So many people have reached out to me today during the nor’easter blizzard 2022 to kindly inquire:
1. Are you okay?
2. Do you have power?
3. And, do you have enough to eat?
2. Thank God, yes!
3. Ummm… yes.
You know. I daresay that most Americans have enough food in their homes at any given time to sustain them for at least a month if necessary.
And yet, the first thing to go from the supermarket shelves is the bread and milk when there’s an impending storm. Right?
It reminds me of when Covid first hit in March 2020, and there wasn’t a roll of toilet paper to be found anywhere.
However, those of us who’ve lived in the northeastern United States are used to storms that are colloquially called Nor’easters. Or, as I heard Stephen Colbert say once:
a storm so powerful that it knocks out all of the available Ts and Hs.”
The name comes from a powerful low-pressure cyclone blowing from the northeast.
And what is it that we have northeast of us? Yes, a bigass frigid body of water. So, if it’s above freezing temps, we get a lot of wind and soaking rain. But, if it’s cold enough, we sometimes get a heap load of snow.
However, in recent years, most of the storms have stayed far enough off the coast so that the snow is minimal.
Well, not today. We got a good hammering with near white-out conditions for most of the day. As of 9:30 PM, the east coast of Massachusetts has had from 20″ to over 30″ of fine powdery snow. Boston Logan Airport has reported 23.5″.
The above photo was taken this afternoon around 1:00 PM out my living room window.
So, how do Bostonians handle the nor’easter blizzard 2022? Well, I’ll get to that in a sec.
But, first, I need to share some updates on the Boston Public Garden Ducklings. I pass them by at least once or twice a week and have become quite fond of them and enchanted by their ever-changing wardrobe.
You may recall seeing the darling bronze ducklings in my Christmas post.
Well, a few weeks ago, I snapped them, making quite the statement.
This was about three weeks ago on a freeeeezing day before my tech gloves arrived. But I wanted to take it for my sister Holly, a vegan.
Recently, the ducklings have been wearing Boston Bruins uniforms. For those that don’t know, that’s our local professional ice hockey team.
However, yesterday, on my way to my Friday morning coffee group, I couldn’t help but notice the adorable new outfits the ducklings were sporting.
The mama duck is quite the character and apparent role model for her offspring.
From this view, you can see the northern border of the public garden, which is Beacon Street and the beginning of Beacon Hill. The mid-rise red brick building is where Charles Street begins.
Charles street also runs between the public garden and the Boston Common, as you can see below.
But, I just can’t enough of these little guys. Are they the cutest, or what?
Frankly, though, I was somewhat concerned for their welfare because of the impending nor’easter blizzard 2022.
First of all, I was afraid their fine coats would get wrecked. In addition, although absolutely darling, they aren’t really terribly warm coats.
Okay, okay, please calm down. I do know that ducks don’t need coats to stay warm. But still.
So, today, on my way to Beacon Hill, I was walking through the garden with my new friend Jayne when we both broke out in raucous laughter. Yes, we were walking in the snow, but the blizzard conditions had subsided by 4:40, just before sunset. Well, the sun that was hidden by the thick cloud cover.
Here’s why we were laughing.
Some of the ducklings were totally buried! And yes, they are currently
butt buck naked! (yes, variation on naked. Kind Cynthia informed me of my malapropism regarding “butt” instead of “buck.” Live and learn!)
However, this one appears to be gasping for air! That’s why we were laughing so hard.
Of course, their fine coats were removed before the big nor’easter blizzard 2022. That most likely happened in the late afternoon on the 28th.
So, where were Jayne and I going during one of the worst storms to hit Boston in years?
Well, we were going to Beacon Hill to meet our good friends for drinks and dinner!
Yes, indeed, and we weren’t the only ones who were enjoying the evening despite the disagreeable weather. Fortunately, there were very few cars on the road. There are thousands within an easy walk of Beacon Hill and Back Bay.
Here we are at a new restaurant on Mount Vernon Street called 1928 Beacon Hill. We all enjoyed the sophisticated, eclectic decor, as well as our drinks and dinner.
The image is courtesy of Wendy Oleksiak’s Instagram, which is super beautiful. Wendy is a native Bostonian and a crackerjack realtor throughout the entire greater Boston area. She’s in the middle with the black and white scarf.
