I work hospital security and this week, while stationed at the ER I disarmed an OCer. Well sort of. Here's my AAR.
Louisiana Open Carry Awareness League • Login
I think I handeled it a bit better than the guard in the OP.
No, I didn't wrestle MEM's pistol from him. Let me elaborate.
I was working my Security shift at Baton Rouge General Hospital at Mid-City. It was about 12:25am and I was assigned to the Security desk at the entrance to the Emergency Department. I had just gotten on shift at midnight. It was looking to be a pretty good shift. We only had 2 PEC patients and one was being transfered by Acadian ambulance to a mental health facility. The other PEC was sleeping peacefully. No assault or gunshot patients with the drama which comes with such things. Not bad for a late Saturday/early Sunday morning. Of course, we still had a couple of hours before the bars let out and people started going home. But so far so good.
The double glass doors open and in walked a black male, about 30 years old, wearing a dark t-shirt and tan shorts. I greet him, as I do everyone, and he waves and walks into the ER waiting area. Then I see it. It's tucked into his left rear pocket and clearly looks like the butt of a pistol. Sort of like this-
The gunner in me says "Is that a Berretta in that guys pocket?" The Security Officer in me answers "Yeah, dummy, it sure looks like it but he ain't supposed to have it in here. Get up and do your job."
Now there're all kinds of ways to handle something like this and every situation will, of course, be different and every Security Officer will handle things differently based on his or her experience and state of mind.
I could have made a scene or gotten all full of myself in my superduper Security Guard uniform, bashed him with my flashlight and said, "Respect Ma Authority" in classic Cartman style.
I could run outside where our extra duty BRPD Officer Derrick Williams was sitting in his Tahoe, bang on his hood and point while yelling GUN!!!.
Instead I took the cool, friendly approach which worked so well for me for all of those years while working at Hunt Correctional Center.
"Excuse me, Sir." I said in a calm and pleasant tone, "The hospital has a No Gun policy. Would you mind taking your pistol back out to your car and locking it inside?"
The look on the guys face wasn't anger. It was a bit of suprise and for a moment puzzlement.
Then his eyes widened a bit and he replied "Oh. No, I'm sorry. It's not even real. Sorry. See?" He grabs it with two fingers and pulls it from his pocket. That's when I saw the Red plastic tip on the barrel.
I took a breath. This could have been much worse. I told the guy "Well, you can understand why someone would see it and think it's real. At least you didn't panic any little old ladies sitting in the waiting room."
He answered by tossing the plastic gun into the trashcan next to me. "You don't have to throw it away." I told him. "Just take it back to your car or cover it up for me."
"No," he answered, "I took it from someone else and forgot about it. I don't want it. I'm just here to pick up my son."
I watched him leave and then I thought about the plastic gun in the can next to my desk. Hhhmmm. Might be a good topic of conversation with my fellow Security types. I mentioned it to my Supervisor and to the Extra Duty BRPD Officer. Both said it was handled well. Hey, anytime we don't have to type up an incident report is a time something's handeled well.
I took the gun home, took a couple of photos and built this post around them. By the way, the rest of the shift went smoothly. I got relieved a few minutes after 8am, clocked out and I'm now off until Tuesday night.
So I was reading about a poser getting outed on another forum and it reminded me I hadn't checked on this thread in months.
Still nothing to confirm it? No video? No report?
I am still trying to figure out how he is working as an armed body guard but the Georgia Secretary of State's licensing page only shows him as having a license for being an armed security guard that expired five years ago.
To quote Moga when I posed the same question a couple of months ago:
At least when these types of things have happened in VA, there has been press reporting, followed by corroborating posts from VCDL members who were also present (I'm thinking of the VA Beach? (or Norfolk) event 3-4 years ago where a VCDL member was arrested for OCing during a festival and the police surrounded him, threatened his wife (who was taking pictures), and booked him. In the end, I believe he won a partial settlement.
My point being...there was more than a singular internet post with fanboys supporting the original poster....there was press and (at minimum) a police report. 6 months later and no police report? What am I (we) supposed to think?? Trust...but verify.
Not doubting your knowledge since you seem to work in security, but it seems like a strange law. I am neither in security nor a criminal but it just seems like this law puts a stranglehold on you from doing your job.
SigGuy I'm with ya.....
georgiapacking.org link (thread) hasn't been updated since Jan 2nd
6 months later and no media report? no update of info?
I'd really like to know some details on this thing.
Nobody got copy of police report yet?
I would have thought something else would have come out by now
Time for a shopping spree!Quote:
You are NOT a police officer and have no right to disarm ANYBODY. As a security guard you are no more than a "private citizen" wearing a uniform.
To the OP, What an idiot, I don't get the security guys that try to be super troopers. I know ALOT of them.
I worked contracted security at a nuclear power station in South Florida. We had a lot of "SWAT" wannabes. Not all of them. We had a lot of good guards there. One could always spot the mall ninjas cause theyre the only ones that opted to wear the load bearing vests and other tactical equipment. It was issued by the company, but optional to wear and carry. Everyone else just did their jobs.
Glad they were police academy rejects. If being a security guard with a weapon went to their heads like that, theres no telling how much real 'authority' would affect them.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
