Flight origin | Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, Buenos Aires, Argentina |
Destination | Ingeniero Ambrosio L.V. Taravella International Airport, Córdoba, Argentina |
LAPA Flight 3142 was a scheduled Buenos Aires–Córdoba flight operated by the Argentine airline Líneas Aéreas Privadas Argentinas.[1] The service was operated with a Boeing 737-204C, registration LV-WRZ,[1] that crashed on 31 August 1999 at 20:54 local time while attempting to take off from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery after it failed to get airborne. The crash resulted in 65 fatalities—63 of them occupants of the aircraft—and at least 40 people injured, some of them in serious condition.[2] The death toll makes the accident the second deadliest one in the history of Argentine aviation, behind Aerolíneas Argentinas Flight 644.
The plane involved in the accident was a Boeing 737-204C, registration LV-WRZ, production number 20389, line 251, with JT8D-9A engines.[1] It first flew on 14 April 1970,[1] and it was delivered by Boeing to Britannia Airways on 17 April of that year. It was listed in the United Kingdom's registry as G-AXNB.
Almost 20 years later, on 1 February 1990, the plane was sold to the French airline TAT European Airlines, and registered in France as F-GGPB.
Finally, LAPA took possession of the plane on 21 December 1996, and flew it under the Argentine tail number LV-WRZ. At the time of the accident, it had accumulated 67,864 hours of flying time and 41,851 take-offs and landings. The aircraft was 29 years and 139 days old at the time the accident took place.
As the aircraft started the takeoff run, the take-off warning system (TOWS) sounded an alarm in the cockpit, indicating that the aircraft was not correctly configured for the maneuver. The crew ignored the warning and continued the takeoff, not realising that the flaps were not at the required take-off position and were instead fully retracted, thus preventing the aircraft from lifting off. The jet overshot the runway, breaking through the airport's perimeter fence, crossed a road, hitting an automobile, and finally collided with road-construction machinery and a highway median. Fuel spilling over the hot engines and gas leaking from a damaged gas regulation station resulted in a fire that totally destroyed the aircraft.
The Junta de Investigaciones de Accidentes de Aviación Civil (JIAAC) determined that the pilots failed to configure the aircraft correctly for take-off. The penal prosecution focused on proving that the company's policies and organization, lacking the Argentine Air Force's controls, were the main factors that led to the accident. For instance, it was mentioned that a pilot was allowed to fly without a license by the company. Because of these perceived flaws, some of LAPA's directors and the Air Force staff responsible for monitoring the airline were taken to jury trial.
The captain was Gustavo Weigel (45) and his co-pilot was Luis Etcheverry (31). Both died in the accident. Weigel had 6,500 hours of flying experience, of which 1,710 had been in a Boeing 737, the type of aircraft that was in the accident. The co-pilot had flown 560 of his 4,085 hours in the 737.
With regard to the two pilots, the JIAAC report said that "the records of their flight and simulator training showed repeated negative flying characteristics, and if they had been able to move away from these characteristics in the face of difficulties, their poor attitude manifested itself once again in relaxed attitudes such as that seen in the cockpit of flight 3142".[3]
Even though the aforementioned report stated that "the pilots had fulfilled technical and psychological requirements", and that "their experience, both in general flight, and with this kind of aircraft was suitable for the job they were performing", the lawsuit later determined that Weigel was not fit to fly, since his license had expired.
Even though these personal issues surrounding the pilots had a very significant influence on the accident, the legal investigation performed in the following years centered on proving that the pilots were not entirely to blame, but that the lack of controls by the Air Force and LAPA's organizational culture also played a role in the events leading to the crash.
Flight review[edit]
The JIAAC review of the flight reads:
The evening of the accident, the captain arrived at the Aeroparque Jorge Newbery one hour before take-off, as usual, in order to perform a regular commercial flight (LAPA 3142), on which 95 passengers and 5 crew members were to be transported to the destination airport Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella in the city of Córdoba.
He arrived before the first officer and had an informal conversation with the flight dispatcher on duty. The aforementioned briefing started with the rest of the flight's crew, and when the first officer arrived, they went back over the weather conditions –which were good– and the NOTAMs for the destination airport as well as for alternative ones. Both pilots controlled the flight plan. Having seen the good weather conditions, the captain selected Aeroparque Jorge Newbery as the alternative airport and decided on the fuel requirements for the flight. The first officer went to the aircraft and the captain followed him shortly after.
The whole briefing lasted approximately ten minutes.
There were no unusual incidents during the briefing. There were no comments or attitudes outside the norm from either of the two pilots during the briefing.
According to the dispatcher, the captain looked very well and as energetic as usual and the first officer looked well. The first officer, the flight commissioner and cabin crew arrived at the aircraft first.
The first officer notified one of the mechanics assisting the aircraft that the total fuel requirement was 8,500 kg, all to be stored in tanks on the wings. The mechanic corroborated loading fuel into the main tank. In this case, as required by the technical documentation of the time, the fuel was to be moved to the wing tanks. The mechanic started that job when the captain arrived at the aircraft.
Before entering the cockpit, he threw the flight technical record to the floor, showing annoyance, confirming that attitude by later shutting off the fuel transfer faucet between the main tank and the wing tanks, a job that was being performed at that precise moment by the assistant flight mechanic.
During their first four minutes on board, the captain, the co-pilot and the commissioner talked about trivial matters in good spirits, focusing on the commissioner's personal issues. When the commissioner left the cockpit, the conversation changed tone and matter as they discussed a controversial situation about their relationship. The captain said, after a reproach from the co-pilot, that he was "going through bad times", to which the copilot replied that he was also having a bad day.
Without interrupting the conversation and as part of it, the reading of the Procedures Control List (PCL) for the aircraft started, mixed with the personal issues that worried them and that led them to misread the procedure checklist.
This confusing situation, in which the PCL was interspersed with conversation irrelevant to the crew's task, persisted during "push back", engine start and taxiing, up to the moment of take-off, which was delayed by other aircraft waiting ahead of the LAPA flight and heavy arriving traffic.
During this final wait, the three men were smoking in the cockpit and their conversation could be of dubious interpretation.
Take-off started on Runway 13 of the Aeroparque at 20:53 hours, and in spite of overpassing rotation (Vr) and take-off security (V2) speeds, the aircraft did not succeed in taking off, continuing straight along its path uncontrollably, hitting several obstacles and finally impacting an embankment.[3]
The report details: "in its final run after failing to take off, the aircraft hit a Chrysler Neon car that was travelling on the Rafael Obligado road (Costanera Norte) that crosses the projection of Runway 13. The car's fuel in contact with sparks from the sliding fuselage against the tarmac and the dragged automobile possibly ignited a fire on the left front side of the aircraft, which grew from rupture of the wings which spilled jet fuel of type JP-1. Also, as a result of a gas regulator plant being hit, a gas leak developed. The fire moved to the back of the aircraft, covering it entirely."
After impact against the embankment, but before catching fire, a flight attendant attempted to hold and operate a fire extinguisher, but she didn't succeed because it was already very hot. She also unsuccessfully tried to open the rear right door that was jammed —probably due to deformation. Finally, another flight attendant succeeded in opening the rear left door allowing several passengers to be evacuated before the fire propagated itself. The right side of the fuselage showed an opening, through which a few passengers escaped.
On the doors, preliminary versions of the report added that "the front left slide L1, of grey colour, was found deployed but unpressurised", which means a much greater effort was needed to open the door. The early reports also considered that the absence of a food or drinks trolley in the rear galley of the aircraft helped, since walking distance to the exit was notably reduced.
Fire units from the airport, as well as the Federal Police, and the Naval Prefecture fought the fire. The evacuation operation was directed by the city's Medical Emergency Attention Service (SAME), which used 15 ambulances of their own as well as some from private hospitals. Based on the severity of their injuries, the casualties were taken to different treatment centres.
JIAAC investigation[edit]
The Junta de Investigaciones de Accidentes de Aviación Civil investigation report was only one of the documents taken into account in the judicial investigation, though it was criticized for focusing solely on blaming the pilots directly.
During the three days after the accident, the United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) sent a team to assist the JIAAC in their investigation. This team consisted of an NTSB representative and technicians from Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). While in Argentina, these investigators worked with JIAAC personnel, forming teams according to their areas of expertise.
The data from the black box, the flight data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) were read at the NTSB headquarters in Washington. With this information, a computerized animation of the failed take-off attempt was constructed.
Another aspect that was studied and analyzed was the adherence to the maintenance plan in the available technical documentation. The analysis led investigators to believe that the aircraft, its components and its engines complied with the requirements set out in the maintenance plan and the approved operational specifications of the Dirección Nacional de Aeronavegabilidad (National Board of Aeronavigation).
To complete the detailed investigation, the JIAAC technicians reassembled the main components of the aircraft in a hangar in the Aeroparque. They also cleaned, identified and analyzed the boards, actuators, electronic equipment, the cockpit pedestal, etc. that were recovered from the accident site, and dismantled the engines of the plane as much as possible given the state of destruction they faced. The technicians inspected the hydraulic system on thrust reversers of both engines, and the braking system of the landing gear, all of which were found to be in sufficient working order.
The investigation concluded that the engines almost certainly functioned until the final impact, though their behaviour at that particular moment could not be precisely determined. Nevertheless, from the reading of the FDR it was observed that both engines had equal thrust and were set to provide thrust for take-off before power was reduced and the thrust reversers were applied. In order to determine if there was a bird strike, the National Institute for the Investigation of Natural Sciences (Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones de las Ciencias Naturales) performed a study with negative results.
The thrust reversers—which are located behind the engine and direct the exhaust forward to slow the aircraft down quickly after landing (see image)—were found seriously damaged, but the hydraulic mechanism of the left engine was set for reverse thrust, while the right one was set for forward thrust. The investigation was unable to determinate if the thrust reversers were intentionally activated and later deactivated.
It was important for the investigation to establish the position of the mechanical activators on the flaps, since the fact that they weren't activated was a fundamental cause of the accident. A special investigation was carried out to establish what had happened with the flaps. The extended flaps alter the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft, giving the aircraft lift to get off the ground at a lower speed over a shorter distance than would be possible without flaps. Even if it had been possible to reach the take-off speed without flaps before the end of the runway, it would still have been necessary to have enough runway[clarification needed]. This is why in practice, there are no runways that would allow the take-off of medium- to large- size aircraft without flaps.
The main finding within the remains of the plane was that all of the examined flaps' worm gear operators were in the unwound position, indicating that the flaps were not deployed. This tallies with the fact that the flap command in the cockpit was also in the no-flaps position, that the readings at the FDR indicate they were retracted, and that the flap lights were off, indicating that they were not activated.
The alarm sound recorded by the CVR indicated that there was a problem with the departure configurations. The recording showed that at the time of departure the flaps were not in the correct position for lift-off.
A study was performed on the electrical circuitry to determine the position of the electrical breakers on the take-off warning system. Also, a study was performed on the slat indicator lights' filaments.
The indicator lights were found to be off, the only fire alarm was off and the main warning indicators (Master Caution) were found on. The latter could be activated by any one of a long list of possible faults resulting in the destruction of the aircraft.
According to the investigative commission, the immediate cause of the accident was "that the flight crew of LAPA flight 3142 forgot to extend the wing flaps to initiate take-off, and ignored the alarm that advised them of the error in configuration for take-off."
Contributing factors[edit]
The report of the JIAAC cites the following factors as contributing to the accident:
- Lack of crew discipline, who did not make the logical reaction of aborting take-off and checking for errors when the alarm sounded as the engines started and as it continued to sound until the take-off attempt.
- Excess conversations irrelevant to the flight, and moments of significant emotional intensity between the pilots that were mixed with the reading of the flight checklist, resulting in the omission of the part of the procedures where flaps for take-off are to be extended.
- Personal, family, or economic problems or other issues of both pilots that interfered with their operational manner.
- Insufficient psychological screening, resulting in the inability to detect when the pilots were suffering from personal problems that influenced their ability as pilots.
- Knowledge and discussion of very personal and non-work-related affairs among the pilots and with the flight crew that fostered an atmosphere lacking in the necessary focus and concentration for operational tasks.
- Aggravation of the captain's previous negative in-flight behaviour by his personal situation and interactions within the cockpit before and during the emergency.
- Previous negative flight characteristics of the first officer that manifested themselves during the reading of the list of control procedures, all occurring in a cockpit whose occupants had their attention on personal issues unrelated to the flight.
- Lack of immediate recognition or corroboration by the pilots of the relationship between the type of audible alarm and the improper take-off configuration, and the failure to employ the flaps correctly for take-off.
- Design of the alarm system that did not ensure that the crew respond to the information it was feeding them and allowing them to continue with take-off regardless.
The following table shows the casualties incurred by the accident as reported by JIAAC:
Injuries | Fatal | Major | Minor | None |
Crew | 3 | – | – | 2 |
Passengers | 60 | 15 | 16 | 4 |
Others | 2 | 2 | 1 | – |
Total | 65 | 17 | 17 | 6 |
Criminal proceedings[edit]
After the accident, the criminal case remained in the hands of federal judge Gustavo Literas, who, during the first months received the preliminary report of the JIAAC and took testimony from dozens of LAPA mechanics.
At the beginning of March 2000, the judge called 540 people to testify, most of them LAPA pilots, copilots, and flight attendants. From this point the investigation centered on the theory that, in addition to pilot error, the ultimate cause of the accident was structural problems in the management of flight operations. During the first two weeks of March testimony was taken from some 140 people, and by this time almost all the survivors had also given testimony.[4]
On 14 May 2000, judge Carlos Liporaci, who replaced judge Literas por licencia, ordered a search of LAPA headquarters and their operations room at Aeroparque, seizing the files of the company's pilots. The court secretary, Pablo Bertussi, said, "When the accident happened, we took only the files of the pilots of that flight. Now we want to review those of the other pilots of this company."[5]
On 18 May 2000, the JIAAC delivered its final report on the accident to the judge. The report was questioned by judicial sources because it focused solely on laying blame on the pilots.[6] Regarding this report, the newspaper La Nación said the next day:
- Even so, according to judicial sources, the dossier is still one more expert's report, and Judge Gustavo Literas, who is investigating the case, asked the Air Force to send him the files that prompted the report's conclusions. The judge wants all of the allegations to be based upon and supported by documents, according to our sources."[7]
The following week, on 24 May 2000, the judge called for the indictment of 32 people, including Gustavo Andrés Deutsch, President of LAPA, the former head of the Air Force, Brigadier General Rubén Montenegro (retired); the former head of the National Division of Aeronavigability, Brigadier Juan Baigorria (retired); the former head of the Division of Habilitaciones, Commodore Damián Peterson (retired); the former titular of the National Institute of Aeronautical and Space Medicine, Commodore Diego Lentino (retired); and the former head of the Command of Aerial Regions, Brigadier Major Enrique Dutra. Literas also ordered the seizure of the assets of Deutsch and 11 other LAPA leaders in the amount of 60 million pesos.[8]
Regarding the progress of the investigation, the morning paper Página/12 commented on the following day:
The investigation unveiled the lack of human resources politic in LAPA. "It would have been wider expertise and demand in the test performed to the pilots. We detected negligence and flexibility", explained to Página/12 a high judicial source. None of the inspections of the Air Force passed by Weigel —who died in the accident— were suitable to detect his proven anormal performance. "It's inadmissible that the same psycho-physiological examinations that I underwent while at the military service are still used", said indignated an experimented government official with some grey hairs.[9]
A little less than one month afterward, on 22 June 2000, Gustavo Deutsch—president of LAPA—appeared for his declaration and responded to over 100 questions from the judge and attorneys general. La Nación reported that according to a judicial source, Deutsch "did not reveal useful information to the investigation". Even so, Deutsch was the only LAPA official who responded to the questions, as the others elected not to respond.[10]
By the end of August, near the one-year anniversary of the tragedy, the investigation had accumulated 1600 pages of findings in 80 sections, it had heard 1500 witnesses, and 34 indictments were carried through the judicial process. At this point, the various sources of information had rendered enough evidence to show that, although the direct cause of the accident was human error, the pilot was in no condition to command an airplane; thus, the responsibility also fell partly on company officials and various high-level heads of the Air Force.[11]
In early November 2000, the second session of the Federal Court of Appeal annulled the confiscation of 60 million pesos that the judge had ordered against the LAPA officials.[12]
Formal charges[edit]
On 22 December 2000, in a 1200-page resolution, Judge Literas charged four LAPA officials and three members of the Air Force. The LAPA officials were charged with estrago culposo seguido de muerte (similar to 'catastrophic criminal negligence leading to death') and included:
- Gustavo Andrés Deutsch – President.
- Ronaldo Patricio Boyd – Director general.
- Fabián Chionetti – Operations manager.
- Nora Arzeno – Human resources manager.
Likewise, several members of the Air Force were prosecuted for dereliction of duty in public office:
- Brigadier Major Enrique Dutra (retired) – Head of the Command of Aerial Regions.
- Commodore Carlos Petersen (retired) – Director of Empowerment and Promotion.
- Commodore Diego Lentino (retired) – Director of the National Institute of Aeronautical and Space Medicine.
When the resolution was released, it also called for seizing the assets of LAPA president Gustavo Deutsch in the amount of 40,000,000 pesos, 500 thousand for Director General Ronaldo Boyd, and 100 thousand for each of the other managers. All of the accused were left at liberty.
With respect to the motive behind accusing the LAPA officials, La Nación drew upon the judicial resolution:
There are by now enough prima facie elements to sustain that the accused negligently performed those duties and obligations that were assigned to them, consequently creating a dangerous situation that ultimately produced the disaster investigated, from the arrival of commander Gustavo Weigel to the company, allowing the development of his career within it, to the moment of the assembly of the crew that was in charge of flight 3142 on 31 August 1999.[13]
The daily Clarín added that the resolution states that "a large fraction of the pilots were in violation of their annual vacation periods. As for the activities of the directors of the LAPA corporation, there is evidence of sloppy procedure in the areas of security and especially personnel selection."[14]
With respect to the motive behind accusing the military personnel, the judge made the following comment about the Command of Aerial Regiones (CRA) of the Air Force:
The CRA has not yet established a clear policy for the selection of inspectors, nor plans for the initial and periodical instructions of its personnel that would contemplate the minimum requirements to perform their functions in the areas of license handling and operation supervision.[13]
Changing judges[edit]
On 21 March 2001, Judge Literas resigned from his post and the case passed into the hands of Judge Claudio Bonadío.[15]
Two years after its inception, the case's file had 110 sections, over a thousand testimonies, and seven accused individuals who awaited the ruling of the Federal Court as to whether they would be brought to jury trial proceedings. The judge also accepted Nora Nouche, the copilot's partner, as a plaintiff and recognized her as another victim rather than one of the responsible persons.[16]
On 8 November 2001, the case changed hands once again and fell to Judge Sergio Torres.
The trial continues[edit]
Roughly eight months later, on 15 July 2002, the second session of the Federal Court of Appeals confirmed the accusations of Deutsch, Boyd, and Chionetti, as well as revoking the accusation against Nora Arzeno. It also revoked the dismissal of Alfredo De Víctor and Valerio Diehl, the predecessors of Chionetti in operations management at LAPA, as well as José María Borsani, head of the Boeing 737 division of LAPA. At the same time, it recognized the lack of merit of flight instructors Vicente Sánchez, Alberto Baigorria, José Héctor García, and Juan Carlos Ossa.[17][18]
Among the military officials, the Federal Court decided to revoke the accusations levelled initially against Enrique Dutra, Damián Peterson, and Diego Lentino.
La Nación made the following comment about the Court's resolution:
The central point of the resolution of Congressmen Horacio Cattani, Martín Irurzun, and Eduardo Luraschi is the analysis of Weigel's professional background. Beginning with this evaluation, they sustained, "one can affirm the existence of negligent actions of those persons (the accused) who, in one way or another, allowed the pilot (Weigel) to be in command of an airliner".
The judges understood that, taking it as a given that one of the basic principles of aeronautical activity is safety, "one ought not pass over nor minimize the errors committed by the crew during initial exams or follow-ups (skill re-certification exams), whether in flight or in a simulator, which provide observations like those that appeared in the dossier of the deceased pilot (Weigel)."
Thus, they enumerated a long series of errors and lack of attentiveness committed by the pilot during his exams. According to the material contained in the file that was incorporated into the judicial review, it was noted as early as April 1994 that Weigel "appeared slow" and that "he should improve his command of lists and procedures...He passed his pilot exam with the minimum score" and was subsequently certified by his instructors.
In that same year, his file claimed that Weigel needed to improve his in-cockpit coordination and his use of the checklists. "One evaluation shows that he was uninformed about his appropriate role; as a consequence of this, he does not lead well and there is a lack of security and coordination in the cockpit," according to his file.[18]
On 17 October, federal officials requested a renewed accusation against Dutra, Petersen, Lentino, and Arzeno, whose charges the Federal Court had revoked.
The following day, Clarín revealed that federal officials "in a 40-page letter, presented to federal Judge Sergio Torres, stated that at the time of the LAPA accident, they did not have a revised and approved Operations Manual provided by the Command of Aerial Regions" and that "this document was required and should have regulated the organizational and administrative structure of the airline, the minimum equipment that a plane should have, and even the procedures to be followed in the case of an accident."[19]
At the same time, La Nación claimed that "Arzeno was responsible for a little-known fact: Weigel, while he should have not been permitted to fly after his previous actions, also should not have been in command of an airplane on the day of the tragedy because his license was expired."[20]
A little over a year later, on 1 December 2003, the second session of the Federal Court confirmed the accusations against Dutra, Peterson, and Lentino, accusing them of the crimes of "abuse of authority and failure to fulfill the responsibilities of public office." Among the reasons cited by the judges were the lack of controls and the fact that "the evaluations taken of the crew were totally insufficient to present a clear profile of the subjects."[21]
Additionally, it revoked the dismissal of Arzeno and charged him with negligence. The judges, according to the information taken from La Nación, said that "human behavior does not occur in a vacuum, but is rather a reflection of the corporate and regulatory environment in which it takes place. For the Congressmen, there was a "clear relationship" between the courses that Pilot Weigel had not completed, and "the violations that occurred in the cockpit" on that fateful day, a fact that was not caught by the managers who controlled the process.[21]
On 10 September 2004, the Federal official Carlos Rívolo required the accused to stand trial in public jury trial proceedings. The request, roughly 600 pages in length, called for a judgment on Gustavo Deutsch, Ronaldo Boyd, Fabián Chionetti, Nora Arzeno, Valerio Diehl, and Gabriel Borsani for estrago culposo (catastrophic criminal negligence). In a similar vein, it requested the judgement of Enrique Dutra, Damián Peterson, and Diego Lentino, asking that they be charged for "failure to fulfill the duties of public office."[22]
Concerning this request, the daily Infobae said that "among other considerations, Rívolo emphasized that the pilot of the destroyed plane, Gustavo Weigel, killed in the accident, had a "regulationally expired" pilot's license and acknowledged that the aviator, before take-off, "had not checked that the doors were closed" and "said that he always forgot to close the doors."[22]
On 9 June 2005, the Federal Court of Appeals rejected the nullification motions that several of the accused had proposed, and it ordered them to jury trial. Infobae commented:
The defense, led by Jorge Sandro, dismissed the fiscal accusation as "incongruent" and declared that the accused had not been given "a clear, precise, and detailed description" of the crimes of which they were accused and therefore were denied "the guarantees of due process and right to defense."
He added that Deutsch and Boyd "did not have the authority of selection, instruction, and control of the pilots and crew members" and Chionetti "adduced that he had gained the relevant authority mere months before the incident."
But Judges Horacio Cattani and Eduardo Luraschi ratified today the nullification of those appeals. "Such questions, in a way, pertain to the nullifying declaration and represent a mere complaint of the defense against the treatment given to the group," they said in a statement.
The Court maintained that from a "simple reading" of the fiscal accusation there emerged a clear description of how the events occurred and the accusations against the directors, in relation "to the errors committed by the pilot and copilot of the destroyed flight as a reflection of the 'recklessness' that incurred disregard of the principle of flight security."
"No doubt remains that, now that this phase of the investigation has come, it is an opportune moment to pose questions during the discussions of the jury trial phase," the statement underscored.[23]
On 5 July 2005, Judge Torres ruled the process complete and elevated all of the accused to jury trial, consequently forming a tribunal to try them. Nine persons ended up being accused: six LAPA officials and three members of the Argentinian Air Force (FAA). Charged with estrago culposo were Gustavo Deutsch (ex-president of LAPA), Ronaldo Boyd (Director General of LAPA), Fabián Chionetti, and Valerio Diehl (Operations Managers of LAPA), Gabriel Borsani (head of the B-737 Line at LAPA) and Nora Arzeno (Human Resources Manager of LAPA). For dereliction of duty in public office, the charged were Enrique Dutra (ex-Commander of Aerial Regions of the FAA), Damián Peterson (ex-Director of Aeronautical Habilitaciones), and Diego Lentino (ex-Director of the national Institute of Aeronautical and Aerospace Medicine).[24]
Infobae described the judicial resolution in the following terms:
In the resolution, the judge reiterated that the determining factors allowing the accident to occur were "the lack of effective control and subsequently taking measures by the responsible persons of the firm LAPA S.A. at the decision-making level, with respect to the aspects relevant to flight security."
In this way he placed responsibility on the airline directors for having completed "in a negligent manner" the responsibilities of their posts, including contracting the pilot Gustavo Weigel, allowing the development of his career path at the business.
The judge highlighted "the constant and permanent contact and direct participation that Deutsch and Boyd had in the politics of advancement in the business" and he reproached them for "the lack of effective control that might have made it possible for the pilots to overcome the errors committed."
The accused face million-dollar asset seizures and charges that have accrued to them from the commercial court that conducted the public examination of the airline.
As for the members of the Air Force, they will be tried for neglecting to observe the law pertaining to content control of the Operations Manual of the airline industry and the norms for training airplane pilots.
Accordingly, the judge reiterated that Lentino was accused of not having completed his principal duty adequately, namely running control checks on the psychophysiological fitness of pilots.
The crime of which the ex-officials stand accused carries a penalty of up to two years of prison, and special incarceration can double the time when the offense is committed while in public office.
The final judgement of the case was delayed by motions filed by the defense of several accused in order to slow the jury trial process, all of which were finally rejected weeks later by the Federal Court in Buenos Aires.[25]
This article needs to be updated. (November 2010) |
In sum, the blame fell upon the pilot Gustavo Weigel, who died in the accident, and upon those who were in charge of tracking his job performance.
On 23 July 2005, one of the accused, Enrique Dutra, was found dead in a car parked in his garage, in the Cordoban neighborhood of Villa Carlos Paz. It was widely believed to be a suicide.[26]
On 28 February 2006, the two former members of the Air Force requested that the tribunal dismiss the charges against them due to the statute of limitations. According to their request, which was accepted, the case against them should have been shelved because more than four years passed between the first accusations and the sentencing, and the crime of which they were accused had a maximum sentence of two years.[27] Nevertheless, the complaining part appealed the decision, and the case will be taken to the high court, which will decide on the matter.[28] As for the LAPA officials, they were charged with "estrago culposo" (negligence followed by death) instead, a crime with a maximum sentence of four years of prison, thus they could not yet appeal to the statute of limitation.
The trial at the high court will take place at the "Tribunal Oral Federal Nº 4" starting on 28 March 2007. The court was designated to be composed by judges Leopoldo Bruglia, María Cristina Sanmartino and Horacio Vaccare, but the last one decided to recuse himself after relatives of the victims disputed his impartiality. His colleagues will decide if they accept his resignation.[27]
In film[edit]
The film Whisky Romeo Zulu brought the story of the accident to the silver screen. It starred and was written and directed by Enrique Piñeyro, an actor, doctor, and former LAPA pilot.
The film is a fictional reproduction of the background of the accident as seen through the eyes of Piñeyro himself, who was actually a LAPA pilot from 1988 to 1999. Piñeyro resigned from his position in June 1999—just two months before the accident—after voicing his concerns about the airline's safety policy. Concerning his motivation for making the film, Piñeyro said:
I was personally interested in recounting how the accident came to occur, not the fact that the pilots forgot about the flaps and the plane blew up, but why they forgot the flaps. And what was the process, because forgetting the flaps was the straw that broke the camel's back in a series of tremendous violations of regulations. I was interested in portraying what isn't apparent about the accident, not just the final link (the pilot). Because all the links that came before were conveniently hidden because they compromised the establishment, the business.[29]

