Boeing knocks back Dreamliner first flight
Boeing today announced that the first flight of its 787 Dreamliner will not now take place until "around the end of the second quarter" of 2008 - a roughly three month delay which will see the first aircraft delivered "in early 2009, rather than late 2008". The company late last year rescheduled the 787 programme in the face of …
Lessons learnt
"Our revised schedule is based upon updated assessments from the 787 management team of the progress we have made and the lessons we have learned to date."
That doesn't include lessons learnt from competitors, like all the delays Airbus had with the A380 then?
@Lessons learnt
No, they only thing they learned then was how to snigger and point fingers at Airbus. Interestingly, Airbus executives didn't seem to pick up on that lesson, as there has been a dearth of sniggering from Europe.
Object Lesson
I remember working at Shell when a load of Boeing people came in to take over IT project management. Their methods would stop all the late and over budget business. I'm not knocking Boeing but if this was an IT project it would be classed as a disaster. Goodness knows how over-budget it is - they're not saying. It all goes to show how stupid current predictive project management is.
Calling Boeing fan boys, calling Boeing fanboys...
... Where's your smugness now?
I was accused of working for Airbus (which I don't) when the Dreamliner hit delays the first time and I commented on that. Yet the Boeing fanboys kept on sniggering. I guess this makes it even...
Airbus 2 : Boeing 2
Building planes is not an easy task. Both Airbus and Boeing know that now.
Boeing did learn
My understanding of the Airbus affair is that different versions of Catia were used for reasons of false economy and politics. They depended on accurate conversion between versions. Sad to write, the discrepencies were not caught before assembly. The IT chief at Boeing did get this bit right by ensuring that everyone had the same versions of all software on the same platforms.
Learned? Not likely...
my mom worked for them years ago. Boeing is one of the most dysfunctional organizations on the planet, about what you'd expect for something that big and old.
if they learned any lessons from this, it would be a first. their organizational memory doesn't last longer than 2 years, as turnover among talented technical and line employees is absurdly high.
i chuckled when Boeing talked up their new supply chain that they were going to use for the Dreamliner. it sounded like a worldwide nightmare of coordination and management. turns out, that's exactly what it is.
they should have outsourced the coordination and logistics to Toyota, and laid off all those expensive Vice Presidents. would have saved money, and probably delivered on time. now, Boeing is performing the same way they do for the Pentagon: really late, and over budget. the Dreamliner will probably come with some interesting problems, too, like the V-22 did.
typical First-World defense-establishment corporate wankers.
"same versions of all software on the same platforms."
Indeed so, but in different circumstances that would have been called "being held to ransom by the software and systems vendor". Take your pick.
Anyway, whatever happened to IGES, and then PDES and STEP (which iirc were part of CALS), acronyms whuich were all going to solve all the multi-vendor integration problems faced by big MCAD users (and vendors) back in the early 1990s, as was Boeing's very own Technical and Office Protocol (aka TOP), which in some ways was to aerospace design what the GM-driven Manufacturing Automation Protocol (aka MAP) was intended to be. By now, all been replaced by that ultimate pair of TLAs, IBM and SAP, probably.
Back to 787: has there been any more analysis of the lightning-resistance of the 787 (being as it has no natural Faraday cage being as it's mostly made of Plastic Padding) since it was featured unfavourably in (of all places) News At Ten some months ago?
And how about the 787 network security thing featured in El Reg and elsewhere only a few days ago, which Boeing rolled out a PR bunny to respond to, when what was actually needed was detail, e.g. conformation that there was an actual "air gap" between the "safety critical" network carrying flight control data, and the "other" network, carrying important operational data (duty free stock levels, ETAs of hot lemon scneted towels, etc)?
The problem Airbus had o the A380 was trying to make CATIA V4 and CATIA V5 work together, something that you get told at the beginning of any CATIA conversion course will not work. Why Airbus thought it could ignore this, I'm not sure, probably money is at the root of it (couldn't afford to upgrade all the software and workstations at the same time). Competition is very much still about, directly in the form of UG NX and also a variety of other CAD packages depending on cost (UG and CATIA are thousands of pounds a seat, cheap compared to upwards of £40K+ for an Finite Element Analysis licence).