All throughout July, I shared with you three comic book "easter eggs" a day. An easter egg is a joke/visual gag/in-joke that a comic book creator (typically the artist) has hidden in the pages of the comic for readers to find (just like an easter egg). They range from the not-so-obscure to the really obscure. Click here for an archive of all the easter eggs featured this month.
To start off the last day, I'm doing perhaps the most-requested easter egg suggestion this month!
A whole pile of you wrote in requesting the "Buried Alien" bit in Quasar #17. It is probably too elaborate to truly be considered an "easter egg," but hey, a whole lot of you think it is, so who am I to judge?
The gist of the issue (written by Mark Gruenwald and drawn by Mike Manley) is that one of the Elders of the Universe has come to Earth. Just like how his fellow Elder, the Champion, had come to Earth to engage the strongest heroes on Earth, so, too, has the Runner come to Earth to engage the FASTEST heroes on Earth.
The Runner has all the fastest people on Earth compete in an inter-stellar race. Makkari of the Eternals was a Quasar supporting cast member at the time, and speed was his deal. Similarly, the Squadron Supreme has recently shown up on Earth and the Whizzer was a speedster, too. They both competed in the race along with some other familiar faces (like Captain Marvel, Quicksilver, Speed Demon, Super Sabre and more!).
In any event, partway through the race (which happened in 1990) a certain familiar fellow appeared in a flash…
And we are later introduced to him….
Very cute.
Gruenwald actually brought the character back near the end of his Quasar run. It was not as cute.
I'll finish off the month with two notable artists from the world of easter eggs.
First off, based on a suggestion from Darren R., here is a cute Looney Tunes-inspired bit by John Byrne.
Here, from a Looney Tunes cartoon, we have a cat shouting "Not Happy Birthday! Not Happy Birthday!" as Happy Birthday is a punishment involving lighting a series of sticks of dynamite in a birthday cake.
In Man of Steel #3, the villain Magpie does a variation of the same routine (with the same pleases of "Not Happy Birthday!")…
Clever reference by Byrne.
Thanks to Darren R. for the e-mailed suggestion!
And we end with Jim Aparo, who I just featured in this week's Comic Book Legends Revealed in connection with the little hidden hints he would put in Brave and the Bold to show you who was going to be the guest-star in the following issue.
Here, in Aquaman #50, when Aquaman is getting telepathy feedback, a bunch of familiar names pop up…
Nicely turned by the masterful Aparo!
Okay, folks, that's all for the month! I hope you had fun!
I've enjoyed the month of Easter Eggs. You've featured several from Quasar, a comic that I always dismissed as terrible because it stars, well, Quasar. You've peaked my interest, though. Is there any run of the title that's worth hunting for in back issue bins?
The Quasar run is pretty good from the beginning of the series until around issue 30 at least.
That Aquaman one just reminded me of the bit in Swamp Thing where he grows out of the plants with "Veetch" "Bisstt" and "Totlbn" type sound effects. (It's okay to mention this now you're done, right?)
Quasar #17 was one of the first comics I bought and I loved it, in spite of the fact that I didn't understand the Barry Allen allusions. I didn't appreciate that until later.
@Funkmasterdre: I recently re-read the entire Quasar run, and agree with Steve for the most part. I'd put the drop-off at about the point that Capullo left for good (#40 or so). Speaking of Capullo, he did some gorgeous early work on that book. A personal fave has always been #31, where Quasar visits the New Universe and D.P.7 (a book Gruenwald also wrote).
I'm a bit biased toward the late, great Mark Gruenwald but I still say that for the price you'd get them the whole Quasar series is a fun read. It's interesting to see what someone can do with a character when that character doesn't have a lot of back story and isn't that important to the Marvel mythos. Keep in mind, though, that Quasar has become popular enough that he was brought back by fan demand after his death in the first Annihilation series.
Greg Capullo got his start on Quasar and was responsible for me being a fan of the character to this day…
On the plus side, Buried Alien's follow-up appearance had him stopping the Energizer Bunny from cheating in another race…
OK, yeah, the first one was A LOT better!
Whoah, I remember that bit with Magpie from when I was a kid! I think it may have been the first DC comic I ever read but for some reason I thought it was a Batman comic?
I suppose Batman could have been in it too. I seem to remember something at the beginning where he is threatening a criminal who says "you won't kill me" to him and Bats replies with something like "no, but I'll hurt you and you'll stay hurt for a long time".
I think this was the moment I realised the Batman in the comics was a lot different from the Batman of the 60's TV show I used to watch on Saturday mornings!
Just checked on mycomicshop.com and yeah it does feature Batman. Should have done that before I posted, d'oh! Ah well, at least it proves my memory is still alright!
I found Quasar #17 a few months back at a Half Price Books, and bought it for that very moment. My theory is that since this race was being conducted, the Speed Force decided to give Barry a brief break from being confined, on the condition he not remember himself the entire time.
interesting picking the buried alien to end the colum plus love the mention of the old looney tune not happy birthday bit in superman.
im sad to read that this blog series is ending, it was so much fun.
Awww…I've been look forward to these each day! Don't end it now…please keep it going until you run out of good suggestions!
But… but… but… my suggestions were freaktastically awesome. And not included.
Comics Should Be Good constantly reduces me to feeling like I did as an 8 year-old when I didn't get called up for a school prize.
I think this has been the best of the "Month of" series. If you have to repeat anything, this should be it.
