With hurricane season upon us, you may be worried about your roof but don't know exactly what tell-tale signs will alert you to problems. You also may be intimidated by the cost of a new roof. To help ease your anxiety, Westfall Roofing has some advice.
What should I look for to know if my roof needs replacing or repairing?
Shingled homes in the Tampa Bay area typically last between 15 and 20 years. Tile roofs typically last 15 to 30 years and metal lasts over 20, depending on the installation. However, some roofs reach the end of their useful life as early as 10 years after installation, which can happen with shoddy workmanship or defective materials. Several things affect your roof's life, including shingle or underlayment type, workmanship, the architecture of the home, trees and shrubbery around the roof – even the direction your home faces can make a difference!
According to Westfall Roofing, some tell-tale signs your roof needs attention are exposed shingle nails, exposed fiberglass mat, granule loss, or if the shingles have lost their adhesive bond with one another. Non-shingle related signs include compromised plumbing boots, rusted roof penetrations, compromised low-sloped roof-to-wall transition areas and compromised roof vents.
What should I look for in a roofing contractor?
Westfall Roofing is one of roughly 1,300 roofing contractors in the Tampa Bay area. No matter who you choose, make sure the contractor has a valid Florida contractor's license. A state- certified roofing contractor, by law, must have their license number visible on their signage. Roofing licenses always begin with "CCC," followed by a series of numbers. The contractor needs to be familiar with local codes and processes. Next, check the contractor's general liability and worker's comprehensive insurance limits and coverages. Roofing contractor general liability insurance varies depending on the volume and special designations they may have with the manufacturer.
Also check the Better Business Bureau http://westflorida.bbb.org as well other online referrals services, such as Angie's List. It doesn't hurt to ask if the contractor has any special designations with the major shingle manufacturers. GAF, for example, has a small percentage of Master Elite contractors that have been vetted and approved as top, preferred contractors in the country. GAF Master Elite contractors must have their roofs inspected not only by local building departments, but by GAF (the manufacturer) as well. You can search for GAF Master Elite contractors at GAF.com. Westfall Roofing meets all these criteria.
Finally, Westfall roofing – and every reputable roofer –will offer a written estimate, product literature, and allow you time to compare the prices, materials and warranty.
What extra steps can I take to ensure my roof will better withstand a potential hurricane/storm?
Assess your roof's condition once a year, checking for loose shingles, exposed nails, holes or soft spots, and fix anything you find immediately. Get tree debris off the roof while you're inspecting, but never pressure wash a shingle roof. If you're replacing your roof, call your homeowners insurance company to find out what discounts you'll receive for the replacement; you can often get additional discounts by installing hurricane straps, a secondary moisture barrier, and 130 MPH wind-rated shingles.
Once your roof reaches the end of its useful life, you call a licensed, reputable contractor like Westfall Roofing to replace it, as such roofs may not withstand a major storm.
Only certified home inspectors or licensed building contractors (not roofing contractors alone) can perform a wind mitigation inspection, so be sure to ask if one is included with a roof replacement. Otherwise, these inspections can be performed typically for a fee between $75 to $125.
It is always better to replace your roof sooner than later due to additional unforeseen wood costs that can occur during a roof replacement. Typically, roofs 15 years and younger do not have any plywood damage, but once roofs reach the 20-year mark, they can have a significant amount of wood damage. Westfall Roofing hopes you choose them to replace or repair your roof, but whomever you choose, they encourage you to ask about any additional costs or possible costs. While no roofer can predict what they'll find once they start a repair, a reputable roofer –such as Westfall Roofing –will gladly tell you what to expect in terms of pricing.

