Southeastern North Carolina remains under a winter storm warning until 6 p.m. Wednesday.
The Cape Fear region began to feel the impact Tuesday evening of a storm that had, for much of the day, felt like little more than a rumor.
Within a couple hours of the National Weather Service reporting the first frozen raindrops at Wilmington International Airport at 3:05 p.m., roads throughout the region had become sheets of ice and accidents had begun.
Warren Lee, New Hanover County's emergency management director, said he had received reports from the 911 center about 5:30 p.m. that law enforcement officers across the county were reporting hazardous road conditions.
"This is going to continue to deteriorate overnight as precipitation continues to fall," Lee said.
Of particular concern was Snow's Cut Bridge, Lee said, where the icy approaches were making the span "almost impassable."
In Brunswick County, roads had begun to ice over as of about 6 p.m. Tuesday.
"It's widespread throughout the county, it's not just one area," said Brian Watts, the county's emergency management director.
Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties all declared states of emergency throughout the day Tuesday.
Of particular concern was Wednesday morning's commute.
"That should be treacherous," said Mark Bacon, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Wilmington office.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for Southeastern North Carolina until 6 p.m. Wednesday, with wind chill temperatures projected to fall into the single digits Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
"Very dangerous travel is expected as roads become snow or ice covered," a winter weather message from the NWS said. "Blowing and drifting of snow will cause severely reduced visibility. Bridges will be icy and extremely hazardous."
N.C. Department of Transportation crews dropped brine, a saltwater mixture, on roads in the wee hours of Tuesday throughout the region, hoping to keep them passable. Major arteries in Wilmington were brined as early as Sunday night.
The DOT's Castle Hayne garage received 75 additional tons of salt Monday in anticipation of the storm.
"Do we have salt?" said Gerard Taylor, DOT county maintenance engineer for Division 3. "Yes, we have plenty of salt."
While the storm was expected to be at its worst Tuesday evening into Wednesday, Taylor said it will take about a day for crews to fully clear the roads.
"Friday is a good day for removal," Taylor said, citing increasing temperatures and expected sunshine in the region aiding in melting whatever will have frozen overnight.
Tuesday afternoon, Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for the entirety of North Carolina, allowing the government to mobilize resources and putting into motion the process of receiving federal resources during and after the storm.
"We are prepared for a pretty serious winter storm," McCrory said Tuesday afternoon.
As part of the state's response, said N.C. DOT Secretary Tony Tata, 480 vehicles poured 1.7 million gallons of brine on North Carolina roads. The DOT also moved 54 vehicles full of salt and snow and equipped with plows from western counties into eastern counties.
"Because the east is not typically hit with this kind of weather, we wanted to preposition those 54 vehicles to assist with the clearing of the roads," the governor said.
In addition, the state waived weight and hour restrictions on trucks that are necessary to the response and clean-up, and also called on the National Guard to use Humvees to act as service vehicles akin to the DOT's IMAP program.
It was not clear whether those resources would be deployed in Southeastern North Carolina.
"Our goal is to be over-prepared, and we hope the storm will be under-whelming," McCrory said.
Lee's advice to motorists was simple: Don't get in the car.
"If you don't have an emergency or need to be out, you really don't to be," he said Tuesday evening. "Road conditions are continuing to deteriorate as we speak and stay off the roads."

The Independence Mall shut its doors at 5 p.m. Tuesday as freezing rain reached Wilmington.
A pair of Brunswick County towns also declared or took steps toward declaring state of emergency.
Leland Mayor Brenda Bozeman declared a state of emergency for the town at 3:28 p.m., according to a release.
Belville officials scheduled a special meeting for 6 p.m. with "the discussion of storm preparation and the declaration of a state of emergency" the sole item on the agenda.

New Hanover County ABC stores are closing early Tuesday as wintery conditions reach the area.
Stores are closing at 6 p.m., three hours earlier than usual.
The Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry also suspended service at about 3:30 p.m. because of the conditions.
New Hanover County declared a state of emergency at 3:15 p.m.
"Citizens are encouraged to stay off the roads during this storm as very dangerous travel conditions will worsen later today. Slips and falls are also likely. Use extreme caution, especially on steps and concrete or paved areas," said a release from the county.
Reports out of Northwest said there was heavy rain and wind there at about 3:30, while freezing rain and sleet had also picked up in Rocky Point.

Freezing rain has finally reached Wilmington.
At 3:05 p.m., the National Weather Service reported on its Facebook page that freezing rain had been recorded at Wilmington International Airport.
In a tweet a few minutes later, the weather service said, "Receiving widespread reports of sleet/freezing rain/ice as precip(itation) increases across the area!"

Governor Pat McCrory summed up the state-wide response to a winter storm expected to cause treacherous conditions across the state, particularly in the Southeast, by saying, "Our goal is to be overprepared, and we hope the storm will be underwhelming."
As part of the statewide response to expected severe weather, Gov. Pat McCrory has waived weight and hour restrictions on trucks being used for emergency purposes.
"It is crucial for us to move very quickly when restoring power or clearing debris," McCrory said.
Those changes were in addition to the movement of 54 vehicles filled with sand or salt and equipped with plows from the western part of the state to the eastern part of the state.
"Because the east is not typically hit with this kind of weather, we wanted to preposition those 54 vehicles to assist with the clearing of the roads," the governor said.
Secretary of Transportation Tony Tata said part of the reasoning behind moving the vehicles ahead of time was to avoid shifts longer than eight to 12 hours for their operators.
More vehicles are on standby, depending on how severe the weather actually is.
"Tomorrow morning when we see what has actually happened, we have more vehicles on standby to flex in whichever direction we need to go," McCrory said.
Among the three ferry routes still running is the Southport-Fort Fisher ferry, but Tata said he expects all ferries to be shut down shortly.
National Guard resources have also been activated, including Humvees that will assist motorists in a manner akin to the Department of Transportation's iMap vehicles. At this point, no National Guard snow-moving equipment has been called upon.
McCrory also addressed the skepticism of transplants from the North about the response to the storm, saying they often don't understand that it isn't cost-efficient for North Carolina to have the resources on hand that northern states do because harsh weather is simply less common here.
"We're often right at the border of ice and snow, and it's that layer of ice that causes us the most problems," McCrory said.

