This is my report of a recent trip to Asia on the Star Alliance in Business/First. It is very detailed and has plenty of pics, so enjoy! I apologize about the poor quality of some of the pics, which are due to bad lighting (I did not use flash), several cameras being used, and me being in a rush. Because I have so many pics, I have broken this report into several parts, and this thread only contains the outbound portion to ICN.
As summer slowly approached, it was once again time to burn some of those hard earned United miles, and take a vacation to somewhere we would not otherwise go. Me and my dad decided that we wanted to go somewhere in Asia that we had not been, especially Bangkok and Seoul, so I started off by calling United International Reservations. We were very flexible, and especially wanted to try out Singapore Airlines in Raffles (Business Class), something I have not yet done. I started off by asking for a departure on June 12, and to my surprise, it was available with SQ. After some creative routing, I managed to get a Business Class award for the two of us to Bangkok and Seoul, flying five different airlines, namely US/SQ/OZ/TG/UA, all in premium cabins, being gone for a total of 11 days. Considering the routing and airlines, the award was a steal for 90,000 miles per person. United really is competitive in this aspect, with award redemption rates, especially to Asia, where we like to go.
Initially the award routed as follows:
June 12, 2006

After having it booked for about a month, I decided that I would try to change the domestic return portion of SFO-DEN-TPA, because I saw that UA was running 747's between SFO and IAD. After a quick call to reservations, I was able to change my return to SFO-IAD on the 747 in Business, IAD-ORD on the 777 in Business, and only do ORD-TPA on Ted. Thanks to my 1K status, there was no fee for the change, something which was nice for a change with all of the cost cutting the airlines are doing.
After logging onto united.com to check and make sure that they booked it right, I noticed that they booked the SFO-IAD for the right date, but the IAD-ORD-TPA for a few days earlier, which would not even be possible, given that we would still be in Thailand. After a quick call, they opened up some award seats on the right flights, and we were ready to go. The only part about this award which was not so great was the outbound domestic portion, which would be on US, which I have heard a lot of bad things about.
The new domestic return routing looked like this:
June 23, 2006
Departure Time: 7:54AM
Arrival Time: 3:54PM
Aircraft: 747-400
Distance in Miles: 2419
June 23, 2006
Departure Time: 5:25PM
Arrival Time: 6:42PM
Aircraft: 777-200
Distance in Miles: 589
June 23, 2006
UA 1448 (Operated by Ted)
Departure Time: 8:50PM
Arrival Time: 12:29AM (next day)
Aircraft: A320
Distance in Miles: 1012
A few days prior to departure I decided to "Book the Cook," which is Singapore's program whereby you choose what you want to eat aboard, as long as you call at least 24 hours in advance. The choices looked as follows:
Grilled free range chicken with fettuccine pasta and wild mushroom sauce
Peppered fillet mignon with mustard jus, chanterelle mushrooms, fava beans, and paprika red potatoes
Seared Chilean bass with creamy saffron sauce, baby vegetables and wild rice
Steamed crab ravioli in creamy lobster sauce with mixed vegetables
Beef Sukiyaki with steamed rice
Chirashi Sushi
Prawns with preserved cabbage, sugar snap peas, and steamed rice
Stir-fried pork with wood ear, enoki mushroom, bell peppers, and steamed rice
Sweet and sour fish with fried noodles
Wok-fried black pepper chicken with carrots, zucchini, gingko nuts, and steamed rice
We both decided to go with the fillet mignon for the first meal of the flight from LAX-NRT, and left the second meal of the flight open, so we could choose from the menu.
The morning of 06/12:
After having gone to bed at around 11PM the night before, I woke up at 3:45AM. I made sure that I had everything packed, and then headed to the computer for a bit. I was concerned by the fact that tropical storm Alberto was said to cause heavy rain and some winds in our area, which I hoped would not affect our trip. Flight status at usair.com showed us as being on time, and I had about twenty minutes to kill. I chatted with a few people online, and before I knew it, it was 4:35AM, and time to head to the airport.
My mom drove us to the airport, as we would be gone for 11 days. I drank a large bottle of Evian water throughout the morning, in order to stay hydrated. After a very rainy drive, we arrived there at around 5:15AM, pulling in at the blue terminal for USAir check in.
At TPA:
The check in area was pretty empty, with no one waiting in line. We reached the counter, at which point the agent said "Phoenix?" We responded that we were going to Seoul, and she asked for our e-ticket and passports. After a few minutes, she cranked out our boarding passes, but only to LAX. She took our bag, which weighed 52lbs, and placed a Star priority tag on it, and checked it all the way to ICN, our destination.
USAir check in
We would be departing the F concourse, so headed to the upper level, which is the departing point for all six concourses. We gave the security lady our boarding passes, and took the tram over to the F concourse.
Upon arriving there, we were greeted by the wonderful TSA agents, who were screaming, "Take your shoes off unless you want more screening." I contemplated for a moment leaving my shoes on just to annoy them and get the extra screening, but then I realized that I was way too tired for that. The line was short, and the whole process was done within five minutes.
We then headed straight for the USAir club, which is right behind security. At first I thought that it was closed since it appeared to have no lights on, and since it was a sliding door which did not open when I approached. Since it was only 5:35AM, and the club was supposed to open at 5:30AM, I thought they were just running a few minutes late. Then I saw a man come through and push the plate on the wall, which made the door open, so we followed him. I have never seen a sliding door at an airport lounge which requires the wall plate to be pushed, but I guess this was just an exception.

