$1 lunch? Yes, please, say 26,000 in D.C.
More than 26,000 people signed up for a special deal from LivingSocial Friday, forming long lines outside of participating restaurants.
Roughly 120 D.C. restaurants offered an entire lunch worth at least $10 for only $1. The company used the lunch deal to promote a new feature on its smartphone app called "Instant Deal." Using a phone's GPS, the app lets customers locate deals close to them, buying an instantly redeemable coupon code.
The offer was so popular -- and only valid between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., according to LivingSocial -- many restaurants had lines out the door.
LivingSocial did subsidize today's dollar deal. In the future, they will work with shops on special instant savings offers. Those without a smartphone can log on to the LivingSocial.com website and print out an actual voucher.
LivingSocial's main competitor, Groupon, is also planning an instant deals service called Groupon Now, which is expected to launch sometime this month, reported the Washington Post.

How to Size an Evaporative Cooler
For those living in hot, dry areas, a swamp cooler can provide effective and energy-efficient cooling. These devices lower temperatures by combining the natural of evaporation with a simple air-moving system. Generally speaking, warm air is pulled through moist pads where it is cooled by evaporation and circulated throughout the air. As this occurs, temperatures can be lowered by as much as 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
When choosing an evaporative cooler, a few crucial considerations should be kept in mind, particularly environmental conditions. Because evaporative coolers rely on the process of evaporation to cool the air, they will only be effective in hot, arid climates. Moreover, unlike air conditioners which require a closed environment, evaporative coolers require some sort of fresh air in order to function properly.
However, as long as your environment fits the above criteria, a swamp cooler can help you stay cool and comfortable in the summer heat. The map below illustrates the different parts of the United States in which swamp coolers are most effective (region A). To an extent, region B would also benefit from a swamp cooler (though the cooling capacity will be lower), but if you live in region C, a portable air conditioner will be better suited for your needs.
The next step to choosing an evaporative cooler is to find a correctly sized unit. Like air conditioners, evaporative coolers need to be the right size in order to adequately cool a room. When it comes to choosing a portable air conditioner, one of the most important factors to take into account is the model's BTU rating.
This measurement describes the power and cooling capacity, and the higher the BTU value, the stronger the air conditioner. Furthermore, a portable air conditioner with too many BTUs will cycle off too quickly, and a unit without an insufficient number of BTUs will not adequately cool a room.
However, unlike air conditioners which rely on BTUs as a means of measuring cooling efficiency, the output of evaporative coolers is rated by CFMs. This measurement essentially describes the cubic feet per minute of air that the swamp cooler can blow into your home, and whether you're cooling a single room or entire home, a basic formula exists for determining the proper size swamp cooler you need.
Simply take the cubic feet of the intended area you are cooling and divide that number by 2. For example, if you are trying to cool a bedroom that measures 100 square feet with 9 foot high ceilings, your cubic footage would be 900 feet. Divide that number by 2 and you will find out that you require a swamp cooler that offers approximately 450 CFMs, as shown by the formula below:
Room Square Footage: 100 square feet
Ceiling Height: 9 feet
Cubic Feet = 900 feet
CFM = Cubic Feet / 2
900 / 2 = 450
Therefore, you can see that for a 100 square foot room with 9 foot high ceilings, the CFM requirement would be 450, and a suitable unit with optimal CFM ratings would be the Symphony Surround . As a general rule, choose the largest cooler (within reason) you can afford, and keep in mind that a large evaporative cooler with a big blower and low horsepower motor will sometimes perform better than a small model with a high horsepower motor.
Swamp Cooler Buying Tip: |
Unlike a portable AC, there's no harm in choosing an evaporative cooler with a slightly greater cooling capacity than the space you're cooling. |
Also keep in mind that a swamp cooler's cooling efficiency will also depend on a few other factors such as the overall temperature and humidity levels. For reference, the chart below illustrates ambient temperatures, humidity levels, and the temperatures delivered by an evaporative cooler in optimal conditions:
Always keep in mind that portable evaporative coolers are meant for personal and spot cooling. For lowering the temperatures in larger, non-residential settings such as warehouses or garages, look to commercial evaporative coolers.

The Associated Press reports that Sbarro, the pizza chain that is largely found in shopping mall food courts, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in three years, saying it needs to slash debt and improve its quality if it is to regain profitability. KC's View:
I'm pretty sure I argued at the time of the first bankruptcy filing that Sbarro's long-term interests would be best served by serving s quality pie that didn't leave so much grease on the paper plates on which it serves its pizza slices.

