Not all economy seats are created equal. Can you get a good seat experience for decent shut-eye? By doing a little bit of digging you'll find out enough info to help you make a flight in economy a pleasant flight, instead of an unbearable one. My suggestion is that you should be aware of what one or two inches of leg room can do — it makes the difference between being able to open your laptop all the way or being able to cross my legs comfortably. Seat pitch and width can vary greatly between airline carriers and aircraft type. So, when you're comparing flights, be sure to check out the comparison chart at the end of the post to help you identify the differences between seat pitch and width on different airlines.
Seat pitch is the distance from any point on one seat to the exact same point on the seat in front or behind it. And while it is not the exact equivalent of "legroom", it does give a very good approximation of how much seat room you should expect. The Bottom Line: the more seat pitch the better!
Photo: Travis Church
Virgin America – Where JetBlue attempts to woo its patrons with extra leg room and some satellite audio and video content, Virgin has opted for a sensory barrage. Stepping into what is seemingly a "purple palace" in the sky with fully-equipped mood lighting, the brand new fleet of aircrafts at Virgin America provide passengers with some of the latest technology for in-flight entertainment and productivity. The Airbus A320 features comfortable leather seats in coach class, and a comfortable pitch of 32" and width of 19.7".
Emirates – Emirates is relatively generous to their coach passengers in terms of legroom. Coach passengers flying the A330 can expect their seats to have a pitch of 32", while flying the B777 aircraft will up the ante to 33"-34". Seat width remains approximately 17.5" on either type of aircraft.
Singapore Airlines – Singapore Airline were the first airline in the world to put into service the Airbus A380. The A380 has 32" seat pitch and 19" width. The Singapore Airbus A340-500 used on long haul flight between New York and Singapore is even more spacious than the bigger A380 with 37" of seat pitch and 20" seat width.
JetBlue – JetBlue has recently reconfigured their fleet of A320 aircrafts which has helped to increase the seat pitch in coach. Passengers can now expect to have a coach seat with a 34"-36" pitch, and for an additional $10, passengers can request an "Even More Legroom" seat, which increases the pitch to an impressive 38" – these seats are limited, and you must call a JetBlue agent to book one of these seats at 1-800-JETBLUE.
Virgin Atlantic – Flying Virgin Atlantic offers two choices for economy passengers: Economy, and Premium Economy. Economy passengers can expect their seats to have a pitch of about 31", while Premium Economy customers can expect a tad bit more leg room and a wider seat at 21", compared to 17.5". Economy seats also feature seatback TVs, video on-demand, and some seats feature video game consoles with up to 35 different games.
Qantas – Qantas provides ample legroom for economy passengers on both their domestic and international flights. The B747 fleet provides 32" pitch seating, and a width of 17.25". Qantas recently began offering International Premium Economy seating for select flights, and these seats offer a wider 19.5" seat and footrest. Each seat also has its own personal fold-out 8.4" touch-screen monitor built-in to the armrest for watching movies on-demand.
Cathay Pacific – Cathay's fleet of B-777s offer a seat pitch of 32", and a width of 18.5". Flying coach class aboard their larger A340-600 aircrafts, from Hong Kong to New York nonstop, offers a marginally slimmer seat width at 17.75". These long flights offer economy passengers an innovative view from the nose of the plane via a nose-wheel cam that broadcasts a signal to the TV screens on-board.
British Airways – On the British Airways Boeing 747-400 the World Traveller (economy) class has 31″ of pitch, and a seat width of 17.5". Each British Airways aircraft also features 4-5 rows of World Traveler Plus economy seating with larger 38" pitch, 18.5" width, and slightly greater reclining capabilities.
Japan Airlines – Japan Airlines offers both an Economy and a Premium Economy choice for seating. The economy seats offer a spacious 34" of pitch and a 17" width, while the Premium Economy seats offer an increased 38" of pitch and 18.9" width. Premium Economy seating is available on JLA's Boeing 777-300ER aircraft (a total of 46 seats per plane). These seats also offer an incredible 120-degrees of recline.
United Airlines – United offers two choices to its economy passengers; Economy and Economy Plus. Economy passengers can expect differing amounts of leg room depending upon the specific aircraft. All aircraft seats have a seat pitch of 31" except for: the A319 (31"-33"), the A320 (31"-33"), the A321 (32"), and the A330-300 (32"-34"). Economy Plus seating adds an additional 4" of legroom, and this seating option is available to Premier or high status members of United's Mileage Plus frequent flier program, or to full-fare/unrestricted economy passengers.
>Airline Economy Seats Chart
Seat Pitch | Seat Width | Seat Recline | |
32" | 19.7" | 32" | |
32" | 17.5" | 6" | |
32" | 19-20" | 6-8" | |
32" | 17.5" | n/a | |
31-32" | 17.2" | 6 degrees | |
32" | 17.75" | 15 degrees | |
31" | 17.5" | n/a | |
34" | 17" | 32 degrees | |
31-35" | 17-18" | 5" |

The below is incorrect – JetBlue's EML seats can be reserved online:
>>>For an additional $10, passengers can request an "Even More Legroom" seat, which increases the pitch to an impressive 38" – these seats are limited, and you must call a JetBlue agent to book one of these seats at 1-800-JETBLUE.

You missed Midwest Airlines! When I first boarded a Midwest flight from Dallas to Milwaukee, I thought to myself, "wow, this is a really big 1st class section!" Then I realized, that there IS no 1st class, and that all the seats are leather and wide and comfortable. Unfortunately, there are no TV screens loaded with movies and video games (like there are on Singapore Air), but it's still my favorite domestic airline.

I have to disagree with you about the high marks for Virgin America. Between a deeper back-of-seat casing to hold the electronics and the fact that their seats recline more than average (a good 6″), once the seat in front of you reclines, it is virtually impossible to stand up, and quite difficult to get up from your seat and out your aisle except in a highly contorted and stooped manner. Also, the hard white plastic casings of the back of VA's seats make for a sleek interior (reminding me of Kubrick's 1968 "2001″), but given some bad turbulence and a loose seatbelt, I fully expect to start hearing about lawsuits over broken noses and knocked-out teeth.

