Depression, Teens & Facebook
There are recent reports concerning whether teen Facebook users experience an increase in depression. Researchers disagree whether this is a new type of depression or an extension of existing forms of depression. Teens with low self-esteem, school stress and family stress are vulnerable to depression.
The number of friends they have on Facebook, their status as well as the status of their friends, and the constantly updated photos may add to a teen feeling self critical and not 'popular' enough. It can also add to feeling ostracized, bullied, or teased.
Social networks help teens feel more connected. Social networks have become the place teens "hang out." However, if that teen does not feel like they measure up to other teens; it can become a world of loneliness and a constant reminder of perceived shortcomings. In extreme cases, suicide notes have been posted on Facebook, which demonstrate the powerful connection teens feel toward their virtual and real friends. Social networks offer teens a skewed view of the real world and they don't have the brain development to understand this is not the real world.
If the teen's family is not engaged with the teen, the social network takes on a much more potent place in the teen's world. In fact, it may become the child's world. Pediatricians are now encouraging parents to talk with their kids about being online and how to recognize depression caused by social media, cyber bullying, sexting and other online risks.
Below are ten signs your teen may be depressed:
- Loss of interest in activities, hobbies and other things they used to be very interested in.
- More isolated—never spend time with their friends anymore.
- Sleeping all the time or up in the middle of the night because they cannot sleep.
- A loss or increase in appetite.
- Notable weight loss or gain.
- Lethargic or flat mood.
- More irritable or easily frustrated.
- A downward trend in grades.
- Not wanting to go to school.
- Weepy, labile moods.
If you see any of these signs with your teen and they last more than two weeks, it is time to talk to your teen and make an appointment with your pediatrician for an evaluation of depression. Depression is insidious and many times teens won't know they are depressed until the depression lifts. Depression can kill, but it is also curable.
Below are signs your child may be the victim of cyber bullying. Please note many of these signs mimic signs of depression. Parents should intervene right away when they see the below signs. Waiting two weeks may be too long.

Comment on this storyPolokwane - Three rhino poachers have been arrested at Nwanedi Game Reserve in Tshamatumbu, Limpopo police said on Thursday.
Colonel Ronel Otto said rangers saw them carrying a hunting rifle on Tuesday.
"When the rangers confronted the suspects, shots were fired at them. The rangers returned fire, injuring one of the suspects in the leg," said Otto.
The men fled, but were arrested later at their homes at Mosodi Village. An unlicensed .303 hunting rifle was confiscated.
They were expected to appear in the Mutale Magistrate's Court on Thursday on charges of trespassing, illegal possession of a firearm and unlawful hunting. - Sapa

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editors' note: This review is part of our 2010 retail laptop and desktop back-to-school roundup, covering specific fixed configurations of popular systems that can be found in retail stores.
We won't spend too many words on this review since it's a straightforward case. Considering it features lesser specs than a $429 eMachines desktop, we cannot recommend the $489 Dell Inspiron i560-2050NBK.
We don't have anything against the Dell's chassis, but it's not that remarkable, either. Like most midtower PCs, it comes in unobtrusive glossy black. A media card reader and a DVD burner hide behind two doors on the front panel, features you'll also find on the eMachines ET1831-07.
Dell Inspiron i560-2050NBK | eMachines ET1831-07 | |
Price | $489 | $429 |
CPU | 2.7GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400 | 2.7GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400 |
Memory | 4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM | 4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM |
Graphics | 32MB (shared) Intel GMA X4500 HD | 256MB (shared) NVIDIA GeForce 7050 integrated graphics chip |
Hard drives | 500GB, 7,200 rpm | 750GB, 7,200 rpm |
Optical drive | dual-layer DVD burner | dual-layer DVD burner |
Networking | Gigabit Ethernet | 10/100 Ethernet LAN |
Operating system | Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) | Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) |
The side-by-side comparison between these two PCs tells you most of what you need to know. They have the same CPU and the same amount of 800MHz system memory. Neither offers wireless networking or other unique features, but the eMachines has a larger hard drive for a lower price than the Dell. We've even seen that eMachines on sale for $389, so be sure to shop around. Perhaps within the confines of a Best Buy store, where you won't find the eMachines system, the Inspiron i560-2050NBK might look like a reasonable deal. Hopefully you'll have read this review first, or conducted your own comparison, and will know better.

(Shorter bars indicate better performance)
(Longer bars indicate better performance)
Rendering multiple CPUs | Rendering single CPU |
We find it interesting when PCs with roughly the same specs have noticeable performance variations. We suspect the Dell enjoys a minor edge over the eMachines on our iTunes and Photoshop tests due to its Intel P45 chipset, which is more recent, and allocates less memory to graphics than the eMachines' Nvidia NForce 620i chipset. It's also possible that the eMachines' beefier graphics memory allocation helps propel it slightly past the Dell on our CineBench multithreaded test. In any case, neither systems' performance advantage is large enough to make a dramatic impact on your daily productivity. We can comfortably call the performance comparison a wash between these two PCs. If you're looking for a bit more speed in a low-cost desktop, we'd point you to the Asus Essentio CM5671-05. That system costs $499, $10 more than the Dell, and features both a faster CPU and twice as much hard-drive space.
We'll concede that the Dell can claim its HDMI output as its single material feature advantage over the eMachines. We don't expect many people would willingly connect a midtower PC to a TV in their living room, especially considering the smaller slim tower and Nettop options in the same price range. For that reason, we don't place a premium on HDMI in budget midtowers.

