British Airways' director of customer experience Troy Warfield has left the airline, it was confirmed this week.
Warfield was hired only 18 months ago as part of a rejig of the airline's marketing team.
He was responsible for all customer relations, product development and partnership activity, as well as for more than 14,000 cabin crew.
The airline said Warfield, who was on BA's executive board, will be replaced 'in due course'.
BA, which is dealing with the aftermath of a computer meltdown that left thousands of passengers stranded around the world, is also facing the threat of strike action by its cabin crew next month.
Perhaps now Troy has gone the Customer Experience will improve. I do not want a Low Cost Carrier I use British Airways as I want a Full Service Schedulled Airline! Over the last few years this is what British Airways has become, less room in the cabin, pay as you go food which no one ever asked for in the first place, Lets hope that the new person will return BA back to where it once was, it will take a long time but it will be good to see Club Europe returned to the way it used to be, 34 inches please minimum not 30 inches which used to be Charter! Also lets see more room in economy too, 30 inches is not enough room to work or relax on a flight, lets remove the extra seats which were installed & go back to at least 32 inches. I hope BA says good bye to trying to be a low cost carried to compete with Easy Jet & Ryan Air, back to scheduled & if they cost a little more so be it. As yest I have not found anyone who asked to have less room in CLub Europe or wanted to pay for their food on board in economy. A new CEO would be good too, this one does not have a clue about about full service schedulled airlines as he too comes from a low cost carrier!

These business school whizz-kids know to talk the talk, but always seem to leave just as the ooh-nasty is approaching the fan. Aren't there any decent airline execs who could do the job? Over the last 10 years, there have been far too many serious problems at BA, starting with the T5 debacle. Perhaps it's time for really senior 'management' to be replaced, as both legally & practically, they carry the responsibility.

Troy Warfield never replied to my extensive email complaint concerning almost weekly overnight delays from Larnaca to Heathrow last autumn so looks like the chickens have come home to roost as they say!

BA drops out of top 30 airlines list, crew going on strike - again and the product has not developed too well lately. Hmmm, I wonder why the head of customer experience has left the company!

In order to encourage the farmers to seek financial help from the organised sector, the Punjab government is in discussions with the Union government to cut interst rate on agriculture credit by NABARD by a minimum of 2 per cent. The state government has urged the Centre to make available the long- and short- term credit on lesser interest rate to the farmers.
While delivering a key note address at the inaugural function of two day National Conference of Agricultural and Rural Development Banks (ARDBs) in Chandigarh on Wednesday, Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Finance Minister, Punjab said that availability of crop loan on easy terms from agriculture banks was the need of the hour as the cost of inputs is going up.
The Finance Minister urged upon the centre government to lower the rate of interest for the long and short term credits to the agriculture banks through NABARD at least by 2 per cent. He said that the Agricultural Banks are forced to extend credit to the farmers at higher rates as they themselves receiving investment credit from NABARD on higher rates. He said that this is an unwelcome step for the farm sector. He reiterated that by lowering the interest rate on investment credit, not only Agricultural Banks would be able to generate more revenue on the other hand farmers could also improve their economics.
Dhindsa said that the Punjab Government in the recent meeting with the center government urged them to consider the structural reforms in the long and short term credits and also to implement the recommendations of the Vaidyanathan Task Force. He further said that the implementation of the recommendations of Vaidyanathan Task Force could play a catalytic role in ensuring the pace of rural development.
K. Sivadasan Nair, Chairman, National Fedration of State Cooperative Agriculture and Rural Development Banks from Kerala, K.K. Ravinderan, Managing Director and Vishwajeet Khanna, Principal Secretary, Cooperation and G.S. Mangat, MD, PARDB also addressed the gathering.

Whether you're in a long-term, committed relationship, or if you and your sweetie are newly dating and your love is just starting to bloom, flowers are a Valentine's Day gift that are universally beloved. Celebrity florist Eric Buterbaugh, the chief floral designer for California-based The Bouqs Co., recently offered some advice to Refinery 29 about the most appropriate flowers for every relationship. If one dozen red roses seems too extravagant for your new girlfriend or boyfriend, let Buterbaugh help you select the perfect floral arrangement to commemorate Valentine's Day. Here are his best tips:
Flowers for the casual couple. Buterbaugh explains, "For the couple that's just hanging out, calla lilies say you care, without too many indefinite implications." These stems are sweet and lighthearted, just like your budding relationship.
Flowers for the infatuated lovers. "You really like this person, but don't want to scare them away with red roses. Instead, send roses in another hue." Maybe you're newly official and you want to make a romantic gesture without being over-the-top. Roses in hues like soft pinks and peaches are a beautiful ode to your affection.
Flowers for the friend-with-benefits. If you're just enjoying a casual fling with a friend, but still want them to know you're thinking of them on Valentine's day, give them a bouquet of wild flowers, or a mix of only two or three varietals. "The mixed bouquet is fairly generic, but will keep you out of trouble in the V-Day gifts department," says Buterbaugh.
Flowers for The One. "There's no other way to say 'I love you' and mean it that with red roses. Every time," says Buterbaugh. Red roses may be the floral equivalent of lasting love, but don't forget that if your one-and-only prefers a less romanticized aesthetic, there are plenty of more subdued bouquets to find.
Remember, when in doubt, ask the florist to assist you. You'll find lots of prearranged bouquets at your local flower shop this Valentine's Day, but putting in the extra effort with a custom arrangement or cluster of the perfect flower will be all the more meaningful.
What do you think of Buterbaugh's floral tips?