The pilot reported that the engine started running roughly about 8 to 10 minutes into an agricultural application flight. He tried various magneto switch positions to troubleshoot the problem; however, the engine continued to lose power, so the pilot executed a forced landing in trees on flat terrain. Postaccident engine examinations revealed that the engine's propeller was locked in place due to a failure in the engine power section.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

MADRE News
Building Strategic Partnerships for Governance and Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean
Posted on: Monday, January 25, 2010
Keywords: Bolivia, Latin America & Caribbean, Indigenous Rights, Economic Justice
A report from MADRE sister organization, the International Indigenous Women's Forum (IIWF/FIMI) on the recent Indigenous Women Parlamentarians Conference coordinated with support from MADRE in La Paz, Bolivia on January 19-20, 2010.
The International Indigenous Women's Forum, partnered with the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Confederation of Indigenous Women (Bartolina Sisa), the Indigenous Parliament of America and the Fund for the Development of Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean to facilitate the first ever Conference of Indigenous Women Parliamentarians: Building Strategic Partnerships for Governance and Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean ("Warmis KAY Suyunchiqta Awanchiq"). The conference took place on January 19th and 20th in La Paz, Bolivia.
The event was timed to coincide with the inauguration of Bolivian President Evo Morales, held on the 21st and 22nd of January in Tiwanaku and La Paz, Bolivia.
In recent years, Indigenous women have strengthened their organizations in order to claim and defend the rights of Indigenous Peoples - and especially Indigenous women - in areas historically denied. Women now place a special emphasis on defending their right to participation in formal political activities (elections) and informal activities (social movements).
The emergence of this political movement, conceived of by the Indigenous women's organizations, is the fruit of a long social struggle that resulted in the presence of more than two hundred Indigenous women in the formal structures of states (ministries, parliaments, municipalities, councils, etc.).
An invitation to an International Conference of Indigenous Parliamentarians in Latin America and the Caribbean meets the need of creating a space for exchange, reflection and articulation between Indigenous women ministers and parliamentary leaders in recent years. It allows participants to analyze strategies and identify new alternatives and goals in each nation.
The conference is primarily aimed at a) Empowering Indigenous parliamentarians in the norms and standards of existing and relevant international human rights in order to combine their efforts more effectively in the Indigenous Parliament of the Americas; b) Discussing the creation of a network Indigenous women parliamentarians in order to provide a space for exchanging information on operational bills using human rights standards as a benchmark.
Bolivia is the host of the Conference of Indigenous Parliamentarians, giving official status to the event and reaffirming its commitment to the rights of Indigenous peoples, native and peasant.
The conference was made possible by support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), Regional Center of the Latin America Program for the United Nations Development Programme (AECID).

|Simultaneous partitioning and modeling : a framework for learning from complex data
|Deodhar, Meghana
|While a single learned model is adequate for simple prediction problems , it may not be sufficient to represent heterogeneous populations that difficult classification or regression problems often involve . In such scenarios , practitioners often adopt a "divide and conquer" strategy that segments the data into relatively homogeneous groups and then builds a model for each group . This two -step procedure usually results in simpler , more interpretable and actionable models without any loss in accuracy . We consider prediction problems on bi -modal or dyadic data with covariates , e .g . , predicting customer behavior across products , where the independent variables can be naturally partitioned along the modes . A pivoting operation can now result in the target variable showing up as entries in a "customer by product" data matrix . We present a model -based co -clustering framework that interleaves partitioning (clustering ) along each mode and construction of prediction models to iteratively improve both cluster assignment and fit of the models . This Simultaneous CO -clustering And Learning (SCOAL ) framework generalizes co -clustering and collaborative filtering to model -based co -clustering , and is shown to be better than independently clustering the data first and then building models . Our framework applies to a wide range of bi -modal and multi -modal data , and can be easily specialized to address classification and regression problems in domains like recommender systems , fraud detection and marketing . Further , we note that in several datasets not all the data is useful for the learning problem and ignoring outliers and non -informative values may lead to better models . We explore extensions of SCOAL to automatically identify and discard irrelevant data points and features while modeling , in order to improve prediction accuracy . Next , we leverage the multiple models provided by the SCOAL technique to address two prediction problems on dyadic data , (i ) ranking predictions based on their reliability , and (ii ) active learning . We also extend SCOAL to predictive modeling of multi -modal data , where one of the modes is implicitly ordered , e .g . , time series data . Finally , we illustrate our implementation of a parallel version of SCOAL based on the Google Map -Reduce framework and developed on the open source Hadoop platform . We demonstrate the effectiveness of specific instances of the SCOAL framework on prediction problems through experimentation on real and synthetic data .

