Travel Bank and Forms of Payment
What is Travel Bank?
Travel Bank is a new account that keeps your flight credits in a safe place for future flights. This tool will replace our current system of credit shells, vouchers and ticket credits. If you don't wish to pay with Travel Bank credits, simply choose your preferred method of payment in the "Complete Payment" section.
Why are there multiple charges on my bank account statement for a booking I made with Virgin Australia?
Under our new booking and check-in system, SabreSonic CSS, the way your purchases appear on your bank account statements for bookings made with Virgin Australia have changed.
Amex & Diners
Guests wishing to pay using American Express or Diners Club should note that each item associated with your booking will be charged on a separate line. This may include individual fares, extra baggage purchases and any other fees and charges associated with the booking. The total amount charged will be displayed prior to your transaction being processed. There is no change to the total amount charged on the way in which it is represented on your bank statement.
If you have any questions regarding multiple charges on your bank statement, please email email@example.com or contact the Guest Contact Centre on 13 67 89.

Travel Bank credits can be used towards any Virgin Australia booking with the exception of Blue Holiday Packages. Travel Bank credits can also be used to pay for fare differences and change fees. Travel Bank credits are valid for 12 months from date of issue. Once individual credits expire they cannot be extended. Travel Bank also applies credit for payment based on expiration dates, so you can make sure you are paying with the credits that are due to expire first.

The calcitonin blood test measures the level of the hormone calcitonin in the blood.
A blood sample is needed.
There is usually no special preparation needed.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. This soon goes away.
Calcitonin is a hormone produced in C cells of the thyroid gland. Calcitonin helps control the building of bone.
The doctor may order a calcitonin test when you have symptoms of medullary cancer of the thyroid or MEN syndrome , or a family history of these conditions. Calcitonin may also be higher in other tumors, such as:
A normal value is less than 10 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).
Women and men can have different normal values. Sometimes, calcitonin in the blood is checked several times after you are given a shot (injection) of a special medicine.
You will need this extra test if your baseline calcitonin is normal, but your doctor suspects you have medullary cancer of the thyroid.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher-than-normal level may indicate:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

Caln in Chester County in Pensilvania
the 6th. of ye. 2nd. month 1732
Dear Uncles
Thomas & Joshua Pim /
I wrote to my Bror. John &c the 17th. of last mo: aqt.ing them of a great alteration in my ffamily, wch. letter I supose went in a ship just then ready to sail to Ireland and now I acquaint you that it hath pleased Divine Providence to remove my wife from me by Death, She was taken Ill of (that Dreadfull distemper) the smallpox about the 4th. of last moth: & departed in the night between the 14th. & 15th. of ye. same being Sorely afflicted wth. the distemper, but verry sencible all the time & I hope made good use of sd. time, often praying & praising God, & tho: in the time of her health she did not seem as fully as I cou'd a wisht to Joyn wth. ffrds. (tho she- went to no other worship that I know off since we came here but severall times to ffriends meetings) yet in her Illness she was desirous of the company of sollid ffrds & severall of such did visit her & I think are generally in good hopes that she Dyed in Peace & I believe few who knew her here were streangers to her former circumstance for my part I did not endeavour to conceall the truth from Honest ffriends, and before I pesumed to appoint her buriall I requested leave of ffriends to Bury her in their ground, which was soe readily granted that they told me they thought it needless to ask it, phaps you may desire to know wt. I recd of the debt due to me I cannot say yt. I recd. none tho: (I thought more was due,) for Just at last, she desired it might be forgot or forgiven wch. I think implyed some acknowledgment I think for above a year past she grew the most sollid & sober yt. I have known her at all – & I cannot but admire how much her loss is lamented in this neighbourhood, for she was a verry oblieging neighbour & skillfull in many things
I mentioned to my Bror. &c [---] [---] of the Illness of my youngest Child, we thought it was dying the next day after its mothers death, yet it continued for fifteen days longer for the most pt. in great extremity & then Died, wch. long Illness I believe helped to wean me from it, soe that its Death did not affect me soe much as I believe it wd. if it had a died soon, for it was a verry pleasant Child, it was 7 months old when it fell sick
I mentioned in a former letter to my Brother the Death of my servant Jo: Gavin who was the first of my ffamily who was taken Ill, & Died about a week or 6 days before the next began my ffamily then consisted of 12 psons (i:e: before this sickness) whereof 7 was to have it, & of the 7: 3 is dead, wch. we may conclude was a great stroake, tho: I may tell you that it does not yet seem soe hard for me to bear as wt. I formerly bore, but the Death of my poor wife seemd a greater exercise than I expected it wd. a been, however I still endeavour to be patient & content wth. what Providence permits to be my lot in this troublsom world
I am through [meny] greatly favoured wth. Health & my five Children are now pitty well tho: my Son Thos. has had a hard time & a narrow escape with his life thro: the smallpox
I have been verry well furnisht with good neighbours during this trouble pticularly Thos. M.cChuns wife (being a nurse) did not see her own house for two weeks of the time of my poor Babes Illness, I have this comfort that my poor Children seems verry to'rdly, & my Dtr. Sarah considering her age verry pitty as to her knowledge in the way of Houskeeping, & on her and my maid Mary Turner. I think that pt. must pitty much depend at [pesant]
now Dear Uncles I shall use some further freedom wth. you, this Cheange in my ffamily ocasions many thoughts in my mind, one whereof is to this purpose that since the cause of my leaving you, my ffriends, & my native Country, is now remov'd, why shou'd not I return there again, least I shou'd be taken from my Children & they left more destitute a mong streangers, but in answer to that, can I think that I should be brought all the way to this remote pt. of the world for no other end than to bury my wife, this Country I find more agreeable to my Health (else it is wth. working harder) this Country also is governed by more agreeable Laws than that here are plenty of good ffriends (tho: not my near Relations) who I believe wd. take care of my Children were I taken from them, & phaps I may have opptunity to [---] be of more servis here than there, & thu---] reasoni--] concerning wch. I desire your sollid Consideration & answer as [---] as Possible

