This Is the State With the Worst Gun Laws
03/10/2022 Economy
The trend in gun sales changed last year, compared to most other years in the past decade. Gun sales, using the NICS Firearms Background Check as a proxy, reached 38,876,673 in 2021. That was down from 2020. However, guns sales in most years since 2010 have risen year over year.
Gun control is challenging, not just because so many guns are sold each year. There are probably 400 million guns already in the hands of civilians, police and the military.
Gun regulations are mostly done at the state level. Some are very strict. However, in a number of states, people can carry guns in the open. National laws have been impossible to pass because many people believe ownership is based on the Constitution.
The 27 words of the Second Amendment have been one of the most, if not the most, scrutinized sections of the U.S. Constitution in modern American history. The gun-rights debate usually centers around two phrases in the amendment: "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" and "a well regulated Militia."
Opponents of gun control laws argue the first phrase guarantees the absolute right of individuals to own firearms. Supporters of strict gun control measures, on the other hand, believe that the amendment simply guarantees a state's right to self-defense (to have a "well regulated Militia") but does not prohibit states from regulating private firearm ownership.
To determine the state with the worst gun laws, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 2020 Annual Gun Law Scorecard from the Giffords Law Center (led by former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, herself a gun violence victim), which ranks states on the strength of gun laws and policy and assigns a letter grade. Giffords Law Center attorneys assign point values based on strength and weaknesses of state laws and policies and compare these values to gun death rates released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The term "generally," in the information for some states, means in the majority of cases, with some exceptions.
Despite the feelings of the public, the strict partisan divide over the issue means that many states have very loose gun-ownership rules. Those with stronger restrictions in place can do little to stem the flow of firearms from less-regulated states. One bill currently before the House Judiciary Committee, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, would even force states with stricter gun laws to accept concealed carry permits issued in states with less stringent laws.
The state with the worst gun laws is Mississippi. Its gun law grade in 2020 is F. The gun death rate of 24.23 per 100,000 people was the second highest.
Mississippi does not require a permit for openly carrying guns in public, but it prohibits gun owners from exhibiting the weapon aggressively in the presence of three or more people. Violators may be fined $500 and up to three months in jail. In 2016, the state scrapped rules requiring individuals to obtain a permit to carry loaded, hidden handguns in a certain type of holster in public, with a few exceptions.

The Royal College of Music put on a cracking opera double-bill of Berkeley's A Dinner Engagement and Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti. The stories of British toffs' post-war 'poverty' and unhappy 50's American suburbia somehow worked well together and they were both staged and performed brilliantly.
It was good to catch Britten's rarely produced children's opera, Noye's Fludde, in a co-production between ENO and Stratford East, involving two schools, young musicians from two local boroughs, a community choir and students of the Royal College of Music. It was a very charming and heart-warming experience.
Cilea's L'arlesiana is one of Opera Holland Park's best rediscoveries. It's a 'small' opera for such a big space, but the surprisingly lush and romantic score was beautifully sung and played. Lovely.
My first opera in the Arcola Theatre's Grimeborn season was one I'm not really keen on – Die Fledermaus – but a friend wanted to go and it turned out to be a hoot. It was shortened to 50 minutes, updated to the present day and played and sung brilliantly by Baseless Fabric Theatre.
I could hardly believe my ears at our second visit to Grimeborn for Wagner's Das Rheingold; the 100 minute adaptation by Graham Vick & John Dove, The singing was astonishingly good, the orchestra brilliant and the simple staging highly effective. I never thought you could pull off Wagner with these resources in a small space, but it was more thrilling than any production I've seen in an opera house.
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's The Planets at the Royal Albert Hall was an afterthought brought on by some friends coming to London to see it. It was accompanied by extraordinary NASA footage on a big screen. It peaked in the first movement when the power of Mars was accompanied by NASA's best images. As we went into less well known movements and more distant planets, it was less thrilling, but still worth a visit. The first half included superb renditions of Also Sprach Zarathustra and John Williams' Star Wars suite. Populist stuff, but high quality populist stuff.
I've seen the London Welsh Chorale a few times, but their concert of rarely performed and new pieces by Welsh composers was on another level altogether, both in scale – orchestra, children's choir, three soloists, organ and narrator – and quality. They sounded gorgeous in St. Giles Cripplegate.
My first Prom this year was a Sunday morning one with the National Youth Orchestra of the USA under Antonio Pappano and the incomparable mezzo Joyce DiDonato in a programme that included Berlioz' Les nuits d'ete song cycle, which sounded heavenly, and Strauss' Alpine Symphony, which was thrilling. It opened with the European premiere of an excellent short work by a 19-year-old orchestra member! Joyce, of course, forever stylish, colour-coded her frock with the orchestra's bold red and black outfits. When they encored with Elgar I felt I was in an internationalist haven far away from the nationalism of everyday life these days. These young people were clearly from a diverse range of backgrounds playing music by French, German, British and American composers. A wave of emotion overcame me as the music was saying more about a special relationship than any politician ever could, and the warmth of their reception at the Royal Albert Hall was uplifting.
Back at the Royal Albert Hall for my one and only evening Prom this year, for Handel's oratorio Jephtha, which was very well played and sung by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra & Chorus under Richard Egarr, with a fine set of soloists. The cuts were a bit controversial, but they didn't bother me and it was a bit of a novelty to be at a concert which came in at 30 minutes less than the published time.
At Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, contemporary dance piece 10,000 Gestures delivered what it said, not that I was counting, as the dancers were, out loud, some of the time. The pace was mostly frenetic, Mozart's Requiem was background rather than choreographed and it got a bit edgy when the 21 dancers moved into the audience, some members of which moved onto the playing area. Boris Charmatz' work was strangely compelling and somewhat exhausting.
Birmingham Royal Ballet's Hobson's Choice may be thirty years old, but it's as fresh as they come, and a comic delight. Ballet can often be very earnest, and this is the antidote. An excellent score, period set & costumes and sprightly choreography with terrific characterisations come together to make a lovely full evening show at Sadler's Wells.
I've seen and enjoyed everything Matthew Bourne has done, but what was special about Romeo & Juliet at Sadler's Wells was his use of young dancers and artistic associates. It was inspired, mesmerising, exhilarating, thrilling……and exhausting! The musical adaptation, the design and the choreography all combined to produce something so fresh and exciting, but also very moving, and the performances were uniformly stunning. I can't wait to see it again.
I liked Late Night, a film with more depth than it seemed at first, and I was hugely impressed by Emma Thomson, an actress I don't always take to, for the second time in less than twelve months.
I like Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis films, Rom Coms and British feel-good movies. Add the soundtrack of my teens and I was in heaven seeing Yesterday.
Blinded by the Light is Gurinder Chadha's best film since Bend It Like Beckham 17 years ago, another heart-warming and hopeful British Asian story, this time based on a real one.
I'm not a Quentin Tarantino fan because of his glorification of violence but I was led to believe Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was different. Well, it was for the first 2h20m and I loved the late 60s retro aesthetic and accompanying soundtrack, though it was a bit slow, sometimes dull and overlong, but then he grossed out for the last 20m and I had to look away.

