College Hockey:Bobcats Notch AHA's First-Ever Win Vs. Hockey East
Two Goals By Craig Lead Quinnipiac Over Merrimack
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Quinnipiac earned an historic victory Saturday night, as Matt Craig scored two goals, the second the game-winner, as the Bobcats beat Merrimack 3-2 to record Atlantic Hockey's first-ever win over a Hockey East opponent.
Coming into Saturday, Hockey East had been 40-0-5 against the AHA, including its formative years as the Metro Atlantic conference's hockey league. Quinnipiac was 0-6 against Hockey East schools, and Merrimack was 6-0 against AHA/MAAC teams until Saturday.
Jamie Holden stopped 29 shots for Quinnipiac, which got Craig's winner at 12:04 of the third period to break a 2-2 deadlock.
The Bobcats, who never trailed, went up 1-0 with just 32 seconds left in the first. Craig converted Chris White's pass with a one-timer that beat Merrimack netminder Jim Healey (22 saves).
Tim Reidy's fifth goal of the season, a rebound putaway of Ryan Sullivan's initial shot at 8:56 of the second period, evened the score for the Warriors, but Quinnipiac tallied again at 12:43 while skating 5-on-3.
Healey stopped Craig's initial shot from the point, but White banged the rebound into the net to make it 2-1 Quinnipiac.
Merrimack's Marco Rosa tied it up once more at 5:04 of the third, also on the power play. The puck went from Bryan Schmidt to Brent Gough, and Gough hit Rosa in front of Holden for the score.
That set up Craig's game-winner seven minutes later, with his second goal of the night coming off his own rebound.

George Clooney on Wednesday strongly denied a report he was holding hands with a model described as a former flame over the weekend in London while he was away from girlfriend Stacy Keibler.
"The story is made up. I wasn't holding anybody's hand," the actor tells PEOPLE in a statement. "Stop trying to sell magazines by creating scandal that isn't there."

The star proved getting a movie done can be plenty of fun if you've got your friends with you – and you've got a late-season dumping of snow. Which is just what the conditions were Friday when he lobbed a snowball at the star of his wartime drama, The Monuments Men, Matt Damon.
Damon responded the only way he could: by whipping a snowball back at the director! Costar Cate Blanchett stayed out of the fray, and according to local tabloid B.Z., the production team cheered them on.

Looking more attached than ever despite some recent breakup rumors, star couple George Clooney and Stacy Keibler kept a firm grip on each other as they stepped out in Beverly Hills Thursday night to support friend Ben Affleck's new movie Argo, which Clooney co-produced.
The ever-dapper Clooney even lovingly switched hands with his statuesque date when he was approached for a brief chat by young actor Aidan Sussman, who plays Affleck's son in the CIA thriller (it opens Oct. 12).
As they posed for photos, Clooney snuggled nose-to-nose with Keibler – his hand squarely resting on her tan back, which was fully on display in a sleek, black tank-style gown.

A snow storm, icy water, and record cold top the list of Michigan weather events on this day in history. From the National Weather Service archives here are the weather events that happened on April 1.
1920 - 5 days after a flood began in Manistique, water was still sweeping into the west side of Manistique. 70 families were rendered homeless. The Paper mill was flooded on the first floor with 2 feet of water. The raging flood in Manistique washed out foundations and sent 125,000 feet of lumber into Lake Michigan which wiped out the Goodwillie Brothers box factory.
1923 - Winter persists into April as temperatures fall to a record cold 8° at Lansing and 9° at Muskegon. Alpena dips to -6°, Detroit 14°, Flint 7°, Houghton Lake -15°, Saginaw 8°, and Sault Ste. Marie -13°. For Sault Ste. Marie, Houghton Lake and Saginaw these are the daily record lows as well as the monthly record low temperature. This day also marked the fifth day in a row (March 28-April 1) of record low temperatures in Saginaw. Sault Ste. Marie observed 7 days in a row with record low temperatures, at or below 0°.
1929 - Alpena observes their greatest daily April snowfall with 12.5".
1960 - TIROS-1 (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) was the first weather satellite. This satellite lasted only 78 days in a polar orbit. The first image from it was a fuzzy picture of thick bands and clusters of clouds over the United States.
1963 - Ontonagon had a high temperature of 70°. The first heavy ice flow came down the Ontonagon River and jammed up against the railroad bridge causing flooding over the island between the river and slough and throughout the center of Ontonagon spreading icy water from 2-3 feet deep. Ontonagon had boat houses demolished along with boats due to flooding and boats were swept out into Lake Superior or wrecked by the ice. Damage to the city was estimated at over a half million dollars in 1963.
1970 - An April Fool's Day snowstorm drops 10.2" of snow on Lansing. This is the greatest daily snowfall for the month of April at Lansing. Another 7" of snow falls the next day.
1987 - An F0 tornado touched down briefly in the early afternoon during a snow squall on the south shore of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior about 5 miles NNW of Brimley, MI. A mobile home had its roof ripped off and insulation sucked from the walls. The tornado was on the ground for 0.10 mile and the damage width was 10 yards and it caused $2500 worth of property damage.
2008 - A low pressure system originating over the Plains deepened as it moved into the Western Great Lakes on March 31st. Snow mixed with rain and sleet over east and south central counties of Upper Michigan on the afternoon of the 31st and then fell heavy at times through the evening of March 31st into April 1st. The combination of heavy snow and north winds gusting as high as 50 mph near the Lake Superior shore led to blizzard conditions as well as numerous power outages over Marquette and Alger counties. Weather Forecast Office in Marquette recorded record daily snowfall of 15.8 inches and record daily water equivalent of 1.83 inches. Observers at Rainbow Lodge and Newberry measured eight inches of snow in 12 hours. Storm total snowfall amounts of six to nine inches were reported across Keweenaw County ending on the morning of the 1st. North winds gusting over 30 mph at times also caused considerable blowing and drifting of snow.
2010 – Record warmth across the state, both for the warm low and mild high temperatures. For the minimum temperatures, records include Grand Rapids with 52° and Muskegon with 57°. Even more record highs fall with readings that include Grand Rapids with 82°, Muskegon 78°, Lansing 80°, Detroit 80°, Flint 79°, and Houghton Lake 79°.

Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Spirals RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 8 11
In her kitchen in Ponca City, Oklahoma, LaDonna Reed spreads chicken breasts with a creamy filling, rolls them up, wraps them in bacon and bakes them. For a spicier version, she suggests that you try using sliced jalapeno peppers instead of green chilies.
- 4 bacon strips
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt, optional
- 1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies
- 1-1/2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp; drain on paper towels. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Sprinkle with seasoned salt if desired.
- In a small bowl, combine the chilies, cream cheese and garlic. Spread over one side of each chicken breast. Roll up and tuck ends in. Wrap each with two bacon strips; secure with toothpicks.
- Place in an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 2 servings.

First 'Angry Birds Space' Gameplay Footage Appears
Finally, after suffering through not one but two live-action trailers that do little to show off the actual game part of Angry Birds Space, the first bit of gameplay from the game has made its way online. Now, this footage wasn't released by Chillingo, meaning there is no set-up or context for the single level that is on display, but if just this small taste is any indication of the larger package, fans might be in for an entirely new experience. As expected, Angry Birds Space incorporates all of...

Extinct Mammals
Animals with milk-producing mammary glands are called as mammals. Speciation and extinction are important aspects of Ecology. Speciation is a scientific term for evolution of biological species and extinction stands for end of biological species. In simple words death of last animal of specific specie is called as Extinction of the specie. It is an ongoing process.
Mammals which have bin extinct are called as "Extinct Mammals" Naturally also many Mammals have become extinct. If a specie can not sustain the changes which are happening in the environment in which he is living and are not able to reproduce in that environment, then slowly the specie becomes extinct. In the same way Dinosaurs got extinct. But in the last millennium many mammals have rapidly became extinct because of human activities. Hunting and destroying their natural habitat are the main causes of Extinct Mammals. Many species of mammals are on the verge of extinction. Earlier man was used to hunt the animals mainly for food and rarely to protect himself from them. But now days animals are being killed for economic gains. This is disturbing natural food cycle in nature.
The first specie which got extinct because of human activities was Dodo. Dodo was flightless bird. It's specie was closed to duck. It was used to be about 1 meter in height. The dodo lived on Mauritius islands and from late 17th century the dodo has extinct. The dodo was extincted because of excessive hunting. The incident is so famous that an English phrase arouse from it, "to go dodo's way" which means to become extinct.
Some examples of Extinct mammals are Tasmanian wolf, Cave bear, Irish dear, Caspian tiger, Bali tiger, Golden toad etc. Some times extinction from a specific geographical area is also possible. For example cheetah has been declared as extinct in India. It was purely because of hunting that this specie which was totally evolved as per the requirements of the environment got extinct. The government has planned for reintroduction of cheetah in India. In India more than 250 species have been declared as
endangered species
. This is a very serious problem around the world these days.
Main reasons for extinction:
There are many reasons which directly on indirectly contribute for the Extinct Mammals. Some of the reasons are as follows,
Natural causes eg. Natural climatic change
Destroying their natural habitat
Global warming
Steps that can be taken:
There are many ways in which we can help protecting endangered species from extinction.
Strict application of animal rights
Totally stop the hunting of animals
Not to destroy natural habitat of animals
The flow of food cycle must be kept in smooth flow. If that does not happen then it will be directly hazardous to human specie. The steps towards not to Extinct Animals should be followed. We have only one mother Earth and we have to save it for our generations to come.

Copyright 2004, 2005 Lisa Kraus
Editor's Note: To
celebrate its fifth anniversary of being online, the Dance Insider
is revisiting its Flash Review Archives. This Flash Review originally
appeared on February 11, 2004. The Deborah Hay Dance Company gives
Hay's "The Match" its Paris premiere October 26 at the Centre Pompidou,
as part of the Festival d'Automne.
NEW YORK -- I have long
thought that a designation like Japan's "National Living Treasure"
is the only moniker that could properly identify certain of the
dance world's greats. Seeing Deborah Hay's "The Match" at Danspace
Project at St. Mark's Church this past weekend makes it clear that
Hay is a National Living Treasure, having forged a unique mode of
performance that lives vividly, unfolding before our eyes.
How often in recent
years have I bemoaned that I can't see the person inside the dancing
body? As Gertrude Stein said, "There's no there there." Here, in
"The Match," it is the body/mind of the performer that is visible
above all else. Not only that, continually dancing on a razor's
edge of nowness brings exhilaration to dancer and audience alike.
Mark Lorimer begins
in the simple square of black flooring, softly lit by Jennifer Tipton.
He's wearing ordinary comfortable clothing and he prances. He prances
more, here and there, tracing a floor pattern, opening the space
between his legs wider, simply shifting weight or speed in silence
except when a creaky platform provides a spot to play. He goes out
of the space and returns. The prancing continues -- why stop? This
introduction downshifts us into a sensitized way of watching, with
patience, with curiosity. It's a symphony of quiet.
Soon the other three
dancers enter, voices mumble, then sing softly, clear lines are
created and shifted in the space as every dancer has their own occupations.
Whole bodies are activated, gestural, always looking about from
any joint or surface. There's a sense of purpose and a quality of
necessity; anything anyone does seems just what needs to happen
at that moment.
Agreements have been
made about clean endings and beginnings of sections. Moments of
a shared action or spatial picture punctuate an otherwise easily
shifting individual landscape. As "The Match" progresses, sections
arise and dissipate -- everyone joins sounding "mmmmm" or creating
a soft unintelligible Tower of Babel. There's imitation of shapes
echoing through the space but never any easy hooks or licks; everything
transforms. Ros Warby and Lorimer are yelling at each other, then
suddenly they are voiceless, but still yelling. Emotion runs high
but never hangs on long; the shifting movement of emotional states
provides fuel for brief exchanges. There's a rhythmic song everyone
knows; it's funny as they sing it wordless, shuffling from one side
of the space to the other.
There's a puzzle here
-- we don't know exactly how much is known. We can see that the
dancers are creating their own dance while the overall progression
of forms is set. Still there's a unity in the whole that goes way
beyond the moments of shared intention -- is this a function of
the concept -- "The Match"?
There are more solos.
Chrysa Parkinson delivers an operatic panoply of proclamations --
a complaint, a cajole, a caress. Her voice and body slide all over
the map, yet each split second of the journey is full in itself.
This is virtuosity of an extremely high order.
Ros Warby has her moment
too, a cyclic little phrase that she has increasing difficulty executing.
As with Guilieta Massina in Fellini's "Nights of Cabiria," your
heart goes right out to her character, who's not having an easy
time of it but definitely has a heart of gold. Poor Ros, her plight
has her face puckered as if she's sucking lemons.
Wally Cardona's solo
is a star turn in that his means are stripped way down and he makes
much from little. His face, hands, and small shifts in balance tell
the whole story. Here Tipton's lighting creates a filmic close-up
of his head as gradually the others join the picture, crawling across
the space. What is it about this image that is so satisfying? Cardona
acts eyes wide, as if he is being acted upon in extreme ways. It
is utterly believable. The other dancers, like sheep in a meadow,
amble. Do we take this picture on faith because that is exactly
what the dancers themselves do? It IS reality, now. This gentle
image closes the show.
It is rare to see improvisation
with no ambiguity! These performers are also spectacular in their
understatement. They are people who look as though they could do
anything at all, and they might, but never for display.
"The Match" publicity
asks, "What if the potential to perceive all time as unique and
original, is not a theme, or movement style or goal, but a frame
for the performers to weave their bodily intelligence through a
choreographed melange of notable and hidden metaphors for the Match?"
Hay knows exactly what she is doing. The fruits of her decades of
practice of koan-like paradigms that have the effect of waking up
the performer and the audience are all right here. She is not just
creating dance. She brings her dancers to demonstrating a way of
being that has ramifications in every aspect of life. If that isn't
cause for awarding her a status of National Living Treasure, I don't
know what is.

