How to Get the Best Flight Deal to Europe
Many of our readers have posed questions to us related to how to get the best flight deal to Europe. Other FAQs include which European cities are best to fly into and when the best time is to buy tickets to Europe. Well, we've made an honest attempt to gather some all-encompassing answers from some of the most knowledgeable individuals on the subject. We went out and spoke with 5 travel industry experts and bloggers and asked them how to go about getting the best flight deal for travel to Europe. Through a kaleidoscope of viewpoints, there seems to be one bottom line…
Timing, Flexibility and Clever Travel Planning is Key…
Keri Anderson of Boarding Area's Heels First Travel
Be flexible on dates and locations and start tracking flights now!
If you want to get the most bang for your buck, be willing to sacrifice the perfect itinerary and weather. Travel during the shoulder seasons (April through mid-June and September & October) and be willing to fly into any of the major European airports — London, Paris, Milan, etc — and take a low-cost carrier like RyanAir or EasyJet to the cities at the top of your list.
And let the fares determine your dates, be willing to jump as soon as you find something in your budget. You can use Google Flights to see the cheapest fares for several months and see less expensive options at nearby airports. And/or follow sites like Airfarewatchdog, The Flight Deal, Fare Deal Alert, and Exit Fares to be notified when great sales pop up.
I actually don't suggest using miles, unless it's using 17.5K Virgin Atlantic miles each way to get to London from the East Coast during peak times. Otherwise it's usually an exorbitant number of miles with limited dates and you have to pay taxes and fees. For instance, an economy saver award ticket to Europe is 40-60K miles plus $400 in taxes and fees.
If people are earning most of their miles based on credit card spend, they'd probably be better off with a cashback card that earned at least 1%. For the trip above they'd have $400-$600 + what they would have spent on taxes and fees to travel on the dates they want.
Lori Zaino, Madrid-based European Correspondent for ThePointsGuy.com & Life and Style Madrid
Don't discount low cost. You can get some great deals flying Norwegian, WOW Air, even Aer Lingus and then Ryanair and EasyJet after you arrive.
Depending on what airport you plan to fly out of, get a co-branded card that works with the airline that hubs there. For example if you live in ATL, go with Delta. If you're near SFO, United. Make sure to check and see if you can also a get a credit card with transferable reward points that could help like the Chase Sapphire Preferred, one for Citi ThankYou Points and Amex Membership Rewards.
It's good to diversify but if you know you plan to fly Delta you can go at it from all ends with a co-branded card. One that transfers to that program and then also use shopping portals as much as possible to rack up points for your ticket.
Travel at random times for deals. You probably won't get good fares around Christmas and Summer and award availability may be scarce and pricey. Traveling in March, November, etc. can be great times to get to Europe and you can probably find off-peak awards too.
Daraius Dubash of MillionMileSecrets.com
Flexibility is key, keep an open mind to where you fly into.
Be flexible on both the location and date of travel. Can't find flights to France? Well, there may be flights to Italy or other wine destinations.
European Travel Tip from Greig: Once you've arrived in Europe, keep in mind that many countries have high-speed trains that offer affordable and efficient access to a vast network of cities. Just because you were forced to fly into a country that may have been your second choice, don't feel restricted and remember there are other ways to make it to your preferred destination on a budget.
Rene DeLambert of Boarding Area's Rene'sPoints.com
Plan way ahead and use points to pay for 70-90% of the trip.
Also diversify (meaning leverage status, points and rewards program benefits to get the best deals for different aspects of your trip). When you can let points pay for air, hotel, car AND driving you are way ahead!
Why pay out of pocket when you don't have to?
Chris McGinnis, former travel correspondent for BBC & CNN, current author of Travel Skills and travel advisor for SFGate
My #1 piece of advice would be to avoid the "peak of the peak" summer season if at all possible. Peak of the peak summer generally runs from June 15 through August 15. Squeeze in your trip before or after that and you'll save 30% to 50% on dollars or miles spent. A lot of folks don't realize that there are windows of opportunity in early June or late August… they think summer peak is the full 3 months of June, July and August.
Chris also notes that Summer 2016 may simultaneously be both the worst and best Summer in recent history to travel to Europe. Given the emotional state of the continent following the series of terrorist attacks by ISIS in Paris, Istanbul and now Brussels, he says advanced bookings to Europe are taking a hit. This is evident based on recent hotel occupancy (down 15-25%) in major European cities and significant drops in flight and hotel searches for Europe across major travel search engines.
It's going to be the least expensive summer in recent memory.
Just as the industry was recovering from the Paris attacks, the U.S. State Department issued a warning for Americans traveling to Europe from now through mid-June. While Americans will likely take trips that are already booked, it's less likely that they'll book new trips to Europe until time heals those wounds and we see the return of some sense of security. It's not just Americans who are skittish about European trips– the big Asian market, especially first-time Chinese travelers, are probably holding off, too.
Europe is likely going to be very inexpensive– even during the peak July-August period. Prices for everything from transatlantic airline tickets and hotel rooms to t-shirts and cappuccinos will decline significantly for two reasons: weak demand and the strength of the U.S. dollar. Currently the exchange rate is hovering at around $1.10 per euro, down from around $1.40 two years ago. A weak European economy means weak demand for transatlantic airline tickets from the other side of the pond– and that could translate into bigger airfare discounts for Americans. Plus there is new low-fare competition from the likes of Norwegian Air and WOW Air. Keep an eye on summer fare sales on transatlantic flights, which usually start this month- I predict we'll see some very steep discounts. It could get easier to redeem frequent flyer miles on European itineraries, too.
John DiScala of JohnnyJet.com
One of my tricks is:
Buy two separate tickets to Europe.
If you are traveling to a secondary destination like Sardinia in Italy it might be wise to break up the trip up into two separate tickets. Several years ago, I needed to get from New York to Sardinia. When I priced out the tickets directly to Olbia (Costa Smeralda Airport), the airlines all wanted around $2,000 and I couldn't afford that. I then figured out that by buying two separate tickets — the first to London on a major airline and the second to Olbia on a low fare carrier, I saved over $1,000! Just make sure to leave plenty of time between flights (preferably a day), because most low-fare carriers usually depart out of secondary airports. And don't forget to pack light because they have crazy baggage fees.

