Lumpy's New Computer – Day One
Day One – Out of Order of Course
Now those of you who know me, know that I almost never buy new computers. I have a reputation for recycling older hardware. In fact, the last new computer I bought was a Commodore 64. However, with my newest machine dated 1999, I am long overdue for an upgrade. Thanks to nice expense accounting, my tax return afforded me a new beast. I am going to chronicle making the new machine submit to my will.
Not much to say about the first day of this adventure, the tower arrived. The ASUS M51BC-US016S Desktop alone, without any monitors it is still impressive featuring a 3.3 GHz AMD FX-8300 Processor, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 2TB HDD. However, it really needs the video card and the monitors I ordered to complete my new setup. It also shipped with something I have not played with much in the recent past, Windows 8.1. This should be fun.
While I am now paying long overdue penance to the techno gods, they still had to remind them of their disdain for my Luddite ability to exist on for so long… It arrived just in time for me to barely have time to open it before a long day of work, including some overtime I had signed up for. With haste, I set it up on the dining table. Hooked an old monitor to it, booted it, ah nah, I'll skip the network set up.. okay, it booted it ain't broke… off to work.
It is a really nice machine with lots of USB plugs and a 16 in one card reader. I am as excited as a kid on Christmas morning! and the video card has not even arrived yet!
Last thought before entering work mode was "what do I name this one"?
Oops Number One – Did you really need that network?
After I completed my shift and some overtime, I was anxious to play with my new toy. There was still much I could do even before the video card and monitors arrived. After all, I had several Linux distros to install and who needs a low-end gaming card and wide screen monitors for a text based install? I also have a lot of tweaks I want to do to Windows. The first thing I wanted to do was to let Windows update while I got dinner ready. Unfortunately, in my haste to just assure the machine booted, I unintentionally set the machine up to run with no networking.
Since I didn't install or tweak anything, I rebooted and hit F9. This basically reset the machine to factory settings and, this re-boot, I made sure to connect to the network… Windows updates and dinner… very much like watching paint dry because one is anxious to rehang stuff on the walls.
While a big part of me really, really wants to get Linux installed, another part of me wanted to play with Windows. I opted to spend my first night installing all the stuff I wanted for Windows.
Okay so let us get started… oh wait… what is this? A pop-up asking me to upgrade to Windows 10? Mr. Gates, an OS that bangs my eyes like a porn site is unacceptable. I will update when and if I wish. You are not going to strong arm me into an update. I fixed this issue with Gwx Control Panel.
Okay, one annoyance down, onto my list:
- Now I am going to be installing a lot of stuff. In Linux, I could simply import the package list and Linux would simply install anything still available on the list. Windows can't do that… besides the newest Windows for I was XP. To install a bunch of stuff all at once I used Ninite. By checking the right boxes, I was able to, all in one shot, install the following:
- Chrome
- Opera
- Firefox
- TeamViewer 11
- Revo
- Skype
- Pidgin
- Thunderbird
- Notepad++
- Eclipse
- VLC media player
- Winamp
- Java runtime
- 7-zip
- WinRAR
- Paint
- LibreOffice
- Malwarebytes
- Evernote
- Google Earth
- Steam
- KeePass 2
- dropbox
- Google Drive
- Microsoft Image Resizer
As I am doing all of this, I am rapidly realizing that I don't like the 8.1 interface. Actually, not only do I not like it but I really dislike all the tiles and such. Would be great for a Surface machine but has no purpose on a desktop. I will give it a few weeks and see if I get used to it but I am not so sure at this point. Trying to navigate and/or find anything is really cumbersome… annoying is a better word. It is like MS is playing a cruel game of hide and seek with this new OS. Not being able to find anything is NOT a new feature!
Back to installs.
- Evolution email and organizer
- Palm OS or my old Palm m500
- Secunia PSI – a neat program that checks to see what programs need updates.
- Microsoft SysInternals – a neat little collection of extras, including one I abuse, a workspace (or desktop if you call it that) switcher.
- Audacity
- Audacity Plugins
- Handbrake
- Hearthstone
- Mp3tag
- And, until I think of something else, I am done
Overall, my first impression of Windows 8.1 is that it is mostly sucky. The tile interfaces are ugly. Navigation to any type of setting and finding anything is, to say the least, cumbersome and annoying. Personally, I think it might be a good choice for a touchscreen device but not for a desktop. I want a taskbar and a menu. Finally, I am totally offended that I paid good money for a PC and OS to find it comes with freaking pop-ups? Seriously, Microsoft where did you learn marketing?
Oh yeah, I also decided on a name. Since this monster is going to replace all four machines at Cold Crank Studios, I am aptly calling it ColdCrank. Stay tuned for details as more gear arrives.

