Vote of the week: The worst airline in America?
Written by Robert Niles
The hot viral travel video of the week has been a Canadian band's smack-down of United Airlines for breaking one of its guitars, and not paying for it.Tweet
This made me wonder... how hard would it be for an airline to say, "New policy: Any baggage handler - or other airline employee - caught throwing luggage will be fired. No exceptions. Just pick it up and place it where it needs to go."
I know I'd go out of my way to book on an airline that instituted this policy. Baggage handlers don't like it? Tough. I'd bet there would be 100 applicants waiting for any job a baggage handler quit or struck over such a policy.
Many of us fly to theme park vacations. (Or for other, lesser obligations, like, say... work.) In your experience, which airline has been the worst for service - whether it's busting your luggage, leaving you stuck on the tarmac, consistently canceling or delaying flights or generally jerking you around? (I'm sticking with the top U.S.-based airlines here. Haters of Ryanair and other non-U.S. carriers are welcome in the comments.)
Let's hear your worst airline horror story, in the comments.
Readers' Opinions
From Anthony Murphy on July 9, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Air Tran.
The worst plane ride I have ever been on with bad seats, literally walk forever to get to the gate, and no pillows.
From Andy Guinigundo on July 9, 2009 at 7:28 PM
This is as difficult a vote as "best roller coaster" in that most of us have not flown all of these airlines to be able to give an opinion.
In reality, they are all a necessary evil - they all suck!
From M. Ryan Traylor on July 9, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Was flying from Burbank, CA to Richmond, VA (via Phoenix and Charlotte) for Christmas one year. The inbound plane for my outbound flight from Burbank could not land due to high winds, even though several other airlines had no problem landing their planes. The plane was diverted to LAX.
All the passengers were instructed to go to baggage claim, re-claim our bags, then pick up a transportation voucher for a cab ride to LAX, where we would catch our flight to PHX.
After a 50 minute ride, we started arriving at LAX and the USAirways reps did not understand why we were there. After trying to explain it to them and telling them to contact USAirways at BUR, they decided to let us through security with out BUR boarding passes. Of course they did not tell security this information immediately.
Then we all get to the gate, at which they decide to re-issue the boarding passes so they all say LAX-PHX. Meanwhile the clock is ticking for all of us to catch the final connections from PHX.
Needless to say, everyone missed their connections, and after an argument with the agents, we all got hotel rooms. The next morning I was on a flight and arrived only 6 hours later than originally scheduled.