RENO, NV - Reno police are looking for the man who robbed and attacked an 83-year-old woman in a Walmart parking lot Thursday.
About 8:30AM, the woman was walking to her car at the Kietzke location. A man ran toward her and grabbed her purse, which was strapped to her wrist. She was knocked to the ground and broke her jaw. In the purse were cash and credit cards.
The man was picked up in a maroon 4-door sedan, similar to a Honda, immediately after the robbery. The camera captured the car speeding off, heading south on McCarran from the Walmart parking lot.
Police say the robber is light-skinned with a thin build. He was wearing a cream colored puffy jacket with a hood lined with gray fur, and dark pants. No description is available for the driver.
Anyone having information relating to this crime or the suspect(s) should contact the Reno Police Department at 334-2115, Secret Witness at 322-4900, www.secretwitness.com, or you can text the tip to 847411 (TIP 411) keyword - SW.

Bicycles are an argument for localism. My building process reflects these ideals as best as possible: I don't own a car and drive little, riding frames out the painter's in Watsonville. Most all of the materials I use are sourced within the US, and some in the Bay Area. My framesets are built by hand, one at a time, slowly.
Bicycles offer a way to move around in the world without sacrificing the beauty and safety of our neighborhoods or the quality of our air. Currently, here is enough food in most parts of the world to power everybody's bicycle into the foreseeable future without causing a crisis.
I design and build beautiful functional bicycles that best fit the end use (transportation) while maintaining a commitment to elegant design and artistry. All frames are brazed steel with or without lugs.
Each frame is an individual, for each rider, and each rider has a different set of needs.
The configurations that I have been building roughly fall into a few archetypes (you can find images in the Archetypes gallery):
The light tour-ready road is quick and compact, with a riding position that you can handle on centuries and longer tours, and has brazons for fenders, and a rear rack.
The Randonneur design is a little longer and heftier with generous clearances and all the brazons it takes to carry you and your camping gear well lit through the coastal mountains and valleys of California.
Fixed-gears and track bikes. Stiff, quick, stable handling and elegant simplicity.
The Bici Corta fixed-gear is my remake of the Rigi design. He seat tube is split to allow the wheel to tuck under the rider and short the wheelbase. The front end is tight, but no toe overlap. It doesn't ride like a Rigi.
The Diffusible fixed-gear employs the Ritchey beak-away couples for easy travel. It is available in track or street geometry.
I have always loved mixtes, and offer a Frances mixte with elegant curves, upright posture, and quick, smooth riding.
The Small Haul is a high performance road touring cycletruck. It's quick and surprisingly light. The front basket is rated to carry up to 80lbs (good size Labrador), and you can throw your touring gear on the back rack or in the numerous other places offered by the bike's unique shape. This design features the Frances Cable Steering System.
The Cycletruck is a low-riding long john for hauling heavy and awkward loads up to 200lbs. You can move around fast with tools, kids, and groceries, all at the same time!

