A bash script to automate DarwinPorts upgrades
-u doesn't force an un-install when dependencies are present. If a port is dependent upon the old version you'll get an error-message that port was unable to un-install the old version along with a list of the ports that are dependent upon the old version and a suggestion to un-install these.
The only way I'm at present aware that my script can mess up is if a dependency isn't found, but that won't break your DarwonPort installation - you'll just have to do some manual work to fix the situation.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Mateo55 Company meeting Hotel was nice but the construction noise was very distracting during our meeting June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LCK72 mrs Excellent people on the phone(specifically, Shannel) and the morning Front desk on June 25. June 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Johnny650 Nice building, but room service issues Room was nice, but the rover-facing windows were really dirty. Bad enough that it wasn't worth opening the shades :( We ordered room service twice: #1 4/17 breakfast pre-order via the door-hanger card. breakfast didn't show up on time, so we called to learn they'd never gotten our order. Offered to send up a small coffee and bowl of oatmeal for $35 (pass, thanks). #2 4/18 early dinner order via phone call to room server. no problems, food was good and delivered on-time April 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JGZ2 Marginal review The electrical failure which closed down the upper level elevators for a day and a half and resulted in no electricity and air conditioning for a number of hours on the second day put quite a damper on out stay at the hotel. June 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sandman228 Very nice Hotel The Sheraton New Orleans is a very nice Hotel. Only two issues kept us from giving a higher Star rating. 1) Doors on our floor are way too loud when closing. Being in a tourist area with guests coming/going at all times of the day/night, the room doors need added padding or better closures by which to eliminate the constant slamming by most guest. 2) The elevator system, although a great attempt at moving guest in a speedy manner, appear to slow travel to/from your floor. Room was very clean and nice. August 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Carol455 Staff need a lesson in hospitality... Although the comfort of the room was really good, the hotel staff from the front desk clerk who checked me in to the security person near the elevators left a lot to be desired. The security person went so far as to tell us our room key was not for the Sheraton Hotel and asked if we were lost...Really???? I also really disliked the way the elevators work in this hotel. Super annoying that you have to enter your floor and wait for a specific car to arrive...Took forever..... April 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BAED79 Cleaning staff issue I had one issue with my stay. I had a 4-tooth bridge break off a tooth while in New Orleans so I wrapped it in a napkin and left it on my dresser. One of the cleaning staff threw it away when they cleaned my room. As I told the manager, they should not be throwing away anything on the dressers or vanity counters until people check out of their room. I now have to go through the expense of replacing it with implants, but they can't use the old bridge to help with making the new teeth. March 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Snapper08 Communication is a must I recently visited the New Orleans Sheraton for the American Dental Association conference. My first time at this Sheraton. After Check-in, I enter my room to find an unclean room. Initially, I was fearful because I thought the room was occupied. Not a wonderful first impression. Took about 20 min to get the situation in order. Could not stay on the club level floor, due to no other king rooms. I appreciate the bottle of wine given. But, I feel these types of mistakes should not occur in a Sheraton. November 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dawn5 Great location This hotel was within walking distance to the French Quarter and Riverwalk. It was true Sheraton standards. Friendly staff, comfy beds, very clean, and safe. June 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by TTRiii Beware of the elevators During our stay the elevators to the upper floors did not work. The staff tried very hard to make up for the inconvenience but it did not really ease the fact that we couldn't get to our rooms at times. June 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Obi25 NOLA EXPERIENCE The Sheraton New Orleans was a great place to stay. Walking distance to everything in the area. The staff was excellent and very nice. My tub was stopped up in one room and they moved me to another room no problem. I will definitely be staying there when I return. June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lyn24 Overall good experience The hotel itself was great as far as the rooms and service are concerned. The only negative aspect of my stay was the food provided by the Sheraton at the conference. One would assume that any item an organization chooses from the menu would actually taste good regardless but that was not the case. The continental breakfast should include at least 1 hot item. Lunch/Dinner plating was not plating and further more lacked flavor. Honestly, I've had better food from Sodexo. April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RedBaron Best Bar Experience in Years The hotel itself is great - location, facilities, staff. But the reason I wanted to write this review for my 9 May stay is to praise bartender Del. Del's great personality, wit and humor made for a great evening. We were planning on just having a drink and then heading out, but we had such a great time with Del at the bar, we stayed 'til the wee hours. Many thanks to Del, and I hope to see him again next time I'm in town. May 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by bookworm101 A couple of glitches but overall a pleasant stay The club upgrade is worth every penny! Bartender in lobby bar (Pelican) ignored me for quite some time (solo woman traveler), when I reported to management I was offered (and declined) a comp drink. As a solo woman traveler, I did not care for the auto elevators. When the hairs on the back of neck signal me, I get off of an elevator quickly at a floor other than my own. These elevators do not permit this and on some floors a voice announces the floor you selected before you enter the elevator. Housekeeping decided for me that I did not wish room serviced (they hung the "green" card on the door). I was attending a conference and at the usual banquet the décor and food far exceeded expectations. I normally avoid the conference hotel and stay at a boutique type facility nearby. Tulane's graduation at the time of my stay prevented this in NOLA. I was pleasantly surprised by the Sheraton. May 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by cwujd1 Nice Remodeling; Restaurant needs work I was here several years ago and it's completely different now. The lobby space is very open and inviting. I particularly liked the art on the inside and outside of the building. The restaurant was a big disappointment in this great food town. We stopped in for a quick lunch and were met with a very small menu, especially for one of us with wheat and other allergies. We became optimistic upon reading a note at the bottom of the menu describing the "great pride" they took in accommodating guests with gluten sensitivities. When we asked what the choices were, the server went went back to check with the kitchen and came back to inform us that "only the trout" was gluten free. I'm sorry -- that doesn't count as "accommodating." They should take that note off the menu. We left and ate