Can I get some opinions on Southwest Airlines?
I've never flown Southwest before so I'm looking for some opinions. My wife and I are taking a plane trip to San Francisco this summer (7 hours' worth of flight time). I'm all about saving money so Southwest is looking pretty good right now (especially with their "Wanna Get Away" fares.) I'm aware of Southwest's unassigned seating and that the first seat choices goes to the first boarding group. I'm also very aware that if my wife isn't next to me then the money I saved won't be worth the headache.
So with that being said, what is your experience with SWA? Is it worth the money I will save but possibly not sit next to each other? Or should I fork over the extra bucks to actually get assigned seating on another airline?
32 Answers answer
Spend the extra $20 and get Early Bird Check-in for one of the people in your party. Early Bird check-in will automatically check you in for your flight and you will normally be in the A group for seating. If you don't want to pay the extra $20, you are allowed to check in up to 24 hours early and if you check in right at the 24 hour mark you will usually get A group seating as well. I have used EB and normal 24hour check-in and I am always in the A group. I switched to Southwest when all the other airlines started charging for luggage. I always travel with a companion and I have never had any problems with getting two seats together.
EDIT - We have never had any problems with Southwest flights or personnel and most of our flights have been on-time.
I've flown SW and it's fine. If it's really that important that you sit together spend the extra $ for assigned seats.
For me the savings is the bigger deal as I'll see my spouse the entire time on vacation so if we don't fly sitting next to each other it's not a big deal.
I've had only good experiences with southwest.
I know it's nerve racking looking for a seat, but the flight attendants are some of the best in the air and will happily help in the very unlikely event that you won't be able to sit together.
I've also had successful conversations with them when I tried to change "unchangeable" tickets.
As a frequent flier with them, I'd also like to praise their regular seat cancellation policy. You can dump the seat any time 24 hours before the flight, meaning you can keep you plans open and lock in fair rates.
I'm actually warming up to Southwest more and more. Here's why:
Lower fares
No extra charges for up to 2 bags (seriously, other airlines are getting ridiculous with bag fees lately)
Comfortable leather seats
No assigned seats.
While not having assigned seats could be a negative (if you get stuck with the last boarding group), I generally find that it makes getting on the plane so much faster when you just take any open seat and don't have to wait for the people getting on in front of you to figure out what their seat numbers are. I wouldn't bother paying the extra money for early-check in, but I strongly recommend online check in at as close to 24 hours prior to your flight as possible. Even if you don't/can't print boarding passes, you reserve your boarding group. I've been doing this for years and the worst I've even gotten is mid-B group, which is still plenty fine for getting two seats together.
For the boarding, since you'll both be checking in together you'll board together, it shouldn't be a big deal unless you're at the very tail end, and then the flight attendants will usually try and help you find seats together.
The seats are a bit cramped and small, so for 7 hours you'll probably be thankful once you get off. But it's an airplane, you aren't going to avoid that unless you're flying first class on another airline.
Generally Southwest's arrival/departure times are solid. I never lost a bag with them when I flew with them for work every couple of months, and some was high value stuff that they took special care of.
Ditto to all above.
Also, sign up for Rapid Rewards before you book your flight. The points never expire and are good for any flight anytime once you have enough for a free flight.
Never had a problem with SW, and their staff tend to have (and share) a sense of humor. They like to sing their "buckle up" etc. statements, welcome you to your destination with a song, etc.
At one time they were really cheap to fly, not so much anymore. Their deals usually exceed the competion.
Southwest is my go to airline for domestic flights, I will do almost anything to avoid other national carriers.
love southwest. have only had 1 problem (checked bag got left behind). in return for picking the bag up at the airport (when it got there about 8 hours later) instead of them delivering it to my house, they gave me a $150 voucher. not too shabby.
I too agree with using SWA. They are normally cheaper than the other national names, and they bought out the competition in their category of service.
I would avoid booking through their southwest vacation packages. Not that they are overpriced, but at least once I could not get the early bird check in because I used the vacation package. They may have changed it since. We had a large party and we all checked in 24 hours ahead and we all got c boarding. For a large party it was a nightmare.
The flights are fine and the staff are helpful, I don't see why you would want to pay more for another airline. They really aren't better except for some first class seating.
The first time I flew SW, I almost did not get a seat! It is very important to check-in for the flight the night before as soon as the early check in is available. I usually check in from home the night before we leave, but this trip happened at a very busy time and I just figured I would check-in at the airport when I checked my luggage and printed my boarding pass. Well, I showed up to the airport 1-2 hours early and they had already checked-in all the seats! "WTH?", I thought. Wasn't my ticket suppose to reserve a seat for me? Not with SW! The ticket does not reserve your seat like most airlines. You don't actually have a seat until you check in. They printed me a security (not boarding) pass that allowed me to get to the gate. I had to wait to the very end of boarding and 1 nice lady agreed to go on standby so I could have the flight. All airlines overbook, but I would like SW a lot better if it reserved seats in the order the tickets were purchased not the order you checked in.
@ecriscit: Did you try to add the EB check-in after your purchase? My son's friend used rewards to get their tickets for a trip and I was able to use his reservation number and add the EB after the fact and had no problems what-so-ever.
One thing about SW's pilots; I believe all were prior special ops guys. None of them taxi to the end of the runway. They are immedately on the brake and take the first turn to their concourse. Usually get to the gate before planes that arrived before you, except for other SW flights.
@mtm2: So...they're reckless and don't follow the rules? I'd rather be 5 minutes later to the gate than get t-boned by another plane.
Edit: Maybe the SW terminal is just close to the runway at your airport so it seems like they're getting to the gate faster.
Will agree with most of the above. As far as EB - I've never done it - just not worth the $. But, I usually have a child 4 & under, or am by myself. Best advice I can give is be at your computer 24 hrs before you fly, and get your boarding passes at exactly 24 hrs, when they open them up. I've never been further than the 1st "B" boarding group (A 1-30, A 31-60, B1-30, etc is how they board).
Alternatively, if you are a gambler, if not all the EB seats are taken, they release them shortly before take-off. My mother wound up getting A2 on a recent flight, and she was discussing it with someone who got A3. Both of them forgot to check in until they got to the airport.
Never had a problem with the service, and they are also my go-to for domestic travel. Checked bags are pretty much a given when traveling with kids, so that's at least $100 saved per trip.