I like the solid info and speculation from Chris of Travel Skills. However, I wonder why it might be the worst of times to visit Europe. He lists great reasons why it is best of times.
Some very valuable tips here. I used the last on my recent trip to Europe. Flew into London and took Swiss Air to meetings in Geneva. Great savings.
These are some very practical tips. I had the same experience of paying tons of money to fly from the US to Sardinia, and if I had planned more in advance, I could have taken your tip to break up the flight into 2 short trips, with a day between, to take advantage of low cost local airlines. We've done that several times on flights from the US to London, then taking Ryan Air to the ultimate destination somewhere else in Europe. Like packing in an extra trip to London too, such a pleasure.
Great practical tips. It's always good to be reminded that traveling in the off season does reap rewards. Flexibility is another great tip. Sometimes just flying a day or two different from your original travel dates, looks to be a $$ saver. I love that you also recommend two separate tickets- great tips!
Great tips for the beginner looking to get cheap tickets. Do whatever you can to save money on tickets I think. The money is better off being spent on the ground having an experience. the only experience you will get flying is a seat, bad sleep and an average meal if you're in economy
Love these and completely agree. We fly where the deals are, hop around using discount airlines (Wow and Norwegian are current favs) and we track flights all the time and strike when something amazing comes around.
So helpful especially with the discounts and strong dollar this year. I so love learning about strategies to make my travel dollars go further.
Great tips! One of the things I've started doing in recent years is instead of picking a place to vacation, I let the sales pick for me. I'll have a general time of when I'd like to go and then just see where the flights go! It makes for more interesting adventures.
wow! Thanks for these valuable tips!
Great tips! Especially the first one about being flexible. I work in the tourism industry in Ireland and I noticed last year that we weren't as busy in the museum as we were the year before. Hopefully Chris is right and Americans will take advantage of the low cost fares.
This is awesome! I think if I spend more time in Europe the flexible rates and dates would be super helpful. Canadian airlines are brutal with their ridiculous fees, I found the buying tickets where I get to the actual point of destination is way cheaper. Hopefully, there will be travel hacks for the ridiculous Canadian outbound flights to pretty much ANYWHERE.. lolt
These are great and valuable tips. We generally use the flexible search options on Skyscanner to book all of our flights, and gather some airline miles through different credit card offers.

What's missing from your B2B marketing strategy?
Not long ago every invitation I received to every Webinar and marketing event focused on social media. Now the hot topic seems to be mobile marketing. These are just two new channels that expand the options in the world of integrated B2B marketing. They have become part of the fundamentals that successful B2B businesses must implement.
The sad part is that many B2B marketers haven't yet incorporated some of the basics that have been — and continue to be — necessary for a successful marketing outcome.
Bob Apollo, writing a guest post for My Venture Pad, alerted me to the "B2B Marketing Manifesto" created by Velocity Partners in the UK.
He points out what we all know — B2B buyers have more options than ever before for finding solutions to their business challenges. Because of that, it's more essential than ever to follow these fundamentals outlined by Velocity Partners.
- Content Marketing: converting your insight into campaigns that change people's minds
- Analytics: measuring everything that moves in your marketing (and the stuff that doesn't)
- A/B Testing: backing your hunches with real-life data — and responding accordingly
- Lead Nurturing: cultivating your prospects until they are ready to take the next step in their buying journey with you
- Search: getting found using the terms your prospects use when they go looking for answers
- Community: hanging out (and contributing) in the places where your prospects go for trusted advice
Although many of today's B2B marketers are using content, it's surprising how many are not and are simply just trying to sell product. These days, only companies with no competition can afford to do that. In regards to analytics, online click-thrus may be counted, but how many B2B marketers are tracking the lead and lead source all the way to a sale? How many are tracking cost-per-lead and cost-per-sale, both critical marketing measurement tools.
Now is the time to be planning for 2012. When marketers are putting together their plan for the next year, they should build it around these six key essentials.

