They also seem to be flying pretty close to the law. I have noticed on several occasions that even when the price of a flight is given in euros, Ryanair deduct the amount from your debit/credit card in pounds sterling at a very unfavourable rate (1.32 as 1.393, the exchange rate elsewhere, on a recent occasion.) And since the Ryanair'currency converter' [hidden away in the small print] never seems to work – deliberate one wonders?- you have no idea what you are eventually going to be billed for. I have recently reported this to Trading Standards who confirmed that this illegal and are followng it up. I urge others to do likewise or vote with their feet and not use Mr O'Leary's polluting, unreliable and moneygrubbing airline.

Ryanair is a very dangerous airline. They have infringed air traffic control requirements over 18000 times alone this year as far as concerns horizontal and vertical separation of aircraft in the ongested airspace in and around London doing this so as to get their aircraft on the ground as soon as possible, turnaround as soon as possible and fly off again as soon as possible.
Thank god I am not alone. Avoided flying with Crapair for 2 years until work booked me on a flight. Priority booking my arse – rugby scrum more like. Grumpy unhelpful cabin staff, no leg room, god awful yellow seats – flying mcdonalds and pass on the coffee – YUK- Walked the last 5 miles having deceded a virtual ladder in Dublin Airport or should I say when the plane landed near the airport – take my advise..fly BMI or Aer Lingus
We have recently returned to Stansted from Seville. We were very careful on the way over there to keep within the ridiculously low 15kg baggage limit, but having bought a few gifts for friends, my partner found he was 1.5kg over on our return check-in. Having planned for this eventuality, he had packed part of his luggage in the front section of his luggage, which simply unzips from the main bag to form a separate bag suitable for carry-on hand luggage. However, as he began to unzip the bag, he was told to go to the end of the queue to avoid holding up other passengers. As the bag had been separated before these words were even out of the mouth of the check-in attendant, we protested that we hadn't held anyone up. It had taken less than a minute to separate the bags and no repacking was involved. Despite this, and the fact that the other members in our party checking in together were all within the limit, we were forced to return to the end of the queue. The check-in attendant would not listen to reason and threatened us with airport security.
It would appear that there was no way they would let us get away with cheating them of their excess baggage fee AND keeping our dignity! As a consequence, the priority boarding we had paid for was useless as it took so long to get through to board that most other passengers had already boarded.
Once on the plane we were deafened by the almost continuous advertising, backed by a synthesised recording of Chopsticks which should be classed as torture.
I must say, however, that the inflight staff were courteous and reasonably efficient, given the awful conditions they have to work in – my sympathy goes out to you!
I will NEVER, EVER fly with these money-sucking scum again.
They had us waiting for 4 hours in Baden sometime last year. When we asked one of the cabin crew if she had more details on when the plane would be fixed (there was a leak in the tank…) she replied: "I don't know. I'm as bored as you and I don't get paid to wait here". Errrm, that was not the question.
More recently, I was about to book a flight after comparing with Air France and BA and the ticket was cheaper by $60. However, what I did not know is that there is now a steep £24 fee to check in one piece of luggage, jumping to a horrendous $58 for 2 pieces of luggage.
That is a sneaky practice that customers are not advised of prior to booking. For that reason, I decided NOT to book with Ryanair and choose to fly with a more reputable airline, although the ticket was indeed more expensive in the end. I refuse to give more money to incompetent companies like Ryanair that offer appalling service anyway.
Having come back from Ireland on Sunday (eventually), I am currently in need of some psychological assistance and stress therapy. I was due to fly at 13h45 to Gatwick (60min flight), but actually landed at 22h15. Was there a grovveling apology? was there an offer of a complimentary drink? was there an offer of some food to keep my energy levels up during this trying time? – NO! THERE BLOOMING WASN'T.
To make matters worse, myself and some fellow passengers missed our first flight due to an unannounced gate change and were left stranded in Dublin. When asking for assistance, we were informed that the failure to change to boards to display the new gate was the Airport Authority's responsibility and nothing to do with Ryanair(Customer care? – part 1).
When then I requested "how can you help me?" I was escorted to the arrivals hall and left to my own devices, being informed to make my way through security/passport control and go to Ryanair ticket office (Customer Care? – Part 2).
After fighting through the Qs. I eventually get to speak to a Ryanair ticket 'operative'. I explain in great detail my predicament and advising that I have two small children who I would like to get home to see. The next flight for Gatwock was due to leave at 15h45, but was delayed. I asked could I get a ticket for this flight and was abruptly told No!, "cause it's less than an hour to flight time..chew.(gum).chew!". OK..started to get a bit annoyed now. (Customer Care? – Part 3)
"I can get yis on a flight at 18h55..chew (gum)..chew!". Ok! Alright! you win, I'll be too late to see my children, but just please get me home. – then the 'kicker'!! – "that'll be 227 euros please! chew(gum)chew!"
…..WHAT!!! (Customer Care? – Part 4)
Of course I buy the ticket, much to my shame and embarrassment that I didn't have the ability to stand up and be counted in the 'war against tyranny'.
Back down the 3 mile hike to Ryanair's landing/taking off spot (through the hefty security checks that we have become accustomed to these days).
To cut an already long story short, after 4 more gate changes (I felt like a contestant on a BBC dancing competition) and a further 2hr 15min delay…we eventually touched down in Gatwick.
Conclusion: I will make it my life's work to ensure that none of my friends or family EVER use Mr O'Leary's service again.
What a great site!! I also hate ryan air – I recently had the unfortunate experience of flying with them from Dublin to Rome. Wel all you wanted was 5 minutes peace and they wouldn't even given you that…. first of all came out the crappy food at extorinate prices, then came out the duty free, then scratchcards, then the travel cards, then we had the phone cards and then as if we hadn't had enough cheap selling back came the food!! Have they forgotten that they are supposed to be an airline. With the constant selling and internal advertising stuck all over the inside of the plane – they are just so tacky.
As for the comment on this site from a senior cabin crew member (apparently) – just what I expected. Thank goodness Ireland still has good old Aer Lingus !!! -
I find Ryanair completely and utterly repulsive, and feel like I am descending the circles of hell whenever I find myself dealing with them. Although I am being unfair to hell. It shocks me that someone could push a business model so lacking in moral scruples, and to see it become so successful.
I have a number of issues with Ryanair. The first is the dog-eat-dog attitude that arises at boarding. In the past families with young children, the elderly and those needing special assistance were — rightly — given preference at boarding. It's the least you would expect in a civilised society. I was stunned when I returned to the UK after a number of years overseas to see that this had gone out the window. Instead we have the farce of priority boarding and the small scale riot to get to the front of the queue. One could argue that we can make a decision as to how we queue, allow those with special needs (i.e. elderly, special assistance, families with young children) to be given priority, etc… but it is beyond me why Ryanair do not do this as policy. Actually, I think it's clear why they not to do this as policy… which is related to the second issue.
The utter contempt that they treat you with. You are a walking wallet. E20 charge to pay with visa? E30 to bring a bag? The ploy to advertise cheap fares when all of the extras are excessive is deeply cynical and you naturally feel fleeced. How long before they start charging for oxygen? A toll to climb the steps to the aircraft?
The third issue concerns the lack of choice. I'd much prefer to take the bus/train and boat but in general that is not feasible (e.g. when I am traveling with my wife and young children). Ryanair are often the only option. We have lived in places where other carriers have flown the same route, but within months of Ryanair coming in, the other carrier stops flying the route. Even if the times were less convenient, and they flew less frequently, and they were more expensive, the other carrier would invariably be better than Ryanair. You felt like you had an option.
Of course, you like to feel that have a choice, and that you don't have to fly with them… but there are circumstances when you have to fly (when time is of the essence).
Fortunately I don't have to travel so much anymore and it's normally possible to take the train when I have to, but recently I've flown with Ryanair again and I think that was the straw the broke the camel's back. If we go and see granny and grandad now, we will take the ferry — it will be an adventure and fun, and I won't feel dirty and in need of a shower. -
oh my word I am SO pleased this site exists. I am just back from flying with this dreadful airline Dublin to Brussels. I swore before we booked the flight that I actually wouldn't fly ever ever again because of earlier terrible experiences, but we thought we;d give it another go. Oh man it was so hideous. I was flying alone with a 3 and 4 yr old. Why doesn't ryanair just advertise itself as the airline that is for people with no baggage or children. I too was caught out on the 1 bag 15 kg thing, by 1.5 kg!!! I had to repack our bag with my 2 small children standing watching – humiliation!! I honestly wouldn't mind if the staff just were not SO unpleasant and rude.
And there are no sick bags!! and no seat pockets. My children made a right mess of the floor as no one came to get the rubbish and there was nowhere else for it to go. The staff on the way out were extremely rude, on the way back slightly better. I didn't have priority boarding and had no idea what I would do if we didn't all get a seat together – just allocate seats and they would instantly take away most of peoples' complaints.
I have flown flybe quite a bit to and from London and they were really excellent (most of the time) friendly, chatty, helpful, professional.
I will never ever be flying with ryanair again. I am so glad you have set this blog up. I was going to if I couldn't find something like it.
Thank you – lets get publicising it!!! -
