I need to make a small trip from BKK-SIN in a few weeks and I think I will book a C or F ticket. Paying the ticket in THB (Thailand Baht) the cost is not that high for a two hours flight. Can be an experience.

But I have some questions I hope someone can answer:

1. The one daily SQ B744 service - is this fitted with International First Class and Raffles Space bed? The B777 offers "only" regional F and C seats.

CX uses their B744 with intercont seats. How is the lounge standard at BKK for SQ and CX?

I also have LX as an option. I have a SAS EuroBonus FQTV card so I think I will use a Star Alliance airline if not CX is outstanding..

WHY on EARTH would you fly BKK-SIN first class? I've flown it many times, always J or Y class. It is so SHORT! NOT worth the dosh unless you're seriously loaded. First - go SQ. Business, why do you need a space bed on this very short route? Get over it. Just fly Y class.

Geez, give the guy a break. What concern is it of yours which class he wants to fly? He asked for opinions regarding the seats and airlines not your permission.

I reckon SQ First is definitely worth the try, just to experience it  Smile

Ok. POINT taken, I was was a little light on the humour factor. Apologies.
I've never seen the point in doing the trappings on such a short sector.... that's not to stop someone else enjoying them. And SQ would be my choice as well!

BW from LHR-ANU - expect long lines at check-in (go as early as possible - 3 hours before departure). Once on board (you will either get the A340 or a wet-leased plane - they have been doing a lot of wet-leases of late since the last TriStar was retired) you would get a drink after take-off, followed by lunch after about 1 hour and then a snack about an hour from ANU. The IFE will include a feature programme on the islands BW serves plus 2 movies (the southbound flight is in the day so 2 are shown, on return in the night only 1 is shown). The music selection features some 7 channels including soca, reggae, Indian music and some international selections. If a wet-leased plane is used the music may be that of the source airline but the movies should be BW's.

The southbound route takes you across South England, South Wales and along the South coast of Republic of Ireland. Once Eire has passed the plane heads south with only open sea. The crew will request the blinds be drawn during the movies so, unless you are quick enough and peek, you will miss the Azores (3hr from LHR). The plane flies directly over Santa Maria Airport (some of the TriStars have made unscheduled landings there). The IFE is stopped a few minutes before landing in ANU and is not restarted for the short onward leg to POS.

Overall expect good service and hospitality. I hope that you enjoy your flights with BWIA.

Hop to it, fly for life!

I flew BWIA LHR-ANU-LHR a couple of years ago and it left a lot to be desired! The aircraft was delayed for two hours while the crew looked for a misplaced fire extingusher (or so they said) which was later found on the plane, sounds like a bit of a saftey hazard! The crew didnt appear to wear a common uniform, they all had different things on, but they seemed friendly enough. Everything rattled when the plane moved, and the projector screen swung about during takeoff! Flight was mainly empty so 5 seats in the middle were good for a lie down! As far as I can remember the tristar was extremely quiet during cruise, and the service was ok-ish, on the whole they were ok!

Your flight sound like a handful of mine not LHR but to other BWIA destinations.

Now they were the same uniform a nice green that is very business like a strking contrast with the festive livery. I have found the staff on BWIA to be very friendly. Actually I love how the Tristar rattled on take off, taxi and true some turbulence not bad mild turbulence. The airline has an excellent safety record and it has been said that Bwee pilots dont leave the ground unless they feel the aircraft is fit for flight.

Please let us have a trip report.

Well actually the IFE is switched on after ANU, unless I flew with an imposter.

Then again I believe you were refering to the L1011 while I flew A340.

In the last 14 years that I have consistently used BWIA. (and I go home at LEAST once a year - sometimes two and three times). Only twice have I been delayed more than 30 minutes (which I consider acceptable).

Once was 8 hours when the inbound flight was diverted to Manchester as Heathrow was closed due to fog - they couldn't get a slot back.

The other time was this year (Jan 15th) when the motor in the jetty broke down and it could not be removed from the plane (British Airports Authority & Heathrow Airport Ltd to blame).

Though I had a friend use them last week and the flight was delayed by 12 hours (thanks to the Air Holland 767 going tech).

Yes, that Air Holland thing is going crazy. My mom flew with them on Saturday last and the plane left POS 4 hours late. They seem to be having a lot of trouble dealing with the post-Carnival rush when they have only 1 suitable plane of their own (A340). Perhaps they should have kept 9Y-THA active until after this busy season.

Here's a pic of the Air Holland 767 departing LHR bound for the Caribbean (BWIA flight). Good timing - you guys mentioning how unreliable the Air Holland 767 is and a pic of it appearing on A.Net. Aren't they also wet leasing a tristar from Euro Atlantic of Portugal.

I thought that the Tristar was only for the MAN flight on the weekend and the once weekly flight to LHR from one St Lucia I think. Thus making it possible to be used on LHR flights to get rid of the carnival traffic. Doesnt Wet Leasing to planes cost more than dry leasing the 340. Sound like mass confusion down at BWIA.

I would really like to know why THA and reported to be sold to Euro Atlantic. Can any one tell me if TGJ has left Trinidad to fly with Star Air which is reported to have bought N3140D and TGJ.

Hmmm...a L1011, a B767 and apparently an A310. What else are they going to lease to do the european routes..maybe a B747 or even a B777.