N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory has declared a state of emergency for the entire state.
"We are prepared for a pretty serious winter storm," McCrory said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference, where he said central and eastern North Carolina will be especially impacted.
The state of emergency will allow the state to mobilize resources to respond to the storm and is the first step to receive federal funds, McCrory said.
He encouraged residents to avoid traveling on the roads, watch out for neighbors and to use flashlights instead of candles.
"This is a time for all of us to take care of each other," McCrory said.
N.C. Department of Transportation Secretary Tony Tata said about 480 vehicles have poured 1.7 million gallons of brine on North Carolina roads. The salt and water mixture is designed to help melt ice and snow, he said. Additionally, Tata said the DOT repositioned 54 vehicles with plows in the eastern counties to help clear roads.
Four of seven ferries were already shut down, Tata said, adding that the final three routes will close shortly.

Temperatures in the Cape Fear region just dipped below freezing, according to a National Weather Service meteorologist, and freezing rain is likely to begin in the next few hours.
"It is materializing a little bit slower than we thought, but it hasn't really changed much," said Mark Bacon, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Wilmington office.
Late Monday, a wintery mix was projected to begin as early as daybreak Tuesday, with the heaviest sleet and snow projected for Tuesday evening.
The National Weather Service's last update, at 12:31 p.m., said the most severe weather was likely to happen late Tuesday afternoon and night.
The forecast also said areas near the coast should still expect a half-inch or more of ice, with areas farther inland likely to receive one-quarter to one-half inch of ice.
"We've bumped things down a little bit on the snow end, but ... the crux of this storm is the ice," Bacon said.
He added much of the freezing rain and ice development is still likely to occur overnight and the morning commute Wednesday morning "should be treacherous."
-- Adam Wagner
Snow and sleet are expected before 5 p.m. Tuesday, then freezing rain and sleet.
Total daytime sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
Tonight, freezing rain is expected before 5 a.m., then freezing rain and sleet. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
On Wednesday, snow and sleet are expected before 1 p.m., then a slight chance of snow between 1 and 4 p.m. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than one inch possible.
While it may seem miserably cold out there right now -- and will only get colder -- the National Weather Service says the chill will give way to sunny skies this weekend.
While temperatures in the mid-60s will be a nice reprieve from the cold temperatures the Cape Fear region is experiencing, another cold front is expected to come in Sunday afternoon.
Weather forecasters said that storm will likely bring rain and cooler temperatures Monday.

Brunswick County declared a state of emergency at noon Tuesday, according to a press release from spokeswoman Amanda Hutcheson.
The decision was guided by forecasts saying the county will receive at least one-half inch of ice, with precipitation changing to snow throughout the day. The county is expected to see about two to four inches of snow. Temperatures are not expected to get above freezing until about noon on Thursday.
The county is advising residents to stay off the roads and find shelter.
Earlier in the day, Pender County declared a state of emergency. The county made the declaration in preparation of the storm, according to Tom Collins, emergency services director. Pender's emergency operations center is also fully activated.
-- Jason Gonzales
While this storm, dubbed Leon by weather forecasters, may have more bark than bite at this time, there are still dangerous situations that could result from it.
National Weather Service forecasters updated their Winter Storm Warning for Pender, Brunswick and New Hanover counties and said ice Tuesday night could result in unsafe conditions.
"The weight of the ice may also bring down tree limbs or topple whole trees," said weather forecasters in the warning.
Forecasters have been steady in their estimates for snow and sleet accumulation from this storm, but they finally pinpointed where they think everything will land.
According to the warning, between four and seven inches of the slippery mixture should fall in portions of inland Pender and Columbus counties.

The American Red Cross in partnership with emergency management and the department of social services will open an evacuation shelter at West Brunswick High School, 550 Whiteville Road in Shallotte at 1 p.m. today.
Red Cross volunteers are providing a warm place to stay for anyone who may be affected by the winter storm. This is a pet-friendly shelter.
Anyone evacuating to a Red Cross shelter should bring essential items for each member of the family:
• Prescriptions and emergency medications
• Foods that meet unusual dietary requirements
• Identification to show residence is in affected area and important personal documents
• Extra clothing, pillows, blankets, hygiene supplies and other comfort items
• Supplies needed for children and infants, such as diapers, formula and toys
• Special items for family members who are elderly or disabled
The National Weather Service has increased the amount of ice projected to accumulate along the coast during this winter storm.
According to weather forecasters, the Cape Fear region could get up to a half-inch of ice at the peak of this storm. Residents closer to the coast may even see more than the half-inch.
Snow and sleet will accumulate to between two and four inches, but will be closer to five or six inches inland, said weather forecasters.
Meanwhile, New Hanover County officials continue to monitor the "harsh winter conditions" that will plague the county this afternoon.
A news release said the county's emergency operations center is "partially activated" as officials coordinate with local and state partners.
There are still no plans to open emergency shelters in New Hanover County.

The freezing rain that started about an hour ago has since let up. Roads in the region remain relatively clear, but motorists should proceed with caution on area bridges as they will be the first to freeze over.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington says freezing rain and sleet are likely before 1 p.m., then freezing rain between 1 and 4 p.m., then freezing rain and sleet after 4 p.m. Little or no snow accumulation is expected throughout the day.
Meanwhile, there's been a surge of customers at grocery stores buying supplies.
Monday night, several area residents said they saw nearly empty milk and bread shelves at their area grocery stores.
Tuesday morning, however, there still seemed to be a good amount of stock left at local stores. The Harris Teeter on Oleander Drive had an almost-full milk cooler.
The Food Lion just about a mile down the road, had clearly been picked through a bit more. The bread shelf had mostly brand-name loaves left, but the store brand white bread was partially gone Tuesday morning.

Pender County has declared a state of emergency as freezing rain has started in parts of the Cape Fear region.
The county made the declaration in preparation of the storm, according to Tom Collins, emergency services director. Pender's emergency operations center is also fully activated.
Brunswick County has also opened its emergency operations center, but it is partially staffed, said Brian Watts, emergency services director.
County officials will be monitoring the conditions throughout the day and making decisions on whether to open shelters and increase the county's staffing levels, Watts said.
New Hanover County will not open its emergency operations center at this time, Director Warren Lee said. He said the county will continue to monitor the situation and will notify the public if there is a change.