British Airways!?
I flew them this past summer to Europe and back. I can't recall the seat pitch being that extraordinary. If it was, it just goes to show that there's a lot more to a flight than seat pitch. The flight attendenants were surly, the food was abysmal, and the video systems were always broken.

I actually think Qantas' economy (read: sardine class) seats stink. To fly 14 hours to LA from the east coast of Australia in such jammed up seats should be illegal. The Asian airlines, Virgin and Air NZ offer far better quality if you're flying to the States. Thai Air has from memory 34 inches in economy, and whilst 2 inches doesn't seem alot, ask any guy!! At nearly $10,000 for business to the States from Australia (around $6,000 to the UK, far longer journey) business is a no go zone for most. At least we now have the option of premium economy with Air NZ and Qantas is offering it later in the year. The combo of long haul flights and no space is a claustrophobe's nightmare, time to change your space airlines!

Being 6'2″, JetBlue takes the cake for seat comfort. I don't care how soft and leathery that Virgin America's seats are, I'll still take the extra 2 to 4 inches of legroom on JetBlue any day. Forget the bells and whistles and neon lights, a couple extra inches of legroom makes a big difference.

What about EVA Air. They have the Evergreen deluxe which provides business class type seating but with economy service. Sure makes a flight from Taipei to Amsterdam a lot more comfortable.

Funny you mention Emirates as one of the best economy seats. They are the only airline that squeezes and extra column of seats in economy on their 777′s. All other 777′s go 3-3-3 Emirates go 3-4-3. Squishy if you ask me. Check out Etihad airways their economy is great.

How does Thai Air economy seating stack up against the top 10 other airlines? In the Winter Months they switch to a 747 for the LAX-BKK itinerary….it does not appear as spacious as the Airbus 340-500 they use for LAA-BKK other times of the year.

Midwest airline is far better than United! In fact I would vote for United as the worst Airline in US! I do not care if now they offer better seat comfort as long as their other services still socks. 8 out of 10 times you lose your connection in Chicago even if you have two hour layover. Half of the time your bags arrive at least a day later than you. Once their machine could not print me a boarding pass and their agent on the phone kept me waiting for half an hour before she could figure out their problem and finally they told me now I have passed the 40mins deadline for checking bags and have to take the next flight few hours later.

I'm only 5ft3, I find the leg room on most economy flights uncomfortable, my boyfriend is 6ft something and fying with him in the seat next to me is a bit like watching a trapped octupus (not that I actually know what a trapped octupus looks like!). It's not really too much to ask of airlines to offer a decent service as well as decent legroom for its passengers.

I just flew the new Qantas A380 return from Los Angeles to Melbourne Australia. Okay… it's new, clean, quiet but in coach, it's the same old thing. It's remarkable that the FAA allows a airline to fly with passengers so packed in together. It truly should be illegal. It would be near impossible to get everyone out of a plane like that in the event one had to quickly. I've never been so packed in … in all my life. Truly remarkable.
The seats are some Australian designer design … and there thin and very close together. The flight attendants were very nice and the flight was fine … just too tight. One other thing … on their website they talk about the snack bar available anytime to coach passengers. Really really really stupid. It had a bowl of apples, stale cookies and soda. STOCK IT WITH SOME REAL FOOD!!! Although, the food they served has got to be the worst I've had on a airline in a long long time.

Well the list shows some of the best economy classes… I can speak for AeroMexico, which offers 31" – 32" pitch on short-haul flights, with seat width of 17", on-board Boeing 737-700/800 and MD-82/87/88′s, while for long-haul flights they offer 34" pitch on their Boeing 767/777 fleet, and 18.5" of width…

BTW, Mexicana offers in long-haul flights in Economy Class:
35" pitch
19" width
On-board their Boeing 767-200/300 and Airbus A330-200 aircraft. -

The person who couldn't wait to fly Virgina because of how awesome the seats look, don't do it if you can help it. When I first walked onto the Virgin flight I was WOW, Ahhhh this is nice, they have the mood lighting mellow dance music going on… but then I sat in the seat and the person in front of me put their seat down… I thought I can't breath! Virgin America has the TV for entertainment, because of the thickness of the seat and how far they lean back I felt SO cramped. I went back to Jet Blue. They have the TVs also but they have most leg and seat room. When I can I pay the extra money and go Jet Blue.

