Join my weekly chat every Monday or Tuesday to have your question considered for the weekly Bruschi on Tap Q&A.
Q. Tedy, you played with Vince Wilfork. We hear how valuable he is, but the stats don't always reflect it. Can you describe why he is so valuable? -- Mike (Massachusetts)
A. The successful Patriots defenses have always been built from the inside out. Think of Richard Seymour, Ted Washington, Bobby Hamilton, Anthony Pleasant, Ty Warren, etc. Vince Wilfork might be the most valuable of them all -- not only making the job of Jerod Mayo easier, but also his recognition of scheme runs is outstanding. I could go on forever about Big Vince's value, so I plainly put it this way: Besides a Brady injury, there couldn't be a bigger blow to this team.
Q. Tedy how do you think the defense adapts to the loss of Wilfork? Can Armond Armstead, who they picked up in the draft, be a viable option and work along with Tommy Kelly? Also what about Richard Seymour? Should the Patriots go after him? -- Mihir (Atlanta)
A. This coaching staff might have to find a way to creatively use Brandon Spikes as a defensive lineman. I don't see Seymour coming back. I think that ship has sailed. Armond Armstead's medical status is still an uncertainty.
Q. Hi Tedy, where's Brandon Spikes been? After the OTA drama, is this coach sticking it to him with reduced playing time or Dont'a Hightower simply being the preferred backer? Or is it all just scheme a la Wes Welker's reduced snaps last year's opening few games? -- Matt (East Brookfield)
A. Spikes is a package-specific player in this system. A run-stopping LB. The team was mainly in sub defenses against the Falcons. That's why Hightower got more reps. Hightower is a better all-around 'backer in my opinion. Now with the Wilfork injury, I wouldn't put it past this coaching staff to line up in a 34 defensive look and just send Spikes into the line on an every-down basis.
Q. How will Coach Belichick have to change the strategy of the front seven as they try to make up for the loss of Wilfork? -- Andy (Pittsfield)
A. As strange as it sounds, this is a situation where Coach Belichick will be at his best. With few options to work with along the defensive line, he will be more apt to go with an unconventional approach.
Q. What are the chances that we see the Pats bring in an outsider to fill the void at DT? Who do you think it would be?
A. I think that if there were someone out there to sign they would have done it by now. Defensive line depth has been one of their major problems all year. These guys don't fall from the sky. Now the guts/interior of this defense is counting on Tommy Kelly. Who saw that coming?
Q. Hi Tedy, two questions.1) Why was Pete Carrol such a failure in New England and such a success in Seattle? 2) Why were our rookie receivers such a success in the preseason and such failures in the first three games? -- Dennis (Winnipeg)
A. I wouldn't call Pete Carroll's time here a complete failure. Under Carroll, many players benefited from his tutelage and got better to a point where when Bill Belichick came in they were ready to take the next step. I was one of those players. On the rookie receivers, you can't expect regular-season success based on preseason results.
Q. Do you think the Titans are a playoff team? -- Jason T. (Owings Mill)
A. I do not think the Titans are a playoff team. They have promise, but not this year. Especially with the Jake Locker injury.
Q. Tedy,In your experience, why is it so difficult to close out games in the NFL? Do teams become so clock interested and out-think themselves instead of just playing the sound defense that put them in that position in the first place? -- Dan (Cary, N.C.)
A. Sometimes defenses will play more standard calls and that's when offenses can have more success. Or in cases like Matt Ryan and the Falcons, some players and coaches play a less-inhibited style when they are behind. Why it took a deficit for Matt Ryan to turn it loose is a mystery to me.
Q. Will the Patriots ever be challenged this year? How are they doing this? -- Deven (New York)
A. The Bengals will be a challenge this week ... depending on what Bengals team shows up. The Saints are the real deal.
Q. Does anybody want to challenge the Patriots? -- Deven (New York)
A. Just when you think the Dolphins would challenge for the division they lay an egg versus the Saints. I think their defensive line is legit, but Ryan Tannehill's mistakes, and fundamental errors from the defensive secondary, made them look like pretenders, not contenders, on Monday night.
Q. Hi Tedy, give us some insider's perspective about how Pats players receive injury updates and how they are briefed to protect this kind of info with the media. For example, do players on Wednesdays already know and prepare to play without Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola? Or they are teased until Fridays like the rest of us? Do Pats give players extensive guidelines on how to deal with media (e.g., avoid bulletin board material, protect competitive info, etc.)? -- Nissim (Bogota, Colombia)
A. Good question. Players are instructed to say nothing about injuries. It has been explained how injury information can benefit your opponent. So as a player you also want to keep the opponent guessing. Sometimes you know that a player definitely will not play and other times there are the game-time decisions. You know a valuable player will be working out before the game and when he comes back in the locker room after that pre-game mini-workout, as soon as he steps foot into the locker room, you go up to him and ask if he will go or not. If he tells you no, then your mind immediately has to adjust to not having him.
Thanks to everyone for chatting today. We'll do it again next week.

