2. | Granby | ||
A small, generally unkown, upper middle class town located in the farmington valley (CT), boarding towns including: east granby, simsbury, canton, barkhamsted, suffield, and southwick (MA). Granby includes West Granby and North Granby. The population is somewhere Granby is consistently highly ranked highly in academic performance. In 2009 Granby was tied in 9th place with Westport for CMT testing. It was also rated the 3rd best small town to live in (#1 Old Saybrook, #2 Weston). The population is about 11,000 people and a seemingly equal number of horses, goats and cows. Granby is possibly one of the most boring towns in Connecticut. Refusing many commercial businesses, the town remains an isolated, undeveloped, and relaxed environment. There are thousands of acres of nature preserve as well. Most residents tend to work in the insurance industry. The town is much like an undeveloped Simsbury or a more developed Suffield. Person: Where are you from?
Granby Person: Granby Person: Where is that? Granby Person: You know where that notch is on the north side of the state? Person: No... |
1. | Granby | ||
Noun. Podunk town mostly famous for being the notch in Connecticut and hometown of former MTV VJ Jesse Camp. Unofficially in a sports rivalry with the rest of the state, but namely Granby Junior. I done got edumacated in Granby.
3. | Granby | ||
A small town in Western Massachusetts. Its main exports are dairy and boredom, its main imports are assholes who come from Granby Connecticut. Stranger: Hi, where are you from!
Granby Resident: Granby. Stranger: Oh I know that place, I have a cousin who lives there! Resident: I meant Granby MA Stranger: Is it new? |
4. | granby | ||
Also known as "Cow-Town CT", this boring town has nothing to do in it. When told that someone lives in Granby, most people ask if you live on a farm. People from granby want to leave, and people around Granby don't want to go there, possibly the worst town in the state of CT Yeah, I've been cow tipping so many times.

From the "Are You Kidding Me?" file comes this doozy. A policy statement this week from the American Academy of Pediatrics is calling for the redesign of "high-risk" foods, such as the ever-dangerous hot dog, because they are choking hazards for young children.
The group also is now calling for warning labels on such foods, noting that such labels are federally mandated for toys that might lead to choking.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Aren't the warning labels on toys basically there to alert parents that the toy contains small pieces that a small child could choke on? I would consider that reasonable since, at first glance, it might be tough for a parent to know if a packaged toy has small pieces.
But when it comes to food, couldn't a child (or an adult for that matter) choke on virtually any type of food if the food isn't properly chewed?
Beyond that, I'm pretty fed up with these "groups" and the government assuming that all people are stupid and need to be told what to do every waking hour. I don't know about you, but I would say most parents are smart enough to know that certain food needs to be cut up into smaller pieces so that their child doesn't choke. And those that actually aren't smart enough to know that probably aren't smart enough to be able to read a warning label either.

The Old Deanery Site Goes Live
My mum runs a small hotel and restaurant located in the centre of Ripon, right opposite the Cathedral. It's a beautiful location and the hotel itself is very charming. Bronco are regular customers and have taken many friends and clients there over the years.
Dave and Becky very kindly offered to re-design the Old Deanery website – and today it went live. For those of you that have seen the old site, I think you will agree that it is a massive improvement on the old site, it looks better, it runs better and it's definitely setup for ranking for its key search terms.
I've already got Google Analytics on it and a Google Webmaster Tools account, and they are also running AdWords campaigns too. But the main thing I am setting up and hoping to have a play with over the coming months is Google Website Optimizer. I'm hoping to split test almost EVERYTHING – especially the copy, most people stick to the menu buttons etc. but I really want to have a play around and see how good I can get at copywriting.
Anyways, my mum is extremely happy with the new website, and you can check out her blog posts, including the post I wrote, Ripon Hotel Launches New Website, over on the news section of the new site.
Thanks also to Kean for the wonderful design, I think we all agree that he did a great job
It's not just the website that has had a massive improvement – allround the service, the look and feel of the place has improved. I wish we could get Paddy Burt back to review it again, I'm sure she would be even more pleased!

Speaking at a sparsely-attended luncheon in Fairbanks, AK on Friday, Senator Murkowski (R-AL) touted her failed effort to block the EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions as a 'badge of honor.' She went on to explain why she considered the maneuver, which went down by a 53-47 margin on June 10th, a qualified success. "We made our point. Forty-seven members of the Senate said they do not want to allow the agency to set climate change policy," she said.
As luck would have it, another institution has plans to 'set climate change policy' in the weeks ahead — the United States Senate. And fortunately for Senator Murkowski, as a United States Senator, she has the power to influence that process as it plays out. By all indications, Senator Murkowski should be a leading Republican in these negotiations. In response to the announcement of a new Climate Science Center at the University of Alaska earlier this year, she rightly called the state 'ground zero for climate change.' Last September Murkowski told reporters that Congress needs to work on climate change but should take its time considering options. And by all accounts, the Senate has done just that in the past nine months, trying and giving up on a variety of approaches deemed too controversial to attract significant Republican support.
But now there are a several proposals and a handful of standalone measures on the table. A group of seventeen Senators — which includes Senator Murkowski — will be meeting with President Obama Tuesday to discuss a path forward. Majority Leader Reid has indicated he'll be moving the legislation immediately after July recess.
If Senator Murkowski intends to play a constructive role in this process, her opportunity is now. Robert Dillon, a spokesman for Senator Murkowski, claims she intends to play such a role, citing her support of Senator Lugar's energy legislation. According to Dillon, Murkowski supports "Sen. Lugar's latest efforts to address climate." Perhaps sensing the angle I was pursuing, he added, "so any accusation that she opposes dealing with emissions is completely false."