elsewhere. September 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NOLA13 Better than I expected The hotel was better than I expected. It was beautiful, clean and conveniently located. August 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Stephfo1 Disappointed Where to start, I arrived Wednesday, April 23rd, to room 3024, it was very nice. I woke up the next am to two cockaroaches in my room when I got back from the gym. I called and spoke to Brandon, the supervisor who informed me he would moved me immediately and I should pack up. Then called back to say a room wouldn't be ready until later. But I had rushed and in my haste forgot a very expensive running bra, which was never found. Then at the end of the day I went to check into new room but it had never been made up. They had someone make it up immediately, but they only made the bed. So then I was moved to yet another room that was clean and bug free. But unfortunately my running garment was never found and I was not happy. Oh and Billy, Director of lost and found and something else, said he would get back to me to follow up and he still hasn't. April 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by CUPA14 NIce, but... The hotel was nice, but I didn't feel it was very clean. The pillows looked stained and dirty, there was an annoying pecking sound that went on three nights, the dog across the hall would bark, and even thought I used the Green initiative, the staff did not supply wash cloths, coffee, and cups as they should have. I had to call them two different days to ask for supplies. The food prices were too high, especially in the bar. $12 for a house wine is a bit much! April 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Annaj0013 Great conference option The food was way better than typical conference food. The drinks were good but very expensive. Easy walk to just about everything. Loved the decor! The light closest to the closet was out in my room for 2 days (reported multiple times) before I finally caught a room attendant who just traded my burned out lightbulb with my neighbor. Hopefully, they got it serviced quicker than I was able to! May 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by conference27 A big corporation should be good with 2 reservations room nice,comfy beds,very clean. + green rewards. Great location. staff friendly. work conference then decided to stay extra night with my dad to sight see (two reservations). His name on second reservation. But the front desk would not check him in, maybe misunderstood 2nd res. So we got it sorted out, another two nights keep us in same room obviously. If in computer should be good, so why next morning I have to remind front desk again? staff not clear on where use green rewards for also. October 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Crash57 Nice Place The staff were excellent and the accommodations very good. Other than the loss of the elevators it was a good stay. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MFG8888 The Sheraton at Mardi Gras We had a wonderful time staying at the Sheraton on Canal Street for the weekend before Mardi Gras. The facility and staff are first rate, and the location is perfect. Access to our vehicle was always prompt; checkout on Sunday morning, while chaotic at other hotels in the area, was very fast and smooth. My only complaint was the charge for internet access. We paid premium rates for this time block and a minimum stay; loading internet fees on top of this is just a bit greedy. March 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Damiano It was a long week Failure of elevators, inoperable restrooms. Staff tried but just no way to overcome this. June 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by MSMontana Lots of Issues... The elevators were down alot of the time. NOISY....No restrooms on our conference floor. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 Very nice stay I was sort of hesitant about this hotel after reading some of the reviews...but I can honestly say most of the reviews on here are not correct. The hotel was very nice, the room was clean and also very comfortable. The only negative I have about this stay is the buffet breakfast price...it was almost $50 for 2 breakfast buffets...that was crazy in my opinion...very OVER priced...but other than that...I would stay here again, and find another place to go eat for breakfast! February 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DenMother 2nd visit wasn't as nice as the first I stayed in the New Orleans Sheraton a few months ago and had a wonderful experience. My second visit wasn't as nice. There weren't enough outlets in my room. Although the night stand by the bed was equipped with built in outlets, the cord to make the work wasn't long enough to reach the plug. And, most important, the water temperature was insufficient; it was lukewarm at best. I prefer a hot shower over a cold shower. On a positive note, the bartenders was friendly and helpful. December 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by ConferenceGuest22 Didn't meet expectations I attended a conference in this hotel. I originally reserved a king bed room, but was placed in a double bed room. I had to wait for the room for over two hours upon arrival. The room was so small, that I couldn't easily move between the desk and one of the beds - of which I needed to use since this was a work trip. Half my outlets didn't work, and the ones that did blew a fuse any time I tried to use a hair dryer. The conference spaces were not ideal as many had to be turned away from sessions because the rooms were too small. The restaurant was only open for breakfast and lunch, which were provided by the conference, so I was forced to find food elsewhere. Transportation to and from the airport was not very convenient. Compared to other Sheraton Hotels I've stayed in, this was far below my expectations. October 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by tc14 great location, comfortable and clean The hotel was clean and the staff excellent. The room was comfortable and relatively quiet. One disappointment - the main restaurant in the hotel closes at 2pm and not open for dinner. With bad weather outside and a need for a quiet evening, this was a problem during the stay. June 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DWills Off their game I have stayed at this property before without these problems, but my one-night stay this week was marked with problems. 1) The toilet had not been cleaned since the prior guest and had old urine stains on the bowl. 2) When I asked for someone to clean this up, no one showed up the first time (after waiting 30 minutes). 3) All three coffee packets in the room were decaf. 4) I told two separate people I would be checking out around noon, yet was interrupted again after that prior to noon the morning that I left (I was on calls). 4) I had to call to have an internet access fee removed from my invoice after that was chosen that as my Gold SPG membership perk at check-in. Staff was unfailingly pleasant, but training or procedures clearly need work - this was the most hassle-ridden hotel stay I have had in years. September 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coney9 Great downtown hotel This Sheraton met all our expectations. We had a wonderful club level room. The hotel is a short walk to the French Quarters and quite close to everything you would like to see. The lobby is very spacious with a large bar and seating area. The cost of parking is expensive ($47.00 per day) and typical of large downtown hotels. Overall, the hotel is perfect for your visit to New Orleans. May 14, 2014

President Obama took questions from reporters on Thursday afternoon as he seeks to regain his political balance in dealing with controversies on multiple fronts and rising expressions of outrage from his Republican adversaries on Capitol Hill.
