|The Nebraska Senior Softball League was started with the primary goal to promote softball and improve the physical, mental and spiritual wellness of seniors in Omaha and surrounding communities who enjoy Fun, Fitness and Fellowship. The league is open to everyone above the age of 50 years and provides an excellent avenue for exercising and friendly competition. Summer league games for 2015 will be played starting April 27nd and running through late July, on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the La Vista Sports Complex at 66th & Harrison. Our Fall league games will also be played on Monday and Wednesday evenings from August to October.
For the more energetic and skilled players who want to extend their playing beyond the friendly confines of the Senior League, there are five age group select tournament teams, 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, and 70+, who compete in local, state, regional, and national tournaments. So, if you turn 50 anytime during the current year, or if you have already passed that milestone, you can join the league right now! You do not have to live in Nebraska to play. If you desire additional information, please browse our website and/or contact our Director of Player Personnel, or any of the other League Directors.

Pay R1399 for a one-night stay in a King room for two people, valued at R3295
The Hotel
We stayed 5 nights at New Kings and it was the perfect way to wrap up our bustling tour of Southern Africa. Our room was spacious and well-appointed. We loved: the super comfortable bed, our view of the ocean, the huge bath tub, the french press coffee in our room, and all of the other perks that came with our room. The buffet breakfast was pretty extensive, so there's something for everyone. This was helpful since we had breakfast here 5 days in a row! You can enjoy breakfast while looking out onto a beautiful ocean view. Gorgeous! The location of New Kings is great. It's close to the water and close to the M6 that leads to the key tourist spots. Plus, it's located in a complex with other shops and restaurants (try Simply Asia for quick and good Thai food). Especially considering the price, which included breakfast and internet, I would love to stay here if I'm in Cape Town again.

Although I've taken them from many different sources (both various books and internet sites), I cannot testify to their accuracy or whether they are merely one of those urban myths we hear about. However, as this is just a bit of fun I'm assuming the TRUE answers are correct or at least applied at some time in the past, even if they have since been repealed. The FALSE ones were made up by me or are common misconceptions and might (or might not) contain an explanation. Run your cursor over the quote box (holding down the left click) to reveal the answer.
Have a go and post how many you got right, and please let me know if you want more.
1: For the debaters on the 'Capital Punishment Thread', according to a British law passed in 1845, attempting to commit suicide was a capital offence, punishable by hanging.
2: It is legal to kill a Scotsman in York if he is carrying a bow and arrow.
3: In England, it is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance.
4: In England, the police must obtain a search warrant before entering your house or car.
5: In England, a pregnant woman may relieve herself anywhere she likes, including (if she requests) in a policeman's helmet.
6: In Denmark, attempting to escape from prison is illegal.
FALSE (it's not illegal, but if caught you must serve out the remainder of the term)
7: In the Netherlands, it is illegal to impersonate a blind person after dark.
8: In Britain, sticking a postage stamp (showing the Queens head) on an envelope upside down is considered treason.
9: It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (England)
10: It is illegal to mispronounce Arkansas while in the State of Arkansas
11: Prostitution is illegal in Sweden
FALSE (prostitution is legal, but using the services of a prostitute is illegal)
12: In Florida, a woman can be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer as can the salon owner.
13: Still in Florida; if an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee still has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
14: Absinthe is classed as an illegal substance in Switzerland.
FALSE (It is illegal to produce, store, sell, and trade absinthe, but ok to consume it)
15: In Australia, it is illegal to force a kangaroo to drink bottles of beer.
FALSE (it only becomes illegal if it's more than six bottles)
16: It is illegal for any commoner's pet to have carnal knowledge of an animal belonging to the monarch.
17: The tail of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the head of the Queen's.
FALSE (it's the other way around)
18: In Queensland, Australia it is against the law to ask someone if their father was a criminal.
19: London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats.
20: In Switzerland, you are not allowed to wash your car on a Saturday.
FALSE (you're not allowed to do it on Sunday)
Have fun!