The Obama administration, fellow Democrats and even some Republicans talk as though Islamic State (ISIL) popped out of thin air in June and seized large swaths of Iraq.
However, a new report published Tuesday by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point says the Islamic extremist organization built its fighting force and an effective recruiting mechanism to sustain it over a period of four years, dating back to the beginning of Pres. Obama's 2011 withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.
"ISIL did not suddenly become effective in early June 2014: it had been steadily strengthening and actively shaping the future operating environment for four years," the report from the West Point center said.
Flash forward to August 2014, and the administration has ordered airstrikes on Islamic State fighters in Iraq and ordered American pilots to fly over Syria in preparation for potential airstrikes on that blood-soaked Middle Eastern powder keg, as a divided Democrat Party splits.
Meanwhile, the administration has ordered nearly 1,000 American troops back to Iraq to protect American assets there. At the same time, airstrikes ordered by the president have destroyed millions of dollars in American military equipment furnished to Iraqi forces. The equipment was destroyed because Iraqi military abandoned their posts in the face of Islamic State attacks.
Mr. Obama, who campaigned on the promise of a speedy withdrawal of American forces from Iraq, now faces the increasing likelihood of conducting simultaneous air wars in Iraq and Syria just as endangered Senate Democrats are facing midterm elections.
Making matters worse according to political analysts, the Obama administration has gone rogue, sidestepping Congress on illegal immigration and ignoring congressional approvals over the new military conflict in Iraq.
Further alienating the White House, and some say Democrats, the administration has failed to put together a viable Western military coalition willing to fight alongside the U.S. in Iraq and Syria.
Without a clear plan including an exit strategy, the administration faces a divided constituency that is increasingly wary of Mr. Obama's public vow to use Executive Orders in deciding matters of immigration and war.
There is uneasy talk of mutiny within The Democratic Party regarding Mr. Obama's foreign policy on Iraq and Syria. During Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, the administration even produced a video titled "Ending the War in Iraq: A Promise Kept."
Furthermore, the West Point report outlined a stream of advance warning signs, including Islamic extremist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi "re-booting" of the ISIS organization in 2010. The report said it has developed a "highly-motivated cadre of light infantry forces" since 2012, "while launching major attacks like a wave of car bombs across multiple cities that lasted until the end of 2013."

Cedar Neck Road between northbound Route 1 and Bucks Road in Milford will be closed from 5:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. on July 23 due to a construction project.
The Route 1 and Route 30 grade separated intersection project requires DelDOT's contractor George & Lynch Inc. to tie in the old Cedar Neck Road to the relocated Cedar Neck Road, causing this temporary closure.
The detour will guide traffic on northbound Route 1 to eastbound Cedar Beach Road, making a right onto Sapp Road and returning to Cedar Neck Road.
The rain date for this closure is the same time frame on the following day, July 24.

I did not start this thread to bash the console ... just the online support.
But as the bullets have been fired ... and you can't put them back in the gun you SONY fan boys ... so as XBOX squad leader I am duty bound to respond
The impression I have from our forum is that XBOX console failures are only slightly higher than PS3 console failures for TOG members. (about even I am guessing but I don't have the time to check all the posts so I will grant the PS3 some leeway here )
The media and other sources have bashed M$ constantly over the failures of the launch consoles, but to M$ credit they have supported their product in the warranty department very well. (Sure you could argue that the warranty service would not have to be so generous of the console was better made, but the fact is the build quality is vastly improved for the current release of consoles and you are still covered for 3 years on the RROD).
I have had a number of PS1's and PS2's die on me in the past and I guarantee you the SONY warranty service was no where near the quality of the XBOX and XBOX 360.
Back to the point though, hardware wise, I am sure I am on record as stating that I think the PS3 is a better device. (This may change if one of my PS3's goes faulty though )
What I am referring to in this thread is the online quality. In this fast paced information age, we as gamers want our online services to be a respectable speed.
These four things detract from game play, waste time and make the service they are connected to look amateurish and substandard.
Unfortunately to date my (and I stress my) experience with the PSN has been a frustrating example of the above points.
Yes I have had an XBOX die on me, but it was repaired quickly and I was back playing within a week and a half.
Bag the 360 all you like and scoff at the fees for XBOX live, the fact is that online gaming / support is far more stable and fun on the XBOX. (And as a side point, updates for the console or games are free ... you do not have to have a gold live subscription to get them ... and they are still only seconds to minutes to download.)
The only thing that the PSN has over XBOX live is that it uses real dollars when showing a price for a game or content. I CAN NOT COMMEND SONY ENOUGH FOR THIS! (I hate M$ points so much! )
SONY consoles would have RROD too when they failed, but they had to take them out to cut costs ... just like the media card readers, extra USB ports, etc.
(Climbs down from soapbox) ... "Ok SONY boys ... bring it!
(Oh ... and just so I am clear, this is still a friendly debate between learned colleges of the gaming community right? This post is not a flame attack, nor is it inciting a flame war.)

