Vulture 1, Eyjafjallajökull nil (half time)
If the latest tranche of volcanic ash has cut off chunks of the UK from Europe again, it certainly didn't hit the traffic of the M25 yesterday morning. But as the taxi came out of the umpteenth 40mph zone, just ahead of the Terminal 5 turnoff the driver looked up to the sky and declared, "Nope, it's very clear. Not a plane in …
On the plus side
My friend currently in California may be forced to endure the lovely weather a while longer!
Typical Heathrow
"on the runway five minutes after the scheduled departure time"
So, practically empty airport, clear air-space, and you're still departing late...
Departure time is when you leave the gate
not when you leave the runway. Taxi time 5 min? not too bad. At Schiphol you sometimes get the impression they are going to taxi the plane the whole way
Departing where?
I always assumed that the quoted departure time was pushback from the gate. It's the getting from gate to take-off clearance in five minutes that's impressive for Heathrow. Normally it takes longer than that to taxi to the end of the queue.
Errrm, not that bad really...
You depart the *gate* at the scheduled departure time, Heathrow is quite large and it can easily take a slow moving jet 5 minutes to reach a runway, last time I was at Heathrow it took ~20 mins before I actually took off...
@mister cheese
Good point, maybe the should build a new runway ;)
Very poor!
Not one reference to jetpropulsionmeetsvolcanicdust-based boffinry! Boo!
C'm on. Drink up and get back to work ;-)
(You're in the pub across the road, not fuc*king continental Europe. I can see ya. Fooling no-one!)
And at first, I thought you were debating whether "P A R I S" could make it through the ash-cloud....Title of "Vulture 1" confused me a tad.
Break in the weather!
Breathtaking news - meteorologists have discovered they have an ash-hole!
cant now , the new Blue and Yellow multi-coloured government have decided its better to push those extra flights to other regional airports such as Birmingham...
We'll see what comes of it all...Probably a runway extension at BHX, as while it has the spare capacity, IIRC its not as long as would be ideal for some of today's larger jets...
Is it just me that thinks that when it comes to industrial relations BA are stuck in the 19th century (the rest of their operations at least having reached the 20th century) I'm sure they'd set the troops on the picket lines if they could.
Shame they can't look at the long game, it's obvious that their employees will have no loyalty going forward, but has it not occurred to them how this will affect people considering a career with them.
"It was almost as if BA wanted to at least keep up the pretence it was getting people on planes."
I imagine BA are loading the coaches to Edinburgh in much the same way - via the jetways.
"How was your day Lloyds?"
"Not bad, Harry, fell off the jet way again"
They advertise this?
Then maybe the dust cloud is BA's doing on ASA orders.
Now what does the BA union have to simper about this time then?
Terminal 5 ... a bland Eno track on constant play.
I think Eno was probably being ironic there. Come to think of it, you probably were too. Hmmm.. Will this make up for my ignorant comment?

To study the effects of peritoneal resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock.Methods for conventional resuscitation (CR) from hemorrhagic shock (HS) often fail to restore adequate intestinal blood flow, and intestinal ischemia has been implicated in the activation of the inflammatory response. There is clinical evidence that intestinal hypoperfusion is a major factor in progressive organ failure following HS. This study presents a novel technique of peritoneal resuscitation (PR) that improves visceral perfusion.Male Sprague-Dawley rats were bled to 50% of baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP) and resuscitated with shed blood plus 2 equal volumes of saline (CR). Groups were 1) sham, 2) HS + CR, and 3) HS + CR + PR with a hyperosmolar dextrose-based solution (Delflex 2.5%). Groups 1 and 2 had normal saline PR. In vivo videomicroscopy and Doppler velocimetry were used to assess terminal ileal microvascular blood flow. Endothelial cell function was assessed by the endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine.Despite restored heart rate and MAP to baseline values, CR animals developed a progressive intestinal vasoconstriction and tissue hypoperfusion compared to baseline flow. PR induced an immediate and sustained vasodilation compared to baseline and a marked increase in average intestinal blood flow during the entire 2-hour post-resuscitation period. Endothelial-dependent dilator function was preserved with PR.Despite the restoration of MAP with blood and saline infusions, progressive vasoconstriction and compromised intestinal blood flow occurs following HS/CR. Hyperosmolar PR during CR maintains intestinal blood flow and endothelial function. This is thought to be a direct effect of hyperosmolar solutions on the visceral microvessels. The addition of PR to a CR protocol prevents the splanchnic ischemia that initiates systemic inflammation.

