I agree. In my case, it was 7th grade. We had a teacher who instead of the usual curriculum let us spend most of the year writing.

I did not know (or remember?) that these were in demand. I threw mine out. :o

There is a Box contingent on BlackBerry Messenger. Among others: sbm12, fozz, FT Lurker, gbryan84, mwg25, belynch. But more than anything for me, it's the ease with which she and I trade messages when necessary.

And according to a recent conversation, she thinks her 8330 is too large. She does have a business need for a smartphone and I can't imagine what would be smaller that would be professionally appropriate.

I cooked tonight for the first time in months. Our poor kitchen doesn't know what hit it. We've been eating out way too much the last 4-5 months.

night box.

When I checked my reservation to see if there was ZE space open (low odds, since I looked out the window and saw no aviating swine), I saw the offer I mentioned above. When I clicked on it, it told me how many F seats were open on each flight, and said that $300 (= fare difference between B and Y) put me in F, whereas 15k miles put me on a waitlist.

What is the relative priority of mileage upgrades vs. B-ups?

indeed it is. I am just constantly amazed that my company will be in business tomorrow.

Bonus? What's that, not familiar with the concept. :rolleyes::p


I was at the Devs first ever home game, a 3-3 tie (remember those?) with the Penguins.

You would have to continuously pump it intravenously into my bloodstream in order to make Disney tolerable for me.

I feel left out now.

As for the size, the 8830 isn't much bigger than an iPhone or Nexus One, and it's smaller than a Droid. The Pearl and Curve series BlackBerries are smaller than the 8830 is, but I don't know if those are available from Verizon or not.

I'd be curious to hear more about this... On 3/9 (the day ZA002 went to VCV), ZA001 flew around Washington, ZA002 was in VCV, ZA003 hadn't made it's first flight yet and ZA004 has been grounded for the past few weeks undergoing tests with the latest version of the flight software. Additionally, I don't see anything on FlightAware from last Tuesday.

I'm not doubting your source, I'm just curious to know why Boeing apparently kept this so quiet.

EDIT: The closest reference to the 787 being in Fairbanks I can find is an article that mentions that the 787 APU testing is taking place in FAI. However, that started on 3/5 and obviously doesn't require an entire 787...

Companies can die a slow death. I'm surprised the company I last worked for is still alive, granted it's on life support and someone is reaching for the plug.

Boeing has kept a lot quiet about this program. They moved ZA001 on the ground on it's own power days before they said they did it. They did it at 3 AM or something like that. I'll see if he gives up which bird went north. It was there Wednesday night.
Edit again. He's messing me. It must have been the 747 test bed with 787 engine as there was a reference departing from Waco.
Edit Edit: Flight aware confirms N787RR (B742) went up there last week.

They're likely zeroing out R around the EUA processing window. This is what cova would call them suspending the cron job that processes EUAs. In reality they just zero out the bucket, run the job - and upgrade no one - and then un-zero the bucket and continue trying to sell the upgrade.

CO would never do this :P

I need to shower after workout. Night all.

I never had an English teacher that stuck out in my mind until I reached junior college. What got me so interested in the language was reading a lot from a young age and also listening to George Carlin from an inappropriately early age. Add to that the semester I spent doing peer tutoring for the college writing center and being a child of divorce (great way to study communication failures) and here I am.
