DALLAS - The National Transportation Safety Board says the crash of an air medical helicopter near Dallas occurred after its tail and rotor systems separated from the fuselage in midair.
The preliminary NTSB report cites witnesses who reported seeing the components separate from the CareFlite helicopter while it was cruising at 600 feet.
The Bell 222U crashed in a field in Midlothian during a maintenance run June 2. Both the pilot and mechanic on board were killed. The three-paragraph report says the rotor system hit the ground 200 feet from the main wreckage, while the tail landed 400 feet away.
The report was posted on the NTSB website Friday. A CareFlite spokeswoman declined to comment.

Not all in Franklin favor Northern Pass project
City officials have been outspoken advocates of the $1.2 billion project that would deliver electricity from Hydro-Quebec through New Hampshire. A Northern Pass converter station is planned for the city.
Mayor Ken Merrifield said the project is "very special" to the city's future, saying it will add jobs and needed funds for infrastructure improvements. Last week, the city announced plans to spend $1,000 in the coming legislation session to monitor Northern Pass bills.
That isn't sitting well with residents who oppose the plan.
"By appearance, the mayor is in the minority, at least along the route where the economic impact will be felt, primarily West Franklin," said resident Brian Hupper, who cited "gigantic" towers to be built as part of the project.
"What will happen is a devaluing of the homes along the route, with a corresponding decrease in taxes for the city," he said.
Opponent Ruth Niven, who works at the city library, said the city is being selfish.
"Franklin is part of New Hampshire. If the Northern Pass Project isn't good for New Hampshire, it isn't good for Franklin," she said.
"Northeast Utilities, NSTAR and Hydro Quebec want to use Franklin," she said. "A project that is being promoted as providing only benefits is instead a project that is all about profit."
Many opponents question the promised potential for new jobs in the city and the area.
"The hoped-for jobs will probably not materialize, unless Franklin has unemployed high voltage technicians sitting around waiting for Northern Pass to happen," Hupper said. "There will be some temporary jobs, such as tree-cutting and clearing, some for tower construction but again, those will go to previously qualified techs."
Hupper also doubts the long-term tax benefits.
"The tax increase that the city of Franklin is looking for may occur for the first few years, then the usual decrease that happens as the sub station gets devalued will occur," he said.
PSNH/Northeast Utilities spokesman Michael Skelton said the Northern Pass representatives have been meeting regularly with communities and businesses in the North Country about the job opportunities the project will create.
"On Wednesday night we held a meeting (in Franklin) with local businesses and contractors to discuss the jobs Northern Pass will create and the job opportunities that will be available for local businesses. More than 40 people attended and the response overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic," Skelton said.
Based on an economic impact study the project commissioned, the opportunities for Franklin and Merrimack County will be significant, he said. Of the 1,200 jobs expected to be generated statewide on the project, an estimated 300 to 500 will go to Franklin and the Merrimack County's central region.
"The total Northern Pass investment in Franklin is estimated at over $350 million. The total property taxes the project will generate statewide are estimated at $25 to $30 million. Of that, $4 to $5 million will help taxpayers in Franklin by decreasing local property taxes and providing a new, local source of revenue. An additional $1 million of revenue will go toward helping county taxpayers in Merrimack County," Skelton said.
Merrifield said the majority of city residents are in favor of Northern Pass. The Franklin station project will bring 500 construction workers a day through the city for more than three years, he said, with a jobs bonus for the city in a variety of fields.

