Well I'm 5 months into my new career, and this is for a small custom software company with some pretty big and important clients (wont say because I'm honestly not sure how much I can say). But they are on a manufacturing and production/importing level. Regardless, anything they've handed me, I've been capable of spitting back out as fast as it was handed to me, and of quality above everyone's expectations. Simply because I know how to code, and code well.. The only area I lack is understanding a business of this caliber. I don't have a business degree, and in fact I have no degrees whatsoever. I'm just a damn finer coder, and I don't mean to brag, but in 9th grade I was building fully functional AIM Client software comparable to the one provided by AOL at the time. This is why I got hired in the first place. Now this new project I'm being handed is way outside of my comfort zone. To build software for a company, you must first know how that type of company works. The pressure is on, and became real the day they promoted me to production manager for this project, and handed the responsibility for finishing the tablet version start to finish. So my true questions lay here; where can I read to begin understanding the inner workings of a production facility enough to begin writing software that manages one?, is there any advice anyone can give me from their own experience with a project such as this?, and what would be some realistic goals I should set for myself when working on this type of project?. Do take in account that for the most part, it will be me and my boss working on this project. Mostly me because I've come to realize I am his predecessor, simply so he can focus on running his business, while I take over doing what he had to, to start his business.
Thanks in advance everyone! Wish me luck!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Arizona Department of Health website is a great resource for information on medical marijuana. You can find their FAQ section here.
Here are some other frequently asked questions not covered on the Arizona Department of Health website.
What if an applicant tests positive in a pre-employment drug test?
You cannot refuse to hire the applicant automatically. Employers cannot discriminate against applicants for medical marijuana use if the applicant is a registered cardholder. Determine whether the applicant is a registered cardholder. If he is, then the employer cannot base the hiring decision on the applicant's medical marijuana use outside of work. If marijuana use outside of work poses a safety risk, you may be able to refuse to hire the applicant. In addition, an employer who would lose a federal license by employing a marijuana user is not required to employ him. This analysis is complex and it is recommended that you seek legal advice in this situation.
What if a current employee tests positive for marijuana on a
drug test?
You cannot automatically terminate the employee. Determine if he is a registered cardholder. If he is a registered cardholder, and was not using marijuana at the workplace and was not impaired on the job, then the employer may not terminate, discipline or discriminate against the employee. Marijuana will be treated like any other lawfully prescribed drug that may impair an employee's functioning at work.
What other restrictions apply to the use or possession of medical marijuana?
The law does not allow a cardholder to smoke marijuana in any public place (including public transportation) or to possess marijuana on a school bus, preschool or primary or secondary school or in any correctional facility. The law also does not change existing laws that prohibit the operation, navigation or being in actual physical control or any motor vehicle, aircraft or motorboat while under the influence of marijuana.
Could patients purchase an unlimited amount of marijuana?
No. All patients in the state would be entered into a networked database to which all dispensaries would be linked. To purchase marijuana at any dispensary, a patient would have to provide a personalized ID card from the state. By linking sales to the patient's ID card, it will be possible to enforce the provision prohibiting patients from acquiring more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana collectively in any two-week period.
Does medical marijuana have to be smoked?
Medical marijuana is no doubt healthier for you than many of the prescription pills on the market today. Many people however do not like the idea of smoking anything to take away their pain, or help them feel better.
This brings the question, does medical marijuana have to be smoked, or are there other ways to use marijuana as medicine, without the stigma that comes with smoking? The truth is, there are many ways to use medical marijuana without smoking it, and some of these methods of using marijuana as medicine – don't even get you "high"!
Many people still prefer smoking medical marijuana over other methods, for various reasons. The main reason many medical marijuana users like to smoke their medicine is, it is the fasted acting method of use. When you smoke marijuana, the cannabinoids (compounds that contain the medical properties) are absorbed by the lungs and into the bloodstream. The results are felt almost instantaneous. Also, when smoking marijuana for medical use, it is easy to regulate dose. For example, you first wake up and are in pain. In many cases, a few puffs from a joint (rolled marijuana cigarette), or pipe is enough to get you up and moving, without making you too "medicated" or "high" feeling. Other times, like before bed, may require a patient to use more. In this case they just take a few extra puffs, and get a little more of the "effect".
Other methods of using medical marijuana include:
- Using a Vaporizer
- Medicated Marijuana Capsules
- Medical Marijuana Edibles
- Marijuana Infused Oils
- Medicated Topical Balms/Rubs
- Marijuana Tictures