Wayzata 5 Benilde-St. Margaret's 2
Wayzata returned to the state tournament for the first time in nine years defeating defending state champion Benilde-St. Margaret's 5-2 Wednesday night at Mariucci Arena.
"I didn't think we were going to have a 14 out of 15 game win streak in the middle of the season, where we got bumped up to number one," said Wayzata head coach Pat O'Leary. "We scored some timely goals kind of took their breath away in the third period."
The Red Knights took one goal leads twice, but could not hold the lead as the young Trojans rallied back scoring four straight goals. Senior goalie Aaron Dingman played solid making 28 saves.
Edina 3 Burnsville 2
The Edina Hornets captured the section 2AA championship for the seventh straight year with a 3-2 win over the Burnsville Blaze.
"It's hard to do once, we've been fortunate to go there quite a bit," said head coach Curt Giles. "It's something different every year. It is so enjoyable to watch the kids get so excited for the opportunity to play in the Minnesota State High School hockey tournament. It's a big deal."
A pair of first period goals gave the Hornets the 2-1 lead and Cullen Munson's second period goal gave Edina the needed goal to advance to the state tournament.

I paid a visit to Thomas Edison Museum in Ft. Myers, Florida back in August of this year. The museum consists of Edison's winter estate on the Caloosahatchee river. He had a lab right next to his home. The estate dates back to 1896 and sits on 17 acres. Edison's neighbor was his good friend, Henry Ford (of Ford Motor Corporation fame). Edison was the host of many important visitors of the time including the President of the United States. I visited the estate more on an historical aspect than a paranormal one though my love for both are unsurpassed. The photo I am submitting was taken in the museum. There were no adverse conditions. Subsequent photos of the area showed no other activity. I thought it would be nice to share it with the Ghostvillage community. Thanks, Ronnie. www.floridaghostchapter.com

While I can see Mr Cummmings would be miffed that the blame for the demise of HBOS is laid entirely at his door, which is clearly ridiculous, I think he should be thankful he only got a fine and a ban. The senior management of HBOS have caused many many people untold misery by their cavalier and reckless actions. The damage to the country by the two Scottish banks is seemingly irreversible and we can all look forward to years of austerity because of our brilliant financial sector.
Therefore I am amazed first; that the FSA think fining a very wealthy man £500k and banning him when he has already retired is in any way a just penalty for what Mr Cummings has done and secondly; that the British public are being expected to accept everything that happened was down to one man. It wasn't. Neither should the FSA be looking exclusively at the most senior management as there were many people at various levels of HBOS whose behaviour beggared belief. Because these people were not the very top dogs, their names are mostly unknown to the general public but their conduct is well known to the many business owners who had the misfortune to encounter them.
I hope this action against Mr Cummings is just the start of a much bigger clear out of the rot by the FSA and I hope we will also see some criminal prosecutions. This is not retribution - it is the only way to protect against further economic disaster. The arrogance and contempt some of the HBOS bankers had (and have) for the British public is unbelievable. For example, which bright spark decided to call the Farepak savers monies 'Doris' money? My guess is it was the same team of people who crucified many SMEs in the HBOS Reading scandal. And as a Judge has already discovered, Mr Cummings was the ultimate arbiter who decided not to go with any of the various rescue packages that would have saved Farepak and enabled thousands of people to have the Christmas money they saved.
After 5 years investigating HBOS I believe the time has come when the truth must and will come out. Mr Cummings and his colleagues should pay a realistic price for what they sowed - which was pure misery and disaster for thousands.

I would suggest it is because these problems have been occurring for the last 12 months (audio) and people are sick and tired of the crappy response from box dev's so they don't bother. Mine crashes all the time and I even get audio drop outs when watching Netflix!!!
I suggest it is a hardware problem that they cant fix and don't want to admit it as it would mean refunds for all!
The box is so 'fiddly' unless you're a tech head, the things is pretty much useless!