In this fresh and creative musical, author and composer make available a more comprehensive range of biblical images, celebrating both God and humanity in language that has been too long neglected. In doing so, they have helped to prepare the children who perform it and the audiences who attend it for greater appreciation and understanding of the images they will encounter in much new hymnody.
read moreA typical interpretation when reading the Book of Revelation is John's attempt to answer the interminable question: How exactly will God, once and for all, set things right? When will the "sorrow and weeping be no more," and the "tear wiped from every eye?" After reinterpreting over and over again the imminent end that has been repeatedly put on indefinite hold, it merely begs the question, why the postponement?
When Revelation is instead understood to be political commentary spun in the form of a fantastic allegorical tale that can be reinterpreted and applied again and again, the question in each succeeding era has more to do with asking the question: Who is the Whore of Babylon, and all she represents? How can we be so easily seduced? And have the words and life of the Galilean sage been lost, even from the time John had his nightmarish vision to our own succumbing today? Read more.

Like understanding an often contradictory Bible? Then meet CLEAR FAITH. Clear away those stumbling blocks to uncover a faith of your own that makes sense. Meet the Jesus we can truly call "brother." By seeing with new eyes, through a clear lens, we can experience and live with a simple, straightforward faith that is globally inclusive, open, and compatible with a progressive, scientific worldview.

Our prison in Guantanamo Bay, Gitmo, is an example of power run amok. Like the Biblical narrative about the Tower of Babel, our faith tradition is rich in anti-empire imagery assuring the faith community that God holds the hubris of empire in contempt. Nations are never really that good as estimating their relative importance in the world. Like the Hebrews when our nation began, we had a fresh memory of what it was like to be bullied by an empire. We sought to create a nation whose moral force was much larger than our military force.

No wonder Greece is in trouble.. everyone there has been getting paid for 13 months while working 10. Now the rest of us get to pick up the tab.
Which countries give employees the most generous holidays?
WHEN considering the amount of holiday each employee is entitled to in any particular country, some clichés hold good. North Americans are more industrious than South Americans, according to data compiled by Mercer, a consultancy. Asians work harder than Europeans. Among the feckless workers from the old continent, those in the troubled economies of Greece, Spain and Portugal have among the most generous holiday allowances. Take a look at this videographic for more detail.

Rockefeller introduces bill to limit online tracking
Sens. Jay Rockfeller (D-W.Va.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) introduced legislation on Thursday that would give Internet users the right to opt out of online tracking.
The Do Not Track Online Act would instruct the Federal Trade Commission to issue regulations requiring online companies to honor a user's request not to have information collected about their online activities. The FTC and state attorneys general would have authority to penalize companies that violate the request.
"Online companies are collecting massive amounts of information, often without consumers' knowledge or consent," Rockefeller, the chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, said in a statement. "Consumers should be empowered to make their own decision about whether their information can be tracked and used online."
Rockefeller first introduced Do Not Track legislation in 2011. At a White House event in early 2012, a coalition of Internet companies said they would work together to voluntarily implement a Do Not Track option for users.
Talks between advertisers, browser makers and other Internet companies have stalled, and more than a year after the announcement, there is still no functional way for users to block online tracking.
"Industry stood at the White House and made a public pledge to honor do-not-track requests, but has since failed to live up to that commitment," Rockefeller said. "My bill gives consumers the opportunity to simply say 'no thank you' to anyone and everyone collecting their online information. Period."
Advertisers argue that tracking users' online activities allows them to deliver more useful and valuable ads. They claim that tracking is necessary to support many popular free online services.

