The 27th SOW is part of Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC).
The 27th SOW also is responsible for Melrose Range, an air training range near the neighboring town of Melrose, New Mexico.

The 27th Operations Group is the successor to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) 27th Bombardment Group (Light), established on 1 February 1940 at Barksdale Army Airfield Louisiana.
The United States Air Force 27th Fighter Wing was established on 28 July 1947 at Kearney Army Airfield Nebraska. It was redesignated the 27th Fighter-Escort Wing on 1 February 1950. In 1952, the wing was bestowed the USAAF World War II honors and history of the 27th Bombardment (later Fighter) Group. It was redesignated the 27th Fighter-Bomber Wing on 1 July 1957; 27th Tactical Fighter Wing on 1 July 1958 and the 27th Fighter Wing on 1 October 1991. The wing was again redesignated the 27th Special Operations Wing on 1 October 2007.
The 27th has been assigned to the following Major Commands:
On 18 December Major John H. Davies, 27th BG (L) commander, and an aircrew of 20 flew from Clark Field on Luzon in two B-18s and one Douglas C-39 of Transport Command to Tarakan Island in the Dutch East Indies to Darwin Australia arriving on 22 December. Flying from Darwin, the group arrived in Brisbane on 24 December to pick up their A-24s off the ship USAT Meigs. However, as a swift Japanese advance prevented his group from returning to the Philippines, the air echelon of the 27th was ordered to operate from Brisbane.
The ground echelon of the 27th still in the Philippines was evacuated south from Luzon on 25 December to the Bataan Peninsula, arriving to form the 2nd Battalion (27th Bombardment Group) Provisional Infantry Regiment (Air Corp). For the 99 days following the attack on Pearl Harbor until their surrender to the Japanese after the Battle of Bataan, the men of the 27th BG became the only Air Force unit in history to fight as an infantry regiment, and were the only unit to be taken captive in whole. After surrendering, they were forced to endure the infamous Bataan Death March. Of the 880 or so Airmen who were taken, less than half survived captivity.
However, a number of officers and enlisted men of the 27th Bomb Group were evacuated out of the Philippines in five U.S. Navy submarines just before it was overrun by the Japanese during April. The USS Seawolf, USS Seadragon, USS Sargo, USS Swordfish and lastly the USS Spearfish, on the night of the 3 May 1942 managed to sneak into Manila Bay and evacuate American personnel from Corregidor to Fremantle, Western Australia.
In Australia, the escaped airmen and aircraft of the 27th Bomb Group reformed into a combat unit. On 5 February, the group moved from Brisbane to Malang Java in the colonial Dutch East Indies to defend the island. The group participated in an attack on the Japanese invasion fleet landing troops on Bali. The attacks, carried out during the afternoon of 19 February and throughout the morning of 20 February, caused considerable damage but failed to halt the landings. The group was credited with the sinking of a Japanese cruiser and a destroyer. From 27 February through 1 March, the 27th participated in Battle of the Java Sea but achieved only insignificant results. The elements of the 27th Bomb Group in Java was withdrawn and transferred back to Australia, consolidating with other surviving elements of the group which had moved from Brisbane to Batchelor airfield in the Northern Territory.
In addition, the 27th Bomb Group saw action over New Guinea, flying thirteen A-24s to Port Moresby. However, the group suffered heavy losses while in New Guinea. They were withdrawn from New Guinea after it was realised that they were not suited for their intended role without adequate fighter protection and they were desperately in need of adequate workshop facilities and spares backup.
For their heroic efforts in the Philippines and the Southwest Pacific during late 1941 and early 1942, the 27th Bombardment Group (Light) received three Distinguished Unit Citations (DUC).
On 25 March, Major Davies, and the surviving 27th Bomb Group personnel consisting of 42 officers, 62 enlisted men and 24 A-24s were assigned to the 3rd Bombardment Group at Charters Towers airfield in Queensland, Australia. Its Personnel and A-24 aircraft were assigned to the 8th Bomb Squadron and participated in raids on the Philippines 12 and 13 April.
On 4 May the unmanned and unequipped 27th Bomb Group was inactivated in place, and transferred administrativley back to the United States.
From Australia, the airmen of the inactivated 27th Bomb Group were transferred first to Fort Dix New Jersey, then to the United Kingdom, arriving first at RAF Grafton Underwood on 12 May, then to RAF Molesworth on 9 June. Under Eighth Air Force the airmen were organized as the 15th Bombardment Squadron (Light) and equipped with the British Boston III light bomber, receiving their aircraft from No. 226 Squadron RAF.
After a few weeks of familiarization training with the new aircraft, on July 4, 1942, six American crews from the 15th Bomb Squadron joined with six RAF crews from RAF Swanton Morley for a low-level attack on Luftwaffe airfields in the Netherlands, becoming the first USAAF unit to bomb targets in Europe. The 4th of July raid had been specifically ordered by General Henry H. "Hap" Arnold and approved by President Roosevelt. Arnold believed that the 4th of July would be an ideal day for the USAAF to open its strategic bombing campaign against the Nazis, but General Carl Spaatz did not have any of his heavy Eighth Air Force bomb groups ready for operatonal missions. Two of the 15th's planes did not return from the mission, along with one RAF aircraft. The squadron commander, Capt. Charles Kegelman, plane was shot up badly and almost did not return.
Spaatz considered the mission a "stunt" triggered by pressure in the American press who believed the people of both the United States and Great Britain needed a psychologial boost. However, Kegleman was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and its British equivalent for his valor on that Fourth of July mission--the first Eighth Air Force airman to receive the nation's second highest combat decoration.
The 15th flew most of its missions from Molesworth in its British Bostons, and did not receive USAAF Douglas A-20 Havoc aircraft until 5 September. The squadron was transferred to RAF Podington on 15 September where it flew a few missions before being transferred to Twelfth Air Force for support of Allied landings in North Africa on 15 October.
In North Africa, its crews were assigned to the 47th Bombardment Group (Light), at Mediouna, French Morocco and the 15th was inactivated. Nevertheless, the 15th Bombardment Squadron had earned a unique but sometimes forgotten place in Air Force history.
On 4 May the 27th Bombardment Group (Light) was reactivated without personnel or equipment at Hunter AAF Georgia. At Hunter, the group was re-manned and re-equipped with the Douglas A-20 Havoc light bomber. After additional training in Mississippi and Louisiana, on 26 December the group was transferred to Ste-Barbe-du-Tlelat, Algeria to enter combat in North Africa with Twelfth Air Force. Maintenance and support personnel went by sea to North Africa while aircrews and the A-20s flew to South America then across to North Africa, In North Africa, the A-20s were sent to other groups and the 27th Bomb Group was redesignated as the 27th Fighter-Bomber Group and reequipped with the North American A-36 Invader dive bomber. Assigned to Korba, Tunisia, the 27th FBG flew its first combat missions of the war on June 6, 1943.
The 27th served in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO) until the end of the war. It was redesignated the 27th Fighter Group in May 1944 when the group converted first to the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, then to the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft.
During the Sicilian Campaign, operations included participation in the reduction of Pantelleria and Lampedusa Islands and supporting ground forces during the conquest of Sicily. In the Italian Campaign the 27th covered the landings at Salerno and received a Distinguished Unit Citation (DUC) for preventing three German armored divisions from reaching the Salerno beachhead on 10 September 1943. In addition, the group supported the Fifth Army during the Allied drive toward Rome.
The group took part in the invasion of Southern France and assisted Seventh Army's advance up the Rhône Valley, receiving a second DUC for helping to disrupt the German retreat, 4 September 1944.
The 27th took part in the interdiction of the enemy's communications in northern Italy, and assisted in the Allied drive from France into Germany during the last months of the war, eventually being stationed at Biblis, Germany on V-E Day.
With five Distinguished Unit Citations and a Philippine Presidential Unit Citation, the Airmen of the 27th were among the most decorated USAAF units of World War II.
In the immediate postwar drawdown of the USAAF, the 27th Fighter Group was returned to the United States in October 1945, then inactivated on 7 November at Camp Shanks, New York. Within a year, the group was reactivated in Germany on 20 August 1946, being assigned to Fritzlar Air Base, flying P-47 Thunderbolts.
The group stayed in Germany for a year performing occupation duty until being transferred, without personnel or equipment, to Andrews AAF, Maryland, in June 1947. The 27th was assigned to Strategic Air Command and reactivated at Kearney AAF Nebraska as the 27th Fighter Wing, with the 27th Fighter Group as its operational component. Fighter Squadrons of the 27th were the 522d, 523d and 524th.
The 27th was initially equipped with the North American P-51D Mustang, and in 1948 was upgraded to the new North American F-82E Twin Mustang. In June 1948 the designation "P" for pursuit was changed to "F" for fighter. Subsequently, all P-51s were redesignated F-51s. The mission of the 27th Fighter Wing was to fly long-range escort missions for SAC Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers. With the arrival of the F-82s, the older F-51s were sent to Air National Guard units.
With the tight defense budgets in the late 1940s, the decision was made by Strategic Air Command decided to close Kearney AFB in 1949. The 27th Fighter Wing was transferred to Bergstrom AFB Texas on 16 March.
At Bergstrom, the 27th transitioned to jet aircraft with Republic Aviation F-84E Thunderjet in 1950, and was redesignated the 27th Fighter-Escort Wing on 1 February. The wing won the Mackay Trophy for successful deployment of 90 F-84s from Bergstrom AFB, to Furstenfeldbruck Air Base West Germany, in September 1950, via Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, and England. This was the Second (the first being the 20th FG flying 64 F-84Ds on 20 Jul 1950 during Operation "READY" from Shaw AB, SC to RAF Manston, UK) long-range mass flight of jet aircraft in aviation history.
The Korean War began in June 1950 and by November the wing was transferred with the advance echelon landing at Taegu AB, South Korea on 5 December and the rear echelon at Itazuke AB, Japan on 1 December. Combat operations in support of the United Nations ground forces began immediately and continued after the advance echelon was transferred to Itazuke in late January 1951.
The 27th Fighter Escort Wing was one of the first F-84 units to see combat action in Korea and earned numerous honors and awards for their combat record during the Korean War.
