Well I had my first crash to date with any plane today. Unfortunately it was the T-28 with my newly added flaps.
Everything checked out fine and I was flying around for a few minutes when I heard this crazy thump and all of the sudden the entire wing had pulled off the fuselage. It fluttered to the ground, and it the body nosed in from over 200' up. The wing had been properly secured, and it looked like the threaded area broke. I walked over to the wreckage which happened to be in this nasty muddy area. The cowl had burst with the exception of the 2 larger chunks pictured and the fuse was sticking out of the ground like a lawn dart. It was at least 4 inches down into the mud. I yanked it out to find the firewall shattered and the motor seperated. The esc had been ejected as well. The battery looked alright, but has a sizeable dent in the front (it hasn't smoked up yet, not sure if I'll keep it in service though...). Fortunately, the wing landed softly with no damage. I would have been furious if I'd just added those flaps and it bit the bucket. The fuse actually looked pretty good. The only damage besides the cowl/firewall was a slight compression in the very front. It took absolutely no other damage. Once I got home, I decided I'd test the motor out and this blew my mind...the motor shaft did not bend at all. I ran it up to full speed it and sounded fine and there was no wobble in the shaft. You wouldn't think with the way the prop looks this would be the case... I'm not sure if the motor will stand the test of time, but I'll try it again I suppose. Estimated repair parts: motor mount firewall (not sure if these can be purchased....may need a bare fuse.) cowl prop Here are the pictures after the fact. I kid you not this is the extent of the damage. I expected it to be packing peanuts after that high altitude dive. Benefits of flying over soft mud I suppose? |

Anyways, you can not purchase a seperate firewall. What I have done in the past is epoxy what you have back together making sure not to get any glue where the motor mount sits. Next, drill out some new holes for the motor mount where there is enough meat. Worked for me a few times. The only thing to look at is how badly compressed the fuse is behind the firewall. You don't want to change the angle of the motor too much or it could lead to headaches trying to fly and trim the plane. From your pics it looks like it compressed from the collision but then sprang back so you should be good to go. Hope this helps save a few $$. |

im guessing the part of nose gear swivel is intregal to the firewall and you cant replace it separate? where the nose gear rod is held in place with the screw is split on mine.any of you guys know if i can get the swivel separate? it pops out from the back of the firewall.i cut out an access hole in the bottom of my fuse to access the swivel...i found a high spot on the runway running wide open passes low hehehe

nah the tube that holds the rod and swivels with the rudder is broken in half...i took it out and epoxied it back together,then drilled out the epoxy,then put it back in the firewall and put it back together,flew it one time,landed it was taxiing and it broke again.i think it be done for hehehe..thinking of glueing it straight in and disconnecting the rod from it do it is stationary and just doing that
Dec 29, 2008, 05:21 PM | |
Yeah I thought I might be able to save this firewall, but after I removed the remnants of the motor mount, I don't think I can. The area where the mount screws into the firewall is split in between each screw hole, and a chunk of the top is missing.
Checked my lhs which of course had nothing in stock. edit: Called a shop about ~40 minutes away and they have everything I need in stock. |

Ok here are some pics of my homemade brew with the motor mounts. The fuse I'm using is the crunched one from this weekend. I liked the washer idea mentioned back a few posts but could not find any aluminum in the stores, a metal wash IMO would be to heavy. So it's small ply for now.

Retailers say sales slowed in SeptemberAP PHOTO
Shoppers leave a store in Salem, N.H. Americans may have slowed their spending in September after splurging in the month before during the busy back-to-school shopping season.Back-to-school sales growth slowed in September after a strong August, U.S. retailers reported Thursday.
Sales at stores open at least a year crawled up just 0.8 percent from September 2011, according to the 19 retailers tracked by Thomson Reuters. That was just half of the increase that analysts had expected.
However, excluding drugstores, same-store sales rose 3.6 percent, which was in line with analyst expectations.
In August, consumers came out and spent more than they themselves anticipated, and September was really a month for taking stock, said Joel Bines, managing director at the consulting firm AlixPartners. The excitement bled out as the month went along the first week was still strong and then the momentum started to dwindle.
The 0.8 percent increase was not the smallest increase so far this year that happened in June, when same-store sales increased just 0.1 percent over a year earlier. But June is normally a weak retail month, while September is more important, since it includes the end of back-to-school sales.
The slowing momentum is not necessarily a harbinger for a bad holiday season, Bines said. He examined the relationship between back-to-school sales versus holiday sales for the last 10 years, and said we havent been able to find anything that we would be willing to say is conclusive.
Large retailers including Target, Kohls, Nordstrom and Macys missed analyst expectations.
Macys September sales rose 2.5 percent, while analysts had expected a 3.3 percent rise. Macys noted in a news release that back-to-school sales for August and September combined were up 3.6 percent on a same-store basis.
We continue to feel good about the remainder of our fall season, Terry J. Lundgren, chairman and chief executive officer of Macys, said in a statement.
Targets chairman and chief executive said the company was on track for its third-quarter sales and profit goals. The company had a 2.1 percent sales increase in September, just below what analysts were expecting.
At Nordstrom, a 4.4 percent increase came in slightly below what analysts expected. Childrens gear, handbags and mens shoes performed well, the company said.
Same-store sales at Kohls decreased by 2.7 percent; analysts had expected sales to be about flat. Still, Kohls reaffirmed its quarterly earnings guidance.
The apparel companies Gap Inc. and Limited Brands, which owns Victorias Secret, continued their strong performances, with increases of 6 percent and 5 percent.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON The Supreme Court was sharply divided Wednesday in the latest challenge to President...