Over "there", it seems to strike me that there is no real continuum of thought (or responsibility)...so you end up with a lot of (but not all) "posers" trying to interject their one second sound bite of fame.
I've never really understood the whole "slice" vs pizzamaking comparison . The two are completely different websites serving two different purposes/perspectives. Both are valuable in their own way. What I noticed recently was an incident where someone who frequents both sites posted comments on Slice and then start up thread here about how they "blasted" Slice. This, somewhat predictably, led to negative reactions on both sites.
Peter you wrote in August 26, 2012 : I suggest that new members pose their questions and requests for help in the main part of the forum rather than in their introductory posts, which are best reserved for introducing the members to the the rest of the membership.In all actuality we both have been doing that for a longer period of time. Whether you or I reply with a similar message I have yet to see that happen. Over the summer I can't recall a single instance where people have followed that recommendation. Most recent memory was a request for a Cassano's clone, not one follow up was ever posted to the general boards that I know of. Just the way it goes.........Regards, Don
Peter, look in the rear-view mirror and look who's tailgating your hinder and getting ready to pass you, like you don't know anyway. Norma's going to run you down and in 3 years
Jon,Yes, I have noticed Norma approaching in the rear view mirror. At one point, for laughs, I was even going to do some calculations, based on current posting volumes, as to when she would actually pass me, just as Craig did. However, the metric that I use is not numbers of posts, but rather the total number of words in all of the posts . Peter
What a geek Jon
PS....Norma you are AMAZING, where do you find the time between work, blog and here??? Whatever drug, diet, program, guru you're on I want some of that Jon

If you can't find your blog or are seeing an error page, we're here to help. There are several common reasons for a blog disappearing, and we'll walk you through each one and how to resolve the problem.
Accidental deletion
- Possible reason: Double check that you or a team member didn't delete your blog by accident.
- What you can do: On your Blogger dashboard, look for and click on the "Deleted blogs" link, and undelete the blog. If your blog hasn't been recently deleted by you or a team member, you won't see this link. Once you select the undelete option, everything will return to normal.
Custom domain settings
- Possible reason: Blogs that are published with a custom domain need to have correct DNS settings in order to appear online.

If you've reached a generic 404 page, however, you should double check your custom domain settings.
- What you can do: Make sure you've correctly configured your DNS settings.
Search visibility settings
- Possible reason: Your blog won't appear in search results if you've set a preference to exclude it from search engines.
- What you can do: Go to privacy section under your Settings tab, and change your search engine settings. If you've already allowed search engines to find your blog, remember that recently changed URLs, recently undeleted blogs, and other changes in privacy settings can cause delays in re-indexing.

