The Fate of Boeing FB-1 A-6885 24th August 1929
In the summer of 1929, 3 Boeing FB-1's (A-6885, A-6890, A-6891) were transferred from the Navy to the Department of Commerce. 3 Department of Commerce Pilots were assigned to Pilot these aircraft from San Diego to Washington via Yuma, Davis-Monthan, and El Paso.
The delivery was late August 1929 as a flight of 3
The aircraft were assigned as follows
A-6885 Lester J 'Holly' Holoubek - The J I cannot find but maybe Joseph after his father (1901 to 1961)
A-6890 Marshall Sutherland Boggs (1894 to KIFA 1933)
A-6891 Capt. Henry Bishop Pentland (1895 Died 1932)
They arrived Davis-Monthan, Arizona August 22 1929 and stayed the night
I assume they overnighted at El Paso on August 23rd, 1929 however, on August 24th 1929, an accident occurred which resulted in the loss of A-6885
Arizona Daily Star from Tucson, Arizona · Page 2 August 25, 1929

Hello from Newcastle, UK
Hello all :)
I'm Laura and I'm from near Newcastle in the north of England. Been baking bread on and off since OH and I moved in together 2 years ago. Was put off by a gluten intolerance scare but found I can eat small amounts wheat as well as larger amounts of non-wheat grains - my current favourite is spelt. Decided to join here and jump back on the breadmaking waggon and I'm currently working on my first sourdough. Judging by the detailof some of the recipes here, I have a lot to learn. It feels a bit daunting tbh!

She's a television news anchor, for WKBT in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. When she got a negative, outrageous attack email about her weight from a male viewer earlier this year, she turned to the speaking platform at hand--the television cameras.
It's unusual for news anchors to editorialize or to devote an entire segment to themselves, since their role is to guide viewers through the day's news. But in this case, Livingston's outraged husband and fellow news anchor, Mike Thompson, made the email public on the station's Facebook page. Thousands of "likes" and comments flooded in, as did more emails and messages of support. Not all the comments are favorable, you'll note, but that didn't stop her from delivering a four-minute, 20-second message to viewers on the air, saying right up front that she wanted to address a community issue "that centers around me."
She quoted the message from viewer Kenneth Krause, which said, "your physical condition hasn't improved for many years." He said she was not a "suitable example" for young girls and expressing the hope that she would "reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle." Livingston said in response:
The truth is, I am overweight. But to the person who wrote that letter, do you think I don't know that? That your cruel words are pointing out something that I don't see. You don't know me, so you know nothing about me but what you see on the outside and I am much more than a number on a scale.She went on to remind viewers that October is a month devoted to the prevention of bullying, and drew a comparison between what happened to her and what happens to children every day in online messages and encounters at school. Livingston's video message reached far beyond the LaCrosse community, getting well over 10 million views on YouTube and an avalanche of national news coverage that had her making appearances on news and entertainment programs. After the coverage, Krause defended his remarks in a statement. What can you learn from this famous speech?
- Don't let attackers have the last word: Just as when the word "slut" is used to shame women into silence, fat-shaming attacks on their appearance have the same goal--whether it is to silence an individual in the workplace, or as here, a visible woman with a major public platform. So don't be silenced and play into the tactic. Your voice is the most potent weapon you can use to fight back.
- Speak for yourself: Livingston does a great job staying focused on "I" statements, which work because no one else can speak for her. If this response only included "you" statements, it would sound too accusatory and unbalanced. Here, she uses the platform to share thoughts that only she can.
- Broaden the scope of a personal attack: It usually doesn't feel this way, but an attack of this type is rarely about you and more likely about the person making the attack. So call it what it is. By using her situation to call attention to the wider issue of bullying, Livingston gives her audience a direct way to relate to what's happened to her--and takes it beyond weight, so that more people can appreciate what has happened. She's also naming it accurately, without having to stoop to the same type of personal attack meted out to her.

Braves down Giants
San Francisco, CA – Freddie Freeman knocked in the go-ahead run as part of a four-run fifth inning that lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 6-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a four-game set Thursday at AT&T.
Brian McCann clubbed a two-run homer in the second and added an RBI single in the fifth, with Andrelton Simmons and B.J. Upton each knocking in a run during the Atlanta rally that vaulted the Braves to their fourth win in five tries.
"A healthy McCann is a guy who can swing the bat and make a big impact in that lineup," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of McCann, who made his season debut Monday after starting the season on the disabled list due to offseason shoulder surgery. "He makes our lineup a lot better."
Julio Teheran (2-0) tossed seven strong innings, allowing just three hits on seven runs, while Craig Kimbrel worked around a two-out double in the ninth to secure his 100th career save.
Buster Posey belted a two-run homer and plated all three runs for the Giants, who dropped three of their last four games.
Ryan Vogelsong (1-3) struck out seven over 4 1/3 frames, but was tagged for six runs on seven hits and three walks to absorb the loss.
"He was throwing well, it was evident by the strikeouts he was getting," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Vogelsong. "I do think the pitches probably caught up with him a little bit there in the fifth."
San Francisco broke through in its first at-bat, as Posey punched a two-out single to left to score Marco Scutaro, who smacked a ground-rule double earlier in the frame.
The Braves countered in the second on McCann's first homer of the season over the right-field wall to make it 2-1, but after Pablo Sandoval laced a two-out single in the third, Posey launched the ninth pitch of his at-bat into the seats in left-center field to give the home team a 3-2 lead.
The Braves then seized control with a four-run fifth, which started with Jordan Schafer's leadoff triple. Simmons scored Schafer with a groundout before Justin Upton scorched a triple to right.
Freeman followed with a single to right for a 4-3 lead before Vogelsong walked Dan Uggla to spell the end of his night, as Jose Mijares entered from the bullpen.
Mijares promptly served up back-to-back RBI singles to McCann and B.J. Upton to push Atlanta's lead to 6-3 before escaping the frame with back-to-back strikeouts around a walk to Teheran.
Teheran held the Giants to just one hit from there before Eric O'Flaherty and Kimbrel kept the home team off the board over the final two frames.
Game Notes
Kimbrel (24 years, 346 days) became the second youngest pitcher to record 100 saves, trailing Francisco Rodriguez, who accomplished the feat at 24 years, 246 days ... Scutaro extended his hitting streak to nine games ... Atlanta went 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base ... The Giants left five men on base and finished 1-for-6 with RISP.