From a distance, it looks as though an animal has burrowed around the 4,000-year-old Black Pyramid of Amenemhat III.
But thieves dug these holes. And Egyptian archaeologist Monica Hanna calls that "a catastrophe."
"See the ancient mud bricks?" says Hanna, 29, peering into a pit. "It is very well structured."
She walks to another, followed by three pyramid custodians, and points into the 25-foot hole with a tunnel to one side. Here, she says, looters exposed what might be a burial shaft.
One custodian, Said Hussein, 32, tells her that as many as 30 armed men come nightly to dig for antiquities. They beat two custodians, broke an arm of one and "attacked the armed guards on the gate."
"Do they find anything?" she asks.
"They only find pottery, stuff like that," he replies. "A wooden coffin, that's what they take."
These "massive looting pits," Hanna says, have made "Swiss cheese" of a 2-mile-long field of five pyramids listed as a United Nations World Heritage Site.(...)
Post-revolution lawlessness
The brazen looting and the encroaching cemetery reflect Egypt's lawlessness and political unrest since its 2011 revolution.

Wednesday night, my dear friend Amanda and I went to the screening of "Battleship", the movie based on the board game of the same name. How anyone thought of taking a board game with no characters and developing it into a Hollywood blockbuster is beyond me. The product of this genius is a 131 minute gargantuan alien invasion flick that seems to get lost inside its numerous and uninteresting sub-plots. Imagine Armageddon and Top Gun had a baby.
The majority of the movie happens in Hawaii during a series of naval exercises when alien invaders crash into the Pacific Ocean in response to a beacon sent to a planet closely resembling earth. Other than as a response to the beacon, we are never given much insight into the intentions of the aliens and are instead inundated with the useless sub-plots not even worth mentioning. This mess of a story line all leads up to a group of WWII vets wearing aviators walking in slow motion to ACDC's "Thunderstruck" as they come to save the day by fighting on their OWN ship, which happens to be a museum. Honestly, I'm not making this shit up. We were practically pissing ourselves.
Today is the day! This is a movie that pretty much every comic book or superhero nerd has been waiting for. After a while bunch of movies of the individual characters and so many years of planning, the mega motion picture THE AVENGERS hits theatres…and I got to see a special advance screening of it.
Going into the Avengers I had to leave a few things at the door.
I left those three major points at the door and went into The Avengers with my nerd family, if there were any three people that deserved to see this movie it was them. Let me tell you we were not disappointed.
A few days ago, Tyrell and I attended a pre-screening of 'Wrath Of The Titans' in 3D, which hits theatres tonight. It has been two years since 'Clash Of The Titans' (which I also reviewed) was in theatres.
Starring the sexy Sam Worthington as Perseus, son of Zeus, the film takes place a decade after where the last one left off. The Gods are in serious trouble and need Perseus to stop living as your Average Joe and use his powers to defend the Gods… and all of humanity. It takes a bit of convincing because he doesn't want to leave his son, Helius. At the end of the day, a God had got to do what a God has to do.
Right away, I'm gonna straight up tell you the truth: I ACTUALLY kinda liked this "John Carter". Though to many who don't know me you'll wonder why I feel that's such an odd thing for me to say, but it straight up is. I'm more typically known as the indie movie hunter of Homorazzi and often all things hugely mainstream get kicked to the side and mocked for their over-hype and false bravado. Specifically, I wrote a diatribe on "Avatar" and described the many ways it made no sense and why it sucked, so, coming into a film who's premise didn't sound hugely differently from its Blue-bodied predecessor, I was skeptical to say the very least. And, boy was I pleasantly surprised.
Not one for spoilers, I'll very simply describe the plot as an old-London John Wayne/Indiana Jones meets aliens from Mars on their planet and is reluctantly forced into the middle of a battle to save their planet. Honestly, you don't need to know much more than that to understand the basic premise, but trust me, if that at ALL seems like something you'd be into then go for it cause the plot just gets better from there. Oh, and the lead character- Taylor Kitsch- is F-ING crazy-body hot. Nuff' said.