Upon entering the club, we took the elevator to the second floor, which is where the lounge is located. The agent, Charlotte, which I thought was an interesting name since it was our destination as well as a major US hub, greeted us. She looked at our itinerary, and I presented her with my Star Gold card, and she let us in.
Elevator to second floor
The club was a lot nicer than I expected, especially because it was USAir. It was nice with tall and curved ceilings, and extremely large given the location. It had a nice selection of food for a domestic lounge, including muffins, yogurt, and biscoff cookies. I took an orange juice and a couple of the mini muffins, yogurt, and biscoffs, since I would not be eating breakfast, and plopped down in a remote area. The club had maybe 10 people in it total, which was not a lot given its size and the fact that it was Monday morning. I watched some of the planes outside in the gloomy weather, including a new color scheme US aircraft coming in from a redeye.

After relaxing for a little over half an hour, we headed to the boarding gate, F85, which was directly adjacent to the lounge. Within five minutes, boarding started, and our long journey to Korea began.

Upon boarding, we were greeted by the friendly purser, who was an African American lady, maybe in her 40's, as well as a slightly younger male. I put my rollaboard in the overhead bin, and took out the usual, including my iPod, Bose headsets, and folder with all the flight information. I sat down in 2A, and immediately observed that the aisle seat across from me was broken, with a rope holding it down. The most striking thing about the cabin was how old it looked, especially the F seats. They had definitely not been refurbished in the past 15 years, but were quite comfortable nonetheless.

Safety card
Within minutes the very friendly and cheerful purser came around and asked to hang everyone's coat, followed by asking if anyone would like a pre-departure beverage, and I gladly accepted an apple juice, and my dad took a coffee. The Captain was also in the galley, getting himself and First Officer McDonald some water.
Pre-departure beverages
As boarding continued, I overheard a lady telling her friend that this was the same aircraft that she flew in on last week, because of the broken seat. I can't help but wonder how much revenue US is losing, or how many elites it is ticking off with a broken F seat for at least a week. The Captain then came on the PA and told us that we can expect a flight time of one hour and ten minutes, and that it should be a smooth flight, except for takeoff, and that we would be cruising at 39,000 feet. Before I knew it, the door closed, and we were ready for an early pushback. The safety video, which was very dramatic to say the least, began. We quickly taxied out to runway 18R in the light rain, and were number one for takeoff. We slowly started to roll down the runway, in typical Airbus fashion, and were off the ground within a mile.
I took out the USAir magazine, and flipped through the pages. I noticed an interesting article on "Flight Attendant of the Year," for which they chose Jan De Mets, a veteran of 16 years, who did everything she could to help inform customers about the merger taking place between USAir and America West, and how the changes would affect the customers.

