Laurie's Non-paranormal Thoughts and Reviews: Flying Solo by ...

French Cajun Nora Broussard Greenwood was born with the wanderlust. However, her adventurous spirit doesn?t fit the sedate expectations of 1960s catholic New Orleans suburbia.? On a whim, she takes flying lessons to become a pilot. Nora discovers the liberating freedom of flight, but an illicit affair with her pilot instructor complicates all.?? Confronting her ruthless husband for a divorce, Nora is temporarily grounded. Cast out of her home sans her children, she is threatened with her life. Desperate to regain them, she steals her husband?s plane.?Trials and tribulations erupt as she navigates the turbulence her life has become.?In a bizarre twist of fate, she survives by serving as caregiver to her lover?s sickly wife; hoping he will fall further in love with her as his soul mate.? But is that to be?? Nora must make the most difficult decision of her life in order to get things back on track.

?

s instructed by ground control, the Piper Aztec was positioned at the end of the tarmac. ?Lakefront tower, this is November, Twin Piper six, niner, one, five, foxtrot requesting permission for takeoff.? Nervously, Nora awaited clearance. If she got it, she would be on her way. If they stopped her, she might be arrested and lose her children forever.???????
???? There was a brief pause. ?Sorry about that, Twin Piper six, niner, one, five, foxtrot. Clear for takeoff on runway two seven.?
???? With a huge sigh of relief, Nora taxied the plane to the end of runway twenty seven. Good to go. She pushed forward the throttle and began to increase her speed for takeoff. Within seconds she was aloft. The Greenwood?s Piper, in immaculate condition, flew just like the other Piper that she had flown with Steve. The controls were basically the same. But of course, the Greenwoods had equipped theirs with the latest avionics. Avionics Nora had no idea to operate.
???? Nora?s short hair was tucked up in her cap. She was wearing aviators; trying to appear as much like the Greenwood?s pilot as possible. Seventy-five knots, eighty-five knots. Lift, she was off the ground head?ing west.
???? Flying out, she could see downtown New Orleans on her left. But as planned, she banked right and made a turn north crossing back over Lakefront and LakePonchartrain. Previously, she had only flown over the mouth of the lake, which in and of itself was over five miles. Flying over the diameter of the lake was nerve wracking. Once she got over the middle, there was water as far as she could see. As the second largest salt water lake, it was huge. Forty miles east to west and twenty four miles from its southern shore northward. Exactly the direction Nora was flying. She was relieved when she could see shoreline coming into view near Mandeville. She increased her altitude and leveled off at her cruise.
???? Now, it was just a matter of identifying her land?marks along the way, making sure she followed her course. She had studied the maps more intently than any previous flight. It was going to be tremendously difficult to differentiate where she was over the acres and acres of pine forests. Once she hit land at Man?deville, she knew that she was about to cross the bor?der to Mississippi. Then, the plane would be safely in another state.
???? The state of Louisiana operated under Napoleonic law. Baton Rouge was where her children temporarily were. Therefore, had she chosen to fly there, it might have been considered theft. At this point, everything she had just left was still considered community prop?erty. With the Greenwood?s power, Nora suspected they would find some loophole and have her arrested. At the moment, no legal papers had been filed; techni?cally, she was still a Greenwood. By flying to another state that recognized community property, Nora avoided the Napoleonic law implications.
???? ?Hattiesburg, Mississippi was an ideal location. A small to medium sized city, close enough in geo?graphical proximity to Baton Rouge and New Orleans to make her plan work. Plus, Pine Belt was a general aviation airport large enough to have hangars for rent. As Nora continued to fly over the immense pine for?ests she realized how harrowing finding her visuals was going to be. There were acres upon acres of them. Tall, lush, and stately under most circumstances unless you were attempting to find a landmark. Pin?pointing her point of reference was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
???? Nora plotted her journey along the parallel route that Charlene was driving on Highway 11. Nora knew that construction had commenced for the future Inter?state 59. With both roadways running together in jagged patterns they made a decent north south van?tage point for her to follow.
???? Nora made contact with the first tower. ?Poplarville tower. Twin Piper, November, six, niner, one, five, foxtrot. VFR, four thousand five hundred feet landing Hattiesburg. Over.?
???? ?Twin piper six, niner, one, five, foxtrot copy over.?
???? First check point done. There weren?t going to be as many checks to towers this time. There was no need. Generally, as long as she could follow her landmarks she would be okay. She sustained her alti?tude of four thousand five hundred feet. The gods were looking down upon her, for the weather today was absolutely gorgeous. There were only some rib?bon-like, cirrus clouds in the sky. Otherwise, it was baby blue.
???? As she flew, Nora thought more about what she was actually doing. She was playing the poker card game of her life. Her outcome was to regain custody of her children and her freedom. She would abso?lutely have to hook Frank into her bluff.
???? Her normal exhilaration when flying was marked with fear today. She thought about the Naval ideals that Steve had taught. Honor, courage, and commit?ment. Her courage and commitment to her children were driving her actions. Well, at least she had two out of three. For there was certainly no honor in her first totally independent act as a pilot; which was now stealing a plane.
???? Nora started to see dwellings increasing in num?bers and proximity. She realized she was on the out?skirts of Hattiesburg and would be flying over the city?s western edge. Pinebelt Regional was north of the city. Almost there. Just a few more moments and she would be home free.