ISP's aren't perfect 100% of the time, just ask telsta customers

Baking, whether we are talking about bread, cake, cookies, or whatever, is about to get significantly easier. As of today, July 28, 2014, PantryChic is accepting pledges to their Kickstarter campaign with an objective of taking the guesswork out of measuring dry ingredients and with the added benefit of getting those ingredients organized into airtight canisters for easy-stack storage. The PantryChic Store and Dispense System could be just the thing to simplify baking and eliminate the mess and clutter of bags, boxes, and bins in the cupboards.
If you like getting creative in the kitchen, but really dislike the hassle, mess, and potential inaccuracies of volumetric measuring, then the PantryChic is for you. Instead of messing with bags, scoops, measuring cups, and the rules concerning scooping, leveling, and pouring, PantryChic uses clear, airtight canisters and a dedicated dispenser and scale to keep your dry ingredients at the ready.. Each canister contains an RFID chip which can store over 50 pre-programmed ingredients to make sure what is being measured is being measured correctly every time. Cool.
- Built in scale: Measures & converts with five units of measure from which to choose
- Bluetooth connectivity allows users to access recipes through the PantryChic app which seamlessly connects to PantryChic's ingredient dispensing system
- Dispenser loads directly into mixing bowl
- Rectangular canisters make for easy stacking & storage
- Integrated traditional scale with tare feature can be used with the dispenser or by itself
- Simplifies ingredient preparation
- Minimizes clean up

TC TO CHARLES TAIT; 13 May 1825; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18250513-TC-CTA-01; CL 3:324-325.
Mainhill, Ecclefechan, 13th May, 1825
My dear Sir,
I hope Mr Mitchell1 did actually call on you on Thursday, as he had promised to me, and explain the unlucky cause of my absence on the preceding evening. Perhaps this failure on my part may be the means of introducing Mr M. to your custom and acquaintance; an arrangement that will give me much pleasure for the sake of both parties, Mr M. being a person of great worth as well as classical learning, and likely from his merits in the New Academy to become a rising man among you.2
The best apology which I can make for my quick retreat is to send you my plan of our advertisement, the only piece of business that had any right to delay me. I am still of opinion that your Brother and you will be able to concoct some thing far more fitted for the eye of the market than any thing you can expect from me: mean while here is what I have devised, and what may do in fault of better:
"German Novellists [underscored twice]; a series of Tales, Romances and Novels, selected from the works of Goethe, Schiller, Wieland, Tieck[,] Paul Richer, Lafontaine, Musäus, Hoffman[,] La Motte Fouqué and others; with introductory essays, critical & biographical; the whole intended to convey within a moderate compass some accurate impression of the chief Writers in that department of German Literature.
"Three volumes will be ready in November."
This of course you can alter according to your own good pleasure: I shall be anxious for a sight of it so soon as you have opportunity.
I have said "November," tho' I can scarce promise positively. However I should wish to go to press some time about September; and if my health will allow me, as there is considerable probability, I hope so to manage. I have to thank you for Tieck's Phantasus,3 a work I wanted tho' I called it by another name: had I Lafontaine and Hoffman, I should now be pretty well supplied. If Mr Buchanan, or any of your other friends, can furnish these or any books which you might reckon useful, I make no doubt you will send them without delay. My present stock will reach me to-morrow; and I calculate on beginning Werter next week.4
With best respects to your Brother, believe me always,
My Dear Sir, / Sincerely yours, /
Thomas Carlyle—

Law Blog Obituary: Brooklyn Federal Judge David Trager
David Trager, a federal judge in Brooklyn perhaps best known for presiding over a racially charged case in the Crown Heights neighborhood, died on Wednesday at his home in Brooklyn. He was 73. According to this NYT obituary, the cause was pancreatic cancer.
Trager was nominated to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton in 1993 following a three-decade career as a lawyer, state investigation commissioner, federal prosecutor and law school professor. He took senior status in 2006, but, according to the NYT, worked full-time until recently.
But he was perhaps best known as the judge in the trial of two black men, Lemrick Nelson Jr. and Charles Price, who were convicted in 1997 of civil rights violations for their roles in the killing of a Hasidic scholar, Yankel Rosenbaum, in 1991 on a night of mob violence in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
The ruling was overturned by the Second Circuit five years later. The appellate panel ruled that Judge Trager had gone too far in his efforts to try to seat a racially and religiously balanced jury. Nelson was retried and convicted again. Price ultimately pleaded guilty.
In the early 1970s, Trager (Columbia/Harvard Law) served as an assistant federal prosecutor in Brooklyn and an associate professor at Brooklyn Law School. He taught constitutional law at the school, where he was a full professor from 1978 to 1993 and the dean from 1983 to 1993.
As the United States attorney in Brooklyn in the mid-1970s, Mr. Trager was known for vigorously pursuing organized crime.

