TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Mitt Romney launched his fall campaign for the White House night with a rousing, remarkably personal speech to the Republican National convention and a prime-time audience Thursday night, proclaiming that America needs "jobs, lots of jobs" and promising to create 12 million of them in perilous economic times.
"Now is the time to restore the promise of America," Romney said to a nation struggling with 8.3 percent unemployment and the slowest economic recovery in decades.
Often viewed as a distant politician, Romney made a press-the-flesh entrance into the hall, walking slowly down one of the convention aisles and shaking hands with dozens of delegates. The hall erupted in cheers when he reached the stage and waved to his cheering, chanting supporters before beginning to speak.
"I accept your nomination for president," he said, to more cheers; then he pivoted into personal details of family life. He recounted his youth as a Mormon, son of parents devoted to one another, then married man with five rambunctious sons.
He choked up at least twice, including when he recalled how he and wife Ann would awake to find "a pile of kids asleep in our room."

For those raised on the toys and cartoons, the poor record of Transformers games irks; giant robots that turn into vehicles fighting each other with guns is the perfect premise for a video game. Instead we got two Transformers movie tie-ins that stank. Now the third Transformers movie tie-in has arrived and once again the Autobots are defending Earth from rampaging Decepticons.
There are plenty of explosions, there's variety between missions and even a few popcorn movie quips for good measure.
Oh and there's transforming too. But not as we know it. Rather than flipping from robot to car, clicking the transform button moves between robot and 'stealth force' mode, where the transformer becomes a weaponised car that would make James Bond jealous.
Not that it drives like a car – more like a hovercraft. It's odd, but works well. Too well in fact, because there's little incentive to take a different form. In car mode proper you can't shoot and can only drive forwards. In robot mode you're more vulnerable to enemy fire.
And vulnerability matters because – for a game likely to attract a hefty number of younger fans – Dark of the Moon is surprisingly tough. Having different controls for each of the three Transformer modes doesn't help, nor does the emphasis on using cover to complete missions.
Transformers is flawed, but that doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. There's an engaging multiplayer mode that comes on like diluted Call of Duty and plenty to keep casual gamers coming back for another blast. It still can't delivers on the promise of the Transformers potential, but fans will lap it up.

Riga (Jan. 16)
Latvian Jewish artisans' organizations, suppressed last year when the Fascists took power, were legalized today by the Minister of the Interior. The Minister officially approved the list of new leaders for the groups submitted to him.
When the Fascists came into power last May, all Jewish working class organizations were declared illegal and a number of Jewish leaders, including Poale Zionists and Bundists were arrested and sent to concentration camps.

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville was detained at LAX yesterday afternoon for having an inert grenade in his luggage. Yahoo! reports that the grenade was found in his bag by luggage screeners, and later determined to not have an explosive or firing pin. Knoxville received a citation and was eventually allowed to board an American Airlines flight to Miami, but he could possibly face prosecution. He explained that the grenade was a prop that he forgot to take out of his bag.