???? She made contact with Pinebelt tower when she was ten miles out. ?Pinebelt tower. Twin Piper, No?vember six, niner, one, five, foxtrot. Three miles southwest, requesting permission to land.?
???? ?Twin piper six, niner, one, five, foxtrot clear to land runway three six.?
???? Nora recognized from studying her maps that run?way three six required her to bank left when in prox?imity of the airport. She received another radio communication from the tower, ?Twin Piper, niner, one. Winds are currently zero four five, at twenty-five knots, gusting to thirty-five. Clear to land runway three six.? Nora knew that meant she would be get?ting quite a bit of crosswind as she attempted to land the plane.
???? It suddenly began to dawn on her the risks of this mission. If she somehow failed her landing, and crashed the plane killing herself; her children would not only be motherless, but stranded in Baton Rouge. Although these thoughts began to cross her mind in flashes, she tried to put them out of her head.
???? ?Come on Jack. Help me out here,? calling on her father?s spirit. He was either in heaven or hell, she re?ally wasn?t sure. She took a deep breath, put her head on straight and mentally focused on the task at hand. When she saw the airport come into view several miles out, she pulled back on the throttles and began a gen?tle descent. A few minutes later she could visually see the numbers of runway three six.
???? Nora was also starting to feel the wind. It was dif?ficult to hold her course and her wings were rocking like a boat on rough seas. To maintain her heading required lots of rudder input to compensate. Unfor?tunately, she was sometimes over compensating caus?ing her to overshoot her course in the other direction. She was struggling to keep the nose up. It was going to be the landing from hell.
???? In fact, it was so bad, she radioed the tower. She was dropping too much speed and couldn?t pull the nose of the plane up to stabilize. ?Pinebelt tower, Piper one, five, foxtrot, going around.? She had to bail the landing.
???? ?Piper one, five, foxtrot, clear for the go around. You?re the only one in the area; clear to land at your discretion.?
???? She pushed the throttles forward and leveled off flying just above the runway. Once she started gaining airspeed, she pulled back on the yoke and began her climb into the sky.
???? Sweat was pouring from her brow. This time it was going to take more skill and concentration. She made a climbing bank to the west, leveling off at one thousand five hundred feet. She was now re-estab?lished in the traffic pattern ready to attempt another approach. ?Come on Nora, you can do this. You have to do this,? she coached herself.
???? Making a sign of the cross, she approached the runway again. This time she was much more aggres?sive in her rudder control to compensate for the gusting crosswind. She pointed the nose in the direc?tion of the gusts as Steve had taught her. Keeping her hands steady, she kept the nose up and lowered her speed to begin her descent. ?Steady, steady,? she said. One hundred fifty, one hundred, fifty, twenty five feet. She was at the end of the runway and boom. Nora was down. Smoothly. A huge sigh of relief came over her as she lowered her speed and applied her brakes. She was here. Thank God she was here.
???? Nora taxied the plane towards the hangars for gen?eral aviation. She had rented a temporary space from Grayson Aviation. The mechanic planned to meet her. Pulling the plane safely into the hangar, Nora ticked off yet another step of her strategy. Once she parked, she closed up the Piper and applied the pad lock to the outside door of the building.
???? ?Would you like us to hold the key for you here, Mrs. Greenwood?? the mechanic asked her.
???? ?No, thank you. I will hold onto them. I appreci?ate the offer, but I know the co-owner will be anxious to get them.? Nora then took off her glasses and baseball cap. It felt good to shake out her hair. De?spite it being December, it was drenched with sweat. She walked from the FBO over to the general termi?nal. It would be another hour or so before Charlene arrived, so Nora ordered a Coca-cola mixed with Or?ange Crush and took a seat in the bar to relax.
???? She couldn?t help but watch the clock, wondering how Charlene was making it up Highway 11. Her friend had quite a lead foot; she hoped she wouldn?t be pulled over by the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Nora had given a detailed map to Charlene on how to find the airport.
???? It was almost three o?clock and Charlene?s Caddy was nowhere to be found. Nora got up and walked outside the terminal to look for her. She didn?t want to appear like a loiterer in the terminal and she couldn?t drink too many sodas due to the baby. The caffeine and sugar was already making the baby kick incessantly.
???? Nora rubbed her tummy. ?I wonder if you will be born with the spirit of Jack Broussard?? she ques?tioned the life inside. Nora felt that although her re?cent actions were unlawful and bit dodgy, her father would be proud that she was a fighter.
???? A flash of baby blue rounded the corner, tires screeching. Charlene! The Cadillac pulled up to the curb. ?Good golly miss molly! I thought you would never get here,? a relieved Nora exclaimed.
???? ?Well, heck sister. I had my eyes so glued on that detailed map that I missed a damned turn with all the construction. Then, I was worried about rain, so I stopped to put the top up. God, I need a drink.?
???? ?No time for that, we have to get back on the road and back to Baton Rouge. Especially before we hit rush hour traffic.? At this point, it looked like they might just make it.
???? ?Nora Jean, I?m at least going through the Dairy Mart drive-thru to get a coke float. This girl?s gotta have some sugar. I?m plum nearly wore out.?
???? ?Here, move over. I?ll drive then. And yes, I?ll stop at Dairy Mart.?
???? ?So, how was it?? Charlene had to get all the de?tails.
???? ?Nerve wracking. I almost couldn?t land. But I made it. The plane is safely locked in the hangar.?