I haven't had any major problems with airlines...only Orbitz. I booked a flight home for the weekend. Since I live in a small town, the local airport has an inconvenient schedule. I was supposed to arrive at my home airport and on the return leg drive to a different airport to leave. Anyway, I booked the complicated flight plan on Orbitz...then a couple weeks later, my home airport closed. Instead of notifying me of the change, Orbitz cancelled my whole itinerary without telling me! The only reason I found out was because I found a refund on the credit card (except for the Orbitz booking fee). After numerous calls to customer support both through the airline (US Airways) and Orbitz, it was US Airways gave me a deal using frequent flier miles. I eventually got the Orbitz booking fee back, right after I vowed to never use Orbitz again.
From Raul Araoz on July 9, 2009 at 10:33 PM
I guess I have been lucky in my travels. I have only had one problem in my flying history. Upon returning home from California, I had connecting flights with American. There was a mix-up in Denver and my luggage didn't arrive in New York until the next day. That was the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
I have had a habit of flying airlines that would end up going defunct. My first trip to Florida was on Pan-Am. My subsequent trips were on Eastern. When Eastern disappeared, I flew TWA everywhere. I now happily fly jetblue, so they better watch out.
I feel that the airlines, for the most part, are all adequate. There are inherent problems with the industry that befall all the carriers. However, for the most part, they get the job done.
From Mark Kausch on July 10, 2009 at 1:37 AM
I'd participate, but I can't afford to fly. Which is OK, since I can't afford to go anywhere. [sigh]
From Don Neal on July 10, 2009 at 5:45 AM
I have flown on most of these for business travel which meant a carry on and only having to worry about me, myself, and I. I have had great flights with all of them and I have had terrible flights with all of them. I have had great service and poor service. I can't pick just one that really has been consistent in failing to take care of things or delivering the best experience.
From Randy Clover on July 10, 2009 at 5:57 AM
I was scheduled to fly to Chicago from Kansas City on a Wednesday at 6:50 AM on AA. This was a business tip to meet with one of our export packaging companies. I got an automated call at 11:59 PM Tuesday. The automated message said I had been rescheduled to a 10:30 AM flight. My return flight was at 3:00 PM on Wednesday, which was not changed. The was to arrive at just after noon. Which by the time you get out of the airport, travel through Chicago to the offices, it would have been time to check back in for my return flight. I was furious to say the least. I should mention that this was during the time that AA was canceling fights to fix the wiring, which they failed to properly inspect on their routine maintenance. This was the day of the second go around for flight cancellations. There is no way in my mind that they did not know until 11:59 PM that they were canceling the flight. I called the 800 number they had left, wait time "Over Two Hours." I called Travelocity, whom I had booked through, and asked them to honor their flight guarantee, which says that if your flight is canceled within 24 hours of leaving, they will deal with the airline and get you a ticket on another airline. The lady first told me, in her broken English, "there is nothing we can do." Then she just hung up. I called back, asking to speak to a supervisor, who told me that they could not do anything I could do and I should call the 800 number and wait on the line. I told her that they had an obligation to me, from their guarantee, to do what it takes for them to resolve it. So I made them wait on the phone with AA and call me when they had gotten another plane that would land around the same time as my original or my money completely refunded, including the Travelocity booking charge. I received a call at 4:30 AM telling me that the money would be refunded. Pathetic customer service on both AA's and Travelocity's parts. I have not used or flown with either since.
I have traveled quite a bit, and I would say the best on the list is Southwest(my favorite overall is Singapore Airlines, Houston to Moscow). You don't expect much for a low price fare, but the staff is content and somewhat helpful.
I would like a company like Ryan Air in Europe. Their customer service is terrible, but it is cheap. London to Pisa for $10. Most of their flights are below $50. You pay a cheap price, not much customer service, if fact their customer service complaint line is a 900 number, you pay $2 a min to complain about the service.... But most people I have talked to say they still like it, because you are not paying much, so you don't expect much.
From Tim W on July 10, 2009 at 6:34 AM
Ive been on continental, delta, jetblue, southwest, american, and us airways. Ive got to say us airways and american are the worst flights ive ever been on. Jetblue and southwest are some of the best especially jetblue. Delta isnt that bad in my opinion and neither is continental. However jet blue will remain my favorite for most traveling and southwest for orlando
From Joshua Counsil on July 10, 2009 at 6:50 AM
Air Canada
Any time I can, I avoid flying. Air Canada has a track record with our family. We fly at least once a year with them, and with the exception of one vacation, they have screwed up every time. They almost always lose our luggage. Their flights are almost always delayed.
Sometimes, when we fly in January or February, one of the engines freezes or the wings will have too much frost for takeoff. We're in Canada, damnit, don't they have methods for preventing this?
Once they emergency-landed the plane because a kid dropped his iPod in the toilet, asked a stewardess for help, and they thought it was a terrorist threat.
From Raymond Sydowski on July 10, 2009 at 7:42 AM
I have never had a real problem, besides an hour delay on Southwest once. And that's just to be expected of any airline. Delays happen, and you can't just magic a plane out of thin air.
I generally flew Air Tran and Southwest from Orlando to the Baltimore/DC Metro Area and I can't really complain. They're both budget carriers and as long as you go in with budget expectations, you'll be fine.
From Vincent S on July 10, 2009 at 8:51 AM
I never really had a problem with any airline. And I fly atleast 2 roundtrips a year. I do have a problem with some the TSA security checkpoints. Some of these agents are too stupid (like telling someone in a wheelchair to standup at a checkpoint when they only got 1 leg). YES i seen them do that. And the whole "take off your shoes" thing is the stupidest thing I seen.
From Brian Emery on July 10, 2009 at 9:30 AM
Let me Dumb it down for you all. If I land safely, I am happy with the Airline…
From 126.96.36.199 on July 10, 2009 at 9:38 AM
I've had some horrible flights over the years on American and United, which are made all the worst due to the normally higher costs of those two airlines. Southwest doesn't have a lot of amenities, but the staff is always friendly and the fares are great bargains. My current favorite is Virgin America since they have great low fares, but also nicer seats, a great entertainment system, and much better food.
From 22.214.171.124 on July 10, 2009 at 11:00 AM
where is the "all of the above" option?
From 22.214.171.124 on July 10, 2009 at 11:59 AM
We had booked an 11:58am flight on Delta for Sep 2007 back in Feb 2007. One day in July by chance I decided to check online to make sure everything was ok and noticed that our flight had been moved to a 7am flight.
At the time my youngest was under 2 years old and we were to fly out of an airport whose policy is that you should be there at least 90mins early. I live 45 mins from the airport so I would have to have left my house around 4:30am. I called Delta to explain that this was unacceptable and they told me there was a 12:01pm flight that they could move me to...3 minutes later than my original flight. Luckily we switched.
So I asked them why they didn't notify me and they told me it was their policy to wait until about 30 days before the flight before they notify you. I kept checking and noticed that about 2 weeks after I switched my booking that the flight was full. Had I waited for them to notify me I would have had no choice but to take the early am flight.
I asked why they wouldn't have moved me to the flight 3 mins later and they said since my original flight was in the AM that the system automatically re-books another AM flight...I have flown Southwest in the 4 flights I've taken to FLA since.
From 18.104.22.168 on July 10, 2009 at 1:24 PM
I'm happy to see Air Tran didn't get many votes. We're using them for our flight to Orlando next month, and we've never flown with them before.
From Anthony Murphy on July 10, 2009 at 1:45 PM
I think it depends on what you expect from your airlines and which ones you have actually been on. United and American are pretty high, but I am guessing they are the two popular ones and probably on the higher end.
While I am not a fan of Air Tran, the tickets were still very affordable. I got what I paid for I guess, but when you don't pay much, don't expect much.
From Will Chilcote on July 10, 2009 at 2:21 PM