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California Department of Motor Vehicles is launching a new way for people to get information, called the "DMV Answer man."
The "Answer Man" will answer many frequently asked questions such as how to register your car for the first time, how to get a California driver license, and what happens if your car fails the smog test among many others.
According to DMV, "We believe that our customers will enjoy getting to know the DMV Answer man and will hopefully look forward to his future video appearances," said Department of Motor Vehicles Chief Deputy Director, Jean Shiomoto. "We are always looking for innovative ways to provide information to our customers."
During the summer, DMV hit the streets and prompted citizens to ask the DMV Answer man DMV-related questions. The Answer man answers each question in his humorous style, telling funny antidotes about himself or his friends and family while getting important DMV points across.
There will be a total of nine DMV Answer man videos that will be periodically posted on the Web with new installments coming in the future.
Don't Stand In Line, Go Online! Doing business with the DMV has never been easier. The DMV offers an array of services to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through its Website including online appointments for written and drive tests; vehicle registration and driver license renewals, selection of personalized license plates, changes of address and payment of fees via secure debit transactions. Customers can also effect transactions by calling DMV customer service at (800) 777-0133. DMV is a department under the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency.

Tiny and affordable, the i-gotU can record your location every few seconds. When you get back to the keyboard, its @tripPC software can insert GPS data into your JPEG files and map them and your route on a Google Map
The i-gotU GT-120 was very accurate in tracking and logging my location. Once I arrived in Shanghai, China, I immediately turned it on and began to use it. When I flew to Beijing then over to Seoul, South Korea, its tracking was precise as shown on the pictures below. Moreover, the battery life was superb
The device as a whole is water resistant so you don't have to worry about sweat, rain, or water getting into the device and messing it up. It weighs only 20g and features a built-in SiRF Star III low power chipset. I've used it several times to map short and long routes and it works very well.

My son is pretty sport crazy and says he can't wait to play football. The problem is that I really don't want him to play football because of how rough it is and how often people get hurt. I've tried getting him to play soccer and baseball, which he enjoys, but he always comes back to the idea of football. Am I a horrible mother if I don't let him play? At least not while he is a little kid? --Julie, Strongmoms facilitator
We have a pretty fun "flag football" team around here for kids. They have the fun of playing football without the pads and the collisions that parents worry about!
Flag football leagues are sponsored by the NFL in many communities and allow young boys to play football without many of the violent collisions associated with tackle football. Great suggestion Mommy RN!
I had forgotten about flag football - thanks for the tip!
I was remiss in only saying young boys play flag football... I believe many of these leagues are co-ed and provide an opportunity for girls to participate as well!
You're right AnswerDad....there are several young coed teams around here!

