of the annual inspection, the airframe, engines, and propellers accumulated a total time of 119.4 hours since new.On August 16, 2002, and September 26, 2002, the airplane was Executive Beechcraft Inc.'s repair facility for the left alternator kicking offline. On the August 16th work order they replaced the left voltage regulator. On the September 26th work order they adjusted the voltage regulators and soldered the fuse holder connections at the alternator. The last maintenance performed on the airplane, according to the provided records, took place on October 24, 2002, at an airframe total time of 168.6 hours since new. According to the work orders provided, there were no open discrepancies on the airframe, engines, or propellers. At the accident site, the Hobbs hour meter indicated 186.1 hours. According to the line service person at Rosecrans Memorial Airport (KSTJ), the pilot ordered 15 US gallons of 100LL-per/main tank prior to departure. The line-service person told the NTSB investigator that "the pilot only wanted 30 gallons because he was worried about being overweight." The line-service person was asked to fill the main tanks only. The flight arrived at Centerville, Alabama, and the pilot fueled the airplane with 60.5 US gallons of 100LL from a self-service facility before departing for Naples. The airplane was equipped with inboard left and right engine fuel cells, outboard left and right engine fuel cells and a box section fuel cell in each wing. The system provided a total capacity of 200 gallons, 194 of which are considered usable. The airplane was equipped with a Shadin ADC (airdata computer) 200, which is capable of providing fuel flow functions such as left and right fuel flow, fuel flow used, fuel remaining, fuel to destination, range, specific range, and endurance. METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONAt Fort Meyers at the time of the accident (1540), the weather observation facility reported the wind from 040 degrees at 11 knots, ceiling overcast at 300 feet, visibility 3 statute miles in mist, temperature 16 degrees F, dew point 16 degrees F, and the altimeter was 30.07 inches Hg.As previously mentioned in this report, the pilot filed a flight plan and obtained an abbreviated weather briefing from the Anniston FSS. After the pilot filed his flight plan, the weather briefer asked if he had the current weather and advisories. The pilot indicated that he obtained weather information a couple of hours ago, and asked if anything had changed. He added that he hoped things had gotten better. The briefer informed the pilot that there was an AIRMET (airmen's meteorological information) over Florida for icing conditions above 15,000 feet and that IFR conditions existed until 2100 UTC (1600 local) and that it looked as though it was going to be "foggy down that way." The pilot asked if they were depicting any rain and stated that they had been calling for rain around Naples in the afternoon. The briefer checked the weather radar and informed the pilot that there were scattered showers around the St. Petersburg area and south and that there were no Convective SIGMETS (significant meteorological information) yet. The briefer added that he looked like he was in "good shape" and that around the Tallahassee area and south they had cloud decks between 1,200 and 1,500 feet with patchy IFR conditions. He then provided the pilot with the then current Naples weather information, which at the time was reported as wind calm, 10 statute miles visibility, broken clouds at 1,600 and 2,300 feet, and overcast clouds at 3,200 feet. The briefer asked if the pilot needed additional information, to which the pilot responded in the negative. AIDS TO NAVIGATIONThe VOR approach to runway 23 at Naples is along a final approach course of 235 degrees to the Cypress VOR, which is located on the airport. The minimum descent altitude is 500 feet for both a straight in and a circling approach for both category A and B aircraft (categories are determined by the stall speed multiplied by a factor of 1.3). The circling approach required a visibility of one mile. The published missed approach procedures for the VOR 23 approach called for a climbing left turn to the Cypress VOR at 2,000 feet, where the pilot is to enter a holding pattern along the approach course. The ILS approach to runway 5 at Fort Meyers follows the localizer along a final course of 051 degrees. The decision height for the ILS is 265 feet with a minimum visibility requirement of 1 mile. The localizer approach (without the glide slope) has a minimum descent altitude of 440 feet with the same visibility requirement as the ILS. The surveillance radar approach for runway 5 required a minimum visibility of 1.25 miles at a minimum descent altitude of 440 feet. The published missed approach procedures for the ILS 5 approach called for a climb straight ahead (along the approach course) to 1,000 feet. The pilot is to then continue the climb to 2,500 feet while conducting a left turn toward SERFS intersection (which is defined by the 354-degree radial from the Lee County VOR at a distance of 16.4 miles). The pilot is to then enter a holding pattern.According to air traffic controllers, no anomalies were reported regarding either of the instrument landing systems on the day of the accident. On December 7, 2002 (the day after the accident), the FAA produced a flight inspection report (After Accident Continuation Sheet; FAA Form 8240-14), following a test flight of the ILS runway 5 approach. According to the report, both the facility operation (localizer, glide slope, and markers) and minimum safe altitude warning systems were found to be satisfactory. WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONThe airplane impacted a garage attached to a house at 26 degrees 33.36 minutes north and 081 degrees 49.49 minutes west at an elevation of 17 feet msl. A secondary impact point was noted on the ground adjacent to the impacted garage. The secondary impact point was located at 26 degrees 33.37 minutes north and 081 degrees 49.49 minutes west. The debris field extended from the garage to about 350 feet along a 220-degree course. A portion of the right wing containing the right auxiliary fuel tank separated and was found, along with the right aileron bell crank, in the garage near the initial impact point. Six feet of right wing, less the aileron and wingtip was located in a street. The right engine separated from the engine mounts and traveled about 75 feet across the street before puncturing through an exterior wall of a house about 10 feet above the ground. The engine continued through the roof of the house and eventually came to rest in the attic. The right propeller separated from the right engine forward of the propeller flange. The propeller hub and two of its three blades traveled through the exterior wall of the house and one interior wall knocking over a wall unit and television before coming to