EXCLUSIVE: Captain Marvel, Sam Wilson & More Celebrate Fourth of July with Marvel Games
Video Games
Action Comics is quickly becoming a fan favorite since the creative team of writer Greg Pak and artist Aaron Kuder boarded the series. With the release last week of Action Comics #27, it seemed like a good time to interview Kuder and get him to explain how his experience as a budding electrician had an influence on Lana Lang's current career choice of electrical engineering.
Last year writer/artist Jane Irwin executed a successful Kickstarter for Clockwork Game: The Illustrious Career of a Chess-Playing Automaton, a historical fiction graphic novel. I was curious to learn about her experience in getting the project successfully funded, and she was kind enough to answer my questions in this brief interview.
Wednesday sees artist Matteo Buffagni teaming with co-writers Kelly Sue DeConnick and Warren Ellis on Avengers Assemble #22, a tie-in to Marvel's "Inhumanity" event. In addition to chatting about that, Buffagni was kind enough to share a glimpse into his design process for June Covington/Toxie Doxie's new costume, revealed at the end of Avengers Assemble #21.
Tim O'Shea: For those unfamiliar with your career, how long have been working in comics?
Matteo Buffagni: I've been working at Marvel since 2010, when I started on X-23 then jumped on Daken, Ultimate Iron Man: The Demon in the Armor, Astonishing X-Men and now Avengers Assemble.
Before those assignments I attended the International School of Comics in Florence and worked on a couple of French books called Vestiges.
As part of All-New Marvel NOW!, veteran artist Lee Garbett will team in February with writer Al Ewing for Loki: Agent of Asgard, a series the god of mischief is fully grown and in the service of the All-Mother. More immediately, however, Marvel is setting the stage for the initiative with All-New Marvel NOW! Point One #1, a one-shot that arrives Jan. 8 with a Garbett-drawn Loki serving as the thread that brings together all of the stories.
In my interview with Garbett, the artist clearly relishes the opportunity to draw Asgard's new "one-man secret service" as well as work with Ewing. ROBOT 6 is also pleased to provide an exclusive page from the upcoming All-New Marvel NOW Point One.
Few have a better perspective on the making of the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark than playwright Glen Berger. He spent six years co-writing the script and has now penned a tell-all memoir about the tumultuous experience, Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History.
As noted on the book's back cover, one scene — in which "Green Goblin pushes a Steinway off a skyscraper only to be sent to his own death because he didn't realize he was attached to the piano by Spider-Man's webbing" — earned him the job, but it also would ultimately lead to the dismissal of director and co-writer Julie Taymor.
We cover a great deal of ground in this interview, including a brief discussion of (as he mentions in the book) his reaction to sharing a co-writer credit for the play with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who worked on the project for just two months. It was interesting to get Berger's perspective, particularly when comparing what it's like to develop for theater as opposed to television. I'm also curious to see what musical he's developing for Warner Bros.
Earlier this month ROBOT 6 noted that Portland, Oregon-based artist Steve Lieber appeared in a Travel Portland ad piece to promote tax-free shopping in the city. Seeing the piece made me want to know more about how Lieber became involved and what was the experience was like. Fortunately, Lieber, who's now working on The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, was able to answer my questions in a brief interview.
Tim O'Shea: How did you get tapped to do the commercial? Did you have to submit art samples before getting cast?
Steve Lieber: The agency was familiar with my work before contacting me. It was simultaneously flattering and surprising.
You may know Christy Blanch from her recent investment, along with her partner Mark Waid, in Alter Ego Comics in Muncie, Indiana, her comics education work, or her collaboration with Chris Carr, Chee and Troy Peteri on the Thrillbent series The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood.
While the comic about a college professor in a dangerous partnership for the sake of his family is on hiatus, that's about to end. Blanch and I discussed all three aspects of her busy career in this interview.
Tim O'Shea: Judging from the store's Facebook page, it's pursuing a great deal of community outreach. Are you seeing new faces shopping in the store as a result?
Christy Blanch: Mark, Jason [Pierce, the initial owner] and I are all about creating community. We want to give people a reason to come here to shop. We want them to feel like this is their clubhouse to come in and hang out, talk comics, and just be themselves. We are seeing lots of new faces. The old location was a nice store, but we really were hidden. Downtown we are very visible and we see new people every day which is a great feeling. I love it when I sell someone their first comic book especially if it is a series that I love. I always tell them I envy them because I would love to 'forget' the book and be able to read it for the first time again.
Long before we worked together, I respected Kevin Melrose's instincts on picking creators to watch. So when he advised the Robot 6 audience to read Victor Santos' webcomic Polar, I was intrigued. That interest only grew when Jim Gibbons (one of the best editors working in comics) told me Dark Horse was collecting Polar's first season in Polar: Came from the Cold (which ROBOT 6 previewed in late September); I knew I wanted to interview the Bilbao, Spain-based artist.
In addition to discussing the 160-page Polar hardcover, set for release on Dec. 11, we also touched upon the upcoming Furious, a Dark Horse miniseries with his Mice Templar collaborator Bryan J.L. Glass, set to launch on Jan. 29. (For additional Furious information, please read Albert Ching's September interview with Glass.)
Tim O'Shea: You are very clear at your website in terms of the influences that inform Polar: Came from the Cold. "The story uses a minimalistic and direct style inspired by movies like Le Samurai (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967), Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki, 1965) or Point Blank (John Boorman, 1967) and novels like The Killer Inside Me (Jim Thompson, 1952) or The Eiger Sanction (Trevanian, 1979). Polar is also a tribute to artists like Jim Steranko, Jose Muñoz, Alberto Breccia, Alex Toth and Frank Miller." I would love to discuss each and every element of those sentences, but I will just focus on two elements. How did you first find out about films like Le Samurai? When did you read your first Steranko story, and what was it?
Victor Santos: The first Steranko book I read was the Outland adaptation. I was studying fine arts, and I hadn't really had a great deal of exposure to U.S. comics. I'd read a lot of superheroes books in my childhood, but the manga explosion of the '80 and '90s caught me just in my teenage years. Actually, it was during my university years when I discovered the great U.S. artists like Eisner, Ditko, Crumb, Toth, Caniff and dozens more (thanks to friends I met there, never the professors). I discovered an old Spanish edition of Outland in a street market. Wow, that stuff blew me away! The big panels contrasting the little panels, as well as that "heavy black lighting" … This edition was a big, European album size, so the double-page spreads are gigantic. I began to research. These were very intense years for me; I was absorbing all the American history of comics at the same time.
Dec. 11 will see the release of the latest collaboration between artist Natalie Nourigat and writer Jamie S. Rich, A Boy & a Girl, a 160-page sci-fi romance. Published by Oni Press (Diamond Order Code: JUL131213), the graphic novel is a futuristic story that considers an Earth where life-like androids are becoming just as common as real humans, and where a guy named Travis decides he just has to get a date with a girl named Charley. That spark of interest leads to a whole slew of quirky turns and revelations. I recently caught up with Nourigat, who's normally based out of Portland, Oregon's Periscope Studio but is spending a year in France, to discuss her latest work. To get a slice of the story, be sure to check out Oni's 10-page preview.
