Washington on guns
George Washington, in the first State of the Union Address (1790) said: "A free people ought ... to be armed." That's post-Revolution, before the Second Amendment.
But, in full: "A free people ought not only to be armed but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well digested plan is requisite." Well-regulated militia?
Also: "To the security of a free Constitution [knowledge] contributes in various ways ... teaching the people themselves to know, and to value their own rights; to discern and provide against invasions of them; to distinguish between oppression and the necessary exercise of lawful authority; between burthens proceeding from a disregard to their convenience, and those resulting from the inevitable exigencies of society; to discriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness, cherishing the first, avoiding the last, and uniting a speedy, but temperate vigilance against encroachments, with an inviolable respect to the laws."
George Washington would definitely protect children from mass murder in schools. An "exigency of society" requiring "temperate vigilance." Not barking-mad, selfish absolutism. Temperate. Of course, Wayne LaPierre doesn't know the meaning of that word.
"A well digested plan is requisite."
The "Bill of Responsibilities."

What is NRA?
I am confused as to what the National Rifle Association is. I thought its purpose was to help hunters and firearms users and promote their opportunity to pursue their hobby.
A member of Congress was shot in Arizona, and several other innocent people were killed. Tucson, the site of this tragedy, recently held a voluntary gun "buy back." The idea is straightforward: Deposit a weapon you don't want; receive a grocery voucher, and the police destroy the unwanted weapons. What's the sin in this? Well, the NRA has filed a suit to prohibit this practice, maintaining these weapons must be returned to the public at auction.
Am I to assume the guns have a soul and cannot be destroyed? Or has the leadership of the gun industry gone off the deep end? The NRA spent - "wasted" - $11 million in the last election. Its success rate was 0.08 percent. I would wonder where my dues are going and to whom!

His friends' guns
Many of my friends own guns to protect their families and their property. I support their right to own those weapons. Many of my friends own guns to engage in the sport of hunting. I support their right to own those weapons. Absolutely none of my friends own automatic, military-style, assault weapons.

Hitler and guns
The anti-gunners seem to have forgotten that they had gun registration in Germany in the 1930s. Adolf Hitler and his goons took the registration lists and rounded up the guns of all who opposed him, effectively disarming his enemies. I believe things would have been a lot different in Nazi Germany if the Jews there had been able to shoot back.

Movie, game ratings
I have a suggestion: Why not rank movies and video games with a "bullet" system, much like the "stars" used to rate films? The more "bullets," the more violent. It would allow moviegoers/game players (and their parents, in the case of children) to boycott said movies/games, and also to highlight the directors, actors, movie studios, video game companies, etc. that are responsible for these violent "entertainments."
Knowledge is power. If enough people boycott, Hollywood would get the message by a distinct lack of profit.

Proper placement?
Have we become so desensitized as a society that the California school shooting of two people be buried on the bottom of page 5? Really? While "Flu on rise" and "Stadium at UK may get upgrade" are on Friday's front page? I'm hoping this was an oversight while rushing "to put the paper to bed."

* required fields
By Sean Ahrens
I had a rare opportunity to experience my very first earthquake recently in New York City. While on the 11th floor in a client's building, a swaying motion began. I didn't initially react because I thought I was becoming woozy. About 30 seconds passed, and the woman next to me said, "Did you feel that?"
Then I remembered, I was in New York City a few weeks before the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. People were still on edge. No announcement was made by building management, and hearsay filled the room.
"It's happening again!" one woman yelled. Others pulled out their cell phones to gain any information they could, however "no service" kept appearing on phone screens. With no information, one person said "I am getting out of here." With that, an autonomous self-evacuation, outside of building management, began.
Minutes later, building management announced the message: "A vibration has been felt in the building. Please stay at your location. More information will be provided." But it was too late. The evacuation had already begun and was gaining steam. Only a few stragglers, including me, were left behind.
While seated at a desk, I was evaluating my options. A man speaking in the direction of the mass exodus indicated, "It's an earthquake. I just got off the phone with the building next door."
Soon after our floor announcement, building management announced, "A 5.8 earthquake has occurred in Virginia, please evacuate the building." This was five minutes after the event. Now that the emergency was confirmed, I thought, "Why are we evacuating?" Quickly responding to myself, "The building must not be seismically rated." I grabbed my laptop and joined the masses in the stairwell.
Post-incident, I reflected: Where was our location's floor warden? A floor warden is to assist during an emergency and verify all building occupants get out safely. Later, I would ask building occupants from other floors if they saw their floor wardens. Blindly looking at me, many said, "No." If I could speak to the floor wardens associated with this event, I would ask: "Were they there that day? Did they evacuate as a result of self-preservation, or lemming effect?"
As we moved down the stairwell with a mass of people behind us, I noticed many persons were tapping away at their cell phones, trying to make calls to gain information that I had, but they obviously did not yet hear about the earthquake.
As we rounded the corner of a landing, I heard a man say "Crap, my phone!" The clanking of plastic on concrete was an indication that he had dropped his phone. He attempted to stop, however the pure physics and mass of the people shoulder-to-shoulder on what seemed to be a 5-foot stairwell was no match for him. As he struggled to maintain his footing, he quickly realized he had to abandon his phone.
As I watched the people, it became apparent as they punched on tiny keys that, like when driving, they were not looking at each other and were unaware of their surroundings. They were simply aimlessly following the flow of persons coming down the stairs, blindly believing the person in front of them would never stop.
As we exited the building, I looked for the predetermined gathering point but the streets were flooded with people. I watched as emergency vehicles tried to navigate the cars and people that suddenly overflowed the sidewalks of the buildings near Wall Street. Every building within my periphery had evacuated, and their occupants were all standing under hundreds of thousands of pounds of glass building facade. Recognizing that there might be an aftershock, I headed for my hotel.
Fast forward several weeks, when I met with the ASIS International's Commercial Real Estate Council (CREC) in Orlando. The CREC is like a real estate security think tank geared toward safety and security. During our meeting, I brought up my perceptions of what I had seen in New York City. To my astonishment, they too had experienced the same thing.
As we "white-boarded" the concern, it became apparent that there were some lessons to be learned from this event:
1. Immediate information needs to be provided by the building management regarding what to do. Failure to provide information will lead others to provide unverified information for you.
2. More frequent drills need to be conducted, and these drills need to review multiple types of emergencies, including an earthquake. Chemical release, active shooter, and flood may also be prudent emergencies to consider.
3. Gathering points for mass evacuation from multiple buildings have to be pre-identified and communicated to building occupants. Some emergencies may require sheltering or moving away from a building – it needs to be determined how that will occur.
4. A thorough approach for physically challenged individuals needs to be reviewed. In some instances, physically challenged persons may need to reside in areas of refuge or will be the last ones taken into the stairwell.
5. Sometimes, especially in a building that is seismically rated, we need to "shelter in place," rather than huddle around a building and look toward the skies.
6. Cell phones, specifically data information, are useless in an emergency, and their use should be discouraged until persons are at a safe location. The person who I previously described could have fallen while trying to reclaim his phone and gotten himself or others trying to help him hurt. Policies and procedures need to direct persons to leave the phone in their pocket in an emergency.
7. Floor wardens, regardless of the emergency, serve an important role in an evacuation. Their role needs to be emphasized, and they need to be empowered to instruct people to stay put until told otherwise.
I am truly thankful that nothing serious happened to my fellow building occupants, and am glad that I had the opportunity to experience a real world scenario from the perspective of a training opportunity. It continues to be apparent that there are still things we can learn from crisis and how to respond.

