#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Owner Is A Cheat & Lier
AUTHOR: Smartchic - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, August 27, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, August 27, 2013
I worked for this company previously and I can vouch that Terence is a scammer. I see that his he is currently OUT OF BUSINESS.. but someone need to report him. Everything that was reported about him is true. I had a big run down with him and he is nothing but a lier and a con-artist.
* He DOES NOT award raises - He'll promise a bonus for a certain quota and don't deliver.
* He ALWAYS say people are unreliable - He's lying. He uses that for every excuse to not pay.
* He DOES NOT pay his reps - I had a very hard time getting paid. After threatening him, he finally paid me.
* He Lies About Paperwork - He always say paperwork is late or missing to keep from paying you.
* He ALWAYS say people disappear then show back up for payroll. He used that same excuse with me.
I have reported him to several federal agencies. Hopefully a lawyer sees this and contact us, cause I would be more than happy to file legal paperwork on him for the headache. Plus I have all of the emails that he sent to me, as well as, that the sent to others - calling his workers curse words.
He'll act like he has a lawyer or something and has NOTHING. He threaten me several times and I have all of the emails. He also hung up in my face when I called him. Do not work for this guy!! He needs to be thrown in JAIL!!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Response From Company
AUTHOR: AdhipoyAdmin - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 15, 2013POSTED: Friday, March 15, 2013
We indeed DO pay our reps. In fact, unlike some other work from home companies out there,we offer direct deposit, paypal,loadable cards as a courtesy to our reps, AS OPPOSED to other companies who will only mail someone a check to work from home reps, which takes a great amount of time.
Now, from time to time, we come across people, who go through our training which is very detailed,who will come to work inconsistently...are constantly late...and/or disappear for long period of times during their shift, or who don't have the sufficient tools..ie properly functioning laptop or PC, their OWN internet connection, or who just don't follow our directives when dealing with our customers, etc etc...and who will also improperly fill out their own time sheets..ie missing information etc....and THEN simply abandon their posts and WE don't hear from them or cannot get in touch with them for over a week.
But of course when payday rolls around they show back up suddenly. Sometimes these people claim hours and work that were NOT performed and we have to correct ALOT of information.....in no case have we ever intentionally NOT paid someone monies they were truly owed.
We're not aware of this complaint HERE in the company. This person obviously has our phone # and email address...so I don't understand why,whoever this is, simply doesn't contact us.
We're a good company I believe. But yes, we DO require our reps to strive for excellence. We provide them will all the tools and help and motivation on a DAILY basis to do so. But consumer promotions isn't for everybody of course. We strive to be fair to everyone. And if we make a mistake we do our best to correct it.
I would hope this person would contact me and tell me what this is all about. and IF I can rectify it I would appreciate an UPDATE from this person here on this site.

The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) would like to remind individuals, families and businesses in Mississippi whose property has been damaged or destroyed and whose losses are not covered by insurance that they may be eligible to receive cash grants of up to $26,200 per individual or household.
When state and federal officials inspect a victim's property for damages, providing receipts will help make an accurate determination of losses and ability to evaluate their eligibility.
The FEMA Individuals and Households Program (IHP) is intended for one of the following uses only: housing repairs, temporary housing, or other needs assistance including personal property. Some examples of assistance provided by the IHP program are:
Another important reminder for disaster victims is to take photographs of damaged property before it is repaired. After completing the work, applicants should then keep their receipts for three years.
Every housing assistance request is treated individually, and each situation is different. After the applicant's information is reviewed by FEMA Human Services, a determination is made according to the applicant's need and the disaster assistance allowed by law.
State and federal officials stress that it is important for housing funds to be used only for disaster-related damages or losses.
To report fraud, waste or abuse in FEMA programs call the Fraud Hotline at 1-800-323-8603. The hotline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and all calls remain confidential. To report fraud via mail, write to: Department of Homeland Security, Attn: Office of Inspector General, Hotline, Washington, D.C. 20528.
For all other questions, applicants can call the FEMA Helpline 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or (TTY) 1-800-462-7585 for the speech or hearing-impaired.

Eclipse Home Decor Candle by the Hour Horizontal Candle

So, today's prompt is Guilty Pleasures. While I could sit here and be all prim and proper and say that my idea of a guilty pleasure is a bubble bath surrounded by candle while drinking tea, I'm not, because I wouldn't feel one scintilla of guilt if I would do that. In fact, I do that sometimes just to keep myself sane. I find it so funny that when you ask some women about their guilty pleasures, they will say, something along the lines of browsing Pottery Barn catalogs or sitting down to upcycle something they got at Goodwill. (Not that there is anything wrong with those things at all…I love me some Goodwill, and I love Pottery Barn) I think a lot of women are like me, they and will never admit it.
Deep Breath….Confession Time.
My guilty pleasure is…..
I will watch pretty much any show on Bravo, with the exception of Millionaire Matchmaker and Vanderpump Rules. My favorites are the Real Housewives, but they are starting to lose me. (Let's not even discuss the New Jersey cast) In fact, right now, I am watching Courtney Loves Dallas while sitting here with a facial mask on my face. Fun times in the Clark house!
The show that got me hooked on Bravo was Project Runway (then it moved to Lifetime and has never gotten their swagger back). I love, love, love Top Chef. I've actually, learned a lot and have sought out restaurants owned by past contestants.
Now that I have bared my soul and you know what I love, tell me what your guilty pleasures are. I'd love to hear about them!