rest in the living room (the root of the separated blade remained with the hub; however, it was fractured just outboard of its attach point). The left engine separated from its mounts and was located in the street with its propeller separated from the crankshaft (aft of the propeller flange). The left wing auxiliary fuel tank was also located in the debris path. The aft end of the fuselage and empennage were intact, but separated from the remaining forward fuselage. The vertical stabilizer remained attached to the empennage and the rudder remained attached to the vertical stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer remained attached to the empennage and the inboard portions of the right and left elevators remained attached to the horizontal stabilizer. The elevator and rudder control cables were separated at the fuselage separation point, but manual manipulation of the cables had a corresponding movement of the elevator and rudder. The left and right elevator trim actuators measured 1.07 inches, which according to Raytheon investigators, equated to a 5 degrees tab up position. The rudder trim actuator measured 4 inches, which equated to 2.5 degrees tab left. Due to the extent of wing damage, aileron control continuity could not be determined. All flight control counterweights were accounted for and all wing attach bolts were found intact and secured to the center section and both front and rear spars.The flap actuator was measured at 1.75 inches, which equated to a retracted position.The instrument panel was separated from the fuselage and was destroyed. The sustained damage precluded functional testing of any of the navigational instruments. A number of the flight and engine instruments were found throughout the debris field. The following instruments were identified with the following indications:- Fuel flow indicator - separated from instrument panel; indicating 20 gallons/hour- Fuel flow indicator - separated from instrument panel; indicating 0 gallons/hour- Oil temperature/Oil pressure - separated from instrument panel; indicators missing- Attitude indicator - separated from instrument panel; indicating an inverted position- Exhaust gas temperature/cylinder head temperature - separated from instrument panel; both needles indicating zero (on opposite sides of gauge) - Encoding altimeter - separated from instrument panel; 30.02 inches of mercury - Airspeed indicator - separated from instrument panel; needle indicated 250 knots- Vertical speed indicator - separated from instrument panel; 850-foot/minute descent- Vacuum gauge - in place in instrument panel; needle pointed to 5.5- Fuel quantity gauge - separated from instrument panel; needle between 1/4 and 1/2- Fuel quantity gauge - separated from instrument panel; needle pointing to E- Engine RPM - separated from instrument panel; needle indicating less than zero- Engine RPM - separated from instrument panel; needle indicating 2,300 RPMThe landing gear control lever was found in the retracted position, with the handle broken off. The landing gear actuator was separated from the aircraft. All three landing gear were separated from the fuselage and wings. Both main landing gear separated from the gear retract mechanism at the lower end of the shock assembly. The nose gear was separated from the airframe at the nose gear strut. The two front seats (pilot and copilot) and two aft-facing center seats were separated from the airframe. The two aft forward-facing seats were attached to the aft fuselage/empennage section.The left engine sustained impact damage to the cylinder vanes, and the #6 rocker arm cover was destroyed and the valve section was destroyed. The accessory gearbox and magnetos were separated and the magnetos were found destroyed. The top spark plugs were removed and no anomalies were noted. The vacuum pump was separated and found destroyed.The right engine's magnetos were separated. The top spark plugs were removed and no anomalies were noted. The vacuum pump was separated from the engine. Investigators opened the vacuum pump and found the pump rotor and vanes intact. The #5 cylinder was separated between the head and barrel. The left propeller had two blades that were separated from the hub, each displaying s-bending and gouges. One blade remained attached to the hub, though loosely with its outboard 15 inches separated.The right propeller had all three blade roots attached to the hub, though loosely. As previously mentioned, one blade was separated from the root and located in the debris field. The fractured blade and the other two blades were twisted toward a low blade angle and the outboard tips were ground down and gouged. According to the Raytheon investigator who responded to the accident site, the fuel selector valve for the right engine fuel system was in the OFF position, while the left fuel selector valve was in the ON position.MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONAn autopsy was performed on the pilot at the District 21 Medical Examiner's Office located in Fort Meyers, Florida. The pilot died as a result of blunt force trauma. Toxicological tests conducted by the medical examiner were positive for ethanol from a liver specimen; however, tested vitreous fluids were negative for ethanol, which according to the medical examiner was consistent with postmortem alcohol production.Toxicological tests were conducted at the FAA's Civil Aeromedical Institute in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The toxicological tests were negative for volatiles. They were positive for an unquantified amount of amlodipine detected in the kidney and liver samples. TESTS AND RESEARCHThe two TCM engine fuel control units were shipped to the manufacturer's facility for further examination. On February 26, 2003, an FAA inspector, along with investigators from TCM and Raytheon, examined the units. The left throttle body and fuel metering unit (serial number A00KA060) had two holes punctured in the throttle body. The mixture control arm remained attached, but was bent, and the fuel inlet and outlet fittings were fractured. The fuel inlet filter was clean and free from contaminates. The sustained impact damage precluded functional testing of the unit and instead, it was disassembled and examined. No pre-impact anomalies were noted with the internal components.The right fuel metering unit and throttle body (serial number A001A304) sustained impact damage but was in a condition where it could be placed on a test bench and flow tested. Prior to testing, the fuel inlet filter was removed and examined. No debris or contaminates were noted. The observed fuel flow (measured in pounds per hour) was noted for various throttle angles during the testing. In all but the high-end throttle angle the fuel flows exceeded those called for in the target fuel flows. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONThe wreckage was released to the owner's representative on May 20, 2003.