Tim O'Shea: Was there any specific element in particular about Jamie S. Rich's script that persuaded you to want to draw the story?
Natalie Nourigat: I wanted to draw the story before I even knew what the story was, because I wanted to work with Jamie again. He was really open to collaboration, and from the beginning he invited me to suggest elements that interested me to steer us into something that would be fun for both of us. I wanted a time-travel story, and then a futuristic sci-fi setting, and then the split-perspective angle as things progressed.
Of the myriad artists working at Marvel in recent years, Valerio Schiti, who kicks off a two-issue stint this week on Avengers A.I., stands out as one of those deserving a great deal more attention. I'm hard pressed to define what most appeals to me in terms of his work, but Schiti's knack for distinctive facial reactions ranks high on the list. It's also an element he and I discuss in this interview (be sure to also peruse the preview of Avengers A.I. #5 on Comic Book Resources). I hope Schiti's boundless enthusiasm for his craft, which is reflected in his work, comes across in this interview.
Tim O'Shea: The first issue of your two-issue stint (Avengers A.I. #5-6) leaps right into the deep end, as detailed in the solicitations, as Issue 5 tackles the "mind-bending origin of Alexis." How excited were you when you learned you got to tackle that in your first issue?
Valerio Schiti: It's great to have the chance to work on such a defining moment for a new character. We don't know anything about Alexis yet, even if Sam [Humphries] and André [Araùjo] introduced her. We already know what she looks like, some of her abilities but we still don't know who she really is, what's her purpose. Usually a normal writer would use a flashback sequence to answer such questions, but Sam is not a "normal" writer. He decided to take advantage of the artificial nature of Alexis to reveal something new about her in an original way, which means that is also a visually original way! I had a great fun drawing this scene and Frank [D'Armata], with his amazing talent for colors, made it spectacular.
Once in a while, when I go into the comics shop to snag my weekly pile, there will be something on the shelf that catches totally unaware. On Oct. 2, I was delighted to discover the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Liberty Annual 2013 (published by Image Comics). Given that all the proceeds from the book (previewed here at CBR) benefit the CBLDF, I wanted to interview Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie, who directed the project. While I had his attention, I couldn't pass up the chance to discuss some of the Dark Horse line as well.
Tim O'Shea: While seemingly an obvious question, I still think it worth asking: Why is it so important to you to volunteer your time for a project like the CBLDF Liberty Annual?
Scott Allie: Free speech is a near and dear cause, for me and for Dark Horse, and it's still an uphill battle for comics. There are preconceptions about this art form that invite attacks, and we need to work to defend against that. I want creators and publishers to be free to put out what they want to put out, and for retailers to sell it without fear of prosecution, for readers to travel with their books without fear of incarceration. The CBLDF isn't just about raising money in court cases. They're about educating the population about the art form we love, and I want to be a part of that.
Current Aquaman artist Paul Pelletier has a long and varied history in comics, dating back to the late 1980s. When I learned Jeff Parker would replace Geoff Johns as the series' writer (beginning with Aquaman #26), I was pleased that DC Comics chose to leave Pelletier on the title (as opposed to switching to a new art team, as frequently happens). I enjoy Pelletier's take on Aquaman, and I was surprised to learn he's not well-versed in some of the character's earlier runs (so readers, please be sure to share your favorite runs in the comments section, since the artist asked "which runs would the Aqua-fans recommend?"). It was a unique opportunity, prior to the October 23 release of Aquaman #24, to chat with the veteran artist as he transitions from collaborating with one veteran writer to another. Plus, I enjoyed hearing about Pelletier's appreciation of basketball legend Larry Bird.
Tim O'Shea: Once you realized Arthur would be sporting a beard again, did you draw a couple of versions of beards (goatee versus full beard) or did you and Geoff always have one look in mind when it came to Aquaman's facial hair?
Paul Pelletier: When Geoff wrote Aquaman with the beard, it was a result of Arthur being unconscious for six months, so I figured it wouldn't be too stylized. A full beard that wasn't too manicured made sense to me. Now if the beard was to remain, then we might have to think about something a bit more tailored to Arthur.
I first became aware of colorist Steve Downer due to his work on MonkeyBrain Comics' Edison Rex. But as I quickly learned, he serves as colorist on a variety of projects, as well as artist on Dracula the Unconquered. Given the variety of Downer's projects, I thought it would be insightful to discuss his craft with him.
Tim O'Shea: How long have you been a colorist?
Steve Downer: I've been working full-time as a colorist since 2009, though I started coloring as a side job much earlier, in 2007, while I worked as a T-shirt graphic designer.
I missed out on Pat Grant's debut graphic novel Blue when it was initially released in 2012. But now that Top Shelf has the book back in print, I got in touch with the Australian writer/artist to learn more about the 96-page book, described as "a fascinating blend of autobiography and fiction with a sci-fi twist." The story has an interesting mix of several elements, including teenagers surfing, aliens with tentacles, conflict, bigotry and a quest for a dead body — all of which just scratches the surface of this ambitious work.
In 1987, writer Christopher Hinz released Liege-Killer, the first novel in his "Paratwa Trilogy," although longtime comics readers may remember him for his work on the mid-'90s DC Comics/Helix series Gemini Blood. Now, more than 25 years later, Hinz has adapted Liege-Killer for comics, collaborating with artist Jon Proctor on the new graphic novel Binary, published by Ilfeld Comics.
To learn more about the project, I asked Proctor a handful of questions about Binary and working with Hinz.
Tim O'Shea: What was it about Christopher Hinz's script that attracted you to Binary?
Jon Proctor: Binary is a graphic novel adaptation of Christopher's novel Liege-Killer, which was first published in 1987. It went on to win the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel and earned a nomination for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. It had a cult following for years, and even though I was unaware of the original novel I was familiar with a nine-issue miniseries Christopher did for DC comics short-lived, science fiction and science fantasy imprint called Helix. The comic, titled Gemini Blood, had similar themes to the Binary/Liege-Killer universe. Incidentally, it was also drawn by Tommy Lee Edwards, and I've always been a huge fan of his artwork. Stuart Moore edited the Helix mini, and he and I have been partners in crime for years. He thought I might be a good fit so he approached me with the idea for Binary. Committing to a 125-page full-color book where the entire production sits squarely on my shoulders was a little nerve-wracking, but the script hooked me on the first page. In other words, Christopher is a really talented writer! The science fiction aspect was one thing that attracted me to it but within the layering of the characters was something different and fascinating. For one thing, the idea that the main villain in the book consists of two assassins that share a soul was really something I thought would be great fun as well as a visual challenge to pull off, and it was! The script was just really fresh and the world it portrayed was enormous. I did a few pages as a try out for Christopher and our producer Etan Ilfeld, and thankfully they chose me to do the book.