Don't Expect the Big Guns for Emerging-Market Currency Rescues Just Yet
Investors shouldn't hold their breath for coordinated intervention among emerging markets to support their currencies, analysts say.
The idea started making the rounds in markets earlier Friday when Reuters cited Dipak Dasgupta, a senior economic adviser to the India Finance Ministry, as saying India was talking to other countries about coordinated currency intervention. He later clarified to The Wall Street Journal that it was his professional view that the countries should coordinate their actions and that he didn't know if India is actively discussing such efforts with any other country.
Also Friday, South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan warned that the rand's precipitous drop could exacerbate inflationary pressures, adding "we'll have to watch the situation on a day-by-day basis and see what lessons we can learn from others and what defensive measures we can develop on our own side."
Analysts broadly agree that any coordinated intervention would be politically and logistically difficult to execute. After all, a place like Brazil will have little motivation to spend its own money to help curb declines in the Indian rupee, when its own currency, the real, has hit four-year lows recently. But such market chatter reflects the broader need for a plan for these economies to stabilize local markets.
Brazil's central bank recently introduced a plan to inject at least $60 billion more of dollar liquidity into the foreign-exchange market through the end of the year, while India has announced a slew of policy measures aimed at stemming the rupee's slide. But investor confidence in these countries has yet to return. The Indian rupee is down about 20% year-to-date, while the real is down about 16% against the dollar, and the rand is down nearly 22%.
Dan Dorrow, head of research at Faros Trading in Stamford, Conn., said though coordinated intervention is unlikely to happen, it's not a bad idea.
"If you can stabilize [emerging-market currencies] together, it does in theory…make sense because contagion is the problem," Mr. Dorrow said. "What we need really is a shift in confidence."
He says a more feasible solution could be introducing dollar swap lines among some of these troubled economies. Indonesia's central bank said Thursday it had signed a bilateral swap agreement worth $12 billion with the Bank of Japan, and is exploring similar agreements with other central banks.
Through these swap lines, central banks can borrow foreign exchange that can be used as ammunition to maintain currency stability.
But others say emerging markets may be jumping the gun by seeking currency-supportive policy bazookas. Benoit Anne, global head of emerging-market strategy at Societe Generale, said coordinated intervention at this stage simply isn't necessary.
"This is not a financial crisis to me," he said. "This is a bear market after years of a bull market. It feels painful from a market perspective, but it's not that severe."

Beirut, LB
Project: POLIFORM
Architect: PAUL KALOUSTIAN ARCHITECT
Collaborators: VICKEN KHATCHERIAN – JAY J KALOUSTIAN
Client: GEAHCHAN GROUP
Location: SIN EL FIL – BEIRUT
Built-up Area: 900 m2
Completed: 2011
Photography: CARL GERGES
The IN/OUT showroom is located on a first floor of an office building in Beirut and houses the Poliform furniture brand as well as the Varenna kitchens.
The entry is conceived as an exterior ramp that leads directly into the showroom thus disconnecting it from the building.
The central element of the showroom is the lighting. We focused our design on creating a lighting feature that could allow a maximum flexibility in furniture arrangement in the 900m2 space.
The use of polycarbonate sheets covering the T5 linear fluorescent tubes generates an illuminated and blurred horizontal surface rather than a decorative item.
By using a highly transparent facade, we exposed the showroom to the immediate context, the roads and the passing cars, and created the feeling of urbanity with the exposed furniture.
Status: Built

If you want to find ways to make your family stronger and closer the good news is that there are many different ways that you can do just that. The tips listed below show the many things that you can do to help your family become stronger, closer, and experience more happiness. Best of all, most of these tips require only a simple change in attitude and will produce big results. It is important to keep in mind that the needs of your family will vary greatly and will be influenced by the size and makeup of your family. However, you can adapt these tips to fit your needs. Here are some things you can do to make your family stronger-
- Treat all family members equally-While there may be times that someone in the family has needs that become more important then everyone else's most of the time everyone in the family should be treated equally. When every member of the family knows that they are considered just as important as the next person their feelings of happiness will increase and the family will become stronger. There should never be any type of behavior that demeans any member of the family. Every person who lives in your home and is part of your family should feel that their voice, opinions, and even their presence matter. When this happens your family automatically becomes stronger.
- Teach your family important core values-Strong families have important core values that each member is taught and chooses to abide by. You want to make sure that your children know what is important to you in terms of right and wrong. While your values may be different from other families teaching your family members values such as: respect, tolerance, compassion, and service can make them both stronger and happier. How you teach your family these core values can be a part of a religion or it can happen strictly within your home. When your family has this moral code they can operate both better as a family unit and as individuals out in the world.
- Make sure that your family eats together regularly-Researchers are not sure of all the implications of sharing a meal together but studies show that strong families sit down and eat together on a regular basis. While the recommendations what to eat dinner together at least 4 times a week keep in mind that any meal that is eaten together serves to strengthen the family bond. When your family sits down to eat together it has been shown that not only does communication improve between family members (which contributes to stronger families), but children often perform better in school and are less likely to become involved with drugs and alcohol. In addition, families that eat together most often have better nutrition which contributes to better overall health for all family members.
- Learn to compromise in everything that affects your family-Many people have the mistaken idea that rigidity and organization are what contribute to a strong family. Studies have actually shown the opposite is true. While there certainly needs to be rules about how things are run in the family and organization should be used, the strongest families are found to be the ones that have a sense of compromise in what they do. Just like the tree that needs some slack to bend against the wind your family needs to some space to give and take as it negotiates the path to happiness. Fostering a sense of compromise will allow each family member and the family as a unit to grow and develop and become stronger.

I taught my first class today and started out with a movie clip. I like to show at least one movie or portion of a movie in class. Just because its fun and it reminds students that issues related to corporations are all around them. I also find that students tend to remember issues better when I can contextualize them with a movie or TV show. My old stand-by for Corporations is Barbarians at the Gate, but I also show a clip of Trading Places in my Securities Regulation course (the scene invovlving trading in frozen concentrated orange juice). However, I am always looking for new movies to show. Does anyone have any ideas on some good movies, portions of movies, or TV shows with good corporate themes?

