MOST people join the navy with the expectation that they will be spending a lot of time on the high seas, but that can be tricky when you don't have any coastline.
Despite being landlocked, Bolivia in South America still has an operating navy — but for almost 140 years its 5000 sailors have been barred from entering the ocean.
During the War of the Pacific which ran from 1879 to 1884, Bolivia lost 240km of coastline to Chile, and since then their navy has been restricted to sailing the country's rivers and lakes.
The government established the Armada Boliviana in 1963, which consisted of four boats supplied by the US and about 1800 troops, and was later renamed the Bolivian Naval Force in 1966.
These days the Bolivian Navy is made up of a mixture of speed boats, tankers and other vessels cast off by China.
They trawl the country's Amazonian rivers and the 8370sq km of Lake Titicaca, delivering medical supplies to remote communities, fighting drug traffickers and responding to natural disasters.
"The fleet they keep is bruised and battered, and they'd be the first to admit they could probably do with some newer craft," Nick Ballon, a British photographer of Bolivian descent, told Wired.
Though they may not have the biggest naval force, Bolivia has never stopped trying to reclaim its coastline, with many of those serving remaining hopeful that they will one day get to sail on a Bolivian ocean.
Chile's win was seen as unjust due to the staging of one of the key battles that led to Bolivia's downfall.
In 1880, 11,000 men attacked the Bolivian and Peruvian garrisons at Ilo during Carnival, a very important tradition to the people of Bolivia.
There are claims that the country is still suffering from what was perceived as underhanded tactics by Chile.
The country is so focused on reclaiming what they lost, they remember it on March 23 each year on the Day of the Sea.
On this day, thousands of troops parade in their blue naval uniforms to songs such as We Will Recover Our Sea.
The country is so focused on reclaiming the ocean that it is even mentioned in the Bolivian Navy's motto.
Printed on the side of the naval base on Lake Titicaca is the phrase "El mar nos pertenece por derecho, recuperarlo es un deber", which translates to: "The sea belongs to us by right, recovering it is our duty."
"The ocean and its reclamation is still very much at the front of Bolivia's national psyche," Mr Ballon said.
Bolivia is the poorest country in South America, a position which the government blames on its landlocked position.
In 2010, Peru granted Bolivia some dock facilities — a tiny 3.6sq km patch on a 99-year lease where the country now sends through two-thirds of its trade.
The tiny sliver of coastline is a far cry from what they once had, but the Bolivian Navy won't be giving up their dream of sailing on the ocean once more.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) $13 billion investment reflects its ambitions to compete with Amazon and Microsoft
Alphabet Inc.'s Google announced Wednesday it will invest $13 billion in new data centers across the United States as it looks to continue expanding its cloud business.
"Today we're announcing over $13 billion in investments throughout 2019 in data centers and offices across the U.S., with major expansions in 14 states," CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post. Pichai said Google will hire tens of thousands of new employees for the operations, which expand Google's geographical footprint to 24 states, with data centers located in 13 different communities.
The money will be spent over the course of 2019, and will add data centers in Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Iowa.
The $13 billion represents over half of Google's capital expenditures for all of 2018, which totaled $25.1 billion. The investment highlights Google's intention to continue competing with cloud leaders Amazon Web Services, owned by Amazon.com Inc. , and Microsoft Corp's Azure.
Google also has a commitment to only purchase renewable energy and plans to only invest in "significant renewable energy investments in the U.S. as we grow," according to the blog post.
Alphabet's stock moved up 0.78% to $1,136.43 a share in afternoon trading Wednesday.
Overall, the bias in prices is: Upwards.
Note: this chart shows extraordinary price action to the upside.
By the way, prices are vulnerable to a correction towards 1,093.52.
The projected upper bound is: 1,184.72.
The projected lower bound is: 1,056.88.
The projected closing price is: 1,120.80.
A black body occurred (because prices closed lower than they opened).
During the past 10 bars, there have been 5 white candles and 5 black candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 21 white candles and 29 black candles for a net of 8 black candles.
Momentum Indicators
Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.
Stochastic Oscillator
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 46.0025. This is not an overbought or oversold reading. The last signal was a buy 1 period(s) ago.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 57.67. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a buy 83 period(s) ago.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is 77. This is not a topping or bottoming area. The last signal was a sell 4 period(s) ago.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a sell 2 period(s) ago.

Monthly Science: Well Pit Winter Minimum
Combining all the records so far into one giant lump:
Yes, the air temperature really did hover around freezing for two weeks in mid-February. If it didn't require hoisting a four-inch concrete slab with a rusted lift ring, I'd affix a logger to the copper water pipe running across the pit for some direct samples of the actual water temperature.
It hasn't ever frozen in the last half-century or so; I'm not going to start worrying now…

These 3 ingredient butter cookies are delightfully buttery and melt in your mouth! Made with just butter, icing sugar and flour, these make for the perfect Christmas Gift this Festive season.
watch the video:
There is something so comforting about eating cookies while sipping a hot beverage. Think a rich, indulgent hot chocolate, a cold winter afternoon and a book that has you transported into another world. Now imagine biting into some crisp, shortbread-like buttery cookies that melt in your mouth within seconds, all washed down with your hot cocoa! Sounds like the perfect winter afternoon to me! You can bring this imagination to life with these 3 ingredient butter cookies.
Making them could not be simpler! The only thing you need is a massive amount of patience. That's because although the cookie dough comes together in less than 10 minutes, it is recommended that you freeze the cookies after piping them. The duration could be a couple of hours or for best results, freezing them for an entire 24 hour period would ensure that your cookies retain their thick shape.
If you know me, you'd also know that I always run very low on patience. I hate waiting and while this is excellent in situations in which you'd usually procrastinate, it's clearly not the best when I was trying to make these 3 ingredient butter cookies! The result, as you can see, is a little flat and misshapen cookie. However, below you will find a photo of the same dough that was rested for 24 hours in the freezer! So, kids – here's your lesson, freeze the damn dough before baking!
The consistency of the cookie dough itself is very loose. This makes it very easy to pipe the dough onto your cookie sheet. Once you've done that, please freeze the dough! This will help the cookie keep its shape when it's baking in the oven. Although these are 3 ingredient butter cookies, you can customize these as you'd like. For instance, you could add a splash of vanilla or almond extract. You could also add some rose or orange blossom water. Zest a lemon or an orange and add a beautifully subtle citrus flavour to these cookies. The possibilities are absolutely endless.
These cookies make for the perfect Christmas present. Double or triple this recipe and arrange them in a metal tin, complete with a gift tag and a thoughtful Christmas card! How I love this festive season!
- 100 grams salted butter, room temperature
- 50 grams icing sugar
- 100 grams all purpose flour
- Cream butter using electric beaters on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until it gets pale and fluffy.
- Add the icing sugar and cream for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the flour and mix until just combined.
- Use a Wilton 1M or any piping tip you like.
- Pipe the dough into rosettes on a cookie tray lined with parchment sheet.
- Freeze overnight.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 8 - 9 minutes or until the sides go golden brown.
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing in airtight containers.

