after launching
How long after putting the boat (fiber glass sailboat) does one have to wait to go out and sail it? The mechanic says 24 hours and our training officer says two weeks. The latter seems excessive.
Re: after launching
What was done to the boat that they are giving you this time frame. You have not provided enough information.
Re: after launching
Did you get this advice on April 1st by any chance? Seriously, wooden boats need some time to swell-up to stop leaks. O/W I can't imagine any repairs that would require waiting with the boat in the water.
Re: after launching
I found a little pill on the kitchen floor. It's round with a line across it.
Should I take it?
Re: after launching
You should only wait about as long as it takes the ice to chill the beer which, if you were a true sailor, would already be cold.
s/v KIVALO
Re: after launching
I suppose the packing in a stuffing box might take a little while to swell up. Would it melt the wax if it was dry?
Re: after launching
Is it a wooden fiberglass boat by chance?

Plant and animal life
Because of the steep gradient and the exposure of limestone, wasteland accounts for nearly half of the total area. Yet part of the province's natural wealth lies in its forests. The plateau surface is mostly dry and barren, but the peripheral valleys have rich and valuable woodlands. About one-tenth of the land area is under natural forest. There are four main forested areas: the drainage basins of the Qingshui River in the east, the Duliu River in the southeast, the Nanpan and Beipan rivers in the southwest, and the Dalou Mountains in the north.
Guizhou has more than 3,860 species of wild plants, among which are several that are highly valued herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine. Notable are the tubers of Gastrodia elata, the bark of the elmlike Eucommia ulmoides, the roots of Coptis chinensis (Chinese goldthread) and Astragalus membranaceus (milk vetch), and the fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa (Evodia fruit). Collectively, these are known as the five famous herbs of Chinese medicine.
The forests of the northern valleys, still among the most important in China, consist chiefly of conifers and other trees, such as the tung tree, lacquer tree, camellia, birch, maple, pine, and fir. Forests in the southeast produce camphor, banyan tree, and other broad-leaved varieties. Trees of the southern subtropical valleys typically include willow, cedar, bamboo, and various species of pine and fir. Oak, Yunnan pine, Huashan pine, and camphor are grown in the west near Yunnan. Cedar, cypress, poplar, and palm trees are also found in the province.
In addition to domesticated animals, such as buffalo, horses, donkeys, asses, and pigs, the province has more than 1,000 species of wild animals, some three dozen of which are rare or endangered. Notable mammals include leopards, otters, foxes, badgers, tigers, and squirrels. In most of the larger rivers carp and other fish are abundant.
Population composition
About three-fifths of the province's population is Han (Chinese). Members of the more than 40 non-Han ethnic minority groups account for the remainder. Among the most important minority groups are the Hmong (known in China as the Miao), the Buyi, the Yi (also known as the Lolo), the Dong, the Shui, the Mien (known as the Yao in China), and the Zhuang. All of the minority groups intermingle with Han people. Only at the low xiang, or village, level can one find any exclusive ethnic grouping. Generally, few minority people live in northern Guizhou, particularly in areas north of the Wu River. The Miao are mainly found in southeastern Guizhou, especially in the drainage area of Qingshui River and in the Miao Mountains. Most of the Buyi live in south-central and southwestern Guizhou in the Pan River drainage area, including the suburbs of Guiyang. The Dong are found mainly in the southeastern areas adjacent to Hunan and the Zhuang Autonomous Region of Guangxi. The Shui are concentrated in southern Guizhou, around Sandu and Libo, while the Yi, who once were rulers of this frontier region, are scattered in western Guizhou. The Hui (Chinese Muslims) in Guizhou migrated there from Yunnan in the late Qing dynasty (1644–1911/12) after the defeat of a local rebellion. They are found chiefly in towns and cities along the main lines of communication in western and southern Guizhou, especially in Weining.
Chinese is the common language of the Han and the Hui in Guizhou, Mandarin being spoken almost exclusively by the former group. Among the minority groups, the languages of the Buyi, Shui, Dong, and Zhuang are Tai languages. Those of the Miao and the Yao belong to the Hmong-Mien (Miao-Yao) family, and that of the Yi to the Tibeto-Burman group.
Settlement patterns
Most of the population is rural, and agriculture is the chief occupation. Rice cultivators dominate the peripheral valleys of the plateau. On the plateau itself, the Miao practice subsistence agriculture, growing upland crops. Most of the Buyi live on level lands in the valleys and cultivate rice. While the Dong are experienced lowland rice cultivators, they are also skillful in forestry and in growing upland crops. The Shui, living together in large families and tribes, are rice cultivators as well. In addition to growing upland crops, the Yi undertake animal husbandry.
There are few cities in Guizhou. Guiyang is the most important, although larger and more populous is Liupanshui, a municipality created by combining the Liuzhi, Panxian, and Shuicheng special districts in Guizhou's coal-rich western area. Most of the other cities are the seats of government and are the economic and communications centres for the various regions of the province.
Most of the cultivated area of Guizhou is under grain crops, the most important of which is rice. Corn (maize) is grown chiefly in eastern Guizhou. Other food crops include wheat, barley, sweet potatoes, potatoes, oats, and broad beans. Increasingly more of the cultivated area is under industrial crops, of which the most important is rapeseed, followed by tobacco, peanuts (groundnuts), sugarcane, jute, tea, sugar beets, hemp, and sesame. Guizhou is also known for its production of maotai liquor, made from wheat and kaoliang (a variety of grain sorghum).
Timber and other forestry products are plentiful. Guizhou ranks among the leading provinces in the production of raw lacquer and tung oil. Other important forestry products include camellia oil, cypress oil, gallnut extract, lichens, and various medicinal herbs.
Resources and power
Guizhou has rich mineral resources. Its most widespread metallic mineral is mercury, reserves of which are large; there are also small deposits of manganese, zinc, lead, antimony, aluminum, copper, iron, and gold. Nonmetallic minerals include coal, oil shale, phosphate, gypsum, arsenic, limestone, and fluorite. Extractive industries are consequently very important in Guizhou.
Electric-power generation is a major component of Guizhou's economy. Although most is generated at coal-fired thermal plants, the province's abundant water resources have been used to develop a number of hydroelectric facilities. Much of the power output is exported to Guangdong province.