Are we not worried about catching Covid?
Yes, we are. However, all of us have been triple vaxxed and mask-up in public. I feel it’s a balancing act between being mindful and still having a life.
BTW, my darling son, the one in the middle of the Caribbean, on a 40-foot sailboat, got Covid a few days ago. However, thankfully, it’s been relatively mild. (Yes, he’s triple vaxxed.) He’s having a wonderful time and says he’s in paradise.
Well, I feel that way, too, even though it’s a lot colder right now than I prefer.
Although, my new winter coat is a Godsend! Everything about it is perfect, including the hood.
I just read the other reviews and the snaps do NOT let the cold air in! No part of the coat is tight on me. I got a size six which is my normal size in a coat. Everything else, I usually wear a 4. There is plenty of room in the shoulders. And, my new phone which is the big I-phone 13 did fit in the pocket.
The hood is AMAZING! I can’t stand it when they don’t stay on. This one, even in the wind, stays put. Plus, it kept my head nice and toasty.
After dinner, I walked back to Back Bay with Jayne and Cheryl, who organized this meetup.
Jayne took this photo of Cheryl and me walking down the middle of deserted Charles Street. It’s an incredible feeling being in a normally bustling big city on a Saturday night with hardly another soul in sight.
I’m no longer the “new girl” as Cheryl and Jayne moved here very recently, but both had lived here before, I believe. I live between the two, so Cheryl kindly invited us into her charming rental apartment for a drink and some yummy chocolate, raspberry banana bread– and a roaring fire in her lovely fireplace.
Of course, I had to leave before I was ready because I needed to finish this post.
Alas, my new tech gloves are “in the shop.” Why? They were shipped with the security thingy still on.
However, my Adirondack mittens are so incredibly warm that taking my hands out for a couple of minutes wasn’t so bad. So, I took some photos of the snow for y’all to see.
The Commonwealth Ave Mall and row houses in the snow shortly after it stopped.
Above and below is the Comm Ave Mall. The gorgeous lights will be up for another ten weeks.
Above and below the Comm Ave Mall @ Berkley Street around 8:45 PM January 29, 2022.
Someone asked if the sidewalks were plowed. Most had been plowed at some point, but not all of them. And no sidewalks were totally clear of the snow.
Outside my front door. Remember the scene the night I moved?
The move on December 21, 2020, was five days after the last big snowstorm of December 16, 2020.
Then, 13+ months later, I heard a familiar sound barreling down the street.
Yes, the “evil snowplow man!” lol.
Well, it’s a necessary evil to put down salt and dirt that subsequently creates “snirt.” However, the snirt helps prevent the deadly black ice, thus helping to keep people safe.
For more on “snirt,” if you’re not familiar, this is one of my favorite posts ever.
So, yes, I am fine, and I hope all of you are as well!
I have to say this is when I’m super glad that I don’t have to deal with a car outside.
Wendy sent me this short video that shows how some Bostonians get around in a blizzard. You must see it!
In closing, thank you again for your well-wishes; Hopefully, you are fairing well with the intense nor’easter blizzard of 2022, as well.

The difference between lake-effect snow and a blizzard
A blizzard is a severe weather condition characterized by low temperatures, strong winds and heavy snow. In contrast, lake-effect snow is created when cold air passes over a warmer body of water, picking up moisture and creating conditions conducive to snowfall.

Cecchi Gori Fine Arts Theatre Closed
posted by meheuck on May 23, 2005 at 4:53 am
BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Last Wednesday night, May 18th, was the last night of operation for the Cecchi Gori Fine Arts Theatre.
Arthouse chain Landmark has been booking the theater since the mid-‘90’s. No word has been issued if this is a decision made by Landmark or by the Cecchi Gori family who own the building, and no further information is available as to what will happen to the theater.
I only visited once, in 1998, in my quest to enjoy almost all of LA single screen movie houses. I recall this being a wonderful theater, not huge, that had a neat interior and a TERRIFIC movie presentation. For those of us who like old fashioned moviehouses and presentations, complete with curtain before screen, the Cecchi Gori will be missed. From Philadelphia, Howard B. Haas
The Cecchi Gori family has been looking to unload the Fine Arts Theatre for well over a year; perhaps they or the realtor representing the attempted sale of the property felt they’d be able to move it easier if it was unoccupied. If that’s the case, I’d have to think its prospects of ever again operating as a film venue are tenuous at best.
