Posted 16 September 2012 - 10:03 AM
As for visuals/videos/dancing RN will always be my favorite era.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 12:48 PM
Let me start by saying that Janet Jackson is my favourite artist of all time. I feel that's a line some of us deliver to the point of redundancy, but this discography chat will be sure it rings true. I also think it holds significant weight for me personally because a lot of the time you guys will see me take up for "rival" artists, even at times where Janet herself is concerned. But sometimes I feel it's what I don't say that might give off the wrong impression, because I feel my fanhood speaks for itself. I may not communicate it enough on here, but it's a part of me and has been since I properly discovered music. My family and friends associate Janet Jackson with me. Some of them even know who Janet Jackson is because of me. Hers is the only artist's forum I've ever signed up for. To this day my presence on message boards begins and ends with jj.net. She's the reason just last week I drove around half the day in search of a copy of For Colored Girls because I still hadn't seen it. No other artist has captivated me the way she has. And I don't fully know why. I just know she's the one. She's my point of reference and comparison to every artist who followed her reign. I will die a fan.
I'm going to start from the beginning. Mine, not Janet's. 'Miss You Much' was my introduction and I can still remember hearing it for the first time. I was standing in my grandmother's kitchen and the video came on. I don't have some cool story about how I was transfixed or anything like that, but I vividly remember being excited by the sound of music for the very first time. There's such a wonderful sense of urgency about that track. Like the opening chords of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', it's a song which releases a bodyshot of adrenalin the second it starts. I hear it and I'm moving. Naturally Rhythm Nation 1814 was the next step for me. It remains, after all these years, the greatest album I've ever heard. I don't remember if I asked for it or if my mum simply knew I was a big fan, but I remember her giving me the album on cassette for being good. I have patchy memories of wearing that album out, obsessing over a couple of songs for phases at a time. It's grown up with me. For that reason I may not be the best person to judge whether the album has aged well, but I believe it has. There are elements of everything in there, but I don't think it's definitively representative of a particular time or movement in music. It was incredibly socially aware but never at the expense of a great song. It's so imortant to highlight that. Issue-based lyrics are great and all, but if the musicality is lacking I'm only so invested. Janet, Jimmy, and Terry nailed that shit to the wall. And part of that was perfecting the tracklist. I will always remember Janet's MTV Icon where they talk about putting the album's more hard-hitting socio-tracks at the forefront of RN, and I applaud her for it. A lot of the magic is down to the flow. Plus, the album just has every side of Janet I love. I like to imagine Janet playing RN to the execs for the first time. Surely they must've thought, "Ffffuuuuuuuuuuuu..." There's not too much more I can put into words about this album, just that it's my Thriller. My Purple Rain. My Ray Of Light. My Dark Side Of The Moon. My Sgt. Peppers. My EVERYTHING.
With janet. came the realisation that I had a favourite artist. I was a little bit older and understood the world a little bit more. Sex was light years away, but sexuality had already begun to rear its head. Again, drawing back to Icon, I love when Janet points out that up until 'Love Will Never Do' she was, "covered up to here". That right there is why 'That's The Way Love Goes' was such a great period of re-invention for her. The curls, the skin, just flawless. I'd always felt Janet was the prettiest woman in the world but damn, she was just too beautiful that era. 'TTWLG' was the PERFECT lead-in to janet. I remember fawning over the TV when that video would play. That was the one to talk about at school. Better still was the song itself. The smooth shuffle and sleazy bassline were pure sex, and Janet's lush ad-libs really made that song for me. 'If', well that epitomises Janet Jackson in my eyes. One of the best things she ever put her name to. Those two singles are easily the album's high points for me, followed closely by the open season slayage that is 'This Time'. Fuck me, that song is a beast. Of Janet's major releases, though, it's probably the one I revisit the least in terms of whole albums. Oh, and 'Whoops Now' still blows chunks. (Hi Bu ).
It wasn't until the janet. era that I made the effort to track down Control. I don't remember it as a child, but I remembered hearing and reading of its impact. It took me a little while to warm to, but keep in mind I'd been spoiled by the riches of its superb follow-ups before making room for it in my life. I think that's the reason I don't hold it quite as high as the rest of the JanFam. Single-wise, on point, no denying it - especially on 'The Pleasure Principle' which is the greatest chunk of the Control era for me.
I think The Velvet Rope era was a great time to be a teenager. Any younger and I don't think I would've fully understood Janet Jackson at that time. We knew Janet the pop star, Janet the R&B seductress. This was Janet the artist. It's one of the few albums in my extensive collection that demands a full play from start to finish. I feel kinda stupid admitting this, but I actually didn't fully understand its themes of loneliness and depression until years later. The experimentation with Janet Jackson's sound is what excited me most about The Velvet Rope. 'Empty', 'What About', 'Velvet Rope', they're an experience for the ears. Obviously I'd known it to be a very personal record, but hearing it with a new appreciation of lyrical content some time after sticks out as a fond Janet memory. It came at a pretty crucial time of self-discovery, not only in my sexuality but my personality too. My taste had begun to branch out and I found myself obsessing over new sounds and alternative artists. Liner notes were a must-read. I will forever love her for the line, "Until he found out he was gay / that's so not mellow." It was a time of mass confusion and I'd just discovered my hero was on my side. What that can do to a little gay boy's understanding of self is pretty extraordinary. It was also the era that brought her to me in the flesh for the first time. What I said earlier bears repeating: Issue-based lyrics are great and all, but if the musicality is lacking I'm only so invested. Thankfully Janet is a master of the art. I consider TVR to be her greatest achievement in sound. Visually it's stunning, too. It's just shy of being my favourite album by her, but on the richness of songwriting and production I think it set the bar way high.
All For You was a labour of love. I remember being in a little shitbox town visiting family on the day it came out and I was pissed that I wasn't near a record store. Thankfully we wound up at a shopping centre and I raced to Target in the hopes I'd find it, and I did! God, the things we remember. I played that album end-to-end all the way back home and that's when it hit me. There was a disconnect, and it kinda floored me. I'd never had to work at a Janet release before. What was I missing? The title track was great, the subsequent singles were too. But why wasn't I in love with this album? I still don't have the answer. I can say I love it a lot more than I did back then, but there's still something I can't quite put my finger on when it comes to AFY. Certain tracks stand really well on their own ('You Ain't Right' shits, 'Trust a Try', 'Better Days' are highlights), but overall I felt then as I do now that it's the first time I've felt underwhelmed by a Janet Jackson album. A sadder realisation was finding out it wouldn't be the last.
Damita Jo, 20 Y.O. and Discipline are in my collection for the simple fact that I'm a fan for life. It's hard to imagine yourself on the other side of a fanbase when the experience is pretty much lifelong, but if I were a casual or non-listener I don't think anything aside from 'All Nite' or 'Feedback' would've prompted me to pick those albums up. Like any fan would, I will admit to loving them upon release because, well, there's nothing quite like new music from your favourite artist and everything's great when it's brand new. I can't honestly say I'm not affected by the dark cloud that's hovered over her career since you know what, but I trust in my taste enough to know when I hear something that's uninspired and not living up to potential you KNOW is there. I think every bad album has at least one moment of greatness and I've definitely found that in the Janet albums I'm not too fond of. I guess my fear is that it continues with each release. I want nothing more than another great Janet Jackson album, and we know better than anyone that she's got the goods to give us one.

