In September this year we visited Antalya, Turkey for the "Comenius" school project. It was an amazing adventure for us, leaving unforgettable moments. Turkey is a country with a rich history and culture. Going there, charged us with positive emotions. We visited many interesting places related to the history and culture of the city and met with the life of the people. The project involved students from other European countries and we found many common interests with them and became friends . We will never forget the moments spent with them, especially the evenings when we gathered and discussed various topics. The hosts made us feel like we were home. They organized fun games, walks and trips. We were especially impressed by the traditional Turkish dance the hosts introduced . It was like we were in a whole new world. The time passed quickly. We said goodbye with friendly feelings and we hope we will see these amazing people again.

No NFL Network? Super Bowl I viewing options
Richard Ryman
Fans without NFL Network as part of their home TV lineup have other options to watch the broadcast Friday of "Super Bowl I: The Lost Game."
A number of restaurants and bars in the Green Bay area, and likely across the state, carry NFL Network and plan to show the three-hour program which begins at 7 p.m. Friday.
NFL Network will show every play of the Jan. 15, 1967 championship game after laboriously reconstructing film from more than two dozen sources. The game was broadcast live by NBC and CBS, the only Super Bowl to be broadcast live in the United States by two networks, but no full video version survived. Pieces were out there, and the NFL said it found all 145 plays.
Super Bowl I to be shown again for 1st time
Jess Miller said his establishments, which include The Bar locations in Green Bay and Suamico, Graystone Ale House in Ledgeview and Hagemeister Park in downtown Green Bay, will be tuned in.
"We've had some calls at Graystone," Miller said. "We've told everybody to plan to show it."
Those who said they have NFL Network include Stadium View Bar & Grille, Fox Harbor Pub & Grill, Burkel's One Block Over, among many others, no doubt. And there's always 1919 Kitchen & Tap at Lambeau Field, if you want to be totally immersed in the Packers vibe.
The game wasn't called the Super Bowl then, at least not officially. It was known as AFL-NFL World Championship Game, but fans preferred Super Bowl and the NFL eventually adopted it. This year, Super Bowl 50 will be in Santa Clara, Calif.
The Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10 in Super Bowl I and affirmed the presumed superiority of the NFL over the AFL, which were competing leagues. At least, until the New York Jets and Joe Namath defeated the Baltimore Colts and Johnny Unitas in Super Bowl III.
"It was a fun game," said Don Mleziva of Minneapolis, a Green Bay native who attended Super Bowl I with a friend. "We had tickets on the 35-yard line. That stadium wasn't full, as I'm sure you know."
Max McGee's seven-reception, two-touchdown performance was a highlight, but Mleziva said it was the Packers' defense that stood out.
"They were lights out. They started a little bit slow, but once they got going ... ," he said.
Mleziva, like others, is hoping NFL Network will release the game on DVD or through some other venue.
"I'm glad I held onto my ticket stubs. It would be great to put them with a DVD," he said.
An NFL Network representative said Wednesday he didn't know that it would be released on DVD, "but wouldn't rule it out."
Friday's program will include pregame, halftime and postgame segments, modern broadcast graphics and coverage, social media interaction, facts and information. Audio from the NBC Sports radio broadcast featuring announcers Jim Simpson and George Ratterman was layered on top of the footage to complete the broadcast.
Coincidentally, Simpson, who was 88, died Wednesday in Scottsdale, Ariz.

030 The Quest for the South Pole
Conquering the South Pole was probably the last great feat of the age of exploration. It is located in one of the most remote and inhospitable locations on earth. The nearest sea is 1,300 km away and it sits on top of a 2,700 m thick icy plateau. But Antarctica was also one of the last places to be discovered and investigated and the main events could be outlined as: 1820 Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen on the Vostok and Mikhail Lazarev on the Mirny are the first to report about Antarctica. 1821 John Davis and his crew are the first humans to set foot on Antarctica, but for a very short time. 1839-42 Charles Wilkes commands the U.S.Exploring Expedition that surveys large stretches of the coast of Antarctica. 1839-43 James Clark Ross commands an expedition that aims at determining the position of the magnetic South Pole, but from his circumnavigation and attempts to force the sea ice, it is determined that the continent is inaccessible by ship. 1901-04 During the Discovery Expedition, Robert Falcon Scott, Ernest Shackleton and Edward Wilson reach 82°17′S on dog sleigh on 30 December 1902. Jan 9 1909 during the Nimrod Expedition Ernest Shackleton, Jameson Adams, Frank Wild and Eric Marshall reach 88°23'S, just 180 km from the South Pole, before having to turn back. 14 December 1911 Roald Amundsen, Olav Bjaaland, Oscar Wisting and Sverre Hassel are the first humans to reach the South Pole. 17 January 1912 During the Terra Nova Expedition Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Wilson, Lawrence Oates, Henry Robertson Bowers and Edgard Evans also reach Pole but perish on the way back to the base. 1914 Ernest Shackleton endeavors a trans-Antarctic expedition but his ship Endurance is crushed by the ice and the resulting journey is a fight for survival. 1929 Richard E. Byrd with Bernt Balchen at the commands fly an airplane over the South Pole. 1956-57 during the International Geophysical Year the Amundsen-Scott base is established at the South Pole. 1989 Victoria Murden and Shirley Metz are the first women to reach the South Pole taking an overland route. 1989 Reinhold Messner and Arvid Fuchs are the first to reach the South Pole without animal or motor help. 2011 Christian Eide is the fastest and reaches the South Pole in 24 days.

I'd be glad to meet you for a no obligation discussion of your wedding photography – please do get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you!