Coca-Cola 600 red-flagged when Fox TV cable falls on track
CONCORD, N.C. — A cable from a Fox TV camera that hovers above pit road fell during the Coca-Cola 600, damaging several cars during the bizarre incident.
The race was red-flagged for more than 26 minutes while NASCAR allowed teams to repair their cars and check for damage. Busch, with the front of his car heavily taped, retained the lead but lost it during the next round of green-flag pit stops.
At least 10 fans in the grandstands at Charlotte Motor Speedway were injured by the broken cable.
Speedway officials released a statement about the injuries: "Ten fans were injured when a nylon rope fell over the grandstands in Turn 4 on Lap 121 of tonight's race. Seven fans were treated for minor cuts and scrapes at on-site care centers and released. Three people were transported to an area hospital for further evaluation. The rope was a guide for the network television CamCat overhead camera system."
The camera cables are held up by a crane outside the grandstands of Turn 4. The camera then slides on cables above pit road.
Ten fans were injured in the grandstand when the cable whipped them. Fans tweeted to SN's Bob Pockrass that fans were being treated in the stands for cuts from the cable.Three fans were taken to a Charlotte-area hospital for observation.
Fox said 10 fans injured. Seven treated and released from infield care center ... 3 transported. #nascar— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) May 27, 2013
Fox Sports released a statement Sunday night saying it hadn't determined the cause of the accident. It suspended use of the camera system.
"Our immediate concern is with the injured fans," Fox said in the statement.
The camera system consists of three ropes — a drive rope that moves the camera back and forth, and two guide ropes on either side. Fox said it was the drive rope that failed near the first-turn connection and fell to the track.
"The camera itself did not come down because guide ropes acted as designed," Fox said in the statement. "A full investigation is planned, and use of the camera is suspended indefinitely."
Fox said it has used the camera system at the Daytona 500, at last week's NASCAR Sprint All-Star race and other major sporting events.
"We certainly regret that the system failure affected tonight's event, we apologize to the racers whose cars were damaged, and our immediate concern is for the race fans," Fox said in the statement. "We also offer a sincere thank you to the staff at CMS for attending to the injuries and keeping us informed on this developing situation."
The incident occurred on lap 121 of the 400-lap NASCAR Sprint Cup race. Kevin Harvick won the race, which ended about 11:30 p.m. ET.
Kyle Busch, who was leading the race, hit the cable, suffering damage to the crush panels in his car. Marcos Ambrose also had the cable stuck underneath his car.
Busch was livid with the damage to his car.
"My tire wall, my interior crush panel is broke apart — this (expletive) car is killed," Busch told his team over its radio.
After falling out of the race with a blown engine, Busch said he never saw the cable before he hit it.
"I didn't see anything,†he said. "I just heard a big 'thunk' on the right front tire. I thought the right front tire blew out, that's how hard it felt and what it felt like.
"It did have an effect of slowing my car down. I could feel it, like woah (down). That's weird."
NASCAR officials told Ambrose he could get the laps back he lost while getting the cable from underneath his car. The cable damaged the brake line in his car.
NASCAR gave all teams 15 minutes to make repairs to their cars without losing their position on the track. Busch commended NASCAR for giving the teams time to repair their cars.
Mark Martin's car also was damaged.
"We have body damage, we have tail damage," Martin said in a radio interview. "It's pretty serious."
The red flag was lifted after more than 26 minutes. Fox's Chris Myers apologized to viewers on behalf of the network.
Several drivers were upset with the incident, which halted the race and possibly took out at least two contenders.
"Car is damaged big time by a stupid camera,†Busch's wife, Samantha, tweeted after the incident.
The right front of Busch's car was covered with black tape when he left pit road after repairs. He resumed the lead when the race went back green on Lap 131 at 8:22 p.m.
"Damn proud of our pit crew. They worked their butts off in that 15 mins!" Samantha Busch tweeted after the race went back to green.
"Good job fixing me up, boys," Busch told his crew over his team radio while leading the race. "Thank you."
Drivers and other competitors expressed their displeasure on their team radios and Twitter.
Kyle Busch says his "(expletive) car is killed." #nascar— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) May 26, 2013

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - While the UCSB men's basketball team goes dancing this week, another Gaucho will be representing the blue and gold on the national stage as senior swimmer Anne Marie May heads to the NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships being hosted by Purdue at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center this Thursday through Saturday.
May will be making her fourth appearance at the NCAA Championships and will be swimming in both the 50 and 100 freestyle with strong title chances in the shorter distance.
She is seeded 12th in the 50 free with her mark of 22.34, which was the best time in the country for several weeks earlier in the season. Elizabeth Webb of Stanford carries the top seed into the event with a time of 22.04.