Monitoring your PV system may have muchbroader benefits than maximizing the poweroutput of your individual PV system. Monitor-ing systems collectively across an entire stateor regional program can assist policymakers inassessing how well these systems actually per-form in different locations. These data are usedto answer a number of questions:• Is the program meeting its objective ofusing incentives to encourage optimal systemperformance?
•;To;what;extent;are;solar;systems;connected to the electrical grid contributing to peak load and greenhouse gas reductions?
•;How;does;solar;system;performance;vary geographically?
•;What;is;the;effect;of;solar;installations;on the electrical grid?
Two large PV incentive programs in California collect data (including system performance monitoring data) to answer the above questions: the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) and the California Solar Initiative (CSI).
The SGIP was established in 2001 as a response to the peak demand challenges facing California at that time. Under this program, 880 PV systems were installed from 2001 to 2006, totaling nearly 133 megawatts of aC (M WaC) of generating capacity. During that timeframe, PV system output information was collected in 15-minute intervals, providing an opportunity to evaluate the impacts of degradation, soiling and material type on PV system output. The SGIP Eighth-year Impact Evaluation Final Report showed that the degradation rate of flat-installation PV systems was greater than the degradation rate of tilted PV systems. That likely is due to a range of factors including weather, maintenance/reliability issues and location. This information is valuable not only to program administrators who design the incentive programs to increase output and system reliability, but also to individual PV owners and manufacturers who want to maximize the output of their PV systems over the systems' lives. (Itron Inc. "CPUC Self-Generation Incentive Program Eighth-year Impacts Evaluation: Final Report." Submitted to Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and the Self-Generation Incentive Program Working Group. June 2009).
Effective Jan. 1, 2007, incentive funding forPV systems was moved to the CSI. Similar toSGIP, the CSI provides incentives to reducethe cost of systems installed in California. as ofmid-February 2010, nearly 27,000 systems total-ing more than 300 MWaC of capacity had beenmore data being tracked or more features offered(such as storage), the more expensive the systemwill be. The monitoring cost can vary from zero,for inverter and web-based systems offered bysome larger installers or manually recording yourown inverter data, to $10,000-plus for the mostsophisticated systems. To determine what typeof monitoring system is best for your needs, youwill want to answer the following questions:• What parameters are you interested inmonitoring? Typical parameters may include,but are not limited to, power output, solar irra-diance, ambient temperature, wind speed andpower consumption.
installed under this program.
The CSI offers two types of incentives: the Performance-Based Incentive (PBI), which pays per kilowatt-hour produced for the first five years, and the Expected Performance-Based Buydown
Performance monitoring for a large number of systems allows regulators and policymakers to structure incentives and programs to achieve the desired results and performance.
(EPBB), which provides a one-time payment after the system is installed. The amount of the EPBB payment is based on what the system is expected to produce. Monitoring is required for the PBI since the incentive is directly linked to actual system performance. For the EPBB incentive, with its lump-sum payment, system monitoring allows owners and policymakers to ensure that appropriate incentives are being paid.
Figure 3 on page 50 compares how CSI systems that receive a PBI compare to those that received a lump-sum payment (EPBB). This graph is drawn only from 2008 data and may be skewed downward due to the large number of systems that came online in the latter part of 2008. although the data do not show statistical differences (the confidence intervals overlap), they do indicate that the average system receiving a PBI may outperform the average system receiving an EPBB.
Performance monitoring for a large number of systems allows regulators and policymakers to structure incentives and programs to achieve the desired results and performance. In the future, one policy lever that may help ensure optimum PV performance is tying incentives to actual PV performance or requiring regular PV system maintenance. Owners already have a financial incentive to maintain their systems to optimize energy, but enforcing that could help advance PV market development. ST

