Since US Airways Group is the acquiring entity, will the new airline use the AWA Cert or AA Cert and will the call sign for the New American Airlines be CACTUS or AMERICAN ???
[Edited 2013-02-21 08:49:24]
|Quoting wrldtvlr (Reply 1):
Without any insider knowledge, I would be my farm on the new callsign being "AMERICAN", especially with HQ remaining in Dallas.
As for the operating certificate, I can see them keeping the AA cert for "historical" purposes.
|Quoting wrldtvlr (Reply 1):
especially with HQ remaining in Dallas.
|Quoting Viscount724 (Reply 7):
I agree the callsign is almost certain to be "American" for an airline named "American", but "Cactus" would have the advantage of brevity (only 2 syllables instead of 4) considering how congested ATC frequencies at busy airports can be.
|Quoting NWADC9 (Reply 9):
I've heard it pronounced 'Mer'can to shorten it to two syllables.
|Quoting Beardown91737 (Reply 11):
I would like to see AWE as the IATA,

Beautifully written, artfully compiled, this book caught me from the first sentence. A bit painful because of the recent deaths of my parents, but because of that I can also see how every word rings true.

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 65 reviews
For the price we expected more. The forest setting was nice. The man at reception was less than welcoming. Two of the three hot plates on the stove and two lights did not work.
Lovely. Only problem is it was so hot and the ceiling fan just didn't cool the room down. Also it is right next to the railroad tracks so it was noisy at times.
we will recommed
A great sister gathering with days spent at Banff, Lake Louise, Moraine and Emerald. Soaks at hot springs coming and going. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed lazy mornings drinking coffee on the deck and enjoying a glass or two of wine in the Adirondack chairs by the creek in the evening. The table in the cabin was perfect for scrabble and cards late into the night. The restaurant was excellent. Thanks for helping me celebrate my 60th in style!
Perfect hideaway for family or couple to enjoy the secluded area around Baker's Creek. Beautifully kept grounds and cabins. For a more private experience get an individual cabin. The staff is pleasant the surroundings are spectacular.

Sadly this is the case in the latest moribund volume of the Anita Blake series, "Danse Macabre." The entire plotless, meandering mess seems to have been written for two reasons: money, and to blow a big raspberry at Laurell K. Hamilton's readers. Given the only real plot development is a pregnancy scare, it doesn't seem worth it.
Anita has a new dilemma -- she might be pregnant, which isn't surprising for a woman who has spent the last few books being shagged left, right and every way to Sunday by every vamp, human and lycanthrope imaginable. What's more, many powerful vampires are arriving in St. Louis, including a vampiric ballet troupe in Jean-Claude's territory.
As if this weren't bad enough, the ardeur seems to be showing signs of seeking out new sex partners for her, and is affecting her lovers as well -- and her lycanthropic and vampiric edges are starting to affect those around her. Can Anita regain control of her increasingly unstable life?
Those desperately hoping that the plot will return in "Danse Macabre" can hang their heads and weep. There isn't a shred of actual plot in this book that isn't connected to the ardeur in some way -- no detecting, no zombies, no nothing. In fact, the biggest chill in this entire book is the pregnancy scare.
This isn't a plot in the sense that it really goes nowhere and nothing ever really comes of it; the book is left open-ended for the inevitable next volume. Even Hamilton doesn't seem to know what to do with the plot, since the writing is repetitive and often rather colourless.Read more ›
I have to say that I agree with all the other reviewers who say that there is almost no plot to this book whatsoever. I also noticed that it is poorly edited so that in places I felt I had missed a part of a conversation or a scene and found myself skipping back over pages to see if I had accidentally missed something. But no, it's just badly put together.
It seems that Hamilton is more concerned with giving minutely detailed information about the appearance of her characters (so many new people are introduced in this book starting with the exact different shades and length of their hair right down to the shoes they are wearing) while little thought is put into actually making them do anything.
The sex is really getting ridiculous at this point. Anita has gone from being the uber-virgin of the earlier books to the sorts of orgies only seen in illegal hardcore porn in this latest installment. It has gotten to the point that rather than being titillating it's now just boring.
If you are new to the Anita Blake series I heartily recommend you read no further than book 9 (Obsidian Butterfly) as the earlier books are still by far some of the best vampire/supernatural fiction I have read (and I have read A LOT).
Will I buy the next book when it arrives? Probably. Will it be worth reading? I doubt it.
It's a shame as I really liked the concept of a vampire ballet troupe. So much potential to write something interesting. It does make you wonder how Hamilton managed to get the last few books past the publishers. I had to skim past the terrible, cringe inducing sex scenes. No more dialogue, Hamilton, I beg of you. If you must include it, just tell us what they are doing but no more talking between characters. I actually had a moment of paranoia on the tube in case somebody might have been reading over my shoulder. The only ardeur scene I bothered with was the bit with Asher but that is only because I like his character. I wish I hadn't, though, as Anita's character just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I just don't get the appeal of this heroine and the interest in her by the main characters just makes me think less of them too. She even managed to get Otto on her side. Shame, after reading this book, I would be glad if he'd finished her off back in Obsidian Butterfly, the last of hamilton's book to have a fairly decent(ish) plot.
I generally find that if a page features the words, ardeur or Richard (If only he'd been killed off back in Blue Moon), then it is a good idea to skip ahead as I have already read it before (in the previous four or five books).
I am only hoping that Charlaine Harris doesn't fall apart like this when she releases book 10 this year.
This volume was an overlong vignette covering a day or so where Anita has a bust up with her friend, goes to her lover's 'lair' where the main part of the action occurs. Then in the last few chapters they go to a ballet and end up back at her lover's lair again.
Danse Macabre does not have a true beginning/middle/end setup, and as such cannot be considered as a standalone volume. You really do have to have read other Anita Blake volumes to get what's going on. Any character development achieved in this piece could have equally well been knit into a book that actually had a story.
The Anita Blake books that anyone will enjoy:
1. Guilty Pleasures (1993)
2. The Laughing Corpse (1994)
3. Circus of the Damned (1995)
4. The Lunatic Cafe (1996)
9. Obsidian Butterfly (2000)
That's right, there's only 5 out of 14 - the numbers refer to their position in the series. These books have more complex plots than any of the others and don't centre round sex, unlike Danse Macabre.

