4/28/2015Worth to try it.
12/2/2014Purchased for windows phone. Worst navigation software I have ever used. They spent so much time on the GUI that they failed to create a good db of addresses and POI. For example could not locate Lakeshore Reserve Drive in Orlando which has the Ritz Carlton, JW Mariott, and Mariott Lakeshore villas. Tried address and POI but couldn't locate any of them. Make sure to try app first ... Don't buy just because it is expensive app. There are much better apps out there that are free.
11/10/2014Decent application.
9/12/2014For this kind of money, I have to type in an address? It doesn't link to my contacts?
7/6/2014Can't even enter a destination. No instructions. No intuitive choices. Uninstalling this piece of ****.
7/3/2014First time that I use this apps is great. After a few weeks it doesn't open or working. What a waste of money.
3/10/2014Great application!
2/14/2014Great app!

Every now and again, I like to bring you a little slice of Korean gaming. I try not to delve too deeply most of the time, but this was just too good to pass up.
Today, I present to you the best gaming magazine in all of Korea. There's a good chance, and this is not hyperbole, this is the best monthly game magazine in the world.
Retailing at 13,800 Korean won (about $12.50 US) and weighing in at over 500 pages, GAMER'Z caters to almost every gaming audience available. It serves your standards, from reviews and previews to game culture and more. Everything is covered in this issue, from the staff's Game of the Year picks to a feature devoted to the history of the Playstation 2.
Most astonishing, however, is the MASSIVE strategy guides that make up the second half of the book. Being the primary source (and as far as I can tell, ONLY source) of printed gaming news appears to have its privileges. There is just a ton of content for the money spent.
One of the games, which I don't recognize nor am I skilled enough to translate from Korean to English, translates an entire Japanese RPG's dialogue into Korean. I've seen this done before, having purchased an Asian version copy of Tales of Vesperia with a Korean dialogue guide book by Namco Bandai Games taped to the side, but I never would have expected this kind of resource to come from an outside company.
How thorough is a GAMER'Z guide? Well, Final Fantasy's in there… all of it. From the six classes to maps with item locations and the shortest route drawn out. Take away the bestiary, and this is as close as you can get to Nintendo Power #17.
The cherry on top, however, was a magazine inserted into the middle of this issue titled "Smart GAMER'Z" that was devoted entirely to smartphone games. This tiny booklet adds another 50 pages to the proceedings.
Check out the gallery below for a quick look at this beast. There's even some Disgaea D2 preview screens inside!
Who says printed media is dead? Hail to the king, baby.

Pay dirt? There is no dirt involved. They drilled a hole through the ice and reached the lake beneath. Not the lakebed.
Why the sad face? Sounds like you didn't read the article. This is exciting news. Nobody knows what's down there.
Posted 27 January 2013 - 23:45
U.S. scientists successfully drilled into Lake Whillans, a subglacial expanse of water hidden deep beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, they reported on Sunday (Jan. 27).
About a month ago, a similar British attempt to reach subglacial Lake Ellsworth had failed. Drilling operations for the WISSARD project (Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling), which is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs, started on Jan. 21.
Over the next couple of days, equipment will be lowered down the 2,625-foot (800-meter)-deep hole to carry out measurements and to obtain water samples for further study on board container-based scientific laboratories on the surface. As of Sunday (Jan. 27), theWISSARD team said they may have penetrated the lake surface.
Nice try Brits.

The article below has been selected from the extensive archives of the Online Aikido Journal. We believe that an informed readership with knowledge of the history, techniques and philosophy of aikido is essential to the growth of the art and its adherence to the principles espoused by Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba.
As long as we persist in viewing kata superficially, we will begin to think that they are of special importance. One cannot systematically or rationally explain any kata merely by learning in a repetitive manner without an understanding of why certain kata are considered to be basic. What we acquire by learning only repetitively is the preservation of form (the transmission of external form) and not the ability to create (understanding of the essence of kata). In other words, one does not understand what he is doing.
The Aikido Journal archives now include more than 800 articles in twenty different languages and numerous video clips. We are constantly adding new articles and translations in our effort to document aikido and related disciplines past and present. If you would like to support us in this effort by taking out a subscription to the Online Aikido Journal we welcome you to do so by clicking this link. Remember that if you subscribe or renew for two years you will now receive both the Aiki News / Aikido Journal Archival DVD and Stanley Pranin's latest book Aikido Pioneers-Prewar Era absolutely free of charge.

George Egerton (Mary Chavelita Dunne) (1859-1945), Writer
Sitter in 2 portraits
Born in Australia, Mary Dunne moved with her family to Dublin when she was eleven. In 1887 she eloped to Norway with Henry Peter Higginson, where she was much influenced by writers such as Ibsen and Strindberg. There the writer Knut Pedersen encouraged Dunne to write subjectively about female experiences. Back in London Dunne wrote Keynotes (1893) for which Aubrey Beardsley drew the cover. This first major success was followed by four more volumes of short stories written as George Egerton. Influenced by Scandinavian realism, Dunne became associated with 'new woman' fiction and women's rights.

