There are times when the earth aligns with the other planets, and everything is harmonious and good. This recipe is indicative of one of those times.
This is another Lombardy recipe, and they are one of the few regions in Italy where they aren't all that fond of pasta. So leave it to these folks to create a ravioli dish, minus the pasta. In the end, these are spinach and ricotta cheese dumplings, but oh..my..god..are they good.
The creaminess of the ricotta cheese blends well with the nutty spinach. Then to top it off with a basic tomato sauce, butter and parmesan cheese? Fuhgetaboutit. This is a dish that I will most assuredly make again.
The spinach requires the most work, because you have to cook it, and then remove as much water as you can from the leafs. This is not an easy task. But watery spinach will lead to your dumplings falling apart, so it's a neccessity.
- 4 lbs spinach, washed with stems removed
- 2 cups ricotta cheese, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 t nutmeg
- 1/2 cup flour
- 5 T butter, melted
Steam your spinach in a covered pan. I used my pasta pot (with its built in strainer) and that worked well. You're dealing with a lot of spinach here so be patient. Once cooked, strain your spinach in colander or sieve. Press out as much water as possible. Use your hands to squeeze out any additional water. Then place on a paper towl in order to drain. Seriously here, if you think you've done enough to remove the water, do a little more. I am intentionally belaboring a point here for the purpose of a dish.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add ricotta and mash with a fork. Add in the eggs, nutmeg, salt, pepper to taste, and 1/2 a cup of Parmesan. Before adding the spinach to the mixture, chop well. Add to the ricotta cheese, and fold in thoroughly.
Bring a pot of water to the boil. Form the ricotta cheese into balls roughly the size of walnuts. Lightly roll in flour, just enough to coat. If the flour cakes, you've a bit too much. place dumpling in boiling water. Once the dumpling floats, remove to a warmed serving dish. Once all have cooked, pour the melted butter over the malfatti and sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan.
Plate and top with a simple tomatoe sauce.
Serves 4

1300 W Sunset Rd, Henderson, NV | Directions 8901436.063823 -115.040443

Colorful, chaotic restaurant promises loaded burgers and endless fries for kids and a fully stocked bar for their parents. – In Short
With a bright red color scheme, enormous booths and TVs galore (even in the bathrooms), this loud, lively spot aims to make families feel right at home. The creative menu offers 22 different burgers--from teriyaki-marinated Bansai with grilled pineapple to the 5 Alarm with pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, salsa and chipotle mayo. Soups, salads, and entrees of fajitas, fish and chips and Cajun-spiced shrimp round out the casual American menu.
Awesome food – The food is always good. My favorite is the Royal Red Robin Cheeseburger. They have a great selection of gourmet burgers. The strawberry lemonade is the best. It has fresh strawberries and lemonade that is not too sweet or sour. Overall food is the best when you are in the mood for a huge delicious burger and never ending fries.
Best Burgers and Fries in Town – The service is always great. Drinks are always refilled immediately. The burgers and chicken sandwhiches are perfect. My two favorites are the California Chicken Burger and the Blue Ribbon Blue Cheese Burger. Strawberry Lemonade is also quite tasty.

The sports-touring Honda CBR1000F was always in the shadow of more exciting motorcycles, yet had a decade long production run. It had its good points, such as a comfortable riding position, good build quality - except for early camchain tensioner problems - and respectable handling. But the Honda CBR1000F is so bland it makes Katie Melua look like a brazen rock chick.

Immigration battle 2013: Bipartisan group of senators close to deal on immigration plan
WASHINGTON - A bipartisan group of senators on the verge of a new comprehensive immigration reform bill have tentatively agreed to the stickiest issues, like a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and metrics for securing the border, and is now working on the remaining unresolved detail: how to construct a guest worker program for the future.
A source familiar with the immigration negotiations tells CNN the eight senators, four Democrats and four Republicans, will hold their final meetings Friday before a two week spring break. The source says they feel confident that they will be ready to unveil the highly anticipated immigration bill early in the week of April 8th, when Congress returns to work.
The big outstanding issue appears to be around the future flow of low skilled guest workers who would come to the U.S. to do jobs such as maids, waiters, hotel workers or homecare workers. They are haggling over how much they would be paid, and how many worker would be allowed into the country each year.
Labor unions influencing the talks are arguing for higher pay and fewer workers per year, since they are concerned about the effect guest workers would have on American workers. The Chamber of Commerce is pushing senators for lower pay and high numbers of guest workers per year, since that will help businesses' bottom lines.
When it comes to the explosive issue of a path to citizenship, the source close to the talks tells CNN the senators have virtually agreed to a 13 year path to citizenship for the 11 million or so people currently in America illegally.
According to the tentative agreement on this issue, it would take 10 years for illegal workers to get a green card to work legally in the U.S. and then an additional three years to move towards citizenship. Illegal workers would have to pay a fine, back taxes, and have no criminal record.
The overall amount of time on the path to citizenship, 13 years, is the same as what the late Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy, Sen. John McCain, R-AZ and others agreed to in their ill fated bipartisan proposal six years ago.
The difference, however, is that plan proposed a waiting time of eight years to get a green card, and five more years to get to citizenship.
As for the current talks, the so-called Gang of Eight agreed that no illegal worker would be eligible for citizenship until the border is deemed secure -- and figuring out how to measure that has been a big part of bipartisan negotiations.
CNN is told that the senators have settled on the concept of a border commission -- a group of people tasked with determining that the border is secure, based on a set of quantifiable criteria laid out in the proposal. The commission would be made up of officials named by state and federal leaders.
Senators involved in the immigration talks include: Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, and Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colorado.