Skip to comments.Diana death photo sparks outrage
Posted on 07/13/2006 9:54:24 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher
AN Italian magazine today sparked uproar in the UK by publishing a picture of the late Princess Diana in the wreckage of the car crash that killed her.
Harrods owner Mohammed Al Fayed, whose son Dodi also died in the car crash said he was "sad and angry" over the photo.
"This heartless pursuit of money brings shame on those responsible for producing such a vile production," he said.
"It makes me sad and angry that a magazine would reproduce an image of the princess as she clung desperately to life."
A photo of the princess being given oxygen at the crash scene appeared in the weekly Chi magazine.
Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed died in the crash in Paris in 1997, along with their chauffeur, Henri Paul.
Mr Al Fayed said the editor of the Milan-based magazine, and the author of a new book about the crash, had "no thought" for Diana's family, particularly her sons.
But Britain's domestic Press Association news agency quoted Chi editor Umberto Brindani as saying the photo - headlined "World Exclusive: The Last Photo" - was "touching" and "tender", not offensive.
"She is not dead in the picture but looks as if she is a sleeping princess," he was quoted as saying.
"I published the picture for a very simple reason - it has never been seen before. In my opinion it is not a picture which is offensive to the memory of Princess Diana.
"As a thorough and informative news magazine we have merely reported the publication of a book in France regarding Princess Diana's death."
The photo is taken from a book by crime writer Jean-Michel Caradec'h called Lady Diana: The Criminal Investigation.
It is said to also include photos of Diana taken shortly after the car crashed at high speed in a road tunnel as well as autopsy diagrams detailing the extent of her injuries.
Reaction to the publication in Britain - where there was an unprecedented public outpouring of grief after the princess' death - was one of outrage, with tabloid newspapers leading the charge.
Mass circulation tabloid The Sun carried a front-page headline "Shame on You", claiming there was "worldwide fury" at the publication and that Diana's sons William and Harry were "sickened and appalled".
The Daily Express, which has run regular prominent stories on the crash investigation, claimed London-based distributor IPN was considering whether it was acceptable to import copies of Chi into Britain.
Claptrap Charlie & his horse are happy.
This is awful. Can someone post the shot?
I haven't seen the picture and really don't care too but pics are posted every day of people injuried.
Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Whoever she was, she was some kids mother and I'm not going to bad mouth her. I don't like the double standard for the media and elite though.
Whoever she was, she was some kids mother and I'm not going to bad mouth her. I don't like the double standard for the media and elite though.
Well..I'll give her that...she did her job..gave the Royals some good looking boys alright!
Alot of people get colonics....I have no idea why your would bring that up for this conversation.
That's real pleasant.
I never say stuff like that for fear that somebody will be saying that about me someday.
What is it about this phony baloney woman that makes people become spineless jellyfish...She was a whiny whore. It wasn't enough for her to be a Princess, beloved by the peasants. She was always bitching about something...Boo freakin hoo. That's how I feel now and that's how I felt then. She got what she deserved, sleeping with that Arab, and not just any Arab, the son of the Royal Family's arch enemy. JUST to embarrass the Royal Family. Now, that's real classy, right?
Hildy, I could not agree with you on every word you typed. I think she was a fraud that just happened to look somewhat good. She actually sickened me with her horrible morals.
It's awful.
If she had lived.....she would have not been the same person that is for certain....and that picture proves it....((shudder))
You're right -- it's just awful.
Looks like her make up is a mess.
That's the fake one from 1997.
You can tell because the emergency telephone number on the placard is "999" which is the British 911 number. The French one is "112". So it's a photoshop fake someone in Britain made up.
That one is a fake and was being circulated in 1997.
French authorities said today that a photo circulating on the Web, allegedly of Princess Diana in the car wreck that killed her, is a fake.
A spokesman for Paris criminal police told Reuters today: "This is not a picture of Princess Diana's accident. It's a fake." Rescuers in the picture were not wearing standard French emergency services gear, he added. Also, a three-digit emergency phone number in the background--999--was not a French number and appeared to be British.
Since when have we believed ANYTHING the French told us?
Well thank God....geeees.....
The 999 number does give it away. It's as if there was a placard in the NY Subway saying call "999" for an emergency. Sorry, we use "911" here and France uses "112" for emergency calls.
You only have to worry about that if you live your life in a immoral way. Maybe saying she got what she deserved was bit extreme. I guess what I meant was I didn't feel much pity for her.
What do people who sleep with Chinese, Russian, or Cuban people deserve? Maybe they should die in a fiery plane crash???
> She got what she deserved, sleeping with that Arab,
Ummm... "I bet a 12-step program would show you how being bitter and hard-headed has caused you alot of grief in your life."
"I suspect there was someone in your life who chose the program over your strange version of compassion. I'm sorry for your pain."
"Having someone like you in their life will only make it worse."
Suddenly, you're starting to come into sharp relief. Just all P.O.ed about everything, aincha. Now, that's real classy, right?
I'm always amazed by your restraint. ;)
