Sleep Tight
Lorna's Silence (Le silence de Lorna)
Arta Dobroshi, Jérémie Rénier, Fabrizio Rongione, Alban Ukaj, Morgan Marinne, Olivier Gourmet, Anton Yakovlev, Grigori Manukov
(Sony Pictures Classics)
US theatrical: 31 Jul 2009 (Limited release)
UK theatrical: 28 Nov 2008 (General release)
Lorna (Arta Dobroshi) lies in her bed, lights out, the camera close. She's not asleep, and she's annoyed when she hears Claudy (Jérémie Renier) at the door. The frame keeps still on Lorna as she tosses, turning her back to the camera. "I want to talk," he pleads quietly, unseen, "Let me in." She refuses, he persists. "I can stick it out this time if you help me. Promise me…" She sits up in bed and the frame follows, her face barely outlined and her shoulder pale in the dark. "Let me sleep, Claudy!" He doesn't answer, and she lies back, face down.
It's a seemingly simple moment, revealing tension and frustration, vulnerability and limits. What's striking here is how the scene conveys such emotional complexities in images at once gorgeously impressionistic and devastatingly concrete. If Lorna's face here is obscured, the outline of her back shows how she feels, depressed and alone, unsure what to do. In both its multiplicity of meaning and straightforwardness, the scene, like others in Lorna's Silence (Le silence de Lorna), as well as previous films by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (including two Palme d'Or winners, Rosetta [1999] and The Child [2005])—reminds you of the daunting power of art, taken seriously.
The movie follows Lorna's evolving sense of herself—as she comes to see her silence as a means of self-destruction rather than preservation. This shift in her thinking is indicated in the ways you see her conduct daily tasks, as she heads to work at a dry cleaning shop in the utterly gray and industrial Liège, or to a public phone facility so she might call her itinerant worker boyfriend Sokol (Alban Ukaj). In each case, the camera hovers low and near, either just behind or just in front of her. Lorna imagines she has control of her routine, that if she only keeps to the plan—wherein she and Sokol will scrape together enough money to buy and run a snack shop—she can overlook the pathway to achieve it.
That pathway includes her marriage to Claudy, called "the junkie" by her pimpish partner Fabio (Fabrizio Rongione). A smalltime gangster with big ideas, he's arranged for her to be married to Claudy just long enough to get her Belgian citizenship, after which she will be more valuable to future clients, like the wealthy Russian who is looking to acquire his own Belgian identity papers. Though Lorna agreed upfront that the marriage to Claudy would be ended by his death—an overdose made to look accidental—now she's having second thoughts. "Will the police believe it?" she asks Fabio during one of their clandestine meetings in the cab he drives, for cover and rent mone. "Of course they will," he assures her, "Junkies quit go back and OD all the time."
Still, Lorna worries. Not only about the flimsiness of the plan, but also, increasingly, about the implications, her involvement with the murder of someone she's come to see as a person instead of a mark. Hence her frustration over Claudy's sincere efforts to get straight and pleas that she help him: she doesn't want to like this scrawny, clumsy, chain-smoking kid, but she's starting to do it anyway. This annoys Sokol and Fabio for different and related reasons. But the more they insist that she stick to the plan, the harder that course becomes.
In this context, Claudy is a kind of objective correlative, an emblem of Lorna's emotional and ethical turmoil more than a character in himself. His desperation and eagerness to please her make her squirm, but also represent her own possibility for another sort of life, with a partner who cares for her, almost too deeply. Asking when she'll be home that evening, so he can make dinner, a sign of his appreciation, Claudy jiggles, "I need to know, to set myself a goal for the day." She sighs, imagining her independence threatened. But then she begins to see otherwise, focusing on keeping him alive, through negotiations with Fabio and Sokol, seeking a "quickie" divorce instead of the more dire option.
This pursuit involves another sort of charade, in which she claims her junkie husband is abusing her. She stages injuries to herself, arriving at the hospital with bruises and well-considered lies, while trying to get the legal wheels in motion. Her self-abuse suggests how she's feeling about her relationships with Fabio and Sokol, whose cocky posturing and cruel demands are harder and harder to bear. These relationships are aptly rendered in jaggedy fragments—a passionate kiss in a parking lot, goodbye to Sokol, on his way to yet another of his jobs across a border, or various minutes-long meetings with Fabio, her pleas for more time or appointments with potential clients who want to check out the wife they're purchasing.
But as these scenes turn increasingly disjointed, Lorna (and Dobroshi's superb performance) centers the film. If she keeps her silence, appearing serene but writhing inside, she survives. If she speaks, she risks her life. Unlike the men around her, she feels what's wrong in their shady business, and when she sees that felling mirrored back to her in Claudy's needy and also weirdly generous form, she has to make choices she hasn't anticipated. Even as the camera follows her, it never quite keeps up, though it's unclear whether she's eluding your interpretation or her own.