In response to the public outcries against the proposed selling of the Beecher Street property during a public hearing last month, the Southington Town Council created a bi-partisan "ad hoc" subcommittee to obtain additional information before making a final decision on the former home of the school system's administrative offices.
The ad hoc Beecher Street Use Subcommittee will consist of four voting members: two sitting members from the Town Council—one from each party and two sitting members from the Planning and Zoning Commission—one from each party. They will recommend and analyze all issues of 49 Beecher St., including remediation, additions, demolition and sale of the property, according to a news release from Town Manager Garry Brumback.
"It became very clear after the September 9 meeting that there needs to be more bipartisan discretion on this," said Council Chairman John Dobbins during Monday's Town Council meeting.
During the meeting, the Democratic Party agreed on the establishment of the subcommittee, but expressed concerns with it. Minority Leader Chris Palmieri said his party knows a local resident who qualifies to serve on the subcommittee.
"They have a great sense of community down there, and we think it would be a valuable component of this committee to have a resident be a part of it, and that is not included here," Palmieri said during the meeting.
Palmieri and his party also expressed their concern about serving as members on the subcommittee.
"I also communicated directly…that the three of us, on behalf of my caucus are not able to serve on this committee," Palmieri said.
Dobbins agreed to add the resident as a member of the subcommittee, but disagreed with Palmieri's second concern.
"I agree with you on the resident…I'll make it an ex-officio as a nonvoting member, but this truly has to be a bipartisan board," Dobbins said. "The criteria have always been a sitting council member.
Dobbins said the Town Council would determine who would serve as members of the subcommittee during a regular meeting later this month.

Leonard Kevin "Len" Bias (November 18, 1963 – June 19, 1986) was a first team All-American college basketball player. He was selected by the Boston Celtics as the second overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft on June 17, but died two days later from cardiac arrhythmia induced by a cocaine overdose. He is considered by some sportswriters to be one of the greatest players not to play at the professional level.
Bias was known to friends and family by his childhood nickname "Frosty". He was given the nickname by his good friend and pastor Rev. Gregory Edmond because he was "tall and cool and quiet and unassuming".
From Landover, Maryland, Bias graduated from Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, and subsequently attended the University of Maryland where he became an All-American player.

How much do you pay for house cleaning?
Hiring a professional house cleaning service is a helpful way to have a healthy home even when your work and personal schedule is packed. House cleaning prices vary based on how many square feet your home is, how dirty your house gets, and how often the cleaning service comes. Some companies charge a set amount — such as 5 cents — per square foot, with a minimum amount, such as $100. The national average cost for house cleaning ranges between $110 and $150. Prices can be lower in areas with a lower cost of living, higher in big cities or affluent regions. You may save money by increasing the frequency of your house cleaning visits. Often a company will charge you less per cleaning when you schedule more cleanings per month. The cost advantage rewards your loyalty, and also reflects the fact that more frequent cleanings make it easier to maintain a high level of cleanliness in your home. A housecleaning service may charge more for the first visit or for one-time services than for recurring cleanings.
How often should carpets be steam cleaned?
Dirty carpets can be unhealthy for the people living in the home, particularly those who have allergies, so it's important to have them cleaned regularly; simply vacuuming once or twice a week isn't enough. Carpet cleaning should be done by a professional carpet cleaning service at least once a year to remove grime and help extend the life of your carpet. Most carpet manufacturers recommend professional steam cleaning, which penetrates deep into the carpet fibers and lifts out both dirt and the pollutants that get tracked inside. Steam cleaning also removes most of the moisture, so carpets dry quickly enough for homeowners to resume using them the same day. Between professional carpet cleanings, your carpet may need an emergency spot cleaning. Pet accidents, food or drink spills, and more can often be effectively cleaned with some water and a drop of white vinegar, although many cleaners will also make house calls for smaller spills and hard-to-clean spots like wine or grease stains.
What is upholstery cleaning?
From your carpets to your drapes to your furniture, all fabrics need to be cleaned. Cleaning upholstery, or the fabric on your furniture, removes the dirt and oils that are transferred to couches and chairs through regular use. Because furniture upholstery can be delicate and colors can fade easily, it's often a good idea to let professional sofa cleaners handle the job. They'll determine the type of fabric — usually cotton, linen, wool, suede or microfiber — and the appropriate method for cleaning it, either steam-cleaning or applying a dry-cleaning solvent. In general, cleaning an entire piece of furniture includes a pretreatment, cleaning, and neutralizing rinse to the body, plus removing and cleaning all cushions and cleaning all crevices.
An upholstery cleaner may clean the entire piece of furniture, on a regular schedule or by request, or do spot treatments to remove pet, food, drink, or oil and grease stains. Furniture can also be deodorized to remove the smell of pets or tobacco smoke. Furniture that's used often, like that in your family room, should be cleaned once a year to keep it fresh and extend its life. Sofa cleaners often also offer repair services to mend tears in fabric or patch holes in leather.
How much does it cost to clean a carpet?
Carpet cleaning costs vary depending on the type of cleaning, such as steam cleaning, and whether there are any stains that require special treatment. The main cost factors are the square footage of the carpet and the material it's made from. The national average carpet cleaning price ranges from $100 to $130 for a typical suburban home, but steam cleaning prices start at an average of $120. In general, professional carpet cleaning ranges from an average of 20 cents to 50 cents per square foot, depending on where you live. Many companies have a minimum fee or room requirement — such as two rooms for an average of $40 each — and will charge more to clean carpeted stairs or a second floor. Finally, the carpet fiber type, density and pile will also affect the cost of cleaning; man-made fibers are stain-resistant and easier to clean, while wool carpeting is sensitive to water and requires more care.
How much does it cost to deep clean a house?
Deep cleaning a house goes beyond the surface level to clear out the dust, grime and gunk that's collecting on the fan blades, hiding in the blinds, and built up inside the refrigerator drawers. Deep cleaning of a home or apartment costs more than regular house cleaning because it takes more time, effort, and cleaning products. You may choose to have a deep cleaning once or several times a year in addition to your standard cleaning services. You may have a one-time deep cleaning to prepare for company or to clean after a house party. Companies may charge an hourly rate or a price per square foot, or may offer you a flat rate after they have visited your home and estimated work time. The national average house cleaning price is $110-$150, with rates ranging higher for deep-cleaning services. Here are some examples of how a company may calculate their deep-cleaning prices:
- 10 cents per square foot (compared with 5 cents per square foot for standard house cleaning).
- $300 for a 3,000-square-foot home.
- $25 per hour per worker for deep-cleaning services.

