Burning music to CD using iTunes on another computer
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I have an external hard drive with an iTunes library full of songs I want to burn to CDs. Am I able to burn these on a computer that already has another person's iTunes library data on it?
- Heather
A: This is definitely possible, however, iTunes can only burn music to CD that is already in an iTunes library, so in order to use iTunes for this you will either need to import the music from your external hard drive to the other person's library or create a new, separate library on that computer to temporarily store your music.
Keep in mind that iTunes is not the only software application that can be used to burn audio CDs, so it may be worth checking to see if the computer in question has another CD burning software package installed. Some applications will allow you to burn tracks directly from an external hard drive without needing to create or import them into a library first.
To use iTunes, your best option is to simply create an alternate iTunes library on the other computer. You can do this by starting iTunes while holding the SHIFT key (Windows) or OPT key (Mac), which will display a dialog box providing you with an option to create a new library or choose an alternate existing library.
Choose the Create Library option and then select a folder to store the new library in when iTunes prompts you for this information. It doesn't really matter where you put this, as it's only going to be a temporary library, and we won't actually be copying the music files from your external hard drive, merely adding them to an iTunes library database.
Once you've done this, iTunes should start up with a new, empty library that you can use to import the music from your external hard drive. Before you do this, however, you should take a trip into the iTunes preferences and ensure that the option to Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library is UN-checked.
This will ensure that when you import your files from your external hard drive into the new iTunes library, they are not actually copied to the computer's local hard drive, but instead simply referenced from that existing location. This will save both time and disk space on the other person's computer.
Once you have this setup, simply use the Add to Library option found on the File menu in iTunes to import your music on the external hard drive into this new iTunes library. You can then proceed to burn CDs in iTunes from that library normally. Once you're done, you can use the same SHIFT/OPT key startup option above to switch back to the original iTunes library and then just delete the folder where you created the new iTunes library. If you changed it, you should also ensure that the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library is set back to its original setting, as some iTunes preferences are shared between multiple libraries.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man whose 12-year-old golden retriever ate five $100 bills hopes to be reimbursed by the federal government.
Wayne Klinkel tells the Independent Record that his dog Sundance ate the bills while he and his wife were on a road trip to visit their daughter.
Klinkel says he carefully picked through the dog's droppings, and his daughter recovered more when snow melted.
He says he washed the remnants of the bills and taped them together and sent them to the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing with an explanation of what happened.
The bureau's website says an "experienced mutilated currency examiner" will determine if at least 51 percent of a bill is present and eligible for reimbursement. The process can take up to two years.

Tax sale season is approaching, and in three weeks or so, Citizens Square will be filled with people bidding on hundreds, if not thousands, of properties that have fallen behind on their property taxes.
If you've never been to a tax sale, it can be mind-numbingly dull waiting for particular properties, listed by number and not by address, to come up for a bid.
And if you're interested in bidding on a property, thinking you can buy a home for a couple of thousand dollars, other bidders can make you feel awfully small. Many of the people who show up have a seemingly endless supply of money to buy properties.
The fact is, though, that few people who show up at these tax sales have any interest in owning a house or piece of real estate. Their hope is that whoever owns the property will decide they don't want some stranger to end up getting it for a fraction of its value and come forward and pay their taxes – plus 10 percent interest on what the bidder offered at the auction. The interest goes to the bidder.
If a property owner takes more than six months to come forward, that interest rate jumps to 15 percent.
So let's say someone offers $20,000 for a $60,000 house at the tax sale. They're betting the owner will come forward and pay that $2,000 in interest to keep the house, or $3,000 if more than six months have passed.
At a time when 10-year Treasury notes are paying only 2.9 percent and mortgage rates are still only about 4 percent – still close to rock bottom, as far as I'm concerned – that's a pretty good return on your money.
It can be exciting, I suppose, to bid on tax sale properties. I've never done it. I don't have any money.
But this year there are some particularly interesting properties up for auction. Among them are five properties along Dawkins Road in New Haven listed for a few hundred dollars each. And the owner is: the United States of America.
Gad, you think, the United States government is a deadbeat. It hasn't paid its property taxes, which, by the way, total only about $3,000 in total.
Somebody's head is gonna roll, you think, when the government finds that some yokel has bought federal property for a pittance, and the government is going to have to pay more than three times its going interest rate to get the property back.
Think again. It's not that unusual for federal property to end up in tax sales. Federal property is actually exempt from local property taxes, Auditor Tera Klutz said, so those taxes might actually be drainage assessments.
The property on Dawkins Road is part of the old Defense Logistics Agency property in New Haven, where the federal government used to store things like huge amounts of mercury, which is fun to play with but not good for you.
Got a hankering to buy it? Don't bother to try. Though the unpaid assessments are technically on the books, the property won't be for sale the day of the auction. Do you really think you could try to bully the federal government out of some land or money, anyway?