I hope you people are feeling better after writting this, but I can assure you: those things what you are saying does not matter! As the benefits of flying with Ryanair are beyond question and complains of people which cannot find themselfs in different situations (f.ex cannot check the weight of the luggage) are simply unnoticed.
Thats psychology: a person wchich is happy with the service is going to tell just 2-4 people. Person wchich is unhappy will be telling everyone and even will create a web site.
There are milions of happy Ryanair pasengers (content from various reasons: cheap flight, cloce to airport, amount of destinations).
Hi Mr Krupex,
Thanks for your posts.
I don't doubt that there are millions of happy customers. That's not however the point of this website. This is really a forum for people to voice their displeasure as opposed to ranting about how amazing their £12 sandwich was and how they love paying to check in. You'll find those posts at http://www.iloveryanairandamfuckingdeluded.com
The IHR team.
So you're saying, that this website is for people who like to lick each other dicks in own company.
Ok, happy time to you! -
Is it LEGAL for RyanAir to deny me Online Check-In b/c I carry an American passport??
They expect me to stand in line, pay a fee in another line, return to get boarding pass in original line, then apply for a refund on my fee (why refunded? because it is illegal, i must presume), by submitting paperwork to Dublin. Please write any ideas on this. I have a written complaint in to Spanish authorities, but what is address for EU commission that oversees RyanAir, please??I also have had about 5 terrible experiences with RyanAir, though they started out just generally substandard and annoying and each flight over the past year seems to have gotten progressively worse.
2 days ago I ended up humiliated, furious and almost missed the flight, while my UK passport-holding husband and kids stood helplessly watching, the kids almost in tears with worry that I would be left behind. Then we were not allowed to sit in the 1st few rows despite öpen seating and the steward made a very nasty sarcastic comment to my husband when he couldn't find our boarding passes (they confiscated them temporarily at the boarding gate).
Anyway, I'll never fly with them again, even if I have to pay a bit more (usually not that much more, really) to be treated as a human and a paying customer, and not as a piece of annoying trash (as at RyanAir)! -
I am a non-EU national living and working in the UK; my spouse, an Italian, lives in Berlin. I commute a lot and Ryanair alas is the only real option. Ryanair have taken to forcing EU-nationals to check in at the airport, thus incurring charges that EU-nationals can avoid by checking in online and printing out their boarding passes.
It used to be the case that passengers were told, unofficially, to choose the online check-in option and then check in at the airport, where the charges were waived. Ryanair now–ever looking for a way to make another pound no matter how underhandedly—are now enforcing the charge for non-EU nationals. If you object, you are asked to write Ryanair for a refund. They no doubt assume correctly that most people will think that that is more trouble than it is worth. The charges are not large, but when one flies a lot, they add up.
In short: it can never be as cheap for a non-EU national to fly Ryanair as for an EU-national. This is DISCRIMINATION, and is, I suspect, illegal under EU law. (Even granted that I can apply for a refund, and supposing that my time is worthless, the stamp still costs something!)
But really it's the ugly principle of the thing, not the money, that really makes me angry. In any situation in which I have a choice, I will avoid Ryanair. No matter how politely I have pointed out that this practice is unfair, Ryanair's staff have simply been rude and hostile. -
I really don't know what you are all complaining about. I often fly with ryanair and find their website both easy to use and fair. Its obvious to me where the charges are and that you need to untick all the extras that you dont want!
Next the staff are always courteous and professional, and always willing to help. If you are too stupid to realise that its not their job to actually arrange your trip then thats your problem.
I have no problem with the credit card charges and my non-eu partner does not mind paying the extra £20 each way for checking in. Why should she.
I actually like the aircraft decor and the food is quite good and the coffee better than starbucks. The music on the plane can actually be soothing.
Finally if there are any problems, delays, lost luggage etc Iv always found the process to get things resolved is quite stress fee and user friendly with the Ryanair staff running their little socks off on my behalf.
All of the above is bullshit, if you hadnt already caught the sarcasm. I hate ryanair with the part of my black little heart that I have reserved for Josef Fitzl and Pol Pot. Mr O Learly must really be congratulated for inventing a way of totally ripping off evryone he can in any way he can and not be in prison. The man is disgusting.
I only fly with ryanair when my employer books the flight and thats only if there is no alternative. I pray for their demise (the recession MUST have some good news in it!) and that something very unpleasant occur to Mr O Leary like a drug smuggling charge, or bribery, or secret footage of him visiting a Thai Ladyboy in Limerick with Max Mosely. Something deeply embarrasssing and hopefully criminal, he is after all a crook.
Flown with Ryanair many times to this point with no real complaints.
Got caught out today!
After booking and paying for the flight we went to the online check in page (required since May the 21st) filled in our details passport numbers etc. but when we tried to check in my 10 year old daughter we realised that she needed a passport even though this was an internal flight and previously a passport was not required.
I must admit I had skimmed through their terms and conditions as I had read them a number of times before and did not notice the new requirement blah,blah,blah I thought!
On noticing my error I tried to contact them to explain what I had done and to see how this could be sorted out. I ended up on the customer (so called) help line where Emily (she would not give her full name) explained that I hadn't a leg to stand on! I asked to speak with her supervisor over thirty times but was point blank refused. I explained that we had just forked out £164.00 and was on the verge of losing our hard earnt cash and was told there was nothing that could be done because of there no refunds policy and should have read this properly!!
My wife took over at this point as I was seriously starting to loose my cool and asked a further 10 times to speak to a supervisor to see what could be done. Emily eventually hung up on us!! The help line is charged at an excessive £1 per minute and we were pleading for about 10.
The cheek!!I am self employed and would not dream of talking or dealing with my customers this way. I'd be out of business in a week.
The flight is later on this week and the only option left open to us was to contact the Passport Office to get an urgent fast track passport for my daughter at a cost of nearly double the usual price plus I loose a days pay as we have to hang aound in Peterborough (over an hours drive away) waiting for most of the day for it to be issued.
The very nice lady at the passport office said that many people have been caught out like us and they have been very busy as a result.
I wonder how many people out there have not known, thought of, or had the time and money to go to the passport office and have lost their money to Ryanair in this way? Seems like a nice little earner to me!
Don't trust these people. Ok it was my mistake but their attitude towards me and my situation was disgusting.
Please be aware of this new policy.
I really don't see why a child should have to have a passport to travel within her own country, unless they see children as potential terrorists!
I hate Lyingair's guts. I thought it was only me, but i'm so happy to find so many others feeling the same way about these thieving bastards. I flew from uk to einhoven and found my fairly new, expensive suitcase in shreds. It looked like someone has shot through it with a shotgun since all layers got ripped through from the front. It also had severe friction burns on its edges which probably means it had been dropped at speed while being transported.
Anyway, this was on a sunday and i had a busy week after this and only managed to get a claim in on the following monday (8th day after the incident). Mind you it was nearly impossible to get hold of them but eventually they had told me that i can forget it because all claims should be made within 7 days. this 7 day period included 2 sundays which no decent organisation would count or at least not both.
i absolutely despise them for their policies and money grabbing whore attitudes but unfortunately the majority of customers who hate lyingair still fly with them because at the end of the day these bastards are the most competitively priced in the market. And although O'leary is an absolute shit-face, he knows one thing. Customers are highly price conscious and they will choose the cheapest fare most of the times no matter how bad the service is. This theory is perfectly reinforced by the fact that Lyingair now flies more passengers a year than British Airways. Utter disgrace.
krupex, you arsehole, you really are. Please give details of the "millions" of satisfied Lyingair customers you boast about. If you really can't see what makes people mad about the shittest airline on earth, I think Silvio Berlusconi might have a job for you.
Lyingair has fucked us all, now watch, we are going to fuck you back, doesn't matter how long it takes, we will never cease in our endeavor to bring lyingair down.
Me!! We have just been caught out this week about the change to their passport requirements which changed on 1st October after we had phoned customer services and asked if my daughter could fly with her driving licence whereby we were told yes. Booked the flights and they then changed it after we had booked it and will not provide a refund. My daughter is a student forked out to go to a concert, booked hotel and flights and has lost £433. Ryanair are not interested. We couldnt fasttrack a passport as she has never had one only on mine as a child.
Im afraid this is my first purchase with Ryanair and my last! They didnt tell us about the change until after we had booked and paid and then I noticed the change on the advisory travel arrangement email.
I've just had my first experience of Ryanairs legendary customer service.
Flew with them from Birmingham to Spain & purchased priority boarding as I was flying with my parents & my young children. Flight out was no problem, exactly what we expected.
Return flight from Alicante was a different matter; no priority boarding & one member of staff. The hostess on the plane admitted they have real problems with Alicante as they refuse to operate the priority boarding scheme.
I wrote to Ryanair requesting a refund for the non existent boarding scheme and have just received a reply. The news is I can not have a refund as 'additional services are non refundable'.
How quite bizarre!
Mdy: did you go to the small claims court, I am very confident you'd have gotten your money back, a contract is formed at the time of booking, they can't change the terms thereafter.