I never thought I would write a letter praising the VA health care system, but Salt Lake's George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center is as good as any hospital I have ever visited.
If the care we give our recent vets is as good as I received with my hip and knee replacements, our vets from the wars in the Middle East will be well-served.
Super bravo to the folks who work and practice medicine there. Thanks to all.

A company that fired a worker after she posted negative remarks about her boss on Facebook, discussed in an earlier post, has settled a complaint brought by the National Labor Relations Board by agreeing to revamp its rules to ensure they don't restrict workers' rights.
The case involving the employer, American Medical Response of Connecticut Inc. and the employee, Dawnmarie Souza, had become a test of how much latitude employees may have when posting comments about work matters from their home computers on social media sites such as Facebook.
When the National Labor Relations Board issued its complaint about the firing last fall, it alleged the firing was illegal because the online posting constituted "protected concerted activity" under the National Labor Relations Act. That law allows employees to discuss the terms and conditions of their employment with co-workers and others, and the employee involved in the case had posted comments about her supervisor and responded to further comments from her co-workers.
The NLRB had also alleged the company maintained and enforced overly broad rules in its employee handbook regarding blogging, Internet posting, and communications between employees.
Under the terms of the settlement the company agreed to revise its rules. The company agreed not to discipline or discharge employees for engaging in discussions about wages and other work issues when not on the job. As part of the settlement with the NLRB, the company also promised that employee requests for union representation will not be denied in the future and that employees will not be threatened with discipline for requesting union representation.

speedo just up n quit
puttin down the road when my 66's speedo just went limp. both ends are connected. what are the odds it's the speedo vs. the cable breaking? my experience with cables takin a crap is they bounce up and down for a few days and make a whining sound as they go then snap. this just was working one second and not like 3 seconds later. stays on zero now.
check the cable first, then the gear in the tranny & then the speedo........joe
I've had a few speedo cables die on me, and they've always made that REALLY annoying whining noise before they snapped. However, there could have been a weak spot in the cable that caused it to snap, but I would expect that to make some kind of noise anyway. IMO it's not the cable (unless it was a really quiet death ). My guess would be that it's related to the gear in the tranny.
damned tranny gear.
well, there goes another post up in flames as i pressed the new thread button instead of reply.
hey chickee, didn't know you actually knew anything about cars since i guess i'm just used to seeing your posts in the lounge, but that was my thinking too, i always got that horrible noise when the cable broke, which makes me think of the worst. i never changed a gear before but think it's a peice of cake. will remove the cable from the tranny and put a drill on it and see if the speedo moves and if not pull out the cable as see if it's connected. i really dont want to replace the speedo, not with a stock unit, which means a whole set of auto meter white face gauges for the dash. well, hell, it's only freakin money.
since i may have your 4jc attention, why is it that canadian girls are so nice (real) than american gals who seem to be such god-aweful beeotches??? the biggest RAG i ever met was in perth australia of all places, but all the rest live in san diego, esp ocean and pacific beaches. when i left that town after a year of living there i would slam doors in girls' faces if they were behind me rather than hold the door open cause the whores would walk iright by you while looking the other way like it was my fking JOB to hold the door open. death to all san diego women!!!
more than likely it's just the plastic gear in the tranny. just unscrew the ferrule nut, pull the cable and gear out. the cable is square on the end and chances are it rounded out the hole in the plastic gear. just a couple of bucks to fix.
Awwww, jeez Bullheimer, now I'm all embarrassed.
Yeah, I do know a little something about cars, not anywhere near what my brilliant (slightly demented) husband knows, but I have my shining moments. (I also don't like to open my mouth unless I'm sure of what I am saying.) You see, growing up in the 70's I was exposed to muscle cars, hot rods, street rods, motorcycles, snowmobiles. Almost every guy I knew was into cars, including Chuck. It's impossible to grow up not knowing a little something about cars. Not to mention the fact that I do drive them and I think I should at least know the basics so I'm not left stranded somewhere in the middle of the winter when it's 35 degrees below Celcius.
We used to have an '84 Bronco II (please let's not go there...), one year I had new tires put on the rear, but the idiots that did it were too lazy to wire brush the rust off the rims first. As a result I had to change the same tire 4 times (being 6 months pregnant) @ 7 in the morning before I could go to work. (We lived in the country then, 1/2 hour from the nearest town in any direction). And those are heavy tires!! I finally took it back to the idiots that did them in the first place and stood over them to be sure they did it right.
Hey Kevin 45, nice to see you back, hope all goes well with your recovery. I agree, it's probably one of those plastic gears that are designed to self-destruct after so many miles.
Doesn't it make you wonder why everything has to be plastic these days? Whatever happened to good old quality, of getting what you expect instead of some cheap replacement pos.
Why are Canadian girls so nice? Gee, I don't know, are we? I mean, I know my fair share of B****** too. I guess we're just more down to earth because we aren't as wealthy per capita and therefore don't have access to all the corruptive influences, such as plastic surgery and european health spas. Or maybe it's because we don't have as much smog up here so our brain cells have a higher survival rate.
Oh and Bullheimer, you can have my attention anytime you want baby, just PM me.