text: Conservative rocker Ted Nugent on Thursday lashed out at Native Americans who protested one of his South Dakota concerts, calling them "stinkyass unclean dipsh*t protestors." Earlier this summer, Nugent had been scheduled to appear at a casino in Worley, Idaho, but the tribe canceled after learning about his history of racially inflammatory statements. "I take it as a badge of honor that such unclean vermin are upset by me and my positive energy," the rocker said late last month. "By all indicators, I don't think they actually qualify as people, but there has always been a lunatic fringe of hateful, rotten, dishonest people that hate happy, successful people." Since then, at least three more concerts have been canceled due to pressure from Native American groups and other progressives. And on Thursday, Nugent took to his Facebook page to complain about Native American protestersfrom the United Urban Warrior Society in Rapid City who showed up at his Wednesday event in Sturgis. "WE ARE ON OUR JET NOW HEADING FOR TOLEDO RIBFEST JAM AFTER AN INSANE INCREDIBLE OUT OF BODY ULTRAROCKOUT at the Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis SD!" Nugent wrote, according to Media Matters. "Simply astonishing gig! 4 stinkyass unclean dipshit protestors that admitted they hate me AND ALL WHITE PEOPLE THAT STOLE THEIR LAND BULLSHIT!!" "See, it aint me they hate, they hate all Americans that produce & live the American Dream. Simply insane!" After a commenter suggested that "Maybe the natives shoulda had better weapons," Nugent agreed, writing: "less peyote less whoopin & hollerin." http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/...americans-whites-stole-their-land-is-bullsht/

I think that I am now understanding that it's all a control thing. You just have to decide who to let control you. Do you control yourself, and be conscious of your decisions. Do you let those around you influence your choices about your health. Do you give in to that inner fat girl who tells you it's ok to sit down with a pint of ice cream and a spoon?
I've made my decison, I'm in charge around here! I think this change of having a blog and writing down my goals is really helping. I got a late start this week with the exercise, but I'm making up for it by working harder, instead of giving up on my goal.
I ran again yesterday. I want to be a runner, but I'm just not in love. I keep telling myself that there are no fat runners, so it's in my best interest to learn to love it. It's a work in progress for sure. I'm close to completing the C25K program, it has only taken me twice as long as it's supposed to! My schedule has kept me from a few of my favorite classes, but that's changing today. I'm making it a point to get back to what I enjoy, I need it for my sanity. Today will be my first day at bootcamp in about a month, wish me luck!
Business is picking up a bit too, so I've been spending more time at my sewing machine, which isn't great for the activity level, but at least the hands are busy and can't snack. So, who's in control of you today?

JOSEPH C. HOWERTON, APPELLANT,v.UNITED STATES, APPELLEE.
Appeals from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia (FEL-631--04) (Hon. Rafael Diaz, Trial Judge).
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Thompson, Associate Judge
Argued March 11, 2008
Before, THOMPSON, Associate Judge, FARRELL, Senior Judge,*fn1 and ISCOE, Associate Judge, Superior Court of the District of Columbia.*fn2
Concurring opinion by Associate Judge THOMPSON at page 18.
On May 13, 2004, a jury convicted appellant Joseph Howerton of the following charges: assault with a dangerous weapon (gun) ("ADW") (D.C. Code § 22-402 (2001)); threatening to injure a person ("felony threat") (D.C. Code § 22-1810 (2001)); carrying a pistol without a license ("CPWL") (D.C. Code § 22-4504 (a) (2001)); possession of an unregistered firearm ("UF") (D.C. Code § 7-2502.01 (2001)); unlawful possession of ammunition ("UA") (D.C. Code § 7-2506.01 (3) (2001)); unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia (D.C. Code § 48-1103 (a) (2001)); and, unlawful possession of a controlled substance (crack cocaine) with the intent to distribute it ("PWID") (D.C. Code § 48-904.01 (2008 Supp.)).*fn3 Appellant challenges his convictions on the weapons charges (CPWL, UF, and UA) on the ground that they were obtained in violation of his rights under, and on the basis of statutory provisions that he asserts were invalid under, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He challenges his CPWL conviction on the additional ground that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the charge. As to his drug convictions, appellant contends that joinder of the drug charges with the ADW and threat charges was improper. He also argues that his trial counsel's failure to challenge the joinder or to move for severance amounted to ineffective assistance of counsel, entitling him to relief. We reject appellant's arguments and affirm.
The government's evidence at trial established that at the time of the incidents that led to his arrest, appellant shared an apartment with his girlfriend, Kimberly Harrison, and the couple's then-seven-year-old child. In January 2004, appellant received a paycheck from which an amount had been deducted in payment of court-ordered child support. On January 26, 2004, appellant demanded that Harrison "call them [i.e., the court or other District of Columbia officials] and tell them you don't want [child support]." When Harrison refused, appellant held a gun to her head and told her he was going to kill her. Harrison reported the incident to police, and a warrant issued for appellant's arrest.
On January 28, 2004, police entered the apartment with keys supplied by Harrison and found appellant wearing only his boxer shorts, talking on the telephone in the doorway to the kitchen. Police arrested and handcuffed appellant and had him sit on a couch while they searched the apartment. On the kitchen table, police found what appeared to be (and was later determined to be five grams of) crack cocaine, along with implements used to cut and package the drug for sale. In the bedroom, about 18-20 feet from where appellant had been standing when police entered the apartment, police found a loaded black 9mm Glock handgun, surrounded by appellant's work identification, wallet, and various other possessions, on top of a dresser that appellant used. Harrison identified it as the same gun that appellant had pointed at her on January 26. Police officers found additional ammunition in a drawer of the same dresser.
After a jury found appellant guilty on all charges brought as a result of the incidents described above, the trial court sentenced him, on July 26, 2004, to a total term of twelve years' incarceration, followed by five years of supervised release. The sentence included three years plus a period of supervised release for ADW, one year for CPWL, one year for UF, and one year for UA, all to be served consecutively. Appellant's trial counsel filed a direct appeal.
On May 31, 2005, appellant, with new counsel, moved to vacate judgment and sentence pursuant to D.C. Code § 23-110 (2001), arguing that his trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective for failing to challenge the joinder of offenses under Super. Ct. Crim. R. 8 (a), or to move for severance under Super. Ct. Crim. R. 14. The trial court denied appellant's motion without a hearing. He appealed from that ruling, and on June 9, 2006, we ordered consolidation of the two appeals. The appeals were argued on March 11, 2008. Thereafter, we allowed supplemental briefing by the parties and by amicus Public Defender Service ("PDS") in light of the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, __ U.S. __, 128 S.Ct. 2783, 171 L.Ed. 2d 637 (2008).*fn4 That briefing was completed on October 30, 2008.
We begin with appellant's argument, which relies on the Supreme Court's opinion in Heller, that his convictions for CPWL, UF and UA were obtained in violation of the Second Amendment.*fn5
A. Standard of Review
Appellant did not raise his Second Amendment claim in the trial court. His failure to preserve the claim means that we will consider it only "under the rubric of plain-error review." Sims v. United States, No. 06-CF-137, 2008 D.C. App. LEXIS 493 (D.C. Dec. 31, 2008). This means that, to prevail, appellant must show that entry of judgment on his weapons convictions "was (1) error, (2) that is plain, (3) that affects substantial rights, and (4) that seriously affects the fairness, integrity or public ...