- Votes are now counted more quickly and results are delivered faster.
- I implemented a new secure online ballot delivery system to our military and overseas voters to ensure they can receive a ballot anywhere in the world.
- Will begin offering Licensing Quick Titles May 1st to increase revenue.
Mary has lived in Thurston County since 1999. She lives on Lake St. Clair in Thurston County with her husband John, their two dogs Skipper and Daisy and their cat Jazz. She enjoys gardening, the outdoors, hiking with her puppies, sailing, camping, skiing and has taken up tennis again after a 30 year hiatus.
Mary grew up in Rockford, Illinois, spending most of her childhood on the tennis court. After school, she moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, and worked there for a few years before relocating to the Pacific Northwest where she met and married her husband, John Hall, then a self-employed computer programmer.
Mary worked with John in the family business, and became dismayed at the cost of healthcare. The healthcare issue motivated her to join Washington Citizen Action. She worked with WCA in 1990 as a field manager on national healthcare reform. She was also a community organizer bringing groups together to lobby for health care reform at the state level. Mary has learned that one person can make a difference.
While Mary was continuing her education at Clover Park Technical College in the accounting program, an opportunity presented itself to participate in shaping the future politics of Washington State.

Mary continued her education at University of Washington studying database administration and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Mary won the Pierce County Innovation Award in 2012 for her vision to integrate GIS and voter registration. This vision was a result of her experience redistricting following the 2000 decennial census. This integration made it possible to completely redraw all of Pierce County Precincts to accommodate the new 10th Congressional District and create smaller precincts.
The Thurston County Auditor's position is a natural next step for Mary. She will bring proven leadership skills, and 16 years of important experience to this position. Mary is committed to conducting fair, accurate, honest and transparent elections and to provide efficient licensing and recording services to the citizens of Thurston County. Mary will make sure the county continues to publish a local voter's pamphlet to ensure voters can become educated about candidates and issues. She will also explore creating voter pamphlets for all spring ballot measures. Mary is committed to reach out to the youth of Thurston County and encourage civic engagement by participating early in the Democrat process.
Mary is also known as Mary Johnson-Hall