They aren't as cheap as they used to be, but they have one of the best flying experiences. Fast and friendly, and as long as you're not one of the last people to board (in the dreaded "C" boarding group) you should have no problems finding seats together.
I agree with @djp519, you really don't need to be in the A group to get two seats together as long as you don't mind being towards the back of the plane
SouthWest is our go-to airline for domestic flights. Friendly staff, on-time flights. No baggage fees, or ridiculousness. Worth it.
@bsmith1: No. If they were reckless they'd be fined/lose their jobs. It seems to be an option for them to either run to the end of the runway or turn off and they choose to turn off. I suspect it also helps their "on time" rate.
They're the only one's I fly with when I'm paying for the tickets. When I travel for work, it's always Sunday flights from California to the eastern states, I take advantage of my layover and get lunch.
Return flights same story, one layover gives me a chance to break up the time in the seat.
A lot of the flights have wifi to buy (maybe everyone does now a days), and I am ok in the seats, and I'm 6'0" and broad shouldered. Wing/exit seats are nice if I score them, but I'm ok anywhere.
As for earlybird, it's easy to be at a computer 24 hours before leaving my house, I can schedule that, but while traveling , do you want to remember to be at a computer 24 hours before your return flight? Meh, for me, free baggage and cheaper airfare, yes, I'll cough up $20 for the EB check in.
I've flown Southwest a few times and echo what everyone else has said. I've often flown with large groups and never had any problems. The staff is always wonderful.
I would fly them more if they flew out of DFW instead of Love Field in Dallas (stupid Wright Amendment).
I just had to fly Delta for a business trip. Reminded me why I do my best to choose either SouthWest or Frontier.
Another vote for Southwest here. Best bang for the buck.
I have been flying SW for 6-7 yrs now. If you are on your A game and set an alarm to check-in right at 24 hours before your flight you can ususally get in the A group boarding, but you will ALWAY check in early enough to sit with your wife. There is always a really large group of people who forget to check in ahead of time.
2 free bags!
Flight rewards!
No change flight fees!
Best on time record in the industry!
Decent seating, fair amount of leg room!
I can't fly anything else without sorely missing Southwest.
love me some southwest. i ditto all the positives folks have said above. I've only had 1 bad experience, and it wasn't their fault, and they did their best to fix the situation:
I was flying from OH out to Idaho for my Grandma's Funeral. Like every route I've experienced with them, i couldn't get anything resembling a direct flight, was routed From Columbus->Orlando->Denver->Boise. just happened to be the one day they got really bad storms, (including tornadoes) in Orlando. sat on the runway for an hour wile the weather was booming and pouring outside, before they would let us get into the terminal. when we finally did, things had changed enough, that the plane i was on, which was supposed to go on to denver, had now been reassigned to another route, so i had to change planes, they first told me the wrong gate, so i nearly missed the actual flight. then when we got to denver, the we still had to wait another hour or so for everyone else to arrive..
... then finally got into boise around 1 am MST, (Flight was supposed to be in around 11), by which time everything IN the airport had long since closed. Luckily i was meeting my folks there, their flight(Delta) had gotten in on time, and they had picked up the Rental before the counter closed.
Fast Forward to the Luggage Carousel- Mine never arrived. (1 am, Funeral @ Noon)
Southwest took my report, Gave me a toiletry kit, and said they would reimburse me for Clothes Purchase up to $50. (with receipts of course). So we head down the road to the hotel. first thing in the AM, head to the local Walmart. Shirt, Pants, Tie, Polish for My Boots, $47. then en route down to the Funeral, get a call that they had located my bags (some how had gone to Chicago) and they were en route to Boise. After Funeral, Check Voice Mail, Bags made it to Boise, and their Driver was en route. When we Flew back, gave them the receipts, they Cut me a check. week later get a $70 voucher for my troubles.
One more Southwest fan here. I can't even remember the last time I flew a different airline. My daughter and I fly 1-2 times a year to visit grandma and have NEVER had a bad experience with SW. Free check in bags is a HUGE plus. Also something to keep in mind is that they DO NOT charge a change fee if you have to change your reservation or flight time. All you have to do is pay the difference in airfare, which can be substantial but MUCH less than paying the difference plus a $50 fee (which my Mom had to do on Alaska Air). I booked a flight on our last trip, then a week later found out I needed to chage it by a week. I called and ended up getting a $20 CREDIT for switching because they had a Wanna Get Away fare for that day. I mean what other airline would give you a credit for changing your plans?
If you fly on anything like a regular basis I would consider a Southwest Rewards credit card. i signed up with a special and got 2 free roundtrip tickets worth of points.
SW is well worth the money saved IMHO. I flew them last in August, with my family of 2 kids and wife. One the flight out we were split up but the flight back we were all seated next to each other.
Their fares are low, plus they don't charge for checked baggage, which makes them extremely cheap.
one more thing to keep in mind. Depending on your departure/destination point, they don't have as many direct flights as you might find elsewhere. I've Flown them to Dallas twice,(My Brother lives in Dallas)
First time, Went Columbus->Tampa->Houston->Dallas.(had bought a car from Brother, drove it back)
Next was Columbus->Chicago(midway)->Kansas city->Dallas.(Return Dallas->St.Louis->Columbus)
now when my parents fly down there, or he flies home, they take American or Delta, They have direct flights between Dayton & Dallas, about 2 hrs.(Dayton is closer to our house than Columbus, but southwest only started going there in the last 6 months or so, Still no direct flights to Dallas.)
Another SWA fan here, for all of the reasons listed above (no baggage charges, great flight staff, better prices, etc.). I drive 30 minutes further to the New Orleans airport, just so I can fly SWA. I occasionally have to use other airlines, but I much prefer SouthWest. I have to confess that part of this is based on the fact that I attended an HR conference many years ago where one of the speakers was from SWA. Their head of HR held the title of "Vice President for People," or something like that. The employment policies SWA had at that time were impressive enough to stir my interest in SWA (strange, I know, but it made sense to me).
Another thing you might want to investigate if you like SWA is getting one of the SWA Visa cards. DH and I each got one last year and received, I think, 50,000 "miles" travel points each. With these we got free tickets for our San Francisco trip in November and still have points leftover.
Speaking of checking in 24hr before your flight departs. If you have a smartphone, they have an app, so you can use the phones web browser to check in at the actual website or you can simply use the app, which has some other nice features as well. I "check in" anywhere I can get a signal.
Thanks everybody for your feedback! We definitely decided to go with SWA thanks to your comments; and saved at least $250 vs other carriers. As an added bonus both of our flights are nonstop, our arriving flight arrives in the morning and our departing flight leaves in the evening; something no other carrier seemed to be able to do!
I used @hessem's reasoning to get my companion to get over the fact that we may not sit next to each other. I took your advice @theoneill555 and spent the extra $20 ($40 for both tix) to get early check-in. I figured it would be worth the peace-of-mind, and I'm still saving $250.
Thanks again!

