Kirk John

If you see either of these two license plates you will know the vehicle belongs to Leedom Kirk John, or L. Kirk John as he is better known. Mr. John flew the P-51D Mustang in WWII and became a combat ace while flying with the 338th Fighter Squadron, 55th Fighter Group, 8th Air Force.

Kirk is married to a great gal, Linda. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to these two wonderful people. They are both as real as it gets. I would be remiss not to thank my good buddy, Horace Sagnor, for helping to set up this interview. Enjoy.

MAH: Have you been in this area (Coatesville, PA) all your life?

Kirk John: I was born on Harmony Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenue and I’ve lived in the Coatesville area all my life. We built this house in 1950 so we’ve been here for 57 years. We raised our family here.

MAH: What was life like growing up in Coatesville?

Kirk John: Well, I had quite a career with the YMCA. I joined when I was eight years old to go to Camp Chesapeake. I fell in love with Chesapeake and the Y. I’ve belonged to the Y now for eighty years. That’s eighty consecutive years. They gave me four memberships when I was in the service for four years. So, I spent a lot of time at the Y. I was always interested in sports. I was a three-letter man in high school. We used to take the kids down there (Coatesville) and walk around. My son would say, ‘Dad, you know everybody’. Now I walk around Coatesville and don’t know anybody.

MAH: You were also a welder before the war?

Kirk John: I was a welder. I was welding the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a day shift I was on and they called us all to the center there where they post the jobs and told us what happened. And we listened on the radio and heard what was going on out there. Of course, that was December ’41 and I went in the service in September ’42. I had a deferment because I was a Navy-certified First Class welder working on submarine engines so I could have stayed there (at Lukens Steel), but I wanted to go into the Air Force. I always wanted to be a pilot. I always wanted to go to West Point. I didn’t get to go to the Point, but I got to fly the best - the Mustang.

MAH: So you’ve always been interested in aviation even as a young kid in Coatesville?

Kirk John: Back when I was little there weren’t very many airplanes. We lived at the top of Eleventh Avenue and when an airplane went over I’d liked to knock the door down to see it. I remember the day when Lindberg flew over our house and he landed on what is now Lone Eagle Road.

MAH: I never heard this story.

Kirk John: Well, he was looking for the Coatesville Airport and he saw a beacon on top of the hill where West Bradford School is today. He thought that was the airport. Since he was running out of fuel he landed on the road next to the beacon. That road was renamed Lone Eagle Road in honor of Lindberg’s landing there. My dad and I went out to see the plane. We never saw Lindberg but we did see his plane. Of course this was after he had already become famous from crossing the Atlantic. I think I was around eight at the time.

MAH: That is a great story. Any more aviation stories from your childhood?

Kirk John: I remember going up to the old Coatesville airport when it used to be on the north side of Lincoln Highway. They started a mail route and I used to go up and watch them grab the bag between the posts. One time I went up there with my Mom and Dad. I remember I was eight and I weighed 47 pounds. They didn’t want to go on a plane but they put me on a Ford Tri-motor and I went out over Lukens and back again for a penny a pound.

MAH: A 47-cent airfare. Such a deal.

Kirk John: It was great. That was my first flight.

MAH: What kind of planes did you fly when you were training?

Kirk John: A Stearman as the primary and a Vultee Vibrator as basic (the Vultee BT-13 Valiant was nicknamed the Vibrator by student pilots). Then I flew the AT-6 Texan in advanced training and the P-40 Warhawk in operational training. Never got close to a Mustang until I got to England, but when I saw my first one up close, I fell in love with it.

MAH: Ever see a two-seater?

Kirk John: I didn’t see one until the war was over when they sent us to Germany with the occupational Air Force. We had a couple of two-seaters to fly guys who were going stateside up to Holland or Belgium to catch a ship to cross the Atlantic. One time I flew up to Hamburg to pick up a black officer. She was a big stout lady. We couldn’t get the parachute on her back so we put it on her lap and quick closed the canopy. We got down to Kaufbeuren and it’s right near the Alps and she said, ‘Oh, can we fly through the Alps’. I said sure and we took a few passes through the Alps. When I got to the base I did a fighter peel-off to cut my airspeed down and the lady passed out. She didn’t come to until after we landed. The funny thing is she never got sick. She told me she had a grand time.

MAH: How did you feel when you got your orders?

Kirk John: I had no idea where I was going. I said goodbye to her (Linda) at the railway station and took a train down to Punta Gorda for operational training. Then I got orders, came right back up to New Jersey and spent a few days getting ready to pull out for Europe. I wasn’t allowed to make phone calls or let anybody know where I was going. We boarded the Queen Mary at 2AM and tug boats pulled us out with no fanfare, no nothing. Because they did not want anyone to know who was on board, we had to stay below deck, so we didn’t even get to see the Statue of Liberty. We could not go above deck until we were well out to sea.

MAH: Did you get seasick at all?

Kirk John: Never. Took us five days to get over there, but coming home they put us on a liberty ship. That took eighteen days. Many guys on that cruise, as bumpy as it was, lost their meals, but I didn’t.

MAH: What was it like when you first arrived at Wormingford?

Kirk John: When I first got there they took me to a Nissen hut where there were four empty beds and said, “Take your choice. We lost four last week.”

MAH: Did that bother you at all?

Kirk John: No, not really. It’s a part of war.

MAH: I did a little research on your plane and discovered that another pilot flew it besides you. Do you remember a Captain Haworth?

Kirk John: Yes, I do. Russell Haworth was also an ace.

MAH: When he flew that plane it was called ‘Krazy Kid’ was it not?