Handel's Radamisto at GSMD had some lovely singing and playing, I liked the design and also the idea of framing it with an audience of leaders in conflict as a nod to its premiere before a royal squabble, but it was played too much for laughs, particularly the comic book King.
A summer visit to WNO at the WMC in Cardiff for Strauss R's Der Rosenkavalier and Strauss J's Die Fledermaus proved a treat. I love the former and it was the best production of it I've seen, with the orchestra under its new MD sounding great and a full house of terrific performances. I'm not really an operetta man, but it was hard to resist the fun of the latter, again well played and sung, with the cameo non-singing role of the gaoler brilliantly played by Welsh actor, Stella's Steve Spiers.
There was some lovely singing in Charlie Parker's Yardbird at Hackney Empire, but the subject didn't really suit the opera form. Though it's a story full of tragedy and emotion, the opera had none; I think a jazz musical would have served it better. Good to see work like this, a visit by Philadelphia Opera, on at Hackney though.
Smiles of a Summer Night was an evening of Sondheim songs from eight soloists, a twelve strong chorus and full orchestra at Cadogan Hall and the musical standards were sky high. It wouldn't have been my selection of songs, but that might be a good thing as there are rarely heard items as well as well worn ones. Alex Parker, the musical director, has given us a superb concert version of A Little Night Music and a terrific production of compilation show Putting it Together, and this is yet another fine achievement.
Into the Unknown: A Journey Through Science Fiction at the Barbican Centre is a very broad selection of paintings & drawings, story-boards, props & models, games, films, books, comics & magazines in three locations and the foyers. It has even taken over the Pit Theatre for three months with a giant installation. Fascinating, but too dense for just one visit.
I loved Chris Ofili's new tapestry at the National Gallery, placed onto B&W walls decorated by him, in an exhibition called Weaving Magic that included preparatory sketches and drawings. Lovely.
I'm used to bright, colourful, uplifting paintings from Per Kirkby, so the exhibition of older 80's dull and dark work at the Michael Werner Gallery was a big disappointment, I'm afraid. Shame.
Fahrelnissa Zeid was another artist unknown to me, and her retrospective at Tate Modern showed both her art and her life were fascinating, going from portraits to two different forms of abstraction and back to portraits, with a side-trip to sculpture along the way, and from Turkey & Iraq to Germany, France & Britain and finally Jordan. Intriguing.

In Laura Muvla's late night Prom she performed the whole of her one and only album, Sing to the Moon, with an orchestra and choir. Some of the arrangements were a bit overcooked, smothering the lovely songs a bit, but overall it was a success as the writing and singing shone through. The sound was great and the audience even more quiet and attentive than most classical Proms. Now we need a new album, Laura.
Anything Goes at Cadogan Hall was anything but another one of those song compilation shows. First it was Cole Porter and the 50th anniversary of his passing. Second, it was musical theatre royalty with Maria Friedman, Clive Rowe, Jenna Russell & Graham Bickley all at the top of their game, with obvious chemistry, mutual respect and friendship. It was great to see the Royal Academy of Music MTC Chorus given a chance to work with such musical theatre icons and with a band as good as the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra under Richard Balcome. You rarely hear musical theatre songs played this well, and the winds and brass were positively glorious.
A return to Opera Holland Park after a few years to see an early 20th century relative rarity by Francesco Cilea, Adriana Lecouvreur. My enjoyment of the first half was badly hampered by a full-on view of the conductor and not a lot else – a relatively expensive restricted view front row seat that wasn't sold as restricted view! The highlight of the evening was the fantastic orchestra under said conductor, Manlio Benzi. There was some good (rather than great) singing and the updated production just about pulled it off. Sadly, OHP seems to be turning into a London version of those country house operas – rising prices, conspicuous corporate hospitality, dressing up…..if they introduce long picnic intervals, the transformation will be complete!
I don't often go to piano recitals, then when I do I ask myself why?! A visit to Oxfordshire included one by John Lill at Christ Church Cathedral and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In a great programme of Mozart, Schumann, Brahms and Beethoven, the Schumann and Beethoven shone and the venue was a real bonus.
My first proper Prom of 2014 was an all-English affair, with three works from Vaughan Williams and a real rarity from someone I've never heard of – William Alwyn. Alwyn's 1st Symphony isn't brilliant, but it's good enough and not worthy of such neglect (like the rest of his work). By contrast, The Lark Ascending is by all accounts the most popular classical work and here it was beautifully played by Janine Jansen. The gung-ho Wasps Overture and rarer Job ballet suite made up an excellent programme conducted by the BBC SO's new chief conductor Sakari Oramo, whose enthusiasm and joy were infectious.
The next Prom was named Lest We Forget and it was a melancholy but very beautiful affair, featuring four composers, one German, who fought in the First World War, three never coming back. Two were completely new to me (the German, Rudi Stephan, was getting his Proms debut and Australian Brit Frederick Kelly is rarely performed). George Butterworth's song cycle A Shropshire Lad was sung beautifully by Roderick Williams and the BBC Scottish SO under Andrew Manze played all four pieces wonderfully. Vaughan Williams Pastoral Symphony (with tenor Allan Clayton, instead of the more usual soprano) has never sounded better. The loss of three talented composers was very sad, but it was a lovely tribute.
My final Prom for 2014 saw Andrew Davies back where he belongs and he chose a terrific programme of Strauss (R), Elgar & Berlioz to show off his great new band, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, who got a great welcome from the Proms audience. Music by German British & French composers spanning 89 years, an Australian orchestra & a Norwegian cellist & a British conductor and an audience of real music lovers – that's what I like about the Proms.
Celia Imrie's show Laughing Matters at St James Studio was a quirky and sometimes surreal affair. Songs accompanied by a pianist and drummer (I wish I knew who wrote them), monologues and anecdotes and two male assistants! It ended with a panto-style sing-along complete with song sheet, with the cast dressed as sailors and the audience in sailor hats emblazoned with 'R.M.S. Celia'! She can't really sing, the show had a certain amateurishness about it, but her charm won you over and made you smile – a lot.
I was lured to The Inbetweeners 2 by rave reviews (4* in The Times!) and even though it was fun, it was like watching a triple episode of the TV series with big screen technicolour projectile vomiting. A peculiarly British take on gross-out teen comedy.
Positive reviews also lured me to Guardians of the Galaxy (another 4* in The Times), but it was no time at all before I was bored with the banal story and just watched the 3D effects, but they became relentlessly repetitive too. There were some nice tongue-in-cheek touches, but I'm now wondering why I stayed.
I refused to pay Sonia Freidman's obscene prices for Skylight in the West End but I eventually succumbed to the 'encore' of the live cinema transmission. Carey Mulligan proves to be an exceptional stage actor and Bill Nighy has lost none of his charisma. The 19-year-old play seemed bang up-to-date and the interval interview with Hare was a bonus. I'd have loved to see Bob Crowley's brilliant set live, but hey it came over as a great production and I thoroughly enjoyed my first NT Live experience, even though it wasn't the NT and it wasn't live!
I think I'm going to have to stop going to the Saatchi Gallery as, yet again, only a small fraction of what was on show appealed. This time it was Abstract America Today upstairs and Pangaea: New Art from Africa & Latin America downstairs. When the best room has walls covered with giant insects, you know you're in trouble.
I'm not a fan of fashion and if I'd had to pay I probably wouldn't have gone, but The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier at the Barbican was great fun and extremely well curated with a nice tongue-in-cheek touch (some of the dummies had holographic talking heads!). Whatever you think of his clothes, you have to accept that he has a colossal imagination.
No less than three exhibitions for an afternoon at the Royal Academy. The Summer Exhibition never changes but it's an important institution and it's always worth a visit. The highlights this year were the model of Thomas Hetherwick's garden bridge (I can't wait to see it built) and a couple of hilarious Glenn Baxter cartoons. Upstairs, Radical Geometry is an exhibition of 20th Century South American art which you'd never know was South American if it wasn't billed as such. It's well executed but they are very derivative abstract, geometric works. Interesting, but…..Round the back, Dennis Hopper: The Lost Album is a very personal record of six years in the sixties which would never be seen if the photographer wasn't a famous film actor / director. Interesting, but…..
In just six years the Travel Photography Awards exhibition at the Royal Geographic Society has become so popular that my usual amble through it has become a scrum, partly because I left it until the final day I suspect. It was hard to get close enough to what seemed like a less impressive collection this year. Down the road at the V &A Disobedient Objects is an original, fascinating and wide-ranging look at items associated with protest, including banners, posters and even vehicles. Well done, V&A!
The British Library Comics Unmasked exhibition was a frustrating affair – low lighting combined with small print labels, but above all lots of nerds stooped over the exhibits reading every word of every cartoon and monopolising them. Again I was probably hampered by catching it on its last day, but it could have been curated so much better. The Enduring War exhibition, part of the WWI commemorations, was a lovely unexpected bonus which I enjoyed more!
The Photographers Gallery continues to be an essential regular visit and this time it was a fascinating exhibition tracing colour in Russian photography over 120 years. It proved to be a social and political history as well as a photographic history. At the entrance, they currently have a video wall which shows how a couple of Germans mined Facebook for images then put them on a spoof dating site with categorisations based on the images. It includes the victims comments, TV coverage and the legal threats they received. Clever, fascinating but spooky! I shall brush over the other exhibition – still life photos (and installations including them) of decaying fruit from Ridley Road market!
The first few rooms of the Malecvich exhibition at Tate Modern are spectacular – bright, colourful, original paintings of people and landscapes with a geometric spin. Then he goes all dull and abstract before returning to his earlier style. Frankly, it would be a better exhibition if it was 'The early and late works of…' and reduced from 12 rooms to 6!
There was some great stuff to see around town this month; two WWI tributes – the moving sea of poppies at the Tower of London, spectra – the lights illuminating the sky from Victoria Embankment Gardens – and this year's Serpentine Pavilion, like a spaceship which has landed. Up in Gateshead, Daniel Buren created glorious colourful spaces in Baltic by covering the windows and skylights with coloured panels and placing large mirrors on the gallery floor. A real regional treat.

