Wireless usb drops after 100secs
Hi everyone, so I did a clean install of windows 7 64 bit sp1 yesterday. It was an upgrade from windows 7 64 bit. The wireless usb worked fine before the upgrade. Now it won't stay connected for more than 100secs.
I have a TP-Link WN722N; d-link dir-655 router. I installed all the new drivers, disabled IPV6, don't have any firewall, anti virus, etc, but still it disconnects after 1min45sec. And I have to either unplug and plug it back it or use the trouble shoot option. And the trouble shoot would say "problem with wireless adapter or access point". and I tried to go back to windows 7 64bit but the problem persisted, so I am stuck. Please help, how do I fix this? this is so annoying. |

akb87 - Welcome to SF,
Please try these recommendations: Have you tried a wired connection? Were you able to replicate the issue? Make sure that 'Obtain DNS server address automatically' is selected from your Wireless connection. Here's How. Remove your network encryption from the router, test your connection after. If you can't connect, try a WEP security. Disable the problematic Wireless Network Adapter's power saving mode from Device Manager, locate the Network Adapter=> Wi-Fi Adapter=. Properties=> Power Management Tab, in here you may disable any Power Save mode options by unchecking them off. Test your connections after, and if it's still an issue please provide the following: ====================== Click on Start => in run or search box type cmd, press enter. Open up a command prompt, run as an Admin then Copy and Paste these ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt . Please attach the .txt file to be found in your Local Disk 'C' on your next post. From your wireless computer pls. install and run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector. Click on the 'Show Networks' to display all wireless networks on the xirrus icon on your desktop of if you have one running in a corner. Tap the Printscreen key on your keyboard, open up Paint then choose Edit from the Menu and select Paste, then SAVE it. Upload and attached it here, click on Go Advanced and locate Manage Attachments Tab and attached the file. Please post back and give us an update. |

Thanks for the Xirrus snap shot. No one is using Channel 1, pls. change the Wireless Channel to 1 and see if it helps.
If changing the channel didn't help at all, and if your router has removable antenna, you may replace them with High Gain Antenna, get at least 9dBi or higher. You may also replace your Wi-Fi Adapter with High-Gain Antenna. Pls check these out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003F6...153361&sr=8-13 http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/...=58&ProdID=152 |

Thanks for the quick response 2xg! I changed the channel, no luck.
I don't think it's the reception. The router is right above my room, and I used the wireless usb on my laptop (running ubuntu) and it worked fine, no drops at all. I think it's the setting in windows or d-link. At this point, I am leaning toward windows, because Id never had a problem with wireless before the upgrade. |

According from your Xirrus snap shot, your neighbors do have excellent Signal, yours is just okay.
If you can borrow somebody else's USB Wi-Fi Adapter and install it in your computer, see if you can duplicate the issue. |

Just to update on the situation.
So it turns out it's not windows, it's not the router, it's not the wireless usb. It's the motherboard. For some strange reason, changing the settings for usb in the bios made it work. Internet has been going strong for 2 days without dropping now. Will report back in a week to give a final update. Thank you 2xg for all the help! |

1 The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth; | 1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth--and not I only, but also all who know the truth-- |
2 for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: | 2 because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever: |
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. | 3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love. |
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father. | 4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. |
5 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. | 5 And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. |
6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. | 6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. |
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don't confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist. | 7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. |
8 Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward. | 8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. |
9 Whoever transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn't have God.

Universal microchip lookup tool available to find lost pets
For the first time, a new Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool is available to help veterinary hospitals and shelters reunite lost pets with owners by checking participating pet-recovery services' registries. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) unveiled www.petmicrochiplookup.org in September. By entering the scanned pet ID number online, the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool works by accessing the databases of participating registries. A search returns a list of the registries with which a microchip has been enrolled and the enrollment dates, starting with the most recent, plus phone numbers for the registries. If a microchip is not enrolled in a participating registry, the Web site provides the name of the manufacturer or distributor and a corresponding phone number. To avoid proprietary, privacy laws and other concerns, pet-owner information is not included. The free Internet-based resource already is linked with the American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery, HomeAgain by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health, Petlink by Datamars and resQ by Bayer Animal Health. More companies are expected to provide the site with their registry information in the coming months. The goal is to streamline the issue of identifying the correct pet-recovery registry. The Coalition for Reuniting Pets and Families endorses the new tool. Members include AAHA, the American Humane Association, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the American Society of Veterinary Medical Association Executives, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Humane Society of the United States, the National Federation of Humane Societies and the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators. |

On motion by defendants to compel plaintiffs' response to interrogatories…
The judge says that the electronic document database makes facts easy to find; this is not like the old days, when businesses communicated with smoke signals:Remember those days? The days when businesses communicated with smoke signals?
Judge Michael Baylson says that in this post-smoke-signal era counsel can "search a large collection of documents for specific facts, without significant burden… the actual searching is not expensive." Judge Baylson goes on to get rather specific regarding the types of "facts" which are easily searched:I agree that it is easy to search ESI databases. To search. Finding information is more difficult. Compiling the found information to develop a record of facts is even more difficult. The example provided by the judge, where we use our ESI database to figure out when trade shows took place and who attended those shows is not (necessarily) "easy" and "inexpensive."
Of note:
1. The parties are three months into an eight month discovery phase. Plaintiff's offered to answer the interrogatories within 60 days of the close of this phase of discovery. Defendants rejected the offer
2. The judge orders the plaintiffs to answer the interrogatories but he limits the scope by acknowledging that the answers will not be complete and only requires disclosure of facts "currently available."
Lesson learned:
The judge's decision is surprising to this blogger because of the rationale used. I just do not agree that "facts" are that easy to identify in a database of millions of documents. However, plaintiff loses this one, so what can we do better next time? The memo in opposition is missing a detailed plan describing how document review is being conducted, what analysis techniques are going to be applied, what the schedule is, how much it will cost, etc. Now, I am not sure this would alter the result in this case because the result here is rather toothless. However, the judge makes the point that early answers to contention questions should advance the goals of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.The opposition to the motion should specifically state why early answers do not make determination just, speedy, and inexpensive. In other words, state specifically why early answers will make determination less just, less speedy, and more expensive. The way you do this is by detailing your document review plan.