I sent this question to my contacts at Landmark; I should know what’s up for the theatre in the next day or so. It really is a beautiful little theater – on par with the Royal on Santa Monica Boulevard – but there’s also an empty lot to the left of it so maybe someone’s fixing to tear it down and build on both lots. I hope not.
There was once a Union 76 service station in the lot next to the theatre.
Landmark closed the theatre. The Cecchi Gori’s want too much money for the building. It remains to be seen who, if anyone will re-open the cinema, which is too bad, because it really is a rarity these days – a mid-size movie palace. I hope someone with a little more vision is able to re-open it, and do a more than stick one film to play for 4 months at a time. With a bit of imagination, it could be home to some interesting programming.
This theatre is absolutely beautiful inside. It has a red velvet curtain with huge gold tassels on either side, a sparkly purple secondary curtain, and a lovely mural in the lobby. Up until its closure, this theatre had been doing fairly good business, even with one film running for a long period of time. The problem was with Landmark upper management. In the hands of a better chain, such as Laemmle, this theatre has the potential to do excellent business again. Please save this gem. If the Fine Arts gets torn down it would be a horrible loss.
The parking is really bad unless you go on a Sunday afternoon.

The grocery store had some fresh blackberries on sale this week so I thought I would give them a try. Now had we eaten the blackberries alone that would have been a nice healthy snack, but instead I thought I would try a dessert with them and made a blackberry crumble. As I have mentioned before, baking isn’t my thing, but crumbles are pretty easy for just about anyone. So since blackberries have lots of good things in them do you think it negates the not-so-good things I also included in the recipe? Isn’t that the way cooking math is supposed to be? Hubby and T both enjoyed the blackberry crumble also, although T wasn’t feeling overly photogenic tonight (he approved this picture though).
Anyone-Can-Make-This Blackberry Crumble
I promise you can make this – you can easily substitute other types of berries if you like or mix multiple types together even. Whatever floats your boat. It’s just a very simple recipe I threw together.
- 2 cups fresh blackberries, rinsed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar (yes another one)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- pinch of salt
- French vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. In a small baking dish place the berries on the bottom. Sprinkle with the first 1/4 cup of sugar. If your berries are very sweet you can use less, adjust to your liking. Now sprinkle the lemon juice over the top. In a small bowl use a fork to combine flour, sugar, butter, and salt. Just smash & mix it around for a minute or two until it has just small lumps in it. Now sprinkle all over the top of the blackberries. Place on center rack of oven and bake for 40 minutes. Serve hot with a scoop of ice cream.

IN A SYSTEMATIC study of patients who had sustained battle injuries of the parieto-occipital lobes,1 we found 12 with spatial disorientation. The disorders ranged in severity from almost complete "space blindness" to conditions in which the defect seemed confined to homonymous halves, quadrants or even sectors of the fields of vision. Particularly the patients with sector defects presented highly consistent symptoms. However, none of the findings could readily be explained in terms of current theories of visual space perception. Before embarking on an analysis of our case material, we shall, therefore, trace some of the previous attempts at a neurologic and psychologic interpretation of disorders in the visual perception of spatial relations.
Prior to World War I, a disorder in the perception of spatial relations was considered part of a generalized disturbance in intellectual function. Loss of orientation in space as well as the inability to localize objects in

Londoner, Nick Gentry takes the notion that one manâ€™s junk being anotherâ€™s treasure to new levels with his Floppy Disk art, that is as you can imagine, created using old floppy disks as his medium. Relying on donations, Gentry begins the process by grid-mapping a preliminary sketch, each section being the size of one disk, before applying spray paint using a stencil.
The disks are then arranged tonally to create a the collage-like â€˜portraits,â€™ some using as little as six individual disks whilst bigger pieces require up to 100. Finishing details are then added using oil paints. Gentry points out that he is careful to preserve the label and metal slider, and the metal circular hub on the back of the disk, which often works as a metaphor for the human eyeâ€¦

With Sunday night's WWE Fastlane 2018 results official, WWE fans saw several superstars that were underdogs ahead of the pay-per-view walk away victorious. The latest SmackDown Live brand event's match winners were mostly the favorites. That included WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, and the WWE Champion AJ Styles, both of whom were large favorites heading into their title defenses. However, two matches presented underdog winners, one of which produced a new champion.