The Vistas are a group of adjoining neighborhoods in Northwest Austin named Vista West, Vista Ridge, and Vista North. Located just east of Loop 360, running along a ridge with Valburn Drive and Valburn Circle, approximately 20 minutes to Downtown Austin. Originally, the land that is now Recoco was the gated estate of Bill Millburn, the developer of the original Vista West neighborhood.
Many families liked to park at the intersection of Valburn Drive and Ladera Norte and watch the fireworks display on July the 4th. Home styles in the area range from mid-century modern to country French to Spanish to classic ranch style homes. Most of the homes in the area were custom built, and many of the mid-century modern homes were designed by local architect Pat Fitzpatrick. Median price, mid 500s. Schools in the neighborhood are ranked amongst some of the best in the city. Doss Elementary was ranked as a blue ribbon school from 1995 to 2010. Murchison Middle School received a score of recognized from this past year's standardized testing, and also is a participant in the IB program, or International Baccalaureate program. Anderson High School is also an IB school and was ranked number 474 in Newsweek's list of best schools in the United States.
The Vistas boast panoramic views of the Hill Country, which overlook the Bull Creek Preserve, stretching for six and a half miles between Highway 2222 and the 360 area. The Bull Creek Preserve additionally provides Bull Creek Park and its extensive hiking trails. The Vistas also back up to the Barrow Preserve, which is temporarily closed to preserve rare plants. The Vistas are in close proximity to tons of shopping, including Northwest Hardware, circa 1971. Don't let the size of this place fool you. It's got tons of hardware, and the service is great, as well as shopping in the arboretum and 360 area with Sachs Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom Rack, with a short drive and newly developed domain shopping center boasts higher end retail and fine dining.
The County Line Barbecue on Lake Austin is a short trip down 222, an Austin staple in traditional Texas barbecue. Or head north to the arboretum for great service, seafood, and steaks. The Vistas are also near other great restaurants such as Mirabelle and Musashino Sushi. The panoramic views of the distant hill country define the Vistas as a distinctly natural northwest Austin neighborhood. Though downtown is only 20 minutes away, wild life are abundant. The Vistas are mere minutes away from major highways, making commutes easy and convenient. Though the Vistas are a smaller neighborhood, there is a real sense of community amongst the residents of the area.

I am losing inches galore, but the scale wont budge, the only way it goes is up.. so for the last 3 weeks i flex between 158 - 162. Only thing I can think is maybe Im not getting enough water?! Maybe I am retaining. Im just confused because I see the changes in my clothes, and body and I cant understand why the scale just wont move. Im about to throw the b**** of the balcony, if I was the type that based my results on the scale soley then I would have given up by now.. 158 is the lowest i can ever get it to go. Meanwhile I am able to where 5/6 now.. and Im 5'4. grrr..sorry I just had to get that out.

Bill Ackman sat in the hair and makeup chair at Bloomberg, waiting for his lieutenants to file in for a quick briefing before he went on the air. He knew what they were going to say and what they needed to hear him say before they'd be comfortable with him getting in front of the camera.
"Now what are you going to do when they ask you about Herbalife, Bill?"
"I'm going to speak about it in a measured tone. I'm going to manage expectations."
"And why are you going to do that?"
"Because even if it's true the company is a fraud, it doesn't mean it's going out of business tomorrow so we shouldn't tell people to expect it, even though… [mumbles something about how he knows it will]…"
"What was that?"
"Okay, and what are you not going to do?"
"I'm not going to give an exact date in the near future when the company is going to explode."
"And I'm not going to use the word 'explode'."
"And I'm not going to say 'If Herbalife doesn't go out of business in the next 365 days, I'll give up solid food and subsist only on their shakes and supplements for a calendar year."
The lieutenants looks at each other and nodded. They weren't 100% sure they could believe him but this was as close as confirmation as they were going to get. And, to be fair, since the incident in July, he'd kept his promise. His promise to them, sure, but also his promise to himself. It's not like he liked doing this. It's not like he wanted to build up expectations re: the demise of Herbalife only to have them fail. But every time he got up on that stage, or in front of a camera, or on the phone with CNBC, something inside him took over and made him blurt out stuff like "Call the coroner, 'cause there's gonna be a murder tomorrow, of the corporate variety" or "Get all the shakes you can now because in a fortnight, they're gonna be gone" or "If Herbalife doesn't go out of business by next week, my name's not William A. Ackman."
He wanted to dial down the enthusiasm. He really did. Read more »

At 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, James Harden was alone in an empty gym shooting.
He wasn't chucking up fadeaway 3-pointers or some half-court hijinks.
SLIDESHOW: View photos from the game
He was working himself around the basket and around the perimeter, trying to regain the shot and swagger which made the Arizona State freshman an offensive force in the season's first three weeks.
Somewhere between last Sunday's ugliness in Nebraska and Wednesday night's tip-off against Delaware State, the freshman's feeling returned. Harden was at ease in the Sun Devils' 77-38 victory at Wells Fargo Arena.
An early lead went down and out fast for the Sun Devils in Nebraska, and though Wednesday doesn't quite make up for that lost game, there's no looking back now.
Harden began the game with a 3-pointer, then followed with a layup and two smooth drives to the basket in the first nine minutes alone.
He kept driving to the basket and hitting 3-pointers, and had a couple of quick-hit dunks in the middle. His 24 points were a season high, and his eight rebounds and three steals were equally welcome.
"I'm not used to losing or being blown out," Harden said. "We did pretty well tonight. (Sunday) was a growing experience."
Film sessions were tough the previous two days, as expected following a 15-point loss which felt worse than that. Players said coach Herb Sendek, as is his style, didn't go overboard once the team returned to Tempe, instead choosing an intense-but-not-boiling demeanor.
"We didn't run 30 miles or anything like that," junior forward Jeff Pendergraph said.
Still, ASU (5-2) responded. Delaware State played most of the second half without leading scorer Roy Bright, who left with an injury, but the night was pretty much over by halftime, if not shortly thereafter. Delaware State shot 21 percent for the game. The Sun Devils were 14-for-17 (82 percent) in the second half.
Jamelle McMillan and Derek Glasser combined for 12 assists and three turnovers.
Pendergraph blocked three shots and Eric Boateng made all five of his shots and blocked two in 15 minutes.
Sendek called Sunday's loss a "disconnect," in which at times the game became "every man for himself," in trying to stem the tide.
The Sun Devils assisted on 25 of 30 field goals and committed seven turnovers.
The Sun Devils said the who-are-we search continues, but they learned they're not a team which sulks for long.
"We couldn't do nothing about it now," Harden said. "We had to move forward."