Anyways, BWIA is always my first choice to the Caribbean and would always recommend them to anyone. They give good service and an great safety record. Flying out of LHR should expect delays though, mainly because of the tail end of the Carnival season and for the fact that they are using the one aircraft for that route. If the purpose of your trip is to relax in the Caribbean then BWIA is the right choice. You'll hear the Steel Pan music when boarding together with a Caribbean flight crew and Caribbean meals. Let us know how the flight was when you get back. Have a safe trip!!!

Why blame the Air Holland 767 as it is only wet-leased. The late departure had nothing to do with going tech but only with the fact that a very late request was made to perform the flights. Air Holland exists currently on being a flexible wet-lease company and with 3 airplanes (of which one is is always flying for Air Gabon) you can't suit everybodys needs by the second. So blame the planning people of BWIA!
The Tristar you're talking about was wet-leased for approx. 2 weeks in may or june 2002! This was due to the fact that the machine they were supposed to lease was a real problem maker and therefore messing up the flight schedules. This was the former G-BYAR and is now in storage at Manchester after returning to the lease company (thank God they did that).

You are confusing me. The Tristar that 9Y-ISA and I am talking about and probally is the one leased from EuroAtlantic to replace BWIA last L1011 9Y-THA which was retired on Jan 28th 2003.

The aircraft that you seem to be talking about is another Tristar that was operated when the first A340 was introduced back in June of 2002. As I remember a problem with the roster system along with training crews for the A340 led to some confusion and a sick out by pilots.

So is there anyone who knows what is going down with the next A340 for BWIA. Is it in storage or still in Air Canada's fleet. Isnt the current arrangement expensive for BWIA with the leasing of these aircrafts

March 10, 2005 was a great experience for me. It was my first ever trip in first/business class. I was flying from Indianapolis, IN to Cologne, Germany.

I did the usual thing by arriving at the airport 2 hours early as recommended. Actually I was there 2 hrs 15 min early. What great luck that I got there in between rushes. There was no line at the WBC ticket desk. I walked right up and got my bags checked and I was off to security in a matter of minutes. As with security there was no line at the desk. And I was through in no time as well. Unfortunately I now had over 2 hours to kill before my flight.

Fast forward 2 hours....

I got seated in my seat and off we went. The FA's were very friendly and I was thrilled to find out they served Pepsi products. So I sat back and enjoyed my Mt. Dew. Unfortunately the DC9's are pretty much no frills jets. After a short flight we arrive in DTW. What an incredible facility. It is very nice and well designed. I really wanted to play around and ride the tram from end to end but I didn't want to goof off too much and miss boarding.

Boarding time came and I made my way to seat 2A on the A330-300. Now that is comfort. I goofed around with the chair for a while. Figuring out all the buttons and how to get the tv display to come out of the seat (which I fear I may have broken the release to lol). We were promptly served our choice of drinks. I decided to sample the bubbly which was really good. Around that time we were also served a dish of nuts. The appetizer was a fresh salad and a small dish of smoked fish. I will admit I really didn't understand the point of the fish. The dinner I selected was a beef dish (forgive me for not remembering the name.. I was a bit tired) with a side of red skin potatos, fresh bread and something else (see previous comment lol). Had I not been tired and ready to sleep immediately after dinner I could have had a dish of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

Rewind a bit.... I forgot to add that when you board the jet they immediately take your jacket for you. They also call you by name. But it is ammusing when they have the wrong passenger list and they look confused when you obviously aren't a foreigner and the guy sitting next to you isn't a Ms.  Smile

Even being as tired as I was I still couldn't sleep long. Its just a problem with me and flying. So I decided to try out the video system. There was a nice selection of movies but perhaps the most entertaining was the multi-player trivia (which I might add I sucked at). Its like the trivia in the bars but you play against other passengers. It even lists the seat numbers so you can check out who is missing all the questions. lol.

Breakfast was relatively simple but delicious. For me it was in the form of a crescent role and fresh sliced fruit. The presentations for all the meals were wonderful. The food was good not just by airline standards but by any standards. From the time I walked on the plane until I walked off the service was great. I never had to want anything. Even when I mucked up the video release someone was still glad to help me release the display. The WBC ticket in my opinion was worth every penny. I will absolutely do it again. I will say I probably should have picked FRA to fly in to instead of AMS. That place is just too spread out. I swear I think we landed in Germany and taxi'd to AMS. From that point on I think I pretty much unconsciously made my way to the next gate and on to CGN. That was the end of a very long day with very litte sleep the previous 2 nights.

I very much look forward to the return flight home and I'll make more of an effort to enjoy the free drinks and I'll try and run up the score in trivia so my name appears in the top 10  Smile

Nice report. I really love the new WBC on NW too. I was addicted to those games, especially the tetris-esque one. On all 4 flights that I recently had in WBC I was the only person on the plane playing the trivia...so it wasn't that much fun. And the service from the FAs in WBC is amazing too. They do everything they can to make sure you enjoy yourself. Also, you really get a sense that they appreciate your business.

