Air India ferries record 50,000 passengers in single day
While a total of 35,246 passengers flew on the carrier's domestic flights, another 15,519 passengers flew on the international network.
Mumbai: National carrier Air India flew a record number of passengers last Friday when it carried over 50,000 in a single day on its national and international routes, sources said in Mumbai on Tuesday.
"We carried a record 50,765 passengers across our network on December 21. This was the highest number of passengers ferried by the carrier on a single day as compared to the last year," an airline official said in Mumbai.
While a total of 35,246 passengers flew on the carrier's domestic flights, another 15,519 passengers flew on the international network.
Air India operates 319 daily flights both on its domestic and international routes. The national carrier has achieved 87.7 per cent seat factor on domestic flights and 77.9 per cent on international routes on December 21, the official said.
"Besides, the airline's earnings also touched Rs 48-crore mark on that day including Rs 25 crore from the overseas operations, with a combined seat factor of 81 per cent," the official said.
Overcoming the May strike blues, when the airline had to drastically cut down its international operations following a nearly two-month long agitation by a section of its pilots, Air India has seen significant improvement in its domestic market share in the past seven months.
The domestic passenger data for the April-November period show consistent increase in the national carrier's market share with the airline gaining 4.5 per cent, pushing the private operator Jet Airways to the third slot with 20.7 per cent market share in November, after no-frills carrier IndiGo's 27.3 per cent.

The barrel length on these hand guns are 1.875". This makes accurate shooting more difficult especially in longer range situations. For instance if you were in that theater where that gunman started shooting and were sitting in the middle to back sections. What do you believe your percentage would be for getting round in the targets chest? Taking into consideration the adrenalin that would be released from the realization of the situation you are in.

Generic bests Botox for migraine: MDs
However, neurologists reported being only moderately satisfied with topiramate's accessibility. The drug went generic in 2009, and insurance coverage may vary depending on whether plans have yet to reevaluate tiering and grant it more favorable placement.
Topiramate and onabotulinumtoxinA (Allergan's Botox), which won approval for the indication last October, are the only prophylactic therapies to demonstrate efficacy against chronic migraine in multiple placebo-controlled clinical trials.

Manufacturers feel heat of skyrocketing steel prices
Page Tools
The 71.5 per cent price rise achieved by iron ore producers this week was greeted with wonder and excitement by investors.
And, while it was good news for iron ore producers and their shareholders, the rest of us should be bracing for a dose of cost-of-living reality as those prices flow through the production chain.
Everything from hair clips to motor cars, clothes lines to refrigerators will be affected. Or, at least, they would be affected if the price rises were passed down the chain.
The iron ore producers and steel makers can raise prices almost at will. But the story is different as the metal gets closer to the price-sensitive customer.
Here price rises can become more a dream than a reality and there is already a lot of bleeding in the manufacturing sector which has not been staunched.
The price rises reflected a world shortage of steel over the past 18 months or more and the increasing competition for supplies of what has almost become a semi-precious metal.
Steel prices have been jumping at an alarming rate, with the most common industrial feedstock, hot rolled coil, rising from $US330 to $US630 a tonne in the past 14 months.
The pain has been obvious during this profit season. At least it was if companies could secure steel supplies.
"We have all been struggling, not just with prices, but a lack of availability," said Bruce Griffiths, chief executive of car parts maker Air International, a Futuris Corp subsidiary. "We have got full-time employees trying continually to source steel."
But, whether the steel supplies flowed or trickled, it was the rapid escalation in price which hurt the most.
"Steel prices really got us in the December half, they went ballistic," said Roger Brown, executive chairman of four-wheel drive accessories maker ARB Corp.
"They rose around 50 per cent in just six months. And you just can't pass it on."
It was a similar story at Hills Industries, where chief executive David Simmons reported profit margin compression in the December half year.
While the Adelaide company Hills is famous for its clothes lines and other household products, the company's other two divisions, electronics and building products, are now larger than the original home and hardware operation. Which is just as well.
"If we were just in home and hardware in the last six months, we would have been crucified," Mr Simmons said after reporting a profit rise for the whole group in the December half. Home and hardware was down 30 per cent.
"The problem was a lack of notice from BlueScope Steel. There is a three-month lag for us to recover steel price rises."
And that's only if Hills can raise prices. "There is a fine line between recovering prices and being able to retain the business," Mr Simmons said. "If you raise the price, a retailer is just as likely to say 'Well, we'll get it offshore'."

Robert Louis Stevenson: A Memorial HTML version
Egotistic Element And Its Effects
FROM these sources now traced out by us - his youthfulness of spirit, his mystical bias,
and tendency to dream - symbolisms leading to disregard of common feelings - flows too
often the indeterminateness of Stevenson's work, at the very points where for direct
interest there should be decision. In THE MASTER OF BALLANTRAE this leads him to
try to bring the balances even as regards our interest in the two brothers, in so far
justifying from one point of view what Mr Zangwill said in the quotation we have given,
or, as Sir Leslie Stephen had it in his second series of the STUDIES OF A
"The younger brother in THE MASTER OF BALLANTRAE, who is black- mailed by
the utterly reprobate master, ought surely to be interesting instead of being simply sullen
and dogged. In the later adventures, we are invited to forgive him on the ground that his
brain has been affected: but the impression upon me is that he is sacrificed throughout to
the interests of the story [or more strictly for the working out of the problem as originally
conceived by the author]. The curious exclusion of women is natural in the purely boyish
stories, since to a boy woman is simply an incumbrance upon reasonable modes of life.
When in CATRIONA Stevenson introduces a love story, it is still unsatisfactory, because
David Balfour is so much the undeveloped animal that his passion is clumsy, and his
charm for the girl unintelligible. I cannot feel, to say the truth, that in any of these stories
I am really among living human beings with whom, apart from their adventures, I can
feel any very lively affection or antipathy."
In the EBB-TIDE it is, in this respect, yet worse: the three heroes choke each other off all
too literally.
In his excess of impartiality he tones down the points and lines that would give the
attraction of true individuality to his characters, and instead, would fain have us
contented with his liberal, and even over-sympathetic views of them and allowances for
them. But instead of thus furthering his object, he sacrifices the whole - and his story
becomes, instead of a broad and faithful human record, really a curiosity of
autobiographic perversion, and of overweening, if not extravagant egotism of the more
refined, but yet over-obtrusive kind.
Mr Baildon thus hits the subjective tendency, out of which mainly this defect - a serious
defect in view of interest - arises.
"That we can none of us be sure to what crime we might not descend, if only our
temptation were sufficiently acute, lies at the root of his fondness and toleration for
wrong-doers (p. 74).
Thus he practically declines to do for us what we are unwilling or unable to do for
ourselves. Interest in two characters in fiction can never, in this artificial way, and if they
are real characters truly conceived, be made equal, nor can one element of claim be