Sample Fundraising Letter
Dear [insert name here],
My summer plans are coming together, and I am very excited to be able to share them with you. I feel God is calling me to go beyond the boundaries of Jenison and Hager Park, to reach out to people around the world and share God's love. This summer, I will have an opportunity to live into that calling. From July 18 to 25, I will be serving with Paradise Bound Ministries as part of a 21-person mission team in Guatemala. Based in Michigan, Paradise Bound Ministries comes alongside the poorest and most needy people in Guatemala.
Our mission team will be working with Dan and Heidi Smith, who run Paradise Bound Ministries, on a variety of projects. Two days of our trip will be devoted to Village Impact Ministries. We will spend these days in two remote villages giving people life-saving medications. We will also take time during these days to get to know the people in the villages and share the love of Christ with them. During the rest of our trip, we will build a drywall-studded home for a poor family currently living in a cornstalk hut. We will also have the opportunity to help in the Open Doors Orphanage. I am so excited to go and serve the Lord by helping these people in a small but crucial way, and I can't wait to tell you about my experiences when I return!
There are two ways that you can help me as I prepare to serve in Guatemala.
- Pray for me. Please pray for God to give my team safe travel, the words to minister with, and giving and caring hearts. Your prayers are so crucial for this trip. As Oswald Chambers wrote, "Prayer does not equip us for greater works; it is the greater work."
- Offer financial support. If you feel called to support the work God is doing in Guatemala, please prayerfully consider mailing or giving me a donation. I am responsible for raising the $1,500 it costs to go on this trip to Guatemala. Your support will enable me to participate in this exciting opportunity. Checks should be made out to Hager Park Church. All contributions are tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes.
Taking part in a mission trip is an incredible spiritual experience. God continues to work in my heart after my trip to Guatemala last year. I know that many of you supported me then (thank you!), and you may be wondering why you should do so again. My past experience has only multiplied my desire to return there to serve and grow in Christ. There is still work that needs to be done in Guatemala, and I believe God is calling me to take part in that kingdom work.
Thank you so much for prayerfully considering a gift to enable my ministry in Guatemala to continue!
[Your name]

I like your Splendid Sampler blocks, the fabrics are lovely. I'm still working on the second block and seem to be having the same "problem" as you: the pieces are so tiny that even a very small scale print hides the butterfly wings. Still, like I said, your fabrics and colors are so lovely I don't really care. So I'll just finish mine, and maybe make another later, with plain fabric for the wings, or a bigger contrast... we'll see!