Giant Steps provides an amazing service for members of the community. It attracts students with many different disabilities some of whom drive for over an hour to participate in therapeutic riding lessons. It has a dedicated staff who give many hours beyond those expected of them and has created a community among its volunteers. Giant Steps is a gem of an organization that deserves recognition.
Previous Stories
I have the privilege of spending my work days with children with autism, "at risk" teenagers, veterans, young people with visual and hearing impairments and wonderful groups of dedicated volunteers. Most weeks I feel like I learn more from my students than they do from me. Seeing the compassion they have for the horse they ride, watching them overcome fears and canter for the first time, and seeing them laugh when they feel a bouncy trot. It is a wonderful privilege to witness the growth that happens in just one week spent with the people and horses at Giant Steps. Just this week I saw the joy that one of my students gets from just being able to put her hands on a horse. You can positively feel the excitement coming off her when she waits to mount her horse. In just three classes she has started to halt her horse with some measure of independence. The truly amazing thing is this young rider has both visual and hearing impairments, but what you notice when she is on a horse is that she has a smile that could light a room.
I have been a paraplegic for 32 years. I started riding when I was 9 years old, and was absolutely in love with them as a teenager. When I was injured in a car accident at 21 years old I thought my riding days were over. Now I get to enjoy riding, petting, and talking to my favorite animals because of Giant Steps. They make it affordable and safe for a person like me to enjoy the magic of the horse. Not only do they provide good horses, but the staff and volunteers are so kind and understanding. I know my life is healthy and happy because of the Giants Steps Therapeutic Riding Program!
The instructors and staff, the clients, and the horses all make Giants Steps truly special. You notice right away the joy people experience every time they drive into the parking lot, and it's because of the great and dedicated people who are involved. As a volunteer, I'm constantly amazed at the high caliber of the instructors, firing on all levels during a riding session. They are good teachers, caring task masters, and inspiring negotiators with each client. The riders are learning, trying, and changing before your eyes, benefiting both physically and emotionally from each session. It is a joy and reward to be involved with such an inspiring, well-run, and enriching program.
Giant Steps is truly a miracle. Trained instructors pair with trained horses and create magic for their "students". Movement and balance are achieved. Milestones accomplished. The joy on the faces of the students is a marvelous thing to see. It's magic. It works.
I have been volunteering at Giant Steps for almost thirteen years. Giant Steps instructors work on the individual needs of each rider. The instructors are amazing as are the volunteers. I've never worked with such a caring, loving, talented group. I have seen riders come in wheelchairs and eventually learn to walk. I seen riders come with no speech and begin talking. I've seen riders come with very little upper body strength be able to sit strong and tall. The riders accomplish so much from learning to focus, build upper body strength, develop confidence and learn empathy! It's an amazing organization!
My granddaughter has been riding at Giant Steps for over two years. The progress she has made is amazing. Her cerebral palsy affects the left side of her body so when she first started riding her body leaned to the left and she sagged forward. You should see her now--riding has strengthened her core muscles, she sits up straight and tall and is so proud that she can use her arms and legs to guide her horse. The instructors and other staff are caring and ever so professional. The volunteers are amazing and kind, they know us by name and make my grandaughter feel so welcome. At the end of every lesson my grandaughter is happy and relaxed. We can't say enough wonderful things about Giant Steps.
Amazingly dedicated and hard working group of people getting wonderful results with participants. The physical improvements and the joy they experience are very evident.
Good people helping people with disabilities - that's Giant Steps!I've never seen such a dedicated group of volunteers and staff. They love what they do here, and that makes a huge difference. It meant the world to me that these wonderful people were willing to give of their time to help my child succeed better in life! My son developed a longer attention span, communication skills, and problem solving skills. But, mostly, he learned to have a relationship with his 1200 lb best friend! This organization deserves your support!
What I enjoy most about working with Giant Steps is that we see real results every day and are able to improve the lives of so many people. The caliber of the staff and the volunteers is extraordinary. It amazes me that we are able to serve such a diverse range of people, from all ages, backgrounds and levels of ability. There is a real draw and a very special energy watching our riders in the arena, and witnessing the commitment and dedication of all involved has touched me greatly.

You need both a NAT rule, and a firewall rule. On the inbound NAT page, it
is best if you check "Auto-Add Firewall Rule" Also apply the NAT rule.

I believe the Stephen F. Austin University also has a collection of
Civil War letters from Richard David "Dick" Orton. One of the
newspapers in Nacogdoches published a series of his letters; I can't
remember when these were published, but it was sometime in the mid
20th century. (Richard Orton was a brother of my James Harvey
Haltom's wife, Adeline Orton Haltom.)
The Orton Papers at the University library has at least a couple of
letters written by James Harvey Haltom while he was in the Confederate
Army. If there are others in the library's collection from James, I'd
like to know about them.

