OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Voters may be presented with two ballot measures seeking to overturn a recently passed measure that would legalize same-sex marriage in Washington state.
On Wednesday, the Legislature approved a gay marriage bill with a 55-43 vote in the House. The Senate approved it last week on a 28-21 vote, and now the bill awaits a signature from Gov. Chris Gregoire. She is expected to sign the measure into law next week.
Opponents have already promised to challenge the measure at the ballot with a referendum, which would ask voters whether they want to uphold the law or overturn it. But another gay marriage opponent, Everett attorney Stephen Pidgeon, had already filed an initiative last month seeking to clarify state law to "between one man and one woman."

Youth shelter ready to move on after embezzlement
LOS ALAMITOS – The director of the Casa Youth Shelter says she is ready to close the book on more than two years of investigations and court hearings surrounding the woman who embezzled more than $435,000 from the organization.
Lydia Fitzgerald, 48, formerly of Los Alamitos, is expected to be sentenced Friday after she pleaded guilty in December to embezzling from the shelter, which provides services to runaway teens and at-risk youth.
"Not everything is perfect, but we've learned a lot from it," Executive Director Luciann Maulhardt said. "We continue to raise good dollars in this economy and we've gained so many new supporters.
"As of this weekend, we are going to put this behind us," she said.
From April 2004 to December 2007, Fitzgerald used her position as executive assistant at the shelter to buy vacations, a boat and cars, among other luxuries. She admitted to forging checks to herself, and opening an unauthorized credit card in the shelter's name and using it to transfer money into the payroll account to cover her illicit spending.
Casa managed to keep its programs and services running smoothly in the wake of the theft and during tough economic times, Maulhardt said.
"We had to dip into our savings ... in order to be able to make sure the kids and families didn't know that there was any suffering around here," Maulhardt said. "But now, it's business as usual."
The nonprofit works with a $930,000 operating budget, and most of that comes from fundraising and private donations. The shelter finished this year with a deficit of about $35,000, Maulhardt said.
The shelter has served more than 10,000 teens and youth in its 30-plus years in the community.
Maulhardt said the 28-member board of directors continues to work on fundraising strategies and she is looking forward to keeping Casa Youth Shelter's programs strong this year.
"I think we're in awfully good shape," Maulhardt said. "Now if the economy will just go along with us, it would be even better."
Fitzgerald was ordered to pay $390,000 in restitution to the shelter and an additional $93,000 in restitution to the California Franchise Tax Board. She is expected to be sentenced to four years in prison Friday.

|Topic: PWM-MCO, STL-MSP-DTW-PWM +NIFA (LONG!)
Username: KPWMSpotter
Posted 2009-08-10 07:57:08 and read 31139 times.
Early this summer, I spent two weeks traveling around the country simply enjoying aviation. The purpose of this trip was to compete in the 2009 National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA) SAFECON Nationals in St. Louis. While my part in the competition was solely for the Aircraft Recognition event, I spent plenty of time watching planes, pushing planes, riding in planes, and doing lots of things with planes. (With that much aviation content, this must be the right website to post this at...) Also included in my journey were two commercial flights, one with jetBlue flying PWM-MCO, and another returning home on Northwest, flying STL-MSP-DTW-PWM. Hopefully everyone who reads this will find at least something that peaks their interest.
Traffic at PWM was pretty slow, which is typical for a weekday morning (especially when the conditions are IFR). The highlight of the morning was a Mitsubishi MU-2 which taxied past to do a maintenance run up at the end of 11. I've never been up close up to an MU-2 before and although I've heard that they are wonderfully loud aircraft, I didn't quite know what to expect. Even through the terminal window the high pitched whine of the engines at idle was rather impressive.
After an admittedly over-priced meal at the Shipyard Brewing Company in the terminal, I headed down to JetBlue's waiting area at gate 10, only to find that due to an arriving flight from JFK, we would be using gate 3 instead. Gate 3 used to be shared between Northwest and AirTran, but since Northwest consolidated their space with Delta, gate 3 has been the general use gate for charters (and apparently late JetBlue flights.) As the flight crew walked down the jetway, I watched the First Officer look at the "AirTran" decal on the door and mime the motion of ripping it down.
Our E-190 apparently had a technical delay earlier in the morning in Rochester, and was making up time from that delay throughout the day. The aircraft arrived as expected about two hours behind schedule. Boarding took a little longer than I expected, as JetBlue had to call 13 skycaps with wheel chairs to deplane elderly passengers on board.
After the delay no one seemed happy to wait to board the aircraft (what a surprise.) Almost half of the passengers rushed the jetbridge with the pre-boarding announcement. Despite the mob at the boarding gate, everyone managed to get on board in a timely manner. I took my seat in 10D, noting a 100% load factor for the flight. As I was sitting down, a family of 6 (which included 4 young boys) took seats in the rows around me. I was expecting a very loud and distracting flight, but the seat-back TV seemed to settle them down quickly. (yet another reason to like JetBlue: children tend to scream less when they're watching Sponge Bob)
We departed from runway 11, which would normally take us over Casco Bay and the Portland Head Light lighthouse, but we were in the clouds very soon after departure. (One of my older trip reports includes some pictures of the same departure, but on a clearer day.)
Takeoff Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK0yxym8i7o
The remainder of the flight was pretty standard for JetBlue. Drink orders taken, full cans of soda delivered, choice of snacks from a basket. The man in the seat next to me asked for one of everything, and I was surprised when the Flight Attendant obliged and handed him a pile of snacks. Apparently the "all the snacks you want" isn't just an advertising catch.
There wasn't much for scenery since we were dodging weather the whole way down. A large front was moving over Georgia and the Northeast was layered with clouds. Knowing that, I sat back and turned on the History Channel. Today's in-flight viewing was a documentary about the Titanic.
Our flight path took us out over the Atlantic, swinging back West just South of Orlando. Florida was covered in some scattered clouds so there wasn't much of a view (not that Florida is all that scenic from the air to begin with). We landed on 35L at MCO and taxied to a very full airside. After a 10 minute wait for our gate to open up (understandable for being two hours late) we pulled up and deplaned. The baggage claim wasn't as slow as Orlando's usual standards, as it only took me maybe 20 minutes after deplaning to get my bag. That put the time at about 7:50, just enough time to catch my 8:00 shuttle up to Daytona.