One week before the high school football season kicks off, most teams are playing in some type of jamboree or playing an exhibition game.
For West Oktibbeha and East Webster, the two programs square off against each other tonight in Maben. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. following the West Lowndes and French Camp game at 6 p.m.
"We're excited," East Webster head coach Doug Wilson said. "We feel like we're playing one of the best teams in Class A and I think we've got another team in Class A to open the season (at Vardaman)."
The Timberwolves play several Class 2A teams this season so playing a preseason game against one, is something head coach Adam Lowrey is excited about.
"Anytime you play tough competition, it's going to toughen you up," Lowrey said. "We are trying to prepare ourselves for what we are going to see, to prepare ourselves for doing very well in the district."
Most high schools have only been practicing for about two weeks, so there hasn't been a lot of time to prepare.
"It's been a stress to get ready for it," Wilson said. "There hasn't been a whole lot of time to prepare for it, but we're going to count on it and it's a good prep game for us so we can get ready for next week. We didn't get to do that last year."
Lowrey is anxious to see where his team is and how they will stack up.
"I want to see guys that really want to get after to it," Lowrey said. "We are going to use this as a test. We want to see if our strengths are strong and see how weak our weaknesses are. We just want to see where we are and see what we need to improve on."
The Timberwolves are led by quarterback Von Smith. The Wolverines know what type of player he is and what he brings to the West Oktibbeha team.
"Great kid, great team and well-coached," Wilson said. "We know it will be a challenge."
Starkville Academy
The Volunteers travel to Jackson Academy today to take part in its own jamboree.
SA plays Simpson Academy at 6 p.m. and Lamar Academy at 8 p.m.
"I think the biggest reason we like to get in it is we are going to have to travel," SA head coach Jeff Terrill said. "You get to travel one time when it's not a real game and that helps get the kinks out. You get to get on the field, you have officials blowing whistles, time clock's running and that type of stuff."
With the Volunteers playing two games, the starters will have limited action.
"We will play it by ear," Terrill said. "(The starters) will play most of the first game and probably a series in the second game."
The Volunteers ran the ball often last year and that seems to be the trend this year. The jamboree may give Terrill an opportunity to see what his passing game is made of.
"We will probably try and throw the ball a little bit more for fun," Terrill said. "It just depends on what type of opportunities they are going to give us. We want push the pencil. If we are able to throw it, we will, if they are doing something that allows us to run the ball like we like to, we are going to take a little bit of what we get."
This will be the first time the Volunteers have been on the field competitively since their loss to Washington School last year in the state championship game.
"You just hope the kid's have a great effort," Terrill said.
East Oktibbeha
Randy Brooks takes his Titans to Velma Jackson to take on Durant at 7 p.m.
He is glad to get some game experience for his younger players before the season starts.
"We got a group of young players," Brooks said. "I want to see how they react to game-type situations. Most of them have not been in game-type of situations. Most of them were junior high kids last year."
Although there are several young Titans, Brooks has a good group of veterans he can lean on. He is expecting them to step up in the jamboree and lead the team.
"I have a good core of veterans that can calm the younger guys down and lead us to what we are supposed to be doing," Brooks said.
Durant is similar to East Oktibbeha in that it has a young team as well. Brooks expects it to be a good matchup.
"I saw them play this spring in a jamboree at East Mississippi Community College," Brooks said. "They looked really young like we do so it should be a good competitive game."

