A bit about Tbird and HadIt.com for those who've asked...
The following is on my About page, but some have been asking how this all happened. So here is my little story. Tbird US Navy 1983 – 1990 E-6 HadIt.com the website domain registered Jan 20, 1997 the domain is registered and paid for through Jan 21, 2023 at which time I plan to register it for another 15 years Lord willing and the creek don't rise. I guess the best place to start is Jan 1991; I had gotten out of the navy Dec 1990. At my separation seminar, there was a DAV rep Jim Milton he told us to bring our medical records in and he would look through them for us and let us know if we should file a claim with the VA. Well, bless his heart, he opened my medical file, reads the first insert, looks me straight in the eye, and says you will be 50% for the rest of your life and he would file the claim for me. 50% was for surgery I had in the service. True to his word he met with me and talked with me for a long time filled out my paper work and urged me to file for PTSD. I would not file the PTSD claim, nor even discuss it. By Feb 1991 I had moved to the San Francisco bay area and was staying at a friends apartment and pretty much I was just a puddle. In desperation one night I called suicide hot line, I had no job, no idea about going to the VA. They talked with me for a long time and explained to me that I could go to the local VA hospital even if I did not have insurance. Now, I know what you are thinking if I was 50% why didn't I just go to the VA in the first place, two reasons 1, this was Feb 1991 and the 50% didn't come till May and 2, even if it had come through it is unlikely that I would have had the mental acuity at the time to put the two together. I relate this here because it is where so many of our brothers and sisters are coming from, perhaps where you started. Fuzzy and unsure, in pain and sometimes homeless they come to the VA hospital for help. And that is where I ended up. Up to the pysch ward I went, blah, blah, blah, a few days later I was released with a promise of a call from the out patient program, which I would soon be entering. Blah, blah, blah, after many missed communications, and no call backs I was at the Day Hospital everyday M-F. And this brothers and sisters is where I began to learn and formulate my plan for HadIt.com. Veterans, veterans everywhere…I spent a year in the day hospital and about another year at a sheltered workshop before I got back on my feet. So I just talked to veterans everyday waiting for appointments, waiting for prescriptions, waiting for a vet rep and I started to learn the system. While in the navy I was data analyst and had to learn a 5 volume manual and just about anything you were suppose to do was in that manual. So I figured there must be a manual on how to do a VA claim or at the very least regulations. So I found out about the Code of Federal Regulations, United States Code, Veterans Affairs Manuals and so on and so forth. Of course this was 1991/1992 I was living in a tiny studio apartment in a particularly bad neighborhood, working in a sheltered workshop making a nickel per envelope I stuffed throw in PTSD and you will see that it was a difficult task for me to get somewhere where they had copies of these, let alone that they would let me look at. And there was so much knowledge around me, it was like the gold rush in those days, I could just sit on a bench a veteran would sit down next to me a little conversation later I had another nugget, I made copious notes. Phone numbers to call, ask for this guy or that guy he'll give you the straight scoop and they'd slip me a piece of paper with a number on it. You want to read this regulation or that one and another slip of paper into my hand. I spent a lot of time on those benches watching the squirrels they gathered their nuts and I gathered mine :) So I'm thinking I could put a little handbook together print it out and hand it out at the VA. Or perhaps fliers. Still formulating, time goes by, 1994/1995 I am being treated for PTSD regularly and doing and feeling much better and I go to work for a company as a marketing systems analyst and I discover the internet. Well let me tell you that was perhaps one of the most significant life changing events I have ever experienced. And I might add finally a positive one :) It seemed only natural to me that surely there must be a website that contained all the knowledge I wanted, well as it turned out not so much, lots of stuff but I wanted to get straight to the claims information and there was a lot of stuff to wade through to get to it. So taking my lesson from the squirrels earlier I started to gather, gather, gather…and learn HTML and work as a marketing systems analyst and work my claim. 1996/1997 major PTSD cork blows and unemployed. Working my claim, working the website. 20 Jan 1997 register HadIt.com domain name right after getting off the phone with the VA and saying I've had it with this. As fate would have it the old DAV board goes down just as mine opens up and folks start to wander in. So HadIt.com has two main components the website which supports the discussion board with links, articles, research resources etc. The website starts to grow, I can't tell you how many times I had to switch servers for space and features. I continue on a downward trend and in 1998 ended up back home in St Louis living in my sisters basement in therapy and working it, I swear I would have swung a dead chicken around my head at midnight naked if I thought it would have helped. The website continued to do great during this time, I just stayed in the basement bought new software, new books, and learned how to make things work and I continued to use this knowledge to make HadIt.com better. My 100% finally came through from the VA and I had a friend who is an advocate who helped me thru my SSDI claim, he was literally at my side thru the entire process and that came through for me. My therapist and sister continued to try and get me to leave the basement, but to no avail. At some point in 1998 or 1999 I put a counter on the website and was shocked to discover how many visitors we were getting. Time goes by my sister gets married and I move from the basement to the upstairs, there is much celebration that Aunt T is living in the light again. More time goes by and I settle into my life in St Louis and spend more time on the site trying new things, finding more information. 2003 I buy my own home VA loan. For years now I have just considered HadIt.com my job and I get up every morning go to the office and work for several hours, take an afternoon break and see where the rest of day takes me. I have a place in the office to use the computer and a comfortable to place to read journals and articles and take notes. Blah, blah, blah so that is my story and HadIt.com's intertwined.

