International Economics & Politics
Japan to expand economic ties with Russia
Japan should expand its cooperation with Russia on political, economic and cultural levels with a view to encouraging Moscow to ease its stance on the Northern Territories, which are currently occupied by Russia but also claimed by Japan, according to a new policy report drawn up by the Japanese Foreign Ministry. The report said there were signs of improvement in the Russo-Japanese relationship, including the agreement between Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the June G-8 summit in Canada to raise bilateral political dialogue. The report stressed that the leaders were the only ones who could break the current deadlock over the bilateral negotiations for a peace treaty, which has remained unsigned since the end of World War II.

China plans slew of world-class airports by '05
No more long queues at check-in counters, no more cramped passenger lounges and no more overcrowding of planes on the taxiways. That is the promise of an ambitious Rmb110.0bn ($13.3bn/Euro13.2bn) five-year programme by China to bring its aviation service and airport network up to world-class standard, including adding more than 30 airports across the country within three years. China now has 141 civil airports - one quarter of the number in the US which has 565 airports. China's airports are unevenly distributed, with most of them in the eastern and coastal areas. The central government has decided to increase the number of airports from the current 141 to 173 by 2005. The number will rise further to 237 by 2010.

Shanghai targets six key industries
The Shanghai Economic Commission on 19 July released a
policy package that outlines the major development strategies for
local industry over the coming years. Under the city's plan,
Shanghai will focus on the development of six pillar industries --
electronics and information technology (IT), cars, power and
large-scale electromechanical equipment, petrochemicals, high-grade
steel and biopharmaceutical products. Four major industrial bases
-- for IT, cars, petrochemicals and high-grade steel -- are
expected to take shape by 2005. These pillar industries are likely
to power the future growth of local industry, which saw overall
profits of nearly Rmb22.8bn ($2.75bn/Euro2.72bn) from January to
June - a 5.2% year-on-year increase.

Seoul preparing against US instability
The South Korean government is preparing a contingency plan to protect its economy from the growing instability in the US financial system, a senior official of the Ministry of Finance and Economy said on 21 July. Under the plan, the government would keep interest rates low and increase its fiscal spending in order to stimulate a recovery, the ministry official said. It would also promote trade with China and Southeast Asian countries to reduce the local economy's reliance on the US economy and take the necessary measures to support domestic demand, the official added. The ministry official warned that the US stock market could fall into a panic if the Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to decline to 7500 or even 7000.

Korean investors eye Asean markets
Among South Korean companies currently investing in foreign markets, over one-third have put capital into China, as domestic firms start preparing for China's predicted emergence as a global economic giant. But future investors are likely to turn their eyes to countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore as 37% of the respondents planning overseas investments said they were interested in Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) over North America (19.3%), Japan (18.9%) and Latin America (7.6%). These facts were revealed in a joint study compiled by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Commerce and the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade based on a survey of 1000 companies in May.

Giants are perfect chemistry
China's dangerous chemical management authorities on 21
July signed agreements with major members of the Association of
International Chemical Manufacturers (AICM) to improve safety in
the usage of hazardous substances. According to the Emergency
Response Service Protocol, more than 10 leading chemical producers
-- including Air Products, Akzo Nobel, AtoFina, Bayer and DuPont --
have agreed to provide safety data on their products to China's
National Registration Centre for Chemicals. AICM Director Liu
Hongwu said producers who signed the agreements would annually
provide funds for the centre to operate in order to guarantee
quality service to chemical users, distributors and other people
who deal with hazardous substances. The amount to be paid was not

Japan expects more slimming pill casualties
Japanese health authorities are bracing for higher casualties from tainted China-made slimming pills when final figures are tallied, as reports trickling in from prefectures have pushed the number of deaths nationwide to four, with 160 people affected with organ problems. The Japanese market for slimming aids is huge and respondents to a television survey indicated they were willing to take 'some risks' if the pills were effective. Despite massive publicity following the Health Ministry's disclosure last week of the first fatality, websites are still selling two brands which authorities have linked to liver disorders. Such sites are achieving fair sales of pills by Yuzhitang Health Products, which manufactured the Slim10 product banned in Singapore, and Xianzhisu capsules, another Chinese product, even after website managers posted warnings saying the pills might cause liver disorder.

