[CROSSVILLE-CHRONICLE] While a nude female swimmer in his Camelot subidivision home's backyard pool had him distracted, the woman's accomplice was inside the victim's home stealing his personal property. Both made a clean getaway.
The incident took place last Saturday on Canterbury Lane around 3 p.m. at the home of a 54-year-old man who told police that a couple who live nearby approached his home when the woman suddenly told her husband to go back and retrieve her cigarettes, according to Ptl. Camden Davis' report.
The woman then approached the victim and asked him about his pool, and if she could take a swim. He told the woman it would be OK and led her to the rear of his house where the pool is located.
The woman then asked if it would bother him if she swam in the nude, and he replied that it would not. She proceeded to take off her clothes and jumped into the pool, swimming for about 20 minutes. The home owner retrieved a towel from inside his home, the woman dried off, dressed and left.
It was at that point he re-entered his home to discover that he had been robbed of a handgun, jewelry and medication. Loss was placed at $1,195, according to Davis' report.
Two suspects have been identified but have not been found by police for questioning. "I'm sorry, chief! I have no idea what she looks like with her clothes on!"

[THESMOKINGGUN] The Oklahoma woman who had a loaded handgun concealed in her vagina when she was arrested earlier this year on a drug charge has been sentenced to 25 years in state prison, according to court records. I'm not sure I can actually comment coherently on this one. It's gonna be tasteless, so you might want to stop reading now...
Christie Dawn Harris, 28, last week entered no contest pleas to three felony counts during a hearing in Pontotoc County District Court. "I confess. It was my gun. It was my twat."
Harris, whose rap sheet already includes multiple felony convictions, copped on June 27 to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, gun possession, and bringing contraband into jail. "Hi, there! Is that a gun in your underwear or are you just glad to see me?"
Judge Steven Kessinger sentenced Harris to serve 25 years on each count, with the penalties to run concurrently. That's 25 years for the rosco, and 25 years for the clam, but added together they only come out to 25 years.
He also ordered her to pay $1363 in court costs and fees. "Oh, all right! Here lemme get my dough!"
"You put those pants back on!"
Harris, seen in the adjacent mug shot, She's a sullen-looking wench. You wouldn't want to meet her in a dark Motel 6.
was arrested in March after a drug dog alerted to a vehicle in which she and another woman were seated (the car was parked outside a closed restaurant at 3:45 AM). "Aroo-o-o-o-o-o!"
"What is it, boy? What do you smell?"
"Arooo! Ruff! Ruff!"
"No kiddin'?"
"Ruff! Ruff!"
"Two of 'em? I'd better call for backup!"
A subsequent search of the Toyota Yaris turned up meth, drug paraphernalia, a .25 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and a loaded magazine. That's what just one of the Twins of Pleasure was sitting on.
While being transported to jail, Harris told a cop "several times that she needed to go to the bathroom," according to an Ada Police Department report. "Can we stop? I gotta pass a really hard one!"
During processing at the jail, Harris balked when directed to lower her underwear so that a female officer could check for contraband. She "advised that she was on her period and did not want to," cops noted. "Hey, Sylvia! Check out this tampon!"
After Harris complied with police, Officer Kathy Unbewust reported, "I observed at that time a wooden and metal item sticking out from her vagina area." Unbewust then "pulled the item from her vagina, and found it to be a 5 shot revolver with rounds in the chamber." "Well, well! What's this?"
"It's for personal use!"
Investigators subsequently identified the weapon as a Freedom Arms .22-caliber handgun, which was loaded with three live rounds and one spent shell. The police report notes that "gun located in suspect vagina." "One spent shell"? Y'mean she only thought it was that time of the month?

OK, I'll bite ( I am so gonna hate choosing those words), just WHAT IS a 'suspect vagina?'

I am forced to imagine the thing going off half-cocked. No, I can't imagine the mechanics -- I'm the one who knows nothing about guns, remember? -- nonetheless, the very idea makes me need to lie down with a handkerchief dipped in cologne soothing my fevered brow.