Note-taking is a critical skill for investigators, students and others who need to preserve the essential points from a conversation. The Pulse pen from Livescribe was a tool that made that task easier, but the device had some flaws. Livescribe's new Echo™ "smartpen" has fixed those problems and improved on the original.
What is a Smartpen? Livescribe's technology — licensed from a company called Anoto — isn't especially well known. It starts with special paper that has a pattern of tiny dots printed in the background — they're so small and faint that most people can see them only with a magnifying glass. Smartpens like the Echo have a camera in the tip that reads those dots and tells it where it is on the paper — page and position. As you write, each stroke is plotted and recorded according to those dots. At the same time, the pen is making an audio recording of whatever is going on, and associating that part of the recording with the pen strokes made at that moment.
When the note-taking session is done, you can touch the tip of the pen to any part of your notes, and the audio made at that second will play back. Didn't quite get that comment written down? Listen to it as many times as you like. Plugging the pen into a computer with the Livescribe software copies each session to the computer. If you bring up a session, you'll see your page with all the notes in green. Click on any portion, and the audio from that moment plays back, and the green pen strokes fill in with black as the note-taking progressed. The computer files are transferable to anyone with the Livescribe software, which is free for download.
Sessions remain stored on the pen until you delete them. Once they're deleted, touching the pen tip to your notes won't play back any audio, but you've presumably uploaded those sessions to your computer by then. Deleting sessions frees up memory for more sessions. How much memory each session takes up depends on the user-selectable quality setting, but one gigabit (GB) of memory equals roughly one hour of audio and notes. The older model Pulse smartpens have 2GB of memory. The newer Echo smartpens come in 4GB and 8GB models.
High Marks for Customer ServiceMy first 1GB Pulse smartpen had battery problems — a look at the Livescribe user forums indicates I wasn't the only one with that experience. The pen wouldn't hold more than about 20 minutes worth of charge. Even though I was 18 months past purchase (and six months past warranty), Livescribe swapped out my pen for a 2GB model, shipping paid both ways, free. The new one works perfectly.
Hearing "special paper" causes most cops to think, "There's where they get you," but the paper isn't all that costly. A spiral-bound starter notebook of 100 sheets (200 pages) of 8.5 x 11 paper comes with the pen. Each additional notebook is about $7.00 from Amazon.com, or you can get a pack of four for $20.00. You can buy other notebook sizes and formats, and even print your own compatible paper in any format you like with a color inkjet printer capable of 600 dpi resolution. When you order extra supplies, get a pack of ink refills (five for $6.00), as each one lasts about 50 pages for me. Smartpens and supplies are also sold through Staples, Target, and Best Buy stores.
When I've showed the pen to curious people (and you will find it attracts a lot of attention), several remarked, "Now, if you had something that converted handwriting into text, that would be something." Something is here. A $29.95 add-on package called MyScript converts Livescribe sessions into PDF documents with editable, searchable text. You can try a fully-functional version for free for 30 days. On my blog, I have links to a page of notes taken during a workshop, with the MyScript-converted text below.

Morning Buzz – June 30, 2010
A daily digest of what's going on in Fredericksburg, and what news from elsewhere is relevant here. Send suggestions to email@example.com.
Today is the last day of the 2010 fiscal year. So maybe it's fitting to look at an issue that will have a big effect on state and local budgets in the years to come. Virginia Statehouse News has a story today about one way state legislators got around making even tougher budget decisions this year–postponing their obligations to fund the state's pension fund. It's worth a read to understand what the state and local governments will be up against at some point in the future.
A Hampton City Councilman is trying to start discussions to build a slavery museum at Fort Monroe, the Daily Press reports. Officials in Hampton and in Richmond have argued before that they have sites that would be more fitting than Fredericksburg's Celebrate Virginia for a slavery museum. The question is–do they even need to lure away Fredericksburg's proposal? As we reported late last year, there aren't many signs that the effort to build a museum in Fredericksburg is still alive.
Fireworks - I forgot to mention yesterday that while most of the Heritage Festival stuff is taking place on Saturday, the fireworks will happen on July 4 (Sunday). They'll be shot from Brooks Park across the river at 9:15 p.m. Pratt Park has been suggested as the best viewing spot, and the city is reminding people that Old Mill Park will close at 8 p.m. and won't be available for fireworks viewing. Look for more in tomorrow's weekender.

Media Release: Capture of 30 Addo Elephant National Park buffalo going well
Date: 2013-05-16
A total of 30 disease-free buffalo will be offered for sale at the auction on Friday, 28 June 2013, according to Addo Elephant National Park manger Norman Johnson.
"We have captured some magnificent animals. One bull has an estimated horn spread of 44.5 inches," he says.
It will be the largest number of Addo buffalo yet offered for auction by South African National Parks at the Kirkwood sale.
Funds raised through the sale of the animals will go towards park development and conservation-related expenses.
"We are delighted to continue to offer these sought-after Addo buffalo on our auction," says Johan Swart, convener of the auction, which is one of the top in South Africa.
It is one of a handful where buyers can view game in bomas before they bid.
"This year we will again have a wide selection of prime animals from the top reserves in the Eastern Cape," he says.
The auction, which starts at 12 on the Friday, attracts buyers from all over Southern Africa.
"We are already receiving enquiries about the buffalo, which are in demand because of their breeding and the fact that they are free of corridor disease, foot and mouth and tuberculosis," he says.
Addo Elephant National Park buffalo have fetched over R500 000 at a Kirkwood auction.