♫♫♫All my life I've waited
To see your smile again...♫♫♫
Posted 17 September 2012 - 09:49 PM
* This is the first album I remember listening to constantly, because it is so personal and there are so many message throughout it, with each listen, you take something else from it. It's so off track, so different from what released at that time, and a HUGE surprise from her. It wasn't full of lifeless and meaningless love songs, each track has it's own personality and journey. The Velvet Rope is Janet's masterpiece, a triumphant and soul stirring work of art!!
2. Rhythm Nation 1814 - Come Back To Me
* Rhythm Nation wins because of it's iconic imagery, ground breaking sound/music videos, and the live tour, which translate extremely well when played in concert. This is the album that made me fall in love with dance and choreography, which is pretty ironic since my favorite tracks are the last three - all ballads. But whatever vision Janet and her team set out to create, it worked wonderfully.
3. janet. - 70's Love Groove
* This is an album that gets better with time. Janet got FUNKY, DOWN, and DIRTY. I could play any track from this album and it instantly puts a smile on my face. The sensuality works because she's not being filthy or crude, there's a curiousity, innocence, and playful manner with how she works it. This album makes me want to dance, relax on the beach, make passionate love, and dance some more.
4. Damita Jo - Moist
* Damita Jo's appeal to me is that it's the "janet." album, except it's more emphasis on lust rather than romantic love. Sex has already been a constant theme in much of Janet's music, but it seemed as if she was sharing her sexual rennaisance and newfound joy of intercourse. She puts it out there, with absolutely no boundaries or filter, which is a pretty bold move, considering we live in a world where the majority are so conservative about sex. But Janet explores her sex-positivity and yes, the album is incoherent, long, and slightly erratic, but there's no better way she could have delivered it.
5. All For You - China Love
* An album that has grown on me, completely. I enjoy her honesty, her horniness, the hooks, the lyrics, and the flow. There's a peaceful, relaxing place I go to whenever I listen to it from start to finish. While there are a few tracks I always skip, the haunting sounds of "Better Days" always leave me feeling excited and energized.
6. Janet Jackson - Come Give Your Love To Me
* GROOVES!!!! I absolutely adore this album. It's cute, funky, and addictive. While it's not as great as the top 3, I do like every track on the album, which is something I can't say about most albums, period.
7. Control - Nasty
* Control is ranked low only because as I've grown up, I've gotten tired of hearing the songs. "Nasty" is the one song that I can identify with...she had something to prove with that song and it has this winning combination of hard hitting beats, sassy lyrics, don't give a damn attitude, and a hot video!
8. 20 Y.O. - Enjoy
* While I think 20 Y.O. is consistent with it's sound and flow from start to finish, it almost feels incomplete, like there's a piece of the puzzle missing. Obviously, this piece I'm referring to is "Roll Witchu"...that song is what makes a perfect blend of classic Janet and modern music, absolutely orgasmic.
9. Discipline - Never Letchu Go
* Discipline is cold, brash, and blunt. It's kind of all over the place. With time, it leaves less of an impact on me. I do enjoy "Feedback", "Luv", "Can't B Good", "Never Letchu Go", "2Nite", and "So Much Betta" the most.
10. Dream Street - All My Love To You
* This album is cute and funky, but it suffers from 80's cheese syndrome. "Don't Stand Another Chance" is definitely one of her better and underrated singles. I think much of the songs stand better on their own rather than as an album.