At the 2008 NCAA Championships, May was the third-place finisher and earned All-American honors in the 50 free when she touched the wall in 22.00, a school and Big West conference record. Last season, she was battling an illness at the championships and still finished 15th overall (22.37) earning Honorable Mention All-American honors.
The Carmel, Calif. native enters the meet seeded 26th in the 100 free. Her best time in the event this season is 49.21. The top seed in the 100 free belongs to Stanford's Elizabeth Smit, whose time of 47.40 is the fastest so far this year.
May's best NCAA finish in the 100 came in 2008 when she placed 26th with a school and Big West record time of 49.13.
If May wins either event, she will become the first Gaucho women's NCAA Champion in swimming and second overall. Don Roth - the lone UCSB NCAA Champion swimmer - won the 100 free in 1966.
The 50 free preliminaries and finals will be swam on Thursday, Mar. 18 while the 100 free competition will take place on Saturday.

I am absolutely loving the resurgence of NPH aka Neil Patrick Harris. Doogie Howser is another one of those shows that I grew up watching and so I was instantly drawn to this tee when I saw it over at Rock Your Tees.
I'm thinking that it's the perfect gift or present for any aspiring physician or medical student. The perfect shirt to wear under that clean white coat. You can find I Tootered Doogie Howser at Rock Your Tees for $15.99. And in case you're wondering, yes, it's screen printed on an American Apparel blank.Â

Sick sinus syndrome is the name given to a group of arrhythmias that
occur because the normal pacemaker of the heart (the sinus node) does not work
properly. Sick sinus syndrome is also called sinus node dysfunction.
For more information on other types of sinus node problems, see Types of Bradycardia.
Sick sinus syndrome can occur for various reasons. It most commonly
results from the effect of age on the sinus node. As we get older, scarring of
the sinus node can occur and, in some people, it can be so severe that it
causes this syndrome.
Various irregular heart rates (arrhythmias) or combinations of
arrhythmias can occur in this condition. People with this syndrome can have
slow arrhythmias or a combination of fast and slow arrhythmias. These
Treatment of sick sinus syndrome depends on the type of rhythm problem. Treatment typically is a pacemaker, and sometimes medicines is used too.
In tachy-brady syndrome, also called tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome, the
heart sometimes beats too quickly (tachy) and sometimes beats too slowly
(brady). This abnormal heart rhythm problem is often seen in people who have
been diagnosed with
atrial fibrillation. It can occur when the heart's
natural pacemaker is damaged.

'Jingle Air' Supplies Isolated Soldiers
By Army Sgt. Charles Brice
Special to American Forces Press Service
FORWARD OPERATING BASE SALERNO, Afghanistan, June 23, 2008 - Imagine being a soldier out on the border of eastern Afghanistan and your only connection to the rest of the world is a pallet of supplies on the back of a foreign helicopter. That is what it is like for coalition forces cut off and isolated throughout parts of Afghanistan.
With the troops focused on combat missions, the Mesopotamia Group created "Jingle Air" to move cargo in and out of hard-to-reach locations.
Jingle Air offers helicopter services throughout Afghanistan.
The name comes from Afghanistan's popular culture. People often decorate with colors, ornaments, bells and paintings just about anything they posses, including their transportation. The trucks of Afghanistan are the most ornamented of all.
"Jingle Air is a key logistic enabler, which allows 4th Brigade, Currahee Combat Team to conduct counterinsurgency operations in an area roughly the size of West Virginia," said Army Maj. Jon Beale of 801st Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, and Combined Task Force Currahee.
With a fleet of Mi-8 HIP heavy-duty helicopters and five flight teams, Jingle Air can move up to 3.2 million pounds of cargo throughout Afghanistan, said Army Capt. James E. Fager, officer in charge of transportation and logistical operations for 801st BSB in Forward Operating Base Sharana, Afghanistan.
"Jingle Air's track record speaks for itself," said Fager, who explained the crew has conducted 20 emergency resupply missions in conjunction with supporting many areas of operations. Last month alone, Jingle Air moved 1.53 million pounds of cargo to troops out in the field and to forward operating bases throughout Afghanistan.
"The pilots of Jingle Air are very motivated to fly, and they take a personal interest in making sure the operations go well," Fager said.
Jingle Air pilots hail from different countries and nationalities. Still, they all work together toward a common goal: to ensure the cargo gets to its destination.
"Jingle Air is a force multiplier, and it allows us to move much-needed supplies and equipment," Fager said.
(Army Sgt. Charles Brice serves with the 382nd Public Affairs Detachment.)

"OSA coaching has done wonders for Jack's self esteem.
He has the Believe in it® attitude now. Thank you!" - Mrs. Watkins
How We Coach?
We coach the OSA Way. We create a positive learning environment that inspires every player
to improve at their level.