I've also used that clip from Trading Places (the best way to introduce derivatives!) and I'm planning on showing Barbarians to my Venture Capital & Private Equity class to introduce buyouts.
I've been teaching clips from Startup.com for some time now. It's a great documentary, although it has aged rather rapidly. Some of our students were in high school during the dot com boom.

In terms of fictional movies, "Wall Street" and "Boiler Room" deal with the securities markets. "Working Girl" deals with the merger of a corporation with a radio conglomerate to prevent a Japanese takeover of the corporation. "Its a Wonderful Life" deals with the struggles of running a family owned savings and loan during the Depression and World War II. "Citizen Kane" traces the life cycle of a media conglomerate that starts as a small newspaper business, acquires radio stations and other enterprises and then goes bankrupt in the Great Depression.
In terms of documentaries, in addition to "Startup.com", there is "The Corporation", "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room", "Roger & Me", "Supersize Me", "Wal-mart: The High Cost of Low Prices", and Frontline's "Is Wal-mart Good for America?"
I like the film, "The Corporation," because it is concerned with whether there are systemic forces (the law, the market) which force corporations to be only concerned about shareholder wealth maximization even if they may harm other stakeholders to achieve this. The other documentaries deal only with individual firms. As a result, it is easy for students to dismiss the problems raised as unique to those corporations.
One of the producers behind the film is a law professor, Joel Barkan. The web site for the film also includes notes on how professors can use it to provoke class discussions. See www.thecorporation.com
The Synposis of "The Corporation" on its web site states the following:
"THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics - including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.
Winner of 24 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS, 10 of them AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDS including the AUDIENCE AWARD for DOCUMENTARY in WORLD CINEMA at the 2004 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL."
Although not agreeing with its conclusions, The Economist magazine gave the film a positive review. Michael Wilmington, the film critic for the Chicago Tribune, had this to say about "The Corporation":
"Over and over, 'The Corporation's' interviewees give examples of much modern corporate mischief and misbehavior (along with some good deeds), ranging from the excesses of an Enron to the stifling of a couple of investigative reporters at Fox News. And several times, they ask implicitly, whether a person who behaved like this would be regarded as a suitable case for treatment.
That the filmmakers . . . already know the answer may be the film's main flaw. But that doesn't mean this is just another politicized documentary preaching to the anti-establishment choir. It's a movie so chock full of information, so dense with context and analysis that it will keep you thinking and reacting, no matter what your bent or slant--and no matter where you stand on the world-wide corporate ladder."

I recommend "Rouge Trader" about the Lesson/Barings scandal in the early 90s. Some good derivatives stuff as well as the behind the scenes of what goes into trading.

I'm as ready as the next person to inject popular culture (and humor) into teaching, but as somebody who lived in the corporate world, I have real reservations about using Hollywood's version of it as a pedagogical tool, except when the very small clip would illustrate a particular point.
On the other hand, I showed Startup.com to my venture capital seminar, and would use it in a heartbeat in a business planning class. I can see using a well-done documentary later in the class or in an advanced class.
For what it's worth, I start my BE I class with a hypothetical (posted with the first set of assignments) that is a business planning problem. It's designed to have the students, most of whose notions of corporations (if they have any notions at all) ARE formed by movies, think about the issues underlying legal forms of enterprise in context. (Available at no charge to anyone who wants it!)
I assume most of the movies listed above are listed because they have something to do with corporations, and not because they have any teaching purpose. Starting a BE class with Roger & Me? Or Citizen Kane? Or Oliver Stone's take on Wall Street? C'mon. I will do it when Laurence Tribe starts his Con Law class with "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington."

The question posed was: Does anyone have any ideas on some good movies, portions of movies, or TV shows with good corporate themes? The question did not require that one had actually shown all or portion of the films suggested in class and I did not say that I showed all or a portion of each of the films that I listed in class. Frankly, I wouldn't have time to cover what needs to be covered and show all those films.
I think that good teaching starts with something that the students know (or think they know) and uses that to help them understand the concepts that they don't know. Since some students know virtually nothing about business prior to entering law school, there is a danger that a Business Associations class will feel to those students like the class started with the unknown and built to the more unknown leaving them feeling completely lost.
Those students who had no meaningful experience with actual business operations prior to law school, have had their perceptions of business shaped by films and TV. So I think that Lisa's idea of using film or TV show clips to ground the students in the material can be very useful.
Even though I might not show all the films that I listed, when discussing a case or a point of law, I may reference a very popular or famous movie or show and ask students whether the way that the movie or show depicts how businesses act or are required to act squares with how businesses do act or how the law or markets require businesses to act in reality. This can be useful both when the film or show accurately depicts how businesses operate and when the film or show fails to accurately depict how businesses operate. It is a way of taking something that the students know or are familiar with and using it to build their understanding of the legal and economic concepts that they don't know.