Part Two (the really long part):
The interstate finally deposited us in Murfreesboro, TN, which apparently was the victim of an F4 Tornado just two days before.
After tying down the planes extra tight (with the help of the Middle Tennessee State University's flight team) we settled in for the night, slept, and then awoke to get back on the road and drive the final leg north.
After another drive through another weather-ravaged chunk of the Midwest, we finally arrived in St. Louis, at approximately 3:00 in the afternoon. This gave us almost exactly a week of time solely for practice before the competition. For me, that meant a week buried in Janes books, Wikipedia, and almost every other aircraft recognition resource known to man.
The first week in St. Louis was solely for practicing landings and navigation and NIFA hadn't set up their hangar or tent yet. Since we had no base on the airport, both the Daytona and Prescott teams settled into the Jet Aviation FBO. Hanging out in an FBO for 10 hours a day has its benefits. Business jets and helicopters constantly pull up to the front door...and occasionally their pilots offer tours of expensive planes.
Over the course of the week, I was able to tour a Cessna Citation Excel, a Dassault Falcon 900, and finally a Gulstream G-IV. While I don't quite have the experience to critique each jet type, I did get three distinctly different impressions from the three jets. While a great deal of my thoughts were influenced by each plane's interior condition, I'll do my best to give an unbiased opinion of each jet.
Cessna 560XL Citation Excel
Operated by: NetJets
Registration: N629QS
On my first day in CPS, I realized the benefits that come with being part of a group wearing "FLIGHT TEAM" T-shirts in an FBO. A NetJets crew who were babysitting a Citation for the evening offered our entire team a quick tour of their jet, pointing out the perks (and not-so-perks) of their job and their aircraft.
The Citation Excel was the first jet of its class that I'd been inside, and I was quite impressed by its features. The cabin ceiling was tall enough to allow me to stand fully with a little room to spare (I'm 5' 10"), and the seats were extremely comfortable compared to the airline standard that I'm used to. The gold fittings for air conditioning, the cup-holder mounted TV, and sound system were just an added bonus. The Citation Excel certainly disproved my impression of the Citation line being the very-low end of business jets.
Even though the cabin on the Excel was impressive, I came away with the impression that it's operational characteristics were more suitably described as "meh." The range on the Excel was described as "about enough to take 4 people from New York to Florida," and when the aircraft is loaded to its full capacity the range significantly decreases. The flight deck is the same spartan semi-glass Honeywell cockpit that Cessna has in most of its business jet range, and the 560XL was not designed for single-pilot operations. It seems like the 560XL is in an awkward spot, half way between the limited performance of the earlier Citations and the high performance of airframes like the 680 Citation Sovereign. Regardless...I wouldn't mind flying in it...
Dassault Falcon 900EX
Operated by: AT&T
Registration: N901SB
The next day, I found myself in a lengthy conversation with the captain of a Falcon 900 that flies for AT&T. He seemed very surprised by all of the cameras pointed at his plane, and he seemed almost shocked when I showed him Airliners.net and all the pictures of his planes online. Towards the end of the conversation, he offered to show us (the aircraft recognition team) around his aircraft. Unfortunately his clients arrived at the airport just after we stepped on board, but the two minutes that we were inside the jet were rather impressive.
While the Falcon series of jets do not have the cleanest of exterior lines, the interior that was installed in this particular aircraft was amazing. Especially with the "Easy" flight deck that was installed, everything was superbly clean, sleek, and high tech in appearance.
Personally, I had never thought of the Falcon 900 in the same class as Gulfstreams and the Global Express, but from what I saw, the Falcon 900 (and even moreso the 7X) easily matches those jets in capability and luxury.
Gulfstream G-IV
Operated by: "IC Group LLC"
Registration: N728LB
Continuing moving up in class, another member of the team managed to talk her way onto a Gulfstream IV, and procure tours for everyone who was interested. Personally, I preferred the Falcon. While Gulfstream currently has the reputation of being as luxurious as one can get, this example wasn't so impressive. Owned by a charter company out of Teterboro, this airframe featured the same luxurious polished wood and gold plated interior as the Falcon and Citation, but had quite a worn out feel to it. While I'm certainly not complaining about getting the opportunity to step foot in a Gulfstream, this airframe isn't what I'd purchase if I had a few extra million dollars lying around.
Lockheed L-1329 JetStar
Operated by: "St. Louis Air Museum"
Registration: N511TD
Okay, so this aircraft doesn't exactly fit with the rest. No, I didn't get to see one of the very few flying JetStars in existence. This airframe was on display at the St. Louis air museum just across the field from the FBO. I didn't get a peak inside of the aircraft until the very last day of competition when the museum opened it up to see, but I'll stick it here with the rest of my business jet adventures.
The interior of this JetStar looked as if it hadn't been touched since the 70's or 80's. All of the interior fittings were wood and leather, and the only glass to be found in the flight deck was that in the windows. On the outside the plane looked decrepit and falling apart, but the inside looked like it was almost ready to fly again. Yes, there were plenty of broken gauges and missing fixtures, but for such an antique aircraft, I was pleasantly surprised.
Now I'm just looking for an excuse to show some of my better pictures from the week at the airport, so, here's some photos:
St. Louis is still a relatively major transportation hub for the rail industry. I'm not sure how many of you here at A.Net are also rail fans, but it seems to be a common theme that those who like planes also like either cars or trains. Either way, if you don't like trains, ignore the below and move on.
A four-track line runs directly behind the St. Louis downtown airport, so the jet and prop noise was frequently punctuated by the rumble of diesel locomotives and the wail of horns.
Getting back to the competition, this year's NIFA SAFECON was arranged so that all of the ground events (SCAN, COMPACC, Aircraft Recognition) would be held on Monday in a downtown hotel, with all of the flying events following throughout the week at the airport. My cram studying for Rec continued up through the opening ceremony, and by the mid-afternoon test I was more than ready to get it over with.
As mundane as aircraft recognition may sound, I find taking the test rather exhilerating. Each test is composed of ~60 aircraft slides. For the first 50 slides a multiple choice is provided, with 4 choices each for the aircraft manufacturer, type, and name (each worth a point), while the last ten are fill in the blank, with the same three categories being required. If you're thinking that it's easy...well, we're not talking about A320s and 747s. NIFA finds some obscure crap to put on the tests. Here's a couple examples from this year's test. (answers provided below)
( ) Lockheed ( ) P4M-1 ( ) Aurora
( ) Kawasaki ( ) P-2E ( ) Atlantic
( ) Dassault-Br. ( ) P-2J ( ) Neptune
( ) Martin ( ) Br.1150 ( ) Mercator
(Fill in the blank)
________________________ ________________________ ________________________
With my part in SAFECON over with for the year, the next week of competition was spent pushing aircraft around the ramp. NIFA requires aircraft to be started and shut down at "hot boxes" at either end of the ramp, so every time we dispatched a plane to compete, a team had to be there to push it down the ramp. Even a Cessna 172 starts to feel heavy after the first day or two of pushing it back and forth.
I don't have too many photos from the competition itself, but here are some flight team photos from both St. Louis and the previous months practicing in Florida.
After a week of competition my first NIFA Nationals experience came to an end. At the awards ceremony, the Daytona Beach Eagles Flight Team placed first in Flight Events, third in Ground Events, and Second overall (behind UND.) Amazingly, the entire Daytona Aicraft Recognition team placed in the top twenty, taking 1st, 5th, 8th, 18th, and 19th, with yours truly taking the 19th place spot. Historically it has been rare for even two members of our team to place in the top twenty in REC...apparently we did something right this year! Yes, I placed the lowest on my team...but being my first time at Nationals, I was happy to earn even a single point for the team! On that high note, it was time for my trip home.

