Shmuel Kaplan, an 80-year-old amputee, breathed a sigh of relief in 1997 when the United States granted him political asylum after he fled antisemitism in the former Soviet Union. Two years later, we similarly received an Iranian boy, Rouzbeh Aliaghaei, and his parents. His mother was a high school teacher who had been imprisoned and twice fired for decrying the treatment of women and their lack of freedom. Nine-year-old Rouzbeh understood little about his family's flight — he is afflicted with a rare genetic disorder resulting in profound mental retardation.Read More
In early February 2006, just days after Hamas won the Palestinian elections, the Olmert government successfully negotiated with the Quartet (the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia) a framework for dealing with the Islamist movement. Any Hamas-led Palestinian government would have to fulfill three conditions before Israel and the international community would deal with it and renew transfer of aid and taxes: an end to violence, acceptance of previous agreements negotiated between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, and recognition of Israel (usually stated by Israel as recognition of its "right to exist").Read More
There is a Hasidic allegory in which a rebbe explains why the stork, known in Hebrew as the hasidah, is characterized as a non-kosher animal. At the outset of his homily, the rebbe observes that the stork is labeled the hasidah (the merciful one) because the kindness and compassion this animal displays for its own kind is unlimited. However, the rebbe goes on to point out that precisely because the stork reserves these traits only for its own, the stork must always be defined as treyf. He concludes that the Jew must always extend compassion and mercy to all.Read More
I've heard and read many speeches on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Those made by well-known, hostile critics of Israel always caused me great pain by their use of hyperbole, absurd analogy and falsehoods. But I was not prepared for a speech by an American secretary of state with those very attributes, such as the keynote address delivered last week by Condoleezza Rice to the gala dinner of the American Task Force on Palestine in Washington.Read More
Not too many years ago, corporal punishment of students by their teachers was common. A popular song recalled, "School days, school days. Golden rule and school days. Reading and writing and 'rithmetic, taught to the tune of the hickory stick." Since the 1970s, however, corporal punishment in any form has been outlawed in 28 states. In the remaining states, it is allowed but generally requires parental consent.Read More
Some people going through a reasonably civilized divorce confess to an unsettling fantasy. While they do not wish their partner ill, it would be nice if somehow that partner would just disappear. Cease to exist. Be utterly pulverized (albeit painlessly, to be sure). See the lightning storm up ahead? Maybe you'll get lucky and the next bolt will dispose of your burden. Presto.Read More

Since the start of the Hebrew month of Elul in late August, Jews have been examining the year past in search of lessons to apply to the year ahead. Now, as the holiday season winds to a close, the weekly cycle of Torah readings offers another opportunity to examine the past as we return to the study of the very beginning: Genesis and the story of creation. This year, modern science has something new to add.Read More
Heading into the home stretch of another bitterly fought national election, partisans on both sides aren't pulling any punches.

GeForce GTX 275 review | test -
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 reference board
You'll need two 6-pin power connectors. Typically at least one is located at your power supply. The more modern ones will have two. Board partners will also include one or two 6-pin to Molex power converters in the bundle. But remember, you do need to hook up both in order for the card to even work.
The GTX 200 series graphics cards have integrated HDMI support. Using a certified DVI-to-HDMI adapter in conjunction with the on-board S/PDIF audio connector, the GeForce GTX 275 is capable of full HDMI sound output via the DVI connector. However, you'll need to lead a 2-pin wire from your soundcard or motherboard S/PDIF connector to the 2-pin connector to the right.
When we flip the card around we see how extremely clean the PCB design is. That's always a good sign really. On the top right you can see SLI fingers/connectors. For NVIDIA 1+1=3. With two SLI fingers NVIDIA allows you to hook up and go for three-way SLI. That's a good threesome in this price segment.
Here we have the card kicking it live and raw in our test system. We'll be using a Core i7 based system, we'll tell you all about it in a minute though.
Oh and yes, in this article we'll take the new Radeon HD 4890 and GeForce GTX 275 head to head in a shootout. But let's have a look at installation and secondary tests like power consumption, heat and noise levels.

Recent St. Augustine Beach reviews
"We stayed during Jan.2015 and had a wonderful time. The balcony is wonderful for sitting in the sun. You can see the ocean from the balcony. The condo is a nice size to relax and not be on top of each other. The condo had everything we needed to cook. The master bedroom was large with a master bath."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 16, 2015View listing
"Sea Salt Sanctuary provided a wonderful, relaxing respite for our family. We so appreciated the house's amenities and beach gear. We enjoyed peaceful meals on the back porch, which set the tone for the days of our stay. The water is a brief walk from the house and beachside restaurants, and the old city of St. Augustine is a short drive away. We definitely hope to stay again!"Guest: K P.