The White House news conference at noon in the Rose Garden was designed as an opportunity for Mr. Obama to take questions following his meeting in the morning with Recip Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister of Turkey.
But given the developments this week on controversies surrounding the president's administration, reporters focused on the Justice Department seizure of journalists' phone records, the I.R.S. targeting of conservative groups and the e-mails about last year's attacks in Benghazi.

The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Science Policy News
Number 167: December 18, 1998
"New Forces at Work: Industry Views Critical Technologies"
Earlier this week the Office of Science and Technology Policy
released a report by the newly-named Science and Technology
Policy Institute (formerly the Critical Technologies Institute)
on critical technologies. The 155-page report, "New Forces at
Work: Industry Views Critical Technologies," provides thoughtful
analysis of the responses of 39 senior corporate executives to
the question, "What technologies are critical to your
While many technologies were cited, the following were mentioned
most frequently: software, microelectronics and
telecommunications technologies, advanced manufacturing
technologies, materials, and sensor and imaging technologies.
Regarding software, the report states, "Leading the list was
concern over software as being both a potential enabler of
industrial development and a serious bottleneck to it. No other
technology area came close to matching it for frequency of
citation as a crucial link in the individual firm's internal
process or means of production." A related concern was shortages
of skilled employees.
In discussing materials, the report says the following: "Driving
the widespread interest in this area was anticipation of near-term,
technology-driven developments down the cost curve...that
would permit the wider application of new materials -- both
structurally and functionally (as components conveying new
capabilities)." Later, the report notes, "Ceramics and
composites (including polymers) recurred as the principal areas
of general interest." "Presently, the costs of production and
post-production machining prohibit the wider exploitation of the
properties inherent in ceramics and many composites."
Respondents were also asked about critical technologies for the
larger society. Here the report states, "when asked what
technologies they thought would transform industries and
economies in the future, biotechnology led the list across the
range of interviews."
The report gives considerable attention to the sometimes
controversial issue of the appropriate role of government in R&D.
The Executive Summary includes the following:
"Perhaps surprisingly, there was little concern about government
overstepping its traditional bounds and meddling in business
concerns. More often, there was a desire that the government
continue to contribute in areas in which it was perceived by some
to be faltering: especially in funding higher education and basic
research. The aspects of the current government role --
providing leadership, supporting basic and high-risk research,
and ensuring an economic, legal, and regulatory environment
conducive to innovative activity -- were widely thought to be
appropriate." "As the government role became viewed as being
more narrowly focused on specific development areas, responses
shared less agreement that such a role was appropriate." It is
notable the analysis found that "what firms think the government
ought to do and what the actual numbers on federal outlays
suggest it does, track each other fairly closely." A later
chapter explores government funding in the context of type of
research, functional area of research, degree of targeting, and
cost-sharing and other arrangements.
The report, the fourth in a series, contains much useful
information and food for thought. It can be accessed at

The Commemorative Air Force's ("CAF") Airbase Arizona Aviation Museum, located at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona, announced plans today for its Seventh Annual Gathering of Legends, an event celebrating the service of military aviators and flight crews instrumental in preserving the Nation's heritage of freedom.
This year, aviation veterans of WWII, Korea and Vietnam representing noted groups such as the Tuskegee Airmen, Women's Airforce Service Pilots ("WASPS"), World War II fighter aces, former RAF Cadets who trained at Falcon Field in World War II, bomber crews, Forward Air Controllers and others will be on hand to share their experiences with attendees.
The Airbase is privileged to include among the Legends in attendance honorees inducted into the Airbase's Military Aviation Walk of Honor, a prominent feature of the Museum, including two Medal of Honor recipients: Colonel Bruce P. Crandall (U. S. Army, ret.) and Major Fred Ferguson (U.S. Army, ret.); as well as Mr. Sergei Sikorsky and retired U. S. Navy Rear Admirals Lew Chatham and Hugh Dennis Wisely. More on these Legends' background can be found at http://azcaf.org//pages/woh_inductees.html.
This unique Veteran's Day weekend commemoration starts off on Monday evening, November 10, 2014, when Airbase Arizona hosts its Dinner With The Legends, to be held at the Airbase's unique Aviation Museum at Falcon Field (located at 2017 N. Greenfield Road Mesa). Colonel Bruce Crandall will deliver the keynote address at the Dinner.
New Prescott Business Represented Best in Arizona Aviation and Technology At World's Biggest Air Show
X-Copter, Prescott's newest aviation business and helicopter aviation's newest simulation company, exhibited and demonstrated its next generation helicopter flight simulator at the world's largest airshow in Oshkosh, Wi., during AirVenture 2014. The airshow attracted record crowds of over 500,000 spectators and 10,000 aircraft between July 28 - August 3rd.
After thousands of flight testing hours, X-Copter pre-viewed its generation-one helicopter training device during HELI-EXPO 2014, the helicopter industry's largest trade show. There, X-Copter is sharing features and capabilities of their simulator while anticipating approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The X-Copter is a primary flight training device for helicopter student pilots, private owners, and organizations who use helicopters in their daily operations. The simulators boast three massive 60" inch high definition screens outside the cockpit (outside view), two high definition touch screens in the cockpit, and highly customized cockpit controls.
"In addition to recent FAA approval, we are very excited about our new leasing and financing options for our customers. We will make it very easy for a flight school or individual to acquire an X-Copter," stated Brandon Frett, Dir. of Simulation.
Based at the Prescott Municipal Airport (KPRC), the company has already produced and delivered fourteen (14) production units with an additional 10 units on order and in production. "We are excited about our recent success and our presence at AirVenture 2014. There are both domestic and international opportunities and we look forward to what the future holds. Most importantly, we look forward to growing our business and bringing hi-tech jobs to the region," remarks Frett.