Freezing rain has started in parts of the Cape Fear region.
Motorists travelling on North College Road should anticipate delays in the area of Gordon Road as police investigate a motor vehicle crash there.
No word on injuries in that crash, but it is affecting traffic in that area.
N.C. Department of Transportation road crews are in a holding pattern this morning as they wait for the forecasted weather storm that is expected to bring snow and ice to the region.
Gerard Taylor, DOT county maintenance engineer for Division 3, said crews arrived at the Castle Hayne garage at midnight Monday to prep for the storm.
The storm, which is expected to last Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon, is a 36-hour "mixed bag of tricks that mother nature is throwing at us," Taylor said.
He said there was a chance of precipitation at 5 a.m. this morning and crews wanted to be ready.
Right now, however, crews are like the rest of the Cape Fear region – waiting for the storm.
"The best event we can have is a non-event," Taylor said, adding he'd rather have his crew sitting inside waiting if it means they're ready to go the minute the weather turns for the worse.
Road conditions right now are clear. Since nothing has dropped on the region yet, the area's roads are streaked with white lines, indicating they have been brined by transportation officials.
According to the National Weather Service, a winter storm warning for Pender, Brunswick and New Hanover counties is in effect until 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Light rain is forecasted to start early Tuesday morning and will change to freezing rain and sleet later in the day.
Total snow accumulation will be between one and four inches with a one-third inch coating of ice, according to weather forecasters.
Taylor said brining the roads, a process where salt water is sprayed, started at 8 p.m. Sunday night in Wilmington.
He said major arteries were done first because it is easier to pre-treat those high-volume roads when there's no drivers on them.
And while the brining may seem as if it was done earlier than needed, Taylor would argue against that mentality.
He said that saltwater makes it difficult for roads to freeze over and prevents unsafe driving conditions.
It was money and time well spent, he said, even if it is a temporary fix.
Taylor said the Castle Hayne garage received an additional 75 tons of salt Monday in anticipation of the storm.
"Do we have salt? Yes, we have plenty of salt," he said.
If Taylor's assurances weren't enough, the large shed full of salt at the DOT facility might be.
He said New Hanover DOT crews have received so much extra supplies because of the amount of ice that is expected during the storm.
"It's cold outside," he said. "It's slippery."
Even if roads are currently clear in the region, the forecasted storm has taken a toll at the Wilmington International Airport and has grounded flights.
Taylor suggested people stay home and inside, if possible, when the storm comes.
He said crews are ready to start salting and sanding roads when they start becoming slick.
"It's going to be a little bit of a bear to handle," he said. "Each (storm) is a little monster in itself."
Taylor said he expects the counties roads to be difficult and dangerous to drive through Thursday.
While the storm is expected to be worst Tuesday evening into Wednesday, Taylor said it will take about a day for crews to fully clear the roads.
"Friday is a good day for removal," Taylor said, citing increasing temperatures and expected sunshine in the region aiding in melting whatever will have frozen overnight.

Multiple flights scheduled to depart from Wilmington International Airport Tuesday morning were canceled, according to the airport's website.
Four flights, including two to Charlotte and one each to Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, were grounded. Four morning flights arriving to Wilmington, from Charlotte, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Philadelphia, were canceled.

Southeastern North Carolina remains under a winter storm warning until 6 p.m. Wednesday.
As of 5 a.m. Tuesday, light rain was moving into the area and it is expected to change over to freezing rain and sleet later Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
The heaviest precipitation is expected late late Tuesday afternoon through the night. Light snow may linger into Wednesday afternoon, the weather service said.
Temperatures are expected to be around 30 degrees.
The weather service warns that roads will be very dangerous and power failures are possible as ice accumulates on lines.

I think it is great Stern is moving to Sirius satellite radio. The public airwaves are owned by the public, so the public should get to say if they want them to be censored. Overwhelmingly, people do want such limits. But I am all for free speech, so what's the answer? Satellite radio.
Feb 26 17:39:42 <pudge> i would love to see Stern on XM.It was a given that they would try this. Stern would get to be uncensored, and make a ton of money as the foremost on-air pioneer of a somewhat new medium. How could he pass it up? The only question was whether one of the providers would pony up the money for it; certainly they would want to do it, but the price was the key. I figured XM had the most to offer, having more subscribers, but that only means Sirius had more incentive. And in the end Sirius did it, and in the end, might have more subscribers because of it.

Active Nonlinear Acoustic Sensing of an Object with Sum or Difference Frequency Fields
AbstractA number of nonlinear acoustic sensing methods exist or are being developed for diverse areas ranging from oceanic sensing of ecosystems, gas bubbles, and submerged objects to medical sensing of the human body. Our approach is to use primary frequency incident waves to generate second order nonlinear sum or difference frequency fields that carry information about an object to be sensed. Here we show that in general nonlinear sensing of an object, many complicated and potentially unexpected mechanisms can lead to sum or difference frequency fields. Some may contain desired information about the object, others may not, even when the intention is simply to probe an object by linear scattering of sum and difference frequency incident waves generated by a parametric array. Practical examples illustrating this in ocean, medical, air and solid earth sensing are given. To demonstrate this, a general and complete second-order theory of nonlinear acoustics in the presence of an object is derived and shown to be consistent with experimental measurements. The total second-order field occurs at sum or difference frequencies of the primary fields and naturally breaks into (A) nonlinear waves generated by wave-wave interactions, and (B) second order waves from scattering of incident wave-wave fields, boundary advection, and wave-force-induced centroidal motion. Wave-wave interactions are analytically shown to always dominate the total second-order field at sufficiently large range and carry only primary frequency response information about the object. As range decreases, the dominant mechanism is shown to vary with object size, object composition, and frequencies making it possible for sum or difference frequency response information about the object to be measured from second-order fields in many practical scenarios. It is also shown by analytic proof that there is no scattering of sound by sound outside the region of compact support intersection of finite-duration plane waves at sum or difference frequencies, to second-order. Analytic expressions for second-order fields due to combinations of planar and far-field wave-wave interactions are also derived as are conditions for when wave-wave interactions will dominate the second order field.

Amplifier B is set up as a unity gain inverter driven from the output of Amplifier A. Note that Amplifier B inverts the signals about the reference node, which is set at mid-supply by R5 and R6. When the command input is midrange, so is the output of Amplifier A. Since this is also equivalent to the reference node voltage, the output of Amplifier B is the same resulting in 0V across the motor. Inputs more positive than 5V result in motor current flow from left to right (see Figure 2). Inputs less than 5V drive the motor in the opposite direction. The amplifiers are especially well-suited for applications such as this. The extended common mode range allows command inputs as low as 0V. The output swing lets it drive within 2V of the supply at an output of 1A. This means that a command input that ranges from 0 to 10V will drive a 24V motor from full scale CCW to full scale CW at ±1A. # " 46# 46# 46# FIGURE 1.