Students seeking extra tutoring outside the classroom can find assistance through various services in the area.
More information
Sylvan Learning Center, 1691 Meriweather Drive, Bogart, (706) 353-8306
Pathways to Learning, 1551 Jennings Mill Road, Suite 3000 A in the Resource Valley Office Park, (706) 543-9409
Athens Tutorial Program, 400 Dearing Extension, (706) 354-1653
McPhaul Optimal Reading Enrichment (MORE) Program, The McPhaul Center, University of Georgia, (706) 548-5726
Gad's Educational & Tutoring Service, 480 N. Thomas St., (706) 546-6904
Each program is a little different from the next, whether focusing on specific age groups, particular subjects or various learning disabilities. Costs for services range in prices -- some are free.
Bob Kalkreuter of Hart County, for example, was concerned about his sons' education and contacted Sylvan Learning Center in Bogart to enhance his boys' education. For Cindy Norris, Sylvan offered a chance to help her son improve his reading skills -- a priority once she noticed him progressing a little slower than others in the subject.
Seventeen-year-old Kathryn Bentley of Monroe has been attending Pathways to Learning in Athens since seventh grade, transferring skills absorbed there to her high school classroom to deal with a learning disability in reading.
College students seeking additional math or physics help may want to check out Gad's Educational & Tutoring Service in downtown Athens. Parents wanting to concentrate on advancing their children's reading skills approach the McPhaul Optimal Reading Enrichment (MORE) Program. And students in grades 2-12 needing help in any subject matter can use the free services of the Athens Tutorial Service located in various public schools and through Athens Housing Authority.
Each service is unique in its approach and offerings. Students are not only meeting but even exceeding goals going through these extra efforts to succeed in school.
''A lot of students starting out here don't tell anyone they're coming,'' said Julie Sanks, co-owner and associate center director at Sylvan Learning Center. ''But having success helps build their self-esteem and then they are telling their friends.
''For the most part, we hear from people who know of a child coming here who is doing better in school and they want to come,'' she added. ''We get lots of calls when report cards come out.''
Sylvan provides ''supplemental education'' for children in kindergarten through high school, plus some pre-college high school graduates, providing personalized instruction with no more than three children to a teacher.
Classes are an hour long and students attend two, sometimes three, classes per week. Every 12 hours, instructors have a conference with parents to discuss the student's progress and modify the program to meet those changes.
Sylvan helps students wanting to catch up on a grade, get ahead, improve basic skills, improve SAT scores or deal with learning or attention deficit disorders.
And they guarantee success or will provide their services free.
''We were pleasantly surprised by what we found there,'' said Kalkreuter, who drives his boys two hours roundtrip to Sylvan for enhanced instruction. ''We recommended them to someone in my youngest son's class and now they're going and they seem very pleased with their child's progress.''
Before attending Sylvan, Kalkreuter's second-grader last year read at a mid-second-grade level. This year, he's reading at a seventh-grade level. His older son in fifth grade reads at a 12th-grade level.
''Now I can't say it's all Sylvan, but I can't said they would be reading as well if not for Sylvan,'' the father said. ''I just felt they needed some supplemental stuff. Whatever it is they're doing, at least for my boys, it's working.''
Norris said her son has definitely made progress since he's been tutored. ''He started in the spring of his kindergarten year to boost his reading skills because they were not as strong as I thought they should be. And he loves it there. He loves his teachers. It has worked really well for us.''
Karen Castellon, owner of Pathways to Learning, and her staff started out helping students with learning disabilities in elementary and middle school grades.
''But as the students grew older they said, 'Don't leave me now,' so we see students now kindergarten through high school,'' she said.
Pathways to Learning specializes in students with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, non-verbal learning disorders and dyslexia.
With her teaching degree in special education, Castellon started the business out of her home after several parents said they wanted her to help their children outside of school. She now sees up to 40 children at a time.
All sessions are one-on-one lasting an hour, once or twice a week. Each student goes through a personal assessment, and learning profiles and programs are created to find out which way the child learns best. Then these skills are taught to students for them to implement in their school classrooms.
''We have a high school student who had a history of failure throughout elementary and middle school. He had a reading and language disorder. We taught him the basics he was missing, and now he is on grade level and he did it in six months, much faster than usual because he worked so hard. It normally takes one and a half to two years for that,'' Castellon said.
''I do what I love to do. It is a privilege to watch students develop skills and self-confidence in themselves after years of failure in classroom activities,'' she added.
Athens Tutorial Service works within the school system helping students in grades 2-12 during the academic year and offering enrichment programs for students in kindergarten through eighth grade during the summer.
''Students looking for additional support in areas they have weakness in -- reading, math, social studies -- come to us,'' said program director Barbara Thurmond Archibald.
Students receive individual tutoring two times per week for two hours. Almost all of the tutors are University of Georgia students. Paid for by federal grants, local and state funds, and donations, this private, non-profit service is free. Archibald said they serve about 500 children each year.
The goal of the McPhaul Optimal Reading Enrichment (MORE) Program, led by Richard and Margot Endsley, is to increase the desire and ability to read of students in second grade and younger.
Children spend hundreds of hours reading, whether aloud, alone, chorally or in small groups. They also learn spelling words.
''In no way is there some unique link between reading vs. something else and becoming a successful student, but it is certainly a gateway,'' said Margot Endsley, whose students sometimes end up reading several grade levels ahead of their peers, while others improve their confidence in reading affecting other areas of school.
Currently working out of Alps Road Elementary during the school year with 40 children at a time.
The MORE Program is not accepting beginning readers for their four-week summer program, but are for the fall program.
And for college students, Gad's Educational & Tutoring Service provides help with pre-calculus, calculus I and II, trigonometry and physics.
''No one leaves my office without making an A or B in the class,'' said Moustafa Gad, owner of the 7-year-old business.
Most students come three times per week to one-on-one sessions with a maximum of four students to a tutor.
Whether enhancing, tweaking or improving, programs are available for students of any need ... with learning as a process and result.