Mark Gruenwald. The industry miss guys like him. Instead, we have Tom Brevoort. Sigh…
It's weird that with "Buried Alien" we sort of have a DC character become a recurring character in a Marvel book. Is there any way that story, set in 1990 as it was, can be considered a secret part of Barry's life while he was though to be dead? How did he come back to life, anyway? I'm trying to remember if he was actually resurrected another time before it happened most recently after Blackest Night.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Easter Eggs this month. Here's hoping you do this on a regular basis! It was fun.
The four-part Journey Into Mystery bit from Quasar #14-17 is worth finding, if only for the cleverness of the idea — the Stranger has been kidnapping oddities form Earth, and every single one of them is an obscure hero/villain who made one or two appearances then disappeared. Grunwald managed to make all of them cameos, instead of relying on "Hey, it's the BiBeast! He sucked!" references.
I alos want to raise my glass to this entire month.
If you had to find a current DC or Marvel comic book editor most like Mark Gruenwald, it would probably be Mike Carlin, his former assistant.
If you had to find a second current DC or Marvel comic book editor most like Mark Gruenwald, it would probably be Ralph Macchio, his former writing partner.
But if you had to find a third current DC or Marvel comic book editor most like Mark Gruenwald, it would easily be Tom Brevoort.
The notion of taking a shot at Tom Brevoort in honor of Mark Gruenwald is absurd.
Well thanks to Gruenwald we all know where Barry Allen was before Final Crisis.
I agree that this has been the best theme-month so far. I really, really enjoyed it – thanks.
Mark Gruenwald could honor a competition´s character and make it into a nice Marvel story. You showed it twice, Brian.
Tom Brevoort? http://www.bleedingcool.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-34491.html
"Brevoort told his twitter followers, (http://twitter.com/tombrevoort) that a recent book from a competitor was so bad he used it as an example of what not to do in a Marvel meeting".
What a class act. Mark would never do it.
Mark Gruenwald used to get grief for doing the same exact thing Tom Brevoort does today. Gruenwald spoke his mind openly and honestly in his Mark's Remarks column about the comic book industry, including discussing what he felt about DC Comics, and people gave him crap for his comments then just as they give Brevoort crap now.
None of it is deserved. Brevoort today gives us what Gruenwald gave us in his Mark's Remarks column – an open invitation to the behind-the-scenes goings on of the comic book industry. Granted, due to social media advances, Brevoort's views come more frequently and more unfiltered, but they are the same kind of discussions and the same approach.
Brevoort's Marvel blog, for instance, is essentially a modern-day Mark's Remarks.
So if you want to bitch about Brevoort saying something you don't like, go ahead, but don't use the specter of Mark Gruenwald to do it.
Brian's right. Mark Gruenwald used to take shots at DC all the time.
Just one example I can remember off the top of my head, although there were more, was when he would say that Marvel would never need a Crisis like DC because unlike DC they got their heroes right the first time.
Not just that, but taking shots at DC is a tradition that goes back all the way to the Merry Marvel Bullpen of the Stan Lee days. I find it weird how people today seem to forget that when they act like Quesada and Breevort are acting so differently than the Marvel of yesteryear in that regard.
July's not over! It still feels like it outside. More Easter Eggs! Please?
*sigh* Just makes me crave to find my Quasar collection along with the original Squadron Supreme and read through them…..
Side Note: I always felt it was a shame that DC vs Marvel came out after Gruenwald passed. He would have had serious fun with the free license and the mismatching of concepts….
Thx for these articles Brian…
He edited DC vs Marvel and Amalgam with Mike Carlin. He died a few months after it all came out.
It's a little late now but Quasar 1-25 is great. It's proto Kyle Raynor. What if a GL didn't have killer instinct/fearlessnses.
One of my favorite moments of Quasar as a kid was issue 23 i think. In it deathurge was whipping him and was making Quasar count the whips. Quasar kept repeatin one over and over and prove he was more than a guy with magical braclets. By the end of the issue he "died" and Ghost Rider sense innocent blood and guest stared the next issue. It was one of those times no one saw it coming but it made so much sense to have GR come and save the day.
@funkmasterdre have to agree with everyone here. The first 30 or so issues of Quasar are just pure fun, even the weird depressing ones where … well, you'll have to read it yourself. And Capullo's art was great. His early work was kind of like a looser, leaner JR Jr.
@JayPhonomancer Not only was Batman featured in that Man of Steel issue, but you might also be recalling Magpie showed up in the actual BATMAN series around the same time.
I always thought that "Buried Alien" was both a tribute to the Flash, and a little bit of a dig at DC for killing off a character just because they didn't know what to do with him and needed an "event death". Not an angry or snide dig, because it came from an affection for the character. Maybe not even a dig at all. A cheeky nod and wink? A knowing salute? A fictional Heimlich maneuver in another continuity?
Given how much of Quasar was him using abandoned stuff from the Marvel Universe, Gruenwald seemed like someone who just loved the wonder, science, and ideas of comics, and bought all those to his own work.
Quasar was a love letter to the type of comics that had "flash facts", and explanations about the structure of the solar system.
If we have to discuss Gruenwalds spiritual successors, I'd actually put Grant Morrison right up there as a writer who loves the weirdness and wonder and science of comics, and I'd also cite Warren Ellis on Planetary as one of the closest books to the spirit of Quasar.