Coping with Adultery

After three decades of specializing in marriage counseling, I've seen many people give up. I've seen many relationships where the couples put off healing too long and eventually cause irreparable damage.
More importantly, I've seen the majority of my couples overcome what they imagined to be unbeatable odds by restoring their relationship and making it better than before the affair.
Sound hard to believe? Perhaps, but all I ask is that you refrain from disbelieving until I show you proof.
Imagine this... what if I told you that the magic bullet for rebuilding your relationship included one or more of the following ten actions:
You might say I'm right, or you might say you've tried these and many more things and they simply don't work
Successfully repairing your relationship is not about doing a lot of hard work; it's a system. This system is about doing the right things, BUT more importantly, doing them in the right order.
You see, all of the things listed above can be good, but most of the time they are performed in the wrong order.
Let me explain with an example.
Fact: Of 1083 married couples surveyed, out of the group who discussed the affair in great detail, 86% remained married. Out of the group who discussed the affair very little, only 55% remained married.
A survey performed Peggy Vaughan Click Here
When you choose to talk about the details is more important than if you talk about the details.
Here's why: when your spouse drops the bomb of their affair, it is one of the most shocking and devastating experiences you can go through. The mental and physical pain can be too much to bear.

Jersey Shore's Vinny GTF's For the New Year: Gyms, Tans, Freezes His Butt Off (PHOTO)
As Vinny put it, he was freezin' for a reason this New Year's, spending his should-be-hungover morning plunging into a freezing ocean. What a guy!
The Jersey Shore star spent January 1 participating in the Cold-EEZE annual Coney Island Polar Bear Plunge in the Atlantic Ocean, to raise money for the charity Camp Sunshine.
According to Vinny's Twitter, he still has water in his ear, so he may need a few more days to recover from the chilly swim!
Snooki & JWOWW Season 2 premieres on Tuesday, January 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

New year, vintage parade in Pasadena
For viewers who line the 124th Rose Parade route in Pasadena on New Year's Day, the city's police and fire departments have provided a list of taboos that's not too surprising; e.g., no sofas, ladders, bonfires, or selling items without a permit. Our favorite, however, is "Throwing any projectile into the parade, including seemingly harmless items such as tortillas, marshmallows, flowers, etc., is prohibited." Perhaps in the past they've had a few pranksters from the less dignified Doo Dah Parade show up.
The Rose Parade, themed "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" (or maybe it should be "Oh, the Things You Shouldn't Throw!"), will feature the usual procession of vegetation-studded floats along with marching musicians and proud ponies. The grand marshal, environmentalist and humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall, might outshine the Rose Parade Queen.
Pre-parade events include Bandfest, featuring performances by the bands selected for the parade, 2-4:30 p.m. Saturday, and 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2-4:30 p.m. Sunday at Pasadena College ($15; free for kids younger than 5); and Equestfest, featuring equestrian acts, food, music and more, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank ($15-$35; free for kids 5 and younger).
The 5.5-mile parade will start at 8 a.m. Tuesday, traveling north on Orange Grove Boulevard to Colorado Boulevard, then east to Sierra Madre Boulevard. It will be broadcast on ABC, the Hallmark Channel, HGTV, KTLA, NBC and Univision. Westlake Village resident Bob Eubanks once again will co-host KTLA's parade broadcast with Stephanie Edwards. Curbside viewing is free and doesn't require a ticket. To sit in the grandstands, call 626-795-4171 for ticket information.
When the parade is over, you can check out the floats on display at the end of the parade route from 1-5 p.m. Tuesday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday ($10 general admission; free for kids 5 and younger).

The investigation began last year after one of the girl's friends told a teacher he had seen a lurid cell phone video that showed the girl being raped in an abandoned trailer. Also accused are six juvenile boys, three of whom have pleaded guilty.

McGowan, 20, the first defendant to face trial among a group of men and boys accused of repeatedly raping a young Texas girl, vanished Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2012 during a break in the proceedings in Liberty, Texas, following emotionally charged testimony from the alleged victim. McGowen, is among 14 adults charged in the case. Prosecutors and defense attorneys huddled briefly with Judge Mark Morefield after McGowen failed to return to the courtroom following an afternoon break. The judge then told jurors the trial will go on without him. Morefield later said a bench warrant had been issued, and McGowen's bail was increased from $35,000 to $250,000. The judge denied a defense motion for a continuance in the case and said the trial will resume Thursday morning. (AP Photo/Courtesy the Liberty County Sheriff's Department)

