This is a dupe from last year....but upvoted because it's so incredible.
Thought I had seen this in the past.
Actually it looks as though the guy on the ground jumped up and pulled the cable the helicopter was lowering forcing it to go into the main rotor. Watch this in slow motion and you can see how lucky everyone one and the ride the pilot had on the way down.
No if you look close the cable is pulled into the rotor blades thats what happened look at the NTSB report I think that its out by now since it was on the air a year ago.
Why the "no"? The cable was pulled in when the guy on the ground yanked it, removing any slack that it had, and that put it within reach of the rotors. It's even stated in the video description. You're both right.
Why would the NTSB investigate an accident in New Zealand?
Basically they will assist if it is a US Manufactured plane, or US Citizens on board.
If they are asked to assist, they investigate anywhere in the world, be it a US or foreign aircraft.
Didn't catch that the first time--at around 1:43, you can see a guy (only one NOT in a high viability vest!) jump up and grab the cable causing it to whip into the rotors... Look between middle and guy on the right of the three guys standing still in the center of the shot and you can see him jump...
just one little simple yank of a cable totaled a million dollar aircraft and almost claimed about 6 lives.
Although not flight related, the pilot, after being evacuated from the danger of post crash fire, should have been placed flat on the ground with his head immobilized, not placed in a chair.
The (former) EMT in me was saying that, unless there was a clear risk of fire, they shouldn't have extracted him until help arrived... Even after removing him, placing him in a folding chair (that almost folded up just before he sat down, was not the wisest action (then again, looking at what happened, it is clear that no one was really thinking clearly that day anyway...).
I was thinking the same thing.... At least until medics arrived..
A) they should've used a truck crane (no reason to use a helicopter). B) the lifting cable was way too short to permit, in the event of, project abort and emergency landing. The copter could never safely descend and land, after tower section erected, with the cable slack looping below safely clear of the main rotor. Pilot, who never should've been there, didn't give himself an out. The pilot's life and safety (as for all around) depended on the copter's latch release that wasn't cooperating that day as planned.
For what it is worth, the NTSB DIDN'T investigate. Lots of countries, even small ones like New Zealand, have their own, well-qualified and competent agencies too. The report on this crash can be found on the website of the New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission.
Amazing that nobody on the ground was killed. Did the pilot end up in the back seat?
Good eye, Ryan. It looked like pilot error to me, at first. The pilot was absolutely on it. The guy on the ground is lucky he didn't kill himself, the pilot, or anyone else.
Yea, pilot ended up in back seat. Looks like he came pretty close to hitting the main rotor on the way down. Lucky guy.
Why was the pilot lowering the helicopter anyway? Pretty risky move... especially still tethered. Was the cable release not working?
Tether wouldn't release...
What a bunch of rookies. Lucky no one was injured.
nobody looked like they were in any hurry to get him out of there.. Looked like one guy went into the break-room to get him a beer...
I wouldn't either hearing that engine spool up like that....stand back until you know it's not gonna pop.
I wonder if a safety briefing with the pilot and ground crewmen prior to the flight may have helped. Seems that the ground crewman was completely clueless about the consequences of his actions, and I would think that a simple preflight briefing would perhaps have made a difference. A helicopter dropping into a construction site and raining down parts is not my idea of a good day. Of course I don't want to be the Monday-morning quarterback but....
WOW, I think he made a major over site in the close quarters of the entire Helicopter. Doesn't look like anyone was severely injured.... But I think the Helicopter has seen better days. Anything is rebuild-able however :)

The New York Rangers continued to inch closer to their Opening Night roster today as they assigned eight players and released three from their tryout commitments.
Heading to Hartford is goaltender Chad Johnson, defenseman Wade Redden, and forwards Evgeny Grachev, Dale Weise, and Mats Zuccarello.
Additionally, Dane Byers, Kris Newbury, and Jeremy Williams will continue training camp with the Wolf Pack.
Released from their tryouts are defensemen Garnet Exelby, Brandon Manning, and Alexei Semenov.
None of the moves came as a terrific suprise aside from perhaps Semenov and Zuccarello. While it is still possible that Semenov signs, it appears that the Rangers simply have too many defensemen to accomodate the big d-man.
Zuccarello showed well in camp and Hartford may only be a stop gap for him as the Rangers evaluate their more-veteran talent.
For the rookies, Grachev still shows promise while it appears that Byers and Weise have likely been passed over on the Rangers depth chart.
Notable bubble players still on the roster include defensemen Mike Sauer and Pavel Valatenko and forward Derek Stepan.
With 16 forwards currently on the roster, the Rangers are going to have to make some difficult decisions in the coming weeks.
For more on the glut of forwards, check out Blueshirt Bulletin Plus this afternoon.

TJ Dillashaw
Few UFC championship fights have been as stirring – or as surprising – as TJ Dillshaw's victory over Renan Barao for the bantamweight title in May 2014.
Dillashaw was a considerable underdog with a 10-2 professional record when he faced Barao, arguably the greatest bantamweight in MMA history, at UFC 173 in Las Vegas. Barao brought in a 34-1 record, was on a 22-fight win streak and hadn't lost in nine years.
But Dillashaw pulled off a stunning upset, using quick hands and exceptional footwork to dominate Barao from the start before finishing him with a fifth-round TKO.
"All you have to do is believe, baby!" Dillashaw said in the Octagon. "Believe you're the best in the world and you'll get here!"
Dillashaw's rise through the ranks wasn't exactly meteoric, but he progressed quickly after turning pro in 2010.
TRAINING: My day generally consists of morning pro practice, followed by either wrestling, grappling or sparring, and then some Bang Muay Thai in the afternoon. In the evening I do strength and conditioning and find time for rest and recovery between each practice.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training after I graduated college and my college wrestling career was over. I didn't reach all my goals in wrestling and wasn't done competing, so, being a well rounded athlete, I thought I could be good at fighting and I gave it a shot.