Worst experience, I can think of was having a suit bag run over by a baggage handling truck. They airline didn't even apologize for doing it. The clothes were pretty messed up.
From Brandon S on July 10, 2009 at 3:01 PM
IMHO, all airlines are horrible and steal your money. They easily get away with it because they found a way to do it legally. That is by charging you so much for baggage. Then, you can't even bring food on, because it's a "bomb hazard". In reality, I just think they just are trying to get you to buy their food. This needs to be stopped.
From 220.127.116.11 on July 10, 2009 at 6:43 PM
We were flying home from Detroit after my Grandmother's funneral on K-mart Air - uh- Northwest. We had boarded, no problem, then they pulled the Jetway away from the plane and we continued to seat there; after about 20 minutes the "voice" came on the speakers saying that there would be a delay in our take -off due to a minor technical difficulty - sound familiar? We continued to seat there and oh yeah it was in August in the late afternoon and the plane was on the west side of the terminal and my family was seating on the west side of the plane. 10 minutes later the AC shuts off and the "voice" says that they need to replace a part and we should be underway shortly, but they need to shut off the AC to conserve the power. By this time the side of the plane is heating up and I'm starting to sweat profusely, the attendants start giving out those small cups of water and ice, trying to make the best of it. After another 30 minutes of this the "voice" explains that the mechanics are working as quickly as they can and they may have to go to the main parts storage to get the needed part. Another 30 minutes and the voice announces that the plane cannot be reconnected with the Jetway as we would lose our take off status and as soon as we are airborn the toilets can be openned up. Oh yeah they have to go to the main parts storage to get the part. Another 10 minutes passes and the "voice" announces that the mechanics have the part and are returning to get it installed. Finally 10 minutes later the "voice" says we are ready to go and are cleared to continue on our way to the runway. That was before the baggage hauler ran into the fuel truck next to the right wing of the plane. No big explosions or anything dramatic. But we had to seat there for another 50 minutes before they moved the vehicles and we could get underway. All for the want of a toggle switch . . .
From Vincent S on July 10, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Brandon S, you can bring food on the plane and pass the check point. And you can bring your own drink on the plane. However with the drinks, the only catch is that you must buy it at a airport store after the checkpoint. And thats the Airport making money, not the airlines.
From Derek Potter on July 11, 2009 at 6:24 AM
It's especially unnerving for a musician to fly with their gear. First, many of us look...let's just say different, than anyone else. Second, we carry strange looking pieces of luggage. Guitar cases, road cases full of pedals and other non-traditional electronic equipment, cymbal bags, and more. Overzealous airline workers can easily get the wrong impression if you know what I mean, so carrying this stuff on isn't really much of an option anymore. When the thousands of dollars of equipment goes into the hands of the airline workers, all one can do is hope that they see it on the other side in one piece...or at all for that matter. Not only is there a show to play or a song to record on the other side, but it's really not cool to find thousands of dollars worth of your stuff either missing or broken.
I would go ballistic if I saw some schmoe baggage handler throwing around a guitar of mine like that. In fact it's likely that I would be detained for being a "terrorist threat" in the terminal while I "talked" to management. The solution for this band? Shockproof foam lined flight cases instead of regular cases. Of course I'm sure that they've already looked into that by now. Better to make things idiot-proof and save the aggravation.
I wonder if United responded to this at all.
From Emily G on July 11, 2009 at 1:46 PM
I won't be voting as have only flown with Continental. I was very impressed by the service. I flew with them in Nov 2007 and in May 2009, both trips were returns from Manchester to New York and all four flights were on time. I was also impressed at how much the planes had been modernised between 2007 and 2009 with meal choices and touch screen movie selection. My mum has also flown with them a few times previously and has also flown with Delta. She found Delta planes to be nicer and more modern at the time, but experienced some longish delays flying with Delta and none with Continental. I have recommended them to friends and would definitley fly with them again.
From 184.108.40.206 on July 11, 2009 at 2:08 PM
220.127.116.11, I had a similar experience with Northwest. This is both an airport and airline story, but Northwest was really awful in this experience.It was August 2005, and I was returning from World Youth Day in Germany. In Dusseldorf going through security, both the girl in front of me and myself had bought the same exact kind of cuckoo-clock and both went through one after the other. Apparently they judged her clock to be fine, but I was taken to a room where my clock was wiped with a little circular cloth, I suppose to test for drugs. They let my clock and I go when it tested negative, and on we went. We flew into Amsterdam on KLM (Northwest's partner in Europe) and the flight was fine, but when we were taken off the plane, half our group got on the first bus to the terminal, where they let us off at a particular place. Of course, the second bus never showed, and we worried about the two. We eventually caught up with them near Customs, where we found out they had been dropped off at another location. When we get to the gate for our flight after customs, we have to answer questions from some US representative, and then go through another special security spot in the gate area. One girl is questioned about her nail care set, as they think she has scissors on it. She has to open everything up to show the scissors aren't there. When we finally get on the Northwest plane to fly to Detroit, it is stifling hot. We are told that they can't turn the air on until they start moving forward, for whatever reason. It seems to take forever, and I stupidly forgot to fill my water all the way before getting on. They move backwards for the longest time until finally, moving forward we get our cool air and the plane takes off. After an uneventful flight, we land in Detroit. Again we go through customs, and again at a security checkpoint (how we would have gotten something inappropriate on the plane after the security checkpoint right at the gate, I have no idea) the same girl is questioned about her nonexistent scissors. Aside from that (and my cuckoo clock friend failing to get one of her stamps), we get through pretty quickly. There are several hours before our flight to Cleveland, so we explore the airport. (I bought a big bottle of water too.) The flight is then delayed several times, until at last it arrives late. We get on the plane pretty quickly, though we are still past the time we should have left. That's when the fun starts again. Some may recall that at that particular time, Northwest mechanics were on strike. So, we are unable to take off because of a problem. I don't know if they said what the whole problem was, but they mentioned the word weld, and that freaked me out. It probably took almost an hour for whatever it was to be fixed, and we were stuck in our seats the whole time, with one water service by the crew. By the time we finally were off and landed in Cleveland, we figured that if we had driven from Detroit after customs, we would have gotten to Cleveland by the time the flight had landed, if not sooner. All in all, it was the most taxing airline experience ever. So in my own experience, Northwest is the worst.
From Rhys Evans on July 12, 2009 at 11:45 AM
I voted for US Air, in that they're now the larger version of America Worst, um, I mean America West. They continue to earn incredibly poor ratings from me everytime I'm on board, and while "pleasure" is surely the wrong word, it seems fitting that "my" choice is on the top of the list as of this writing (or the bottom of the list, depending upon your viewpoint).
From Amy Tupper on July 14, 2009 at 8:27 AM
I can't vote in the poll, but I would say overall US Airways is the worst.
I do, however, have an Airtran horror story. I was flying from Tampa to Portland, ME around Memorial Day weekend a couple of years ago, and we had to switch in Baltimore. Our flight up was on a Thursday. We made it to Baltimore just fine, but thanks to a 20min rainstorm, our flight out to Portland was delayed for a couple of hours and then eventually cancelled. Airtran said they'd rebook us.
On Saturday.
We ended up renting a car and driving the rest of the way to Maine, and after lots of complaining, got reimbursed for the rental as well as refunded our leg from Baltimore to Portland.
From now on, if I'm flying to Maine (where my family is from) from FL, I will do my best to get a direct flight. Jetblue and Airtran sometimes have them, but it's seasonal.