Charles Darwin, who consulted homeopaths himself, said
'… for at this present moment I care more about Drosera than the origin of all the species in the world. But I will not publish on Drosera till next year, for I am frightened & astounded at my results…
"Is it not curious that a plant shd be far more sensitive to a touch than any nerve in the human body! Yet I am perfectly sure that this is true." (equivalent to a 7th homeopathic decimal dilution).
Read about more research on other topics
Darwin investigated homeopathic dilutions (1860) and continued his studies on drosera until 1881:
"In this connection I may refer to Darwin's researches with the fly catching plant, Drosera, or Sundew. Darwin found that solutions of certain salts of ammonia stimulated the glands of the tentacles and caused the latter to turn inwards.
He made this solution more and more dilute, but still the plant was able to detect the presence of salt.
Darwin was almost frightened by his results. Writing to Franciscus Cornelis Donders (1818-1889) he says:
"The 1/4,000,000th of a grain absorbed by a gland clearly makes the tentacle which bears the gland becomes inflected; and I am fully convinced that 1-20,000,000th of a grain of the crystallised salt (i.e., containing about one-third of its weight of water of crystallisation) does the same.
"The leaves are first rate chemists & can distinguish even an incredibly small quantity of any nitrogenised substance from non=nitrogenised substances."
Darwin abandoned his original intention to publish a short paper on the subject, fearing that his estimate of the astonishing sensitivity of the leaves of these plants to minute quantities of nitrogenous substances would scarcely be believed without further supporting evidence (letter to Edward Cresy, 12 December [1860]).
This work was not published until 1875, when Insectivorous plants appeared. (letters to Charles Lyell, 24 November [1860], and to Daniel Oliver, 20 October [1860]).
"I care more about Drosera than the origin of all the species in the world. But I will not publish on Drosera till next year, for I am frightened & astounded at my results.
"Is it not curious that a plant shd be far more sensitive to a touch than any nerve in the human body! Yet I am perfectly sure that this is true." (equivalent to a 7th homeopathic decimal dilution).
In 1860, Darwin wrote to the well known physiologist Franciscus Cornelis Donders (1818-1889) of Utrecht Netherlands, that he observed 1/4,000,000th of a grain of the salt had a demonstrable effect on Drosera.
Now I am quite unhappy at the thought of having to publish such a statement.
The reader will best realise this degree of dilution by remembering that 5,000 ounces would more than fill a thirty one gallon cask or barrel and that to this large body of water one grain of the salt was added – only half a drachm or thirty minims of the solution poured over the leaf. Yet this amount sufficed to cause the inflection of the leaf.
In fact, every time that we perceive an odour, we have evidence that infinitely smaller particles act on our nerves. Moreover, this extreme sensitiveness, exceeding that of the most delicate part of the human body, as well as the power of committing various impulses from one part of the leaf to another, have been acquired without the intervention of any nervous system."
It is not surprising that homeopaths were amongst the first people to embrace Darwin's Origins of Species and to write to him to share their ideas and offer him support.