FA of the year article
Within twenty minutes we leveled off at FL390, and the Captain finally turned off the seat belt sign. He told us that we could expect a "dandy" ride up towards CLT, and that it was pretty foggy at the airport. The purser started serving the eleven person F cabin, with a cart, to my surprise. This seemed slightly odd, but it made the service quick. I went for another OJ, but had already had three, so my dad and I decided that we would share one can. My dad commented to the purser that "we are just trying to save USAir some money," to which she responded "Oh, don't listen to what CNN says." The service was with cups, which is abysmal for first class, but that is a whole different rant.
Wing view at cruise level
After beverage service, she came around with the snack basket, which consisted of peanuts, biscoffs, snack mix, and shortbread cookies. I took some shortbread cookies and a biscoff, which were quite tasty. The purser came around for refills, and was extremely professional.
My dad pulled out our boarding passes for the next flight, and noticed that we never got a luggage stub, used for verification at the destination or if any problems were to arise, back in TPA. This would be a problem since we had a very complicated itinerary, and our bags being lost would not be unlikely. We went to ask the FA what should be done, and she said to see an agent in CLT.
Within ten minutes the descent began, and the seat belt sign was illuminated. I packed up all of my stuff, and got out the connection info. Within another 10 minutes the Captain came on and said that we were only about 20 miles out, but were landing towards the South, so it would be another 10-12 minutes. The purser came back onto the PA and gave all of the connecting flight info, which was a long list. As we got below the clouds the fog was evident, and really limited any outside viewing. Within a couple of minutes we touched down, with a very smooth landing. We had a substantial taxi of about ten minutes to gate B13, and arrived about five minutes early.

At CLT:
Upon exiting the plane, we headed straight for the USAir club in the B concourse. The concourse was not too impressive, pretty bland, with many vendors nonetheless. Our connecting flight would be leaving from B3, right next to the USAir club. We proceeded to the club, where the lady asked for our club membership. We explained that we were flying Business Class to Asia and were Star Gold, but she just asked us again for our membership card. After explaining it again, she let us in reluctantly. We also asked her what we should do concerning our missing luggage stub, and she said that it would not be a problem due to the fact that it would be in the computer system.

This club was not very impressive, especially for a hub club. The food selection was the same as in TPA, so I went for a muffin and yet another orange juice. After hanging around for thirty minutes, we went to the boarding gate for our flight to LAX. The area was packed, with people standing all around the gate. They started boarding Zones 1 & 2, but it was very hard to get through due to people blocking the gate reader. We managed to get through by the time they started boarding Zone 3, and we were once again on our way.

Seats: 3 A&C (First)
We boarded through door 1L, and walked the short distance to row three. I quickly put my rollaboard in the overhead, leaving the aisle clear, since boarding was already in full swing. Within a few minutes one of the FA's came around hanging coats, and then came around with individual bottles of water for all F passengers, as opposed to a choice of pre-departure drinks. As soon as boarding slowed down a bit, I got up to retrieve my iPod, Bose headsets, and everything else I would be using in-flight from the overhead.
Seat 3A
About twenty minutes later the door closed, and we immediately pushed back. The safety video started, and we quickly taxied to runway 18R for takeoff. When we got there, we were number seven for takeoff, with plenty of regional jets as well as a couple of US A321's in front of us. Eventually it was our turn, and we slowly rolled down the runway, taking off with 4,000 feet of runway left.

Planes behind us for takeoff
We climbed out at an extremely slow rate, and reached our cruising altitude of 34,000 feet after what seemed to be eternity. The Captain came on the PA and gave us our route, as well as informing us that the flight time would be a short 4hr35min. The seatbelt sign was then turned off, and the purser made her announcements. She proclaimed to the entire plane that the First Class meal choices would be either portabella gnocchi or chicken with potatoes, and that "believe it or not, this is a lunch flight." I found this to be quite unprofessional, and that this should just have been told to the F passengers. She went on to say that the in-flight movie would be "Firewall," and that there would be a preview within a few minutes, and that we should all close our window shades for better viewing.
She then came around with complimentary headsets for First Class passengers. Following this, she took meal and drink orders. I went with a Diet Coke and the chicken with potatoes, and my dad went with the gnocchi. A few minutes later she returned with the drinks and a package of snack mix.
Drinks & snack mix
About twenty minutes later the food showed up. The tray consisted of the main course, a small salad with tomatoes, croutons, cucumbers, and Asian Sesame Ginger dressing, some "breadsticks," and shortbread cookies for dessert. The salad was pretty good, the chicken was fairly moist, and the potatoes were tasty. I also tried my dad's, which was not nearly as good.