Flame Resistant Overalls
There are no products matching the selection.
I wanted to compliment you and the great customer service your company provides. I had a recent email exchange with your customer service rep, who was extremely helpful in finding the right hood for an older Carhartt coat. She even went to the trouble of looking at the hood in your warehouse to make sure it had the proper 5-snap attachment arrangement which my coat requires. Thanks!"

(a) Definition.— In this section, the term "privately-owned commercial vessel of the United States" does not include a vessel that, after September 21, 1961, was built or rebuilt outside the United States or documented under the laws of a foreign country, until the vessel has been documented under the laws of the United States for at least 3 years.

Police are looking for two men suspected of robbing a woman in the parking lot of a Kmart.
The robbery happened at about 7:30 Friday evening outside the Kmart at 3900 West Northern Avenue.
Police say one of the men pointed a gun at the woman and demanded her purse. The victim handed over her purse and both suspects ran to an apartment complex parking lot on Vinewood.
Witnesses chased the suspects until they got into the backseat of a black Hyundai Elantra (or similar vehicle) with tinted windows and partial license plate numbers 086 and drove away from the area.
Both suspects can be seen in a surveillance photo taken in the store before the robbery. The man in the gray shirt reportedly had several tattoos, including a tattoo under his right eye.
If you have any information on this incident you are urged to call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 542-STOP (542-7867).

General Discussion
Cutis laxa is rarely encountered and may occur in several inherited (congenital) forms or come about in the course of another disorder (acquired). It is a connective tissue disorder characterized by skin that is loose (lax), hanging, wrinkled, and lacking in elasticity (hyperelasticity). The affected areas of skin may be thickened and dark. In addition, the joints are loose (hypermobility) because of lax ligaments and tendons. The disorder involves a variety of symptoms and signs that result from defects in connective tissue. Defective connective tissue may cause problems in the vocal cords, bones, cartilage, blood vessels, bladder, kidney, digestive system, and lungs.
Four separate inherited forms of this disorder have been identified. Most cases are inherited as one or another of two types of autosomal recessive inheritance. However, cases of autosomal dominant inheritance have been reported, as well as a form that is credited to X-linked inheritance.

My Vitriol
My Vitriol are an alternative rock band from London, England. The band name is taken from the novel Brighton Rock by Graham Greene. The band is often credited with initiating a new wave of Shoegaze, sometimes referred to as Nu Gaze, which bears comparison to genres of 1990s rock music from both sides of the Atlantic; both by American grunge bands such as Nirvana and as well as Irish/British "shoegazing" bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive. The band currently comprises Som Wardner (vocals, guitar and lyrics), Ravi Kesavaram (drums), Seth Taylor (guitar) and Laura Claire (bass). The band had success in the early 2000s with three Top 40 hit singles in the UK Singles Chart and a UK Top 40 album, before announcing a hiatus at the height of their success. The group released some new material in 2007 but are still yet to release their second album. In recent years little has been heard from the band.

- Kyrie , drinking Peet's since a lon 7/3/15
- Frederick, MD
This was not a coffee that I care for. Like another reviewer, I wound up giving it away. To me, it tasted rather harsh (but I have been drinking Kona, so maybe it suffered by comparison)
- Jeanne , drinking Peet's since the 9 7/14/14
- Newberg, OR
Discovered Peets while working at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. It has followed me wherever I go.
Ethiopian Fancy was part of a trio I ordered a while back. Liked it so much I ordered three more pounds lest they ran out! A flat out favorite. I love the way it "lingers" after the last sip. Great brewed in a French Press. Cannot recommend it enough.
- Mike McQuilkin , drinking Peet's since 2005 12/26/10
- Lakeview, AR.
Thought Id try something new with my last order. Took a chance and got some Ethiopian Fancy. You have got to try this coffee! Wow! One of the best I have had. Will always be on my order from now on.
- Rhett Simpson , drinking Peet's since 2007 6/27/10
- Portland, OR
The great aroma and somewhat lighter body make this a great breakfast coffee. I too use this as a change of pace coffee but try to always keep some on hand. (I'm pretty much addicted to Major Dickason). I also appreciate the honest writeup. Yes, quality has varied more over the last 10-12 years for all the reasons you mention. Younger drinkers may not have have the opportunity to drink Ethiopia's best from the late 1980''s when Yerga Cheffe could be rated as the worlds best.
- mark naffziger , drinking Peet's since 2008 3/28/10
- woodruff, WI
A coffee that did not catch my fancy. Searching for a certain sweet,rich,full flavor. More medium brew. I tried coffee and couldn't finish my first cup. Disappointed, I mailed the rest to my son in Chicago. I'm waiting for his view. It had a flavor that I have never tasted before. Maybe I'm ignorant to how coffees can taste. All I know for sure is Ethiopian Fancy is not for me.
- Jeff Dudley , drinking Peet's since 1988 2/4/10
I've been including the Ethiopian Fancy in our regular Peets purchases because we've loved the aromatics and the fine, delicate body. Now, we've used it to make a home blend with Kenya Auction Lot and the last few beans of the recent Peets Burundi special lot. Wow, another amazingly complex cup. These African coffees, each individually and together are the house favorites. Can't wait for the Uzuri Blend to reappear too !