Oil & Gas
Japan Energy to make low-sulphur diesel oil by '06
Japan Energy plans to start producing diesel oil with a sulphur content of only 10 ppm by 2006, one-fiftieth the current maximum permitted limit for diesel oil. The Tokyo-based major oil distributor will spend Yen20bn ($172m/Euro170m)-Yen30bn to beef up desulphurisation equipment at its main refinery plants in Mizushima in Okayama Prefecture and the Kashima, Ibaraki Prefecture plant. Japan Energy said it would also develop new catalysts to more effectively remove sulphur content. Japan's major oil distributors are scrambling to reduce sulphur content in gas oil, the major culprit responsible for nitrogen oxide and soot emitted from diesel vehicles. Japanese authorities plan to reduce the maximum sulfur content in diesel oil to less than 50 ppm at the end of 2004, from the current 500 ppm.

Japan to levy tariffs on polyester imports
Japan will impose anti-dumping tariffs on polyester staple imports from South Korea and Taiwan as early as this month, sources at the Finance and Trade ministries said 19 July. The tax rates are expected to range from 6% to 13.5%, depending on the manufacturer. This will be the third time Japan has imposed antidumping tariffs on imports and the first since 1995, when levies were slapped on cotton imported from Pakistan. Domestic demand for polyester staple, which comes mainly from the bedding and automotive industries, totals about 200 000 tonne/year.

Japanese trading firm Itochu and electrical machinery producer Hitachi have won a contract to supply power-generating gas turbines to a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Egypt. The value of the deal is estimated at about Yen5bn ($43m/Euro42m). The partners will supply five turbines, each with a power output of some 27 000kw, by June 2003. Itochu and Hitachi won the contract from JGC, a major Japanese plant engineering firm, Kellogg Brown & Root of the US and Spain's Techcicas Reunidas. The consortium will build a major LNG plant in the Damietta area along the Mediterranean coast for a joint company held by Union Fenosa from Spain, and an Egyptian concern.

Royal Dutch/Shell and Chinese state oil company Sinopec will invest Rmb1.55bn ($187m/Euro187m) in a joint venture to build 500 gas stations in eastern China's booming Jiangsu province.

The agreements, to be realised within three years, came as a result of the three international oil giants' purchase of substantial stakes in Sinopec's 2000 overseas stock market listing, the paper said.

1. | Icey Mike | ||
There's a few different "Icey Mikes", but one I've heard is where you take a shit, freeze it, and then when it's frozen a girl has sex with the frozen turd, just like a dildo. That girl gave herself an Icey Mike, I'm never touching her again!
2. | Icey Mike | ||
n. - The act of ejaculating into an ice cube tray and letting the semen freeze thoroughly, then using the ejaculate ice cubes in an unsuspecting guests drink. man #1 - Let's pull an icey mike on Joe! He's coming over in 3 hours!
man #2 - Ok, I'll cum in the ice cube tray, you check to see if my ethiopian can opener is ready! |
3. | Icey Mike | ||
Filling a condom up with water, much in the same style as a water baloon, freezing it and then using it for insertion, either on ones self or on another. "My girlfriend loves playing with ice cubes, so I made an icey mike to really get her going..."
4. | Icey Mike | ||
Using a frozen turd as a dildo. Sometimes a condom is used to form the feces into the desired shape, but this is optional, and dependant on the firmness and consistency of the stool sample. My last girlfriend was a prude. She dumped me after I went to the freezer and showed her the Icey Mike I had planned for her...I mean us.
5. | Icey Mike | ||
n- the original Icey Mike was a urine-filled condom that was frozen in order to be used as a sex toy -- e.g. dildo. Instead of giving her a Golden Shower, he decided to make her an Icey Mike for when he was away.
6. | icey mike | ||