On 21 January 1951, Lt. Col. William Bertram, commander of the 523rd Fighter-Escort Squadron, shot down the first MiG-15 for the wing and became the first F-84 pilot with a confirmed MiG kill. Two days later, on 23 January, the 27th FEW participated in the raid on Sinuju Air Field in North Korea and shot down four more MiG-15s. By the time the group rotated back to the United States, they had flown more than 23,000 combat hours in more than 12,000 sorties.
For its Korean War service, the 27th Fighter-Escort Wing received the Distinguished Unit Citation, covering the period of 26 January through 21 April 1951, for their actions in Korea.
The 27th was relieved of its duties supporting U.N. forces in Korea and returned to Bergstrom on 31 July 1951, but was redeployed to Misawa AB, Japan during 6 October 1952 - 13 February 1953 to provide air defense.
On 20 January 1953 the wing was redesignated as the 27th Strategic Fighter Wing.
Wing pilot Capt Forrest W. Wilson, in an F-84G, won the Allison Trophy jet aircraft race of the National Aircraft Show at Dayton, Ohio, on 6 September 1953, flying the 110.3-mile course at an average speed of 537.802 mph in 12:17.2 minutes.
From June 1953 - June 1957 the 27th had air refueling as an additional mission, with the 27th Air Refueling Squadron flying the KB-29P aerial tanker.
On 1 July 1957, the 27th was redesigned the 27th Fighter-Bomber Wing and was assigned to Tactical Air Command along with Bergstrom AFB. The wing also received the new McDonnell F-101A Voodoo. Consisting of the 481st, 522d, and 523d Fighter-Bomber squadrons, the mission of the 27th FBW was to deliver a centerline nuclear bomb to a target. The F-101A was capable of little else and although designated as a fighter aircraft, it had poor aerial combat capabilities and would not have fared well in any air-to-air combat against enemy aircraft. Maj Adrian E. Drew, wing F-101 project officer, broke the world speed record on 12 Dec 1957 when he flew an F-101A over a Mojave Desert course at 1,212.8 mph in one direction and 1,207.5 mph in the opposite direction.
HQ USAF redesignated the wing the 27th Tactical Fighter Wing on 1 July 1958 as part of a worldwide naming change.
On 18 February 1959, the 27th was deactivated in place, as SAC reacquired Bergstrom as a B-52/KC-135 base. The 27th was immediately transferred and reactivated at Cannon AFB, New Mexico, being equipped with the North American F-100 "Super Sabre", replacing the 312th Tactical Fighter Wing.
During the Vietnam War, the 27th TFW deployed individual F-100 squadrons to Southeast Asia, which included Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Units from Cannon deployed the first F-100 squadron to Thailand in 1962-1963, and South Vietnam in 1964. Beginning in 1964 and throughout the Vietnam War years squadrons from the 27th TFW were deployed and detached to Air Force units and bases around the world. The 27th did not recombine as a cohesive wing until 1973.
In December 1965, with most of its operational squadrons deployed, the mission of the 27th changed from a Tactical Fighter Wing to a replacement training unit. The 27th Tactical Fighter Wing became the largest such unit in TAC. The 4585th Student Squadron was initially activated on 1 January 1966 to perform this mission. Later, the 4429th Combat Crew Training Squadron was activated on 15 May 1968 as a 2d training squadron, replacing the deployed 523d TFS.
Many F-100 pilots that flew in the Vietnam War were trained at Cannon AFB. From Cannon, the aircrews were transferred to the F-100 bases in South Vietnam - Phù Cát Air Base (37th TFW); Phan Rang AB (35th TFW) and Tuy Hoa AB (31st TFW).
The 27th also trained forward air controllers and air liaison officers in Lockheed T-33 Shooting Stars from 1969 to 1976. The 4468 Tac Control Squadron initially performed this mission in 1969, being replaced by the 609th Tac Control Squadron. The 609th TCS was inactivated on 15 June 1976.
With the withdrawal of the F-100 from Vietnam in 1970, and the phaseout of the aircraft from the active Air Force inventory, the 27th TFW began conversion to the General Dynamics F-111D "Aardvark". In July 1969, on loan from Nellis AFB Nevada, 10 F-111As facilitated training while the wing waited for its own planes. F-111Es began arriving in October 1969, but their stay was short. In the summer of 1971 wing aircrews ferried the last of them to RAF Upper Heyford England. In 1971, the 27th TFW received the first of its F-111Ds, and in July 1972, the last operational active duty Air Force F-100s were transferred from the 27th TFW to the Air National Guard.
The mission of the 27th TFW expanded in 1988 as a result of decisions made by the Secretary of Defense's Commission on Base Realignment and Closures when the 27th was equipped with the F-111G. (The "G" model was a conversion of the SAC FB-111A all-weather strategic bombing version of the F-111, which was originally intended as an interim successor to the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress and Convair B-58 Hustler.) These aircraft, less their nuclear delivery capability, were transferred to Cannon following the disbandment of SAC's 509th Bomb Wing at Pease AFB New Hampshire and the 380th Bomb Wing at Plattsburgh AFB, New York.
The F-111Gs were used primarily for training, but was scheduled to be supplanted in the training role by the F-111E. This made the F-111G surplus to USAF requirements, and the F-111G began to be transferred to AMARC for storage in 1991 with the arrival of the "E" models with the 428th TFTS. The last G model was sent to AMARC in 1993.
Personnel of the 27th TFW played a role during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. Aircrews and aircraft of the 27th did not deploy to the region, but support personnel and a combat support group element of the wing's 27th Combat Support Group, commanded by Colonel David Benson, deployed to Taif. On 16 January 1991, when the U.S. led coalition force initiated the Desert Storm air campaign against Iraq, the 27th TFW had 325 personnel serving in the Persian Gulf region in combat support roles.
On 1 November 1991, the 27 TFW was re-designated the 27th Fighter Wing as part of an Air Force-wide reorganization. In June 1992, the 27 FW became part of a new major command - Air Combat Command. ACC was created when SAC, TAC, and the Military Airlift Command merged to form two commands, ACC and the Air Mobility Command.
In addition, 27 FW replaced its F-111D models for the upgraded F-111F model. The F-111F differed from the F-111D in having more advanced electronics which were nevertheless simplified and more reliable, along with improved landing gear. From September 1992 to July 1993, 27 FW F-111 aircrews and support personnel rotated to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, in support of Operation PROVIDE COMFORT.
In 1995 the face of the flightline changed when the wing began its transition to General Dynamics F-16C/D aircraft. The first F-16s to arrive in May were assigned to the 522d Fighter Squadron. Also transitioning were the 523d and 524th Fighter Squadrons.
With the arrival of the F-16s, the F-111s were sent to AMARC. The 428th Fighter Squadron was inactivated in September 1995, and the ECW EF-111A-equipped 429 ECS was deactivated in May, 1998 with the 27th Fighter Wing officially holding a retirement ceremony in memorial park. The F-111 in various forms had been at Cannon AFB for 29 years. With their retirement, the 430 ECS was deactivated.
On 15 January 1998, the 524th Fighter Squadron ventured to the desert for their first overseas deployment since transitioning to the F-16. The 522d Fighter Squadron deployed to Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia in direct support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. They flew missions enforcing UN resolutions of no-fly zone over Southern Iraq. In March, the 523d Fighter Squadron also deployed to Southwest Asia in support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH.
These two 27 FW squadrons were the first F-16 unit to replace Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II units performing close air support. In addition, they were the first F-16 unit to maintain the demanding combat search and rescue alert in Southwest Asia. While deployed to the Gulf region in December 1998, the F-16s from the 522d Fighter Squadron provided close air support alert, defensive counter air alert and interdiction in Iraq.
In August, 1998, the 524th Fighter Squadron deployed to Hill AFB, Utah for exercise Combat Hammer. During the exercise, they dropped inert GBU-24 Paveway III laser guided bombs and fired live maverick antitank missiles on Utah test range. The hit rate was one of the highest ever seen in the Air Force, showcasing the lethality of the Block 40 F-16.
In 1998, the governments of the United States and Singapore signed an agreement laying the foundation of the Peace Carvin III program. As a Foreign Military Sales training program for the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), Peace Carvin III was designed for the continued training of RSAF in rapid deployment and tactical employment of the block 52 F-16C/D throughout a wide spectrum of missions including air-to-air, joint maritime and precision air-to-ground weapons delivery.
In support of Peace Carvin III, the 428th Fighter Squadron was reactivated on 12 November 1988 and tasked to take the lead in Peace Carvin III. The squadron was a hybrid of USAF and RSAF F-16C/D manned by USAF instructor pilots, Singaporean pilots and combined RSAF and USAF teams of maintenance and support personnel.
In May 1999, the 428th Fighter Squadron participated in its first official major exercise after its reactivation. The squadron deployed to Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, for exercise Combat Archer. The exercise was designed to test weapons capabilities, tactics and employment. This included the first live firing of radar-guided air-to-air AIM-7 Sparrow by the RSAF.
With the completion of Peace Carvin III, the 428 FS was deactivated on 6 July 2005.
In July 1999, the 522d Fighter Squadron deployed to Keflavik Naval Air Station, Iceland, to support NATO exercise Coronet Norsemen. They served primarily as the combat air arm of the Iceland Defense Force. In August 1999, the 523d Fighter Squadron relieved the 522d Fighter Squadron from Coronet Norsemen.
During Operation ALLIED FORCE in 1999, the 524th Fighter Squadron was notified for "on-call" duty to augment forces. Quick termination of hostilities precluded the 524th Fighter Squadron from seeing action.
On 11 September 2001 when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York City and The Pentagon in Washington, D.C., aircraft from the 27 FW went on air defense alert.
In December 2002, the 524 FS deployed to Kuwait and participated in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, dropping nearly a million pounds of precision guided munitions, more than any other F-16 Block 40 squadron in history.
In September 2007, the 522d Expeditionary Fighter Squadron wrapped up the final deployment for their squadron and, ultimately, the 27th Fighter Wing.
The 522d Fighter Squadron, known as the Fireballs, were inactivated upon their return to Cannon AFB and the 27 FW became the 27th Special Operations Wing on 1 October 2007. Among the units that will join the new 27th SOW are the 3rd SOS (UAVs), 73rd SOS (C-130s) and 318th SOS (light transport aircraft) as well as a squadron of CV-22s.