OSA Coaches spark a passion in players. They are trained to be fun, but firm.
We let players know it's okay to make mistakes. The game is 90% mental. By removing players' fear of failure this gives them confidence. This mentality accelerates their improvement. This is the OSA Way.
What We Coach?
If you can't hammer a nail, you can't build a house.
We teach fundamentals. We also teach soccer smarts to help players understand where they should be on the field during games.
Players Learn:
1. Techniques like Chipping, Bending, Shooting, Passing and Juggling
2. Speed of Play
- how to think like a pro and see the game faster to make better decisions
3. How to be Confident
4. Tricks and Skills
5. Defending and Attacking
6. Team Shape
7. How to Communicate with Teammates
8. How to be a Champion
Being a champion isn't about winning trophies, making millions of dollars and signing autographs. Being a champion is about improving everyday doing what you love, being a good teammate, showing respect to your coaches and it's about doing the little things right like picking up a piece of trash on the field to take care of your park.
OSA Coaches teach players how to be champions by leading by example.
Your OSA Coach will participate in scrimmages to lead by example of how things are done and coach as they play. We give players something to emulate. If they see an OSA Coach being successful making simple passes, they will make simple passes.
We teach the little, next level details that aren't normally taught.
"Casey learned more in an hour with an OSA Coach than she's learned in her whole youth career and she's going to be playing D1 college soccer next year. This was very worth it!" - Mr. Adkins
Why are Age Groups Split?
OSA Soccer Camps are small and personable groups.
Instead of doing one large camp for 60+ players at once we break camp into sessions. Each session is one, two hour session a day. The maximum number of players per session is 20.
We care about quality, not quantity. Small sessions provide the best possible learning experience!
Contact us at 702-637-3588 or email@example.com
We are happy to help!

- 1/2 pound (about 1 1/4 cups) dried white beans such as Great Northern, picked over and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 pound pancetta (Italian cured pork belly, available at Italian markets and specialty foods shops) or sliced lean bacon, chopped
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 large carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 rib of celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice

Simmer the soup, uncovered, for 15 minutes, thin it if desired with some of the remaining reserve liquid, and season it with salt and pepper. The soup may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the soup, thinning it with water as desired. Serve the soup with the Parmesan, the bruschetta, and the sausages.

President & Cofounder / Ambiance Radio
Age: 25
Research has proven for decades that music affects the way people feel and behave, but no one had yet applied much of this science to background music—until Newberger.
During his senior year at Cornell University, Newberger was student manager of the fine-dining restaurants on campus. After receiving multiple comment cards decrying the music, Newberger decided to find a source that would better suit the restaurants' musical needs.
"It was while looking at the different options that were available that I realized people were missing something," he says. "They weren't using one thing to be able to come up with music. They were using channelized solutions, they were using sound music branding, trying to market music to what your brand sounds like. But it turns out, they weren't using anything about science."
Ambiance Radio uses science to create a fully customized musical approach to a hospitality or foodservice location. No two stores are given the same music, even within the same brand, and the result is quite effective, Newberger says.
"We recognize that music can really make people feel and react in certain ways," he says. "For instance, we focus the music on helping the restaurant manage wait times, making it feel a little bit less like they're waiting for a little bit more. We also affect the staff. When employees are happier, that will translate to happier guests in the long term."
Ambiance Radio's clients include Schlotzsky's Deli, Firebirds, Pie Five Pizza Co., and Pizza Inn.
Newberger says playing the right music is the cheapest remodel a restaurant can do. "We've had a lot of success helping brands re-image, where changing the music was the first step in their long-haul remodel process and they saw an instant difference as soon as our music went in," he says.
Founders / Two Trucks LLC
Ages: 26 & 25
With independent food trucks all the rage, it was only a matter of time until someone dreamed up a chain.
Pool and Wagner are working to develop the first national food truck company, Two Trucks LLC. These business partners plan to roll out 200 food trucks on the road by 2014.
Wagner, whose family founded and manages Johnsonville Sausage, approached Pool, who worked in restaurant consulting, with the idea to launch a food truck centered on sausages. This led to a truck they called The Butcher's Son.
They started with two trucks in Dallas, a simple concept that later gave them their company name.
With Two Trucks, they have worked to develop a base in Dallas, "the next big city for food trucks," as they call it. Their plan is to develop four other food truck brands in Dallas, and then expand into other cities, launching multiple food trucks at a time nationwide.
Pool and Wagner say they are well on path to achieving their goal, with three trucks on the road already and two more in development.
Chief Ninja / Levelup
Age: 23
Priebatsch is the mastermind behind LevelUp, a high-tech loyalty program meets mobile payment application.
This Princeton dropout's business card boasts the title "Chief Ninja" instead of "CEO" or "Founder." Whatever his formal title, Priebatsch and his company are on the path to revolutionize the way customers pay for quick-service food.