I'm going to tell you this once...don't follow me around and bring past arguments into present topics. It is an FR no no an I will report you. You really, really need help.
I didn't "follow you around." I wandered into this topic and saw... your interesting idea of compassion.
>>She got what she deserved, sleeping with that Arab . . .
> What do people who sleep with Chinese, Russian, or Cuban people deserve?
To be made to spend time with Hildy. That's teach 'em.
I'm upfront that I don't like many Arabs. I'm Jewish and they, as a culture, want me dead. What I really meant, however, was that this particular Arab she slept with was the arch-enemy of her in-laws. She did it on purpose to hurt them. That's what I meant.
ping for later
"...don't follow me around..."
I was not aware that we have devolved into internet stalking as a no-no. I have no dog in this fight; however, It just made me recall Truman's quote about the heat and the kitchen.
> I was not aware that we have devolved into internet stalking as a no-no.
It was not "internet stalking." It was a discussion from *yesterday* between two people who randomly bumped into each other *today.* FYI.
Seems to me, if a person goes on about compassion on Thursday, and then suggests that sleeping with someone from the wrogn race/religion on Friday merits death... the irony is worth mentioning.
Do what I'm going to do after this reply. Ignore it.
I don't know if you are a christian or a god loving person but this statement you made has got to be one of the ugliest things I have read.
Not good my friend...
> this statement ...
... was actually quoted from the now-removed post #7. Poor attribution can be an issue, people should do better. Leads to confusion rather annoyingly commonly.
Thanks for letting me know that..Quite Unbelievable Statement...
BTW: Totally agree with you!
I don't know if you are a christian or a god loving person but this statement you made has got to be one of the ugliest things I have read.
Not good my friend...
I am a christian and it might have been a bit over the top statement. I do seriously have a problem with someone who cheats on her husband and then after the divorce she went on all these trips with different guys. I mean I would have preferred her to watch over her children instead of running off on all the latest "activist" runs. I mean is raising her children more important than running around the world digging up mines. Honestly I don't know how many she personally dug up, but I can't imagine the time lost with her children was more benificial. Of course, it does not really matter what I think because she did what she felt was important. I am sorry that you had to read the ugliest statement (hopefully only on FR. lol) from me. thank you for pointing that out and when I reread it, I did think twice about what I wrote.
That's an understatement.
Dysfunctional upbringing, dysfuctional husband....young, insecure, too much to handle, not the maturity to do it....
...I think one has to look past the chic dresses, and ultra rich lifestyl.... and show some compassion.
Being rich and beautiful does not equal being at peace with oneself.
What kind of role model did she have?.....her mom ran off with an Argentine polo player.
...whatever her sins, they are held accountable now.
No need to slander her in death.
from your homepage: I went to Catholic School from K-12 and enjoyed it.
learn much about empathy ?
I have a wonderful family who I love and adore.
....and she had two sons who loved her dearly - may you never ever experience the same heartache
She got what she deserved,
Go back and read the tread....goodness you obviously don't know how to post. I NEVER said that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those words NEVER came out of my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEARN TO READ!!!!!!!
you said "She got what she deserved"
the other comments I referenced came from your homepage here
now - would you rather discuss the apparent lack of empathy in your posts, or resort to ad homs like "you obviously don't know how to post." or LEARN TO READ!!!!!!!
I have reread the thread and all I can figure is that you were quoting someone else in your post 14 and neglected to place quote marks or italics on it, making it appear as your own comment
is that the case
I cut and pasted somebody elses. I read through mine again and understand how that could happen. I will use quotes from now on. Have a good one. I am going to bed now. lol. Have a great weekend!!!
Thank you for your reply..I think it's really easy for us to stand in judgement of people and it's hard not to when you see such evil in the world, but we have to remember daily that GOD is always in charge and what is the greater Sin? You are right being famous, rich, beautiful does not equate with Peace and happiness, that comes from within which is the Holy Spirit.
From what I understand Diana was a Christian and I am sure she has a place in heaven...
No offense, but how can you be sure?
..what 'fruits of the spirit' did she exhibit?
I feel sorry for the person....she had wonderful opportunities, but not the maturity to accept/adapt to them...and I don't fault her for that.
But I never heard one word about her being a Christian, either from her or her family...so I'm just curious how you can be sure????
...She did 'good works' for charities, etc....that's true.
Is that what you base it on?
Well I guess you could say that it's based upon from what I know of Diana, when you say what *fruits of the spirit did she exhibit*? not sure what you mean?
Was she a sinner? of course but who isn't? did she make mistakes? of course but who doesn't?
I did not see her to have a evil heart more of a *troubled* heart.
Yes Murder, Adultery,
fornication are all sinful acts in the eyes of God, but so is:
Slander, Gossip, jealousy, envy, lustful thoughts, greed, selfishness,anger,lieing,boastful arogance.
Which is the greater sin?
I think denying GOD is, if you don't think you need to be forgiven by GOD almighty then you will be judged accordingly to all those sins I mentioned which is in the Holy Bible.

