Release Notes for Release 4.1.4
QAD CSS Version: 4.1.4
Release Date: April, 2005
MFG/PRO Compatibility: MFG/PRO eB2, through SP8 and eB2.1 SP2
A number of significant enhancements are included in this release and may require additional configuration and installation changes depending on your system configuration. The release notes provide an overview of major enhancements. For a list of ECOs included in this release, see the file CSS 4.1.4 ECO List on the product CD.
The following documentation has been updated for this release:
Installation Guide: QAD Customer Self Service (78-0618C)
Administration Guide: QAD Customer Self Service (78-0619B)
Implementation Guide: QAD Customer Self Service (78-0627B)
QAD CSS 4.1.4 includes the following major enhancements:
This release of QAD CSS is fully compatible with the Shared Services Domain eB2.1 release of MFG/PRO. See Integration with MFG/PRO eB2.1 for details. Updates to accommodate multiple domains in the MFG/PRO eB2.1 database have affected the installation steps for QAD CSS and also require that users perform a conversion.
Note: To support MFG/PRO eB2.1 integration, a number of changes have been made to the QAD CSS code base that may affect customizations. Customers with customizations should review the interfaces to procedures in the extension layer to see if any parameters have changed. To update customizations, you may want to contact QAD Services for assistance.
This release includes support for using QAD CSS with an MFG/PRO system that is integrated with Trade Management (TrM). TrM customers must first be set up correctly in QAD CSS; therefore, TrM can be used only for business-to-business (B2B) order processing, not for business-to-consumer (B2C) since B2C lets undefined users order items. In addition, the bonus stock and manual price list features of TrM in sales orders are not supported for orders generated in QAD CSS.
The following combinations of MFG/PRO and TrM versions have been certified:
MFG/PRO eB2 SP8, TrM 2.6 SP1
MFG/PRO eB2.1 SP2, TrM 2.7
See Integration with Trade Management for details.
Important: If you plan to use QAD CSS with TrM, you must also download and install ECO P2YY.
This release includes support for using QAD CSS with an MFG/PRO system that is integrated with European Accounting (EA).
Note: While both EA and TrM integration are supported in this release, only one can be used at a time. MFG/PRO does not currently support using both European Accounting and Trade Management in the same database.
See Integration with European Accounting for details.
A new system registry setting has been added to manage the display of inventory amounts in the product catalog. The runGetWhseQyt setting affects the display of quantity for the default site and for all sites.
See Managing Inventory Display with runGetWhseQty for details.
A new system registry setting has been added to let you choose between the display of promise date or due date in the order summary during check out and in various order-related reports. The showDueOrPromDate setting affects the date display during check out and in the following reports:
Packing Slip Reprint
Order Tracking
Order Summary
Order by Order Report
Order by Item Report
Invoice History Report
A number of changes have been made to QAD CSS to ensure that it properly handles the unavailability of WebSpeed or the MFG/PRO database. This might happen due to network problems or planned backups. For WebSpeed issues, errors are captured and displayed to the user. Details on how to set this up are included in the installation guide.
Note: When the Web server is down, the standard browser error displays indicating the page cannot be found.
When QAD CSS is available but MFG/PRO is not, some functions cannot be used. Users attempting to run most order-related reports will receive an error page, indicating that the report cannot be run and they should try again later. Users can browse the QAD CSS catalog, but they cannot add items to the shopping cart or check out. Either buttons are disabled or appropriate messages display.
Once MFG/PRO is running again, QAD CSS must be shut down and restarted to connect properly.
The uploadFilePath registry setting is no longer used for managing files created during Catalog and Customer Load.
Integration with MFG/PRO eB2.1
QAD CSS is designed so that a single version of QAD CSS can support multiple versions of MFG/PRO using an adapter developed to accommodate the specific requirements of each release. Version 4.1.4 now has an adapter that works with MFG/PRO eB2.1. To accommodate the presence of multiple domains in the eB2.1 database, the concept of data sources has been introduced into QAD CSS.
Note: While QAD CSS can be used with multiple MFG/PRO versions, one instance of QAD CSS can be used with only one version of MFG/PRO at a time. You cannot connect to both MFG/PRO eB2 and eB2.1 databases simultaneously.
A new Data Source Maintenance function has been added to the Administration|System Control menu. Using this program, you can specify which domains in an MFG/PRO eB2.1 database your QAD CSS instance should be able to interact with.
The ability to interact with domains has affected installation and conversion in an MFG/PRO eB2.1 environment. To connect to an eB2.1 database, you must
Set the PROPATH correctly during installation to point to the mfg directory rather than the qad directory.
Specify a valid domain in the MFG/PRO database you are using with QAD CSS. The first data source record is created based on this domain name during installation and is automatically associated with the demo user. This is required for an administrator to log in and set up the system. You can add additional data sources after logging in to the system.
Restart WebSpeed after making these changes.
You can then log in to QAD CSS and create additional data sources as required for your specific implementation.
If you are upgrading to QAD CSS 4.1.4 from an earlier release, all existing users must have an associated data source. This is initially set to the domain supplied during installation. If you are using more than one domain, you will need to manually modify user records after you create the additional data sources.
All items and customers must be associated with a data source. Data source has been added to the Catalog and Customer Load functions so that you can specify which domain to load item and customer records into. In addition, the following programs have been updated to include a field for data source:
Address Maintenance
Item Types Maintenance
Contact Cross-Reference Maintenance
Special Maintenance
Customer Maintenance
User Maintenance
Customer Item Maintenance
Order Archive Report
When a B2B user logs in to QAD CSS, the system knows which domain to access based on the user's associated customer record. In a B2C scenario when a user is undefined, a default domain must be used. This is determined by checking the domain associated with the record specified for the defaultCustomerProfile registry setting. The user's domain determines which items they can view in the catalog. When an administrator logs in, the domain associated with their user ID determines what displays on some of the administrative reports, such as items and customers.
A new system registry setting—QADUDomain—is used to determine the domain to use for the administrative user defined for managing the background integration between QAD CSS and MFG/PRO. In MFG/PRO eB2, two settings are needed: QADUser and QADUPasswd. MFG/PRO eB2.1 databases require the additional QADUDomain setting.
