Student pilot who hit SUV earns ticket
On final approach to landing at Northwest Regional Airport in Texas, Will Davis felt a thud, but he didn't think he had hit anything substantial. "The plane did not try to veer off course until the wheels hit the ground," he recalled. "Once I landed, the plane was out of control. It skidded for a while down the runway and eventually off the side of the runway in a grassy area." After he got out of the Cessna 172 he learned he had collided with an SUV driving on a road near the runway. Neither saw the other coming. The incident threatened to end Davis's dream to become a pilot—this was his first solo cross-country. Davis talks to AOPA about the November 2012 accident, the lessons learned, and his private pilot checkride this month. Read more >>

Beechcraft emerges from bankruptcy, minus Hawker
Nine months after seeking bankruptcy court protection from a mountain of debt, Beechcraft Corp. opened a new chapter in its history with a Feb. 19 announcement that the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process is complete. Parts and service will remain available for Hawker business jets, but production has ceased—possibly for good, though there remains a slight chance that those jets could return to the market from another company's assembly line. Meanwhile, the slimmed-down Beechcraft Corp., which shed the "Hawker" name, is focused on King Air, Baron, and Bonanza lines, the T-6 military trainer and light attack aircraft, along with testing the waters for a clean-sheet, single-engine turboprop.

Patent battle stifles aviation innovation, enrages aviator
South Carolina pilot Austin Meyer, author of the popular X-Plane flight simulator, has a new application that provides backup flight instrumentation in the real world, and constantly calculates engine-out best glide to the nearest airfield. You will not find Xavion on devices running Google's Android software any time soon, however, thanks to a lawsuit filed by a company based in Luxembourg. Uniloc, on its website, claims to have pioneered software used to authenticate electronic transactions. Meyer's legal team disputes the patent's validity. Read more >>
Ownership spat empties, closes air museum
When a dispute between the National Park Service and a Vancouver, Wash., aviation museum located on park property boiled over, the museum operators walked—taking 15 vintage airplanes and other displays including a 3,350-pound R-4360 radial engine with them. Caught off guard by the maneuver, the park service is "now assessing next steps" in its clash with the Pearson Air Museum at Vancouver's Pearson Field that seems to turn on regulations about the use of museum property for outside events.

Wings of Freedom tour may skip Boeing Field
The Collings Foundation says it will decide by the end of February whether to dispatch its historic B-17 and B-24 bombers to Boeing Field in Seattle, Wash., during its 2013 Wings of Freedom Tour, after an insurance dispute with local officials shot down plans to offer airplane rides to the public last year.

Group works to preserve hangar with a history
A Connecticut aviation museum is raising funds to restore one of the original hangars Glenn Curtiss built on the grounds of a racetrack turned general aviation airport, a stone's throw from the birthplace of modern helicopters and the Corsair fighter. The roof is shot through with holes, the brickwork is crumbling at the edges, the few windows still left must be replaced, but the work, they insist, is cosmetic: The bones are sound, and all they need is a little help to beat the clock.

NAA celebrates memorable aviation records of 2012
Records set in 2012 for aircraft speed, freefall distance, human-powered helicopter flight, and gliding distance are being singled out by the National Aeronautic Association as "most memorable." Will Whiteside's 381 mph flight over Interstate 505 in California and a transcontinental Gulfstream G150 flight set new records in aircraft categories, while Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall through the stratosphere officially set the new mark for freefall distance.

Hover Power: Rotor RPM
Main rotor RPM creates the airflow over the blades that produce lift for a helicopter. A rotor blade is a rotating airfoil that experiences a much higher airflow over the blade tips than the inboard areas. In order to improve the distribution of lift across the blades, engineers twist the blade so that the inboard part has a higher angle of attack for a given pitch angle. Read more >>