Welcome Mechanics! I have decided its time we all have a place to bounce our H and A issues and findings off each other. We all know the usual routine of getting a complaint, searching it on ISIS only to find there is no current S/B or S/N related to the issue, spend an hour going through the trouble shooting, then finally call tech line only to find out they have already received other calls for the same issue. Well here I hope we all can put down our findings and fixes as a quick reference for any dealership technician. Please read some of the material your fellow mechanics have put up and post some of your own findings as well. Since I am tring to keep the the material on this site accurate I am only granting dealship techs access to post material. An active DPTS # is required and will be asked for before membership is approved. Thank you and enjoy.

Pirates Andrew McCutchen is red hot
By Jason Romano Aug 1, 2017
Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD, 6/7/2017 - Andrew McCutchen swings in a game against the Baltimore Orioles. (Photo Courtesy: Keith Allison (Flickr) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons)
On May 23, Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen found himself going hitless in five at-bats in a 6-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. His average dropped down to .200. It was the lowest point in the season and many questioned what kind of future the former National League MVP would have in Pittsburgh.
John Jaso doubled to the RF corner and now has a higher batting average (.207) than Andrew McCutchen (.202).
— Joshua (@DCParallax) May 24, 2017
And then suddenly, something clicked.
McCutchen caught fire.
In his last 56 games, from May 26 through July 31, 'Cutch' has hit .356, the best batting average in the National League. His slugging percentage of .687, and on base percentage of .473 is also number one in the NL.
"I don't look anywhere specifically," McCutchen said to Fan Graph about his slow start in April and May. "The struggle of the season, in the beginning, has nothing to do with the location of pitches, it has to do with me, from the start. It has to do with my setup in the box, it has to do with my preparation, being ready to hit whatever is thrown at me. The reason I was struggling was because of what I was doing prior to swinging the bat."
On Sunday July 30, McCutchen hit three home runs against the Padres, to cap off a phenomenal month of July where he averaged .322 with 8 home runs and 19 RBI.

Back in 2016, McCutchen, an outspoken Christian, shared about platform and how he has made it his mission to use the platform that baseball has given him to give back to others and point people back to the God that created him.
"A lot of people feel that in order to make a difference, that you got to be this big person," said McCutchen. "You have to be this famous person. You got to have this much money. But the fact is, if you're for God, you're making a difference already. Just a small gesture goes such a far way."
Cutch talked about how his faith in Jesus Christ is what he focuses on and when he deviates from that, things get all messed up.
"The more I started to concentrate on God, the less I started to concentrate on individual accolades and stats and baseball," said McCutchen. "I just started looking at things from a different spectrum. Reach toward God, look toward Him, the game is just different. I play it differently."
The Pirates begin the month of August three games below .500 at 51-54, but remain 5.5 games behind the Cubs in the NL Central. They'll need more hot hitting from Andrew McCutchen if they want to be playing baseball in October.

"Aware engagements" and the School of HONK
Responding to a writing prompt by philosopher of education Maxine Greene: "I argue for aware engagements [through the arts] less likely to coincide forever with what they are."
I take "aware engagements" to mean a relationship to art that is not passive. For music, I imagine a continuum of engagement, from the most passive to the most engaged, that might look something like this: Muzak, movie soundtracks, subway headphones to garage band block party, ballroom dancing, singing in a church choir to professional musicians playing a concert, jazz improvisation, street band spectacles.
The first three of these are wholly passive consumption: we take the music as is, and in a context that asks nothing of us except to hear it, and to evoke more or less its creators' and mediators' intended mood, emotion or attitude.
The middle three involve some kind of active participation by more than just "musicians" — and all are "live" lived music, unmediated by commercial and technological intervention. All also imply at least some kinetic and mental, mind-and-body movement and energy.
The final three are examples of what I would consider quintessential "aware engagements." And each, I would argue, fulfills the ultimate, universal human yearning to play. Stuart Brown has written about the essence (and vital importance) of play to people's lives. He suggests a short list of the unique and powerful properties of play: purposelessness (done for its own sake), voluntary inherent attraction, freedom from time, diminished consciousness of self, improvisational potential, continuous desire.
Any musician is nodding her head. This describes (for me, at least) the heights of personal transcendence that mark my lifelong passion for music and music making. Moments on stage (and more often than not in the streets as well) where, sometimes in solo improvisation, but other times as well, I was connecting with other musicians, with the audience, and with a person in me I was meeting for the very first time. It's the most "aware engagement" I can imagine, aesthetically, but also socially, and spiritually.
These are the active engagements with music-as-art that are the least "likely to coincide forever with what they are." They are active, contemporary reinterpretations of art, precisely to ensure art "classics" avoid the isolation from lived experience that John Dewey cautions against. We can aspire to Greene's aware engagements whether playing or listening intently to a piece of Classical or other music, but (I think) also by performing, e.g, a most heartfelt, if also caricatured reinterpretation of another classic. In all such cases, these moments don't just invite active engagements — they compel everyone to express (and rediscover) themselves in the bold, beautiful face of the art around them.
The tragedy is that most people in our modern culture rarely ever experience that self- and other-affirmation through play, with music-making at least, and perhaps not in most other ways that really matter either, and certainly not on a regular basis. And not only tragic for individuals, it's a fundamental crisis for our world. As a species, we were playing together, and playing music together, long before we uttered our first words, built our first walls, or contemplated planetary suicide. In the olden days, we came together to dance and wail and beat our chests and drums, to express ourselves, but also always in harmony with each other. We did this all the time, part ritual, but also part spontaneous reinterpretation of that ritual, and bit built both trust and mutual understanding among the tribe. It's perhaps the most important antidote to the fact that it is otherwise, much of the rest of the time, hard to always love thy neighbor.
It is this notion of music-making as PLAY for FUN—a non-competitive, wholly inclusive, self- and other-regarding awareness and action—that is literally at the heart of my School of HONK. "We are here to have fun" is uttered at the beginning of every Sunday meeting. And by fun, we mean we want to be playful with our instruments, our repertoire, and our performance, we don't worry too much about wrong notes, and we never know exactly what's going to happen.
Making that creative play possible is the work of our School of HONK mentors. We take great efforts, in our repertoire, our pedagogy and our demeanor to put everyone at ease and encourage everyone to be themselves and take risks. That can often mean working against acquired fears many of us have to express ourselves musically (young kids don't have this fear, btw, they learn it!). But the main point is—as so much research and commentary has confirmed over and over again—play is also the secret to real, lasting, lifelong learning. Kids, just like adults, find it easy to learn when they are having fun, and—in the case of music at least—the two don't ever have to be mutually exclusive.
Final note: at the very end of the "aware engagements" spectrum might be a street band action, with what Stephen Duncombe calls "progressive ethical spectacle." These bands have the potential to reinvigorate citizen participation in community and political life, through a public action (rally, protest, march, etc.) that is "directly democratic, breaks down hierarchies, fosters community, allows for diversity, and engages with reality while asking what new realities might be possible." That was the idea behind the HONK! Festival I started with friends ten years ago, and it remains the best way I've ever encountered for reawakening people's hope for a better future.