In spite of global economic troubles, Volkswagen Group today laid out plans to invest up to $65 billion worldwide over the next three years.
"Despite the challenging economic environment, we are investing more than ever before to reach our long-term goals," said VW Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn in a statement following a meeting of its board of supervisors.
While more than half the figure will be invested in its home base of Germany, VW also cited planned spending in other parts of the globe, including North America, specifically citing in a news release a new vehicle production facility for Audi in Mexico.
In Chattanooga, VW already has said it would plow about $7 million into its assembly plant this year to bolster production by about 20,000 units, pushing capacity to some 170,000 vehicles annually.
Also, Winterkorn said earlier that Chattanooga would present itself as an option for producing a sport utility vehicle and a decision could be made next year.
Such an SUV likely would be positioned between VW's existing Tiguan and Touareg models, officials have said.
Mike Pare, the deputy Business editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, has worked at the paper for 27 years. In addition to editing, Mike also writes Business stories and covers Volkswagen, economic development and manufacturing in Chattanooga and the surrounding area. In the past he also has covered higher education.

The Hollywood Reporter posted an article on the NFL lockout with a very misleading headline. I think someone needs to write to them and demand a correction.
Nets Line Up Shows Ahead of Possible NFL Strike

Will this also be televised? We as fans also need an option on draft weekend.
Zo Says:
March 28th, 2011 at 9:03 pm
Are all rookies and family invited? Also, will there be additional info about the event?
curtis Says:
March 28th, 2011 at 9:58 pm
It's unfortunate that the players have decided to do this. The public opinion has been decidedly towards the owners,wrongly I might add, and decisions like this just help cement fans views which will hurt the players in the long run. The players need to start taking the high road and make the owners look petty,the vetting of the TV contracts was good. Pressuring incoming rookies to miss the moment and instead be part of an asterisk is wrong.
Also the NFL fanatic is going to watch the NFL draft live and when there favorite team is picking in the top 10 and they don't get the live give and take with said pick, they will resent the players for this not the owners.
Now the activities planned sound very entertaining and could enhance the NFL draft weekend and drafts to come if it is a permanent celebration. However the players association should encourage potential draft pick to sit in Radio Hall and then hit the celebration. Much better PR for the union.
idk just my opinion

UNL wheat program, tour set for June 11
A winter wheat meeting and plot tour is scheduled for 7 a.m. June 11. Breakfast will be served at the Ella Missing Community Center, 411 Sixth St., Arapahoe, Neb. The Furnas County wheat variety plot is located on land farmed by Ron and Rex McClain, Beaver City, Neb.
Before touring the plot, information on the following topics will be presented:
"Surviving the 2012 Drought: 80 years of Innovation," Bob Klein; and
Wheat Production, including: variety selection, plant growth stages, disease management and other best wheat production practices.
The tour will include new winter wheat varieties, experimental varieties and many of the varieties being grown by producers along with varieties being used to measure progress in winter wheat variety development.
Certified Crop Advisors can receive continuing education credits.
To get to the plot go 3.5 miles west of Beaver City or 12 miles south and a half mile west of Arapahoe. Plot signs will be located on the north side of the highway.
This is a no-till plot that was planted in forage sorghum residue that was chem-fallowed and features side by side comparisons of 27 varieties. This is an opportunity to learn more about wheat variety performance and management in a no-till situation.
Resource persons include:
Bob Klein, UNL, Western Nebraska crops specialist, North Platte;
Stephen Wegulo, UNL Extension plant pathologist, Lincoln;
Rich Russel, field representative, Arrow Seed; and
Noel Mues, UNL Extension educator, WCREC, Furnas County.
The tour is sponsored by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, Arrow Seed Co., Cargill, and West Central Inc., Chris Reeves, Beaver City. University of Nebraska variety performance trials are supported in part by grower check-off funds through a grant from the Nebraska Wheat Board. For more information, contact the Extension office in Furnas County at 308-268-3105 or email@example.com.