What an intriguing coffee! I love how Ethiopian evolves throughout the year - sometimes bright and lemony-tangy, later heavier and intoxicatingly floral. Right now, I find it to be sweet and floral, with these warm, bready notes. It's texture was tangy and clean, but thicker than that juicy fruitiness I love in Kenya Auction Lot. Very loooooong finish hangs around the nose!
- Brianne Noll 7/9/06

Ethiopian has recently become my favorite coffee. I was in the middle of a Latin American streak, when the fruity complexity of this coffee made me stop and take notice. I love grinding Ethiopian beans because they smells so fresh and berry-like. It's like eating a perfect vine-ripened tomato; a little tangy, a little savory, juicy, but with a pleasantly crisp finish. Yum!
- Shanta Pfister 7/21/05

My favorite coffee is Ethiopian Fancy. I'm sad because I don't get to drink it anymore (I've been banished to decaf coffee). But when I did drink regular coffee Ethiopian Fancy was my favorite. As an avid wine taster, Ethiopian danced in that same arena. It had beautiful notes of a Cabernet...fruits and full of body. Heavy on your tongue but so easy to enjoy. Nothing harsh. Drinkable. Smooth. Inviting. The best way to start and end your day.
- Brandon Conway 3/17/03

At this tasting, I found the Ethiopian to be very bright, earthy and chocolatey. The most distinctive taste was probably apricot; a sort of sweet and bold taste. The Ethiopian was medium-bodied with a clean finish.
- Steve Nobles 11/6/01

Nice, fruity acidity. Medium-bodied, lively and floral. Cherry-like fruitiness.

Before he can get to Pastoria City, Ash has to battle a slang-talking Trainer named Sho. Sho wants to collect a Pikachu evolution set and he already has Raichu and Pichu, so he has his eye on Ash's Pikachu--but Ash isn't about to trade. Instead, they have a battle: Sho's Raichu vs. Ash's Pikachu. Raichu isn't afraid to go head-to-head with Pikachu and it also knows Hyper Beam, a move that Pikachu can't learn unless it evolves. Not only does Raichu beat Pikachu, Paul drops by just long enough to sneer Ash for not having evolved his Pikachu.
While Pikachu gets some serious rest and recuperation at the nearest Pokemon Center, Ash takes out the Thunderstone he received in Vermilion City. Back at the Vermilion Gym, Lt. Surge's Raichu beat Pikachu and forced it to consider whether it wanted to evolve; even though Pikachu decided to remain a Pikachu, what if it's changed its mind since then? Team Rocket saw the whole thing unfold and they still think Pikachu should stay the same.
However, Pikachu then disappears, as well as the Thunderstone. Ash goes to look for Pikachu and finds it training. Ash realizes that Pikachu decided to not evolve after all. As for the Thunderstone, Team Rocket swiped it and decided to sell it. After some special training, it's time for a rematch. Instead of relying on raw power, Ash has Pikachu use strategic moves and spinning tricks to beat Raichu. Sho admits that Ash's Pikachu is pretty good--but if they ever meet again, the result will be different!