I flew back from Europe last night completing the CGN-AMS-DTW-IND leg. On my flight out to CGN from AMS we were advised to be at the airport 2.5 hours early on a return trip. So I took the advice of the KLM rep and was at the airport 2.5 hours early. Too bad they weren't at the airport that early. I ended up waiting at the desk to over a half an hour for someone to show up. The rep finally showed up but seemed unhappy to be there. He proceeded to mess up my seat assignment and then tried to make it appear as if he had not but when I went to prove him wrong he corrected his mistake and fixed the problem. But it was not until I was going to pull a print out from my bag that he changed his tune. From that point until I boarded my flight from AMS to DTW was boring and uneventful so I'll fast forward. Unfortunately the attitudes of the people working the AMS to DTW flight weren't much better. As impressive as the service was on the DTW to AMS flight the service from AMS to DTW was unimpressive. The food service from DTW to AMS was great for any business let alone for an airline. The food service from AMS to DTW was just ok. If they called me by name on the flight it happened only once and I missed it. I didnt seem the staff smiling and when I ask for something I felt as if I was bothering them. On the way to AMS I felt as if I got my money worth from the service. The return trip left me feeling I might as well book coach the next time.

I do guess that the return trip was not the norm. The guy I was sitting next to on the long flight does about 250,000 miles a year and didn't think much of the service either. But since he flies NW often I would assume this wasn't normal otherwise he wouldn't have been flying with them this time. I will fly them again because everything coming from the domestic side including the flight to AMS was exceptional.

Thanks for the report Indy..I will be travelling KWI-AMS-DTW-STL on 1 Apr and hopefully my NW experience on the AMS-DTW segment will be better than the one you experienced. I have heard absolutely nothing but great things about the new A330's, so I'm really looking forward to the trip.

Unfortunately I don't have enough WP miles for a WBC upgrade so it will be steerage for me. But with the IFE and a power port at my seat, I hope to keep myself occupied for the trip..

If I manage to stay coherent I will attempt a trip report with some pics....

WBC on the way back really wasn't all that bad. I think part of the problem is that the service on the way out to AMS was so good and that was my first experience so that is what I set the standard to. Trivia is alot of fun. It isn't very fast and you can kill quite a bit of time playing a few rounds.

Overall it was worth the money and I'll gladly pay it to fly WBC again on NW. I keep debating whether I should seek employment with NW just for the flying benefits  Smile

The Ethnicity Card and Israel's Elections

Author: Mazal Mualem Posted January 4, 2013

It's already become a permanent fixture in elections: The ethnic card is being played yet again. It appears to be unavoidable — at some point, there will always be someone who will pull that card from the deck and reawaken all of the gaps and rifts between Mizrahim (Jews of north-African and Middle-Eastern origin) and Ashkenazim (Jews of East European origin) to get voters to the polls and vote the right way.

SummaryPrint The ultra-Orthodox Shas Party is stirring up the ethnic issue again in the Israeli election campaign, writes Mazal Mualem.
Author Mazal Mualem Posted January 4, 2013

The technique for creating an ethnic campaign is simple: First, choose a short and catchy slogan such as "recapturing the glory of the past." Then, try to evoke a little of the pain of discrimination felt by the Mizrahim, while tapping into the fury against the elite social groups, and finally, strengthen how closely they identify with those very feelings of discrimination down the generations. At the end of this process, they go cast their ballots.

The man who elevated the technique of the ethnic campaign to an art form was, of course, Menachem Begin, the former leader of the Likud who was elected prime minister of Israel in 1977. Although he was Polish by ancestry and in his mannerisms, Begin was the first to recognize the tremendous electoral potential of the sense of alienation felt by the Mizrahim. As he was also a gifted speaker — some would say a "gifted demagogue" — Begin’s speeches in development towns and town squares, the best-known of which was the so-called chach-chach (derogatory word for Mizrahim) speech against the “Ashkenazi” Labor Party, captivated masses of Mizrahim, who found a home with the Likud, a party that had its roots in Eastern European revisionism, as did most of its leaders.

A few years later, in the 1980s, the Shas (Sephardi Torah Guardians) party was formed. It was founded to counter the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Ashkenazi parties, which until that time were the only representation of Haredim in politics. The great success of Shas is its stability. The Mizrahi-Haredi party has been part of this political landscape for decades, with a hard core of Haredi and traditionalist Mizrahi voters.

It is, therefore, no wonder, that it was Shas that launched the ethnic campaign for the 2013 elections. The "brain" behind it is the party's No. 2 man, Aryeh Deri. Shas has recently found itself stuck in the polls, which forecast 11-12 seats, much like Shas has in the outgoing Knesset. Deri is convinced that if he can dust off and play the ethnic card, he will be able to move between two to four Mizrahi seats from the Likud to Shas.

Deri, we should add, already has one successful ethnic campaign under his belt. In the 1999 elections, when he was at the helm of Shas, the party scored its greatest victory: 17 seats, making it the third-largest party. Now he's seeking a similar win.

Returning to Shas after a lengthy hiatus of over a decade, during which he served a prison term for corruption, Deri is driven by tremendous motivation to be the magician once again — the man who knows how to hit the rawest nerves of the Mizrahim and make them believe that Shas is their home. He wants to leverage this electorate to retake the key position of influence he held on the political scene in the mid-1990s, and particularly in the second Rabin government, when he was known to have a close relationship with the late prime minister.

Deri has a creative mind and is daring. He immediately recognized that the union declared about two months ago between Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beiteinu (representing immigrants from the FSU) and the Likud could bring him the support of a large number of Mizrahi voters who would fear that Likud-Beiteinu was no longer their home.