Kirk John: Yes, it was. He went home for R&R and I got his plane.

MAH: How does that work, renaming a plane? Do you say I want to rename this plane such and such?

Kirk John: You didn’t say anything. I flew it as ‘Krazy Kid’ until I got shot down. Then I got a new Mustang and named it Ornery. Another pilot flew that one and was shot down and killed so they gave me another plane and I named ‘Ornery II, Teacher’s Pet’.

MAH: You flew 47 missions?

Kirk John: Forty seven missions, 334 hours. Of the 47 missions, 45 were escorting the bombers, and only two were strictly bombing runs and that was during the Battle of the Bulge. For two consecutive days, we bombed bridges so the Germans could not use them and be re-supplied.

MAH: The 55th Fighter Group also had P-38s?

Kirk John: They did. All three squadrons had them from D-Day until September when they went to all Mustangs.

MAH: How many times were you shot down?

Kirk John: Just once. That was enough. I was a relatively new combat pilot and on my fourth mission, flying my squadron commander’s wing. We had taken the bombers into their target area, and picked them up on their way back. Along the way we shot up some railroad trains.

As we were flying back to our home base in England, flying into the sun, somebody yelled, ‘Bogeys at 4:30, low’. We were at 18,000 feet. I looked back behind my starboard wing and couldn’t see the planes but I could see shadows of the planes on the ground. Our commander was Elwyn Reghetti.

Reghetti said ‘prepare to battles’ and gave me a two second interval. He rolled over and went down and I rolled over and went down. Then the element leader and his wing man went down, so all four of us went down. We went in behind what turned out to be sixteen FW-190s, four flights of four. And they didn’t even know we were there until we were shooting them.

We jumped on them and got them real easy. But we were going so fast, over 500mph, that we didn’t want to fly out in front of them so we did high wing-overs to cut down our power. By that time there were two way out in front of us, one to the left, one to the right. Reghetti decided to take the one to the left and my job was to protect his tail so I got in behind him.

We chased this 190 down to tree top level and the turns were tight, real tight. Reghetti fired a few bursts at him. The German knew he was going to get it so he went into a tight turn and stalled. He went into the ground and burst into flames. We doubled back to get photos. So Reghetti got two and all together we got five that day. That was my first combat and everything happened inside three minutes.

MAH: All during that time are you talking to each other on the radio? Or is that strictly stuff you see in the movies?

Kirk John: No. The last thing our commander said was, ‘Prepare to battles’. That’s it.

MAH: Any other missions that come to mind?

Kirk John: The next mission that stands out was my tenth one on January 7, 1945 - the day I got shot down. We escorted the bombers to their target like we always did and we found targets of opportunity. One of those targets for us was an airfield in the Ruhr Valley.

When we went in over the airfield there was a Focke-Wulf 190 ready to take off about a thousand feet out in front of me. I fired and I hit him real good right where the wing went into the fuselage. I kept the same course and as I approached the downed 190, he blew up.

The explosion lifted me up on my port wing and I was afraid I was going to cartwheel. That’s when I called on the Lord for help and we got the aircraft straightened out. Now I’m heading straight for a German hangar. I fired at two stripped-down 190s in the hangar and almost didn’t pull up in time, just missing the top of the hangar. Then I got out over some woods and that’s when my trouble really started.

I knew it was the Holy Spirit that told me to look down so I looked down and saw a German gun emplacement up in the treetops with three Germans kneeling by it. It was too late to get a shot at them. As I flew by I saw them scramble to the gun and I knew they were out to fire on me. So I turned my tail to them and I fishtailed down through the woods but they got me anyway. Oil came back on my windscreen. I couldn’t see a thing.

I’m down at treetop level and I needed 5,000 feet to bail out so I prayed that I could get up to altitude. Turning west, I managed to get up to 5,000 feet, yet I was afraid to bail out, so I figured I’d stay with it until the engine quit and then I’ll bail out. For 12 minutes I flew at 5,000 feet. When the engine started to sputter I was still afraid to bail out, so I found a field to land with at least eight inches of snow on it. That was enough of a cushion for a belly landing so I kept my wheels up. For fear of catching on fire, I immediately jumped out of the cockpit.

On the edge of the field stood three people, so I started walking towards them and they all disappeared. I walked back to my Mustang, took off my parachute, my Mae West (type B-4 life jacket), and the rest of my gear and tossed it all into the cockpit. When I turned around, where there once were three people, now there was one figure. As I cautiously approached the silhouette, I soon realized it was a young girl about fourteen years old. She understood me when I uttered, “Americana”.

“Where are Germans”, I continued.

When she said, “Twenty kilometers”, I realized I was twenty miles from the Battle of the Bulge line.

MAH: So you flew 5,000 feet over the Battle of the Bulge.

Kirk John: Yep.

MAH: The Good Lord was with you.

Kirk John: Amen.

MAH: What happened after you talked to the girl?

Kirk John: Soon, a man came along driving a horse and wagon full of what looked like beer barrels. He took me about two miles and dropped me off on an autobahn. About an hour later a GI truck came by, picked me up and took me to a Ninth Air Force base. By then the Ninth had advanced into Germany, but we were in Belgium near Brussels.

MAH: That is incredible.

Kirk John: On another mission I found myself alone over Germany. I was shot up pretty bad. My radio was out. I came to a coastline but I didn’t know what coast it was. Was it the British Isles out in front of me? Am I above it, below it…..what? My fuel gauge told me I had about an hour or and an hour and a half of fuel left so I figured I’d fly for a half hour over this body of water, and if I don’t see land I’d turn around and come back. As the half hour elapsed no land was in sight so I turned around. When I approached the coast I decided it would be safer to head south. After passing two airfields that were severely cratered I found one I could land on, still not knowing where I was. I found out I was in Bordeaux, France.