Local man reacts to the loss of his friend, President George H.W. Bush
As America honors the late President George H.W. Bush, people in the Coastal Bend are also reflecting on his life.
President Bush and Melvyn Klein met as board members at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, a cause close to the President's heart after losing his daughter to leukemia when she was only three years old.
"I was honored and privileged to get to know someone who I believe was one of the outstanding people of our time, as well as a really good friend and an exceptional person," Klein said.
Klein spent multiple summers vacationing at President Bush's home in Maine.
"He was supposed to be my tennis partner, and he sprained his ankle that morning so he wasn't able to play. But he arranged a substitute for my doubles partner and he and Barbara Bush watched the match and had some select comments afterward," Klein said.
He wrote frequent columns for the local newspaper, and once stumped by writer's block, his good friend and the President of the United States gave him some handwritten inspiration.
"The subject was all related to the importance of values and character, and friendship and family and how that was preeminent in his own value system," Klein said.
That memoir from the President still hangs in Klein's hallway today.
"There aren't going to be many President Bush 41's around. People of real accomplishment, ability and humanity and humility," Klein said.


I never wear hats but this time I tried to style my look with a hat and actually I really liked it! It added something special into this look. I will reconsider my point of view regarding hats 🙂 and will search for more pretty hats for autumn. What do you think about this look?

Q: How to detect fullscreen mode of AVPlayerViewController How can I detect when the user press the expand icon of the AVPlayerViewController?
I want to know when the movie playing is entering the fullscreen mode.

A: It is also possible to observe bounds of playerViewController.contentOverlayView and compare that to [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds, e.g.:
self.playerViewController = [AVPlayerViewController new];
// do this after adding player VC as a child VC or in completion block of -presentViewController:animated:completion:
[self.playerViewController.contentOverlayView addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"bounds" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld context:NULL];

...

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary<NSString *, id> *)change context:(void *)context {
    if (object == self.playerViewController.contentOverlayView) {
        if ([keyPath isEqualToString:@"bounds"]) {
            CGRect oldBounds = [change[NSKeyValueChangeOldKey] CGRectValue], newBounds = [change[NSKeyValueChangeNewKey] CGRectValue];
            BOOL wasFullscreen = CGRectEqualToRect(oldBounds, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds), isFullscreen = CGRectEqualToRect(newBounds, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds);
            if (isFullscreen && !wasFullscreen) {
                if (CGRectEqualToRect(oldBounds, CGRectMake(0, 0, newBounds.size.height, newBounds.size.width))) {
                    NSLog(@"rotated fullscreen");
                }
                else {
                    NSLog(@"entered fullscreen");
                }
            }
            else if (!isFullscreen && wasFullscreen) {
                NSLog(@"exited fullscreen");
            }
        }
    }
}

A: You can use KVO to observe the videoBounds property of your AVPlayerViewController instance.
Edit
The most basic example being
[_myPlayerViewController addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"videoBounds" options:0 context:nil];

A: In swift, both for audio and video:
Add this observer in a initialization function such as viewDidLoad, or didMoveToSuperview:
//Observe if player changed bounds and maybe went to fullscreen
playerController.contentOverlayView!.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: "bounds", options: NSKeyValueObservingOptions.New, context: nil)

and this function on the class:
override func observeValueForKeyPath(keyPath: String?, ofObject object: AnyObject?, change: [String : AnyObject]?, context: UnsafeMutablePointer<Void>) {

    if keyPath == "bounds"        {
        let rect = change!["new"] as! NSValue

        if let playerRect: CGRect = rect.CGRectValue() as CGRect {
            if playerRect.size == UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size {
                print("Player in full screen")
                isVideoInFullScreen = true
            } else {
                print("Player not in full screen")
            }
        }
    }
}

A: Swift 2.2
Create and use subclass of AVPlayerViewController.
class YouVideoPlayer: AVPlayerViewController {

    override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
        super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
        if view.bounds == contentOverlayView?.bounds {
            //code
        }
    }

A: self.frameChecker = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(checkContetnOverlay) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

    -(void)checkContetnOverlay{

        BOOL currentPlayerIsFullscreen = (self.avVideoPlayer.contentOverlayView.frame.size.width>1000 || self.avVideoPlayer.contentOverlayView.frame.size.height>1000);
    //works with these values only for iPad

        if (((PlayerViewController*)self.parentViewController).playerIsInfullScreen != currentPlayerIsFullscreen) {
            if (currentPlayerIsFullscreen) {
                NSLog(@"CUSTOM PLAYER (av) : changed to fullscreen");

                 self.avVideoPlayer.showsPlaybackControls = YES;
            }else{
                NSLog(@"CUSTOM PLAYER (av) : changed to minimised");

                self.avVideoPlayer.showsPlaybackControls = YES;
            }
        }
    }

The total amount of actual foreign investment in East China's Jiangsu Province reached 13.18 billion US dollars, an increase of 29.2 per cent in 2005 compared with that of the same period the previous year, ranking the top across the nation. The accumulated direct foreign investment broke the record of 100 billion US dollars to reach 103 billion US dollars, according to the latest statistics released by the Jiangsu Statistics Bureau.
Jiangsu has surpassed Guangdong Province in attracting foreign investment for three consecutive years since 2003. The use of foreign investment in Jiangsu is expanding in an all-round way. The actual foreign investment in 13 cities directly under the provincial government keeps growing. However, the investment in the five cities, including Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and Nanjing, reached 9.87 billion US dollars, which accounted for 74.9 percent of the total actual foreign investment in the province.