FSU's Winston bats vs. Yankees
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston had a chance to play against the best in baseball, too.
Florida State's quarterback in the fall, Winston entered the Seminoles' exhibition game against the New York Yankees on Tuesday in the fifth inning as the left fielder. He then grounded out to second base in the sixth inning while facing minor leaguer Shane Greene.
Winston took two called strikes from Greene before getting a loud cheer when he shattered his bat on a grounder that went foul. On the next pitch, Winston hit a groundball to second.
The 6-foot-4, 230 pound sophomore has allowed one hit over four scoreless innings in three games as the Seminoles' closer this season.
He played in the field twice previously this year, getting a hit in his lone at-bat.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres have had discussions to lift the interim tag from coach Ted Nolan's title. Goalie Ryan Miller's future in Buffalo beyond next week appears less certain.
That's the update general manager Tim Murray provided during a news conference before the Sabres' 3-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Murray revealed he's had discussions with Nolan about keeping him on as the team's full-time coach beyond this season. Following the game, Nolan declined to shed further light on the status of talks when informed of Murray's' comments.
As for Miller, Murray said he's shopping the star goalie with the intention of trading him before the NHL's trade deadline on March 5.

On the morning of Friday, Aug. 30, freshmen and transfer students began making their way to Monteagle Ridge. Upon entering campus, they were greeted by their peers and university staff members anxious to ease any anxiety felt by the newest Purple Eagles as they nestled into their new "homes."
After all, the theme for Niagara University's Move-In Weekend (Aug. 30 – Sept. 2) was "Keep Calm and Soar On," a takeoff on the British government's 1930s-era catchphrase that has been rediscovered and imitated frequently, especially in social media.
"We wanted to use a slogan that's familiar to our undergraduate student population, and that also accentuates the idea that they should feel comfortable right away, despite being the newest members of our campus. At Niagara, we call ourselves a community and we take pride in practicing what we preach" said Kevin Hearn, Ph.D., vice president for student affairs.
Following lunch, the NU Class of 2017 gathered in the O'Shea Quad, clad in "Got Purple?" t-shirts and ready to carry on a relatively new tradition, assembling in the shape of a giant "NU!"
From there, it was off to the Gallagher Center for the New Student Convocation, the 11th annual installment of the university's ceremonial welcome to the newest members of its community.
Among the convocation's speakers were the Rev. James J. Maher, C.M., Niagara president; Tim Downs, Ph.D., vice president for academic affairs; the Rev. Kevin G. Creagh, C.M., vice president of campus ministry; Robert Kane, Ph.D., history professor and 2012 recipient of NU's Excellence in Teaching Award; Stefanie Wichhart, Ph.D., associate professor of history and coordinator of NU Beginnings; Michael J. McDonald, '91; and senior Matthew Nadler, president of the Niagara University Student Government Association, who led the freshmen in a recitation of the NU Student Creed.

