It will stay with the comet for the next 12 months, following its orbit around the Sun. Be sure to keep an eye on Phil Plait's excellent blog for more updates on Rosetta and Philae.

Jake Roberts
Real Name
Aurelian Smith
Date of Birth
May 30, 1955
Place of Birth
Since a lot of wrestlers have been making a decent amount of money doing these conventions, Jake Roberts decided to contact the people in charge of the Wizard World Comic Con, as the WWE legend wanted to work the event in Chicago. He revealed on Twitter that he was rejected, as event promoters did not feel that he would be enough of a draw.
March 22, 2014
In one of the more interesting story lines in Georgia Championship Wrestling and professional wrestling in general, Ronnie Garvin once mortgaged his house, in order to come up with $10,000, so that Jake Roberts would agree to give him a shot at the television championship. Garvin ended up winning the title off of Roberts in the rematch.
February 15, 2014
While making an appearance at the Comic Con event in southern California, Scott Steiner was asked about his relationship with WWE. He stated that the company has tried to get him to sign a Legends contract in the past. However, Steiner revealed that he did not sign the deal because his lawyers advised him against doing such a thing because WWE would basically own his name.
August 9, 2014
News coming out of Comic Con is that a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy has already been set. For WWE fans, that means that Batista will need more time off to work on the film. No word yet on whether or not he plans to remain in the professional wrestling industry since his movie career is moving forward, however. Depending on the success of the first film, Batista could land other roles in Hollywood, which would entice him to leave WWE.
July 27, 2014
Fans in attendance at the Comic Con event in San Diego this week have a chance to meet Christopher Daniels. The former TNA star has a booth there to promote his comic book. Daniels was paid a visit by Daniel Bryan, who was sent to the show by WWE to help promote the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The two of them had a nice talk and posed for a social media picture together.
July 25, 2014
A lot of fans were hoping to see John Cena next month at the Comic Con event in San Antonio. They're going to be a little bit disappointed because WWE has been forced to pull the heavyweight champion from the event. The belief is that he needs the time to film a new movie. To make things up to the fans, WWE is sending Bray Wyatt, Brie Bella and Nikki Bella.
July 3, 2014
Over the last several weeks, TNA has been generating quite the buzz, including a big announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta about doing Bound For Glory 2014 in Japan. Now, the company is hyping up a huge announcement that will be taking place at the London Film and Comic Con event. No official word yet on what the announcement will be, but some are speculation that TNA could be doing a pay per view in England soon.
June 30, 2014
While management might not be a big fan of Adam Rose, he does have a supporter in Batista. At the Comic Con event in Philadelphia over the weekend, Batista told the fans, who were there to hear him speak about the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie, that Rose was someone in WWE that people should keep an eye on. That show of support is unlikely to have an effect on management, though.
June 24, 2014
It looks like WWE is throwing quite a bit of faith into Paige. Aside from giving her the Divas Championship on the special episode of Monday Night Raw following Wrestlemania 30, management is also sending her to the big Comic Con event in Chicago. This is considered one of the bigger events of its kind, so the fact that they chose Paige instead of a Total Divas cast member is a telling sign.
May 20, 2014
In a sign that WWE wants his character to hit the mainstream, Bray Wyatt has been booked for Comic Con event in Chicago in August. Previously, management had instructed Wyatt to avoid doing any media appearances and interviews to preserve his character. Now, they're having him work a huge public event with John Cena, Batista, Paige and Bruno Sammartino.
May 20, 2014
At the Wizard World Comic Con this weekend in Louisville, Randy Orton will be making an appearance at the event. The news is a bit interesting as this was the show that CM Punk was originally scheduled to be at before he walked out on WWE. Orton will be taking pictures and signing autographs, but he is not going to be answering questions from fans.
March 26, 2014
During a recent interview at Wizard World Comic Con, Sheamus was asked who he would like to face at Wrestlemania, and he was quick to choose Daniel Bryan, noting that the two of them deserve to have a match that last longer than a minute. The former world heavyweight champion feels that he and Bryan can tear down the house if given time.
March 17, 2014
Amid boos from the Wizard World Comic Con attendees, Sheamus defended John Cena by informing everyone that he is a hard worker who gets along with people backstage. He also admitted that a few former WWE stars have trashed Cena. Sheamus stated that those performers should blame themselves for their failures instead of blaming Cena.
March 15, 2014
Following a slew of other wrestlers making appearances at these events, Mick Foley will be appearing at Comic Con this weekend in Kentucky. The legendary WWE star will be doing a discussion panel, where he talks about the 20 year anniversary of having his ears ripped out by Vader during a match in Europe.
March 14, 2014
While making an appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con show in Sacramento over the weekend, Sheamus was asked by fans about the backstage heat situation involving CM Punk. Sheamus stated that he did not know what happened and that only Punk knows the full story. He also stated that he liked working with Punk and that there is a chance he will return some day.
March 9, 2014
While a lot of fans are keeping their hopes up for a potential return before Wrestlemania 30, it appears that things between WWE and CM Punk have not advanced much. In fact, it has now gotten to the point where the company has removed Punk from his upcoming scheduled appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con in Kentucky.
February 25, 2014
Earlier this month, Jason David Frank gained the interest of professional wrestling fans when he challenged CM Punk, who recently walked out of WWE, to an MMA fight, and there's a very slight chance that he might be able to challenge him in person. The two of them are scheduled to be at Comic Con in Louisville in March.
February 9, 2014
AJ Lee made a special appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans on Friday, and there was a fear that fans were going to ask her about CM Punk, so event coordinators instructed people beforehand to not do questions regarding her boyfriend or his backstage heat situation with WWE.
February 8, 2014
Fans in Oakland will not get to see AJ Lee wrestling tonight at the live event, as WWE sent her to New Orleans today to work the Wizard World Comic Con event instead. No word yet on whether or not management will have her joining the tour in San Diego on Saturday night, but she is expected to be in Los Angeles for Monday Night Raw.
February 7, 2014
CM Punk is scheduled to make another appearance at a Comic Con. The former WWE Champion will be doing the one in Portland next weekend. He will be doing photographs and autographs to start and will finish up with a questions and answers session.
January 19, 2014
John Morrison posted a picture of himself with some Star Wars fans at the Comic Con in Albuquerque.
January 12, 2014
Comic Con is hitting up Sacramento for the very first time, and to help ensure draw in people, the convention has signed Sheamus. The former WWE Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to make an appearance there in March.
January 11, 2014
While he is no longer stuck in a hospital bed, Jake Roberts is said to still be in pretty rough shape. Doctors are still checking up on his lungs and his brain. Roberts revealed that his lungs are clearing up from pneumonia, but doctors want to be absolutely certain. As far as his brain is concerned, the WWE legend said that his physician is still concerned about possible bleeding.