IGES, STEP, et al. exist but sending data means the part creation history gets lost. CATIA and UG NX native files are parametric, so by tweaking a dimension the rest of the model (and any drawings based on it) automatically update. Using IGES, etc loses this data, leaving a 'dumb' solid and the result is not always very good anyway.
The slippages for Airbus and Boeing are just reminding everybody that jet airliners are complex and getting more so. The airworthiness rules keep raising the bar (as they should, as more and more understanding of the causes of aircraft crashes get fed back into each new revision). The time that has lapsed since the last major aircraft designs will definitely not have helped (B777 and A330/340 in the mid '90s). The experienced people changing jobs/company, managers who have never had to project manage something this big before, etc.
As for lightning protection there will be a copper mesh incorporated into the composite layup of the panels and this will provide the faraday cage effect required. All the various layups and design configurations would have to undergo lightning strike testing (and obviously pass!) to achieve airworthiness certification.
The approach is well known, for example, the engine nacelles on a variety of jet aircraft (Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, etc) have been manufactured in this way for more than a decade.
Re: 787 & lightning
There is conductive mesh embedded in the skin. This avoids the catastrophic damage that composite panels can suffer from a strike.
I know an (ex-)employee was complaining about all sorts of possible risks from the composite construction & how the mesh was inadequate, but based on some of their statements I don't think they were credible.
After all, this isn't the first composite aircraft structure or fuselage, the only differences are scale and volume. So things are pretty well understood.
Not that I entirely trust the thing - never be the first to try something new! - but I don't think it's that bad.
As for the whole network thing, the various networks are separate & use different protocols (especially anything a customer could get at) but as there's a common switching & processing resource that most things ultimately link to, there isn't a true 'air gap' as such. I would suggest that this is basically a concern that both networks connect to the same box at one point rather than there being a genuine risk even from a properly prepared & equipped assailant.
Speaking as a Frequent Flier
I'm in no rush for Boeing to launch the B787. I would rather that it be 1-2 years late and fully bug free than be launched on time as a Friday afternoon rush job.
I understand the prestige issues, the marketing PR and the other political ramifications of launching an aircraft late, but Boeing will deal with this and if it goes on to be as successful as the B777, they may even make some money on the programme.
BTW, the A380 is a fantastic aircraft and I wish Airbus well with their leviathan.
Next up will be the replacement to the A320/B737 space for the volume market. I can't wait to see how the companies deal with this.
Re: "same versions of all software on the same platforms."
"...ETAs of hot lemon scented towels"
...meanwhile, there will be a delay... ^_-
Airbus - Boeing issues completely separate
The differences between Airbus's delays and Boeing's are two completely separate things which they cant learn about from each other. Airbus's was technical issues (CATIA V4 & V5 interoperability and use of Aluminium wiring), Boeing's are supply chain.
Very different.
Re: @Aubry Thonon
"Passengers, your attention, please. We are currently awaiting our supplies of yellow, lemon-scented paper napkins for your comfort and refreshment. In the meantime there will be a short delay. Please remain in your seats, as stewardesses will be serving you coffee and biscuits shortly."
Typed from memory :-)
@ Stefan Paetow
There are Boeing and/or Airbus fanboys? I sincerely hope you're wrong, but I fear you've got it correct.
As for Airbus and Boeing now knowing that building planes is not an easy task, one would have assumed that they knew that some years ago, or am I giving these companies too much credit?
Paris Hilton: Tenuous aeroplane/airhead link.
Boeing IT.
"The IT chief at Boeing did get this bit right...."
If he's any good it's a shame they didn't ask him whether saving a few shekels by putting the plane's flight control systems on a common internal network with the "script kiddie please plug in your laptop here" services was a good idea.
(Dead Vulture, 'cos it doesn't look like getting off the ground anytime soon either)