January is such a dull month, right? We've all over-spent and over-indulged during recent festivities leaving our bellies full but our bank accounts empty. Plus, January is officially the most depressed month of the entire year, so perhaps it's time we broke the trend and treated ourselves to a spot of 'me time'.
A girl's night in is the perfect anecdote to the January Blues as there's nothing better than a spot of pampering and gossip washed down with wine and nibbles. So say goodbye to boring nights in and depriving detoxes and go all out, I say!
To create your girl's night in, all you need is a bunch of willing girlfriends, a cosy room with a TV, luxurious super-sized beds, a chick-friendly movie selection and a large bathroom. By booking a hotel room at one of the new look Travelodge's (there are 100s across the UK now), you'll benefit from all of this on tap. Besides, this is 'me time' in style – you deserve to be waited on.
Add a collection of daring nail polishes, a generous pot of coconut oil, a variety of lipsticks and a few choice outfits and you've got your essentials for heavenly girl-time.
Coconut oil has 101 uses and it won't break the bank either, making it the perfect purchase for January. Massage it into your cuticles, hands and feet and let it get to work overnight for touchably soft skin the next day. Better still, ask your friends to massage it in (you go, I go), so you all get a spot of luxury. For super-shiny locks the next day, massage the coconut oil into your scalp and through the lengths of your hair then wrap up in a warm towel for the ultimate deep-conditioning treatment. While that's getting to work, paint each other's nails in a shade you've never tried before or, with a group of others on-hand to help, why not give nail art a go?
Trying a new lipstick from your friends' collections is a quick way to update your look plus having opinions on hand that you trust will give your confidence a boost. Swap clothes, strut your stuff and hold your own mini catwalk show – it's amazing how listening to others viewpoints will help you to see yourself in a new light and possibly even find you a new look without costing a penny.
Finally, after all that hard work and gossiping, settle down to a classic chick flick such as Bridget Jones, Dirty Dancing or When Harry Met Sally and order room service while you're at it. Bliss.

Senate Subcmte. Reviews Proposed Wartime Contracting Bill
April 17, 2012
Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) will testify before the Senate Homeland Security Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight today on the Comprehensive Contingency Contracting Reform Act.
Sen. Webb and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced the legislation, which aims to increase accountability and stop waste, fraud and abuse in overseas contracting, on Feb. 29, 2012.
The legislation is based on recommendations from a final report released last August by the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, which found as much as $60 billion of waste and fraud in wartime contracts for the two wars.

Thanks for the perspective. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic. This is
really just a slight tweak on a pretty simple ecological model. The
system is nonlinear with coupled equations, but I doubt that it's going
to be as troublesome as your system was.

Thanks for the warning. I'll look into that. Hell, maybe I'll just
learn Fortran, I know it can't be that hard... just antiquated and
weird, no?

I tend to differ with you there. If there's well-established code that
solves a problem, and I can understand the interface to that code, I'm
inclined to use it. The trouble comes when the code is poorly
documented (which, admittedly, may be the case more often than not) or
hasn't been tested sufficiently. Unfortunately, those may both be
problems when it comes to C libraries for numerics, because it seems
like most people continue to use Fortran for those sorts of things. And
the old tried and true code is probably much better than anything I
could write with out changing my area of specialization.

Actually, I'm much more likely to get distracted by OS X, since that's
what I'm running on my new iceBook that I picked up a few weeks ago.
Oops, did I say that on a LUGOD list?

This weekend we had the pleasure of providing the floral decor for the Wedding of Rachel Fine, a singer/songwriter and television host, and her fiance Richie. The wedding was held at the Metropolitan Building in Long Island City and was one of the coolest venues ever. It's an old electrical factory that has been remodeled as an event space and is absolutely beautiful and just perfect for the couple. They also had some fun activities for guests including a vintage themed photo booth from NYC Photo Party.
They choose to forgo a formal sit down dinner with your usual tables and instead created little groupings of seating areas using vintage trunks, couches and chairs for guests to relax and eat. The couple had collected vintage bottles from all around the country to be used as vases for the flowers and we filled them with a mixture of dahlias, garden roses, freesia, lisianthus, calla lilies, and scabiosa pods and placed them all over the space. For the ceremony we lined the aisle with cream and coral rose petals and created an arch of sorts from curly willow branches in moss filled urns. The look absolutely worked for the space!

From the Palace to Dallas: Royal Treatment Results in Riches for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
December 12, 2008
To say that the more than 300 guests at the Northeast Texas Chapter-Dallas Office Royal Winter Ball dined on dishes fit for royalty is no exaggeration. Based on the Queen's Winter Ball held each year in England, the elegant, black-tie evening of fabulous food, exciting auctions and dancing into the wee hours raised a kingly $275,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Presenting sponsors Jacqueline and Dick Bowman flank Royal Chef Darren McGrady and his wife Wendy at the Royal Winter Ball in Dallas.
Details That Made a Difference
Prominent Dallas business executives and social and civic leaders streamed into the grand ballroom of the prestigious Adolphus Hotel, and guests feasted on a sumptuous menu of Gaelic chicken and beef tenderloin in a mushroom whiskey sauce and bread and butter pudding, selected by guest host Darren McGrady, former royal chef to Buckingham Palace and Princess Diana at Kensington Palace. McGrady, who currently resides in Dallas, was on hand to regale the guests with inside anecdotes of life with the royal family.
High-ticket auction items included two delicious dinners straight from the kitchen of the Royal Chef and a fantasy baseball experience and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sit with the Texas Rangers during batting practice, throw out the first pitch of the game and visit with Baseball Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan. But the live auction got even livelier when Chef Andrew Kelley, son of Royal Society 65 Roses Chair and longtime Foundation friend Pam Kelley, was so moved by the event that he donated—on the spot—a fabulous gourmet dinner for eight. When bids rapidly reached the $7,000 total, he generously added a second meal to the auction mix!
It was a night of moving moments, including the presentation of a bound book of letters from CF families to presenting sponsors Jacqueline and Dick Bowman, who in addition to a $25,000 event sponsorship, also made a $10,000 Bid for a Cure. "We have no personal connection to cystic fibrosis," said Jacqueline, "but as we've learned more about the disease and the Foundation's efforts to cure it, we have been incredibly touched by the courage of those families battling CF. We are enormously proud to support this life-saving mission."
Thanks a Million
Much gratitude goes out to presenting sponsors Jacqueline and Dick Bowman, as well as the following corporate sponsors:
A heartfelt thanks to longtime Foundation friend and volunteer Pam Kelley and the rest of the Kelley family: event co-chairs Jackie and Michael Kelley and Chef Andrew Kelley.
Finally, the event could not have succeeded without the tireless efforts of co-chairs Jessica and Dan Slaven and the following volunteers:

As far as we're concerned, anything Lenovo does to make the ThinkPad look sleeker is just gravy. It's a balance of performance and portability at a reasonable price point that make a ThinkPad, but the visual refresh is appreciated. So far the T431 fits the bill, and we look forward to getting this ultrabook in for a full review.

The former Johnny B Badd had all the athletisicm to be a top star and decent mic skills. If the match could be re booked who do you think should've won?

Speak Up: Responding to Everyday Bigotry
What Can I Do About Offended Guests?
'What Are You?'
A friend stays overnight with a married couple. All three had been part of a beer-drinking crowd in college but when offered a beer that evening, the guest politely declines.
In the morning, the husband offers the guest a cup of coffee. Again, the guest declines. Attempting humor, the husband asks, "What are you, Mormon or something?"
The guest explains that, yes, he has married since college, to a Mormon woman, and has converted.
The wife describes it this way: "Ever the nice guy, [the guest] handled it with grace and wit, letting [my husband] off gently."
Be proactive. Before houseguests arrive, ask if they have any special dietary restrictions or other needs. Also, share any household traditions or practices you have that may affect them.
Pay attention. When we miss or ignore social cues and clues, we can stumble into awkward moments. Pay attention to subtleties of communication, a hesitancy from a guest before beginning a meal might indicate a need for a moment of silent prayer, for example.
Focus on behavior, not beliefs. If you feel the need to ask questions, center it on behavior rather than beliefs. "John, you used to drink in college. Have you stopped?" This may open, rather than close, a conversation.
Accept information at face value. If someone declines one thing, offer another without judgment or inference. "Would you like a soft drink instead?" Or, "We also have milk or juice; would that work?" Be gracious. Aim to please, not judge.
Take responsibility.If you do stumble, don't let someone else's graciousness take you off the hook. Make amends as quickly and sincerely as possible: "What an insensitive thing for me to say. I'm sorry."

COLUMBIAThe Bishop England football team hopes 13 is its lucky number again.
The Bishops play Abbeville at 8:30 p.m. today at Charlie W. Johnson Stadium, and a victory would give the Bishops a 13-1 record and a Division II-AA state championship for the second year in a row.
Abbeville is 11-2 entering the game and is looking for its third straight state title. The Panthers won two in a row at the Division I-A classification.
The game will be televised locally by WMMP.
Abbeville coach Jamie Nickles is impressed with Bishop England.
This football team we are playing, they are the real deal, Nickles told reporters earlier this week. They are extremely well-coached. You can tell on film they are outstanding young men. They do everything the right way and they are a pleasure to watch.
Coach John Cantey had to come up with seven new starters on defense, and after a shaky start, the Bishops defense has become rock solid. They allowed 101 points in the first six games of the season and have surrendered just 73 in the last seven games.
Both the Panthers and Bishop England rely heavily on the running game. Abbeville has rushed for 4,091 yards while the Bishops have 3,584 yards.
OBryan Wilson leads the Panthers in rushing with 1,158 yards and 14 touchdowns, and teammate C.J. Martin has gained 881 yards with 10 touchdowns. Mike Bolden has chipped in with 487 yards and six scores.
Quarterback Kelly Bryant has rushed for 588 yards and six touchdowns, despite missing four games with an injury.
Stephenson leads the Bishops with 1,217 yards and 22 touchdowns, and Griffie Loy has 616 yards and 11 TDs. Nick Theos has added 315 yards on the ground, and Nick Shiver has 238.
Quarterback Kevin Herbst has 720 yards rushing and 756 passing.
Tonight marks the final game for 20 Bishop England players. They include Nick Theos, DeAngelo Stephenson, Kevin Herbst, Ryan Rogers, Drew Costa, K.B. Blanchard, Weston Marvin, Griffie Loy, Nick Tezza, Jamie Garrett, Jacob Vecchiolla, Forrest Bowers, Mason Lewis, Malcolm Nazon, Zach Richter, Ryan Phillips, Adam Dobbins, Parkwood Griffith, Jamie Lopez-White and Patrick Clarey.

Turkish citizens, who found access to Twitter blocked yesterday in an apparent attempt by prime minister Recep Erdoğan to stem the spread of corruption allegations against him, have been able to work around the block by switching to Google's public DNS service.
The Turkish government blocked access to Twitter by requiring local ISPs to change the DNS entries so that twitter.com could no longer be reached. As soon as the method of blocking access was discovered, a campaign started to spread the word that it could be circumvented by changing network settings to use Google's DNS servers at 126.96.36.199 and 188.8.131.52 (update: a comment suggests the Turkish government is blocking these addresses too) …
The Verge reports that graffiti is being used to let people know the solution, with the hashtag #DirenTwitter ('Resist Twitter') being used to post about the censorship.
Twitter also tweeted to say that Turkish citizens can tweet via SMS.
The corruption allegations against Recep Erdoğan stem from recordings posted on YouTube and elsewhere in which he is seemingly giving instructions to his son to dispose of large sums of cash. You would think governments would have realised by now that attempting to block the spread of information on the Internet is almost guaranteed to be counter-productive, but it would appear not.
Instructions for using Google's DNS servers with Windows, OS X and Linux can be found here.