text: Al Jazeera Employees Resign over Network's Islamist Bias Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 12 Jul 2013 post a comment As Al Jazeera America prepares for its national debut, employees of Al Jazeera's parent network are resigning in anger over the network's "unprofessional" bias in favor of Egyptian President Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood. MEMRI.org, a website dedicated to translating into English news sources from the Middle East, reported that one well-known female presenter, Fatma Nabil, resigned early in July. She resigned because Al Jazeera was reporting stories from the Muslim Brotherhood's point of view. The Middle East-watching website quoted Fatma Nabil as criticizing the network's coverage of the current unrest in Egypt. "We had the feeling that the channel is partisan in favor of political Islam, and in most cases selectivity is exercised in broadcasting the text messages [of the viewers] on the channel, and even more so in the selection of guests and interviewees," she said. Up to 22 other employees have also resigned in protest over the obvious bias that Al Jazeera indulges in favor of Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood. "This tilt by the channel has many facets," Memri points out. [C]ontinuous broadcasts of protest demonstrations by Mursi supporters at the Rabaa Al-Adawiya Mosque in Cairo, compared with the more limited coverage of the anti-Mursi demonstrations in Tahrir Square;[1] exclusive and continuous coverage from the headquarters of the Republican Guard on July 8, 2013, where dozens of MB supporters were killed by army gunfire when they tried to storm the headquarters where Mursi is being held, while repeatedly displaying pictures of the dead and calling the events "a massacre"; the vast majority of text messages from viewers that the channel runs as subtitles at the bottom of the screen convey support for the MB; an incident that the channel's correspondent provoked during an Egyptian army press conference on July 8, 2013, during which she attacked the army's behavior and was expelled from the auditorium by the other correspondents;[2] and claims raised in the Facebook account of one of the channel's presenters, Ahmad Mansouron, purporting that provisional president 'Adly Mansour is Jewish. MEMRI also reports that some attempts are being made by the Egyptian military and other anti-Muslim Brotherhood supporters to have Al Jazeera's Egyptian broadcast license revoked for one-sided reporting. Al Jazeera America is about to debut on U.S. cable systems. The Muslim-owned news network based in the oil-rich nation of Qatar, bought Al Gore's Current TV cable network in December of 2012. It netted Al Gore a windfall profit of $100 million. In May, the nascent network announced that it wanted to hire "800 American journalists" and has already hired several high-profile Americans such as Michael Viqueira and former CNN business reporter

Mitchell: Django — An action figure doll?
BY MARY MITCHELL firstname.lastname@example.com January 9, 2013 5:30PM
"Django Unchained" action figures.
Updated: February 11, 2013 7:36AM
Is it appropriate to sell collectible dolls based on the controversial movie "Django Unchained?"
With everything African-American consumers are grappling with, including how to keep from being shot dead in the street while trying to get to their local grocery stores, worrying about action figures ought to be the last thing on their minds.
But a line of action figures tied to the Quentin Tarantino movie is sparking such outrage that the Rev. Al Sharpton's civil rights organization is calling for a nationwide boycott of the dolls.
When NAN calls for a boycott, you know things are getting heated.
Frankly, outside of guys who like to gamble on collectible dolls with the same fervor as the guys who gamble on abandoned storage lockers, I don't know how many people will make a run on these things.
I can't imagine handing my 5-year-old granddaughter the "Broomhilda" doll and explaining that she was a slave until her swashbuckling husband rescued her from an evil slaveholder.
I'd rather give her a black Barbie and be done with it.
According to the websites marketing the collectibles, the dolls are recommended for ages 18 and older. More than likely, whoever buys these collectible dolls won't be giving them to children.
But there is a real concern among some blacks that white consumers will buy these dolls and some of them will get their jollies re-enacting atrocities of the slavery era. Seriously.
Others are adamant that there's something so distasteful about National Entertainment Collectibles and the Weinstein Co. selling the dolls, they shouldn't be on the market period.
I'm not going to say this is much to do about nothing. Remember the shackle shoes?
Last summer, Adidas was forced to withdraw plans to sell a sneaker with rubber shackles after the Internet exploded with criticism.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson threatened to lead a boycott in 50 markets if the shoes went on sale. And guess what? They didn't.
But before we get too worked up over these "Django" dolls, we should remember these dolls are based on fictional movie characters.
The dolls are dressed in period costumes and none, as far as I can tell, are shackled.
If National Entertainment Collectibles were marketing dolls in tattered clothing, wrapped in chains, or holding whips, I'd be appalled.
"Django" is an action hero — the guy in the good-guy hat shooting good-guy bullets. Not only is he the hero, he became a free man early in the story.
Frankly, I like the "Django" action figure a whole lot more than I liked the "Chia Pet" that was designed in the likeness of President Barack Obama and sported a green Afro.
Walgreens stores in Chicago and Tampa were forced to pull the quirky items from their shelves after getting numerous complaints from folks who considered the Obama Chia racist.
I'm predicting that will ultimately be the fate of the line of "Django" action figures.
The makers of these items shouldn't have expected this idea to go over very well. The more they stonewall, the louder the protests are going to get.
Slavery is the wound that won't heal.
No matter how much time passes, there are still people who are ultra-sensitive about anything connected to slavery.
Alex Haley, the creator of "Roots," got a pass because he was black and wrote about his family.
Tarantino doesn't have the same credentials. Even some of the people who enjoyed "Django Unchained" are likely to have a problem with these slavery dolls.
These action figures are not black memorabilia, which some blacks justify buying as collectibles because they are remnants from the long journey toward equality.
For example, consumers can go to eBay and find more than 1,200 active listings of so-called "Black Americana." Those listings include a Civil War era photo of an African-American slave woman for $275; an "original slave collar" for $249; a slave trader's letter of transactions from 1860 from Farmville, Va., for $395; A "Black Butler Americana Ashtray cardholder" for $900; and a "brass slave tag token badge" for $36.99.
I don't know who is buying this stuff, but no one's calling for a boycott of the website.
As movie heroes go, "Django" is a phenomenal one.
He should be an action figure.

