OT: Why was it so difficult to get rid of Navy's female 'Captain Bligh'?
What took the Navy so long? I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Navy moved slower than it should have because she's a woman. Large corporations have this discussion all the time -- firing incompetent women is often delayed because of a fear of a discimination claim. It's not right, and it's not fair, but that's the reality in our politically correct times.
We often hear from feminists about the alleged "glass ceiling" (so-called because no one can see it and we must take it on faith that it exists). It is a term often used by persons interested only in equal outcomes as opposed to equal opportunity. Most fair-minded people, and everyone who believes in the ideals America was built on, support the latter but not the former. But here's a thought: whether or not a "glass ceiling" exists, there does seem to be a glass floor. This means that once women are promoted to a position they shouldn't have, it's difficult to get rid of them.
Just sayin'.

Two thoughts...
One, it must have been pretty bad to remove the CO of a vessel.
Two, I suspect that her being female meant that the brass probably let it go futher than they would have had it been a male doing the abuse. - Mar 7, 2010, 8:43:00 PM
Also, that she comes from a family of Admirals and Captains gave her some pretty big back-up.
- Mar 7, 2010, 9:01:00 PM
It's true that feminists tend to support equality-of-outcome, but only to the extent that this favors women.
If men are more successful than women in any field, then the state should intervene to guarantee 50-50 outcomes. But if women are more successful in other fields like life expectancy, education, homelessness, inherited wealth, etc., they are happy to preserve or even exacerbate the status quo.
It is called privatizing your gains and socializing your losses. While men are expected to socialize their gains and privatize their losses. - Mar 7, 2010, 9:05:00 PM

Of course this woman got a pussy pass! What did you expect? Women always get the pussy pass...
Anyone remember Kara Hultgreen? She was the F-14 pilot who crashed her plane on landing, killing both her and her RIO. When Miss Hultgreen had been in training, it was told that she'd had seven (7) downs; these are major screw ups which could endanger plane and crew. Male pilots are usually WASHED OUT of flight training after two (2) downs, while Miss Hultgreen had seven. Even so, she was still allowed to fly, which resulted in: 1) the loss of an F-14; 2) killed two crew, the pilot and RIO; 3) damaged the aircraft carrier on which plane and crew were based.

And the Navy is about to let women serve aboard subs:

Most likely. Females have been "authorized" (allowed) to speak/treat males, especially subordinate males, any way they desire. - Mar 8, 2010, 7:47:00 AM

Was the Ft. Hood shooter given a quote: "pussy pass"? His disloyal, erratic and alarming behaviors only served to earn him one promotion after another.
John McCain was well known as a lousy pilot getting by because of strong military family ties. He crashed several planes. I'll have to look again if he didn't kill someone.
Pussy pass my ass. - Mar 8, 2010, 9:40:00 AM
Feminist support neither equality of opportunity or equality of outcome. They support "me me me!"
- Mar 8, 2010, 12:43:00 PM
It was a pussy pass. Get a life, fool.

Was the Ft. Hood shooter given a quote: "pussy pass"? His disloyal, erratic and alarming behaviors only served to earn him one promotion after another.
No, he was given the "would rather put people lives in jeopardy than god forbid offend a Muslim" pass, which is part of the leftist school of though where feminism resides. The school of thought that ends lives and ruins countries. - Mar 8, 2010, 2:32:00 PM

Was the Ft. Hood shooter given a quote: "pussy pass"?
no. He got the "Diversity is more important than the lives of our soldiers" pass. And he was getting it while ruining soldiers lives, long before he started killing them. - Mar 10, 2010, 1:18:00 PM

I'm active duty Navy and while I won't discount the possibility of gender bias, I feel that the long wait is more a military problem in general than a gender specific one. She was high-ranking, had come from a family of similarly high-ranking officers, and was being punished for something comparatively subjective. (By which I mean, it wasn't something that was concrete, ie, doing drugs, getting a DUI, etc. It was something that required testimony. Equally against the rules, but harder to prove.)
Was there gender bias? Perhaps. But I'm not sure if the bias in question would have been enough to really affect the length of time regarding her dismissal.
And regarding the insistence by some people of a "pussy pass" -- you can't call "pussy pass" and then refuse to acknowledge arguments that show the exact same thing happening to men. If such a pass happens to both genders on a relatively equal degree, then it can't be qualified as a single gender "pass" -- rather, the nature of it must be related to another aspect, such as rank, race, religion, etc. (Or, perhaps, more than one aspect.) - Mar 10, 2010, 2:03:00 PM
John McCain not only crashed 5 planes on different occasions, but killed a fellow pilot flying a neighboring plane while he was at it.
Again, I ask. Was John McCain given a 'pussy pass'? - Mar 10, 2010, 2:13:00 PM