SoFAR with DIM Agents: An Agent Framework for Distributed Information Management
Moreau, Luc, Gibbins, Nick, DeRoure, David, El-Beltagy, Samhaa, Hall, Wendy, Hughes, Gareth, Joyce, Dan, Kim, Sanghee, Michaelides, Danius, Millard, Dave, Reich, Sigi, Tansley, Robert and Weal, Mark (2000) SoFAR with DIM Agents: An Agent Framework for Distributed Information Management. The Fifth International Conference and Exhibition on The Practical Application of Intelligent Agents and Multi-Agents , 369--388.
Full text not available from this repository.
In this paper we present SoFAR, a versatile multi-agent framework designed for Distributed Information Management tasks. SoFAR embraces the notion of proactivity as the opportunistic reuse of the services provided by other agents, and provides the means to enable agents to locate suitable service providers. The contribution of SoFAR is to combine some ideas from the distributed computing community with the performative-based communications used in other agent systems: communications in SoFAR are based on the startpoint/endpoint paradigm, which is the foundation of Nexus, the communication layer at the heart of the Computational Grid. We explain the rationale behind our design decisions, and describe the predefined set of agents which make up the core of the system. Two distributed information management applications have been written, a general query architecture and an open hypermedia application, and we recount their design and operations.

Notes Another loops-only date but what there is manages to be rather sweet with swooning lines interspersed with brittle needles of notes that prickle and tickle our earbuds. Beginning with little prods and jabs of sound, the loops slowly orbit each other before slowly coalescing into something that paradoxically continues to move yet is possessed with an eerie stillness. As the cycle of note-building begins anew, fresh colours, moods and perspectives gradually emerge presenting themselves for our consideration. Although the following words were written about the work of the artist James Hugonin, they seem to apply to the music presented at Inroads: "With each series of brush strokes he works methodically over the painting in rhythmic arcs of individual colours. Multiple and inter-related groups of these marks, made from the wrist, are slowly developed over a period of months. Eventually, they coalesce, revealing waves of tonal modulations, so intricate and delicate that they seem constantly to shift and hover."

Just a suggestion, as I've never had to do this either, but I would see if I could find any examples of the type of writing the company uses. Then I would do a clean, concise version of it.
But, Aunt Snow, any of your travel pieces or anything you've written about LA would show them how awesome you are.

Genre: Sitcom
Premise: Based on the award-winning Web series, ``Childrens Hospital'' focuses on a group of doctors, nurses and other staffers at, of course, a hospital for children. These doctors are a dedicated bunch -- dedicated to their social lives, raucous senses of humor and healthy libidos, that is. Their focus changes only when, every once in a while, they are forced to treat a child. This addition to the network's Adult Swim programming is definitely not for the youngsters.

The Labs of Cognitive Neuroscience
Immune Functions, Steroids, and Memory & Brain Development
Brief Description:
In this study, we are interested in learning about how hormones released when we are sick, as well as steroids used to treat certain autoimmune illnesses, may affect brain development in children. In particular, we are investigating how these factors may affect memory and executive functions--the skills we use to plan and regulate our behavior--both of which are important to a child's functioning at school and at home.
Eligibility for study participation:
We are currently seeking children ages 8-16
- who are healthy and typically developing
- who have Crohn's disease (an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the digestive tract).
Participation Details
Participants will come to the lab for a neuropsychological assessment (routinely used in clinical care) and complete tests of memory and general cognitive ability. We will then record each child's brain activity (or EEG) while he or she tries to learn and remember photographs shown on a computer screen. In a separate session, children will also be asked to play similar learning games during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a non-invasive tool to measure brain activity which will allow us to study brain differences between sick and healthy children.
Research Contact:
Full Description
Memory and executive functions--the skills we use to plan and regulate our behavior--are fundamental building blocks of a child's learning and adaptive functioning, both at school and at home. These functions may be influenced by hormones and immune cells we release when feeling sick. Usually, our immune system is programmed to quickly fight infection and then return to "rest" again. However, in certain conditions such as autoimmune illnesses, the immune system overreacts and can't return to "rest." These overreacting immune cells, as well as the steroids used to treat them, can affect brain regions critical for learning and memory. Children with autoimmune illnesses, therefore, may be t particular risk for cognitive and behavioral problems based on both their underlying illness and the therapies used to treat them.
In the current study we are looking at the brain effects of the immune response and steroids on learning in both ill and healthy children. Understanding more about these effects will help doctors who are treating sick children to learn more about how the immune system acts on the brain and to find safer therapies for children dealing with these types of illnesses. We also hope to help families find ways to manage their child's learning and school functioning when their child is sick, in pain, and/or taking steroids.
If you are interested in participating with your child, please e-mail Kristin Maletsky or call 617-355-7908.