Ibn Al-Haytham on Eye and Brain, Vision and Perception
Professor Charles G. Gross*
Note of the editor
This article had been published as Charles G. Gross: Ibn al-Haytham on Eye and Brain, Vision and Perception, Bulletin of Islamic Medicine (Kuwait Ministry of Public Health [and] National Council of Culture, Arts and Letters), vol. 3- 1981, pp. 309-312 (this journal is indexed here). We thank Professor Charles G. Gross for the permission he granted us to republish the article on www.MuslimHeritage.com.
* * *
Figure 1: Two views of the frontispice of the first edition of the Latin translation of Ibn al-Haytham's Book of Optics: Opticae Thesaurus...Libri Septem, nunc primùm editi. Eiusdem liber De Crepusculis & Nubium ascensionibus. Item Vitellonis...Libri X. Omnes instaurati, figuris illustrati & aucti, adjectis etiam in Alhazenum commentariis, a Federico Risnero. Basel: Episcopius, 1572. (Source 1 - Source 2).
Ibn al-Haytham was the major figure in the science of optics and the study of vision between classical civilization and Renaissance. He was born in Basra in 965 and died in Cairo in 1040 and was later known in Europe as Alhazen [1]. His work represents the first major advance in optics after Euclid and Ptolemy of Alexandria and in visual physiology after Galen. We must wait until Kepler and Newton in the 17th and 18th centuries for further fundamental understanding of the nature of light and until at least Helmholtz in the 19th century for further advances in understanding visual perception. For further progress on many of the perceptual and psychological questions considered by Ibn al-Haytham, we still have to wait. Like Leonardo, Ibn al-Haytham was a polymath, contributing to astronomy, mathematics philosophy as well as a variety of other subjects. Unlike Leonardo, who had little or no impact on successive generations of scientists, Ibn al-Haytham's influence was pervasive and usually recognized well into the 18th and 19th centuries. As a practicing neurophysiologist of vision, I will concentrate on summarizing some of Ibn Al-Haytham's major contributions to the physiology and psychology of vision. Before doing so, however, let me briefly describe the principal approaches to light and vision of the ancient world that provides the background for Ibn al-Haytham's work.
Euclid and Ptolemy held an extromission view of vision: vision was due to a stream of rays issuing from the eye and somehow apprehending objects.
Galen had provided a very detailed description of the eye and the optic pathways that was hardly surpassed before Vesalius [2]. Particularly crucial for Ibn al-Haytham's theory of vision, as we shall see, was Galen's view that the crystalline humor (our lens) was the sensitive or photoreceptive portion of the eye, Galen, however, had little interest in optics and accepted an intromission view.
In his great work Kitab al-Manazir or Optics, Ibn al-Haytham carefully examined the extromission theories of his predecessors and systematically demolished each of them.
Against the extromission theory he writes: "The act of vision is not accomplished by means of rays emitted from the visual organ"; rather, "vision is accomplished by rays coming from external objects and entering the visual organ" [3]. Essentially Ibn al-Haytham took a new view of light, combined it with Ptolemaic optics, Galenic anatomy and the results of his own extensive experiments and produced a plausible intromission view that lasted until Kepler.
As he put it, "from each point of every coloured body, illumination by any light, issue light and colour along straight lines that can be drawn from that point" [4]. Following Galen, Ibn al-Haytham believed that the crystalline humor was the sensitive surface whose receipt of light was the first step of the visual processes [5]. But, if from every point of every object, light travelled to the crystalline humor, then those light rays would intermix and total confusion would result [6]. How could a point-to-point correspondence between the visual field and the crystalline humor, essential to Ibn al-Haytham theory of vision, be maintained? Ibn Al-haytham postulated that only light rays orthogonal to the surface of the crystalline humor passed through it. The others were refracted and refracted rays were weaker and not perceived [7]. Thus, a topographically ordered point-to-point representation of the visual world entered the crystalline humor.