|Kenseth shows patience and skill coming from the back to take 3rd.
It's always a good day when Matt Kenneth wins a race or finishes in the top five or ten. But when he finishes 3rd after coming from the back all day, he started I think 16th and had two speeding penalties on pit road forcing him to the back, and still was able to eke out a 3rd place was the result of superior driving during a 500 miles race like Atlanta.
What is infuriating is the ''talking heads'' all day didn't mention him and his efforts to claw his way to the front in a steady and professional attack of patience and skill. After the last restart from a caution, Matt surged to third and only then did they say,' oh wow, here's Matt in 3rd, where did he come from?' dah!!
It's like he doesn't exist unless it is impossible to ignore him. Who are these clowns in the booth?

Intimate partner violence
Few doctors practice in recommended ways and many are uneasy when treating victims of intimate partner abuse. Doctors should offer referral to existing interventions, while better evidence is awaited, says Lorraine E Ferris
Intimate partner violence is a major public health and human rights issue. The statistics on its physical, sexual, reproductive, emotional, and financial consequences are alarming. Although men may be abused, women are overwhelmingly the victims of intimate partner violence. Shortly we will have reliable estimates of its international prevalence, determinants, and consequences when the World Health Organization reports on its multi-country study on women's health and domestic violence against women.1 However, as Taft et al remind us, intimate partner violence affects entire families, including children, making the statistics even more shocking.2 We need effective interventions to promote the necessary individual and societal changes to tackle current cases of intimate partner violence and to prevent new ones. Unfortunately, there are only a few examples of rigorous evaluations of interventions, and this paucity holds for both developed and developing countries. Without knowledge about whether interventions against intimate partner violence do more good

Recipe contributed in honor of Arlene G. Becker
by Debbi Josephson
My mother, Arlene Becker was a fabulous cook and entertainer. The reason that she was a good cook is because she used the finest ingredients, the most important ingredient by far was love. Love for the people for whom she prepared the food and love of the creative act of cooking. When I began life on my own she told me that all a person needed to know in order to cook is; how to read. Follow the written directions and you can succeed. Mom also said that there are three recipes that many people think are very difficult and will shy away from preparing, and if I could master those as a beginner cook I could impress my guests. She taught me her secrets of how to make matzo balls, chopped liver and cheesecake. This recipe Banana Nut Bread was one of her signature dishes.

All I can say is that the woman was the best cook I have ever known. Shabbat dinners at her house every week. Baking and cooking constantly for us, and for others. I can say I honestly don't remember her not being in a kitchen somewhere. She had a full kitchen with an additional full kitchen in the basement. Not to mention the countless hours she spent with the Beth Israel Sisterhood. Although I didn't realize it at the time, I was truly her princess, and I now realize that she was the queen of my world. I just wish I would have realized that before she left this earth. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her, knowing she is with me every step of the way. I can only somehow hope that these recipes serve as her legacy to all Jewish kitchens everywhere. She was truly a gift to all who knew her! I love you Bubbie, Your Shayna "madel"
Recipe contributed in honor of Gertrude Simon by Kathy Simon
My mother-n-law Gertrude Simon was an excellent cook, baker, and hostess.
As I was looking for one of her many delicious recipes its was easy for me to pick this one because she said this is "my favorite!" P.S. The recipe might be hard to follow, but if you are a cook, I think you can understand her recipe. By the way very yummy!

This recipe honors my grandmother, Annette Pomerance, who passed away this passed December at the age of 98. I miss you Grandma Nettie.
Recipe contributed in honor of Hariett Singer
by Phyllis Glazer and Susan Rothholz
Hariett is one of the best bakers in Omaha (and probably in any city in which she would have lived)! When we tasted this bread at a Book Club meeting and again, at our Temple's Adult Education class, we threw out our old Banana Bread recipes. This is truly a Blue Ribbon Winner!
Recipe contributed in honor of Idell Wasserman Rodin by Lois "Ducky" MilderThe aroma of this coffee cake reminds me of the man Jewish Federation meethings and Hadassah Business and Professional Women's gatherings at the home of my parents, David and Idell Rodin, in Sioux City, Iowa. I feel so grateful to my mother and Dad, who were warm and welcoming hosts, for their participation in both Jewish and community life. Sioux City was once a vibrant Jewish community. The aroma of baking this cake permeates still in our home today, bringing back treasured memories.
Recipe contributed in honor of Aunt Marilyn, by Debbi JosephsonThis recipe brings back wonderful memories at my Aunt Marilyn's house, and my nephews love it when I make it now.