Best in Charlottesville, VA
NYC 'hound coming to Charlottesville for two nights over Memorial Day weekend. In need of two dinner recommendations in C'ville. One can be expensive, one moderately-priced (entrees in $15-22 range). Was hoping for one locavore and the other anything else.
We'll have been to L'Auberge Provencale the night before we hit C'ville; French restaurants fine if the compare (L'etoile?) but otherwise, we'd like to go in another direction. The girlfriend is vegetarian, but so long as there is something for her, no other constraints. We're looking for the best C'ville has to offer.
We had a great meal with a group of eight at Mas Tapas. Fairly expensive, the vegetarian choices are some of their best (don't miss the roasted tomatos, of all things). Sometimes there is quite a wait, and I have read some comments that suggest that the staff exercise preferential seating, yet we have talked to several Charlottesvillians who say it is their favorite restaurant.
I don't know the town well enough to recommend anything stong on locavore.
re: lawhound
I used to love Duner's but was less impressed on my last visit. Curious what others think.
Visit C'ville frequently and my hands down consistent favorite restaurant is C&O on the far end of the downtown mall.
For lots of other recs, search this board for Charlottesville. I've made lots of previous suggestions, all food types and price points,
Have a fabulous trip! Charlottesville is a really special place.
zocalo is really good. it's one of my favorite restaurants in cville. their menu rarely if ever changes, but they do everything perfectly. the chili dusted sea scallops with tostones and the grilled pork chop with roasted sweet potatoes are both excellent.
as far as french, i prefer zinc. it's on the way to the downtown area near the main street market. it's cheaper and the vibe is way more relaxed. they have traditional french dishes and great specials. i've had the moules in a saffron cream broth, excellent! i've also had frog legs cooked with a garlic butter and they were so tasty. i don't see either of those on the current menu, but regardless, zinc has great french bistro food.
re: mikeismora
I liked the food at Zinc but found the atmosphere cold. Will depend what you're in the mood for. You may want to poke your head in first. If you're at Zinc, make sure you stop by Gearhart's chocolate shop. I wasn't a real chocolate fan until I discovered Gearhart's.
re: Meg
yeah, the space isn't the best. it hasn't really changed much from when it was station. i haven't been in a while as i now live in dc, but i remember it was acceptable atmosphere wise when the house gets packed with diners and lively people at the front bar. then again, i've never seen zinc truly packed haha.
EXPENSIVE - Ivy Inn (out Old Ivy Rd.), Downtown Grill (on the Mall), (I would avoid OXO).
MODERATE to MOD+ - Hamiltons and C & O (both on Downtown Mall).
INEXPENSIVE+ - Mono Loco (burritos, etc.), Thai 99 (the one north of Rio Rd. is amazing), Mellow Mushroom (great pizza and beers on the Corner), Marco & Luccas (dumplings and noodles).
-Other local treats: Arch's frozen Yogurt & Spudnut donuts!!
If I had to pick two of the better ones I'd say Hamiltons and Ivy Inn. Thai 99 was our local place, dear to our hears.
re: NoVA
Love those spudnuts! Thanks for reminding me!
And for all you spudnut neophytes...http://spudnutshop.com/
re: Soup
You should try the Barbeque Exchange in Gordonsville!
It's about 20 minutes from town but they have the best BBQ I've ever had and it's absolutely worth the drive. They smoke the meat themselves out back, make a wide variety of homemade pickles (which they also serve fried), plus cornbread, mac and cheese, and all your favorite barbeque side dishes. Add in a good beer selection, incredible made from scratch desserts, and a reasonable price tag and you've got yourself a winner.
Here's their website with directions if you're interested... http://www.bbqex.com/
I had quite a nice meal at C & O Restaurant when I was in C'ville in January:
Oh - and there is this wonderful little drugstore on the Mall that has a lunch counter in the back - really wanted to try their pimento cheese sandwich.
re: MMRuth
