Secret Tapes Allowed in Case Against Lawyer
Staff - November 30, -0001
Secret tape recordings made by a lawyer at the behest of federal agents can be used as evidence against indicted bankruptcy attorney Daniel J. Gates, who is accused of embezzling millions from his clients, including former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Rod Woodson.
U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti recently ruled that all but one of the incriminating recordings made by attorney Patricia L. Blais in 2002 are admissible.
Gates, former owner of Gates & Associates, had tried to argue that Blais was his lawyer and that the tapes were illegal because they violate the attorney-client privilege.
Another one bites the dust. Details here from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
Woman in Wendy's Finger Case Arrested
Anna Ayala, the Las Vegas woman who claimed to have bitten into a severed finger at a San Jose Wendy's restaurant, was arrested Thursday night in connection with the case, San Jose police said.
San Jose police spokesman Enrique Garcia said Ayala, 39, was arrested, but he declined to provide further details.
"We've arrested her in connection with the Wendy's investigation. She's currently in custody" in Las Vegas, said Garcia late Thursday night.
Police did not say on what charges Ayala was arrested. A press conference is scheduled at the San Jose Police Department at 1 p.m. today to discuss details about the arrest, Garcia said.
I had read earlier that she had been arrested and allegedly charged with grand theft, but not that it was in connection with the Wendy's investigation. Details here from the San Francisco Chronicle.
UPDATE: The Smoking Gun has the San Jose Police Department's press release from Friday Apr. 22 online here. Ayala's in serious trouble now. And it sounds like she deserves every bit of it.
Practicing Law In Paradise?
Being an American lawyer in the Palau Islands (just north of New Guinea and west of Micronesia) might seem idyllic — especially to a stressed-out associate toiling away at some Big Firm in, say, New York or L.A. But its allure dims a little with the news that the job entails being beaten with a baseball bat by the "paramount Chief" of the place, who will be spending the next year in jail for doing just that, according to this.
Colleges Fight Back in Music File Sharing Cases
Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have moved to quash subpoenas seeking the names of students suspected of Internet music piracy, saying they're illegal because they weren't properly filed.
The schools said the subpoenas, issued by the Recording Industry Association of America, didn't allow for adequate time to notify the students, as mandated by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.

Evangelists Have Enforcers?
I am so out of touch with the world of evangelism.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A fugitive accused of beating two teenagers on evangelist Tony Alamo's orders must pay $3 million in restitution, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Harry F. Barnes awarded $1.5 million each to Spencer Ondrisek and Seth Calagna, who were both raised in Alamo's church in Fouke in southwestern Arkansas. The teens accused Alamo's alleged enforcer, John Kolbek, of battery, false imprisonment, outrage and conspiracy.

Defendant, Deputies Scuffle in Courtroom
Cotati resident even gets hit in the face by his own attorney
A defendant in a Sonoma County courtroom got rough justice Wednesday when he was punched in the face by his own attorney and shocked twice with a Taser stun gun after he tried to wrestle a court bailiff's gun from its holster.
Cotati resident Martin E. Hirtz, 44, was in Superior Court Judge Lawrence Antolini's court at about 9 a.m. on a probation violation charge related to a previous conviction for assaulting a peace officer when the chaos began. Hirtz made a move for the gun as he was being taken from the courtroom into custody, according to a statement by the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.
Hirtz lunged at bailiff Eric Greenband's holster, grabbed hold tightly and tried to pull out the weapon by jerking it back and forth and pushing Greenband backward against a short court partition, sheriffs said. Hirtz unsnapped the holster and partially removed the gun as another deputy sheriff joined the fray and called for backup.
Seeing that the officers could not subdue Hirtz, his own defense attorney, the prosecutor and the probation officer on duty jumped into the melee to try to control the defendant. Despite several blows from Deputy Public Defender Jeff Mitchell and baton strikes to the head and arms by Deputy Sheriff Will Conner, Hirtz would not relent.
It was not until another deputy sheriff shot Hirtz with a Taser probe and shocked him that he began to give in. After a second shock, deputies finally subdued Hirtz and hauled him away.
I can't tell you how glad I am that I don't practice criminal law. Details here from the San Francisco Chronicle.
NY Judge: Parachute Off Any Skyscraper You Want (As Long As You're Careful)
Jump off whatever you want – just be professional about it. That's the moral of the story after a Manhattan judge ruled that a professional stunt-jumper's attempt to parachute off the Empire State Building last spring wasn't "depraved" enough to be a felony.
Until yesterday, Jeb Corliss, 30, had faced up to seven years in prison for first-degree reckless endangerment. But Corliss is a free man – and the charge against him is dismissed – thanks to a legal loophole big enough to jump one of his $3,500 customized stunt parachutes through.
Under state law, a charge of first-degree reckless endangerment requires prosecutors to prove Corliss showed a "depraved indifference" to the risk of killing bystanders. But Justice Michael Ambrecht found that Corliss, who has some 3,000 successful jumps under his belt, was too experienced and too obviously concerned with public safety to have met the "depraved indifference" standard. Corliss' careful planning – the stuntman had factored in wind conditions and traffic-light patterns to ensure he wouldn't land atop moving cars – precludes a finding of recklessness, the judge ruled.
"The circumstances surrounding this admittedly dangerous stunt suggest that rather than indifference to the risk of harm to others, [Corliss] took affirmative steps to ensure the safety of others," the judge wrote.

The Bush Administration Lies
I try to avoid injecting much opinion or politics into this weblog, but I feel a civic duty here.
All politicians spin and selectively recite the facts that favor them — it's the nature of the beast.
But I'm increasingly convinced that the Bush administration takes it a notch further, and just flat out lies. I'm convinced that they have repeatedly decided "let's do plan A," and then come out and told the press and public that "we're doing plan B" when the two plans are diametrically opposed. That's brazen. That's unacceptable.
I'm increasingly convinced that the core of this administration has a radical "neo-con" agenda that they are systematically carrying out while knowingly lying about what they are doing because they know the American people would be outraged if they understood what the administration was really doing.
Just two examples:
Donald Rumsfeld was recently (3/14/04) caught red-handed on CBS's "Face The Nation" lying about earlier lies he had told about Iraq. Read all about it here.
And Congressman Henry A. Waxman has compiled a report and database of the lies that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell and Rice told to the American public and the world to get us to go to war in Iraq. It makes compelling reading and speaks for itself. You can see for yourself here.
I think the American people are beginning to wake up and notice all of this. I hope so. And I hope the mainstream, non-partisan press lends a hand.
"The Lobster Police"
Why are federal officials prosecuting people for importing lobster tails in plastic bags instead of cardboard boxes? Or because a small percentage of the lobsters in a particular shipment were less than 51/2 inches in possible violation of Honduran law? Law Prof Ellen Podgor and Heritage Senior Research Fellow Paul Rosenweig ask: Have we won the war on terror or the drug war? Why the waste of resources? Read their op-ed in today's Washington Times, Bum Lobster Rap.