Photo By Melissa PhillipEric McGowen is escorted from the Liberty County Courthouse on Thursday after he was sentenced to 99 years without parole. He was convicted in the repeated group sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl.
State District Judge Mark Morefield on Friday wrote the final chapter in the notorious gang rape case of an 11-year-old Cleveland girl when he accepted the guilty plea of the last of 21 assailants.
Cordney Demond Bennett, 21, of Cleveland was positively linked to the case by a DNA specimen found at the crime scene, but authorities took a year before they were able to put a name to that specimen.
In the Liberty County plea agreement, Bennett received a reduced seven-year sentence in exchange for pleading guilty to indecency with a child by exposure. He also will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years after completing the sentence.
The charge stems from a series of assaults of the young girl that occurred in 2010 in the community off U.S. 59 about 40 miles north of Houston. An investigation initially was launched when Cleveland school authorities confiscated recordings of the assaults that had gone viral and were being viewed on the Cleveland High School campus.
A vacant, dilapidated house located on the poorer side of town known as "the quarters" was where most of the assaults occurred, along with the home of one of the assailants.
Only two adult males requested trials, and juries handed both life or 99-year prison sentences. Eleven other adult males received 15-year sentences in exchange for pleading guilty to sexual assault of a child, while the seven juveniles entered guilty pleas for seven-year probated sentences.

Money for old mobile could fund use of Spotify for iPhone
5 July 2010 — 11:51 AM
Consumers may wish to use the money for an old mobile phone gained through selling it with Envirofone to purchase an iPhone, which offers an improved connection to Spotify.
The music player can be accessed through its official app that is now available to users of the iPhone 4 as well as its predecessor, the iPhone 3GS, explains Craig Westaway, writing for Cnet.
Apple has made it compliant with iOS 4 technology, meaning it takes advantage of the latest model's multitasking ability.
One advantage of this is that when a person is listening to their favourite track on Spotify, should they navigate back to the iPhone's homepage their song will keep playing, the reviewer states.
"This means you'll be able to check your email, or more importantly tweet, without stopping the rock," he suggests.
Apple's iPhone 4 was released in the UK and four other countries on June 24th and will be rolled out across the world over the coming months.

Kim's University of divine struggle for crapulence
Kim is a truely remarkable leader. Embracing the concept of "distance learning," has established the Kim Il Sung Open University Web site, www.ournation-school.com, aimed at educating the world on North Korea's philosophy of "juche" or self-reliance. He has set up a system that allows only students and researchers at universities along with a selct few to have access to computers. This is made odd due to constant intranet surveilence on a nationwide scale. A handful of the elite have access to the wider Web, via a pipeline through China, but this is almost certainly filtered, monitored and logged. No one knows what is going on besides the high ranking officials, so it is quite difficult to grasp what information is being collected and distributed in that isolated region of the world we call North Korea. Is this how Kim is going to develop his weapons even further, or train his army a poutier and stylistic goosewalk? Perhaps they are coming up with new ideas to broadcast on Kim's show or invent a hairstyle that doesn't resemble cotton candy.

Is Your Home Obesogenic*?
Sure, it's a haven. But it's also where bad eating habits can come to roost. Here's how to create domestic surroundings that will keep you on the straight and narrow.
Full House
If you keep choosing cheese curls over biceps curls, your home could have a lot to do with it. "Your habits are more tied to your environment than you know," says psychologist Jeremy Dean, the author of Making Habits, Breaking Habits ($26, amazon.com). Eat enough chips on the couch, for instance, and you'll automatically associate couch time with chip time. Our routines are so influenced by environmental cues that research shows it's easier to change our habits in a novel setting. "We see major shifts in behavior when people move to a new house," says Dean. But you don't have to relocate to start anew; you just need to become aware of the subtle cues that say "cake!" and replace them with healthy alternatives. "The typical person makes about 200 food-related decisions a day, but she believes she makes 25 to 30. And it's those 175 that you're not aware of that can push you to eat more," says Brian Wansink, Ph.D., the director of Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab and the author of the upcoming book Slim by Design ($27, amazon.com). Here's how to help your home help you get (or stay) slender.
* Yes, that's a real word. It means "causing obesity," and it was added to Merriam-Webster's dictionary in 2012.

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 23 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LauLau So Chill I got the maroon romper in the mail yesterday and was SUPER happy with it! I've already worn it and got a bunch of compliments! It really is something unique to have in your closet. Since I am short (5'3") i'm happy the edges of the pants are raw and can be cut to a fitting length. However that also means the top, from the distance of my shoulder to the crotch (i suppose), is a touch long too. But it really doesn't detract from the overall look, just something to think about! It's super cute with a tank but I prefer a modest cotton bra underneath. Gives a fun, relaxed, beach-y feel ;) looooooove iiiiitttttttt 4.29.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by amster Not a great fit for curvy girls I got this piece hoping it would be great for travel as suggested. However, I think it's ideal for tall and lanky but not for medium height and curvy. It just clung to me in all the wrong places and the rise was just too baggy. When I adjusted the straps to put the excess fabric in more of the right spots (the hips) then it was too short. The fabric was nice, light weight and drapey, but the fit for me was just not cool. 9.19.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by LUVSHOPPING Very ill-fitting I was so excited to receive this and very disappointed once it came. It is very long on me and I am 5'7 (you can cut off the raw edged bottom so this is not a huge problem). The problem is the crotch hangs right down to your knees.It runs extremely large and it has pockets that stick out and make your hips look twice as big as they are. I am guessing that is why the model has her hands in the pockets. Definately will be going back! 6.27.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hmw super cute! Really easy, perfect to throw in my bag, over my bikini... most definite staple for all summer! 4.13.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by blue9girl9 Love! Gonna wear often This is versatile, comfy and adorable. I am sure I'll be wearing it all summer. Wish the site had the bra she's wearing. Cute with the jumpsuit. Others have mentioned it shrinks. I'm 5'9" and the length is perfect. I hope it doesn't shrink! 1.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cpro77133 Too Cute! Perfect for TALL & SHORT I just love this romper!! It's true to size and the color matches the online photo exactly. I'm 5'4" and I have room for an extra leg at the bottom LOL. You tall gals will appreciate that! I'm used to having everything hemmed. The GOOD news for us petites... The natural edges come raw, it can be cut to height. No needle & thread necessary. I'm going to wash it, per instructions FIRST.... just in the event in it shrinks a tad. Now I want it in the other color!! 4.20.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mayaa Very comfy and a different sexy look I bought this so I could be comfortable on my plane ride for vacation. I advise not too cut the bottoms until you have washed the item as it is abit large and will drag abit with sandals. It can be adjusted from the back and is quite roomy. It is cute and fits any age bracket you fall in. I am 46 and still enjoy running around in clothing that would other wise be for a teenage girl. It looks just like the picture on the model. Get it if it becomes available again. Great for vacation wear. I wore it on the plane with a knit top under it. I wore it to the beach and pool with just a bathing suit top. 9.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Haelz LOVE IT!!!!! I am 5'5" 120lbs 34B, Got the size small and it is perfect. So comfy it has become my go to piece for summer. Got it in the black and came back to get more and the maroon was sold out so I bought another black to have as backup :) The pockets dont bother me at all as long as I put my hands in them and smooth them down after I pull it on. So to sum up, I bought 2, enough said :) 7.15.2012

