Biography of Achdé
Achdé, the pseudonym of Hervé Darmenton (July 30, 1961, Lyon), is a French comic book writer and artist. The pseudonym is based on the French pronunciation of his initials, H.D. (as Tintin creator Hergé's pen name based on the reversed initials R.G., for Georges Rémi). After the death of Morris, the creator of Lucky Luke, Achdé continued the task of drawing new Lucky Luke stories from 2003 onwards.

Many interpreters liken the undulating form of his reclining figures to the landscape and hills of his birthplace, Yorkshire. Moore was born in Castleford, the son of a mining engineer. He became well-known through his larger-scale abstract cast bronze and carved marble sculpture...

NEWARK, N.J. Peyton Manning is not interested in talking about where his career stands in football history.
Not right now, anyway. Not when hes still playing. And certainly not less than a week from playing in the Super Bowl for the Denver Broncos.
As collected and measured as he is while standing in a pocket, Manning coasted through the circus that is media day, opining on his familys favorite beer, politely evading silly questions about reality TV and avoiding any wild pronouncements.
Reporters repeatedly brought up the word legacy as the 37-year-old Manning, a four-time NFL MVP who broke records by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards this season, sat through his hour-long session Tuesday.
Hardly surprising that he never took the bait.
Ive been being asked about my legacy since I was about 25 years old. Im not sure you can have a legacy when youre 25 years old. Even 37, Manning said in response to the first such query. Id like to have to be, like, 70 to have a legacy. Im not even 100 percent sure what the word even means.
Then, in about the closest thing to a stumble, Manning continued: Im still in the middle of my career.
At least one of the dozens of assembled media members gasped, middle?!
Realizing his miscue, Manning chuckled and went on.
Let me rephrase that, he resumed. Im down the homestretch of my career, but Im still in it. Its not over yet. And so its still playing out. This has been the second chapter of my career.
There wasnt nearly as much singular focus for Russell Wilson. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback somewhat overlooked at this Super Bowl by the QB on the other sideline came down from his podium on Tuesday and fulfilled the wish of an older woman named Josephine wearing the jersey of teammate Richard Sherman. All she wanted was a hug.
While there was plenty of attention on Seattles QB on Tuesday, it was less than the hoard that surrounded Sherman or even the short availability of running back Marshawn Lynch. Wilson was peppered about growing out his hair a mix between Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson he says his faith, his friendship with Grammy winning rapper Macklemore and even tried answering a question in Spanish.
Just like his teammates, Wilson tried to have fun with media day. Few had as much fun as Sherman, who couldnt wait to start talking.
Even before his allotted hour began, Seattles polarizing cornerback began answering questions from a podium. By the time the official clock began on the Seahawks session, Sherman was already on question No. 6.
He presented a much different side than that angry 20-second rant after the NFC championship game, which sparked a national debate over sportsmanship and racial attitudes. Sherman was charming, funny and didnt raise his voice at all. He said he was glad to have the chance to show theres more to him than what people saw after he made the play that clinched Seattles victory over San Francisco.
One of his teammates couldnt have been more different. Lynch made an early exit, then returned just in time to possibly avoid a hefty fine from the NFL.
The running back, wearing a hood and dark sunglasses, abruptly left the required session, walking out after 6½ minutes.
He later came back and stood on the side of the media area, doing interviews with the Armed Forces Network, Deion Sanders for the NFL Network, and a Seahawks Web reporter. Lynch also talked to teammates and signed footballs and a helmet for fans in the stands.
While he did that, about five dozen media members stood in front of Lynch and shouted out a few questions. He ignored almost all of them as time ran out in Seattles 45-minute availability.
One reporter asked, Are you trying to avoid being fined by standing here? Lynch twice nodded his head yes.
Earlier this month, Lynch was fined $50,000 for not cooperating with the Seattle media. The NFL put the fine on hold, saying it would be rescinded if his behavior improved.

Forge Road in Palmyra will be closed from Oak Street through Elm Street probably through Wednesday as contractors try to stabilize a sinkhole under the pavement that has caused a dip in the road and worried residents who fear it will open.
The borough has hired Compaction Grouting Services to insert grout under the road to stabilize the sinkhole, according to borough manager Sherry Capello. The dip will remain until PennDOT repaves the road in the spring, she said. The borough is also planning to install a stormwater system to divert runoff to a nearby inlet.
Access to Forge Road Elementary School is limited during the work, but parents and buses will be allowed into the horseshoe in front of the school at pickup and dropoff times, Capello said.