Hydrogen Safety
Fotis Rigas
Paul Amyotte
Published March 9, 2018 by CRC Press
304 Pages 12 Color & 82 B/W Illustrations
Published July 9, 2012 by CRC Press
Hydrogen Safety highlights physiological, physical, and chemical hazards associated with hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and use systems. It also examines potential accident scenarios that could occur with hydrogen use under certain conditions.
The number of potential applications for hydrogen continues to grow—from cooling power station generators to widespread commercial use in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles and other fuel-cell applications. However, this volatile substance poses unique challenges, including easy leakage, low ignition energy, a wide range of combustible fuel-air mixtures, buoyancy, and its ability to embrittle metals that are required to ensure safe operation.
Focused on providing a balanced view of hydrogen safety—one that integrates principles from physical sciences, engineering, management, and social sciences—this book is organized to address questions associated with the hazards of hydrogen and the ensuing risk associated with its industrial and public use.
What are the properties of hydrogen that can render it a hazardous substance?
How have these hazards historically resulted in undesired incidents?
How might these hazards arise in the storage of hydrogen and with its use in vehicular transportation?
The authors address issues of inherently safer design, safety management systems, and safety culture. They highlight hydrogen storage facilities —which pose greater hazards because of the increased quantities stored and handled—and the dangers of using hydrogen as a fuel for transport. Presented experiments are included to verify computer simulations with the aid of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of both gaseous and liquefied hydrogen. The book also provides an overview of the European Commission (EC) Network of Excellence for Hydrogen Safety (HySafe) and presents various case studies associated with hydrogen and constructional materials. It concludes with a brief look at future research requirements and current legal requirements for hydrogen safety.

Der Cerro El Jardín ( für Gartenhügel) ist ein Hügel auf der Livingston-Insel im Archipel der Südlichen Shetlandinseln. Auf der Westseite des Kap Shirreff, dem nördlichen Ende der Johannes-Paul-II.-Halbinsel, ragt er westlich des Cerro El Toqui am Playa Yamana auf.

Wissenschaftler der 45. Chilenischen Antarktisexpedition (1990–1991) benannten ihn nach den zahlreichen Flechtenarten, die sie hier wie in einem Garten vorgefunden hatten.

Chandler's Trailers: "Love Story" (1970) →
Make Him Dance, Boys: "Pale Rider" (1985)
Posted on May 8, 2015	by chandlerswainreviews
Richard Dysart plays greedy landowner Coy LaHood and John Russell plays his hired gun Marshal Stockburn, both representing a metaphorical darkness in the Biblically tinted Clint Eastwood Western drama "Pale Rider".
In "Pale Rider", director Clint Eastwood has fashioned not so much a remake of "Shane" as a reinterpretation of the story's key elements mixed with a retooling of the basic supernal retributive conventions of his own 1973 "High Plains Drifter"; an amalgam of styles both aesthetic and thematic that while not an entirely successful mesh, does often yield interesting results in the continuation of Eastwood's personal directorial style; an aesthetic which stresses the spare leanness of storytelling (virtually commiserate with docudrama in its lack of trimmable narrative fat) that is highly reminiscent of his mentor Don Siegel, as opposed to the overtly flamboyant and self-consciously stylized visual histrionics of his other more invisible influence, Sergio Leone; though such storytelling austerity places greater demands on the written material to be complimentary in its lack of sagacity by making every word and gesture carry a contributory value of significance: a trait of certain films which is often mistaken as profundity when, in fact, it might be more practically suggestive of a formal emptiness.
This emptiness actually factors into the true Leone influence as once again, Eastwood's character is portrayed as a type of nomadic cipher, though in actuality rather than The Man With No Name, is more accurately The Man With No Story: we know no more about him by the end of the film than we do at the beginning, despite the fact that there are myriad opportunities for intimate exploration that are met with frustratingly stony silence. That the true nature of his character remains undefined (not to mention possibly phantasmagorical) is a result of deliberative design, and thus one must ascribe as a calculated pattern in the Eastwood directorial oeuvre. The characters played by Eastwood remain existential ciphers; rather than originating as provocateurs, they seem limited to entering an already embittered arena requiring a moral cleansing by way of a six-shooter; Eastwood plays the avenging angel in Western garb obliterating the frontier Sodom and Gommorah. The religious overtones (rather than purely supernatural echoes which invested "High Plains Drifter" with a sense of Hellbound retribution but without a sophisticated enough development to suggest whether or not that "avenger" was intended as supernal or merely supernatural) of the story are developed commensurately with the film's swing toward a feminine (not feminist) perspective: something completely new in an Eastwood Western, though it is interesting to note that even this gentler presence is substantially limited to Sarah (Carrie Snodgress) and her young daughter Megan (Sydney Penny), whose early whispered plea for help seems to initiate the appearance of the mysterious Preacher (Eastwood). There is a dual romantic dynamic at play with both Sarah and daughter expressing romantic longings for the enigmatic stranger- suggested by his unflinching willingness to confront menacing antagonists -despite the fact that Sarah is also involved in a tentative relationship with Hull Barret (sensitively played by Michael Moriarty), a propector who rather bravely takes on a role of reasoned leadership among the settlers and becomes an ersatz sidekick and ally to Preacher. However, with the film's elemental Biblical charged stand of Good vs. Evil, Eastwood boxes himself into a creative paradox: what works to inform the film with this limiting moral primitivism is also what causes the film to fall short of a fully realized vision.

