Boeing mulls price cuts, to a point, in quest for 737 share gain
[CHICAGO] Boeing Co is studying redesigned versions of the 737 Max jetliner, cutting costs and rolling out more robotics in factories to keep pace with relentless competition in the global aerospace market.
But there are limits to what the US planemaker will do in its battles with old foe Airbus Group SE and newer rival Bombardier Inc, executives said Wednesday.
During Boeing's annual investor conference webcast from Seattle, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg sketched out a vision of the company as a "global industrial champion" with profit margins reaching the mid-teens by the end of the decade while cash still flows freely to shareholders.
"We won't chase market share for market share's sake," Mr Muilenburg said during the proceedings, the first since he took over the top job in July.
Mr Muilenburg, who earned his reputation stripping billions of dollars in costs from Boeing's defense business amid declining government spending, is "leaning hard into margins as key success driver going forward," Carter Copeland, an aerospace analyst at Barclays Plc, wrote in a May 9 report.
While Boeing's commercial airplane unit can't lower expenses as freely as its defense counterpart, "there's a lot of fat to be cut out of this organization."
Boeing has stepped up cost-savings efforts at the commercial division to minimize the pricing advantage Airbus, its European rival, enjoys because of the strong US dollar.
While the planemakers now split annual deliveries evenly, Airbus holds a far larger backlog of unfilled orders that could give it a commanding lead in the next decade.
Airbus has logged 5,479 sales of its A320 family jets to 4,380 for Boeing's 737 models, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence.
Boeing will price its jets competitively and take narrow-body market share where "reasonable," said Ray Conner, CEO of Boeing's commercial airplane unit. That doesn't mean every airline customer will get the same bargains as United Continental Holdings Inc, which ordered 737s twice from Boeing earlier this year.
In fact, Boeing didn't even bid its best-selling single-aisle jetliner in a highly publicized contest for a Delta Air Lines Inc order that was ultimately won by Bombardier's C Series.
"We competed for Delta with used 717s, used Embraers," Mr Conner told investors, referring to an out-of-production Boeing model and Embraer SA jets that compete directly with the smallest C Series plane.
Boeing's 737 Max family doesn't have any offerings competing in the 100-seat category targeted by the CS100, the aircraft selected by Delta in an order with a $5.6 billion value based on list prices, Mr Conner said.
Bombardier warned of a US$500 million "onerous contract" charge for that order and a separate sale, implying a below-cost sales price of about US$20 million, according to a May 4 Bloomberg Intelligence report.
Boeing is considering a redesign of its smallest and largest 737 Max models in response to customer feedback, and to the rivalry with Airbus at the top of the market and Embraer at the bottom, Mr Conner said. No decisions have been made yet on possible derivatives of the Max, an upgraded version of the workhorse 737.
The Max is is on track to enter the market in the first half of 2017, Mr Conner said. That's earlier than the plane's scheduled August debut.
The manufacturer has been vetting plans for a larger, longer range version of the Max 7 that would seat about 150 people rather than the 126-passenger capacity of the current version. Also on the drawing board: the so-called Max 10, a stretch of the largest of the models, the Max 9, that would include new engines and landing gear.
While the proposals don't have "super-attractive business cases," they aren't budget-busters, either, Mr Copeland said. Boeing could "appease customer demands" at a cost of about US$1 billion to US$1.5 billion for each of the models.
Redesigning the smallest Max would be "relatively easy," Mr Conner said. "We still believe the heart of the market sits with the Max 8 size," Mr Conner said, referring to the top-selling 737 model, which seats 162 people in a two-cabin configuration.

Trade shows are one of the best ways to promote your business. It's one of the only times when you'll be able to access a large number of potential clients at once. That's why it's important to make sure that you're putting your best face forward with your promotional materials. Among these, be sure to include a beautifully designed and informative brochure. The benefits of having brochures printed include:
Getting Accurate Information in the Hands of the Consumer
Brochures are a great way to condense a lot of information into a small, portable format. If you don't have time to have a lengthy conversation about your business with every person who visits your booth, you can give them all of the information they need in a brochure. If they have questions about your business after the trade show is over, they will be able to find that information in your brochure.
- Pro tip – Ideally, your brochure should contain a mission statement, a brief list and description of the products and/or services you provide, and your contact information. Include a few high-resolution photos of your products or of your business.
Providing Handy References for Potential Clients
The last page of your brochure should contain your contact information, that way potential clients have an easy way to get in touch with you. They can also use the brochure to refresh their memory when it comes to the products and services you can provide for them.
Showing Who You are as a Business
A well-designed brochure tells the customer that you care about the quality of your work, and that you pay attention to details. The more professional your marketing materials are, the more qualified your business looks to the customer.
Getting the Most Professional, Eye-Catching Brochure
When you need eye-catching brochures designed for your next trade show, come to Digiprint and utilize our graphic design services in Reno, NV. Our team can help you come up with a design that will represent your business well, and catch the eye of potential clients.