One College Drive
Bennington, VT 05201-6003
Bennington College kicked off the spring term with an opening of two art exhibitions on Wednesday, March 4, in the College's Usdan Gallery, VAPA.
The Bennington Collects Bennington exhibition features student and alumni work that has been collected by the College or by members of its extended community.
"Bennington has always been a self-perpetuating art exchange," says student curator Edward Ubell '09. "As artists create their work, members of the community acquire it. This practice of collecting-whether it be through gifting, bartering, or outright purchasing of pieces-reflects in the most positive light our tightly knit campus and how we foster the creative minds that exist within it."
Print Exchange, curated by faculty member Thorsten Dennerline, features work by 20 artists who were each asked to produce 20 prints in exchange for a set of prints containing one piece from each artist.
"This kind of exchange portfolio," Dennerline says, "is a common practice for printmakers that takes advantage of the inherent aspect of the print, the multiple, and allows for a democratic exchange of prints between the various artists. At the same time, this practice is an excellent way to create an interchange of ideas among a group of artists."
The exhibitions will remain open to the public during Usdan's normal operating hours until Saturday, March 28. Print Exchange will be presented at the 2009 Southern Graphics Council Conference in Chicago from March 25-29.

Last Sunday, a fire ripped through a Western Kentucky University fraternity house, destroying everything it's path.
This afternoon, Sigma Alpha Epsilon members continued to pick through the rubble and gather what's left of their belongings, while fire investigators continue to look for answers.
"It was pretty quick, it happened all so fast."
Michael Casagrande survived the fire at the SAE fraternity house.
"I remember waking up to the smoke detector, I thought it was someone playing a joke."
Michael lived in an upper floor room and while he never thought he'd experience anything like this his parents thought it was best to be prepared and bought him a fire escape ladder that he credits for saving his life.
Michael remembers the phone call to his parents at 5:30a.m. as he watched his house go up in flames.
"I'm okay, everything is alright the house is burning down but thank you."
While fire investigators continue to look for the cause of the blaze, fraternity members pick through the rubble and gather what's left of their belongings.

Terms and Conditions of the Perkins Loan
The Perkins Loan is a 5% deferred interest loan based on financial need. Funds come from the federal government and Southern Oregon University is the lender. The Perkins Loan is available to both undergraduate and graduate students. By federal law, undergraduates may borrow up to $4,000 per academic year and $6,000 per award year for a graduate or professional student. Cumulative maximums are $20,000 for undergraduates and $40,000 for graduates. Post baccalaureate students not enrolled in a degree program are ineligible for Perkins Loan funds. First priority is given to early FAFSA filers with high financial need.
These funds must be repaid. When borrowers leave SOU or drop below six credit hours they must complete exit counseling for the Perkins Loan. Borrowers have a nine-month grace period on the loan after they leave school, and interest does not accrue during this grace period. There are no origination fees when the loan is disbursed.
It is the borrower's obligation to keep the lender (Southern Oregon University) informed about changes in his or her status. Changes to a borrower's name, address, phone number, or Social Security number must be reported immediately by contacting the Long Term Loan Office or logging into your account on the ECSI website and changing the demographic information.

If someone asks, "What day is it today?" and it is 10 pm, is it correct to respond with
"Today was Tuesday."
since the day is over and it's night? Is that response incorrect? Should the correct response be
"Today is Tuesday."?
Today has been a bitch! It's only 11 a.m. and things aren't going all that well. Restaurant employee problems. But it's still Wednesday here in Taiwan.
At 10 p.m., if I decide to go to sleep and not get up until tomorrow, then I'll say "Today was a bitch!" because the day will be over for me, even if you stay up till midnight. But it'll still be Wednesday here in Taiwan. So if you were to ask me "What day is it today?" before I nodded off, I'd say "It is still Wednesday, as far as I know".
Tense is relative to events, not necessarily to the clock. And some theoretical physicists tell us that time isn't real anyway. Others say that it bends along with space, which still others allege is vacant. No wonder tense and the sequence of tenses are so confusing. Especially for everyone who lives in countless alternative universes.
I live in my own universe, a universe for one: Corvette.
You could only say "Today was Tuesday" if it's midnight and Tuesday has passed into Wednesday.
"Day" can mean both "period of light" and "24-hour calendar slot". Which one depends on context. By asking "what day is today?", the implied context is more likely to be the second one, since 'what day' expects a calendar answer.
If someone instead said "Isn't it a lovely day?" as the sun is setting, then you could respond "It was a lovely day" since the implied context is more likely to be the period of light.

