Lakers shutout Fargo North 20-0
DETROIT LAKES — Detroit Lakes played typical Laker football pounding the ball with an effective run game and the defense recorded a shutout in a 20-0 victory over Fargo North at Mollberg Field Friday night.
"We always have that goal to be the biggest, baddest defense and I think we proved it tonight big time," senior Sam Champa said.
Parker Jackson was a workhorse in the backfield rushing 20 times for 159 yards and a touchdown.
"The line really started pushing and I had plenty of holes," Jackson said. "It made my job easy."
Fullback Forrest Schleske got DL on the board on a three-yard plunge with 11:31 remaining in the second quarter after a scoreless first quarter where the Lakers ran 22 plays to only 10 by the Spartans.
Typical first game jitters kept the Lakers from putting up more points early.
"We just shot ourselves in the foot with turnovers and penalties and you can't do that," Head Coach Flint Motschenbacher said. "Our defense held us in the game until we got going in the second half. We figured it out and started moving the ball in the second half. The defense played great the whole game."
DL went to the break up 7-0 and scored their second touchdown on a two-play drive that lasted all of 22 seconds after getting the ball on the Spartan 37 after a punt return.
Quarterback Christian Hedstrom hit Ryan Cihak with a 19-yard pass and Jackson rumbled in on the next play from 18-yards out to put the Lakers up 14-0.
Fargo North battled the Laker front line trying the get a running game established all of a lengthy third quarter failing to get past midfield.
Sam Champa set up a five-yard touchdown run with 5:07 remaining in the game after a 49-yard sprint down the left sideline to get inside the Spartan 10-yard line. Champa had nine rushes for 94 yards.
"That huge line up front got a lot of push and pretty much opened it up," Champa said.
Jackson and Champa were a steady one-two punch at tailback all game and Motschenbacher chose to run the ball the final ten plays of the game to eat up the clock utilizing a big advantage with his offensive line after DL gave up the ball trying the throw to open the fourth quarter. The Lakers had a big advantage in rushing yards totaling 319 to 80 for the Spartans.
"There's no question those are two good running backs and they both play defense so we have to use them both," said Motschenbacher.
Schleske was crucial in short yardage situations from the fullback position and Ryan Cihak proved a double threat rushing around the end seven times for 60 yards and grabbing two Hedstrom passes for 30 yards.
"I think our depth was the difference in the game," said Motschenbacher. "Those first games you never know. We had to change our style a little bit, but I think it looks good."

Last week saw the killing of 14 and the wounding of an additional 21 in San Bernadino by a County Health Department employee. He apparently left a company training event after some kind of argument, and later returned with his wife, as well as an arsenal of tactical military equipment. The event was a tragedy for the families, the San Bernadino community, and the nation. The scenario itself was also confusing enough that for the first day or two after the attack, the media struggled to determine which frame it would put it in: Was this a terrorist attack or was it a case of armed workplace violence? As the facts become more clear, it is likely to turn out to be both. But the struggle to determine what box it would be put in at first, provides a very clear example of the notion of a "Frame Game." A staple of narrative theory, the notion of framing is that the same set of facts can be viewed quite differently depending on how they are presented. Facts are facts, but the "frame" provided by our language and the larger story is what provides the meaning.
Calling persuasion a "Frame Game" is based on the recognition that both sides in a dispute will try to frame the event in a light that suits their interests. In the San Bernadino tragedy, for example, advocates on one side saw the "gun murder" framing as an opportunity to press for greater gun control based on the argument that well-armed attacks have become far too common in the U.S., while advocates on the other side saw the "terrorist attack" framing as a chance to call for greater security measures at home, more bellicose policies abroad, and potentially an end to planned resettlement of Syrian refugees in the U.S.. That battle over the right frame parallels what legal advocates are trying to do in the typical case. While there is a fair amount of discussion on the importance of frames in the study of human communication and persuasion, there is surprisingly less on what exactly creates a frame. So, based on the interests of legal persuaders, the focus of this post is to share my own thoughts on four qualities that make up a frame.
The Four Corners of Your Frame: Character, Keywords, Context, and Theme
An opening statement is not going to determine jurors' final leaning, but it will establish in a pretty durable way the "This is a story about…" part of the message. In other words, the opening statement sets a frame for the case. So what exactly makes a frame? My own list includes four elements. There are probably more, including some that draw from the fancier neighborhoods of narrative theory, but from a practical perspective, I want to focus on four that should be in the litigator's tool box. In each, I'll be drawing from the example of the San Bernadino shooting, and also using an employment law example involving a case that, depending on your frame, is either about an employee fired because he failed at his job, or is about a company punishing a whistle-blower.
All stories have characters: protagonists and antagonists. The same goes for the San Bernadino story. When we're framing something as another random shooting event, the individual shooter or shooters matter less: Any crazed loner with access to weapons will do. But when framed as terrorism though, the shooters, their motives, and any larger group moves to center stage. In the employment lawsuit example, the main character will differ depending on the frame. The defense will want to put the employee and his failures in the center of the frame, while the plaintiff will want to make the company and its motives into the central character.
How you describe the events and the specific language you use forms the frame. As I've written recently, specific keywords reinforce different values, with terms working together to create a rhetorical universe. In the case of the events in San Bernadino, is it a "crime" or an "attack"? Are its perpetrators "assailants" or "terrorists"? Among the various ways to frame the employment case, the plaintiff will choose words like "grudge," "payback," and "retaliation," while the defense will favor words like "performance," "service," and "customers."
It is not just the events, but also the canvas that they are placed on. The context emphasizes meaning, playing up some aspects of the situation and playing down others. In interpreting the San Bernadino shootings, the media had the choice to either place the attack in the context of the shootings at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic earlier the same week, or to place it in the context of the coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris the previous month. In the employment case, we could see a similar battle for context. The plaintiff will fight for the admissibility of as much information as possible about the company, its motivations, and its patterns involving other employees, while the defense will want to keep that frame of relevance centered on just the employee at issue.
The most direct way to suggest a frame to an audience is to explicitly reference the frame they should apply. A theme does that by telling us what the story is about. In legal cases, the theme is a recurring motif that is built during voir dire or opening statement. In the days after San Bernadino, we heard the same themes emerging from a variety of sources, with the message being either that "This is another in America's unending list of gun attacks…" or "This is America under attack from an outside agent." The two sides in the employment case might similarly battle over the right message. To the plaintiff, we might have a company who "chose to punish an employee for doing the right thing," while to the defendant, we would have an employee who "was given chance after chance to improve his performance but who ultimately said 'no' to the company's help."
The idea of a frame is just one of the contributions of narrative theory to persuasion, but it is a very important one. "Frame" reminds us that story is more than just sequence.