Close to 50 guests attended to salute local businesses for their commitment to the employment of residents with disabilities.
Employers especially honored for hiring someone with a disability this year included Albertson's, Canyon Country; CVS, Bouquet Canyon; CVS, Seco Canyon; Extended Stay; Macaroni Grill; Pacific Lock; Performance Cyclery; Six Flags Magic Mountain; Von's, Store 2111; Von's, Store 1669; and Wal Mart, Copper Hill.
Many other businesses were mentioned for past training opportunities and hiring practices.
Access to the world of work has included a number of opportunities for students in the William. S. Hart Union High School District through the district's Career Visions Program.
Keynote speaker for the luncheon was stage, screen and television actor and writer Jack Patterson. He shared his own story of an almost life-ending neck injury as a young student at Georgetown University. He has been forced to use a cane for walking since he was a sophomore there, nearly 40 years ago.
Patterson spoke of his journey, which eventually led him to Hollywood, where he has appeared in numerous productions. His message was that we each have our own "story", and for those with disabilities, that may include frustrations with attempts to gain employment.
His talk, "I wasn't disabled until I came to Hollywood" was humorous, yet direct in expressing his thoughts that change (especially in attitude) does not come easily, but is possible.
In addition to the recognition provided by the Mayor's Committee, recognition certificates were presented to businesses by Ed Masterson (on behalf of Assemblyman Cameron Smyth), Jackie Bick (on behalf of Senator George Runner), and Santa Clarita City Councilman Bob Kellar. Certificates were also sent from Supervisor Michael Antonovich's office.

School officials in Charles County are asking parents to be on the lookout for signs of a dangerous game that sent three students to hospitals last week.
School principals in the area said an Internet game referred to as "the knockout or pass-out challenge" is gaining popularity among teens.
They said students have also been seen by the school nurse for passing out.
Officials lectured students and their parents at the end of last week on the obvious dangers of the game.

Professional Learning Groups
The Teaching & Learning Forum is happy to provide resources to faculty, but we think that most of what faculty need is interaction with one another. In this spirit, we're supporting Professional Learning Groups, or PLGs -- but we don't really care what you call them.
These groups are similar to book groups, but they are focused on specific themes, collaborations, or questions. TLF will support the group by purchasing reading materials, lunches, or other resources. If you have a particular group you would like to see formed, contact us. Or, take a look at some of the groups that have been established and contact a representative from the group to join in.
Some of the current groups include:
- Environmental Education
- Faculty Writing Initiative
- iPad Classroom Projects
- Issues in Science Education
- Community Based Learning
- Interdisciplinary and General Education
- Moms in Academia
- New Faculty
- Information Technology and Education
There are many other potential groups, such as the following:
- Faculty Peer Mentoring
- Undergraduate Research and Mentoring
- Grant Funding and Program Development
- Graduate Program Development and Standards
- Plus, other working groups that you would like to propose...
Other potentially fruitful discussions. Maybe one of these is something others would like to pursue:
- How do we mentor undergraduate research? What models do we have for this, what innovations should we be working on, and what goals do we have?
- The Lumina Foundation suggests that we increase the percentage of college graduates in the U.S. from 38% to 60% by the year 2025. This is a tall order. Why should we do this, and how do we? (See their report here.)
- "Critical thinking" is a learning objective of many courses, programs, and general education standards. What is it? How do we teach such a thing? Is it ever really learned? (The Foundation for Critical Thinking has some food for thought and resources.)
- What are effective models for general education curricula that are effective in meeting learning outcomes? What course reforms might be necessary?
- What is the meaning of a university degree, whether it's an associate's, bachelor's, or master's degree?
- What does it mean to be a "scholar?" In a new era of knowledge, is creating original research as valuable as it used to be? If not, what is our responsibility to society as university faculty?
- How about a group to discuss "graduate" research? There does not appear to be a support system on campus yet for graduate students. Grad students need help with funding for research and for attending/presenting at conferences. They could also use assistance and mentoring in publishing their papers.A support system for grad students across different disciplines would be useful as well.