By Claire Walla
It was once the kind of thing that solidified a transition into adulthood. Along with wearing a robe, succumbing to slippers and remaining fully inoperable until that first cup of joe, it used to seem adulthood only really began when you sat at the kitchen table and unfolded the pages of The New York Times.
It's no longer that simple. These days, robes and slippers are paired with laptops, LCD screens, hand-held TVs and other various PEDs (personal electronic devices) too numerous to list. For print media, times have changed: ad sales are down and local papers have folded, while at the same time new media ventures are multiplying and online readership has soared.
The nebulous future of the media is a national conversation that has those at the helm of publications across the country collectively scrambling to design a way to sail swiftly into the future (relatively) unscathed. And it is the thrust of the film "Page One: Inside The New York Times," directed by Andrew Rossi and distributed by Participant Media and Magnolia Pictures.
"It's a film that really tries to present the contours of a debate about the future of journalism and its challenges," Rossi explained. "I think our goal was that it would resonate with journalists, but also appeal to a broader audience. So, to a certain extent, there might be some ideas, or debates, that feel like a rehash to people who live the story day in and day out, but hopefully there are things for multiple demographics."
This Friday, July 22 Rossi will be on hand (along with Times executive editor Bill Keller and media reporter David Carr) to discuss the film with Alec Baldwin as part of Guild Hall's "SummerDoc" series. The sold-out screening begins at 8 p.m. with a Q&A to follow.
To make the film, Rossi embedded himself in the offices of the 150-year-old newspaper for 14 months. Armed with little more than a digital camera, he became a fly on the wall, hoping to capture the real life stories of the people and decisions behind what we read in print and online. Rossi's mission began at the end of 2009, about when The Times experienced its first significant (and well-publicized) round of lay-offs, and it winds through a smattering of topics from Wikileaks to the demise of leadership at the troubled Tribune Company.
Though calling on a couple of well-known talking heads (like former Times reporter Gay Talese) to expound on the history of the publication, the film largely sees these issues through the eyes of the reporters themselves. Primarily David Carr.
"He's someone who I thought gave a really human voice to this question of how digital technology and the Internet and social media are affecting the way we're communicating with each other," Rossi said. "And I thought that he was somebody that could carry a film."
"My biggest hope was that my character would be replaced by Javier Bardem and that I would come off as incredibly dashing and winning," Carr began in his characteristic sardonic droll. "But that didn't happen."
Carr's deadpan humor comes across as effectively over the phone as it does on screen. Of Brian Stelter, Carr's media-savvy young colleague whom The Times nabbed straight from the blogosphere in 2007 at age 21, Carr says in the film: "He's sort of like a robot manufactured in the basement of The New York Times to come and destroy me."
The generational divide between Carr and Stelter is played-up in the film to demonstrate, in part, how media habits have changed. At one point Carr tells Stelter — who's typing away on his Blackberry — that he is going to have to put him on a veritable Twitter time-out. However, Carr himself is no stranger to modern technology and new-media necessities, like Twitter and digital video.
And perhaps because of this, his optimism for the vitality of the old Grey Lady in the midst of what many see as a tumultuous media climate is apparent throughout.
"A lot of people who educate journalists or who work at newspapers say it's pretty much over and it's a terrible time to be in journalism — I think they couldn't be more wrong," he said. "I think there's more tools on the desktop for journalists than there's ever been."
Noting Twitter and the fact that endless streams of information can be gathered at the touch of a button, Carr added, "The tool kit [for journalists] is so much larger."
Originally, Rossi's idea for the film focused entirely on Carr, although through the process of filming the story expanded to include media desk editor Bruce Headlam, Brian Stelter and another young reporter, Tim Arango who, in the course of the film, leaves The Times' New York office to cover the war in Iraq. The film has received criticism from some for narrowing its focus too drastically to these four members of The Times' media desk, but for Rossi the opposite it true.
"As it turned out, we broadened out to focus on the media desk as a whole, which I think was great, because the message of the film — as it became more clear — was about the value of newspapers and the value of journalism in a rapidly revolutionizing world," he explained.
"That's not just a one-star story, it's about teamwork. So, how Bruce Headlam the editor, and all the other writers on the media desk come together to produce their journalism is really instructive." he added.
The film doesn't shy away from raw footage of these journalists in action. It's a fact Carr says he admires about the finished product, and he points to his favorite scene in the film:
Brian Stelter is working on a tight deadline to finish a Wikileaks story when his editor, Bruce Headlam, approaches his desk: "You sent it, right?" Stelter — busy typing away at his desk — assures him it's in. Headlam rolls his eyes and stares into the camera: "He's lying." "You've got the one guy who's working hard to make it as good as he can as fast as he can, and the other guy who's trying to make sure it's truthful and efficacious and ends up in the paper on time — and that's the natural tension of the newsroom," Carr said. "I like that you can see the role of editors in this film."
Ultimately, Carr admitted the film could have gone in any number of directions.
"Any one of those things would have made a movie. You could have made a movie out of the iPad unveil, or tracking Wikileaks, or you could have made a buddy movie out of me and Stelter. But Andrew chose — and I think correctly — to go into a keyhole but to have a very wide focus afterwards, and pull the viewer through a number of issues."
"I write about media issues and I sometimes have trouble interesting my readers in issues of consolidation, of who pays, about how you fund original reporting … You know, you start talking about stuff and people generally turn the page or go to sleep, or whatever they do," Carr continued. "I think one of Andrew's accomplishments in making the film is he made a real actual movie that seriously entertains those questions in a way that I think the public can really understand."