Despite extending the lead to 85 runs, the ongoing fourth cricket Test between India and England is "nicely poised", feels England's middle-order mainstay Ian Bell.
Bell, who scored 58 in England's unfinished first innings total of 237 for six at the end of rain-hit day two yesterday, also had words of appreciation for the Old Trafford wicket, which according him is the "best" of the season.
"It (match) certainly is poised very nicely. Hopefully tomorrow we can get past the 100-run lead maybe get 150 runs ahead if we can. That will put us in a nice position," Bell said. "So far this has been a nice Test match, probably the best cricket wicket we have had all season. It has good pace, good for batsmen and bowlers alike," he said after nearly two sessions were washed out by rain yesterday.
The batsman was full of praise for young India paceman Varun Aaron, who has figures of 3/48 so far in his first Test of the series.
"He bowled well obviously to pick those wickets. He has a bit of pace and he has used it on this pitch. He is really complimenting Bhuvneshwar Kumar at the moment and the Indian attack looks well balanced in this match with the two spinners in there as well," Bell said.

Models To Predict Scientists' Future Impact Often Fail
Models universities partially use to forecast scientists' future contributions are not as reliable as previously thought. In a recent study, Aalto University and IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca researchers demonstrate mathematical analysis of past performance cannot reliably determine the future performance. This means that current models dangerously overestimate the predictability and should not be used for career advancement decision process.
"Based on our results, the predictability of current models for real application in recruitment decisions is questionable. Efforts to model future impact need to be aimed more directly at applications in the career advancement decision process," says Professor Santo Fortunato from Aalto University in Finland.
In recent years it has become more common for universities to use quantitative measures for yard-sticking the productivity and impact of individual researchers to help reduce hiring risks. Models thought to be capable of foreseeing a scientist's future impact by way of his or her future 'h-index' have become a common tool in recruitment decisions as well as other scientific evaluation, advancement, and reward processes.
Scientists concluded that great caution should be taken when attempting to forecast an individual's future based on their 'h-index'. Specifically the authors show that it is easy to grossly overestimate the predictability of cumulative measures over a person's entire career.
The study analyzed 762 scientists from three disciplines: physics, biology, and mathematics. By applying future impact models to these careers, a number of subtle, but critical, flaws in current models were identified. Specifically, the 'h-index' contains false autocorrelation, resulting in a significant overestimation of "predictive power". Moreover, the "predictive power" of these models vary greatly with the career age of scientists, producing least accurate estimates for already risk-burdened early career researchers.
Aalto researchers concluded that care must be taken to select the correct measures and methods to evaluate scientific candidates in the future. Increased attention should be paid to the potential shortfalls of quantitative methods when applied to the decision-making process.
The results were published in the Scientific Reports, a research publication from the publishers of Nature. This study was conducted by Raj Kumar Pany, Kimmo Kaski and Santo Fortunato from Aalto University in collaboration along with Orion Penner and Alexander M. Petersen from the IMT Institute for Advanced Studies in Lucca, Italy.