The Difference Between "Rule of Law" and "Rule by Law" (A.G. Gonzales Please Take Note)
Brian Tamanaha
Although there are various definitions of the "rule of law," a core element that all definitions share is the notion that the government and its citizens must abide by the law. This idea raises a problem that prompted philosophers as diverse as Aquinas and Hobbes to express doubts about whether the rule of law is possible. The problem is this: the government is the source of (state) law, so it cannot be bound or coerced by the law, because one cannot bind or coerce oneself. In Hobbes' words, "he that is bound to himself only, is not bound." Aquinas put it in these terms: "The sovereign is said to be exempt from the law; since, properly speaking, no man is coerced by himself, and law has no coercive power save from the authority of the sovereign. Thus then is the sovereign said to be exempt from the law, because none is competent to pass sentence upon him, if he acts against the law."
Exactly so! The Justice Department is not just any branch of government. That is why, when the Bush Administration has riddled the entire government with corruption, the corruption of the Justice Department is different from, and more alarming than, the corruption of other executive agencies.
"We have partially solved this conundrum through an institutionalized separation of the "sovereign.""
We also tried to solve it by having a special class of law which is supposed to bind the sovereign, but which the sovereign isn't permitted to change without an involved formal procedure meant to require social consensus.
But there does in fact seem to be no way to force the sovereign to use that procedure anymore. Remarkably, some people actually celebrate the loss of that safeguard.
There is a coercive power other than military might: the power of the purse. This administration hears only statements from power. The time is well past for Congress to answer in kind. Make all appropriations contingent on compliance with Congressional oversight. If that means temporarily shutting down the federal government than so be it; this is that important.
Have any of the professors who post here ever actually worked in a prosecutor's office at the state or federal level? Every time I read posts like this claiming that prosecutor's offices are generally apolitical unless someone by the name of Bush is in charge, I tend to think not.
I have worked in two prosecutor's offices and practiced in cooperation with or against several others.
News flash!
Every single office I have had dealings with is political in that they prioritize their limited resources to accomplish what the boss wants done. If an attorney does not want to pursue the goals of the boss, he or she is generally not long for the office.
This is how it should be. Prosecutors are elected to serve the will of the voters or are appointed by elected officials who serve the will of the voters.
My first boss was elected on a platform of jailing criminals and enforcing laws against pornography in our rural district.
In contrast, my second boss was elected on a platform of alternative sentencing to rehabilitate criminals in our urban district. He developed one of the most innovative juvenile programs in the nation and devoted a far larger percentage of his budget there than did my first boss.
There is nothing "corrupt" or wrong about following the priorities of the elected official in charge of that prosecutor's office.
Of course, the targets of the prosecutor's law enforcement priorities will probably have a different and more negative view of those priorities than will the voters who elected the prosecutor or the official who appointed the prosecutor. That is the situation here where congressional Dems are the target of Justice's priorities to prosecute election fraud and are fighting back by attacking that priority as "political" because they cannot defend the fraud itself.
There is no crime in having political priorities influence prosecutorial actions. There are crimes that can (and may have been committed) in abusing prosecutorial discretion or in obstructing justice. Neither of thse statements is relevant to the debate here. The problem is that we seem neither to be able to agree that 'anything within the bounds of legality goes' when it comes to organizing and structuring the DoJ's business, because neither party can stomach the idea of being on the losing of end of this, nor can we agree on the fact that there are 'extra-legal' boundaries which limit the pursuit of political objectives but which are not themselves 'laws.' So discussing 'the rule of law' doesn't help. Both the left and the right at various times have paraded the notion that 'everything is politics' and there is no coherent and consistent party position in oppositon to this. Today it is Democrats, and the left in general, who are arguing that there HAS BEEN an 'accepted' notion of 'the right way to do things' that flourished until the Bushies came to power, but not so long ago, the same folks were arguing that there was no such thing as a 'right way' to do things, there was only the 'way things were done' which depends mostly on power relations. Law as such has done what it can, well or ill, for us (even to the point where the constitution is being called into question as the source of our difficulties). No, it is time to discuss, describe, define and promote in the most serious way the social and political virtues that are required for the effective and decent operation of our type of government. After all, isn't a democracy defined as a govermment in which everyone gets what the majority deserves? DREED
There's a difference between having policy priorities (loosely or even not so loosely associated with the general platform of the party in pwer), and (ab)using the DoJ, turning it into just one more weapons for the achievement of party power. The problem is not whether to enfore or not enforce (and if so, how vigourously and how strictly) election laws and corruption laws, but rather, whether particular types of prosecutions are targeted only at one party, and if others are quashed or discouraged because of the party of the alleged perps. When the DoJ gets turned into a wholly owned subsidiary of the RNC (and in particular, of the most partisan hacks and thugs therein), then we have problems.
But the good news is that responsible Republicans are of the considered opinion that even the lowly White House Travel Office should not be subject to allegedly partisan machinations, and if such is alleged, a special prosecutor equipped with the full power and resources of the FBI and millions in taxpayer funds in pocket ought to be brought in to get to the bottom of things.....
Faces or a vase? Are we looking at the donut when we should be paying attention to the hole?
Actually, much more interesting than the case of the fired USAs is what those that were not fired were up to.
The ones that got fired refused to go on partisan witch-hunts (or pursued corruption within the maladministration, or both). They have unarguably done nothing wrong.
Did the ones that didn't get fired make a deal with the devil? Did they pursue cases (and/or ignore others) for partisan purposes like good little Bushistas?
In re: questionable actions involving USAs:
Via The Carpetbagger Report:
* Paul Krugman noted a couple of weeks ago, for example, that Chris Christie, the former Bush "Pioneer" who is now the U.S. attorney for New Jersey, issued subpoenas as part of an investigation against Sen. Bob Menendez (D) shortly before last year's election.
* In New Hampshire, Democrats want Congress to investigate whether prosecution of a Republican phone-jamming scheme on Election Day 2002 was intentionally delayed until after the presidential election two years later.
* Did the U.S. Attorney's office in Pennsylvania intentionally target Bob Casey allies to undermine his Senate campaign against Rick Santorum?
* Why was the career U.S. Attorney in Guam removed in 2002 after he started investigating disgraced GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff?
* Why has Western Pennsylvania's U.S. attorney, Mary Beth Buchanan, spent a disproportionate amount of her time launching public-corruption investigations against Democrats, while overlooking Republicans?
* In July 2005, the U.S. Attorney in Denver decided not to pursue a matter in which bouncers at a Bush event impersonated Secret Service agents to throw out three law-abiding ticket-holders because of their bumper sticker (the Denver Three controversy). Did politics dictate the decision?
As Bud Cummins, one of the purged prosecutors, recently explained:
"[T]he public must perceive that every substantive decision within the department is made in a neutral and non-partisan fashion. Once the public detects partisanship in one important decision, they will follow the natural inclination to question every decision made, whether there is a connection or not."
Bingo. It's the consequence of the administration undermining public confidence in the system.
The people who wrote the Constitution understood the problem quite well.
This is why they didn't let the federal government have a large standing army which would enable it to enforce its will without the active support and cooperation of the individual states, and the individual citizens.
The 2nd Amendment is, and was always intended to be, the "reset" button for our government
Mr DePalma,
Cynicism masquerading as realistic sophistication is still cynicism.
Before I became a professor, I practiced law as a public defender and later as a prosecutor, and Marty worked in DoJ, so you are not the only one with insights from the field.
We have all seen (and engaged in) good and bad practices--the key is to be able to recognize the difference.
How the separation of powers addresses the problem of sovereignty posed by aquinas and hobbes, and later expanded for a modern context or notion of state by schmitt (unacknowledged here), is only partially addressed here. The separation of powers necessarily precludes the identification of the office of the executive with the person occupying the office. Congress can hold the person accountable for abuse of the power given to the executive office, not the office itself. At that point, the person can be thrown out of office, while the coercive power of the state (found in the executive office) remains in the executive office. By the same argument, a weak congress and judiciary establishes more identification between the man and the office, and therefore the state itself. Schmitt's relation to Nazism, where the sovereign power of the state is fully constituted not only in an "executive office" but in the man occupying the office – because the two are identical – is found in this argument. He believed the state's power, diluted between branches, was divided against itself and therefore weak. The alternative, a state with no contradiction or self-dividedness, was fascism, and the full power of the state is in the hands of one person.
Bart DePalma doesn't seem too cynical to me. Doesn't everyone in politics hire based on politics? Even justices and other federal judges do it (looking for signals on resumes like Federalist Society or Larry Tribe recommending the applicant). Why are prosecutors, federal or local, any different? They are political actors too, regardless of any hope that they might not be.
If there's a story here, it's that incompetent lawyers were hired. But, that lawyers with political associations or leanings were hired is old news.
To the victor goes the spoils, right?