Unfortunately, this was a sad excuse for a First Class meal service, even compared to other American carriers. On the same flight on United there would have been hot towels, table linens, a separate hot nut service prior to the meal, a slightly more substantial meal, an ice cream sundae, real silverware, and real glasses. Overall, this was what I expected from USAir, but it was disappointing, nonetheless.
After the meal service I put on my Bose headsets and watched what was on the screen, which was "Gags," and was absolutely hilarious. After about twenty minutes of this I tried to get some sleep, since I was not very interested in the movie. Unfortunately, I could not sleep, so went up to the galley. I used the restroom, and then talked with the purser for a bit. I told her that we were going to Seoul, and she commented that two more passengers were heading there as well.
After talking for a bit, I headed back to my seat, and started reading the "Three Perfect Days" article on Seoul. These are always written by United in their Hemispheres Magazine, and are always excellent guides for exploring new cities. Whenever I travel, I print out the article from the online archive, and it always serves as a great general guide to the city.
After reading the article, the Purser came around with the snack basket, consisting of biscoffs, cookies, nuts, and snack mix. I looked outside for a bit, and there were some very nice views.
Snacks from the basket
I just passed the next hour or so, and then the Captain came on and told us that we were just passing over Palm Springs, and that we would be beginning our descent shortly. The views were nice, and I just peered outside for the rest of the flight. I packed up all of my stuff into my bag in the overhead, and we landed on runway 25R within half an hour.
View before landing
Right as we touched down I saw Donald Trumps airplane, and was so angry that I did not have my camera handy. We taxied all the way to the north side of the airport, seeing some nice planes, including an Asiana 747, and got to the gate just a few minutes early.
Asiana 747
Overall, US was just what I expected. The product was pretty bad, but the service was quite good overall, especially on the first flight. I knew what was to come would be a lot better, so I was really excited.
At LAX:
Upon deplaning, we tried to make our way through the herd of people in this part of the terminal. We headed towards the exit, since we had to go to the Tom Bradley International Terminal. On our way out, I saw a Southwest gate which had a ton of red, white, and blue balloons, and a lot of people. I don't know whether it was a pilot's last flight, or whether a soldier was either leaving or arriving.
After a ten minute walk we made it outside, and headed for the terminal connection bus. I was a smartass and insisted that one of the buses was the right one, so we boarded it, but my dad asked the driver, and he said that it would be the next one, and that this one would be leaving the airport. We got off, and within minutes the right bus pulled up. After about ten minutes, we pulled up to TBIT (Tom Bradley International Terminal). It was huge, and had around twenty airlines. They seemed to be going in alphabetical order, so we kept walking. Eventually Qantas came, so we though Singapore would be next. We kept walking, and eventually realized that we had gone all the way to Terminal Four. We went straight back, and decided to find Singapore Airlines check in from inside the terminal, this time.
Outside the terminal
View towards the tarmac
Within a couple of minutes we made it to the Raffles check in area, and there was only one person in front of us. The First Class check in had only one person as well, and Economy was absolutely packed! I took two pictures with my small digital camera, and was quickly approached by one of the Singapore agents and told to please "not take pictures of Singapore airport operations." Whatever!
SQ Raffles & First check in
After waiting for a bit we were directed over to one of the Economy counters, and we showed the agent our e-ticket. She asked us if we were going to check any bags, and we told her that we had one that we had checked in at TPA, but that it was checked in all the way to ICN. We asked her if it would be a problem if we did not have the tag, and she said yes. She said that there was no way that she could access information on it, since the systems were completely different, and that the bag had to be retagged in LAX. Thanks US! She then took out a form to fill out, and asked us to describe the bag. After she filled everything out, she placed the sheet of paper as well as a First Class priority tag in a crate, through the baggage carousel. She said that we should see at the gate whether the bag would make it or not, and get the luggage stub there.
She printed out our Boarding Passes, which looked quite neat, and wrote on them our invitation to the Qantas Lounge, which was on the fifth floor. Boarding was supposed to be at 2:00PM, but she crossed that out and put down 1:45PM, due to the fact that we would be bussing over to the airplane from gate 117. We thanked her for her help, and went to security, which was only a few steps away.
We handed the Spanish speaking lady our boarding passes as well as passports, and joined the queue for security. It was quite long, but moved quickly, and only took about five minutes. Directly after security were a bunch of elevators, which had a sign that read "VIP Lounges," so we got on the elevator and headed to the fifth floor. This floor had many lounges, including Lufthansa. It smelled really bad, like an old attic. Each lounge was themed after a movie theater, with lights and a marquee. The Qantas lounge, which was also shared with British Airways, was the first one on the right, and we proceeded straight in.
The agent swiped our boarding passes, and we were in within a few seconds. She told us that she would make an announcement when boarding began for our flight. This lounge was relatively disappointing, considering that it was Qantas. The lounge had quite a few people in it, but was far from full.
We took a seat in the corner by the TV, where the Maury Show was playing. This episode was about "Who's your baby's daddy?" which seems slightly odd for an airline lounge. Anyway, I watched it in amusement, and went to get something to drink and eat. I got a Diet Coke, a danish, and some of the prepackaged snacks. Besides the snack basket and danishes, they had some finger sandwiches and the like, but nothing substantial. I did not eat a whole lot, since I was anticipating the fillet mignon that I preordered through Singapore's "Book the Cook."