Greece will receive "a $17 billion installment by July 15" to get them through the next few months, according to VOA News. Here is the statement made by Eurozone finance ministers. By the way, the Dow Jones Greece Stock Index is close to testing January 2011 resistance. I will provide a chart update in a new post. Greek stocks rallied along with Greek Government bonds on the austerity news.
"2 July 2011
Statement by the Eurogroup
Ministers welcomed the progress made by the Greek authorities in implementing the policy understandings reached with the European Commission, in liaison with the ECB, and the IMF. In particular, Ministers noted with satisfaction the adoption of key laws on the fiscal strategy and privatisation by the Greek Parliament. Ministers therefore endorsed the Commission's Compliance Report and the signing of the updated Memorandum of Understanding.
The Greek authorities provided a strong commitment to adhere to the agreed fiscal adjustment path and to the growth-enhancing structural reform agenda, which are essential components of our strategy to restore fiscal sustainability and safeguard financial stability. Ministers call on all political parties in Greece to support the programme's main objectives and key policy measures in order to ensure a rigorous and swift implementation.
In line with the 24 June European Council conclusions, consultations with Greece's creditors are underway in order to define the modalities for voluntary private sector involvement with a view to achieving a substantial reduction in Greece's year-by-year financing needs, while avoiding selective default. Ministers took note of the statement issued by the Institute of International Finance on behalf of its members as well as of the commitments that have been made by financial market participants in some Member States. The precise modalities and scale of private sector involvement and additional funding from official sources will be determined in the coming weeks so as to ensure that, inter alia, required program financing is in place. This financing strategy is intended to form the basis for launching a new medium-term programme to support Greece's adjustment efforts
Ministers agreed that the main parameters of a multi-year adjustment programme for Greece will revolve around a continued strong commitment to implementing fiscal consolidation measures as well as ambitious and concrete structural reform and privatisation plans. It will be supplemented by large-scale technical assistance, provided by the Commission and Member States. Against this background and on the basis of the debt sustainability analysis by the Commission and the IMF, Ministers approve the disbursement of the fifth tranche of the current Greek Loan Facility by 15 July following approval by the IMF Board, as originally envisaged."

Normal - Rattata. This thing was everywhere in HeartGold. Every single damn route, trainer and Team Rocket grunt had freaking Rattata. I have no idea how people can give Bidoof or Zubat so much crap when Rattata is so much worse.
Fire - Magby, Magmar, Pansear and Simisear for being ugly and useless pieces of crap. Magmortar escapes this list because it has cannons for arms, that's just badass.
Water - Luvdisc. Terribly weak, stupid design, nothing that makes it unique... This is easily the worst Pokemon ever created.
Grass - Pansage and Simisage. I get that Pokemon is kiddy and aimed at kids, but these monkeys went a bit too far for my taste...
Electric - Dedenne and Pachirichu. I should use those things over Pikachu or Raichu because? Also why the hell do they not evolve? Pikachu evolves, why not these things and their counterparts?
Psychic - Mr. Mime. Luvdisc may be the worst Pokemon ever created, but Mr. Mime shall forever be the most stupid one. There is nothing redeemable about its horrible design, and Gamefreak will have to mess things up real hard to ever create anything as disgusting at this pile of stupid.
Ice - Vanillish. This thing has the stupidest face since Mr. Mime. Shame too, because Vanillite had a lot of potential to turn into something that's not grotesque.
Fighting - Keldeo, I guess. Never seen it in game, but it's design is just blegh.
Flying - Pidgeot. For some reason I hate how this bird was already horrible and completely outclassed by Dodrio, Fearow and even Dux the Farfetch'd(thanks to the EXP boost) in Red/Blue/Yellow and only got worse with each generation. It's design is pretty lazy and boring too.
Poison - I'll go for fan favourite Garbodor here. It's ugly, yes, but I still consider it somewhat ugly cute, which is more then most of the 'mons on this list.
Ground - Garchomp. Normally a really strong Pokemon has a good design and weaknesses, but not Garchomp. I hate using it, fighting it and looking at it.
Rock - Barbaracle. I get what it tries to be, but that doesn't mean it has to be so ugly.
Bug - Mothim, Masqurain, Kricketune... Really anything that stops being useful after lvl 20, if that.
Ghost - Jellicent F. It's so ugly, yet Frillish is so adorable. Why did you have to find out about McDonalds, Frillish?
Dark - Mightyena. The stat distribution on this thing just makes me sad...
Steel - Heatran. It's a red Muk with a helmet 'cept even more ugly.
Fairy - Aromatisse. Same thing as Frillish, really.
Dragon - Garchomp. Again. **** that thing.
They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, and they're behind us. They can't get away this time!
So many people crying of Azumarill... In the past generation, this pokemon only had one trick and now that its a bit more useful in diferent situations people cry about it. With how bad its speed is, its actually not soo hard to kill it. Belly drum even helps you a bit since there is no berry that fully heals you >_>. If your pokemon hits hard enough and do super effective its posible to kill it rather quickly.

