Secrets of Success
Saying No Choice to Unplanned Eating: Beck Day 16
Sunday, February 13, 2011
Yesterday's experiment with entering all foods and exercise into the Spark nutrition and fitness trackers the day ahead went quite well.
I had forgotten to enter my usual post-cross country ski granola bar (PC peanut butter) into the nutrition tracker: I could have added it as "unplanned eating" but chose not to, just didn't have it. It turned out to be a bitterly cold day with gusting winds (sunny, though, with sparkling sparkling snow) and our friends opted not to brave the highway to join us. So instead of the planned 90 minutes, DH and I skied only for 60, and didn't go for lunch at the club after. In fact, I somehow didn't get around to eating lunch at all: headed out for a little Valentine's Day shopping instead! (Mike will be opening a new cross-country "wicking" turtleneck, red, tomorrow!! We are soaking wet after skiing -- it's such amazing exercise).
I was zooming around at a fast clip for 2 hours and so removed 30 minutes skiing time and clocked some of that into the fitness planner instead as walking time -- After I had located gifts, cards and wrapping (and a bottle of red wine for tomorrow's dinner) I also spent (oh, self indulgence) some time trying on clothes!! Love doing that as an effective distraction from eating, and it sure works for me. Did not buy anything!! Was somewhat tempted by a black leather 3/4 sleeve swing blazer (marked down from $500 if you can believe the tag to $70) but opted against it. Decided that it didn't really flatter my figure, a bit "boxy". Also tempted by a gorgeous squashy bright red leather shoulder bag with a heart pendant, marked down from $300+ to $74: and again, resisted. Simply don't need it. Tried on a very form fitting navy jumper (or dress) which looked terrific but again, opted against it: the material was just that little bit shiny and "cheap" looking (marked down from $180 to $30). And a tiny bit short in length, maybe: okay with opaque tights but I don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb!
So: about 4 pm ate the chicken I had scheduled for my lunch salad at the club (sitting down, savouring every bit) just before we went out to buy groceries, and just skipped the rest of lunch altogether. Enjoyed my chicken barley soup for dinner with yogourt and berries as planned, lite PC hot chocolate also. Husband and son were enjoying a roast beef dinner: I don't eat roast beef, but was tempted by their crispy roasted potatoes!! However, they were not in my meal planner so that was an easy decision: no choice. Distracted myself by leaving the room: and they (bless them) tidied the kitchen and wrapped up the left overs so I didn't have them staring me in the face!! Went to the computer and planned today's meals and fitness (yesterday) instead: I could, of course, have planned leftover roasted potatoes for today but decided that I didn't actually want them enough to "pay" the calories.
I seem to be getting into a breakfast omelette riff to boost protein but I don't want to worry about cholesterol if I eat eggs multiple times a week. So I bought cartons of the naturegg Omega Pro (50 calories for 1/4 cup, only 10 mg cholesterol) and the naturegg Simply Egg whites (1/4 cup 30 calories) and this morning made my Greek feta and spinach omelette with these. And I've clocked in a Greek omelette food grouping as well, which will make meal planning even easier going forward. Sure love my mixed veggie and chopped fruit food groupings: very handy to click once, then edit out or add items (avocado, say, or fresh cherries) that I don't have every day!! Beck and Spark are very compatible.
Saying No Choice to unplanned eating is actually a big relief. There are, as Beck says, lots of things we have no choice about and we accept those issues pretty matter-of-factly. I don't ask myself if I feel like having a bath or brushing my teeth or going to work or paying my bills. I don't struggle over it. And: I don't have to struggle over eating if I plan ahead and tell myself I have no choice about unplanned eating.
Of course I know there will be times when I do eat unplanned foods. And then it's going to be important to pull out card 18 and Get Right Back on Track.
"if I eat something I shouldn't have, I haven't blown it. It's not the end of the world. It's just a mistake. Get back on track this minute! Don't keep on eating! That makes no sense. It's a million times better to stop now than to allow myself to eat more."
Yeah. I'll be using that one for sure. I know it.
But for now -- time to go skiing!!

Awesome restraint in all areas!! Way to work your exercise in spite of the conditions!
I have enjoyed egg whites for a couple of years now, they are so light and fluffy, and I can no longer stand the taste of whole eggs. I do have baked potatos, but pick out small ones red or white.
Have a Fabulous Valentine's Day tommorow!

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.?- Arizona outside hitter Jennifer Abernathy has been named Pac-10 Volleyball Player of the Week for Sept. 7-12, after leading Arizona to a 3-0 record and the championship of the Four Points University Plaza Wildcat Classic. This is the second time in her career that Abernathy has received the honor.
Abernathy, a junior from Antioch, Calif., was named MVP of the Wildcat Classic after leading No. 19 Arizona to upsets of No. 9 Pepperdine and No. 18 Louisville. It was the first time since the 2001 season that the Wildcats recorded back-to-back wins over ranked opponents.
In Arizona's sweep of Pepperdine, Abernathy finished with 21 kills on 42 attempts with only five errors for a .381 hitting percentage. In the championship match against Louisville, she recorded her third double-double of the season with 19 kills and 12 digs.
For the week, Abernathy collected 50 kills (5.00 kpg) with 22 errors on 111 attempts, while notching 25 digs (2.50 dpg). She collected a total of 53.5 points (5.35 ppg).
On the season, Abernathy averages 4.36 kills and 2.16 digs per game.

Each year the grandaddy of ski pubs Ski magazine publishes the results of its annual poll of subscribers. And once again Deer Valley was voted the number one resort n North America. That's five years in a row of beating out heavy hitters like Vail and Whistler.
Deer Valley is awesome. And it really is one of the cushiest places to ski in Utah for sure. That 20,000 Ski readers voted it number one, again, says a lot about the demo of the average Ski subscriber. It's not about steeps for them, it's about groomers and easy access. To be fair, DV has some great powder stashes and still-relatively unknown tree runs and steeps in it's back pocket. But its pretty well understood that all of the PC resorts are more open and less steep than their cousins in the Cottonwood Canyons, especially Little Cottonwood's rugged hills. It's a factual matter of topography.
And when I ski the DV, I am not going there for the steeps. I'm going there for the comfort. I'm always amazed at how simple everything is on that hill. Skiing, in general, is kind of a hassle, lugging gear, etc. But at DV, it just all flows. There are lifts EVERYWHERE, fast ones. And you are never far away from a Green Jacketed DV employee who will answer any question you have. I don't go to DV to rip it up or challenge myself, I go there to cruise and hang out on "the beach." At DV it's more about the lifestyle and ease and its obvious Ski mag readers want more of that.
Congrats DV. We'll be looking out for the bragging bumper sticker.
Oh also:
Park City Mountain Resort also garnered the honor of best resort for a family vacation (named by Ski editors) and the number six slot in the readers' poll.