Battlestar Galactica: Razor
When the Cylons attack Caprica, the battleship Pegasus manages to escape total destruction thanks to the fact that its network grid is down due to maintenance. When Admiral Cain sends scouts back to the planet, they find all cities destroyed and overall belief is that the Pegasus is the only remains of humanity left. That makes her want to take revenge as battle seems to be the only option the Cylons have left the Pegasus. However, what she doesn't know is that there are Cylon spies on her vessel…
After the death of Cain and its reuniting with the rest of the fleet, Lee Adama takes over the lead of the Pegasus. His first mission is to inspect an enemy who seems to be guarded by ancient Cylons and is also seeking Earth.
Sound and Vision:
The image is a bit soft here and there but overall you can't really complain. Compression errors are down to a minimum and the contrast and level of detail are the same as with the normal seasons.
The sound is equal in quality, just like the normal TV shows which already are good.
– Audio commentary with Ronald D. Moore and Michael Taylor
– Deleted Scenes
– Sneak Peak Season 4
– Trailer Season 4
– 7 Minisodes
Razor tells the story of the Battleship Pegasus from the moment the Cylons attack the Colonies up until right after its reuniting with the rest of the fleet. This is done in three stories that are nicely interwoven by means of flashbacks. First you have the original attack with Cain seeking revenge, then there's the first mission under command of Lee Adama, and last up are flashbacks where we get to see a young Bill Adama go on a mission right before the original treaty was signed. Although there's little real influence on the ongoing storyline of the series, we do get some nice background info and the ending of Razor sheds a new light onto the series although it's not something all too unexpected.
Those looking forward to Season 4 will be happy to get a preview in the extras and all in all Razor is a nice bridge until S4 gets released on DVD.

AA 1789(80% on time)
D: 07:52am A: 09:59am
Mileage: 1212
Duration: 3hr 07min
MD-80*super 80*
I was off to another trip to Seoul and had trouble getting flights to NRT on Continental with continuing service to SEL on NW. So I opted to fly AA and OZ to SEL this time around. This trip was fairly uneventful, which is something that I always hope for and unfortunately that never happens when I fly United. Now for the trip report…
I was told by AA international reservations to check in 2hrs prior to departure, so I was up at 5am and out the door by 5:30, and made it to BUF before 6am. The lines at the AA counter were non-existent, so I got my boarding passes for all segments of the trip including the OZ flight(AA codeshare). I had about an hour and a half to kill, so off I went and got something to eat. And went looking around the stores. And also managed to take a bunch of pictures of aircraft at BUF. I got AA MD-80(the plane I flew on), US 737's, Shuttle America Dash 8, United Jetstream 41, Continental MD-80, and a few pics of US Air express jets. I tried to look for jetBLUE, but missed the aircraft that was headed to Ft. Lauderdale. After having my fun taking pictures and plane watching, I decided to head to gate 15 and took a seat there and waited for the boarding announcements and once that commenced, I got ready to board the * Super 80 *. They boarded first class, elderly, children, etc. and Advantage Gold, Platinum and Platinum Ex memebers. And finally economy starting from the rear of the aircraft, which went by fairly quickly. I was seated at 19A, a window seat, so I was happy enough. Once everyone was aboard, we departed the gate area right on time. The total flight time was announced to be about 2hrs and 54mins. We lined up at the runway, being the 3rd to take off. This morning at BUF turned out to be pretty busy compared to other times I've been there. Well. Once we were cleared for take off, we went off. Take off was fine… Shortly after reaching our cruising altitude of 26000ft, the FA's served breakfast, which was either cheese omelets or cereal. I opted for the cereal, which is fine. This meal was also served with a muffin, banana, and a drink of your choice. As for the entertainment? There was no such thing as entertainment aboard AA MD-80's. I stuck to reading magazines and books I brought with me. It passed by the time. And before I knew it we started our descend into the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. We passed by the metro area, and proceeded past an airfield and then onto DFW. We were cleared for landing and proceeded. Landing was fine. We touched down in perfect timing as well. The pilot taxied to gate C29.
AA 2425(60% on time)
D: 10:55am A: 12:04pm
Mileage: 1235
Duration: 3hr 09min
Once arriving in DFW, I had to walk over to the trAAin, due to the fact that my next flight was departing out of B5 and I had less then an hour before that flight was about to depart. I found the trAAin to be convenient and much faster compared to walking. The trAAin ride was longer than I thought. By the time we arrived at terminal B, the boarding process for AA2425 was beginning. So I really didn't have any time to do anything. This flight turned out to be light, I ended up having an empty seat next to me, which made me happy. not only that, but this particular aircraft was fitted with more room in coach, which is really nice and made the trip all the more comfortable. I was seated in 18A. another window seat, which I try to reserve whenever I fly. We departed the gate a few minutes late, due to the fact that the other AA flight headed to AA was full, so they sent about 20-30 to our flight and once they got seated we were off. This flight had some strange people on board. This family had brought a cooler and a big old garbage bag filled with who knows what. They took forever to stow their luggage(if that's what you want to call it) and to get seated. The FA's closed the door for the second time and it was official that we were now departing. We were 3rd in line to depart. In front of us was an AA 757-200, which was also headed to LAX and an AA Eagle Saab 340. After take off, we reached a cruising altitude of about 29,000… then proceeded to go higher.. and the pilot didn't really say much throughout the flight, so im not too sure what our FL was. The total flight time wasn't even announce, but it turned out to be less than 3hrs. We were served drinks and drinks followed by a snack. The snack was a chicken calzone, ruffles potato chips, and an oatmeal cookie. This flight features in-flight entertainment, we were shown several short features. The person sitting 2 seats from me was a bit scared with it being her first time flying. She kept asking me "what's that noise" "are you scared" and so on. She seemed rather frightened to be aboard this flight… but she ended up sleeping the entire flight anyway. We made our way over Roswell, New Mexico and then shortly after that we were headed to California. and started our descent shortly. and once cleared for landing, we made our way into LAX. Arrival was at Terminal 4.