How to set the default font and font size in EN?
MVPremium posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsWhen I open a new note in EN, I get Tahoma font, size 10. Is there a way to reset this default to another font and size?
Set Default Font Size
llewellen posted a topic in ProductivityWeb client on Linux Is it possible to change the default font size in Notes, either universally or by particular note? I would prefer to set 18 as the default so Notes are more legible on my phone's display. I tend to have short Notes so space on the display isn't often an issue. Thanks.
Chrome Auto tagging
IncrediMetaBeta posted a topic in Web ClipperNotes I create using web clipper in chrome have a tag already assigned to them. I want to eliminate this apparent "auto tagging." This started a week ago. I discovered one forum post on this issue that was closed though contained a link to a supposed solution, but that turned out to be simply the support page. Searching endlessly produced no answer, though I noticed requests for having the ability to auto tag notes. Well, it seems that EN already has it, but I can't figure out where to turn it off. Ideas welcome.
Changing the default note sorting criterion
Peter Dorman posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsI'm running Evernote under Windows 7 on one machine and 8.1 on another. In both environments, the default criterion for sorting notes within a notebook is when they were updated. In general, this is not what I want -- I prefer to sort alphabetically by title. So each time Evernote loads I have to go into the notebook list dialog box and select "sort notes by title". But I'm not done! Because now another default kicks in, to list in reverse order. So I have to go into the dialog box a second time in order to uncheck the "reverse sort order" option. I haven't found any settings option that changes this default so that each time I load Evernote the notes are sorted the way I want, alphabetically by title from A to Z. Can it be that this is impossible? (I haven't found this topic on the discussion board either; my apologies if it has been answered already.)
Default options within text editor
Yohan F posted an idea in General Feature RequestsAs much as you can change the default font and size, I think it would add a lot of functionality and customisation potential to the Evernote editor if you could change more defaults. Some that come to mind, Default font type and size for code blocks Default highlighter colour (linked to this idea)
Saving screenshots to a the same note
Mainak posted an idea in General Feature RequestsCurrently, you can add screenshots, However, Webclipper creates a new note each time you save it. This leads to a proliferation of notes, it should get saved to the same note. There is a default option on notebook, but not on notes. I am sure this problem would have been faced before by others. I raised a ticket where I was told this feature is yet not available. I suppose this is quite fundamental to organization of the notes, if screenshots are required to be used, else the house keeping increases by leaps and bounds which effectively contravenes the very essence of Evernote. Hope i am wrong here and there is a way around. It would really help me.
Default Folder For Notes Upon Opening
PAGFL posted an idea in Evernote for iOS RequestsI would like to see a capability to set a default notebook showing notes in only that Notebook when the app opens. So, for example, while I can set my inbox for new mail and web clippings, I would like the app to open in my works in progress notebook and show me only those notes in my work in progress notebook. Thanks for your consideration.
Aloha, Over the past few days, I've been using scannable A LOT. Long ago, I selected PDF as the default scan option in settings. Yesterday and today, it seems like it's automatically reverting back to AUTO. And then, as a result, it is then choosing PNG as the file format... Of course, I'm not noticing this until after I've saved the file to Google Drive and see it's PNG instead of PDF; resulting in my needing to re-do the whole thing again. I go back to settings and change it back to PDF and it sticks for a while, then it reverts to AUTO again. It seems to happen when I close the APP and start fresh with a new session (But not always.) I'm on version 2.2 - Running IOS 10.1.1 (Haven't upgraded to 10.1.2 yet) Mahalo & Aloha,
Window position bug
martyname posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsHi, [Windows 10] After updating to EN 220.127.116.119 (from EN 5.?.?), each time I open a note, it gets positioned a step down and to the right (i.e., towards "4 o'clock"). In the attached image, each opened note goes in a step-wise fashion -- one step down and to the right -- in perfect proportions. I've tried out a dozen potential workarounds, but haven't found one. Aargh! Is anyone else experiencing this? PS: It doesn't matter how the note is opened -- ctrl + enter, rt. click context menu, and the main menu all act the same. Plus, opening an existing note acts the same as opening a new note. Thanks!

mac How do I quickly switch back to default font?
allenylzhou posted a topic in Evernote for MacOften times I would copy and paste a pre-formatted snippet from another website into evernote and when I want to make a few notes on it after pressing newline, I want to use the default font instead of the font from the snippet. Is there a hot key that I'm not aware of that can help me do this? Or is this a missing feature?
mac REQUEST: Additional default fonts
vitbyst posted a topic in Evernote for MacMy biggest beef with Evernote for Mac is the limited number of fonts available in the editing field. I understand a need to limit their number, but at least can I add some? E.g. I would love to add Courier or Monaco to this list so I can change fonts for my CLI examples. My annoying workaround is to edit the text in Rich Text editor first and then paste into Evernote
android Edit default camera choice in app
iTeedee posted a topic in Evernote for AndroidI missed and clicked the wrong app for the default camera, I have 4 camera apps installed, and I want to edit the currently set default camera. I am running Evernote on a Galaxy S II running 4.0.3. I just got upgraded to that OS so I know it's likely easy, I just haven't found it yet. Can someone give me a clue? Thanks Carolyn
Hey all, While in evernote on my android phone (galaxy S3), a pop up question appeared when i went to use the 'document camera'. I have used it successfully many times before. With out reading the message, I pushed the button to get rid of the pop up. Too late I realized that I had just made the regular camera the default for evernote. Now when I tap the 'document camera' button on my evernote widget the regular camera comes up rather than the evernote camera or document camera. If I push the back button I go back to a blank note, and can get to the document camera from there. I can't find where/how to reset the evernote camera app back to evernote. Can't find a setting in evernote. When I look in my phone settings under 'default applications', there is no entry for evernote or the camera. Any help would be appreciated. Mike

REQUEST: Default Font Size in Notes
Stevie posted a topic in General Discussion ArchiveTo set default font size/style, go to tools--options--click on note tab.
Hello, I am a premium user of Evernote running Win 8.1. When I use the Send to Evernote button in Outlook 2013, the email sends fine, but the font size shrinks randomly to 6, 7, or 8 pts. This is much too small. I have set the default font size in notes to 11 pts, and that works fine when I create a new note or paste other material in from another source, but this tiny font is ridiculous. If I enlarge the font size to 11pts, then it shows up gigantic on my Blackberry. Anyone know how to fix this? TIA!
Thanks to Evernote for Windows having the Desktop folder default to sync, my monthly quota was used up in minutes because I copied some large files to the desktop, not knowing that it would automatically sync to Evernote. What a terrible decision to have a default sync folder set. There should be NO sync folder set on install. If it was something that was selected during the installation, I certainly don't remember and it must not have been clear what the implications of it were. So thank you Evernote. I can no longer sync for the rest of the month (20 days) because of this dumb design decision.

JamesS posted a topic in iOS ArchiveI'm digitising a load of notes at the moment on my iPad and iPhone using the excellent page camera, but am slowed down considerably by having to activate the page camera each time I take a photo.

Most of my capturing uses page camera, so easier to turn it off when not needed really. Hope someone can help Thanks

Hello. I was downloading a bunch of notes off a website and was being prompted each time which program I wanted to use to "open" it...It gave me the choice of OTHER and then I could choose Evernote - which was REALLY helpful. I believe in my excitement there was a box that said "check this box to have this be your default". Well ever since then EVERY document I try to download or view gets put into Evernote! I had a basic membership and this forced me to buy the premium because I kept getting prompts that I was approaching my maximum monthly allowance. Does anybody know where to find the settingi to change this back to asking me each time???