I think the pedagogical point of providing context for business law students is well-taken, and that is the best argument for using the movie technique. And I have no objection to using popular culture as the basis for teaching hypotheticals. (Just yesterday, I used the typical plea negotiation at the end of Law & Order to illustrate agency concepts - like when the lawyer accepts a plea on behalf of her client without having appeared to have received instructions.) And I would love to take or teach a class that was entitled something like "Law and Culture: Hollywood, Law, and Business."
Between Business Enterprises and Secured Transactions this semester, I have over 90 students, the overwhelming majority of whom have no familiarity with the business context in which the law is applied either ex ante or ex post. So we spend the better part of the first week of each class talking about the context of setting up a business, or what it means to borrow money and how it happens, before we ever touch the law.
Here's the downside of the movie technique, at least in introducing students to business law. (Larry Ribstein over at Ideoblog has comments on this that are well worth reading.) I'm not sure Citizen Kane or It's a Wonderful Life have corporate themes, much less good corporate themes. What is the corporate theme we take from Frank Capra's populist view of the world? That most people within corporations look and sound like Mr. Potter? Or Orson Welles on the life of William Randolph Hearst. What is the corporate theme? That Charlie Kane squandered the assets of his privately owned corporation promoting the ill-fated career of Susan Alexander? That people who go into business are mostly wealthy dilettantes with the notion one day "I think I'd like to run a newspaper?" Michael Moore is a political provocateur with decent skills as a film editor. (Leni Riefenstahl was a good film maker too.) He is a slicker, more talented Ann Coulter, just coming from a different direction.
I think introducing the subject by teaching our students implicitly that their business clients or business opponents are or will be caricatures is a mistake. From my standpoint, it is like showing the trial scene from "Miracle on 34th Street" (including the one in which the Judge Henry X. Harper, played by Gene Lockhart, goes back to his chambers to consult with political hack William Frawley, the "highest authority") and saying that has a good litigation theme. Yes, it is about a trial, and, yes, it is entertaining, but it treats all the lawyers and judges (except Fred Gailey of course) as buffoons. I wouldn't introduce a Civ Pro or Evidence class with it. (Although when I watched it as a kid, I couldn't understand why they were trying a case in the New York Supreme Court, and it was one of the first mysteries resolved for me when I went to law school.)

I suggest Michael Mann's The Insider. It really illustrates how corporate structure and agency relationships can, and do, conflict with both the ethics and interests of corporate-agent actors and the public interest. Not to mention all the practical and interesting legal minutiae throughout that are good conversation starters such as non-disclosure agreements, whistle blower protections, and tortious interference claims.

I think any class dealing with start-ups or venture capital should begin the course with South Park's "Underpants Gnomes." Pretty good satire of dot-coms.

I thought that I had made it clear in my last post that it may be useful to discuss the perceptions created by film and when and why they depart from reality. Just because I mention a film in class or show a clip from it does not mean that I am always conveying to my students the message that these films provide are accurate portraits of businesses. In many instances, even with documentaries like "The Corporation", I am trying to get my students to view films more critically and recognize when they are departing from reality (which they don't always do with business portraits prior to law school).
I listed 12 films. You appear to strongly object to four of them - "Its a Wonderful Life", "Citizen Kane", "Wall Street" and "Roger & Me". If you don't find anything useful in these films, no one is requiring you to use them. I certainly was not suggesting that anyone had to use these films, any more than I would suggest that everyone had to adopt the same teaching style. What works for one person may not work for another.
As with any art, everyone does not necessarily view these films the same way or draw the same lessons from them that you are drawing in your post. Everyone can make their own judgments about whether these films can be used in a helpful way in a business law course. For example, Larry Ribstein on his blog discusses how he would teach a course that uses the film "Wall Street." In addition, someone might want to use "Its a Wonderful Life" to point out that savings and loan is a family run business and that Mr. Gower, the drug store owner, and Mr. Martini, the bar owner, operate sole proprietorships. So "Its a Wonderful Life" has many positive portraits of business owners to offset the negative portrait provided by Mr. Potter. What makes someone a hero or a villan in "Its a Wonderful Life" is not their status as a business owner, but how they operate their business. One might then use the comparison of George Bailey and Mr. Potter as business owners to enter into a discussion on corporate social responsibility or lack thereof, which casebooks like Hamilton and Macey's Corporations address.

Elizabeth, I understood your comment, and really don't have any objection to using the film clips as a way of highlighting issues in corporate responsibility (though why use fiction when you have Dennis Kozlowski?) And inherent to the medium, my original comment looked rougher than it was meant. It's more a matter of placement and emphasis. Starting a business law class (as I understood Lisa's original post) with those particular films as illustrating "corporate themes" (as I read yours) it seems to me casts a particular slant on the subject, something any professor has a perfect right to do.
I have not seen The Corporation, which sounds like the most balanced of the films on your list. We've already struggled in class with the concept of corporation as juridical "person." But the teaser to students just stepping into this of businesses or corporations as implicitly bad (which as Larry points out is the primary thrust of most Hollywood characterization) is not the way I want to start. I acknowledge that's only my taste.

Well, not so fast. The groundhog is no Al Roker, and the entire idea that he can forecast the weather is ridiculous. Nonetheless, the little guy did get us pumped up for the warmer weather -- the first day of spring is less than two months away!
Whether you buy the groundhog's prediction or not, here are five reason why springtime is good for your health:
You burn more calories
In springtime, it's warming up, but the oppressive humidity of summer hasn't kicked in. For this reason, people are very motivated to start a workout program in the spring, according to e
xercise physiologist Amy Dixon, group fitness manager for Equinox in Santa Monica, Calif.
You eat better
When you feel that first hint of spring weather, your mind goes to one place: bathing suit season. For this reason, you're more likely to adopt — and stick to — a healthy, low-cal diet. Thankfully, this coincides with the availability of tons of amazing seasonal produce. Cover half of your plate with fresh fruits and veggies at every meal — as per the new U.S. Dietary Guidelines — and you'll be well on your way to dropping a few pounds.
You feel less stressed
Several studies have linked access to green spaces to reduced stress. In 2007, English researchers compared the mental health benefits of taking a 30-minute indoor jaunt with a walk in the park. Seventy-one percent of the subjects who took it outside reported feeling more chilled out, while 72 percent of those who stayed indoors said they felt even more stressed.
You may be more fertile
Here's some good news if you want to conceive: Warm weather may increase your chances of getting pregnant. A Brazilian study released this fall found that in vitro fertilization (IVF) rates were highest during the springtime — 73.5 percent versus 67.9 percent. Head researcher Daniela Braga says this may be a result of the changing light patterns affecting neurons in the brain that control the egg production and release.
You'll breathe easier
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we spend about 90 percent of our time indoors, where pollutants are higher than those outdoors. Poor air quality has been linked to everything from asthma to migraines to reduced ability to concentrate. So, when the weather (and the boss) permits, spend your lunch hour outdoors! Just don't forget to pop Loratadine (Claritin, et al.) if you have springtime allergies.