Troubled teenagers? www.relate.org.uk/teen
Not sure

Try Relate Live Chat.
Most parents would like ideas or help with their parenting at some time in their child's life. At Netmums, we're into Real Parenting – the idea that being a "good enough" parent rather than a perfect parent is simply enough. This course, which we have put together with our friends at Family Links, aims to give us parents faith in our own abilities, to know that we are "good enough".
The course comes in 3 parts with regular emails over 8 weeks (with a week off in between each part of the course).*
The Parenting Course is only available to Netmums members.
Please login or join Netmums first.
Netmums have joined with Family Links to develop this online parenting course. Family links have been running parenting courses in the UK for over a decade.
Their course is called the 'Nurturing Programme'. They know that no two families are the same, so the programme does not tell you what to do, but shares information and ideas so you can try out and see what works well for you and your family.
You can share your experiences with others as you go along. And often hearing other parents' stories is very helpful.
The programme is based on The Parenting Puzzle book. If you would like a copy of this book it is available from Family Links at www.familylinks.org.uk, we will refer to the relevant chapters throughout the programme so that you can read more about the topic if you would like to. There is also a short and fun DVD which helps to explain some of the ideas using cartoon families, also available from Family Links. Parents who have used it tell us it really helps them to put the ideas into practice in their own.
*Don't worry, you can stop the emails at any time you want to, or simply keep them and do the course at your own pace if that all seems a bit too much.

Miami >Food & Dining > Rusty Pelican
3201 Rickenbacker Cswy, Key Biscayne, FL | Directions 3314925.747662 -80.175370
Fri-Sat: 11am-12am, Sun-Thu: 11am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown Miami
THIS IS NOT THE SAME RESTAURANT THAN USED TO BE ANYMORE! Today My husband and I were invited by our very good friends to Rusty Pelican restaurant at Key Biscayne in Miami, FL. We've been there a few times before, and food, services and overall experience were always great. TODAY after their complete "renovation", including (we think owners), staff, food, decoration, etc) and even when we didn't have to pay for the food,we feel very upset, offended, insulted by what we have found. OVERPRICE, POOR FOOD QUALITY, UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE!
They are using the same location, the beautiful view, modern decoration to attract people, but everything there now is A DISASTER. We love food and have visited many restaurants, but they really steal your money in your own face without giving you anything you are expecting in return.
Our LUNCH bill was $245 (without tip), starting with the bread, 4 little slices (1 for each of us), nothing to die for, the entrees average price $15, but don't expect something great or fancy, poor elaborate, my lobster soup was just the name (didn't find any at all), the main course, average LUNCH price was $38, my husband and husband's friend meat, weren't medium rare as ordered at all, hard to cut, and small sizes.
We believe many people, like us, just go there, thinking that, this was the old place than used to be.
My advice if you want to have a great day and food: DO NOT GO THERE! I don't think they will survive for a long time playing with people's money like that. :(
OVERPRIECE FOR QUALITY – I have been to the restaurant many times prior to renovation. Our family went recently for my daughter's birthday. The new renovation is beautiful, very modern mid century. I will first say that the starters were delicious and we ordered about 7 of them. Then none of the entrees appealed to me. The ravioly dish was very dissapointing, only 5 of them and not delicious at all. My daughter ordered the whole red snapper. It was tasty but not easy to eat.
Over all the restaurant has the most beautiful view in Miami, but I will probably not go back. I will pay $23 for 5 raviolies if they are delicious, but these and the other entrees were overpriced and unmemorable.
HORRIBLE SERVICE OVERPRICED – I ve been to the restaurant a couple of times with my family last year before the renovation but this was my boyfriends first time going there. After making a reservation a week and a half in advance and calling in the same day to confirm it, we arrived there on time at 9:30pm and they told us we had to wait like 15 minute. They never even offered us to wait at the bar which was almost empty but after waiting 5 minutes we decided to ask if we could go to the bar and just went. My boyfriend and i had a drink there, then our table was ready i went alone to the host station because my boyfriend stayed paying at the bar. she took me to our table and told me she would go and take my boyfriend to the table from the bar too. She never did, i had to call him after waiting and tell him where i was sitting.
The server took our order right away i order my meat medium rare to rare i specifically said i like my meat really red inside. My Meat came barely pink inside, overcooked but worse was my boyfriend whose ravioles came cold inside! After waiting to see our waiter I decided to just stay with my overcooked meat but we gave the ravioles(too cold to be eaten) to a bussboy because our server never passed by to see how we were doing. After like 15 minutes our server reappeared and we asked him about my boyfriends ravioles. He had no idea we were waiting for them to begin with! He went to the kitchen and came back with the ravioles right away. THEY DIDNT EVEN GIVE HIM A NEW PLATE. Of the 5 little ravioles he got from the menu (85$ per person) he had eaten one. so after 15 minutes of wait they brought back only 4 ravioles of the same plate that they obviously just heated up not even bothering about the almost other that we ate cold. Whatever we ate it (me with my overcooked meat which was cold already by that time). After they brought us the dessert which was a plate with like 5 little pastries they gave me mine (perfect) and then my boyfriends with only 4 pastries. we obviously noticed the difference right away and the sever just said oops one of the pastries must have fallen off and left the plate like that in front of my boyfriend and left!! He obviously waited and thought that after saying that he was coming back with a new plate or at least one with just the one he was missing but no, he never did. without changing and bringing his dessert plate complete or without saying i ll be back with the pastry you are missing without even the slightest apology! After that we just asked for an expresso and the bill. After everything that had happend he didn't even apologized or offered us the expresso and worse the 18% (definitely not deserved) gratuity were included in the total of our bill overpriced bill!! This was definitely my worst Valentines experience ever and for the 250$ we had to pay you would have expected way more specially from the server. My boyfriend and I we both work in nice restaurants and know how it is and we hate complaining, we really are pretty easy clients but that was just too much. Not worth it at all!
Fine Dining – This a beautiful venue. A rustic setting, nestled away from the traffic, surrounded by tropical flowering and a breathtaking view of the sea from every angle. Beautiful fireplaces, wooded flooring - nice country setting. The staff was wonderful from the reservation to the waiting. Cory was absolutely awesome and that contributed to our pleasant dining experience. The food was wonderful and the servings more than adequate. We brought our own dessert, a beautiful cake for my daughter's graduation. They provided a cake table for it to be beautifully displayed. There were other functions going on, and other lunch guests, but you would never know that. The background music was soothing and the seating was comfy. Would definitely recommend.
Great Wedding on 1/1/11 – We held our daughter's wedding on 1/1/11 using the patio for the ceremony and the left lounge for the buffet reception. The customer service provided by Elsa and Kimberly was fantastic along with the banquet manager who kept the event flowing and all were very accommodating. The planning process and communications improved greatly as we approached our event day. When I considered the volume of events they pull off every day, I understood why they could not respond to my frequent phone calls months prior to the event day.The buffet food was fresh and presented well. I would recommend the Rusty Pelican for any bride looking for an intimate venue with great service and food. The Jones Family
I have no comeplaints about the rusty pelican.... not one the service is excelent the food is good also but the view over looking biscayne bay is in my opinion,sexy check it out.
Christmas Eve Nightmare – We made dinner reservations for 8pm, Christmas Eve. We were seated and ordered our appetizers & entrees by about 8:20pm. At about 9:45pm we started to question the waitress about our food and she said it was coming "right away." 10pm came by and NO FOOD~ A man came to our table and asked us if the manager had come by our table to speak with us, "we said no." Bottom line, no food, we walked out at 10:10pm... No dinner, no explanation as to what was going on! NEVER AGAIN!!!
They just extended their lease for another 20 years, I don't think they will be around that long.
horrible – Better meal at McDonalds!!
Better Than The Reviews – Despite the negative reviews posted here, I've yet to have a bad meal at the Rusty Pelican. The new menu is a major step up from previous offerings. Give it a try.
Avoid this tourist trap like the plague – Waiters with attitude, incompetent front desk and poor quality food, Don't complain they will get upset