Previous visitors' comments about Oxen Cottage:
The cottage was a converted barn and nicely laid out. It felt very spacious and incorporated a lot of the features of the old barn and at the same time had all the mod cons you need plus more - jacuzzi bath. The owners were very nice and on hand if we needed them. Probably the nicest property we have stayed in!
Miss Jackson, Shipley, April 2013
Beautiful barn conversion, warm and very well furnished. Beds were very comfortable and bathroom was luxurious. Excellent standard of white goods. Peaceful location.
Mrs Neal, Cromer, March 2013
The converted barn was an absolute delight. It was excellent value for money and I would not hesitate to recommend Oxen Cottage to anyone looking for a good location. The owners were very welcoming and their free range eggs tasted lovely.

WHMCS Auto Install Module
Contents |
This guide will help you to setup WHMCS to auto-install scripts during user account creation. Setting this up is very easy. This guide assumes that you have already installed Softaculous on your server.
Note: This works only with cPanel and DirectAdmin at the moment.
List of Scripts
All the scripts in Softaculous can be Auto Installed. Following is the popular list of scripts :
WordPress, b2evolution, StatusNet, Drupal, Mambo, phpBB, SMF, AEF, Coppermine, Gallery, Jcow, OpenClassifieds, openX, WebCalendar, Shadows Rising, phpList, SquirrelMail, LimeSurvey, Piwik, SugarCRM, PHProjekt, osCommerce, Magento, phpBook, HESK, osTicket, kPlaylist, VidiScript, Gregarius, CodeIgniter, Moodle, Elgg.
(See the first pic to see where you have to add the names of scripts, the box outlined in red is where you add the list of scripts.)
Download and Upload
Download the Auto Installation Hook from the Downloads Sections.
Unzip it and upload the file called softaculous.php, in your /path/to/whmcs/includes/hooks/ Directory.
If you want to debug for any errors or test the Auto Install is working properly please also upload the softaculous_debug.php file in your /path/to/whmcs/includes/hooks/ Directory. You can remove the softaculous_debug.php file later after it works successfully.
If you want to add Auto Installation for Custom Scripts then please modify softaculous_extra.php and upload it as well. Otherwise you dont need to upload softaculous_extra.php
Editing a Product/Service
Now login to your WHMCS Admin Panel. This guide assumes you have already setup WHMCS to create user accounts automatically. If you have not already setup your server you can find detailed guides on the WHMCS Wiki
Setup Custom Fields
Go to Setup -> Products/Services and click on the Edit Product Icon of the Product you wish to setup Auto Installation for.
In the Edit Product section, click the 'Custom Fields' tab.
In the Custom Fields tab > Add New Custom Field.
We will have to add 4 Custom Fields.
You can only add 1 Custom Field at a time, so after adding the first field hit the 'Save Changes' button, for the 2nd field to show up.
This is how we add custom fields.
See the images below for the 4 custom fields.
Note : You can give "None" as the first option in the List of Scripts. If users dont want to install a script when their account is created, they can choose "None" to refrain from installing any script.
Very Important Note : Fill in the fields name as per the image only. IF you wish to modify the Field Names (e.g. "Admin Username" instead of "Admin Name") then you must upload the softaculous_extra.php file as well (it has sample code to modify the field names).
Additional Custom Fields
You can also setup additional Fields for optional parameters like "Site Name", "Site Description", etc.
Continue adding the Fields that you wish similarly as you did above.
You need to make one more change in the softaculous_extra.php
You need to create an Array $softaculous_conf['custom_fields'] add the number of fields you want to add in this array the key of the array will be the name of the field in the install.xml file of the script.
For Eg: If you want to add the Site Name field for WordPress
1. Go to /var/softaculous/wp/install.xml
2. Search for the site name field, you will get the following code:
<input type="text" name="site_name" size="30" value="My Blog">
3. The key for $softaculous_conf['custom_fields'] will be the name of the input tag i.e. site_name
4. The value for $softaculous_conf['custom_fields'] will be the Custom Field name that you provided in the WHMCS product setup in this case Site Name.
5. The additional field is now setup.
Setup Module Run Time
The Softaculous Hook will run and try to Auto Install the script only when the account is being created. This option can be found while editing the Product/Service in Module Settings Tab. You can choose any of the option in the image shown below. Just remember that Softaculous will create the account only as per the method you select.
Once you are done with the 4 fields, hit the Save Changes button and you are done.
Testing the Setup
You can test the setup by making a DUMMY Order and going to the settings of that order.
For debugging purposes upload softaculous_debug.php in the /path/to/whmcs/includes/hooks/ Directory. If you dont upload the softaculous_debug.php no error messages will be shown.
Creating Account
Make sure the Admin Name and Admin Pass are setup and the desired script is selected e.g. WordPress
Then click on the Create button to create the account on the server.
You will see a Box shown in the following image
Success Message
When the page reloads (assuming debugging is enabled) the following message will be shown in case of success :
Error Message
Incase of Failure errors will be shown (assuming debugging is enabled).
There could be several reasons for the Hook Not to work :
- A firewall is blocking requests
- You put the incorrect Field Names
- cURL is disabled in PHP
- etc.
Remove Debug File
Please remove the softaculous_debug.php file after you have successfully setup the Module.
Custom Scripts
If you have made a Custom Script in Softaculous and want to enable Auto Installation of that script via WHMCS then please upload the file softaculous_extra.php as well in the hooks folder.
Before uploading the softaculous_extra.php file, please modify it and add the scripts you want to automate installation of.
Please note that the ID of the custom script must be the same as that of the Custom Script in Softaculous Admin Panel.