Many users who are using Windows 8 Developer Preview face many problems in the pre-beta release of natural levitra Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8. Among those problems is the Internet Explorer not running in full screen from Metro-UI.
I was also facing the buy zetia uk the best choice same problem and every try to configure the full screen mode was in vain. I was even starting to think of installing a new copy of Windows 8 Developer Preview. But, fortunately on my last try to fix the www.gadsdenmetro.com problem I was successful and was enable to run full screen IE from Metro-UI.
We thought some others might face that problem so here is the solution but before stating the solution I am explaining the problem I faced.
- Windows 8 Developer Preview supports a full screen IE designed specifically for touch screen devices. The full screen IE can be run from Metro-UI by clicking/taping the IE tile.
- Whenever I clicked the IE tile it took me to desktop and opened the vv-noordwolde.nl regular IE in Windowed mode, the one found in the previous versions of Windows.
- Whatever you do, IE will would open up in the windowed mode and the normal interface would be shown
Why this problem is occurring:
- After applying about hundreds of different methods to fix the problem I finally found the problem and was shocked to see the result.
- I installed some other browsers and accidently set the one as default. So, IE was no longer the default app to open up all the HTTP files.
- This resulted in the windowed mode of IE instead of full screen mode in the newly designed IE interface
How to Fix the Problem:
You can fix the above mentioned problem by opening up the IE from desktop in Windowed mode
- After opening up IE 10, go to settings menu by clicking the gear icon on the top right corner of issues your browser and click 'Internet Options'. (Refer the image)
- A pop-up window will open showing many tabs. Go to 'Programs' tab
- In the 'Programs' tab click 'Set Associations' from the 'File Associations' section, it should be the first one from top
- A new pop-up window will open requiring you to 'set associations for programs'.
- Choose 'Select All'. Choosing all files is necessary to run IE in full screen mode from Metro-UI
- Click save at the buy levitra on-line end at the bottom of the windowsand you are done
- Now, open-up IE from Metro-UI by clicking the IE tile and viagra without a presciption we recommend your full screen IE would open
- That's' all

Photos: US Supreme Court reviews Arizona immigration law
Posted by mleyba on 04/26/2012 11:25am MDT tags: Photo
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday over a tough Arizona law that requires police to check the immigration status of people they stop for any reason — a hot button issue in the U.S. that will likely impact on this year's presidential race.
Civil rights groups say the Arizona law and similar ones in a number of other states encourage racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping, while supporters argue the states are doing the job of a federal government that has failed to adequately deal with the 11 million illegal immigrants currently in the U.S.
The court is expected to issue its decision in late June, but regardless of the outcome the debate will likely have an impact on the Nov. 6 presidential elections.

Junk Food, Rotting Teeth
It seems middle schoolers have got some nasty teeth and soft drinks and sweet juices are to blame. Robert Preidt of HealthDay News reports:
"This study is important, because it confirms our suspicions of the high prevalence of dental erosion in this country and, more importantly, brings awareness to dental practitioners and patients of its prevalence, causes, prevention and treatment," study co-author Bennett T. Amaechi, an associate professor of community dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, said in a prepared statement.I can still hear my mom saying, "I'm not buying you juices boxes! That's junk."
Amaechi led the San Antonio portion of the study, which also included researchers at Indiana University and the University of California, San Francisco. They looked at 900 middle school students (aged 10 to 14), and found that about 30 percent of them had the condition.
Dental erosion is caused by acids found in many common products, including soft drinks, sports drinks, some fruit juices and herbal teas.

story and photos by Susanna Starr
This condo style resort hotel has something for everyone. Located on one of the exquisite pristine Caribbean beaches in newly developing Placencia, Robert's Grove Beach Resort is the perfect vacation getaway for newlyweds, families with children, retired people and virtually anyone looking for a Caribbean island feeling. Although technically not an island, but narrow peninsula, Placencia has been enjoying the atmosphere of "being discovered" as a Caribbean island. A number of hotels, private homes and, more recently, marinas as well as restaurants of various kinds have been making their appearance.
Robert's Grove has been operating for ten years and the landscaping is now lush and extensive. In addition to the many palm trees that are a necessary part of any Caribbean beach resort, there are many blooming, tropical plants as well as an assortment of old growth trees providing lots of shade between the buildings. The spacious accommodations are housed in a number of attractive two-story tropical style buildings, all with outdoor decks and most with either full or partial beachfront views. They range generally from one to three bedrooms but it would be easy to accommodate larger groups, using both upper and lower levels.
All the accommodations are designed for convenience and especially comfortable for longer stays with a refrigerator and stove as well as dishwasher in each unit as well as all the usual small kitchen appliances, looking sparkling new and very clean. With the two bedroom unit, a large living room/dining area/kitchen separates both bedrooms, each with its separate bath, a nice feature for two couples or families.
All the usual water sports are easily arranged and kayaks are available to their guests. Fishing, snorkeling and diving excursions can be set up with the front desk as well as visits to other places of interest on the mainland, all providing guided day trips. Because of its proximity to town, it's an easy bicycle ride for shopping, dining or just a pleasant and fun visit.
The seaside dining room is both inside and outside, providing the opportunity to dine under the stars as well as indoors, facing the ocean. We had lunch and dinner, as well as the light breakfast included in the tariff, outdoors or along their verandah when it was looking like rain. I thoroughly enjoyed the food which, of course, features seafood from the area, but also includes various other choices including some nice salads, with or without shrimp or lobster, when in season.
One night we went to the restaurant at Singing Sands, an affiliate of Robert's Grove, with some new friends we met at the resort, and thoroughly enjoyed dinner in their romantic garden setting.
In addition to the seaside restaurant, there are two more restaurants on the property. Closer to the entry, Sweet Mama's features Belizean food and across the road, on the laguna side, is the marina restaurant. Each one has its own distinct ambiance. The marina restaurant fronts the yachts parked there, providing a distinctly nautical feeling, and the development that's taking place there is now transforming the entire area.
With 52 units on the beach, the new development will add to that significantly with large, individual houses facing the lagoon, each with their own boat slip. There's also a beautiful view of the mountains across the lagoon. Several have already been finished with several more in the final stages of construction. As with the already established hotel, most are already privately owned but not necessarily occupied all of the time, providing the opportunity for short term vacation rentals.
The new owner, Jean Marc Tasse, has been busy refurbishing the resort but now that project has been completed, has turned his attention to the new construction of the houses on the marina. These will increase the number of accommodations significantly as well as establish a high end boating community, complete with restaurant and marina. These houses are also fully furnished, as are the condos on the beach, and tastefully decorated with art and providing all the finishing touches that are aesthetically appealing. All the new owners have to do is turn the key to move in. And those on short term vacations have nothing to do but enjoy the luxury without ownership.
It's always wonderful to see the vision of a single person or a group of persons become manifest. Jean Marc can often be found on site directing the new marina project, the hands-on approach an important factor for its success. Robert's Grove is a prime destination right now and will become even more of one as the newly built marina is completed.