X-Copter currently offers helicopter flight simulation models for the Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters. In development are the popular Robinson R66, Bell, and Schweizer models.
Phoenix TRACON Says Weather Advisories Restored
Due to some quick action by a number of folks literally across the country, the Phoenix TRACON reports they now have their weather feed returned to service for Northern Arizona. Curt Faulk, Staff Manager said, "We really did believe that this was going to be a long-term situation as of yesterday afternoon. It's nice to know that we can all react quickly when we need to."
Phoenix Approach Control weather information and weather advisories limitation
As of 07/29/2014, pilots receiving air traffic control services from Phoenix Approach Control within the state of Arizona, in the areas of Prescott, Sedona and Flagstaff are cautioned that ATC radar-based weather information and weather advisories from ATC are not available because of equipment limitations. According to Curt Faulk, Staff Manager of the FAA Phoenix TRACON, the duration of this unavailability is unknown. Subsequent information will be provided when these services become available.

Transportation Complex in Tse Bonito, New Mexico, work on the comprehensive study of several of the Navajo Nation's airports, led by Armstrong Consultants, Inc., is underway.
In keeping with the strong traditions and culture of the Navajo Nation, a blessing ceremony was held before the kick-off meeting in the early morning led by Mr. Philmer Bluehouse. The meeting was attended by those directly involved in the project, including Navajo Nation government leaders and staff, federal and state agency representatives, members of the consultant team, and Chapter community members.
The Navajo Nation Airport System is comprised of six airports included in the Federal Aviation Administration's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS); likewise, ten non-NPIAS airports are also spread across the boundaries of the Navajo Nation which extends over three FAA regions (Western Pacific, Southwest, and Northwest Mountain) and three states (Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah). These airports provide vital services to the Navajo Nation and the National Airport System including air medical evacuation (medevac), business transportation, government transportation, search and rescue, tourism and economic development.
These airports currently offer varying levels of facilities and services and are in varying physical conditions. In order to provide safe and efficient airport facilities and services, and to identify and prioritize the capital, operational, and maintenance investments, the Navajo Nation has sanctioned the development of a Navajo Airports System Master Plan.
The primary purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the improvements needed to enhance safety at the airports and improve upon operating conditions. "This project is special," stated Dennis Corsi, C.M., President of Armstrong Consultants, Inc. "We [the project team] have a real opportunity to help develop great airports that will benefit the people of the Navajo Nation. We are grateful to be a part of this exciting project," Mr. Corsi also stated.
Three Arizona airports, Chinle, Tuba City, and Window Rock, and two New Mexico airports, Crownpoint and Shiprock, will be studied and analyzed as part of the project. The major stages in the process to develop the plan include an inventory and an assessment of needs of the study airports, followed by the recommended development, capital improvement, financial feasibility, and airport layout plans, and a grant program guidebook.
An extensive Public Outreach Program will provide the Navajo Nation and the local Chapters an opportunity to participate in the planning process. The Public Outreach Program will encourage information sharing and collaboration among the Navajo Nation, airport users and tenants, resource agencies, elected and appointed public officials, community members, and the general public. Several Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) and Chapter House workshops are planned over the coming months.
The ASMP will help enable the Navajo Nation to secure funding for much needed improvements at the Navajo Nation airports. The Navajo Division of Transportation has been one of the driving forces behind the project since its inception. Arlando Teller, Program Manager for the Navajo D.O.T., expressed his enthusiasm about the start of the project when he stated, "Navajo D.O.T. is thrilled to have been instrumental in moving this project forward. The end result will be a working document that will offer guidance to the Nation's airport capital improvement program."
Sky Harbor Offers Timely Tips for July 4th Holiday Travel
July is a busy travel time at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and passenger traffic for the July Fourth Holiday is expected to peak before the holiday on July 2nd and 3rd and after on July 6. America's Friendliest Airport® has several travel tips to make your trip easier and more enjoyable.
Save Money with Convenient Parking - Prepaid Discount Parking gives travelers the opportunity to park in the terminal garage at a reduced price. Travelers can avoid the summer sun by booking and prepaying for their parking using an easy online reservation system. Discounted parking is available in the Terminal 2, Terminal 3, or Terminal 4 garages. Those using Prepaid Discount Parking should take a ticket when entering the garage, then present the ticket and the prepaid parking confirmation (printed or on a smartphone) to the cashier upon exit. To reserve parking, visit skyharbor.com/prepaidparking.
Check your bags before arriving at the terminal – Early Bag Check is a handy service that gives travelers flying American, Southwest or US Airways the opportunity to check their bags before they arrive at Terminal 4 and avoid the ticket counter lines. The service is available at East Economy Parking, the 44th Street PHX Sky Train Station® and at the Rental Car Center. Early Bag Check is free, though airline bag fees still apply. For additional information, including hours of operation at each location, visit skyharbor.com/earlybagcheck
Additional important travel tips:
- Arrive at the Airport two hours before your flight departs, especially if you are parking in economy areas or checking bags.
- Looking for a handy pick-up and drop-off spot? Save time by dropping off and picking up your party at the 44th Street PHX Sky Train® Station rather than at Terminal 4. The station offers Early Bag Check and kiosks to print your boarding passes. It also offers a quick, five-minute ride to Terminal 4 on the PHX Sky Train ®. Wait for your party free of charge at the Cell Phone Waiting Lot or use a four-hour parking meter to ride the train in to meet your party.

FAA Breaks Ground for New Tucson Air Traffic Control Tower
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today joined local officials in breaking ground for a new, $26 million air traffic control tower at Tucson International Airport.
At about 250 feet tall, the new tower will be more than double the height of the current tower, which is 55 years old. It will provide air traffic controllers with better airfield views and make it easier for them to determine the positions of aircraft on the ground and in the skies around the airport.