"The river of human history is clogged with the putrid refuse of unworkable solutions to the mysteries and problems of Life: war, ruined civilizations, insanity, mental anguish, drugs, despair, murder, disease, criminality and starvation. We are victims of our individual and collective inability to find workable solutions to these unwanted conditions. Our humanity has long since been exceeded by the power of the wicked witches of science and government to destroy all life with nuclear weapons, alter our DNA and control our minds with psychotropic drugs and our lives with media lies.
Our thoughts and conjectures about life and the universe are often based on assumptions, unproven theories, hearsay, rumors and misinformation. Decisions we make in life may be based on ancient attitudes and archaic practices. Marketing spin replaces honesty when the financial, political or religious vested interest of wizards and witches are more important than freedom, sanity and survival. There are 12 common denominators that prevent observation, understanding, and workable solutions to problems of existence. How do each of these "Oz Factors" influence our history, science, philosophy, our lives and our future?"
--- from THE OZ FACTORS, by Lawrence R. Spencer
Download the Printed or Electronic book from iTunes, or the Audiobook from Audible.com
Excerpt from the book THE OZ FACTORS, by Lawrence R. Spencer --
"Now, Dorothy, dear, stop imagining things. You always get yourself into a fret over nothing. Now, you just help us out today and find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble."--Aunt Em
"Some place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. Not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away--behind the moon--beyond the rain, somewhere over the rainbow..."--Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz'
Most children enjoy playing games. Since Dorothy is trying to be helpful by staying out of the way of grownups, she makes a new game for herself called "finding a place where there isn't any trouble". However, every game contains problems. In fact, solving problems is a game. A problem is a barrier to reaching a goal. Every game has players. Each player has a purpose for playing a game. Every game has a goal and barriers to reaching the goal. The goal of the game is not necessarily known to the players.
Games may or may not have rules that are known to the players. Every game has a beginning, middle and end. Too many barriers make an unplayable game. A game without a goal or worthwhile purpose makes a game not worth playing.
Solving a problem or winning a game are similar actions. However, a Dorothy soon discovers, creating a new problem in order to solve an existing problem does not usually lead to the winning of a game or to a workable solution to the original problem.
A workable solution is solving a problem toward the attainment of a goal which serves the greatest good for the greatest number of those playing the game.
Example: Melting the Wicked Witch with water proved to be the greatest good for the greatest number of players in the Wizard of Oz Game.
Simply identifying the parts of a game or problem will often give us an external viewpoint from which to discover a workable solution to a problem.
Here are some of the goals, purposes, problems and solutions that Dorothy and Toto played in The Wizard of Oz:
Goal: no troubles.
Purpose: to live in a trouble-free environment.
Game: finding a place where there isn't any trouble (namely, no miss gulch or wicked witches).
solution: flying "over the rainbow" to Munchkinland.
Dorothy solves the problem of miss gulch by hitching a ride in a farmhouse on a tornado which carries her out of Kansas into the land of oz. However, this proves not to be a workable solution to the problem when she crash-lands her farmhouse and kills the sister of the wicked witch. This gives Dorothy all kinds of new problems!
Solution to the new problem: get out of oz altogether to escape from the wicked witch by going back to Kansas.
all of this results in a totally new game with a new purpose and a new goal and new problems, namely:
New game: find out which is the way back to Kansas.
New goal: get back to Kansas.
New purpose: find another place where there isn't any trouble (which is the same old problem all over again!).
Problem: solve the problems of a brainless scarecrow, a heartless tin man and a cowardly lion in addition to getting herself back to Kansas.
Problem: get the broomstick of the wicked witch for the wizard so he'll tell her how to get back to Kansas.
Problem: avoid being killed by the wicked witch and her flying monkeys.
Problem: make the great and powerful oz keep his promise to her friends.
Problem: the wizard is a very good man, but not a very good wizard and a very inept balloonist who can't get her back to Kansas after all.
Workable solution: Dorothy discovers that she always had the power to get back to Kansas.
As a result, Dorothy is able to end the game.
Games are a vast and complex subject. There are libraries full of books dedicated to the subject of games and solutions. Our entire existence is occupied in the playing of games, for survival or for pleasure, or just for the sake of having a game to play.
A game is ended when one reaches the goal or solves the problem posed by the game.
There are many types of games but in the physical universe there are two basic types of games:
1/ Survival Games
These are games that promote survival for the greatest number of beings.
2/ Non-survival Games
These are games that inhibit or prevent survival for the greatest number of beings.
Survival and non-survival are relative to what one conceives to be the highest attainable level of survival--infinite survival.
Like Dorothy, a game that many beings play is to find a place where there is no trouble. However, doesn't it seem that beings sometimes CREATE TROUBLE for themselves in order to have a GAME to play?
Beings often play a non-survival game simply because they think there are no other games to play. Apparently, many beings think that ANY game is better than NO game, even non-survival games.
We can each create our own games to play in our own universe. These games can be above and beyond mere survival. One need only decide upon a goal and take on the purpose of solving the problems or overcoming the barriers to reach that goal.
Historically, Wicked Witches and the great and powerful Ozes of the world are very poor game makers or goal setters, as they often serve the vested interests of the few at the expense or pain of the many.
War, taxation, physical and spiritual enslavement are examples of non-survival games which have resulted from creating a NEW problem in order to solve an existing problem. These do NOT lead to workable solutions to the original problems.
Obviously, atomic bombs are not a workable solution to any problem. This is a game which no one can win.
Games are won with workable solutions."

|I am interested in GOG's and would like to know if anyone has any info on how I would go about building a light box. What kind of glass would you use to go on top and what is the best kind of light bulb?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Sat, Jul 25, 09 at 10:56
|When you say light box, do you mean you want to make a light box that will be a GOG? Like a shadow box? Or do you mean a light box that you can use to look at the glass colors to pick out(a tool, so to speak)
- Posted by wackyweeder (My Page) on Sat, Jul 25, 09 at 11:01
|I have seen people make their own in a variety of ways...the glass on top needs to be frosted underneath, you can use a frosting spray or buy a piece of frosted glass, it also needs to be able to bear the weight of what you are setting on it. even plexiglass would work fine if it was frosted. Most use flourescent light sources I think mainly to because of heat...delphi I believe sells a cheap light box that you simply insert a GE bright stick flourescent light into. The bottom and sides need to be reflective...bright white or foil to maximize your light output and prevent shadows . Someone on another forum made one from an old bathroom vanity they were replacing. It doesnt have to be fancy. Good luck with it!
- Posted by brendak_59 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 25, 09 at 15:53
|Thanks for the help. I didn't know the top glass needed to be frosted or that the sides and bottom needed to be reflective. Glad I asked before starting. I always learn alot on this forum. Thanks again.
|Brendak...I have two...where do you live? If you live anywhere near OKC I'll give you one of mine. Neither of mine have frosted glass or are reflective inside tho. They are just wooden boxes made out of 1x4s and a back. One has a plexiglass front and the other real glass. They both have normal light bulbs mounted across from each other inside. They both work fine but I use the plexiglass one the most just because I'm afraid I'll drop something on the glass one and shatter it...I'm pretty clumsy...:)