National Hamburger Day and beyond: The Best Places to Get Burgers in Rexburg
More and more restaurants come to Rexburg all the time. These new arrivals offer a wide variety of foods, many of which we hadn't seen in town before.
But today is National Hamburger Day. So we're here to talk about all the delicious places to eat a burger in Rexburg.
We decided to divide the burgers into two camps: fast food, and sit-down. Each has its place. Sometimes, you need to grab something on the run. Other times, you can afford to sit down in front of a menu and pace yourself.
Above all, our goal on this day of days is to present you with all the burger-munching possibilities in Rexburg.
*To keep things simple, this article refers to beef patties only, excluding chicken, turkey, or fish burgers. Please forgive us.
Fast Food Burgers
We strive to be all-inclusive with our lists. Therefore, we feel a duty to include fast food burgers here. Don't get us wrong, we love a good Big Mac just as much as the next guy. But for the heavy-hitting local favorites, proceed to scroll or swipe down.
As the highest-grossing fast food chain in the nation, McDonald's is sure to leave its footprint in Rexburg. And it does at two locations, at the corner of Yellowstone Highway and University Boulevard and on 2nd East. But everybody knows this.
No one goes to one fast food chain over another on the basis of nutrition. But with Burger King burgers as a whole delivering less sodium and calories, perhaps this has some allure with you. The taste is similar, and the convenience comparable. With multiple options, BK lets you have it your way.
New to the burger game in Rexburg, Sonic also offers multiple variations to its burger selection. Singles and doubles, bacon and no bacon, regular and junior, they do it all. Wash it down with a frozen limeade and you're in business.
Wendy's
Tried one, tried them all? Arguably, yes. But Wendy's does shake things up a little bit. There are many places to get bacon on your burger, but only one Baconator. The menu also includes Dave's Single, Double, and Triple variations. Wendy's beef is also never frozen, so there's that!
Yet another fast food burger offering is Jack in the Box. From their Jumbo Jack to Outlaw Burger, they mix up your classic burgers with some exclusive recipes. If it's got Jack in its name, you can't get it anywhere else.
Freddy's
The arrival of Freddy's is still fresh on our minds, hearts, and palate. They are famous for their steakburgers, which not only sets them apart from the pack but makes them uniquely delicious.
The Blister's Burger from Blister's BBQ.
Restaurant Burgers
This is the meat of the article. The best burgers in town won't come from a fast food joint but from one of Rexburg's many homegrown establishments.
A short drive out of Rexburg in the community of Archer, Big Jud's is a legend. It began in Boise and made its way over to our neck of the woods, and we are eternally grateful. Its burgers mean business, as evidenced by the classic Big Jud challenge: a 1 OR 2 lb. burger with fries (or tots) and a drink.
The menu features other mouth-watering burgers as well, including the Bleu Bacon Burger, Hot Buff Burger, and more.
Blister's BBQ
Our very own local Carolina-style barbecue joint also offers delicious burgers. They keep it simple there. The Blister's Burger comes with all your normal fixings, and you can add additional meats and toppings for a small extra price. If you already are sure you like their pulled pork, brisket, and other offerings, give the Blister's Burger a try!
T-Rex Burgers
T-Rex Burgers is one of the latest arrivals in both food trucks and burgers. Having opened in April, they recently just sold their 2000th burger! And for good reason…they bring a delicious new dynamic to the burger game! Just tell them how you like it, and they'll fix you right up.
Da Pineapple Grill
Although you may know them primarily for their sushi and Hawaiian entrees, Da Pineapple Grill makes, in the author's opinion, some of the finest burgers in town. In keeping with the Hawaiian grill, they serve up a delicious Teriyaki Burger as well as Da Tiki Burger. The latter is a seductive concoction that is absolutely worth a taste. Break from your tradition of sushi, and try out a burger!
The Hickory
We would be remiss not to include this local hotspot on our list. When it comes to all things barbecue, The Hickory has got it .Their burgers run the gamut of all burgers you would hope to find on a menu. But they also have their own unique offerings. The Honey Badger Burger, the Brisky Business, and the Big Belly Buster are just a few of these. Caution: the Big Belly Buster is aptly-named.
Redd's Grill
Redd's Grill is considered by many locals and students alike to offer up some of the best burgers in town. You'll find them at the Teton Lakes Golf Course, but a day on the greens isn't required to feast here. Whether it's the Nostalgia Burger, the Rebel Burger, or anything in between, Redd's is a true Rexburg gem.
National Hamburger Day
'Nuff said. If you have the means and appetite, review this list carefully and make your lunch or dinner plans. Do it for America. It is National Hamburger Day.

Can't Wait to See This Movie
July 25, 2016 By janersays in Grab Bag	Leave a comment
The other day my mom told me about a movie she thought I would love – "Don't Think Twice." It's about an improv group, who are also best friends in their 30s, and what happens when one of them has commercial success.
The movie explores what it means to be in your 30s and trying to succeed as an artist.
There's a great interview with Mike Birbiglia, the filmmaker, Variety. One of the questions was particularly relevant to being in your 30s.
Were you interested in depicting how your life changes from your twenties to your thirties? That's a big shift, and it's not one that's often depicted on film.
Definitely. There's no way I would have written this in my twenties. I feel like in my twenties, I was chasing this dream of having a sitcom. At a certain point, I realized it wasn't even my dream. It was everybody else's dream except for me. I had a sitcom pilot at CBS like eight years ago and when it didn't get picked up to air, I was left with all this free time. I put my head down and worked on these three one-person shows Off-Broadway and I directed these two feature films, and I feel so lucky that happened. At the time I was crushed. I felt like it was the biggest failure of my life and in retrospect I think it's the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.
There's a cultural idea of success in America. Usually people view it as exposure or visibility. You know, being known. In my thirties, I came to realize that success is connecting with people. Helping people. And contributing in some way. It can be for millions of people in TV or in movies, or it could be for twenty people in an improv theater in Minneapolis.

Air India to add LA, Houston in its list of US destinations
WASHINGTON: Air India plans to expand its base in the US by adding Los Angeles and Houston into its roster, a day after launching the state-carrier's first direct flight from Delhi to Washington DC.
"We are looking at connecting two more cities — Los Angeles and either Houston or Dallas," Air India Chairman and MD Ashwani Lohani said at an event to celebrate the launch of the direct non-stop flight yesterday between the capitals of the two largest democracies of the world.
The direct flight to Los Angeles is expected to be launched by October, while the date for the flight to Houston or Dallas in Texas has not been determined yet, Lohani said.
All this is part of the expansion plans of Air India, he said.
Washington DC is Air India's fifth US destination after New York, Newark, Chicago and San Francisco.
"Last year we launched four international flights from India. This year we have seven (new) international flights. New connections, brand new connections. And this is the way we are going to do it," Lohani said, adding that Air India is looking to significantly expand its operations in the US.
The three times a week flight frequency from the US capital could soon be expanded to daily based on the passenger response, he said.
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe said there is a huge market for people travelling between India and the Greater Washington Area, which would result in full Air India flights.
"Chairman Lohani has said this was a sold out flight today. The flight returning too is a sold-out flight. So, there's a very good opportunity for us if this will go to seven days a week, if there is a continued interest," he said.
The current three days a week schedule will bring over 30,000 visitors to the capital region, he said.

Egypt says suicide bomber caused deadly bus blast
Terrorist boarded bus full of South Korean tourists and detonated, killing four, officials say; group of survivors crosses into Israel
By AFP, AP and Mitch Ginsburg	17 February 2014, 4:06 pm 0 Edit