Integration with Trade Management
When TrM is being used with MFG/PRO, items and customers are defined in both MFG/PRO database tables and tables in the TrM database. Customers and items in MFG/PRO are identified as belonging to TrM by having a value for the Promotion Group field. Within TrM, they are further identified by division.
Several changes to the load functions were made to accommodate loading MFG/PRO data with TrM-specific field values:
The Customer Load selection criteria now includes Promo Group so that it is easy to identify and select TrM customers.
The Catalog Load selection criteria now includes Division so that it is easy to identify and select TrM items.
When TrM is activated, QAD CSS now manages the following:
When a user logs in, the system checks to see if the user's associated customer is defined as a TrM customer in MFG/PRO. If so, it stores the value of the customer group, customer promotion group, and division as part of the user's session. It also stores the value of the TrM division currency and uses this rather than the user currency.
When shoppers identified as TrM customers view the product catalog in QAD CSS, they see only items defined for their division in TrM; only TrM items can be viewed, not both TrM and non-TrM. (If a TrM customer belongs to multiple divisions, the first division is used to determine the catalog displayed.)
All pricing calculations are done using TrM price lists both in the catalog and in Sales Order Maintenance. If none are available, the price stored in the customer item detail record is used as with standard MFG/PRO pricing.
The CIM process used to load QAD CSS orders into MFG/PRO has been adjusted for the additional pop-up frames associated with TRM functionality that display in Sales Order Maintenance. Default values are provided so no errors are generated.
Two new e-mail events can be used to display TrM-specific error conditions.
Note: The concept of master customers applies to TrM customers as well as non-TrM customers; a TrM customer can be associated with another TrM master customer and view that customer's items, as long as they both belong to the same division.
Sales Order Processing
Under the following conditions, special TrM processing takes place when a QAD CSS sales order is loaded into MFG/PRO:
Integrate with TrM is Yes in Sales Order Control (7.1.24).
The order sold-to address is a TrM customer, indicated by a value in the Promo Group field in Customer Maintenance (2.1.1).
The order item is defined in TrM by specifying a value for the Promo Group in Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1).
The sold-to address and item belong to a valid TrM division.
The division currency of the sold-to is the same as the order currency.
All items on the sales order belong to the same division.
TrM price lists have been created; otherwise, standard MFG/PRO pricing is used.
In this case, MFG/PRO uses TrM-specific data from the sales order header and line detail to select applicable TrM-generated price lists using the MFG/PRO best pricing logic. Price lists created in MFG/PRO are not considered.
When a sales order is loaded into MFG/PRO with TrM activated, the following processing occurs:
The division defaults from the customer sold-to address.
For B2C customers, the customer division is set to blank so that no special TrM processing can occur.
Bonus Stock is set to No for all TrM transactions.
Two new events have been added to Email Master Maintenance that are generated during processing of TrM orders:
When the currency associated with the TrM division is different from the sales order currency, an error prevents the CIM load and an e-mail event is triggered to notify the customer service representative (CSR).
When a valid exchange rate does not exist during order pricing, a message is sent to the CSR and the system uses the price stored in the QAD CSS customer item detail record (wpro_cust_item).
Event ID
Event Name
Event Status
Send Copy to User
Send Copy to CSR
TRM CIM Order – Error
QAD CSS – Error in TRM Order with Currency
When attempting to create sales order [@orderNum], the TRM division currency [@TRMDivCurr] is different to the sales order currency [@SOCurr].
TRM Exchange Rate – Error
QAD CSS – Error in TRM Pricing with Exchange Rate
The exchange rate to convert from currency [@Curr1] to currency [@Curr2] is missing.
Integration with European Accounting
When European Accounting (EA) is being used, additional information is associated with customers that can affect processing in sales orders and cause new pop-up windows to display. These features are managed by settings in European Accounting Control (26.23) and include:
VAT Registers
Suspended VAT
Correction Invoices
When VAT registers or suspended VAT is enabled, pop-ups display in Customer Maintenance. These affect the way B2C customers are created in MFG/PRO. Since these customers are created in the background, default values must be provided for the EA fields:
The value for VAT register is derived using Global Tax Management (GTM) data for the ship-from address and the ship-to address.
The values for the bank and payment method required by EA are derived from European Accounting Control.
The value for operation code is determined by the value specified for the customer record defined as the defaultCustomerProfile registry setting.
If Use Suspended VAT is Yes in European Accounting Control, the value for a new B2C customer is set to No by default.
Sales Order Processing
Special processing takes place when a QAD CSS sales order is loaded into MFG/PRO and European Accounting is installed:
The system checks the value of Use Correction Invoices in European Accounting Control. If this is Yes, it sets the value of Original Invoice to blank so that the new sales order is created as a normal order.
If Use Suspended VAT is Yes in European Accounting Control, the value for Suspended VAT on the order defaults from the customer sold-to address.
If VAT Registers is Yes in European Accounting Control, the values for VAT register and operation code default from the customer sold-to address.
Note: All taxable lines added to the order must have the same VAT register assigned to their associated tax environment or an error is generated. A new message has been added to the system (EX013) to accommodate this situation.
Managing Inventory Display with runGetWhseQty
You can use the new runGetWhseQty registry setting to determine how inventory availability displays in the catalog.
Note: To see these fields in the product catalog, they must be marked for display in Item Layout Maintenance.
The setting of runGetWhseQty has three possible values:
Off: Do not perform any calculation. Even if the quantity available has been marked to display in Item Layout Maintenance, no value displays on the screen.
Qty: Check the value of the runGetAllWhseQty and runGetDefWhseQty settings and display the quantity available based on those settings.
Text: Check the value of the runGetAllWhseQty and runGetDefWhseQty and display the text contained in one of two configurable messages, indicating that stock is available or unavailable.
When runGetWhseQty is set to Qty or Text, two other registry settings determine how the quantity available is determined. The values of runGetAllWhseQty and runGetDefWhseQty determine if these quantities are found in MFG/PRO or read from values stored in the QAD CSS customer item master (wpro_cust_item) table. In QAD CSS, whsQty is read for the default site and the totQty for all sites.