October 7, 2014
Earlier this month, professional wrestling fans were given quite the scare when Jake Roberts passed out on a plane ride and had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. While he has recovered tremendously from that ordeal, the WWE legend has informed fans that there are still some minor issues with his brains that doctors are tending to.
September 26, 2014
In addition to making an appearance at an independent wrestling show produced by Kizarny, Jake Roberts also spent the time to help train some of the wrestlers at the event. The WWE legend even got physically involved in the training, so that's great news for those of us who were quite concerned when he was in the hospital for a week.
September 11, 2014
Good news for Jake Roberts. The WWE legend has recovered well enough that the hospital allowed him to be released on Saturday. Having been laid up in a hospital bed for approximately a week, Roberts was not interested in being still. He attended an independent wrestling event ran by Kizarny, whom he will stay with in Las Vegas for a couple of days before heading back to Atlanta, and greeted the audience.
September 7, 2014
Looks like Jake Roberts is doing a whole lot better now. Kizarny revealed to fans that the WWE legend will be moved out of the intensive care unit very soon. Roberts will remain in the hospital for a couple of days after that, however, so that doctors can keep him under examination. Once he is healthy enough to leave the hospital, Roberts will be staying with Kizarny in Las Vegas to recuperate some more before traveling back to Atlanta.
September 5, 2014
Kizarny provided an update on Jake Roberts, and it should put a smile on a lot of faces. The WWE legend is now able to breathe on his own, as doctors feel comfortable enough now to remove the ventilator that he was relying on. Kizarny also noted that Roberts can now speak again. Roberts is said to have asked for a steak, doughnut and milk shake as a joke.
September 3, 2014
Rumors are floating around that Jake Roberts is in a coma. A large reason for that is because his lawyer mentioned that he was in a "coma like state", and people misconstrued that for the WWE legend being in an actual coma. Kizarny also took to Facebook to further explain the situation. He stated that Roberts is heavily sedated because the procedure to combat pneumonia is pretty painful. Kizarny also reiterated that Roberts was not in a coma.
August 31, 2014
In a sign of just how popular and mainstream Jake Roberts was during the 1980s, several media outlets provided coverage of the WWE legend being sent to the hospital this week. TMZ does a good job of covering wrestling, so they were on the ball with the Roberts story. Huffington Post and USA Today, which does not feature much about the industry, even covered the story.
August 29, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Diamond Dallas Page, where he provides an update on the condition of Jake Roberts.
August 28, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Kizarny, where the former WWE star provides us with an update on Jake Roberts, who passed out on an airplane and has been unconscious at a Las Vegas hospital since then.
August 28, 2014
Some very bad news for Jake Roberts right now. The WWE legend was flying to Las Vegas for an event, but he passed out while on the plane. Roberts was immediately taken to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Reports are saying that he has yet to regain consciousness. Some are saying that Roberts has double pneumonia. His lungs are said to be filled with fluid, and there may be something wrong with his brain as well.
August 28, 2014
Some interesting news was recently revealed by Jake Roberts. The master of the DDT told fans that he initially did not want to be inducted during the same night as the Ultimate Warrior, as the two of them have had a longstanding backstage heat. Roberts also stated that he was going to avoid Warrior at the hall of fame ceremony. However, both sides decided to make up with one another instead.
August 3, 2014
Long known as one of the best minds in professional wrestling, Jake Roberts is now putting some of that knowledge to good use. Rumors coming out of WWE is that he has been in frequent contact with Bray Wyatt, offering advice on how to tweak up and improve his character. Wyatt has been wanting to add more psychology to his act.
June 5, 2014
The Smackdown taping had some familiar faces backstage this week. Ric Flair, Scott Hall and Jake Roberts were all visiting the company yesterday. Hall, who was there with his son Cody Hall, was there to tape some footage for the WWE Network. Flair was rumored to be there to discuss his upcoming role with officials. Roberts stated that he was simply visiting since the show was in Atlanta.
May 28, 2014
A familiar face recently showed up at the Accountability Crib. Chris Jericho stopped by the house that is now famous for hosting Jake Roberts and Scott Hall as the duo cleaned up their lives, thanks in large part to the assistance of Diamond Dallas Page. Jericho was there to do a podcast interview with Roberts and DDP, which will be airing soon.
May 24, 2014
There are a lot of rumors floating around right now about Scott Hall, with many believing that he has fallen off the wagon again after some vague comments from Jake Roberts and Diamond Dallas Page. We do know that Hall was in the hospital this week. While many are speculating that it has something to do with drugs or alcohol, the former Intercontinental Champion is stating that he was only there for a heart checkup.
May 24, 2014
After turning his life around, it appears that Scott Hall might be regressing a bit. News broke out recently that the former WWE star canceled out on an event in California. Hall cited medical issues as a reason. However, both Jake Roberts and Diamond Dallas Page have made statements recently that make it seem like there is more to the Hall situation than we currently know right now.
May 17, 2014
Through Twitter, Jake Roberts recently revealed that he and the Ultimate Warrior made up when both of the legendary performers were inducted into the WWE hall of fame during Wrestlemania 30 week. Roberts did not mention much about the backstage heat between the two, but the master of the DDT did state that he was glad that a reconciliation happened before it was too late.
April 25, 2014
During a recent interview, Diamond Dallas Page revealed that Jake Roberts no longer lives with him. Prior to moving out and getting his own place, the WWE legend was living for free with DDP, who was helping Roberts get his life back on track after years of addiction and abuse. Page had done the same thing for Scott Hall, who has been living on his own for the last year now.
April 23, 2014
After defeating drug and alcohol addiction, it looks like Jake Roberts has conquered another gigantic foe. The WWE hall of fame inductee has announced through Twitter that he is now cancer free. Roberts also stated that doctors are going to do another surgical procedure to make sure, but he is fairly certain that he has defeated the potentially deadly disease.
April 21, 2014
Prior to becoming a professional wrestler for New Japan and future IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Hiroshi Tanahashi had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. That was his primary sport in high school.
August 11, 2014
During the early 1990s, Billy Kidman was trained to become a professional wrestler by former WWE star Afa Anoa'i.
July 21, 2014
Yujiro Kushida, who regularly teams up with former TNA star Alex Shelley in New Japan, was mentored by former WWE star Tajiri early on in his career.
July 21, 2014
Prior to becoming known worldwide as a legend in professional wrestling, Bruiser Brody was actually a pretty good football player. He was an all state high school player in Michigan. His talents were so good that he caught the attention of a university in Texas. He parlayed his success in college to an NFL career, doing a brief stint with the Washington Redskins.