Hello everyone,
I have a couple questions about the Spun theme. I have a music journalism site where I post music reviews. I would like to put the album review titles under the circles on the Home page so that people visiting the site can see what review they are looking at before they click on it.
Also, how do you make the page titles stand out? On my page, I have pages such as "interviews", "live shows", etc.. and they barely stand out even though I was able to change the color to black. Here is the link to my blog: http://www.listenherereviews.com/

For example, studies of the condition often describe 'brown' irides as a dark, chocolate color and 'blue' irides as a very dark, slate gray. The iris also lacks the usual pattern and has a smooth appearance.

Anna nearing the top of the first pitch (5.10a). The bottom of the pitch involves climbing up a series of flaring pins scars. I thought this was kind of scary because there was no pro at all for the first 30 feet. But then again, I'm kind of a wuss.
After that, the climbing became more enjoyable and much better-protected.
Looking down pitch 2 (5.10a).
You start by moving over to the crack on the right (climber's left) and make a fun and slabby traverse back over to the crack on the left.
After the crack-switch, the rest of the pitch is a very nice finger/off-finger crack.
Pitch 3 is the crux, fun 5.9 hands to a short but steep 5.10d thin-finger crack. The fingerlocks were solid, but there were no feet whatsoever, which made placing gear pretty tough.
Anna cranking through "the locks".
Pitch one of Sons of Yesterday is a low-angle and bushy 5.6. Sons begins in earnest with its crux, pitch 2, a long and sustained thin-hands and off-fingers crack.
Looking down from the top of Sons' third pitch (5.9).
Pitch 4 of Sons (5.9). Super Topo calls this pitch "perhaps the single best hand crack splitting a clean face of granite in Yosemite." This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but the pitch was definitely a pleasure to climb.
Following Sons P4.
Pitch 5 (5.10a) of Sons is pretty unique, a nearly horizontal thin-hands crack.
From the top of Pitch 5, nine raps with a single 70m rope got us back to base. We were definitely psyched to take our shoes off at this point. Eight straight pitches of straight-in crack climbing is not easy on the toes.

Groton — The newly-expanded Poquonnock Bridge Fire District board of directors voted Thursday to rescind a contract with the firefighters union that had called for annual 3 percent wage increases over the next 10 years, along with an increase in staffing and a boost in benefits for retirees.
The unanimous vote came on the heels of a complaint filed with the state Freedom of information Commission by board clerk Nancy Beckwith. Beckwith and other board members questioned the legitimacy of the 2-1 vote on July 26. She claims the agenda did not contain information announcing the board would be discussing in executive session the contract and retiree payments.
Beckwith abstained from Thursday's vote and did not attend the executive session under advice from the district's attorney.
The five of the nine board members who voted Thursday to rescind the contract and other items taken up at the July 26 meeting said that not only was the vote improper, but the contract appeared to be overly generous in a time when taxpayers cannot afford it. The size of the board was increased from five to nine members after the July 26 vote.
"What company gives a 10-year contract?" board member Randy Ackley asked.
"The meeting wasn't legal in our opinion," board member Ron Yuhas added. "Now that we have a few more people involved, I'd like to think we can come back together as a group and start over."
Ackley and Yuhas joined the board after district voters petitioned to expand membership to nine on Aug. 1.
To add to what is already a contentious issue, Beckwith said she was notified Thursday of another Freedom of Information complaint — this time questioning the legitimacy of the Aug. 1 vote that expanded the board. She does not know who filed the complaint.
With the vote rescinded, Beckwith said she expected further contract negotiations with the union.
"We're willing to work with the union, but the contract that was signed is just too much," she said. "Ten years is ridiculous and might even hurt (firefighters)."
Also voting Thursday was former board president Alan Ackley and former vice president Peter Legnos. Both were ousted at the annual meeting in May and replaced by President Christopher Clark and new Vice President Kevin Czapla.
Czapla and board member Tom Wimler were not present at Thursday's meeting. Clark, as president, cannot vote. He was not available for comment after the meeting.
It was under Clark's leadership that the board approved the 10-year contract with the Poquonnock Bridge Professional Firefighters Association, Local 2704. The contract boosted salaries for new hires from $52,700 to a high of $70,000 in 2021. Union president and fire inspector Kale Kiely became a deputy fire marshal under the contact and received a $3,000 raise in pay. The fire marshal, who now makes $75,450, would see his salary increase to more than $100,000 by 2021. The wage increases affected 28 of 30 sworn members of the department. The fire chief and deputy chief are not included.
Terms of the contract also added four lieutenant positions and authorized a force of six firefighters per shift. Retirees would have received an automatic 3 percent increase in retirement payments.
With a $4.7 million budget, Poquonnock Bridge has the highest tax rate, 5.9 mills, of the town's nine fire districts.
Property owner Jay Dempsey, one of a handful of people to attend Thursday's special meeting at the Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department's Fort Hill station, said he was acting as a watchdog.
"You trust government to do the right thing and that doesn't always happen," Dempsey said. "What bothers me is two people making such a big financial decision for so many. It made me want to get more involved."