The bluest eyes, of the deepest seas,
those adorable dimples, entrance me.
Your stealthy charm, and vigorous hands,
awaken my body, on demand.
Torrential bliss, on a pleasing wave,
bodies entwined, your mouth I crave.
Warm passionate kisses in synch,
your scent and sweat I drink.
Lost senses in an abyss of passion,
stature so grand, masculinity I ration.
Teasing tongues deeply confined,
within a succulent coven of mind.
Steamy sways, as bodies are one,
the stars shine thru the zealous sun.
Sensuality soars, as limbs entwine,
your soft, strong lips are mine.
A creation so grand and humble,
every gaze into your eyes I stumble.
I wish love was all it proclaimed to be,
instead of this empty dark hole in me.

There was a blue haze in the air, from a construction site on the other side of the lake. Bulldozers cleared the forest as the smoke emanated from a mound of some sort. To the right was the only lakeside home, a wide blue structure with a wooden dock. Sunlight glimmered on the water, and the woman six feet below in the soil would have liked the sight, if only it weren't so humid outside.
The bronze-colored grave marker had sand and loose grass on parts of it before I wiped them away. Every visit to grandmother's grave had a hint of comedy; the sculptor had placed the seal of the state of West Virginia on the marker, without any instruction to do so. That her name was Virginia would be the only spur for the act, to memorialize her with a place she'd never been to.
After visiting her, I walked through the freshly-cut grass to the very edge of the cemetery. The exact place had the landmark of a marble bench. To the left of the bench was where my brother's godbrother's uncle was buried, maybe a year after I was born. He was not a strong swimmer, and he knew when he dove in the ocean to rescue two children that he couldn't save himself. His plaque had much grass and a vine growing near it, two decades' worth.
Directly in front of the bench marked an event for which words fail. On top of the grave marker were the most luscious white flowers, a beauty touching the abysmal loss below it. I wiped sticks and sand away from Michael's name, and picked up the only flower which had fallen. I placed it at the right corner of the plaque and sat on the marble bench, an inscription on it quoting Mike: "… I'll see you tomorrow."
As I jogged back home, past the orange trees and coming down a hill of red bricks and orange roofs, my mind felt like a cloud floating away. "Thank you for the sunshine," I whispered.

Peter gets sent back to third grade while Stewie revamps a nightclub. Rate/review it here!
(Users Browsing this Thread: )
Not quite as awful as "Baby Not on Board," but nowhere near as good as "Road to Germany" or "The Man with Two Brians." If that pattern keeps up, I'll like the next one.
Not much going on in this thread, eh?
I spent a lot of time working last night so I left the TV on for the whole animation block on Fox. I thought the cutaways were an improvement and some of the gags were okay. But the plot made zero sense (first they say he needs a high school education, then he needs to just pass the third grade?), and the back to school bit had weak gags and only took up a fraction of the episode. The subplot with Brian was a little better, but as a big Sinatra fan, having Frank Jr. say some of those lines was cringe-inducing.
One annoying aspect of this show is attempting satire by making characters say overly-obvious, unrealistic things to emphasize consequences. An example of this is the children saying things like, "Hey, you can make fun of gay people, and by doing that, feel better about your own sexuality." Lines like this are just incredibly sloppy and they showed up numerous times in the episode. And there were the usual bad gags like Michael Jackson, Peter getting beat up by the robot, and Peter shoving Meg's face in his butt and farting.
Eh. C-
1st and 2nd half were absolute terrible, .5/5. The gags were dull and predictable. The 3rd act however saved the show. Andy Dick, Lincoln, and Prince gags all got a lot of laughs, 3.5/5 material. overall however, 2/5.
hilarious episode, rediculous plot (really? Andy Dick!) 4/5
Easy 2.5 / 5 for me.
The gags in the beginning WERE HORRIBLE AND DRY. They tried out a few puns, and they were all garbage. The subplot was better than the center plot. Peter going back to the Third grade was a mediocre idea, and had tons of mediocre jokes. Frank Sinatra Jr. is a bland character to me aswell. I never liked him. The nightclub idea sounded worse
than the Third Grade one, however it came out to be better.
The last part of the show is what made it funny. Andy Dick had me dying in laughter. The Michael Jackson skit had me rolling in laughter! Punching his groin, Hitting it with a Lightsaber, and than shooting it with the Machine Pistol (i think)! "Thank you everybody"...XDDDD.....Funniest gag in the episode, imo.
I thought the episode was lame, tbh. Last weeks was much funnier to me. Hopefully next weekend will be a better one.
I am your big brother
awful ep. only thing i like in it is the take me out to pLace tonight number and not because of the lyrics but because of how swingy it is 1/5

did uh..anything happen in this episode? this is one of those sixth production run eps that just sits there casually tossing racist jokes, fart jokes, direct rips of scenes from other media, shock humor, blah de fuck blahhh.
yeah this is a 1/5
oh the bomb blew up the childrens hospital?? eeeedddggggyyyyyy
Probably one of my favorites of Season 7, but considering how bad that Season was and how mediocre this episode was, that says alot about how much Family Guy declined this Season. Besides a few good jokes (Who The Hell Cares!), it was boring and had a really bad plot. 2/5 for the poll.

Just a tip, obviously your very inexperienced, but before you try and make something for a mod you should try working on a couple of models to improve your skills. It's not a bad start, but for something like a TC you need to work on it. Not a bad start, just grab some blueprints of a Mondeo ( ) and start from there. It's very blocky at the moment, and there is loads of polywaste around the place. Look at some SanAn cars to see how you should structure your models, if you need a guide.
Also, your bumpers are very flat. They need to extend out a bit.. You know? Like this on the Mondeo

You'd probably need to use SCM to make the effect reliable. Check when the player has entered that part of the island and decide whether to create the object at a percentage randomness, like 10% of the time. If it got created, then check when the player had left that area and destroy the object.

Only thing to moan about imo is the contrast between the green and pink. But that's just bitching over detail. I do like the blue of the dome. And loving those couches btw, I can see why that texture is in demand, hehe...

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Civil liberties and gay-rights groups are challenging Virginia's same-sex marriage ban in court.
The ACLU of Virginia and Lambda Legal say they'll discuss the complaint after filing it Thursday. The ACLU first announced plans to sue last month.
Virginia voters in 2006 approved a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage and denying recognition of such marriages sanctioned by other states.
Earlier this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that denied federal benefits to married gay couples. The justices also left intact a lower court ruling overturning California's gay marriage ban. That decision was based on a legal technicality and did not address the law's constitutionality.
A Norfolk couple already is challenging Virginia's gay marriage ban in another federal lawsuit.

I go to the Ducks-Blackhawks game [...]. It was terrible: not only did the Ducks win, not only did Corey Perry extend his scoring streak, not only did the Blackhawks not score, but Kyle Calder (boo!) played well. Kyle Calder. [...] Also, it was funny that I went to the game with a bunch of Ducks fans and had to explain why they sometimes call off icing.