Soma 107 - White Plains
Does anyone know the status of this new restaurant.? I heard they were opening some time in November. Looks nice from the outside and from the little peaks that you can get through the windows looks like they put a lot of money and effort into making it really nice.
There seem to be some locations in Westchester with a lot of turnover (dare I use the word "cursed"?) such as this one Soma is now in, the former Valbella's steakhouse location across from L&T in Eastchester, and Backals on Weaver Street. I wonder if it is ever possible to overcome something like that.
re: Dim Sum Diva
The Soma location used to be a nightclub that didn't last. It is a big space and they seem to have ambitious plans.
re: kaaaassss
Just called the restaurant and I was told that starting November 20 they will be open just for lunch and on December 4th they will open for drinks and dinner.
Had dinner there the other night with another couple (and between us, our 3 small children), and the food was very good (4 entrees, all were thumbs up) and although it is more of a "grown-up" restaurant (i.e. no kids menu) the chef was nice enough to put together some simple pasta dishes for the kids. Did not hang out at the bar, but it looked like there was a good crowd there (even during the quiet holiday week).
re: ericyu
No kid's menu is a good thing, IMHO!
This from White Plains Times:
Soma 107 Restaurant & Lounge
107 Mamaroneck Ave. • 682-6795
Soma 107 is a sleek new dining and nightlife venture offering local residents an opportunity to enjoy vibrant networking and dining in five separate areas sporting three sparkling bar/lounges, modern high-tech accoutrements, and a menu of contemporary, sometimes cutting-edge cuisine via Chef James Crawley, formerly of MacMenamin's Grill, who is not afraid to push the culinary envelope.
Host Eugene Lum and his partners have every intention of lighting up the city. The grazing has been good: I have already savored samplers of puree of artichoke and asparagus truffle soup; their signature Pig N2, 'pied de couchon' in a mustard cabernet reduction; lovely duck confit spring rolls; Maryland crab cake; charred baby octopus; Sapporo reserve braised short ribs; and cedar plank roasted king salmon. Lum and his family have been operating venerable Lum Yen Chinese Restaurant in Mamaroneck for many years. I'm anxious to see how this one unfolds (New York Times restaurant critic M. H. Reed already gave it a 'very good' rating.)
re: Jon1856
Went on Sunday night. Very impressed by the cooking. You can really see the chef's CIA chops and the influence from an internship in France in the quality and complexity of his sauces. LOVED, LOVED LOVED the charred baby octopus with a creamy garlic kim-chi scallion vinaigrette. Also impressed with the Togarashi Spice Dusted Ahi Tuna (another wonderful cream sauce, this one over cashew-cilantro jasmine rice).
Place was expensive, but wouldn't mind coming here again for a special occasion if the quality of the food were the same.
Thought the lighting was a bit too dim over the tables, and the place echoed a bit. Service was thoughtful and eager to please, but spotty at times. They'll probably get those kinks ironed out.
re: SharonNY
Stopped by last Friday evening around 10:30 for an after dinner drink.....We are a couple in our 40's. The bar was full but we managed to squeeze in between a group of 20 somethings. Around 10:30 the lights went down and the music went up. There was a disco ball in what had been the dining room and all of a sudden these VERY YOUNG early 20 something started to come in..... We finished our drinks and left. Obviously Soma 107 becomes a kids place after 10... That's unfortunate because I would never come here for dinner on a Friday or Saturday night because we like to eat at 8 or 8:30 and like to linger over a meal and bottle of wine. MIght try it for dinner during the week but it is expensive and I don't know if it would worth it knowing that turns into a kids joint. The last two venues at that address did the same thing and both were closed down because of fights and I think there was a stabbing at the last place. It's a shame because it is a beautiful place and obviously they put a lot of money into it.
re: kaaaassss
Interesting, because I just had dinner here for the first time this past Saturday night (which was great by the way) and when we left at around 10:30 the band was playing and the average age of the people dancing / hanging at the bar was about 45-50. Our party of 4 all noticed the older crowd. We all really loved this place - food is excellent, nice reasonable wine list, and great service. Definitely will be returning.
re: wpfoodie
That's good to know. On Friday, they have a DJ and believe me the crowd was barely 25. If you're saying they have a live band on Saturday then that would explain the older crowd. I would definately try it on a Saturday and steer clear on Friday night late.
Changes per LoHuds' Liz:
James Cawley Gone to Rosa Mexicano; SOMA 107 Tweaking Menu with New Chef
re: Jon1856
It didn't take long for the chef to leave and for them to realize they are way overpriced for what they offer. I think the venue is way to big. You're either a restaurant or a club. I was there for dinner once. Food was good but nothing to brag about for the price and the service was terrible. Waiter hardly spoke english and could not answer simple questions about the menu. There was two other couples in the vast dining room. Tried it a couple of times - once during the week and once on a weekend for drinks... Bar was nearly empty both times. Younger (20's) started to come in...They cranked up the music...I hope the changes are for the better.
re: Jon1856
I walked by the other day during lunch and place still looks exactly the same. Heard some banging so maybe they are working on the changes. Looks like they are open for lunch again. Tables and umbrellas were being put out in the alley on the side of the building. Personally I think the place is way to big. Unless the dining room is full, you feel isolated and yenko13 is right about the waiters not speaking english.
re: kaaaassss
that is to bad cuz that pig's foot app was terrififc. come to think of it so were the fried string beans...
re: cubanat
And the baby octopus and the ahi tuna. Sad if downhill reports are true, because those two dishes were two of the best I've ever had.
We ate there last night with friends and I must say, I am completely baffled as to how they are staying in business. The place was entirely empty! I know it's August and a lot of people on away but...our table of six was one of 4 other tables in the huge space. We were ultimately the last ones in the restaurant. The service was polite, but slow as molasses. The food was fine- nothing too exciting. When we left there were 6 people at the bar.
re: MRS
So, this place did finally close a few weeks ago. It's been taken over by a(nother) Tapas and Wine Bar place. I'll check out the name and repost. Something like Caboo. But, if you're looking for a fun night out, with GREAT food, head a few blocks down to Elements. Great food, great atmosphere and an awesome roof deck. Love it!