Got out of work at 10am and was in the movie at 1030. This movie was friggin' amazing! There are no words that could describe it! Better then I could have ever expected. The best marvel movie yet!!!!! Ok thats enough!
Glad to hear it, thinking of going see it in IMAX
thanks for the heads up
Yeah it was very good!
Plus, I got to see new "Indy 4" and "TDK" trailers back to back before the movie!
Ditto! The best Marvel movie! I love it, is the BEST YEAR MOVIE IMO! :thumbup
dang it!!!! i new that there was gunna be something after the credits, and my friend was like no no! errrrrr
Just saw it this after noon....AWESOME MOVIE! This is by far one of the best Marvel movies yet. And Stan's cameo is classic!
And yes...stay after the movie. Not much, but a little treat
Took my younger brother to see it tonight just got back, great film and Robert Downey Jr really makes Tony Stark believable, what was at the end of the credits?!?!?!?! we missed it
I saw it last night at the sneak. It was wicked awesome. The clip at the end just made it that much more amazing...SPOILERS...Did anyone put the clues together about the secret goverment agency? I totally missed it till the end.
Last edited by SOLOCHASER; May 2, 2008 at 6:05 PM.
As a rule we stay till after the credits for every movie we see, just in case. More and more movies have something either part way through the credits, around/during the credits or after the credits.
I saw it too! It was awesome, I took my mother along and she loved it.
I too am in agreement.The movie completely rocked!!!
It really was a great movie the wife and I loved it. Big grins all round but we didn't stay till after the credits. What did we miss?? Still we could go and see it again. Oh and Yeah Stan Lee's cameo was a cracker.....made me laugh anyway, but I'm eaisily amused
Saw it today, it was great! The clip after the credits was cool! I wonder how much they paid him for that small of a part?
(voicing opinion without trying to give the ending away)
Yeah but why could not they have not found someone to be that character that looks the part from the comic.They did a great job with find Downy to play Stark.The "look" of that character is why I thought the character was so F'n awesome.
I hate it when they do a movie and change the looks of the characters from the comic.
And I wont bring up Ed Norton as Dr.Banner ,I thought the other guy played the part prefect.
To answer Solocaser I think the answer is:
Supreme Headquarters International Espionage Law-enforcement Division
In the comics, yes. But in the movie it was the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics DivisionLOPERO said:
This movie was Amazing! plus we got new trailer for The Dark Knight (I'd already seen a pirated version of it last week but whatever) I loved all the action and humor in it. I was the only one of my friends that got Rhodes' line "Next time, baby"
The movie chose the "look" for this character based on the pre-existing Marvel Ultimate Universe.
That "ultimate" comic character was modeled from that particular actor's appearance long before the actor was cast for that part.
... it's strange, but true, and that's what makes it so dang cool.
Wow..thank you for explaining that I did not know and or look at it like that.
I still see that character(not giving away who is being discussed) through the eyes of a eight year old when I first read/saw this character.
Boy ,do I feel old in not knowing this characters appearance was changed at some point.No wonder I odd looks when I comment that "thats not him"
I am sorry to come across so judgemental of the choice of the actor .Then they most certainly got it right
Saw the late show on Friday, awsome will cover it cause TDH is a family friendly site. But also on that note, you should be punched in the head if you miss out on seeing this movie in theaters.
But since I saw the 10:15 pm showing and I had to be at work at 05:30 am today I didn't stay untill the very end of the credits... Can someone PM what happened, I can't wait till next payday to go find out .
And to answer your question Solo, I litteraly slapped myself for not putting the acronm together sooner.
Is it just me, or did the ending remind any of you of how very similar XXX's (both) endings are? :P Cant wait for the Hulk
I gotta agree with everyone else's comments about the flick. AWESOME!!!! I wish i would read this earlier so I would have known to stay for the end credits, but I was afraid of spoilers!!!
Unless you have something really pressing going on right after; anytime you go to see a movie, especially stuff like this always stay till after the credits!
"Recent" movies I can think of off the top of my head with stuff either midway through or at the end of the credits:
All 3 Pirates of the Caribean
X-Men 3
Iron Man
that's just what I can think of right now when I'm half asleep and not really trying.
Make it a habbit!
i think Harold & Kumar 2 also has somethin after the credits...
yeah from the voice, i know, it was HIM...
hey guys,
i was away for the weekend(traveled to Cleavland for Gigantour) just got home to catch up on everything.
Ok here we go...some info!!! Did anyone catch the marvel logo in the beginning of the movie? It has changed to "Marvel Studios." Marvel has started their own studio with Paramount Pictures to make the movies. The reason we never heard or seen other heroes in other movies was due to the movies being owned by
different studios. For example Spider-man is owned by Sony Pictures and X-men is by Fox. Due to that, they can't cross, Now with Marvel having their own studio, the heroes can show up anywhere.
So Iron Man ie Tony Stark can show up in The Hulk! Future movies being worked on are:
Iron Man 2
Captain America
The Avengers
Black Panther
Nick Fury
As far as X-men go, the script for Wolverine is done but hasn't been started yet. Young Magneto's script is still being worked on and apparently won't be started till after Wolverine. And X-men 4 is on hold because of the other two movies and the original actors are wanting more money and making it difficult like Halle Berry did for X-men 3.
ok thats enough for now!
To the contrary, they have started filming the Wolverine movie. Here are some set picsMakan said:
Liev Schrieber as Sabertooth
and of course Hugh as Wolverine
so i was wondering, after tony crashed in the desert near the beginning, did anyone else think, "look sir, droids!"
I was thinking it when the Terrorist guys from The 10 Rings went looking for the parts :P
btw ive got some release dates here for you for the next movies all confirmed from Marvel, seen here. [COLOR=#0000ff]http://marvel.com/news/moviestories.3493.Marvel_Movies_Assemble%21[/COLOR]
"Marvel Entertainment released their first quarter report to its shareholders this morning to coincide with the announcement about the success this past weekend of Marvel Studios' first production Iron Man, which grossed an estimated $104.2 million domestically and over $201 million worldwide. The announcement included an update of Marvel Studios' feature film slate with the already-rumored Iron Man 2 announced for a release on April 30, 2010, followed by three more movies for the summers of '10 and '11. Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010, and The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) will kick off the summer of 2011 on May 6, followed by the highly-anticipated and foreshadowed The Avengers scheduled for July 2011. (Edgar Wright's Ant-Man is also listed as being in development with no release date set.)
In a conference call this morning, Marvel Studios' David Maisel said that Iron Man 2 will be used to introduce Thor. Regarding more "Hulk" movies, Maisel said "We definitely plan on continuing." He added that development continues on Spider-Man 4. "I can't give any other updates other than to say it's in development and everybody's excited about 'Spider-Man 4,'" he said.
With that in mind, one can start expecting a lot more announcements in the coming months about creative teams and casting for those movies including who might direct the Captain America and Avengers movies. (Whomever plays Steve Rogers AKA Captain America presumably will be making two movies at once.)"
So to recap:
Iron Man 2 - April 30, 2010
Thor - June 4, 2010
The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) - May 6, 2011 The Avengers - July 2011
Hope that makes everyone that little bit happier