The Council of American-Islamic Relations has reported that Islamophobic abuse in the US, or hate crimes against Muslims, have risen by 91 percent in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the same time last year.
It is a dark truth that since the War on Terror made its debut in Operation Enduring Freedom, terrorism in the world has only increased. Localized, reactionary militias have now evolved into transnational entities that wish to subjugate the world under their repressive regimes and the fact that no country in the world is now immune to terrorism is testament to the rapid, global diffusion of radical ideologies. A simple factual analysis will show you that interventions on the basis of the War on Terror — military combating an ideology, has only added fuel to the fire of radical Islam. Fighting terrorism with guns is no longer a viable option. Observably the recent, 'liberation' of Mosul, Iraq is not cause for celebration. The new weapon that needs to be used for fighting terrorism is social reform. Academics across the world have stressed that military intervention has only strengthened terrorist organizations and that curtailing the effects of terrorism, without addressing its causes, will result in failure. Perhaps nothing I write will be different from what has already been written.
I do, however, hope to provide a broader picture to show that the future trajectory of terrorism and radicalization can only be curtailed by curtailing the recruitment mechanisms of terrorist entities. The New York Times recently published an article entitled Migrant Maids and Nannies for Jihad that reports on how social media is being used to radicalize maids working in Indonesia and Hong Kong. Interviews with several maids that ended up joining networks of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) revealed a consistent cycle that resulted in radicalization: dislocation from home and the resultant isolation of Muslims that are not welcome in the societies that they work in causes a "spiritual dryness" within them.
In the search to find purpose and association, these individuals turn to Islam for a spiritual awakening but since they are unaware of the right sources for engaging with Islam — those that display Islam as the peaceful and tolerant religion that it truly is — they end up deriving information from radical Salafist sources. This ensues cause for concern about Muslims in Syria and Iraq, but their sources of information propagate a wrongful course of action, to eliminate this concern, that is not only inhumane and disgusting, but is also against the very fundamentals of Islam: terrorism.
Unaware of Islam's blatant denial of terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians as a response to the plight of Muslims, socially isolated maids and nannies find their spiritual purpose in making innocent people pay for the situation created by ISIS itself— by terrorizing their nations in the name of Islam. Terrorism is the last stage in this process— it does not stem from animosity towards the west or from the true teachings of Islam; terrorism is caused by social deprivation. It is this social deprivation that we must eradicate if terrorism is to be defeated.
A very apt analysis of how radicalization is caused by relative socioeconomic deprivation lies in a paper published by the Brookings Institute:
Absolute deprivation is not the real challenge. The more challenging question, particularly in the Arab world, is relative deprivation: the absence of opportunities relative to expectations. Such focus on relative deprivation is important because poverty is no longer an absolute concept in the context of globalization. Globalization creates an acute awareness about opportunities available elsewhere. This leads to frustration, victimization, and humiliation among growing cohorts of urbanized, undereducated, and unemployed Muslim youth who are able to make comparisons across countries
This paper was published in 2009. Three more wars against terror have subsequently taken place (Yemen, Syria, and Iraq) and all three have left their respective countries in conditions that are worse than the pre-war conditions. What I am immensely troubled by — and what most writers tend to avoid saying for its lack of political correctness — is the fact that the grievances of individuals that end up being radicalized, especially those in the western world, are valid. This, in any way, does not mean that their means of expressing these grievances are valid. The causes of terrorism, however, are not arbitrary creations or façades created by ISIS; they are grounded in reality. With the run up to, and the election of Donald Trump as the president of the United States, animosity towards Muslims in the US has increased immensely.
The Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has reported that Islamophobic abuse in the US, or hate crimes against Muslims, have risen by 91 percent in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the same time last year. The Independent has also reported that Trump's air-bombing campaign has resulted in as many civilian deaths in Iraq as the deaths under the entirety of Obama's tenure as president.
Speaking of air-bombing campaigns, this article by The Atlantic that explains why carpet-bombing ISIS will not work— adding to the list of the now uncountable, 'mistakes' of the US in the War on Terror that some general will later admit to (read: the invasion of Iraq in 2003. If one is being increasingly marginalized by a state, whose government has also been accidentally bombing one's fellow peaceful and innocent Muslims for almost two decades, will one not feel frustrated, angry, and vengeful towards that state?
Now that my name has probably been placed on a terrorist watch list, let me attempt to suggest a way to put an end to this viscous cycle of the production of terrorists. One example to be followed is that of Italy. The Italian government has started using Imams vetted to have moderate views to preach moderate Islam to Muslim inmates in Italian prisons. These prisoners are primarily told not to hate non-Muslims and that they are, "100 percent citizens with rights and duties". This preventative measure has been immensely successful in curtailing the radicalization of individuals that have developed animosity towards the state. Why this method is successful is very aptly summarized by a 35-year old Tunisian inmate, who said:
If I am praying, I am not cooking up ideas to harm others on the outside.
What is more important, however, is that Muslims that are at a risk of radicalization due to ostracization are integrated into their respective societies.
Sarah Lyons-Padilla, a Stanford social psychology expert conducted research on the radicalization of Muslims in the US and her findings unwavering proved that individuals that felt better integrated into society were better protected against radicalization. She suggests including young, "culturally homeless" immigrants in American culture whilst ensuring that they are not forced to discard their own culture, curbing discrimination against Muslims, and, "fostering out a sense of purpose" for such individuals in socially adaptive ways. Essentially, her report stresses on the fact that Muslims in the US must be taught, and allowed to adopt American culture in their own unique ways, that is, they must be taught how to nuance the diffusion of their own culture with American culture so that they feel the society is, 'theirs' and that they are part of it; not that the society is out to get them.
This also means that society must be accepting of the cultural and religious practices of Muslims — when there are shootings at mosques or protests with extremely offensive slogans outside the houses of Muslims, no Muslim with any self-actualization will feel positively towards the deliverers of such heinous acts.
It is now high time that the, 'champions of freedom' and the wagers of the War of Terror realize that this is not a battle of guns. The terrorist acts of entities such as ISIS are the end product of a much deeper ideological current. Unfortunately, the motivators for this current are grounded in reality. Muslims must be made to feel part of the western societies that they live in, as is their right. As Lyons-Padilla correctly claims:
If the United States does not do a better job of including Muslims, the militant organization [ISIS] will.