Mets, Padres, Yankees ask about Mariners' Dustin Ackley
Dec 10, 2013, 5:27 PM EDT
With second base now off limits for a good decade or so, the Mariners have to be open to moving Dustin Ackley and/or Nick Franklin. According to CBS Sports.com's Jon Heyman, the Mets, Padres and Yankees have already inquired about Ackley.
Ackley, the second overall pick in the 2009 draft, has hit a modest .245/.315/.354 in 1,324 major league at-bats, but he may have taken a step forward in the second half of last season, when he hit .304/.374/.435 in 184 at-bats. The Mariners were mostly using him a center fielder then, with Franklin starting at second. Overall, he made 49 starts at second, 46 in center and eight in left last season.
The Mets and Yankees, at least, would be looking at Ackley as a second baseman, it seems. The Mets are strongly considering trading Daniel Murphy, opening up the position for them, and the Yankees, of course, just lost Robinson Cano to the Mariners. The Padres might also use him at second if they trade Chase Headley and move Jedd Gyorko back to third.
The Mariners, though, could keep Ackley and continue to play him in the outfield. As is, they're still looking for help out there; they're still considering Nelson Cruz and they have some interest in re-signing Franklin Gutierrez. If the season started tomorrow, they'd probably have Michael Saunders, Ackley and either youngster Abraham Almonte or utilityman Willie Bloomquist starting.
- seattlej - Dec 10, 2013 at 5:33 PM
Christ. Duds seems like just the kind of "outfielder" that Jack-Z seems to have fallen in love with.
- seattlej - Dec 10, 2013 at 5:34 PM
- joenash72 - Dec 11, 2013 at 1:48 AM
As a Seattle fan, I thought Duds summed things up pretty well
- scyankee64 - Dec 10, 2013 at 6:06 PM
I would sign Jeff Baker. He's good against lefties and can play 2B, 3B, 1B, and corner OF. Kelly Johnson bats lefty. Sign Mark Reynolds to play third and add a little power since Arod will surely miss 50-162 games.
- mmason0071 - Dec 10, 2013 at 6:36 PM
Jack Z better do something to get in some quality outfielders. Signing Cano and then putting out a minor league OF trio of Saunders, Ackley and Almonte would be the most incompetent GM move since… well, since last years Mariner's outfield.
- jbarton92 - Dec 10, 2013 at 7:45 PM
The Yankees should consider moving Soriano back to 2nd. I know that he's old and hasn't played the position for years but you could potentially have a 2nd baseman with 30 homers and 100 rbi. It would also free up the DH to be a rotation spot for Jeter, McCann, Teix, Beltran & Soriano.
- fearthehoody - Dec 10, 2013 at 8:42 PM
Cano = Lip stick, Mariners = the pig
- cackalackyank - Dec 10, 2013 at 9:01 PM
I was just thinking that the NYY need ANOTHER infielder that can't hit .250. Oh…wait…no I wasn't.
- ptfu - Dec 10, 2013 at 10:49 PM
The Padres do have quite a few average-ish outfielders who should be available. Kyle Blanks and Jesus Guzman are comparable to Michael Saunders and would be inexpensive. Chris Denorfia, Will Venable, and Seth Smith would cost a bit more but hardly out of reach. Any of those guys would improve the Mariners' outfield, even if only on a platoon basis. (Deliberately leaving out Cameron Maybin and Carlos Quentin as I doubt the Padres want to move them at this point.)
Regarding Ackley…ehh, doesn't seem like much upside there. Maybe if he comes cheap enough then okay.
- jdillydawg - Dec 11, 2013 at 12:27 PM
Ackley and Franklin will do great at any other ball club. The Mariners have a way of sucking the life out of any ball player. Watch Zunino. He'll start to suck pretty soon too.
The sad thing is, this is my team. And yet, this is what 10 years of misery and mismanagement have led me to. Oh well, at least their profitable and getting good seats at the game is never a problem.
There's always an upside.