Figure 2: Front cover of Brain, Vision, Memory: Tales in the History of Neuroscience by Charles G. Gross (Bradford Book, 1999).
Ibn al-Haytham had used a camera obscura in his extensive optical experiments [8] and compared it to the eye [9]. (He seems to have been the first to do either). Thus, he realized that if the light rays orthogonal to the curved surface of the crystalline lens continued, they would project an inverted image on the back of the eye.
Since the notion of an inverted image was unacceptable, he postulated precisely the appropriate refraction at the interface between the crystalline humor and the vitreous humor so that the rays leaving the latter would be parallel. Thus, they would provide a right-side-up topographic representation of the visual world to the back of the eye (retina) which he viewed as an extension of the optic nerves [10]. Even after Kepler finally elucidated the formation of the retinal image, the problem of how an inverted image could yield vertical perception perplexed him and was not satisfactory handled until Molyneux and Berkeley at the beginning of the 18th century [11].
Beyond the receipt of light by a sensitive surface (the crystalline humor for him), Ibn al-Haytham realized that strictly optical considerations were no longer required. He did stress, and correctly so, that the point-to-point representation had to be maintained and conveyed to the ultimum sensus in the anterior part of the brain [12].
The importance of Ibn al-Haytham's idea of a point-to-point projection of the visual world into the brain cannot be over-emphasized. Indeed, it forms one of the bases of modern visual physiology [13].
Although the importance of Ibn al-Haytham's theory of vision and its pervasive influence for over half a millenium have been well recognized, there has been relatively little close examination of his original views on psychological processes in perception and their influence. Let me indicate some of his ideas in this area that deserve much more study and attention than they have yet received.
Figure 3: Front cover of Al-Hasan Ibn Al-Haytham: His Optical Researches and Discoveries by Mustapha Nadhif (Beirut, 2008, in Arabic; History of Sciences in the Arab World Series, 8, 999 pp.
He was the first to recognize the crucial importance of eye movement for perception. It is only in recent years that it has been recognized that there is indeed no perception without eye movements and that eye movements are crucial to building up our consciousness of the visual world [14].
Ibn al-Haytham realized that the reception of light by the eye is only the very first step in perception. Beyond this passive process, active processes such as comparison and memory are required before conscious visual experience occurs [15].
Particularly startling is his realization that a series of logical inferences must occur before sensation can be transformed by the brain into perception. He stressed that the speed of perception demands that these inferences themselves be imperceptible; that is, unconscious to the observer.
This is a clear adumbration of Helmholtz's theory of unconscious inference that played so major a role in the 19th century and continues to pervade the modern study of vision [16]. It would be valuable to explore to what extent Helmholtz was aware of Ibn al-Haytham's ideas on the role of unconscious inference in perception. Helmholtz does cite Alhazen in other contexts, such as when reviewing previous explanations of the moon illusion [17]. Furthermore, Ibn al-Haytham's use of the time required for a perception has, in the last decade, become one of the principal methods for analyzing the "unconscious inferences" that underlie perception [18].
Among Ibn al-Haytham's other perceptual insights was his understanding of the crucial role of visual contrast. For example, he realized the color of an object depends on the color of the surroundings [19] and that contrast of brightness provided an explanation of the invisibility of stars in the day time [20].
My main conclusion is that this remarkable man deserves much further study. Although Ibn al-Haytham's unique synthesis of physics, mathematics and physiology into a new theory of vision and its historical importance have been recognized, his insights into the psychology of perception and their influence remains an important and potentially fertile area of research.