Don't pick a fight with an ADCC bronze medalist, especially Ryan Hall
Masterfully handled... Awesome to see how they reacted to the whole situation - they gave him every possibility to go away and let it go... :)
Love this stuff
BTW, I love it when he says "You have no idea what the f*** I'm capable of" - oh the irony ;)
I love that the one guy keeps going "Just walk away, he will kill you" and the drunk says he wants to see it.
Good use of the door to bash the guy's skull open btw.
What an idiot.
That was totally tits!
Geez I guess he was so drunk he thought he was 10 feet tall and bullet proof. I remember my first beer :P
Props to ryan for being so merciful, a lot of people would have put that drunk guys head through the floor in that situation.
Congratulations tough guy, your failed attempt at working out your latent homosexuality through violence directed at strangers just went viral.
Love Ryan Hall, I have a lot of respect to people who keep their cool in those kinds of situations.
Hall could actually face charges here. Minor incident, so certainly the police will be hoping the drunken douche won't push the issue which he probably won't since he would face charges as well but...
We all instinctively (and correctly) hate the drunken idiot and Hall use of force the first time (double leg, mount) was perfectly reasonable. The second time however the guy is facing away from him, is talking to someone else and Hall grabs him and chokes him out. You aren't defending yourself there, you are initiating and if the guy pushed it Hall would likely be charged with some variety of assault.
I doubt he would be convicted since anyone who watches the video can see who the problem is but from a strictly legal standpoint there might be some issues.
Oh brother...what I would give to see the Chuck, Lee Murray and Tito fight. Each fighter must have an archive of stories like this one shown.
Good thing it ended well...

The Rays, sponsored by Energy Insurance of Lebanon, came in second place in the end of season tournament. They are, top row from left, Abby Ford, Jayla Cowherd, Lindsey Robbins, Kendell Benningfield, Olivia Gaddie and Morgan Tungate; bottom row from left, Assistant Coach Jimmy Mattingly, Becca Hayes, Avery Smith, Cassidy Logsdon, Abby Scott, Head Coach Jonathon Spalding and Jenny Mattingly.
The Marion County High School baseball team held their postseason annual awards banquet on June 5.
Several members of the team were recognized for their performances on the field during the season.
Dylan Spalding was awarded the most valuable player along with the most valuable pitcher.
The freshman award went to Jeremy Morris while the junior varsity award went to Robbie Spalding.
Former Marion County Lady Knight basketball standout Bre Elder joined the Kentucky Girls All-Stars in a two-game sweep of the Indiana Girls All-Stars over the weekend.
The teams played Friday at Freedom Hall in Louisville and again Saturday at the Bankers Life Fieldhous in Indianapolis.
Friday, the Kentucky girls won 75-47 in the first game of the 2012 Kentucky vs. Indiana All-Star Classic.
As I sit at my computer typing my column this week, I have a heavy heart. It's hard to think of something to write, so I chose to take a look back at last week in the sports world, coming up with two sporting events that I wanted to discuss.
Marion County High School senior to be Kyvin Goodin-Rogers recently decommitted from the University of Louisville. Almost exactly one year ago, Goodin-Rogers and teammate Makayla Epps verbally committed to the University of Louisville. Now, Goodin-Rogers has rescinded her commitment, while Epps remains intent on playing for the Lady Cardinals.
According to Goodin-Rogers' mother, Kiyonta Goodin, "Kyvin has opened back up her recruitment, and has already taken calls from several schools."
Girls 6-8-year-olds softball final results
June 7
Athletics 10, Reds 7
The Athletics overcame a late Reds rally to win the minor league softball championship.

Summer intern
The Warrior Dash, a major outdoor event, is coming to Popes Creek Ranch in a week or so - June 23.
Last I checked the registration was at almost 5,000 and wasn't closed yet!
This Warrior Dash involves some intense conditioning just to compete. Then there's three or four miles of "obstacles." "Warriors" will run through the woods, stumble/wade through mud and water, climb walls, jump through fire and all kinds of other challenges.
The Marion County Lady Knights softball team held their annual postseason banquet at the Stillhouse restaurant. Several players from the regional runner-up team took home hardware.
Co-MVP's of the varsity team were given to Abby Miles and Ashley Walls. On the junior varsity team, co-MVP awards were taken home by Lexi Maupin and Madison Avritt. Emily Fenwick was given the award for the most hits and most runs on the season.
The award for the most RBI was taken home by Ashley Walls, while Abby Miles took home the award for the most extra base hits.
Eugene Campbell has been the man behind the microphone at all home games for the Marion County Lady Knights basketball team since 2007.
Campbell began by working some St. Augustine games, then started keeping book for Coach Freddie Leathers at Marion County High School. Upon Leathers' departure, Coach Trent Milby was hired and Campbell began to announce at the Lady Knights games.
There are several reasons why Campbell has a love for this position, but most of all he does it for the kids.