"My parents, sister, husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Sharon's cottage. We arrived later in the evening and Sharon had the lights on to greet us. When we walked in, it instantly felt like home. It was very cozy and decorated in a shabby chic style and perfect for the 5 of us. We lucked out on Sunday with it being a nice sunny day. We made use of the grill, and the rooftop balcony. The cottage is close to historic St. Augustine but far enough away from the busyness of the town. What a nice little getaway!"Guest: Teresa V.

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Dancing Dolphin. We loved that access to the beach was directly across the street, and that we had the option to swim in the clubhouse pools as well as our own. The house was more than enough space for our two families."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 18, 2015View listing
St. Augustine Beach Travel Tips
Head out to St. Augustine Beach on Anastasia Island for your next vacation. The warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the cool ocean breezes are sure to keep you relaxed during your stay.
St. Augustine Beach Attractions
Water activities are the No. 1 thing to do while staying in St. Augustine Beach. Whether you prefer to lay out in the sun or venture out into the Atlantic Ocean, the beach is the best place to spend your day. There are white sand beaches and the St. Johns County Pier is along the water for those who want to enjoy a little fishing. When spending time on the beach, be sure to go for a swim, learn to boogie board or build a sand castle with the family.
Anastasia State Park and Recreation Area is comprised of 1,700 acres filled with sunny Florida fun. The park is a popular spot for wildlife enthusiasts and a protected bird sanctuary. When you visit the park and recreation area, you can swim, hike nature trails and fish. There are 2,000 acres where endangered species at Guana River State Beach roam. There are two public access areas to the 4.2 miles of undeveloped beach. Visitors can participate in a number of activities at the state park including fishing, shell-hunting, swimming, sunbathing and surfing.
Golf is plentiful in St. Augustine Beach and the surrounding area. Head to St. Johns Golf Club for an 18-hole championship course that's well-maintained and perfect for players of all skill levels. The Golf Club at South Hampton features 18 holes, a medium-length layout and six sets of tee boxes, so even the little ones can work on their swing or hit a ball. Other courses in the area include King and Bear Golf Course, Marsh Creek Country Club, The Palencia Club, Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club, St. Augustine Shores Golf Course and Slammer and Squire Golf Course. Since the weather is almost perfect year-round in St. Augustine Beach, you can hit the green every time you visit.
There are several types of tours offered in the St. Augustine area including Eco Tours, Flagler's Legacy Tours and Old City Water Excursions. The Flagler's Legacy Tour is one you don't want to miss as you make your way through the former Hotel Ponce de Leon. It was developed by millionaire Henry M. Flagler in 1887 and its Spanish Renaissance architecture has been captivating visitors for decades. Along the tour you'll get to stop in the dining hall where there are 79 Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows. The hotel's original grand parlor is now the Flagler Room and visitors will find Tiffany Austrian crystal chandeliers, an onyx Thomas Edison clock and a photo gallery of the Flagler family.
Things to Do
Shopping: In the heart of downtown St. Augustine there are specialty shops, boutiques and art galleries. The brick streets are populated with Spanish Colonial homes and the storefronts sell apparel, unique gifts, art, blown glass, pottery and custom crafted jewelry.

This block-long district is also the site where the Emancipation Proclamation was read in 1863 to free all of Florida's slaves. The Prince Murat House is one of the oldest surviving Colonial structures in the city. Prince Murat was the Crown Prince of Naples and after living in the home he moved to Tennessee where he married George Washington's great-grandniece Catherine Gray, who became the first American-born princess. Other homes in the Dow Museum of Historic Houses include the Spear House, the Howells House, the Rose House, the Carpenter's House, the Canova House, the Dow House and the Worcester House.