Re: Oil Filter
Okay. Can you describe the harm that your engine may incurr if the oil ran through the engine for 50 hours without being filtered or changed? Will it pretty much just "die" upon that activity?
Are there drastic differences in the engine oil/ oil filter systems/ functions of plane engines as opposed to car engines?
Thanks again.
Re: Oil Filter
I think the "life" of ones oil and ones filter would depend on the condition of, how and how often the plane is flown. Many variables
come into play. The recommend oil/filter change should, pretty much, asure that the oil/filter's life hasn't been expended.
At the price of these engines and their maintainance, I don't know of anyone who would want to find out how long the "life" is.
I knew an auto mechanic that had a shop that contracted with Budget RentA Car. He told me that Budget's policy was to take the cars out of service for oil changes. They felt that the down time for the maintainance would be less if they just ran the engines untill the croaked. He further advised the average life for those engines were about 57,000 miles. Then replace the trashed engine. I did get to see the inside of one of those motors....pretty ugly!
Re: Oil Filter
I think it depends on your engine. Consult the engine manual for recommended times. We change our oil every 50 hours and the filter every 100 hours. Have we gone 70 hours between oil changes? Sure we have. But that is when we are flying a lot and simply don't have time to change the oil. Put in a quick drain and then change the oil yourself. Get a certified mechanic to change the filter for you. They will properly safety wire it and then cut it open to check for metal.
Just remember, fuel and oil are about the cheapest things you put into an aircraft.
Re: Oil Filter
A. Vail sir,
I totally agree with his conclusions.
Re: Oil Filter
i just read the last two days messages, to put things into perspective my uncle owned a c-210 he changed oil every 25 hrs (more than needed but that the way he is ) filter should be changed every 50 hrs. when asked by his mechinac if he wanted the filter changed at 25 hrs. he simply said would you take a shower and put your dirty underwhare back on? think about it.
Re: Oil Filter
Follow your service manual is all I have to say. The 50 hour oil change/ 100hr. oil & filter change has worked for us. We have a small charter company and I am 1000 hours into my third set of engines. All have made it to TBO and then some. Our cylinders are making it to TBO now that we have switched to TCM steel cylinders. We use Aero Shell straight weight oil i.e. 100W, 80W, and 65W. This has worked for us for years now, but again, follow your service manual. We do.

Chelsea still kicking in English Premier League
nepal Salomon Kalou scored in the 89th minute, leading Chelsea past Tottenham 2-1 and keeping alive his team's hopes of retaining the Premier League title.
Sandro put Tottenham ahead in the 19th-minute on a shot from long range, but Frank Lampard tied it in the final minute of the first half. Kalou won it when he poked the ball into an unguarded net despite appearing offside.
Manchester United is bidding for a record 19th English championship. It leads Chelsea by three points and plays at third-place Arsenal on Sunday.
"It's theirs to lose," Lampard said. "But if they do slip up we're in a position now where we'll have a real go to try and do it."
Chelsea has just three games remaining to United's four, but one of those is the meeting between the teams at Old Trafford next weekend.
Wigan and Blackpool played to draws, leaving unclear which clubs will be relegated. Blackpool drew 0-0 with FA Cup finalist Stoke, and Wigan drew 1-1 with seventh-place Everton.
Blackpool, in 17th place, and Wigan, in the third and final relegation spot, are tied at 35 points. Last-place West Ham has 32 points, one fewer than next-to-last Wolverhampton. Both play Sunday.
Blackburn improved its chances of avoiding demotion with its first win since Jan. 23, beating Bolton 1-0. West Bromwich Albion's place in next year's Premier League looks secure after it downed Aston Villa 2-1.
Queens Park Rangers secured the League Championship title with a 2-0 win at Watford and will be promoted to the Premier League after a 15-year absence. But QPR faces a hearing next week for allegedly breaking transfer rules. If guilty, a points deduction is possible.
BERLIN (AP) - Borussia Dortmund won its seventh Bundesliga title and first since 2002, beating Nuremberg 2-0 on Saturday while second-place Bayer Leverkusen lost 2-0 at Cologne.
First-half goals from Lucas Barrios and Robert Lewandowksi put Dortmund eight points ahead of Leverkusen with two rounds left. Dortmund started the season by losing at home to Leverkusen.
"I'm just happy," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "I thought I'd be euphoric but maybe that'll come. It's impossible to put what the lads have done into words."
Milivoje Novakovic scored for Cologne in the 67th and 82nd minutes, giving his team its first victory over Leverkusen in 14 years.
"I can't really describe it," Dortmund midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz said. "We played a really awesome season."
Thomas Mueller scored twice and set up another two for Bayern Munich, which won 4-1 at home against Schalke. Bayern moved to third after Hannover lost 1-0 at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach.
MADRID (AP) - Angel Lafita scored twice and set up a penalty kick for Zaragoza, which won 3-2 against a Real Madrid team coming off a Champions League loss to Barcelona.
Jose Mourinho's team lost for the second time in three league games at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium after the Portuguese coach hadn't endured a home defeat for nine years.
Madrid fell 2-0 in the first-leg of the semifinals to Barcelona on Wednesday. The victory moved Zaragoza four points clear of the relegation.