I actually like this Eastwood western, though not as much as 'Josey Wales'. It has a very good cast, and they imbue their roles with appropriate gravitas.

Welcome, K9 Copper! Sheriff Tim Pounds and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office have noticed a significant increase in the number of missing persons, especially amongst the elderly with Alzheimer's Disease/Dementia and children (especially with autism). Since Sheriff Pounds took office in January, 2017, there have been 475 missing/runaway persons. Out of those approximately 37 were disabled children and adults. Only five of those cases remain open which are all runaway juveniles where no foul play is suspected. Some of these were large scale searches that involved multi-jurisdictional responses and resources. In some of these cases a well trained bloodhound could have expedited the efforts in locating these individuals. "Copper," a blood hound graciously donated by two local breeders, Cody Sparks and Rebecca Myers will be trained in tracking children and Alzheimer's/dementia patients in the efforts to assist with locating missing persons. Donated at 13 weeks old, Copper will also be trained in public relations and used in S.C.O.P.E. (Sheriff's Community Outreach Program & Education) activities. DCSO's K-9 Unit provides teams of highly trained canines and handlers for the purpose of protecting citizens and enhancing the safety of fellow law enforcement officers. The Sheriff's K-9 Unit aspires to relate, in a positive manner, with the general public, maintain a professional image, and to constantly strive to increase the efficiency and productivity of the Unit through continuous training. Sheriff Pounds is dedicated to serving and protecting our community as he has done for the people of Douglas County for more than 40 years. #DCSheriffGA #DCSheriffGAK9 #missingchildrenandelderly #K9CopperDCSO

He was taken to the Douglas County Jail where he was charged with the following offenses: Justin Bryant: Sales of Methamphetamine 2 counts, Use of a Communication Device to Facilitate a Felony 2 counts, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Marijuana Less Than One Ounce and Possession of Drug Related Objects.

Douglas County Sheriff's Office to Hold Pinning Ceremony for Service Members and Veteran Officers Thursday, November 8, 2018 at 10:00AM, Sheriff Tim Pounds and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office will hold a pinning ceremony for veteran officers at the DCSO Complex, located at 8470 Earl D. Lee Blvd., Douglasville, GA 30134. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is proud to recognize and honor its brotherhood of service members and veterans with US Military lapel pins. The officers will wear them on their Class A and B uniforms. There is a total of 77 service members and veterans that serve with the DCSO. These men (and women) have served a combined total of 630 years in military service to our country. Forty have served in the United States Army; six with the branch of the Navy; 17 with the Marines; five with the Air Force; and nine are National Guard veterans. The Pinning Ceremony will pay tribute to these service members and veterans and honor the Veteran's Day holiday. The DCSO is blessed, honored, and proud to have these men (and women) serve as officers. Their service to our country and locally is not taken lightly. These men and women have trained and served on the front lines of war and now risk their lives daily to protect and serve the citizens of Douglas County. Unfortunately, every day, these officers encounter citizen veterans. It is with great hope and anticipation as these great men (and women) are pinned, the small token will also be a unique symbol that helps to bring familiarity and connection during the encounters with their shared brotherhood of Service Members and bridge a gap in the relationship between officers and veteran citizens. Douglas County Sheriff's Office is dedicated to making Douglas County a safe place to work, live and play. For more information about the pinning ceremony please contact: Joy Pounds at 770-577-5104 or via email: jvpounds@sheriff.douglas.ga.us.
We want everyone to have a safe and happy Halloween. Please remember to always look both ways before crossing the street, only go to homes you know (and that have their porch lights on), and to check candy for anything suspicious before eating it.

Traffic Stop Leads to Drug Arrest On October 18, 2018 Dep. Barber with the Douglas county Crime Suppression Unit observed a Chevy Avalanche failing to maintain its lane, I-20 east bound just before County line Rd. Reports had been circulating that this vehicle was involved in narcotics distribution in Douglas County. Dep. Barber attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle. The subject pulled into the median as if it were going to stop. The driver threw a plastic bag out the window and pulled back into traffic fleeing from Deputy Barber at a high rate of speed. Barber pursued the subject with his emergency equipment activated. The subject exited onto Lee rd, turning right going south bound. Dep. Barber continued to pursue the Avalanche until the driver pulled over and was taken into custody. Dep. Britt with the Douglas County FIND unit went to the location where the driver now identified as Winston McCray had thrown the bag out of his window. Dep. Britt recovered a plastic bag containing smaller multiple jeweler's baggies. The baggies contained what appeared to be powder cocaine and crack cocaine. Agents from the Special Investigation Division responded to the scene and conducted a field test on the contents of the baggies. The test gave a positive reaction for cocaine. In total, there were 63 baggies containing cocaine; 22 of those baggies contained the base form of crack cocaine, the total weight was 19.83 grams. McCray is charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, fleeing and attempting to elude and for fail to maintain lane.