Why see a psychologist if you are suffering from pain or illness? Physical illness correlates strongly with Major Depression. It takes a toll on people's work, financial and social lives, and plays havoc with their sense of self-esteem and with their important relationships. A psychologist can help people who have experienced the kinds of disruptions that often come along with pain and illness.
What kinds of problems does a psychologist work with when a patient has a medical condition? The challenges that arise in a person's life when they encounter the effects of physical illness are many. For some, the medical, diet and exercise regimens are a primary source of worry. This can be common with patients who have to manage diabetes or arthritis or weight issues. Needing to be constantly on one's "best behavior" can cause "burnout" and lead to irritability and depression. Others may struggle with stigma and misunderstanding from friends and family members. It can be difficult to relate to what is going on for someone experiencing chronic pain, or for someone who has received a potentially life-altering diagnosis such as coronary heart disease, cancer or HIV.
What can I expect from a course of therapy that is connected to my medical illness? While disease and pain can take a tremendous toll on a person suffering from these conditions, I work with my patients to try and bring their lives back on track. I believe in maintaining and repairing damaged relationships, and bringing people back to their highest ability to function in their work, play and social lives.

My OB/GYN Told Me I "HAD" to Breastfeed!
When talking to my OB about my hesitations about breastfeeding she told me "You have to. At least for two weeks!" Huh? I'll make that decision, thank you.
Momlogic's Talitha: I was expecting to hear a lot of criticism and judgment about what I should and shouldn't do while pregnant, and after I give birth. My mother sends me texts when it's time to drink a glass of milk, and reminds me that "the baby only eats when you eat." I've gotten used to that now. But when debating whether or not to breastfeed, I was absolutely shocked when I consulted my doc and she told me I simply "had" to do it.
Now, I am open to hearing why it might be best for my baby, but I am not open to being told what to do. For some women, maybe breastfeeding doesn't make as much sense as for others. If I choose not to do it, will that make me a bad mom? No. Will it make me a better mom if I do breastfeed? No. I happen to think, after doing my research, that it will take a huge toll on me and our household, as I will likely be returning to work soon after giving birth. Go on, tell me I can pump at work and breast milk is so much better and blah blah blah, but frankly, I am really tired of people pointing the finger and passing judgment on choices that are mine, and mine only.
And while I'm at it, I am totally turned off by the childbirth class preaching breastfeeding and in a roundabout way telling me "I have to do it." Why is this acceptable? In a recent article, one woman spoke out about her experience giving birth and the nurse literally "shoving" the baby onto her breast. When she told the nurse she wasn't breastfeeding, the nurse said "Oh yes you are!" WTF? It's very difficult to understand how a trained professional can get away with something like that. Is SHE the mother?
What if the breast isn't best? Haven't there been instances where it's simply NOT the best for the baby ... or the mother? The point is, we're all doing the best we can -- I plan on making an informed decision that works for me, not my OB, and certainly not the nurse in the hospital. I wasn't breastfed -- and I'm healthy, smart, and my relationship with my mother couldn't be better.
Is it ok to pump in public? Sound off in the momlogic community!

Our mission at the Hinsdale Chorale is to enrich the musical culture of Hinsdale, Illinois and its surrounding neighborhoods by promoting the appreciation of choral singing in our community.
The Hinsdale Chorale is a non-profit and educational organization comprised of dedicated professional and amateur singers led by a professional director. The group performs formally twice each year as well as several special appearances for the Hinsdale community. The Holiday show has traditionally been the most extensive performance, highlighted by orchestral accompaniment of solo and choral selections from Handel's Messiah including an audience sing-along. The second formal show takes place in the spring and has provided the opportunity for us to extend the range of music selections. The group also supports the Memorial Day services at Memorial Hall with patriotic selections, and participates in Hinsdale's annual Christmas Walk featuring Holiday favorites.
We are excited about our upcoming "Spring Concert Featuring Mozart's Coronation Mass and Händel's Coronation Anthems". For more information, click here.
*****For Immediate Release*****
Hinsdale, IL March 10, 2014 – The Hinsdale Chorale, under the direction of Alan Wellman, will perform its annual spring concert featuring: Mozart's Coronation Mass in C and Händel's Coronation Anthems on Saturday, May 3, 2014, at 7:00pm at First Congregational Church, 1106 Chestnut St., Western Springs, IL.
In celebration of the chorale's 15th season, the program will highlight music fit for a king including Mozart's Krönungsmesse (German for Coronation Mass), one of the most popular of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 17 settings of the Mass. This setting, like the majority of Mozart's mass settings, is a Missa Brevis, or short mass, and prominently features soprano, alto, tenor and bass soloists accompanied by organ and chamber orchestra.
Many composers have written coronation anthems. However, the best known were composed by Georg Friedrich Händel. Händel's four coronation anthems were designed to be played at the coronation of the British Monarch and include Zadok the Priest, Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened, The King Shall Rejoice, and My Heart Is Inditing. Each was originally a separate work but they were later published together.
Celeste Martino of Western Springs will again join the Hinsdale Chorale as soprano soloist. She has sung in numerous professional performances throughout the United States and Europe. Recently, Celeste debuted with the Hinsdale Chorale and the Downers Grove Choral Society, and has also appeared annually with Sinfonietta Bel Canto in addition to being an active performer in Hinsdale and Western Springs Music Club programs.
Hinsdale resident and frequent Hinsdale Chorale ensemble member and soloist, Jane Moyer, has sung professionally for many years. She also enjoys arranging music and accompanying herself on various instruments, including folk harp. Jane was one of the early members of the Hinsdale Chorale and holds a degree in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy from Michigan State University.
Justin Dunkle, tenor, is originally from Greencastle, Pennsylvania and obtained a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the Wheaton College Conservatory in 2010 and plans to pursue a Master's degree in Opera Vocal Performance in Texas in the fall of 2014. Justin resides in Wheaton and also sings with the St. Charles Singers, Elgin Choral Union, and Palos Park Presbyterian Community Church Chancel Choir.
Baritone Gregory Lind is organist and choirmaster at St. Michael and All Angels' Episcopal Church in Berwyn. He studied organ with Dr. John Hamersma at Calvin College and, in addition to being a long-time member of the Hinsdale Chorale, has sung with the West Suburban Choral Union, the Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys, and with the Calvin Ensemble of Chicago.
Kathy Christian continues to delight audiences as the chorale's accompanist on piano, organ and harpsichord. Joining shortly after the choir's inception in 1999, Mrs. Christian is a member of the music faculty at North Central College in Naperville and is very active as organist at First Congregational Church in Western Springs.
The Hinsdale Chorale is a group of dedicated professional and non-professional singers from in and around Hinsdale whose mission is to enrich the musical culture of Hinsdale and its surrounding neighborhoods by promoting the appreciation of choral singing in our community. Tickets for the event are $15.00 for adults or $10.00 for seniors/students and will be available at the door, through a chorale member, or by calling (312) 510-1823. This program is partially underwritten by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency. Further information on Hinsdale Chorale is available at www.hinsdalechorale.org or by calling (312) 510-1823.
Please email email@example.com or call 312-510-1823 for more information.