Electric - Dedenne: worse IMHO than the other mice, not competitively
Flying - Wingull and Pelliper: why the noise, stop appearing! -_-
Fairy - Flabebe: maybe because of wonder trade
Dragon: Kingdra: although I hold it in high regard, this is the most annoying thing in any gym battle, arguably worse than bugsy's Scyther or Whitney's Miltank. Clair's Kingdra is very annoying with its high power moves and smokescreen. Oh the humanity of continually missing. Juan's Kingdra is extremely annoying, spamming double team, confusing with water pulse and after eventually getting down to low health, resting!

Channel 4's victory in a libel case will mitigate programme makers fears of police libel threats, writes Roger Pearson.
DJ Freeman has won a significant victory for Channel 4, while the Police Federation has been left with an estimated legal costs bill of up to #2m, in a case where Channel 4 was sued by a detective inspector.
The case, which became such a stop-start affair that it was nicknamed the Groundhog Trial, reached its conclusion in October this year on its third excursion to the High Court and after the discharge of two juries.
The case involved claims against Channel 4 by Detective Inspector Trevor Gladding, a Gloucestershire police officer who claimed he was libelled in an episode in the Trial and Error television series. Gladding's claim was backed by the Police Federation.
The programme probed the murder convictions of Gary Mills and Tony Poole. It featured a recorded telephone conversation between Gladding, the senior officer in the case, and a key witness.
In the tape recording, Gladding repeatedly told the witness not to turn up at the committal hearing and to deny all knowledge of being asked to attend. The programme then claimed that a Police Complaints Authority inquiry into the matter, in which police were exonerated, was a "whitewash".
When the libel claim was brought against Channel 4 and the programme's presenter, David Jessel, they mounted a justification defence on the advice of DJ Freeman partner, Susan Aslan.
Aslan says: "This was an extremely well-researched and well-legalled programme. We listened to the tape of the conversation over and over, and looked at the transcript of the plaintiff's evidence at the murder trial. We could not accept that there was an innocent explanation for what happened and we advised Channel 4 and David Jessel that we considered they had a strong case that was worth fighting."
The initial trial, which took place in July this year, had to be called off after two weeks as a result of comments made in the closing speech of Geoffrey Shaw QC for the plaintiff.
Trial judge Mr Justice Eady's decision to discharge the jury was upheld by the Court of Appeal, which refused leave for the plaintiff to appeal against it.
The jury was discharged and a new trial began in October. But this trial also collapsed after complaints from the defendant about the plaintiff's opening submissions.
A third trial began immediately and ended with Channel 4 and Jessel being cleared of the libel allegations.
The case is one which Aslan says should, among other things, serve as a warning to the police and the Police Federation. She has put an estimated legal costs tag of up to #2m on the bill that the federation, which backs many libel claims by police, will eventually have to foot for this case.
Despite the frustrations involved in the case, she says: "We had confidence in a jury's ability to make a proper assessment of the position. That confidence has been borne out.
"The message is that broadcasters and publishers will not succumb to a 'freeze effect' of repeated threats of libel proceedings by police officers."

"Redzone" was a power-armored foe encountered by the Huntress while hunting for the the mobster who abducted and raped her as a child. Huntress shoots his eye out and in retaliation after he knocks her out of a window, but she manages to get inside a ledge somehow suffering a concussion. When she finally confronted Holtz, the mobster she was after, Redzone was waiting for her. Breaking his leg yet suffering a gun shot wound, Huntress finally killed Red Zone with a automatic rifle and, ironically, while Redzone tried to kill her he accidentally killed the mobster.

anyone have any funny/strange octo stories to share?
There is a great one under octopus care, octopus bites by Roy Caldwell and Jean has a good one I couldn't locate about an escapee and a night watch person.
Good Idea for a thread with nothing but links to posts - Nancy?
The story goes like this.......We had a rather large common octopus called Harry (after Houdini) who we had secured (or so we thought ) in our octopus tank.......anyway we do a security/animal check at around 10pm each night and that particular night it was the then senior aquarists turn, she was five foot 2 or so and Harry measured just over 2m arm spread (I think, it was a long time ago....but he was BIG!) anyway the aquarist was coming down the stairs from the staff room and hadn't bothered to switch on the lights, when she heard......sluuuuuuuuurp.........coming from somewhere in front of her, so back up the stairs, on with the lights and there is Harry, halfway up the stairs!!!!!! She is all by herself.......but.... bravely gets a net an tries to persuade Harry to get in it and stay in! No sooner had she got one set of arms in when another would flash out and grab the wall, the floor, her legs, her arms etc etc........took her three quarters of a hour to wrestle him back into his tank!!!
Shortly after that he escaped 5 times in the space of a couple of hours.........then we released him......too much work!
We had another who had a mutual dislike of one of the staff, he hated her she hated him! Every time she walked past the back of the tank, (if the tank doors were open) she got a jet of water (several litres) on the back of her head! It was great fun on days when she was assigned octopus tank cleaning (which if we were feeling was often!) He'd steal the tools, squirt her and if it was a day when we dropped the water level so she could climb into the tank in waders, he'd lunge at her, grab her, pinch the bucket (for crab debris) and on one memorable occasion managed to undo the strap holding one of the waders to her belt and get it filled with water.......very funny for the audience.......strangely... she quit soon after that!
I have got to go with Monty's Indiana Jones thinking on this one, it sounds so "romantic" (well at least entertaining) to be the person getting "abused" by the octo but might not not (well, maybe not) be appreciated by the targeted victim on an on-going basis - but I would like the chance to find out!