I'm not happy with the 2010! I want it now!
I got the shield right when he said it. The thing at the end just topped everything! It was the best marvel movie yet. Does anybody else hate those fantastic 4 movies? I think they're no good what so ever. Maybe it's just me.
I kinda liked the Fantastic 4 movies. I don't read comics though so that may have something to do with it. My exposure to the Marvel characters is limited to cartoons and movies from childhood (OK and some now too LOL), reading the packages on the toys that I think look cool, other people talking about them, and reading some character backstories on Wikipedia when a new movie is coming out so I get a better idea of what's going on.
I knew who was in what was referenced at the end of the movie after the credits and I knew the name of the person saying it, but not much more than that.
I grew up reading the comics, so I like things to be kinda close to those in the comics. I think they had the wrong actors for the fantastic 4. Robert was the perfect Iron Man. I don't know why they change things, but kinda understand for the new gen and all. Just my two cents.
this movie was tense!!! just saw it tonight, and i have to say, it wasnt probobly the best marvel movie yet, it was the best. the CGI was very convincing, and the actors were perfect. Loved it, and highly sugest it.
I just came home from seeing it. That was a lot to put into 2 hrs, but they did it and I loved every minute of it.
Everyone said 'Stay though the credits' because there's a surprise at the end. I did. Those are LONG credits. I think they hired extra people just so they could list more credits. It was worth it, I was surprised, and happy.
Ive found that a good way to entertain yourself and your friends while waiting through credits is to read aloud the strange names some of the people involved have
P.S. the farther you get down the credits, the funnier the names get
Agree that this movie was the best Marvel Movie yet. I did not stay for the credits. What was shown? I think that its been awhile since the movie has been out so it would be OK to say what was shown at this point. Was it just a quick shot of the Hulk? Hulk and Stark? Thanks.
Paul D.
It was a scene introducing the leader of shield.
if you know the comics you know who were referring to. Played by sam jackson.
The captain america shield laying on the desk was pretty cool too. In the scene where he says 'lets face it this isnt the worse thing you have caught me doing'.
I understand that the sequel is centered around war machine.

Protecting the future of agriculture
WASHINGTON — In communities across our nation, no tradition runs deeper from generation to generation than that of working on a family farm.

Homeowners' Search for Energy Efficiency Creates Opportunities for HVAC ContractorsWith energy prices soaring to new record heights, homeowners are showing increased interest in projects that provide greater energy efficiency in their homes, according to the recent Remodeling Market Index survey by the National Association of Home Builders. Among remodelers surveyed, 33% report that their clients increasingly ask for home improvement projects that will enhance the energy efficiency of their homes. In the plumbing and HVAC arena:
"It's no surprise with rising energy prices and other costs draining the piggy bank that homeowners want to maximize home performance with green remodeling options," said Lonny Rutherford, NAHB remodelers chairman. The quarterly Remodeling Market Index measures remodeler perceptions of market demand for current and future residential remodeling projects. These figures do not include similar types of jobs that may have been done by plumbing and HVAC contractors. |

Travel Snapshot: Still So in Love with the Dreamliner's Auto-Dimming Windows
Ahh, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, currently the most advanced passenger aircraft to take to the skies. Although it's now over two years since the first airline (ANA) received the keys, there's still plenty of flyers out there waiting for their chance to experience a Dreamliner.
In addition to new features like improved fuel efficiency, increased passenger comfort, fancier lighting, gentler pressurization, and bigger overhead bins, we're pretty enthralled by the windows!

How to Get Onboard an Air Canada Boeing 787 Dreamliner (and for How Much)
At this time last year, spotting a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in the skies was quite the rare occurrence. But as the aircraft's teething problems have calmed and more tails roll off the factory floor, airlines are more eager than ever to welcome the efficient jet into the fold.
LAN became the first airline in the Americas to add 787s to their fleet, welcoming the aircraft back in early September 2012. United soon followed, with the title of first in North America that November. Since then, however, no other American airlines have picked up the keys to a Dreamliner.
Air Canada is about to break that dry spell as they prepare their hangars for 787s, to be delivered in spring 2014 and running test routes both domestic and transatlantic until summer. The initial regular routeToronto to Tel Avivcommences in July, 2014 and seats are already on sale, beginning at $1,400 roundtrip (we even found availability in all classes for July 1 on AC084).
[Update 8am December 6, 2013: Air Canada has just announced that also beginning July 1, 2014 will be nonstop flights on the 787 from Toronto to Tokyo-Haneda! This will be the only daytime flight from North American to Haneda, and the only nonstop from a Canadian airport to Haneda, which is a more convenient airport to downtown Tokyo than Narita.]
By 2019, the airline will have 37 total 787s in the skies (15 787-8 and 22 of the stretched 787-9s), so Toronto to Tel Aviv is only just the tip of the route map.