All Rise...
Judge Erich Asperschlager is an American folk standard.
The Charge
"This train is bound for glory."
Opening Statement
In the Spring of 2011, sympatico folk-rock and old-time musical acts Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros boarded a vintage train in Oakland California and set off across the country on the six-city "Railroad Revival Tour." They brought along documentary filmmaker Emmett Malloy, whose credits include the surfing film Thicker Than Water and the White Stripes' tour movie Under Great Northern Lights. For eight full days, Malloy and his crew filmed the bands on-stage, on the train, and everywhere in between, capturing a wealth of music and gorgeous landscapes for the engaging documentary Big Easy Express, now available on Blu-ray.
Facts of the Case
Big Easy Express is a musical journey across America with musicians who share a sensibility rather than a nationality. British natives Mumford & Sons, Nashville's Old Crow Medicine Show, and California-based Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros play through a collection of standards and hits including "Sigh No More," "Wagon Wheel," and "Home."
The Evidence
Although Big Easy Express clocks in at a mere 67 minutes, it is a packed hour-and-change. The combined 20-some musicians play nonstop—an honest reflection of the party atmosphere on board the train, where the end of the night's show meant the beginning of a jam session that lasted until sunrise. As Malloy explains in the included interview, his cameramen would have to take turns filming the musicians through the night because they kept falling asleep at the camera.
The film celebrates folk music and the American landscape without fetishizing either. The occasional voice-over narration is poetic, but not pretentious. Even when Edward Sharpe frontman Alex Ebert says "we're playing music…with the country…to see it the way they saw it…when we were all children," there is no pretense, only poetry. These musicians can't help but play together, with whatever instruments are at hand.
Big Easy Express combines concert footage with interviews, group jams, and breathtaking American scenery. Add in the occasional switch to grainy black & white footage, and it feels like Rattle and Hum updated for modern audiences. There's even a scene where Mumford & Sons play "The Cave" with the Austin High School marching band. It's not quite "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" sung by a gospel choir, but it sure is fun. The film builds to an epic full group jam in New Orleans on the Woody Guthrie classic "This Train is Bound for Glory."
This is a music documentary in the purest sense. We don't learn anything about the individual musicians, except how much they love to play music. Lots of music. It helps to be fans of these bands, but it's not necessary. Before Big Easy Express, I was only familiar with Mumford & Sons. Now, I'm clamoring for more from all of the bands. They're that good.
On Blu-ray, the Big Easy Express sports a 1.78:1 1080p transfer that captures the film in all its glory and limitations. Malloy appears to have employed a catch-as-catch-can style. Some of the footage looks incredibly sharp and gorgeous. Other scenes look good with minor grain. Still other sequences are incredibly noisy, especially those shot at night, or filmed in black and white. It all works from a road movie perspective, but it's hard to justify the decision to go hi-def based purely on visuals. For that justification, look to the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. While the mix is light on surround effects, the lossless audio track sounds fantastic, especially considering that all the music is recorded live, and much of it is improvised. The audio also comes in a lossless 2.0 PCM Stereo track that's just as good.
The Big Easy Express isn't a long film, but it's still impressive that the bonus features add fifty percent to the runtime. Although it's a short list, the extras include almost half an hour of deleted scenes, made up of seven additional songs: "A Million Years" performed solo by Alex Ebert; "Hard to Tell," a live Old Crow performance; "Awake My Soul" played by Mumford & Sons; "Fiya Wata," performed by Jade Castrinos and part of the Magnetic Zeros; "Take 'Em Away," a group session on the train; "Child," which pairs Edward Sharpe with Marcus Mumford; and "Janglin'" by Edward Sharpe and a young audience member. The disc also includes a five-minute interview with Emmett Malloy backstage at the movie premiere in Texas, and a gallery of 18 photographs from Malloy's collection. Finally, although it doesn't technically count as an extra, the menu also includes the ability to jump to any song in the film.
Closing Statement
Big Easy Express isn't going to appeal to everyone, but the documentary more than makes up for its niche status by being so darn much fun. Even if you aren't the biggest fan of the bands here, it's worth checking out if you're a fan of music in general. Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Old Crow Medicine Show are infectious, and Emmett Mallory captures every glorious note.

