Some recent developments in labor economics and their implications for macroeconomics
AbstractThis paper reviews three recent directions of research on labor markets and the macroeconomy: models of sectoral shifts and unemployment, efficiency wage theories, and insider-outsider models of wage and employment determination. Sectoral shifts models show how permanent intersectoral shifts in labor demand and the slow process of labor reallocation across sectors may play an important role in explaining aggregate fluctuations. Efficiency wage and insider-outsider models have in common the property that, in equilibrium, firms may pay wages in excess of market clearing. These models provide potential explanations for persistent "involuntary" unemployment and segmented labor markets. Copyright 1988 by Ohio State University Press.

Jessica Simpson Is So Cuntry
July 14, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K
This is the video for Jessica Simpson's extremely annoying cuntry single "Come On Over." Yeah, I'll come on over to slap the shit out of that big-tittied frog. At the beginning of the video, I kept waiting for the words "Meet Singles In Your Area Tonight" to pop up on the screen.
The rest of the video is pretty cliche. Jessica in a pick-up truck. Jessica sitting on the porch. She forgot the cowboy hat and line dancing.
This song seriously make my ears cry. That could be a good thing actually. Cleans out the wax!

Insiders on a Buying Binge
Saul is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It was Peter Lynch who said something like "There are lots of reasons why insiders sell, but only one reason why they buy: They believe the price will go up."
Consider the little technology company Acorn Energy (NASDAQ: ACFN).
Out of the last 29 or so insider trades, dating back to June 2010, an amazing 28 have been purchases at market!!
The only sale was 20,000 shares by the CEO of an acquired company. The most recent purchases were in May and June of this year. I counted nine or ten people buying shares, mostly directors, but also the CEO and President, and the VP, General Counsel and Secretary, and his successor as well. Here are the details of the transactions.
I get the impression that these guys are selling their furniture to raise money so they can go out and buy a few thousand more shares. It's like every time they get some money together they go buy four or five thousand more.
Think of it! Look around at other technology companies: For example, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD), which has been in the news a lot recently. Its last 25 insider trades have all been sales. Not a single insider buy. A list of Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) last 23 insider trades shows 22 insider sales for 92,162 shares, and a single insider buy of 165 shares by a director. Insider sales thus made up more than 99.8% of the dollar amount of the insider trades for Amazon. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has over one hundred (!) insider sales going back just to February of this year, and multiple hundreds of insider sales going back two years. Not a single insider buy. NOT ONE!
Now this is normal for technology companies and I have no problem with what they are doing. However it highlights how strange it is to have a technology company like Acorn where everyone is buying. I certainly don't know any other companies like that.
You have to wonder "Why are they buying?" Well, in the March quarter conference call, they said that by 2014 their revenues would be five to ten times as large as in 2011, and they sounded like they thought they were being way conservative. In fact they were pretty euphoric.
Okay, what does Acorn do? They are actually a publicly traded venture capital company. They buy small technology start-up companies (four or five in their stable at present) in the areas of energy and energy security. Acorn restricts itself to technologies that are on the cusp. That is, technologies that have already been, or are about to be, proven in the market. These are technologies that address large markets, and that are not capital intensive.
They seem to be breaking through in the past six months on at least two of these companies. The most promising seems to be their subsidiary called USSI, which has developed a fiber-optic sensor system for use in oil and gas reservoir management, pipeline monitoring and perimeter security. An oil and gas producer can use USSI's systems to monitor the flow of its reservoirs, improve the management of its production, and increase its extractable reserves.
USSI's sensor is very low-cost and has far, far, greater sensitivity than legacy products. So if it tests out to be effective and to be reliable it's a no-brainer for the producers. Well, after months of testing by producers, Acorn is starting to announce large commercial orders, and the company says they have plenty more producers currently evaluating the system in addition to those who have placed initial orders. And they expect those who have placed initial orders to continue to place many more.
The potential market is huge for a little company like this, and Acorn has been investing more money to ramp up production to keep up with orders and expected orders.
And that's why all those insiders have been buying.
Oh, and Acorn also pays a quarterly dividend of three and a half cents.