The exit pit of a horizontal directional drilling operation is a particularly hazardous location.
JT100 All Terrain Directional Drill
It's serious business when you need a rock-drilling machine as big as the JT100 All Terrain directional drill, so you expect some serious power. The JT100 All Terrain delivers, with 100,000 lb (445 kN) of pullback supported by a monstrous, 268-hp (200-kW) engine. All of this earth-shaking power requires some serious stability, which is why the JT100 All Terrain directional drill is equipped with an exclusive dual-pivot drill frame. Of course, everything is engineered to maximize the productivity of the machine's patented All Terrain technology, a two-pipe drilling system that enables you to drill and steer simultaneously.
Industry-exclusive, patented two-pipe drilling system provides more power to the bit than any other rock-drilling system in its class.
The JT100 All Terrain's 268-hp (200-kW) engine delivers more raw power more efficiently to all machine functions so the installation can be completed faster.
With 100,000 lb (445 kN) of pullback and 12,000 ft·lb (16,270 N·m) of torque, the JT100 is the ideal directional drilling unit for extended-range bores and installations of large-diameter pipe.
With its infinitely variable rotary drive, the JT100 All Terrain is the only rock drill in its class that can truly match spindle speed and torque to find that "sweet spot" that will power through infinitely varying ground formations.
By providing the operator better control when making pipe connections, the JT100 All Terrain's assisted makeup feature greatly extends the life of your drill pipe—one of your biggest downhole investments.
Optional pipebox loader is designed to load and unload pipe boxes, anchor the unit and handle drill pipe, reducing the need for additional support equipment.
The JT100 All Terrain is the only rock drill in its class that enables the operator to transfer drill pipe from one box to another—and add or remove the upper pipe box—without additional support equipment, so the pipe box is never empty.
Because big rigs see big downhole forces, machine stability is imperative; the JT100 All Terrain's exclusive dual-pivot drill frame allows the entry angles you need without compromising stability—or operator comfort—while drilling.
The JT100 All Terrain's double rack-and-pinion thrust drive is field-proven and heavy-duty enough to push through—and pull you through—the long, tough bores.
Large-capacity, 120-gpm (450-l/min) fluid pump plus larger hoses and fittings help move fluid downhole faster, for greater productivity; special damping feature reduces the downhole shockloads associated with greater fluid flow.
Fully enclosed cab features instrument panel gauges that are positioned for visibility, conveniently placed controls and an excellent view of the tool joint.

People peer out of windows of a building facing the papal summer residence in Castelgandolfo, in the outskirts of Rome, Saturday, March 23, 2013. Pope Francis has traveled to Castel Gandolfo to have lunch with his predecessor Benedict XVI in a historic and potentially problematic melding of the papacies that has never before confronted the Catholic Church. The Vatican said the two popes embraced on the helipad. In the chapel where they prayed together, Benedict offered Francis the traditional kn

PhRMA's Billy Tauzin Talks From Experience on Electronic Records
"I'm buying green bananas again," Billy Tauzin, the head of the drug-industry's biggest trade group, told told the Hill in January, declaring himself to be in sound health. The former Louisiana congressman had surgery for intestinal cancer in 2004, but last year he suffered internal bleeding from a problem with scar tissue that sent him to multiple hospital emergency rooms until he got follow-up surgery.
The cancer experience gave him an added perspective on health care. "As president and CEO of PhRMA, Tauzin often cites his experience undergoing surgery and experimental drug treatments to cure his intestinal cancer as personal testimony to argue for the important role the pharmaceutical industry plays in the healthcare system," the Hill reported.
More recently, Tauzin has been explaining how the experience also underscored the importance of electronic health records. In an video interview with CNET accompanying the start of a series on health IT today, he talks about treatment delays while having to repeatedly fill out emergency-room forms and going through an unnecessary two-hour procedure because of the lack of electronic records.
"In some cases I was almost in shock, I couldn't stand up or sit down, I was so short of blood," Tauzin tells CNET. "We had to go through all of that every time, over and over again, when a simple digital record that I could have controlled and made available to those doctors and nurses in the emergency room might have gotten me help a lot sooner."
Tauzin says digital records would speed treatment, reduce errors, curb unneeded treatments and produce long-term cost benefits. Using another food-related expression, he also calls it an easy target for overhaul. "It's the lowest hanging fruit I know of in health-care reform," he tells CNET.

The crowd thinks art = image. There is much trolling potential here.
QuoteThe image is immaterial, thus it should be used as a deterrent.
Cut out the vocals, cut out the drumming, and cut out everything not contained in the music.
To anyone not paying attention, metal is to come across as thoroughly boring.
Aren't these opposing views?
Art will always manifest its inherent image, but I think an exterior image to deter parasites would actually work contrary to its intended purpose. Metals primary vulnerability was the easily exploitable image, so it should remove itself altogether from this axis. The ideas and emotions communicated through music will speak for itself.
Metal / Re: Reclaiming (or Replacing) Metal« on: May 28, 2011, 04:23:10 AM »
QuoteI'm not suggesting we pretend to be Nazis, but I am suggesting that we need to display more extremity if we're to be recognised as extreme (and, really, the only way we're going to "reclaim" Metal is by being frigging extreme about it). A lot of this is post-production; we first need suitably good/extreme music, and then we need to present it in a way which says "this is for us, not for you".
Hessians should adopt aspects of the Blasphemy ethos: powerlifting and barbarism. Take back metal by force and rule by fear.
In a time where everything is image-based, it's probably better to ignore image and concentrate on the music and its formative philosophy otherwise the message is too easily lost in extremism. Clean cut and well dressed should be ample for image.