*Asiana Aircraft
The international terminal at LAX was really busy today.. much busier than the last time I was here.. march of 1999. I had my boarding pass, so I headed to gate 104 and had over an hour to spare before boarding, so I walked around and took pictures. I saw lots of planes.. including a DL 777 with the new livery. I should have 1 picture of that.. I also captured pictures of SQ 747-400, CX 747-400, OZ 747-400, and some WN 737's. I wanted to get pictures of an Aer Lingus, but the aircraft was positioned in a way that it was hard to get a good shoot. Our OZ 747-400 was parked in between an ANA 747-400 and a JAL 747-400… unfortunately I ran out of film to get either of those aircraft. After taking pics, I thought I'd take a seat.. and you can see that they weren't planning to board at the scheduled time. even the FA's and pilots were waiting to get on the aircraft. After a long wait. boarding finally began. It started out with first and business passengers.. the boarding was a mess, which is something I'd expect coming from Asiana. I flew with them september of 1999 and thought they did a poor job boarding. Well.. what usally happens is when they call all first and business passengers to board, EVERYONE stands up and lines up at the boarding gate.. They're never patient no matter what.. The gate agent was not doing a good job either.. I think they had about 5 workers there.. and when they started to call the seats starting from the rear of the aircraft, they forgot to announce it in english as well and that's where all of us americans had no idea what was going on.. and after awhile we all decided to get in line and board. I was seated at 25A, not the most pleasant seat, it was directly across from one of the lavatories. Once everyone was settled, they closed the doors and we were off. We departed at about 15-30minutes late and we were expected to arrive about 45 minutes early. We were able to takeoff right away.. and once airborne we flew over the pacific and then slowly turned back to the california coastline. We flew along the coastline till we reached Monterey and that's when we took a left turn and flew completely over water.. not incredibly exciting for everyone seated at a window seat. The FA's came around and told everyone to shut their blinds, which is something that has never happened on United(given the option to shut or leave it up) or Delta(advises to have blinds shut). Once we reached our cruising altitude of 39,000ft, the FA's came around and offered drinks and peanuts and they handed out menus for this flight. We were being served lunch shortly followed by a snack and that's all they offered for meal service on that flight. The menus are as follows:
Perfect Steak
Shrimp with Mixed Salad
Served with Peppercorm sauce
Accompanied with potato, carrot and broccoli
A famous Korean Cuisine, which contains steamed rice and assorted vegetables, served with pollack soup and Kim-Chi
Fruit Cake
Crab Meat Salad
Fried Kim-Chi Rice
Sautéed Kim-Chi, served with steamed rice
Beef Lasagna
Accompanied with Broccoli
Fresh fruit
The meals weren't that great. The steak wasn't exactly perfect lol. The snack was horrible. That lasagna did not look like lasagna at all. So I basically ate everything except the lasagna. After we were served lunch, they started the in-flight entertainment. They showed 2 movies. The first movie was a Korean movie that was not in English, so I didn't watch it. I took a short nap and then woke up and that's when the first movie was just about done. And the second movie they showed was The Skulls. great.. Another movie not worth watching. After that movie, they showed about 3-5 discovery channels shows on: zebras, evolution and some other boring crap. That's as far as in-flight entertainment went. The flight had very little turbulence. and was pretty uneventful.. upon arrival in SEL, they showed an exercising show. Ha ha ha. The flight attendants had to do the exercising in each cabin and some passengers were also doing the exercises. I have only seen this aboard Northwest some 3+ years ago flying SEL-DTW. The descent took a lot longer than it was suppose to and we ended up touching down about 6:30pm. 30 minutes later than what the pilot told us, 15 minutes prior to schedule. An All Nippon Airways flight from KIX(Osaka, Japan) beat us to the gate, so we had to deal with llonnngggg lines at customs. I finally made it out of there live… after about 30 minutes in line. I made my way to the exit, since I checked in no luggage this time. I was out of the door and into the 94 degree HEAT at 720pm.