What I think …. Jets Quick Hits 6/4 – No Tebow!; My Wife 1st; Still Buzzin'
Posted by Erik Manassy on Jun 4, 2012 in Quick Hits | 0 comments
Here are some random quick hits for June 4th with my quick thoughts on each topic.
Does everything need to be about Tim Tebow, even when he's a footnote in the story?
Are fans being too tough on rookie Terrance Ganaway for not attending Mark's Jets West?
As a Mets fan, Friday night was magical. What are the chances I can get that feeling with the Jets sometime soon?
Hit 1: Everything Doesn't Need to be about Tebow!
jetstwit News worthy… Not so much. http://t.co/xkdino1o 6/4/12 9:59 AM |
e_man In the past the headline used to be "Sanchez to hold Jets West" now they are "Tebow to attend Jets West" … 6/4/12 9:33 AM |
Hey media, C'Mon already. Tim Tebow is ONE member of the team and if this story is going to be about any one QB, it should be Mark Sanchez! I mean, it's ONLY HIS CAMP. How about trying to put out a story without getting the TEBOW in a headline. You are now taking what was annoying to just absolutely silly and stupid. Get a clue, OK? My brother and I talk about this in our latest podcast.
I get why you are doing it, though. Tebow in the headline sells things. Selling things is good for your business. So you are selling out. Gotcha.
What the Headline should have been is below. Anyone of these would have been better than the Tebow Headline.
- Rookie not attending Jets West to Spend with Wife
- Holmes Currently not on the List to attend Jets West
- Sanchez to hold 3rd Annual Jets West Camp for Skill Players
- Why isn't Powell going to Jets West?
Thanks for checking in to read my posts. If you like this web site and would like to see what else I have to offer, be sure to browse on over to our other Jets blogs by Jets Twit!