Daniel Paille back, Shawn Thornton improving
WILMINGTON – Daniel Paille practiced today at Ristuccia Arena for the first time since being high-sticked by Buffalo's Tyler Myers last Thursday. Paille didn't play against Toronto on Saturday because of precautionary reasons. The area around Paille's left eye is swollen and bruised, but the left wing said he's feeling better.
Paille, however, has not been cleared to play on Wednesday against Montreal. Paille did not participate in battle drills today. Paille practiced on the fourth line.
- Shawn Thornton took a solo skate before practice this morning. It was the first time Thornton was on the ice since suffering a concussion during his fight with John Scott on Thursday. Thornton rode the stationary bike Sunday, according to coach Claude Julien. Thornton is symptom-free. Thornton remains very doubtful for Wednesday's game.
- David Krejci and Brad Marchand didn't practice. Krejci is expected to practice tomorrow. Julien did not say the same about Marchand.
Today's lineup:
Milan Lucic-Jay Pandolfo-Nathan Horton
Gregory Campbell-Patrice Bergeron-Tyler Seguin
Chris Bourque-Chris Kelly-Rich Peverley
Daniel Paille-Jamie Tardif-Lane MacDermid
Zdeno Chara-Johnny Boychuk
Dennis Seidenberg-Dougie Hamilton
Andrew Ference-Adam McQuaid

If your E-Business Suite Release environment is configured to support Daylight Saving Time (DST) or international time zones, it's important to keep your timezone definition files up-to-date. They were last changed in November 2015 and released as DSTv25.
DSTv27 is now available and certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1. The DSTv27 update includes the timezone information from the IANA tzdata 2016f. It is cumulative: it includes all previous Oracle DST updates.
Is Your Apps Environment Affected?When a country or region changes DST rules or their time zone definitions, your Oracle E-Business Suite environment will require patching if:
- Your Oracle E-Business Suite environment is located in the affected country or region OR
- Your Oracle E-Business Suite environment is located outside the affected country or region but you conduct business or have customers or suppliers in the affected country or region

In case you haven't been following our previous time zone or Daylight Saving Time (DST)-related articles, international timezone definitions for E-Business Suite environments are captured in a series of patches for the database and application tier servers in your environment. The actual scope and number of patches that need to be applied depend on whether you've applied previous DST or timezone-related patches. Some sysadmins have remarked to me that it generally takes more time to read the various timezone documents than it takes to apply these patches, but your mileage may vary.
Proactive backports of DST upgrade patches to all Oracle E-Business Suite tiers and platforms are not created and supplied by default. If you need this DST release and an appropriate patch is not currently available, raise a service request through support providing a business case with your version requirements.
The following Note identifies the various components in your E-Business Suite environment that may need DST patches:
- Complying with Daylight Saving Time (DST) and Time Zone Rule Changes in E-Business Suite 12 (Note 563019.1)
Our certification of this DST timezone patch with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 is currently underway.
Oracle's Revenue Recognition rules prohibit us from discussing certification and release dates, but you're welcome to monitor or subscribe to this blog. I'll post updates here as soon as soon as they're available.

Last year, United in ORD rebooked us to fly via CDG, instead of a direct AMS flight. We were forced to spent the day at CDG ( Flying LH, YV, UA, And Unexpectedly, KL (by CrimsonNL Nov 8 2009 in Trip Reports) ) but it did get us both $1000 dollars in travel credit for UA. They were only valid on UA flights, unfortunately no code shares. As we would be travelling on a budget, the cheapest option we could find was a BRU-IAD r/t. I had been to DC twice before, and to DCA, but not yet to IAD. Also BRU would be new. And scoring 2 767 flights for next to nothing wasn't bad either!
My dad and I decided we we're going to visit the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. We'd both wanted to go there for quite some time. After that we would have 5 more days until our flight back, and decided to see what we would run into along the way. We ended up going as far West as Indiana, and even visited Kittyhawk, NC and Dover, DL.
On the 12th of August we left home for a 2 hour drive to Brussels. We dropped the car at a parking, and the shuttle brought us to the airport. Before checking in we we're questioned about our trip to the USA, and who had packed our suitcases, and some other silly questions. The guy checking us in was very friendly. Our seat selection was confirmed and we got our boarding cards. We still had about 3 hours to wait, and in an upstairs area we found some comfortable couches in a very quiet area, with great views of the ramp.
American planes, our's had not landed yet
The upstairs area
After a while we decided to head to the gate area. Clearing security didn't take long, and we walked into the B concourse where it was rather busy. Our plane had since arrived and was being prepped for departure. To my relief it wasn't the same ship I had flown on last year.
Ship 6452 at the gate, looks like she could do with some paint!
When it was time to board, a security person was questioning people. He talked to me in Flemish but I just couldn't hear what he said. He had to repeat it three times; "Did someone give anything to you?" Nope.. Upon entering the plane we were welcomed by 2 friendly flight attendants. One of them was pointing everyone to their seat. I said I could managed to find the seat myself and he replied "Oh you know the house? Welcome back!" First thing I noticed was a picture of Steven Slater in the forward galley. I thought that was pretty daring!