Rosie Redfield, who was one of the initial leaders in the charge against the claims, said her follow-up research of the original project has found no such life form.
But now, Felisa Wolfe-Simon has said she wants to see Redfield's claims peer-journal published:
"We do not fully understand the key details of the website experiments and conditions. So we hope to see this work published in a peer-reviewed journal, as this is how science best proceeds."Sounds like a red herring deal to me. Redfield was doing peer research on the original claims. And, while her refutation isn't ironclad, it's good enough; per Carl Sagan, the burden's clearly on Wolfe-Simon now.
And, on NASA to fess up to just how shoddy this was, as I originally blogged.
And on Greg Laden, to admit he was touting shoddy science, and being unskeptical in refusing to consider NASA had "good" PR reasons for its fluffery.
But, given his response to my comment on Google +:
Are you fucking serious? Is Steve Snyder Socratic Gadfly?I probably shouldn't hold my breath.
Meanwhile,speaking of G+, other respondents to Phil Plait's post on the matter seem to take a he said, she said stance to this. Maybe some *want* real exolife like arsenic-based life to exist. I would love something like this to pan out, but, given what we saw from the moment Wolfe-Simon published, got fluffed by NASA, got defensive, and didn't apparently do follow-up on her own, including not clearly and fully addressing early concerns of the likes of Redfield, these people are riding the wrong horse for their hopes, and, in taking that he said, she said angle, not addressing the Sagan "extraordinary concerns" angle.

A friend of mine sent me this verse a couple of weeks ago and I have been clinging to the promise in it ever since. {:If you are new to the blog, I am quitting my job and moving to Australia in July. You can read all about that here and here:} At the moment, I am surrounded by friends who: just had babies, are pregnant, are buying land and building their dream home, celebrating their 5+ year of marriage, and seeing years of hard work pay off as the climb the ladder of success in their careers. Then there's me: selling my house, quitting my career, still asking for a table of one, and voluntarily going broke to move to a foreign country where I know a total of no one.
Obedience isn't cheap. When God desires to bless you in a big way, it is almost always preceded by an invitation to display radical obedience and extreme faith.
God gave me that invitation. {:I use the word invitation strategically, because God isn't a God that forces himself or His plan on anyone. He lays it out there, knowing it is always the better way and the better plan, but like a gentleman, he allows us to accept or decline his invitation. :} He asked me to give up my career, the 30 minute drive to my parents, Sunday afternoon lunches with the family, Saturday night date nights I have with my best friends, the luxury of having a car, and my sweet Gracie girl all to follow His call. A call that places me back in school on the other side of the planet. He asked all this of me, but His promises in this verse are true. I know that nothing I am about to give up will even compare to the promise he has for me on the other side of obedience.
I don't tell this story for applause or a sweet comment. I say all of this to encourage you. If God is asking something of you that is stretching you and growing you and causing you to flex your faith muscles it's because God has something on the other side of it that s going to bless your socks off! God longs to bless his children but he wants to know that you are faithful to him so that when he does indeed make good on his promise you will point all the credit back to HIM.

