The sign names the intersection of Carlos Avenue and North Gower Street in Hollywood "Ian Campbell Square."
Also last week, signs were placed on the Gower Street Overpass on Hollywood Freeway honoring the fallen officer. The new signs can be seen on both sides of the overpass. Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of the crime.
Powell Killed Campbell
On March 10, 1963, Campbell and Hettinger pulled over a vehicle in which Gregory Powell and Jimmy Lee Smith, two ex-convicts, were riding. Powell managed to grab Campbell's gun and then demanded that Hettinger turn over his weapon.
The two officers were then taken in Powell's vehicle to a road between two onion fields in Kern County, California. Mistakenly thinking he would be executed for kidnapping, Powell shot Campbell, 31, point blank and tried to shoot Hettinger.
Hettinger managed to avoid begin shot and ran off into the darkness to a farm house to get help.
Case Haunts Hettinger
Ten years after the incident, the case became famous as the subject of a best-selling book by Joseph Wambaugh and in 1979 the book was made into a movie, The Onion Field starring James Woods as Powell and Franklyn Seales as Smith. John Savage played Carl Hettinger and Ted Danson played Ian Campbell.
Giving up his weapon to the kidnappers haunted Hettinger the rest of his life and changed the way LAPD officers are trained to handle similar situations. They are now trained to never give up their weapons regardless of the situation.
Hettinger was psychologically affected by the incident and the aftermath and died a broken man in 1994. All of the principals in the kidnapping are now dead.
Smith, who was paroled in 1982, returned to jail several times as a result of his drug addiction. He died in jail in April 2007. Powell remained behind bars the rest of his life and died in prison in August 2012 of pancreatic cancer, after being denied compassionate release.

Instructor's Guide: Respiratory Protection Training Kit
Purpose of this training module
You may use this slide presentation to comply with the training requirements of the WISHA Core Rule requirements for Respiratory Protection outlined in WAC 296-842. You can read the training requirements of the rule at the end of this guide. There are three modules: Module 1 - Filtering Facepieces (dust masks), Module 2 - Cartridge Respirators, and Module 3 - Supplied-air Respirators.
The topics covered in these modules are those required in the rule.
However, you may use different materials that cover these topics if
you believe that they will be more effective.
Getting Ready
1. Resources and materials you will need:
- A quiet room with basic accommodations for comfort of participants
- A copy of the presentation (computer slide show, overheads, or handouts)
- Overhead projector or computer and projector for powerpoint presentation
- Copies of the handouts (optional)
- Respirators used at the worksite (recommended)
- Certificates to hand out to the class as proof of attendance (optional)
- A training roster to pass around for your records (recommended)
2. Review the presentation materials.
Take the time to look through each of the slides and read the instructor's notes that come with each slide. If you have any questions after looking through these materials, you can contact your local L&I office (see page 3) for assistance before you give your first presentation.
3. Customizing the presentation.
- The information contained in this module applies to all workplaces. However, you are also required to include information about conditions that exist at your workplace. In Module 1, Slides # 4, 5, 6 & 17 provide a place to include that information. In Module 2, slides # 5, 6, 7, 12 & 26 provide a place for that information. In Module 3, slides # 5, 8 & 28 provide a place for that information. Just using the training module without the workplace-specific information will not satisfy all training requirements.
- If you have PowerPoint on your computer, additional information is easily added to the PowerPoint version after downloading. The PowerPoint version can be modified, but modification that changes the essential meaning or deletes information may not meet the training requirements.
- If you use the PDF version, the slides cannot be changed, but you can provide the workplace specific information orally, on overhead transparencies or as paper handouts.
4. Prepare the materials and schedule the class
- If you have a computer video projection system (a laptop and projector), all you need to do is check to make sure the presentation works and make copies of the handouts.
If you plan to use an overhead projector, print the slides out on transparencies. The PDF version will print quicker and use less printer memory. The slides will be clearer if they are printed in color. If you don't have a color printer, your local print or copy store can print out color transparencies for you.
- Schedule the class for a date and time convenient to most people.
If you want many employees and supervisors to participate, try not
to make groups larger then 15 attendees.
Presenting the Training
Give the presentation
You can use your own words rather than just reading from the script. You can also make three-slide-per-page handouts of the training.
Ask for participation
It also helps to involve the audience as much as possible by asking them questions and getting them to talk about their own jobs, their use of respirators and any suggestions they may have on how to reduce their exposure to airborne chemicals.
Questions and answers
Answer any questions the best that you can. Even if you don't have the technical knowledge to answer a lot of questions on respirators, you can still answer the important questions about the way that your company is addressing employee exposure to chemicals and your respiratory protection policies. If any questions on respiratory protection, or chemical exposures are asked that you need help answering, you can contact your local L&I office listed below.
Within a week or two of giving the training, you might want to take a few minutes to talk to some of the employees and supervisors to make sure they understood what was presented and how it applies to them.
Getting help
If you have questions while preparing to give this presentation, or if questions come up during the presentation that you need help in answering, contact your local L&I office listed below for assistance:
|Telephone #
|E-mail address
Provide effective training
(1) Train employees, based on their duties, if they do any of the following:
(a) Use respirators
(b) Supervise respirator users
(c) Issue, repair, or adjust respirators
(2) Present effective training in a way that employees understand.
Training may be provided using audiovisuals, slide presentations, formal classroom instruction, informal discussions during safety meetings, training programs conducted by outside sources, or a combination of these methods.
You may want to have instructors available when using video or automated training methods to:
(3) Make sure a qualified instructor provides training
(4) Provide training, at no cost to the employee, at these times:
(a) Initially, before worksite respirator use begins
(b) Periodically, within 12 months of the previous training
(c) Additionally, when the following occur:
• The employee hasn't retained knowledge or skills
• Changes in the worksite, or type of respirator make previous training incomplete or obsolete.
• You may accept an employee's previous training, such as training provided by another employer, to satisfy the initial training requirement if:
• If you accept an employee's previous training to satisfy the initial training requirement, you are still responsible for providing periodic, and additional training when needed. Periodic training would need to be provided within 12 months of the employee's previous training.
(5) Make sure employees can demonstrate the following knowledge and skills as required by their duties:
(a) Why the respirator is necessary. Include, for example, information identifying respiratory hazards such as hazardous chemicals, the extent of the employee's exposure, and potential health effects and symptoms
(b) The respirator's capabilities and limitations. Include, for example, how the respirator provides protection and why air-purifying respirators can't be used in oxygen-deficient conditions
(c) How improper fit, use, or maintenance can compromise the respirator's effectiveness and reliability
(d) How to properly inspect, put on, seal check, use, and remove the respirator
(e) How to clean, disinfect, repair, and store the respirator, or how to get this done by someone else
(f) How to use the respirator effectively in emergency situations; including what to do when a respirator fails and where emergency respirators are stored
(g) Medical signs and symptoms that may limit or prevent the effective use of respirators such as shortness of breath or dizziness
(h) The employer's general obligations under this chapter. For example, developing a written program, selecting appropriate respirators, and providing medical evaluations.