According to WWE Leaks' report, "The Viper" Randy Orton was a +250 underdog heading into his match against United States Champion Bobby Roode. The "Glorious" champion was a -350 favorite. However, fans got a surprise as Orton defied the expectations and hit another RKO out of nowhere. With that, he captured a championship that he's never held before and became WWE's 18th Grand Slam champion. His surprising victory also paid out $250 for every $100 bet on him ahead of the match.
The other underdog winners came in a match with less on the line. In a women's tag team match which was set up the week of the pay-per-view, Carmella and her new friend Natalya defeated the team of Becky Lynch and Naomi. Most likely, WWE will simply continue this feud in the weeks leading to WrestleMania 34, with the potential for a women's battle royal at the big PPV. Carmella could also be cashing in her briefcase very soon, perhaps at Mania.
WWE Fastlane 2018 Results:
- Shinsuke Nakamura -3,600 def. Rusev
- Charlotte Flair -2,300 def. Ruby Riott
- AJ Styles -2,000 def. Cena, Corbin, Zayn, Owens, Ziggler
- Randy Orton +250 def. Bobby Roode
- The Usos -260 def. The New Day
- Carmella and Natalya +130 def. Becky Lynch & Naomi
Fans will be paying attention to the upcoming Raw and SmackDown Live episodes to see what develops heading into the big pay-per-view. That event is scheduled for Sunday, April 11, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Engineers Slam Internet ‘Censorship’ Bill Ahead of Key Senate Panel Vote
Internet entrepreneurs are in a panic over a fast-tracking Senate bill they say will censor the Web, stifle Silicon Valley startups, damage the United States’ credibility on free speech and ultimately trigger the creation of an alternate-universe Internet.
The West Coast engineers say they were blindsided last Monday when the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act was introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill, which could come up for a vote as early as Thursday, has a bipartisan roster of co-sponsors who say it will be a tool for stopping the worst offenders in the world of online piracy.
The bill would give the attorney general new powers to shut down websites deemed dedicated to counterfeit material — by going through the courts and by encouraging service providers to go after sites the Justice Department puts on a public blacklist.
According to the bill, a website would have to be “dedicated to infringing activities” to trigger the enforcement.
But Internet advocates warn the legislation would open a door for a handful of people in the federal government to wantonly power off entire websites that may be operating legally under current law. Though senators suggest the bill would save jobs by cracking down on piracy, critics say it will hurt the economy by threatening fledgling companies whenever copyrighted material shows up on their sites.
“If this bill had been law five or 10 years ago, there’s a good chance that YouTube would no longer be around,” Peter Eckersley, senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told FoxNews.com.
Eckersley said the bill would mark a drastic departure from current law by allowing the government not just to strip copyrighted material off an offending website, but to order the shutdown of a domain name altogether.
Eighty-seven engineers who played a role in the creation of the Internet have sent a letter to the Judiciary Committee urging it to sideline the bill.
“If enacted, this legislation will risk fragmenting the Internet’s global domain name system (DNS), create an environment of tremendous fear and uncertainty for technological innovation, and seriously harm the credibility of the United States in its role as a steward of key Internet infrastructure,” they wrote. “All censorship schemes impact speech beyond the category they were intended to restrict, but this bill will be particularly egregious in that regard because it causes entire domains to vanish from the Web, not just infringing pages or files. Worse, an incredible range of useful, law-abiding sites can be blacklisted under this bill.”
The bill’s authors, co-sponsors and supporters disagree. They say it’s dedicated to the worst-of-the-worst — that the Justice Department could not shut down a site without first winning approval from a federal court and that the bill protects website operators by giving them the opportunity to remove pirating activity to get their site back online.
“No one would dispute that online infringement and counterfeiting of American intellectual property drains the American economy and costs American jobs,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who introduced the bill, said in a written statement Wednesday. “No one would defend websites, primarily based overseas, that are dedicated to infringing activities. We continue (to) welcome input from everyone on the best way to attack the problem, but ignoring the problem, or saying it is too complicated, can no longer be an option.”