(1598-1647), Italian mathematician and astronomer. Francesco Bonaventura Cavalieri was born in 1598 in Milan. His developments in geometry were precursors to integral calculus, especially his method of indivisibles, a means of determining the size of geometric figures. He was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Bologna in 1629. Cavalieri was largely responsible for introducing in Italy the use of logarithms as a computational tool.

i came home lastnight and wanted a salad so bad i didnt want to go to the store so i went and made a salad in a wrap it was really good it was lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, a little dressing onions peppers carrots and wrapped it up and ate it it was one way of getting dinner fast
I love eating salad and vegetables in deli wraps but the flour tortilla wraps can be upto 170 cals per wraps before you add your filling, so now where possible I use a green leaf or lettuce leaf as my wrap instead.244
I wrap my tuna salad (I substitute a fat free salad dressing to step up taste instead of a light mayo) inside of large Iceberg lettuce leaves instead of a pita or wrap bread.....delicious and way less calories!
Eating veggies will help me loose weight YES! Well as much as I know this to be true it has always bean a struggle. Who can endure the salad, salad, salad, bla, bla, bla,? Then I did a few tweaks that changed the way I think about getting my greens. I add them to wraps by the handful, replace green beans for my pasta when I'm having spaghetti, and make a veggie " chili that is packed with flavor not calories just to name a few.

Beauty Shop: Davis' Execution, DSK's 'Moral Failing'
By editor
Georgia executed Troy Davis Wednesday night for the shooting death of a police officer, despite widespread opposition to the execution and Davis' innocence plea. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist's new book says the Obama White House was a hostile workplace for women. And Dominique Strauss-Kahn confesses to "moral failing." The Beauty Shop women weigh in.

The family—that cauldron of solidarity and rebellion, loyalty and betrayal—looms large in the mystery novels of Elizabeth George. True to form, "Careless in Red" (Harper, 626 pages, $27.95), set along the coast of Cornwall, features a number of trouble-fraught families whose members are pitted against one another as often as they are entangled in the intrigues of rival clans.
There are, for instance, the Kernes, whose patriarch is determined to turn a decrepit old resort-hotel into a destination vacation spot, with or without the help of his flagrantly unfaithful wife and their two grown children. The Angarrack brood is led by a man who runs a surfboard shop without the participation of either his hapless son or his sullen daughter. In the neighborhood is a veterinarian named Dairdre Trahair, whose family is remarkable in that there seems to be no trace of it. As for Thomas Lynley of New Scotland Yard—George's well-born, familiar series hero—he is not in a good way. The shocking death of his pregnant wife—an out-of-the-blue event that came at the end of a previous novel—has caused him to take seemingly permanent leave from the Yard while he hikes the Cornish countryside in an agony of grief.
Once the inspector happens upon the body of a young cliff-climber, though, he is drawn into a murder investigation. Soon he is receiving (or ignoring) orders from the local police honcho, a divorced woman whose work relationship with her policeman ex-husband is vexed by friction over time spent with their teenage son.
When not grappling with their own problems, the cops try to answer questions surrounding the murder victim: Was he killed because of his callous treatment of a local girl he had used and spurned? Might one of his own relatives have turned on him in pathological rage? Or could his death be the retributive result of much earlier events, half-buried in the generational past? It's not long before Inspector Lynley summons for assistance his "longtime partner and fractious friend" in crime-solving, Detective Sgt. Barbara Havers.
Even with Havers' aid, Lynley finds things hard going. "Cornwall had always been a lawless place," one of its inhabitants notes; and its occupants tread their own paths, carrying painful secrets and vengeful thoughts. "He longed for simplicity where there was none," Lynley realizes. "He longed for answers that were yes or no instead of an infinite string of maybe." But answers arrive in their own good time, resolving matters in a satisfying but open-ended manner, in keeping with George's psychologically nuanced approach to the evils that lurk within the family circle—and also the chances for redemptive love.Copyright © 2015, Chicago Tribune