Visit www. apexmicrotech.com for design tools that help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, internal power dissipation, heatsink selection; Apex's complete Application Notes library; Technical Seminar Workbook; and Evaluation Kits. The PA60EU has a large exposed copper heat tab to which the monolithic is directly attached. The PA60EU may require a thermal washer, which is electrically insulating since the tab is directly tied to -VS. This can result in a thermal impedance RCS of up to 1˚C/W or greater. The PA60DK has a large exposed integrated copper heatslug to which the monolithic is directly attached. The solder connection of the heatslug to a minimum of 1 square inch foil area of the printed circuit board will result in thermal performance of 25°C/W junction to air rating of the PA60DK. Solder connection to an area of 1 to 2 square inches of foil is required for minimal power applications Where the PA60DK is used in higher power applications, it is necessary to use surface mount techniques of heatsinking. Surface mount techniques include the use of a surface mount fan in combination with a surface mount heatsink on the backside of the FR4/ PC board with through hole thermal vias. Other highly thermal conductive substrate board materials are available for maximum heat sinking. STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS All monolithic power op amps use output stage topologies that present special stability problems. This is primarily due to non-complementary (both devices are NPN) output stages with a mismatch in gain and phase response for different polarities of output current. It is difficult for the op amp manufacturer to optimize compensation for all operating conditions. 40"1"%, %$5$$ "# ".1-*'*&34-0"%&% " ".1-*'*&3-0"%&% %$5$$ 4611-:50065165%*''&3&/5*"-70-5"(&74707 40"1"&6 065165$633&/5'30.74PS74" %$5$$ "# ".1-*'*&34-0"%&% " ".1-*'*&3-0"%&% %$5$$ 108&3%&3"5*/( 1"&6 "# ".1-*'*&34 1"%, "# ".1-*'*&34 1"&6 " ".1-*'*&3 1"%, " ".1-*'*&3 $"4&5&.1&3"563&5$$ MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS */5&3/"-108&3%*44*1"5*0/18 065165$633&/5'30.74PS74" 4611-:50065165%*''&3&/5*"-70-5"(&74707 SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA) 1. Always use a heat sink. Even unloaded the PA60DK and PA60EU can dissipate up to .4 watts. 2. Avoid bending the leads. Such action can lead to internal damage. 3. Always fasten the tab of the EU package to the heat sink before the leads are soldered to fixed terminals. 4. Strain relief must be provided if there is any probability of axial stress to the leads. The SOA curves combine the effect of all limits for this power op amp. For a given application, the direction and magnitude of the output current should be calculated or measured and checked against the SOA curves. This is simple for resistive loads but more complex for reactive and EMF generating loads. The following guidelines may save extensive analytical efforts.

Well almost done, I'm still waiting for my wife to pick out the drawer pulls she wants. This took me about four months and is my largest project yet. It is built mostly from cherry. I used soft maple for the hidden parts. The joinery is primarily mortise and tenons and pocket holes. Secondary joinery includes biscuits, half blind dovetails, half laps and a dado. The finish is watco Danish oil.
I have a real drawer on the left and a faux drawer on the right. The faux drawer is held in place with rare earth magnets and can be removed to allow access to drop the feed dogs. The platform that holds the sewing machine has four leveling screws to allow flush fit of the sewing machine to the table.
This was a pretty big project for me considering I've never actually made a piece of furnature. I mostly just make boxes and frames due to the size of my garage shop.

Very nice work. There's nothing like Cherry and it will darken great over time and look great. Looks like the whole thing was bought as a complete unit. Great idea on the faux drawer front using the magnets.

My wife has two sewing machines, but I've never seen one with the 'bar' out of the front. ??

The bar coming out the front lifts the presser foot off the material when you push it with your knee. It's pretty handy since it lets you keep both hands on the material and make quick turns. I've seen them on bernia, baby lock and janome.
Thanks for the comments. This project really made me push my skill level.

Hi Everyone! This is Charity, and I am doing the blog today.
I guess I should start with Eve's " Elf on the Shelf".
This picture is a little blurry. Let me give you a close up.
Today Barbie was naughty; she put googly eyes on all the pictures on Mom's picture shelf!
Ella laughed. Lily said " Barbie did that all by herself? I hope Barbie is nice tomorrow." :)
Now before the advent we had dinner. My Mom bought sweet potatoes this week so
we used them.
There you have sweet potato taters, barbecue sauce hind-quarter chicken, and
carrots, celery, and broccoli, fried in Italian seasoning and chicken broth. It was really good and a lot of fun to make. ;) It made me feel like watching Master Chef.
So next up we have the advent.
That is what gets put on the back. Behind the scenes.
Everyone searched. Well, almost everyone. Addy and Dad were playing PlayStation.
She gave me a look.
Ella found it.
Mom made her read it over by the fireplace where no one could read it faster than her.
(I made this picture bigger so it was easier to read the words.)
I think Mom's rhymes are better this year.
So we had to think of a creative snack that was quick and easy.
Everyone wanted to use the easy way. We were all like, " Let's eat the rice krispies we have in the fridge and the Shortbread ice cream from the freezer."
Mom said we weren't creative enough.
While this was happening Ella was eating and sharing her candy-cane with Addy.
Isn't she a cutie?
Then Elijah came up with the idea to mix all the juice boxes we had downstairs into one jug of juice.
I know it sounds gross, but Mom let him do it.
All my pics are blurry today:(
As you can see Mom made us get out bowls for everyone.
Then we had to wait until Addy was in bed.
Good night Addy!!!!
So Mom let us use the ice cream and rice krispies and the chips.
So ,of course, I made a master piece.
Then I added more ice cream after I had taken the pic.:)
The juice didn't taste too bad, Sort of citrusy.
Well, then we watched Master Chef, ( 'Cause Gordon Ramsay's the best;)
Technically, it was Master Chef Junior.
All the kids are so much fun to watch cook and it's amazing to see what they come up with!
That's all for today folks. You'll hear from Keona or Prayer tomorrow!!!!