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Charlotte Ronson

Charlotte Ronson - New York Spring 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Charlotte Ronson's first showing in Bryant Park turned into a literal sh*tshow. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson tried to sit down, but they had to go backstage because the paparazzi were just too intense; they came back twenty minutes later to an even larger hoard of paparazzi. IMG PR were stealing press badges, and guests were going nuts: the collection started with applause and screams before a single model even walked down the runway. Charlotte showed a lot of denim looks paired with girly, flowery pieces, and the majority of the outfits were paired with sheer mid-calf socks and her famous wedge shoes. Her inspiration: "Music, concerts, I was discovering my style in fashion growing up in the 80s and early 90s," Ronson said. "It's about going to your favorite shows, and what you would wear." Lindsay was in a look from the new collection.

First and foremost, deciding whether to hire a nanny or go the daycare route is strictly a personal decision and depends on what is right for your family's needs. Even as someone who owns a nanny agency, I could never say that one is better than the other. They both have their pros and cons.
For example, having someone at home with your child certainly provides a lot of one-on-one attention and opens up a bit of freedom for you as a parent. Instead of rushing to pick your child up from daycare and get dinner on the table, you can return home to a child that has already been fed and bathed. Also, having a child in daycare can sometimes, although not always, expose him/her to more colds and/or other sicknesses that come with being around a lot of children.
On the flip side, placing your child in daycare allows him/her to interact with more children and allows him/her to get acclimated to a classroom setting at a young age. Daycare can also be the more economical way to go. However, depending upon how many children you have in daycare, how many hours you require them to be there, and whether or not your schedule ever keeps you late at work, that cost can fluctuate. I know some parents who have actually saved money by hiring a nanny as opposed to putting all of their children in daycare.
When making the decision between hiring a nanny and choosing a daycare, ask these questions:

Nothing Matters - Nobody cares
Posted by Legolas on 07/22/2004
If all goes smooth, Southwest employees are friendly, happy and well. As soon as problems arise, the employees completely and miserably fail: I arrived at the airport 2 hours ahead, as requested, checked my luggage and was rewarded with an A Boarding Pass. I waited in the boarding area and got nervous because the counter wasn't occupied 30 min before takeoff. I wandered around, went to another SW counter, asked and was told that my flight had been cancelled and that I had to take a later flight - there never was an announcement! I guess other travelers are used to cancelled flights and constantly ask at unrelated counters. The person at the new check-in did not care that I would be in a hurry and that I really should get my A status back - I was now a B and very nervous because I had to connect to a flight to Europe. She almost trashed my luggage claim when she reissued my boarding pass, I found out later that these claims are unnecessary and dont matter anyway when you fly with Southwest. She also stated that she never heard that people have to check in 3 hours early for an international flight (which was now dwindling down to less than 1 hour). However, I now had time again and went to Customer Service: I explained the situation ... but they also did not care, they actually doubted my statements (no announcements about cancelled flight and the 3 hours advanced check-in) and said the flight would surely wait for me (HaHa) and if not, I could take the next one, HaHaHa. When we finally boarded, an additional 25 min delayed, I couldn't get a seat near the front because of my B status. AT THIS POINT, I HAD BEEN AT THE AIRPORT FOR ALMOST 4 HOURS. I was so nervous that I could hardly talk and my heart was beating rapidly. I told the flight attendant that I had to catch a flight to Europe and that I needed assistance to guide me through the airport rapidly, get my luggage, switch terminals and board the overseas flight. She responded very friendly and said that a supervisor would be there when I arrive. I was saved, I thought. The supervisor was there on arrival (I guess they always are, I just never noticed before) and told me to go to the service counter to get help, I know now he also did not care and only wanted to get rid of me quickly. I raced out of the plane to the counter. . . where I received absolutely no help. Opposite, the slow person at the counter took up more of my time and also did not care. I sprinted to the luggage area, couldnt find my bag, started to run around, shaking, and suddenly discovered my bag, sitting unattended off to the side, close to the exit in an unguarded area. I grabbed the bag, ran into the customer service office to quickly complain and maybe get them to make up my lost time, but they just smiled and said "OK", when I pointed out that anybody could have taken my bag, they also did not care. I was seriously late and still had to find out how to get to the international terminal. . . I caught my flight, but only because I am healthy and in good shape. Bottom-line: I recommend Southwest, if somebody is in no hurry and wants to fly cheap; however, if a person is not athletic and really needs to arrive at a certain time, I recommend traveling with a serious airline that employs educated people who care about future business.

