So go to images.google.com, search Kate Middleton, and post with any post you make because, honestly, it's Kate Middleton night.

It will never happen again. Tsquare has already admonished me as well.

Seriously doubt Queen Liz ever looked that good in a tshirt and boots. Then again, I wasn't alive in the early 50's so who knows????
On second thought, I still find the royals boring. It might be time to bring on the swimsuit shots, after all....

Ok DAL wizards, I cannot find the answer anywhere. I bid reserve in DEC for the holidays off. I am off from the 22nd to the end of the month. I have to bid golden days. I thought you bid them in a block but it is listed as days in DBMS. As long as I have the 22nd or 23 as a golden day, I am set. How do I do that. I have listed the days in a row (ie 22, 23, 24, 25) Not sure if that is the best strategy or even correct. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
fish

In this case, you just need the 22nd....and don't answer you phone after your release.

Hi Guys,
A question for you money hungry holiday workers bees....
I have a regular schedule for December and I am working the last two weeks of the month. Doing the holiday thing first part of the month and GF is out of town with her family, so can one of you green slippers explain how the green slip with conflict works. I have a few days off before the holiday (19-22) and would like to make some extra cash. Will they award you a trip in open time (say 22,23,24,25 & 26th) and drop your conflict trip or do they beak-up the open time trip. Thanks in advance, first time green slipper. Not sure of the process.

Someone's getting his 15 mins.
It was the Tweet heard 'round the L.A. food world.
Noted Los Angeles food stylist Adam C. Pearson was settling into his seat aboard a Delta flight Saturday morning when the flight attendant tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to come to the front of the plane. His first thought? "I'm getting an upgrade!"
Not exactly.
Pearson was temporarily asked to step off the plane and learned that another passenger had reported him for suspicious behavior, and noted that he had the words "Atom Bomb" tattooed across his fingers. Questioned by the captain and the flight attendant, Pearson explained that the tattoos referred to a childhood nickname. After answering a few more questions, Pearson -- who is a frequent Delta passenger and has flown over 142,000 miles with the airline this year alone -- was allowed to return to his seat.
"I was just shocked," Pearson said. "All eyes were on me, I felt everyone staring at me and I was like, 'I didn't do anything.' " Before the plane took off, he twittered: "Just pulled off delta flight, passenger said I was suspicious looking due to my tattoos @DeltaAssist not happy at all #goldmedallion fail"
When he landed in Memphis, he had over 150 e-mails asking him what happened, and learned that his Tweet had exploded on the social media venue. It was "reTweeted" by many in L.A.'s close-knit food world, where Pearson is well-known for his stylish presentation of food so that it can be photographed for glossy magazines, advertisements and cookbooks. (It was laughable to many that the colorful Pearson could be considered a safety threat.)
"I had no idea all this was going on while I was in the air," Pearson said of the digital flurry. "It speaks to the power of social media."
A Delta representative told Pearson the airline would look into the incident. “A public apology would be nice,” Pearson said. “I’m not out for blood,” he added, “but why didn’t they offer to book that other person on another flight if they didn’t like my tattoos? Why was that other person more important than me?”
Later in the day, Delta spokesman Anthony Black said he did not have any knowledge of the incident but said that the pilot and flight attendant must use their judgment to handle such matters.
Pearson, who is one half of a food blogging/food photography/food styling power duo (the other half being Matt Armendariz), said he has never before been questioned about his tattoos or behavior while flying. "It really just made me kind of sad that you could just point at someone and say 'That guy is acting suspicious,' " he said. "It was just a bummer."
It was also just one of the snafus in his trip. Pearson was traveling to Milwaukee for a food styling job for Kohl's, but his first flight was cancelled. After racing around for new tickets, he was booked on the flight that would take him to Memphis and then on to Milwaukee. But a connector flight was overbooked, leaving him and his assistant with several hours to kill in Tennessee.
Like any good foodie, Pearson was finding a way to make it work: He used the Memphis layover to make a barbecue pit stop at Jim Neely’s Interstate Bar-B-Que, which is where we caught up with him.
"They've got good pig," he said.

I like Apple products, but I really hate their corporate arrogance. Especially when it comes to pricing and the RDF. RDF for you non-bitheads is what geeks call the Reality Distortion Field around Steve Jobs whenever he talks about the latest and greatest product from Apple.
In that spirit for all you RDF fans, here is the/a biased demo of the upcoming RIM Playbook vs. Apple iPad.