Pattison State ParkActivities and recreation
The Black River cascades down Big Manitou Falls.
Photo © Karen Isensee
The park has over nine miles of hiking trails, offering stunning views of the waterfalls. The watchable wildlife in the park include almost 200 species of birds, 54 species of mammals and many reptiles and amphibians.
Camping at Pattison State Park
Interfalls Lake is a flowage and water depths often change after rain. Interfalls Lake is 27 acres in size, with a maximum depth of 13 feet and mean depth of seven feet. Pattison's 300-foot sand beach on Interfalls Lake offers an excellent sunning area, beautiful bathhouse and adjacent picnic area. The beach is unguarded. Don't swim alone and watch children closely near the water. Swim only at the designated beach; swimming outside the lifeline, in the river or at the waterfalls is dangerous.
Picnic areas
Pattison has three picnic areas with tables, grills, water and rest rooms. The largest is near the beach. There is play equipment near the main picnic area.
Recreational fishing opportunities are limited within the park. The lake does not support a population of sport fish. The Black River below Big Manitou Falls is occasionally fished, although numbers have declined since the DNR stopped stocking the area. Get current information on seasons, size and bag limits and check at the park office. All anglers 16 years and older must have a fishing license. In addition, anyone fishing for or keeping trout must have a trout stamp.
Hunting and trapping
Hunting and trapping are allowed in the open areas of the park during the Wisconsin state parks hunting and trapping time frame. Trapping is not permitted in closed areas as noted on the park hunting map or within 100 yards of any designated use area, including trails. Certain trap types are restricted on state park properties. For more information, please see:
Winter activities
The park maintains 5.5 miles of classic cross-country ski trails. Trail difficulty levels range from beginner to moderate. Three linked loops begin at the campground. Pattison State Park has a number of informal trails available for snowshoeing in winter.

Hawaiian Style Rentals mobilizes island sightseers with zippy two-wheeled transporters and expert-guided tours. Fully automatic standard mopeds pack 49 cubic centimeters of power that can propel riders to speeds of up to 40 mph?nearly the same speed of a saddled Road Runner. Following a brief lesson, riders embark with locks and helmets as they explore a complimentary map?s worth of suggested routes, including sojourns past Diamond Head Crater and the North Shore.
Momentum Multisport supports terrestrial and aquatic athletes alike with a gaggle of gear, repair services, and a nutrition center.

Meanwhile, the store's affable staff members can give landlubbers' pedal-propelled transporters a routine tune-up ($80) or a full-fledged overhaul ($180), repairing damage caused by spills, crashes, or prolonged exposure to maniacal trash compactors.