Wake up to the morning sunshine glittering over the calm water sheltered by the neighbouring islands that rise above the waterline. These million-dollar views will follow you wherever you end up, from your balcony to the resort pool, secluded beach or a National Park lookout.
Spend your days lazing by the pool sipping cocktails, feasting on locally sourced seafood and fresh produce at open-air restaurants that take full advantage of the view, or venture out on laid-back mainland day trips to the nearby beaches and waterfalls like Cedar Creek Falls in Conway National Park.
Watch the afternoon sun set over the bay at Airlie Beach as you nurse a crisp glass of wine on the deck of the local sailing club. The friendly atmosphere is full of lively conversations from the returning boaties sharing stories about their favourite spots. Create your own story by putting your hand up to join a crew on a twilight sailing race, every Wednesday - the captain will show you the ropes.
And make sure you pack your dancing shoes and get amongst the social, vibrant nightlife at Airlie Beach with a group of friends or if an intimate affair is more your style, delight in a star lit dinner for two on a deserted island beach.

How much iron you absorb from food, particularly non-haem iron from plant foods, also depends on what you eat and drink at the same time. A number of substances in foods influence the percentage of iron absorbed from foods.
Vitamin C-rich foods (like most fruits) and the protein in meat can increase the amount of iron you absorb from fruits, vegetables and cereals. Tip: You can probably double the amount of iron your body gets from a breakfast cereal, for example, if you have a glass of orange juice at the same time.
Some compounds in foods, called inhibitors, bind with iron and stop it being absorbed through the walls of the bowel into the bloodstream. Some inhibitors are present in foods which also contain iron, while others you can simply avoid eating or drinking at the same time as you consume your iron. This is particularly important for non-haem iron, which is hard to absorb anyway. Inhibitors include:

BlizzCon 2009: First impressions of Cataclysm races {WoW}
Aug 28th 2009 12:35PM Oddly, the stuff about the new race starting quests seems to remind me of some of what I've heard of Champions Online, in which apparently you start as a top-tier famous hero right from the beginning. As opposed to City of Heroes and current Warcraft both, in which you start as some guy with potential and gradually work your way up to standing side to side with legends.
The concern I have with these examples is of how it'll be if you go from being the hero of your race to collecting wolf livers in some wilderness somewhere... it'll seem quite the comedown.
Night Elves and Worgen: Druid allies of the Moon {WoW}
Aug 25th 2009 3:10PM Don't forget the hints that the Worgen are somehow related to an ancient Druid order. Pretty vague, but it's possibly related to why the Night Elves are seeking to welcome them into the Alliance.
My wild speculation regarding the Worgen is that they'll have a story arc in which they start off desperately seeking to regain their lost humanity before eventually becoming reconciled to their new nature as Worgen, having discovered the true history and nature of the Worgen.
Night Elves and Worgen: Druid allies of the Moon {WoW}
Aug 25th 2009 3:05PM I'm a Hordie who thinks Varian is an over-aggressive fool, but he's not an insane racist. He has good reason for his dislike of the Orcs and the Forsaken, which are the two he really has issues with.
Furthermore, there are major differences between the Forsaken and the Worgen - for example, they both have apothecaries busily experimenting, but the Forsaken apothecaries experimenting upon the living (including fellow members of the Horde) to find new ways to kill people horribly, while the Worgen apothecaries are experimenting upon other Worgen to find ways to retain their humanity.
Night Elves and Worgen: Druid allies of the Moon {WoW}
Aug 25th 2009 2:58PM Actually, most people are guessing that the whole Tauren Sun-worship thing is a lead-in to tauren priests and paladins rather than a new kind of Tauren Druid-magic. They're talking about the importance of worshipping both of the Earthmother's eyes, so abandoning the Moon entirely would be just as bad. Druids continue to follow the Moon, while Tauren priests and paladins in turn honour the Sun.
Breakfast Topic: What do you think of new race and class combos? {WoW}
Aug 24th 2009 10:41AM Of all the races in the Horde, the Tauren are the ones who have the biggest problem with the Forsaken anyway, tending to view them as unnatural abominations. They make them hang out in a dank and unpleasant cave.
Still, the Forsaken aren't evil monsters - most of the nastier ones turned traitor during Wrathgate, and there are plenty of them who - as Thrall wanted all along - are starting to reconnect to the rest of the Horde rather than viewing everyone else as "the living".
Breakfast Topic: What do you think of new race and class combos? {WoW}
Aug 24th 2009 10:37AM An alternate explanation is that there were relatively few Belfs able to be a nonmagical class due to their magic addiction; with the purification of the Sunwell, this problem has been solved, and more Blood Elfs are able to diversify in this way.
Breakfast Topic: What do you think of new race and class combos? {WoW}
Aug 24th 2009 10:29AM The constant complaints about lore from people who seem to barely understand it are just silly.
Druids turn into bears to remove people's faces with a single swipe of their massive paws, which isn't "peaceful" by any definition of the term. Nor are Horde trolls cannibals - they agreed to give that up, though there may be a few who haven't.
All the World's a Stage: More possibilities for goblins and worgen in Cataclysm {WoW}
Aug 23rd 2009 8:04PM The very next line of the piece you link to says that all of this "speculation", and some very vague stuff about links to ancient druids doesn't mean they're NOT extradimensional. It could mean that the Scythe of Elune has been used before; it could mean that they originated in Kalimdor as druids but had to be sealed away in another dimension after going crazy. The few bits of new lore that've trickled in aren't a good reason just to chuck away the lore that already talks of extradimensional Worgen.
BlizzCon 2009: Cataclysm dungeons {WoW}
Aug 23rd 2009 9:02AM Technically, I think Deepholm is where Deathwing is supposed to be *right now* - his busting out is what sets off the Cataclysm. By the time we're of a level to go there, he'll be long gone.
Ask a Lore Nerd: Speculative speculation, part 2 {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2009 8:35PM As regards the Eredar thing, my personal preference has always been to split the difference. The Eredar were, by and large, a fairly decent people, though not as upstanding as the Draenai we know are; some of them chose to practice evil demonic magics and become warlocks.
That some of the Eredar - who basically had everything going for them - would still choose to become evil just because they could would be really depressing to Sargeras, and make him wonder if he can ever succeed on his mission while free-willed races can still freely choose to do evil. So he goes nuts.
Most of the Eredar do seem to be corrupted fairly easily, after all. There's none of the elaborate trickery involved like they would later do with the orcs; no pretending to be their ancestral spirits or working with a very evil secret society. Sargeras offers them power, and most of them accept. A relative few - who were probably already the nicer Eredar anyway - don't, and head off, eventually falling in with the Naaru and becoming generally more decent and lovely as they go. Over time, their memories play tricks on them and they remember their people pre-corruption as better than they were, out of a mixture of shame and nostalgia.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is PIERRE aka Pedro!
Facts about PIERRE aka Pedro
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
PIERRE aka Pedro's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, and good with dogs.
Only 2 years old, this purebred German Shepherd ran out of time at the shelter. Our volunteer could not bear the thought of what is going to happen to him the very next day, and pulled him. So now our mainly Boxer rescue has a beautiful purebred GS.
Pierre (as we call him now) used to have a female mate. Without another dog, he seems to have separation anxiety.
Please fill out an adoption application. After review, one of our volunteers will contact you to answer your questions and to set up a home check and a meeting with the dogs. Inquiries WITHOUT the application will NOT be answered. Here is the link:
Other Pets at Sachi Animal Rescue SF Bay Area - Alameda
Why Adoption is a Great Option
PIERRE aka Pedro, a Alameda German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Alameda, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Alameda.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Alameda already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Alameda breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Alameda paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have been growing Iris for a few years and over the years have added different colors just to see them bloom. I don't keep up with names or any of that. A few days ago I got a mess of fans from an older lady that told me something about them and I was curious whether it was true or not.She said that if you look at the back of a fan at the bottom of the stem if it has a purple color to it it's most likely going to be a two-tone color. Does anyone know if this is true? I checked mine and I have alot with this color on them. Because most of them I bought last year they didn't bloom this year so I haven't even seen the bloom colors. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have selfs (solid) with purple base foliage too. Laurie at Shadowwood has a list. It shows up on my browser on the lower right of the screen. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Shadowwood PBF list
I have several selfs with pp foliage too. I thought for a while that purple foliage might mean purple or blue blooms, but Harvest of Memories has very purple base foliage. |
She said that if you look at the back of a fan at the bottom of the stem if it has a purple color to it it's most likely going to be a two-tone color. Does anyone know if this is true? I've never looked at the back of a fan at the bottom, only looked at the front of the base. I do know that Wabash and Bright Hour are both 2 tone and the way to distinguish between the two is that Wabash has a purple tinge at the base of the fans, most visible in the spring. Sue |