4 Responses to "Google DNS provides workaround as Turkish government blocks access to twitter"
Just a heads up. Diren Twitter means Resist Twitter but not occupy. And some are reporting that some ISPs are also blocking Google's DNS servers. Around 5 minutes ago i found out that Google's DNS is also blocked on me
Hi Oomoot; with that being the case, there's also OpenDNS (126.96.36.199 and 126.96.36.199) and many other free DNS providers on the internet.
With the case of the oppression in your current government, I hope many people raise awareness. With some searching people will see they have so many free DNS options and you can't target them all.
Here's a link to some of the top ones.
Push the freedom forward – Hope ya'll come out on top of this one!

Traveling By Air While Old
On my first Manhattan post this week, TGB reader Annie left this important query:
"I noticed you didn't mention travel difficulties or sheer exhaustion. I hope there were no glitches, and your joy and new fitness level gave you much energy to make it an easy trip."
Tiredness due to the hardships of modern-day airline travel is an important consideration when you're old. Senior Planet recognized this and gave me an up-front extra night at the hotel so that I could recover from the day-long flight and be fresh for a full day on my feet at CEWeek.
The respite was critical not just for my physical energy but mental too. When I'm worn out, my brain goes dead too so I am grateful for their consideration.
I was lucky to get a direct flight to New York with only one stop. That's not easy from Portland, Oregon, and it required that I leave home at 4AM to arrive at the airport in time for all that security stuff before a 5:20AM departure.
But wait! What an amazing, pleasant surprise was in store for me: as I presented my boarding pass and ID to the first TSA agent, he directed me to the fast-track lane. No line, no shoe and jacket removal, no separate laptop or Ziplock bag of liquids examination. Just shove my carry-on and handbag through the x-ray belt and move on through.
(Pathetic, isn't it, how little it takes to thrill us about airline travel these days?)
"How did I get so lucky?" I asked. "I want to know what to do to make this happen next time."
"It's random," he said and I didn't stick around to argue.
Of course, my gate was as far from security as is possible and still be in the terminal but Annie was right – my 40-pound weight loss made a big difference in the long walk compared to my last airplane trip in November, and a partial substitute for the morning exercise routine I was obliged to skip due to getting to the airport so early.
It was disappointing to see, however, that nowhere were there any of the scooters there once were in airports - the ones you could hail like a taxi that hold about six people with their carry-ons that toot-tooted along the concourses.
The walk to ground transportation at JFK airport was at least as long and although I was dragging after nine hours in a noisy tin can with bad air, my weight loss and workout regimen made this the least tiring flight I've had in a decade.
Even so, I was wiped out enough by the time I got to the hotel that all I wanted was sleep. Since it was only about 7PM, I strolled around the neighborhood until I found a place for dinner before taking those photos of the Empire State Building from my hotel window and falling into bed.
The return trip was even easier. Without a plane change or stop, it was the standard six hours from east coast to west and lo – I was allowed to glide through security again in the fast lane.
I can't be certain but here's what I think happened: when I was selecting seats online, the only choices for each flight were the last two rows – somewhere up in the hundreds, rows 247 and 248.
Okay, I exaggerate, but that's what those seats feel like and it made me want to cry.
It took me only a second or two to decide to personally pay an extra $99 each way to purchase seats in the first row or two of economy class even though that's no frivolous amount of money to me.
(By the way, I'm cynical enough to believe that airlines probably block out all seats but the worst so more people will spend the extra money for better ones but if that's the way the game must be played these days, it was worth it to me to skimp on a couple of restaurant meals and other treats at home this month to pay for it.)
Back to breezing through security – I suspect that it is an extra you get for paying that outrageous price for a good seat. I can't see any other explanation.
Now, having had many bad flights and one good experience, here are some thoughts that might help us all for future airline travel while old. Remember, even if we don't need extra help from others, we tire so much more easily than when we were younger that conserving energy is important.
• If you cannot make the walk to the airport gate, order a wheelchair. You can do this online or by phone. Be sure to do so for both departure and arrival airports, and do it even if you are capable of walking but are slow or it wears you out. It's fair to do that.
• If you can afford it, pay for seats closer to the entry area of the plane, especially if walking is difficult.
• In fact, if you can afford it, consider business class or first class. For me, it's out of the question but if you can...
• If you don't drive, there are the usual car services for hire to and from airports, but also check your town for medical transport in your area. Often it is free.
• If you need wheelchair or other help, plan to arrive early at the airport.
• Although it is expensive, some airlines have concierge services to help people with disability needs from curb arrival through security and to the gate. Others usually allow one caregiver to be with you to the gate.
• Don't be shy, when boarding begins, to move to the line when they ask for those who need help to board first.
• Bring your own food – what's for sale is awful and mostly unhealthy. I took some cheese, whole wheat crackers, Rainier cherries and grapes to nibble throughout the flight.
• Wear layers or bring a blanket. Airlines no longer supply blankets in economy class and for some reason the planes are always chilly
• When using wheelchair services, be sure to have some cash for tips.
These thoughts are from my own experience, from watching others at airports and some common sense. I'm sure you have even more good ideas on how to make flying easier for elders.
At The Elder Storytelling Place today, Mary Mack: Countless Words
Posted by Ronni Bennett at 05:30 AM | Permalink | Email this post
Al-Qaeda take note: Ronnie says all you have to do to get past security is pay extra for your tickets. Just kidding. I think it was more of a matter of your seniority that got you special privileges.
Those are great tips, Ronni. The only thing I would ad has to do with luggage. I try to stuff everything I'll need into a roller case to carry on. This not only saves the luggage charge but also saves the time and hassle of retrieving it at arrival.
I've always been able to get help hefting it into the overhead. Folks are happy to help a sweet old lady. If the plane is of the smallish type, they will check the bag at the door and place it near the exit area at arrival for free.
Oh, regarding seat selection... For flights longer than a couple of hours, I try to get an aisle seat so I can easily get up to stretch, etc. And don't forget to stretch, wriggle and otherwise stimulate circulation in your legs to avoid blood clots on long flights.
I got the fast lane treatment on my last flight as well. Nice surprise. I don't think it's a random call, though. The agents probably have protocols that include little old ladies, at least I hope that's the case because I'm heading for "the place that speaks to my soul", No. California, in the Fall.
I'm looking forward to your reports on new electronics useful to elders. My failing eyesight will require a lot of help soon. I'm already availing myself of tools imbedded in computers, tablets and smart phones that help make screens readable.
A rolling carryon bag with 4 wheels that roll without resistance over all surfaces. (Some of them are difficult to maneuver over carpet) Try them out before purchasing one. (I tried several at Macy's). Pushing this roller at my side helped me walk easily and quickly through a very big airport. Also a small lightweight crossover style handbag to hold tickets, ID, etc for easy access.
In the last few years I have seen signs posted in the security lines stating that people 75 and older do not have to remove shoes, etc. I have a friend who enjoyed that privilege, and I will be able to do so on my next trip!
I live in fear of my next flight. I haven't flown in eleven years and don't expect to again until a death in the family requires it (4 siblings and their spouses live 800 miles away). That will make any flight extra stressful. I'm heavier than I was (and seats are smaller), totally unfamiliar with today's security requirements, badly out of shape for dashing around airport concourses, have never rented a car, etc. I hope but don't expect people to help an older woman get through all that. Dread, dread, dread ...