Better in the original French: "L'etat c'est moi"....
matthew wrote: Congress can hold the person accountable for abuse of the power given to the executive office, not the office itself.
That manner of checking executive power didn't work so well for the Roman Republic. (See Julius Caesar.) The Constitution empowers Congress to hold the office accountable, with the power of the purse, among other things. Congress needs to assert its own authority as vigorously as the Executive asserts its.
papabear wrote: The 2nd Amendment is, and was always intended to be, the "reset" button for our government
I have trouble imagining a citizenry armed with shotguns, or even assault rifles, prevailing against modern tanks. If we were serious about maintaining the ability of the citizenry to violently overthrow their government, then we would preserve unfettered access to information on producing weapons of terrorism. I don't think that would be a good idea. Far better to rely upon civilians' economic power to check their government.

See arne langsetmo's comment above on the difference between having policy priorities versus using government offices as a tool for partisan entrenchment. That is the crucial distinction.
Administrations may be Republican or Democratic, but never the Justice Department itself.
Do you actually believe this? Was the Clinton era Justice Dept neither Democratic nor Republican? The Kennedy era one, run by JFK's brother? This seems to be deliberate self-deception.
See arne langsetmo's comment above on the difference between having policy priorities versus using government offices as a tool for partisan entrenchment.
If the Democrats do it, it is setting policy priorities, but if the Republicans do it, it is "partisan entrenchment"? How can the two be distinguished, other than by your partisan affiliation? Was Clintons firing of the US Attorneys "setting policy priorities", or was it "partisan entrenchment"? Explain your answer.
When decisions are made to further objectives believed to be in the public good, then it is setting policy objectives.
When decisions are made to further the partisan political asperations of a specific party, then it is partisan entrenchment.
For example, deciding to focus prosecutorial resources on public corruption is an appropriate policy objective. By contrast, filing a dubious "voter fraud" indictment two weeks before an election because it will suppress voter turnout and favor your party is inappropriate partisan entrenchment.
Sometimes distinguishing the two may be hard; there are certainly gray areas. That's why Congress is holding hearings. From the testimony that I have heard, I don't believe that what occurred falls close to a gray area. I am convinced that some people in the Justice Department (such as Bradley Schlozman) were inappropriately using a government office for partisan entrenchment.
(By the way, please forgo the conservative talking points like "Clinton dismissed prosecutors too." Those lines work only on the uninformed. Most everyone reading this blog understands the difference between dismissing prosecutors at the start of an administration ... which both Bushes, Clinton and Reagan all properly did ... versus dismissing a select few prosecutors mid-term.)
Certainly congress can check the power of the executive branch, but they cannot charge the executive branch with misconduct, or abuse of power, which is what I was referring to. For that they charge the person holding the office, challenging the validity of that person's claim to the office.
But this clarification reminds me I forgot to make my point in the previous reply. The question was "How can the executive branch be subject to coercion if it is the source of coercion? More specifically, how can we insure that the Justice Department, which holds the coercive power of the federal government, abides by and enforces the law?"
My answer: The executive branch cannot be subject to coercion, but the person occupying the executive office can be (once removed from office.) It is this non-identification between office and office-holder, implicit in congress's right to impeach, that essentially prevents sovereignty from accumulating in the executive branch.
Before Bush, the opinion was that a great deal more in the constitution prevented this accumulation of power, but it turns out that much of this can be circumvented by clever lawyers (Addington). Impeachment remains, however.
thanks so much i like very so much your post

Mary M.Austin, TxHairLight BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairIt Works. Look No Further.After my healthy hair was left really damaged (fried) after my last color service, I was faced with cutting my hair shorter if I couldn't restore it. My hair was like rope - I kid you not. I learned (from the pro's) that using treatments with protein will continue to dry the hair shaft so I began looking into some of the oils. I tried the Jose Moran Argan oil and really liked the way my hair looked, but it was a temporary fix. Hair reverted back to dried rope prior to heat styling. I received the Amika sample in an old order and had not used it until now. I applied it to my damaged hair one night with the intention of shampooing in the morning. When I awoke, my hair was so soft and healthy looking. This oil is super light and just absorbs into my hair without leaving any oily appearance. I washed/conditioned with Joico products and then reapplied the Amika oil to my towel dried hair. Again, the hair absorbed the Amika leaving it silky and to date, it has not reverted back to the dry processed "rope." My hair is transformed. Even my husband can't believe the difference in my hair. No frizz and super soft with body and shine. I have been using it for 2 months now and my hair looks and IS so healthy once again. I didn't think it was possible. A close second to this product is the Shu Uemura Essence Absolue oil-in-crème (camellia oil.)