Episode 2
When Peter Stothard, former editor of The Times and now editor of the Times Literary Supplement, finds himself in Alexandria in the winter of 2010 after his flight to South Africa has been cancelled, he sets out to explore a nation on the brink of revolution.
Accompanied by two native Egyptians, Mohammed and Socratis, whose eagerness to spend time with him is never really explained, Stothard traces his lifelong interest in the history of Cleopatra, and his repeated failure to write the book about her that he has started so many times.
Melancholy and sometimes humorous, Alexandria filters the life of a classics scholar turned journalist through the prism of Cleopatra's turbulent history - while all around the author, the cracks begin to appear in Hosni Mubarak's own empire.
Episode 2 (of 5):
Peter Stothard was a bookish child who began his only work of fiction, featuring Cleopatra, aged 9. The new library in Alexandria is the obvious place to visit, and his own name the obvious one to look up in its vast catalogues of published work.

This is a nice, quick alternative to Ziti! So easy to put together and has a very nice flavor! If you have no Monterey Jack Cheese on hand, Mozzarella or Provolone, I'm sure would work wonderfully with this! Serve it with a tossed green salad and crispy bread. Thanks, Barb, we certainly did enjoy our supper this evening!
The family liked it well enough but felt that the amounts of stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce were overkill, drowning the small amount of pasta and keilbasa the recipe called for...Or perhaps we simply prefer our pasta dishes a little less overwhelmed with it's sauce...UPDATE: This 'casserole' is an excellent candidate for OAMC use...We adjusted the recipe to our taste, doubled the recipe, ate one and froze one...The following week the frozen batch was thawed in the fridge 24 hours in advance and then baked per the recipe's instructions...It survived the freezing process and reheated well...Thank you for showing us a new variation of a Ziti Bake!
I made this for a church potluck and it disappeared! Next time I might try doubling the sausage. Great recipe, thanks for posting!
This was very good, although my family wanted more sausage! They are major meat-eaters however. A very enjoyable meal!
Made this today for a church social and it was a success. Had to make a few modifications in my dish though. I used penne pasta instead of zita and I didn't have any tomato sauce so I used a 28 oz can of spaghetti sauce instead. Everyone enjoyed it and there were NO left overs. Will have to make this again for the family at home.
Hi Barb! Thank you for such an easy, but delicious casserole. My dh was RAVING over it. It was just what the doctor ordered after a very hectic couple of weeks. I did take other reviewers advice and doubled the kielbasa. However, for those of you who double, this makes 2 large trays of casserole. (Leftovers ~ YAY!). Thanks again for a lovely dish Barb!
Yum! This was really great for a throw-together after work type of meal... very quick and easy. I made a few substitutions for what I had on hand. I used one jar of spaghetti sauce in place of the 3 8oz cans of tomato sauce, and I used a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes in place of the stewed tomatoes. Even with these changes, this was delicious. I served it with a ceasar salad, garlic bread, and of course, Red Wine!!! Thanks for a great recipe Barb!

I was wondering as to whether IO streams are really portable(I think they should be but want be sure) ? especially when handling files used in both unix and windows.
Specifically if I dump a double value into a file in windows and then read the same value on unix from the file using iostreams, will it not cause problems because of variation in the endianness of the two operating systems ?
what about formatted io ? I read somewhere, not sure where, that when it comes to manipulating formatted data, there is some difference in the way windows and unix handle the same. Can anyone please throw some light on this issue ?

Biman Bangladesh Airlines
Flight BG 012, June 4th 2003, 4:50pm
Brussels National Airport - Dhaka Zia International Airport
McDonnell Douglas DC10-30, S2-ACR "The New Era"
Maslin Executive Class - Seat 2A
I got up quite early in the morning to get the last things together for my third trip to Asia. The Brussels website showed my flight to arrive on time - something quite unusual for Biman, but one should never give up hope. The departure time of my flight had been changed several times within the last days and I really hoped that everything would be fine now. I had a THALYS ticket from Aachen to Brussels-Midi, so my dad drove me to the station where I boarded the red train. The first class was quite full on this Wednesday morning. I enjoyed the free breakfast which was included in the ticket price - not bad at all, with coffee, croissant and yoghurt...what a nice start .
At Brussels-Midi, I put my heavy Samsonite into a locker and decided to take a walk through the city as I still had a lot of time. But as the weather was terribly hot that day, I only spent about an hour outside. Back at the station, I bought a ticket to the airport and about half an hour later I entered the terminal building of Zaventem. To my surprise, the Brussels airport is quite a nice building - not overcrowded, although the terminal isn´t that spacious. I checked the counters first, but soon realized that I arrived too early. So I had a nice slice of pizza at the Pizza Hut before taking a walk through the departure hall. The monitors showed my flight to be still on time...puuh .