Safety & Proficiency
IFR Fix: No shaded area
It's the climactic moment of every instrument approach under actual instrument conditions: When will you find the runway—or components likely to lead to it very quickly—and switch over to visual references for landing? Read more >>
Ask ATC: Am I cleared through?
VFR flight following adds a cushion of safety by providing advisory services of radar targets that could pose a conflict along your route. It's invaluable when trying to navigate through the various types of airspace you'll encounter on any long flight. But you should know about some gotchas. For example, how does flight following work with flights penetrating restricted areas? Are you automatically cleared through Class B airspace when receiving flight following? Listen as Bob Knill from the Air Safety Institute asks these questions of air traffic controllers in the latest Ask ATC: Flight following and airspace video, and learn how to deal with special airspace considerations.
Go beyond probable cause with Accident Case Studies
By examining GA accidents in detail, we can learn from the mistakes of others and make better decisions as a result. The Air Safety Institute's Accident Case Study videos, based on NTSB accident investigations, use actual ATC audio and Microsoft Flight Simulator footage to re-create the scenarios and analyze what went wrong—why things went from good to bad. Learn how to avoid similar fates: Check out the Accident Case Study library, which has moved to a new location on the Air Safety Institute's website so you can easily find all in one place.
Sleepy pilot, unsafe flight
It's been a long day. Add to that the dehydration and hypoxia that may start to take hold at altitude, and a normally sharp pilot loses some of his edge. Fatigue can degrade vision and coordination, dull memory and concentration, and alter mood and judgment. While it's not often the "smoking gun" in an accident investigation, fatigue often ends up as a causal factor in aircraft accidents. Find helpful articles in AOPA's online resource on fighting fatigue, and learn some steps you can take to keep it from catching up with you in the cockpit.
A powerful combination
GPS can be a powerful tool for IFR operations, but only if you know how to garner the benefits of it before you depart. Review the Air Safety Institute's GPS for IFR Operations online course.
Leading Edge: Miracle of crossing the pond
It's been less than 100 years since Charles Lindbergh first crossed the Atlantic solo in 1927. The fact that we now do it routinely hundreds of times a month is nothing less than stunning, writes AOPA Foundation President Bruce Landsberg. Read more >>
TSA chief urged to break security plan impasse
Restrictive security rules in effect at Colorado's Grand Junction Regional Airport have choked off access to general aviation facilities, killing off businesses and driving other tenants from the premises, said AOPA and elected officials in letters urging the head of the Transportation Security Administration to intercede in stalled local efforts to fix the problem.

General aviation defended against 'loophole' charge
Senate Finance Committee member Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) voiced exasperation with the Obama administration for "seemingly endless attacks" on the aviation industry in public statements and proposals to reduce the federal deficit. The GA Caucus member said Feb. 13 during a hearing that he gets "a little bit hot under the collar" when he hears administration officials direct attacks at the largely Kansas-based industry that has already lost 50 percent of its workforce during difficult economic times.

Was aviation designated a 'loser' under tax reform?
New comments by Obama administration officials indicate that the White House has picked the aviation industry as a "loser" under deficit reduction efforts despite widespread layoffs and cutbacks already facing workers in the sector, said Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.). During a press briefing Feb. 20, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney cast deficit-reduction proposals targeting general aviation as preferable to other budget cuts during efforts to reduce the federal deficit.

Minneapolis Class B redesign plan still poses concerns
The FAA's proposed redesign of Class B airspace in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn., continues to leave some unresolved concerns for general aviation, including a lowered airspace floor in several sectors that would constrain use of the Stanton, Minn., airport, and flights transitioning through the area, AOPA said. Members are urged to review the proposal and submit comments by a deadline of April 15. Read more >>
Rome by air
Flying over the Vatican, Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Appian Way at 3,000 feet offers a view of Rome few—including pilots—can experience. Andrea D'Orazio, a flight instructor at Urbe Airport just outside of Rome, had arranged prior approval to shoot the ILS 15 into Ciampino Airfield on the southern side of the city and fly directly over the historic structures that are surrounded by restricted airspace. While the views are worth it, flying (or learning to fly) in Italy is not easy or cheap. Read more >>

I am not to sure where he time goes but my husband turns 50 today!
not that long ago he was turning 30!
Mind you I don't feel like he's 50 &
he most certainly doesn't look 50.
Here is the card I made him -
he is an AVID coffee drinker -
seeing him have water is rare,
but a coffee cup in his hand seams natural.
Happy Birthday Scottie!

I finished the process of making these this morning and am uncertain as to whether I like it or not. Its simply rockmelon, sugar, lemon juice and a cinnamon stick.This was a large 2K melon before I cut it up and I didnt get much from it. As suggested it would probably be nice on good quality ice cream.The original recipe I comes from breadmakingblog.breadexperience if you want to give it a try yourself.
There are lots of really good photos of bread making at this site and I like the idea of making toppings for the bread. I dont have a proper canning kit but for something this small I simply boil the jars and keep it in the refrigerator.
I decided the next day to try it with philly cheese on toast..