Ninety percent of female military spouses in a recent online survey described themselves as underemployed, indicating they have more education or experience than needed for their current jobs, according to a new study released this week.
The analysis, from Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families and the Military Officers Association of America, included more than 2,000 female respondents with active-duty spouses.
Data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey also show that military spouses earn an average of 38 percent less personal income and are 30 percent more likely to be unemployed than their civilian counterparts, the study said.
Retired Vice Adm. Norbert Ryan, president of MOAA, said in a statement this week that the study's results demonstrate a need for concerted efforts to improve the employment issues currently faced by military spouses.
A recent proposal from the Office of Personnel Management would relax the rules for military spouses to obtain career status, allowing them to become permanent federal employees with three years of service in the government instead of three continuous years.
Federal law also requires the Defense Department to give preference to military spouses for civilian jobs. But those individuals fall below disabled veterans, employees in the Equal Employment Opportunity program and workers returning from overseas in the federal hiring hierarchy.

Retargeting, which encourages previous website visitors to return to your site, plays a vital role in converting visitors into customers. Over one quarter of visitors will return to a website thanks to retargeting. Display retargeted visitors are three times more likely to click on an ad and, after returning to the website, they are 70 per cent more likely to convert.
Today, retargeting is regarded as one of the most powerful tools of digital marketers. Retargeting is a form of online advertising which encourages previous website visitors to return to your site. Digital marketers turn to retargeting because it delivers results, but as pointed out by Catherine Tucker, an MIT Sloan School of Management professor, "Ads are too often shown to those who have already decided whether to buy or not buy the product, or who have bought it already.
Opening remarks at the Cornell Hospitality Research Summit articulated the key challenge for service based organizations today – their ability to integrate the customer directly in to the design and delivery of their product. Compounding this challenge is the growth of big data and trying to keep the customer as part of the marketing and delivery of hospitality services within the context of data driven solutions.
Re-designing a website is not what it used to be. Gone are the days of wholesale site redesigns that focus on delivering an updated image with a modern look and feel. Today a website can serve various objectives from driving online conversions to brand building and customer retention. Your primary objective as the website owner is to provide a high quality experience on your website and this should provide the framework underlying all of your other objectives.
You have been running your research study on your website for a while. Your results are in. Your customers have spoken. But what do the results mean? You can measure your performance over time, however without context on how other sites are performing, you are in the dark; are your results good or bad? Only benchmarking will tell you where you fit in a range of scores, and this knowledge is essential when making strategic decisions that will impact the performance of your website.
At iPerceptions we serve over 700 million survey invitations a year and manage digital research for over 3,500 enterprises. So we understand how critical the digital experience is to a brand's success. When a visitor decides to leave a comment on your website or participate in a research study they are engaging with your brand. They are taking the time to provide you with vital feedback and they expect a high quality experience as if they were interacting with any other section of your website. That's why we challenged ourselves to create the most respondent friendly survey and comment card experience that is consistent across desktop, mobile and tablet.
We are all too familiar with the phrase "don't re-invent the wheel", yet many research firms and agencies re-invent the wheel each time they design a custom Voice of the Customer (VoC) research project for their clients. Many agencies try to create their VoC project from scratch when actually taking a framework approach would get the project off the ground quicker and would derive trusted results and concrete insights.
The traditional, linear understanding of the customer journey is being turned on its head in our multi-channel and interconnected digital world. As the century-old "shotgun" approach of traditional mass advertising is being replaced with a concern for meaningful, targeted brand experiences, marketers must anticipate their customers' needs in order to make an impact.
Chat solutions are increasingly becoming a must for websites, especially e-commerce sites, to offer the best possible customer experience. According to Forrester, the rates of chat usage as a customer service engagement channel have grown from 30% in 2009 to 43% in 2012. More and more it is being used to reach visitors before they abandon their online purchase and to increase online conversion.
Nowadays, there are numerous ways in which you can gather feedback from your website visitors, all with their own advantages. If you have a survey running on your website, you likely already appreciate the immense value you can get from engaging with your visitors and gathering their feedback. These surveys can prove to be very valuable in gathering a strategic perspective on your website as they collect a representative sample of your visitors.