"Suck the marrow out of this place because when it's gone, it's gone," advised McDonald, a national sales leader with Deloitte and father of three current NU students. "More than anything else, be happy. Love where you are. This is a wonderful place."
"Take the time to enjoy Niagara," Nadler added. "As you begin the next four years, I assure you that they'll be filled with happiness and sadness. Make those memories."
The more than 700 freshmen obliged, bidding parents and loved ones farewell before taking part in a weekend chock full of community-building activities.
The students headed off to their first class – "NUB," a course designed to introduce new students to the culture and heritage of Niagara – and then congregated for another staple of Fall Orientation, the Walk to Whirlpool State Park. The evening continued with the Niagara men's soccer game, open gym and ice skating, and even moonlight bingo.
View photos from the Walk to Whirlpool State Park
And that was just Friday. Saturday was geared toward academics, at least for the early portion of the day, with students attending college meetings and rotating through sessions on campus policies and procedures. By 4 p.m., the focus was back on fellowship, as NU hosted a picnic and carnival until the sun subsided, at which time the O'Shea Quad turned into a "glow party."
Social media was abuzz with student and parent reactions to the red carpet – check that – purple carpet hospitality that was presented during move-in weekend at Niagara.
"What a well put together and successfully executed move in day!! Thank you," Judy Burgeson, mother of freshman Steele Burgeson, posted on Facebook.
"Had the most amazing day at @NiagaraUniv setting up my room," tweeted Katherine Curigliano, '17. "You guys sure know how to make a girl feel welcome."
Twitter user @ruralteacherNY was also impressed, posting, "@NiagaraUniv Thanks for a smooth move in process and thanks for all the activities planned for NSO proud mom of member of class of 2017."
Zach Monell, a freshman from Lockport, was one of many who utilized the #OnTheRidge hashtag to join the online conversation.
"SO much fun at Fall Orientation @NiagaraUniv #ontheridge."
Meanwhile, Niagara alumni took to social media to reminisce about their four years on The Ridge, lamenting that they were elsewhere as the fall semester got underway.
"Still wishing I was back at @NiagaraUniv starting another year of college #goodoledays #alwaysapurpleeagle" tweeted Joshua Jensen, '10.
"So jealous of everyone moving into @NiagaraUniv," typed Ashley Dilcher, '13. "I miss it every day!! Such an amazing campus and great apartments!"
Of the Walk to Whirlpool, Roxanne (Burke) Smith, '75, joked on Facebook, "Back in '75, before fires was discovered, we walked in costumes and tie dyed shirts etc., but we never got a picnic. We got there, turned around and went back!"
By Labor Day morning, upperclassmen were arriving on campus, exchanging hugs and handshakes with classmates, many of whom they hadn't seen since May.
"I can't believe I'm a senior already," remarked Tim Gray on Sept. 3, the first day of classes. "Time certainly flies when you're having fun."

Any opinions on which is better? Magento, or Woocommerce? I would like to hear your experiences.
Depends on what you are using it for. WP is more user friendly, easier to understand and more agile in terms if creating a site with commerce as much as pure commerce. Magento is great but it takes getting used to, is harder to develop and is more aimed at grander scale pure commerce solutions.

Power restored for Idaho Falls
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Power was out for about an hour in eastern Idaho Falls on Friday afternoon.
More than 500 customers were affected, including the Grand Teton Mall and other businesses nearby.
Although the city had earlier estimated it might take up to eight hours to fix the problem, lights were back on in about an hour.
Idaho Falls Power Assistant General Manager Bear Prairie said the problem lay with a failed underground line from Sugar Mill substation to the distribution system. Another substation now handling the load.
The pole with the failed component is burned but OK. The point of failure is isolated and will be reviewed Monday.

Three databases are currently maintained.
• To develop a program of internationally-comparable indicators of entrepreneurship, its determinants and its impacts, to inform policy-analysis and policy-making. This activity is called Entrepreneurship Indicators Program (EIP).
Objectives and outputs
• The databases on structural business statistics (SSIS) and (BSC), updated through a joint questionnaire with UNIDO, contain annual data on core economic variables, relating to both industry and services, at a very detailed level of ISIC revision 3 (up to the 4th digit level). They cover such variables as production, value added, investment, number of enterprises, employment, wages and salaries, and hours worked. Statistics are derived mainly from structural business surveys, censuses and administrative sources.
• The BSC database contains this information broken down by enterprise size class.
• Business Demography statistics include indicators of birth, death and survival rates and high growth firms - all based on the Eurostat-OECD Manual on Business Demography Statistics published in 2007.
• The publication Entrepreneurship at a Glance, published annually, presents the original collection of business demography indicators and structural statistics on businesses by size class.
Non-member countries involved in the activity
• Brazil, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia Former
• SDBS - Business Demography Indicators
• SDBS – Structural Business Statistics
Main Developments for 2013
General aspects
• Expected improvements to SDBS statistics in 2013 include:
- the extension of the country coverage in the collection of comparable business demography statistics;
- the publication of the third issue of Entrepreneurship at a Glance in June 2013.
Data collection
• Extension of the country coverage in the collection of entrepreneurship statistics is expected. It is also expected that other entrepreneurship indicators will be identified and added.