About two and a half hours before the announced departure time, two check-in counters were opened, one for Economy-Class and one for Biman´s Maslin Executive Class. There had been no queue at both counters, so the friendly lady quickly took my documents and checked me in. At Brussels, Biman is handled by Aviapartner, so no Biman staff was around. I got my boarding pass with seat 2A. Unfortunately, Biman has no lounge at Brussels, so I had to spend the remaining time within the terminal. I visited some of the small shops and had a look inside the different prayer rooms. Not many people were flying on that wednesday, so the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
Security checks passed quickly and I went down the B-concourse towards the announced gate B37, where a lot of people were already waiting for the boarding process. The aircraft was Biman´s "The New Era", the biggest plane at Brussels that day. I felt excited as this should be my first flight on a DC10-30, an aircraft I love to see. Boarding was announced to start at 4:20pm, but nothing happened. When I looked around, I realized that almost all of the people were bangladeshi coming from New York JFK who had been at the transit area for a couple of hours and now hoped to get back to their seats as soon as possible. Later on, I heard that only 5 or 6 passengers boarded at Brussels. At about 5:00pm, boarding was announced and we finally got onboard that old lady.
A friendly young stewardess in her beautiful traditional uniform greeted me at the door and guided me to my seat. The cabin inside looked old with that typical Biman flower design from the late 70´s. It seemed that I had been the only passengers who boarded the Business Class at Brussels. The cabin was almost full, only 8 or 9 seats remained empty. I like the layout of 2x2x2, so no poor guy has to take a middle seat. A safety video was shown in bengali and english language, followed by a prayer.
We had a delay of another 50 minutes, maybe because we lost our assigned slot. The cabin crew served juice as pre-departure drink - I took a mango juice which was very tasty. We finally took of at 6pm and the loud engines lifted us up into the belgian sky.
My seat 2A was in an acceptable condition. The old business class seats do not fully recline and they don´t have a footrest installed, which is a major disadvantage compared to todays standards, but Biman offers a simple hard cushion on the floor which does its job as well. There was enough legroom and my seat was also wide enough, so nothing to complain about. I had some problems to sleep on those seats, but I always have sleepless nights on aircrafts, so Biman....it is not your fault .
While we were slowly reaching our cruising altitude, the friendly female chief purser handed me a nice blue amenity kit (a red one for women) and a headphone. The inflight entertainment was one of the worst I have ever experienced, but maybe that´s just because I was sitting in an aircraft which had been older than I am. The sound quality was disgusting - whenever I plugged the headphone in, I could listen to some unspectacular music channels combined with an unidentified cracking (it almost sounded like they transferred the engine noise directly into the entertainment system). The same problem occurred as the captain tried to welcome everybody on board...you could hardly understand a word. The video program was also very boring. Biman only presented some bengali comedy and music shows, so I didn´t really pay attention to that. When I asked a stewardess for a menu, she came back with the chief purser who explained that they didn´t have a menu because of major schedule changes due to runway constructions at Zia International Airport. Instead, the crew came around with a list and asked everybody what he or she liked for dinner. Biman offered three different choices, I decided to take Chicken Badami with rice and vegetables, mixed salad, bread and butter. For dessert, they served some chocolate cream puffs. My drinks consisted of champagne and coke, afterwards I also took a cup of coffee. The meal itself was a very good choice, maybe not a full business class product compared to other airlines, but still better than some average economy class meals I had on several intercontinal flights.
During the flight, I had a nice conversation with a young bangladeshi guy sitting next to me, whose father was a Biman flight engineer onboard. He came by several times and sat down in the back until it was his turn to take place in the cockpit as third man. What I liked most about this flight was the extremely friendly crew, especially chief purser Ameen, who really cared about her guests onboard. If you pushed the call button, the crew reacted immediately. No rude behavior at all, maybe that only happens in Economy class ?!
About 2 hours before touchdown at Dhaka, the crew served a light meal which consisted of chicken filet with noodles and vegetables, bread and chocolate pudding. Compared to dinner, this was more a standard meal and nothing special at all, but still acceptable.
The flight itself was quiet, most of the passengers were sleeping after the long first leg from New York to Brussels which they had to endure.
30 minutes before landing at Zia - near the city of Chittagong - we experienced some heavy turbulence. I hoped that "The New Era" was still strong enough to lead us through that thunderstorm without any problems. Some minutes later, the sky was calm again and the old lady touched down at Dhaka Zia International Airport right on time.
The airport itself is a shabby concrete building with no charme at all. As my continuing flight to Bangkok was scheduled the next day, I had been given a hotel room by Biman. After a 30 minute wait at the transfer desk, we were told to follow some guy outside. At Brussels, the staff told me that my luggage would be directly checked through to Bangkok, so I packed some clothes into my cabin bag. Somehow I had a strange feeling about that and so I went to the baggage claim area where I already saw my bag on the belt. I picked it up angrily and followed the Biman ground staff to a little bus, which was parked in front of the airport. Outside, hundreds of people were staring at us (us=mostly european transit passengers) - a real strange situation. We were given a room at the "Blue Bell Hotel", a 0-star hotel next to a nice construction area. The room itself was shabby with cockroaches on the floor....very business-class like . But that´s a different story, maybe too long to write about here (but you can ask me if you like horror stories). One good thing is that a guy from Denmark and I managed to organize a city tour by taxi although both of us didn´t have a visa which was necessary to enter Bangladesh. You feel like a pop-star when you move around in Dhaka. There´s always a crowd of maybe 20 people who are just staring at you. They are not unfriendly, let´s call it "indifferent". An experience I won´t forget. A lot of different people were put together in the "Blue Bell Hotel", and all of them waited for their onward flights the next day...
