R&B vocalist Samoht released his Christmas-inspired singles “Love Samoht” and “Love Samoht Again” on Thanksgiving day. The two versions of the same song are just in time to invoke the Christmas spirit.
“This song is about me asking someone to put me on their Christmas list as something they want. It’s like me wanting to make it official,” said Samoht. “The song is me finally getting the courage to say what I’ve been feeling and thinking. It’s about me not holding back and saying how I really feel.”
A Brooklyn-based R&B vocalist, producer, and songwriter, Samoht will be performing in New York City on December 6th at The Paper Box in Brooklyn, NY. Not too long ago, he debuted his EP “Omen.”

Food Extruder for Meat Substitute Products
January 22, 2020
5 Min Read
High Moisture Meat Analogue (HMMA) discharging from the cooling die flanged directly to the Coperion ZSK food extruder
For its ZSK food extruder, Coperion has developed a hybrid solution for manufacturing meat substitute products.
With only a minimum of retrofitting effort, both texturized vegetable protein (TVP) and high moisture meat analogues (HMMA) can be produced on this ZSK food extruder, providing manufacturers of meat substitutes maximum flexibility to be able to profitably react to changing market demands, even on short notice.
The co-rotating ZSK twin screw extruder is used in the manufacture of both TVP and HMMA. Previously, the food extrusion system’s configuration differed for each application: While the ZGF centric food pelletizer is attached to the process section for manufacturing TVP in order to cut the product directly at the nozzle plate, HMMA is discharged using a specialized cooling die, which produces a product strand exhibiting a texture closely resembling that of genuine meat.
Using a newly developed adapter solution from Coperion, the ZSK food extruder’s discharge can now be changed over from a ZGF to a cooling die in record time. The machine’s operator personnel can perform the changeover; no electrician is needed. The ZGF is first opened and moved to the side. Next, after the nozzle plate is opened by loosening a few screws, the nozzle is switched using the adapter and the cooling die is flanged. The same principle functions just as quickly in reverse when performing product changeovers from an HMMA process to TVP.
The food extruder’s design, with feeding and process section, remains largely unchanged in most cases. In combination with the self-cleaning profile of the extruder’s twin screws, product conversion is completed in a few minutes.
TVP is used both as a meat substitute and as a supplement to meat products. It can be produced in various sizes and forms, as smaller pellets or larger chunks, broken down or ground. TVP is a dry, expanded product with a long shelf life under normal ambient conditions. TVP requires rehydration in water/liquid before use.
When manufacturing TVP, the extruder’s main inlet is continually fed with bulk raw protein material using high-accuracy loss in weight feeders and material handling refill systems. Immediately thereafter, water is injected using Coperion K-Tron liquid feeders. In certain cases, direct steam injection is applied into the process section as well. Within the process section, materials are mixed, kneaded, and cooked. The product then moves out of the extruder via a nozzle plate where it is processed such that it achieves a porous, foamy structure with oriented fibers. The attached ZGF pelletizer’s knife rotor then immediately cuts the product. The TVP granules are then dried to ensure long-term product stability.
HMMA is primarily used as a high-quality meat-analogue product in ready-to-eat meals. By adjusting recipe and process parameters, structures of different meat types can be replicated with striking similarity to the original. HMMA’s moisture content lies between approximately 50-80% and must therefore be refrigerated.
Protein sources used to manufacture high-quality HMMA are primarily legumes such as soy, lupine or pea. In certain cases, i.e., when manufacturing meat product extenders, lesser quantities of genuine meat or fish products are added.
The bulk raw protein material is fed into the extruder inlet. Water is then added. Within the ZSK food extruder’s process section, this mass is then fully mixed and kneaded. Discharge takes place using a cooling die that generates a meat-like texture which is “frozen in.” The result is a solid strand with fiber structure similar to meat; the strand is then conveyed to the next process step.

Colleagues, good afternoon.
I'll state the point. The client purchased a mammograph (manufactured in May 2007) without a detector, and then purchased it additionally. When loading the software (Solaris 3.4), an error appears with the text "There was a problem communicating with the detector. Press OK to continue without the detector."
The detector has no identification plates, and there is no CD with the driver either. When started, it seems to behave correctly: it moves the grid to its extreme positions, which is accompanied by the corresponding LEDs on the detector control board turning on.
At the moment I found information about his native (presumably) detector s/n YM630397 in the folder: opt - linx _mp - data. Also, using netscape, I contacted brick (http:/brick), where I found, as it turned out, information about the current detector: s/n MM604218, Hardware revision: B01FC. Sorry I can't attach a photo.
The questions are:
1) Is this detector in principle suitable for a mammograph, or is there a generation/revision conflict?
2) Is it possible to establish a connection between the detector and the device in some way without having drivers?
3) Does it make sense to connect to the existing COM port of the detector or is it already clear that it is “live”?
4) What to do? Advise a client to buy a different detector/mammograph?
Thanks in advance for your answers

One of NSW’s most popular tourism destinations, Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) has achieved Australia’s first Ecotourism Destination Certification, through Ecotourism Australia’s (EA) new Ecotourism Destination Certification program that recognises best practice in sustainable tourism in protected areas.
Congratulations to Palace Adventures on Achieving Ecotourism Certification!
In a landmark decision emerging from the 2016 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress in Hawaii comes a bold commitment to improve standards for ecotourism worldwide. Proposed by the Yale Tropical Resources Institute in collaboration with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, The Wilderness Society Australia, National Parks Australia Council, the International Ecotourism Society and other organisations, the motion "Improving standards in ecotourism" urges IUCN to renew their definition of ecotourism and address the barriers to its effectiveness as a conservation tool.
Let’s talk about sustainability.
Congratulations to Treetops for their recent upgrade to Advanced Ecotourism certification.
Following the launch of their successful Green Guest Policy in 2015, on June 3rd, Fun Over Fifty will kick off their new "Being Seen, Being Green" policy. The aim of this policy is to involve their guests in their mission to become recognised as the most sustainable tour operator in Australia, by partnering with fellow tourism suppliers.
South Australia has just released a strategy and action plan to transform the state's nature-based tourism sector.
The 2015 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards Gala Night took place last Friday, with some of Australia’s best tourism operators on display. Ecotourism Australia was thrilled to see 38 of our members represented, taking home 17 well-earned awards, and making up 22% of all award winners.

Call it a simple oversight that not a single tree in the New Orleans area was included in the Cultural Landscape Foundation's traveling exhibit, "Every Tree Tells a Story," currently on display at Longue Vue House and Gardens.
So to add some local perspective, Robin Pipkin, a graduate student in Tulane University's School of Public Preservation, will give a presentation on Sunday at 2 p.m. to augment the exhibit, which celebrates the nation's beautiful, historic and possibly endangered trees.
Included among the nine area trees Pipkin will highlight are Audubon Park's Tree of Life as well as the one remaining Dueling Oaks in City Park.
"Back in the 1700s and all the way through the 1800s, duels were held there with swords and then with guns," Pipkin said. "There were two, and one of them died. And when it was taken out they found a bunch of personal artifacts like some old knives and reading glasses."
Unlike most trees, it's hard to accurately discern the age of a live oak due to the irregular pace at which they grow. "So you have to go by historical accounts," Pipkin said. "For example, the trees at Oak Alley planation, those are also on the list as well, for obvious reasons, but we only know how old they are because someone found a record of Capuchin monks who were traveling through the area in 1722 and who wrote in their travel journals what they saw."
"Every Tree Tells a Story" is a traveling photography exhibition, originally curated in 2010 by American Photo magazine and produced by The Cultural Landscape Foundation. The exhibit includes images of "sentinel and specimen trees, allées and boulevards (and) urban forests," from 12 locations around the United States and Puerto Rico, though none of the locations are in Louisiana.
Pipkin's presentation will contributed insight into local notable trees. The presentation is free to the public. "Every Tree Tells a Story" will be on display at the Longue Vue Gate House, 7 Bamboo Road, until April 13. For information, visit longuevue.com.