We have already spoken about how we can easily live without stuff….things that don't make us happy, things that take up a house and fill up with dust. But did you know that there is one thing that I can't live without, and one thing that David can't live without!
Living The Simple Lifestyle
We love living the simple Lifestyle….actually I wonder if that should be our new tag line? "New life on the Road – Living The Simple Lifestyle"? We have sold of so much stuff that we don't need in our life. I am sure that once we return to our shipping container we will be stunned with how much stuff is still stored in there….I guess there will come a time when we can either give the rest of the stuff away or maybe pass it off to our sons!
All That Is Really Important Is Family!
Sharing The One Thing That We Wished We Had!
When we renovated our Motorhome, David and I spoke to so many people – other Motorhome owners, to see what they thought was important in their bus, and what they could also live without. We wanted to make sure we were living with "Less Stuff" and travelling Austraila with the simple lifestyle, but still have the important things in our life. One of the things that we took out of the motorhome, and sold off, was the oven. It was almost like a brand new oven, but it was placed next to the Bunk Beds.
Our Bus Before Renovations – See What I Mean…The Oven Was right next to the bunk-beds!
No More Oven – More Bench Space!
It was actually making a burnt mark up the Bunk-beds and we thought it was far too dangerous. David wanted to keep the oven, but I was told by a few friends, that the Motorhome would become too hot with an oven inside. So we decided to sell it, and instead have a stove cook top on the bench. Seen as how I am not the cook in the family, I am happy with no oven. After all many years ago Australians cooked without ovens all of the time…they used outdoor fires!
David really misses having the oven to cook with – he makes the most yummiest meals, desserts, biscuits and slices! Maybe its a good thing….I don't like to cook, but if someone cooks yummy food, then I am happy to taste it 🙂
What About The Countries Who Dont Have A Kitchen?
What about those countries/towns/cities/third world countries who don't have a kitchen? They don't have the means, the money, the equipment to cook the food. Actually sometimes they don't even have the food ….so we are very grateful for what we do have. We have our Motorhome – a roof over our head. We also have the Convection Oven which cooks our food…and we have it set up outside so that our bus does not become too hot with cooking meals.
Did You Know What I Miss The Most?
It's so funny – Living The Simple Lifestyle But Still Would Love One Thing……
Here is what we can live without….
- The biggest Fridge in the world – with five boys we used to have a huge fridge!
- Our three-piece lounge chairs – the ones with the recliner chairs!
- Our massive big king size bed
- Our gorgeous outdoors table setting – we loved sitting on our back veranda to look out over the back yard
- My Ikea book cases – I so love Ikea furniture!!
- All of my dresses….I have a limited amount of wardrobe space so most of my clothes went to lifeline 🙂
- My shoes – I love shoes – but I have no-where to wear my shoes, so again they went!
- All of our books…we are a huge book loving family – we actually had two big Ikea Bookcases, and then two smaller bookcases full of books!
- A big house to spread out in!
But There Is One Thing I Do Miss…..a Bath Tub!
We don't even have a toilet in our bus, yet I don't miss that!
We have a shower….but I so would love a bath tub. If we were building a Motorhome from scratch, and it was longer than our 9m bus, then we would have put in a corner spa….not that we have the water tanks for that much water!
Our Water Damaged Lounges – They were so dangerous but good for storage space!
New Lounges Made of Stronger Material – but less storage space!
In our motorhome we made some changes when David renovated. We got rid of the microwave – we never ever use one because they are so not healthy. We took out the small caravan fridge, and put in a bigger fridge – still not as big as our one we used to have in our house! We also had to replace the water damaged lounges. We had to put in steel lounges, so that seat belts can be added. Yes they look good, yes they are safe, but again we lost storage space.
Our Kitchen and Motorhome Before the Renovations
Our way of cooking simple meals 🙂
That is what happens when you live the simple lifestyle…you get used to the space you have, and you only take what you need.
When you think about it we can all live happily with less – but I wonder where I can find a place that has "Hot Spas" to fill my need for a bath, and I wonder where David can find an oven to cook something yummy in!!!
Do We Really Need A Household Full Of Stuff To Make Us Happy?

Just culture: Who are we really afraid of?
When we think about just culture, we usually think about accidents and incidents, associated 'honest mistakes' and 'negligence' (by whatever name), as well as official responses to these, at company and judicial level. The notion of just culture is driven partly by fear; fear of being judged and blamed, especially fear of being blamed unfairly. The fear is felt most strongly by operational staff, who are at the sharp end of organisations and have sometimes faced disciplinary … Continue Reading ››

Form and Content
(Critical Edition of Young Adult Fiction)
In Great Artists of America, Lillian Freedgood presents in chronological order the biographies of fifteen American artists, fourteen men and one woman, who have made significant contributions to American art and who are related in character in their dedication to art and to the pursuit of their vision. These artists, unique in their personal battles to excel in their chosen field, epitomize the dedication of truly committed and creative individuals.
The book opens with an introduction by the author that briefly describes historical events in the United States during the early days of the country. This history, which begins with Christopher Columbus' discovery of America, discusses the evolution of painting by the earliest Americans and the beginnings of the various painting styles. This general preface is followed by fifteen chapters, each of which identifies an American artist by description, name, and birth and death dates, such as "The Yan-kee Individualist—Winslow Homer—18361910." The descriptions serve as hints about the characters of these artists and to provide insight into the traits that defined each of them artistically. Each biography then outlines the life of the individual from birth to death, focusing on early life, entrance into the artistic community, ambition, defeats, and successes. Of particular emphasis within the chapters are discussions of the individuals' motivations to paint and the processes through which they evolved. Freedgood uses a third-person narrative voice that provides factual information with little reconstructed conversation or embellishment.
Color reproductions of paintings by the artists are located in the middle of the book. The illustrations provide the artist's name and the title and the current location of the painting, and mention is made of the source from which the reproduction originated. A recommended reading list for teenage readers interested in the subjects of the history of American art, the history of art, modern art, biographies of various artists, and art-related monographs, catalogs, periodicals, and magazines follows the final biography. A detailed index of artists, famous people, artistic works, and art schools completes the book.


text: I've got (had) a virtually monopoly in this one particular neighborhood where I have over 20 lawns for 8-9 years. They're all within walking distance and I make a killing financially. However recently there's been a group of mexicans walking door to door 'selling' their services. Over the past month they've stolen 8 of my regular weekly customers. This is just a killer. The thing is these guys are mowing the lawn, pulling the weeds, and trimming the shrubs each week for LESS than I charge to just mow! ($25). I know business is business and everyone has the right to price however they want (See Wal-Mart)....but they're bringing the whole damn industry down with them. Of course they probably live in a single apartment with 5 of their amigos, so they have virtually no overhead. I'm not liking this pattern.