Credit Card Points
Airline Miles
Hotel Points
Air Canada Aeroplan – 1.3 cents/mile
In November I valued Aeroplan miles at 1.5 cents each, which was already after their huge devaluation, though I think their value has gone down even further. Since then Lufthansa has full-on stopped releasing first class award space more than a couple of weeks before departure, eliminating quite a few redemption opportunities in advance. Furthermore, fuel surcharges have continued to rise as oil prices continue to increase, so the cost of redeeming Aeroplan awards keeps going up.
Best credit card(s) for earning Air Canada Aeroplan miles: Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Personal Card and Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Business Card, which offer one SPG point per dollar spent on all purchases, and two SPG points per dollar spent at SPG properties. Points can be transferred to Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio, and for every 20,000 points transferred you get a 5,000 point bonus, meaning you're essentially earning 1.25 Aeroplan miles per dollar spent.
Alaska Mileage Plan – 1.5 cents/mile
In November I valued Alaska miles at 1.4 cents each. In absolute terms I don't think the miles have appreciated one bit, since the program has more or less remained the same. I do, however, think the miles have relatively appreciated, given that they partner with Cathay Pacific, which is one of the few airlines that continues to generously release transpacific award space.
Later this year it should be possible to redeem Alaska miles for travel on Emirates, so if that award chart looks good their miles could appreciate even further.
The thing preventing Alaska miles from being more valuable is that they don't let you mix partners on an award ticket. While they have tons of partners, they don't let you mix and match their partners on award tickets, which is a real challenge for many destinations. So my valuation of Alaska miles is based almost exclusively on the ease with which one can redeem for travel on Cathay Pacific.
Best credit card(s) for earning Alaska Mileage Plan miles: Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Personal Card and Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Business Card, which offer one SPG point per dollar spent on all purchases, and two SPG points per dollar spent at SPG properties. Points can be transferred to Mileage Plan at a 1:1 ratio, and for every 20,000 points transferred you get a 5,000 point bonus, meaning you're essentially earning 1.25 Mileage Plan miles per dollar spent.
American AAdvantage – 1.8 cents/mile
American miles have consistently been increasing in value for me over the past couple of years. I even made a post about it recently. Lately American has overtaken United, in my opinion, when it comes to the ease with which one can redeem for international first class award tickets.
Last year American launched a partnership with Etihad, which has a solid first class product and excellent award availability to the Middle East and India. Cathay Pacific continues to have phenomenal first and business class award availability, releasing two first class award seats on many routes. Furthermore, at 135,000 American miles roundtrip it's one of the most economical ways to get to Southeast Asia.
United miles are still more valuable for travel to Europe, though not by a huge margin anymore, ever since Lufthansa stopped releasing first class award space in advance.
So for me it has gotten to the point where American miles are as valuable as United miles, which is a first.
Best credit card(s) for earning American AAdvantage miles: Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Personal Card and Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Business Card, which offer one SPG point per dollar spent on all purchases, and two SPG points per dollar spent at SPG properties. Points can be transferred to AAdvantage at a 1:1 ratio, and for every 20,000 points transferred you get a 5,000 point bonus, meaning you're essentially earning 1.25 AAdvantage miles per dollar spent.
British Airways Executive Club – 1.1 cents/Avios
Previously I valued British Airways Avios at 1.3 cents each, and obviously they have gone down substantially in value since then due to their award chart devaluation. That being said, there are still some great redemption opportunities using British Airways Avios, in particular for shorthaul flights in coach or business class, where you can get a roundtrip for as few as 9,000 Avios. So while it's far from my favorite program, there is still some value in the program.
Best credit card(s) for earning British Airways Avios points: British Airways Visa Card, which offers 1.25 British Airways Avios points per dollar spent. For more flexibility the Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Personal Card and Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Business Card are also good, given that they offer one SPG point per dollar spent on all purchases, and two SPG points per dollar spent at SPG properties. Points can be transferred to British Airways at a 1:1 ratio, and for every 20,000 points transferred you get a 5,000 point bonus, meaning you're essentially earning 1.25 Avios points per dollar spent. Lastly, another great option is the American Express Premier Rewards Gold Card, which offers 3x points on airfare, 2x points on gas and groceries, and 15,000 bonus points for any year in which you spend $30,000 on the card. Points can be transferred 1:1 to British Airways.
Delta SkyMiles – 1.1 cents/mile
I'm torn on this one, since I feel like I need to lower my valuation of Delta SkyMiles, given that I valued them at 1.1 cents per mile last November.
Since then Virgin Australia (one of their more useful partners) has just about completely stopped releasing business class award space. Furthermore, Air France has drastically reduced the amount of business class award space they release. And it really is a drastic change, since routes that were previously available almost every day hardly have any availability anymore.
But still, I can't bring myself to value them at less than 1.1 cents each. At the end of the day there's still some Air France transatlantic business class award space out there for 100,000 SkyMiles roundtrip, and I can't value a business class award at less than $1,100 plus tax. And the decrease in Air France transatlantic award availability isn't all that different than what we've seen with Lufthansa lately.
Also, a reader recently pointing out to me that Delta miles can at least easily be used for travel to South America does make them a bit more valuable, in my opinion.
Best credit card(s) for earning Delta SkyMiles: American Express Premier Rewards Gold Card, which offers 3x points on airfare, 2x points on gas and groceries, and 15,000 bonus points for any year in which you spend $30,000 on the card. Points can be transferred 1:1 to Delta SkyMiles.
United MileagePlus – 1.8 cents/mile
Nothing has really changed with MileagePlus since November, so you're probably wondering why my valuation of United miles has gone down by 0.2 cents per point.
Unfortunately it's because premium cabin award space isn't even nearly as good as it used to be. Ever since Lufthansa stopped releasing first class award space to partner airlines more than a couple of weeks before departure, the transatlantic and transpacific options in first class really are limited.
The saving grace with United miles are twofold:
a) Changes are cheap, at most $75
b) United lets you make changes close to departure and after travel commences, meaning if you're willing to wait you can still pull off "masterpiece" awards.
Still, it's not quite as fun as it used to be.
Best credit card(s) for earning Mileage Plus miles: Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, which offers double points on dining and travel and a 7% annual points dividend, and the Chase Ink Bold Business Card, which offers 5x points on office supply stores and 2x points on gas and hotels, which can be transferred 1:1 to United. Alternatively the United Club Card earns 1.5 miles per dollar spent and offers lounge access, though comes with a hefty annual fee.
US Airways Dividend Miles – 1.5 cents/mile
In November I valued US Airways miles at 1.7 cents each, so much like the above the decrease in value accounts for the lack of premium cabin award space in advance, in particular on Lufthansa. The added challenge with US Airways is that they charge $150 for any ticket changes, and don't allow any changes once travel commences.
So basically US Airways is great to the extent that you can book a first class award from the US to North Asia for only 120,000 miles, though it can be nearly impossible to maximize like I did in December.
Their off peak awards are also a fantastic value.
Best credit card(s) for earning US Airways Dividend miles: Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Personal Card and Starwood Preferred Guest American Express Business Card, which offer one SPG point per dollar spent on all purchases, and two SPG points per dollar spent at SPG properties. Points can be transferred to Dividend Miles at a 1:1 ratio, and for every 20,000 points transferred you get a 5,000 point bonus, meaning you're essentially earning 1.25 Dividend Miles per dollar spent. Sometimes they even offer substantial bonuses for points transfers from SPG.

Go look at the fleet plans for CX, LH, AA. They're all going to take F seats out of the market. (Of note: they are all also improving their C/J product, and LH especially has loads of C award inventory. This is important.)
I have to think that UA is next, given their service harmonization on GlobalFirst/BusinessFirst.
So, with less F and better C, maybe we'll all just have to get used to our miles buying us lie-flat seats and mediocre red wine as opposed to caviar and champagne.

Amex MR rewards transfers to BA. So I would say one of the best way to accrue avios is through the Amex premier rewards gold card, which you left out.
Also, do you take in to account the ease of earning points in the different programs. For example: you basically earn AA points from credit cards at a 1:1 spend ratio. But you can easily earn BA points at a 2:1 spend ratio with the AMEX premier rewards gold card.