Friends' funniest fashion moments
It's official, a Friends reunion is happening. 12 years after the sitcom's finale and following reams of rumour and speculation, it's been confirmed that the cast will reunite for a two-hour special. As part of a tribute to James Burrows, who recently shot his 1,000th television episode (15 of which were episodes of Friends) David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow will take part in a one-off, airing on US network NBC on Sunday, 21 February. To celebrate, sit back and relive the finest fashion moments on the much-loved comedy.
1. The one where Ross and Chandler look like they're in Miami Vice
It's Thanksgiving 1988 and Ross and Chandler think they're so cool and mature in their Don Johnson suits, rolled up sleeves and gelled mullets. However, what Chandler doesn't know is that he's about to lose a toe thanks to a lethal combination of a large kitchen knife and some 'righteous' basket-weave sandals. NOT cool.
2. The one where Joey puts on all of Chandler's clothes
When Chandler and Joey have a squabble over a chair, things escalate until Chandler hides all Joey's underwear to annoy him. In retaliation, Joey puts on everything Chandler owns and starts doing lunges (after revealing that he's 'commando'). "Look at me, I'm Chandler. Could I BE wearing any more clothes?"
3. The one with the iconic haircut
The haircut that launched a million copycats all over the world. But Jennifer Aniston revealed in a 2011 interview that she actually hated 'The Rachel', telling Allure magazine, "How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen."
4. The one where Monica gets braids
On a trip to Barbados, the humidity gets the better of Monica's mane, so to combat her Diana Ross frizz she gets her hair braided into corn rows with shells on the end. "What do you know? It's a treat for the eyes and the ears!" quips Chandler.
5. The one where Ross can't get his leather pants back on
Ross decides to wear leather trousers on a date with his new, young girlfriend Elizabeth, but it all goes wrong when he goes to the bathroom and he calls Joey for help...
6. The one with the Ralph Lauren cameo
Phoebe pops in to see Rachel at work at Ralph Lauren HQ and tells her that she just made out with Ralph Lauren in the copy room. It turns out to be Kenny, the copy boy, but one thing leads to another and soon everyone at work thinks Rachel has made out with Ralph to further her career.
7. The one where Ross does Rachel's make-up for her
Rachel has to go to her boss's house for an important dinner but can't do her own make-up because she's hurt her ribs. Ross to the rescue with some dubious make-up artistry...
8. The one with Ross's fake tan fail
Jealous of Monica's spray tan, Ross goes to get one, only makes a total mess of the automatic booth ending up getting sprayed twice at the front. When he goes back to patch up the back, the same thing happens again leaving him looking like Valentino and David Dickinson's love child.
9. The one where Joey starts dating a supermodel
Joey finally gets it on with his 'hot dancer' room-mate played by Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson. It's a short lived romance, however, when she reveals she can't stand his boring friends.
10. The one with Monica and Rachel's prom night flashback
You can't beat a fat Monica and pre-nosejob Rachel flashback. It's prom night and Rachel thinks she's been stood up. In that dress? As if!
11. The one where Ross tries to get at Rachel by taking back the t-shirt he gave her
Ross and Rachel have split and during a squabble over whose stuff belongs to who, Ross stakes a claim for the Frankie Say Relax T-shirt he bought Rachel. To prove how much it means to him, he puts it on. Nice look Ross...
12. The one where Joey gets an eyebrow wax
Joey has to get his eyebrows waxed for a big audition, but chickens out after one because it's too painful. Luckily Chandler's childhood spent with his cross-dressing cabaret star father means he has the skills to finish the job.
13. The one where Monica's really expensive boots are too painful to walk in
We've all been there. You spend too much money on a pair of shoes you love, only to discover that they cripple your feet. Monica spent so much on her boots, she can't admit to Chandler that they even hurt.
14. The one where Phoebe freaks out Chandler by showing him her bra
After Phoebe rumbles Monica and Chandler's secret relationship she decides to have some fun with Chandler by trying to seduce him so he'll have to admit the truth.
15. The one where Joey gets a man bag
Joey wants to look great for an audition so Rachel talks him into getting a fashionable 'man bag'. Fifteen years ago this was unheard of, so much so that Joey didn't get the part because of his bag.
16. The one where Rachel is the world's tackiest bridesmaid
Rachel foolishly agrees to be maid of honour at her ex-fiancé Barry and Mindy's wedding, but manages to steal the show by walking up the aisle with her butt showing at the back of her Barbie pink milkmaid meringue dress.
17. The one with the handbag marinara
Monica and Rachel have a major fight after Rachel agrees to a date with Jean-Claude van Damme after going up to him to tell him how much Monica likes him. After Monica pulls a thread on Rachel's favourite 'third date' sweater to get revenge, Rachel pours marinara sauce into Monica's handbag.
18. The one where Joey gets Porsched up
Joey finds keys to a Porsche and when he notices that he gets a lot of attention when he stands next to it, decides to really hammer the point home by kitting himself out with as much Porsche merch as possible. Nice fanny pack!
19. The one where Rachel meets her new boyfriend's parents in her negligee
Rachel finally gets Joshua alone at his parents' house, only they come back from their holiday early and catch Rachel in her negligee. Rachel tries to pass it off as a new sample from Bloomingdale's and ends up going out for dinner with Joshua's parents wearing just her underwear.
20. The one with all the wedding dresses
Monica and Phoebe go to collect Emily's wedding dress from the bridal store and get carried away with the romance of it all, prompting a pregnant Phoebe to buy a second-hand gown to cheer herself up. Eventually the three girls get dressed up in wedding gowns for a night at home which goes awry when Rachel's new boyfriend arrives unannounced.
21. The one where Phoebe poshes up to meet Mike's parents
Bohemian Phoebe doesn't want her prospective in-laws to know about her past, so reinvents herself as a British upper class lady in a twinset, pearls and Alice band.
22. The one where Julia Roberts tricks chandler into wearing her underwear
Chandler can't believe his luck when he hooks up with his former classmate played by Julia Roberts. Only she is keeping a secret - Chandler bullied her at school and she's only going out with him to get her revenge. After persuading Chandler to wear her lace 'panties' out to dinner, she invites him into the bathroom so they can make out. Once Chandler is wearing nothing but her underwear, she runs out, taking his clothes with her...
23. The one where Phoebe gives Monica a terrible haircut

24. The one where the boys have a girl's night in
The girls come home early to find the boys tending to their T-zones while they watch the game.
25. The one with the Princess Leia fantasy
Ross confides to Rachel that he has a Return Of The Jedi-themed sexual fantasy about Princess Leia in her gold bikini. When Rachel makes his wish come true, it's ruined by Chandler's admission that he can't help thinking about his mother when he's having sex, and Rachel's face turns in to Judy Geller's.
26. The one with the Thanksgiving pants
Joey bets he can eat every last bit of the 19lb Thanksgiving turkey. When he runs out of space (and gets the 'meat sweats') he puts of Rachel's stretchy maternity pants to help.
27. The one where Phoebe's boyfriend doesn't wear underwear
Phoebe has a new boyfriend who is perfect except for one thing - he doesn't wear underwear. To make matters worse, he insists on wearing shorts and every time he sits down, the Friends get an eyeful. Eventually Gunter cracks and tells him to "put the mouse back in the house".
28. The one with Ross's pashmina and the 'apartment pants'
Trying to cover up Rachel's sister Jill's reckless spending, Ross and Phoebe try to pass off all her shopping as their own.
29. The one with Monica's mega- boobs
An interview at Moondance Diner quickly turns Monica into a laughing stock, as she has to cook and sing while wearing a blonde wig, enormous fake breasts and roller skates. Unfortunately, the chef has to take the job as she loses all of the 127 dollars sitting in her account on the literal stock market
30. The one where Joey gets a job as a perfume cowboy
Irritated that Hombre, the new rival cowboy and perfume spritzer at work, is stealing his territory and customers, Joey gets his own Western costume and challenges Hombre to a fragrance showdown. Joey triumphs as his macho counterpart squirts a shopper in the eye with his scent.
31. The one where Phoebe falls for fur
Phoebe is sent a family heirloom, which unfortunately turns out to be a mink fur coat. Battling with her morals and the fact it looks darn good, she faces confrontation with a squirrel she thinks is judging her. "Stop tormenting me! This is mink! Okay, they're mean! And they hate squirrels! And y'know, okay, most of these probably wanted to be coats!"
32. The one with bald Bonnie
When Phoebe asks Rachel if she can set up Ross with her friend Bonnie, Rachel agrees under the knowledge that Bonnie is bald. When Bonnie arrives for the Friends' weekend at the beach with a full head of luscious locks, Rachel coaxes her into reaching for the razor again. Ross's subsequent face says it all.
33. The one where Ross gets bad fashion advice from Rachel
In need of style advice, Rachel and Phoebe take Ross shopping. The bags get mixed up and pre-date Ross picks a pink patterned shirt out of his bag. Though Joey attempts to tell him it's a woman's sweater, Ross heads off to his date only to realise he is wearing exactly the same top as his lady friend. Both depart, awkwardly.