I don't know what has happened to Southwest Airlines. My family and friends have flown with them since 1993. They used to be much more sensitive and friendly. Nowadays they act as if they are doing me a favor. They canceled my flight from New Orleans to Nashville without making an announcement. We ended up sitting in the airport for 5 hours. The woman at the counter couldn't even look me in the eye when I questioned her about this. She actually asked me if I wanted my money back?! If I didn't have to be at work the next morning I would have said yes and rented a car. Actually we could have driven in less time after this debacle was over. I avoid this 'low fare' airline. Pay the extra money and avoid this low 'CUSTOMER SERVICE' airline. I also avoid their 1/2 hour A&E commercial.

Cattle Lines for Seats
Posted by TH on 06/30/2004
Southwest Airlines would not be bad if they would assign seats on a first come / first served basis. The boarding passes are sequentially numbered so it should be easy. The way it is now you have to stand in line for an hour. This causes people who appear to have no physical disabilities to request early boarding. I guess that would be called the A+ line. They seem to be forced to stand as well. This whole thing is absolutlely ridiculous. In fact I would probably never use this airline if it weren't the only nonstop flight between Albuquerque, NM and Baltimore, MD. The flights are not really cheaper than the other airlines as far as I can tell, either. They just have most people fooled into thinking so.
If seats were assigned, one could stay seated in the boarding area until it was actually time to board the aircraft.
Here is an idea: Instead of using A, B, and C, use the serialized number on the boarding pass. They could then announce: Boarding passes 1 through 20 may now board the airline, then 21 through 40, etc. until the last person boarded the plane. Still a first come / first served basis, but no lines. How is that for an idea?

southwest does work on a first come first serve basis. Also those who do not appear to have disabilities can still have them
Posted by Sparticus on 2004-06-30:
Southwest does have an ordered bording system. It is by groups. The earlier you check in, the earlier group you get in. Then it is a free-for-all within each group.
Posted by joebass on 2004-07-05:
why would you want to board first? So you can spend more time sitting in a cramped chair than anyone else? Smart people board last. The plane won't leave without you.
Posted by Miriam on 2004-07-06:
You have it exactly right. This is why I switched from Southwest to America West. At America West you get a seat assignment and don't have to get to the airport at least 2 hours early in order to get an "A" boarding pass. I really liked Southwest, but the standing around for over an hour with everyone cutting everyone off, got to be too much. America West was my option.

I'm sorry, but I have nothing but PRAISE for Southwest. Want to talk about a lousy airline with awful service? American Airlines beats all of the others HANDS DOWN!!!
Posted by qtpi on 2004-07-25:
Yes, American Airlines sucks. I missed a connection recently because my first flight was delayed 90 minutes. As we were landing, I saw my commuter flight leaving and then of course, they lost my luggage. The girl at the lost luggage counter said "No wonder you missed your flight-you only left one minute between flights which is not near enough." I wanted to jump across the counter and throttle her.
Posted by Legolas on 2004-07-28:
Their system does not work: My flight was cancelled and therefore my A boarding pass was changed to the B group. After waiting in the airport for over 3 hours I was downgraded, is that fair?
Posted by rasher on 2004-11-14:
Sounds like you have not flown Southwest very long. Before 9/11, they boarded in groups of 30 just as you describe. But people still stood in line long before boarding. It is something to do with the human condition and not having a specific seat.
Personally I am fine with it because I know if they assigned seats at the counter or gate first come first served, lines would be much longer as people hemmed and hawed about their choices. That or staffing would have to dramatically increase resulting in higher fares.
As for the fares, several academic studies found Southwest to consistently provide the lowest average fare between cities it served. But they almost never had the lowest available fare. How so? Because other airlines would offer a couple seats at lower fare to undercut advertised rates. After those seats sold out, tickets were considerably more expensive. But Southwest provided much lower walk-up fares and substantial discounts on many advanced purchase tickets.

If you knew how to use a computer, you could print your boarding pass online the night before. Then you could get to the airport right before the plane leaves and board as the last of the A line and be on board before 66% of the plane.
Posted by Travel Assistant on 2006-02-28:
What you suggested is pretty much how it works. The firt 40 people to check in get the A Passes, so in essence, they board passes 1-40 first, then the next 40 (group B), then the last C (which stands for "Check your bags" or "center seat".
The good news is that you can actual pay a service company to log in and reserve your boarding pass for you 24 hours prior to your flight. There are 3 such companies, and ours i one of them.

Make Your Complaint Count
Posted by Safety_first on 08/15/2007
If you want your complaint against Southwest Airlines to count, make sure you send a copy of your complaint to the Aviation Consumer Protection Division.
The Aviation Consumer Protection Division of the DOT compiles individual travelers' complaints against U.S. airlines and issues monthly public complaint summaries. Those summaries get a lot of press and they're used as input to numerous airline comparisons, including the annual "Airline Quality Rating" scores published by Nebraska and Wichita State universities.
If enough people complain about Southwest Airlines to the Aviation Consumer Protection Division, then Southwest gets a bad name in the news and fewer people will fly it. The Aviation Consumer Protection's Division contact information is:

Southwest has consistantly placed near the top of the list (i.e. the best) on all three criteria they measure.