Mission of Nombre De Dios is located on the site where St. Augustine was founded in 1565. Memorial Presbyterian Church was built in the late 1800s and is the only structure to incorporate Venetian Renaissance architecture in the U.S. Henry Flagler commissioned the church to be built in memory of his daughter, Jennie Louise.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' voice Pasch in difficult spot
Most red-blooded American males would gladly trade professions with play-by-play broadcaster Dave Pasch.
On Sundays in the fall, Pasch describes all the action of Arizona Cardinals games.
On Saturdays, Pasch works for ESPN, along with commentators Chris Spielman and Urban Meyer, broadcasting one of the network's premier college football games.
This week, you probably wouldn't find too many volunteers to take Pasch's job.
Saturday, Pasch and company will be in State College, Pennsylvania to call the pivotal Penn State-Nebraska Big Ten tilt at Beaver Stadium. Of course, due to the recent uncovering of allegations of sexual abuse by former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, the firing of head coach Joe Paterno, university president Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley, the game has become secondary on the national radar.
As a broadcaster, Pasch is faced with the challenge of keeping the sordid mess that's unfolded at Penn State in balance with the actual description of the game.
When Pasch joined Doug and Wolf Thursday on Arizona Sports 620, Ron Wolfley asked him if this will be the most difficult broadcast he's ever done.
"I don't think there's any question, Wolf. Just looking at that Grand Jury report, knowing that I had to read it and really did not have a desire to read it. But you read it and it just makes you sick to your stomach," Pasch said.
Despite the disgusting nature of the situation, and the anticipated difficulty in the broadcast, Pasch remains pretty clear on what his crew's responsibilities will be while on the air on Saturday.
"Our goal as a team, and we've talked about this is we need to be fair to the game, and making sure that we document the game, because there are people that are watching for the game, but obviously first and foremost, being aware. Being aware of the allegations and the victims and the news�the developments of the week around Coach Paterno and just the developments on campus," he said.
And Pasch acknowledged that those developments could change at a moment's notice.
"What happens with (Penn State assistant) Mike McQueary. Where does he coach from, if he coaches at all? What does the Governor do if he steps in and does anything? Is there news from the NCAA? What if Coach Paterno shows up? What if there's a boycott? There's still so many things that can take place on game day, there's only so much you can prepare for."
You can check out the Penn State-Nebraska game this Saturday morning on ESPN. Kickoff is scheduled for just after 10:00 a.m.
And you can hear Pasch's call of the Cardinals-Eagles game along with Ron Wolfley on Arizona Sports 620. Kickoff is at 11:00 a.m.

The Vinotherapie® experts at Caudalie have come up with a lush eye cream that tackles all the main signs of aging: dehydration, fine lines, loss of elasticity and firmness, puffiness, and dark circles. This sophisticated formula alleviates all those issues with a potent blend of antioxidants, anti-aging ingredients, and natural hydrators. Plus, light-diffusing particles make the under eye area look immediately brighter.
This eye cream is the BOMB! It is like and creamy, goes on smooth and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling under the eyes. The skin under the eyes feel more hydrated and toned after just a week of use. I would love to own this product, but the cost is just to much for me to spend on just an eye toner.5
I love this eye cream. I have been wanting to try it since I read about it. It was my favorite part of the March box. The price is high so while I want to purchase it I may not be able to justify it but it is at the top of my wish list. It feels so nice on and after only a week I can see that my eyes are less puffy in the morning (I use it twice a day) and feel less dry.5

When Siddalee Walker, oldest daughter of Vivi Abbott Walker, Ya-Ya extraordinaire, is interviewed in the "New York Times" about a hit play she's directed, her mother gets described as a "tap-dancing child abuser." Enraged, Vivi disowns Sidda. Devastated, Sidda begs forgiveness, and postpones her upcoming wedding. All looks bleak until the Ya-Yas step in and convince Vivi to send Sidda a scrapbook of their girlhood mementos, called "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." As Sidda struggles to analyze her mother, she comes face to face with the tangled beauty of imperfect love, and the fact that forgiveness, more than understanding, is often what the heart longs for.
"Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" may call to mind "Prince of Tides" in its unearthing of family darkness; in its unforgettable heroines and irrepressible humor and female loyalty, it echoes Fannie Flagg's "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.

Rapid progress being made with Iran
HYDERABAD: Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar has said that access to Iranian gas is a critical component for eradication of poverty and hopes that the U.S. will be "sensitive to our energy requirements."
Speaking to reporters after the NGRI and Director-General Hydrocarbons signed a MoU for four projects, Mr. Aiyar said work on the India-Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project was progressing fast. India was aware of "American concerns," he said pointing out that oil and gas met 45 per cent of the country's energy requirements and the same situation would prevail even after 20 years. If the pipeline project was turned off, there would be no hope of securing the energy needed to fuel a seven to eight per cent GDP growth rate.
The Minister said there were two dimensions to the project; one to have discussions in the bilateral mode between India and Pakistan and Iran and India and the second, not to get involved in the project but negotiate with Iran to purchase gas at the border. With officials pointing to the advantage of getting involved in the project and the need to move into trilateral mode, he said he would place both issues before the Cabinet.
On purchasing gas at the border, Mr. Aiyar said technical and financial consultants were appointed and legal consultants would also be appointed. All the three firms were international and fears that they would not get involved due to the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act were not quite true, he said. Mr. Aiyar said his Pakistani counterpart had confirmed his visit to India on February 18 or 19 and progress was being made with Iran.
Earlier, he urged NGRI scientists to develop methods for tapping resources that would meet future energy needs adding "it is for the NGRI to open the key to get under Deccan traps." India could become a Saudi Arabia if a proper estimation of gas hydrates was made.