Activists will make it happen to bring YHOO to $52 or so. They invested billions in YHOO & will make it happen.
On good volumes..
Of course they are working on options to add values ..basixly he said people thinks they are stupid?
Today. Will go to test $59 & go from there when market a little bit stronger.
They have been shorting GPRO.
Ready to break to new high. $80 $120 rule. A number of acquisitions announced today even TIBX. CSCO will knock on ANET door to buy this great growth business. Yes, will be $105 $110 range.
They are expanding in many growth areas . Hotel tech, banking, etc beausr China has so much growth ahead for many years. Invest in BABA, wish to Own WMT GOOGL FB AMZN BIDU GS PCLN years ago?
Did you read the article saying BABA basically can get YHOO for free. Taxe advantage, etc. Soft bank I also a frontrunner, getting YHOO they will own a big
% of BABA. To me, either BABA or SFTBY.
Read all the materials available we can see CTIX has great potential to be a winner. Will move on to Nsadaq and funds can begin adding.
It should b at least $80 now after great ER last quarter & great news last night.
Short squeezed on a bad day, deep red tape is very bullish. First reversal day.
Absolutely. This is just the beginning of 3D revolution.
He said YHOO values is $48. The long haiir Pete Naj guy kept pushing it to $36. Other poster unEHTICAL. Posted only one thing!! Get lost
Great job!!!
Will be up another $10 tomorrow on BABA. BIDU is proven ,8400% up since ipo. They prefer BIDU than BABA, safer until BABA proves itself. From CNBC.
Great add. They have $100 target.
Be patient , it will get there. great growth & take customers away from CSCO. They have to acquire ANET or loose.
BABA growth YoY is 46%, SSYS is 67%
Forward PE 12/. 2015 only 41, low. They are talking about BABA to have 40 PE & said still cheap . Crmaer said BSBA can afford 50 PE. SSYS has better growth.
On the way there. Read the latest positive results on Sapien from Zacks.
$160 target on this crossing. Market a little bit stronger will break to new high.

For most people, the festival of Holi has been about water balloons, water guns, tubs full of coloured water and multifarious colours - but leading Indian TV actors like Sanjeeda Sheikh and Karan Grover urge their fans to play a "waterless" Holi.
Actor Raqesh Vashisth, who replaced Karan Singh Grover as Asad in the popular TV show Qubool Hai, reveals that he was initially nervous and the criticism from the viewers worsened this, but things are now under control as the support from the show's cast and crew kept him going.
Actor Raqesh Vashishth has replaced Karan Singh Grover on popular TV show Qubool Hai. He will now portray the character of Asad.
The actual Holi maybe a few days away but the TV stars have already started shooting for it. Different TV channels are vying to capture the audiences' attention by televising their Holi special shows.

You'll probably catch your kids or even yourself; sneaking a taste of these sweet nuts before serving time, so you may want to double the recipe. Depending on the humidity, the hazelnuts may be sticky even after they cool. But don't worry, they'll taste great. Try this basic recipe with almonds, pecans, or walnuts, too. These nuts are one of the stars of our Summer Salad with Butter Lettuce, Raspberries, and Hazelnuts.
From Food to Live By: The Earthbound Farm Organic Cookbook by Myra Goodman
|1 1/2 cups
|whole raw hazelnuts, with or without skins
|1/4 cup
|light brown sugar
|pinch salt
|1 large
|egg white
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (for easiest cleanup) or grease the baking sheet. Set aside.
Combine the hazelnuts, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Add the egg white and stir to combine. Using a slotted spoon or a fork, transfer the nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer.
Bake the hazelnuts until they are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the oven, leaving the baking sheet inside with the door closed for another 10 minutes to dry the nuts.
Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the hazelnuts cool completely.
Store the nuts in an airtight container, placing pieces of waxed paper between layers to separate them. The nuts can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. If the nuts become moist or sticky, recrisp them by spreading them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and heating them in the oven at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes. Let the nuts cool before serving.

Tragedy strikes in Warsaw, as one family is coping with the unexpected death of their eighteen-month-old son.
Police were called to a south-side Warsaw home Monday after a 911 call came in around 1:30 p.m. The home on the 900 block of South Union Street was later confirmed as belonging to the boy's babysitter.
The unresponsive child was taken to the Kosciusko Community Hospital but was confirmed dead about an hour after the call. The family is still waiting on an autopsy report, but was told he may have climbed out of his crib and accidentally strangled himself.
"That's the answer I need, is you know, how did he get in that car seat, and how could he have actually gotten strangled by a car seat," says David Brettell Payton's Father. "You know, I can't come up with a good scenario on how it happened. I'm just waiting for that answer. I need to know that answer."
The family says they were very close to the boy's babysitter and believe anything that happened was not intentional.