I am trying to compile a list of nurseries selling edibles. I know of a few, and will list them here, but I would like more options. I tend to like rare/obscure plants especially. If anyone knows of a place selling Rubus chamaemorus (cloudberry, bakeapple), I would be SOOOO grateful. Also, if anyone knows where to buy seeds of edibles, I'd love to know that too! Thanks! ~Robin Nurseries:

Raintree Nursery, which is in southwest Washington state has some excellent plants that grow in all sorts of zones. www.raintreenursery.com I have ordered tons of stuff and plants are great quality - have ordered by mail and visited in person |
Glad to see a good review of Raintree, I've ordered some things for spring delivery. Add StarkBros Nursery to the list. I've used them for 14yr. Aarons in Georgia, has some good prices but alas only offers fall deliveries... |

I want to add my second to rolf's recommendation. Edible Landscaping is awesome! ediblelandscaping.com We went up to the mountains to Afton yesterday for their persimmon festival and sampled different cultivars of wonderful fruit right off the trees during the orchard tour. This fall has been mild so the hardy oriental persimmons (grafted onto American persimmon rootstock) still had their beautiful magnolia-like leaves. When the leaves fall the shiny orange fruit hangs in the bare branches. It's an amazing sight! I've had people come up and knock on the door to ask about my tree. There was persimmon cake and persimmon pudding and persimmon ice cream. In the end I didn't buy the Sheng I had planned on though. I was just bowled over by Dr. Levin's hardy pomegranate. It's already planted in the place I had ready for a third persimmon. |

I am avoiding winter in central NY by renting a house on the FL panhandle till the end of Feb. The weather is driving me crazy - I absolutely have to be out working in the yard, but my yard is 1200 miles away. So in the back yard of my rental house there is a spot that someone used to have a shrub in and that has a little brick border. I'm working on turning that into a little garden that will hopefully survive until I return here next winter. Here are the conditions for the proposed garden: I know something was able to grow there because I dug out the stump of a large shrub that had been cut down. (Don't know which came first - cutting down or dieing.) Would succulents survive, do you think? Or would there not be enough sun for them. I want to keep it low to the ground so it doesn't obstruct the view. Have I just spent half a day preparing a spot where nothing will survive, or is there something that might make it here? Thanks for any suggestions! Becky |

I am 65 year old woman artist, recovering from an illness and I adore 'Miss BG'. She reminds me of myself when I was 8 years old. My best friends were boys, I had a tree house and was active in sports. I tended to get in trouble very much like BG. ... (read more)

A Dos Palos Lion's Club Fundraiser to Help the Air Field
A Dos Palos Lion's Club Fundraiser to Help Eagle Field
Saturday June 21, 2014
Enjoy a fine catered dinner and listen to the sensational 1940's music of the 18-piece Knight Sounds Big Band, all of this in an ambience that takes you back to when this was an active US Army Air Force flight training base.
Folks typically dress semi-formal; but you can put on that old uniform, or wear civilian outfits from the era. Enhancing the wartime feel will be authentically attired re-enactors. The dance contest, which will include some swing dance-club members, is guaranteed to brighten your evening. You will want to bid on an array of antiques and other interesting items at our silent auction.
In 2013 we had a problem with a high water table, which softened the ground and prevented aircraft from coming in. We recently installed nearly two miles of drain pipe that has significantly lowered the water level, meaning the flight line ought to be packed with aircraft. We are expecting a Navy Wildcat fighter as well as many other WWII planes. We understand there may even be an "attack" by a couple of German planes, forcing us to defend ourselves with our trusty fire-breathing anti-aircraft gun and machine guns.
All profits go into a special Lion's Club account dedicated to maintaining and improving Eagle Field. This year we will continue stucco work on the barracks and repair the roofs (a constant thing), and hopefully repair and extend the runway. The Lion's Club has helped to make Eagle Field a community effort, and your attendance at this dinner and other events, such as the vintage drag races, are what keeps the dream alive. WE NEED YOU!!
Former Eagle Field Cadets, Eagle Field workers and other World War II Veterans and Families are encouraged to meet in the Administration Building Museum at 1:00 PM on Saturday for snacks and conversation. The Museum will be closed to other visitors during this meeting. Please let us know if you plan to this attend.
For those who want to come early and hangout, Hot Dogs, Burgers, Nachos and Liquid Refreshments will be available at the Enlisted Men's Canteen starting at noon!
Sunday June 22, 2014
The Lion's Club breakfast starts at 8 AM and goes until 10 AM. There will be time for you to enjoy visiting the re-enactor groups and the museum, and you'll want to watch the departing aircraft. Sunday is low key and the perfect way to top off the weekend. Food will again be available at the Canteen around noon.