Teen embeds car in Edinburgh basement
We're obliged this morning to reader Paul Moran for sending us a snap of what happens when you try and park a Ford Focus at an inadvisably high speed: Ford Focus embedded into Edinburgh basement According to the Beeb, the car was stolen in Wallyford in East Lothian on Monday, and eventually ended its journey on the corner of …
Sat Nav not to blame
If only the kid had followed the Sat Nav, this wouldn't have happened...
Not bad but...
in a talk by our claims dept (we shall remain nameless) we have a lovely shot of a 5 Series BMW on its side fully fitted into a basement void like this. It looked like it was carefully placed in the hole.
This lad gets 5 out of 10 for trying but really needs to aim a bit better next time to get the whole car in.
Remember "Don't say we'll pay...."
I'm guessing his satnav was struggling to keep up with him at the time and perhaps gave directions at the wrong moment.....they aren't too clever at high speed with lots of turns in a built up area so I've heard....
Multi Story?
The things you have to do to find a parking space these days.
Not so much Sat Nav as Chav Nav.
Shame he didnt get impailed on one of those spikes
I suppose they'll send him on a driving course to make him safer next time he steals a car, then send him on a safari to help build his self esteem and integrate him into mainstream society, poor kid.
Property Value Increased
The practical demonstration that you can park a Ford Focus in the basement void instantly added £10,000 GBP to the value of this property!
Bless his cotton socks...............!
Lets hope he does not sue the owner of the car for his cuts an brusies. No doubt some 'No win No Fee' laywer is speaking to him now to find a reason why the car should not have been on the road and that the car not the THIEF was to blame.
Oh course he could sue the owner of the house for the outside wall of the property jumping out in front of him odviously causing the crash ;-)
aptly named
Re: Title
It's Scotland, they don't talk about Chavs. This would be Sat-Ned.
Are we forgetting the Rise Of The Machines?
You are all a bit hasty in accusing the poor lad of crashing the car... maybe the cars security kicked in and decided to 'pull over' the car... maybe the car was trying to kill him through the usual means... we have seen a few examples already, some quite terrifying!
Was he the stupid bint's brother?
"I put my complete trust in the satnav and it led me right into the path of a speeding house. The house wasn't shown on the satnav, there were no signs at all, and it wasn't lit up to warn of an oncoming house."
Not like in my day
How difficult can it be to drive into a basement? We used to aim much higher. Youth of today, mumble grumble...
Kids today...
Clearly this is one of those kids who can't handle the chinease vector problem.
If he could then he'd have known that you can't ramraid a window below street level.
Resell the car
A bargain basement Ford Focus
Hint for thieves...
Focus on the road.
I'll get my coat.
This is obviously a hoax!
You can clearly see shadows in the picture.
Shadows implies sunshine ... and yet this is supposed to have occurred in Scotland?
Female driver
It couldn't have been a 16 year old boy - he must be covering for the woman who was obviously driving!
Blame it on the cruise control . . .
. . . I plan on using the cruise control answer, next time I'm pulled over at 90+ mph*.
"Office, the cruise control LET me set it at 90, blame the manufacturer."
* here in america, you can set the cruise control that high.
Sheila's Wheels.................
Here in the UK, I can set my cruise control that high too. And they do use 'chav' in Edinburgh, though ned is preferred around the rest of Scotland AFAIK. I'd never heard of chavs until about 5 years ago.
Basement...easy. First Floor...harder.
Remember this incident (the BBC story has a picture)
Chav nav?
Chav nav is more accurately described as the small black, wrist-watch like device chavs (or neds) wear aorund their ankles which ensures they are home for 8pm each evening.