Inspired by this comic.
Black tea is retarded leaf water and nobody really likes green.
Black tea contains fluoride which cannot be removed.
Search fluoride Harvard.
This might be why the British have lost our fighting spirit, the more cups of black tea with fluoridated water we consume PER DAY.
Coffee is the cocaine of pussies. After a brief high, whatever you consume as your brain downregulates activity to compensate merely keeps your levels normal aka not boosted. Coffee is not a nootropic in the neurological sense. Plus the modern dosages (one serving is not a Venti barrel) fuck with your sperm.
No, literally, your sperm gets fucked up.
“However, large amounts of caffeine cause sperm to swim slower thereby reducing male fertility. In order to improve fertility reduce or eliminate caffeine from your daily diet while you and your partner are trying to conceive.”
Meanwhile, chocolate, drink of cannibals and philosophers…
Chocolate is as complex as wine, in fact, this is the reason for classic wine and cheese OR chocolate sessions.
Chocolate contains flavonoids, like tea, but mixed with dairy (a milk or cream base) has the same impact as what all the hipsters call Bulletproof Coffee. Only better because the cocoa fats render well with the animal fat and absorb better into the body (more important than what you ingest).
Vegan chocolate is the shit, you can get green tea flavour if you’re boring or strawberry milkshake if you’re me. Put it in your wheatgrass high estrogen smoothies if you wanna be a pussy about it.
The Enlightenment was founded on chocolate, moreso than coffee. Great scientists and Casanova, among many royals, chugged the stuff.
Hot Chocolate is the drink of the beverage master-race.
All the facts are there.
….We have options. We haz your whipped cream. We haz the marshmallows. The humble cinnamon wand. We haz da mighty wafer.
There is no come-down from a good hot chocolate. There isn’t enough sugar for a sugar crash, the dairy is light enough (genetics – only white people can properly digest dairy) that it causes no digestion issues and you can drink as many as you want without fucking your BP. You can happily mix Merlot into it. Bourbon. Vodka. Say the same about coffee.
How is this not a thing?
That and bone marrow ‘butter’. Great on garlic bread.

It shatters more careful virtues into debris, offering simply the vulnerability of its own candour. Her iconoclasm has led to her work being misread as sensationalist, just as it has lent itself to the cause of feminism.

Black humor frequently uses farce and low comedy to suggest that individuals are helpless victims of destiny and individual. It is a form of writing which contrasts the darkish and terrible factors with comical ones that point to the uselessness and futility of existence. The massive question remains that why did black humor as a characteristic of writing in literature changed into getting used, moreover what was it pointing at. This answer may be understood if I throw light at the movement in literature within the 20th century which is known as post-modernism. post-modernism emerged as motion in literature and also other artwork paperwork as a response to the give up of the sector world II.
Byron created works of art which respected and opposed accustomed conventions at the same time. Among the many issues that Don Juan addresses genre subversion seems to be the most obvious one raised by the poem. He parodies or attacks the conventions of epic poetry. Byron began Don Juan as “a literary manifesto to his age,” and he “vigorously attacks the literary pretensions” of his fellow Romantic poets, or as Jerome J. McGann terms them, the poets of “the Lakist School” (57). Byron identified Pope as one of his chief influences hence, he felt that his Romantic contemporaries who attacked Pope “showed their neglect of the rules of propriety in verse, a neglect which carried over to the debasement of political and ethical ideas.
Anger in literature is characterized by social class conflict and witnessed many of the revolutionary movements against society. It also characterized by the struggle against the establishment, values, conventions and authority. Moreover, it focused on the man who is trapped in an antagonistic universe without any chance of happiness and hope for the future. Anger in literature focused on many themes such as: the theme of social critic against middle-class values, theme of violence, damage, rage, hatred and frustration. The protagonists were mostly of the working-class or of lower middle-class origin; who view society with contempt and ironic humor and may have conflict with authority.
In the aftermath of the horrifying first world war events, people felt disillusioned and betrayed by authority figures. Consequently, they began to question universal truths, institutions , and the future of humanity. People sought explanations for what had happened and what is happening to their society .This acted as a catalyst for the emergence of modernism . Modernism is a notable literary movement which spoke of the inner self and consciousness. Indeed , modernist works attempted to rebel against the corrupted modern world, shake the sensibilities of the reader, and depart from traditional literary styles.
What we find in reading him, however, is that violence is far more than a backdrop or a socio-political context for an essentially individual drama. The nature of violence seems to go right to the heart of his work, rupturing the divisions between personal and social experience, aesthetic and non-aesthetic language. In what follows, I wish to suggest that for Fiacc – as, indeed, for others – there is something disturbingly yet irreducibly violent about the work of poetry itself. RUINED PAGES In an autobiographical sketch of his childhood in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen,
The characteristics of the anger movement appeared in the 20th century modern drama. It is characterized by social class conflict and witnessed many of the revolutionary movements against society. The theme of the plays in this movement concerned with social critic against middle-class values, and they shared a disrespect and contempt for the class system and the post welfare state. The theme of struggle against the establishment, values, conventions and authority prevailed in modern drama. There are also many themes which dominated modern plays such as: violence, frustration, damage, loneliness and revenge.
It is no wonder that artists who attack society often exclude themselves from it; they are trying to limit how they become influenced. These are extreme examples but we can also find ourselves questioning the way society functions. If so, remember how pointing through the window also means pointing at a faint reflection of yourself, a reflection which was nurtured by society, a reflection which may defend the very ideas you are trying to
They believed that if the literature standards are ignored, it will result in cultural degeneration. He wrote An Essay of Criticism and The Dunciad to elucidate on his viewpoint of literary standards. The Dunciad, the long and elaborated mock-heroic poem of Alexander Pope was first published in 1728. The poem is filled with dark brilliance which at first served as a weapon for the personal war Pope had against stupidity and dullness. According to Pope, “Dulness” presides over the literary creations of the hack writers and is promoted by patrons who cannot appreciate art and publishers who prioritize profitability.
(58) Bombay here is a symbol of the modern Indian chaos resulting from contact with the west and of ‘ Man 's estrangement from a man made world’. Gieve Patel, who has published two volumes of poetry, Poems and How do you Withstand Body, stands with the younger generation of poets who can be held to have a modern sensibility. He is, although occasionally, insightful of the complex human condition and understands human failings, hypocrisies and wickedness which today 's modern society is filled with. In “Public Works” he expresses, Polished Chrome crashing down in rust heaps; And fire places all over the city Choking in witness; electric grills Losing their electric glow, kerosene stoves Expiring with a hiss, the ashes of coal fires pasty and dark Turning inward to quench the Coals. (13) Patel 's excellent poems derive much of their strength from the way he is strongly aware of local conditions of life without getting himself involved in the process.

