I enjoyed my stay at the Gran. I found the service (especially in the restaurant) to be excellent. Daily live music, wonderful breakfast buffet overlooking the city, and a fabulous cafe Americano were highlights. My room was not fancy or newly decorated, but it was clean and well-kept.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- In the absence of a major first-class hotel in the country, the Constitutional Congress of the Republic of Costa Rica enacted the law number 34 on November 22, 1928, which was actually a contract subscribed on October 3, 1928, by and between the first owner of the hotel, Dr. Luis Paulino Jimenez Ortiz, and Cleto Gonzalez Viquez, President of the Republic. It granted a series of fiscal benefits to the contractor, in exchange for the construction of the hotel. There was also a provision according to which the Government was granted for twenty years the right to have at their disposal for free two apartments at the hotel for lodging foreign diplomatic representatives of extraordinary nature. Grand Hotel Costa Rica is today operated by the Elite Hotels and Resorts Costa Rica hotel chain. It is the only hotel in Costa Rica that was declared a historical and architectural monument by the government of Costa Rica. Located in the heart of the San Jose between national monuments, squares, museums and pedestrian streets, the Gran Hotel Costa Rica is just a few steps away from the cultural landmarks and entertainment venues. ... more less

The fridge is wonderful for space. I have always had LG phones, and have the front loader washer and dryer. All these things were great. Dishwasher, not so much. Replaced only after 5 years. If the fridge works out as well as the good things from LG, I will be very pleased. The space is great. I wish they had not cheapened the interior, from the 36 inch model. The sliding shelf space would have been nice, if it were there. Unfortunately I could not fit the larger size. The temperature swing of the fridge is rather large. From 33 to 43, using a thermometer with memory for high and low temperatures. This is a bit more than I expected, but it seems to hold the temperature of the food OK. I want to try another probe I have in a glass of water, to see what the range is of liquids. The former is air temperature only. The exterior is stainless, and is not bad for finger prints. This is the first time we have an ice maker, and love it. That actually is the only time you can really hear the refrigerator. It really is whisper quiet. I like the temperature setting being digital, but it would be nicer, if it had a read out of the actual temperatures, or show it in a alternating display. So far, we love it. When it is 10 or 15 years old and we still love it, then I will be thrilled. Proof is in the time. I am checking quality below. I hope this does not prove me wrong.

This fridge is ok, but has a design flaw with the french doors. There are 'cams' at the top of each door that are supposed to hold the door closed when the other door is closed. Both of these 'cams and seals' broke at almost the same time and if you do not consciously push both doors closed, then at least one door will remain open and everything inside will get warm and spoil if not caught in time. Very poor design, which was updated in newer models. I called LG and they do not want to know anything about the flaw and advised me to contact the authorized parts distributor to buy the parts. Replacement parts are $50.00 plus shipping and installation. Not an easy job, so I have to call an installer to put them in. Also, for the price, it did NOT come with an ice maker. Not sure if I even want this fridge in my garage as a second unit. Needless to say I am very disappointed with the LG product. I have LG phones and TV's and should have left it at that... Anyone want to buy an expensive flawed fridge?

Love my fridge!
By Harksgirl
from Illinois, USA
We bought this to replace a much smaller fridge. The one we had was so loud that when it ran you had to turn the TV up so you could hear it. The LG is very quite, roomy and has great light inside.
Good features and solidly built.
By Rebster42
from Juneau, AK, USA
We bought this model to replace our old 33" side-by-side frig/freezer as part of a kitchen renovation. So far we love it, mainly because it is so quiet, roomy and good to look at. The 10 year compressor warranty is also a confidence builder that the repair people won't be needed anytime soon. The controllable open door alarm is also a neat feature. We did worry about how long (several days) it took for the ice tray to fill initially but haven't found this to be a problem since. Also, we have to open both door to access the wide cold cuts, etc. drawer and wonder if having two narrower drawers wouldn't have been a smarter design. But this is really no problem either and it's nice to have the wide drawer for that occasional loaded serving platter before a party. All in all, we're very pleased with this model.
This is a right choice baby
By Good Guy
from Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ, USA
This refrigerator is excellent. The only thing is that its more expensive then 36inch width similar refrigerators. Old houses do not have space which fits 36 inch width refrigerators. So I bought this 32.75 inch width refrigerator but it was expensive than others.
Great styling and ease of use.
By Walleye Gary
from Madison, WI
We bought this stainless steel refrigerator to replace our old bottom freezer refrigerator that was difficult to get at freezer items since it had slide out bins in liner tracks. The bins often bound up in the tracks when the bins were full and it was difficult to search for items. The pull out drawer freezer on this model operates smoothly even when full and it is easy to see everything in the freezer. The ultra large freezer and refrigerator capacity in this 33" wide model is great, and it is whisper quiet when the compressor is running! We love the new refrigerator, and highly recommend it.

About Me Casual Cook
we use it everyday and are very happy with it is the 2nd one we have but in steel. flexible design great looking and easy to use. The problem is that sometimes the seal flap on the left door will go out of alignment and hit right door when closing. It is a wonderful appliance that does what is supposed to. Reliable.
Pantry shelf is a must.
By Fantasia
from Uniontown, PA 15401, USA
Exterior finish is very easy to keep clean. The interior design allows for great storage on the doors as well as the adjustable shelves. Pantry shelf is a much needed addition for our family. Freezer has a great capacity for storage. Very easy to open and find what you need at a glance. LED lighting is bright and adds a touch of class.

