Although I'm not certain how many will Apple fans will appreciate and support this idea but it seems Hardmac, the English-language version of France's MacBidouille thinks the iPhone maker will soon be putting up a new line up of iPod Touch and iPod Nano players later this September with a camera like that of the iPhone.
Yes a camera can be handy from time to time, but this isn't really a function thats popular among portable music players. You can also argue that there aren't many users with iPods that don't also have a mobile phone with a camera.
We're very jealous, the folks over at Pocket-Lint recently got to play with the Acer Aspire Revo nettop which should already be out in the shops near you (since 5th of May). The Aspire Revo nettop is unique as its one of the first of its class to be equipped with new Nvidia ION chips allowing its Intel Atom powered core to display 1080p footage as well as playing games in 3D.
As you will see in the pictures, if you opt for the third option with a pricetag of £299.99 (options here). You'll get to mount your Aspire Revo onto the back of your PC monitor using its VESTA mount and receive a wireless bar shaped game pad (will cost about £50 on its own) which looks much like that of the Wii's.

This is definitely the world's first. The Spanish technology company iUnika announced last week a series of lightweight and eco-friendly netbooks. While it must be admitted that these are not suited for those keen on gaming, the GYY netbooks would just about do everything else the average user requires.
To hit the European market this summer, in June. The netbooks come with a low energy demanding 400MHz CPU, 128MB of RAM, an 8-inch screen a max resolution of 800×400 and a 64GB SSD drive. Although the iUnika GYY netbooks don't seem to be capable of pushing out much juice, one thing is for sure, it does have quite a large capacity of memory for a netbook.
We will still need to confirm whether this will be a Japan exclusive. But for 398,000 Yen (that's €3080, £2758 or $4180) the latest in technology 19.5mm x 25.5mm Toshiba Dynabook SS RX2/WAJ sports a Core 2 Duo SU9400 (1.40GHz) processor, 3GB of RAM, Intel GS45 Express, DVD Super Multi and a 12.1" WXGA LCD and a 512 GB SSD (may be that's what the price is for?). Of course, along with this price tag you will also get WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, etc. According to Toshiba, this massive 512 GB SSD runs eight times faster than a 5400rmp 2.5" HDD.
Designed for phones like the iPhone, iPod Touch and other popular mobiles like BlackBerrys, the iZel cell phone stand is a multifunctional mobile phone stand. Great for supporting landscape and portrait mode, just snap here and snap there and you've got a stand in seconds. Though the iZel is made of grippy material, it still looks as if the iPhone in the video can easily fall off, thus I'm not too convinced in that respect.

The clip back at the office from Wedding Crashers (2005) with Vince Vaughn Now bunch those panties up into a little ball. Put that little ball right in your mouth. Oh, that's good. Hang up the phone. Okay, and I will definitely call you back later then. Come on, wrap it up. Talk to you soon. Thank you, Larry. What the fuck? You can't knock anymore? I know how I can get to her. What? I know how I can get to Claire. Oh, John, you gotta drop this thing. I'm... I can't do this anymore with you, okay? It's been several months, and you haven't heard anything from her. She hasn't returned your phone calls, she's never responded to one of your letters, she didn't respond to the candygram. Right. God knows what happened to the little kitten that you got her. Because she didn't keep it and I know you're not raising that goddamn thing. I think it's very obvious at this juncture that she just flat out does not wanna see you. I disagree. Now look, they're having the engagement party for her tonight at the beach club. We're going at 7:30. I'm not g... John, I can't... Okay okay, listen to me, Tasmanian devil. Listen to me. I can't go. Why? 'Cause I can't go, because I have a schedule. Because I have... What is your deal? What is your problem? For the past couple of months you've been a ghost. I can't find you anyplace, and now I come to you with an idea, I put myself on the line, you shoot it down with your negativity. Your goddamn negativity! I don't need it! I'm an idea man. I thrive on enthusiasm. Don't take the wind out of my sails. I need you. Buddy, you know I love you, and I hate to see you like this, but we gotta look at reality here. There's gonna be Secret Service at this thing. They have pictures of us. There's not a shot in hell we can get into this thing. You're so cautious. I'm more of a risk taker. I'm two steps ahead of you and 10 steps ahead of Secret Service. Oh, yeah. 46 extra long, baba ganoush special. We're waiters! Buddy, for your own good, you gotta let this thing go. Now, I'm gonna meet you there at 7:30, okay? Okay.