Hit 2: No Thanks, I'm Hanging with my Wife
Speaking of Jets West, there is a list of players going. Two are on the bubble and one flat out said no because he's spending time with his wife. Rookie Running Back Terrance Ganaway is not traveling to CA.
Is that a big deal? I saw a ton of fans tweeting about the fact that Terrance should go to gel with his teammates. I'm on the fence on this one. It's not like he won't be seeing her during the season and yes when he goes to training camp, he will be away from her for a while. BUT, this is the life of the NFL. The Jets West camp has nothing to do with the Jets officially and is just something Mark does on his own.
Personally, I would go to the camp especially being it my first year. If I wasn't going though, I would have made a different excuse. To say you are hanging with your wife is great and noble but he will and IS being criticized for it unfairly. He comes across as very religious, I mean, his twitter ID is @REPCHRIST24 and he probably feels why should he dance around other people by not telling the truth.
He'll learn that the NFL, the media and the fans will look at everything he does fair or unfair. Welcome to the league Rook.
RepChrist24 Making positive strides today! 6/4/12 7:27 AM |

Not the prettiest crack in the Jungle, but one of the best protected and plenty fun. Primarily hands, this crack wavers in size and offers many different options. Follow the crack up and right using a large selection of holds, feet, and jams. Finish at a two-bolt, chain anchor. While cleaning this line, a few very old, unrecognizable bones were found buried in the crack....ancestors?
On a small face between Dr. Livingstone, I Presume? and A Fez for Your Monkey. This is about five feet left of the bolted route Monkey Business.
A single set of cams up to five inches, and a few quick draws.
Not so ugly but the interesting thing were the bones, including the mystery vertebra that was extracted on the cleaning and will be submitted for further study.

Wow, that's just ridiculous. How many more crummy products can they milk from the star wars world? I mean Star Wars was great but then you add in the Ewok Adventure, the holiday special, the second trilogy, the cartoon, the books, the mass amount of collectibles, and a shocking number of video games. Now this. Haven't they made enough money off of Star Wars? They should have let it die gracefully before people start to hate it but then they wouldn't have made nearly as much money. I'm sure this animated movie will make money even if it is horrible. That's just sad.

Star Wars as a big screen cartoon? I don't know about that. Ewoks Adventure, anyone? Or the whole Xmas special thing?
"Welcome to the party, pal."
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."
"When am I gonna learn how to punch?"
"These go to eleven."
"Benjamin, have you ever been severely beaten about the face & neck?"
"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

Student Art Highlights Opening Gallery Show
Student artists display their best works — including sculptures, paintings and mixed media — in the opening show of the Flora Kirsch Beck Gallery at Alma College.
The Annual Juried Student Art Show continues through Thursday, Oct 6. Admission is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. A gallery reception takes place from 4 to 5 p.m. Oct 6.
Located on the first floor of the Clack Art Center on the Alma College campus, the gallery hosts three art shows per semester. Visitors are welcome to absorb and benefit from the creative artwork on display.
A student works in a Clack Art Center studio.
The annual student show features the work of the previous academic year from Alma College students at every phase of their career, including recently graduated seniors, says Daniel Connolly, who was newly appointed as the gallery director this year. Connolly, who teaches art history, joined the Alma College art faculty in the fall of 2009.
Art department faculty selected the artwork for the student show. Pieces are arranged within the show according to theme rather than media.
"One part of the room could be about portraiture, another could be historical ceramics," says Connolly. "The pieces are placed so that shapes and forms work together."
Among the students currently featured in the show is junior Meghan Cheyne. Her featured works include three sculptures, among them a ceramic self-portrait, and a pair of two-dimensional pieces.
"The gallery workers do such a great job of setting up each piece in its ideal spot," says Cheyne, "Seeing my work on display in the spotlight is a little unnerving. I'm used to having my face inches from it, covered in dust and dirt."
Sophomore Josh Gove has not just one or two pieces of his work on display, but eight.
"I am grateful to have the opportunity to display my work," he says. "I'm very honored."