The Tentacled Temptations of Technology
I sit down in front of my computer, open Scrivener, and start to write.
There's an illustration I want to use in my article, but I'm not quite sure it'll work. I type in "How does an octopus kill a shark?" Google directs me to this National Geographic clip and I get to see exactly how an octopus kills a shark. But, then I see "Cobra vs. Mongoose" in the sidebar of related videos. How can any self-respecting man not click that link? After watching a few more animals put UFC fighting to shame, I post the Octopus vs. Shark video to my Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest (still self-respecting, mostly) accounts. A few minutes later, my phone buzzes with the approval of our digital generation: comments, likes, retweets, reposts, and repins.
Then I get a text message from a friend:
Are you watching the game that's on right now?
No. I'm working.
On what?
I don't remember.
While parts of this story are wholly fabricated, it could go on. For me, it usually does and it often results in finding memes that make me laugh before they make me cry at my own inability to get things done. In other words, I'm the shark. Technology is the octopus.
For all of its wondrous benefits to humanity, technology wreaks havoc on our lives in deceptively simple ways. It interrupts our workflow. It conditions us in subtle, negative ways. Most detrimentally to artists, it steals our time.
But we can't pull the plug. Staying connected via social media is imperative, especially for a writer, artist, or musician who wants people to actually read, see, hear, or interact with their work. The Internet allows us to conduct research with the collected wisdom of the world at our fingertips. We can connect with friends and family to help keep us grounded and sane.
So, how can we stay online and yet still produce good work? How can we interact with our audience via social media without losing hours to frivolous pursuits?
Fast from Technology for a Week
Maybe this means no social networking, or no TV or radio. Pick the issue you may have the most attachment. Keep track of what you're able to accomplish in the time you would have otherwise been playing video games, watching movies, or mindlessly browsing the Internet. Take note of the emotions you feel by having to give up a certain technological aspect of your life. Was it ever really necessary in the first place? If it was, can you still use it meaningfully, but maybe not as much?
For instance, a co-worker and I recently attended a preview screening of The Hunger Games. Prior to entrance into the theater, we purposefully left our phones in the car since they were going to be confiscated if we took them in. Much to our chagrin, we arrived thirty minutes early. Bereft of our constant connections to the Internet, we actually had to talk to each other. While I make light of this situation, I noticed how much I wanted to check my phone during lengthy pauses in the conversation, a sure sign I would benefit greatly from a much-elongated technological fast. Like all self-help groups will tell you, admitting you have a problem is the first step toward finding the solution. While I missed out on the instant gratification of the #jerk and #jealous replies of my Twitter followers who'd seen my last update on attending that screening, I actually got to know my co-worker better.
Establish a No-Distraction Time
Turn off your notifications. Don't open your email. Mute your phone. If others may be impacted by your digital darkness, let them know ahead of time you'll be unavailable at a certain hour on certain days. Focus on one project during this time.
Alternatively, you may want to try the Pomodoro Technique if you have multiple, long projects or get distracted too easily. Simply put, the Pomodoro Technique asks you to commit a mere 25 minutes to working on any single task. When a timer rings signaling the end of the 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break. This method can be especially useful for troublesome projects or when you arrive at an impasse in your work. Have you ever experienced a mental breakthrough in a strange place, like your shower or while in casual conversation? The Pomodoro Technique encourages making space for these liminal moments.
While I don't often have difficulty in focusing on one task, it's a challenge for me to take a break from engrossing work. When I'm writing and feel as if an article is flowing well, I want to keep writing until I know the article is finished, even if that means I've spent 1-2 additional hours on a piece instead of attending to more pressing matters. Establishing a strict no-distraction time would greatly help my struggling discipline as a writer as well as let my words breathe longer instead of lacerating them with a quick editorial strike while I'm still working on a first draft. Recently, I've taken to writing a first draft, waiting a few days without thinking about the article (allowing for that liminal space), then coming back to the article to edit it. This may be common practice for you already, but it has helped me tremendously, even if my modified Pomodoro Technique may take the form of working for three hours, waiting 72 hours, then coming back to the same project.
Find Software That Helps
I use Wordpress as my blogging platform and the afore-mentioned Scrivener as my all-purpose desktop writing app of choice because both have full-screen edit modes that allow a writer to be left with only a blank screen, a blinking cursor, and their own thoughts. Other apps also exist that can help eliminate distraction while working on your computer. If you're an obsessive Twitter user, consider software like Buffer or Hootsuite that allows you to queue your tweets.
Additionally, I use Evernote to capture article ideas when they come to me. Some people may even use . . . a pen and paper. Either way, getting the idea into writing as soon as possible helps get the thought out of my head so that I'm not percolating on it to the detriment of any work that's required of me in the present moment. By using such a multi-platform, cloud-synced, easily-searchable, notes-capturing application, I can rest assured that a brilliant article idea on LOLcats vs. ROFLdogs is patiently waiting for my late-night additions, revisions, or, likely, deletions.
Regardless of the software that you use, find a system that works to cut down on every tentacle threatening to strangle the creative life out of you.
Kill the Octopus
Unless you suffer from severe technology addiction, you don't look at your phone every two minutes while on a date (at least with someone you like). Your date demands your focus and you should gladly give it to them. Maybe one of the reasons we allow ourselves to become so easily distracted from creating is that we're not as invested in our art as we thought. Consumption is easy; creation is work.
And yes, I'm fully aware of the irony in writing an article about taking a step back from technology while simultaneously referencing YouTube videos, internet memes, and social networks. As is often the case with writers, this is a letter to myself.
What do you do to keep the tantalizing tentacles of technology at bay? Feel free to post your ideas and/or approach in the comment section below.