Tangerine Dream - peaked with phaedra/rubycon then began to decline.
Klaus Schulze - peaked with timewind, moondawn is good but also the beginning of the decline. Irrlicht and cyborg are ambient/drone.
Neptune Towers - KS worship however more jaggered, noisy and abstract. Doesn't build momentum quite as well.
Ash Ra Tempel - Neuzeit der erde (a good companion to the above artists A-/B+).
Kraftwerk - trans europa express, computerwelt and tour de france soundtracks all are A+ however never struck me as typically ambient
Lord Wind - Heralds of Fight is on par with Atlantean monument
When - Death in the blue lake pt1/ The black death
The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud - like an expanded version of Ildjarn in a way; short songs form a succession of textures within the album (?B+)
Ildjarn/Nidhogg - Hardangervidda is godly. Essentially an inverse blueprint of Richard Strauss's great tone poem Eine Alpensinfonie
Beherit - A+ for ideas and ambition
Mortal Constraint - Legend of deformation (dark immersive structures in an electo-industrial style)

It's all about tradition the way I see it. No sexy answers. Just tradition.
Could you elaborate?
Well first of all, this is what Fenriz says in Until the Light Takes Us - Darkthrone was created to uphold tradition. The paradigm of the Norwegians was not to "out-do" the sweatpants wearing Floridian Death Metal at their own game, it was to go BACK to the 80s, back to first principles. It's one-upsmanship through "regress." As brilliant as the No Mosh, No Core, No Fun mantra of the Norwegians was, I think it's time metal rediscovered some of its "loudmouth redneck" again. I remember a commenter/hipster in the blog say something to the effect of: "Infernal Warriors of Death??? how crude/garish! why I never!!" (it helps to imagine it in an effeminate or English accent). See, Norwegian Black Metal became too refined. And I believe in the Tao Te Ching it says: "When you sharpen a blade for too long it becomes dull." I think, for metal, anyway, the bigger risk is becoming too refined, not too "rough around the edges."
I certainly like projects like Lord Wind, but there's no reason for metal to totally jump ship and become ambient. If an aesthetic/appearance has worn out it's welcome, what makes us think that abandoning it will help us "find the spirit?" Appearance is not reality, but it also does not imply a lack of reality or an "opposite" reality. In other words, people rightfully conclude that just because something has the metal aesthetic does not make it metal, but then some of those people think "see..we're too reliant on aesthetic, we need to abandon the aesthetic altogether." Evolution happens SLOWLY
Think about the recent story of Cosmic Atrophy. That album is a few hours of work away from being complete. I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but one wonders if shame is involved on some level. I read an interview with Antti Boman yesterday, and he said he regrets abandoning metal for 5 years from 94-99. You see this happen all the time. A person loves something, then is ashamed of it, then is ashamed that they were ever ashamed of it. It's the Eternal Recurrence. You have to say Yes to EVERYTHING.
Metal should not "out-think the room." Regrets and second guessing are not metal. I think that if Norway challenged Florida, then that means that America still owes Europe one. Is the next "challenge" of metal for America to find it's rough-around-the-edges loudmouths?
This is to say metal lacks that youthful energy of the past. The real question is how can it retain that energy while becoming more serious and long-standing than 1-3 albums then sellout. I would like to see a new music whereby the musicians are more like composers, getting better and even more profound with age. As far as the timespan between evolutionary steps is concerned; there shouldn't be one. It evolves when necessary or otherwise becomes irrelevant.