*Asiana Aircraft
I left my parents home at about 2:20pm and arrived at Kimpo International by 3pm and headed over to the designated American Airlines check-in, which was the business class check in line. I was second in line and got checked in, the check-in agent issued all of my boarding passes, which were all Asiana boarding passes with AA flight numbers. I wasn't too sure if AA would accept Asiana issued boarding passes. Later I would find out that I was right. I entered the gate area about an hour prior to departure, it was less hectic compared to morning departures. There weren't too many flights leaving this terminal this evening. UA808 to San Francisco began their boarding process about the time I made it over to my gate area, which is right next to the UA flight to SFO. We were assigned another 747-400 Combi. Boarding was a mess! They did NOT board in any order. like most airlines usually do. Once the gate opened, you got in line regardless of your class and elite status. I can tell that a lot of people who were seated in Business and First were a little upset to be last in line when they should've gotten priority boarding. It took awhile to board, as Asians are known to carry lots of junk with them. some how 3-5 carry on items, which is ridiculous. I made it to my seat before my seat mates did, so I got to store my luggage in the bins before them and that made me happy, sometimes I have to walk about 20 seats back to find an empty bin to store my bags. Once everyone was seated, they handed out menu and destination guides. Our flight time was announced to be 11hr and 05 mins. We departed the gate about 20 minutes late… We taxied a bit and I got a good look at lots of planes parked at the international terminal. I got pictures of some OZ planes. Particularly the A321, 747-400, and 767. KAL 777, A330 and 744(parked and 1 airborne). I also got a pic of JAS A330-600R. I'll get those pictures developed next week and have them sent to Onic to post and I'll have them posted on my travel site as well. We took off and started to head south for a short while and then east towards Japan. Shortly after take off, hot towels were given out and drinks/peanuts were served. I don't like the lack of ice with drinks offered by OZ. They won't even offer you the entire can as they run out fast. I much prefer peanuts over pretzel/cheese crackers offered by most US airliners these days. The movies shown on this flight were: Romeo Must Die and Mission to Mars. I was quite upset when I found out that my headset plug in wasn't working in my seat, it was damaged by previous passengers. This kind of thing has only happened twice to me. The first time was Sept 1998 aboard KE in Prestige(business). which was odd considering the fact that this was a brand new 777. The FA's offered no help, so I remained rather bitter throughout the flight. We were served Dinner shortly. The choices were a western choice, which was beef or a Korean choice. By the time they got to us.. We were about 10 rows from the front of the main cabin. (pretty close to the front) They ran out of the Korean choice and it was either beef or beef. They had about another 20+ rows to serve and nothing left, but beef. The meal wasn't that great. I was lucky to have brought something else to eat on the flight. I decided to take a short nap after they collected the trays. I couldn't exactly watch the movies, so I spent the rest of the flight wandering the cabin and reading magazines/books. About 2hrs prior to arrival they served us breakfast. The choices were either rice or scrambled eggs. I went with rice. The rice was served with soba noodles and some kimchi. I ate the noodles and rice and skipped the kimchi. Kimchi is too spicy for my taste. Kimchi is fermented vegetables, usually spicy. They showed the exercising video on this flight, too. ha ha ha ha. The FA's were up there doing the stretching exercises and about one-third of the main cabin passengers were also participating. As this point I opened the shade and saw that we were off the coast of California near the bay area, as I could barely make out the Golden Gate Bridge. It was easy to point out the GG Bridge along with the Bay Bridge. All of this was pretty familiar with me, as I have lived in the Bay Area before. We headed south to Monterey, Santa Cruz and into Santa Barbara and making our way to Los Angeles. We made our approach from the west and landed. As we were taxing to the gate area, a NW DC-10 took off and US Airways 757 took off shortly after. It was a big exciting seeing the two planes take off, we were merely feet away from them. We ended up taxing for quite sometime, apparently there weren't any open gates, so we parked in the middle of nowhere and as we were heading there, I saw a B767 with this distinct logo "United States of America". I'm sure you know who that belongs to. It was pretty much parked in the middle of no where, rather far from the gate area. A Thai 747-400 was also parked out there, which has also just arrived, since they were still unloading. We had to take 2 buses back to the terminal to clean customs/immigration. The customs area at LAX was a mad house. A bunch of international flights had arrived at about the same time as us. LTU from Dusseldorf, JAL from Narita, Qantas from Auckland, China Eastern from Shanghai, British Airways from London, Thai from Bangkok(?), OZ from Seoul and Philippine from Manila. I wasn't sure where the line ended, so I got in line where I saw a gap. No one was looking, so they could careless that I cut them. I got up to the front in about 30 minutes, if I went searching for the end of the line it would've taken at least an hour to reach the front and I would've missing my connection to ORD. As usual no questions were asked. They tend to drill you at PDX for some reason. I rushed over to T4 after exiting the international terminal.
The menu's from AA6138/OZ202:
Western Style -
Baby Shrimp & Corn Salad
Mixed Green Salad
(Served with Thousand Island dressing)
Beef Tenderloin Steak
(Served with peppercorn sauce, Accompanied by potato, vichy carrot & sugar snap pea)