text: On June 14, 1998, at 1330 hours Pacific daylight time, a Beech 76, N912KA, experienced a loss of engine power in the right engine after initiating a go-around and impacted terrain near the South County Airport, San Martin, California. The aircraft, operated by Trade Winds Aviation under the provisions of .14 CFR Part 91, sustained substantial damage. The commercial flight instructor and private pilot received minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions existed for the local dual instruction flight and no flight plan was filed.The private pilot reported after departing Hollister airport, they climbed to 3,000 feet agl for the return to the Reid-Hillview airport, San Jose, California. As he was tuning in Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS), the right engine failed. The private pilot reported that his instructor had shut off the fuel to simulate an engine failure. His reaction was to advance the mixture and propellers and add additional power. The pilot stated that South County was the nearest airport and he made a turn to the left to land on runway 32. The pilot reported that he attempted to troubleshoot the failed engine, and then informed his instructor that he was going to "feather the failed engine," and then set up for the final approach.The private pilot stated that he radioed his intentions on Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF), and noted that the flap indicator was not working, but verified flaps down. On short final the pilot noted that the gear lights were not illuminated. He informed his instructor, who responded by telling him to go around. The pilot stated that he applied full power and the plane immediately yawed to the right. He added cross controls, raised the flaps, and pitched up. He stated that the aircraft was too slow to maintain directional control, so he lowered the nose. The private pilot stated that they were less than 50 feet agl and continuing the turn to the right when the aircraft started to roll to the right. He stated that the impact was in a nose-low, right wing low attitude.The instructor pilot reported that after departing Reid-Hillview for the practice area, he initiated a right alternator failure by pulling the right alternator field circuit breaker. He stated that the student reviewed the checklist and then the Pilot Operator's Handbook (POH). The student initiated procedures to correct the problem; however, the alternator would not come back on line. The instructor stated that historically the "right alternator has had trouble sharing the load." The instructor reported that he had the student leave the right alternator switch off and then switched off the left alternator to see if the right one would "pick up the load," which it did. The student pilot then switched the left alternator back to the on position. No other anomalies were noted with this portion of the flight.The instructor reported that that they executed an emergency descent and then simulated an engine fire, with the student performing satisfactorily. His only recommendation was that the student should maintain 95 knots until established on final approach and then maintain 85 knots until landing was assured, which he confirmed with the POH. The instructor reported that they taxied back for takeoff to Reid-Hillview. On takeoff the instructor stated that he cut the left engine, with the student recovering satisfactorily. He then instructed the student to takeoff, and failed his right engine. The student recovered satisfactorily and remained aligned with the runway centerline.While en route to Reid-Hillview the instructor informed the student that there was traffic off his left wing. The instructor reported that when the student went to verify the traffic, he turned the right fuel selector to the off position. He then instructed the student to obtain ATIS information for Reid-Hillview. While the student was copying ATIS, the right engine failed. The instructor reported that after the student had identified that the right engine was inoperative and completed the emergency checklist for troubleshooting the inoperative engine, he questioned what the student would do next. The student attempted to feather the right propeller. The instructor stated that he stopped him from feathering the engine and verified the right fuel selector had been returned to the on position and brought back the manifold pressure just under 10 inches to simulate feathering the engine.The instructor reported that the student then diverted to South County airport for the simulated precautionary landing. The instructor then had the student report his intentions over CTAF. He stated that "knowing we would probably do a go-around," he pulled the circuit breaker for the gear indicating lights while the student was maneuvering the aircraft for landing. He stated that he did this to point out to the student how high his last two approaches were and voice his concerns of rushing the airplane down to the nearest airport when it was not necessary.The instructor reported that the student lowered the gear and flaps, but that the flap indicator still did not show the flap position. The student visually verified that the flaps were down. The instructor reported that the student announced his position when another aircraft asked for a position report. He stated that the student retarded the throttles and was on short final before he noted the gear lights were not illuminated and the gear was not down.The instructor stated that he told the student to go around and that he had "both engines." He stated that the student advanced the throttles full forward, and that something did not feel right. The student then retracted the flaps, and moved the propellers forward. The instructor stated that the aircraft yawed to the right when the propeller surged, which he attributed to the unequal spooling up of the propellers.The instructor reported that the initial climbout was not normal, but it was not evident to him that the right engine had failed. He noted that the flaps were still full down and recycled the flap handle. The instructor reported that they were still yawing to the right and he input left rudder and left aileron, but the student had the controls already fully deflected. He noted that the airspeed was under 65 knots. At this point, he realized that the right engine had failed. He pulled the throttle and tried to return to the runway. The instructor reported that after clearing a row of trees they lowered the nose and tried to maneuver between two lampposts. The aircraft was still descending in a right bank towards a field. After impact, they both shut down the aircraft and exited the aircraft.A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airworthiness inspector from the San Jose Flight Standards District Office examined the aircraft at the South County airport. No mechanical malfunctions were noted with the right engine. The FAA inspector stated that it was also unclear as to whether or not the right engine had been restarted after the in-flight shutdown.