Metal / Re: punk versus metal« on: May 23, 2011, 02:18:00 PM »
I can't listen to much punk, it's just way too 1-dimensional however I recognise the strong influence (via hardcore/thrash) in some of the best metal. Alcohol/THC ties in with the image thing and is pretty irrelevant IMO.
Metal / Re: Favourite metal poetry« on: May 20, 2011, 02:41:05 AM »
Well to clarify, I mean the function of vocals generally can't be removed. It is interdependant with every other aspect of the composition.
This ultimately depends on the composition in question. There are plenty of death metal songs that would still work without vocals (the ones where vocal phrasing doesn't determine riff structure absolutely), and much of the best black metal is in the form of either succinct, instrumental "poems," or 7+ minute pieces where 60-70% of the composition is already instrumental. Plenty of composers over the centuries have rearranged and transcribed pieces for entirely different instrument sets, moods, etc. without damaging the intent of the music; in fact, if we were to decompose a piece of music into a small handful of effects, we would see that, in some cases, a transcription increases the potency of one effect while decreasing another, occasionally for the better. It depends on the purpose of the change in arrangement, so some are detrimental, while others have their place.QuoteI try to view composition in a holistic sense where lyrics, poems, artwork etc are all included.
Sure, but stating that lyrics are separable from musical content is no different from stating that aesthetically pleasing wall adornments, no matter how thematically complementary they are to the function of a building, are separable from that building's support structures; you can remove good lyrics and replace them with really stupid ones without affecting the support structures of the music. Furthermore, you don't even need wall adornments or lyrics in the first place; emotion can be conveyed vocally without the aid of symbolic language.
I can see your point but surely lyrics are more than just aesthetic. In a holistic view the lyrics wouldn't be seen out of context of the vocal style.
If something is a failure in one respect, that doesn't prevent us from taking a granular approach to the thing as a whole. Granularity may seem antithetical to holism on some level, but it isn't if you use it as a tool for building a new whole out of the parts of other wholes.
This is like "don't judge a book by its cover" vs "a good book should be well represented by an appropriate cover". I have to use both approaches when appreciating Darkthrone's Goatlord, it's core ideas are brilliant but with some developmental flaws; the vocals and lyrics are mostly inconsistent with the rest of the material.
Metal / Re: Norsk Arisk Classical« on: May 20, 2011, 01:33:06 AM »
I've always admired this composer for bringing warmth and tradition to his modernist style, though I find like Grieg his music is rather small scale when compared to the weight of the great German romantics. Hundrad Hardingtonar is probably my faviourite of his works especially the fifth suite (troll tunes:)
Metal / Re: Where the growth is« on: May 20, 2011, 01:13:53 AM »
Folk could be useful in order to loosen up the instrumentation and technique, making the music more organic again. Isengard is a good example this, though it's equal parts DOOM and trash as it is folk. Really I'm more in favour of expanding metal structure to become closer to neo-classical/ambient than folk.
Metal / Re: Favourite metal poetry« on: May 14, 2011, 01:36:24 AM »
Lyrics/vocals cannot be seperated from the rest of the composition and this generally follows through both conceptually and musically.Vocals can be separated from the rest of the composition just as easily as any other instrument can - which is to say, entirely.
Well to clarify, I mean the function of vocals generally can't be removed. It is interdependant with every other aspect of the composition.
Lyrics on the other hand are simply not composition at all. They are words. They are not music.
To some extent the vocals depend on the shape/sound/projection of the word, so in that way the lyrics do effect the sound of the composition. But moreso the themes should be congruent i.e. you couldn't swap pantera lyrics with morbid angel and expect it to fit the music.
I try to view composition in a holistic sense where lyrics, poems, artwork etc are all included.

In many cases, it is the female securing maternity in order to set the financial and legal grounds for her own future security.
Worst case: their kid is a bi-product of DNA wanting to replicate itself. The more inferior the organism the more offspring it will produce. If only there was some way to make people realise how worthless they are.
Metal / Re: a timeline« on: May 10, 2011, 05:15:06 AM »
I found Fenriz's black metal timeline on the double DVD version of Until the light takes us quite interesting, but a bit too sentimental/aesthetic as oppose to quality based (like this). He understands the first wave pretty well but looses it when discussing the second wave. Even putting Satyricon down as one of the founding second wave bands of the Norwegian scene, anything after that is described as MYRIADS. He gives the impression of being stuck in a generation rather than praising and searching for art that transcends time. Also I wonder if he's even heard stuff like Ildjarn, Beherit or Graveland.

Interzone / Re: The most subtle of child abuse« on: May 06, 2011, 10:56:21 AM »
We see this as abusive behaviour because the values and lifestyles which are needed to operate in society are generally totally antithetical to having a truly healthy outlook on life.
To be healthy in an unhealthy society you have to reject it to some extent, but also know this from ones own experiences. So raising a child in isolation from mainstream society would invariably cause dysfunction. Best thing is to expose the child to healthy alternatives to the norm without being overtly dissenting. Better yet, only geniuses should have a child.

Russia is preparing to put lawyer Sergei Magnitsky on trial, even though he is dead, in the latest twist in a case that has severely strained U.S.- Russian relations. Magnitsky, a lawyer for the Hermitage Capital fund, died in jail in 2009 after accusing Russian officials of colluding in stealing $230 million from the state. He was arrested on suspicion of tax evasion by the same Interior Ministry officials he accused. A Moscow court on Monday Jan. 28, 2012 set preliminary hearings in the posthumous trial for Feb. 18.

Well-Rested Wozniacki Orchestrates a Comeback
By Cynthia Koons
World ranked No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki went into Tuesday's Australian Open quarterfinals match against No. 6 Francesca Schiavone having logged five and a half hours of match time to the Italian's 11 hours and eight minutes of play thus far in the Australian Open.
So when Ms. Schiavone, who in the prior round made history playing longest women's match in the Open era, managed to take the first set in just 45 minutes with her attacking game, things were starting to look interesting.
Ms. Schiavone, 10 years Ms. Wozniacki's senior, maintained that momentum to break her early and establish a 3-1 lead in the second set. It was then that the world No. 1 started battling back, breaking Ms. Shiavone twice and winning five successive games to take the second set.
From then on, the momentum was on Ms. Wozniacki's side, although Ms. Schiavone still made the Dane work for the victory, fending off three match points to convert a break late in the third set. It was on Ms. Schiavone's serve that Ms. Wozniacki managed to break back and win the match 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Ms. Wozniacki played a consistent, defensive game and ended the match having made just 15 unforced errors to Ms. Schiavone's 46.
Ms. Schiavone, the 2010 French Open champion, played her fair share of tennis this week with four of her five matches winding up being decided in the third set. Her record-setting match was four hours and 44 minutes alone. But she wouldn't chalk her loss up to fatigue.
"I had my chance. Maybe in the third set I felt a little bit something physically, but it's not an excuse," she said. "I think I gave it the best that I could."
Ms. Wozniacki now faces No. 9 Li Na, who is on a 10-match winning streak, including a victory over No. 3 Kim Clijsters at the Sydney International tennis tournament earlier this month. The Chinese player, who knocked Ms. Wozniacki out of the Australian Open last year, has yet to drop a set in this year's tournament.
"I think Li Na has improved a lot but I also believe I have," Ms. Wozniacki said. "I know that she can play very good tennis, but I can too. It's just a matter of who wins the most important points in that match."