When he popularized his famous "peace through strength" axiom, Ronald Reagan never envisioned it would lead to anything but peace three decades later.
But now, two groups that claim a role in helping Reagan craft his foreign policy are battling it out over the use of the slogan. The American Security Council Foundation has secured a trademark and is suing the other group, the Center for Security Policy, for trying to use it in its own literature and fundraising.
The foundation says Reagan himself credited the group with crafting the phrase, and that its own long association with the words, going back decades before Reagan's two terms in office, has earned them the right to the trademark.
The center, backed by a group of former Reagan administration officials, fired back this week, saying the phrase belongs to the ages, not to a policy think-tank.
"For those of us who proudly served with President Reagan, it is unimaginable that anyone would seek to own a phrase immortalized by him," the 17 former Reagan officials wrote in a pointed plea Monday that called on the foundation to relent.
It's the latest skirmish in what has become a series of battles over the former president's legacy and memory. The fights range from presidential candidates sparring over who best claims his mantle, to the historical, where Reagan's boyhood home was caught in a budget tussle between the National Park Service and the home's owners.
This latest battle is being fought in federal district court in Washington, where the foundation and the center have offices.
"Peace through strength has been at the heart of everything that we do and that we've done. It's not peripheral, it's not a topic. We never do anything without focusing on that policy of peace through strength," said Donald B. Smith, a retired Army brigadier general who is chairman of the foundation's board.
He said the foundation, which from 1958 to 2003 was known as the Institute for American Strategy, doesn't want to hog the historic phrase. But he said it also doesn't want another security think-tank confusing the public by using the phrase to identify its own organization.
"We would like them to work with us and not attack us. I don't think anyone wins when organizations attack other organizations," Mr. Smith said. "We're not attacking them, we're not saying anything bad about them, all we're doing is embracing our trademark."
The foundation applied for the trademark in 2010, citing its use in everything from essay contests to bumper stickers to awards given back in the 1970s, and the U.S. Patent and Trade Office certified it this year.
Soon afterward, the foundation sued the center and its president, Frank Gaffney, an assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration who is a major figure in conservative defense circles. Mr. Gaffney contributes a weekly column to The Washington Times.
David Yerushalmi, a lawyer at the American Freedom Law Center who is representing Mr. Gaffney and the center, said the foundation cannot pick and choose to allow some uses, such as policy debate, but disallow others.
"They picked on the wrong group of people," Mr. Yerushalmi said. "Frank Gaffney and the Center for Security Policy are not going to claim the mantle of Ronald Reagan, they'll do what they do, but they'll certainly protect the freedom to use that term in any way they want."
Mr. Yerushalmi said the foundation waited until "when no one's watching" to secure the trademark, but added it will have to surmount one key obstacle — that it was Reagan who popularized the phrase, not the foundation's leaders.