Best Mexican Breakfast Buffet – I have been going to Carlos Mexican Restaurant for a couple years now, mainly for their breakfast buffet. It?s only 8 bucks and includes made to order omelets, pancakes and all the Mexican favorites like menudo. The wait staff is very friendly and the service is prompt. They have made a life long customer out of me.
On a side note ? they are moving to a new building right next door and changing their name to Tequila Patio. Seems like a good thing is going to get even better.

EEK! I just looked at the clock and realized that aside from getting up for bio breaks and to grab lunch from the fridge, I haven't left my desk to MOVE since I got here at 8:30 AM.
I am off to take a quick 10 minute walk! Have YOU moved today!?!?!?

I try to go for a quick walk in the middle of the day - I do this about 1/2 the time, and often do a call while I am out there, but boy, does it help. Good reminder!

My job insists that I get out of the house daily. Yesterday, we ran errands: I was on my feet, pushing a four-seater stroller for two hours. Today we will go to the park.
Hmmm... I'm realizing that I'm going to have to get other patterns into my life as I make the career switch to the much more sedentary one I crave. (I don't crave it, BTW, because it's sedentary. That just occurred to me. Damn! I've just pared my ass down to size!)
Thanks for the heads-up, Kathy!!

A coworker and I used to take fresh air breaks. We figured if the smokers could dash outside for a 10 minute cigarette, we could take a 10 minute walk around the parking lot. Not exactly scenic, but a nice break to the day.

Ever since I originally posted this I have made a point of getting up and going for a ten minute walk outside every day just to get away from my desk for a bit. We have a nice park near my office and the weather (with the exception of today) has been wonderful. In addition I have been trying to get up to go talk to people more instead of pinging them with IM's all day. Movement is GOOD.

That's probably the best thing I've heard in a while. I used to walk during lunch but then I found myself not being able to get my errands done. So now, I've decided to use my 2 15 minute breaks to do some laps around the building.
I did that today and recognized just how much that little movement helps, it clears your head and lets you destress, if only for a moment.

Partners Francisco "Patxi" Azpiroz and William Freeman have announced the opening of their ninth Bay Area Patxi's Pizza location, their first in San Jose.
Patxi's Pizza opens today at 11 a.m. in the new resort-style mixed-use apartment complex at Crescent Village at 3350 Zanker Rd.
"We're thrilled to bring Patxi's to San Jose—we feel like the area is really underserved in terms of dining. Plus, what goes better with the tech industry than pizza? We think our customers coming from the tech space in particular will enjoy the launch of our Predictive Pizza Ordering System, Pic-a-Pie, not to mention ordering our pies for delivery to their offices or getting out and enjoying happy hour with coworkers," Freeman said.
Also, Patxi's San Jose will introduce special 3-wheel style delivery bikes that will be used to transport residents of Crescent Village to and from the restaurant. Patxi's will also use these alternative, green modes of transportation to deliver pizzas to Crescent Village residents.
Some design elements of the new restaurant include:
- Industrial-style chrome lighting fixtures, exposed brick walls and reclaimed wood.
- Salvaged wood from Cal Memorial Stadium at UC Berkeley (c. 1923) used to create the custom bar- and table-tops created for Patxi's by local Berkeley furniture purveyor, The Wooden Duck.
- Antique mirrors hang above the full bar with seating for 11.
- An open kitchen window.
Finally, Patxi's San Jose location will soon be offering the Pic-a-Pie Predictive Pizza Ordering System—a proprietary, patent-pending algorithm that allows guests to enjoy Patxi's signature Chicago-style Stuffed Pizza without the 35-minute window of time it typically takes to bake. The Pic-a-Pie system allows guests to Pic their Pie from a queue of near-ready pizzas shown on a sleek tablet. Guests can "claim" their pizzas when dining in or when calling in carryout-out or delivery orders.

It's Hard to Answer the Question "How was Your Trip?"