The bill has broad bipartisan support on the committee, including that of Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch. Thirteen of the 16 committee members are co-sponsors, giving the bill a strong chance of passing if it comes up for a vote Thursday before the Senate adjourns.
Critics are crying foul, saying the panel has not scheduled a hearing for the bill, but committee spokeswoman Erica Chabot noted that the panel held an oversight hearing on intellectual property enforcement in June.
“You can have hearings before you introduce a bill,” she said, stressing that Leahy and the co-sponsors are continuing to talk with “stakeholders on all sides.”
The biggest supporters of, and contributors to, the proposal come from the business and entertainment communities.
The AFL-CIO, which supports the bill, claims movie and music pirating costs more than 200,000 jobs. A fact sheet put out by the Senate Judiciary Committee claimed intellectual property theft, some occurring on foreign websites, costs the U.S. economy more than $100 billion annually.
Steve Tepp, a piracy expert for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the censorship claims are off-base.
“This bill is a bipartisan effort that targets sites engaged in activities that all 153 countries in the WTO have agreed are illegal,” he said. “These websites have no place in a legitimate online market. … This legislation provides a critically needed tool to try to address what is globally acknowledged as criminal activity to protect America’s economic interests.”
The Screen Actors Guild and several other entertainment industry groups released a joint statement commending the co-sponsors and claiming the bill would be aimed at “rogue websites” dedicated to “stealing” movies and music.
Specifically, the bill would let the attorney general go through federal court to try to shut down an offending website. If the court approves, the service provider would be required to “suspend” and “lock” the domain name. Those sites would be listed on a public website. Separately, the attorney general would start another public list of offending websites that have not been ordered shut down; the Justice Department would provide immunity to any service provider that takes action against them.
Eckersley called this “outright censorship” and rattled off the names of several prominent file-sharing and file-storing sites — RapidShare, Dropbox, MediaFire — that could be affected. He said sites like YouTube would probably survive, but new companies similar to it could easily fall victim to the bill if it becomes law. Plus, he said, people who store files like pictures and music online could, in the stroke of a judge’s pen, see those files disappear.
“It’s one thing to take down an infringing file. It’s another to bully an entire ecosystem of people who are trying to innovate, and that’s what this bill is trying to do,” he said. “The senators who are well-intentioned haven’t realized how much of the astonishing economic value of the Internet they’re putting at risk here.”
An advocacy group that opposes the bill, Demand Progress, claims 50,000 people have signed its online petition against the bill.
“Censoring the Internet is something we’d expect from China or Iran, not the U.S. Senate,” the protest petition says.
Engineers and free-speech advocates have suggested the bill would undermine efforts to press China to unlock the Internet. Plus they warn of a scenario in which engineers will circumvent the law by creating a black-market Internet where outlawed sites could be accessed.
This could create two conflicting Internet worlds, where some sites are accessible to some users and others are not; where commerce, some legitimate, happens in one world and not in the other.
“Errors and divergences will appear,” the 87 engineers warned in their letter. “Contradictory addresses will confuse browsers and frustrate the people using them.”
Eckersley had a simpler way to describe it: “Chaos.”

By Neeraj Mohan
Driven by the heightened international demand and price rise, the export of basmati has been on the upswing for the third consecutive year. The ascending prices of long-grain premium basmati varieties in global markets have yielded substantial profits for traders and farmers.
The export statistics provided by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) underline the growth trajectory of India’s basmati rice, with exports and trade steadily expanding year after year. Between the April-August periods of 2021-22 and 2023-24, the rice trade in international markets has witnessed a staggering 71 per cent upswing, generating a whopping Rs 7,620.32 crore. In the current fiscal, the basmati exports have reached Rs 18,310.35 crore, with the country exporting 20.10 lakh metric tonnes (LMT).