Tellar Prime
this wiki
|Tellar Prime
|Native Species:
|Tellar system
|Coalition of Planets
United Federation of Planets
Tellar Prime, or Tellar, was the inhabited prime planet in the Tellar system. Classified as M Class, this was the homeworld of the Tellarites, a warp capable humanoid species.
In 2155, representatives from Tellar took part in talks on Earth to form a Coalition of Planets. In 2161, Tellar became a founding member of the United Federation of Planets. (ENT: "Demons", "Zero Hour")
Relative to the planetoid Babel, Tellar was located on the far side of the Andorian Empire. (ENT: "Babel One")
Good arguments were considered a sport on Tellar. (ENT: "Bounty")
Following the fall of Betazed during the Dominion War, in 2374, many believed that Tellar could be the Dominion's next target. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
Star Trek: Star Charts
The Tellar system was located in or near Federation space, in the Tellar sector (Sector 007), in the Alpha Quadrant. This binary star system, also known by its Bayer designation as 61 Cygni, had at least one planet. Tellar A was a K class star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol. Tellar B was a K class star.
In the mid-22nd century, Tellar Prime was a destination on the Earth-Tellar run. In 2378, Tellar Prime was a Federation member. (pgs. 19, 36, 44, "United Federation of Planets I")
The Worlds of the Federation reference book states Tellar to be the fifth planet of the 61 Cygni system. It also gives Miracht as an alternative name for the planet and lists two moons called "Kehra" and "Phinda".
The Star Fleet Technical Manual lists the "United Planets of 61 Cygni" as one of the founding members of the Federation.

The year 2012 of our Lord is now with us. We have no option but to welcome it. Whether we collectively do so with joy and optimism or with gloom and pessimism is a different matter.
So yours ever joins you in observing this annual ritual which normally begins at midnight when a new baby, awaited for 52 weeks, finally sees light of the day, or rather the darkness of the night.
A related tradition is one of making New Year resolutions, mainly at personal level, although some institutions and communities incorporate them in their operational plans.
New Year resolutions made by individuals are characterised by their short life span. They come with a bang and much zeal but most enforcers, except highly principled individuals, forget about them within the first quarter of the year, if not within the first few weeks.
However, the exercise of figuring out yearly resolutions is not a useless one as there is a self assessment motive behind it, which is a good habit worth adopting even at community level.
Now, if Tanzanians opted to embark on the annual self evaluation undertaking and use the experience to set priorities for the incoming year, what would our balance sheet look like, and what priorities would we set for 2012?
Join the writer to venture into this exercise and later on participate in the debate on this theme, as your input might make a difference in the country's socio-economic, political and cultural development during 2012 and beyond.
It is true the challenges we are experiencing are so many that short-listing the most acute is a challenge in its own right. In my opinion, however, one of the problems to contend with is disaster management.
Some serious incidents which occurred in 2011 have clearly shown that we seem to excel in disaster mismanagement. Cases like the military bombs explosions which took place in Dar-se-Salaam suburbs, the capsizing of MV Islander in Zanzibar, and the rain floods havoc in Dar es Salaam, exposed our incompetence in handling disasters.
Many lives were unnecessarily lost and property destroyed simply because in all these happenings interventions came late and were executed incompetently, to put it mildly. This state of affairs should not be allowed to continue.
This perennial problem of ours, that is power shortage, nearly brought the country to its knees in 2011, as most of us know too well. Not only is the blunder of overdependence on hydro-electricity power at stake, but also the dirty hand of corruption and the tendency to politicise power generation and distribution activities.
Since the longstanding mess in this sector has badly crippled our national economy, it is high time we took measures to ensure what we have gone through is not repeated in 2012 and beyond. Failure to take remedial actions will have long term implications to our development.
But how do we positively move forward on this front when the spin doctors handling the patient are the same? A frightening scenario, this one!
The third item on my list of national priorities for 2012 is the constitutional challenge. The year 2011 will be remembered as a time when a long journey to the new constitution began. Forget about the wishful thinking- cum- propaganda that it will all be wrapped up in 2014.
Given the false start reflected in the controversial law to guide the whole process, what we are likely to have in 2014 is old wine in a new bottle, implying the clamour for a new constitution will be amplified once the stillborn one is in place. In any case, it is important to participate in the constitutional debate when it takes off in 2012, as even a reviewed constitution is likely to improve a few things here and there.
Last but not least is the fate of our "madafu" Shilling, read the value of our local money when weighed against international currencies used in international trading.
Experts are telling us that the T-Shilling is experiencing a free fall, and that a combination of this development and other factors are the ingredients behind the double digit inflation now heading to the 20% level.
What are our economic wizards, both fake and genuine ones, planning to do to tame inflation in 2012? For lack of space I can't comment on what we ought to do in 2012 to put a break on the mad race for the 2015 Presidential seat. Happy New Year to fans of this column and the wananchi in general!