NEW YORK, April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU), New York's Official Hometown Airline, today opened its new corporate headquarters in Long Island City, Queens. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Senator Charles E. Schumer and other top government leaders joined JetBlue's President and CEO Dave Barger in cutting the ribbon on the airline's innovative new home, the latest addition to the vibrant Long Island City community.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110216/NY49312LOGO )
The decision to keep its headquarters in New York City was announced in 2010, setting JetBlue on a journey to combine into one main corporate support center its former Forest Hills, Queens office where more than 900 crewmembers and business partners worked, with its Darien, Conn. office where approximately 70 crewmembers worked. JetBlue's crewmembers from Darien, who provide transactional financial support for the airline, now work alongside colleagues in Long Island City, bringing 70 jobs to the Empire State.
"Since our start up in New York in 1998 and our first flight from JFK in 2000, JetBlue's home, heart and soul have always remained in New York," said Mr. Barger. "Now in our second decade, we are growing jobs with this new office, serving seven Empire State destinations with more daily seats between New York City and upstate than any other airline, and growing the regional economy with competitive fares. JetBlue is proud to stay here in New York, grow here in New York and continue being New York's hometown airline."
"JetBlue has played a huge role in making New York City the nation's number one travel destination," said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. "The many reasons why people come to New York as tourists on JetBlue planes also are good reasons why JetBlue is expanding its corporate headquarters here. We couldn't be prouder that JetBlue has cast a major vote of confidence in Long Island City as a great place to do business."
"This is just another example of why Jet Blue is truly New York's hometown airline," said Senator Schumer. "By opening their new headquarters building right here in Long Island City, JetBlue is once again demonstrating their commitment to New York, and I wish them all the best in their new home."
"JetBlue's continued investment in our city means more jobs for New Yorkers," said Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney. "It's truly New York's hometown airline, and I look forward to JetBlue and New York City continuing to ascend to a brighter future together."
"JetBlue is an integral component of our borough's economic engine. Approximately 1,000 employees will work in this building, located in a hub of business activity and convenient to mass transit. I believe that JetBlue will continue to be a good neighbor as it was in Forest Hills," said Queens Borough President Helen Marshall. "Today's opening, coupled with the impressive Terminal 5 at JFK and a record of having the fewest number of passengers bumped from flights, makes us happy to say, 'Welcome aboard to Long Island City.' I thank Mayor Bloomberg and his administration and all our partners in government and the private sector for making today possible."
Senator Michael Gianaris said, "JetBlue's move to Long Island City is a thrilling addition to a neighborhood that continues to emerge as a hub for jobs, revenue and economic development. Today's announcement is excellent news for job creation in western Queens, which continues to see more large corporations, small businesses and economic development initiatives succeed here. I welcome JetBlue to the neighborhood and look forward to working with them to make our neighborhood that much better."
"On behalf the residents of Western Queens, I am thrilled to welcome JetBlue to Long Island City," said Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan. "Relocating to Long Island City has helped keep jobs in Queens and contribute to the growth, economic development and revitalization of Long Island City."
"The arrival of JetBlue in Long Island City represents a milestone in the rebirth of Queens Plaza," said Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer. "With over 1,000 JetBlue crewmembers now calling Long Island City home, the gateway to Queens will be more vibrant, and full of local economic activity. Welcome aboard JetBlue!"
Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Kenneth Adams said, "The expansion of JetBlue shows that by forging innovative partnerships and improving New York's business climate, even the sky isn't the limit for our ability to create jobs and economic growth. By aligning JetBlue with the iconic I LOVE NEW YORK brand, this project brings together the best that New York has to offer, leveraging our world-renowned tourism economy with a unique investment opportunity to demonstrate that New York is open for business and travel."
"JetBlue's decision not only to keep its headquarters in New York City, but to grow here as well serves as a testament to the continuing appeal of all that is taking place in the City generally and in Queens in particular. Going forward, we look forward to working with this great homegrown business as it continues to remake the aviation industry," said New York City Economic Development Corporation President Seth W. Pinsky.
Port Authority Executive Director Pat Foye said, "The Port Authority's association with JetBlue can be traced all the way back to the airline's very first flight from JFK to Fort Lauderdale in 2000. Today, JetBlue serves nearly 14 million combined annual passengers at all four of our commercial airports. We're proud of this partnership that has delivered great service and thousands of jobs to the region, and applaud JetBlue as it moves into its new New York home."
After an exhaustive multi-state study to determine the best location for its corporate offices, JetBlue decided that remaining in its hometown of New York made the most sense. The city is an important part of its heritage and culture, its brand and its customer connection, as well as its operation, with JetBlue's base at JFK's Terminal 5 and an expanding operation at LaGuardia Airport.
The decision has been celebrated by the unprecedented joint branding of Milton Glaser's world-recognized I LOVE NEW YORK logo, solidifying JetBlue's status as the official hometown airline of New York.
New Address: 27-01 Queens Plaza North, Long Island City, New York