Conservation will shortly be starting a multi-year project to address salt contamination in its Central and South American Archaeological Ceramics. A condition survey identified those ceramics exhibiting deterioration from soluble salts. Stabilization will be achieved through the removal of the salts.
The Field Museum holds outstanding collections of well documented archaeological ceramics. Those from the Southern Andes for example, are a primary research resource for anthropologists, human biologists, and archaeologists. The 1925 and 1926 collections from Peru by noted anthropologist Alfred Kroeber are some of the most important in the world due to the excellent scientific context and state of preservation. The Kroeber collection from the Lima and Canete Valleys represents important material of the Lima, Wari, and Inca cultures. They shed light on the Lima culture, a little known but important part of Andean prehistory contemporary with the Ancient Nazca, and are a key collection for understanding the relationship between local groups and imperial colonizers during the Wari and Inca periods. Other important southern Andean ceramic collections include the G. A. Dorsey collection from Ancon, scientifically excavated in 1891, documenting late Wari, late Intermediate, and Inca presence on Peru's central coast.
Contamination with water soluble ground salts, especially chloride salts, is common to archaeological materials. With fluctuations in relative humidity, these salts crystallize and rehydrate near the surface of the ceramic, causing the surface to breakup and powder or flake off. The ceramic is weakened and critical surface detail is lost. Eventually the ceramic can be lost entirely. The preservation of surface detail and ceramic body is critical to their research value, making the stabilization of these ceramics a high conservation priority for the department.
To determine the extent of the problem of salt damage, conservation recently completed a condition survey of all 15,000 ceramics in the Central and South America archaeological collections. The survey identified those ceramics, representing 23% of the collection, that exhibit deterioration from soluble salts.
The least interventive approach to addressing the problem is to store and display objects in an environment with an extremely stable relative humidity to minimize the dehydration and hydration of the salts. For structural and equipment reasons, this is not possible in the collections storeroom available in the Museum. We have successfully used microclimate enclosures for archaeological metal objects and a few large pieces of salt contaminated stucco with iron armatures; however the number and size of the unstable ceramics and the degree of access required of the collection makes microclimate enclosures unfeasible.
Stabilization will instead be achieved through the removal of the salts. Objects will be treated through a series of immersion baths in deionized water until conductivity readings indicate that no more salts are migrating into the soak bath. Severely damaged surfaces will require consolidation prior to wetting and soaking. Those that are friable or lightly flaking will be consolidated in the laboratory with an acrylic polymer resin (Acryloid B-72) applied locally or by immersion, depending on the severity and/or extent of the damage. Some ceramics are flaking so severely that they can not be moved from their storage shelf without significant loss of material. These ceramics will be consolidated in situ with molten cyclododecane wax, then moved to the laboratory for documentation and desalination. Treatment will ensure that these important objects are available to researches in future.