Q. Will there be a sequel to A Discovery of Witches and when will it be published?
A. A Discovery of Witches was the first book in the All Souls Trilogy. The second volume, Shadow of Night, will be published in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand on 10 July 2012. It will be published in other foreign territories as translations are completed. Please see the foreign editions and translations pages for A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and book #3 for information as it becomes available.
Q. In how many countries is ADOW available now?
A Discovery of Witches has been sold into thirty-eight foreign territories at the time of writing. Check our list of foreign editions for further information.
Q. I don't live in the U.S. How can I find out if and when Shadow of Night will be available in my country?
A. As foreign rights to Shadow of Night are sold, we post them here. When foreign rights to book #3 sell, we will post them here on this website.
Q. Why isn't there a mass market paperback edition of A Discovery of Witches in the US?
A. The publishers decide when and if there will be a mass-market paperback. Currently, there are hardback, audio, electronic, large print, and trade paperback edition. If a mass-market edition is planned for the US, I will let you know in the news updates.
Q. I thought Jennifer Ikeda did a wonderful job reading the audio version of ADOW! Will she be reading the rest of the books in the trilogy?
A. I agree! Ms. Ikeda has agreed to read Shadow of Night for the English-language audio version. We'll have to keep our fingers crossed that she'll be available to read book #3 in due course.
Q. Did you know the end of the book when you started?
A. I knew the end of Diana and Matthew's story very soon after I started. I wrote the first three lines ("it begins with absence and desire…") first: that was my outline. Then I wrote chapter one of A Discovery of Witches. Then I wrote what I believe is the final chapter of book #3.
Q. Where do the characters come from?
A. If I ever figure that out, I'll let you know!
Q. Who is your favorite character in ADOW?
A. Hamish.
Q. Do you believe in magic?
A. Yes. I never disagree with Albert Einstein.
Q. Do you believe there are witches and vampires in the world?
A. Absolutely. They're not always known as witches and vampires, though.
Q. Do you see yourself in Diana?
A. I would like to think we can all see something of ourselves in Diana.
Q. How did you research the book? How long did it take you?
A. I've been studying European history between 1400 and 1800 since 1982. I have lots of notes.
Q. Where did the idea to write the book come from?
A. From a vacation in Puerto Vallarta, where I walked through the airport and saw all the books about witches and vampires on the shelves. This made me wonder if there really are witches and vampires, what do they do for a living?
Q. What made you decide to make Satu a Finn?
A. Members of my family and close circle of friends are Finnish. Besides, Satu means 'fairytale.' Who could resist naming a witch 'Fairytale'?
Q. Do you know that AB- is not the universal blood acceptor? That would be AB+.
A. Yes, I do know that. I can even track the moment in the writing process when I transposed the bloodtype from my notes to the computer and reversed it. I didn't catch it. No one caught it. Except for the hundreds of nurses and medical professionals who read the book, brought it to my attention, and got me to correct it. If you have a later printing of A Discovery of Witches, or the paperback, it will be correct in your copy. Thanks to all of you who let me know that it was wrong.
Q. How did you learn about the ancient language of Occitan?
A. I'm pretty sure I first encountered it as an undergraduate in a medieval literature course, then again as a graduate student.
Q. Why the Knights of Lazarus? Where can I learn more about them?
A. They are the least-understood medieval crusading order. Very little is known about them. That's why they were irresistible.
Q. Where did the inspiration of a vampire that does yoga come from?
A. I was in a yoga class trying to do downward dog and while upside down I spotted someone who seemed to be balancing on a bit of their forearm and their ear. Obviously that person was not human.
Q. Why is Diana so independent? Why is Diana so dependent (on Matthew)?
A. Different perspectives are a beautiful thing, yes? I put these two questions together—the most often asked about Diana—just to show you that independence, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Q. How would you classify the novel?
A. Fiction. Plain old fiction.
Q. How do you plot the book?
A. Through a combination of careful planning and complete accident.
Q. How do you handle the complicated backstories?
A. Through a combination of careful planning and complete accident.
Q. What chapters of ADOW were the hardest to write?
A. The chapters when Matthew abandoned Diana at Sept-Tours.
Q. Does it feel like your characters are real?
A. Yes.
Q. How long did it take to write ADOW?
A. I wrote the book in nine months and revised it for submission over the course of three months. Then I spent a further six months editing the book for publication.
Q. How did you feel when you were done with ADOW?
A. Incredulous and numb.
Q. Can you sign my book? Can I purchase a signed book from you?
A. I cannot sign your book unless I see you at a bookstore visit or you purchase a signed book in advance from a bookseller with a scheduled tour visit (see here for current schedule). Bookstore policies vary with respect to advance orders, shipping, and how many books can be purchased/signed/personalized. Our friends at Pages Bookstore in Manhattan Beach California have agreed to fulfill signed book orders for those of you who would like a signed/personalized copy of the US edition. Please see the detailed information here for more information.
Q. If I come to a book signing event, is it okay to request a photo with the author?
A. Absolutely. I'm happy to have my picture taken with you—singly, with book groups, etc.
Q. I am very worried about Hollywood ruining the story. Please tell me that you've not signed away all control over it.
A. I sold the rights to the trilogy to Warner Brothers because I trusted the producers, Denise DiNovi and Alison Greenspan, and the studio to take care of my characters and story. I do not have any control over the movies. I am not a filmmaker. I am a historian and a novelist. In order to keep teaching, researching, and writing, I need to keep doing what I do well and let others do what they do best, i.e. making movies. That said, when the production team asks for my opinion, I give it to them.
Q. Who would you like to see play Diana and Matthew if a film of ADOW were made?
A. Imagine for a moment you are the actor cast to play Matthew, and in your first interview you are asked 'how do you feel about the fact that Deborah Harkness saw X as Matthew and not you?' If you can imagine that, you can imagine why I'm not going to tell you!
Q. Can you put me in contact with the producers of the (proposed) film?
A. I'm pretty sure that some careful detective work online will get you an email address for Warner Brothers. After that, you're on your own!
Q. Can I work for you?
A. It's very kind of you to want to work for me—especially since you don't know me or what I'd be like as a boss! I am, however, not hiring at this time.
Q. Do you row?
A. I DID row. I was in the Keble College Oxford Novice, 2nd Eight, and 1st Eight. I was also invited to be on the Women's Blue Boat Development Squad but had to decline so I could finish my doctoral dissertation! I am a port/stroke side rower, and sat at various times in seat numbers 6, 4, and 2.
Q. Do you ride?
A. I do ride. I rode as both an undergraduate and graduate and, after a twenty-year hiatus, recently started again. I began in hunter/jumper and progressed on to dressage. I've never ridden Western.
Q. Do you do yoga?
A. Yes. I have practiced Iyengar, Anusara, and Vinyasa Flow.
Q. How important is music to your creative process?
A. Music is essential to writing, living, and breathing—at least it is for me. I've never written without music in the background. I find inspiration in it, and it helps me maintain a consistent emotional tone as I work on a chapter over the course of days or weeks. (I'm listening to music as I answer these questions!)
Q. How autobiographical is the book?
A. Every character has a bit of me in them, and many of them do something I enjoy doing or have done—cooking, rowing, riding, etc. But the book is NOT autobiographical. It's fiction.
Q. Has the success of ADOW surprised you?
A. Yes. Who is prepared for success like that? It's been an amazing and humbling experience.
Q. How has the success of ADOW changed your life? Your writing?
A. It's not the success that's changed things so much as becoming a novelist has changed things. I find it harder to read fiction, almost impossible to sit through a movie, and never watch TV (though I dearly loved TV before). As for the writing, it's not the success but the fact that I know there is now an audience for the books that makes it feel different. When I sit at the computer, it's as though you are all there reading over my shoulder. A few minutes into the writing, though, I forget you're there!
Q. What is your favorite historical time period?
A. The late sixteenth century
Q. What are your essential writing snacks?
A. Edamame, Clif Mojo Bars, cashews, and almonds. And I drink lots of tea and water, some wine, and the occasional cappuccino.
Q. Did you live in Oxford?
A. Yes. I spent the summer there in 1985, and lived there between 1991 and 1993.