JetsettingEric said,
I'm really confused at why you value US Airways miles significantly less than United Miles. The availability issues are the same (same alliance). The redemption charts are generally the same, with the anomalies in favor of US dividend miles over UA Mileage Plus being North Asia in F and J and USA domestic 3 class first, which prices ps first as 50k for US and 70k for UA. You're also noted the flexibility in the routing rules at US before.
The drawbacks for US are the lack of 1 way awards and no changes post departure. That is less of an issue for top tier elites as you get free redeposit of miles. Although UA changes are capped at $75, the redeposit of miles $150 for non-elites.
A more generous reward chart, routing rules should somewhat balance out the lack of 1 ways and potentially higher change fees. I'd value them at the same rate.
However, at 1.2 US miles per 1 UA mile, I'm happy to exchange all my UA miles for US miles at that rate.

@ eponymous coward — My biggest fear with airlines eliminating first class is that for the most part, airlines don't release as much business class award space as they release first class award space, since they actually sell business class. So it's scary to think that we'll not only lose first class, but airlines also may not release business class space.
@ JohnnieD — See this post for details on how to search award space on AR:
http://boardingarea.com/blogs/onemileatatime/2012/04/14/using-delta-skymiles-for-travel-to-south-america-on-aeromexico/@ Peetyrd — Excellent point, I'll update the post regarding the PRG. As far as earning multiple points per dollar goes, you're absolutely right, though my analysis was based on the value of each individual mile. Hopefully everyone can do the math themselves as to which currency is most valuable when they factor in earning multiple points per dollar.
@ lamonster — Alaska has access to the same "low" level business class award space that Delta gives their own members, which is very tough to come by, in my experience.
May 28th, 2012 at 11:10 am
lucky said,
@ JetsettingEric — My valuation of US/UA miles is actually one of my more "confident" valuations. The advantages of United miles over US Airways miles:
– Stopover AND open jaw vs. just a stopover at a Star Alliance hub
– No blocking of Lufthansa and Swiss, while US Airways blocks almost all first class space on Lufthansa
– Higher change fees
– No changes after departure. Even if you're top tier elite, it sucks because airlines often only release award space within a week or so of departure, so if you plan a longer trip you're hosed.
– United has VERY generous "published" routing rules where the computer auto-prices, while with US Airways it all comes down to the agent.Just my two cents…

Has anyone but me noticed that AA upper cabin award space US to LHR has virtually disappeared since BA awards were added to the AA website? While there may be a few single seats available, there are no two-or-more seats per flight available in either First or Business.
Today I searched LAX, DFW, ORD, and JFK to LHR, without finding a pair of premium seats anytime from today to the end of the booking period 10 months out. And it's been that way for the past several months.
Is the new AA policy "let them fly BA"?
Basically making us all pay fuel surchages, without making surcharges a part of the official policy? I'm already booked FC to LHR and back this August/September, booked last October when there was still award space 10 months out. But I'm beginning to wonder if I should bother getting any more AA miles for future Europe flights, as I'm not about to pay $1600 in "surchages" for "free" tickets….
May 28th, 2012 at 11:34 am
eponymous coward said,
That's a good point, Lucky. That being said, LH generally seems to have pretty good C award availability, which makes sense if you look at how they configure their cabins:
CX: 38 or 39J/223Y or 203 Y+/YA343:
LH: 8F/52 or 80(!)C/310 or 234Y
UA: 12F/52C/310YNow, granted, LH can probably price those C cabins to sell if they want to more than they can price F to sell (since a lowball F price really damages their C pricing), but I think it's pretty clear than LH has a very high premium cabin to coach ratio that invites the sort of spoilage during "soft" travel periods that leads to reasonable award inventory.
That being said, if all the airlines turn into Delta, we're ****ed.

Hey, AA is doing that now too. I just looked up ORD and JFK to LHR for TODAY. There are two flights out of each today, with 16 FC seats per plane, and an average of only 4 seats booked per plane.
Out of 64 FC seats, 43 are empty. And yet not a single seat is available for an award ticket.
Of course, everyone of those empty seats actually is available for award ticketing. But only at the double miles required Anytime award level. So maybe it's just an award "devaluation", where they are eliminating MileSaver awards. And we now have to spend 125K miles each way, instead of RT. :>(

I'm slightly mystified as to how an Ultimate Reward point is worth 1.9 but a MP point is 1.8 given that Hyatt is 1.6 and that's the second most valuable transfer partner.
Also, UA charges nothing for changes if one golden upper tier elite or has the MP Club credit card. Also, LH, LX, NH and TG are almost without fail always available, you just have to wait for them, which UA and no other program let's you do so easily. Let's not forget the complete willingness of ex-Cons to forgo MPM, making NYC-TYO-BKK-SYD-AKL an allowed reward. You also fail to mention QR's recent Integration into the award chart and their near universal availability. I'd argue QR is a better airline than EY, esp. when the new airport opens.
AA points are less valuable because OW is fundamentally less extensive of an alliance, given that BA is the majority of their European system and YQ is sky high. EY is not all that great, according to your review, and only works if you want to connect in the Middle East. I don't know what AA is paying you, but it's not enough I think you may be the only one out their calling AA points on par with MP. -

And while I don't mind planning last minute, for 99% of people booking a Lufthansa or Swiss first class award within a week of departure just isn't practical. Compare that to American where you can easily snag a first class award in advance.