I have the same issue with my siren. Like people have stated earlier, if you want a consistent sound, you might be better off getting a Piezo buzzer.
You may be right, but why hasn't anyone else been complaining about the weird half chip with this model then (its been used many times)?

|Will the jury ultimately convict Jodi Arias and put her to death for the brutal June 4, 2008 murder of Travis Alexander?
Medical experts testified that the gunshot to Travis Alexander's head occurred after he was dead, not before.
Jodi Arias says she was so traumatized from Travis Alexander's furious attack that she had no recollection of ever picking up a knife and stabbing the man she claimed she loved.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez has taken a "no holds barred" approach with Arias on the stand, who claims his aggressive demeanor has caused her memory issues on the stand. Jurors' have asked more than 200 questions in a move that is allowed under Arizona law, particularly in death penalty cases.
After Jodi Arias concludes cross-examination, the defense will present their final two witnesses who are expected to testify on Arias' behalf, bolstering her claims that she suffers from battered person's syndrome.

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were wary of publishing an alarmist report on climate change this year
Sarah Sakeena Marshall
When it comes to scientific discussions about climate change, there always seems to be controversy over how the data is interpreted. Currently, the UN's IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is due to publish their updated study on climate change, but are having a difficult time deciding what is appropriate to publish and what may sound "too alarmist." Meanwhile, a peer-reviewed study, partially funded by NASA, was recently released and points to the dire consequences of climate change inaction, actually projecting the potential for total social collapse.
In comparing the two pieces, it is essential to delve into the motives behind what suggestions are made in terms of responding to and mitigating the effects of climate change.
Hundreds of scientists, engineers, and economists have volunteered for the IPCC to unveil the trajectory of climate change action or inaction and suggest practical solutions on realistic time scales; yet based on the track record of many COPs (Conference of Parties), the world would prefer to do 'business as usual' and simply hope for the best. In fact, the new report has been largely criticised for suggesting mitigation strategies that may actually worsen climate change, such as the largely untested CCS (Carbon Capture and Sequestration) which pumps carbon back into the ground or another geological formation so that it will not enter the atmosphere.
The BBC has said that this report has been put "under the microscope" because of flaws published in previous reports that damaged the credibility of the organisation.
According to The Guardian, "The leaked draft concludes that 'essentially any' emissions target can be achieved 'regardless of the near‐term path' of overshoot 'by shifting emissions reductions to the future'."
This makes it seem as though as long as action is taken at some point, everything will be fine; whereas in reality, there is a point of no return where we will experience runaway warming. COP 21 has been anticipated as the conference where countries will finally commit to strict targets to reduce carbon emissions.
Though the IPCC does take into account socioeconomic circumstances, it does not deeply elaborate on the root causes of the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor, but only acknowledges that developing countries and the poor will be disproportionately affected by the consequences of climate change.
Food security issues are a major factor in both reports that could lead to social unrest, as crop yields are expected to lessen by 2%, leaving less available for consumption and increasing food prices.
In contrast, the HANDY (Human and Nature Dynamics) study ties ecological destruction to social stratification. The study "advances beyond existing biological dynamic population models by simultaneously modeling two separate important features which seem to appear across societies that have collapsed: (1) the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity, (2) the economic stratification of society into Elites and Masses (or 'Commoners')."
By delving into social as well as ecological issues, the study gives a more complete view of social collapse due to environmental destruction and references many historical examples, including the Roman Empire, Mayans, and Easter Island; all technologically advanced societies.
An interesting and necessary point that the HANDY study makes refers to technological efficiency, stating, "Technological change can raise the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to raise both per capita resource consumption and the scale of resource extraction, so that, absent policy effects, increase in consumption often compensate for the increased efficiency of resource use."
The HANDY model suggests a major rethink combined with immediate action, whereas the IPCC is still suggesting softer fixes that would avoid majorly affecting a nation's economy.
The point of view of both studies is starkly different, as the IPCC is concerned with cost-benefit analyses, while the HANDY study discusses the planet's carrying capacity, or the number of people able to be sustained in the current system. The IPCC has an obligation to be somewhat idealistic, as to report 'doom and gloom' would only cause more disagreements among nations regarding practical solutions, but to avoid the dire truth of the matter allows for perpetual complacency and inaction.
The HANDY study does leave room for hope as well, stating that, "Collapse can be avoided, and population can reach a steady state at maximum carrying capacity if the rate of depletion of nature is reduced to a sustainable level and if resources are distributed equitably."
What both studies expose is that the planet is reaching a point of no return in terms of runaway climate change. We will have to find ways to adapt, and be ready to take in masses of people whose homes will be underwater in the near future. The most important aspect to take away from these studies is that we as humans are not immune to repeating history.