They've decided to sell sustainable shrimp and salmon, decided to sell only hormone-free milk, invested in organic cotton and told their vast supply networks to stop wasting so much energy and materials on unnecessary packaging and transportation.
Now, the folks over at Wal-Mart have pledged to use more wood from sustainable, certified forests, and to phase out wood from clear-cut and illegal forests. The world's largest retailer struck the deal with WWF, a major international conservation organization. Wal-Mart will spend one year assessing the sources of its wood products, and then it will eliminate any unsustainable sources from its supply chain.
The end result for consumers should be the assurance that any wood-based product you buy at Wal-Mart, from office paper to a new end table, should be derived from a forest that will live on after the logging.
With nearly half of the worlds forests already gone, action is urgently needed, said Suzanne Apple, WWF-US vice-president for Business & Industry. Wal-Marts commitment to support responsible forestry answers that call to action.
The step is another example of Wal-Mart using its enormous market clout to make a positive difference. For years, the retailer was known for bullying local officials, making ghost towns of small town business districts and providing low-cost products at the expense of organized labor and the environment. But in the last few years, Wal-Mart is making a new name for itself as it seeks to improve its environmental performance and find innovative ways to save money, energy and the unnecessary use of natural resources.
When it comes to wood products, both legal and illegal, the United States is the No. 1 consumer, according to WWF. Because Wal-Mart is such a large retailer, the choices it makes could affect the entire industry. Most wood purveyors would want to keep the option of supplying to Wal-Mart open, and that means doing a better job protecting the forests that yield their products.

Though much of the material is fascinating, the book, it has to be said, can be pretty hard going. The short story "The Anarchist Banker," for instance, yields some brilliant insights into the problem of revolutionary action but has no story to tell at all. Likewise, "The Mariner," a "static drama" in one act, is just that — static — and "The Master and His Disciples," a conversation between Pessoa and two of his heteronyms, is filled with philosophical disputes likely to strike a philosopher as amateurish and everyone else as abstruse.
What I found myself drawn to, as a reader relatively new to Pessoa, were the sections that touched on him personally. This is ironic, since in Pessoa's opinion there was no "person" there. The lack of a sense of identity, of a dominant "I," was a major theme in Pessoa's work and evidently a torture to him in life. As he put it in a poem by Ricardo Reis:
Countless lives inhabit us.
I don't know, when I think or feel,
Who it is that thinks or feels.
I am merely the place
Where things are thought or felt.
Clearly there is something universally attractive about this lack of a sense of self — to the point where, one hears, Pessoa tourism in Lisbon threatens to outdo Kafka tourism in Prague. "For me the outer world is an inner reality," he wrote in Disquiet. "I feel this not in some metaphysical way but with the senses normally used to grasp reality." That open channel between inner and outer left Pessoa at the mercy of the world, and able to express, as few writers have been, the solitary soul's sense of being overwhelmed by it. Zenith's selection from Disquiet ends with a passage in which Pessoa learns of the death of a local barber. As much as a brief quotation can do, it gives a good sense both of the writer and of the man:
A chill swept over all my thoughts. I said nothing.
Nostalgia! I even feel it for people and things that were nothing to me, because time's fleeing is for me an anguish, and life's mystery is a torture. Faces I habitually see on my habitual streets — if I stop seeing them I become sad. And they were nothing to me, except perhaps the symbol of all of life.
The nondescript old man with dirty gaiters who often crossed my path at 9:30 in the morning . . . The crippled seller of lottery tickets who would pester me in vain . . . The pale tobacco shop owner . . . What has happened to them all, who because I regularly saw them were a part of my life? Tomorrow I too will vanish from the Rua da Prata . . . Tomorrow I too — I this soul that feels and thinks, this universe I am for myself — yes, tomorrow I too will be the one who no longer walks these streets, whom others will vaguely evoke with a "What's become of him?" And everything I've done, everything I've felt and everything I've lived will amount merely to one less passerby on the everyday streets of some city or other.

Sacrament by Clive Barker
There is one Clive Barker novel that is not in print in America: Sacrament. The reasons are inscrutable -- this is a crime. But, sly dogs that we are, we've managed to snag a couple of import copies. Sacrament is one of the man's best, and some believe it is his most personal. It's definitely worth your time, and it's the perfect gift for the discerning Barker/fantasy/horror fanatic.

Home Features Portraits LUCKY TO BE ALIVE
By Dick Mason Observer Staff Writer UNION  Never underestimate the power of $5 or a horse lover's compassion. This is a lesson to be learned from Lucky, fast becoming one of Union's most popular and visible residents. Four months ago Lucky was a quarter horse of dangerously little weight and little future. Suddenly he had $5 to his name and the first chapter of a story as heart warming as the story of Seabiscuit was ready to be written. It starts with Pat Stitzel of Union. Stitzel spotted Lucky at a La Grande sale yard in late October. He noticed that the gelding was dramatically underweight. The horse, who is 15 hands  five-feet  tall, weighed only 950 pounds. He was so skinny that he almost looked like a walking X-ray. The gelding's undernourished condition tugged at Stizel's heart, so he purchased him for $5. "I was taking a chance, just like we do every day when we get up,'' Stitzel said. "I was just helping out a good old saddle horse.'' A few days later Stitzel was having coffee at the The Hut in Union, which he and his wife, Laurie, manage. Pat Stitzel mentioned the horse to Lezlie Posey, a waitress at The Hut. Her curiosity piqued, Posey went to see him. Posey, who grew up with horses, was drawn to the gelding almost instantly. "I totally fell in love with him,'' Posey said. Stitzel then gave the quarter horse to Posey and let her keep it at his place. "He was a neat old horse who needed some TLC. I went on a mission to make sure he got it,'' Posey said. One of the first things she did was name the horse Lucky because "he was darn lucky to be alive.'' Posey, queen of the 1978 Eastern Oregon Livestock Show, treated Lucky like a king. She got him veterinarian care and began providing him with regular meals of hay. Posey did not provide Lucky alfalfa at first, fearing he was not strong enough to digest it properly. Lucky began gaining weight, but slowly at first. This was fine with Posey. "It would not have been good for him to gain too much weight too quickly,'' she said. Soon Lucky was filling out like a colt, gaining an average of 15 to 20 pounds a week. To date he has gained 225 pounds but is shy of his ideal weight. "He still needs to gain 100 to 200 pounds,'' Posey said. Lucky is a far cry from the horse of four months ago who was so thin he could not bear the weight of a rider. Today Lucky is strong enough to be ridden for short periods. Posey has ridden him briefly three times. She hopes to later take Lucky to the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show grounds track and ride him as long as he wants to run and trot. In the interim Lucky, believed to be 20 to 28 years old, is becoming one of Union's most visible joggers. Posey takes the horse on trots with her car. It is a picturesque sight, with Posey holding a rope attached to Lucky's halter while she drives alongside him as he trots. Posey usually drives alongside Lucky for a half hour though the streets of Union. Posey drives because because she can't walk or run with Lucky for long "because my knees are so bad.'' Lucky looks forward to the runs the way a dog does a walk. This is obvious when Posey puts the halter on him. "He puts his head right in. He gets excited,'' Posey said. Lucky's weight may be going up but is hair has been falling out. At least it was until about two weeks ago when it was determined that he had an infection that was causing clumps of hair to come out. A six-day series of penicillin shots appears to curbing this problem. Lucky's coat will soon look better not only because the infection is clearing up. It will also perk up because he will be given a bath once the weather warms up. Posey has not been able to give Lucky a bath since she got him. "It has been too cold to bathe him. I don't want him to get sick,'' his owner said. Whether being cleaned, ridden or walked, Lucky always seems to have an agreeable nature. He doesn't seem to be afraid of people despite his apparent mistreatment earlier. "He's a total sweetheart,'' Posey said. Children may be a part of his future as a result. "He is so easy going,'' Posey said." He would make a great horse for kids someday.'' And exhibit A for anyone looking for a reason to believe in the power of compassion. "A lot of TLC does go a long way,'' Posey said. COMMUNITY PITCHES IN It takes a village to raise a child. It also takes a village to restore a horse's health. Lezlie Posey of Union said that she could not have brought Lucky back to health without the help of many people in her community. "I did not do it alone. I have many people to thank,'' Posey said. Those who have provided important assistance include:  Pat and Laurie Stitzel of Union who let Posey keep Lucky at their ranch for several months.  Veterinarian Mark Omann who de-wormed Lucky for no charge.  Linda McReynolds of Union who is letting Lucky stay on her property.  Duane Tyler of Union who is providing much of Lucky's food.  Bronson Lumber Co. in Union which allows Lucky to be weighed regularly on its scale for free. |