Today, This Means War hits theatres as the token Valentine's Day comedy for 2012. The film stars Reese Witherspoon who after struggling to get back into the dating scene finds herself now double-dating and trying to choose between two great guys, played by Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. Oh yeah, and both men are spies but in true spy fashion, they do not divulge this information to her.
I'll let you know right away, the film isn't something to write home about: It's super cheesy & ridiculous. As the movie kicked off, I thought I was watching Reese Witherspoon in the courtroom scene of Legally Blonde, where she was using the technical terms that relate to hair perms. In this film, she works in product testing and focus groups so that's where the jargon she uses in this film comes from. That being said, as long as you know that the film is not to be taken seriously going into it, it can actually be quite entertaining.
Earlier this week, Tyrell and I caught a pre-screen Chronicle, which opens in theatres today, and here are my thoughts on the modern take on a superhero movie. The film follows three high school friends after they gain superpowers after having made an incredible discovery they can't explain. Set in Seattle, the film starts out with Andrew (Dane DeHaan), establishing the fact that he's going to start recording everything that is going on in his life which his new video camera. This is before anything happens regarding superpowers. We see some of the challenges he goes through in his life with bullying, as well as some unfortunate situations at home.
When Andrew and his two friends (played by Michael B. Jordan and Alex Russell) make an incredible discovery, they soon learn that they are capable of telekinesis and as a result, form an incredible bond with each other. As the boys continue to learn what they are capable of, their powers gets stronger (similar to working out your muscles at the gym). Keep in mind that these guys are only teenagers… and boys will be boys (even with superpowers).
Ever wonder what "Sister Act" would like look like in a post-"Glee" world? Go watch "Joyful Noise" this weekend and you'll find out. The musical film starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton combines ingredients from the classic film and popular television show to create an entertaining film. Not the best movie I've seen, but it kept me captivated for most of it.
The film focuses on a church choir group's journey to the annual national "Joyful Noise" choir competition. Sectionals anyone? Along the way they face a few obstacles ranging from the untimely death of the choir director, financial hardship facing their small town to internal power struggles within the church choir.
For a film in this genre, I expected it to last in the 90 minute range. Instead, it had a running time of almost two hours. No beuno. The producers would've been better served if they didn't have so stories going in. It was like watching several movies within one. The editors definitely needed to be more cutthroat in the editing room. In addition, a couple of the musical numbers could've been axed, especially Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton's respective solo performances. I get it was probably part of their contract, but both didn't do anything to propel the main plot forward. That being said, it shocked me that one of the best singers in the movie didn't even sing one note. Jesse L. Martin of "Law & Order" fame appeared as Latifah's husband, yet didn't show off his vocal prowess. If you watched "Rent", you know Martin has a powerful set of pipes.
On Wednesday night, Patrick and I checked out a preview of Contraband starring Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale. We both hadn't really done our research on the film and weren't 100% sure what we were about to see. I was both shocked and excited once the movie immediately kicked into high gear with a storyline that was easy to follow yet left you on the edge of your seat. Both Patrick and I left the theatre feeling really tense as the movie keeps you on edge the entire time. Here is a synopsis of the film:
Contraband is an action-thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked hard to leave behind and the family he'll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling – full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs-where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away.
Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best-running contraband-to settle Andy's debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills. Things quickly fall apart and with only hours to reach the cash. Check out the film's trailer and my overall rating below.