An Italian man came and sat in our area, and asked if he could turn on the World Cup. I agreed, since I was not watching the show too much anyway, was interested in the World Cup, and I saw that his home team was playing. I watched for about half an hour and made a few phone calls before leaving the country. In the meantime, I always kept an eye on the taxiway, where there were several international heavies taxiing by. I then went to use the restroom, which was located outside the lounge, and was very dirty.

I then wandered over to the Lufthansa lounge, which was not nice at all, and had a very meager food selection. I even checked out the First Class section of their lounge, and it was still not as nice as the Qantas lounge. After spending some time there it was around 1:30PM, and boarding would begin in 15 minutes. In order to beat the rush and make sure that our bag would make it, we decided to head straight to the gate.
Upon arrival there, we already saw a lot of people lined up in the economy line, ready to be bussed to the airplane. We then asked the agent if our bag had arrived, and she apologetically said not yet. At this point we got pretty worried, given that it had been over two hours, so I decided to call USAir baggage department to see if there was anything that they could do. The terminal was very loud and my phone was very quiet, and I could hardly hear what the rep. was saying, especially over his strong agent. While I was on the phone, the agent came up to us and told us that they had found the bag, so I thanked the rep. for his time and hung up. The lady from Singapore Airlines gave us the stub, and we were almost ready to go.
Boarding area
We were the first in line in the Business/First area, and within ten minutes they started boarding all passengers on the bus. We tried to stay in the front area, and made it out on the first bus, which left within five more minutes. I am not sure whether Singapore always does this bussing, and if so, whether it is to save money or because there is no gate available. After a long drive, whereby we passed about four Qantas plane and tens of FedEx planes, we finally made it to the incredibly huge seeming and magnificent Megatop 747. At this point I was extremely excited, and had my camera ready.
Upon getting off the bus we headed to the seeming maze, to get us up towards the aircraft. It was almost as if it was a normal gate, in the middle of the tarmac. I spotted an Air Tahiti Nui plane at the gate next to us. After going up several ramps, we finally made it to the jet way. I was among the first through the jet way, and was immediately impressed by the open space.
To the plane!