The Inside and Out of Australia's Very First Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Yesterday, we gave you a first hand account of our Aussie contributor's impressions on his first ride in a Dreamliner. Now we can finally show you the photos inside and out of the newest Jetstar aircraft to take to the skies.
This is the first 787 for Australia and it has understandably created much fanfare down under. For the first few weeks, the plane will be carting Aussies around the country between Melbourne, Cairns, and the Gold Coast, but will then transition to flights to Bali-Denpasar.

My First Time on a Boeing 787: A Dreamliner Virgin Flies Jetstar
Last week we brought you the inaugural of Jetstar's newest little toy, a shiny Boeing 787 Dreamliner. As the first 787 in Australia, the plane is affording a new batch of travelers their first taste of modern aviation innovation, and our Aussie contributor is one such flyer. Here, he shares his impressions of a first flight on the Dreamliner:
As soon as Jetstar announced their newest bird would be flying from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, I jumped online and purchased tickets, psyched to finally fly this state-of-the-art aircraft for myself, after watching what felt like every other continent get their chance. My base in Brisbane is an easy drive to the Gold Coast Airport, and I jump at any chance to visit Australia's culture capital of Melbourne, so the decision was an easy one.

The Dream Finally Takes Flight Down Under: A Peek at Jetstar's Boeing 787
Today, November 13, Australian low-cost airline Jetstar premiered its Boeing 787 Dreamliner, flying from Melbourne to the Gold Coast.
As the very first Dreamliner to wear an Australian tail number, VH-VKA is a breath of fresh air for Jetstar, featuring amenities such as USB charging in each seat, video on demand and adjustable headrests. This is all in addition to the features that come standard in every new 787, such as larger, auto-dimming windows, LED lighting, and improved cabin ambiance.

The Best Seats on the British Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner (Plus 40 Photos!)
Flights from New York to London are almost as frequent as a bus service; there's nearly one every hour. The majority fly between New York's JFK Airport and London-Heathrow, but switching it up and choosing the British Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner departure from Newark's Liberty International Airport means picking the plane with most pizzazz.
With 35 seats in Club World (business), 25 in World Traveller Plus (premium economy) and 154 in World Traveller (economy), the 787 is no jumbo jet. Instead, we'd say it's more of a boutique experience, a specialty service of sorts which brings all the fun new stuff of the Dreamliner to the transatlantic routes typically served by the same ol' same ol'.
We've already detailed what the BA 787 has that other airplanes don't, and now it's time to go inside.

What the British Airways 787 Dreamliner Has That Other Airplanes Don't
An average day sees 12 British Airways planes soaring up into the skies on their way from New York to London. Only one is a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Perhaps you've already heard about the advantages of the new 787the quieter cabin, lower interior pressure, larger windows, improved fuel efficiency, automatic toilets, and general spaciousnessbut since each airline can do what they want with their 787s, this often means further improvements beyond the standard.
So why is this 787 so special, and why should you pony up to enjoy it in BA's version of Business Class, "Club World?" Here's just a few reasons to book it and make the trek to Newark:

All the Boeing 787 News You Missed Over Labor Day Weekend
· British Airways' 787 took off to Toronto. It flies! Well, we already knew that. They were a half-hour late in arriving, but we wouldn't have wanted an inaugural on a 787 to end early, either. Check out our gallery to see more.
· British Airways adds Austin, TX to the 787 routes. While we're on the topic of the BA 787, might as well mention that this morning held the huge announcement of a new route to come in spring 2014: London to Austin, TX. The first flight will happen in March, bringing a second international destination to Austin Airport, which currently only has over-the-border flights to Mexico.

AeroMexico Says '�Hola!' to Their First Boeing 787 Dreamliner
After far too many months of Instagram posts that aren't very exciting, AeroMexico has begun to use the photography social media site to brag about their newest bird. In fact, the Mexican airline is not only snapping pics of a 787 Dreamliner of which they've just taken delivery, but are letting the cameras roll with some 'Instavids', and we can't be happier.
A few weeks ago, the airline began getting its followers excited with a countdown to the delivery date of the new Boeing aircraft, using the hashtag, #AMBoeing787. A week before AeroMexico took the keys to their (big) baby, their account was active with a few videos. A cool one showed off the 787 getting painted in time-lapse, while another offered a peek at it pulling out of the hangar and taking to the skies.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner Suffers Fire at London's Heathrow Airport, Investigation Underway
What a week of ups and down in aviation, and there's one more in store as news hit earlier than an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner suffered a fire while on the ground at London-Heathrow International Airport.
Details of the circumstances are scarce as the investigating agencies look into exactly what happened, but the important preliminary questions (like 'was anyone killed?') have been answered. Here's what we know right now:

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner Rides Again: First Flight Dates for Each Airline
For the first time in nearly three months, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is in the headlines for a positive reasonthey're returning to the skies! Of course, this comes after battery fires and millions upon millions lost by grounding the jets, but stillgood news.
According to Reuters, the fix required for the airplane's batteries won't be a cheap one, as the FAA "pegged the cost of repairing United's six jets at about $2.8 million." The installation of the modified lithium-ion batteries in Dreamliners should be complete by mid-May, meaning tickets are again being sold for 787 flights.
There are currently 50 Boeing 787 Dreamliners in service with airlines, all of which will be "fixed" and flying again as soon as the airlines can handle it. Here's the dates for when airlines expect their 787s to again fly with paying passengers:

A Little Smoke Can't Stop, Won't Stop the Boeing 787 Dreamliner
"Everyone on the bus!"
It was a nippy morning outside of Seattle and two loads of Boeing top brass and members of the press were being bussed out onto the tarmac at the airline manufacturer's Paine Field Airport. This would be the very first peek inside the shiniest airplane on the flight line before ANA/All Nippon Airways flew her away to Tokyo. The other airplanes on the tarmac, windows still blacked out and engines still unconnected, could have felt nothing but jealousy (if airplanes had feelings, that is).
This was 16 full months ago, in September 2011, when Boeing first delivered a 787 Dreamliner to a customer airline. We were there, onboard that bus, and then, later, inside that plane, running our palms over the new seat fabric and imagining the thousands of eager travelers who'd sit in each individual seat during only the first few months of service. Would they know what a special plane they were on?

Fact Sheet for Bat Habitat Inspection and Batproofing in Childrens' Camps
Camps are usually located in areas that are prime habitat for bats and other wildlife, and the type of construction in camp buildings is often conducive to roosting bats. Bats are frequently encountered in the camp setting. If people are sleeping in cabins with bats, or children are handling bats found on the ground, rabies exposures can occur. Bats that are infected with rabies are often mistaken for injured animals when they are found flopping around on the ground. Abnormal behavior seen in rabid bats includes being on the ground, landing on someone, and flying during the day. Occasionally, there is no obvious abnormal behavior, so all contact with bats and other wild animals should be reported to the camp nurse.
Camp buildings and cabins, particularly those used as sleeping quarters, should be For questions on inspections or batproofing, please contact your local health department for more information.

Leonard Nimoy is set to come out of retirement to reprise his Spock role in the new Star Trek blockbuster.
The 2009 sci-fi reboot cast younger actors as the series' famed characters, with Zachary Quinto stepping into the role of Spock.
Nimoy still featured in the hit movie as an older version of the character, but he announced in 2010 he was retiring from acting and was happy to let Quinto take the reins of his iconic hero.
But new US reports have indicated that he will star in the sequel to the reboot.
When asked by CNN whether he would appear in the follow-up, Nimoy replied: "We're talking. We're talking."
Editors at movie site Ain't It Cool News then reported they have "compelling independent confirmation that Nimoy is absolutely in the new film".
The untitled Star Trek sequel will hit cinemas in 2013.

Great work but why a 1969 theme when neither show is from 1969 or close to it
i've just made an alternate ftd fashion for a king cd cover, would like to know your comment.
Great work but why a 1969 theme when neither show is from 1969 or close to it
Lovely job, i agree about the 69 theme, but yet again FTD used it too ...........
cool stuff. thanks, steve
Great! But would preffer two lay outs and with pics to match timeframe (1974 & 1975). Love the lettertype/fond you used and the style!!!
thanks for the comment, can't get hq pictures of black suit, so i use these instead.
here's another one....

Really great , anychance of large pics to download ?
WOW! Both are amazing pieces of work! Great job, friends.
I like the fact that you chose a '69 photo for the front cover of the CD to keep in theme with the front cover of the book. One thing you might want to consider is perhaps using 2 small pictures on the back cover from the Omaha '74 & Vegas '75 shows that the CD's contain, to match the contents of the CD's.
Definitely a nice design though, and if I had to choose between the black suit or white suit covers, I like the black suit one just a little better...
Keep up the nice work my friend!!