Assume (M,∊M) is a model of ZF. Assume also that (n,∊n) ∊ M is a model in the sense of M and (N,∊N) is a model in the real world with the property that for all sentences σ
N ⊨ σ if and only if M ⊨ (n ⊨ σ).
By using conjunction ∧ it follows that, if T is a finite set of sentences then
N ⊨ T if and only if M ⊨ (n ⊨ T). (1)
For example, if T consists of only two sentences σ1 and σ2 then
N ⊨ T iff N ⊨ σ1∧σ2 iff M ⊨ (n ⊨ σ1∧σ2) iff M ⊨ (n ⊨ T)
However, for an infinite set of sentences T the same argument to prove (1) does not work. Furthermore I think that (1) is not true for infinite T but the reasons for this are unclear to me.
Let's take T=ZF for example. To prove (1), could we not proceed as follows? First we construct ZF (the set of sentences) inside M. We can surely do this inside a model of ZF. Let's call this set ZFM. Then if we knew that there is some kind of correspondence between ZFM and the real world ZF, then using this correspondence, could we somehow deduce (1) or even one implication of the equivalence (1)?
My question is that what kind of relationship (if any) there is between the set of sentences constructed in the model M, say TM, and the real T. And if they happen to be fundamentally different, then what are the reasons behind this? Furthermore, is there some property of the model M which guarantees that TM and the real T are essentially the same?

I understand (at least to a comfortable degree) dimensions which are less than or equal to 3. For the past several years, I have been hearing a lot about four dimensional space. I'm intrigued and would like to learn more but, I do not know where to start.
Any breadcrumbs would be appreciated.
Edit: What I mean by understanding 3-dimensional space is that I can comprehend concepts like l*w*h. I am not remotely in the ballpark of being a geometer (in fact I just learned the term) or topologist.
I've done coursework in statistics, pre-calculus, finite, and discrete; I imagine that stats and finite won't help me here. These courses were all several years ago. I'm not opposed to a long journey if that is necessary. I am just looking for a path to the material. I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if further clarification is needed; I'll try my best.

I´m trying to add something like a guestbook, where the user can write about our services, something like comments with few more content like country, facebook page... should i do this with a single page extending the default comments using with wordpress or i have to add a new content type? How can i give the user permission tu publish without register?
The easiest way by far would be as you suggested to use a page coupled with comments. Restyle it so that it looks more like a guestbook.
I'm sure there are plugins out there that do this but I don't see the point as you'll need to restyle them anyway and it just slows down your site.
I would use a custom page template that pulls output from a custom post type. You could have a form at the bottom of this page which would allow users to submit their own content.
The page template and post type are easy, just a file and

Page 316 of the tikz-pfg manual describes meta arrow tips and says that usually we do not want to have the tip scaled the same way as the supporting line. Is there a way to keep this feature, ie, when using
line width=5pt, the tip should be five times bigger than for
line width=1pt?
The v2.10 pgfmanual discusses these on Page 609. It shows both the meta arrows and the resized arrows.
In the TeX code for the manual the arrow tips were coded using
Below is a comparison. The red arrows are resized according to the line size, and the blue ones are the meta arrows that are not simply scaled. From the small and large line widths it is clear that the meta arrows produce better looking results:

They're making a come back thanks to the close shave they provide and the extremely affordable price of the replacement blades. It basically unscrews and you can insert a razor blade. Because these razor blades are so easy to take out, safety razors are not permitted in your carry-on luggage with the blade. The blades must be stored in your checked luggage.
This is a disposable razor. They come in two types. The kind that is completely disposable (handle and all), or the kind where you replace them with cartridges. These are permissible in carry-on luggage with the blade and replacement cartridges.

While in multi-player GLaDOS only seems to compliment Orange (P-Body) for winning and says that Blue (Atlas) is "Dead weight". I'm pretty sure this is standard because she says it when Orange is just holding a button down, but is it in anyway a reflection of your progress?
GlaDOS seems more interested in dividing Blue and Orange than picking favorites, and will show favor to either Blue or Orange. In the Yogscast, GlaDOS awards Orange "five science collaboration points" in one level (10:27 in), then awards the same to Blue in a later level (11:45 in):
In a later episode, GLaDOS states that:
But the smoking gun, as it were, that she doesn't necessarily favor Orange comes at 9:00 when she states:
So whether it's dependent on performance is possible (although unlikely if you watch these videos), but she doesn't seem to have a complete disdain for Blue.
The responses may not always be used with the same frequency, but most of her taunts to one seems to have an equal and opposite. That said, she does flat out say she hates blue a little more, one remark I can't find the dual of.
(Anti-one vs. pro-other is a bit arbitrary...)
There are also plenty of general jabs that don't really seem to favor either side, but are just (vain) attempts to develop mutual animosity between the partners.
The developer commentary mentions that blue is supposed to be a prototype robot, with orange being a more advanced model.

I heard in some previews that Brink would have used Steamworks but today I went on an online store and the PC cover shows the logo Game For Windows Live.
Can you clarify which is the truth? I am asking this because I am not a big fan of GWFL (to say it softly) and I would buy probably only if it use Steam infrastructure for matchmaking, ladders, server browsing and so on.