We'd all like to have an Equalizer like Robert McCall (Denzel Washington). On a train outside Istanbul, he's the quiet one reading a book who is also a man with a mission: accost a Turkish American who kidnapped his daughter not because he loved her, but because, out of spite, he didn't want his ex-wife to have her. The Equalizer returns with the little girl, who melts into her mother's arms.
Next thing we know, Robert McCall is driving for Lyft. One of his rides is an elderly Jewish man who keeps telling him about his search for his lost sister. They were separated by the Nazis during the War, and haven't seen each other since. Robert McCall spends some time with the man, listening to him, looking at his pictures, caring about his preoccupation. McCall also spends some time with a neighbor kid, Miles (Ashton Sanders), who's got some artistic talent, but is also on the verge of getting in with a gang, partly because then he thinks he can get revenge for his brother who was shot. McCall tries to convince Miles that he has a decision to make with his life, and it's irreversible.
On one of his Lyft rides, McCall encounters a callous young man putting a dishevelled young woman in the back seat who's obviously hurt, and he only pays McCall to drive her home. McCall takes her to the hospital instead, finds out she was assaulted by a group of arrogant, entitled young rich men, and McCall pays them a visit to remind them of their obligation to her.
McCall is still grieving for his wife, but he has friends, one of whom, Susan (Melissa Leo), seems to have known his late wife, also. But there's more to this---Susan works for some clandestine government agency which McCall used to be part of, as well---that's where he learned his unique close-quarter skills. Though McCall has successfully walked away from that life, by staging his own funeral in D.C. and moving to Boston, he gets dragged back in, because Susan is on the trail of betrayals within the outfit, which puts them all at risk.
Director Antoine Fuqua seems content to move at a cerebral pace. There are plenty of quiet scenes taking place in small apartments and tiny courtyards. There's some brutal action in the middle which doesn't seem to intersect with these characters, but eventually we find out the connections, because it takes someone like The Equalizer to figure it out for us.
At the end, we're playing violent hide-and-seek (the losers die) at an abandoned beach resort in the middle of a hurricane. But we all know that even the tempest outside can't stop our intrepid Equalizer, who has a way of making wrongs right, and then quietly fading back into the woodwork. How can we not like a guy like that?