CPTV to Premiere "Prohibition" on Sunday, October 2
HARTFORD, Conn. (September 23, 2011) – Prohibition, a new documentary by award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, explores the true story of the rise, rule, and fall of the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Although the act was once noted as "the Noble Experiment," prohibition turned into one of America's most notorious civic disasters. Through this three-part, five-and-a-half hour documentary series, viewers can learn about the true challenges in legislating human behavior.
Prohibition premieres Sunday, October 2; Monday, October 3; and Tuesday, October 4 at 8 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV).
Prohibition begins with the story of America's growing concern about alcohol abuse in the 19th century. When the availability of hard liquor spread throughout saloons and taverns, American citizens became increasingly concerned about the effects of alcohol abuse. A culture of men who neglected their wives and children in favor of liquor emerged, and families were being destroyed. Through Prohibition, Burns and Novick capture the progression of this epidemic. The film illustrates why, at the time, many American citizens saw the 18th Amendment as a means of survival.
The documentary references relentless women, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Willard, and Carry Nation, who demanded societal change. At first, they rallied for temperance, but their fight evolved into outright prohibition. Through the passion and persistence of the Anti-Saloon League in the late 19th century, the 18th Amendment was ultimately ratified to the Constitution on January 16th, 1919. However, Prohibition illustrates how the Amendment was in no way a peaceful solution.
For the next thirteen years, the American nation was split by a fierce cultural divide. Law-abiding citizens turned into criminals, neighborhood gangs formed national crime syndicates, and government officials bent and broke their own laws. Viewers of Prohibition can see how the true irony of the 18th Amendment; while the enforcement of prohibition was intended to secure peace, it ultimately instilled violence, cynicism, and hypocrisy that made a mockery of the justice system. These ideals are still relevant today, and the fine line between individual rights and the role of government has become a timeless discrepancy.

The Role of Men and Boys in Challenging Gender in the Context of HIV and other STIs
Greening the Health Sector- Global Health Initiatives and Climate Change
According to the 2012 UNAIDS Report, the number of people living with HIV in Eastern Europe and Central Asia has almost tripled since 2001 and reached an estimated total of 1.4 million in 2011 compared with 970,000 in 2001.
AIDS-related deaths continue to rise in the region. There were an estimated 92,000 AIDS-related deaths in 2011 compared with 76,000 in 2005.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is also a significant health issue, with approximately 81,000 people in the region with drug-resistant TB (World Health Organization). Most do not receive proper diagnosis and treatment. Malaria is also a health issue that affects countries in Central Asia.
UNDP's HIV work focuses on: addressing human rights and laws, women and girls, and at risk populations such as injecting drug users, sex workers, men who have sex with men and migrants.