Evergreen has been given the go-ahead to apply to become part of a two-year program that will result in the designation of "creative district" by a state funding agency.
If Evergreen is accepted, a local committee with representatives from all areas of the arts will be given $5,000 in seed money by the state to market and advertise Evergreen for the next two years as a comprehensive arts area, according to Steve Sumner, executive director of Center for the Arts Evergreen.
A New York theater critic once commented that "Apartment 3A," the latest production by the Evergreen Players, refused to be pigeonholed — it is part comedy, part drama, and all heart. This description not only works for "Apartment 3A," but for the Evergreen Players as well. The Players' 2014 season offers a diverse mix of shows, including the musical "Annie," comedic performances by the EPiC improvisation group, and Jeff Daniels' play "Apartment 3A," which opens Friday.
The Center for the Arts Evergreen was pleased to unveil the work of high school artists from throughout our mountain community at the opening reception of the annual High School Art Show on Sunday, March 9. The new show features outstanding artworks from four area high schools — Evergreen, Conifer, Clear Creek and Platte Canyon.
"Fiddler on the Roof," which opened on Broadway in 1964, had the first musical theater run in history to surpass 3,000 performances. For many years, the show was a school- and community-theater staple, and theater critics claim that due to the show's global popularity, there are at least 10 simultaneous productions of "Fiddler on the Roof" in performance somewhere in the world. All we need is one production in our mountain community, and Evergreen High School's interpretation of the time-honored classic should fit the bill.

Birds have always been a source of inspiration for artists. The bald eagle has appeared on all official seals of the United States, as well as on most coinage, paper money, and on many U.S. stamps. Artist John James Audubon became famous for his collection of bird paintings. There is something about these high-flying creatures that encourages great art.
Water has been our constant companion in Evergreen this year. From the downtown flooding in September to a big snow season this winter, we have been surrounded by water in all its forms. The Evergreen Artists Association's spring show, "Water," seems especially fitting. The EAA will put forth its best artwork depicting water in every form — ice, mist, steam, clouds, dew, fog, crystals and snow.
The artistic creations of area elementary school students will be on display at Shadow Mountain Gallery beginning Friday.
Most of the works are two-dimensional, said Don Fairchild, coordinator for the 20th annual school art show at the gallery.
Teachers at each of the participating schools have selected six to eight art pieces created by students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
For Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder John McEuen, his sold-out gig at the Little Bear on Sunday night was a homecoming — from a musician's and a wanderer's perspective.
If you tuned in for the Super Bowl halftime show, you got an eyeful of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Chili Peppers, an iconic male quartet from the 1990s and 2000s, are famous for their frenetic on-stage persona and a funk-rock vibe. True fans of the band, however, appreciate their tight vocal harmonies.

Thx man cud u post one for each week wud love to see if sanchez is playing this bad or the recievers
(Mod's, apologies if this shouldn't be posted. BTW, I wasn't the uploader, just stumbled across it on Youtube.)
From what I gather, "Coaches film shows each play twice, one from high on sideline (All 22 ?), the other from the endzone. Also, is without audio.
Thx man cud u post one for each week wud love to see if sanchez is playing this bad or the recievers
Maybe it's not fair to say this after a game against the 49ers (obviously one of the best, if not THE best defense in the league) but after watching 5 minutes of that I have a little more sympathy for Greene, Powell, Tebow, etc. There are NO holes whatsoever. Matt Slauson is always blocking nobody three yards down the field while our guy is getting stuffed for a 2 gain.
I don't know if Mangold and particularly Moore are coasting on reputation but they are getting zero push either, and are having difficulty holding blocks.
Basically, the coaches tape tells us the following:
-Our QB makes inaccurate throws and terrible decisions often resulting in turnovers
-Our WR corps is unpolished and can't get open despite having decent speed
-Our RBs are below average
-Our offensive line gets no push in the running game and offers relatively poor pass protection as well
We're not exactly Super Bowl bound. There isn't a single thing we do well on offense, and after our defense has been gashed again in the running game there might not be much we do well at all.
Our defense got absolutely manhandled on that 3rd and goal on the first TD. It was men against boys
Thanks for the post.
a couple of things...
The OL not opening up any holes, and the Niners LB's are untouched, unblocked too often.
Bilal Powell must play more on 1st/2nd downs, and Sparano must call for more runs outside the Tackles with him. Defense is clogging the middle with no outside threat.
Kerley is very good, and might be an upgrade in place of Tone.
Mark and the O miss Keller more than I thought.
But the OL sucks..Howard is getting exposed...Mangold is overrated (and he's one of my favorite Jets) Slauson and Moore (old and beat up) are terrible!!
When the rare times there is a hole Greene picks the wrong gap to run thru
I still question if Sparano's new scheme plays some into this, but the OGs and RT are killing this team
Yep we stink. The Pats will once again play for the SB vs the Giants or Packers and we will win our last few games hurting our draft placement like Herman Edwards did when he coached to win vs the Chiefs which took us from a Top 2 pick to 6th and missing out on Ed Reed.
In order for us to go deep n any playoff we have to all of the sudden play better than the broncos, texans, pats, etc...
First drive, its 3rd down.....Tone is wide open right in the middle of the field, sanchez cant see him for some reason and takes a sack. There were enough opportunities missed before the game got out of hand.

Alarmshock™, a revolutionary new wearable that shocks sleepers if they do not get straight up and opt for the snooze button instead, is live on Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the project to life.
When you have to wake up early for a long day, the snooze button can be your best friend. You are just not ready to get out of bed and face the day yet. Plus, your bed is, like, so comfy. The Alarmshock, however, wants to end that by threatening to shock you.
You wear the Alarmshock band, which locks to your wrist, to bed. Once the alarm goes off in the morning, you have two minutes to unlock it and turn off the alarm by tapping it on the top of the Alarmshock dock, which you keep in a separate room, forcing you to physically get up and get moving.
Alarmshock was designed for the 'Chronic Snoozer' to ensure users never miss an important meeting, appointment, or opportunity to accomplish something amazing at the start of their day.
Alarmshock gradually encourages users to develop healthy and positive beginnings towards more productive days.
The electric shocks are equivalent to that of a TENS machine, which tends to be used for nerve stimulation. However, the longer you stay in bed, the more powerful and frequent the shocks get. It's hard to imagine someone not waking up immediately after the first shock, but maybe you had a particularly late night or are a heavy sleeper.
Now, Alarmshock wants to make it clear that the goal is to never wake you up with the shock. First, there's a regular alarm and a vibration on the band; an attempt to gently wake you up. It's when you ignore them that you feel the wrath of Alarmshock.
Alarmshock takes the emotion out of getting up. Logical thinking completely takes over causing them to be more concerned about getting to the docking station and avoiding a shock. This results in the user getting up when their alarm goes off, rather than hitting the snooze button. Completely avoiding morning battles with the duvet.
For years, inventors and businesses have been coming up with different ways to wake people up. Everything currently on the market only wakes the user up. Alarmshock takes this a step further by forcing the wearer not just to wake up but get up. A true innovation, that helps users become more productive in their lives. By getting up at the same time every day, people can train themselves with a reliable sleep pattern that over time makes it easier and easier to get up. "Here at Alarmshock we realized the difference between waking up and getting up," says founder Callum.