Legroom, significantly less than the last time when I was in Y+
Dreaded entertainment box, eating up my legspace
We were welcomed on board in three languages, being English, Dutch and French. The purser announced that the Captain's name was Hank Williams, which made for some laughs among the pax. Everyone got settled pretty quick, and it appeared to be a full flight. We pushed back and after a short taxi we reached the departure runway. Unfortunately Channel 9 was not enabled..
Take-off video, I could see our car in the carpark.
Climb out was smooth, and we passed some big cloud formations.

Snack service
The cabin
Dinner service started. The choices where chicken or ravioli. I opted for the chicken. It was pretty good, however the yellow, potato like stuff, tasted very bad. The salad was very dry, I wish they had put some cucumber in there!
After the dinner service I went to the aft lavatory. There was a line so I had to wait, when one of the flight attendants there asked me if I was going home. I told him that I was going on vacation. And he looked a little surprised when I told him I was heading for Ohio haha. We started talking when another flight attendant showed up. One was French born, (he did all the French announcements) and the other one was from Dutch-Indonesia and could speak Dutch. We had a nice convo about United's destinations and the CO merger and all. When I mentioned I worked with Lufthansa, they both said; "Oh that gets you special treatment!" One of them rushed forward to get me an amenity kit, while the other one got me a beer for free. It appeared they had brought Belgian pie on board which they happily shared with me. Another guy that was in the galley got a slice as well. When a father and a little girl asked for some snacks. One of them rushed forward to get the girl a bowl of chocolate mousse from the biz class. These guys were really putting effort in making the passengers having a good flight! By far the coolest flight attendant's I've encountered on my flights.
Amenity kit
IFE, 10 points if you can guess the episode
I spent the remainder of the flight watching Iron Man 2, which IMO was even worse than part one. Nothing to see down below except a whole lot of water. One thing that was very annoying was that with every bump, the captain switched on the seatbelt sign, and the announcement to get seated was made in 3 languages. This happened multiple times during the flight without encountering any serious turbulence.
Feet dry! Over Canada
Snack service prior to landing
Aditional IFE
Only during the decent the captain made an announcement. He didn't welcome us on board which I don't like at all. He informed us about the WX at IAD and such. Still no channel 9..
Potomac river
Landing video
Very nice to see these two, they are kinda famous!
After saying thanks and goodbye to the two awesome f/a's, we disembarked and walked a long way into the terminal.
Bye, thanks!
At one moment we walked into the moving passenger lounges and that really made me think Oh my god, how old fashioned! On one hand it was cool to experience, on the other hand, for the capital of the USA you'd expect something nicer.. Immigrations and customs were by far the smoothest I encountered since 9/11 so that was a plus. And we got our bags within a few minutes. We headed towards the car rental where we picked up a Ford Fusion. We'd be making a lot of miles! We drove to our airport motel, the Best Western (which I can recommend) And after dropping the bags we went for a lightning visit to the NASM at IAD. We had been there before 2 years earlier, but well worth visiting again. Amazing collection.
The next day we drove 8 hours, from DC to Dayton Ohio, to visit the USAF museum. I had planned to meet fellow anetter Transpac787 there. By coincidence we had booked the same hotel, and we went to a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant.
Me on the left, Transpac787 on the right
The following day we went to the USAF museum, they had a couple of planes in their collection I just HAD to see. The B-36, Bockscar, the B-2, and of course the XB-70 Valkyrie!
Thunderscreech, supposedly the loudest plane ever build

Overview of some of the planes
I don't know how long we spent, but it was several hours of walking in the museum. Not only was I amazed by the collection, also by the huge amount of "large" people in electric scooters. I don't think I had ever seen that many in one day. After visiting the museum we dropped off Transpac787 at DAY and said goodbye. Me and my dad went on to Lawrenceburg Indiana, so we could cross that state off our list. Turned out to be a very nice place.
The following days we drove a lot. Through the Kentucky countryside, visited the Woodford Reserve still, and ended in Charleston WV. Which I found a very boring city. Despite the huge distances we were covering, we actually made very good progress. We decided to go all the way to Kittyhawk NC, to visit the first flight monument. But before that we would drive into the West Virginia countryside, to visit Coalwood and War, which I read about in the awesome book "Rocket Boys"
War, WV was very interesting. A lot of old buildings and old cars. Very different from the image you have of the US of A. Interacting with the locals was a great experience. The next day we made it to the NC Outer Banks. It reminded me of Florida, only much less extravagant, and nicer. We had terrific weather. While stopping at a visitor center, I found a flyer for scenic rides on a classic biplane. Assuming it would be too expensive, we decided to visit Dare County Regional airport, just to have a look. The airport was very nice, the biggest planes I saw were 2 Fedex C208 feeders. We immediately noticed a beautiful classic Waco UPF-7. In my ongoing quest to score as many classics as affordable, we went into the office to inquire about the fee's. The staff at Barrier Island Aviation was very laidback and friendly. They told us the two of us could fit in the front seat, and we found a 20 minute ride to be quite affordable. We signed up and they asked us; "Are you ready to go now?" The pilot was somewhere in the hangar and turned out to be a great guy. He had some stuff to do and asked us to wait for a moment, which I used to make some pictures of the old lady.