KALAMAZOO (AP) — Tyler Benz threw two touchdown passes and Dylan Mulder booted three field goals as Eastern Michigan defeated Western Michigan 29-23 Saturday.
Benz had scoring throws of 5 yards to Donald Scott and 8 yards to Alex Gillett while completing 13 of 21 passes for 137 yards for the Eagles (2-9, 1-6 Mid-American). Dominique Sherrer also scored on a 3-yard run.
Western Michigan (4-8, 2-6) had more offensive yards than Eastern — 443 to 369 — but settled for Andrew Haldeman field goals on its three second-half scoring drives. Alex Carder was 29 for 50 passing for 328 yards and TD passes of 1 yard to Blake Hammond and 25 to Justin Collins, who had nine catches for 101 yards.
The Broncos were playing their final game of the season, and head coach Bill Cubit was fired after the game. Eastern Michigan wraps up next week against Northern Illinois.
Central Michigan 30, Miami (Ohio) 16
MOUNT PLEASANT — Zurlon Tipton ran for 113 yards and two touchdowns to lead Central Michigan to a 30-16 win over Miami of Ohio on Saturday.
Tipton carried 24 times and scored on runs of 12 and 1 yards to keep the bowl hopes alive for the Chippewas (5-6, 3-4 Mid-American). Central Michigan must defeat Massachusetts Friday in Foxboro, Mass., to be bowl eligible.
Ryan Radcliff threw for 202 yards and a TD for Central Michigan, which led 21-7 at halftime. After Miami got within 21-16, Saylor Lavallii's 10-yard touchdown run gave the Chippewas a 28-16 with 10:28 remaining.
Zac Dysert ran for a score and threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to Nick Harwell for the RedHawks (4-7, 3-4). Dysert finished with 343 yards on 26-of-43 passing, but was sacked five times, intercepted once.

I am Cynthia Piekarski, the owner of Hudson, Ohio based Cynthia Marie Photography.
I love photography and feel incredibly lucky to have fallen into it as a career choice for myself. I truly enjoy photographing special moments for people, whether it's via a special event or a photo session. I didn't set out to be a photographer, I picked it up as a hobby in college and gradually grew into it until one day, being a photographer was the only thing I could see myself doing.
To me, photography is exciting. It's fun and unpredictable. My clients become good friends and it allows me to catpure their true emotions. I strive for my work to be timeless and not just the newest trend. I love bright colors and striking black and white images. I capture a lot of candid moments, but I know sometimes a simple posed photo, done correctly, can capture just as much emotion.
If it's your wedding day, I work hard to make you comfortable and make sure your pictures are what you always imagined they would be. If I'm working with you on a session for yourself, a child or your family; your comfort is still my priority. Coming to your home or a familiar location is one way I ensure your session is all about documenting who you are.
I am a mother of 3 amazing kids, a wife of (almost!) 10 years to a great guy and a sister to 5 younger siblings. I know that life is completely unpredictable and while we tend to plan our sessions and special events as carefully as possible, often the unexpected happens. Those moments can be some of the best memories and I strive to capture lots of little details no matter what I am photographing. I've learned to live life as it comes and to make the most of every day...and every moment.
I'd love to plan a session or special event with you and have fun capturing so much more than you ever expected!
Thanks for stopping by, I hope to hear from you soon!
XOXO, Cynthia