Journal Broadcast Group Milwaukee Announces Promotions. From Tom Langmyer, VP/GM of radio operations for Journal Broadcast Group's Milwaukee stations – news/talk WTMJ and adult hits WLWK "94.5 The Lake" – come the following promotions: Tom Sheridan is promoted to director of sales from his GSM position. The company says in this role, Sheridan has a more clearly defined, overall responsibility and accountability for all top-line revenue at Milwaukee's radio operations. With his promotion it has eliminated the previous dual reporting structure for interactive and national sales and streamlined the sales organization. Jason Bjorson is elevated from local sales manager to general sales manager. Bjorson will continue to oversee local sales, with additional leadership responsibilities across all other top-line revenue streams. He will oversee sales training, recruit to expand the sales organization, develop general revenue strategies, lead the company's growing events business and expand local relationships. Katie O'Connell is promoted to executive producer, digital content and social media. This new lead position will drive the company's content and social media strategies across all platforms. Prior to her current role at Milwaukee's radio operations, O'Connell served with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, WTMJ-TV, and Journal Interactive. Collin Roth has been promoted to managing editor for Right Wisconsin, working with WTMJ personality Charlie Sykes and leading his content team for this growing digital/subscription-based product. Additionally, Bryan Shore and Steve Frank have been named digital sales associates. Langmyer says, "This solid new structure and excellent team will lead us in product development, cross-platform content and revenue growth. These promotions represent a new leadership structure to drive further growth at Journal's Milwaukee Radio Operations."
"Brent & Meg" Graduate from TalkersRadio to Launch New Terrestrial Midday Show on GCN. The husband/wife talk radio team "Brent & Meg" (legendary rock radio personality/newsman Brent Seltzer and award-winning public relations veteran Meg McDonald) have signed a deal with Genesis Communications Network (GCN) to launch a Monday-Friday midday show (1:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET) on Monday, July 7. This development marks the first time a program conceived and launched on TalkersRadio has made the leap from the experimental platform operated by TALKERS magazine to terrestrial radio. "We couldn't be more delighted," states TalkersRadio GM David Bernstein, adding, "This marks an exciting milestone for TalkersRadio and is a wonderful testimony to our initial success in carrying out our ongoing mission to be a laboratory where new concepts in talk radio can be developed. I am personally proud of Brent & Meg because I believe what they've got to offer midday talk radio has been – with rare exceptions – a missing element from our medium for many years. They are, simply put, sensationally fresh!" TalkersRadio officially began streaming on Talkers.com in September of 2013 and Seltzer and McDonald were among its charter performers. TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison (who "discovered" Brent & Meg) adds, "Brent & Meg couldn't be in better hands than with entrepreneurial visionary Ted Anderson who has done such a fantastic job of developing GCN into a budding powerhouse syndication firm. He reminds me of the old record company and studio heads who understood how to build and develop new talent and acts from the grassroots markets up. We sure need more of that in today's network radio scene." Harrison goes on to describe "Brent & Meg" as "the newest thing 'old school' has to offer – perfect, contemporary husband/wife chat for the midday position…where yesterday meets tomorrow." To read TALKERS managing editor Mike Kinosian's fascinating in-depth account of the Brent & Meg saga posted today (6/18), please click here.
Clear Channel to Put New Audience Targeting Tool to Use for 2014 Political Buys. The new tool is called AuDiO – short for Audience Delivery Optimizer – and what the company calls "a groundbreaking, proprietary radio targeting tool developed specifically for political advertisers." Clear Channel goes on to say, "This first-of-its-kind radio optimization tool enables local and national political campaigns across the country to precisely target key voter segments using radio — which was confirmed by recent research to be one of the most effective and efficient consumer advertising vehicles." How does it work? The company says AuDiO matches key information about 245 million Americans who listen to Clear Channel's 840 U.S. terrestrial radio stations to leading political databases to make actionable predictions about which desired voter segment is listening to which stations at which times. The launch of AuDiO means that Clear Channel is now uniquely able to match broadcast listener data – for any of its 840 stations, at any time of day and in any political district nationwide – to multiple third-party data sources to identify which listeners fall into any given political district and, within that district's listening audience, which segments are present and in what numbers. CCM+E EVP for political strategy Nathan Daschle comments, "Ninety-two percent of Americans listen to radio every month — but despite radio's incredible reach, campaigns have never had a tool like AuDiO for radio before. AuDiO takes the guesswork out of radio buying by replacing wild hunches with actionable and precise models so that campaigns know which of their desired target audiences are listening, when and to whom. This means that campaigns, political parties and other groups across America have the ability to use radio in a much smarter way to reach their target voters."
Nielsen Releases Revised Los Angeles PPM Data. After the controversial case of one Univision Los Angeles programming staffer (who's been fired) being involved in a PPM household, which delayed the release of May PPM data for the market from last week to this week, the ratings company releases the Los Angeles numbers and revises the April PPM data for the market as well. Those numbers can be found at TALKERS magazine's sister publication RadioInfo here. Also, see managing editor and West Coast bureau chief Mike Kinosian's "Takeaway" from the LA ratings here.

