No A380's For Air Canada

Image
    Boeing's twin-engined Dreamliner will be a much smaller aircraft -- seating 200 to 300 passengers -- with the latest engines and materials, and upturned wingtip "winglets," for maximum efficiency. For the cost of a single Airbus A380 (about $250-$300 million), an airline could conceivably have two or three 787/7E7 Dreamliners, or more. Declining wages for airline pilots are likely to make such a multiple-plane scenario less costly than before.   Air Canada is targeting seven major Canadian cities as departure points for the long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The first plane in the carrier’s order for 37 Dreamliners will arrive in the first quarter of 2014, followed by six more of the aircraft that year, said Ben Smith, Air Canada’s chief commercial officer. "Starting in the first quarter 2014, AirCanada expects to take delivery of our first of 37 Boeing 787 Dreamliners aircraft, comprised of (15) 787-8s and (22) 787-9s,"   The carrier will now expect six 78

Joint Pain - #1

  The most troublesome spots tend to be in our back and necks. That's because every time you move, you bend your spine, squishing and compressing the discs between its bones. Sometimes too much spinal pressure on a disc can cause it to bulge out and press on a nerve, causing the nerve to get inflamed and signal pain that just won't let up. Our bodies have more than 50 nerves off the spinal cord.  Vitamin B12  A vitamin B12 supplement boost helps to ease your back pain by encouraging your body to thicken its protective coating around your nerves, so they don't "short circuit" and cause pain.B12 rich foods include liver (best source), chicken giblets, kidney and egg  yolk. Legumes such as dried beans, lentils, split peas, almonds, nuts and  soy products are also rich in B12. Starches like sweet potatoes, potatoes,  wheat four and whole grains.  You can find vitamin B12 in your daily foods you may already eat with out  knowing. Here are some rich in B12: Cod liver oi

Pain Reset: Positional Release Therapy Before you endure another day with spasms or sore muscles, shut down your pain in 90 seconds or less with positional release therapy. This technique is strong enough to get rid of your pain, but gentle enough to be used in any age group, and only needs to be done once a week. Its a low-risk way to reset the body by positioning the body in a strain-counter strain method, alleviating any type of pain from your neck, elbow, leg, arthritis pain, or even menstrual cramps. Find the tender point that hurts the most. Then, take a pencil and use the eraser end to press down on the tender point for about 90 seconds. As you press down, rotate the eraser to work out the muscle while simultaneously relaxing the area by taking deep breaths. Positional release therapy breaks the pattern of pain in the muscle, melting away tightness. When you hold the eraser down on the spot, it signals your nerves to relax that spasm of pain, providing the instant relief your bo

Pretty Posies

  I took this picture on my daily walk.  Very pretty posies. Don't know what they are. Remind me of Azaleas in Florida, but I think our climes are little too cold for them. Does anyone have a idea what they are?

Google's New Gmail

Image
  If you want to get the old view back, here's what to do: 1. Head to Gmail's settings and go to the Inbox tab. 2. Next to "Inbox type," open the drop down and select any option besides "Default." 3. Rearrange your inbox sections as you desire. *************************************** Replies to emails are at the bottom of the Senders Email To add .jpg's in same place click camers,add pic's and then upload them. ***************************************** No matter which option you choose, you'll get the old segmented inbox back. From there you can choose how many/which sections you want. You will lose the sorted tabs, though: for now, it seems you can only use one type of inbox or the other. We don't know if Google is going to eventually roll out the new inbox system as a mandatory upgrade for all users, however for the time being the choice is entirely up to you.

Conduit Task Bar - A real Pain in the Donkey

Image
  !@#$% ^&* Conduit Task Bar     How to get rid of it is a real problem it piggy backed on a update of Imageburn in my case. Probably should have known better, as a couple of year's ago I was duped with the same type download and this maleware showed up.  The way I figured out is to restore Windows to a previous date. This can save you a lot of time and frustration. 

Jumbled Desktop Icons

If  the icons move after a reboot or shutdown then try using  F5 after arranging or adding icons, or right-click the desktop and click 'Refresh'. That should lock the current icons in place wherever they are on your desktop -- this only locks the locations, not necessarily the order if you stack them in little heaps. ****************************************************** If all Else Fails - Registry Trick - Be Careful I Go to be able to HKEY_CURRENT_USER then Software then  Microsoft then Windows then CurrentVersion after that Policies then Explorer.  Right-click on an empty space during the right pane and select  DWORD Value name No Save Settings not to mention press the enter key.  Right-click on the new No Save Settings Item and select Modify. Enter 1 in the Value data box. You could be done, whenever you restart windows now, your  will go back to their state and your won’t have to worry about  someone messing up your desktop settings. ***************************************