A series of novel Fe/Co layered double hydroxides modified with glycine (named as FeCo-LDH@G) were prepared and served as high-performance adsorbents for As (V). With a Fe/Co mole ratio of 1:1, the Fe0·02Co0.02-LDH@G adsorbents achieved significant improvements on the adsorption selectivity and capacity for As (V). The As (V) adsorption by Fe0·02Co0.02-LDH@G follows Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The maximum adsorption capacity is 820 mg g−1 and the equilibrium reaches in 120 min. Under the assistance of electrochemical devices, the Fe0·02Co0.02-LDH@G adsorbent was regenerated and the adsorption capacity for As (V) was dropped only about 13.41% in 5 cycles. These excellent performances make Fe0·02Co0.02-LDH@G as promising As (V) adsorbents for commercial wastewater treatments.

England v Italy match zone: So, was midweek trip to Berne a good idea?
The wisdom - or otherwise - of taking a pre-season game to a neutral venue will surely be questioned after the Stade de Suisse was only a quarter full for this game between essentially two reserve teams.
Those who came here expecting to see a repeat of the Euro 2012 quarter-final may have been left asking for their money back.
Sparse: England fans were in good voice despite the numerous empty seats
Dan's Roberto's man, surely
Havig lost out on Robin van Persie, Manchester City may yet sign midfielder Daniele De Rossi from Roma.
And the Italy man was quick to leave his mark on Manchester United’s Tom Cleverley here, clattering through the back of the England midfielder in only the second minute. Sadly, De Rossi then scored Italy’s goal.
Remember me, Liverpool? Alberto Aquilani
Better off without him
Former Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani again proved just how average he really is. Aquilani has made footballing anonymity an art form. Liverpool fans will be glad to see the back of the insipid Italian.

Jack Rodwell has already been told by Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini that he will be a reserve during his early days at the Etihad Stadium. Here the midfielder got some practice in, starting the night on the bench.
Pressure? What pressure?
Roy Hodgson may have created a few headlines with his rather brave comments about John Terry on Tuesday but he was still happy to stop and chat with journalists as he took a stroll along the river bank in sunny Berne on Wednesday lunchtime.

W. Jakarta fourth-grader bites man who tried to abduct her
The Jakarta Post
An abduction attempt targeting a pupil of SDN 01 state elementary school in Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta, failed on Wednesday after the little girl reportedly bit the would-be abductor’s hand.
The school’s principal, Mulyadi, said the incident occurred at around 1 p.m. when all of the students had left the school but three fourth-graders were passing the street behind the school on the way to a tutoring session.
“School ended at 1 p.m. The student wanted to attend a tutoring session but before going there, she bought snacks near the school building,” Mulyadi said, as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com.
The victim’s home, he added, was located only 20 meters from the school. The alleged perpetrator tried to smother the victim but she bit his hand, causing him to lose his grip on her. The girl then ran away.
According to the victim’s information, there were two perpetrators. The first one tried to abduct her while the other waited in a car.
“The perpetrators were old. They wore hats so it was hard to identify them. The victim also said there were other children locked in the car and tied up. However, so far we have not received any reports of missing children,” Mulyadi said.
Following the apparent abduction, the school has tightened security. The students are no longer allowed to leave the premises during recess, and when school ends they have to wait for their parents to pick them up.
Separately, Tanjung Duren Police general crimes unit head Adj. Sr. Comr. Rensa Aktadevia said the police were investigating the case but declined to provide further details. (wnd/wit)

The esports phenomenon has evolved a great deal over time. From being targeted towards a niche market, esports has entered the mainstream, so much so, the industry is recognised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. With more than 100 million players globally, it’s hard not to notice the presence of this massive industry. This presents a new platform for brands, game-related or not, to tap into the billion-dollar industry and support its expansion in markets such as Malaysia.
Similar to traditional sports, there are many opportunities in the esports industry that can be explored by the government, private sectors as well as brands. Professional esports tournaments and leagues are becoming more popular and attracting massive audiences. Many factors come into play in terms of its attractiveness – the games, the players and the constant evolving nature of the esports segment.
The audiences and fans of any sport admire a champion’s tenacity, determination and focus that makes them the stars of their sport. In line with this, an esports programme specially catered to those who are interested and strongly passionate in being a part of this evolving industry is indeed what is needed.
While the idea behind the programme is to nurture and sharpen their talent and skills set, this should not be limited to just players, but to look at the entire ecosystem of the esports world. In addition to being a player, the important roles that take place behind the scenes play a significant part in the development of the industry. Having said this, there is a lot of hard work that goes behind setting up a successful league or tournament which is not being recognised by the public. From the development of the game to technical logistics and live-streaming, it requires a lot of effort in keeping these parts aligned.
For Domino’s, particularly, we strongly believe in the vast array of opportunities the industry offers, specially in the talent development area. There is much potential that Malaysians can delve into to ensure they are given the opportunity to flourish and grow. We embarked on an engagement initiative with the who’s who in the local esports scene to gain a better understanding of what they see as a need to propel esports forward. Guidance and mentorship were among the key factors that were discussed in shaping and fine-tuning the skills the players may have to help them soar and become stars in the esports arena.
The many different aspects in the esports industry offer many different job opportunities. It truly demonstrates the evolution of job opportunities over time. One does not have to be a professional gamer to score a job within esports as there are many jobs that are equally as exciting and challenging. These jobs range from being a gamer, to a streamer, to a shout-caster, to a game developer and other technical expertise.
Ultimately, there are endless possibilities in the esports scene for the government, brands and private sector as well as Malaysians to delve into. There is a place for everyone in this industry and with many initiatives and events taking place in Malaysia, it is undeniable that in a few years’ time, our esports scene is set for a bright future ahead. The dream is to cheer for our players on a global esports stage.

A woman appeared in Liverpool Court on Wednesday after an alleged armed robbery in Sydney's west and two car-jackings near Wollongong last month.
Detectives charged the woman after emergency services were called to a hotel on Mulgoa Road at Wallacia about 4.30am on April 2, following reports of an armed robbery.
Police were told a man - armed with a firearm - entered the business and threatened staff, before stealing cash and a white Holden Commodore parked outside.
During the investigation, police were notified of an unrelated incident at Mount Keira on Tuesday April 13.
Detectives from the State Crime Command's Robbery and Serious Crime Squad were told a man was sitting in a parked prime mover on Harry Graham Drive, when he was approached by a man and a woman - allegedly armed with a firearm.
The man was allegedly threatened and detained, before the pair stole his personal items and the truck.
It's alleged the pair pulled over about 600m down the same road and approached a man sitting in a parked Subaru Liberty.
Police will allege in court that man was also threatened with the firearm and forced from the vehicle, before the couple set fire to the prime mover and stole the car.
Following extensive investigations, detectives arrested a 42-year-old man at Gregory Hills last month. He was charged and remains before the courts.
As part of ongoing inquiries, a 25-year-old woman was arrested at a home on Forbes Street, Warwick Farm about 6.30am Wednesday, May 12.
The woman was taken to Liverpool Police Station where she was charged with two counts of robbery while armed with dangerous weapon.

Live Now Pay Later (1962) – Moving Image : Gallery
The film paints a vivid, valuable picture of early-1960s credit boom Britain, when austerity had become prosperity — even if the world was still in black-and-white — and the masses were coming to terms with their newfound spending power and learning to live beyond their means, thanks to the miracle of hire purchase.
Screenplay by Jack Trevor Story
The origins of the film remain somewhat murky. Apparently, film-maker Jay Lewis began by asking the writer Jack Trevor Story — the man who provided the source novel for Hitchcock’s darkly droll The Trouble with Harry – to adapt for the screen a novel by one Jack Lindsay, entitled All on the Never-Never. The book focuses on a housewife who gets into debt and, rather than tell her husband, resorts to prostitution.
This somehow turned into a vaguely related scenario revolving around a cheeky, energetic, bed-hopping jack-the-lad of a door-to-door salesman — or “tally boy” — by the name of Albert Argyle.