Worm evolution represents an excellent means of understanding the evolution of a body cavity. Using only the following phyla of worms (nematodes, annelids, platyhelminthes, nemetera, hemichordates), construct a phylogenetic tree that is only based on the form of body cavity (refer to figure 32.2 and table 32.2 for assistance). How does this relate to the material in figure 32.5? Should body cavity be used as the sole characteristic for classifying a worm?
figure 32.2
THREE BODY PLANS FOR BILATERALLY SYMMETRICAL ANIMALS. Acoelomates, such as flatworms, have no body cavity between the digestive tract (endoderm) and the musculature layer (mesoderm). Pseudocoelomates have a body cavity, the pseudocoel, between the endoderm and the mesoderm. Coelomates have a body cavity, the coelom, that develops entirely within the mesoderm, and so is lined on both sides by mesoderm tissue.

In Brief: Hospitals coping better as drug shortages persist
Hospitals coping better as drug shortages persist
U.S. hospitals are coping better with ongoing shortages of hundreds of medications, but a new survey indicates obtaining those drugs from alternate sources is costing them hundreds of millions of dollars.
Premier Inc., the hospital group that did the survey, conservatively estimates that cost at $230 million a year for the country's 5,000 hospitals. That doesn't include costs for additional workers or overtime hours for staff searching for scarce drugs, as well as some other extra costs, which come out of hospitals' already razor-thin profit margins.
Shortages of drugs, particularly generic injectable drugs that had been cheap, have escalated since 2005. While the number of new shortages has declined recently, the total of new and prolonged shortages keeps climbing. Causes include quality problems, recalls and the small number of manufacturers.
UK spies intercept webcam pics, nudity
Britain's signals intelligence division is stealing screenshots from hundreds of thousands of innocent Yahoo users' webcam videos, according to the Guardian newspaper, which also reported that the years-long operation has swept up a huge haul of intimate photographs.
The newspaper said GCHQ has been scooping up the sensitive images by intercepting video chats such as the kind offered by Yahoo Messenger, an effort codenamed Optic Nerve. It's not clear how many Yahoo users were spied on in this way. The Guardian said that in one six-month period in 2008 GCHQ intercepted the video communications of 1.8 million users.
NHTSA launches probe into GM recall
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched a probe into why General Motors Co. did not promptly recall more than 1.6 million vehicles after it learned that faulty ignition switches were causing fatal crashes.
The investigation is likely to result in hefty fines for the automaker.
GM recalled the vehicles in two phases this month even though documents filed with the federal safety agency demonstrate that the automaker first learned of the problem in 2004.
Investigators will "determine whether GM properly followed the legal processes and requirements for reporting recalls," the agency said.
The GM recall covers the 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007 Pontiac G5, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR, 2006-2007 Pontiac Solstice and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles.
GM issued a second apology Thursday and said it will cooperate with the NHTSA.
"We deeply regret the events that led to the recall and this investigation," the automaker said in a statement. "We intend to fully cooperate with NHTSA and we welcome the opportunity to help the agency have a full understanding of the facts. "
Expansion planned at Maker's Mark distillery
The producers of Maker's Mark bourbon have announced a distillery expansion to keep pace with growing demand for the Kentucky whiskey.
The $67 million expansion announced Thursday comes about a year after the brand caused a stir. In early 2013, the whiskey known for its bottles sealed in red wax announced it was cutting the amount of alcohol in each bottle to stretch supplies. After backlash from customers, Maker's Mark quickly scrapped the idea and restored the alcohol volume to its typical level.

On Tap Today: It's cold again and there's stuff to do
It's nearly the end of the first month of this brand new year. We're pretty sure that means you can't wish someone "Happy New Year" or fiddle with those resolutions after tomorrow. In any case, it's a good time to offer good wishes and look over those annual goals one last time (if you haven't blown them already).
One of our goals is to be a great source for what's going on. And so let's look at what's on the agenda today. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Alaska Summer Reading Program
Each summer, public libraries in Alaska host summer reading programs designed to promote, encourage and support literacy; while also keeping students reading. These summer reading programs recognize that students need to practice reading if they are going to mitigate and reverse the summer slide. Additionally, these summer reading programs have a positive effect on family literacy, as students involved in summer reading model positive reading behavior. To support Summer Reading, the Alaska State Library is a member of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP).
2016 Summer Reading Program Report & Evaluation
At the conclusion of the summer reading program, librarians complete and submit their summer reading program report and evaluation. The information from these reports help us plan and support future summer reading programs and meet our federal grant requirements.
Surveys are due September 15th, 2016.
How did Alaska do in 2015?
2017 Library Participation Form
If your library would like to participate or continue participating in the Alaska Summer Reading Program, please complete our Library Participation Form.
The Alaska State Library cooperates with the Alaska Library Association each year to sponsor a statewide summer reading program. The Alaska State Library provides a basic starter kit of materials and a summer reading program manual to each library participating in the statewide program.