This will be a multi part question, with the aim of clarification and guidance.
I have a task which I require to be run every night at midnight. wp_schedule_event looks like its going to be my ticket, but I was unsatisfied with how WordPress handles cron jobs. From my understanding WordPress, on every page load will call wp-cron.php and then wp_cron.php checks to see if there are any cron jobs waiting to be executed.
While this is not really any issue, I am attempting to keep the amount of processies running on every page load to a minimum as I have already experienced a slowing of my site, and I want to avoid duplicates of a single cron job being run.
This code looks to accomplish the task I need to run every night:
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'cron_job_activation_hook');
function cron_job_activation_hook() {
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'daily', 'leaderBoardDailyUpdateHook');
add_action('leaderBoardDailyUpdateHook', 'update_leaderBoard_daily');
function update_leaderBoard_daily() {
//do my daily thing
Then I found this which states I can disable the behavior of running wp-cron.php on every page load by using this snippet:
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
The article then explains how to manually call wp-cron.php using a standard php cron job, like so:
wget http://www.server.com/wp-cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
But users were reporting that this will cause your server to create blank wp-cron.php files when it calls wp-cron.php on its scheduled run time.
A user suggests using:
wget -O - -q -t 1 http://www.server.com/wp-cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
If you run the wget command as listed above, it will create a file named wp-cron.php.x each time it's run, where "x" gets incremented. You'll wind up with a lot files.
Better to use
wget -O - -q -t 1 .....
"-O -" logs all output to stdout, which is redirected to /dev/null "-q" makes it quiet "-t 1" tries only once. By default, wget will try 20 times on a failure.
Question 1:
Can I include the define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); in my activation hook or does it need to run on every page load?
Question 2:
Do the above functions and calls appear to be correct in setting up a cron job with wordpress?
Question 3:
Does the proposed solution for the file duplication appear to be correct?
Thanks for any input and clearance on this. Apologies for the short story.

I usually carry my gels in my camelback so on marathon day when I don't run with the camelback what is the best and most comfy way to carry the gels with out them being a distraction ?
everyones advice is priceless to me being a rookie thank you all
27 Years off and a lot slower but improving
FM - 4:31.45 ( crash and burned )
Tough runs don't last.
Tough runners do.
Next Up:
Berlin Marathon 09/28/14
Boston Marathon 04/20/15
I have a race belt that holds gels. Before I got that, I pinned them to my shorts. Some people pin them to their hats.
I carry them in an old MP3 armband. You can fit 3-4 in there and they are out of the way. No chafing and easy to access.
Then I place the Geetah straw underneath the armband and I'm ready to go.
A variation on this: safety pin them and then tear off the Gel pouch while leaving the foil top attached to your shorts. (pin on the outside and fold them over so that they are between your hip and waistband. There's a video on RW somewhere that explains it more clearly.
1 mile: 6:46 (2013) 5K 23:40 (2012) 10K 47:19 (2012) 13.1 Road 1:48 (2013) 13.1 Trail 2:12 (2013)
Next up: Kiawah 13.1 (12/13); RW Challenge Big Sur 26.2 (4/14)
RaceReady makes shorts that have external elasticized mesh pockets designed to hold gels. (All their products are made in the USA.) I bought a pair to try. As shorts they are fantastic - great fit, lightweight, nice material - but I haven't done any runs long enough lately to require gels, so I can't give a first-hand account of that feature.
Still, I am hoping against hope that when I rack up mileage, they'll work well.
Another vote for Race Ready shorts! Love them pockets! I have been using mine for long runs, and I ran my last marathon in them, and will run my next and next and next marathon in them.
Upcoming Marathons: Prairie Fire- Wichita, Ks. 10/12/14
I have a little pouch that clips onto my waistband - I think it's made by Amphipod. Very handy for carrying gels
Honkeygrass is the one who inspired me to throw caution to the wind and buy a pair online. Loving them, and hopeful that I'll be able to do my next round of long training runs/marathon without any kind of belt or pouch.
2 in my pockets and 1 in each hand like I'm running the 4x4 in college again. Sooooo annoying holding them, but Honky is the man and I'll trust his reco.
PRs: 5K - 20:59 (11/13) | 10K - 44:20 (6/13) | 10 Mile - 1:14 (10/11) | Half - 1:36 (10/13) | Full - 3:48 (6/13)
Recent: 10 Mile Pacing - 1:25:09
Next: Pacing Race for the Lakes Marathon - April, Grandma's Marathon - June, Warrior Dash (Competitive Flight) - July
I have used the Race Ready shorts for years.
I do recommend if you buy a pair, go for a long run in them with three or four gels in the pockets, even if you aren't going to use that many in a race training run. It is a different feel running with the gels in them than without. I have to tighten the drawstring more as it feels like my shorts want to slide down.
I like to use up the gels in the back pockets first and leave the ones closer to the hips for later.
I carry alot of gels. I usually go thru 5 or 6 in a marathon. I use a Nathan waistpack. It's not the smallest option, but it is comfortable and allows me to fit a few other things in there too if needed. I have tried one of those simpler belts that holds the race bib and just has loops for gels. While the bib holder part is nice, I found that the gels can fall out of the loops.
For those who need more than a few
Runnin' since '73 and still a beginner
I do recommend if you buy a pair, go for a long run in them with three or four gels in the pockets, even if you aren't going to use that many in a race. It is a different feel running with the gels in them than without. I have to tighten the drawstring more as it feels like my shorts want to slide down.
Also, their sizes run a little small, so you should probably order one size bigger than you normally wear.
Nice simple race belt for me - although it looks like you've got an ammo belt around your waist (wait, it kinda IS ammo, isn't it?!) If it's cold I'll put a gel inside my gloves - your body heat warms it up a bit so it's not like you're trying to swallow a huge wad of gum. I will take a gel out of my belt a few minutes before I plan to take it so I can warm it up a bit.
I always buy shorts with pockets (mainly Nike) and carry one in each and one in my handheld.
"But the from way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it." - Rafiki
a small cheap flask - like a travel-sized lotion or shampoo container - works great. you can pick one up at a drug store or walmart for .50 to .99. i can generally get 3 - 4 gels in one.
for some races i've carried it, for others i've put it in a shorts back pocket (my personal preference is shorts with one pocket in the center back)
i usually carry gu in my shorts but my pants don't have pockets so i use this safety pin trick, too.
Thank you for all the great clever ideas!! Much appreciated now I will try some of them out on the training runs and order a pair of race ready shorts also.

