1. Boston at NY Jets. Massachusetts is next door to New York. 2. Jacksonville at San Diego. If they drove on I-10, they'd cross through Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, but you could also fit in Georgia if you flew. 3. Tricky. There's no road over the canyon. It's in Arizona, but the team went East. May be the New Orleans Saints, if this is a reference to "When the saints go marching in" song...

Nursing is a really awesome vocation, I have met many wonderful nurses in my lifetime, both men and women. My daughter found some really awesome instruction about it on the resource in the box below, and now she is in her first semester of training.
2 :
An awesome Idea! Informational interview might be the catch phrase to use. Speak to your University Job placement resources and your mentor/counselor. You've done some research finding one hospital. Broaden that search, look for a job shadow experience in the ER or triage of the hospital and find out who rides the copter and ask them for advice. Ask anyone you meet if they know of someone in or close to this profession. Showing a profound interest and perseverance will get you that ride along. They have to have training missions! Good Luck!!

This is one of the organizations in California called Calstar that does flight nursing. The email address to get a hold of them at would be education@calstar.org

Why are Blueberry Preserves dangerous

Why are Blueberry Preserves dangerous?
Recently I went to a family reunion in Indiana and won a door prize. It was a small jar of Blueberry Preserves, 11.5 oz. to be exact. When I flew back home from Indianapolis to Denver I had it packed in my carry on luggage which was just a small backpack, I didn't have any checked luggage. When I went through the TSA security check they confiscated the Preserves and said that I couldn't take it on the plane because it was more than 3 oz. My question is; What exactly is it about Blueberry Preserves that makes it a dangerous terrorist substance? Did they really think that I was going to "JAM" up the flight controls with it or something like that? Please don't tell me that it was because it was more than three ounces either, that's just plain B.S. and totally ridiculous. I mean C'mon really, it was food stuff. Besides, my dad that lives in Texas was allowed to takes his on the plane, and it was the same size jar, only a different flavor. Pay attention Brandon, and everyone else. I said I didn't want to hear anything about that 3 ounces crap. So explain to me why my father was able to take his 11.5 ounce jar of preserves on the plane to Texas. James O Just because YOU'RE paranoid, doesn't mean I'm out to get you. So explain to me what exactly is in preserves that could cause an explosion? Nothing.

Blueberry preserves are highly explosive, and a three-ounce jar would blow a hole about six feet across in the side of an airliner. Or, at least, that's what Dick Cheney thinks. Let's hope we don't get any more of these whack jobs for a few decades. I see the Thumbs Down Monkeys are out in force today. Whenever I get lots of Thumbs Down Monkey Hits, that's when I know for sure I'm right! Thanks, Guys!

Heres the thing, 3oz is the min. volume needed to cause a serious chemical explosion. 3oz of plastic will actually be more than enough to blow a hole in the side of a pressurized jet. And there are quite a few things that you can mix with preserves to make a nasty bomb. Dont get mad at it. You know it was food, but they dont. I used to work for TSA at the Dayton Airport and snagged one of those SOB's from over seas. He seemed to be a great guy, as im sure you are. But when the investigation was conducted we found that he was meeting someone in Dallas flying from Chicago. He had all kinds of "innocent" stuff in his bag. But when the contents of his bag was put with the contents of the other dudes bag in IL, they had a bomb. Hope this helps you out a bit.

There is absolutely nothing dangerous about blueberry preserves, nor is there anything dangerous about toothpaste or hair shampoo. Rules are rules, even if they don't make sense to you. If your father did carry on more than a 3 oz. jar of preserves, then someone wasn't doing their job at the airport. The traveling public didn't make up the rules, but the rules got made up thanks to the Muslim terrorists and an overzealous government. And I'm sure that nearly anyone could scoop out the middle of a jar of preserves and hide a nice little chunk of plastic explosive in it. The bigger the jar, the bigger the chunk. That's why they made up the rule. It sucks for the preserve eaters, but helps preserve the safety of everyone that flys.

To Sarajevo : Lufthansa has direct flights from Munich, Austrian from Vienna, British Airways from London and Malev from Budapest. If you search these four airlines' shedule, you can find the best fare with Malev. It is always cheaper to fly all the way with the same company, not to combine. Malev's share partners fly both to Chicago and Detroit. If you book early in advance you will have better options and cheaper seats. British Airways has nice offers right now for the next year bookings. Lufthansa has flights from all three mentioned cities, but is quite expensive. Ask them about spec. offers and early bookings. The same applies for Austrian and British Airways. There is also possibility to fly from USA using charter flights to Europe, but always search for towns having direct flights to Sarajevo: Madrid, Koeln, Munich, Budapest, Vienna, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Beograd, Ancona and/or London. Good luck, Dado bosanski! edit: They will charge youth/student fare for your ticket, which is about 30% cheaper than adult fare. If you book fixed dates the tickets will be cheaper also. And if you find at least another 2 people traveling on the same dates, you can have another discount as a group.