An Okie meth-slinger named Harris -
Not easy, I think, to embarrass -
Did boldly bear arms
In the midst of her charms... How'd her c**ter fit into a Yaris?!?
How did all that fit into a Yaris?

She...was...stuffed up with a 2 dollar pistol
She had meth hidden in her brown
Short and mean, every meth head's dream
She smoked everything in town
[An Nahar] Death Valley National Park has asked tourists not to test out the reputation of the world's hottest spot by frying eggs on the ground, citing a growing litter problem at the popular U.S. landmark.
"An employee's posting of frying an egg in a pan in Death Valley was intended to demonstrate how hot it can get here, with the recommendation that if you do this, use a pan or tin foil and properly dispose of the contents," the park said on its Facebook page last week.
"However, the Death Valley NP maintenance crew has been busy cleaning up eggs cracked directly on the sidewalk, including egg cartons and shells strewn across the parking lot.
"This is your national park, please put trash in the garbage or recycle bins provided and don't crack eggs on the sidewalks," it said.

[Al Ahram] Part of an ancient Egyptian king's unique sphinx was unveiled at a dig in northern Israel on Tuesday, with researchers struggling to understand just how the unexpected find ended up there. "Im-hotep!"
"Yes, Your Enormity!"
The broken granite sphinx statue -- including the paws and some of the mythical creature's forearms -- displayed at Tel Hazor archaeological site in Israel's Galilee, is the first such find in the region. "Those guys in Tel Hazor. You know, the ones with the beards and the goats?"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Its discovery also marks the first time ever that researchers have found a statue dedicated to Egyptian ruler Mycerinus who ruled circa 2,500 BC and was builder of one of the three Giza pyramids, an expert said. "Send them a sphinx!"
"Of course, Son of the Sun!"
"And tell me why I have a Roman name again."
"This is the only monumental Egyptian statue ever found in the Levant - today's Israel, Leb, Syria," Amnon Ben-Tor, an archaeology professor at the Hebrew University in charge of the Tel Hazor dig, told AFP. "Heh heh! If they dig that up five thousand years from now they're really gonna be puzzled!"
"Yes, Your Immensity!"
"It is also the only sphinx of this particular king known, not even in Egypt was a sphinx of that particular king found." "It will be a real thigh-smacker!"
"You got a real sense of humor there, O Beacon of Wisdom!"
Ben-Tor said that besides Mycerinus's name, carved in hieroglyphics between the forearms, there are symbols reading "beloved by the divine souls of Heliopolis". "Make sure you put my name on it, too, so they know who it's from!"
"Of course, Beloved of the Divine Souls of Heliopolis!"
"This is the temple in which the sphinx was originally placed," Ben-Tor said of Heliopolis, an ancient city which lies north of today's Cairo. "I've been wanting a new sphinx for the place."
"Good idea, O Vast One!"
Tel Hazor, which Ben-Tor calls "the most important archaeological site in this country," was the capital of southern Canaan, founded circa 2,700 BC and at its peak covering approximately 200 acres and home to some 20,000 Canaanites. It was destroyed in the 13th century BC.

Having a statue like that really sphinx up the place.
[NEWYORK.CBSLOCAL] There's some outrage in the parenting world about what could be the latest accessory for infants: Wigs.
Some babies have it and some don't, and there are some parents going to great lengths to make sure their baby has a full head of hair.
As CBS 2′s Emily Smith reported Tuesday, a company called baby-bangs.com makes that happen with wigs for infants. They come in an array of colors and styles to suit all different bald babies.
Online baby bloggers and other social media sites have taken issue with the accessory. Some local parents also had plenty to say about it.
"I don't feel like babies should be subjected to wearing wigs just yet. They're just babies," a mom told Smith.

Stupid is as stupid does, some babies have hair, and some don't, I'd rather hear whether or not the ones who have hair keep it into old age.
(I did, now 66 with a full head of hair, don't remember if I had hair as a baby?)