The Milan Indian restaurant on Emmet is very good, and fiercely better than a pimento cheese sandwich in a drugstore.
Barboursville Vineyards just north does a nice single seating multi-course dinner with fun wine pairings in a beautiful setting. Jackets for men.
re: MMRuth
MMRuth, you know I am just funnin' you about the pimento cheese, but it does seem to be stalking me everywhere I go....:)
re: MMRuth
yep, Timberlake's is worth the visit. We have grilled cheeses and milkshakes at the counter with my girls. Frequented by John Boy..
Milan is pretty good for Indian, although I preferred Maharaja, which we dubbed "Miraja" because it's highly visible from the highway, yet fiendishly difficult to get to.
I also liked Zamzam Kabob, a little Persian kabob place which is also right off 29, up near the Doubletree.
It's been a couple of years isnce I have been to C'ville. We stayed/ had dinner at the Keswick. The setting is beautiful and we had dinner on the terrace which was lovely and the food was quite good. Also nice to stumble back to the room after the second bottle of wine. I did have a bit of an argument with the mgmt. Their policy was (though I could never find it in print) to add 20% for service. While I often tip more than that, I will not tip 20% on very expensive wine. It simply doesn't take any more care of effort to open a 250 dollar bottle of wine than it does a 40 dollar bottle of wine. I won the argument in the end, but I am not comfortable with my bill being altered without at least a conversation. I haven't been back as it soured the experience, but it was a beautiful spot.
For local foods, I'd recommend Orzo or L'etoile, both on West Main Street. Orzo is in Main Street Market, http://www.themainstmarket.com/. Feast is an amazing local foods grocery/cheese shop/lunch spot.
On Saturday morning you may want to check out the local farmers market, just off the downtown mall.
We just returned from our weekend in Charlottesville and I thought I would post my report. We ate two dinners and one lunch. We were there the Sunday before Memorial Day and Memorial Day itself. I know it's a holiday weekend without students but we were still shocked at how quiet and tame the city felt.
Zocalo, on the downtown mall - by far the most recommended place and a total disappointment. I wish we went to C&O instead. This place would never survive in Ann Arbor, MI, let alone NY, IMHO. Nothing was horrible, but almost everything was less than mediocre. Both a salad and the recommended cheese fritters (my fault for even ordering that, despite the recommendation) were insipid. The sauce on the fritters had some flavor, but Chili's-esque. Entrees were worse. Scallops were bland and tasted like nothing but the chili rub. Chili relleno was mild and pretty bad. Even the wine wasn't very good. At these prices, it amazes me that this place can exist.
Maya, on west Main St - we really liked Maya. It was our favorite place and we found ourselves getting drinks there on the night that we didn't eat here because it was the only place that even had people in it. Food was very good, though not amazing. We didn't order entrees, just appetizers and sides, but all were quite good and the place had a nice vibe. Served Bell's beer, which was a huge plus. We'd go back.
Little John's Deli on the Corner - very good, incredibly inexpensive sandwiches. We each liked ours very much; they're not huge, but at the price, it was still a value. We'd go back here, too.
Really bummed we didn't try C&O. It was closed Monday. In fact, we were shocked how many places were closed either Sunday, Monday or both. Guess we picked the wrong weekend to check out C'ville.
Thanks to everybody for their recommendations!
re: Jorel
Thanks so much for the report. It's always a treat to get feedback. Sorry to hear that you didn't have a stellar C'ville weekend, at least on the dining front. I have never been to Zocalo but know so many people that live in town or visit often and that's their go to spot. Which I've never understood. I've only ever been there for drinks and for some reason I just can't take the place seriously, as more than a bar that is. The atmosphere has never enticed me to stay for dinner. Maybe it's because my party crowd friends hang out there and I assume that the food is an afterthought.