Tinning a Barn Roof
Has anyone ever did this? I was wondering how much tin costs and if its hard to do. Actually its a corn crib and I don't want to put alot of money into new shingles but I need to do something with the roof soon.
Thanks! :)

The manufacturer is Fabral, I purchased it at our local Carter Lumber.
Best wishes,
Thanks Sfixx! Now I know where to start looking at least. That light grey at Carters site would match my house perfectly. Your shed looks really nice - almost too nice for my application. Mind if I ask how much that project set you back $ ?
Good luck,
Thanks for the reply Steve.:cool:
I am pinching every penny I can because I am building a new house on the property right now - and it isn't coming in on/under budget - imagine that.:rolleyes:
I would love to save my other buildings and make them look nice so I figured I could start with the roof this year, just to buy me some time, and do the siding in the next few years if I have any money at that time. Maybe I'll take a peek over at home depot or menards, thats about all I have around here. If I am going to spend the money I want it to last forever and be done with it.
Thanks for your help. :)
I do remember this, that my budget on the shed was $1,000. I set that price because that's what the cheap garbage sheds at the home center cost and I didn't want one of those in my yard. I used recycled cedar siding, windows and stone for the foundation. Maybe the roof was around $300. I think that the door hardware and paint pushed it slightly over budget :)

How I Rise & Grind – PRIZE GIVEAWAY
Posted by Stephan Labossiere in Real Stories | 80 comments
It's a new day, and as a relationship expert if I'm going to get the most out of it then I have to start it off right. For me to rise and grind I make sure I do three things in the morning (other than wash up and get myself together). I eat a good breakfast, because it is so essential to feed the body what it needs to operate at a high level.
I do some praying and reading, because for me personally it is important to also feed my spirit and my mind to get me moving in the right direction. To finish it off I do some exercise to get the blood flowing and my energy level raised. I'm not always perfect with my routine, but I strive to get it in so that I can be as productive as possible for the day.
Remember that everyday is an opportunity to embrace the possibilities that come with waking up and heading back into the world. Check out my quick video below and then scroll down further for your chance to WIN a FREE #McCafeGrind Prize Pack.

The Western Carolina University Wind Ensemble will present a 1960s-themed concert on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in WCU's John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center.
The concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m., is free and open to the public and musical selections are connected to WCU's campuswide interdisciplinary learning theme for the 2013-14 academic year, "1960s: Take It All In."
Under the direction of John T. West, the 57-member ensemble will perform Symphony No. 3 by Vittorio Giannini, a composer and music administrator who served as the first president of the N.C. School of the Arts. The symphony, written in 1958 for the Duke University Band and published in 1961, serves as a type of lead-in to the turbulent decade of the 1960s, said West, director of bands and associate dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts. "Romantic" in character, the piece follows the standard four-movement symphonic format and has beautiful melodies throughout, he said.
Also on the program is Warren Benson's "The Leaves Are Falling," a somber and moving work with hints of minimalism – a movement that wouldn't really take hold until later in the decade, said West. Written in 1963, the piece was Benson's artistic reaction to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that year.
In addition, the ensemble will perform Joaquin Rodrigo's "Adagio para Orquesta de Instrumentos de Viento (Adagio for Wind Orchestra.)" Composed in 1966, the piece calls for a smaller ensemble of orchestral winds and showcases numerous soloists. Also, Dillon Ingle, graduate assistant conductor, will conduct Clifton Williams' march "The Sinfonians," which was composed in 1960.
Another large-scale work on the program is Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Karel Husa's landmark piece "Music for Prague 1968."
"Written as a response to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia with its memorable images of tanks rolling down the streets of Prague, Husa pulled out all of the stops in creating an intensely emotional work, full of anger even outrage," said West. "It also contains, however, moments of optimism for the future of the Czech people."
WCU's 2013-14 1960s-focused interdisciplinary learning theme is intended to encourage research, reflection and discussion on the decade's political upheaval, scientific accomplishments, extensions of pop culture, artistic expression, feminism and civil rights.

