10.5 Fsp
Carri Seargent
10.5 is a 2004 disaster film directed by John Lafia which aired as a television miniseries in the United States on May 2, 2004, and May 3, 2004.[1] The plot focuses on a series of catastrophic earthquakes along the United States west coast, culminating in one measuring 10.5 on the Richter scale.
The film begins in the Seattle, Washington area with increasingly severe earthquake activity. A quake of magnitude 7.9 is measured at the Earthquake centre, where Dr. Samantha Hill takes command, displacing Dr. Jordan Fisher. U.S. President Paul Hollister and FEMA Director Roy Nolan are informed about the situation.
A magnitude 8.4 earthquake opens a crack which engulfs an entire train east of Redding, California. As a result, Governor Carla Williams, who has just seen her daughter and ex-husband off on a camping trip, agrees to help the Governor of Washington. Amanda Williams and her father Clark Williams arrive at a town named Browning, where everything is covered in a thick red haze. They discover a car with a dead family inside, and are nearly trapped in quicksand.
Roy Nolan constructs a task force of the best geologists and seismologists, including Dr. Fisher and Dr. Hill. Dr. Hill mentions her Hidden Fault theory and is eventually given permission to prove it. She and Dr. Fisher visit a lake, where they see some animals that died from carbon monoxide poisoning and are almost poisoned themselves.
Back at the Task Force Center, Dr. Hill predicts that the next quake will be near San Francisco, California. It is deemed too risky to evacuate the entirety of San Francisco, which is eventually devastated by a 9.2 magnitude earthquake. After that, Dr. Hill predicts the next quake will happen at the San Andreas fault, which would wipe out the West Coast in its present shape killing 50 million people on the way. Dr. Hill hypothesizes that they could "weld" the fault shut by letting it experience immense heat, which could only be created with nuclear bombs.
The President, after some deliberation, follows Nolan's advice to execute Dr. Hill's plan and allows the placement of the nuclear warheads. Additionally, he gives the order to evacuate the entire West Coast in case it fails and mobilizes all resources available for it.
Five of the six nuclear bombs have been successfully installed, but during the installation of the sixth, an earthquake occurs, and a warhead is lost. Nolan tries to set it manually, but is pinned by the warhead.
The Williams find a truck carrying survivors, and they are transported to Tent City, which has been set up for the refugees. In a wounded San Francisco, Carla Williams and her assistant Rachel are trapped under a wall. Carla survives, but Rachel is killed.
Deciding that nothing can be done about the lost sixth warhead, Dr. Hill decides to continue with the fault welding plan and detonate the first five. The sixth is activated by Nolan who manages to reach the control panel just in time, but is himself vaporized.
It seems to work, until Dr. Hill, concerned about southern California, observes a river flowing backwards, draining into the open fault. The last warhead was not deep enough when it exploded and Southern California is still in danger. Shortly after, a massive earthquake occurs. Eventually, the crack reaches Tent City and peaks at 10.5. When the earthquake stops, the survivors see that the southwestern coast of California has been cut away, forming a new island.
The film was nominated for a 2004 Emmy Award in the category of "Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special" and a 2005 NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special". It was awarded the "Award of Distinction" from the Australian Cinematographers Society in the category of "Telefeatures, TV Drama & Mini Series".
In response to the airing of 10.5, the Southern California Earthquake Center added a section to their website about the science depicted in the film. Referring to it as "a miniseries with major errors", the site lists various events that occur during the film and explains why they are incorrect.[3]

The pan is the best pan I ever had, I accepted the $80USD shipping to Europe and even then it would be worth it, but was surprised to have Fedex slap on addition VAT and service charges. The total cost ate away what this (otherwise good pan) is worth. I am complaining because if stargazer would really want to, they could pull off exactly what "darto international" did with their pans from Argentina and provide $15 flat rate all taxes and fees included. This would substantially increase the value and be an incentive to buy more pans form stargazer, but definitely not happening at these costs.
Hello Peter,
We are thrilled that you are enjoying your Stargazer skillet! However, we are sorry about your experience with international shipping costs. As a result, we are going to reach out to our carrier to investigate the additional costs and improve this process in the future. In the meantime, we will issue a partial refund for your troubles. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
I have 1 year old through 100 year old skillets, all extremely smooth, some $$$$ and some grandparent hand me down treasures. All very high quality. But I have NEVER in my long life been able to make crispy fried potatoes *without extra oil*. NOW I CAN!! A couple of strips of bacon cut up, placed in a heated pan until it just starts to crisp. Add potatoes, any kind of potato, and leave it for 5 minutes, turn. Do that a couple of times (5-6 minutes and flip) and you have perfect crispy fried potatoes. EVERY TIME - No added oil!!
At my age and with arthritis I wasn't sure about yet another cast iron skillet but it sits in **pride of place** on the stove top. Thank you!
Color me IMPRESSED. And I'm so happy I got both the 10.5 and the 12.
The shape of your helper handle really does help. The hole size/shape allows me to actually "grab" and hang on to the helper handle with a towel.
(still adjusting to the concave main handle but I'm getting there. I worried about it spinning in my hand while using an oven glove. It hasn't, maybe because I added a silicone handle cover.)
Sorry about the "shouting" but I want everyone to hear this. Don't get the other ones.... This is the BEST!
I did add a couple extra seasoning cycles, just because it's a habit, and it got even better! Now a spritz of cooking spray and I can even swirl eggs! Something I've always wanted to be able to do.

The Brooklyn Kayak BKC 10.5 Pedal Drive Solo Single Kayak is an exciting updated representation of the BKC PK11! It has a plethora of features the experienced kayak fisherman or distance traveler will love while remaining compact, lightweight, and agile.
The core of the BKC 10.5 sit-on-top single pedal kayak is a streamlined roto-molded UV-protected HDPE hull measuring 10.5-feet long and 35 inches wide. It rides currents, slices through the chop, and glides over still water with effortless grace. The craft weighs only 75 pounds, so carrying it overland is easy thanks to built-in handles at the bow and stern and on either side of the hull.
But of course, it's the kayak pedal drive system that most excites; with bicycle-style pedals turning a high-efficiency propeller, you can tuck your paddle into the kayak's paddle keeper and go hands-free. The kayak pedals have adjustable straps to keep your feet secure, and the entire system can be removed for traditional paddling if you prefer or upgraded with a trolling motor for greater power and speed. The BKC 10.5 single pedal kayak can be controlled via its hand-operated rudder, which allows for sharp, precise turns or slow, wide arcs as conditions merit.
Among this kayak's other highlights is the craft's copious capacity for cargo. It features a large water-resistant hatch set into the bow and an additional compartment tucked behind the seat, both of which feature dry bag inserts and that can safely stow items such as a wallet, keys, and snacks.
The Brooklyn 10.5 single pedal kayak also has a large rear cargo area with bungee tie-down straps; this area is ideal for bulky items such as a tackle box, dry bag, or the matching 20L cooler. Scupper holes allow water to drain out of the kayak and can be sealed with included scupper plugs.