Part Three (the journey home):
On board, I took my seat in 16D and promptly noticed that the no-smoking sign was not illuminated. Taking note of it as being a little odd, it was not until later that I noticed that the plane didn't have a no-smoking light at all. It seems that all of the new CRJ-900s (perhaps other planes as well?) are being delivered with a no-electronics placard instead of one for no-smoking.
Seated in the back of the plane, I ended up in the center of a track and field team that was returning home from a competition. I must say, these were the most obnoxious seat mates I have ever flown with. The guys seated around me were constantly trying to act masculine for the girls, and the majority of the girls were run of the mill ditzy blonds. So it goes. At least it was a short flight.
On the ground we were delayed a few minutes waiting for a start-cart, due to an inoperative APU. When the captain announced that the APU was inoperative (mostly to explain why it was getting so hot in the cabin), one of the girls seated behind me called for a Flight Attendant, stating her uneasiness with flying on a broken plane. She said that she "didn't want the pilots just playing with things in flight to find out what else is broken."
After a long wait for a really short taxi, we departed from runway 12L, flying to the North of downtown St. Louis and the arch, before turning Northwest on course.
The flight itself was, well, standard. Shortly after reaching 10,000 feet, a sole Flight Attendant came through with miniature water bottles, and shortly afterward with the whole drink cart (still only offering a limited selection of water, juices, and hot drinks) as well as the standard Delta Biscoff Cookies.
The rest of the one-hour flight was remarkably uneventful. Before landing at MSP we flew a downwind just West of the airport before making a right base to Runway 12R. Landing on 12R, we rolled out past the Signature FBO, where a plethora of interesting jets were parked. Personally, my favorite is still the Falcon 900...
Not knowing my way around Minneapolis and only having an hour connection, I quickly deplaned and headed out into the airport. Walking into the main terminal I was pleasantly surprised. For some reason I have always held the impression of Northwest being a sub-par legacy carrier, lacking in customer service and in facilities. I had expected that their two biggest hubs would reflect that impression, being rundown and unkempt. Minneapolis (and even more so Detroit) were quite the opposite.
While parts of the terminal had a mall-ish feel to them (makes sense being next-door neighbors with the Mall of America), the building was nicely kept on the inside. I didn't have the time to ride the tram around, but I was interested to see that MSP has a steel-rail/steel-wheel tram system, more akin to a light rail system than an airport tram. Unfortunately, the tram is no help at all for getting from the A terminal where I arrived to the F terminal where I was departing, so I had to hike almost the entire length of the airport to get to my departure gate (not that I'm complaining, I enjoyed the walk, I just wanted to ride a train...)
I didn't happen across MSP's well regarded observation deck on my way to gate F6, but the gate area provided a nice view of aircraft pulling off of Runway 12R, as well as the cluster of NWA aircraft and equipment parked in the general area.
Flight #NWA 1452
Equipment:Douglas DC-9-50 (N785NC)
Scheduled Departure: 08:50 Actual Departure: 08:48
Scheduled Arrival: 11:31 Actual Arrival: 11:25
My aircraft for the short hop over to DTW was a DC-9-50, N785NC, still in the Northwest new-colors. Since this was my first flight (and probably last) with NWA, I was hoping to see plenty of red tails (and perhaps an old bowling shoe livery.) Instead, I was surprised by a decent number of Delta-painted A319s and A320s. While Airbii in Delta colors are still a novel sight, I have a feeling that they will soon become just another boring white airplane. (Is it just me, or does Delta's livery get worse every time they change it?)
Adding up the time it took to walk across the terminal and the time I spent sightseeing around the concourse, I arrived at the gate with only 5 or 10 minutes left before boarding.
I was one of the first to board the aircraft (the plane was boarded by rows, instead of the zones that I'm used to at Delta.) I made my way back to seat 23A, right by the engine. I made up my mind when I booked the seat that I was going to go deaf on this flight, but I was going to love every minute of it. The interior of this DC-9 looked extremely worn out and the seats felt like they were made of rather thick cardboard, but it was a short flight and it could have been worse for a 30 year old plane.
Sitting just one or two rows in front of the engine's fan disk, I got the full JT8D audio-experience on this flight. Taxiing out was probably the worst on my ears, as the engine noise was a low pitch that was constantly oscillating in volume and tone. You can hear some of this in the video I took of the takeoff, but my camera certainly did not capture all of the interesting sounds that were bouncing around in the cabin at takeoff.
Takeoff from Minneapolis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXamX_chRgI
After takeoff, either the engines quieted down or my senses became dulled (probably a little of both), but I didn't really find it bothersome to be sitting next to the engine. I understand why SeatGuru places warnings next to the aft seats, cautioning of bothersome noise, but in cruise I don't think this flight was any louder than others.
Shortly after passing over Minneapolis the scenery quickly became sparse, with vast expanses of flat, green areas dominating the landscape. This flat featureless farmland (how's that for alliteration?) continued until reaching Lake Michigan.
I'm not sure how many times I can write about Delta's domestic in-flight service, because as far as I can tell it never changes. While there's always the gamble between getting peanuts or getting Biscoff, Delta/Northwest's in flight service is boringly consistent. First come the snacks and napkins, followed a couple minutes later by the drink cart. I was surprised to be served a Pepsi produced drink, but it all tastes the same at altitude anyways. (I thought that Delta/Northwest had consolidated their catering with Coke products, but I guess it still depends on the station that the aircraft was serviced at, as my STL-MSP flight had been stocked with Coke and Sprite.)
By the time the cans and trash were collected, we were already over Lake Michigan, with little left of the flight. At this point, I reached the conclusion that I need to fly in this manner more often, taking short hops of an hour or so, leisurely making my way to my destination. The glory of flight is often lost in the boredom of a trans-continental or trans-oceanic flight...it is the short hops, seeing new airports, and experiencing new aircraft that I truly enjoy.