Posted 26 September 2012 - 11:56 AM
I think the first time I really listened to Janet was around 8 years ago when I discovered my mother's Design of a Decade cd and wore it out. It wasn't until probably the Discipline era, however, that I became a die hard fan. Similar to Twisted, I can't see myself ever having another artist above her. Everything about her resonates deeply within in me. I not only listen to her music, I feel like I know who she is (which is hard for cynical non-fans to understand). The similarities between us are numerous. She is my soul mate. I love her more than some of the people in my life.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 06:57 PM

Then sometime after AFY came out, I got into her older material also & I was just blown. The layers of this woman's voice/vocals, her performing energy, attitude, growth, depth, class. Then her beauty MY GOD!!!! Her smile is what inspired God to create all things beautiful in this world. (Her & Tina Turner's smiles>>>>>)
For a while, there were no other female artist I ever gave time to. I've grown & let most in, but Janet has & will always remain #1.

Discipline is weird because I always forget about it...Then feedback or rock with u comes on and I'm like oh yeah this my song!
Discipline is literally the only album and era I forget (not on a regular basis, but just every now & then) like it just came and went so fast. I'd forget 20Y.O. more if I didn't like Enjoy, Take Care & Do It To Me so much and listen to those on a regular basis. Where's theres virtually no song on Discipline I listen to on a regular basis.

What the Congress did was punt by passing legislation appointing a Base Relocation and Closing Commission (BRAC) which would present to the Congress a full slate of which bases should close, which should stay, and which should be expanded which the Congress could accept or reject in total.
I'm not at all certain about the Constitutionality of this extra-Congressional activity, but its been going on since 1988 and no one has raised the issue.
The 2010 version of the U.S. Congress cannot bring itself to cut any amount from any program whether that program makes sense or not and so they are allowing Barack Obama to appoint people to do it for them.
Here's my suggestion. For every year that the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform is in business, every Member of the U.S. House, U.S. Senate; every staff member and every employee of, and contractor to, the Legislative Branch should have their pay reduced by 15 percent.
If that $4.6 billion is correct that will save taxpayers a touch under $700 million a year. Ever year. In an era of multi-trillion-dollar budgets that might be a drop in the bucket; but it will be coming out of the buckets of the people who are supposed to be making the tough decisions, but who aren't tough enough to make them.
If Members of the House and Senate won't do the job we're paying them to do, we'll pay them less to do the job they are doing.

Elim in the Old TestamentElim was the second encampment of the Israelites after crossing the Red Sea from Egypt. It was a contrast to the previous camp called "Marah" because of the bitterness of the waters, for there "were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm trees" (Ex 15:27; 16:1; Nu 33:9 f). The traditional site is an oasis in Wady Ghurundel, circa 63 miles from Suez.

To date, the highwater mark is the sale of a PCGS-certified example that brought $27,600 in a 2010 Stack's auction. The proofs of this date complement a low mintage of 16,001 circulation strikes, typical of this decade when the Philadelphia Mint was concentrating on half eagles and eagles at the expense of quarter eagles and double eagles for circulation. The surfaces of this Gem Cameo proof are vivid lemon-yellow, sharply detailed, and deeply mirrored with strong field-device contrast. There is a slight orange-peel effect visible. The only surface disturbance is a shallow planchet flake near the obverse rim between stars 5 and 6 which will serve as a reliable pedigree identifier.