Miss Ophelia RoseChapel Hill, NCHairAuburnNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairWow!!!I LOVE this stuff! I received a free sample of this when I received my Theorie curling iron set (be sure to read my review on that too!). Sending that sample was a smart move on Folica's part, because after using that little sample for about a month now, I am actually ordering the full size. A little goes a looooong way, so make sure to not pour this stuff into your hands. If you have really dry hair like me, and mine is very long, you will end up using no more than about 3-4 drops. This adds such shine to my hair, and oh does it have a lovely scent! It doesn't have that feeling that a lot of oils have where they just way your hair down and do nothing to improve it. This is a thick consistency, and when you distribute it through your hair, your hair is not weighed down, but is shiny and smooth. Unbelievable!!!! I highly recommend this product, and hope that Folica will send me more samples of products to try.
Hey Folica, why not do a sample program where your loyal customers get to try new things? ;)3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Amja J.Bay Area, CAPerfect Sealant!I bought One N Only Argan oil because of all the hype. I figured all the people who raved about it couldn't be wrong. They were. It's a great heat protectant, but thats it. I got a sample of the Amika with my flatiron and I forgot about it. I didn't expect much when I finally tried it. The smell is really strong and perfumey but it goes away when you put it on your hair. I used it to seal my hair after putting my moisturizer on and then wrapped my hair. My hair felt soft when I took my wrap down and not super dry like with the OneNOnly. I had been slacking on sealing my hair because I didn't want to weigh it down with oil. This is exactly what I've been looking for.posted Jan 5, 2013Link to this post

AmMidwest, USAHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairLove The Smell!I received a small bottle of this product as a free sample in a past Folica purchase and have used it several (10 or more) times so far. The scent to me is its best selling point. It does seem to soften my hair a little, slightly more than the argan oil I was trying out before that. Yes, I realize this product's #1 ingredient is dimethicone, plus it contains argan oil, which is why I think it softens more than the argan oil alone. Maybe certain silicones are worth it. All I know is I like this product so far and intend to continue using it (will probably return to my pure argan oil after this, just to use up the bottle, $34 for Amika looking a bit steep to me). If I could get another trial size bottle, that would be cool, but I doubt I'd pay that much for this, even though it does smell so nice.posted Oct 4, 2012Link to this post

Helen G.Louisville, KYHairCurly HairColor Treated HairAmika Obliphica Oil TreatmentI am in love with this product. I started using this product in February and just ran out a few weeks ago. This is a very very good heat protector. You can't go wrong with Amika. I have the flat iron, the shampoo/conditioner & the hydration creme. Amika is a product line I use when I straighten my natural 4a hair with the flat iron. Amika products leave my strands protected, moisturized and shiny.posted Aug 23, 2012Link to this post

JessecaMontgomery, ALHairMedium BrownNormal HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairAfter A Year, Still Loving It!If I still love this after a year of using it, that says a lot, right? I got a sample when I bought my Solia flat iron (also love! so much better than my CHI that broke because of its stupid cord design, and CHI has gone downhill since then anyway, but that's a story for another review). After a year's liberal use every time I shampoo my hair, I've still got half a bottle, so it really feels like a bargain.
Here's what kind of hair I have: the individual strands are very fine and thin, but I have a hell of a lot of them. And it's got a bit of natural curl to it. The combination of thin, curly hair with deep south humidity has meant that for most of my life I've had frizzy uncontrollable hair. The best I could hope to do was the blow dry it into the general shape that I wanted. But often within half an hour of drying my hair, even without going outside, it would start to go crazy! So much so that when I lived in the South and was skinny enough to pull it off, I just kept it at a couple of inches long. I let my hair grow out when I lived in the midwest's just-right most days humidity. Somewhere along the way I also discovered flat irons, and now that I've come back to the south, having a professional hair dryer, flat iron, and this hair oil make my hair manageable enough most days that I don't whack it off, which I'd previously thought was impossible.
I don't really use a lot of products because I like my hair to have a natural feel. I'm fidgety, and I like to touch my hair, which I know is not really a great habit. So I like products that make it so I can run my fingers through my hair, which is I guess to say I like products that are relatively light.
Only rarely have I accidentally applied too much. My hair goes past my shoulders, so I use more than a couple of drops. I use a few dashes of the product, coat my palms, and starting with the back and the middle of the hair work my way down, so the bulk of the product isn't at my roots or the front. Then I get the top of my head and my bangs. I like to do it while my hair is still pretty wet. It seems to distribute better. Then I comb it through and put it up in a clip for a while until I'm ready to dry it.
I also use this when I air dry my hair, and it makes a big difference to cut the frizz out of my curls (I am in total denial that I really have curly hair!). But it helps even more to use a little styling gel if I'm going to let my hair dry naturally.
At minimum, that this is the only product I use. Sometimes after styling, when it's especially humid out, I'll smooth on a couple more drops. Definitely drops at this stage! I'll also use little of an Aveda product--a light finishing cream. But when it's really humid and I'm going to have to be outside a lot (plus it's hot as hell in Alabama in the summer) I'll use a clip to put it up, and then have my bangs down. That way at least, at the end of the day, I can take out the clip and the hair that was clipped is usually still not frizzy, unless it's a rainy day or I get sweaty hot head.
Between my CHI ionic dryer (which needs to be replaced. I'm on folica now to buy a replacement), the Solia Flat Iron (which also doesn't catch and snag the hair like the CHI did), and this fantastic hair serum, my hair gets a whole lot less damage. Even now, it's been OMG four or five months since I've had a cut. I just forget and get lazy. Anyway, even now, so long since my last cut, I really don't have that many split ends, not like you'd expect for sure.
I feel like this product protects my hair when I iron it. It definitely makes it smoother, so the iron just glides over the hair. It helps a bit with humidity control too, but not 100%. Or not for frikken ALABAMA's insane humidity. Plus I have to walk a lot from my car and to the various classrooms I teach in across campus, so there's no escaping the humidity. But my hair is way more manageable, shiny, and less frizzy than without the product. Even in Alabama, I can often get two or three days out of one shampoo and style, even in the summer, if I stay out of the rain and don't go for a run. There's just no way I can not shampoo my hair after a run. It would be gross.
Oh, my hair is so much better now than before I discovered professional styling tools and products! I wish I'd had access to this kind of stuff when I was in middle or high school a million and a half years ago.
This stuff does what it claims to, smells great, and is a bargain considering how little you need to use and how long it lasts. I think I'm going to get two years out of my bottle, and I use the crap out of this stuff! DEFINITELY FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!5 out of 5 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Lisa R.United StatesHairMedium BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairGood, But Not The Best.This product is good, but not the best. The glass bottle makes it difficult to pour b/c you can't squeeze the bottle and it's hard to get any out. I actually hate the bottle! It's not greasy (used sparingly) like other reviews I have read and it does seem to smooth down and control frizz but it still does not compare to Farouk BioSilk- Silk Therapy... I love that product!