Distractions while driving is a problem for all drivers, which is why the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) passed the hands-free ruling banning cell phone use by CMV drivers. So, what does this mean, and more importantly, how does it affect owner operator drivers?
The new hands-free ruling restricts CMV drivers from:
- Holding a mobile phone to conduct a voice communication.
- Dialing by pressing more than one button.
- Reaching in an unsafe manner (such as under the seats) for a mobile phone.
Anyone who violates this hands-free ruling could be fined up to $2,750, and, if you are a truck driver, your motor carrier could face a fine up to $11,000. There's also the possibility of driver disqualification and license revocation. So, here's the bottom line: this is a serious ruling that's going to be enforced.
This hands-free ruling is designed to help reduce the distraction that happens when drivers are reaching for or dialing on their cell phone. Research has shown that using a cell phone while driving is actually more distracting than eating or adjusting an instrument in your cab. And, since more and more fatalities are attributed to distractions while driving, this is one way to hopefully keep the roads safer.
Now, it's unrealistic to think that truck drivers aren't going to communicate with other drivers and their carriers. That's why this hands-free ruling has certain devices that are exempt, and that owner operator drivers can still use. What are some of the things you can use instead of your cell phone?
- CB Radios
- GPS Devices
- SYNC or Bluetooth Devices
- Fleet Management Systems
As CMV owner operator drivers, we have to keep a lot of things at top priority: safety, time, communication, and reliability. The good news is, with technology and other helpful tools we can help keep ourselves productive and safe on the road. So, while it might seem at first like this new hands-free ruling is going to be a giant pain, there are actually some pretty easy ways to get around the rule while keeping communication intact.
For more truck driver safety tips and information on truck driving regulations, or if you're interested in becoming an owner operator driver with Greatwide, be sure to connect with us on LinkedIn. Then, check out what other truckers are discussing on our Facebook and follow our Twitter page.

The wing went up effortlessly and we proceded to head up the course to try and go for a sail.
She sails!!!
In the greyest of days, VESTAS sailrocket 2 headed across to 'speed-spot' with her wing sail in place.
Chucking it down...
The weather is pretty messy here right now with thunderstorms coming from all directions. As I sit here tapping away in the container, the rain is pouring down outside and thunder is rumbling around outside. I came down in the middle of the night last night due to the onset of strong winds when normally things quieten down. We were awoken by the house dog whimpering outside due to the thunder.
It's all very unusual.
First video of VESTAS SR2 sea trials.
Here is the link to the previous days towing trials.
We are just gearing up now to head out for our first sail... albeit with a small wing. The wind is around 12-15.
This will be a good day.
Enjoy the vid.
Cheers, Paul.

This brainteaser, reportedly written by Einstein is difficult and Einstein said that 98% of the people in the world could not figure it out. Which percentage are you in?
There are five houses in a row in different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of a cigar and keep a different pet, one of which is a walleye Pike.
The question is=who owns the fish?
-The Brit lives in the red house.
-The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
-The Dane drinks tea.
-The green house is on the left of the white house.
-The green house owner drinks coffee.
-The person who smokes Pall Malls keeps birds.
-The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
-The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
-The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
-The Norwegian lives in the first house.
-The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
-The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
-The German smokes Princes.
-The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
-The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
There are no tricks, pure logic will get you the correct answer. And yes, there is enough information to arrive at the conclusion.
My sister and my Mom got it. But they are really good at math and stuff. Tell me if you got it. P.S. I do know the answer.

NORTHERN Health chief executive Greg Pullen has warned of service and job cuts following the Federal Government's decision to reduce health funding.
In an email to all staff, Mr Pullen said the health provider would lose $4 million of $107 million slashed from Victorian hospital budgets.
He said the cuts could mean job losses, closing beds and shelving plans for expansion.
In order to achieve $4 million in savings in just over six months, Mr Pullen said he would have to reconsider opening a seventh operating theatre and expanding cardiac services across Northern Health, which comprises The Northern Hospital in Epping, Broadmeadows Health Service, Bundoora Extended Care Centre, Craigieburn Health Service and Panch Health Service in Preston.
"It will also mean that waiting list numbers will increase, beds will have to close and we may need to shed some jobs," Mr Pullen said.
But Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek said the Federal Government's investment in Victoria's health system continued to grow.
She said the 2012-13 Budget update released by the Commonwealth confirmed that funding for health in Victoria would increase by 26 per cent over the next four years, from $3.6 billion in 2012-13 to $4.5 billion in 2015-16.
Ms Plibersek said the state Health Minister, David Davis, had failed to take $100 million in federal funding on offer.
Mr Davis said the Commonwealth Treasury cuts were based on a "shonky reading of Australian Bureau of Statistics population data".