(July 2, 2012)
Over the past year, the WGAW has raised serious concerns about data capping, which is the practice of setting limits on consumers' Internet usage. The issue is heating up in Washington, where the Justice Department has reportedly started an antitrust investigation into whether capping unfairly quashes competition, and elected officials spotlighted caps at the House Communications and Technology Subcommittee's recent session on the "Future of Video."
It's a contentious issue, and one that is extremely relevant to Guild members. WriteNow talked to WGAW Research and Public Policy Director Ellen Stutzman about capping, where the Guild stands and why it matters to writers:
Q: For the uninitiated, can you explain what data capping is and why it is an important issue for the Writers Guild?
ES: Data caps are limits that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) like Time Warner Cable and Comcast and mobile providers like Verizon and AT&T place on Internet usage by consumers. What's most common is a monthly cap that users either cannot exceed or are fined for exceeding. The Guild's concern is that these caps can be used to stifle competition from new sources. Data caps have a disproportionate impact on video, because video consumes more bandwidth than other Internet activities like email or web browsing. As a result, data caps could limit the growth of video on the Internet, restricting opportunities for Guild members. The WGAW wants to promote the growth of a competitive Internet because it is enabling opportunities for members to write, produce and distribute their content as well as employment opportunities.
Q: How would caps affect writers' work?
ES: If consumers are told they have a cap on their Internet use and that if they go over it their service will be cut off or they will be charged more, the incentive is reduced to seek and consume content. Consumers will be less likely to seek out new online programming, stifling a burgeoning market for independent production. Basically what could happen is that the potential market for Guild members' digital work just doesn't materialize because consumers can't afford it.
Q: Why are data caps an inadequate solution for service providers' concerns about Internet congestion?
ES: The argument that ISPs make is that with more people using the Internet there is a capacity issue. We aren't opposed to network management practices that address congestion. But a monthly bandwidth cap is a very crude tool to address time-specific congestion issues. It's like trying to deal with traffic by limiting the number of miles people can drive in a month. That doesn't help rush hour at all. Limiting consumer usage of the Internet also provides a disincentive to invest in additional capacity. If there is no incentive to invest, the Internet stays the way it is. It doesn't grow, and that's bad for all of us.
Q: What guidelines does the Guild want to see established and enforced vis a vis data caps?
ES: We're looking for regulatory oversight into these practices to insure that traffic management is not done in an anti-competitive way. We believe that companies need to come up with other ways to address congestion in real time. We also want to make sure that policies are not applied in a discriminatory way between services that an ISP owns versus those that they don't. For example, Comcast exempts its own streaming service from data caps, but not Netflix. That is a rather clear move to disadvantage a major competitor. These companies have to find better solutions that don't quash new companies coming into the space and don't stifle the growth of the Internet.
Q: What is the WGAW doing to further its position?
ES: When we go to D.C. we meet with federal regulators and elected officials to discuss our concerns and urge action. We also work with our consumer allies on the issue to make clear how data caps hurt both content creators and consumers.

We encourage students to be mindful of social problems such as class inequality, ethnic conflict, family breakdown, and alienation and to think in terms of solutions. Students learn social theory and research methodologies to better comprehend major societal developments and to investigate them. They conduct program and policy assessments. During their senior year, students work closely with a faculty member as they conduct original research for their senior thesis. Our graduates find this training in applied sociology to be indispensable in their chosen careers, for example, as they promote education reform, reduce discrimination in the workplace, and counsel young adults.
In contrast to many Sociology programs, we have a single dedication to the bachelor's degree in sociology. This allows for a more coherent and focused course of study. Our curriculum is designed around the themes of social change and ethics.
The department also offers a minor and an associate's degree in Sociology.
Student Learning Outcomes of the Sociology Major
- Develop and apply a sociological imagination
- Analyze the causes and consequences of social inequality
- Analyze social/cultural diversity and complexity
- Evaluate and apply social theory
- Apply scientific methods in conducting research
- Design, conduct, and present an original sociological study
Student Testimonials
"The classes pushed me to dig a little deeper into myself. It changed my perception on many issues in life."
"The Sociology program challenges you as a person. It makes you think of things or subjects in ways you never would or did."
"Professors take an active interest in their students."

Interdisciplinary Faculty Offer Interpretations of Pope's 'The Joy of Love'
June 1, 2016
FAIRFIELD, Conn.—An interdisciplinary panel of Sacred Heart University faculty members came together recently in the school's Schine Auditorium to offer their respective interpretations of "The Joy of Love: Francis' Apostolic Exhortation." Pope Francis drafted the 256-page document following two synods (gatherings of bishops) at the Vatican, and it represents his reflections on those assemblies. His focus is on pastoral ministry—marriage, family, relationships and love.
Sociology Professor Participates in White House Summit on Working Families
July 2, 2014
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The call from the White House aide came on a Friday morning in June, and on the following Monday, Colleen Butler-Sweet was in Washington, D.C., at the invitation of The U.S. Department of Labor, attending the White House Summit on Working Families. An assistant professor of sociology at Sacred Heart University, Butler-Sweet's road to Washington began at a conference in New York in mid-May. In many ways, though, it had started much earlier thanks to her professional focus on changing families and her specialized work in transracial adoption.
Prof Begins History Project with Irish American Immigrants
May 12, 2014
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Jerry Reid, professor of anthropology and sociology and associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Sacred Heart University, recently began an oral history project with students on the lives of Irish American immigrants. With the help of students from his "Ethnography of Ireland" class, Reid records student interviews with Irish-American immigrants using high-quality digital audio recorders. The recordings and transcripts will then be archived with the Connecticut Irish American Historical Society and, hopefully, at the University as well.