"Long Island City will provide a unique backdrop for JetBlue's future. It's a neighborhood in transition from an industrial past to a unique urban future embracing art, business and residential development," said Joanna Geraghty, JetBlue's executive vice president, chief people officer. "Long Island City has emerged on the New York City scene as a newcomer full of possibility, just like JetBlue introduced change to the airline industry at the turn of the century. We're a good match."
JetBlue now occupies approximately 200,000 square feet in the historic Brewster Building in Long Island City. The Brewster Building is owned by Brause Realty, a New York City-based real estate company. JetBlue is subleasing the space from MetLife, who will continue to maintain a presence at the location.
The Brewster Building has a relevant aviation history. It was built in 1911 and is where the Brewster Aeronautical Company manufactured the Brewster F2A (a.k.a. The Brewster Buffalo), the first monoplane fighter airplane used by the U.S. Navy in World War II.
Transparent Work Space with JetBlue Brand Cues
Working with design firm HLW International, JetBlue took great care in designing a welcoming environment for its leased portion of the building. JetBlue's new home was designed to showcase its brand while also offering a connection to the airline's operation. Elements of JetBlue's award-winning Terminal 5 and the historic Saarinen Terminal at JFK were incorporated into the new space through the use of expressive curves that suggest flight, bright communal spaces, large scale branded walls and bold pops of color.
Crewmembers and visitors are welcomed into JetBlue's space by passing through a vibrant blue backlit LED portal leading into a sweeping white curved ceiling reminiscent of the aerodynamic curve of an aircraft and those seen in the original Saarinen Terminal. The reception area opens up to another sweeping curve that frames the space, with polished white floors contrasting against bold graphics and vivid furniture in the JetBlue brand colors.
Incorporation of elements such as sleek white counters, portal-shaped distraction banding, a check-in kiosk and flight information display screens showing JetBlue's departing flights at Boston, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, New York/JFK, Orlando and San Juan - the airline's five busiest airports - all suggest a sense of flight and a connection to the airline's operations. The large scale graphics highlight JetBlue's five core values - safety, caring, integrity, fun and passion - and the value airline's mission to bring humanity back to air travel.
Two monumental open staircases create signature features for the space. Each is three stories tall and provides a seamless internal connection between JetBlue's floors. The angular steel and concrete staircases enclosed by glass railings each surround a 40-foot tall, wing-shaped, backlit tower known as the "Wing." Both Wings are self-standing, exposed structures comprised of 14 ultra-slim bezel TVs stream vibrant imagery, JetBlue graphics and social media conversations, creating an ever changing backdrop and unique atmosphere within the space.
JetBlue's office features an open plan with transparency between spaces to allow for a work environment that fosters collaboration. Some of the unique work areas and furniture features include:
Similar to the well-known, single-class cabin on its aircraft, JetBlue's office design highlights the airline's focus on egalitarianism. There is one type of open-style workspace for all crewmembers through the manager level. In addition, modest, glass-front offices of the same size are used by all crewmembers from director to chief executive level.
A major portion of JetBlue's space is dedicated to a state-of-the-art System Operations Center that manages JetBlue's 750 flights each day. A critical part of JetBlue's business, the space was designed by Graph and Lewent Architecture and is supported by tier three redundant infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted 24-hour operation. Other elements include ergonomically designed sit/stand desks, natural light harvesting and a feature salt-water fish tank, which is an on-going JetBlue tradition for its System Operations Center.
JetBlue's System Operations Center seamlessly transitioned to Long Island City during the weekend of March 24, 2012. Thanks to more than 1,700 hours of testing and crewmember familiarization, the transition was completely successfully without a single impact to the operation or the airline's customers.
Construction of JetBlue's new corporate office was completed on time and on budget. Construction was managed by Turner Interiors. Other partners integral to the project included TLM Inc., Gleeds USA Inc. and Comsult Communication.
Environmentally-Friendly Design Complements Building's LEED Certification
JetBlue took an environmentally-friendly approach during the construction of its new corporate support center, adding to the Brewster Building's recognition by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) as having achieved Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED EB) Silver certification, which designates operation of high performance buildings that are environmentally responsible.
In addition, JetBlue employed the following environmentally friendly approaches during construction and design:
JetBlue offers service from seven Empire State airports: Buffalo, New York/Kennedy, New York/LaGuardia, Newburgh, Rochester, Syracuse, and Westchester County. It is the largest domestic carrier at JFK (a) and this summer is doubling operations at LaGuardia with new destinations and more frequent flights to existing cities.
JetBlue is the single largest airline operating nonstop between New York and Florida, between New York and the Caribbean, and the 6th largest passenger carrier in the United States (b), serving 70 destinations in 22 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and 12 countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.
JetBlue's home base of operations is Terminal 5 at New York's JFK, a state-of-the art terminal that opened in October of 2008. T5 focuses on efficiency and customer comfort. The 635,000-square-foot terminal boasts 26 gates distributed throughout three concourses and includes a 55,000-square-foot central retail and concession Marketplace. T5 is designed to accommodate up to 20 million annual customers with up to 250 daily departures.