WTF!? groovy why did you close that thread?
what was wrong with it??
at least give a reason for closing it instead of acting like a 3 year old
Because of Thrick's wee little joke? Seems a bit odd...
Let's fast forward a few hours or so....
1. This thread gets closed too.
2. Explanation demanded from user base
3. Darth explains it is because a. you could have PMed him the complaint/question, and b. because my thread should have gone in the games forum
4. I retaliate, saying that my thread wasn't supposed to be a game, and I was teasing everybody, and there was a perfectly good explanation for it, involving large doses of Tim Schafer, and that indeed one of the people making it into a lame thread in the first place was Darth Groovy with retarded "no" posts.
5. All the users stand in a corner, throwing insults at all the mods, standing in the opposite corner. Natty comes on the scene.
6. Everybody gets angry; the mods start a few sarcasticly titled threads.
7. The users get angry for the mods created sarcastic threads, demanding a reason that they shouldn't create such threads.
8. The argument continues for a while.
9 Everybody eventually argues into a tired stupor, and gives up.
10. A stony silence remains between the members, who all silently hate each other, until the next thread is closed. Then rinse and repeat.
Did I capture the life cycle of this forum in ten easy steps, or WHAT??? :rolleyes:
sadly yes. yes you did
Aw, and I just hate it when somebody spoils the ending! Okay, let's end it now.
1. I should have been more concise about my thread, so that people didn't think it was a game, or moved it into the games forum.
2. Darth shouldn't have posted needlessly if he wasn't planning on contributing, and should have offered and explanation as to why he was closing it.
3. You should have left this thread in feedback or PMed him.
4. We should all learn to love. Peace, man, peace.
I have only one question. Does anybody else want some of this stuff? I finally know the meaning of life.
I didn't close anybody's thread. The Feral Chicken closed it, then he opened it, and deleted his last post.
Only two threads I ever closed here, were in the feedback forums, as a favor to Neil Joshi.
For future reference:
1. I always post a reason before closing a thread.
2. I don't close threads over here, unless somebody needs me too as a favor.
3. NiKo, you could learn to be more civil and stop accusing me of stuff until you get your facts streight. You assume to much. And remember that the first word in Assume is "Ass", so stop acting like one.
well sorry. but you have to admit that it looked like you childishly closed the thread.
lets end this now. i hate these arguments
friendly handshake?
You got it bud. :)
*Shakes NiKo's hand*
See, the day I let Thrik, or anyone else ruin my day enough to just be mean and close the thread, is the day I sprout wings and fly to Georgia. :p
dude, not georgia. the weather there is terrible this time of year.
hmm strange that feral would come and close a topic. he left the forums long ago.
what did he say before deleting his post?
I figured Feral was long gone now...he was gone before I even got here. That was a random drive-by closing.
it's a mystery! perhaps it wasn't feral....and it was a mod or supermod or somebody with enough power to either hack into his account or to just find out his password and log in to his account, then close the thread secretly without anybody knowing it was them. thusly, they could get what they wanted, without any conflict, because nobody can confront feral since he's gone and it's supposed to be a "drop-in closing". but alas, the culprit's motive has been discovered by me! ohh yeessss. i'm so close to solving this crime i can almost taste it. and now remains the question...who. is. the mole? is it:
*long list of suspects*
and feral- if it really was you, and you're reading this, please don't post that it was you and ruin the fun.
and if it wasn't feral- don't worry, whoever you are. i'll find out who you are. and when i do...you'll be busted big time. you should be sweating bullets now. i'll find out.....i'll find out....
None of the supermods, or mods that are connected to TSB for that matter, dare close Yufster's threads. She knows where we live. :¬:
What, and you wouldn't WANT A personal visit from me??
:( remiiii!
Oh, you know I do hun.
Whoa, did i just say that?
Anyway, yeah, we don't close Yuf threads unless we have to. Or any for that matter. And groove certainly doesn't, he is first and foremost a visitor to the mi discussion boards, he mods elsewhere.
For what it's worth, I was disgusted at the clossure of that thread, but didn't want to do anything incase people started saying "the mods are totally undevided!" again.
Please, Groovy and Thrik, save your hatred for IRC. ;;
Wait a second... Yes!
*runs off to start a thread.*
Yeah man, me and Groovy are like this. *crosses fingers*
what exactly will happen if
ohh.. i know.. ;)
what? what did i say?
As a favor to you guys, I decided to ditch the sig. There were no sigs when I first registered, so i've gone back to basics.
Your welcome. :p