More information to make healthy choices in restaurants
A healthy diet can reduce the risk of major chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers and many Minnesotans are trying to improve their health by making healthy choices.
Beginning in 2012, health reform helps us make better decisions by requiring the chain restaurants and foods sold in vending machines to post calorie and other nutrition information. Adding nutritional information to chain restaurant menus gives customers more of the information they need to make the healthy choice.
- Will I see the new labeling everywhere I eat out or buy takeout food?
No. The proposed rules apply to restaurants and similar retail food establishments that are: (1) part of a chain with 20 or more locations, (2) doing business under the same name, and (3) offering for sale substantially the same menu items in their different locations. If a restaurant or similar retail food establishment does not meet these criteria (for example, is part of a chain with fewer than 20 locations), it can voluntarily register and be covered under the federal requirements. Under this proposed regulation, movie theaters, airplanes, bowling alleys and other establishments whose primary purpose is not to sell food would not be subject to these proposed regulations.
- Will calorie information be posted for food sold in vending machines?
Vending machine operators that own or operate 20 or more machines would be required to post calorie information for food sold in vending machines unless nutrition information for the food is visible while inside the machine.
- When will I see the new nutrition labeling?
Some establishments are already posting nutrition information, but the FDA is scheduled to issue the final rule in November 2012 with the rules becoming effective six months later.
- Where does the information have to be posted?
Calories would be required on menus and menu boards, including drive-through menu boards, and on signs next to foods on display. For vending machines, FDA is proposing that calories be declared in close proximity to the food.
- How will I know if the number of calories posted for a menu item is high or low?
FDA is proposing that 2,000 calories be used as a reference point—the same calorie amount used on the Nutrition Facts panel that appears on packaged foods. FDA is also proposing that this statement include a sentence informing consumers that individual calorie needs vary.

A few weeks ago we asked you guys to submit questions that we could ask one of your favorite Pornstars, Paddy O'Brian. You guys rock! We received tons of really great questions through our Twitter feed, on our Facebook page and here on the blog, thank you!
Just before performing and on the set, porn actor Paul Walker interviewed Paddy using your questions…. check out the video of the interview after the jump. Paul and Padddy have performed together also did a scene together Paddy answered questions about his personal life, his favorite music, how he prepares for his performances and got really personal on some other hot topics. His strong sexy British accent makes listening even that much funner! It might be hard to get 100% of what he is saying, but if you are anything like me, just listening to his voice, understood or not, is a joy! I hope you like the interview as much as I do!
I know you guys are big fans of Paddy so I wanted to let you know that a new scene called Shut up and Fuck, was just released. In that scene Donato Reyes reaches for his phone to text his fuck buddy Paddy O'Brian for a rendez-vous while his boyfriend is sleeping. Paddy shows up and the action begins with a titillating whisper: "Shut up and fuck". You really need to see it, it is awesome and Paddy looks soooo gorgeous!!!
To get you going, check out these photos of the scene after the jump and then click here to see the full scene !!
Let me know how you like this exclusive Adam4Adam Paddy O'Brian interview!!!
Wow! I just LOVE his Thick Beefy Cock! I would LOVE to Suck It, Deep Throat It and Habe My Man Pussy Stuffed with it1 What a Nice Sexy Hunk of CockMeat!
I tried to get through the interview but i had to stop at the question asked if Paddy was straight, or bi. Would someone explain to me why so many so called straight Men star in Gay Porn? And don't say it's just acting, you just can't fake the funk.
Hmm..25 seconds? Was I supposed to buy a subscription to watch the video or was something wrong with the video that it's incomplete? I'm guessing the latter.
Gary the video is right after the jump and its 8 minutes long…
so whn you have sex wit the men do you enjoy it or do you get off and have fun for the thirl
cute but don't speak just fuck me and then say in the end what you think.
gay for pay not hot
The str8 men who do gay porn…its for the money! Apparently men doing gay porn get paid a lot more than doing str8. Same as the women who do anal in porn get paid a lot more than just pussy sex…or if they do double penetration…all for the love of money!
Kinda disappointed my quality intellectual question wasn't asked. All the questions were boring, and have been asked before. Sad!
He is fucking hot but I hate his voice!!!
sparx thinks youre hotter than hell but thos elast pics arent what makes you sizzle
What a tool…..
God is nothing but fair – smoking hot/titanically stupid
pardon activism high horse…fight ain't over yet kiddos. Paddy reminds me Colin Farrell..
is the voice kinda namby pamby…like Quentin or Perez?
Agree with Jace's comment – gay for pay is a real turn off. Also it was shock to hear his thick cockney accent which just doesn't seem to go with his image.
Hey handsome how do I get into porn ?? What has to happen?? Please explain?? I live in Oregon so what do I need to do and who do I contact ??about getting started?? I have some scars one on my face have more throughout my body so yea!! Is that. Problem??
Great body … but that face. Ugh.
And what's with the name? I get that he's British but he doesn't look it and so why not make-up an Aussie name or something that would be a better fit?
He's very good looking but damn, he shouldn't speak unless he gets some pr training.
His accent is very low brow.
straight, my azz.
The real test of how 'gay for pay' he is would be to have him bottom. That would be fun to watch. If anyone has a link to that, post it. I'll check back later. 😉
He answered my question, that was pretty neat.
I can't wait to see his new Falcon movie Rockstar! Looks like a hot movie.
Straight to gay actors choose to manipulate thier sexuality therefore making themselves bisexual or a swinger.
LIke to have him shoot allover my chest!!!!!! 🙂
quite a upfront guy.. i like that.. but i was unaware of the question. i used the same name. as on a4a on here.. i look for the same thing he does
It was great until he opened his mouth then he ruined it………. As for him being straight it is possible the reason why I say this is because in his movies he has never sucked or rimmed or been fucked…So yes he most probably is Gay for PAY.
Hey handsome how is it going. Just want to ask how do you go about getting into the porno industry. I love having sex I think I'm and addicted.
And who said he was our favorite pornstar…? I don't even know him, he sucks and he's Gay— GAY…. Small dick btw, terrible accent , so many things are wrong with this guy, starting with his brain … Lol A4A , next time Should be someone we know , like … Antonio Biaggi or Peto peto Coast, or someone else like those two, not fake ones … Lol
Javanic : you are probably the only one who doesnt know him lol…
The video is no longer working.
The video isn't working but I can say that until he starts sucking dick, I have no interest in any of his films. And that fact that he's "gay for pay" is even more of a turn off. I'm sick of studio's getting these so-called "Straight" guys to do gay porn. It's ridiculous and seeing fools like this just makes gay porn even more of a joke. SMH
cam: the video is an embeded video of youtube, and yes it is working.
Maybe you need to upgrade your computer
Paddy it has to be said is one very sexy hot man , love his cocky east end accent his killer smile and yes that huge cock , would love to meet him a dream come true as I live in London , wish I could have my dream come true xxx