Vladimir Radyuhin
Agreement likely to be inked next week
Fully assembled 12 SU-30MKI aircraft to be suppliedRemaining six planes to be delivered in DecemberIndo-Russian deal to build multi-role transport aircraft
MOSCOW: India will exchange 18 Sukhoi-30MK aircraft it had earlier purchased from Russia for a more sophisticated version of this long-range fighter jet, Su-30MKI.
Russia's Irkut manufacturer of Sukhoi warplanes said it planned to sign the deal next week. Under an earlier agreement, the SU-30MK planes were to be upgraded to the SU-30MKI version in India.
Irkut head Oleg Demchenko said 12 of the 18 planes were already assembled in the company's factory in Irkutsk. The remaining six would be delivered in December.
License accord
Irkut will also bring the supply of knock-down kits to assemble 140 SU-30MKI aircraft under licence in India. "Responding to a request from the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, we have reached an agreement to fulfil the licence accord in 2012 instead of 2014," the Irkut chief said.
Last week, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had rapped the HAL for huge cost overruns in the production of SU-30MKI under Russian licence.
He said the SU-30MKI kits would be supplied to India in a high degree of assembly. "They will be almost fully assembled aircraft," Mr. Demchenko said.

Innotek no bark training collar
posted 7 years ago
By applying the collar and using it during training sessions you can teach your dog not to bark unnecessarily. When used properly this method helps calm the dog down as well as the owner.
Pros: Trains the stubborn dogs effectively when used correctly
Cons: Some trainers don't use the collar properly

Union County Boy Scout Troop No. 129 learned an unusual lesson in technology — outside.
This March, the scouts participated in a high-tech treasure hunt, otherwise known as geocaching.
Geocaching is described as a treasure hunting game where participants use global positioning system (GPS) coordinates to hide and seek containers with other participants. The sport has become so popular, the Boy Scouts of America established a geocaching merit badge in 2010.
At the end of the rainbow
Geocaching hobbyist and Troop Leader Joe Anson of Creston took his scouts to Rainbow Park to not only locate "treasure," but to teach the scouts about geocaching.
With his scouts gathered around him, Anson opened up a geocaching application on his smartphone, which indicated a cache - or waterproof container — was hidden within the park.
As Anson showed the map on his phone to the scouts, he explained to them some important elements and details of the hunt.
"You can use the compass or the map," said Anson. "This shows you the distance and terrain."
Within minutes, the scouts located the cache. The scouts opened it to find a logbook and trinkets.
"Here is where you record that you have located it," said Anson.
In addition to signing the log book, Anson asked one of his scouts to take a trinket and leave a new trinket. A poker chip was placed in the cache and placed back in the same spot. Anson said, placing the cache in the same spot in which it was found is an important step to ensure the coordinates orginially assigned will still lead other geocachers to the same spot.
'Part of what we teach them is to leave no trace," said Anson. "When we do activities outside, they are to leave it the way they found it."
Other lessons boyscouts learn while obtaining a geocaching merit badge are:
Using waypoints or markers to navigate, defining terrains, using maps and GPS, using coordinates, working as partners and outdoor safety. Geocaching is also an activity that keeps participants active.
Geocaching in Creston
According to www.geocaching.com, there are more than 2,356,887 caches - or containers - hidden throughout the world. There are at least five caches hidden in Creston. One of the first, called "Mandy's Surprise," was hidden in 2007.
Anson said geocaching is becoming more popular in the area, as more caches are appearing in southwest Iowa.
The caches are hidden in well, but not every buried or places extremely difficult to access.
"We hid one this week and someone already found it," said Anson.
After their first find in Rainbow Park, the scouts headed to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church to locate a cache Anson has been looking for, but was unable to find. Within minutes, the scouts had located it.
"It wasn't that hard to find," said Adam Petitt.
Petitt suggested looking up.
Each cache, or container, is logged on www.geocaching.com. When a cache is hidden, it's location has to be approved by a website moderator before its coordinates becomes available to the public.
Only registered users of the site, which the applications downloaded to their phone or using a GPS device are able to locate each cache. Once a cache is found, the finder is asked to fill out the log within the cache and log the find on the website. An option to upload a photo of the find is available, too.
"It's a lot of fun," said Pettit.
"They loved it," said Anson. "We're getting ready to hide another."