That night I slept in a bombed-out chateaux that had a wall missing on the west end. There was a big fireplace on the east end of it. I spent all night in front of that fireplace drinking tea from a metal cup. Other people were in there but I didn’t know any of them. Next day, I told a young lady that I needed 150 gallons of high octane gasoline and she said okay. She left but came back with others….and gasoline, but it was regular. I didn’t know if a Mustang would run on regular grade, but I figured what the heck. Turns out it ran fine. I took off, flew up the coast, found Calais, crossed the Channel and back to my home base at Wormingford in England.

MAH: I guess you were always crossing the Channel.

Kirk John: A lot of our missions took us out to the North Sea and around to Norway and Sweden. One time we went in and hit Hamburg. There were submarines docked and we fired API (Armor Piercing Incendiary) bullets at them right at the waterline. We figured that way they would sink. We made three of four passes. That was a lot of fun with no one shooting back at ‘ya.

MAH: What was housing like at your Wormingford base.

Kirk John: We were in Nissen huts, ten to a hut.

MAH: All pilots?

Kirk John: Yeah. In the morning we would hear the B-17s above us with their engines droning. They would take off at 5AM. We would get up about 6:30, have breakfast, get briefed and be on our way. The B-17s would cruise at about 190(mph) and we would cruise at about 325 so it didn’t take us long to catch up with them.

MAH: How was chow?

Kirk John: No complaints, either at Wormingford or in Germany. At Kaufbeuren, German women would come in and make our beds and cook for us. They treated us great. It was beautiful country, about five miles from the Alps. I had no problems with the Germans. I would rather have been fighting the Japanese. They were the ones who attacked us and they were the ones I was mad at. But, you go where they send you.

MAH: What was it like in occupational Germany?

Kirk John: I was a flight leader then Operations Officer. One day I scheduled two guys to go up to fly instruments. One was supposed to go under the hood and the other one was a safety pilot. Then they were supposed to change roles.

Well, they got to fooling around up there and had a mid-air collision. One pilot was killed. Because of the crash I was confined to quarters until the Commanding Officer of the wing came down and I was exonerated.

At the time I was up for my captaincy. I never got it and I think that incident kept me from getting it. When it was time for me to go home, the higher-ups said, “Oh, stay and you’ll get your captain’s bars and soon you’ll fly jets. But I wanted no part of it. I wanted to go home and get married.

Linda: Yes, I’m the reason he didn’t get his captaincy.

MAH: I’d say he made the right choice.

Kirk John: We’ve got 61 years.

MAH: God bless you two.

Kirk John: We were at a 55th FG reunion up at State College (PA) and there seven of us gathered around the table and one pilot said, “You know pilots have good eyes. Take a look at the women around the table.”

MAH: You’re an ace obviously. There were many aces who did not come back. In my mind they are all heroes.

Kirk John: Take my squadron commander, Elwyn Reghetti. He got shot down the day before the war ended. Reghetti got on the radio and said, “I think I broke my nose, but I’m all right. You guys keep on going.” Those were his last words. Civilians got a hold of him and hung him.

MAH: How much leeway were you given in picking out targets of opportunity?

Kirk John: We were pretty much on our own. If we were flight leader we could take off and go with our wing man and if we were a wing man we had to stay with our element leader. Other than that we had free reign. Over a 2-1/2 month period we had taken out 940 German locomotives. Toward the end of the war the Germans began putting anti-aircraft guns on boxcars. As we would make a pass on the locomotive, the walls of the third boxcar would drop down and the gun started firing at us. According to the Eighth Air Force, we lost four times as many pilots during strafing runs as we did in aerial combat. On one such run at a train I lost a wing man and an element leader.

I always liked going for the engineer’s compartment first and then the boiler. When you hit the boiler you know you hit it because all the steam would shoot out. On one particular run I saw the engineer jump out and roll down a hillside before I even opened fire. He was like, ‘Take my engine; I’m getting out of here’.

MAH: Ever run out of ammunition.

Kirk John: Never. And I never had a misfire. When I squeezed that trigger all six guns fired.

MAH: Do you keep in touch with those you flew with?

Kirk John: I did but they are pretty much all gone now.

MAH: Is it true that you chased a Me-262?

Kirk John: Yes, I did. It was toward the end of the war. This 262 came in front of me attacking a bomber. He got the bomber and went past my wind screen. I fired a few shots then tried to go after him. I had my Mustang up to 620mph and the thing started shaking so I had to back off. That was my one encounter with a 262. The only time you could down one was when they were taking off or landing.

MAH: After the war you flew in the reserves?

Kirk John: I did. I flew in the reserves for 2-1/2 years. I got out in January ’46 and we got married in June ’46. I flew until June ’48 when my son was born and then I quit flying.

MAH: Did you fly the Mustang in the reserves?

Kirk John: No, I flew AT-6s.

MAH: You had no interest in commercial aviation after the reserves?

Kirk John: I went and got my commercial license but I never tried to get into flying commercial. One guy did offer me a job. He wanted me to go to Florida and haul produce for him but I didn’t want to do it so I didn’t.

MAH: After the war you went into insurance.

Kirk John: Well, I went back to doing welding at Lukens for a year and a half. Actually, when I first got out, I went to Kutztown University for a semester on the GI Bill. I did really well, but I was going to get married so I pursued it no further. Then I had this chance to go with Prudential so I became an agent.