Night School: Book 3
Cimmeria Academy’s solid walls have protected the children of the British elite for centuries. But now those walls are beginning to crumble. And if they fall, Allie Sheridan knows nothing can save her.
A powerful and dangerous secret society – one that controls not just the school but the government, the media and corporations – is turning on itself. Allie’s grandmother still clings to power but everyone knows her time at the top is ending. Next in line is Nathaniel, who killed Allie’s friends. If he takes over, all is lost.
Panicked and angry, she pushes everyone away. She wants revenge. She wants justice. But some battles can’t be won alone. Allie must learn who to trust. Or lose everything.
Fracture is the thrilling third book in the international bestselling Night School series.
‘I love the Night School series so much. It really is my favourite recent series and I really loved Fracture, the third book in the Night School series… I love the fast pace of both this novel and the entire series. Everything felt like it was on full-throttle and there’s never a dull moment at Cimmeria Academy!’ FlutteringButterflies.com
‘If you’ve been waiting for answers about Night School and the organization, rest assured, answers you shall get. There were clues before and I had my suspicions, but in Fracture, the purpose of Night School becomes abundantly clear – and scarier than ever.’ The Nocturnal Library
‘With action from start to finish you never know what may be over the next page. You feel for the main character, Allie, throughout as she tries to grasp a greater understanding of whom she can trust around her and who has betrayed her. Easier said than done when almost all of her fellow Night School members could be to blame.
Warning: Very addictive and you will put reading this book over everything else.’ TheSprout.co.uk

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (WJHL) — The Salvation Army spent Saturday gathering school supplies donations for children in our region who are in need.
The “Stuff the Bus” event was held across the nation, including at Elizabethton’s Walmart.
News Channel 11 was told all school supplies collected will go to children in our community who need them most.
“This is the first time the Salvation Army is doing this nationally, and we just realize there is a need after every summer and after they purchase school supplies for students that the parents end up having a need to either pay their bills or buy school supplies,” said Salvation Army volunteer Kylee Kilbourne.
As you make the final preparations for your child to go back to school, check out our “Back to School” section on our website.

MOUNDRIDGE — Moundridge baseball coach Lynn Eichelberger had to be wondering what in the heck was going on in the first inning of Game 1 with arch-rival Inman on Friday.
The Teutons stunned the Wildcats by scoring seven runs as Moundridge appeared to be beat before ever coming to the plate.
But Moundridge scored the game’s final 10 runs for a 10-7 victory, then won a well-played Game 2 5-2 to complete the sweep.
“After we got down 0-7 after the first inning, I thought our team showed great resolve to chip away at the lead and get the victory,” MHS coach Lynn Eichelberger said. “I thought Josh Knight entered the game in a tough spot with bases loaded, no outs, in the first inning and he reduced the damage. Caleb Frye came in and closed the door for the save.”
Inman was still up 7-5 when the Wildcats’ Peyton Fast stroked a clutch two-out hit to score two runs to tie the game at 7-7 in the fourth. In the fifth, Knight helped his own cause by driving in the go-ahead run.
MHS won the game despite managing just four hits. Inman had seven, two apiece by Jayden Martin and Dakota Parkhurst.
Knight went 5 1/3 innings for the win. Connor Brown took the loss.
In Game 2, a three-run fifth inning was the difference. Noah Eichelberger, the second of three pitchers, was the winner. He also had two of the five MHS hits.
Walker Strange had two hits for Inman. Ethan DeWitt took the loss.
“Chris Leddy started the game and got into a little trouble in the first inning, which raised his pitch count to a point where I had to take him out,” Lynn Eichelberger said. “Putting Noah in the game that early did not worry me a coach, it worried me as a Dad. I told him we need a couple of innings out of you so we can bring in Caleb to close out the game. He gave us 5 1/3 quality innings. He did a great job keeping the Inman hitters guessing and got a lot of ground balls our defense made the plays on. Noah is not going to blow the fastball by you, but he likes to dink and dunk around the strike zone. Caleb Frye came in the game in the seventh with two outs, a 3-0 count on the batter and threw three consecutive strikes to earn his second save of the night.”

Okay… so title of this post because if I were a Disney princess, this might very well may be my princess outfit of choice. I actually think this may be my favorite outfit that I have ever worn, and it was a last minute situation! I knew I wanted to wear this custom Chanel necklace backwards in some way, but when I saw these incredible Georgine pants, it was like all the stars were aligning in my head. After the Georgine fashion show in NYC, I literally took my friends out to celebrate… as in celebrate the fact that I had found my dream outfit. (You think I’m joking… I’ve never been more serious). With that I want to share some of my favorite looks from the Georgine show. I fell in love with the minimalist with a “hint of glam” vibe. Every look was sleek, yet energetic… and the fur embellishments had me grabbing my pounding heart with excitement. I can’t believe that designer, Georgine Ratelband, is only 24. Now I feel inadequate as a woman. I mean, how talented can someone be?!
Take a look at my faves:

(adjective) marked by transparency; pellucid / (adjective) clear and simple in style / (adjective) absolutely serene and untroubled
A limpid dawn had completely unsheathed one side of the empty street.
within the limpid facets of which, had I been a better crystal-gazer, I might have seen a room, people, lights, trees in the rain—a whole period of émigré life for which that ring was to pay
The draw of children’s literature may lie in the language as much as anything. These books have a total limpidity—a close, clean material attention that makes you feel like you’re reading a catalog description of a world to be entered at will
"total" is a weird adjective to use here

Sony Philippines (SPH) introduces Ben&Ben as its new ambassadors for the Sony Philippines X-Series Speakers. This partnership has paved the way for SPH’s “One Sony” collaboration as Ben&Ben is also under the Sony Music Entertainment Philippines label.
“We at Sony Music are thrilled that our artists Ben&Ben are the new ambassadors for the Sony X-Series speaker line. We always look forward to working with Sony PH and other Sony divisions under the One Sony policy. Collaborations such as these allow us to tap into and maximize the synergy between all groups under the Sony brand,” the company stated.
Recently, Sony launched the X-Series speakers, a line-up of three portable wireless speakers – SRS-XP700, SRS-XP500, and SRS-XG500. These speakers are for musicians like Ben&Ben, these are easy to use for jamming sessions because of their portable size and you can also use them with your instruments such as guitars that you can easily plugin.
“Sony Philippines is very excited about this partnership and collaboration with Ben & Ben, the biggest and most talented band in the Philippine Music scene today. As part of Sony’s X-series wireless speaker influencers, Ben&Ben is definitely a perfect match. The band is truly talented and exciting, churning out songs that connect well with the Filipino youth as proven by their many top hits over the years. On the other hand, the XP700 and XG500 X-series wireless speakers which are defined by Live Life Loud, deliver an exciting sound entertainment experience to the next level. Moreover, since the band is under the Sony Music label, it is not surprising to see creativity, innovation, and entertainment in both their DNAs,”
Sony Philippines Senior Director for Brand & Customer Communications Division Alvin De Vera
Stay tuned for what’s in store for the newest Sony X-Series speakers, especially the SRS-XP700 and SRS-XG500 as Ben&Ben experience it for themselves.