CAIRO — A suicide bomber was behind the deadly blast that tore through a bus carrying South Korean tourists, Egyptian security officials said.
The officials said the bomber boarded the bus while it waited near the Egypt-Israel border crossing at Taba in the Sinai Peninsula. The Egyptian driver and the South Korean guide had disembarked but were close to the bus when Sunday's blast took place, according to the officials.
South Korean officials said the bombing killed three South Koreans and an Egyptian driver. The tourists were Korean Christians who had saved for years to visit Biblical sites on their church's 60th anniversary.
"The preliminary investigation shows some tourists disembarked to get their bags. A man walked to the bus. There was an explosion when he reached the third step," interior ministry spokesman Hany Abdel Latif told AFP.
The tourists were all members of the same church group from the central South Korean county of Jincheon and were on a 12-day trip through Turkey, Egypt and Israel. They were about to cross into Israel when the attack occurred.
The South Korean ambassador to Egypt, Kim Young-So, told Seoul's MBN TV station that the bus bombing appeared to be a "suicide bombing by a terrorist."
An al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, took responsibility for the bombing. On its Twitter account, the organization promised to continue to attack Egypt's economy, tourism, and military.
The group, based in the Sinai Peninsula, has deployed several suicide bombers in attacks on police, as well as in a failed attempt to assassinate interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim in September.
Fifteen survivors from the blast crossed into Israel on Monday and are staying at a hotel in the resort city of Eilat, Israel's Channel 2 news reported. Other tourists who had been on the bus carrying 33 were still hospitalized in the Sinai.
Egypt refused offers of Israeli help after the blast, transporting at least 12 injured people to hospitals in the Sinai peninsula instead of the closer Yoseftal Hospital in Eilat.
Terrorists have killed dozens of tourists in sporadic attacks over the past several decades, mostly recently in a 2009 bombing that killed a French tourist in Cairo.
Maj. (res.) Aviv Oreg, formerly the head of Al Qaeda and Global Jihad desk at the Israel Defense Force's military intelligence directorate, said the bombing was likely intended to send a message to Jerusalem and Cairo.
For jihadist organizations in the Sinai Peninsula, this sort of attack is "very sufficient in order to pinpoint that Israel is their target in their aspirations," he told The Times of Israel.
Police under now deposed president Hosni Mubarak had all but stamped out Islamist militancy after a spate of Sinai resort bombings between 2004 and 2006.
But the three-year period of lawlessness and unrest after Mubarak's overthrow in 2011 has allowed the militants to regroup in the restive Sinai peninsula and to branch out to the Nile Delta.
"A continuation in attacks on tourists would mean a shift in strategy by jihadist groups that until now targeted the military and police," said Issandr El Amrani of the International Crisis Group.
"But that cannot be judged after one attack," he added.
The head of Egypt's Chamber of Tourism said the attack could have been aimed at hitting the tourism industry, one of Egypt's top revenue generators.
"The attack aimed at harming tourism in general," said Elhami al-Zayat.
Sunday's bombing came as a court in Cairo began trying Morsi and 35 co-defendants on charges of espionage and collusion with militants to launch attacks in Egypt.
Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected and civilian president, was ousted after a year in power amid massive protests demanding his resignation.
The military-installed government has since accused Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood of masterminding the attacks that have also targeted police headquarters in Cairo.
The Brotherhood, now designated as a terrorist group, publicly renounced violence decades ago and denies involvement in the attacks.
The deadliest attacks have been claimed by the Sinai-based Ansar Beit al-Maqdis group, whose leadership is drawn from militant Bedouin who want an Islamist state in the peninsula.
In recent months, ever since Morsi's ouster, cooperation between Israeli and Egyptian authorities "has been largely enhanced," Oreg said, moving from the tactical and operational level to the intelligence realm. The Shin Bet, too, has been forced, over the course of the past two years, to realign itself in order to address the growing threats from the Sinai.

Top 3 airlines serving Indonesia to Philadelphia
Qatar Airways 8.3
Turkish Airlines 7.9
Pros: "The crew was very good. Seat was comfortable."
Cons: "Running water in the bathroom."
Cons: "Seats for its along way"
Pros: "seats were awesome, so as the food and the occasional snacks were delightful"
Cons: "My entertainment screen wasn't working, but since I got a window seat I didn't complain. Long time for a 12 h flight without video or something to occupy myself, but at least the USB port was working..."
Pros: "Everything! It just awesome"
Cons: "Nothing can be better, an awesome flight"
Pros: "aircraft A350 , food choices , Doha airport , Staff attitude and willingness to help ."
Cons: "Crew members are waking up for lunch and breakfast but not for snacks and other beverages. We are feeling hungry later. we aren't knowing when they ll provide."
Pros: "The trip was very comfortable and food suited me"
Cons: "Will fly in a bit.still in Qatar airport waiting for my flight"
Pros: "The crew was attentive and polite. The flights were on time, and the entertainment options were good. The Doha airport is quite nice, with many eating and retail options. although everything is very expensive, even by airport standards."
Cons: "My wife and I personally don't mind a selection that leans heavily toward Indian food, but I imagine others will not. The main courses were mediocre and the "sandwich" offered between meals on the 13+ hour flight was cold, soggy and inedible. The seats on our A350 were hard and not very comfortable, and the recline function was difficult to operate. Security at the Doha airport was confusing. We had to go through 3 separate checkpoints for our transfer, each with different rules and procedures. The final check at our departure gate was the worst, with impatient officials giving hurried instructions in heavily-accented English, and scolding if passengers didn't understand. I was sent back through a second time to remove my camera from the bag (and to be scolded by the agent), and was patted down a second time coming back through the x-ray, which had green-lighted me both times. It made me wonder if this was a reaction to the extra scrutiny that Arab passengers receive from our airport security in the USA."
Pros: "Cabin crew service was very good. Flght with Airbus 350 plane was really comfortable and quite. They put extra care for kids and babies and all of kids get gift bag with toys, chocolate etc. which makes everyone happy Especially kids. I personally like to watch new release movies and enjoyed to pass my flight time."
Cons: "Their south indian food was testless in both inbound and outbound flight from Philadelphia to doha. Snacks was good but meal definitely they should have better to change it."
Pros: "The crew were nice and very helpful. Vegeterian meal was great"
Cons: "It was cold almost for everyone and everyone used blanket, some people asked for second blanket."
Pros: "Qatar beats every US based airline, hands down! The planes are clean and modern with better seats, leg room, technology, food and staff. Everything is included in the cost of a ticket, something that US airlines should learn! I cannot say enough about the experience and wood recommend to anyone traveling to destinations served by this airline."
Cons: "I cannot think of a single thing."
Pros: "Entertainment system good,"
Cons: "Boarding was late, seating very cramped."
Cons: "Small chairs"
Cons: "Snacks and drinks could be betteri"
Cons: "On my flight from PHL to KHI, both legs had perfect head/necks that were adjustable. But on the flight from DOH to PHL, the neck rest was awful - it only adjusted vertically (unlike the other flights), and it was too thick so that my neck was in an extremely uncomfortable position for 14 hours - not fun!"
Pros: "On business class, so service was extraordinary"
Cons: "The seat from Jakarta to Doha, especially the head/neck holder was uncomfortoble. Too big and stiff and wasn't on the right possition even though it is adjustable. One of the crew didn't say anything, not even smile after she opened the curtain between bussiness and economy class at row J K L. She just walked away."
Cons: "Poor service, long layovers with not enough lounge space. Misguiding customer service"
Pros: "Service, seats, beds, food, entertainment, EVERYTHING !!!"

Cons: "We had booked the flight together and they ended up putting us in different rows and couldn't fix that. We travelled 14 hours apart :("
Cons: "The flight attendant dropped a suitcase on my head when I was sleeping. I had terrible headache, nauseous, and dizzy with some really uncomfortable neck pain. The staff tried to get me to take medicines that I could not read for nauseous but I would not. They said they were prescribed by a doctor! What doctor. The flight was the longest worst ever! 14 hours - nothing to eat or drink! In addition, the head flight attendant said the baggage compartment over my head was a problem as it opens all the way down and bags fall easily out. The bag was easily 30 pounds and landed directly on my head. I suffered a concussion."
Cons: "Luggage checking is very poor, the person on checking ask me to remove my shawal, i said to him it is insult to me , i never forget it , never plan to travel on Qatar airways"
Pros: "I like everything about the flight"
Cons: "Flight was very long"
Pros: "I truly love this Airlines. The crew is always friendly. The food is always above par for airplane food"
Pros: "Completely satisfied. Excellent all the way!"
Cons: "Everything was perfect. Thank You."