Greenery now shades the western facing kitchen windows! In fact, the green growth is fast obscuring the view. But there is a bright side to this development. I'll get to that in a moment.
I planted morning glories, two types of vining beans, and moonflowers. To provide growing lines for these, I threaded binder twine through U-shaped staples hammered into a large black locust log laid parallel to the building. My spouse showed me (later, on another project) how to string lines. Instead of threading it through the staple, put a loop through the staple, stick a stick through the loop and pull the string tight. Faster, easier.
Neither the morning glories nor the moonflowers thrived. The beans are doing fine, though, especially the variety with red flowers. And it is these flowers that attract the hummingbirds that entertain us daily now, only two or three feet away beyond the glass! It's rare that we have a meal without a visit from at least one bird. Yesterday, two showed up at the same time. They were not pleased! They glared at each other with no more than six inches between pointed beaks, then flew off to perhaps settle the matter, away from the dinner table (theirs as well as ours). I thought that rather good manners on their part, as I've heard that hummingbirds are particularly hostile to others intruding on their territory.
The beans look fine, but are annuals. I prefer perennials. With this in mind, I asked my spouse what he thought of growing hops. Of course, he mentioned the possibility of making our own beer. Hm. He checked a seed catalog, and read the description to me, which declared the plant perfect for use as a screen and easy to train on a trellis. I bought two hops plants at a local farmers market. I'm somewhat concerned that they will provide too much of a screen. They require sturdier support than beans, but I think the trellis will manage as is.
I planted morning glories beside a small arbor next to the milkhouse and they're growing well, but have not bloomed yet. I hope that will happen before cooler weather kills them. Right now the temperature out there exceeds 90 degrees, which is why I'm sitting here typing instead of out there working.
I could use some feedback on the experience of others with vining plants on trellises--beans, hops, or whatever!

