Delta pre-bumps passenger from nonstop flight, update
Posted by George Hobica on Tuesday, October 30, 2007
Readers of this blog may have seen the entry and subsequent comments detailing the travails of my friend Lew who found a $138 RT New York-Denver nonstop fare on Delta for peak holiday travel.
Lew had a confirmed e-ticket, roundtrip nonstops in both directions, but about two months before departure, Delta called him to inform him that they were now putting him on connecting flights, meaning that his total travel time was longer. The new outbound flight would leave JFK two hours earlier, at an inconvenient 6 AM.
Some of the comments on that previous entry insisted that he must not have had a confirmed ticket. But he did. It wasn't a reservation that he had on hold. He bought it directly from Delta.com. Another comment suggested that if he called Delta, they would rescind their decision and put him back on the nonstop. That didn't happen. He called Delta again last night, and this is what he told me they told him:
"The Delta reservationist I spoke to said that, 'Well, you were on the lowest of low fares. But coach seats on the nonstop are now sold out. However, you could buy a business class fare, seats are still available.' Needless to say, I'm not going to do that."
When I checked last week, coach seats on his flight were still available, but for over $600.
Imagine, if you will, that you renovate your kitchen, and you specify and buy granite countertops, and a few weeks before the installation the contractor tells you, "I'm substituting Formica. But you're still going to be charged the same price we agreed on." That's essentially what Delta did.
Follow up (Nov. 1)
After writing a reasonable email to Delta, and calling them again, our friend Lew was re-instated on Delta's nonstop. Lew, in his letter, avoided saying, "I'll never fly Delta again!" which would give them no incentive for helping him. So this story had a happy ending, but it took a lot of work and had Lew given up on his first attempt he'd still be crossing his fingers that he made his tight connections.

New Jet Blue Sale not stunning
Posted by George Hobica on Tuesday, October 30, 2007
JetBlue has announced yet another 4-day sale, suggesting that airline traffic must need a boost. One wonders how the spectre of $100 oil and a housing recession will affect airfare prices and airline profits.
New York to Vegas and the West Coast is now $298 RT plus tax in this sale, a slight savings from previous levels, and hardly the lowest fares we've seen on these routes, but these are nonstop fares, so that's added value.
East Coast to Florida starts at $59 each way (Newark to Ft. Lauderdale for example). Florida fares have the following restriction: requires a 7-day advance purchase. Travel must be completed by April 30, 2008. Travel to Florida is permitted Sunday through Wednesday. Travel from Florida is permitted Tuesday through Friday.
New York JFK to Aruba nonstop is good at $139 each way plus tax. This fare requires a 7-day advance purchase. Tickets must be purchased on or before November 01, 2007. Travel must take place on or after December 01, 2007. Travel must be completed by January 30, 2008. Travel to Aruba must take place Monday through Wednesday. Travel from Aruba must take place Tuesday through Thursday.
This sale ends on Nov. 1 midnight ET. And you still have until October 31 midnight ET to buy some of these fares for $30 less RT if you use your Amex card to buy them. Travel at this discount is only available, however, until Nov. 14.

Delta bait and switch: airline puts passenger on a connecting flight after he buys a nonstop
Posted by George Hobica on Thursday, October 25, 2007
When Lew Davis, an educator based in New York City, saw a $138 RT fare from New York JFK to Denver on a nonstop flight for peak Christmas travel (leaving a few days before Christmas and coming back just after New Year's Day), he naturally jumped on it.
Even better, the flight left JFK at a reasonable hour in the morning, giving him plenty of time to get to the airport.
But he was in for a surprise: a couple of weeks ago, Delta called him and told him he was now on a flight leaving JFK around 6 AM, and he'd have to make a connection both coming and going. Worse, Davis is now flying on regional jets, instead of a big jet.
Naturally, he's not pleased. There are still seats left on the Delta nonstop, but they're selling for over $600 RT for Davis' itinerary. It's pretty clear what happened here: Delta kicked Davis off of the nonstop, and will now sell seats at a much higher fare than he paid to last minute purchasers.
Why we need airline regulation
Can you imagine any other industry getting away with this garbage? Imagine if you bought a TV from Best Buy and then, 2 months later, someone calls you to explain that they're substituting a TV of much lesser value. "We'll be over in a hour to swap it out."
Or you sit down to a restaurant, waiting for your rib eye, and the waiter explains that the restaurant just ran out of steak, and another diner has offered to pay more for your meal. So you're going to get a hamburger instead. For the same price as rib eye (I'm equating connecting flights with hamburger, as you can see). This is BS. There really ought to be a law. And I mean a law, passed by Congress.
I can understand, maybe, if Delta had scrubbed nonstop flights from their JFK DEN schedule. But this is not the case.
Too many airlines are getting away with too much of this sort of thing. Another example is when they do in fact scrub a flight from their schedule, forcing travelers to buy much more expensive fares at the last minute. In these cases, airlines should honor the original fare, even if they have to find seats on another airline.
Has this sort of thing happened to you? Feel free to leave a comment.