Lovers of fried potato might be having a rethink about the consumption of the food following the latest discovery made by nutritionists.
How your spuds are cooked is key to your health. People who eat fried potatoes two or more times a week double their risk of an early death compared to those who avoid them, a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found.
Eating potatoes that have not been fried was not linked to a similar early mortality risk, the researchers noted.
"Fried potatoes consumption is increasing worldwide," warned Dr. Nicola Veronese, lead author of the study and a scientist at the National Research Council in Padova, Italy
In 2014, Americans consumed 112.1 pounds of potatoes per person, according to the National Potato Council. Of that total, 33.5 pounds were fresh potatoes, the remaining 78.5 pounds were processed. According to the US Department of Agriculture, the majority of processed potatoes Americans eat are French fries.
Trans fats in fried potatoes
Veronese and his colleagues have been tracking 4,440 people aged 45 to 79 over a period of eight years to study osteoarthritis. This research team decided to momentarily set aside the main issue of osteoarthritis and look at participants' consumption of potatoes.
Even though most of us may have assumed that fried potatoes could be unhealthy for us, there is "very limited" scientific data on this issue, Veronese explained in an email.
So the researchers divided study participants into subgroups based on how frequently they ate potatoes each week. Over the eight years, a total of 236 of the participants died. Analyzing the data for each group, Veronese and his team found that those who ate fried potatoes two to three times each week doubled their chance of dying early compared to those who ate no fried potatoes.
French fries, potato chips, hash browns — and any other preparation requiring a fryer — are all included under the umbrella of "fried potatoes," Veronese explained.
Age or sex of participants did not influence the result, but the data showed men were more likely than women and younger participants were more likely than older participants to enjoy the fried food.
The study is observational, meaning the researchers simply tracked the behavior of a group of people and found an association between one behavior — eating fried potatoes — and another factor — early death. Because it is an observational study, Veronese and his co-authors note it cannot be said that eating fried potatoes directly causes an early mortality — it would require more research to draw such a firm conclusion.
"Even if it is an observational study, we believe that the cooking oil, rich in trans-fat, is an important factor in explaining mortality in those eating more potatoes," said Veronese. Trans fat has been shown to raise the "bad," or LDL, cholesterol in the blood, which can lead to cardiovascular disease.
Yet, he also added that "other important factors," including obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and use of high quantities of salt might also play a role in the early death of those eating two or more portions of fried potatoes each week.
National Potato Council CEO John Keeling said the "study isn't relevant to the general population" since the data was collected for an osteoarthritis study and includes only patients with arthritis.
"Potatoes are inherently a very healthy vegetable," said Keeling in an email. He said a medium-sized potato is 110 calories, has no fat, no sodium, no cholesterol, and provides nearly a third of the daily vitamin C requirement with more potassium than a banana.
"How the potato is prepared will impact the calorie, fat and sodium content," said Keeling, however the basic nutrients remain "no matter how it is prepared."
Based on the data in the study, Keeling said, "it is very much a stretch to brand fried potatoes, or any other form of potato, as unhealthy."
Susanna Larsson, an associate professor at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, noted that the new study provides "no evidence" that potato consumption in and of itself may increase the risk of an early death. Larsson was not involved in the new study. Instead, it may be the "other factors" suggested by Veronese himself.
"Fried potato consumption may be an indicator of a less healthy (Western) dietary pattern which is associated with increased mortality," said Larsson, who also conducted a study of potato consumption. Her study did not find an increased risk of cardiovascular disease linked to eating potatoes.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Flight Following' started by Unit74, Jun 15, 2019.
When my Cherokee got boring I traded it for a Mooney. Isn't boring anymore!
I can't afford to fly for "free" like that. I look at my checkbook before I fly and ask if I can actually afford to fill the tanks. I pretty much use OT as a "lets go fly" option.
Having owned an Archer and done some flying in a M20J, that would do nothing for me. It just gets there faster. In any case, both are sardine cans.
I suspect that is a big part of the problem. If finances are making flying stressful, you won't enjoy flying as much, and you might not ever realize why.
How about looking for a partner? Or forming a club? Or moving into a smaller house? (that might be a bit extreme).
Kinda sorta... I made a deal that any plane money would not come from any other sources, nor would shopping trips, vacations, dinner, etc be impacted. In other words, buy the plane, but you won't use "house" money to do it. Ironically, she is the one who told me to sell the Archer and get the Lance. I discussed selling it and she pretty much said, "uh... No." When she wants to go, she wants to go. Kinda like Im her uBer in the sky.... Branson, Dallas, Gulf Shores, Nawleans.......... BHS was the biggest problem though. She fell in love with that option.
Honestly, I can afford to do it. I just use money as a justification not to. Recently, I have been flying once a week just to get the plane hot. Don't want it to rot in place.
Anything that was once fun and exciting, but that you've since done over and over is going to be boring at some point; take sex with my wife for instance.
I know what you mean. I tired of sex with your wife a while ago. (Ba-dum,, tshhhh).
The "rut" just took on its alternate meaning.
Funny how flying from the right seat is just the same, but very different at first.
I forgot to add to my list - I often fly for a local organization, FlightsforLife, transporting blood / other stuff, for the Phx Blood bank, Vitalant.
Because you and I have these heavy-haulers, I can take more weight than many others. More than once, I've seen a blood drive coming from a city, broken up as two missions, eight boxes each, so that it doesn't overload a common 4x4 GA airplane.
I simply sign up for both missions, and take 'em in one trip. I also don't care as much as others if it's coming out of Flagstaff.
It's my way of giving back to the community, taking advantage of this capable birdie, and putting purpose to my flying.
Is there a similar opportunity for you, in your part of the continent?
No clue... GA seems kinda hit or miss here.
I'm going flying in 30 min though.... Need to get the plane hot.
I have flown lots of stuff... Mainly aerobatic, biplanes and tailwheel stuff. When I first started flying I bought a 172... I got bored fast. Sold it and bought a Decathlon and starting having fun. Then I went to biplanes and have had every variety of Pitts.... Several Christen Eagles and now have a Stearman. I just bought a IO-550 powered Bonanza. It is fast for going on a trip but extremely boring to fly. If the Bonanza was the only plane I would give up flying!
After all the years my 65hp J-3 Cub is my favorite. I fly it several times a week. You can't beat it! It is the plane I will never sell. You don't need anywhere to go, just go up and fly circles around the airport and it's a blast. That Turbo Lance you have is about the most boring thing in the world! If that is the only plane I had I wouldn't be excited about flying either.
It's a great plane to use for travel but not flying for fun.
It is like cruising around in a School bus instead of cruising a 1969 hot rod Camero.
Count me as one that bought for the 10% mission (but count it as probably 60% of my flying) and not the other 90%. The problem was finding a real traveler for rent that would be able to do what we needed. I thought I'd be able to make the bigger plane work for the other 90% of the flying that would be done when we weren't traveling, but it really isn't that "fun" to fly. That 90% of routine, local flying has turned into a bit of a chore, as it's used mainly to just keep the oil circulated and the plane exercised, as well as keeping me proficient. Many weekend days I'd prefer to sit around the house and just veg, as I fly 20 hrs or so during the week for work. However, at least every 2 weeks I force myself to take the plane out. I'll run through a single engine drill, some steep turns, a practice approach or two, and then drop down on a local river and check out the boats, barges, locks and dams for a couple of hours and then return home...can't really think of any place within 300 miles I'd like to visit on my own for a couple of hours. The good thing is that I ALWAYS feel better afterward that I went flying and a little exhilarated too. I wish I could feel that way beforehand...
I'd like to try tailwheel or get checked out on the FBO's -152 again, just to try and spark some excitement, but honestly, it's so darned hot now through September that it probably wouldn't be that much fun, lol. Besides, why fly those planes when I have my twin and need to be flying it?
I'm probably going to put out an ad for a partner in a couple of years (I'll be retiring from the military and we'll be looking to settle in our forever home). The plane could use the additional exercise and I could use the decreased cash outflow. Have considered starting some instructing in it (time building for airline aspirants, not ME rating) as I'm an MEI, but not exactly sure I want to have to commit to anything, lol. Not even sure there's really a true market for it either: right seat with an MEI in the left for $250/hr? Even sounds BORING.
REALLY looking forward to Oshkosh though! I'm taking my son this year and we're camping at least 3 nights. Normally he could care less about the airplane, even though all trips we take are for his benefit. But, even he has started to tell me that he's excited about Oshkosh. So that helps! Guess I should start working on my spot landings...
This thread is exactly why I havent given up my IT job for a career in aviation... even with the recent pay increases that now make aviation a possible career avenue that doesnt involve taking a 80% or more pay reduction for the next 5+ years (seeing pays now that start at 60% and increasing rapidly to a 20-30% reduction after 3-ish years).
My issue has been that Im stuck in a rut with IT which, though it was always more vocational than recreational, I used to enjoy doing. 8 years ago, I stopped doing the IT as a hobby on the side stuff seeing it as "work." I did try to get back into it a 2 or 3 years ago and did have some fun but it was very much a flash in the pan... Now? Im bored, have been living off my savings for the past 12 months and cant find a job posting that sounds interesting to me.