I too was pulled out of line and directed to the fast track lane when I flew a couple of months ago. I had not purchased more expensive seating. I think it had to do with having gray hair and being female.
I travel very often. I recommend :travel with only a light cabin luggage, take the strict necessary only, VERY IMPORTANT wear special stockings bas de contention, have an interesting pocketbook which you can left behind, it makes shorter the waiting time, take an empty bottle and fill it with water after the controls because it is better to avoid deshydratation
I have been making use of a wheelchair since I broke my hip and standing became painful. I do not have to pay extra for front seats. Wheelchair users are boarded first and they are given a seat in the first two rows. More people are signing up for wheelchairs and if there are too many being boarded before me it forces me to sit in the second row and that's hard for me because I need to stretch my leg if it becomes painful.
I never take a flight if I have to change planes now because being trapped in a wheelchair is not pleasant if you have several hours between planes. Not only are the chairs uncomfortable, but if you need to use the restroom you are stuck.
I always carry at least six $5 bills before traveling to tip the person that pushes me around the concourse.
One trip I had a $20 and a $5 bill folded up in my wallet. I took the wrong one out and gave the helper a $20 tip. I bet I made their day. After that I checked the denomination first. ;-)
I wear a jacket or sweater when I fly to avoid being cold.
If you have the time, take the train, and get a sleeper. I look forward to my train trips.
I've been given the TSA Pre-screening check-in the last several times I've flown (in the past 3 months). What a nice surprise! I'd assumed it was because of my age (over 60), but maybe not. Here's a link to the FAQ page of the TSA-Pre Program web site:
I travel frequently from Tucson and usually get the "special random treatment" due, I am sure, to my white hair. All of the above hints are really great and I have used all at some time. I check a larger roller bag with everything I might need in it. My empty purse goes in that bag and I use a small roller bag while in flight. It contains my computer, Kindle, Medications, contents of my purse and small gifts for the grandsons who will meet me at the airport. This bag fits under the seat and I don't have to carry it or be concerned about my laptop, or meds getting lost. Protein bars are easy to handle and pack as are dried fruits. If you can, stick in a tooth brush and travel tube of tooth paste. I will sit anywhere, but usually prefer a window seat as I slways need to change planes on cross country flights and use the restrooms in the airport. Changing planes also allows me to stretch my legs and move around.
Go to TSA website posted by Marsha above. Enter security and age in search box. You will see guidelines for those 75 and older.
Do NOT assume because you're older and female that you 'll be treated any better. I and about a dozen other ladies filling that description were pulled out of the queue at Spokane Airport some years ago and frisked thoroughly. After some minutes I reached towards my handbag for a tissue and a voice bellowed "Move away from the bag ma'am!"
We must have filled the description of a suspect at the time. My husband looked on from a distance with some amusement!
Great hints Ronni, I have given up on flying and have opted for the train or driving instead as I do have the time for it. I have COPD and sometimes the O2 levels are not sufficient for me on a plane, and I get what amounts to altitude sickness aboard. If I had to fly I could rent a portable oxygen kit and can take it aboard. I believe you have to make arrangements ahead of time though.
One more discovery via my husband. Before our last trip, when my husband was planning the plane tickets, he discovered that if one flies on Monday first class was the same as coach and no baggage fees. Delta. And too, we went through the no check lines. I too had been truly dreading this flight as our previous flights had been so bad. First class goes through the easy lines. First class get's fed too. All the way across country - free. We will fly Delta on Monday's from now on.
I load my backpack with laptop, snacks, small toiletries, anything valuable. Backpack is tucked under my seat and used as a footstool.
Neat for petites!
As someone who flies back and forth PDX to NYC, and often Newark...I live on the West Side, 43rd & 9th. I like the red-eye with no stops. Nothing like getting to the Portland airport late at night (yes it will be way past your bedtime) Last time I had a salad a drink and watched the Academy Awards before getting on Jet Blue and sleeping or watching something. And talk about that view of NYC at 6am in the morning. After a quick nap, if even, I'm ready for the city. Coming from NYC, I like to go to Seattle, (more non-stops), visit friends and take the train down to Portland. It's beautiful.
I also had the easy check-in from TSA. I think they have so much to worry about that gray haired ladies with records of safe travel and retiring lives get the go ahead. I would recommend that you bring slipper socks if you need to take off your shoes to get more comfortable.
This post has some good information both from Ronni and from many of the commenters. I long ago flipped off the airlines because of the draconian Homeland Security rules which, to my knowledge, have not caught more than a half-dozen possible--possible--terrorists while imposing intrusive and invasive procedures on millions of helpless and hapless passengers. Like Jane and Celia, I take the train because since retirement I DO have the time and fortunately can afford a private cabin.
But the advice in the post was valuable in case I ever have to get somewhere fast, although in truth, once you factor in the trip to an out-of-town airport, lengthy waiting and check-in times, plus more time to connect with ground transportation and finish your trip, you haven't saved nearly as much time as you thought you would. Further, even my numerous job related cross-country trips back in the pre-TSA days were uncomfortable and exhausting after the airlines stopped treating passengers like guests and began herding us on and off with only a bag of peanuts to allay our hunger---and a glass of something if you paid for it. So, although I was heartened by the news that my white hair and cane would finally have some benefit, air travel sounds almost as bad as I thought it would be.
The alternative, Amtrak, may not be perfect, but booking a cabin puts you in first class and gives you a number of perks, including very good meals in a pleasant white tablecloth, china and glass (maybe not crystal) setting. Random seating almost always places you with interesting meal companions, and train culture requires that you converse as if you've been friends for life. The scenery is awesome and you can move around at will. Sleeping on a train is heavenly. Even on a short trip, the coach seats are very comfortable and you can still take advantage of the dining car and the club car at reasonable costs. And with all that, you still get where you're going relaxed and unrumpled.
My personal experience with trains---and I have had a lot, although not for a few years---is that Amtrak staff are personable, efficient, and frequently train buffs like their passengers. It's like a club and regardless of diversity in other areas, we all seem to have our love of trains in common. The only drawback to train travel is that it's not as universally available as it once was before freeways took over this country. But I have hope that even politicians are beginning to see the light and that someday train travel in the U.S. will be as ubiquitous as it is in Europe and Asia. Our (California) Governor is pushing high speed rail funding for the inland corridor. And Ronni, if you have business or friends on the West Coast the Starlight or Daylight will get you from downtown Portland to points north or points south in total comfort.
As well as layered clothing for the chilly planes, taking a sarong is good as a blanket or a makeshift pillow.
Glad your travels were hassle free.
Sven and I traveled to Sweden last month. There were no aisle seats left and Sven had considerable leg pain upon arrival. But what I want to report on is our return to the USA, via Logan. No special line for seniors, or even young women with exhausted babies at Security. It took us a half hour of waiting to get to the front. I was totally disgusted. There should be a priority lane, don't you think? Only three counters were open, with five airplanes arriving at once. No thought for the American passengers. I guess for foreigners, it was even more of an ordeal. But I think seniors need to speak up. Sven refuses to let me push him in a wheelchair. But then he suffers for days after the flight. Hope you had fun in NYC.
Ronni, forgot to comment on yesterday's "Week in Manhattan, Part Two" about the photo of you sitting on the park bench with your friend: you look GREAT!
This is great. My name is "Annie". Granny Annie and I posted today about the fact that in August I am flying for the first time since 1999. I have not flown at all since 9/11 and all the security changes. Now you have really got me to thinking!! Thanks Ronnie.