The famous scientist Ibn al-Haytham ('Alhazen') has rightly been credited with many advances in optics and vision science, but recent spurious claims that he is the 'founder of psychophysics' rest upon unsupported assertions, a conflation of psychophysics with the wider discipline of psychology, and semantic arguments over what it is to 'found' a school of thought. Ibn al-Haytham: An Introduction by: Nader El-BizriNader El-Bizri
This presentation focused on the historical and epistemic bearings of the scientific legacy of the celebrated polymath al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham (known in Latin as Alhazen). A particular emphasis was placed on his remarkable revolution in optics, while situating his research in the broader context of his ingenuous investigations in geometry, his development of the methodological rudiments of scientific experimentation, and his mathematization of the principal notions of classical physics and natural philosophy. This line of inquiry accounted for the channels of transmission, adaptation, and expansion of his research in optics, within the European intellectual milieu, and up till the seventeenth century, while also revealing the multilayered nature of his tradition in underpinning the scientific investigations of Franciscan mediaeval opticians, and of guiding the theoretical debates of Renaissance artists and architects over the best methods of constructing pictorial perspective.

This is the age when most babies are introduced to solid foods. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) currently recommends gradually introducing solid foods when a baby is about 6 months old. Your doctor, however, may recommend starting as early as 4 months depending on your baby's readiness and nutritional needs. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any solid foods.
How can you tell if your baby is ready for solids? Here are a few hints:
If your doctor gives the go-ahead but your baby seems frustrated or uninterested as you're introducing solid foods, try waiting a few days or even weeks before trying again. Since solids are only a supplement at this point, breast milk and formula will still fill your baby's basic nutritional needs.
When your baby is ready and the doctor has given you the OK to try solid foods, pick a time of day when your baby is not tired or cranky. You want your baby to be a little hungry, but not all-out starving; you might want to let your baby breastfeed a while, or provide part of the usual bottle.
Have your baby sit supported in your lap or in an upright infant seat. Infants who sit well, usually around 6 months, can be placed in a high chair with a safety strap.
Most babies' first food is a little iron-fortified infant rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula. The first feeding may be nothing more than a little cereal mixed in a whole lot of liquid. Place the spoon near your baby's lips, and let the baby smell and taste. Don't be surprised if this first spoonful is rejected. Wait a minute and try again. Most food offered to your baby at this age will end up on the baby's chin, bib, or high-chair tray. Again, this is just an introduction.
Do not add cereal to your baby's bottle unless your doctor instructs you to do so, as this can cause babies to become overweight and doesn't help the baby learn how to eat solid foods.
Once your little one gets the hang of eating cereal off a spoon, it may be time to introduce a fruit or vegetable. When introducing new foods, go slow. Introduce one food at a time and wait several days before trying something else new. This will allow you to identify foods that your baby may be allergic to.
Your baby may take a little while to "learn" how to eat solids. During these months you'll still be providing the usual feedings of breast milk or formula, so don't be concerned if your baby refuses certain foods at first or doesn't seem interested. It may just take some time.
Some foods are generally withheld until later. Do not give eggs, cow's milk, citrus fruits and juices, and honey until after a baby's first birthday.
Eggs (especially the whites) may cause an allergic reaction, especially if given too early. Citrus is highly acidic and can cause painful diaper rashes for a baby. Honey may contain certain spores that, while harmless to adults, can cause botulism in babies. Regular cow's milk does not have the nutrition that infants need.
Fish and seafood, peanuts and peanut butter, and tree nuts are also considered allergenic for infants, and shouldn't be given until after the child is 2 or 3 years old, depending on whether the child is at higher risk for developing food allergies. A child is at higher risk for food allergies if one or more close family members have allergies or allergy-related conditions, like food allergies, eczema, or asthma.
Some possible signs of food allergy or allergic reactions include:
For more severe allergic reactions, like hives or breathing difficulty, get medical attention right away. If your child has any type of reaction to a food, don't offer that food until you talk with your doctor.
With the hectic pace of family life, most parents opt for commercially prepared baby foods at first. They come in small, convenient containers, and manufacturers must meet strict safety and nutrition guidelines. Avoid brands with added fillers and sugars.
If you do plan to prepare your own baby foods at home, pureeing them with a food processor or blender, here are some things to keep in mind:
Whether you buy the baby food or make it yourself, remember that texture and consistency are important. At first, babies should have finely pureed single foods. (Just applesauce, for example, not apples and pears mixed together.) After you've successfully tried individual foods, it's OK to offer a pureed mix of two foods. When your child is about 9 months old, coarser, chunkier textures are going to be tolerated as he or she begins transitioning to a diet that includes more table foods.
If you are using commercially prepared baby food in jars, spoon some of the food into a bowl to feed your baby. Do not feed your baby directly from the jar, because bacteria from the baby's mouth can contaminate the remaining food. It's also smart to throw away opened jars of baby food within a day or two.
Juice can be given after 6 months of age, which is also a good age to introduce your baby to a cup. Buy one with large handles and a lid (a "sippy cup"), and teach your baby how to maneuver and drink from it. You might need to try a few different cups to find one that works for your child. Use water at first to avoid messy clean-ups.
Serve only 100% fruit juice, not juice drinks or powdered drink mixes. Do not give juice in a bottle and remember to limit the amount of juice your baby drinks to less than 4 total ounces (120 ml) a day. Too much juice adds extra calories without the nutrition of breast milk or formula. Drinking too much juice can contribute to overweight and can cause diarrhea .
Infants usually like fruits and sweeter vegetables, such as carrots and sweet potatoes, but don't neglect other vegetables. Your goal over the next few months is to introduce a wide variety of foods. If your baby doesn't seem to like a particular food, reintroduce it at later meals. It can take quite a few tries before kids warm up to certain foods.

I'm considering purchasing a NAS device, can I turn my NAS drive into a "Thunderbolt" external hard drive with this adapter?
I understand the speed limitations of ethernet versus Thunderbolt (1GBs vs 10GBs) but my understanding is that the speed that information is acquired/written is based on the speed of the disk itself (i.e. 7200 rpm) or protocol of the drive SATA I/II/II (1.5GBs/3GBs/6GBs).
If I could hook up the NAS drive to Thunderbolt, the performance would be better than my Firewire 800, although marginally, but the price of creating a RAID drive would be fairly inexpensive as diskless NAS is significantly more cost effective than FW800 or Thunderbolt ... (and Thunderbolt only really makes sense with SSD). My real limitation is that I only have USB 2.0 ... or Firewire 800.