The Islamic Finance Project
Islamic finance and investment is a young and growing field, with new areas of study and new opportunities. It is based on laws and ethics taken from Islamic law, with interesting parallels in the ethical investment industry and the corporate social responsibility movement in the West. According to the Institute of Islamic Banking and Insurance (London), the total assets of the two hundred institutions offering Islamic financial services globally stand at over US$ 200 billion, with yearly growth rates of up to 15%.
ILSP's involvement in the study of Islamic finance and banking stems from the establishment by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, in 1994, of the Harvard Islamic Investment Study, which culminated in the publication in 1998 of Islamic Law and Finance: Religion, Risk and Return by Profs. Frank Vogel of Harvard Law School and Samuel Hayes of Harvard Business School. In the winter of 2004, ILSP returned to this research focus by adding Dr. S. Nazim Ali as Research Associate to its staff to conduct research in Islamic finance now with a focus on legal and Shari`a points of view. Nazim Ali had headed the Harvard Islamic Finance Information Program at CMES since 1996. Under ILSP auspices, he analyzes contemporary scholarship, encourages collaboration among scholars from within and without the Muslim world, and assists students and other researchers with advice and direction as to the best resources to use in the study of Islamic finance.
The first event Dr. Ali organized at ILSP was the Harvard University Sixth Forum on Islamic Finance, which took place in May 2004. Its theme was "Islamic Finance: Current Legal and Regulatory Issues." The Forum featured 30 papers and brought together over 200 scholars, practitioners, and students for dialogue on the present and future of Islamic finance and investment. A collection of selected and edited papers was published by IFP during the 2004-2005 year. The decision was then taken to hold biennial Forums, each with a separate theme and publication. In April 2006, the Harvard University Seventh Forum on Islamic Finance, with as theme "Integrating Islamic Finance in the Mainstream: Regulation, Standardization, and Transparency," was held at Harvard Law School.
Dr. Ali is also occupied with the compilation of an ongoing bibliographical databank of Islamic finance, which is expected to be of exceptional benefit to the scholarly community working in the field. In addition, Dr. Ali answers requests about research in the field and provides information on Islamic finance from different parts of the world.

1. When the voice inside your head tells you that you are weak, say no. You are not. You are not weak. Because some parts of you are made of metal and metal is malleable, which is to say, you can bend and dent, but you will never break.
2. When somebody tells you that you're a disappointment, remember that you are somebody else's hope, always. You are hope, always.
Here are tips from experts on which messages you should respond to—and which you should ignore for your own good.
Dating coach calls this random text (which can also come in the form of "sup" or "yo") the "weak attempt." Yes, the guy's thinking about you, but he's not thinking hard enough. Text back or reply if you like him, but don't bother if you're not sure about him.
"Where you at?"
If you get this message on a Friday or Saturday night, it's likely that the guy is hitting you up as a last resort.
"Can I come over?"
This is the "I'm drunk and horny" text and is typically sent after midnight on a weekend night. Don't respond unless you're equally down for a booty call.
"Want to meet up later?"
If a guy sends you this message before 8 p.m., it shows he's being proactive in his attempt to see you. But, if all he does is text you, and you want to see some more effort, tell him you prefer to talk on the phone. "This will separate the guys who want a relationship from the ones who don't," If he calls, it's a fair assumption that he's interested in something more than just a booty call.
How to know if you are in a right relationship? How to have a healthy and lasting one? Here are best quotes and advice about relationship and marriage that might help you out.
1. "A healthy relationship keeps the doors and windows wide open. Plenty of air is circulating and no one feels trapped. Relationships thrive in this environment. Keep your doors and windows open. if this person is meant to be in your life, all the open doors and windows in the world will not make them leave. Trust that truth."
2. "Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take."
3. "The secret for long relationships is not having a perfect and harmonious love affair. It is not how less often you fight, not because of the number of similarities and the stuffs you both like doing together nor the number of mistakes you did. Those things count but it is the faith that keeps you going. A relationship would last if both of you are willing not to give up, if both of you is willing to stand up and still try every time one of you or both of you fall. You should not lose hope when you are struck with problems along the way. Give each other hope and hold on as long as you can."
Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
Find a girl who reads. You'll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She's the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That's the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.
She's the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she's kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author's making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.
Buy her another cup of coffee.
Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce's Ulysses she's just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.
It's easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she's going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.
Say, it's a lazy afternoon and the best thing to do is to troll on your tumblr dashboard. But you hate your mouse or your touchpad/trackpad, using it feels like too out of reach and overly tasking (like my last relationsip). it's a lazy afternoon after all.

Buy some time and extra effort with key combo Z + C and a neat pop up post icons will appear. Kepp holding Z and press C repeatedly to highlight whichever post type you want then hit enter.