In order to pay using LevelUp, customers scan their personal QR code on the LevelUp app. This code is pre-linked to a debit or credit card of their choosing so they never have to pull out any plastic.
LevelUp tracks users' purchasing patterns digitally and rewards return visits. Its success speaks for itself. Within 30 days, 65 percent of LevelUp customers return to pay full price at a participating quick-service merchant, and the average user returns 2.7 times to a participating merchant.
Priebatsch says his age has never been an issue for him, especially working through a digital platform. "When your product is awesome, age doesn't really matter," he says. "If you can honestly tell businesses you're going to increase customer loyalty, raise sales, and save them payment processing costs, the last thing on their mind is your age."
These 30-year-old executives, founders, and franchisees just missed our age mark. Their accomplishments, however, are no small feat.
Noah Glass / CEO OLO Online Ordering:
Glass founded OLO in 2005 to help restaurants improve their online ordering and advance their operational efficiency. Clients include Cold Stone Creamery, Five Guys Burgers & Fries, and Sonic.
Adam Eskin / CEO Dig Inn Seasonal Market:
Focusing on fresh supplies, local ingredients, and healthy preparation techniques, Eskin's Dig Inn quick-serve concept has found traction with New York City eaters.
Matthew Corrin / Founder Freshii:
Corrin opened the first Freshii, a fresh fast food bar concept, in Canada in 2005, and has since expanded to the U.S., Austria, and Dubai.
Travis Heriaud / Franchisee McDonald's:
Heriaud runs four McDonald's in Phoenix. Additionally, he works with McDonald's USA, serving on the Operators' National Advertising Fund, which is responsible for making decisions regarding McDonald's national advertising.
Clara Shih / board member Starbucks:
Shih sits on the Starbucks board of directors. She was the first to develop a social business application, Faceconnector, which kick-started the social customer-relations movement.
LevelUp already has more than 1,200 merchants and 100,000 users across Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle, with more signing up. Priebatsch's clients include a variety of quick serves, such as CiCi's Pizza, Ben & Jerry's, and Quiznos.
As the company expands into new markets, the amount of monetary transactions doubles every two to three weeks. Despite having launched in June 2011, LevelUp is already processing about $1 million in transactions per month.
Jonathan Neman, Nicolas Jammet & Nathaniel Ru
Founders / Sweetgreen
Ages: 26, 26, 27
Take-out menus filled with plant seeds, a dining table made of reclaimed bowling alley wood, and an app to calculate your carbon footprint are all features of Sweetgreen.
Founded by Neman, Jammet, and Ru, this salad and yogurt quick-service chain makes it a priority to produce good food for both customers and the environment.
The three entrepreneurs have worked together to launch Sweetgreen since their senior year at Georgetown University.
The high energy of the three business majors allowed them to open the doors of their first restaurant within three months of graduating. In order to work efficiently, they divide up tasks. Neman focuses on finance, working mainly with investors. Jammet handles the logistics of operations, including menu planning. Ru is behind the scenes controlling marketing efforts, such as the company's promotional rock concert, SweetLife.
"We have worked to create a lifestyle brand," Neman says. "We want to show people you can have fun while living a sustainable lifestyle."

Association of the HSD11B1rs12086634(T/G) gene polymorphism and IL6 serum level with the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome
In this study, serum IL6 was measured by ELISA, and the HSD11B1rs12086634(T/G) polymorphism was analyzed using a TaqMan allelic discrimination assay technique. There were statistically significant differences between the two studied groups concerning the serum IL-6 level and HSD11B1rs12086634(T/G) genotype distribution, with increased serum IL6 and increased frequencies of the GG and TG genotypes in patients with PCO. The GG genotype of HSD11B1 rs12086634(T/G) and its associated high level of serum IL-6 may represent genetic risk factors for PCOS.

Upgrading packages
From Openembedded.org
|NOTE: This page has been identified as having content that is significantly out-of-date, usually because it refers to OpenEmbedded-Classic - for new projects, you should use OpenEmbedded-Core.
See OpenEmbedded Wiki Update Project for more details.
Different layers have different policies for keeping versions of software around. Oe-Core for example is fairly aggrressive about having one, good, recent version of the software than many older versions. Other layers may have different policies.
There are two cases we need to consider:
- You do want to keep the version of the bb file that is in OE now (somebody else needs this particular version)
- You don't.
You do not need to keep the last version of the package
- Use "git-mv packages/$pkg/$file_v1.bb packages/$pkg/$file_v2.bb"
- make further changes to packages/$pkg/$file_v2.bb as appropriate.
- At the very minimum do a compilation test "bitbake $file" to make sure the new package does at least fetch and compile.