The messages that define the text displayed when the value of runGetWhseQty is Text are defined in Error Message Maintenance:
OP000244 displays when zero or less quantity is available at the default site or in all sites. The text of this message is currently set to Out of Stock, but you can modify it to meet your own requirements. The message text can also display the value of the symbol [@QtyAvail] when it is included.
OP000245 displays when a quantity greater than zero is available at the default site or in all sites. The text of this message is currently set to Available, but you can modify it to meet your own requirements. The message text can also display the value of the symbol [@QtyAvail] when it is included.
The combination of these three registry settings provides great flexibility in how you manage and display availability in the catalog. Here are some possible options:
If you do not want to display availability information, turn off the display in Item Layout Maintenance and set runGetWhseQty to Off. This optimizes performance when quantity information is not relevant.
To display full quantities for each item based on information from MFG/PRO, turn on the field display in Item Layout Maintenance, set appropriate side labels for the fields, set runGetWhseQty to Qty, and set both runGetDefWhseQty and runGetAllWhseQty to Yes.
To display a message based on availability information from MFG/PRO, choose which inventory to check: either default site or all sites. Then, turn on display for that field only in Item Layout Maintenance, leave the side label blank, set runGetWhseQty to Text, and set either runGetDefWhseQty or runGetAllWhseQty to Yes. The message Available displays when a quantity is available; otherwise, Out of Stock displays. These messages can be modified in Error Message Maintenance.
To just display a different message—such as Call for availability—for every item in the catalog, turn on the display for default site quantity in Item Layout Maintenance, leave the side label blank, set runGetWhseQty to Text, set runGetDefWhseQty and runGetAllWhseQty to No. Then change both message Op000244 and Op000245 to "Call for availability" in Error Message Maintenance.
To always display the quantity based on information maintained in QAD CSS (not MFG/PRO), turn on display for either the default site or all sites in Item Layout Maintenance, set appropriate side labels, set runGetWhseQty to Qty, and set both runGetDefWhseQty and runGetAllWhseQty to No.
Note: The catalog design applies to the entire catalog; you cannot set the display for individual items.

The English Empire
Lord Douglas Maines shook his head as he looked at the map on his wall, the red of england staining the map, but not enough to this proud man. Having just been named the Speaker of the House of Commons, Henry was just too busy conquering to administer the country properly, and so had called on the populace to vote for who they had wanted to represent them. Henry called it a parliment, Douglas called it madness.
But it was a madness he was in control of, he could shout down the prime minister if things got too out of hand. It was the first meeting of the house this morning and already Douglas had some dire news, the scots were invading in the north, this threatened to spoil englands plans he thought as he stepped into the main chamber of the House.
"Order, Order!!!" he shouted above the din, the Labour Chancellor Sir Charles Xavier Numbnuts had just been telling an obviously fanciful story of a fellow he claimed to have known, someone called "Bob", but never "Bobby", Death. The house was in uproar, some laughing some very offended by this tale of ethiopia being a world power, when could this happen was the question most asked, but when the gavel came down silence reigned supreme.
"Gentlemen, please, we are here to start the running of the country, not to listen to fanciful stories, i see the prime minister hasnt returned from that trip to the loo, oh well we will have to start without him, but this sets a bad example for the rest of your party Sir Charles. See that you dont ruin it even further."
"Now to business, we have many a thing to get through, and probably not enough time to do half the load. First of all gentlemen could i divert your attention to the leaflets now being handed out to each of you, i want you to pay attention to this one."
Englands Diplomatic Relations
"The Situation is thus, we are at war with mainland france, and all her petty vasals, but we just recieved word this morning that the scots have taken up arms against us and are now marching onto northumberland!!! An army under Beuchamp has marched to meet them but Henry is requesting more troops on the continent and these could be used there to greater effect he thinks."
"But do not despair because Brittany and Burgandy march with us in this rightous course to put Henry upon the throne of france where he belongs by bloodright. Henry is in Caux at the moment with his trusted general Bedford by his side, surely with that force nothing can stop them."
At that moment a messenger ran into the room and handed a few sheafs of letters into the Speakers hands. He read them silently his face showing no expression as he turned to face the House again.
"Gentlemen it seems we have a rift developing in our command structure. If these letters are to be believed, and i have no doubt as they carry the royal seal then Henry and Bedford are arguing where to go next."
"Henry wishes to attack Paris itself hoping that by taking this marvelous city it would show the power of the english to the lesser french vassals and thus make them submit to our will. Bedford on the other hand wishes to attack Orleans to whittle down the french support one vassal at a time. As they cannot agree they have appealed to us, as the nations administrators to sort this mess out."
"Also General Gloucester is in southern france already and wishes to advance even further to claim lands for the crown, he sees no french forces in sight but still asks for our guidence. What say you men of parliment???"

Wind River® Simics is a smarter way to develop software, based on simulation of your full system. Working independently of hardware, you can decouple activities, break dependencies, and work concurrently, producing results at velocities simply impossible with physical systems.
Make swift work of everything you do.
Simics makes it easy to experiment with different hardware setups, software applications, and platform configurations to validate assumptions before committing to system design. Test the way your software behaves and scales by varying memory size, core count, processor speed, and number of boards in a network, in any variation of circumstances. And run software setups from various generations on different hardware to ensure that the old works with the new as it should.
Run your software on the virtual system just as it would run on the physical system, without the limitations of physical systems. With Simics, the software binaries you run on the virtual system are the same you'll run on the real target—and all developers can run them from the very start. You can also integrate the real software running on a virtual target with hardware-in-the-loop and simulation-in-the-loop setups. Simics can interface to the real world as well as to virtual worlds, allowing software to be tested and run in virtually real setups.
Simics allows software development, QA, and integration to start earlier and progress concurrently. Develop and test individual pieces of the system on the fly, avoiding a risky "big-bang" integration phase at the end. Automate your complete test environment, with unlimited numbers of target systems to run tests in parallel. And run automated nightly builds that test the latest check-ins, with complete reports in the morning.