How to Incorporate a Summer Food Service Program in Your Library
It is a well-known fact that hungry children have a harder time concentrating and learning in school. To combat this learning-loss, schools offer free or reduced lunches to low income children. During the summer these children lose access to these meals. In an effort to help these children, public libraries have started partnering with the Food Bank of Alaska and the Alaska Child Nutrition Program to offer a lunch as part of their summer reading program. Presented on 2/26/2016 by: Dynasti Otis, Child Nutrition Manager for Food Bank of Alaska, Alicia Stephens, SFSP & CACFP At-Risk Specialist for the Alaska Child Nutrition Programs, and Elizabeth Nicolai, Youth Services Coordinator for the Anchorage Public Library.

Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)
Libraries throughout Alaska have begun partnering with the Summer Food Service Program as a way to improve services for underserved children and low-income families. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federally-funded program that provides free, nutritious meals to children age 18 or younger living in low-income areas, or pockets of poverty during the summer months when school is not in session. Below are some helpful resources to get you started:

The Bachelor: Matt Grant Narrows Field to Shayne, Chelsea
Last night on The Bachelor, Matt Grant took all three of the remaining women to Barbados. At the end of their dates, Matt would send one home, leaving only two in the running to be his trophy ex-fiancee.
Matt first met up with Shayne Lamas and they took a spin on some jet skis. They also bounced around on a floating trampoline and took a swim in the ocean. Shayne showed off her splits and straddling skills. Really.

Last decision of the night, til DREAM anyway!
Round 1
Steve Mazzagatti will oversee this light heavyweight main event. The men touch gloves to start. Rossborough takes an outside leg kick and charges forward. Larkin slips out and circles away, launching a leaping round kick that is blocked. Rossborough is smothering him and working his way inside while landing short punches. Rossborough now has the clinch against the cage. Larkin connects with a hard knee to the thigh, but Rossborough lands several of his own. Larkin reverses the position and now has his taller foe against the fence. Larkin is still attacking the legs while Rossborough works the dirty boxing in the single collar tie. They separate, and Larkin lands a leg kick. Larkin blocks several shots with his back against the cage and lands a clean uppercut of his own. Heel strikes to the calf from Rossborough. Rossborough tries for a takedown, but Larkin is relentless with those heel strikes. The pair trade uppercuts in the clinch and separate. Rossborough lands a push kick as the round expires. Sherdog.com sees the round an even 10-10.
Round 2
Larkin opens with a hard low kick and whiffs on a kick upstairs. Rossborough lunges forward and lands a left hook. He tries the same move, but misses the punch. Larkin wings some wild hooks, but nothing lands. Rossborough walks through his punches and pins him against the cage, unleashing a combo of punches and elbows to Larkin's head and forearms. After several moments of inactivity, Mazzagatti restarts them standing. Rossborough is still moving forward, but Larkin digs in a hard leg kick again. Rossborough pushes forward and clinches again. Larkin spins out and lands a two-punch combination to the guts and then a sharp leg kick. Rossborough pushes forward and clinches against the cage with only a minute to go in the round. Both men land punches and elbows in the clinch, but Rossborough seems to be getting the better of the exchanges. Larkin briefly takes Rossborough's back standing and drags him to the mat as the horn sounds. 10-9 Larkin.
Round 3
Rossborough eats a pair of kicks, but he walks through them and starts roughing Larkin up with short punches. Larkin appears to be on the proverbial ropes, but he ends all that with one perfectly-placed knee to Rossborough's body. Rossborough collapses to his back, but Larkin cannot finish. Rossborough stands. Larkin goes back to the body with a straight shot, but his man won't go away. The fight hits the floor, with Larkin ending up in top position. Working from guard, Larkin is dropping short elbows to the body with punches to Rossborough's face. Ninety seconds left, and Larkin plasters an elbow across Rossborough's grill. Rossborough is in desperation mode now, fishing for an armbar from his back. A gash has opened on Rossborough's forehead, but he's still trying for that armbar. Larkin jerks his arm out, however, passing to side control and dropping more elbows. Rossborough manages to sit up, but he's getting the worst of it while covered in his own blood. 10-9 Larkin (30-28 Larkin).
Official scores: Two judges see the bout 30-27, and a third offers a score of 29-28 all for the winner by unanimous decision, Lorenz Larkin.