Doesn't the 50% devaluation of AA miles, by the disappearance of the MileSaver premium award, affect your valuation of AA miles? As a Lifetime Gold with AA, it sure affects my valuation of AA miles.
Or do you expect this drought of AA MileSaver awards to be short-lived?

Dan said,
FWIW, I don't really care that much about F availability. (That is, until I have my first CX F experience this fall.) My wife and I plan trips to destinations we actually want to go to, so as long as I don't have to fly coach, I'm happy. J really is good enough for me, although I will fly F on occasion.
So, while I think you are correct to knock UA because of decreasing LH F availability, you probably shouldn't knock them too hard. Likewise, you probably shouldn't give AA too much of a bump solely because of CX F.
That said, I think it's hard to come up with a generalized value for a particular currency — it depends on where you want to go, what class of travel you want, and how much fuel surcharges and fees matter. I can't tell you whether AA or UA miles in general are worth more. If I'm going to Europe, I'd give the edge to UA. If I want to go to Asia but don't care about F, who gets the edge? Going to South America, AA probably gets the edge.
But all of this is somewhat moot, because as noted above with earning bonuses, if I'm earning 5 UA points/$ on just about all of my spend, that dwarfs the instances where AA might beat UA by a fraction of a penny.

@lucky does that mean that an elite's who doesnt mind last minute planning MP point is worth 1.9, 2.0 or greater? As for AA, I rarely see sAAver awards in F, even day of departure and any award to Europe on BA has a hefty YQ which really negates a ton of the value of the award chart. I fail to see the value there. For Asia, sure, but not for Europe.

AA>UA (should be) simply because at least with AA you can get F to Asia and Europe fairly easily and you can book in advance.

How convenient for AA. They get to essentially devalue their points by 50% for European travel on AA metal. Which I'm guessing way outdraws AA Asian partner award travel, {except for Lucky}
While at the same time they can issue a press release that they have increased available award bookings by some huge percentage, now that BA is on their website. And just not bother to mention the $1000 pp fuel surcharge/British tax package that goes with all of those "increased" potential bookings. Nor the fact that they get to share that fuel surcharge with BA…
With UA partners going to last minute bookings, which as Lucky so correctly points out isn't going to work for leisure travelers like myself who are used to spending a month of pre-booked hotels, and hard to get restaurant reservations, in 5 or 6 European countries per trip….
And AA turning virtually free tickets into $1,000 pp trips….
This is starting to look like the beginning of the end of free award {yes, US to Eu} travel for us ordinary people. CEOs with millions of miles in their accounts from expensed travel won't be affected, of course. They can just book Anytime awards. Which fits right in with the new emphasis on favoring revenue passengers over long term loyalty passengers.
I've had a good run for quite some time, but I'm still sorry to see it end. Sigh…..

It would be helpful to put your values in context if you explained the methodology of how you arrived at them. Different people use miles for different things. For example, my personal rule of thumb is $600 per 25,000 UA miles (and I always think of it that way, not $0.024/mile), because my most common use is for Canada-US trips that would otherwise cost at least this much (and frequently much more).

Searching award availability to AMS/CDG/BCN for spring of next year (just for fun) and there is NOTHING on AA at AA saver rates. Plenty of BA. If that trend continues, you're going to have to knock AA down a few pegs below UA. There's no way CX F is enough to counter balance AA's decision to not load any saver inventory at the J/F levels to Europe.

@ Dan — There's no doubt that there's a trend whereby American is releasing a LOT less award availability on their own metal. They were overly-generous in the past, and are now taking the opposite approach. But still, the fact remains that American miles are more useful for South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. United has a huge advantage to Europe and Africa, but that's about it, in my opinion.

However, with Asia, if your deciding vote is because of CX F, well, I won't change your mind. For me, I think the edge goes to UA. UA's stop-over + generous award routing rules really add a lot… you can route via Europe OR Asia, each way getting access to many partners. Throw in a stopover, and you're golden. AA, OTOH, will only let you route across the Pacific, and gives you no stopovers internationally. I don't think CX F is enough to overcome that and declare AA a clear winner.
With the Middle East, well, UA has Qatar, albeit no F from the USA. EY, OTOH, is an AA partner, but not a one-world partner, so can't be used on a distance based award.

I think BA miles have real value for those of us needing the short haul flights. I am in Dallas and just booked 4 (my family) tickets to PNS for 36,000 points. That airfare would have cost my $2,198 (booked one week in advance). Very valuable points redemption for me!

I agree with Lee on BA miles. You seem overly-centered on Biz and First Class. But with BA, you can get just as good value per mile in economy, or better, than a Biz/First ticket on AA or UA. For instance, I've flown DFW to SAF and Aspen on multiple trips for only 9,000 miles RT. The tickets always cost at least $500, usually $600 – that's 5.5 to 6.5 c per mile. And, BA doesn't charge last minute award fees (unlike AA), which is a huge benefit for people who want truly "free" award tickets.

Jimbo2012 said,
I can also fly first-class with BA Avios to Cancun, Cabo, etc. for only 30k miles RT; it would cost me 60k AAdvantage miles – so, basically 2 for 1! Admittedly, on longer-haul flights, BA Avios lose value, but for most people with families, saving on "real" travel (not aspirational Cathay first class to Bora Bora) is probably more important.
But I guess this just shows how subjective mile valuations can be; because my home airport is DFW, I value BA Avios at 2 – 3c.