Simics also allows you to easily test error handling and fault recovery code, using fault injection to affect arbitrary parts of the hardware (and sometimes software) state with perfect precision and with no risk of breaking expensive hardware. With Simics, you can easily test system parts that are otherwise almost impossible to test at all.
Simics makes problem isolation and analysis much more efficient. Debug all your software (including BIOS, drivers, low-level software, and OS-level code) without access to hardware and with perfect control over the virtual target. Start, stop, single-step, and reverse the system to find out exactly where and why it breaks—and email the resulting setup and analysis to colleagues around the globe. With Simics' determinism you have perfect repeatability—you know that issues found on the virtual target can be repeated any time, anywhere.
Use the scripting and programmability of Simics to automate bug detection. The Simics debugger debugs an entire target system as a unit, including all levels of the software stack and even multiple OS instances and boards. And with Simics' OS awareness you can debug individual user space applications alongside the OS, hypervisor, and BIOS.
Many application developers use substitutes for their software development, debugging, and testing tasks because of bad experiences using target hardware. Since they then use a different toolchain and run their code on a different architecture, many problems do not appear until the code is compiled for the real target and integrated onto the target system. Because this activity occurs late in the development process, problems found at this stage can have huge repercussions on the overall schedule and product reliability. With Simics, application developers can use the real target from the start, with the same toolchain, libraries, operating system API, and operating system behavior. With virtual targets there is no lack of hardware access, no managing of complex configuration and different setups, no flaky hardware not working, and no expensive shipping of hardware.
Use a Simics Quick Start Platform to equip application developers with a target of the right architecture and operating system long before the actual target hardware has been designed, developed, and manufactured.
Enable your product users with virtual systems in all phases of the product lifecycle. For example, a semiconductor vendor can seed its customers with early access to a new chip, far in advance of prototype silicon. An internal development group can provide platform integrators and application development teams with virtual boards while the real board is being designed. Partner companies working on different parts of a program can share a common system for development. Operations teams in sales, customer satisfaction, partner enablement, and training can get huge boosts by deploying simulated hardware to their teams. Sales can demonstrate new products before they are available to shrink the gap between product release and revenue. And with simulated hardware, training is no longer limited by the expense constraints of physical hardware, making it possible to train more people, faster.
With Simics, a target system setup is just software, so you can control almost any parameter of the target system using scripts and Simics modules—from simple things, such as the MAC address of a board, to the more complex, such as particular software loaded on a certain board when it is inserted into a certain position of a backplane. Simics uses a programmatic model for configuring systems, making it easy to vary configurations under script control. And configurations work the same today as they will tomorrow—anywhere in the world.
Easily store multiple configurations of the system with instant recall of any setup. Set up with an infinite supply of boards, and with no need to physically visit the lab to change configurations. And use the System Editor to inspect and interactively change setups during a run.
Keep a virtual version of in-field systems up to date for testing hardware and software updates, making modifications, and upgrading products. Customer service can have every customer configuration at its fingertips to effortlessly reproduce errors and solve customer issues.
Simics makes it possible to consider the system's hardware, software, current state, and execution history as a single unit that can be copied, communicated, and replicated with ease by anyone on the team, anywhere in the world. With Simics, communication between development, test, integration, support, and sustain teams is effortless.
Simics assets such as device models, target configurations, system setups, automation scripts, checkpoints, traffic recordings, and debug configurations are all designed to be shared between users and teams. Metadata can be added in the form of user-editable comments, documentation strings, or time-stamped notes during the system execution to help the recipient of a setup understand how the current state was created.
Platform development teams can build, configure, and boot complete platform setups and distribute them to all developers so they always have the latest setup. And when a QA team observes test failures, it can use Simics checkpoints and determinism to reliably repeat the failing test cases on the developer's machine—with cycle-perfect precision and guaranteed success.

Dark Ages
Dark Ages Overview
Dark Ages is the second MMORPG to be released by Nexon offshoot KRU Interactive with the first being Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds. The game first appeared on the scene in 1999 and is based loosely on Celtic mythology and the works of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. The visuals are similar to those of SNES era RPGs and have not aged particularly well. The interface, especially character movement, feel rough but old school gamers may experience nostalgia while playing Dark Ages. The game places a strong emphasis on player involvement by allowing players to help administer the world through a political system broken into Judicial and Legislative branches. There are five classes in the game and they are:
Warrior - Masters of physical force. Warriors have access to the most weapons and armor.
Wizard - Ranged spellcasters who wear weak armor. Wizards can enchant items.
Priest - Supportive class capable of healing, buffing, and enchanting allies.
Rogue - Indirect combatants who rely on speed and cunning. Rogues lay traps, can hide, polish gems, and unlock chests.
Monk - Practitioners of the martial arts. Monks mainly use their hands and feet in combat and are capable of transforming into animals.

Every year, drought-withered Botswana receives the gift of life. Rain that fell three months ago and 500 miles (800s kilometers) away in the highlands of Angola snakes down the Okavango River and overflows into the Okavango Delta, filling channels like this serpentine offshoot and inundating the floodplain.

Vueling Adds African Destinations from Barcelona22/01/2015 13:52:42
For the sixth consecutive year, Vueling will launch services to several new destinations from Barcelona's El Prat airport, and this year Africa is a new growth area. Starting on 20 June, Vueling will directly operate regular flights to Rabat in Morocco, Yerba in Tunisia, and Accra, Ghana. The new routes are expected to help meet demand especially from customers at Vueling's European destinations in the UK and Scandinavia, who can benefit from easy connections via Barcelona to these African cities.
New Service Lets Vueling Customers use App to Switch to Earlier Flight19/01/2015 12:36:47
Vueling's app for iOS and Android handsets now allows customers to find and book an available seat on an earlier flight in just a few seconds, with the "Bring your flight forward" feature. The service is intended to meet the demands especially of business travellers whose schedules are constantly changing. There is no charge for switching to an earlier flight, though the flight must depart on the same day as the one initially booked, and the offer is confined to tickets purchased with the Óptima fare (reserved seat and one suitcase included) or the Excellence fare (all business class privileges, including maximum flexibility).