Hi My name is lori. I've been taking metoprolol for about 6mos for heart palpitations. About 4 mos ago I noticed my left eye stayed red all the time. I visited my opthamologist who thought my eye was infected. I was given a medication for my eye ..which didn't help. About 2 weeks later the other eye started getting red. I returned to the doctor and was given meds for allergies. After being on the meds fir 10 days I lost my voice and had sinus infection symptoms. Returned to my PC was goven prednisone which while I was on cleared up my eye issues. A few days ago it returned..both eyes are beet red. I started doing some research on toprol and I've come to think my red eyes are from the beta blocker. My plan is to return to my PC and try to get a different medication. I don't have any the side effects from this medication and it seems to be working great. However, my eyes look awful. If anyone knows of things I can do please share. Thanks Lori,
Is there any risk if you are taking both and I have a defibrillator.

Scoring 'Sold Out' Tickets at Face Value
We Set Out to Find Best Deals For Police Concert on the Web; A Gift Shop Rendez-Vous
Thanks to the Web, there are more ways than ever for music fans to score tickets to hot concerts. The first Police tour in 23 years presented an ideal occasion to test the options. It was high profile, but not an immediate sell-out. From the day tickets went on sale, there was plenty of inventory in the so-called secondary market, but seats were still available through TicketMaster for weeks, too.
So with a budget of $300 a pair, we set out 2½ months after tickets went on sale to try four methods for securing tickets: TicketMaster, StubHub, eBay and Craigslist. TicketMaster, which has a virtual lock on selling tickets to major music and sports events, has battled bitterly with rival resellers over their aggressive push into the secondary market. TicketMaster calls such reselling a ripoff of artists, concert promoters and fans alike -- not to mention a hotbed of counterfeiting and fraud. Most of the ticket-resale sites say they have customer-protection measures in place, and say they bring efficiency to a market -- dominated by TicketMaster -- that is notoriously bad at setting appropriate prices.
Are you as comfortable using brand-name sites such as Ticketmaster as you are buying from an individual vendor on a site like eBay? What are your tips for getting good seats to sell-out shows? Share your thoughts.
- See a breakdown of the online-ticket services.
We wanted to see for ourselves whether TicketMaster or its competitors actually offered clear advantages or disadvantages in terms of seat location, price, convenience or reliability.
Sometimes, though, concert promoters set prices efficiently the first time out. Despite a variety of tactics, we paid about what TicketMaster charged every time. The main advantage offered by resellers -- the ability to get tickets even after a show is sold out -- was relevant mainly for midrange seats. Some of the best seats did not even go on sale until the afternoon of the show, though at $260 each, they were too pricey for us.
The classic rock trio was scheduled to play three dates in the Los Angeles area, all at big venues, for a total of nearly 100,000 seats available for shows in the span of just four nights in late June. With the best seats priced at $260, not including service charges (others were sold for around $100 and $50), the secondary market seemed primed for rich bargain-hunting.
Three weeks before the first show, scheduled for June 20 at the 20,000-capacity Staples Center, we logged on to TicketMaster's Web site. The show had been on sale for months, and brokers online were already hawking heavily inflated tickets to what they called the "sold out" show. One would-be seller was asking $4,500 for a pair of front-and-center seats; that was on the high end of the market, but only by $1,000 or so. Others were fishing for hundreds of dollars for $50 seats in the nose-bleed section. It is impossible to know if these seats ever sell for close to such outrageous asking prices, since ticket-reselling sites like StubHub and RazorGator don't specify seat locations, and the same tickets may be relisted at lower prices.
In reality, plenty of seats were available at all three price levels, and after a few hang-ups thanks to TicketMaster.com's maddening habit of demanding that a customer decide within two minutes whether to pull the trigger on a transaction, we bought a pair of perfectly good seats not far above floor level, facing the stage at the far end of the arena.
Next up was StubHub. The site's design makes bargain-hunting extremely difficult. There is no ability to haggle with sellers, and the site does not display the exact location of seats for sale. Sellers were seeking thousands of dollars for what they described as prime seats, while even tickets in Staples' cheap section -- set on top of three levels of luxury suites -- started at $100 apiece.
Determined not to sit so high, we found what appeared to be a decent price: $150 for a seat fairly near the ones we'd just purchased from TicketMaster. Unfortunately, we hastily mistook the row number (six) for the number of seats available, and ended up stuck with a single ticket. Pairs of seats in the area were actually priced in the $400 range or higher, despite the fact that they could be had cheaper from TicketMaster. With $27 in commissions and shipping fees tacked on to a single ticket, StubHub turned out to be the most expensive of the options we tried.