People volunteering their time and talent to help the local elderly were recognized.
The Jefferson Area Board for Aging, or JABA, honored 74 local volunteers with Presidential Service Awards during National Volunteer Week in Albemarle County.
Four volunteers received Lifetime Achievement awards for giving more than four thousand volunteer hours.
"It was so exciting and so nice to be honored for that. It was really just a privilege. It's been great volunteering for JABA. They're wonderful to do this for us tonight," said Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Leslie Reed. Reed volunteered for thirteen years at the upscale thrift store Twice is Nice, serving as a board member and volunteer coordinator. Reed also volunteers at Mountainside Senior Living in Crozet playing blackjack games with residents every other week.
"That is so much fun and they're just a treat," said Reed, smiling. "They have a great sense of humor."
Reed said she and her husband have been volunteering there together for about 10 years and that those visits make her greatest volunteer moments.
"It's really touching to see how much the whole experience means to them, not just playing the game, they have a great time at that, but, you know, a little extra for them is a lot."
"Volunteering in general has been really just a privilege, so much fun," said Reed.
Clarence Mickens also received a Lifetime Achievement award for 20 years of volunteer work in Scottsville. Mickens volunteers weekly at the Scottsville Community Center and the Scottsville Community Clothes Closet. JABA workers said he has volunteered more than any other volunteer, accumulating about 76,000 hours.
"I love all my good work. I'm proud of my good work. I'm gonna keep on doing it all the time," said Mickens.
Volunteers came from Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson and ranged in age from 14 to 93.
The President's Volunteer Service Award program encourages United States citizens or lawfully admitted permanent residents of the United States live a life of service.

As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, schools throughout Nebraska are holding tornado drills. Thankfully, it is rare for a school to be hit by a tornado, but as we saw last year in Joplin, Missouri and this month in Henryville, Indiana – it happens so students must be prepared.
The school district in Henryville has released surveillance video that shows its high school being torn apart as it happens. An EF-4 tornado hit the school about 3 pm March 2. Thankfully, school had already let out. About 80 staff and students were in the building when the tornado hit.
We have the video attached to this story.

I had one client come to me to lose weight for her wedding. She had to stop training with me before her package ran out because she couldn't afford to have her dress taken in anymore. Mind you, she followed everything I said, especially with respect to diet.
I had another client come to me who, when I asked her to perform a simple squat, collapsed like one of those wooden toys that you push with your thumb underneath. She had no coordination. Today she can do weighted squats with 65 lbs and is learning to do handstands and pullups.

Torchwood to air in US first?
The US air date for Torchwood: Miracle Day has been known for months – Friday 8th July on Starz. We haven't been so lucky in the UK.
We expected the date to finally be confirmed today as the BBC release programme info for the week up to 8th July. However, the show does not actually appear anywhere in their highlights, now pointing to a later UK broadcast.
Given that Miracle Day is a co-production between the BBC and Starz and therefore still part-funded by the UK licence fee, it seems very strange that UK fans will be forced to wait.
It's still possible the show could be added to the schedule as a late addition, but at the moment it doesn't look good.

Custom Ink was so easy to work with and the customer service rep I placed an order with (Mike) was excellent! Custom Ink even made a donation towards our walk.

As a composer, self taught musician, bassplayer and singer, he was greatly influenced in his musical career by the numerous and diverse musicians he has met.
As a bass player, he helped create several progressive music bands: DEXTER WARD, M.G.M. Trio (Brittany, 1981-1984), OPA-LOCKA (Laon, 1985-1988).
He then went on to record albums and tour with several artists :

In 1989, contempory dance became his favorite subject. His meeting with the choregrapher Josiane RIVOIRE lead him to write the score for shows like "Les petites affaires" 1989 and " Les tambours" (1991). He has also collaborated with choregrapher Liz NOAKES for the ballet "Feet Forward (Zurich, 1989).
1989 was also the year Breton music became the other major force in the developpement of his artistic career. He joined the group BARZAZ to record their first album "Ec'honder. And in 1992, he recorded the group's second album "An den kozh dall". He also joined the group DEN (from 1989 to 1991), and the group GWERZ in 1992 (recording of the album "Gwerz Live" in 1993).