Ive been toying with a career in aviation but Im so fearful that Ill take something that I enjoy doing (and I love doing the tailwheel, seaplane, etc type stuff) and turning it into a career and something that I no longer enjoy/want to do...
Its a problem I see with a lot of airline pilots, they dont fly GA anymore... Though whether this is out of boredom or because GA was just a means to an end is hard to say; very few of the current crop of pilots have "found" themselves in aviation careers by chance/matter of course... most have gone into it with the sole intention of flying airlines.
I call that the "just a little bit more" trap. And most of us have been there. We start out in those easy to fly training 172s and Cherokees, and soon after renting those becomes boring and we start to hanker for something just a little bit faster, a little roomier, a little bit more useful load, etc.
I went through that progression. Maybe now I'm regressing, with the taildragger.
For me, just flying has always been boring. It's not about the flying per say, it's about, where can you land?
I think flying any aircraft from point a to point b, concrete to concrete get's boring really fast. You can make it a little more fun if it's busy airspace, or IFR in actual, flying in the mountains (not over) with winds, etc.
But just flying... B-o-r-i-n-g!
I can identify with some of this.
I don't fly for a living, but I've also found that unless I have a place to go and a reason to go there, I don't pull the twin out of the hangar any more. Fortunately, I still have enough personal and professional excuses to fly so the plane doesn't sit too long. And no matter what, I too always get out of the airplane after a flight with a smile on my face. It's still a great experience every time I leave the ground in any plane I am piloting.
Highly recommend you try out a tailwheel. Learning to fly a tailwheel has rejuvenated my attitude to flying for fun. It's not difficult to learn to fly a tailwheel airplane. However, it is a challenge (for me, at least) to fly a tailwheel really proficiently. I think I will still be learning 200 hours from now, and maybe another 200 after that too.
I suggest going to Alaska (unless you are too used to living the soft life...) Sure, you might fly 1000 hours in a year and that becomes a job after a while. But for me it is the enjoyment of helping tourist enjoy their northern experience, like taking tourist on a once in a lifetime sightseeing trip or bear viewing trip. I really enjoy interacting with the people.
Or taking supplies to a village. One village had not had a flight in for a week because of weather. I loaded the plane with milk, formula, diapers, cigarettes and coffee and the people actually cheered when they saw the coffee. After that everytime they would see me they would at least greet me. It is hard to be accepted by the eskimo people, but once accepted you are in.
In Kotzebue there was an elderly lady that lived by herself in a small village outside of Kotz. Everyother weekend she would come to town to visit her great grand children and go shopping. On Monday she would be on my flight to go home. I always greeted her by name, and asked her how her visit was. Then I would make sure I got everything she was taking back. I would spend about 10 minutes with her and find out how she was doing. One time, she gave me a small Styrofoam container and said, ''Here, I thought you might like a hot lunch.'' Now it was eskimo food. From the smell of it I guessed it was either seal or walrus. Now that stuff kills white people, but I thanked her and told her I will eat it when I get back. To be offered native eskimo food is an honor.
Now the flying, like I said there were several years I broke 1000 hours, and that does become tedious. Then the weather changes and it becomes a whole new game. Now a lot of the villages have weather cams and at least an awos, so taking off and seeing what the weather is like is becoming less and less of a problem. And then there is night time flying. Totally different. I have flown on cloudy nights where there is no visbility until you see the lights of the village. Then sometimes a full moon lights up the ground so bright I wondered if I could really log it as night time.
If Alaska sounds like it could be too much, try air ambulance. I didn't get paid to fly, I got paid to wait. I would consider the month a busy one if I broke 30 hours. It is still all (legal) weather flying, day and night trips but I was home every night. In the several years I did air ambulance I did one over night and that was because of a mechanical problem.
Unit74 - I emailed the Prez at FlightsForLife and he said we've got an Oklahoma group that handles Arkansas.
It would be REALLY nice to have a volunteer pilot based in the Little Rock area.
Check out the website: www.flightsforlife.org
Interesting organization! Don't see it listed on the website, do you all have a group in Mississippi too?
I'm not aware of us expanding into Dixie yet, but I'll ask.
I have what I call my "Grand Circle Tour of Alaska" plotted out. 10-ish legs covering ~2200 NM leaving from and returning to Anchorage, traveling to all the national parks not accessible by road, along with a few other stops (Wales, where they probably actually can see Russia from their backyards, Barrow and Northern most point in the US + Arctic Ocean and the Arctic Circle sign on the Dalton Highway). One day I'll make the trip
Definitely sounds like a more rewarding/fulfilling aviation career than flying for an airline. Only problem is that its in Alaska... lol. I've been trying to plot my escape back to the south ever since moving back to the mid-atlantic region from TX & SoCal, just dont have the tolerance for the cold, except in short stints (especially this year after losing a good chunk of body fat/weight) and the mid-atlantic doesnt get nearly as cold as Alaska.
Just recently met a guy when doing my seaplane rating that does the Alaska piloting thing in the summers and Florida Seaplane CFI thing in winters... Maybe that's something to consider... Still need to build hours though; my 350 hours and SE only doesnt exactly have employers banging on the door.
I can't speak for the civilian airline pilots, but I work with 70 military instructor pilots, at least 30% are airlines pilots, and only 3 of us fly GA.
There aren't a lot of airline guys that fly GA, but that's not necessarily because airline flying killed their passion for GA. Many came from the military and never flew GA to begin with, while others used GA as merely a means to become a professional pilot. In my experience, a lot of guys that loved flying GA when they came up through the ranks still love it.
Just speaking for myself, being an airline pilot did exactly the opposite of what you're afraid of - it promotes the itch to do go out and fly some GA. Not to fly from point A to B, but to go up and have a little fun, and do it on my terms. Tailwheel, aerobatics, little local fly-ins - none of that stuff intersects with the routine of an airline gig. Last summer I took ten days off and got my SES up in Minnesota because, why the hell not?
Anyway, there are dozens of reasons not to quit your day job to go fly for an airline, but I feel the whole "it'll kill my passion for flying!" angle is overblown. I think the OP is reminding all of us that any hobby can get a little stale if you don't go out and find interesting things to do with it from time to time.
One of my partners is a FO on a 787, but flies the Mooney all the time, has a place on Hilton Head and uses the plane to zip over to the island.
To go for a $100 crab cake, the direct operating cost of my Bonanza isn't any higher than what I paid with the warrior. It's just that I spend less time in the air going to the same destinations. For me the 'too much airplane to fly for fun problem' would probably start at a meridian.
We routinely fly to places in our Bonanza that we probably wouldn't have when we had the 172. For a lunch or breakfast run, we usually keep it around an hour each way. That would be around 125 miles in the 172 and almost 200 miles in the Bonanza.
This is a good place to fly for!
Even I have had just about enough of Alaskan winters. I prefer going back in summers now.
And get that Grand Circle Tour going.!! I hope you have the Kobuk Sand dunes in your plan.
You have to try real hard to be bored in a tail dragger.
True, there are a lot more ways to add variety and fun to the routine of flying than it is for programming and systems/network administration & security.
If I could afford it, I'd probably end up owning 3 planes:
A Bellanca Viking for the "I wanna go some where" days
A Bellanca Citabria for the "I wanna putts around the pattern, do some acro or just get my tailwheel on" days
A single engine seaplane for the "I wanna be on the water" days... though if I could really afford 3 planes, I probably could end up in Grumman Goose or Widgeon (or the Goose/Widgeon hybrid composite Gweduck)... Pretty much any of the Grumman Waterfowls (an Albatross sounds fun but might be a bit too big though) which is more or less my dream plane.
Like how their first officers need a commercial with 200 hours total time... Did I read that right?
Kobuk is on the list. Dont want to hijack the thread so I sent you a PM with my list of "destinations." The tour needs a plane (or someone willing to lend me a plane for a reasonable rate but overnights are killers), lots more practice with unpaved strips (and probably some general bush flying experience too) and enough time to get it done but I'll figure it out eventually.
I'll be quite frank about it. I can't afford to fly for something like that. Not that I don't want to per se, I simply do not have the money to burn on an uncompensated flight. I already fly on the edge of affordability.
You could always start a go fund me thingy and con others into paying for it. I guess others do it all the time.
You should hijack my thread instead. I'm interested in seeing what you have planned so I can expand my own horizons as I plan a similar but probably less ambitious trip.
I would not even considered that. I'm probably making it sound worse than it is. I guess I am getting tired of spending upwards of $1200/mo for something I am bored with.
Alimony sucks, amirite?!
I might be getting screwed by it, but we aint married!
I know what you are talking about, ultimately it's a hobby, no one is forcing you to go (that has worked for me).. I went a *long* time without flying, about 5 years.. eventually what got me back into it was
-set a goal to get IR
-made missions for myself like various ski trips, weekend getaways, etc. Places that are too far by car and not convenient going commercial, like Sedona for example
-and if I got bored or found myself buzzing along in the plane feeling like what an airline pilot may feel like, I just won't go for a few weeks, until I start to miss it again..
Flying as a recreational hobby is an odd sort of thing, crazy expensive, and not very practical (if we're being honest), so your heart definitely has to be in it
good luck, hopefully you work yourself out of your rut!
I've been in the rut. Mine started because no one wanted to go places with me. Same with the motorcycle. It's not as much fun riding by yourself 100% of the time. Sac said it was the same for him with sex.
For me it just kind of worked itself out on its own. I just started picking places at random, flying there with the intent to see the town. The flight wasn't the goal - the town was.