We approached DTW from the West, overflying the field before turning back to the airport and making an approach to (what I believe was) Runway 4L. We used the majority of the runway, coming to a gentle stop before beginning a circuitous taxi in to the terminal. After what felt like a field trip into a farmer's field on taxiway Quebec, the aircraft came to a stop at Gate A11. Since I was in the back of the aircraft to start with, I waited for everyone else on the plane to depart and headed up to the Flight Deck to take some pictures. When I asked the captain "what's it like to fly something this old?" his response was "what do you mean old?" Apparently he had started out with Mesaba in Saabs, and stuck with the DC-9 ever since. This 1982 DC-9 was still relatively new to him.
The jet bridge deposited me at the South end of the MacNamera Terminal, right next to the tram stop. My connecting flight was out of gate B1, in the smaller sattelite terminal, but I had nearly two hours to kill, so I was in no rush to get to the gate. I had never been through Detroit before, so I spent the first 45 minutes just exploring. I rode the tram back and fourth through the terminal a few times, looking for interesting things that I should check out on the ground floor. While I was impressed by the Minneapolis terminal, Detroit really impressed me.
The entire MacNamera terminal has a very spacious and open feel to it. The high ceilings, abundance of windows, and ample room available for passengers all contributed to making the airport have a very enjoyable aura to it. Atlanta's terminal, for example, has low ceilings, no windows, and half the seating that it should at gates. I loathe spending more than an hour in Atlanta. In Detroit, I wouldn't mind waiting out a delay at all.
The only complaint I have about Detroit is the terminal windows. Every window in the terminal is completely covered by little black dots. While I understand the reason for the dots, to keep the sun from heating up the glass covered building too badly, it makes it very hard to take pictures of airplanes. The dots don't become visible until you get close to the window, but it's hard to take any decent photographs standing back from the window. So it goes. That just means I get stuck photographing the architecture and indoor mass-transit instead. Not a terrible trade-off.
Flight # MES 3619
Equipment:Bombardier CRJ-900 (N915XJ)
Scheduled Departure: 13:35 Actual Departure: 13:38
Scheduled Arrival: 15:28 Actual Arrival: 15:28
My final leg home to Portland was departing out of the smaller RJ (B/C) concourse which is located parallel to the main terminal building. The architecture in this concourse is much the same as the main terminal, except smaller. The ceilings are lower, the windows are smaller, and the terminal is about half the length. Regardless of size, it was still a nice looking building. The only way to reach this concourse is through an underground tunnel below the ramp. This "tunnel of lights" features a psychedelic mixture of colored lights and nondescript music. On my first escalator ride into the tunnel I found myself totally alone in the echoing and colorful space. I had to double check to see if I was actually in Detroit...
My flight was departing from gate B1. In an epic lack of observation, I assumed that gate B1 would be at the end of the concourse, not the middle where I exited the escelator. It wasn't until I reached gate B-twenty-something at the end of the terminal that I realized I had walked a quarter mile for nothing, and now I needed to walk back.
A CRJ-440 was boarding directly across the concourse from my gate heading to Bangor, Maine. There was an oddly high concentration of L.L. Bean merchandise and other outdoor clothing in the gate area that day, especially for being in Detroit.
After a brief wait (I had killed most of my layover riding the tram back and fourth and admiring the architecture in the A concourse) boarding began. The gate agent gave plenty of time for first class/elites to board before calling general boarding for the rest of the aircraft. The electronic scanner was broken this day, so the gate agent was checking and writing down the last names by hand. Despite causing a bit of a line at the gate, everyone managed to get on the plane in a timely manner.
The flight to Portland was full on this day, so I had forked over the $20 when I purchased my ticket for an exit row window seat. The seat pitch was wonderfully generous, and the seat was as comfortable as I've ever experienced in an RJ. (Certainly nothing to write home about, but hey, it's a CRJ so expectations are lower to start with.)
Before boarding was complete, a man came back from the front of the plane asking if I would like to trade seats so that he could be seated with his wife. While I was contemplating trying to work out a deal with him that didn't involve me giving up my $20 seat, he retracted his request, apparently reading the look of "I don't want to trade seats" off my face. As he walked back forward I was releived I hadn't been persuaded into a trade, as he sat back down in an aisle seat next to a mother with a noisy lap child.
Taxi and takeoff was extremely quick. Climbout and cruise was utterly uneventful. Snack service was exactly the same as all of my previous Delta/NWA flights, featuring soft drinks, juice, water, and/or Biscoff cookies. Before I knew it, we broke through some light clouds and I recognized some landmarks of Southern Maine.
I will never get tired of flying the Harbor Visual approach. They claim that the approach is for noise abatement around the city, but I almost suspect that it's to give tourists a stunning view of Casco Bay before landing in Portland. Skimming just a few thousand feet over islands and sailboats with the city of Portland just off to the right of the plane, the route is much the same path that scenic charters take when they want to see Casco Bay.
I was surprised by the frequency of control inputs I could feel while we were on approach. Perhaps I'm just used to the straight-in ILS approaches when I'm sitting in the back, but it really felt like the pilots were having some fun and actually flying the plane, instead of sipping coffee and watching the computer. When I deplaned, I inquired to the pilots about how much of the approach they had flown manually. Their first response was "what, could you tell? was it that bad?" but they continued to elaborate, stating that it was easier to fly the non-standard approach without any input from the autopilot. Also, it seems that Portland's Harbor Visual is very non-standard as far as noise abatement goes. Both the captain and first officer commented that Washington National's approach is the only thing like it that they've experienced flying in the US (and that's hardly for noise abatement...)
And that brings to a close my two weeks of aviation goodness, jetting with jetBlue, flying the red tailed diesel on Northwest, and generally having fun around planes. It's actually taken me longer to write this trip report than I was on the trip, so I hope you've all enjoyed reading it!

