Why articles titled "How to get a first-class upgrade" are lies
2011-08-11 10:39:00 I’ve seen more than a few articles lately by bloggers about “How to get a first class upgrade” and in my travel experience, they’re full of it. Sure, they’ll toss around things like Y-UP fares or dressing up or being nice, but 99% of the time it’ll come down to your frequent flier status or...

I had never read a Marvel Comic growing up so I had no idea who the X-Men (or women) were until the films started a few years back. Then I must say I was hooked but the thought was always in my mind, "How did all this get started?" X-Men: First Class cleared up a lot for me. I thought Professor Xavie...
Movie Review - X-Men: First Class (**** out of 5)
2011-06-04 20:55:00 X-Men: First Class. 138 mins. PG-13. Directed by Matthew Vaughn. Written by Ashley Miller & Zach Stentz and Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn.The new X-Men movie, First Class, does what every questionable reboot of a fading franchise needs to do in order to shut up its detractors: it's good. Really good. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by the quality on screen. After punishing audiences with The Last Stand (which I actively disliked) and Wolverine (which I downright hated), Fox has wisely brought Bryan Singer back into the fold, and, even better, handed the directing reins to Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass). The result is a smart, confident, and briskly paced action movie that truly delivers the goods.Taking...
Movie Review - X-Men First Class
2011-06-04 15:44:00 by David SchusterThis certainly has been the summer for sequels with "Pirates Of The Caribbean", "Fast And Furious" and "Hangover". And more will follow but we also have our first prequel in the form of "X-Men: First Class". If you hadn't seen any of the X-Men movies, they're about mutants who live amongst us who have special talents but are shunned by the general population. Some mutants are good and some are evil and this movie shows you the origin of how it all began. In the later installments you get the two main characters of Professor X (good) and Magneto (bad) pitted vs each other. Sort of like professional wrestling (good vs. evil). Here in the prequel you see how the...
X-Men: First Class Trailer
2011-02-10 23:53:00 So the long awaited trailer for X-Men: First Class is finally online. I must say this is definitely looking better than the Wolverine origins movie (sorry Marvel, but it was kind of awful).I honestly had my doubts about this movie, but this trailer has made me very anxious to see this in theaters. Although the film hits the big screen in June, only a few legit photos have been released online so far. Which seemed odd because the Thor and Captain America films (also hitting theaters this summer) have been heavily marketed.(Check out the trailer after the jump)...
Full Body Scanners Show Who's "First Class"
2010-05-10 23:11:00 Last week I refrained from making a comment about the TSA agent who attacked another agent for mocking his, well, shortcomings.Mainly I wanted to refrain from making a cheap joke about it, but I wanted to talk about the TSA themselves.Always an object of derision, I believe the TSA tries to do the best they can given their mandate. Since they can't profile, are not allowed to use common sense, and have to deal with strange rules that comes down from Homeland Security, it's no wonder that the experience varies. I've had awesome TSA agents who crack jokes and who are pleasant individuals at a number of airports, and then run into TSA agents who are total jerks. Unfortunately, the...
A Detailed Defense Of First Class
2010-02-23 22:03:00 Here's a thought-provoking comment posted recently on the blog defending FirstClass and the limitations on the use of non-CPS software that were of such an issue at the start of the year:"I dunno. This AUP sounds a lot like most AUPs created by large school districts. The expectation that teachers and other employees will ONLY use the CPS official email to communicate with teachers and parents is pretty typical of AUPs that I've seen (including mine at a local university). This is pretty much mandated by federal law regarding student records, and certainly is a wise thing to require for large school districts that may need to go back and check through what has been communicated between teacher and student...

On Fighting Pre-First-Class Anxiety
2009-01-12 17:29:00 One of my favorite writers (and my new best friend, if I can catch her) Sarah Vowell participated in an experiment in which a group of San Francisco goths gave regular civilians a goth makeover and sent them out into goth clubs to see if they would "pass." The prerequisite to the makeover was doing some homework--picking a goth name, listening to angry songs, writing dark poetry, etc. Vowell writes, Before anyone breaks out the eyeliner, we all sit in a circle and go through my homework. The whole thing reminds me of graduate school seminars, except these people are smart and funny and have something interesting to say. (Take the Cannoli, p. 214).Now that's the attitude I need on the first day of school. Also, a little bit of goth make-up wouldn't hurt either. You know, to look intimidating and all.

Pic of the week - inside the Emirates A380 First Class

Review of Emirates A380 First Class, EK001, Dubai – London Heathrow
2008-12-30 20:57:00 I know it’s becoming a little bit of a cliché to talk about how quiet the plane is. There is so little ‘roar’ from the engines on take off that you wonder how this giant hulk of an aircraft is going to build up enough speed to get off the ground. Not sure if it was the quietness of the aircraft or the noise reduction headsets, but I was particularly impressed by the sound quality of the ICE entertainment system on this flight. The large TV screens (23 inches?) in the First Suites help too.
Broadcom (BRCM): 'First class' in chips

A First Class Stinkaroo...BECKETT OUT, For Now...Toronto 11 Boston 0
2008-08-24 10:46:00 Saturday afternoon in Toronto, Canada started out on a hopeful note but quickly descended into the depths of baseball despair. Jon Lester was downright awful...he allowed 7 runs in only 2 1/3 innings while walking 2 and striking out two. It was the shortest start of his young career. He just didn't have it. I hope he was able to "turn the page" and start getting ready for his next start. It's best if he can forget all about this weekend debacle. I'll sure try. Daisuke Matsuzaka will try to right the ship this afternoon when he faces the tough AJ Burnett in the rubber match of the series. These games are vitally important, but the Sox were never in it yesterday. Here's what Jon and his manager had to say after the whitewashing...?Nothing was really working,? Lester said. ?I was rushing through my delivery, not a good tempo. When I did get the groundballs that I needed, they weren?t at people. It just wasn?t my day. Basically, everything you don?t want to do, I did today.??Today ...

Thai Airways Royal First Class, London to Bangkok
2007-11-04 19:35:00 The Royal First Lounge at Bangkok is very impressive - better even than Qatar Airways Premium Terminal at Doha in my opinion. There are nice private rooms to relax in (photo shown), sleeping areas, shower suites and a full service menu. The lounge staff were extremely attentive and were constantly offering to bring me food and drink. They also made me an appointment to visit the Royal Orchid Spa where I had a nice complimentary neck and shoulder massage. When the time came for me to board my connecting flight, I was personally escorted all the way to the aircraft.

World's Best First Class
2007-08-13 22:10:00 Flying first class used to just mean more leg room and a better meal, but anymore some airlines are really going over the top. And the word is some airlines because not all of them even offer first class anymore, having done away with it to focus instead on business class. About 35 airlines offer first class right now, and the competition is getting steeper and steeper as they all compete to get that "wow factor" from customers. They're providing everything from fully flat beds, 3:1 passenger to crew ratios, exotic high end linens, pillows, toiletries, and even 7 course gourmet meals with caviar and Dom Perignon champagne. All that's missing is a jacuzzi!more here.... |