FAIRBORN — In a tournament filled with two days marquee contests and must-see matches, one ranked right near the top.
In the 138-pound finals of the Greater Miami Valley Wrestling Association Holiday Tournament, Covington's Ryan Ford took on Graham's Brent Moore in a battle for the ages. Both have placed multiple times at state — Ford has placed third each of the past two seasons in Division III, while Moore has placed third, second and won a state title in Division II last year.
Both will be wrestling at Division I colleges next season, with Ford going to Cleveland State and Moore going to Virginia Tech.
Ultimately, Moore got the better of his Miami County counterpart, picking up a hotly contested 6-4 victory in a match that wasn't decided until the very end.
Ford was one of nine county wrestlers to place in the tournament. Teammate Lance Miller (160 pounds) also placed second, while Troy Christian's Jacob Edwards (106) and Michael Sergent (120) both placed fourth, Covington's Connor Ryan (113) and Tippecanoe's Logan Ferrell (285) both placed fifth and Troy Christian's Drew Whaley (113), Covington's Gage DeHart (152) and Troy's Davin Snyder (182) all placed eighth.
Ford was dominant throughout the early stages of the tournament, winning his first three matches with a major decision and two pins. After winning 9-3 in the quarterfinals, he defeated defending Kentucky state champion Logan Erdman of Ryle High School 8-3 in the semifinals to earn his match against Moore.
Miller — who was seeded sixth in the tournament — won his first three matches with a pair of pins and a technical fall. In the quarterfinals, he upset No. 3-seed Zach Bowman of Hartley, 8-4, before beating Pickering Central's Shota Sisco by major decision, 19-7, in the semifinals. In the championship match, Graham's Garrett Jordan defeated Miller 11-3.
Edwards took a bye through the first round, then won three matches with first-period pins to reach the semifinals. Graham's Jordan Crace defeated Edwards 5-1 in the semifinals. Edwards won his consolation semifinal match by pin, then fell 8-4 to West Branch's Christian Wayt in the match for third place.
Like Edwards, Sergent took a bye through the first round, then won his next three matches — all with pins in the first period — to reach the semifinals. In the semis, Northmont's Chase Craft pulled out a 6-4 sudden victory win over Sergent to reach the finals. In the consolation semifinals, Sergent won 3-2 before falling 5-1 to Walton-Verona's Ryan Moore in the match for third place.
Ryan — unseeded entering the tournament — got all the way to the semifinals with a 5-2 win and a pair of pins. After falling in the semifinals, Ryan lost in the consolation semifinals, but took fifth place by forfeit when his opponent was unable to compete.
Ferrell reached the semifinals by pinning all of his first three opponents, all in the first period. After falling in the semifinals, he lost both his consolation matches — one by two points and one by a single point — to finish in fifth place.
Whaley got to the quarterfinals via a bye, a 9-2 decision and a first-period pin. After losing the quarterfinals, he won his first consolation match by default, then dropped the next two to finish in eighth place.
DeHart made his way to the quarterfinals by opening with a bye, pinning his next opponent and winning a 7-3 decision. After winning his first consolation match by a 5-1 decision, he lost his next two to finish in eighth place.
Snyder — who was unseeded — was impressive in his first two matches, winning by a first-period pin and a major decision to earn a spot in the quarterfinals. After losing in the quarterfinals, he gutted out a 9-8 win in his first consolation match before ultimately dropped his next two matches to finish in eighth place.

35B flies off the QE for the first time
35B flies off the QE for the first time
Human Scum. Proud Never Trumper
The RN has started tests on rolling landings:
video article
Anyone knows if the USMC is trying this as well?
As far as I know the Harrier can't do a rolling stop, or at least I've never heard of it being a normal practice for any operator. The only advantage of this technique is bring back weight, and in the case of F-35B I'd have thought you could dump fuel into the reheat if you really needed to lighten your load. But if you have the space to do it and the flight control system allows for it without a significantly greater degree of danger, then it makes sense. The F-35B is apparently vastly easier to handle than a harrier.
Actually since I posted that, others have indicated on another forum that rolling stops are used for short field strips, just not on ships. Apparently it is practiced for emergencies where the nozzles won't swivel fully and is difficult because the nose gear is actually longer than the main gear, so they say. But I haven't found a verifiable source to confirm that.
The far left Cassandras are out in force:
I would call it shouting into someone's own leg )))
Video of how the roll on landing is done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP0rUkDz_Fg

Ladies 1a's
End of Season Report
The Wimbledon Ladies 1a's have had a trying season with a very inconsistent team week to week due to injuries and holidays affecting our selection however when all is said and done, the Wimbo 1as managed to maintain a respectable (and hard fought) mid-table place.
We have a number of members of the team who started with us as juniors and who have grown into fully fledged members of the squad (we have all shed a tear to how fast they grow up!... SOB!). There are a couple of members of the team who are leaving us for the big wide world of university, some who are leaving for pastures new, and some who are simply taking a hockey hiatus next season in order for their hearing to regenerate after too much time surrounded by excitable, squealing juniors!
There have been a number of highlights this season amongst the annoying defeats and bleep tests; Story-time with Felly, the high quality of baked products (generally speaking!), the new skills learned, the times where we've dug deep together as a team, the extraordinary side line support (dogs and all!), The Dog & Fox night (… need we say more), and most importantly the friendships which we have formed.
Special mention must go to: Tina who has steered the sometimes wobbly ship well this year and who against all odds managed to stay out of trouble, for most of the season... ; self-sacrificing coaches who readily offer up their hamstrings for injury during overly enthusiastic demonstrations who are hard to come by, and even harder to come by are coaches and captains who will house the stinky goalie kit in their home!
The season may not have turned out as we'd necessarily hoped league position-wise but we've certainly ended up a stronger, closer team and the laughs alone have made up for all of the rest.
Thank you to all of the players who have made this season so enjoyable. To those of you who won't be with us next season, we wish you well. Please stay in touch and come back to WHC one day!