During his military career he held positions as Flight Safety Officer, F-18 Maintenance Test Pilot, Senior Instructor Pilot, Instrument Check Pilot and Flight Commander. Harvey has over 30 years of global flying experience, holding Airline Transport Pilot Licenses in three countries. He has flown a wide variety of military and civilian aircraft ranging from light aircraft to the F-18 Hornet and 747-400, and currently flies for a major international airline.
Dave was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and grew up in an airline family. He soloed at the age of 16 and obtained his Private Pilot License on his 17th birthday. Dave is a Certified Flight Instructor, advanced aerobatic competition pilot and past Certified Aerobatic Judge. Dave holds and Airline Transport Pilot Certificate, is type rated in the SA227, MD80, B727, B757 and is an international B767 Captain for a major airline. He graduated from National University in San Diego, California and has logged over 26,000 hours of flight time.
Paul has 25 years of commercial flight experience with over 7,000 hours of flight time in aircraft ranging from a Piper Cub to the Airbus A300. He holds an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate, Flight Engineer Certificate and is a Gold Seal Flight Instructor with single and multi-engine instrument ratings. Paul is a former Captain and held positions during his airline tenure in the Engineering Test Flight Department, Flight Standards Department and Flight Crew Training Department. Paul is type rated in the A-300, CE-500, CE-560XL and G200 and currently flies for a privately-held corporation.
Pete has been flying and working on airplanes for over 30 years. He has an A&P Mechanics license along with an Airline Transport Pilots license. He has over 15,000 hours and in his spare time away from Team Aerostars is a Captain for a major airline. Pete supports Team Aerostars by servicing and ferrying the team's fleet of Yak-52TW's.
The Aerostars have dazzled air show audiences across the country for more than a decade with their interpretation of teamwork, precision and excellence in the air, formation aerobatics at its best! The regular repertoire includes aerobatic day and night performances as well as non-aerobatic event flyovers.
Highlights of the Aerostars' aerobatic performance include tight formation loops and barrel rolls, flown at distances no more than three feet from each other as well as the team's signature maneuvers like the heart in the sky, the twinkie roll and the flip and flop. Combining these maneuvers with the thrill and excitement of the roaring Yak warbird engines provides a truly unique experience to all air show participants.The team's day and night performance lasts an average of 17 minutes.
From high overhead, the Aerostars will perform a 3⁄4 loop to a downward bomb burst. Watch closely as number two and three fly simultaneous 1⁄2 Cuban 8's and end up heading straight at each other. (35- 40 sec before the start of the second maneuver)
From your right a big roundhouse loop in a tight VIC formation. Wings are overlapping 4 feet!!!
From your left/right the team will do a barrel roll in VIC formation. Hardest maneuver to do in formation as the leader is constantly changing his aircraft in three dimensions. The wingmen are definitely warmed up after this maneuver.
Another very difficult formation to maintain due to the lack of visual cues for the wing men
Begins with a half loop with a quarter roll on the down line. The team makes a crossing break followed by a head on near miss pass between 2 and 3
Lead and 2 rejoin for flip and the flop maneuver rolling together in close trail formation while 3 makes a head-on opposing pass.
For the sweethearts in the crowd. Lead and two make a heart with smoke. The heart is completed with the piercing of cupid's arrow.
Line abreast changing to VIC formation during the loop! Immediately followed by a game of follow the leader in a simulated WWII dog fight.
All three aircraft roll together to create braided smoke trails
Lead aircraft inverted while two and three remain in a tight VIC formation. All aircraft roll to the upright Vic formation
The Jay is more than a simulator—it's a flight experience device supporting training, proficiency, and just plain fun! In addition to the free flight mode where you select the aircraft and conditions, the Jay has a scenario mode where you can load a preset scenario and fly it. A scenario could range from a simple flight challenge to a complex flight with multiple potential outcomes.
For example, a magazine article on an aircraft accident could be linked to a mission where the Jay owner flies that scenario. Redbird Media, a company specializing in curriculum for simulation, will create many of these scenarios in partnership with AOPA Pilot and other training outlets and magazines. The scenario exchange will be open to any company wishing to create scenarios for the Jay. A one-button update on the Jay will load the latest scenarios available for free or that the owner has purchased.
The Jay home screen also has a built-in web browser to access scenario add-ons, such as video, or download simulator extensions such as additional aircraft or scenery. The Jay is built by Redbird, a company whose full-motion simulators see thousands of hours of abuse every year. The Jay chassis is metal, not plastic. Control smoothness is paramount. The parts should last indefinitely.
In addition, there are pilot-centric touches. For example, the yoke travel is equivalent to a typical Cessna or Piper single—about three times as far as most plastic flight sim yokes move. The software powering the Jay is Lockheed Prepar3D (pronounced "prepared"). Prepar3D is an evolution of Microsoft's FSX, enhanced and expanded for professional-level simulation, including Redbird's full-motion simulators. This means most of the many plug-ins, aircraft and communities designed for FSX will work flawlessly on the Jay.
Click on the AOPA Jay logo above to visit their website.
Redbird and the Aerostars have teamed up to give air show spectators a chance to try out the challenges of formation flying first hand in our one-of-a-kind simulator trailer. Equipped with 5 Jay simulators loaded with a mission specifically designed for the Aerostars by Redbird.
The challenge starts on the runway at Oshkosh in the front seat of Dave Monroe's Yak-52. Just ahead and to the left is the Yak-52 of Lead Pilot Harvey Meek. After takeoff, the visitor must hold position on Harvey's right wing, while the voice of Aerostars Right Wing, Dave Monroe supplies helpful hints as if he was riding along in the back seat. Completing the entire challenge requires holding position through several tight turns and landing back at Whitman Regional airport.
The simulator trailer will be featured at most of the team's shows and we welcome anyone, young or old to experience the joys and challenges of formation flying. The team pilots regularly visit the trailer, so who knows, you might have one of the pilots looking over your shoulder and giving you helpful advise as you complete the challenge.
On behalf of the men and women of David Schultz Airshows LLC and all of the numerous support staff and volunteers of the 2008 Caribbean Airshow at San lsidro Air Base, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, I wobrd like to thank you for your wonderfbr performances, dedication, and hard work in support of this special event; the Fuelza Aerea Dominicana's 60th Anniversary Airshow.
We appreciate the Aerostars supporting this event which was a positive life changing experience for everyone in attendance. Your inclusion in this event helped to showcase the close cooperation between the United States and the Dominican general public and military personnel as well as 'Vov? a huge crowd of over 40,000 on Saturday and over 70,000 on Sunday. Your performances will be talked about for years by the tens of thousands that got to meet you, see you fly, and be amazed by your team talents.
We look forward to working with you in the future at other airshows and wish you continued success during the 2008 Airshow Season.
The Yak 52TW is a tailwheel derivative of the famous Yak-52 aerobatic trainer designed in the late 1970's. The Aerostars chose the Yak 52TW for its new construction, sturdy airframe capable of withstanding +7 and -5 g-forces and its unique fuel and oil systems that allow for three minutes of inverted flight. The team's fleet of Yak-52TWs are powered by the M-14PF-XDK, a nine cylinder, supercharged radial engine rated at 400 horsepower. More than 2,000 Yak-52s have been manufactured to date.
Even though our aircraft convey the classic warbird look, they are actually only about 12 years old. The team purchased all three aircraft brand new from the factory in Romania and being the first owners is really reassuring when flying the type of maneuvers that we do.