Crown Brushes - questions & discussion
Are these any good? Their website is mind-boggling, I'm not sure what's good.
I've been tinkering with the idea of starting a brush/makeup accessories line. I've already heard good things about japonesque and asked them for a catalogue. I just wanted to find out a little more about Crown.
August 23rd, 2005, 04:05 AM #2
Japonesque are much better quality in general. Skip the Pro line and mineral line from Crownbrush. But the Badgers are soft, the Studio and Backstage lines are pretty good.
September 9th, 2005, 08:16 PM #3
Anyone ordered? I totally want some of them!
September 9th, 2005, 11:01 PM #4
I got the mini badger set and the fdundation brush in the badger line also
so far so good!"if you knew what life was worth, you would look for yours on Earth" --Bob Marley--

I have the full line of italian badger brushes. The are very nice IMO and also very reasonably priced! The only one that I was not happy with was the italian badger kabuki which was to soft and not thick enough to buff with.
September 14th, 2005, 02:40 AM #7
did you get the mini set or regular size?"if you knew what life was worth, you would look for yours on Earth" --Bob Marley--
September 14th, 2005, 03:38 PM #8
Their best brushes hands down is the mini Badger travel set. They are really soft and dense - softer than the full size Badger brushes. The worst brushes are the mineral line and pro line. The mineral line are too hard, too big, and too scratchy. The pro line brushes I received were poorly and unevenly cut. Also stay away from C109 and C223 and Badger foundation as they are scratchy. I was generally happy with most brushes from the Badger and Studio line though. Overall they are nice brushes at a great price! A group buy is a great way to go to qualify for great discounts!
September 14th, 2005, 03:41 PM #9
September 14th, 2005, 03:45 PM #10
They are cheap because they are the manufacturer, so those are wholesale prices. A friend on another board is doing a group buy to get a 40% discount. Then they are *really* cheap.
April 15th, 2006, 07:53 AM #11
Crown Brushes are awesome!!! (Thnx caffn8me!)
I just have to give a shout out to caffn8me for sharing with us about the crown brushes co. I just got my order today and I must say these brushes are soooo amazing!!!! I just cannot believe the quality of these brushes!!! And they are sooo cheap at around $1-15 I think was the most expensive one that I got. I got this chisel deluxe dome brush that looks and feels exactly like MAC's 136 powder brush that's $62.00 for $12.95!!! Can you believe that?!!Also they have the exact brush belt MAC sells without it saying "MAC" for I think about $19.00.So take a look girls! It is totatlly worth it.And thanks again Caffn8me! By the way I pmed you! (=

April 16th, 2006, 03:13 PM #16
Could anyone that uses the Crown Brushes list their MAC equivalents?
ie MAC 224 = Crown M7
It would be greatly appreciated!!!
April 17th, 2006, 05:40 AM #17
"Which ones did you buy, there's so many!"
Yes that is the website, and sorry to get back to you so late, but here are the ones I've gotten
C104 angle brush
C140 Chisel deluxe dome brush=MAC 136
C200 Deluxe crease
C139 stiff tapered crease love this one
KBS Mineral Kabuki=Catherine Denueve Kabuki brush
M7 Deluxeu crease
M9 Angled Shadow
IB124 Italian Badger Kabuki (ok)
C157 Detail/firm shadow(ok)
C158 Smudger/oval fluff
C159 liner/chisel fluff
C154 Cresent fluff ( my fave) this brush is amazing!! It blends your crease and highlight color effortlessly for a beautiful effect. I put the crease color on one side of the brush and highlight color on the other and follow the shape of my socket.
C220 angle fluff
C206 Deluxe lip brush = MAC's lip brush w/ cover
hope this helps!
April 17th, 2006, 02:20 PM #18

But I'm waiting for the shipping cost before buy.
It's very cheap and the sellers are very sympathic!

Yay for Crown!!!
I bought about 20 brushes from Crown, 4 years ago. They are still holding up very well. I prefer the Badger set. I really like the deluxe kabuki brush. It shedded a lot in the beginning but after a while there weren't anymore problems. The shipping was extremely fast. I highly recommend them.I make things, Check it out:

re: Crown Brushes - questions & discussion
I'm sorry but I can't find anything on their website that says what the bristles are made of. They look synthetic....are they? Or are some of them natural fibres?
February 12th, 2007, 09:31 AM #30
re: Crown Brushes - questions & discussion
you have some mineral brushes. There is a section on their webside.
But their brushes are very good. I've just receive the deluxe italian kabuki and it's awesome! and 2 blush brushes: I love them!
Don't hesitate!