When the pilot returned, we climbed into the front seat. It was a tight fit haha. He explained to us not to touch any of the controls, or the rudder pedals. And we put on leather pilot hats with glasses.

It was very hot outside, and the plane had been out in the sun all of the time. The engine started without hesitation, and we taxied to the active. We had noise cancelling headphones on, as the engine sound was very loud. We could hear the ATC over the headphones. It was my first flight on a plane with an open cockpit, so I was very excited.
Take-off video
Take off roll was very short, and we soon floated away. The heat coming from the engine was very hot, and without the glasses you wouldn't have been able to see anything!
Outer Banks
Love this view, over the cowling
Or this, the landing gear!
One of the first things we saw while flying over Kill Devil Hills was a USCG Hercules. We flew over the first flight memorial, and then South along the shore. The pilot told us he saw a large school of fish, and made some incredibly tight turns over it so we got some great views.
Kill Devil Hills
MEO Airport
After a tight turn, we floated down onto the runway, video;
While taxiing back to the stand, I took off the helmet and enjoyed the loud engine sound for a moment. On the stand we made a 360 degrees turn, and we disembarked. Block time was well over 20 minutes.
Pilot seat
One last look, goodbye beautiful!
After the flight we had a chat with the pilot, he was a very nice guy, and (I'm quoting) the proud owner, of the Waco. I ended up buying an awesome Tshirt with an image of the plane on the back.
Later that day, he was doing another flight
First flight monument, they made a very nice memorial park
After that we headed North, stayed in Elizabeth city, and the next day we made it to Norfolk. We decided to take a tour of the Naval Station, which turned out to be very interesting. Some very nice ships were docked.
The George Bush (I think)
I think this was the Eisenhower
The next day would be the day we'd be flying back to BRU. However as the flight was only at 3PM, we decided to squeeze in a visit to the AMC museum at the Dover AFB, in Delaware. Well worth a visit, great collection of heavy transporters, and a lot of action at the adjacent AFB.
My favorite plane, the Boeing B-17
Starlifter, you could actually go inside it
Galaxy's at the AFB
More C-17s in a row then you'll ever see I guess!
The C-119, one of my favorites as well
And of course the massive C-124
After that it was finally time to head back. In the last half hour, after driving over 2000 miles, we almost had a Buick crash into us because the (bad word) behind the wheel was talking on his phone. After dropping off the car we headed back to IAD. The main terminal was pretty nice. I didn't really get the checkin process. At the desk, you had to check in yourself at a kiosk. The kiosk printed a reservation card, which you then gave to the agent, standing directly behind the kiosk. She labeled the bags and got us our boarding cards. What a waste of paper, printing the reservation while the agent is just there! We headed downstairs to the security area. Where for a change all the posts were manned. Even though it was busy it didn't take long. We got onto another people carrier and were driven to the concourse.
The concourse was very busy, and hardly had any windows. This is the only picture I could make of the plane.
Flight info, I wish we had this at AMS.
While waiting at the gate, we saw a familiar face boarding the plane. It was Captain Hank Williams again. We made our way on board, only to find some incredibly annoying Belgian folks sitting in front of us. One half of the party was in the A/B seats, the other in the J/K seats. While everyone was boarding they were just standing in the aisle screaming to each other.

Other traffic
We departed more or less ontime, again without channel 9..
NASM Museum
As we lined up the runway, the engines spooled up to takeoff power, only to go back to idle. To my relief they spooled up again and we were off!
Climb out
Hardly visible, but this was JFK, and we got a good view of NYC as well
Pretzels were distributed, and I remembered to order cranapple juice, so I'd get the whole can.
Delta's Habitat for Humanity plane. I run into her everywhere I go
Dinner service, it was alright. No desert though, only some crackers..
Last rays of sunlight
At first I tried to get some sleep, but failed as usual. I watched the latest Shrek movie (I'd seen the previous three on three different USA-AMS flights) but did not really like it. After that I watched another action movie, with Orlando Bloom, it was so bad I forgot the name! I had a quick chat with some of the crew in the aft galley, who were again very nice. In all a pretty eventless flight.
Breakfast, yoghurt and a pastry with a horrific artificial banana flavor. The coffee was acceptable
Sunrise over London
Dry feet over Belgium
Over Belgium the first officer informed us about wx at BRU. I really appreciate it if one of the cockpit crew members welcomes you on board at the beginning of the flight, but this wasn't the case on these flights. At least they weren't turning the seatbelt sign on every 5 minutes.
Landing video
Unfortunately no windows at the BRU arrivals area, so I never got a good exterior shot of the plane. After we docked we walked through immigrations in seconds, and after about 10 minutes the bags dropped on the belt. All that lasted was a 2 hour drive home.
This was my 8th trip to the USA. I still think it's a great country for vacations. We did some off-beat destinations again, instead of the usual touristic stuff where most Europeans go. Next year I'm probably heading East for a change though! I can definitely recommend the museums I mentioned in this report.
UA Was definitely a better experience then last time. But that was mainly because of the crew. The 767 interiors are decent, though it's a shame they didn't include AVOD in the cabin refurbishing if you ask me. We got to fly for next to nothing thanks to the vouchers On time performance was good and no real complaints. The 767 was great as always.
I was pleasantly surprised by BRU. Well organized and modern. We found everything in no time and security and immigrations were a breeze. I can't say the same for IAD. What a disgrace for a city as DC. The main terminal is nice but it all goes downhill in the UA concourses. People movers? Come on!
Waco UPF-7
It's hard to explain how cool this flight was. You really need to do it yourself, the heat, smell, vibrations, just amazing! 68 years old and still going strong. Now that's quality!
I hope you enjoyed the report, as usual all remarks and replies are appreciated!
Regards, Martijn