Britain's CO2 emissions are increasing, contrary to government claims, according to two new reports.
They show that instead of falling since the 1990s, as ministers claim, Britain's greenhouse gas emissions have been growing in line with the economy. The Government does not count emissions from shipping, aviation or imported goods in its internationally-agreed system for carbon accounts.
But two reports from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), based at the University of York, say that if these key drivers of emissions are counted, Britain's carbon emissions are rising.
An SEI report to be published soon by the campaign group WWF will suggest that the UK's total greenhouse gas emissions are 49 per cent higher than reported. And a recent report by the SEI for the government department Defra showed that rather than going down by 5 per cent, as ministers claimed, CO2 emissions have gone up 18 per cent between 1992 and 2004 when all emissions are counted.
The Government received the Defra-SEI report in February, but chose to test its calculations before publishing it in an obscure press release on 2 July, in the run-up to the parliamentary summer recess.
The Environment minister Phil Woolas said: "I think it's very misleading to say these figures challenge our [the Government's] figures; they are a different calculation altogether."
But Stuart Bond, WWF's head of research, said: "This shows our claims on emissions are simply a big lie."

Rethinking Insecurity, War and Violence by Damian Grenfell
Book DescriptionRethinking Insecurity, War and Violence: Beyond Savage Globalization? is a collection of essays by scholars intent on rethinking the mainstream security paradigms. Overall, this collection is intended to provide a broad and systematic analysis of the long-term sources of political, military and cultural insecurity from the local to the global. The book provides a stronger basis for understanding the causes of conflict and violence in the world today, one that adds a different dimension to the dominant focus on finding proximate causes and making quick responses Too often the arenas of violence have been represented as if they have been triggered by reassertions of traditional and tribal forms of identity, primordial and irrational assertions of politics. Such ideas about the sources of insecurity have become entrenched in a wide variety of media sources, and have framed both government policies and academic arguments. Rather than treating the sources of insecurity as a retreat from modernity, this book complicates the patterns of global insecurity to a degree that takes the debates simply beyond assumptions that we are witnessing a savage return to a bloody and tribalized world. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of international relations, security studies, gender studies and globalization studies.

Proximity sensors like Bluetooth and NFC can enable a door to unlock whenever an authorized user's smartphone approaches. Users can also remotely lock and unlock the door, or share access with any number of others, using mobile apps. Physical keypads provide a backup with many locks, but are no longer the main way to let yourself in.
The following Channel Guide will help you:
- Determine which connectivity type you need? (WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, or Cellular)
- Get app reviews, and see if the lock can integrate with your smart home hub and other connected devices.

Huskies Win Season Opener
The St. Cloud State baseball team started their season off on the right foot Sunday with a 10-5 victory over Arkansas Tech in Russellville, Arkansas.

Arkansas Tech stormed back for three runs in the bottom of the frame but SCSU would claw their way back and re-take the lead in the fifth on a Joey Benke RBI triple.
Division Two Preseason Player of the Year Jordan Smith went 2-for-4 from the plate for the Huskies and Benke went 1-for-1 with a triple and four walks. Kyle Fischer was the pitcher of record for St. Cloud, going five innings in relief of starter Logan Birr.
SCSU will finish off their three-game set with Arkansas Tech with a doubleheader today. Follow KVSC Sports on twitter for final scores from today's games at twitter.com/kvscsports.