US court to rule on historic case
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to deliver its ruling on President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare overhaul.
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court is set to deliver on Thursday its ruling on President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare overhaul, his signature domestic policy achievement, in a historic case that could hand him a huge triumph or a stinging rebuke just over four months before he seeks re-election.
The nine justices are scheduled to take the bench at 10am on the last day of the high court's term to read their final opinions, including their decision in the epic legal battle over the healthcare law.
The U.S. healthcare system's biggest overhaul in nearly 50 years, the law aimed to provide medical insurance to more than 30 million previously uninsured Americans and to slow down soaring medical costs. The United States spends more on healthcare than any other nation, but about 50 million of the roughly 310 million Americans have no insurance at all.
Obama seeks re-election on 6 November against Republican challenger Mitt Romney, who has called for scrapping the law and replacing it with other measures even though he championed a similar approach at the state level as Massachusetts governor.
Republicans and Democrats alike eagerly awaited the ruling and were sure to try to use the court's decision, whatever it may be, to their political advantage in the coming months.
A key component of the law was challenged by 26 of the 50 states and by a trade group for small businesses on the grounds that Congress exceeded its powers under the U.S. Constitution by requiring people to obtain insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty.
The justices could uphold the entire law, strike down certain provisions or overturn the whole law in a ruling that could reshape the federal government's powers versus the states.
"If the court invalidates any of the law's provisions, it could be one of the most important federalism rulings from the court - and one of the most dramatic confrontations between the court and the president - since the 1930s," said Daniel Conkle, an Indiana University law school professor.
Obama and his fellow Democrats expended a great deal of energy and political capital in securing congressional passage of the measure over unified Republican opposition. The law is reviled by conservatives, who dubbed it "Obamacare." Critics say it meddles in people's lives and in the business of the states.
The ruling also will be closely watched on Wall Street, with wide ramifications for the health sector. It could affect the stock prices of health insurers, drug makers, device companies and hospitals.
The decision could be a defining moment for Obama's presidency and for Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2005 by then-President George W. Bush. In the past, Roberts often has endorsed more narrow rulings that bridge the ideological differences on the closely divided court.
The nine justices are split ideologically and politically. Roberts and the four other conservatives, who often make up a majority, were appointed by Republican presidents. The four liberals, who often dissent, were named by Democratic presidents, including Obama.
The healthcare battle has been the most politically charged case before the Supreme Court since 2000, when the justices halted the Florida vote recount in a ruling that gave the Republican Bush the presidency over Democrat Al Gore.
About 56 percent of Americans said they opposed the healthcare law in a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sunday. When asked about individual provisions, however, most respondents said they strongly supported them, except for the individual insurance purchase mandate, which was opposed by 61 percent of those surveyed.
On other parts of the law, 82 percent favoured banning insurers from denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions; 61 percent backed letting children stay on their parents' insurance until age 26; and 72 percent supported requiring companies with more than 50 workers to offer insurance.
The Supreme Court's mixed ruling on Monday on Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants could foreshadow a similar conciliatory result in healthcare that does not fall along predictable ideological lines.
The justices upheld police stops of people suspected of being in the country illegally, but struck down three other provisions of the state law in a ruling that left Obama and Arizona's Republican Governor Jan Brewer able to claim partial victories.
The immigration and healthcare cases involved battles that pitted the Democratic Obama administration against Republican-led states and tested where to draw the line in the division of powers between the federal government and the states.
The Supreme Court cases are National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, No 11-393; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services v. Florida, No. 11-398; and Florida v. Department of Health and Human Services, No. 11-400.