Managing Director of a UK training business
I had reason to call on Julian Taylor Solicitors' expertise as I needed some expert advice on a compromise agreement with an ex employer. They were recommended to me by a friend who works in HR who had achieved some excellent outcomes working with Nicola Wallbank. I found Nicola to be extremely professional and helpful. She carefully guided me through the process and stepped in whenever a problem with the employer occurred. We ultimately reached a satisfactory and painless outcome which was a testament to Nicola's patience and professionalism. I have no hesitation in recommending Nicola and Julian Taylor Solicitors (and indeed I have done so on many an occasion).
Nicola, supported us on a legal matter, this was handled superbly in a very professional manner, her knowledge supported our case with a very positive outcome.
University Academic
May I take this opportunity to say that it has been a pleasure to work with you, and I have been impressed with your intelligence, knowledge and diligence. Thank you for this!
Independent business owner
I would happily recommend Julian Taylor Solicitors where service is both professional and personal and delivered in a friendly, 'non-stuffy' manner with the client very much at the centre.
Former Senior Partner of a Central London law firm
Julian Taylor Solicitors were recommended to me by one of the foremost barristers' chambers specialising in Employment Law. As sometime senior partner of a central London law firm I was in the unhappy position of having to take proceedings in the Tribunal against my ex-colleagues. My opponents employed many delaying tactics including unnecessary appeals on preliminary points of law and what might charitably be called obfuscation. Throughout the three years it took to get to the full hearing Julian's very personal hand rested gently on my shoulder. He has many talents including a strong intellect and knowledge of his subject, but I particularly valued his huge support and good sense in keeping me from behaving like my Labrador and heading off into the woods to chase rabbits.
The damages I was eventually awarded came in the middle of the range of his forecast at the inception of proceedings. His skill also won me an award of aggravated damages, which are very rare in the Tribunal – I believe found to be due in less than 1% of cases.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Julian and his excellent team to anyone who requires first class practical and measured advice on employment matters.
Investment services professional in London
The clear and practical advice I was given resulted in better discussions with my employer in a redundancy situation. Julian Taylor Solicitors were able to quickly digest detail and highlight only the important issues for attention. This contrasted against the sometimes sloppy and delayed work we could see from the brand name City firm used by HR. I also encourage those considering a new job offer to invest in advice from Julian Taylor Solicitors to explain any issues in the contract and suggest constructive amendments. Julian Taylor Solicitors was recommended to me via a relative in the legal profession, and I can only pass on that recommendation to others having experienced good service and advice first hand.
Chief Executive in finance industry in London
Having worked in a number of roles in the financial services sector I have used Julian 's services on a number of occasions and have always been impressed with his ability to quickly understand the issues and provide practical solutions being both sensible and pragmatic. I continue to work with a number of large law firms and it is a welcome contrast to work with Julian Taylor Solicitors who are able to provide the level of legal knowledge but on a more personal basis.
Managing Director in the construction industry
I have no hesitation in recommending Julian and his team. As a construction industry professional with over 35 years' experience I have engaged them on more than one occasion. Julian is quick to grasp and assess the complexity of issues and provide sound advice from both a commercial and personal point of view. He has always been on hand to discuss matters at length and often out of hours, I have never felt that advice or service was compromised by budgetary constraints. I can, without reservation, say that Julian's advice and support will compliment and add value to any business or individual.
I found myself in a very awkward, somewhat complex employment situation which was causing me great anxiety. Faced with exclusion and potential dismissal, I confided in a friend who is an HR professional. She referred me to Nicola at Julian Taylor Solicitors, having always had positive outcomes, whether in her own personal professional experience or for those to whom she recommended her.
I am very glad (and relieved) to say that my own case and experience did not damage my friend's 100% record. My appeal was not only successful, it was judged by my employer's HR representative to be the best they had ever seen, resulting in a resolution in record time.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Nicola Wallbank to anyone who finds themselves in need of legal advice in any employment situation.

Be still… Stay Silent… A Psalm of Trust.
I was called a manipulator.
I was accused of being a seducer.
I was accused of being an adulterer.
I was said to have no friends and said I'd have many problems in the future.
I was accused of being a helpless victim.
"You're undermining me", "You're Judas to me." The painful words flowed as each one ripped into my deeper into my heart and soul.
I am not perfect, but I meant no Ill will. I repeated to myself.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" was my echo trying to figure out why I couldn't keep it together anymore.
I cried and nearly trembled as I shared … recounting the stories… Watching the dismay on the man's face… I couldn't read it… Maybe he thought I was making this up… My emotions had no where else to go… I felt torn apart… so vulnerable no longer knowing how to protect myself.
To the one who broke me— I don't ever wish to see or hear again… But I am grateful for all the damage… because through it… I learned to be still to be silent and hear the One whose words spoke over me are more powerful than yours. And it is His words, not yours that brought me back to life.

Q: ImageButton Stretching Background Image I am trying to create an ImageButton with no border but I am running into an issue with the sizing of the image button.
Using Eclipse ADT I drag an ImageButton to the layout and select my background image. The image button appears as follows:

As you can see there is a border between the background image and the image button perimeter which I would like to get rid of. To do so, I set the padding property to 0dp. The image button now looks like this:

Finally, I set the scale type to fitXY:

Notice that the image is stretched and is no longer the size of the original image. (I want the ImageButton size to be exactly the same size as the background image.)
Here is a snapshot of all 3 images next to each other to make the difference more clear:

I have tried re-sizing the image, setting the max size properties, etc. but nothing seems to prevent the image button from stretching the background image.
How do I prevent the image from stretching like it is?
UPDATE
I also tried setting scale type to matrix but here is what happened:

A: Just set your image as android:background for button and set layout_height and layout_width for button to wrap_content

A: Maybe this might help, but I also know its best practice to make different sized images from android development.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/images/overview

A: Use an ImageView instead and set it to be clickable. Set the scaleType to matrix (which will cause the ImageView to be as big as the image inside of it).
The problem with ImageButton is that it adds a background that causes padding, etc.

A: You can set
android:background="@null"