Am getting the engine light about once a week (I reset it - it will stay off a while then come back on). It always reports P0401 Low EGR flow. This is the Japam made camry for those that know the differences.
I replaced the EGR valve and gaskets - verified the ports were not clogged (used pipe cleaners and ran them through until they were sticking inside the manifold). I replaced the diaphram filter thing next to the EGR with the hoses interconnecting between them - all hoses are clear and I used only real Toyota parts.
I checked the VSV valve and I think it's acting abnormally. After warming up the engine - I can quickly increase rpms to 3000 and I notice the EGR valve opens for just a split second and then closes - even if I hold the RPMS. It does this repeatedly. I found that the VSV valve is causing it - opening the air flow just for a second, then blocking it again. So - there's no situation when the EGR valve stays open - even at 3000 rpms. Maybe this is normal for this car, but maybe it's not - any ideas? I bought the vsv valve too when I got the other parts but I hadn't put it in yet because it was so hard to get to. Any suggestions on how to get to that valve are welcome too. I did the vacuum drop test recommended by an earlier post (connected a vacuum guage to the manifold - was reading pretty high - around 24, then I manually opened the EGR valve with the engine holding at 3000 rpms, The vacuum did drop 3 on the gauge.)
One note: I got a MIL error saying the front O2 sensor heater had failed before I had the problem with the EGR error. I replaced that O2 sensor (also with geniune Toyota part) and it wasn't a week later I got the first EGR P0401 error. Could be bad luck - but if I got a flakey 02 sensor - how would I know? Does anyone know how to test one using a multimeter and what readings I should look for?
Please advise on the EGR VSV valve suspect problem (is it working normally but turning off right after turning on?
Please advise on best way to get at the VSV valve to change it. (can't seem to reach it front the top or bottom.
Please advise on how to test the O2 sensor when I have only a multimeter. I have an electronics background - I just don't have a Toyota tester.
Thank you all very much for any advise - this has been a frustrating problem. I will do what it takes to fix it but I don't want to keep buying parts that don't solve the problem. The car is a 4 cylinder automatic and has 70k miles on it.
Respectfully, Dennis
P0401 - have followed posted help - still have problem. on 1999 Toyota Camry
Am getting the engine light about once a week (I reset it - it will stay off a while then come back on). It always reports P0401 Low EGR flow. This is the Japam made camry for those that know the differences.
Since you did not say that you have a 6 or a 4 cyl, if it is a V6, some of those have an EGR temp sensor. If so, be sure to test that. A DVOM and a good vacuum gauge and some patience is all you need to test this system.
As for the EGR P0401 coming on after the new O2 was installed, the Monitors run in a sequence, so if you have an O2 code, the engine computer ignores the EGR system.
see the series of Monitor articles I wrote, because this too stumps People and Techs.
Is the egr solenoid the same as vacuum switching valve? Where does the egr solenoid located?
I did a test today - bypassed the VSV with a section of vacuum hose and started the engine - the EGR did work normally and when I held the throttle at 2500rpms, the EGR stayed open tapering closed as I slowed back down the RPMs. I put the VSV back in line - the EGR opened quickly, then closed again and stayed closed. It acts like the little relay in the VSV starts to open up but then the circuit itself inside the VSV opens and that closes the VSV. So to me, that bypass test narrows the problem to the VSV or it's supporting circuit.
One question wasn't addressed - am hoping for advice on how best to change the VSV valve. It seems to be in an impossible to reach location on the back on the engine below the manifold. When I crawled under the car, it seemed to be above the motor mount and I couldn't see it or get my hand in there to feel it either.
Thanks you Dan and Pat for answering - I hoped one or both of you would weigh in on this one. Now - can you tell me how best to get that VSV valve replaced.
Thanks again - very much!

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this indie romcom probably won't have much appeal for kids, even many teens. A note of melancholy runs through it, and its themes -- romantic and professional boredom -- are fairly mature, though the film does have interesting things to say about finding your bliss and creating a path for yourself. Swearing (including "f--k") is the main reason for the R rating; there's also a little bit of drinking, one character smokes (though he quits for love), and two people who barely know each other have an intimate interaction that later balloons into a relationship.

What's the story?
On paper, Sue (Jennifer Aniston) and Mike (Steve Zahn) have no business playing at love. She sells kitschy artwork to hotels and lives in Baltimore; he's the goofy, purposeless son helping his parents out at their small-town Arizona motel. But a layover plunks Sue onto Mike's turf, and though he borders on creepy, his insistent charm works on her. An unlikely long-distance relationship ensues, but when Sue moves to Seattle to be with her punk-rocker-turned-yogurt-mogul boyfriend (Woody Harrelson), Mike follows her, intent on convincing her that she is, in fact, his meant-to-be. But Sue's not so easy to persuade, and there are bigger considerations to take into account. ...
Is it any good?
There are winning oddball movies, and then there are ones that are just plain odd; MANAGEMENT is more of the latter. Its loopy plot and characters scream "sleeper indie hit," but it doesn't gel. The story -- how opposites attract, even repel, but find their way back to each other again ... with a little bit of stalking -- requires a coupling that we can root for, and this simply isn't it. Though Aniston and Zahn hit all the correct comedic beats, they don't have much romantic chemistry; they'd be better off playing siblings in another movie.
The bigger sin, thought, is that Management suffers from kooky-itis. It strains so hard to be offbeat that it becomes off-putting. Fine acting isn't enough to make a masterpiece out of this muddle.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about what the movie ultimately says about passion -- romantic or otherwise. Why is it important to be passionate about something? Does Sue and Mike's relationship seem believable? Why does it hit so many road bumps? Why does Sue figuratively push Mike away when she clearly likes him? How is the movie similar to and different from other romantic comedies?

Keep it brief
Your CV shouldn't take up more than two sides of A4 paper, and ideally should fit on to one. "Employers spend an average of eight seconds looking at each CV, so it needs to be concise and to the point," says Mike Fetters of totaljobs.com.
Be truthful
If you claim to have experience in a particular area, be prepared to back it up at interview with examples.
Include specifics on the CV, too: if you put "web design" as a skill, make sure you include links to examples of your sites – and make sure they're running smoothly.
One size doesn't fit all
Your CV should be tailored to each job you apply for, making it clear why your skills and experience – academic, professional and personal – fit the job spec and make you the person to solve the HR department's hiring problem.
Create a 3D CV
Show the whole person, not just grades and employment histories. What skills did you pick up from uni societies? How did participating in sport help you develop?
"If you can show that you surmounted problems, you'll get job interviews," says Mike Hill of Graduate Prospects.
Watch it like a hawk
When you're sending out multiple applications and versions of CVs, it's easy for mistakes to creep in. Check spelling and formatting every time, twice, making sure you're sending the right CV for the right job. Getting fundamentals like these wrong is the fastest way to the "discard" pile.Reuse content