- inspect the output of "git diff packages/$pkg/". Is this really what you want to commit?
- Final step, publish your work. "git commit packages/$pkg/ && git push".
You do want to keep the last version of the package
Same as above, except instead of the first step:
cp packages/$pkg/$file_v1.bb packages/$pkg/$file_v2.bb git-add packages/$pkg/$file_v2.bb

You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of any third party participating in any myJet2 offer as well as any other terms and conditions published by us from time to time relating to other offers as part of myJet2.
We shall not be liable for any loss, damage or costs or expenses whatsoever, whether arising directly or indirectly and whether from the collection, use or redemption of any points or from any change to or termination of your membership of myJet2. We do not seek to exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by English Law and any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Please refer to the myJet2 notice board for terms and conditions which apply to individual offers.
(a) Qualifying to earn points
Where you have joined myJet2 prior to 2nd October, 2012, subsequent bookings will earn you points, provided:
• The booking is on a Selected Route (click here for selected routes);
• You are travelling on the booking at the time the original booking is made; and
• You make the booking when you are logged into myJet2 (or provide your membership number if booking in person or by phone).
Where you joined myJet2 on or after 2nd October, 2012, in order to qualify to earn points you must first make a return flight booking or 2 one way bookings (which will not earn points), which meet the following criteria:
• You must be logged into myJet2 (or provide your membership number if booking in person or by phone);
• you must be travelling on the booking;
• Jet2holidays bookings are excluded;
• group bookings of 10 or more people are excluded; and
• bookings added to your myJet2 account retrospectively are excluded.
Any flights booked which do not meet the above criteria will not qualify you to begin earning points on subsequent bookings.
In each case, whether you join myJet2 before or after 2nd October 2012, bookings you have made prior to joining myJet2, even if you have yet to travel, will not qualify for points.
(b) Earning points
Points are only earned on "Selected Routes" for Jet2.com flight-only bookings. Please click here for the up to date list of selected routes.
After you have qualified to start earning points, a booking must meet the following criteria in order to earn points:
You will earn 1 point per full £1.00 spent on Selected Routes (or the sterling equivalent if purchased in any other currencies which Jet2.com deals in). Points are earned on the 'base fare' paid for flights (which excludes taxes and charges) and other services you buy on Selected Routes, as we determine from time to time, such as checked-in baggage charges and seat selection charges. Payment charges, administration fees, booking fees, travel insurance and car hire do not qualify for points. A minimum of 30 points will be earned per booking on a Selected Route (excluding bookings where points are being spent).
With effect from 00:01 on 1st November 2012 points are no longer available to be earned on new Jet2holidays bookings, whether through promotions or otherwise.
Any eligible Jet2holidays bookings made prior to 00:01 on 1st November 2012 will still earn points (provided that a valid promotional code has been entered on the booking).
New group bookings of 10 or more people are not eligible to earn points from 00:01 on 29th November 2012.
Up until 00:01 on 29th November 2012 Group bookings of 10 or more people on Selected Routes will earn 600 points, provided that you log into your myJet2 account when requesting a group quote. We will withhold points earned through a split group booking.
You will earn points in respect of all passengers in your booking on Selected Routes provided that you are travelling. Only one myJet2 member can earn points on a booking.
You will earn points on every flight on Selected Routes you purchase online at www.Jet2.com or through the Jet2.com call centre, provided the above criteria are met. You will also earn points on new flight bookings made through airport sales desks provided your myJet2 account number has been entered at the time of booking and you are travelling on the booking.
To earn points when making purchases online, you must be logged into your myJet2 account first.
If you forget to log into your myJet2 account when making a booking, you can claim the points retrospectively for Jet2.com flights, based on the myJet2 rules in place at the time of such claim, by logging on to the "My Bookings" page of your myJet2 account, provided:
• you were a myJet2 member at the time of booking;
• you are travelling on the booking at the time the original booking is made;
• your email address on the booking matches the email address on the myJet2 profile;
• nobody else has earned points for that booking; and
• the claim for missing points is made by the earlier of (i) 28 days of the date of the original booking or (ii) 9th April 2013,
Where any change you make to the flight date or passenger name results in you paying an increased airfare, you will earn points on each additional £1.00 spent on the airfare, provided it is a Selected Route, but you will not earn points on any administration fees.
The points you earn accrue to you personally and your myJet2 membership, not to the other people on the relevant booking (even if they are also members of myJet2) and cannot be transferred for any reason and cannot be sold or re-sold.
Points for Jet2.com flight bookings on Selected Routes are earned as soon as the booking is confirmed and valid payment is received by Jet2.com. You do not have to wait until the end of the month to be able to redeem them; they can be redeemed as soon as they are credited to your account. Points for flight bookings on Selected Routes are normally credited to your account within 24 hours of confirmation of your booking and payment, but this may be much sooner.