Manny (Ray Romano), Sid (John Leguizamo), and Diego (Denis Leary) may have made it through the big freeze, but when the ice begins to melt, the heroic trio must warn the other inhabitants of their peaceful valley of the coming flood in directors Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha's sequel to the computer-animated 2002 hit Ice Age. As the ice age winds to an end, the animals of the Earth have taken warmly to the melting paradise that surrounds them. Despite the false comfort of a lush valley teeming with vegetation, however, great danger looms just over the horizon. When Manny, Sid, and Diego realize that the miles of liquefying ice overlooking their valley will soon turn from a gentle trickle to a violent force of nature capable of destroying anything and everything unfortunate enough to be in its path, they quickly set out to spread the word and get their endangered friends out of harm's way. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
A team of "sub-zero heroes" band together to save a human infant in this digitally animated feature from Oscar-winning director Chris Wedge, whose unique lighting software (called "Ray Tracing") sets his visual style apart from earlier CGI efforts. Twenty thousand years ago, the Earth is overrun by freezing temperatures in an Ice Age that is sending all manner of critters scattering in the path of encroaching glaciers. When a lost human infant is discovered, an unlikely quartet of misfits forms to return it to its mother: Manny, a depressed woolly mammoth (Ray Romano); Sid, a fast-talking sloth (John Leguizamo); an acorn-crazed squirrel named Scrat (Wedge); and the devilish saber-toothed tiger named Diego (Denis Leary). Before they can complete their mission, the reluctant compatriots will brave pits of boiling lava, dangerous caverns of ice, and even a traitorous plot within their midst. Ice Age (2002) also features the voices of Jack Black, Jane Krakowski, and Goran Visnjic. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
CG animators Michael Thurmeier (who worked on Ice Age and its sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown) and Chris Renaud (who worked on Meltdown), pull a character from that franchise for their 7-minute animated short No Time for Nuts. That film finds Scrat, the acorn-obsessed squirrel from the first picture, digging through the ice to bury a nut - and happening upon a time machine instead. Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Today (May 29th) only, Nordstrom is having a special where you can purchase two mascaras [from the same brand] and get a third free [of the brand's top selling mascara]. It only applies to certain mascaras, which you can see here. Even though it says only applicable to certain brands, all the major mascara contenders are included — Chanel, Dior, Lancome — along with Bare Escentuals, Bobbi Brown, Chantecaille, Clarins, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Guerlain, Laura Mercier, MAC, NARS, Shiseido, Smashbox, Trish McEvoy, YSL and more.
Heads up, though — I think doing this in-store will yield you more variety. Just like when Nordstrom did buy 2 eyeshadows, get 1 free for MAC, you could only get the same shade for free online, but in-store, you could choose. I haven't been to Nordstrom (hey, it's 7am!) today, so I couldn't tell you myself, but you could always call and ask before making the trip over, too. Funny enough, I don't think there is any mascara I'd be willing to commit to with 2-3 tubes, haha.
Discussion and debate are highly encouraged, and we expect community members to participate respectfully. When asking a question, please check the FAQ section (above) for information about purchasing, price, dupes, and the like. If you have general feedback or need technical support, please contact us.
Comments that include advertisements, self-promotion, insults, etc. may be in violation of our comment policy and subject to deletion. Please see our comment policy for more information.