Is it possible to use the Navisworks Manage 2013 .NET API to edit unopened nwd documents etc. I am proposing to set up a webservice that utilises the NET API on the same server as the Navisworks Manage 2013 installation. I would then like the ability to call this webservice remotely and update a particular file on the server i.e. by adding a label etc to a particular object in the file. Using file name/server location only Is it possible to get the equivalent details that would be returned by Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument variable in a normal plugin scenario.
Best Regards
To edit a Navisworks file, you would either start a Navisworks instance, or a .NET control application, and open the file. But for the formmer, you could make instance invisible.
And you will need to write an automation application and one plugin to do the modification (both on the server with Navisworks installed). When the client calls the ability, the automation runs to call the plugin.
In addition, the blog below shows how to add label/url to the object
Hi Xiaodong,
I have previously successfully implemented a plugin in navisworks utilising .net API to write hyperlinks /labels to specified objects using the details found at the link you provided.
Are you saying that on a client machine I could make a web-service call with details of an object selected in Redistributable Active x model to an Automation application on remote ( navisworks installed server) which would silently open model and edit it with plugin and then close.
Could I then have the model refresh on the client machine in Redistributable Active X to reflect update to model. This would give the impression of real time model updating from a client machine. Can the Automation application be called from a client side Active X as opposed to a seperate web-service call
Many Regards
NO, Redistributable Active x has limited ablities. You cannot even access current selection with it.
What I meant by 'client' is: at client side, your interface just provided a button called 'add label to my model'. When the button is clicked, the sever can know it needs to launch the automation application, while the automation knows to call the plugin to execute. In another word, no view at client end.
Of course, the assumption is: the server knows which object is needed to add label.
I understand you want to have abillity to use Redistributable Active x only to do the job, taking advantage of the automation & plugin in the server. However, since Redistributable Active x does not tell you with the current selection, I have not a way to make them feasible. Sorry.
If you use Integrated control, all things can be done at client end.
One more I have ever suggested is to ask your users to access your desktop remotely and run the app remotely. but yes, this is not a solution. It is just for inner use within your group.
If you just want to refresh the view in client with the update on server, it is possible. You will just need to load the model again.
Hi Xiaodong,
Many thanks for coming back to me on this issue. As as aside if we use the integrated model have you an example of VBScript code to call a plugin/automation etc through the integrated active x. I have created a navisworks plugin using your example for adding links to model using .NET API. If we could call that on the server it would at least help witth integrating the functionality into a website without user having to open navisworks manually.
Best Regards
What I meant is to start your automation (EXE) (which is on the server) by VBScript. I did not try this, but it looks feasible to me. If you google with "VBScript start process", you may get some clue.
BUT, since you plan to use Integreated control which is fully enabled with API, you can just load the model and modify it directly (without other automation + plugin ). After saving, you may need to upload the newest version to override the version on the server. Sorry I am far from being an expert of web, I have not much information for it.
Hi Xiaodong,
I have tried a few other ways of updating model in website. One is to try and call an automation plugin from vbscript and pass in relevant parameters.I am using the below code.
public function btnStartPlugin()
Dim aString
Dim plugin2
Dim navisworksApplication
aString = "Hello"
plugin2 = "AM_HyperLinks.MyAddIn"
Set app = CreateObject("NavisWorks.Document")
'make sure it's visible
app.visible = true
end function
However the website I am currently trying this on has a trial version installed. So everytime I run vbscript to run plugin the buy now or try message appears as part of Navisworks load. Once I accept to try it closes window and causes a console error that Navisworks.Document could not be opened. Is this trial copy popup interfering with the automation call process.
As we are working with the integrated model you had suggested working diretcly with models using API etc. If I use the default integrated Active X how can I access model properties using C# etc in our website. I have tried creating an Active X of our own using examples in api folders but I am currently having a lot of hassle with Visual Web Developer.
I get the following error
Warning 1 Task attempted to find "AxImp.exe" in two locations. 1) Under the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\" processor specific directory which is generated based on SdkToolsPath 2) The x86 specific directory under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\" which is specified by the SDKToolsPath property. You may be able to solve the problem by doing one of the following: 1) Set the "SDKToolsPath" property to the location of the Microsoft Windows SDK. ActiveXFindExample
Looking into this I tried downlaoding the relevant SDK for Visual Studio but this only works in Visual Studio 2010 on as opposed to Visual Web Developer. If I could get this working I might be able to create our own active x/windows form and embed it in website and do all relevant linking of model to databse items in website.
Have you any suggestions with regards to both approaches. I would imagine that the second approach would give you more power over models. I will try and access these projects on a 32 bit system with Visual Studio 2010 installed but If I am not able is there any other ways around the aximp error above.
firstly, it looks you are trying to execute a .NET plugin from the application of COM ? This is not a support way. In Navisworks, COM API cannot call .NET API. .NET API can call COM by COM bridge, as you have known. So,
either call COM plugin. I did not try. In theory, I think it is possible
or, you create an automation of .NET API (EXE), this EXE calls the .NET plugin. In your web application (COM), start the EXE.
about access properties by C#, please take a look at
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage 2013\api\COM\examples\Auto\AutoUserPropsExample
It is written in C#. Probably you could get some idea there.