Thermaltake Level 10: Interior of the design case pictured
At the Computex in Taipei we had a chance to take a look at the interior of Thermaltake's special case that has been designed in cooperation with BMW Group Designworks.
The Thermaltake Level 10 had been introduced at the Cebit, but it was not allowed to take a look into the aluminum case. At the Computex we now had the chance to check the structure of the Level 10. Motherboard, optical drives, mass storage and power supply unit all have their separate compartments in the Thermaltake case. Each of those boxes can be opened individually. It is enough to pull in the right place and thus unlatch the compartment. The hard drives can be taken out to the front and for better usability are equipped with Hot Swap connectors. The upper two storage devices are cooled by fans hat remove warm air from the PSU compartment. LEDs at the side of each compartment indicate if a hard drive is installed.
Inside the compartment of the motherboard there are two big fans that provide fresh air and remove heat from the case. In order to preserve the clean look of the Level 10 all cables can be hidden on the backside or in the frame. For this purpose the panel in the rear can be removed.
Thermaltake has developed the Level 10 in cooperation with BMW Group Designworks USA and the case just looks extravagant. But the other features are quite interesting, too: The Level 10 is supposed to hit the markets in late August or early September for 699 USD. Since the case is mainly handcrafted, Thermaltake issued a limitation of less than 1,000 units. And those who might think it will be easy to carry the Thermaltake case singlehanded with the integrated grip should prepare themselves because the Level 10 weights 25 kilograms - empty of course.
In our gallery you can find several pictures of the Level 10 and other products that have been on display at Thermaltake's Computex booth.

There are a good many reasons to want to be Audrey, or at least emulate her. She was gorgeous, had impeccable style, was an amazing actress and a talented dancer. She was the Gwyneth of her time. Although Gwyneth has a divorce or two to get to catch up with Audrey. I guess not everything about her life is to be coveted.
Before reading What Would Audrey Do? Timeless Lessons for Living With Grace and Style by Pamela Keogh, I had totally practical reasons I wanted to be Audrey. Namely, I wanted to eat a Danish in a LBD in front of Tiffany's at sunrise. Seems to me like the perfect life. If you don't know what I'm talking about you haven't seen Breakfast at Tiffany's and you are dead to me. Not really dead, I guess. But you ain't living.
The format of this book is simple. Every chapter covers a different lifestyle topic and is full of the author's Audrey-based suggestions on how to make things fabulous and anecdotes from Audrey's life. Then comes the "Would Audrey…" segment that surmises what Audrey would do in various hypothetical situations, based on her life. It is rather repetitive. You could choose to read either section of the chapter and get the same information. All the same, if you are an Audrey-phile you would enjoy this book.
Keogh does manage to cover a lot of life territory. She writes on how to handle love, home decorating, entertaining, fashion, fitness, travel, being famous…normal stuff. A good deal of the advice is essentially to accept your fabulousness and just keep on being fabulous!! You know, if life gets you down why not surprise everyone by just jetting to Paris for art lessons! And go ahead, don't hold back! Have a fling with that handsome millionaire! I wish I had read this sooner. If I had a nickel for every handsome millionaire I've turned down in favor of staying in Los Angeles and moping…
Some of Keogh's advice is more practical. For instance, did you know that you don't have to own amazing vases to display flowers in your home? You can use your Limoges sugar and creamers! And to think, all this time I've been shoving my 400 dollar sugar bowl in the junk drawer right next to my under-used diamonds.
Oh, and you will learn to iron. Provided your freezer has room for blouses.
As for food, I didn't know what to expect. Keogh talks about how very slim Audrey was, and how she had an insane metabolism because growing up she and her family had been starving in Holland during WWII and somehow that messed up Audrey's body. According to a lot of folks Keogh cites, Audrey could take down the food. Keogh also breezes over the fact that Audrey was pretty keen on the cigarettes and occasionally embarked on a a cigarettes/salad/beef tartar/no exercise diet. But that was when she wasn't dancing in 21 shows a week, as she did before fame struck.

- Ki Quest Kids Aikido
- Ki Quest Kids Aikido
- Adult Aikido
Empower Yourself!
The Japanese concept of Budo (martial path or way) is the idea of using martial training as a tool for self-improvement, transformation and spiritual development. Budo is a method by which we develop strong physical skills while also developing a strong Spirit.
The fundamental purpose of Budo is to learn, that at a base level, a lot of what we do is driven by fear and aggression. By recognizing this fact, and then journeying on a path to remove these negative influences from our lives, we become stronger, more compassionate and more deeply engaged with those around us. On the whole, Aikido is about fostering good relationships; first with ourselves, and then with others.
Aikido loosely translates to "The Path or Way to harmonize with the Universe." Aikido is a true Budo and the benefits of study are many. How you study Aikido and the benefits you gain are completely in your hands. You can and will take yourself beyond your current limitations, re-invent yourself and become a new person with a stronger sense of Self and a stronger more compassionate Spirit.
That being said, Aikido is not a Religion, and we do not practice it as such. Your training will involve the mastery of physical skills, by which you will come to realize the other aspects of Aikido as you improve and deepen your study. By learning that physical strength and aggression can easily be used against you, you will come to see the power and effectiveness of a unified body with the power of a compassionate and self-aware Spirit.
One cannot be achieved without the other.
The tangible benefits of practicing Aikido are many:
- Improved health
- Improved focus
- Improved relationships
- Improved discipline
- Improved balance and movement
- and countless others.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step. The study of Aikido is about YOU. Begin your journey NOW.