+1 on this. I did a fuel test in the labs which suggested I needed to consume between 6-8 gels. For Boston this year, I put 4 in my short pockets, and 4 pinned to the front of my shorts in this manner with safety pins. Worked fine. They don't bounce around, and you really don't even notice them. I managed to get 7 of the 8 down without puking too. A gel PR...

My last marathon I carried two gels in my hands and replenished on course as needed. I consumed four gels during the race.

I agree with this. I don't think guilt is a good reason to do much of anything, and I think that being clear in one's morals and honest with those around them is a good thing.
But I think it can be difficult to do that in way that still nurtures our relationships with people who feel differently than us and yet are important to us, such as our grown children. How to stay true to ourselves and yet still stay connected to those we love who feel differently is difficult.
I don't see the answer as simplistically as just avoiding saying anything that another could take offense at, because staying true to ourselves still needs to be part of it. It's a dilemma.
Smokering, I'm sure we have more in common than we have different, even though we have different perspectives on this difficult and devise issue.

wanted to use it while exercising, but it is too small for phone, and the metal clip is bulky and heavy.
This is small, lightweight and barely noticeable when running. Much better than the Bloodpressure cuff-like armbands or the bouncy waist belts. Only drawback is that I have to put my iphone or keyfob in a plastic bag as this does not repel moisture. It is on the small side so do not expect to carry too much in it. An iphone and key is all that will fit and barely close.
Exactly what I thought!
My last Amphipod lasted 10 years, but the velcro finally wore out. It's my favorite type of key holder, since it attaches to any waistband, stays tightly shut, resists moisture well, and I don't even notice I'm wearing it. I was thrilled that SwimOutlet had it in so many colors. The pink is great, and I couldn't have found it anywhere else!