1. Brief Portrait of Demag Cranes AG
Demag Cranes is one of the world's leading providers of industrial cranes, crane components, harbour cranes and port automation technology. Services, in particular maintenance and refurbishment services, are another key element of its business activities. The activities of Demag Cranes are divided up into three segments: Industrial Cranes, Port Technology and Services.
In Demag and Gottwald, the Group has strong brands and believes that it is a global market leader by virtue of its innovation and technology leadership, its excellent product and service quality and its close and long-term customer relationships. Demag Cranes manufactures in 16 countries on five continents and through subsidiaries, agencies and a joint venture operates one of the most comprehensive worldwide sales and service networks in the industry. The Group is represented in more than 60 countries and reaches customers in more than 100 countries.
The core expertise of Demag Cranes is in the development of technologically advanced cranes and hoists as well as automated transport and logistic systems in ports, the manufacture of high-quality components, and the provision of services for the entire product range. Cranes and hoists by Demag Cranes are distinguished by their high quality in terms of safety, reliability, longevity and precision while offering low cost maintenance over their entire service life.
With more than 1,000 patents and above-average high investments in research and development, Demag Cranes focuses on innovation and technology leadership. Development and production are always carried out on a modularised and standardised basis. Through close cooperation with crane-manufacturing partners in the Industrial Cranes segment, the Group also achieves broad geographical coverage in less industrialised regions and a high level of operating flexibility.
Demag Cranes pursues a consistent growth strategy to attain sustained profitable growth. The success of this strategy has been achieved principally through significant internationalisation of its business, the successful development and market introduction of new, innovative products, ranges and series and the implementation of extensive programs to increase efficiency. The Company's leading market position is to be further expanded by means of innovation and continuous structural improvements in the coming years.
In financial year 2010/2011, the Group generated total revenue of EUR 1,062.3 million and operative earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of EUR 75.7 million with some 6,115 employees (as at 30 September 2011). From 01.10.10 to 30.09.11, 19.3 per cent of revenue was generated in Germany, 27.5 per cent in Europe excluding Germany and Russia, 15.0 per cent in North, Central and South America, 15.3 per cent in Asia, 17.4 per cent in the so-called BRIC countries and 5.4 per cent in other countries.
Demag Cranes has been manufacturing cranes and hoists for almost two centuries. The business operations of the current Group are the result of a combination of Demag Cranes & Components GmbH (Industrial Cranes and Services segment) and Gottwald Port Technology GmbH (Port Technology segment) under the control of Demag Cranes AG. Since June 2006, Demag Cranes AG has been trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the code D9C in the Prime Standard index. Since August 2011, the Terex Group in the United States has held a majority share in the company.

4. Segments
Demag Cranes is a worldwide leading supplier of industrial cranes and provides solutions for material flow, logistics requirements and drive applications with a comprehensive range of products and services for industrial plants of all sizes. Above all, the Group currently serves the premium segment of the market with its products. The high demands of its customers for quality, reliability and performance are significant driving factors for the continuous development of its technology-leading products.
a. Industrial Cranes (46.1 per cent of total sales in financial year 2010/2011)
In its Industrial Cranes segment, the Group develops and manufactures high-quality components, such as rope hoists, chain hoists, travel units and motors, as well as complete cranes. A distinction is made between Standard Cranes and Process Cranes. Standard Cranes are configured from standardised modules for industrial infrastructure applications. Process Cranes, although also made from largely standardised modules, are integrated individually into the customer's specific production processes. Our highly versatile KBK crane construction kit is primarily used in industries with changing production requirements, such as the automotive industry. We are the world market leader in these crane systems. In the past financial year, Demag Cranes completed an important step as part of its mid-segment strategy focusing on the emerging markets with the launch of its DC-Bas chain hoist in China and India. Based on European standards, DC-Bas is designed to meet the exact needs of customers in these countries. The LC-Bas light crane system, the DR-Bas rope hoist, drive components, crane sets and complete cranes in various designs will subsequently be launched successively in the two largest Asian markets. As a second step, the Bas product family is also to be launched in Southeast Asia.
In financial year 2010/2011, the Industrial Cranes segment generated revenue of EUR 489.8 million, which corresponds to a share of 46.1 per cent of total sales.
b. Port Technology (22.5 per cent of total sales in financial year 2010/2011)
The Port Technology segment covers products and services for ports and terminals, which are sold under the Gottwald brand. The range extends from conventional cargo handling equipment such as Mobile Harbour Cranes to automated solutions for container transport and storage. In this segment, we also offer planning and consultancy services for terminal operators, software solutions as well as assembly and maintenance services. Our primary focus here is on solutions that enable our customers to optimise their material flow and logistics processes. According to our own market research, we occupy the leading position in mobile harbour cranes with an installed base of approximately 1,400 cranes. The Demag Cranes Group also ranks among the pioneers and leading international suppliers in the promising terminal automation sector. In this segment, Demag Cranes is one of the few suppliers able to develop and market integrated, end-to-end solutions including the associated software solution. With the acquisition of UK-based DB Controls in the past financial year, Demag Cranes successfully underpinned its strategy of expanding its bulk handling capabilities in the Port Technology segment. Thanks to the complementary service portfolio of DB Controls, Demag Cranes is expanding its range of software and consultancy services, previously geared to port and hinterland container terminals, to include the bulk materials handling. Customers gain full global service from a single source.
In financial year 2010/2011, the Port Technology segment generated revenue of EUR 239.0 million, which corresponds to a share of 22.5 per cent of total revenue.
c. Services (31.4 per cent of total sales in financial year 2010/2011)
In its Services segment, the Group offers a complete range of services for the optimum use, maintenance and refurbishment of cranes and lifting equipment. Alongside standard services such as spare parts supply, fault elimination, maintenance and repairs, this increasingly includes consultancy and training services to optimise the use of crane systems. Refurbishment and conversion work is carried out using both standard products and sophisticated tailored solutions. The range of service contracts extends from simple recurring inspections through preventive maintenance to full-service arrangements. They cover not just our own Industrial Crane products but also third-party products and related equipment. The use of the latest technical developments, such as remote servicing, allows us to offer our customers condition-based customised services.
In financial year 2010/2011, the Services segment generated revenue of EUR 333.5 million, which corresponds to a share of 31.4 per cent of total revenue.