May 1, 2014
While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage. Shortly before he decided to leave WWE, Blanchard ended up failing a drug test because of cocaine, so management had no choice but to fire him. Bobby Heenan had to replace him in the match at Survivor Series 1989.
May 1, 2014
While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history. The Puerto Rican star was the first guy to have won the WWE title, world tag team championship and the Intercontinental Championship. Morales even held the WWE and tag team championship, which he won with Bob Backlund, at the same time.
April 29, 2014
For a young professional wrestler, being able to work with a big time star could be what helps to spring board your career into the next level. A memorable feud with the legendary Harley Race was how Hercules Hernandez managed to make a name for himself during the territorial days. It was shortly after that feud that he found himself being signed by the NWA.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Scott Norton was a star in the arm wrestling world. The former WCW star won at least thirty championships, including four national titles. He also traveled overseas for competition, including a life changing one in Japan. Norton also had enough recognition to be cast in Over the Top, a Sylvester Stallone movie about arm wrestling.
April 28, 2014
While he will forever associated with the famous wrestling last name, Ole Anderson is actually not an Anderson at all. His real name is Alan Rogowski. He simply adopted the Ole Anderson name to connect with the audience who were already familiar with Gene Anderson, his story line brother. Another interesting point of interest is that Ole Anderson is a play on the word oleander, a poisonous plant.
April 28, 2014
Back in 2000, the world of professional wrestling was saddened by the death of Masakazu Fukuda. While working a tournament match, Fukuda was hit by a flying elbow drop from Katsuyori Shibata. The blow proved to be fatal, as Fukuda had to be taken to the hospital, where he died a couple of days later. New Japan finished the tournament and dedicated the event in his honor.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in WCW, Sid Vicious managed to pull off a pretty amazing feat while working for New Japan. Even though he was an unknown, Vicious was able to convince the promoters in Japan to give him a shot at the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He lost, of course, but was able to gain some recognition in the late 1980s by being in the match.
April 27, 2014
For as long as she has been on television, Stephanie McMahon has been a topic of interest for professional wrestling fans. Many WWE fans are quite enamored with her, so it comes as no surprise that her bra size is routinely discussed. During an interview once, Stephanie revealed that she received breast implants and now has a bra size of D cup.
April 24, 2014
Since she has been around WWE for a very long time, wrestling fans have been wondering how old Stephanie McMahon is. She was born on September 24, 1976, which makes her 37 right now. Due to her age and the fact that the kids are getting a little older, Stephanie recently decided to scale back on her responsibilities within WWE. She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star. In actuality, though, Storm has a pretty good personality and a sense of humor backstage. WWE went with the gimmick in order to try to something to see if it would give him momentum.
April 13, 2014
Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family. The local police did not want to arrest him, so they heavily suggested that he leave town to avoid any further complications. The future WWE star opted to flee to the state of Florida, where he made money by picking fruit.
April 11, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role. However, Ventura had blood clots in his lungs, which was due to his stint in the Vietnam War, and was forced to retire as an in ring performer. WWE moved Heenan on to other wrestlers.
April 10, 2014
In one of the more interesting connections in professional wrestling, when Wahoo McDaniel was a teenager in Texas, he was coached in baseball by George Bush, who would go on to become the 41st President of the United States.
April 9, 2014
Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory.
April 4, 2014
Back during the 1980s, one of the most talked about segment in professional wrestling was when Uncle Elmer got married on national television. It was an actual wedding, as the performer was really wanting to marry his longtime girlfriend. When he approached Vince McMahon about it, the promoter loved the idea and decided to make it a draw for WWE.
April 4, 2014
One of the biggest mysteries in professional wrestling involves Dennis Condrey and his decision to walk away from the Midnight Express. When asked about the situation, Bobby Eaton said that his former tag team partner basically left without saying a word to him for two years. Condrey reportedly did not inform Jim Cornette or the NWA, either.

LGW - Paphos, 4th June. Check in and fast track security was very easy and we were airside within 5 minutes. As we
were flying at 2.45 we decided to have some lunch in the lounge. The lounge was busy but there was still plenty of
space to relax. The food options were poor to say the least with soup, sandwiches or ham salad being the only
items on offer. My wife who is a vegetarian was not impressed as she had to make do with an egg mayonnaise
sandwich. Having been told when we checked in that the flight was 'bang on time' the screen informed us at 2.05
that we should proceed to gate 101. After a 10 minute stroll, we arrived at the gate to be told there was a delay
to the flight. Why on earth this information could not have been passed through to the lounge is a mystery. No pre
flight drinks were offered and we eventually took off about an hour late. Pre lunch drinks were served after 40
minutes and then lunch about 30 minutes after that. The crew were very nice but rather stressed and mentioned that
the plane (737-400) should not have been used on this route. My wife had pre ordered a veggie meal that was not
loaded on the plane, but the very nice but stressed FA said she could have hers. It was a nice gesture but my wife
felt slightly guilty about taking it, although she did and enjoyed her meal. I was told that there was only one
option left for me and I could have Kedgeree or Kedgeree, so that's what I had. It was OK but not particularly
hot. Arrived at Paphos about 45 minutes late with our priority luggage being in the last 6 cases to arrive on the
carousel. Overall the flight was just OK although if it had not been for the excellent cabin crew it would have
been disappointing. My wife did receive an email from BA within 2 days of our arrival, saying they had let her
down with the non arrival of her pre ordered food on this flight and apologised, which is fare enough.
Rating : 1/10
Business class from Shanghai to London. It was the worst business class. Staff give the impression that they are
above service and I did not feel that they were courteous or polite. On one occasion I asked for a glass of
champagne and never got one, on another occasion, when I dropped my fork for the meal and buzzed for another one,
no one came, when I tried to grab the attention of the staff member walking past, he said sorry sir I'll be right
with you and never came. Eventually I just went to the back and grabbed one. I would never fly BA again, for the
money you pay you can get much better business class and value from other airlines.

Premium Economy
LHR-EWR rtn, econ/premium. Very good experience as usual with BA. Having gone through the highly pleasurable T5 it
was all aboard a 2 week old Dreamliner for the 7 hour outbound flight. Seats pretty comfortable for economy and
new entertainment system very good indeed. Return in premium economy wasn't bad at all, comfortable enough to
sleep the duration of the return flight. Cabin crew professional and attentive in both directions. Will be using
the service again next month.
Rating : 10/10
BA11, LHR-SIN, 11 June. This flight, and the reciprocal one from Singapore to London in economy a month ago, have
restored my faith in BA. The aircraft was clean and in good condition; seats were comfortable, staff were
unfailingly attentive, friendly polite and efficient. Meals were of a good standard, toilets were clean and
properly maintained throughout the flight. Boarding and disembarking were seamless from BA's side. One of the best
flights I have had for years on many different carriers.