Lou Foote Airport / Highway 77 Airport (revised 10/18/18) - Hensley Field / Dallas NAS (revised 10/23/22)
Lou Foote Airport / Highway 77 Airport, Dallas, TX
32.626, -96.828 (South of Downtown Dallas, TX)
Lou Foote Airport, as depicted on on the February 1943 Dallas Sectional Chart.
This general aviation airport was location on the southern edge of the Dallas city limits.
Foote Airport was apparently built at some point between 1942-43,
as it was not depicted on the September 1942 Dallas Sectional Chart (courtesy of Chris Kennedy).
The earliest depiction which has been located of Lou Foote Airport was on on the February 1943 Dallas Sectional Chart,
which depicted Foote as a commercial/municipal airport.
The earliest photo which has been located of Foote Airport
was a 10/16/43 aerial view looking north from the 1945 AAF Airfield Directory (courtesy of Scott Murdock).
It depicted the field as having 5 runways.
According to Kary McMillen, the field was built by Lou Foote,
who taught students at the field during the 1940s.
"I imagine he kept his ownership of the field into the late forties,
but was busy training pilots in a number of locations during the war."
Lonnie Wiggins reported, “Lou Foote Airfield... During WWII, it was a airfield used for CAA-WTS pilot instruction.
My father, Harvey Wiggins had a contract with Foote as an instructor.”
The April 1944 US Army/Navy Directory of Airfields (courtesy of Ken Mercer)
described Lou Foote Airport as having a 3,900' unpaved runway.
The 1945 AAF Airfield Directory (courtesy of Scott Murdock) described Lou Foote Airport
as a 247 acre rectangular property having 5 caliche runways, the longest being a 3,450' north/south strip.
The field was said to have four 120' x 80' concrete & tile hangars,
and to be owned & operated by private interests.
A circa 1940s photo by Bob Johnson of an aircraft & hangar at Lou Foote Airport.
Bob Johnson recalled, “My mother worked for Mr. Foote at the cafe located in the center building between the barracks on the corner.
She also sewed material for airplane owners that covered airplanes.
The cafe & part of the barracks burned probably in the late 1940s.
Lou Foote took my mother up in airplane; he did some crazy things & made her very sick; he was interesting person.”
An aerial view looking northwest at Lou Foote Airport from an article entitled "Private Airports"
in the May 1947 issue of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce Magazine (courtesy of Jeff Ferguson).
The photo showed the airport having 4 hangars & some smaller buildings at its northeast corner,
with a single aircraft (a Fairchild AT-21) visible in the foreground.
The article described Highway 77 Airport as being operated by Lou Foote, a "veteran airman".
According to an article entitled “Lou Foote Airport Destroyed by Fire” in the 9/11/47 The Mexia Weekly Herald (courtesy of Micheal McMurtrey),
the airport's Administration building & 2 nearby structures were destroyed in a fire.
It also reported that the airport recently had been placed in receivership & was scheduled for a bankruptcy sale.
By 1947, the field became known as the Highway 77 Airport, named after Highway 77 (later to become Interstate 35),
which ran directly along the eastern edge of the airport property.
The January 1948 Dallas Local Aeronautical Chart depicted Foote Airport as having a 3,500' unpaved runway.
A circa 1951 photo of Howard Kidwell landing an Aeronca at Highway 77 Airport.
Howard Kidwell recalled, "I learned to fly at the Highway 77 Airport in 1951.
I soloed in a Piper Cub & then worked then cleaning airplanes for flying time.
I flew Aeronca Champions then, in the 1951-53 time frame.
A B-24 was put in flying condition & they flew it out of there!
I went on to flying fighters for the USAF & am now doing some Citation Flying.
All due to my career beginning at Highway 77 Airport!"
A 4/25/52 USGS aerial view of Highway 77 Airport depicted the field as having a total of 5 unpaved runways.
A closeup from the 1952 aerial view depicted the 4 hangars at the northeast corner of the field, and at least 3 aircraft,
along with what appeared to be pieces of several other aircraft on the west side.
The earliest topo map depiction which has been located of Highway 77 Airport was on the 1958 USGS topo map.
It depicted “Hi Way Airport” as having 5 paved runways,
and 5 buildings & a survey marker labeled “Loufoote” at the northeast corner.
Highway 77 Airport, as depicted on a 1960 Humble Oil DFW road map.
The 1962 AOPA Airport Directory described Highway 77 Airport as having a total of 5 "turf & caliche" runways,
with the longest being the 4,000' Runway 2/20.
The 1963 TX Airport Directory (courtesy of Steve Cruse)
depicted the Highway 77 Airport as having a total of 5 turf & caliche runways,
with the longest being the 4,000' turf Runway 17R/35L.
“Interstate 35E under construction” had eaten away a chunk of the eastern portion of the airport,
including the 2 hangars along the eastern side of the field.
A ramp at the northeast corner had 3 hangars (although 2 of the hangars were labeled as having "non-airport use").
The operators were listed as Gabby Hall Aircraft & Modern Aero Sales Company.
The airport manager was listed as Orval Kirkwood.
Richard Warner recalled, “I flew out of Highway 77 Airport from 1966-70.
In 1968 (when I was 22), I bought a Cessna 140 there and, a few years later sold it at the same place.
Paul Camp & his wife ran the airport at that time & they called it, at least informally, 'Campaul'.
Paul later moved to Lancaster - maybe that's when Highway 77 Airport closed.
I have very fond memories of Highway 77 Airport.
The airport had no runway lights and my Cessna 140 had no landing lights.
So, night landings involved flying south on the west side if I-35, coming over the brightly lighted Gulf billboard at 400',
heading for that long black space on the ground just southwest of the street light at Danieldale & I-35,
going over the airport parking lot at 100' (watch the power lines on Danieldale!)
and touching down on whatever blackness that was just south of the east-west hedge separating the parking lot from the north end of Runway 18L.
Night takeoffs were similar except that I always drove my Volkswagen the length of Runway 18L before takeoff
just to check for teenage parkers or other 'wildlife' - never found any.
During 4 years flying my Cessna 140 plus Piper Cubs, Aero Commanders twins, Commander Larks & Darters,
Luscombes, Mooneys, Cherokee 140s & 180s, and the process of earning my Commercial Pilot rating flying my Cessna 140,
I'll bet I made hundreds of takeoffs & landings at Highway 77 Airport - a great time in my life.
There were 5 runways & I used them all.”
Vic Moreland recalled, “I got my license at the 77 Airport in 1967...Paul Camp owned the facility there.”
The 1968 USGS topo map depicted “Hi Way Airport” in an unchanged manner.
Jerry Brown recalled, “My Civil Air Patrol squadron based its aircraft at Highway 77 Airport.
My multi-engine check ride was done by Paul Foster in a 150hp Piper Apache off of Hi-Way 77.”
The 1969 DFW Sectional Chart (courtesy of Ron Myres) depicted the Highway 77 Airport as having a 4,800' unpaved runway.
Russ Riley recalled, “ I called it the 'Riley Airport' because it had that name written across one of the hangars back in the late 1960s & 1970s”
The 1970 TX Airport Directory (courtesy of Ray Brindle) depicted the Highway 77 Airport
in basically an unchanged configuration.
Ray Brindle recalled, "It was the airport that separated the men from the boys.
There was a huge billboard at both ends & the telephone lines running parallel to I-35E were 20 feet to your left on a south final.
If you did a touch & go, you had a large pucker factor because you had to clear the billboard on final,
touch down, clean it up, accelerate & climb over huge billboard on departure.
I didn't know squat about Vx or Vy, but I sure knew how to clear a 50' obstacle in real life.
Not a good place for students on a hot Texas day."
Highway 77 Airport was evidently closed at some point between 1970-71,
as it was no longer depicted on the July 1971 Dallas Sectional Chart (courtesy of Ron Plante).
Ben Hendricks recalled, “Lou Foote Airport... my parents bought a travel trailer at this location in the early 1970s.
I remember the hanger that said Riley’s... I believe that was the name of the trailer dealership.”
In a 1972 aerial view, Runway 17L/35R no longer appeared to be in use.
The airport appeared to be on its last legs, with only 2 aircraft visible on the field,
and construction equipment clustered around the 2 remaining hangars.
It was labeled “Hi Way Airport (Abandoned)” on the 1974 USGS topo map,
but was otherwise depicted in an unchanged configuration,
Highway 77 Airport appeared abandoned in a 1979 aerial photo, with no aircraft visible on the field.
The 2 hangars remained standing, but the runways were noticeably deteriorated.
Of the airport's closure, Ray Brindle noted "It was one of those deals that closed the airport but the industrial park never happened."
Highway 77 Airport was still depicted on a 1979 AAA DFW road map,
but that does not necessarily indicate that it was still open at that point.
According to RC Roark, "It seems like in the late 1970s or 1980s, after the airport closed down, the hangar was used by some kind of pallet company.
I don't recall any name, just a gigantic stack of wooden pallets next to the hangar, higher, longer & wider than the hangar itself."
The 1981 USGS topo map labeled the Highway 77 Airport site as "De Soto Industrial Park"
(which never happened, making the airport's closure pointless).
The outline of 2 north/south runways was still depicted, underneath the "Industrial Park" label, ironically.
Note that the topo map still depicted a surveying marker labeled "Loufoote" at the northeast corner of the former airfield property,
named after the founder of the former airport.
Dennis Merrell recalled, “Lew Foote Field... I operated an Ultralight [aircraft] training school at this strip [in the] early- to mid-1980s.
I remember an old timer stopping in & saying that the ghost of Lew Foote would be proud of me.
I had no idea to what he was referring to. Thanks for clearing this up.
Airsports Aviation was the last operator of this old hangar & grass strip.”
A 1989 aerial view showed that the last 2 hangars had been removed at some point between 1979-89,
and a road had been cut through the center of the former airfield.
The outline of the former runways were no longer apparent.
Highway 77 Airport was no longer depicted on the 1998 DFW Terminal Aeronautical Chart (courtesy of Ron Plante).
A 2003 photo by Ray Brindle, looking south down along the former Runway 18.
The billboards on the side were not there when it was open, just one at both ends.
A 2003 photo by Ray Brindle of the area where hangar once stood, now mostly a trash dump.
Ray Brindle observed, "There are remnants of the main hangar still there at the corner of Danieldale & I-35E service road."
A 2003 photo by Ray Brindle, looking south down the end of the former Runway 18.
The runway is now cut by a street but the billboard at the end of the former Runway 18 is still being used.
Ray Brindle observed, "The 2 billboards that used to terrify student pilots are still at both ends of the old runways.”
A 2015 aerial view shows the site of Highway 77 Airport has been covered by several large buildings.
The site of Highway 77 Airport is located southwest of the intersection of Interstate 35 & Danieldale Road.
Hensley Field / Dallas Naval Air Station (7TX2), Dallas TX
32.74, -96.969 (Southeast of DFW Airport, TX)
A letter with a postmark commemorating the “Visit of 675 First Air Corps, May 12-14, Hensley Field, Dallas TX 1931” (courtesy of Marshall Morgan).
According to the text of a TX Historical Commission historic sign, “The city of Dallas purchased land at this site in 1928 & leased it to the U.S. Army for a training airfield,
as Love Field had become too busy to provide safe facilities for training.
The field was named for Major William Hensley, an air officer for the 8th Corps Army Area who helped select the base site before his death.
Army air operations were moved here from Love Field, and Hensley Field became the center of all area Army air training operations & a key repair & refueling point in the southwest.”
A letter with a postmark commemorated the “Visit of 675 First Air Corps, May 12-14, Hensley Field, Dallas TX 1931” (courtesy of Marshall Morgan).
The earliest depiction which has been located of Hensley Field was on the 1932 Dallas Sectional Chart (courtesy of Scott O'Donnell).
The earliest photo which has been located of Hensley Field was a circa 1930s aerial view looking southwest (courtesy of Nathan Clay).
It depicted 4 biplanes parked on the east side of a north/south grass runway, with a single hangar & several smaller buildings on the east side.
A circa 1930s photo of 7 Boeing F4B-1 fighters of Navy Fighter Squadron VF-5B visiting Hensley Field (courtesy of Nathan Clay).
A 7/25/40 aerial view looking northeast depicted Hensley Field as having 4 paved runways, with hangars & ramps on the northeast side,
a considerable expansion in the runway configuration compared to the 1930s photo.
Note that the North American Aircraft plant had yet to be built on the northwest side.
On 9/28/40 the Federal Government's Defense Plant Corporation built a large aircraft manufacturing plant on the northwest corner of Hensley Field
which was operated by the North American Aircraft Corporation, designated their Plant A.
This million square foot plant was built specifically for the production of AT-6 (SNJ) as a Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant.
Plant A's production commenced in March of 1941.
North American's Dallas facility employed a total of 39,000 workers at its height.