Lovely backpack
I love this backpack when i first saw it at store. fashion and easily to use. so many pockets. Love it!
October 27, 2014
I love this bag!
I love this bag because it's stylish and allows your hands to be free while shopping and doing other things. It's comfortable and fun to wear. I love the many pockets and areas to keep things. Only small issue is there is not a pocket that is very big for larger items. It would be great to have a larger version also.
August 15, 2014
Very good bag for traveling it is hands free
I have the same bag in white and love it-no worries about it getting stolen from the grocery cart! - so wanted a duplicate for cooler weather. It is well-made and I get many complements on it and "where did you get it?" questions.
July 30, 2014
Nice, but needs a better closure!
Love the look and feel of this bag, that's the positive...
Now the Negative....once you fill it, the top by the handles will not stay closed, magnetic closure doesn't work unless your carrying super light stuff. I purchased the White/Tan and the look is sharp, the leather has a soft supple feel, also like that it offers plenty of storage compartments for quick findings of your items. In the end I kept the bag, used Velcro to help close the top but a SNAP CLOSURE is all this bag needed to be perfect!
July 12, 2014
Great looking bag
I was looking for something more polished than my cloth over the shoulder bag. I have always loved a backpack purse, but most are either too small or too large. This one is the perfect size! I have 2 deep pockets and 2 short pockets(all with zippers as well as an easy access place for quick retrieval. I love the quality and the great color choices. I have worn Clarke's shoes for years, but didn't know they sold purses too. Glad I checked out the web site!
April 27, 2014
Openings WAY too small.
Loved the look of this purse online, but when I got it I couldn't get anything into it... like one should in a backpack purse. Very disappointed and sent it back.
April 11, 2014
Soooooo pretty
I first saw this "hand bag" at a Clark's store in Virginia. I was unable to make a purchase at that time. I was able to easily find this bag on the Clark's website. How happy was I that it was still available. The bag is beautiful. It is not heavy like some leather bags. There are many options for storage. Small slip pockets, a side zip pocket, 2 top zip pockets as well as one deep pocket right in the center. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase.
April 29, 2014
Casual elegance
Very stylish. Color red looks good. Now I have a bag that I can carry with casual and elegant dresses . It has a compartment for each of your needs. If you want to combine style with use this is worth the price.
April 15, 2014
Great bag
This bag is exactly as described and I received it yesterday. I do not usually carry a back pack style or a bag with compartments but this bag is great. I had actully seen a lady carrying this exact bag in red standing in a line in front of me and she told me where she purchased it.Now I have it and I could not be more pleased ,and I am very particular about my leather bags!