MAH: Did you enjoy that?

Kirk John: I was with them 31 years. The first 15 I enjoyed it, but after that it kept getting worse and worse. They kept pushing you for more business and more business. And I did well with them. I attended many of their big conferences in places like Miami, Florida.

MAH: There are a few points I want to touch on and you don’t have to answer them. The first has to do with the period leading up to WWII. Most people in the US did not want another war like WWI. We were mostly an isolationist country. Were you aware of what was happening in Europe prior to December 1941?

Kirk John: I was interested in WWI because I had two uncles who were in the Legion drum and bugle corps here in Coatesville. And they would have parades and I would follow along with the buglers. In fact I played bugle when I went to Camp Chesapeake. I wanted a bugle for Christmas and I got one and learned to play it. I couldn’t read music but I could play the bugle. And there was at least six, seven, eight times I was called out of school to play taps at the graveyard service of WWI veterans. So I was interested in WWI and the aviation part of it. I knew about Rickenbacker. MAH: After WWII came the Korean War. You obviously owed your country nothing. Did you have any interest in going over there?

Kirk John: After I got out of the reserves I was glad I was out of there. I did not want to go over there (Korea).

MAH: How did you feel about the Korean War.

Kirk John: You may not agree with me but I didn’t think we should have gotten into any of those wars over there…..Korea, Vietnam, the one we’re in now. I don’t believe in isolationism but I don’t believe we should go to war with these countries to stop them from killing each other. If they want to kill each other, let them go ahead and do it. I support our President. I think he’s a Christian man at heart, but he has made some bad decisions.

Tapestry of Tears, Part 11

Previously, on MinerBumping... Vaughn Law once again took up the mantle of Lahnius after being decisively defeated in an argument with various members of the mighty CODE. alliance. Lahnius went to the Nakugard system, hoping to put a stop to Agent Alt 00's miner ganking operations. However, Lahnius soon found himself wardecced by a third party.

To Lahnius' amazement, he was wardecced by Failed Diplomacy corporation for supposedly being hired by CODE. Failed Diplomacy hated CODE. almost as much as Lahnius did. But instead of working together, they found themselves at war.

Lahnius, in turn, accused Failed Diplomacy corp of being hired by Alt 00. The Agent herself was in local to witness the proceedings.

CODE.'s sworn enemies were each convinced that the other was CODE. It was as if the Anti-Ganking channel's paranoia was bleeding into Nakugard local.

Lahnius was frustrated by this turn of events. He'd planned to launch a full-scale attack against Alt 00. As long as Failed Diplomacy had him wardecced, though, his attention would remain focused elsewhere. The confusion and bad intel couldn't have come at a worse time.

Seeing her two enemies at war, Alt 00 could only offer to play the role of honourable third party.

The two rebels ignored Alt 00. They were so obnoxious that they temporarily put aside their hatred of CODE.

Though the war with Failed Diplomacy interfered with Lahnius' jihad against Alt 00, he was pretty sure he could handle them. Aitillies fought to defend his corp's honour.

Even so, Lahnius temporarily found himself camped in a station. This left Alt 00 free to gank at will--which, admittedly, was how things always were in Nakugard.

Alt 00 was satisfied that she was winning the war. And, since she knew Lahnius had a tendency to engage in marathon arguments, she decided she'd better get something from the concession stand.

Failed Diplomacy and UNRealGUNS (Lahnius' corporation) proved to be a good match. Aitillies was almost as stubborn as Mr. "Hardcore AG" himself.

On the bright side, at least Aitillies wasn't inviting Lahnius to join him on TeamSpeak.

Failed Diplomacy issued a public announcement to the miners of Nakugard: Help was on the way. No longer would they need to fear being ganked by Lahnius' corporation. The only catch was that they couldn't do anything about CODE. because of our "fluidity".

Suddenly, an unsettling thought occurred to Lahnius. What if Alt 00 was playing the two anti-Code rebels against each other?

To be continued...

  1. wow, just wow ... I wonder if they know they're supposed to have fun in EvE?

  2. Someone teach that mofo how to spell sense.

    Jeezus what a bunch of highsec shitters, you can't tell 'em apart.

    That's the kind of shitters that hide in highsec lulz!

    Now where did I leave mah leesh?

  3. "Alt 00 21, 2018 at 12:09 AM
    It is neither glitch, nor exploit. Fortuitously Alt 00, in her infinite compassion, is willing to teach you how to execute this manoeuvre."

    Damm, did I miss it? XD

    Someone should teach me about paragraphs.

    Did you see how fast I registered my alt account?

    Folded like a little Miss.

  4. Oh, and lahnius is second stupidest shitter in highsec, just behind grand design.

    Get it, just 'behind'

  5. "This left Alt 00 free to gank at will--which, admittedly, was how things always were in Nakugard."

    ag and mercs in system and they have absolutely ZERO impact on ganking activities.

    That's so sad, especially considering how alt00 is just a highsec miners "pvp" account and basically unable to do anything except gank miners, barely.

    Oh well, shitter's gonna shit.

  6. I sometimes wonder what life would be like if I dropped 50 IQ points, then I see Lahnius' dribble in local and realise that it wouldn't be all bliss.

  7. Lol I had almost forgotten about mr. "hardcore ag".

    Holy shit that makes me laugh.

    So how do you 'hardcore' spectate while gankers blap the shit outa everything in sight?

    Does that mean he's gonna cry extra hard when he is unable to do anything to stop a gank?