Daily Relatable Love Quotes (via thelovewhisperer)
How can you tell if a guy is into you? Are there sure signs that he likes you? Sometimes it's hard to tell if a guy really digs you. Here are a few peculiar behaviors that give him away.
No matter how cocky a guy seems, he'd rather have his chest waxed than risk being rejected by you. So instead of sticking his neck out with a straightforward come-on and giving you signs that he wants you, he might work his mojo magic in these mysterious ways.
He teases you
Rewind to grade school. Did a dude ever kick you in the shins or tug your ponytail on the playground? Well, when a boy likes a girl, he often acts like an ass to show her just how much. And unfortunately, some guys never outgrow those antics. Meet Joel, 22: "The first time I went out with Sarah, I kept making fun of her glasses," he says. "I wasn't trying to be mean. I just wanted a reaction from her." The takeaway? If a guy dishes it, he can take it. So give it to him. Give it to him good.
He brags about himself
If a man laundry-lists his finer points, it's usually a desperate ploy to win your favor—not a sign his ego requires its own zip code. Men are insecure and often go overboard in an attempt to seem desirable. A gay named Jami says, 28: "I met a cute girl at a party and immediately blurted out that I spent huge cash on a new phone," he says. "I was nervous. I wanted her to think I was successful, but I ended up sounding proud." Hot tip: Button up a braggart with a quick compliment such as "Wow, you must be doing really well." With any luck, the strategic stroke will help ease him on to a more interesting topic…like you, of course.

Guides: 302 Cloth Resilience Without Touching a Battleground
In the heart and soul of his guideblog, the Highlander teaches you, the durn fool noob, how to PvP.
Would you go to Karazhan without spell hit? Of course not. Resilience is like spell hit for battlegrounds. It helps you die slower. Don't believe me? Try defending the Stables in your Frozen Shadoweave...
A Scenario
Spotting a blood elf mage (Rival Cuteboots) and her tauren warrior companion (Beefchop) approaching the bridge, you summon your Water Elemental and prepare to lay the smack down. Beefchop is in range and you charge up a Polymorph: Turtle but then... GNOMERGOSH, COUNTERSPELLED! You try to Blink behind the barn but find yourself eating a Mortal Strike + Shatter Combo + Waterbolt + Fireblast. Right before the graveyard you notice 2 seconds left on your Counterspell debuff. Congratulations, you just died inefficiently. Rival Cuteboots watches her Squirtle evaporate and laments the wasted cooldown.
"But Highlander," you say, "it's not my fault! I don't have the gear!" It is your fault. Blizz didn't send you to Kara naked, and they're not letting you go to Warsong Gulch wearing Imbued Netherweave. You can always trade T4/T5 tokens for S1/S2 gear, respectively, but even without it an impressive amount of resilience is possible before you step foot into a battleground.
The crux of the trick is to combine set bonuses from the honor reputation battlegear for Mages, Warlocks, and Shadow Priests.1 Add appropriate gems,2 two more PvE resilience acquisitions, and a tailored resilience set, and you become one tough little n00b.
The Gear (and its Resilience)
Reputation Gear
Evoker's Silk Handguards (17) - Sha'tari Quartermaster in Shattrath
Evoker's Silk Trousers (22) - Cenarion Expedition Quartermaster in Zangarmarsh
+35 set bonus
Satin Hood (19) - Thrallmar/Honor Hold Quartermaster in Hellfire Peninsula
+4 socket bonus
Satin Robe (15) - Cenarion Expedition Quartermaster in Zangarmarsh
+16 2xMystic Dawnstone
+4 socket bonus
Evoker's Mantle (17) - Sha'tari Quartermaster in Shattrath
+8 1xMystic Dawnstone
+3 socket bonus
+35 set bonus
Crafted Gear
Unyielding Girdle (20) - crafted with 8xPrimal Mooncloth, 18xPrimal Earth, 1xPrimal Nether
+4 1xSteady Talasite
+8 1xMystic Dawnstone
Unyielding Bracers (12) - crafted with 4xImbued Netherweave, 8xPrimal Earth
+8 1xMystic Dawnstone
+20 set bonus
Vendor Gear
Cloak of Subjugated Power (23) - 60 Badges from G'eras in Shattrath
Seal of the Exorcist (12) - 50 Spirit Shards from Spirit Sage Zran/Gartok in Terokkar Forest
A Scenario, Revisited
Beefchop and Rival Cuteboots just nuked your face off. Noticing you have 100 hit points remaining, you cast Ice Block and type, "/bg Inc 2 ST mage warrior goin2die soon," and start spamming your health stone, hoping to catch some health when Ice Block wears off. You do, cast Arcane Explosion at the flag capping Beefchop, Blink behind the barn, run around it, Ice Lance Beefchop to interrupt another cap, and are killed just in time to see four Alliance riding to help defend the (still-uncapped) flag. You win.
1. You can min/max these sets however you like. I chose the highest resilience pieces when accounting for socket bonuses.
2. Sadly, the only +resilience gems appropriate to your red sockets (orange ones) are epic, and cost more than our newbie selves care to spend on an experiment. You could ignore socket bonuses and spam Mystic Dawnstone, but I don't have the heart to make you.