I am sure you all agree with me that if you're a parent, you get plenty of suggestions on how to raise your child. From experts to other parents, people are always ready to offer advice. Parenting tips, parents' survival guides, dos, don'ts, shoulds and shouldn'ts - new ones come out daily.
The truth is there is more than one "right" way to be a good parent. Good parenting includes quite a number of things from showing affection and listening to your child, providing order and consistency, setting and enforcing limits , leading by example …the list is endless.
The most important thing to remember is whatever you do make sure you do it with love. Whether you are punishing or rewarding your child make sure that is done with love.
I have always advocated for consistence in raising our kids because once we lose it our children will soon get back to their bad ways of doing things knowing pretty well that mom or dad only threatens to take certain actions if we do ABC but never does.
The catchword is if you are not sure you are going to take the action then don't threaten to because it is worse off to set conditions and fail to meet them.
I know this is a hard thing to do but we ought to strive to do that in order to put things right because if you don't your children will leave your hands to go out into the world without proper preparation.
The world out there is rough and tough, no one really looks after you so you ought to give your children the necessary preparation so that when they go out there they are able to brace the challenges of life.
If you get too protective for your children, you are only spoiling them and this will do no good to them. There won't be any mother or father to take care of them when they are out there.
Take it from me, I know what it means to be away from home from your mother dealing with people who do not care a bit about who you are or what you stand for and you really have to roughen and toughen up in order to make things work. Would I manage if I had been used to be spoon-fed by my parents? Definitely not, so we ought to prepare our children for the rough life ahead of them.
Two days ago I had to watch my kids go to school without their packed sandwiches for break. It was hard and I felt like running after them but I just restrained myself from doing so and after that I haven't seen any of them forgetting the sandwiches anymore.
After dressing up my sons were busy chatting and just wasting time and I asked them several times whether they had already put their lunch boxes in their bags and each time they replied, "we will do so mom don't be freaky."
So the freaky mum decided to keep quiet but later realized that the so called organized boys had left their sandwiches.
The other one had even forgotten his school diary but I said I am not taking anything to that school.
Let them face the consequences of their actions and believe me now I do not have to yell countless times about the school diary or sandwich or whatever. Before going to bed I only ask once if both of them have packed their books in their bags and in the morning my job is to make sure the lunch boxes are ready no more struggling to make sure the boys have taken them. It has saved me a lot of trouble.
Had I made the mistake of making arrangements for that school diary and the sandwiches I am sure I would be doing that two to three times in a week. Since they know I am not going to do that, they really make sure they have everything they need before going to school.
So fellow parents, just be consistent and you will see things falling in place. You will have a relaxed life and you will discover that you will do less yelling and shouting in order to get your kids to do certain things.
If you wanna be a softie, then you ought to be prepared to chip in here and there to save your children.
You ought to be prepared to run after them to school bringing the forgotten math book, school diary or sports uniform.
Fine, you can do that and you can say I am comfortable doing that but imagine what will happen when your child starts working and possibly is working far away from home? Are you going to take his forgotten laptop or presentation to the office? Are you still going to hover around your child's office and protect him/her from his boss for the tasks that he forgot to complete?
Happy parenting! Mail your views to

Hi Kgman! Just thought I'd offer you the opportunity to join the rest of the community at grandtheftwiki.com. We moved away from Wikia for a variety of reasons, and the community has reformed on another site, with all the content we wrote! This wiki is essentially just a copy we left behind, that Wikia are choosing to keep running (as they make money from adverts etc). We can easily bring your edits across to the moved wiki too, and I hope to see you there soon! Let me know if you have any questions - Gboyers talk 10:53, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
How's it goin? I was looking to see if I could find someone who's as big a fan of GTA as me to discuss something about one of the games. I don't have time to talk now, but later on just message me if you want to give your opinion about something.
Peace, GTAJ
Hey dude. Please stop deleting quotes on mission pages. If I catch you again I will have to report you.

SAN FRANCISCO - For the first 12 games this season, Shareece Wright watched. Sometimes he was on the sideline, sometimes he was on his couch. He spent most of 2008 doing the same thing. A broken vertebrae sidelined Wright for all but two games, and again, all he could do was watch. But Saturday in the Emerald Bowl, that all changed. ...More...

So I've been playing with the various filters and the noise layer because the speckled colors irk me. So under Filter > Brush Strokes > there's an option called 'Sumi-e' that adds a bit of blur in a sort of random spatter. The result is above and I must say I like it.
Another update, I messed up the mileage and the location of THE major city in the book. Go me! lol

London 2012: Last minute talks to prevent bus worker walkout over Olympic pay
17:06 21 June 2012
Last-minute talks to avert a London-wide bus strike over a dispute about Olympic bonuses are underway.
Bus workers from 20 operators are due to walk out for 24 hours from tomorrow in the first London-wide bus strike in a generation.
This morning Unite the Union and the bus companies met at the conciliation service Acas to try to broker a deal. Unite is seeking a bonus payment of £500 for employees working for London's bus operators during the Games.
The talks came after Mayor of London Boris Johnson announced yesterday the Olympic Delivery Authority had made available funds for an Olympic bonus for London bus workers.
Speaking last night Peter Kavanagh, Unite regional secretary for London, said: "If the bus companies are genuine about wanting to reach a settlement to recognise the contribution of bus workers to the Olympics then they will accept the offer to meet us at the conciliation service Acas on Thursday morning.
"The Olympic Delivery Authority has made £8.3million available for the bus workers. The mayor has instructed the bus companies to negotiate and we expect them to find the remaining money needed for a fair settlement.
"We cannot call the strike off until we are persuaded that Transport for London (TfL) and the bus companies are serious about resolving this dispute. With just hours left every minute counts.
"There are 20 bus operators, it's imperative there's a single forum to meet with the bus companies and TfL's involvement is vital in order to secure a deal."