Take a Leave in Tel Aviv
Finding a cheap seat to Tel Aviv is never easy and El Al's so-called sale fares don't do a whole lot to change that, but in honor of their current sale we're having a bit of an El Al tell-all which is really more about what the competition has to offer.
This said, if you hurry you can still catch this one-shot non-stop El Al deal on a couple of days in early December when they're handing out a handful of tickets with everything included for $920 round-trip from New York and Newark. That's about a $120 less than the going rate for non-stop flights—matched by Continental—although it's still $120 more than Iberia's connecting service.
Iberia also has some good fares from Chicago, Miami and Orlando, whereas Air France-KLM will get you out of Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles and Seattle for less. From Boston, Dallas, San Francisco and Washington you may have more choices, but your best bet is to go Swiss, while in Canada there's always, you know, Air Canada from Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. Be sure to check out the fare page for any of these cities, especially since we sometimes have multiple fares listed.
Which booking sites exclude which airlines?
Posted by George Hobica on Monday, October 22, 2007
Many consumers assume that their favorite airfare booking engine or "aggregator" includes fares on all airlines. This simply ain't so. Airfarewatchdog researchers have found that some sites exclude certain airlines, either because these airlines only sell seats on their own site, or sometimes because the airline refuses to pay the aggregator or online travel agency (OTA) a fee for listing its fares. And this can change over time. A site may list an airline temporarily in order to demonstrate the financial consequences of being delisted, but usually the banished airline won't budge anyway. (JetBlue's fares seem to come and go on Orbitz, for instance.)
Or an airline may add or remove its fares owing to a dispute over commissions. A couple of years ago, United's fares mysteriously disappeared from Travelocity for several weeks. We suspect but cannot prove that this was a commission spat. Travelocity did not offer an explanation as to why this happened. And we wouldn't be surprised to see Virgin America's fares popping up on more sites in the future as the new carrier gains traction.
As an interesting side note, Kayak has been playing a cat and mouse game with Southwest over the last few months. Their flights, but not fares, will pop up briefly and then disappear in a flash when doing a search from, say, Baltimore to Ft. Lauderdale, a route that Southwest services. You'll see an "info" icon but no prices or other information. (Southwest explicitly prohibits using their Web site to mechanically "scrape" or monitor fare or other information.)
Here's a partial list of airlines that are excluded from the fare listings of various online airfare booking sites. If you discover others, let us know.
Orbitz: Sun Country, Jet Blue, Southwest, SkyBus, Allegiant, USA3000
Travelocity: Southwest, SkyBus, Allegiant, Virgin America
Kayak: Southwest, SkyBus, Allegiant, USA3000
Expedia: Southwest, SkyBus, Allegiant, Virgin America, Spirit, USA3000
Sidestep: Southwest, SkyBus, Allegiant, Virgin America, USA3000
In addition to this list, it's important to note that many international, and some domestic, airlines reserve their best fares for their own web sites, even if they do list most of their fares with a third party site. For example, even though Spirit lists its fares with Expedia, you won't find its 1 cent, 2 cent, and $1 fares listed anywhere but on Spirit's site. Alaska Airlines lists with virtually all OTAs, but has frequent 20% off sales that you'll find only on their site. Speaking of which, you won't find this 25% off sale to the Caribbean anywhere but on American's site. Check it out. For winter travel.

By an odd coincidence, four or five noted men were each reading a discourse to the citizens of Boston or New York, on the Spirit of the Times. It so happened that the subject had the same prominence in some remarkable pamphlets and journals issued in London in the same season. To me, however, the question of the times resolved itself into a practical question of the conduct of life. How shall I live? We are incompetent to solve the times. Our geometry cannot span the huge orbits of the prevailing ideas, behold their return, and reconcile their opposition. We can only obey our own polarity. 'Tis fine for us to speculate and elect our course, if we must accept an irresistible dictation.

Arsenal In Talks To Offload Two More Flops
With the summer transfer window now open, there is plenty of gossip doing the rounds in the newspapers so we'll keep you up-to-date with the latest transfer rumours. Today, Arsenal are set to offload two more flops with Levante keen on Marouane Chamakh and Marseille in talks over Gervinho.
Chamakh off to La Liga?
First up and the Daily Mail are reporting that Spanish outfit Levante are interested in signing Arsenal flop Marouane Chamakh this summer and have offered to stump up around £1m for his services.
After joining the club from Bordeaux on a free transfer in 2010, Chamakh enjoyed an encouraging opening 4 months, scoring 10 goals before the turn of the year. However, he soon fell out-of-favour and has struggled to establish himself at the Emirates in recent seasons.
He was sent out on loan to West Ham last year but failed to make an impact and if the Mail's report is accurate, I'd bit Levante's hand off if they offered £1m for the Moroccan 'striker'. A major stumbling block could be the 29-year-old's wages, as Levante may struggle to match the reported £65,000-a-week he's currently on, but hopefully he'll take a pay-cut in order to get some football under his belt.
Marseille eye Gervinho
Next and the Express claim Marseille have opened talks over the potential signing of Gervinho with the French outfit keen on luring him back to Ligue 1 this summer.
The Ivory Coast international has struggled to make an impact at Arsenal since his move from Lille in 2011 – scoring just 11 goals in 63 appearances – and it seems we'd be prepared to take a loss on the £11m we splashed out two years ago.
The Express claim the 26-year-old has attracted interest from Turkish side Fenerbache but it seems Marseille have made the first move with the French club believed to have opened preliminary talks about the players availability.
Gerivnho has got to be one of the most frustrating players to watch. One minute he can look like a world beater, only to ruin it with a poor final ball or finish. I think it"s clear he isn't going to make it at Arsenal and a move back to France could suit all parties.
Let's hope we can get both Chamakh and Gervinho off the books shortly. Then we can concentrate on bringing in the players we need to turn us into trophy challengers again next season.