A song I'm very familiar with describes me as 'a book of pages, waiting to be filled... a heart that's hopeful, a head that's full of dreams...
But this becoming is harder than it seems.'
Hmm... it doesn't help when I get thrown around from Nebraska to Chicago, to Florida, in a few month's time. While still struggling with my mom's pitiful drama, my heartache that stems from my missing siblings, and the memories of some certain men who made sure I'd never forget them.
Now I'm here, in a barracks, learning badass shit, and I'm restless as all get out. Time has become non existent in my life. Every weekend I hit the beach, marvel at the salt water, eat some seafood. I've got a little worry in the back of my mind, shouting, 'in a few months this will all be gone. What will you do then?' And I don't want it. Go away, worry.
Not sure where this is going, but it feels good to write it out.

The Old Soul
Out of the mists of ancient times
A whisper wafts on the winds of fate
And settles like a well worn care
In my soul.
With it's zodiac cry, and siren lullaby
Singing as mournfully as a childless mother
Keening it's tale into my being, relentlessly
Crushing my heart.
Bringing memories of the darkness
The deepest pain known to mankind
And the sorrow of a world aging
To unknown death...
What is this broken song?
Whose are these lingering words?
Are they somehow, inevitably
Forever a part of me?
This inspiration of hopelessness
The drive to give up the fight for now
Because the past has conquered the future
The present is destined?
Surely this cannot be the message of the old soul
For I have come to love another
And in this one lifetime, what love have I
That can withstand time?
So speaks the old soul into my fragile frame
This mortal host in which I live, for now
Until the next life, and next love,
Carry me away.

Inside My Head, Installment #17
I really feel like writing right now. It kind of sucks, because I have a generous hangover and looking at this glaring white screen feels not awesome. But, my mind is coming up with some awesome things, that I should definitely be writing down. Like this one:
Epic battle being fought right now between hangover and feel-better pills. My body is a battleground, and I think the pills are definitely winning, but hangover is getting a few good last kicks in there. Also, gatorade tastes good going both ways.
I know I shouldn't drink to get rid of my problems. I've done that twice in my life. Once was when I was in college. My friend Dean and I were close, and he wanted to try dating, and I didn't. But I didn't want to hurt him... so I drank away the situation. It was kind of funny, cause I was sitting in the car waiting for my friends, and I threw up in a theater popcorn bag, and then I sat there and inhaled the smell of the bag cause I love popcorn smell. But that night sucked, cause I felt so alone, and I felt like the pain intensified with my intoxication levels.
I'm very glad to say, I'm learning some great new strategies on how to deal with my problems. The other day, instead of freaking out about things that are bothering me, I went and talked to the chaplain on base. Also, last night I emotionally and verbally vomited on my shipmates for about 4 hours. And they, amazing people that they are, listened and really helped me think logically about the situation. I feel a lot better for being honest.
On to better subjects. Hang on, I'm going to go get some crackers and pee. Be right back...
I've changed a lot since I left for boot camp. It's kind of awesome, nothing negative. I just didn't know I had the potential to change so much. I'm not just talking about physically, although that's one of the cooler changes. Yesterday I went shopping for jeans, because mine are falling off of me. I told the saleslady, "I was a size 29 when I left, and I think I went down, maybe to a 28." She looked at me and suggested I try a 26. I laughed a little and decided to humor her. And they fit!!! They fit well! I freaked out in the dressing room. It was super.
(Three days later)
I'm back... I was having a pretty fun day when I started this post. But, it actually doesn't sound too bad, so rather than delete it, I'll add on...
I was talking about the 'other-than-physical' changes since boot camp. One is that I've been able to step back and see the much bigger picture. Not that I always sit there and stare at the bigger picture, but I'm more aware of it now. Since I share a barracks with a hundred people who are all very different than me, and we are all being completely indoctrinated with military values, I've learned that some of the best people for my life are the ones I would never have 'cliqued' with, I guess, in the civilian world.
When I thought of the Navy, I was scared of the fact that no one I knew was going with me. It seemed like a really huge step, and I didn't even have the comfort of knowing I could go home if it didn't work out. I had seen my roommate's courage fail her, and I fought the same fear. I'm really glad now that I made that choice, though. Because my circle of friends is growing so fast. In 2 months, I worked with over 80 of the sharpest sailors in the Navy. And made fast friends with a lot of them. After all, we did survive some pretty rough waters for 9 weeks, side by side. And now I have the honor of working here on base with some pretty awesome people.
My class consists of 16 students. Six of us are fresh out of Navy bootcamp. Eight are soldiers straight out of boot camp, and the other two are fleet returnees-coming back from a ship for more schooling. So far we have a lot of fun. We got our first piece of classified information yesterday, and I'm really excited to learn a whole lot more. The soldiers are really fun. I've got a sparring date with a few of them... wish me luck!!
I'm going to write more soon, as well as post pictures next time. Byeee...

And Now, From the Humor Department:
So, Sailors are pretty funny creatures. We have our moments, definitely. Even those of us who are intelligence. Yup. These scenarios made me crack up. Maybe they will make you smile too. Like this: :) <------ (smile)
Scene: Building that we are cleaning
(Moments before, Sailor Myers and I walk into the building, to inhale a giant lungful of pine-sol, brass cleaner, and bleach)
Me: Wow, it stinks pretty strong in here.
Myers: Yeah-woah, my head feels light and dizzy.
Me: I'm going to throw up?
Myers: Why are we laughing so hard?
Me: I think we're high.
(yelling) Hey, join the Navy! You can get high as a kite and get paid to do it!! Hooyah U.S. Navy!!
We then turn a corner and run into Petty Officer and Chief, both staring us down with raised eyebrows.
Myers and I, collectively: I did NOT just say that.
Scene: Getting ready for the weekend
Petty Officer, known as FC1: So, if you're not phase 2 yet, you know you can't leave base. There are plenty of things to do on base. There's the bowling alley, for instance. The theater.
Sailor Morris: The pool is open now.
FC1: There's a lovely place called the gym.
Morris: There's also the pool.
FC1: The pool is open too. You can all hang out there. Obviously there isn't room for you all to be in there at once. You'll have to take turns. Five, or six of you at once.
Morris: That's... what she said.
Curtain closes on sailors, suffocating on their own laughter.
Scenario: Who cares? It's funny anywhere.
Sailor Bennett: How many Sailors does it take to rob a bank?
(everyone stares inquisitively, except those who just stare dumbly)
Bennett: Three. One to rob the bank, and two road guards.
Morris: Yeah? Want to hear a funny joke? Women's rights.

Up for General Consensus
So... Do you want to see more pictures, or more posts? I'm chill about either, I just don't know what's more enjoyed. I personally love reading people's posts on their blogs, but pictures make the blog more personable and I love that too. Thoughts?
Also, I just ate two amazing cheeses, ritz crackers, green olives, and roasted chicken for lunch. And now I'm extremely satisfied.