Spring Fling deadlines don't scare me, LOL!
I'm still finishing the kitchen mission, but, I'm also working on my bedroom... and if you all move on, I'll just keep going at my own pace.
So, I guess I might need another week, yes, but since it's only Monday it's hard to tell exactly how much I can get done by the end of this week. Who knows, I might even be caught up.
Whatever our Spring Fling leaders think is best works for me!04-18-2005, 02:12 PM #3

I know that with me working full time I don't have much time durring the week to do any extras so having an extra week would help me out alot!Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements04-18-2005, 02:40 PM #4
I vote no, but only because two weeks is way to long for me to keep motivated to clean one specific thing (even though it is 4 rooms.)
I would rather do a week now, then revisit it once we have done some other rooms. I will work on just one bedroom at a time till it is done, so this would work great for me04-18-2005, 03:02 PM #5

Add me to the list of a mothere visiting (well maybe). Since Paige came along (and is the first grandchild on my side of the family) I see my mother a lot more. Put it this way, when DH and I still lived in NC (granted we were 3.5 hours away) I think she came down twice (we lived there over 2 years) since Paige came along in Feb she's been here 5 or 6 times...lol

1183 Tasting Notes
Sipdown no. 26 for the year 2014. I forgot how much I loved this.
In looking back at my first note, I believe I was chintzy with the rating. Particularly after now having tasted many other chocolate teas, some of which were much too subtle with their chocolate flavor for my taste (I'm not naming any names but it starts with a K and ends with an i). This is a really stellar example of a chocolate tea in my book. No other flavors, just chocolate, and a very chocolatey chocolate at that. (Even given the age of the sample, which was open though ziplocked!) Bumping the rating accordingly.
Harney really seems to have nailed the chocolate flavor tea. Personally, I have never tried this but I have had Florence and SoHo and both have great chocolate tastes.
Another morning with the Sterling. I'm now within sipdown range but not quite there.
With a bit more distance from the Earl Grey Shanghai, I can really appreciate this one in its own right. Mild, medium-light bodied, somewhat brisk, with bergamot just how I like it (in other words, present, but not too strong).
It is so hard to choose among the many Earl Greys out there. You'd think they'd all be basically the same, but no, they have to make things complicated. ;-) There are some Earl Greys that I'd be happy to never taste again and others that are go-tos in my book. This is just short of go-to. Very nice indeed.
I have not had this in a very long time but I find it really enjoyable. It's apple juice for grown ups—not sugary, not sticky, not thick—but sweet enough without adulteration and an aftertaste like the aftertaste of fresh apples.
I used a lot of the mix, about 2 teaspoons per 250ml of water, which made for a really flavorful drink.
The peanut gallery was persuaded to try it and both gave it a thumbs up, though given the recent track record of "I like it, I don't like it" I'm not holding my breath on this one.
I should get it for my hubby. he likes apple juice and can drink a gallon if i dont stop him. much better alternative
Sipdown no. 25 for the year 2014. The entire family joined in, as there were exactly four bags left.
Personally, I'm glad to see it go. It was purchased as an experiment more than anything else and it has served its purpose.
The kids REALLY like it, though. I hope I can find something else they'll like just as much so I won't feel like I suck as a mother if I don't restock this. ;-)
Sipdown no. 24 for the year 2014. I've vaulted ahead of the one per day average! OK, that's an exaggeration. More like I've taken a baby step ahead. Lol.
What to do, what to do. Just the other day, I tried Carol, which was also a Lupicia Strawberry, so I thought I'd try this—also a single teabag in my work stash. And now, dammit, I want ALL THE STRAWBERRY TEA. Ugh.
This one smells really good in the bag, the same sweet strawberry smell as the Carol had, minus the vanilla and plus… well, it's supposed to be plus champagne, but to me it's not really that so much as a whiff of Orange Fanta, which sounds terrible, but is really quite delightful when mixed with the strawberry. The liquor is a lovely mahogany color.
I think perhaps I like the Carol slightly better, but only slightly. The vanilla in the Carol makes for a very smooth, mellow strawberry. The strawberry in this one has a brighter taste. Although the tea obviously isn't bubbly like actual champagne, there's an impression of effervescence that's hard to describe. How the heck did they do that? I'm not really tasting champagne though, or perhaps I am but I'm confusing it with something else because I tend to drink champagne that's rather dry?
Still, I want to drink more of this and try to pin the tail on the champagne. If I do, I'll bump the rating.
Sipdown no. 23 for the year 2014.