In comparison, the corresponding period in 2022-23, saw the basmati rice exports of Rs 15,452.44 crore, with the shipping of 18.75 LMT. Similarly, in 2021-22, India exported 17.02 LMT of basmati rice, generating Rs 10,690.03 crore. The export swelled despite a broader decline in India’s agricultural exports, attributed to the government’s restrictions on wheat, non-basmati rice and sugar exports. The All India Rice Exporters Association (AIREA) reports an optimistic outlook for global rice production, anticipated to reach 54.225 million tonnes, mainly attributable to improved yields in both India and Brazil.
Vijay Setia, the former president of AIREA, says: “Export of basmati rice is on the rise, and traders are highly active due to growing demand. We anticipate a substantial uptick this year, underscored by a surge in orders from Middle Eastern nations, signifying positive market dynamics”.
Ongoing paddy harvest in key basmati-producing states like Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh has been particularly lucrative for basmati growers, with traditional basmati prices exceeding beyond Rs 6,000 per quintal, and other premium varieties like Pusa 1121, 1718, and Moochal fetching around Rs 4,500 per quintal. The sudden spike in Basmati paddy in grain markets of northern parts of the country followed the Central Government’s decision to reduce the minimum export price (MEP) for long-grain basmati rice from $1,200 per tonne to $950 per tonne on October 23.
The average export prices of basmati rice in international market has witnessed a sudden increase in the past one year as it has reached to around $1,050 per tonne against $850-900 per tonne in 2021 and 2022. But, the spike in export is likely to affect the basmati rice prices in the domestic market as well, as the traders are focused on exports.

A treat to cleanse the palate on a slow Wednesday afternoon. Before this, I don’t know that I’d ever seen a truly good Biden impression. (I’ve never seen a great one.) The almost irresistible temptation when impersonating him would be to resort to a broad parody of senility, but that would end up off the mark. Biden rarely seems like he’s so far gone that he doesn’t know what day it is.
But he often seems like his train of thought is perilously close to running off the rails.
That’s one thing that makes Carvey’s spoof good. He’s got Biden’s mien and cadence dialed in well enough but the laughs come from the degree to which he dissolves into casual gibberish. The other clever element lies in which Biden he chose to satirize. Sleepy Joe’s most memorable moments are when he turns into a daffy loudmouth, challenging some heckler to a push-up contest or whatever, but you rarely see that side of him anymore like you did in his younger days. Nowadays we’re more apt to get the soft-spoken, grandfatherly “healer” persona. And that’s the one Carvey has fun with, shrewdly.
SNL should bring him back sporadically to reprise this. I don’t know how many skits can be squeezed from a single joke about the president descending into affable incoherence, but let’s find out.
By the way, if you’re my age and grew up watching Carvey on SNL, here’s a fun fact to make you feel very, very old: He’s not that much younger than Joe Biden himself. In my mind he’s perpetually in the heyday of his early 30s but in reality he’s 65. Consider this clip an amusing memento mori.
Carvey is so much better than anyone SNL has had doing Bidenpic.twitter.com/Wyw18cfE8n

Abu Dhabi carrier may sell Aer Lingus stake
- Abu Dhabis Etihad Airways reports net profits of $73m for 2014, a rise of 52.1 per cent
- Revenues reached $7.6bn in 2014, up 26.7 per cent
- Etihad reported to be preparing to sell a 4.99 per cent stake in Irish Aer Lingus
Abu Dhabis Etihad Airways has recorded a net profit of $73m in 2014, up 52.1 per cent on 2013 profits.
Revenues rose 26.7 per cent to $7.6bn in 2014.
Etihad carried 14.8 million passengers in 2014, a year-on-year increase of 22.3 per cent.
Press reports have claimed that Etihad is preparing to sell its stake in Irelands Aer Lingus, which it increased to 4.99 per cent in 2014.
The Financial Times reported in March that British International Airlines Group (IAG) had made an 1.35bn offer for the stake. The Irish government has now given its approval.
However, the annual earnings statement called this and similar minority stakes a key driver of Etihad Airways growth in 2014.
The partnership strategy is based on codeshares, which share routes with other airlines, and minority equity investments.
These minority stakes contributed revenues of $1.1bn in 2014, an increase of 37.7 per cent year on year, and represented 24 per cent of Etihads total passenger revenues.
This has accelerated network growth, giving Etihad Airways the largest route network of any Middle Eastern carrier, reaching more than 500 destinations. It has boosted sales and marketing opportunities in key markets, as well as allowing significant business synergies and cost savings, the statement continues.