If you would like a food that meets all your requirements, why not try our tasty Chapel Farm Original 20? It will still meet your dog's daily dietary requirements but will help to take some of the spark out of the fire whilst still leaving him bright eyed and bushy tailed.
- Rich in chicken with whole grains
- With Scottish Salmon oil
- With essential fatty acids
- With added beet pulp
The Chapel Farm Original 20 is an all-round totally balanced diet that is suitable for feeding all breeds of working or companion dog. This is the food we recommend using during rest periods when the dogs are not working or training as hard which we have been feeding at the Buccleuch Gundog Kennels for the last four years. We recommend this variety of the range for feeding all athletic types of dogs, including gundogs, working and pastoral breeds.
The Original 20% is rich in chicken and whole grains that provide the foundation of your dog's diet. The chicken content is an excellent source of protein and contains higher levels of protein as water weight of the chicken has been removed. Not only do grains provide carbohydrates and numerous vitamins and minerals, but they are also an excellent source of protein.
The Scottish Salmon oil which is rich in Omega 3 an essential fatty acid which can help build better brains and bones in younger dogs, it can be helpful as an anti-inflammatory supplement for arthritic dogs. It may also help keep brain functioning sharp in aging dogs. It is recommended for dogs with skin allergies and to help various skin conditions heal faster. Some researchers claim that salmon oil appears to slow cancer cell growth and helps dogs to maintain their weight.
Essential fatty acids are fundamentally important for dogs as they play a major role in the maintenance of healthy coat, skin, nails and many important biological functions in the body. Essential fatty acids are obtained exclusively through dietary intake, therefore the health of dogs, is dependent on obtaining enough essential fatty acids in the food we give them.
The added beet pulp is a very gentle, beneficial insoluble source of fibre that is not only generally very well tolerated, but also has specific properties that make it suitable as a source of nutrition for the beneficial bacteria that reside in the intestinal tract. Beet pulp adds bulk and moisture to animal stools and provides an energy source that can improve the health of the colon. Slow to moderately fermentable fibre sources, like beet pulp, are often recommended as one of the best sources of fibre for dogs.
We would recommend feeding the Chapel Farm Original 20 variety as a totally balanced diet that will fulfil all dietary requirements of a resting or companion dog and keep them in peak condition, even in their senior years. This variety provides all the dietary needs for lower levels of exercise but maintains your dog's level of health and vitality.