By Dr. Eco
Bob Buquor, first 6 man star, early D-License Holders with comments, Up date from the Pacific Northwest.
I had about 50 jumps with Bob Buquor at the Arvin DZ. With most of them, Bob was taking photo's with his motorized 35 mm Nikon mounted on his helmet. I knew Bob from San Antonio, Texas before we both ended up in California. Bob had a low C license number C-150 but never got around to applying for his D license because he thought that C-150 would look better than a higher number D license (ahhh, vanity).
Bob was trying to make it in the movie business. He shot freefall sequences for part of the "Rip Cord" series and for several movies. At that time, I was a 1st Lieutenant in the USAF at the Flight Research Center at Edward's AFB Calif. I had applied for my D license earlier while still at the University of Texas working on my PhD. I did most of my California sport jumping at the Lancaster DZ which was close to Edwards AFB. However, Bob and I would get together at Arvin to jump. Bob shot the photo's when we made the "First Six Man Star in the World" September 6, 1964, at Arvin, California." The photo of the Six Man Star was the centerfold of Skydiver Magazine. Another Skydiver Magazine centerfold showed the same group of jumpers leaving the Twin Beach. After 1965, I did more flying than jumping and got my commercial, instrument, multi-engine and flight instructor pilot ratings.

The Bob Buquor Memorial Star Crest
The Bob Buquor Memorial Star Crest (BBMSC) is a perpetual memorial to commemorate the efforts of the late Robert H. Buquor who played a major role in the origin of star formation relative work.
Bob Buquor initiated and photographed the majority of the star attempts at Arvin, California in the early 1960's and was successful in capturing the first 8-way star there on film on October 17, 1965.
Bob drowned off Malibu Beach, California in 1966, while filming a dangerous movie sequence for a major studio. It is to his driving enthusiasm in this aspect of the sport that this membership is dedicated.
Note: Bob was a good swimmer and would not have drowned if he would have dumped his helmet with a large 35mm movie camera mounted on it and the large heavy battery pack attached to his waist. But good jumpers never dropped ripcords handles or dump large expensive cameras in the ocean.
The camera and battery pack were recovered along with Bob's body.

Dear Dr. Economy:
It good to hear for an early D license holder. We are working on the electronic version of the "A", "B", "C" and "D" License holders.
I was able to complete the list for D License numbers 1 through 400 for your use.
Please see list attached. If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Blue Safe Skies, April 20, 2003
Michelle Garvin
Director of Membership Services
USPA Alexandria, VA
Note on D-License numbers: By December 1961, I had over 200 free fall jumps (I had no static line jumps) but had never applied for PCA (later called USPA) membership or for an PCA: A, B or C Licenses (Note: In Central Texas in early 1960's, no one paid much attention to the PCA, their safety rules, or their license)
I had all the requirements for my D-License and applied to the PCA for membership and my D-License in late 1961 when the D-License numbers were in the 50's. I got my D-License over six months later in May 1962 with a D-License Number of 115 over 60 numbers higher.
I talked to a guy who had been at Orange, Mass. (the old PCA headquarters) and he told me that Istel and the other officers at the PCA had given priority for low D-Licenses to 1) their long term PCA members with A, B, C License, 2) jumpers from the major PCA approved DZ's i.e. California; 3) their buddies at Orange and other New England DZ's; and 4) to the Army jumpers e.g., Golden Knights. Based on my application date, he said my D-License should have been in the 70 to 80 range (oh well!!)
Note:I had between 20 to 50+ relative work jumps with the following Bold Underlined D license holder.

To DrEco: Just in case anyone who knew them might be interested.
It was fun going through all of the names; I started jumping in early '64 and a few months later joined PCA & subscribed to Skydiver Magazine. A lot of those names were in those mags many times.
And I do remember your photos.