If we named the Super Bowl winner on something abstract and entirely unrelated to football like, say, the musical talents of the respective fanbases, then we could all just go home now and save ourselves from bodily harm through excessive eating and drinking.
I'm really not sure how people embarrassed themselves publicly before the Internet and Youtube, because I can't remember a time when those things didn't exist. Merely thinking about that world is frightening.
But when you put the Internet, a Super Bowl, and groovin' guitar solos and/or hip hop stylings together you get: fan songs. So many fan songs.
As we continue our celebration of the holiest football day, I took a quick glance around the various Super Bowl musical productions pumped into the web's interconnecting tubes. A small sampling shows that 49ers fans are much more skilled when they attempt to sing a note that doesn't prompt excessive bleeding.

Celebrities wearing Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses
Nicole Scherzinger's 6 best sunglasses moments
The singer turns 34 today and we're celebrating her with a tribute!
6. Nicole shows off her animal print bag with a paisley top, shield shaped sunglasses, hoop earrings and her long, black hair down. She picked Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses that flatter her skin tone and facial features.
5. For an airplane trip, Nicole went casual with torn jeans, chevron flats, bags from Prada and Hermes, a ruched top, a fedora and Ray Ban sunglasses. Get them here: Ray Ban large aviators.
4. Back in 2011, Scherzinger's song, "Wet", was all the rage. For the video, she wore a hoodie and Carrera sunglasses with oversized, square earrings and a fishtail braid. Get them here: Carrera Champion.
3. Nicole shows off her favorite print in the world: leopard. She wears it on her dress and bag, and paired it with golden Roberto Cavalli sunglasses and a fedora. Very chic!
2. Nicole's workout routine is still to be revealed, but she's doing a great job staying in shape! Pictured here, she's wearing an all black look with Jimmy Choo sunglasses that are butterfly shaped.
1. Nicole and Lewis Hamilton have been together for five years, and it seems like he might propose pretty soon! The F1 star hinted he might pop the question before their 6th anniversary. Pictured here, Nicole is wearing flip-flops with her Nanette Lepore dress and Gucci sunglasses (get them here), while Hamilton opted for a sporty look with Bvlgari shades.
Selena Gomez reveals new single, album cover & tracklist for "Stars Dance"
After the top 10 success of Come & Get It, Selena Gomez released a new single from her upcoming album: it's called Slow Down, and it's got the same party style of her other hits! On the occasion, Gomez also revealed the cover of the album, Stars Dance, which will be out globally on June 23. The cover features an embellished Selena, sexily glazing to her fans. The 20 year old singer took to Twitter to share the title of each one of the 11 songs on the album, and hinted that it can already be pre-ordered on iTunes and Amazon. And apparently, one of the songs (Love Will Remember) is about her ex, Justin Bieber! Gomez told InStyle magazine that it's a very personal song, and far from being aggressive, as people would have expected. She even goes as far as saying he'll probably love it!
Pictured here earlier this month, Gomez looked comfortable, but maybe a bit too bundled up, as she tried to keep a low profile to meet with her friend who, in contrast, is wearing flip flops. The singer is wearing gray sweatpants with wedge sneakers, a black cardigan, a knitted beanie and scarf, as well as her favorite accessories: the Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses and bag.
Listen to Slow Down below and get Selena's look: Dolce&Gabbana DG4149 sunglasses, $151.

Square shaped and with the iconic T-temples, these Tom Ford sunglasses are a celebrity favorite. Most of them opt for the black version, but they also come in brown and havana. Wear them with a swimsuit like Reese Witherspoon, or pair them with a floral dress and a light sweater on top.

7. Versace VE4214 sunglasses, $142
Who doesn't love a good pair of cat eye sunglasses? This Versace style is chic and easy to wear, whether in black, havana, red, brown or white. We love how they look with nautical stripes and jeans, in Anne Hathaway's style.
6. Ray Ban Large Metal Aviator sunglasses, $112
Another classic number that celebrities can't get enough of! The aviator style is flattering on most faces, and it brings about a special allure that both men and women love in their wardrobes. We like them with a white t-shirt and a blazer on top, for both sexes.
5. Prada 17O sunglasses, $167
We've rarely seen Miranda Kerr in something other than her Prada sunglasses this year! She started a trend, and soon other celebrities followed.

4. Dolce&Gabbana Matt Silk Sunglasses, $151

The exaggerated cat eye shape of the Nikita sunglasses make them a true fashion statement. Available in black, cream or havana, these shades were worn by everyone from Cate Blanchett to Paris Hilton. Try them with a vintage-inspired look to really show them off.
1. Ray Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses, $109.
This retro style is still going strong as the hottest celebrity sunglasses of the moment. Being square shaped and unisex, they're flattering on all face types, and men and women enjoy them alike. If you ask us, you can't go wrong with investing in Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses – they're here to stay! From a tuxedo to a varsity jacket, there's no combination that these shades would fail in.
Nina Dobrev in Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses
Nina Dobrev has some fun posing with a friend, both is spring break looks – Dobrev is wearing mint cutoffs and a sweater, with her favorite Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses and a fedora. The latest season of Vampire Diaries has just wrapped up, and Dobrev confessed that she would like Elena to end up backpacking through Europe, and to ditch the boys or, as she puts it "experience the life without the vampires". Since the actress is working so much, from early in the morning to late at night, many fans have wondered what her beauty secret is, how she doesn't look tired: "Getting those hours in. I'm very serious about my sleep and everyone that knows me knows that: 'Don't wake Nina up from a nap!' But, yeah, I mean, moisture and drinking water and eating regularly and having energy – that's important – drinking teas, like matcha green tea lattes," the actress shares.
Get the look: Dolce&Gabbana DG 4162 sunglasses, $140 + free shipping.
Selena Gomez in Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses
Selena Gomez is wearing an all black outfit with Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses and a white bag, as she arrives at LAX airport, heading for the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. For the occasion, the singer performed her latest hit single, "Come & Get It", and she also had a little reunion with her ex, Justin Bieber. Or is he still her ex? Apparently, Gomez met Beiber backstage at the Billboards, and while she was very friendly and stopped for a kiss and a chat, her two friends (one being Taylor Swift) showed disapproval and hurried Gomez to pass him by. Rumors of their relationship are always on the front page of tabloids, the latest being that Bieber ordered a custom diamond ring for Gomez, which he would apparently give to her on her 21 birthday. We honestly doubt that such a grand gesture comes after a breakup, and we kinda wish one of them would move on into a different relationship, just so the rumors would stop.
Get the look: Dolce&Gabbana DG 4149 sunglasses, $151.

Oliver Frances' Frugal Find Under Nine:
Description of CENTURY'S ENDINGS:
The stories in Century's Endings narrate the social problems of man and his drama with life. Some are set in a political climate of regimes abolished at the end of the last century and others where the rulers are men of narrow thought.
In Century's Endings, explore the worlds of:
"Faith"…A Soviet peasant finds that an unfortunate event changes his life…twice.
"Jeremy Smith"…Luis, the Peñon, is just a guy whose mind is pestered with images and stories of the lives of the celebrities and people who have succeeded in North America. Though his ambition is to make the American dream come true, he travels mistakenly to the old continent where he sets out his adventure and, eventually, spends his live.
"The Lord"…A young man, after completing post-graduate studies in a developed country, returns to his native land, where his countrymen don't understand his vision.
"Cautious Man"… Elegábalo was a cautious man. He walked looking over his shoulder and never let his cautiousness slip away until he got what he always wished. Though Elegábalo was cautious man, he never thought of the unexpected, and this changed dramatically his fate and then fortune.
"The Forgotten Ones"…Sometimes promises made by the politicians during their campaign for votes are never carried out.
Oliver Frances' inspirations must be the philosophical novelists of 19th-20th century Europe, and as a fan of such writing by Albert Camus and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, I'm grateful for that. Too much of today's literary fiction involves navel gazing rather than examining humanity's place in the universe and the moral decisions we should make. While "Cautious Man" is a mere short story compared to his novella "Through Existences," the tale still will leave you thinking for a long time afterward. The lesson in "Cautious Man"? Don't always obtain what you want, for doing so is a trap. If that sounds strange, remember that it's a lesson learned by rock stars like John Lennon and politicians such as Richard Nixon. Frances teaches it by narrating the story of a peasant villager in a Third World country. "Cautious Man" is a strong story and serves as a good introduction to this young writer's growing body of quality work.