I got Baylie as a rescue my last semester of college. My family was so mad I took on the responsibility of dog but now no one knows what they would do without her. She just turned 7 and still acts like a puppy. She loves her brother who I brought back from California. They love spending the summer at the cabin and playing.
The Cutest Puppy
I was born on January 1, 2008 and lucky enough to have a loving family adopt me. I had a black lab brother, Jack, until he passed away--at age 14. He was very cool and protected me through my puppy years; I'm a big boy now at 3! I love all kinds of food, walks, riding in the car, playing with my little sister Sitka (who is a feline but I have forgiven her for that), playing with the grandkids, playing in the yard, running with my buds that live in the house behind me (we race the fenceline everyday to keep in shape and you guessed it, to play), I love to play tug-of-war, I love to help ...
I love to run in play and visit the beach. The Atlantic Ocean is my swimming pool. I live in Central Florida.

My exams are finally over! I disappeared for a little while when the only thing that was going on in my life was revision and mindless procrastination-geared scrolling through Tumblr but thankfully I've made it through those few weeks and can get back to doing things I love, like reading and blogging!
I thought I'd come back with a review of Wool by Hugh Howey, given to me as part of a swap with the lovely Toni. This has been getting a lot of attention recently so I was excited to get stuck into it.
The first hundred or so pages had me hooked, it was full of twists and turns and I loved the feeling of under the surface menace. I also loved Juliette, the protagonist. She didn't have the dreaded 'feisty' syndrome. She was just a smart, kind, tough, slightly world weary young woman who gets thrown into something beyond what she should have to handle and I really enjoyed that.
Where this book let me down was in the writing. God it dragged at times. This pretty hefty tome could have easily been 200 pages shorter but everything was narrated in such precise detail. A character we cared about would be in a dangerous situation where short snippy sentences were needed to ramp up a sense of urgency, Howey for some reason felt the need to describe to us just HOW stuck someone's foot was or the exact details of the action of jamming a spanner into a piece of machinery. We spend paragraphs reading about someone just changing clothes or having introspective reflections at really inconvenient moments. The plot also feels rushed at times, with certain things happening just to push the story along. It's just not as well crafted as I would have liked.
It's worth pointing out that Wool was originally published in segments which might account for this (That's why a lot of Victorian fiction drags) but you'd have thought they could have edited it a little bit to make it suit a single volume format. The writing and slightly messy plot just smacks of 'not-quite-finished' and although I finished the book, I found myself skimming bits toward the end of it just to finish and find out what happens.
I did enjoy it overall and as I said large chunks of it were great and I really enjoyed the moral complexity of the situation the characters were in but I just wish a bit more time had been taken on refining the plot and making the writing flow better. It just feels quite a lot like someone rushed it through editing and processing to get it on the shelves while dystopian fiction was popular and I hate to sound cynical but that's just the feeling I get.
If you enjoy dystopian I would still recommend it, even if just for how much I enjoyed the first third or so, you may have more patience with the writing than I did.
Let me know if you've read Wool and what you thought of it, I'd love to hear other's views on this one!

Shooting a dog attacking you or your livestock? OK, but think twice.State law allows a person to kill a dog in self defense, though, or in defense of another person, or if the dog is in the act of attacking livestock, including poultry, Miller said. Poultry's right to "free range" is generally protected everywhere but cemeteries and airports, Miller said, something that may dismay the owner of a $500 dog shot in the act of killing a $3 chicken who learns the law is on the side of the chicken owner.
Farmers who used to follow the "shoot, shovel, shut up" practice of taking care of offending dogs, though, would be better to let the law handle livestock issues, Miller said. The county maintains a fund to reimburse farmers for livestock killed by dogs, but only for their market value as meat. If an animal control officer is able to identify the owner of dogs that killed livestock, they may be liable for the actual value of breeding or show stock, he said.
This was in response to a recent attack of a Pomeranian by a pit bull. The Pomeranian was killed and the owner was left pondering the notion of being armed and using a gun to kill a dog in the future. Pomeranians are a popular breed of dog, known for how small they are coming in at 5-7 pounds. They are also one half of the recently popular designer breed of dog called a Pomsky. The Pomsky appearance is a mix between a Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian depending upon the genetic dominance that arises out of its parents.
Perhaps, the most fascinating thing I learned out of the article was the "free range rights" of chickens. I had no idea.