What are the network security risks of streaming video?
Streaming video and audio sites are frequently visited on both home computers and work computers. Learn about streaming video security risks and what to do to protect your client's network.
Functionally, there isn't a big network security risk with streaming video or audio itself, but there are inherent risks with having the UDP ports open on your firewall to allow the streaming. And there's a host of security vulnerabilities in the technology that enables the streaming, such as buffer overflow vulnerabilities on Microsoft IIS servers running Windows Media Services on older Windows 2000 machines.
Your client also needs to be aware of performance issues that may arise from the bandwidth volume. Streaming video and audio is much better behaved than it used to be, but it still drains resources. For these reasons, your client needs to determine whether video and audio are important tools to help achieve the company's objectives, and whether to devote bandwidth and security resources to the process.
If the client doesn't need streaming audio or video to conduct or further business, and their employees are doing this for entertainment, they should think about not allowing it on a policy level. As a rule, company computing resources are to be used for company business, and any other use should require a needs analysis and a change in policy.

New Zealand spends about $18 billion on energy every year and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) estimates that 20% of this is waste.
In anyone's language that is a lot of waste … $3.6 billion, in fact.
If the New Zealand economy was a business, accountants and efficiency experts would be targeting that $3.6 billion.
While the recent media attention on this sector has focused on cheap loans for domestic solar initiatives, the economic value of this is far from certain. Any Government action within this sector should be focussed on something with a greater certainty of payback.
The EECA estimates that businesses and Government consume around 70% of our total energy. This highlights the large economic energy efficiency potential in the business sector, mostly within the largest 200 energy-using organisations.
There is an opportunity for the Government in this space. Firstly, the barriers around the lack of information about opportunities, lack of organisational capability and lack of available funding within organisations, even for fast payback projects, need to be addressed.
The Budget is an obvious starting point. The first target should be to increase funding and other assistance to help ensure the potential gains are realised for the largest 200 energy-using organisations. Given the large number of SMEs in New Zealand, the Government could also look at ways provide assistance to these smaller businesses.
Renewable energy is another key area the Government should be considering (as long as the economic value adds up).
We are pretty well off in this area. In 2012 renewable energy made up 37% of New Zealand's Total Primary Energy Supply, which is high by international standards, the third highest in the OECD, against a global average of only 16%. New Zealand is well ahead of the EU in this regard where they are targeting 27% renewables by 2030.
The catch with renewables is that they're a long-term investment and it takes time for their impact on the economy to be seen. Government incentives would help bridge the gap between the near-term investment cycle and the longer-term return. As an example, the UK Government has offered a price of £155 ($250) per megawatt hour for offshore wind energy which is around three times the current wholesale price of electricity in the UK.
Electricity demand at the moment in New Zealand is flat, but the ever-strengthening economy will put pressure on this sector. When you consider that we are wasting 20% of our energy, any assistance in the Budget, that also has a focus on economically viable, renewable energy, will pay strong dividends in both the near and far future.

The name Dayrell reached English shores for the first time with the ancestors of the Dayrell family as they migrated following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Dayrell family lived in Buckinghamshire. They were originally from Airel, in La Manche, Normandy, and it is from the local form of this name, D'Airel, meaning from Airel, that their name derives.
"William de Orrell, a gentleman of the north parts of Normandie, soe called of a castle and family of that countrie, the which came in with the Conqueror, being for his good services done in he North... endowed with the possessions of a Saxon called Etheldred of Broadsworth, an ancient seat twelve miles west of Yorke." Such is the statement attached to an old pedigree quoted in Burke's Commoners. [1]
The surname Dayrell was first found in Buckinghamshire where this ancient and noble family of Norman descent came over with the Conqueror and seated themselves at Lillingstone before the year 1200.
"Richard son of Elais Dayrell being seised of a messuage and half of knight's fee there in King Richard the First's time, or the beginning of King John's reign. Before 1306 the Dayrells became possessed of the fee of the manor, which has ever since continued in the family." [2]
The Dyarells of Shudy Camps in Cambridgeshire are a younger branch of the family descending from the second son of Paul Dayrell of Lillinstone, Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1579. The parish of Horkstow in Lincolnshire "contains a family vault for the Darells, formerly owners of property in the parish." [3]
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Dayrell research. Another 235 words (17 lines of text) covering the years 1415, 1539, 1589, 1560, 1589, 1450, 1491, 1465, 1530, 1529, 1513, 1556, 1539, 1589, 1572, 1563, 1651, 1721 and 1845 are included under the topic Early Dayrell History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Anglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled Darrell, Dorrell, Dayrell, Darrel, Darell, Darel and others.
Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Elizabeth Darrell, the first wife of John Seymour (c. 1450-1491), and paternal grandmother of Queen Jane Seymour; Sir Edward Darrell (c. 1465-1530), of Littlecote, Wiltshire, an English politician, Member of the Parliament for Wiltshire in 1529; Elizabeth Darrell (born c. 1513-c. 1556 ), the long-term mistress and muse of Sir Thomas Wyatt, they...

Because of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Dayrell name or one of its variants: John Darrell who settled in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1637 and moved to Salem; Moses and Mary Darrell settled in Virginia in 1654; William Darrell settled in Virginia in 1643.