Home Run
Every Christmas Eve, my family watches home movies from Christmases past, remembering fondly the year my brother thought he was Luke Skywalker and waved around his new light saber, or the time we built a windsurfer in the living room for my mother.
But by far, everyone's favorite is 1981's "Itchy Butt Christmas," which captures for perpetuity my younger sister's suffering from a nasty bout of diaper rash.
No doubt about it: Home movies are a cultural phenomenon. In recognition of them, film organizations around the world have designated Saturday, August 16, the first-ever Home Movie Day, to celebrate the millions of memories caught on 8-millimeter and 16-millimeter film -- hence the date.
"Home movies are the history of our social culture," says Christopher May, director of the International Experimental Cinema Exposition, known as TIE, and the Rocky Mountain region's Home Movie Day representative. "They depict how we celebrate birthdays and family picnics, what our region looked like when people were wearing beehive hairdos and there were only four buildings downtown."
To mark the day, amateur-film lovers around the world -- from Tokyo to Miami to Toronto -- will be pulling out those clunky old projectors for an artistic trek into the past. But this celebration is for purists only: No digital or video screenings, please. "We're trying to encourage the preservation of celluloid film," explains May. "Once people see and remember how good film looks, they'll appreciate what we're trying to do. Film has 24 tiny little images per second that take active participation of your brain to process; it's an actual physical experience. Video basically just turns your brain to mush."
At a free celebration sponsored by TIE, local movie buffs can show off their favorite family flicks at Fusion Point Studios in Colorado Springs. Starting at 7 p.m. on Saturday, TIE will try to show every film brought in, with priority given to movies made in or relating to Colorado.
"We can't guarantee that we're going to get to everyone's films, but we're sure going to try," says May. "It's catching on more than I ever thought it would. It's really becoming quite a big deal, worldwide."

text: September 15th, 2008 I have tried to keep everything simple and changing minimal as the children don't have much time to change between scenes. There are some choices on their costumes, just in case they already have some of these pieces at home, or they really have their mind set on wearing something in particular, as long as it works with the 40's theme. If needed, I can make the bow-ties, any aprons, hair bows, adjustments, or the temporary logos. I would like to tackle making some of the girl's 40's style hats (also someone at the meeting mentioned they may have some hats.) The 40's is a classic era, even fashion today have elements from it, e.g. I think Target have vests and shoes, etc. with that look. Macy's, etc… may have the dresses. Some fashion has not changed much since the 40's, especially for men's suits. If the boys have their own suit or one they can borrow, that will work. For girls, even a plain pencil skirt and a cardigan will work. It's the accessories that can change a look. For the boys, the Indiana Jones style hat, the shorter length ties, waistcoats, v-neck sweaters (short/long sleeved with/without patterns) bow- ties, cuffed pants, round glasses, etc… For the girls, hairstyle plays a big part, either worn up for the older characters (Mrs.) in a low bun with a hair net. The younger characters (Miss) can wear hair high above the forehead in a puff or in rolls the rest either down or up in a low bun. The accessories can be (these are optional); purses, hats, hair bows, gloves (regular pair either fabric or leather), strand/s of faux pearls/ beads, etc… Please have your child's costume ready by October 31st, (that gives six weeks from today) to be brought in on the rehearsal days; Wednesday November 5th and/ or Thursday November 6th. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Recent Cabo Matapalo Reviews
Amazing Views!
We loved every minute of our stay. The house is open so you never have to miss the views. The pictures do not do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking not to mention the wildlife you are able to enjoy. The macaws and toucans eat and play in the trees in front of the house. The monkeys are impossible to miss. The house is a short walk to the beach. The highlight was that we were able to see Humpback whales breaching every day from the house as well as the beach.
The hosts are great people and willing to help in any way with information and tours. The food was wonderful! There are no shortages of activities and adventures available in the area for whatever your interests might be. I can't say enough good things about the house, the hosts and the area.
absolute paradise
After being greeted by a welcoming smile from the proprietor, it's hard not to be in awe at your surroundings. The house is magnificent, all native hard wood and custom cement forming the shower and dual sinks. After settling in, it's a walk through a private rainforest trail to a virtually private beach. I've been going to Costa Rica for almost 40 years, and the osa for over 20 and this is by FAR my favorite place to stay. Already thinking about another trip!
January 2013 Family Reunion
My overall rating for my stay at Casa Vida Verde is exceptional!! Everything was exactly as advertised and expected, if not more than expected. Therefore the listing description is spot on regarding the location, layout, amenities and everything else. I would highly recommend this area and this property to others.
The caretaker Carlos and his wife Sianne were very informational and helpful in anything that we needed. The property is well maintained and the house was kept clean during our 5 night stay. Beds were made, towels were changed, garbage was removed, floors were swept, etc. I was also impressed that they provided a large bin for recycling materials and a bin for organic garbage. They also had a large wooden box to place organic foods in overnight in order to keep any wildlife away. We requested to have our meals cooked for us a couple of nights and mornings. The ladies that came to cook were very friendly and quite talented to put together delicious meals with whatever we had available for them. We joked that they would be good on the Food Network show "Chopped"!
I was suprised at the lack of bugs (mosquito, purruja type bugs) at the house in the evening. We were prepared with repellent but never had to use it at the house or in the general area. As expected with any open house located in the middle of the jungle, there was the occasional scorpion, beetle, ants, etc., but were never a problem.
My party included my 2 nieces of 2.5 yrs and 8 months old. Everything at the house was child friendly and they also enjoyed their stay and especially seeing the monkeys so often.
The only thing that we wished we had noticed before we arrived was that we should have brought ice. The refrigerator keeps things cold, but it does not produce ice. The website does recommend bringing ice, but we missed that. However, Carlos was able to get some later during our stay when he went into Puerto Jimenez. The rum and cokes were expecially good that night!
There are not words to describe waking up to the howler monkeys, toucans, and macaws every morning. And to be able to see the 4 species of monkey that exist in CR from the hammock at the house is priceless!
If we are lucky, we will make coming here a family tradition every year. It was definitely the best New Years/Anniversary/Birthday/Family Reunion ever!!