Recently those new members joining Empower Network have been seeing an notification that they must agree to the Empower Network "Affiliate Agreement".
Empower Network Affiliate Agreement
You can view the official Affiliate Agreement here.
In reading the thing you will see that it notes that there is a $19.95 per month "affiliate fee" or something like that (I can't actually see it because I have an older account and it is only popping on the new member accounts.
What is this fee for?
Essentially this is for use of the new Empower Network eWallet which will be put in place very soon (at the time of writing this post). This eWallet will allow you to withdraw your Empower Network affiliate commissions you have earned from the sale of any Empower Network products by simply logging in a setting up a withdrawal in a manner similar to what you would do if you were taking money out of your PayPal account.
Empower Network eWallet And Affiliate Fee Explained:
This is wonderful news for the Empower Network community!
No more merchant accounts required.
No more PayPal required.
No more Alertpay required.
And this will allow all of you who are located outside the USA to get paid rapidly. See overseas members previously didn't have many options for merchant account providers for Empower Network and so were relegated to using PayPal or Alertpay. While these services work they are not optimum, especially PayPal which has policy against network and affiliate marketing transactions. Plus these 2 processors are far more expensive to use than having a merchant account would be.
Well the eWallet will be cheaper than all of them.
Future Of Empower Network
The barriers are rapidly falling away for Empower Network and this new ingredient is really going to open the flood-gates for expansion of Empower Network world-wide. After all, we've brought in about 18,000 new members in just over 3 months and that was in the face of merchant account processor issues and a major server crash. I expect that we have a couple thousand international Empower Network members who have just been hanging out waiting for this new payment solution because they recognize that the thing which makes Empower Network special and strong is something that you just are not going to find anywhere else.

off my finger tips.
Darkness engulfs you like a flame
that I have yet to tame.
That burning
stomach churning
pit of dread
that I have spread.
Across your heart
will just now start.
Your voice is weak
you barely speak.
I've taken out your fight.
I've dosed your light
My dazzling razor blades
further darken your bloody shades.
My punching
that dirty rag.
I'll keep you
here,my dear.
I've got you underground
you'll never make a sound.
Your lots of fun
my knife, my gun.
acid bath-
you feel my rath.
Your screams no more
as I walk out that door.

Boy, Is My Face Red
My apologies to hansaxel. Last week I posted this image of a room by Albert Hadley. Hansaxel queried in the comments section if the curtain fabric was Hadley as well and I blithely and lazily replied that I didn't know. While searching for an image of a different fabric today I came upon my bookmark for the previous post. The fabric is clearly identified in the caption as being the design of D.D. and Leslie Tillett. So sloppy of me. No surprise to find more information here as the charming Aesthete seems to know just every darn thing.

Thank you so much Mrs Blandings! You are definitely apologized for not remembering in the first place.
The aesthete's post is deeply interesting too, though it turns out getting this fabric would require me to fly to the US...
I am actually searching for this kind of graphic prints from the 60s and 70s and it is getting kind of obvious there is much more of this style in the US than in Europe.

Braves win NL East, beat Cubs
CHICAGO - The Atlanta Braves clinched the NL East title on Sunday, and then rode two homers by Andrelton Simmons to a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
The game was in the sixth inning when Washington lost 4-2 to Miami, giving the Braves their first division crown in eight years.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez high-fived a fan as he made his way to the dugout after a lineup change, and the celebration really picked up when Craig Kimbrel finished for his major league-best 49th save. The Braves poured out of the dugout and bullpen and jumped in a circle near the mound before retreating to the cramped visitors' clubhouse at Wrigley Field to continue the party.
Simmons hit a solo drive in the fourth and a two-run shot in the eighth, giving him 17 homers on the year.
Simmons' second career multihomer game was more than enough run support for Julio Teheran (13-8), who struck out seven over six innings of one-run ball.
UNCA men close tourney with loss
ASHEVILLE - The UNC Asheville men's soccer team lost to Georgia Southern, 1-0, on Sunday in the final game of the Asheville Invitational at Greenwood Field.
Eric Dinka scored the goal for the Eagles, who improved to 3-4. The Bulldogs also own a 3-4 record.
Radford (3-2-1) beat Howard, 2-0, in the early game Sunday. The Highlanders were the only team to win both games at the invitational and were declared champions. Howard is 0-7.
Paul Egle, a former Roberson standout, Bobby Castro and AJ Iiames made the all-tournament team for the Bulldogs.
Tide No. 1 in AP poll
NEW YORK - With most of the top teams merely tuning up, there is little movement in The Associated Press college football poll this week. Alabama remains No. 1 and the first 14 teams in the rankings held their positions from last week.
The Crimson Tide did lose some support from the media panel, dropping from 59 first-place votes last week to 56. Alabama beat Colorado State, 31-6, on Saturday in a game that was 17-6 heading into the fourth quarter.
No. 2 Oregon, which didn't play, received the remaining four first-place votes. No. 4 Ohio State was one of four ranked teams to score at least 70 points Saturday.
Clemson's Swinney suspends OL Battle
CLEMSON, S.C. - Sophomore offensive lineman Isaiah Battle will miss No. 3 Clemson's next game against Wake Forest after he was ejected for punching N.C. State defensive back Jarvis Byrd last Thursday night.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Sunday that Battle would sit when the third-ranked Tigers (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) return home to face the Demon Deacons on Saturday.