A few years ago when my daughter and I backpacked through Europe, one morning we stood in front of the Destinations Board in Geneva to decide where to go next. Our first idea was Montpellier, France,
A few years ago when my daughter and I backpacked through Europe, one morning we stood in front of the Destinations Board in Geneva to decide where to go next. Our first idea was Montpellier, France, but all the guys in the World Cup had taken all the seats, so instead we hopped a train for Italy with no plans and no reservations. Arriving in the evening we watched gondolas and water taxis pass each other in the center then move out of sight. We decided on a cappuccino and a walk before finding a place to settle in.
But, because the World Cup was happening in Paris, in Venice, every bed, closet and cardboard box was booked. So with a cranky teenager in tow, I suggested we return to the train station where I could think of 'Plan B'.
As gondolas parked in their stalls, water taxis stopped buzzing, and the throngs of people went to hotels or hostels, I realized we were alone. At midnight the last train arrived and a few folks headed off knowing they had a place to stay. But others were destined to spend the night on the steps of the train station with us. People from India, Germany, and Japan.
A little boy ran up and down the stairs, and a girl cried that she was freezing, so an old man gave her his coat and she curled up on her father's lap.
"Whose idea was it to come here anyway? This is the most horrible night of my whole life!" whined my daughter.
Since the train station was open, we took turns going in to get warm and take bathroom breaks.
Upon returning from one of those breaks I noticed that our troupe had
lightened up. The boy and girl, a couple, the old man, and my dear daughter had
formed a singing group. They were happily belting out theme songs to classic
American sitcoms like One Day at a
Time and Cheers. There is nothing quite like hearing the theme song to The Facts of Life sung by people with 8 different accents!
Things were brightening up in another way too. A milkman in his canoe made morning rounds. Newspapers were tossed from a speedboat.
Realizing our ordeal was almost over we started off for separate places. But there was one more thing our group was meant to experience together. And when it happened, there were no words. We all stood in silent awe. Because in Venice, there is one moment, just after dawn, when the rising sun shines down and turns the city to gold. It lasted only a moment, but what a perfect moment it was.
I still think about that cold night in front of the Venice train station. When things get rough, I try to remember that a blessing can be disguised as an unplanned adventure, a town with no beds, or even a grumpy teenager. I question a bit less now. I accept a lot more.
As for my grumpy teen, she is all grown up now and she has traveled the world twice over. But even today if I ask her to name her favorite city, without missing a beat she exclaims "Venice, of course."
Well, of course.

