The aim was to overcome the traditional difficulties of animating a human face, for instance that the skin looks too shiny, or that the movements are too symmetrical.</blockquote>Link to <a href="http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article4557935.ece" target="_blank"><u>Times Online</u></a>&nbsp;]]></description>

         <title>Qantas Airlines: Repair Division </title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="file:///Users/petercol/Desktop/quantasSeats.jpg" border="0" /><img src="http://www.puppiesandflowers.com/blogimages/aug08/quantasSeats.jpg" border="0" width="333" height="500" /></p><p>In case you need a laugh: <br />Remember, it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one. <br />&nbsp; <br />After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a &#39;Gripe Sheet&#39; which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.. <br />The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight. &nbsp;<br />&nbsp; <br />Never let it be said that Aussie ground crews lack a sense of humour. <br />Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas&#39; pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions <br />recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. <br />&nbsp; <br />By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident. <br />&nbsp; <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. <br />S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. <br />S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Something loose in cockpit. <br />S: Something tightened in cockpit. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Dead bugs on windshield. <br />S: Live bugs on back-order. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. <br />S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. <br />S: Evidence removed. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: DME volume unbelievably loud. <br />S: DME volume set to more believable level. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. <br />S: That&#39;s what friction locks are for. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode. <br />S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Suspected crack in windshield. <br />S: Suspect you&#39;re right. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Number 3 engine missing. <br />S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Aircraft handles funny............ (I love this one!) <br />S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Target radar hums. <br />S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. <br />&nbsp; <br />P: Mouse in cockpit. <br />S: Cat installed. <br />&nbsp; <br />And the best one for last.................. <br />P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.<br />S: Took hammer away from midget.</p><p>Thanks Donna! </p>]]></description>