Last Friday Papa Bear, MSgt A. and two other Marines took advantage of the long holiday weekend and headed up to Gettysburg, PA to do some site seeing.
"The Cabin at the Artillery Ridge Campground where we stayed. Good enough for what we needed."
"The "New" Gettysburg Visitor Center was built in 2008. Very clean and well presented."
"Almost 200 bullet holes in the South Wall of the Farnsworth House. We ate dinner there on Saturday night. The Game Pot Pie brought silence to our table, which I think all the surrounding tables appreciated…"
General Lee?? This gentlemen was sitting outside Lees Headquarters. Yes, he is real and not a ghost.
Looking north from Little Round Top
Looking at Little Round Top from Devil's Den.
Union cannon looking down on Devil's Den.
20th Maine's position looking down on Little Round Top. (panoramic photo)
20th Maine monument looking towards Left Limit of Line.
"Little Round Top was interesting. It is actually an oval hill and not round. The 20th Maine under Chamberlain was actually covering the most southern end of it and occupied their area with a line of troops maybe 75 yards long. Not a large area at all. On the panoramic photo you can see the right limit, the monument at the center angle, and the left limit of their line. There was no one to their left.
We all agreed that no assault would be made on a hill like this today without artillery and air support. I cannot imagine having to charge up there in a wool uniform."
"The NC Monument sits where they started their march/charge across the mile of field towards the Union Line during Picketts Charge. I got the impression that the State of NC had purchased the land because there were four marble markers at each corner of the one acre square around the monument. It just looked like it anyway. "
"At the High Water Mark (HWM), looking back across the field towards where the Confederates started their attack, it really sank in as to how dauntling a task they had ahead of them. It was quite heart wrenching to stand there and think about it."
"The 26th NC Regt almost reached the wall just North of "The Angle". You have to wonder what thoughts they had as they stared down the barrel of the cannons firing at them…."
26th NC Regiment High Water Mark narrative.
"Inside the Gettysburg Visitor Center, there was a wall of both Yankee and rebel casualties. I took one of the Confederate casualties. They lost (killed, wounded and missing) over 28,000 over the three days. The Union lost over 25,000."
Sounds to me like the boys had a good time. I was told that they took in a ghost tour while in Gettysburg and each evening was spent around a campfire drinking beer
naked bonding.
Thanks for sharing PB.

Although the KTM 990 SM-T looks the same black and white bike I'd left at BSD Performance for a dyno run and fuelling check, the bike I got back now runs like a completely different machine.

A witness reported hearing an airplane's engine sputter before hearing the crash. The airplane appeared to have clipped trees on its descent to the field, impacted the ground nose first, and bounced once to its final resting place. A postcrash examination found small particle contaminants in the airplane's fuel system. The interior of the tank was found to be deteriorating and flaking apart. The amateur-built airplane was issued an experimental airworthiness certificate on April 12, 2008. The fuselage was primarily Aeronca with the wings and landing gear system designed by the owner/pilot. The airplane had accumulated a total of 47.21 hours since the time it was built. Its last inspection, a conditional, took place on November 28, 2008 and the airplane flew seven hours between that inspection and the time of the accident. Six weeks prior to the accident the pilot had reported that the airplane's engine had cut out. The pilot told his friend he found some debris in the fuel tank and that he would "keep an eye on it." The cross bar, to which the pilot's shoulder harness was secured, separated from the airframe at impact.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