We were psyched and surprised to see there was a small parking lot (and an open space!) located next to the building and were not surprised to see we were one of two four tops in the joint. Our waitress was welcoming and happy to see us. Inside, the decor was unique and fun...a little upscale in feeling, but like most Broad Ripple establishments, a relaxed atmosphere that welcomes jeans or jacket.
For those not aware, Fred is not the biggest Grecian cuisine fan. The closest he gets is Turkey(loves Bosphorus), but Greece has not been his fav. Libby, on the other hand, LOVES Greek and relished this rare opportunity to try one of the several Greek venues in the Indianapolis area.
We chose to start with their appetizer sampler, the Mazza plate; falafel, tabbouleh, humus, tiziki sauce, tomato, cucumber, spinach pie, feta, and pitted black olives. Freshly grilled yummy pita came as the table bread. The falafel and spinach pie were the shining stars of this plate. The falafel was perfectly fried and had a well-melded mild flavor...really tasty in the humus. The spinach pie was absolutely delightful. Lightly crisp that left your fingers greasy and your mouth happy with the creamy spinach filling. Tabbouleh can be a difficult thing to eat much of with so much parsley, but it was fresh and light, a nice garnish(though there was more of it than anything else). The humus was good, but not memorable. The feta and olives were of great condition and quality. Overall, a nice appy, but Fred and Libby agreed they preferred the similar option at Bosphorus.
As it is really the Greek meats that Fred dislikes, he chose to sample the grilled feta sandwich-feta, tomato, cucumber, olives and spices grilled inside a large pita(?) or other flat bread. A solid sandwich made special by the very creamy feta that Fred wishes he could repeat at home. On the side came the orgasm of the evening. Originally requesting just fries, the waitress questioned whether Fred wanted them with feta and garlic...yes, please! What arrived are FLO's new favorite garlic fries in town. Move over Boogie Burger, these are the best garlic fries around! How is this accomplished? We suspect a garlic infused oil is the portal and more of that delicious, extra creamy feta. If the concept of creamy, crispy garlic fries intrigues you, then give these a try.
Libby, with a great love for gyros, had to try the Gyros platter that included more of the delicious feta and olives, buttery rice, some cucumber, tomato, lettuce and tiziki sauce. An unusual feature was the manner in which the gyros meat was presented. In the past, Libby has experienced the thin sliced variety, but this was cut in short chunks. Oddly, it made a difference. Libby prefers the thin sliced, more done edge that come with most gyros platters and sandwiches. The flavor was good, but the texture was not as desirable or pleasant as with others. Sadly, the tiziki seemed to need salt. Creamy enough, but little seasoning. The rice was standard. Overall, it was good, but not the best Libby had had by any means. Fred sampled the meat and found the texture not to his liking either-big shocker.
Ozzy was not left in the cold here. There was a kids menu. Options included gyros, chicken strips and something else he wouldn't eat(no recollection). He chose to try the chicken strips and fries. To our delight and his chagrin, they use their own batter...Ozzy did not approve, but Mommy and Daddy like. An odd and sadly happy development for Mom and Dad was a curious and new appreciation for ketchup. Since when did Ozzy decide he liked dipping? Yay! A new love for fruit? ;)
Wrap Up
Price-$$$, With no alcohol, at lunchtime, we were still talkin' $60.
Atmosphere-***, Interesting decor and welcoming environment.
Service-****, One of the coolest waitresses we have ever had!
Fred - B+, If I have to be dragged to a Greek place, this would be my choice. While the Brugge's frites still reign supreme, these feta garlic fries are an easy number two.Libby - B+, So glad to finally enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean! Although it wasn't the best of it's kind I've had, it was good and a happy meal overall.
Ozzy- B, Loved the fries(and ketchup!) and the atmosphere, but a short kids menu with little for carbotarians to enjoy.