To Fly, To Serve – BA J-class 77W/744 NRT-LHR-IAD
Welcome to my trip report, showcasing BA's Club World on the new 777-300ER as well as the 747-400.
I found myself planning for a holiday in Tokyo recently, flying IAD-JFK-NRT, without any firm decision as to how I would get home. As last time I flew home via PDX, clearly the only option was to go the other direction this time for my first round-the-world journey!
Fortunately BA6 NRT-LHR is the new 777-300ER, five of which are in active service with British Airways. I also chose to overnight in London as I had things to do there, in time to catch the BA293 LHR-IAD on a relatively empty 747-400. A delightful plan and one that I was looking forward to.
A few photos from Tokyo for those interested-
Luxurious accommodation-
Enough with my rigmarole, now on to the flights.
British Airways
Flight 6
Boeing 777-36NER
Depart – Tokyo Narita (NRT)
Arrive – London Heathrow (LHR)
Scheduled Departure/Arrival – 1110/1445
Actual Departure/Arrival – 1152/1502
18 January 2012
Club World / Business Class
Seat 16G
I arrived at Narita rather early, as I wanted to do some spotting off the Terminal 2 observation gallery. I have only been to Terminal 1 in the past, so T2 was new to me. I was at the counter early enough that there wasn't much of a queue, despite that the check-in staff were fantastically efficient so it wouldn't have made much difference if there was one.
JAL also has a very nice lounge offering here in the main building, as well as one in the satellite gates.
The airplane arrived from London a bit behind schedule, resulting in a slightly delayed departure.
Boarding was called around 11:30 for those traveling in the First or Club World cabins, or those holding British Airways Gold or Silver cards or Oneworld Emerald or Sapphire cards. As is the case in all BA gates, these passengers use the Fast Track lane while general boarding is usually adjacent to it.
Many BA airports also have a cart inside the jetbridge with newspapers on offer that passengers can take before boarding – here in Tokyo I noted the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Daily Mail, and Japanese-language publications were available.
As I reached the end of the jetway I was warmly welcomed on board my first BA 777-300ER. G-STBB has been in service with BA since August 2010 and, from what I could see, still looks every bit as new as she did when she was delivered.
Now, I must explain a bit – I played musical chairs on this flight. I started in seat 12J, an aisle on the window side of the aircraft, but having noticed that the flight was not very full, I noticed that the two rearward-facing seats in 12EF were open, and asked to move there. The crew member I spoke to was very receptive and I moved before pushback. You will note that the meal photos from this flight were taken from 12E.
Unfortunately the IFE in the middle section of row 16 was acting up, so after the meal service I was asked if I wouldn't mind switching with the family there. As it was a group of four, they would be able to accommodate in the empty seats in row 12 – meaning that I would get four seats to myself, 16D, E, F, and G (and as it happens, 16J across the aisle as well). Sold!
Regardless, I settled into 12E for pushback and taxi. My jacket and waistcoat were taken for hanging as well as a selection of water, orange juice, or champagne offered before leaving the gate. Washbags were also offered, and since this one was a new 2012-issue, I was happy to accept it as I have more 2011 ones than I know what to do with!
Departure was uneventful (other than the brilliant propulsion on the departure roll coming from the twin GE90-115Bs), and lunch orders were taken shortly after takeoff along with a hot towel service. Allow me to share with you the menu from today's flight, so you can create your ideal service; I have noted my choices with the photos below –
Welcome on board
British Airways is proud and delighted to work alongside some of the world's finest chefs and to feature their dishes on board. These have been created for your pleasure and to complement our selection of fine wines.
We've focused on the simplicity of dishes, using locally sourced fresh produce. The menu alters from month to month according to the quality of seasonal ingredients and features various regional specialities from around the world.
Pepper salmon with yuzu dressing
Tricolour cream cheese mille-feuille with white wine jelly (my choice)
Fresh seasonal salad served with vinaigrette