Add another colorful celebrity to the lineup of podcasts available through Norm Pattiz-founded PodcastOne as former "Jersey Shore" reality series cast member Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi begins producing a weekly on-demand show for the service. Pattiz comments, "Sometimes I feel like we're on the Starship Enterprise going where no man has gone before!

PodcastOne is pleased to welcome Nicole's audience to our platform and expose her to the additional hundred million monthly listeners who currently consume PodcastOne programs."
AdLarge, KMG and Harris Media Partner for Control Room Pro Distribution. Three firms are teaming up to sell and distribute the new Control Room Pro suite of digital production field and studio tools. AdLarge Media will lead the national advertising sales effort, while KMG Networks will spearhead radio station distribution. The two firms share a similar relationship on behalf of several radio and digital products and services. Harris Media founder Lee Harris says, "Most of the new digital and mobile programs for broadcast radio are consumer-facing. We focused on the development of cutting-edge newsroom and radio station field tools that expedite the gathering of news-related material for anchors and streamlined the field reporting process." Krantz Media Group president and CEO Gary Krantz adds, "Control Room Pro tools already are proven winners in the news/talk marketplace, including top stations like WINS, New York; WCBS-AM, New York; and KYW-AM, Philadelphia. News/talk stations have a high overhead on field equipment and in-studio production programs. These digital products fill a clear marketplace need by increasing productivity and decreasing equipment and production library costs. Radio station affiliates will experience positive bottom line results."
WIP-FM, Philadelphia and Personality Angelo Cataldi Sell Bobbleheads to Benefit Police Survivors Fund. In cooperation with local business Cottman Transmission & Total Auto Care and the Philly Team Store, CBS RADIO sports talker WIP-FM, Philadelphia and morning drive personality Angelo Cataldi are selling Cataldi bobble-head dolls, a portion of the proceeds from which will benefit the Philadelphia F.O.P. Lodge #5 Survivors Fund. The dolls are being sold for $20 via the station's website. Both Cottman Transmission and the Philly Team Store are giving dolls away with major purchases. The F.O.P. Lodge #5 Survivors Fund, since its inception, has been invaluable to the members of the lodge who have experienced the most devastating tragedies. The losses incurred by the families of deceased and extraordinarily injured officers cannot be recovered but can be eased through financial support or assistance. This fund continues to be able to provide help for families due to the charitable donations of police family, friends and business partners.

NJBA Comments Incorporated into Federal Legislation. Pro-radio crusader Paul S. Rotella, president/CEO of the New Jersey Broadcasters Association, reports positive progress in his organization's efforts to influence the interests of the radio industry in government circles. The House of Representatives recently passed the FEMA Reauthorization Act of 2011 (H.R. 2903), which authorizes the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) and makes improvements to the system including language that broadcasters requested in several key areas: 1. The bill creates an IPAWS Advisory Committee to ensure that the various federal agencies that have a part in the governance of the IPAWS are conducting an ongoing dialogue with message disseminators. (Broadcasters will be represented on the IPAWS advisory committee); and 2. The bill establishes a comprehensive and periodic training program to instruct and educate Federal, State, Tribal, and local government officials in the use of the Common Alerting Protocol enabled Emergency Alert System. Importantly, the bill requires that this training be integrated into the National Incident Management System, which is the Department of Homeland Security's emergency management doctrine used across the United States to coordinate emergency preparedness and incident management and response. By incorporating the NJBA's comments regarding EAS training into the National Incident Management System, state and local emergency managers will have to participate in EAS training in order to receive federal homeland security grant funding. The bill now heads to the Senate, which has been considering its own IPAWS bill.