This article should take some of the mystery out of METARs even for experienced pilots.
I am going to break down Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METARs) into two articles, Part 1 and Part 2. This first article will cover the main part of METARs or what I call the "easy" part. The second article will cover the "remarks" section of METARs which I call the "hard" part.
By the end you should be an expert in deciphering METARs. Just kidding, you won't be an expert by the end of the article, but you will know more than when you started.
There are two primary places to get METARs and TAFs: NOAA's aviation weather site or an aviation app on your smart device.
I personally use Foreflight. It is hands down the most advanced aviation and weather flight planning tool out there. But if you don't want to spend $99 a year then check out this article on the Top 8 Weather Apps for Pilots.
For those of you who want free, here is a screen shot from the Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS) website. Don't bother with DUATs, stick to this website.
You can click on either METARs or TAFs. It doesn't matter which since both tabs will let you select both METARs and TAFs. Enter in the airport identifier of the airport(s) you need. You can enter multiple airports at once.
I suggest you always choose both METARs and TAFs. The METAR only gives you a small snapshot in time. They are only good for an hour. They are usually refreshed around 55 past the hour.
TAFs, on the other hand, cover a 24 to 30 hour period and they are published 6 times a day (0000, 0600, 1200, 1800).
ADDS lets you print out the METARs and TAFs. I suggest you print them and take them with you in the plane. I also suggest you print the airport diagram even if you have Foreflight.
How do you read/decode METARs?
Getting the METAR is the easy part! Decoding and understanding METARs is another matter entirely.
Here is an example METAR and TAF from Salem, OR (KSLE). The top line is the METAR and the bottom six lines are the TAFs. As you can see it's not such a great day today!
I like to break down METARs into two parts.
The easy part is straight forward. It always starts with the airport identifier. Make sure you dodn't type in the wrong airport.
The first two numbers are the day. In this example it is the 17th. They assume you know what month you are in. So, you will never see the month. The next four numbers indicate the time. It is 2056Z.
The "Z" is for "ZULU" time. Zulu time is another way of saying Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) or Greenwhich Mean Time (GMT). They are all the same thing.
The next two numbers indicate the strength of the winds. They are 14 knots in the example above.
The "G" stands for gusts. The winds are gusting up to 21 knots in this example.
Often times you will hear aviators talk about the "gust spread." To get the gust spread subtract the sustained winds (14kts) from the max reported gust number (21kts).
The gust spread is an important number to know because it can be an indication of wind shear. In this case the gust spread is only 7 knots. Not too bad, but still something you need to pay attention to.
If you don't see a "G" then there aren't any gusty winds. That's a good thing. If you fly small airplanes, gusty winds should make you stop and thing a little bit.
At my regional airline anytime the gust spread is more than 10 knots, we take precautions for wind shear. We adjust our procedures and keep the Bleed Air off on landing and takeoff to give us more power should we need to execute a missed approach.
The "KT" stands for "knots." Its just a friendly reminder that winds are always reported in knots. You will never see the winds reported in miles per hour. Get used to thinking in knots.
TEACHING TANGENT: Sometimes wind direction can be confusing for new aviators. Just think of it like this: when the winds are "180," if you stood looking south you would get a face full of wind.
Winds aloft and surface wind depictions are also a bit confusing. Here is a pic of winds aloft. It may seem like the winds are coming from the East. For some reason I think of the barbs as wind socks, but they aren't. They show where the winds are coming from just like the METAR. You would have a hell of a head wind flying west in this example.
To prove it here is a screen shot of Foreflight's winds aloft in text (yet another reason I love Foreflight). The picture above shows winds aloft at 21,000 feet. The barbs show winds are out of the northwest which is confirmed when you look below and see the winds are 292 degrees at 21,000 feet.
After the winds comes the visibility.
They are 10 statute miles in this example. You will never see this number reported in nautical miles. You will also never see the visibility reported more than ten statute miles. You may see "9999" which indicates visibility is so awesome it deserves a bunch of 9s.
Also, anytime this number drops below three statute miles, the airport is operating under IFR conditions. The rotating beacon will come on during the day.
Next you will see the description of the weather. I pulled this chart from Wikipedia. You should know most of these by heart especially "RA" for rain and "BR" for Mist, "FG" for fog, and "SN" for snow.
I have found the "-" number, which indicates "light," is often times misleading. Portland's METAR will say "-RA" even when it's pouring. So, be careful when you see the "-" and treat it with healthy skepticism.
The absence of a "-" or "+" means moderate intensity.
The "+" should certainly give you serious pause. It takes a lot to get a "+" on the METAR.
If you see "SQ," "FC," "IC," or "PL," you should almost certainly go home. Fly some other time.
TEACHING TANGENT: You need to be worried when you see the "TS." You should immediately look for any active convective SIGMETs. For a more in depth article on AIRMETs and SIGMETs, click here.
After the weather description comes the cloud coverage.
Remember "Scattered" and "Few" don't count as a ceiling. Only the "Broken" and "Overcast" layers are ceilings.
The numbers can be confusing so here is a trick: always add TWO zeros to the number. When you add two zeros to "OVC010" and you get overcast at 1,000 feet.
I really get concerned when I see "OVC001," or "BKN002." When you see those numbers it means the ceilings are 100 feet and 200 feet. If you see these numbers in the METAR, make sure you brief the missed approach procedure because you probably won't break out.
Here is a chart from the Aviation Weather Services AC 00-45g (page 51) which explains sky cover contractions.
If you do see a "VV" on your METAR report its probably because you have fog or dust in the area. There aren't any clouds per se, but you won't be able to see crap. If you see "VV" seriously consider staying home.
Sometimes you will see a cumulonimbus "CB," and towering cumulus "TCU," in the report. The number reported with it is the base of the cloud and not it's height.
TEACHING TANGENT: For VFR pilots, anything less than 1,000 feet means you will need to get a Special VFR clearance from the tower (at controlled airports).
You also need to be careful at airports with surface Class E like this one in Oregon with no tower. Surface Class E airspace is considered controlled airspace so keeping "clear of clouds" won't work. With ceilings less than 1000 feet you have to talk to Center and get Special VFR permission to land at this airport.
Also, you can't do special VFR between sunset and sunrise unless you hold an instrument ticket.
The next part contains the temp and dew point.
These numbers are always reported in degrees Celsius. The first number is the current temp and the second number is the dew point.
An "M" before the number means it is a negative number or "minus." So, "M12" is minus 12 degrees Celsius. Cold!!
TEACHING TANGET: You need to seriously pay attention to these numbers when they are within two degrees of each other. With light winds and a low temperature spread you may see fog.
I have been fooled before by these numbers before. In the early morning they may be four degrees different which isn't a problem….yet. As the sun rises the temperature changes, a clear day can turn into a nightmare. The TAF should anticipate fog, but not always.
Remember, METARs are a static picture in time. They are usually published at 55 past the hour. You need to do some advanced decision making and think about what the temperature will do from the time you get weather to when you take off.
The final section of the easy part is the altimeter setting. The "A" stands for altimeter and the numbers following is the altimeter setting around 55 past the hour.
TEACHING TANGENT: When you do your run up, dial in the current altimeter and compare what's in the window to the airport elevation. If your altimeter is more than 75 feet different than the official airport elevation, your altimeter is broken.
Also, if you happen to have two altimeters in your aircraft make sure they read within 100 feet of each other.
That wraps up the easy part of the METAR. You should have a much better understanding of them now.
I have purposely left out the Remarks section of the METAR report. I saved it for another article. It deserves its own section. Check out Part 2 of decoding METARs by clicking here.