KIIS 1065 (official callsign 2WFM) is a commercial FM radio station in Sydney, Australia and is owned by the Australian Radio Network (ARN). The station was formerly known as 2UW, broadcasting on 1107 kHz AM, before converting to FM in 1994.
The station, now known as KIIS, began life as 2UW, commencing transmission on 13 February 1925 on 1125 kHz on the AM band. On 1 September 1935, the frequency changed to 1110 kHz and in 1978 changed again to 1107 kHz.[2][citation needed] 2UW was the home of many live radio plays and had studios for live programmes at Market Street in Sydney, near the intersection with George Street.
The management of 2UW moved the station to 365 Kent Street Sydney although for a time they retained the Market Street live audience theatre that had been used for live plays. One of its early breakfast presenters, Russ Walkington, had a character known as Gerald the Grasshopper who pre-dated Sammy Sparrow who appeared on 2UE with Gary O'Callaghan.
From the early 1960s, 2UW moved away from its older audience and actively pursued the youth market through the introduction of a Top 40 format in response to the music coming from the United States and Great Britain and to provide a vehicle for the up-and-coming Australian local rock scene.
2UW was one of the most innovative AM radio stations in Australia during the mid-1960s through to the early 1970s thanks to the programming of Ray Bean. Ray introduced the NEW2UW '1110' men comprising announcers John Melouney (breakfast), John Thompson (morning), Tony McLaren (afternoon), Ward "Pally" Austin (drive time), Rod Christopher (early evening), and Jeff Hall (late nights and Dial A Hit on Saturday nights). They were later joined by 'Baby' John Burgess, Donnie Sutherland, Phil Hunter, Gary Stewart, Graham Sawyer and a range of others who took Top 40 radio to a new level as part of the NEW2UW format being broadcast from the Kent Street studios in Sydney. The '1110 men' also took their music to the streets with promotions in such places as beaches, parks and shopping centres. One of the most successful promotions was the NEW2UW studio at the Sydney Royal Easter Show at the old RAS showgrounds at Moore Park. This provided a unique opportunity for the radio stations stars to mingle with their listeners. In 1969 the NEW2UW managed to lure announcer John Laws from his drive time slot at 2UE and gave Laws his first morning programme in Sydney radio which was an immediate success, but also brought much confusion to the audience as the radio station went through a series of breakfast announcers and format changes which sought to capitalise on the success of the John Laws programme, while trying to hang on its huge audience - many of whom were not ready for the introduction of talk-back radio by their beloved NEW2UW.
The NEW2UW had a close association with the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph and operated a news service from its own Kent Street studios and a news studio in the Daily Telegraph Building in Park Street Sydney when the Telegraph papers were owned by Sir Frank Packer. The NEW2UW newsroom was operated by Don Rodgers a newspaper journalist who served Prime Ministers Chifley and Curtin during the Second World War as their press secretary. Don's style was very much in the mould of newspaper reporting, but he instilled in his staff the fundamentals of accuracy and clarity in their reporting.
Mix 106.5[edit]
2UW was one of two Sydney AM radio stations to be successful in bidding for the right to convert to FM, and on 30 April 1994 commenced transmission on 106.5 MHz on the FM band.[3] The 1107 kHz frequency is now assigned to SBS Radio.
The familiar 2UW call sign was now broadcasting as Mix 106.5, adopting its name and logo from the United States. The only announcer to be kept from when he joined the station in 1979, through the transitions of 1107 2UW (1979), The New2UW (1981), Magic 11 (1984), the return of 1107 2UW (1984), Classic Hits 2UW (1986), and the conversion to the original MIX106.5 (post 1994) was Trevor Sinclair. The official callsign became 2WFM (though this was not used on-air). During the 1994 relaunch, MIX 106.5 had Sydney's Best Mix from the '70s, '80s and '90s (the format is now used by Classic Hits Network and smoothfm). From 2000 the slogan was replaced by Sydney's Best Mix from the '80s, '90s and now.
In 2004, Mix 106.5 went with a revamp of the station in conjunction with new shows and music demographic and among those changes was the new slogan Sydney. Feel Good. In 2010, Mix 106.5 went with a revamp of the station in conjunction with new shows and music demographic. Among those changes was the new slogan Sydney's Fresh Mix. On 20 December 2010, the station revived its slogan and genre to Sydney's Best Mix of the '80s, '90s and Now, with the return of Love Songs during the day.
In 30 January 2013, MIX 106.5 had a major revamp with the slogan, preamble and format, changing its name to Sydney's Widest Variety Of Music From The '90s to Now, playing music from the '90s onwards. Adding to the major changes came a new breakfast show fronted by Sami Lukis & Yumi Stynes along with Rosso on Drive.
KIIS 106.5[edit]
In November 2013, the Kyle & Jackie O breakfast show departed rival 2DayFM. ARN announced that The Kyle & Jackie O Show would be moving to a rebranded KIIS 106.5.[4] With the announcement came speculation that the station would be rebranded as KIIS FM. On 8 December 2013, ARN announced that it would be rebranded Mix 106.5 to KIIS 1065, with Kyle & Jackie O taking over the morning slot and syndicating their evening version of their programme to ARN's sister Mix stations.[5]
Shortly after the name change was announced, Melbourne narrowcaster Kiss FM launch the "Kiss Off ARN" campaign, stating that ARN's new branding was a breach of their trademark, and that the station would be pursuing legal action.[6] However, in February 2014, the two parties reached a "confidential agreement", and the issue never made it to court.[7]
In November 2014, a 30 second ad on KIIS in breakfast cost $1225 and in drive cost $895 (with KIIS holding a 9.8% and 8.4% share respectively in these slots at the time).[8] Also in November, parent company Australian Radio Network announced that former Nova 100 breakfast team Hughesy & Kate will replace Rosso on Drive in 2015.[9][10] The show commenced on 27 January 2015, anchored by former 90.9 Sea FM and 2DayFM announcer Matty Acton.[11][12]