The StubHub ticket arrived within a few days, while an email from TicketMaster said its tickets had been printed and were in the mail. The StubHub seat arrived by two-day mail; the TicketMaster seats did not. With one ticket in hand, and prices on all the secondary sites reaching $300 for midtier $100 seats, we took a breather and waited until closer to the show, to see whether asking prices dropped closer to our budget of $300 as the show approached.
Prices did indeed come down a bit. But the tickets we'd ordered from TicketMaster still hadn't shown up. Two days before the show, we called a customer-service number and after more than 20 minutes on hold, we arranged to have the original tickets' bar codes canceled (so that if they'd been pilfered from the mail, they would be useless) and have new ones waiting for us at the venue. We had to wait on hold for another 10 minutes to speak to a different representative to get our parking fee refunded. (The waits were frustrating but the system worked. The night of the concert, we swiped our credit card at a ticketing machine and out popped two tickets.)
The day of the show, the secondary-market sites heated up. EBay still featured a fair number of "floor" seats carrying outrageous price tags of $2,000 or more. A growing number of brokers also were touting the extensive inventories still on hand, even as they were seeking prices well above face value. Bargaining was looking like an increasingly viable option.
On the freewheeling classified-ads site Craigslist, meanwhile, offbeat proposals began popping up midday, including a desperate-sounding guy offering a free pair of tickets for a "cute, sexy and open-minded girl."
Even so, the best value to be had on either site was from a guy in Carson, Calif. -- 25 miles away -- offering a pair of decent seats for face value. The catch: They had to be picked up in Carson.
Around 2 p.m., a fresh look at TicketMaster revealed that a batch of excellent seats, near the stage, had just been released. This often happens the day of big shows, once the stage and lighting gear have been set up and the promoters have a feel for how many of the seats they have held back for the artists aren't actually needed, and how many seats they need to block off for the stage. The seats were priced in the top tier -- out of our range -- but were still the best value to be had anywhere that close to the show's 7:30 p.m. starting time.
In fact, it appeared that in our gusto to wait out the resellers, we missed a key window. By 4 p.m., it was clear that the only bargains to be had were for upper-deck seats -- something we considered the option of last resort, given the three tiers of luxury boxes beneath the top section. We posted a tickets-wanted ad on Craigslist, in hopes of flushing out scalpers. The calls came, but they all offered terrible seats we wouldn't consider at any price.
Finally, an email exchange and phone call with a twitchy-sounding character on Craigslist trying to unload two seats with a 45-degree rear view of the stage brought him down from $300 to $250 -- about what the seats would have cost from TicketMaster. We met him at a gas station, cash in hand, and picked up the tickets.
On eBay, meanwhile, we found a phone number for a local broker and called him about a nearly identical pair of tickets, also priced at $300. He wouldn't take $200, but for $250 the deal was done; the broker even accepted an American Express card number over the phone -- something that made us wonder if we were setting ourselves up for fraudulent charges later. So far it hasn't been a problem.
It was now 5 p.m. The broker said he would email them by 5:30 p.m. Emailing tickets is possible thanks to TicketMaster's "Ticketfast" system. It makes ticket delivery quick, but it also makes fraud ridiculously easy. All an unscrupulous seller has to do is pass along the email but keep a print-out for himself. If he arrives at the show first, the email recipient is out of luck.
By 5:45 p.m. the tickets hadn't arrived, and we had to head out for the show. During a heated phone call from the car, we threatened to dispute the broker's charge if he didn't find a way to get the tickets to us in the neighborhood of the venue. Magically, he located an associate who could have them held at the lobby gift shop of a Holiday Inn near the Staples Center. These appeared to be the sketchiest of the tickets: They came with an unknown pedigree and had been printed from some stranger's computer. But when we strode up to the arena just in time for the opening notes of "Message in a Bottle," even they worked, along with all the other tickets we'd bought.
|No question of tickets' authenticity. Tough to get seats to hot shows.
|No haggling in the primary market.
|Service quickly and painlessly generated replacements for tickets lost in mail.
|Big inventory, at grossly inflated prices.
|Among the least transparent of any secondary-market sites, StubHub allows no negotiation between buyer and seller.
|Highest prices and fees of any option.
|Brokers galore; high asking prices and limited last-minute deals.
|New "Or Best Offer" option allows underbidding, but in our experience no one ever accepted a bid lower than their asking price.
|Broker printed out an emailed ticket, raising (ultimately unfounded) anxiety about fraud.
|Good last-minute bargain hunting, especially for single tickets.
|Sellers can frequently be brought to the phone for in-depth negotiations over price, place of pickup, etc.
|Best venue to find regular concertgoers with extra seats on their hands.
*Lower-level loge ticket, including fees; **Single ticket only