An epic seven-hour Jeffco School Board meeting featured more than three hours of public comment by more than 50 public speakers on May 1. Parents, teachers, students and community members packed the auditorium to capacity at Bear Creek High School, as another 400 would-be attendees were locked out in order to be in compliance with the fire code.
More than 1000 people attended the meeting, but no overflow room was provided for those locked out of the meeting. At past meetings, such as April's regular meeting at the Jeffco Education Center and March's meeting at Golden High School, a second room for the overflow crowd has been available to allow the overflow audience to listen to the meeting as it happens.
Expanding free full-day kindergarten, teacher compensation and the amount of money to put away in reserves continued to be hot topics during the meeting, both in board discussions and public comment.
The issue of full-day kindergarten remained undecided after the board meeting after board member John Newkirk asked district staff to research "the financial impact to provide free full day kindergarten for all those 34 percent" of Jeffco Schools students who qualify for free and reduced lunch. The original budget proposal had been to expand free full-day kindergarten to schools where the free and reduced lunch exceeded 35 percent.
Earlier in the meeting, board member Lesley Dahlkemper made a motion to reinstitute funding for full-day kindergarten expansion to schools with free and reduced lunch rates of 35 percent or higher. Her motion followed a presentation on the school board's goals to improve TCAP writing scores. Those goals include increasing the number of proficient and advanced students to 64 percent at the elementary school level, 66 percent in middle school and 59 percent in high school by August 2014. Dahlkemper asked the district presenters if full-day kindergarten would also positively impact writing scores and help meet the board goals, and was told yes.
Board President Ken Witt questioned the usefulness of full-day kindergarten. "The second and more important question we have to answer… is do we have enough significant success in the implementation of full-day kindergarten … to actually see results? And while I will not make a budget decision based on a 10-minute public comment presentation, I welcome some research by this district to get to the root of the question."
Witt's comment referenced a presentation made during public comment. The group used data from Colorado and within Jeffco to show a correlation between full-day kindergarten and improved student achievement scores.
Dahlkemper's motion to expand free full-day kindergarten failed on a 3 to 2 vote, with Witt, Newkirk and Williams voting against it. The board has until June 30 to finalize and approve the 2014-15 budget.
In other board news, board also approved a new elementary math curriculum, Math Expressions. Math Expressions will replace the current curriculum, Math Investigations. The motion also approved the purchase of materials and professional development training for the new curriculum at a cost of $4.3 million.
How much money to budget for reserves also resurfaced during the May 1 meeting. During the study session that preceded the regular meeting, Dahlkemper made a motion to allocate $2 million dollars to reserves.
Newkirk asked where the $2 million would come from, since all the money had already been allocated. Fellman said it could come from the charter school allocation, because the charters would already be receiving additional equalization funding from the state, as had been reported earlier in the meeting. The finance package passed by the state legislature includes a boost in per-pupil funding for facilities costs at charter schools.
Williams disagreed with a move to take the money specifically from one area, and instead suggested that they could cut a little across the board. "All of our children are important and there's many other areas to take $2 million from," Williams said. "So we can take a little from teacher compensation, from . . ." she continued, but any following comments were drowned out by the audience shouting its disapproval.
"We've already taken dollars from teacher compensation," Dahlkemper said. "We've already reduced teacher compensation by $4 million dollars where you compare a budget we looked at two months ago to the current budget."
The issue of Jeffco School Board attorney Brad Miller's contract was a hot topic again after Dahlkemper tried to add the issue to that night's agenda. She requested a 20 to 30 minute conversation about Miller's month-to-month contract and billing invoices, pointing out items like "research for the board" on the invoice.
"Since all his invoices are being redacted, I believe the public deserves to know how taxpayer dollars are being spent," Dahlkemper said. "I'm wondering who authorized this work and these expenses. When did the board's five members request that research be conducted? I don't remember having that conversation at the board table and I'd love to have a discussion about that."
"And why, Mr. Witt, are you approving these invoices when five members were elected to this board, five members represent Jefferson County, and five members authorize work and provide direction in the best interests of 85,000 students?" Dahlkemper asked. "That's what we need to have a conversation about." The motion failed on a 3 to 2 vote.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
Sweet Potato Essentials
by National Gardening Association Editors
- Most varieties require at least 4 frost-free months to grow big potatoes. Plants thrive in hot weather.
- Start the crop by setting out 6- to 8-week-old slips or draws, available at nurseries in southern states or by the mail, if you are growing your own slips, begin sprouting them about 8 weeks before planting.
- Expect about 1 pound of sweet potatoes for each foot of row under average growing conditions.
- Add about 3 pounds of 5-10-10 (5 pounds in sandy soils) or its equivalent per 100 feet of row and work it into the soil before planting. Also add fine compost or aged manure to provide a long release of nutrients.
- Till the soil to a depth of 8 to 10 inches before planting.
- Unless the soil is very sandy, raise the planting bed 6 to 8 inches to make a ridge 1 foot or so wide.
- After danger of frost is past and the weather is warm (nights above 55° F), set slips 12 to 18 inches apart along ridges or in rows that are 36 to 48 inches apart. Set the slips in the soil to the depth of the first leaves with several nodes (joints) underground. Firm the soil and make a shallow depression around the plant.
- Water beds with a starter solution high in phosphorus. Water beds generously for a few days.
- Control weeds by hoeing or mulch the area 4 to 5 weeks after planting.
- Side-dress 3 to 4 weeks after transplanting with 3 pounds (5 pounds in sandy soils) of 5-10-10 per 100 feet of row.
- Provide deep watering in hot dry periods to increase yields. If planning to store part of the crop, don't give the plants any extra water late in the season.
- See our article Summer's Bad Guys by Charlie Nardozzi for controls of common sweet potato pests such as flea beetles.
- In most central and southern states harvest sweet potatoes in late September to mid-October, or dig up small potatoes at any time. In the North, harvest before any impending frost.
- To harvest, dig roots carefully. Handle storage potatoes carefully, they bruise easily and won't keep well if bumped around. Gently put them in baskets or crates in a warm, humid location for curing.