|Hey, Slow lives in Texarcana, that's close to you isn't it? Anyhoo, I don't have frosted glass on my light box that I use to do actual stained glass on, I like super brightness of it. And now I am pondering about making my Chihuahua plaque as a shadowbox/lightbox now, and I won't be diffusing the light, I like the idea of using some christmas led lights in it...hmmm, maybe use some 1x3 and 1/4inch plywood...hmmm, now ya got me thinkin'!!! There is actually all kinds of lighting that could be used, if ya have a mind to go outside the box!lol! Oh, and my light box has florescent tube lighting in it, I use the "natural" light tubes(more like real sunlight)
- Posted by brendak_59 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 26, 09 at 14:13
|I was given a counter top with a hole cut for a sink and thought that would be a good place to put a light box. I'm still working on my craft building and trying to get everything set up temporarily to make something. I'm waiting on a set of kitchen cabinets that a friend is giving me as soon as her new cabinets are made.
I still have time to figure out what to do about the box. Thanks for all the advice.
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Sun, Jul 26, 09 at 22:42
|Ahhh, so it is for stained glass then!!! It doesn't have to be very deep, just deep enough to cover your light and a inch or so, and I'd say screw the box together so you can change bulbs when you need to. Hope you share pics of the making of this!!!
|What a great idea! That would be very handy to have and it's sunk in even with your countertop. Mine is such a hassle to use because both are heavy and I hate to give up counter space for it. I do use it a lot under my project. I put whatever I"m working on on saw horses usually and then put the light box on the floor under that. Sometimes it's helpful. We'd love to see it when you get it all done.
- Posted by wackyweeder (My Page) on Sun, Jul 26, 09 at 23:27
|Oh a countertop with a hole cut in it would be perfect! Just mount some lights under there and go for it! The reasona lot of boxes use flouro is beacuae they put out less heat than incandescents, but if you have lots of room under your light surface, thats less of a problem. Frosted glass keeps you from being distracted by whats under the glass is all...a sheet of paper taped to it would do the same thing. Let us see what you do!
- Posted by brendak_59 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 27, 09 at 19:12
|Thanks Calamity. I'm glad you thought of screws for the box. I would have been in a pickle if my lights went out and had to tear my box apart to change the bulb.
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Mon, Jul 27, 09 at 21:44
|Oh!!! What about putting one side with hinges so it could be opened, with a clasp of some kind to hold it closed!?! Kinda like a cabinet door?!
- Posted by brendak_59 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 27, 09 at 23:11
|Calamity are you saying cover the box with maybe a piece of board to use as a work space when light box isn't being used?
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Tue, Jul 28, 09 at 10:49
|That would be a good idea too, but I mean about the box part underneath, use hinges to attach it to the table top. Also a consideration to remember is to ask yourself what height you want your table, do you want it kitchen table height, or kitchen countertop height, as in how much bending over this will you want to do?! I also have my work table on wheels so I can move it around if I need to.
Which I do surprisingly a lot..to sweep, just all kinds of reasons...but you may be using it as a stabalized bench against a wall?. Here is a pic when I was putting my Art Room together(too messy right now to show!lol) Different from what you are doing, lightbox is off to the side...I also have a bigger light box that I use so I can cut on one,(don't do the pattern cutting thing, I cut/trace), and one to set my project on, I like it that way, having 2 boxes, but that's me....I'm not doing any stained glass projects right now so have the other lightbox stored out in the shed. My Art room is about 11x20 and I have it Crammed with tesserae, stained glass, etc,so no room for 2 boxes till I reorganize!!!lol! It's kinda sad, but DH doesn't want the windows "cluttered" with stained glass, so the panels I wanted to do have been put on hold....
Here is a link that might be useful: Art Room

|Thanks for the pic and ideas. You have given me alot to think about. I love your work space and work table. All I have for light now is a small lamp and that kitchen counter and a desk. I think I will see about putting the counter top on wheels. Hopefully I will get my ceiling and my light fixtures this weekend. I know I'm trying to move in way before my room is ready but I am having a hard time waiting. Seems no one wants to move as fast as I want them to. What is your table top made of?
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Tue, Jul 28, 09 at 22:35
|Oh Do I Hear Ya!!! I was practically frothing at the mouth to get into my room!!! I had to wait for the floor and just wanted to leave it bare concrete so I wouldn't have to wait!!!lol! I've just been talking to Klinger who is getting ready to move into her Studio(YIPEEE!!!) and we were just talking about all this, and I recommend a table on wheels and a hanging flourescent light(the cheap workshop kind) hanging right over the table, with the more like sun, bulbs, and the only thing I would change is that I bought a nice thick plywood for the surface, but didn't know there was different grades...thuse I have dips and grains running thru it so it isn't the greatest for cutting on as it isn't a level surface!!!grrrr, but as I do most of my cutting on the light box, it's okay. I cut right on top of the glass of the lightbox!!! No problem! Well, there is usually a pattern underneath it...I am SURE you can make do with a desk and a countertop, just get some shelves for your tesserae and such...I also found a sort of filing cabinet/shelf that I turned on it's side to place/store my glass in, works like a charm!!! I purposely put this near the window so as I pull out the glass from the shelves(cubbyholes), I can see thru the glass with the light from the window...I got a lot of my ideas from here, but we seem to be more about mosaics these days(faster and more forgiving!lol)Anyhoo, My Art Room is always evolving!!! I really liked the idea that Flag used for her Studio and had to copy it about using glass jars as a way to store my tesserae, and I built the narrow(1x4) shelves..Love em!!!(In this pic you can see the glass shelf, glass saw and grinder and lightbox, all handy to my table/w/the light above)Oh, plus I have 2 of those magnifying lights, one on the table and one on the glass saw/grinder table!) Handy lil devils!!! And on the rollng table I attached a powerbar to plug my solder iron and light and tumbler etc into....I just wanted to say that this post has inspired me so much, by chatting about all this, that I am CLEANING up my room!!!!lol!!! So I can get in there and enjoy it again!!!ha!