RE: Robert Samuel Taylor
Oh yes, please do. That's why I sent it. I am working on a project for all 23 sailors killed in action on the ship, have been for years. The first "boy" killed in April 1945 was Robert Moore of Enid, OK. His OK cousins just visited the ship last week. The other 22 sailors were killed in July, including Bob Taylor, in another attack.
I'd be happy to send a few photos of the ship (now) and the plaque if you'd like (you can add those too). But I have difficulty in using Find a Grave methods to send photos.
My Email is email@example.com
Send me a small note and I can reply with pix. The USS Cassin Young (DD 793) also has its own website (done by volunteers) and can be Googled as well via "Boston National Historical Park."

Robert Sam Taylor
Robert Samuel Taylor (Water tender 2nd class) was killed in action just east of Okinawa, Japan, on July 30, 1945. A kamikaze attack at about 3:30 am was his doom along with 21 shipmates, aboard the USS Cassin Young (DD793) destroyer. He was the son of John Leo and Aphus Taylor who lived in Laclede, MO. The ship now is a floating museum at the Charlestown Navy Yard (part of Boston National Historical Park) across the Charles River from downtown Boston, MA. There is a plaque on the ship commemorating those lost in battle, including Robert. The Cassin Young was the last destoyer hit by a kamikaze in the Pacific war. Park Rangers provide tours of the ship in season.

Your appreciation and kind words are so welcome. I needed some words of encoragement. I hope you have a nice 4th of July! Looks like we are going to be busy most of the day putting up more hay. We were in the fields yesterday. Looks like more rain coming next week so that will put a stop to us working on putting up hay again! Sounds like the east coast is really getting hit by another huricane! I have a nephew who's family lives in North Carolina about where it hit the coast. I sure hope they make it through this storm. Take care, Farm Girl from MO.

Dave Mason is hardly a household name, but he's had a rather impressive rock 'n' roll career. At the age of 18, he founded the seminal prog-rock band Traffic with Steve Winwood, penning the anthemic "Feeling Alright" a year later. Now in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fameadmittedly a dubious honorTraffic is one of the rare bands to employ a sax, a flute and a keyboard and not suck. Mason left Traffic for a solo career before the band really found its way, but his classic "We Just Disagree" is one of those rare '70s hits that still sounds good today. You can catch Dave Mason at the House of Blues at 8 p.m. Thursday. Tickets range from $23.50 to $29.50. Call 214-978-BLUE or visit ticketmaster.com.

History Professor Alphine W. Jefferson
Randolph-Macon College's third-annual Juneteenth celebration will be held on Sunday,
June 10, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. in Blackwell Auditorium, the Center for the Performing
Arts. The program, "Blacks and the Sesquicentennial: Celebration or Commemoration,"
is presented by the R-MC Black Studies
program and The Hanover County Black Heritage Society, Inc. This event is free
and open to the public.
Juneteenth is held in honor of the day that the last enslaved North Americans were
freed in the United States by the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth began in
Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 when Blacks in Galveston learned that they were
free by order of the Emancipation Proclamation, which had become effective January
1, 1863. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger landed in Galveston, Texas
with Union soldiers bringing news that the Civil War had ended. Beginning in Texas
as a state holiday, Juneteenth is now recognized officially in more than 40 states.
The program will offer historical entertainment, information and inspiration for
people of all ages and backgrounds. The audience will hear musical selections from
the gospel-singing group True Anointing and see a performance by the Saint Luke
Baptist Church's Praise Dance Troupe.
There will also be presentations from speakers, including Roice Luke, who will discuss
the 1895 Armory built for Richmond's Black Militia. R-MC Professor Jack Trammell
will read his poem "Wall Street," and his most recent book,
The Richmond Slave Trade: The Economic Backbone of the Old Dominion,
will be available for purchase. Trammell will be available to sign copies of the
book, which is also available in the R-MC Bookstore.
In addition, 2012 R-MC graduate Kenneth White will share his Schapiro Undergraduate
Research Fellowship (SURF) findings on slave cemeteries.
Alphine W. Jefferson, Professor of History and
Director of the Black Studies Program at R-MC as well as president of the Hanover
County Black Heritage Society, Inc., will serve as Master of Ceremonies.

22 New Things Men Don't Know About Women
Real women share their secrets about sex, relationships, and what men have been doing wrong (and right) all these years:

The only thing remotely funny was the wash the sheets thing, the rest.... well if it was a sheet of toilet paper you know where i would be wiping it !!!
What do you do if you're a vegetarian? Let us have the last piece of celery? Come on most of the is just BS, not all us women are like this and if we have rules then guys can go on piling it up too...a healthy relationship is one in which there are minimum requirements or rules to follow...just live and love. Besides, like Krissy said, there are things much more important than sharing bacon-er celery!
SO, ladies, why is "FINE" not a good answer?? What does that answer mean to you ladies and why does it come across as negative to you?
What are we SUPPOSED to say? Had the article given THAT piece of info it would have ben useful ..
Welcome to the modern world .. do you know how much time our teens spend on thier cell pohones? Have you seen when they use the phone?? All the itme, very often when older people (over 30?) woudl consider it rude behaviour ... I wonder what that generation (currently 12 to 25) will be like when they are 35? we have a new culture coming along ...
what men should know and what most do know is that most women are deeply affected by hormones and cycles--especially pms--which renders them mentally unbalanced, possibly insane. Men, look at them as potentially dangerous, and you will always be safe. When women are ín love' they may stalk you; when jilted will falsely accuse you of either domestic assault or even rape, child molestation--anything that will hurt you--and without conscience--because of their fundamentally different physiognamies mixed with our society's anti-male bias and 'female victim' mentality. Women can not or won't take any responsibility in sexual relationships--remember: it is ALL the Man's responsibility. She is an ínnocent bystander. Hoping this will inform more men than this article. good luck men, and power to you.
Not bad, about 75%:
True dat on the flowers, but also on the goatish smells: yes, if you smell like our brothers: ew!
Absolutely write us poetry.
Neither Entourage OR Sex in the City. I'd rather watch Hung or Community.
And for *(^& sake, absolutely not Jeff Goldblum: he's a cheating **** AND ugly. Emulate neither him nor Norris.
Stubble only looks good on younger men, not old farts, and feels terrible on every man; judge accordingly: do you want to look good, or feel GREAT? Do you like it when we have stubble? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
@The Claw
the $172m calculation is based on monthly. The $400m earning is yearly. $172m monthly * 12months > $400m / year. The author actually DID take into account that some part of the world didn't pay that much:
"But we know that a lot of folks have discount plans, and the charge isn't the same across the globe. I can easily believe a $400 million yearly earning from subscriptions, and am actually surprised it's not higher."
The point is that the $172 million figure should never have been mentioned, because multiplying the 11.5 million worldwide subscribers by the $15/month US subscription fee is completely meaningless. Completely. You might as well multiply the number of bytes in WoW.exe by your shoe size and call that their monthly revenue.