MOVIE REVIEW: Cusack does Poe proud in 'The Raven' (video)
The image of Edgar Allan Poe passed down to us is that of a dour, pale and morbid drunkard, a poet haunted by lovers who died in his arms. But he was also a playful wordsmith, an eviscerating critic, a man fascinated by cryptography (codes) and fond of dissections.
That's the Poe of "The Raven," a fanciful, witty and suspenseful revision of Poe's last days that is more entertaining than it has any right to be.
Poe wore his hair a little long, and a mustache. But John Cusack gives America's first great suffering artist an intellectual's (or pseudo-intellectual's) goatee, a cape and a lot of swagger, a cross between Lord Byron and Sherlock Holmes. The bottle is ever-present, the debts to his bartenders ever pressing. But not to worry.
"Ill be as flush as a sultan by dawn!"
Another poem, story or review is due to be published by the one Baltimore newspaper that'll have him. He's not an easy fellow to tolerate, hurling "Philistine!" and "mental oyster" insults at one and all.
No wonder the two-fisted Captain Hamilton (Brendan Gleeson, in fine fury) refuses to let his daughter (Alice Eve, beguiling as ever) marry this sharp-tongued wastrel. The fair Emily, Poe's last muse, has other ideas.
Poe may be broke, but he is famous, he insists. He has invented detective fiction and the suspense thriller. Stories such as "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Tell-tale Heart" have ensured his legend, and that poem about the black bird comes to mind every time we see such birds in the dingy skies above 1840s Baltimore (actually, Budapest and Belgrade).
Then, people start dying. A pit and pendulum murder here, a victim possibly walled up in a sewer there. The detective (Luke Evans, in a bland performance) recognizes them. Somebody is imitating the deaths in Poe's fiction, and Detective Fields is "in dire need of your un-wholesome expertise." Not that Poe can be of much help
Until the killer, in a way the gambler Poe must appreciate, ups the ante. There's a kidnapping. Clues among the murder victims will point to the correct story, the way the kidnap victim will die. Poe is trapped in a ticking-clock thriller of his own invention. Continued...
Cusack, in the most dashing, least introverted role of his career, is a delight, manic one moment, overwhelmed by regret in the next. "I've used up all my tricks," he sighs, depressed at the killer's "dreadful metaphors for life without hope, the death without purpose."
Director James McTeigue ("V For Vendetta") keeps the movie in motion, and as long as it's in motion, with Cusack scrambling, delivering zingers and showing panic at what his fervid imagination has created, it works. Dread and foreboding hang over the film, which has the look of a graphic novel adaptation. There are dead spots in the narrative and dead weights in the cast (villain and cop are lacking), and the climax is anti-climactic.
But the script — peppered with Poe references (some of which have to be explained to the audience), is fun, especially for Poe fans, who might be tempted to cast a jaundiced eye on this endeavor. Still, if the movies can give us H.G. Wells as a real time traveler ("Time After Time") and Abraham Lincoln as a vampire slayer ("Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"), why not a Poe who is a lover, a virile man of action, an amateur sleuth who sacrifices all for art and love?

Komodo dragon
bites 2 in office
JAKARTA, Indonesia Two people have been hospitalized after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into the office of a wildlife park in eastern Indonesia.
An official at Komodo National Park, Heru Rudiharto, said Wednesday the 6½-foot-long Komodo dragon attacked a park ranger after walking into the office on Tuesday.
It then attacked another park employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali Island.
Rudiharto said the park ranger also was attacked by a Komodo dragon in 2009.
Endangered Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.MORE IN Wire NewsSEOUL, South Korea North Korea fired three short-range guided missiles into its eastern waters ...