Boscawen's History
This community was originally granted in 1732 as Contoocook, after the river of the same name. In 1760, the town was incorporated as Boscawen, in honor of an English admiral, Edward Boscawen, who fought under General Amherst in the conquest of Canada.
Admiral Boscawen was responsible for the capture of the fortress at Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. The Contoocook Fort on the Merrimack, one of the first log forts constructed for protection against the Indians, was built here in 1739. In July 1997, the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery was established by legislature in Boscawen on 104 acres previously used as a state forest. Feel free to learn more about Boscawen, NH!
More About Boscawen, NH
The Town of Boscawen is situated in Merrimack County, on the northern border of Concord, the Capital City of New Hampshire. We are also bordered by the Town of Webster, Salisbury, Franklin, and across the Merrimack River, Northfield and Canterbury.
With a population of approximately 3,900-4,000** citizens, Boscawen still manages to call itself a "small town" with plenty of room for all kinds of outdoor activities, family gatherings, and quiet living that helps make the Town of Boscawen a special place.

Final StatementsPosted by on September 5, 2009 – 8:48 am
For players on the roster bubble, Friday night's preseason finale against the Cowboys was their opportunity to make a final statement and showcase why they are good enough to be included on the Vikings 53-man roster.
There was a trio of Vikings that particularly stood out following the game. So, let's take a look at each of them and then see what Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress had to say about them:
RB Ian Johnson – Battling for the 3rd RB job with 2nd-year player Albert Young, Johnson had an uphill battle all of training camp and the preseason. But he's risen to the challenge constantly and the culminated last night in a 17-carry effort that saw him tally 61 yards rushing and 2 TDs.
"I thought Ian flashed," Childress said after the game. "He had some explosive runs there and I thought he circled the defense well. He also ran it inside between the tackles pretty well. As EB (RBs coach Eric Bieniemy) says, that's as good a group of running backs that we've entered camp with as any time since we've been here."
LB Kenny Onatolu – An underdog roster candidate out of the University of Nebraska-Omaha, Onatolu represented the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association well with the Vikings during training camp. And he put an exclamation point on his NFL career to date last night against the Cowboys by recording 5 tackles (1 for a loss) and 2 fumble recoveries.
"He's another guy that's a football player," Childress said. "He's a quick study, he's a guy that's been around as a gym rat ever since he could be back on March 17th. He hasn't missed any days…spends time in the building and his special teams obviously stands out, but he's really grown in the defense and you can see some of his explosive components and some of his speed to make plays."
WR Darius Reynaud – You hear constantly that the best way for bubble players to make the roster is to show the coaching staff that they can contribute on multiple phases. There is perhaps no better example of such a player than Reynaud, who not only takes reps during practice on several phases but also produces during games in several phases. Against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 of the preseason, Reynaud hauled in a 64-yard TD reception. And last night he housed an 81-yard punt return.
"He's a good football player," Childress said. "And not just a good receiver, he's a good football player. You saw him return some balls, he runs it down and covers on the kick team, he's a very good gunner. It's hard to play out there…you play in that vice out there now, that's hand-to-hand combat. You saw him do some explosive things…I'm happy for him."

Does anyone else love the one-cut, always moving forward but patient style of Ian Johnson? No side-stepping non-sense you usually see w/fresh out of college RB's, just moves until he finds a crease. And how awesome was that pile move on the goal line play last night? He's like a little AP in training! I know it's going to be hard to keep him with all the RB talent/depth we have, but I hope we do. I think he's going to have some success in the NFL with that style. He was awesome in college (I think he holds the WAC record for TD's).

Ian Johnson >>>>>>>>than Albert Young. Who needs a poor mans Scottie Graham like A.Young. We need to develop an explosive player like Johnson, hope we keep him!
By BigVike28 on Sep 5, 2009 | Reply
Absolutely agree with the S.Graham comparision but Young is no where as tough. Johnson proved that he can move a pile like optimistic said earlier, and had one of the fastest combine 40's. The guy can fly, just need to put some bulk on him and let him learn the fast paced NFL style. Albert Young, keep him at fullback and cut that worthless Tahi, but if I had to pick among the two, Johnson over Young, no brainer.