Nebraska Hunting Photos & Stories
Every hunter likes to share stories about their experiences afield and many hunters like to hear these stories. The Photos & Stories section of BigGameHunt.net (BGH) allows hunters to share their hunting adventures in the form of stories and photos. Please feel free to browse, read, and contribute to this section of BGH.
Sam's First Whitetail Deer
It was the last hour, of the last day, of our first hunting trip to Nebraska. It was so cold, it was hard not to shiver if you weren't moving. We had been crouched behind a thick cedar for about 10 minutes and the cold was really starting to sink in. We'd heard a couple of shots from our hunting partners over the ridge and knew the deer would be coming right through the draw we were hunkered down in. The anticipation was killing my 11 year old son.
Turkey Time!
Marty Sup
I have been a big game hunter since I was 12 years old and then about 10 years ago I got introduced into waterfowl hunting and while that was a lot of fun and really passed the slow months in the winter after elk season was over. Nothing has come close to elk hunting except for when I went turkey hunting for the first time 5 years ago. When I went turkey hunting for the first time I was a bit overwhelmed at how hard the animal is to hunt.
Nebraska Hybrid Turkey Hunt (Rio Grande / Merriams)
We did a Spring Turkey Hunt with Hunt Nebraska Inc. in the area surrounding Arapahoe, Nebraska last Spring and had an excellent experience after a horrible flight in a storm from Denver to McCook. (We won't get political, but it was Senator Ben Nelson airport after he pulled off the Cornhusker Kickback so a little upchuck may have been appropriate).
Korean Pheasant Hunt
Elisse & Dan Clark
My husband and I hunted pheasant recently (March 2008) on Jeju Island, in Korea! Dan is US Army Retired, and had told me how he had hunted there when he was stationed in Korea many years ago... back when Jeju (or Cheju as it is sometimes spelled) was basically wilderness... Jeju Island is now a vacation paradise of 5-star resorts, but there is still hunting (even for foreign tourists!) at the Daeyoo Land Hunting Preserve! I was planning our very belated "Honeymoon" in Asia, and I was determined to finally get to go hunting with my husband!
The Old Man and the Hound
Norm 'Leep' Leeper Jr.
Jack drove his old jeep down the dirt road carefully. Since no one lived along this road anymore but old Tom, the highway department seldom serviced it. He guessed it didn't really matter much as old Tom didn't drive much anymore. Perhaps once a month when his retirement check came in. Then he would come into town driving that old rickety truck and cash his check, buy some groceries and collect his mail.

A Queer Sort of Materialism: Recontextualizing American Theater (Triangulations: Lesbian/Gay/Queer Theater/Drama/Performance)By: David Savran (author)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionIn engaging, accessible prose, leading theater critic and cultural commentator David Savran explores the intersections between art and culture, offering smart, compelling interpretations of the economic and social contexts of theatrical texts and practices. Acknowledging theater's marginal status in U.S. culture, A Queer Sort of Materialism takes on "the trouble-makers--the ghost, closeted homosexual, masochist, drag king, Third World laborer, even the white male as victim"--who figure more prominently in theater than in other cultural forms. In impeccably researched and argued essays that range in subject matter from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Paula Vogel, from Suddenly Last Summer to Iron John, Savran uncovers the ways that such troublemakers both challenge and reinforce orthodox social practices.The selections presented here are by turns entertaining, informative, sophisticated, and polemical, reflecting the author's dual citizenship as rigorous scholar and engaging theater critic. This book also provides a model for a kind of queer historical materialism that will prove useful to a wide range of disciplines, including theater and performance, gender and sexuality, queer/gay/lesbian/transgender studies, American studies, and popular culture.David Savran is Professor of Theater, the Graduate Center, the City University of New York, and author of Cowboys, Communists, and Queers and Taking It Like a Man.

Dr. Murphy is a well-established, well-funded and productive researcher who has productively utilized the K24 mechanism during the first funding period to leverage his participation in patient oriented research (POR) and to devote substantial additional time to training and mentoring. He has been successful in traditional mentoring of graduate students, fellows and junior faculty towards their own career in POR. More novel, but still fully within the scope of the K24 award's intent, he has instituted a dynamic new program in POR training for transfusion medicine MD's and PhD's in developing countries that will lead to a new generation of researchers devoted to improving the safety and availability of blood transfusion on a worldwide basis. Finally, there are still competing demands for time and funded salary between research and training activities and remaining commitments to administrative duties. Although medium-long term mentorship has been successful, the international program is still young and the applicant would like more time for several promising trainees from the short course to transition to medium to long term mentorship. An additional five years of funding is requested to enable the formation of a Center of Excellence in POR training in international transfusion safety: ? Continue and expand his program of high quality POR, with a research concentration on the health outcomes of transfusion transmitted viruses and genetic epidemiology. ? Continue and increase medium- and long-term mentorship under the umbrella of the UCSF CTSI, UC Berkeley School of Public Health and the new roadmap K12 Masters and Ph.D. programs at UCSF. ? Expand and obtain independent funding for international training activities, in collaboration with the UCSF Institute for Global Health, and NIH Fogarty International Center training grants ? Further strengthen his own research team, promoting the independence of junior faculty and a joint (UCSF and BSRI) recruitment of a genetic epidemiologist to aid the laboratory's expansion into this new area of research.
This research training grant will support the applicant in his efforts to perform patient oriented research, and to train younger physician scientists to do this kind of research. The proposal will train graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty in the USA and transfusion doctors in developing countries.