Shraddha Kapoor is on a roll these days. The Rock On 2 actress is busy giving performances to her fans and music lovers, thanks to NH7 Weekender. Until now, Kapoor and her team has performed in Shillong, Hyderabad and Pune. Being a rockstar is not an easy job – it needs lots of energy and heaploads of attitude and style to pull it off. Also, an intricate part of the performance is the wardrobe. Much to our delight, the actress has been looking the part and has been upping her fashion game, one look at a time.
Celebrity stylist Sanam Ratansi is going all out to give her a makeover, a far cry from the girl-next-door look. We love her all-black look, complete with sparkles and fringes. The Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna top and Topshop jeans looks really good on the lady and if there's a pair of Tommy Hilfiger boots to round out the look, nothing like it. But we are equally in love with her sparkling dress from Papa Don't Preach. The styling is on point too with natural waves and soft pink lips.
The third one in Madison is rather plain but the jacket with sparkle embroidery in it adds some glamour to the look. Also, Sanam Ratansi did a great job by accessorising it with chunky jewellery and shoes from Ash. Soft waves and the peachy pout are the perfect way to finish the look.
Which look do you prefer the most? Let us know in the comments below.

We proudly invite Time Out cardholders in London to early screenings of 'Inside Llewyn Davis', the new film from Joel and Ethan Coen, the Oscar-winning directing team behind 'Fargo' and 'The Big Lebowski'. Newcomer Oscar Isaac is Llewyn Davis, a young singer navigating the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early '60s. It's a melancholic, sometimes cruel, often hilarious snapshot of the music scene, featuring a brilliant performance by Isaac, with Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake and John Goodman providing A-list support. The Coen brothers collaborate for the fourth time with musician and producer T Bone Burnett on an authentically folky soundtrack of traditional ballads performed by Marcus Mumford , Bob Dylan and Justin Timberlake.
Read the five-star Time Out review.
Two exclusive previews for Time Out Card holders take place on Mon Jan 20, four days before the film's general release. A further screening takes place on Fri Jan 24. To find out more about the Time Out Card, including details on how to order you own, click here.

I enjoyed it, I'd recommend it, great music too. Coen brothers still got it. I miss John Goodman and wonder why I don't see him more in movies, its not as if he was being cast for his good looks earlier.

I'm embarrassed that it's taken me so long to get back to this blog, but it's only evidence that I have been a busy little bee with the upcoming retirement. I plan to give my notice next week on the 15th. With all the planning and preparation I have to admit, when it comes right down to actually doing the deed, it's gets a little scary. Putting one foot ahead of the other I am just moving ahead.
The museum where I'll be doing docent work has issued me an ID card, that's pretty exciting. I was surprised to learn that museums have reciprocity with museums all over the country and the world, so I'll now be able to get in without paying admission, something I will enjoy.
The meditation is moving along and I have really been enjoying Sharon Saltzberg, she gave her last lecture last night so I'll probably see her again in September when she comes back to New York. Letting go has never been easy for me, but I think it will be come easier.
Two individuals from my past that I haven't had contact with for at least five years, I originally cut the relationships off. I reached out to both men. The relationships were powerful for me both in the good register and the bad register. I am pleased that they both responded favorably to meeting for a coffee or lunch . I feel that I have grown, hopefully they have grown too ! It really is not easy to let go of friendships with people that you have history with and that you actually liked. The trick is for me NOT to pick up where we left off but to get beyond that. I met with C.F. for lunch yesterday it went well and I was able to not lose myself or my identity. This is a very good thing, I knew if I couldn't keep my balance, it would be the last time we would have met. I am really glad he now has a partner, who btw I actually met that night at the Sharon Salzberg lecture.(Yes what a small world). I do miss J.P. After my little retirement dinner on August 29th we'll take a weekend together in Providence R.I., it should be fun and a nice change as well as a great way to start my new life.

Published at Tuesday, 09 January 2018 by roger in Bedroom Design, with total 59 drawings.
The cozy timber that encompasses the remainder of the area is brought into the boudoirs table top to proceed the connection of the space. Take a look at this spectacular master suite with an connected washroom, closet space, and even a sun and analysis nook. The glass wall of the washroom lets several of that beautiful all-natural light leak into the space. The blurred lines on the glass add not just a design component to the space, however a bit of personal privacy for the washroom. The bed is certainly center-stage of this master suite. It's surrounded by a beautiful large head board that works as storage space and lighting.
A couple of triangulars go a long way on these white walls. With an all black, white and timber color scheme, this space remains younger with cartoonish accent items. Where can we obtain a huge cloud pillow for ourselves?
We're consumed with this wall surface storage remedy. You commonly see whole closet areas take up a wall surface of a bedroom, yet here they've done it a bit in different ways by adding an open space to function as a dresser top. The neutral shade pallet makes this bedroom feel cozy and cozy even against the raw white sheets and cupboards. A ideal area to place your books, perfume, or a vase packed with flowers. This reflective glass wall surface is a astonishment. It adds dimension, shows light, and it's cozy chocolate shade warms up the whole space.