Pros: "Business class was wonderful liked pjs, food, seating. Etc"
Cons: "Crew left a small amount of champagn in a glass which fell on me when I was asleep. Crew only offered first meal after that did not offer food only when I requested it. Limited gluten/ dairy free options"
Pros: "Same"
Cons: "I understand it's the industry standard, but seats are too narrow with shared armrests."
Pros: "The crew was friendly"
Cons: "The security process to board the plane had no order. Stood in line while people after me was able to board the plane. When it was my turn, I was randomly selected for additional security screening."
Pros: "-Great selection of movies, Ted talks, and games to view on individual screens, headphones were provided. - Blankets and pillows were provided to everyone, along with a kit with toothbrush, toothpaste, socks, and eye mask. - Adjustable head rest. - Nice to have wifi, although only 15 minutes is free."
Cons: "- Tiny, cramped seats and aisles. I'd heard the Quatar has more leg room than other airlines. This is definitely not true. If the person in front of me reclined all the way, they crushed my knees and I'm only 5'7". - Seat cushions are thin and hard. - baggage check in took a very long time; about 45-60"
Pros: "The crew was excellent in their mannerisms, efficiency, service and never ending smiles."
Cons: "The flight was not overly crowded and many of the passengers were seated with three people per set of seats while others were seated individually and able to spread out with much more comfort. I felt that when the flight crew saw this they could have made everyone much more comfortable by switching people to two people per row thus giving them more room especially on such a long flight."
Pros: "food was decent and the staff on the plane were pleasant."
Cons: "Qatar airlines blatantly lied to me on several occasions and treated me like I was dirt. They lost my baggage and re assigned my seat several times each time pushing me further back into the plane and eventually putting me into a crowded row when the plane was virtually empty."
Pros: "Great flight - and definitely the best airline food we've had in a while"
Pros: "Flight was not crowded, room to stretch out. Food and service was good."
Cons: "Difficult boarding procedure."
Cons: "Seat cushion was hard for long flight time!"
Pros: "Good spacing. comfy seats."
Cons: "Staff were just not aware of clients needs. walked passed without even glancing to see raised hands, etc"
Pros: "The crew was amazing, the entertainment system needs more content, the food could use more variety. I would definitely travel with them again."
Cons: "- The Flight was canceled to fly directly from DOH to PHL.... Our party was put on a transfer at ORD...added additional 8 hours of layover... flight itself wasn't terrible... but the bathroom situation could be hectic..."
Pros: "Again, the flight attendants were so sweet and nice and hospitable."
Cons: "The sitting quarters were so cramped. Maybe next time I'll save an additional $500 to go up a class but it was so smashed. It did not leave room for me to use the desk to eat or use my laptop."
Pros: "Shared a row with three seats with another person, middle seat was free! New entertaiment screens."
Cons: "Food was average to less."
Pros: "Flights out of and to Philadelphia cuts out the whole traveling to and from NY or DC. This is a big plus for me since I live in Delaware."
Pros: "Kept my Insulated tea mug filled with hot water."
Cons: "Plane left 1 hr late. Crew tried to make me check my carry on because it was a "full" flight and even though my medication was in it and I did not have a lock. Baggage handling bent my pull up handle - it no longer works - suit ace was brand new."
Pros: "Pleasant and professional crew on a new and well kept plane. The food and entertainment options were both varied and enjoyable. Big plus was the care package on a transoceanic flight. It only cost them pennies but it was nice to have a mini toothbrush and toothpaste on a 14 hour trip."
Pros: "When my main, very large over-weight suitcase was not able to be accepted, the Qatar Airways check-in representative was very clear and helpful, in explaining what to do (purchase inexpensive box + tape, re-pack some items from the suitcase-->create two pieces of baggage at correct weight)."
Pros: "Their new fleet of A350 is modern, luxury, then top off with best crew services, this is one of the most comfortable flights I've ever had. Our flight was almost 14 hours, and it didn't feel too bad given the choices of movie and entertainment. The air crew were extra careful and caring about their passengers. They were also polite and very professional."
Cons: "Since the flight was long, the lavatory became a bit dirty, full and messy by the end of the flight. Food was ok, although I think they had better menu from PHL to DOH. They ran out of sausage and omelette choice towards the end seatings."
Pros: "Worst customer service ever no one ever answer the call also no one ever answer call from vayama DO NOT BUY FROM VAYAMA"
Cons: "Honestly never buy a ticket from a vayama or kayak worst companies to buy ticket from I wanted to extended my ticket and they were charging me $1200 for extending my ticket from Lahore to New York ... instead I just missed my flight and got new ticket for $500"
Cons: "New Istambul airport requires walking 20-25 minutes when arriving and the same amount when departing. Even if huge you need to take a bus a walk under the rain. Bad planning"
Cons: "The transfer from international flights to domestic is difficult. I came to Guangzhou with a joint flight of Turkish airlines and China southern but there was no one at the airport when we landed to inform us how to transfer our luggage to the domestic flights and how to check in. Considering I don't know Chinese, this was tough."
Pros: "Flight was on time."
Cons: "Cooler temperatures in the cabin Vegetarian meal options More individual water bottles for passengers Flight attendants answering call light promptly"
Pros: "Staff friendly."
Cons: "Seats too tight. Very little leg space."
Pros: "Great entertainment, good seat comfort (even in economy seat), good food and friendly service."
Pros: "Largely pain free experience"
Pros: "leaving and arrival on time."
Cons: "No leg space in economy."
Cons: "They made us wait for 2 hours out in the open on a winter night. They wouldn't let us in the terminal. It was outrageous. Everyone was extremely rude."
Cons: "I think the food is so little, and also there is no snak for passangers ."
Pros: "Walking past the Turkish Airlines desk in Dulles and knowing I would NEVER have to interact with these monsters again."
Cons: "I am an experienced traveler. I've been to 17 countries and have flown over a million miles in both business and coach. My wife encountered a problem in Istanbul that involved an airport transit visa through Canada. I am certain that any other airline we've ever flown would've assisted us, since it was easily resolved. To Turkish Airlines, this is simply a part of their business model and a chance to make more money. It took about 8 hours of our time at 5 different airport locations to eventually buy new tickets to get back the next day. Our original tickets say: "REISSUE With 200.00 USD penalty. What I didn't see was the fine print at the bottom: "Turkish Airlines reserves the right to change rules regarding ticket changes and refunds.". They mean it. As bad as our personal experience was, the real reason we are so appalled is that we were there long enough to see this is the norm for them. In our single day there, we saw at least 100 other travelers going through similar things. The ONLY solution ever offered is to purchase another ticket. We witnessed several people weeping. Many losing control and shouting. Their own personnel were screaming at customers (in a separate office area though, it was all yucks and laughing). These were people of all nationalities. Africans, Asians, Europeans. We were lucky because we had the means to purchase new tickets. Others clearly didn't. I really don't know what happened to some of them. One moment was very symbolic of the entire experience. Another vanquished traveler was paying $843 for a new ticket with cash. He handed her $845 but she, of course, had no change. Instead of the $5, he gave her two $1 bills. I had one in my pocket so gave it to her as well. She held my $1 bill up and pointed to the corner which had a very small piece torn off…no ink was missing…and sneered "I can't accept this. She did this simply because she could. We were powerless. She knew it and reveled in it."
Pros: "The food was SUPER DELICIOUS! The seats were comfortable, the movie selection is great, and the staff's care and commitment to customer happiness is unmatched!"
Pros: "great pilots, professional staff."
Cons: "we were given the same pasta for all our meals, the food used to be soo good on turkish air! now they changed to having to pre- order online which we didnt know so got stuck with the pasta!"

Pros: "the food was very good & unexpected on these short flights"
Cons: "they let people take extra overhead space"
Cons: "It never happened."
Pros: "I got a special meal -- Asian Vegetarian -- and it was delicious. I have also had the regular Vegetarian on other Turkish Air flights and they have been great too. So congratulations on good food! I just have one suggestion about the food: Just because someone is vegetarian, it doesn't mean that they don't want dessert! I notice that where others have chocolate pudding, for example, I get fruit. I like fruit... but a piece of cake or some other sweet is good too!"
Cons: "The pull-down food trays are often angled down so that the food slips into your lap. I often have to hold the cup or glass so it doesn't slip off."
Cons: "The plane was old and the seat was very uncomfortable"
Pros: "Good"

Pros: "Every thing, the etertainment on the over the Atlantic is exceptional great with many good and new movies. The flight map is very informative. The food very good and the free offer of drinks and sandwiches is great service."

Pros: "It was a fine flight"
Cons: "Just in Istanbul the we got screened completely again at the termanal then at LAX CBP thought it would be good to hold us at the tarmac for almost an hour while they hunted and detained a kid"
Pros: "Everything was great. I didn't give food 5 stars though, because compared to my previous experience, quality is less than usual. I always fly on Turkish airlines and I like it overall. Security at Istanbul airport is great. Better than anywhere else."
Cons: "Quality of food is less than the previous experience"
Pros: "I enjoyed the food service, the hot towel, and the amenity kit.Turkish Airlines is the best out of all airlines I've flown."