Good post. It should apply to all airlines. Not that it will really help but the traveling public can access this info to help make an informed decision before buying tickets.
Posted by Ponie on 2007-08-15:
Have flown Southwest dozens of times. Never any problems. If they service my destination city, I'll choose them over others. Of course, I'm not one who thinks the world revolves around me. At times my flights have been delayed for an hour or even longer, but I like to people-watch, read, or--even hoist a few while waiting. Just don't do too much of the last activity if you want to get on the next available flight. :)
Good information.
Posted by rnick821 on 2007-08-15:
I'll remember this complaint next time United jacks up my travel plans. I fly more and more lately, and Southwest is the only airline that I consistently appreciate for its good service and on-time departures and arrivals. I just go "MOOO" and move in with the rest of the cattle.

Improved Boarding Plan
Posted by on 12/13/2007
I recently flew Southwest Airlines and was very impressed with their new boarding procedure.
Before when you received your boarding pass, you were either in Group A, B or C and had to wait in line for an endless amount of time until boarding time if you wanted to get a decent seat on the plane.
The new plan still involves Group A, B and C, but you now have a number on your boarding pass so you can line up in order right before boarding the plane--hence, no more standing in line for an hour. If you check-in on-line the day before your flight, you will usually be in Group A and have your pick of seats once you are aboard.
Southwest Airlines seems to have pleasant employees and usually has pretty good on-time records (except for weather delays that can't be helped). Another plus is that they have never lost my luggage!
I think some of the airlines are actually listening and trying to make for better travel experiences--and returning passengers.

I flew Southwest when we went to Florida and it was great. One of the few airlines left that let the kids go into the cockpit and allowed me to take pictures of it. I didn't like the seating, but since they've changed it I will try to book with them when we go see my mom in February.

A couple of weeks ago my GF flew Southwest to visit me in DC. She too loved the boarding procedures and I loved the $237.20 round trip ticket. Southwest rocks!
Good write up dianec! (VH)
Posted by MaxxBNA on 2008-01-02:
I just flew a couple of segments on Southwest, and the new boarding process is a breeze. My "number in line" was slightly lower when I checked in 24 hours ealier because I'd paid a lower fare, but still got in the A group. The gate agents made multiple announcements both times about the new procedures, and no one started lining up before the plane ever got to the gate as in the past. We still pushed back a couple of minutes prior to scheduled departure both times, so those who say this procedure doesn't work are wrong. Both my flights were 100% full too.
Lots of people like to trash Southwest because of this new procedure, or the fact they have open seating. I just don't get the beef. I travel them 20-25 segments a year and have never had one complaint, ever. As for the other airlines, I can list problems with every one I've used at least once.
There is a reason Southwest is the most profitable airline in US history, and that they have they fewest complaints year after year. They treat their customers as guests. Their employees seem to love their jobs and do not look upon passengers as an annoynance.
Kudos to Southwest, keep up the good work.

Theft from Checked Luggage
Posted by ErinBrogan.2669 on 09/23/2011
Almost three weeks ago now, I flew Southwest Airlines via Midway (MDW) airport to Phoenix (PHX) Skyharbor Int'l Airport. When I arrived at my destination, my Macbook, GPS & bag of jewelry were no longer in my checked luggage I pulled directly off the belt.
The Phoenix police looked at security tapes leaving only one location left, Chicago. The police in Chicago did nothing but mail me a letter confirming I called them about 7 days AFTER I returned home from vacation.
It could only have been either a Southwest employee after my dad and I dropped our bags off at the curbside checkin or a TSA employee scanning our bags, as my dad received a notification in his bag, but I did not (what thief would promote his job title?). Now to clearly think like a thief, the Southwest employee would have to rush to get our bags on the plane, because we were definitely running to catch the flight. They have no idea what is packed in the bag, and just turn it over to TSA before it enters the belt onto the plane. The TSA agent, on the other hand, screened the bag, knowing full well what was inside, with no need to ruffle the bottom portion of my luggage (which was left neatly packed exactly as I had left it and strapped in). So, there is a TSA thief still working at Midway Airport. Almost three weeks later I finally was able to contact someone at Midway working in TSA who stated, "I received your complaint pertaining to your missing items from your checked luggage. While we have had numerous incidents here at Chicago Midway similar to yours, we have found that no TSA employee at Chicago Midway has been involved with any missing items from passengers luggage. However, we have no problem with investigating this issue for you. In order to do so, I am in need of some additional information." I sent this information all in already, but sure I can forward ANOTHER copy. With all the talk of the drug rings, money hoards, and IPODS down pants, I assume full well this guy is going to be no help, not look at the tapes and rather continue to support his lying, thieving employee. Communication with airlines and airline affiliated government programs, such as TSA, is horrible. After three weeks, do you really think you are going to recover my things? Something should have been done immediately, not just paperwork, but actual physical search of the videos and employees the second that call was made for future customer satisfaction and future flying safety. If this guy is checking bags, what does that say about the safety of our country? Nothing. He's too preoccupied with his own money scheme.
All Chicago, Midway fliers need to be aware that their bags are not safe.