And so it came to pass that last weekend, three weeks before the elections, Shas played the infamous ethnic card, and this time with the slogan: “Sepharadim [Mizrahim] arise.” It was accompanied by a range of provocative statements by the heads of Shas with Deri, as is his wont, astounding with his copywriting skills that brand and differentiate: "Likud-Beiteinu has become an arrogant and haughty party that represents Russians and whites. Shas is the true home for those who identify with the Likud," he said.

Even in set in the context of an aggressive election campaign, this statement was the ultimate in poor taste and primarily, racism. At Shas headquarters, Deri was sharply criticized and forced to apologize. However, at the same time, Shas continued to incite in the name of ethnic discrimination. As ordered by Deri, in recent days data has been collected showing underrepresentation of Mizrahim in the judicial system and politics, and the objective is to use the data as propaganda in the ethnic campaign.

Deri, who has a sense of humor, doesn't miss an opportunity to roll the Ashkenazi names of the heads of the political parties off the tip of his tongue: Benjamin Netanyahu, Avigdor Liberman, Shelly Yachimovich, Tzipi Livni, Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett. It sounds funnier with a Mizrahi accent.

That said, the most recent polls do not predict, at least not now, great success for the party's ethnic campaign, and it is not breaking the 12-seats in the good polls.

However, it would be incorrect to assume that the power of ethnic voting in Israel is on the decline. In many ways, this type of voting is still one of the strong drivers in Israeli politics, but the discourse surrounding it is evasive and for the most part denied. Why? Because along with future campaigns of sectoral parties such as Shas, which plays the ethnic card openly, Mizrahi candidates from mainstream parties refrain from addressing the matter directly and openly. The main reason is that they are afraid to be seen as leveraging ethnic sentiments for their own benefit.

Why are they afraid? Because, it is important to realize that there are two sides to the ethnic campaign: it can bring you Mizrahi voters, but at the same time can alienate Ashkenazim.

The most common expression for this is the "white tribe." This phrase pops up frequently in coverage of Israeli politics, when referring to the electorate leaning to the left-center, most of whom are Ashkenazim, generally with mid to high socioeconomic status. This public consistently shies away from supporting Mizrahi candidates, even if they head the political party to which they belong.

Knesset Members Amir Peretz and Shaul Mofaz are good examples. The former was elected head of the Labor Party at the end of 2005. At that time, Labor was traditionally considered the "white tribe's party." Aside from Knesset member Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, all party heads until that time were of Ashkenazi descent. Peretz made history by defeating Shimon Peres, currently President of Israel. Within two months, Peres left the Labor Party and joined Ariel Sharon's Kadima. Seven seats from the "white tribe" left the Labor Party along with him. Peretz compensated for this by bringing in seven other seats from peripheral areas, most Mizrahi.

Note that Peretz never played the ethnic card the way Deri does, but his people did it for him very successfully. That was how he got Mizrahi votes without being perceived as a cry baby.

The second example is Shaul Mofaz. While Peretz, who emigrated from Morocco, bears some of the stereotypical characteristics of Mizrahim — his name, appearance (the moustache) and the traces of a Mizrahi accent that can still be heard — Mofaz would appear to lack those very hallmarks.

He was educated at the agricultural school in Nahalal (a moshav or village renowned for its notable residents, mostly from the “white tribe") and rose to the rank of chief of the general staff. His childhood, as a son to a family of immigrants from Iran that suffered financial hardships and found it difficult to acclimate to Israel, was not revealed until his appearance on the political scene. The consultants and strategists explained that in politics, his story was a real asset: You could be the first Mizrahi prime minister, you could be the Israeli Obama, they told him.

But Mofaz, who like Peretz refused to engage in a clear Mizrahi campaign, evidently won't be the "Israeli Obama." His collapse in the polls was due to serious political missteps, but also because he was abandoned by “white tribe” voters, who refused to view him as their representative, and fled to Tzipi Livni (The Movement) and Shelly Yachimovich (Labor).

In the case of Mofaz, he lost twice. In Israel at the beginning of 2013, there have already been Mizrahi chiefs of general staff, defense ministers and foreign ministers, but we're still waiting for the first Mizrahi prime minister.

'Trivial Pursuits' hosts bringing live 'Bob & Tyler Show' to Green Bar tonight

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- In the midst of "The Tonight Show" transition, Tuscaloosa is seeing one of its own late night staples undergoing a few changes.

Namely, the live "Trivial Pursuits" shows at Green Bar will now use the moniker "The Bob & Tyler Show," featuring regular hosts Bob Baker and Tyler Marshall. The two also host the "Trivial Pursuits" podcast, part of the Well That's Cool network.

Each episode, you get a live stage production featuring "a whirlwind of tropes, cliches, parodies, and bad jokes as we hold up a mirror to television's most contrived formats," according to the show's Facebook page.

"It'll be some form of that name with a twist," Baker says. "We love wordplay. And the live shows have been something entirely different for us, this show in particular. Instead of free-form banter, we've actually began including scripted characters, sketches, A/V components, etc."

Baker says the podcast will come back soon, but the live show just became "an entirely different animal," so they had to change the name.