Popularized in the West by Beat Generation writers Gary Snyder and Jack Kerouac, T'ang-era rebel poet Han Shan is an icon of Chinese poetry and Zen. He and his sidekick, Shih Te, are known as the laughing, ragged pair who left their poetry on stones, trees, farmhouses, and monastery walls, calling others to "the Cold Mountain way" of simple, honest, joyful living.
J. P. Seaton takes a fresh look at these poets, as well as at Wang Fan-chih, who followed in the outsider tradition a few centuries later. Forceful and wry, all three condemn the excesses of mind and matter that prevent people from attaining true enlightenment. With a comprehensive introduction and commentary throughout, this collection points to where, in a world that's always moving and so full of suffering, stillness and clarity can be found.
News & Reviews
"J. P. Seaton's translations of Chinese poetry are a treasure that I have returned to with gratitude ever since I first discovered them. "—W. S. Merwin
"Jerome Seaton is the finest living translator and explicator of Chinese poetry; beyond a genius for interpretation and impeccable scholarship. Seaton has that quality that can magically transcend intuition and learning: he is a poet. "—Carolyn Kizer, author of Cool, Calm, and Collected: Poems 1960–2000

This week's featured BC Instagrammer, @eleventara, is all about exploring the Kootenay Rockies region of BC. Check out some of her favourite shots below!
Pulpit rock is a popular hike in Nelson year round. The trail is accessible from the North Shore. In under an hour we found a great bird's eye view of the western arm of Kootenay Lake.
A wet and cold slog up Sharp Creek trail in Valhalla Park. We were at that awkward point where the snow wasn't deep enough to start split boarding, but yet just deep enough to soak our socks.
There are some amazing rock climbing routes in Castlegar at the Waterline Crags. The snow had finally melted and a few hot days in March meant we could dust off the cobwebs.
Driving to Nelson from Castlegar during a sunset. This lone peak is just off Highway 3A by the Brilliant Dam.
A calm spring day on Slocan Lake in Valhalla Provincial Park just outside of New Denver.
Nelson has some awesome inner city climbing. Right along Government Road is Squatters Crag. This is a view from the top of the crag facing Kootenay Lake.

I had 2 front veneers put on 1 yrs. ago, and 2 weeks prior, I was told by my dentist,I should ZOOM first, so I did! I had 3 novicaine injections in the upper front gum, during the veneer prep and procedure! I had gum numbness and swelling for about 3 weeks. The zinging from the zoom lasted for about a week. I am having sensitivity on the upper roof of the mouth, and still getting zinging in the front 2 teeth and bottom teeth, this comes and goes! Please respond ASAP..MANY THANKS..BE SAFE TO ALL
Upper roof of mouth sensitivity, zinging of a tooth after 2 front veneers put on 1 yr. ago. Two weeks prior I was Zoomed?

Teeth are "zinging" after Zoom Whitening and Porcelain Veneers
While there are many ways to minimize your negative experience. it is not uncommon for patients to report sensitivity after a professional or home whitening treatment depending on the condition of the teeth and gums prior to treatment. However the "zinging" on the upper and lower front teeth is most probably due to occlusal trauma (trauma from bite interference). Many times when veneers are placed, it is very important to adjust the porcelain to accommodate the various excursive movements different biting movements and positions) as an interference can cause the teeth to become sore or "zinging." If uncorrected this can also cause nerve damage so I would see a dentist ASAP to evaluate you including x-rays of the affected area. Many times a bite adjustment and wearing a protective nightguard for a period can help your symptoms subside.

Fortner and her staff have to replace four seniors from last season's 30-4 SEC Championship team.
"I think the overall conditioning is excellent," she said after putting the team through wind sprints at the end of Tuesday evening's practice. "Rich Levy and his staff have done a great job getting them ready for practice. We have been able to go real hard for three days now and that is a real testament to what they have been doing in the the weight room."
The Tigers will miss SEC Player of the Year DeWanna Bonner, a four-year starter and a consensus All-American, and fellow All-SEC pick Whitney Boddie as well as seniors Sherrell Hobbs and Trevesha Jackson. Bonner, Boddie and Jackson are playing professional basketball this season in Europe and Bonner was named the WNBA's Sixth Player of the Year last month playing for the Phoenix Mercury.
One of the key players who missed most of last season is back. Jordan Greenleaf, a 6-1 junior forward, injured her ACL early in the season last year and received a medical hardship redshirt.
"Jordan is doing real well," Fortner says. "She is just happy to be back and she is playing hard. It is so great to have her energy and tenacity back on the floor. We missed that last year and it is nice to have it back."
Greenleaf, perhaps Auburn's top defensive player before her injury, averaged 6.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game as a sophomore. "She is not all the way back, but she is close to it," Fortner says.
A player who suffered a knee injury this offseason, sophomore point guard Morgan Jennings, is the only Tiger not able to practice this preseason. "She is rolling along with that rehab," Fortner says. "I am just hoping and hoping she will get back at some point this season."
With Boddie now playing pro ball in Europe and Jennings hurt, the Tigers are looking for immediate help from 5-9 freshman Morgan Toles at the point guard spot.
"Morgan Toles is such a hard worker," Fortner says. "She was in high school and she puts in all of the extra time you dream about players wanting to do. Well, Morgan does that and she was ready to step in and play at that level when she got here. With Morgan Jennings hurt, a lot has been put on her shoulders. She is not afraid of it. She has taken it and run with it."
Nell Fortner talks to Morgan Toles at Auburn's Monday practice.
Fortner says she likes what she is seeing from all four of Auburn's freshmen.
"Blanche Alverson (6-3 forward) has got such phenomenal range," the coach says. "She has a beautiful shot. She is a versatile little player and I am really pleased with her.
"P.J. West (6-8 center) is absolutely making strides every day," Fortner notes. "She wants it. When you are six-foot-eight and can run the floor and you want to be good, I tell you what, she has a chance to be very good.
"With Nicolle Thomas (5-10 guard), people are going to be very surprised at her," Fortner declares. "She is such a strong athlete. Once she gets in shape and figures out how to play this game at this level she is going to be a heck of a player."
The Tigers will open the regular season on Nov. 13th will a home game vs. Troy.