Hello everyone. I just picked up a '78 Silverface Champ and I have to tell you I am really impressed with this little amp. Very simple, Volume, Bass, Treble, but when you crank this little puppy up to 5 and beyond, it breaks up really nasty and just screams some chunky, crunchy blues. I've played my American Strat, Les Paul, Emperor and Tele thru it and they all sound great. For a little amp it surely picks up every nuance of your playing, so you got to be clean and accurate! You can get some raunchy, swampy slide sounds, too! O.k., onto my question: It came with a Ruby 6V6GTBC power tube and I read that this tube is weak compared to others. The Preamp and rectifier are Fender tubes. I know a lot of harp players use Champs. What would all of you who swear by Champs use as a good bluesy tube combination? She sounds great right now, but how can she sound better? Thanks for any suggestions.
You might want to google on "Champ Mods". There are lotsa mod kit suppliers out there and it might be interesting to see what they're using. I had a '78 Silverface as well, but I can't remember what I was using for tubes in it. Don't make the mistake I did.... don't ever sell it. I miss it primarily 'cuz it was great for rehearsals, especially 'cuz it was small enough to tuck under your armpit, and it was so darn cute-- a classic Fender in its smallest derivative. Also, don't make the mistake of trying to make it to be something that it isn't. It's only got so much speaker and so much enclosure and it's never gonna be a Princeton or a Deluxe Reverb.
I don't really buy the wine-tasting rubbish that surrounds tube brands. I haven't noticed much difference in preamp tubes. Power tubes in a push-pull configuration can sound audibly different between sets but I suspect this is mostly a question of how well matched (or evenly biased) the tube pairs are.
But that said, tubes are cheap enough to buy a few and see what sounds good to you. It's not a waste, you'll need spares eventually.
No worries about the bias in a silverface, it's class A. In my tweed champ clone I have a Sovtek 12ax7, Tung-Sol 6V6 GT (about the best Soviet tube) and a JAN5Y3WGTA for the rectifier. It's a veritable tone Godzilla. If you can find them, like the JAN-Philips I have, and if you can afford them, NOS either, Brimar, Mullard or Seimans, are all recommended. The new chinese made 12ax7 and EL34 Mullards sound great. I have them in my Marshall and they smoke the Ruby's and JJ's I had in there before.

I totaly agree, I got caught up in the NOS tube thing about 10 years ago. I bought a crapload of NOS Mullard preamp tubes. Several different ECC83 variants. When it came right down to it in a band setting I couldn't tell any diff in my Rivera R55-12. Then I got away from playing electric for a while and found out that the mullards were in high demand on the bay. I think I sold about 16 of them at an average price of $85 each (I paid about $10 ea. for them).. I'm still not playing electric all that much, and I'm back to the original tubes that came w/ the amp. Maybe in a small amp like the Champ or Princeton in a quieter setting it may be more noticable, but IMHO in the real world it's not.
My silver face champ has the tweed mode (delete the treble and bass controls) just has a volume now. The tubes are an EH6v6 with a new remake of the Tung Sol peanut. But the best change was a new, better 4ohm speaker. Mine is a Kendricks, but I wouldn't hestate to get a Weber one. The new speaker made my tone better stronger across the board (especially mids and bass) and louder.
A good speaker makes a big difference!
I Pulled the original tubes and speaker from my silverface champ. Set them aside as I can reinstall them at a later date and the amp will be 100% original. The brittle paper in the 20 + year old speaker won't stand up to too much loud playing. I put JJ tubes in and a new Jensen alnico. It sounds good and takes pedals very well. The speaker makes much more tone difference than the tubes if that's what you are looking to do. Make sure you put a 4 ohm speaker not 8 or 16. If you are looking to bypass the tone controls you just need to turn the treble and bass to 10.
God bless the Silverface Champ, I sez. From a harper's standpoint, I'd sum it up to say that the little devils have more cute factor than the slew of little cheap major mfg's.' amps like the Crates,Fenders,Voxes, etc., primarily due to their 30+ years of building credibility, and, their capabilities are more suited to guitar, but adequate and handy for harp; Given those factors, their outside dimensions being Lilliputian as they are, portability wins the field. God save the Champ (and a few others, for cross-breeding purposes). On the other hand, small speaker enclosures create sound that lacks depth... if you're a guy (girls, escuse me please) who likes nice lungs on a girl, you might have to develop an interest in the pretty face instead.

According to ADB Technical Assistance Report, this TA will: 1. Assess the likely impact of investment and other FDI-related provisions in the draft RCEP agreement for enhanced FDI flows in ASEAN+6 2. Identify barriers to enhanced SMEs' FDI flows between ASEAN+6 countries 3. Propose policy reforms, capacity development programs, and private sector transactional support to translate likely RCEP provisions and the potential internationalization of SMEs into enhanced FDI flows in the ASEAN+6 countries, particularly SME-driven FDI for agriculture, manufacturing, and services. The impact will be enhanced economic linkages between East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. The outcome will be the promotion of inter-subregional FDI flows, especially by SMEs.

From No. 668 onwards, tsume problem with instant replayable solution is available.
From No.684 onwards, replayable solution for the previous day's problem is available.
Adopting replayable board makes you approach these problems more easily. I am sure solving these problems every day will give you much improvement in your shogi strength.
Here is one advice. If you try to read through the tsume line but fails to solve it within 5 minutes, then replay the answer. It's no problem. Taking a time to try to solve tsume problems regularly is important. You do not have to stick to solve each problem by yourself. Even some professional players do the similar things. So don't hesitate to replay the answers without feeling ashamed.
The two links above was already introduced in the entry titled "Tsume problems to improve your endgame skill" on December 14 2006. You can refer to the article for other tsumeshogi resources in Japanese.
I have tried to use this replayable board. But if I save KIF files on my desktop, they are destroyed to some unreadable ASCII code. I think it is quite difficult to handle KIF files with western Windows Version. (With WIN XP, I can actually READ and WRITE Japanese text easily on my computer.
Sorry It seems I can't understand well what you are decribing. I will be sending you an email directly for further communication on this.

FIRST POST – March 21, 2012 – RUSSIA'S SERGEI LAVROV NOW BASKS IN THE GREATEST DIPLOMATIC ACHIEVEMENT IN MODERN RUSSIAN HISTORY.
Yesterday, Sergei Lavrov, criticized the Syrian government's response to the first manifestations of dissent in the country, essentially labeling them "crude", "misguided" and "erroneous". Mr. Lavrov could never do this while Russia perceived the situation in Syria as threatening to her ally, Dr. Bashar Al-Assad. The trade-off now for all that support and success is Syrian acquiescence to a Russian campaign to demonstrate the Kremlin's sincerity in trying to resolve the crisis in Syria peacefully. The Russian gambit has been literally, brilliant. Lavrov's move now to isolate the West by acting as the true proponent of peaceful negotiation maybe an historical masterstroke no less resplendent than Kissinger's disengagement from Vietnam. Russia's triumph is now at an historical watershed.
We don't know if Mr. Lavrov plays chess. He has all the qualities of a master: calm, an organized mind and a deliciously phlegmatic type of cunning.
Kofi Annan's mission has played right into the hands of the Kremlin. Now that the military opposition has been extirpated from Homs with rag-tag bands of ineffective, directionless deserters trying to find a graceful way back into the society they betrayed, Russia can welcome the very "objective" Annan into the mixture. Annan had impressed the Russians when he was Secretary General by declaring the American and British invasion of Iraq as "illegal" under international law.
They clearly sense that his mission will work out well for both the Syrian government and Russian policy. Annan already has seen what the Russian diplomats have been describing as the opposition's intransigence and brutality. Russia's call for both sides to cease acts of violence has found a positive reverberation in Annan's new plan to bring the Syrian crisis to an end.
Annan, a Ghanaian by birth, is highly respected for his integrity. He will not please the Syrian exile dissidents.
With the U.S. increasingly drawing back on the Syrian issue and both Sarkozy and Cameron licking their wounds after a near collapse of their entire foreign policy in the region, Russia has moved in with the grace of a giant Kodiak bear prepared to swallow everything in its path. When we called the arrival of the Soviet fleet into Tartous as 'Checkmate", we at SyrPer had no idea that the real endgame was still to be played out and won in the diplomatic arena. BRAVO, MR. LAVROV!