Pulling On A Hundred Heart Strings
At first it was the thought of something new
A challenge, like a breath on the mountaintop.
I longed to dance around it, always just out of reach
But always close enough to feel the thrill
But then you caught me.
And now you're pulling
On a hundred heart strings
Leaving me breathless
How did you expect that to turn out?
Of course we both knew.
That we'd end up dancing with danger
But safe in each other's arms
And all the emotions that toy with our brains
Could become our enemies
Or could usher in this thing that is us.
I guess the magic of it all is not knowing
Not really needing to know.
Whether a fling or forever
A hundred heart strings are tied
I don't mind if they stay secured always.

Father's Day... With a Wry Twist
This is going to be an interesting little thank you note. I got the idea the other night while talking to my friend, who also was my recruiter in Norfolk. Thanks for the inspiration, Petty Officer.
Fathers. I've had a few. From the man who unwittingly inherited the title to the guy who bought it, and a few who earned it. This is a shout out to my fathers.
James R.
I guess it's easy to become a dad. It's definitely not a slight responsibility to have suddenly thrust upon you, as I've observed. The hard thing about you, Dad, is that I really don't have much to go by. The women of my family are a bit confusing as to your intentions. I've heard that you're a really great man who treated my mother right, and she didn't know how to take that. Believable. Then there's the story that you were a sweet talker without a plan, a romancer of many. Knowing my family, I guess that's believable too. I've heard that you're tall, lean, and built out of whipcord. I've heard you had intense blue eyes and a personality that stole hearts. I've been told many times that I'm a lot like you.
Since all I have to go by is rumor, I'm going to take the unassuming stance and thank you for what I know you gave me. Pretty sure I'd be nothing without you. It would be kind of hard to make me without your gene pool and hereditary makeup. I rather am thankful for being alive. Also, I wish I could know a little more about you someday.
Warren B.
If the road to Heaven were paved with good intentions, you'd probably be way ahead of anyone else I've known. That's why it's so hard to look at you with anger. Because I know that you actually, painstakingly tried your hardest to make me love you. You worked with an incredible handicap, communication barriers, and a heart full of pain to touch my little life. And I acknowledge that. I'm sorry for not focusing on that more. Little kids aren't able to see the big picture. I know you messed up, but I understand why now. I feel your frustration and I wish I could make it better for you. You should know that I'm thankful for several things that seem most insignificant. Like your devotion to the woman who gave you children. Your constant attention to detail. I guess I'm most thankful for your very sensitive heart.
If I could get past all the hurt and pain you caused, I would tell you this to your face. You deserved a better end than what you got, and I'm sorry for my part. Also sorry for being unable to give you my heart. But you have my sympathy and affections.
Joe M.
Charlie B.
Neil H.
Michael W.S.
Guy P.
This goes out to the individuals who acted as life preservers throughout my early years. Because as insignificant as it may have seemed at the time, each of you were a father in my eyes. You gave me a place with your children, and that was a precious gift. You showed me what a father's love should feel like. You gave me so much more than physical comforts. You showed me the power of a hug from dad, a few words spoken with emotion and truth, and an acceptance of the messed up kid that I was. I love you with daughter's love in return, and I live my life in a way that I hope would make you proud.
Jim H.
It's been a long and slow process, but I think I've finally found a closure in my crazy mixed up life in the father department. You came into my life at a time when I'd finally given up on the dream of family. Your son became my hero because he knew how to embrace life and people from all backgrounds and lifestyles. Now I see where it comes from. This family is incredibly accepting and steadfast. You've given me a whole new start on the idea of being part of a close family. It's an honor to be part of your family, and I thank you for the chance.
At last, it's a real Happy Father's Day!

Boot Camp Lessons
This was a letter I wrote a few days before graduation from boot camp. I never got to send it, but since I described some powerful lessons learned, I decided to post it here. Enjoy...
Dear Aaron,
This is probably going to get to you at a time when it is no longer relevant in any way. But, I kind of want to write it anyway, because this is a big moment and I think I might remember it forever.
It's almost 3 am. I just got off night security watch. I am sitting tonight because I an on a light/limited duty status due to a stomach bug. I'm in my Navy working coveralls. Division 925 has worn these once before, at fire fighting. But this is our official Battle Stations dress. My boots are freshly waxed with several coats for protection against whatever awaits me tonight. I'm wearing my recruit ball cap for the last day. In 17 hours, I will be reporting to the USS Trayor for Battle Stations and I will start the final test I must pass in order to graduate boot camp on Friday.
It's amazing to think, it's finally here. Seems like a few weeks ago that I was in my Navy sweats, wandering around with a group of dazed recruits, with no idea what was going on at all, or why people were getting yelled at. Suddenly, here I am. No longer a civilian, but a trained, disciplined, confident person who is setting out on a very big adventure.
In three hours, we'll be waking up, just like any other day.In fact, tomorrow we have almost nothing to do, except to review basic things we've learned. At 1700, we begin packing for the overnight ordeal. By 2030, we will be climbing aboard the Trayor at long last. We finish at 9 am the next morning, tired, hungry and elated. That afternoon I'll get to call you for the first time in 4 weeks. I hope I can remember all I need to say. We stay up all day Tuesday, the final stretch in the Battle Stations process.
In reality, this ride has had major ups and downs. Missing you was the hardest thing. Giving up music was almost as bad. The emotional wringer you get put through every time a shipmate gets set back in training. Frustration when you do the right thing, but someone else doesn't, and you are held at fault for it. The exhaustion you feel after a night of standing watch. the pain of waiting another day at boot camp, wishing you were home instead. All of these things tempt you to give up trying, every day.
As hard as it is to admit this, the bad experiences all play into the good that has happened here. Fear is a decent motivator sometimes. Pushing yourself to the limit shows you how much further your limit extends than you thought it did. When you move past your pain, you begin to realize you've actually grown stronger.
That's really what gets you through in this place. Several times I would try to motivate myself with thoughts of things I wanted. At the pool, I told myself I was doing it because I wanted the Hoyts to be proud of me. On the track, I wrote down 12 things that included my rage at my family, my need to get out of here, and my love for you, and planned to think of one per lap. But when the moment of truth came, every attempt I made to motivate myself vanished. I would lose all direction and cower at the horrible, impossible task I saw before me. And at that point, something I didn't know I had in me would emerge and shove me headfirst into that impossible thing, and seconds later, I would find myself on the winning side, in shock and disbelief.
I've had that moment several times since I came here. The two biggest ones were during the 9 foot jump at the pool and during my final PFA. At the end of those two events, I felt like I could graduate that day, because to me, I had just conquered the biggest mountains I had encountered in my life. Tonight I look forward to facing that mountain again. Now, i know that I can do nearly or seemingly impossible things, and that is very confidence-inspiring.
I can't wait to see you and hug you tight in a few days!! And after this, we get to spend the rest of our lives together. I love you and miss you. Goodnight!