Women Who Consume Alcohol May Lower Their Type 2 Risk
There is a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes in women who consume alcohol. That was the finding of researchers in the Netherlands investigating the relationship between alcohol consumption and type 2 in older women.
Between 1993 and 1997, 16,330 women aged 49–70 years and free from diabetes were enrolled in a study and followed for 6.2 years. Over the course of the study, 760 cases of type 2 were documented.
"A linear inverse association between alcohol consumption and type 2 diabetes risk was observed, adjusting for potential confounders," say the researchers. "Compared with abstainers, the hazard ratio for type 2 diabetes was 0.86 for women consuming 5 to 30 grams of alcohol per week, 0.66 for 30 to 70 grams per week, 0.91 for 70 to 140 grams per week, 0.64 for 140 to 210 grams per week and 0.69 for greater than 210 grams of alcohol per week."
The researchers say that beverage type did not influence this association.

Dec 7th 2007 7:25PM i'l try to bit a bit mroe explicite. There are 3 major jokes in this add for french :
- He's a kung fu movie actor.
- He's using english words in his french sentences (he's famous for ;))
- He tries philosphy about being a sheep in the world. I can't explain without translating his billions interviews where he say amazing things about world and stuff (most of them are stupid, ofc :D)
If you don't know who he's and what he's famous for (more for his weird interviews than his movies ;)), you'll miss all the funny side of this add.

Hi. I'm Giuseppe. I'm 20 years-old. I'm from Venezuela but I'm living in New York City right now. And my hobbies are swimming, rollerblading, reading and watching movies. I'm currently single. I don't have a girlfriend right now. She's got to be very smart. I like flirty girls a lot. It's a plus if she likes Harry Potter and preferably if she has really long hair. I'm a very flirtatious person. Although, when I get in to a relationship, I'm the kind of romantic guy. I would do very romantic things for my girl but that doesn't happen very often. I mean me getting into a relationship. A turn off for a girl would be if she smokes, I hate the smell of smoke.

The play itself is problematic. It begins with a focus on the uses and abuses of state power, as Julius Caesar, home from the wars, seems set to become absolute ruler of Rome. The ugly currents beneath his genial bearing and the city's general air of celebration are revealed early, when two men who object to the festivities are hustled off and — as we learn later — put to death. The opposition is a mixed bag. Cassius, who brings together several prominent Romans in a plot to assassinate Caesar, seems motivated primarily by envy. But his co-conspirator, Brutus, is a deeply principled man, full of concern for the body politic and anguished by the choice he faces. And the moral compass swings again after the assassination when Caesar's ally, Mark Antony, turns his righteous indignation into a quest for power of his own. But after he goads a crowd of Romans into a vengeful rampage with one of the greatest and most manipulative political speeches ever written, the action goes into a downward spiral — battles, battlefield suicides — interrupted only by the brilliantly passionate scene in which Cassius and Brutus quarrel and reconcile.
Cynthia Croot's direction amplifies rather than mitigates the script's problems, but it also provides small moments of revelation. She's set the play in "a fictional Rome several years from now — beset with civil strife, embracing primitive religious rites amidst social upheaval, poised on the brink of either revitalization or collapse" — and that means she can introduce just about anything: costumes of no particular period (Mark Antony first enters in shorts and running shoes, like any Boulderite out for a morning jog), and a stage that's almost bare except for a shabby sofa and an intrusive pile of junk stage left that serves no purpose whatever. A drawing of a lion dominates the set; the beast's front is luxuriantly furred and maned, while its rear end is skeletal. Perhaps it represents Rome, perhaps kingship, perhaps both. The Soothsayer wanders around in a peculiar white costume and futuristic headgear that still has me racking my brain for possible pop-culture references. A dead deer — presumably the animal that Caesar's servants slaughtered in order to read the future in its entrails, and whose lack of heart prophesied Caesar's downfall — hangs above the stage, head lolling. I don't think it's meant to be funny, but it is. Shower curtains adorn the set, and Caesar's corpse is ultimately wrapped in one. Or perhaps it's a dry cleaning bag.
What misguided fealty to postmodernism has Croot directing the actors to freeze at the moment of the attack on Caesar while one of them announces intermission? This, plus the rollicking rock music that accompanies the eventual kill, trivializes every death that follows. And in the scene where Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, attempts to dissuade her husband from going to the Capitol because she fears for his life, Calpurnia is whacked out on drugs. Having pleaded on her knees and lost, she seems to lose interest in the entire argument and wanders off without a backward glance. Although this is kind of amusing, I'm not sure what it adds.
But while some of Croot's ideas are awful and others just odd, a few work very well indeed. Some are mere moments: Caesar gently touches the Soothsayer; Portia silently watches Cassius and Brutus saying goodbye to each other; Caesar's servant scuttles out of the room, and we realize that he's afraid of his master.
Richard Thieriot's Mark Antony is the best thing about the production, although it took me a few scenes to appreciate the interpretation. This Mark Antony manifests none of the charisma we associate with the role (think Marlon Brando in the movie). When he enters the Capitol to view Caesar's body, he's a sheepish nerd, shifting from foot to foot, flashing appeasing grins at the bloody-handed men surrounding him. He mutes the poetry and passion of the great speeches and gives "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" just enough juice to accomplish his ends — neither more nor less. It's always wonderful to hear these famous set pieces anew, and Thieriot delivers them as if he'd just that moment thought them up.
Bob Buckley plays Julius Caesar as a corporate type — brisk, practical and unimaginative — and it fits. In another concept that helps us reimagine the action, Croot has made Cassius a woman. Vivid and restrained at first, Karen Slack gives us a Cassius who's both a talented and cunning officer and a woman operating in a world so sexist that, despite her rank, a co-conspirator feels free to tap her on the nose. But in the later scenes, as her voice cracks and she becomes all tears and vulnerability, Brutus reveals an ugly dominance over her. This shifts the play off its axis until it seems that all the plotting has been less about power and politics than Cassius's unrequited love for Brutus. It doesn't help that her death is more bathetic than noble: Pindarus stabs her as requested, then puts her out of her writhing misery with his gun as if she were a dog. (If the man had a bloody gun, why didn't he use it in the first place?)