The Aten Sequence Books are set in Ancient Egypt and although many of the characters are purely fictional, I have 'borrowed' some real historical characters and woven them into my stories.
One of these characters is Prince Dhutmose; Crown Prince and eldest son of Pharaoh Amenophis III. In the books he is a young prince undergoing his military training in the Kap, a training school for the young boys of royal and noble blood. At the beginning of the story line he is just a young prince having a good time hunting, racing his chariot, wrestling and having fun with his friends before Aten shows up and embroils him in his schemes to steal the gold from the vaults of the temple of Karnak. In the second book, 'Hall of the Golden Crocodiles', we also meet Dhutmose's beloved pet, the cat Ta-miu who, being a royal cat, can talk, do magic and is much more than she seems. So what can history tell us about the real Prince Dhutmose?
|Sarcophagus of Prince Thutmose's cat Ta-miu
Although we do not know a great deal about the historical Prince Dhutmose, isn't it amazing that we do know that just over 3,000 years ago a young prince loved his cat?
For all our knowledge of ancient civilisations, we rarely catch even the faintest whispers of the personal, intimate lives that these people once led. Even for royalty, beyond the formal inscriptions that rulers used to trumpet their achievements or show their reverence to their gods, we usually know very little about the real characters beneath the glittering regalia and formality of court life.
But just occasionally we do get a small glimpse into these past lives and loves, and one of these rare glimpses comes from a young boy's love for his cat. Prince Dhutmose was so fond of his cat that he had a fine limestone sarcophagus carved for her, had her body mummified and then carefully buried. The limestone sarcophagus is now on display in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and shows the cat sitting before an offering table heaped with goodies for the afterlife. It seems that her owner wanted her to enjoy her time after death as much as she had appreciated being a cosseted royal pet in life. We know from the inscriptions that she was called Ta-miu, which literally meant 'she-cat' and that her owner was Crown Prince Dhutmose, or Thutmose, the eldest son of the mighty Pharaoh Amenophis III and his great royal wife, Queen Tiye.
Living in the 21st century, where Prince William and Prince Harry have practically every moment of their lives captured on film and the details of their day-to-day lives endlessly scrutinised and pored over, it may seem strange to us that back in Ancient Egypt it was actually very rare for there to be any mention of royal children or even their queens, on a Pharaoh's monuments. What we do know about the Egyptian royal families over the thousands of years of Egyptian history tends to have been pieced together from titles and inscriptions found in tombs or on statues or funerary equipment. Even today there is much speculation about some of the relationships in the Egyptian royal family and how they fitted together. However, this started to change towards the end of the 18th dynasty and Amenophis III had his wife Queen Tiye shown alongside him on statues and had the names and titles of his children carved onto some of his monuments. However, it was still usually only the royal princesses who were mentioned and during the ensuing Amarna period the famous heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten and his beautiful wife Queen Nefertiti were often shown with their six daughters.
So the fact that we know that Prince Dhutmose even existed is a miracle, as he did not outlive his father and become Pharaoh. Although we do not know many details of his life, he seems to have been born between years 16-19 of his father's reign and have died young sometime between years 25-30. His titles were listed on Ta-miu's sarcophagus as 'Crown Prince, Overseer of the Priests of Upper and Lower Egypt, High Priest of Ptah in Memphis and Sm-Priest (of Ptah)', so he could well have spent much of his short life in Egypt's ancient capital Memphis. As he was young, we also do not know whether these titles were purely honorary or whether he did undertake priestly duties in the temple of Ptah. However, there is evidence that he officiated at the burial of one of the first Apis bulls at Saqqara, the large royal necropolis over on the west bank of the Nile from Memphis. He may also have had connections to the military as an ivory whip found in the tomb of the boy king Tutankhamun is inscribed with the titles 'The King's son, the troop commander, Thutmose, repeating of births', although again we cannot really be sure that the whip's owner was our Dhutmose and not another royal prince with the same name.
How Prince Dhutmose died or his exact age at death is unknown, but his demise paved the way for the emergence of his younger brother Prince Amenophis onto the political scene. It is interesting to speculate what would have happened if the young prince had lived and had succeeded to his father's throne. Would he have led Egypt away from the worship of Amen and the traditional gods as his brother was to do, or did he share Akhenaten's beliefs in the pre-eminence of the Aten? Prince Dhutmose's tomb has never been discovered, but there is a mummy that was discovered in the KV35 cache in the tomb of Amenophis II that has been identified by some as his remains, although others think that it may be Prince Webensenu, a son of Amenophis II, as some of his canopic jars were also found in the tomb. The mummy is of a young boy of around 11 years of age, who still wears the sidelock of youth, and his identification as Prince Dhutmose comes from the proximity of the remains to another mummy known as the 'elder lady' who has been identified through DNA analysis as being Queen Tiye, his mother.