but though I passed a pleasant time yesterday, my fondness for Cambridge was very transient, and I feel now very slightly disposed to a further intimacy with it.

Yaya Toure wins African POY award
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP)
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure was named African player of the year for a third straight time on Thursday.
He beat out Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel of Nigeria in the vote by Africa's national team coaches. Toure's fellow Ivorian Didier Drogba, the Galatasaray striker and two-time recipient, was third.
''To be the winner today is unbelievable,'' the 30-year-old Toure said. ''I am very happy and very, very proud.''
Toure was instrumental in helping Ivory Coast qualify for its third straight World Cup finals in Brazil, scoring four goals in the six qualifiers he played. He is also a driving force at the heart of Manchester City's midfield and only Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o with four has won more African player of the year awards than Toure.
In October, Toure joined a United Nations campaign against poaching, warning the slaughter of elephants threatens their very existence in Africa. Nigeria swept all of the other major honors at a gala in Lagos, the country's seaside commercial capital.
Stephen Keshi was named coach of the year after reviving the fortunes of the national team and leading the Super Eagles to their first African Cup win in 20 years. Keshi was captain of the Nigerian team that last won the African Cup of Nations in 1994.
The Super Eagles won the team of the year award, and the under-17 Golden Eaglets took away the trophy for the youth team.
Even Nigerian supporters were honored, winning the award for fair play. Egypt's Mohamed Aboutrika won an unprecedented fourth award for the best player based in Africa after helping Al Ahly to a record-extending eighth African Champions League title before retiring at the end of last year. Aboutrika scored in both legs of the final against South Africa's Orlando Pirates.
Al Ahly won Africa's club of the year for the fifth time.