I watched a movie last night. The Big Blue. a French movie about a deep see diver who dived deep into the ocean without an oxygen tank, just him with the one breath of air he took before he dived in…
Now, this type of movie is not my favorite type of movie, what made me watch it is Dr David Hawkins' recommendation.
In his book, Power vs. Force he says that the movie calibrates at 700 on a logarithmic scale of 1 to 1000.
Einstein only calibrates at 499…
So I went out, and searched for it. Lots of opportunities to download pirated versions, I chose to buy the movie used… hey, if I am going to use it to move my own consciousness up the scale, might as well be high minded, right?
I watched the movie, and I didn't understand it. In the end, the hero chooses to go back into the depth of the sea instead of staying with his pregnant girl-friend.
I wanted to look it up on google, maybe I misunderstood… but instead, in my sleep, it came to me: above a certain level in consciousness, where people rarely get, life is like deep down in the see. Rare thoughts, if any, dreamlike, you feel drunk with bliss. At least according to Dr. David Hawkins. He lives there, he says.
That is the world of the endless, the world of the soul. No wonder the ego, the always hurrying, always concerned, always opinionating ego drowns the few words the soul would say… no wonder our lives is so far removed from that dreamy, blissful state.
Then another part of the movie popped into my memory: the doctor says that at the depth these divers descended to, at 500 feet, the oxygen is so compressed, it doesn't have the energy to lift these people up.
Lift them up…when they are the deepest in the water, where their souls are the freest, their body is the least able to uplift… the diver says, "at that level you need a really good reason to want to come back."
I don't like choosing. If you know me, you know that one of my favorite sayings is "have your cake and eat it too." Choosing, for me, is like cutting off your arm, your legs, your head?
So how can you uplift your soul and not damage your body? How can you, on demand, elevate your soul? Be, at least a little bit, in that blissful domain of no worries and no concerns, in that domain of all knowing, in that domain of all-loving?
In the day-to-day, dog-eat-dog world, it can be near impossible. In that world, joy has to have a reason, and lasts for mere seconds. In that world loving is a deal: I love you and you love me. You break your word: too bad, the deal is off.
Then I thought that appreciation and gratitude are the instant shoe-lifts for your soul.
Don't believe me? Try it. Attempt to be grateful, for anything, for a moment. You'll experience a sudden elevation in your state. If you can.
If your vibration level is too low, it may take many attempts. At first you'll want to appreciate something that you can see that you have a reason to. After enough practice, you'll be able to appreciate and be grateful for its own sake.
Another book I read recently says: one can start to elevate themselves from slavery and poverty the moment they start noticing and appreciating beauty.
As I am sitting here, in front of my panorama window overlooking a valley in Syracuse, NY, with the streaked sky that looks like my hair when I get up: no two hairs go in the same direction… with the few yellow leaves still clinging to the bare branches of the trees, with the silence of the fall crisp air, my heart fills with gratitude. My eyes well up and I experience instant take-off.
A lift from the mundane to the dominion of the sacred.
If this were taught in schools, the world's population's vibration would rise from the current 207 into the late 200's or maybe into the 300's. And guess what can't live in that rarefied world? Thoughts of greed, murder, abuse. Just like most people would die at even 100 feet deep in the ocean…
It takes practice. And it takes a liberation of the soul.
Is it worth it? Yes, take it from me. I have managed to go from wretched to a mostly happy, mostly pleasant individual. Now, that's something. How did I do that? Exactly how I am telling you… with gratitude and appreciation. And with pulling responsibility towards me… but that will be the topic of another article… You can wait, right? You have work to do. You need to appreciate the world around you, the people, the sky, your cat, your food, your beauty.
Now go, start. Start today!

The scorpion, a Heterometrus spinifer, is completely edible, despite the arachnid being deadly if alive.
"a spider," 1869, from French arachnide (1806) or Modern Latin Arachnida, introduced as name for this class of arthropods 1815 by French biologist Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet de Lamarck (1744-1829), from Greek arakhne (fem.) "spider; spider's web," which probably is cognate with Latin aranea "spider, spider's web" (borrowed in Old English as renge "spider"), from aracsna. The Latin word could be a Greek borrowing or both could be from a common root. An earlier noun form was arachnidian (1828).

Young people and adults who engage in the ministry of the 2015 ELCA Youth Gathering will learn that as individuals, as communities, as a collective humanity, we are called and claimed as characters in and witness to God's divine story, a story that always moves through the cross to the resurrection. They will be touched by God's story unfolding in Detroit. They will return home more aware of their place in God's story, a story enhanced by the stories of others, especially those who are different from them. Ultimately, young people will be encouraged to see themselves as essential witnesses to God's story in the world as they learn to proclaim the beginning of the good news in and through their lives of discipleship, a discipleship marked by their baptismal promises to:
- LIVE among God's faithful people,
- HEAR the word of God and share in the Lord's supper,
- PROCLAIM the good news of God in Christ through words and deed,
- SERVE all people, following the example of Jesus,
- STRIVE for justice and peace in all the earth. (ELW, page 236)

THE newly appointed minister of trade and industry, Calle Schlettwein, yesterday said his goodbyes to his colleagues at the Ministry of Finance, where he served ten years of his career, first as as permanent secretary and then deputy minister.
Schlettwein said the ministry had achieved many milestones in various areas.
"In hindsight, we did not slip up big time. We have kept debt at sustainable levels. We [ministry of finance] have come to prove that we are people that honour our debt and have the ability to pay," said Schlettwein.
He added that one of the big things the ministry did right was that it never overspent.
"The ministry has established several satellite offices across the country, bringing the ministry closer to the people," he said. He added that the construction of the new finance building was also an achievement for the ministry.
Schlettwein said that in terms of inland revenue, the ministry had experienced revenue constraints as taxpayer compliance was low. However, through forensic audits it managed to pick up revenue collection over the past seven years.
Other achievements were plans to develop the Lüderitz and Zambezi waterfronts as well as turning around the Windhoek Country Club into a profitable organisation.
With regard to Air Namibia, which falls under the Ministry of Finance, he said, "It took our time and patience. We turned it around two times, however we did not finish our job, but it is a special case."
Schlettwein has served in seven ministries since independence and the Ministry of Trade and Industry will be his eighth assignment in the public service.
"My heart will always be in Finance," said Schlettwein, who received a farewell gift from Finance Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila and colleagues yesterday.