I for one was born with early Elvis side-burns.
After I retired from XXXXXX as a Standards Captain on the --400, I got a job as a simulator instructor working for XXXXXXX (a Boeing subsidiary) at Asiana. When I first got there, I was shocked and surprised by the lack of basic piloting skills shown by most of the pilots. It is not a normal situation with normal progression from new hire, right seat, left seat taking a decade or two. One big difference is that ex-Military pilots are given super-seniority and progress to the left seat much faster. Compared to the US, they also upgrade fairly rapidly because of the phenomenal growth by all Asian air carriers. By the way, after about six months at Asiana, I was moved over to KAL and found them to be identical. The only difference was the color of the uniforms and airplanes. I worked in Korea for 5 long years and although I found most of the people to be very pleasant, it's a minefield of a work environment ... for them and for us expats.
One of the first things I learned was that the pilots kept a web-site and reported on every training session. I don't think this was officially sanctioned by the company, but after one or two simulator periods, a database was building on me (and everyone else) that told them exactly how I ran the sessions, what to expect on checks, and what to look out for. For example; I used to open an aft cargo door at 100 knots to get them to initiate an RTO and I would brief them on it during the briefing. This was on the B-737 NG and many of the captains were coming off the 777 or B744 and they were used to the Master Caution System being inhibited at 80 kts. Well, for the first few days after I started that, EVERYONE rejected the takeoff. Then, all of a sudden they all "got it" and continued the takeoff (in accordance with their manuals). The word had gotten out. I figured it was an overall PLUS for the training program.
We expat instructors were forced upon them after the amount of fatal accidents (most of the them totally avoidable) over a decade began to be noticed by the outside world. They were basically given an ultimatum by the FAA, Transport Canada, and the EU to totally rebuild and rethink their training program or face being banned from the skies all over the world. They hired Boeing and Airbus to staff the training centers. KAL has one center and Asiana has another. When I was there (XXXX-XXXX) we had about 60 expats conducting training KAL and about 40 at Asiana. Most instructors were from the USA, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand with a few stuffed in from Europe and Asia. Boeing also operated training centers in Singapore and China so they did hire some instructors from there.

I remember reading years ago that the "visual" approach to San Francisco was nasty because you were coming in over water and the end of the runaway was right up to the water. When if first opened up inexperienced pilots would misjudge their altitude and speed since they were used to getting altitude and speed references consciously or not, off of land features. The ocean would fool them. The thing is that danger became pretty well known and documented so the pilot shouldn't have been caught by it.
#5
I lived along the flight path to SFO most of my life. There are electronic buoys? on the ground all the way down the peninsula. The area before the runway allows for a nice slow decent and the runways are long. As long as you don't drop in early (as a JAL pilot did in the 70s) it should be a very easy landing.
San Diego airport is worse as you come over buildings and the I-5 before landing (another problem in the 70s over that).
But those are cake compared to that nightmare airport they had in Hong Kong. Watching folks hanging their laundry on the roofs and balconies just off the end of the wing and then a hard right around the last building and a quick drop to the tarmac. Even knowing it was coming that was unpleasant.
#6
Well some further testimony has come out and it seems they were using or at least eyeballing the glide path indicator lights on the end of the runway. If you are on the path you are supposed to see two white and two red. The instructor pilot reported seeing all red, which is too low. Also reported was that the auto correct speed control was not maintaining a high enough speed it would keep dropping the speed setting. The NTSB is starting to give those pilots the hair eyeball. They seem to indicate the pilots had enough time and were aware of the problems but either didn't react or kept their mouths shut. It doesn't look good for them or the airline.
I remember back in the day taking flight lessons on a Cessna 140 tail dragger. I became unemployed and ran out of money before I could complete even 8 hours. I do remember that the instructor introduced me to cross wind landing early. In fact I have a vivid memory about bring in the plane during the late summer morning when you get an updraft off the Texas flat lands and having a cross wind to deal with. You had to compensate for both. If I remember correctly it was use the rudder to compensate for cross wind then drop the leading wing down to increase descent against the updraft then get straight and lift the nose and cut the throttle for landing. As the flight instructor says general aviation in the US gets you to thinking for yourself....or you'll prang it.

We had a similar situation with a certain Southeast Asian navy and their simulator training. Their sailors and officers essentially did the same thing as the pilots in gaming the scenarios.
Our one pickup team went up against three of their top crews in a simulated battle and cleaned their clocks. Their ANZUS instructors were not happy.