Physical Training
Never knew physical workouts could be torture sessions
As you finish a short sprint, your hands hit the asphalt
And we lift and lower our bodies in the muggy morning
Pulling strength from an inner source we never had before
Searching for that last spurt of energy
Our hearts pound against the walls of our ribs,
Screaming back at our lungs to let us relax.
Somehow, I finish first, and collapse to the gritty surface
Sucking in air as I wait for you
And then we are up, on our feet and bracing ourselves
Lunging forward into another high-speed run
This, we knew, was the Navy life
But now, in it's raw reality, we wonder if we should regret
But as the sun dominates the morning sky
We head to the showers, ready to dominate another day.

10/16/2014 11:24PM CDT - At least one passenger from the Carnival Magic, currently offshore of Belize, has reportedly had contact with the Ebola virus. According to a report made by the Belize Ministry Of Health (MOH) tonight, the person did not go ashore today in Belize. The person in question is reportedly a Texas hospital worker who handled a lab specimen from Thomas Eric Duncan, the man who died of Ebola in Dallas.
A local TV station, Channel 7 in Belize, reports having credible information that a "couple" from the cruise ship presently anchored off Belize City, is on a ship tender, unable to return to the cruise ship, while also being refused entry to Belize City to catch an air ambulance awaiting at the International Airport to take them to the the US (see official Belize Press Release letter below). The television station in its broadcast tonight said Belize health authorities so far have refused to deny or confirm the report of denying the individuals access to the country.
The Carnival Magic departed from Galveston Texas on Sunday, October 12 arrived in Mahogany Bay, Honduras on Wednesday October 15 and arrived in Belize this morning, Thursday October 16. The ship was scheduled to leave Belize en route to Cozumel this evening at 5:00pm. As of 9:00pm local time tonight it was still anchored in Belizean waters near State Bank Caye. The ship is reportedly carrying 3652 passengers and a total population of 4633 persons onboard. The Belize Coast Guard has been deployed to prevent anyone from leaving the ship; including the Belizean pilot on board. Belize is a very poor country which survives mainly on tourism. The healthcare infrastructure is very limited. The Belize's Ministry of Health just last week stated that in the event of an outbreak of Ebola in Belize, no patient would be allowed into the commercial capital Belize City, where most of the Belize government cabinet officials reside. The MOH stated that the government hospital, the Karl Heuesner Memorial Hospital has only one Intensive Care Unit and they would not allow this to be overrun with Ebola patients.
Update: 10/17/2014 3:00AM CDT - The Texas healthcare worker and a companion are now onboard the Carnival Magic enroute back to Galveston. They have been isolated on the cruise ship despite showing NO symptoms relating directly to Ebola, the US Department of State said on Friday. The Texas healthcare worker had been self monitoring since last Monday and has yet to develop a fever or have any signs of Ebola. The healthcare worker and companion left the country on the cruise prior to the US Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updating its' requirements for active monitoring and travel limitations which now includes them. The healthcare worker may have processed bodily fluids of, the now deceased, Thomas Eric Duncan 19 days ago. The maximum incubation period for Ebola is currently believed to be 21 days.
...more updates as they are available.

Telstra has restored Internet and data services for 91 large business customers in southwest Victoria after a fire took out part of the telco's exchange in Warrnambool.
The businesses included "a number of banks, medical, utility, government and transport customers," Telstra said.
Mobile service is back up for more than 80 per cent of the impacted area, Telstra said. The telco has also restored service to payphones, 250 medical priority assistance customers, essential services, and more than 450 other priority lines including for retirement homes and schools using two mobile exchanges on wheels.
Telstra has sent a third mobile exchange to Warrnambool and is expected to arrive early tomorrow morning, with all communications now restored for the township of Balmoral, it said.
Telstra has been working to restore service since the fire hit on Thursday morning. Telstra has 50 technicians on site making repairs, working across two 12-hour shifts.
"Today technicians remain focused on restoring transmission cabling and replacing equipment which carries landline telephone services," Telstra said. "Work will also be undertaken to restore coverage to customers in a number of townships by re-routing services through other exchanges."

Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Lubbock, got into a public spat with a National Parks Service employee Wednesday over who should have access to the World War II Memorial during the government shutdown.
Neugebauer was visiting the memorial Wednesday with a group of tourists, but was not allowed past police-imposed barriers. Earlier this week, police removed the barriers to allow World War II veterans into the memorial, which has sparked more controversy about keeping the monuments and museums open.
Neugebauer was caught on NBC Washington's cameras fighting with the officer at the memorial, telling her she should be ashamed of not allowing people in the park.
"How do you look at them and…deny them access? I don't get it," the Republican Congressman said.
"It's difficult," the park service officer responded.
After saying the Parks Service should be ashamed of their actions of denying people access to the memorials, the officer said, "I'm not ashamed."
"You should be," Neugebauer is heard replying before walking away.
His comments appeared to rile up the sizable crowd he was with, as one person was overheard saying it doesn't cost any money to allow people into the memorials, while others defended the woman's decision.
"This woman is doing her job just like me," a man in the background shouted at the Congressman. He said he was a 30-year federal employee out of work and was angry that the government was not doing its job.
After making a comment about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Neugebauer appeared to walk away from him.
The House of Representatives passed a resolution Wednesday evening to appropriate funding to memorials and museums to continue their operations, but it's questionable if it will pass, as Democrats have said they will not allow a piecemeal funding approach to pass.

Special Court for Sierra Leone: Achieving Justice?
Michigan Journal of International Law, Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 395-460, April 2011
University of Pittsburgh Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2010-31
Florida International University Legal Studies Research Paper No. 17-30

Date Written: September 7, 2010
The Sierra Leone war, which lasted between 1991 and 2002, gained notoriety around the world for "blood" or "conflict" diamonds and some of the worst atrocities ever perpetrated against civilians in a modern conflict. On January 16, 2002, the United Nations and the Government of Sierra Leone signed an historic agreement to establish the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL). In setting up a new type of ad hoc criminal tribunal, the parties sought to achieve two key objectives. First, to dispense credible justice by enabling the prosecution of those bearing greatest responsibility for the wartime atrocities based on international standards of justice, fairness and due process of law. Second, to help restore peace and promote national reconciliation in Sierra Leone. Today, as the SCSL completes its last and most important trial (of former Liberian President Charles Taylor) in The Hague, this article uses the stated objectives of its founders to assess whether the tribunal has fulfilled its intended goals. It is argued that, while the SCSL ably discharged part of its core mandate, it also had some serious shortcomings given the limited number of persons ultimately prosecuted and the gross inequality of arms between the Prosecution and the Defense.