???? They hugged and gave a big ?yee-haw? out the windows of the Cadillac. Nora could breathe a sigh of relief. Now all that was left was to get back to her kids and call Frank. Devilish delight danced in her eyes as she imagined his face realizing his plane was gone.

Sony NEX 5R specs reportedly leaked ahead of tomorrow's launch

Sony NEX 5R specs reportedly leaked ahead of tomorrow's launch

Sony Alpha Rumors is claiming to have a big pile of specs for what's presumed to be the NEX-5R, so with a fistful of sodium chloride at the ready, here goes. The site believes the new mirrorless ILC will pack a 16.1-megapixel APS-C sensor, low-light sensitivity up to 25,600 and the same tiltable three-inch screen we saw in the NEX-F3. It's also saying that we can expect to see 99-point phase-detection and 25 contrast autofocus points, with 1920 x 1080 HD video recording at 60p and a battery that'll take 400 pictures on a single charge. If those facts have gotten your purchasing-fingers twitchy, we'll be at Sony's press conference tomorrow to find out all the gory details.

Short- and mid-term cardiovascular effects of Japan's 2011 earthquake and tsunami: Incidence rises with the seismic peak

ScienceDaily (Aug. 27, 2012) ? The Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011, which hit the north-east coast of Japan with a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale, was one of the largest ocean-trench earthquakes ever recorded in Japan. The tsunami caused huge damage, including 15,861 dead and 3018 missing persons, and, as of 6 June 2012, 388,783 destroyed homes.

Following an investigation of the ambulance records made by doctors in the Miyagi prefecture, close to the epicentre of the earthquake and where the damage was greatest, cardiologist Dr Hiroaki Shimokawa and colleagues from the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine at Sendai, Japan, found that the weekly occurrence of five conditions -- heart failure, acute coronary syndrome (including unstable angina and acute MI), stroke, cardio-pulmonary arrest and pneumonia -- all increased sharply soon after the earthquake occurred.

Such reactions -- in ACS, stroke and pulmonary embolism -- have been reported before, said Dr Shimokawa, in Japan, China and the USA. However, these studies reported only the short-term occurrence of individual CVD events, and the mid-term CVD effects of such great earthquakes remain to be elucidated. To this end, the study examined all ambulance transport records in the Miyagi prefecture from 11 February to 30 June for each year from 2008 to 2011 (ie, four weeks before to 16 weeks after 11 March, a total of 124,152 records). Incidence records from before, during and after the earthquake disaster were compared, the aftershocks counted and recorded according to a seismic intensity of 1 or greater.