Senate Democrats have again failed to pass a large tax-extender and jobs bill because of a unified Republican filibuster. The bill is meant to stop massive layoffs, make sure poor people don't lose their health care and provide continued unemployment insurance to the many Americans hit hard by the recession. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) firmly stated that she believes Republicans are destroying the economy and the lives of millions of Americas for political gain. From David Dayen:
Stabenow, whose state of Michigan has the second-highest unemployment in the country, did not mince words. "The Republicans in the Senate want this economy to fail," she said bluntly. "In cynical political terms, it doesn't serve them if things turn around (in the economy)."
Several left-leaning writers like Greg Sargent have all noted the basic game theory 101 involved. Voters will blame Democrats, and vote for Republicans, if the economy stays bad. So, Republicans have a huge incentive to block Democrats from passing legislation that would improve the economy, and Senate Republicans have the tool to do that with the filibuster.
My question is: If Democratic Senators like Stabenow actually believe Republicans are trying to destroy the lives of millions of Americans and our economy, why on Earth are Senate Democrats letting Republicans do it?
Forty-one Senate Republicans can't constitutionally stop a bill unless the Senate Democrats let them. Fifty Democratic Senators plus Joe Biden can pass any legislation they want if they are willing to play hardball.
If they wanted to, Democrats could pass a budget resolution with reconciliation instructions that could be used for the tax-extender bill. They could than pass the tax bill as a reconciliation measure, which can't be filibustered in the Senate. This process would be very time consuming but could in theory work.
Better yet, Democrats could just take to the floor and use the "nuclear option" to eliminate the absurd anti-constitutional filibuster once and for all. Within an hour, they could end the much-abused practice and pass the tax-extender and jobs bill that millions of Americans desperately need. If Democrats actually believe Republicans are using the filibuster to destroy our economy for political gain, then eliminate it—now. Millions are suffering so Senate Democrats can maintain the silly, destructive traditions of their chamber.
The Senate Republicans' callous behavior disgusts me. Sadly, I'm only slightly less disgusted by the Senate Democrats who let them get away with it because they don't want to change the made-up rules of their super-fun club. What is worse: ruining the lives of millions for political gain or letting others do it because you don't want to change the rules that give you more power due to the 60-vote threshold for cloture?
If left-wing pundits are going to express their outrage about the Republican behavior in this matter, then they also need to direct it at the Democrats for letting it happen. This is not a game. People's livelihoods are at stake. But I guess among elected Democrats and Washington pundits, that is a distant second choice compared with protecting the "proud Senate tradition" that served for decades to stop anti-lynching laws and civil rights legislation.

8 Smoking Cessation Methods That Don't Work
May 4, 2013 by HealthVotes
Filed under General Health
You've tried over and over again to stop smoking. Nothing is more frustrating than finding yourself simply unable to reach for the pack of cigarettes. You know the warnings. You know the risks. Yet, for some reason, every one of these things hasn't worked for you. Well, why not? Let's explore the flaws.
#1 – Going Cold Turkey
It does not address the chemical and psychological dependency you have on cigarettes. Hands down, this method is rarely successful because it is just too hard to break the ties of this habit no matter how much you want to do so.
#2 – Substitute Nicotine With Caffeine
This is one of the more uncommon methods for quitting but proponents argue that drinking 2-3 cups of coffee or energy drinks per day will quell the body's chemical addiction to nicotine. However, this method simply replaces one addiction with another and, like many other methods on this list, does nothing to combat psychological cravings for a cigarette.
#3 – Nicotine Patches
NRT patches deliver a low dose of nicotine throughout the day, suppressing the effects of withdrawal from smoking. However, they don't address cigarette cravings. When a craving for a cigarette hits, and it will happen, the smoker has no defense.
#4 – Nicotine Gums
Most people find that nicotine gums just are not effective. Though some rarely say they work, most people do not like the taste or they do not get the same level of nicotine "high" as they would with smoking. Some people still smoke while using the gums, too, which the FDA recently condoned, arguably to combat declining sales.
#5 – Acupuncture
Though people often claim it reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, there are a couple reasons why acupuncture does not work for those who are trying to quit smoking. Acupuncture is meant to stimulate blood flow, which does not improve your cravings. It also does not address the desire need to smoke.
#6 – Prescription Medications
Some people reach out for prescriptions as an ideal way to stop the habit. It could work for you. However, the biggest risk here is a combination of the cost of the prescription and the simple fact that there are side effects. A cigarette often just seems like the easier choice.
#7 – Exercise
Exercising is an excellent way to get in shape and it can help you to stop eating poorly. However, you have to do it – and that is the biggest reason it fails. People are living more sedentary lives than ever and the thought of exercising enough to stop cravings is nearly impossible.
#8 – Eating Healthy
The problems here range from simply being unable to stick to a diet plan to not getting the cravings under control fast enough. Eating healthy as a way to stop smoking takes time and most people cave in before it works.
If you've tried some or all of these methods and are out of ideas, a 12 step program might be right for you. These types of programs have helped people fight all kinds of addictions, from alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling and also nicotine. Alternatively, you might want to try an electronic cigarette. While the FDA hasn't approved these as an effective method for quitting, they have a much higher success rate than traditional nicotine replacement therapy. E-cigs are simply a healthier alternative to smoking as they don't contain nearly as many toxins as cigarettes. People have used them to quit by gradually cutting down the nicotine content in their cartridges or "juice".
What are your experiences with these smoking cessation methods? Have you successfully tried any of them? Let us know in the comments section.