Family JewelWritten by on August 21, 2012
'32. Favored cars occasionally stick around for future generations, but not always. When the machine in question is a legitimate '50s-era hot rod, it's less likely to stay with the same family for half a century. As times and interests change, owners too often watch what was once treasured driven away by a perfect (or not-so-perfect) stranger. That almost happened here, too.
Tony D'Agostino owns Tony's Parts, a well-known Chrysler restoration business in Harrington, Delaware. Though he and his parents live near each other now, his family is originally from The Bronx, New York. Back in 2009, when original modifier "Uncle Mac" decided to sell the worn, dented '32 Ford roadster he had built back in the postwar hot rod boom, Tony made a hard call. "You know, if this car had not been hit, I probably would have just let him sell it," admits the 49-year-old nephew. "It had been hit in one fender, and I felt it deserved to be restored. Had it been more marketable, I might have passed on it. It did have the Chrysler driveline, plus all this cool history. Now that it's done, I am really, really happy I took the plunge and kept it in our family."
Maximillian "Mac" D'Agostino bought the Deuce in 1953 as just another 21-year-old used car. For the next several months, the young man worked with his friends and brothers, including Tony's father, Robert, to turn it into a credible Big Apple hot rod, installing an early 331ci Chrysler Firepower mill. The Bronx had no dragstrips. However, certain street names were becoming notorious for late-night cruising, and Mac found that his fast, black '32 could bring home bragging honors and occasional greenbacks in the then-exploding youth-culture movement known as hot rodding.
By 1956, Max decided to take a run at legitimate acceleration— but only after losing his driver's license. Undaunted, he went to the DMV and got a new license under his middle name, Anthony. Then he drove to Kansas City for NHRA's second annual National Drags. Anthony D'Agostino is the name listed on the entry forms, and the original B/Roadster classification tag remains affixed to the dashboard. The sands of Daytona also beckoned. When it was still possible to race on the beach itself, the top-down Ford chased the wind during Speed Weeks in the winter of 1955-'56. Back home, the trophies began to pile up from strips like Westhampton and, later, New York National Speedway.
The baby Hemi was eventually replaced by a biggest-of-the-breed 392 fed by four Strombergs and a TorqueFlite pulled out of an Imperial. Mac's pursuit of speed continued into the '60s and '70s, even as family and business responsibilities took priority. The roadster remained a favored toy for 39,000 miles, all of which were recorded by the odometer in the surviving Stewart-Warner "wings" speedometer. Neither the car nor Uncle Mac ever moved out of the Bronx.
Fifty-seven years would pass before Mac decided the time had come to part with his baby. After all, his son, Robert, owned a similar Deuce roadster, and the vintage-car business ran deep in the family blood. Though more a muscle-car guy than a rodder, Tony threw caution to the wind, anted up, and brought Uncle Mac's car down to Delaware. "I set out to restore it to how it looked in the mid-to-late '50s," he explains, "and to drive it. The main thing was reusing all the old, original parts."
It was a healthy pile, too: rare BLC headlights, wings-style Stewart-Warner instruments, prewar Chrysler wire wheels, the '31 Buick rear window that replaced Henry Ford's version (because the factory opening was small and hard to see through), the spare tire and cover, and Mac's original Highwaymen club plaque. He also stuck with a representative dual-quad intake from the early '60s, updating Carter's AFBs with Edelbrock replacements. (Meanwhile, the search is on for an affordable four-Stromberg manifold.) Tony's dad donated some original Deuce goodies from his personal stash, as did both Bill Towers and Bob May. The Hot Rod Garage (Denton, Maryland), the Ram Rod Shop (Dover, Delaware), and brother-in-law Jeff Spishock share credit for shaping the combination of old and new parts into something fast, safe, reliable, beautiful, and truly traditional.
"This is not a street rod," corrects Tony whenever an onlooker applies that description. "This is a hot rod, the way guys really built cars back in the '50s—a hot rod."

After half a century in The Bronx, this Deuce has been put out to pasture in the farmland of southern Delaware. Cindy and Tony D'Agostino now enjoy a car that's been in Tony's family for nearly 60 years.Once the all-steel body was massaged back into spectacular shape by the Ram Rod Shop, Mike Mancini of American Musclecar Restorations shot the deep-black paint.A combination of old iron and replacements parts, this '92 was built for power and reliability. Modern updates include Edelbrock's AFBs, a Chrysler electronic ignition box, and sexy headers. While a purist restoration would be more acceptable at Pebble Beach, Tony, like his uncle Mac before him, built the car to drive—in all conditions.Surviving goodies from Uncle Mac's Highwaymen days include the chrome spare-tire cover and five-wire-spoked, prewar Chrysler wheels.The same leather that Uncle Mac enjoyed was still so nice that Tony needed only to clean it. Stader's Upholstery (Milford, Delaware) added wool carpeting to a passenger compartment that's otherwise virtually identical to its '50s configuration.Tony's one interior modification was the replacement of an aftermarket floor shifter and console with these dash-mounted push buttons for the TorqueFlite. The switch to "typewriter" shifting opened up considerable legroom in the cramped cockpit.Stewart-Warner's classic "wings" gauges all remain functional. The odometer shows 40,320 miles since their installation. To the right is Mac's original tag from the '56 NHRA Nationals in Kansas City, where he clocked 14.48 seconds at 102.04 mph.Among Mac's fortuitous parts swaps was the upgrade to BLC 904-A headlights with integrated markers. Some rodders think this company's product line began with the earliest optional sealed lamps used as prewar OEM equipment on Buick-LaSalle-Cadillac (BLC) models. The reality is that Guide Lamp Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of GM, was associated with supplier Brown-Lipe-Chapin (BLC) Co., of Syracuse, New York, and BLC formally joined Guide in 1936 as a lamp and die-casting producer (which is why some products are identical). To the rest of the world, BLC is better known for its WWII-era Browning water-cooled machine guns.
Builder Mac D'Agostino, who now resides in an assisted-living facility in New York, recently gave his nephew these cool trophies that the '32 won in drag meets and car shows.Uncle Mac entered B/Street Roadster at Westhampton, Long Island, in May 1959 and came away with another class trophy. Joining in the celebration are (from left) Mac, brother Frank, an adoring female fan, friend Frank Scapelli, and 17-year-old Robert D'Agostino, Tony's dad.Uncle Mac entered B/Street Roadster at Westhampton, Long Island, in May 1959 and came away with another class trophy.

In 1957, this engine installation earned a trophy at the Draggin' Highwaymen Motorama.