"This project is a great example of the FAA's commitment to continually reinvesting in our nation's transportation infrastructure," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "Improving our facilities and making them as environmentally friendly as possible helps maintain a cutting-edge transportation system and makes the most efficient use of taxpayer dollars."
Aviation Explorer Post Holds Annual Fundraiser
By Claire Stern
In their quest to become young aviators, Aviation Explorer Post 352 is playing a large role in educating others about aviation history. For the second year in a row, the Commemorative Air Force Airbase in Mesa, Arizona hosted the Annual Aviation Explorer Post 352 Fundraiser Dinner. The Post depends on the dinner each year to raise much-needed funds and this year they had no shortage of supporters. The CAF was filled with more than 200 people all lending their support to the Post. Through dinner, a 50/50 raffle and extensive silent auction, the Post raised $10,000 – more than ever and enough to cover the Post's flight insurance, hangar rental and also help with costs to overhaul their plane's engine.
John Magoffin was the guest speaker at this year's dinner. He knows a lot about aviation history having earned a page in the history books himself. Magoffin bought and completely rebuilt a Lockheed Vega DL-1B – the same type of plane used by Amelia Earhart to fly solo and nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. On December 17, 2013 - 110 years after the Wright Brothers' flight in Kitty Hawk – Magoffin took to the skies over Marana, Arizona in the maiden flight of his Vega - the only sole surviving example of the ten Vegas built with metal fuselages. Incredibly, it is the only flying Vega in the world today. Aviation Explorer Hunter Nedin's documentary of the flight was featured at the dinner. He captured the maiden flight through video captured by cameras attached all over the Vega. The impressive and poignant video can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuyaxL39eCw
For Magoffin, speaking at the dinner was a way for him to help educate a new generation of aviators about an important part of aviation history, "The entire set-up of the aviation system traces back to lessons learned the hard way." Magoffin heard about the Vega in Alaska in 1977, "when I got the opportunity to buy it I didn't want it to slip through my grasp." He said the rebuilding of the Vega followed what he calls the Rule of Two and Four: "It cost too much and it took forever."
Listening in the audience was 89-year-old Ken Rabbit. He recalled homesteading in Alaska more than half a century ago and remarked that Magoffin had a "great experience putting that plane together." Also in attendance was Matt Campbell of CSW Contractors Inc. CSW has been a supporter of Aviation Explorers for more than four years. While CSW's work specializes in aviation projects, Matt also has his son in mind thinking that Aviation Explorers may be in the future for seven-year-old Kyle, "If kids have an interest in aviation, this is a good opportunity." Other major donors were the CAF which donated the use of the hanger as well as Corporate Contributing Member Banicki Construction.
This year marks a big change for Post 352, after more than 18 years, founder Harold Bliss is stepping down as Post Advisor. He and his wife Marcia – who has been the Post's Secretary and Treasurer – have decided to spend more time traveling. They are turning the controls over to Bennett Sloan (previously the Associate Advisor) who will serve as Post Advisor and Paul Thompson who is the Associate Advisor. Both men have sons who are active Explorers. Paul's son Austin was one of four Aviation Explorers from the Post that soloed in the last year and Bennett's son Stephen is now an Acting Adult Advisor. Stephen says Aviation Explorers taught him a lot about responsibility and taking initiative - especially when it came to earning his private pilot's license, "It is a self-paced program and I realized that if I didn't do it soon I wasn't going to do it." Stephen earned his license in May 2013.
Bennett is looking forward to the year ahead and has some additional goals for the Post. First and foremost, attracting more students - particularly younger students (the minimum age is 14) and girls. He'd also like to "bolster" the maintenance side of the Post. Although the organization has plenty of flight and ground school instructors, he says they could use "two or three additional qualified and available A&P's. If something happens to the plane, we can't immediately drop everything to run out to the hangar and fix it – we all have full time jobs!"
Along with learning the intricacies of flight and aviation mechanics, the Explorers also go on numerous field trips each year and help field marshal at air shows. In the year ahead, the Post is planning a trip to Las Vegas for the Red Bull Air Races and five more Explorers are on track to get their private pilot's licenses.
For more information about Aviation Explorer Post 352, for details about volunteer opportunities, or to make a donation to the 501(c)(3) organization, call Bennett Sloan at 602-316-0588 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Arizona Airports Holds Annual Conference in Yuma
The 2014 Annual Arizona Airports Association (AzAA) "Dutch Bertholf" Spring Conference was held in Yuma, AZ, April 27-30 at the Yuma Hilton Garden Inn and Pivot Point Conference Center. The Yuma Airport Authority hosted the event that saw more than 130 in attendance.
"The Spring Conference is always a great conference as it truly balances technical learning, networking and fun," said Jordan Feld, AzAA's outgoing president and Tucson Airport Authority employee, "but I honestly feel this year's conference was one of the best conferences I've ever attended." Feld said that Conference Chairperson Gladys Wiggins and her team did an outstanding job ensuring the program and events were top-notch. "I can't recall feeling so immediately and meaningfully connected to the local community as was the case in Yuma."
At the conference, Barney Helmick, Airport Director of the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, was elected as AzAA's new president. Topics presented at the conference included FAA and ADOT Updates, a session on Unique Partnerships in Aviation, Aviation Industry Updates & Trends, Facility Management and Putting Social Media to Work. A tour was also held of Yuma Int'l Airport.
Feld, who will assume the role of Immediate Past President, said the highlight of his presidency this past year was watching the Spring Conference unfold. "Words cannot describe the pride and humility I felt watching our volunteers, sponsors, venue staff, and others team-up and achieve success." With great sadness, Feld said they are saying goodbye to their long-standing Administrative Director this year. Michael Covalt retired after seven years at the post. "His retirement meant much of the Board's work this year focused on finding a suitable replacement," said Feld. "I believe the Board's efforts have ensured our family will be able to move forward and continue to grow."