CAPITOL HILL (AP) - The House has passed a bill that would authorize the Justice Department to pursue energy antitrust and price fixing cases against members of the OPEC oil cartel.
Critics say such attempts will likely be fruitless and could prompt a backlash from oil producers.
The bill, approved 324-84 on Tuesday, also would create a special Justice Department task force to investigate energy markets in an attempt to root out manipulation and unwarranted speculation.
Similar measures are part of a package of Democratic energy proposals being considered in the Senate.
The House passed a similar bill targeting OPEC last year and the Senate embraced it, only to see the provision subsequently taken out of the legislation. The bill passed Tuesday would remove a specific prohibition now against pursuing antitrust actions against a sovereign country.

This is my finished cover art design (with white vinyl) for the new full length LP titled "Changes with the Midwest Moon" released by the band Chester Bay.
Concept: I decided on a Polygonal Cubism style approach, using the ever changing shapes to visually emulate the eclectic range of sounds and influences reflected in the music. Being the band is originated out of Minnesota, The imagery is portraying a Northern Midwest night sky scene, deriving from the album's title, with dynamic shapes and colors to create a "Changing" aesthetic.
Thanks for checking it out. More to come!

Asian Markets Fall as Optimism Over Europe Fades
HONG KONG—Tokyo stocks ended lower Tuesday as weakness in the yen couldn't overcome overall negative sentiment about the sovereign-debt crisis in Europe.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average shed 1% to 8536.72, following Monday's 2.0% gain, as investor optimism across Asia waned over the Spanish bank bailout and upcoming elections in Greece.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.7% to 1854.74, the China Shanghai Composite was down 0.7% to 2289.79 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was 0.4% lower to 18872.56. Australia's S&P ASX 200, however, edged up 0.2% to 4072.90 after being closed Monday for a holiday, and India's Sensex gained 1.2% to end at 16862.80.
Heard on the Street
A weakening yen invited some buying in Tokyo but couldn't stanch the Nikkei's fall.
The yen weakened against the dollar and the euro after International Monetary Fund Deputy Managing Director David Lipton said further easing of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy would be "advisable" if the country's economic outlook worsens sharply amid the European debt crisis and slowing global growth. The dollar climbed to 79.64 against the yen, from an intraday low of 79.14, while the euro climbed to 99.50 against the yen.
Real estate and construction companies were the biggest beneficiaries of hopes for further easing measures. Tokyo Tatemono 8804 -0.15 % rose 2.2%, Obayashi 1802 0.27 % closed up 2.5% and Taisei 1801 0.76 % closed 2.1% higher. Japan Real Estate Investment 8952 -1.12 % Corp. rose 0.6%.
However, growth-sensitive stocks ended lower amid the risk-averse sentiment. Trading firm Mitsubishi slid 1.7%, Hitachi Construction Machinery 6305 -1.52 % fell 1.1% and Nomura Holdings NMR 2.52 % dropped 2.2%.
Chinese stocks were also down, both in Hong Kong and mainland China, despite news that new loans were up in May. Banks issued a better-than-expected ¥793.2 billion ($124 billion) in new loans last month, compared with ¥681.8 billion in April, a potential sign that Beijing's policy easing had an effect.
Steelmakers led losses because of growing concerns over the demand outlook for industrial metals after Baoshan Iron & Steel said Monday it will lower its key steel product prices for July, said analysts. Baoshan Iron & Steel lost 3.3% and Hebei Iron & Steel fell 2.0%.
Spain's agreement to accept European aid to recapitalize its banks was a "tactical engagement in a very long war," said Michael Kurtz, head of global equity strategy at Nomura in Hong Kong. "I don't believe that there is one make-or-break moment, but the Greek election is going to be very important."
In Hong Kong, blue-chip conglomerate Wharf 0004 -1.02 % fell 2.7%, as investors continued to question the rationale for its investment in the financially strapped mainland developer Greentown. 3900 0.00 %
But the fear pervading Asia was whether all parties can agree on the terms of the Spanish bank bailout. Fears remained fresh as ratings agency Fitch downgraded two local banks, Banco Santander and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria. Other events providing uncertainty include the Greek election next weekend, followed by meetings of the G-20 leaders and the Federal Open Market Committee next week.
Stocks in India bucked the trend in the rest of Asia after a reading on the Indian economy boosted investor hopes that the central bank would cut its lending rate at Monday's policy meeting. India's factory output rose just 0.1% in April from a year earlier, far short of the 1% growth estimated in a Dow Jones Newswires poll of 15 economists.
As many as 25 of the Sensex's 30 constituent stocks ended higher. Maruti suzuki India was the top gainer, rising 3.5%, as the auto maker announced a plan to merge with an engine- and transmission-making venture it owns jointly with parent Suzuki Motor. HDFC Bank HDB 0.33 % ended 1.9% higher, while ICICI Bank rose 1.6%.
In Australia, Qantas Airways QAN 2.93 % gained 10.8%, breaking a three-day fall, after announcing that it appointed Macquarie Group MQA 1.39 % as an advisor against potential takeover bids. Shares in the airline have fallen to record lows after it disclosed that its pretax underlying profit for the full year would fall by up to 91%.

Bieber Grabbing Boobies!
Posted January 29th, 2013 @ 7:41am
In the past few weeks, Justin Bieber allegedly…harassed a woman at the gym, smoked a crazy amount of weed, and cheated on Selena Gomez! Now he's grabbing a young Belieber's boob at a fan event in Miami? The circumstances leading up to this shot remain unclear, but some claim the Belieber asked to be groped, and Bieber obliged. Others say Bieber was aiming for a hug and missed. A third theory suggests that this photo is a fake, though being posted on Bieber's official fan page likely rules that out. Then again, we've been duped by Justin before ala the "stolen laptop at the Tacoma Dome." What do you think?

April 9, 2007 -- Early research suggests a possible link between restless legs syndrome and heart disease.
Periodic leg movement during sleep, which is a characteristic of restless legs syndrome (RLS), led to increased blood pressure among patients participating in a newly reported study from the University of Montreal.
Blood pressure increases were greatest among older patients with RLS, suggesting that these patients may be particularly vulnerable, says cardiologist Paola Lanfranchi, MD, MSc, one of the researchers in the study.
Lanfranchi says the blood pressure elevations recorded during the sleep study were similar to those seen in patients with moderate sleep apnea, which is a known risk factor for heart disease.
"We are learning more and more about the important role of sleep disturbances in heart disease," she tells WebMD. "We have seen this with other sleep disorders. This study shows that we need to look closer at restless leg."
BP Recorded During Sleep
Restless legs syndrome is considered both a neurological and sleep disorder because patients typically experience the worst symptoms when they lie down to sleep.
More than 80% of patients experience involuntary leg twitching or jerking movements during sleep that typically occur at intervals of 20 to 40 seconds.
As a result, patients may repeatedly awaken during the night and, like people with other sleep disorders, they many experience daytime fatigue, impaired memory, and concentration problems.
RLS patients have also been shown to have an increased risk for high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart disease in several previous studies, but it has not been clear if the sleep disorder contributed to the cardiovascular disease or visa versa, Lanfranchi says.
In an effort to answer this question, the University of Montreal researchers asked 10 patients with untreated RLS to spend the night in a sleep lab, where researchers monitored leg movements and blood pressure changes.
None of the patients had heart disease or hypertension, and none were taking blood pressure-lowering drugs.
Lanfranchi and colleagues found that blood pressure rates linked to sleep-related periodic leg movement rose by an average of 22 points for the systolic reading (top number of a blood pressure reading) and 11 points for the diastolic reading (bottom number of blood pressure reading).