Pros: "Good overall"
Cons: "The flight attendants were not paying close enough attention they walked fast through the aisles and walked in to my head as I slept and ran into my feet with the food service cart I didn't hear I'm sorry or anything they just kept going"
Cons: "They switched the gate without telling anyone"
Pros: "Very pleased with the entertainment on board, the crews was very helpful and efficent"

Pros: "Same as above."
Pros: "My suitcase was delayed, but I'd like to notice and appreciate efforts taken by Turkish airlines rep. at MIA to get it found and delivered in a timely manner. She also followed up asking if everything is fine with it. Thank you, guys!"
Cons: "Rude young lady security officer in Istanbul airport, who forced me to start my laptop working like it's forbidden item to carry on. She talked with intonation like I did something wrong and she is thereto discover it. I believe better workplace for her would be to supervise some prisoners, not welcoming guests at international airports. All other officers (including other security control ones) were looking overwhelmed by work flow, but still polite and friendly."
Pros: "Breakfast"
Cons: "Old-style video screen and console"
Pros: "Comfortable enough for a long flight, but not worth the price we paid."
Cons: "Price of ticket was too high even for economy class travel and flight was VERY late to leave and VERY late to arrive."
Pros: "The seats were roomy (!!), the foot rest was really nice, the entertainment was impressive. The whole experience was great. They gave us slippers and socks and a pouch with eye cover, ear plugs etc. really top notch."
Cons: "The food wasn't as good as I expected but still better than most airlines. I don't have high expectations for food on planes, I had just heard great things about Turkish airlines food so thought maybe this would be great."
Pros: "see above"
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "They tried hard to load passengers so the aisle wasn't blocked. Good job"
Cons: "Because limited space, must sit up to eat. They REALLY need to improve trash retrieval so people can sit back & relax. This service was really bad & people had trash for an hour all around us so it was uncomfortable. Too warm too. No blankets used. 13 hrs on a plane is still long if you're sitting."
Cons: "Terrible experience with Turkish airlines , I had a sick father who use oxygen machine and they make him to miss his plane to New York and make him wait for 6 hours for the next plane with no oxygen tube"
Pros: "The employees were kind and helpful to the weary travelers. They served with a smile."
Pros: "The food tasted good and I wasn't expecting a meal on a 2.5 hour flight."
Cons: "Temperature in the plane was about 40 degrees Celsius with no explanation. We needed better air flow and more water. Staff was a little bit cranky. There were no headphone adapters for the in-seat headphone jacks, only poor-quality, ill-fitting headphone sets. Boarding was chaotic and took way too long, delaying our departure."
Pros: "Smooth flight"
Cons: "No entertainment on a 5 hr flight. I know a lot of people bring devices but a set of headphones and some music would be nice"
Pros: "Online boarding passes a great idea"
Cons: "Don't like to pay extra to reserve seats. Seating is overcrowded - poor leg room."
Pros: "The food and drink were abundant and served at a decent pace. The boarding seemed quick and I was able to get to my seat quickly."
Cons: "I had a 2 hour layover to switch from my BA flight to my American Airlines flight in Heathrow, but since I, and every other AA passenger had to wait in line to reprint my boarding pass to an AA boarding pass after we had taken the bus to the terminal, I waited about 45 minutes in that line. Then we had to go through security again. By the time I made it to my gate the flight said it was "closing." We took off about 15 minutes after that. The "hot box" snack had goat cheese and I'm not a fan."
Cons: "Crew, food, and entertainment were terrible. If I pay for british airways, I should get it. American airlines is trash, and all of the airlines in the US, should take notes from every other airline. Air travel In the US has become the bus station of the 21st century. I shouldn't be paying this much to bad business just because there isn't an alternative."
Pros: "Pasta was good."
Cons: "The touch screen did NOT work most of the time.Not able to watch GPS or select movie..."
Pros: "Crew was fine and meal service was decent"
Cons: "Stood on the jetway for 30 minutes due to some issue with boarding. Aircraft was tiny, not enough bathrooms for such a long flight. Dirty bathrooms and long lines."
Pros: "Arrived early"
Cons: "Couldn't get movies to play"
Cons: "Comfort was compromised because we had to sit in chairs against back bulkhead and chairs did not properly recline. Headphonesfor movies were not offered. Even though I tried to reserve aseat 24 hours ahead of time, the computer system was impossible to navigate."
Cons: "Flights out of RDU to Philly were late. AA will not let you get on another flight going to the same destination if your checked luggage has been committed to particular flight beforehand. You have to fly with your luggage."
Cons: "Flight was cancelled"
Cons: "3.5 hours late out of Columbus, minimal if any communication by gate agents, 45 minutes wait for gate in PHL, 15 minutes at gate to get jet bridge to plane."
Pros: "Liked all the little amenities - actual meals, USB plugs for charging, free movies and games to entertain my kids, enough leg room that I can bend down and get stuff from my bag under the seat and that I could lean back a little without causing the person behind me to need knee surgery, tilt feature on screens to make video viewing easier when the person ahead of you tips their seat back. Seats were wide enough that I didn't fear jabbing my neighbor in the ribs every time I moved. Ice Cream!"
Pros: "I like it was fast and smooth"
Cons: "Not too much space in the plane"
Cons: "Unable to sleep on the redeye from Seattle to Philly owing to a loud, constant alarm for the entire flight."
Pros: "Awesome service"
Pros: "Other passengers were friendly?"
Cons: "I was traveling alone with my tired, cranky 13 month old. I get that it's no fun for anyone, including me, to have a tired toddler on the flight! But from the moment we boarded the flight attendant was unfriendly and unhelpful. I asked for help putting a heavy bag in the overhead compartment. She half-heartedly tried and then told me it "didn't fit". By simply turning it on its side, I was able to easily make it fit, but it was uncomfortable for me to have to do so while also holding my baby! The flight attendant then commented that I couldn't have the child in a carrier during the flight (something I am well aware of!). She also neglected to offer us a snack later on. Overall, she was rude and inconsiderate and made a difficult trip more unpleasant."
Pros: "Stsff was outstanding...love the compllimentary wine....like the old days.when service mattered most."
Cons: "Airline wait lines at terminals"
Cons: "Boarding-we boarded class 9 and had a carry on that was to big so all 3 personnel yelled at me and my husband with my daughter in my arms very loud and disrespectfully " YOU CAN NOT BRING THESE TYPE OF BAGS ON THE PLANE!" Mind you 3 people are saying this while other people were also waiting to board the plane! So I quickly say we do not need 3 people to tell us 1 thing and especially yelling at us like we were kids or criminals because it felt like we must have broke the law the way they treated us! That experience was horrible and ruined my liking for AA"
Cons: "Staff was rude and accoutable for delayed flight and lightning striking plane while we were in the air"
Pros: "The crew was friendly and helpful. Upgrade from cloth seats was nice."
Cons: "The food wasn't terribly tasty or filling. Also, it was freezing - with a blanket, sweater and scarf on."
Pros: "Manchter to Philadelphia ok Philadelphia to sanfranscisco no good"
Cons: "I want to know we allready pay ticket why they charge eighty two doller more they no give us food nothing please give my money back next time I never bought ticket"
Pros: "Flight attendant"
Cons: "Delays Was told my ticket had been canceled"
Cons: "Aa blows"
Pros: "The meals were pretty decent and I loved that I was given chocolates during the flight."
Pros: "Everything was awful about the flight."
Cons: "The crew members were extremely rude, especially, Michelle and Micheal they should not be on long flights with such awful attitudes. None of the tv's, usb charging Ports worked. AA was the worst airline to fly overseas. Very disappointed."
Cons: "The airline was changed and I was not aware until I arrived to the airport."
Pros: "The crew were pleasant and friendly. They tried the best that they could given the circumstances."
Cons: "My flights were delayed so I missed my connection. I had to fly a red-eye from San Fran to Boston getting in at 6AM with meetings that started at 10AM...had to BUY a day-pass at the Admirals Club (I feel this could have been provided as it was mechanical issues that caused the delays). THEN my trip from Boston home were delayed so they switched me to another flight and then THAT one was delayed twice so I actually got home later than if I had taken the original flight! Overall the flights really sucked!!"
Pros: "Crew was apologetic."
Cons: "PHL ground stop no known reason. Good weather. Even pilot was at a loss. 4 hours total delay, 3 of which spent in tarmac."
Pros: "Our 'lullaby flight' was not completely full, so that made things nice, but what really made our day after being tired from traveling and finally getting on this flight was the steward. I don't know his name, but he's most likely one of American Airline's most senior stewards. His grey hair did not stop him from being one of the most positive and funny people to lighten up a flight. Thank you!"
Pros: "Airport expansion"
Cons: "Due to construction traffic is a problem but still manageable"
Pros: "Crew was service oriented and friendly and food was good"
Cons: "Uncomfortable seating; ran out of water on an 8 hour flight, and no individualized entertainment"
Pros: "have been forced to check in my carry-on bag and waiting to pic it up at the baggage area, resulted that I missed my train"
Cons: "boarding, smooth flight, e-pass option"
Pros: "Good seats after being moved. Flight attendants were great."
Cons: "4.5 hours late leaving. Returning flight 1.5 late on return flight."
Pros: "Crew very helpful. Screen broken, crew attempted to fix. When unable to fix, moved seat. Followed up and made sure I was taken care of."
Cons: "Entertainment screen broken."
Pros: "I flew coach for the first time in a year, and I was shocked at how poor the service was. Additionally, the aircraft was not maintained: broken sinks in the bathroom / most of the video entertainment was broken in Premium Economy Class. I had to cross the Atlantic for 9 hours with no movies to distract me. I'm shocked that the business class crew still treat coach passengers with disrespect as if they are second class citizens."
Pros: "Flight crew was peofessional"
Cons: "First flight was delayed. Delay not related to weather. American refused to provide hotel. the provided hotel and meal voucher for a fellow traveler on same flight who missed his connection. I was told he was accommodated because he is priority. When asked how I become priority I was told "he spends more money and flies more often." To me that means as a customer I am not a priority to American Airlines."
Pros: "Free drinks!!!"
Cons: "No leg room"
Pros: "Food was fine."
Cons: "Plane was old and didn't include personal screens in the seats, for an 8+ hour flight it should be mandatory. Everything about the plane felt old and slightly dirty, and while flying across the Atlantic, it's slightly nerve wracking to still see cigarette disposals in the bathroom and on the seats (reminding you just how old the plane is)! The boarding process was a bit crazed, we were put on buses in no particular priority order and dropped off at the plane to all board at the same time!"
Pros: "inflight entertainment was good; food was so-so"
Cons: "Our flight was 'delayed' and as a result had to be put on another connecting flight. Many people on the same flight missed their connecting flights because of it. Because of all the re-booking they had to do, we nearly missed our flight as well. AA is also horrible at boarding."
Cons: "I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BOARD MY FLIGHT BECAUSE I WAS ONL,Y 19 MINUTES EARLY RATHER THAN 20 MINUTES EARLY FOR CHECK-IN. SOUTHWEST WOULD NEVER BLOCK A PAYING PASSENGER BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CHECK IN 20 MINUTES EARLY. I PAID $600 FOR THAT FLIGHT AND WATCHED IT SIT ON THE RUNWAY WHILE I WAS BLOCKED FROM BOARDING. IT WAS 20 FEET AWAY FROM ME IN THIS TINY AIRPORT. MY CO-WORKER WAS ABLE TO GET ON, BUT I WAS A COUPLE OF STEPS BEHIND BECAUSE OF RETURNING THE RENTIAL CAR."
Pros: "Employees were friendly and helpful"
Cons: "I think every CEO of a company should be forced to eat their food. It was horrible. A fresh sandwich would be so much better (with add your own may/mustard) The air freshener from the bathroom was so strong that I was nauseous the whole flight. We were at least 8-10 rows away from the restroom. It sprayed about every 20 minutes. My tv screen didn't work. Made it a long flight. No one else around me had that problem"
Pros: "I have traveled first class with other US airline, and in comparison, American First Class in this trip was just ok. Is like they work right on the below line on Customer Service for First Class passengers."
Cons: "No entertainment, food selection very limited."
Pros: "There was a lot of extra room on the flight so it was comfortable. The meals were tasty. I was glad they gave us a few snacks in addition to the main meal and the dinner snack with the tart and the sponge taper very good."
Cons: "The monitors were very difficult to use. I had to press them multiple times to change the screen"
Pros: "Helpful attitude of crew"
Cons: "would have liked to be able to power up digital devices."
Pros: "Flight was straightforward and crew were pleasant."
Cons: "The boarding process was not so good. It was a busy flight and they needed to put luggage underneath asking for volunteer, then after a certain point it was mandatory. I completely appreciate the need for it to happen, but it turned into caos. People everywhere stood waiting. My suggestion would be to have people who need to check baggage stand off to the side and continue boarding those who are ready to go."
Cons: "The touch screens were horrible and no Wi-Fi"
Pros: "Crew was very attentive"
Cons: "The television was in the aisle and couldn't be properly seen. Also there was no outlet charger."
Pros: "On time departure"
Cons: "Please use the A330 for the return trip..."