The sounds of generators fill south Wichita, three days after an EF-3 tornado ripped through the area.
Thanks to the portable power, street lights are temporarily up and running, and residents like Calvin Blackwood are able to get their lives somewhat back to normal.
"My cousin brought over a generator. I helped charge the neighbors' cell phones yesterday on it. We're doing the best we can. We got a little bit of power today, finally," said Blackwood.
Unfortunately, that little power is not enough for Blackwood's wife to run her business.
"My wife does home daycare, and she can't do the daycare, so we're losing that income this week," said Blackwood.
About five houses away from the Blackwood's, Paco Tuhro's family lost half their home. Tuhro says being without power makes it difficult for his family to try to get all their belongings out.
"Once it gets dark, it gets real dark. So, it kind of gives you a time frame, and they're trying to get the power back on, and they're trying to clean up, so you try to hurry, so they can do their job. It's a little frustrating," said Tuhro.
Many residents admit the storm has reminded them how much they take electricity and having a safe home for granted.
"You can't take a nice warm shower, or anything like that. It's nerve-wracking," said Barbara Crawford.
"It could have been worse. The house could have caved in and we'd have nothing at all."
Westar hopes to have power completely restored in Sedgwick County by Thursday.

Seconds save lives during a medical emergency, and now there's a new, hip way to quickly retrieve a person's information using what's known as NFC technology.
Samsung Galaxy made it easy to bump and share information and that same technology called near field communication, or NFC, could also help save a life.
In 2003, doctors diagnosed Angelo Pitassi III with diabetes.
"It's like taking your child home as a newborn for the first time," says Angelo A. Pitassi Jr., CEO/Co-Founder of HealthID Profile, Inc.
That feeling inspired Angelo Pitassi Jr. to create HealthID Profile, or (HIP) online mobile health management system.
"We use a, first, a cloud based storage solution," says Pitassi Jr.
Users receive a HIP code located on each HealthID product that they use to register. From there, they input all of their medical information including MRI's, EKG's, and x-ray's
Their unique hip code is also printed right on their HealthID band or card. With a simple tap, diabetic Michael Securo can instantly call up his medical information.
"I know if I go down, something happens, my sugar bottoms out, someone can get my information, have access to it immediately," explains Michael Securo a HealthID Profile User.
The HIP cards and bands use NFC chips to quickly retrieve a patient's information and all come with a medical alert symbol to alert first responders.
"The phone actually energizes the chip," explains Christopher Melo, CTO, HealthID Profile Inc. "The chip goes out to the cloud based service and displays the information on the phone."
If a first responder does not have an NFC device, they can simply go to www.healthid.com and enter a person's HIP code.
HealthID employees say they follow HIPPA guidelines and all medical information is securely stored. The NFC band costs $24 and the card costs $20.
Get HIP to Medical Identification
NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION: Near field communication, often referred to as NFC, is a way to communicate through smartphones and tablets. A cloud like server stores a person's information by NFC then transmits the information to the connected device. This is usually the method used for sharing photos and videos online and now it is being used for personal medical records and information through Samsung cell phones. This is a beneficial and easy method of locating a person's medical history. (Source: www.nearfieldcommunication.org)
HOW DOES HIP OPERATE?: By creating a HealthID profile (HIP) online, you can update your medical information, history, and records, such as X-rays, EKG's, MRI's etc. to a server. This server holds all personal information that is entered in the person's profile and it connects to a band, card, or cell phone. Once the account is created, a code is sent to the user and then the access is granted. A NFC chip is implanted in these devices, administering a user's information. (Source: www.healthid.com)
WHAT IT IS USED FOR: This HIP band was created by Angelo Pitassi, Jr. in hopes that this would bring relief to people who battle with disease, sickness, or serious physical injury. This simple technology allows emergency respondents, doctors, and family members to see a person's medical information if emergency were to strike. It can be looked at as an electronic medical file for emergency personnel to access when needed. This is very convenient for the elderly and sick. All they need to have on them is the band or emergency card, and they are safe if anything were to unexpectedly occur. (Source: www.healthid.com)

Will.i.am's Fans Call Him Out on Twitter Rant Against United
Yesterday, Will.i.am took to Twitter to complain about United Airlines but he didn't receive much sympathy from his fans.
The rapper arrived at the airport 45 minutes before an international flight from New York to China, only to find his seat had been given away.

Free Stuff Alert! Win Airfare and More with Alaska Airlines' Friday Scavenger Hunt
Have plans for tomorrow? If not, try to make your way out to Seattle, as Alaska Airlines is hosting a scavenger hunt in and around the city. We would probably play along just for some airline swag or a t-shirt, but what they're handing out to the winner is even better. To celebrate their order of a whole bunch of brand new Boeing 737-900ERs they are offering up a chance to drive one—at least in the simulator.
The airline will be revealing clues on both Instagram and Twitter beginning at 6am—local time—this Friday. Your job will be to use the hints to find spots in and around Seattle, and if you're the first to arrive at each location you might just score some time in the Boeing 737 flight simulator.