NY Lottery Draws 9-1-1 on 9/11
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
I saw this rather freaky piece of news over at Icrontic. Apparently the NY lottery drew 9-1-1 on September 11, which of course in numerical form equates to 9/11.
"The numbers were picked in the standard random fashion using all the same protocols," said lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hapeman. "It's just the way the numbers came up."More information at the Yahoo! News
Lottery officials won't know until Thursday morning how many people played those numbers or the total payout, she said.

Mileage: No information provided.
Mileage: No information provided.
Asked on April 30, 2012
You know Spacer rings for the counter shaft of a gear boxof a car? Well if you saw A= 2.20 2.0 1.79What would the A stand for?
Please ignore the vehicle details above they are not correct. Thank you!
Asked by Adia81
Replied on April 30, 2012
What vehicle are you refering to and where did you get the A from?
Replied on April 30, 2012
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I do not know what kind of car unfortunately. I just have a list of spare pieces. The A comes from the "spacer rings" under the heading Counter Shaft. .I thought the 2.0 bla bla would be size but why not then use S.
Replied on April 30, 2012
It depends on the manufacturer. The A could be the size within a certain specifications and there could be a B or C as well.
Replied on May 1, 2012
Sounds like spacers are different thicknesses for setting back lash, a model of car would be a great help.

Henry Ford Community College is going to Washington!

Back in October I wrote a post entitled "Is Alaska the weirdest airline in the US?" I've just found it odd the degree to which Seattleites take pride in "their" hometown airline, which, oddly enough, is named after a completely different state. But then again there are many parts of Seattle culture I don't understand.
I status matched to Alaska Airlines MVP Gold from American Executive Platinum status at the beginning of November, and plan on using them for my flights up and down the west coast, for which they're tough to beat. While American elite members get certain benefits on Alaska, like priority check-in, security, boarding, and exit row seating, they're not eligible for upgrades or many fee waivers. And since Alaska upgrades are quite easy I decided it was worthwhile trying to maintain MVP Gold status.
And the program is awesome, at least for their routes with multiple frequencies. The first cool benefit is that they allow free ticket changes. That means that you can speculatively make bookings and still change the times/dates later/routes, while only paying the difference in fare (and not any change fees).
But what I really, really love about their program is their same day confirmed change policy. If you're an MVP Gold member, you can make free same day flight changes for you and your companions on the same reservation starting at 10PM the night before you travel. That in and of itself doesn't sound that great, but you get last seat availability on any flight. That means if a flight is "Y1″ (meaning only one seat is left for sale) you can switch on to it at no cost — your original fare class doesn't have to be available.
Even better than that? If you're in upgraded first class you can switch to any flight with first class space, even if there's no upgrade space. So if the flight is "F1″ (meaning only one first class seat is left for sale), you can switch from your flight in upgraded first class to any flight that has at least one first class seat left for sale.
This almost makes it advantageous to book the off peak flight time where fares are cheapest and upgrades are easiest, since you can go back and confirm yourself on just about any flight you'd like in first class the night before.