In the early 1950's, Thornton began his acting career achieving great success in both TV, and film in the subsequent twenty years.
Thornton appeared in a number of guest roles alongside stars such as Tony Hancock, Dickie Henderson, Benny Hill, Sid James, Frankie Howerd, Morecambe & Wise, and many more.
Thornton is best known for his role as stern, pompous floor-walker Captain Stephen Peacock in the hit comedy series Are You Being Served? the pilot of which was aired in 1972, and ran for ten successful series before ending in 1985. The show was revived in the early 1990's spin-off Grace & Favour.
Actor Nicholas Smith, who played Head of Department Cuthbert Rumbold in the series, and it's spin-off in now the only surviving original cast member.
He also was well known for his role as Herbert 'Truly' Truelove in the long running comedy series Last Of The Summer Wine which began in 1973, and ended in 2010. Thornton joined the cast for the 18th series of the show in 1997, and remained until the shows final 31st series.
Thornton appeared in a variety of sitcoms, sketch shows, dramas, and films. His notable comedy roles included appearances in Steptoe And Son, The Goodies, No Sex Please – We're British, Sykes, Thirty Minutes Worth, Carry On Screaming, The Kenny Everett Television Show, The Bed Sitting Room, Katy Brand's Big Ass Show, Dad's Army, and HMS Paradise.
His final role was a cameo in Ray Cooney's small budget feature film Run For Your Wife which opened last month in limited release across the UK.
Thornton was born in London on the 15th of January in 1921, and is survived by his wife of 67 years, Beryl, daughter Jane, and six grandchildren. He died peacefully in his sleep this past Saturday.
David Daly, Thornton's agent told the BBC: "I have been Frank's agent since 1986 and he has been the most wonderful client as well as being a great friend. He will be sorely missed."

The Mets need a new gm that can put a sentence together. I dont know whos going to fall asleep first when Manuels talking me or him. This is what he did when talking about who will be at first base. "uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh daniel murphy uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh…... The Mets need a new starting rotation. This is what thay couldve had: johan santana, roy halladay, Derek Lowe, Scott Kazmir and john maine, but they have santana, maine, pelfry,perez and hernandez,2 of these are automatic losses(perez and livan) 1 is injured, and pelfry you never know what you will get from him. They only win when santana pitches and he has to pitch a complete game to win or the bullpen will blow it. they just took the best bullpen pitcher besides k rod out of the bullpen. They also need to get a new firstbaseman, delgados getting old, possibly Adrian Gonzalaz????? No probably not because the gm is HORRIBLE!!!! They also need a new left fielder but they can just keep murphy at first. who will be the left fielder?

Dem boys seh…Thief man does defend he mattee
Anybody who defend thiefing got to be a thief. That is why in certain place when people ketch and beat thief man all dem who run and holler pun people not to beat dem got to be thieves too. Dem boys been in parliament de other day when people start asking question about de drug deal between de Ministry of Health and de company that use to mek drugs in this country.
De government arrange things in such a way that only this company can sell drugs to de government. De Auditor General complain bout this but dem didn't care. Dem continue to give away de people money. Now de people asking if de drugs did come in and some people talking how dem got to check.
When de people who want know how de government money spend start fuh ask more question is then dem boys see who does encourage de thiefing. One of dem claim how he gun talk to de man who import de drugs and see if he can get de man fuh sue some of dem who asking all dem question.
That is threatening and only when people sharing in something that dem does threaten to protect that thing and some does even protect it.
Dem boys seh that dem always believe that everybody want to protect de state funds but it look like if some want to protect and some definitely want to see scampishness because dem does get a drawback.
De story ain't done yet. Is more question in dem tail and dem boys waiting fuh see who gun push in dem mouth fuh defend de way how de money move from de Treasury to one company and one company only.
De thing that got dem boys worried is how de people tell de parliament that dem store any drugs fuh free when Leslie tell de media how de government does pay fuh store de drugs because de Ministry ain't got space. Dem boys got de recording.
Talk half and watch fuh more crookishness.