Unfortunately my last newsletter article got left out of the May Foreword, I can't let it go to waste, so here it is:
Well, this will be my last Foreword article I write, let me get a few business items out of the way first. The course is in great shape for this time of year, we did end up seeing a few spots of winter damage on a couple greens but they will fill in soon. The poa seed heads are prevalent this year due to the timing of our growth regulator applications, they will subside in a few weeks and we will be left with great greens for the remainder of the season.
As usual for this time of year, we can't keep up with the rough mowing and there are too many projects to be completed for the allotted hours in the day. The Grounds staff is firing on all cylinders, staying busy and being efficient, knocking tasks off one by one as our priority list dictates. Soon we will be edging landscape beds in preparation for the May mulch delivery and the annuals that will be coming soon after.
I was looking forward for this upcoming summer as I feel we are in a really good place regarding course conditions, we had a few small projects on our list to complete, and the staff coming in this year is the best I've had. Speaking of staff, the guys and gals on our grounds team are great people, they care about FCC and truly want to provide a great product. It has been a pleasure teaching, leading, learning from, and working alongside this team.
FCC is a special place, I will miss it. You, the members have treated me well and provided abounding support. I will miss the early morning sunrises over the driving range, the friendly waves from golfers, the ladies that comment on the landscaping, the staff that gets my quirks, the opportunity to work with the Board and Committees, and the look of a perfectly manicured course even if it only lasts for one day. I will be back to visit as I am invested in this property. It would be hard not come back to see how our trees have grown, how the landscaping has matured and how the staff has improved upon what we have worked so hard to get.
Normally I would end an article by saying 'check out the grounds blog for updates', I can't say that here. I'll end it with; thank you for giving me the opportunity to be FCC's Superintendent.

Skip to comments.D.B. Cooper (Vanity)
Posted on 05/05/2006 10:22:55 PM PDT by Ptarmigan
45 year old D.B. Cooper enters Portland International Airport. Cooper uses the name Dan Cooper to buy a one-way ticket to Sea-Tac International Airport on November 24, 1971, a Wednesday before Thanksgiving. He boards Northwest Flight 305, a Boeing 727-100. He boards the airplane and attracts no attention. He is wearing suit with a pearl tie and wearing a homburg hat. The airplane starts to taxi and take off from the runway. Flight attendant Flo Schaffner walks by and he hands her a note. Men traveling alone handed nots to flight attendants as a way to pass hotel and phone numbers. When she walked a second time, Cooper says to Schaffner, "You'd better read that. I have a bomb." From there, the hijacking starts. Schaffer then goes to the cockpit and notifies Captain William Scott. They are required to cooperate. He orders Schaffner to sit next to her. Cooper shows her briefcase. He also tells the pilot not to land, until the money and parachute are there for him to get. This is exchange for all the passengers on board, which amounts to $200,000. As the hijacking happens, very few passengers knew what was going on. The airplane lands at Sea-Tac and demands it goes to Mexico City and flies slowly and at lower altitude. As the airplane is flying, two F-106 are dispatched to follow it, but it flies at Mach 2. The weather conditions were not great. He goes through the rear door of the Boeing 727 and parachutes out at around 8:05 PM. With him is the $200,000 money. From there, he is never seen again. Hijackings were very common in the 1960s and 70s. In fact two-thirds of them were recorded during that time period. They were mostly committed by political factions to skyjackings in which the hijacker wanted money. Hijackings back then did not result in airplane intentionally being crashed into a building, which happened on September 11, 2001, which claimed 3,000 lives. Then in 1980, a 8 year old boy found money which had matching serial numbers that Cooper had. Presumably, he either died in the Pacific Northwest forest or somehow survived and someone waited to pick him up. Years later, some people claimed to be D.B. Cooper, but none were every confirmed. A close one was in 2000 with Duane Cooper, but it came inconclusive. Nobody knows what really happened to him. D.B. Cooper remains the only unsolved hijacking.

Uh...there is NO WAY the Boeing 727 can break Mach 1, let alone Mach 2.
A Boeing 727 only flies at like 500 mph. If if flew at Mach 1 or 2, the plane would be torn to pieces.
Then make sure you check your post...
I meant to say the F-106 flying at Mach 2, not the 727. The F-106 was sent to pursue, but it went way too fast.
His real name is unknown, his age is unknown.
"In either case, D.B. Cooper's nom de crimeno one knows his real namemay be the most recognized alias among western felons since Jack the Ripper."
"The Air Force scrambled up two F-106 fighter jets from McChord. Those pilots were instructed to follow at a safe distance and watch for a jumper. But the fighters are built to fly at speeds of up to 1,500 mph. They were useless in slow-motion, low altitude surveillance. The authorities tried to recover by sending up a slower-flying Air National Guard Lockheed T-33, but Cooper probably had already jumped by the time it arrived."
"The discovery of the cash gave impetus to new searches in that area until nature intervened. On May 18, 14 weeks after the bundles were found, the volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens carpeted the region with a thick coating of ash and touched off vast fires. Many fear the eruption may have permanently obscured additional Cooper clues that may have been waiting in the Woodland vicinity."
"In 1995, for example, Duane Weber, a Florida antiques dealer who was dying of kidney disease, told his wife, 'I'm Dan Cooper.' After Weber died, his widow found a hidden wallet that indicated the man had had a previous life as one John C. Collins. His resume of wrongdoing included a bad conduct discharge from the Navy and six prison sentences, one of them served 20 miles from Sea-Tac Airport. The widow claimed Weber took her on an unexplained 'sentimental journey' in 1979 to a remote place in the woods of Clark County, Washington. She said the husband looked like the Cooper sketch, knew Seattle well, smoked cigarettes, drank bourbon, and sometimes talked in his sleep about aft stairs and fingerprints."
Thanks, I thought that was what you meant, but I am sure others would have been confused as well.
Not necessarily fiction...I think it's more a case of a poorly constructed sentence.
Good Point!
Years later a hunter found some part of the plane in the vast northwest's woods. My take is he parachuted into the woods and moved to Florida.