Good evening everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to the Sks rifle. I was wondering if anyone has had luck with permanently attaching a Tapco 20 rd magazine and reloading using stripper clips. I apologize if this question has already been brought up in earlier forums.
P.s I forgot to mention using the original wood stock.

I've tried different mags on my norinko ad had nothing but trouble, your best to just leave the original 10rd mag in
It, the stripper clips feed real smooth in them, not so much with other mags. I have also had jamming issues with aftermarket mags. If you want 30+ round action get a sks sporter. Which takes standard AK mags or even better just get an AK47 and be done with it.
I have the 20 round Tapco mags. I have 2. They both work great. But I use them with the Tapco stock. They are supposed to work with the wood stock. But the stock must be modified. I have not tried it.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
They should work. the wood stock might need to be cleared back a bit around the mag. Or if you have the orgnial stock it's the mag that needs alittle sanding
Just installed a zeypher 30 round mag on my sks, needed no mod to the mag or wood stock. Just make sure the bolt is locked open,push the trigger housing release behind the trigger gaurd, lift trigger group up and out, same with the box mag, install trigger group then new mag, front(tab) first, then slide back end into place . I've seen a good youtube video explaining this better. My mag also came with a little loader tool to

After an unremarkable, most would say disappointing, nonconference season, Michigan appears less than the team many predicted in August.
The Wolverines deserve to be unranked, have played two offensive stinkers (one without moving the ball vs. Alabama and one without scoring vs. Notre Dame) and two defensive duds (vs. Alabama and vs. Air Force). Their best player, Denard Robinson, has been maddeningly inconsistent and their defense still is looking for consistent rotations.
Yet the key preseason goal in Schembechler Hall, to win the Big Ten title, appears just as possible as those ...

My last batch of Bohemian lager had a distinctive metallic aftertaste which I traced back to a stainless steel scrub pad that I had placed at the base of the dip tube on my cornelius keg as a filter. The beer was fine until I racked it into the keg and added the filter... seemed like a good idea at the time. After about a day a very noticeable metallic aftertaste developed. I removed the stainless pad but the taste lingered.
EDTA is commonly used to chelate metallic flavors out of food products which can occur during processing. Specifically, Dow sells a product called Versene (I bought some plain old EDTA off of eBay, about $8 for 1lb). Large scale brewers may also use it as a foam stabilizer. It is added to many different food products as a color and flavor preservative. The Dow literature recommends 30 ppm concentration; it is safe in concentrations much, much higher.
Long story short, I added 500 mg to 19L of beer (about 1/4 teaspoon) and the metallic flavor disappeared instantly. Note: 1 ppm = 1 mg/kg. 19L = approx 19 kg. so 500 mg/19 kg = 26 ppm
Has anyone else tried this technique?
First I've ever heard of it, but it sounds like a good emergency technique. Maybe you can add it to the wiki?
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
You can also add it to oxy clean and have something almost resembling a suitable detergent for brewing applications.
I wish I knew that a few batches ago. Wish there was a product to remove the taste of "burnt mash." Coulda used that this summer
You have to be carefull with it in nucleic acid purifications as it will chelate many enzyme cofactors used in later modification steps (ie. binding of Mg required for DNA polymerase). Oops... sorry, wrong forum
I think it does apply! That is apparently the mechanism for the preservative properties of EDTA... enzyme deactivation by chelating metallic co-factors. Not sure which beer bugs would be inhibited, though.
Added the sodium salt.