I never pack any valuables (jewelry, electronics, etc) in checked luggage, mostly due to the risk of the bag being damaged or lost.
Posted by Skye on 2011-09-23:
Something you might want to consider for the future. We always send our valuables ahead, using Federal Express, this way we know they'll be there when we arrive at our destination. I never travel with lots of jewelry myself personally, so that's just another precaution we take.
Yes, a hassle sometimes but worth the price and peace of mind, since you cannot trust what happens to your luggage in the interim, with all the hands and departments it has to pass through.
Posted by At Your Service on 2011-09-23:
Very good comments trmn8r and Skye. Spot on!
Posted by Fisher1949 on 2011-09-24:
Crime is rampant within TSA and they protect those guilty of robbing passengers.
Last year there were over 1,000 theft complaints at LaGuardia alone and only three arrests.
There have been 52 TSA screeners arrested this year for serious crimes, including two this week, one for rape and the other for murder. Of these, nine arrests were for sex crimes involving children.
They canât prevent crime within their own ranks, but weâre supposed to trust this agency with airport security.
No wonder TSA complaints are up 40% over last year, This version of security is unacceptable and those responsible must be held accountable. TSA needs to be abolished and Pistole fired for mismanagement and malfeasance.

Poor Customer Care
Posted by Stunned on 08/31/2007
FT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA -- My family and I flew from Austin, TX to Miami to go on a cruise. We booked 4 round trip flights using the Rapid Rewards from the SWAir Visa card purchases. Unfortunately we had to fly back Sunday because there were no Saturday seats available. Upon arriving in Miami, we went to pick up our luggage and Lo' and Behold only 4 of the 5 bags show up. We were certainly off to a bad start, but around 2:00 AM SWAir found our suitcase, still on the ground in Austin. So they ship it to us. Inconvenient, but not a huge deal. Decent but not outstanding service so far.
However, on our flight back, we were booked for a Sunday red eye flight even though the ship returned Saturday morning. My wife calls numerous times to try to book a Saturday flight since with Rapid Rewards you can rebook anytime. This would get us home a day earlier. She is finally told that there are 2 seats available to Austin, and 2 seats to San Antonio. Yuk...but hey, what can you do? We decide to split the family across these two flights so we can get home a day early even though it is extremely inconvenient. I would fly with my son to Austin, pick up the car, then drive 85 miles to San Antonio and pick up my wife and daughter. We tell the ticket agent to make it happen. She cancels my son and I and books us to Austin. She then goes to cancel my wife and daughter and says "oops, the San Antonio flights are no longer available". We tell her to rebook us back to the Sunday flights then. She informs us that the Sunday seats are no longer available. I am getting pretty angry and upset by this time and ask her what she suggests we do about this.
I was not going to leave my Wife and Daughter alone in Ft Lauderdale because SWAir can't get their act together. She then tells us that she can book my wife and daughter on the same flight my son and I are on, but that they can't use the Rapid Rewards tickets because she did not have any Rapid Reward seats available!! Seats are available, but not for "our kind"? So we have to pay $670 to fly together because the ticket agent was too dumb to grab all 4 reservations when we told her to. I am thinking at this point that I am going to take this up with SWA afterwards, they are bound to see my point of view and make this good. When we complain, however, they only offer to refund us $300 in credit towards a future flight in the next 12 months. SWAir treated us like they were giving us free flights. However, we earned those tickets by participating in a program they earn profit from. I fly SWAir a LOT (or at least I did until now), and I am going to raise a stink in every forum I can find.
They can and apparently did rip me off of $670, but I will make sure my story gets told just in case anyone still thinks SWAir is an honest, reputable, service oriented company. Perhaps my story will cost them $600 in business. I hope it costs them many multiples. I am going to return my business to Discover and get my 3% back. SWAir has just offended another frequent flier. I was once a fan and stockholder (albeit very minor) of SWAir...but absolutely never again.