Hotel Villa Padierna, Marbella
Carretera de Cadiz KM 166, Urbanizacion Flamingos Golf, Marbella, Costa del Sol, Spain, 29679
- Recommended for:
- Couples, Foodies, Honeymooners, Mature travellers, Sporty types, Design and architecture, Great views / scenery, Relaxation, Romance, Special occasions
Expert review of Hotel Villa Padierna, Marbella
Previously a Ritz-Carlton-owned hotel, the spacious Hotel Villa Padierna is a byword for over-the-top elegance. Many people who've stayed here have told me it feels like stepping into a fairytale as the sweeping drive takes you through the landscaped gardens and amphitheatre, to the pastel pink-coloured hotel which looks like it should be painted on a chocolate box. You get the picture.
Surrounded by golf courses and mountains, it's few minutes' drive to the centre of either Marbella or Estepona, but it's too far to walk.
The 129 rooms and 11 private villas are all palatially-decorated and contain old-world art and furniture. If you're after modern, minimalist spaces this is not for you! Whilst some of the exclusive villas have their own private pools, all the rooms have internet access and king-sized beds. Watching the sky turn from deep blue to a fiery orange at sunset from my grand marble bathtub is not something I'll easily forget.

As opulent as the hotel's façade and rooms: the lobby and corridors are full of antiques and paintings which give the feeling you're staying in a private stately house, not a hotel. Eddy's Bar is a thankfully more relaxed affair and offers the finest wines, beers and high-end spirits.
The hotel's culinary gem is La Veranda, whose chef, Victor Taborda, is the protégé of a three-star Michelin chef. Key elements of Spanish cuisine are given a luxurious twist. Average spend would be in the region of 75 euros per head. Last summer Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria sent an invitation to Mrs Obama to join her for dinner here. Sadly, she had other commitments that night. In my opinion, she missed out on one of the best restaurants in town.
The Thermae Spa offers the latest treatments but they don't come cheap. The gym is well-equipped but small for a hotel of this size, and guests have unlimited access to the tennis and paddle courts.
Last summer, I got to hear some of the finest live jazz I'd ever heard in the hotel's amphitheatre. Check with the hotel to see what's on.
Generally sleek and efficient. That said, some have a slightly haughty attitude which left me unimpressed.