David Letterman Returning to TV With Netflix Series
David Letterman is coming back to the small screen.
David Letterman is coming back to the small screen.
A lot of famous people showed up to deliver Dave's final top 10 list.
You don't have to wait until later tonight to begin saying goodbye to David Letterman (though if you're like us, you've already started that process) — you can do it right now. The venerable, longtime Late Show host is ending his 33-year run with tonight's episode, which promises to be a fantastic, hilarious and appropriately heartwarming sendoff. But before we get to that, you can watch Letterman's final Late Show entrance right now.
Here is a brief list of things that happened during Jennifer Lawrence's appearance on 'The Late Show' last night: she sang with host David Letterman, the duo discussed tummy troubles, they chatted about bowling, they both totally biffed introducing a clip, Lawrence begged Letterman to not retire, they walked out during a live taping, and then Lawrence took over the entire show.
Everyone is still in shock about the death of Robin Williams. It's been a week since news about his suicide stunned his fans. There has been a lot of Twitter and Facebook traffic from celebs who knew him, but David Letterman knew him for 38 years, and last night, he remembered his friend...
Well, that was fast! Just one week after David Letterman dropped the 'Late Show' bombshell that he would retire in 2015, his replacement has officially been announced. Following early and decisive rumors, Stephen Colbert will officially leave behind Comedy Central's 'Colbert Report' to ascend the late-night throne as the new host of CBS' 'The Late Show.' You're welcome, nation!
Salma Hayek was on David Letterman last week, and she sang the American National Anthem, a portion of the Mexican National Anthem, and admitted that she doesn't know much of the French National Anthem, even though she lives in Paris with her French husband. But some of the Mexican media had a problem with the fact that she only sang just a bit of the Mexican Anthem, and then proceeded to sing the entire American National Anthem. I thought it was great, and it really proved a point.
Justin Bieber made another apperance on Letterman last night, and David was in vintage form! David apparently hates tatoos! Especially the ones on Bieber. Bieber seems to take in stride.
Regis Philbin's last day on 'Live with Regis & Kelly' was this morning. But before his big finale he visited David Letterman last night, and the late night host almost killed him.
Letterman gave Regis a new Vespa as a gift. Regis went outside the studio to give it a spin and…well, it's Regis, so he promptly fell off the bike.
After watching Gov. Rick Perry bomb at the debate, he decided to take in some comedy relief to "redeem" himself!
The events of 9-11 were horrible, but I think David Letterman summed up how we were all feeling in the days after...
Late Night Host David Letterman has been on "Late Night With David Letterman" since 1982, a total of 29 years. In all that time hosting the show, David has never worn the same tie...

Milan repeat Chelsea rejection
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has reaffirmed that he rejected an approach from Chelsea for Kaka.
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 08/07/08 10:16am
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has reaffirmed that he rejected an approach from Chelsea for Kaka.
The Brazilian playmaker is believed to be top of the Blues' transfer wish list as they bid to overhaul Manchester United in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea reportedly denied making enquiries about a record-breaking bid, but Galliani insists he did receive contact from the Premier League club regarding Kaka.
However, Galliani claims he is unaware of how much Chelsea were willing to offer because he ended the communication before a fee was discussed.
Primary target
"I can confirm that Chelsea declared their interest in Kaka," Galliani told Sky Sport Italia.
"But I told them that Milan were not interested in selling him and I stopped everything before they could make any offer.
"So, I don't know whether they would have offered £80million."
Meanwhile, Galliani has reiterated that Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is Milan's primary summer transfer target.
Galliani also remains interested in Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho, but admits both moves will depend upon the players' valuation.
"At this moment we are on stand-by for both Adebayor and Ronaldinho," added Galliani in Corriere dello Sport.
"It will depend on the financial evaluations of Arsenal and Barcelona. Adebayor is first choice."
Galliani has also repeated that Milan could consider offering Andrei Shevchenko a way out of Chelsea.
"Should there be certain financial conditions, he (Shevchenko) would be welcomed."

text: I love the look of the mobius cowl or wrap and decided to design one in a lace stitch using Homespun yarn. I love using the Homespun in the fall or winter. It is so nice and soft and warm for accessories. This accessory is very versatile and can be worn as a wrap to keep your back and shoulders warm or as a cowl to keep your neck warm on chilly days. It is a one size fits all pattern. I love to design things that can be worn different ways so you get more use out of them. This particular pattern is actually 2 patterns in 1. The pattern is for a lace mobius cowl or wrap and also for a more basic version that is not a lace stitch. The basic version has directions for a small to medium size or a medium to large size. Both patterns are knit on size US 15 circular needles. This accessory is knit in the round so there is no seaming. The basic cowl, that is not lacy, can be made with one skein of Homespun yarn and the lace version requires 2 skeins of yarn. This would be an advanced beginner to an intermediate project. You will need to be familiar with joining in the round, knit, purl, knit 2 together and yarn over to complete this project. The pattern is 5 pages long - for both patterns - and includes photos. You may sell your finished cowls made from this pattern but not my pattern. BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY Basic knitting skills Know how to join in round Knit, Purl, yarn over, cast on , bind off GAUGE Not important for this accessory SIZING / FINISHED MEASUREMENTS 44 in. around & 15 in. wide at widest part of back SUGGESTED YARN 360 yards of Bulky weight PREFERRED BRAND/YARN Lion Homespun COLORWAY Mixed Berries