My wife and I purchased these salad plates along with the matching dinner plates and bowls after seeing them at Cost Plus World Market. We loved the color, look and design of this set and thought they were reasonably priced. Overall, we thought we had a good deal.
We finally found the dinnerware we love (Leila; I think it must be discontinued) on the clearance shelf at our World Market, except that the salad plates that come with the set don't coordinate with the dinner plates and the bowls very well, IMO. The dinner plates and bowls have a cream color background with a nice detailed pattern of a sort of small paisley print around the edges but the salad plates are a very splashy Mediterranean flower pattern. So my husband found these Amber salad plates, and they are a great substitute! The color is a pretty good match to the background of the paisley patterned rim of the dinner plates and bowls, and since they are plain colored they are a nice coordinating plate to go with the other pieces. And, BTW, they are really sturdy so far, microwave, dishwasher, etc. Happy all around!
The plates are kind of a mustard yellow, not the sunny yellow they appeared to be online. They are heavier than I expected. I was disappointed with them. They were part of a large order of dish ware and I received many e-mails about the ordered items being in stock and/or backordered so I really had no idea when they were arriving. When the order arrived it came in several boxes and many of the items were broken. So I had to pack up all of my heavy and average looking dishes and cart them down to store to return. WHAT A PAIN! I will not order anything else that is breakable from World Market.
uses them to hang on wall behind candles . perfect color yellow more of a gold really. came quick and not broken really well packaged.
Great look....just what I was looking for. Arrived in perfect condition. Love them""

Paradise lost? No, it's under armed guard
Published: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 9:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 11:17 a.m.
My travels recently took me to San Pedro Sulla in Honduras. The purpose of the trip was to get in on the spice and herb trade. Upon arriving, one senses the painful reality that absurdity has become a way of life.
It is truly a tropical paradise as one breathes pure oxygen in the air because of the abundant vegetation at the foothills of the 4,000-plus-foot Merendon Range. Blanketing this tropical paradise one sees mango, guava, several varieties of bananas, pineapples, oranges, lemons, limes, coconuts, avocados, orchids, ferns, yucca, Tabascos, aquatic palms, orange palms. Flocks of the most vividly colored wild parrots screech in the morning.
Then the inebriation at this beauty as I have never seen before was brought to a sobering halt as I had to look at the mountains over 12-foot-high walls topped with another 3 feet of razor-barbed electric wire, with camera surveillance. Several people are forced to live in a gated community with men with machine guns and shotguns who carefully monitor who comes in and who leaves. Many also have a machinegun-armed guard standing outside their homes 24 hours a day.
Upon arriving at your home a 12-foot by 36-foot steel gate opens as you approach. Even the grocery stores and shopping malls have guards with bulletproof vests and shotguns patrolling the corridors. I have never seen so many machine guns in all of my life.
While eating breakfast in the home of a personal friend of mine who is a coffee tycoon, he points to a steel-barred plate-glass window and through it to where in the near distance are the mountains where his coffee farm is. The breathtaking, tropical-green mountains reach up and actually enter the blue sky.
What a great breakfast we had with fresh eggs gathered that morning cooked with yucca and tomatoes the air filled with the sound and aroma of homemade tortillas sizzling, and of course Honduran caviar: red bean paté.
As I was sipping my freshly squeezed orange juice, the house servant Ana was changing out my bedding and ironing my clothes for that day. Sitting by a tropical pool after breakfast with about 30 varieties of fruit trees, looking upon the mountains, breathing perfect air, my soul was reinvigorated and my senses heightened as this overwhelming thought possessed my thinking: Paradise may be lost, but for some, it has been FOUND!

text: Posted March 3, 2011 I've got the lager kit in the carboy right now, and it is bubbling out the airlock nicely. I tried starting with my dark ale kit, but stupidly tried multi-tasking and my pot boiled over, and made a huge mess. You live, you learn. I boiled my extract and sugar for about 45 minutes per the suggestion of the book I bought, and then went with less water for the final mixture to try and get a little more kick. I was hoping for 20L, but ended up with 22L because I needed to cool it down more before pitching the yeast. I used ice. Hopefully, I didn't do anything to mess it up. Should be bottling by next weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decent hotel, a little out of town
It would be hard to fault the hotel and staff - the hotel is clean, as are the rooms; mine was a single room which was small but totally adequate.
I didn't eat in the hotel in the evenings but the breakfast was fine. The staff are very friendly. Only complaint might be that the rooms were a bit too warm on a hot day and I couldn't see a way of making this less so. Overall, every good.