I store files in MySQL BLOB's for my online application. All uploading and downloading works fine. As I am fairly new to working with BLOB's I am unaware of the best way to retreive fileinformation of the stored BLOB. I wish to retreive what type of file it is, and if it is an image, what size it is. Is there a JDBC way of achieving this, or do I need to write the BLOB to a different JAVA object before I can read it. If so, what would be the best way of doing this?
Thank you,

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (November 22, 2012)--R&B star Chris Brown has canceled a stadium concert in Guyana after local protests over the 2009 beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna, organizers said.
Brown was billed to headline the Dec. 26 show, but he drew the ire of women's rights groups and opposition lawmakers who said Brown would not be welcome in Guyana three years after his assault of Barbadian superstar Rihanna.
Concert promoter Hits & Jams Entertainment said Thursday that Brown backed out, citing discomfort with the protests.
In 2009, Brown hit, choked and bit Rihanna during an argument in Los Angeles.
He later pleaded guilty to assault.
Since then, Brown has worked to repair his image, undergoing violence counseling and putting out a new album.
He performs a duet with Rihanna on her recently released record.

Yesterday, Trion released a screenshot of how the in-game RIFT item shop currently looks, even though it's still a work in progress. The screenshot tells us a few interesting things, however, and it also lets us preview a few of the items that will be available for purchase when our free-to-play system goes live. Thanks to the currencies and prices on-screen, we're also able to take a stab at how much things may cost in real-time dollars. A pretty dapper top hat and accompanying outfit are also previewable to the side of the screenshot.
Keep reading to take a peek!
Here's the full screenshot (click on the image to bring up the full-size version):
First off, the overall look of the item shop– unless it changes quite a bit, of course– seems to rather simple in design, which is a good sign, in my opinion. It fits with the original RIFT UI quite nicely. We're not sure what the bar and colored orbs on the top of the window represent yet. They may be tied to some type of Loyalty rank or set of tiers. The items listed are fairly standard for most cash shops, and overall, seem decent.
It also features a "Sell Grey Items" button on the very bottom, which should mean that players will be able to sell grey items anywhere in-game, since item shops tend to be accessible everywhere. This is a pretty decent design if you ask me. It not only makes life easier for us while we're out in the world, but it also gives players a reason to open up the item shop. While selling grey items, players may also see a cool cosmetic item to purchase. Presumably, that's the intent behind the addition.
Either way, I'd take a feature like that over the standard use of massive shop ads everywhere in-game any day. Speaking of which, Daglar mentioned on the forums yesterday that huge in-game ads are not something the team is considering, which is definitely a step in the right direction.
We can also garner a likely pricing system for how much Credits may cost us through this screenshot. The top item listed is a 30-day Patron Pass, which is essentially one month of a subscription. We know that the subscription fee isn't changing, so we can equate that pass to costing $15. Since it costs 2400 Credits, we can do a little math and come up with a figure of 160 Credits for $1.00. This figure may change, of course, but looking at the prices on the other items in the shop, it seems about right.
The intact preview tab is nice to see, and the previewed outfit isn't too bad shabby either. Top hats are always in season. Elrar also showed us this lovely outfit on a female model that's kind of an awesome mix of typical fantasy wardrobe and something a little more steampunk:
While the jury's still out for many players on how they feel about RIFT's F2P move overall, it's great to see an early preview of the in-game shop and begin to see what direction Trion is taking the model.

WSJ to charge for mobile news in 1-2 months
updated 06:10 pm EDT, Tue September 15, 2009
WSJ mobile to go to pay system
The Wall Street Journal will start asking those using the mobile version of its news to pay for the privilege, newspaper owner and News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch warned today. Although the company currently offers its phone-optimized version for free, a new plan launching within "one to two months" will ask non-subscribers to any WSJ edition to pay $2 per week for mobile access. Those who pay for either the online or print editions will have the rate cut in half, and only those who subscribe to both will get the mobile format for free.
It's unclear whether it will apply to all delivery methods right away, though the most immediate targets are likely to be both a BlackBerry-friendly version as well as the native iPhone app. The newspaper has often hinted that the iPhone version in particular may not remain free but has never set out definite plans until today.
Murdoch admitted that the climate for ad-supported online content was "much better" but justified the move as a push to generate more revenue from the usually low-revenue, but now more popular, mobile space.
The paper has in recent years been one of the few to charge for access to much of its content online and has been relatively successful in the process. Although major competitors like the New York Times have been relatively successful with a completely free model, many others have struggled or at times collapsed altogether as the ad revenue from online has often not been enough to make up for rapidly dropping subscriber numbers for the physical publication.
Larger publishers like Hearst have considered making their own e-book readers as an alternative to Murdoch's model, as it would keep users on paid subscriptions but with the added conveniences of online delivery.