The amount of actual alcohol in pretty much all common drinks, and exactly how much that will raise my blood alcohol content. Exactly how much alcohol my body will naturally remove per hour, how it does that, and how the timing for this process can be altered. I have been given a list of things that police officers use to spot a drunk driver, complete with a ranking of which signs they see as more likely to indicate drunk driving. There's an actual percentage next to each item. I've been told in detail the limitations and caveats of every alcohol and drug related law in the land. I've even been informed of my rights.
I've been taught how to drink, drive, and get away with it.
The court ordered me to do this! I'm not the only one who sees the class this way either. Every time we're let out for a break, we all wander outside, bewildered, wondering when a squadron of gavel-wielding black robes are gonna bust in and ask the guy teaching us these things just what the fuck his problem is. This supposed expert on the deceitful ways of alcoholics. Half of me wonders if it's all a test. If things are going to continue on this ridiculous path, and then when we get our individual assessments tomorrow afternoon, anyone who doesn't lean over the desk and go, "Hey... um, I think that guy's fuckin nuts, telling us these things" gets a big red "X" stamped on their file.
I've also learned that while I thought my story of getting arrested for drunk driving without actually getting pulled over was weird, it's trumped by almost everyone. One lady was arrested by a bicycle cop that she had gone on a date with the previous night. One guy was arrested after getting in a bar fight before ever taking a sip of a drink. One guy got up to go to work one morning and found a dog embedded in the grill of his car, and the missing memories of the night before started fading back in. And these are just the people who are willing to talk about it.
The whole thing would actually be a decent experience if it wasn't for the chairs though. These things were engineered to cause pain. And I suspect the chairs are the true purpose behind the whole thing. Halfway through the day, when people were asking if we could stand for the remaining three hours, our only answer was a smile. A smile that just barely masks a reflection of the scene in the old Twilight Zone episode where the man looks around him and says, "This isn't heaven... it's not heaven at all!" Well, the smile, then more ways to get away with drinking. Now to go do my homework. Lying down. On my stomach.

With a win finally under his belt Paul Jewell has stated Derby can now look forward to fixtures without the winless streak hanging over them. Certainly after Ellington equalised on Tuesday night the Rams looked a different side and started to play the football they looked capable of at times in pre-season. Jewell admitted all the problems aren`t now magically solved and that the fans shouldn`t get carried away with this victory in the same way they shouldn`t have done after the Doncaster defeat and will need to continue to be patient with the newly forming team. It`s nice to go into the televised match with a hint of optimism off the back of a come from behind win, falling behind in a similar game last season would have seen head drops and the inevitable defeat but at last the team are starting to show some fight and spirit.
Bristol City surprised many people last season and were unlucky to lose out in the play-off final when Hull City claimed their place in the Premiership. Manager Gary Johnson, once a target for the Rams, has put together a winning side and, bolstered by the signing of Nicky Maynard for a club record fee in the summer, will be looking to the top end of the table again this time around. Started with an opening day victory over Blackpool and a midweek league cup success, with Steve Brooker scoring in both, and will be looking to continue the run in the first league match at Ashton Gate.
The Sky Sports cameras will provide an early chance for those not travelling to see how the Rams fair in their first competitive away game of the season, it could be an interesting clash between two sides looking to establish themselves in the top half and hopefully higher come next May.
Vital Quotes:
It's a massive game, one of the fixtures you were looking for when the fixtures came out.
Gary Johnson talking to bbc.co.uk
He's frustrating but he's brave in the box and, just when you are about to drag him off, he'll stick one in the top corner.
Paul Jewell tells the Evening Telegrpah about the merits of Nathan Ellington!
Bristol City Team News:
Adriano Basso has recovered from a thigh strain to claim his place back in the squad but Christian Ribeiro is out for up to twelve months with anterior cruciate ligament damage.
Player to watch: Nicky Maynard
Scored for fun at Crewe last season prompting City to take a chance and splash out a club record fee. Unproven at Championship level but looks to have all the attributes to make it at this level and possibly higher. Derby`s defence will have to be on their toes to keep Maynard at bay as he looks to establish himself in the Bristol attack.
Derby County Team News:
Alan Stubbs set to miss out with knee injury, Dean Leacock missing due to operation. Robbie Savage back in consideration after starting on Tuesday and an apology to Jewell with the promise to knuckle down in training. Ruben Zadkovich back from the Olympics but has a slight groin strain and not due to feature for two weeks. Eddie Lewis, Gary Teale and Benny Feilhaber all moved on during the week although none of the three would have expected to feature in this game.
Player to watch: Nathan Ellington
Scored a hat trick in the midweek league cup win over Lincoln which, let`s hope, may prove to be a pivotal point in the season. Looks to be starting to enjoy his football again which can only be a good thing for Derby and if he starts to recapture his form from the last time he linked up with Jewell he could be the focal point of the new Rams attack and score the goals to keep us at the right end of the table.
Match Facts & Stats
Derby County
Doncaster Rovers (H) 0-1
Lincoln City (H) 3-1 aet Ellington (3)
Bristol City
Blackpool (A) 1-0 Brooker
Peterborough United (H) 2-1 Carey, Brooker
Match Prediction:
It`s going to be a close match but with the optimism (and relief) in the squad after the midweek league cup victory and Ellington boosted by his hat-trick Derby to take it 2-1 with 'The Duke` to open his league account.
Next Fixtures:
23rd August v Southampton (Coca-Cola Championship) Pride Park