The average user may not notice, but the Global Positioning System (GPS) is more reliable today than it was several years ago.
Widelyused by the military, first responders, surveyors and even consumers,GPS is a navigation and positioning system consisting of ground-basedmonitors and a constellation of satellites that rely on atomic clocks.A statistical method, developed by the National Institute of Standardsand Technology (NIST) and tested and implemented with the help ofseveral collaborators, has made the job of analyzing the accuracy andreliability of these satellite-borne time signals significantly fasterand easier. The method will help ensure that GPS clocks produceaccurate location and distance measurements and remain closelysynchronized with official world time.
The NIST method, describedin a recent paper,* has been incorporated over the past few years intothe GPS clock analysis software system managed by the Naval ResearchLaboratory (NRL). The satellite clocks—commercial devices based in parton research originally done at NIST—use the natural oscillations ofrubidium atoms as "ticks," or frequency standards. The algorithm helpsdetect and correct GPS time and frequency anomalies. The algorithm alsocan be used to improve the control of other types of atomic clocks andhas been incorporated into commercial software and instruments forvarious timing applications, according to NIST electronics engineerDavid Howe, lead author of the paper.
A GPS receiver pinpointsits location based on the distance to three or more GPS satellites atknown locations in space. The distance is calculated from the time ittakes for satellite radio signals to travel to the receiver. Thus,timing accuracy affects distance measurements. The NIST method makes aseries of mathematical calculations to account for numerous measures ofrandom "noise" fluctuations in clock operation simultaneously. Thismakes it easier to estimate many sources of error and identify theonset of instabilities in the clocks in minutes or hours rather thandays. Adjustments then can be made promptly. The technique also couldaccelerate the evaluation of clocks during the process of building GPSsatellites, where test time is at a premium. "Ultimately, it shouldimprove reliability, stability and accuracy for many people who use GPSfor time and navigation,"said Howe.
Co-authors of the paperinclude scientists from NRL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at theCalifornia Institute of Technology, the Observatoire de Besancon inFrance, and Hamilton Technical Services in South Carolina.

The redneck. It's a cliché that's been carefully conceived and crafted since the wooded areas of the Deep South were discovered to be full of rapists, killers, and psychopaths. Forever undone by James Dickey's Deliverance (and John Boorman's big screen adaptation) the supposedly stupider, more sinister members of the closet Confederacy are now a genre given. Perhaps this explains why this twisted take on the type is so magical. Nothing is as it seems, or should be, and that's a down and out in Dixie truth.
At first, this appears to be nothing more than a novel horror comedy created by someone with one foot in the indie scene and another smack dab in the middle of X-rated raunch. Indeed, the director's adventures in smut form the foundation of this hilarious, sometimes hideous production, a very clever combination of the camcorder DIY spirit that drives both post-modern moviemaking and present day pornography. There is real talent involved here, people with a passion for what they do, be it with goofiness, gore or a little bump and grinding. A real treat.
When you hear the set up, you cringe slightly. Father finds half-naked feral girl in the woods and strings her up in the basement. Ick. As far as your encoded proclivities dictate, this villain will be vanquished, but only after traversing a narrative that will offer up sick, seedy schlock inside a more or less misogynist mindset. Indeed this film does follow a plotline of least resistance. But then it all goes bugnuts insane, approaching the material in such a unique and unhinged manner that the results become something of a weird work of art.
Rambling, incoherent, magnificent, and ready to be embraced by a cult of completely insane film fans, this movie is a miracle. It's like watching the splatter punk stream of consciousness flow from a perplexed peyote casualty and knowing, without fully comprehending, that the bizzaro-world brazenness makes sense…to someone…somewhere. Filmmaker Caleb Emerson clearly wants to take on the antiquated adventures of a certain Victorian girl via crazy gluing them to the body art and Brand X inertness of the post-modern indie scene. Then he makes it weird…really weird.
Eric Stanze has crafted a masterpiece, a strange amalgamation of old Nazi experimentation and modern crime spree that argues for his ability to make the illogical and the impossible come magically to life. As he has throughout his entire career, this viable visionary uses his gifts behind the lens to take on challenging ideas and approaches with ease. He has the chops to walk right into Hollywood today and command any level of production, from a large scale work of epic scope to a small, two person character study. He - and his film - are just that good.

I took it to the dealer and they told me that it was coming from the third brake light. I'm curious to wheter I should just put silicon on it or get a factory one put back on which i would rather not do, but if it stops the leak then... ya.

Usually I need to have a lot of space to tell a story—I drag things out and spend pages just having a character enter and exit a room. Part of what I like to do is have the template of a story—often a really simple story—serve as this concrete backdrop that I can to push a character around in, abstracting the figure drawing to the point that it's barely recognizable. But I like to have a long drawn out story to do that within—I feel like the longer I stretch the template out and the more I complicate it, the more interesting and unexpected the images I come up with will be for me. So when asked to do a one page story, I thought the best way to do it was to cut to the chase and make the piece explicitly abut movement and gestures. I've also been getting more and more into having little squares within a drawing where I can make quick, scratchy lines alongside the rounder, more thought-out figure and I like how that turned out here.

See what happens when you start with a chair rail question. Pretty soon with all the "while we're at it"'s you end up with a completely remodeled kitchen.
Some pics of the finished kitchen project on our old house. Ok, not quite finished, but only two pieces of trim and two outlets and a cover plate from being done. Somebody didn't measure twice and was a little short on quarter round. When the back half of the room gets cleaned up, maybe tomorrow, I'll post a pic or two where you could actually see the chair rail since that was the original question on this thread!
I'm satisfied with the way everything turned out. There were only three tiles I sorta wish I could recut, but I'll probably be the only one to notice. One thing I learned when I was replacing the cover plates....make sure when you're cutting tiles to cut a slot for the cover plate screws on the GFCI outlets. I had to get out a file and make some room for the screw because it was bottoming out on the tile before the head was flush.
The necessary new toyl for this project was a 7" wet saw for the tile!