RVs are welcome to come in Thursday, but we may put you to work! If you plan to use a generator, please try to park in such a way as to minimize disturbance of others. If you park with your windows facing northwest you will get a good breeze at night to cool things down a bit.
The drag races we have every May and October have worked out very well and the monies earned are going into Eagle Field projects. It has not worked out perfectly, as we have had some lousy rain at some of the races, meaning attendance was way down. And, we had to spend a lot of money upfront to repair the runway for drag cars (Which is also good for airplanes!). We also had to purchased grandstands, which required a total overhaul in order for them to be safe, therefore we have not put much money in the bank as of yet. But, it is very promising and we did make some money on the most recent race.
Rocky Phillips, of Fresno, is the primary person responsible for bringing the races to Eagle Field. They are like races of the fifties and early sixties, and it really takes you back in time to see the old 32 Ford type hotrods blazing down the runway. For safety purposes we keep to the speeds down a bit by running only an eight of a mile track, versus the quarter mile they do at larger venues. Our intent is to keep the races smallish and simple, as we are not trying to compete with the big boys. Of all the hundreds of drag races held throughout the USA every year, we are proud to say that Hot Rod Magazine, the bible of hot rod folks, chose to feature the Eagle Field Drags in some of their issues.
We just had the May 19/20 races, which were very well organized, the weather was perfect, mostly the cars were old school and there was a lot of down home fun to be had! And, we got the first chance to use our newly rebuilt and very comfortable grandstands. The rebuilding of these grandstands was a major undertaking by mostly drag race volunteers. If we ever have a real airshow at Eagle, these stands will be perfect.
On Saturday we had our flamboyant flagman starter, with the old school racing concept of seeing who could get to the finish line first, with no timing….just whoever finished first was the winner. On Sunday we had the more modern "Christmas Tree" starter, with lights to indicate GO, and there was timing in place for elapsed time and speed. There must have been sixty to eighty RVs, lots of pop up tents along the raceway and many different kinds of food. There was a very festive and fair-like atmosphere, with the music of racing motors in the background.
It takes a lot of volunteers make these races happen, and Rocky brings in his merry band to set up the concrete safety barriers, to put up the hundreds of delineators, to get spectators in the gate, to get the cars parked, to do the safety tech inspections and to handle getting the race cars up to the starting line to run, safely off the track and then back around to run again. Of course, some of the Eagle Field volunteers assure that the grounds are prepared; they help with race car registration and keep the place clean. Once the races are over everything must be put away, so it is a very big job, everyone is wiped out afterwards, but it's all fun nonetheless.
We had American Ambulance on hand, and Mark Jones and the rest of the Eagle Field firefighter crew did an excellent job responding to a car fire on Sunday the 20th. Both fire engines were on the fire very quickly and saved the car from burning to the ground. After trying to get his fire extinguisher to work, the driver bailed out of the car unscathed. The crowd took up a sizable collection to help pay for repairs to the car….pretty heartwarming to see.
We have noticed that the race car folks are very interested in the military history of Eagle Field and it is nice to see the race fans fill the museum during these events, and to see them taking pictures of their race cars taken in front of the old Harpoon, the Stuart Tank, the Huey and other artifacts.
We wish to thank the volunteers, who helped with the races, and I must stress that these races could not happen without them, they are the backbone to our success. We wish to give a special thanks to Keith Blades of Fresno, owner of KBK, for the seemingly magical dust control material he donates and applies to our fine-particle clay soil to keep the place pretty much dust-free during events. Keith continues to help us with dust control for both the races and our fly-in, and without his support we could not afford this high level of dust control. Keith himself comes out to supervise the application of the non-petrol based material, he puts it on heavy and it is very effective.
Last but not least, we had a two showings of "Duece of Spades", an American Graffiti type film produced, directed and acted in by Faith Granger. This lady put together a darn good film, which featured some of the hotrod legends. She is currently touring the USA with her RV and a genuine 32 Ford Hotrod.
Keep an eye on our website for details of our upcoming race on October 6, 2012.
Old Airfield Drag Racing – Deja Views
How Post-Postwar Hot Rodders Are Rediscovering Abandoned Airfields
From the November, 2010 issue of Hot Rod
By Dave Wallace