Oh and I forgot to mention a funny thing that happened to the Biman shuttle bus: It rained a lot in Dhaka and the street was a real mess. After the bus had unloaded some more unlucky guys at the hotel, the driver tried to make a turn on the street but instead, he got stuck in a muddy hole so that the bus nearly fell on its side .
Biman Bangladesh Airlines
Flight BG 073 , June 5th 2003, 9:00am
Dhaka Zia International Airport - Bangkok Don Muang Airport
Airbus A310-325
After a horrible night in the oasis of luxury and a quick coffee, we boarded the bus for Zia International. I´ve never seen an airport that close to a city centre before. Outside the terminal building there were those crowds of people staring at us again. When the bus stopped, some security guys pushed the crowd aside so that we could enter the airport - very rude behaviour if you ask me.
We went to the Biman transit desk, where a lot of people were already waiting for their boarding passes and their passports, which had been taken by the ground staff on arrival. Most of the passengers were booked on the 9am flight to BKK. We waited for more than 2 hours at the transit desk...nothing happened at all. Neither our passports were given out, nor the required boarding passes - simply no information was given at all. I was getting a bit nervous as I had a connecting flight from BKK to NRT on Air India in the late afternoon. To make a long story short - finally we were informed that Biman changed its aircraft from Airbus A310 to Boeing 737 and as a result, the machine had been totally overbooked. Well done, Biman ! Now what happened to all those stranded passengers as BG 073 was the only flight to BKK that day ?!
Another hour passed and everybody tried to get in contact with somebody of the ground staff. A group of annoyed passengers even entered the general managers office and shouted at him. We were moved to a different counter where we should present our ticket. I can tell you, I had been a lucky guy as I was the only passenger who was rebooked onto Thai Airways flight TG 322 to BKK, which was scheduled for 1:10pm - the last chance to get to Bangkok. The general manager had to sign my ticket and some minutes later, I queued at the Thai check-in counter. Biman told me, that the C-class on this flight was full, so I had to take an Economy seat. Ok, that was better than being transferred to this hotel again, so I accepted. Later on, I realized that this was a lie as the Business-class was almost empty.
So I said goodbye to all those poor souls left behind at Dhaka, visited the simple Maslin lounge for a quick drink and boarded the TG Airbus A330-300. A nice and quiet flight with no hassle at all, that was all I wanted.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines
Flight BG 079, June 20th 2003, 4:00pm
Bankok Don Muang Airport - Dhaka Zia International Airport
Airbus A310-325, S2-ADF
Maslin Executive Class - Seat 1G
After some nice days in Tokyo, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, it was time to go home. The Malaysia Airlines morning flight from KUL arrived on time, so I had some hours to spend at the airport. The Biman check-in counters opened two hours before the scheduled departure time. Again, I seemed to be the only passenger checking in at the C-class counter. To my surprise, the young lady gave me a hand-written boarding pass, exclusively for Maslin Executive Class. Biman has a small lounge at BKK, so I sat down a took a tonic water from the bar. This lounge was much nicer than the one in Dhaka and you had a good view out on the tarmac. Suddenly, the captain of my flight entered the lounge and we had a little conversation about Biman and flying in general. I asked him if it will be possible to enter the cockpit later on and he agreed. Wow...great !
Boarding was announced and I entered the Business-Class cabin, which was almost empty. Only one female passenger coming from NRT and another Biman captain (he had been at the lounge together with his daughter who departed for Australia that day) joined me. This time, we were given welcome drinks together with the menu. On this 2h20 flight, you had the choice between:
Chicken Cutlet
served with Chateau Potatoes & Vegetables
Lamb Chop
served with Parsely Potatoes & Mixed Vegetables
Bread Varieties - Butter
Fruit Savarin
Tea / Coffee
I decided to take the Lamb Chop - a good choice, although the meat had a strong taste. The canapés were excellent and the dessert was edible, too.
Unfortunately, the PTV´s onboard were not working, but I didn´t care as I supposed to be forced to watch some bengali comedy shows again. Instead I read the inflight magazin "Diganto" which was not too bad.
One hour had passed when a steward came to my seat and invited me into the cockpit. I was offered a coke and captain Badrul Alam informed me about the aircraft and our route. Wow, what a nice act - thanks again to the whole crew. I took some pictures before I went back to my seat.
