<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h3>NEW ZEALAND may get a royal visitor next year with Prince William considering an official trip on behalf of the Queen &#8211; but only if Air NZ’s computer system joins the game.</h3>
<p>Yesterday, a <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2952584/Computer-crash-chaos-for-Air-New-Zealand" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>system crash</strong></span> </a>at about 10am left thousands of travellers grounded for several hours and caused chaos and long queues on Wellington Airport.</p>
<div id="attachment_555" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-555  " title="Plane" src="http://internationaldeparture.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/plane.jpg" alt="Plane" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">LEAVING ON A JETPLANE - wasn&#39;t so easy yesterday for Air NZ passengers when computers crashed (pic: Newsbie Pix)</p></div>
<p>“You couldn’t ask for a better day for this to go wrong.” Bruce Parton, <a href="http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Air New Zealand</strong></span></a>’s group general manager of short-haul airlines, said about the coincidence of yesterday also being the last day of the school holidays.</p>
<p>More than 10,000 people were affected by the breakdown which caused delays and cancellations on national and international flights and forced staff to use old-fashioned ways to check flights in – pens and paper.</p>
<p>Extra-called in Air New Zealand staff handed out free food to apologise to waiting travellers, but the system was finally back on track by 3.30pm.</p>
<div id="attachment_552" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 131px"><img class="size-full wp-image-552  " title="prince-william" src="http://internationaldeparture.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/prince-william.jpg" alt="prince-william" width="121" height="162" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ROYAL DUTY: Prince William considers visiting NZ (pic: beourguests. co.uk)</p></div>
<p>A meeting between the airline and computer manufacturer <a href="http://www.ibm.com/nz/en/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>IBM</strong></span></a> was planned for this morning and hopefully they will get into action to avoid problems like this in the near future and especially in January when <a href="http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/personalprofiles/princewilliamprinceharry/princewilliam/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Prince William</strong></span></a> is going to come.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrx.zen.co.uk/britnews.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>British media</strong></span></a> are reporting the Prince is considering going on his first official overseas trip in place of his grandmother, the <a href="http://www.royal.gov.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Queen</strong></span></a>, in January 2010, when a visit to Australia is due.</p>
<p>He is “ready to embrace his duty” the prince’s Clarence House office was quoted by <a href="http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/mailonsunday/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>The Mail on Sunday</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p>Neither Prime Minister <a href="http://www.johnkey.co.nz/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>John Key</strong></span></a> nor the prince himself will give comment until the decision will officially been announced.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/back2school.jpg"><img src="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/back2school.jpg?w=300" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-style:italic;color:rgb(51,153,153);">Not awkward at all.</span> Pssht, yeah right. So my day started alright, I guess. I have homeroom with <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span> so I followed her around all morning. We hung out in a group with <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Walee</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Duff</span> checking out all the new kids/old kids that are returning to the school (<span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">HallBoy</span> and some other old classmates have switched schools and now attend LP). It was neat seeing everyone. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">JetPlane</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Paychelle</span> both dyed their hair black. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Jony</span> welcomed me back with a big hug. Everyone was very sleepy and smiley.</p>
<p>I was worried about <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Taylor Lautner</span>, and how awkward that situation would turn out, seeing as though I haven&#8217;t actually talked to him in about a month and we didn&#8217;t exactly leave things in a convenient state. It&#8217;s complicated. And what made it worse was shouting my name from across the foyer of the school to get my attention wasn&#8217;t exactly the &#8216;welcome back&#8217; I&#8217;d expected. So when he called my names a couple times, I hadn&#8217;t noticed. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span> did. But then we left. He thinks I&#8217;m ignoring him. Yikes.</p>