DUP Criticizes Conservative Group for Its Greed for Power
| Pyongyang, May 31 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Democratic United Party of south Korea (DUP), an opposition party, called a press conference at the "National Assembly" building on May 29 to denounce the conservative group greedy for power.
Recalling that the "Saenuri Party" led by Park Geun Hye laid its foundation with the forces praising the military coup staged by Park Chung-Hee, the spokesman said:
All those involved in it are the guys who glutted themselves and dressed gaudily by dint of power in the period of military dictatorial regime. Their return to power would be another tragedy, political tragedy.
It is the people's thought that unfortunate past should not be made to repeat, the spokesman noted, calling for not allowing those praising dictatorship to take power.

Cold River Road property may finally get clearedBy SANDI SWITZER
Correspondent | March 29,2013
Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo The house on the Frederick property off Cold River Road in Clarendon has been vanacnt for seeveral years. Plans are in the works to demolish the building. 03/28/13CLARENDON An unsightly Cold River Road property that has generated widespread complaints for decades is finally get cleaned up.
David Fucci and Ted Hubbard have extended an offer to the town to remove garbage and debris strewn around the Marion Frederick property, according to municipal officials.
They volunteered to go in there and clean up the trash, take the trailer out and remove the piles by the outbuilding, Select Board Chairman Michael Klopchin said.
The Clarendon Select Board on Monday approved the request as long as the property owner who they said was in a nursing home agreed with the plan. The board further agreed to spend up to $600 in tipping fees for the removal of the trailer.
According to municipal officials, Fucci and Hubbard approached the landowner and a relative with the offer and secured written permission for clean up.
Treasurer Rebecca Mandolare characterized the offer as such a great gift to the town and she suggested the tipping fee come from the towns contingency fund.
Board members noted the municipality could recoup the expense at some point if the property were to be sold as a result of delinquent taxes totaling $4,376.
However, officials feared no one would bid on the property, which includes a house and outbuilding along with the trailer. They indicated it was widely believed no septic system was on site and no possibility for one to be installed making future occupancy unlikely.
The owner could request a tax abatement on those grounds, according to Mandolare.
If abated, we could move to tax sale and maybe an abutter would want it, she said.
Once all the garbage and trailer were removed, grants could become available to cover the $30,000 cost to remove the house, according to officials. There were some concerns the structure would eventually fall into a nearby river.
Klopchin said the state would want it to be turned into green space such as a fishing access if funds were awarded for the project.
Municipal officials stressed the town would take matters step-by-step with the first step being the clean-up of the site. Were just helping them make the connections, Mandolare said.
Klopchin noted citizens had been complaining about the property since he was first elected to the towns Select Board in the 1990s.

Slime moulds, strange organisms which have characteristics of both plants and animals, could help researchers to grow the genetic material needed to produce new vaccines. Australian researchers have managed to grow genetic material in a slime mould six times faster than they can clone the genes by conventional methods.
In their search for a vaccine against a group of viruses which commonly causes gastroenteritis, Keith Williams, a biologist and head of the Macquarie University Centre for Analytical Biotechnology in Sydney, has turned to the humble slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum to grow the genetic material. Gastroenteritis is widespread in developing countries, where poor sanitation enables rotaviruses - so-called because of their wheel-like shape - to spread through infected water and food, causing illness and diarrhoea in infants.
Until now the basic approach has been to isolate genes for particular rotavirus proteins, clone them and insert them into animal cells. The cells ...