thanks for the comment!
Great set, love it

Johnny Depp Interview
"The Chemistry Was There": Johnny Depp On Penelope Cruz
Page 1 of 2
Quick Bio
Johnny Depp's inching into his late 40s. He maintains a boyishly handsome puss, accessorized with nerdy glasses and a Sinatra-style alpine hat. His sense of style plays into that aura of the sensitive, self-effacing artist -- a type of personality that blends naturally with the one character most closely associated with him, Captain Jack Sparrow. The same sense of magic that inhabits the fictional Sparrow's eccentric behavior comes out in the twinkle in Depp's eye, even if the real man keeps his real-life sense of mischief more muted.The Kentucky native successfully made the transition from teen idol in TV's 21 Jump Street to the award-winning leading man in Edward Scissorhands, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Alice in Wonderland, and the massively successful Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The latest entry in the series, On Stranger Tides, positions Depp alongside Penelope Cruz as the pirate's star-crossed lover.
At the press roll-out for Disney's latest blockbuster, which hits theaters May 20, Depp told us how easy it was for him to invoke chemistry on-screen with the Spanish heartthrob.
You've now played Captain Jack Sparrow for a decade of your life, more or less. Does playing him come easily to you?
Johnny Depp: Every character you play has parts of you in it, and there's some of me in Captain Jack. But now there's probably more of Captain Jack in me now. He won't leave me alone. He showed up this morning as I was getting my kids ready for school, but I managed to shoo him away.Would you ever want to be free of Jack Sparrow?
JD: With a character like Captain Jack, I don't know if you ever feel like you're really done with him. If they want to keep me in the part and roll me out in years to come as Jack in a wheelchair, I'll be up for it.So, if Jack Sparrow is always hovering around, does that mean you fantasize about living his pirate's life?
JD: No, I'm just looking for smooth sailing. After you become a family man, you realize that's all you want for the good of your loved ones, your kids.Johnny Depp dishes on Penelope Cruz next...

MacBook Pro Retina LAN gaming (Borderlands 2)
One of my friends and I have both have a MacBook Pro with Retina, and we are trying to play a game through steam together (Borderlands 2). My internet is very slow however, and I was wondering if there is any way to simply play over the WLAN that the MacBook projects out itself in the absence of an internet source when using applications such as AirDrop. We are in the same room and there just seems like there has to be a better/faster way than going through the router, since it is so slow it keeps throwing me out of the game. I tried using Hamachi, but I didn't really get anywhere with that. If this is not possible is there any way to just link the computers together with some sort of thunderbolt cable, since there is no ethernet cable and I would like to avoid buying an adapter.

Figured it out!
Thanks everyone for your help...
But I figured it out finally. So for future people trying to figure this out: If you go up to the wifi icon on the menu bar at the top of the screen, one of the two players can make a "ad hoc computer-to-computer network" by clicking "create network." Then the other person joins that network at the bottom of their list of networks. Then start up both games and change Network options to LAN. Finally click find game and click on the persons character. |

I was trying to do the same thing with my girlfriend but it didn't work.. We got 2 macbook, I set up a computer-to-computer network just like you did, then she joins the network and we launch the game through our 2 steam accounts in offline mode. We both set up the game settings to "LAN" but then we didn't see each other. I think the problem might come from the "Sharing" settings in "System Preferences". What are your settings? Did you turn on "File Sharing" or anything else? Thanks! |

Update | Nov. 25 The news that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York intends to accept the position of secretary of state in the Obama administration opened a new chapter in Mrs. Clinton's historic career. But in fact, starting with Martin Van Buren, seven others — all men — have served as both senator from New York and secretary of state, a testament to the disproportionate influence New York has had on the nation's foreign affairs and diplomatic history.

Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies
With the CIIS Independent Travel Research Grant, I was able to spend twenty days in Ecuador. My research was to see how El Guabo Association of Small Banana Farmers has managed to work so efficiently to independently manage a supply chain of bananas and create an island of development in the region. I was able to spend 7 days in El Guabo (El Oro Province), where the head office of the small banana farmers association is located. I was only able to interview the administrative staff working in the office. It was very difficult to get hold of the farmers; however, the staff at the head office told me their answers to my questions would be the same as the farmers had I been able to conduct interviews with them.
In 1997, 14 farmers from Southwestern Ecuador organized themselves and founded El Guabo Association of Small Banana Producers (which is registered under (FLO) Fair-Trade Labeling Organizations International and is shareholder of AgroFair) to compete for an equitable price in the world market. Fair Trade gives these small farmers access to the international market and competes with the multinational corporations. The AgroFair is the third party involved in empowering the farmers with small holding of lands whose produce is not as large as multinationals.
To protect the small banana farmers, El Guabo and the farmers sign a contract saying that El Guabo will pay the farmers a fixed price which is not the case with the multinationals. Signing contracts with El Guabo protects the farmers from an international decrease in the banana price. However, the banana producers who are selling their bananas to multinationals are not protected from international banana price fluctuations.
In an interview with the administrative staff of El Guabo, the director of public relations said that "With Fair Trade we have an incentive to invest in social programs that benefit producers and the community. We also receive higher incomes to sustain ourselves. If it were not for Fair Trade, we wouldn't exist as banana producers since the amount we receive for a box of conventional bananas does not cover our expenses."
In addition to the fair price, small farmer cooperatives and plantation worker organizations receive a premium to invest in education, healthcare and crop diversification.
I found that Fair-Trade bananas have a limited market because not everyone buys it. It has a market in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Scandinavian countries, and the US. Within Ecuador no one buys fair trade bananas because it is more expensive than the conventional banana which is the biggest dilemma of expanding fair-trade. The consumers of fair-trade bananas are either environmentally conscious and care about human rights or have money. Education about the importance of fair trade will create more market around the globe. One of the challenges that El Guabo might face in the future is that their members will grow but their market will not grow at the same rate.
El Guabo can be an exemplary farmer co-operative for farmers in developing countries who are struggling to compete in the international market as they have managed their own supply chain independently. The income that they generate from the fair-trade bananas is diverting them from the dependence of government annual budget.