A circa 1941 advertisement for Hensley Field's North American factory, noting its amazing transformation “From plain to planes in 120 days.”
According to Wikipedia, “At the beginning of World War II, the Army extended their lease to 40 years.
In March 1941, the Navy began maintaining operations at the base & shortly afterward established a naval reserve training base on 160 acres adjacent to Hensley Field.”

"Hensley" was depicted as a military airfield on the February & September 1942 Dallas Sectional Charts (courtesy of Chris Kennedy).
A 1942 aerial view looking west (National Archives photo) depicted Hensley Field as having 4 paved runways,
with hangars & ramps on the northeast & southeast sides, and the North American Aircraft plant on the northwest side.
"Location of Outlying Primary Landing Fields, US Naval Reserve Aviation Base, Dallas, TX", 1942 (courtesy of John Voss).
To support training at Dallas NAS, by 1942 the field had a total of 20 Outlying Landing Fields.
Five of these fields were paved, including Five-Point NOLF (labeled "Baker-Mansfield" on the map above), Mansfield NOLF,
Arlington NOLF (labeled "Tarrant" on the map above), and Grand Prairie NOLF.
The other fields were: Tower (later reused as the new Grand Prairie Municipal Airport), Webb, Britton, Polo, Silo, Wilson,
Lake, Midlothian, Pleasant Valley, Cedar Hill, Grover, De Soto, Duncanville, Rock Pile, and Hampton.
The Naval facility was renamed Dallas Naval Air Station in 1943.