text: D'oh! McCain Mocked Rival Over Chemtrails But Has Own Chemtrail 'Problem' ByCaitlin MacNealPublishedMay 17, 2016, 5:36 PM EDT It's not even summer yet, and this election year is jumping the shark. Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) re-election campaign on Monday mocked his primary opponent for entertaining constituents' chemtrail conspiracy theories. But it turns out McCain last year forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency a letter from a constituent concerned about chemtrails, and asked the EPA to respond. In the April 2015 cover letter, McCain notified the EPA that a constituent had "encountered a problem." "Because the situation is under your jurisdiction, I am respectfully referring this matter to you for consideration," the letter reads. Read More →

I'd say Gamboa is faster and hits a lot harder. But for right now Donaire is probably a bit for technically polished because he's in prime form right now whereas Gamboa is just getting started, still young and still a little reckless at times where you don't see Donaire having those types of problems at this point.
Prime for prime though, when Gamboa reaches his prime, O MAN THAT WOULD BE A HELL OF A FIGHT!!!

It close but their abilty to take a punch is not. Plus Donaire fighting a better class opponent makes this mute.

To me Donaire seems a bit more polished, but it is very close.
I see Gamboa's talent and speed carrying him.
If/when these two fight, it will be great.

If they matched up against each other?
Handspeed - Gamboa
Timing - Donaire
Power - Gamboa, obviously because he's bigger
Defense - Donaire, slightly
Donaire is more polished although he's a year younger. Gamboa is more powerful although he's a bit undersized, he's built like a mini-Tyson. Gamboa overpowers you and will keep you on the defense once you tasted his power. Donaire invites you, and once you obliged, BOOM!
I don't see this fight happening though, not in the near future at least. Donaire has been gradually moving up, which is the proper way to go. He was fighting as a flyweight less than 2 years ago, against Raul Martinez. He had 3 fights at 115, and now has 2 fights under his belt at 118. Give him a year and a half, 2 years max and put Gamboa on suspended animation or bring him and freeze him in on a crygenics lab, we'll have this fight by Summer of 2013...

Mum left paralysed by blood clot learns to walk and talk again at same time as her toddler daughter
- Sam Furniss was diagnosed with two aneurysms in early 2010
- She suffered a massive bleed to the brain after surgery 10 months on
- Sam, 35, was left unable to walk, talk or even sit up
- She learnt to walk and talk again at the same pace as daughter Ella
A mother who was left paralysed and unable to speak by a blood clot on her brain has learnt to walk and talk again - after copying her toddler daughter.
Sam Furniss, 35, was given the life changing news that she had two aneurysms when her daughter Ella was just 10 months old.
And her life hung in the balance when she suffered a massive bleed to the brain following an operation to remove them.
Miracle recovery: Sam Furniss, left, recovered from a bleed on the brain which left her paralysed by learning to walk and talk again at the same time as her daughter Ella
Doctors warned devastated husband Michael, 36, that even if she did survive, Sam could be left with terrible brain damage.
Though she survived, she was left unable to walk, talk or sit up.
But two years on she has stunned doctors with her recovery - learning to walk and talk alongside her daughter.
Sam, from Sheffield, said: 'I couldn't have recovered as well as I have without the support of Michael, and of course, Ella.
'I was so determined to get better to look after Ella - I wanted to run around with her in the park and be the best mum I could.
'I didn't want her to be running around while I was still stuck in my wheelchair - so it became a bit of a race to see which one of us would take our first steps.
She added: 'Ella beat me by a week - but once we'd both mastered taking one step, we progressed together, one step at a time.
'She's actually slightly better than me now - she can stand on one leg, which I'll never be able to do.
'Ella is such a caring little girl, and wise beyond her years - I was lucky to have such a wonderful medical and nursing team both in hospital and after I was discharged at home.'
Mother-of-one Sam was diagnosed with the aneurysm after suffering numbness in her right side while putting Ella to bed on New Year's Day 2010.
Support: Sam, pictured with daughter Ella and husband Michael, was diagnosed with two aneurysms when Ella was just 10 months old
Long struggle: Sam is pictured recovering after surgery left her unable to walk, talk, or even sit up
She thought that she had suffered a stroke but later found it was her nerves were being affected by the mass of blood vessels growing on her brain.
Although surgeons thought that surgery would solve the problem, they discovered that she had an extra bone in her skull that ruled out a successful operation.
She was eventually admitted for surgery after 10 months of tests and 17 brain scans she was admitted in October 2010.
Medics initially thought that the three-and-a-half hour operation had been a success.
But her condition began to deteriorate and a specialist spotted a blood clot on her brain while examining her several days later.
When the clot started to bleed she was rushed for more emergency surgery with doctors fearing she would die.
Devastating: Mother-of-one Sam, pictured, left, with husband Michael, was diagnosed with the aneurysm after suffering numbness in her right side while putting Ella, centre, to bed on New Year's Day 2010
Sam said: 'The surgeons took Michael to one side and told him I was very, very ill, and I might not pull through the surgery.
'They told him that if I survived, the chances were that I'd be seriously brain damaged, and they didn't know to what extent I would recover.
'He was obviously devastated, and now it hurts me so much to think of the pain he must have gone through, which I was totally unaware of.
'When I came round after the surgery, I couldn't move. I wanted to speak, and sit up and get out of bed, but I couldn't move.
'I was terrified and frustrated - and I didn't know whether I would ever be able to walk or talk again.
'The nurses would come to me every day and hold up a pen and ask me if I knew what it was.
'In my head, I was screaming the word "pen", but it wouldn't come out of my mouth.
'I practised and practised while I was lying there by myself, and after two weeks, I was able to say it.
'It took a long time before I was able to speak coherently, and in long sentences, though.
'When Ella said her first word in March 2011, we were suddenly both trying to talk all the time, with our speech eventually getting more and more sophisticated at the same pace.
'She took her first step in May 2011, and I took mine two weeks later in June. However, it took months before I was able to walk long distances - and when we both got tired of walking, we both had a sit down in my wheelchair together.
Sam underwent tests in December and doctors say that her body has made an 85 per cent recovery.
She said: 'I sometimes get a bit tired if I've been on my feet all day, but Ella is always there to look after me. I don't know what I would have done without her.
'I have thrown myself into fundraising for my own charity, the Samira Furniss Charity Fund, and Headway, which helps support people who have suffered brain or head injuries.
'Two years ago, I didn't know if I'd ever be able to sit up and give my daughter a cuddle - I'm so happy we can run around and play together now.'
Learning: While the pair were learning to walk, both Sam, left, and Ella, right, would rest by sitting together in Sam's wheelchair