It's very different. The main difference is that North Korean people are literally brainwashed to believe that they have it better than other people (with people sneaking over the border to China being very surprised at the huge differences), and they're actually too weak of a country to do much.
The exact opposite is in play here. The Vagans were equal or stronger than the Earth Sphere, able to achieve their objective of taking Earth, but insist on wasting their advantages. Here, the Vagans all know the Earth is much better, and they are strong and have everything in their favor to go back and take over if they wish, including better tech, a sob story to tell about how they were abandoned, and sympathizers in the Earth Federation government including the Prime Minister himself! What do they do with all these strategic advantages? They decide to squander it all by waging an unnecessary war instead of just going back, which was what they always wanted and can do at any time they wish.

Gin-Sama no Tameni!
The federation made it clear that they're not letting word of the slip-up out. So even if they return to earth, they'd be cleared out by feds.
And also, this presents an even bigger concern. Mars bacterium. Imagine if a strain incurable diseases originate from a migrant, and a fed traces it back to Mars, it'll be the same.

Seriously people. The Vagans have proven to be very effective infilitrators and spies in which they case they even had the Prime Minister in their control. If Ezcelant was serious and didn't bothered giving the Earthlings a chance he could've possibly had Flit eliminated or neutralized way before he uncovered it. |

That's exactly why what we're presented with doesn't work. Any rational thinking about the Vagan leads to the conclusion that they are evil for the sake of evil, not worthy of sympathy as the writers are too obviously trying to pile on this episode (surprisingly enough, some people on this board are taken in. This show reveals quite a bit about the audience). The writers should be held accountable for writing a story that only occurs because of amazing stupidity and shallow characters. This is Gundam, not a comedy series.

I think the writers are just trying to show that when untold suffering is inflicted upon a people they don't see things the same as those that haven't suffered as they have. What they are doing is wrong, it's stupid, and irrational. But to them they see this as the just and only path that has any hope or something else that's cheesy. |

The thing is this.
Take SEED for example. There's sympathy on both sides but you understand where ZAFT stands because their people actually were persecuted by harrassed by others on Earth. In AGE though, it's more of a jealousy and irrational anger on their part. Yes they have a right to be angry with the government that abandoned them centuries ago but that doesn't justify them to take it out on civilians that had nothing to do with it let alone were even aware of it. Flit did sorta avenged them by purging the ones responsible but the added notion that they're testing the Earthlings and such just makes things weird.......it's hard to be sympathetic for the Vagans. They talk like the Earthlings are sitting at home laughing at them but they didn't even know about their situation to begin with and during Flit's arc we know that it wasn't 100% even without the Vagans to begin with. |

Mars has a weak magnetic field that does not prevent cosmic radiation. For some reason Vegan colonies can't protect them from radiation. Earth Sphere colonies does not have these problems. So it is either stupidity on the Vegans part (Being cheap and not bothering) or they lack the material science. |

The whole point is that it's difficult to criticize the Vagans because their very way of thinking is radically different. It's like telling a predator it shouldn't be eating living things. It just wouldn't compute.
It doesn't justify anything they do. But you can't criticize them for doing what seems natural. All earth really CAN do is do everything they can to stop them from messing things up. Talking it over just isn't going to happen any time soon. |

Well, if diplomacy doesn't work, then the alternative is endless warfare, unless one side completely wipes out the other. And since the EF government's duty is to protect its own citizens and not those of a hostile foreign nation, then given what you said genocide is the only option for peace.