Black Is Beautiful But This Film Is Ugly,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Coonskin (DVD)
It's with little irony that "Song of the South" hasn't been available for public viewing in this country since 1986 yet this travesty is. Animator Ralph Bakshi cut his teeth with Paul Terry and Terrytoons but gained personal fame with commercial animated porn i.e. "Fritz the Cat". In a word this film is an abomination. It's a visual and aural assault to the senses. The images are ugly to the extreme and the narrative is incoherent. It purports to be a modern response to Joel Chandler Harris and Walt Disney but only reinforces what consummate artists those gentlemen were. The Seventies were a watershed time for African-Americans in cinema. This film makes a mockery of the positive inroads that Blacks made in the medium. There is a distinction between blaxploitation and exploitation and this garbage falls in the latter category.

Go check your facts, partner. Fritz The Cat, might of had his name attached to it, but he didn't make that film. Bakshi was actually disgusted w/ how the film came out. I give this dvd 5 stars, on the fact that when this came out, nobody was pushin the envelope like R. Bakshi. The images are bright and beautiful, it's just a shame, your unable too see this for what it is, and thats a Movie. A cartoon movie at that. You have your opinion, and I have mine.

Actually it was Robert Crumb who hated Fritz. Ralph thought it was fine.

FRITZ THE CAT IS NOT PORN! It's a comedy, and it's very tame in regard to sex. There's more offensive portrayals of sex in 'The Simpsons' and 'Harold and Kumar'.

J. herrin says:
To David:
Arghh, where to start? First off, as others have mentioned, Fritz the Cat is FAR from porn. I'm guessing that you have either A) never seen Fritz The Cat, or B) never seen porn. Fritz received the X rating because it was a cartoon with drug humor & some sexually suggestive material. Even the so-called "orgy" scene in the bathtub is tame & was nothing more than a set-up for a punchline, as opposed to anything remotely graphic. Please also keep in mind that an X rating in the 1970s meant "no one under 16 years of age admitted", which means that the current NC-17 rating that some films receive is actually a stricter rating than X was. Second, movies like A Clockwork Orange & even Midnight Cowboy were X-rated in the 70s. Both of those have been re-rated. Fritz too has been dropped down to an R now, which is very far from being a porno last time I checked. I have literally seen racier PG-13 movies. If Fritz were released today, it may not even get an R.
As for Coonskin, I am sorry to hear that your perception of the film meant that the film was exploitative, especially considering how many people ended up standing behind the film when it was released, after the "controversial" opening that was protested by a handful of people who hadn't even seen the film. Even the NAACP, as well as many black stars of the time such as Richard Pryor, Barry White, Sidney Poirtier & others stood up for the film as being the opposite of the "exploitative garbage" that you claim it to be. There is a whole generation of actors & rappers who cite the film as one of the most important influences for their work today as well.
I see the film as an extension of the themes in Song Of The South, as did Bakshi. I have even spoken with him directly about what his intention was, & told him how I perceived the film, which jived 100% with what his vision was. Yes, the images are "ugly" as you pointed out, but so was the reality of the times it was made during. The film was meant to provoke; to make the viewer uncomfortable so they were forced to confront the images shown instead of just mindlessly passing time. Movies may be entertainment first to most people, but some times they have greater importance as well. As a child of the 70s, I saw the bubbling racial tension first-hand, & I personally believe that Coonskin was a positive step in making people confront their own inherent prejudices, breaking down walls, opening the dialogue up between people, & in the end making them see just how like each other we all are. Most people have the same general goals in life, want the same freedoms that everyone else is entitled to, & would like to be treated as equals. Coonskin empowered those who didn't have a voice or were oppressed, flipped the script, & made THEM the masters of their own destinies, despite what "society" said about them at the time. If Harris & Disney were gentlemen, then Bakshi was the foul mouthed heel that screamed his message from the top of the highest buildings, & I for one heard it loud & clear. My only hope is that you re-evaluate the movie & try to see it from a different perspective. To me it is just as important & relevant today as it was when it was released. The only "travesty" is that it has taken this long for the film to finally receive a proper release.

Seymour Gams says:
Umm Crumb didn't like the film... unless you are talking about Fritz the Cat 2 because Bakshi had nothing to do with that film.