<p>Other than that, my school semester is looking&#8230; interesting.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Careers/Civics</span> is a little fun, seeing as though I want to be a famous movie producer/artist/book author/designer. And <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span> and I sit right beside each other in our own little corner. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Duff</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Hig&#8217;ns</span> are in that class with me.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">History</span> will be boring, but at least my old gym teacher will be accustomed to <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">BTani</span> and my crazy-hyper-attitude mood swings. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">BTani</span> and I talk and talk and talk. The other loud rebellious guys that like to mouth off are in our class, which shall make for a very fun time. The teacher&#8217;s handling it well. They respect her  &#8220;chill&#8221; non-strict way of teaching; it could be because she laughs at their jokes with them, or that she&#8217;s blonde and young. Either way, history will be pretty good. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">BTani</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Darb</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Teddybear</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Whylee</span> are all in that class with me.</p>
<p>Then I have <span style="font-weight:bold;">Math</span>. Oh boy. I&#8217;m not quite fond of Math. We have a new teacher and I was afraid he&#8217;d explain things wrong and I&#8217;d be confused for the rest of the semester. He walked into the class late. He was tall, young and wore designer clothes. Great. Then he gave us his own little autobiography about his life. He&#8217;s 24 years old, Italian, loves soccer, just out of University in June, this is his first teaching job and he likes math and geography. Then he told us his way of teaching. He&#8217;s going to give us a lesson for the first 25 minutes of class, then it&#8217;s &#8220;our time&#8221;. During &#8220;our time&#8221; we practice and start homework so we don&#8217;t actually have to do it at home. Then he went on explaining that he doesn&#8217;t mind if we listen to our iPods during &#8220;our time&#8221;, heck we&#8217;re even allowed to text people and use our cell phones. &#8220;Do what you gotta do,&#8221; he said., he doesn&#8217;t care. As long as we get our work done. Then he concluded his introduction by asking us if we had any questions about University or partying. Hmm&#8230;. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Ale</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Ambrus</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">FortySix</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Rebel</span> are all in that class with me.</p>
<p>Last, I have <span style="font-weight:bold;">Communication Technology</span> (Comm Tech). This is one of my favourites partially because of the photography, editing, film-making, animation and sketching. There&#8217;s the normal classroom, the Studio which is complete with our very own Green Screen (that&#8217;s where we do the filming), then there&#8217;s the dark room (for developing photography), then there&#8217;s the upstairs where the Apple Macs are for editing movies and such. God, this will be heaven. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Paychelle</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Darb</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Dixon</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Teddybear</span> are all in that class with me.</p>
<p>This year is gonna be good. I can just tell.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,153);font-family:trebuchet ms;">So my FORMER best friend is back in town after 6 months of hiding in Florida.</span> Yeah! Remember <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span>!? SHES BACK! She just randomly showed up at my door with <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">JetPlane</span> and HIM! She had the NERVE to bring <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Rebel</span>! She makes out with this one guy, then decides that because he doesn&#8217;t like her she should go make out with his friend to make him jealous. Then when we don&#8217;t approve she sneaks a different him in during the night and then makes out with another him. And then she pretends to get drunk, acts like a bitch, goes and steals the guy I was in a relationship with and then LEAVES THE FUCKING COUNTRY!</p>

She just ruined my day. Thank you very much.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;">I survived Exams with nothing but an exhausted brain and a sore back.</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span>They went pretty well, I guess. As a finale, I ended off my stressful week with a night of blaring dance music, a manicure and sparkling champagne at <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span>&#8217;s house.</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;">It was her birthday yesterday so she had a whole bunch of close friends together for mani&#8217;s and pedi&#8217;s and a movie sleepover.</span> It was great. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">JetPlane</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Walee</span> were there too. Exactly what I needed to start my week off. We went slightly insane after a Flip Cup Drinking Game with three cans of Red Bull. But by the time the movie was put on we were all so tired and knocked out that we had a pretty good sleep.</p>