LHR to DXB, 11 Jun 14, Club World, Upper Deck, 64A - Great flight slight delay of ten mins but excellent crew on
the upper deck. Food choice is excellent and service as always of a very high standard. Not too sure about the new
wash bags, large draw string bag with minimal contents, the wash bags get bigger but the contents get smaller!
Nothing really useful in the wash bag not even eye masks or ear plugs. Useful contents would be mouth wash, wet
wipes etc it is about time BA looked at returning to Molton Brown which was a lot superior than the Elimis range.
Otherwise a great flight, met by special services on arrival in DXB who whisked me through Immigration and Customs
within 20 mins of landing which exceeded all expectations.

Flew from Edinburgh to New York via LHR on 5th and 10 June. All flights were very full but the service from check
in to on board were very good. My only complaint was the breakfast on the return flight a croissant, jam and tea
or coffee which was very disappointing.
Outbound BA 175, 12/5/14. Return BA 286, 1/6/14. Recently travelled economy on long haul to NYC and returned from
San Francisco, having previously done long haul with Virgin. BA knocks Virgin into a cocked hat. Love BA. Keep
flying the flag!
BA 213, LHR to Boston. T5 was very busy, but check in was fast and efficient. The flight was on a 747, the
aircraft was clean but looking dated. We were seated to the rear of the aircraft. The food choice was OK but both
meals had curried options, fine if you like curry, but limiting if you don't. Lucky for us there was still a
choice. My TV was broken so I had a long 6.5 hours. The flight crew were very helpful and happy.
Rating : 7/10
Flew World Traveller Plus for the first time. Our trip was to and from LHR from Toronto YYZ. When flying a
distance World Traveller Plus is well worth the little extra. Being a big guy - tall - I really appreciated the
larger seats and the extra leg room. And the on-board staff were super. Will never fly regular economy again if
at all possible. Unfortunately we got caught in the baggage screw-up at Heathrow on Friday June 6th. We made it
back to Toronto OK but our luggage was just delivered to our house today, Wednesday June 11th. I guess that one
must remain philosophical when these things happen. I'm just glad that it was at the end of our vacation and not
the start. All-in-all I will definitely fly British Airways again.
Glasgow to LHR on a completely full flight. The crew were amazing despite being provoked by an extremely rude lady
who was sitting at the emergency exit seat, they remained calm and professional despite her rude and obnoxious
comments. Departed on time and landed early which is always nice.
LHR-CPH-LHR both A320s. Other than bussed to stand on the outward all was very good. The bus is unexpected at a
'new' terminal but the warmth of the welcome from the crew cheered you up a lot! Simple and tasty flatbread and
drink ideal for the 1.45 journey. The return was a tad delayed due local ATC but even though only 10 mins or so
the flight deck kept us very well informed and the crew came round with juice or water. Delay was made up enroute
and bag appeared as I reached the carousel. Advance booking and using a few points (some I earned back on this
flight) made the fare cheaper than low cost carriers. With BA renewing it's fleet the a/c seemed almost new and
all very enjoyable.
Rome Fiumicino - LHR, Jun 1st, Economy, Airbus 321. Great staff, food offering poor, I would have been happy to
pay for a better option.
OSL-LHR, June 8th. Two days after arriving I departed still less my check-in bag from June 6th. Flight delayed,
this is more often than not on most BA flights I have been on. Food offered in economy same Chicken Tikka sandwich
or bean salad as seen on last 3 flights in a week on different routes. I would rather have the option to buy
something I might want to eat. Cabin crew Brilliant, nearly always are, but its not just about the crew service,
but it's the only reason they have any customers.
LGW-MLA, 25th April 2014, Business Class. Where did they get this plane from? Possibly about 1986, fixture and
fittings beyond ancient, my seat was wobbly, and not the most comfortable business class seat as space seemed very
small. Food good staff fine. Had I paid anymore than the bargain fare I got it would have been a big no no.
Rating : 5/10
MLA-LGW, April 28th. Business Class. Old cheap (BMI plane) economy seats nearly paper thin, no difference from
economy seat. They don't sell the middle seat so it's two passengers per row. BA that is not our concern, it is
not about having an empty seat beside it is about comfort for the one I have paid for. Business lounge in Malta
has a poor selection, even less that than LGW business lounge and that's saying something. Yes I got a deal on the
fare but I have in no way been encouraged to continue and consistently book business class seats. I don't trust
BA to provide me with a premium product consistently so therefore won't risk higher business class fares. I even
booked long haul in economy with them as I have not been convinced to pay the upgrade. Food ok, staff ok.
LHR - Rome Fiumicino, Jun 1st. Great cabin crew, silly priced (cheap ticket) can't complain. It was an A321 which
tend to be the better aircraft with BA (from my experience) in Europe.
LIS-LHR, May 10th, Business Class, Airbus 321. Best cabin crew service ever on this flight. Lady in charge of the
Business Cabin was superb. Food great. Proper Business seats, good space comfort and functioning - if I could be
assured of this each time I fly with BA in Europe then I would choose it more frequently and be willing to pay
more than the cheapest Business fares knowing this was what awaits. Frustrating part of this trip BA knowing well
in advance there were delays but not informing people until it was long as past obvious.
SIN-LHR-JFK in Business on B747 for both legs. Significant improvement over the LHR-SIN leg of the trip. Food out
of SIN considerably better than LHR, both planes and cabins more updated and in better repair. Service attentive
on both legs. Singapore ground staff to be commended for their efforts to assist in lost bag on the previous LHR-
SIN leg of the trip due to massive problems at Heathrow on June 9. Got the impression that BA actually cared and
tried to help resolve as best they could. IFE still lags behind the other carriers such as CX, QF with relatively
limited options, but on balance an improved experience.
LHR-LIS, 10 May, Business Class. Lounge at T3 spacious - food selection limited and 'dated'. Disappointing as I am
finding myself leaving the business lounge in search of a better food offering which is defeating the purpose.