A few more pics with almost everything back in place. It'll never be this neat again!
bp21901 .... great job!
That picture frame trim looks good.
Wait a minute ..... didn't I see these picture in a kitchen design magazine ?
Finally loaded up a pic of the chair rail that initiated the question. I took someone's suggestion (I didn't read back far enough to see who it was) and made it level with the countertop so the tile backsplash could sit on it between the counter and door trim.
The ironic thing is that after wondering about what height to place it, this is about the only section where you can actually see it. The other wall has a very large antique country cupboard and the dog crate which hide the chair rail. Anyway, it does give the break point to switch paint color from dark to light which was the whole purpose anyway.
"Wait a minute ..... didn't I see these picture in a kitchen design magazine ?"
Probably, we looked at enough kitchen pictures to last a few lifetimes, I am sure we stole from somewhere.

You did an awesome job.
Debby in Oklahoma
You said you looked through thousands of pictures. Did you find any uncommon websites that had good pictures. I will be starting my new kitchen soon and am still looking to be inspired. I'm sure at some point I'll see a picture and know that's exactly what I want, but I'm still looking for that picture.

Even with an eisemann exhaust, full induction kit and a re-map you still wouldn't be happy with the power (130bhp absolute maximum!!) and you'd be about £1200 or more worse off!
Be happy with what you've got or buy something else was the advice I was given...
I'd agree with Bader mate - being an N/A engine there isn't much you can do. It will probably smooth out the throttle response a bit, but the power gains will be minimal.
For now I'd try a descent induction kit. But even that won't add too much power.
Quality reply to the tuning guys there...
Looking forward to seeing some pics soon.
tomorrow i will deffinately put pictures up day time and night time because of them angel eyes.
which reminds me, i picked up some lights from my local parts guy and he gave me these bulbs that look exactly like the ones on ebay. when i put them in the car theyre alot better and they have that blue tint, however i saw on the side of the box it said " not for street use " so dunno what to do now.
Good stuff - I've asked my fair share of stupid questions at the garage in my time! Its only bad when they have no sense of humour!
How bright are the bulbs you have been given? It may be more trouble then they are worth if your local plod are bored. When I was searching for info about HID's I came across a police forum discussing it and some of them have a massive issue with aftermarket kits and bulbs and will do everything possible to chuck the book at you.
the stupid thing is instead of targeting the people who have put these after market mods onto their cars they should go to the people supplying them on ebay and shops.
how bright my lights are? well its an 80w light, its bright but i wouldnt say its a great deal brighter than my old ones.
I know stupid isn't it - its not illegal to supply them, but it is illegal to install them if your cas doesn't have projectors. A definitive answer would make life much easier!
If they're not much brighter than standard, you'll probably get away with them.

The Rage Cage Bow and Arrow Quiver is a compact and ultra-light archery quiver. This quiver is constructed from advanced polymers and extruded aluminum for reduced weight - only weighing in at only 8 ounces. It is designed to securely hold five arrows equipped with mechanical broadheads. Easy to mount to your bow with the SnapTrap snap on design. The system incorporates a pair of rubber vibration dampening posts to completely isolate the quiver from the bow. Installation and removal requires a simple and silent twist of the Rage Cage to lock or unlock it. A carbon fiber dipped polymer hood fully encapsulates and protects your mechanical broadheads, while the see through Flexiglass Shield allows you to see what's under the hood. The new TwistLock broadhead securing system inside the hood holds your broadheads snug inside specially designed foam inserts that prevent rattling or prematurely deployed blades. Simply insert your broadhead into the TwistLock, and give your arrow shaft a quick twist, and the broadhead is held in place. It's a simple as that. A braided nylon string is attached to the hood, allowing it to be hung easily in your hunting treestand.

The Abbey in the Foothills reopened Friday afternoon, a day after a creditor seized the restaurant and locked out the operators after they fell three months behind in paying off a delinquent debt.
At an emergency hearing Friday morning before U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Brenda Moody Whinery, Ventura-Pacific Development agreed to allow Abbygrace LLC to enter the restaurant at 6960 E. Sunrise Drive and resume operations, said the company's attorney Mark Heckele. In court documents, Abbygrace LLC, owned by Brian and Sandy Metzger, argued that Ventura-Pacific did not follow the terms of a promissory note signed June 14, 2013, that required Abbygrace be given "written notice of an event of default" and 10 days to respond before Ventura-Pacific could seize the property.
Heckele said the restaurant is three months behind in its payments to satisfy a $30,000 debt from renovation work Ventura-Pacific did nearly three years ago. Part of that agreement called for Ventura-Pacific to take possession of the lease, the restaurant and its contents should Abbygrace not pay the note.
Metzger on Thursday blamed an accounting error for the missed payments. Late Thursday afternoon, he filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, listing on court documents assets and liabilities of $100,000 to $500,000. Ventura-Pacific on Friday petitioned the court to dismiss the bankruptcy if Metzger does not file a list of Abbygrace LLC creditors by next Thursday and a detailed schedule of the restaurant's assets and liabilities by May 22 as prescribed in federal bankruptcy laws, court records show.
Brian Metzger would not comment on Friday's court proceedings except to say that he was "so excited I can't tell you" that the restaurant reopened in time for dinner service. His attorney Scott D. Gibson did not return a phone call seeking comment.
In a written statement, Metzger said The Abbey will be open for Mother's Day Sunday and was still accepting reservations for brunch and dinner.
Heckele said the parties return to court Wednesday.