In today's fast-paced mobile age, data continues to accrue by leaps and bounds. To support strategic, operational and tactical business decisions, organizations need effective data management that enables them to both consolidate data from multiple sources and distribute data to multiple targets in real time. For example, a department store chain could consolidate and analyze sales data from geographically dispersed stores to provide valuable insight for inventory management, and it could use data distribution to send selective data updates based on demographics to individual stores in order to increase sales.Download this tech brief to learn how database replication provides a cost-effective way to consolidate and distribute data in real time.

From Koh Rong to Kampot, could you get two more different towns!
Koh Rong, an idyllic island in the South China sea off the coast of Cambodia. An island of no roads, loads of backpackers and intermittent electricity. It's a place to relax and a place to party but sleepy it is not.
Kampot on the other hand is a nice, sleepy little town. If you ask anyone travelling in Cambodia that's been here, they will tell you, 'It's a nice little town'. Ask anyone who hasn't and they will tell you, 'I hear it's a nice little town'. Now I've been here, I can tell you myself, it IS a nice little town.
My exploration of Cambodia started with a direct trip to Koh Rong Island from Bangkok. An island where there are no cars and I didn't wear any shoes the entire time. An island full of partying people's, beach huts, sunbathing, snorkelling and surprisingly a lot of long term westerners. Koh Rong Island is the type of place many backpackers get stuck in. People go there for a week and here they are months later.
The tourist area of Koh Rong Island really has to 3 parts to it. At one end you have the local Cambodia village type area, where cheap guest houses can be found along with local noodle shops, children running about playing and lots and lots of puppies. Honestly, it's a puppy epidemic!
In the middle part of the stretch you'll find more cheapish guest house and lot's of bars. A great place to party, not such a great place to stay if sleep is anywhere on your agenda. Head right and you will find some still, reasonably priced guest houses – such as Bongs – where I stayed, just before you hit the expensive end of town.
The far end of the beach has a lot of Bungalows, the type with hammocks swinging out the front. Nice for a relaxing holiday, not so nice on a backpackers hip pocket at up to $80 a night. What is kind of incredible is that you can have all of these tasted catered to in one small strip that cannot possibly take more than 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other!
Koh Rong was pretty much the first stop (after Bangkok) for me on this trip, so I was readjusting to backpacker conditions. After about 8 days of doing pretty much nothing on Koh Rong island it was time for me to get my travelling shoes on and move. I am, after all the type of traveller that moves!
I hadn't really heard of Kampot until I got to Koh Rong. As it turns out, many people on Koh Rong go to Kampot for a break from island life. So I took the boat from the microcosm of Koh Rong back to the mainland and journeyed onto Kampot.
Situated on the river, Kampot has a few guesthouses, a few restaurants and is surrounded by salt flats. As Koh Rong is an island mostly full of westerners and western run places I felt that Kampot was really my first experience of Cambodia and it's people. Friendly is the first word that springs to mind when I think of the Cambodian people now.
Cambodian girls on the salt flats
I spent my time in Kampot indulging in a seeing hands massage and using foot and pedal power to see some of the surrounding countryside.
Kampot and surround has plenty to keep you busy for a few days at a very slow pace. Nothing seems to move fast here, locals, expats and travellers amble calmly through their days. Visit the salt flats the falls or maybe even the dragonflies at night.
Should I Go?
Koh Rong Island – Yes. It's beautiful. It does have a reputation, and is a bit of a party island, but it is also possible to relax and enjoy other activities there, although this blogger admits to not really doing any activity and just lazing around. Just beware costs in general are more expensive than on the mainland and there are no ATM's – so take all your cash with you.
Kampot – It's a really nice little town and definitely worth spending a few days at least in. Yes, I know 'nice' is a vague term, but go there and you'll see what I mean. Watch the river flow by and relax.

Additional Information
Karmarama hired for £3m Sun-Pat and Hartley's relaunch
Karmarama has been appointed as the lead agency for Sun-Pat and Hartley's by Hain Daniels, which bought the peanut butter and jam brands from Premier Foods last year.
Hartley's: Karmarama to relaunch jam and jelly brand with multimedia campaign
The independent agency was appointed after a three-way pitch that began in May.
Karmarama will now return the brands to above-the-line advertising, after having been "ignored for years", according to Nigel Parrott, the Hain Daniels commercial and marketing director, .
The first task is a relaunch of the Hartley's brand, which includes jams and jellies, across press, TV, and digital.
A relaunch will also take place for Sun-Pat peanut butter, which is not believed to have used above-the-line advertising for more than a decade.
Hain Daniels confirmed it plans to spend £3 million on media in the coming year.
The US food group Hain Celestial bought the two brands from Premier in October 2012, as part of a deal reported to be worth £200 million, which included Gale's honey, Robertson's squash and Frank Cooper's marmalade.
Hain Celestial then created Hain Daniels as its subsidiary in the UK.
Parrott said: "Hain Daniels' recent acquisition of the sweet spreads and jelly business has brought a wonderful set of brands that have been ignored for years.

Fuckin' Up Young by The Dirty Nil
SEVEN INCH FRIDAY: We've been avoiding our 7″ Friday posts shamelessly for months on end and finally here's a good reason to bring you one. Fuckin' Up Young by The Dirty Nil. Fucking-A! Blindly and without even thinking about it you should send them 5 bux for making a record like this. The b-side "Verona Lung" is just as good as the A side with it's raw and distorted guitars. The vocals just belt out melodies and it's indie rock just like should be. Reminds me of Tim from Kentucky or something from Tossing the Seeds by Superchunk.