Uganda's sources of foreign exchange are drying up on nearly every front, posing a significant risk to the country's balance of payments position, said Dickson Magecha, Forex Trader at Standard Chartered Bank in a statement.
Magecha said the trend would further lead to the depreciation of the shilling against the foreign currencies especially the US dollar, hence leading to a rise in the cost of doing business.
Forex experts expect the shilling to weaken further in the coming sessions partly due to the central bank's loose monetary policy stance, the economic impact of aid freezes slapped on the government in response to graft scandals and anticipated dollar demand from the corporate sector. The Central Bank maintained its CBR at 12% for the month of January on Jan. 4.
The shilling weakened further against the dollar on Jan. 5 trading due to continued dollar demand from manufacturers, oil companies and commercial banks. At close of business on Friday, commercial banks quoted the local unit at 2710/20 levels weaker than Wednesday's of 2700/10 levels.
Magecha said the highest-profile incident in recent months was the decision by the European Union and various member states including the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Ireland, to suspend aid to Uganda following reports of serious misuse of donor funds. As a result the government says its planned 2012/2013 public spending will fall short by $260 million.
Meanwhile, the decline in yields on government debt (in line with the loosening monetary policy of the Bank of Uganda), will suppress international portfolio investment over the near term, further constraining the country's supply of foreign exchange. In addition, the most recent data provided by the Uganda Coffee Development Agency on coffee revenues is also discouraging. As of October, the end of the 2011/12 growing season, volumes had declined by 16.9% on a year-on-year basis, while revenues dropped even further, by 23.9%.
Hence we expect the shilling to continue on the current depreciating trend with official support from the central bank expected to slow down /smoothen any volatile moves.

Men Are 4 Times More Likely To Get Struck By Lightning Than Woman
Either lightning is attracted to testosterone, or men spend an inordinate amount of time outdoors swinging metal objects about. Men are struck by lightning four times more often than women.
According to a study entitled "Demographics of U.S. Lightning Casualties and Damages from 1959 - 1994," by Ronald L. Holle and Raúl E. López of the National Severe Storms Laboratory and E. Brian Curran of the National Weather Service, males account for 84% of lightning fatalities and 82% of injuries.
Men can take comfort in the fact that the actual number of deaths and injuries from lightning strikes has decreased in the past 35 years. Holle's team attributes 30 percent of the decrease in lightning deaths to improved forecasts and warnings, better lightning awareness, more substantial buildings, and socioeconomic changes. They attribute an additional 40 percent to improved medical care and communications.

Where It's At
Welcome to the all new Best Week Ever blog. A site so new it still has that new blog smell. Enjoy it.
Bookmark us now. This isn't the old BWE– this version is newer and prettier (which is exactly what Haylie Duff's parents said when Hilary was born, by the way.) If you look on the side you'll see we have Games for you to play, Upgrade/Downgrades for you to vote on, a Store for you to shop in, links for you to check out, and a whole lot more. We also have a new interactive feature called Drop It, where you can be a part of BWE.tv by submitting your favorite stories, links, photos and videos. Take a look.
So have fun playing around with the new site and let us know what you think. We're in this together people– let's make it happen.
While You Were Waiting To Launch
- Kevin Costner has been named in a recent case involving soliciting sex during a massage at an upscale hotel. Rumour has it he wanted someone to undo his Dragonfly and have a Field of Dreams on his Untouchables.
- Mick Jagger recently refused President Bush's request to "Gimme Shelter" in the hotel room the rock legend had already booked. Goes to show, you really can't always get what you want (but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get Embassy Suites).
- Britney Spears is concerned that her infant son might suffer long-term brain damage resulting from a series of falls. I'm no doctor, but considering his genetics, I think heavy blows to the head could only help at this point.
- Jackass Steve-O is reportedly having financial troubles. You mean getting drunk and eating your own feces on television isn't a guaranteed way to pave the road to long-lasting economic security?
- Friendly word of advice: Don't f*ck with Chuck Sheen. Or he will have you Sheened.
Is Richie Sambora Having the Best Week Ever?
That's a no brainer. Hell yeah! Here are the top five reasons why he's having a nice day:
1) Richie hasn't made the cover of a magazine since his hair hung down to his lower back and today he's on the cover of People and the talk of Tinseltown. Why? because he recently divorced his ex-wife Heather Locklear.
2) oh and Denise Richards likes to straddle him on patios.
3) Look at her midsection and then look at his.
4) While he's rebounding with a Playboy model, 10 years his junior, his ex-wife is nursing her wounds with David Spade. Sure we love him, but he's not exactly a slap in the face.
5) He's finally out of John Bon Jovi's looming (feathery-haired) shadow, because you know what? Richie's a cowboy too.
GAMES: It's Cuervo Season!
As the ticking clock at CuervoSeason.com indicates, we're just 10 days away from the time of year that
historians alcoholics have declared to be Cuervo Season. Check out the site now; not only does it star Best Night Ever's Jason Zumwalt, it also has a couple of pretty funny segments and a cool little game. A game which I'd imagine would be much harder to master after a few shots of Cuervo. Play it here!

SIZZLER: Is Britney Spears Smoking A Joint?
The Superficial posted a picture today that raises so many questions: Is that Britney Spears? Is she smoking a joint? Is she smoking a joint with kids half her age? Is she smoking a joint with kids half her age in a seedy hotel room? And finally, if it really is Britney Spears, isn't nice to see her boobs popping out again like old times?
These are all questions that I have no place in answering… except for the last one. And the answer is Yes.