"I decided I was gonna give stand up a shot. I had no idea what to do or where to go. I asked around town and LA Stand-Up's kept being recommended so I decided to give it a shot. Wow so glad I did. Joe gave me the platform, tools and knowledge I needed. This was the best thing I could have done for my comedy writing and career. Since taking Joe's class I've become a paid comic working with Chris Delia, Marc Maron, Bill Burr, and performing over 600 shows my first year! I wish I worked with Joe 5 years ago. Thanks Joe, you rock." - Dean Delray
"Joe is so much more than a teacher, he is truly a mentor who cares about the people he helps. Amazing in his ability to provide an effective class that helped transform my writing. He also gives creative insights that spark your imagination and enthusiasm for writing stand up comedy."- Jeannette Rizzi
Joe's class is a necessity if you think you want to do stand-up. He knows stand-up inside and out, and knows what he's talking about (just look at the guy's resume). Joe pushed me past the "happy, ha-ha let's joke about cats" and got me to dive into deeper material and edit it into something actually funny. He emphasizes the basics that separate the good comics from the not-so-good and sets up a perfect foundation for great joke writing. He's very generous in working with material that you send him as well. I've taken the class twice and may take it again. - Peter Marr
Over my 10 years in Los Angeles I have spent thousands on various performing workshops, classes and coaches and the 6 classes I had with Joe produced more results than all of those put together. It's a long story but I had completely given up on performing and never intended to return to a stage, but got bored and decided to try stand up. No way would I have come so far so quickly without Joe's help. I know I am very far from becoming a pro but I am inspired and cannot wait to take the stage again (which I will be doing along with my classmates at The Comedy Store, thanks to Joe) Plus, me and a few of my classmates have started a stand up writer's group!
- Jenna McQuestion
"Joe teaches students what they need to know about stand up comedy from "A - Z," everything from finding you own original comic persona to mic technique. This class will definitely speed up your ability to write funny material, and gives you a strong foundation that will stay with you forever."
"I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Joe. Our graduation show at the Improv was such fun, there was such solidarity with our class. You made us all feel confident, you brought out the best in each of us, and you were right there to cheer us on. My family and friends had a spectacular time. I enjoyed it all. We all did. How lucky we are to have found your class. You are an inspiration!"- Pam Wick
"Wanna write/perform comedy? Take Joe's class!
I've had friends take comedy classes and they all tell me the same thing. The instructor tells you how to write jokes the way they think a joke should be written. Joe doesn't do this. Joe coaches you into learning how to write FOR YOU. ....or at least I know I did. The great thing about this class is that it is ran like a writer's room. After Joe has finished his lesson, you get to work with your classmates on your writing. Receiving notes from Joe and your classmates will help push your writing to the next level.
Not to mention that the last class is a sold out performance at the The Hollywood Improv. Even for the folks that don't want to pursue a career in comedy, I highly recommend taking this class and performing once. There is nothing out there like it."
"Joe created the kind of safe, supportive, atmosphere that immediately gave me the courage to try doing stand up and the freedom to experiment with my writing and to freely create jokes. I was a total beginner, and the class Improv appearance quickly led to The Comedy Store and other venues around town. I keep getting invited to appear and I love doing it! I really encourage all beginners to simply start here and let Joe help you find your comedy legs!"
– Steve Dunham
"Joe's class blew me away. His approach and knowledge of the stand up comedy business is awesome. I feel more inspired to write than I have in years. It's the best thing I've ever done for my career and my creative spirit!" - Jackie Maruschak
"I just completed LA Stand-Ups 6 week course. It was a great experience! The 6 week course provides practical comedy fundamentals while we develop our own set. The course ends with the students performing at the Hollywood Improv in a real show. It was great for me! My classmates were cool and Joe is an invested instructor. He provides you with all his information and we can always contact him with any questions. Plus I am inspired to continue working on stand up--that has immense value to me. Take the class if want to perform but need a kick in the tail!" - Shaelan McDonough
"I have just indulged myself in Joe's delightfully fun Beginner Stand-Up class. In just a month and a half, I have a better understanding of how to write, edit, and deliver jokes, and build confidence in performing them. Joe is friendly, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, funny, and encouraging. He even makes himself available outside of class to give notes or suggestions to his students. No matter your level, skills, or experience, Joe can take any unique individual, and make them into a solid comic! He provides a safe environment for you to try out "your stuff", and gives ample feedback to set you up for success. Class was spent laughing 85% of the time, and thanks to Joe, all of my classmates are walking around today with six pack abs! I'm happy to have found LA Stand-Ups and would recommend it to anyone looking for something else to do with their "pie-hole"!" - Allyson Demunda
"Joe's stand up comedy class is intense. His experience and insight helps you grow as a comedian. He challenges students to explore their potential. I would recommend his class to beginners and experienced comics that want to workout their writing skills and stage performance." – Vince Royale
I recently took the beginners' stand up class and I loved it! Absolutely no experience is necessary to learn stand up. Joe does a fantastic job helping you mold your routine into something presentable and he's very encouraging with all his students. Everyone gets individual attention as every week you get a chance to workshop your material in front of the class. It's a great class and Joe's a great teacher. The graduation performance at the Hollywood Improv was a blast as well. Highly recommended for anyone interested in stand up. - Laura Harburton
"Joe's class changed everything. I went from being nervous and unsure if I could even do stand up, to booking shows all around town and performing with confidence. It's rare to get to study under someone who has it so ingrained in them you can't help but absorb their knowledge and enthusiasm and do so in such a fun and supportive environment." – Chris Wievl
"Joe was EXACTLY what I needed as a new stand up comedian. Before Joe's class I would jump on stage only to BOMB, then I would go home and think about killing myself. At least now I don't BOMB anymore. After taking Joe's class I am now able to "DROP FIRE" constantly on the audience. Joe is a professional in the true sense of the word. I was able to go through my vast amounts of material with him and cut down the excess fat that was standing in the way of the "true funny". Even if you don't have any material Joe will help you find it. Lastly, Joe taught me how to network and actually get work as a Stand-up Comedian... All I can say is...thanks Joe!" - David Vaughn
"Joe's stand up class rules! He gave me invaluable advice on my routine that translated into big laughs on stage. With Joe you get the feedback of a writing partner and the professional advice of a manager. I would strongly recommend his classes to anybody who is interested in stand up or comedy writing, no matter what stage in your career. Don't waste your time with others -- Joe is the man!!!" – Isaac Gonzalez
Joe is a great teacher and has a wealth of knowledge to share from years of experience. The class is great and a ton of fun. It's amazing how much Joe squeezes into the classes. Everything from writing jokes, stage presence, delivery, nervousness, to how to handle the mic... literally, everything you need to know to be a comic. If you're thinking of giving stand up a shot, or just need to work on your act, Joe's class is a great environment for doing it.
I was always interested in standup and when I found Joe's class I thought, "why not?" First, Joe's a pro and he knows what he's doing (unlike most LA workshops I've wasted time/money with). Because of him, I'm a much better joke writer and I learned how to be a performer. Our graduation was performing at the world famous Hollywood Improv and it was an amazing experience to be part of a professional show! AND because of that show, I was invited to perform at the Belly Room of The Comedy Store! I never expected to have the balls to do this, but Joe helped me find my balls! Can't say enough good about Joe. He's a great guy, he's naturally funny, and he brings out the best in every one of his students. Class act all the way. You won't be disappointed. - Kristen Holloway
Joe's class helped me develop an original comedic voice and avoid the usual pitfalls of a rookie comic. And the class includes a showcase at the Improv - which is one big boatload of gravy. - Ian Jasper