Puzzle time once again for us BlackBerry 10 users. Pot the Ball is a free download which is ad-supported, although you can grab the paid edition if you get hooked - which may well be possible! If you like a challenge with a difference this one may well be just what you've been looking for.
The concept of the game is very simple - yet not so easy to play, but practice makes perfect. Balls will drop from a hole at the top of the display and you need to get them into the jars. This is achieved by drawing lines on the BlackBerry display to guide the balls. Each jar needs a certain amount of balls to fill it and the number will be printed on it to make things nice and clear.
Where it starts to get tricky though is when you get more than one jar to fill. As you'll notice in the video - the number of lines you can draw is limited and you need to be precise to target the balls correctly. In fact, instead of me just describing it even more just download the game as it won't cost you a penny.
Features include:
- Strategic Game play.
- Unique physics based game play.
- Challenge your friends on Facebook.
- Smooth game play.
The other piece of good news is that Pot the Ball is available for all BlackBerry 10 devices - bonus!
More information/Download Pot the Ball (free) for BlackBerry 10

WASHINGTON – Maine's U.S. House and Senate members agreed Wednesday that the Internal Revenue Service overstepped its bounds by subjecting conservative groups to more scrutiny, but differed on whether the inquiries were politically motivated.
The scandals dominating discussion on Capitol Hill this week appear to have created something rare in Congress: bipartisan criticism of the Obama administration.
Republicans and Democrats have called for congressional investigations into the IRS's targeting of conservative groups and the Department of Justice's subpoenas of phone records for reporters working in Washington.
Maine senators Susan Collins and Angus King have been vocal on the IRS scandal, which erupted late last week after officials acknowledged that some groups with the words "tea party" and "patriot" in their names had their applications for nonprofit status held up by the IRS.
Collins, a Republican, said earlier this week that "heads really should roll" in the tax agency and expressed skepticism that only "a couple of rogue IRS employees" were responsible.
She sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew this week demanding answers about who knew of the additional scrutiny on some groups, when they knew and how the review process played out. She wrote that the incidents "appear to be part of a larger pattern of questionable activity by the administration that seems intended to hinder or chill the expression of views critical of the administration."
King, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said targeting certain groups was wrong but he did not necessarily believe it was politically motivated. He said he believes the IRS chose a "very clumsy way of trying to take a shortcut" to try to figure out whether organizations were political organizations or tax-exempt "social-welfare" groups.
King said the situation underscores a major flaw in the enforcement of campaign finance laws that allows clearly political groups to register as social-welfare organizations, which are not required to disclose their donors.
"This whole designation has been terribly abused over the past five or six years by both sides," King said in an interview. "And it has become a gigantic loophole in the campaign finance system that has allowed a lot of anonymous money to be spent in campaigns because the IRS hasn't been policing it sufficiently. What they did by identifying certain groups is wrong. But there are two scandals here."
Maine's House members — Democratic Reps. Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree — were also critical of the IRS and the Justice Department's decision to subpoena two months' phone records for Associated Press reporters over national security leaks.
Michaud said he would support a congressional inquiry into the IRS and the Justice Department's subpoenas of journalists' phone records.
"These actions deserve a critical review, and investigations by both law enforcement and Congress are clearly warranted," Michaud said in a written statement. "A federal agency targeting organizations based on ideology is outrageous and unacceptable. "
Pingree also condemned the reported activities. "A free press and free exercise of political speech are two of most basic values of this country and it's outrageous if either the IRS or the Justice Department is doing anything to suppress those basic rights," Pingree said in a statement.

From the outside, the Muvico Egyptian 24 looks exactly as an Egyptian tomb would look, if the Egyptians had worshiped Ben Affleck and felt the need for valet parking. But (Avril Lavigne aside) Entertainment Weekly is not one to be seduced by flashy facades. We were certain that deep within the Egyptian 24 lurked all the secrets of the megamultiplex, answers to questions we'd always wondered about. For instance: What's the quickest way to irritate an usher? Why are concession workers always urging us to buy a larger size? And why is this theater so warm all of a sudden? We chose the Egyptian 24, located just outside Baltimore, because it's one of the most heavily trafficked theaters in America: It sold 2.7 million tickets last year, and its managers hope to crack the 3 million mark in 2003.
Surely, if anyone knows how to operate a megamultiplex, it is the staff of the Egyptian 24. And so, in the tradition of Upton Sinclair and Lewis Hine, with complete disregard for our own personal well-being, we set out to expose its deepest, darkest secrets. Risking life and limb, we embedded ourselves for an entire weekend there, following the managers around like a puppy, asking them endless questions. It was difficult work — alleviated only by breaks to see "Daredevil" and approximately 20 minutes of "Shanghai Knights" — but we did it for you, the reader. We await your thanks. And our Pulitzer.
Marquee de Sade
To you, the marquee of show times looks like a quick reference point to find out when the next show of "Kangaroo Jack" starts. To Bill Garza, who manages the Egyptian 24, it represents the worst ninth-grade algebra word problem ever: Start with around two dozen movies, each with a different running time, and 24 theaters of five different sizes. You want to schedule as many shows of every movie as possible. Furthermore, you want to make sure that every movie is in just the right size theater, ideally to have every show sell out and no patrons turned away. Remember to schedule children's movies in the larger theaters during the daytime and the smaller ones at night. Also, take care that you don't schedule all your popular movies to start at once, because then your lobby will be filled with people and your concession stand will be overwhelmed. Oh, and be especially careful that you don't have two popular movies starting around the same time in adjacent theaters, or the let-in lines will get tangled up and things will just get ugly. Got all that? Good.
Now, try to devise the 15 perfect show times for the opening weekend of "Daredevil." Be sure to show all work. (For what it's worth, it takes a manager at the Egyptian 24 around eight hours every Monday to devise a schedule — and even then, the show times often need to be adjusted on the fly, with movies switching from larger to smaller auditoriums. Garza still cringes recalling certain mistakes, such as the weekend when he overestimated the appeal of "Death to Smoochy" and watched the Edward Norton comedy unspool in large, mostly empty theaters.)
Would you like fries with your 'Malibu's Most Wanted'?
Movie theaters are only incidentally in the movie business. From a profit standpoint, the Muvico's major business is food. The theater has to split its box office receipts with the studios. But the money theaters make at the concession stand, they keep. The Egyptian 24 currently takes in, on average, around $2.85 net per customer at the stand; Garza's goal for the year is to boost that figure to $2.95 net, through aggressive salesmanship and the introduction of new food items.
Dan Hogan, the theater's senior operations manager, monitors concession sales using the theater's real-time data system, Radiant; if small and medium sodas and popcorns are outselling the large sizes, he knows it's time to have a talk with the staff about the importance of "upselling" — which is why the epicurean moviegoer is harangued with "Would you like a large with free refills for just 50 cents more?" Hogan maintains that this is a public service: "If you come up to the counter and you order a small soda, and then the guy after you orders a large one for not much more, and you hear the counter guy say, 'You get free refills with that,' you're going to be upset that you weren't even presented with that option." As we all know, the average human head weighs approximately eight pounds, but what Hogan may not know (or chooses to ignore) is that the average human bladder cannot comfortably contain 44 fluid ounces for the running time of "The Pianist."
Why, yes, now that you mention it, it is getting hot in herrrrrre
Now that we've reviewed the average weight of the human head and touched on the capacity of the average human bladder, here's another fun anatomy fact: The average human puts out as much heat as a 100-watt bulb. For most people, this is a tidbit with which to impress friends (well, the easily impressed ones); for theater managers, it is a key fact of their business. It means that if they have 500 people in a theater, they will need to keep a close eye on the thermostat, or the patrons will slowly cook one another. And that's probably not a good idea — even if it might fuel sales of 44-ounce drinks.
The inexplicable habits of the American moviegoer
The theater has two identical box offices, side by side, with separate lines. For no discernible reason, customers vastly prefer the right-hand line to the left-hand one, which makes about as much sense as vastly preferring Mary-Kate to Ashley. The same thing happens at the concession stand: Even if a manager announces, "There are shorter lines at the other end of the concession stand," people will continue to stand on the very long lines, like stunned cattle. And then there are the customers who simply don't understand how movies work, like the woman who once asked Hogan whether there might be a shorter version of "The English Patient" for her to see. Or the baffled folk who show up every weekend five minutes before the start of a major new release and complain that they can't find a good seat, or four good seats together, even though they purchased their tickets in advance, online. (One suspects these are the same people who rush to the post office to buy stamps in bulk the day before a new postal increase takes effect.)