Vueling is World's First Airline to Use Contactless Technology in its Payment Process App23/12/2014 12:59:26
Vueling once again leads the pack in technological innovation, become the first airline in the world to implement contactless systems for paying with cell phones. On its app the pioneering Barcelona-based airline has deployed two revolutionary systems —Near Field Communication (NFC), and Scanning— to enable users to automatically enter their personal and credit card data during the purchase process. The two systems are available for telephones using the Android operating system. For security's sake they are enabled only to fill in the data, but not to complete the purchase. A version for the Apple iOS is initially confined to storing credit card data which can be retrieved only upon detection of the user's fingerprint when needed for a purchase.
Vueling and Qatar Airways signed an interline agreement that will boost flight options at Barcelona – El Prat18/11/2014 15:13:08
El Prat's leading airline consolidates its position and bolsters trans-European traffic. This partnership is the first between the two airlines and follows Qatar's incorporation into oneworld alliance in 2013. Barcelona, September 19th, 2014–. Vueling and Qatar Airways have signed an interline agreement that will enable Qatar's premier airline to increase the number of passengers to Europe, as well as strengthen Vueling's Barcelona hub and boost trans-European traffic thanks to long-haul connections. El Prat airport is Vueling's main hub where the Spanish company has 38% market share, with direct flights to 130 destinations and up to 11,000 connections across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
British Airways customers will have access to new destinations and scores more routes when the airline adds its flight code to more than 170 Vueling services18/11/2014 15:02:28
British Airways customers will be able to book Vueling flights through all BA sales channels, including ba.com, and collect Avios on these bookings. The codeshare routes are largely centred on Vueling's operation in Italy with 37 international and 11 domestic routes. These include the destinations, new to BA customers, of Catania, Palermo, Bari, Genoa, Turin, Lamezia, Alicante, Amsterdam, Athens, Munich or Dubrovnik. Other new routes on offer through the codeshare include Heathrow to Bilbao and La Coruña, Cardiff to Malaga and Alicante, and Edinburgh to Barcelona. Tickets for the codeshare routes go on sale from 17 June for travel from 24 June, 2014.

Cursed Queen of Angmar, The
40. The Captive Queen
"Has she awakened?"
Ariashal's heart froze. She knew that voice. Closing her eyes even more tightly, she was determined not to let them know that she could hear them; they might let some important information slip. Above all, she must learn the fate of her King.
"Not yet." That was one of the Elves; she recognized the voice of her attacker all too well.
"And the other?"
"We were able to get what you demanded, but we did not try for his head. We feared the arrival of the guards, and while we had already killed many of them, we did not wish to be slaughtered."
"Very well. Awaken her. I have much to ask."
"Echui!" ordered the Elf.
Obediently Ariashal opened her eyes. Her head still throbbed from the blow, but she forced herself to look up.
She was in a cave, or, rather, a cave that had been roughly hewn into something approaching a square. In front of her was an old, battered wood table; from the carving on the legs she recognized as having once been at the Keep. A lone candle-lamp burned atop it, its flickering light casting weird shadows across the stone.
They had tied her hands behind her, and bound her feet as well. Someone had also taken the precaution of tying her to a hard wooden chair. Whoever the King's attackers were, they wanted her alive and unable to flee.
Behind her she could barely make out more whispered conversation. The Elves, it must be the Elves; she could catch a few words and phrases as they spoke. She could not get enough of their tongue to know exactly what they were planning for her, but she knew it would not be good.
Someone else was coming; footsteps echoed on rock. Who was it? They had tied her in such as way theat she was unable to turn and face her attackers. It was probably just as well--she would spit and lunge at them, bite them if she could.
"You may go," said the all-too-familiar voice. "Your reward awaits you."
From the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a hooded cloak, sword, boots. The man kept his face from her, even after he had taken his seat.
"So." The man bent towards her. "I have slain the Witch-King, and the flower of Rhudaur has returned to her master."
She looked up at her captor.
"Ferion?" she shouted. "You? You could never slay him! No man could slay him!"
"It was not I who fired the fatal shot, Ariashal. That was the Elves' doing. That, and this." He laid a plain arrow on the table, its head glinting dully in the light. "I found a smith in Cardolan willing to make weapons for me. Weapons empowered with one thing only: to slay the Nazgul. And I must say they worked better than I had hoped."
She stared at the arrow. It was a simple thing, an arrow like any other, with shaft, fletching and head; and yet this same simple thing had destroyed her life, shattered her family, stolen her lord from her.
"I was pleased to see you had taken an interest in our old grotto," continued Ferion. "Did you think I had forgotten our old amusements? I hoped that, once you started to repair it, you would eventually bring your family there as well. And I was right. My spies watched you and your husband with the children. I was beginning to believe that you would never get him there alone."
Herumor! They did not know about Herumor, and they must never know of Herumor, for while he lived he would protect the children. She managed to keep from speaking.
"When they told me that you were there alone with him, I knew it was my chance." Smirking, he retrieved the arrow. "It was very kind of you to get him to disrobe for us. That mithril shirt would have never been pierced."
Desperate, she grasped at the last bit of hope she had. "I do not believe you. I do not believe that you have slain him!"
"No?" He stood. "And what do you make of this?"
Triumphantly he opened his hand and let something fall to the table.
The black opal ring.
Ariashal fought to breathe. It seemed as though her heart and lungs had ceased to work; she could draw no air. He was dead, her lord was truly dead. All strength left her. If not for the rope she would have collapsed onto the floor.
"I have his armor and sword, too, if you would like to see them. That mithril shirt will do well for me."
"Ferion," she whispered, her voice breaking, "why? Why have you done this?"
"Why?" He scooped up the ring. "That thing you called husband was the most evil creature in all of Middle-Earth! His destruction assures that Rhudaur will again know its rightful King."
"Rightful king?" She managed to find her voice. "Rightful King? After what you had done to the land? How can you call yourself king? It was you who let the kingdom collapse into poverty and ruin! The King has worked hard to right that wrong!"