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Bailey4 Beautiful... This dress is absolutely beautiful. I'm 5'8" 115 lbs and the XS fits perfectly (and is more than long enough for me!). However, what you can't see in the photo is that there are pleats on the torso and hips of the dress. They are beautiful details but add volume to that area which give me a pear-like shape in the dress. Would be more flattering on someone with straighter hips. 5.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Like a Goddess... Such an amazingly beautiful dress! It is difficult to see the gorgeous pleating detail across the bodice and the hips, but it allows the dress to lightly hug your curves without squeezing or bunching. The dress is lined to about mid-thigh with the same soft fabric. It is unfinished on the bottom hem, so adjusting the length is not a chore. Beautiful and ethereal, you almost feel like you're floating across the floor in it. Love! 4.18.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Karynne Pretty but not as wow as I was hoping There is a lot more pleating than you can see in the picture. It was pretty and comfortable, but not quite as WOW! as I was hoping for. Went back. 5.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by heidi21 Back to Me Maxi LOVE! LOVE this dress!! ordered this in a Medium I wear a size 6-8 and it fit perfectly and even though previous comments about the pleats in the front were negative this dress is beautiful, can't wait for warmer weather to be able to wear it! 3.24.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mermaidmadison Stunning back, unusual pleating and cut I was afraid when I ordered this that it wouldn't look as good on as it did online. I ordered this for my Junior Ring Dance, because it was inexpensive and it seemed like something I could wear more than once. And it is. I don't think anyone else will have anything like it, it is simple, but stunning. I'm curvier (5'4" 120lbs) and I ordered a small, so I think I will get the waist taken in, so that I don't look thicker than I am. Also, the back currently gapes slightly and it is super long. Even though I will wear heals, it is going to have to be hemmed (but luckily the edge is unfinished). As the other reviews said, there is some major pleating on the chest and hips, but I find that it enhances the dress. Overall, it is a very elegant piece. 1.13.2013

The 1960s sitcom Hogan's Heroes was wildly popular during its premiere run and continues to remain one of the most classic (not to mention utterly unique) comedy series in television history, despite a historically and morally questionable premise. Hogan's Heroes Season 2, like the other seasons, is set in a Nazi prison camp during World War II. These Hogan's Heroes DVDs follow a group of Allied POWs Englishman Peter Newkirk (a pre-Family Feud Richard Dawson), Frenchman Louis LeBeau (Robert Clary) and Americans Andrew Carter (Larry Hovis) and James Kinchloe (Ivan Dixon, one of the first African-American actors to get equal billing) led by the irrepressible Colonel Robert Hogan (Bob Crane) in their hilarious attempts to sabotage the Nazi war effort. Though these Hogan's Heroes videos are often mischaracterized as a tasteless gloss on the real-life horrors of Nazi Germany (the series was set in a prisoner-of-war camp rather than concentration camp), Hogan's Heroes was intended as parody and certainly pulled no punches in its unflattering depiction of idiotic Nazi officers such as the pompous Colonel Klink (Werner Klemperer), bumbling Sergeant Schultz (John Banner) and irascible General Burkhalter (Leon Askin). In fact, Klemperer, Banner and Askin were all Jewish, and Clary was a Holocaust survivor. This Hogan's Heroes season two collection presents all the episodes of the controversial series' second season.
Don't miss Hogan's Heroes Season 2 for hours of serious comedy as soldiers work behind enemy lines to outwit the Germans in World War II.