Advocates want Congress to ban DTC
The draft legislation, which has not yet attracted any sponsors, claims that DTC does not promote public health but instead increases both drug costs and unnecessary prescriptions.
The bill would prohibit all DTC ads, including reminder and help-seeking ads directing people to Web sites intended to promote the sale of particular drugs.
An exception would be created for print ads that present only the names and prices of prescription drugs or inform consumers that certain drugs are available at certain locations.
If those provisions were found to be unconstitutional, the bill's fallback position is that:
(1) DTC drug ads must include additional warnings appropriate to the drug, informing consumers the drug was approved based on testing that included fewer than typically 3,000 people and may be dangerous in ways that limited research has not revealed, and the FDA does not certify that the drug is more effective, safer, or cheaper than others in its class; (2) DTC drug ads are not tax deductible; and (3) Drug companies are subject to a 3% windfall profits tax that is dedicated to a fund controlled by the National Institutes of Health for conducting studies on comparative benefits of drugs.

A fictitious word made up by people who don't know words like fictional and fictitious. The people making it up are probably fictional too.
by Downstrike October 07, 2004
A person who likes fiction and things such as a fantasy to escape reality knowing that they're more happy in a fake, unreal, fantasy world that they usually live in. These people have been hurt so many times that they cease to believe in the reality that they come across and the reality that led them to suicidal thoughts. These people are the realest people that you will ever meet. They understand pain more than anyone else. When they say they care about you they aren't lying, when they say they love you better believe it because they've lived in pain too much to hate anyone else besides them self.

Murder in the Gunroom HTML version
Chapter 7
When Walters entered, Rand had his pipe lit and was walking slowly around the room,
laying out the work ahead of him. Roughly, the earliest pieces were on the extreme left,
on the short north wall of the room, and the most recent ones on the right, at the south
end. This was, of course, only relatively true; the pistols seemed to have been classified
by type in vertical rows, and chronologically from top to bottom in each row. The
collection seemed to consist of a number of intensely specialized small groups, with a
large number of pistols of general types added. For instance, about midway on the long
east wall, there were some thirty-odd all-metal pistols, from wheel lock to percussion.
There was a collection of U.S. Martials, with two rows of the regulation pistols, flintlock
and percussion, of foreign governments, placed on the left, and the collection of Colts on
the right. After them came the other types of percussion revolvers, and the later metallic-
cartridge types.
It was an arrangement which made sense, from the arms student's point of view, and
Rand decided that it would make sense to the dealers and museums to whom he intended
sending lists. He would save time by listing them as they were hung on the walls. Then,
there were the cases between the windows on the west wall, containing the ammunition
collection—examples of every type of fixed-pistol ammunition—and the collection of
bullet-molds and powder flasks and wheel lock spanners and assorted cleaning and
loading accessories. All that stuff would have to be listed, too.
"I beg your pardon, sir," Walters broke in, behind him. "Mrs. Fleming said that you
wanted me."
"Oh, yes." Rand turned. "Is this the whole thing? What's on the walls, here?"
"Yes, sir. There is also a wall-case containing a number of modern pistols and revolvers,
and several rifles and shotguns, in the room formerly occupied by Mr. Fleming, but they
are not part of the collection, and they are now the personal property of Mrs. Fleming. I
understand that she intends selling at least some of them, on her own account. Then, there
is a quantity of ammunition and ammunition-components in that closet under the
workbench—cartridges, primed cartridge-shells, black and smokeless powder, cartridge-
primers, percussion caps—but they are not part of the collection, either. I believe Mrs.
Fleming wants to sell most of that, too."
"Well, I'll talk to her about it. I may want to buy some of the ammunition for myself,"
Rand said. "So I only need to bother with what's on the walls, in this room?... By the way,
did Mr. Fleming keep any sort of record of his collection? A book, or a card-index, or
anything like that?"
"Why no, sir." Walters was positive. Then he hedged. "If he did, I never saw or heard of
anything of the sort. Mr. Fleming knew everything in this room. I've seen him,
downstairs, when somebody would ask him about something, close his eyes as though
trying to visualize and then give a perfect description of any pistol in the collection. Or
else, he could enumerate all the pistols of a certain type; say, all the Philadelphia

Is Leonard better than Leopold? Or maybe Maynard beats them both?
Some days ago, I've asked you about the name Leopold, which I consider for my baby. Your doubts made me think of another similar L-name, Leonard. I think it has a retro chick to stand in a row with Zelda and Dashiell - and you? Maynard was also considered and maybe it's worth re-thinking? Please, share your opinions. I know I'm coming back here with my lists again and again - but believe me: I will not name this kid without nameberryZelda Astrid - 21.02.2011

I remember seeing the thread, but unfortunately didn't have time to respond to it (or even read it, really)--what are the concerns with Leopold? Because honestly I adore it, and I was starting to swoon at the thought of the sibset Zelda, Dashiell, and Leopold! I thought it was stunning. What am I missing? I know Leopold's not everyone's favorite (I guess they feel it's a bit pretentious and over-the-top princely?), but I adore it for its princely vibe, and feel like it goes with Zelda and Dashiell very well. I like it much, much more than Leonard or Maynard, both of which feel pretty dorky and musty (although dorky can be cool--both feel like the bad sort of dorky to me? Sorry to be such a downer!).

Hi @ashthedreamer! Let me explain. There were two objections: serious and ...not so serious. The first is, of course, infamous king Leopold of Belgium and Congo genocide case. It was a hard mind work to do for me too, as I'm jewish and genocide is an important word in my family. For me, the great european naming tradition behind the name Leopold definitely beats this horrible piece of our history. the second objection... Royal Baby is here and the royal names are hot again. I didn't want something superpopular, but love Leopold anyway. And that's why I started with Leonard!Zelda Astrid - 21.02.2011

Maynard is the friendly old man who sells fresh produce and boiled peanuts on a roadside stand in rural Georgia. A sweet old man, but not really a name for a boy born after WWII. I prefer Leonard over Leopold because Leopold just feels really pretentious to me. Isn't Leonard sort of stereotypically Jewish though? I would prefer to see Lionel or Leon with Zelda and Dashiell.Under

Pachypodium Primer
Pachypodiums are a very popular and easy to grow family of caudiciforms. Some species like P. lamerei have tall upright thick spiny stems topped with non-succulent lance-like leaves. These are very popular with Florida growers because they look like palm trees. Other species, such as P. saundersii, have have short fat trunks with short branches. Caring for your pachypodium is very easy. They like regular water during the warm growing season and prefer to stay on the dry side during the cool rest period of winter. Also, remember that when repotting, the current leaves will dry and drop off, to be later replaced by a fresh set of leaves. Pachypodium are very cold sensitive and should be protected from frost.

