Is Your Heavy Baggage in Need of a Luggage Weight Scale'

http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://live.pirillo.com - Pixie wanted me to use the digital luggage scale on her. I keep telling her it's not made for doggies, but she's stubborn. This little thing can save me quite a lot of money, and help keep me from incurring overweight luggage fees. As always, remember we love to hear from our wonderful 808Talk listeners so be sure and leave us a comment below.

Moses Lake Seeks Business Pledges to Lure Airline

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:37:01 -0600

The central Washington community of Moses Lake has drawn interest from Skywest Airlines in starting two daily roundtrips to Seattle. Robbins.Â Says Robbins of the band, "Where are the labels that should be chomping at the bit to release a band like this'"

The record is called Birdseed Shirt and we couldn't agree more with what Robbins is asking.Â They make the kind of rock music that's basically shit on these days and taken advantage of for being too "iPod commercial-y" or whatever because it's really catchy and has the happy-go-lucky vibes.Â Deleted Scenes are one of those bands that you can tell instantly that they love playing music and they're just having some fun, so if you're a hater of having fun, do not listen to Deleted Scenes.Â Enough said, really.Â Here's a video of the dudes busking at night in DC, dig on the guy playing drums with his shoes.Â Hilarious.Â The guys play Union Hall on December 13 as part of their tour/record release parties.

(mp3)Â Â Â Deleted Scenes - Ithaca

Godspeed!

At a time of airline cutbacks, one Northwest community is hoping to buck the trend and attract new air service. But first, the community must guarantee the airline a minimum level of business. Port of Moses Lake manager Craig Baldwin is starting to line up half a million dollars in pledges toward future ticket purchases.

FS #239: Top 10 Films of 2008 / Frost/Nixon / Gran Torino / Seven Pounds

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 06:37:02 -0600

In most states, famous people have a right of publicity that prohibits anyone else from profiting off their names or personas.

Dec. Probably not. Bush Library Foundation has retrieved its domain name. When is it OK to buy up an expired domain name' As long as you're not profiting off a person or company by misrepresenting them, you're probably OK. Definitely should have been said.
- Check back for Matty's Top 25 Films of 2008 as promised.

Explainer: Is Cybersquatting Against the Law'
Is Cybersquatting Against the Law' Our approach has been fine-tuned with systems and tools in place that give you the freedom to focus on growing your business. By Christopher Beam The George W. Same with trying to sell the site back to its rightful owner for a hefty profit, as in the case of the presidential library. A small Internet company had bought www.georgewbushlibrary.com for less than $10 after it expired and then sold it back it to the library for $35,000. Check them out on blog.spout.com. Indeed, there's a whole industry of so-called domain "tasting," whereby companies buy up recently expired domain names, test their traffic ratings, and estimate their profitability. (See a list of domain name disputes here.) The First Amendment makes it legal to grab even a famous person's domain name in some situations: You might not get Hillaryclinton.com, but you could register Ilovehillaryclinton.com if you're planning to use it for nonprofit political speech. (An example of "good faith," meanwhile, might be registering Georgewbushlibrary.com as a nonprofit repository for articles about the president.) There may be added protection for domains that are named after celebrities. (Disputes are usually mediated by the National Arbitration Forum or the U.N.'s World Intellectual Property Organization.) Both systems were created to protect companies, celebrities, and even Joe Schmoes from having their names exploited online for commercial purposes. A compensation plan that surpasses all others. (The same guy registered, among other names, wallstreetjournal.com.) Likewise, Hillary Clinton won a case in 2005 against an Italian woman who had bought the domain name Hillaryclinton.com. You may also be able to use an established name if you're setting up your own, unrelated company. For example, if someone buys JenniferLopez.com and puts ads up to generate income from random visitors, that's considered bad faith. To sue someone for cybersquatting, you have to show that they acted in "bad faith," meaning they deliberately registered a certain domain in order to profit off your name. Is that legal' A business opportunity that is simple, focused and duplicable. If it's not, the company will give it back within the five-day grace period. The best movies not coming to theaters and the top 5 music videos of the year have been decided. But some companies will buy up variations or misspellings of other well-known sitesâlike, say, Micorsoft.com. (Sites like SnapNames.com and Pool.com will tell you when certain domain names are about to expire.) If a site is deemed a moneymaker, the company will hold on to it.