Greg said,
You can thank Southwest Airlines for that change policy. Probably benchmarking them more than the global network guys.
December 2nd, 2012 at 9:09 am
lucky said,
@ Greg — In advance I totally agree, but Southwest's standby/same day change policy is ridiculous.
December 2nd, 2012 at 9:39 am
German Expat said,
F9 has a pretty good change policy too for their Summit members, same day change is free and all change fees waived for tickets. You can even cancel a ticket and keep the credit for 1 year.
I don't like WN's same day standby, basically they are selling you a very expensive same day ticket with a credit to your fare. -
December 2nd, 2012 at 10:09 am
alliance said,
Southwest's same-day/standby policy is designed to prevent exactly what you are talking about doing with Alaska: "This almost makes it advantageous to book the off peak flight time where fares are cheapest…" Southwest wants to charge higher fares for the most popular flight times and they make sure they succeed at it with their standby policy.
December 2nd, 2012 at 10:21 am
Scottrick said,
This is great, but the title suggested you would explain WHY Alaska offers this benefit. Can you expand on that? I'd be interested to learn why Alaska feels the need to be so generous.

When do you plan on booking the Mileage Plan 140k CX JNB award with HKG stopover? You won't be disappointed. South Africa is spectacular.

ffi said,
There you go giving away all secret benefits again.
Maybe that is why the Seattleites liked it, and it was so secret they even named it after another state ……
Maybe we should change the blog to Million Mile Secrets exposed.
Wait, is that taken?
Southwest could have been a bit better by allowing standby for free on cheaper tickets. After all how is demand high and fare high when the plane is actually flying with empty seats?

thumbelina said,
I called to ask if coterminal cities flights were allowed (as SWA allows coterminal cities for "flat tire" rule. I was told they are not, but they would suggest it to management. AS does not fly into a lot of places with coterminal airports (SFO/OAK/SJC) is the only one that comes to mind(don't know if they do( LAX/BUR/ONT) know they don't do (DNA/IAD), so this would be a particular incentive for Californians to join MVP, which I believe is something they have been trying to increase. How about we mention it at the next MVP GOLD Lunch attended?
December 2nd, 2012 at 1:33 pm
lucky said,
@ Scottrick — Well I suspect they offer no change fees for elite members to match Southwest. As far as the other policies go, I suspect it's simply because they're a small airline and don't realize how generous their change policies are.
@ Carl — Working on accruing Alaska miles and hope to do it before the program is devalued.
@ Andy Assareh — It is for non-elites. For elite members it's 10PM the night before.
@ ace — My apologies.
December 2nd, 2012 at 1:35 pm
BFrankley said,
I HOPE it's midnight, not 10, or I stayed up late for nothing last time I made a change.
Great meeting you last night, Ben. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me and my wife. She was a little star struck meeting the guy responsible for scoring us SQ Suites! -

"This almost makes it advantageous to book the off peak flight time where fares are cheapest and upgrades are easiest, since you can go back and confirm yourself on just about any flight you'd like in first class the night before."
This is my guess why Air Canada charges even their highest tier customers a $75 same day change fee
December 2nd, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Eponymous coward said,
AS used to allow coterminal changes on SDC. They also usd to allow 24 hour change (meaning you could actually change the day you flew, change a Saturday AM flight to a Friday night flight).
Took those away, though.
December 2nd, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Eponymous coward said,
Actually, I misremembered the part about SDC on coterminals. It was standby on coterminals (no irrops needed) that got yanked, along with SDC at 24 hours (as opposed to day of with a limited exception for redeyes).
December 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 am

AA elites actually do get upgrades on AS. Its low status on the list, but still on the list. I was waitlisted recently, but the flight was F1 a week out so wasn't expecting to either.
December 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 am
Alex said,
Didn't clear that is, and wasn't expecting to.
December 3rd, 2012 at 12:24 am

@ Alex — Interesting. Definitely not the policy as only Delta elites have reciprocal upgrade benefits, so curious how that happened.