Taittinger Brut Reserve NV Champagne
Champagne Taittinger's origins date back to 1734, and today it is one of the few Champagne Houses to be owned and actively managed by the family named on the label; Pierre Taittinger acquired the House in the early 1930s. Taittinger Brut Reserve characterises the House style, which uses a high percentage of Chardonnay in the blend. Such Chardonnay dominance helps create a style of delicacy and finesse that merits the Gold Medal awarded at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2010. Its lean palate has considerable depth and elegance with a long, fresh finish making it a perfect aperitif.
As part of our 'Height Cuisine' initiative, British Airways is exploring ways to counteract the effects of altitude on your taste buds. The wines on your menu today have been specially selected by our Master of Wine with this in mind to ensure the flavours remain true to their origins. We look for red wines that are full of ripe fruit characters and are well balanced, and whites that are fruity, crisp, and show finesse.
We hope you will enjoy today's selection.
Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey 2009, Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard, Burgundy, France
This is a fine premier cru, dry and crisp, marked by the fresh citrus and ripe apple flavours and the characteristic notes of seashell and freshly cut hay that epitomise Chablis. A medal winner in the International Wine Challenge, it is from a top Domaine undergoing conversion to biodynamic production, hence the ladybird on the label. Brilliant as an aperitif or with any of the starters or fish dishes.
Waimea Sauvignon Blanc 2011, Nelson, New Zealand
You can't turn a blind eye to the quality of Sauvignon Blanc coming from Nelson. This one is the winner of a prestigious Pure Gold award from the Bragato Wine Awards 2011, one of New Zealand's leading wine competitions. Deeply aromatic with notes of white peach, passion fruit, sweet pea, and jasmine, it is vibrant and mouth watering. Do try it with the goat's cheese and other starters.
Les Fiefs de Lagrange 2007, Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France (my choice for the main service)
This is the second wine of the famous Chateau Lagrange that was classified as a Troisieme Cru Classe in the famous 1855 classification. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a pinch of Petit Verdot the 2007 was matured in French oak barrels for 16 months to produce this rich, spicy, cherry, complex red that is ideal with any of the beef dishes we're serving today.
Jim Barry "The Lodge Hill", Shiraz 2009, Clare Valley, South Australia
A huge, rich, spicy red, almost black with lashings of blackberry, cassis and black cherry fruit, and with hints of eucalyptus and mocha, this wine fully merits its Silver Medal in the International Wine Challenge 2011. The cool breezes of the Clare Valley helped provide freshness and a floral perfume. Perfect to savour on its own or with cheese, this Shiraz goes brilliantly, too, with any of the spicier dishes.
And of course, dessert-
Shortly after the service items were collected, I relocated myself to row 16 and rested for a while. I didn't really use much of the IFE (only the moving map), but did take some cabin shots for those interested in the Club World cabin on the 77W.
For those not familiar with the Club World seat, here you see the seat in a lounging position…
…and in bed mode.
In addition, the seat is controlled using the lighted control panel underneath the frosted divider, which comes down or goes up with the touch of a button on top of the partition. The IFE remote is located next to that, and can be removed from the wall if desired. The PTV is released from its locked position using the darker-coloured button underneath; the lighter button releases the tray table which is beneath the PTV. The reading light can be dimmed as little or as much as desired, there is a small tab next to it that can be adjusted. Overall, a fantastically easy seat to use (once you find the button for the divider!).
Before having an afternoon snooze I did visit down the back of the airplane to get a photo of the glorious landscape with our wingtip-
And with that, I returned to my seat to edit some of the photos I had taken in Japan as well as to get some much-needed sleep. Before I knew it we were on descent into London and I had slept through the light meal service! (Not a big deal as I asked not to be woken up for it anyway)
Descent and arrival was relatively fast, we held for about five minutes before entering the approach but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary for Heathrow. This was followed by a rather wet touchdown in a rainy London. We were not given Fast Track cards for immigrations as it is not open when we arrive, but with about a ten minute wait and collection of my checked bag, I was released into the United Kingdom.
Fortunately this time around it was not a long transit to my hotel, as I had taken accommodation at the Sofitel attached to Terminal 5. I had chosen to continue my trip home tomorrow, as I had plans to meet a friend in London and pick up some items there. It was a brilliantly easy transfer from international arrivals to the hotel – just walk down toward domestic arrivals, and exit next to the underground. The Sofitel has a nice walkway all the way to the lobby of the hotel.
I was really pleased with the room, although if one prefers a window facing the outside world you must ask for it at check-in! There are plenty of rooms with windows facing an inside courtyard area much as mine was.
(There's also a bathtub on the other side of the bathroom)
I suppose I will attach a few off-topic photos from my evening in London –
I take a photo of the 2012 countdown each time I am here!
Empty Piccadilly Line back to Terminal 5.
(After a stop at Hatton Cross to take a photo of the Speedbirds!)
While I went into London the next day to finish other business, I didn't bring the camera. I figured I would save the energy to take some lovely photos of the BA293 for you all
Unfortunately my rather short time in London had come to an end and it was back to Terminal 5 with me. Check-in at the Club counters was the usual queue-less affair and I was through security within 15 minutes of having walked up to the bag drop. That's the T5 efficiency I enjoy.
…and airside.
I can even see the London Eye from here.
After some duty-free shopping (and a surprise encounter with fellow a.netter LHR380!) it was off to the gates for some spotting.
The brilliant new 'To Fly, To Serve' advertising campaign is also featured in the terminal.
For those who haven't seen the mass of T5A…
Landor survives!
Brilliant golden colours over England's green and pleasant land as I make my way to my gate this evening.
I proceeded down to gate C61 (yes, all the way at the end) where boarding would be started in moments.