Being such a PvP nerd and raiding fanatic, I've rather avoided resiliance than looked for it. For PvE I've been taught it's useless.
Maybe that's one of the explanations to why PvP never caught my heart.
Making a PvP set to switch to - including resiliance... yeah maybe that should be a future project. I wonder how much difference it will make to the experience.

For battlegrounds, resilience is oh so worth it! And you're right, for PvE it's meh. In fact I believe resilience was invented primarily as a way to bring PvP rewards to epic item levels while still being useless (or suboptimal) for PvE.
As far as projects go, I would regard this guide as a stepping stone to season 2 gear. For PvP kicks you can really be passionate about, making a really cool twink a la Gnomeageddon's guides is probably the most fun for your effort.

Hey Sonny,
at this late stage of TBC, I am not going to go throwing too much time and energy at getting my pvp set together.. but I have a head start on some things, and of course others just cost petty cash.
Head - Satin Hood (bound to beat my spellstrike hood)
Neck - Vindicator's Pendant of Subjugation - already got.
Shoulders - Merciless Gladiator's Silk Amice - should do the job
Back - even if I had 60 badges (which I am not going to get this side of India), I doubt I would spend them on this... alternatives?
Chest - Satin Robe (beats Spellfire Robe).
Wrists - Veteran's Silk Cuffs should do the job.
Hands - Gladiator's Silk Handguards should do.
Waist - Mmm not spending that kind of dosh.. alternatives?
Legs - Evoker's Silk Trousers.. ok ok, spellfire & spellstrike stay in bank for PvP. ;-)
Rings - Seal of the Exorcist... mmmm nope, not going back into those instances for the shards (or anything else for that matter). Probably DE'd everything else of value... but any suggestions?
Trinkets - Got Medallion of the Alliance & Stormpike Insignia Rank 6. They will do for now.
Weapon - Merciless Gladiator's Spellblade - will do, but no offhand?
Nice guide BTW!

Nice guide, but I think you overlooked something =D
Evokers is Mage only. Satin and Mooncloth are Priest only. =( Mix and match for the 35 resil bonus 2p bonus would be nice, but I'm not sure if it's possible =(
Thanks for doing the research though!

I'll check that as soon as I'm at my computer tonight. This was an exercise in theory, so it could be wrong.
I'll suggest what answers I can when I have the computer to make links with.
I love this blogging action so much that I'll be spending precious screen time away from the World of Warcraft!

Hey there! This is possibly the first of a three part semi-serious series depicting the story of DooM.
This was my first ever flash movie and im pretty proud of it.
Please recommend for doom collection
Once the marines land on Phobos to investigate, one is left to guard the perimeter, he soon finds out that he is the only survivor... and must fight to get out...
(This may only make sense if you've played the game)

it was ok but for some reason i expected this to be about the books with corporal flynn. anywho the animation was ok a bit of work is needed but i think you knwo that already. you also need to work on your music transitions. u have the doom theme playign heavily and then silence. however as this is ur first flash most fo these mistalkes are to be expected and again as this is ur first flash id say you definatly have somehting to be proud of. you have a nice coupel of bits of humor such as the humming when he gets the keycard. anywho i hope this review helped and i hope the next oen is just as good.