History of the Philippine Military Academy
The Philippine Military Academy traces its beginnings to the officers' school of the Philippine Constabulary in Manila, which opened on February 15, 1905 at the Sta. Lucia Barracks in Intramuros.
The school transferred to Baguio three years later, on September 1, 1908, with Major James F. Quin as Head. The passage of Act No. 2319 by the Philippine Legislature on April 14, 1914, provided funds for the maintenance of the officers' school. Subsequently, Act No. 2605 was passed on February 4, 1916 and renamed the school "Academy for Officers of the Philippine Constabulary." It extended its course of instruction to carry out its mission to train men to become officers of the Philippine Constabulary. The passage of this Act marked the beginning of the requirement that candidates must pass a competitive examination.
On December 8, 1926, Act No. 3496 was passed by the Philippine Legislature and declared the official name of the school as the Philippine Constabulary Academy. The nine-month course transitioned to two years, until it became three years in accordance with the provision of a subsequent amending Act. A modification of the act also provided for the strengthening of the Acadamy's faculty and the readjustments of its curriculum.
By this time, the Academy had already earned the status of college. Colonel R.A. Buckworthford, who was the Superintendent from 1929 to 1932, stated:
"The Academy is vested by law with the status of a college. The diplomas awarded to the Academy graduates should be recognized as equivalent to an AB or BS degree in the same way as West Point diplomas are recognized by most universities and other collegiate institutions in the United States."
The rise of the Constabulary Academy to full college status came with the passage of Commonwealth Act No. 1 (the National Defense Act) on December 21. 1935. Prior to the Commonwealth, the colonial status of the Philippines meant that it could not provide for its own armed forces. With the transition period to full independence; however, the Commonwealth government embarked on putting in place the institutions necessary for a professional officer corps. The academy further extended its course of instruction to four years, conferred on its graduates the degree of Bachelor of Science, and authorized the final change of its name to "Philippine Military Academy." In signing the National Defense Act, Pres. Manuel L. Quezon reaffirmed the need for a competent officers' school and its important role in the building of a strong Philippines.
From the time of its transfer to Baguio on September 1, 1908 to 1936, the Academy was situated on Constabulary Hill, which was subsequently named Camp Henry T. Allen in honor of the man who was greatly responsible for its growth and development. In 1936, the Academy transferred to a bigger though temporary location at Teacher's Camp, also in Baguio City. Again, the Academy saw extensive changes in its course of instructions in both military and academic courses.
The outbreak of World War II disrupted entirely what had auspiciously begun. The cadets of Class '42 and '43 graduated ahead of schedule. They and their officers and instructors were assigned to combat units in Bataan and other sectors of the country.
The Philippine Military Academy officially reopened on May 5, 1947 in Baguio City. Classes began on the first week of June and were held at the old Camp Allen. Rehabilitation and development went hand in hand with the training of the then singular class of cadets. In the absence of upperclassmen, a few members of Class '44 and '45 were given the responsibility of indoctrinating the cadets until the integration of underclassmen to the Corps. Because of the need for wider grounds, a site in Loakan was acquired. The Academic Building, which was constructed at a cost of P 1,300.000, was initially erected on this new camp. Because the Corps was still small, the Academic Building was used as barracks and classrooms for the cadets. In early 1963, it was given the name Melchor Hall, after Col. Alejandro Melchor, who was Dean of the Academy.
After the construction of Melchor Hall, additional buildings were built. There were the officers' quarters, the Station Hospital, and Yap Hall, which served as the cadet mess hall. For sports, a gymnasium was built and named Jurado Hall. There is also the covered court complex that doubles as auditorium, martial arts facilities, three tennis courts, and a 25-meter swimming pool.
To accommodate the increasing number of cadets, three additional barracks were constructed – the Regis Hall, the Central Barracks, and the Mayo Hall, and two newly constructed barracks which are collectively called Ramos Hall.
The Philippine Military Academy today has undergone many innovations—the Tri-Service Curriculum, infrastructure projects, the Faculty Merit System, and the acceptance of women into the Cadet Corps. But the Academy continues to be a symbol, a name, and a school. It epitomizes the best traditions of the service. It bears the standards of character founded on honor and fortified by discipline. It is a school that has trained men for over eighty years in the defense of the state and furtherance of peace and order. It has a proud heritage to cherish, a glorious tradition to uphold, a noble standard to maintain, and a vital mission to accomplish.
With its history considered, the Academy continues to endure and looks forward to the future guided by its motto "COURAGE, INTEGRITY, AND LOYALTY."
The Philippine Military Academy Bagwis Class of 2012
BAGWIS is the abbreviated form of the phrase "Bagong Kawal na may Iisang Lakas". They claim to be the "New Breed of Soldiers, which has a Unified Strength". The word "BAGWIS" alone also stands for the class description. It is a Tagalog word that stands for the "STRENGTH OF WIND THAT COMES FROM THE FLAPPING OF THE BIRD'S WING." Backed by all the values they learned in the Academy, the class aims to use the Unified Strength that they have to help in nation-building. The class will be the BAGWIS or Pakpak (wings) of the AFP as it soars to a more unified actions towards a better military organization for the Filipino people.
PMA graduation exercise traditions
The Valedictorian and the Baron
The Presidential Saber is traditionally given by the incumbent President of the Philippines to the PMA Class Valedictorian. The 2012 recipient of the Presidential Saber is Cadet Tom V. Puertollano.
Cadet First Class Mark Anthony Sy Tito, in the meantime, serves as the first captain of the cadet corps, by tradition called the Class Baron of 2012. The Baron is the most ranking cadet in the Corps and is technically the immediate assistant of the Commandant of Cadets in the discipline, interior administration, training, and general efficiency of the Cadet Corps. The Baron has the distinction of wearing the longest chevron in the corps of cadets.
The Presidential Saber was first awarded by President Manuel L. Quezon in 1938 to Cadet Aristeo Ferraren, also the Baron of his class.
As per correspondence between columnist Ramon J. Farolan and blogger Winston Arpon, only three recipients of the Presidential Saber were also the Barons of their class: Cadet Leopoldo Regis, class of 1951 (and who died in the plane crash that also claimed President Magsaysay's life in 1957), Cadet Manuel Arevalo, class of 1964, and Cadet Ferraren.
The Goat
The Goat is the cadet who graduates last in the class. This tradition was carried over from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Though discontinued at West Point since 1978, every cadet at the graduation ceremony knows who the class Goat is and when his or her name is read in the alphabetical list, the crowd bursts into sustained cheers.
Distribution of Rank Insignia
In 1957, Pilar Hidalgo Lim, wife of the late General Vicente Lim, started the tradition of giving all members of the PMA graduating classes their First Rank insignia, which they call their "Lieutenant's triangles." Every year, as a pre-graduation rite, the insignias are given to every member of the graduating class, together with 2 letters: a copy of the original letter of Mrs. Pilar Lim, and a letter of a representative of the Lim family, which has continued the tradition. This year, the Distribution of rank insignias was held on March 16, Friday.
Official class names
The tradition of naming PMA Classes started with the Dimasupil class of 1967 (see full list below) as a verbal representation of the collective aspirations of the class. As stated above, the class of 2012 is named Bagwis, following their aspirations to be New Breed of Soldiers which has a Unified Strength.