Eagle Field 11100 West Eagle Ave. Firebaugh, CA. 93622
With the war already raging in Europe, and tensions building in the Pacific, the United States War Department began contracting with civilian flight schools to train pilots for the U.S. Army. Coast Aviation of Palo Alto Cal was one such operator. The principle owners were Harry White, Lex Ehrman and Dick Hyde. They started a school called Mesa Del Rey in King City Cal. in March 1941, and with the entry of the United States into the war, they obtained a contract to build an additional airport and flight school in order to fill the War Departments need for pilots.
A broad, flat desert plain 10 miles south of Dos Palos was chosen as the site for this second facility. This training facility would be called Eagle Field. The ground breaking ceremony was on March 12, 1942 and construction began immediately.
With construction still underway, the first cadet pilots arrived by train from Santa Ana at the railroad station in South Dos Palos, Ca. in June of 1942. They rode to their brand new base on a tram that was used for the 1939 Worlds Fair held on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay.
In time there was steam heat and air conditioning in the barracks and offices. A soda fountain, bowling alley, landscaping and a recreation hall made Eagle Field the country club of training bases.
Only a few employees other than the cadets were actually in the Army. The others were civilians working for the contracting corporation. This included the flight instructors who wore regulation Army uniforms and had to march in drill. The civilians worked as mechanics, cooks, gardeners, office workers, fuelers, base security and many other jobs needed to make the base function. Hundreds of people from the local area and from out of town found good jobs and enjoyed working here. It was what they could do to support the war effort.
Ryan PT-22s were the first planes used for training. Cadets were expected to solo after a maximum of 10 hours of dual instruction. If they "washed out" they went back to the walking Army (talk about motivation!). If they succeeded they went on to two more levels of flight training before they were introduced to ACTUAL combat overseas.
As the Allies gained the upper hand in the war effort and enough student pilots were in the pipeline the training contracts were canceled. King City was closed in August 1944 with some personnel transferred to Eagle Field. In December 1944 Eagle Field saw her last cadets. Actual operations lasted 30 months. In those 30 months approximately 5000 pilots graduated from primary training with the loss of only three lives due to accidents. This is considered an excellent record.
Each class held graduation ceremonies and a dance in one of the hangars. Some of the top name bands came to Dos Palos for those dances. The base was used right after the war as an aircraft storage depot and then for many years as a crop duster facility. After the war the city of Dos Palos was to develop Eagle Field as a municipal airport but they failed in their effort. The property reverted to the federal government. In 1980 it was put up for auction. The largest parcel, consisting of both large hangars, runway, administration building, the remaining barracks and the hospital was bought by Mr. Joe Davis of Fresno, California. He has always had a vision of restoring a WWII airfield out of respect for the men and women who won the war, making a home for vintage aircraft and vehicles and giving both their place in history.
]]>The fellows that put out this class-book are understating guys and they knew that you and the family would like to see just what a "flying gadget" does that keeps him so busy he can't write. So here is the story in pictures and it's actually dedicated to all of you.
Life at the "County Club" has its good and bad points. No one is ever ready to get up when Reveille blasts over the loud speaker system; it's a mystery to all of us how we stay so healthy on the sleep we get. From then on it's the old Army System of line up and wait. We line up for the latrine, for chow, for solo ships, and to get paid. It is rumored that the reason we are signed up for the duration and six months, is that they figure we will have to stand in line six months to get our discharges after the war is over.
After chow in the morning, back we go to clean the place up. (Take a look at that.) It is statistically proven that housemaid's knee is a prevalent in this branch of the service as athlete's foot.
Then off we go to the wild instructors yonder (on the flight line). Incidentally, my instructor told me yesterday that he was sure I would get my wings, but that if I didn't improve it would probably be in heaven. However, I am sure that I am improving some, as he used to climb out of the plane and look at me, shake his head and make funny noises; now he just looks at me and shakes his head.
It is the same with my Link Trainer Instructor. Every time they band me a yellow slip for an hour ride in one of those "clipped wing jobs." I plod wearily up to Link No. 5 and the operator nonchalantly calls out " Hey Tex! You don't have to look any further, here is that Missing Link." Honest to gosh, some people's idea of humor is disgusting. It is good training, though, as we learn to keep our eyes on the instruments, although I don't know what else we would do as they put the hood over you and there isn't anything else to see. We get five hours of "Link" and it is real work for an hour at a time. Then dizzily back to the flight line. To a casual observer seeing us sitting around waiting for our ships, it looks like we lead a pretty easy life, but just let them wrestle one of those Pt-22's around for a couple of hours and they will get back to the ship-yards in nothing flat.
Our first impression was that the instructors had it soft, only working a few hours each day, but now we know better and really appreciate their job. It sure is great to be an upperclassman and not have to walk wing tips any more. For Sis's benefit I will say that "Wing Tips" is not the post mascot (do you think it is too corny?). You really don't have to worry about me, Mom.
Maintenance rules are extremely strict, as are air discipline rules. They teach us the precautionary measures for each maneuver as we lean the maneuver. This is a perfectly clear procedure to us. Some times our instructors are a little sarcastic. Mine delights in cracking wise as we land with some remark like "Well, how deep are your going to bury us this time?" Then there is the constant worry about check rides; we get them on out 13th, 25th, 45th and 50 hour, if we get that far. Not to be omitted is the cross county hop. It is supposed to be a direct trip to and from a near city, but the guy that thought up the name " Cross County" for it was a genius. They pick the cadets out of the trees for miles around.
Then when the planes are all down and accounted for, back we got to the ground school and drill, etc. Oh me, oh my! I almost forgot about noon chow. As you can tell from the photo, we are all underfed, as we get all the milk we want and as much food as we can eat. They even vie with you on real "home treats." Naturally, Maw, it isn't like home, but it's pretty darn close. Now we'll cover ground school. We take engines, weather, navigation, theory of flight, and identification/ After the first class we are allowed to smoke outside of the ground school' that is the only place on the post we can smoke outside. That boy Captain Smith thinks of everything. We only ho to school two hours a day. Ground school splits a half a day with physical training. P.T. is one course I would like take from the Special Service Dept. by correspondence. At last the day is over and back we go to the barracks and then showers. My idea of solid comfort is a nice soft bed with a built-in shower at the same time. It is in the showers that all of the choicest latrine rumors are heard. I never could figure out why the Associated Press of bothers sending reports all over the world. They can pick up any angle, from the personal life of the mosquito to the next place the Allied nations will attack by just sticking around the average army latrine.
Now we proceed to retreat, which officially ends the day. After that it is chow again and we are on our own. You can see that we have recreation provided. Pool tables, ping-pong tables, bowling alleys. We can also get ice cream, candy or food at the PX as well as any of the million things we need. The kids that are married get to visit their wives in the lounge for an hour. The guy and the gal in front of the door in the picture are just saying good night. This is one post where wives are welcome. Captain Smith says they are really good workers on the maintenance link as each wife has the idea that her husband may fly the plane she is working on and really does a good job.
In the barracks the rumors fly thick and fast, but are usually nosed out at this period by the lusty roar of hangar flying. If some of the kids in my bay could fly as good in a Pt as they do on the bay at night, they would be in advanced by now. Of course we tell each other our mistakes too. One H.P. in our barracks followed a house trailer all over the countryside before he discovered it wasn't the white house we use for a rendezvous point. When we get down in our studies we have to go to supervised study at night school. Some, yes a few, who don't have to study or are too restless to sleep, even write letters. All soldiers have a one-way outlook on the postal system. They can hardly wait to get letters and they can never get around to writing them. Guess this should give you an idea of what we do and how we do it. I will write you from Basic. Love to all the family.

]]>Eagle Field was used as a set location for the 2008 movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Eagle Field's original Administration Building played the part of the airport terminal at Nazca, Peru, in 1957. Along with the building, the set was decorated with many of Eagle Field's vintage vehicles. Set decorators spent a week getting the scene ready, building a Peruvian market, using several truck loads of props including live goats and chickens.
For the filming an Antonov An-2 aircraft wearing the colors of Pan American Airways was flown in for the scene which included dropping Indiana (Harrison Ford) and his son Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) at the airport terminal. Harrison and Shia were on site for filming as well as the director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas.
Harrison Ford piloted a Cessna 208 Caravan landing at Eagle Field for the filming. As this was the last day of shooting for the film, the cast and crew stayed after for a wrap party and BBQ following the filming. Mr. Spielberg who many know to be a WWII history buff was interested in looking around the Field. Volunteer Jim Bertao was happy to give him a guided tour of the museum.
Location scouts for the film as with as the Fresno County Film Commission have told us that Eagle Field worked well as a location and that they would keep it live as a potential filming locations for future projects.