PEW PEW PEW: Inflatable Minigun Arm Attachment
Doubles as a love doll for serious gun nuts, I'm just saying.
This is a $30 (currently on sale for $15) inflatable minigun arm from ThinkGeek. It makes it look like you have a minigun for an arm. No, no it doesn't. It makes it look like you have a pool float for an arm. Still, anything's better than a regular arm. *sawing arm off* "GW -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I'm sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet -- was this a bad idea? "You really are special needs aren't you?" The state says I'm like, as close as you can get without being able to collect disability.
Hit the jump for a product video of the hand cannon in action.
Thanks to Pyrblaze, who agrees if you're going to attach a gun to your arm it might as well be a megagun.

What grade did your child's school get for the 2012-13 year?
Indiana's school report card is out.
Indiana A-F school grades for the 2012-13 year were released Friday, Dec. 20.
Elkhart raised several of its school grades, including Pierre Moran Middle School, which went from an F to a C.
Mary Feeser and Riverview both made a A grade last year, compared to C's for both in the 2011-12 year.
No Elkhart Community Schools failed, but three — Hawthorne, Mary Beck and Beardsley — received a D grade.
Superintendent Rob Haworth said that he is reluctant to comment on the grades, because he and the school board believe the grading system is flawed.
"We are concerned about the validity and the formula used to calculate the grades," Haworth said, pointing out that the state board of education is working to come up with a new accountability system for schools.
"The current grades, that we are looking at right now, have been figured on the old formula that our General Assembly wanted to change," he said. "Given the flaws with the current formula ... we are still doing the same things we've always done. We continue to see overall, districtwide, improvement in the grades."
Haworth also said that all Elkhart Community schools have improvement plans in place — even the A schools.
Three Goshen schools raised their grade significantly. Goshen Middle School went from an F to a C, and Prairie View and West Goshen went from a D to a B.
Just one Goshen school — Chamberlain — received a failing grade.
Goshen superintendent Diane Woodworth said in a statement that the grades show "significant gains" for the district.
"However, we acknowledge that there is still much work to do in order to build on this growth to continue to raise student achievement," she continued. "We will do this work while maintaining our commitment to developing the whole child and to providing excellence and quality for all Goshen students."
Woodworth joined other local superintendents in stating that the letter grades do not accurately depict the real education that students receive.
Two Concord schools improved last year. West Side and Ox Bow moved up one letter grade. All other Concord schools either stayed the same or received a lower grade than the previous year.
Concord Community High School and East Side held on to their A grades from the 2011-12 year.
Bryan Waltz, director of elementary curriculum for Concord, said in an email that the corporation is pleased with the schools' performance and it continues to review ways to improve it.
Waltz also said that the district does not "put large amounts of stock into the state's grading system, for which the legislature has already mandated change."
"The transparency of an unclear and inconsistent grading system misleads the public," he said.
Wa-Nee schools earned almost all A's, with one exception — NorthWood Middle School received a B. The corporation received all A's in the previous school year.
Tim Bennett, director of curriculum and instruction for Wa-Nee, said that the corporation is pleased with the schools' progress.
"We are looking at what is working and continuing that," he said. "The grades are a reflection of student and teacher hard work and support from parents and our community."
Middlebury schools raised three grades in 2012-13. Heritage Intermediate raised a D to a B, and Orchard View and Middlebury Elementary raised B's to A's.
"Our staff, students, and parents have done a great job with continuing to work together to achieve success," Jane Allen, Middlebury superintendent said in an email. "Our grade reports reflect the hard work done in all of the schools."
Fairfield's grades remained the same as the previous year at all corporation schools. A representative of Fairfield was not immediately available to comment on the grades.
Baugo schools improved their scores. Jimtown High School went from a B to an A, and the elementary and intermediate schools went from D's to C's. A representative of Baugo was not immediately available to comment on the grades.

Princeton Announces 2014 Cross Country Schedules
Men's Schedule
Women's Schedule
PRINCETON, N.J. (6/18/14) - Princeton has announced the 2014 cross country schedules for both the men's and women's teams. With the exception of the October 17-18 weekend, the schedules are identical.
The teams kick start the season against Harvard and Yale in an HYP meet on September 12 in New Haven. It's the first HYP meet for the men since 1997 and first for the women since 2011.
The weekend of Oct. 3 & 4 will see the team split as it has the last few seasons. The team's A squads will head to the Notre Dame Invitational on Friday. The rest of the team will take part in the Paul Short Invitational on the Lehigh campus.
This is the seventh consecutive year the women's team will compete in the Notre Dame Invitational, the alma mater of head coach Peter Farrell. The Tigers finished fith out fo 27 last year, with their highest finish being second in 2008 and 2009. The men head to South Bend for the fourth straight year and had been the third-place finishers each time. The Tigers won the Paul Short race last year, besting 45 other squads.
On Saturday, October 18, the women will get a sneak peek of the national course as it competes in the Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. The men meanwhile will be at the Wisconsin Invitational on Friday, October 17. Last year both meets had equally impressive competition and should let the teams know where they stand on a national level. The women were 10th at Pre-Nats last year with its best finish in 2008 when it won. The men are returning to Wisconsin this year. The Tigers competed at the meet in 2010, 11 and 12 with their highest finish being third in 2010.
The JV squads will represent Princeton on the home course, West Windsor Fields, at the Princeton Invitational on October 18. The men finished third out of 30 last year, while the women competed in two races, the championship and open, and placed seventh and second respectively.
For the fourth consecutive season, West Windsor Fields will serve as the site of the Ivy League Heptagonal Championship. Heps will be held on Saturday, Nov. 1.
The Princeton women had a stretch of five straight Ivy championships from 2006-10 and look to improve off of last year's fourth-place finish. The Tigers return all five scorers from last year, including rising sophomore All-America Megan Curham who was fourth as a freshman. Captain Emily de La Bruyere was 10th last year. Other returning scorers include Kathryn Fluehr, Lindsay Eysenbach and Kathryn Little.
The men's team looks to return to the top missing the win for the first time in four years last year. The Tigers took second, eight points shy of the title. Princeton has its work cut out for it as the team's top three scorers from last year, Tyler Udland, Alejandro Arroyo Yamin and Chris Bendtsen have all graduated. Rising seniors Sam Pons, Matt McDonald and Eddie Owens should be the trio that steps up to fill those shoes.
The NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional is slated for Friday, Nov. 14 at Penn State. The top two teams earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. The men's team earned an automatic bid last year placing second. Pons, Owens and MacDonald were named all-region as each finished in the top 20. The women's team has finished in the top five at Regionals since the current format began in 2003. The Tigers won in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The Tigers were fifth a year ago last year with Curham finishing fifth and de La Bruyere 13th.
The NCAA Championships will be Saturday, Nov. 22 in Terre Haute, Ind. Last year both teams qualified for the national meet with the men placing 22nd and the women 30th. The men's best finish was in 2012 when it was 11th, while the women were fifth at the NCAAs in both 2008 and 2009. Curham became the first freshman in Princeton women's history to earn All-America honors as she finished 30th overall.
The IC4A and ECAC Championships will be held that same day at Van Cortlandt Park. The men's JV squad was third out of 11 last year while the women were fifth of nine.