Stallion Transportation's Butch Rice on the Biggest Challenge Facing the Trucking Industry
Posted 6/30/2014 12:00 am
In 1992, Garland E. "Butch" Rice opened Stallion Transportation Group with two employees in a 450-SF office in North Little Rock. Today, the company occupies an 18,100-SF office, a 12,000-SF maintenance facility and an 11-acre drop yard at its headquarters in Beebe. Stallion Transportation has 128 employees, 74 tractors, 180 dry van trailers and gross sales of $40 million. Rice also owns Classic Promotions LLC, a corporate apparel company, and Rice Racing Stable LLC, which races, breeds and sells thoroughbred horses.
Born in 1962, Rice grew up in Rose City and attended North Little Rock Northeast High School. He continued his education at Arkansas Tech University and Arkansas State University at Beebe. Rice serves on the boards of the Arkansas Trucking Association and the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance and is a member of the ASU-Beebe Chancellor's Circle.
Tell us about Stallion these days: What services does it offer, how many employees do you have, what kind of growth do you anticipate and in what areas?
Stallion Transportation Group is much more than the generally accepted version of a trucking company. We are a close-knit group of talented people working together to give first-class service to our customers while maintaining outstanding safety programs for our drivers. Stallion is a full-service transportation provider. We offer long-haul service, regional service, dedicated trucking service and warehousing service. We expect to add employees to accommodate our growth in our regional services department, which includes our same-day pickup and delivery service. This is the area where I see Stallion concentrating our efforts to make sure our drivers have more home time due to the new hours of service rules.
Trucking is much in the news lately, with corporate consolidations and big moves by companies like ArcBest. Is something fundamental changing in your industry?
One of the fundamental changes that our industry faces is one geared to the drivers' time. We are on a clock working backwards with the constraints we have in place. The shippers and carriers should get on the same page to accommodate the time constraints and related costs that affect the very drivers and product we are moving.
What's the biggest challenge you have at Stallion and how are you approaching it?
The biggest challenge we have currently would be our driver shortage. This shortage not only affects Stallion but the entire industry. We are continuing to raise the bar for our drivers. I have always felt that without our drivers, Stallion and our industry would cease to exist, and I still believe that today. The drivers at Stallion are highly respected, they are not just a truck number, and they are family. That is my approach to our drivers and it will continue as my approach; they are the backbone of Stallion.
You were one of our 40 Under 40 honorees back in 2002, and that was 10 years after you founded Stallion. What would you say is the smartest business decision you ever made?
With the future and the owner-operators' accountability being uncertain, one of the best business decisions that I have made in my career was when I decided to open Stallion Express Inc., an asset-based company. Having our own equipment ensured we have the best equipment available for our customers' freight.
Sometimes our worst decisions can be more educational than our best. What was the biggest mistake you've made in business?
I am not sure that I would consider this a mistake, but it is the biggest learning experience that I am still learning today. As the people closest to me have said, I am too trusting and giving. As a company owner, I have had to learn to say the word "No." That is a very hard lesson for me, because I want everyone to feel like I am there for him or her whether it is personally or professionally.

Bobs your Uncle
RE: Nelles photos
We came all the way from central California to fulfill you request. (just kidding) My father and I are visiting family near there and decided to check out the local cemetery. There were 430 burials listed but we noticed the cemetery was about double that size. So over the last two weeks (weather permitting) we each picked a section and going row by row we photographed every single visible headstone there. My sister said years back there was a bad flood and the whole area was underwater. We noticed there appeared to be some missing headstones and some were unreadable. We still photographed them anyway.
I was happy to find the one that you requested. There are a couple more requests that I'm afraid we may not be able to fulfill as we are almost done processing our photos.
I will be happy to transfer her husband into your care.
Best regards,
Margaret Ballinger

Muscle Guy Troy Returns to the Gloryhole
Troy, from my earlier "Hot Muscle Guy" vid, is back. He is built, good looking and has a thick, responsive cock. He has no problem getting girls, but he appreciates that dudes give the best head. He's also a nice guy. He's very verbal in this vid. I got him a little too close and he let out a good spurt before I went back down and finished the job.

On The Job (2013)
Mario (Joel Torre)and Daniel (Gerald Anderson) are convicts who are being sneaked out of prison and hired as hit men by a powerfully-connected syndicate. Mario is set for retiring since he is to be released from prison already, while Daniel is his apprentice and heir-apparent. After they bungle a job to execute a policeman, the secure web of protection around them begin to unravel as an idealistic NBI lawyer Francis Coronel Jr. (Piolo Pascual) and a maverick but honest policeman PO1 Joaquin Acosta (Joey Marquez) threaten to throw this assassination ring wide open to its highest levels. "On the Job" is a gritty, honest, no-holds-barred Filipino film. The script by Michiko Yamamoto and Erik Matti fearlessly trace the operations of this gun-for-hire business from the lowly trainees to the gunmen to the middlemen (Vivian Velez) to the connections inside the prison (William Martinez) to the police protectors (Lito Pimentel) to the higher echelons of the military. We also get to peek into the family lives of these men. Mario has a wife (Angel Aquino) who is cuckolding him and a daughter (Empress Schuck) in law school. Francis is married to the daughter (Shaina Magdayao) of a lawmaker (Michael de Mesa) who is the pawn of a corrupt general (Leo Martinez). Joaquin has been at odds with his boss, stuck at being PO1 even after 30 years of service, with a harried wife (Rosanna Roces) and a drug pusher as a son (JM de Guzman). The theme and the style is indie but the stars are big names. It may be considered distracting for indie purists, but this stunt casting of actors against type was actually part of the charm of this film. I have to admit though that the most difficult casting decision to accept was Gerald Anderson, not only because of his attractive mestizo looks (hitmen should not be too conspicuous, should they?), but because he had to act side by side with the flawless Joel Torre. Torre was a man possessed in this role, he was never out of character up to the very end, always very believable and realistic. Piolo Pascual postured a lot in the start, which made his characterization unconvincing at first. However when he got into the groove of his character, especially in the second half, he will get us over on his side. Joey Marquez was a puzzling choice of an actor for a character in this film. At first, during the teasers, I thought he was badly miscast in this role as a cop. But as I was watching the film, I realized the wisdom of his casting. He was key in providing the moments which served to lighten the intense mood this film creates. The technical aspects of the film are very good, particularly the cinematography and the film editing. The atmosphere created was very tense and exciting. The suspense was unbearable as the pacing is frenetic and you would not know what will happen with succeeding scenes. This film is NOT predictable. Despite being an excellent film, there are some cons, but relatively minor issues only. I have already mentioned how the casting of Anderson stretched believability. Also, the addition of what seemed to be unnecessary sex scenes for both Anderson and Pascual sort of derailed from the story a bit.