MotoGP Argentina Recap - Mattia Pasini Wins in Moto2!
From MotoGP Argentina to National Championships in Spain and Italy, Spark Exhaust Technologies racers enjoy an exciting weekend full of victories and podiums.
This past weekend, the 2nd round of the 2018 MotoGP series was hosted in the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit in the northern province of Santiago del Estero in Argentina.
Great emotions for Spark at the Grand Prix of Argentina where Mattia Pasini (Team Italtrans) qualifies 4th in a semi-dry qualifying session but jumps out into first place after only two laps of the race. "Paso" leads an incredible race where he fights with his distinctive passion and determination and dominates throughout the race, up to the checkered flag. It's a well-deserved victory that earns him top of the box.
Great news as well for Pasini's team-mate, Andrea Locatelli who recovers from a 26th position start and reaches the points with a 15th finish placement.
The South African rider and NTS RW Racing GP Team, Steven Odendaal gets a good 14th place during qualifying but the difficult weather conditions slow him down during the race for an 18th place finish.
A 25th place for his team-mate, the American rider Joe Roberts who's the protagonist of a good Top 10 during qualifying.
Also Team Forward Racing, Stefano Manzi starts well and manages to reach a good 9th position. However, a mistake by an opponent forces the young rider of VR46 Riders Academy to go off-track and then cut the finish line in 21st position. His team-mate Eric Granado does not find the right feeling with the bike and finishes 29th.
A 26th position for the Malaysian Zulfahmi Khairuddin of the SIC Racing Team dealing with the wet track for the first time with his Kalex.
In other racing news, CIV - Italian Speed Championship: The long-awaited first Round of the Italian Championship starts on Misano Circuit. Spark is on the podium in all categories: National Trophy 600, National Trophy 1000, SS300, SS600 and SBK.
National Trophy 1000: the debut of the Ducati V4 is eagerly awaited in the Open category. However, the first and second step of the podium are for the BMW S1000RR choosing Spark exhaust. First place for Federico D'Annunzio (FDA Racing) and second place for Salvadori Luca (Berclaz Racing), excellent race also for Remo Castellarin (AS Cast 16 Corse) almost reaching the podium with 4th position. National Trophy 600: Success for Stefano Casalotti who conquers Pole, fast lap and 1st place at the first round in Misano. 3rd place for Germano Romano, Team Rosso & Nero.
Supersport600: Incredible victory for Kevin Manfredi in Race 1 for Team Rosso & Nero. Kevin starts from the third position but after some problems he finds himself in 18th position. He does not give up and starts a 17 positions-comeback with his Yamaha R6. He finally crosses the finish line in 1st position. Manfredi fights also in Race 2 and manages to reach the third position so that he's at the top of the general standings. Excellent 6th position for Stefano Valtulini in Race 1 (Pleo Racing team, Black Flag) on Kawasaki.
The 3rd Round of the MotoGP World Championship will be back in action at The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX on April 22, 2018.