An excerpt from CENTURY'S ENDINGS:
The Forgotten Ones
Upon fissures of a barren soil, the peasants built up their shack on a God's forsaken land.
As the sun dipped in the horizon, the old woman sipped black coffee.
"Take your brave face off! It won't take so long."
Brushing some black strands off his forehead, he looked at the worn body seated at the furrowed wooden board. "A year gone! And, we ain't go any letter."
"Be patient! You'll get your doggone letter. He hasn't sent it 'cause he ain't warmed up his chair at the desk yet. The young believe that can do all in one day, but not even God made the world in a day," told she, puckering her brow yet more.
Flowing through the holes, yellowish light soaked his bare dark torso. "Out of the horse's mouth, I heard we'd get the property deed of our land."
The mulatto's hot air plagued her.
"Stubborn!" she said.
Hands up as if were taking both lapels, he paraphrased the governor-to-be candidate, "farming is our…"In his short jargon, he chewed the politician's word, "priority."
"So?" Asked she, nibbling crispy pastry.
"He lied through his teeth," he said, in his usual tone.
"What if he didn't?"
"Don't let the sleeping dogs lie."
The old woman hurled the pewter to one side and, then she said. "What is left to the poor is: believing."
"I no longer hold myself back for his letter."
"You're so stubborn as an ass."
"No… I am realistic! It's taken one damn year."
"Surely, he has us in mind," told she.
And, he burst into a sarcastic laughter. "No matter what is on his mind now."
"No one care about us, not even the major."

Hurricane Katrina:
Federal Grants Have Helped Health Care Organizations Provide Primary Care, but Challenges Remain
GAO-09-588: Published: Jul 13, 2009. Publicly Released: Jul 20, 2009.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The greater New Orleans area--Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, and St. Bernard parishes--continues to face challenges in restoring health care services disrupted by Hurricane Katrina. In 2007, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded the $100 million Primary Care Access and Stabilization Grant (PCASG) to Louisiana to help restore primary care services to the low-income population. Louisiana gave PCASG funds to 25 outpatient provider organizations in the greater New Orleans area. GAO was asked to study how the federal government can effectively leverage governmental resources to help area residents gain access to primary care services. This report examines (1) how PCASG fund recipients used the PCASG funds to support primary care services in greater New Orleans, (2) how PCASG fund recipients used and benefited from other federal hurricane relief funds that support the restoration of primary care services in the area, and (3) challenges PCASG fund recipients continued to face in providing primary care, and their plans for sustaining services after PCASG funds are no longer available.
PCASG fund recipients reported that they used the PCASG funds to hire or retain health care providers and other staff, add primary care services, and open new sites. For example, 20 of the 23 recipients that responded to the GAO survey reported using PCASG funds to hire health care providers, and 17 reported using PCASG funds to retain health care providers. In addition, most of the recipients reported that they used PCASG funds to add primary care services and to add or renovate sites. Recipients also reported that the grant requirements and funding helped them improve service delivery and expand access to care in underserved neighborhoods. Other federal hurricane relief funds helped PCASG fund recipients pay staff, purchase equipment, and expand mental health services to help restore primary care. Eleven recipients received HHS Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) supplemental funds designated by Louisiana for primary care, and two received SSBG supplemental funds designated by Louisiana specifically for mental health care. The funds designated for primary care were used to pay staff and purchase equipment, and the funds designated for mental health care were used to provide a range of services for adults and children, including crisis intervention and substance abuse prevention and treatment. About two-thirds of the PCASG fund recipients benefited from the Professional Workforce Supply Grant incentives. These recipients hired or retained 69 health care providers who received incentives totaling over $4 million to work in the greater New Orleans area. In addition, one PCASG fund recipient expended $7.9 million it received from Louisiana to provide services through the federal Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program. PCASG fund recipients continue to face multiple challenges and have various plans for sustainability. Recipients face significant challenges in hiring and retaining staff, as well as in referring patients outside of their organizations, and these challenges have grown since Hurricane Katrina. For example, 20 of 23 recipients that responded to the GAO survey reported hiring was a great or moderate challenge, and among these 20 recipients over three-quarters reported that this challenge had grown since Hurricane Katrina. Six of the 7 recipients that primarily provide mental health services reported that both hiring and retention of providers were great or moderate challenges. Many PCASG fund recipients also reported challenges in referring patients outside their organization for mental health, dental, and specialty care services. Although all PCASG fund recipients have completed or planned actions to increase their ability to be sustainable, it is too early to know whether their various sustainability strategies will be successful.

Golden Gate Bridge
Do yourself a favor and see the Golden Gate Bridge the way it was meant to be seen: from below. Start at the Marina end of Crissy Field, an airfield-turned-recreation-area-and-bird-refuge in the Presidio. Here, you could spend hours watching the kiteboarders skim over the waves—and crash spectacularly into them—but keep walking west, past the fishing pier (take a moment to look for seals in the water), to Fort Point, the brick Civil War–era fortress guarding the mouth of the Golden Gate. Now look up.