Flight - irritating its the old economy seats nothing more, as I have written before this is basically being sold
as something it may not be and does not allow me to trust BA to choose this option every time or to risk paying
more than the bottom business class fare when I choose to fly in this cabin. Staff great food on board bus cabin
The outward trip Manchester - Heathrow - Milan was fine, with even a guide to take us to our connection at LHR
Terminal 5. The return trip Munich - Heathrow - Manchester was not so good. The system would not let me check-in
online, and despite being the first in the queue at airport check-in we had already been allocated seats right at
the back (we discovered on boarding - no plan or explanation given on check-in) with no recline. Both planes were
late, and at Heathrow especially the communication was poor: at one point the board said 'Please wait', then there
was a 'last call' even though the gate had not yet opened; the staff seemed unconcerned at the delay, no
explanation or apology were offered unless they were in the inaudible announcement, but I doubt it as it was quite
short. Having arrived at Munich to check in at 1.30pm we eventually got to Manchester at 9pm, not too late as the
pilot made up some of the lost time (all excellent pilots, by the way). But during this time the only refreshments
were a small packet of crisps and a drink, twice. Not impressive, although the staff on board were friendly and
LHR to DXB Return. Outbound flight delayed 2 hours, just as well as it took over an hour to clear security. Remote
lounge quiet, nice food and wine. Jumbo on way out, new interior, new and very good entertainment, excellent
attentive crew, food as usual poor - (recommend you always eat at the airport which given cost of flight one
really shouldn't have to). Inbound flight on a 777. Same on way back as on way in except also on time, but must
commend 2 crew members for their endless patience with one clown of a passenger.
LHR-LAX-LHR. This route is the new A380 which I was very much looking forward to travelling on, it certainly did
not disappoint. I paid £20 extra to reserve seats in the upper deck at the very back, this area is only 4 rows
separated by galley and toilets and really does feel like its own private cabin. Plus the seating on the upper
deck in a 2-4-2 layout means sitting by the window not only feels more spacious as you only have 1 person next to
you but due to the shape of the A380 you get huge amounts of shoulder room and access to little storage lockers
below the window. Flew Virgin UC on my last trip to LA in a tired and dated aircraft and BA economy was welcome.
Can not recommend BA enough.
We just flew round trip on the new A380 from LAX to LHR (and then on to Rome). The A380 business class area was
nice and the food was decent. However, the layout of the seats wasn't great (you have to jump over the person
next to you when they have their seat in a flat position). Also, avoid the aisle seats, as you feel like you're
out in the open and people are constantly bustling by. As well, the seats on the aisle have zero storage space so
you are constantly getting up to get things out of the storage bin above you or losing them under your seat. The
BA lounge in LAX was ok, nothing great (although the food was decent) and their South Lounge in LHR, Terminal 5
was just ok - very busy and crammed with people. Nowhere to relax and enjoy some downtime. The food was the
worst we've ever experienced in a lounge (only things available were horrible little sandwiches, a few cookies and
drinks. Since LHR is the hub for BA we expected way more. However, our biggest issue was with the staff on board
the flights. They were highly erratic in quality. Some were very friendly and helpful, others were beyond rude.
I had read that British Air now has a new system where the same staff does not do the same routes on a consistent
basis. There are apparently a lot of "floaters", who come and go and work different flights by choice. To me
this seems like a big mistake, and most likely causes the huge discrepancy in service. Our flight home was an
hour late (BA seems to be late a lot, based on the many reviews). They also managed to lose all of our luggage.
We travel a lot and will no longer choose British Airways, as it's too much of a "Russian Roulette" as to whether
your service will be good or not.
We travelled Club Europe from Gatwick to Paphos as we were going out to get married. The extra luggage was handy
due to the dress and all the extras that we needed to take but we could have paid for the extra space at much less
a cost. As it was our wedding we decided to treat ourselves and go the full hog so spent nearly £1000 extra on
Club Europe seats expecting to get a really good experience. Check in was quick and easy but there was no queue at
the normal check in either so we didn't really benefit from that. The lounge was nothing particularly impressive
although we didn't get there with much time to spare so that was more our fault. We were let on the plane first
through the front of the plane, the problem was that the rest of the passengers also came through the same door
and through the Club Europe section so to be able to put our bags up into the compartment I had to stand by my
seat until the entire plane had boarded. The seating then was just a row of 3 seats with the middle seat blocked
off so although there was "extra room" it wasn't what I'd have expected. Our bags were marked as priority with the
tags but came out with the rest of the luggage. I don't know if we went in expecting more than we should have but
for the extra money we paid I think we were entitled to have higher expectations. Not an ideal way to start our
wedding experience. We'd never travel Club Europe again, it was a complete waste of money so hopefully others will
read this and save the money to spend on the rest of the holiday!
LHR-ATH-LHR outbound 6th June. Check in and lounge good as normal at T5' boarding done by bus which I always find
odd at the home hub, seat 3a on an A320 I like BA's club Europe and this flight was no different. Nice happy crew
and the food, English breakfast was pretty good, flight arrived on time bags off quickly. Return 9th June check in
at ATH airport quick and polite, used the lounge which is ok but pretty full with 2 flights leaving about an hour
apart. Boarding quick seat 2A and another A320 appeared a bit older but comfortable enough for a 3hr30min flight,
crew again friendly, meal service was lunch which was ok, arrival T5 on time and on a gate this time. I read some
reviews on here I've travelled a lot with many airlines in economy premium economy business and first, have to say
my experience with BA has been mostly very positive. Everyone can have an off day.
Rating : 2/10
London (LHR) to Houston (IAH) to London (LHR). T5 in Heathrow is crazy, We been up and down the lifts and get
train to other gates. We got boarding first then people comes in the plane. When the plane was ready to take off,
then 1 hour later food ready to give out to other people then nothing until 1 hour before we land. The seat was
uncomfortable, old and tired. The Cabin Crew were so miserable.
Travelling from Venice to London Gatwick with British Airways on what should have been a painless short flight
(2hrs). How wrong I was. Held in boarding queue for about 20 minutes with no explanation. Then got onto flight to
find no crew to help passengers in economy with on-boarding, stowing luggage etc. I was sat in very last row and
became apparent that the crew were sat at the back, having a laugh. A large number of the passengers on this
flight were elderly requiring help putting their hand baggage in the overhead lockers. Did the crew bother to look
or help? No. They were sat up the back in the galley having a right old laugh. Only when we started taxi-ing,
could they be bothered to finish their chat and do a lacklustre safety demonstration. Which I couldn't see as the
crew member demonstrating was right at the front of the plane. I couldn't hear the pilot announcement as the audio
was faulty. No idea what he said or what flight conditions were. For a nervous passenger this is not great. Took
off and then the crew started for service. The food I couldn't eat as allergic to one of the ingredients and told
there was no other option. Fair enough. Was offered a drink about 20 mins before landing. Just as well I had my
own water I guess. Finally crew member opened locker above my head on approach and her shoe fell out on my head.
Wasn't painful per say, but didn't get apology from crew member at all. She looked at me like it was my fault! I
fly BA quite a bit and usually never much of an issue. I found the service on this flight incredible really. I'm
still pinching myself to think it was actually BA. I left the flight feeling angry and slightly depressed if this
is now the standard product from BA. The plane was old, no map, torn seats, broken arm rests, and rubbish in-
flight service. I really will now try to find other airlines for both UK and International flights from now on
where-ever possible.