Posts about architects
Since you already own the land, the next logical steps are:
- from your own experience, estimate the number of classrooms and other facilities required for the school (can be done locally at your end)
- contact a few architects and local builders for an estimate of expenditure for construction of the school (must be done locally at your end)
- arrange funds for construction of the school
Task Progress
Thu, 2009/07/23 - 01:50 —Hey neighbours,
Just wanted to let everyone know that we are making great progress in Buterere! The tasks are being tackled and we are finding a lot of great information.
Right now we have a team of two qualified architects who are drafting what our higher learning school will look like. If anyone has any suggestions of what you think they should incorporate, please let me know. Any knowledge on what works for building in Central/East Africa (specifically Burundi) would be very beneficial.

What Anime Genre Is Your Fandom Soul Mate?
You got: You'd probably be in to anime based on video games!
You want to be the very best, like no one ever was. To accomplish that, you'll have to catch them all. Start by marathoning over a decade of Pokemon, or Digimon if you're a non-conformist. Collectible creatures not your bag? Card based Yu-Gi-Oh! has over 200 episodes on Hulu.
You got: You'd probably be in to western anime!
You're in the mood for an old-fashioned showdown at the O.K. Corral. Even in (or preferably in) outer space. Start with Cowboy Bebop, the quintessential western complete with a super-intelligent Corgi! Or follow the adventures of world's greatest gunslinger in Trigun. Need even more angsty revenge in your western? Try Gun X Sword.
You got: You'd probably be in to anime with magical girls!
You wish you were fighting evil moonlight, and winning love by daylight. Preferably with a group of girls in short skirts. If you can find it Sailor Moon is the best place to start or just wait until the remake online later this year. In the meantime, marathoning My-HiME or Cutie Honey are excellent alternatives.
You got: You'd probably be in to samurai anime!
If you're going to watch anime, it better feature some questionable Japanese history. Ninja Scroll is a film set in feudal Japan and comes with all the accompanying mythological demons. Need something a little longer than a couple of hours? Samurai 7 has free episodes streaming online or check out Samurai Champloo if you have Hulu.
You got: You'd probably like supernatural anime!
Zombies, and demons, and vampires, oh my! Anime is rife with supernatural shows of every flavor. Need zombies? Stream High School of the Dead on Netflix. More a vampire fan? Vampire Hunter D. Demons? Watch X.
You got: You'd probably be in to hentai.
Tentacle monsters, eh? For occult sexy times give the La Blue Girl or Bible Black series a whirl. Prefer your alone time a little more mundane? Mezzo Forte might be up your alley.
You got: You'd probably like anime featuring mechs!
When you think Japan, you think robots. Whether or not they are GIANT robots is optional. For the latter, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing or the trippy Neon Genesis Evangelion are the way to go. Prefer your mechs more man-sized? Ronin Warriors is on YouTube and Full Metal Alchemist is always streaming on Netflix.
You got: You'd probably be in to super power anime!
KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAAAAA! You want over powered soap opera action and you want it now. Obviously Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are crucial. But Naruto and One Piece are streamable on Hulu.
You got: You'd probably like romantic comedy anime!
Mistaken identities, comedy of errors, and angsty romance is what you crave. Need some light incest while waiting for Game of Thrones? Try Marmalade Boy. Watch Ouran High School Host Club or Chobits online for free. Or, if you've got Netflix, give Ah! My Goddess a whirl.