The Army Air Forces used their portion of Hensley Field for the training of ferry pilots during WW2,
and later used the field to store surplus aircraft following the end of the war.
North American's Plant A produced a total of 12,967 AT-6s, 4,552 P-51s, and 299 F-6s during WW2.
The 1945 AAF Airfield Directory (courtesy of Scott Murdock) described Hensley Field
as a 638 acre irregularly-shaped property having 3 concrete 5,200' runways.
The field was said to have 3 metal hangars, the largest measuring 200' x 130'.
After the end of the Second World War, the former AAF facilities at the northeast corner
were eventually taken over by the Texas Air National Guard.
The primary runway was expanded to its ultimate size of 8,000' in 1952
to support the arrival of the field's first jet aircraft, the FH-1 Phantom.
In 1945, the North American Aviation plant adjacent to the field was deactivated.
In 1945, several North American employees left the company
to form their own venture, the Texas Engineering & Manufacturing Company (TEMCO).
This new firm used the former North American Aviation plant,
and specialized in airframe-oriented efforts such as subcontract manufacturing of aircraft assemblies,
general aircraft overhaul, aircraft conversion & other special modifications.
TEMCO built Globe Swifts under a license from nearby Globe Aircraft Company in Fort Worth,
as well as other small civil & military aircraft.
Production of the Swift ramped up very quickly, but the Globe Aircraft Company soon dissolved after running into business difficulties.
TEMCO obtained rights to the Swift as payment for money owned them by Globe,
and all parts & production tooling for the Swift were transferred from Globe to the TEMCO Grand Prairie plant.
For more information on TEMCO, see: http://www.napanet.net/~arbeau/swift/conder.htm
TEMCO enjoyed a rapid expansion with its military contracts,
involving production of 400 C-82 subassemblies & 200 F-24 subassemblies for Fairchild Aircraft Company.
After the firm acquired additional facilities in Greenville, the Grand Prairie plant focused primarily on Navy programs.
The next occupant of the Grand Prairie aircraft plant was Vought.
In 1946, the government attempted to interest prime aircraft contractors located in congested pre-war plants
to relocate to the more modern facilities constructed during the war.
The Chance Vought Aircraft plant at Stratford was one of the first plants the government contacted.
An undated aerial view looking northwest at Dallas NAS from the 9/47 Naval Aviation News,
showing the field still in its WW2 runway configuration.
The January 1948 Dallas Local Aeronautical Chart depicted “Hensley (Army)” as having 3 paved runways, with the longest being 5,200'.
In 1948, the Navy announced that Chance Vought would move its entire operation to the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant in Dallas, Texas.
The move was completed by mid 1949 – the largest industrial move of its kind up to that time.
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer announced a film would be made of the historic move.
The movie, to be entitled "Yankee in Texas" with Spencer Tracy,
never came off as political pressure led by Connecticut’s governor, Chester Bowles,
sought to stop the unfavorable publicity he felt this exposure would give their state.
Twenty-seven million pounds of equipment & 1,300 key personnel & their families were moved the 1,700 miles during 1948-49.
A circa 1949-50s photo of F4U Corsair fighters on the Vought Hensley Field assembly line (courtesy of Nathan Clay).
In the 1950s, the Vought plant was expanded, and additional facilities were constructed, including several wind tunnels.
Hensley's Runway 17/35 was evidently lengthened to 8,000' at this time to support jet operations.

A 1952-53 aerial view (courtesy of Nathan Clay) looking northwest at 2 Vought F7U-1 Cutlasses of the Blue Angels overflying their home at at Hensley Field.
These 2 Cutlasses had a very brief service with the Blue Angels: being delivered in 1952, and withdrawn the next year, being sent to NAS Memphis to become ground maintenance instructional airframes.
A 5/5/53 photo of Vought F7U-1 Cutlass fighters on the Vought Hensley Field ramp (courtesy of Nathan Clay).
Aircraft manufactured at Dallas by Vought in the 1950s included the F4U Corsair, the F7U Cutlass, the Regulus I missile, and the F8U Crusader.
From a post-WW2 low of 3,600, employment increased to 17,000 by 1957.
A total of 1,263 F-8 Crusaders were eventually built in Dallas.

A 1958 aerial view showed a large number of F8U Crusaders awaiting delivery on the Vought ramp,
as well as large number of aircraft (Fairchild R4Q transports & fighter aircraft) on Hensley's northwest ramp.
A 1958 aerial view showed a large number of multi-engine & tactical aircraft on Hensley's east ramp.
The 1959 USGS topo map depicted “Dallas Naval Air Station (Hensley Field)”
having having 3 paved runways, taxiways, hangars, and factory buildings.
A circa 1950s-60s photo of North American F-86D-41-NA & F-86D-36 Sabre Dogs of the TX Air National Guard's 181st Air Defense Squadron at Hensley,
with several C-119s & T-33s also visible in the background.
As depicted in the 1960 Jeppesen Airway Manual (courtesy of Chris Kennedy),
the airfield at NAS Dallas consisted of 2 paved runways: an 8,000' Runway 17/35 & a 5,200' Runway 13/31
(the former northeast/southwest runway had evidently been closed).
A large number of taxiways, hangars, and factory buildings were also depicted.
A July 1960 photo by Darrell Crosby of 2 North American F-86L Sabres in air defense alert shelters at NAS Dallas.
Darrell recalled, “I was there for the National Model Airplane Championships.
During the day the base would be closed between 8AM-5PM & if anything flew it was these F-86Ls that were fully armed with air-to-air rockets.
The Air Guard commander let me take photos of the F-86Ls but told me to not get near the planes with 3 day-glow strips of tape on the side
for that indicated that they were fully armed for intercept.”

A beautiful sunset July 1960 photo by Darrell Crosby of a Vought F8U-2 Crusader at Hensley Field.
John Price recalled, “Hensley Field / NAS Dallas: I was in the Naval Air Reserve here in the 1960s.
We were flying C-118Bs. The Air National Guard was across the field flying KC-97s.”
In addition to the F-8 Crusader, the Dallas facility produced its cousin, the A-7 Corsair.
The first A-7 flew in 1965, and the type went on to see widespread service with the Navy, Air Force, and foreign militaries.
A 1966 photo of A-7s coming down the Vought assembly line.
The July 1971 Dallas Sectional Chart Dallas inset (courtesy of Ron Plante)
depicted NAS Dallas as having 3 paved runways, with the longest being 8,000'.
A 1972 aerial view showed a stark difference in the level of activity noticeable on the northwest ramp (near Vought),
as compared to the 1958 photo.
Only a few aircraft were visible on the entire northwest ramp.
The 1972 photo also showed that a new ramp had been built at some point between 1960-72 on the northeast portion of the base,
effectively ending any use of the former northeast/southwest runway.
A 10/19/75 photo by R.A. Scholefield of Navy Reserve VF-201 “Red Raiders” Vought F-8H Crusader 147055 C/n 797 in front of an NAS Dallas hangar.
A 12/14/75 photo of a row of pretty VF-201 Vought F-8H Crusaders on the NAS Dallas flight line.
Ted Waldron (the former ANG Facility Manager at Hensley Field) recalled,
"I was on Hensley Field from 1975-93 & saw quite a few changes to the base, especially in the ANG.
During that time we got rid of all the WW2 buildings on the ANG side."
On a 1979 aerial view, not a single aircraft was visible on the entire northwest ramp,
indicating the decrease in the level of activity at the Vought factory.
A 3/10/79 photo by David Lednicer of an ex US Navy F-8H Crusader awaiting delivery to the Philippine Air Force inside a Vought hangar at Hensley.
The 1979 aerial photo also showed the new facilities that had been constructed at some point between 1972-79
on the southwest side of the field for TX Army National Guard helicopter operations, including new taxiways, ramps, and hangars.
It also appeared as if Runway 13/31 was no longer active, as aircraft were parked on the southeast end,
effectively leaving the field with only one active runway.
A 1981 photo of a Douglas EF-1B Skyknight at Hensley Field.
A 1981 photo by Gregory Carroll of an FG-1D Corsair & A-7 Corsair II at Hensley Field (courtesy of Nathan Clay).
The Corsair had completed a 6-year restoration by Vought employees, and was flown by LTV Chairman Paul Thayer.
Connery Carroll recalled, “This photo was taken by my father, Gregory Carroll when he ran the photo lab at Vought.
He said that while he was taking pictures, he saw the A-7 rolling by & waited to get it framed perfectly for this shot.”
A March 1981 photo of a Navy DC-130A Hercules drone carrier aircraft at Vought's facilities on Hensley Field.
A-7 Corsair production ended in 1984, by which point the Dallas facility had produced 1,569 of the attack jet.
The A-7 was the last complete aircraft to be produced in volume at the Dallas facility -
all subsequent Vought Dallas production centered on aircraft structural components subcontracted for other manufacturers.
In the 1980s, Dallas NAS was host to many different squadrons of the Navy & Marine Corps Reserve & Army National Guard.
In 1988 it was announced that LTV (Vought) was a major production subcontractor on the Northtop B-2 Stealth Bomber, designing & producing the intermediate wing section.
LTV also designed the installation of all systems in the intermediate section.
Twenty one ship sets of the intermediate wing section were built & shipped by C-5 Galaxy to Palmdale, CA, for final assembly.