13 Tech Experts Share Essential Facts About End-To-End Encryption
Expert Panel®
Jul 13, 2022, 08:15am EDT |
Consumers and businesses alike are bombarded by cautionary news stories about the importance of protecting their digital data. While that message may be coming through loud and clear, what may be holding the public back when it comes to fully protecting themselves is a lack of knowledge about the specifics of available security tools and processes, including end-to-end encryption.
E2EE can play an important part in ensuring that your digital messages aren't accessed and read by anyone but the intended recipients. But how does it work—and is it foolproof? To help consumers and businesses better understand the role E2EE plays in security, 13 members of Forbes Technology Council share essential facts about E2EE, including what it entails, why it's important and what its limitations are.
1. With E2EE, Only The Sender And Recipient Can Access Transferred Data
E2EE protects data from getting into unwanted or malicious hands by blocking third-party or unauthorized users from accessing the transferred data. E2EE is critical because it provides the necessary data security to both users and receivers from the point a message is sent to when it is received. Only the sender and the intended recipient can access the transferred data via a secure communication line. - Vivian Lyon, Plaza Dynamics
2. E2EE Prevents Hacks At The Server Level
E2EE is the only way to truly protect privacy. It requires hackers to execute attacks at the device level as opposed to the server level, significantly reducing chances of a breach. It also ensures the integrity of the data; a lack of such assurance presents a real fear and hindrance to a good digital experience. However, the data is only as protected as the receiving device. If that endpoint is compromised, the encryption doesn't help. - John Milburn, Clear Skye
3. Sending Unencrypted Emails Is Like Sending A Postcard
Sending confidential or protected information in a regular email is like sending a postcard; anyone who gets hold of it along the way can easily read the message. End-to-end encryption is like sealing the message in an envelope that requires a special magic wand to open it—a wand that only the intended recipient has access to. Always encrypt protected information when sending it. - Ann Westerheim, Ekaru
4. The FDA Focuses On Encryption In Medical Devices
Remote care and clinical innovations have made connectivity ubiquitous in medical devices, which are increasingly going home with patients. Securing the communication of medical devices is critical to ensure clinical operation and thus, patient safety. Consumers of devices should know that encryption and related cryptography implementation is a focus for the Food and Drug Administration in assessing devices. - Mike Kijewski, MedCrypt
5. Many Service Providers Only Provide TLS
While many messaging and email apps offer some form of encryption, not all of them use true end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and the receiver have the keys needed to decrypt the data (not even the service provider can access it). Many service providers use transport layer security, which is a more common type of encryption where the service providers can still access your data. - Dragos Rus, WeSupply Labs
6. Enterprise Applications Aren't Protected By E2EE
There is widespread awareness of the need and the availability of end-to-end encryption when it comes to messaging applications, but enterprise applications aren't protected by E2EE. The connection between the application tier and the database tier is encrypted, and most of the time, the data at rest is encrypted. The gap is when data is processed in the database tier, where it is in the open. - Ameesh Divatia, Baffle, Inc.
7. Without E2EE, You're Being Tracked Everywhere
We have only the illusion of privacy. Posting on social media and visiting websites allows the collection, storage and tracking of your behavior across sites. Companies buy, sell and correlate that information to get a picture of who you are. When you use end-to-end encryption, the information you send to and from systems is encrypted across the internet, making it more challenging to access. - Sean Barker, cloudEQ
8. It's Important To Look For Both Data And Channel Encryption
When it comes to end-to-end encryption, two key aspects need to be well understood: data encryption and channel (pathway) encryption. With a good data encryption strategy (whether it's data at rest or in motion) and a channel encryption strategy, one can be assured of data security. Next time you evaluate a data security service level agreement, you now know the top two items on your checklist! - Shine Xavier , DLTLedgers
9. Some Companies Decrypt Messages On Their Servers
Not all encryption is equal. Some companies advertise end-to-end encryption but actually decrypt messages on their servers before re-encrypting them to send off. Malicious actors can intercept messages and information at this juncture. As a security-conscious consumer, it is important to find companies that offer "true" end-to-end encryption, where there is no way to decrypt messages in transit. - Nicholas Domnisch, EE Solutions (EES Health)
10. E2EE Hides Content But Not Context
Although the use of end-to-end encryption allows you to hide the content of external messages, the very fact that you're exchanging messages with a specific interlocutor is still available. The server will not know what was in the message, but it will record that on this day and at this time you exchanged messages. In some cases, the fact that you're communicating with certain recipients may garner unwanted attention. - Vasily Voropaev, Smartbrain.io
11. E2EE Doesn't Protect Your Behavioral Privacy
End-to-end encryption is an evolutionary step to better protect your data, but it doesn't fully protect your privacy. Your behavioral privacy—the services you use—can still be identified unless you use a VPN service that anonymizes your activity. - Victor Shilo, EastBanc Technologies
12. E2EE Can't Protect You From Errors
Encryption is effective when the sender and receiver are trusted sources. But mistakes can be made—for example, something is sent to the wrong receiver—and in those cases, your encryption has zero benefit. As with any security technology, E2EE is just one of the layers that helps keep data and communications secure. Relying on encryption alone will quickly result in a major breach. - Lior Yaari, Grip Security
13. Tokenization Can Provide Better Protection
End-to-end encryption only works if your platform used for encryption is accessible from anywhere. This usually means you want a software as a service solution. On the other hand, with tokenization, more databases and applications along the end-to-end path will accept tokens rather than cipher text. This will ensure better protection for your data. - James Beecham, ALTR

SEPECAT Jaguar
History Survivors Profiles Walkaround Models
"A very high performance little ship. It certainly gets out and gets up very fast indeed - to the point that it surprises Lightning pilots"
- Wing Commander John Walker, OC, RAF Jaguar OCU, 1974 (bending the truth in style)
Derided as an underpowered, unreliable and unsophisticated type in its early years, the Jaguar evolved into a well-loved, rugged and incredibly reliable strike aircraft and was an export success despite the best efforts of one half of the type's creators. From an enthusiast's point of view this was one charismatic cat, and its retirement from RAF service was a sad day.
But how did a requirement for a supersonic trainer aircraft to replace the Gnat end up becoming a strike aircraft so useful that it remained in service even when the Tornado arrived?
Read on for the history of the Jaguar.