The Idealware "Best of the Web" is a monthly roundup of the top nonprofit resources from the Idealware blog, our Facebook page, and our Twitter feed to help you make the right technology decisions.
As we gear up for year-end fundraising, it's important to remember to thank your donors for every fundraising campaign. I know it seems like we say it a lot, but it bears repeating—thank your donors. While this should be a common sense point to make, many organizations may stall on the thank you process because they aren't sure of what their donors would want to hear, or what donors should be thanked.
This post assumes that you're already familiar with the basics of video production. If you're not, you can get a quick introduction here.You're all ready to make a video for your nonprofit. Armed with your camera, editing software, and knowledge, it's time to dive in. But what type of video are you making? In this blog post, we'll be talking about trailers, music videos, and other videos that depend on music cues.When I'm talking about trailers, I'm talking about videos in the style of a movie trailer - you're providing a short "teaser" of an upcoming event. There's a few different specific times a nonprofit would want to make a trailer, including big volunteer or fundraising events (walk-a-thons, galas, etc.) and announcing a new program (like we just did at Idealware with our Tactical Tech Training. Why would you want to make a trailer? What are the benefits? In a trailer, you're combining music and voiceovers with footage from an actual event. For a movie trailer, that would usually mean actual footage from the movie itself, but for a nonprofit, that probably means you're using photos and video from past events to give your audience an idea of what to expect this year. These types of videos also benefit from familiarity. Most people are already familiar with movie trailers, and will recognize just from the format what you're telling them ("We have something coming up that you should be excited about!"). Because of this, you're completely allowed to borrow elements from actual movie trailers - "In a world gone mad, one organization will rise to the challenge." You have two goals with your video: 1) get a lot of people to watch it, and 2) get them pumped up.In a similar vein, there are also music videos. While these aren't as valuable to nonprofits as a trailer might be, the two share a lot of similar goals and features. Both exist to get an audience excited for something (in this case, instead of a movie or event, it's a product, the album the music comes from). Both rely heavily on music to convey that message. And both are fun to watch and (hopefully) fun to make.Trailers and music videos also share one important production tip. Whichever of these types of videos you make, you have to cue the images with the music. Major actions, transitions, all the exciting moments--these must happen on the beat. That means that you have to listen to the music over and over, find the beat, and line up all your footage. There doesn't have to be a new image on every beat, but the more frequent the changes, the more exciting the video. Play with the speed of the transitions to get your audience more engaged. In general, longer takes will go at the beginning, when the music is probably slower or quieter, and faster takes will go towards the end, when you're building up to the exciting climax.But the most important tip for these types of videos is to have fun making them. They're a chance to let your hair down, listen to music, and be a little silly.
If you're paying for 50,000 subscribers on your broadcast email tool, why not use them all? Building your list of email subscribers is easier said than done, and with the ever looming temptation of buying a list hanging overhead, it can be difficult to do it on your own. Even if you are pushing out great content, some people just can't be pleased, and will unsubscribe faster than you can say "spam." In our latest session in The Email Fundraiser's Toolkit, we talked about the touchy subject of email list-building and how you can make it work for your organization.
We have a list of people who have participated in our program either as a program volunteer or participant. We haven't emailed them in the past, can we send them emails?
"Assume that, six months down the road, everything that could go wrong on this project has gone wrong. What went wrong? And why?Focus on the three to five most likely reasons that the project could fail or go off the rails. Then map back how you could have prevented these meltdowns. Finally, incorporate those changes into your project plan before you actually get to work."