AirVenture visitors can fly formation with the Aerostars aerobatic team in Redbird's custom-built Yak-52 simulator—and maybe the real airplane.
Oshkosh, WI (July 22, 2013) – It takes years of practice to earn a spot in the daily airshow over Oshkosh, but this season visitors can experience formation flying for themselves using a Redbird MX2 simulator at AirVenture. This custom-built simulator replicates a Yakolev 52TW, the 450-horsepower, tailwheel version of the fully aerobatic Russian military trainer flown by the Aerostars. Visitors can just try on the Yak for fun, or experience what it's like to fly formation in the Aerostars flight challenge.
The challenge starts on the runway at Oshkosh in the front seat of Dave Monroe's Yak-52. Just ahead and to the left is the Yak-52 of Lead Pilot Harvey Meek. After takeoff, the visitor must hold position on Harvey's right wing, while the voice of Aerostars Right Wing, Dave Monroe supplies helpful hints as if he was riding along in the back seat.

If you haven't been to Galt lately, stop on by! We have recently seal coated and re painted our 3000'x50' runway.
On the east side of the airport, there is a cabin, stocked fishing pond, and firepit, all available to our hangar tenants. Go fishing for the afternoon, or reserve the campground for the whole weekend....it's up to you. You can even taxi your airplane to the campground for the full "grass roots" experience.
But, what we're most proud of is the fact that our airport isn't just a gathering place for aviators....it's a community. The local EAA, Chapter 932, is very active and coordinates many events. We've hosted flour drop competitions, a Luau, and even "Galtoberfest", just to name a few.
Our events are fun for the whole family (pets included), and separate us from being simply a "place to park your airplane".
We are ALL proud of this airport, customers and employees alike. We are proud to be a part of all of the events that help expand our aviation community.
So, drop in, say hello, and we're sure you'll see what makes Galt a great place to be.