As part of the Base Closure Act of 1993, Dallas NAS was closed,
and the various reserve squadrons were moved to the former Carswell AFB in Fort Worth, which was renamed Fort Worth NAS.
Ted Waldron (the former ANG Facility Manager at Hensley Field) recalled, “NAS proper still had many WW2 buildings, with face-lifts, when the base closed."
The final B-2 Stealth Bomber intermediate wing section was delivered by LTV to Palmdale on 3/17/94.

The last photo which has been located showing a fixed-wing aircraft at Hensley Field was a September 1994 photo of an FMA IA-63 Pampa II landing.
The Pampa was Vought Aircraft's unsuccessful entry into the U.S. Joint Primary Aircraft Training System competition.
However “NAS Dallas Hensley” was still depicted on the January 1995 DFW Terminal Area Chart.

The last aeronautical chart depiction which has been located of Hensley Field as an active fixed-wing airfield
was on the 1998 DFW Terminal Aeronautical Chart (courtesy of Ron Plante).
It depicted NAS Dallas Hensley as having 2 paved runways, with the longest being 8,000'.
In 2000 the TX Historical Commission erected a historic sign commemorating Hensley Field.
A 2002 aerial view by Paul Freeman looking southwest at Hensley Field.
After NAS Dallas was closed by the military, an attempt was made to reuse the field for business aviation.
As of 2002, although still publicly owned, the former NAS Dallas airfield was operated by a private company as "Millennium Dallas Airport".
One of the former Texas ANG hangars on the northeast corner was modernized by the company,
and was being operated as a terminal catering to business aviation.
Runway 17/35 (8,000' long) was maintained as the sole active runway.
Although the Naval Air Station has officially closed, military aviation continues to be represented on the site by the TX Army National Guard,
which (as of 2002) continued to operate CH-47 Chinook helicopters
from their facility which sits somewhat isolated from the rest of the airfield on the southwest corner of the base.
The Texas ANG also hosts a deployed unit of the Royal Singaporean Air Force, under the project name "Peace Prairie",
at which pilots of the RSAF are trained in Chinook operations.

A 2002 photo by Paul Freeman of another former Navy administration building, now also abandoned & overgrown.
Paul Freeman visited the former Dallas NAS site in 2002, to find it a very strange (and sad) sight.
Only portions of the base are still in active use, while the majority of the expansive infrastructure (paid for at great cost by the taxpayers) has been left to completely decay.
In addition to many large hangars, there are entire blocks of the former base office & housing areas in which many large buildings
have been left to the weeds which have taken them over.
Some of these buildings are of relatively recent construction (like what is obviously recognizable as the former base MacDonald's restaurant!).
It is disgraceful that the local politicians have not taken advantage of this base's closure,
and taken more active steps to see that the properties are reused
for some constructive purpose by private industry or local government.
A 2002 photo by Paul Freeman of some of the numerous hangars which still stand
on what has become the Vought Aircraft factory property, as well as the Vought control tower.
The Vought Aircraft Industries factory is still in operation on the northwest corner of the airfield,
but has not built complete aircraft since the production of the A-7 series came to an end (in the early 1980s?).
Today, the Vought plant produces aircraft structures under subcontract for Boeing & other aircraft manufacturers,
for aircraft including the Bell/Boeing MV-22B Osprey, F-22, C-130, C-17, and the Global Hawk.
A large number of hangars still exist on the Vought property,
leftovers from the days when the factory built & delivered thousands of aircraft from the Dallas location.
At some point between 2002-03, the attempt to reuse the former NAS Dallas as a business aviation airfield
("Millennium Dallas Airport") apparently failed, as the airfield was closed once again,
and depicted on the 2003 Sectional Chart as an abandoned airfield.
Gregg Smith reported of Millennium, “They never made their first rent payment to Dallas & everything sunk into lawsuits.”
Hensley Field's history of 70 years as an airfield had apparently come to an end, for the time being.
In 2004, news reports indicated that the Vought company had obtained a long-term extension
to their occupancy of the plant adjacent to Hensley Field,
and that part of the deal was the possibility of reopening the closed Hensley Field runway,
to facilitate air shipments of large aerostructures.
Vought's Gregg Smith reported in 2005, “Hensley Field Runway 17/35 will reopen in the Summer of 2005.
DMJM Aviation, under contract to the City of Dallas, has completed the A/E work & construction bids have been received.
I expect a construction contract will be authorized in the next several weeks, with a first VFR flight in June of 2005.
The ILS system will be operational by the fall. We intend to deliver structures via C-17s & C-5s.”
Christopher Trott reported in March 2005, “I went by NAS Dallas today.
The City of Dallas recently approved a $500,000 appropriation for the replacement of the roof
on Buildings 25, 26, and 27 in addition to other 'reconstruction' activities
From the wording of the City Council notes, it appears that the airfield will maintain its status as such
and that they will continue to maintain the lighting system
(I saw several vehicles from the City of Dallas at the threshold lights for Runway 18 doing maintenance).
With the reconstruction of some of the buildings directly off Jefferson (north end of the field, across from Vought)
I believe that they may be preparing the entire facility for re-occupation by various companies.”

A 2015 aerial view looking south at the massive aviation facilities of the former Hensley Field.
What a shame to see this massive amount of taxpayer-funded aviation infrastructure going to waste.
In 2018, Nathan Clay reported, “Recently the runway has been getting used as an overflow parking lot for the nearby car manufacturers/car dealers etc.
But this event [the DallasHalfMile auto race] is the only time I’ve seen the runway actually used for anything quasi beneficial or fun for the community since the 1993 airshow.”
An undated image of proposed dense housing which could cover the site of Hensley Field (courtesy of Nathan Clay).
What a shame it would be to see the massive amount of aviation infrastructure (paid for by the taxpayers) all removed.
Nathan Clay reported in 2022, “Home Depot is using the former NAA/LTV buildings as a distribution center.
Dallas city planners are working to repurpose the rest of the airfield, adding waterfront businesses, restaurants, apartments, marina
and convert the Base Commander’s Quarters to a museum & use the hangars for a brew pub or open-air market etc.”