I opened my eyes to darkness, wondering where I was. Not a new experience. I've come to in plenty of strange places, under plenty of strange circumstances. And then I remembered that I had died. Or, at least, I thought I had.
Excuse me if I indulged in a moment of disappointment.
I've died before. In the Marines I took a hit, and they tell me my heart stopped during surgery. When I woke, though, I felt like shit. There were needles in my arm and the sound of machinery around me. I knew I was in a hospital. When I finally could make sense of the faces leaning over me and the words they spoke, I understood that I was a hero. What a fucking joke.
God, don't let that happen again.
This time, though, I felt fine. Numb, maybe, but not in the lovely morphine drip way. The pain in my leg, which had been my constant companion since the service, was gone. A respite that only happened when I was stoned off my ass or dreaming. So, maybe there was some wishful thinking mixed in, but I figured there were still odds that I might be really, truly, dead.
So now my thoughts went something like this:
1) Fuck, there is an afterlife,
2) And it's cold,
3) And dark.
4) This must be Hell.
Which is what I'd always expected, but still it was a sobering thought. I hadn't paid much attention those maybe five times I sat in a church, so I needed a little reconnaissance.
I cracked my eyes open and tried to see around myself. Hell was pitch black. I could hear a drip, drip of something and my imagination conjured bottomless pits full of icy cold water. The dark gradually yielded shapes, though, and I could make out a form next to me, looked like a sheet. No, wait, it was a body on a table under a sheet, proverbial toe with tag sticking out.
Crap, I wasn't in Hell. I was in a morgue.
I almost fell from wherever I lay, trying to get away from that thought. And that's when I realized that I was on some kind of table too. Stainless steel, by the feel of it. The sheet covering me fell to the floor and I looked down and there was my toe with a tag on it.
I kid you not. They thought I was dead. Hey, so did I. I pinched myself to make sure. Ouch.
It occurred to me that this might be some kind of trick. Some kind of Hellish mind game trick. But my head hurt too much to do that Rubik's Cube, and I just worked on getting the tag off my toe and my feet on the floor. Then, with my sheet wrapped around me, I walked around, trying to get my bearings.
I knew this place; it was the Los Angeles County Morgue. I'd been a cop for twenty years, and in Homicide for six of those, before the Vice Department decided I was more their type. Christ, did they hit that nail on the proverbial head. So, anyway, I knew this morgue.
I knew the sights and the sounds and the smells. The smell was what had usually gotten to me. The formaldehyde, mixed in with the smell of human flesh rotting, creates an odor the human body seems wired to reject. And then the ammonia they used to try to keep everything sterile just punched the other smells home and pretty soon big tough former marines were spewing into a trash can in the hallway.
So, I could smell that smell but it didn't bother me as much. And the room was now kind of blueish, even though there was nothing but a couple of power strip lights glowing for illumination. So the whole lying alone in darkness thing, which had always given me the gibbering freak ever since I'd been buried under that house in Afghanistan, was lessened a little.
This particular room was empty and dark, but in my experience, the place was usually a zoo. They must be busily cutting up someone in another room.
I checked out the guy laid out on the table next to mine. He was a helluva lot cleaner than he had been the last time I saw him, but I was pretty sure it was that dude Starz. The one that I had gone to meet in the Marina. There were two good-sized bullet holes in his chest. One of them looked like it had gone right through the heart. So, he was dead too, I guessed. Careful not to assume here, seeing as I had thought I was dead also.
There was another guy lying over there, without a sheet, on the table with the molded-in gutters along the sides and the drains. He was whiter than white in the weird light, and utterly still. He looked almost pristine and holy lying there in his altogether. He had the skeletal build of an addict, practically hairless, though the few strands on top of his head had been allowed to grow long. I didn't know him. Maybe he was one of the guys that jumped me. Or maybe he was another homicide that happened elsewhere. I couldn't see any obvious sign of what had killed him, but the world is a dangerous place. I'd seen people dead for an awful lot of stupid reasons in my career. Not all of them were obvious at first sight.
A frickin' pair of socks would have been good. Because the concrete floor was freezing and my feet were aching with the cold. Then, I remembered where they kept the clothes they took off the dead bodies and I pushed through a big swinging door into the room next door where I found the drawers that held all the plastic bags with the names on them.
My clothes were there, but they were covered with blood. I mean, the shirt was so soaked with blood it was stiff. Christ, I thought as I inspected it, how did I survive this? So, I went through the other boxes until I found a shirt and a pair of jeans that more or less fit. Of course, my wallet and keys and gun weren't in there. They were probably in Evidence. Which I could not get to without setting off every alarm in the place.
Which I did not want to do. Because the last I remembered, my fellow LAPD officers had just surprised me in an extremely compromising position. In fact, I was willing to bet I would have been sitting in jail right at that moment if they hadn't thought I was dead.
So I sat down and pondered this a bit.
While I was sitting there, I caught movement from the stiff on the dolly. I rubbed my eyes and blinked hard. My eyes had always played tricks with me in here. It was just one of those spooky places that made a guy imagine things.
But then, as I watched, the fucking thing, person, whatever, sat up.
You know the ME was getting pretty sloppy. That's two guys they thought were dead that were not.
I expected the former corpse to be as disoriented as I had been, so I was completely unprepared for him jumping up off that table and coming at me like a lion leaping on a zookeeper. Mouth open, making an otherworldly growling howling noise.
Hey, I've been trained in combat and I've worked the streets of Los Angeles for a decade. I'm not the kind of guy you generally get a drop on. But a scrawny, ghost-white naked man leaping across the floor while screaming can take even me aback.
I had time to throw my arms up in a defensive posture before he landed on me and we both went backward. I heard a loud crack, which was my head hitting the concrete floor. I should have been out knocked out cold. Except I wasn't. On the contrary, I was experiencing a rush of something like adrenaline with a speed chaser. Strength surged into my arms and legs, my whole body felt euphoric, and I found myself--gleefully, mind you--thwapping the guy's head against a wall.
This seemed not to faze him in the least. He had this wide, teeth-baring grin. He looked like a bear trap, with fangs. No kidding. Fangs. His fingers wrapped around my neck. And then he kneed me. It was like getting kicked by a Clydesdale. I fell, but I kept my grip and brought him with me. A tray of equipment came down with us and I heard the ping ping ping of metal instruments raining around us.
We were rolling and clawing and choking each other. I could hear myself snarling too. His eyes, close up, were yellow and his fangs snapped. The fangs kept registering in some back room of my mind, but in the forefront of consciousness I was just getting off on the violence. I let go of his neck and started punching him repeatedly in the chest. I could feel his ribs breaking.
Then he screamed, grabbed my balls, and bit my neck.
And at this point I'd say that the squeamish among you should avert your gaze but, seeing as you're reading this, not watching it on television, I guess I'll just warn you that the next part gets a little ugly.
Nobody grabs my privates uninvited. I gripped his head with my hands and twisted. His mouth popped off my neck; I heard his vertebrae crack. For just an instant his grip on my nuts loosened and I snagged the offending hand and snapped its wrist like it was a twig. Then, for reasons I would not understand until later, I brought that broken wrist up to my mouth and bit down.
His pumped up, adrenalized blood flooded my mouth. It tasted good. Better than good. It tasted better than anything I'd ever tasted in my life. I could feel him yanking out my hair, fingers gouging and clawing, but I still had him while he struggled and screamed. And then I found myself just sort of lost in the moment, as his life pumped into my mouth. Until he stopped moving and I lifted my head from his arm. And realized what I had done.
I'd done a lot of fucked-up things in my life. This one took the proverbial cake.
There was blood all over me. I touched my face and found it wet with blood. You'd think this would make me sick. Nope. I licked my lips and fingers like it was Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was hungry for more. Starving. Buzzing like I'd just snorted speed and I needed to move move move.
Considering that I had just bit a corpse to death in the Los Angeles County Morgue, this urge to move seemed logical. I went to one of the sterile steel sinks and splashed water on my face. Peeled off my stolen shirt and used it to swab myself off. Then I had to go steal another shirt. This one was a worn flannel number with what looked like a couple bullet holes in it, but I'm a big guy and there weren't a lot of choices.
I looked around the room and, of course, it was hopelessly trashed. My prints would be everywhere and the minute I walked out the door I'd be seen, or the security cameras would pick up my image. But I figured as soon as they saw it was my body missing, they'd know what had happened anyway, so there was no sense in trying to cover anything up. Nope. My only chance was to come up with a plausible excuse for everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours. You can imagine in the past five years or so I've become something of an expert in the art of plausible excuses.
A digital clock in the morgue told me it was just after 7:00 p.m. There was always a crew opening up a stiff somewhere down here, so it was just a matter of moments before somebody came back into this room and found the mess. And started looking for me.
I peeked out the door and there were lights coming from a couple labs down the way, but there seemed to be a clear, unpeopled path to the back stairway that led to the ivy-covered hillside and street. I was already coming up with my excuses as I shouldered open the door. Something along the lines of "disoriented upon finding himself in a morgue" or something.
Up the two flights of stairs, and of course somebody had left the door propped open. I saw the man probably responsible for this little security violation, standing outside having a smoke. He kind of turned his head as I passed, but my legs were made of lightning and before he could even open his mouth, I'd rounded the corner, leaped through the ivy, and was over the Hurricane fencing and halfway down the block.
I paused to look down in surprise at my bad knee. Near death experiences seemed to suit it because it was working like a kid's knee. Like the seventeen-year-old tight end's knee it had been long ago.
East Los Angeles is no place to be without cash or credit cards, wearing a dead man's clothes, especially in the middle of the night, so the first thing I thought was I needed to call a friend and get out of there. Of course, the problem with that was having a friend to call. So then I thought of Peter. Peter who just never seemed able to say no.
We all have a Peter. Even mofobags like me have that friend who always gets the one phone call from jail. Yeah. For me, that's Peter.
It took me three pay phones before I found one that still worked and placed a collect call "to Peter from Adam."
As soon as the operator announced the caller, Peter cursed and hung up.
Oh, right, Peter thought I was dead. So I called again, except now, while the operator was telling him that this was a collect call for Peter from Adam, I spoke over her. "Hey Pete, it's me. I know you think I'm dead but--"
He hung up.
This obviously was not going to work. I looked around. I was steps from the 101 freeway overpass, the feet of the thick concrete pylons used as makeshift beds for sleeping street persons. Looking more like trash and bundles of rags there in the shadows. It was not my proudest moment, okay, but I was desperate.
"Hey, gimme your cash."
The poor guy looked up at me with one eye. The other eye didn't seem able to open. His semitoothless mouth gaped as I just searched his pockets until I found a few bucks and some change.
Then I jogged back down to the UCLA medical center and waited at the bus stop with a couple teenagers in colors, a night shift nurse still wearing scrubs, and some goon who stank worse than the morgue, and took the bus headed toward Venice, where Peter lived.