We won't have to wait until September 2014 to see season 5 (12 episodes) of Engrenages. Indeed, the writers started writing this new season in March, during the filming of season 4 (which ended last June).
Anne Landois (on the right on the photo below, next to Brannon Braga and Caroline Proust), head writer of seasons 3 & 4, will still be in charge of defining the major plotlines and arcs for this upcoming season centered on informants, with a background story inspired by the Neyret affair (a top commissioner at the judicial police who gave information to notorious international drug dealers). That's all we know — I assume Laure and her team have a snitch allowing them to find out about an influential figure dealing with gangsters.
And last month, Anne Landois declared to Le Nouvel Observateur that "we had received a special request from the channel, telling us to speed up the writing process", in order to film season 5 before 2014, so that there's no 2-year gap between seasons this time — it was even 27 months between season 3 (May 3-June 7, 2010) and season 4 (September 3-October 8, 2012).
She also hinted that this time, "we decided to have a story that would regroup all our characters around a single case, on the opposite of season 4 during which they were mostly following personal storylines".
However, she will have to write season 5 without Eric de Barahir. "De Barahir" is an alias, this man is actually working as a police commissioner while being a consultant (season 2) and a writer (seasons 3 & 4) on the show. But he wanted to go back on the field so he won't be involved with season 5. However, there are still many consultants (helping, not writing scripts) : 2 judges, 2 lawyers and 3 cops. And Simon Jabonka, writer of season 2 of Flics (the other Olivier Marchal series besides Braquo), who co-wrote episodes 3.09 to 3.12 of Engrenages, will work at full time on season 5.
With this will of Canal+ to accelerate the production process with the writing starting during the shooting of the previous season + a note telling the writers to speed up, perhaps season 5 will bow early 2014.
As a reminder, the first three seasons (28 episodes) of Engrenages (AKA Spiral) are available on Netflix (French with English subtitles), and season 4 (12 episodes) is coming up soon, I'm sure.
Engrenages (Spiral) - Season 5 will be filmed in 2013

American and Delta Say Sayonara to Duty-Free, and That's a Good Thing
In-flight duty-free is nearly dunzo.
At some point last week, American Airlines unceremoniously ended in-flight sales of duty-free items, removing the sticky catalogs from seatback pockets, shutting down the duty-free website, and canceling that time when, in the calm middle of the flight, flight attendants ask if you'd like to spend $75 on a run-of-the-mill bottle of scotch.
While the reason for the cancellation isn't clearfrequent flyers around the internet have rumored that it's a contractual disagreementwe do know that American isn't the first to put the products back on the shelf. In August of last year, Delta did the exact same thing, quietly calling it quits on their in-flight duty-free.
We've gotten over the shock after the Delta news, and realize it's not such a huge issue since airports and other international airlines aren't giving up their own duty-free.

It's the Final Countdown for US Airways Frequent Flyer Miles
US Airways' Twitter is done.
US Airways' 767-200s have finished flying.
And planes painted in US Airways' flag livery are taking turns in the paint shop, emerging with AA's shiny #newAmerican stripes.
Next up on the laundry list of to-dos before the merger completes is to close up US Airways' frequent flyer program, Dividend Miles. Think of it as "spring cleaning" for AA, as the process is in full swing right now.

American Airlines Refused to Refund Grieving Family's Tickets, Guess What Happened Next?
File this one under "what the hell were they thinking?"
American Airlines got a request from a an Illinois family whose young daughter had died. Understandably, they were too crushed to take the vacation they had all planned to take together, and they were hoping to get their airline tickets refunded. This matter should have been handled immediately, quietly, and in its entirety.
So of course that's not at all what happened. Instead, the airline sent an apologetic note, expressing their sorrow for the death of the girl but firmly explaining that the tickets were non-refundable. Mom shared her story on her Facebook page, and from there nature took its course.
An online rage mob formed (kind of appropriately, in this case) and on Tuesday American ended up providing the refunds.
Quote unquote "We fully refunded [her] ticket last night and apologized to [the family] for not doing so immediately when she first contacted us." No kidding.

And Just Like That, US Airways Tweets Its Final Tweet
Let us bow our heads and take a moment to remember the life of the US Airways twitter account which, over the weekend, tweeted its final tweet.

So, what does this mean for travelers?

What to Look For When Booking on American Airlines' New Boeing 787 Dreamliner
As promised, American Airlines worked through this long weekend to open up booking for the first flights of their brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and there's good news and bad news.
The good news is that both inauguralsbetween Dallas-DFW and Chicago-ORD on May 7still have some seat availability.
The bad news is that those seats won't come cheap; American is managing demand by making the 787-operated flights that day the most expensive, from nearly $500-$600 each way when the other flights (mostly operated by MD-80s) are $109. It's a 2.5-hour flight, which is a challengingly short period of time to enjoy such a festive flight and still push all the buttons and flip all the switches on the new in-flight entertainment, new seats, and new...well...everything else (auto-closing toilet lids!).

How Much Longer Does US Airways Have Before It's No More?
Way, way back in 2010, a Jaunted writer asked the question, as part of a rant, "US Airways, do they still even exist?"
Five years later and we can only answer that with "well, kinda."
The airline known as US Airways continues to merge with American Airlines and flew its final 767-200 revenue flight yesterday, from Philadelphia to Charlotte. This is but the first of many lasts for US Airways, and indeed we've already seen US Airways planes fully painted in the #newAmerican colors out on the tarmac.