As of today, we've done 711 this month. Should we make it a collective goal to get to 1000 by the end of the month? Maybe that's too easy since it gives us 13 days. Should we shoot for 1300? That would be doing more per day than we've done so far.

Sleep with Neanderthals? Apparently we (homo Sapiens) did
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Though it's been 150 years since mysteriously humanlike bones first turned up in Germany's Neander Valley, the find continues to shake our collective sense of human identity.
Neanderthals are humanity's closest relatives, with brains at least as big as ours, and yet we don't know whether we should include them as members of our own species.
No longer does science consider them our direct ancestors but some suspect Neanderthals and modern homo Sapiens interbred during the 20,000 some-odd years we co-existed in Europe. The archaeological record doesn't tell us one way or another, but earlier, researchers announced they would seek more clues by scraping DNA from Neanderthal bones and teeth.
The question of sex with Neanderthals speaks to our understanding of ourselves, our origins and our uniqueness. If this other type of human being wasn't like us, what was he like?
As I started researching this issue, I found myself staring at a picture of a nude Neanderthal man — a forensic sculpture created by Duke University paleoanthropologist Steve Churchill that was published last year in the journal Science. The model, based on a skeleton found at La Ferrassie in France, is mesmerizing in its combination of familiarity and alienness.
To be honest, he's really not half bad looking. He's got a good, muscular body, and while he's nobody's idea of handsome, that could be forgiven if he had a nice personality or I was starving and he offered to throw some rhino steaks on the fire for me.
We're not talking about the stoop-shouldered, hairy, apelike Neanderthal of popular culture. There's no evidence they were hairier than modern people, says anthropologist Harold Dibble, a curator at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. For all we know our La Ferrassie man had a smooth chest and back.
Nor is there any reason to consider Neanderthals more closely related to chimpanzees than we are. The current scientific consensus holds that our ancestors and those of Neanderthals branched off from a common "archaic human" ancestor about 800,000 years ago.
Around half a million years ago the Neanderthal line spread through Europe and the Middle East, while our dominant ancestral line didn't move into Europe until much later — around 45,000 years ago. There, we overlapped until about 28,000 years ago.
The archaeological record suggests Neanderthals knew how to control fire and created complex tools. "No matter how you cut it, they were not the stone-age idiots they were portrayed as in bad movies," says John Relethford, an anthropologist at State University of New York at Oneonta and author of "Genetics and the Search for Modern Human Origins."
Will genetics fill in the story's gaps? That's the hope, says Michael Egholm of the Connecticut-based 454 Life Sciences. Getting good information from Neanderthal bones is a long shot considering the majority of DNA they extract comes from bacteria and contamination from people.
But clues also lay within the DNA we're carrying around in our cells today. Biologist Alan Templeton of Washington University in St. Louis has found hints that some people of European ancestry carry genes that emerged in Europe more than 300,000 years ago — far before our main ancestors left Africa.
The story Templeton's genetic studies tell is one of successive waves of humanlike groups moving from Africa to Europe and Asia, first more than a million years ago, again 800,000 years ago and again less than 100,000 years ago. Each wave of immigrants appears to have mixed with the previous one already living in Eurasia.
It certainly mirrors what we know of the more recent history of human migration and exploration. Even when unfamiliar groups label each other as subhuman, they almost always have sex anyway.

SAN FRANCISCO - Federal regulators on Thursday approved what would be the first transplant of fetal stem cells into human brains, a procedure that if successful could open the door to treating a host of neural disorders.
The transplant recipients will be children who suffer from a rare, fatal genetic disorder.
The Food and Drug Administration said that doctors at Stanford University Medical Center can begin the testing on six children afflicted with Batten disease, a degenerative malady that renders its young victims blind, speechless and paralyzed before it kills them.
An internal Stanford review board must still approve the test, a process that could take weeks.
The stem cells to be transplanted in the brain aren't human embryonic stem cells, which are derived from days-old embryos. Instead, the cells are immature neural cells that are destined to turn into the mature cells that makeup a fully formed brain.
Parkinson's disease patients and stroke victims have received transplants of fully formed brain cells before, but the malleable brain cells involved here have never before been implanted.
Batten disease is caused by a defective gene that fails to create an enzyme needed in the brain to help dispose of brain cellular waste. The waste piles up and kills healthy cells until the patient dies. Most victims die before they reach their teens.
The idea is to inject the sick kids with healthy, immature neural stem cells that will "engraft" in a brain that will direct them to turn into cells able to produce the missing enzyme.
Such an experiment showed promise in Batten-afflicted mice, but such an ethically charged test has never been tried before in humans.
"I'm sure there is no threat to anyone's identity," said Arthur Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Bioethics. "But we are starting down that road."
What's more, some of the brain cells to be implanted will be derived from aborted fetuses, which Caplan also said raised ethical concerns for some.
Stem Cells Inc., the Palo Alto, Calif. biotechnology company developing the Batten disease treatment, said it receives it fetal tissue from a nonprofit California foundation that also collects tissue from miscarriages and other surgical processes. Stem Cells chief executive Martin McGlynn declined to name the foundation.
Stem Cells Inc. first applied for the human test last December, but the FDA demanded more information in February and put the application on hold. An FDA spokeswoman didn't return telephone calls or an e-mail inquiry.
McGlynn said the FDA wanted more information on where the transplanted brain cells were expected to go in the brain and other related health issues such as the chances the transplant might cause tumors. McGlynn also said the agency wanted more information on its manufacturing process and more details about the design of the six-patient test.
He said the FDA's concern was expected.
"This endeavor is unique. It's pioneering and no one has ever proposed to do what we are attempting," McGlynn said. "Once you put those stem cells in, you can't get them back."
Stanford University neurosurgeon chief Dr. Stephen Huhn will bore small holes through each child's skull and inject the neural cells into the patients' brains. The children will be given drugs to ensure the patients immune system doesn't attack the new cells and they will be closely monitored for a year.
Huhn said the initial Batten trial will primarily test whether the millions of new cells each child receives is safe for them. Ultimately, more tests with many more patients over several years will be needed to determine whether the transplanted cells help Batten patients.
If there is success, people afflicted by other brain disorders could benefit from such treatment.
"This may be what the future may hold for regenerative medicine," Huhn said.
Stem Cells Inc. was founded by Stanford University researcher Irving Weissman. The company's stock closed up 11 cents to $4.96 in trading Thursday on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
McGlynn said Batten disease was chosen because mice genetically engineered with the disease were readily available and because it's a brutal, fatal disease with no cure - a fact the FDA considered when weighing whether to approve such a novel human experiment.
McGlynn said the stem cells had to be tested in humans.
"You cannot ask a mouse how it's feeling," he said.
For Marcus Kerner, a federal prosecutor in Santa Ana, Calif. with a Batten-afflicted son, the FDA's approval Thursday gave him hope his child may actually survive.
He said he will apply to have his 5-year-old son Daniel enrolled in the experiment.
"It is a horrific, terrible way to watch a child die and there is currently nothing available to stop it," Kerner said. "I think this is going to be a major medical breakthrough that will save Daniel's life."