On Any Given Monday. In a PPM world, holidays such as Labor Day cannot be considered a programming throw away. In a special feature story written by associate editor Alan Linder, published yesterday, radio execs tell TALKERS that although star hosts are still usually given time off for three and four day weekends, holidays must receive the same level of programming attention as regular weekdays. This is generally accomplished by upgrading the production value invested in creating "best-of" shows or, in the case of stations using the "live-and-local" element as a signature asset, being sure that the station's talent bench of fill-in hosts is up to the task of keeping the audience satisfied. No longer are "best-of" shows just "okay" recent shows kept in the can for repeats on holidays. They are special montages of outstanding elements culled from a variety of shows supplemented by previously unheard features and interviews prerecorded especially for such occasions. For the live-and-local stations, careful thought and care is given to the selection and nurturing of fill-ins. In today's competitive talk radio, bench and weekend talent (including the emergence of "super part-timers") are as important to the line-up as designated hitters and relief pitchers are in baseball. Then there's the dedicated syndicated morning star who loves what he does so much that he never misses a live show regardless of whether it is a holiday. Read all about it here.
Today Is the First Official Day on FM for WIP, Philadelphia. The changeover actually began Friday as rock WYSP-FM, Philadelphia played its last song ("Fade to Black" by Metallica) and flipped to a simulcast of sports WIP. The station is now positioned as "94 SportsRadio WIP." The first day of WIP on FM was also the last day of the regular afternoon program for Philadelphia sports talk legend Howard Eskin. He signed off his regular program after a 25-year career hosting a sports talk show in Philly. Eskin remains with the station to host Eagles game day programming and will continue to work with WIP on part-time projects while exploring other media options. The station's new schedule premiers today with Angelo Cataldi remaining in AM drive, Comcast SportsNet host Michael Barkann joining Eskin's former partner Ike Reese for the 10:00 am to 1:00 pm show and Anthony Gargano and Glen Macnow in the 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm time slot. On Friday, Sirius XM's Howard Stern appeared on WYSP-FM with Spike Eskin (Howard Eskin's son who stayed on the air with his dad for his last show) to talk about his love for Philadelphia and bid adieu to the rock station. WYSP-FM was the first station to pick up Stern's program as it began its move into syndication from New York's WXRK-FM. On a side note, Longport Media's WBSS, Atlantic City, New Jersey will begin simulcasting WIP soon. Longport Media president David Coskey tells the Press of Atlantic City Philadelphia sports is an important part of his market's interest so the move makes sense. By the way, if you haven't read TALKERS special features correspondent Mike Kinosian's excellent piece on CBS Radio's FM sports talk stations, check it out here.
Emmis Communications Receives Delisting Notice. Emmis CEO Jeff Smulyan was not surprised by the NASDAQ notice that it has until February 27, 2012 to get its stock price above $1 for 10 consecutive business days or be delisted. The notice came just a day before Emmis closed on the sale of WWWN-FM and WLUP-FM, Chicago and WEMP-FM, New York to Merlin Media for $120 million. Emmis is using the influx of cash to pay down debt while retaining an interest in the Merlin properties.
WWL-AM/FM, New Orleans Talk Host Garland Robinette Cited in Bribery Probe. Robinette's attorney tells the New Orleans Times-Picayune that his client – the WWL-AM/FM "Think Tank" host – has been told he is not a target of the investigation. But federal authorities have spoken with Robinette numerous times after the investigation showed Robinette received $250,000 from local landfill owner Fred Heebe. The issue here is Heebe's campaign to shut down two other competing landfills in the area, theoretically so that his facility could accept more of the post-Katrina waste needing to be dumped. Robinette enters the picture due to the money he received and his addressing the landfill issue regularly on his radio program in which he stated he believed the two competing landfills were not safe. Robinette, through his attorney, states the money he received from his friend Heebe was a personal loan that he expects to pay back. Meanwhile, Heebe allegedly paid $460,000 in bribes to a former state official to lobby to close one of the competing landfills.
Atlantic Coast Radio Splits WLOB-AM/FM, Portland Talk Simulcast. WLOB-AM remains news/talk but the FM side picks up the sports programming signal from WPEI-FM and begins simulcasting it. WLOB-FM is licensed to Topsham, Maine near Brunswick and gives Atlantic Coast coverage for the northern side of the newly expanded metro while WPEI-FM is licensed to Saco, Maine to the south of Portland, thereby covering that side of the market.