"What wrong? I am King of Rhudaur. I rule the land as I see fit."
"King? The only reason you are King is because you murdered our father!"
"What makes you think that? He was old and sick. It was his time to die."
"And my husband?" she demanded. "Was he old and sick as well?"
"You do not understand what you are saying." Ferion toyed with the ring. "By slaying the Nazgul we have rid Middle Earth of the last of its evils."
"Rid? How can you say that? Sauron lives still!"
"You lie!" Setting the ring down, he strolled towards her. "The Nazgul poisoned your mind. You would believe whatever he told you, no matter how baseless."
"He never lied to me."
"And you believe that?" Ferion laughed. The ugly sound echoed harshly on the rock. "You sincerely believe that, after thousands of years of corruption, he became pure and good in your arms? If that is so, then we must use your charms on more men! And your charms, my sister, are quite worthy."
Horrified, she realized that all she had on was the thin chemise she had worn into the pool. Torn and dirty, it exposed more of her than she wanted. Vainly she tried to cover herself.
Eyes narrowed, he studied her closely. "Yes, my fair sister, your husband did a fine job of preserving your beauty. No one would ever know that you had borne children. Look at me! He has kept your face young, too. Tis a pity you are my sister. I think I would much like having you."
"Filthy swine!" She managed to jerk the chair away from him. "Leave me alone!"
"Why? You are mine now, to do with what I will."
"You slaughtered my husband so that you might have me?"
"No." Ferion bent over her. "No, I had him killed so that I might regain my kingdom. But now that I see you--now that I see what you have become--why not? Turin Dragonslayer took his sister to wife."
"To the destruction of both!" Frantic, she forced the chair to lurch aside. "Let me go!"
"Go? Go where? You are here now, with me. No one will ever know if I do not wish them to know."
"You cannot keep me here! My son will find me and punish you!"
"Your son? He is lucky to be alive. I gave orders for the Nazgul's spawn to die."
"So it was not enough for you to kill my husband," she hissed. "You wanted my children dead too!"
"Of course, Ariashal. They are a threat while they live." He strolled towards the table. "Now, though, that threat is lessened. Without their father to instruct them, they are far more malleable. They can be trusted to return to Carn Dum, where they can rule their frozen city."
"So you will let them leave?"
"There is no longer any profit in their demise. So yes, they will go home. But my grandchildren will be returned to me."
"You? You neglected them! They were filthy and starving when they came to us!"
"Your husband forced that upon us."
"And I suppose he also forced you to dine off gold!"
Ferion stopped. "You are beginning to annoy me, sister. You are no longer in a position to say or do anything. I will have word sent to the Keep, and tomorrow we will meet with that steward of your late husband. We will make a treaty then."
"He will want proof that I am well."
"And proof he will have. I will bring you with me, to show that you are unharmed. And for your sake, you had best be in good spirits."
"Then you had best free me!"
"Free you?" Leering, he sauntered over to her. "Oh, you will be free. I will put you in a room where you will be free to walk and sleep."
"And if I should escape?"
He laughed again. "You think you will escape? Consider that these caves are full of men, my fair sister. And they are not all as particular as I am."
Someone was coming. Ferion dragged Ariashal's chair back, so that she could not see the new arrival.
"My Lord." The voice was hard, with a touch of sinister mirth.
Ariashal managed to turn her head. She caught a glimpse of a brown tunic, lightly spattered with fresh blood.
"Yes?" demanded Ferion.
"The Elves have been--rewarded."
"Very good. My fair sister has been expressing her delight at her rescue."
"Is that so." He shifted closer. His heavy beard reeked of cheap ale. "Pretty girl, ain't she?"
"Oh, yes, very much so. And she will be staying with us. Has her room been made ready?"
"Yes." He snickered.
"Very good. I will be guiding her there shortly. I expect that she will wish to dine alone with me tonight. She has had a trying day. You may go now."
"All right." The man withdrew, whistling as he left.
"Listen to me." Ferion bent over her. "I do not wish to put you on display for all the men to see. I will cover you with my cloak to bring you to your room. Once there, you will stay inside until I come for you. You will not scream, or try to escape. Not that you would get very far," he added. "The Hillmen have been without their women for a long time, and you, my sweet sister, are far finer than any woman they know."
Ariashal sat still while her brother cut her free. She said nothing as he draped his cloak over her, did not move while he pulled the hood over her face. When he ushered her out of the room, she walked quietly.
He led her into a large, natural cavern room, where many men had spread out bedrolls to make a crude barracks. Weapons were stacked along one wall, blades and bows alike; quivers of arrows were stowed in a heap. Several lanterns and torches were hung around the walls, their yellow light lost in the upper reaches of the cave. A few iron braziers were alight, glowing hellishly red in the gloom.
Ariashal stopped.
Was she not Queen? These men were her subjects, were they not? These were her soldiers to command, not Ferion the traitor's. For a moment she considered tossing aside the hood, revealing herself to them, commanding them to obey their Queen. And they would have no choice but to follow her, for she was their rightful ruler. She would be Regent, now, ruling in Imrahil's name; but she was still Queen.
A sudden burst of laughter and swearing caught her attention. Some of the men had been gambling, and their game had just broken up. The sight of the sweaty, filthy, heavily-bearded Hillmen jolted her back to reality. She might be Queen, but in here she would be nothing more to them than a rough tumble, to be used quickly and handed over to the next man in line. Ariashal lowered her head and followed Ferion from the room.
He led her through some narrow passages, past a room where some men seemed to be preparing food, down a steep incline, and finally into a small chamber. Its sole occupant, an elderly, one-eyed man, lurched to his feet as they approached.
"This is our new prisoner," explained Ferion. "No one is to bother him in any way. I alone will speak to him. Do you understand?"
Curious, the old man eyed Ariashal. "Did you say 'him', sir?"
"Yes, fool! Ask again and you will lose that other eye."
The old man shambled backwards, finally dropping to his chair.
"Come along," ordered Ferion.
Ariashal could make out a rough corridor, could just see a row of four doors leading off into the darkness. How many more there might be, she could not tell. Ferion took her to the second room and pushed her inside.