Would you be sad to see the back of Gervinho and Chamakh? Who would you like the club to sign?

8. Stanford vs 9. Arkansas
5. Boise State vs. 12. Virginia Tech
4. Oklahoma State vs. 13. Nebraska
6. Wisconsin vs. 11. Kansas State
3. Oklahoma vs. 14. South Carolina
7. Clemson vs. 10. Oregon
2. Alabama vs. 15 West Virginia
Obviously, its far to early to predict who would win these match ups and they would change drastically from now until the end of the season. However, I do think its fair that each of these teams would have an opportunity to play for a title. On top of that, I'd much rather watch these match ups than 95% of the bowl match ups we will be given.

I belong to the "old church ladies" club. Twice a year we send carepacs for the troops with home made cookies and stuff.
If you're deployed in harms way go to ANYSOLDIER. com, that's where I go to "adopt" troops to send carepacs to, they cover ALL branches and that way you can get more support!!
God Bless You! Thank You for Your Service!
List of suggested things for carepacs:The Troops in harms way all over the world have to buy their own supplies but sometimes they go for months without the opportunity to purchase the basic necessities. The guys in Afghanistan on the "Tip of the Spear" only get limited access to a truck that sometimes doesn't come over unless it's safe. After the first couple of FOB the trucks are empty and that's where we come in and send them carepacs. Please go to AnySoldier to adopt, they serve ALL BRANCHES. www.AnySoldier.com
The number one item requested by the troops is Wipes (baby wipes or equivalent) Cheap is ok, Wal-Mart has the "parents choice" are the cheapest I've found. Guys on the "Tip of the Spear" get to shower once a week, and by shower I mean a bucket of water. Wipes are a life saver for in between "showers".
Other things they need and ask for are:
Hand and feet warmers. It's COLD NOW in Afghanistan, at night it goes down in the 20's!
Hot cocoa mix
disposable razors
shaving cream
medicated foot powder
eye drops
dental floss
Beef Jerky
drink mix powder (like Gatorade, Power aid, Kool-Aid, Crystal light)
Black, OD Green, Olive Green, Camel Brown or/and White socks, TUBE socks are best because they accommodate all sizes unlike crew socks that fit 8-12 only.
boot inserts (gel, memory foam, odor eaters)
hand/body lotion
hand sanitizer
air fresheners and car air fresheners (little pine tree)
mouth wash (travel size please)
self help/marriage/parenting books
magazines on Sports, hunting, fishing, cars, racing, NASCAR, wrestling, tattoos, men's health, working out, engines, trucks, Maxim, National Geographic, Reader's Digest, guns, airplanes, flying, Video Game Cheat Codes, Please don't send People, US, Star, Enquirer nor any Hollywood trash magazines where they show trashy people getting millions for being immoral drunken junkies.
candy like Jolly Ranchers, mints, lemon drops, Jelly Bellies, life savers
peanut butter
individual packs of ketchup, TACO BELL SAUCES ALL OF THEM, hot sauces
instant coffee, packs of creamers, sugar
Granola bars, Protein bars, Cliff bars
Protein drinks like Muscle Milk, Ensure, Boost
Energy bars, Snickers
Energy drinks like Monster (any flavor/color) AMP, Full Throttle, Red Bull, 5 hour energy, Rock Star, Pit bull, KMX, Burn, Blast, HOOAH!, Lightning Bolt, Buzz, etc.

hair clippers, nail clippers
board games, card games (phase 10, UNO etc.)
Video Games (some have received Game systems from home)
DVD's (some have received portable DVD players from home)
cards, letters and drawings that express good wishes are appreciated
BIGGEST WISH ITEM: ELECTRIC BLANKETS (most troops have generators so they can use electric blankets, even the ones that don't have a microwave nor refrigerator)
This is fantastic.

Chloe at Terry's studio
I had the pleasure of meeting a gorgeous London model named Issy backstage, I loved the eclectic look she was rocking.
Flashes of gold and iridescent blue on mirrored patterned and bold kaleidoscopic prints. Colourful, patterned and bold intricate prints.
There is a special place in my heart for Sister by Sibling because they are frigging AMAZING!!! AW13 inspiration was Paula Yates the collection delivered huge loop wool scarves, sequins and spots, oversized berets and signature leopard print knits all complimented with soft mauves, dirty pinks and blue palettes. Very exciting collection as usual from the trio.
Juergen Teller exhibition ICA. The exhibition begins with Vivienne Westwood fully naked in her home which looks like a baroque palace. One of the three photographs of Vivienne she is lying on an antique sofa decorated with a floral pattern with a vibrant orange cushion which matches her red hair. The reading room had floor to ceiling iconic editorial, personal and advertising photographs. Juergen Teller changes the way we experience fashion. Teller talks of being "interested in what attracts someone to the product. Sometimes its not necessarily the product itself" No wonder Juergen Teller gains respect in both art and fashion.
Amazing collection filled with tribal prints, colour, florals, comic book prints, furs, animal prints, beaded jumpsuits and knee high floral boots. So much fun! Abstract floral design and tribal pattern twist prints. Loving the sequins statement as well. Really love this collection.