Since 1912, a veterinary diagnostic service has existed at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. In the 1970's the New York State Legislature enacted laws that authorized the Commissioner of Agriculture to contract operation of a veterinary diagnostic laboratory at Cornell University. In 1974, funds were appropriated for the construction of the existing Diagnostic Laboratory building within the College of Veterinary Medicine complex. The State law that governs the creation and operation of a veterinary diagnostic service at Cornell University was amended in 2001 to include the following language:
S 73-b. The New York state veterinary diagnostic laboratory.
- The commissioner is authorized to establish and maintain, by contract or otherwise, a New York state veterinary diagnostic laboratory and to contract for other diagnostic services, as he or she may deem necessary or beneficial, to improve the health of food and fiber producing animals, companion animals, sport and recreational animals, exotic animals and wildlife.
- The New York state veterinary diagnostic laboratory shall:
- Evaluate domestic and wild animal populations for evidence of disease agents that may cause human disease;
- Maintain capability to respond to disease outbreaks in animals;
- Establish diagnostic testing capabilities to establish herd health status and evaluation of disease programs;
- Support disease surveillance and monitoring programs of domestic, zoo and wild animals;
- Support veterinarians by analyzing and interpreting samples obtained from clinical cases; and
- Evaluate, adjust and improve New York's ability to recognize diseases that impact animal populations.
Currently the AHDC employs over 200 professionals, including faculty in tenure and non-tenure track positions. The AHDC serves over 5,000 registered veterinary practices or organizations from all 50 states of the United States and several foreign countries. The AHDC is one of the most comprehensive veterinary diagnostic laboratories in the country, receiving over 150,000 submissions per year that generate over 1 million individual tests a year. All these activities generate an enormous number of informal and formal interactions with Center clientele and other stakeholders of our services. All these combined activities represent significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of society in general as well as the protection of the economic wellbeing of the animal industries and animal populations of the State of New York and the nation as a whole.
The impact of providing an effective surveillance and early disease detection for the State of New York is significant. When it comes to animal production economics, the estimate is that the dairy and animal production provided $1.87 billion to farmers in 2002. That accounts for 60 percent of all cash receipts. Milk sales account for over one-half of total agricultural receipts, with 12.2 billion pounds, at a value of $1.56 billion. New York livestock producers marketed 211 million pounds of meat animals during 2002, bringing in $116 million in cash receipts. Sales from cattle and calves accounted for $108 million, hogs and pigs returned $6.4 million and sheep and lambs provided $2.0 million. The economic impact of a disease event in the companion or on the wildlife sectors is much more difficult to quantify. However, the State of New York has a large population of companion animals (dogs, cats, horses, birds, camelids and other pets) that live in proximity to their owners. In addition, there are increasing opportunities for interaction between humans companion animals and wildlife species throughout the state and the nation. Such interactions increase the possibility of transmission of diseases from animals to humans and vice versa; increasing the possibility of emerging disease situations if/when diseases jump across species.
At the national level, the AHDC has been selected as a full member of the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN). This network of state veterinary diagnostic laboratories provides expanded surveillance and diagnostic capabilities for the early detection of serious animal diseases caused by either natural or intentional (bioterrorism) sources. The AHDC is just one of seven NAHLN laboratories providing a full range of services in testing for diseases like Foot-and-Mouth Disease, Classical Swine Fever, Avian Influenza, Newcastle Disease, Chronic Wasting Disease, Scrapie, and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy ("Mad Cow Disease"). An outbreak of any of these diseases would have very serious economic, social, public health and political ramifications for the entire country.
The AHDC is accredited by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD). The AAVLD Essential Requirements for accreditation incorporate the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) guidelines for veterinary laboratories. These standards are largely derived from the ISO/IEC 17025-1999 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The AHDC has implemented a Quality System to the management and technical requirements specified by the AAVLD. Such a quality assurance program is essential for the laboratory itself as well as the clients that rely on the results from the laboratory. In addition, the Quality Milk Production Services (QMPS) section of the AHDC is ISO17025 accredited for mastitis culture methods, the first such accreditation in the US.

German carrier Air Berlin plans to decide by October whether to retrofit sharklets to its existing Airbus A320s.
The airline is evaluating the potential benefits of modifying the aircraft with the fuel-saving wing tip device. This could, in theory, affect up to 63 aircraft. But Felix Genze, vice-president performance improvement at Air Berlin, cautions that the airline's older A320s would require wing-structure reinforcement for the sharklet installation.
He adds that the airline does not believe Airbus's calculations that the replacement of the existing wing-tip fences with sharklets will improve fuel efficiency by 4%. Air Berlin wants to decide "over the summer" if - and how many - A320s will be retrofitted with the equipment, he says.
Meanwhile, the German carrier is pursuing a range of other initiatives to cut fuel consumption, having earlier this year introduced fuel auditors to inspect aircraft for aerodynamic inefficiencies.
This covers, for example, looking for areas of peeling paint, deteriorated seals and sealants, and rigging deficiencies such excessive gaps around flight-control surfaces.
Air Berlin uses a tablet for the inspection with dedicated software that has been written by one of the airline's pilots in co-operation with the technical university in the German capital. The programme is based on aircraft performance data provided by the manufacturers.
The dedicated inspections allowed quantification of aerodynamic versus engine performance losses in the overall performance deterioration of ageing aircraft, he says.

Rai Raya Rai Venkata Rao was born in Coombaconum in Madras Presidency to Gundo Pant in a Thanjavur Marathi family. He was educated in the Madras Presidency and on completion of his education, joined the service of the British.
Public life[edit]
Venkata Rao served as the Head Sheristadar to the Chief Commissioner of Mysore from 1834 to 1838 and as Assistant Chief Commissioner of Mysore from 1840 to 1842. In 1842, he was appointed Diwan of Hyderabad and served till 1843, when he returned to Bangalore due to ill-health.
Diwan of Travancore[edit]
In 1819, Venkata Rao joined the Travancore state service as an assistant to Col. McDowall, the British resident. He impressed the Queen-regent of Travancore, by his abilities and was soon appointed Diwan Peishkar or Governor of one of the divisions of the Travancore kingdom. During his tenure as Diwan Peishkar, Venkata Rao repaired and refurbished the Padmanabhaswamy temple in Trivandrum and modified the dress codes of the sepoys.
In 1821, when the Diwan, Reddy Rao accepted a jagir of two villages from the queen,it created a scandal in the kingdom forcing him to resign. Venkata Rao was selected to replace him with the support of the British resident.
On taking office, Venkata Rao immediately waived taxes. He set up his base at Quilon and organised a number of irrigation works. The Kadinangulam backwaters were created during his tenure.
Venkata Rao fell ill in 1843 and died in Bangalore in July 1843.
Venkata Rao was given the title "Rai Raaya Rai" in 1838 in recognition of his services to the Crown.