Fifty Shades of Takei
On books to read. That's it.
Epic MisAdventures of Kitsunes and King Rilla
The Finely Endowed Lord Rilla Pythonicus, Archduke of the Black Coast and Lord of the Serpent Port."Your arms are too short to box with God"
Moby-Dick, Foundation, The Lost Era: The Sundered, A Stitch In Time. There are some other ones, but those are just some recent ones I've read (And re-read, with Moby-Dick)
Jag har beslutat att aldrig starta ett orättvist krig, och aldrig avsluta ett rättvist krig utan att besegra mina fiender.
Depends on genre, best crime I've read recently is probably the one I'm reading now Red Mist by Patrician Cornwell, Linwood Barclay's pretty good for thrillers at the moment. Most other genres I don't read much new stuff in so I'd end up giving you a reading list rather than reccomendations if I went into them.
I have decided to leave the guild for an indefinite period of time, long story short I have issues with depression that I need to focus on dealing with.
Should you feel it necessary to contact me you can do so on the address below:
Thank you very much :3 I'm probably going to ask for more when I've finished ._. I need books....more books...murr
Normally I read fantasy, rarely fiction, I enjoy books with historical references, even thriller. Although, I'm trying to get into different genres.
Books? What the arse? What do you need a book for? What have they ever done for humanity? I mean, when was the last time you looked at a book and went 'Wow, look at the graphics in this!'? Yes, never. BURN THE BOOKS. Something, something, one-government world, freedom.
"And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.'"


text: The app gets physical 14 December 09 by David Rowan Tweet Perry Curties Durrell Bishop is on a mission to "physicalise" software. So he is manufacturing actual bird boxes to enhance his birdsong- alarm app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. "An iPhone is really Plasticine confined by an anonymous box, and dressing it up lets it express a part of itself," says the London-based product designer. "The birdbox clock is the first of many playful ideaswe'll making for the iPhone."The free app is designed to work with the box as your night-time recharging station. Its round bird hole displays a clock face which opens to show fledgling birds nesting. It sings gently each hour, and then wakes you with a cuckoo chorus (just tip the box to snooze for ten minutes)."The computer screen is a window on a new world, but the services it provides don't need to hide there," says Bishop, 45, whose company Luckybite is a partnership with Tom Hulbert. Both worked at IDEO and previously Bishop taught Hulbert product design at the Royal College of Art. "Products get sucked in to computers and become wonderful lights on screens.

CHARLESTON (AP) — The West Virginia Supreme Court has approved a three-year pilot program to help attorneys who have addictions, or physical or mental health conditions, that impact their ability to practice law.
Officials say the purposes of the program are to protect the public and assist attorneys who need help to begin and continue recovery. The program also will be used to educate the judges, attorneys, and the public about the causes of impairment, and develop prevention programs to help attorneys.
The West Virginia State Bar is required to file a report with the court after the first two years of the program so that it can be evaluated.
It will be funded through the West Virginia State Bar. The total costs of the program may not exceed $60,000 per year.

Illegal fireworks ignite palm trees
Someone using illegal aerial fireworks in the 1800 block of Athens Avenue caused several palm trees to catch fire on Christmas Eve.
According to Mike Erfert of the Yuma Fire Department, the fire was reported just before 8 p.m. Monday and was endangering homes on the block.
"Burning pieces of palm trees were floating in the air," Erfert said.
When firefighters arrived, they quickly knocked down the flames and used a ladder truck to spray down the top of the trees to extinguish the fire.
Erfert said the fire was stopped before any homes were damaged.
An investigation determined someone using illegal aerial fireworks caused the fire. The suspect was identified, and the investigation was turned over to the Yuma Police Department for enforcement action.
With the New Year's holiday getting closer, Erfert wanted to remind people that any fireworks that explode or leave the ground (such as firecrackers or bottle rockets) are still illegal and that violators are subject to arrest.
People who use illegal fireworks are also responsible for any property damage, injury or death resulting from their use. The same goes for the discharge of firearms to celebrate.
"Celebrate sensibly and have a happy and safe holiday season," Erfert said.