Pokémon X and Y are so popular. People here scurry to the forum about it all the time, but that doesn't surprise me. What does, is the fact that it's popular at my school. It's what almost everyone's talking about. When the students are done with what they need to be doing (and sometimes even when they're not done), that's the thing to talk about. Everyone knows about the three starters, and Xerneas and Yveltal. How this happened is a mystery because everyone there doesn't seem to care about Pokémon much.

wow GTA 5 is gonna be awesome gta 3 is good vice city is good but i dont like gta 4 those who dont like it like me comment
Cant wait to parachute from the mountain, or the tallest building.. i might even go looking for Bigfoot for 13 - 17 hours... LOL !
Who is the main protagonst it's driving me crazy!!. I just hope he's good and i hope they can top Niko Bellic because Niko was badass, my personal favourite GTA Character hands down, well at least until GTA 5 comes out lol.
Imagin the massacre if this really anticipated trailer, was Rockstar Rick Rolling everybody :D haha !
Vice City was better than GTA 3 in some ways but San Andreas really was the big deal, Rockstar making the best they could with the PS2.I think the fact that they jump to this one is telling us that they were ready for the next giant step.
airplanes are back? and it's at san andreas?! i see enough reason to buy this. i hope CJ and the gang have a role in the game. big chance they do but dont know for sure.
Well i suppose we can't be disappointed if CJ isnt in the main story Rockstar can always make a dlc :P
@NV916 what are you talking about? Gamespot cut off the last 700 words of that thing. too bad, because i actually was pretty happy with it. though not enough to re-write it....
It's about time we see a new GTA. I don't care what anyone says, 4 was an awesome game. It was nice to step away from SA's "gangsta" vibe. I grew up in that kinda area and don't find it very fun to play as the same thugs I had to watch out for as a kid. It should be nice to be able to enjoy San Andreas this time around. Looks like another hit from R*. I can't wait. Hopefully they bring back some of SA's roleplaying elements though.
Basically, if the title was GTA 4: SA, there would be no doubters. Considering Rockstar's development history with the franchise, I'm surprised they put the "5" on this one. It makes me wonder if they have something up their sleeves.
Am I the only one in the world not wettin my pants. I mean, from this point it just looks like another GTA. I hate to be a skeptic but the only thing that intrigued me was the mountains because that's something we've never seen in this series. Still waiting for something to blow me away. I guess my only question would be how they're going to implement C.J. in the story, because you know it's going to happen.
also release it for new coming console WII U , and Nvidia New coming cards codenamed "Kepler".
If not released for the best way to play a game (see: pc) then i hope it gets pirated so hard and flop in retail.
They may not have confirmed a PC version yet but I'm sure they will soon. Just don't see them not releasing on PC.
Set in San Andreas it should include los santos, san fierro and las venturas, with mountains, desert, etc..thats good news because to me GTASA is the best game ever made. Hopefully we will get all the airports with flyable aircraft, nice RPG elements, many weapons and vehicles, including the flame thrower, gatling gun, harrier jump jet, apache gunship, m1 battletank etc..just like it was in GTASA..why cut out the best stuff?...I still play GTASA in my PC, I hope this lives up to that benchmark they set themselves..counting on you ROCKSTAR
@notorious98 yah true that. i remeber being a lil imature kid playing that. Lol i guess it wont hurt to go check this game out. see how different it looks with the new graphics and everything.
San Andreas was my favorite and I love the return there. I don't need a new city as opposed to a new storyline. This trailer makes the game look like it will be amazing, graphically speaking. The only thing I ask is for there to be more to do than GTA4, along with better gameplay, and a better story. Also, I'd like to have more intriguing characters. GTA4's characters, for the most part, were absurdly boring. On the other hand, I loved Luis' campaign from the second DLC.
@Kag359six Phil Cassidy, Ken Rosenberg and Salvatore Leone were characters from other games in the series and reappeared. Claude was a playable character resurfaced in San Andreas. who knows? Rockstar likes to do this. I think this would be interesting to interact with the characters
I hope they made this trailer just to see what feedback it will have. Not soooo bad, but some things they have to change. Better than LC i thing. This adds some variety.
If this trailer showed proper gameplay environments on top of the assumed scope / vast environments of the first SA, then my mind is friggin blown to bits! Teeny tiny BITS! My only qualm is that I wished they did something else rather than NY or LA. Either London, Amsterdam, or even somewhere imagined would've been fresh.
make the best gta ever with the best graphics for pc. There is no way consoles could hold them.
OMG epic graphics, a mixture of vice city, san andreas and gta 4, :O If they really make the graphics as good as in this video, the game's awesomeness will know no boundaries I am still not sure whether the playstation 3 system will support these graphics to their max -.-
if u look at the time it took 4 gtaIV to releas from the first trailer to the releas date it was bout a year n it will proly b the same here may b a lil shorter, also i wander if grove st crew ballers ect.. will b bak.
Pretty sure the guy holding the will work for food sign is the character from GTA4. LOL