KUNKEL, Richard Jarrod, formerly of Toronto and Craig, CO, passed away Thursday, November 8, 2012, in Corona, CA.
Jarrod was born in Salida, CO August 2, 1981, son of Richard F. Kunkel of Toronto, OH, and Dianna Ponikvar of Craig, CO.
He was proceeded in death by his paternal grandfather, John A. Kunkel in 1986; paternal great-grandparents Harold and Ledra Clark of Toronto; and his Aunt Annie Ponikvar of Rocks Springs, WY.
Jarrod spent his early childhood in Toronto, playing little league and Titan football until he moved to Craig, CO, in 1992. At Moffat County High School in Craig, Jarrod played varsity baseball starting his freshman year. He was the quarterback for Moffatt High until an injury to his ankle ended his football career. He received a college baseball scholarship to Mesa College in Grand Junction, Co. where he excelled as a pitcher, catcher, and third baseman.
He continued his college education and baseball career in Twin Falls, ID, and Belleview, NE, and Colorado Northwest Community College, Co. Jarrod also was an assistant coach there while recovering from a shoulder injury. After college, Jarrod was pitching in Las Vegas when he broke his back while pitching in a game. He was clocked in pitching at 92 mph. The broken back injury halted the next step of his plans for the minor league in Louisiana.
Jarrod then returned to Denver where he worked as an HVAC until he decided that his love and passion was still on the baseball diamond. Jarrod moved to California through a former college baseball colleague where the X-Factor Baseball Academy was started in Corona, CA. It was here that Jarrod fulfilled his love of the game by teaching baseball and witnessing first hand , the progress each of his students.
Jarrod is survived by his parents, Rick (companion Donna Haynes) and Dianna; his sister, Lindsey (Ben) Bravdica and niece Petra of Aurora, CO; paternal grandmother, Juanita Kunkel of Toronto, OH,; his maternal grandparents, Bob and Gladys Ponikvar of Grand Junction, CO.

Is it in any way possible to add URLs or hyperlinks to photos? It's for adding to a web page. I know there is an image map option. But is it possible using any tool to directly add it to the image?
closed as off topic by Mark Whitaker, ElendilTheTall, Matt Grum, mattdm, rfusca Feb 15 '12 at 15:28
Questions on Photography Stack Exchange are expected to relate to photography within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If I understand the question, you want embedded in your image a clickable URL. ChrisF and Mike have explained how to provide links in HTML, but what you are after is something permanently embedded in your image. Even an image map is an HTML construct that isn't permanently embedded in your image.
Adobe Flash and PDF files can contain clickable URLs if you want to do some work. PDF isn't ideal as it isn't universally accepted, and even Flash isn't available on all platforms.
I think you're best to rely on people see your website URL and typing it in themselves, unless you can ask web masters to link your images back to your site for you.
If I understand your question properly, you are adding an image to a web page and want to have it jump to another page when clicked?
You would achieve this in a web page using the the anchor, or <a> HTML tag.
Firstly, you would add your photo like this:
Then wrap it in an anchor tag and point that with the href attribute where to link to:
The <img> has many more attributes such as
You can find out more about these tags here:
If you want, as the comment below suggests, an image map, then you use the <map> tag. More information and an example of how to use the <map> tag can be found here...
No, directly adding a clickable link to an image is not possible. That is because this depends on the viewer and viewers will all differ. In the specific case you mention that you want it "for adding to a web page", the answers give ways in using a construct to link image and link together.
One option is to use a watermark: Overlay the link (as text) onto the image. This is the only way to "directly add it to the image" so that it is hard to remove.
The metadata that can be stored in a photographic file is metadata about the image as a whole - it's worth considering that much of the metadata requirements have been for publishing workflows, where images would often be cropped, or used in part. As such, none of the current metadata schemes allow for photographs to have different metadata apportioned to different regions - that's a very long-winded way of saying "There is no standard way to embed destination URLs for regions of an image into the metadata".
If you wanted to pursue this idea, then the XMP side-car files are just XML, and as such extensible; but you would require all applications that would edit the photo to understand your extensions and apply changes if the image is cropped or transformed. A simplier option, for your specific use case is to package the image in another format that already supports the specific functionality you require (e.g. Flash, PDF, MHT)
What are you trying to achieve? A URL could be added to image meta data, but you'd need a program to read the data and act on it. I don't know of any browser that would do this.
The standard way is to wrap the image in a hyperlink:
If you need the url to be visible on the image then you'll need to use some image editing software (Paint.NET, Photoshop, etc) to add the text.
This method will make the entire image clickable. To make just the text clickable then you'll need to have an image map set up that defines the clickable area to be the same as the extent of the text. There's no way round this.

What kind of earbuds would you recommend I use with my iPad2?
Ever since I got my iPad, I've mostly been listening to my music through its speaker. While it works great for me, it is generally frowned upon at the gym and library. So I'm looking for decent pair of comfortable earbuds. I don't know much about headphones in general, but something that is at least the quality of the iPad speaker would be great. I'm also not looking to spend a ton of money, but am willing to pay a reasonable amount that will get me something better and longer lasting than the low quality types. What kind would you recommend?
6 Answers answer
These may be a bit expensive but are by far the best I have used
Bose MIE2i Mobile Headset
You can sometimes find them on sale for ~70$
It depends on what's comfortable for you and how important sound quality is. I've got a pair of Altec Lansing earbuds (no idea on the model) that are among the best I've ever used. Practically every other pair I've tried just wouldn't stay in the ear, no matter what bud shape I used. So for me personally, fit is a very important factor.
For your lower to mid range earbuds, you probably wont notice a huge difference in sound quality.
I'd suggest heading over to Marshall's or TJ Maxx or whatever you have local and investigating what they have. All the boxes will have the technical specs, so you can compare that way. Try a couple and see if you find one you like. Best of all, it'll be cheap. If none of those work for you, then look towards spending some more money.
Keep an eye on deals sites, though. I got my current buds on a whim from one, paid like six dollars ("listed" around 70) and I am truly impressed.
If you can get past the fit, Monoprice 8320.
The lack of ear tip options is its biggest pitfall. The sound quality ... these will hold its own even against $100+ sets.
I am partial to UltimateEars. Naturally, I mean the cheap ones not the $1300 custom fit earbuds that musicians use. I bought 2 pairs 2 years ago for 20 bucks each on sale at Logitech. Unfortunately, I lost the one pair shortly later but the other pair worked for quite some time afterwards. They only stopped working when the cord was violently pulled out of my computer. Logitech support was amazing and sent me another pair for free. I still use that pair every day. I've never splurged on $100 earbuds or anything but the MetroFi 220v that I have are better than anything I've ever listened to.
@narfcake: Thanks, ordered four because my cats keep chewing on them. Did you see the earplug trick to make them fit better?
Big +1 on @gopvifootball's Ultimate Ears 100 suggestion (I think they're usually around $15 or $20 when not on sale). They come with 3 sizes of silicone eartips, and you get a surprising amount of noise isolation just from those while still being able to put them in and take them out quickly and easily.
JVC Marshmallow earbuds are also a cheap classic -- they're basically earbuds with foam earplugs attached to the end. The foam material does mean that you need to spend a little time compressing the foam and inserting it into your ear every time you want to put them in, which means it's harder to pull out one earbud casually to talk to someone for a few seconds.