Lighting is instrumental in opening up space. The soft glow of recessed spot lighting with a monochromatic color scheme will give the illusion of peace and serenity. A tochiere light or elegant wall sconce can bounce light off the ceiling, cutting down on ghostly glare. An easily installed skylight will envelop the bathroom with a creative alternative to light, and the effects of solar tube lighting will illuminate even the most tired face and naturally infuse necessary Vitamin D.
There are various types of antique lights that resemble the shape and designs of different ages. So, you will never run short of the options anyway. However, the only problem in this regard seems to be that you have to make the choice judiciously. You will come across an infinite variety of chandeliers, ceiling lights, and so on and you have to pick up the one that suits the style of your house. In this regard, the size and length of these lights can be very important. Ideally, you should be looking for models that will fit in the space available in your house.
Even if you have a modern looking home, you can purchase the art deco lighting and add an interesting flair to your room. It can set the perfect mood that you might want. With a warm glow over the entire room, it can create a romantic spell in your room.

Oklahoma City Drug Defense Lawyer
Unlawful Possession of Marijuana
Depending on the Defendant's prior record of drug-related convictions, unlawful possession of marijuana can be classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Though mainstream society as a whole has generally shown more acceptance towards the possession and use of marijuana, Oklahoma remains one of staunchest opponents to the marijuana culture. Generally, a Defendant will be charged with possession if he or she is found to possess an amount of marijuana that's small enough to be considered for 'personal use.'
So long as the Defendant does not have any prior marijuana charges, simple possession of marijuana will almost always be charged as a misdemeanor in Oklahoma. A simple possession of marijuana charge will only subject the Defendant to the possibility of up to one year in county jail and/or a fine. However, it is important to remember that a marijuana charge can also be used in the future to enhance the penalty of any subsequent marijuana charge.
Oklahoma Marijuana Drug Laws
Do not be fooled however, as the state of Oklahoma generally has no qualms with considering even the smallest detectable amount of marijuana capable for personal use. Usually, a Defendant will face a misdemeanor charge and up to one year in prison for a first offense and between two and ten years for each subsequent offense.
There is a common misconception that prosecutors will decide to charge someone with simple possession of a controlled dangerous substance, as opposed to possession with intent, simply based on the amount of marijuana that is found. This is only partly true.
While the weight of marijuana found is a factor that goes into the prosecution's consideration as to whether or not someone possessed weed only for personal use, law enforcement look at other factors as well. Depending on the particular type of drug paraphernalia that is found along with the drugs themselves, the prosecution may allege the paraphernalia as circumstantial evidence that a Defendant meant to distribute the marijuana. This can also occur if the marijuana is found in separate containers.
Possession of Controlled Dangerous Substance (CDS)
Oklahoma drug laws have divided most of the "controlled dangerous substances" (CDS) our society is familiar with into "schedules" or categories based on the supposed addiction risk and potential medical use of each substance.
If a Defendant is found to be in possession of one of the above enumerated substances, he or she could face potential felony or misdemeanor liability depending on the amounts involved. Furthermore, a Defendant can be charged as having either 'actual' possession or 'constructive' possession, meaning the Defendant had control and dominion over the substance, even if it wasn't necessarily on his or her person.
Possession of a CDS can also be classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor, and the length of prison terms depends on the number of prior convictions. For marijuana, a first-time offender will only face a misdemeanor charge with a potential sentence of up to one year in the county jail. For all other CDS, a first-time offender will usually face between two and ten years in prison; a conviction for a second or subsequent offense, will usually result in a sentence of between four and twenty years in prison.
Possession of Paraphernalia
In Oklahoma, Possession of drug paraphernalia is a misdemeanor charge, punishable by up to one year of incarceration in the county jail. According to the Oklahoma Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, paraphernalia refers to:
all equipment, products and materials of any kind which are used, intended for use, or fashioned specifically for use in planting, propagating, cultivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding, converting, producing, processing, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging, repackaging, storing, containing, concealing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling or otherwise introducing into the human body, a controlled dangerous substance.
Consequently, almost any tangible article found in the presence of drugs can be argued as paraphernalia. A Defendant will almost certainly receive a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia any time he or she is found in possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
Possession of Drug Proceeds
Oklahoma is notorious for filing felony charges for possession of proceeds derived from the sale of a controlled dangerous substance. In most situations, regardless of how much cash is found on a person when he or she is arrested for a drug related crime, the prosecution will argue that any cash money recovered is circumstantial evidence that the funds were derived from the sale or purchase of the drugs.
This is mainly due to Oklahoma's extremely harsh and unfair drug forfeiture laws. The prosecution and law enforcement know that they will receive portions of any funds that are confiscated and forfeited by the Defendant during the course of his or her criminal charges. These cases are very common during highway drug interdiction stops.
As such, anyone charged with possession of drug proceeds can face losing even more money (unless he or she can show a valid source for the funds or that they were not used to purchase or sale a CDS) along with the felony consequences of spending between two to ten years in prison.
Possession with Intent to Distribute
In Oklahoma, a conviction for possession with intent to distribute carries heavy prison terms. Moreover, the phrase "with intent to distribute" can be very misleading: a Defendant does not need to actually intend to distribute the CDS if there is enough weight found to infer that the Defendant intends to distribute the substance.
This is based on a legal fallacy that anything more than "personal use" could only reasonably be for the purpose of distribution. Furthermore, Defendants found with a CDS along with scales, bags, twisty-ties, multiple containers of a substance, or packaging supplies can face possible liability for possession with intent to distribute in Oklahoma as well. This offense can result in a felony conviction and can carry lengthy prison terms. See our related page for drug trafficking charges.
It is important to also know the distinction between which controlled dangerous substances are "narcotics" and which ones are not. Some common narcotics are heroin, cocaine, crack, and LSD. Marijuana, meth, PCP, and mushrooms are NOT considered narcotics. This destinction is important, because it can determine the potential punishment range that one may face is charged. In regards to narcotics, possession with intent to distribute can result in a sentence of five years to life in the department of corrections. For all others CDS, possession with intent will only carry a potential prison sentence of two years to life in custody.
Larceny of Controlled Dangerous Substance (CDS)
You can also face charges for stealing a controlled dangerous substance. Now, this does not mean that drug dealers can call the cops and press charges whenever someone has stolen their drugs or ripped them off on a deal. These charges are usually reserved for situations in which someone has stolen CDS from a pharmacy or other location.
This is not to be confused with situations in which someone takes the controlled dangerous substance by force or fear. In those situations, a person can be charges with Obtaining CDS by Robbery, which is punishable by not less than five years in the Oklahoma prison sentence.
In Oklahoma, Larceny of CDS can be punishable by up to ten years in prison.
Obtaining CDS by Fraud
Another common charge that should be distinguished from Larceny of CDS is allegations that one has obtained a CDS by fraud, such as when drugs are obtained from a pharmacy by use of a forged prescription. Individuals can also face charges simply for having a stolen prescription pad in their possession. Simply possessing a forged prescription is does not expose a Defendant to the same amount of liability he or she will face if the forged prescription is actually offered to the pharmacy in an attempt to obtain a controlled dangerous substance.
An individual will face up to ten years in prison for a first-time offense of offering a forged prescription in an attempt to obtain a CDS. For a second offense, a Defendant can face between four to twenty years in prison. Just as important as the potential prison sentence though, a second offense for obtaining CDS by fraud is not eligible for a suspended or deferred sentence. This means you can't get any probation at all.