I am sure that SFO had a PAPI approach lighting system. There is information on the system HERE.
Two pairs of red lights next to two pairs of white lights bring you down to the touch down zone on a precision approach. So when you land visual you set yourself up on altitude versus distance. This is basic stick and rudder stuff that applies to a Super Cub or a B-747.
On instrument approaches, you do a series of step down altitude changes, then you fly level where you intercept the glide slope (usually 3 degrees). Then you manually fly down the glide slope, or you couple on to it with your autopilot.
So many heavy pilots are used to this technique and don't practice stick and rudder, so if the ILS winks out, they are SOL. My uneducated guess is that is what happened here.
One of the more interesting landings I did was at Granite Mountain White Alice site east of Nome. That strip was on a mountainside, with a 10% grade, so that the visual illusion of landing there would make you approach low if you were not aware of the grade. Flying a pattern normally could make you be on final approach and be short of the runway, where you would need lots of power to make the threshold and not land short. The answer was to plan your approach and be at specific altitudes so that your touchdown would be in the right place and not short. It is all in the preflight planning, which a pilot is required to do before a flight. Part 91 of the Federal Air Regulations spells it out quite clearly:
§ 91.103 Preflight action.
Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight. This information must include
(a) For a flight under IFR or a flight not in the vicinity of an airport, weather reports and forecasts, fuel requirements, alternatives available if the planned flight cannot be completed, and any known traffic delays of which the pilot in command has been advised by ATC;
(b) For any flight, runway lengths at airports of intended use, and the following takeoff and landing distance information:
(1) For civil aircraft for which an approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual containing takeoff and landing distance data is required, the takeoff and landing distance data contained therein; and
(2) For civil aircraft other than those specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, other reliable information appropriate to the aircraft, relating to aircraft performance under expected values of airport elevation and runway slope, aircraft gross weight, and wind and temperature.

[An Nahar] Around 100 African migrants stormed a border fence from Morocco into Spanish territory on Tuesday, leaving five coppers injured, Spanish authorities said.
Officials said about 40 of the migrants managed to cross the fence separating the Spanish enclave of Melilla from Morocco on the Mediterranean coast, in the latest in a wave of such attempts.
The migrants stormed a section of the six-meter (20-foot) fence near the airport in Melilla on Tuesday morning, Spanish government officials there said in a statement.
"The immigrants were grouped in a grove of trees on the Moroccan side and carried out a massive coordinated assault which the Civil Guard managed to partially abort," the statement said.
"In their efforts to defend the border fence, five civil guards were maimed, none of them seriously for the moment."

[An Nahar] Ministers from the Istiqlal party quit Morocco's Islamist-led ruling coalition on Tuesday, a front man for the conservative party told Agence La Belle France Presse, threatening a government shakeup or snap elections.
"It's official, our ministers have just presented their resignation to the head of the government (Abdelilah Benkirane)," Istiqlal front man Adil Benhamza said.
Of the six ministers from the party, only one, Education Minister Mohammed El-Ouafa, had yet to present his resignation by Tuesday evening.
Benhamza said that if he failed to do so within 24 hours, "he will be excluded" from the party.
Istiqlal's national council first threatened in May to quit the government over its failure to shore up the economy and solve pressing social problems.
Istiqlal held several ministerial posts, including education and the economy, and its withdrawal will force the moderate Islamist Party of Justice and Development (PJD) to find a new coalition partner or face early elections.
The PJD has led the government since it emerged as the largest party after elections in late 2011.

Behind Wal-Mart, the second-largest employer in America is Kelly Services, a temporary work provider.
Friday's disappointing jobs report showed that part-time jobs are at an all-time high, with 28 million Americans now working part-time. The report also showed another disturbing fact: There are now a record number of Americans with temporary jobs.
Approximately 2.7 million, in fact. And the trend has been growing.
The Social Security Administration knows, by payroll deduction, the number of people actually working. Correlate that with the Census date of work age adults and we know the real number on employment.