@ Jimbo2012 — You're absolutely right, for shorthaul awards the miles are incredibly valuable. Unfortunately for longhaul awards their chart isn't just more expensive, but they also impose massive fuel surcharges.

Hi lucky, I meant I have a promotion that I can buy 1000 miles from AA for 1$. It meant I will pay 1 cent to buy 1 mile from AA. In other word, 1000 miles = 10$
In addition, my brother got a better promotion from AA. He can buy 1 mile from AA for only 0.80 cent. In other hand, 1000 miles = 8$
Do you think should my brother and I get this offer or not? is it bad or good deal? is it worth to buy? Thank you very much for your help. My brother and I will not have any plan flying anywhere in 5 years. We are collecting miles for after 5 years.

8 Odds and Ends at the New York Auto Show
Strange gearshift knobs, a lame Bugatti and a $400,000 Sprinter van.
By now, you've probably seen all the debuts from the 2012 New York International Auto Show. Here are some of our obscure observations and strange cars we found that shouldn't be missed.
Ignoring the Bugatti Veyron
Why is the world's fastest and most powerful production car ever made stuck in a corner, with no one watching? It's not because journalists get jaded by speed and power (they do). It's Bugatti's fault for making one of about a dozen special editions that all blend into the same car. But while this Veyron Blanc Noir, apparently made for a single customer two years ago, faces the wall in time-out, everyone else was drooling over the SRT Viper. Absolutely no one was in the way while I took the picture above. Go America!
Uncle Sam Does a Donk
There are always a few off-color rides tucked in the basement of the Javits Center. When I stumbled upon this low-riding, big-rimmed 1973 Impala, I thought it belonged to one of the show workers -- certainly not the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency uses the big Chevy, one of the first cars to feature an airbag, to promote its crash-test website at shows and shopping malls. It's even modern, with headrests, three-point seatbelts, disc brakes and fuel injection. There are nice, friendly U.S. government plates and no door handles.
Kizashi Taste Test
Suzuki is better known for its ATVs and fast bikes. But the company does make cars, and to prove it, they've glued steering wheels, doors panels and various interior trim pieces on a white backboard, science fair-style. Unmarked bits from Mercedes and Audi models are mixed in with those from the Kizashi sedan, and if you don't know any of these cars, it's a very good game. And yes, the Suzuki parts are pretty darn good.
Tantric and Tricky Knobs
Rihanna's core values, sadism and masochism, weren't on my mind until I felt the studded gearshift knob in a Chrysler 300. I'm not sure what else men's clothing designer John Varvatos had in mind here with this black-on-black sedan.
The knob in the Scion FR-S was a shifty one, in the sense that it tricked me into believing it was a manual.
Matte Paint
Matte paint is steadily becoming the new LED accent lighting. I counted 10 cars at the show with dull finishes, including a stunning blue Audi R8 GT Spyder and the sexy AMG-like Hyundai Veloster Turbo, above.
Locked For Your Safety
On media days, nearly every car not on a high turntable is open for seating. Not so the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, the car that's supposed to transform Lincoln's entire image, nor the 2013 Ford Fusion, which had a sticker warning against dangerous interiors. The Dodge Darts were also hands-off.
Old Range Fits Right In
This pristine 1987 Range Rover was the first model year that the famous luxury SUV rolled into America and forever changed suburban parking lots. It's now 25 years old and just as distinguishable. Earlier in the week, Land Rover drove it through a makeshift off-road course, which the automaker created by pouring 50 trucks worth of dirt onto a Manhattan parking lot.
The $400,000 Conversion Van
Conversion vans, at least those based on GM products, compete in a slim market these days. But apparently not so for the Becker JetVan, a $400,000 Mercedes Sprinter built to private-jet specifications. I got yelled at for trying to close the window blinds – they're powered, as is nearly everything on this rig (the maple tray tables you actually have to pull out yourself -- my word). Noise insulation from private jets, leather from private jets and big TVs from private jets are all included. (As I've never been on a private jet, so I'll take company President Howard Becker at his word).
Cars are cool, and here at MSN Autos we love everything about them, but we also know they're more than simply speed and style: a car is an essential tool, a much-needed accessory to help you get through your day-to-day life. What you drive is also one of the most important investments you can make, so we'll help you navigate your way through the car buying and ownership experiences. We strive to be your daily destination for news, notes, tips and tricks from across the automotive world. So whether it's through original content from our world-class journalists or the latest buzz from the far corners of the Web, Exhaust Notes helps you make sense of your automotive world.