  8. Meh seems made up

  9. Lahnius stoops to attacking his opponent's spelling while hiding in a station. LOL

  10. I’m really impressed with your article, such great & useful knowledge you mentioned here

[mkgmap-dev] Route Calculation Error and Ferries

From Gerd Petermann gpetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Tue Mar 13 14:46:41 GMT 2018

Hi Ticker,

I think what Andrzej wants to point out is that Garmins routing algo is quite special.
When looking for a possible route it tries to reach a road with a high class. Once  this is found
it will ignore roads with lower class if this is the only connection to the ferry (which also should be
a high class, default style uses 3). I think this search is done from start and target.
So, if a class=3 road takes you close to the ferry terminal but not onto the ferry you might see these
problems when your route includes the class=3 road.
I wonder if this also happens for pedestrian routing, but for cars I've often seen that.

Betreff: Re: [mkgmap-dev] Route Calculation Error and Ferries

Hi Andrzej

No - I checked all of this. A couple of ferries wouldn't route to/from
the public highway network because of this (access=destination), but
one didn't have this tagging on its service roads and Basecamp would
route using the ferry as long as the start and end points (on public
roads) were close to the ferry terminals, but trying to start/end
further away,  still on connected public roads, it wouldn't route.

3 Cheers for Netflix

As mentioned, I bought this stock a few weeks ago when Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy - and only for that reason. Netflix (NFLX) rose 13% today. Not this week. TODAY!  All I can say is wow. Didn't see that coming, but happy I was standing in front of the train when it did.  Coincidently, their website went down today too.  What caused the gain?  They had 3rd quarter earnings rise 26%. Still, that's crazy. But I'm glad to be on that side of crazy.  Still keeping my eye on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They're up to $.40/share each, but I don't think they're going to stay there long. I see $.30/share in their futures.  When/if they get back down there, I'll consider buying them again.  Why? Because they are still backed by the government and they recently sold at $60/share.  As The Terminator said, they'll be back....

Just call me butter...

'cause I'm on a roll. Seriously, my portfolio's doing great at the moment. I have to seriously look at taking some profits off the table.

I came across this USAToday article today about the risk and reward of investing in a stock, specifically Apple.  With all do respect to the author, I just don't think all of this is necessary.  They talk about the compounded rate of return, "Apple's trading history back to 1984, we see the company generated an average annual compound rate of return of 31.7%".  That's all well and good, but right above that the article says "Shares of the company are up 49% this year,".  That to me is more important than what they were doing back in 1984. I've been a follower of Apple since about 1990.  They were a totally different company in 1990 and 1984. Steve Jobs was there, then he left, now he's back. I don't see the value in tracking what they did the last 25 years.  Let me move on.

The article says "To get that much better return, you had to take a lot of risk. You accepted risk — standard deviation — of 69 percentage points. So, by investing in Apple, you took on 341% more risk to get a 213% higher return."  I don't even know what they're talking about. "Measure the stock's discounted cash flow." Again, huh? Apple had a butt kicking quarter - again - and they've got about $40 billion in the bank. Next.

"Compare the stock's current valuation to its historical range. BetterInvesting's Stock Selection Guide can help. If the company can increase earnings more than 18.1% a year the next five years, as analysts expect, that would put the stock in the "buy" range. " Um, they just rolled out a new Macbook Air, they have Mac OS X Lion coming out next summer, the iPhone may be rolling over to a new provider in the states come Christmas, the iPad is running out of stores... Need I say more?

Finally, the article says " An old adage on Wall Street is that the crowd is usually wrong. But Apple continues to disprove just about every tenet of investing, as the crowd has been continuously right on this one." Sooo, all the stuff you wrote in the article is bullpucky?  Again, I think the only people who are worried about measuring risk, compound rate of return and increased earnings over the next 5 years are "the experts". My portfolio is up 49% since last year and over 100% the last 2 months. And I have no clue what the 25 year chart looks like for anything I own.  'nuff said

Blockbuster Busted...

Last week Blockbuster, after months (maybe years) of speculation, filed for bankruptcy protection. I had a buddy who managed a local branch and years ago he told me they'd spent some money to get into online streaming of movies, but after a year, decided to get out.  Basically, they didn't have a clue. So I bought the combustion engine to their horse and buggy: Netflix (NFLX). I think I used to own this stock a few years ago when it was about $40/share but I got out. It's now $155/share and I'm kicking myself. No worries, it's showing up on lots of other devises like XBox and iPad, so I think it's got some more legs in it.

Still keeping an eye on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and they're still selling for $.29 and $.30 a share.  Anyway, I'm doing pretty well. My prediction that the market would hit 10,000 before 11,000 was waaaayyy off.  My big winner today is Starbucks, it's up 4% because some analysts suddenly have "more confidence" in the company.  Last month they said they were raising prices.

Here's my current holdings and returns as of close today:

AAPL 178.72%
AET 1.67%
AGP 50.94%
AIG 12.10%
AXP 186.36%
BP 7.29%
COF 2.89%
DIS 34.65%
EBAY 16.12%
F 223.65%
JBLU 12.91%
LF 3.95%
LVLT -30.94%
MA 33.89%
NFLX 0.35%
PG -5.67%
SBUX 35.70%
SIRI 17.39%
TJX -0.22%
TM -8.81%
XRX 65.24%

Planar lights

This is my personal favorite from this set of long exposure photographs, switching between the vertical and horizontal planes. The image stabilization on my new Canon S2 IS is great, as I handheld the shot. Just look at how clear the mirror and door is on the right.

TEN things I love about my job

OK, I've been too down on my job so here is a positive list to remind myself how great it is.