Lauren P.AtlantaHairAuburnCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairIn LoveI received this product as a sample and of course, gave it a try. I have colored, long wavy/curly hair that I regularly blow out and straighten. I am always looking for product to make it look healthy and shiny. It definitely delivered and I was able to get several tests out of the one sample. This is the first time I used an oil in my hair and was a little shy about it maybe making my hair look greasy but it definitely did not. I loved it so much I ordered the product.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Tove R.HairDark BrownCurly HairVery Lightweight!I just tried a sample of Amika that came with my last order and I love it! It's very light weight, doesn't weigh down my hair, and keeps it beautifully curly when I want curls! The scent is not offensive at all, matter of fact I thought to myself, "wow, what a nice scent" when I opened the pouch. And you don't need much. Nice sample, thanks!4 out of 4 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

More than half a billion birds of some 400 different species pass through the Jordan Valley to Africa and go back to Europe when summer comes. Some 50,000 gray cranes stayed this winter in the Agamon Hula Lake instead of migrating to Africa, taking advantage of the safety of this artificial water source.

Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt of Fareed Zakaria's column in this week's TIME Magazine, which you can read in full here, behind a paywall.
By Fareed Zakaria
"Mass incarceration on a scale almost unexampled in human history is a fundamental fact of our country today," writes the New Yorker's Adam Gopnik. "Over all, there are now more people under 'correctional supervision' in America - more than 6 million - than were in the Gulag Archipelago under Stalin at its height."
Is this hyperbole? Here are the facts. The U.S. has 760 prisoners per 100,000 citizens. That's not just many more than in most other developed countries but seven to 10 times as many. Japan has 63 per 100,000, Germany has 90, France has 96, South Korea has 97, and Britain - with a rate among the highest - has 153....
This wide gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world is relatively recent. In 1980 the U.S.'s prison population was about 150 per 100,000 adults. It has more than quadrupled since then. So something has happened in the past 30 years to push millions of Americans into prison.
That something, of course, is the war on drugs. Drug convictions went from 15 inmates per 100,000 adults in 1980 to 148 in 1996, an almost tenfold increase. More than half of America's federal inmates today are in prison on drug convictions. In 2009 alone, 1.66 million Americans were arrested on drug charges, more than were arrested on assault or larceny charges. And 4 of 5 of those arrests were simply for possession....
Bipartisan forces have created the trend that we see. Conservatives and liberals love to sound tough on crime, and both sides agreed in the 1990s to a wide range of new federal infractions, many of them carrying mandatory sentences for time in state or federal prison. And as always in American politics, there is the money trail. Many state prisons are now run by private companies that have powerful lobbyists in state capitals. These firms can create jobs in places where steady work is rare; in many states, they have also helped create a conveyor belt of cash for prisons from treasuries to outlying counties.
Partly as a result, the money that states spend on prisons has risen at six times the rate of spending on higher education in the past 20 years. In 2011, California spent $9.6 billion on prisons vs. $5.7 billion on the UC system and state colleges. Since 1980, California has built one college campus and 21 prisons. A college student costs the state $8,667 per year; a prisoner costs it $45,006 a year.
The results are gruesome at every level. We are creating a vast prisoner underclass in this country at huge expense, increasingly unable to function in normal society, all in the name of a war we have already lost....
Read the full article at TIME.com.
Would like to read the entire article here at CNN. Nice to see CNN finally making an effort at presenting the facts to the American public that the War on Drugs is a total failure. Of course the statistics don't show the number of innocent people killed as a result of this insanity. Imagine this: You are a father of a 3 year old and are scheduled to have a custody meeting in three days. A police officer in a state that has a Medical Marijuana Law thinks he smells marijuana and notifies Child Protective Services, who in turn obtains a court order to remove the child from you. When CPS along with the police arrive at your house, you put up a fight about the removal of your child and are shot dead in front of your child by the officer. The irony, the toxicology report shows that you are clean, no alcohol, no drugs, no marijuana in your system. The officer isn't charged with a crime, because the officer claimed self defense. My bet: a vast majority of Americans would put up a fight to keep their children from being ripped from their arms. Since I see more than one person providing a link I will too.
Michigan Father Killed in Marijuana Child Removal Incident
Prohibition causes more harm than good, but prohibitionists fail to understand that. End the war on drugs. Legalize it.
What percentage of the prison population is
Life without parole
non violent
Drug possession
Now take all non violent put an ankle bracelet on them charge them a fee and send them home where they can go to and from work to home and that's it. Let a computer monitor their where abouts every five minutes.
next all non citizens deliver them to law enforcement in their native country. Let their own country pay for their incarceration.
Now for those with life without parole we find a piece of land five miles on a side no people on that land and put up a triple fence, middle fence electrified, with cameras, motion sensors, vibration sensors. Enough guards to keep the fence under observation with no guards inside the fence. Hand the felon a pack with garden seeds and hand tools for working the soil and put them through the fence where they can take care of them selves. No fly zone above the place with automatic shoot down.
Then dismantle the war on poverty. That is the biggest single factor among minorities breaking up families and putting young men in prison.
The above should save this nation at least half the current cost of our prison system and leave the prison population at or below 10% of what it was.
of course the reason usa has hi count of inmates is because the inmates and their familys have
conned the folks into abolishing death for bad crimes, and instead throw them out on the
streets too early --- obama, the man who siad he was gonna change everything fumbled
on this too....... he should have made admin law that law enforcement officers be given 2 pistols
one each hip and a sawed off shotgun 12 guage 0000 so when any criminal gave any lip
or any resistance our armed guys could blast away until the dummy stopped moving, etc etc
maybe we will some day get a president with balls of steel who is not afraid of his own shadow
and anyway spends all his time sucking up to foreigners who have pots of loot so he can honeydip
his hands into their loot and walk away with some without the dummiies knowing or as some
upfront payoff for bribes ongoing, one never knows....
Fared Zakaria does not get his reports of the news corrct because all he does is read the news published in India (east India) where he is from so he can translate into usa language and then mickey mouse his report so looks good, i.e. he
is good at window dressing, dumb as to discovering real news, and has scrambled brains to where he can not
figure out day from night nor if he is in east India or downtown new york city - o well ho hum ....................
Your commentary was misleading on Sunday April 1, 2012 on the number of incarcerated persons in the USA, with private business running our prisons. You pointed to California with its high cost to incarcerate a prisoner. The truth in California it is the high cost of the public service unions, which control California prisons and contributed large amounts of money to the California Politicians in return for lucrative public servant contracts. We recently saw the effects of this when Governor Davis was recalled in California, in part because of his relationship specifically with the State's Prison Guard Union. Just look at the cost per prisoner across the states. Private business has nothing to do with California prisons including the medical services.
Hey there, You've done a fantastic job. I will definitely digg it and in my view recommend to my friends. I'm sure they will be benefited from this web site.
I believe that is one of the so much vital info for me. And i am glad studying your article. However want to commentary on some common things, The web site taste is ideal, the articles is in reality great : D. Just right process, cheers