Carl sent Diana a dozen bright red, long-stem roses. ("Bright" describes red) Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I quote Jean Racine: “Innocence has nothing to dread.” (A colon announces a quote, not a semicolon) Glynda asked me to meet her 2:15 p.m. flight at JFK Airport. (That comma was unnecessary.) Edited to add: Oops, I missed #1. 1983 is a year--no comma.
6 :
No comma in 1983. Hoosier Dome looks OK. Wall Street Journal sentence is fine. You could take all the commas out of the rose sentence and it would be OK. BTW, tell your teacher they are "long-stemmed" roses and they need a hyphen, just as I wrote it. Usually it's big OR tall men. If they're talking about large, tall men, then this is OK. Put a colon after 1999 and again after 2000. But it's a crappy way to do it. No comma for room 1004. HP sentence is OK. Condo sentence OK. Dry cleaning OK, unless you want semicolons between the items. I don't think that's necessary. It's not a sentence; it's just a list. Golden Rule OK. I thought maybe a comma after Racine, but I think a colon would be better. No comma after flight. Put a space between 10:00 and a.m. This is not a very good or useful assignment, in my opinion.
7 :
When you are writing a year there should be no comma e.g. 1,983 should be 1989 if it refers to a year. when dealing with numbers into the thousands, a comm should be used, therefore one thousand eight hundred and eighty four should be written as 1,884. There doesn't really need to be a comma between flight and JFK airport as a comma merely indicates a slight pause and when speaking that sentance aloud , you prbably wouldn't pause there. And for the last one, it should probably be ten o'clock IN the morning etc. Otherwise fine.

How does one go about getting compensation from an airline

How does one go about getting compensation from an airline?
I was traveling from Indianapolis to Gainsville, Florida. One stop over in Atlanta. I am disabled and they provided a wheeel chair. (I can walk some just not great distances) First in Indy they delayed us an hour and 20 minutes because supposeingly a wheel came off a plane in Atlanta) It made me late for my next flight by the time we got off the plane. They had another plane for me at 4:14. My father confirmed it from his end but the girl said I missed that one yet they were still boarding (by the way I was not on standy by) and dropped me off at one that left at 9:45 in the evening,no wheel chair or way to get around. I opened my cell when she dropped me off and it read 4:10. I could not get around unless I asked another stranger to watch my luggage which is wrong. The two gate girls refused to. I was lucky to find two for bathroom and another for a nearby food place, I also hurt so bad from sitting in one spot and walking my back hurt so bad I was crying. I also developed a bad blister on my foot from trying to get around those short distances. and had to go to Doctor during my stay. I also spent high price food money in Atlanta due to not counting on being there so late. I also had the same problems with delays on the way back but the hours were a little better but still late. Both ways my families had a hard time trying to get me. I feel they should refund my money, food and doctor bills and time and gas for my families. Do I get a lawyer or do I call the airline. I am new to this,... travelma I did request assitance a week before my flight and they knew my condition. also to Frequent flyer...it really doesnt matter that much to me what I get...I want something for the hardship I went through,...I really hurt,... I don't plan to sue, been that route when my daughter died in a car accident and the bar had no insurance and the bartender had no liscense... what a laugh our legal systems.!!! Neil could not get on,, the girl rolled me away right away to the next one and said I missed it. I did not if they were still boarding.

Definitely put everything in writing and go to the airline's website and see where you can contact them and express your dissatisfaction with the service. No guarantee you will get your money back as the airline may only say their job is to get you to your destination which they did, but just not in the way you wanted them to.
2 :
well that was a bad thing happened to you, it was sure a airline fault, first you should contact the airline and tell them the whole situation , if they do not agree to pay your bills, then you should get a lawyer. All the Best..
3 :
but when you made your reservation did you tell the reservation you needed a wheelchair if you didn't tell them that when making a reservation (they will place a notice in your reservation) they don't have anyway of knowing did you expect to have ESP and know that you needed wheelchair? when you checked at the Indianapolis airport did you tell the agent you needed a wheelchair? when you got to the gate did you tell them? airlines donut hav esp a while ago I helped my g/f (who need wheelchair when we first arrived at Lax we notified the airline agent was already waiting for us with a wheelchair, then we went go to our destination in the jetway an wheelchair was waiting this is because we notified the airlines in advance' but since you never told the airline you needed a wheelchair IN ADAVNE thats why it took so long,,,
4 :
You say they were still boarding. Then why did you not get on? Normal airline practice is to close the door ten minutes before stated departure time. If they didn't do that, it wuldn't be posssible to depart on time. Delays are a fact of life in travel. There are two different ways to approach this. One is legal, and you'll get nowhere that way. The other is as a customer relations matter, and that is where you may get some satisfaction. I can pretty much guarantee that you will not get the cost of your trip refunded (since they did, after all, get you there.) Nor are they likely to pay out cash for your food at ATL or your doctor bills. But a clear, no nonsense complaint will likely yield a voucher for $50 or $100 off a future trip. Time and gas for your families? Best not to mention it if you want to be taken seriously.
5 :
Write a letter or email to Delta. They are required to respond by law to all complaints. You probably won't get a refund for the food and doctor, but most likely will receive a refund for the flight. Good luck!