Latest from R.C. Sproul Jr.
Go, Stand, Speak
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 25, 2011 Category: ArticlesWe know more than we let on. So Paul tells us in Romans 1. Still our conclusions are not the fruit of careful, dispassionate reasoning. Motives mix up our minds, and too often we end up believing not what we know but what we want to believe. Which is one reason I am so grateful for those who faithfully go, stand and speak outside the baby killing centers in our neighborhoods. Keep Reading
Here I Stand
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 18, 2011 Category: ArticlesThere was once a great man who managed to upset the religious leaders of his day. They were screaming for his blood because he had both bypassed their own power structure, and had gained a large popular following. He had taught those under his influence that the traditions they had received were wrong, distortions of the Word, and called them to something far older, something far more biblical. Keep Reading
Should churches observe Sanctity of Life Sunday?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 11, 2011 Category: ArticlesIt is a legitimate and important question — the appropriateness of celebrating the Incarnation, the celebration of Christmas. I believe it fitting and appropriate, but am in turn always uncomfortable disagreeing with brothers to my right. I understand their concerns, and appreciate their passion for the regulative principle of worship. On the other hand, one can not rightly argue that the birth of the Savior is off limits in the pulpit. The Bible talks about it, and so we may preach about it. Keep Reading
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 03, 2011 Category: ArticlesCreation, one has to believe, must be a plenty cool thing. The angels, I'm sure, took their seats with a level of anticipation we can only imagine, as they waited for the curtain to go up. God said, "Let there be light, and there was light." Oh His stars that must have been something. The radiance broke forth, and the heavenly chorus sang. Glory! Keep Reading
Weary in Doing Good
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 31, 2010 Category: ArticlesI'm tired, and my dear wife is happy about it. Two weeks of speaking and travelling among the saints in Colombia, South America has left me run down, fighting a cold, and muddle headed. My wife, God bless her, is no sadist. Her joy over my weariness is perfectly understandable. She likes "Tired Me" because "Tired Me" is much more soft, attentive, emotional and tender than "Energized Me." I suspect that there are other husbands like me, and other wives like my own. Keep Reading
Consorting with Whores
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 27, 2010 Category: ArticlesThat there is a deep and profound chasm that separates believing in the total depravity of man and our own understanding of the depth and scope of our own sin is a potent sign of the depth and scope of our own sin. "Total depravity" is a true and sound biblical doctrine about how the fall has impacted mankind. Keep Reading
A Gringo In Colombia
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 15, 2010 Category: ArticlesCan an experience become a cliché? And if it does, does that make it invalid? I am writing because I have no access to the internet. I have no access to the internet because I am in a small town in a less developed country, Rio Negro, Colombia. I am here to speak to scores of pastors from around the country. And my frustration over the lack of internet once again exposes my frustration over my own sanctification. Which is what always happens when I find myself in less than comfortable surroundings.

Sober Minded
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 08, 2010 Category: ArticlesAll of us, I presume, from time to time change our minds. We know that we err, and we know that we grow in grace. At least part of that growth happens when we no longer believe the errors we once believed. Sometimes we add new information to what we believe. Sometimes we jettison old information. And sometimes we do both. I used to believe, decades ago, for instance, that the universe is many millions of years old. I now believe that it is less than ten thousand years old. That is progress.

Not All That Glitters
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 07, 2010 Category: ArticlesHenry Van Til spoke wisdom when he said that culture is religion externalized. Though the serpent may wish otherwise, the faith born in our hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit comes out our fingers, and not just we as individuals, but cultures are changed. When Jesus commands that we disciple the nations it certainly includes the idea that we are to proclaim His atoning work to all the world. It also means in turn, however, that nations will be discipled. Keep Reading
Potent Preaching
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 05, 2010 Category: ArticlesWe don't understand God. What is it about Him that so often leads Him to mute His power, to hide behind the weak and lame? It's not as though He doesn't understand His own power. His Word created the whole of the universe. His Spirit gave life to us when we were dead. That Word never returns void. That Spirit is omnipotent. But He has chosen to not only work on us, but to work through us. The Word reaches the apex of its power not when it stands alone, but when it is preached. God is pleased to use the foolishness of preaching to give life, to change the world. He works through us. Keep Reading

Dear Gossips,
We're all supposed to be mature after a breakup. Any kind of breakup. It's the "right" thing to do. If that's the world you live in – congratulations. In my world, breakups are ugly and awesomely entertaining (if you're not the one involved).
You know what's great about a celebrity-publicist breakup? There are no children involved. So they don't have to be civil for the sake of the kids.
Mimi and her publicist, Cindi Berger, are no longer working together after 15 years. Berger, because it's her job, had her side of the story out first and the suggestion was that she was the one who ended the relationship. Now TMZ is reporting that it was Mimi who walked first. Read Full Intro