Wasn't there also a proposal at one point to make Mirimar a dual-purpose airport?
Also, someone should add some text discussing the fact that the landing approach to SAN is one of the most challenging because of the rather steep glideslope, built-up downtown, and relatively short runways.
Nsayer 22:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
There was a proposal in the early 1980s to have a joint use airport with Tijuana, Mexico. The proposed project was dubbed "Twin-Ports." There would have been an airport built along the border connected by taxiways to Tijuana's existing General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport. The proposal was given some serious consideration, however due to the problems with illegal human and drug trafficking through the border, the idea was scrapped. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trewells (talk • contribs) 12:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC-7)
The issue of replacing or relocating SAN will be debated until the end of time. The terrain and lack of land available makes this a moot point. Unlike cities that are located inland, it is impossible to go west because of the ocean, improbable to go south because of the mountains on approach (Brown Field in the South Bay was looked at), improbable to go east because of mountains and/or desert and improbable to go north due to lack of available land. SAN will forever be the airport for San Diego and it will always lack the ability to have regular intercontinental service because weight restrictions and noise restrictions. San Diego would be an ideal city for an alternative point for Asian service but it will never happen because of SAN's size. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trewells (talk • contribs) 13:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC-7)

Storage Area Network is 10**6 times more important[edit]
SAN technology is used in millions of offices and companies AROUND THE WORLD! The obscure aviators-only code of a second-tier US domestic airport does not hold a candle to it in importance. SAN should point to Storage Area network, because this is en.wikipedia.org, not us.wikipedia.org! 126.96.36.199 17:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- SAN is not an "obscure, aviators-only code" - frequent travelers around the world know and use three-letter IATA airport codes to refer to cities and airports. A Google search for SAN reveals that San Diego International Airport is the first search result. Primary topic disambiguation is clearly called for in this case. FCYTravis 23:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
The airport code SAN was used before a Storage Area Network was even thought of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:40, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Neutrality of "Relocation proposals" section[edit]
The "Relocation proposals" section of this article, in particular the first paragraph, seems rather biased towards making a pro-new airport argument. Sources for various claims such as capacity need to be cited, and I'm not sure how "To claim otherwise is absurd" can pass for non-neutral. Tagged for POV check. -- Hawaiian717 18:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. It was atrocious. I removed the worst of the opinionated language and authoritative predictions of the future. The section now needs references. I removed the POV tag and replaced with with an "unreferenced" tag. Hopefully you will agree this is a step in the right direction. I'll try to help with the references when I have more time. Johntex\talk 02:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- It looks much better, thanks. I'll also look and try to dig up some references. -- Hawaiian717 04:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Single runway airport[edit]
London Gatwick has 2 runways, according to London Gatwick Airport--Arado 09:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- The second is a standby runway, only in use if first is not available for use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooljuno411 (talk • contribs) 06:49, 18 July 2008
- Still one more than SAN.188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:35, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Virgin Atlantic Service[edit]
Are we absolutly sure that Virgin Atlantic Airways will start service to San Diego in 2008. All of their aircraft are long haul wide-body aircraft and the largest plane that I know of that can land and stop at SAN effectively is the Boeing 767. Other planes however can land, but must come in at the lowest manuverable speed. So all I'm saying is, would Virgin Atlantic be able to service this airport? And London Gatwick has a maintenence runway for backup if there is an accident on the main runway. 220.127.116.11 23:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- No. I've tagged both Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America as needing citations. As far as larger aircraft go, the problem I've usually heard is more of an issue of being able to take off with a sufficient payload to actually make money on a long haul flight. FedEx regularly uses the DC-10 into SAN, and British Airways used to use the 747-400 (flying to and from Phoenix) and the 777-200 (nonstop to and from London; initially Gatwick and later Heathrow) into SAN. -- Hawaiian717 00:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Virgin America Service is confirmed as starting 2/12/2008 - I think someone got this confused w/ Virgin Atlantic... a search of the internet returns NO confirmation or rumor of service to KSAN...