  1. 14 minutes from home: I simply can't beat that unless I take a 85% paycut and work at Hannaford's. Plus this allows me to bring Adam to Gymnastics.
  2. Excellent pay: It is worth being a manager for this pay.
  3. C#: What a beautiful language.
  4. UI: There is nothing that I enjoy more in programming than making awesome user inteface.
  5. Good boss: He is nice as can be and leaves me alone (although I don't think he quite appreciates what I do yet).
  6. Tom: He brought me in and continues to be a top notch friend (when he is around). Plus he is good to work with.
  7. The gym: You can't beat $7/month and 7 minutes from work.
  8. Shopping: Tax free shopping in NH is about 10-15 min away.
  9. $5 chair massages 3 times a month.
  10. Cube next to the window with a view of the sunset.

Yes, it is always good to remind ourselves of the good things in life. Otherwise we feel entitled and expect them.

In the words of Joni Mitchell in "Big Yellow Taxi": (am I dating myself??

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey...and all your positive job points are things that most of us would be thrilled to have...so I think you have a keeper! :-)

Angela said...

Unfortunately, the list from my last job would be twice as long, and I knew that it was a dream job (even before it was gone, and even more so now that it's gone too). But I'm committed to moving forward and not dwelling on the past!

Anonymous said...

I know what you mean...I was 18 years old at one point (seems like yesterday in many ways), and I was able to run about 20 miles.

That's hardly a brag because I now have a hip problem and have to admit I'm not sure I could run a mile right now....thankfully, walking/hiking is a little different

Yea, work doesn't always fit the declining model that age related things do, so it might not be the best parallel.

But I do believe that being positive is always helpful. (not always the way I am...but the way I try to be)

Always moving forward and only keeping those good memories of the past is a wise thing.

I really love programming languages and I'm using C# a lot, but I just don't get excited over C#. 2005 is MUCH better. 2002, 2003 was so bad it's gonna take a while to change my mind.

Anonymous said...

Hey...and now the force multiplier of more open internet access....viola, you have something close to utopia!

Anonymous said...

I came back here to this post to remind myself to think positively about my own job right now.

It's not so much that it is bad....or that the environent is difficult, but rather the rumor mill is running wild, and with all the reorganization going on (from the very top) there is a lot of talk of downsizing. (and with significant numbers too)

So perhaps I need to do a sort of copy-cat post in my journal...to get my mindset placed squarely in the right mindset...that is to be thankful for what I have, and not dissatisfied because I don't have everything I desire.

Merry Fishmas!

Merry Fishmas!
Adam found this Merry Fishmas chocolate last year, but not the Pocket God kind.

Everyone in our house, including our fish are having a wonderful holiday season! Once upon a time, we had simple 30 gallon aquarium with goldfish. We tried the $8 tropical fish that were all of 1.5 inches long and they died within a few days. So we went for inexpensive feeder goldfish instead, at 27 cents each. Only the finest non-dying fish will do!

We eventually settled on four fish which have lasted 6 years now. We have white and gold colored fish with long and short tails. It was a happy fish family which cost all of $1.08 (never mind the cost of the oversize aquarium).  I cleaned the aquarium every few months (or more) and it was extremely low maintenance.

Over the summer, Nicole of Wyoming Girl *turned* Coastie Wife asked the Boston Parent Bloggers group whether anyone would adopt her goldfish since her family was relocating.  I guess fish are not high on the list of "pets that travel".  Since we had a huge tank for four tiny fish, I gladly offered to take them.

Instantly, we had a full aquarium with nine fish.  These goldfish were the fancy red fantail and black moor (googly-eyed) variety, which actually cost $8 in the store.  Oh my!  Can we handle such exotic fish?

The first couple months went fine. But I noticed that these new fish pooped A LOT. Of course we feed them more because they were bigger, but the poop problem was getting out of hand. After the first time I cleaned aquarium, it fogged up with algae only three weeks afterward, as if Nemo had stopped by to clog the filter.

Finally I broke down and bought a double-sized filter, one for a 30-60 gallon tank, and this wonderful device.

Lee's Ultra GravelVac

I had never heard of a gravel vacuum, but the engineer in me was curious. It took a few tries to get the pump primed (vigorously push the tube up and down in the water a bunch of times until the water jumps over the loop of the tube and starts siphoning). But once it got going, it was a dream come true for finally removing all that poop stuck amidst the gravel. Plumes of poop got sucked up while leaving the gravel clean and white for the first time in years (be thankful I did not video this!).

Sure you can get a fancy vacuum with an electric pump, but the good old-fashioned siphon was so cool. Plus I got to teach Dova a bit of fluid mechanics. To her it was like a magic trick.

We also purchased a simple air pump and tube for the volcano that had sat dormant for months. I didn't have a diffuser, but Doug improvised by using a fuel filter for a chain saw such as this one.

Stens Fuel Filter

Now we have happy bubbles for our Mount Wannahockaloogie.

Happy Bubbles

Having a clean aquarium with happy bubbles sure makes for a Merry Fishmas!

Put on that Swimsuit, Mommies!

I recently shopped online for swimwear/ summer collection and was very satisfied for its quality and exact fitting. I'm finally convinced that US 'small' size fits me well.

I find it hard to shop at the stores with my (impatient!) kids, so online shopping is a real life saver! I can browse wide range of clothes collection right at my fingertips and have it conveniently delivered at home. It actually saves time and energy choosing what to add on my cart while taking care of the kids.

My ordered items has arrived and  waited for the perfect time to wear it.

I confidently shop online by using these size and fit guides and  carefully learn how to take body measurement.

It also comes with a Guaranteed  Buyer Protection in case you have issues with the item.