To be eligible to use your myJet2 points as payment towards a flight booking for the first time, you will need to have reached a points balance of 600 points. Thereafter there is no minimum points balance required in order to be eligible to redeem, beyond needing enough points to pay for the flight chosen.
You can use your points towards payment for future flight bookings with Jet2.com by logging in and making a booking online via the 'Spend my points' page of the Jet2.com website (see www.myJet2.com), or contacting our call centre on 0871 226 1737.
Our myJet2 call centre's opening hours are Monday - Thursday 08.30-17.30 and Friday 08.30-15.00 (UK time).
We reserve the right to charge you a small fee per person per sector for all redemption bookings made via the myJet2 call centre. We will advise you of this fee at the time of the redemption booking.
Your points will pay for the base air fare. Unless otherwise provided in a separate promotion, you will have to pay for any fuel supplements, baggage charges, airport taxes or surcharges, or other supplements as you cannot use your points for these ancillary items. Points cannot be used towards payment of Group Bookings (10 or more people). You cannot spend your points at airports.
We reserve the right to vary from time to time the flights on which you can redeem your points, including (but not limited to) certain flights at peak departure times, on peak dates (e.g. bank holidays school holidays, major sporting events, etc.) and/or on certain routes which may have very limited availability or may be unavailable for redemption purposes altogether.
Please note that redemption seats are always subject to availability. It is for this reason that we cannot guarantee that your specific requirements will always be met.
You will need 600 points to pay for a one way flight in Zone 1 (e.g. Leeds - Alicante) and 1200 points for a one way flight in Zone 2 (e.g. Leeds - Cyprus) - view map. Occasionally, and at our sole discretion, we may offer reduced point promotions on certain routes. Points may not be used in conjunction with any other special promotions we may offer unless otherwise stated within the terms and conditions of the relevant promotion.
Remember that all bookings, whether you have used your points or not, are subject to the Jet2.com Terms and Conditions which should be read carefully before booking. Once redeemed, points will be deducted from your account and cannot be used again.
No. If you choose to spend your points by booking a flight for friends or family, but you do not want to travel yourself, you must still make the booking on their behalf.
If you have not spent your points within two (2) years after the date they were credited to your account, they will expire and be removed from your account. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any points that expire under these Terms and Conditions, you will still be registered as a member of myJet2 until such time your membership is cancelled in accordance with Section A of these Terms and Conditions . You can check the expiry status of your points by logging into your myJet2 account and visiting the 'My points' page. Where you have a nil points balance for three months, your 'My points' page will be removed.
No points will be credited to your myJet2 account after 00:01 on 10th April 2013. Accordingly and notwithstanding any paragraphs in these Terms and Conditions, any points remaining in your account as at 00:01 on 10th April 2015 will expire at that time.
You can view your statement online by logging into your myJet2 account and visiting the 'My points' page where you can view and print a copy your statement. Where you have a nil points balance for three months, your 'My points' page will be removed. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not produce paper statements.
You are responsible for ensuring your account is properly credited with points earned. If you believe there is an error on your statement then it is your responsibility to contact our myJet2 call centre on the numbers shown above, who will try to assist.
If you do not contact us by 9th April 2013 to highlight any discrepancy, you will forfeit any missing points and we will have no further liability to you.
(a) Points earned
If you need to cancel your booking (or simply do not fly i.e. a "no show"), any points earned will remain in your account.
Where you change the name of the passenger (not including your name as the myJet2 member - see below) or the date of the flight, your points earned on the original booking will automatically be recalculated and transferred to your revised booking on the basis of the myJet2 rules in place at the time of such change. This is still subject to seat availability, these Terms and Conditions at the time of such change and our Jet2.com Booking Terms and Conditions, which will give you more information about how and when you are able to change the name or date of your flight and the charges payable. Any change may result in a decrease in points earned. With effect from 00:01 on 10th April 2013, there will be no increase in points earned.
Where you replace your name on a booking with another name, you will not earn points on the booking because you, as the myJet2 member, are no longer travelling on the booking. Points earned on the original booking will be deducted from your account.
Where you replace another name on a booking with your name, you will not earn points on the booking because you, as the myJet2 member, were not included on the original booking.
(b) Points redeemed
If you need to cancel your booking (or simply do not fly i.e. a "no show"), any points redeemed will not be re-credited to your account.
Name Changes
We allow name changes to bookings paid for using points subject to Jet2.com's Terms and Conditions and subject to the terms below. As the myJet2 member, you do not need to travel on a booking for points to be redeemed. If redemption seats are available on your flight at the point you make a name change, your points will automatically transfer to your revised booking, although the effect on your points will depend on the status of the flight when you make the name change, as follows:
• If at the time of name change the flight requires more points than when originally booked and you have those points available, you will be obliged to redeem the additional points.