Looking for some ideas on how to use this. I have made two smoked beers using the beechwood smoked malt, but have never used this before.
My smoked porter had about 4 lbs of smoked malt in it, my smoked marzen had 6 lbs. While intense, I was happy with the 6 lbs in the marzen, but from what I understand, the Cherrywood smoked malt might be a bit stronger in flavor than the beechwood smoked malt.
I am leaning toward making another marzen style beer with it as opposed to a darker beer like a porter, but am wondering if there might be something else to try. Smoked wheat?
Also - any thoughts on how much to use? I have 5 lbs, and honestly wouldn't be afraid to use it all in one 5g batch, unless someone wants to convince me this is a bad idea.

Action News has been digging deeper into how Cladek lured in some of the most successful and educated people in our area.
"I lost $700,000," said one victim.
Action News sat down with a handful of her victims to discuss how much they lost and why they invested with the local ponzi schemer. By the time the feds raided her St. Augustine Beach office, Cladek bilked more than $100 million from investors.
These people were Cladek's neighbors and friends who eventually became her clients. Cladek was known for targeting elderly women who lived on Atlantic View Dr., the street where one of Cladek's three St. Augustine homes were located.
"Stunned," said Nancy Brantley. "I was absolutely stunned. I couldn't believe she would do such a thing. Not this woman who I really admired."
Cladek's investors were offered the opportunity to "loan" money to her St. Augustine Beach-basded company, Lydia Cladek, Inc., in exchange for a promissory note from the corporation. The notes were secured by car notes that Lydia Cladek, Inc. had already purchased.
In some cases, the car notes used as collateral to investor notes had previously been assigned to four or five investors in the past. According to the F.B.I., in many cases, the car notes were then assigned to new victim investors, sometimes in as little as a week.
In addition to making false representations about the quality of the investors' collateral, Cladek used new investor funds to pay interest to old investors and to fund her lavish lifestyle, including three vacation homes in south Florida, each one valued at more than $1 million. By March 31, 2010, the existing performing car notes owned by Cladek had dwindled to just under $4 million, while the outstanding loans to investors exceeded $90 million.
Cladek was calculating with her charms. She researched her clients' interests, attended their churches and donated to their favorite charities.
Nancy Brantley invested thousands to help pay for cancer treatments. "I was very hurt," said Brantley. "I just couldn't believe a woman that would sit on my couch and hold my hand and say it's going to be OK could be such a monster."
"We were all of retirement age so it was very easy for us to do anything that she said," said Jane Edney. "She was just so positive that she could help every single one of us."
For those who were skeptical from the start, Cladek offered them an investment guide that put to rest any doubts. In black and white, you see the claims – "Has anyone lost money with Lydia Cladek, Inc.?" reads the headline. "No. The people who have loaned money to Lydia Cladek, Inc., have only made money with the company. Lydia has been working with private lenders since 1994 and everyone has been paid on time as agreed."
For anyone with questions about her sweet deal – she addressed under the headline "Sounds too good to be true?" The booklet stated, "An offer that sounds too good to be true usually suggests little work and high returns. Not so with "Car Notes." This is not a sophisticated business, but visit our offices and you will see it simply involves hard work and extreme diligence in every step of the process."
Jane Edney lived just down the street from Cladek on Atlantic View Dr. "When I first invested with her she was already $20 million in debt," said Edney.
By 2009, many of her clients were nervous about the payouts. The economy had tanked and checks were coming in late, and some weren't coming in at all. Soon, someone picked up the phone and called the feds.
Even as federal investigators raided Cladek's office in April of 2010, Cladek promised her clients that her business was on the up and up.
"I remember she lied to us right up to the very last minute," said Edney.
During her September sentencing in U.S. Federal Court, Cladek showed no signs of remorse or responsibility. In fact, she adamantly denied stealing any money when she addressed the judge. "They did not prove that the money I withdrew came from investor funds," said Cladek.
She's a sociopath," said another local investor. "She has no compassion, no ability to relate to other people and that's what we saw in court."
Another investor compared Cladek to an unconscious force of nature like a tornado. "I had a belief system with this person," he said. "Suddenly there was this betrayal. If it was just a betrayal only in a material form, that would be one thing. It was a betrayal of spirit; it was a betrayal of the deepest core of trust."
Cladek's jail time is only a small victory for her victims who now have to focus on rebuilding their lives.
"I'm 81-years-old so you don't get a job too easily at that age," said Edney.
For others like Brantley, Cladek caused a world of pain beyond the deadly disease she was already fighting. "Hate, I can't say that I hate her but she took my life away, really."
Even with Cladek behind bars, there are still many unanswered questions about her operation. St. Johns county bankruptcy attorney, Nina LaFleur represents 53 former Cladek clients. LaFleur says only the F.B.I. could know where the millions she bilked went.
A forensic trustee appointed by the court attempted to trace the money. It's reported Cladek transferred at least $20 million out of Lydia Cladek, Inc. to her personal bank account. But that money is not in any U.S. bank account. LaFleur and many of Cladek's victims predict that money is sitting in an off-shore bank account.