This past year the association also launched the new AzAA website. Kevin Shirer, Woolpert Project Director and AzAA Webmaster, led the effort from beginning to end through countless hours of highly technical effort. "Kevin's commitment and passion for AzAA, like that of so many of our members, will always be in my memories as I now join the ranks of AzAA's Past Presidents," said Feld. "Looking forward, President Helmick is a natural leader and I have no doubt that he will lead AzAA with the enthusiasm and strategic-thought he has demonstrated throughout his career."
Embry-Riddle Prescott Teams with Wichita State on Airline Quality Rating Release
U.S. airline performance in 2013 was the highest since 1991, according to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Wichita State University researchers who presented the 24th annual Airline Quality Rating (AQR) today (Monday, April 7) during a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Of the 15 carriers rated for performance in both 2012 and 2013, eight airlines improved, six airlines declined and one is new to the rankings.
The Airline Quality Rating (AQR) is a joint research project funded as part of faculty research activities at Wichita State University, Wichita, Kansas and this year for the first time, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Ariz., Campus.
The industry improved in two of the four elements of the AQR: involuntary denied boardings and customer complaints. However, performance declined in on-time performance and baggage handling in 2013.
The airline industry has performed well in recent years, according to the researchers. In addition to 2013 being the best year ever, Dean Headley, associate professor of marketing at the W. Frank Barton School of Business at Wichita State University, says the strong performance by Delta shows that a large, merged airline is able to compete with the best performing smaller airline.
"Bigger hasn't always been better, but in Delta's case we are seeing a large airline perform at levels usually only seen by smaller low-fare carriers."
The AQR score reflects commendable efforts by the airline industry to serve customers in a capacity-limited air travel system.
"When you look at the past 14 years, you find that the airline industry performs most efficiently when the system isn't stressed by high passenger volume and high number of airplanes in the air," said Headley. "With continued capacity limits and consolidation, one would hope that a less congested system would perform better.
"The challenge is whether airline performance quality improvements at this level can be maintained as more people choose to fly. Or does the infrastructure and air traffic control technology limit what the airlines can actually do?"
Dr. Brent Bowen, Dean of College of Aviation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Prescott, Ariz., Campus, said, "While airline operational performance is at an all-time record high, this does not translate to customers being happy. "Because airlines are solving operational issues and advancing in AQR elements, it is time to begin a new focus on serving travelers and expanding customer service.
"These results show that airlines that intend to do better, are doing better and improving. Those losing focus have declined. "With all this good news, the flying public should be informed of and alarmed about the very real pilot shortage caused by congressional mandate and the looming personnel crisis in Air Traffic Control because of arbitrarily changing hiring rules that eliminate the most qualified applicants," said Bowen, who took the position at Embry-Riddle last year.

This month marks 50 years since President Johnson signed the Wilderness Act, establishing a "National Wilderness Preservation System for the permanent good of the whole people, and for other purposes" (Public Law 88-577 [PDF]).
The 6.0 earthquake that hit the Napa Valley and destroyed some barrels of wine had a predictable aftereffect: the trotting out of the uncommon word temblor. Temblor is the favorite second-reference word among journalists for earthquake, and it seems to have little utility elsewhere.
I tweeted this bit of advice on the word, which is sometimes rendered incorrectly as tremblor (both tremble and temblor trace their roots to the Latin tremulus).
In the era of Facebook and Twitter we're reposting all the time, so it's no surprise a fellow editor would see someone refer to a clever repost instead of a clever riposte.
The word repost is a natural formation that goes back hundreds of years: To repost is simply to post again. Post, as in mail, referred originally to travel by relay of horses. But you could probably ask someone in the 17th century to repost a sign that fell down and you'd be understood.
I recently and unexpectedly acquired a Butterfly, a 12-foot sailing dinghy, and immediately signed up for lessons at a nearby sailing club. I've always had an interest, but now I need to learn my sheet from my stay and my bow from my aft.
I don't casually browse dictionaries as often as I once did, but I'm still thrilled at moment of serendipity, when the dictionary yields a new word and distracts me from what I was supposed to be doing.
Today, I discovered wordhoard, a store of words and, therefore, the vocabulary of a person, group of people or an entire language. It may be an obvious compound, but it existed (without the a) in Old English.
The first time someone wrote luxurious, in a story called Arthur and Merlin, he meant lascivious, lecherous or unchaste, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. That was around 1330. Arthur and Merlin, by the way, also gives us the first recorded use of the insult biche-sone, or son of a bitch.
My British kin sniff at the American use of soccer for football, and so I am quick to point out the British origin of the word. Purists will always express impatience with those who don't keep up with the lingo, but there is nothing inherently wrong with the wonderful word soccer.
I have a habit of hearing words in conversation that strike me as nonstandard and then losing the run of conversation while I mull things over in my head. Occupational hazard, I suppose. Digitalization was the most recent word to throw me off as I thought about the differences and commonalities of computer code and fingers and obsolete heart medication.
After author, poet, actor, singer, speaker, educator, activist and editor Maya Angelou died Wednesday at 86, one of the more obvious adjectives used to describe her was phenomenal. One of her many poems was Phenomenal Woman from 1978:
Now you understandJust why my head's not bowed.I don't shout or jump aboutOr have to talk real loud. …
Now you understandJust why my head's not bowed.I don't shout or jump aboutOr have to talk real loud. …
The New York Public Library, a feat of architecture and public access, was dedicated on May 23, 1911. It was exactly 16 years after the Astor and Lenox libraries agreed to combine with the Tilden Trust to create a truly "free library and reading room" as envisioned by former governor Samuel Tilden when he made his $2.4 million bequest. On May 24, the day after the dedication, the NYPL opened to the public. Between 30,000 and 50,000 people visited on that first day.