Chris Froome: Tour winner is Britain's unlikely new hero
After so many years of betrayals and drugs revelations, the winner of the first Tour de France since the Lance Armstrong doping scandal was always going to be greeted with a mix of cynicism and celebration.
From the moment Chris Froome claimed the yellow jersey after stage eight, he has faced difficult questions about his extraordinary performances.
Trust is in such short supply that it's inevitable the alarm bells will start ringing every time a new rider emerges as a dominant force in cycling's toughest race.
The French newspaper Liberation ran a front page last Thursday posing the question: "Le Tour du doute - miracle ou mystification?"
"I understand where the scepticism is coming from and why people have doubts... But I really think cycling has turned a new page."
Tour de France winner, Chris Froome
L'Equipe, the sports newspaper, was equally sceptical.
"Froome naturellement" was the headline the day after the 28-year-old had destroyed his rivals during the ascent of Mont Ventoux.
Even when there is nothing to hide, sport's first reaction to scrutiny is often to run for cover. But throughout it all, Team Sky have refused to duck the issue.
In a shrewd move they handed over details of blood profiles and results to L'Equipe's anti-doping expert who concluded the performances were plausible without drugs.
They also invited David Walsh, the Sunday Times journalist who pursued Lance Armstrong for a decade, into the camp here, giving him access to the team's sports scientists, coaches and riders. Yesterday he concluded that those who dismissed his doping allegations about Armstrong were as wrong as those who doubted Froome and Team Sky.
I put to Froome questions about the subject in Paris on Monday - questions which he has been fielding all Tour. At no stage did he bristle or try and avoid them.
He told me: "I understand where the scepticism is coming from and why people have doubts. It is really sad for us to have to answer these questions when we've worked extremely hard to get here.
"But I really think cycling has turned a new page. That was 10 years ago and it was a completely different era when all that was going on."
Having been burned so many times, the questions will probably never go away.
"Some people will never believe," he added. "We will just have to accept that because they have been betrayed in the past. But I know what I'm doing."
Cycling experts say they are increasingly confident about the state of professional cycling. Unlike Tours in the doping years, the top riders had good and bad days. Even though Froome dominated the race, he was not invincible.
In many ways, the Kenyan-born cyclist is an unlikely new hero for British sport.
He lacks the swagger of Sir Bradley Wiggins, who won the Tour last year, and while totally at ease in the spotlight, Froome doesn't seem to crave it.
His girlfriend Michelle Cound says he doesn't like to drink much and rather than jet off for a long holiday now the race is over, he is actually heading to Belgium to race some 100km circuits. "It's a good way of getting the Tour out of my legs," he said.
Froome inspires his team-mates through actions rather than words. It was his idea to join arms with his colleagues as he crossed the finish line. And he gave away all except the last of his 13 yellow jerseys - awarded after each stage in which he finished the leader.
And yet he wasn't afraid to show the more steely side of his personality during the debate about whether he or Wiggins should be Team Sky's lead rider.
Despite Wiggins claiming he may have raced his last Tour de France, that discussion has already begun with team principal Sir Dave Brailsford saying he wants Wiggins back in the team next year.
British cycling - and British sport - is lucky to be burdened with such a problem.

24th July 2013 - 15:17#26 baggyone: As great as Porte is (and everyone else on that team), I would rate Geraint Thomas above him. Riding with a cracked pelvis since day 2, pulling CF up the mountains for kilometer after kilometer on the penultimate stage, there is a real hero for us. And he didn't get a decent article on any British rag. Shameful that.
But Froomie is great! -

24th July 2013 - 14:56#76 jw4ever: I assume that David Bond's knowledge of French (same with German) is poor. This happens to most, if not all British. So he may not have understood the French article properly. I know an Englishman who has a 1/1 in French from Oxford but his French is lousy. So we may have to forgive David Bond for his shortcomings.

24th July 2013 - 14:46In my middle teens, I was a below average sportsman (athletics) at school. So I decided to train, joined the sports club and got coached, how to improve on my own. The following year I was not only the best sprinter in class, but in school. Amazement all round, questions. The simple answer was "training training training". No drugs. As with Froome.

24th July 2013 - 9:37David, I reluctantly read this article after your lamentable interview with Mark Cavendish after the Olympic cycle race. The article is much better than I thought, although, not sure that your comparison of CF to BW re revelling in the spotlight is correct.

Most people may see pancakes as a delicious flat cake that we devour with some syrup, but did you know that it has some religious significance to it? Shrove Tuesday, or known as Pancake Day, uses pancakes to celebrate the last day of Carnival, Mardi Gras and preceding Lent. Pancakes are usually associated with Shrove Tuesday because it was a way for people to give up certain foods like eggs, milk, flour and sugar for Lent.
It was during the peak of the civil rights movement that the cultural holiday of Kwanza was born. Unlike other similar holidays such as Hanukah and Christmas, Kwanzaa is not based upon religious association. This holiday was created to celebrate the life and the heritage of African culture seen in African and Pan African communities around the world.
The Jewish celebration of Hanukah is often associated with the Christian holiday of Christmas, but that association has little to do with the significance of each holiday and more to do with the timing. Each is celebrated at the end of the year when the holiday season has hit full swing. But much like the story of Christmas, the story of Hanukah is a rich one.

Living Way Worship Center International is celebrating their one-year anniversary at their new location on 4051 Highway 81 south and invites the community to join in the special activities this weekend.

At age 91, Covington resident Lovic Cyril Warren Jr. says in retrospect that his greatest accomplishment was preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. After his wife passed in 2003, Warren began to seek God's purpose for his golden years. When his eyesight weakened due to Macular Degeneration, Warren discontinued preaching and teaching Sunday School. He prayed this prayer, "Lord, I can't hear much better than I can see and I can't drive an automobile. You know how old I am - there must be something I can do for you."

Next month will mark the 129th anniversary of Sims Chapel Baptist Church. In the early years, the brush harbor ministry was known as Series Baptist Church. The Sims family donated property on Highway 142 in Covington and the name changed to Sims Chapel. The church has survived and thrived over the years as its people gave sacrificially.
Since 1874, the New Rocky Creek Baptist Church has continued to serve the Newton, Jasper, Butts and Putnam County area. Their mission is to exalt the Savior, equip the saints and evangelize the sinner. The 12-acre campus houses the original structure, an educational building and a multi-purpose building with eight classrooms, a nursery, fellowship hall and sanctuary. A family life center was dedicated in June, debt free.
The Rev. Canon Father Randall Allen will be installed as the third Archdeacon of the Mid-South Diocese by the Rev. W. David Epps, Bishop of the Mid-South Diocese.