Coastal & Marine Geology Program > Pacific Coastal & Marine Science Center > Research > by Project Title
Climate change (CC) and sea-level rise (SLR) are already impacting communities along much of the US coastline. For example, along Arctic coastlines, accelerated shoreline erosion and habitat loss are resulting from thawing permafrost and protracted sea-ice are causing greater susceptibility to storm surge and wave energy. Government agencies and land-use planners are considering plans to relocate Native Alaskan villages and critical airstrips further inland away from eroding coasts. Elevated SLR rates (up to 1 cm/year) are already impacting coastal infrastructure, freshwater resources, and terrestrial and marine ecosystems in US and US Trust Territories.
Coastal inundation from storms and predicted SLR threaten continued human habitation on many US atolls in the Pacific, likely making the residents of these low-lying islands the US's first CC refugees. In California alone, roughly half a million people and over $100 billion worth of coastal property are at risk over the next century.
Along highly developed coastal corridors such as San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound, hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on coastal infrastructure renovation and ecosystem restoration, yet resource managers remain uncertain whether outcomes of these efforts will be resilient to projected SLR.
The impacts of CC and SLR around the Pacific and Arctic are highly variable and coastal communities and Federal, State, and local managers need to understand how the coast will respond both locally and regionally to forecasted changes. Thus far, however, the vast majority of national and international coastal climate change impact assessments and model development has been focused, on low-relief, relatively low-energy, passive margin settings.
Coastal managers need better scientific information and tools to plan for impending threats to their coasts from saltwater flooding and inundation, shoreline erosion, and habitat loss. Simple passive "bathtub" models of SLR that flood the existing coastal topography are far too common and cannot adequately account for expected dynamic coastal response due to regional variability in forcings (e.g., wind and circulation patterns, wave energy and run-up, vertical land movement), sedimentation, and coastal geology. Even traditional dynamic response models like the "Bruun Rule" are insufficient to describe the complex settings found on Pacific and Arctic coastlines.
10/1/2012 - 9/30/2017
Pacific and Arctic Coastlines
The primary goal of this project is to develop a rigorous, systematic research project to address the physical impacts of CC and SLR to the varied geomorphic settings along Pacific and Arctic coasts. With this over-arching aim in mind, we have the following objectives:
The goal of this project is to better understand and predict the coastal impacts from SLR and CC specific to the Pacific and Arctic regions by developing and implementing a fully integrated science program. This is will be accomplished internally through the redirection of existing personnel and resources, collaboration with other CMGP colleagues in the Woods Hole and St. Petersburg Science Centers who have expertise in this field, expanded interaction with academia (e.g., University of Hawaii, Oregon State University, University of Alaska, University of California, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, etc.) and agency colleagues and partners (e.g., US National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Department of Defense, NOAA, etc.). FY13 will be a scoping year with a series of workshops, site visits, and meetings to better define the research goals and scope of this project, as well as develop new partnerships that can aid the development of this project.
The tasks are primarily defined by geomorphic setting. Other common forcing factors that will be addressed in each task (importance may vary by geomorphic setting) are:
The following resulting impacts will also be addressed in each task (importance may vary by geomorphic setting and management need):
Lastly, particular emphasis will be placed on product development and task integration to ensure the cohesiveness of the project and highlight the common goals of each task and accomplishments of the project as a whole. Therefore, products will include:

The Washington Redskins are relevant again, and it shows. Obviously having a competent quarterback can change your fortunes. But the 'Skins have Robert Griffin III – one of the most electrifying quarterbacks in the entire league.
With the team winning it's final seven games in 2012 and claiming the NFC East and a playoff spot, RG3 has helped put Washington back on the map in pro football. And with that, Redskins' tickets have jumped 34% in price, up to $220 per ticket on average, from $164 in 2012.
The reason is simple: the Redskins play an exciting brand of football, and they're winning games. It's an exciting time, to be sure, but Washington fans also know that for the good times to keep on coming, RG3's recovery from a devastating playoff knee injury needs to have him back for the start of the season. And not just back on the field – but back to normal.
However, until RG3 is on the shelf for sure, the Redskins ticket prices will continue to rise, as Washington fans have every reason to expect their team to compete for the division crown and a playoff spot once again in 2013.
Let's dig a little deeper and analyze Washington's top-priced home games of 2013:
- (12/22) vs. Dallas Cowboys | Avg: $301 | Get-in: $63
This game is #1 on this list for several reasons. First off, this is the biggest rivalry for either team and would draw a big price even if both teams weren't serious playoff contenders. That's how deep the hatred runs. But on top of that, you have the drama from last season's division/playoff-deciding finale, as well as the shootout we were all blessed with in RG3's first-ever Cowboys matchup. It also doesn't hurt that it's the last home game of the year for Washington, as well as the second to last game of the season. Game number three between RG3 and Tony Romo isn't likely to disappoint, while the get-in price is beyond reasonable.
- (11/25) vs. San Francisco 49ers | Avg: $262 | $47
The reigning NFC champs come to take care of business in this matchup, which is so full of athleticism and talent, it's not even money. Provided RG3 is healthy and ready to rock and roll, he'll battle the equally athletic and talented Colin Kaepernick. Not only should both teams be jockeying for playoff positioning at this point in late November, but both of their explosive read-option offenses will be on fully display.
- (10/20) vs. Chicago Bears | Avg: $247 | Get-in: $45
The Bears lost Brian Urlacher and head coach Lovie Smith, but they're still a huge draw for any team. They'll be an interesting matchup for RG3 and the pistol formation, as it'll be a nice early season test to see if Mike Shanahan's offensive wizardry can keep on making spells that work. I believe it/he can, and so can RG3. With that said, this could be a classic to look back on with RG3 and the controversial Jay Cutler facing off.
Redskins Top Value Games For 2013
- (9/22) – Detroit Lions
The Lions coming to town is one of the weaker matchups for the Redskins at home in 2013. Detroit was just 4-12 last year and has been in the playoffs just once in the past decade. It's early in the year, too, which could mean no RG3, depending on how his recovery goes. Still, Detroit packs a punch offensively and could make this an interesting contest, with or without RG3 under center.
- (12/8) – Kansas City Chiefs
Washington's date with the Chiefs comes late in the year, so there should be little concern about RG3 being under center or not. This one should be on the cheaper side due to the Chiefs not being the most talented team from top to bottom, in addition to being 2-14 a year ago. They'll be better this year, but they're coming into Washington and have to be looked at as a much inferior squad. The Redskins get the nod in what should be their cheapest home game of the year.
You can talk all day, but Washington's 2013 season is ultimately all about RG3. Is he going to be ready for week one? Will the Redskins rush him back too soon? Will he be the same player? These questions will all be answered with time, and if they're positive answers, the Redskins will once again be in contention for the division and a playoff spot.

Here's where things get a bit confusing. In order to mark the chassis the prescribed 8-3/4 inches ahead of the front body mount bolthole, we found it more accurate to use the floor as our template and translate those measurements to the chassis. The curvature of the framerail ahead of the body mount is the reason for this. First, we used the two plumb bob readings marked down from the last step and drew a line through each mark; this gives us a nice square line from which to reference.

As a questioner in QnA will it give you more satisfaction to award BA more than receiving it?

I would say yes although the difference is not much. Asking questions is fine. Sometimes, it becomes very difficult to select the answer to award BA.Answered by Francisco, 26 Mar '13 04:46 pm
Giving B.A is my regulation work as per my QNA guide line. So, when I give, a B.A I think a job is done as it should be. But getting B.A is altogether different. Here it is a case of getting appreciation indicating the satisfaction of the questioner with my answer. These two cannot be compared.Answered by soumyen sarkar, 26 Mar '13 11:27 pm
Honestly spkng., ppl. should restrain themselves from giving BA and UV, and to be reserved for those which are really thoughtful, mind provoking, etc.Answered by MAdhavan Avadhany, 26 Mar '13 04:42 pm
Especially cut & paste GK answers does not deserve any BA at all and i do n't believe forum should be a place to check ones google capability.

Our wedding is less than a week away!
I guess I should start rolling all this spare change so we can cash it in! I can't imagine the people at the wedding chapel appreciating us showing up with our mason jars full of change… then again, I think that would be quite hilarious!
I also want to thank you guys for all of your support! Your pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters are making all the difference for us.
If you have any spare change you'd like to donate to our wedding fund, click the "donate" button on the right-hand side of our page.
…have been sent out!
Keep picking up those pennies! Stamps are expensive these days! :P
I wish I could tell you why, but for some reason I always find change at the grocery store!
Today, while I was walking out, I noticed two dimes on the floor! Needless to say, I picked them up.
And while I was at the post office, I found a dime by the counter!
Today's dimes inspired me to count up our collection dimes… So far, we have around $45 just in dimes! Amazing how the smallest of change goes unnoticed.
Keep on collecting! And don't forget that donate button on the right-hand side of our page. :)
We've received some wonderful donations over the last week.
Because of these donations, we just might be able to afford a larger bus to carry more people during our drive-thru wedding!
And don't forget, that penny on the ground always counts towards something!
Here's our collection so far!
(We've had to exchange our quarters for dollar bills since the laundromat only takes quarters. haha)
On Monday, I counted up our quarters, nickels and dimes… not our pennies, because well, those take forever. :)
Our total on Monday was $192… and if you add in pennies, other spare change around our house, it was probably closer to $200.
Then today I received a couple of emails from Paypal - notifying me that I had some donations! I was blown away. My wonderful aunt and a lady I don't know both donated to our wedding fund. A special thank you goes out to both of them.
Llew and I are so thankful for their donations as well as donations from our friends and family. We are so close to our goal with only 4 months to go!
Thank you all for your continued support. <3
PS: Check out some of our engagement photos below!
These photos are from my other blog. I had a hard time just picking a few from the amazing bunch of pictures.
Our engagement photos are here!
Here are just a few of our amazing engagement photos taken by TBG Photography in Las Vegas!
We'll be getting married on November 11th, 2011.
Our goal is to pay for our wedding in spare change that we (and our friends) find on the ground. Please reblog/retweet/forward this page or Paid In Pennies to your friends so we can get the word out that we are looking for spare change! Thanks in advance! :)