By my second day in the Amazon, I was getting cocky. The storied jungle had yet to produce a single peril: no colossal serpent or poison dart, no maggots embedded in flesh. We were hiking inside a viny moss-green shroud, a day's journey by boat from the nearest town with motorized vehicles. The chattering treetops blotted out the sun, and we sweated in the claustrophobic stillness below, all of us soaked in the high-octane repellent DEET to ward off malaria- and dengue fever–carrying insects.
"I've seen more mosquitoes in upstate New York than I've seen on this walk," I cracked. Within seconds of my utterance, a cloud of them materialized around the head of our guide, a shamanically trained Indian, then fanned out to attack the hikers' exposed flesh. Slapping, scratching and spraying on more repellent, the group had just finished cursing me for conjuring the swarm when a villager with a machete on his belt stepped out of the tangled shadows to show us a yard-long anaconda neatly coiled around the end of a large stick. The serpent was utterly still, apparently sleeping, and I decided to venture behind it for a photo op. But the instant I stepped forward, its golden eye looked up and met mine, and I knew what would happen next. The creature darted to strike, missing me by inches.
My drawers stayed dry, but just barely. It does not take long for the jungle spirits to humiliate society's day-trippers. Chastened, we resumed walking along the muddy path in our -synthetic quick-dry clothes. It was easy after that to envision the forest goblin the Amazonians call the curupira—a gnome-like creature that sleeps in the great buttressed tree roots—smirking from a shady perch. Natives believe the curupira's feet face backward, the better to leave misleading footprints to lure his prey, the disrespectful outsider, deeper into the woods.
The jungle is lovely, dark and deep. And oh, the greens. There are 16,000 tree species in the Amazon, some still unnamed and each with its own shade of verde and its own world of insects and fauna. The ground is alive with moving bits—leaf-cutter ants endlessly hauling chopped foliage to their nests where they will masticate, then spit, forming a fungus on which they feed themselves and their young.
For seven days, we—two dozen souls on a riverboat—would drift in a Lindblad–National Geographic Expeditions vessel called the Delfin II on mile-wide muddy waters, exploring often nameless tributaries and hiking in the rain forest of Peru's Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. The area is known as the land of mirrors because of its glassine floodwaters that reflect the sky, turning the world surreal hues of violet and pink at dawn and twilight. It is a birder's paradise, air and trees filled with shrieking streaks of gold, indigo and crimson. Down below, the jungle produces numberless natural medicinals, from the shamanic spirit drug ayahuasca to cures for malaria, diarrhea and maybe even cancer.
The Amazon Basin is the largest tropical rain forest in the world that still exists mostly as Nature intended. Of course, Nature's intentions are rarely, if ever, in sync with humanity's. We love Nature's gifts of gentle breezes, babbling brooks, flora and fauna. But we are also perpetually at war—with her storms and floods, her predators large and her microbes invisible.
I've spent a good part of my own life at war with Nature. Aside from a few childhood years cavorting in the wetlands of Michigan, I have avoided Nature's course by artifice, medicine and good luck. No accidental pregnancies for me. No hairy armpits either. Now, in middle age, the inexorability of Nature is hitting home, and hard. After years of coasting along looking much younger than my age, I now see proof of my helpless submission to aging staring at me from the mirror. My dad has survived a diagnosis of prostate cancer, and we nearly lost Mom to heart disease. Friends from high school have already begun to die. There can no longer be any pretense that I will not succumb. I was lured to this place by its exoticism and beauty. But entering the jungle also meant tearing off the polite screens of modern existence and facing the cycle of life and death head-on. I was at once fascinated and repelled. What I didn't expect was to find myself looking from the bird life in the utterly careless blue skies to the decay of the jungle floor and thinking about my own mortality.
Down the River of Obsession
We entered the mighty Amazon River at nightfall, from a muddy port town called Nauta, about an hour-and-a-half bus ride from the nearest airport. As we arrived at the dock, the bus wheels sank into red muck. Dogs scampered in and out of the shadows as families tucked into Sunday dinner at tables perched in mud outside their thatched huts.
After our first night aboard the Delfin II, we were awakened at 5:30 am by a knock on the door. Every morning for seven days we would hear the same knock, inviting us to rise and go out exploring on a smaller boat, called a skiff. By 6 we were heading out into one of the Amazon's tributaries, the Marañón, the name an Indian word that means cashew. In the dawn light, the water was a sickly pinkish brown, reflecting the sky's washed silver-blue streaked with rose. Black-collared hawks wheeled, the three-toned whistle of the colorful toucan rang across the water, and two pairs of red-and-blue macaws—which live 50 years and mate for life—soared overhead. We turned from the main waterway into one of the narrow, nameless tributaries, where black water (yanayacu), stained by the tannins of rotting vegetation, lapped halfway up the trunks of vine-choked trees. Squirrel monkeys, living in troops of up to 300, scampered in branches, their upturned tails silhouetted against the sky. I later spotted a few of them for sale at the market in Iquitos, the largest town in the region. Locals prize them as house pets because they eat roaches and other insects.
The banks were lined with towering, large-leaved Cecropia trees, so suited to the river basin environment that they grow some six feet annually. Vicious Azteca ants creep along the bark, feasting on nectar that oozes from the leaves. Colorful tanagers feed on the ants. A brown, motionless clump on a high branch, examined through binoculars, turned out to be a three-toed sloth. We would see a lot of these strange, sleepy creatures—which resemble small, faceless men—as they dangled from tree branches, having gorged on leaves and gotten drunk on leaf alkaloids. The early Amazonian explorers, spotting these homunculi, could easily have imagined them to be that mythical man of the forest.
The story of the exploration of the Amazon is a story of death, disease and greed. Francisco Pizarro, conqueror of Peru, obsessed over stories of El Dorado, a jungle town made of gold. His half brother Gonzalo set off in search of it, in 1541, with a legion of ironclad conquistadores and 4,000 enslaved Indians. From the Andes, they traveled eastward. Within a year, the expedition disintegrated, ravaged by disease, hunger and Indian attacks. More failed expeditions followed; meanwhile, the native population was decimated by European diseases to which it had no immunity and by genocidal brutality that continued into the early 20th century.
The mystery of the Amazon, which seduces, then kills, outsiders, remains as strong today as ever. David Grann's The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon chronicles the enduring belief that a fabulous, sophisticated culture once existed deep in the jungle and its ruins might still be found. Grann describes the mind-boggling rigors of doomed early-20th-century explorer Percy Fawcett's various expeditions and the dozens of later explorers who went looking for him, only to die themselves.
Searches for the jungle's few remaining tribes haven't fared much better. One, undertaken in 2002, was the subject of a book by Scott Wallace, The Unconquered. Even with satellite phones and GPS, the modern-day explorers got lost and faced hunger, subsisting on monkey meat. As upper-middle-class 21st-century "explorers," we would face no such privations, but all of us were in search of our own jungle grail. For many of the passengers, it was the myriad bird and animal species. But after I'd seen a few toucans, monkeys and sloths, I found myself growing much more curious about the human inhabitants and their elemental struggles to endure.
Care and Aging in the Amazon