*This was originally written in August 2016*
Dear Progressive Church, My Friends,
I can look you square in the face and tell you all of the reasons why we shouldn't drive faster than the speed limit. I know it increases mortality rates. But yeah, I just got a speeding ticket for going 15 miles over the speed limit a couple of weeks ago so… So my point is, what I am about to write about isn't something I've perfected. In fact, I think I'm actually pretty horrible at this and I want you to know I'm really not saying that to sound humble. But I've been feeling really convicted to write about it. This is one of those pieces that I just can't shake. So here it is.
I avoided Christianity for years because I didn't like Christians. They seriously annoyed the heck out of me. How can people be so exclusive? How can people be so judgmental? ESPECIALLY people who claim to follow Jesus, a man who radiated love and inclusiveness. A man who effortlessly loved the outcasts and the marginalized. The outcasts of our day, the LGBTQ community, immigrants, people of color, muslims, etc., are seeming to receive no such love from the church. How can a group of self-proclaimed Jesus followers be so hateful to those groups of people?? It makes my blood boil. I'll stop there but let tell you, I could go on for paragraphs about this.
I don't think I'm alone here. I've heard many of my progressive Christian friends and even pastors talk down about this group of people. We are harsh when we remind them that the only people Jesus was harsh to were the Pharisees. We rally ourselves around this and claim that we will not be like them.
Now, I'm going to write about the part I don't want to write about. The part where I admit what is probably quite obvious to outsiders. Wait for it, it's going to sting. Take a deep breath: We're projecting.
The Pharisees were the judgmental, exclusive, rule-obsesesed religious folk of Jesus' day. Somehow, this has given us license to exclude, judge, and maybe even hate the Pharisees of our day. This is not ok. We are doing to them, the same thing that they are doing to the "least of these." My fellow liberal Christians, we have to figure out a way to extend love to this group and here are a couple of reasons why.
First of all, they are not a "group." We are talking about individuals who cannot and should not be lumped into a category to be pre-judged. They have real life stories and histories that have molded and shaped them into who they are today. Many of them have have only be taught one way of thinking. We need to have humility and recognize that we only believe what we believe because of information we have encountered. This information may have then led us down a path of seeking more information but we did not choose what we were exposed to initially.
Second, there is NO WAY Jesus' message of love will sink in if we, their own brothers and sisters, are un-loving to them. How can we expect them to listen to stories of the marginalized if we aren't willing to listen to their stories? And there are stories, painful ones.
We are in such a critical time in our society. We need all of the advocates for the marginalized that we can get. I truly have faith that if someone is really a Jesus follower, they can be turned to the side of justice. Maybe if we are willing to be a little less harsh and a little more gracious, we can find common ground and we can build a better world together.
Maybe this is all naive. Maybe I'm a dreamer. All I know is what I see now is major division in our country and in our congregations. What we're doing now isn't working. The truth is: People are more motivated by emotion than facts. It's sad, but it's true. This is the way that our brains are wired. We have to stop pushing the statistics and start breaking bread. Relationship is the only way things can change.
**** Now this is post Election 2016*****
It's more important now than ever that we listen to the real complaints of those who seem so different than us. We're not all so different. We all want to live full, happy lives and offer our children the same. We just have different views on how to get there. We do have different values in some ways but I think we would be surprised where we can overlap. It's time to be Jesus ourselves instead of shaming others into compassion. It just doesn't work and quite frankly, it's unkind. Look, I'm going to have such a hard time following my own advice here (remember the speeding ticket??) but this is what I hope to strive for… and I hope I'm not alone.