derstanding of the parent's illness at both the fourth and sixth assessment points. Young people whose parents changed the most in response to the intervention had increased the most in understanding their parents' illness. Thus, it was possible to increase understanding through preventive intervention. Others note variability in adolescent children's coping with maternal depression (Klimes-Dougan and Bolger, 1998). For example, children whose mothers' depression is associated with more anger and irritability cope differently than others, boys differ from girls, and, even within families, siblings differ in how they cope with the mother's depression.
Beginning with studies of infants, researchers have identified problems in interpersonal functioning associated with depression in mothers. Field (1992) has shown that infants (1) match the negative affective expressions of their mothers when in face-to-face interaction with them, (2) look "depressed," and (3) generalize these styles to the infants' interactions with others. She has also found that infants of depressed mothers whose interaction style is characterized as withdrawn have poorer interactive qualities than those whose style is characterized as intrusive (Jones et al., 1997b). In multiple publications since the early 1980s, Tronick and Cohn have illuminated the nature of infants' responses to face-to-face interaction with mothers who are depressed (Cohn and Tronick, 1983; Cohn et al., 1986). Among their more recent papers, they show that higher symptom levels in mothers and the infants' being male contributed to lower quality mother-infant interactions (Weinberg et al., 2006).
Murray has studied infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children interacting with their depressed mothers. Although some of the studies controlled for other variables, such as conflict in the home, she found that the depression in mothers still accounted for the children's quality of interaction (Murray and Trevarthen, 1986; Murray et al., 1996b, 1999).
Studies of young children interacting with their depressed mothers, best illustrated by the work of Radke-Yarrow and colleagues, revealed that children whose mothers have been depressed engage in excessive compliance, excessive anxiety, and disruptive behavior that, when the children were followed into adolescence, were found to persist over time (Radke-Yarrow, 1998).
Among the few studies of peer interactions, sons but not daughters of depressed mothers were found to display more aggressive behavior during interactions with friends (Hipwell et al., 2005). Kindergarten-age children whose mothers were depressed were more often excluded by peers (Cummings, Keller, and Davies, 2005). The latter effect was mediated by the children's exposure to interparental conflict. Adolescent children of

Context. PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T_(eff) ≃ 140 000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG 1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-035 photometric data obtained with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) showed a rich frequency spectrum allowing the identification of 122 pulsation modes. Analyzing the periods of pulsation, it is possible to measure the stellar mass, the rotational period and the inclination of the rotation axis, to estimate an upper limit for the magnetic field, and even to obtain information about the inner stratification of the star. Aims. We have three principal aims: to increase the number of detected and identified pulsation modes in PG 1159-035, study trapping of the star's pulsation modes, and to improve or constrain the determination of stellar parameters. Methods. We used all available WET photometric data from 1983, 1985, 1989, 1993 and 2002 to identify the pulsation periods. Results. We identified 76 additional pulsation modes, increasing to 198 the number of known pulsation modes in PG 1159-035, the largest number of modes detected in any star besides the Sun. From the period spacing we estimated a mass M/M_⊙ = 0.59 ± 0.02 for PG 1159-035, with the uncertainty dominated by the models, not the observation. Deviations in the regular period spacing suggest that some of the pulsation modes are trapped, even though the star is a pre-white dwarf and the gravitational settling is ongoing. The position of the transition zone that causes the mode trapping was calculated at r_c/R_* = 0.83 ± 0.05. From the multiplet splitting, we calculated the rotational period P_(rot) = 1.3920 ± 0.0008 days and an upper limit for the magnetic field, B < 2000 G. The total power of the pulsation modes at the stellar surface changed less than 30% for ℓ = 1 modes and less than 50% for ℓ = 2 modes. We find no evidence of linear combinations between the 198 pulsation mode frequencies. PG 1159-035 models have not significative convection zones, supporting the hypothesis that nonlinearity arises in the convection zones in cooler pulsating white dwarf stars.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A New York father has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for beating his 10-year-old stepson to death with a rolling pin.
A jury in Buffalo last month convicted Ali-Mohamed Mohamud of second-degree murder. He was sentenced in state Supreme Court on Thursday.
Prosecutors say Mohamud shattered Abdifatah Mohamud's skull with nearly 70 blows from a rolling pin after gagging the boy with a sock and duct tape and binding his hands with an electrical cord.
The child's mother was at work at the time, cleaning offices in Buffalo.
Mohamud's lawyers claimed at his trial that he was just trying to get the child to do homework and didn't mean to kill him.

SFMTA home > Transit > Updates > Transbay Temporary Terminal Service | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UpdateEffective July 16, 2011, the following stops are changed for routes 38, 38L, 71 and 71L.
This change is not yet reflected on the official Muni map. About Transbay Temporary Terminal ServiceDue to the closing of the Transbay Terminal for construction and the opening of the Transbay Temporary Terminal on the block bordered by Howard, Main, Folsom and Beale, some Muni routes have changed to serve the temporary terminal. This change is reflected on official Muni maps. Bus stop locationsBus stop islandsThere are two new bus stop islands, one on southwest-bound Beale (logical southbound) after crossing Howard and one on northwest-bound Main (logical northbound) before crossing Howard. Both islands are closer to the Transbay Temporary Terminal than to the other side of the street. The islands afford customers the least street-crossing distance to the Transbay Temporary Terminal. Bus stop listIf you think of numbered streets in South of Market (SoMa) as running north-south, please read this page about logical directions.
More specific information about Muni stop locations is available through the San Francisco 311 Customer Service Center. Note: Muni vehicles stop only at existing marked Muni stops. Reroutes over streets not normally served by Muni will operate non-stop over those streets. Exceptions to this policy, if any, would be noted above as "temporary stop." Note: All times shown on this page are for expected effects on Muni service, not for the event or activity itself. Events or activities may start or end earlier or later than the times shown. All times are subject to change based on actual conditions. Reroutes may be added, removed or changed, also based on actual conditions.