Whyalla Diving Service dive shop is located at 33b Playford Ave, WHYALLA SA 5600.
The Dive Shop is open Monday to Friday 9am-6pm, and Saturday and Sunday 8am to 6pm. Access from the parking areas at the rear of our premises is available also.
We have been operating this business since 1984. (At the current location since 2002).
We offer a full range of recreational diving services including sales and service, training, air fills , hydrostatic tank testing, resort dives, charters and trips. We also provide nitrox fills for qualified divers for $12.
We also offer a full range of hire equipment including everything needed to see the amazing cuttlefish aggregation which occurs in the waters of Point Lowly and Black Point, a short 20 minute drive north of the town of Whyalla.
The aggregation of the Giant Australian Cuttlefish, sepia apama, occurs late April or early May to late August early September annually.
The shallow, sheltered waters along the peninsula allow easy shore access to see one of the most spectacular marine events anywhere. While the visibility is generally good at this time of year, the waters can range from 16 degrees C, down to a chilly 11 degrees C.
This means that divers and snorkelers need to equip themselves with the correct divewear to get the most out of the experience. For most visitors this will mean dive boots and fins, a body liner (full length undergarment), adequate wetsuit, gloves, hood, mask and snorkel, and a weight belt (optional for snorkelers). Dive socks and vests offer extra protection for those who feel the cold, and dry suits can provide full protection.
Scuba divers will need a buoyancy vest, regulator and tanks in addition to the scuba gear mentioned above.
Whyalla Diving Services has a full range of the latest equipment, in good condition and well maintained and serviced. We can (and have) catered for larger groups of up to one hundred divers. We can also cater for younger divers and snorkelers. We can usually provide for everyone, with notice.
We can also provide guides for groups who want to have their visit organized and conducted by our certified and friendly staff. Many of our visitors want to experience the spectacular cuttlefish aggregation on scuba. We offer dives for unqualified divers, conducted on an
individual basis by a dive instructor, to a maximum depth of 10m. (Resort Dives.)
Diving with the Giant Cuttlefish is generally done from shore, and there are many access points along the six kilometers of coastline where the cuttlefish aggregate. This diving access is free and unrestricted. Divers are asked however, to observe the cuttlefish diving guidelines which are shown on this website.
There is also an obligation to protect the environment by attending to your litter, taking due care entering and leaving the water at the various dive sites to minimize our footprint, and ensuring that we have minimal impact on the Cuttlefish and their eggs.
Whyalla Diving can provide boat access by boat charter if required – (often requested by film crews, scientists and environmentalists, and anyone who prefers the ease and the convenience of a boat dive.)
The business has been owned and operated by Tony and Marlene Bramley for the past 33 years.
We try to cater for most diving needs, and to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience during your visit.
Call - 0886458050 for information and updates – come in and have a chat. Tea and coffee are usually available, although it can get a bit crowded at times during the cuttlefish season.

An Austin-based developer is looking to make an even bigger Ruckus in West Campus.
Lincoln Ventures, the company behind The Ruckus, says the year-old student housing project has been such a success that it's planning a companion property, The Ruckus 2.0.
Construction started this month and work is expected to be done in time for the fall 2019 semester at the University of Texas.
The Ruckus 2.0, at 2401 Rio Grande St., will rise seven stories, with 67 units with a total of 239 beds, Lincoln Ventures said.
"With The Ruckus, our goal was to introduce a new way of living in the student housing industry," David Kanne, president of Lincoln Ventures, said in a written statement. "Now we know the demand is there and The Ruckus 2.0 will allow more students to live in this sophisticated environment."
The Ruckus, at 2502 Nueces St., is 100 percent leased, according to Lincoln Ventures. It has 45 units with a total of 160 beds.
Each unit at The Ruckus 2.0 will be fully furnished with cable and high-speed internet, as well as a washer and dryer.
Common areas will feature a number of amenities including a cyber café, round-the-clock study lounges, a package concierge and secured access. A "sky gym" and terrace are planned for the building's seventh floor.
"We want the very best for our residents and the location, amenities and modern design all underscore that philosophy," Kanne said. "After receiving such positive feedback on the original Ruckus, we were excited when the site at 24th and Rio Grande became available. We knew this was the right location for our next project."
The site selected for The Ruckus 2.0 had previously been occupied by a small strip center.
Lincoln Ventures said it is using the same development team it used for The Ruckus to build its latest project.
"This is a stout team and we couldn't be more excited about using the same group to deliver The Ruckus 2.0," Kanne said. "Our last project together ran smoothly and opened without delay. We're hoping for a similar outcome this time around."
The Ruckus and The Ruckus 2.0 are two of many mid-rise and high-rise student housing projects that have flooded the West Campus area since the Austin City Council upped density limits in the area in an effort to encourage more students to live near the UT campus. Others include University House, Skyloft, Aspen Heights West Campus and The Corner.