I have no idea if that is true or not, but if it's true I don't think that's very professional. That's just my opinion, and you can disagree without attacking me as being "stupid."
Yes, it was actually the original suggestion by another poster that JJ was "fooling around" that was stupid. Of course, I would also caution against believing such a statement in the first place, especially in the absence of any claims that the poster witnessed the match, talked to Jenkins afterwards or before the match, etc. Perhaps some people are willing to believe anything negative they hear about players from certain schools. Would you immediately believe such hearsay about a Texas player?

Once upon a time there lived a man by the name of Abu. Abu was witty and clever man and all of the town loved him for his good nature. Abu too was a happy man except for one thing. Abu had rapidly lost all his hair and become completely bald. He was ashamed of his baldness and always wore a wig to cover his head. He only took of his head of false hear in the privacy of his home at night , so that no one might know of his predicament.
One day, Abu was out riding with his friends in the forest and there was a great gale. Strong gusts of wind swayed the trees and the leaves swirled into a whirlwind . The animals rushed into their shelters, as the horsemen tried to find some sort of a sanctuary from the fierce gale.
A sudden mighty gust of wind blew through the forest and as the horsemen tried to steady themselves in vain, Abu gasped in surprise as his wig was completely blown off. He watched in dismay as the woolly ball of hair went hurtling through the forest ground mingling with the scattered leaves and mud.
The other horsemen stared dumbfounded for a minute and then burst out laughing. How they laughed at Abu. The snorted and guffawed and roared with laughter. Abu�s face went a beet root red as he tried to conceal his embarrassment. But his companions could not help laughing at the sight of Abu�s bald head.
Slowly Abu�s embarrassment began to turn to anger and resentment. He grew purple in the face and breathed heavily .
Abu wondered how he could save face and thought quick and hard. Suddenly, a wide smile spread across his face. He looked at his friends with great glee and joined in their mirth. He too laughed as loudly as they did. His companions thought that Abu was indeed weird ; laughing at his own self . �What is the matter Abu?� asked one finally
Abu, barely able to conceal his mirth looked at his friends with twinkling eyes and replied , �"What a marvel it is that hairs which are not mine should fly from me, when they have forsaken even the man on whose head they grew."
�Yes,� chorused his friends, � better a bald head than no head at all�.

US woman killed same day sister sat behind Obama
CHICAGO – An 18-year-old Chicago woman was killed on the same day her sister sat on the stage behind President Barack Obama, listening to him push for gun control legislation.
Janay Mcfarlane was shot once in the head around 11:30 p.m. Friday in North Chicago, Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd told the Chicago Sun-Times. Mcfarlane, the mother of a 3-month-old boy, was in the Chicago suburb visiting friends and family.
North Chicago police said two people are being questioned in connection with Mcfarlane's death, but no charges have been filed yet.
"I really feel like somebody cut a part of my heart out," Angela Blakely, Mcfarlane's mother, said.
Blakely said the bullet that killed Mcfarlane was meant for a friend.
Hours earlier, Mcfarlane's 14-year-old sister sat feet from Obama at Hyde Park Career Academy, where he spoke about gun violence and paid tribute to Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old honor student fatally shot last month in a South Side park. Police have said it was a case of mistaken identity, and two people have been charged.
Pendleton's death was one of more than 40 homicides in Chicago in January, a total that made it the deadliest January in the city in more than a decade. Pendleton, a drum majorette, had recently performed during Obama's inauguration in Washington and the slaying happened about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from his Chicago home.
Blakely told the newspaper that Janay Mcfarlane had been affected by Pendleton's death.
"She always said after Hadiya Pendleton got killed, 'Momma that's so sad,'" Blakely said. "She was always touched by any kid that got killed. She was always touched by mothers who couldn't be there for their babies because they were gone."
Mcfarlane was supposed to graduate from an alternative school this spring, Blakely said, and wanted to go into the culinary arts.
"I'm just really, truly just trying to process it — knowing that I'm not taking my baby home anymore," Blakely said.

Spokeswomen for Delta and Tampa International Airport said the two first-class passengers were forced to exit the plane in Tampa Sunday after they refused to sit and repeatedly demanded that the flight staff bring them champagne and food, the Tampa Bay (Fla.) Times reported Monday.
Airport spokeswoman Janet Zink said authorities did not file any charges against the "unruly" couple but the FBI was notified as a matter of routine.
Delta spokeswoman Chris Kelly Singley said Flight 413 continued on to Costa Rica after about an hour in Tampa.