Leonard climbing up the rookie ladder
San Antonio Spurs fans have seen Kawhi Leonard go from unproven rookie to consistent role player in a matter of months.
Leonard, the much-anticipated rookie who the Spurs picked up in a swap that gave them their highest draft selection since they selected Tim Duncan with the first pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, proved himself early on with big rebounding numbers in very little playing time.
Now with added minutes and a bigger role, we're started to see his heralded potential and exactly what he is capable of. In fact Leonard's emergence likely could've given the Spurs front office some extra comfort in trading away Richard Jefferson, who started all 41 games for the Spurs prior to the trade.
But we aren't the only one's taking notice of Leonard's recent play. Before his 19 point, nine rebound performance against the Kings on Wednesday, NBA.com released their latest rookie ladder listings. Leonard moved up to sixth n the list, moving ahead of Minnesota's Derrick Williams and Cleveland's Tristan Thompson.
The Spurs have won five straight and Leonard continues to be a key factor to this team's success. Sunday, in the final game of a back-to-back-to-back, Leonard notched his fourth career double-double with 11 points and 10 boards in a win over the Sixers. Even Leonard, who at 20 years old is the Spurs' youngest player, admits he was feeling fatigue. "It's definitely tiring on your body, playing three games in a row, competing and going hard," Leonard said. "You feel it." Leonard doesn't show signs of slowing, though. In Tuesday's win in Phoenix, the youngster had 14 and seven in 31 minutes.
Leonard is yet another weapon on a very deep Spurs team that Tim Duncan says is the deepest he's ever had.
With just one game left in March, Leonard is averaging 11 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 54.3 percent shooting from the field this month. Aside from what he's done stats-wise, he's also spent time defending the opposing team's best perimeter defender, which will be key in the playoffs.
While it's unlikely he will have a chance at winning Rookie of the Year, with Kyrie Irving pretty much etching his name in that trophy already, Leonard likely has the best chance in this rookie class to bring home some real hardware in just a few months.

These lyrics from the song "Forever Young" keeps repeating on my mind. Sam Concepcion's rendition of this song kept it stuck in my head eversince I heard him sung it in one of the events in Ortigas a few years ago.
Yes, a lot of us would want to be live and be forever young—to stay healthy and look young. But staying in this state in your lifetime is no easy process if you want to it through the natural way. Determination and discipline in your lifestyle is necessary if you want to achieve this goal.
Here are some tips which could help you in accomplishing this:
- Eat healthy foods. You may have heard this almost every time but eating healthy food really is the first step in having that youthful glow. Stay away from junk foods as much as possible. And always remember, eat like a queen in the morning, a princess in lunch, and a peasant in evening.
- Take vitamins. Sometimes, the nutrients we need everyday cannot be sustained by the foods we are eating alone. Supposed you follow the food pyramid, imagine all the foods you have to consume. Good thing scientists have found a way to pack up all the vitamins and minerals we need in a tablet. You could always buy these in drugstores nationwide. However, be always keen in choosing the right brand.

Thanks for the recipe! I will be making it "as is". No reason to fear fat! Eating fat doesn't make you fat and in fact helps the body to absorb many nutrients! Taking this recipe and making is completely home made with left over bread to make crumbs, organic chicken and tomatoes! |

Why not use panko bread crumbs and season them yourself. As the recipe is, it is too much sodium. |

This sounds good but my mommas cheap version would probably have less calories. Throw some chicken in a pan, cover it in sauce and cheese and pop it in the oven. |

Good Grief, Meg. This recipe looks good, except for the SODIUM content; 1/2 of the daily limit in just this recipe. I thought these recipes are supposed to be heart healthy. You could use ingredients with less salt. There are restaraunt cheeseburgers with less sodium content. |

This recipe is a favorite of mine. I took the suggestion to bake the chicken instead of frying, and I don't exactly measure the cheese on top, but it's reduced fat! I find that if you butterfly the chix breast, then pound it, the cutlet is thinner, so the meat gets more flavor through it! Yum... |

This gave me an idea. I used chicken legs.. Dip them in tomato sauce with herbs. Then into corn meal with parm cheese. Finally baked at 350 for 45 minutes. Came out great. But I wouldn't have thought of it unless I had read the ingredients. No cheese nor butter, so it was lower in fat. :) |
Submitted by: JOYLJL (4/21/10) report inappropriate |
instead of dipping the chicken in egg, I marinate my chicken for 6 hrs or overnight in low fat buttermilk before I dip it into a bread mixture. The buttermilk REALLY makes the chicken tender and it will NOT dry out when cooking. Also, to cut down on calories, use a low fat cheese. YUMMY!!! |

Don't Bread, use cooking spray, kraft fat free shredded mozzarella cheese less calories. I/2 cup of cheese if 4 oz. or am I wrong? |