Running back Dominique Hunsucker (5-10, 185, 4.5) from San Jose (Calif.) Valley Christian took his visit to Boise State and just returned home.
"My trip to Boise State went pretty good," Hunsucker said. "I really liked their academic program."
"Boise State showed us that they have the third highest graduation rate behind Stanford and Air Force for the Western Region of colleges," Hunsucker said. "I also like their facilities."
"I didn't commit because I still have one more trip to San Jose State this coming weekend (Jan. 27th)," Hunsucker said. "I will make up my mind after my trip to San Jose State."
"I'm open to all my schools that I have visited," Hunsucker said. "I don't want to show any bias to any school until I visit all of them."
Hunsucker rushed for roughly 1,329 yards and scored 25 touchdowns. He also caught 16 passes for approximately 300 yards and two touchdowns through the air. His performance was instrumental in Valley Christian's 12-1 record and winning their fourth championship in a row.
He also played some safety for Valley Christian as senior.
Hunsucker's senior season saw him earn League Athlete of the Year, Section Player of the year and second-team all-state honors.

At Prime Minister's Question time just before the Autumn Statement, this Wednesday afternoon, The leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, chose to focus his questions to the Prime Minister on the funding crisis in social care. Corbyn asked the Prime Minister about the more than 1 million people who are not receiving the social care they need, the impact this is having on emergency hospital admissions, the fact that it is causing people to be stranded in hospital for longer than they need, the worry and fear that people face in old age and the stress that it places on NHS and social care staff.

I think you answered the question yourself. Us girls are usually pretty good at picking up those things so chances are he has a crush on you. Or possibly something deeper than that, it depends on how close you are. So the real question is whether you're going to do something about it or not :)00|00|0

The Scary Reason Europe Is Doomed To Crisis After Crisis After Crisis
What's the real reason Greece is in so much trouble?
Old people. The country has a massively generous pension system that's breaking the government's back. Remember, the recession hasn't even been all that deep in comparison to other countries.
But demographics and pension are a problem throughout Europe. It's just a matter of timing.
We identified the worst countries by a composite ranking of (1) the pension-to-GDP ratio in 2035 and (2) the decrease in working age population (relative to total population) by 2020. All data comes from the European Commission's 2009 EU Aging Report.

text: Technology No More Searching For Change, One MeterFeeder Comes To Town By Mark Nootbaar • Jun 21, 2016 Laurl Valn / Flickr In a sparsely decorated office in Braddock, two men are trying to build a parking payment empire and it all started with a lunchtime conversation. "One of our colleagues, she opened up her purse to help chip in and instead of pulling out money she pulled out a fist full of parking tickets," said MeterFeeder co-founder and CEO Jim Gibbs. "She looked at us with desperation in her eyes and said, 'If you make an app where I can pay for parking I would use it every day.' And two weeks later MeterFeeder was born." Bus Stops To Incorporate iPhone-Like Wayfinders By Noah Brode • Jun 7, 2016 Matt Nemeth / 90.5 WESA Blue roadside signs reading "Bus Stop" could become a thing of the past as the Port Authority of Allegheny County begins its rollout of more robust bus stop signage this summer. Starting in July, roughly 85 Downtown bus stops will be outfitted with signs that include route maps, bus schedules and frequency information. Port Authority spokesman Jim Ritchie said the new wayfinding system will eventually be at all PAT bus stops in the county. Meet Herb, A Robot To One Day Help Around The House By Melinda Roeder • May 24, 2016 Carnegie Mellon University Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Personal Robotics Lab have spent years working on ways to make robots execute subtle, human-like movements in the hopes of helping around the house. With cameras for eyes, two thick arms and the occasional bowtie, Herb – an acronym for home exploring robot butler – only recently learned to move a cup across a table. "We're trying to get robots to be able to work in a home environment," said Carnegie Mellon University Ph.D. student Jennifer King. Tech Leaders Aim To Inspire Next Generation Of Females In Science By Melinda Roeder • May 17, 2016 Melinda Roeder / 90.5 WESA Saint Bartholomew School student Daryl Jean, of Penn Hills said she can't understand why more girls don't get excited about science and technology. "I feel like girls, they can like science and stuff, but they don't understand it, and some boys can be intimidating," she said. "But I think you should try your best, because there's a lot of inspiration out there." The American Association of University Women tried to kick start some of that inspiration in young Pittsburghers last weekend with its "Tech Savvy" computer coding workshop at La Roche College. So Long Textbooks? Former Education Official Pushes For Digital Teaching Tools By Sarah Schneider • May 12, 2016 Scott Barkley / 90.5 WESA Allegheny County school officials are considering taking a bold step – ditching textbooks. Superintendents, curriculum directors and librarians from multiple districts met Thursday to discuss getting using new materials. They're looking to follow in the steps of other schools around the country using open educational resources –- which are free and non-copyrighted, shared materials. Barnacles Beware, Navy Takes Interest In Local Company's Boat-Preserving Technology By Melinda Roeder • May 10, 2016 Melinda Roeder / 90.5 WESA A doctorate project-turned-start up by two University of Pittsburgh students has grown from its days sharing a space at AlphaLab in East Liberty. Kasey Catt and Noah Snyder first started InterPhase Materials with the intent of developing nontoxic coatings to be used inside the body for brain or dental implants. But after hitting roadblocks with the FDA, they refocused their efforts on coatings to keep marine life, such as mussels and barnacles, and mold from sticking to boats and buildings. Forget Cars, This Company Has Self-Driving Forklifts Figured Out By Melinda Roeder • Apr 26, 2016 Melinda Roeder / 90.5 WESA As companies like Uber and Google work to make self-driving cars, a local company is working on another autonomous vehicle: forklifts. Engineers and designers at Seegrid have spent the last decade perfecting technology that allows automated forklifts to travel through warehouses and move heavy product without a human behind the wheel. The machines roll about like robots, making noises that sound like beeps, bells and sirens as a means of communicating with one another and employees. City To Install Free Wi-Fi In 22 Community Centers By Mora McLaughlin • Apr 14, 2016 Mora McLaughlin / 90.5 WESA Anyone who visits a Community Recreation and Healthy Active Living Center in Pittsburgh can meet with neighbors or grab a bite to eat.