If I have the right numbers, it seems to me that even Hubble telescope might barely be able to make out a carcass of a blue whale on the surface of the moon, which puts objects as small as the lunar rovers or the American flag left there by Apollo out of range. Hubble is often lauded as the best telescope we have built. I know a large part of that is because it is in space where it's free from all of the interference of the atmosphere, but is there any ground-based observatory with better resolution? Is there any place on Earth where I could point a scope at the Sea of Tranquility and see what we left there over 40 years ago?
Information extracted from The Curious Team answers: Are there telescopes that can see the flag and lunar rover on the Moon?
Update: In a comment to my answer, @Envite mentions Astronomical Interferometers which are:
It also must be noted that probably this wouldn't be the best idea for watching the moon rovers since:

STEUBENVILLE - City officials are preparing to go public with their request for health care concessions from the three city employee unions.
City Council agreed with a recommendation from City Manager Cathy Davison to hold a townhall meeting in the near future.
"Representatives from Health America will offer what a city similar in size to Steubenville and with union workers is doing with their health care program. Health America will present the benchmarks during the townhall meeting. You have seen the results from our Joint Health Care Committee meetings," Davison told council members during a finance committee meeting Tuesday night.
"We will invite the public to attend the meeting to learn what we are asking from our unions as far as changes to our health care program. We hope city residents will then put pressure on the city unions to consider our proposed changes," Davison stated.
"The Joint Health Care Committee has been working for months and we have gotten no concessions. The health care provider was willing to go to the union meetings to explain the situation, but we got no response," said Davison.
First Ward Councilman Gerald DiLoreto supported the idea of a townhall meeting.
"I am tired of this council being the whipping boy. Ninety percent of our city budget goes to salaries and benefits. That's 20 percent over the national average. Only 35 percent of our city residents are paying taxes. This city has become a retirement community subsidized by the government. If everyone gave back what this council has given back, we could erase our debt," said DiLoreto.
"In 2010 we were paying $8,500 a year for an employee's health care coverage. In 2012 that cost was $11,000 for each employee. Everything we do affects the cash flow. We will have to tackle the health care issue," noted 6th Ward Councilman David Lalich.
"There are no other cuts we can make except in the contract negotiations. We will have to look at health care, a wage freeze and maybe vacations. But we are also going to have to make decisions as a council. We are going to make some very good friends unhappy with us, but we have to do this," remarked Councilman at large Kenny Davis. And, 3rd Ward Councilman Greg Metcalf called for the city administration "to prepare a game plan for the future as soon as possible."
"We want to save manpower so we need to look at health care. We are looking at a $262,034 deficit this year, but in 2014 we are looking at a $2 million deficit and a $4 million deficit in 2015. We really need to look at our future. We need a plan we can look at now," said Metcalf.
Davison said she has been meeting with Finance Director Alyssa Kerker and will continue to meet to prepare recommendations.
"I am glad to see that happen. I have been asking for that for the past two years. The sooner you get back to council the better it will be. It is not fair to ask this council to make decisions in November and December that affect people's lives," said 2nd Ward Councilman Rick Perkins.
Davison said the city will have to hire a new police officer in order to stay in compliance with a federal grant.
Council members questioned Davison and Kerker about plans to install a new water meter system designed to save the city money.
"We have prepared a draft of a request for proposals and are now waiting for our department heads to review the document. We will have that RFP out to the Neptune Technology Group by the end of this month. We will then put a notice in trade publications that the city is accepting bids for a new meter program. We should have someone in place starting the meter replacement process by April," explained Davison.
Lalich said the finance committee will meet again at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 19 "because we need to stay on top of this."
Council's service committee also met Tuesday night to discuss overgrown properties, high weeds and a recycling program.
"I want to get a jump on weeds. I want to get a program started rather than wait until May when the grass and weeds start growing," said 5th Ward Councilman Willie Paul.
Perkins suggested a four-day sanitation collection schedule. "On the fifth day six of the sanitation workers could be used to cut lots and patch streets. I'm trying to look at ways we can do more for the community. I'm looking for a way to give you extra help one day a week," Perkins said.
"That is a feasible idea. And there are many things we can look at. But we have arrived at the point where we need to discuss what services we provide and how we can provide them. We can do many things but it is difficult to do everything," responded Street and Sanitation Superintendent Bob Baird.
Baird said a pilot recycling program in the Buena Vista neighborhood remains a good idea.
"I'm committed to more automation that protects the men. I would like to see the sanitation department become a job you can retire from and not get beat up by the job. But in order to go down that road we will all have to make decisions," said Baird.
He also said the city can consider a weed killing program that would allow workers to spray a vacant lot in the spring.
"I know the weed issue is killing us but I would rather see Bob's department focus on recycling. Code Enforcement Officer Shawn Scott and the Municipal Court Community Service program can deal with the weeds and high grass," said 4th Ward Councilwoman Angela Suggs.
During council's sunshine meeting, Perkins proposed legislation to advertise for bids for the 2013 Community Development Block Grant-funded street improvement program.
He also introduced an ordinance to advertise for bids for a 2013 parks security lighting program.
Metcalf proposed an ordinance authorizing the purchase of property at the marina from the Ohio Department of Transportation for $1.
Metcalf said the property is part of the marina observation deck project.
A resolution declaring February as Black History Month in Steubenville was proposed by Suggs.
Lalich introduced legislation for the payment of purchase orders over $3,000. And an ordinance to approve and adopt current replacement pages to the city's codified ordinances was introduced by Davis.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -A review of Go Topeka sparked debate at Wednesday's Joint Economic Development Organization meeting.
IO. Inc performed the independent review and gave glowing remarks, but two city council members who sit on JEDO were skeptical of the review because Go Topeka paid for it themselves.
Founder of IO. Inc, Ionna Morfessis stands by her company's reputation of objectivity saying, "The fact is that regardless of who engaged us in this work our results would have been absolutely the same. We have one thing in this world and that's reputation.
She also said the review shows that GoTopeka's economic development and marketing is on par with large booming cities like Oklahoma City, Atlanta and Dallas.
City Council member Chad Manspeaker was one that saw the review as flawed saying "An objective review should have positive and negative comments and the only negative was about JEDO and thats on our end."
Manspeaker also said "I think the JEDO body exists independently of GoTopeka and it's our responsiblity as tax payers to make sure these dollars are spent in the best possible way and right now i cannot go to my constituents and say this body is spending their money wisely."
One problem IO. Inc did point out in its review was the relationship between jedo and Go Topeka, which members agreed to work on.