This would save the second Thunderbolt port for other hardware connections such as Pro Video edit/control equipment. If such a connection would work with the adapter it would be nice to be able to control it with granularity.

how do i connect to the internet with a thunderbolt ethernet adaptor?
There are lots of more detailed questions about using this adaptor to connect to other computers and to gaming devices. My question is more basic.
My USB ethernet adaptor works fine on my Macbook Air, but I cannot get the thunderbolt adaptor to work. Thanks.- Asked by William M from Saint Petersburg

Can I use the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter to add a 2nd net port to my Mini? I want a dedicated line to a storage server plus independent intranet.
I have a RAID server that provides network storage. The bulk of my big file transfers are to the Mac Mini I'm using as a server. I'd like to keep those transfers from using bandwidth on the rest of my network, and I can live with my other computers accessing the RAID server via the Mini. I'd like the Mini to be able to talk simultaneously on both networks at close to full speed. I've seen other adapters that do this, but they cost hundreds of dollars. Will the Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter meet my goal?

Does the Thunderbolt/Gigabit Ethernet Adapter support auto cable detect?
IE, will the adapter sense whether it is connected to a patch cable or a crossover cable, and adjust transmit/receive line assignments as appropriate?

Can this be used to connect a Thunderbolt only storage device (i.e. Promise Pegasus R6 18TB) to a Gigabite Ethernet Hub?
Our studio is doing a budget report to see if we can go 100% Mac. Currently we have 2 x 4TB storage servers that we'd like to replace with some of those great Promise storage units like the Pegasus R6 18TB. However those are thunderbolt only units, so we were wondering if the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter could be used to connect it to a network hub?

The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) has represented independent oil and natural gas producers for three-quarters of a century. On June 10, 1929, President Herbert Hoover called a national and state conference to discuss and formulate a practical program for the conservation of America's natural petroleum resources. At that historic meeting at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, oil operators, royalty owners, and land owners alike formed a new national association, the IPAA.
Today, IPAA represents the thousands of independent oil and natural gas producers and service companies across the United States. Independent producers develop 90 percent of domestic oil and gas wells, produce 68 percent of domestic oil and produce 82 percent of domestic natural gas. A recent analysis has shown that independent producers are investing 150 percent of their domestic cash flow back into domestic oil and natural gas development—borrowing funds to enhance their already aggressive efforts to find and produce more energy.
IPAA is a national trade association headquartered in Washington, D.C. It serves as an informed voice for the exploration and production segment of the industry, and advocates its members' views before the U.S. Congress, the Administration and federal agencies. IPAA provides economic and statistical information about the domestic exploration and production industry. IPAA also develops investment symposia and other opportunities for its members.

public trust doctrine
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The principle that certain natural and cultural resources are preserved for public use, and that the government owns and must protect and maintain these resources for the public's use. For example, under this doctrine, the government holds title to all submerged land under navigable waters. Thus, any use or sale of such land must be in the public interest.