The guys return to Green Bar tonight for another show featuring all of their favorite things, like "a desk, chairs, people, a couch, lights, people, Zach Travis, and so much more," their event page says.

Also, longtime Tuscaloosa music staple The Ne'er-Do-Wells will perform once the show ends. Things get cracking at 10 p.m. There is no cover charge for this here wonderful live entertainment.

Medal of Honor recipient Ola Lee Mize dies at 82

GADSDEN, Alabama -- Col. Ola Lee Mize, who earned the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Korean War, died today at the age of 82.

Mize, a native of Marshall County and resident of Gadsden, received the medal "for conspicuous gallantry and outstanding courage above and beyond the call of duty" in September 1954 for his actions on June 10, 1953 near Outpost Harry (Surang-ni, Korea) during an intense attack.

According to his citation, Mize, then a sergeant, rescued a wounded soldier during a heavy attack, established a defensive position despite being blown down by artillery and grenade blasts three times, and inflicted heavy casualties on enemy forces. He moved between bunkers, firing at the enemy and throwing grenades. All the while, witnesses said Mize shouted encouragement to his fellows.

Later during the engagement, Mize killed 10 enemy soldiers while trying to retake a machine gun position, and radioed in artillery fire before helping direct a counterattack on enemy positions.

The citation lauded Mize for "valorous conduct and unflinching courage (that) reflect lasting glory upon himself and uphold the noble traditions of the military service."

Mize later served three tours in Vietnam and retired in 1981. A section of Steele Station Road in Gadsden is named in his honor, as is a veterans park and public museum dedicated last year.

University of Alabama students to build homes in tornado-damaged area during spring break

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Instead of playing in the sand and sun during their upcoming spring break, some University of Alabama students will spend their time off building houses for tornado survivors in Moore, Okla.

As part of UA's Community Service Center's "Alternative Spring Break", 16 students will work with Cleveland County Habitat for Humanity, according to a UA release.

Though UA's Alternative Spring Break usually focuses on an international service trip, organizers decided this trip would be more "meaningful" due to Tuscaloosa's own tornado experience.

“We especially value this opportunity, since students from other campuses were so dynamic in the volunteer opportunities here after our tornado incident,” Kimberly Montgomery, assistant director at the CSC, said in a UA release. “For UA students, this trip presents the perfect opportunity for civic engagement and global citizenship. We expect to help improve the quality of life for two families in the Moore community.”

Ready to learn, eager to play, Erique Florence part of Auburn's new wave of defensive backs

Erique-Florence-Auburn-Almond.jpgErique Florence ready to go in Auburn's playing rotation (Birmingham News / Mark Almond)
AUBURN, Alabama -- Freshman Erique Florence is still becoming accustomed to college life. But one thing never changes for a defensive back whether it is high school or college.

"As far as on the field, everything is going to be what it's supposed to be," he said.

Or, in football parlance, "ball is going to be ball," Florence said.

Florence is part of an Auburn secondary that came alive against Florida Atlantic when it claimed two of the Tigers' three interceptions. The Tigers will be looking for more of the same when they face interception-prone Stephen Garcia and South Carolina at 2:30 p.m. in Columbia, S.C.

Auburn intercepted Garcia twice last season, though none in the first of two meetings.

Florence is a backup behind Neiko Thorpe, a cornerback last year who's a safety this season. Florence received more playing time because Auburn was concerned it was wearing out Thorpe, who played more than 90 plays the week before.

But that was simply the Auburn trend. Defensive backs Demetruce McNeal and Chris Davis had averaged 85 plays in the first two games. Jonathon Mincy started in place of Davis, who was injured the week before. Coach Gene Chizik said he hopes Davis will be available for Saturday's game.

Another rookie like Florence, Jermaine Whitehead, returned an interception for a touchdown that helped Auburn pull away from an uncomfortably-close halftime lead over Florida Atlantic.

It's part of the learning process. It's part of survival, especially trying to stop South Carolina workhorse running back Marcus Lattimore.

"Fatigue is what gets a lot of guys. They just fall of him in the second half," Thigpen said. "We've got to keep fresh guys in there, and play all five of my guys in the back end, even if it's young guys. We need to just get a rotation because when this guy carries it 35-40 times, if fatigue gets in the way, he's a guy who can run through you and run over guys."

Florence says he's catching up by watching game film.

"We watch more film than we do practice, actually," Florence said.

"We come in and watch film on our own, and sometimes we get the coach to help us. We're like, 'Coach, we want to watch film.' And he might set something up for us. It's not a set amount of time that we watch film. It's all what we want to do."

Florence says he'd like to use his 6-foot-2, 207-pound frame as part of his game.

"I feel like one of the better parts of me is my physicality. I have to be physical, no matter what I'm doing. If I'm blocking, I want to block physical. If I'm hitting, I want to hit physical. My speed and all, put together with my physicality, that's like a bonus for me. So I try to use it to my advantage," he said.

Florence said he grew up that way in Valley.

"We were always a Wishbone team, so we got that physical part about us then, and it just stuck with me," Florence said. "I always remember my running back coach telling me one man should never bring you down.

So I just thought, getting tough, like, 'One man never brought me down,' ever since he told me that. I ran the ball physical, then when they finally put me on defense, I had that mentality that 'I'm going to be the one man to bring somebody down.' I had to hit every play. I brought that to college with me. I try to hit every day that I can."