Posted by chris513 on 2007-08-31:
ok, let's break this one down. First off, let me put down that I am not a fan of Southwest at all, but, let me try to help you.
First off, you say the airline makes a profit off of you using a credit card. They really don't. In fact, airlines are more annoyed by credit card holders who try to demand the world. No offense meant at all. The credit card company is the one who gains most of the profit. Just an FYI.
Second. Lost baggage. Yeah, that does suck. You are extremely lucky to have it recovered for you in less than 24 hours and the fact that you say "decent, but not outstanding" leads me to believe that you are a typical CC holder. I see them pretty much on a weekly basis when I fly. The airline gets quite a bit of my money, but it is because I am hopping on board airplanes. Not putting Applebee's on my "rapid rewards credit card"
Third. Complaining about a lack of mileage seats. If the airline gave away every seat on the plane for free, do you really think they would be in business? You are extremely lucky to get a free trip, albeit, a slight bit inconvienent, it is free. You wouldn't even be having this complaint if they gave away EVERY seat because SW would have went under years ago if that was there practice. Suck it up. I could think of worse places to be stuck than FLA.
Fourth. Ripping on the person over the phone? A little ridiculous. I am sure she tried her hardest to get you those seats, and to be honest, if you were that pissed about her "losing" the seats, you would have asked to speak w/ a supervisor at that time.
Fifth. Owning stock in LUV. Owning stock in pretty much any airline is kind of foolish. Trust me, there are plenty of better industries to buy in.
All in all, I understand you had a bad trip, and some of your complaints are valid, but for the most part, you sound like another airline credit card holder who expects the world. If i was flying from anywhere in Texas to Florida, i think American Airlines would be my first choice. Living in phoenix, I choose US Airways...guess it's just a personal preference. Please do not think I am coming down on you, I was just trying to explain the airline game to you.
Posted by Stunned on 2007-09-07:
I almost do not know where to begin here. To say that SWAir does not make anything off the SW Visa card is absurd. Obviously, Southwest Airlines is not so altruistic that they provide free transportation for Visa cardholders. Nor did I "demand the world", I merely wanted to fly from Texas to Florida and have a change of underwear when I got there. Other passengers expected that, so I do not think I am unreasonable to expect it also, even for "free".
Second, decent but not outstanding is not slander. The agent could have smiled a little, been a little sympathetic about the fact that we were booked for a hotel in Miami but stuck in Ft Lauderdale. She could have been outstanding at customer service, but she chose just to earn her paycheck and that is all. This is not a negative comment, just a neutral observation of her performance on that particular occasion.
In addition, if you do not put Applebee's on a Rapid Rewards Credit Card or some other equivalent, then all you got was a "decent" meal. Many might say "DUH..." here, but I will be polite. I got a decent meal and a trip to Florida. I have a little trouble feeling stupid here, sorry. Remember, you are the one who started giving unsolicited financial advice.
Third, there were seats available! The only "free" seats that SWAir had to haul back to Texas were the empty ones. Unless, of course you prescribe to the ridiculous argument that SWAir is flying anyone with a Visa card free of charge. I have some ocean front property for sale close to Phoenix. Are you interested? As for "sucking it up, there are worse places you could be stuck than Florida"...guess if I lived in Arizona I would rather be in Florida too.
Fourth, who said I "ripped the ticket agent" on the phone? Read again, and you will see that I only asked her what she suggested we do about this. She suggested we pay the extortion or they would just fly empty seats home and we could walk. You should probably understand here that I work in a customer service industry. Our company motto is "handling exceptions exceptionally well". I was not asking SWAir to unload you off the plane. I know you are special since I am "flying free". As far as asking for a supervisor, it was the weekend...did I fail to mention that? A supervisor was not available. Therefore, I agreed to pay the extortion and complain later to someone who could do something about it. So far, they have not been interested (possibly because I fly "free").
Fifth, owning stock in anything can be profitable if you know how to trade. But, after your stock has been in the crapper for a few years, maybe it is time to step back and listen to your customers. However, you are right; maybe I should buy stock in JPMChase, since they are smart enough to get Airlines to offer flights at no charge just to make their credit cards more appealing. You have to admit, that is a stroke of absolute genius if you are indeed correct.
You make so many derogatory references to "Airline Credit Card Holders" that I think I can detect a hint of jealousy. You too can have a credit card...just apply. They might even have Airline debit cards in case you do not qualify. Please do not think I am coming down on you, I just cannot tell whether you are snobbish or jealous about the credit card thing.
And finally, I was not soliciting help. I was relating an unsatisfactory experience with SWAir in case it helped anyone who was on the fence about which airline to choose make up their mind. You indicate that you are no fan of Southwest Airlines, and I'll take that at face value. It is a little odd, though, that you just randomly read posts about Southwest Air and feel impelled to defend their policies and their employees against disgruntled customers.
Posted by chris513 on 2007-09-13:
well, i was going to come back on this, but obviously, you can not handle any feedback. i was trying to give you advice and educate you on how airlines work. i am very educated on the subject and just wanted to help you make sense of things. read what i wrote again before you run your mouth. and, for the record, i didn't realize we had ocean front property here in phoenix.
i could write a book on how you have contradicted yourself, but you are obviously only in the mood to argue, not to learn.

I have to agree, you sound very educated...you certainly do.

Southwest Airlines Lied to Me
Posted by Wsx59 on 07/25/2013
Southwest Airlines called me twice to tell me my flight was delayed 1 hour. Then when I showed up to the gate one hour before the departure time they told me they had already given my seat away and would not let me on the flight. They never called to say the flight was leaving early.

Sometimes delayed flights end up leaving much sooner than expected if the weather/mechanical/crew/whatever problem causing the delay ends sooner than expected.
Posted by Unacceptable Service on 2013-07-27:
They did the exact same thing to me on a flight leaving Long Island headed to Birmingham last month with a connecting flight in Baltimore. They attendants said they would hold all connecting flights because the LI takeoff was delayed. We arrived to our gate ON TIME and were told the plane was full and they sold our seats. We got to standby and watch them close the gate and the plane we were supposed to be on leave the terminal. We were stranded overnight in a city where we knew no one, was told the only thing the could do was put us on a plane the NEXT MORNING. I had to buy a hotel room and they refused to foot the bill!

IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentYang Yong Jan 18, 2011 3:41 AM
Hi Jesper,
After failed to deploy amdin-console.war to Jetty, we had a new plan to start developing the plugin.
OK, at first I have to say, the goal of the new plan is just making us start to write code right now in current situation.
The current situation is:
1) AS7 is not ready and changing fast
2) Admin Console for AS7 is not ready, it means no rhq-jbossas-7-plugin currently, which will provide the apis to interact with AS7 and is the parent plugin of IronJacamar one
The new plan may include 3 steps to approach the final goal.
1) We'd like to wrap a EmbeddedJCA just like the test cases in IronJacamar, and the EnbeddedJCA will run in the rhq agent environment, and will be started with the plugin. In the plugin, we access the management model directly.
2) We'll wrap an interface for locating IronJacamar's management model, if time is ready to intergrate in AS7, we just need to provide another implementation to support AS7, by ServerManager or other.
3) If we really need RHQ based console in standaonle IronJacamar, we need to wait until next generation admin console of AS7 is ready, since rhq plugin container and the IronJacamar are in one process, so the management model can be accessed directly like 1), so we almost don't need to do any change to the plugin to support this feature.
OK, although 1) looks ugly, but it should work and can drive we start now
1. IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentJesper Pedersen Jan 18, 2011 2:49 PM (in response to Yang Yong)
Yeah, just go with 1) now.
2. Re: IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentLin Gao Jan 21, 2011 3:49 AM (in response to Jesper Pedersen)
Hi, Jesper:
I have been able to start the EmbeddedJCA container in the RHQ plugin environment,
and now needs to deploy some resources to be manged.
I tried with the jdbc-local.rar which comes from build/adapters/jdbc-local.rar and the hsqldb-ds.xml
which comes from JBoss AS 6 binary, both of the deployment have some issues.
Is it ture that the current IronJacama does not support deployment of .rar resources which are for
JCA 1.0/1.5 and deployment of *-ds.xml resources which has the element: '<local-tx-datasource>' yet?
When I tried to deploy the jdbc-local.rar, there is no
deployed, because the
RADeployer.checkActivation(Connector cmd, IronJacamar ijmd)
returns false due to no META-INF/ironjacamar.xml in the jdbc-local.rar file.