Griff: I can't murder anybody.The Big Red One (1980) is a classic war movie directed by Sam Fuller, set during World War II and starring Lee Marvin, Robert Carradine and Mark Hamill. It follows a squad of soldiers and their Grizzled Veteran sergeant from the beginning of America's participation in the war in the African and European theater to the end. This film is Based on a True Story, specifically the director Fuller's, who served in the US First Infantry Division during the war and observed and participated in many of the events the film depicts.The original version suffered heavy Executive Meddling and received lukewarm responses in the 1980s. In that time, the Director's cut and Re Cut became common with the re-release of Lawrence of Arabia and Blade Runner and Fuller hoped for a restoration of his long version. He died in 1997 but his widow Christa Fuller and film historian Richard Schickel managed to restore The Big Red One : Reconstruction released in 2004 which recieved significant acclaim and allowed the film to be Vindicated by History as one of the greatest and most accurate War Movies ever made. It's 40 minutes longer than the original version with new scenes and sequences clarifying and deepening the story.
Sarge: We don't murder, we kill.
Griff: It's the same thing.
Sarge: The hell it is, Griff. You don't murder animals; you kill 'em.

A.F.I. (AFI) God Called In Sick Today Lyrics
Last updated: 03/26/2013 10:31:31 AM
Let's admire the pattern forming
Murderous filigree
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine
Go ascend with ivy, climbing
Ignore and leave for me
The headstone crumbling behind
I can't help my laughter as she cries
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
Let's amend the classic story
Close it so beautifully
I'll let animosity unwind
Steal away the darkened pages
Hidden so shamefully
I'll still feel the violence of the lines
I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cried
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence
I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cried
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence
AFI is an atheist band... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/26/13
You guys know that all 4 members of AFI are atheists, right? Davey Havok on particular is very outspoken on the matter. This song is open to the listeners interpretation as is any song, but it was originally written about Davey Havok's displeasure and disbelief in Christianity. It's really that simple. Oh and Davey is confirmed not to be gay. So that silly explanation is out the window.
Religion in music | Reviewer: Nigel | 4/16/12
As was stated earlier in the thread we need to look at what is said and it contains sentiments that can be read as both a love affair gone wrong and religion. This whole album contains a Christian locus whether you want to believe it or not... Song names such as Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of the witches... the divine interpretation of a couple of German religious freaks), The Prayer position and yada yada yada... It is possible to see how this song can be attributed to the view of Jesus as he is having the final nails hammered in. Many other songs contain suggestions of lorn love and regret. I must say which ever way you read into it relates to what you bring to it, it is hard to do a closed reading of a text when you bring your own knowledge and emotions to it.... Enjoy one of the best albums in the punk genre
just song | Reviewer: tony1pony | 1/2/12
there is a haven and hell be live me there is a nother life after this one ppl its real . i had out body walk beside haven and hell my dead sis told there as real as fire u get brun by. Yes there is a god be live ppl
Good song... | Reviewer: Jack | 4/22/11
But Kennelmouth? What in God's name are you talking about? First, punk and religion are not opposites. Do you have any idea how many religious punks there are out there? Second, if you're an atheist I don't care. You don't need to attack organized religion. Hell, I'm not a very religious person myself (Agnostic, maybe?) but believing in something isn't a 'flaw'. Spread your hate somewhere else; don't ruin AFI-related things please. Oh, and if you're into AFI, listen to their song Sacrilege. It's all about people that use their [non?] religious beliefs to attack others.
In any case, this song is a beautiful display of Davey's dark romantic lyrics and Jade's wonderful guitar playing. This was definitely the highlight of Black Sails in the Sunset, and quite possibly AFI's career if not for Morningstar, ...but home is nowhere, and Endlessly, She Said.
About Jesus? | Reviewer: Kennelmouth | 2/12/11
Well, even though it kind of ruins for me an album that is probably AFI's crowning achievement, I have to say that what Anonymous said below does make a lot of sense. I didn't want that to be true. Being religious is the diametric opposite of punk, but hell, we all have our flaws.
I guess that Anonymous' interpretation of the lyrics would shed a lot of light on the title, as it reflects Jesus' final words according to the gospels of Matthew and Mark, where Jesus is essentially asking his god where the hell he has gone off to.
Havoc's lyrics seem very arcane at times, and heavily open to interpretation. For this atheist, I am acknowledging that it does appear to be about Redemption in the Christian sense, but for my own listening pleasure I'm not gonna buy into that interpretation 100% until I hear it straight from the band's mouths.
Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/2/10
For all you people thinking it's about religion and belief and stuff. No, not at all. Davey has admitted in many interviews that this song is about the feeling of seclusion and strangeness that comes along with being gay and being guilty for being different, or "sick."
mom on computer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/10
I don't really understand the lyrics of this song. I know it makes me sad and makes me question God's love for us.- God's love for us is always present!!Call out to Him anytime, Day or night. If you feel sad, lonely,angry, hurt,frustrated, scared, confused, hopeless. If you don't know where to start-tell Him that-start talking to Him the way you would a friend-whoever reads this-have a nice day!
Correction | Reviewer: L. | 5/13/10