Setting a new standard of operational flexibility
Helping you achieve higher investment returns, the new KA26, which leverages the advanced-class GT26 gas turbine, easily meets the challenges of today's dynamically changing power markets. In addition to powering traditional base-load power generation, the KA26 solution can produce reserve power to support renewable's increasing share of the grid.For the first time in an advanced-class engine, the GT26 gas turbine incorporates an on-line switchable operation mode. Opt for maximum power output or choose to extend the interval between maintenance inspection by as much as 30%, increasing availability and reducing cost.This pioneering operational flexibility allows you to balance performance against plant maintenance costs, depending on the daily needs of the grid.

« TT: Just because | Main | TT: Almanac »
July 15, 2013
TT: Living on line
I started this blog on July 14, 2003, ten years ago. (This was the very first posting.)
Back then the word "blog" was still comparatively unfamiliar to the public at large, and there were, so far as I know, fewer than a dozen blogs that dealt solely or primarily with cultural matters, none of which was written by a critic who published regularly in the national media. Now there are far more than I can count.
Many, perhaps most of the artblogs that were launched in the early years of the twenty-first century have since fallen by the wayside, but "About Last Night" is still here. I've posted something--if only an almanac entry--every weekday for a decade. Sometimes it's a burden, but mostly it's a pleasure.
I tip my hat to Laura "Our Girl" Demanski and Carrie Frye, both of whom have shared this space with me in the past, much to my delight. Of late, alas, they've become too busy to blog (Laura is editing a magazine and Carrie is writing a book). When and if their lives change, they'll be welcome back, and then some.
I don't feel like going on at length about the tenth anniversary of "About Last Night" precisely because it is still here, a fixed point on the horizon of cyberspace. I do, however, want to point you to a few of my favorite postings. Some of them are about art, others about life, most about the intersection between the two. All are personal, most very much so. In time I hope to spin them, and others like them, into a book.
For the moment, though, I invite you to look back with me over a decade of uninterrupted blogging. I hope you've enjoyed the ride:
• From 2003: Among the professionals and Kind of omnipresent
• From 2004: Nothing to do and A wedding
• From 2005: Time off for good behavior
• From 2006: In a strange land

I was reading "15 Things You Should Give Up to Be Happy" and it made me think about parenthood -- being a mom. There are things we get caught up in and it messes with us -- with our sense of balance, our zen, and simply, our happy. The recent Time magazine cover story brought out the worst in us. The judgments. The misunderstandings. The ugly. It was almost like a new campaign perfectly designed to fuel the mommy wars. But it will only do that if we let it.
And that's exactly what that "give up" list made me realize. We can't let it. We can't let things get to us and divide us -- as moms, as parents, as a person. We all have these inner conflicts and struggles and they are often caused by things on the outside -- the judgements, the misunderstandings, the ugly. We need to make changes. We need and deserve to be happy -- happier. So here's my list of the 14 things you should stop doing to be a happy mom or dad.
More from The Stir: The 7 Things All Moms Need to Write Down for Their Babies
It's all advice I'm taking to heart, too. I'll be revisiting this list when I feel I need a refresher.
What things on this list do you need to do more of?

love this article!!!! i really need to stop comparing my daughter to others and worrying what others think...easier said than done.
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Self-empathy! You can't let go of those "bad" emotions if you are trying to outlaw them. Instead, acknowledge them, realize that it makes sense to feel the way you do, and then let them go. :o)
Great advice! Thanks!
@Lyndseyloo, I totally agree! It's defeating the purpose of this article to make comments like that. As moms we should all stick together and support each other!

I'm a person picky with words. I always look back at phrases and wonder how they came to be, and why it had to be that way.
Toady this hit me: "It really does make a difference."
I looked at it, thinking, "difference is 'negative' kind of word, meaning a subtraction", so why isn't the phrase "make an addition" instead?
I understand that it really means (well, it usually implies) that the difference is a positive one, that we're now at a higher level, closer to the goal than before, hence the "difference", the positive gap.
And then those words hit me again. Words. Sometimes I'm too picky with my words, and perhaps sometimes however you phrase something does not matter, as long as the event is happening.
Making a difference, making an addition, helping someone else out…
Something we should all do, regardless of how it is said.