In 2014, Etihad acquired 49 per cent investment in Air Serbia. It also invested 560 million to acquire a 49 per cent shareholding in Italian New Alitalia, and the future purchase of five pairs of London Heathrow Airport slots for lease back to Alitalia.
Etihad also has minority stakes in Indian Jet Airways and Virgin Australia, which it increased to 22.9 per cent in 2014. An investment in Swiss-based Etihad Regional, operated by Darwin Airline, has now been formalised after Swiss Government approval earlier this year.
Cargo revenues were up 19.2 per cent to US$ 1.1 billion, with freight and mail volumes rising from 487,000 to 569,000 tonnes.

REVIEW – I love me a good desktop multitasker, and the Aspen DockAll D115 promises to do all the things. This phone stand charges wirelessly plays your music and more from one device. How does it To the review!
What is it?
It’s a phone stand that includes wireless charging, stereo speakers, and a microphone for phone calls. It also has additional USB ports for other devices.
- 15 Super Fast Qi Wireless Charging
- 3 charging coils for vertical & horizontal device orientations and larger devices
- Bluetooth Hi-Fi stereo
- Integrated omnidirectional microphone
- 2 USB ports
- Micro-SD port
- 1.6 pounds
Design and features
The Aspen DockAll D115 is a good looking addition to your desktop, countertop, or bookshelf. It’s clean black design with aluminum highlights blends in nicely with the decor.
It’s also nice and compact. I have an iPhone XS Max in it’s case set in the cradle here for reference.
Your phone sits at a fixed angle on the stand which is ideal for viewing.
The DockAll is a Qi-enabled wireless charger with three wireless coils built vertically into the panel. That means that you can use it for multiple sized devices in either vertical or horizontal orientation and still hit your charging spot. I also like the addition of the little bumpers on the panel and the shelf for phone protection.
Just below the shelf are your controls. You’ll connect your device via Bluetooth. Once connected, you’ll find the usual collection of audio controls (volume up/down, previous/next track, play/pause, and phone activation).
And then you get your speakers. You’ll see them on either side near the base. There are additional bass ports on the back side of the unit.
Speaking of the back side… you’ve got more options for connections here. There are two USB ports for charging and a Micro-SD port.
You’ll fire up your favorite music or podcast app, then use the controls to manipulate all of your performance needs.
If you have an incoming call, you press the phone button to answer and disconnect. Audio comes through the speakers and the microphone does its thing.
The Aspen DockAll D115 executes all of those multitasking functions pretty well, but the integration has some good and bad points that aren’t dissimilar to other speakers and headphones I’ve tested in the past.
Audio quality is pretty good for what it is. It’s not a high-end system, but the stereo quality is clear and bright with a broad volume range. The front-panel controls are nice and easy to access and provide a basic range of functions.
If you have an incoming call, you press the phone button to answer. It’s actually pretty good for conference calls. The microphone is fine for what it is and incoming audio is clear. I did not hear any issues from folks on the other side of the call in my testing.
I have noticed that there are some quirks with the volume controls. It actually has better volume refinement than the iPhone default settings (think 20 volume levels as opposed to the 10 or so that the iPhone manages), but it tends to default to a very loud volume when first connected. That means I am usually having to dial down the loudness right after pairing. Once you’re connected, however, the stereo is good and the onboard controls allow for nice adjustment levels.
I’ve also noticed that the Bluetooth automatically disconnects if the phone sits in the cradle without playing for 5 minutes or so. You just need to press “play” on the panel controls to reconnect, but this can be annoying if you’re popping back and forth between web conferences and playing your stuff. There’s also a power button on the back that you can hit to stop all charging and pairing.
The call management is very similar to wireless earbuds or other Bluetooth speakers. It works when it comes to answering calls, but sometimes it’s just easier to use the phone’s native controls.
The extra USB ports are great. I’m always looking for another charging port for headphones and devices, and it’s nice to have these ports integrated into the unit to save desktop space and/or room on my power strips.