Travel | cruise | airlines | vacations | fun

Those sites aren't legal, but they can still turn a profit before the trademarked party notices.

The Travel Man (Pro Travel Network) - Dec 13,2008
Pro Travel Network has developed a unique business opportunity. If the domain name for Delta Airlines expired and you bought it up for your competing airline, that would be against the law. But if you were promoting a very different kind of companyâDelta Plumbing, for exampleâthen you'd be within your rights to use Delta.com. In 2000, Madonna won a lawsuit against a cybersquatter who had bought Madonna.com and set up a porn site. The opportunity to experience the incredible world of travel. 19: We interrupt your regular podcasting program to bring you Filmspotting's 'End of the Year Holiday and Winter Extravaganza' sponsored by Braniff Airlines and featuring special guests Ruth Buzzi, Paul Lynde, and reviews of the latest Holiday offerings -- including a breakdown of Ron Howard's "Frost/Nixon" with Frank Langella, Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino," and "Seven Pounds" starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson.

NOTES/CORRECTIONS
- Continuing my (Adam's) "Few Good Men"-"Frost/Nixon" comparison...Celebrities can also argue that they have common law rights to the trademark of their own names. By combining the excitement of being able to experience the world of travel, in a way only Travel Agents can, with the unlimited growth potential of Network Marketing, we have created the most exciting opportunity on the market today! Unlimited income potential with immediate and long-term residual income opportunities. The practice is legally restricted to domain names that use words you can find in the dictionary. yes, Kevin Bacon basically plays the same role in both.
- Steve Prokopy aka Capone will be back on the show in a few weeks to countdown the Top 5 Performances of 2008.
- No, I 'didn't get' "Alexandra" -- but we also weren't reviewing it and weren't going to take the time during our #10-6 to discuss it in any detail.

Explainer: Are Private Jets Safer Than Commercial Airliners'

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 06:37:01 -0600

One way in which a private jet might be considered more safe is in regard to information security. satisfactory or according to what was planned; 4. Of course, the Big Three may be worried about more than mechanical trouble or pilot error. No.
- Joanne is trying to find the most opportune time to ask her boss for a promotion. being something in name only; 2. During the same time period, there were 10 major accidents on business jets. Getting from Detroit to D.C. Seven of these accidents resulted in zero fatalities while the biggest crash of the year killed 154 people (Spanair Flight JK5022 on a Boeing MD-82).
- Our morning meeting will provide an opportune time to discuss our strategic plan.

From Jan. Well, if you flew American Airlines to Italy in first or business class last May, you could have sipped Pommery Brut Non-Vintage Champagne, followed by Sileni New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or Murphy-Goode Sonoma County Chardonnay and Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino or Clos du Val Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Join us as we talk with wine writer and consultant Diane Teitelbaum, who works directly with American Airlines to select the wines served on each of their flights.

JV476 (Nominal and Opportune)
NOMINAL = 1. It's true that, if they travel on private jets, CEOs can bring along security guards with handguns and get picked up in SUVs on the tarmac instead of rubbing shoulders with disgruntled or recently laid-off employees at the airport. The real benefits of a private jet, naturally, are convenience and efficiency. The NTSB breaks up business flights into two categoriesâ"corporate" (the aircraft must be flown by a two-person, professional crew) and "business" (two-person, professional crew not required). 24, 2008, there were only 16 major accidents on commercial planesâincluding flights carrying passengers and those carrying cargo. having to do with or being a name; 5. 1, 2008, to Oct. Are Private Jets Safer Than Commercial Airliners' Expressed in terms of flight hours, the accident rate is nearly identical. A Chrysler spokeswoman responded that "business travel requires the highest standard of safety for all employees," and CNN noted that the Big Three "have policies requiring their CEOs to travel in private jets for safety reasons." Despite these concerns, General Motors announced yesterday that CEO Richard Wagoner will not use a private aircraft when he returns to the capital for another round of meetings next week. The Big Three auto companies say they are. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, there were .135 accidents per 100,000 flight hours on commercial air carriers in 2007. having to do with or being a noun