You hear a lot about radio, and data-links and advanced communications. But in a lot of videos, you see pilots making hand gestures out of the canopy towards each other. Do they just do that when they're being taped for show? Or do they actually use hand signals a lot?

Hand gestures do indeed have a purpose in the real world. The Navy in particular relies on them during flight deck ops because the sheer noise and ops tempo make electronic intercom unfeasible. USAF uses them too albeit for differing reasons. When you're in Last Chance you use hands to talk to the ground folks lookin' you over. For transient jets at airfields unaccustomed to handling something like a fighter or lack the compatible GSE gear, the pilot will brief the ground support people about what gestures mean what.
When airborne, sometimes it's just easier to flip a hand signal than to key up a radio. If you're having radio problems, hand signals are used to relay your status. The catch is the guy/gal you're signalling has to be close enough to see it. Not Thunderbird close, but inside of 100 feet or so (pilots have pretty good eyesight
). And even with all the fancy shmancy comm gear nowadays, sometimes it's more secure to use hand gestures with your wingman for comm sec purposes.

And we aerospace parking attendants brief the crew on hand signals during the walk around. They come in real handy (no pun) when you're launching/parking more than one jet. We got kudos last week parking 11 F-16's in about ten minutes. Fuel emergency. There were three of us. Stop them. Pin them. Signal to shut down and on to the next one. Many had never seen "Wave bye bye" as a hand signal. But they waited in the cockpit until we brought the ladders. Back in the Stone Age, the F-105 Red Ball crew wore t shirts. On the back was a big thumbs down with the logo "Shut Her Down". They just walked away from the jet.

I just read a great article in Wingman Magazine summing up the differences in hand signals between Air Force and Navy pilots that caused confusion between a Viper driver and a Hornet driver during an exercise. I'm going to use the article in class with my international military pilots as an activity (I can post the scans if anyone's interested).

To my knowledge, the USAF and international community are very standardized with their signals (yes, there are some differences). However, I've not found any other military that uses the Navy's version. I'm sure there might be,... I just haven't found them.

handsignals in flight are used almost exclusively for nordo situations. no tactical applications as your wingman is too far away

Wow, and don't forget the fun of being NORDO at night!
"Section instrument approach with wingman NORDO procedures
NORDO aircraft attracts attention by switching external lights to bright and flashing
a.Signal wingman with flashlight; move flashlight vertically to acknowledge NORDO
(1) Use light signals to change aircraft configuration
(a) Speed brakes: preparatory signal is three dashes withexternal lights; pause, then execute when lights come backon steady
(b) Gear and flaps/slats: lead shines flashlight in a circular motion as preparatory signal, then sharply drops flashlight vertically below canopy for execution"
So what happens when you drop the flashlight?

Take Control of Switching to the Mac
Please login to add notes
Switching to the Mac is easier than ever with our real-world advice!
You're using Windows, so we're guessing that you're considering a switch to the Mac (good for you!) or that you're a Mac user on a PC at work. (If the latter, you may want to read the Mac-user version of this page.)
There has never been a better time to switch to the Mac, but it's easier said than done. Never fear, because Scott Knaster, an alumnus of both Apple and Microsoft, has written a concise guide to speed you on your way. He starts by showing you what's cool about the Mac and how you can work around any troublesome bits, and, if you haven't already picked a Mac, he helps you choose among the different models. Then it's into the nitty-gritty, where Scott explains how to set up your Mac and navigate the Macintosh interface before clarifying which Mac applications replace familiar Windows programs and how to move your data to the Mac, including documents, email messages, address books, music, and Web bookmarks. Once you're set up, Scott helps you learn the basics of using the Mac, including how to set up multiple users, work effectively in Finder windows, search with Spotlight, manage applications and windows, use the network, print, download software updates, and more. As a bonus, you'll learn five Mac features you can't live without and find five more useful tips to help you become a power user. Finally, Scott has some advice if you must share documents with Windows users or run the occasional Windows application.
This book covers the steps needed to switch your computing life from Windows to the Macintosh. It covers a lot of ground and by the end, you'll be running on your Mac with your files moved over from your Windows PC, and you'll know how to get around on your new Mac.