The 10 most viewed questions
How do you buy a ticket through the website?
Buying a ticket with Vueling is very safe and easy. Just follow these 5 steps:
- Select origin, destination, flight dates and number of passengers in the search feature.
- Choose the flight and fare that best suits your itinerary and budget.
- Enter the passenger details for the booking.
- Decide whether you wish to select any additional services for your flight: seat, insurance, special luggage, etc.
- Accept the travel conditions and make the payment for the flight (by card, through PayPal, UATP, iDeal, SOFORT, or using points from the Punto programme).
And that's it! You'll see the confirmation screen for your purchase and you'll receive an email containing the itinerary for your flights.
What does the price of the ticket depend on?
It mainly depends on three things: the fare you choose, how far in advance you buy it and how full the plane is. Basically, this means you can choose the type of ticket, the earlier you buy, the cheaper it will be, and the price of the ticket rises as the plane gets filled.
Also, you can take advantage of offers and promotions from Vueling to buy at the best price. If you want to keep informed, just sign up to our newsletter, Vuela! and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Is it advisable to take out insurance?
Of course it is! Insurance always gives greater peace of mind, as it covers any unforeseen events that may arise on your journey: illness, loss of or damage to luggage, cancellations, etc.
What's more, there are specific insurance options according to your travel needs. You can find detailed information on each insurance option for your journey in the section "Choose your insurance".
Do I get a discount if I come from a large family?
Yes, if you belong to a large family, you can benefit from a fare reduction on all domestic flights. The discount is 5% for general large families and 10% for special large families.
In order to apply this discount, simply tick the box that appears just below the Flight search feature and then select your particular case in the drop-down menu.
On the day of your flight, you must show the documents confirming you're a member of a large family at the check-in desk, or at the boarding gate if you checked in online.Remember that the large-family discount is never applicable to flights already completed.
Do I get a discount if I'm a resident of the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands or Ceuta?
Yes, if you reside on the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands or Ceuta, you can benefit from a discount both on your flight and on the first bag.
Simply tick the box that appears just below the Flight search feature and then select your particular case in the drop-down menu.
In order to receive the discount, each passenger must prove their resident status at the check-in desk or boarding gate by way of a valid civil registration document issued by my local town council or accreditation from the corresponding Chambers certifying constituency as an elected MP or Senator.
A travel document or passport will suffice as proof of ID, but not as proof of residency, and VUELING is entitled to make copies of the documentation provided and to refuse to allow the passenger to board if the company detects any deficiency or anomaly.
The discount is only applicable to flights between airports on the Spanish mainland and islands (except residents of Ceuta, who can benefit from discounts on flights between Seville or Malaga and other Spanish mainland destinations). And it's never applicable to flights already completed.
Can I buy a ticket if I don't have access to the Internet?
If you don't have access to the Internet, you can still buy a Vueling ticket. You have various options:
Whenever you need to, you can call our Customer Services and we'll make the purchase for you, (this service carries an additional cost).
You can also buy your ticket at our airport sales desk (this service carries an additional cost).Lastly, you also have the option of buying your ticket through your usual travel agent.
What are Connecting Flights and what benefits do they offer?
Connecting flights allow Vueling destinations that do not yet have direct flights to be connected via Barcelona and Rome airports.
You can travel with the peace of mind of knowing you won't have to collect your luggage at the stop-over airport, as you check it in at your airport of origin and only pick it up again at your final destination. And the same goes for your boarding pass! At your airport of origin, we also give you the boarding card for your second flight.
The length of the stop-over will depend on the flights you choose when you book.
What is check-in online?
Check-in online is the process by which you can get your boarding card (printed or on your mobile phone) via the website completely free of charge. With the Optima and Excellence fares, it's even quicker. Once you've completed your booking and upon confirmation of your purchase, you'll receive an email containing your boarding passes. That way, you'll save time on the day of your flight because, if you don't have to check in any luggage, you can go straight to the boarding gate, thus avoiding queues at the check-in desk. And if you have to check in some luggage, at Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao you have an exclusive check-in desk for those bookings already checked in online, so you won't have to queue up!
This service is available for most Vueling airports (if it's not available at your airport, you must go to the check-in desk on the day of your flight to get your boarding card). In the case of connecting flights, you can also check in online, providing the airport of origin and stop-over allows this.
How can I get an invoice for my purchase?
If you need an invoice for the purchase of your tickets, just go to the section "Request an invoice", view the pro forma invoice on the website to check that it's all ok, then request the official invoice.
The official invoice will be emailed to you within 48 hours from completing the final leg of your booking.
Can I change my tickets?
Of course! You can change the tickets up to 2 hours before departure at an additional cost (consult the cost in Supplementary Services).
You can change the date and time of the flight. To the cost of the change, you must add any difference in the total cost of the flight that may be applicable at the time the change is made (if the available fare is cheaper for the new flight, no refund will be made).
Changing the name in which the booking was made can only be done through our Customer Services, providing the first flight of a round trip ticket has not already been completed. To the cost of the change, you must add any difference in the total cost of the flight that may be applicable at the time the change is made (if the available fare is cheaper for the new flight, no refund will be made).
You can make changes up to 2 hours before your flight departs in the section "Change your flight" if it's a change of date, or you can call our Customer Services to change the date or the name of the ticket holder.
And with the Excellence Fare, you can make unlimited time and date changes to your booking via our website or by calling our Customer Services. Through this number, you can also change the name of the ticket holder. In all cases, you will have to pay any difference in the total cost of the fare at the time the change is made (if the available fare is cheaper for the new flight, no refund will be made).

Whether you're a hardcore football fan or someone who doesn't know the difference between a linebacker and a wide receiver, there's probably one aspect of game day you care particularly about: the food. From the spreads featured in homes across the country to dishes served at the stadiums' tailgate sessions, mouthwatering food is essential for football watchers. We took a cue from the cities and states that make up the NFL's roster of teams to come up with ideas for your football feast. Some are typical football food fare like pizza and wings while others are out-of-the-box ideas that will liven up your game-day banquet. No matter which team you support, you're sure to put a tick in the win column for the food.

Dependent personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people depend too much on others to meet their emotional and physical needs.
Cause of dependent personality disorder is unknown. The disorder usually begins in childhood. It is one of the most common personality disorders and is equally common in men and women.
People with this disorder do not trust their own ability to make decisions. They may be very upset by separation and loss. They may go to great lengths, even suffering abuse, to stay in a relationship.
Symptoms of dependent personality disorder may include:
Dependent personality disorder is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation that assesses the history and severity of the symptoms.
Talk therapy is considered to be the most effective treatment. The aim is to help people with this condition make more independent choices in life. Medicines may help treat other mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression, that occur along with this disorder.
Improvements are usually seen only with long-term therapy.
See your health care provider or a mental health professional if you or your child has symptoms of dependent personality disorder.