Black Sails in the Sunset is a phenomenal record.
The art presented (musically, visually, overall theme) is an amazing piece of craftmanship.
God Called in Sick Today is a powerful song and one of my all-time favorites. I'm not going to condone or condemn the albums created after Sing the Sorrow, as I am not the band. If they felt a need to evolve further that is their choice. They are a talented group and hold the freedom to do as they wish. Oh, and in correction to someone's previous post, Davey Havok writes all the lyrics.
'lyrics' | Reviewer: someone that really loves music | 5/1/10
Hayden is right. The wrighter may have a personal meaning added to the song, but that doesn't mean everyone else have to share that same meaning. Whatever the song means to YOU, that's what's important.
I know this kinda is exactly the same as Hayden said, but I just wanted to say that I agree with him ;)
Lyrics | Reviewer: Hayden | 10/3/09
Lyrics and poetry in general, are normally open for interpretation. So anyone saying that there is one solid meaning for the song is mistaken. It means whatever you want it to mean. Davey (or whoever wrote it) may or may not have had one specific meaning in mind when he wrote this song, but it doesn't matter. If he said exactly what it meant, the song would be rendered meaningless to so many people who had already garnered their own meaning for it.
Okay okay okay | Reviewer: Dani | 6/1/09
Okay toni and anonymous confuse me. I'm reading toni's comment that says davey believes in god but not the bible. I'm pretty sure that davey has said he believed neither in god or the devil. Anyway it's Jade that writes the lyrics
I myself am not exactly sure which one of you (anonymous or toni) is closer to the real meaning. I'm not exactly hugely familiar with the bible so yeah.....
Anyway this is yet another amazing song by AFI
religious? | Reviewer: some dude | 3/23/09
i dont konw about that, but the anonymous guy talking about toni sounds right. the thing is davey is not religous, doesnt believe in god. he even said "fuck god" youtube "davey havok w/ ceremony at gilman street. so it could be about religion but not in a belief way?
You are absoulutely right | Reviewer: Toni | 12/30/08
Hey, the guy below is right bout what i first wrotte but it could be interpreted both ways, because it is part of the "dogma trilogy" BUT afi's lyrics like this one have been a passage for this kind of thinking ever since they began let me just say that it is true my opinion takes it out of context of the record, but Davey said himself that each song is meant to be listened to individually while at the same time be a coeherent part to what the theme of the record was, A fire inside itself refers to kind of thought i implied, maybe we are both right but you cant deny the entire second verse, is full of dual meanings towards the bible itself.
Let's amend the classic story
By amending he could be talking about amending Motheisteic beliefs till that point, and you are wrong when you say he was laughing on the inside because he was changing the bible, Up to that point there wasnt a bible, the old testament wouldnt be ended by him anyway.
Close it so beautifully
it just for some reason doesnt seem like it is sarcasm
I'll let animosity unwind
like saying i wrotte the story now interpret it any way you want
Steal away the darkened pages
? ive taken the literal meaning concerning all the gospels taken out of the bible that proved christ to be human and not so "divine"
Hidden so shamefully
Why would it be shamefull to hide these violent pages, if in the end he was dieying for humanities sins right? even if the story was to end there with his death and he prophrtiested exactly that
Why would what Jesus is thinking to himself be shameful?
now when he says his mother cried miles away it does not seem like mary crying, to me it is more clear and straight to the point that he was talking about the mother of his child. that would make sence as a song structure,Obnipotence(god,jesus.) nuturing malevolence (human,maybe a human son)
but then again, you are more of an afi fan than me, so...i guess we cant know for shure exept, it is a great song no matter because it sparks conversations like these.
Bon CHANsE!
What the song is about | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/14/08
Someone named Toni put up a review of what the song is about, but they're making it far too modern, as well as taking it out of the context of the album. God Called in Sick Today is the second part of what is essentially a musical trilogy of At a Glance, GCiST, and the hidden song, and Midnight Sun. They all deal with Christian dogma. At a Glance is from the perspective of Jesus before he is taken by the Romans, when he is praying to God. Jesus sees everything falling apart and knows that his disciples are powerless to help him ("No haven ... hold"). He wonders whether or not he will be remembered by his followers after he dies, or if they will forget him and move on (as was common at that time with messiahs). "Quick to deny that their open to deceit" directly addresses Peter, who said that he would not deny Jesus, but then did.
This song, God Called in Sick Today, is while Jesus is on the cross. The first verse is referencing Jesus' role as the final sacrifice. The use of "twisting vine" and "filigree" is a reference to the crown of thorns. A filigree is a type of gold ornament, like what a crown normally is. Then the chorus references Mary and the disciples who are lamenting his death, but Jesus laughs inside because he understands how things have to be and that his death is not the end. The next stanza is about the New Testament. With his death and resurrection, Jesus will amend the Bible and close what is a rather violent, earth bound work with a new ending of hope. "And miles away my mother cried / Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence" is directed right at Mary, and how God the Father is the cause of this pain for his mother, who is so far away because Jesus is passing on.
Midnight Sun is the most ambiguous. It is either describing Jesus' descent into Hell, or the role of the Devil as he awaits the rise of an antichrist.
Wonderful, Beautiful | Reviewer: Rachel | 1/15/08
This song is such a pretty song that many people can relate to (including myself). I listen to it whenever I'm feeling frustrated or upset. It's so aleviating.