42 minutes in the movie, we see Todd Verow's butt and then Todd Verow naked in the shower with Michael Burke. We see in that scene Michael Burke's penis and butt.
Nathan Adloff, Taylor Reed and Joe Swanberg in Blackmail Boys (2010)
Right from the very beginning of the movie, we see Taylor Reed and Nathan Adloff playing gay web cam. We don't see Nathan fully nude there, but we do see Taylor Reed jerking his big cut dick on the computer screen. Later in the movie, we see Nathan Adloff running on a treadmill. He is only wearing a jock strap so we get a close-up view at his butt. 15 minutes in the movie, Nathan Adloff and Taylor Reed are making love. Nathan takes Taylor's pants and underwear off, and in very close-up, we see Taylor Reed big cut dick in great details.
Ryan Steele and Reed Luplau in Five Dances (2013)
Pio Marmaï in Bazar (2009)
We get to see Pio Marmaï naked in details in this movie. He stands naked in a kitchen and in bed, letting us admire his amazing dick. He has a nice long uncut penis, with a long and tight foreskin. His pubes are untrimmed. In bed, his penis is also very impressive and appears even longer. Maybe he was a little excited.
John Ort and Gregory Marcel in Sun Kissed (2006)
This is quite a nice movie.
7 minutes in the movie, there are some nice bulge scenes in swim suit from John Ort and Gregory Marcel.
51 minutes in the movie, John Ort and Gregory Marcel undress and make love.
We first see John Ort's smooth butt.
Then we see Gregory Marcel's butt.
52 minutes in the movie, for a few frames, we see John Ort soft cut penis.
We also see Gregory Marcel's balls.
69 minutes in the movie, we see Gregory Marcel's butt again.

It depends what you want them for, street cred or listening to music. Judging by your choices your going by name and they are all over you price range anyway (to get real ones)

As I recall, my passport had a picture on it. How much time would it add to the process to compare the person standing in front of you with the picture?Maybe they just don´t do it because after hours of looking at peoples faces they all probably start to blur. This needs to be automated. A machine compares the picture on the displayed passport and if it doesn´t match, a trap door opens up and into the alligator pit he goes... Pretty soon the stolen passport business sort of fades away.

Visit an established local favorite for food and fun at Coakley's Restaurant and Irish Pub in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Coakley's Restaurant and Irish Pub, gem of the Harrisburg area's West Shore for more than thirty-five years, is a favorite with locals for its charming atmosphere and friendly service. You'll feel like you're in the heart of Ireland.
HistoryRichard and Sue Coakley purchased the pub more than 33 years ago when it was New Cumberland Olde Towne Tavern. The Coakley's spent the ensuing years renovating, upgrading, and expanding. Today, their restaurant and pub is a staple of New Cumberland. Some even say it's the unofficial headquarters of the Pittsburgh Steelers™.
In 2008, Tim Hogg purchased Coakley's Restaurant and Irish Pub. Tim and the staff immediately set to improving the service, selection, and atmosphere, while maintaining the charm residents grew to love over the years. A healthy children's menu was added to counteract the predictable fare offered at most restaurants. J. Thomas O'Malley, Tobacconist came into being after smoking was banned in food establishments. An outdoor sidewalk seating option was added in 2010 and two outdoor decks were built in 2010 and 2011. Additionally, the main menu was revised to cater to the increasingly avant-garde tastes for original and well-prepared dishes.
Banquets and Catering In addition to an excellent well-prepared menu, Coakley's has additional rooms available for banquets and various events. We will cater your event or special occasion. Coakley's can accommodate both large and small groups.
Be on the lookout for our upcoming outdoor dining, our new banquet offerings, as well as a great new wine list. All of us at Coakley's hope you enjoy the experience of dining at Coakley's as much as we enjoy providing that experience.

" Bose Companion 2 Series II - PC multimedia speakers "
Amazing sound quality. I usually use it with my laptop and my ipod, to watch movies or to listen to music. The sound is balanced and very clean. The bass is also very good and rich. It definitely makes watching TV shows or movies on the laptop a much better experience. Volume control is also very easy, you just turn the knob on the speaker. These speakers are supposed to be used with desktop PC or laptops, and as PC speakers go, the quality is definitely beyond satisfactory. Set up is also very easy - the booklet inside gives very clear instructions as to which wire goes into which port. I could do it myself despite usually being quite useless at these things, so that's saying something...
I would have given this product a 5 for its price, reliability and sound quality. But one minor thing is the mobile phone interference that I'm getting... Everytime I get a call or text, my speakers seem to predict it for me. This could get annoying after a while, so usually I just place my phone VERY far away from the speakers to prevent this from happening. Would be better if they could improve this, though I'm not sure if this is inevitable even with other brands of speakers. I never had this problem when I used to have an ipod dock speaker (though, the sound quality with that one was appalling).
I got these a year and a bit ago, and I've already forgotten the price. But I had a quick look around and find these at £99 on amazon with free delivery - amazing value for this quality! I think that is definitely cheaper than what I paid. So if you're looking for basic speakers with superb sound quality for your computer, look no further!
The Companion 2 Series II multimedia speaker system represents a significant upgrade in sound and style over original equipment computer speakers. Enjoy sharp, expansive sound for music, movies and games. These sleek and compact speakers fit easily in their surroundings to save useful desk space. Dual inputs make it a snap to connect your computer and portable audio sources at the same time. Both volume and the headphone jack reside on the front of one speaker to provide easy control over your listening experience.
Odds are, your computer is a primary source of entertainment. So why rely on standard computer speakers with so much rich content at your fingertips? Step up to Companion 2 speakers and unleash your computer's true potential with powerful, full-range sound for CDs, DVDs, MP3s, streaming videos, games and more.