Martin Scorsese opens up about his 'near-death' drug addiction and how he recovered
Jason Guerrasio
"Silence."
Jonathan Leibson/Getty
With classics like "Mean Streets," "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," and "Taxi Driver" already behind him, Martin Scorsese was a director on the rise in Hollywood when he made the musical drama "New York, New York," starring Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro, in 1977.
The movie became the first critical and box-office disaster of Scorsese's career, and the pressure of making a movie of that size led to stress and drug addiction for the legendary filmmaker.
"After finishing 'New York, New York,' I took chances," Scorsese told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview. "[I was] out of time and out of place and also in turmoil in my own life and embracing the other world, so to speak, with a kind of attraction to the dangerous side of existence. Then on Labor Day weekend, I found myself in a hospital, surprised that I was near death."
At 35, Scorsese was down to 109 pounds, he says, affected by both his addiction and asthma.
"I was kept in a hospital for 10 days and nights, and they took care of me, these doctors, and I became aware of not wanting to die and not wasting [my life]," he said.
The Oscar winner reflects back at this time as he prepares to release a movie he's been trying to make for close to 30 years, "Silence." Starring Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, and Liam Neeson, it's based on Shûsaku Endô's 1966 novel about Jesuit priests who travel to Japan to propagate Christianity.
Scorsese sees his dark time in the '70s as his wake-up call to better his life so he could continue his craft.
He did just that. He went on to make "Raging Bull" in 1980, "The King of Comedy" in 1982, and "The Last Temptation of Christ" in 1988. The latter, a controversial look at the life of Jesus that lead to nationwide protests of the movie by religious groups, came around the time he first discovered the book "Silence."
"Silence" opens in theaters December 23.

Where is the Media Attention?
As per usual, I am late to participating in the discussion.
As many have said, the Met Gala was a major disappointment. Yes, there were several outfits with great meaning, but with a theme as broad and unusual as "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," many managed to miss the mark. Some took the theme to mean American independence, but it was apparently supposed to be all about celebrating fashion made in America/American fashion (according to Vogue & Glamour). Still, some of the looks were incredibly disappointing and didn't make sense with the theme… at least, upon first glance provided by the media:
Kim Kardashian, Vogue
Jack Harlow, Vanity Fair
Kendall Jenner, Elle
Mindy Kaling, Us
However, there were a few stand outs that needed more recognition:
Debbie Harry, The Girl Sun
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, USA Today
Lili Reinhart, Bravo
Speaking of the media, as someone who didn't watch the Met Gala live, I relied on news and media outlets for ALL of the looks. Boy, was I kept in the dark.
Misled media attention focused on the big names, like the Kardashians, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka (who did not fail because she focused on paying homage to her Haitian and Japanese cultures). Instead, the media should have focused on people who represented the theme, who understood the assignment, like A$AP Rocky.
This brings me to Jeremy Pope, the true winner of the Met Gala and representing the theme for Black people.
Sadiaa
He is wearing the uniform of slaves. What some thought was a train was actually an oversized cotton broadcloth picking sack. The entire outfit, including his boutonniere, was made of cotton. On Instagram, James Flemons, the designer of the picking sack Pope wore, wrote, "Cotton, the fabric of our lives, came forward. Cotton is entrenched in the pain of slavery and the commodity of Black bodies. What better platform than the beauty of a Black male body draped in cotton to bridge the narrative from pain to glory?" [courtesy of Sadiaa]. Keenan "HIGz" Higgins from NewsOne writes, "… a Black man being able to dress freely in 2021 as a way to bring their struggle to the forefront of fashion's elite is more powerful than words can say."
About his look, Jeremy Pope writes on Instagram, "They planted seeds of beauty,/ tended to fields with unspeakable strength,/ & harvested a kind of excellence that would outlive them for centuries. So that we could one day stand up, stretch toward the sun, & tell their story."
Where was this in the media? A coworker told me about Jeremy Pope only a couple of days, and he had to find it on Facebook. How is everyone going to say "Black Lives Matter" and refuse to give Jeremy's outfit the attention and energy it truly deserved? This just further exemplifies the fact that everyone who was "supporting" Black people last year were only temporary supporters because it was trending. Shall we bring up the lack of Black designers at the Gala, after a year of promising to "support the Black community?" Shall we bring up the fact that people only know George Floyd's name and not the countless others who lost (and continue to lose) their lives because we're stuck in a world that doesn't like our skin color? Shall we bring up what's happening at the U.S. border with Haitians who simply want freedom, a better life?
I have no words to describe how truly let down I feel. By the media. By celebrities. By everyone who swore up and down they supported Black people, who swore up and down they would educate themselves and still flaunt their privilege instead of using it to better the lives of not only the Black community but also the AAPI and Hispanic communities.
When it comes to the Met Gala, Jeremy Pope understood the assignment and is the only one with an A+.
I'm waiting and praying the rest of the world truly wakes up.

England need to be more clinical, made Kohli work for runs, says Jos Buttler

England need to be more clinical, made Kohli work for runs, says Jos Buttler (file photo)
Wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler feels England need to be more clinical in some aspects, including catching, as they seek to extend their lead over India in the second Test starting here on Thursday. Virat Kohli may have compiled a fine century in the series opener but ahead of the Lord's Test, Buttler also took solace from the way the Indian captain was made to work for his runs. The hosts lead 1-0 in the five-match series following their 31-run victory in Birmingham.
"It was a brilliant hundred from Kohli in the first innings, but you have to give the bowlers credit too. He really had to battle for all of his runs, and we created some chances which weren't taken. That's something for us to work on this week, trying to be more clinical," Buttler wrote on Sky Sports.

"Even though we won at Edgbaston, there are definitely some areas for us to work on. We were 216-3 in the first innings, with Root and Jonny Bairstow going very well, and we didn't capitalise on that. And then, bowling, we had India 100-5, but allowed them to get up close to our score.
"They are a couple of areas we need to brush up on while, individually, I had a very quiet game, so I'm looking to contribute a lot more.
I still feel in a good place. I've been in the form of my life this summer, so I'm trying not to let one poor game to affect that. I'll work hard in the nets this week, and I look forward to what is always a special occasion playing at Lord's."
All-rounder Ben Stokes, who played an influential role in the Edgbaston win, is not a part of the Lord's Test and Buttler said it is going to be a "massive miss".
"Stokes is going to be a massive miss at Lord's, but we knew he wasn't going to be involved. And, any time he isn't in the side, it gives the chance to others to try and fill his shoes, just as Sam Curran did at Edgbaston. He has an incredibly bright future ahead of him."