Baby Girl
This is for this weeks challenge at Die Cut Dreams, the theme is a Baby card "It's A Girl". The girls have all made fabulous creations and great prize up for grabs too.
I have used a Digi I won from Bugaboo a while back and never used, i'm not one for Digi's much but she is really cute.
This is for:-
Cupcake Crafts - #129 - "I love you" Use a heart
What a weekend, I've had Bobby down with a tummy bug and a cold, then I switched on my computer on Sunday morning and my Monitor has packed up. So I have had to borrow a really old one from my sister till I can get a new one. It's not very sharp, it seems to be a bit blury, the hubby has messed with all the contrast buttons etc, and nothing, but maybe it's just old. So i'm now behind with my blogging, i've lost a whole day more or less due to the monitor.
Stamps - Bugaboo, Polkadoodles Butterfly,
Colouring Mediums - Promarkers, Distress inks,
Tools - embossing powder, cricut,
Embellishments - Nappy pin, ribbon, gems, stickles,
Thank you for popping by today, have a good week.
Happy crafting

This may have already been covered but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the research. I need your help.
I work for an outdoor company and need something tough and small that I can put into a pocket or stick in a chest harness while doing activities. (zip line, rafting, wet environs are some of the activities I will be encountering)
* What budget have you allocated for buying this camera? <$400
* What size camera are you looking for? Compact to fit in a pocket
How many megapixels will suffice for you? 6-8?
* What optical zoom will you need? (None, Standard = 3x-4x, Ultrazoom = 10x-12x, Other - Specify) as much zoom as possible
* How important is image quality to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10) 7-8
Do you care for manual controls? I can work with it
General Usage
* What will you generally use the camera for? see above, action outdoor activites
* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not? yes
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos? sometimes low light
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos? YES
Are there particular brands you like or hate? have had previous trouble w/Canon lens covers hanging up/not opening
Are there particular models you already have in mind? I have looked at but am overwhelmed by the variety: Sony W20, Nikon S620, Panasonic TZ1 (not quite as compact as I'd like), Olympus Stylus 550 wP, Pentax Optio W30
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD) Image Stabilization, water resistant would both be nice
BTW, if any of these have video capability that would be nice as well. I have scads of SD cards so that media type would be nice not to have to reinvest in more media.
Thanks in advance for your help.

International standards will be replacing SAS 70 audits soon. These new standards will bring more flexibility and responsibility for service organizations. We've laid out some information below to help you understand the change. For more information, please contact us.
The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) felt a need for a common auditing standard to address the varying differences in each countries audit requirements. As a result the IAASB formed and issued the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3402 'Assurance Report on Controls at a Service Organization' on December 18, 2009. ISAE 3402 is not a means to replace country specific standards (i.e. SAS 70) but to provide reporting option to address current limitations. The new AICPA standard SSAE 16 will replace the existing SAS 70 standard effective June 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted.
What has changed?
Although there were many discussions that the AICPA would expand the SAS 70 scope beyond financial reporting relevance this is not the case for SSAE 16; however they have provided guidance to cover this limitation under AT Section 101. Below is a summary of the changes affecting the current SAS 70 standard:
- Management is responsible for a description of their system. Previously management was only responsible for the description of controls.
- Management is responsible for providing a written assertion statement supporting their systems description.
- Subservice organizations that are included via the inclusive method are also required to include a written assertion statement similar to the service organization.
- The service auditors' opinion will change and is now required to report of the design of the system throughout the audit period.
- A requirement to explain the use of internal audit or management testing.
How can service organizations prepare?
- Start communication with your auditor and user organizations.
- Identify the needed changes to your current SAS 70 audit.
- Assess how this will impact your compliance efforts and develop a plan immediately.
How is ISAE 3402 or SSAE 16 going to affect service organizations?
- Service organizations are going to be required to sign off on an assertion confirming the accuracy of the description of their system and that their control activities were operating effectively.
- Service organizations are going to need to perform an assessment of their controls (monitoring procedures) in order to sign off on their assertion.
- A full description is now required for processes and controls covered in your SAS 70 audit report (many organizations already cover this requirement; however there are a number of reports issued over the past years with very limited descriptions).
- A risk assessment over the scope of your audit to determine the adequacy of your controls.
It is highly recommended that organizations start preparing for the upcoming changes to the SAS 70 audit standard. Some organizations may face significant road blocks on completing future engagements after the changes to the SAS 70 audit standard become effective.

|Managing Enclosure Heat Flows
While the control of moisture is practically a universal requirement for buildings, the importance of the control of heat transfer tends to become more critical as the severity of climate, either hot or cold, increases. Managing heat flows is critical to occupant thermal comfort, energy efficiency, durability, and increasingly, thermal resilience during periods of extended power outages.