Lots of people struggle to fit physical activity into their busy lives. If someone you care about is having a hard time getting active, you can help. Here are some tips to get you started.

Suggest activities you can do together.

Start small. Try taking a walk after dinner twice a week, or do crunches while you watch TV.

Mix it up. Learn new stretches and warm-up exercises.

Join a fitness class. Choose an activity that's new for both of you.

Make it part of your regular routine.

Meet up at the local gym or recreation center on your way home from work.

Give up a TV show to make time for physical activity.

Wake up a bit earlier so you can go for a brisk walk together before breakfast.

Walk or ride your bikes to the store or coffee shop.

Be understanding.

What are your loved one's reasons for not being more active? Maybe she feels overwhelmed or embarrassed. Ask what you can do to be supportive.

Recognize small efforts.

Be patient. Change takes time.

Remember, some physical activity is better than none!

Offer encouragement and praise. ("Great job doing your crunches today!")

Point out positive choices. ("I'm glad we're walking to the park instead of driving.")

Choose healthy gifts.

For birthdays or special rewards, choose gifts that encourage your loved one to be more active. Some ideas include:

New sneakers or workout clothes

A basketball or balance ball

Hand weights

A pedometer (a tool that counts the number of steps you take)

Gift certificate to a gym or exercise class

New Tampa real estate covers a 24-square mile area within corporate limits of the City of Tampa. It also has a bigger land area situated in unincorporated Hillsborough. The city is master planned and is enjoying a real estate boom presently.
Scintillating nightlife
New Tampa is the place to meet up friends and family members after a grueling day at work. Residents have easy access to internationally known theme parks and stunning beaches. If you want an exhilarating night out, New Tampa has no shortage of options.
The Shops at Wiregrass
The Shops at Wiregrass is a very popular gathering spot for New Tampa residents. Bruce B Down Blvd is the spine of the area. Vendors from all over Tampa gather every first Saturday and third Saturday from 10 in the morning to 3 in the evening to display their crafts, wares and produce. It is called the 'Fresh Market Day' at Shops.
Locally cultivated organic and conventional produce is sold along the streets. You will find a wide variety of cakes, salsa sauces, breads and oils. Local farmers sell locally sourced honey, herbs and plants.
This event is arranged by the Tampa Bay Markets. According to the organizers, fresh open air markets are hosted in different locations all around Tampa with at least 50 vendors selling exclusively homemade, hand-packed, local and eco-friendly products. The principal aim is to boost the local economy.
Music and bikes
The Shops at Wiregrass is also an excellent place to enjoy live music. The first Tuesday of every month is highlighted by "You Nite", a live music event. Many bands perform here in the evenings at the mall's center court. The Shops at Wiregrass also hosts "Bike Night" every third Saturday of the month from March to October. The mall invites church choirs as well as local artists to sing and perform at Center Court during the holiday season.
More than shopping
A few of the entertainment events are organized by the shop owners and their staff without any external help. The shows are usually organized once every month.
Visitors in New Tampa also have some more recreational options:
- Barnes and Noble is a paradise for book and coffee lovers.
- Head to the Prime Bar if you prefer to dine and wine till the wee hours of the morning. It is a casual restaurant and bar for cocktails, beer, wine and all around American cuisine. The food is delicious too.
- The Brass Tap is known for serving 40 different kinds of beer on tap and about 300 imported branded brews. You can hang out with your friends at the huge patio.
New Tampa has several options for recreation as well as work, which is making it a popular option to invest in the housing sector. You can contact any of the New Tampa real estate agents to find the right property for you.