~Karla @ It's The Little Things…
This is such a great idea. I really really like it–especially with the molding on top.
The chalkboard wall is amazing! I would love to create one for my Grandson.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh, they will have so much fun with that! Great idea!
That Cheif he's so smart, black was the perfect color. I love it, it adds such personality to the hall, which is not easy to do. I am so glad we are friends and you are so creative and I can copy your idea's. I hopee you guys stayed dry yesterday. Are you as ready as I am for some sun?
Have a great weekend,
Cha Cha
I forgot, I love the yellow background. Yellow is perfect for spring and I really like how it matches your walls.
Okay, I think that is all
Cha Cha
WOW!!! What a great idea…and I love the molding. I am a follower now and love your blog!
What a great idea … a chalk board that perfectly fits your wall! My kids (now grown) had a huge schoolhouse chalkboard in our hallway when they were little. It's a great place for them to draw and doodle, and for Santa and the Easter Bunny to leave messages.
… Connie
I love it! Chalkboard walls may be a dime a dozen in blogland but yours is really unique and creative. It looks perfect there. Thanks for joining my link up.

You just blow me away with your creativity! You rock!

This is WONDERFUL! I've looked at a lot of uses for chalkboard paint, and this might be my favorite!
I love it! They are too cute!
Oh dear… I'm totally jealous of that chalkboard wall! Looks great!
I'm always so nervous about chalkboard paint because of the chalk dust! I know that there are special markers for that, but I'm not 100% sold yet. Maybe when my little one gets bigger I might change my mind … great project though!

This looks so fun! And this is good information for me… We are getting ready to add wainscotting under the chair rails in the kitchen and I was wondering how we were going to get that cut… we have no tools!
You are a brave soul! I love the look! My 3 children would be in chalk heaven if we did something like that. And, the hallway is a pretty good space for them all to be contained. Good thinking!
Sooooo clever! Love how you've utilized this space to the absolute max!
Thanks for sharing on SNS!
FJ Donna
This is AWESOME! What a great use of the chalkboard paint idea!!!
i freaking LOVE this. i am stealing this for the perfect wall in my kitchen with a perfect view from the family playroom. i think i just found a project for myself next weekend!
my blog plug for you, since i am stealing your idea…
Love it!
That wall is great! I love seeing the little ones drawing their little hearts out.
I am sooooooo going to copy you and make one too!!!!
Awesome! Following you from Funky Junks Saturday Nite Special!
Come by for a visit!
Great idea! I have a chalkboard wall in my boys' room. They love it. Lisa~ http://www.livingmybestlifeii-lisa.blogspot.com
The chalkboard wall turned out great! I love love the molding! The kidos look like they are having a great time with it. So going to do this for E.
What a wonderful idea and place for a chalkboard! It looks great. The molding really added to the look. And, I love the yellow color on your walls. What fun for the kids.
I LOVE IT! Now I win the boring hallway award:-)
I bet that is so fun for you kids. Did you have texture on your wall?
For now forget about chalk I just give my kids the hard stuff…sharpies and pens. It's awsome when they color all over everything and it won't come out.haha
If I were smart I would copy your hallway darling.
Stinkin cute idea! Your pics with your kids playing is adorable. I need chalkboard paint all over my home- right at that level!
I painted a chalkboard wall in my playroom last summer and my almost 3 year old LOVES it! I'm thinking about painting one in the kitchen too for grocery lists or more fun things 😉
It looks great! Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my painted countertops post…seriously you should try it! It's been almost a year with a dog jumping up on it, a toddler 'helping' in the kitchen and my almost everyday baking…it's held up so amazingly well!!
Thanks again for the lovely comment!!
~Kristi @ http://www.creativekristi.com
Love this! This is a GREAT idea. It is so cute!
I have a question, I saw one of your photos that you turned black and white but left the shirt pink.. I loved it and that is how I did my Christmas card this year but left little bits hat red.. I am trying to do his Easter card and am wanting to do it again but I paid Wolf Camera to do if for me last time and they say they can't do it anymore.. yeah, don't even get me started on my phone conversation with the nice man… anyway did you do it in picnik or do you have photoshop?
Appreciate your direction,
This is just amazing!!! I think I need this in my place now too Good work! What a cute blog! xx
Hi Kellie! Thanks for visiting my blog. This is such a great idea and perfect for my growing little family. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Love this! It turned out great :).
This post just brought me to tears! Precious little ones! And they are sooooooo cute at making their very own masterpieces! Please take some great pictures of them at work as they grow and put them in frames on the yellow part of the wall. Just the picture you posted is frame worthy!
Now for the project itself- it is just the most clever idea! The chalkboard is actually very pretty against the yellow wall and white trim. And it's inaugural banner picture so fun! I love yellow. Most of my home is painted some color of yellow, or yellow is a major accent. It is wonderful to find another yellow lover! Your blog is so creative- I'll follow you!
This brings back such fond memories. We had one of these when my boys were younger. It was messy but fun! I'm grabbing a spring party button.
I really like this idea! It looks great and it's fun for the kids. I'm considering painting my cabinet doors with chalkboard paint, but I don't know….
Frankly they can't get any worse, so I don't know why I hesitate.
Oh, I LOVE it! It looks like so much fun!!
OK So I'm going to figure out where and I am going to do this although my "baby" will ber 13 on friday and her bother my other "baby" is 11 they will LOVE it! Thanks for the inspiration! your yellow walls are gorgeous!
luvs and glitter

I love that! I want a chalkboard wall now! And I think I know where I could put one. Thanks!
Yeah! It looks so awesome! I'm so glad you used black. It looks perfect.
It looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Do you have smooth walls? Ours are textured and I am not sure how well it would work on them. But I would love to do the same thing to our hallway! And dang girl 51 comments? Big time!
VERY COOL! I love how that looks and it's so cute seeing your kids drawing on it. And funny that of course a kid manages to make a mess whenever there's paint around!
Stopping by from Today's Creative! Signed up to follow you! Stop on over when you get a chance http://juliechats.blogspot.com I'm always looking for a few more crafty followers!