Our neighbors to the north are engaged in a unique social and legal experiment that New Mexico and other states should pay close attention to.

Since the start of the new year, it has been legal for residents of Colorado to purchase up to an ounce of marijuana. Out-of-state residents can purchase up to a quarter-ounce, but will be breaking the law the minute they cross state lines.

The federal government has thus far taken a hands-off approach, but the new state law, as well as a similar law passed in Washington state, are in conflict with federal law. How that conflict eventually gets resolved is one of many questions still to be answered.

Other include:

• What will the impact be on traffic safety?

• Will tax revenue from marijuana sales produce the windfall that is expected?

• What will the impact be on businesses in the state? Will employees still be subject to drug tests for marijuana as a condition of employment? Will there be increased absences?

• What effect will it have on drug use among teens? Will legalization of marijuana lead to greater usage of harder drugs such as heroine and cocaine?

• Or will it, instead, free up law enforcement to pursue more serious crimes? Will it free up space in overcrowded jails?

If New Mexico were to legalize the drug, what would happen when residents were found to have it at Border Patrol checkpoints?

There are, obviously, a lot of uncertainties here. However, one thing is certain -- the decades-long "war on drugs" has not been successful. We have invested billions of dollars, imprisoned scores of users -- blacks and Hispanics at a much higher rate than Anglos, though their rates of usage are similar -- yet have barely made a dent.

No wonder lawmakers in other states are taking a close look at Colorado, with an eye toward legalization. Alaska is likely next, according to a recent story in the Denver Post. Oregon may not be far behind. Legislatures in Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont may also take up the issue this year.

In New Mexico, Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, has proposed a constitutional amendment that would put marijuana legalization on the ballot this year. Based on the difficulty over many years to get a medical marijuana bill through the state Legislature, we doubt if he will be successful the first time out.

It's probably better if New Mexico gives the Colorado experiment some time to play out so we can learn from its mistakes. But we're glad that Ortiz y Pino is starting the discussion.

Johannesburg, South Africa - It has been almost two years since 27-year-old Pinky Mosiane was raped and murdered hundreds of metres underground in an Anglo Platinum mineshaft in Marikana, South Africa.

A suspect in the Mosiane case was finally arrested three months ago. This was not the first time a woman mineworker had been raped underground in South Africa. But it was the first time that substantial attention was given to these women and the sexual harassment they are subjected to on a daily basis.

In August 2012, a mining town named Marikana, along the "Platinum Belt" in South Africa's North West province, made headlines  around the globe. Thirty-four mineworkers employed by platinum miner Lonmin were killed when police opened fire during a strike over wages.

- Tanzania's gold rush and housing crush

- Silicosis: The curse of Lesotho's miners

- Mozambique fishermen decry gas drilling

- Arandis: The uranium capital of the world

- Mining while female: The perils of Marikana

But the women of Lonmin have often remained unnoticed. "Anne", a miner employed by Lonmin in Marikana who asked that her real name not be used, has been working underground for three years fixing ventilation pipes. With her gold-painted nails and not a stray hair amid her tight braids, it is hard to imagine her labouring in overalls, covered in black dust.

"After [the end of the work day] at midday, we have to wait till 3:30pm in the waiting area for the lift to take us back to the surface," she says. "Some days, it was me alone with 12 men." She says there have been days where there have been five women left in the waiting area with as many as 65 men.

Because many mining companies either do not meet the 10 percent quota of female employees required by the South African Mining Charter, or stick to the minimum, there are often very few women on a shift with dozens of men. Just eight percent of Lonmin employees are women.

Few female miners

Sue Vey, a spokesperson for Lonmin, said that while the company has not met the 10 percent quota, it was planning "to achieve this milestone". Just over five percent of the company's female employees work underground. She says the mine does not consider the ratio of men to women allocated to a shift, instead appointing them based on the requirements of the roles.

There are only two toilets in the section... It's so far to walk and it's dark, dark, dark. Even if you scream, no-one is going to hear you.

- "Anne," female miner

"Eish, how many women were raped underground?" Anne asks rhetorically, shaking her head. She says that if a woman were to be raped, she would not report it to an authority figure, for fear of losing her job. "There are only two toilets in the section. One for men and one for women. For 70 workers. But it's so far to walk and it's dark, dark, dark. Even if you scream, no-one is going to hear you."

Tiny Magija, the coordinator of the Justice for Pinky Mosiane Campaign, says that while companies are aware of the issue of sexual abuse and harassment underground, they are not doing much about it.

"Research has shown that gender-based violence in mining is very rife," she says. "The quota has always been there, but it hasn't been implemented and no-one is voicing an opinion about it, till it's at the point where abuse is happening every day. Women in the mining industry are seen as sex objects."

She says a major part of the problem is that "the people in the positions of power are the same people oppressing women. Look at Pinky: The man arrested was an occupational health safety officer. The companies don't care about sexually based violence. If they did, then why is it taking them so long to actually do anything?"

When asked about complaints, Lonmin's Vey said there had been no reported cases of rape at the company, and that it had sexual harassment policies and procedures, and kept employees informed of what to do in such situations through extensive communication campaigns.

Claims of harassment

Gender-based abuse underground goes beyond the obviously violent, say female miners at the company, who claim they have to sell their bodies to climb the ranks, or to have their complaints taken seriously.