Peter Jackson says the negative reaction this week over new technology he's using to shoot The Hobbit won't hold him back, and he hopes moviegoers will give it a try and judge for themselves.
"Nobody is going to stop," he said. "This technology is going to keep evolving."
When Warner Bros. showed off 10 minutes of footage this week at CinemaCon, the annual convention for theater owners, many attendees complained that this version of Middle Earth looked more like a movie set than the atmospheric, textured world seen in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
There was a lot of love for Jackson's storytelling — the scenes of young Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman, from the British version of The Office) battling a trio of goblins, and Ian McKellen's Gandalf exploring the tombs of the now-reanimated wringwraiths, received universal praise. Complaints only centered on the technology used to capture and project the footage.
Jackson hopes critics of the format will change their minds when they see the finished film, but notes that it will also be available in traditional formats in many theaters.
"At first it's unusual because you've never seen a movie like this before. It's literally a new experience, but you know, that doesn't last the entire experience of the film–not by any stretch, [just] 10 minutes or so," Jackson tells EW. "That's a different experience than if you see a fast-cutting montage at a technical presentation."
So what does he say to people who just decide they don't like the glossy new look of the format he's using?

What Sol&Res Has To Do with Columbus Day
By Zachary Pullin, Soulforce Director of Online Community
When I was a kid, I remember walking into my church in Spokane, WA. It was St. Francis of Assisi and we only started going to this church because our former church, St. Patrick's, didn't like that my mom was divorced. The wooden pews in rows; the music team practicing hymns; the smell of damp walls and incense and old cushions; this was my church.
I went to Sunday school here and was walking on this specific day for confirmation. My confirmation name was Luke and my uncle Scott was my sponsor.
What I came to know and love about church was the community. However, as I grew to understand more about my Native American culture and history my understanding and feelings about the Church became more complex. I began to understand the ways in which the Church had been misused to colonize my people and suppress our culture. Needless to say, this dual awareness of church as a community, but also as a misused tool of oppression, became even more acute when I came out.
This is not to say that faith and church are inherently antagonistic towards LGBTQ people or indigenous populations. The relationship is complicated.
For me, I experience a modern form of colonization when I perform the sign of the cross instead of smudging, which is a common North American Indigenous persons form of spiritual cleansing; or when I recite the Our Father instead of the traditional prayer drumming song of the plains Indians. Yet these other "imposed" rituals of the Catholic faith are meaningful to me.
And what does the church where I was taught about love and community have to do with Columbus Day, a day that marked the beginning of 500 years of genocide and oppression of Native peoples in the Americas?
Columbus Day was first observed in Colorado in 1906 as an official state holiday. It became a federal holiday in 1937. But, it's important to note that much of Columbus' journey was a quest for God, glory, and gold - not a better trade route to Asia. When the Santa Maria shipwrecked near what is today called the Bahamas, the Lucayan Natives helped save the crew and cargo. Little did they know they'd be cargo soon enough.
As an explorer, Columbus needed to show the Queen of Spain that he had "discovered" more than just a trade route but – potentially – access to gold. So, he stole 25 Lucayan Natives and took them back to Spain with him – only 7 survived the brutal voyage. In his journal, he wrote: "I could conquer the whole of them with fifty men and govern them as I pleased." By 1520, the Spaniards had removed all the Lucayan peoples from the Bahamas and had taken them as slaves.
So Columbus was the father of the transatlantic slave trade; we seem to forget that when we observe Columbus Day. Columbus was motivated by a belief that he and Europeans must spread the Christian faith in the Americas. But their actions in spreading this faith included depriving the Native peoples of their freedom, sovereignty, and property rights.
This was fundamentalism in action. In the Spanish Requirement of 1513 the Spanish Crown said plainly that they had the divine right to take possession of the territories of the New World and to subjugate, exploit, and when necessary, destroy the Native inhabitants. The Spaniards thus considered those who resisted as defying God's plan, and used the Catholic faith to justify their conquest.
Think of all of the holidays we observe in the US: President's Day, which honors leaders like Abraham Lincoln, who took the first legislative steps to free the enslaved peoples of America. Martin Luther King, Jr Day, which celebrates the legacy of the Civil Rights movement.
And…Columbus Day?
How are we conditioned to understand genocide, colonization, and fundamentalism? What are the standards by which we use to observe someone's "legacy" as a holiday?
And, therein lies our work with Sol&Res. People of faith have to work out these complex relationships because the institutions we are connected to have often been misused. Sol&Res will examine the roots of fundamentalism and attempt to untangle the complex web of relationships between fundamentalism and perpetuation of oppression.
So, as the Father shuffled to each one in our confirmation class, "sealing" them with the holy oil, I was confused and wrestled more than I thought I would. I felt that with each step of the sacrament I made, I grew farther away from my cultural spirituality. It was the fear that I was complicit in my own spiritual colonization. It was the fear that in losing my cultural and traditional spirituality, I wouldn't learn how to speak in the language of my people to the Great Spirit – the Creator. Our Spirits don't speak English.

All my mates smsing me about the umpires.
One of the best things about living in Essendon is when they lose
Hibberd did a fine job as our loosey too. I would have shifted Hardingham up there but overall that wasn't a big factor. The amount of goals we gave away from bad skill errors and stupid free-kicks (pears! hooker! hardingham!) and number of kicks that fall 5 meters short of the leading player were the reasons. obviously everyone's gonna focus on the umps and losing hooker & hocking and perhaps the goal-kicking those were the big two. the very first goal was soft as **** and it continued all game
I like the look of Hibberd, but he did not intercept as many as Wells did. Essendon couldn't kick it inside 50 anywhere in front of goal because Wells was just sitting there doing whatever he liked.
And fair enough keeping Hibberd back when you were a goal up or scores level. But with 5 minutes left and you blokes down 7 points?
You man him up.
Whets the appetite for tonight.