A is for adorable!
You are the coolest mom ever!
I may have to do this in my kindergarten hallway at school. If you can't beat them, join them!
I LOVED your chalkboard wall and featured it here. So clever, I can't wait to pull off my own somewhere in my home!
i thought i was the coolest mom ever UNTIL NOW! you beat me hands down with this idea.
i LOVE it!
Would you mind sharing what color yellow is on your walls?
Love this…thinking where I can do this
How would we keept them from thinking it's okay to draw on other walls that aren't covered with chalkboard paint? That's our only main reservation…..
I love this!! How creative. I just got the stuff to do it. So excited.
I do have a couple questions, though. Did you need more than 2 coats of paint? And how do you deal with all of the dust that falls? Is it getting all in your quarter round molding on the floor?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! The molding is PERFECT! I have one question…If you do this and in a year want it gone what do you do? Just paint back over it??? lOVE THIS!
So, so cute!
Very good idea!
Kisses from Brazil!
LOVE this!!!
wow!!!!! I ADORE THIS!
So much fun! Thank you for sharing your process with us. Can I ask where you keep the chalk? Is it accessible by the kiddos, or put up for safe keeping?
I'm just trying to plan out my own wall, and the question crossed my mind.
I just found your blog looking for fonts that show up really well on a chalkboard background and that post led to this one and now I am so loving your blog! I subscribed! Love it!
Especially this post! I am soooo doing this! My two kids would adore this! And honestly my husband and I could use it too! Also I have been itching to do some DIY projects and your sharing has shown me I can do it!

Aunt Norie's sewing room
March 10, 2010
More about last week's column.
We had the pins holding the clothes on the line. We didn't, however, get the doll made or dressed.
By the way, those clothespins can still be found at craft shops, and dolls are still being made of them. Making cute little dolls, all the clothespins lacked were the arms, so pipe cleaners were wrapped around their necks to form arms.
And they were bringing boxes too, remember. It would have been a school program with a box-supper. All of the women and young ladies would decorate a box, maybe a shoebox with a lid, filled with a delicious meal. The boxes were unmarked, no names. These were auctioned off, the maker of each to eat her lunch with whomever purchased the box. Oh all of the young lads would do everything they could to find out what her creation looked like. They would bribe little brothers and such.
God Bless you all. Keep our troops in your prayers.

Making an Impact: Building Community in a Circle of Chairs
by Terri Young
One morning each month, from October through May, about 10 students arrive at Poland Spring Yoga, the small yoga studio in Poland Spring, Maine, that I own and operate with my husband, Steve. Their ages range from 65 to 85. During the next hour, we sit in chairs in a circle and explore cultivating awareness through stillness, poetry reading, breathing techniques, and a range of gentle movements and stretches. Following the class, we move to the living room for chatting, laughter, and fellowship.
This is my favorite class to teach. The openness, joy, and deep sense of community that we all receive from this experience are nothing short of miraculous.
"I never realized yoga was for me—I always thought it was for the younger generation," one student told me after the first class. Another student confided, with complete amazement, "I never knew I could feel this way!"
A small town about 35 miles north of Portland—with a population of around 5,000—Poland Springs has limited resources, and there are few organized offerings for senior citizens. This can contribute to a sense of isolation at a time in one's life when social connections are most important. Also, many people are on limited and fixed budgets. A Teaching for Diversity grant from Kripalu allowed me to launch the class four years ago; today, I suggest a donation of $3 per class (a significant deduction from my regular class prices), and the students feel better knowing that they are helping to defray heating costs and my teaching time.
Over the years I've been teaching this class, we have lost three members, through death, nursing home placement, and injury. The current members are dealing with various experiences of later life, such as recent retirement adjustments, the loss of a spouse, and Lou Gehrig's disease. The class not only offers support and community, it also helps them navigate these changes. "This class has opened my eyes to new thoughts," says Ruth, adding, "I never realized how much proper breathing can help to relax one's mind." Says Geraldine, "This experience with yoga has come to me at just the right time in my life."
Terri Young is a Kripalu Yoga teacher who completed her 500-hour training in March. She holds a bachelor's degree in physical education and health science and has worked in the cardiac-health field for 27 years. www.polandspringyoga.com

Valdemars Castle
Valdemars Castle was built by King Christian IV (1588–1648) between 1639 and 1644. It is designed by Hans van Stenwinkel. The king's plans for his new castle were that the house should become the home for his son Valdemar Christian, who was born to him by Kirstine Munk. King Christian was renowned for his interest in building. On the island of Tåsinge, belonging to his mother in law Ellen Marsvin, the king decided to build a castle for his young son. However, Valdemar Christian never moved in. He was killed in battle in Poland in 1656.
In 1678 the naval hero, Admiral Niels Juel, was given title to the castle and the land on Tåsinge after his victory over Sweden in the Battle of Køge Bay in 1677. The estate was transferred to him as payment for the Swedish ships captured in the battle.
The present owner, Baron Iuel-Brockdorff, who is 11th generation of the Juel family, took over his childhood home from his father in 1971 and lives in the castle with his wife and family. Valdemars Slot has been open to the public since 1974. The castle is open from May to October and on public holidays. The castle features a large chapel, a toy museum, the Iuel-Brockdorff family"s big game trophy collection and a local maritime museum. As the castle lies near the beach, it is popular for visitors to come by ferry on the Helge from Svendborg.References:

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
Assuming, of course, that the TOS ship either was a training ship by design or served in a training role. There's no direct evidence of either: any regular frontline starship might have filled the dramatic role of the ship where Ensign Kirk serves "several years" after graduation. We only indirectly know that Kirk should still have been associated with the Academy at Ensign rank (supposedly as an instructor), thus the Republic should have been somehow associated as well. But not necessarily as a training vessel.
I guess the only pressing reason to think that the Republic of the 24th century is not the one from Kirk's past is that Picard insists the Constitution class only exists as a single hull in a museum as of the 2360s. But he may well be speaking of the unrefitted version, and the Republic might have received a refit.
Or then the Republic from Kirk's past never had anything even remotely to do with the Constitution class. After all, we have no good reason to think she did.

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
True she may or may not be a Constitution class starship, or the same ship that Captain James T. Kirk had serve on. But Ronald D. Moore, the person that had written the episode, believes that it is the same ship.
Here is the script itself. http://www.st-minutiae.com/academy/l...ure329/546.txt

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
Every time a starship raises its shields, takes evasive action, shoots down an enemy torpedo or tries to conceal itself, it is taking defensive action and/or assuming a defensive posture. When the same starship arms its weapons, locks weapons on target, fires them or moves to a firing position, it is taking offensive action and/or assuming an offensive posture. Sometimes you can sort of do both at the same time (pivot at warp two, give him all forward tubes as he passes) but in most cases you're considered to be on the offensive if your action is intended to directly neutralize the enemy.

The nature of the defensive fire aka counter-attack isn't any different than getting your tailgunner to fire bullets at an attacking enemy plane or a soldier using his gun to defend his position against attacking enemy soldiers.
KIRK: Intership communications. This is the captain speaking. In approximately one minute, we'll be attacked by Federation starships.

Sort of a Volkswagen Beetle-type starship or the equivalent to the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
Well, only that the Excelsior-class seemed to fulfill to a similar role too, as a larger version though (this makes the Excelsior-class the Toyota Corolla of space, I guess :-P ).

For that matter, we don't even know if Scotty was working on the computer at the time Kirk called him. For all we know, he'd gone up to C-deck to repair an air leak while his two programming techs were finishing up the testing with the firmware upgrades.
And I'll remind you that your original claim was that the shadow was being caused by the TORPEDO. It clearly isn't, and you can plainly see the glow from the impact's secondary effects partially wash out the pre-existing shadow. That means the impact point was noticeably farther forward from the impulse engines, at least halfway to the bridge if not closer.

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
I think you can interpret what is seen in TFF and TUC different viable ways, among them the notion that the ship was not active as a frontline vessel.

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
A live training ship would be training the cadets on doing what they're expected to do on a real ship. There would be no good reason to limit the ship to only a flying exercise.
Since the Excelsior had the gear for the duration of Sulu's 3 year mission then the E-A carrying the same kind of gear would suggest that Starfleet was making that a standard load and/or the E-A was going to or already does patrol near the Klingons, IMHO.

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
It also goes unmentioned that the automation center may or may not be a standard feature aboard the Constitution class, something that can afford limited control of ship's systems in am emergency. In which case, the only thing Scotty would need in order to set it up would be to beam over and put in the password to activate it.
So why did Scotty rig an automation center in the first place?
1) Torpedo approaches Enterprise (note the shadow next to the impulse deck
2) Torpedo HITS Enterprise (note the entire starboard portion of the saucer AND THE BRIDGE DOME illuminated, as is the impulse deck; note the shadow is partially glared out but is still almost noticeable)
3) Sparkly after effects (note the shadow is still present but is again partially glared out be the sparks).
The impact point cannot be to port of the impulse deck, because if it was the bridge would cast a shadow on the starboard side of the saucer at the moment of impact (it clearly does not), as seen in the second image. More importantly, Kruge's torpedo is only visible for all of four frames, during which time it crosses in front of the bridge, from right to left, immediately before impact.
From the camera's point of view, the torpedo could not have passed in front of the bridge AND hit saucer on the port side; the explosion certainly wouldn't have illuminated the STARBOARD side of the bridge dome, as it clearly does in slowmo.
Besides, a lot of the equipment they'd have on board for such a mission would be specialized for training purposes in particular. The Navy does this all the time with recoverable munitions -- particularly torpedoes -- and sometimes fitting out surface vessels or submarines with extra components that allow them to realistically simulate major battle damage for the trainees to repair. Starfleet's all about realism on these trips, which is part of the reason why their simulators often burst into flames when the cadets screw up; realism in a safe environment is fairly difficult to achieve and would require equipment far more specialized than most starships actually carry.

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
James "Nixon" Kirk was quite probably given the clearance to kick out the ship's bridge officers, so that he and he alone could show the Klingons the hot end of the phasers / act as the perfect scapegoat. That as such wouldn't tell us whether the ship was until then crewed for a standard exploration/defense mission, serving as a training ship, or cold-rotting in long term storage - or even being displayed as a museum piece.

Re: So many Mirandas/So few Constitution-refits?
This all suggests the "crew of the Enterprise" haven't been together ON the Enterprise in quite some time, assuming they've even been together at all (McCoy, at least, has not) and have been involved in a whole bunch of other non-starship related things in recent months. Three months from retirement, they are not about to start a brand new deep-space exploration mission and they're certainly not just coming BACK from one.
So I'm thinking that they're not a "crew" at that moment so much as a loose association of senior officers who continue to find themselves in highly influential positions; Kirk and Uhura (and possibly Spock) are still instructors at the Academy, Chekov is either between assignments or getting ready for his next command (First choice for Enterprise-B with Harriman as backup?) Bones is off somewhere being Bones. It's not even certain that they've been together on the Enterprise since the Sha Ka Ree fiasco; considering the anomalously high ranks of the entire bridge crew at this point, it's pretty unlikely that they were.

"Errand of Mercy": no Bones action with Klingons.
"Trouble with Tribbles": only the Darvin scan.
"Friday's Child": no opportunity to study the Klingon.
"A Private Little War": no opportunity to study the Klingon.
"Day of the Dove": Bones busy with his own crew, but everybody rendered immortal and confused anyway; not a great learning opportunity.
ST:TMP: no opportunity to study Klingons.
ST3: no studying or treating of Klingons, and his marbles were pouched elsewhere anyway.
ST5: no studying or treating of Klingons that we could see, unless there were some hangover cases or STDs or whatnot after the big party.

What They Are Saying
"Jon Fleischman's FlashReport keeps me connected and informed on the essential political stories shaping the daily debate. It is an indispensable resource for anyone who needs to know what is going on in California politics or on the national scene. Read it, like I do, every day!" - Congresswoman Mary Bono MackMore Testimonials

Special Reports
An exclusive column from FlashReport contributor Dan Schnur.
November 9, 2005
Publisher's Introduction from Jon Fleischman:
When I assembled my team of contributors for the FlashReport Weblog, I reached out to Dan Schnur for three reasons -- the first is that Dan is a straight-shooter with a great writing style. He calls it like he sees it, and leaves you entranced with every word. The second reasons is because Dan is a friend. In this business of politics, you learn to respect people for their loyalty, and I would willingly jump into a foxhole with Dan, and fight off...whomever. Finally, I reached out to Dan because I wanted a contributor to this website with whom I would not always agree. My friend Garry South would find this last notion laughable, as he probably sees Dan and I as too far-right colleagues... Well, this thought provoking column below is proof that there is diversity of opinion on the FlashReport. Dan lays out his strategy for the Governor to be successful, and I really don't like his conclusion. But, if I always agreed with Dan, he'd have reason to worry! Anyways, here is an insightful piece from the FlashReport's Capitol Correspondent, Dan Schnur...
Read election analysis from the rest of the FR Blog crew here, and Jon Fleischman's take here.
Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for governor two years ago as a conservative -- on economic, public safety, and immigration issues.
But he ran at the same time as a moderate -- on environmental, social, and cultural matters.
This ideological balance between conservatism and moderation was the key to his election to office. Schwarzenegger called for a repeal of the car tax and drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. But he also stressed his support for coastal protection and abortion rights. Ultimately, he was the world's strongest soccer mom.
That same centrist balance has characterized his first two years as governor. He's fought hard against tax increases and held the line on illegal immigration issues. But he's also supported domestic partnerships, pushed for expanded use of solar power and supported stem cell research.
The combination makes conservatives gnash their teeth. But it's this hybrid approach (no pun intended) that allows him to successfully reach out to the swing voters who decide general election campaigns in California.
So Schwarzenegger was elected as a centrist. He's governed as a centrist. But over the last several months, Californians have seen only the conservative Arnold. His initiative reform package emphasized exactly one half of his political persona -- it reinforced the conservative elements of his agenda without reminding voters of his more moderate aspects.
Don't get me wrong: each of his four measures represented the type of reforms that California needs to fix a broken system of politics and governance. But by highlighting only his rightward flank, Schwarzenegger made it much easier for his opponents to caricature him as an extremist.
With the benefit of hindsight, an initiative package that included measures that appealed to both the conservative and moderate sides of his wide-ranging constituency would have been much more consistent with the Arnold they voted for in the recall campaign. Paycheck protection, in other words, looks much less threatening if it's paired with a reconstituted ban on off-shore oil drilling. And budget reform would have been balanced nicely by a companion initiative on early childhood education or health care. Could the unions have demonized a governor campaigning for kids and coastal clean-up? Perhaps, but it would have been a much, much harder sell.
This is not to say that Schwarzenegger needs to reinvent himself on issues where he is strongly conservative. Raising taxes or caving on drivers' licenses won't do him or the state any good – and neither is likely to happen. His opponents will try to spin the defeat of Prop 76 as evidence that the voters want higher taxes, but Schwarzenegger is adroit enough to steer clear of that briar patch. And for all the grief he'll take on the drivers' license debate, there's little chance he'll give any ground there as well.
Rather, he and his advisors need to work harder to highlight the environmental and cultural moderation that has effectively balanced his conservative leanings in the past.
A pro-choice green governor who won't raise taxes or turn a blind eye to illegal immigration won't ever make the Conservative Hall of Fame. But this balancing act can allow him to maintain the breadth of popular and political support he'll need to govern successfully on the many issues where his party's base does agree with him.
Last night, Schwarzenegger seemed to indicate that's precisely where he was headed. His speech previewed a contrite and conciliatory approach that had been rarely seen until recently. He did not indicate any substantive reinvention of his policy goals, but rather an acknowledgment that cooperation on both sides of the aisle represented the best chance for real progress.
Will Arnold get as much from legislative negotiations as he would have from passing his initiative reform package? Of course not. But that's no longer an option. Moving forward, it's worth agreeing that some progress is better than none, and remembering that the political graveyards are full of candidates who allowed the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

Rain Almost Dampens Twin Cedars' Streak
Posted By Sports On July 1, 2013 @ 5:58 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
A big lead nearly got erased because of the rain for Twin Cedars, but they were able to hold on and win their 16th straight, 9 – 5 on Saturday. The game was delayed in the fourth because of a downpour with the Sabers up 8 – 2. Pitcher Coy Moore was staying loose in the bullpen, but struggled with his command when he came back, but still earned the win on the mound when Otis Roby came in relief and shut the door. Hunter Embray was 3-for-3 at the plate with a home run and four RBI's, and not to be outdone, Corey Harrell also was 3-for-3 but with two home runs and four runs driven in. Brent Parker also added a four-bagger for Twin Cedars, who improve to 26 – 1 on the season. Monday is a big day, as they will head to Melcher-Dallas to wind up the rivalry for the 2013 baseball season.

Imperial Beach man attends major sporting events in America, collects memorabilia
Collection fills John Roche's garage
IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. - An Imperial Beach man who has gone to every Super Bowl and Major League Baseball all-star game for the past two decades shared his unbelievable sports memorabilia collection with 10News.
"Some people go to Broadway shows or a lot of nice dinners. This is just my hobby," said John Roche, who has also attended the World Series and Final Four during most of those years.
It's a hobby that has cost him tens of thousands of dollars over the years. Besides buying a ticket, airfare and a hotel room, Roche also spends hundreds of dollars on merchandise that he then stores in an amazing "filing" system in his garage. Memorabilia from each event is stored in one of 150 plastic bins.
"Well, I guess I save money by not going to the regular games," he said.
Roche said he will attend this year's Super Bowl in New Jersey, making it his 24th in a row.
The game ticket alone cost him $2,500, and some are selling them online for upwards of $6,000.

How the FAS will improve the efficiency of day to day flights
With the FAS system airlines, airports and air traffic control share data making it easier for everyone to know what's happening.
Accurate information about when aircraft are departing is valuable to get the maximum use of scarce runway capacity. Air Traffic Control uses it to plan how the airspace will be used over the next few hours and airport teams use it to manage their workload and make sure they are not the reason for a delay. So overall the 'system' will cause less delay.
By modernising the airspace systems through FAS once the aircraft has taken off it would make maximum use of its climb performance, getting higher quicker. This reduces the noise footprint to those near the airport and means the aircraft reaches its efficient high cruise altitude much more quickly.
Once into the airspace system aircraft currently use a complicated set of routes that can mean them flying many extra miles. Under the simplified structure of FAS aircraft can integrate into the air traffic control system with fewer changes and more direct routes– this saves on fuel and therefore cost to the airlines and the environment in CO2.
These direct routings and better liaison throughout the UK /Ireland Functional Airspace Block would mean that more flights will arrive on time and generally arrival times are more predictable.
Throughout the journey air traffic controllers are managing the progress of flights to be able to remove extensive holding and delay at the end of the journey. As well as benefiting those on board, this also reduces the noise and CO2 impact for everyone else.
In the future as aircraft approach to land they will use satellite guidance, known as Performance Based Navigation (PBN), instead of ground based radio navigation aids, meaning the aircraft flies a much more accurate path. PBN allows the UK's complicated, busy airspace to be fundamentally re-designed, increasing safety, capacity and efficiency.
