OK, so I am finishing up some things for work and was wondering if I could get a little help finishing up my anniversary present for my wife.

Long story short:

* She has very few friends - those who are, she's quite close to.

* Her closest used to live in London and she hasn't seen her since I flew her out as a Valentine's Day gift in 2006.

* So I'm flying her friend & son up tomm. from Florida where they recently moved back to for Sat- Mon.

----------

My wife does not like "surprises". She has been at a two day, all-day meeting for the iLabs Consortium she is putting together. Tonight, to alert her to the gift, I am trying to put together a series of cards in this order:

1 Card from kids with 7 tickets to BOS Museum of Science for Sat - DONE
2 Card with gift certificate to favorite Indian Restaurant - DONE
3 Card with 2 certs for non-cheesy, 90s style (were at Northeastern in 90s) girls-night out plus babysitter - NEED HELP HERE
4 Card with DTP/well-designed, old school flight itinerary for friend's flights - NEED HELP HERE (this will include pic of friends)


So basically, I'm looking for someone who can find me a good template for 3 and 4 or even design one if willing....and then suggest what cardstock or Avery paper I should ask for when I run it to Staples/Kinkos tonight.

Any other ideas to make her excited are certainly welcome. I'll be getting her something small and tin, traditional of course. :) But I think the plane tickets and her best friend will be surprise enough.

I'm hoping to get this set to print by 3pm.

I plan on delivering it to her tonight when she gets home about 9pm.

Any help I get I will return with a Quid Pro Quo (I always use that term wrong) - because I do believe in karmic return of favors.

I received this request from a friend of mine on Facebook tonight in the OSINT community:

"URGENT REQUEST: Project FREEBIRD has been acquiring data at a much faster rate then expected. In order to make this informative to those that do not speak Farsi we need translators. Background checks will be required. If you have information contact myself or recruiter@science-advisors.com. FRIENDS PLEASE REPOST THIS TO YOUR WALLS!"


So I asked for a little more information for those who would obviously ask the questions:


Project FREEBIRD is the open source code name for a project to translate documents, videos and other items into English for us in a large collaborative web effort to tell the world of the events leading up to, and following the Iranian election.


This is a little similar to my efforts through The Interdictor Project (TIP) regarding taking scanner frequencies of EMS, Police, Fire, Municipality, Military & NGO streamed online during natural disasters, monitor them for salient bits of information and pass it on via various methods of Net-based communication.

Except this project seems to have a whole lot of heavy hitters in the ex-law enforcement, military and intelligence community interested in it.