Marty Wilde: I hope my coronavirus jab encourages others to get vaccinated
Tom Horton, PA
Marty Wilde has said he hopes his experience of being vaccinated against coronavirus "influences a lot of people" to do the same.
The 81-year-old rock and roll star was pictured getting his jab earlier this month after the rollout of the vaccine began.
He told ITV's Good Morning Britain he is "feeling great" after getting the vaccine.
(Ian West/PA)
"I hope that it influences a lot of people out there to get the injection," he said.
"It is desperately needed by people all over this country.
"We are up against a big enemy and we are going to beat it."
The singer – who scored a string of hits in the '50s and '60s with songs such as Teenager In Love – was among the first celebrities to get the vaccine.
The rollout of the vaccine in the UK began on December 8, starting with healthcare workers, people living in care homes and the elderly.
Those receiving the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine will be given a booster jab 21 days after their first dose to ensure the best chance of being protected against the virus.
Wilde was given his jab at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage.
He said the staff were "great", adding they "spoiled me like mad".
(Dominic Lipinski/PA)
Actor Sir Ian McKellen and Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith have also shared their experiences of being vaccinated.
Wilde also discussed his new Christmas singles, Christmas All Over The World and Christmas Fantasia, which were recorded with his daughters, Roxanne and Kim.
He said it was a "mistake" to have left releasing a festive song until now.
"I never really got round to it and I should have done a long, long time ago because there's something lovely about Christmas and there's something lovely about the songs, especially revenue-wise because every year they play them and, if you get a hit song, then you are going to make a lot of money," he told the programme.
Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine on Friday claimed victory in presidential elections, rejecting as a "complete sham" early results that gave President Yoweri Museveni a wide lead.

The original ticket I bought was under $400. I was NOT happy with this at all - Kayak screwed me over and I expect compensation."

Pros: "Flight was on time"

Cons: "Delayed and crews attitude. Also being seated next to someone when the plain is half empty"
Pros: "Great service for a short commute trip."
Cons: "Everything that could have gone wrong with my flights, went wrong. On my way from LA to Raleigh (through Atlanta), I was affected by the weather conditions at Atlanta. I understand that the weather is beyond Delta's scope of control, but customer service is not. I had to wait in line at LAX for 8 hours to even get information on what had happened, and what solutions were available. The customer service call center was collapsed, and at the airport counters at one point there was ONLY ONE DELTA REPRESENTATIVE serving a line of more than 100 upset customers. This IS Delta's fault, and it is unacceptable. This definitely was under Delta's control, but in order to save a few dollars in overtime for emergency staff Delta was willing to let its customers make terribly long lines, miss their flights, their connections and consequently their commitments. It is disappointing to observe how Delta believes that a few dollars saved on extra staff and emergency measures can offset the irreparable long term damage to its business due to upset customers. My way back from Raleigh to Los Angeles was also a disaster. Without any type of explanation and nothing more than an email announcing the change, the nonstop flight I bought was replaced by a 1-stop flight with connection in Atlanta. This was NOT THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED. There is a reason I paid a premium for a nonstop flight, and Delta did not hesitate in providing me with a less valuable product without any explanation or refund. Delta prioritizes its operational metrics - an obsession to fill and overbook its capacity - over its customers' experience, one again under the foolish belief that short term savings in any way offset the long term damage of disappointed and alienated customers. I will NEVER FLY DELTA AGAIN. I will do whatever I can to transmit my experience to everyone I know. At a time where major airline carriers are in the spotlight due to abusive practices (i.e. the United passenger case), I still find hope in knowing that alternatives such as Southwest still put their customers first, over the ethereal benefits that a few-dollar savings in operational expenses can provide."
Pros: "People are good"
Cons: "Flight delays!"
Cons: "The handle on my checked bag was broken when I got it at immigration. Not sure why they pulled out the handle since it was retracted when checked in."
Pros: "Very informative staff"
Cons: "Was late"
Cons: "Flight was booked via Princess for a cruise. Flight from Vacoouver to LAX was through Delta partner Westjet. One schedule number and flight number for Delta, a different set of numbers for Westjet. Westjet requires you call them for seat assignment for a fee. Just not smooth!"
Cons: "The comfort seating on this aircraft was not as good as other Deltaflights. No extras or service."
Pros: "at least, i got to Haiti"
Cons: "delays + long flight."
Cons: "Read previous complaint"
Pros: "attendant and gate crew were very pleasant. Once the paperwork mess was corrected we did not have to wait in line to take off"
Cons: "Sat on the plane at the gate for close to an hour. Very warm It was quite a while before they told us that paperwork had been done wrong. More waiting. Plane was late by 30 minutes arriving"
Cons: "Seat comfort"
Pros: "Crew amazing!!!"
Cons: "Better maybe in giving drinks every once in a while like they use to."
Cons: "Full flight"
Cons: "No food or beverage service during covid-19"
Pros: "The flight was much awesome"
Cons: "The Frodo add more food please"
Cons: "Try not to loose my luggage next time full of my family's Christmas gifts. It was a short flight and a giant Leopard print bag. Crew was rude, didn't wake me to let me sit up. She just shoved my seat forward"
Cons: "Delayed 1.5 hours each way for maintenance, did not allow us to switch seats to sit together previously at flight and the flight was very empty. Very uncomfortable seats. Will not fly AA again"
Cons: "I got assigned seats but when we got our boarding passes we were seated several rows apart, not in the seats I got when tickets were purchased months earlier. So we got reassigned to near back of plane, not at window seats, near several families with small loud children!! Not pleasant!"
Cons: "Things are getting smaller, we're paying more for less and less; it's all reducing except the cost. Generally flying is no longer 'special' it's kind of routine, like cattle herding--and the customer is the cattle."
Pros: "The crew was fantastic and everything about the flight made it feel like how flying is meant to feel!"
Cons: "With a long flight seat space is always a concern, I was fortunate to have an empty seat next to me so I was comfortable, if had someone next to me I know that comfort level would have dropped considerably."
Pros: "That the flight attendant was really helpful"
Cons: "If the flight would have been on time"
Pros: "Great Crew"
Cons: "More room"
Pros: "Seating was comfy with techy was to entertain yourself."
Cons: "Boarding was delayed due to the plane not being ready. Baggage handling absolutely destroyed my wife's new luggage. Her suitcase came with a cover to help keep it clean. The cover was ripped in several locations and the whole side of her suitcase was blown out. We will have to purchase new luggage."
Cons: "We lost the conection because pre departure there swas an issue with one of the wings of the plane and took about 30 min. Afterwards after landing the plan had to wait another 15 minutes waiting for the gate. American Airlines atributed the issue to weather conditions in Vancouver, false."
Pros: "The crew seemed nice"
Cons: "It is not the airline, I just had screaming kids beside me and behind me for 5 hours"
Pros: "This was Japan airline and the crew were very respectful and responsive and food was amazing"
Cons: "The entertainment selection could have been better"
Pros: "The plane got us there safely."
Cons: "The crew was basically useless. They hung out in the back not really paying attention or just in the way. One stewardess knocked me in the head when passing through and didn't even apologize. No one greeted or told goodbye at the end."
Pros: "It started with a 2 hour delay. Then, when the plane finally got to Orlando, there was a smoke alarm going off. We had to wait another 30 minutes for that to be fixed. Then when we got on the plane there was a issue with the baggage and we sat again for another 30 minutes"
Cons: "Not one explaination, or consideration. The attendants were rude and the pilot didn't even come on during the flight to say anything but signing up for a credit card. Bullshit."
Pros: "Friendly staff made people feel safe even during turbulence."
Pros: "The most efficient boarding process I've ever experienced."
Cons: "The crew seemed to be under a lot of tension and the audio jack to my in-seat monitor didn't work. After mentioning the faulty system to the crew I had to find a new seat by myself and there was no follow up."
Pros: "Quite hospitable On time."
Cons: "The coffee was horrible."
Pros: "On time, nice plane"
Cons: "Realized I left my iPhone in pocket of my seat as soon as I exited plane - spoke to gate agent within 1 minute of leaving plane and she Asia she would get the cleaning crew to look while I waited. Waited 20 min only to hear a bunch of lies about how they asked the flight attendant to look but she couldn't find it - should have just walked back on plane to do it myself. Was told to "go online" and file a lost and found report. This is a small airport - TRI cities TN - absolutely zero customer focus by and American Airline employee - and I asked to sp all with a supervisor and manager with the hope I would get my phone back. Worst service and zero caring attitude I've dealt with - and I fly a lot. It will be Delta from here on out. I went on line and filed a complaint and lost and found report - am betting a large amount of money I hear nothing other than an automated reply."
Pros: "Flight attendants actually seemed to care about what they were doing. Seats were pretty comfy for once."
Cons: "Flight delayed with no explanation or apologies. Putting two and two together from the airport monitors it looks like they had to swap planes due to a scheduling or maintenance issue. Just another chapter in the neverending saga of delayed American airlines flights"
Pros: "All"
Cons: "Seats very narrow. Not enough legroom."
Pros: "Clean plane"
Cons: "No food"
Pros: "Easy and smooth flight."
Pros: "Seats are terrible. My back hurts after the journey. Leg room is bad too."