of course like your web site but you have to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the truth on the other hand I will definitely come back again.

Perhaps responding to the increasing criticism for its unconstitutional policies, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced major changes to its privacy policies. According to the agency, they will be utilizing newer technology in several U.S. airports. With the new equipment, when a passenger goes through a "naked body" scanner at a security checkpoint, a generic outline of a person is shown instead of a naked body.
The new technology is intended to address concerns posed by the advanced image technology (AIT) that has exposed naked pictures of travelers who enter the body scanners. Unsurprisingly, the scanners and the naked images that were produced by them provoked concerns regarding privacy rights.
Wired provides some background regarding the controversial scanners:

True, the economic forecast for 2013 calls for heavy fog. But that fog will be punctured by rays of sunlight to nurture growth once the U.S. government solves its debt crisis.
That was the mixed message offered by a panel of four speakers Thursday for the 2013 Economic Forecast at the Ramada Inn, hosted by the Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by RBC Wealth Management, Community Bank and Hancock Estabrook.Speakers were Michael A. Arcuri, attorney for Hancock Estabrook of Syracuse and former U.S. congressman; Anthony G. Collins, president of Clarkson University, Potsdam, and co-chairman of the North Country Economic Development Council; Nicholas Verbanic, vice president of Community Bank subsidiary Nottingham Advisors, and Cyril Mouaikel, Watertown branch manager of RBC Wealth Management.
Though plenty of positive things were said by these specialists, words such as uncertainty and instability cropped up frequently in their speeches. Mr. Verbanic, for example, said todays debt debate on Capitol Hill needs to be solved to encourage consumers, investors and business owners to start spending. But partisan squabbling has continued about raising the nations $16.4 trillion debt ceiling. Heavy budget cuts that still loom, related to the so-called fiscal cliff, only add to the uncertainty, he said.
Federal spending now amounts to 24.5 to 25 percent of gross domestic product, Mr. Verbanic said, but revenues amount to only 19.5 to 20 percent of GDP. Over the past five years, the Federal Reserve has quadrupled its purchases of government bonds as a way to lower interest rates artificially so they remained competitive.
As a consequence, the Reserves assets jumped from about $700 billion to $3 trillion during that time; the agency continues to buy bonds to the tune of $85 billion per month.
Theyve done this to buoy the market, but each round of spending has had less effect, Mr. Verbanic said.
Because of what he called the federal governments profligate spending habits, he predicated that 2013 will see a black swan a sudden, catastrophic event that causes the stock market to tumble. But investors who are prepared for that trend, he said, can be ready for it when the market bounces back.
The market always goes up on an escalator, but goes down on an elevator, he said. These events come out of the blue and disrupt markets, and I expect were going to wake up one morning in the next couple of months to see the stock market drop a couple of hundred points. But in that lies an opportunity, maybe by taking a defensive investing stance and being prepared for when that black swan arrives knowing what you will do with your capital.
A financial collapse could be avoided, though, if Congress puts politics on the back burner and makes meaningful cuts in entitlement and health care spending, Mr. Verbanic said. The U.S. has a genuine opportunity in 2013 to do the right thing to make sure spending is under control, and then open up the floodgates of corporate spending.
Mr. Collins said the pot of $90.2 million in state funding received in December by the North Country Economic Development Council indicates the seven-county upstate region is flourishing.
That pool of funding will be used to spur job creation for 82 projects. Major projects awarded funding include the ReEnergy Black River biomass facility planned at Fort Drum, the proposed 105-room Clayton Harbor Hotel and a large 364-unit apartment project proposed in the village of West Carthage to serve Fort Drum.
Mr. Collins attributed the regions success to the high level of cooperation involved to select proposed projects. Everyone on that council has done an amazing job sticking together, he said, and thats been our driver for success.
The north country may be better poised for business than any rural part of the country, he said, because we stay tight as a seven-county region and advocate for projects together.
One major hurdle that prevents New York from being business friendly, Mr. Arcuri said, is its plethora of cities, towns, villages and special districts.
While the state had about 2,000 municipalities in 1940, that number has skyrocketed to 10,5000 today. Texas has a population of 25 million, greater than New Yorks 19 million, yet Texas has only about 4,800 cities, towns and special districts.
With all things being equal, is a business going to stay in New York or go somewhere thats much more simple to do business? Mr. Arcuri asked. We need to continue to pressure local (municipalities) to study consolidation opportunities.