Our wedding is getting closer and closer! Less than 4 months to go!
A lot of planning has been going on - I should have our wedding invites ready by the end of the month!
As for finding spare change, we're always finding pennies and such. This weekend we returned 5 carts at the airport which racked in $1.25 - Plus, we found a nickel and a penny while going through airport security so our grand total for the weekend was $1.31!
My mom has been very diligent to return every cart she sees at the airport. Her collection for us is mostly quarters! Plus, her coworkers have been donating their spare change for our wedding. They're the most amazing people.
I think I'll do a current total update this weekend… that way I'll know how hard I need to be scouring the ground for change! :)
If you've been collecting spare change for us, THANK YOU!
Three cents on the ground today!
Every penny counts. :)
We've set a date!
In other news, I received a very sweet email from one of our followers. They attached a screen-shot of their Facebook status:
Thank you so much, Dante! It's people like you that are making this dream possible. :)
Also, last week my sister decided to surprise Llew and me with these adorable coin pouches where we can store our spare change.
I'm thinking about ordering more for those of you who'd like to have one to collect some change for us! If you'd like one, let me know! planensimpleswa @ gmail.com
Thank you for all of your support!
Unlike what most 20-somethings are doing on a Friday night, Llew and I were at home. I decided I was going to separate all of our change into 4 jars - one for quarters, one for dimes, one for nickles and one for pennies.
Then Llew suggested we count up all of our spare change and see where we're at… so we did!
Our totals came to the following:
Dollars - $7 (Llew admitted to throwing in $6 from his pocket. His reason, "So what if I want to marry you sooner than later?!")Quarters - $43.75Dimes - $13.50Nickles - $3.85Pennies - $11.00Paypal donation(s) - $23.97————————————Sub-Total: $103.07
We're off to an AWESOME start - considering we only started around 6 months ago!
If you want to start collecting change for our wedding fund, just find an empty jar and drop whatever change you find in there. Or you can just click the Paypal donate button on the right hand side of this page!
Thanks guys! At this rate we should be getting married early next year!
(The note says: Drive-Thru Wedding Fund, L <3 A)
So sorry for the lack of updates lately… we've just been finding so much spare change on the ground we haven't been able to keep up! Alright, just joking about finding so much spare change…
But we have been finding a decent amount recently! We have one mason jar filled and have another one 1/3rd filled already!
On our adventures today we found $0.05 between two parking lots and a hiking trail.
And last night, my former professor (and current friend) donated $25 to our fund through Paypal! So sweet of her.
One of these days I'm going to have to sit down and see where we're at with all of this change… Maybe I'll take a picture of all the change we have and see which of our followers can guess the closest amount!
If you'd like to donate any spare change you find on the ground, click the donate button on the right hand side of this page!
So you may be wondering - where on earth do we find so much change?
It's not like pennies fall from the sky or anything!
Well, after spending the past few months constantly scoping the ground beneath me, I'll tell ya my top three spots.
Generally the most popular place to find spare change is in parking lots. I almost always find at least one penny in the parking lot when I go to the store.
Another popular place is at the check-out line. People fumble through their pockets to get the right amount of change to pay for their stuff and *oops* a penny fell - and they're just too preoccupied to pick them up.
And last but not least is at the airport. Next time you go through the security check point, check out the ground before and after you load your bags. People have to empty their pockets when they go through the metal detector and often drop some change, however they are too concerned with getting through security that they just leave it there.
So there ya have it. My top three spots!
Keep your eyes peeled for us! :)
Last week we brought in $1.57!
Much thanks to Ashley's mom and sister for their contributions!
$0.44 this week