First it was the Game of Thrones Monopoly edition and now there is a Game of Thrones Risk edition. While Monopoly is fun and all, it's the latter that will truly let people's inner Lannister come out. After all, it's one of the ultimate strategy board games out there. Not to mention that it focuses on world domination, which is not unlike the plot of the beloved fantasy series.
Partnering up with Hasbro, HBO's Game of Thrones Risk edition will be released later this summer. With a simple objective, to conquer the Seven Kingdoms and the Iron Throne, players will have access to 650 pieces including two custom game boards, seven sculpted armies and seven player boards. People will be able to play three different ways.

It's pilot season… the casting announcement are flying in like crazy! We can only hope that most of these are still around by the time the fall season begins.
Delroy Lindo has signed up to co-star in NBC's drama pilot Believe.
The drama revolves around a gifted young girl with powers that'll full mature in seven years, and the man who is sprung from prison to protect her from those trying to hunt her down.
Delroy Lindo will play a man named Winter, who's described as a kind man, posing as a priest with an honorable agenda, but isn't what he seems.
Alfonso Cuaron and Mark Friedman will pen the pilot script and executive produce alongside Bad Robot's J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk. Another J.J. Abrams project. The man is everywhere!
We last saw Mr Lindo on the small screen in the now-defunct Chicago Code.

Levi was invited to a bday party at the Disney campgrounds, so we spent the day there enjoying the area, and then having a great time at the party! It was our first time there and we decided we would like to camp out sometime. Even on a fun day out we managed to find some learning along the way.
Boat ride
This guy posed for a picture!
Levi LOVED playing dodge-ball. A sport that combines my least favorite things to do - running around in hot sun while balls are being thrown at me. I just watched. Levi played the entire time they had a game going and had the "best time ever" according to him.
We stayed for the camp fire, they had a sing-a-long, with marshmallow roasting (we brought our own allergy friendly/vegan ones). They do a movie after but we left before it started.
Sing-a-long face I guess?
And Levi met his friend Dale.
And here is where we found some rocks! At the Wilderness Lodge, they have a display of a bunch of real rocks in a case:
And these rocks match up with rocks that are in layers of the Grand Canyon, which we had just been talking about.
Even more fun was the giant fire place they have in the lobby next to this display. It represents the layers of rock, just like a giant model of the Grand Canyon page Levi colored. It was so big I couldn't get it all in the picture
So even at Disney, you can learn about rocks.

- It is hard to get back into the habit of blogging after a long break or else the fact that now that there are seven people vying for attention is having a large impact on my memory and attention-span.
Usually, I think, "This would make a great blog post. I should take a picture. Darn. Where's the camera? Oh, you used it for a Lego movie and filled a 5 GB card with blurry pictures of Legos that look all the same and you left the camera in your room and can't find it? And look at that mopund of laundry and did the baby just spit up on my shoulder and leak out of the other end? Ack! Get me a rag. Now let's do a reading lesson. Oh wait, you need me to check your math and give you a spelling test -- and what do you mean you wet the bed?" And then two hours later when I remember that I thought of something interesting to say, all that is left is the memory of the passing thought and I can't even remember what that brilliant insight into the human condition (or picture of my cute child) I wanted to post.
Did someone mention cute kids? Here's my beautiful (she'd probably kill me for calling her cute now) ten year old daughter with her newly pierced ears.
There we go -- cute kiddos.
- Those pictures were taken on our trip last week to Fall Creek Falls State Park.
A rare picture with me in it!
My husband read Simcha Fisher's post some weeks ago on camping and felt we simply must head out on our own adventure. I talked him into renting a cabin. I haven't tent camped since we were in Glacier National Park in 2001 and we only had one small child back then (and I was a young 20-something). I like mattresses and bathrooms even more now, especially with a three month old along.
- Today is the last day of our first quarter of school. Maybe I'll get around to talking about what I'm using for Kindergarten soon. Or maybe even discussing what works and what doesn't, and how some days I manage to cook dinner, bake muffins and educate the kids and other days I call my husband at 10 a.m. and threaten to have the kids enrolled in public school before lunch time.
- Did I mention my kids are cute? The two year old is also a destructive, wall-writing, wall-climbing menace, who loves music and picks up tunes faster than any other kid I've known. Here he is singing the Kyrie:
- And here he is singing Ave Verum Corpus:
I hear all the true geniuses have destructive tendencies.He's certainly destructive enough.