"If you want something at work, you have to love the supervisor or chibaas [chief boss] or the kaptein [captain]," said Anne. "It's hard to get a promotion, because guys take advantage - they just say 'love me'."

Alternatively, she says she could pay a bribe, also known as a "chocho", for as much as 5,000 South African rand ($470), to her captain. She says that she cannot talk to the staff in the human resources department as "they are all men".

Safety of all our employees is critical and therefore we take a dim view to any acts of harassment.

- Sue Vey, Lonmin spokesperson

"Connie", who also asked that her real name not be used, broke her leg while on shift underground at Lonmin in 2008, and has since left the company. But even then, said the 35-year-old, the problems were the same. When she applied for a job, she was asked for sex a few times, but refused. "Women are treated very unfairly in this job," she said. "If you want a better position, you have to bribe or sleep with the bosses, even the ones in HR. Women who won't do it, who try to stand their ground, get dismissed."

She said women are considered powerless by their male co-workers. "Lonmin has a budget for women, but their employees are trying to destroy our dignity. They just use us."

Vey said that "these are certainly very serious allegations. Safety of all our employees is critical and therefore we take a dim view to any acts of harassment". She said that the company had "human resources staff deployed across the business who are trained to assist employees with social and workplace issues" and an anonymous tip-off line that employees could use to report cases of harassment.

"We also have an extensive Employee Wellness Programme that could be used. We also have Women in Mining structures across the business, run by women."

But female miners say almost every aspect of their work involves some kind of harassment. In the lifts between the surface and the shaft, women are squashed between men's bodies; they are insulted for being less powerful physically.

'Part of underground culture'

Asanda Benya is a sociologist at the University of the Witwatersrand, who spent time working underground as part of her research.

"To a huge degree, harassment has been normalised, so that's one of the ways they deal with it - they accept it as part of underground culture. I think to some degree the companies are are aware of it, but not at the true scale. At the same time, they are in denial about it, or also see it as normal 'mining men' behaviour."

She said that while women do complain, "most times the HR officer is friends with the accused and the case is never really followed through, or women are told 'it's not harassment, they are appreciating you - that's how it is in mining'. At other times, the women are afraid to report [attacks] because they don't want to lose their jobs or be alienated by other workers."

Yet even considering the risks involved, the high unemployment rate for women in Marikana means that a job in the mines is something to aspire to.

"Women have no choice but to do this work," said Anne. "Life is difficult. Who can help you? I don't know. There is no-one to tell about my problems. And I can't trust anyone: You never know who is good and who is wrong."

If you were the CEO of a company like Thai Airways and had been credited with turning the fortunes of the company around, it might not be unreasonable to expect some sort of reward, right? You certainly would not expect to lose your job. And yet that is exactly what has happened to Piyasvasti Amranand, the president and CEO of Thai Airways.

In 2011, the airline, partly due to last year's floods, made a loss of $321m. This year, however, it is expected to make a $191m profit.

But here is the catch, Thai Airways is 51 per cent owned by the country's finance ministry, and, as is often the case, new governments mean new management. And the outgoing CEO was appointed by the previous government. So, is he simply a political casualty? Veronica Pedrosa puts that question to the man himself.

Plus, what has put the brakes on trade expansion? Veronica Pedrosa asks Pascal Lamy, the director-general of the World Trade Organisation.

He talks about the growth versus austerity debate from the perspective of trade and says: "You need to find the proper mix between adjusting this huge debt mountain, which obviously is unsustainable, on the one side and on the other side, keeping the economy growing." It is a balance that he says is extremely difficult to achieve, "not least because various countries are leaning on either side".

And, at the start of the year, Justin Lin, the chief economist of the World Bank, warned of a new downturn worse than the 2008 financial crisis. He said developing countries, in particular, should be a major focus, because that is where things could be turned around. Counting the Cost spoke to him about the need for a new way of economic thinking.

Book Description

In the Ideals of Women is the Strength of a Nation: A History of the Polish Women's Alliance of America (East European Monographs)

Conceived in 1898 in Chicago, Illinois, the Polish Women's Alliance of America has risen to be the largest fraternal insurance and benefit ethnically based society of women. The national office is now located in Park Ridge, Illinois and there are chapters in sixteen states. More than 600,000 women have belonged to the PWA of A, whose original mission was to represent women as equal members with men in working towards the betterment of the Polish-American community. Its official publication, Glos Polek (The Voice of Polish Women), plays an important role in Polish-American life. This is the story, told for the first time in English, of the often-heroic efforts of five generations of women activists.

Liner Notes

Corey Harris makes a good first impression. The first time I saw him was in the tiny back room of a club in New Orleans. He was sitting on a stool, a battered National steel guitar in his hand. His shirt was unbuttoned and sweat was dripping off his beard onto his chest. Each time he struck the rattling strings, tapped his ragged brown shoes on the dirty concrete floor or coaxed a phrase out of some place deep inside his gut, the audience's sense of place and time disappeared a little. Until all they were left with was this incredible musician who had somehow plugged himself not just into the deep-running waters around the Mississippi Delta but also the equally deep and raging currents of his own blood, of the journey from freedom to slavery to freedom of his own ancestors, whose roots he has spent much of his life researching.