NEW ORLEANS — N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell suggested Friday that the league could use suspensions more often to enforce its crackdown on hits to the head. During the season, the league suspended Ravens safety Ed Reed for his third violation of rules prohibiting helmet-to-helmet hits on defenseless players. The suspension was overturned on appeal by Ted Cottrell, an N.F.L. hearing officer.
"I think we're going to have to continue to see discipline escalate, particularly on repeat offenders," Goodell said. "It's not just the player, the defenseless player, that's being protected; it's the person doing the striking. We see in the injury rates that the defenseless player and the defensive back are having a higher injury rate."
When players keep violating the rule, they're going to be taken off the field, he said, adding,"Suspension gets through to them."
Goodell made the remarks during his annual state-of-the-league news conference, which was heavy with questions about player safety. It came one day after players union leaders, at a Thursday news conference, challenged the league on several player safety issues.
Union leaders said that they wanted a neutral chief safety officer to be appointed to hear appeals about acceptable levels of care, and that an internal survey of players showed that most did not trust their team's medical staff. The union offered no numbers from the survey.
Goodell sounded irritated by the union's announcements, noting two times that the league and union met for four hours last week — with players and owners in attendance — and the survey had not been raised by the union, an indication of the fractured relationship between the league and the players.
Among the other topics Goodell touched on:
- He thinks the N.F.L. will have testing for human growth hormone for the 2013 season. The league and union agreed to start testing when the collective bargaining agreement was completed 18 months ago, but since then they have sparred over the details, and Congress has begun to apply pressure to get the agreement finished.
- He said the league would look to set standards for the quality of playing fields, probably a reaction to the sloppy turf at FedEx Field.
- He said his only regret from the Saints' bounty scandal was his inability to get everyone — he singled out the union — to realize that bounties must be eliminated from the game.
GIANTS PUNTER'S DENIAL Mitch Ross, who told Sports Illustrated that he had given Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis a spray form of deer antler extract, containing a substance banned by the N.F.L., told reporters that he had also supplied other N.F.L. players with the spray, including Giants punter Steve Weatherford.
Weatherford denied the allegation in a message on Twitter, writing: "I have never used anything illegal in my life. Being a role model is too important to me. These claims are a marketing ploy." Weatherford has consulted with a lawyer, Peter Siachos, about Ross's statements.
Lewis has also denied having used the substance.