Cons: "It's nobody's fault but i have a Delayed flight"
Cons: "Very cold airplane"
Cons: "3 hour delay and much confusion. In and out of aircraft."
Pros: "Everything about the crew and the in-flight amenities was comfortable and well-planned. The flight attendants were friendly and responsive and the plane was clean and comfortable. I felt that there was enough legroom even in economy."
Cons: "The entertainment system lost power in my section about 30 minutes into a ten hour flight, and while some of that time was spent sleeping I wasn't even able to turn on the reading light. I know the flight attendants tried several times to restart the system and I appreciate that, but there were several dark lonely hours spent waiting for dawn."
Pros: "Flight was on time and prompt."
Cons: "Stayed on the run way for a bit"
Cons: "Cero entretaintment"
Pros: "Crew was friendly and professional."
Pros: "The boarding process was good."

Cons: "Wifi wasn't working so no entertainment"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I was supposed to dj in dallas at 12am got a flight in at 7pm but with mechanical problems flight was delayed to a 2:20am landing which I missed my job. I paid for a flight I didn't use and lost 1300.00 usd 0 out of 10 for AA"

Cons: "We were cattle attendants cowboys"

Cons: "Cancelled flight. Could not get a flight to tulsa. Moved to a delayed flight to OKC with rude gate staff and no inflight drink or food service."
Pros: "Boarding was good"
Cons: "No drinks or snacks. We were told the hour and a half flight was too short for service. Really??? First class got their drinks."
Cons: "American also cancelled thos flught"
Pros: "The new tinted windows are cool"
Pros: "There was good food and entertainment"
Cons: "I'd like better vegetarian options for food though"
Pros: "Flight was fine. Staff was fine. No complaints."
Cons: "Although the food was abundant and tasted good, it was rather heavy. Lots of starch (and chocolate!). That kind of food may be fun and satisfying, but it's not really the best thing for middle-aged adults who are sitting on an airplane for 10 hours! If you can work in more fruits and veggies or light desserts, that would be great! Regarding entertainment: We could not connect to the entertainment system, so we watched a DVD that we brought along with us."
Pros: "Service before boarding was excellent. Checking in as long as the boarding time was efficient and fast. In flight service was okay, flight crew was helpful and friendly. The selection of entertainment was excellent. Good international films, in addition to the monocles 24 hours radio station. However, the food was mediocre, there was not enough food for a flight of 11 hours."
Cons: "I didn't like the amount and selection of food."
Pros: "Nice plane, solid food."
Cons: "Waaaay too hot."
Cons: "While booking the tickets I was told that my luggage will be checked in till my final destination but I had to collect them at Narita airport. I had to cancel my plans of sight seeing at Tokyo downtown due to this."
Pros: "The flight crew were great and very accommodating."
Cons: "A majority of the passengers on flight either barely caught, or missed, their connecting flight due to this flight being so delayed."
Cons: "I booked my flight from Vancouver to Kiev The first flight it's to Toronto then to Kiev.. and when Went to the counter in Kiev they said sorry but Turkish airline didn't send my booking to kanda airline so I missed all my flight schedule I didn't wait I bought another ticket to Kiev in the same date on Lufthansa airline And it cost me like 1945c$"
Pros: "Entertainment, crew, boarding"
Cons: "Food"
Pros: "nice screen, but need to bring your own earplugs or pay to get a pair. toilet was clean, seat was quite comfortable for economy class"
Cons: "the reading light from next seat passenger was disturbing me a lot, spotting on my head & arm and it was really warm.. no room to store bag below front seat"
Pros: "In flight Game of Thrones!!"
Cons: "The lines at YVR were horrendous."
Pros: "the accommodation of the carry on in the compartments, it is absolutely disturbing and dangerous; specially and such of huge plane like the one I flew. Passengers should have the right to have a least 1 registered for free luggage to avoid such of chaos, possible injuries and delays. i feel horrible for the flight attendants for such of task of carrying and moving so many luggages."
Cons: "The fact that traveling International for so many hours, I was treated like I was flying Domestic. No, food, no drinks. In the past airlines complained about cost of fuel, gas, but now is cheaper and we PASSANGERS never have any consideration flying. Another fact is the seatis are too small, I had to share my seat with two overweight women and they occupied part of my space, I was so uncomfortable, I requested for another seating and was not possible due to the fullness of the plain. I standed up many time not rubber and feel the heat of that person on my left side. overweight people should be suggested to buy double seating."
Pros: "Same plane as the one I flew on the way to Toronto. It's a really nice plane."
Pros: "the crew was super nice. very friendly and caring. the entertainment was perfect. boarding was easy and timely."
Cons: "the seats offer little to no lumbar support. this was midigated a little with the pillow and blanket, it didnt really do much. for someone who has lower back issues, this was a big problem, a reason i am dreading my flight home. on top of that, it was my first time flying internationally, so i had no clue i had to hunt down my flight via flight time board."
Pros: "At $320usd per person per direction, you can't beat the price thanks to whatever magical gremlins Kayaks employs to fix prices for them...we flew Air Canada and we'e very pleased with their fleets new addition of 787 dream liners. Do yourself a favor and find a flight on this aircraft. From takeoff to landing, there was never a question about our safety and comfort, and the sleek, organic aesthetic of the dream liner somehow met a new standard for both ergonomy and tech/entertainment. I especially found the sub ports in my personal screen useful."
Cons: "Transatlantic flights are too long. Hurry up Science, magic me up some low earth orbit/sonic+ future jets already...Jaesus..."
Cons: "Missed the flight"
Cons: "Wasn't offered a drink or food for 2 hours into the flight. Then when they reached me, all the options were sold out. I had crackers and hummus for lunch. I am pregnant and travelling alone with a toddler and was told by a flight attendant they were suppose to help me lift my bag. Nothing major, but left an unpleasant experience compared to Westjet."
Pros: "Always seems to happen with some leg of an Air Canada flight....and they couldn't find my luggage, so delayed my boarding at Customs, too."
Cons: "Baggage misplaced"
Pros: "Flight crew was great. Aircraft was great."
Cons: "Food could have been a little better."
Pros: "Leg room adequite."
Cons: "Only beverages served, there wasn't the usual snack."