I arrived at T4 and double checked the departure monitors and my flight was listed as on time. I rushed on over to gate 43 and AA 1576 was still there. Their departure time was delayed till 1:10pm, so I went to see if the gate had changed and it did indeed change to 42B. I made my way over there and they hadn't begun boarding yet as the aircraft hadn't been cleaned yet. Once boarding began, they boarding first class passengers followed by AAdvantage Gold, Platinum, Exec Platinum and One World elite's. Main cabin boarding proceeded shortly, starting from the rear of the aircraft and working our way to the front. I handed the agent my boarding pass issued by Asiana and she told me to get a new one from the gate, so I got a new one. I was seated in 16A, a window seat on the left side of the plane. Once I got settled in my seat, I saw that they spilled a few gallons of fuel. The captain also told us about this and told all of us to take a lot at the clean up crew. The flight time was announced to be 3hrs and 40mins. We departed about 20 minutes late. We took off and headed west over the pacific and turned back around and flew over Long Beach and from there we flew over Palm Springs. The pilot was telling us about the history of the places we were flying over. The pilot was quite interesting. He gave us a history lesson and told us about some interesting explorers as well as tourist spots. Once we reached the Mojave Desert, we got to see some single cell storms. It was very neat seeing single cell storms and lightning. It looks so much different at 29,000 feet in the air. We had to re-route a little due to the storms in the southwest. We were served lunch on this flight. A choice of a hot ham and cheese sandwich or cold chicken fingers. I went with cold chicken fingers, which was a bad choice. It tasted pretty bad. No form of in-flight entertainment was offered on this flight. I slept part of the way. It was a pretty uneventful flight. We proceeded over parts of Arizona, Colorado and over the entire state of Kansas and into parts of Missouri. We started our descend and landed in ORD right on time. We had to wait about 10 minutes to get to our gate, because our gate wasn't empty yet. I saw the Star Alliance plane by United. I believe it was a B767. It was really too bad that I didn't have any film, I really wish I had gotten a pic of that as well.