Dear Alice,
I'm a teenage gal in a great relationship with another girl who goes to my school. We're both out to our parents and some friends, with okay reactions. The problem is, our school is pretty homophobic, and word is getting out that we're dating. My parents worry we might be physically or verbally assaulted at school. My neighbor, who owns guns, has already asked me about it, and I'm scared for our safety. What can two girls in a homophobic suburban school do? We don't have the same support system some college students do. We don't have a GSA and I don't trust any of the school staff much. Please help!
— Worried about Gay-Bashing
Dear Worried about Gay-Bashing,
How frustrating, angering, and discouraging it can feel to be true to yourself and find a great relationship, yet be faced with homophobia, scrutiny, and the fear of violence. Your concerns are unfortunately not uncommon, and are warranted. But you also have a right to a safe, peaceful, and fulfilling life. Coming out to yourself and to the people you care about is a courageous and self-affirming act; it has also started to build a team of allies and supporters that can help you and your girlfriend to feel pleasure and safety in your relationship.
Your situation has many levels of complexity and no clear-cut resolution. You do, however, have options. It might help to divide up some of the different topics in thinking through your feelings and course of action. Included here are a number of resources and strategies that you can consider. Sometimes thinking about all the options at once seems daunting, and that's okay. You may choose to act on only some now, putting the rest of the information in your back pocket to refer to later on, if you need to.
Your Parents
You mention in your question that you're already aware that your parents are worried about your safety. Talking with them might be hard, but it'll likely also be a relief for both you and them to put the issues out on the table. It can be painful for parents to acknowledge that they cannot completely ensure that their child will not come to harm. Even when there's no immediate threat, it's common for parents of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered teens to feel anxiety and sometimes even guilt. It might be helpful for your parents to have the opportunity to speak with other parents in similar situations. Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) is a national organization with local chapters — a place for you, your family, and your friends to get support. PFLAG's web site has a wealth of information that you can look at on your own, or with your parents, as well as contact info for chapter meetings and a focus area on safety in schools.
In addition to discussing in general about feelings, it can be helpful to talk specifically about what you would do if an incident requiring attention were to arise. Who would you tell? How would you react in the moment? Who do you and your parents feel comfortable having as allies? What do you need from your parents? What kind of assurances do your parents need? You could even come up with scenarios and play them out in your conversation.
Your Girlfriend
You and your girlfriend have a great relationship, but the fear of harm is certain to be a stressor. You might start by being honest with each other about your ideals and how you are going to balance these with protecting yourselves. Some of your decisions may be political and others may be about your gut instincts. For example, how do you feel about holding hands in public? Do you talk about your relationship openly with people at school? What would it mean if you decided not to? There are no right or wrong decisions here — it's just a matter of what makes you feel safe and comfortable.
Make sure that while taking time to focus on the challenges, you also build in plenty of fun. It's not uncommon for a romance such as yours to become overly dependent in the face of outside worries. Remember to build and keep up new external connections and friends. One question to ask yourselves is whether or not you want to talk with your parents together with your girlfriend, with her parents, too, or if each of you will decide to take care of your own families. How does her family feel about your relationship? Do you want to get your families together to strategize? Who are your and her supports outside of your relationship?
Your Friends
Your friends are important in building comfort and safety at your school and in your community. Whether you know other young people who are gay or not, most people have experienced feeling judged or unaccepted, maybe even threatened, at some point in their lives. On the other hand, it can be difficult in school to "go against the grain." Some people might be too worried about creating tension or being noticed if they were to openly support you and your girlfriend. You can start by appealing to the sure bets, then extending your reach to friends and peers who will empathize with your experience, maybe because of their racial or ethnic identity, or possibly due to something else about them that caused them to experience prejudice from close-minded people in your community. Try the rebellious crowd, who might be up for a little "action." The idea here is to energize people so that if homophobia were to flare up, you'd be prepared with a group of supporters.
Your School
Chances are, just on the basis of statistics, there are gay or gay-friendly teachers and administrators at your school who may be able to provide support. They too, though, may be worried about homophobia and, therefore, remain closeted. Unfortunately, too few schools actively and visibly support and embrace their queer students and staff. But this doesn't necessarily mean that they allow violence or harassment. You and your parents might start by doing some research into anti-harassment, anti-prejudice, and/or anti-violence statutes in your area or school. You may decide to approach your school administrators in advance of anything specific happening, just to start the conversation and feel out their opinions and approach. That way, if something were to happen that would require their assistance, you already have a contact and an "in."
Another option is to suggest to the administration, student government, peer counseling program (if your school is lucky enough to have one), or another student activist group that the entire student body might benefit from an anti-prejudice workshops or programs. Numerous organizations that provide this type of programming for schools all over the country are available, sometimes at very minimal cost. For example, the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) is a non-profit group that does just this; another is the Anti-Defamation League. Your action may wind up not only serving you, but also inspiring others around you to be open about themselves as well.
Other Resources
You can use some of the above strategies to reach out in advance to other helpful people in your community. For example, if your neighbors say or do something threatening, you can contact the local crime victims division of your police department and put them on notice. Just in case, you might also want to research what kinds of services are available for crime victims in your area (listed under hospitals, social service agencies, and community centers in the phone book), as well as what the hate crimes legislation is in your state.
Many other national and local organizations exist that can provide strategizing help, emotional support, legal advice, and socializing opportunities, including:
A website peer counseling, information, and referral line that can direct you to other organizations nearby.
Student Pride USA is a for youth, by youth project working to support and help network Gay/Straight Alliances, and similar youth/student groups, across the nation. Only a few years old, Student Pride USA has worked to support over 700 groups by providing resources, materials, support, education, trainings, and connections on a daily basis.
This is the National Coalition for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth, which has some great information, including a school resources library that can help you make your school a more welcoming place for all students.
Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund (LLDEF)
The nation's oldest and largest legal organization working for the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV/AIDS has a special section on school-related issues on their web site.
By developing allies and planning in advance how you would respond if homophobia were to rear its ugly head, you have access to more options and control. It can also help reduce your parents' fears by giving them an active role in keeping you safe. Plus, you're likely to make some new friends, and gain some information and confidence in the process as well. Also, know that when the time comes, you can use some of these same skills to find and contribute to one of the many communities out there where you'll be accepted and valued for who you are.
Best of luck,Alice!

10 Comments | Copyright: India-Forums.com / TellyBuzz
TellyBuzz spoke to Simran Kaur who was last seen playing the role of Anamika in Sony TV's Anamika to know more about her Sunday plans and the meaning of Sunday according to her.
Let's see what Simran has to share with us...
Sunday for me is: Right now when I am at home and not working then it's a family time for me because my dad gets an off on Sundays. I try to cook something for my family.
On a Sunday I: I look forward to spend some time with my family. I cook for my family and then post evening, I prefer to go out because I know that I won't be getting too much of traffic outside.
A perfect Sunday for me is: Little time for myself, little time for my family and little time for my friends. I think Sundays are fabulous for me.
On a Sunday I get up at: I am just the opposite of early to bed and early to rise. I sleep in the morning and get up in the afternoon (laughs). I love to sleep and love to eat. I wake up then I start preparing everything for dinner.
My Sunday special Khana is: Anything! These days, sea food festival is happening at my home so I am having that. I am trying to eat healthy now.
My childhood memory related to Sunday: Sunday used to be a very special day for me as I didn't like to go school. I was a big foodie and a chubby kid. I had a passion for eating so I used to have lots of food cooked by my Mom.
After Sunday, comes Monday and my feelings are: No family time because everyone gets back to their work so it's all about meeting friends. Like a New Year resolution, I also make a resolution on a Sunday that I should start a healthy diet from this week.
My plans for coming Sunday: I will buy a steamer so that I can prepare steamed fish.

Okay, I evented a cheat code system some time ago, it's fairly simple to set up.
First, create two new actors.
second, create an event that allows you to edit the first actor's name.
After that you need to to make sure the second actor gets the same name as the first one and clear the first one's name.
Then you have to make sure that whenever you access the PC, you'll be asked to change the name of the first actor. if that ones matches the name of the second one, you'll be granted access.
Hope this helps you
I've tried this using the database but the scripts Maruno has made won't allow it to work. is that what you're talking about?
Show us what you have, then. Screenshots help.
is this directed towards me?

Among those employed in S&E occupations in 1999, 85 percent of women and
86 percent of men had either a bachelor's or master's degree as
their highest degree. (See appendix table 6-1.) The occupations of these nondoctoral
scientists and engineers, as is true for all of those employed in S&E,
differ by sex, with women constituting the majority of people in some S&E
occupations, and men the majority in others. For example, in 1999, almost two-thirds
of all social and related scientists whose highest degree was a baccalaureate
were women. Men, on the other hand, constituted 90 percent of the engineers
and 73 percent of the physical scientists and computer/mathematical scientists
whose highest degree was a baccalaureate.
Asians employed in S&E occupations are less likely than members of other
racial/ethnic groups to have a bachelor's or master's degree
as their highest degree conferred: 80 percent of employed Asian scientists
engineers had either a bachelor's or master's degree as their
highest degree in 1999, compared with between 86 and 90 percent of all other
groups. Higher proportions of Asian scientists and engineers than of other
racial/ethnic groups held doctoral degrees. (See figure 6-2
and appendix
table 6-1.) Similar percentages of those in S&E occupations with
and without disabilities (84 and 86 percent, respectively, in 1999) have
a bachelor's
or master's as their highest degree. (See appendix
table 6-3.)