LHR-VIE, on an A319. Online check-in didn't start working until about 15 hours before the flight. Selected 13F
on a very full flight. Selected "collect at the airport" option. Suddenly, 8E, a middle seat. No aircraft swap,
no explanation, no apology. Boarding pass failed to work at security, an error somewhere in the system told
security that pass had already been used allegedly before I even got to the airport. Boarding not great, with a
packed bus getting a tour of T3. Flight 15 mins late due to congestion at LHR. Service efficient but not overly
friendly. Much prefer Austrian on this route, and will return to them for my next trip. A shame as BA should be
a world beater - I'd not flown with them for about a year, and it bought back memories as to why I choose others.
We flew LAX to LHR on the new A380-800 in Club World. Flight was on time. The flight attendants were pleasant.
Food was excellent. There was a huge choice of movies to watch. The lie-flat seats were very comfortable. I am
definitely going to fly British Airways again.
LGW to AMS. Easy check-in at Gatwick with the pods to check in and print boarding pass. Did that the night
before as staying at an airport hotel. Easy and quick to drop off bag. Departure lounge easy to find. Controlled
boarding. Pleasant staff and light snack on short flight. Well recommended and far better to use than T5 at LHR
if you have the choice. Luggage took a long time to arrive at AMS but that is Schipol's issue rather than BA.
LHR-SIN in Business on B-747. Hard to find much good to say about this experience. Everything about the trip was
chaotic and disappointing. Heathrow T5 a complete overcrowded mess. Flight delayed by 90 minutes as they couldn't
get the jet bridge away form the plane and it took far too long than it should've to resolve. And to make it all
worse, BA had a global baggage IT systems failure, which resulted in my bag not making it to Singapore (despite
checking in several hours before the flight). The flight itself was average at best. Upstairs cabin comfortable
enough, although the plane was old and tired, IFE limited, food appalling. The only positive thing I can say was
the crew smiled a few times through the awful flight which at least suggested they were trying. Can't imagine how
BA can compete with SQ on this route given the absolutely dreadful nature of what was once a much better airline
than it is today. They have no idea where my bag is or when I will get it and you can't contact BA in Singapore on
the weekend as they are closed. One just gets the impression they couldn't care less. Would not recommend.
I really do not have the energy to write very detail of how bad my very recent flight too (and from) Vegas was
with BA however I can categorically state I will never fly with them again and am bewildered as to how they
survive a superior option as an airline. Highlights of my journey include: Severe overheating on flight complaints
ignored until someone fainted. Delayed on runway for 90 minutes for what was described as catering reasons.
Running out of food and beverage 1 hr into a 11 hour flight. (No beer 1 hr in to flight - after the 90 minute
delay). Uninterested and incompetent staff. Lost luggage. (1 case has so far turned up). Space reduced to less
than a foot (Head to back of seat) once person in front inevitably reclines. I could honestly go on and on about
how bad an experience this flight was and am being completely honest when I say that I am an easy customer to
please. If you have Virgin as an option even its a bit more expensive please take my word for it and go with them,
they are a class apart. BA operate as a (poor) budget airline posing as something else. Very poor journey,
shocking experience.
LHR to BOS. Day after baggage shut down but First check in easy and security quiet. Super breakfast in Concorde
Room. Flight then delayed for 2 hours whilst all on board but crew were great. Food and wine superb and service
was BA at it's very best.
Rating : 4/10
Flew in Club World for the first time on the new BA A380s. Big disappointment. The two upper deck cabins feel
congested with more seats than the upper deck of a 747 yet noticeably fewer staff per passenger and too few
toilets. The dinner service on the LHR-JNB flight was chronically slow (about three hours from beginning to end).
The staff have been instructed to deliver drinks by hand from the galleys (rather than from a trolley) and to
plate all the meals. All this takes too long with this level of staffing and the passenger experience suffers.
The cabin crew were also curiously bad tempered, perhaps due to the frustration of trying to deliver an over
complicated meal service to increasingly disgruntled passengers. A pity, as the planes are quieter than previous
generation aircraft and the flight was very smooth.
LHR-ARN. All the procedures at Heathrow terminal 5 were a breeze. There was some kind of baggage delivery failure
at check-in but the staff managed it very well, smiling and being professional. The flight went on an old, dirty
and worn out A319, though seats were comfortable. The service was of typical intra European flight: light cold
snacks and drinks, flight attendants were professional. Overall, I would use BA in the future but I would prefer
flying a newer plane next time.
Recently flew from LHR to Munich and then from Budapest to LHR. The flights were ok and seats etc as standard in
economy but were not overly impressed with the staff and thought food was awful (albeit a roll). We didn't have
breakfast as thought we would be having snack on plane on outward journey but it was inedible and on return we
didn't have lunch as again thought we would have snack on plane but again thought it was inedible - chicken tikka
with spinach roll which I am sure some people may like but why cannot they serve any plain food like cheese or ham
or beef, especially as they are a British airline. We used to always fly BA but stopped using them and had just
started to try them again but doubt whether we will continue.
LHR-ATH-ATH, June 2014. Both flights 1.5 hours late which always seems to be the case largely due to the old plane
(767) used on this particular flight. Food average, cabin crew variable-average overall. No apologies for lateness
of flights which unacceptable-BA still seem to think that they are doing you a favour for letting you fly with
them. Poor overall and am even considering using Easyjet as Gatwick closer to my home.
Sao Paulo - London Heathrow Club World. Sat in the upper deck on the 747. Fantastic experience. Very comfortable
flight with attentive helpful cabin crew. Reasonable food, good selection of drinks and good IFE.
LHR to BKK in club world, over night flight. Lounge at T5 great. Nice choice of hot foods, wines and snacks. Love
the spa treatments. I really like the club world seats, very private for sleeping. Food tasty, had mushroom pasta.
Good choice of films. Most of crew in club did a great job, still get the odd one here and there that are surly
and disinterested - make you feel as if they are doing you a favour! I always try and fly BA, on the whole a great
Travelled from Barbados to London, Gatwick and then onwards to Italy using British Airways in both instances.
Returned to Gatwick on May 28 and again travelled by BA to Barbados. My experience in all instances was extremely
positive. The flight crew on all flights accommodated my every request. The food was served at the right
temperature, at appropriate intervals and was tasty. I would definitely use this airline again.

Thiago is a very tenacious fighter with good Muay Thai, and Karo has O.K. standup but is an expert at closing the range to get takedowns or throws. Karo needs to make the most of this fight after his previous lackluster preformances. Hopefully there styles combined will make for an exciting fight. Either way, if it gets finalized it will be an interesting matchup.
UFC 84: Karo Parisyan vs. Thiago Alves
MMAJunkie is reporting, the fight between Karo Parisyan and Thiago Alves is close to being finalized.