What I like
- Good looking, compact desktop/countertop accessory
- Great audio quality
- Wireless charging for multiple device sizes
- Extra USB charging ports are a nice plus for peripherals and accessories
What needs to be improved
- Call management functions could be better
The Aspen DockAll D115 is a solid multitasker that does a good job of incorporating multiple functions into one desktop accessory. The charging functions are great. Some of the integrations are a little quirky but no better or worse than other Bluetooth speakers.

What kind of comfort do you like, and can you convert it to using turkey? Whether you are looking for something lower in fat or have a picky eater in the house, I can honestly say that we choose turkey most of the time when it comes to using ground meat and I'm often making over recipes. Let me know what kind of comfort food you make with turkey in the comments below between now and November 21st, and you will have yourself entered to win a prize pack in the photo below! (see the very bottom of this post for the rules)
|Pack includes: a zippered, insulated grocery bag, silicone oven mitt, a meatballer, sweatshirt, and recipe booklet|
Shepherd's pie is usually made with ground beef or lamb, but my family's favorite version is made with ground turkey thigh. Thighs are better as they stay much moister in this dish. With a whole 3 cups of vegetable and a topping of creamy lemon scented potatoes, this is one shepherd's pie your kids with love. You can bake it in one large casserole dish or portion it out into single sized servings and let everyone have their own.
|Mini pies can be fun for kids, right?|
1 lb ground turkey (thighs, preferably)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 cup canned corn, drained (or frozen, thawed and drained)
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
1/2 cup green beans, chopped into 1 inch pieces, thawed and drained
3/4 cup carrots (either frozen or fresh, peeled and chopped into pea-sized pieces)
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp chili sauce
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 green onion, chopped (green bits only)
2 tbsp butter
1/4 - 1/3 cup milk, warmed in the microwave until hot
Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
Place the potatoes in a saucepan over medium heat and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender.
Meanwhile, using a large skillet, fry the onions in a little olive oil until softened. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant. Push the onions to one side of the pan and add the turkey, pushing around the pan and breaking apart with a spoon. When the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink, drain off any fat, then add the paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano. Continue to stir and cook for about another minute, then take off the heat and stir in the fresh sage and thyme.
If you are using fresh carrots, microwave them with a little bit of water on high until they are tender crisp. Drain well. Stir corn, peas,beans, and carrots into the cooked ground turkey mixture.
In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and flour until smooth. Stir into the turkey and vegetable mixture over medium low heat and continue to stir, cooking, for about 5 minutes while it thickens up and coats the meat and vegetables.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain well and then return to the pot. Mash in about 2 tbsp of unsalted butter, then add milk and mash until smooth. Zest the lemon right over the pot to get about 1 tbsp of lemon zest into the potatoes, and sprinkle the chopped bits of green onion into it. Give everything a good stir, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spread the meat mixture into a shallow 2 quart casserole dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over top, right to the edges. Bake for 25 minutes, until heated through and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Serves 4-6 people
Contest is open between November 12, 2012 and November 19, 2012.
One entry per person.
Must be the age of majority and be a resident of Canada.

The FS4100 are general-purpose mass flow sensors with various ranges from 2 SLPM up to 50 SLPM, with analog and digital outputs.
The FS4100 mass flow sensors are an upgraded version of the 3rd generation FS4000 sensors that were first released in 2008. The series covers a wide dynamic flow range with a working pressure rating of up to 5 bar (73 psi), and a compensated temperature range from -10°C to 55°C.
The sensors are designed with an easy change of mechanical connectors. The standard connectors are BSPT 1/4" or one-touch connectors, and other customized ones are available upon request.
The sensing elements are manufactured with Siargo’s proprietary MEMS thermal mass flow sensing technology (Thermal‐D®) that measures the calorimetry and diffusivity of the flow medium. The sensor surface is passivated with silicon nitride ceramic materials and water/oilproof nano‐coating for performance and reliability. Compared to the conventional calorimetric flow sensing technology, this unique sensing approach offers better linearity, removes gas sensitivity for gases with similar thermal diffusivities, and improves temperature performance. It can also auto‐recognize pre‐programmed gases with significant differences in thermal diffusivity. It is the first in the industry that senses the mass flow with multiple gases without a manual gas conversion factor. As such, it ensures high precision for gas measurements with air calibration.
Thermal-D ® is a trademark of Siargo’s thermal sensing technology.