Bustin' Down the Door
During the Winter of 1975 in Hawaii, surfing was shaken to its core. A group of young surfers from Australia and South Africa sacrificed everything and put it all on the line to create a sport, a culture, and an industry that is today worth billions of dollars and has captured the imagination of the world. With a radical new approach and brash colonial attitude, these surfers crashed headlong into a culture that was not ready for revolution.

Nation Topics - Occupy Wall Street
News and Features
David Graeber's account of Occupy Wall Street is essential—and somewhat maddening in its insistence on heightening the differences between anarchists and liberals.
The documentary, starring the late Andrew Breitbart, is a deranged hodge-podge of bizarre memes, wild dot-connecting and unadulterated fury.
We spoke with organizers, union workers and students in debt who all seem to agree that Occupy isn't over.
A democratic revolution is possible—and necessary.
Contributions to our special issue on Occupy at one by artist and occupier Molly Crabapple.
Those claiming Occupy has failed already forget what other social justice sucesses have taught us: change is slow.
Occupy activists are moving debt from the personal to the political.
One year after Occupy Wall Street first shook the world, what lies ahead for the movement?
Bereft of their big tent at Zuccotti Park, activists have found a unifying theme in debt.
If Occupy evolves into a debt resistance movement, the results could be explosive.

'Frankenstein' rabbit with horns becomes Internet sensation
Published 11:24am Friday, July 12, 2013MANKATO — College student Gunnar Boettcher of Mankato, Minn., was working in the garage when he first spotted Frankenstein.
That's what he wound up calling the wild rabbit with what looks like a series of horns growing out of all parts of his head.
"We've seen it before around the house but we've never been able to get a close look," Boettcher said. "But we went over to him that day and he didn't run away like he normally does."
That's when Boettcher decided he and his brother, Zander Boettcher, needed to capture the moment and film the rabbit.
"We started filming just for us, just to be funny," he said. "Then we decided to put it on Facebook and it got a lot of views."
It's fair to say that, in addition to getting attention for the fact that it featured a 12-horned rabbit, just as many people were entertained by Boettcher himself.
Instead of using the voice of the Midwestern football player that he is, Boettcher spoke in an Australian accent, guiding viewers through what seems like a spotting of a rare, possibly dangerous specimen in the wild.
"I used to watch Steve Irwin when I was little," Boettcher said. "I was just being a goof, just for me and my brother's entertainment."
After the success of that initial Facebook posting, one of Boettcher's friends put the video on Reddit. Within four days the video received 200,000 views and 2,000 comments.
So far he's been featured on several news sites, including the Daily Mail out of London.
After some checking, Boettcher said it appears the rabbit's ailment is cancer, a form of papilloma virus that is highly contagious. He expects the rabbit won't live much longer.
As is the case with most viral videos, not all the comments have been kind. Some say it's wrong to get a few laughs from a disease that certainly will kill the animal. Others say Boettcher has a responsibility to get therabbit some veterinary help.
Boettcher disagrees.
"It's a great idea to try to help him and make him healthy again, but it's a little ridiculous to blame me for not helping the rabbit and taking him to the vet when it's a wild rabbit," he said. "It's turning into a thing on animal rights. People are saying I'm mean for making it humorous, but it was just supposed to be something fun between me and my brother."

Lilac City Estates in Rochester sells for $20.33m
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
ROCHESTER — Lilac City Estates is under new ownership.
"They enjoy the community, they appreciate the cost of living," he said.
He recalled that at times, it was difficult to make decisions such as raising rent on residents, many of whom he considered as friends.
According to Concord attorney James Bianco, who oversaw the land transaction for Lilac City Estates, the Hynes Group owns about five properties in New Hampshire, including ones in Conway, Concord and Keene.
Lilac Community LP is currently seeking a new park manager for Lilac City Estates. The selection and interview process will begin shortly. |

The girls' version of the Van's Slip-On tested much like the boys' version. There is little flexibility and not enough support. You are really just paying for the brand here, so it's worthwhile only if the fun designs are a big draw. vans.com