I used to take many different types of makeup while traveling, but I'm learning. Unless I have hours to get ready for a special event -- and if I'm not jet-lagged and need to use the time for a nap -- I kind of just want something that's goof-proof, doesn't demand perfect lighting and mirrors and works for all the outfits I've packed.
Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms give you a little color and polish, but without a lot of fuss. I was glad to be hosted to experience them! They have nourishing ingredients like shea butter and botanical waxes, come in 9 colors. Those range from the lightest baby pinks to neutral beiges to darker plums. Being soft and sheer, they're all very forgiving and I'd suggest all but the darkest are good for all ages. Adding a nice bloom to lips, all but the darkest can work with a variety of different wardrobe colors. The darkest don't go on deeply, but rather add a sensuous wine-stained look to your lips.
They are packaged in small tubes, enveloped in larger, cardboard tubes. The cardboard shows the colors easily. Inside, the tubes are sealed -- so you know you're the first user!
For the rest of the month of May, the website has free shipping on lip products.

Two companies are hosting fundraising days for Hartford organizations this week. On Thursday, the Whole Foods location on Raymond Road in West Hartford Center will give 5% of their net proceeds to Billings Forge Community Works. They describe Billings Forge as an "AMAZING non-profit located in Hartford, CT!" This doesn't begin to describe all the things that Billings Forge does, which includes work training (including in their bakeries and cafes, both at the original Frog Hollow location and at the Hartford Public Library), classes, a year-round Farmer's Market, and much more. Whole Foods urges you to "do your shopping with us to help support their mission!"
On Sunday, the newest outlet of Bear's BBQ celebrates its Grand Opening with an all-day benefit for the Hartford Public Library, giving 20% of all proceeds to HPL. Adding to the event, the Hartford Hot Several will appear "around 6:00pm" to add some funk and blue satin capes to the evening. If you haven't danced to their enthusiastic music or cheered along, you've missed a great Hartford experience.
Adults can move next door to the Arch Street Tavern (which has a number of tasty vegetarian options on its menus) for the Beat City Beauties' monthly show, which this month will feature two special guest artists. If you get thirsty during the show, Arch Street Tavern offers many options both local and otherwise at their extensive bar.

The clone drama that fans cannot get enough of is finally available to take home. Sarah, Cosima, Allison, Helena and even Rachael are back for a television season that is more dramatic and suspenseful than the first. BBC America first introduced us to "Orphan Black" and Sarah Manning in March 2013. Not realizing the breathtakingly stunning science fiction world they were about to enter, viewers tuned in to see what all of the hype was about. They were treated to the beginning of a gripping story with Tatiana Maslany at the helm expertly portraying multiple characters with an unknown connection.
As we enter Season 2 of "Orphan Black", Sarah is desperately trying to find Mrs. S and Kira, however in her search to locate them she discovers an even more mysterious religious cult who also are trying to obtain Sarah for their own dubious plans. While Sarah is spiraling into her own shady corporation hunt down, Cosima is searching for a cure for her terminal illness and Allison is processing the events of Season 1. Many favorite characters are back including Felix, Paul, Art, Vic, Dephine and Dr. Leekie.
As jaw dropping as the first season of "Orphan Black" is, the second season raises the bar in ways that could not be predicted. Tatiana Maslany's performance is so flawless that you forget that these women are not separate people. Her characters draw you hopelessly into this frightening world and fully invest the viewer to finding out the secret behind their existence.
The glue that holds all of the sisters together is Felix. Expertly portrayed by Jordan Gavaris, Felix is not only Sarah's foster brother; he is the constant support for a group of women who would fall apart without him. Not a physically strong character, Felix is cunning, funny and devoted. Gavaris' portrayal is genuine and one of the best supporting performances on television.
The DVD and Blu Ray release is packed with extras such as deleted scenes, behind the scenes featurettes and character profiles. This release also allows viewers to delve into the minds of creators Graeme Manson and John Fawcett. You learn how some of the most difficult clone scenes were filmed, meet unsung hero Kathryn Alexandre and also learn of a dinner scene viewers are promised in the next season.
"Orphan Black" Season 2 can be purchased at many local stores and online from sites such as BBC America and Amazon.

