Cast

Ted (airline)

Ted was one of two airline divisional brands of United Airlines. It targeted vacation locations in the low cost airline market, in contrast to United's high end divisional "sub-fleeted" brand called United p.s.. "Ted" comes from the last three letters in the United brand name. United marketed Ted anthropomorphically and attempted to personify Ted; it used phrases such as Meet Ted or I've Met Ted.

Due to the airline crisis caused by spiking fuel prices, on June 4, 2008, United announced that the Ted brand and services would be discontinued with the Ted aircraft being fitted with United's First Class cabin and eventually being incorporated into United's regular fleet to compensate for the removal of United's entire Boeing 737 fleet. Operations were folded back into the mainline brand on January 6, 2009.

History

Ted's creation was announced November 12, 2003, and service began February 12, 2004. It began service in Denver International Airport, a United hub, to compete with Frontier Airlines. The airline had 56 Airbus A320s with 156 all-economy seats, allowing United to compete with low-cost airlines such as Frontier Airlines. All Ted flights were operated by United crews flying under the UAL operating certificate, as Ted was not actually a certificated airline, but rather a brand name applied to differentiate the all-economy service from United's mainline flights. Therefore, because of operational needs, it was possible for one to see Ted aircraft operate as mainline United flights; in the reverse, more often mainline United aircraft operated as Ted flights because of equipment substitutions.

Ted (word processor)

Ted is a word processor for the X Window System environment, which runs on Linux and other Unix-like systems. Developed primarily by Mark de Does, Ted is a lightweight yet full-featured word processor.

It saves files in a Microsoft Word-compatible rich text format and has support for headers, footers, tables, different fonts, text alignment, and other features common in word processors. Ted has been translated into several languages.

While the program includes a spell checker, it does not check for spelling as the user types. It is a very light-weight and fast word processor, making it ideal for older computers and embedded systems.

Until version 2.17 Ted used the Motif toolkit exclusively for widget rendering. LessTif also worked. The current version (2.23) uses the GTK+ toolkit by default. It can still be built with Motif or LessTif if desired.

Ted is Free Software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Ted package is included in Debian etch, Ubuntu Hardy Heron and Gentoo Linux.

Ted (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

"Ted" is episode 11 of season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Although she tries to take Angel's (David Boreanaz) advice to allow her mother (Kristine Sutherland) to have a man who is not Hank Summers in her life, Buffy is unable to warm up to Joyce's new boyfriend, Ted (John Ritter). When Ted shows Buffy a side of himself that he keeps hidden from the others, Buffy cannot find a way to raise her valid objections without seeming like the brat Ted considers her to be. When her escalating conflict with the man has apparently lethal consequences, Buffy's resentment turns to guilt. As her friends help unravel the mystery piece by piece, however, Buffy's guilt turns to fear—Joyce is in far greater danger than anyone, even Buffy herself, could have imagined.

Plot

Buffy, Xander and Willow walk to Buffy's house, discussing the lull in vampire activity after the recent defeat (and presumed deaths) of Spike and Drusilla. Misinterpreting an odd situation, they find Joyce kissing a strange man. Joyce introduces her friend, Ted Buchanan, a salesman. He tells them that he has been seeing Joyce for quite some time now. He charms Willow and Xander with computer talk and cooking, respectively. Ted promises to make it up to Buffy for surprising her. Buffy becomes uncomfortable with Ted's 1950s sitcom mannerisms; this is not calmed by Ted's offer of miniature golf.

Plastik

Plastik (German for Plastic) is the sixth studio album by the German band Oomph!. With this album, the band changed its style to feature more pronounced synthesizer riffs, overall softer vocals and progressed drumming and guitar playing.