Cons: "I almost missed my connecting flight due to AC delaying departure in Vancouver. I received no solid information from the stewardess on the flight on whether the connecting plane in Toronto would wait. I mean, really. There was never any explanation as to why the Vancouver flight was late either."
Pros: "I liked that the flight was not completely full. we had a hard touchdown"
Cons: "1. These days, I have come to expect a complimentary in-flight entertainment system on international flights. This flight had nothing whatsoever. This is ok, but the customer should be warned when making the flight reservation so they can choose whether to bring an ipad along. 2. Food and service were not as good as a recent Air Canada return trip from Roma to Vancouver which had a first rate crew, food, and complimentary beer. 3. The plane was much older than the recent return trip I had and the air was much more dry."
Pros: "Fairly quick! Staff were really nice and helpful."
Cons: "Flight was delayed one hour. Very uncomfortable seating arrangements for a long-distance flight."
Pros: "The flight attendants, especially Theresa, were fantastic. Theresa was very attentive, fun, and made each passenger feel special. The flight crew Supervisor greeted us each by name and leads a spectacular crew. The seat, amenities, entertainment, and food were just amazing."
Cons: "Business class did not have it's own boarding call."
Pros: "New interior felt clean and the new entertainment system felt responsive with a large amount of movies and shows to view"
Cons: "seats were very hard with reduced legroom after you recline. Lavatories were far and few. Food was mediocre with 3 meals, I had to ask for extras."
Cons: "Movies and audio lacked currency, simply old and little variety."
Pros: "I upgraded to premium economy which made a big difference. Lots of leg room, a menu, pre flight drinks."
Cons: "Airline lost my luggage."
Cons: "Pretty terrible for an international airline, charge for drinks, earbuds, no inflight entertainment without pre downloading their crappy app, which was full of ancient, terrible movies. Lots of stuff broken on plane, reading light would turn on/off randomly. Very annoying. Charger did not work, had to use the row next to us"
Pros: "Friendly crew very helpful. Not as loud as the last flight."
Cons: "So many people crammed into a small space. Needed more leg room and shoulder room."
Pros: "Very good individual entertainer system in seat backs of new boeing dream liner."
Cons: "Called in advance re special veg meal but they didn't have it at mealtime."
Pros: "I always like to fly Air Canada for long international flights. Everyone has their own TV, where you can choose what movie/TV show you want to watch, or what game you want to play. You can also pause, fast forward, and rewind at any point, which is not always possible on other airlines. The food was also very tasty. We were served two full meals and a sandwich. The alcohol was free, which was lovely too. The staff were nice and there was plenty of leg room. Overall, it was a great flight."
Pros: "I liked that the head rests bent so I could rest my head on something"
Cons: "There is not a lot of legroom back in the economy section - I'm 5'7" and I kept hitting my knees on the back of the seat in front of me, so if I was any taller that would have been very uncomfortable."
Pros: "Dreamliner was airy and pleasant. Large screens. Electric outlets"
Cons: "Need more E books and audio podcasts."
Cons: "Pushed call button twice as I could not get entertainment system in business class to work, never came"
Pros: "Great flight crew, fairly comfortable seats. Made a 10-hour flight pretty bearable."
Pros: "At least there was food tho only banana bread for breakfast"
Cons: "No movies or entertainment for overnight flight"
Cons: "The plane was up and down twice when it landfall."
Cons: "Bread dry and no choice . Fresh fruit would be refreshing"
Pros: "The crew was all wonderful, friendly and efficient."
Pros: "See above"
Cons: "See above"
Cons: "We waited nearly two hours AFTER WE BOARDED THE PLANE for a flat tire to be changed, or so we were told. In typical airline fashion, we were told several times that the delay would probably take about 15 minutes, turning into nearly 2 hours. In combination with the change I described above and the 9.5 hour flight to Tokyo, we were completely done in for 2-3 days after we got to Tokyo."
Pros: "As a 6'5" guy, I was worried about spending ten hours on a plane. Air Canada made the flight enjoyable with comfortable seats (even in the economy class) and high quality flight attendants."
Pros: "The crew was extremely helpful on both flights. This made the whole experience very pleasant."
Pros: "The crew was polite and helpful, good entertainment choices."
Cons: "We are retired adults and seated with at least a dozen young children around us, it was so loud. The two year old next to me kicked me off and on the whole flight."
Cons: "The flight attendants are extremely rude. Even when the passengers were sweet to them. In general horrible horrible horrible customer service. For that reason I don't think I'd fly on air canada again."
Pros: "Friendly staff - clean, newer plane."
Cons: "Sound/video system kept rebooting in both of our seats and volume would randomly increase/decrease. Arm rest controls easily bumped (does not seem to be the reason video system was problematic)."
Pros: "Everything went smoothly from beginning to end."
Cons: "It was a packed flight and it felt like I couldn't breath on the flight at times. I was stuck between two very big people."
Pros: "The crew members were fabulous."
Cons: "My luggage did not arrive when I did. I did not see my personal belongings for three days. When the second leg of my journey was cancelled, I was book on a flight with a short connection. Therefore, my luggage remained in Canada while I went on to Japan."
Pros: "Exit seat. Leg room"
Cons: "Breakfast too small. Plane leaked on me during take off and landing. 3 hour delay on plane before take off. Stewardesses ignored people looking for water."

Pros: "On time flights"
Cons: "All ok"
Cons: "Slow with drinks and food, late departure"
Cons: "The WiFi for the personal entertainment system wasn't working properly"
Pros: "I finally arrived."
Cons: "More communication about delay and lost luggage."
Cons: "A mechanic issue with a fan in the cargo hold kept us from boarding for 40 minutes. Once we boarded and got out onto the tarmack they discovered an issue with the GPS. We sat for 2 hours before going back to the gate. Maintenance came on and fixed it. Then we took off.. 3 hours late"
Cons: "Everything. We were incredibly delayed which happens but none of the staff knew what was happening. Different passengers were told different things and when we tried to ask questions they were far from helpful. It was not a good experience at all."
Cons: "Plane had no entertainment"
Pros: "The crew, the speed (we arrived early), the boarding."
Cons: "NA"
Cons: "a 2nd snack for a 5 hr flight would have been nice. Also never heard that they were serving lunch meals to buy, heard the breakfast one!"
Cons: "Faster boarding"
Cons: "Saw many backpacks inefficiently stored overhead, yet I was told to check in my carry on even though I had paid to upgrade my seat. Staff extremely unhelpful and clueless."