When the sun's shining it really doesn't matter what shape your classic convertible's top is in. And why should it, since a drop-top is most fun when you're cruising with the breeze in your hair and sunglasses on. But wait until the next time it rains or gets cold out and up goes the top, you're sure to be a little more concerned then. And, you'll be happier-and warmer-if it does its job of sealing out the wind and water.
While this is an obvious sentiment, what's not so obvious is that fixing or replacing a convertible top is not as easy as you might think. First, most older convertibles are sure to have worn out parts other than just the outer material and back window. The mechanical frame most likely needs to be cleaned and lubricated. The tack strips that hold the material on to the frame are certain to have deteriorated. The window weatherstrips are surely hard and cracked, and you can bet the pads that protect the inside of the top from the frame are worn beyond reuse. So you see, there is more to replacing a convertible top than just laying on new vinyl.
We came to realize this with a project we came across: an early Nova convertible, whose owner was trying to get the car in shape for the winter. Having sat for a decade or two, this freshly painted, but non-restoredstreetmachine, was just hankering for a new drop-top.
The first order of business was to disassemble and clean the manual top mechanism. The owner felt comfortable doing this since it was a simple matter of loosening some nuts and bolts, using some sandpaper and spray paint to make it look nice, and reassembling it back on the car-nothing that couldn't be accomplished during a couple of Saturday afternoons. With that part of the resto job complete, the attention was turned to lining up the correct materials. This was a step made easier by the experts at Year One Incorporated and our Nova guru, Joe Grom of Chevy II Only.
When the boxes arrived, they were packed with everything necessary (pre-cut, heavy-duty vinyl top with a new clear plastic backlight, tack strips, hold-down cables, etc.). The only thing missing to commence with giving this old car a brand-new appeal was a talented upholsterer and his air-actuated staple gun. For the all-important skill of putting the top on we turned to a trusted friend, Wanda Wells, at Wanda's Upholstery in San Bernardino, California, to perform the meticulous task.
Wanda, who's been stitching up custom interiors and convertible tops in street rods, race cars, and hot cruisers for more than 35 years, was more than happy to cut, stretch, glue, and staple the Nova's white top into place for our cameras. And when it was done, six hours later (the labor book calls for the job taking roughly 10 hours), what we had was one cool-looking rag-top. Hey, now that we've witnessed it being installed on this soon-to-be street cruiser, maybe we can tackle the job ourselves when it comes time to put a new top on our own Rusty Ragtop resto project. And maybe you can rise to the occasion and do your our own drop-top replacement, too.

EGLIN AFB — Lt. Cmdr. Chris Tabert took his time Saturday flying the Navy F-35C in from Fort Worth, Texas.
"The weather was perfect, so we took advantage of it," the test pilot said after the two-hour flight to Eglin Air Force Base.
About 100 people gathered to greet the Navy joint strike fighter squadron's first F-35 when it landed about noon rather than hit Crab Island, joked Capt. John Enfield, commander of VFA 101.
"It's an indescribable milestone for us," Enfield said of the 87 or so pilots, maintainers and support staff that have been waiting at Eglin for a little more than two years to get an F-35 of their own.
They have spent that time learning in the classroom, training on simulators and helping with the Air Force and Marine variants.
Now with an F-35 of their own, "we're starting to look more like a regular squadron," Enfield said.
Navy crews have a checklist of things to go over before the jet starts its training flights later this summer, he said.
The F-35C differs from the Air Force's F-35A and the Marines' F-35B in that it is designed to land on aircraft carriers. Its wingspan is a little wider and it can carry more fuel for longer flights. The F-35C also is a little slower so it can land in tighter spaces.
Navy pilots will practice carrier landings at the relatively remote Choctaw Field at the west end of Eglin's reservation. F-35s must circle much lower than the other variants to land on carriers, and the noise would be too great at Eglin.
The first Navy jet had been scheduled to arrive in April, but adjustments that come with any new weapons system delayed things, Enfield said.
Tabert had no problems Saturday.
"They did a great job designing it," Tabert said of Lockheed Martin. "The airplane flies beautifully. It's a very easy airplane to fly."
Eglin now has a total of 26 F-35s: 13 Air Force F-35As, 12 Marine F-35Bs (including two owned by the United Kingdom) and the F-35C.
That will change soon enough. The second F-35C is expected to arrive this week, and VFA 101 should have six or seven by the end of the calendar year, Enfield said. In about 18 months the squadron will boast 15 jets.