Top 30 Airport/2006 Records[edit]
San Diego made the 2006 list for the top 30 busiest airports in the United States, with a rank of 30. The ranking was determined by the amount of passengers that pass through the airport annually. San Diego International was ranked #1 on the list of the busiest uni-runway airports in the United States. --Press208 00:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Noise Curfew[edit]
The article claims that arrivals are allowed in the airport at all times. However, I was on a flight that was diverted to Ontario because a delay pushed the landing after 11:30 PM. Can we get claification on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:03, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- From [1]:
- Arrivals are permitted twenty-four hours a day, and emergency mercy, and some governmental operations are exempt from the curfew.
- It seems to me that when a SAN flight diverts to ONT or another airport it is because the airport has gotten fogged in and is blow the ILS minimums for runway 09. I was on a flight a few years ago that was delayed and landed at SAN around 2:30am. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 22:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Destination Maps[edit]
I don´t know how to edit these but CMH, PIT, and soon CLE have to be removed. More importantly, I think these maps can create confusion between non-stop and direct destinations. For example, MEX is a one-stop (SJD), direct, no-plane-change AM destination. It might lead some readers to believe that it is a non-stop destination due to the way it is shown here. I suggest that we either fix this error (but there may be others like it) or replace the map with one similar to the one on the O'Hare page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:01, 2 September 2008
- I have made the updates. Sox23 23:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Now, MKE needs to be removed since AirTran has ended service. Thanks. Deus Caritas Est (talk) 21:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Alternate Airport[edit]
I think the wording of this section needs to be changed because it sounds misleading. Tijuana's airport's existence does not depend solely on the lack of international flights from San Diego. Rather, it serves the more than one million people who live there and on the side, it handles many Southern Californians, most of whom are headed to Mexican destinations since the domestic (Mexican) flights offered from TIJ are cheaper and more convenient (non-stop, etc) than international ones departing from the US. Furthermore, I suggest shifting the information about flights to Tokyo and Shanghai to go after the Mexican destinations. Currently, it sounds as if its primary focus is intercontinental flights when in reality it is domestic (Mexican) flights. In fact, part of the reason why Tijuana has intercontinental flights is Mexico City's high altitude which diminishes the performance of aircraft, thus requiring a fuel stop-over on the way to Asia.Deus Caritas Est (talk) 23:36, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Why is Tijuana even listed under SAN? It is not an alternate airport to SAN. It's in another country and there is not any sign of a partnership between the organizations that operate the airports. Furthermore, no US carrier is goign to set up shop there creating a secondary market for San Diego. It could be refered to as a nearby commerical airport, but certainly not an alternate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:51, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Tijuana International Airport is listed as an alternate because it is right next door. Literally, the airport is right on the border. Easy access for Americans. There are even shuttle bus services running between the US and TIJ. Because of the close proximity to SAN, it can be more of an option for San Diegans than John Wayne Airport in Orange County. Also, information about flights to Narita was changed because this is no longer the case unfortunately, at least on Aeromexico like the article used to mention. Flights to Narita or Shanghai are primarily routed through either Mexico City or Los Angeles (LAX). --Uncle Bex (talk) 20:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
But its not an alternate airport because its in another country. You can't even divert a plane there from SAN. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 04:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Convair at SAN[edit]
Convair built passenger jets at Lindbergh Field in the 1950s and 1960s. Check Convair 880 and Convair 990. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 03:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Endangered species habitat[edit]
I think it should be noted that Lindbergh Field is the only airport that I know of that sets aside a portion of its infield as a seasonal nesting area for an endangered species called the California Least Tern. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 01:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Information blanking[edit]
I have recently reverted information removal by an IP user. The user did not provide an edit summary for the two edits that were made, and did not give a good reason why the information should be removed. If that IP user would like to discuss improving the article by removing said information I would like to provide this section for that discussion. Thank you. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 08:43, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Low IFR/fog and 9/27 operation[edit]
I've reverted runway usage quite a few times by people who keep quoting that one pilot-column writer in USA Today that SAN goes to east runway in fog. For the record, there is dense fog this morning and SAN is in 9/27 operation until the ceiling goes up to 700 feet or so. If there's any doubt, looking up flight tracks and ATC recordings (publicly available on the internet) for Monday morning, April 26, 2010 will be more reliable than one pilot. HkCaGu (talk) 13:41, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
I agree with the last edit. A lot of that information isn´t necesary though a half sentence sumary makes the paragraph stronger. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shabidoo (talk • contribs) 12:58, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
I've been in line on the runway with mediocre fog and had them start switching operations. It is actually pretty interesting when they have planes taking off towards and the east, and west, and landing from the east and west. venomgyz (talk) 07:49, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Cleaned up some changes that have taken place and published in the charts.[edit]
Also gave a better explaination of the reverse flow.
SAN is in east to west flow below 2 miles vis for 27. Some carriers will use 27 for departures due to weight penalties while everyone else uses 9 for arrivals and departures. This occurs about 6% fo the time at the airport (one day where the vis was marginal isn't very reliable either). Also cleaned up new approach info, and delcared distance info that was recently published in the charts Ruwnay 9 is now 1,121 feet shorter than runway 27 mathematically, but not physically. Under "Relocation" the sentence stated that the airport claimesd it would reach capacity in 2015-2022. That's not what the source says. What is says is that it will be constrained, meaning congested. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 04:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
ILS does not exist for runway 27[edit]
There is no ILS approach from the east. I think this is useful information that should be included on the wiki. This is one of the reasons why during fog conditions they will require reverse operations. In fact, even during bad weather, if you can not spot the runway within a certain threshold a pilot is required to declare a missed approach. You can see the specifications here: http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSAN

'World's busiest single-runway airport'. Also - Stansted issue[edit]
This is inaccurate: Gatwick is also single-use and carries nearly twice as many passengers. Equally, when I was checking the CAA Statistics on 2010 airport use I saw that London Stansted (also single-runway) carried 18,562,000 passengers in 2010 Link here- more than the 18.3m quoted for San Diego in this article. Any suggestions on that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:35, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
What you are saying is innacurate. San Diego had 18.9 million passengers in 2010 not 18.3 million. It was listed that San Diego was the second busiest behind Gatwick, which it still is (even though Gatwick technically has two runways) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:31, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
San Diego also has about 40,000 annual operations more than Standsted. In 2010, San Diego had over 190,937 operations where Standsted had 155,140. Therefore, San Diego is busier in terms of operations and passengers than Standsted. http://www.san.org/sdia/at_the_airport/education/airport_statistics.aspx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 18:17, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Viewing Area[edit]
Removed "viewing area" section. It talked about people viewing planes then went off on a strange tangent about Miramar and the military that made no sense at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 22:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Climb Gradients[edit]
It appears from the departure proceedure charts that the obstruction issue is improved a slightly. Updated this info. Could be a result of the airport wanting to improve the capability for British Airways that operates with a weight penalty. The 777-200ER has a Max takeoff weight of 656,000-pounds for 5,000 miles but it's limited to about 600k at SAN. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 03:22, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Posted on 11/08/2011 1:37:05 PM PST by NYer
November 8, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - This week's episode of Fox Television's prime-time musical comedy show "Glee" featured two teenage couples, one heterosexual and one homosexual, engaging in sex for the first time.
Titled "The First Time," the episode depicted two couples - a young man and woman, Finn and Rachel, and two young men, Kurt and Blaine - each losing their virginity. The development occurs after a fellow student and school play director tells Blaine and Rachel, who are practicing their roles as Tony and Maria for a production of West Side Story, that they won't be believable as lovers onstage until they have sex.
A popular show nominated for twelve Primetime Emmys, Glee has also been nominated for best TV comedy series that promotes homosexuality by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
Join a Facebook page to defend marriage here.
The Parents Television Council (PTC), which has given the show a "not recommended" rating for making sex "the shows most provocative element," slammed the televised sexual encounters - but explicitly stated that the homosexuality of one of the couples was not an issue.
The fact that Glee intends to not only broadcast, but celebrate children having sex is reprehensible, said PTC president Tim Winter. The gender of the high school characters involved is irrelevant."
Winter went on to note, "research proves that television is a teen sexual super peer that can, and likely will, influence a teens decision to become sexually active," making Fox's decision "gross recklessness." PTC had urged members ahead of the show to write or call the network with their objections.