I'm upset about the things that are going on in the country, in the world. I'm sad and I'm terrified by some politicians' and some Americans' reactions and comments — and no, I don't want to debate any aspect of what is going on …
I just want to look at puppy videos for a while. And listen to holiday music with Shirley in the office. And read stories about rescued kittens that cohabitate peacefully with bunnies. And look at photos of penguins in sweaters knitted by a 109 year old man in Australia.
I'm just going to turn away for a second, turn off the news, and ponder the things that are good: My daughters who are about to burst out into the world with their fierceness; Julio, my rock and best friend. My co-workers and the community at the gym who have all become family to me. These are good. This is what I hold onto when I'm anxious about the news and violent events around us. Thank you for being part of that.

An extended ballast leg has been a problem to global oil transportation since more than a century ago. Automobile transportation, although relatively new, has been restricted the same way by the very nature of the trade. Many attempts to commercialize multi-cargo mono-hull designs have failed for the last 30 years. The most prominent among these was the Oil/Bulk/Ore (OBO) design concept promulgated in the late 70s. This ill-fated concept was never able to establish itself in the market place and was hampered by severe structural problems and shifting global trade patterns.
The proposed new, patented, multi-hull ComboTanker design intends to change this paradigm and revolutionize the way these commodities and other cargoes are transported by sea during the next century. This new vessel concept will redefine the extend of intermodalism that is currently available. It will highlight the distinct competitive advantages it offers by substantially improving economic flexibility of shipowners. This added flexibility comes as a result of allowing more mixing high value cargoes (oil, containers, automobiles) and making more lucrative backhauls. It will also safeguard shipowners from fluctuating freight rates and unpredicted changes in cargo availability.
The ComboTanker concept has a very wide application range from small 5,000dwt cargo combination carriers to VLCC. Aftermarket applications also look good ranging from offshore supply vessels to navy logistics or replenishment ships. The applications worked on ytd: tanker - cargo combination carrier 5,500, 20,000 dwt, aframax size tanker - containership 80,000 tons of crude oil and 2,000 TEUs on the way back, tanker - car carrier 80,000 tons of crude oil and 5,000 midsize cars on the way back. All of these applications have a simple modular structure easy to design and built. ABS safe hull and safety rules compliant.
This new intermodal carrier will present new transportation strategy introducing new and exciting opportunity to significantly reduce operational costs and increase effectiveness of global transportation and port utilization. Positive economic evaluation received. Can pay back almost twice as fast as conventional design. The market demand is substantial and continues to grow for multi-functional tanker / containership / car carriers.Most common mistake do not compare this design to specialized ships.It is a new, more lucrative combination and better structural design that works.Looking for partners, investors, shipowners interested in new and more effective ways of global and intermediate transportation.

Arnel Salvatierra, a 17-year-old Glendale High School senior, fought back tears when describing his relationship with his father during an interview Thursday--just hours before he and his girlfriend were arrested as the primary suspects in the slaying of the father Wednesday.
A slim, good-looking, dark-haired young man, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, he agreed to talk briefly about his father, Oscar Salvatierra, outside the family's Glendale home even though he said he was busy helping to arrange a funeral.
Salvatierra said he last saw his father Monday, after stopping by the Los Angeles office where Oscar Salvatierra worked as bureau manager for the Philippine News and as a certified public accountant.
Left for School Early
"I didn't see him Tuesday," the son said, speaking softly and looking down occasionally. "He usually came home late, past midnight, because of the income tax season." He did not see his father Wednesday, when he was allegedly shot in the head, he said. "I would get up early and leave for school."

Ha! I had no idea. Nice article David.ReplyDelete
I love your blog, David. This is my favorite post so far. Incredibly interesting! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Great post, David! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Still I cannot believe Malory to have been merely a common thief and rapist, there must have been a poetic streak in him, or adventurous, at least :-) How are you, BTW? And how is your dad? I hope all is well with you.ReplyDelete
Hi Kasia! Thanks for the kind remarks, as ever. I suspect Malory was a typical late medieval mix of adventurer and nasty thug. And as the son of a gentleman he would have received a fairly good education before turning to crime.
All is good here, and with the Dad :) How about you? All well in Poland?
To Malory's credit, he used the time spent in prison as best as he could. Sincerely, how many medieval thieves and rapists gave a thought to rewriting stories while in jail? You certainly have a point about the education he must have received.
All in perfect order here, in Poland! Thank you :-) Today we are celebrating the 70th anniversaryy of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising against the Nazi occupation, so rather solemn mood here.
Say "Hello!" to the Dad for me and warmest wishes :-)

Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 11:30am to Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 1:00pm Webinar/Teleconference
This program is an introduction into the ICD-10-CM code set and begins with sequencing guidelines. We'll then have plenty of practice accessing the index in finding the codes, noting tabular list instructions, and then on to coding hospice scenarios with attention to improvement in documentation needed to choose the most specific codes to describe the terminal illness and related diagnoses. Conventions, such as 'with' may mean more diagnoses are "related." Attendees will leave with the ability to improve plan of care documentation and query physicians for more descriptive information. This series will provide in-class coding of cases in each chapter of ICD-10-CM – the presenter will assign scenarios for participants to complete between sessions, going over the answers in class. Coders will leave with confidence and enthusiasm for ICD-10 implementation. Attendees must have an ICD-10 coding manual (2017 or 2018) to fully participate in practice scenario activities.
Program Objectives:
- Describe how the terminal diagnosis and related diagnoses should be identified.
- Identify methods to improve compliance with coding guidelines and describe the patient's complex medical needs related to the terminal diagnosis.
- Review the ICD-10 guidelines and conventions, including the 'with' convention. Identify query methods that will secure more descriptive information from physicians and improve clinical documentation.
- Apply coding guidelines to hospice scenarios coded in ICD-10.
Faculty: Lisa Selman-Holman, JD, BSN, RN, HCS-D, COS-C, HCS-O, HCS-H is a home care veteran with 31 years spent in home health and hospice, both as an RN and as an attorney practicing exclusively in home care.

Okay, Aigents now can be accessible as Facebook or Telegram bot, including capability to retrieve reports on personal activity on social networks with ability to configure contents of the reports manually.
First of all, you can connect to your personal Aigent living at https://aigents.com/ (and still accessible by means of Web user interface) in two alternative ways.
Use Facebook Aigents bot at https://www.messenger.com/t/aigents
or Telegram Aigents bot at https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@AigentsBot
Either way, you can use conversational communication flow to register, login and get your news and personal analytics in chat interface (see examples of chat-style communications at http://aigents.com/test/aigents_turing_test.html).
Let's see how you can get your analytical reports, after you are have registered at https://aigents.com/ with either Facebook, Google+ or VKontakte.
- Make sure you are register at https://aigents.com/ with email and any of the three social networks.
- Make sure you know you registration name and/or email. If registered with social network without email, the name will be taken from social network. If registered with Facebook or VKontakte, your email can be created as email@example.com or email@example.com (for example - firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com). On https://aigents.com/ site, you can get your email, name and surname by means of "Settings" menu item.
- Go to either https://www.messenger.com/t/aigents or https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@AigentsBot
- Login to chat bot with you email and/or name and surname. To do so, you will have to answer your own secret question. If you have registered via social networks and not email, you will be prompted to create secret question and secret answer right now and confirm it before proceeding.
- Request report for one of social networks Facebook, Google+ or VKontakte saying "my facebook report", "my google report" or "my vkontakte report". Most likely, links to reports in HTML format will be returned immediately (because Aigents calculate reports for you on daily basis). In rare cases, you will get response like "Your report is being prepared, please check back in few minutes..." - that means no recent report is available and you need to retry it couple minutes later one or more times.
- While the previous step lets you get "standard" report, you may order fresh custom report, with special options requested and extra options omitted. To have fresh custom report generated, you need to add word fresh to your request, followed with list of any of the following options (for example: "my facebook report fresh fans", "my facebook report fresh fans, authorities", "my vkontakte report fresh authorities, fans, my karma by periods"). The list of available options follows:
my interests
interests of my friends
similar to me
best friends
like and comment_me
liked by me
my karma by periods
my words by periods
my favorite words
my posts liked and commented
my best words
my words liked and commented
words liked by me
my posts for the period
- The report file in HTML format that you download is available for you only.
In meantime, we are working to make reports even more configurable, provide even more options (for instance, different sorts of "karma"), make it possible to configure time periods and intervals for analysis and enable to download report data in JSON format. All these options will be available non-free commercial accounts - contact for more information right now!
For example, see the following conversation flow, which can be used to get your personal analytics on social networks. This conversation assumes you are registered at https://aigents.com/ with either Facebook, Google+ or VKontakte (referred as "facebook", "google" or "vkontakte" in conversation below).