RESCUING AN ENTANGLED GRAY WHALE | Hugh
In my over 20 years of being involved with marine mammals I've had some memorable moments. One of the most memorable was the day back in the early 1990s when a whale research crew that I was part of helped a Bay Watch Lifeguard rescue an entangled gray whale just offshore of the cliffs of Point Vicente. The following story is about that day.

Green Snowflakes | Guest Blogger
Guests visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific during the holidays have noticed our beautiful snowflakes hanging throughout. They are always surprised to find out that they were made by staff and that they are easy to make yourself. Not only that, they are a great way to use up those old plastic six-pack rings!

How To Pet A Porcupine | Hugh
The wonderful benefit about having various program animals around the Aquarium is how much you can learn from them. For instance, before I met one of our new program animals my perception of all porcupines was that of a slow awkward ground dwelling creature that was bristling with sharp needles pointed in all directions that was just waiting to impale your body. Needless to say that I was also sure that porcupines did not possess Positive Thigmotaxis like sea lions and did not like to be touched. Then I met Tito the porcupine.

A CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH BOBCATS | Hugh
The watershed of Southern California through its rivers, creeks, and washes, feeds wetland areas that support biodiversity within our urban environment. These wetlands help maintain an environmental food chain that runs from the tiniest worm and plant to high end carnivores On a walk through one of these wetlands earlier this year, my wife Pam and I encountered one of these high end carnivores in the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine, California.

Hello all. Greetings from Mexico.
I´m attempting to tune-up a friend's netbook.
Running XP Home
Wireless is Realtek RTL8187B and it is not seeing any networks at all (and I know my network is running, as are 3 or 4 nearby).
24 hours ago it was working more or less OK although a bit unstable and has now given up the ghost.
Reinstalled latest driver per Realtek's site; no result. Not a single network is visible.
Wired Ethernet works fine.
Any way to verify via software if the card is fried? (no way am I going to try and open the machine).
Thanks in advance...

This review is from: EVGA TEGRA NOTE 7 Tablet - 16GB Flash, 1GB RAM Quad Core NVIDIA Tegra 4
Pros: * Plays games
* Comes with 16GB of hard drive space
* Sound is really awesome
* Screen is beautiful
* Got the Nvidia Hawken Live Wallpaper = Even more awesomeness
* The pen is used a lot and works wonderful for me
Cons: When I first got it, I had to send it into EVGA for tech support, reason is because the battery wouldn't hold a charge. Meaning I got to play around with it about 3 hours while it was on the charger not charging. I got it back finely with a full battery - Love EVGA support, just wish they have live chat support.
Other Thoughts: Sending it back to EVGA through USPS took some time due to a holiday, after the holiday it got there, site did not up date - 3 days pass and I got nervous, after another two days it finely updates and was pending for shipping.
I had to wait some more for the Awesomeness, it is worth it!

Pros: No FPS Drop from what I had
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I got this video card to replace a AMD Radon HD 7770GHz Edition (that replaced a EVGA SuperClocked 470) and hated the FPS loss I got, Grab this to replace the bad and now I felt bad because I grabed the 7770 instead of staying EVGA!READ FULL REVIEW

BreakTime BreakDown 20May2014 – Michael Buble Gets Tooth Knocked Out During Tour
BreakTime Breakdown takes a look at whats going on around Hollywood and the world.
Here are today's.
BreakTime Breakdown takes a look at whats going on around Hollywood and the world.
Here are today's.
We still don't know what exactly caused Solange Knowles to viciously attack Jay Z in the elevator after the Met Gala, but Beyonce is putting on a united front, posting several photos of herself with her sister on Instagram today, May 14.
Beyonce's 'Standing on the Sun' impacted our worlds last year when it was featured in an H&M commercial. Remember when Bey's bootylicious body was poured into the discount retailer's bikinis last summer? We know, those images were rather impossible to forget. But back to the matter at hand. The full version of the song has landed online.
Warning: This video contains portrayals of eating disorders that may be triggering to some.
There is a reason that the entire world is head over heels in love with Beyonce. In addition to her killer vocals, sick dance moves and insane ability to surprise the world with a brand-new album, she is not afraid to give a voice to those suffering, and boldly speaks out on the problem with body image in our society in her 'Pretty Hurts' music video.
BreakTime Breakdown takes a look at whats going on around Hollywood and the world.
Here are today's.
Time Magazine has carefully selected 100 of the most influential people in the world for their upcoming iconic issue, but it is Mrs. Carter -- Beyonce herself -- who has graced the cover, looking just as gorgeous as ever in a white two-piece with a sheer overlay in the black-and-white shot.
You don't want to mess with Lily Allen. In her bold new music video for 'Sheezus,' the title track off of her upcoming album, the outspoken British singer gets a little psychedelic and freely shouts out -- and even throws a little shade -- at her fellow female pop stars.
Sure, we'd love to hear John Mayer cover his ex Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' or 'Unconditionally.' But that's not likely to happen, so we'll "settle" for being blown away by his acoustic cover of Beyonce's 'XO.'

Wanted - Marryat MR-9 - Spool
Looking for a Marryat MR-9 extra spool, color bronze.
This is the largest fly reel made by Marryat saltwater/salmon model. It is still being sold new today by a limited number of dealers. I could buy the spool from Marryat new but am checking to see if any thing used is available first.
The reel was purchased new in 1984. Its serial number is 594400. I have technical contacts at Marryat to determine if the spool would fit this model number should one be available.
Contact by PM or e-mail.
Trying again
There must be some one out there with one of these ?
If not it may be new reel time soon.
Well its hard to beleive but I must be one of the few ones with
a Marryat fly reel.
No responses in 8 months.
Guess I will have to buy at full price ($125 last time I checked ) another MR-9 spool or buy a different reel.
Oh well, I tried. :( :(