I'm putting a bunch of old work boxes into plaster. Being plaster, the holes sometimes end up a bit larger than intended. How should I patch these holes so the 'ears' on the old work boxes can grab on correctly? Generally this isn't very much, just 1/4 to 2 inches too big. If it was a bigger patch, I'd know what to do, but usually for a patch that small I'd just put a blowout patch in and that doesn't seem like it would provide enough strength for holding a box up. |

For the first hole, make one smaller than needed. Enlarging it a bit is easy. But for your problem, depending on how the box is mounted, use pieces of 1/4" plywood about 1 1/2" wide and 4" to 5" long. Coat with glue one side. For walls with smooth backside, white glue is OK, for walls with rough backside, use construction adhesive. Insert the plywood through the hole with the adhesive against the wall surface and clamp in place at the exact desired location. I use small C-clamps. The whole thing requires some dexterity. Unclamp next day. Patch exposed wall surface as necessary. Then install electrical box. |
If you are dropping in a single-gang box, could you enlarge the hole to fit a double-gang box and put a single gang mud-ring on it? |

In determining how feasible it is to recycle different types of plastic, it matters whether the recycled materials come from industrial, commercial, or residential sources.
clean and homogeneousdirty and heterogeneousknow the difference
ALSO SEE:secondary markets for plastics
Industrial and Some Commercial Plastic Discards: Clean and Homogeneous
Because it is important to keep different types of plastic separate in the melting stage of recycling, and also because contaminants such as organic materials, glass, metal bits, or moisture interfere with the melting process, the best plastic for recycling is clean and all of one type (homogeneous).
Clean, homogeneous discarded plastic comes primarily from plastic factory cuttings and extras. These sources are called "pre-consumer" scrap; the materials are untainted, not having gone through actual use. Another example of clean and homogeneous plastic discards comes from businesses that go through large quantities of the same type of plastic product and are able to keep it separate and clean (such as with plastic wrapping and packaging involved in shipping and receiving).

Residential and Other Commercial Plastic Discards: Dirty and Heterogeneous
Plastic products that have been soiled in use discarded with other materials are far more difficult to recycle. Most consumer plastics are collected along with cans and glass bottles in a commingled mixed (heterogeneous) stream. Because these materials have to be sorted and washed clean, they are harder and more expensive to recycle. Thus they are less valuable as a commodity than clean, homogeneous discarded plastic.
Know the Difference
You may have heard of cases in which plastics that are very difficult to recycle (for example Styrofoam) are being made into new products. Usually these are cases of clean, homogeneous plastics discards being recycled. This adds to general confusion about what is recyclable. Just because in one place and time there is a viable case of clean, homogeneous plastic recycling going on, this does not mean that it makes sense to include that same plastic in a curbside, commingled residential recycling program.

Stimac T et al. – Significantly lower lamellar body count (LBC) in pre–eclamptic pregnancies between 31 and 36weeks of gestation indicate delayed FLM associated with pre–eclampsia.
Methods- A prospective study was conducted to analyze 378 AF samples containing 5mL of AF from 306 singleton pregnancies at 26–39weeks.
- Stratified by gestational age groups, pregnancies were categorized as follows: pre–eclampsia (n=25); intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) (n=74); pre–eclampsia and IUGR (n=63); and control (n=144).
- Amniotic fluid LBC in each group was estimated and medians were compared for defined gestational age periods.
- Statistical analyses were performed via non–parametric tests.
- Between 31 and 33weeks, significantly lower median LBCs were found in the pre–eclampsia group than in the IUGR group (P=0.022) and in pregnancies with both entities (P=0.031).
- Between 34 and 36weeks, there were significantly lower median LBCs in the pre–eclampsia and the pre–eclampsia/IUGR groups than in the IUGR group (P=0.026 and P=0.004, respectively), as well as in the pre–eclampsia/IUGR group compared with the control group (P=0.04).

These took no time at all, and the kids have been enjoying them. They have made up games where they try to pile them on their heads and walk down the hallway without having any fall off, or tossing them into baskets (or at each other, because children). Beanbags are just fun to have around, so give them a try!

Perfectly Frumpy Sweaters For Two
Last week, I needed to sew. I just *needed* to, you know? I started looking through my Pinterest boards, which is apparently my go-to activity for inspiration (just look at my "crafty" tab - I mention Pinterest frequently). I really want to make some spring clothing this year - I would love to get in the habit of making a few new pieces with each season. I thought it best to start with something for the girl. That's when I found this amazingly clear and simple tutorial from Craftiness Is Not Optional. Wow. I am in love! Not only was this a simple garment, but I didn't need a pesky serger, which I don't have. Hooray!
The girl chose her fabric colors and I got to work. It took me almost two hours, I would say, from drafting of the pattern to finished product (I still need to iron these puppies...ironing is not so much my thing). Once she had one, well. It was seconds until the boy declared that he wanted one, too. "BLUE AND SILVER!!!!!" (Silver is kind of his thing.)
The second time around was much quicker - a little over an hour. I made the body of his the same size, even though there are two years and two sizes between my kids. I shortened the length of the arms, and made the pockets without the pleat. He loves it, and has requested that I add a big button to the front so that he can partially close it at the top.
I used a delightful 12 ounce cotton knit for these, and I only wish that I had more information about where this beautiful fabric came from. I bought a ton of it from a big group order on a sewing message board about four or five years ago. MESSAGE BOARDS, YOU GUYS. The good old days.
I will likely be making several more of these in more colors and sizes, perhaps with varying pockets and a belt, or even a hood. YES. A HOOD. HOOOOOOOOOODS!!!!!!
Now I'm working on my knitting projects, and I may try to sneak in some smaller sewing here and there. I'm itching to make one of these amazing quilted mug rugs from Amanda at Ms. McPorkchop Quilts. Her quilting skills are pretty amazing, for reals. I love to look through her past projects for motivation. I have a lot of quilting to do this year!
I hope that everyone is having a fine Thursday. We had a snow day today, but the sun has come out for a bit, so even though it's cold, it still feels cheerful inside. Come on, Spring!!!!!