(February 2012) This story is not only about an aviation experience, but it is also about a man who went out of his way to help a young pilot he didn't even know. It is also a story about meeting some really great people in this country.
It all happened back in 1964 when I was living in Simi Valley, California, where I was a test engineer working on the Saturn S-II project at Rocketdyne's Santa Susana rocket test facility in the Santa Susana Mountains. My wife (now ex) and two children were on the return portion of a cross-country trip in a TriPacer I had borrowed. We were heading home from Wiley Post Airport (KPWA) after attending my sister-in-law's wedding in Oklahoma City.
It was the first cross-country trip I had planned since training for my private, and my only flying at that time had been in a two-seat 85 hp Taylorcraft BC-12D that I flew off of Simi's short dirt strip. I didn't own the Taylorcraft but had full use of it since I had restored it for the owner in exchange for being able to fly it. But the two-seater wouldn't work for a family of four. Fortunately, another friend I worked with on the space program had a four-place Piper TriPacer I could use for the trip in exchange for some work on the airplane when I got back. (Being an A&P has its rewards at times, especially when you like to fly and you don't have an airplane.)
Unlike the trip to KPWA, which went mostly without a hitch, the return trip presented its challenges, to say the least. The weather was still beautiful in Oklahoma City, but there was a possibility of snow showers in Arizona. We pushed on. We had some good winds to help, so my first fuel stop would be Albuquerque, New Mexico. In checking the weather in Albuquerque, it looked good all the way to Winslow, Arizona, but iffy from there to California. By the time we arrived in Winslow, the sky was overcast but still VFR. After fueling the airplane, a check with Winslow Flight Service revealed that the snow was forecast to be light and there was a (remote) possibility that we could make the flight and stay VFR. Needing to get home, I thought we would at least give it a try. It was late in the afternoon when we took off, but with the time change we still had plenty of daylight left. As we headed west the light snow turned heavy and visibility dropped. VFR flight seemed increasingly less probable. At that time I did not have an instrument rating, so I turned the airplane around and headed back to Winslow, where we rented a car and drove the remainder of the trip home.
The next day I called the TriPacer owner and told him I had to leave his airplane in Arizona and I would get the airplane back as soon as the weather allowed. He wasn't too happy about that but said he understood. After I told my tale to a good pilot friend of mine, Larry Barrows, he generously offered to pick the airplane up for me. Larry was an airline captain for Flying Tigers freight lines and could fly free on the airlines to Winslow. So with that good fortune, I gave him the keys to the airplane. The following weekend Larry was set to go. The weather didn't look that good to me, but then again Larry was a good pilot used to flying in all kinds of weather. If he wasn't concerned, why should I be?
Eventually I heard from Larry's wife that Larry was back in Winslow. He told her he had run into some bad weather and landed the airplane in a field somewhere along the highway in Arizona. He had hitched a ride back to Winslow and would be back later that night. When he got back to Simi, Larry told me the field where he landed the airplane was frozen over and made a perfect landing spot. He also suggested that as soon as the weather was good we should jump in the Taylorcraft and go pick up the airplane. So the following Saturday morning we jumped into the Taylorcraft and headed east to someplace in Arizona to see if we could find the TriPacer. Now, this was in the days of no GPS, and you flew by dead reckoning or a VOR navigator (if you had one). Fortunately Larry knew approximately how far the airplane was from Winslow. So with a road map we followed the highway, and it didn't take long until we spotted the airplane. What we didn't know was that the ground was no longer frozen over and was very soft from the melting snow. Fortunately, the Taylorcraft was reasonably lightweight, and being a tailwheel airplane, it wasn't a serious problem to land it on the soft turf. After landing, we inspected the TriPacer, and it seemed no worse for wear from sitting out in the Arizona weather.
In the soft mud the TriPacer used every bit of the field, but made it off just fine. Our plan was to stop in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, for fuel and then fly direct to Simi Valley. We agreed we would talk to each other along the way on the multicom frequency and if either had a problem we would be able to help each other if possible. What we hadn't discussed was the difference in airspeed, with the TriPacer flying at 125 mph and the Taylorcraft at 85. By the time we were over the desert somewhere near Bagdad, Arizona, I had lost sight of the TriPacer and lost radio contact with Larry.

Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 13020647 (posted Nov. 20, 2013)"
On June 27, 2013 the Senate, in a 68-32 vote, successfully passed S. 744, the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act." (AILA Doc. No. 13041760.) Now all eyes have turned to the House of Representatives, specifically Republican leadership: Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX), and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA). (AILA Doc. No. 13072545.)
The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Goodlatte, have passed four piecemeal bills (all of which AILA opposes): H.R. 1773, the Agricultural Guestworker Act, H.R. 2278, the Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement (SAFE) Act, H.R. 1772, the Legal Workforce Act (mandatory E-Verify), and H.R. 2131, the Supplying Knowledge Based Immigrants and Lifting Levels of STEM Visas (SKILLS) Act. (AILA Doc. Nos. 13042953, 13060654, 13071149 and 13071145.) Earlier, in May, the House Homeland Security Committee passed a bipartisan bill on border security, H.R. 1417, the Border Security Results Act of 2013. (AILA Doc. No. 13060647.) The once promising "Group of Seven" in the House has officially fallen apart, with three of the four Republicans leaving the fragile coalition and no legislative language ever introduced by the group. Other bills have since been introduced in the House, but have yet to receive hearings or votes in committee. This includes H.R. 15, a comprehensive immigration reform bill introduced by Democratic leadership that encompasses the successful Senate bill, but replaces the controversial "border-surge" amendment with the House bipartisan border security bill. (AILA Doc. No. 13100402.)
Looking forward, House Republican leadership seems to be reluctant to bring up any immigration bill before the end of 2013. The Senate bill will live until the end of 2014, so the House of Representatives will have a full year to pass their own legislation and then reach some compromise with the Senate to pass identical bills that can make it to the President's desk.