<p><a href="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/a5416c710890af52c02e8473c9a27fe1.png"><img src="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/a5416c710890af52c02e8473c9a27fe1.png?w=200" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;">I went to bed at 3am, got picked up at 9am, we</span><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;">nt back to sleep </span><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;">at</span><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;">10am, woke up at 12pm and then hoped in the car and drove to Buffalo.</span> I am now in the car on my way to my Babcia&#8217;s house (Babcia=Grandma in Polish). Whenever I need time away from my friends, family, school and work I take off to my Babcia&#8217;s. We always have fun. She&#8217;s very funny and thinks I&#8217;m a dumb blonde like the rest of my family. Even though I am NOT dumb and my hair is the colour of chocolate. She tries to teach me how to cook and we play card games (I owe her two dollars for losing) and go shopping and go to the lake and go to the race tracks.</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;">So, yes, I am very very excited!</span></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>De är tidigt och jag gäspar lika stort som en flodhäst, så jag håller verkligen på att svälja allt som jag har här inne i mitt rum. Jaja nog om de intressanta ämnet.</p>
<p>Igår satt jag och lyssnade på låtar med PPM (Peter, Paul and Mary) och hittade sånger som vi brukar sjunga på i Danmark &#8220;<a title="If i had a hammer" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUKB3PxG-0E">if i had a hammer</a>&#8221; tillexempel. De har även gjort en inspelning på &#8220;<a title="Leaving on a jetplane" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LvtDb0ZPwQ&#38;feature=related" target="_blank">leaving on a jetplane</a>&#8221; Och de är väldigt roligt att lyssna på. &#8220;<a title="puff the magic dragon" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VFxA7o4f5E&#38;feature=related" target="_blank">Puff the magic Dragon</a>&#8221; har du inte lyssnat på den, så är den en garaterat &#8220;göra &#8211; dig &#8211; glad &#8211; sång&#8221;</p>
<p>Sedan lyssnade jag på &#8220;<a title="Streets of london" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uc8KPSIzAc" target="_blank">Streets of London</a>&#8221; men de är inte dom som gör den. Fast jag tycker den är väldigt fin. Men de är risk att bli ledsen på denna låten. Men som sagt, den är väldans fin.</p>
<p>Nej nu ska jag äta lite frukost, och sedan gå och träffa vännerna, grabbarna grus och allt de där. Ska antagligen ut en sväng med syrran ikväll. Vi får helt enkelt se vad som händer =)</p>

But <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span> is driving me insane. She&#8217;s changing so much. We got scared.</span></span>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">S</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">o the evening was fine and fun we went to dinner where we took lots of pictures and got all the gossip out of us. The movie was pretty funny. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Walee</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span> didn&#8217;t stop talking and texting (grrr). The movie was okay. Was a little awkward at some parts. Lots of couples making out all around us. But other than that it was a cute movie</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">The night was where it got weird.</span> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">So <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span>&#8217;s basement was all set up for the party;</span></span><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"> chips, steamers, music blaring, chocolate, drinks, movies, etc. We danced, we sang, we laughed, we played Flip Cup (drinking game with Pepsi&#8230; not beer), we spit it out all over the place, we told secrets in the cold storage room, we signed <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span>&#8217;s wall, we accessorized ourselves with the streamers, we ripped the streamers, we threw the streams, we played &#8220;See How Many Smarties You Can Catch In Your Mouth&#8221;, we took pictures and videos, and we helped <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Walee</span> sneak back into the</span> <span style="font-family:georgia;">party (she had to leave early but then she sneaked back at 1 o&#8217;clock). </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span> used to be shy but really fun and nice. She never thought once about staying out with guys or drinking beer. Now all of a sudden she&#8217;s making out with <a style="color:rgb(0,204,204);" href="http://steffie-is-bored.blogspot.com/2008/09/not-just-lights-on-friday-night.html">BandBoy</a>,</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> wanting to sneak him in, drinking beer, and being, well, a bitch.