30 Day Returns Guarantee
Full or partial refund if the item is not as described
Full refund for damaged items

I donned my  'Donya-Look' wearing this Bohemian Maxi Dress!

I'm loving this one size cover up, that my sister wanted to borrow. 😅

Parenting changes things, years ago I bid goodbye to fashionable and high-heeled shoes thinking I should stop being my old self and completely embrace motherhood with these 'necessary' changes.

Years ago, I decided to left my corporate job and fully discover the advantages of  Working from  Home and instead  have a full packed schedule of managing children, chores and work.

Its been years, and now I am Up to beat this "Stay at Home Blues" by feeling good about myself, and taking an act of bravery of wearing what I want!

Since I have bulges and marks to take care of, settling for a backless one piece swimsuit is a good choice. The sexy open back works very well.

This strappy Monokini Cut-Out Swimwear also works to give a flattering shape!

I would highly recommend for its stylish and wide selection of outfits! I actually have more items sitting on my wish list, waiting to be bought.

Taking time to relax and feel good about myself does wonders for my "Mommy Soul"... People may think that I desperately hanging on to my youth, but I came to this age when I don't give a damn. Hahaha

How about you, what's your way to feel good and re-energized?

  1. Wow, the items really fit you well considering you bought them all online. I've never tried purchasing swimwear online because I'm always worried about it fitting properly. But good to know the sizing guides from this site is really helpful.

  2. I'm not fond of shopping online because I'm scared that it won't fit. Good thing that all items that you bought fit you. If you have the body, flaunt it. My mom still wears swimsuit at the age of 55. :)

    1. Wow, How I wished I can still wear swimsuit at that age!

  3. Shopping online for clothes is not really my thing. But I do love shopping online for other items.

    PS: that blue swimsuit looks really really nice! :)

    1. Oh well, not all of us can have the confident to shop online especially for clothes. But since I can easily find stylish design online, I eventually get the hang of it.

  4. Witwew! Wow, love how fit you are. I wouldn't have the guts to use the uni halter one in the end but hey, if I have that bod, I'd be confident to wear a swimsuit too. I'm currently on surfer shorts and shirt when I go to the beach haha.

    Thanks for the tip on the swim wear. I'll take note of this.

    1. Hehe. Thanks! But I wouldn't dare to wear those on crowded pool/ beach. I would still be on my rash guard if we spend longer swimming hours for sun protection.

  5. Wow. I like your bohemian maxi dress. You looks so donya. And the style.of your swim suit is something not very common, which I also like. Would wany to check on the online shop...really want that bohemian maxi dress talaga. Bagay sa yo.

    1. Thanks! Actually I'm a bit doubtful on that bohemian dress because its "one size fits all" I just thought I can gave it to my sister who's one size bigger than me just in case. But surprisingly, the cloth flatters any body type, maganda ang bagsak.

  6. Shopping for swimmies online can be quite tricky but those fit well. And they are priced reasonably, too! Am not sure when I'd have the guts to wear swimsuits again but I'd definitely keep this site in mind. Love the maxidress and cover-up, too!

Google+ Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas: All Aboard - A Celebration of The Polar Express!

Monday, December 19, 2011

All Aboard - A Celebration of The Polar Express!

I LOVE the Polar Express - both the book and the movie,
so I was excited to share a special
Polar Express Girls Night with the Lil Divas
as part of our Advent Calendar Activities

Here's What I Did:

We started our day with a fun
Santa Themed Pancake Breakfast -

Later in the day, I snuck in some Polar Express golden tickets beneath the Lil Divas pajamas. They were beyond excited to find both the tickets and a copy of the  Polar Express movie waiting for them after bath time. YAY!

I printed the tickets on special "golden" colored card stock and then made some simple jingle bell bracelets using a small bell & pipe cleaners.

I hid the bracelets in the bottom of the Lil Divas popcorn tub for them to find during the movie!

We sipped on some delicious hot chocolate (with marshmallows & whipped cream!)

and the Lil Divas were so surprised to hear a jingle coming from their popcorn. They of course couldn't resist digging through to find out what it was! They were so happy to find their jingle bell bracelets!

The Littlest Diva kept ringing her bell and saying she believes!

We finished our night by reading the story before bed.

Have you had any Polar Express fun?
I'd love to hear about it!

  1. I just love that book as well. Where did you get the template for the Golden ticket. It gives me an idea for the last day of class. Thanks for the idea

  2. That looks fun! My boys are obsessed with the movie (and are watching it right now).

  3. What a fun time! I am crazy about that movie, way more than my kids.

  4. Oh, I love it! Just "pinned" this post and am now following you on Pinterest as well. Where did you find the tickets to print? ~Julie

  5. We love the story/movie. I blogged about our experience here:

    Cute tickets and bells!

  6. I want a Santa breakfast!!!!

    Thank you for sharing on Kids Get Crafty!

  7. I love the idea of the tickets and of course the bells. Could you hear them ring though?

Thanks for taking the time to visit Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas! I hope you will stay awhile to explore all we have to offer!

1. Seven Stars Lamp course:

This course is about lighting lamps to change luck.  In Buddhism and Daoism, there are many methods for people who afflicted with bad luck to change to better luck and one of them is to light lamps.

In the religious philosophical aspect of lamp lighting, it is to lighten up our ignorance to bring us wisdom.

In the metaphysics aspect of lamp lighting, it is also to illuminate our lives, but it has a more materialistic aspect to it, in that it can lighten up the dark forces of bad luck and disaster.