Geez guys, what's up with all these badly thought out single sentence posts that just dismiss the simulation hypothesis without a single argument? Kind of like how people dismiss evolution? When did Slashdot become facebook?
a few things things:
1. The two people interviewing Musk when the simulation hypothesis came up were terrible, cringe inducing interviewers
2. The simulation hypothesis is pretty well known: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
3. It's a simulation *HYPOTHESIS*. Believing in a hypothesis is an oxymoron.
Isn't this specified in the options when you pre-order a model 3? Why is this news?
Google just links to the information, they don't remove it. Why does none of this responsibility to preserve privacy fall on the shoulders of people who host it in the first place? I'll tell you why, because it's too much of a hassle to go after each of the ones hosting the info, so they go after Google, mainly because it's easier. But the information does not go away, and if people really have an interest about searching about people, alternatives will become available. Especially because technology is constantly improving, how long until every newspaper ever written fits on a single hard disk? This law to censor Google will soon become obsolete but it won't be removed because that would be too much of a hassle as well.
I'm guessing if this is allowed, you should be able to sell iTunes Music as well.
The main problem I see with this concept isn't that games will get sold, the problem is that they will be given away. Fox example if you had 1000 games, they could be shared between 10000 people, just swapping back af forth whenever needed. It is unlikely that everyone plays this game at the same time, you will create a mentality that allows thinking like "Oh I can buy it somewhere else anyway" and in the end the profits will drop drastically.
They got to get rid of the Space Nazis first. Duh.
Problem with modern user interfaces is that they usually have waay too many buttons/options!
Every user interface is actually two user interfaces, one in the mind, and one on the screen. Every image on the screen first goes trough the "filter" in your brain, and this filter is different for everyone. But if you make a large part of the user interface a part of the "filter" in your mind, you also gain a better understanding of what you're doing. Would you think it would be better if while programming you had a button for "for loop" "while loop" "new method", a button for everything? Learning programmling like that would be very annoying.
It's a bit like the "command line" vs "user interface" debate. You trade a slightly higher learning curve for a better understanding and usage later on. If you're gonna build a WYSIWYG interface with all the capabilities of the normal interface, it'll probably end up more complicated than the normal interface.
Look, I'm not saying abstractions are bad, they're very important, but you have to put those abstractions in the mind of the user, not on a screen as buttons.

Days before the US presidential election, the Ohio Secretary of State (Republican) directed that an "experimental patch" be installed on voting machines in 39 Ohio counties.

This paper presents a social and personal context modeling method on mobile device. It infers userpsilas contexts, such as amity with others and emotional state, from uncertain logs stored in mobile devices using Bayesian networks. Proper services are then provided to the user based on the semantic compatibility between current and past contexts. Here, the contexts are hierarchically matched after each context is expanded to the context-tree using domain ontology. We have implemented a contact list recommendation application on mobile device that recommends phone numbers in a phonebook according to the user's situation. Experimental results on real-user data show that the method provides an efficient and accurate means for mobile based social networking applications.

The Difference
Modscape is able to leverage distinct advantages when designing and building your new home, ensuring it is completed to the highest quality.
Fixed Cost
The cost of your home is controlled from the beginning.
Read More
A fixed price is established by Modscape and signed off by you to ensure there are no unexpected cost overruns. A Modscape design is more cost efficient than its conventional architect-designed counterpart. Significant savings are made through the effectiveness of prefabrication as well as a reduction in consultant fees, time spent project managing, holding costs of land, and minimal on-site time. Reduced wastage and proven systems also all help to reduce project costs.

" Preamble: Westone doesn't need any further introduction – it is one of the major brands and international big players. Nonetheless, let me drop a few lines about the American company: founded in 1959 with the main market being listening protection and in-ear monitoring, they also designed and manufactured the E1 plus E5 for Shure and co-developed and manufactured Ultimate..." --HiFiChris

Westone 4 True-Fit Earphones
"I bought these as an upgrade from the W3, which while extremely fun, I soon became disappointed in, due to mid bass bleed into the midrange. This caused vocals to become too chesty and distortion rock guitar notes too rounded instead of hard edged. Enter the W4. Fit and Isolation: Westone 4 is extremely comfortable. I love their size and weight. They only..." --shotgunshane

Sony XBA-3SL
"The entire Sony XBA Line is stunning: very sensitive and well executed lines, comfortable despite size, flat cable, nice case, a 90'plug. The first time I tried the Xba3 the sound wasn't appealing at all. Unnatural and spiky treble, (some people refers as metallic sound) and didn't cope well with my recordings. Nowadays I understand the praise and it has..." --squallkiercosa
Sony XBA-4SL
"After picking these up from the Sony Store about a year ago, I can say that these are definitely not worth the $350-$400 price tag. Luckily, I picked them up for around $180 and to me, this seems like a more reasonable price for the XBA-4. I really wanted to like these IEMs a lot more than I actually do. These were primarily going to be my pair for electronic music. I immediately..." --cuiter23
Westone Um Pro 50 Clear Earbuds