"Ice Age: Continental Drift" will perhaps be a delight for little kids, judging by their friendly reaction at a Saturday morning sneak preview I attended. Real little kids. Real, real little kids. I doubt their parents will enjoy it much, especially after shelling out the extra charge for the 3-D version.
But give the filmmakers their due: This is one movie that, when it says 3-D, it means 3-D. Almost the entire story seems to have been fashioned to provide excuses for its cute prehistoric characters to zoom toward and away from us and out into space and down to the Earth's core. It's a wonder they find time for dialogue in between being jolted into other dimensions.
This fourth installment in the "Ice Age" series continues its hopeless confusion of geological time on Earth. Our planet's original great big single continent began to break up and drift apart into the modern continents a few hundred million years before any of these creatures evolved, but never mind. This is no time to start putting the series to the test of realism.
A pre-title sequence, which I vaguely recall appearing in an earlier film in the series, puts the blame for the continental breakup on Scrat the squirrel, who you will recall is obsessed with an acorn. If this is the same acorn we first saw Scrat pursuing, it is a remarkable nut indeed, having survived a decade's wear and tear. If it takes Scrat that long to secure one acorn, one wonders how many eons it took him to discover he liked to eat acorns in the first place. For that matter, even this acorn is never eaten; just as well, because I for one would sorta miss it, after all it's been through. My hope is that it survives long enough for evolution to produce oak trees, although don't get me started on which came first, the acorn or the oak. There are no oak trees to be found in this movie, or indeed much of anything in the way of vegetation.
The movie reunites many of the same characters from the earlier films, including Manny the mammoth (voice of Ray Romano), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary). Considering that Manny is separated from his family by a breakaway ice floe, it's a hopeful sign, I suppose, that the film succeeds in ending with a performance of "We Are Family." It's even more hopeful that they think that way, since the carnivores among them have nothing at all to eat but one another.
Spoiler: The only creature who even tries to eat one of the characters isn't a mammal, but a fish. In the scale of creature morality that applies here, apparently fish are outlaws.
Watching this film was a cheerless exercise for me. The characters are manic and idiotic, the dialogue is rat-a-tat chatter, the action is entirely at the service of the 3-D, and the movie depends on bright colors, lots of noise and a few songs in between the whiplash moments.
But then, I'm not a 10-year-old kid. For that matter, I'm not a 6-year-old kid. I imagine 10-year-olds might think this was more for their younger siblings.

is there a step 2? sounds like something is missing.
haleyivers 9 Dec, 2014
this is just the wonton filling! go back to the home-made potsticker recipe to continue with the recipe :)
Kimmie G 19 Sep, 2012
I have a question about this recipe if anyone can answer. With regards to the meat. Do you cook it first? Or does it cook in the wonton?

tiffsta6715 5 Jan, 2012
These were very good! (I used ground chicken and cole slaw mix and increased the soy to 1Tablespoon) Easy but it is time consuming stuffing each wonton by hand. I didnt bother with draining the cabbage. I just pulsed in the food prossesor once and added it to a bowl. Added everything else to the processor and pulsed couple times. Added that mixture to the bowl and stired. 1rounded teaspoon per wonton and I steamed mine in a steamer basket for 15mins. I also froze some raw ones for later use.