Very good job. The voice sounded a little muffled but it's a minor grievance. Most important thing; ability to pause!
hmm... right click - unclick play does that doesn't it?
and i know the voicing was no good.
thanks :]

Tall Tales- the unit study
A little overdue, but as promised, here is the rest of the Tall Tales Unit Study. The art lesson was in this post. Today I will cover Geography,History, Science, Math, and Language Arts.
Geography- Learn about all the places Paul and Babe went. Maine, Minnesota, Oregon. Or the places he made according to the legend: the Rocky Mountains, Appalachians and the Mississippi River. (For an add-on to spelling, learn how to spell all these places and learn the Mi-double-s-i-double-s-i-double-p-i spelling trick.)
History- Part of why Paul did what he did as a logger was to make way for the Westward Expansion of the United States. Settlers headed west to become pioneers. Some real life stories to learn about, that center on this topic are Louis and Clark and the Oregon Trail.
Science- As I mentioned, Paul Bunyan was a logger. What a great way to tie in to the study of environmental preservation and the global effects of deforestation.
For math- I challenge you to incorporate the art lesson. Use ratios to make a life size version of your art project in a driveway or park with chalk. Start by making a square grid of you first project with one inch squares. Go outside and measure the same grid but this time use one foot squares. Copy the lines from each box on the small project into the larger one. This is the same method muralists use to make large scale art projects on the sides of buildings.
When you are done answer these questions:
1. How tall was Paul Bunyan on paper?
2. How tall was he outside?
3. How about Babe?
Finally, for language arts, there are lots of tall tales told by many different authors and illustrators. I have some listed below in my recommended books.
After reading a few, write your own tall tale to explain some part of historical or scientific occurrence. Be sure to include larger than life characters in unbelievable circumstances. When you are done, be sure to write your tall tale on very tall paper!

This is a great example of what itâs like to be a firewall admin. Ah, the memories. People seem to think that a firewall is smart. I mean, itâs a "security" device right? So, if it sees something "bad" it will just block it, right? No, firewalls are in fact stupid. They just do what you tell them to do, nothing more, and nothing less. If you tell them to allow everything, they will do just that and open the floodgates. Itâs important that you, the human, put some context around each rule and be the intelligence. Firewalls are a tool, kind of like a hammer. Swing it at a window will break the window. Hit the nails the right way and you can build a house.
But still, at its core it is still a tool that is designed to allow traffic through. I was once talking with Marcus Ranum and he said the firewall was a beautiful thing before everyone shot a hole into it, right through port 80.
There are a few things that you want to consider when implementing and auditing a firewall. First, it is possible to have "rules" in it that are not displayed in the ruleset. For example, please check out ioscat and iosmap. Next, take a look at Implied Rulesets on Checkpoint firewalls.
The point is: yes, they are dumb, and yes, they do exactly what you tell them to.
Except when they donât.
In God we trust⦠âtil he builds a firewall, we'll audit all others.

Hellas Verona 2-1 Palermo
A defensive blunder by Palermo handed Hellas Verona victory on Monday night at the Marc' Antonio Bentegodi stadium.
An own goal from Eros Pisano 13 minutes from time gave the hosts a 2-1 triumph - their first victory of the season.
Franco Vazquez had put the Sicilian outfit ahead in the 18th minute before former Palermo striker Luca Toni equalised from the penalty spot before half-time.
With Palermo looking more dangerous, a misunderstanding between defender Pisano and goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino...

Worcester Warriors claimed a first victory of the season with a 21-16 success at Cardiff Blues thanks to a second-half rearguard action.
The Warriors had two early chances to edge ahead , fly-half Ignacio Mieres striking a post from distance and former Ospreys hooker Ed Shervington went within a foot of the line following a driving lineout only to be penalised for a double movement.
Blues pivot Gareth Davies then kicked two penalties in quick succession.
But Worcester struck back, flanker Jake Abbott breaking some flimsy tackling and handing on to burly prop Rob O'Donnell, who rumbled over for Mieres to convert.
The Warriors pack were establishing their supremacy, O'Donnell prominent in tight and loose, and it was another charge by the prop that allowed scrum-half and skipper Paul Hodgson to feed flying right wing James Stephenson.
The former Bedford man marked his first start for the Warriors by jinking inside and skinning the Blues defence to reach the posts and make the conversion simple for Mieres.
Limping off
Things went from bad to worse for the Blues, with Davies limping off to be replaced by debutant Simon Humberstone, before visiting centre Max Stelling raced in for a superb individual score, again improved by Mieres.
Right on half-time, the Blues were awarded a penalty which saw Worcester lock Chris Jones binned for killing the ball, but Humberstone's kick curled wide.
When he had a second opportunity in the second half, Humberstone opted to go for the corner.
He won a decent position, the Blues took the lineout, only for a knock-on seemingly to end the attack. But scrum-half Lewis Jones caught Hodgson in possession at the base of the scrum and flanker Thomas Young dashed under the posts for Humberstone to cut the deficit to eight points.
The novice fly-half followed up with a penalty and Worcester were beginning to have a few doubts.
When full-back Dan Fish found good field position, their hopes were further raised but the Blues coughed up a penalty and time was running out as the Warriors held firm.