Once or twice a day, we'd pass a clearing, a river village with a few thatched huts on stilts, without walls, set on arise just above the muddy water's edge. These fascinated me. If we got close enough, we could see people inside going about their business, much the way city dwellers can look into apartment 12D across the street. What was it like to live so close to Nature, with the absence of walls only the most visible sign of total subjugation to her whims?
Before I signed up for the jungle trip, when I was still just toying with the idea, I read an excerpt from Jared Diamond's The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? Diamond describes how some nomadic hunter-gatherers still routinely leave behind the sick and aged, without tears, seemingly unmoved by the lonely deaths their loved ones will face. Shedding the weak and dying is also what evolution is about. Nature rewards the strong. I wondered how my son, asthmatic as a boy, would have fared, or how long my mother would have lasted without the lifesaving heart surgery she underwent a few years ago. I doubt I could have walked away from either of them, even if they were a drag on the community. And yet when I think about my own last days, I can only imagine begging my children to go on their way, to remember me strong and not stand by to witness death up close.
At a village called Puerto Miguel, I met and talked with a river family. Eugenia, 56, and her husband, Manuel, 57, shared their wall-less house with her mother, Dominga, 84, and their youngest child, a teenage son. The one-room hut was divided into a kitchen and living area on one side and a sleeping area on the other (four small beds crammed together, each covered by a mosquito net). Both Eugenia and her mother had given birth to seven children at home without ever seeing a doctor, let alone an OB-GYN. Whether each child got vaccinated depended on whether the Peruvian government was investing in visiting nurses to pass through poor villages that year.
Though both women had missing teeth (no dentists), their skin was unlined and their hair jet black. When she was in her early thirties, Dominga, who is illiterate, was walking in the village and heard a woman crying out in pain. She went into the house and, seeing the woman was in labor, took control and delivered the baby. "It was a miracle," she said—one that made her realize she had the skills to be a midwife.
Dominga's vigor and natural talents notwithstanding, Amazonian women's lives seem nasty and brutish, and their society is patriarchal. (An enduring forest myth is that menstruating or pregnant women will take away a hunter's powers.) But Manuel sat meekly beside his wife and mother-in-law, cutting plastic two-liter Inca Kola bottles into long strips, which he planned to use to create fencing for his small patch of crops. Eugenia joked that Manuel had taken to drinking elixirs made of bark and honey (with, I would later learn at a medicinal market, the occasional monkey penis tossed in for extra effect) to retain his sexual prowess, whereas she hadn't noticed any ill effects from her own aging.
In the absence of basic medical care, I had no idea how Dominga could live so long and look so alert and healthy for her age. Our guides credited the all-organic diet. The riverine people live from cradle to grave on fresh fish, subsistence crops they raise themselves and wild jungle fruits.
The porousness of Manuel and Eugenia's house—no walls, let alone doors—suggested a comfort level with the human and natural communities that is completely alien to any city dweller or, for that matter, most Americans. When I asked what she worried about in the middle of the night, given that they slept in the open, in a jungle teeming with snakes and other predators, not to mention fellow villagers, and that the rains were often very hard, Eugenia looked perplexed. She shrugged. "Tranquilo," she finally said, using the Spanish word for calm. For her, the hormone-induced insomnia that has been plaguing me for years was apparently a foreign concept.
Despite the appeal of organic foods and sound sleep, I could never go thoroughly Rousseau and start idealizing the lives of the jungle people. The defining characteristic of their existence is animal submission to Nature's whims. In the jungle and on its edges, there is no denying the frailty, if not the futility, of human intervention in the face of disease and death.
What Lurks Beneath
Days on the boat settled into a routine. Rise at dawn, ride in the skiff, return for breakfast, hike or skiff, lunch and nap. The midafternoon heat combined with the shush-shush-slap rhythm of the water against the hull was almost coma inducing. The eyelids drooped, even while the body remained upright. Even in my air-conditioned cabin, I felt pinned to the bed, rendered supine by heat and boredom.
With my head on the pillow, my eyelids fluttering open and shut, I watched the banks of the Amazon flicker by outside the window, as if in an old silent movie. In the land of mirrors, water becomes the sky and the sky waters. Sometimes we floated in rippling cumulus. The surreal landscape and heat spawned strange midday dreams. (Had that been New York City hovering on the river's muddy shore?)
The Amazon is a thing alive and undulating: During the rainy winter months, when the water can rise an astounding 50 feet, piranhas and anacondas swim among the tree branches. Then, when the water recedes, there is mud, mud and more mud. But there is also transcendent beauty, elusive, rarely motionless long enough to be contemplated. The giant iridescent indigo wings of the blue morpho butterfly or the red head of a tanager snag the eye for just seconds, enticing the glance deeper into the darkening woods.
Late one afternoon, we set off on one of the black-water tributaries for some alligator hunting. A warm, light rain fell. Armed with flashlights, we headed out in the forest to the shallow flooded areas where the caimans lie in wait.
Twilight lasts but a few moments near the equator. Billions of insects hissed, buzzed, sawed, their sounds interrupted only by the last coos and twitters of birds headed to their perches. At full darkness, we turned on the flashlights and aimed them at roots and water lilies, seeking the telltale golden glint of the caimans' eyes reflecting the light. We spotted a number of them, their heads utterly still as they waited for an unsuspecting fish or mammal to come within range of their jaws. Our flashlights also picked up a pair of golden dots watching from above—an owl standing sentinel atop a dead tree, its darting eyes reflecting our beam like a pair of tiny searchlights, scanning the ground for dinner. Beneath us, the black water whispered against the metal bottom of the skiff. We lowered our waterproof flashlights under the surface, illuminating the eerie night world of sighing grasses undulating around tree roots.
Suddenly a massive white orb appeared behind the scrim of green—the full moon. As we traveled onward, the moon flitted from one side to the other of the narrow waterway as the tributary meandered east and west. I was never more mystified at how the guides, all GPS free, found their way out of these green water mazes.
Completing the Cycle
The greeks spoke of the passage into death as a ride on a boat into an underworld where the dead would drink the waters of the river Lethe and forget their earthly life. I might wish that my own transition from life to death would feel like that ethereal moment on a tributary of the Amazon: painless, hallucinatory, ecstatic. Now home in New York, I know I only skirted the edge of that secret place. I saw enough to understand how muddy and forbidding it is, how man and beast alike submit to the rule that we are born and will die without leaving a trace. No dead animals last on the jungle floor, David Grann writes in The Lost City of Z. Insects and carrion birds transform the dead into something alive again within hours.
Birth, life, death, oblivion and birth again. That's the jungle. What if I had gone in deeper or been born there? Would I have been one of the lucky thrivers, or would I have been left behind? Would I have been pregnant at 14, mother of seven and toothless by 40, then sleeping through the night at 50, utterly tranquilo? Perhaps, like Eugenia, I would dream peacefully in the hour of the wolf rather than spend it wrestling to accept the fact that I am from the earth and to the earth I will return. Because in the jungle, the sweeter part of submission is the solace of witnessing how every death feeds a new, green life.
I do know there is a deeper place in the forest than any I have yet seen. I don't want to go there until I absolutely must. But it frightens me a little less now.