N.Y. gaming facility utilizes Morse Watchmans' security solutions
Saratoga Gaming & Raceway implements guard tour, access control systems at 156 acre facility
Located in the scenic and historic town of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the Saratoga Gaming & Raceway facility is an entertainment destination for the Northeast. Its attractions include over 1700 video gaming machines, live harness racing, several restaurants and a recently opened nightclub. Known as a "racino" (combined racetrack and video gaming casino), the entertainment and gaming facility is served by an in-house security team that safeguards the 50-plus buildings with the aid of a Morse Watchmans PowerCheck Guard Tour System and KeyWatcher Key Control System.
According to Bruce Cogan, director of security at Saratoga Gaming & Raceway, security and surveillance on the 156 acre property is continuous, per the rules and regulations established by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. "Policies and procedures regarding security are no different at a racino than they are at a casino," he said. "The difference lies more in the make-up of the facility because in addition to the gaming and entertainment areas of the complex we also have a race track and horse stables under our domain and all of the buildings have to be physically inspected on a daily basis."
Adherence to mandated procedures such as the daily fire watch and building checks can become routine and potentially careless unless there is a method in place to ensure the tasks are being completed. For this, Saratoga Gaming & Raceway relies on the Morse Watchmans PowerCheck Guard Tour System. With its multiple tour capabilities, integrated functions and reporting options, the PowerCheck Guard Tour System delivers a convenient and cost-effective solution that has successfully served this purpose for over 10 years at Saratoga Gaming & Raceway.
Using the Guard Tour System, building checks are automatically recorded to help make certain that the security department maintains a constant vigil on the properties. As Cogan explains, on making their rounds, the guards simply punch in at each check point station to record the visit. This information can be downloaded to the supervisor to verify that the punches on these tours are being completed in a timely manner and that the areas where the punches are located were physically checked.
"The PowerCheck Guard Tour System definitely contributes to the protection of the property," adds Cogan. "Our security guards are better able to perform their duties while making their rounds, and management can more effectively monitor the security officer's performance and follow up with additional training when required."
Saratoga Gaming & Raceway also utilizes the Morse Watchmans DataPro Data Sorting Software to convert the tour information into printable reports. The Windows based software can be customized by time, day, week and month and for added value and convenience, this same software can be used to program the data recorder and manage the files.
Managing the keys for the 50-plus buildings is another application for which Cogan and the security department have come to rely on Morse Watchmans for the solution. By only releasing assigned keys to users with the proper authorization code, the KeyWatcher Key Control System from Morse Watchmans helps guard against stolen or misplaced keys. Simple and elegant in design, the wall-mounted key storage cabinet eliminates outdated lock boxes, unreliable manual logs and messy key identification tags. KeyWatcher records the access history of each key, including user, date and time of checkout/return.

How will you honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. this April 4, the anniversary of his assassination? How about by demanding that Congress get out of Wall Street's pocket? How about by letting your representative know that you support economic equality and a just distribution of wealth in America? As Dr. King himself said, "This is America's opportunity to help bridge the gulf between the haves and the have-nots. The question is whether America will do it. There is nothing new about poverty. What is new is that we now have the techniques and the resources to get rid of poverty. The real question is whether we have the will."
With Congress about to begin the next cycle of budget battles – mostly focused on how much more pain to inflict on Main Street communities across America – a far different message is bubbling up across the land.
The enormous wealth disparity between the top 1% and the rest of America is an unsustainable economic and social injustice. We are committed to an economic recovery that employs all those willing and able, that houses all those needing shelter, and that imposes the cost based on the ability to pay.

One of the cool things about looking at a T-bucket is that you can see its plethora of parts from pretty much any angle, just as in viewing a motorcycle. And even though the engine is an integral part of the overall design, let's take a closer look. The original was motivated by a '52 Caddy, but our clone sports a '55 edition of the same basic powerplant. And, just as the original, it has all the goodies: Horne intake manifold with a quartet of Stromberg 97s, and a Jackson Roto-Faze ignition. You think of a Cad V-8 as being a really big motor, but in actuality, the 331-incher had to have a session with the boring bar to make it to current small-block Chevy dimensions of 350 cubes. The transmission is SOHRP (standard old hot rodding practice), a '39 Ford Top Loader, which (just as the original) puts power to the pavement through a shortened torque tube and early Ford rearend.

Doing Business in Japan the JMEC Way
The Japan Market Expansion Competition (JMEC) is a business training program in Japan centered on a business plan competition. The dual objectives of the program are to strengthen the skills of up-and-coming executives, while at the same time benefiting foreign and domestic companies doing business in Japan.
The program runs from November through May. The on-line application is due October 15th. It is highly recommended applicants attend one of the information sessions to learn what is required and meet past participants. Information sessions are held Sept.11th, 25th and Oct. 2nd. Registration is free. Please sign up for the upcoming session here or under Participants, Information Sessions.
Individuals who participate in the business training program receive classroom training, and hands-on experience writing a business plan for the Japanese market. Organizations that take part in the program as project clients receive a professional business plan for their activities in the Japanese market at a fraction of the cost of hiring outside consultants.
JMEC was started in 1993 by a group of individuals who desired more training about doing business in Japan. Having found none available, they began their own business training program with the support of several of the foreign chambers of commerce. Since the inception of JMEC, the program has come to be supported by seventeen foreign chambers of commerce in Japan.
Whether you are an organization in need of a business plan for the Japanese market, or an individual looking for business training in Japan, JMEC is for you.

Welcome to the San Francisco County Transportation Authority
Created in 1989, the Transportation Authority is responsible for long-range transportation planning for the city, and it analyzes, designs and funds improvements for San Francisco's roadway and public transportation networks. The Transportation Authority administers and oversees the delivery of the Prop K half-cent local transportation sales tax program. It also serves as the designated Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for San Francisco under state law, and acts as the San Francisco Program Manager for grants from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA).