Thinking Spring
Though the temperatures are at a point where they're not *quite* warm, and there will still be the random day with a high in the teens, I can tell that springtime is not far off. The sunlight is changing, and now with daylight savings in effect, I'm looking forward to enjoying more of it. I have felt the itch to MAKE THINGS, which is proof enough for me that a new season is coming.
I have some beautiful yarn from Quince & Co, which I hope to start winding up today. I have plans for some new knits for the kids for their Easter baskets, and I'm pretty excited. I haven't had a big knitting project in too long, and now to have two? Yes. The boy has been requesting a "silver sweater with yellow buttons", and some lark in frost seems like it will fit the bill. For the girl, a "very very pink" springtime shawl (chickadee in rosa rugosa).
I sewed myself an extra-big project bag for the occasion - I have been hoarding this Japanese sheep print for years, always knowing I wanted to make something knitting related with it. The interior is some happy melon Kona cotton that was a leftover from a beach bag I made several years ago. I'm loving the contrast of the end-of-winter browns with the hope of brightness hidden inside.
I have the latest issue of Kinfolk to dive into. I have never read this magazine before, but it really is lovely - so well made and designed. I wanted this issue in particular because the theme is Home, which is something that I have been striving to focus on lately. Living more simply and with less...just LESS.
I also sewed up a little something for the girl, which I will share later in the week as I now have another to make for a certain boy who has decided that he would like one, too. She chose her own colors for this creation, maybe inspired by an envelope of wildflower seeds that has been sitting on my desk, just waiting for the ground to thaw?
Have you been feeling the change in seasons where you are?

{adventures} Universal Studios, February 22, 2014
Our last day in Orlando arrived too quickly. After eating some breakfast at the hotel, we decided to take the water taxi back to Universal Studios. It was a quick ride, and quite refreshing.
This particular Saturday was one of the Mardi Gras Celebration days at the park. While we didn't stay for these special festivities, which included a Mardi Gras parade and live music (more on that later), it was cool to see the decorations everywhere, different from our previous day.
Our first stop was the Transformers ride. We went through the long queue, but since it was still early in the day, the wait time was quite short, so we had to pull over to the side to take photos in order to let other people walk past us.
My second time on the ride, I did not wear the special glasses. I wanted to be able to see all of the physical environment elements that the husband and his company had designed. It was so cool, and I would recommend that everyone try this on a second time around. It's amazing to discover which elements are actually real, and not part of the video projection. It's a bummer that the ride car doors are so tall, because there are some features that you practically miss altogether, including a huge helicopter!
Part of the attraction of the Mardi Gras festivities is that there are all kinds of live concerts that happen on these special evenings. As you can see, Robin Thicke had other things going on this evening, and did not perform. I have no idea what they did instead of this...maybe nothing?
We didn't go on the Twister ride, but I found it funny that their big merchandising for this ride was a variety of cows wearing goggles, because of that one flying cow in the movie. *sigh*
The Shrek 4-D Experience was a general disappointment. It seems like they spent an awful lot of money on theming the queue for this, only to have you enter a crappy theater and watch a short 3-D movie that involves chairs that jerk around and spray water at you. The motorized chairs were really loud, at times louder than the film, and it was just really weird.
Painted flats! Like a movie lot!
Construction for the Harry Potter expansion, which I will only bring up one more time.
The Men In Black Alien Attack was SO. MUCH. FUN. The theming was excellent, and while I was unsure about whether or not anything related to this franchise would still hold up, it really and truly does. You enter a ride car that moves on a track, and you have a laser gun that you use to shoot aliens, which pop out from the animatronic scenery. It actually keeps your score! So fun! We would have probably done this again if we weren't getting hungry for lunch.
We took another ride on The Simpsons, and I loved it just as much as the first time. We had lunch in the big cafeteria, which is super organized. All of the tables are marked "reserved" because they control the line of people ordering food, and then show them to seats as they are available. We had Krusty Burgers, which are pretty much exactly as you would expect. They involve a cheese sauce that gets ladled on, and a scary steamed burger patty. While we were eating, there was a sudden downpour, but it only lasted about 20 minutes.
After it let up a bit, we ran over to the E.T. ride, which I was excited to see again. By the time we were through, the sun had come back out, and it got quite hot. We got in line for the Disaster Movie! show, which was so cute. Several people were plucked from the group to take part in the filming of a disaster film, directed by a fictional master of disaster films, played by a hologram of Christopher Walken. You get moved through several rooms, and taken through the filming process, which ends with you boarding a subway car, which records your reactions during a simulation of an earthquake. As you pull back to exit the ride, the movie trailer plays for you on a screen. It was fun, and would be a great ride for school-aged kids.
After choosing a few souvenirs for the kids (and maybe a couple of Ravenclaw patches for myself...), we exited the park and hung out on the City Walk for a while. Our treat for the day? We split a Cinnabon and an iced coffee. I thought that I missed Cinnabon, as we haven't had one near us in years and years, but as it turns out, I don't. I may have gotten the husband addicted to their Cinnabon-flavored iced coffee, however. We ended the day with a round of science-fiction themed mini golf, and dinner at the hotel. I was sad to leave the beautiful weather, but our mini vacation was just what I needed to recharge and prepare myself for the long slog to the spring. Thank you for being my most favorite traveling companion, dear husband. I can't wait for our next adventure.

If the mind is allowed to wander into uncharted territory, the unexpected will happen. This is what occurs when the work I believe to be my best takes form. The media can be mixed as the piece dictates. The possibilities are endless and each effort a learning process. I feel that a design background of 25 years helps in approaching the work with a freshness of idea backed by technical skill. I hope the joy experienced in it's creation will be shared by the viewer.

A CSS toolkit, written in LESS
Adaptabl is a small toolkit for writing CSS. It is not a framework like Bootstrap; the goals are decidedly different.
Adaptabl is simply a small library of mixins and variables, combined with normalize.css for cross-browser consistency. It has a strong emphasis on BIDI support (RTL languages).
There is not much to see here, but soon we'll add some links to sites built with Adaptabl.