Folks, I need your help. I need to find out about skyjumpers in Georgia and S.C. and AL in 1968-1971. My handle tells the story - I am a 66 yrr old widow of a man who claimed he was D.B.Cooper or as he put it Dan Cooper. I have no knowledge of skyjumping, but when we were in Colorado we went into the mountains and there were jumpers jumping off of the cliffs - I don't remember what it was called, but that is not important. What is important is that he told me everything that they were doing and why they were doing it - this was in 1978 or 1979 and he was over a 50 yrs of age at that time.
It was not until his deathbed confession that I understood why he knew all of this. Now after 12 yrs of research I hope I have found the place that can help me. I am not sure where he learned to skydive, but he did - he kept something called a D-ring which was bought off of me at a garage sale after he died and the man paid me a quarter for it and told me what it was...I didn't know the significance of the item because I did not understand what he was trying to tell me in 1996 when he die nor did I know who Dan Cooper was.
The purpose of this post is HOW DO I FIND RECORDS OF JUMPERS FROM THAT TIME FRAME IN THOSE AREAS AND/OR PHOTOS OF JUMPERS FROM 1968 TO 1971? Can anyone help me? The FBI has not been of any help at all although they did take his DNA almost 4 yrs (MARCH OF 2003) ago after I had gone public, just to keep me quiet.
My old puter crashed and I am having the photos pulled off next wk. I would like to circulate the photos of him from various times in his life to skyjumpers to see if anyone can recognize this man.
My research of 10 feet deep is detailed and does everything except put him in a parachute. This is the one thing that will end this. This man I was married to for 17 yrs had been in 6 federal prisons in 7 states for a total of almost 17 yrs before I met and married him. I did not know of his criminal past and we had a good marriage.
How can I contact this Mr Eco - regarding Claudia Webber. Urgent. This was an AKA used by my deceased spouse - can anyone provide a picture of this Claudia Webber? Does anyone or did anyone know this man?
Hopefull this stand alone will clear up the clutter and maybe help.

Anyway...I just cut & pasted the main part of YOUR post entry away from all the other stuff from other people that was on top of it, just makes it easier to read.
Kind of a lazy bunch here, they may not read all the way to the "good stuff" ...your post!

Hi FinisP,
I met your father in November of 1964 when a guy in a bar invited me to jump into a place called Arvin. Jim Dann was on that three-jumper load out of Flying Tigers in Burbank. Jim worked with Bob at Pacific Airmotive Corporation (PAC) near Lockheed and was one of his skydiving students.
As you know, your father was the driving force behind organizing and filming larger and larger freefall formations at Arvin. Most of us tried to get good enough to be invited on Bob's camera jumps. If we didn't get on "The Good Load" we'd put together the best one we could and try to get a hookup going. Everybody was "under the microscope" so if someone "bombed" a star, Bob Buquor knew about it within minutes. Of the hundreds of early jumps made at Arvin only a few were successfully executed as planned. Many ended in awkward ragtag "no touches" or misshapen formations collapsing into violent whirlpools of twisting bodies and swinging boots.
Most chaotic weekends would be salvaged on Sunday evening with what evolved into a traditional four-man dusk jump out of Dave Keagey's 195 from 5500 or 6500 ft. I would exit first, Bill Newell would pin me and then Jim Dann and your father would smoothly complete the formation with smiles all around as the sun disappeared into the ocean.
I remember visiting your dad one evening in his trailer in the San Fernando Valley. It was early in my career and I rode along with Bob Thompson (first six-man) who went to pick up some jump photos from Bob. I found Bob to be a really personable guy.
I don't know if it was you or your sister that Brian Williams introduced me to at the restaurant following Bill Newell's funeral service but I have more stories if you're interested. Here's a picture of your dad I got recently from Tim Harris.

One of the best descriptions of skydiving in the 60's that I have ever heard.

1. First apply some water to your skin, then apply shaving foam or shaving gel.
Note: We advise you to follow the instructions on the foam or gel can to apply the foam or gel to get an optimal shaving result.
2. Rinse the shaving unit under the faucet to ensure that the shaving unit glides smoothly over your skin.
3. Press the on/off button to switch on the shaver. Move the shaving unit in circular movements over your skin.
Note: Rinse the shaver under the tap regularly to ensure that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.
4. Clean your face with some water and dry your face.
5. Thoroughly clean the shaver after use.
Note: If you do not rinse the shaver under the faucet regularly while shaving with foam or gel, the foam or gel may become very thick and this may cause the shaver to switch off due to too much torque (a safety precaution). So don't forget to rinse your shaver under the faucet regularly.

A federal lawsuit has been filed in U.S. District Court in Hartford against the national high-end DirectBuy franchise operation, accusing it of falsely telling prospective clients that they are getting furniture, appliances and other household products at manufacturer prices.
In a lawsuit filed by attorney Seth R. Klein of Hartford, DirectBuy is accused of hiding the fact that DirectBuy receives rebates from manufacturers which are not directly passed on to their members, who pay as much as $7,000 to join for two or three years.
The lawsuit, which seeks to be certified as a class action representing thousands of present and former members of the more than 100 franchises, was filed earlier this month.
It follows a May 11 Watchdog column on DirectBuy that disclosed the rebates, which are kept secret from its members and from those it entices to join through high pressure sales techniques.
DirectBuy officials had no comment on the suit but had said earlier that it uses the millions of dollars it received in rebates to the benefit of its members.
We will see what a jury has to say about that.