Kingman Academy teachers become students at Biosphere 2
Trekking through the rain forest biome was a favorite activity for Barbara McLarty. Plants from high up in the canopy send roots down to the ground. Even though it was hot and humid, she enjoyed this biome. (Courtesy)
By Kim Steele
KINGMAN - Barbara McLarty and Anjanette Delgado can't wait to share what they learned over the summer with the new students entering their fourth-grade classes this fall.
McLarty and Delgado, both teachers at Kingman Academy of Learning Intermediate School, spent 10 days in July as researchers at the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 in Oracle. They were two of 50 elementary and middle school teachers statewide who were invited to the dome to build physics and engineering experiments with everyday materials so they could replicate them in their classrooms.
"I think the kids in our classrooms will be really lucky this year," said McLarty, who has taught at KAOL for six years. "I was really excited when I was selected, because it meant I could help enrich the students in my classroom. This experience provides an avenue to do things that books don't, and being put in the position of a student helps me understand how they're perceiving what we're trying to get across to them."
Biosphere 2 encompasses 7.2 million cubic feet of space and covers 3.14 acres. It contains five ecosystems - tropical rainforest, savanna, ocean, desert and mangrove - that are sealed in a steel and glass structure. The program is sponsored by the Arizona Center for STEM Teachers and funded through a $250,000 grant from the Arizona Public Service Foundation. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.
By using toys and low-tech supplies, said McLarty, teachers can entice students to tackle physical concepts and create their own solutions. For example, McLarty's group was given two hours to develop a way for an action-figure toy to be thrown from a toy truck stationed on a wall and land slowly and safely on the ground.
McLarty said her group, which was composed of teachers she didn't know but had to work intensely with, used a thin plastic parachute, testing and redesigning it three times to come in first with a float time of almost seven seconds. McLarty said it was thrilling to watch the parachute open up and gently guide the toy to the ground.
"We throw kids in groups like this all the time," said Delgado, a second-year teacher who also built a parachute with another group. "And what we thought about it must be what the kids are thinking. The whole experience put us in their place. My first year of teaching, I learned how to keep students motivated and excited, but this program gave us so many books and ideas on how to do it. It really dug deep."
The program, themed "Ebb and Flow," focused on energy, electricity, magnetism and new approaches to scientific methods and research, said Delgado. It was life-changing for her to be able to pick up new information, learn new strategies and meet new teachers. The teachers lived in the biosphere for 10 days and worked from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day.
"This was a wonderful experience and I'd do it all over again," said Delgado. "I had the opportunity to explore, learn new things and be a scientist. There was a tremendous amount of information and I felt overwhelmed as I tried to absorb it. But I'm really glad I went and I think my students definitely will benefit from it."
As one of her projects, Delgado created a bio-bottle, a 2-liter bottle containing water, soil, carbon granules and plants from the biosphere that co-exist together in a self-watering environment.
Delgado said she plans to use the bio-bottle, which was a success and is still living, in her classroom after school begins.
"I've already started collecting bottles for the kids and this is one of the things I learned that I plan to do with the kids," said Delgado. "I loved doing it at the Biosphere and I think it will be neat for my students to build it and see it survive. They'll be able to watch it throughout the school year."
McLarty even got a chance to fail during the program when she made a solar oven that warmed a marshmallow but never cooked it. McLarty said she was able to test the oven and redesign it, but it never toasted well. McLarty said the experience, which she called a "successful failure" because it taught her to keep trying, will help her deal with students who may need time beyond the classroom with a project.
Both teachers said they enjoyed the various presentations by scientists who have done research projects at the Biosphere, especially Jane Poynter, one of the original inhabitants who lived in the dome for two years.
The teachers said Poynter talked about the difficulty of living in an enclosed environment and interacting with her teammates during that time. McLarty said the lesson is useful for future deep space travel where astronauts must live together in small spaces.
McLarty said she appreciated the opportunity APS gave to the teachers by funding their visit and giving them iPads to take home. McLarty said it takes more than book learning to reach today's students, who are used to a hands-on education filled with activities and technology. That becomes even more important as new teaching and testing standards are being implemented this fall with the Arizona Common Core Standards.
"We work so hard as teachers and it's wonderful to have someone understand and step forward to give us what we need to educate the next generation," said McLarty. "If you give me a stack of papers, I can read and understand them. But to live that same information at the Biosphere gives us a chance to show students that what they're learning is applicable to life.
"We got to partake of a wonderful feast there."

SolarCity's Q2 Outperformance & Outlook Pleases Credit Suisse
SolarCity's (NASDAQ: SCTY) narrower-than-expected second quarter loss and 62 percent revenue growth won the approval of a Credit Suisse analyst who maintained an Outperform rating on the shares.
The residential solar power company's adjusted loss of $0.96 was $0.03 narrower than Wall Street expected, although revenue of $61.33 million was below the consensus $63.24 million.
Yet Credit Suisse's Patrick Jobin boosted his price target to $97, from $93 and said company plans for reducing costs by $0.40 per share will bolster margins as federal subsidies for the solar power industry diminish in 2017.
The company told investors that additional automation of our processes, productivity improvement and lower unit costs will help achieve cost savings.
Jobin said Solar's bookings rate provides confidence in earnings estimates for 2014. But in the seasonally strong fourth quarter "it will be important to monitor whether any installation bottlenecks develop."
SolarCity was down seven percent near Friday's close at $70.35.

MedShare is Coming to UCDHS – Finally
Posted on May 10th, 2013 in Uncategorized | 10 comments »
In my last post I wrote about the challenge of bringing a new program on board which, as I wrote, doesn't necessarily color within the lines. MedShare represents a great opportunity to put our surplus medical supplies to great use in 3rd World countries. Stuff that we can't use, and therefore discard, can save a life in a poor country.
As I concluded in the last post, there was light at the end of the tunnel, with Bob Waste suggesting that we simply change the "donation request" to a "sponsorship", and have a check cut for such a sponsorship to MedShare. Off we go? Not.
This may be a bit of TMI, but it serves to illustrate some of the intricacies, and, therefore, challenges of our system. Traditionally it has been easy to simply prepare a check request for a sponsorship, which is a good thing since Community Relations sponsors a couple of hundred events and activities a year. I can just imagine what a hassle doing a purchase requisition for each sponsorship would be. Well, guess what happened. Campus Accounting decided that they needed to track sponsorship via the purchase requisition process, and apparently told us that we had to do the same. This slammed the brakes on for a number of sponsorship requests, not just mine. Our purchase req system is not designed for sponsorships, and our Purchasing folks, rightly so, said that purchase req isn't the right way to do this.
After a bit of back and forth, the two sides got together a few weeks ago, while I was off at the CleanMed conference. The upshot? Campus didn't know that our Purchase Req system didn't mirror theirs. They were holding fast because they thought it did. Apparently they agreed to let us handle sponsorship our way, in the check request process. All is now good.
Now MedShare has our sponsorship check in hand, Bill Corbett has processed a purchase order, and we are seconds away from being good to go. My intern, Joanne, and I talked with our MedShare rep, Shannon, the other day to get a handle on logistics and to lay out a plan to put things in motion here.
We have several (30-40) pallets of surplus medical supplies in the warehouse, all of which came back from PHS exchange cart restocking. The warehouse is anxious to get this space back. I just received an e-mail from Shannon, telling me that they have a trucking company that will backhaul these pallets of goods to them, pro bono, so we should get the warehouse freed up next week.
The kick-off meeting is being scheduled for May 20, and the following day we'll receive shippers which we can fill with accumulated supplies for shipment to the MedShare warehouse. Then we'll figure where to place the collection barrels, while, at the same time, contractor badges will be processed for the MedShare driver and operations manager.
No small amount of work, and it really did take a village to get this thing going. But, this time, we really are ready to go. Pretty exciting!
Do something GREEN today!
Scott McNelley
We work in the healthcare logistics and equipment relocation. Minimizing waste and repurposing surplus supplies is a need we see every day. Finding commons sense solutions for our clients helps them, helps us and the environment. I would be interested to get updates on the evolution of this program.
Car Servicing
I enjoyed the last post you done. This was was as equally impressive. Keep it up.