Very enjoyable stay
I found everything to be first class, not least the staff who were very friendly and made our stay very pleasant.
I can offer only one (constructive) criticism. My wife is registered disabled and we were a little surprised to find only two disabled bays. They were sometimes in use and we had to park further up in the main car park. Might I suggest all the parking bays alongside the main reception, or at least two or three more, be converted to disabled bays as it is a very long walk from the car park to the reception for a disabled person. Thank you.

Visiting dundee : medical university interview
This hotel was extremely homely.
The staff made us feel very welcome. My daughter was attending an interview at dundee university for medicine and this hotel is very well placed.
The accomodTion was excellent and we even ate in the redwood suite for dinner, something I never do ( eat in hotel)
The menu was a bit limited as neither of us wanted a three course Christmas dinner but what we ordered was fresh and very good food.
I would stay again and recommend it to others travelling to visit dundee for university business.

Up until recently, my site was sending emails out correctly. I've tried disabling plugins and enabling again, this did not work. I also tried the WP email smtp, this doesn't seem to be working either (I'm not entirely sure I've set it up correctly). The oddest thing is that all emails going out from the site were working up till a couple days ago. Not entirely sure what the cause of this might be.
Does anyone have any suggestions or help?

I have not been in a hair salon in over 10 yrs. I had let my hair grow out long over the yrs. After losing 40 lbs on WW, reaching my goal weight, I decided it was time for a new hair style.
My hair stylist was JD. She did a fabulous job. I have gotten so many compliments today at work. It's easy to manage and feel like a new person.
Thank you,

Hi there,
i am new to all this, but have used WP before and never had any problems changing my image sizes within posts.
I am using SPUN as a theme which is great, but when i add content to my post, the images are all small and i cant find a way to edit them to be larger.
Is this something i should do in Photoshop before hand to make them all the same size?
I am using the site as an online portfolio so having nice big images is important.
Any help would be great,


text: My theme consists of a frontpage with excerpts including pictures (thumbnails) from the respective articles. When I opt "singlepic" (contrary to "thumbnail" or "full size") in NextGEN these pictures don't appear as a thumbnail on the front page. In the articles they are appearing. Anyone bumped into the same problem? And is there a way to solve this?

Waag Building, Amsterdam
3 Reviews
3 Reviews
Favorite thing:
The Waag building on the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam was originally a city gate. The gate was built in 1488 and is the oldest secular building in the city. It is like a castle with its ponderous towers and solid walls, and standing on the Nieuwmarkt it is right in the middle of the city.
The Waag has had several functions in the course of its turbulent history.
Since 1996, the Waag has once again been open to the public. The ground floor houses a restaurant that can seat 250 guests.
On the second floor, the Anatomy theatre has been given a new lease of life as a setting for today's virtual reality.
Favorite thing:
When somebody arrives at the Central Station, I advise him to get out and just look outside. He will feel immendiately the sentiment of joy. The first thing one must do is to rent a bicycle (left of CS) and then start entering the streets and touring. Get a map outside the CS where there is a kiosk and ask for all the necessary maps with public transport. It's very easy to wander around over there. The first important thing to impress somebody is to let him pass a bridge over a canal and let him stare around the buildings. About 7000 buildings are aged from 18th and 19th century.
Fondest memory: When the first time I left Amsterdam, I understood that I had been to a place where nobody can understand unless he is there. I actually missed a lot the Leidsplein area, where a simple walking over there can transmit you the rhythm of live in Amsterdam
Favorite thing: photograph this gorgeous looking building called the Weigh House @ St.Antoniespoort at Nieuwmarkt. Isn't it just breathtaking?!

text: Posted November 13, 2012 The "Myth" is that Cam Newton is under radically more pressure than almost all other QB's in the NFL. This is just not true, even using your statistics. I never said that Carolina's offensive line was one of the best in the NFL. Far from it. I like to stick with official NFL stats...sorry, I'm old school. That is why I used "hits"...because I believe it actually gives a very good indication of how often a QB just has to unload the football before he is sacked. You can add hits and sacks together and it still gives a very accurate representation of where Carolina stacks up. As far as the bottom 10 being "nearly indistinguishable (outside of AZ...clearly the worst in the NFL by far...and yet Kevin Kolb has better numbers than Cam Newton, but that is another story), I simply stated it because it is true. Look at the numbers. I stated that several teams had (according to your numbers) fewer pressures than Carolina. It is true. I pointed out who several of those teams were. I then pointed out several teams whose numbers are virtually identical to Carolina's. Once again it is true. More pressures, true, but VERY, VERY few more. The chart you posted is available for everyone to see. There can be no subterfuge on my part. By the rationale of the majority of the posters on this forum Cam Newton should, at least, have better numbers than Kevin Kolb, Sam Bradford and Blaine Gabbert...yet, mysteriously, he does not....I will not even get into a conversation about the fact that (according to your numbers) rookie Andrew Luck has been pressured almost exactly the same amount as Newton...it is too easy...and too painful.... .