Hashtags Everywhere! Denmark's Tourist Sites are Ready for Your Selfie
Denmark sees its fair share of tourists throughout the year, and enjoys its position a quick train or plane ride away from other Northern European capitals. Alas, the goal is always to attract more tourists, and now the country's tourism board has figured a novel way to do so through social media. It's one part marketing and one part tourism, as they aid in promoting the country while also appealing to those already there.
The campaign involves posting street signs with suggested hashtags at Denmark's "most shareable places."

Spirit Airlines Sets Twitter to Auto-Pilot
You're probably pretty familiar with Spirit Airlines at this point. The ultra low cost carrier charges for this, that, and the other thing, and they're not exactly known for their customer service or putting flyers first. Now things are about to get even worse—or better—as the airline is kind of setting their Twitter presence on autopilot.
Spirit recognizes that keeping up with social media takes some time, and that time is money. That's why they just announced that they are planning to just rely on automatic responses to feed into their Twitter account. That means that if you're complaining to them through Twitter or just looking for a little bit of help all you can expect is an automatic reply.

Travel Contest Alert: Selfies are Good for Something, Like Winning a Trip to Croatia
Love them or hate them selfies are here to stay, so go ahead and use them to your advantage—like to score a free trip over to Croatia.
The country's tourism board is taking advantage of our social media narcissism, and they're rewarding one lucky person with a trip to the country. The rules seem pretty simple; basically you need to take and share a selfie using the hashtags #lovecroatia or #sharecroatia. After that a free trip might just be yours, as they're giving away round-trip airfare and a 7-night stay along the country's picturesque coast.

PEOPLExpress' First Flight Deals Go Out on Facebook
In case you missed the news, know that PEOPLExpress is heading into the skies above the nifty fifty once again, and tickets for the new low-cost carrier are definitely budget-friendly. If you don't completely trust a brand new airline enough to give them your vacation money, we understand, which is why following them and their deals on social media is a solid idea.
PEOPLExpress is already busy doing their thing over on Facebook, and you can head over there to see what they're up to. Unfortunately, we don't see any current promotions, contests, or other deals right now—but there is a good-looking picture of their plane in its white and green livery. The other day, however, their Facebook page teased a $40 discount, so long as those who wanted to book called into the 844-4FLYPEX number and mentioned it. No idea if they'll do this again, but it might be worth it to keep an eye out.

Come On, No One Actually Took That Dutch Girl's Twitter Threat Seriously
Apparently there's a debate happening on the Internet - so says the LA Times - over whether the 14 year old Dutch girl who tweeted a terrorist threat to American Airlines was "a victim of security excess" or an "idiot." To which we answer, why can't it be both?
You'll recall that Sarah - of the now-deleted @QueenDemetriax_ Twitter account - tweeted to @AmericanAir over the weekend that "hello my name's Ibrahim and I'm from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I'm gonna do something really big bye." The social media mavens at American responded exactly 6 minutes later (faster than they've ever done when, say, we've had a flight canceled) by publicly informing her that her "IP address and details will be forwarded to security and the FBI."

'The Lego Pilot' is the Greatest Thing on Social Media Right Now
Lindbergh. Earhart. Yeager.
Let's face itaviators are the epitome of cool. Heck, even fictitious pilots like Top Gun's Maverick get all the girls, so frankly we're shocked it's taken so long for the internet generation to devise a character as brilliant as The Lego Pilot.
Jetting around the world in his perfectly pressed uniform, The Lego Pilot spends days sharing his "office views" and favorite layover locations with fans on social media. Though his body may be made of plastic building blocks, his personality is very much alive on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. He's essentially a fully conceptualized and storified version of Lufthansa's "Pilot Diary" Instagram series from August 2013, which we heralded as "a revelation for airline social media."
Recent travels have transported The Lego Pilot to London, Hong Kong, Spain's Costa del Sol, Dubai, and Marrakech...and that's only since the beginning of March when the accounts initiated.
We won't spoil all the fun for you (follow him!), but below are a few of our favorite The Lego Pilot moments. Enjoy!