It's really a cool and helpful piece of info. I'm happy that you simply shared this helpful info with us.
Please stay us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing. -
I'm glad the trucking company was able to backhaul those pallets so you guys could get the warehouse freed up. Now, if we can only get electric hybrid class A and B trucks on the road!

Nice post. I like it. This is useful for me.

Its always pleasure to see your energy ideas and its great information for read.
Good job UCDavis -
That's great that you are making the effort to make a difference.We need more people like you to take the initiative to implement these types of programs as they are so helpful to people in need. Keep up the great work!
Yacon Syrup Reviews
This looks like a really interesting program. Did you guys end up getting this implemented and if so is it working out well for you? Im curious!


text: Not going to state the obvious, but I feel we need a good tight end out of the draft or free agency. Todd Heap put on a clinic out there on the field today. King is descent guy but he lacks speed. I think a hybrid type tight end like Jared Cook would be sufficient. Also could use another good corner back. Munnerlyn went to my alma mater, love the guy but he's just to damn short. Marshal is a nickel back at best and Gamble is aging.

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Swissray International, Inc., a leading manufacturer of direct digital Radiography (ddR) systems, announced today that they have sold another ddRFormula DR system to the Orthopedic Associates of Fort Walton Beach., Florida.
For more than a decade Swissray has been the pioneer and technology leader in the field of digital radiography (DR) serving hundreds of health care providers and patients with innovative and cost-effective DR solutions that emphasize excellence in image quality and lower radiation dose. Specialized orthopedic functionality such as distortion free image stitching and automated positioning has propelled Swissray to quickly expand its growing market share in Orthopedics.
According to Josh Laberee, Director of Operations, at Orthopedic Associates of Fort Walton Beach on the recent purchase of a second ddRFormula system, "Swissray DR is above and beyond the obvious choice for digital imaging; our medical office provides a wide variety and a high volume of imaging studies on a daily basis. The Swissray DR system is unmatched, images are instantly available for review, radiation exposure is minimal and for imaging a very high volume of patients the efficiency gains are outstanding." When asked, "Why was Swissray DR technology chosen over CR technology?" Laberee responded, "Swissray's ddRFormula provides such high resolution and excellent image quality that it is superior to what a CR X-ray system can provide. Our Orthopedic Surgeons are able to find hairline fractures with Swissray DR images that they would never have seen on a processed CR image."

Complete Release in PDF Format
After a 12-and-a-half hour road trip that included a bus drive to Sky Harbor in Phoenix, and a charter flight to New York City's JFK airport which included refueling stops in Amarillo, Tex. And Evanston, Ind., the Arizona Softball arrived at its hotel in Melville, N.Y. at 3:45 a.m. local time.
Because of their lengthy travel schedule, team practice at Hofstra has been moved back to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, instead of the originally scheduled 1 p.m. practice slot.
Packed Field - The Pac-10 qualified seven of its eight teams for the NCAA tournament., a clear indication of why UA's 13-8 conference record helped it climb to a No. 7 overall seeding. All eight Pac-10 teams played in the 1999, 2000 and 2003 tournaments. The other selected Pac-10 teams are hosts Arizona State and UCLA, Washington (at Houston), Stanford (at Amherst, Mass.), California (at Fresno, Ccalif.) and Oregon (at Norman, Okla.).
Arizona's NCAA Appearance -- Arizona appears in its 22nd consecutive NCAA Championships and 22nd overall since 1987, all under the aegis of coach Mike Candrea or -- as is the case this year and in 2004 - under the tutelage of assistant coach Larry Ray. Softball became a Division I sport in 1982 and Arizona did not qualify for the first five tournaments but has thereafter. Arizona has won a regional 19 times to advance to the Women's College World Series, an event is has won eight times including the past two seasons. Arizona has been host 16 times -- 1988, 1990, 1992-95, 1997-2001, 2003-07. The team has traveled to NCAA Regional sites five previous times - 1987, 1989 and 1991 in tempe, 1996 in Tallahassee, Fla., and 2002 in Minneapolis.