Detroit's Tracy McGrady scored 15 points to become the 59th player in NBA history to reach 18,000 points.
Roy Hibbert matched a career high with 29 points, and Danny Granger scored 28 for the Pacers (24-29), who fell to 7-3 under interim coach Frank Vogel and saw their lead over ninth-place Charlotte shrink to one game in the Eastern Conference.
Indiana erased a 98-88 deficit with 4:45 to go and tied it 104-104 on Darren Collison's basket with 15 seconds left.
Prince missed a 13-footer at the regulation buzzer.
Ben Gordon scored the first four points of the extra session and finished with 16 points as the Pistons improved to 5-1 in overtime this season.
Prince's only miss in the first half came at the free throw line. He was 7 for 7 and scored 15 points as the Pistons shot 64.3 percent en route to a 60-55 llead.
Rodney Stuckey added 18 points and six assists for Detroit.

First one to Fall(Gets another go round)1 Reviews
He was told to kill her......but he fell in love with her instead. She was told he hate him.....but she couldn't find a reason to.
The man in the chair glared, trying to look as threatening as he could but the black eye and bloody lip wasn't helping.
"My my, Pete you like you could use some loving" The man walked over and knelt in front of Pete, whipping the blood off of his face with an alcohol wipe.
Pete flinched when the sting of the wipe hit him, making him hiss. The man laughed and stood up, tossing the now bloody wipe to the side and stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"I presume you know why you are here and who I am"
Pete glared at the man, not uttering a word.
"I am Rafael Uzuma and you are here because we expect your full cooperation on finding the man you know as Patrick Stump"
The man walked over to Pete and gripped his chin roughly "Should you decide to do otherwise" he paused to dig his nails into Pete's skin around his black eye making him whimper "you will be of no use and we will toss you"
Rafael threw Pete's head to the side roughly and walked out of the room only to come back with several objects of questionable legality. He placed them on a table next to Pete's chair and ran his hands over them.
"I will start by asking a question. Should you choose to not respond, I will pick a toy from my tray over here and…..well….you get the point don't you Pete?" Rafael chuckled
"Where is Patrick Stump?"
Pete looked up at the man with pure hatred and disgust. "I don't know"
Rafael sighed "Shame…."
He picked up a thin, sharp blade and ran it over Pete's cheek, digging deep into his flesh, blood dipping from the fresh wound.
"Where is Patrick Stump"
Pete glared up at the man, refusing to spill the whereabouts of his friend. Rafael growled, backhanding Pete, making him spit blood on the floor. Pete started to laugh.
"What's wrong, irritated you can get what you want?"
Rafael grabbed Pete by the collar and yanked him up so the chair was slightly off the ground. "Now you listen here you little shit, I will get what I want….If I have to break every bone in your fucking body"
He pushed Pete back so the chair fell on its side, Pete hitting his head. Pete watched at Rafael walked out of the room before everything went black.
Patrick sat back in the office chair, tapping on the desk in front of him. It had been 24 hours since he had heard from Pete and he was starting to get nervous. Pete always checked in after a mission. Always.
There was a knock at the door bringing Patrick out of his thoughts. "Come in"
A man with short curly brown hair walked in, his head bowed in respect.
Patrick smiled "Joe. What brings you here?"
Joe walked over to the desk, frowning "Patrick. Its Pete….I think something went wrong"
Patrick lost his smile and stood up. "So I'm not the only one with concern then"
"No. he hasn't checked in and he never misses a check point. I've called him several times and he won't pick up nor will he respond to any of my texts."
"Ok….Get Andy here and we will discuss finding him"
Joe nodded and walked out of the room, leaving Patrick biting his nails and fearing the worst for his best friend.
Pete awoke to the feeling of a bed and a cold wet feeling on his face. He opened his eyes and tried to sit up be he was tied down. He searched for any signs on life and found a young girl, about his age walking over to him with a towel in her hands. She hand long brown hair and soft blue eyes. She stood beside him and reached out to wipe blood off his face but he flinched away and hissed at her
"Who the fuck are you"
The girl froze, slightly scared. "Monica….please…hold still"
Pete looked at her, trying to judge her intentions. She saw this and smiled "Let me finish cleaning that cut…..I don't want it to get infected"
Her voice was soft and kind. Something told Pete to trust her and in his current situation, he didn't have much choice but to obey. He laid his head back down against the pillow, closing his eyes so she could clean his face. He shivered as the cold water hit his wounds.
Pete felt her move her hands away from his face and start to unbutton his black collared shirt. His eyes shot open and he growled at her, making her hold still for a short moment before returning to her task. Pete tried to pull away, not wanting her to remove any of his clothes but his restraints proved to make that difficult.
"Stop.Moving." She shot him a glare and her voice darkened, becoming suddenly commanding. It caught him off guard so he did as he was told.
"Thank you" She sighed and finished opening his shirt. His chest was covered in bruises and cuts. Most, she assumed to be inflicted by Rafael. Her hands worked quickly to clean any open wounds, making sure to place ice on the bruises while she worked. She didn't speak much, only saying small commands so she could reach a few wounds on his back.
When she was done, she removed the ice and begun to button up his shirt again.
"Are you cold?" She looked at him with soft eyes.
Pete looked up at her confused "Excuse me?"
"Are you cold?"
Pete started to say no but his body shivered, giving her the answer she wanted. She walked over and opened up a blanket, covering him with it.
"I can do nothing for the restraints, you will just have to sleep like that but this should keep you warmer. It freezes down here at night."
Pete stared back up at her, watching as she headed to the door.
The girl paused "Why what?"
"Why help me?"
The girl frowned, lowering her head, speaking in almost a whisper. "So you can handle more tomorrow"