Transit visionary Enrique Peñalosa inspires SF planners
Enrique Peñalosa, the former mayor of Bogota and internationally recognized leader in sustainable transportation, brought an inspiring and insightful message to San Francisco Oct. 19-20.
Peñalosa urged the city to continue to develop equitable and effective street designs that prioritize pedestrian safety and public spaces.
"It's wonderful to see what you are doing here in San Francisco," Peñalosa said. "What you are doing to make this city even better than it already is will make a great positive impact all over the world." READ MORE
McAllister Street pedestrian safety project underway
On October 23 the McAllister Street pedestrian safety project got underway.
Expected to be completed by the summer of 2015, the work will result in numerous improvements to the north side of McAllister between Larkin and Leavenworth streets, including sidewalk widening, new pedestrian lighting, landscaping, and corner bulbouts to reduce crossing distances for pedestrians.
The project will also create a new traffic island at Leavenworth and McAllister streets to slow traffic, making the intersection safer for pedestrians. These improvements will help the city achieve its Vision Zero policy goal of reducing traffic-related fatalities.
Neighborhood residents called for the various safety enhancements during a Tenderloin-Little Saigon neighborhood study led by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority.
"Pedestrian safety efforts in the Tenderloin are so special because they are completely led by our residents and our neighborhood institutions," said Jane Kim, the SFCTA commissioner who represents the Tenderloin.
Kim kicked off the ground breaking with David Seward, chief financial officer at the University of California Hastings College of the Law.
The McAllister project is funded by the University of California Hastings College of the Law and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority's Prop AA vehicle registration fee program.
Transportation Authority Board approves $131 million for New Muni Light Rail Vehicles
Action is single largest Prop K allocation to date
In early September the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a contract that allows the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to purchase up to 260 new Muni light rail vehicles (LRVs) for the Muni Metro system. Approval of the Prop K funds by the Transportation Authority Board—including allocation this year of $131.2 million and programming of an additional $27.7 million in Prop K funds in Fiscal Year 2019/20—allows the SFMTA to partially fund the base contract for 154 replacement vehicles and 24 expansion vehicles to be used to support the Central Subway. The SFMTA will use a number of fund sources to fully fund the entire $933 million base contract. The SFMTA's LRV order for Muni is currently one of the largest LRV orders in North America.
The SFMTA also plans to use over $270 million in Prop K funds over the next six years to help replace its entire bus fleet. Vehicle replacement is the single most significant factor in improving a transit system's performance.
CALL FOR PROJECTS: Cycle 4 Lifeline Transportation Program
We are pleased to announce the release of the Transportation Authority's Cycle 4 Lifeline Transportation Program (LTP) call for projects! Applications are due to the Transportation Authority by December 18, 5 pm. Guidance and materials are available on the LTP web page. We will hold a workshop for interested sponsors on Nov. 6, 9:30-11, at the Transportation Authority offices, 1455 Market Street, at 11th St., 22nd floor. READ MORE

teddybruisevelt said: As much as I respect your view on just about anything, Doctor Franklin, I'm wondering if, perhaps, your ideas of gun control take it a little far. Perhaps tighter gun regulations, making it more difficult to get a license, and requiring every home with guns to have a safe for them, or something along those lines. I simply feel as if- while, yes, guns can and are very dangerous- they still have use in protection. For a simple exaqmple, a young woman living alone could benefit from owning a gun.
Perhaps it would be a better idea not to live alone. The point is, that just because a gun is an option, does not mean it should be your only option. A gun will only keep you safe if you are attacked. A gun will threaten your safety (and the safety of those around you) all the time that it is around.

Coming to America: What Immigration Reform Would Mean for Potential Immigrants
Earlier this month, the bipartisan "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013" (S. 744) was introduced in the U.S. Senate.
The 844-page bill proposes sweeping reforms to the country's immigration laws that would create a number of new visa categories, reduce existing limits on employment visas, and strengthen border security, among other changes.
Who stands to benefit if the current draft legislation is adopted?
1. Asylum seekers:
"Eliminate the one-year filing deadline and authorize asylum officers to grant asylum during credible fear interviews." (Cozen O'Connor)
2. Lesser-skilled and agricultural workers:
"The Senate legislation creates the 'W visa' a new nonimmigrant classification for foreign workers in low-skilled jobs. Beginning in 2015, the annual cap for W visas is 20,000 for the first year and increases to 75,000 by the fourth year. For each year after the fourth year, the annual cap will be calculated according to a statistical formula taking into account various factors." (Ogletree Deakins)
3. H-1B workers (and their spouses):
"S. 744 will increase the annual cap on new H-1B petitions starting in the 2015 fiscal year from 65,000 to 110,000 and will allow this cap to be increased to a maximum of 180,000 new petitions annually, based on a 'high skilled jobs demand index.' The 20,000 cap for holders of advanced degrees from U.S. universities will be replaced with a 25,000 cap for holders of advanced degrees in STEM fields from U.S. universities… Certain H-4 spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants will be granted employment authorization." (Morgan Lewis)
4. Entrepreneurs:
"The proposal offers up to 10,000 new temporary visas to entrepreneurs who create at least three jobs, raise at least $100,000 from angel investors, venture capitalists or other investment groups, and generate at least $200,000 in revenue." (Lane Powell)
5. Immigrants from India or China:
"S. 744 proposes to eliminate the per country quota limits on employment-based immigrant (green card) visas. This provision will benefit nationals of India and China who are disproportionately affected by these limits due to the large number of immigrants who come to the United States from these two countries. The bill will also increase from 7% to 15% the per country quota limits for family-based immigrants." (Morgan Lewis)