• If at the time of name change the flight requires more points than when originally booked but you do not have those points available, you will be obliged to pay the difference in fare between the flight cost at the time of the original booking and the flight cost when making the name change. The points originally redeemed will not be re-credited.
• If at the time of name change the flight requires the same number of points as when originally booked, no further points will be need to be redeemed.
• If at the time of name change the flight requires less redemption points than when originally booked, the excess points you redeemed on your original booking will not be re-credited.
• In each case, you will also have to pay the administration charge in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
• If redemption seats are no longer available at the time of name change you will be obliged to pay the difference in fare between the flight cost at the time of the original booking and the flight cost when making the name change, plus the administration charge in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Date Changes
We also allow date changes to bookings paid for using points subject to Jet2.com's Terms and Conditions and subject to the terms below. If redemption seats are available on your new flight, your points will automatically transfer to your revised booking, although the effect on your points will depend on the flight you are changing to, as follows:
• If the new flight requires more points than your original flight and you have those points available, you will be obliged to redeem the additional points.
• If the new flight requires more points than your original flight but you do not have those points available, you will be obliged to pay the difference in fare between the original flight cost and the new flight cost. The points originally redeemed will not be re-credited.
• If the new flight requires the same number of points as your original flight, no further points will be need to be redeemed.
• If the new flight requires less redemption points than your original flight, the excess points you redeemed on your original booking will not be re-credited.
In each case, you will also have to pay the administration charge in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
If redemption seats are not available on your new flight you will be obliged to pay the difference in fare between the original flight cost and the new flight cost plus the administration charge in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Under the Jet2.com Terms and Conditions, Jet2.com reserves the right to cancel or re-schedule its flights in the event of certain unusual circumstances which are beyond its reasonable control (e.g. poor weather conditions).
If this happens and you are refunded the cost of your flight, we will credit your account with the amount of points used to pay for that flight. Any points earned for the refunded flight will be deducted from your account.
We do not permit the pooling of points.
Individuals within the same household can have their own separate accounts, provided they are eligible to be a member of myJet2.
These Terms and Conditions were last updated on 28th October 2015.

GANSEVOORT -- Letting dairies expand their herd size benefits farmers, consumers and New York's fast-growing Greek yogurt industry, Saratoga County Farm Bureau President John Arnold said. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is pushing a measure that would let farms have up to 300 milk cows, instead of 200, without being subject to state environmental rules regarding manure's impact on water and air quality. Upstate New York Greek yogurt producers say they need more milk. Statewide, there are an estimated 800 farms with fewer than 200 cows that might be encouraged to expand their herds. "It's a win-win for everybody," Arnold said. "Milk will flow to the highest price. It always does." Cuomo proposed changing the so-called Consolidated Agriculture Feeding Operation rules last August at a "yogurt summit" in Albany. The state Department of Environmental Conservation recently concluded a series of public hearings on the matter. Environmental groups such as the Sierra Club, Riverkeeper and Environmental Advocates say the change would create larger quantities of manure and urine and that deregulation violates the federal Clean Water Act and impedes DEC's ability to meet runoff limits set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to protect Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay watershed stretches all the way into southern New York. The number of Greek yogurt plants in New York has more than doubled from 14 in 2000 to 32 today, creating hundreds of jobs, and the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 Greek yogurt brands -- Chobani and Fage -- are both expanding plants in central New York. A Fage plant in Johnstown opened in 2008. "The yogurt factories need more milk," Arnold said. Companies could compete for milk that's already being produced by offering farms a higher price, but that would get passed onto consumers in retail stores. Because of its high protein content, Greek yogurt costs more to make than regular yogurt. If plants had to pay even more for milk, Greek yogurt might cost so much that consumers wouldn't want it. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has also taken steps to encourage farms to expand herd sizes to produce more milk. Even small farms that aren't subject to CAFO rules must follow safe environmental practices with regard to manure use. However, they don't have to be certified, which costs thousands of dollars and involves extensive paper work. Cuomo's proposal would make it easier for small farms to expand herd sizes without such drawbacks. If new rules are approved, the impact would not be sudden and dramatic, New York Farm Bureau spokesman Steve Ammerman said. "This would not happen on day one," he said. "It takes considerable planning for the farmer to purchase the animals, plan for feed and space, and develop a responsible environmental strategy to deal with the manure. We are strongly advocating farmers who choose to expand to also choose to participate in the Agricultural Environmental Management program that will help with best management practices. Our farmers have long been national leaders in environmental responsibility, and the governor's proposal recognizes that strong stewardship. This wouldn't be happening if farmers haven't proved how responsible they are in New York."