Then and Now: Boerwinkle and the Bulls
Wednesday's passing of Tom Boerwinkle coinciding with the arrival of the streaking Miami Heat brought to mind intersecting challenges of Bulls teams past and present.
Back in the early 70's, as a kid growing up listening to and watching those teams through the likes of Jack Brickhouse, Jim Durham, and Andy Musser, the obstacle in the Bulls' way was always the Los Angeles Lakers – in 1971, `72, and `73. And it seemed the big difference in the Bulls' Chicago grit versus the loaded Lakers was in the middle, where Wilt Chamberlain tormented an opponent that couldn't quite match up in the middle. One of those Lakers teams is still holding the NBA record winning streak of 33 games that the Heat's trying to chase down. Like those L.A. teams then, Miami stood in the way of the Bulls' title hopes two years ago, but we can only guess whether they would've done the same with a healthy Derrick Rose last spring, or this year. Different scenarios, yes, but playoff roadblocks nonetheless.
[MORE: Former Bulls center Tom Boerwinkle passes away at the age of 67]
Even when the Bulls finally avoided the Lakers in 1974, it was another big man in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Milwaukee who helped knock them out in the Western Conference Finals. Depth was another huge issue on those Bulls teams, but more times than not, much of the blame turned to Dick Motta's men in the middle: Boerwinkle, Cliff Ray, Dennis Awtrey. And even when the Bulls got Nate Thurmond from Golden State the following season, Ray, Rick Barry and the Warriors denied them a trip to NBA Finals in a cruel twist.
While I never got to know Boerwinkle personally as my access to the team grew professionally, I'd always been told what a quality person he was. What got lost in who Boerwinkle wasn't as a player, is who he was – even if the matchups in those playoff series weren't kind. He was the best passing big man of his time, often throwing blind, behind-the-back feeds to teammates streaking backdoor to the bucket. So good at it that he's still eighth in franchise history in assists, despite playing only 10 years. He's also still second on the all-time rebounding list, despite some talented power forwards who've come through town since. Even when Dennis Rodman came aboard for the Bulls' second three-peat, he couldn't beat Boerwinkle's single-game record of 37 rebounds in a 1970 game versus Phoenix.
It's probably good Boerwinkle didn't play in the modern day. While Twitter, other social media, and radio and television sports talk shows can serve a lot of positive (and venting) purposes, Boerwinkle unfortunately would probably find himself in the epicenter of criticism if it all existed during his time. That's unfortunate, so he's actually fortunate to have played when he did. Yeah, those Bulls teams were among several Chicago sports teams in that decade that sucked me in, then broke my heart. It actually helped me become less emotionally involved with them after awhile, and maybe sped up my pursuit of neutral-thinking journalism.
But for all the strictly-box-score analysts, there were columns where Boerwinkle impressed, others not so much. And there were plenty of centers around the NBA back then who had trouble with the likes of Jabbar and Chamberlain, much less Lanier, or Cowens, or Reed. He still wound up making the four guys around him better in his unique way, and would've had a place in the modern-day NBA, too.

I'm supposed to watch something else to review for the site today but I can't stop staring at this title in my Netflix Instant queue. Tiffany Shepis is an evil siren... (slight NSFW trailer after the jump)
"Who's Going to Stop Jack Frost" is cute in thinking I won't notice their testimonial quotes don't come with the names of anyone who actually said those things... (this just in, reading Bloody Good Horror is both "sexy and cool!") That said, the trailer looks slick for an Indie. I love what small filmmakers are doing with the hand-held HD-DSLR cameras these days. To me this is the next wave for the micro-budget film producer. Check it out and make up your own hyperbolic quotes in the comments...
(image not from the film but awesome)
You may have heard of a little indie production called 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk", the first of many films by the lovely ladies ofTwisted Twins Productions. This modern dark comedy, loaded with gory goodness has both its share of controversy and great reviews. I love the grindhouse style, and I was amazed this film lived up to the hype.
The finer points of murderous Goodyears...
I learned about this dark little indie horror film from a friend on twitter. Obviously, as a Connoisseur of Crap, the title grabbed my attention immediately, and since it's available through Netflix, I immediately added it.
Nothing completes the holidays like zombies, sex, big guns, a dwarf and cinema's first cycling zombie! And what better way to spread love and holiday cheer than by supporting indie horror? A $1.99 doesn't get you much these days: a pack of Vomit Flavored Chewing Gun, a pair of Pokemon Socks, a 6 pack of Zima, or any other stocking stuffer our Podcast Crew would enjoy.
I honestly don't know what this indie movie by Tim Davis is about, but after seeing this little synopsis, all I know is: I must see it. I saw a guy in some sort of power armor, zombies, a screaming fat chick, guns, gravestones and lots of tattooed naked people. I don't CARE what it's about, but I'm already prepared to declare it the most awesome thing I've ever seen.
The trailer is safe for work, but the website images..... not so much.
Horror fans got a one week reprieve from shelling out dough at the box office this week. That is unless you live near one of the 11 theaters that screened the Ryan Reynolds Iraq War flick "Buried," which Lionsgate rolled out to a select number of theaters on Friday. The advance word is that a full release is possible in a couple of weeks. Now, with all due warnings about ridiculously small sample size out of the way, let's look at some precedence for how things might play out for "Buried."
Is it wrong that I don't find anything creepy about the main charter in the new film "Catfish"? Sometime you've just got to find a girl on Facebook, start putting yourself in pictures with her and eventually drive across the country to surprise her in the middle of the night. Sounds romantic to me. And to the rest of America apparently because this film is blowing up everywhere. Apparently even Kelly Ripa wants to see it. She's my favorite of all the Ripa's!
Whenever I sit down to review low-budget independent horror movies, especially those released by cult distributor Brain Damage Films, I make an honest, concentrated effort not to hold them to the same standards as their Hollywood-generated brethren. Less-than-stellar acting, wonky direction, and cheap special effects are almost always par for the course, and for the most part, they're relatively easy to overlook. Assuming, of course, that the project in question comes packaged with a decent story and a director who understands the limitations of his budget.