Upper Deck
I was happy to be on board another 747 even though I had flown one on the JFK-NRT leg coming over, and even more so that I would be sitting upstairs on this leg of the journey. Adding to my enjoyment was the light load today, only 18 passengers booked in Club World – meaning that I was one of only 5 on the upper deck (you will see from my photos that the entire group of seats aft of the exit doors remained empty). My jacket was taken at my seat, as well as the usual offering of a pre-departure beverage. I noted that one of the cabin crew working the upper deck is a somewhat regular on the flight to my home airport in Baltimore, so it was nice to see a friendly face!
I took a few photos before boarding was completed. My seat is visible on the right in the first photo, the window seat second from the front of the cabin.
The dinner order was also taken prior to pushback. Below is the menu from our flight this evening-
Height cuisine
We are pleased to present our new "Height Cuisine" menu designed to maximise taste at altitude. We've been taking a long, hard look at dining and drinking in the air, and our team of chefs has set to work to bring you simple, authentic dishes and flavours that work well at 30,000 feet.
We choose the best and freshest products, right in season, and some of our recipes have been specially developed using ingredients that are naturally high in umami* to create the ultimate flavour.
Similarly, our sommeliers and mixologists have been looking for wines that strike the right note, offering you a well-rounded wine list along with some of the world's best spirit brands from the bar.
We do hope you like what you see – but most importantly, we hope you love what you taste.
*Umami is known as the fifth taste after sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. Identified in Japan, umami offers a pleasant savoury taste and occurs naturally in many foods such as seaweed, mackerel, tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
Pheasant, duck, and pistachio terrine with plum and baby onion confit and lightly toasted brioche
Five Mile Dairy Goat's cheese with blood orange dressing (my choice)
Fresh seasonal salad served with vinaigrette
Seared fillet of Herefordshire beef with a Parmesan crust served with celeriac dauphinoise and savoy cabbage
Roasted breast of corn-fed chicken with bread sauce, rich chicken jus, roasted root vegetables, and sautéed Jerusalem artichokes (my choice)
Winter vegetable casserole with spelt pearl barley
Chilled main course salad of Severn and Wye smoked salmon with pastrami spices, red cabbage slaw, and pumpernickel bread
Chocolate and raspberry delice with raspberry coulis (my choice)
Cropwell Bishop Stilton and St-Paulin cheese served with chutney and biscuits (also ended up being my choice!)
A selection of fruit
Club Kitchen
Club Kitchen has been designed for you, as a space where you can come to stretch your legs and help yourself to a little treat or snack during your flight. We offer fresh fruits, chocolates, and snacks. On our long-range flights, sandwiches and soups are available if you are looking for something more warming. You can also choose from a variety of soft drinks to keep your hydrated.

We hope you will enjoy today's selection.
Le G de Chateau Guiraud 2010, Bordeaux Blanc Sec, Bordeaux, France (my choice for the main service)
Dry white from the famous Sauternes estate, which is the only estate in Sauternes to be farmed organically, this is barrel fermented to give richness and body. It shows vibrant floral character and hints of lime, lemon, grapefruit, and even mango and coconut. It is a worthy Silver Medal winner from the Concours Mondial du Sauvignon, and perfect with any of the starters or the fish dishes.
Baileyana Chardonnay 2009, Santa Barbara County, California, USA
Nestled between Santa Ynez and San Rafael Mountains, the Baileyana winery is run by Catherine Niven, wife of one of the region's grape growing pioneers. Ripe, elegant, and well balanced, this top Chardonnay was made by Burgundian-born Christian Roguenant from grapes grown in cool coastal vineyards. It shows gentle, creamy vanilla flavours with fresh stone fruit characters of nectarine and peach and a lingering finish. Great with risotto, pasta, and chicken.
Chateau Leydet-Valentin 2007, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France
Frederic Leydet runs this estate which spans two appellations: Pomerol and Saint-Emilion. It has been in his family since the nineteenth century. His Saint-Emilion 2007 is a blend of predominantly Merlot and Cabernet France with a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is well structured and aromatic, full-bodied and ripe with red fruits, sweet spices and prunes. Ideal with any of the beef dishes we are serving today.
La Crema Pinot Noir 2009, Sonoma Coast, California, USA
2009 was an excellent year for Pinot Noir along the Sonoma Coast, where the long, cool growing season produced wines of great character, depth, and concentration. This one has been aged for seven and a half months in French oak creating a wine with layers of bramble fruits, spices, vanilla, smokiness, and a smooth and refreshing finish. This style of Pinot goes well with fish and with the vegetarian options.
Dessert (the crew was kind enough to give me the cheese in addition to my request for the delice!)-
After the service items were collected we had a generally uneventful flight. The crew walked through the cabin frequently to check on us, although considering there were only five people upstairs I suppose this was an easy task! I did take the opportunity to snap some more photos-
PTV detail-
I really enjoy the Club pillow cases.
My seat(s) this evening-
The author of this trip report, making a fool of himself-
As we began our descent into Washington, my crew acquaintance asked if I would be interested in having a look at the new First cabin. I have seen it before but didn't have my camera handy, so I took the opportunity!
Details in First are the more private seating, as well as a larger PTV among numerous other amenities. I was really impressed with it – hoping to sit there on my next BA flight!
A few more shots from around the Club cabin, this is the 'hidden' J cabin right behind First on the 747. Only 18 seats –
Love the bulkhead-
And back to the upper deck for descent and final approach-
We arrived into Dulles a bit late, around 20:45 and had a quick taxi to the usual gate B42. This is followed by the uniquely-IAD experience of boarding the mobile lounge to Customs! All-in-all, an easy transit and I was curbside around 25 minutes after deplaning.
I swear, I was just here five days ago…
As usual, British Airways made my trip worth the effort – I really don't have anything bad to say about the whole experience. I am a regular BA 767 flyer so to have the new Club product on the 747/777 was a nice refreshment.
Thanks for reading, looking forward to any comments.