WTF???? How can you stop this crap?
I guess we could talk about gun laws
If people want to do harm, they will always find a way to do harm. If the guy didn't have access to a gun, what's stopping him from making a bomb?
Let's not turn this thread into gun law debate.
news out of Wyoming's Casper College, where someone went on a rampage with a bow and arrow and killed three people. Sadly, we've become all too used to school/mass shootings this year, and the ensuing back and forth conversation about gun control that happens after them, but how, exactly, do a bow and arrow factor in to all of this?
12 people confirmed dead from federal and local sources
i'll take my chances against the pyscho with the bow over the pyscho with the gun
quote:guarantee you that number will come down.CBS is always spitting out bull shite numbers, however one dead is to many.
CBS news is reporting 27 dead.
has to be more than one shooter if that many people are hit...
quote:you're taking my comment and quoted article the wrong way. I am agreeing with you.
What does that have to do with turning this thread into cun control deebate.
you're taking my comment and quoted article the wrong way. I am agreeing with you
By Miguel Llanos, NBC News Updated at 12:40 p.m. ET: Many school children were shot, perhaps at least 20, two officials told NBC News, when a gunman burst into a Connecticut school Friday morning. The alleged gunman was later found dead, an official said of the shooting incident that sent crying children spilling into the parking lot.
quote:par for their course.
Apparently CBS never understands that being shot doesn't automatically mean you are dead. Shitty journalism.

Michael Jackson's strange demand for child choir
Jackson wants a children's choir in exactly equal ethnic groups.
London: Michael Jackson is making strange requests for his comeback concerts starting Saturday - he wants a children's choir that will have "exactly equal" numbers of black, white, mixed-race and Asian singers.
According to mirror.co.uk, Jackson also wants every child to know sign language and they are supposed to be in the age group of 5 to 13 years. The weird request was sent to casting agents on behalf of promoters AEG Live, who are organising his 50 concerts at O2 Arena.
"Normally when we cast choirs for acts, it's quite a laborious task. But in this case, it's proving a near impossibility. Jacko is a perfectionist and wants it exactly right and that means every child being able to do sign language. AEG are desperate to keep Jacko happy and so are pulling out all the stops to make it happen. But it's a race against time," an insider said.
Jackson also wants that the six marching snare drummers should be clean shaved. He instead wants them to be "young adults, clean-cut and of mixed ethnicity".

As fuel prices zoom, the advice-givers emerge, unbidden, to tell us ways to save fuel.
The average price of regular gasoline is $3.517 a gallon, AAA reported Tuesday, and that's up a stiff 39.3 cents in a month and a heftier 76.4 cents the past year. That's an average, so don't be surprised to find $4-plus gasoline in some places.
Drive On thinks a lot of the fuel-saving suggestions that make the rounds are half-baked and all but worthless. But some are OK, and others wind up being good safety tips, never mind whether they'd save much fuel.
Here's one Drive On endorses (and is often ignored): Shut off the engine.
Oh, but there is so much more you can do. Hit "read more" for tips from repair site AutoMD. And other ideas are in the video above.
Drive with your eyes focused well ahead. You see a lot of drivers looking barely past their front bumpers. Everything that happens is a surprise to them. If you scan far ahead, you get a two-fer. You anticipate traffic conditions and don't need to slow down, then speed back up as often. That saves fuel. And you don't find yourself suddenly in the middle of a traffic accident that you could have seen developing and thus avoided if you'd been looking far down the road.
Hard acceleration -- wide-open throttle, especially -- drinks fuel fast. But it's also sometimes necessary to match traffic conditions and it's almost always fun. We'll let you find your own balance on that one.
Another common tip that's good for both safety and conservation: Make sure your tires have the right amount of air pressure. Most of today's cars have warning lights that tell you if a tire is low, but not which one. Get out and check. With a gauge; you can't eyeball it accurately.
Nor do most tire pressure warning systems give you an alert if your tires are low but all have about the same pressure. The systems measure the difference between tires, so you could be driving on four nearly flat tires and, because they all had about the same pressure, your idiot light would remain an idiot. General Motors and some other enlightened automakers provide systems that tell you the pressure in each tire.
Your correct tire pressure isn't necessarily what's printed on the sidewall of the tire. That's the maximum pressure, which might or might not coincide with the automaker's recommendation. Check the owner's manual and the driver's-side door sill for correct pressure. Tires with too little pressure use more fuel, and they can let the car go out of control easier than properly inflated tires.
AutoMD, which you can find here, sends around a few of its own, including that tire pressure item. Others:
Make sure your gas cap fits tightly.
Change to synthetic oil. We like synthetic for its engine-longevity-oriented friction reduction. But we wonder if there's enough mileage bang for the buck in that one. Synthetic oil is much higher-priced than conventional oil -- roughly two or three times as expensive; say, $8 per quart vs. $3. Will synthetic's "slipperier" nature really reduce friction enough to save sufficient fuel to offset the cost?
Replace spark plugs and air filter. You should be doing that anyway as part of routine maintenance, especially the air filter. Today's plugs can go much longer without replacing, but keep track of your maintenance and see if perhaps it is time for new plugs. The insidious thing is that a filter gets dirty and plugs get fouled over time. You don't notice a sudden drop in mileage or performance to alert you.
The biggest fuel-economy item is you. There's no magic bullet. Keep your car up to snuff, your eyes down the road and your engine off when you can.