Aviation has fascinated mankind ever since the Wright Brothers first took to the skies more than 100 years ago. Since then advances in aviation technology have made it possible for more and more people to experience the beauty of soaring through the clouds. Taking the controls of an aircraft and learning to fly is a dream that many of us share! However becoming a pilot was and still is a challenging task that demands discipline, courage and the necessary financial resources. Hence for many it remains a dream!
Live Your Dream wants to help turn some of those dreams into reality!
Sennheiser Aviation first started Live Your Dream as a small scholarship competition in 2011. Fueled by the overwhelming level of participation and the quality of submissions Sennheiser quickly realized that Live Your Dream is here to stay. In fact, it was time to turn it into something bigger. When Sennheiser took the idea of a broader scholarship program to some of their friends and partners in the aviation community including us at Team Aerostars, they received nothing but positive feedback and new ideas. Everyone wanted to find a way to support Live Your Dream in the best way possible. Being Live Your Dream ambassadors allows the Aerostars to demonstrate how we lived our dream and what it took to achieve our goals. Sennheiser's corporate supporters are providing valuable prizes to the scholarship winners and are helping to grow the program even further. Live Your Dream has turned into a true team effort and we are thankful for the opportunity we have been given to support the aviation community by getting more pilots into the air.
Ultimately, Live Your Dream is all about living dreams and by knowing we can help someone take to the skies, we are living ours! We hope you will join us on our journey.

The Aerostars are proud supporters of EAA's Eagle Flights, a program created to help everyone interested to discover the fun, freedom and accessibility of personal aviation through a hands-on introductory flight experience with an EAA member pilot in your area. An Eagle Flight is an opportunity to experience all that aviation has to offer.
As part of the team's involvement with the program, our pilots not only participate in local EAA chapter events, taking Eagle Flight candidates on introductory flights but we also had the opportunity to host many soon-to-be aviators in our simulator trailer at this year's AirVenture in Oshkosh.
As a team of passionate aviators we are very excited about our affiliation with EAA's program since we are also all about making aviation as accessible as possible for everyone and we feel the Eagle Flights do just that.
If you are interested in finding out more about the program please don't hesitate to contact us or click on the EAA logo above to find out more.

i dont know how it is in va,but i dont understand the word kook on the east coast.an asshole in the water,who drops in on everyone?theres not enough east coast surfers out there to be called kooks.i look at it like either your a good surfer who wants everyone to respect them but gets no respect,or a beginner who is cool and mellow but pisses everyone else off in the water.i live in jersey.when i get to my break and theres 15 people in the water,which is hardly a crowd,go to swamis,paddle out at pipe!!,i drove 2 miles up the road to an empty sandbar and surf all day long by myself.i dont care what others think of me,i surf because its fun and i have a good time.kinda like smokin pot!!

María Sonia Cristoff
© Gabriel Díaz
María Sonia Cristoff was born in Trelew, Patagonia, in 1965. Since the early 1980s she has lived in Buenos Aires where she studied Language and Literature. For years now Christoff has applied herself to the literature of Patagonia, published Acento extranjero ("Foreign Accent"), an anthology of historical travelogues, in 2000, and the volume Patagonia in 2005, in which various authors portray their villages in southern Argentina. With Falsa calma ("Deceptive Calm"), which she wrote thanks to a scholarship of the Fondo Nacional de las Artes, she advanced to become an outstanding ambassador for the narrative non-fiction of her country. The author writes for the newspaper La Nación on a regular basis.
Falsa calma – Un recorrido por
pueblos fantasmas de la Patagonia ("Deceptive Calm, Patagonia's haunted Villages") is a
travelogue which aims to track down Patagonian conditions of living without
following in the line of Chatwin's creation of myths. The emphasis is not on
the meagreness and vastness of the countryside, which has now almost become a
cliché, but on isolated villages, which are swept through by the winds and seem
like ghost towns at first sight. And so María Sonia Cristoff becomes part of
the village Cañadón Seco, the first stop of her journey. As she waits endlessly
for a bus, she meets people, enters their lives for a short while and listens
to stories. She stays much longer than
intended and it is the sudden aggression of the stray dogs that tells her it is
time to leave. There are recurring moments where the chronicler turns from
observer into the observed. Her refreshingly different report is a blend of
essay and literary narration which includes quotes of old travel reports,
newspaper articles as well as autobiographical elements. It is also a journey
back to her childhood, from which she clearly remembers a general feeling of
being forgotten by the world, which is so widely spread among the people of
Patagonia takes off its mask and shows one of its most authentic facets.
Bajo influencia ("Under Influence") is both a subtle parody on the world of the arts and a story about an era continuously in motion, in which originality has become devoid of meaning. Cristoff's protagonist Tonia, a freelance editor and workaholic, starts to change when she gets to know the passionate walker and wannabe artist Cecilio. Her detailed observations depict a society bordering on the laconic.
In fact, Bajo influencia makes for powerful, ingenious and unpredictable reading.
This novel confirms that Cristoff is an exceptionally artful narrator.