This was, indeed, a cell. A small lantern hung from the ceiling, its cheerless light illuminating an old cot, some blankets, and a small bucket. On the cot was a basket with some apples, a chunk of bread, and a leather-wrapped bottle. The room itself was only slightly longer than the cot, and perhaps twice as wide.
"You will stay here," said Ferion, his hands on her shoulders. "There is some food for you, and water. I will come for you when I have to go to see Adzuphel, that steward of yours. I think you know better than to try to escape, but I will lock you in anyway. Oh, and one more thing."
"My cloak." He roughly pulled it off her, tearing her dress even more severely. "Good night."
She listened as the door closed behind her, as the key turned in the lock, as his footsteps faded away. For a moment she stood still, until the full horror of what had happened crushed onto her. Shaking, sobbing, she collapsed onto the cot and cried.

Potatoes au Gratin
I was pretty busy on the weekend and I wanted a simple side for my ham dinner that did not require much hands on time. I was thinking that simple cheesy potatoes au gratin would fit the bill perfectly. The potato gratin only required a bit of work to assemble and then it went into the oven along with the ham for the last 30 minutes or so. It was pretty much a fix it, pop it in the oven and forget it dish. Not only was it simple to make but it also turned out great! It is really hard to beat warm potato slices drenched in cream and covered in melted cheese. I had been planning on giving it a crunchy panko bread crumb topping but I realized too late that I was out of the bread crumbs. I got the enjoy the perfectly burnt cheese topping instead this time. Now that I have some ham leftovers I think I am going to have to make another potato au gratin but this time with some chopped up ham in it.
Potatoes au Gratin(makes 4+ side dish servings)
Printable Recipe
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound potatoes (pealed and sliced thinly)
1/2 cup gruyere (grated)
1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (grated)
1 tablespoon thyme (chopped)
1/4 cup bread crumbs (optional)
1. Heat the cream, milk, garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a sauce pan stopping before it boils.
2. Place a layer of the potatoes on the bottom of a greased 8 inch square baking dish.
3. Pour some of the sauce over the potatoes to coat along with some cheese and thyme
4. Repeat 2 and 3 until you are out of potatoes ending with a layer of cream topped with cheese and thyme.
5. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top.
6. Bake in a preheated 325F oven until the sides are bubbling and the top is golden brown, about 30-45 minutes.

If we have a scout who is thinking of joining and comes with a member, we give him about three meetings and then tell him you have to register and pay your dues, or stop coming. He can't just keep coming to meetings forever. As much as we like, we are not a social club.
And how was the Internet Advancement used, since you have to load your unit roster each time you use it. If he's not registered, he's not on the council's unit roster.
How can one "earn" one of the highest awards of an Organization without being a member of the organization?
"Mrs.Smith? Billy? Glad you could meet with us. Here, have a seat. Perhaps you know Jack Jones? He's our Charter Rep for the Upper Mudflat Church, and I think you know Fred Fergy our Scoutmaster and Jocylin Jockeson our Committee Chair.
"Good to see you, Billy, Billy? Oh yes you did, you attended Sticky Swamp Camp with the Troop. Did the First Class Trail with the Roadkill Patrol, right? yeah, I was there that year. Haha, yeah, that was fun...you earned your Lifeguard last year, didn't you?
"Well, Mrs. Smith , We have accepted your reluctance to register Billy as a Scout these last three years, but we really wanted to help Billy get the most out his Scout time so as he passed his Scout rank requirements, you realize we were "carrying" him all these years.
"Umm? Oh sure, we kept paper copies of all his records, but since you refused to register Billy as a Scout, they were never sent in to the Council office, so the only folks that know about this are you and us here.
"No, he was never a Scout anywhere except here at Upper Mudflat. That's the way you wanted it, so that's the way we held it. It did puzzle alot of us Scout people, but, the boys enjoyed Billy and he was an asset to his Patrol.
"Now, you've come to us and asked if Billy can be presented with the Eagle rank. We have talked together and come to the conclusion that, yes, he has fulfilled all the requirements. Almost. Theoretically.
"Well, I say that because one of the requirements is to "be a Scout". And , frankly, Billy has never BEEN a Scout. Oh, he played at being a Scout, but since he was never...
"No, that isn't true. We spoke about that many times, last month, in fact. We've spoken with the leadership at Council and National and they are all in agreement that since he has never been officially registered...
"We understand that, but you see, that was YOUR decision and you must admit we never pressed you for a reason, did we?
"Now, please hear us out. We want to be fair to Billy, and recognize his efforts and success. Council office has said that with the records we have, we can back date his membership and validate Billy's ranks and MeritBadges and his project. With the backdated, recreated records, we can go forward with the application for his Eagle.
"That's right, I said application. The National office approves all Eagle Scout applications. No, it certainly is not up to us. It may seem that way to you, but this is the only way it will work.
"So , here's what has to happen: You fillout this application and put in this date. Yes, that's three years ago, that's when you first started attending the Troop, we are estimating. And a check for $240 so that..... Yes, that's what I said. That's three years dues. Well, he didn't sell popcorn or participate in the wreath sales, did he? No, we never require anyboy to unless they want to. He did? I'm sorry to hear that. We have no record of any sales by him. He didn't have a Scout account.
"I see.
" No, there is no other way to clear things up. Us local folks do not award the Eagle rank , National does, and they won't do that without Billy being an Oh-Fish-All Scout. Billy, maybe you and your mom need to talk about this.
" Any other questions? Well, I guess that's about it. Billy, will you be on the overnight on the 12th? Ok, I understand. When you and your mom figure things out, we look forward to talking to you again.
"Good luck , Billy. Thank you Mrs. Smith. Goodnight."
SSScout's satire brings up an interesting question: If "not a Scout" went camping and all that, I trust he is not, and was not, covered by an BSA insurance. What a risk for the troop!!!!
I would run screaming from the troop. Plenty of scout spirit, psssst, sounds like a legal nightmare.....
While I understand and appreciate the boys need for scouting, He should have never earned Scout let alone Eagle. We have a policy of one month of meetings and one outing without an application.