</span> </span><a href="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/img_tropicaldrinks.gif"><img src="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/img_tropicaldrinks.gif?w=200" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">So yes, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span> pressured <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Walee</span> and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">JetPlane</span> to drink. They had 2 sips. That was it. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span> through up after the second sip (don&#8217;t know why) but she was fine. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Walee</span> leaves. Then <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span> starts acting drunk, which she isn&#8217;t because she only had 2 sips, she threw most of it up already, and she wasn&#8217;t acting like that 2 seconds ago. We get scared. It&#8217;s 4 o&#8217;clock, so we go to bed. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span> starts smashing eggs on the ground (no joke, was such a mess) and starts acting like a bird. But she&#8217;s not drunk, it&#8217;s all an act. She calls us Party Poopers &#8217;cause we want to get to bed and we won&#8217;t act drunk with her. She starts making fun of us and then wakes her mom up by accident and as soon as her mom shouts down : &#8220;<span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span>, come here,&#8221; she&#8217;s back to her normal self again.</span> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">What is really pathetic is in stead of telling us that &#8220;Yes, sorry guys I got a little bit crazy last night&#8221; she pretended that she had a hangover and couldn&#8217;t remember anything. We were like: &#8220;<span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Putter</span>, you had 2 sips!!!&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">So we are kind of upset that #1) she lied to us, #2) she actually thought being drunk was funny, #3) she&#8217;s kind of turning into a slut, and #4) she got mad at us cause we didn&#8217;t want to smash eggs in the house, #5) she&#8217;s into <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">BandBoy</span>, #6) she told us we were Party Poopers, #7) she wanted to drink, #8) she wanted to sneak <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">BandBoy</span> into the house, #9) she was being hurtful, #10) that she has changed to freaking much to be apart of everything and to get the &#8216;high school&#8217; experience, she doesn&#8217;t need to act drunk to get our attention.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">We will see how things go..</span>.</span></div>

<description><![CDATA[So 2 days ago, it was Friday. And on that Friday was Friday Night Lights. And on Friday Night Lights]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);"><span style="font-family:georgia;">S<span style="font-family:georgia;">o 2 </span>days ago, it was Friday. And on that Friday was <span style="color:rgb(0,0,153);">Friday Night Lights</span>. And on Friday Night Lights, we all come to the school and cheer on our Football team in the dark under big stadium lights. Sounds like fun, right?</span></span></span></p>
<p><a style="font-family:georgia;" href="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/img_footballball.jpg"><img src="http://steffiexo.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/img_footballball.jpg?w=300" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:georgia;">I don&#8217;t understand Football, but I came and pretended I knew what I was cheering about. We all dressed in our team colours and were wearing LP on our faces written in red lipstick. Little did I know, that you don&#8217;t come to the game to cheer. You come to socialize. We didn&#8217;t even watch half the game. I mean, don&#8217;t get me wrong it was all really fun. Interesting gossip stories to talk about afterwards, however.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,204);">Top Points of Interest:</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);"> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,204);">1) Putter came!!</span> Yay! It was nice for everyone to see her again. But she didn&#8217;t seem like herself. I&#8217;m not sure if it was seeing everyone again or having a &#8216;high school&#8217; experience, but she seemed like she had to prove something. I guess from being home schooled all these years she wanted to be apart of the drama. So she started flirting, and ended up kissing <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">BandBoy</span>, which she told everyone about. I never saw her like that before, and it was kinda weird.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:georgia;"> <span style="color:rgb(102,0,204);">2) CheezWiz, Walee and JetPlane showed up tipsy.</span> And you could tell. They smelled like alcohol. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">CheezWiz</span> was the worst, but she tried to hide it, <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Walee</span> was pretty bad, but she tried to get people to notice, and <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">JetPlane</span> had hardly any and was on her best behavior. Personally, I didn&#8217;t understand why exactly they did it, as long as they didn&#8217;t get in trouble, which they didn&#8217;t. I gave them each a piece of minty-fresh gum and kept them in a 2 meter distance away from the Police that patrolled the area. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);font-family:georgia;"> <span style="color:rgb(102,0,204);">3) Poor Paychelle.</span> She hearts <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">FortySix</span> and purposely wrote his number on her cheeks and watched the game so she could go up to him and say &#8220;Good game&#8221; and mean it. The sad part is, she&#8217;s shy. And after the game, when it was the perfect opportune moment to talk to him, she chickened out and ran away screaming. So, after about 3 times attempting to say something, he was about to leave, so I went up to him and said &#8220;Go talk to <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Paychelle</span>, and look at what she wrote on her cheek.&#8221; And of course, curiosity prevailed and he went back to secretly find her. She was hiding beside the garbage. He did end up seeing her cheek and smiling cause I pulled him to her, however she didn&#8217;t see/talk to him. He then left. And she blew her shot. Poor <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Paychelle</span>.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);"><span style="font-family:georgia;"> <span style="color:rgb(102,0,204);">4) K-Potter hearts Whylee.</span> <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Whylee</span> attended the event. <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">K-Potter</span> did not. She was too busy having fun at <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">MickeyMouse</span>&#8217;s surprise party that stupid <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">MinnieMouse</span> planned on the BIGGEST event of the year. So, to make sure <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">K-Potter</span> stayed on his mind at the event I told him that &#8220;someone&#8221; liked him. I&#8217;m so evil. Pure genius. Evil genius. Anyways, to make things more fun (and because I got a little crazy and carried away) every time I saw him I would shout &#8220;<span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">WHYLEE</span>!&#8221; and run before he could see who called his name. Of course he knows it was me. I just don&#8217;t think he knows who &#8220;me&#8221; is. I&#8217;m in his Geography class. I don&#8217;t think he knows that. So I am preparing myself for a slap from <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">K-Potter</span> on Monday. That is if she finds out. I won&#8217;t tell her if you don&#8217;t.</span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,0);"> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:rgb(102,0,204);">5) Rebel is not a wangstaa.</span> Not even close. It&#8217;s sorta a little joke. I don&#8217;t even know what a wangstaa is. But anyways apparently he was pretending to be drunk in front of <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">JayNay</span>, just to bug her (???) Not quite sure why he did that. But she used to/still does like him. I haven&#8217;t figured that out yet. I know she used to, and she&#8217;s denying that she still does. Because she likes <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Whylee</span> now. But you can like 2 people at the same time, right? I&#8217;m just wondering if <span style="color:rgb(255,102,102);">Rebel</span> likes her. I hope not. Cause that would make me very sad. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,153);font-family:georgia;">Good news is, we won!!! WOO! Go Spartans!</span></span></div>

<description><![CDATA[When was the last time something in the aviation world truly excited us? After 9-11, it doesn&#8217;]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>When was the last time something in the aviation world truly excited us?  After 9-11, it doesn&#8217;t seem that things dealing with airplanes really astonish us, in fact, it&#8217;s almost the complete opposite.  In the past couple of years, I can point to a couple of advancements in airplane systems that have really made an impact on our lives.  For instance, remember when you realized that on business class, everyone gets their own TV&#8217;s with their own channels.  Or remember when Airbus was going to produce the largest plane to date with 2 complete levels of seating (yet to be produced).</p>
<p>Though these were great advancements, they served a simple purpose.  It was to place a remedy on the long and arduous flights that people suffer through.  Yet, we&#8217;ve yet to really see any advancements in the speed of an airplane.  Sure the ride may be more comfortable, but the time it takes me to go from SF to London has been the same all of my life.</p>
<p>Well&#8230;soon that may not be the case.  Remember that anything dealing with aviation is always going to be expensive so when I describe this new technology&#8230;let&#8217;s remember that there always is a price-tag.</p>
<p>Lockheed Martin is developing a new technology for planes to be able to travel at Mach 1.8 speeds and provide very little noise while in the air.  This would feasibly be able to make speeds like going from Seattle to Tokyo in 5 hours or as the title suggests, New York to LA in 2 hours.</p>
<p>Here is what the jet would possibly look like (taken for only 12 passengers but eventually scaled):</p>

<p align="left">The inside snapshots are pretty amazing.  I could definitely see corporations using this as means of jetting to a meeting quickly across the US.</p>