Green Style. Just finished Organic Style over the weekend. It continues to get the thumbs up for not doing all the dumb things that Real Simple does, and for being interesting.
This issue includes a small article on green materials, Eco Building Blocks, which has some good tips on bamboo flooring, natural paint, an energy saving dishwasher, and other household materials. (via OrganicStyle) MGR

Medium-bodied, this opens with a fragrance of crushed wild flowers, woodland berries, pine forest and a whiff of leather. The savory palate delivers dark cherry, raspberry, mocha and sweet baking spices alongside brawny but round tannins. Drink soon.

Just how good can life get?
Then dare to imagine the answer.
Do it again. And again. And again!
Because if you can't do this exercise, you can't do Magick. If you can't imagine how you want your life to be, you cannot tell the Universe what you want. If you don't know what you want, there is nothing to manifest. Simple as that.

THE club ventured to North Wales last Sunday, where Moel Famau at 1,818 feet was the target summit for all five parties.
Two groups left the coach at Afon Wen on the A541, and two more further along at Bodfari. The resulting walks took these groups on 12 to 14 mile routes along part of the famous Offa's Dyke footpath, crossing the hill forts on Penycloddiau, Moel Arthur, Moel Dywyll and Moel Famau.
Over 3,000 feet of ascent was logged up along the way, with nearly a similar amount of descent to the day's destination of Loggerheads.
The fifth party did a circular nine mile trek to the summit of Moel Famau, descending to the pretty village of Cilcain, to follow the Leete Path back to Loggerheads.
The weather was probably the best so far this year, with warm winter sunshine, virtually no wind and visibility offering superb views all around.
l S.F.W.C. runs a coach every second Sunday throughout the year to either the Lake District, Wales, Yorkshire Dales or Derbyshire. Besides led walks, if you are competent in map reading and mountaincraft, you may plan your own routes. Four weekends away are also organised each year, along with various evening social events.
We welcome new members, and you can come out with us twice without paying membership fees, to see if fell walking is for you. Reasonable initial fitness is required and the ability to go uphill is of course essential.
Membership costs just £10 a year and coach fares are currently £9 per trip regardless of distance. For details please contact Ian Eckersley on 01704-578681.
Next outing is to Orton, in Cumbria on February 18.

About a week ago I went to get a drink of water around 4:50am. Got a drink, went back to bed and didn't even shut my eyes before I heard the keys in our key rack jingle.
* What was that? *
My eyes shot wide open and Amber woke up too. Instinctively, I grabbed the wooden bat that I've kept at bedside since college and slowly headed into the darkness of the other room. I thought I could see movement in the bathroom, but I wasn't 100% sure what was going on. It was nearly 5am and I wasn't wearing my glasses.
"HEY." pause. "WHO's THERE?" (that's me yelling, which I never do.)
I moved my way to the light, flipped the switch and stared towards the bathroom with my bat extended towards whatever or whoever would be there.
There was someone in my fucking bathroom.
He reacted very slowly to my yelling and the light being turned on. He also reeked of booze. I opened the door and started with the yelling again. I was certainly more freaked out and scared than he was. I as also standing in the center of my living room in me underwear threatening someone with a wooden bat. I must have looked like a Neanderthal.
Slowly, he started making his way towards the door. I turned to see Amber rushing out of the bedroom with our aluminum bat. In front of her was our eldest dog Matty, who wasn't about to attack our intruder, but greet him like a friendly dog greets everyone who comes into his territory. Amber grabbed Matty as I nudged whoever came into my apartment in the early morning drunk with my bat and slammed the door behind him and bolted the lock shut.
A few minutes later, the police arrived and asked a few people in the building what happened. When it came us, we were told the "no shit Sherlock" dangers of accidentally leaving our door unbolted. We went inside and went back to sleep with everything bolted shut.
6:00am. The doorknob is turning, but the bolt is preventing the door from opening. Really? Again? Again. This time, the police arrived before he left and escorted him out of the building. The stats on this guy: 15 years old, drunk and doesn't realize that he lives two doors down instead of in our building.
The weird part about this is what when we lived in Bed Stuy, horrible things happened all around us but nothing happened directly to us or anything we owned. We've been in Park Slope for two years and in that time our car was broke into, my bike was stolen and now this.
I'm not sure if the moral of the story is lock your doors, don't drink when you're 15, hide your kids, hide your wife or if you come into the Blatt apartment uninvited and drunk, you'll meet Blatts with Bats.