Used slaw mix in place of napa cabbage. Recipe turned out great! Froze & used as needed!

Khairul Fahmi Che Mat in a file photo. With all the injuries in Kelantan, he believes that a draw would serve the team just as well.
PETALING JAYA: Kelantan will be hoping third time is a charm when they start their AFC Cup campaign against Yangon United in their Group G opener at the YTC Stadium in Myanmar.
The Red Warriors had a dream debut in the competition when they reached the quarter-final stage in 2012, before they were knocked out 6-2 on aggregate by Iraqi club Arbil SC.
Last year, the east coast giants' second stint in the competition ended with a whimper when they were knocked out 2-0 in the round of 16 by Hong Kong side Kitchee.
This year, the Kelantan FA have set a target of a quarter-final finish and have even secured the maximum four foreign players to help their cause.
However, an injury crisis has left them with only Nigerian defender Obinna Nwaneri available for Wednesday night's match as the other three import players are injured - prolific striker Mohd Ghaddar Mahmoud (groin), Liberian hitman Francis Doe (quadricep) and Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Shawky (hamstring).
Kelantan goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat said a win would be a big bonus for them, but they would be just as satisfied with a draw.
Khairul Fahmi added that the competition is just starting and the Red Warriors can bounce back from a slip-up.
"Our target is to go further in the AFC Cup this year as we are in the competition for the third consecutive year," said the 25-year-old custodian.
"The coach (Steve Darby) has set a weekly target for us instead of bigger targets. I believe if we can reach these smaller targets we will be on target to win titles.
"However, this game would be a very hard one because we are weakened by the absence of important players ... I think we would be happy to return from this match with just a point."

I should like to sleep like a cat,

with the dry sex of fire;
and after speaking to no one,
stretch myself over the world,
over roofs and landscapes,
with a passionate desire
to hunt the rats in my dreams.– Pablo Neruda

Naser Jason Abdo was arrested with bomb-making materials near Fort Hood, Texas.Story highlightsNaser Jason Abdo was arrested in Texas in JulyProsecutors said he planned to bomb a restaurant near Fort Hood Abdo faces a possible life sentence with his convictionA U.S. soldier charged with plotting to blow up troops from the nation's largest Army post has been found guilty of a battery of federal charges, prosecutors announced Thursday.Naser Jason Abdo was found guilty of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, attempted murder of federal employees, and weapons charges, the U.S. attorney's office in Waco, Texas, said. Prosecutors said the 22-year-old private first class wanted to bomb a restaurant frequented by soldiers from Fort Hood, in Killeen, Texas.Special coverage: The Fort Hood shootingsAbdo was absent without leave from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, when he was arrested in Texas in July 2011. Prosecutors said he was in the process of building a bomb when he was caught. The Muslim-American paratrooper had been granted conscientious objector status after refusing to deploy to Afghanistan. In May 2011, he was charged with possession of child pornography, and went AWOL the following month. Judge wants to see tapes of alleged Gitmo abuseIn a November interview with CNN affiliate WSMV in Nashville, Tennessee, Abdo said he originally planned to attack his own post, hoping to kill "a high-ranking member of my chain of command" who had served in Afghanistan. But he said he went AWOL after military police learned he had visited gun stores and bought a variety of tools he planned to use in that attack, including a cattle prod, handcuffs and shovels.Instead, he turned his attention to Fort Hood, where another Muslim-American soldier, Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, is accused of gunning down 13 comrades and wounding more than 30 others. "I felt like the only way to freedom or justice was martyrdom," Abdo told WSMV.

October 19--The Toombs Co Bulldogs defeated the Long Co Blue Tide on Friday night 33-20, in Ludowici. The Bulldogs spoiled homecoming for Long Co with 4 touchdown runs by Jamar Smith. Mark Terrell added one of his own to seal the win for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs led at the half 21-0, and were in control of the game, but Josh Berry of the Blue Tide ran the 2nd half opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, giving them momentum. Long Co scored on two more rushing touchdowns by Berry in the second half.
Toombs Co never trailed in the game, and a quarterback sack by Tomond Hampton in the 4th quarter, on a critical 4th down play, enabled the Bulldogs to take over on offense, and run the clock out for the win.
The Bulldogs go to 5-2 on the year, and 4-2 in the region, and play at home next Friday night against Benedictine.