Finally! American Airlines Reveals 787 Dreamliner Launch Dates, Routes, Interior
Forget Valentine's Day. February 14, for frequent flyers, has a new meaning this year thanks to a big announcement today from American Airlines. This Saturday, a date typically reserved for boxes of chocolates and flower bouquets, will be the day reservations open for domestic and international flights on AA's brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Waitthat's not all.
Along with the tease to get your credit cards ready for this Saturday's ticket rush, American Airlines also granted the first peek inside the plane, posting three photos each of Business Class and Economy Class to their social media networks.
Still more.

Every Day is #ThrowbackThursday for American Airlines' New Amenity Kits
If you've visited the official American Airlines Facebook page or actually opened your AAdvantage statement email anytime in the last month, you may have noticed a hashtag popping up here and there. It's #goingforgreat, and it represents the airline's plan to spend $2 billion towards improving the passenger experience.
Today arrived one of the more fun bits of news surrounding #goingforgreat; American is re-designing and re-packing their amenity kits!

Everyone Chime In Now: Who Has The Best Long-Haul Business Class?
British Airways Club World
Let's not beat about the bush: if you're flying long-haul, business class is best. In fact, once you've turned left on a plane, and tasted that delicious champagne and that (hopefully) flat bed, it will take nerves of steel to cross an ocean in any other way.
But not all business classes are created equal. Some are worth that premium price; others less so. Some are best for working; others for sleeping; and others for simply feeling glam (as you'll see below, it's a very personal choice). So because, much as we'd like to, we can't all afford biz all of the time, we asked the frequent flyers of Jaunted (plus an extremely knowledgeable friend) two questions: which business class is your favorite, and which would you not bother with? Because, if you're going to splurge, it'd be a shame to land up with a dud, right? #firstworldproblemsalltheway

What's So Special About Today's American Airlines 787 Landing at DFW
TGIF! Not only is Friday the best of the week because it means the weekend is here, but this Friday in particular ranks highly as it marks the day American Airlines flies their first Boeing 787 Dreamliner (of the 42 they have on order) home to Dallas.
The aircraftgleaming in the "New American" striped livery flew earlier this morning from Boeing's factory in Everett, WA , slicing the skies with its raked, carbon fiber wings before a scheduled 4:21pm landing time at American's HQ at Dallas-Ft Worth DFW. The airline signed the final documents and symbolically took the key for the plane from Boeing just yesterday, but don't expect to be able to book a ticket on it until this spring at the earliest.
The details of the arrival, according to Dallas News:

5 Reasons To Give Airlines a Celebration Emoji This Week
In the spirit of New Years' Resolutions, we're choosing to be filled with love and light when it comes to airlines. So instead of focusing on the terrible TSA theater, the crappy meals served in-flight, the nickel-and-diming onboard, the exasperated attitudes at the gate or the rampant idiocy in the baggage claim, we're focusing on airlines and flight attendants doing it right. No, we don't anticipate this lasting all year but we'll try to last a month.

Surprisingly Yummy Airline Meals: American's Airlines Unique Take on French Toast
We have all had a terrible meal on a flight before. In fact, we have shown you some of the sadder trays slid in front of us. With this new series of amazing airline meals, we can revel in the airline culinary delights and give kudos to the airlines that got it right.
Domestically, we were on an American Airlines in first class out of Chicago O'Hare to Fort Lauderdale and scored an awesome egg-less alternative to breakfast-- French toast strata with warmed peach compote. (Unless you're lucky enough to fly on Singapore Airlines in the premium seats, always steer clear of egg dishes.)

eimea....Funny you should be here...Aztec Cobalt.
About 2 weeks ago I was searching this forum for 'Aztec Cobalt' pool tile as it's one of the tiles we're considering and I was hoping to find some pics.
I came across one of your posts from 2005 or 6 and saw that you have it. The pictures you posted didn't highlight the tile much but I figured it was a slim chance that you'd answer a post as you were probably long gone.
Anyhow, do you have any other pics of your pool you can post? Are you still happy with your choice? Is it hard to keep clean? What grout color did you use and what type of plaster. QUESTIONS!!!
AHHHHH! I am so sorry that I did not reply back in March! I was so heavily involved in the forum during our build for for about a year after but rarely come back.
Tonight I did come back looking for an old pic I posted to show my husband and I saw your post. I also read that you went with NPT Silverstone Ocean for your tile so I am going to assume you made a decision.
I saw your choice online and it is beautiful! I love the silvery look to it. Our yard is very natural with redwood trees and a lot of shade so our choice worked out perfect for us too.
In case you still wanted the info...we used a gray grout and we are still very pleased with it. We have Ocean Blue Pebble Sheen, gosh, I think that was the name. As I type it now I'm not sure, but I think that was it.
We love everything about our pool -- especially the infloor cleaning system we splurged on.
I hope your build went well!