I have something extraordinary to share with you. Here is an email I received in response to Tuesday's posting: the indomitable human spirit
Dear Dr. Dick,
About your post today…thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate your words and I love that Roman and his girlfriend are having a good time and are willing to explore options.
I am disabled. I had polio as a 13 month old baby in 1955 and use forearm crutches for very short distances and a manual wheelchair for everything else. Basically, my shoulders serve the same function as hips do for others. Due to polio, multiple surgeries and post polio muscular atrophy, I also have some reduced sensation from the hips down and a lack of control with both legs.
I am also a very sensual and sexual person. I love the physical feeling of being touched and kissed, and absolutely relish having orgasms. I love the emotional rush of planning, organizing and getting ready for a sexy time with my guy, and I love the psychological boost of knowing I am desirable.
I have found the world of BDSM to be extremely helpful to me. I have a leather bustier and thong with flames; we have a restraint system under the mattress, a flogger, blindfolds, Hitachi Wand, assorted dildos and other fun toys. While I think people may come from the womb wired for a mindset that jives with BDSM, for someone disabled in the way that I am there are definite perks. The extra levels of touch and physical stimulation in BDSM play help me build toward an orgasm. The building of mood with language throughout the day, calling my guy Master, his comments about spanking my butt after supper, laying out the clothes, choosing the toys from our toy box, lighting the candles for wax play and burning my favorite incense…all work together to get me in the mood, physically and mentally.
BDSM is so much about the focus, the connection and the attention – either using all the senses, or purposely withholding one sense or another, that many people in the BDSM world already make adaptations for personal differences in play and are acutely aware when someone responds more sensually to a quiet whisper rather than a normal tone of voice, or to the sensations of one type of clamp rather than another. In that world, individual differences are considered normal, so my differences seem to make less difference to them. I know of several couples where one or both are disabled and choose to attend BDSM functions…and frequently it is the woman or man in the wheelchair who is the Dom in the relationship.
Vaginal intercourse is difficult for me. I don't have the muscle tone to provide adequate stimulation for my guy to reach orgasm. The adaptation for that is oral or anal intercourse. I went to my gynecologist for a frank talk about any special concerns about anal intercourse for someone in my physical situation. I also called and talked with the Dom of a BDSM dungeon to ask the same questions. He gave me some great advice and ideas, probably more specific and useful information than the doctor.
I have found the Liberator pillows to be extremely helpful for positioning and, combined with the under the mattress restraint system, there is much less problem with losing control of my legs and accidentally kicking someone. Regular bed pillows and other positioning cushions that I have tried over the years would just scoot out from under me and were usually more frustrating than helpful. With any restraint system attention has to be paid to circulation and the restrained person never left alone, but that is true whether the people involved are disabled or not.
All that being said, a sense of dedication and a sense of humor are absolute necessities! Our attitude is one of discovering how to make things work rather than questioning whether they are possible. And humor simply must be part of the process. At one point I decided satin sheets and a matching sexy gown would be a great surprise to put my guy over the moon. A friend came over and put the satin sheets on the bed for me and when my guy arrived home I was waiting in the silky nightie on those expensive satin sheets. My beloved was quite excited and reached out to gently push me over just a bit so he could join me on the bed. Odd how slick those sheets were. I went sailing across the sheets and off the other side of the bed onto the floor. We laughed until we cried.
Thanks again for helping get the word out that disability does not equate to celibacy.

Casino Royale was written by Ian Fleming as the first ever James Bond book in 1953. Ian was a commander who worked with naval intelligence in the war - he really did lead a life of high stake gambling in exotic locations. He wrote this book from his homestead "Goldeneye" in Jamaica.
When Bond first meets some French agents, he orders for them. The guy gets a "fine a l'eau" - a classic cocktail of Cognac and water. The girl gets a "Bacardi" (rum, my favorite brand). It doesn't say that James gets anything for himself. The first drink we see James drink is a straight whisky 'on the rocks' (quotes theirs) in his room.
Next, in the casino, we get the first ever description of his classic drink. Here's the verbatim text from the book:
"Bond insisted on ordering Leither's Haig-and-Haig 'on the rocks' [a quality Scotch whiskey - Lisa] and then he looked carefully at the barman.
'A dry martini,' he said. 'One. In a deep champagne goblet.'
'Oui, monsieur.'
'Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's [an English gin - Lisa], one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. [this is NOT vermouth - see below!] Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?'
'Certainly, monsieur.' The barman seemed pleasant with the idea.
'Gosh that's certainly a drink,' said Leiter.
Bond laughed. 'When I'm ... er ... concentrating.' he explained, 'I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name.'
He watched carefully as the deep glass became frosted with the pale golden drink, slightly aerated by the bruising of the shaker. He reached for it and took a long sip.
'Excellent,' he said to the barman, 'but if you can get a vodka made with grain instead of potatoes, you will find it still better.'
A short while later when he's sharing a carafe of vodka, nestled in a bowl of crushed ice, with the female agent, he learns her name is Vesper. He says:
'Can I borrow it?' He explained about the special martini he had invented and his search for a name for it. 'The Vesper,' he said. 'It sounds perfect and it's very appropriate to the violet hour when my cocktail will now be drunk all over the world. Can I have it?'
Lillet and Vermouth
Note that some claim that Kina Lillet is a vermouth. It is NOT A VERMOUTH :) My research shows Lillet Kina is a wine based drink that has quinine in it. Kina refers to the Kina Kina (quinquina) tree where quinine comes from. In fact back in the James Bond days it was VERY bitter and the entire drink would have been quite bitter. They changed the formula in the mid-80s to have less quinine, and now it comes in "Lillet Blanc" and "Lillet Rouge". They're made in Podensac, in France. Technically they are "French aperitif wines". They are a blend of wine grapes, oranges, orange peels and quinine.
Vermouth, on the other hand, is a fortified wine - i.e. wine kicked up with heavy alcohol. They then add in herbs and spices. The main types of vermouth are dry vermouth, sweet red vermouth, and white vermouth.

Last week, dating service OkCupid urged people to stop using Mozilla's Firefox browser following Mozilla's appointment of Brendan Eich as its CEO.
That's because Eich opposed gay marriage back in 2008 by donating $1,000 in support of Proposition 8, a California referendum to ban gay marriage in that state.
Eich has since resigned, but investor and Techcrunch founder Mike Arrington believes that OkCupid's stated intentions — to protest the Mozilla CEO's anti-gay marriage views — are "hypocritical."
"I believe that it was a PR stunt by OkCupid, that the company isn't really committed to gay rights at all, and that OkCupid co-founder Sam Yagan was particularly hypocritical in this," Arrington writes on Uncrunched.
According to federal election records, Yagan donated $500 in 2004 to U.S. Congressman Chris Cannon who has a " special kind of hate for gays," Arrington writes. Cannon received a 0% rating on supporting gay rights from the Human Rights Campaign. He also voted for a ban on gay adoptions, and supported a constitutional amendment defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, Arrington writes.
"Is it absurd to judge Yagan as a person based on a single donation, years ago, to a politician well known for waging war on gays?" Arrington says on his blog. "Yup. But that is precisely what Yagan and OkCupid did to Eich."
"To go further, I think that a person and/or a company who deliberately destroy a man's reputation and career under false pretenses just to get a PR bump is being explicitly evil," Arrington says.
Business Insider has reached out to Yagan and will update this story if we hear back.