We arrived at gate H17 and my next flight was scheduled to be out of H12, but that wasn't the case when I looked at the departure monitors. My flight was moved to L6 and the departure time was changed to 10:10pm. I walked over to the L concourse and once I made it there I got something to eat and made a phone call. The flight time was later changed to 9:45pm. I went to the gate and asked one of the agents if they could give me a new boarding pass in exchange for this Asiana issued boarding pass and she did without any problems. We got to see a show while waiting for our flight to BUF. Our aircraft was on its way from Tulsa. Someone was waiting for his girlfriend to arrive and he set up this sign that said, "Will You Marry Me Linda". Everyone started to clap once he put that up and once the flight arrived, everyone gathered around the gate area looking for "Linda". She was one of the last off the plane and once she was out, everyone in the gate area started chanting "Linda, Linda". She said yes to his proposal and that's when everyone started to cheer and take pictures. Linda thought it was a surprise birthday party. Shortly after all this.. They announced that the boarding process would start as soon as they're done cleaning the plane. They began with first class passengers followed by gold, plat and ex plat and the main cabin. I was also seated in 16A on this flight. The flight time was announced to be 1hr. We ended up departing at 10:20pm. We took off and about 20 minutes into the flight, the FA's came around and served drinks and snacks. Within 10 minutes, they came back and collected all the trash and that's when we started to descend into BUF. We were cleared for landing and taxied to our gate. There was no one at the airport.. Rather empty, no one working at the ticket counters, all stores closed. I saw a few people at one of the US Airways gates sleeping… probably had an early flight at 5am. Not too sure why they were there at 1230am. I made my way out of there and made it home at 1am.
Thanks for reading my trip report!

Cuomo should promote proper code of conduct
Gov. Andrew Cuomo believes that one path to better government is to increase our taxes to allow public financing of election campaigns. He is being supported by a coalition of groups attempting to persuade our state politicians to pass this legislation.
What Cuomo should be proposing is a code of conduct that prohibits election campaign tactics including smear, hypocrisy, outlandish claims and deception. American voters need to realize that increasing taxes will not change behavior that is degrading our government.
Most organizations avoid these tactics, including our schools, licensed physicians, licensed engineers, Lions and Rotary clubs, businesses and newspapers. In my opinion, our political parties should adopt the behavior of these organizations before asking us to finance their election campaigns. Our political parties have degraded America and caused our current economic problems.

Google may be the dominant search engine and aggressively pushing into new areas all the time, but it remains true to its core values, including its do no evil mantra, according to its corporate philosophy mission statement. As Google grows what does change is the message that it is only a search engine.
Google has quietly modified its "Our Philosophy" Web page to reflect its expanding portfolio of services, an observant Slashdot poster has noticed. Under the "Ten Things Google has found to be true" section, No. 2 entitled "It's best to do one thing really, really well," used to say that "Google does not do horoscopes, financial advice or chat."
Now, that wording is gone and additional information has been added, including a footnote that says: "Full-disclosure update: When we first wrote these '10 things' four years ago, we included the phrase 'Google does not do horoscopes, financial advice or chat.' Over time, we've expanded our view of the range of services we can offer--Web search, for instance, isn't the only way for people to access or use information--and products that then seemed unlikely are now key aspects of our portfolio. This doesn't mean we've changed our core mission; just that the farther we travel toward achieving it, the more those blurry objects on the horizon come into sharper focus (to be replaced, of course, by more blurry objects)."
This comes on the heels of Google launching a beta version of Google Talk, an instant messenger application that allows text chat and voice connections through the computer.
I asked Google whether they would start offering horoscopes, and what my lucky number for the day is, and they declined to comment. (Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News.com reporters until July 2006 in response to privacy issues raised by a previous story.)

