August 01 Out in ManitobaYesterday brother Matt took me for a "crash course in aviation (no pun, no pun at all!) He told me to taxi to the end of the runway and instructed me how to take off ( a little nervous). I flew up to 4200 ft turning south for a while and the back north. Matt told me how to maneuver a 45 degree turn, about the trim, and some of the instruments. Then he started talking like I was going to land the plane (really nervous) and I handed control back to him.
At this point he hands me a little white bag (which i almost needed), and proceeds stall the little plane causing so much negitive G's the pencil that was forgotten on the floor floated up past my head. After ten minutes of stalls 90 degree turns and spins (those are fun), Matt says to me "well I would have been pukeing my brains out by now if it was my first time." (Nice!)
Back on the ground (glad) other than feeling a little pale./.:.\. June 24 Counts report for bferd
Thailand?? ...cool Tiananmen Square 1989 ~.:./ I Remember \.:.~The incident is named after the location of the movement in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. The protestors came from disparate groups, ranging from intellectuals who believed the Communist Party of China-led government was too corrupt and repressive, to urban workers who believed Chinese economic reform had gone too far and that the resulting rampant inflation and widespread unemployment was threatening their livelihoods. After the protestors defied government calls to disperse, a split emerged within the Communist Party of China on how to respond to the protestors. Out of the party turmoil, a hardline faction emerged and the decision was made to quell the protests, rather than to heed their demands. On May 20 the government declared martial law and on the night of June 3 and the early morning of June 4, army tanks and infantry were sent into Tiananmen Square to crush the protest and disperse the protestors. Estimates of civilian deaths vary: 23 (Communist Party of China), 400-800 (Central Intelligence Agency), 2600 (Chinese Red Cross). Injuries are generally held to have numbered from 7,000 to 10,000. Following the violence, the government conducted widespread arrests to suppress the remaining supporters of the movement, banned the foreign press and strictly controlled coverage of the events in the Chinese press. The violent suppression of the Tiananmen Square protest caused widespread international condemnation of the PRC government.[1] In Chinese, the incident is most commonly known as the June Fourth Movement. The latter is in conformity with the other two great protest actions that occurred on Tiananmen Square: the May Fourth Movement of 1919, and the April Fifth Movement of 1976. February 06 My Brain's Pattern***My Brain's Pattern***
Structured and organized, you have a knack for thinking clearly. You are very logical - and you don't let your thoughts get polluted with emotions. And while your thoughts are pretty serious, they're anything from boring. It's minds like yours that have built the great cities of the world! January 14 I knew it!!I’ve suspected this for a while now, but I didn’t want to bring it up for fear of being ridiculed for my suspicions. However I have found a valid source of information regarding the subject solidifying my beliefs.