Great Books by David Wilcock, that relate to this topic.
As David Wilcock confirms in his books The Source Field Investigations and The Synchronicity Key, thinking strong positive or negative thoughts can affect the person/s you are sending it to if they accept it.
Prayers for a loved one are never inconsequential!
Love Is All, All Are One!
A little late, but my heart is still there. Deb, your book is really going to be something, the way you and Sean have sustained your relationship will be a fantastic example that will help a lot of other people, thank you for sharing your lives, you are both awesome, every blessing.
Thanking you all for your loving healing energies sent our way....
We are going through some very interesting experiences of learning and growing through this journey. Each day lends it's light in some way. I have to be ever vigilant to be open to each day's renderings. I find myself getting caught up in the details and stressing over that. A whistle then blows in my mind to get my attention to back up, back off and regroup and settle down into acceptance once again, realizing once again - I am not in control of this ordeal. I am simply a participant and it is my responsibility to be the best I can be in this situation. So, I relent my need to control and oh how much better my life becomes then and I can simply enjoy the company of my son. It never ends, the lessons.
And, in each day, I am grateful for right where I am. I am grateful for the love. I have come to know that the purpose of this existence is to know love fully and to be fully loving.
A Merry Christmas!
A Merry Christmas to all of our loving friends! This day has brought me to yet another awakening. I'm certain I have gone through this before; however, it seems that I need to go through it again to really get it. It is called, "Allowance"!
My son has come on to times when the prosthetic company is ready to provide a leg for him. Yes, after all of this time, there is now funding.
And my son is telling me, "I am not ready, Mom." I am satisfied with where I am right now and I need to be in this moment for a while.
And I truly heard him and honor his choices. So, we will wait and just enjoy where he is now and allow him to be, just be.
I told him I totally understood and he was so grateful. So this Christmas is certainly one of thanksgiving for all we have and the beauty of our love for one another.
I am learning to listen. That to me is my greatest lesson throughout this journey. Learning to listen to the heart...
Tomorrow, I am taking all of the gifts to my son and we are having a Christmas Eve celebration...
Celebrating you all in our hearts!
For Deb
Sending love and some pixie dust your way! May all of your and Sean's wishes come true this New Year!
Much, much Love and sending all blessings you can imagine to you.
Happy New Year!
Thanks Wolfdog! We appreciate you so very much...
Deb and Sean T
Sean is experiencing gratitude for where he is right now and appreciating the sense of peace that he is feeling at this time. He is looking forward to reading my book that will soon to be published.
That is the big wahoo!!!!
Link to my book
Here is the link to my book, "We Are of Eternal Love" by Miya Lusions ( my pen name)..
Love you all,
Hi! Deb and Peg and Sean need your prayers....
This is to let you all know that Deb, Peg and Sean are in need of healing energy.
Deb fell the other day and sprained her ankle. She is having trouble getting around and is having to stay home from work. She is bruised and swollen on her ankle and has other bad bruises incurred during the fall. Pain medication has not been working for her.
Peg is caring for Deb and has pain issues of her own.... She is getting some relief from pain medication but could really use your prayers at this time.
Sean has an infection and is in the hospital again, in pain and discomfort. His infection is slow to clear up this time.
These three are our family and are so in need your love, light, and healing energy. I am asking for your prayers for their highest good. I know these have worked before and will do so again. Thank you everyone. Love, C.
Dear Deb Sean & Peg,
Sending love and light to the three of you.
Hoping you are all up and about in a healthy way soon.