A political blog and online organizing hub for the New York-based P.A.C., referencing the look of classic American campaign posters. Includes iContact integration, a self-maintaining events calendar, profiles with Twitter integration for multiple author/organizers, and custom tools for visualizing the results of the group's various GOTV campaigns, with e-mail subscriptions, guest blogger functionality, and a robust comments system baked in to help keep membership informed and involved.
Features: blogs, branding, client/member management (CRM) integration, content management (CMS), events calendar, forms, logo design, print design.
Dr. Rebecca Schrag spends her days helping low-income parents to care for their newborns and toddlers at Montefiore Children's Hospital in the Bronx. She also established a private practice to make her services and expertise available throughout the city, and we worked with her to develop the business's logo and branding, and then a website and various printed matter to match. The site aims to be simple and informative, with tablet and mobile versions baked right in, so it's useable and easy no matter how a beleaguered parent may reach it.
Features: branding, logo design, mobile site, print design, responsive design.
Video portfolio and photoblog for the New York-based cinematographer. Joe couldn't decide between dark and light themes, so we opted to let visitors choose (click the light bulb in the upper right corner).
Features: animated transitions, branding, content management (CMS), fun, logo design, mobile site, responsive design, video.
An online store and wholesale distribution service for self-published and small press comics. We guarantee there is a short-run, hand-made marvel you don't yet know you love waiting for you on this site.
Designed to complement the DIY, rough-edged aesthetic of the products it carries (and a playful logo crafted by cartoonist Aaron Renier), Radiator Comics nevertheless maintains a clean, useable interface that makes it really easy for visitors to discover and buy beautiful comics.
Features: animated transitions, blogs, branding, client/member management (CRM) integration, content management (CMS), ecommerce, events calendar, forms, fun, image galleries, mobile site, print design, responsive design.
One of our pet projects here at Boy Blue, DecisionBot is a set of tools to help us all make up our minds. Born of the realization that a lot of us spend a lot of time fretting over decisions of very little consequence, DecisionBot is designed to randomly generate answers to trivial questions, and to help you weigh your options in more serious matters. A responsively designed site with a built-in web app for iOS devices, you can take DecisionBot with you in your pocket and never again get caught in a burritos-or-felafel loop.
Features: branding, forms, fun, interactivity, logo design, math, mobile site, responsive design, web app.
NYCC had good branding and a nice site, but they couldn't update it without calling a programmer. It was an untenable situation for a rental house with a constantly changing inventory.
We rebuilt the site on a WordPress platform which we customized and streamlined so that content can be updated in seconds. We gave the design a gentle facelift, made the site retina-ready, and built in mobile versions for phones and tablets (essential in the film world, where so much work is done on the go).
Features: content management (CMS), forms, image galleries, mobile site, responsive design.

This is one our own pet projects: A webcomics site that prioritizes an intuitive and fun reader experience, like the medium of comics has boasted for a hundred years. (Clunky webcomics sites are a pet-peeve.) At the same time, the site takes advantage of its format's unique possibilities, allowing readers to call up maps, author annotations, reader comments and more at any time. (We make the comic, too.)
Features: blogs, content management (CMS), illustration, logo design, print design, responsive design.
We designed and built this tool for a community bank in the Bronx with a mission to help its neighbors get and stay out of debt. With a bit of information about your credit card balance, the Debt Calculator can estimate how much money you'll spend paying it down, how long it will take, and whether you'd be better of consolidating your debt with a Neighborhood Trust "Trust Card." If requested, the calculator can then pass along that information to an associate at the bank.
Features: forms, fun, infographics, interactivity, math.
An organizing hub for New york's transit advocacy organization, including a blog, events calendar, multiple forms and a host of useful information. We branded the Alliance from the ground up, from their logo through the playful, rounded edges and friendly colors seen throughout their site.

This was one of the prototypes for our HomeBase series of self-updating websites for busy people on a budget. Called "The Keneticist," this model is specially tailored to filmmakers like Guez. It synchs to her Vimeo account and updates itself whenever a new video is added. It also keeps its news page up-to-date by linking itself to Guez's Twitter and Facebook pages. With a built-in contact form to make it easy for potential clients to get in touch, this is a solution for the hard-working creative professional with enough on her hands already.
Features: forms, mobile site, responsive design, self-updating, video.
Girlcate's baking blog is our first foray into the world of epicurean erotica. We designed the site and populate it with pictures, and like to think we've become pretty proficient taste-testers in the process.

Jodi, one of our favorite designers and a frequent collaborator, was on her way to a big design conference, and needed a site that would be beautiful and easy to use on tablets and phones, so that she'd never be without her portfolio. So we built this site to her specifications and adapted her designs into three different mobile and touch-friendly layouts for different size screens. The sites are all minimal and unintrusive, allowing Jodi's work to speak for itself.
Features: animated transitions, content management (CMS), image galleries, mobile site, responsive design.

Boy Blue & Co. designs and builds unique, idiosyncratic web presences for creative professionals, small businesses, and nonprofits.
We view our role broadly, often providing our clients with logos, illustrations, photographs, and copy. (We've even been known to contribute to blogs we've built.) Whether you need a complete branding package or just a banner illustration to finish your look, we're here to help.
Boy Blue was unwittingly founded by Kenan, an artist and designer in Brooklyn, when he concluded the only way he could afford a decent website that didn't look exactly like everybody else's was to make it himself. He soon found he was not the only one looking for unique, high-quality, accessible web design. He maintains his personal journal and online sketchbook at underthehaystack.net.

Millions of Americans are watching their bills more closely as middle-class incomes continue to stagnate in the nation's uneven economic recovery.
So it's frustrating to hear opponents of climate action once again use the threat of higher electricity rates as a scare tactic to try to stop the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan. We know it has many people concerned.
The good news is we have more evidence than ever before to prove our opponents wrong.
We pay the same rates for power now as in 1994
Electric rates in the United States have remained steady over the last 20 years, even as consumption of renewable energy increased 40 percent, statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show. Over the same time, we reduced coal plant emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides by more than 75 percent.