Speculation began to swirl that the body was possibly that of Karen Swift, the missing mother of four who was last reportedly seen in the early morning hours of Sunday, Oct. 30. Box would not confirm that it was Swift or anyone else until the medical examiner's office has identified the body and the next of kin have been notified.
"All we can confirm at this time is that we have recovered an unidentified body that will have to be identified by the medical examiner's office," said Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box. "Due to the state of decomposition to the body it will be sent to the medical examiner's office in Memphis. They will compare dental records that we have to Ms. Swift to determine if there is a positive identification."
Swift's 2004 white Nissan Murano, which was found on Millsfield Highway on Sunday, Oct. 30 with a flat tire, has been in Nashville for processing by the TBI. The car was returned to the Sheriff's Department on Friday, Dec. 9; a final report from TBI is still pending. The Sheriff's Department is continuing to evaluate evidence retrieved from Swift's car at this time. TBI has a DNA analyst and a data analyst assisting the sheriff's department with the case.
Karen Johnson Swift is described as:
Age: 44
Race: White
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green
Height: 5' 5"
Weight 138 lbs.
Anyone who has had contact with Swift, recalls seeing anyone near her vehicle since her disappearance, or has information regarding her whereabouts is asked to contact the Dyer County Sheriff's Office at 731-285-2802.

The 76ers knew this day would eventually come, and it occurred later than most predicted.
On Tuesday the Sixers held their first practice of the season after a loss, a resounding one at that.
Following Monday's 110-90 loss to visiting Golden State, in which the Warriors led by as many as 39 points, the Sixers began preparing for Wednesday's visit by the Washington Wizards to the Wells Fargo Center.
"There is no beating around the bush, they beat the hell out of us," forward-center Spencer Hawes said. "You try to limit a season to three or four of those over the course of it, and we got one out of the way early."

Diverting water supplies creates problems
In 40 years, will there be enough water where you live that can support life?
People who once thought they had unlimited water have learned the hard way that it can disappear in the blink of an eye when it is not used sustainably and cooperatively.
Water pollution is often the main reason people give for not having enough water. Often overlooked are the serious problems caused by taking water from one area and moving it to another or using water faster than it can be replenished. When water is removed from a ground- or surface-water source and not directly returned to the same watershed or basin for future use, it is considered a consumptive use.
We must learn from the past disastrous consequences caused by hydrologic consumptive use. If we don't change our ways, we guarantee that the same mistakes will be made again and again with even more dire outcomes.
As you can see from the examples provided, in little more than a generation water is disappearing in many areas where it was once available. There are many rivers that no longer reach the sea, numerous lakes that are shrinking and underground aquifers that are almost empty because people are increasing their consumptive use of water.
Similar water diversion projects are occurring with regularity around the world. Water is moved around to places where it would not otherwise be. Groundwater is pumped and surface water is piped faster than it can be replenished by rain and snowmelt. This diverted water will not return to replenish the source. Rivers and lakes are drying up as water is exported. Fish, wildlife and people that depend on freshwater ecosystems suffer. Fisheries are decimated and local people not only lose their source of drinking water, but they lose the ability to grow food, their livelihoods, health and quality of life.
Droughts are intensifying the effects of these diversions and the vanishing water is fueling tensions between communities, states and countries that share lakes and rivers that cross their borders.
Isn't it time we took stock of water resources and consumptive uses and cooperated on a personal, local, state, national and international level to protect and use freshwater judiciously?
It is the only way to ensure the freshwater that has sustained life for millions of years will be there not just 40 years from now, but for generations to come.