The number of aftershocks in the Miyagi prefecture was frequent during the six weeks after the earthquake, and the second peak was noted as a large aftershock on 7 April 2011 (magnitude of 7.0). Compared with the previous three years, the significant increases in the occurrence of heart failure and pneumonia were steadily prolonged for more than six weeks after the tsunami struck. On the other hand, the incident increases in stroke and cardio-pulmonary arrest followed the pattern of the first and aftershock seismic peaks. The rapid increases in the occurrence of acute coronary syndromes and cardio-pulmonary arrest was followed by a sharp and significant decline. Interestingly, said Dr Shimokawa, age, sex or residence area did not significantly affect the occurrences of CVD during or following the tsunami.

"To the best of our knowledge," he added, "this is the first report to describe the mid-term course of major cardiovascular events and pneumonia after a great earthquake in a large population. In particular, our findings provide the first evidence that the incidence of heart failure was markedly increased over a long period afterwards." Prevalence of pneumonia, a well known risk factor for deteriorating heart failure, was significantly increased.

The Tohoku University study also found -- as reflected in self-monitoring measurements -- that blood pressure was significantly elevated after the Earthquake. However, transport disruption following the tsunami interrupted delivery of regular medications, such as antihypertensive or antithrombotic drugs, and this may have contributed to the increased cardiovascular events. There was also an increase in the occurrences of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators.

"Taken together," said Dr Shimokawa, "we consider that discontinuation of drugs, activated sympathetic nervous system, rising blood pressure, and the increased occurrence of tachyarrhythmia and infections were all involved in the increased occurrence of cardiovascular events after the Great Earthquake of Japan."

Poll: Romney faces headwinds in race against Obama

TAMPA, Florida (Reuters) - Mitt Romney enters Republican convention week facing serious challenges in his drive to unseat President Barack Obama in the November 6 election, with the Democrat outscoring him on eloquence and likability, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday.

But many factors weigh in the Republican's favor as he seeks a boost from his Tampa, Florida, convention. An overwhelming majority of Americans believe the U.S. economy is on the wrong track, the poll found.

The convention that will nominate Romney as the Republican candidate to face Obama begins in earnest on Tuesday. The former Massachusetts governor addresses thousands of delegates gathered for the event on Thursday.

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were ahead of Romney and running mate Paul Ryan by 46 percent to 42 percent, according to the online poll. The Obama team led the Republicans by 16 percentage points among independents, a key voting bloc that could tip the election in battleground states.

It was the first installment of a four-day rolling poll by Reuters/Ipsos which will measure and track attitudes during the Republican and Democratic conventions.

Other polls have shown Obama and Romney neck-and-neck and the Republican's campaign officials believe they are in good position to upset the Democrat in November given that Romney has withstood a barrage of negative attacks from Obama over the summer.

The poll found that Obama far outstrips Romney on who is more eloquent by 51 percent to 21 percent. Obama also gets higher likability numbers, with 54 percent to 26 percent finding him more likeable.

Forty-seven percent say he is "a good person," compared to 29 percent for Romney, and 48 percent said Obama would be "fun to meet in person," while 21 percent said that about Romney.

Romney is seeking to use his convention this week to improve his likability performance with several speakers expected to talk up his life and career as a family man, former businessman, and ex-governor.

The one trait where Romney leads by a large margin is "a man of faith" -- 40 percent for Romney against 28 percent for Obama.

The two candidates were within a few points of each other on "will protect American jobs," 36 percent for Obama against 33 percent for Romney. There were identical numbers on the question of who "can be effective in Washington."

A host of factors that arose in the poll should serve as warning signs for the president despite his advantages over the lesser-known Republican.

According to the poll, 75 percent believe the economy is on the wrong track, 83 percent believe the same of fuel and gasoline prices, and 79 percent think "your cost of living" is doing badly.

Both Biden and Ryan were viewed unfavorably by more voters than favorable.

Biden, who drew criticism for telling a crowd in former slave state Virginia that Romney wanted to "put y'all back in chains," was viewed favorably by 49 percent to 51 percent who see him unfavorably.

Ryan, whose proposed budget plan would lead to deep budget cuts and changes to the Medicare healthcare plan for seniors, was viewed favorably by 48 percent to 52 percent who viewed him unfavorably.