Enter the Forest Wide Web
A new book that takes your imagination to a whole new level is expected to get an unprecedented amount of attention here in Canada and beyond.
You see, author Bill Murphy has only just launched his new book, A Forest Tale (iUniverse - 2014) and readers already are taking a real liking to the book – in bookstores and online.
Murphy's book tells the story of an ambitious eagle named Bill and his plans to change life in the Forest forever with the creation of the "Forest Wide Web."
So, what's all the rave with the new book?
"This is the first start-up fable ever written, to my knowledge. I use animals so that the reader can go inside the mind of the entrepreneur and really get to see the struggle that happens there, as the entrepreneur's ego fights to take control. It's truly a mental journey that the book takes you on. You see, what most would be entrepreneurs miss is the fact that building any business is about relationships and the mental games, not so much the product, service or market share. It's why investors invest in teams, people, or in this case animals," says the author during an interview from Calgary.
He adds, "I think readers, especially the business oriented crowd, want something out of the ordinary, and my unique fable offers just that, at least that's what I'm hearing from early fans."
In the book, the character Bill teams up with a co-worker, Mary the Crow, and a client, Thomas the Bear, and sets out to make his mark in the Forest. From raising investment capital for his start-up and hiring the team, to working with lawyers and boards of directors, A Forest Tale is filled with the ins and outs of turning a business dream into full-blown reality. Bill quickly learns that the task of creation is much more difficult than he'd imagined. Meeting and balancing the daily demands from friends and family and co-workers and investors seems impossible. As Bill struggles to fulfill his growing list of commitments and to do it all, his inspiring vision blurs and the joy of creation turns to despair. Can he possibly recover after so many wrong turns?
Bill the Eagle's story is a start-up fable that entertainingly shares the growing pains of entrepreneurship.
The work will keep you smiling, make your heart heavy at times, but ultimately give you hope that anything is possible.

Found February 04, 2013 on Indy Racing Revolution:
PLAYERS: Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti, Ryan Briscoe, E. J. Viso
Heads-up, boys and girls: Despite having a title to defend, the Andretti Autosport gang is in attack mode for 2013. After claiming the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series championship with American driver Ryan Hunter-Reay, the team proceeded to lose some strong engineering talent to other squads in the paddock. But as SPEEDTV.com's Marshall Pruett reports, AA has filled those open positions nicely. Craig Hampson, who helped engineer Sebastien Bourdais' electrifying run of four consecutive Champ Car World Series titles, has now joined up with AA to work on James Hinchcliffe's No. 27 program. Marco Andretti will also be getting a new engineer in 2013 -- Blair Perschbacher, who's moving up from Firestone Indy Lights. Last but certainly not least, Pruett writes that a formal announcement for a fourth Andretti car will be made shortly, with longtime engineer Michael Cannon on board for that program. As for who the driver will be, that's still anybody's guess. Several notables are still looking for a ride going into 2013, including former Team Penske pilot Ryan Briscoe and Venezuela's E.J. Viso. Technically, Justin Wilson is a free agent as well, but it seems inevitable that he'll re-up with Dale Coyne's Honda-powered outfit.

A 27-year-old Lake City man was arrested early Monday morning in connection with the sexual battery of a child.
Bruce Henderson was booked into the Columbia County Detention Facility on one count of sexual battery on a victim younger than 12. His bond was set at $200,000.
The investigated began just after 3 a.m. when Lake City Medical Center notified deputies it was treating a child suspected of being a victim of a sexual battery.
Deputies said the parent had left the child in the care of an adult while at work, and when the parent returned the child complained of an injury. The parent took the child to the hospital to be checked and it was revealed the injury was consistent with sexual abuse, deputies said.
Henderson was questioned and arrested.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office victim advocate is assisting the family and the Child Protection Team working with the detectives as the investigation continues.

After weeks of not appearing together in public, the couple and Sean Preston took a stroll in Malibu. Of his negative press, Federline told Newsweek: "'He hates his children, he treats his wife like dirt, he gets high all day.' If I was that bad, you think anyone, let alone Britney, would put up with it?"

I have some drop down menus that have mouseover images for the main bar then bullets that load as an image in each <li> tag for the sub links. Everything looks great except in IE whenever I mouseover each link, the images in the main nav bar and the bullet images next to the sub-links flicker. This only happens if IE is set to check for newer versions of stored pages each visit.
Does anybody know of a way to keep the images from flicker? Is there a way to keep IE from reloading the images when mousing over each link?