Cons: "The worst trip with United airlines specially from Huston to El Salvador"
Pros: "On time, pleasant crew"
Pros: "It was great"
Cons: "All good"

Pros: "Take off and landing very good"
Cons: "0% leg room :("
Pros: "We upgraded to business so it was great. Crew was especially attentive."
Cons: "Couldn't recharge the iPhone. No plug."
Cons: "I bought first/business class ticket for my wife & myself. The sitting was comparable to premium coach level, my overhead bin was occupied by someone else. Food service was acceptable. I am medium built, the lavatory was very tight I felt sorry for larger than my self."
Cons: "Unassigned seating from the beginning of the trip made the trip arduous."
Pros: "The flight was nice and the crew was very helpful"
Cons: "The landing was a bit rough"
Cons: "Late flight and can't catch next flight on time:("

Cons: "Very late"
Pros: "Staff was great, and the few delays that occurred were fairly minimal and it was clear that the staff/pilot did their best to keep things timely"

Pros: "Good job."
Cons: "Could not get movies to play on iPad or Mac book pro."
Cons: "Indifferent staff, absolutely no customer service Flight late, no food, no entertainment, seats extremely cramped, packed in like sardines, no personality at all, just attitude- get through it, provided basics, waited 20 min for first bag to appear in luggage carousel too, nothing good about it! It would be revolutionary if one airline valued their guests and showed it! Instead of cattle they manage and transport"
Pros: "They at least had the option for live TV on one of the flights, but wanted $8, when Southwest gives it to you free."
Cons: "The gate agent also just seemed and unpleasant in general. The leg room is the worst in the industry, it's absolutely terrible"
Cons: "-Jolene at the United check in at the Vancouver airport loves to discriminate -No WiFi on a 5+ hour flight -Old clunky planes -Poor service overall -Noticed employees using their phones constantly instead of helping paying Customers"
Cons: "Unfortunately the first leg of our flight was delayed over an hour. Although we made our connecting flight (barely), our luggage didn't make it onto the plane. It was OK since it was our return flight and we received our luggage later the next day."
Pros: "At least the seats had power outlets."
Cons: "Crew appeared to hate their jobs, only peanuts and water for a 2.5hr flight. Plane was good but united sucks."
Cons: "I don't like delays..."
Cons: "I don't understand why you don't load from the back of the plane first, it just makes more sense."
Cons: "Flight was delayed but this was due to weather conditions."
Cons: "Awful service,"
Pros: "It really was great. On time, crew was helpful and friendly"
Cons: "I arrived at YVR to check in for my flight at 4 pm. I was told they couldn't find me In the system anywhere and when they finally did find me they told me they had booked my seat onto another flight that didn't leave u til 6 pm and I would arrive home in San Diego at 10:40 pm. They refused to check my luggage because they said I had arrived too early. I wasn't too early for my originally scheduled flight! I now had to sit in the airport for 5 hours. I had to call home, arrange a sitter for my children whom I was suppose to see at 8:55 pm. They said there was nothing they could do about it."
Pros: "It had been years since we last flew UNITED. Honestly, we were a bit apprehensive after learning of friends' negative experiences but we moved forward with our plan. The flight was smooth, and ahead of schedule and the crew was totally on top of their game. SPOT ON!"
Cons: "If I would make ANY suggestion, it would be to load people from the back of the plane to expedite loading. Your current 'zone' approach results in lots of waiting for passengers lo sitting in the back....as the front passenger's mess around, trying to get themselves situated...CLUELESS that there are a hundred others WAITING in the aisle, as they tussle with their sweaters, purses, tech equipment, etc. (if you get my gist!). Just something to consider....."
Cons: "there was no in-flight entertainment."
Pros: "The flight attendants were really courteous and friendly."
Cons: "There was not anything that I did not like"
Pros: "Headphone slot. Free wifi"
Cons: "Tight seats in coach..expected"

Cons: "Cramped seats, poor entertainment choices, basic uncomfortable seating."
Pros: "It ending"
Cons: "I don't even know where to begin. Horrible flight with two obnoxious dunk clowns that kept this red eye flight awake. Because they were loud and obnoxious they got all the service on the flight. The way they acted, very inappropriately to another passenger, and sneaking booze from their carry on-Wished there was an air marshal on the flight. Won't be flying United again."
Pros: "The plane was clean, left on time and arrived early. Expecting that there were too many carry on bags, they offered to check some bags at the gate for no additional cost."
Cons: "The snacks were a waste of time. The charge for the entertainment system is based on the published flying time but since those are overstated to improve on time performance, the entertainment charge was excessive."
Pros: "I like boarding, crew and the comfort ."
Pros: "Great crew and smooth flight overall"
Cons: "Seats seem to be getting smaller"
Pros: "He's a great pilot."
Cons: "That flight was so very scary.My name is Addison ( Parinaz ) Barati."

This piece is technically a 1 square meter sized mixture of texture, rope, and paint, but under that is a story about lines, limitations, layers we peel of each day when we try to get to know more of us. The white-lined parts are the ones still left to uncover all the things we don't already live are hidden below. Not sure if even a lifetime is enough to reveal it completely since each person is a whole Universe by itself and that is equal to infinity.
New spots that appear between the lines are the ones who flourish, vibrate and start to shine our true colors that have many shades we didn't even know before. It would be too bad to not explore this place because it's something unique and beautiful. Sometimes it gets scary to explore the unknown, but if you imagine it as this painting, you really can not do it.


"The key is to begin to think past Fidel and Raúl. The dialogue has been stuck on that, and we need to think strategically in terms of what comes next," he said.
Under Gomez's scenario, Castro, who succeeded his ailing brother Fidel in early 2008, would focus on "trying to institutionalize the revolution" before he dies or retires.


As you know by now, I'm Jeremy Burgess, the Unit 3 Supervisor. I will be returning for my 13th summer at Camp Yomi, and my 2nd summer as the Unit 3 Supervisor. During the school year, I am a 3rd grade teacher.
I love working at Camp Yomi and enjoy coming back each and every summer. Something I'm super excited for this summer is the overnight. I've been a part of many overnights in the past and they are always tons of fun. It's like one huge sleepover with all of your friends! In the beginning of every summer, I watch the campers and counselors meet at camp not knowing each other quite well, and then, they leave the summer having made a best friend or a memory that lasts forever.
This summer Unit 3's theme will be the greatest city in the world, New York. We have fun activities planned, so get ready!!
You contact me by phone at 212-415-5643 ext. 2 or email at yomi3@92y.org.
I'm looking forward to an incredible summer together!