Peaceful walk through nature 5 minutes outside of Blacksburg that is great for relaxing, running, walking, biking, and photography.
This is an easy hike through nature with about 2 miles of grass paths and about 0.75 miles of paved paths. It is Blacksburgs biggest park at 169 acres with easy to find parking and picnic areas. Benches are located around the park to sit and enjoy the screnery and wildlife. The park offers access to open meadows, streams, marshes, and a small pond. There are abandoned barns and silos that are great for photographing and exploring. There is minimal elevation change which makes it great for running, cycling, dog walking, and relaxing.

Great Park
This is a great place to go if you're looking for a park to walk around in. There's a pond, creek and abandoned buildings. It's also located right across the street from Glade Rd. farm. You can stop by there on Fridays for a meal after a hike!

A Nice Stroll Even On A Hot Day
We really enjoyed this park in Blacksburg. We drove about an hour from Roanoke and it was worth the drive. (Went down Blacksburg Rd. to get to the easy to find Park so that was a beautiful drive in itself) The walk was very easy with wide mown paths that wound through woods and fields, by a small lake, creeks, and meadows. We saw and heard meadow larks, red winged blackbirds and indigo buntings, among others. Saw and heard wildlife in various places, some we identified, others just made themselves known by crashing around through the underbrush. Oh, and there were plenty of flowers and photographic opportunities! All in all it was an enjoyable, easy walk. We will be returning again, I'm sure!

Thank you Hans, for the Photoshop work. It helped me see those shots as they really are, instead of "through rose colored glasses". Yours are probably a lot closer to the original than mine, now that I've seen them that way. I should have played with them myself, but I was in a hurry to get something posted to break the ice in the new forum. I've enjoyed everyone's critiques.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Uncle Tom's Cabin
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a novel of the mid 19th century. The novel is also called "Life Among the Lowly." According to Kaufman, the novel was well timely and was a great asset when it came to laying out the groundwork for the civil war. Harriet Stowe, a teacher, wrote the novel. Stowe played the Uncle Tom's character. The novel revolves around Uncle Tom and his sufferings as a black slave. All the other characters have their roles built around Tom who is the main character. The reality of slavery is portrayed in this touching novel. The author also tries to show the reader how the destruction by slavery can be overcome through Christian love.
Best-selling Novel
In the 19th century, slavery was at its highest. People were trafficked and sold out as slaves. Those who resisted were tortured and some killed. Human beings that had no power had were forced to work for others without any pay. So this novel came as something that most people identified with. This made the best-selling novel in that century. In the 19th century alone, it sold way over 300 thousand copies I the United States only. Another one million copies was sold in what was then the Great Britain. In three years time from the date of publication, Stowe's novel was more popular than any other novel of that time. Many did not believe that this novel was written by a lady due to the level of acceptance that it got. It was arguably the second best-selling book at that time, trailing the Bible. It was a great novel and its themes fueled the abolitionist which was what Stowe greatly believed in.
In the past days, women were not seen as better writers. They were undermined and their works never got much acceptance by the male chauvinistic societies of the time. This led to many female authors publishing their works using male name so as to penetrate the biased markets. We see a different story with Stowe. She publishes her book in her female name. The first full print of the book was in 1852. After that print and all the copies were sold, Stowe was seen as if to have been fueling the war with her works and thus demand for the book came to a halt. Her work resumed printing in the year 1862. Demand was high and this novel was translated to many other languages.

Butter trumps margarine for Aussie consumers
Aussies buy more butter compared to margarine with over 12.3 million locals buying it in an average month, according to the latest research by Roy Morgan.
Brands of butter such as Western Star, Devondale, Mainland and own brands from Coles, ALDI and Woolies have risen to the top.
It's latest studies show that butter purchasers have increased from below 11.9 million four years ago.
"Butter is gaining the edge in the long-running battle between Australia's two favourite spreads with butter now bought by over 8.6 million Australians (42%) in an average month up from 7.4 million (38.5%) four years ago," Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan said.
"Over the same four year stretch significantly fewer Australians are now purchasing margarine, now down to 5 million (25%) in an average month down over 1.3 million from four years ago. This significant divergence in the market for spreads has provided a significant boost to all major butter producing companies led by Western Star. Over 3.1 million Australians now buy a Western Star butter spread in an average month, up over 550,000 from four years ago."
In 2018, over 8.6 million Australians, bought butter in an average month comprising 42% of Australians aged 14+. This is an increase of over 1.1 million compared to four years ago in 2014 when there were over 7.4 million Australians who bought butter in an average month. Comparably, Roy Morgan said that just over 5 million Australians (25%) bought margarine in an average month in 2018, representing a significant decline of over 1.3 million from four years ago in 2014.
Aussies also prefer other types of blends and dairy spreads. Nearly 2.6 million Australians (13%) bought a butter blend or dairy spread in an average month representing an increase of nearly 650,000 from four years ago, according to Roy Morgan.