Giving Unique Voices To The Vocally Impaired By Mike Richards • Apr 11, 2016 Margot Callahan Margot Callahan, of Highland Park, is providing her voice for a stranger – literally. She's one of thousands of people who have donated their voices to people with vocal disabilities, caused by a range of factors such as a stroke, cerebral palsy or Lou Gehrig's Disease. VocaliD is collecting those voices and using them for voice software devices. The goal is to provide a more accurate representation of the actual person's voice, rather than being stuck with a robotic generic one. Eye-Tracking Technology Used For Nonverbal Patients Making Its Way To Video Games By Melinda Roeder • Mar 29, 2016 Melinda Roeder / 90.5 WESA A Pittsburgh-based company is finding new ways to use eye-tracking technology to help children with disabilities learn language skills at a younger age by playing digital games. Now the video gaming industry is taking notice. Tobii Dynavox has been making devices to help nonverbal patients communicate with the help of computer-assisted voice technology. Many of their customers are stroke survivors and adults with degenerative diseases like ALS, in which sufferers lose muscle control. But the company is now looking to expand their devices to young children, and even toddlers. Self-Driving Cars Are Coming, But They're Not Ready For Pittsburgh Yet By Stephanie Roman | PublicSource • Mar 4, 2016 Anita DuFalla / PublicSource Ninety percent of car crashes are preventable. As it stands, about 30,000 people die in car crashes every year in the United States, said Mark Kopko of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation [PennDOT]. "If you could reduce that by 90 percent, that's huge." Autonomous cars have the capacity to do that. In Allegheny County, that could mean a vast reduction in the roughly 12,000 crashes in 2014 — especially of those attributed to driver error, like drunk or distracted driving and speeding. 4Moms' Robotic Car Seat Aims To Improve Safety, Installation By Melinda Roeder • Mar 3, 2016 4Moms Pittsburgh-based 4Moms, which works to create innovative parent-friendly products for children, unveiled a new product to streamline the clunky process of installing a car seat.

'Scrubba' Designed To Clean Large Buildings, Like Giant Roomba By Jennifer Szweda Jordan • Jan 5, 2016 Jennifer Szweda Jordan / 90.5 WESA Small, autonomous, robotic vacuums like Roomba, Botvac and others revolutionized tidying for the average at-home cleaner. Four inventors in Oakland want to do the same with an industrial-scale robotic janitor built to sweep and mop big spaces like malls and airports. On a recent evening, Discovery Robotics' inventors gave the boxy, blue, metal prototype a trial run as engineer Naman Kumar looked on. In his hand was a remote garage door opener programmed to start or stop "Scrubba" and its 300-pound heft. Fighting An Airplane's Natural Enemy: Ice By Jennifer Szweda Jordan • Dec 23, 2015 Jennifer Szweda Jordan / 90.5 WESA A Canonsburg-based company's superfast computer simulations are helping airplane designers learn about something that the rest of us might not want to think about: how ice forms on airplane wings and engines. Once an airplane takes off, it soars into hard-to-predict natural elements. One of the most dangerous of those elements is ice. A technology stalwart in the region called ANSYS is addressing this problem.