Demarcus Dobbs can't quote the exact number. He just knows Georgia isn't favored to win Saturday's season-opener at Oklahoma State.
For record, Las Vegas picks the Cowboys to beat the Bulldogs by six. It's a figure no doubt attributed to the loss of Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno, plus the fact that Georgia wasn't exactly solid on the defensive side.
It's the last part of that equation that bugs Dobbs the most.
"For us, that's the biggest motivation," Dobbs said. "We're a big-time SEC school that has a lot of pride in its program. When people talk down about us with the history we have, it's like a slap in the face. We're Georgia, we want to show that we can play and run with the Big Dogs."
Linebacker Rennie Curran felt the same way.
"I believe we've got a lot of hungry guys that are ready to get out there and make something happen. Between the guys who left and the guys we've got replacing them, like Brandon Boykin replacing Asher Allen, Darryl Gamble coming in there for Dannell (Ellerbe), Bryan Evans
those are guys who have been waiting to get that opportunity, are hungry and excited about wearing the G, that's caring and dedicated. I'm excited about getting out there with them as a defense and it's a good feeling knowing I've got guys as dedicated as I am and want us to win as bad as possible."
As far as season-openers ago, they don't much bigger than Saturday's 3:30 tilt in Stillwater, Okla. between the 9th-ranked Cowboys and 13th-ranked Bulldogs.
Oklahoma State features a veteran offensive team, led by quarterback Zac Robinson, running back Kendall Hunter and wide receiver Dez Bryant, a group many claim to be one of the country's most explosive trios.
Robinson has passed for more than 6,200 career yards and has rushed for more than 1,500 career yards. In its last 19 home games, OSU has scored at least 40 points 13 times.
No doubt the Cowboys want to show the nation that they're ready to contend for a Big 12 championship, and a win over Georgia would certainly be huge confidence builder.
But Curran said he and his teammates have a mission of their own.
"Oklahoma State's offense is very highly-ranked and a veteran bunch," Curran said. "But we've faced guys who were highly-ranked before like when we played in the Sugar Bowl against Colt Brennan. I just feel like this is another one where we have a chance to set the tempo and show that our defense is focused and that it has the desire to go out and make plays."
Defensive coordinator Willie Martinez hopes that's the case.
While Martinez believes his squad will be ready, he does worry how quickly his defense will be able to adjust to the tempo, much less establish one against Robinson and company.
"That's the big concern. It's (tempo) hard to simulate in practice. You do the best you can with the scout team in practice, so this is going to be a big challenge for us," Martinez said. "They've got an excellent group, but we've got some guys who are looking forward to it. We're getting where we need to be, we're not there yet, but we've still got another week to get familiar with what they do and what we have to defend and expect."
From a position standpoint, the Bulldogs appear set with their starting lineup.
Martinez announced Saturday that Dobbs and Roderick Battle will open at defensive end.
The only position that remains a little bit uncertain is Sam linebacker, where Darius Dewberry and Akeem Dent are still battling for the starting job. Curran and Gamble will man Will and Mike, respectively.
Georgia's starting secondary will consist of Boykin (short corner), Prince Miller (wide corner), Evans (free safety) and Reshad Jones (strong safety).
Geno Atkins and Jeff Owens are set to anchor the defensive line.
"It's just exciting, knowing that we're about to go out there, wear that G, to get to represent our school, our family.
It's a good feeling," Curran said. "There's a lot at stake with this game. Not only are we representing our school, we're representing the SEC so this is a good opportunity to set ourselves up for the rest of the season. We want to start out with a good tempo and show everyone what we're all about."
This and that
• The Bulldogs went through a 90-minute "situational scrimmage" in full pads, according to head coach Mark Richt, and it was a productive workout. "Everyone is excited it, they can feel it with the countdown, that in a week's time, they know where they will be," said Richt. "If the juices weren't already flowing, they are now." Saturday's scrimmage featured 20 plays on offense, 20 plays on defense and approximately 20 kicks and Richt said the team "got out of it what we needed."
• Junior Kevin Perez continued to work with the first unit at center. "Kevin knows what to do, he got an opportunity to play today and did an admirable job," said Richt. "It's good to see him play and see that we can function with him in there. That is good for him too."
• Richt said that center Ben Jones and more than likely Chris Davis should return to practice Monday.
• Richt was planning to drive to Greenville, S.C. tonight (Saturday) to watch his son Jon who is a backup quarterback at Mars Hill which opens its season against Greenville College. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!