Hi all,
I have a question for the community regarding the cloud extender that I hope will help myself and others. I am trying to gain a better understanding of the cloud extender and to what extend it is "required."
It is listed and described as optional, but in reading the documentation, it appears to be a requirement for some of the "cooler" functions of the MaaS platform.
I was wondering if someone could describe what elements of control/visibility exist without the cloud extender, and what elements of control/visibility exist with the cloud extender. For example, do i need to the cloud extender to enable wildcard usage (%username%) for auto-enrollment, or for certificate distribution, that sort of thing.
Thanks very much!
Hi Luke - here is some detail that I hope helps. The Cloud Extender has many integration points.
The most common integration points are with Exchange Active Sync Server, Lotus Traveler Server and Active Directory.
For Exchange Active Sync and Traveler, the Cloud Extender allows you to gain instant visibility into all of your existing devices. Customers find this helpful as often they are not aware how many devices are active synced to their mail environment. Also with Exchange Active Sync, we can enable our auto-quarantine functionality which would prevent any new devices from synchronizing without the admin knowing about it. We also will pull across your Active Sync policies for single management with your other iOS and Android policies. Lastly I would say our Business Intelligence reporting will provide you more detail than Exchange or Traveler can.
For Active Directory, this allows users to enroll from a common URL with their AD credentials instead of a unique passcode. You can use the %username% with or without the AD integration. Even without AD, you can still specific the corp username, email address and domain in the enrollment.
The Active Directory integration also allows the Cloud Extender to pull your AD groups and associated users to MaaS360 for group creation and pushing policies/apps/etc via that group.
We also integrate with MS SCEP and Symantec for certificate deployment to the devices. This allows for wireless, vpn and email profiles to be created and authentication used via the cert.
We also support LDAP integration for authentication and grouping as well as access to the Blackberry Enterprise Server.
Happy to talk further if you need additional information or want to discuss your environment and how we would best fit. Additional details can be found by product on our website as well at http://www.maas360.com/product.....anagement/.
I have an Exchange question about Cloud Extender. I have an Exchange server that also connects to an Exchange Edge. is this supported on the Cloud Extender? If so does the Cloud Extender needs to go on the Exchange Server or Edge?

A controversial Daniel Libeskind designed shopping and leisure centre in Switzerland has just welcomed its 1millionth visitor in just 50 days. Westside Shopping and Leisure Centre in Bern exceeded all expectations for attendance from its very first day when it welcomed 67,000 people through its doors.
Despite its obvious popularity with shoppers, however, the Polish-American creator has been slated for his design with one WAN reader stating: "I wonder how (Libeskind)can still be designing projects like this, capital, energy and materials wasteful, while, slowly but steadily, architecture turns 'green' in almost all developed world..." Another reader added, "We were really impressed by Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin which with it's painful juxaposition of incongruous shapes describes the horrendous history of pogroms and holocaust. When he transfers the same aesthetic to a shopping centre (sic) the once powerful symbolism as well as the respect for the architect is sadly broken."
Libeskind, however, describes the project in terms of progression. Stating at a press conference before the opening Libeskind said, "I think the 21st Century will create a completely new architecture for everyday life.
"We are used to that division between culture and commerce, but I think in the 21st century this division will be completely blurred, because what we've done here is to introduce a culture dimension to an everyday activity."

The report from seventeenth-century New England is not as good.
In the name of relevance (we guess), screenwriter Douglas Day Stewart and director Roland Joffe (The Mission) have trashed The Scarlet Letter. This ludicrous take on the Hawthorne classic dispenses brand spanking new messages on ecology (the forest primeval is a good thing), on WASP rectitude (a bad thing) and the natural rhythm of American Indians up in Massachusetts (a transcendent thing).
It also manages to ignore Hawthorne's timeless parable about adultery, guilt, sin and redemption. For all the attention Stewart and Joffe have paid to an American literary masterpiece, that big red "A" sewn to Hester Prynne's bodice may as well mean she's the new shortstop for the California Angels.
Need to hear the gruesome details? Two words. Demi Moore. That's right. Jayne Mansfield is dead, and Melanie Griffith is currently starring in a kindergarten vegetable play, so these moviemakers stuffed Demi Moore into a whalebone corset and told her to go for it. Hey, she's already seduced a dead husband's ghost and Michael Douglas, so what harm can a little roll in the hay with a country preacher do?
For a Puritan just off the boat from England, this Hester is pretty handy with an eyebrow pencil and a stick of mascara. But she doesn't stop there, and neither does the movie. She applies her charms to the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale (Gary Oldman) in the approximate manner of a streetwalker working Times Square, and when the nasty husband (Robert Duvall) shows up for a little vengeance, she lays some pretty heavy feminist rhetoric on him. When the church elders come around, she still refuses to snitch. But clearly, the seventeenth century isn't good enough for Joffe, and neither is Nathaniel Hawthorne: This Scarlet Letter sounds like the Oprah show.
It's hard to gauge what Oldman and Duvall, two pretty fair actors, thought of the ruinous proceedings on the set--or even the pilgrim hats they had to wear. But if you remember the look in cousin Wilfred's eye that time the IRS came after him, you get an idea of how they look for two hours.
Suffice it to say of Stewart's "rewrite"--a clear case of plot assassination--that Hester's illegitimate daughter, Pearl, is no longer a disturbing character in the Prynne family drama, that Dimmesdale neglects to die for love in the end, and that the movie has nothing whatever to do with the torments of the soul.
My favorite line in this all-time bomb is delivered by Dimmesdale, Hester's main squeeze and now a friend of the Indians: "I'd like you to meet my friend Running Moose," he says, as if they'd both just sidled up to a babe at the bar in Cheers.
And that, you can only surmise, is what these people mean when they say their film has been "freely adapted" from the original novel. Can't be long now before those "A Is for Adultery" T-shirts with Demi Moore's picture on 'em hit the shelves at Kmart.

Great selection of Murano glass jewelry. Love it!
Well, let me tell you… you guys rock!! Everything I have purchased from you guys is absolutely beautiful and to top it all, reasonable in price!! The fact that you guys have free shipping is also a plus for any customer. Not every vendor out there offers such "incentive"… trust me, just ask Ebay? :-) Oh, and your "SALES"…. OMG!! All I can say is that I have to hold back many times because I don't want to spend money, that I technically, don't have… nothing personal (obviously), but I'm sure you understand…Thank you again for being, in this case, not a "valued customer", but a "valued merchant"!!
Rapid shipping, great products for everyday wear or to dress up an outfit. Thanks for the great customer service as well.
Absolutely loved the filigree cross I purchased...easy came quick...have this website saved as one of my favorites!
Your merchandise looks incredible. It is just what I have been looking for. I hope that it looks just as good when delivered as it did online.
Lovely jewelry and very good prices!!