By Kevin Marder
Wednesday's central bank-inspired rally effectively reset shares technically, as volume and the extent of the move swamped anything seen in nearly six weeks. The reset provides enough conviction to maintain the advance's technical credentials. But what does this mean for growth stocks?
For a larger chart, please click here .
Chart created using TradeStation . ©TradeStation Technologies, 2001-2013. All rights reserved.
Generally, the market does not have any gaping problems technically. It is a narrowing advance, with some breadth indicators peaking in mid to late October. This indicates the average stock is not keeping up with the large-capitalization-dominated averages.
While this divergence can always be undone, once it begins, it does not normally end until after a bear market has begun. Still, the duration of the divergence is minimal thus far.
Beyond the narrowing breadth of the advance, the other, more important issue for growth-stock speculators is the reduced speculative sentiment witnessed since early October. This has occurred as some participants are less willing to pay a premium for a growth stock when the same growth is now available in cyclicals, thanks to the improved economic outlook.
Granted, some institutions with a growth mandate will only hold classic growth stocks, no matter the climate. But others will migrate part of their portfolio into so-called soft cyclicals with growth characteristics, sometimes known as cyclical growth stocks or growth cyclicals. These are commonly found in the consumer sector.
Along these lines, within the list, the leading sector is industrial /quotes/zigman/246332/delayed/quotes/nls/xli XLI +0.78% , followed by consumer discretionary /quotes/zigman/246177/delayed/quotes/nls/xly XLY +0.13% .
There will always be at least a few growth-stock leaders in any climate, even one in which cyclical/value leads. But the sheer amount of participation by scores of growth titles earlier this year, along with its bubbling speculative sentiment, may not be seen for a while.
Among the names, Michael Kors Holdings /quotes/zigman/7705184/delayed/quotes/nls/kors KORS -0.20% is a marketer of luxury apparel and accessories. This corner was not especially positive on the issue some time ago in a tweet. Actually, the comment was not particularly negative, as it related to the fact that many other issues have performed better and are forecast to grow earnings at a higher rate than KORS.
That was then and this is now. The difference now is that the stock's relative strength rank is now 86, up from the low 80s previously. KORS is an example of a cyclical with growth characteristics. While growth has been excellent for a few years, it would suffer if the economy went into recession. This is the difference between a cyclical and a true growth stock. The latter is recession-resistant and shows above-average earnings growth.
Besides the stock showing better relative strength lately, it is a component of the consumer-discretionary sector, a cyclical segment. This may augur well for its outperformance, since as noted above, participants in the fourth quarter began favoring cyclicals more than growth. Most analysts predict KORS will post earnings growth of 44% and 23% in the March 2014 and 2015 fiscal years.
Technically, price emerged from a four-week flat pattern on Wednesday and can potentially be entered at current levels, with a sell-stop just below the 50-day moving average to mitigate the risk of being incorrect.

Most analysts forecast earnings growth of 266% for Amazon.com /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN +0.38% in 2014. Revenue has grown by 22%, 22%, 22% and 24% in the past four quarters. This may be considered an example of a cyclical growth stock. Business would be hurt in a recession.