Queenstown Lakes District Council operations general manager
Ruth Stokes said Queenstown police had supplied a formal
statement about the circumstances around the fire, which
broke out on Cecil Peak on March 9.
''As a result, QLDC is taking steps to recover the cost of
fighting the fire from those responsible.''
The group would be asked to cover the full cost of fighting
the fire: $16,000 plus GST. Of that, $13,000 was for the
helicopters used to assess the area at the time of the fire
and dampen hot spots next day.
The remaining $3000 was the cost of fire crews. Council
senior communications adviser Michele Poole said if the
council was unable to recover the cost from the group, it
could apply to the National Rural Fire Authority.
The council was unable to confirm if there was a deadline for
payment, or if there was a payment scheme available.
It is understood Queenstown police will not be prosecuting
the group.
The Otago Daily Times reported last week a group of
six English people, all aged 28 or 29, contacted Queenstown
police the day after the fire and visited the station that
night to provide statements.
One, a 29-year-old man, said the group had borrowed a boat to
travel to Cecil Peak where they intended to have a barbecue
and a few drinks.
However, shortly after they arrived, an unattended gas cooker
appeared to have started the fire, which quickly got out of
The man told police the group called 111, providing details
of the fire and its location, before leaving the area.

Diabetes insipidus as a clinical manifestation has long been a subject of interest and controversy. The latter has resulted in an accumulation of clinical and experimental data which has tended to clarify the concept of the mechanism of diabetes insipidus. A complete review of the literature of the subject of diabetes insipidus would literally inundate the reader with watery references. However, for want of space, reference to several notable surveys, presented from different points of view, will indicate the extent of the literature and serve as source material.
Staemmler,1 in 1932, in an extensive review of the subject up to that time, presented evidence indicating that isolated lesions involving the posterior and intermediate lobes of the pituitary body or the hypothalamus may lead to diabetes insipidus. Roussy and Mosinger2 and Leschke,3 in 1933, in separate reviews showed the evidence favoring the hypothalamic origin of diabetes insipidus. More

Unless the law is changed, big tax increases will be imposed on all taxpayers next year. This is the so-called fiscal cliff, and President Obama is using this unpalatable situation as an excuse to push for his class-warfare tax policy.

Texas Tech Chancellor Dr. David Smith envisions a $10 million to $20 million endowment for scholarships and endowed chairs for the Amarillo campus.
"We're excited. We're bullish about what's happening here in Amarillo," Smith said.
Smith was in Amarillo on Tuesday raising funds for various initiatives and to attend a meeting of the Chancellor's Council, a support organization made up of donors to Texas Tech.
During the meeting, Smith said Tech plans to send more students to Amarillo. To make that happen, Tech must be competitive in the area of student assistance, he said.
Smith said he also wants to see more memorializations of people from the area through named scholarships and endowed chairs.
"I want to see more recognition of individuals from this region," he said. "Those who went before us and who sustain us."
Another purpose of the meeting was to recruit new members for the Chancellor's Council, said Lea Wright, area chairwoman.
Full members of the council are donors who have given more than $500.
Among other things, council members support scholarships that allow students from Amarillo to go to Texas Tech.
One such student, Kristen Reynolds, a senior advertising and political science major and Amarillo native, addressed the meeting Tuesday night.
"The reason that I am at Texas Tech is because of you," Reynolds said. "And thank you, because you put your faith in us."
Smith said he plans several fund-raising trips to Amarillo in the future to support different initiatives.

I have a query that returns data from sql-server and I need to be able to put the results into PostgreSQL. I'm using C# for the task.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I suggest you use an MS SQL Server foreign data wrapper on PostgreSQL, so you need no C# and have the full power of PostgreSQL's SELECT… INTO.
Failing that, there is also DBI Links which gives you a subset of functionality and lower performance but still should be enough.
Now, if you just need to use C#… perhaps there is a PL/C# that you can leverage.
But, sincerely, this seems to me more to be about which syntax is allowed on C#. Perhaps you should ask in a Npgsql forum http://npgsql.projects.pgfoundry.org/?

Afghanistan on alert ahead of poll
Security forces are on alert across Afghanistan in preparation for tomorrow's parliamentary election.
The Taliban are threatening to attack anyone who takes part in the poll, but the Afghan government is promising the ballot will be safe, free and fair.
The two big issues for the election are corruption and security.
Without security, there is little hope of a large voter turnout, and without an end to corruption, there is little hope the government will get any better.
Independent candidate Dr Ramazan Bashardost says the international community has poured billions of dollars into the wrong hands in Afghanistan.
"Today in Afghanistan a minority use the America, Australian, British taxpayer for their own interests, not for Afghan people," he said.
Around 2,500 candidates will contest the election for 249 seats in the lower house of parliament. Sixty-eight seats will be reserved for women.
Across the board almost half of the contenders are running for the first time, but there are fears vote rigging and corruption will cause disruption.
The Taliban are urging Afghans to boycott the poll.
Taliban leaders say they will attack anyone who takes part, including voters, election workers and members of the security forces.
More than 1,000 polling stations have been cancelled for the parliamentary poll, because of security concerns.
Australian troops prepare
In the southern province of Uruzgan, Australian, coalition and Afghan forces are getting ready for polling day.
A protester was shot outside a coalition base yesterday, but no Australian troops were involved.
Last year's voting in the area was disrupted by rocket attacks and a suicide blast.
But Australian commander Lieutenant Colonel Mark Jennings believes there will not be any direct attacks on voting centres this time.
"I don't think we'll see attacks on the polling stations themselves," he said.
"I think we might see some on the periphery in the areas abutting them but I also think it's probably going to be more like a normal day here in Uruzgan province.
"There will be incidents. Of course, they will be tied to the election itself but I don't think we'll see a massive spike."
It is unclear just how many Afghan voters will defy the threats from the Taliban and cast their ballots.
It may take several weeks before a final election result is known.
It will take even longer to decide whether the new government will deliver higher levels of transparency, governance and much needed services to the people of Afghanistan.