Companion 2 speakers deliver both the subtleties in your music and the rousing resonance of movie and game sound effects. Think of them as giving new voice to your computer. And with Bose TrueSpace stereo signal processing, that voice really has some reach. Experience a spacious, dramatic soundstage that seems to extend beyond the desktop speakers - whether you've set them next to your monitor or placed them farther apart. You'll also appreciate the clear, robust response for those challenging low musical notes and sound effects.
Companion 2 speakers bring more than new flair to your desktop. They're also designed for convenience, with both the volume control and headphone jack close at hand. All so controlling your listening experience is as simple as you'd like it to be. Dual inputs enable the speakers to be used with your computer as well as a second audio source, such as a portable MP3 or CD player. And Companion 2 speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with your monitor.

Hollis Cinema
191-12 Jamaica Avenue,
3 people favorited this theater
Showing 20 comments
I was never in the Bellaire but the exterior certainly looked "itchy". I remember hearing stories about how the Bellaire would have water on the floor after a rain. I found it really odd when it was converted into a two level bowling alley. The lower one must have really flooded. I was in the Hollis once, see an earlier posting. I found the surroundings pleasant even though the projectionist on that day was totally incompetent missing cues, cursing loudly at his own frustrations, etc..
I think that the main rival to the Hollis was the Bellaire, which was much nearer than the Island. The Bellaire was probably the one known as "the itch."
If anyone has any stories about going to/ working at this threatre in its adult days, I would love to hear them. I am chronicling the histories of adult theatres in the US. Please contact me at Thanks!
I actually remember seeing Rocky 2 in that theater which premiered in 1979. So I know that theater didn't "find God" until at least 1980. And the zip code is 11423.
Thanks so much for doing all that checking!
MarkieS, I just went back to the Island site to see if there was a photo, the links no longer exist, and found a posting from you dated June 18, 2009 in which you mentioned your mother, at age 81, referring to the Island as "the itch" and seeing Intermezzo there.
Thank you, it WAS The Island. My mom remembered the name. She remembers seeing Intermezzo and Pygmalion there.
To the best of my knowledge there were only two theatres in Hollis. This one and the Island. The Island had a very old looking incandescent lit marquee. I attended one performance at the Hollis in the 1950s. I thought it was clean and attractive. My only negative was the projectionist on that day was totally incompetent. He never made smooth transitions between the reels and he could be heard cursing loudly when things didn't go right. I remember the usherette, yes usherette, saying she didn't understand his problem because he was union.
my mom told me about a dumpy theater in Hollis that even in the 30's was known as "the itch", and showed movies that had been out for awhile. I don't think it was this one though. Any ideas what it could have been?
Here is a May 1962 ad. Click on the ad for an expanded view:
"Lost Memory" left out some pertinent information in summarizing the NYT article of 2/3/62. For its new life as the Hollis Repertory Cinema, the theatre was extensively refurbished and had its seating capacity reduced to 325. The opening program was a double bill of "The Bicycle Thief" and "Citizen Kane." New shows opened on Thursdays and ran for six days. Every Wednesday was devoted to special events, such as double bills of opera and ballet features or test screenings of new experimental films seeking distribution. During the week, the Hollis opened at 7PM, with daytime performances only on Saturday and Sunday. The theatre's manager was Norman Seider, almost certainly related to Joseph Seider, president of Associated Prudential Theatres, which ran the Hollis. In the Times article, Joseph Seider said that "Our original idea was to serve Long Island with an attractive little theatre devoted to good unorthodox pictures. But judging by all the phone calls and letters we've been getting, interest has spread and people will be coming here from all the boroughs. Our programs are booked straight through the next thirteen weeks."
Trouble in 1970:
Until I happened on this 1932 ad in the LI Daily Press, I'd never heard of Playco Theatres, and can't find the company listed in Film Daily Year Books. I suspect that Playco was similar to today's Creative Entertainment, providing services for absentee owners:
Here's a local.live.com aerial view of the former theater facing the south and looking at the building's Jamaica Avenue frontage.
Click on the larger building icon in the bird's eye tool palette to get a closer view. The theater is the buidling with the white facade behind the 3 trees on the sidewalk.
I remember passing this building by a few times and thinking it may have been a former theater – but then I quickly dismissed that notion as it was at a time when I was zealously "seeing" former theaters on every other street corner! Had I noticed any church signage there would have been no doubt whatsoever.
Actually it played adult films well into the 80's. The church that is there now has been there snce about 1997/1998. It had been closed for a few years until the church bought it. I know some people who attend the church.
In this 1931 eastward view of Jamaica Avenue, the marquee and white stone facade of the Hollis Theatre can be seen in the center of the right side. The theatre reportedly first opened in 1925:
Many of these small, late-run theatres turned "art" out of desperation during the "TV revolution." By showing something quite different from their mainstream rivals, they hoped to coax people away from their TV sets. To the best of my memory, nearby Jamaica never had an "art" cinema, so the Hollis could draw patronage from a wide area surrounding it.
In 1962 this was being billed as The Hollis Repetory Cinema. They were playing a double bill of "Public Enemy" and "A Nous La Liberte" both from 1931. The next day they were playing Sophia Loren in "Aida". I found this amusing since a year ago I made postings on the Guild 50th site about this "lost" film which was revived in the 80's there. Even more amusing is Hollis having an art house, if you saw this area now.
In a 1958 ad Prudential advetised the theatre as The Hollis-Art. They were playing a double feature of "Gates of Paris" and Maria Schell in "So Little Time".
The Hollis Theatre was located at 191-12 Jamaica Avenue and had about 600 seats. It was a typical late-run neighborhood movie theatre until around 1960, when it was upgraded to an "art house" as the Hollis Cinema.