BEIRUT: Prime Minister-designate Omar Karami formed a pro-Syrian 30-minister Cabinet on Tuesday excluding opposition members and former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri's parliamentary bloc, but, for the first time in Lebanon, naming two women to ministerial posts.
"We would have wished all parties to participate, but we could not do better," Karami, who had called for a national unity government to face the pressures on Lebanon, said from Baabda following the announcement of his new Cabinet.
The Cabinet reshuffle comes amid international pressures on Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon.
However, Karami promised that his Cabinet will draft a new parliamentary electoral law respecting the Taif Accord, which stipulates that Syria leave Lebanon.
The Cabinet excludes anti-Syrian opposition groups, who boycotted the parliamentary consultations ahead of Karami's appointment. However, the prime minister designate said that it was the opposition that decided not to participate in his Cabinet, despite attempts he initiated in the last few days.
"We will continue to deal with the opposition to solve all difficulties placed on Lebanon," he said.
Karami's Cabinet is the first to include two women, Leila Solh, daughter of former Prime Minister Riad Solh and aunt of billionaire Saudi Prince Walid Bin Talal, and Wafaa Hamza, a Shiite close to Speaker Nabih Berri. Said Karami, "Women constitute half the Lebanese population."
Two of the most prominent portfolios, the defense and foreign ministries, were given to Syria's allies Abdel-Hamid Mrad and Mahmoud Hammoud, while Syria's strongest ally, Suleiman Franjieh, was named interior minister.
Karami named economist and former Minister Elias Saba as finance minister, at a time when his government is suffering from an estimated $35 billion national debt.
Druze Talal Arslan was named minister of the displaced, replacing his opponent Chouf MP Walid Jumblatt, who said he will not participate in any Cabinet under Lahoud's mandate in opposition to the extension of the president's term for three years on Sept. 3.
In accordance with the Taif Accord, the Cabinet must include equal Christian and Muslim representation spread between six Christian Maronites, four Christian Orthodox, three Christian Catholics, two Christian Armenians, six Shiites, six Sunnis and three Druze, headed by a Sunni Muslim prime minister.
The Cabinet was announced following extensive and lengthy consultations between Lahoud, Berri and Karami over the past five days.
Kararmi's first visit to Baabda on Tuesday was used to reach an agreement over the names appointed to some ministries.
Sources close to the Cabinet discussions said that Berri vetoed the presence of former Speaker Hussein Husseini in the Cabinet and demanded that the names of all six Shiites ministers receive his approval.
Berri, who heads the Amal Movement, issued a statement on Tuesday denying all information about a "Shiite obstacle" in the Cabinet reshuffle.
"There is no Shiite obstacle at all in the Cabinet reshuffle. Several of the names mentioned in the press are inaccurate," the statement said.
After resolving the interior ministry obstacle, granted to outgoing Health Minister Suleiman Franjieh after outgoing Interior Minister Elias Murr announced he would not participate in the next Cabinet, other difficulties emerged over the past 24 hours concerning the names to be appointed in the culture and education ministries.
Sources said that while Lahoud wanted to grant the Education Ministry to Bsharri MP Qabalan Issa Khoury's nephew Ibrahim Daher, Karami wanted the post for Sami Minkara or Tammam Salam.
"Salam wanted the Public Works and Transportation or the Education Ministry, but we could not offer him either of the two portfolios. We hope to include him in future cabinets," Karami said.
Sources said that former Beirut MP Tammam Salam also wanted a prominent ministry as none of Beirut's main figures were handed a portfolio.
Hariri's parliamentary bloc, which includes 17 Beirut MPs, announced last week it would not participate in the next cabinet. It also refrained last Thursday from naming a prime minister during the compulsory parliamentary consultations with Lahoud.
Early before heading to Baabda, Karami said from his residence in Ramlet al-Baida that the delay in the Cabinet reshuffle was due to obstacles concerning names more than allotted portfolios.
Karami also received a delegation from the Syrian Social Nationalist Party headed by the party's president Gebran Araiji and a delegation from the Phalange Party, two visits which were kept away from the media.
The new Cabinet excludes members of the opposition, such as Jumblatt's Democratic Gathering parliamentary bloc, the Qornet Shehwan Gathering and any ally of Hariri.
Karami's extensive attempts to include members of the opposition in his Cabinet failed late Monday. The opposition groups, although not opposing Karami personally, are determined not to participate in a cabinet that falls short concerning basic national objectives, such as implementing the Taif Accord.
They have also repeatedly said that the next cabinet will not bring any improvement to the current situation.
"We refused to participate in the next cabinet knowing ... that the opposition would be a minority and could not make any difference to face the majority of pro-regime parties and forces that are determined to keep the situation going as it is now," said Qornet Shehwan Gathering member Batroun MP Butros Harb in a statement Tuesday.
Until late Monday night, Karami was still trying to convince both Harb and Zghorta MP Nayla Mouawad to join his Cabinet. However, his initiatives failed when the opposition groups said they would not participate in a cabinet that lacks reform plans.
What remains to be seen following the Cabinet reshuffle is whether it will be granted the confidence of Parliament, which requires the vote of 86 out of its 128 MPs.
According to Article 64 of the Constitution, "The Cabinet does not exercise its powers before it gains Parliament's confidence."
The 29 MPs who voted against the constitutional amendment of the extension of Lahoud's term may refuse to cast their vote for the new Cabinet. However, such a number would not affect the Cabinet's legitimacy. But if Hariri's parliamentary bloc decided not to vote in favor of the government, in addition to the 29 other MPs, Karami's Cabinet would not be able to exercise its powers.
On Wednesday morning the ministers will go to the Cabinet offices in Beirut, form a committee and issue a ministerial statement that needs to receive Parliament's vote of confidence before the ministers start exercising their powers.

Air Canada today unveiled its new leisure carrier Rouge, which will start service on 1 July 2013 to European and Caribbean destinations.
The Air Canada Rouge fleet will consist of four aircraft transitioned from the Air Canada mainline fleet. The new carrier will operate two Boeing 767-300ER aircraft on transatlantic flights in a two-cabin configuration, as well as two Airbus A319 aircraft for domestic North America flights. The Airbus aircraft will be laid out in a one-class economy configuration with the option of additional legroom for some seats, while the 767s will feature a premium economy product.
The Rouge aircraft will be transferred from Air Canada when the mainline carrier receives two new 777-300ER aircraft in 2013.
The carrier will operate from Toronto Pearson International airport to Athens, Venice and Edinburgh, as well as several destinations in the Caribbean. Those cities include Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and Samana in the Dominican Republic; Kingston, Jamaica; San Jose and Liberia, Costa Rica and Varadero, Cayo Coco, Holguin and Santa Clara, Cuba. Air Canada Rouge will also fly nonstop from Montreal Trudeau airport to Athens.
Air Canada says that additional aircraft will be available to transition to the Rouge fleet once it receives its Boeing 787 in 2014. Rouge could operate up to 20 767-300ERs and 30 Airbus A319s. It plans to add new holiday destinations to its route network upon receiving the new aircraft.
Air Canada Rouge will create 200 new jobs in addition to the 900 employees that Air Canada is hiring to meet its own personnel requirements through 2013.