|Victim ID'd From Wednesday Fatal Fire
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 25 January 2013 11:38
The Boone Fire Department has released the name of the woman killed earlier this week in an early morning fire. June Kathleen Hicks, 59, died in her 131 Rocky Lane mobile home, found burning when explosions woke neighbors at about 3:40 Wednesday morning. Boone Fire officials
blamed the fatal fire on flammable materials being too close to a heat source, saying that Hicks had a number of heaters in use in her trailer at the time of the fire. Ronnie Marsh reiterated the need for everyone to be sure any flammable item is at least 3 feet from any heat source, and to check that smoke detectors are working. He said that damage was so severe that Boone Fire investigators were unable to determine whether there were working smoke detectors in the trailer.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Despite suffocating Drexel, the Colonial Athletic Association's top field goal percentage offense, to shoot just 28.6 percent in the first half, the William and Mary women's basketball team fell to the Dragons, 62-47, on Sunday afternoon at the Daskalakis Center. The setback drops the Tribe to 6-20 overall and 4-11 in CAA play, while Drexel improves to 19-7 on the season and 12-3 in league action.
Senior Emily Correal led the Tribe with 20 points and seven rebounds, while classmate Janine Aldridge chipped in with 12 points, which included two 3-pointers. Sophomore Jazmen Boone finished the afternoon with five points, while junior Kaitlyn Mathieu ripped down six rebounds.
Correal's 20 points marked the 18th time in her career that the Venetia, Pa., native has reached the 20-point mark, which ranks fourth in the Tribe record books. W&M finished the game shooting 37.3 percent (19-of-51) from the field, while it held the advantage in points in the paint (20-16) and bench points (11-8).
In the opening 20 minutes of action, the Tribe's stout defensive effort forced Drexel to shoot 10-of-35 from the field (28.6 percent). Play opened with the Dragons racing out to a 14-6 lead after Hollie Mershon's triple at the 14:45 juncture.
The Tribe countered as it netted eight of the next 10 points as Correal's foul shot got W&M to within 16-14 with 9:12 left to go. Drexel scored the next four points as its slim margin reached four, 20-16, with 7:58 left to play in the half.
With the stanza coming to a close, the Green and Gold used a quick 5-0 spurt as it got to within 30-27 at intermission. Aldridge accounted for all five points as her 3-pointer at the 1:04 mark cut the deficit to 30-25. Moments later, her coast-to-coast lay up with 39 seconds remaining proved to be the half's final points.
An energized Tribe squad got off to a hot start in second half action as Aldridge scored the stanza's opening four points, the latter, a jumper at the 19:31 mark gave the Tribe a 31-30 advantage.
However, Drexel responded with a run as Mershon's layup gave the Dragons and 43-33 advantage with 11:20 left in regulation. Back-to-back jumpers from sophomore Kyla Kerstetter and senior Taylor Hilton got the Green and Gold to within 43-37 with 8:54 remaining.
After a surging W&M squad cut the deficit to six, the Dragons put the contest out of reach as it scored seven unanswered points. Meghan Creighton's 3-pointer at the 7:05 mark pushed the Drexel margin to 50-37 as the Tribe didn't get within single digits for the remainder of the contest.
Meghan Creighton led Drexel with 20 points, while Hollie Mershon chipped in with 16 points and eight assists. The Dragons finished the contest shooting 38.3 (23-of-60) percent from the field, which included eight 3-pointers on 26 attemtps.
The Tribe returns to action as it host Georgia State on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Tip-off at Kaplan Arena in Williamsburg, Va., is scheduled for 7 p.m. and fans can follow the action online at TribeAthletics.com with video and stats.

Product Details
Subaru WRX 2009, DT-P Coilover Kit by ARK Performance®. Pillow Ball Mount, 16 Way Adjustable Dampening, Camber Plate. Spring Rate: 6 Kg/mm (Front), 4 Kg/mm (Rear). ARK Performance DT-P monotube coilover systems are fully adjustable with 16 levels of dampening to fit your street or track needs. Our suspension systems are engineered and designed based on knowledge from our Team ARK Racing motorsports division and Formula Drift experience. The DT-P system offers pillow ball top mounts which are more performance oriented and allow for better adjustment of camber.
- All Bolt-on System
- 16 Level Dampening Adjustment
- Street Comfort, Performance Spec
- Pillow Ball Mounts
- Mono-tube Shock Design to React Quicker and Operate Quietly
- Height Adjustable
Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. 16 levels of dampening adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The dampening adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is eIectroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.
The ARK system uses a Monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube designs the Monotube dissipates heat better, allows finer dampening adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavatation are a lot less common in a Monotube design, which results in a better ride. The ARK DT-P Coilover system has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance.1,571.65Brand: ARK Performance Part Number: CD1300-0600 This part is compatible with 9 vehicle(s)

CSU, Social Innovation Generation will Create Green Jobs and Social Business Solutions
September 17, 2009
By Teresa Ruiz
California's economy may still be floundering, but more green-collar jobs, social entrepreneurship and sustainable communities are on the way now that several CSU campuses will be taking part in the pioneering Social Innovation Generation program.
CSU's participation in the Social Innovation
Generation project is just one of many ways
the CSU is working for California and helping
the environment.
Social Innovation Generation will focus on two key areas – developing student leaders who give back, and aiding in the state's recovery using social entrepreneurship, micro-financing and social investments. Five CSU campuses were selected to participate as part of a larger grant. Here is a list of their programs:
- Cal Poly San Luis Obispo will focus on the development of a more sustainable economy through green jobs
- Fresno State is expected to design and implement a multiphase neighborhood network initiative that involves alumni and local consultants. Workshops, assessments and customized implementation plans will be created to provide nonprofits with the capacity to fully meet the needs of the community
- Humboldt State will involve multiple disciplines in a food security-green sustainability program
- San Francisco State will work with coalitions of neighborhood groups to locally create safe, green and economically viable communities
- Chico State will create and implement the Chico Homeless Advocates (CHA) program, which will serve as a catalyst to recruit, screen and train student volunteers to staff local nonprofits serving the homeless
The effort is part of a larger $1 million grant awarded to the California Campus Compact (CACC) by Learn and Serve America Higher Education. CACC is a coalition of California's leading colleges and universities partnering to advance civic and community engagement. As part of the compact, CSU will take part in an amazing program that will benefit the state, communities and students. See Social Innovation Generation press release.

If you could live in any country for two years, where would you live and why? I would love to live in Costa Rica with my family for two years – I love the people, their sense of community, and the way they love and worship Jesus.
I love my job because... I get to spend my days working with students and coworkers who love the Lord. I love helping people fulfill God's call on their life.
How would you spend $1,000? If I didn't have to be responsible with it – I would spend a day in a luxury spa and get all the relaxation treatments they offer.
What's your ideal pet? I'm traditional – dogs and cats all the way.