So is anyone else P-O'd enough to call in and try to cancel without a fee? Or to try and get grandfathered? It can't be just me.
Okay, so now you're trolling for Big Content as well. In case you didn't get the memo, Big Content is rolling in money. They are not suffering.
I presume you mean these words I wrote ealier.There is nothing pertaining to the word Troll in there.Just asked a question.
Way to keep the page hidden, Telus!WTH?Such a huge change should be listed on Telus's main website!Unbelievable, Telus.Unbelievable!
God It is amazing how these threads get derailed. These discussions about anything BUT TELUS raising its caps makes me realize that our goal in society is a [insert organ or bodily function] contest.Listen, it's simple. The ONLY factor that comes into play is if they will enforce any of the caps, and if they are reducing these caps to chamber their weapon for the future IF they decide to actually put the clamp down.I don't know how much I use. There's no way for me to test via any link, not from my modem, nothing. I have never gotten a notice for usage.But if I ever do, and ever have issues, there's ts, no? I would mess up some issues with TV, but still... It would be freeing I think Seriously though. Caps... What's the point? It's not enforced and is probably being done to prepare if they ever decide to enforce. Has that not always been the case? Is there anything different now? Is it FUD?
I think the problem with relying on enforcement is nobody has a clue whether they will or not... but they certainly could and obviously are starting to pay attention to bandwidth in some regard because they are going down this road. In a typical month I am probably under 60gb so I'm not really going to suffer either way, I just hate an ISP doing rollbacks in a time when, if anything, it should be going the other way.
A couple of points :1) If they aren't going to enforce, then why wouldn't they grandfather me or agree to waive any overage fees for the duration of my contract?2) I was treated very rudely by the time I got to escalations and they looked at my usage. Basically they accused me of torrenting (which I don't). At escalations they kept trying to blame it on me, when obviously they offered the product at such and such cap, and Im below that cap (but close). Not my fault.End result: telus is extremely deceptive with their contracts , and basically an evil company.You wont find a single thing on the website suggesting that your "contract" is actually just a sham that completely screws the customer while giving telus all the leeway in the world.
1) If they aren't going to enforce, then why wouldn't they grandfather me or agree to waive any overage fees for the duration of my contract?
Is that confirmed...People keep saying stuff and im not sure if they know something, or its just speculation they think its coming.By the way everytime i phone into telus i get different responses from different people.
Will there be a drop in price because of this?If so, then by how much?
Bah.. First Shaw threatened to screw us with the UBB so I left for Telus, they said sorry so I went back for them to screw me around yet again so I go back to Telus. Now Telus are pulling this crap. I'm sticking around just in case this is just them trying to upsell heavy users on Turbo 50 and not a precursor to UBB. But if it's more, then I guess it's time to jump ship again. Luckily February coincides with when my promo is up.But between the usage caps and the copyright trolls moving north, I'm seriously considering whether it's worth having an Internet connection at all.
and switch to teksavvy.
This year Shaw had income of $5 billion and Telus had $10.8 billion. I'm sure you can appreciate that Teksavvy is a teeny bit smaller. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet can afford to do things I can't. What a shock.There's a reason that Voltage chose Distributel (the company that couldn't even be bothered to show up) and Teksavvy as their first forays into Canada. It sucks, but at least Teksavvy are doing the best they can.The fault here is with the government for passing the stupid law that made this possible and Voltage for taking advantage.

And how exactly is it that their customers privacy isn't being looked after? Has the information for one subscriber been passed into the hands of Voltage? Didn't think so...Distributel are the ones who didn't even put up a token fight, and by now those IP addresses are all in the hands of the trolls.In comparison, Teksavvy appears to be being... well, quite savvy.
I think it's pretty clear that TELUS is seriously looking at implementing UBB. Data is their biggest cash cow. On the day we found out they are slashing bandwidth Internet usage caps significantly Rogers announced a huge amount of profit from cellular data. The thing is TELUS is a cell company a very profitable one and most of that profit comes from data charges. They had built new data centres and made investments (which is good).Now is the time for them as a business and be responsible... look to recoup costs of investment. Over the past few years there have been those press releases with "Telus investing $1.7 bill in network" each year. TELUS has a cellular phone company mentality. They will Unfortunatley look to be proactive in reducing caps leading to potential charges. This is the nature of the way they operate. Data charges are in their DNA.
I think it's pretty clear that every cable co and telco is seriously looking at implementing UBB. Data is their biggest cash cow.
FYI - MTS actively advertise unlimited Internet for the past few years including TV ads. Sasktel and Bell Aliant I don't think have caps either.I'm sure every company has looked at the model of UBB, but this is the Telus forum and Telus is making some Massive cuts to allowances. So as much as you change peoples quotes to deflect the companies actions the fact is still an announcement went up (hidden on the website) that usage is cut up to 50%. The least logical and sensible person would have to recognize what's coming next.
It definitely looks like Telus will be enforcing the cap. The 50% drop is about as obvious as a kick in the nuts.I guess its probably a good thing that a lot of us are stuck on pathetically slow profiles. If I had anything better than a 6/1 connection.... I would be paying overages for sure!!
My throughput over the last 31 days has been over 5TB...I sure hope they don't start implementing UBB or I'm going to be on the hook for about... $2/GB....4,750GB overage...So about $10,000 after taxes.That would be a really, really bad bill.
this is one of those situations where the people who think they are unaffected stand by and let it happen and when it finally does affect them, it's too late.I would hope that I wouldn't have to spell it out. all of our data usage is going to go up up up over the next years. everyone needs to post on their Facebook that telus breaks contracts and writes phony deceiving advertising. and file with ccts.

At 2.3GB per hr Netflix HD a family home streaming on a few tv's each day could do that in a month.
This is nothing but anti-competitive practice. TELUS knows lots of people are using Netflix and other services and the only way to get people to use TELUS' own TV service is to charge customers extra money for exceeding quota. Investors are most likely disappointed that the TELUS TV service is not going well as planned -- sales-wise. Someone told me there are a couple of investors lurking in this forum and spreading false information about TELUS' services, but he hasn't confirmed this. So I'll just assume this is not true for the time being until I can find a match.I think all the cable companies and telcos in North America follow this kind of monopolistic practice.Let's see how the TELUS shills explain this one. Huh.
I contacted telus and asked them about my usage, and they couldn't tell me. Does the Actiontec keep a log of data volume by chance or is there a tool a person could use?
My usage suddenly began appearing on my printed bill a couple of months ago. Not too accurate I might add ( in my favour) so I don't know how they are calculating it. As I'm not using Telus hardware, I know it's not a local log.If you're interested I'd look at you on-line bill, but you'd have to view the pdf version to see usage , the "usage" tab shows nothing.I have used Dumeter for many years, but I switched to networx (free) recently. ( I compared the two and they produced comparable results that were also in line with the logger on my router)I contacted Telus to ask about usage and when they were going to begin charging overages.... The CSR wasn't aware that Telus were counting.. ( The CSR was very helpful, was surprised when I mentioned that usage was only appearing on my pdf bill ... seems Telus like to keep most their staff in the dark.)