Blending artistry with earnestness
Rabbit Stash
WANGZ Hotel
Level R, 213 Outram Road
Singapore 169040.
Tel: 9858-8607 or 6595-1380
Open for lunch from Tues to Fri: 12pm to 2pm. Dinner from Mon to Sat: 6.30pm to 10.30pm
SO here's a burning question to start off the week: Are rabbits smart? We all know that in the animal kingdom, whales, dolphins and elephants seem to be regularly ranked at the top of the intelligence scale. Along with my elderly aunt's poodle, who apparently reads The Wall Street Journal. Online.
Did you find that an unnecessary question? Are you racking your brain trying to figure out what it has to do with the topic at hand? Do you even care if rabbits are smart? Then you'll understand our dining experience at Rabbit Stash - where good food is undermined by a disconcerting need to intellectualise it.
With its third - and perhaps final - iteration on the rooftop of boutique hotel WANGZ, former private chef Matthew Mok has come some way since opening his hole-in-the-wall eatery in Pandan Valley in 2012.
Coming in from the claustrophobic basement carpark/drop-off point and an equally tight lift, the narrow foyer opens up into a bright, cheery space awash in sunlight with an uncluttered view and semi-casual decor to enjoy it in. Think smart, air-conditioned poolside eatery without the sundecks, with a pretty alfresco section squeezed into the outer circumference of the circular space.
We initially don't think twice as the eloquent, smartly-dressed "operations manager" waxes on about the philosophy behind the menu, which gives you the option of two to four courses, up to a seven-course degustation priced from $36 to $148.
The seven-course menu we pick represents the chef's ENOSOPHI - an acronym for the inspiration behind each dish, eg, Exotic, Nostalgia, Ocean, Soil and so forth. Oka-ay.
This being our first visit to a Rabbit Stash, we're impressed by the painstaking effort behind the snacks - a thick wooden "trunk" with slots for wafer-thin butter crisps, and a base of "soil" made of bread and cookie crumbs holding baby potatoes topped with tomato jam and a little pile of garlic toast discs.
We're instructed to top the potato with the toast and spoon a creamy "yam jam" on top from a glass jar. Another wooden bowl is filled with a sweet lemony mayonnaise to dip the butter crisps into. We follow the instructions dutifully and the combination of starchy potato, sweetly acidic tomato jam, buttery toast and the mild, savoury sabayon-like yam jam makes for a nice carbo crunch.
A piping hot amuse bouche of intense mushroom consomme thickened with truffle-scented cream also hits the spot.
Chef Mok's sense of artistry comes through in the intricately plated "Soil" - an appetiser where little trails of cashew crumbs, basil snow, burnt butter, asparagus jelly blobs, herbs and other little bits lead to the "mother ship" - a scoop of beetroot sorbet. We can't remember the instructions we're given and dive right in, scooping up crumbs and herbs together into an indistinct crunch that makes sense only upon contact with the sweet sorbet - kind of like ice cream with toppings.
The "P" in "ENOSOPHI" stands for Pristine, manifested here in an austere presentation of perfect soft-boiled egg and fresh crayfish in a cabbage dashi, with popped rice grains and a side of sauteed mushrooms and bacon bits. Here, the fail-safe classic egg and mushroom combo with bacon bits is luxed up with the crayfish, dashi and truffle cream (despite truffle oil steadily gaining pariah status among top chefs for being an artificial condiment). It's more comfort food than pristine, but maybe "C" couldn't fit into the acronym.
Before long, ENOSOPHI becomes highly ENNOYING as we're inundated with detailed descriptions of the inspiration behind each dish: "Ocean", with a fussy arrangement of seared scallop on anchovy sauce, smoked ocean trout, black "coral" in the form of a squid ink coloured sponge, prawn tempura on top of mashed bananas and assorted gelatinous seaweed. Each component works fine individually but has little in common with each other apart from being, well, from the sea.
"Nostalgia" recalls - what, we're not sure. But on its own, it's a palatable seafood bisque with slightly-too- soft egg noodles topped with crabmeat. "Impression" fails to make any apart from being the weakest link in the menu chain with a so-so square of grilled Berkshire pork sitting on apple mash and beetroot-hued potato puree, hard crackling and a cube of watermelon. We much prefer "Heritage", even if the fork-tender gelatinous beef cheek, tomato-ey barley and a sesame crisp have no connection to any history we know.
Chef Mok's food is well-crafted if not polished, but its appeal lies in his earnestness and care in adapting Western recipes to suit the Asian palate (less salt, more umami, a bit of sweetness). But to achieve the kind of precision and technique he aims for with ENOSOPHI requires years of toiling in a professional kitchen under top chefs, and isn't to be attempted lightly. It's also discordant in an informal setting like WANGZ, where the chef himself is dressed in jeans and an apron rather than chef's whites.
In this case, a less-is-more approach works better than forced showmanship. Folks sometimes just want a nice meal, not an insight into the chef's mental processes.
Maybe we're just dumb rabbits, but we like Chef Mok's food, not the rhetoric.