Arab League halts observer mission in Syria
BEIRUT The Arab League halted its observer mission in Syria on Saturday because of escalating violence that killed nearly 100 people the past three days, as pro-Assad forces battled dissident soldiers in a belt of suburbs on the eastern edge of Damascus in the most intense fighting yet so close to the capital.
The rising bloodshed has added urgency to new attempts by Arab and Western countries to find a resolution to the 10 months of violence that according to the United Nations has killed at least 5,400 people as Assad seeks to crush persistent protests demanding an end to his rule.
The United Nations is holding talks on a new resolution on Syria and next week will discuss an Arab peace plan aimed at ending the crisis. But the initiatives face two major obstacles: Damascus' rejection of an Arab peace plan which it says impinges on its sovereignty, and Russia's willingness to use its U.N. Security Council veto to protect Syria from sanctions.
Syria's Interior Minister Mohammed Shaar vowed the crackdown would go on, telling families of security members killed in the past months that security forces "will continue their struggle to clean Syria's soil of the outlaws."
Government forces launched a heavy assault on a string of suburbs and villages on the eastern outskirts of Damascus, aiming to uproot protesters and dissident soldiers who have joined the opposition, activists said.
Troops in tanks and armored personnel carriers attacked the suburbs of Kfar Batna, Saqba, Jisreen and Arbeen, the closest of which lie only a few miles from downtown Damascus, said the Local Coordination Committees activist network and the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Dissident troops were fighting back against the attackers, they said.
In a nearby suburb, Douma, gunmen ambushed a bus carrying army officers, the state-run news agency SANA, calling the attackers "terrorists." It said seven officers were killed.
The assault in the suburbs seemed to be a sign of the growing presence of dissident soldiers closer to the capital. Although the tightly controlled Damascus has been relatively quiet since the uprising began, its outskirts have witnessed intense anti-regime protests and army defectors have become more visible and active in the past few months.
"The fighting today is the most intense near the capital since the uprising began," said Rami Abdul-Rahman who heads the Observatory for Human Rights. "The Syrian regime is trying to finish the uprising militarily now that the case is being taken to the United Nations."
In Saqba, electricity and phone lines were cut off and mosque loudspeakers told residents to say in lower floors for fear high buildings might get hit in the fighting, said Omar Hamza, an activist in the district. "Random shelling and sound of explosions terrified the people," he told The Associated Press.
He said army defectors had managed to stop the advancing troops. The regime forces are putting all their force to finish the Free Syrian Army and protesters in the Damascus suburbs," Hamza said.
The Free Syrian Army force of anti-regime military defectors is based in Turkey, and its fighters frequently try to cross into Syria through the mountainous border area in the northwest. SANA reported that Syrian troops prevented gunmen from crossing in from Turkey on Saturday in fighting that it said left many of the infiltrators killed or wounded.
The LCC and the Observatory also reported intense fighting between troops and defectors in the town of Rastan near the restive central city of Homs.
The Observatory said at least 36 people, were killed across the country Saturday, including 17 civilians, three defectors and 16 troops, while the LCC said 20 died, half of them in Homs province, which has been one of the areas hardest hit by government crackdowns. The new deaths come after two days of bloody turmoil killed at least 74 people, including small children.

Noise nuisance in Albouystown
Dear Editor,
I wish to draw the authorities attention to an on ongoing noise nuisance problem at Curtis Street, Albouystown.
Every Sunday night music could be heard blaring from the large speaker boxes until the early hours of Monday morning. This has been ongoing for months. I have reported the issue on several occasions via telephone to the Ruimveldt Police Station including last Sunday night, but this has proved to be an exercise in futility as the 'dance' usually continues after 4 am. Whether they actually dispatch the patrol as promised is unknown.
Apart from being a major noise nuisance, the bass from the speakers causes car alarms to constantly go off, forcing persons to turn off their alarms and leave their cars at risk.
One wonders if and how these individuals could be given permits to hold a loud outdoor event on a Sunday night. What is even more puzzling is that during the night police patrols traverse Albouystown and surely they must hear this deafening noise.
I am therefore calling on the relevant authorities to investigate and address this problem urgently.
Yours faithfully,
(Name and address provided)

One person was taken to a hospital and 25 people were arrested at an underage drinking party in a Center Grove area neighborhood.
The teens had blood alcohol contents ranging from 0.02 percent to 0.12 percent, and one teenager was taken to Community Hospital South when he was found unconscious in the home late Friday. Police later met with the teen and his parents at the hospital, where he was recovering.
Nine people ages 18, 19 or 20 were arrested for possession and consumption of alcohol as a minor at the party. Police arrested a 10th man who was riding in a vehicle leaving the area and told police he was at the party earlier, according to police reports.
Fourteen juveniles were caught drinking, arrested and sent home with their parents, Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox said.
The teen who hosted the party, Austin Lohman, 18, was arrested on a felony charge of residential entry because he did not have permission to be at the house where his mother and stepfather live.
Lohman's stepfather called police late Friday and told them that he thought his stepson had broken into the house in the 4800 block of Brentridge Parkway. Lohman hadn't lived at the house for about four years and the homeowner told police he suspected that Lohman was having a drinking party at the home.
He had been alerted by a neighbor.
"I'm pretty proud of the neighbors that called the homeowner that was out of town. We don't always get that help. It's a tough thing to do to a son or stepson and we appreciate them calling to let us know about it," Cox said.
"We like that type of cooperation obviously because at that underage drinking party we found an unconscious youth. And you don't want to miss parties like that and have that child not wake up the next morning because the other kids didn't get them the care they need," Cox said.
Several Johnson County Sheriff's Office deputies surrounded the house. When they knocked on the door, several people tried to run out of the back door but were stopped by police. The people inside the house also closed the garage door, which was partially open, when police told them to raise it.
Lohman came out of the house and told deputies that he stayed at the house off and on and had permission to be there. A deputy called his stepfather again, and his mother, and both said Lohman did not live at the house and did not have permission to be there.
Lohman told sheriff's deputies that he attends Franklin Central High School on the southside of Indianapolis and that he wanted to have the party at his mother's house because it was close to Center Grove High School. The Franklin Central boys basketball team had played a game at Center Grove on Friday night.
Deputies arrested the nine adults and called the parents of the 14 juveniles, according to a police report. Officers also smelled burnt marijuana in the house and recovered drug paraphernalia from the garage.
A deputy also stopped a vehicle being driven by a 17-year-old girl at 1 a.m. near county roads 1100N and 500W. She told police she had picked up her friend's boyfriend, 18-year-old Michael Thomas, from the party. Police gave Thomas a breath test, which registered 0.09 percent, and arrested him, too, according to a police report.
The 10 adults arrested include:
Austin C. Lohman, 18, 6340 E. Thompson Road, Indianapolis, residential entry, $3,000 bond.
Zachariah O. Blanchard, 18, 6323 Feather Run, Indianapolis, minor possession of alcohol, $1,000 bond.

Re: New XZ-2 problem?
Thanks to all for your reply's.
Thought I'd get an XZ-2 to backup my E-M1, but that looks as if it will
have to be put on hold. The store only had this one, and I'm off to the
UK next week. Back it goes today.
Thanks again.