Was it implied that Ezelcant could be an Asuno?
The Asuno's are a long line of engineers and scientists. Wouldn't be a surprise if an Asuno led or participated in the Mars expedition. But that doesn't make any sense because only Flit appears to look like his father. Kio and Asem look like their moms... who aren't of Asuno lineage. Spoiler for oMG!:

Also for "any rational thinking" you seem to be forgetting the fact that everybody rationalizes these things differently based on their values beliefs and setting etc (For examples we hate suicide bombers in the middle east yet to those ppl its one of the highest acts of faith to their god) And honestly I would feel sorry for the Vagans born into their society with no choice but to live that life, as well as most having no say over Ezelcant (this dude definitely needs to die though) Also Gundam is definitely not a comedy, but dont forget this is aimed at KIDS, they usually wont give a shit or much thought about plot, If you want serious go watch UC, AC have never had the plot quality of UC IMO Last edited by Skye629; 2012-06-26 at 03:01. |

RAW Format
Supplied software
Unusually Ricoh doesn't supply any software at all for opening or processing raw files. OK, that's not strictly true; there is a trial version of Photoshop Elements in the box, but you'll still need to pay for a copy if you want to use it long-term. The GR-D uses Adobe's DNG format for raw files, meaning Photoshop or Elements have no problems opening them.
JPEG & RAW Resolution compared
As the crops below show there is a real, measurable resolution advantage gained by shooting raw, and the output is considerably cleaner (no moiré, no sharpening halos). Whether you're prepared to live with the huge file sizes and painful shot-to-shot delay that come with shooting raw is up to you, but there is no doubt that, particularly if you want to post-process, you'll get the best results if you do.
Adobe Camera Raw, RAW -> TIFF (Default), Manual White balance , ACR 2.4 |
Camera JPEG |
Studio shot comparison
Although, as mentioned above, there is a visibleS resolution advantage over JPEG, the big difference is the one common to all raw files; the ability to control the processing of images yourself, to set the white balance after the shot is taken, to choose how much (or how little) sharpening and noise reduction is used. As the 100% crops below show, the GR-D is doing some fairly strong noise reduction (and sharpening) in-camera - and that even at ISO 64 there is a significant amount of noise to be dealt with in raw files. It's interesting that the ISO 1600 raw result (according to the documentation you can't use ISO 1600 in raw, but you can!) doesn't look that much noisier than the JPEG (which has some heavy NR), but has considerably more detail. Again; if you can live with the slow operation, raw files offer a real advantage over JPEGs.

Why Bill Clinton Came to 'Talk Windows' at the AFL-CIO
It began with a simple conversation over water and dinner rolls in a restaurant in Davos, Switzerland. After the annual world economic forum held in Davos, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and President Bill Clinton discussed what should be done to create jobs and take on the challenge of climate change—and how working people could step up and invest where banks and Wall Street had failed.
Upon discovering Clinton and the AFL-CIO were working on separate but similar tracks for years, the two decided to join forces.
In 2011, the labor movement committed, as part of the Clinton Global Initiative, to help facilitate $20 million in investment in energy-efficient retrofits. Today Clinton joined Trumka, AFT President Randi Weingarten and Building and Construction Trades Department (BCTD) President Sean McGarvey for a ribbon-cutting ceremony as work begins on an energy efficiency retrofit of the AFL-CIO headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Through a partnership with Electrical Workers (IBEW), the AFL-CIO headquarters will improve the energy efficiency by more than 20%, create more than 30,000 hours of skilled construction work, lower carbon consumption and improve the functions and comfort of the building.
The retrofit will replace and upgrade the existing windows and deploy a new lighting system, and the AFL-CIO will operate the building and its utilities more efficiently.
"We have to find ways to get the jobs engine going again and also to try to change the job mix so average wages start going up," said Clinton. "This is a big deal. We can create jobs that pay above-average wages—to do things that need doing—that will be benefiting the next generation for 30 or 40 years, that actually have a self-financing mechanism."
The commitment announced two years ago is intended to encourage both workers' capital and skilled labor to contribute to large-scale investments in the reconstruction of America's built environment. These projects, the AFL-CIO believes, will result in at least $10 billion in workers' capital invested in this area within five years, stimulating job-creating infrastructure projects across the country.
The AFL-CIO also committed to at least $40 million to stoke the development of a commercial and industrial energy efficiency retrofit market, as well as a commitment to upgrade the skills of 100,000 tradespeople and enroll 40,000 new apprentices.
As part of these commitments and through a partnership with the IBEW, the AFL-CIO committed $4.8 million in financing to retrofit its own headquarters. The retrofit, managed by McKinstry, a nationally recognized energy services corporation, will increase the federation headquarters efficiency by 20%, save more than $125,000 per year in utilities and create more than 30,000 hours of skilled construction work.
"This is another powerful example of America's workers making a difference in the lives of the people and communities they serve," said Weingarten. "Harnessing the strength of the pension funds of teachers, nurses, firefighters and other workers to rebuild our roads, schools and bridges and create the infrastructure America needs is not just a financially sound investment—it creates jobs, accelerates our economic growth and invests in the future of our nation."
McGarvey said he looked forward toward working with President Clinton's task force on infrastructure to discuss what is needed in cities and states all over the United States.
And by partnering with the Building Trades, not only do we provide the safest and most skilled workforce anywhere in the world through our jointly managed training programs, we can also bring our financial resources to bear during this time of tight federal, state and municipal budgets.
At the end of the day, this is all about the workers. Trumka said:
Working people believe in the promise of America. We're investing our time, our energy and our resources into American projects for America's future, because that's how we make that future come true. And we have a lot of work to do. Our nation's infrastructure deficit is $3 trillion and counting. Millions need work. Pension funds need returns. All of us—workers and our unions, our pension funds, government—all need to step up and do our part.