Hands have remixed Afternoons "Say Yes" !! It's a free download. The track premiered this week on Magnet. Hands' remix of "Say Yes" retains the epic sway of the original, but adds funky synth bass and tasty atmospheric synths for a progressive-pop jam that is less club-banger, and more headphone masterpiece.
Geoffrey Halliday of Hands offers some insight into the process of reworking the track:
"When I first heard the song I had no clue what I was going to put together for a remix. The song was so solid and confident that it was hard to imagine as anything but the lilting, swinging romp that the original encapsulates. It was when I finally started chopping up the tracks and sampling various pieces that I was able to find a new feel to match the vocals to. I fell in love with the claps they recorded and so I used those as a guide to build a new groove around. I didn't quantize anything in the remix to try and retain some of the loose feel of the original that I loved. Almost all of the synths are made out of samples from the original stems, though some are so effected that their origin may not be apparent. That's one of the most enjoyable parts honestly."

Years ago I made this hot cocoa cake roll for a dinner at a friends house and it was the perfect ending to a fun night. That recipe had fresh fruits in it. For this one I added fresh raspberries on the side only, because my goal was to honor a classic recipe for this season of the year; hot cocoa! A drink everyone enjoys specially on cool days, like this ones.
There's something about watching a snow fall and holding a mug filled with hot cocoa, right? I'm sure I'm not alone here. My kids loves hot cocoa with the classic floating mini marshmallows. YUM! I can smell it right now. So good. Warm, soft, creamy, nostalgic and simply delicious. You can't go wrong with some hot cocoa, and that's why I'm sure you'll love this hot cocoa angel food cake roll.
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|20 minutes
- 1 (16oz) box Angel Food Cake Mix plus ingredients to prepare as directed
- 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder plus more for dusting, I used Guittard Chocolate
- 8 ounce Cool Whip Extra Creamy I used Kraft
- 1 cup Mini Marshmallows I used Kraft Jet-Puff Marshmallows
- 1 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips I used Guittard Chocolate
- 1/4 cup Powder Sugar plus more, for dusting
- Fresh Raspberries optional, for decoration
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 10x15x1 rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. Do not grease the pan. Set aside.
- Whisk dry cake mix with the cocoa powder until well combined. Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, until the edges start to crack. Note: The cake will rise up in the pan, but should not flow over.
- Loosen cake from the edges of the pan while it's still warm. It can be a little sticky, like an angel food cake, but it will come away easily.
- Spread out a clean lint free kitchen towel and sprinkle 1/4 cup powder sugar evenly all over the kitchen towel.
- Flip the warm cake out onto the sugar dusted kitchen towel. Peel the parchment paper off the back side of the cake.
- Start rolling the cake up with the kitchen towel, starting at the short end of the cake. With the towel rolling with the cake inside.
- Let the cake cool completely at room temperature for a couple hours or pop it into the freezer up to 20 minutes if in a hurry. Note: It's important to let the cake cool completely before adding the cake filling.
- Gently unroll the cooled cake (leave it laying on the towel, if you'd like) and spread the cool whip over the top of the cake.
- Then spread the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Carefully roll the cake bake up (without the towel).
- Place the cake on a serving plate with seams facing down.
- Sprinkle the top with powder sugar and cocoa powder and add some fresh raspberries if desired.
- Serve right away or you can keep it chilled in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
- Enjoy!
A cake roll filled with mini marshmallows says much more than words can. It's fluffy, soft, sweet and smooth. It's perfection in every bite. Top it with cocoa powder, add some extra cool whip on the side with a handful of fresh raspberries, grab a fork and enjoy the flavors of the season. It's magical all over.
There's something about a cake roll that makes me all poetic. The flavor possibilities are endless and can be enjoyed year round. When was the last time you had a slice of a cake roll and what flavor was it?

Closed several times since it was built in 1950, Na San Airport in the northern mountainous province of Son La will be rebuilt before 2020.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has released its latest report on the status of Na San Airport, which is included in the master plan to construct airports in the northwest region, which includes Na San, Lai Chau Airport, and Lao Cai Airport, with total investment capital of VND10 trillion ($450 million).
According to the master plan, Na San Airport will have total investment capital of nearly VND2 trillion ($91.2 million), including VND1.37 trillion ($61.6 million) for its apron and VND612 billion ($27.5 million) for a passenger terminal, with an expected capacity of 900,000 passengers per year by 2020 and 1.5 million by 2030.
Mr. Lai Xuan Thanh, Head of CAAV, said that capital mobilization from the State budget for the airport's construction is difficult because it is not included in the medium-term investment plan for 2016-2020.
"In order to carry out construction before 2020, CAAV has proposed the Ministry of Transport (MoT) report to the Prime Minister on State budget support for certain parts of the airport, with capital of VND639 billion ($28.7 million)," Mr. Thanh said.
Investment in other items such as services and technology will come from private sources and total VND64 billion ($2.88 million). CAAV will call for investment and organize investor options as prescribed.
Na San Airport is 187 km from Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport and 110 km from Dien Bien Phu Airport in the northwest's Dien Bien province. CAAV has said that Na San Airport plays an important role in securing national security and economic development in Son La province in particular and the northwest region in general.
By 2030 the terminal will be expanded by an additional 9,000 sq m, with a capacity of handling 600 passengers during peak hour, or 1.5 million a year.
MoT is also scheduled to build runways, loading areas, administrative areas, flight control decks, and roads across a total area of 498 ha by 2030.
The airport was built in 1950 by the French. During Vietnam's resistance war against the French colonialists it was used as an entrenched fortification by the French Army.
In the 1960s it was renovated to serve travel demand to the northwest region but was closed soon after. It was then re-opened for a decade, but since 1994 has remained unused.
In the master plan for constructing airports in the northwest region, Lai Chau Airport is to see construction begin in 2017 and completed by 2022, with total investment of over VND4.7 trillion ($211.5 million) in the first phase. It will have a capacity of 40,000 passengers per year.
Lao Cai Airport, meanwhile, will have total investment of over VND3 trillion ($135 million) in the first phase, from private capital in the form of direct investment or public-private partnerships. The project is expected to begin in 2017 and be completed in 2019. It will be built as a domestic airport with a capacity of 560,000 passengers per year.