Florentines liked to grab a quick bite to eat at this narrow little sandwich shop near the Uffizi and now, too, does everyone else: word is out, the lines are long, and clog the street. A handful of stools offer places to perch while devouring one of their very fine sandwiches; most folks, however, simply grab a sandwich, pour themselves a glass of inexpensive wine in a paper cup (more serious wines can be poured into glasses), and mingle on the pedestrians-only street in front. If porchetta (a very rich, deliciously fatty roasted pork) is on offer, don't miss it. They also offer first-rate primi, which change daily.

|I purchased the Lund Interceptor Bug Shield for my 2015 Chev Colorado. Overall, the installation was fairly simple-- I took my time, and followed the instructions sheet. Instad of using a grease pencil for pre-marking the placement of the adhesive strips, I used a black Sharpie (marks were on the underside of the hood anyway!). The Bug Shield has a nice, somewhat sleek, low-profile appearance. I'm very happy with it, worth the cost.

|This was a replacement for the original one I purchased in 2001. Original one had Ford logo stamped on edge of shield and fit closer to hood, this one has Lund logo emblem on right side. This one is raised higher off hood. A plus is that the original had small buttons stuck on hood so it did not contact hood. The new one still does not distract from view over hood. Both have "ears" sticking around outside of hood, believe someone caught ear and broke original. Lasted for 13 years!

|New Ford F-250. Didn't know how this would look as the front grill is almost like a bug shield in itself. But it looks great, easy to install and enhances the look of the front end. Also great protection for the hood on either side of the grill. I would recommend to Ford truck owners.

|The instructions were pretty vague, my shield would not stay down with the double sided tape provided, however on my 2014 Tundra I had put it on the Chrome Grill and not the painted part on the hood itself, after taking it off because it was not staying put and also pulling my chrome piece loose. I am going to try and redo it,taping it down to the painted portion of the hood.

Croatian Dairy Farmers protest against the Dukat (Lactalis) Dairy's Dumping Prices
Hamm/Zagreb, 17.02.2012: In Croatia a conflict had been smouldering since the beginning of the year between the dairy farmers and the Lactalis dairy Dukat that escalated last week.
After the Dukat dairy's unilateral announcement of cutting the farm-gate price for milk from the previous 2.67 kuna to 2.3 kuna (about 30 cents) per kilo of raw milk, in January the milk producers of the EMB member organisation HSUPM entered into negotiations with the dairy and the Ministry of Agriculture, but the talks were stopped a few days ago without any result.
Even the previous 2.67 kuna price paid to milk producers by no means covered their costs. These are about 4.09 kuna (52 cents). Yet the dairy is not prepared to revert to the old price, which the producers vehemently demand. Dukat's argument is that the cheap imported milk from Bosnia and Serbia results in the retail price of milk in the supermarket being only 3.90 kuna (51 cents), and so it cannot pay a higher price.
The roughly 14,000 milk producers in Croatia produce 600 million litres of milk a year, which covers only 50% of national demand. The other 50% is imported.
What makes the situation particularly problematical for the milk producers is that the Minister of Agriculture has just cut state support payments by a third. So the farmers are under severe financial pressure from this side, too.
That is why on Thursday, 7 February, milk producers from all over the country drove their tractors to the dairy in Zagreb to organise a warning campaign. For two days between 50 and 100 tractors have been parked in the central car park outside the dairy, where they were then corralled by the police. Although the access roads to the production sites were clear, Dukat used the alleged blockade as an excuse to stop collecting milk from the producers.
Yet the protest seems to be showing initial signs of success. The Police have manifestly withdrawn their strong presence and are now just monitoring the situation, and Dukat announced early today that it was resuming its milk collections.
But scheduled talks with the ministry have since been called off by the official side and the situation still remains very uncertain for the Croatian dairy farmers.
The European Milk Board backs the HSUPM's demand for a cost-covering price and wishes the milk producers good luck and every success for the outcome of the negotiations.