Exclusive: How the Ethiopian Hijacking Hit Twitter and Became a Social Media Emergency Lesson
At Jaunted, we strive to bring you the news, not be a part of the news. Today, we did both, and we wanted to take some time to talk about that.
Thousands upon thousands of retweets and shares, and even more regurgitation by general media, of our early and comprehensive coverage of this morning's Ethiopian Airlines flight 702 hijacking started the week. The news of the situation first broke out and took hold thanks to the diligent research and tweets of John Walton, aviation journalist, former contributor right here at Jaunted, and current Director of Data for Routehappy.
The bulk of the action transpired online around 6:00am local time in Geneva, or midnight in EST. The Twitters of John (@thatjohn), and of our own Editor, Cynthia Drescher (@JetSetCD), quickly became the top source accounts for updates on the situation (even yielding a recommendation from Twitter's Director of Data, @smfrogers), despite being 4,000 miles removed from Geneva.

KLM's 130 Social Media Agents Will Now Happily Book That Flight for You
We've said it before and we'll say it again now: KLM consistently kills it on Facebook. Even beyond Facebook, the airline does stupendously across the board with social media, and it's no wonder considering they employ 130 social media "agents" to answer the approximately 35,000 interactions on Facebook and Twitter every week.
With so much online action, KLM is now set to up their game by accepting payments via Facebook and Twitter, for everything from flight bookings and seat reservations to flight changes and extra baggage.

I found this recipe when I was looking for this recipe or one close to it. I tried this at Subway and really liked it. Subway always uses light Mayo. In this recipe the salt and pepper are optional. Use more or less mayo to suit your own taste and the same with the fruits. I like to add a few more fruits. There is no cook time unless you are cooking your chicken for this recipe. I use left over or canned.

The WhatsApp instant messaging app has suffered an outage just days after it was snapped up by Facebook for $19bn (£11.4bn).
WhatsApp, which has more than 450 million monthly users, said it was having "server issues" on Saturday night.
The firm tweeted at 8.16pm UK time: "We hope to be back up and recovered shortly."
Users reacted angrily, saying their chat conversations were only showing a loading asterisk and the alert "Connecting…"
Taylor ITWT16 said on Twitter: "As Soon As Facebook Buys Whatsapp, Whatsapp Starts Malfunctioning."
Jazzy Marwaha tweeted: "Its been like 4 hours, you would have thought they could sort whatsapp out by now."
By 10.30pm the service appeared to be working again.
Facebook announced last Thursday that it would pay $4bn (£2.4bn) in cash and $15bn (£9bn) in Facebook shares as part of the deal to buy the real-time messaging service.
The app's founders and employees will get $3bn (£1.8bn) of the shares as restricted stock that will vest over four years after the deal closes.
The purchase marks the largest single acquisition in Facebook's 10-year history.
WhatsApp will "continue to operate independently and retain its brand" despite the acquisition, Facebook said.
Founded by a Ukrainian immigrant who dropped out of college, Jan Koum, and a Stanford alumnus, Brian Acton, WhatsApp is a Silicon Valley startup fairytale.
The acquisition will also see Mr Koum – a former Yahoo! engineer – join Facebook's board of directors.
Facebook is known to make bold moves to thwart competitors – it famously bought Instagram for $1bn after a weekend of negotiations.

MLB.com's No. 6 prospect singled twice and drove in a run to extend his hitting streak to 15 games Friday as the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders beat the San Antonio Missions, 9-3.
Profar got his first hit out of the way early, beating out a grounder in the third inning. He singled home Jose Felix in the fifth and later scored on a throwing error by third baseman Edinson Rincon. Profar also reached in the ninth on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Mike Olt's seventh homer.
Profar's streak has come at the right time for the Curacao native. Entering play on April 19, the 19-year-old shortstop was batting .200. Since then, he's 19-for-59 to raise his average 62 points.
Profar, the 2011 South Atlantic League MVP, opened the season in a 2-for-26 slump. He's collected 25 hits, 12 for extra bases, over his last 19 games and is tied with teammate Engel Beltre for the league lead with four triples. Overall, he's batting .262 three homers, 11 RBIs, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases in 26 games.
Barret Loux, the Rangers' No. 19 prospect, allowed three runs on four hits over five innings to become the Minor Leagues' first six-game winner.
Olt, the Rangers' No. 3 prospect who also walked and scored twice, is tied for second in the league in homers.