Migraine is the most common acute and recurrent headache syndrome in children. It is characterized by periodic episodes of paroxysmal headache accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and relief with sleep.
The epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and diagnosis of migraine headaches in children are reviewed here. Classification and treatment of migraine headaches in children and an approach to the general evaluation of headaches in children are discussed separately. (See "Classification of migraine in children" and "Acute treatment of migraine in children" and "Headache in children: Approach to evaluation and general management strategies".)
Migraine occurs at all ages and may even begin in infancy [1,2]. The disorder begins before age 20 years in 50 percent of cases.
The onset of migraine tends to be earlier in boys than girls (7 versus 10 years of age) [3]. Thus, before age seven, affected boys outnumber girls. The male preponderance persists until puberty; by 10 to 14 years of age, more females are affected [4,5].
The prevalence of migraine may be as high as 2.5 percent of children less than seven years of age (figure 1). By age 17 years, as many as 8 percent of males and 23 percent of females have experienced migraine [3,6,7]. Family history is positive in the majority of patients [8].

I've been disappointed in the past when a "classic" rock star puts out a studio album of new work twenty or thirty years after their last top-ten single made the charts. That's not the case with High Hopes, Springsteen's 2014 release.
Of course, Springsteen hardly falls into the category of the star who rests on his or her laurels, putting on concert tours that rely completely on their catalog of hits-gone-by and releasing what seems like dozens of versions of "greatest hits"; albums.
The Boss never stopped putting out good, new music at fairly regular intervals, and most of his studio releases have made it to #3 or higher on the album charts, with the exception of the underrated 1995 The Ghost of Tom Joad, which only made it to #11 ("only" being a term that applies because we're talking about Springsteen).
2012's Wrecking Ball was good. High Hopes is even better.
The title track is actually a cover. Tim Scott (AKA Ledfoot) wrote recorded it with L.A. band The Havalinas in 1990--a great track in its own right. Springsteen's version has more power but, to be fair, the Havalinas didn't have the Boss' virtually unlimited production resources. Also, there were just three of them and Springsteen has, well, just about everyone. There are even tracks on the album featuring Clarence Clemons and Danny Federici, who died in 2011 and 2008. There are also re-workings of songs from previous releases, including "American Skin (41 Shots)," which was first heard on the Live in New York City , and the title track from The Ghost of Tom Joad. Both are distinctly different from the original versions.
The former Rage Against the Machine member not only brings his scouring riffs to the album, but he's touring with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on the upcoming 2014 tour. If you want to decide for yourself whether he's a great addition to the group, check out the video for "Harry's Place," possibly my favorite song from the album.

Individual concerts will, of course, vary, but here is the set list from the February 8, 2014 appearance at the Perth Arena in Perth, Australia:

(USA Today) - A 20-year-old Missouri man was charged Friday with planning a mass shooting this weekend at either a screening of the latest Twilight movie or at a local Walmart.
Blaec Lammers, of Bolivar, is accused of buying assault rifles and more than 400 rounds of ammunition in a plot mimicking the July mass shooting that killed 12 and wounded 57 at an Aurora, Colo., theater showing the premiere of the latest Batman movie, the Springfield News-Leader reports.
Lammers was charged with first-degree assault, making a terroristic threat and armed criminal action. He is being held on $500,000 bail.
His mother contacted police Thursday, saying Lammers had bought assault weapons and ammunition, and was concerned he "may have intentions of shooting people at the movie," Breaking Dawn Part 2, according to court documents. He also stated he might instead target a Walmart store "because if he ran out of ammunition he would be able to break the glass where the ammunition is stored and get more, writes the News-Leader, published by Gannett, USA TODAY's parent.
Bolivar police said that Lammers told an officer he had bought two assault rifles for hunting. When asked about "recent shootings in the news," he "stated that he had a lot in common with the people. .. [He] stated he was quiet, kind of a loner, had recently purchased firearms and didn't tell anybody about it, and had homicidal thoughts," according to a probable-cause statement.
Lammers said he bought the guns Monday and Tuesday -- police did not say where -- and went to nearby Aldrich on Tuesday to practice shooting.
KCTV5, citing court records, reports that in 2009, Lammers "claimed he wanted to fatally stab a Walmart employee and followed the employee around the store before he was contacted by officers." The station says he was "not convicted in state court" but does not say whether he was charged


text: and that means it is time to upgrade. I am putting a new front end on my 04 hardrock. I am having trouble deciding what the best fork for my bicycle would be. I am torn between the 06 reba with 100mm of travel,the float 130 R or F130 RLC. I am on a bit of a budget but then again i can part with my money fairly easilly as long as i think im getting a deal and doing the right thing. i currently have a fork with 100mm on travel already so i am somewhat inclined to purchase the reba because of the price and it being the same size as my current fork. will an additional 20 mm mess of my geometry that much? Thanks in advance for all the input! Take care and happy trails!