Jamco Suspension For 1949-1953 Ford Shoebox's - Thinking Under The 'BoxWritten by on March 1, 2009 Improving The Handling, Braking, And Ride Height Of The '49-53 Ford Shoebox With Jamco
Jamco Suspension is well known for suspension parts, be it dropped spindles and uprights, leaf springs, lowering blocks, or its modified '49-53 Ford Shoebox suspension that does away with the kingpins, replacing them with ball joints. The only problem with this arrangement was the downtime involved as you had to send your suspension arms to Jamco for them to be modified. The guys were aware of this and have addressed the situation with new tubular A-arms, developed exclusively for them by Classic Performance Products, so you know they're going to be first rate. We took the opportunity to drop by the CPP shop and watch as the first of the new Jamco suspension kits was installed on the company's R&D car.
What's great about the kit is it removes all that downtime; order the kit and change out your old suspension in a weekend and still have time to cut the lawn, as it's a bolt-in deal with no cutting or welding required, and the original steering can be retained, including the tie rods. The lower arms use original cross-shafts, while the uppers mount to a bracket that bolts to the stock cross-shaft holes and allows for more precise alignment. By switching to ball joints from the antiquated kingpin design, you'll benefit from better handling and improved steering, as well as better ride quality. The kit uses '75-80 Ford Granada spindles which lower the car 2 1/2 inches on their own, and coupled with lowered coil springs you can fine-tune the ride height up to 5 1/2 inches lower than stock.
While you can use the Granada disc brakes, Jamco also offers a big brake kit: 13-inch cross-drilled rotors on an anodized billet aluminum hub, with twin-piston PBR C15 calipers. The big brake kit requires 17-inch or larger wheels. However, it's the suspension installation we're interested in here, so let's get out into the shop.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here's the kit, which includes powdercoated upper and lower A-arms with ball joints installed, new coil springs in your choice of 1-, 2-, or 3-inch drop, new shocks matched to the coil length, and brackets to install the upper arms in the stock location. The new lower A-arms are also equipped to accept Shockwave airsprings. Also shown is the optional sway bar and mounts, a beefier 1 1/8-inch diameter compared to the stock 5/8-inch version.The '75-80 Granada spindles will lower the car 2 1/2 inches on their own, so coupled with dropped springs you can achieve a maximum 5 1/2-inch lowering over stock. The disc brakes are available in 5-on-4 1/2-inch bolt pattern only.The first step was to remove the stock A-arms, kingpins, and drum brakes. These can be removed as a single unit after disconnecting the tie rod, brake hose, sway bar, and removing the upper and lower A-arm mounting hardware. The use of the Granada spindles means you can retain the stock steering and tie rods, so they left those in place. The guys at CPP elected to install the new sway bar first, but this can be left to the end of the job also. The Jamco bracketry mounts the sway bar to the front crossmember/core support.The upper A-arm attached to the stock mounting holes using this substantial L-shaped bracket, allowing for easy alignment adjustment.With the A-arm in place, the mounting hardware was cinched up. Remember the alignment will need adjusting when you've finished so there's no need to tighten the bolts all the way down yet.The coil spring was next to be installed, and to ensure it was seated correctly, an adjustable jack stand was placed under the lower A-arm, enabling the spring to be compressed so the spindle could be fitted. You should use coil spring clamps or even a floor jack in place of the jack stand if you're tackling this job on the garage floor, without the luxury of a rack!Once the spring was compressed sufficiently, the spindle was installed on the ball joints. With the castle nuts in place on the ball joints, don't forget to install the cotter pins. These nuts can be tightened down as they don't affect the alignment.
The stock tie rod could then be bolted up to the new spindle. Again, remember the cotter pin once the nut is tightened. We're sure you'd clean your tie rod while the opportunity presented itself, but this is Jamco's R&D vehicle, and they were interested in assessing and installing the suspension rather than aesthetics!The last component to be installed was the new shock absorber, which mounted in exactly the same way as the stock item, from underneath and bolting through the chassis section. Actually the last component to be installed will be the sway bar link, which we haven't shown here! Viewed from underneath you can see what a tidy installation the new tubular arms make, with a huge improvement in handling, braking, and steering, as well as ride height. And best of all there's no cutting, drilling, or welding involved, and the whole frontend can be modified in a matter of hours. Now to tackle the other side.

Can one become addicted to tea like coffee addicts or smokers? I heard there are some common substances in tea and coffee, do they cause addiction?
Yes, both tea (black tea at least, English speakers usually mean black tea when they say tea anyway) and coffee have caffeine which is addictive.
Apparently, being able to correctly reply to this question involves defining the word "addiction". My guess is that the negative connotation of the word "addiction" will cause some pressure to not use it.
Here's a recent review on caffeine addiction that says that caffeine is not addictive. I do not agree with their arguments but I'll leave it to the reader to judge.