Western Star is still the main producer of butter in Australia, bought by over 3.1 million Australians in an average month. This has increased by over 550,000 from four years ago and has captured a far larger market size than their leading rivals. It's most popular products are Western Star Unsalted butter, Western Star Salt Reduced butter and Western Star butter.
Its rival company Devondale has also increased its customer base by nearly 70,000 to 727,000. While Mainland's customer base lifted by nearly 140,000 to 656,000. As for the private labels for butter from Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and Foodland, their market size have lifted by 175,000 to over 2.5 million customers in 2018.

"As well as the traditional Western Star original butter spread the Western Star Unsalted butter and Western Star Salt Reduced butter marketed as healthy alternatives which retain an appealing taste. Roy Morgan's health research shows that 73% of Australians agree when eating food that 'I like to eat healthy but don't want to compromise on taste'," said Levine.
"If companies such as Western Star, as well as major butter producers including Devondale and Mainland can strike the right balance between a healthy butter or margarine spread that retains its taste they can continue to grow their market shares in a tough, but growing, market."
Roy Morgan said in a statement that Australians' increasing preference for butter is now the main driver of the growth in the butter, margarine or dairy spreads market of over 12.3 million Australians (60%).

Lisa Wolfe Design is a boutique firm focused on residential design. Her clients will tell you she is famous for pushing them out of their comfort zone to get the beautiful end result. Her style is rooted in classicism but she infuses each concept with a Boho spirit and layers upon layers of color, texture and pattern. We are anything but boring and view every Client's project as an opportunity to create a unique product that they will live with and love for years.
Lisa Wolfe is a full service design talent, offering interior design, architectural, construction and custom-build services for the residential market. She has partnered with Design Studio 24, LLC and Abington Builders (among a few) to be a one-stop shop where collaboration, insight, experience, and a spectacular set of knowledge and eyes will carry you through the process from beginning to end. Not everyone needs a full renovation. Lisa also works with clients on room-by-room as well as a consulting-only basis. Lisa Wolfe Design's full range of interior design services include:- Entire home or single room transformations
- Art hung too high or too low
- Insufficient lighting
- They play it safe so the entire home is a vanilla/beige color
- No concept of scale or proportion; furniture is too big, or they put really large next to really tiny pieces
- Too cluttered (picture frames, knick knacks - no groupings)
- Area rugs are too small
Your children are going to change as they grow up. It is not realistic to think that you can decorate a room for a two-year old and that they will still love it when they are 10. If you choose a theme, avoid the predictable execution that might result in frilly lampshades, lots of stuffed animals and pastel colors. Choose furniture, lighting and colors as though you were designing for a teenager; use more sophisticated palettes, less baby details.
Although these are 2 distinct spaces, you need to ensure there is a connection between the two -- chandeliers, pendants, color palettes need to compliment each other . There also has to be a balance between the two rooms via furniture style, overall heaviness/lightness of space, fabrics, wood finishes. Don't forget about the circulation/overall floor plan.
Tile that looks like wood.
I never have a problem finding or gaining inspiration, I sill go through my magazines and rip out images that speak to me. Ten years later, I have five enormous binders that I call my "Idea Bibles". When I'm looking for inspiration, these notebooks are generally the first place I go. I also enjoy walking through the Merchandise Mart to see the latest collections and installations. My clients are a great source of inspiration- it is important that I understand their aesthetic ideal and get in their heads before I start "conceptualizing".
Another favorite vice is grabbing a cup of coffee and walking though vintage second-hand stores.
I don't have any design secrets per se, but a big part of my job is getting Clients to overcome their fear of change or willingness to settle. I do think Clients in general underestimate the power of a beautiful light fixture, sconces, a great chandelier. I feel that I fight for this all the time because the Client feels their four recessed ceiling cans are "just fine".
Wallpaper is another tool that has been given a bad rap because it reminds them of their grandmother's dining room. The textures and pattern and colors can transform a room in a heart beat. Clients are consumed with the fear on how to get rid of it if in 10 years they want to do something different. It's easy ? Just rip it down!