French Open Final!
Roger showed a brilliant display in the semi-final of the French Open today, ending Novak Djokovic's winning run with a 7-6,(5), 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(5) victory and setting up a meeting with Rafael Nadal in the final.
"I've trained a lot during my whole life for these kinds of matches," Roger said. "There was an enormous amount of pressure on Novak and he really played well."
Roger had an answer to just about everything Djokovic showed on court today, even though cumulating 46 unforced errors on the way, five more than his opponent. After taking the first set in a tiebreaker, Roger managed an early break in the second and brought home the set smoothly. Djokovic came back in the third set as Roger also committed too many errors. Just like the opening set, the fourth was a tough fight with breaks on both sides, ending in a tiebreaker. That proved another immensely tight fight, but Roger eventually rode home the victory with his 18th ace.
Our champ will now face Rafael Nadal on Sunday in the final of the 2011 French Open in what promises to be another classic duel between the two players. It is the fourth time in six years that the two meet in the Paris final.
This wnt happen at wimby and Fed can win if he plays this well.Not much to complain abt Fed's gam.This is all he can do at anytim of his life!
Keep going Champ and good luck for Halle next week!!
Tons of love from Madrid
i am so grateful to live in the era of the beatles, barack obama, and roger federer. (and bob dylan) how about the way the fans embrace you? your elegance and fierceness are inspiring. i still say you can take the french from rafa - - you look younger and stronger than ever! thank you for continuing--you are brilliant!
It's a problem for Fed because he plays aggressive and targets the lines very often. So a slight bad call could cost him a game, then a set and hence the match.

A is for Anibal. His contract is sizable and perhaps the Tigers overpaid, but by keeping him in the Old English D, it gives the Tigers perhaps the best rotation in the league.
B is for Big Badd Brennan Boesch. Here's hoping for his return to the Big-ness and Badd-ness he exhibited as a rookie. He's a good guy with loads of huge potential.
C is for Coke. Phil Coke. His glove slam after closing out the Yankees in the post season was one of the lasting impressions of the Tigers roller coaster season. A visual "Booyah" to the doubters. The hope is 2013 will feature a lot of what we saw from Coke in the post season.
D is for Dave Dombrowski. The Tigers General Manager who once again executed a trade at the deadline in 2012 that lead to a post season run. Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante addressed a couple of critical needs. Here's hoping for more of the same in 2013.
E is for Ernie. Mr. Harwell passed away in 2010, but I'll always be grateful for the opportunity to work with the man who was a large influence on my professional career.
F is for Four more wins. That's all Tigers fans are hoping for in 2013.
G is for Avisail Garcia. Minny Miggy showed some impressive skills after his late season call-up. He also gave announcers fits as they tried with much futility to correctly pronounce his first name. Maybe in 2013, they will get plenty of practice.
H is for Hunter. The addition of class act Torii Hunter to the Tigers clubhouse adds skill and character to the mix. He'll also give reporters a "go to guy" when the quotes begin to dry up.
I is for Infante. His skill as a baseball player fills the hole the Tigers have had at second base since Placido Polanco left. More importantly though, anyone whose last name starts with "I" is good by me.
J is for Justin Verlander. Will 2013 be the year he throws his third no-hitter? He nearly had it last year against the Pirates until Josh Harrison broke it up in the ninth. Don't worry, it's coming.
K is for, well, K. As in all of the strikeouts the Tigers staff will rack up in 2013. Only Tampa's staff recorded more strikeouts in 2012 than Detroit.
L is for Lakeland. I can't wait to get down to Tiger Town to start my 12th season in the booth.
M is for Marlboro. Here is hoping that the skipper will have fewer stressful situations in 2013, thereby cutting down the consumption of his favorite smokes.
N is for Nick Castellanos. Will 2013 be the year the Tigers top prospect makes his big league debut? My guess is yes. The Tigers lineup is loaded, but sooner or later, whether because of injury or production, his bat will get an opportunity.
O is for Opening Day. The biggest celebration for the return of baseball happens in Detroit. I can't wait to see a packed house at Comerica Park on April 5th.
P is for Prince. Having watched Fielder play for a full season, I have come to appreciate his approach to the game. Whether it's a routine ground ball in April or October, the first inning or the ninth, Prince will always run it out.
Q is for Quintin Berry. Q's production declined as the season progressed, but his enthusiasm for the game and energy often gave the Tigers some life in 2012. Is there a spot for him in 2013? His pure speed makes him a valuable bench player.
R is for Rondon. Right now, it appears the Tigers are comfortable with giving the rookie a shot at getting the final three outs. His arsenal is impressive but he will have to pitch beyond his 22 years to keep the job.
S is for Sneaky. The Tigers super sub Ramon "sneaky" Santiago had a tough 2012 season. He played winter ball this off season again and that will hopefully help to get him back to being the quality bench player the club has had in the past.
T is for Triple Crown. See Miguel Cabrera's stats last year. Can he provide an encore in 2013?
U is for Unbelievable. Here's hoping we will use that word a lot to describe many Austin Jackson catches and walk-off wins in 2013.
V is for Victor. If Martinez returns from a knee injury to his previous form, the Tigers will have one fearsome 3-4-5.
W is for Wire to wire. Hoping the Tigers will spend every day in first place next year.
X is for Extra innings. I hope we don't play many extra inning games this year because they make me tired.
Y is for Yankees. The Bronx Bombers are always a big draw, but this year the Tigers home opener is against New York. Beating the Yanks will make Opening Day 2013 that much sweeter.
Z is for Zero. Exactly the number of bad days you have when your job is announcing Tigers baseball.
Happy 2013!
