"According to well-placed Malaysia Airlines sources, at least two cabin crew swapped shifts so they would not be on MH17, specifically because they were worried about the flightpath. The Mail on Sunday has been told worried pilots consulted air traffic controllers in Malaysia and also made an informal approach to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). But still Malaysia Airlines did not divert the route, unlike other carriers.
British Airways as well as all US airlines, Lufthansa, Air France and Qantas, were already avoiding the war zone in Ukraine, adding an extra 20 minutes’ flight time, and there is growing pressure on Malaysia Airlines to explain why it did not follow suit.
Neat, Sixty, I'd never seen that one. And I never knew the words were take on me. It's one of those songs you hear over and over, but don't know the words. Great tune.
I've already posted about dark matter just a few days ago. NYT is late to the story... posting It would also mean breaking a NYT secret boycott of one I'm currently on.

That's an unusual video.

I'm missing that song and that album.
I've hardly twittered at all lately and yet I've picked up quite a bit of new followers.
I don't get it.
Maybe that's the key... don't twitter too much.
A-ha!

Innovative video, for sure.
Because why not?
My brother just pointed out, on another topic, that not only did Toni Basil choreograph that video, but she was in Easy Rider, too.
Now she's 70 goin' on 71. But she will always be young to me, and you know she takes me by the heart when she takes me by the hand...
Sharyl Attkisson favorited your Tweet

Sharyl Attkisson is the former CBS Infobabe that quit in protest.
I've made it... twitter wise ;)
It's all downhill from here.
Maybe I should post that.

It's a tough call.
Going on Jury Duty tomorrow. I have been summoned. "Term of service is one day, or one trial."
Sixty, dude, I'm a little worried. I don't recall that video or that song and you do :)
But what a great song and choreography.
Lem, I feel your pain.
Who said I was in pain?
I was joking. People typically regard jury duty as a pain.
Hey, jury duty in NJ is five bucks a day - that's a raise for Lem.