The second in Enoch's series on the Griffin family tells the story of Zachary Griffin, the feckless youngest brother. Watching the aimless Zach find a purpose was every bit as enjoyable as watching him find love.
Zach's latest scheme is to join a regiment sure to see some action in the Peninsula as he is not suited by interest or temperament to take part in any of the family businesses. His elder brother, the Duke of Melbourne, believes this to be just another phase Zach is going through, just like his past attempts to join the church, or train racehorses or oversee land management – but this phase could get him killed, something the duke is not willing to risk and he has the power to keep Zach from being accepted in the army. Melbourne make him a deal: Zach will escort their Aunt Tremaine to Bath, and if he proves he can maintain some patience, restraint and responsibility, they will revisit the army idea. Then Melbourne flippantly suggests that Zach get a puppy and start small in the responsibility department. The puppy will provide many funny bits in the telling of Zach's story, as well as acting as a barometer for his progress in seeing something through to the end.
Seething and in high dudgeon, Zach and his aunt are on their way to Bath when she decides to stop along the way to visit her old school friend. The Witfields are a family of modest means with seven daughters. The eldest, Caroline, is an artist who, after many rejections, is finally accepted at an artist's studio in Vienna. She just has one more hurdle to navigate: she must submit a portrait of an aristocrat with a signed affidavit from the subject attesting to his satisfaction with the product. The Witfield family can no longer afford to pay for her art supplies or even her continued support, what with six other daughters to keep and dower. If Caroline is not accepted, she must marry or take the governess position recently offered to her.
For Caroline, the arrival of the handsome Lord Zachary Griffin is the answer to her prayers. He agrees to sit for her and so their romance begins. Caroline has a smart mouth and tends to snort when she laughs, both of which Zach finds charming. And the fact that she is the only Witfield daughter who is not relentlessly pursuing Zach, only adds to her attractions. She is quite taken with him as well, but is driven by her art. She has a purpose, a goal and a plan for her life that Zach completely lacks. He admires that about her and begins to admit to himself that joining the army was just one more desperate grasp at finding a life for himself.
As part of Zach's new goal of taking responsibility, he decides to whip the Witfield household into shape and teach the giggling mass of daughters how to attract a man – but not him! – and make themselves more marriageable. The Witfield girls were my least favorite part of this book. They annoyed the heck out of me and we spend way too much time with them, but they do serve to show Zach's basic good heart and generous nature.
Zach goes through a steep growth arc in An Invitation to Sin. He has to face some hard truths about his own uselessness, admit that he has been wandering through life and make some difficult decisions. The time in his life when he was happiest and looking forward to what the next day would bring was when he was on his Grand Tour. He reveled in art and unusual food and strange places and new experiences. Sharing this with Caroline strengthens their bond and makes him wonder if there some way he can put his natural curiosity to some practical use. Caroline changes less during the book – she is definitely the grown up of the relationship – though she does come to question her priorities and whether there is room for more in her life than art.
After having a major problem with Enoch's last book, I am pleased to report that I enjoyed this book very much. Enoch's humor and insight into human foibles is in fine form and readily in evidence in An Invitation to Sin.

Rio Ferdinand says the return of Paul Scholes has been key in Manchester United's push for a 20th league title and wants the 37-year-old to play on past the summer.
Scholes shocked everyone when he came out of retirement on the day the Reds last travelled to City - for an FA Cup third round tie in January - and now, ahead of a match widely agreed to be the most important derby of all time, Ferdinand has heaped praise on the pass master.
"There are a number of reasons why we've done well since the turn of the year," he told United's official matchday programme, United Review. "There's no doubt one of them is Paul Scholes. Would we have been in the same position [without him]? It's impossible to say. It's great to have him back, though.
"It's not just the quality of his football that impresses me but the way he's adapted physically. He was out of the game for months and yet he's come straight back into top-level football and he's hardly looked out of place. At this stage of his career, that's phenomenal."
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson revealed last weekend he has not spoken with Scholes about the possibility of continuing into the 2012/13 season, for fear of clouding the midfielder's mind with issues that are secondary to the team's current focus of winning the league.
"I'm not going to ask him until the end of the season," Sir Alex said. "I don't want to put anything in his mind at all.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C A+F Campus Resources: The athletic center is not available to students who are not enrolled in a fitness class. Their is quite a few diverse options when it comes to campus activities, including China week and other cultural events.
B A+F Campus Resources: The Internet speed is fantastic, however it occasionally does not work, which makes it difficult to take online classes.
C A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: Because I am in a honors program, the tuition costs quite a bit more, which was unexpected. However, the advisers and administrators of the program are much more helpful, so it seems worth the money.
C A+F Academic Flexibility: While looking into transferring to a four-year university, I discovered that most of my credits are likely to not transfer, which is extremely frustrating. However, because I am in an honors program, the advisers are unbelievably helpful and always available for questions.
C A+F Facilities: My school has a lot of green lawn space, and artists often play music during the spring and summer quarters.
F A+F Career Services: There are no post-grad services at my school.
C A+F Overall Experience: I enjoy that my school is very active in helping students with the transfer process. However, if I could do it again I would instead go strait to a University rather than complete my AA Degree at a community college because I often feel that academics are not very important at the community college I am attending.
A A+F Online Courses: Online classes tend to be easier to fit into my schedule. The work load is less than a normal class, however the peer-to-peer interaction is minimal.
A A+F Student Body: I feel that my school is very diverse as there is an array of students with different ethnic, sexual, and religious backgrounds. However, most students seem to have very similar economic and political backgrounds. Students at this school tend to be very accepting of diversity.
C A+F Academic Experience: I am currently at a Community College, and have not declared my major yet.
B A+F Academic Experience: Most teachers are very willing to help students after class hours, which is very helpful. The class registration process can be frustrating because the classes needed to complete an AA degree often fill up extremely fast.
C A+F Overall Experience: For a community college, Spokane Falls actually does an exceptional job. Though I have only taken online classes, I am very satisfied with my experience here and would definitely recommend this school.
C A+F Online Courses: Online classes are confusing in the beginning but once you launch into them the course material is rather great. It is almost easier to follow along online with the course than in a regular classroom because it is all spelled out for you and in one spot.
C A+F Facilities: SFCC is average in that it has the necessary facilities related to it being a community college and not a university. In general I would say that it is just average overall.
C A+F Campus Resources: They are okay. The athletic center is small and only offered to students with a class there making it difficult fro other students who want to get fit. The lab is small and often times you cannot find an open computer to do your homework and studies on, which can be frustrating. Campus activities are limited and few and far between making campus life not as fun as it could be.
A A+F Campus Resources: With extra funds the school has been constructing new buildings or updating the ones already there. New desks/tables, wireless internet access, elevators for handicapped.
C A+F Campus Resources: There is wireless internet access across campus. It's great except every now and then done of us get kicked off the internet. Even those on the computer connect to the Ethernet get kicked off and kicked out of their online class.
C A+F Online Courses: It's alright. Personally I'm more of a face to face student. The main problem with our online classes in American Honors is our audio bridge. We use adobe connect to have classes but it isn't as great as face to face classes for me personally.
B A+F Academic Flexibility: The teachers are great. Being in the American Honors program I have an advisor that helps immensely with any problems. I'm a first year so I really don't have to worry about transferring but again my advisor is helping me make sure I take classes that will transfer.
B A+F Facilities: It's a great campus. Very easy to travel from one building to another. The facilities and campus ground are clean. Just the other day I saw people cleaning up leaves, there are a lot of trees on campus. Almost everyday there are guest speakers to discuss with students school life, stress, being if color or a woman, information on AIDS and so many more topics.
A A+F Student Body: There is every kind of person imaginable at my school. There are many clubs that connect all the different people. We have LGBT, anime, multicultural with subcategory clubs, drama, art, and so many more. It's amazing all the different people you get to meet.
D A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: Didn't really receive much information or help from financial aid office so I have loans. Emailed them questions and they never got back to me.
B A+F Overall Experience: There is an American Honors program that I am enrolled in and it's amazing. Have made so many friends and have my own advisor who knows me as a person. Smaller class sizes and more one on one with the professors. I would choose this school again mainly because of the American Honors program.
Career Services: Once I complete my course work here, I plan on attending a four year college and getting a Ph. D and becoming a pediatrician. The counselors have been helpful in guiding me towards possible scholarships and assisting me in completing applications for the colleges I am interested in attending next Fall.
B A+F Student Body: I have had the opportunity to meet many new people with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Everyone seems to be very accepting of diversity, no matter what kind. The biggest challenge I have faced has been my age. I entered the Running Start program at the age of 15. I have had multiple people think I don't know much or I'm just a "kid" because of my age. Fortunately, they have gotten to know me and realize I am very similar to them.