It can work if the small plates aren't so small that they can't be shared. I'm looking forward to trying the new restaurant that will be in there.

drop down menu.. plz read
Hello All!
Ok this is what I want to do..
I have a drop down menu on my site right. But I want the options of it to be controlled from a mySQL database.
I want it so u can have a text field in the database and that creates the options for the menu. So on each line of the text field the admin could place a:
<option value="home.html" frameload="main">- go home</option>
and then the php script would pick up the options 1 per line?
I hope i explained this right?!
Can anybody help?
First, Create a table like this:
Name | Link | OrderId
With just 3 Columns.
Name: The link name,
Link: The address to goto when clicked,
OrderId: The ordernum of the items.
Call the table links
Now, for your code:
Hope this helps you.PHP Code:
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("dbname", $db);
$get_links = "SELECT * FROM `links` ORDER BY `OrderId` ASC";
// You have an option here, the word ASC will order the items in ascending order by OrderId, so 1 would be at the top.
// Or you can replace it with DESC, which would keep the highest item number at the top, so eg: 10 would be at the top, 1 at the bottom.
$links = mysql_query($get_links);
// You can use for or while here, I will use while.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($links))
echo '<option value="'.$row["Link"].'" frameload="main">'.$row["Name"].'</option>';

Understanding the Offer Process
By Mark Nash
Article highlights:
- Drafting the purchase contract
- Price bidding and best offers
- Engaging in a bidding war
Making an offer on the home you want can be like asking that girl or boy you had a secret crush on in high school for a date — intimidating. Although there's little risk of making a fool of yourself during the bidding-process, you should play your cards right before you tip your hand. That way you can emerge the lucky buyer who got the most home for his buck.
Once you've decided on the home you want to buy, your real estate agent or attorney will draft a purchase offer or contract in your name, which he or she submits to the seller's agent, attorney or directly to the seller (if the home is a For Sale By Owner). The seller can respond in one of three ways: accept the offer, counter it with a higher asking price or reject it.
Below-price bidding
Bidding for a property below its asking price is almost par for the course during what's called a "buyer's market." When there's a glut of houses or condos on the market, for which there are not enough buyers, a prospective buyer can confidently try to skim 10 percent off the asking price off the property. But if you bid 20 percent below what a seller wants, you may be out of luck. Many experts advise against subtracting more than 10 percent from the owner's asking price. However, you can sweeten a relatively low offer price by guaranteeing the seller a quick closing and a large earnest-money deposit. Or, if you accept the present state of the home without demanding free upgrades, you could sway the owner in your favor over other bidders.
Highest and best offer
Sometimes sellers or their agents get restless during negotiations and ask you to quote them your highest and best offer for the home. Don't go out on a limb if you are not 100 percent sure you want this particular property. You can always reconsider if you feel you made a mistake, after comparing other properties to the one that forced you to make a blind bet on its value.
Full price offers
There's no shame in agreeing to pay the seller's full asking price without bartering. If the home you're pining for is worth its price tag and you really want it, offer to pay the full asking price. Do you want to see your dream home slip through your hands because you want to pay $1,000 less for it? Another buyer may show up five minutes after you, eager to pay that difference.
Bidding wars
Engaging in a bidding war for a property with other interested buyers is not for the faint of heart. Be warned that you may end up paying too much for that dream home and regretting it. As one of an unknown number of rivals in a bidding war, you're competing against each other blindfolded. Neither you nor your agent will know how many offers the seller has on the table, because real estate license laws allow listing agents to keep such information confidential in the seller's interest.
You may end up having to cough up a lot of extra cash for the down payment, if you're the winner with the highest bid. Instead, you could keep your cool and stay off the multiple offer- and counteroffer-carousel. Sometimes, all rivals for your dream home may throw in their towels and call the bidding war quits. Who knows, the seller may then come knocking at your (old) door to ask you to submit your purchasing offer. In that case, you'll end up the real winner, possibly holding the power to barter with the seller for a lower purchase price.
At all stages of the buying process, keep a written record of negotiations between you and the seller, as well as changes to agreements made with any involved parties. In the heat of the home buying process, you may not remember that you wanted the seller to throw in his basement refrigerator, or check on the size and location of your high-rise condo's storage unit.

Kenwood's 2013 double-DIN sized CD receivers let you replace your factory stereo without creating a pocket in your dash. They're stylish, sound great, and give you some handy features not found in your factory deck.
Kicker's Front Row digital signal processor puts your music where it should be: right up in front of you, instead of down around your knees. A wired remote control panel lets you center the music to your listening position, add bass, and engage a simulated 5.1 Surround Sound that makes it seem like you're sitting in the front row.

Just because you can't replace the radio doesn't mean you can't improve your car's audio. Brent P, who works in Crutchfield's IT department, boosted his 2007 Saab 9-3 wagon's sound and functionality without installing a new receiver.
Adding an amplifier to your car audio system doesn't just make it louder - it makes every instrument sound clearer, it makes subs hit harder, and helps raise your soundstage to head level. Check out this overview of a typical installation to see the steps involved when you install an amplifier in your vehicle.
Russ, a Crutchfield employee, didn't like the lack of bass and poor high-frequency clarity in the "premium" system of his 2008 BMW 335i. He decided to try the Focal IFBMW-S and IFBMW-C custom-fit speakers, designed specifically for his BMW.

Clarion's XC1410 4-channel amp delivers 50 watts RMS per channel from a chassis that's about as long and wide as a dollar bill. This micro-sized amp can fit almost anywhere, even behind many dashboards. And Clarion managed to pack more watts per square inch inside the XC1410 than almost any other 4-channel amp made.