A few weeks ago I discovered a new company called Whaat? Studio that creates a line of shirts called Lovetees, among many other things. These custom tees feature all 50 states, big cities and a handful of countries. As you can imagine, I jumped at the opportunity to highlight Oklahoma and share some of our new favorite spots around the city with Brady by my side in our matching tees.
Being born and raised in Oklahoma, I've seen this state go through so many changes. None of them, though, have been as drastic as the changes I've seen over the last five years. When we moved to Dallas in 2012, we were so excited to get to a big city with more activities and opportunities, and let me tell you... we loved it. We returned to Oklahoma City two years later after having Brady and were shocked at how much had changed in that short amount of time. Over the three years we've been back, and even now, we see new construction everywhere. From skyscrapers and highways to restaurants and entertainment venues, and even beautiful new parks and highly anticipated retail establishments... the economic growth is just insane.
One of our new favorite spots is Wheeler Park in the Wheeler District, just south of Downtown Oklahoma City (where our photos were taken above). This is a relatively new district that will soon transform into a super modern neighborhood with urban cottages, townhomes and a school. The park is situated along the Oklahoma River and is home to a colorful Ferris Wheel, an array of hammocks for visitors to lounge on, swings, outdoor games and a concession stand with healthy snack options. Just over two years ago they installed the Ferris Wheel as an official opening of the district. But this isn't just any Ferris Wheel, it's the Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel from the California coast. Makes it even cooler, right?
In addition to Wheeler Park, there are several new places around the area that we frequent quite often. We love adventuring in the Boathouse District, just minutes down the river. A few miles north is our favorite new restaurant/concert venue, The Jones Assembly (read my review here), and a few more miles north is Capitals, an ice cream and coffee shop that is unlike anything I've seen before. Construction also just began on a large park a few blocks south of Chesapeake Arena (a few miles east of Wheeler Park) that will be very similar to Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. Speaking of Dallas, OKC will open their first streetcar later this year, running all throughout Downtown and Midtown. It's almost like we brought a little bit of Uptown Dallas home with us, right?!
None of these things existed just a few years ago. What I mentioned above is just a tiny glimpse into all of the new and exciting things going on in Oklahoma City and several of the surrounding communities. State parks are being exquisitely renovated, large companies are relocating their headquarters here and everything is just booming. It honestly makes me so proud to be from Oklahoma and to experience all of this growth and excitement. With all of these new opportunities and experiences, I hope it helps our kids appreciate and enjoy all of the great things Oklahoma has to offer as they grow up!

Billings Senior High School
Save the Murals
Sandra West (Goldberg)
BIRTH: March 6, 1949, Billings MT
Sedalia Colorado:
Sandi West Goldberg, 42, daughter of John and Lois West, sister of Nancy Martin, Barbara Murphy and Jock West passed away of August 28th of cancer.
Professionally, Ms. West Goldberg was a respected speech pathologist and early childhood special educator. She was a pioneer in developing services for young and at-risk children in the early 1970's. She was an active team member with the Sewell Early Education Development Program, a nationally recognized model program for young children with disabilities and their families. In the Cherry Creek school district near Dencer, CO, she spent 15 years, first as a team member of the Early Education Program and then as coordinator of early childhood special education programs. Among the honors Ms. West Goldberg received were the Chan Carman Memorial Award for her outstanding contributions to the mental health of children and the governor's award for oustanding service to the children and families of the state of Colorado. She was a national speaker and consultant in the field of early childhood education. In addition to her career accomplishments, she was president of the cooperative preschool her children attended and a Colorado State University master gardener.
Ms. West Goldberg was born March 6, 1949 in Billings. She graduated from Senior High School where she participated in many community activities. She attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA and was a member of The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She went on to earn her master's degree in speech pathology at the University of Denver. She married Hal Goldberg on Sept. 27, 1980. Their children are Shauna, 9, and Alyssa, 7.
Ms. West Goldberg's family remember her as a deeply loving woman with an exceptional zest for lifenwho was, for them, both a maevel and a model.

Sandi was the total package--kind, sincere, smart, fun to be with and, pretty to boot! I knew her at a young age through our church and reconnected shortly after graduating from UNC. She worked for the Cherry Creek early childhood program and she helped me with networking while I was looking for similar work. I'm so glad she found true happiness with her husband and girls. She left us way too soon. Sandi, we love and miss you!
Kathy Hunkins (Dobbels)
Thank you for remembering Sandi in such a nice way Annie. I miss her too!
Jeanne Cox (House)
As a shy newcomer to BHS & not knowing too many people, Sandi West came into my life at a crucial time! Sandi was so kind and welcoming. We had a great time in Pep Club! I visited Sandi several years later when she & her husband were in Denver. She was as welcoming and hospitable as when we first connected at Senior High. Sandi left us too soon, but easily earned her wings, of that I am very certain.
Bruce Litwin
Sandi went to Lincoln and I went to Lewis & Clark so we met sophomore year at BSHS. She asked me to go to the Sadie Hawkins dance with her in the spring. I did not have my driver's license yet, so she drove and picked me up in her new yellow convertible Mustang. I know some of you remember her and that car. Sandi and I were relatively close through high school and the first two years of college – she at Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA and me at West Point in New York. She, two girlfriends, and I took the train from Billings to Chicago and then New York City over Christmas break 1968. We spent time in the City and they visited West Point with me. After sophomore year of college Sandi transferred to University of Denver and she and I drifted apart. I was destined to go into the Army and she was developing doubts about the Vietnam war. Realistically, after two years of college I'm sure Sandi realized that there were more fish in the sea.
Sandi was talented, friendly, intelligent, energetic, patient, kind, loyal – a truly fine human being. She was also tough. I remember her telling my about having surgery to correct scoliosis when she was at Lincoln. She had the surgery and they inserted a rod in her spine. I believe she said she had to stay home for several months to recover. During the recovery period her parents and the school arranged to have a communications box placed/moved to each of her classes so she could attend long distance and keep up with her school work real time at home. She accomplished it with flying colors. None of her health issues stopped her from being totally involved in many activities in high school including the physically demanding Majorettes. Sandi was a role model and someone we all admired.
I think all of us who knew Sandi were saddened when we heard of her untimely death in 1991 at such a young age. I noted from some of the other Memorial comments that Sandi had a good career and a loving husband and daughters in Denver. She was blessed in that regard. After experiencing my mother's death, after a really tough 3 year battle with cancer, I empathize with Sandi's family's agony in their loss. As Irving Berlin said "the song is ended, but the melody lingers on…" We each carry a note of Sandi's melody within us. She is missed.
My parting thought is that Sandi would have been wonderful Grandma!!!

Bruce what beautiful words you spoke of Sandi. I did not know her very well but did have some classes with her. Sandi was truly a beautiful person inside and out. I remember what a kind, friendly and loving person she was. May you RIP and will always be thought of as a gracious and beautiful human being.