A Microsoft-sponsored survey released Wednesday found that almost half of Web users felt like they had already lost control of their own data while online - just days after the Australian government complianed that Microsoft's suggested data policies might lead to just that result.
Some 45% of the 1,000 users polled by Ipsos Public Affairs found that users feel that they "have little or no control over the personal information companies gather about them while they are browsing the Web or using online services, such as photo-sharing, travel or gaming," Microsoft said in a statement.
"As online activities have become a valuable part of daily life, privacy is incredibly important. At Microsoft, we strive to help our customers manage their personal information online by providing easy-to-understand privacy policies, settings and guidance," said Brendon Lynch, chief privacy officer, Microsoft. "We take seriously our responsibility to customers by investing in a comprehensive and dynamic privacy program that implements our policies and delivers privacy innovations to our customers."
Microsoft also noted that while it published the report, it didn't author it; a pair of professors from Indiana University and Oxford did so. The report shouldn't be taken as Microsoft's official stance on online privacy, a company spokeswoman said.
Australia Isn't Convinced
But in an open letter to Microsoft sent January 15, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner questioned whether Microsoft was really committed to privacy, based on a series of privacy summits the company organized last November. Specifically, the OAIC expressed "reservations" about one of the "discussion topics" Microsoft encouraged attendees to discuss.
The privacy discussions (PDF) that Microsoft organized concerned updates to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Privacy Guidelines, developed in the 1970s - before the World Wide Web, social networks, email and other forms of electronic data transmission. The discussions were held in Brussels, Singapore, São Paulo, Sydney and Washington, D.C. - as well as in Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Wash. - to discuss modernizing the OECD guidelines for the information age.
Should Data Be Free To Collect?
The meetings proposed rewriting the so-called "Collection Limitation Principle," which states: "There should be limits to the collection of personal data and any such data should be obtained by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the data subject."
The report published by Microsoft states this "discussion version" was used:
"Data should be obtained by lawful and fair means and in a transparent manner. Data should not be collected in a manner likely to cause unjustified harm to the individual unless required by law. 'Harm' may include more than physical injury."
The OAIC worried that the revised discussion version placed no limitations on the collection of personal data. And the report said as much:
"[T]he requirement in the original OECD principle that data be collected, 'when appropriate,' with the 'knowledge or consent of the data subject,' seems to ignore the reality of the extraordinary volume of data that is generated today through routine activities and transactions and near-ubiquitous sensors (such as surveillance cameras, location monitoring by smart phones, and embedded computers in cars and other devices). Often, knowledge or consent of data collection in these situations is either nonexistent or likely to be so vague as to be meaningless. No one suggested that knowledge is not important, or that consent may not be appropriate in some settings, but there seems a real risk that the 'where appropriate' exception could swallow the entire principle, given today's technology landscape."
The OAIC expressed concern that such an approach to privacy would be illegal in Australia. "In our view, this would allow a considerably broader re-use of data than that allowed by the original OECD version and indeed by Australia's Privacy Act 1988."
In an email, Peter Cullen, Microsoft Chief Privacy Strategist, told ReadWrite, "Microsoft sponsored global conversations among privacy stakeholders to discuss how core privacy principles can evolve in a world of rapidly changing technology, data and innovation. We published a whitepaper to summarize those conversations and to invite further input. The Australian Privacy Commissioner's thoughtful feedback on the report is an important part of the ongoing dialogue."
Incidentally, at the Redmond meeting, members of other governments attended (Mexico's Secretary of the Economy, a member of Chile's House of Representatives, plus officials from Brazil and Costa Rica) but, according to Microsoft's report, no one representing the U.S. government did so.
Microsoft's Privacy Dashboard
According to the Microsoft/Ipsos survey, four in ten people online know how to protect and manage their online privacy. To make it even easier, Microsoft released a series of documents and videos that describe how to manage privacy settings on Microsoft products like Bing, Internet Explorer and the Xbox, as well as a general privacy dashboard.
While many users probably understand how to manage their browser privacy settings (turning off cookies, for example, or clearing Web pages cached within the browser) the Personal Data Dashboard beta will probably come as a pleasant surprise. The Dashboard allows users to block Microsoft from collecting personal information, preventing personalized ads (but not ads in general) It also allows users to select which topics they enjoy. Google does some of this as well.
Microsoft vs. Australia: Who's Right?
Unquestionably, Microsoft leads on one privacy aspect: Tracking Protection, a feature in Internet Explorer that actually blocks information that could be used by third parties, rather than a more gentlemanly "Do Not Track" request. From that standpoint, at least, Microsoft's commitment to privacy must be taken seriously.
So does Australia have a privacy gripe? Probably.
If nothing else, encouraging top-ranking officials from all over the world to assume that websites may capture whatever data they choose seems a bit Machiavellian. On the other hand, realpolitik suggests that all the free Web services we know and love must be paid for in some way, and that the currency of today's Web is often data, not dollars.
Still, government leadership in today's Web should follow the lead of states like California, whose mandatory privacy policies for mobile apps need to be enforced. Governments may benefit from encouraging digital partnerships, but they must always realize whose interests they represent.
(Editor's Note: The report that the OAIC referenced was published by Microsoft, based on meetings it organized. As the story now notes, the report was authored by two attendees.)