Sources close to both fighters today told MMAjunkie.com that the fight has been discussed and that bout agreements are expected to be signed. The welterweight bout would complement UFC 84's main event between UFC welterweight champ Matt Serra and interim champ Georges St. Pierre.

And then we get to see GSP and Matt Serra duke it out afterwards and Shogun Rua against whoever?! I like Thiago too! He is a fiesty one! UFC 84 baby.
this is gonna be a good fight, very excited for this….and how good of a card is this looking so far?
I would love to see Karo get that title shot.
I'm glad Karo is not fighting a tune up fight and waiting for a title shot. Alves is a very explosive fighter and if Karo wins this he deserves the title shot.
your right kash he is not fighting a can here and if he wins than he will probally get his shot at the title.should be a good fight.
karo has got to work on his stand up tho. he is crazy good on the ground and can still hold his won striking but i would love to see him be equally good at btoh, that would make him number two to BJ Penn in my mind
i really hope karo wins and gets the #1 contender spot…..but even tho karo is my favorite fighter, i honestly dont know if he could beat gsp
no one can beat gsp, he's probably the second best pound for pound fighter behind Anderson silva
dude, gsp will move up in weight class after beating matt serra. he will move up to fight anderson silva.
no way that happens…silva has such in advantage in size and reach along with most middleweights…i think gsp should stay at welterweight after he becomes champion due to the immense talent in that division…he will always have a formidable opponent to fight as opposed to being at a disatvantage being a small middleweight with not as much talent in that division
I think one day GSP will challenge Anderson Silva. That is if both of them retain their titles for a while. Both are great fighters. Me and Brandon are right on about the P4P rankings. I have Anderson on top right now because he hasn't even broke a sweat since being in the UFC.
Good point Realwun…anderson has really never been challenged which is a problem…maybe instead of GSP challengin him and meeting at middleweight, anderson should drop down and be a big welterweight…the fighters are just simly better in that division and could give anderson a real fight…but as much as it would be an unfair fight i would still love to see GSP vs. Silva
in all honesty, the welterweight division is limited in its stars. the people i can think of are — diego sanchez (now that he won't be distracted by the sex with ali), jon fitch, and matt serra (have to name him bc he is current champ). koschek is just mediocre at best. and i can't even breathe karo's name anymore bc he is still really mediocre. nate diaz has been inactive for awhile. and that's it. who else is there at welterweight? and don't say i forgot matt hughes. he lost to GSP pretty badly, and as long as GSP is champion, hughes will never get that title back.
koshceck is way above mediocre he has great stand up and an even better ground game as he proved vs. diego. Karo is still as good as hes always been and guareenteed he'll prove that to u in his upcoming fight, BJ Penn when he chooses to be in the WW division is top 2 b ehind GSP, Thiago Alves is still a strong contender, chris lytle, jared rollins…the list keeps going
sounds like b.j. wants another shot at gsp according to a recent interview,i don't know how soon that would happen he got to get past joe and than probally fight sherk before that could happen.
I dont know if it could ever happen, if BJ beats stevenson he's the champ…Dana wouldn't allow a title holder to move up in weight while being champion…especially to fight another champion or soon to be champion. It would cause to much confusion in the divisions…but still would love to see that fight!!
i dont think we will see anderson vs gsp anytime soon… gsp has to prove he can even defend the title if he even beats matt sera… cuz right now his track record with serra aint that good lol. he would have to beat serra, fitch, and karo before even thinking bout goin after silva. By that time i think dan henderson will be champion and anderson will be on the come back trail to getting the middle weight title. if the do however both remain champions for a long time it would be awesome to see them fight somewhere in the middle like at the catchweight of 178. the ufc has done catch weight matches before i.e. royce gracie vs matt hughes.
on a side note if deigo doesnt go to 155 i think he is dumb
i also think it would be funny as fuck if alves beat karo

Karnataka to hand over Soujanya case to CBI
By Express News Service - DAVANGERE
Published: 07th November 2013 12:28 PM
Last Updated: 07th November 2013 12:32 PM
The state government will ask the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate the rape and murder of Soujanya, Home Minister K J George said here on Wednesday.
He told reporters that many NGOs, besides Soujanya's parents, had found the findings of a CID inquiry unsatisfactory. A pre-university student of SDM College, Ujire, 17-year-old Soujanya was raped and murdered on October 9, 2012.
Protesters allege the CID implicated Santosh Rao and left out the names of influential people who were involved in the crime.
Veerendra Heggade, who runs the Dharmasthala religious organisation, has also sought a CBI inquiry to clear his family's name. Protesters allege his nephew and three others were among those who raped and killed Soujanya, but the CID report cleared them.
Belthangady MLA Vasanth Bangera and Heggade had written to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seeking a Central agency probe.

Seabrook man pleads guilty to offering bribe
CONCORD - A Seabrook man faces up to 15 years in federal prison for bribing an IRS agent who was conducting an audit on his nail salon business in Newington.
Hoang O. Hoang, 45, pleaded guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court to one count of bribery of a public official. A news release issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of New Hampshire, does not identify the IRS agent. A call to the U.S. Attorney's Office for comment was not immediately returned.
Hoang's business was audited on Dec. 9, 2011, by the IRS agent. According to the news release, Hoang offered to pay the agent $4,000 in the course of several conversations if the agent would reduce his business' tax liability.
On Jan. 12, 2012, Hoang paid the unnamed IRS agent a $2,295 bribe so the outcome of the audit would be a reduction in taxes.
Hoang is to be sentenced July 10.
The case was investigated by the office of the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and prosecuted by assistant U.S. Attorney Arnold H. Huftalen.

Colony must provide owner access
Date: January 8, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
A federal bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday, Jan. 8 that The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort must give its unit owners access to their units if it's open for business again as a hotel.
The resort's hotel operating entity filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Oct. 5 in the Tampa-based U.S. Bankruptcy Court's Middle District of Florida.
Colony Chairman and owner Dr. Murray "Murf" Klauber and Colony President and General Manager Katie Moulton are working to submit a bankruptcy reorganization plan to Judge K. Rodney May by the end of the month.
Klauber and Moulton reopened approximately 100 rooms at the hotel Dec. 18 and are working to find investors for the resort while going through the bankruptcy process.
Also at the hearing, the judge ruled that Moulton could receive half of her former salary while going through reorganization. The judge also ruled that the general partner must provide access to its financial accounting and make it available to its association.

- Reconfigure your Network - If you are currently on a flat network, you will want to consider creating VLANs (static and DHCP). I would advise a VLAN for each of the following. This will give you far more control over your network and allow you to set per VLAN (subnet) web filtering as well.