Continuous-wave four-wave mixing with linear growth based on electromagnetically dual induced transparency
Chinese Optics Letters, Vol. 2, Issue 7, pp. 418-420 (2004)
Acrobat PDF (483 KB)
Using Schrodinger-Maxwell formalism, we propose and analyze a continuous-wave four-wave mixing (FWM) scheme for the generation of coherent light in a six-level atomic system based on electromagnetically dual induced transparency. We derive the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the generated mixing field. We find that the scheme greatly enhances FWM production efficiency and is also capable of inhibiting and delaying the onset of the detrimental three-photon destructive interference by choosing the proper decay rate in the second electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) process. In addition, such an optical process also provides possibilities for producing short-wave-length coherent radiation at low pump intensities.

Several years ago in the area I live, Johnny Carino's closed 11 places. The franchise owner was spending money faster than he could take it in, debtors and IRS yanked him up by the short curlies and he took the cowards way out and ate a 357 slug……
Some years ago a chain of mexican restaurants closed all but 2 places because of franchise issues and some employee lack of caring what kind of service the did.
All the while, local places, mom & pop places were doing fine. No higher wages, just better management……..except for one BBQ place where the parents gave the business to the kids, all they saw was the money. Went out and bought big boat, fast/fancy cars, Vegas trips, (obummer voters/supporters) almost wrecked the business, Mom and Pop took it back and it is doing fine now…..

I remember when I was in high school (back when we had to watch TV by coal oil lamps) my bookkeeping teacher said that the IRS was, then, the only "thing" that operated outside the Constitution. You were presumed guilty and had to prove your innocence.
50 years later we have another three letter agency that has trashed the constitution……TSA. They 'get to' paw through EVERYTHING you have, even your pants and shirt, then they paw through your luggage and take whatever they want and sell it as additional income…….

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Epilepsy is one of the most common nervous system disorders and affects millions of people including children worldwide. Epilepsy is diagnosed in a person who experiences recurrent, unprovoked seizures or convulsions.
These seizures or fits occur when cells in the brain called neurons fire off electrical impulses excessively, leading to a short-term arrest of normal brain function. The majority of seizures are convulsive, with one third of these beginning as generalized seizures and the other two thirds as focal seizures, which may progress to generalized seizures at a later stage. The remainder of seizures are non-convulsive, an example being the absence seizure, where a person's consciousness is decreased for around 10 seconds.
Epilepsy is treated and controlled successfully with the use of antiepileptic medications. In some people, however, these medications fail to control seizures. Epilepsy is considered refractory to treatment when two or three anticonvulsant drugs have failed to prevent the occurrence of seizures and this occurs in around 20% to 30% of patients. In cases where medication fails, other treatment options include epilepsy surgery, vagus nerve stimulation and the ketogenic diet.
The ketogenic diet is a special diet designed to help children with epilepsy that fails to respond adequately to routine anti-epileptic medications. A typical ketogenic diet is high in fat and low in carbohydrates, while providing an adequate amount of protein.
This diet is termed ketogenic because it mimics the effects of fasting, which causes the body to produce ketones. During starvation, the body is forced to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. An increased blood level of ketone bodies is referred to as ketosis and several studies have shown that a ketogenic diet is associated with seizure reduction in children with epilepsy that is difficult to manage. When a person follows a normal diet, carbohydrates provide glucose as an energy source that supplies the brain. When the diet is too low in carbohydrates, the liver breaks down fats to produce fatty acids and ketones, which replace this glucose as the brain's energy source.
The ketogenic diet contains adequate amounts of protein for body growth and repair and total calories in the diet are also sufficient to maintain a healthy weight for a given age and height.

In accordance with the objectives of the plan, the board approved motions that will create a pedestrian-oriented "green" area in the center of the campus. Parking and vehicular traffic lanes will be removed, and new landscaping will emphasize safe pedestrian circulation. To offset the loss of parking in these areas, two lots are being constructed on the campus perimeter.
Also in conjunction with the Master Plan, the board approved the construction of the Athletic Plaza, a pedestrian walkway connecting campus sports facilities such as Brooks Stadium and Charles L. Watson Stadium to the campus center.
Other measures were approved in response to needs created by the University's growing enrollment and expanding campus. Motions were approved to proceed with planning for a new student housing facility, two new dining/catering facilities, and a tennis facility. Plans to proceed with the second phase of the planned expansion of the Hicks Dining Hall were also approved, as well as plans to renovate the Williams-Brice Building/Kimbel Arena.
The board approved changing the name of the Quail Creek Golf Club to the General James Hackler Golf Course at Coastal Carolina University. The renaming is a result of a significant bequest from the late Gen. Hackler (1920-2007), a career U.S. Air Force officer who was a leader in the Grand Strand golf industry and a longtime CCU supporter.
The board announced that CCU has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, a national award given by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), for its comprehensive annual financial report for fiscal year 2009-2010.
The board approved a one-year lease for the Foundation Center building on U.S. 501.
The board awarded the title Distinguished Professor to faculty member Sara L. Sanders as she enters her final year of service to the University.

Vogt Wilkison says theres more to the play than bad hair and worse pickup lines. She was introduced to it as a drama student at Syracuse University, where it was used for scene study, in which actors had to convey subtext. It looks like a play about sex, she says. But its really about friendship and loyalty and changes. You have to get that from the actors.
So whats with the title? At one point, the two guys are talking about the girl, the ten, and one of them says, Did you see her headlights? explains Vogt Wilkison. Headlights? the other asks. Do you mean her hooters? We salute any actor who can say that with a straight face, let alone do it while conveying subtext.