Pamper your bagpipes with Autosl polish.
We are always interested in hearing about uncommon uses for metal polishes that we review. In an e-mail received last week, we were told by a young lady that she had heard about Autosol polish on one of the bagpipe forums she follows. She decided to try some on her bagpipe's nickel ferrules. I am happy to report to you that she feels it worked great for her application. If you would like to try some too, just click here to get some Autosol quickly from our recommended online supplier. They ship most anywhere in the USA.
Scratches on your iPod Touch bothering you ?
From time to time we get e-mails asking if we think one type or another polish will remove scratches from shiny Apple products like iPods etc. While we do not have any first hand experience, we did come upon an interesting video posted on YouTube for just such a question. It is a video put up by bananalicks that has had some 268 thousand views. He uses Autosol metal polish in this video to take out scratches in his iPod Touch. His technique is good, judge for yourself if you would want to try it. Our only suggestion would be for you to try it an inconspicuous spot to see if you like the results the polish would give you. Autosol polish can be purchased from our recommended supplier by clicking here. You can find bananalicks video by clicking here.
|Polish Guy Tip : "Don't ever use tooth paste to polish your iPod. That would NOT be a good idea."
Cleaning a vintage Hella headlight & lens with Simichrome polish
If you restore old cars, old vintage Hella lights go for a premium price. This light assembly was made in Germany. The markings on the lens read K4556 1-101670 Hella made in Germany. On the inside back of the light reflector are numbers 142 ZFH ~~K 4556 Giuhlampe H3 on a yellow oval paper label. As you can see by the before photo below this was a barn find and was pretty dirty. In fact you could hardly read the lettering on the light. After taking the lamp apart, it was washed down with a mild soap, rinsed with clean water and dried. It was still impossible to see through the lens and the back of the assembly which is chrome was heavily tarnished. We decided to see what some Simichrome polish would do. On the lens itself, all that was necessary was about an inch or so dab of Simichrome polish right out of the tube. That was spread evenly with the finger tips of our hands. After letting it sit for a minute or two, the polish was wiped clean with a paper towel. That removed all the lingering caked on crud that had collected over the years from the ridges, mold lines and lettering. The inside of the lamp and the back side were tougher jobs. The inside cleaned up the easiest with a dab of Simichrome on a soft microfiber cloth. We had to be gentle with it as some of the plating on the inside of the reflector was flaking. On the back of the lamp, again we used Simichrome, spread evenly over all the chrome surface and buffed it to a clean shiny finish with the microfiber cloth turning it often to a clean section. Two applications were needed. The light was then buffed with a clean cloth and re assembled. Take a look at the pictures and see for your self what a little time and some Semichrome can do. You can buy the products we used in this post by clicking here from our recommended Simichrome polish distributor.
Another yearly price increase for Simichrome polish for 2014
In what seems as an annual notice for Simichrome, USA dealers and distributors were sent the factory 2014 price increase for Simichrome polish.
Effective March 1, 2014 , the list price will be $12.95 for the 1.76 ounce (50 gram) tubes, $38.75 for the small 8.82 ounce (250 gram) cans and $94.95 for the 35.27 ounce (1000 gram) large cans. That is a weighted average of 5 % increase in price. Simichrome normally increases prices once per year. But they are always subject to change without notice. If you are a volume user of Simichrome, you might want to think about stocking up a little at the old prices if you can find any. Our recommended supplier's website for Simichrome polish can be found by clicking here.

"Make sure you fully understand concepts instead of merely memorizing facts."
Those wise words came from Ward Melville High School senior Cathy Wang, one of 101 high school students chosen nationwide – and only one of two from New York State – by the Siemens Foundation to earn a $2,000 scholarship to college for her performance on specific Advanced Placement tests.
Wang, a senior, was a National Merit Semifinalist and plans to study engineering or physics in college, hoping to become a scientist or engineer afterward.
In her spare time, she enjoys performing in the school marching band and playing tennis.
The Siemens Foundation focused their scholarships on students with high scores in science, technology, engineering and mathematics AP courses.
Wang has taken 15 AP courses, noting her favorite one being physics B.

I was talking about books with a writing friend and the difference between reading a book and other forms of entertainment. It struck me that reading a book is much more intimate than most other forms of entertainment.
With movies, there are whole casts, producers, directors, and scores of others who mold the story before it ever reaches your eyes. Television is the same. In fact, often it's more enjoyable to watch a movie or TV show with another person to take it in together. There's something about sitting with others that makes the experience more enjoyable. For example, it was much more fun watching Bridesmaids at the theater and hearing other people laughing along with me. Not only is the process of making the tv, movie or even a play much more of a group process than writing a book, so is the viewing of it. You can watch any of them alone, but they aren't designed to be that 'consumed' that way.
With music, it's great to listen alone in your car, jamming out with the radio on a beautiful summer day, but it's even more fun to listen at a concert. There's that energy at a concert that adds to the fun as you sing along with all the other concert goers. It's not for nothing that a party doesn't start until the music begins playing. Am I right?
With reading though, it's just the reader and the story. There are exceptions, but the majority of the time, it's one person with one book. It's like a direct transfer of the story from the author's mind to the reader's imagination. The words carry it there, but there's nothing else. No fancy graphics. No special effects. Just words on paper or virtual paper.
How cool is it that one person can create a story in their imagination and find the right words to bring it to life so that another person can read it and be entertained? In the case of a novel, that entertainment cast last hours--usually a minimum of three to four, depending on the length of the book. I mean, that's kind of crazy when you think about it.
The goal of all authors is to create a story out of thin air which will keep an individual reading to find out what happens. We don't write to entertain crowds. Nope. Just one person at a time. If we're lucky, we get to repeat that performance thousands of times, but at it's basic, it's one story and one reader.

Writing for One
Posted by MP McDonald at 5:18 PM
1 comment:
So very true :) I guess for me, I write for myself first - if it makes me cry/scream/gasp/heart pound etc when I read through it, then I'm on the right track. But there is something quite remarkable to create something that does the same to others. It feels like the ultimate challenge in some ways, and you know you'll never please everyone *lol*ReplyDelete
I loved your first book for doing all that to me (have got the second book!! Just need to read it *grin*)

October 2011 | Dr. David Lai
China test-sailed its first aircraft carrier on August 10, 2011. The maiden sail was remarkably low key, but its significance is far-reaching. China's journey to this début started in the mid-1990s when it approached Ukraine for the possibility of acquiring the half-built, but practically abandoned, Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag. The keel of this hulk was laid in 1985 and the ship was intended to serve in the Soviet Pacific Fleet, however, the construction was abruptly halted with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Ukraine, home to the Soviet Union's warship industry, kept the unfinished carrier as a "divorce asset," but it had no money or need to complete the project. China eventually acquired the ship with a $20 million auction bid in 1998. At the time, this sea monster was literally an empty and rusty shell, since all of the critical equipment had been removed, including the rudder. China, however, was determined to bring it back to life. (Continue reading...)