First, how old is the boy? if he is 13 or 14 no big deal just get him signed up.....Let him earn the ranks legitimately.
I just sit here shaking my head, Some local BSA units are train wrecks.

Sounds like the council was more than accomodating (the offer to back register him). If the Mom isn't willing to do that, well, I feel sorry for the son.
Eagle92 - No offense taken. I fully understand where you are coming from and I know the requirements very well. You are right. I'm just answering this from the drastically broken situation that it is. Both the unit leaders and the mom screwed up on this. I really think that many adults newly introduced to the BSA program don't realize how formal and detailed the requirements, process and record keeping can be. Heck, it can take many years to get up to speed on BSA requirements. So unit leaders focus on running and doing the best they can.
So here is a case where we have a youth being damaged by an over-protective mother and unit leaders who tried to do a good deed.
How do you make the situation whole?
--- #1 Recognize that you can't make the situation whole. Ultimately, the boy is not a scout, never has been and thus can't become an Eale scout ever. Perhaps the council SE or BSA national might be more flexible. Let them decide that.
--- #2 Work with the mother, scout AND THE UNIT LEADERS so they fully understand the situation. Essentially that all advancement recognition is from BSA national. Anything else is unofficial. Make sure that the scout knows that he won't ever be able to prove he was in scouts or that he earned any of the achievements that he might claim.
--- #3 I'd finish the course started with this youth. He should be proud of his achievements. Give him "unofficial" recognition as an Eagle scout and move on. Just do something to recognize him. That's the path his mother and the unit leaders brought him down. Now finish the path.
And never let a situation like this occur again. The sad part is there is no way this youth can claim to be an Eagle scout. The best you can do is help him understand so that he can explain the situation cleanly to others for the next seventy years.
"Unofficial Eagle" is a terrible, terrible idea, Fred.
I do like your last thought, however. How about "Your mother has made the decision not to register you as a member of the Boy Scouts therefore you cannot be an Eagle Scout. Both the troop and council have offered to do everything we can to fix this and try to get you the award but your mother said no. "
It's really hard to fix stupid.

Yeah .... I tend to agree it's not the best idea, but it's in line with what has happened so far and it works to smoothly close the door. It's unofficial and everyone knows it. Perhaps instead of calling it "Eagle Scout", call it the "Spirit of the Eagle" award. Doesn't really matter what it is called as it's unofficial and such.
The end all is that there is nothing that can be done to fix the situation.
What can be done is to find a way to recognize the youth and make him proud and glad for the time he has been in scouts. It sounds like he has learned and benefitted from scouts. Hopefully, he will do the same for his own kids ... and also register them.
How about: "Your mom was an idiot and cost you a wonderful award so after four years of work you have nothing to show for it" Award
To give the kids ANYTHING -- unless he joins, pays back dues and goes throught he process -- is a mockery of all those other hard working kids who work their butts off every week to actually follow the rules.
At some point in this country we have to try to stop fixing people being stupid and let the consequences fall where they may. Otherwise we will be wiping this guys butt for the next 30 years or more. No thanks! No Eagle. Move on.
Agree with Krampus a million-fold!!!! No registration, no advancement. If this is not a written policy in your troop, make it one NOW (NEVER assume everyone will just automatically "know" this--case in point: this mom didn't.) No tickee, no washee. As for the current situation, if the council wants to finagle this: fine. It's out of the troop's hands at this point.

Yeah, I must disent though. While Krampus may have successfully wiped himself for 30+ years, it is cold hearted bad advice that adds more damage to an already bad situation. Of course the unit on it's own can't give the "scout" official advancement. The council/BSA needs to fix that. But that's only part of the problem.
The problem is that the "scout" is many years down a scouting path and has effectively completed it. AND the problem is only partially the mom's fault. Even more at fault are the unit leaders who are supposed to know the program, know the rules and know what will happen when you have a youth participate for years without registering. It might be a fun fantasy to be the hard a##, but that is almost always bad advice. AND I fear someone would actually take that advice. Would you really tell the scout: "Your mom was an idiot .... ????" If you did that, the only thing you end up creating is a kid with a grudge against mom and against scouting. Not only that, but you take a kid who has achieved and slap him in the face and only focus on the negative. *** AND *** you might as well continue at that point and say that all the previous unit leaders were morons too as they were in the same boat and they were the captains of the ship and running the tiller. ... But it doesn't help anyone and as such it's not real practical advice.
The original poster is now representing the unit that led the scout youth astray and has responsibility to participate in fixing the situation. I'll leave it to the SE, council, BSA to figure out if they want to go so far as to formally credit and recognize the scout. There is not enough info to judge that here and the poster doesn't have authority to decide that.
The key is that we are supposed to be teaching leadership, character, citizenship, etc. To have led someone and treated them as a scout and taken them thru the advancement program FOR MANY YEARS and then only at the end draw a hard line is completely wrong. We are not the guy yelling: No Soup For You.
Find a way to recognize the scout that is on par with what he achieved and don't dimminish his achievement because of adult screw ups. It is sad that it will probably be unofficial due to his mom and his unit leaders. That is already unfair enough. Don't damage the youth / scout any more.

If sitting on your butt was an Olympic sport, my wife would be a Gold Medalist
Fred, I think we all agree that we try to fix the situation. But that fix is to register, pay the back dues and complete all the paperwork that makes you a legitimate Scout. Barring that being done ANY other action is against BSA policy and is an insult to the kids and adults who DO follow the process. Of course no one is going to tell him his mom (and previous troop leaders) were clueless and caused this issue. But Eagle cannot be handed out unless process and rules are followed. To do otherwise sends the message of "Don't worry about the rules, Timmy. Someone will always fix it for you." At some point we have to draw the line.
The mom is being unreasonable. I was never in Boy Scouts as a lad but I could have completed each and every requirement on my own somehow up to Eagle and while that might make me "good as a boy scout" I would be neither a Boy Scout or Eagle. What kind of lesson is this lady teaching? How are they gonna handle College applications?
Agree this is up to the SE to fix.