Learn what you can do to help a loved one deal with MS tests and treatments.
Medical tests and doctors' appointments are a regular part of life for people living with multiple sclerosis. Your loved one will have routine appointments with doctors and different members of their medical team, and MS tests are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment plans.
Exactly which tests are required vary, usually depending on specific symptoms or the stage of the disease. MS tests can range from simple blood draws to more complicated spinal taps (where spinal fluid is extracted from the lower back with a needle) to day-long assessments of mobility and function; it's likely that as multiple sclerosis progresses, your loved one will need more and more physical help and emotional support from you in order to manage such appointments and testing regimens.
Help With Medical Appointments
People with multiple sclerosis may need some help dealing with the basic details of a doctor's appointment. You may need to participate, maybe even take notes, when symptoms are discussed, medications are changed, and orders for lab tests are written. "MS patients often have dexterity [and vision] problems, so they can have difficulty writing or filling out forms and might want a family member or someone else along who can help," says Nicholas LaRocca, PhD, vice president of health care delivery and policy research at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Multiple sclerosis can also affect a person's memory, concentration, and comprehension. It may be helpful to have someone along to keep track of the details about the required tests. Most clinics provide directions for medical tests in writing, but people with multiple sclerosis may still need someone to help them follow the directions and find their way to the lab or clinic where the MS tests will be given.
Help Getting To and Managing MS Tests
People who have mobility issues can find it difficult to get around a large hospital or to get from their doctor's clinic to the lab. "If you go to a hospital for testing, very often there are very great distances that you have to travel," LaRocca says. "And although hospitals are supposed to be accessible, they are not always as accessible as you would like them to be. It may be very tiring for [someone with MS] to navigate long hallways."
Other simple acts most people take for granted, such as going to the restroom, can be obstacles for people living with multiple sclerosis. If medical tests require a urine sample, for instance, it may present a problem for someone with MS if he or she is alone. Often, the person does not want to ask for help from strangers, LaRocca says, and medical personnel are not always available to assist.
Getting onto exam tables or staying in place in front of imaging equipment can also be a challenge for people with multiple sclerosis. "Although there may be assistance around from hospital staff, most people prefer to have someone [they know] around for that," says LaRocca.
In addition to mobility problems, people with multiple sclerosis often suffer from a profound fatigue that hits in the mid- to late afternoon. "This again can be a problem in a medical facility, particularly if you have to navigate long distances," says LaRocca. "That would make it important for a caregiver to be available."
Assisting Before and After the MS Test
A caregiver may also be called upon to help a loved one prepare for a test that requires a special diet or a period of fasting, according to the doctor's orders. And though most tests do not have long-term effects, all carry a certain level of risk. Some MS tests, such as spinal taps, require recovery time.
"Often people need to spend some time lying down in bed. Many individuals get headaches after spinal taps, so the caregiver will have to be there for them during that time," says John Richert, MD, executive vice president of research and clinical programs for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Such tests and appointments can be physically tiring and emotionally exhausting, especially as the disease progresses. And that can make a caregiver's role important in another way: Dr. Richert notes that an informed caregiver can make all the difference by continuing to emphasize the importance of lab and MS tests that help doctors monitor the effectiveness of MS treatment. Though they may pose some challenge, these MS tests are critical to managing the disease successfully.

Five Rules for Writing Good Code
Posted 29 September 2009 @ 4pm in code
1. Write for an audience
Code tends to outlive jobs. When we create code, we are not writing for ourselves, but for an audience of peers and progeny that will look upon it and have to maintain it. Do we want them to do so with awe and respect, or with fear and disgust? Writing maintainable code not only makes our life easier, but the lives of those around us, and garners admiration, praise, and rewards – if not always financial, at the very least karmic.
2. Establish a clean framework for future changes
If we start writing new code, and the pattern we establish is that we've copied and pasted a line across ten functions, what will happen when someone else comes along to add an eleventh function? Let's face it, even the neatest programmers can get lazy. If something has been copy-pasted ten times, it will get copy-pasted for the 11th time, and a year later, when we find out we have to change the logic or content of that line, we are now changing 50 lines where we could have had one. Untangling code is always a lot harder than writing it, and we could have prevented the spread of the copy-paste disease by evaluating our code initially for repetitive statements. Always establish a framework for others to follow by writing clean code that reduces repetition, and encourages maintainability by isolating each piece of logic and content to one spot only.
3. Be brief, self-descriptive, and avoid inline comments
Five line functions with descriptive names are easy to understand. They require no comments. Thirty line functions take quite a bit of brainpower to digest, and usually have smelly comments scattered all throughout trying to explain bits of the function. Hundred line functions are an assault on all that is holy and stink to high heaven. If we see lots of comments interspersed in a method, it is a good sign that the code cannot be easily understood. Break it down into lots of little functions with descriptive names, and all of a sudden our code reads like a very clear and concise recipe, and we find that the comments become redundant. Most comments that live inside functions are parasitic organisms, treat them with suspicion.
4. Follow language standards and community conventions
If we break conventions, the next person to read our code will wonder why we did so. When our code raises questions about its style, the reader may start wondering if there was some specific reason that we coded it that way. Worse, they may perpetuate our unusual style through imitation and copy-paste tactics. This makes code harder to understand and wastes other people's time. I've heard an argument from more than one person that they will code with the style they are comfortable with rather than follow language convention. This is especially true of people migrating from one language to another without investing their time in learning new habits and techniques. Remember that most of the time, we are writing code that someone else will be maintaining. Make their job easier by conforming to widely acknowledged standards, so they don't have to spend any extra mental energy reading through it. It may take we a larger effort initially, but it will pay off with dividends when it comes to maintenance.
5. Really learn the language and the framework
Lots of bad code is written because of language or framework ignorance. If we don't know the framework we use, we might reinvent the wheel or write obtuse code because we're not taking advantage of the conventions and helpers already created for us. No need to be a walking encyclopedia, but remember to occasionally open up that encyclopedia and read through it so that you know at least what's out there. I am sometimes surprised by new things I find in a framework I've used for quite a while, that makes my life a whole lot easier. Don't neglect the docs, and don't neglect to keep up with blogs that discuss new techniques.
I'm not really back, I'm just pretending. That's all for now :)

Noted for being one of the fastest growing and most successful airshows in the country, the California Capital Airshow continues to impress after only its eighth year.
Following a stellar lineup in 2010, showcasing the largest gathering of P-38's since WWII, and then again in 2011 with an emotional tribute to 9/11 and a jubilant celebration of the Centennial of Naval Aviation, the 2012 show left spectators in awe.
The year 2013 will be forever known as the year the military went quiet, but the California Capital Airshow did no such thing. From a jet bus to an Alpha Jet, the show rocked the house! Historically, CCAS memorialized the Berlin Airlift by paying homage to Retired Air Force Colonel Gail Halvorsen, also known as the original Candy Bomber, with a fly over of a C-54 and a personal flight for Col. Halvorsen in a DC-3.