The Buddhist and Daoists both have such a sutra with the same:-

Title of Buddhist sutra:

Sutra expounded by the Buddha on prolonging life through worship of the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper. 佛说北斗七星延命经

Title Daoist Sutra:

Tai Shang Lao Jun spoke the Mysterious spiritual sutra of extending life. 太上玄灵北斗本命延生真经

I my studies and training, I had received this seven stars ritual from a teacher who had incorporated both the Buddhist and Daoist practices into one complete practice.

I had been using this method since the late nineties, for my family and for my clients. Till today I have scores of regular customers both locally and overseas.

This course is a one of a kind in the English speaking world, not to be found anywhere else, and it would be your good fortune to learn it from me.

This course has three parts:

  1. The Seven Stars Lamp ritual
  2. The 9 Planet affliction lamps ritual
  3. Bonus course – Guan Yin Golden Coin Divination.

The seven stars lamp course materials include the Buddhist and Daoist sutras about the BeiDou Seven Stars and what it can do to help people.

You shall also learn the simplified ceremonial procedures such as the seven stars steps, the mantras and the prayers.

Course information:

Date of course: August 19 2018

Venue: My center in Butterworth, Penang ( address shall be given to participants)

Course fee: RM1800.00 (foreign currencies accepted).

  1. ShengJi Course.

Course information:

Date of course: 20 August 2018

Venue: My center in Butterworth, Penang ( address shall be given to participants)

Course fee: Original fee is RM6800.  Discounted fee for Lamp course participants RM 3600.00 (foreign currencies accepted).

Note: if you take only the ShengJi course you shall have to pay the original fee of RM6800.00

Note: This course shall be an indoor course.  However, if time permits I may take the students to a dragon walkabout to show some of the commercial Shengji plots.

Course lesson information:

In this course you shall be taught:

  1. Landform requirements for burial Shengji.
  2. For non- burial Shengji what you can do and where to put the Shengji.
  3. What are the types of urn you can use
  4. What are the taboos – the dos and don’t’s
  5. What are the necessary rituals, prayers and mantras

Mechanical stress leads to self-sensing in solid polymers

The polymers contain mechanically active molecules called mechanophores. When pushed or pulled with a certain force, specific chemical reactions are triggered in the mechanophores.

"This offers a new way to build function directly into synthetic materials," said Nancy Sottos, a Willett Professor of materials science and engineering at the U. of I. "And it opens the door to creating mechanophores that can perform different responsive functions, including self-sensing and self-reinforcing, when stressed."

That Dog Of Yours Needs To Learn Some Manners!-Why Haven't You Started Training Him?

  • No one logged in.

There are those who will discuss a message of salvation and redemption over the radio. Over the past year or so, 8 various individuals have accompanied me to the Hour of Power.

Now a terrific present suggestion is digital gadgets. Do you bear in mind seeing a display at JCPenny or Marshall's with a display screen of semi useful and intriguing things? That is a good location to start. As you well recognize these gizmos are fall under the category of guy's toys. They are semi useful as well as simply enjoyable due to exactly how novel they are. As an example my Papa located these truly amazing self home heating cups that you might connect into your car lighter. Believe along these lines. Something novel and also useful will definitely be a hit.

It is a slim line mobile phone which is lightweight too. The dimensions of this smartphone stand at 115 x 59.8 x 11.6 mm and also it considers just 130g. The front is controlled with a 3.7 inch S-LCD capacitive touch screen efficient in showing 480 x 800 pixels in 16M colours. The screen likewise showcases HTC Sense UI together with Touch delicate controls, accelerometer. Proximity and gyro sensors on a Gorilla Glass display.

Wedding celebration favors have increased to be far more affordable. Businesses are supplying financial savings for larger things, as well as supplying faster delivery probabilities. They are offering far much more option on the colours as well as designs of the items they provide also.

Susan Bradley, leader for Webelo Den 8 as well as planner of the job, said each of the dens provided consideratexmas gift hampers for the family members. "The boxes are overruning," she stated, adding that the task had actually expanded from in 2012.

This is not a new concept. Jesus educated similar things in allegory. An excellent tree could not birth bad fruit and a bad tree can not bear great fruit. Salt water does not originated from a fresh water spring. By their fruit you will recognize them.

It has actually been a while and he is not seeing you around, he will would like to know where you are spending your time. He could also turn up at your normal socialize acting that he did not recognize you were there. If this occurs, felt confident he still has the fire for you.

Some photos of Trice/AHR

To remind visitors to this blog of what bouldering was about in the late 70s, here are a couple of photos, scanned from snapshots by Rob Candelaria. (Thanks, Rob) They show how Jim Holloway was able to reach the pocket from the ground at that time, making the setup for the crux a bit easier. However to move to the pocket from the sidepull on the UCT is relatively trivial and hence regardless of how Holloway started the problem, the hardest two moves are the same. My estimate for all three moves is around V12.

Having started climbing in the late 70s as a teenager, I definitely recall the homemade chalkbag, the EBs, and the sense that bouldering was something out of the mainstream. In my way, isolated in Maine, with only the occasional magazine, and borrowed copy of Master of Rock to inspire, I followed the same path and still try to. I hope this motivates people to learn more about the period and the people who set the standard.

i also have always liked the story, as i understand it, that rob worked 'over yourself' for something like 12 years, drew a topo with the names of each hold, and typed out the move by micro-move beta...

and finally sent.

he was not overcome by the burn-out cycle of obsession and frustration, but rather kept that pot simmering until it was finally time to feast in celebration.

proof positive that 'focus' is not limited to the immediate; it can be a definitive point on a distant horizon.

slick sniper style in an environment of drive-by thugs.