Rated 4 out of 5 by OldCarPerson Recommendations I have been using you hotel with the Antique Auto Club for many years. May I say that I was very disappointed to see the main lobby clock missing this year. It was like an old friend had passed away. I can understand change, but being older I will never like it. In any case, may I suggest a large city mural on the "clock wall" area as a replacement, as I realize you are modernizing anyway. The only other problem that I had was a room employee ignoring my "do not disturb" sign. I carry valuable electronic equipment with me and do not want room service. Thank you February 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by dandeb2013 Service as it should be every aspect of this visit was outstanding. From the phone reservation to checkout. the staff was great and the facilities were wonderful. We were able to enjoy our stay and have Sheraton handle any questions. Just a note. If you use Mapquest for directions, its a Right onto Race St off Second Ave, not a left. February 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bcup1022 Comfy overnight stay This hotel is a comfy place for an overnight stay. Philips Seafood house, as well as room service offer great food choices; location is convenient to center city attractions & located across from a $5 overnight parking garage if you want to skip valet parking service. Room was clean, great flat screen tv. We have stayed here twice, & my only complaint is the noise level in the hallway gets a bit loud, but overall did not disturb my stay. February 11, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by BlackCloud Not making that mistake again Stayed here for business on a one-night stay. Checked-in around noon and told no rooms were available and they'd call me when one opened up. Okay. No call. Around 10pm I returned to the hotel after a day of meetings and a client dinner and checked-in again. No Platinum amenity. Only room left was a handicap accessible room next to the elevator bank. Great. Thanks. After having the keys recoded twice finally got in the room to find refuse from the previous guest on the floor. There's also apparently mold or mildew in the walls as my allergies started acting up a few minutes later. No tissue box. Lovely. I called down to the front desk to see if I could move rooms. Was told no, the hotel is full. They didn't even question why I was asking to move. It was late so I just dealt with the dirty room. The next morning at 8:30am, while I was packing, an engineer knocked on the door to check the internet connection. I said I was packing and would be out in 10 minutes and he said "no problem. I'll work around you" and proceeded to come into the room to fiddle with the ethernet connection. At check-out the next morning I commented that the room was dirty from the prior guest. The front desk associate smiled and told me to have a safe trip. From check-in to check-out everything about this Sheraton is unacceptable. February 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by LB94 Sheraton Philly I checked in at 10 pm. I was hoping to get settled relax go to sleep and get up early and head off to my meetings. when I checked in the Remote didn't work. I called down asked for a new remote. then I flushed the toilet after just putting a tissue in it - and it flooded and flooded over the edge. I called down at about 10:20. after 30 min - I called down again to cancel anyone coming up because I needed to get to sleep. so I wasn't able to watch Tv or the news in the morning. I didn't have a working toilet at night or in the morning. and I didn't get upgraded - while I knew there were nicer rooms available. I even called Platinum concierge after I checked in to see if I could book a nicer room - and they said there were nicer rooms available. Sheraton should remove their name from this hotel. Old dark and dirty. I'm pretty sure the beds are not sweet sleeper - but at this point - that is the least of the concerns. February 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeepNorth Exemplary Staff I just want to note that the concerige at the Sheraton Downtown Philadelphia went above and beyond my expectations.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Smith88 I understand why this is called the "Sceraton" Not only are the rooms in need of a serious face lift, but I and my coworkers always have issues with room cleanliness. I always find foreign hairs nestled between the sheets and the comforters. Coworkers have found hair, food, and bodily fluid on various stays. My sheets were never changed, though I called guest services and specifically requested it. I know some places are 'going green' and so they only do it if requested, but even that didn't work. They should make available a card to place on your bed for fresh linens. February 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by OnTheRoad Good Location ....... But Near my meeting location, but my room was below average: stained carpet, missing desk lamp, missing closet doors, half the water did not make it thru the shower head due to leaks from the tub spout and shower head adjustment knob.