Beach House Restaurant at Lovers Point Restaurant Review: This hotspot offering views of Monterey Bay is jammed nightly and rightly so. Values start with the $9.90 sunset menu and continue with an accessible wine list that includes more than a dozen wines by the glass. Signature firecracker shrimp glisten with a sweet-and-spicy sauce studded with black and white sesame seeds, while the lightly seared sea scallop exudes a pleasant smokiness. Avocado Gorgonzola salad with white beans and grape tomatoes presents a pleasant interplay of textures; we also suggest the salmon on spinach and black rice. For dessert, enjoy the chocolate pot au crème with raspberries and the thin wedge of lemon tart on a crumbly graham cracker crust topped with just enough meringue. Service is unhurried but heartfelt and efficient, particularly given the high volume of business.

Hable Christmas Stocking Collection 115 115
Beautiful Stockings My husband and I purchased a set of these stockings 5 years ago for ourselves and loved them. This year we decided to order one for each of our children, too and I'm happy to report that the quality hasn't changed! They're lovely stockings. My only issue is the monogramming we had done - the thread is "out" in at least one place on all 3 stockings. I was able to snip the thread, and am hopeful it doesn't fray. December 5, 2014
A style fit for each personality We have searched for years for a Christmas Stocking line that has enough variety to match each extended family member's "unique" (ahem) personality. No small feat. This year once again Garnet Hill and Hable have provided a new motif perfect for our latest addition. Thank you! October 21, 2014
Beautifully made stocking We just ordered this stocking for our new baby girl. Our son received one when he was born as well. The stocking is gorgeous. Made to last. It is also very sturdy and can hold some heavy goodies from Santa :) My husband and I will be ordering a couple for ourselves as well! December 9, 2013
A delightful purchase! These stockings felt pricey, but I forgot all about that once they arrived! They are well constructed, whimsical, and with the added personalization, a very special addition to my Christmas arsenal! Thanks so much Hable Construction and Garnet Hill! Will enjoy for years to come! December 6, 2013
Incorrect lowercase letter I was very disappointed that Garnet Hill could not monogram my stocking correctly. I ordered 4 and 3 were perfect but one did not have the correct capitalized letter for a double first name. I have a double first name and there wasn't enough room to have a space between my names but I did expect it to be capitalized as I requested. November 30, 2013
Uniquely Whimsical I am very happy with the monogrammed Christmas stockings. They are whimsical and will look great hanging on my mantle. November 27, 2013