OverviewSneasel isn't as dangerous as its evolution, Weavile, but it can pose a formidable threat in the lower tiers. As it has one of the highest Speed stats in the NU tier and its Attack stat can leave a dent in anything that doesn't resist its STABs, it makes a very good revenge killer. However, Sneasel isn't without its flaws; with a weakness to Stealth Rock, common weaknesses in Fire, Rock, and Fighting, and pitiful Defense and HP, Sneasel is fairly easy to KO. If you're incredibly lucky, Sneasel can pull off a sweep with Swords Dance, revenge kill with a Choice item, or trap fleeing Psychic-types with Pursuit. It may not look the part, but Sneasel is incredibly powerful given the right support.
Thanks to its high Speed, Sneasel can revenge kill most Psychic- and Ghost-types with Pursuit without having to take a hit. Ice Punch is Sneasel's most reliable STAB move and hits bulky Grass- and Ground-types super effectively. Ice Shard helps Sneasel finish off weakened opponents and Dragon-type Pokemon locked into Outrage, while Brick Break hits Pokemon such as Lapras and Miltank super effectively. Low Kick can be used if you prefer its higher Base Power against Regirock and Lapras, who can take Sneasel's other attacks with ease. Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set takes a different approach to Sneasel, attempting to deal as much damage as possible before going down. The idea is to switch into a Pokemon Sneasel can force out and proceed to set up Swords Dance; from there, Sneasel can pummel the opponent with boosted STAB moves or shut them down with Taunt. Ice Punch is recommended as it is Sneasel's most reliable STAB move. Low Kick can OHKO Regirock after Stealth Rock and Spikes damage, while Lapras is OHKOed when at +2 Attack. Furthermore, the combination of Ice Punch and Low Kick is only resisted by Tentacool, Slowking, Lampent, and Frillish. Bite rounds off Sneasel's coverage and means that Sneasel hits everything in the tier for at least neutral damage. Taunt can be used to stop the opponent from setting up, and it usually forces defensive Psychic-types, such as Musharna, to switch out. Team Options & Additional Comments >>>Other OptionsSneasel's movepool isn't great—it doesn't even have Night Slash—but it has a few options to consider. Punishment can be used to batter Calm Mind users such as Musharna, while Knock Off renders Eviolite Pokemon useless. Fake Out is somewhat gimmicky but breaks the opponent's Focus Sash, and Counter can be used with Focus Sash to catch physical attackers, such as Sawk, off guard. Finally, Sneasel can use a gimmicky set with Eviolite and defensive EVs, but its awful defensive typing makes it difficult to pull off. Checks and CountersMost Fighting-types can destroy our clawed friend. Sawk can utilize a Choice Scarf to outrun and batter Sneasel, while bulkier Pokemon, such as Throh, Gurdurr, and Machoke, can take a hit and deal massive damage in return. Torkoal resists Ice-type moves, has Will-O-Wisp to lower Sneasel's Attack, and can KO Sneasel with Lava Plume. Weezing takes little damage from any of Sneasel's attacks, deals massive damage with Fire Blast, and cripples Sneasel with Will-O-Wisp. Armaldo can switch into Sneasel's Ice-type attacks and threaten it with X-Scissor or Rock Blast. Regirock and Carracosta can take on sets without Low Kick, but neither of them likes taking boosted attacks. Magcargo can burn Sneasel with Will-O-Wisp or KO it with Lava Plume, but its lack of recovery makes it an easy Pokemon to revenge kill. Thanks to Alomomola's massive HP and Defense, it can wall Sneasel all day, and it has access to Wish and Toxic to keep it alive and let it wear down Sneasel, respectively. Most Water-types can deal with Sneasel; these include Whiscash, Seismitoad, and Relicanth. Almost anything with decent Defense that isn't weak to Ice-type moves can be considered a counter; Sneasel isn't dangerous enough to require a specialized counter. |

Good old Walsall Police Station. We've been working out of the station on Green Lane ever since we left our former address on Goodall Street back in 1966.
You can probably tell from the funky design of the roof that our building on Green Lane dates back to the swinging sixties, although I can assure you that inside the building is (for the most part) fairly modern.
Sure, we do have a few ball chairs and a vinyl record player blasting out the Rolling Stones but then, who doesn't?
As good as the Stones were (are?) though, music has moved on a great deal since the sixties and so have building designs.
Just like the members of the Stones themselves, our base on Green Lane is now looking a little 'weathered' and as such the search for a suitable replacement is underway.
Subject to complicated negotiations between lots of different parties, progress was always going to follow a similar pace to that at which Charlie Watts now climbs the stairs to his drum kit, however recently details have emerged on how we're looking to find new accommodation in Walsall.
Summing up the announcement from our News Beat website, the outline of the proposal is to as follows:
- Moving some of the neighbourhood and partnership teams in with Walsall Council at the Civic Centre on Darwall Street
- Having the response shifts, the head honchos from the command team and other departments work from Bloxwich Police Station
- Bloxwich would become our Local Policing Unit HQ
- The old station on Green Lane would be 'disposed of', probably by huge wrecking balls, explosives and diggers with fierce claw attachments.
There's incentive to leave Green Lane as looking after the station in its old age is becoming increasingly expensive, a maintenance bill of half a million a year at last count, and not only this, listening to loose bits of cladding crashing into the roof on windy nights was always a bit disconcerting for officers too.
Working from the Civic Centre would offer several advantages including enabling officers to work more closely with council partners, being more accessible for the public and as mentioned, freeing up money that could be better spent elsewhere.
As for a time frame, should the proposals successfully make the transition to solid plans then officers could be working from the Civic Centre as early as this September with the bulk of the rest of the move taking around a year and a half.
As Police and Crime Commissioner Bob Jones has said, "The proposals really do embody the spirit of joint partnership working and will allow police and the council to work even more closely together which can only be of huge benefit to the people of Walsall."
I'll keep you posted on the latest news as when I hear it, your feedback on the proposals is welcome too and you can contact us via a variety of different options on the Walsall LPU website to let us know what you think.