Henry Mills navigating through the sticky maze. Photo: Joe Armao
Young Henry Mills was among a crowd of more than 13,000 at Sunday's Children's Book Festival, making his way through the twists and turns of a ''sticky maze'' in the heart of Melbourne.
The maze, a brainchild of Polyglot Theatre and made entirely from newspapers, took out Little Lonsdale Street, between Russell and Swanston streets.
Premiering in 2011, the maze is an interactive labyrinth of see-through walls made of sticky tape, to which children stuck newspapers, pictures and messages.
Children's Book Festival at State Library
The Children's Book Festival was a free, all-day event during which young fans met their favourite authors and dressed up like characters from popular stories. Andy Griffiths, Jackie French, John Marsden and other prolific children's authors mingled with their fans at the Wheeler Centre in the State Library. Photo: Joe Armao
A collaboration between The Wheeler Centre and State Library of Victoria, the day-long festival features authors including Andy Griffiths, John Marsden, Terry Denton and Jackie French.
Publicist Tamara Zimet said the maze had a ''storytelling twist''.
''So the kids can play hide and seek all between it, but the great thing is that the kids actually build the maze,'' she said.

Hope Rescues is a state licensed, not-for-profit, no kill animal rescue located near Alton IL. This organization sprang from two compassionate friends who offered help to animals in need back in 2005. Jackie Spiker and Kim Lee took in 17 dogs from hurricane Katrina and found them loving homes. They funded everything out of their own pockets. They then went on as co-founders to build what is now known as Hope Rescues.
Jackie says:
"We came up with the name because at that time we were 'hoping' to rescue some dogs from the hurricane. The one thing that stands out about the dogs we rescue is that they all desire love and companionship much like humans do. They yearn for affection and welcome it immediately as soon as we walk them out of animal control."
That walk out of animal control is usually a walk that pulls these dogs back from the very brink of death. Hope Rescues physically goes to animal control and pulls these animals on their last day of life before they are euthanized. They are then placed into foster homes where they receive all the care and love an animal needs to return it to a healthy, happy and adoptable pet.
Hope Rescues has an army of volunteers that loves animals as much as Jackie and Kim do and they all go the extra mile to try to save as many animals as possible from death row and other harmful situations. According to their website, the group has rescued 2160 pets since 2005 and 2019 of them have been rehomed. 141 pets are available for adoption at this time.
Hope Rescues is very particular about the homes their pets go to and the adoption application is very lengthy. They ask many questions and will meet with a potential adopter before any decision is made. Trial visits are arranged before an adoption is finalized also so that the pet and adopter can spend some time together. They also ask to see the interaction between any pets the adopter may already have.
Their intent is to insure that a Hope Rescues dog gets the best home possible and that the dog will always be cared for. They keep in contact with adopters to check on how the animal is doing and there is a clause in the application that states that any dog adopted from Hope Rescues is to be returned to them if the family can no longer keep the dog.
As an all-volunteer organization Hope Rescues is funded by donations and a lot of fundraising activities. The Hope Rescues website lists several things people can do to help out even if they aren't able to adopt, foster or volunteer. The Hope Rescues Facebook page keeps everyone updated on any fundraiser activities that the group has going on as well.
If you would like to meet some of the great Hope Rescues dogs and the wonderful volunteers that take care of them you can attend one of their adoption events. These events are held every Saturday from 11: p.m. to 4: p.m. at PETCO, 6631 Edwardsville Crossing Drive, Edwardsville, IL. Stop by and say hello! Who knows, you may find a great pet waiting there just for you.
This St. Louis Pet Examiner will soon be sharing individual stories about the dogs that are available at Hope Rescues and about events they may be hosting in the area. Subscribe above to keep up to date. Thank you to Hope Rescues for allowing this writer to tell their story and to share their pets with my readers.

I have SOAP to RFC scenario. My client (3rd Party) has provided me below webservice :-
---> http://184.108.40.206/sapwebservice/service.asmx?op=save_so
--> I have Import the WSDL file as external definitions, Created an Service Interface u2013 Outbound with external Message .
I have two Queries :-
1. In 7.1, Sender SOAP Configuration, there is no option like (below) that we had in 3.0 & 7.0
u2022 Use Query String
Daflault XI Parameters
Default Interface Namespace
Default Interface Name
How to link the scneario with Interface (ESR) ?
2. How to Test this scenario ?
For sender soap adapter, you don't need to import WSDL as an external definition, instead you need to create DT, MT, outbound SI in ESR , sender soap channel in ID and then generate WSDL from ID which will be consumed by sender.
For more just search on SDN.
Hi Anshul,
--> If the client is providing the WSDL file they are consider as the service provider.So you need to consume the webservice using PI.
-->For consuming the Webservice you need to configure the receiver SOAP Adapter where you have to provide the SOAP Action and Target URL in the receiver CC.
-->In the PI 7.1 sender soap adapter will not have all the parameters like PI7.0,WSDL will be generated based on the sender agreement which is not there in PI7.0.Since from PI7.1 we have the concept of multiple operations.
Please re-check your interface designing,as per view it would be like SAP System (RFC Adapter)-->PI7.1--->Third Party Webservice(Receiver SOAP Adapter)
hi pavan kumar,
could you please explain more detail how i'm going to consume SAP PI with third party webservice because i'm need to develop a scenario which there are changes data in a program in SAP, i need to send the data to the third party app using their webservice.
SAP --> PI --> third-party webservice -->third party APP.

The downing of Malaysian Air Flight 17, the crash of an Algerian flight over Mali today (July 24, 2014), and the FAA's flight restrictions to the Tel Aviv Airport (lifted yesterday, July 23, 104) are making travelers nervous about the safety of their next international flight. In an ABC interview, just after the Malaysian crash, a frequent flyer in Rhode Island said : "If I was doing an international trip I would make sure that it wasn't going through an area that had hostile conditions or something. I'm really surprised they flew through there." There are at least 41 localized conflicts zones in the world that could pose a risk, according to the FAA and iJet International Inc. And, while downings like Malaysian Flight 17 are rare and experts are working to better identify danger zones, some flyers are always nervous regardless of global events.
Is it possible to fly more safely and know your flight path before you board the plane? Yes, there are a number of free and low-cost ways to take extra-safety measures.
First, check the US State Department's website for travel alerts and warnings here. While you are on the site, register for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). When you sign up you will recieve automatic warnings about the places you are traveling and the embassy or consulate will know where you are if trouble arises.
If you fly to risky and troubled areas, check out the iJet International Inc's Travel Risk Managment app. The app allows travelers to have access to security and medical assistance worldwide. It features an "I'm OK" safety button and an GPS locator (available iOS and Android, free).
As for flight routes, you can check your flight before you board. Here is a list of the three popular flight tracking apps check the route your plane will fly, barring any last minute changes. If you don't like what you see, check other airlines for different flight paths.
FlightAware (free, iOS, Android)
FlightAware's service area includes airspace real time maps (30 second delay) for flights operated by the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam), Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, the United Kingdom, and France. FlightAware's secondary service covers scheduled major airline operations at any airport in the world. It may provide real-time positions of the flight if it is adequately equipped with automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) tracking. Some airlines send FlightAware satellite position reports from aircraft worldwide that augments other position data and provides transoceanic coverage as well. Free app for iOS and Android. LINK
FlightTrack5 ($4.99, iOS, Android)
Scheduled flight paths are only one feature of this app, which was acquired by Expedia. It will help you navigate airports and find gates. FlightTracker has an offline feature that allows you to get information on flight updates, delays, gates and cancellations without WiFi. A parallel app, called FlightBoard, allows you to check and share flight arrivals and departures with coworkers, friends and family. This app will let you know about those annoying last minute gate changes that airlines are horribly poor at letting you know about. Flight crews who commute love this app. LINK
TripTracker (free, iOS)
This app is a one-stop shop for all your travel, including real-time flight plans, delays and weather reports. It also keeps track of all those other little details, like hotels, rental cars and limos. It's sister app, PageOnce will integrate all your finances into your travel plans, which makes it perfect if constant travel is part of your job. LINK