Our room was clean, had an excellent view of the city, and was more than comfortable. The location of the hotel is also fantastic. We had a short walk to The Franklin Institute, where we spent most of the day. We also had a fabulous dinner at Phillips on the property. The only problem we encountered was that the pool was too hot to take our child swimming. January 22, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by PissedoffCustomer777 Horrible Service and Knowledge I've stayed once at the Sheraton, just this past weekend, and I will never go back to any Sheraton or any hotel in conjunction with the Sheraton again. I had a horrible time from the 40$ overnight parking, to a unsatisfactory check in, to even worse check out. Upon check in, the man at the counter took 10 minutes trying to explain why there needed to be another credit card on file for 50$ room charge that would be refunded in 5 days for incidentals, then upon check out the next day, when we paid CASH for everything, my credit card was not charged 50$ for incidentals, it was charged the entire room fee of $140, after we had paid cash. Worst of all, only getting in contact with a machine when trying to get my questions answered really set me over the edge, I will NEVER be staying at this hotel again in my life. January 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by coldmother NO HOT WATER IN THE MORNING! Went to shower on a sunday morning. Had an appointment at 11am.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bibliopen Room 2234 - 01/11/2013 thru 01/13/2013 3rd time at this hotel. Very pleased previously. This time there were some issues. 2 lamps in the room did not work, go on. Called and waited 75 minutes for the "engineer" to show up. Changed one light bulb and ordered another lamp for the second non-functioning unit. Why didn't the previous occupants report this. In addition, the rug between the 2 beds was well worn and "bunched" up in several areas. A definite tripping hazard. Outside the room all was the usual 5 star service. January 14, 2013

Weight loss often comes to mind when someone is diagnosed with cancer. But weight gain is often the problem for women being treated for breast cancer.
Can weight gain that comes from treatment really cause a problem? Experts say yes. In fact, keeping your weight in check may be a matter of life and death.
Some facts about weight and breast cancer
Studies show that obesity raises a woman's risk for breast cancer. And women who are obese when they are diagnosed have a greater risk of dying from breast cancer. They also are at a greater risk of the cancer coming back and of developing other chronic conditions.
More surprising, though, is that many women gain weight during treatment. Research shows that as many as 50 to 96 percent of women have significant weight gain as well as changes in body composition during treatment. Studies also show continued weight gain for many women in the months and years after diagnosis.
Several factors have been linked with increased weight and changes in body composition:
- Chemotherapy. Weight gain seems to be more common in women who are treated with chemotherapy than in those treated with surgery or radiation. Also, the longer the treatment, the more weight that is gained, both during and after treatment.
- Menopause status. Women who are premenopausal when they are diagnosed tend to gain significantly more weight than women who are postmenopausal when diagnosed. Chemo may cause some women to go into early menopause. This can cause increased fat accumulation. It can also cause changes in how the fat is distributed and a decrease in lean body mass.
- Decreased physical activity, muscle loss, and poor diet. These are also factors that may contribute to weight gain.
Dangers of weight gain
Most women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer now have a good chance of recovering. But more studies are needed to confirm whether weight gain during treatment raises their risk of relapse.
Sadly, though, weight gain during treatment has been shown to raise the risk of obesity-related disorders. These include diabetes, heart disease, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, and high blood pressure.
Even without weight gain, many women undergoing treatment experience changes in body composition. Most common is a significant decrease in muscle and an increase in body fat. This change can have an impact on their risk for developing other chronic conditions. It may also have a role in eventual relapse.
Weight gain or body composition changes may also cause:
- Increases in oestrogen, a type of estrogen thought to promote breast cancer cells
- Additional loss of self-esteem and further altered self-image
- Anxiety concerning appearance
- Reduced quality of life
Lifestyle changes that can help prevent weight gain
Attention to healthy eating habits and exercise can help women undergoing treatment keep their weight down. Because of this, more doctors are suggesting eating and exercise programs for their patients with breast cancer.
The exercise factor
Increasing physical activity is one of the most important ways to prevent excess weight gain. This is especially true for women undergoing chemotherapy. Women receiving chemo have the highest risk of weight gain during and after treatment.
- Studies show that women who exercise during treatment have better outcomes than women who don't. This holds true for every type of breast cancer therapy.
- One study of 3,000 breast cancer patients found that women who walked just 1 or more hours per week had better survival rates than those who exercised less than that or not at all.
- Typically, women are encouraged to exercise between 3 and 5 hours a week for the maximum benefits.
- Strength training is encouraged to help prevent the decrease in bone density that certain types of chemotherapy cause. One study found that women who took part in weekly aerobic exercise while using weights lost nearly 6 percent less bone density than those who did no aerobic exercise.
- Exercise can also help reduce fatigue and increase self-esteem.
A nutritious diet
There is no specific diet that has been proven to help with weight loss or maintaining weight. An overall nutritious meal plan, with limited amounts of sugar and processed foods, is encouraged. Experts generally recommend:
- Eating 4 to 5 cups of colorful vegetables and fruits each day
- Including in your diet high-fiber foods, such as fruits and vegetables, beans, and whole grains such as barley, quinoa, brown rice, and 100 percent whole-wheat breads and pastas
- Consuming healthful fats such as cold-water fish, avocados, and a variety of nuts
- Limiting sugary foods and foods high in saturated and trans fats