Orton Family Plaid Flannel Pajamas 4 4
Papa needs warmth too Last year I was laid up with a knee waiting for replacement and my husband ordered the snuggy warm red plaid nighty for me for Christmas. So this year I went looking for a chance to return the favor. This may be Arizona but we still need to sleep warm. January 8, 2014
Nice PJs The color and fabric are nice on these pajamas; however, the buttons fall off in the wash. I have had the same problem with another plain blue pair I bought this season. It really is a pain having to sew them back on. I have bought similar pajamas for years and never had this problem. What has happened? One button I noticed had a loose thread I picked it up to cut it off and the whole thing unraveled. Very poor construction. December 4, 2013
Comfort Such As You Want And Desire! Many men are not big fans of pajamas, but after receiving these as a gift, I was amazed at the comfort, style, and luxurious "feel" of the thick, fluffy flannel material. These are simply another "first-class" product from the wonderful Orton family! They really know how to bring top quality products and foods to the public. I could not imagine anyone being disappointed by anything ordered through this website! November 12, 2012
This Product surprised me but tore in 3 weeks I was looking for matching set flannel PJ's with pockets and a fly in the pants. The product description didn't say there were pockets in the pants. I was delighted when they arrived that there were pockets in the pants and a fly. The fit is fine but the pockets are a little too shallow. I was very disappointed to get up 2 days ago and find that the shirt had a tear in the seam on the right side. I've had them only 3 weeks and haven't worn them all that time. October 13, 2012

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Men's Orton Family Plaid Flannel Pajamas …
"We love that you have hard-to-find items. Especially the men's pajama bottoms." - A.H. Lehman, San Francisco, CA
"The Orton Family Plaid pajamas are great. The material is soft and thick. The pajamas are well-made, and feel like they will last for years. The pants have pockets and an elastic waist with a drawstring (best of both worlds). The top has 4 buttons and a chest pocket. I bought several different pairs of pajamas (from this website and others) for my husband; these are far and away his favorites." - Holly, Richmond, CA

A wealth of advanced features.
For applications requiring up to 12 input channels the Yamaha MG124C Mixer offers stunning MG-series sound plus an extra margin of signal-routing versatility. In spite of the fact that it has 12 channels, 4 buses, and a wealth of advanced features, the MG124C Stereo Mixer is small and light enough (only 2.9 kilograms) to be tucked under an arm and set up just about anywhere. This remarkable sound mixer provides significant space savings along with huge performance benefits.
Inputs & channels
Flexible 12-Input Configuration
The MG124C both has a total of 12 input channels-- 4 mono microphone/line inputs and 4 stereo line inputs. 2 of the stereo line inputs can also function as mono microphone inputs, giving you up to six simultaneous mono microphone inputs when needed. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB - -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB - +10dB for line input.
Comprehensive, Easy-access Connector Panel
Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. Both models feature high- quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors on all four mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. The XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo channels provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of sources. The four mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separate pin-jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the output from a CD player or similar stereo source.
Six High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power
The microphone preamplifiers in any mixer are critical to its overall performance. The microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit technology from Yamaha's top-line professional consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. All six microphone preamps feature switchable phantom power so you can take advantage of the natural, extended response of high-quality condenser microphones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all microphone channels.
Built-in Channel Compressors
Built-in channel dynamics is usually only found on high-end (and very expensive) consoles. The MG124C features Yamaha's innovative one-knob compression feature on mono input channels 1 through 4. This advanced feature can be a tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound. It can also be used to refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. Conventional audio compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time-consuming to set appropriately for a given source. Yamaha's one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree with a single control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want.
3-Band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter
Yamaha has decades of experience in building truly useful, musical equalization into successful pro consoles, and the channel equalizers in MG-series mixers carry on without compromise. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/6, and 7/8 feature full 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls, while 9/10 and 11/12 have 2-band EQ for smooth equalization of stereo sources.
Four Buses (Stereo and Group)
In addition to the main stereo bus the MG124C mixer features a stereo group bus and outputs that can be used for convenient channel grouping. Assign switches for the stereo and group buses are located next to each channel fader.
Illuminated Channel ON Switches
All input channels feature illuminated channel ON switches chat can be used to individually add or remove channels from the mix without having to change the positions of the channel faders.
Master & output section
Effect/Aux Sends
The Yamaha MG124C has dual AUX send controls for each channel, one switchable for pre- or post-fader operation, and one fixed for pre-fader send. Master send controls are also provided, as are RETURN level controls for the AUX and STEREO busses.
Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs
Located above the mixer's master controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the main stereo output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors, pin-jack recording outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. These versatile mixers offer plenty of connectivity for a wide range of applications.
Bright 12-Segment Meters for Visual Level Monitoring
Accurate visual level monitoring can help you achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratio without distortion. The MG mixer's bright, easy-to-read 12-segment LED meters make it easy to control system levels for optimum overall performance.
Unmatched ease & convenience
Smooth 60-millimeter Faders
Channel and master level control is accomplished via reliable, high-performance 60-millimeter linear faders that provide smooth, noise-free operation. An important advantage of linear faders is that they provide a direct visual indication of relative level settings
Easy Operation
All switches, controls, and displays have been designed and laid out for intuitive access and smooth, reliable operation with positive tactile and visual feedback.

I have been using this mixer for about a year and the quality of this thing just blows away the comp.
I had a behringer mixer before this one and was happy with it until I bought the Yamaha. It is so much cleaner on the sound that my recordings come out top quality now.
If your on the fence about getting it just do it. You won't be sorry.

Comments about Yamaha MG124C 12-Input Stereo Mixer with Compression:
I took the MG124C out of the box just three days ago, and I am already producing the cleanest music of my career! I am using the mixer for recording and chose it for its preamps, stereo buses and on-board compression.This mixer has an extremely clean sound, in that, voice and instruments sound very natural. The high pass filter effectively eliminates "boom" from both my vocals and acoustic guitar which enables a much cleaner mix when adding bass, percussion and other instruments.From a quality perspective, I am somewhat disappointed in the feel of the faders. They feel loose and cheap in comparison to the faders on my Roland recorder and other mixers I have used (Mackie,Sunn, Peavey, etc.). The rest of the mixer feels solid and well-constructed.For the price, I don't think you will get a better mixer. Again, the sound is incedibly clean, and Yamaha has designed this mixer for maximum flexibility - there are more ways to connect to inputs and outputs than on any mixer I have previously owned.