Hopefully they won't blame it on Herman Cain..
Every once in a while it's good to have a reminder as to why I (and my family) no longer watch TV. What a disgrace.
Complete with bedroom scenes huh.
When all the gutter scenarios are used up, what will be left to shock?
I'm down to two shows now, Person of Interest and Blue Bloods, both on CBS.
Much of the rest of it is garbage.
Will it be brought to you by Hershey's? This show will make that one busy highway. . .
There's a reason why I don't bother watching TV.
I would get out of NY if I were you. An asteroid is undoubtedly inbound even if the one tomorrow misses. Part of me is looking forward to the mushroom cloud.
what is it with November and Ratings ?
So no state agency will prohibit this underage sex act to be shown on TV...but if my underage son has sex with your underage daughter, the state will be ready to prosecute.
Thanks for the info. I'll be adding Glee to my block list in a few minutes.
I watch "Walking Dead" and it's not garbage, it's more of a 'refuse and tripe' sort of show.
It is a disgrace. This Sh!t does not belong on TV.
I call it sh!t because that is what it is, censor it if you like it won't make it smell any better.
Parents you know what to do, be a parent! Don't allow the media to educate your child. Make note of the advertizers and the station, do not patronize, boycott.
I keep looking up for the big "reset" asteroid.
In my college days I was very liberal relative to my current politics but even then I would have found this appalling and infuriating.
I have long felt this show was the most morally depraved on all of network TV. That it specifically targets teens and tweens makes it even more disturbing. Homosexuality is NOT normal and it is an abomination. To present as mainstream and "cute" is nothing less than blasphemy.
Our children are subject to brainwashing at every turn from all manner of media and government run schools. The pro-gay meme has reached epidemic proportions and it is sickening to watch. I do strongly believe we are verging on the end times and I pray for our society.
If it weren't for The Deadliest Catch, Ax Men, Swamp Loggers, Pawn Stars, Fox News and NFL football I wouldn't have a television either.
I don't watch sitcoms or dramas, just documentary style learning television, the news and select sports.
And that's on the rare occasion I actually have time to watch television.
Why Fox, the only TV company that has half decent news? What do the reported 8% or so of its investors who are devout Saudi Arabian Muslims think about this nonsense? Will they insist on equal time for goats on Glee?
It does not belong in some males mouth either. That is the odd thing about gay males. They NEVER want to talk ab out what they do with each other but they are very happy to talk about emotional garbage. The truth is that they eat, er, that they eat, uh, you get the point. And that is funky!
...and label your son a sex offender for life.
Soon the show will change its name from Glee to "Gay."
Are themselves notorious for engaging in this sort of perverted behavior.
And yet they gladly pony up funds to teach the old fashioned, homo intolerant kind of Islam throughout the Great Satan. Go figure.
Homowood's writers again promoting and marketing deviance to kids. Setting the stage for same-sex predation on kids is what homowood is about.
CNN: Corey Feldman: Biggest problem in Hollywood is pedophilia
According to former child star Corey Feldman, child molestation is rampant in the entertainment industry, as he told Nightline in an interview.
"The No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia," he said Wednesday. According to Feldman, the casting couch exists for children, too.
Feldman asserts that directors and other adults in the industry take advantage of young aspiring actors on a regular basis. It's all done under the radar... But it's the big secret, the 40-year-old said.
Feldman also claimed that former co-star Corey Haim's death last year was the end result of sexual abuse by an unnamed "Hollywood mogul." Feldman said that his friends substance addiction was "a symptom of the molestation he experienced.
The actor previously revealed to GQ that he was raped by his assistant as a child. "It's something that will be addressed in my inner soul for the rest of my life, and it's something that truly affects me, he told the magazine.
Is this a surprise to anyone? Merely homomsexuals seeking the object of their loving obsession. They now seek to enter and preach to kids from 1st grade up about the magnificent qualities of a progressive lifestyle.
Mean, too! A lot of gay advocates kvetch about the last verses of Romans 1, but homosexuality isn't even what figures most prominently in that rogues' gallery. Satan wants people to be just plain MEAN and it shows. (Gays are some of the meanest people on this planet.)
It isn't what they do with their mouth so bad as what they do with their rectum.
Having sex is not meant to be screwing around with excrement.
Glee must be a code word for Gay.
Homosexuals do nothing BUT preach.
From the outside looking in, I can appreciate your position and advice. From the inside looking out, on the other hand, let me reassure you that what you hear or read in the mainstream media reflects only a small percentage of New Yorkers, mostly those who reside in large cities.
New York is a wonderful state. I was born here and, despite the plethora of suggestions from freepers such as yourself, I have no intention of leaving "home". I have experienced the excitement of work in the bustling metropolis of NYC and the serene calm accompanying the song of loons on Long Lake in the Adirondacks. Nearly 20 years ago, I relocated from the coastal beauty of Long Island to the suburbs of Albany, the state capitol. Residing only 20 minutes from downtown Albany, my yard backs onto a bucolic setting of natural beauty with white tailed deer, red fox and beaver. Only minutes ago, while grilling dinner on the patio, I took in a landscape covered with gold, yellow, red and orange leaves, some still clinging to trees. The rippling sounds of a small creek only served to immortalize the image.
Where else can I go to enjoy the beauty of the four seasons, the architectural splendor of 4 centuries and the 3 hour proximity to NYC, Boston and Montreal?
Part of me is looking forward to the mushroom cloud.
Before it arrives, take some time to enjoy the glorious nature that surrounds you, a veritable gift from God, its creator.
Ask yourself how much the confusion about "sexual roles" that is sown by such programs such as "Glee" contributes to the situation now unfolding at Penn State University?
This is unbelievable plot.
Finn & Rachel have dated from the beginning of the series. Kurt & Blaine have dated from the second season. They are saying that those couples only have sex now? With all things they have shown in public?
I only mentioned the last two verses, but if you read from 1:18 you will realize that God is talking about the reprobate characterized by their sexual perversion--yes, specifically sodomite behavior.
"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; ..." (Romans 1:28ff)
Reprobate, unmerciful haters of God.

Anyone who watches this filth or lets their children watch it is contributing to the screaming nosedive into the abyss of sewage-like immorality which is one of the main things ruining our country. Lest someone should say "well, what people do in their bedrooms doesn't affect anyone else" - this isn't anyone's bedroom, but national TV. And pushing teenage illicit sex, and pushing the vile homosexual agenda, especially targetting young people, is indeed everyones' business. People who are grossly immoral in their "personal" behavior are untrustworthy in their public life. Character matters.

I enjoy most of the music they perform on Glee, but I've never been particularly enthralled with the storyline. Jane Lynch's character is too much of a caricature and the rest of the characters are just silly.
The individual actors are quite talented, but the continued march to the gutter and the sex has been obvious. However, this development is as irresponsible as it gets. There isn't a high director who would EVER tell any high school "actors" that they need to have sex to make a high school production real. For starters, it's HIGH SCHOOL!!!
It's unforntunate that Hollyweird liberals just REFUSE to keep from dragging top rated TV shows into the dirt by spreading their liberal dogma. Hopefully, Glee will see vastly lower ratings and no more Emmy nominations after this.
This is why I no longer watch TV unless football is on.
I think Glee is aiming at their core fans, who have as realistic a notion of real romance as Kirk/Spock slash fiction fans.
Losing your virginity does not equal have a c**k shoved up your a**. Hate to say it that way, but that's what they would have you believe.

Loved these guys. We required a last minute fill in party entertainer for our 7 yr old as the soccer guys cancelled last minute. Kay the owner jumped straight to it and was so helpful organising special games and activities taylored to my son. The 20 or so boys had a great time trying new games and laughing lots! I couldn't thank them more for being so proactive and helpful in our situation. They turned up early and was set up in no time ready for fun. No hassle paying and so cheap for a great experience. Very affordable for parents. I couldn't thank them enough, what a great party idea! Active, fun and easy!