Corey Harris makes an even better second impression. Talking with him opens up a world of experience. He has a degree in anthropology; he studied Pidgin-English on a Watson Fellowship in Cameroon, West Africa; he drove throughout the South playing guitar; he taught middle-school French in a small Louisiana town; he's led students on public service projects in New Orleans. He listens to everything: rap; spirituals; klezmer; Indian sitar music; Hawaiian slack-key guitar; French dance-hall tunes and Malian guitar players. His ears are amazingly wide open. And in the past year the world's ears have been opening to his music. Until just a couple of years ago, Harris' main concert venue was the streets. Now, at 28, he's played at festivals all over Europe, appeared in Japan with B.B. King and Buddy Guy, and toured across America as an opening act for not only B.B. and Buddy, but also for Natalie Merchant and The Dave Matthews Band, gaining exposure to a pop audience--an extremely rare opportunity for an acoustic blues musician. He's also grown remarkably as a songwriter, striking an equal and effortless balance between his own songs and the blues canon on this album, his second for Alligator. On his first, Between Midnight And Day , there were only three originals--and there was a kazoo instead of a brassy back-up band.

Harris' life has turned completely around in the past year. For the first time in his life, he's actually making a living at concert halls. And what does he want to do now? "Play for school children," he says.

Harris is a beautiful contradiction, and it shows in every aspect of this album. Beginning with the title, Fish Ain't Bitin', a bad-luck expression from a man who's had almost nothing but good luck (at least career-wise) lately. Then there's the first few bars of the first song, High Fever Blues . It begins with a sparsely plucked guitar, which is suddenly answered by a melancholy blast from a horn section that seems to have wandered over from a street parade in Harris' current home, New Orleans. Forget authenticity; Harris is going for a sound true to himself. To top it off, the high fever Harris sings about with such conviction and desperation is the chicken pox. "You know that high fever makes a rich man poor," he sings with a mix of humor and earnestness on spending a workday in the sick bed.

This kind of unpredictability continues throughout the album. Though some listeners peg Harris as a Delta blues purist playing like he's a contemporary of Robert Johnson or Son House, it's too easy an explanation for an album with roots this complex. That's not to say that Harris isn't a believer in tradition. He is staunchly so, especially when those traditions have to do with family, the blues, reggae, Africa, education or hundreds of other things. But he's only interested in tradition insofar as it enables him to put the present into focus. That may explain songs like the police corruption lament 5-O Blues , which mixes contemporary slang with a guitar-picking style at least 70 years old. Yet this album is not a hybrid in any self-conscious way. The percussion may vary from Harris' stolid foot-tapping to the deep-barreled rhythms of the djun-djun, a Malian bass drum. But, considering Harris' wide range of interests, the sound is remarkably consistent and unforced.

"I don't like to be all over the map," Harris says. "But I don't need to tune out things either.
I leave room in the music for little bits of things to influence it. Sometimes I might say something I heard on a hip-hop record. It's about bringing what I've experienced into my music and just being true to how I express myself naturally."

Take the album's title track, Fish Ain't Bitin', which begins with a delivery that sounds more like radical '60s poetry (a la The Last Poets). That is, before the tuba kicks in. "As a title, Fish Ain't Bitin' came to me from thinking about the situations in rural areas," Harris says. "I lived for a while in rural Louisiana and saw how people have problems with the environment, education, unemployment and just having something as simple as having an ambulance get you if you have an accident. So I summed it up: Fish Ain't Bitin' . There's a lot of things to be had, but they're not reaching the people they need to reach. The song also comes from me being a kid, going down to East Texas to fish for catfish on family land. Nowadays those kinds of interchanges--being outdoors with your family, old people telling stories--are very precious. It's special when they happen, the simple things."

Harris' first album, Between Midnight And Day , was so simple it took only six hours
to record. This one took a little more time but not so much that the music loses its immediacy. The first session was recorded during a weekend in October, 1996. Harris waited until December to return for a final two days of recording and mixing. After all, why rush timeless music?

-- Neil Strauss, The New York Times

I washed these sheets, upon receipt, and they came out very soft and wrinkle free! Time will tell how they wear but, as of this moment, I am very happy.

Stylish and comfortable sheets from Santa Monica, CA on 12/23/2014 – Verified Buyer
I like the crispness of the percale, and they're very comfortable. The color is a very warm beige-ish grey (not quite the cooler color I anticipated with "Smoke", but they're nicely neutral.

Great sheet set from Los Angeles, CA on 05/26/2014 – Verified Buyer
Love the color and design of this sheet set. However, the background color is more of an off-white than bright white. I would have preferred it be more bright white. All in all a really nice sheet set!

Great value and quality! from Montclair, NJ on 04/29/2015 – Verified Buyer
We received one of these playmats as a gift and bought a second for our other son's room because we loved it so much. It is large, the right amount of plush and fun, vibrant colors. It is dual sided so you can switch it up as often as you want. Pros: Great value, high quality, fun colors Cons: None!

Super cute from Kirkland, QC on 01/19/2015 – Verified Buyer
This playmate is great in my child's playroom! Love the colors and the interaction. However, it is not a puzzle mat and the alphabet is written 2.5 times on it, so some letters are cut off. Pro: on the reverse side there is a "city" so my child can play with her dolls on the reversible side.