Personal Energy Orb Aruino project knows you haven't been exercising, cripples your computer

Spending too much time indoors? You need a Personal Energy Orb, a glowing Arduino powered ball that allows you to trade physical exertion for a tolerable mouse speed. Developed by two students at the University of Munich for a physical computing course, the PEO connects to a bike-mounted revolution counter to note how far a user rides, counting the total distance toward usable time on a computer. A fully "charged" green orb will allow a user to use their PC unhindered -- but a spent red orb will drag Windows' cursor sensitivity settings to its lowest. The idea, the project's creators say, is to annoy the user off of the computer and back on to their bike. It sure sounds aggravating to us. Check out the full homework assignment at the source link below, complete with goals, follies and Python scripts.

Liverpool, Manchester City draw

Associated Press Sports

updated 5:23 p.m. ET Aug. 26, 2012

LONDON (AP) - Manchester City twice came from behind to draw 2-2 against Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday with Carlos Tevez scoring a late equalizer.

Martin Skrtel headed Liverpool into a 1-0 lead at halftime, but Yaya Toure leveled for City on 63.

Luis Suarez restored Liverpool's lead three minutes later from a free kick but Skrtel then underhit a back pass toward Reina that Carlos Tevez latched on to, rounding the goalkeeper and slotting into an empty net.

At the Britannia Stadium, Stoke and Arsenal played out a scoreless draw where United States international Geoff Cameron made his debut for Stoke.

----

MADRID - Lionel Messi scored two late goals Sunday as Barcelona came from behind to win 2-1 at Osasuna in the Spanish league.

The hosts looked took the lead after Joseba Llorente's acrobatic 17th-minute goal and it wasn't until the 76th that Messi leveled, guiding Alexis Sanchez's short pass beyond goalkeeper Andres Fernandez.

Osasuna went down to 10 men when Francisco Punal was red carded for arguing the goal was offside.

Messi then latched on to Jordi Alba's cross in the 80th for the winner.

----

BERLIN - Hannover drew 2-2 against Schalke thanks to a late Adrian Nikci three minutes into his Bundesliga debut.

Brazilian defender Felipe opened the scoring in the 43rd minute for Hannover, before last season's leading scorer, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, drew the visitors level with a great individual effort in the 52nd.

Lewis Holtby put Schalke ahead 12 minutes later, only for Nikci - who had just replaced the injured Felipe - to score with his first touch of the ball with 10 minutes remaining.

On Friday, defending champion Borussia Dortmund opened the season with a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen, while Bayern Munich won 3-0 at promoted Greuther Fuerth the next day.

----

MILAN - Newly promoted Sampdoria stunned AC Milan 1-0 in its opening Serie A match on Andrea Costa's headed goal in the 60th minute.

Kevin-Prince Boateng almost rescued a point for Milan in stoppage time but his effort crashed off the right post.

Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini could also have scored in a frantic finale but his effort was cleared off the line by Sampdoria defender Daniele Gastaldello.

It was Milan's first game without star strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano as well as key defender Thiago Silva, who were all sold during the offseason.

----

PARIS - Defending champion Montpellier is still winless in the French league this season after Andre-Pierre Gignac's second-half goal gave Marseille a 1-0 win.

Saint-Etienne picked up its first points of the season by beating Brest 4-0. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice, either side of goals from Romain Hamouma and Josuha Guilavogui.

----

AMSTERDAM - FC Twente moved top of the Dutch league after beating NEC Nijmegen 3-1 for its third straight win of the season.

The victory left Steve McClaren's Twente as the only team in the Dutch top flight with a perfect record after three rounds.

United States striker Jozy Altidore hit the post but could not add to his league-leading tally of four goals in his first two matches as SC Heerenveen held his AZ Alkmaar side to a scoreless draw.

In other matches Sunday, Jonathan Reis scored both goals as Vitesse Arnhem beat Willem II Tilburg 2-0, Feyenoord won 2-1 at Heracles Almelo and PSV beat FC Groningen 3-1.

On Saturday, defending champion Ajax recorded its second big win of the season, beating NAC Breda 5-0 in Amsterdam.

----

GLASGOW - Rangers failed to clinch its first away win in the fourth tier of Scottish football after drawing at Berwick 1-1.

Rangers took the lead just before half time through Andy Little but Fraser McLaren leveled for Berwick in the 62nd minute at Shielfield Park with a tightly angled shot inside the penalty area.

Rangers, which was plunged into liquidation and forced into Division Three, has five points from three games including two away draws.

On Saturday, Celtic won at Inverness 4-2 in the Scottish Premier League, with Tony Watt scoring twice for the defending champion.