Synonyms: so-called, honorary, titular, ostensible, small, insignificant, trifling

Antonyms: important, real

Examples:
- Marc the nominal head of our college - the real work is done by his deputy.
- For a nominal fee Just Vocabulary offers the podcast advertisement free.
- When you pay $400 for an airline ticket, a ticketing fee of five dollars seems nominal

OPPORTUNE = suitable for a purpose or occurring at the right time. What kinds of wines do they serve, you might ask. When the Chrysler spokeswoman said that "business travel requires the highest standard of safety," she likely also meant security. In 2007, the corporate accident rate was .103 per 100,000 hours, and the business rate was .72 per 100,000 hours. By Juliet Lapidos At a hearing of the House financial services committee last week, lawmakers scolded the CEOs of the Big Three auto companies for flying private jets to Washington, D.C., before requesting a bailout. On a private aircraft, CEOs can discuss proprietary information with colleagues or partners and keep in constant contact with their headquarters. But the risk level at, say, Reagan National Airport is low for Richard Wagoner: Few people know what he looks like, and American airports are patrolled by police. There were no fatalities on three of these flights and eight (the largest number) on East Coast Jets Flight 81, which crashed at Owatonna Airport in Minnesota. Even in first class there's no real privacy. happening at a time which is likely to give success or which is convenient

Synonyms: appropriate, fitting, apt, auspicious, fortuitous, timely, fortunate

Antonyms: inopportune

Examples:
- The family dinner was an opportune time for us to announce our engagement. small or unimportant; 3.
- We had just cleaned the house, so it was an opportune time to have guests drop by to see us. is pretty easy, but getting from Detroit to a GM factory in Quito, Ecuador, could be more of a hassle. (Ford and Chrysler have yet to announce their plans.) Are private jets really safer than commercial airliners' If a senior executive needs to travel to a far-away affiliate in a town with little or no airline service or to make multiple stops in one day, a private jet seems less frivolous.

Diane Teitelbaum of American Airlines

Court blocks auction of NY airport slots

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 06:37:01 -0600
This did not please the airlines or their trade group, the Air Transport Association. Continental Airlines says it will test the biofuel on a demonstration flight, with no passengers, Jan. Boeing is a partner in the project that Continental says will be the first using algae as a fuel. Laos Airlines was by far the worst airline I have been on. The U.S. Our little adventurous trio just couldn’t miss out so of course we planned the trip for our next visa run. Department of Transportation had intended to hold a sale of slots, to be taken from airlines now serving the airports, on Jan. Kevin and I flew Laos Airlines to Vientiane while Chris and Tara flew Air Asia. 12. A U.S. Air New Zealand also is testing jatropha fueThe plane wreaked of piss, the flight took forever because it was a really old and scary propeller plane (it is possibly the only plane the country owns)

Boeing Airlines Testing Algae Oil As Jet Fuel
Boeing, airlines and engine makers are testing jet fuel made from algae and a nonfood plant called jatropha. appeals court Monday blocked the planned auction of takeoff and landing slots at New York LaGuardia, New York Kennedy and Newark airports, a day before federal rules allowing the auctions were to become effective. 7 in Houston.

First, to bring my progress upto date, long story short with all the protests aginst the now ousted government inThe partnership, designed to enhance service for inter-island travellers, follows an announcement last month by WestJet that the airline was increasing their Hawaiian service to 23 flights per week.

Which to be honest sucks so far, but then it’s free and I have 5 more hours before I can board my flight to Bangkok(BKK)so it’s not like there is a huge amount to do here.
