Is CP under attack like United or WSJ or NYSE??? Oh no! Head for them that hills! 
Maybe just a serial spammer who will be gone soon, methinks.

Regarding the United fiasco, a quote in the paper yesterday was "Software is like a teenager: It does things for reasons no one can understand.”, huh? Christ, I wish I could use that excuse!

1. potato roll, toasted
2. Sharp cheddar cheese - finely grated
3. Fresh, raw jalapeno - split in half, lengthwise then finely cut
4. 1/4 yellow onion finely minced
5. Homemade meat chili without beans.
haha forgot the key ingredient: 6. Brats. I like plain brats, instead of hotdogs but ALL BEEF (Angus) is also exceptional.
I eat two at a time, 3 if I am feeling invincible. I just love these simple creations, they are so good for my heart and my bowels. Enjoy, or not.

That's about right.

In a pinch, Wolf Brand chili is also acceptable.
Haven't tried it with brats but I will have to do so, preferably beer brats.

What is a potato roll? Googling the recipe gives..
"Cook the potato in a microwave on HIGH until soft and it squeezes easily, using the designated baked potato setting".
Having looked at pictures, how do you put those in a bread-toaster?

Rats of b-grade quality, or simply a brat-wurst?
Lots of questions on the topic.

Your comments over there are right on too.
But, seriously, for once, made me pity on those recruiters. Looks like they have very few choices. Also means that there's scope for innovation.

Small introduction: Big question ...[^]
And now the Big answer, of course
At the end I decided to politely ask which was their reimbursement policy, more or less using the following:
... blablabla ... I would kindly ask if it is possible to anticipate our appointment in such a way I could get back to the airport in time to catch my flight.
Speaking about the flight, could you please tell me which are your company's reimbursement policies?
I had this answer:
Thank you for your mail. I am sure we will find a way.
You can come directly after your arrival
 At this point I didn't understand which was the meaning of the mail, since she didn't mentioned explicitly their policy
In any case I decided to take the risk and bought the flight, since I liked very much that possibility
When I reached them we had a full day made of interviews and meetings. By the end of the day it was coming my time to leave and still no one mentioned the subject so I asked to speak with HR again and when she arrived she told me: Oh I forgot to mention, for the reimbursement just send us the receipts and your IBAN and we will refund everything!
Yeah, that was I hoped but was starting to believe it wasn't going to happen
Now I just have to hope they consider positively the interview and then the day had been perfect

Someone clever said "Ideas are cheap - it's implementation that creates value" which is fair enough, and I can't really argue with that.
However, I do wish there was an idea marketplace, where I could dump all the ideas and half-designed games and apps and web businesses I get assaulted by but won't ever implement. Give me money for a good coffee or beer and I'll gladly give up all rights to them.
I actually came up with a business model and elevator pitch for that, years ago, which I won't make a business out of either. Because I'm to lazy and old to be an entrepreneur.