The 5'7" ball-of-fire has proven that he's one of the hardest backs in the league to tackle and he compliments his mind-boggling power with excellent burst and the ability to score any time he touches the ball.
Jones-Drew has made his mark in the league as a tenacious runner, a dangerous receiver out of the backfield, and a consistent kickoff returner. Yes, Jones-Drew has shown that he is the complete back, but there's one label that Jones-Drew cannot draw claim to, and that is the term feature back.
In a league that has shifted towards a two-running back system, Jones-Drew has had the fortune of being paired with Fred Taylor for the first three years of his career. The two were one of the most feared running back tandems in the league over the past several years, but Taylor was cut this offseason and for the first time in his professional career, Jones-Drew will be a lead back.
"It's a little different not having (Taylor) around but we're still the same guys," said Jones-Drew. "Greg's (Jones) here, Montell (Owens), AP (Alvin Pearman) and we got a couple new guys but we're just trying to keep it going and having fun."
Being the main guy will be a change for Jones-Drew, but he said that he's up to the task and when asked if felt his role changing, he said he didn't.
"No, not at all. I'm going to do whatever they ask and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability."
Jones-Drew also said that he'll be in better shape, something that will be a necessity since he has never had to take the majority of the Jaguars' carries. Last year, Jones-Drew set a career high with 192 carries and also had a career low in yards per carry, with 4.2, which was still impressive.
With his rushing attempts sure to go up this year, Jones-Drew will now see why so many teams have adopted to the two-back system. It is getting more and more difficult for backs to stay healthy for an entire NFL season and that's why it's imperative to have some help at running back.
Given that he will have to face the rigors of being option one for the Jaguars, does the team have an adequate backup to spell Jones-Drew or replace him if he gets banged up?
As of now, the Jaguars have Greg Jones, Alvin Pearman, Chauncey Washington and Rashad Jennings.
Jones, who starts for the team at fullback, has a competent backup in Montell Owens and could switch to running back in a pinch, as he has flourished when he has been given the bulk of the carries. Still, Jones is a Pro Bowl caliber fullback and it could be difficult to move him away from the position for more than a few possessions. Washington looks to be little more than a short-yardage back though and Pearman is best as a third-down type of back.
That means the team could be banking on Rashad Jennings, a seventh-round selection from Liberty. The small school back is anything but small, as he is 6'1", 230 lbs. Jennings moves gracefully for a big back and was slated by some to go as high as the 2nd-round in this year's draft.
Jones-Drew seems to have faith in the rookie.
"I lived with him when I was down training so I know a bunch about him," added Jones-Drew. "He's a big man so he's definitely going to help us in the running game."
Whether the team is completely set at running back remains to be seen, but there is some potential brewing behind Jones-Drew on the depth chart.
The back has show in his tenure with the Jaguars that he can be dynamic, but can he handle the load as an every-down back? The odds are good that he can, but does he have enough help to give him some breaks? We'll see very soon.

text: What will the unveiling of the new U.S. $100 bill April 21 mean for the numismatic hobby? Will it mean anything? The denomination was the first of the "Big Head" notes and after it arrived in 1996, there was a spate of stories about the lack of need for a change in design and how it looked like Monopoly money. I remember running a story that showed the $100 with a Monopoly version and asked where the similarity was. Nowadays, 14 years later, the basic idea that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing needs to stay ahead of the counterfeiters, both the casual color copier fakers and the North Korean super note fakers, is not questioned. In consequence, we've seen designs changed for everything but the $1 and $2 since 1996. For the hobby, changing the designs of the circulating paper money sparked a surge of interest in the older notes. Collectors multiplied. They bid up prices for paper money and this corner of the hobby boomed. We've come down off the 2008 highs and perhaps this next change to the $100 will mark the next wave of changes for all denominations and the next wave of growth for paper money collecting. If that in fact happens, collectors will look back on 2010 as a time they should have been aggressively buying collectible paper money. What comes after the Big Head $100 might just be opportunity.

The Ten Best (and the Ten Worst) Bond Girls
The Ten Worst show is here, and I have to say that I'm seriously upset with the #1, though I had a feeling who it would be. Let me just say that this woman's stunning portrayal of a nuclear physicist would have won her an Oscar if there were any justice or if the members of the so-called Academy of Motion Picture Arts weren't jealous of her abundant . . . talents. Envy is so sad.
And in case you need yet another list, here's one of the Top Ten Deaths in the Bond movies.
5 comments:
I suspect the 10 Best inclusion you liked was Miss Lotte Lenya, and I rather like it as well.
However, the specimen who put Carole Bouquet on the Best list ought to be fed to the piranhas -- her zombiefied performance was the big flaw in the best of the Roger Moores. Maud Adams belongs on the Best List, Jill StJohn, sole genuine redhead, should be moved up near the top. And shouldn't Lois Maxwell be on the Best list as well?
Art Scott - 10:10 AM
- Bill said...
You are, of course, correct about Lotte Lenya. As for the othre comments, I can't really argue with you, especially about Jill St. John.
Most memorable bit part and best/worst character name, even among the rich pickings here ("Chew Mee" in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN): Francoise Therry
- Brent McKee said...
I do have to agree that the absence of the beloved original Miss Moneypenny - who waited for James with those most kissable lips, and presumably other good parts - is a crime and a shame. Particularly when Halle Berry is included. And I'm sorry, but if you're going to include Lotte Lenya as Rosa Kleb then you have to at least mention Grace Jones. As for worst, well maybe there should be a place for Jane Seymour as the virginal Bond girl.
Gotta agree with you & Art about Rosa Klebb.
And I agree with whoever listed Lois Chiles & Lynn-Holly Johnson on the worst.
And of course Denise was robbed. - 3:42 PM

Autographing books
If you're published, how do you sign your books? Is there a saying you always write? Do you include the recipient's name?
And if you're an unpublished writer like me, how will you sign your book when your dream becomes a reality. Notice I said "when" not "if." (Smiles)
I see that sometimes people sign the cover rather than an inside page. I suppose by signing the cover other people can see that you have an autographed copy more easily, if that sort of thing matters to you. And I guess for the author, signing the cover saves time because her or she doesn't have to open the book.What are your thoughts on signing the cover versus signing an inside page?
4 comments:
All of my signed books were signed on the inside.. I wouldn't want it on the cover because it could wear off. It amazes me how gracious most authors are when signing.. Deb Caletti signed 3 of my books and put a different saying inside each one! So did Elizabeth Scott.
As for the name spelling, most book signings I go to will have you write your name on a sticky note suck in the page so the author doesn't have to ask for it.
I'm also psyched at the idea of signing books in the future, despite the fact that my penmanship totally sucks!Cheyanne, great idea about the sticky note. I never would have thought of that, but it's a great way to make sure the signature is where you want it and your name is spelled correctly. And thank you for making me feel "normal" about being excited about signing my book if, I mean, when that happens (God willing).

Memory Card In case some of you may know or may not know the q9c does not come with a memory card. If you are in need of one....check this out... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220260 it's a 4 gig mini card for 16.49. I got mine on Friday. Works great. They have the 8 gig version for 31.99. I had no problems with my q9c reading it. Other places charge 4x as much....
Should of did a search before purchasing...they have a thread on here for memory cards. the word on the street is Mini SD is on the way out, that's why you can get them for so cheap and they will be stopping at 8g. What we are all doing is buying the Micro SDHC and using it with a Mini SD adapter. post via Moto Q9c
What's the highest capacity micro card out. The one I got from new egg is the Mini SDHC card. Now I come to think of it, if I did not already throw away the package for the card I just received and could exchange it for the 8 gig I found after purchasing the 4 gig, I would have. But hey 4 gig for 16.00+ is still not bad.
short of loading it up with roms, videos, and music....2gb is more than enough, but i think that is precisely why people get bigger ones, but i also have an ipod video so heh