- Network Switches, Routers, Proxies
- Servers
- Admin Staff
- IT Staff
- Per WiFI SSID (if you have 5 SSIDs, use 5 VLANs)
- Per computer lab (or per building or zone)
- VOiP zones (one will suffice for a small number of devices)
- Printers
- Security (if you use IP security system)
- Build a new domain - Rather than a Domain Rename, build two new virtual DCs with the new domain name. You may want to use a sub-domain of your FQDN rather than the FQDN itself depending on your expertise with DNS and DNS forwarding, etc. Don't try to migrate user accounts, etc. Build these DCs new and create the structure in a way that works for you (example showing our structure attached). Now re-create the GPOs that you require, which is a good opportunity to ensure you have no unneeded policies and re-think the policies that you need now (since you have few PCs now, you will likely need far fewer GPOs). Once the structure is complete, re-create all of your User groups that will be needed in the new domain and create the user accounts for IT and Admin and a test account for different staff and student types to use for testing. Now make sure that your DHCP (consider your VLANs) and DNS are configured as required and that you create your DNS forwarding rules and bring across any DNS entries from your old DNS server that will be required. Bind a client to your new domain to test it.
Domain structure.png
- Build new File and Print Server(s) - Now that you have a working domain and some test users, you should build a new File and Print server. You can split these roles up if you want, but it isn't required (it can be handy if the print service ever stops and you need to restart the server because it refuses to restart - been there, done that). Again, don't migrate any data across at this point in time. Bind the new server(s) to your new domain and setup all of your printers on the new server and install whatever print management software you use (Papercut works well). Also, create some test shares (and configure DFS if you are using more than one file server). Now create a GPO with one or more shares and printer assignments and assign it to a user group then test this with a client computer bound to the domain and login with one of your test users in the group assigned the shares and printers. All working - then create the directory structure and top level folders for the network shares you will be migrating across later, including the user group permissions.
- Migrate Exchange Server - We use Google Apps, but I wouldn't say its more compatible with iOS. We've experienced many issues in the past particularly when Google decided to ditch ActiveSync. Getting passwords to sync was also a major pain and their GAPS solution doesn't work reliably in our experience. You might want to consider Office 365 if you are already on a license agreement with MS for Office, CALs, SQL Server, etc. You will probably find a migration from Exchange to Office 365 a bit easier or more supported than to Google Apps, including getting SSO working. You would also have the option of using the new Office apps for the iPad. Just a thought.
- Migrate Users and Data - Finally, the next to last step in the domain rename will be to migrate all users from your existing AD to your new DCs as well as all of the data on the file server(s). I recommend exporting your existing users into CSV format, editing the domain and other details needed, then importing them manually into the new DC. These tools will help:
Script Active Directory User Creation tool 1.2
Script Update AD Users in Bulk from Excel Spreadsheet
Bulk AD Users
I would advise using robocopy or similar to migrate your user data. You will not want to bring across ACLs and permissions, but have the files inherit the ACLs and permissions from the new shares you have created.
- Update all systems with new domain - At this point, your DCs, email, and file/print servers have been created and migrated, but you will likely still have many other systems that need to be updated to use the new domain. For server, you will need to unbind them from the old domain and bind them to the new. Systems such as the Lightspeed will have to be updated, etc. You should identify all systems that need to be updated in this manner before you ever begin this whole project, then think about it well because you probably forgot something (e.g. updating DNS servers on your internal systems, and your external DNS hosting). Make sure that Kerberos and DNS are working as expected on your Mac server following the domain change.
It goes without saying that you should back up everything well before beginning all of this and it is advisable to do it during the holidays with much advanced notice to users as you will need some forced downtime so no one can update any files you are trying to migrate. It's a big project, but once it is done your team will know the network inside and out and you will be able to make it dance and sing.
As for the Mac side of things, I haven't found a need for an OD replica. Just clone the main server periodically and you can then restore it quickly if you have a failure. In fact, if you go with Casper Suite, you won't need an OD master at all anymore.

Joyce Destefano knew there was something wrong with her 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt two years ago.
She says nobody listened.
The 59-year-old Fort Wayne businesswoman said she filed complaints with General Motors Co. and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about her vehicle's ignition switch.
Destefano said GM failed to contact her, and the safety agency basically said take a number.
"I feel so abused, so betrayed, so … I don't know what other words to use," said Destefano, who owns a residential and commercial cleaning company. "I trusted them, and they had nothing to say to me."
They will have to do some talking now. A person briefed on the matter says the Justice Department is investigating whether General Motors broke any laws with its slow response to a deadly problem with ignition switches on certain cars.
The probe is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the investigation is not public.
A Justice Department spokesman did not immediately return calls. GM would not comment. The automaker produces Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups at its Allen County truck plant.
Last month, GM announced the recall of 1.6 million older compact cars worldwide to replace ignition switches that can shut off the motor unexpectedly. GM says the problem is linked to 13 deaths.
A House committee has launched an investigation into how the automaker and federal regulators handled the recall of vehicles.
As part of the probe, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a hearing in the coming weeks to determine whether there was a delay in GM's recall of 1.6 million vehicles with the faulty part, said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., the panel's chairman.
The committee also will look into the response of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the face of consumer complaints.
Destefano said no one should be above suspicion.
"The (NHTSA) wants to go after GM, but if you ask me, the government needs to be looked into as well," she said, referring to the safety agency's investigation into the automaker. "I knew, I knew, I knew this was a manufacturing defect and not just a bad part on my car."
Agency documents show that GM knew of the ignition-switch defect as far back as 2004 but didn't issue the recall until last month.
"Did the company or regulators miss something that could have flagged these problems sooner?" Upton said.
"If the answer is yes, we must learn how and why this happened, and then determine whether this system of reporting and analyzing complaints that Congress created to save lives is being implemented and working as the law intended," he said.
Upton sponsored legislation, enacted in 2000, designed to get automakers and regulators to move more quickly to recall vehicles and parts with safety defects.
Russ Crumback is general manager of Crumback Chevrolet in New Haven. He knows there will be considerable backlash over the issue.
"Anything that gives the public reason to pause is a chink in your armor," Crumback said. "(GM) just needs to deal with it straight on and alleviate any concerns people have. The main thing is to make sure we can accommodate customers and have the ability to fix and remedy the problem."
Crumback sales manager Kenny Barr said that will take some doing.
"If I put my customer's shoes on, I wouldn't be too thrilled about this, either," Barr said, adding that the part to fix the problem could arrive next month. "There are some angry people out there. There will be people shaking their receipts at you."
Barr said it could cost $300 to $400 to correct each defect.

Destefano said she has no intention of buying a new car.
"My friends keep telling me to go out and get a Honda," she said. "I don't have the money to buy a new car. GM knew about this. It's criminal negligence."