In the last half century, there is no sports car, perhaps no car of any kind, more iconic and instantly recognizable, than the Porsche 911. Whether it's winning races worldwide or providing perennial smiles for owners, versions of the 911 continue to be the brass ring other auto makers strive for. From its air cooled engine roots, the 911 has a long way. The engine still hangs out over the rear axle, though the air cooling is now gone. Giving way to liquid cooling some years ago and benefiting from its improved cooling performance. While the 911 has gone through many generations, you won't see the large changes between generations as you might with other models. The engineers at Stuttgart are well aware that their customers are happy with the current models and will only accept evolutionary and not revolutionary changes to the car as a whole. The engines available for the 911 are all powerful, but they do offer a variety of power plants to choose from. Its base 3.8 liter V-6 makes 345 Hp. Power increases through the models up the 500 HP Turbo versions.

Apple reportedly testing iWatch
Apple is again being tipped with the development of a smart watch, with the New York Times the latest to report that an 'iWatch' project is part of the Cupertino-based firm's ongoing plans.
Citing "people familiar with the company's explorations," the Times claims that Apple is currently "experimenting" with watch-like devices running a stripped down version of its iOS platform.
The report tips the iWatch to feature Corning's flexible Willow Glass to help it wrap around the user's wrist, with navigation, contactless payments and communications thought to be among the future contraption's uses.
"You can certainly make it wrap around a cylindrical object and that could be someone's wrist. Right now, if I tried to make something that looked like a watch, that could be done using this flexible glass," noted Pete Bocko, Corning's chief technology officer.
In addition to the Times, the Wall Street Journal has also jumped on the iWatch bandwagon, saying that Apple is currently discussing production scenarios with Chinese manufacturing partner Foxconn.
An Apple iWatch was rumored back in December 2012, with speculation pointing to a Bluetooth-enabled device with a 1.5in touchscreen display and Siri functionality.

The following are instructions for care and handling of your rug: If these are followed your rug will remain in great condition for many years. It is highly recommended that you vacuum your rug once a week. If your rug has fringes, be careful when vacuuming. Do not vacuum the fringes as they may pull. Vacuuming the rug regularly helps avoid moth problems. If anything is to spill on the rug make sure that you remove it quickly by using a damp paper towel. Do not drag the towel along the stained area, just tapping the area will suffice. Then you can use a spoon to retract the excess spillage. If in any case the spillage is a dark liquid, such as coffee, wine, soda, etc., use a moist towel with soap and water. Do not leave the rug wet as it may form mildew and could cause the rug to rot. Do not expose the rug to sunlight on a regular basis. Too much sunlight causes the colors to fade which in turn creates unevenness in the colors of the rug. For true professional cleaning we suggest that you contact an expert cleaning company.

I think you're right. In which case mC can't spell as Llamedos (with an E) is 'sod 'em all' spelled backwards. It's a reference to Dylan Thomas's fictitional town 'Llareggub' from 'Under Milk Wood' whicch is 'Bugger all' spelled backwards.
It is indeed, and I wasn't paying attention over to you, Crys!

Decor is an essential part of the holiday season. We decorate the home to demonstrate our beliefs and give the place the right type of holiday character. Many of us do the same for the yard and hope to impress holiday party guests with unique, funny, and stunning decorations. While it's pretty easy to head to the nearest big box store and buy average, everyday decor, finding high quality decorations and decor that makes a big impression can be a bit more of a challenge. To avoid the hassle of finding unique, high quality holiday decor, the best place to shop is at the Design Toscano site. While looking for resin garden statues that add holiday cheer to the backyard, it's also an excellent opportunity for buying unique and wonderful holiday gifts.
If you have family and friends who would rather get Medieval decor and Gothic-themed gifts than a toaster or other average gifts, you will find plenty of fantastic possibilities at our Medieval and Gothic gifts page. Give the Steampunk Skull Containment Vessel as a stocking stuffer or if you are in search of a more elaborate gift, thrill that special person with Hastings, the Warrior Dragon Glass-topped Sculptural Table. These are just two of many fine Gothic items in a unique holiday collection that also includes Medieval furniture and splendid gargoyle figurines.
Enjoy 20% off the wonderful gift items in our Design Toscano holiday collection!