If it makes you scratch your head, it is art," proclaimed the American artist Edward Ruscha. A lot of people would agree with this line; it reflects their feelings about contemporary art quite well.
Sakshi Gallery seems to have taken the dictum as a challenge and, in a leap of faith, asked art collector Swapan Seth to become the curator for its 25th anniversary show, titled Scratch, now on in Delhi. Seth is known as a collector of new media (video) and mixed media (installation) works and there are plenty of both among the contemporary artworks on display.
Two of the video works are typically quirky. The camera gently pans over modest, haphazardly built urban dwellings, capturing the gradual increase in the early morning sunlight in the 6-minute video that features in Rashmi Kaleka's "surround sound installation", Hawkers ki Jagah. Accompanying this urban idyll of sorts are the intermingling sounds of different hawkers peddling a variety of wares which have been amplified to create a kind of Indian pastoral symphony.
The repetitive bird call in Priyanka Dasgupta's 4077 similarly offsets the slow motion black and white close-up video of an insect (that looks like a smaller version of a centipede) slowly curling, and twisting on the ground in what looks like a life-death struggle. The title refers to the 4,077th death in the ongoing military operations in Iraq. Dasgupta says she wants to show "how individuals are reduced to numbers, under the seductive control of patriotism".
The videos are actually aesthetically appealing. So they qualify as works of art on two counts—they make you scratch your head, and they are pretty to look at.
"There is no great theme, no great thread," Seth says about the show. One element common to the works, according to him, is that they are all "large, fresh and formidable". "Indian art lacks sheer size and scale," he adds. "The spectacle of this show is its appeal."
Geeta Mehra, director of Sakshi Gallery, finds this attitude refreshing. Most Indian collectors, she feels, are largely conservative in their tastes. Her own collection at home, she admits, reflects this conservatism.
Mehra points out that, unlike in Mumbai, the Sakshi Gallery branch in Taipei, Taiwan, largely shows new media and mixed media works. One reason she hasn't given such works the same emphasis closer home is the quality of artworks produced in India. "A lot of new media is not up to par in India," she says.
She lays part of the blame for this on the lack of local patronage. Shows such as this one, she hopes, will nudge buyers to be more attentive to alternative and newer forms of media. "I eventually hope to influence other people," she says. "The different range of art practice that will be on display needs to gain more currency."
Among them are Akshay Rathore's Rye ka Pahad and Mithu Sen's floor installation, Lifelong. The title of Rathore's work describes what it is—a 4ft-tall, 9ft-wide mound of mustard or rye seeds. The reference is to the common Hindi phrase "rai ka pahad banana", which roughly translates to "making a mountain of a molehill". As Rathore describes it, there are multiple allusions—to hills and mountains, including the ones in Orissa that the tribal population is fighting to save from being taken over by mining companies; as well as to the traditional association of the mustard seed in the Bible as well as in Hindu texts with "faith, soul, the universe". The mound has been raised from the ground, providing the added "dramatic" element.
At first sight, Lifelong by Sen, comprising a regular 2K inch-long spool of white thread, is the opposite of "formidable". But wound around the spool, over the white thread, is a strand of black hair. It is made up of Sen's own hair stuck together to make a 40ft-long strand. If a human never cuts her hair and lives till the age of 70, her hair would grow to a length of 40ft. The small spool with the long strand around it has been placed on a 5ft-pedestal so that viewers can see it at eye level.
Rather conventionally, the viewer is welcomed to the show by a band with horns and drums. But Indonesian artist Jompet Kuswidananto's installation has band members with no bodies, only eerie, hollow breeches and shoes, circular video screens for heads and mechanical arms that beat on drums. The valedictory work, by N.S. Harsha, has the opposite effect, quietly inviting reflection. Engraved on a block of marble are the words: "Art is elsewhere". We are free to draw our own conclusions.
Scratch is on display until 19 November at the Lalit Kala Akademi, Rabindra Bhawan, 35, Feroze Shah Road, New Delhi. For details, log on to www.sakshigallery.com

8 In the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the Lord Yahweh's hand fell there on me. 2 Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal. 3 He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north; where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy. 4 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain. 5 Then he said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and see, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 6 He said to me, Son of man, do you see what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you shall again see yet other great abominations. 7 He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. 8 Then he said to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dug in the wall, behold, a door. 9 He said to me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here. 10 So I went in and saw; and see, every form of creeping things, and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall. 11 There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, every man with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense went up. 12 Then he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? for they say, Yahweh doesn't see us; Yahweh has forsaken the land. 13 He said also to me, You shall again see yet other great abominations which they do. 14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Yahweh's house which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz. 15 Then he said to me, Have you seen this, son of man? You shall again see yet greater abominations than these. 16 He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh's house; and see, at the door of Yahweh's temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward Yahweh's temple, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshiping the sun toward the east. 17 Then he said to me, Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and behold, they put the branch to their nose. 18 Therefore will I also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

The gland is responsible for producing fluids that are necessary for nourishing and transporting sperms.
While prostatitis is usually found to affect men of all ages, it is considered to be more common in men younger than 50. While there are numerous causes behind the condition, it may be difficult to identify one specific cause.

"We recently hired Gelinas HVAC to replace our combo boiler/water heater. We never used Gelinas before, but gave them a call based on a strong recommendation from a friend. Boy, were we happy we did. What a great experience! Did I mention that the furnace is in a 4th floor loft?! And, not a complaint was heard! Gelinas has our business moving forward. We will definitely be recommending you to friends and family. Thanks Team!" – John W., Homeowner, Portland, Maine
"Going green is on everybody's mind but we had many questions as to what we really gain and what we really save. Gelinas simplified the entire process with an easy-to-understand yet comprehensive explanation and a great variety of options. We've gone solar, and we're very happy." – Brian and Mary S., Pine Point Maine
"We were not sure if we could get by with air conditioning repair, or a replacement off the equipment with an installation of a new AC system. We needed advice from someone we could trust because of the cost difference between repair or replace. Gelinas HVAC exceeded our expectations and saved us a substantial amount of money. Now, that was very cool!" – Tom and Ruth T, Homeowners, Gray ME
"At the end of the day, cost was the biggest consideration for my commercial application. I got several prices for the same project and Gelinas HVAC was easily the most competitive. We met our quality requirements for both equipment and installation, and we saved significant money on the budget. We could not have been happier." – Tom L., Business Owner, Gorham, ME
"Gelinas was only not there when I needed them, their pricing was the most competitive I could find in the state of Maine; and I did my homework." – Ruth W., Homeowner, Portland, Maine
"Complete experience was critical to me. I needed advice on the right equipment and someone I could trust for quality installation and guarantees. Gelinas had the best combination of knowledge and experience and our job is perfect." – Mary M., Homeowner, Yarmouth, Maine
"We were very satisfied with how Gelinas answered all our questions, and really impressed with how responsive they were from initial call back to every phase of our installation. Actually, we were pleasantly surprised because you don't get that level of professionalism with every company. Want our recommendation? Call Gelinas HVAC." – Sam and Gretchen W., Deering, Maine
"There is an obvious difference working with Gelinas. Their range of products and level of ability makes them the single company to call for virtually any need. They effectively serve both my business and my home." -Albert V., Biddeford, Maine
"Once we started our project, we realized quickly that Gelinas HVAC stood above the rest; both in terms of knowledge and ability." – Sal and Alice W., South Portland, ME
"I had instructions from the owners of my business to go green with our new heating and air conditioning systems. We trusted Gelinas HVAC and 'my boss' could not be happier." – Andrew B., Cape Elizabeth, ME

For the venerable veterans logo redesign, we wanted to keep some concept of what veterans logos look like.
Essentially patches.
But we also wanted to add a touch of sophistication, as this logo was slated for veterans who are entering the legal field.
What we were given to work with are a short list of criteria that included the use of camouflage, the Drexel Dragon and making it look as mentioned above. After a few drafts – in the slideshow below – we think we go the right look at feel.