We touched down at Zia International at 6:30pm where I went upstairs to the Maslin Lounge - not a nice place at all, but better than being forced to sit on those shabby plastic chairs inside the terminal. A waiter served drinks and some snacks were available. The lounge was surprisingly full that evening - one family waited for their delayed flight to KTM. The Duty-Free shop at DAC was a joke as they didn´t accept credit cards, so I hadn´t been able to buy anything.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines
Flight BG 011, June 20th 2003, 11:45pm
Dhaka Zia International Airport - Brussels National Airport (via Dubai International Airport)
McDonnell Douglas DC10-30, S2-ACR "The New Era"
Maslin Executive Class - Seat 1D
Security checks at DAC passed quickly, but I had the impression that they weren´t taken seriously enough. DAC - a terrorists paradise ?
At the announced gate, a lot of people were already waiting. The boarding process finally started and I entered the "The New Era" again. This time, I had a seat in the first middle row, so I could stretch out my legs. The Maslin Class was almost fully booked, of course most of the passengers were on their long way to New York and not to Brussels. The flight itself was quiet and relaxing, although the Biman staff had some problems with the meals again. A stewardess handed me my amenity kit and a mango juice, which was tasty as always. On the Dhaka-Dubai sector, it was dinner time:
Hors D´Oeuvres
Chicken Badami
served with Raisin Pulao and Mixed Vegetable Curry
Pillard of Veal
Prawn Provencal
served with Lyonaise Potatoes and Glazed Vegetables
Bread Varieties - Butter
Fresh Fruits
Tea / Coffee
I took the Chicken Badami and Biman didn´t disappoint me again. But they disappointed a lot of my fellow passenges who wanted to take a different meal. Biman had almost 30 Chicken meals onboard, but only 2 or 3 other ones. A bangladeshi journalist who was sitting next to me really felt ashamed for his country and its airline and he put the blame on the poor chief purser and his young stewardess, who tried to explain the mess, but couldn´t find the right words. My god, I didn´t care that much. Of course that shouldn´t have happened, but I was satisfied with my meal. After a few glasses of champagne, I reclined my seat and relaxed.
We had a short stop at DXB where we could enter the airport for 45 minutes, so I used the time to walk through those impressive Duty Free shops. Time passed quickly and we entered the aircraft for the next leg (6h55) to BRU.
Biman showed boring TV shows again, some of them were exactly the same as on the inbound trip.
After a refreshment with hot towels, breakfast was served:
Fruit Cocktail
Spicy Omelette
served with Beef Sausage & Grilled Tomato
Poached Egg Florentine
served with Fish Croquette & Sauted Tomato
served with Vegetable Bhajee Chick Pea & Tomato Massala
Bread Varieties
Butter and Preserves
Fresh Fruits
Tea / Coffee
This time, everbody got the choice he ordered, so I could enjoy my omelette without being interrupted. The breakfast was quite ok, nothing special.
We touched down at BRU right on time and I said goodbye to an airline which both impressed me and made me angry at the same time. But I would definetely fly Biman again, maybe next time without a stop at the "Blue Hell" .
And please don´t believe those horror stories, they are not true, even if Biman is not perfect. It always surprises me that a poor country like Bangladesh manages such a big airline.
Your comments and questions are welcome !

In Java, it is possible to create package-private interfaces. Looking at them with javap, you see that they lack the "public" visibility.
In Scala, you can declare a trait as private[package] or protected[package], but looking at in with javap, it is still public.
So how do you create a package-private trait in Scala?
While the Scala compiler respects the visibility, my problem is that my API will probably be accessed from Java too, and I don't want to expose my internal implementation to Java.

Product Description
Product Description
With its stunning titanium-colored finish and chrome highlights, the sleek and slender design of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone dresses it for any occasion (see larger image). Check out the Curve 8900 101 video demo.
Unlocked Phone
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) as well as EDGE data connectivity. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.
Staying Connected
With BlackBerry's push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF.
Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime.
For corporate users, the Curve delivers all the enterprise email and messaging capabilities you've come to expect. It's supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.
The Curve 8900 includes Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, GPS navigation capabilities, MicroSD expansion to 16 GB, and more.
Capture high-resolution photos and videos with the 3.2-megapixel camera on the back.
With a refined design, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone supports both your professional and personal mobile communication needs to help you enjoy a more organized, balanced life. In addition to a sleek, stylish design, the powerful new smartphone includes a large, vivid display--the highest resolution available on a BlackBerry smartphone--as well as a 512 MHz next-generation processor for fast and responsive performance.
The striking 2.4-inch, 480 x 360-pixel display (65K colors) serves up crisp images, text and maps so information is easier to read, even when you're on the go. It also includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like other Curve models, the Curve 8900 includes a trackball navigation system located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it features an integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help maintain accuracy.
You can also capture video clips on the go, with two resolution choices--480 x 352 pixels for saving to your PC and 176 x 144 pixels for sending via MMS messaging. In addition to recording videos, the Curve 8900 also supports mobile video streaming as well as videos saved from your PC. It's compatible with DivX, XviD (MPEG4 Advance Simple Profile), H.263, and WMV3 formats.
Listen to your favorite music using an optional wireless headphone thanks to the Curve's support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with a wide variety of file formats (.3gp, WAV, MIDI, AMR-NB, G711u/A, GSM610, PCM, MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA9/10 Standard/Pro) and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset.
Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0 + EDR), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.
With the Voice-Activated Dialing (VAD) feature, you can initiate a call just by telling the Curve who to call from your contact list--either via the integrated speakerphone or using an optional Bluetooth wireless headset. Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.
The BlackBerry Browser on the Curve 8900 is designed to make on-the-go Internet browsing fast and fun--you can even start a search right from the home page. Navigate sites and zoom in on content using a trackball-controlled pointer, set bookmarks and view your history. Plus, the BlackBerry Browser works with a host of other applications to make things like online purchasing and tracking information on your favorite pages easier.
The easier a map is to read, the easier it is to follow. Together with BlackBerry Maps, the crisp, colorful screen of the Curve 8900 is designed to make it easier to find the location of businesses, restaurants, concert venues, parks and more by allowing you to check maps and get driving directions quickly and conveniently. When you're connected to the network, you can even launch maps from your address book. BlackBerry Maps is also designed to help make trips easier by providing route options like fastest or shortest and displaying directions visually along with text-based turn-by-turn instructions.
Whether your instant messaging (IM) account is with Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ or Windows Live Messenger, you can bring your IM community wherever life takes you. Like the desktop versions, these programs offer features like avatars and emoticons. And, because BlackBerry applications work together, you can also start an IM chat from your address book, call or email an IM contact while chatting or even check your calendar right from a chat.
- Easily synch with Microsoft Outlook: Stay in synch with your Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks in Microsoft Outlook
- Edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files: Just download attachments and start typing. You'll enjoy many of the same features you do on your computer--copy and paste, font size and color, even bullets and numbering and more.
- Remote Search: If you prefer not to carry all your email on your Curve 8900 smartphone, Remote Search can be used to find emails that are still stored on your BlackBerry Enterprise Server using name, subject and other options to narrow the field.
- BlackBerry Media Sync: Sync your desktop iTunes music files with your BlackBerry smartphone.
- Free/Busy Lookup: View your colleagues' calendars to see who's available at what time right from your BlackBerry smartphone.
- RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds support: With RSS, you don't need to check important websites for updates, new content can be pushed to you automatically.
- Send and receive text and picture messages (SMS and MMS)
- Bluetooth version 2.0 + EDR with the following profiles: A2DP (stereo music streaming), AVRC (remote control), HFP (hands-free car kits), HSP (communication headsets), DUN (dial-up networking), FTP (file transfer), PBA (transfer contacts)

I have used a blackberry for over 10 years now...give or take. I have always been impressed by the devices they have created in the past and the current line of devices. Since I like to be on the bleeding edge of tech, I just had to get a 8900.
Most of you know by now what the new feature sets are of blackberries that are out today. The bold, the storm, and now this one The JAVELIN.
I wont go into too much detail but I will give you my quick run down.
The Javelin is perhaps the thinnest, lightest, small footprint blackberry that I have ever used. It sports a great look and the feel to the hands is awesome. It is after all the curve II. Screen comparison to the bold is that this unit has a higher resolution then the bold but a smaller physical screen. The higher resolution definitely adds some clarity to the screen...but it should be duly noted that the BOLD's screen is also beautiful. Yes I own both.
The Javelin is a EDGE/Wi-FI device...it does not have 3G capabilities. Technically you only need 3G if you want to be on the phone and receive/send emails at the same time when using your mobile connections...I personally have never needed that functionality. However, please note that if you are connected to WI-FI you are able to be on a telephone call and receive/send email etc over wi-fi....works perfectly.
The Javelin has a new processor which makes the device FLY. Yes the processor is slower then the one in the Bold, but one can hardly tell the difference....I have used both for weeks...and I can honestly say you will not notice the speed difference.
I have a 8gb MicroSD card installed in the device and use the software available from blackberry to synchronize all of my DRM free music from iTunes to the Blackberry.Read more ›
For my big suprise, when I open the box and turn on the device I watch the operator logo of TELEFONICA MOVISTAR and the device is branded (printed) with operator logo TELFONICA MOVISTAR which appear between camera len and flash. Beyond that the accesories that come with the device (Home charger, USB data cable) are not original because there's not blackberry logo printed on. And more... some accesories are missing like carrying pouch and stereo headset.
How this is possible? Can you explain to me?
At this moment I'm really disappointed and angry at the same time.
So, everyone be careful about buying unlocked cell phones by amazon!!!
Cons: Battery life could be better, can be slow at times with multiple applications open, the Mac syncing software from Blackberry is finicky though it eventually works, no 3G network support :(
Summary: This phone is wonderful. My last two smartphones were Windows Mobile and this Blackberry completely blows them out of the water. The interface is wonderful and the OS is really reliable. I put battery life under cons, though it gets about forty hours with one charge on heavy text, email, internet, and phone usage, so this is really a minor complaint.
All in all I love this device. Compared to my girlfriend's previous gen Blackberry, this little gadget is a beauty and a top performer. Keyboard is about the same, but the 8900 wins in just about every other category: build, reception, screen, interface, camera.