HOOVER, Alabama - Signature Homes is asking the city of Hoover to rezone 69 acres off Caldwell Mill Road to make way for a 151-home subdivision just north of Berry Middle School.
The developer wants to rezone the wooded land from an agriculture district to a Planned Residential Development District and is facing opposition from some residents of nearby subdivisions.
The plan is to put 145 homes on 35 acres with lots that are 50 or 60 feet wide and 110 feet deep, and six homes on 10 acres with estate lots that are at least ¾ of an acre, according to the most recent drawings shared with nearby residents. There also would be 24 acres of common area, including part of the existing Moon Glow Lake and a community building with a pool.
Signature Homes also is proposing to provide the Hoover school system with 12.4 acres that could be combined with adjacent land the school board owns for use as a school site.
The company also is preparing to buy an adjacent 9-acre parcel that is in unincorporated Shelby County. If the zoning application for the 69 acres is successful, Signature Homes would ask Hoover to annex the nine acres so it could be added to the subdivision, said Jonathan Belcher, the company's president.
That would allow room for 13 more homes, bringing the total number of homes to 164, Belcher said.
If the zoning application is successful, "we would like to be able to start site work on the property by the end of spring," he said.
Preparing the site likely would take all of 2013, Belcher said. "There wouldn't be any homes built on the land until 2014," he said.
But the zoning approval must come first. The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission was scheduled to consider the request this past Monday, but Belcher asked that it be continued until the Jan. 14 meeting to give him more time to address concerns expressed by nearby residents in meetings that Signature Homes has had with them.
Noel Chambless, a resident of the 218-home Woodford subdivision that is part of the Inverness community and a former president of the Inverness Master Homeowners Association, said nearby residents have a host of concerns, ranging for density to traffic, buffers, drainage, the environment and the impact on the Inverness sewer system.
Chambless said the proposed development does not blend well with Inverness.
"This is a track builder. We know Signature well. They just level the property. You just basically bulldoze down everything," Chambless said.
Typically, the company's houses in a given neighborhood all look very similar, he said. "I think it's cookie-cutter. Inverness is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood," Chambless said.
Signature Homes wants to put too many homes on this piece of property, he said. The density is greater than the density in Inverness, and with Woodford being at a higher elevation, "from my house, I'll see the rooftops of 151 houses, and so will everybody else on this ridge," Chambless said.
Adding 151-164 houses is going to push too much traffic onto Caldwell Mill Road, which is already congested, he said. And having 340 to 400 cars entering and exiting multiple times a day so close to Jaguar Drive, which leads to Berry Middle School and Spain Park High School, is not a good idea, he said.
Susan Goertz, who lives across Caldwell Mill Road in Altadena Woods, said the city should make the developer connect the new subdivision to others, such as Caldwell Crossings and Inverness, so traffic can have alternate ways to go.
Goertz also said the developer should be required to put in a right turn and deceleration lane on Caldwell Mill Road, as well as sidewalks along Caldwell Mill and a walking path to the Hoover school property.
Chambless said residents also are concerned about protecting the environment and natural beauty of the property in question. The land is in the Cahaba River watershed, which is one of the few natural environments left in the densely-populated north Shelby County and Hoover areas, he said.
The variety of flora includes huge white oak trees, loblolly pines, wild irises, wild azaleas, wood ferns and much more, Chambless said. The property has many forms of wildlife, including red foxes, white-tail deer, raccoons, opossums, coyotes, skunks, beavers, bobcats, owls, wild turkeys and red tail hawks, he said. "This is designated as one of the top sites in the state for bird watching," he said. "This will basically be destroyed."
Residents have created a website called Save Moon Glow Lake at www.savemoonglow.com.
Belcher said anytime someone submits a zoning change in a highly populated area, human nature is to oppose it.
"We understand if you live there, you want to look at the woods behind your home," he said. "We understand that, and we're trying to be sensitive to it."
Belcher said after meeting with residents, he already has made significant additions to buffer zones between his proposed development and existing houses, and he is continuing to review his plans in light of residents' concerns.
His company also will clear the minimum amount of trees necessary to build homes and roads, he said.
He has not yet met with his traffic engineer to discuss traffic issues but probably will do so in the next week, he said. However, he does believe it makes sense to have some kind of connection to the adjacent school property, whether a road or pedestrian access, he said. That's something that would need to be discussed with the school system, he said.
If Hoover asked him to put a sidewalk along the portion of his property that fronts Caldwell Mill Road, he would do so, but putting a sidewalk on his property alone wouldn't accomplish much if other nearby properties don't have sidewalks, he said.
As for the density of the project, Belcher said his project averages 2.2 homes per gross acre. That compares with 2.4 homes per gross acre in most of Caldwell Crossings, 2.1 homes per gross acre in a different sector of Caldwell Crossings and 1.5 homes per gross acre in Woodford, he said.
"This project is what makes sense for us," he said. "I think it's a reasonable density amount to consider based on surrounding property."
Belcher said he hopes to meet again with nearby residents in early January, before the Jan. 14 Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