great bang for the buck

About Me Professional
i am an ase master certified mechanic. i reach for these bits first. i just used them to drill out a few broken off headbolts in the block on a 2005 gmc canyon. they work great for the price.
Saved the Day
By ramkas
from Somewhere, KS
The bits saved the day. I was able to extract a broken m7 bolt out of a difficult spot. Go slow and use oil when drilling. They will be good for at least several uses and for the cost they are worth it.

broken bolt removal in general...
By cathunter
from sandiego
the first attempt is ysually these left hand drills, tyhen a "easyout" however if you breakoff the easyout in the part you got trouble. this would be the first try. next heat the area around the broken bolt try with PAITENCE TO REMOVE THE BOLT. YOU CAN SOMETIMES WELD A NUT TO THE BROKEN STUB OF THE BOLT,be careful to only weld the bolt to the nut not thenut or bolt to the part.if this fails you can take it to a machine shop and they can use a emd machine,electro mechinical discharge .to remone it. but overall be patient..

Great price for a priceless item!!!
By Moose
from Western MA
Picked up the set to try to remove a busted screw on an old sander I'm restoring. Worked like a charm! The bit dug in a bit before the broken screw started to spin, then it came right out. These things are friggin' priceless when you need them. I think I'll pick up a second set next time I'm in the store Just to have them. If you work on any older machinery (or woodwork) get them!!!

heck of a bargan for the price
By Terry
from Port Huron Michigan
I am a machine repairman for one of the large car companys. I have a lot of harbor freight tools at work in my tool boxes along with big, brand name tools. A lot of the people I work with look down their noses at Tools from places like Harbor Freight, because they think they are junk,, long time ago,, that might have been true. But big advances in metalergy over the past few decades,, ( along with all the complaints of junk quality ) have made the difference. I bought these reverse drill bits on a whim one day and tossed em in my tool box at work. I actually did not have a lot of faith in them, but up to today I did not use them. Today we had a couple of small number 10 bolts broken off in a shaft on one of our machines. We could not get them out with a punch and really could not get good access to them. Then I remembered I had those reverse drills in my tool box, I got them and they actually drilled a nice hole in the center of those small grade 8 bolts,, and we were able to get an easy out in them and remove the bolts. Of course we were hoping there would be enough drag on them with the drill bit to get them to unscrew as they were being drilled but that did not happen in this case. But the bottom line was those drills actually did a really respectable job drilling grade 8 hardness bolts. We still got guys there that still laugh at Harbor Freight tools,, but that group is getting smaller. Most of the tools are well worth the money ya spend for them.

In stock now,hurry
By Dugndeep
from Kentucky
See all my reviews
I made 3 trips to Harbor Freight just to get these drill bits and was sold out each time.Went yesterday and they only had 4 sets left so I bought 2 just to have.These will only be used for what I said above,removing broken bolts or studs and that's it.I have other drill bits for normal drilling of holes in wood or metal.I needed these about a month ago to help in the removal of a broken bolt on my roto-tiller,would have saved me alot of time and cursing(lol),now I have them so bring on the broken bolts(not really),maybe since I'm prepared now,there will be no more.
work great!
By The mad gringo
from Todos Santos BCS
Makes removing stripped out allan head set screws so easy it seems like cheating. Works well with a hand held drill.
(6 of 6 customers found this review helpful)
By motoman399
from Undisclosed
i bought these about a year ago, and have used them several times. i broke one of the smaller bits, but it was my own fault for pushing too hard.these bits are great for removing broken bolts. i would not use them as a regular drill bit, just because they are a little spendy compared to regular bits. great buy!!
They work great if you sharpen them.
By I dont have every tool yet
from Bartow, FL
When I first used the 1/4 inch bit, I did not get metal shavings, just grindings. So I made a quick trip over to my bench grinder and did a little free hand sharpening. Then I got peelings from the brake caliper bleeder screw that I was drilling out.