Versus the Bold
I ultimately chose this over the Bold for a few reasons: keyboard, form factor, price tag, and screen. The Bold's edge over the Curve 8900 is its support for 3G, though I find browsing the internet on a phone painful so it had no impact on my decision. I prefer the smaller size of the Curve 8900 too, and it feels like it's built better than the Bold.
Versus the iPhone
I'm a Mac user, though I chose a Blackberry. Why? First of all, I already own an iPod Touch so I'm familiar with the interface of the iPhone and I can tell you how frustrating it is to type on the screen! I wanted the full physical keyboard interface, and with the growing Blackberry app store it is quickly gaining ground on the iPhones flexibility.Read more ›
Good Points:
1. Nice screen; very good resolution; and good readability. Good for viewing attached documents.
2. Nice industrial design and small form factor.
3. Wifi (but it seems much slower than the Iphone or an old T-Mobile Dash I have around the house).
4. Pretty good camera. There is considerable shutter lag; but the photos are fair. Note that I cannot seem to be figure out how to turn off the annoying shutter sound. I tend to use a camera phone for reminders of a product or article that interested me. The shutter may be required by law in some locations; but I don't think it's required where I live.
5. Audible works a bit better. I am an Audible fan. (I also download audio books from Net Library, but they require a protected WMA format, which the 8900 does not support). I finally can downloads audio books directly to the device. There are still glitches, such as updating the My Library list, but it improved from essentially "non-functional" to "somewhat usable".
6. UMA--T-Mobile's voip option, worked quite well. Voice quality was so so (probably device limited) but setup was simple and it seems to work at various wifi sites without use of minutes or special hardware. I am excited to try this in Japan and on other international trips.
7. 3.5 mm headphone jack, started with the original Curve. Quite good sound though my headphones.
Not So Good Points:
1. Mediocre voice quality. My 8800 had exceptional voice quality. It was better than my Cisco Voip phone at work.Read more ›

The following editorial appeared in the Akron Beacon Journal on Wednesday:
In the days and weeks between the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the bombing campaign in Afghanistan, a number of shrewd analysts advised that the Taliban would shatter quickly once the pressure of air power was applied. Their voices weren't easily heard amid the clatter of the impatient who concluded even two weeks ago that George W. Bush had wandered into a quagmire. Well, the Taliban have been routed -- in a month.
Kabul fell suddenly, and then other regions. By one estimate, the Taliban held a mere 25 percent of the country on Tuesday. Their defeat has a first purpose. The links between the Taliban and al-Qaeda, the terrorist network of Osama bin Laden, have become more plain. Al-Qaeda drove the Afghan regime. To defeat terrorism, the Taliban had to be destroyed.
The reports from Kunduz were revealing: foreign forces (virtual volunteers in the "holy war") killing their Taliban allies to prevent surrender. Donald Rumsfeld, the secretary of defense, suggested that American commandos would not have to venture from cave to cave in their hunt for bin Laden. The broken Taliban offers little cover. It may help that the bounty has risen to $25 million. The pounding shouldn't cease until an entrenched al-Qaeda has been wrecked.
Remember the warning of Ayman al-Zawahiri, a bin Laden lieutenant, who taunted Americans in that chilling video: "Your government left afraid from Lebanon and from Somalia and from Afghanistan. And today, your government is leading you to another lost battle where you will lose your sons and money"?
The joy on the faces of Afghans at the liberation of Kabul conveyed the very different turn. A crowd crashed a theater this week to see the first movie shown in public in six years.
What remains isn't simply the tracking down of bin Laden and the rest, but the repair of a country devastated by decades of war and the rule of the Taliban.
That effort took an important step forward with agreement from the Northern Alliance, the beneficiaries of American air strikes, that it would surrender exclusive power in the capital to a transitional government that will be "broad-based, multiethnic and fully representative" of the various political groups. The parties will soon meet in Germany.
Almost everyone agrees Afghanistan should have a loose-knit and decentralized government. Achieving the necessary stability (to prevent the return of an al-Qaeda) will be more challenging than conducting the war.
The Pashtuns, the largest ethnic group, make their claim to power based on a 250-year tradition of playing a predominant role in the government. Pakistan joined the allied cause against terrorism, in part, because of assurances the Northern Alliance (which ruled disastrously in the early 1990s) wouldn't return to power. It wants the Alliance replaced in Kabul with a multinational security force.
The Alliance has balked. It blocked the deployment of thousands of British and French troops. An accommodation is essential. Liberators though the Alliance forces are, they have also proved to be brutal in the past. The international community cannot afford the risk of an Afghanistan riven still by violent rivalries.
Colin Powell, the secretary of state, applauded the advances on the diplomatic front. It is encouraging to hear the Northern Alliance talk about a broad-based government. Those are words. Reality in war resides in troops on the ground. American air power made the way for the alliance. The international community must make way for an orderly Afghanistan.

You can't turn on a screen in 2016 without seeing an example of branded content or native advertising flit across your eyes.