Written by Evan Windham
Spokane Falls Community College (SFCC) is a great school for commuters or for those who just want the basic education and to then be done. Overall, SFCC has its positive and negative elements, just like any school, but it has many problems in the counseling and financial aid departments; these offices are anything but seamless, nor are they easy to get what you need with an initial quick-visit contact. While resolving any issues regarding your academics, be prepared to be inconvenienced. The school provides little support to students in most every way, as the College isn't very helpful as a guiding force in students' career search. Instead, the responsibility is mostly on the student.
There are people who have had a successful experience at this school, and others that have not; it differs based on how well the student is proactive in his or her own education and learning. The College has a reputation for being the first stop for high school graduates or for those seeking a certification in a particular program. Like any school, make sure that you have a very detailed plan of what you want to do with your education so that you can remain focused on your goal while attending SFCC.

DJ Rekha, New York's Bhangra DJ
For the last ten (10!) years Rekha Malhotra a.k.a. DJ Rekha has been spinning the wheels of steel in New York clubs, introducing and spreading the Bhangra vibe.
Last fall, after nine years of Djing, DJ Rekha has moved on to the next step of her career, releasing her debut CD "Basement Bhangra." This isn't just any CD, it's got some weight behind it. Koch Records is the label behind the album.
Even the title track, which was co-produced by Wyclef Jean of the Fugees features vocals by fellow NY native Bikram Singh, and a verse from Wyclef.
The rest of the album is a compilation of tracks, which takes listeners on a musical journey with some of the biggest songs recorded over the past, with contributions from the likes of Zeus, PMC, and Bally Sagoo.
To purchase or sample the album, check out Amazon.com
If you're in the NY area and need your Bhangra fix, hit up S.O.B.'s on the first Thursday of every month.

Political Sign Design
Political Sign Design
Whatever your political affiliation; Republican, Democrat, or other - Victory is your goal - use these tips to help make it happen.
A common theme that we always recommend in the design of any signage is K.I.S. or Keep It Simple. K.I.S. is especially true for Political Campaign Signs. Remember that campaign signs are usually placed in a yard or on a lawn of a residence or business and most of the viewing occurs from motor vehicles which are traveling at speeds of 5 – 45 MPH. This means that the viewer has only 1 to 3 seconds - a very short time to see and read your sign. Your goal is to grab your viewers attention and then communicate your message as quickly as possible.
Below are some basic recommendations for Political Sign Design Basics, Font (Type Style), Sign Color Combinations, Signage Substrates, and Sign Mounting Stakes.
Political Sign Design Basics:
Remember to keep it simple (K.I.S.) – Your target viewers basically only need remember your name and the political office which you are campaigning for. The fewer letters a sign contains the larger (more visible) the words will be, remember there is only a limited amount of space. Only use necessary text.
Name or Issue
Obviously the most important information your sign will contain. Last names often will suffice unless there is a reason to separate your name from someone running for the same or another office.
Political Office
Again, Keep It Simple. For example, -For Mayor- may work better than -For Mayor of Sumpter Charter Township-. It is also recommended that if an incumbent is running for office that RE-ELECT, KEEP or something similar is noted on the yard sign.
Political Disclaimer
It is your responsibility to find out the requirements for the disclaimer clause and give this information to your screen printer. Disclaimers vary from local to local. State and federal laws vary with regard to notices which must be printed and identification of those responsible for purchasing, publishing, or distributing political advertising. The exact wording, location, and required size are dictated by the election board governing your campaign.
Font (Type Style)
The more fonts used, the more difficult a campaign sign will be to read, so limit your font choices to one or two per layout. Sans serif fonts like Arial and Helvetica are the easiest to read from a distance and in most cases should be used for the primary message. Likewise fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Benguiat, and Cooper are appropriate for the secondary message.
Yard Sign Color Combinations
The following list shows the most readable and successful color combinations in order of viewing effectiveness. Color combinations with high contrast between the background and letters are easier to read and can be seen from greater viewing distances. Always consider type of office or issue when choosing campaign sign color combinations.
Black on White
Yellow on Black
White on Blue

Yard Sign Substrate Materials
Corrugated Plastic Sign Substrate
Corrugated Plastic is an all weather material approximately 3/16 inch thick. SignOutfitters.com corru gated plastic yard signs are waterproof and screen printed for outdoor durability. Corrugated Plastic yard signs can be used again and again and have the longest life span of any temporary outdoor signage. Great for candidates who run for the same office repeatedly.
Polyethylene Bag Signs
Poly Bag Signs are made from weather proof heavy duty polyethylene with an opaque lining to eliminate see-thru. Generally available only in bulk quantities. This type of exterior signage has a short life span with very limited reusability. Polyethylene bags deteriorate rapidly in the harmful UV rays of the sun. These signs may get brittle and crack after long term exposure. Poly bag signs tend to create litter due to the cracking of the polyethlene plastic.
Fold Over Paper (Weatherproof Posterboard) Signs
These signs continue to be the one of the popular choices for political campaigns. They are often called Political Posters. The most popular size is 22 inches wide x 28 inches tall. Typically, weather resistant posterboard signs are printed on one side with two identical images and folded in half to make a double sided sign which is 14 inches tall and 22 inches wide. These signs are made from poly-coated weather proof poster board. These are also screen printed. Paper Signs are folded in half, than either stapled or glued shut. Outdoor life span is shorter than corrugated plastic yard signs with limited reusability. Weather Resistant Poster Board Election Yard Signs from Signoutfitters.com are made from 24 point, 6 ply, poly coated (2 sides) weather resistant poster board. This is the best in the industry for temporary outdoor / indoor signs, especially political posters. Our signs are UV screen printed for indoor and outdoor durability.
Sample political sign slogans below are free for you to use or modify to fit your needs:
