Do airlines sell their empty seats on day of flight at reduced price?
Report Abuse
You're much more likely to find planes with all seats full and people waiting on standby. And last minute (at the airport) tickets are almost always the MOST expensive,
Have you considered looking at some of the web sites that offer last minute flights or packages the week of the flight? Sometimes they have good deals.
Do a search above to find the names - I've never used them so don;t have the details.
Report Abuse
Check the websites for the carriers you use to see if there are esavers for your dates of travel. Site59 and www.lastminutetravel.com often have deals for last minute travel. Also, www.smarterliving.com has some deals.
Report Abuse
I ditto site59.com
Awesome last minute bargains!
Report Abuse
Since 911, I do not think you are able to head to the airport with bags in hand expecting to leave the same day.
I am not sure where you are located and which airport you have access to but you might also want to check out charter flights that fly out of your airport (for example: www.worryfreevacations.com). Sometimes they have some pretty awesome last minute deals.
Another option is Southwest Airlines if they fly to your airport. They really have a great DING program.
Report Abuse
Skyauction.com is another good site for last minute deals.
Report Abuse
You could try the internet specials on an airline website. American, for example, offers their excess seats each Wednesday, for travel that weekend, departing Friday evening or Saturday and returning Monday or Tuesday, for very low fares. For example, Chicago-Washington at, say, $139 roundtrip.
Report Abuse
I thought it interesting while sitting in the Ft. Myers airport a couple weeks ago waiting for my American Eagle flight to be cancelled, that when I called Jet Blue thinking maybe I could just buy a last minute seat to New York on my own, they quoted me something like $329 one way, despite that the plane would be leaving in a couple hours and there were seats available. (I had paid $129 on American for round trip).
Report Abuse
Thanks for all the suggestions. Really appreciate your efforts to help me. I've just downloaded Ding from Southwest. Hopefully something will come up soon. Will also take a look at the other recommended sites, especially the Wednesday savers on American. I've never understood why an airline would rather fly with empty seats than sell at a discount. Makes absolutely no sense to me. Maybe that's part of why many of them are in financial trouble.
Report Abuse
It makes lots of sense to not discount seats in the last minute. There are plenty of people on business or have personal emergencies that need to fly on very short notice. These people will pay full-fare coach, which is up to $1,000 domestic roundtrip. Why give these folks a discount?
Airlines will not generate many traffic if they discount fares on the last day. People who need to travel will either buy in advance or pay up. Few will say, "what am I going to do today? Maybe I will fly to Chicago since it's cheap!"
Report Abuse
The airlines have this pretty much figured out that if you're inquiring on the day of the flight (or shortly before) you're desperate or a business traveler who'll pay top dollar for a seat.
They also have it figured out that if they have five empty seats, it's better to sell three of them for $1000 each than five for $300 each.
Report Abuse
I seriously doubt that airlines would ever make it a policy to make empty seats available at the cheap price at the airport at the last minute. Once word got out that one could travel cheaply by doing this, there would be utter chaos at the airports!
Report Abuse
I wish I had known about DING yesterday. (I even bought southwest tickets yesterday and didn't see it) They were offering free ff points for downloading the system up to June 15 :'(
Report Abuse
Some airlines in some countries have stuff like last-minute "mystery flights", where you go to the airport in the morning, pay the money, and they tell you where you're going with a same day return.
That will eliminate the business travellers; but I think few people take the offer. My parents tried it from Perth, West Australia; and got a cheap day-trip to Adelaide. But they would not do that again, as next time they may get Adelaide again - where's the fun in that?

According to Paramount, as cited in a post from Deadline, Transformers 4 release date is set for June 27, 2014. Aside from the announcement regarding the official Transformers 4 release date, new details about the movie were also revealed.

Mark Wahlberg stars in the movie playing as an aspiring inventor and a single father to Cade, played by the 18-year old actress, Nicola Peltz. Describing his character to MTV, as cited by Classicalite, Wahlberg shared, "...a young, single dad having a teenage daughter, trying to succeed as an inventor, having very little means and also trying to provide for my family. Then all hell breaks loose."
Other stars who are part of the cast of Transformers 4 are Stanley Tucci, Jack Reynor, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, TJ Miller, Titus Welliver, Han Geng, Li Bingbing and more. The movie is currently in production. As reported by Enstars, citing the Chicago Sun Times, the cast and crew of the movie were at The South Loop on September 14 for filming.

Barbadian princess Rihanna sheds off her clothes once again in a new photo taken from inside her bathroom. The provocative pic shows the 25-year-old singer's backside, as she goes topless again, wearing only a white thong and a pair of thigh-high, black Prada boots that are strapped to a suspender belt around her waist.
The photo was posted by Rihanna herself on her Instagram along with a message that showered praises on Italian designer Miuccia Prada who had apparently custom-made the boots for the "Stay" singer. "Gotcha b***h tip toeing on my marble flo'!!!" wrote RiRi. "Sick *ss custom Prada boots! Miuccia you RULE!!! Thank you."
Rihanna previously explained why she posted provocative photos on her Instagram. "Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No," Chris Brown's girlfriend said. "That's why I'm posting pictures of myself smoking pot, to tell the truth about myself. I've got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s*** by being dishonest?"
The sexy and often controversial singer launched her own clothing line with River Island in London earlier this week and immediately flew back to the U.S. after a midnight appearance at her own launch party. This Friday, March 8, she will kick off her "Diamonds" tour, her fifth career world tour, in Buffalo before it hits Europe in May, with a total of six shows lined up in the U.K. in June.

Towns and capitals
A document circulating on the internet which has been seized on by many persons locally, makes the assertion that April 29, 2012 marks the two hundredth anniversary of Georgetown. Well, not quite. The city's two hundredth anniversary was in 1981, and what this year represents is two centuries since Georgetown acquired its name. Cities sometimes do change their names, but their founding date is always taken as the base from which to calculate their ages. St Petersburg is a classic case in point: founded by Peter the Great in 1703, it became Petrograd in 1914, Leningrad in 1924 and changed back to St Petersburg in 1991. No matter what it is called at any given point, however, its age will always be reckoned from 1703.
And so it is with Georgetown. Historians and the municipal authorities some decades ago took the founding date as being when the British came in 1781, although the invaders were not here long enough on that occasion to accomplish anything very much in the way of developing a town. They did, however, choose the site and build a wooden fort whose precise location is unknown, although the 19th century historian James Rodway thought it might have been in Company Path. They also built a government office on the site where the Dutch had constructed a Brandwagt, or signal station in 1748, probably somewhere in the region of what is now St Andrew's Kirk.
The British were succeeded by the French in 1782, who achieved rather more in terms of town infrastructure and buildings, but they in turn were dislodged by the Dutch in 1784. For their part, the Dutch had not really ever intended establishing a town where Georgetown is now; they had been contemplating locations on the East Bank in the neighbourhood of what is now Coverden. However, faced with a fait accompli, they took over what they had inherited from the French, and proceeded from there. They called their new town, Stabroek, after Nicolaas Geelvink, President of the Dutch West India Company and Lord of Castricum, Backum and Stabroek. (The French had called it La Nouvelle Ville, while sometimes also referring to it casually as Longchamps (long fields.))
As Stabroek expanded at a modest rate, some of the enterprising planters in the neighbourhood began to sell off the frontlands of their plantations for the purposes of urban development. The record of their business acumen (or that of their agents) is still to be found in some instances in the ward names of the city, such as Bourda (after Joseph Bourda), Albouystown (after J H Albouys) and Cummingsburg (after Thomas Cuming, who has managed to bequeath his name to Cummings Lodge and the Cummings Canal as well.) In 1812, Stabroek along with all of these areas and others like Kingston, where the British military establishment and its attached village were to be found, were given the name Georgetown. As said above, the date being circulated for this is April 29, although Rodway gives May 5. It is possible, of course, that the first represented the date of the order and the second the date when it was to come into effect, but final clarification would require recourse to the original documents.
And now a word about capitals. Georgetown was not only the first true capital here (albeit not of the whole country), but it was also the first true town. It was the historian Alvin Thompson who pointed out many years ago that for most of their history under the Dutch, the colonies which went to make up modern-day Guyana never had towns; they were quite literally plantation colonies only. What the Dutch did was build forts, around which (or near to which) a number of houses sprang up. Along with the houses, Fort Zeelandia in Essequibo and Fort Nassau in Berbice each had an inn, a church, a smithy or smithies and a building housing the Court of Policy and Justice in their vicinity, but neither could have been described as an urban centre in any real sense of that term. They are best referred to, perhaps, as headquarters.
No one knows when the first Dutch headquarters were set up here. The presumption is that Essequibo was the first colony, although no one is sure about its date of establishment; the favoured dates are either around 1616, or perhaps 1626 – or some other year a little before that. We do know that the first brick fort was Kykoveral (the Dutch never hyphenated the name; that is an aberration introduced by the British), but we have no idea when it was built. We do know that it became too small for the operations of the government, which decamped to Cartabo in 1718, leaving the military in the fort. The government was to move to Fort Island in 1739, while between 1742 and 1744, Fort Zeelandia was constructed there, the ruins of which are still evident today.
Essequibo was owned by the Dutch West India Company until for a very brief period it was taken over by the state in the 1790s, but wherever the Dutch administrative headquarters in Essequibo were situated at any given point in time, they had jurisdiction over Essequibo and Demerara only. Demerara is the youngest of the Guyana colonies, since its first plantations came after 1745, although in economic terms it was far and away the most successful, and quickly became the most populous too. Since it had eclipsed its parent colony, it eventually managed to secure independent administration, and from the 1760s its headquarters were to be found on Borsselen Island, in the Demerara River. At the time the British appeared for the first time in 1781, the buildings there had fallen into a state of total disrepair, which is why the Dutch in somewhat lackadaisical fashion had been casting around for an alternative location.
It must be remembered that Berbice was an entirely separate colony from Essequibo and Demerara for all of the Dutch period and part of the British. It was owned first by the Van Pere family, then briefly by the French, then by the Berbice Association, and lastly by the Berbice Society (in addition to the conquests by the British and French from 1781 onwards). The headquarters here were, as mentioned above, Fort Nassau, together with the attached village of Nieuw Amsterdam. No one knows when the first fort was built on the Berbice River either, although we do know the date of the establishment of the colony itself – 1627. As far as capitals are concerned, however, Berbice had its own; that was the present town of New Amsterdam, whose date of foundation is taken as 1791 when the Court of Policy promulgated regulations for the issuing of house lots there.
When the British assumed control of the Guyana colonies for the last time in 1803 (they were also here between 1796 and 1802), they governed two colonies: the United Colony of Essequibo and Demerary/a, and Berbice. Even in 1812, the newly named Georgetown was only the capital of the first, not the second. The two colonies were combined to form British Guiana in 1831, and from that point on Georgetown became the capital of the whole country.
Whatever the incidental inaccuracies in the internet document being disseminated, it does, nevertheless, serve a very important purpose. It draws attention to the city by providing an occasion for celebration – in this case, a name change – that could galvanise the authorities as well as citizens into doing something to rescue Georgetown. In a letter to this newspaper last Tuesday, Major General (rtd) Joseph Singh, suggested that the occasion be marked by action to arrest the city's decline. Apart from his proposals to clean up the capital and maintain it in a sanitary state, he also suggested (among other things) that the 200th Naming Anniversary Project should be the restoration of City Hall.
"A public commitment should be made by civil society groups towards the setting up of a project implementation Steering Committee (as, for example, was done for the restoration of the St George's Cathedral and the Theatre Guild Playhouse) for the Restoration of City Hall as a project of national importance," he wrote. "City Hall is a National Monument and should be the symbol and flagship of the capital," he continued; "Sadly, it is currently a national embarrassment of monumental proportions." To date, there has not been any response from City Hall, the National Trust, the relevant ministries, civil society organizations, the business community or private citizens to this proposal. Surely they are not all prepared to stand by and watch City Hall disintegrate in front of their eyes? This is at least one city in the world that has an administrative building of stunning architectural value and aesthetic quality; we would be condemned in the eyes of future generations were we to let it go to ruin.

Brexit's referendum and the Caribbean
Caribbean citizens with long memories, or with knowledge of the establishment and demise of the West Indies Federation, of which of course Guyana, then British Guiana, was not a part, will probably have cringed when Prime Minister Cameron announced a referendum on Britain's continued participation in the European Union.
Déjà vu?
The newly installed City Hall has gotten off to a bad start. Given the years of political controversy and public ridicule that preceded the recent local government elections, City Hall deserved better.
Parking meters deal
Anyone who listened to or read of the press conference held last Monday by the Mayor of Georgetown, Patricia Chase-Green on the visit of her team to Mexico in connection with the parking meters project would instantly come away with the view that the city is a hotbed for machinations more associated with some medieval enclave rather than a municipality born of democratic elections and aspiring to transparent, open and accountable governance.
Britain's referendum
Exactly how a people could vote in favour of inflicting damage on themselves must seem perplexing at first glance. In fact it is not so, given that those in Britain who voted to leave the European Union in Thursday's referendum were hardly reticent about the reasons for their choice.

One way to make sense of Britain's decision to quit Europe is to gaze across the Atlantic. Not long ago, during the years of the second Bush presidency, millions of America's poorest citizens proved to be the Republican Party's staunchest supporters.
Zero sum game
During the previous administration of the PPP/C, many commentators described the political status quo in Guyana as a zero sum game.

As most places like this there is a language barrier. But for 2 people 3 dishes 2 small soups and a can of cola it was about 40 bucks. I'll probably be returning. I liked it.
I was in from out of town and asked my hotel receptionist where i could go for great asian food. Without hesitation she recommended 'Wokano Asian Bistro' and the recommendation did not disappoint. The food was fresh, inexpensive, cooked very well, and very healthy. If you like great asian food, i recommend you eating here... you will not be disappointed.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

An extra 2000 people will be able to crowd around Wellington's Cenotaph on Anzac Day when a $2.5 million upgrade is complete.
The Wellington City Council was last week granted resource consent to push ahead with a revamp of the area surrounding the war memorial, built in 1929.
Work on the upgrade - which includes "decluttering" the area and linking it to Parliament with a grand staircase - is set to begin in August and finish in February next year, in time for the 2015 Anzac Day centenary commemorations.
The council has budgeted $1.5m for the project, which will go toward the upgrade of the Cenotaph and surrounding square. The remaining $1m will come from the Parliamentary Service, and will be spent building a staggered diagonal staircase linking the square to Parliament grounds.
Group manager precinct services Judith Taylor said that would cover finalising the design, construction and project costs.
Project manager Kevin Murphy said there would be few changes to the monument itself, which was built to honour soldiers killed during World War I.
Some broken tiles on the terrace in front of the plinth would be replaced, and some paving redone to reflect the era when it was built.
There would also be better lighting installed to showcase it at night, since the current lighting focused most on the underside of the horse on top of the monument.
"What we're going to try to do is put better light on all four sides . . . and on the horse itself so it's not just the belly."
"Clutter" would be removed to open up the area, in a manner similar to when it was first built. Benches would be removable to make extra room during ceremonies, Murphy said.
Plans estimate that, for three people per square metre, the capacity will grow from 11,859 people to 13,851.
The aim was to "create a lot more of an open space to give people a better perspective of the monument itself and also to improve the connection between the monument and Parliament", Murphy said.
The increased capacity was welcomed by Wellington RSA president Ron Turner. "The closer the people get to the Cenotaph, and the easier it is for them to see what is going on, the better it is."
Taylor said the design would help foster the connection between Parliament and the rest of the city by "reorienting" the existing stairs.
Heritage New Zealand central region general manager Ann Neill was "very supportive" of the project and said it would help maintain the heritage values of the monument, which is a category one historic place.
Removing clutter would help return "the sense of gravitas" to the monument.
"This will return the monument close to its original setting, and how it would have originally been experienced by the people of Wellington."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- A Patriots-Jets matchup needs no hype, especially this week. Division rivals. Matching records. The national spotlight of "Sunday Night Football." As Jet-turned-Patriot James Ihedigbo quipped this week, the story writes itself.
True. But understand there's no attempt at hyperbole when we note that, for New England, Sunday's AFC East blockbuster at MetLife Stadium is the most important game remaining on its 2011 schedule.
We know what you're thinking: Tell us something we don't know, Mr. Sportswriter. If we took a poll in April when the 2011 schedule was released, 99 percent of Patriots and Jets fans probably would have guessed that.
But here's the thing: All the hoopla aside, the outcome of Sunday's game will likely go a long way toward determining the overall success of the season for the Patriots.
Consider this: The Jets are one of only two teams remaining on New England's schedule that boasts a record above .500 (the other is the Buffalo Bills, who could be another pivotal division matchup for the Patriots, but a lot can happen between now and Week 17).
After the Jets, New England's next seven opponents boast a mere 19 wins between them, good for a .333 winning percentage. It's the easiest remaining slate in the NFL.
So it's this simple: If the Patriots win Sunday -- sweeping the season series against the Jets -- they'll essentially have a two-game cushion on their chief rivals with a breezy path to January football. It would force the Bills to essentially maintain pace the rest of the way in order to take advantage of having won that first meeting of the season.
A loss? Well, that's far more daunting. Suddenly the Patriots would have lost three in a row and would find themselves in a dogfight the rest of the way, with the potential to be left scrapping for a mere wild-card spot (though that soft schedule would certainly aid that quest).
"It's a really big game," wide receiver Wes Welker said with an I'm-not-just-saying-this-because-it's-Patriots-Jets-week tone. "Any time you're going for first in the division, trying to do the things necessary to win and put ourselves in good position, this is where you want to be."
With eyes toward putting the back-to-back losses behind them, the Patriots have taken a "new season" approach to this week. The idea being that, with the logjam atop the division and eight games to go, what's happened before now really doesn't matter.
But make no mistake. What happens Sunday sure does. Sometimes the Patriots-Jets hype can overshadow the game. Not this time around. In a week in which both teams have again kept the bulletin board material to a minimum, the hullabaloo is relegated to the gridiron, where it most certainly belongs.
"There's nothing to downplay," Ihedigbo said. "Two 5-3 teams, rivals in the same division, fighting for the same thing. There's nothing to downplay. You definitely embrace it, embrace the challenge in front of us. In order to win games like this, you have to play your best football."
No team in the NFL has been better in division games in November or later in recent years than the Patriots. Since the start of the 2003 season, the Patriots are 24-7 against division rivals (a .744 winning percentage).
The Patriots are 16-7 overall against the Jets in the Tom Brady era (including the game in which he replaced Drew Bledsoe in 2001). The teams have split the season series each of the past three seasons, with the Jets winning the past two at home.
As for the national spotlight, New England is 5-5 since NBC took over "Sunday Night Football" broadcasts, but they won both prime-time appearances last season, against the Green Bay Packers (31-27 on Dec. 19, 2010) and Pittsburgh Steelers (39-26 on Nov. 14, 2010). This is the first of consecutive national telecasts, with a Monday night visit from the Kansas City Chiefs looming next week.
But New England's focus is clearly on the Jets.
"Every single week we're practicing hard ... but this is definitely a big game," said tight end Rob Gronkowski. "On the road, 'Sunday Night Football' -- it can't get any bigger. We can't wait for this game. It's going to be a lot of fun."
But it'll only be fun for Gronkowski & Co. if the result is a victory. After all, nothing feels quite as good to the folks in Foxborough as a win during Jets week. Earlier this season, Patriots coach Bill Belichick had a certain glow about him after the Jets game (lingering at the podium when he'd otherwise be watching film).
What's more, over the past few weeks, it's been hard to not to notice all the plastic-wrapped commemorative balls inside numerous Patriots players' locker stalls. They bear the logo of the Jets, suggesting the team might have given the entire squad game balls on the heels of a 30-21 triumph in Week 5.
Will there be another large order for game balls next week? The Patriots will need to snap their two-game skid, a rare losing streak in these parts (only the third time during the regular season since the start of the 2003 campaign).
When it was suggested that the familiarity with the Jets might make them the perfect opponent to try to bounce back against, Vince Wilfork smiled and noted the difficulty in that.
"It's vice versa: They know us also," he said. "Two division teams that are tough teams and two coaches that are just hard, hard working coaches -- you're going to have a good football game come Sunday."
A good football game that might actually be bigger than the Wilfork-sized hype.

Amanda Seyfried Basically Stops Time In Givenchy's New Ad
Amanda Seyfried's TV spot for Givenchy's "Very Irresistible" is here, in all its black-and-white, windswept glory. Perfume ads are always a tricky thing — unlike makeup or clothing spots, you can't see the product in action. Instead, you see the ambience and, in turn, the feeling the fragrance is supposed to capture. Sure, there are some (we're looking at you, Dolce & Gabbana's "Light Blue") that are more fantastical, suggesting a few carefree spritzes might whisk you away to Capri with a half-naked Adonis lounging next to you on a yacht, but others — like Givenchy's latest — are slightly more relatable (that is, if you happen to have a compact wind-machine to whip your hair back when you enter a room).
In fact, Seyfried's transformation puts all of our attempts to command a room to shame — heck, her very aura stops an entire café in its tracks. "Very Irresistible" probably helps, but that black trench and sheer, white lace top are equally arresting. Let's just say that after watching this, the actress should expect some fan mail from all of us at R29. (Fashion Copious)

I have a question about how border should display in detail band, and I would like to get some help.
Say, a column in detail band that might have LOTS data, by lots, I meant sometimes a single record might actually took 2~3 page to display.
Now customer ask that we should make report always display bottom line of the border as long as it meets end of page (even this record its not end yet)
What I tried:
Make a column footer with 1px height line.
Set "Floating column footer" to TRUE.
Result : It works great, but this line will make extra empty space at end of the table if there is a Summary band after the column footer. I think I am close, but I just can't get rid of the strange empty space
Make a Frame with border, set "Print when detail overflow" to TRUE then put everything in detail band into this frame.
Result : Not work as I expected :(
Since this report contains not just a table in detail band, and the height of the table are random. Tricks like a border in Background or Page Footer are not suitable here
What else can I do ?
I would really appreciate if someone can help me out. Thank you.

World Bulletin / News Desk
The European Union's anti-piracy force attacked Somali pirate installations on Somalia's coastline by air on Tuesday for the first time since its mandate was expanded earlier this year.
The strike on what the EU force said was "on known pirate supplies" came four days after Somali pirates hijacked a Greek-owned oil tanker carrying close to a million barrels of crude oil in the Arabian Sea.
"We believe this action by the EU Naval Force will further increase the pressure on, and disrupt pirates' efforts to get out to sea to attack merchant shipping and dhows," Operation Commander of the EU Naval Force, Rear Admiral Duncan Potts, said in a statement.
"The focused, precise and proportionate action was conducted from the air and all forces returned safely to EU warships on completion," the statement said, adding that initial surveillance had indicated that no Somalis had been wounded as a result of the attack.
The EU extended its counter-piracy operation off the coast of Somalia by two years in March, until December 2014, and expanded the area it covers to include the coastline itself.
Until Tuesday's attack, it had only operated in Somalia's territorial and internal waters. But its decision to extend its area of operations to include Somali coastal territory - land along the country's coastline - meant it was able to target pirates' weaponry and other equipment on land.

TRIPLE TREAT | Saturday delivered three entertaining #NRL matches, with amazing tries, enterprising ...
87 mins ago
The St George Illawarra Dragons announced on Friday that prop Jack Stockwell has agreed to terms on a contract extension that will see him remain at the Club until at least the end of 2017.
The Picton Magpies junior is a graduate of both the Dragons High Performance Unit and National Youth Competition team where he was named in the NYC "Team of the Year" for 2012.
Stockwell, 21, made his first-grade debut that same season against the South Sydney Rabbitohs and was additionally selected for both the Junior Kangaroos and NSW Blues U20 State of Origin teams.
Stockwell, 21, has made 23 first-grade appearances to date for the Dragons and is focused on adding to that tally with his long-term playing future now secured.
"I am thankful for the opportunity to continue my development with the Dragons," said Stockwell.
"The decision was a fairly simple one to make in the end, having progressed through the Club's various youth teams, and I look forward to being a part of the Club's future."
Dragons Head Coach Steve Price is pleased by the forward's decision to remain at the Club.
"Jack is an exciting young player who works extremely hard and continues to improve with each training session and game," said Price.
"Jack is very highly regarded by his team mates and shows maturity beyond his years.
"He always gives his all on the field and I see him competing hard for a regular place in the front-row."
Dragons CEO Peter Doust was additionally forthcoming in his assessment of the player.
"We are all very pleased by Jack's decision to extend his stay at the Club," said Doust.
"Jack has been a player we identified a number of years ago who we see as a key part of our future."

Dirty jets
Posted May 01, 2012 - 05:14 AM
Asked for advice and it seemed my slide had been jacked up, prolly to mask a long standing issue. So pulled the carb to have a closer look inside.
Got the slow jet out again to double check and on very close inspection saw this;
So, when people suggest you check your jets are clean, don't just give them a cursory glance. That gunge inside the jet could easily be enough to drop it two or three jet sizes and if you bought replacement jets based on that being an accurate 45 you'd be off the mark. I see no easy or thorough way of cleaning this, I don't have an ultrasonic bath whick would probably be the only way. Best just order a new one.
This is on a very low miles 2005 DRZe.

Thanks for the thumbs up, had quite a few reads of this but no comments, had thought I'd posted a duffer.
Great advice, all the cleaning in the world won't get them to their correct size again.. Pitch and replace with OEM parts, couple bucks worth of jets can save hours...
Posted May 02, 2012 - 06:24 AM
1) as stated throw away the old jets and buy new, they are cheap!
2) soak varnashed parts in carb dip overnight (never put rubber or whole carbs into dip!).
3) simple green cleaner takes off the white stuff that grows on steel bits in float bowl (spray and rinse with water, don't let it dry or it will form concrete).
4) rinse parts with aerosol carb cleaner (again stay away from rubber).
5) use shop cloth and carb spray to clean jet needle interior passage(you will be amazed how much stuff polishes off that soaking misses).
6) when you think its perfect, clean it again!
7) quadruple check the passage from the pilot jet through the carb body (use aerosol and compressed air to make sure its 100% clean)
8) check fuel petcock, inside tank and fuel line along with passage from line to float needle for varnish or yellow slime, acetone will disolve this crap.
9) USE FUEL STABILIZER! and drain float bowl if its going to set more that a couple weeks!!!! Much more fun to ride than work.
I worked for years at a KTM dealer and spent months every spring fixing this on bikes that sat all winter..
Thanks again! Hope this helps a few poor souls that are missing prime riding season with gunked up carbs.

Elvis Presley's Memphis home Graceland photographed by Hedi Slimane
With over 600,000 snap happy visitors a year, you can imagine that Elvis Presley's infamous Graceland mansion is pretty well documented. But it takes someone truly special to photograph something famous and still make it seem brand new, which is why we're glad that Hedi Slimane – lover of rock and roll, and young, good-looking, rebellious men – took a trip to Elvis' Memphis home late last year and brought his camera along.
We've long been fans of Hedi's monochromatic, star-studded, sweat covered online diary and have written about it a few times, but this little nugget of a day trip he made to a tourist site is just proof that when Hedi wants to stop photographing teenagers going nuts on stage for a minute and do a rather tender series like this, he totally comes into his own. This may look simple, but not many people could photograph a home like this with such dark energy and significance. Not many at all.
On another note, how much does Graceland look like the house from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

German website leaks what it claims is full text of Canada-EU trade pact
The Canadian Press
Published Wednesday, August 13, 2014 9:18PM EDT
Last Updated Thursday, August 14, 2014 7:56PM EDT
TORONTO -- A German television show has posted online a document it claims is the full text of the Canada-EU trade deal, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.
The 521-page document dated Aug. 5 was posted online Wednesday by the show "Tagesschau."
The Harper government said earlier this month that negotiators had concluded a text of the free-trade deal with the European Union.
The final wording followed months of negotiation and disagreements over a wide range of issues that included investor protection from lawsuits as well as dairy quotas.
Trade Minister Ed Fast said last week that he was looking forward to a Canada-EU Summit in Ottawa next month, where the deal will be the centrepiece.
Fast said the agreement will "create jobs and economic opportunities for hard-working Canadians in every region of the country."
The Council of Canadians said in a release that it's pleased that the text of the agreement has been made public.
"Throughout the process, this agreement and its devastating impacts have been kept locked away from legislators and the public, shielded from a democratic process," said Maude Barlow, chairwoman of the Council of Canadians.
Federal officials have said it could take up to two years to run the text through the ratification process, translation and a fine tuning of the legal language. That means it might not be in force before the next federal election, expected October 2015.
The Harper government has made the deal with Europe a keystone of its economic agenda, giving Canada favoured access to Europe's $17-trillion economy.
Once implemented, 98 per cent of the tariffs between the partners would drop to zero.
In addition to tariff removal, there are chapters on professional accreditation that will make it easier for people to work in either zone, and more opportunities in financial services and telecommunications."

Stand-up comic and "MADtv" star Anjelah Johnson brings her latest act to City National Grove of Anaheim on Saturday.
As a former Oakland Raiderette, she's been showing off some of her dance moves in a new YouTube video for "I'm a Cut You" featuring Johnson's "MADtv" character and viral sensation Bon Qui Qui. If the audiences in Anaheim are nice, she might just bust out some of the moves live on stage.
We have a pair of tickets to give away to the 10:30 p.m. show on Saturday. To be entered to win, send an email with Anjelah Johnson in the subject line to firstname.lastname@example.com by 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 29. Include your full name and phone number. The winner will be notified Thursday afternoon.
Tickets to the 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. shows are still available at Ticketmaster.com for $39.50.