You need to use the resource adapters from IronJacamar:
jdbc-local and jdbc-xa.
Also you need to use the new datasource XSD for defining a datasource:
You can check out the H2TestCase on how to deploy a datasource:
Having said that, start with a standard resource adapter (!= datasource) - you can create one using the code generator in docs/codegenerator - the key is to create a JCA 1.6 resource adapter with confidential and dynamic properties and which is bidirectional.

The H2TestCase does not pass because of an exception:

5. Re: IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentLin Gao Jan 25, 2011 3:40 AM (in response to Lin Gao)
I got the reason:
org.jboss.jca.common.metadata.AbstractParser.attributeAsString(XMLStreamReader reader, String attributeName){ return reader.getAttributeValue("", attributeName) == null ? null : reader.getAttributeValue("", attributeName) .trim(); }
should be changed to:
org.jboss.jca.common.metadata.AbstractParser.attributeAsString(XMLStreamReader reader, String attributeName){ return reader.getAttributeValue(null, attributeName) == null ? null : reader.getAttributeValue(null, attributeName) .trim(); }
For the namespaceURI in method
XMLStreamReader.getAttributeValue(String namespaceURI, String attributeName)
If the namespaceURI is null the namespace is not checked for equality
6. Re: IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentLin Gao Jan 25, 2011 4:10 AM (in response to Jesper Pedersen)
Two questions:
1. When a .rar is deployed, both RADeployer and RAActivator will be used to deploy the file in turn, thus 2 managed connectors are registered to the ManagementRepository for the same .rar file. And only the one registered by RAActivator has the ManagedConnectionFactory.
Is it correct?

2. The managedconnectionfactory-class will be defined in META-INF/ra.xml, and the class will be put on the jar file which will be put on the rar file. so shall we need the jar file in the classpath out side of the rar file? I copied the rar file generated by the Ra10dtdoutTestCase to the IronJacamar sjc/deploy directory, it complains ClassNotFoundException:

Another question:
When DsXmlDeployer is used to deploy "*-ds.xml", it works after fixing the XMLStreamReader.getAttributeValue() issue mentioned in above comment, but there is no managed Connector registered to ManagementRepository. Should it be? if not, how to get the deployed datasources ?
8. Re: IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentJesper Pedersen Jan 25, 2011 9:37 AM (in response to Lin Gao)

It depends on how you deploy the file - I suggest that you include an ironjacamar.xml file in the .rar archive where you specify the JNDI bindings. That way RAActivator won't pick up the archive.
Another solution is to disable the RAActivator bean - see the user guide - deploy the archive, and then deploy the -ra.xml file with the JNDI bindings.
The managedconnectionfactory-class will be defined in META-INF/ra.xml, and the class will be put on the jar file which will be put on the rar file. so shall we need the jar file in the classpath out side of the rar file?
No, the .rar archive must be self-contained - e.g. contain all classes. The localtransaction.rar you have attached is incorrect, since it only contains two classes.
I suggest to use the code generator to generate the test archives you need - or use the helloworld example that is in the documentation.

Datasources are a special case, and are therefore not currently registered in the ManagementRepository. We will get to that later once the RHQ infrastructure is up and running.
Start with a standard resource adapter, f.ex. one that is generated by the code generator.

Hi Lin Gao,
That test is working perfectly on my laptop. We had experienced problems with another contributor using an old version of OpenJDK (in particular was rhel-1.16.b17.el5-x86_64). Any problems have gone away upgrading OpenJDK to latest version or using Sun JDK. Can you try one of these solutions?

Yes, the unit tests work perfectly when I using Sun JDK.
Thanks, Stefano.
12. Re: IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentLin Gao Jan 26, 2011 4:41 AM (in response to Jesper Pedersen)
I can deploy the rar generated using code generator successfully.
Next step for me is to get the jndi name of the connection factories, and the transaction support type of the connection factories, from ManagementRepository class. But it seems that the ManagementRepository does not provide such methods, any idea on this?
13. Re: IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentJesper Pedersen Jan 26, 2011 9:23 AM (in response to Lin Gao)
Start with the information already available in the ManagementRepository.
Connector - ResourceAdapter - ConfigProperty - (operations) - ManagedConnectionFactory - ConfigProperty - PoolConfiguration - Pool - (operations) - AdminObject - ConfigProperty
The above will give an overview of the deployed resource adapters. Just start with a read-only view of the model.
We need to see if the current model will work in all scenarios before we expand it with new information - stuff like statistics aren't included yet either.
14. Re: IronJacamar RHQ plugin developmentLin Gao Jan 27, 2011 6:12 AM (in response to Jesper Pedersen)
Diagram above is the screenshot of current implementation of the proof of concept code.
The localtransaction.rar/notransaction.rar/xatransaction.rar are the real data generated using the code generator(all of them are JCA 1.6), and deployed in the EmbeddedJCA container.
Each .rar in the diagram represents a connector, and the string displayed here is the uniqueId of the connector.
There is one ManageConnectionFactory instance for each .rar deployment in this case, and they are accessible from RHQ plugin, but I don`t know how to display them, here the 'No Tx ConnectionFactory' is the faked data. So I need a string to display them and identify them. Jndi name is the best choice I think, so I need a way to get the jndi name from org.jboss.jca.core.api.management package.