Tambo Planting
We will be planting at the Tambo this Saturday from 8am We have permission from Simon Eyre to plant at the Tambo on the banks next to the pathway – as long as we use all the same plants. Which will be the variegated flax which came from the high school – or possibly the astelia – depends which we have most of. So from 8am we will be digging up, splitting and sorting plants and setting them out ready for re-planting. Linda Powell (John Hartley's daughter) has arranged her church group to assist with planting They arrive from 10.30-12.30 Anyone available to help can arrive anytime from 8am-12 If we finish early, there is then the planting area around the cabbage tree on the Beach St/Stafford St corner that needs to be dug out and planted. And yes, light rain is forecast – so wear appropriate clothing
Colin Adams Valedictory Ceremony 13/03/2017
Jim Butzbach attended Colin Adams' Valedictory Ceremony on behalf of the club yesterday He will be providing a report but has asked for all club members to receive a copy of the dedication written by Marg and Stephanie that was read out at the ceremony
Colin George Adams – aka CASH or Grizz
Sadly Hokitika has lost one of it's "Good Bastards." This may sound harsh, but on the West Coast it is a prestigious title that not all deserve.
Colin lived on this earth for 79 years. He was a son, uncle, husband, father grandfather and a loyal mate and loved by many.
Colin joined the Hokitika Lions Club back in 2006 with the intention of being helpful and do some socializing at the same time.
For 10 years he served the people of Hokitika as a member of our Lions club, he loved getting in and helping with the projects.
Colin's role with our club was Den Keeper. This suited him and his personality. He loved to potter with things, sort things, fix things, clean things, hoard things, weld things, he like to keep busy.
Colin was adamant that he did not wish to go up the official ranks of Lions, he was happy and felt at home in the den.
He was a 'team player' when the weather was suitable he joined with the team of 'wood man' gathering, splitting fire wood for fundraising projects. During the hours spent at the yard, many stories were shared, many jokes and much light hearted 'banter 'amongst the team.
He helped gather dead car/truck batteries which were collected to be recycled, this enabled much of the same team of Lion's blokes get together and make a difference to the environment as well as making more money for club funds.
Colin was a member of the "Black Powder" Club, he had a passion for old guns and making noises with cannons etc. Last October he prepared Hokitika's iconic cannon in readiness for firing off as part of the towns 150th celebrations.
Colin also served two deployments for his country during the Malaysia emergency, during the years 57-59 and 61-63. He was a member of the Hokitika RSA and had a good group of mates that he enjoyed to share more stories over a cold beer at the end of a busy week.
Tambo Ramp
The gravel has been delivered to site
Pete Nancekivell starts today with shaping and tidying – specifications as per council
Jeff Evans Plumbers has cut the new access point
Jim Butzbach will start today repairing the old access point on the sea side
Crowleys will be asked to view the site and have input into where the anchor gets put
Rob Daniel is shaping the wooden bollards we'll be using to increase the height of the wall around the deck to meet current safety requirements (1.1m barrier needed, it's currently 700mm)
Daryl Crocker has a ships wheel which he is making climate proof
The wooden name plates are being repaired at WIHP
The wooden frame is being repaired and repainted – Jim Butzbach
Photo shows current view from Southside – still a concrete boat on the horizon
Also photo of new access point and ramp and the cut to the concrete
Tambo Update – Access Reinstated
The Tambo is a joint Heritage Hokitika – Lions project started in 1993. The access is an urgent issue with tourists and local climbing onto the structure using logs as 'ladders' – this does have significant liability issues for Heritage Hokitika, Lions and council. Council has therefore asked that the access be reinstated a.s.a.p. by the groups responsible for the project. Paul (Tanka) Davidson from Dept of Conservation produced 2 access options for the Tambo First option a large wooden structure (high cost) Second option shown in attached drawing – a gravel pathway leading to the boat on the RIVER side This will mean making a new entrance way and closing the original entrance Tanka also pointed out that the 700mm height of the wall above the deck height is 400mm too low based on current building regulations This has been confirmed by the building department and a plan approved – this involves wooden bollards inside the boat with rope between the bollards as shown in attached sketch The attached drawing represents the project plan given approval by council staff and mayor Last year the club approved $1000 towards redoing the access – Pete Nancekivell never invoiced us for his interrupted work. The mayor has arranged various companies to donate dirt. WestRoads will donate gravel for the pathway Henry Adams will donate top soil suitable for planting (from Patterson dig-out) for the sloping sides which will also be planted using plants from the high school (planting date will be advised once the pathway is in place) Pete Nancekivell will do the actual work with his business safety plans etc. Club to cover costs with already agreed $1000 Jeff Evans Plumbers will cut the new access into the concrete once the pathway is in place – donated Rob Daniel (Heritage Hokitika) will redo the areas of rotten wooden in the surround and prepare the wooden bollards for insertion – he has asked for Lions help with the actual installation Jim Butzbach has removed the rusted flag pole and other items to start preparing them for repainting. He is also willing to apply another layer of mortar to repair the concrete where the wire is exposed or concrete otherwise damaged.
Oscar Bottom Cenotaph
Heritage Hokitika Inc, in association with the Hokitika Westland Returned & Services Association, request the pleasure of your members' company for the re-dedication of the Oscar Bottom cenotaph, in recognition of your assistance in fundraising for this project.
The event will take place at Stafford Cemetery, 12 kms north of Hokitika on Saturday 12th November 2016 at 11:00 am.
Due to the very limited parking available at the cemetery site we request that attendees who are able to walk up the hill to park along one side of Stafford Loop Rd at the base of the hill and walk up. Should anyone have mobility problems we will provide transfers or a mobility parking space if we are informed ahead of time.
The unveiling ceremony will be followed by refreshments at the new RSA club rooms, Sewell St, Hokitika.
Please send your RSVP response, with numbers for catering purposes, by 28th October 2016.
Rehanging the Gates
WIHP has received permission from WDC to proceed with the repair of the grave surrounds at Stafford Cemetery. If you're available to help tighten nuts and bolts and hold bits of machinery on Sunday 31 August from 9am – the help would be appreciated. There is also a possibility that the gates will be hung as well – they should be back from Gray Bros today and then just need to be painted. This assumes it's just showers and not torrential rain on Sunday …..
Linda Dyzel has just transferred $1484.00 to the LifePod fundraiser – money from sale of the recycled paper cards – an outstanding effort You will recall that she suggested the fundraiser August last year and the club adopted the project – with some delays caused by the wheelchair van project. It appears that the Film Festival made over $700 ($456.40 from the activities and $287 from ticket sales) and the raffle run in conjunction with the festival $868.20 Once we have all of the money banked from the various fundraisers, will send you the total amount raised – which we will then challenge other clubs to match .

After my experience with Delta Airlines a few weeks ago I did what I could only do – I complained about it and I blogged about it. I wrote a complaint to Delta Airlines and also submitted that same complaint to the Department of Transportation as well as Airsafe.com. In addition I spoke with the corporate travel person at the company where I work. I figured the best I could get was the satisfaction that I at least complained. Boy was I wrong.
About a week after I filed my complaint I received an e-mail from Delta Airlines apologizing for the problems I encountered on the flight. As compensation Delta was refunding me (or, more precisely, my company) the cost of the original itinerary to Spokane, WA. The next day I received an e-mail with a letter attached from Delta Customer Service again. This time, however, they indicated that they had received a notification from the Aviation Consumer Protection Division over at the Department of Transportation regarding my complaint. As a remedy for the problems I encountered, Delta was now refunding both the original itinerary to Spokane as well as the ticket I had to purchase to return home to DC from Detroit that night and they were awarding me 9500 SkyMiles points as well. I felt happy at that point since I had achieved my goal of getting both tickets refunded as I didn't believe that my company should have had to pay for either the original itinerary (since I never made it to Spokane) as well as the ticket to return to DC (since I wouldn't have been in Detroit if Delta had been able to fulfill my original travel itinerary).
The topping to this whole thing came on Friday when the Delta Airlines account manager for my company's account called me and apologized for the whole situation and gave me a voucher for $400 for any flight in the continental United States as well as moved me up to Gold Medallion status in the Delta SkyMiles program. To be honest, this was quite unexpected, but very welcome. I wish it didn't have to come this way but I can honestly say that Delta made good on the whole situation by going beyond what I originally expected in compensation for their mistakes that night. I was looking to just get the two itineraries refunded but Delta went one better than that. That's how customer service should work! Kudos to Delta on this one.