Selfies, followers, likes and the fascination with celebrity anythings (chefs, decorators, stylists, authors, etc.) are just a few of the ways that today's society focuses attention on individuals. It's not enough to be a great chef - it's better to be a celebrity chef. It's not enough to participate in an event - it's better to snap a selfie of yourself at the event and then post it online for all to see.
During the early years of the Reagan administration, a Washington news conference was held for me for my first book, "The State Against Blacks." Before making summary statements about the book, I offered the reporters assembled that they could treat me like a white person. They could ask me hard, pressing questions. They could demand proof of the arguments that I was making.
"The difference between Bush's mistakes and his disappointments may just be that he hasn't yet taken ownership of the latter," Massimo Calabresi wrote in Time as he covered President George W. Bush's final press conference in January of 2009. Four years earlier, left-wing journalist John Dickerson had begun a trend among the Bush White House press corps, demanding from the president a recognition of his mistakes.
Political reporters seem to enjoy the game of politics far more than the substance of issues. But recent Supreme Court rulings on the president's health care law, campaign finance reform and other topics may force a fundamental issue into the 2016 election. Upcoming rulings on same-sex marriage, immigration and another health care case will add fuel to the fire.
I have been trying to figure out what to do with my free time now that I have decided not to run for President of the United States (or what's left of it.) Some of you wrote and asked me to reconsider my decision. I am humbled by your pledges of support but I don't want to broach the subject again with the Woman Who Shares My Name. She has access to a lot of broccoli and says she know where she can get more. I had best leave that alone.
Occasionally, I wonder whether I'm alone in some of my wonderings. Look at the claim that conservatives or Republicans have launched a war on women as a part of their overall mean-spirited agenda. In the case of mistreatment of women - or of anyone else - assault, rape and murder are about as horrible as it gets. But I would be willing to bet a lot of money that most of the assaults, rapes and murders of women are done by people who identify as liberals or Democrats, particularly in the cases of murderers.

Dear Public School Teachers in Georgia:
A surreal moment passed for me this week with several press reports about presidential candidates heading to Atlanta in August this year.

They had been online collaborators among the Republican grassroots for six years without ever having met face to face.
It's mid-May and time for celebrating graduations. It's a time to look back on accomplishments and, more importantly, to look forward to new phases and opportunities in life.
American government - at all levels - is losing the legitimacy it needs to function. Or, perhaps, some segments of the government have already lost it.
Last week in Garland, Texas, a lady named Pamela Geller sponsored an event about Islam, a component of which included drawing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. While Muslims in prior centuries painted Mohammed and some Muslims still think it is OK to draw Mohammed, most Muslims around the world condemn the drawing of any image purporting to be the likeness of Mohammed.
Before we examine the issue of police shootings of blacks, I would like to start the conversation with another question. Here it is: If a person chooses to stand on railroad tracks in the face of an oncoming train, who is responsible for his being run over? And if many people meet their maker this way, what would you recommend as the best way to reduce such deaths? Would you focus most of your efforts on train engineers, or would you counsel people not to stand on railroad tracks in the face of an oncoming train?
Fires burn in our embassies overseas, mobs burn our flag and murder American dignitaries. The positions taken by our government, the reporting to the people and the response to those countries where these actions have taken place are totally unacceptable.
With the vote on the charter school amendment just over a month away, the heat is getting intense. I know. I have felt it. I wrote a column a few weeks ago giving the pro-charter folks an opportunity to make their case for the amendment.

I own a sewing machine. My husband gave it to me as a Christmas gift just after we married so it must be more than 40 years old. It still works, but I have cracked the presser foot and the top of the machine is a bit dented. I have also broken off the back-up button. But it still works just fine.

Now, at least, there can be no doubt about who is waging class warfare in this presidential campaign.

He sees nearly half of all Americans as chumps who sit around waiting for a handout.
Mitt Romney's comments about 47 percent of Americans being dependent on government and locked in to vote for President Obama highlight a fundamental reality in American politics today: The gap between the American people and the political class is bigger than the gap between Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C.
The challenge for modern-day campaigns is that the rapid speed of the news cycle ensures that new news is created on a daily basis, even when it is not really news. Blame the hunger for something novel and fresh that can eat up time on the 24-hour cable news channels.
There's nothing like being away to restore one's body and soul. We were away just last week in somewhat familiar parts of Maine and New Hampshire, itself a brand new experience.

When the gavel bangs to open the 2013 session of the Georgia General Assembly, I would suggest the first order of business be to have Willie Nelson serenade our solons with "The Party's Over."

One year, it was decided that we would not keep official attendance in our roll books; we would mark attendance and tardies on a Scantron form for each class period. In other words, we would bubble in who was tardy and absent on ...
The courthouse is a wealth of information for family research. Just like newspapers, court records tell us how our ancestors lived.
A teacher told me this week, "If only students remembered lessons as well as commercials."
The health care debate is a great example of why Americans hate politics.

Penguins don't knowingly collect sports memorabilia; turtles don't collect stamps; and I've yet to meet a dog who owned any artwork - not even an acrylic-on-velvet painting of a fire hydrant.