Program Notes
Dulcis amor was commissioned as part of The Harvard Glee Club's sesquicentennial. I was particularly happy to fulfill this commission, as I had conducted the Harvard Glee Club in 1984 during one of Jameson Marvin's sabbaticals.
The Latin text is by the 8th-century teacher and cleric, Alcuin of York. Alcuin was born in England and traveled to the continent, ultimately finding a position at the court of Charlemagne where he served as librarian and tutor to Charlemagne's two sons. He established many schools and was known as a "teacher of teachers." Alcuin codified Carolingian minuscule script and wrote elementary texts on arithmetic, geometry and astronomy. Through his teaching, Alcuin lay the groundwork for what would later become known as the Renaissance in Europe.
Alcuin left many letters, and the text of Dulcis amor is drawn from one of these. Alcuin's heartfelt line, "Rare the faithfulness among friends which creates dear friends," speaks to that communal spirit found in choral singing. Dulcis amor is the second in the set Amo! It may be performed separately a cappella or with harp.
Text / translation
Dulcis amor (Sweet Love)
Dulcis amor lacrimis absentem plangit amicum
quem longinqua negat terra videre oculis.
Rara fides hominum caros effecit amicos,
milia multa cient, pectore solus erit.
Argento melior, fulvo pretiosior auro,
omnibus et gazis clarior iste nitet,
quem cupit et quaerit mentis sibi tota voluntas
ut habeat, teneat, diligat atque colat.
Iste eris ecce mihi magno coniunctus amore,
tu requies mentis, tu mihi dulcis amor.
Te deus aeterno conservat tempore semper,
tu me memor semper ubique vale
–Alcuin of York (735-804)
Sweet love weeps tears for absent love,
Long distant land denies my eyes sight of him.
Rare the faithfulness among men which creates dear friends
Innumerable those who cry, the heart remains alone.
Better than silver, more precious than yellow gold,
All this and royal treasure are nothing compared to this one
Who is coveted and sought for by the heart with its whole desiring
So that it may have, hold, esteem, and care for him.
This is therefore my great bond of love,
You are the quiet of the heart, you my sweet love.
May God protect you through all time;
Remember me always wheresoever you go, farewell.

Health Query
My penis is curved into left side while erected I'm embarrassing to see this. Can I straight it with coconut oil massage with the right hand.
Asked for male, 24 years old from Dehradun
I am 23 years old 4th year btech student. I am having little dizziness while I am standing still or not working. Sometimes I also have heavy head. It is happening from last two months, I firstly consulted with general physician who told me for neck xray which was normal and prescribed me with medicine for vertigo for 10 days. During that course I got diagnosed with malaria and typhoid and other doctor said that dizziness might be due to malaria so I carried on with medication for same. It has been more than 15 days completing the course for typhoid and malaria but my dizziness has not gone. I get my sleep well, no nausea. I am little health phobic and want to get fit and study well. Kindly give guidance for which specialist doctor should I go?
Please check Hb & vitamin B12 levels. And take proper doses, if needed. Anxiety, cervical spondylosis, meneriere diseases are some common causes that can cause this. Homeopathy can help in above issues.

Hi. The technique involves stimulating the penis and stopping just before you feel you are about to ejaculate. Stop the stimulation for 30-60 seconds and start again once you feel that you have regained control. Repeat this process 4-5 times, stopping and "resting" every time you feel that you are about to have an orgasm.

I feeling nausea. At every morning. For last 10 days. This feel make me woke up. It didn't go away. What I do.

Health Query
Regarding premature ejaculation. I had sex with my girlfriend and going to marry with her but m facing issue of premature ejaculation. Ejaculation to time is between 1 to 2 min hardly. Firstly I ignore this but nowadays its getting serious for both.
Hello dear lybrate-user, hi Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* There is psychological issue in majority of the cases, where both partners are in hurry just to finish the act of intercourse.* Provide more time in foreplay, understand needs of each other in depth, perform sex as an art rather than play of finishing ; deep breathing exercises, meditations,YOGA will support great in this regard.* Avoid smoking, alcohol if using. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.

Health Query
Hlo doctor .my penis not standing if stand its down in few seconds .no feeling coming when a see something wrong my penis react nothing .please suggest me what I do. And I have a less sperm count .my age is 17.
Hello dear lybrate-user, Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* As there is night fall, the erection is perfect physiologically that is the proof for sure.* Your ED and early ejaculation is more likely to be psychological and anxiety associated rather than major problem.* Need to strictly follow certain guidelines for better results - Drink plenty of liquids - Balanced nutritious diet rich in iron, proteins,vitamins.- Avoid smoking, alcohol if using.- Avoid stress, anxiety.- Regular walking in fresh air, exercises,YOGA, meditations will support great.- Manage to have regular sound sleep of 8 hours.- Think that sex is an art, rather than just an act of finishing ejaculation.- Do not think that the time you have in masturbation will be the time during intercourse, as there will be different body reaction with the female partner, foreplay and other acts which will automatically increase your sex time by many folds. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.

Kernel/Asterisk/DAHDI/Libpri Version Matrix?
I googled about a bit without success, so…
Is there a version matrix available?
Something that would say: for kernel version w, you can run up to version x of Asterisk, DAHDI version y, and libpri version z?
For example, I have a bunch of remote hosts running kernel 2.6.26, Asterisk 11.6.0, and DAHDI 126.96.36.199.
We experience occasional Asterisk crashes, so I'd like to get as up to date as possible to see if that resolves the crashes before diving deeper.
1) What is the 'highest' versions of DAHDI and libpri that I can run with kernel 2.6.26 and Asterisk 11.6.0?
2) What is the highest version of Asterisk I can run with kernel 2.6.26
and what would be the appropriate versions of DAHDI and libpri?