Rays power past Indians to win series
Cleveland, OH – Evan Longoria and Yunel Escobar each slammed two-run homers as the Tampa Bay Rays dismantled the Cleveland Indians, 11-3, to win the rubber match of a three-game series at Progressive Field on Sunday.
Longoria finished with three RBI while James Loney knocked in two. Jose Lobaton, Ryan Roberts and Kelly Johnson each added one RBI apiece for the Rays, who have won seven of their last eight.
"The bottom part (of the lineup) really has contributed a lot," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of his team's recent success. "One through nine we feel pretty good about scoring runs."
Jeremy Hellickson (3-2) yielded three runs on nine hits with four strikeouts over five frames to record the win.
Mike Aviles had a two RBI single and Yan Gomes drove in a the other run for the Indians.
Tampa Bay took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. Zach McAllister (4-5) saw his 11 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings come to an end early after Loney hit a two-out, two-run double off the glove of center fielder Michael Bourn.
The Rays added another run in the third, when Joyce worked a walk and later scored on a Longoria slapper to right.
Sam Fuld started off the fourth with a leadoff triple, his second of the season. An infield single by Lobaton brought home the run.
McAllister had his shortest outing of the season, going just 4 1/3 innings, surrendering five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits while walking four.
"I didn't have great command today," McAllister admitted. "I fell behind hitters and put guys on base and when you do that things happen. You give up runs."
The Indians had four straight two-out hits in the fourth to pull within one. Mark Reynolds and Carlos Santana started the rally with singles. Gomes doubled to score the first run then Aviles singled to center to cut Cleveland's deficit to 4-3.
Gomes gave a run back to the Rays in the fifth when he tried to throw out Kelly Johnson stealing third and the ball got past Longoria at third base, allowing Johnson to score.
Escobar's two-run shot to center off Cleveland reliever Nick Hagadone in the sixth gave the Rays a four-run cushion, and Tampa Bay's lead doubled two innings later.
Longoria's homer in the eighth capped off a four run inning for the Rays, which also included a Roberts RBI single and a Johnson sacrifice fly.
Game Notes
Cleveland manager Terry Francona was ejected in the fifth inning for arguing a strike call ... The Indians have won 6 of 11 games started by McAllister ... Joyce has reached base in 30 straight starts, dating back to April 15 at Boston ... Longoria ended a 19-game home run drought with his shot in the eighth inning.

Military, Public Service, Training
By D Smith | March 1, 2009

The wheels no more than hit the pavement and the usual frenzy breaks loose as 80% of the passengers on the plane scramble to get their cell phones out and turned on. As I look around I can't help but wonder what in the world we ever did before cell phones. Eventually I follow suit, break mine out, turn it on and call my point of contact for an update. Two hours and a short cab ride later I'm shaking hands, making small talk, and meeting the others gathered for the event. During the course of conversation I'm reminded that even though many of the faces are new, the stories are all very familiar. One lady tells me she is a retired army aviator now flying for a growing EMS operator. Another says his father was a helicopter pilot and he was raised around choppers. Flying is all he ever wanted to do. Rightfully proud, he shares his current position as a flight captain for a large offshore operator. Others include the 141 flight school chief pilot, several local news station pilots, local law enforcement, and a one-ship small oil field service operator.
Several common denominators galvanize this group; all helicopter, all willing to share information, all in search of answers, all voluntarily attending, and all passionate about aviation safety. Where am I? This is a coordinated and cooperative gathering of helicopters operators within any given geographical area in the United States. What a fantastic and very noteworthy concept. Bring all the operators together to discuss helicopter issues particular to the local area of operation. Organized and sponsored solely by the operators and for the operators, these meetings have proven to be a very effective means of identifying and controlling aviation safety hazards and related issues; if for no other reason than centralized dissemination of information.
The agenda includes an opportunity for those in attendance to speak out and make comments. That's usually when things get really interesting. I like to call it the shark theory. You know, when one shark finds the meal, takes a bite and bloodies the water, every shark within 1,000 miles smells the blood and rushes to maul the prey. The master of ceremonies gets that "what should I do" look of panic as he realizes he's no longer in control of the discussion. As the discussion, (or frenzy I should) say continues, an uneasy sense of familiarity melts over me. I've heard these same comments over and over, and I'll bet you have also. And, you know what? It's not the specific topic that is familiar. It's the principle.
It was the big, burly guy named Jim who started the whole frenzy on this particular day. Jim is a newly appointed and recently trained aviation safety manager/pilot for a small helicopter operator. Jim's argument rang throughout the room like an echo in the Swiss Alps. His remark was to the point. "I'm an experienced pilot" he said. "And I know when I'm handed a high risk mission to fly. I understand the concept of risk verses benefit. The trouble is the pilot is usually not the one that needs convincing to turn down a high risk mission. Most pilots and supervisors know the solution to safe aviation operations, but until someone convinces the bean counters, there is little we can about the situation. And it won't do much good to seek employment elsewhere, most operators are the same" he added. "Oh yeah, and look around the room, the bean counters are not here, are they!"
At the conclusion of his comments the room erupted into a loud rumble of agreement, the sharks were circling. Jim and everyone else who ever uttered those sentiments are exactly right! The tail cannot wag the dog. Pilots, supervisors and mid-level management do not have the ability to change the way your organization conducts business. Jim and his coworkers may very well have solutions, but they do not have the authority to implement. Only the senior leadership, such as the CEO or president, can effect organizational change. Good or bad, senior leaders establish the culture of an organization. And that's why it is so important for the rotorcraft community to focus effort on changing our culture. Changing culture really means a change of heart and a change of thought process. It starts at the top and to be effective must be aimed at changing the hearts of every employee in your organization.
By the way if you do not have a cooperative helicopter safety forum in your area and you are interested in developing one, contact one of the guys listed below to learn more about their meetings, how they work, and how to start one in your community.
Periodic meetings exactly like the one I describe are springing up all over. Operator-driven and resourced, the purpose of the meeting is to enhance safety in the helicopter community. These meetings are a cooperative effort, attended by individuals from local helicopter operators, including competitors. And it's a good thing too. Most would agree we have room for improvement.