When I call the Open("[some URL]") method in Selenium, it waits until all resources (images, CSS, JS) are downloaded. But how does it know that the browser is done requesting resources?
Here's my snippet of driver code (in C#):
DefaultSelenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium(
"localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://www.stackoverflow.com");
// open my profile page
The URL above is for example only. In the case where I have an AJAX call wrapped in a very long delay in a
setTimeout() triggered in the body
onload event handler, Selenium won't actually wait for that AJAX call before continuing... I have to manually tell Selenium to wait using
So how does Selenium detect when a normal page (without AJAX) is finished loading?

The Game Warden
Yes, sir! He met us at the gate and checked us out and then said he would be happy to take a pic. I have dealt with some real unfriendly wardens but this guy was a gentleman and a credit to the badge. I have only dealt with two other that were that polite out of about seven and I have never even been cited or warned by one. Glad to know there are a few like that out there.

Sensible heart...
I love my life even with these difficulties im going through now and then. I don't complain becouse every one struggles about something.I have friends and music,honestly these are things i wouldnt like to wake up in the morning knowing they don't exist in my life.They will never understand how much I love them,and what kind of feeling i get every time i hear from them,how that makes me happy. Truly happy. And music,isn't it simply amazing how,in whenever trouble you get,there's a song which can decribe everything you feel,but you just can't admit. It literally speaks your feelings. Speaks what you feel. And then you feel like you're not alone,like you're never going to be alone. I can't even count how many times music saved my life,or saved me from making the biggest mistakes in my life.
So what more,im afraid. Im afraid that this life is going to throw me at something I can't handle,something I cant deal with. Im so afraid of losing people I love,i lost so many people I loved. Im afraid of growing up,dealing with real life this time.I just am.
And you know what tears me apart? Memories. Those cruel reminders of how perfect life once we had,and how beautiful things used to be. And those people in your life,long walks and talks and moments you didn't want to let go of.How you'd give all your future to get back to those moments.But we wish for impossible. Right now im thinking of that one person. We know we all have the one,just one person who changed all the colours in our life,who brought us the purest emotions,brighter sky and made our life so much better. And we all remember losing that special one. Well now im thinking,and i'd kill for just one time to hear them whispering my name. Just one day with them,becouse that one day always felt like a lifetime i dont want to let go. It felt like heaven,a place i didnt want to leave. Walking away from all of it was the hardest thing I ever had to do,and still,when im thinking about the time,it's like im still there-in the safest and warmest eyes,which glow with the depth of universal love.Though it's clear that you pushed me away from your life,my heart won't seem to let you go even after many many months that separate us. I don't understand how could you let someone who was a part of you,so easily and without even giving the slighest effort to fight. But maybe that's the reason why I still care and hope.It's just the illusion of who i wish you would have been. And it kills me.
So i felt like i have to get this out of my chest,im such a mess. But anyway thank you for reading this.
I must say that I honestly and completely agree with everything you wrote. This is EXACTLY how I've been feeling recently!!! I'm also so thankful for those few people in my life that I truly love and the music that literally saved my life many times, as you said. And like you, I hate the thought of losing those precious things, when I've already lost so much. I had that one person in my life that I loved more than anything and like Papa Roach sings, "We never fell in love, we only fell apart." And that's exactly what happened. It was the worst, but I survived and I'm happier... However, I still think about him. So I totally know what you mean. Sorry for making this such a long comment lol, but thanks so much for sharing your feelings because you perfectly described everything I'm feeling right now:) Love you, my fellow Roacher!!!

text: I am having a problem installing the Ubuntu ZCS 5.0 Open Source version. After I double click on install.sh, the script checked for existing installation, then prompted me to press Return to continue, I pressed Return and the terminal just closed. I haven't figured out what the problem is. Can you please help?