Rangers boss Mark Warburton convinced Barton to swap Burnley for Rangers this summer.
England get their Euro 2016 campaign underway this weekend when they face Russia in Marseille and whilst Glasgow Rangers may be a Scottish side there will be plenty of players at the Ibrox club hoping England can get the win.
English boss Mark Warburton has brought in plenty of players from south of the border to Ibrox recently, including this summer's biggest recruit Joey Barton.
The former Burnley man arrived on a free transfer earlier this month, with Rangers looking to strengthen their midfield ahead of a Premiership campaign.
Barton is in fact in Marseille for the game and it seems the Rangers newbie took a chance to check out one of his old stomping grounds whilst in the South of France.
The Rangers star sent out this Instagram earlier today, as he visited the training ground of his former club Marseille:
Barton joined the French side on loan in 2013 after falling foul of the management at QPR and has since turned his career around once again – culminating in a magnificent campaign in the Championship last term with Burnley.
Now he is at Rangers fans will be hoping the midfielder one day treats the Ibrox club with the same affinity he still has for l'OM – even if they hope Russia leave him disappointed tomorrow evening.

I don't know of anyone who doesn't like the Caprice salad whether it's served on a plate or on a stick, or on a buffet where you DIY. This is one you DIY – as a sandwich and, if you want to serve it as an appetizer to an Italian dinner, you can. I'll even give you a couple of alternatives both for an appetizer and for the kids who might turn their noses up at 'vegetables again'!
For the kids, open it up, pop under the broiler, and tell them it's a pizza!
As an appetizer, instead of bread, use a large, round whole grain or multi-grain cracker as the base and don't bother cooking it at all!
OK – for the bread base … I like to use something thin like flat pita rounds (after they've been separated) or the you-know-who's Sandwich Thins but you can use ciabatta rolls, whole grain or multi-grain bread, sourdough, even English muffins. I like to spread a little pesto on both sides just to moisten the bread a bit but not enough to be gooey, and once filled, either griddle, toast, bake, put in the panini baker or just eat! By the time I get it made, I'm usually ready to forget to heat it up and just take big bite!
Get the freshest mozzarella balls you can and slice them yourself (save scraps for pizza or anything else – including just nibbling!), fresh and bright green basil and the best tomatoes heirlooms if you can find them, you can find. If they smell wonderful they will taste wonderful! Trust me! If you can't find heirlooms, get the tomatoes on the vine and – an important tip! Keep them ON the vine. They will stay fresh much longer and of course you know to never refrigerate tomatoes unless you want them to taste like potatoes! That includes the cherry varieties — just leave them where you and everyone else can just grab a few for a quick snack!
Caprese Sandwiches
- 8 thin bread bases (pita, ciabatta bread slices, sourdough, etc.), divided
- 8 tsp. pesto, divided
- 1 large heirloom tomato, cored and sliced in 4 slices
- 4 large or 6-8 medium sized, fresh basil leaves
- 1 large ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into 4 slices (same thickness as tomatoes)
- Drizzle of good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Drizzle of good quality Balsamic vinegar
Spread each bread base thinly with 1 tsp. pesto. Cover each with a slice of tomato, 1 large or 2 small leaves of basil, 1 slice of mozzarella, and a light drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Cover with 2nd slice of bread.
Serve as is – or heat in panini baker per manufacturer's directions. Or, preheat oven to 325. Place sandwiches on buttered foil or butter or olive oil sprayed baking sheet. Set sandwiches on baking sheet. Bake until heated through and cheese melts, about 3 to 4 minutes.
For mini-sandwiches, if serving cold, cut each sandwich in 4ths; if serving hot, cut after removing from oven (be careful as the cheese and tomato will be very hot!).

2. We think the reason is....we moved him to his own room. For the first 3 1/2 months he WOULD NOT sleep by himself. You had to hold him. Now, he sleeps better by himself. When he wakes slightly in his room, he puts himself back to sleep. When he wakes slightly with me in the room, he knows I'm there and insists on nursing. If I had my first choice, I would still want him with us (he seems so far away) but I'm doing what's best for everyone.
3. Oddly enough I'm actually more tired now that he's sleeping better. I think before I was in survival mode, now my body actually wants real sleep & wants to make up for the last 4 months. I slept a total of 9 hours last night and am still very sleepy. Don't get me wrong, I actually prefer getting sleep. I'm just hoping this passes.
4. I think I need a pedicure. Maybe this afternoon. We'll see.
5. I also need to get my eyebrows done. It's already pre-paid, I just hate getting it done. It kinda hurts.
6. I finally found new slacks for work this weekend. Finally a pair that are long enough. They were 25% off too (not that they were cheap to start out with but slacks are kind of a necessity).
7. I have some things from Amazon.com coming this week. I'm excited.
The first thing is that little blue guy (for Connor of course). It's made by the same company (Vulli) that makes Sophie the Giraffe.
The next is a book called Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. I've been told by a number of sources that it's the best book to help understand the relationship between ISO, shutter speed and apeture. I'm hoping it'll give me some insight and help me improve my photography.
The last is a light scoop. It's a light diffuser that fits over your existing on board flash. It bounces the light so you don't get such harsh flash light on your subject. Below is an example.
8. Wow #7 was involved. I should get back to work. I'll hurry up.
9. I left my lunch at home :( Guess I'll get something out.
10. I want to start using coupons. If anyone has a good website that helps, please let me know. I know of grocery game but maybe there's something out there you don't have to pay for.
11. (bonus) I'll get pictures of #35 and beyond here hopefully tonight.

The workshop will cover different career options available within TV, which might be best for you, and how best to navigate your chosen path; an overview of leading TV companies, what they make and how to contact them; how to find work – including a CV clinic, guidance on covering letters, interview advice and building contacts and networking; who's hiring, and more.
The workshop is taught by Moray Coulter, a TV talent agent representing top end directors and producers. Prior to that he was at the forefront of digital recruitment in the TV industry, founding ProductionBase and co-designing The Talent Manager. He has also worked as a talent manager for leading broadcasters and Indies, including ITV, Twenty Twenty, Maverick, Keo and others.