Global investment bankers have warned that Indiaĺs growth could slip sharply if the Reserve Bankĺs liquidity tightening measures are not rolled back by October-March.
A weak growth trend lasting for 4-5 quarters would increase the risk of a vicious cycle building, whereby the economy becomes vulnerable and the risk increases of GDP growth sliding to 3.5-4 per cent, according to a report by Morgan Stanley. ôThe recent monetary tightening and uncertain global capital market environment could mean growth stays low for at least two more quarters.ö
It said the viciousness could intensify with a 4-5 quarter growth slowdown resulting in a sharp rise in non-performing assets leading to risk aversion in the domestic banking sector; increase in challenges related to fiscal deficit management with weaker revenues and reduced confidence of foreign investors, exacerbating the external funding risk.
According to a report by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, incoming data should ôreinforce our view that FYĺ14 growth will slip to 4.8 per cent if RBI tightening is not rolled back by October-March busy season. ôOur base case is that it will be: Bimal Jalanĺs (former RBI Governor) January 1998 tightening lasted 2 months. We expect growth to end FYĺ14 at 5.3 per cent and FYĺ15 at 6.3 per cent,ö it said.
ôIn fact, RBI tightening will only sustain deposit growth below loan demand. Infrastructure industries production has also slowed down to 0.1 per cent from 2.3 per cent last month. The HSBC PMI is down to 50.1 from 54.7 in December,ö BofAML said.
Further, Morgan Stanley said longer duration of higher rates for borrowers and slower GDP growth can lead to sharp rise in NPAs in the banking system. It said currently 75 per cent of the banking system (SOE banks) is running on stretched balance sheets, with a problem of undercapitalisation and weak asset quality.
Moreover, net impaired loans at some of the SOE banks are now almost 100 per cent of equity.
Apart from the stress on account of a prolonged growth slowdown and monetary tightening, the depreciation of the rupee will also be an additional stress point for banks and corporates. Moreover, as per the RBI, almost 60-65 per cent of this external debt of is un-hedged.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Tiger Woods had the last word against Sergio Garcia by winning The Players Championship on Sunday.
Woods ended a weekend of testy words with Garcia by doing what he does best closing out tournaments, even if he let this one turn into a tense duel over the final hour at the TPC Sawgrass. Tied with Garcia with two holes to play, Woods won by finding land on the last two holes for par to close with a 2-under 70.
If only it were that simple for the Spaniard.
Garcia was standing on the 17th tee shot, staring across the water to an island as Woods made his par. He took aim at the flag with his wedge and hung his head when he saw the ball splash down short of the green. Then, Garcia hit another one in the water on his way to a quadruple-bogey 7. He completed his stunning collapse by hitting his tee shot into the water on the 18th and making double bogey.
Woods was in the scoring trailer when he watched on TV as Swedish rookie David Lingmerth missed a long birdie putt that would have forced a playoff. It raced by the cup, and Lingmerth three-putted for bogey.
"How about that?" Woods said to his caddie, Joe LaCava as he gave him a hug.
Woods won The Players for the first time since 2001 and joined Fred Couples, Davis Love III and Steve Elkington as the only two-time winners at the TPC Sawgrass. It was his 78th career win on the PGA Tour, four short of the record held by Sam Snead.
Lingmerth closed with a 72 and finished two shots behind along with Kevin Streelman (67) and Jeff Maggert, who also was tied for the lead until finding the water on the 17th to make double bogey. The 49-year-old Maggert birdied the 18th for a 70.
Garcia took 13 shots to cover the final two holes 6-over par and tumbled into a tie for eighth.
Woods made this drama possible by hooking his tee shot into the water on the 14th hole and making a double bogey, dropping him into a four-way tie with Garcia, Maggert and Lingmerth. The final two holes came down to Garcia and Woods, most appropriate given their public sniping at each other this weekend.
It started Saturday when Garcia complained in a TV interview that his shot from the par-5 second fairway was disrupted by cheers from the crowd around Woods, who was some 50 yards away in the trees and fired them up by taking a fairway metal out of his bag. He said Woods should have been paying attention, and it became a war of the words the next two days.
"Not real surprising that he's complaining about something," Woods said.
"At least I'm true to myself," Garcia retorted. "I know what I'm doing, and he can do whatever he wants."
When they finished the storm-delayed third round Sunday morning, Garcia kept at it, saying that Woods is "not the nicest guy on tour."
Woods had the last laugh. He had the trophy.
Garcia, when asked if he would have changed anything about the flap with Woods, replied, "It sounds like I was the bad guy here. I was the victim."
The real villain was the infamous 17th hole, which knocked out Garcia and Maggert.

Stephen Harper may well be the best prime minister that we have had since Lester B. Pearson.
The Liberals and the NDP know it and they don't like it. Harper may not be popular but he is doing a great job considering the difficulties our biggest customer, the U.S, and the rest of the developed world are facing.
Another bridge is needed between Windsor and Detroit to keep our main trade corridor operating, and the Americans are late with their cash (it may not be forthcoming at all). But the prime minister sees the big picture and Canada is forging ahead on our own. This is no small feat given that the price tag exceeds $500 million.
Thomas Mulcair, leader of the Opposition, blames Harper for each of the 500,000 lost manufacturing jobs. This much-needed trade corridor between Windsor and Detroit gets little comment from Mulcair or Bob Rae, interim leader of the Liberal party. Even when our prime minister does the right thing for Canada, he gets no respect from this pair of negative nabobs.
Harper stood up to the Americans on the Keystone XL pipeline and our oil interests. He stood up to Argentina on the right of the Falkland Islanders to decide their own fate. He refused to back the International Monetary Fund on its wish to bail out European countries.
He told Canadians to tighten their belts and he changed the rules for the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation so that rich people will have to pony up more cash for their mansions.
This prime minister is a leader and not afraid to make unpopular decisions because they are the right decisions.
These are decisions for Canada. When we check out the situation in countries around the world, we can be thankful for our prime minister. Hold the course, Mr. Harper.

I would not recommend Hunter Auto & Wrecker Service. They caused extensive damage to my car. My car broke down on my way to work (due to a radiator hose). Come to find out, the tow truck driver punctured my oil pan & ruined my transmission due to improper handling of my vehicle. They have done their best to make it right, but I will be without a car for a week after all of the repairs are complete. I am thoroughly disappointed.