In this steeping I'm getting a lot more cocoa than my original note indicated. I prepared the tea the same way, so I'm not sure why.
I still get a little bit of throat bite with this one, but it's not as pronounced as I remember it. There's a freshness to the mouth feel after drinking that's quite pleasant. Like a wake up call to my mouth.
I wonder if some of the difference can be attributed to the age of the sample. It was in a ziplock, and it still has a lot of aroma in the packet, but perhaps there's some mellowing that has occurred.
I can't buy every black tea, can I? So I think I have to make a tough call on this one. I'd happily drink it if offered again but I am going to make myself live without it on the shopping list, just because there are so many other wonderful Harney & Sons black blends that I love more.
ETA: I thought I'd prepared this the same as the original, but I may have increased the water to leaf ratio some. This could account for the lower "bite" factor. The aftertaste to this one is so pleasant it's making me want to rethink my decision about the shopping list. But I think I have to stick with the hard choice, at least for now.
Yesterday morning I had the Earl Grey Shanghai from ATR, so today I thought I'd try this.
In the sample packet there's the same rich bergamot scent as in the Shanghai, but without the sugary aroma of the Shanghai's Yunnan base. The leaves are very pretty, that sort of spidery ceylon look, but instead of petals strewn among the leaves, this one has shiny silver needles. Lovely.
The liquor is a light reddish brown, not quite as deep red in color as I've come to think of the "ceylon" color. There's a mild aroma that is slightly spicy, slightly citrus-y, and though I smell the bergamot it's not overpowering.
The main difference between this and the Earl Grey Shanghai is, to my tastebuds, the tea base. The Yunnan base gives the Shanghai a very substantial body, with a sweet, rich sugar/molasses/cocoa thing going on. The blend of this base, which starts with ceylon, gives the tea a more medium to light body that is still very flavorful, but tastes more like "tea." It's hard to think of an analogy that isn't too hyperbolic. I was thinking the difference between a vanilla shake and cream soda, but that's too drastic of a contrast. It reminds me of the Lady Grey in body and somewhat in taste, but without the creme.
As with the other ATR Greys, this one doesn't overwhelm with bergamot. The balance works nicely for me.
I'm a little torn on this one. It's a fine tea, but I prefer the nommy Yunnan base of the Shanghai. I think if I ordered the Shanghai, the Lavender and the Lady Grey, I would cover the Earl Grey bases with ATR well enough without adding this to the order. However, as always, your mileage may vary—particularly if the Yunnan-based Earl Grey isn't your thing.
Tried this on the kids. No. 1 says he likes it but didn't really want to drink it, and no. 2 says he loves it. But then he admitted that after sleeping on it, he doesn't really love the Strawberry Kiwi from last night as much as he thought he did.
So who knows. My witnesses are proving unreliable. ;-)
I have to say I liked this fine tonight for a non-tea, though if I compare the day's ending to the day's beginning (the American Tea Room peach flavored black) I far and away prefer the black tea based peach.
Next in the line of experiments to see what the kids might like. I was rather surprised that neither of them had any love for this, as it is a very smooth, vanilla-y lemon. However, I wasn't really feeling the love much myself this evening so I suppose I'm not one to talk.
It may be that this hasn't aged particularly well, so I hesitate to mark down its rating, but I think I'm putting it first in line for sipdown status among the various herbal blends we're revisiting now.
This is surprisingly good. I am baffled by it, though.
Ordinarily I would make chai on the stovetop with milk and sweetener. Somehow that seemed wrong for green chai though I'm honestly not sure why that should be. I mean, it's not like I haven't had creamed spinach. So I steeped this as a normal green.
It's a tasty, spiced green tea-though without the chewiness that milk adds to chai. The tea is mild and the spices are as well, but with a peppery kick.
In the tin, I mostly smell clove. A little ginger and cinnamon, too. I see what look like pieces of cinnamon among the leaves. Steeped as I did, the tea has a light yellow liquor and smells a little like gingerbread.
I think steeping as a regular green is the way to go. This is a delicate approach to chai and I think milk would drown it.

The Port of Melbourne Corporation (the
corporation) successfully delivered the Channel Deepening Project
(CDP) ahead of time, under budget and in compliance with the
environmental approval conditions, except for three minor
However, the achievement of CDP's benefits to
date has been affected by the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC),
which has reduced demand for global trade and resulted in an
oversupply of shipping capacity.
As it is only three years into CDP's 25-year
life, its full benefits cannot yet be determined. However, early
performance data indicates: slower than originally projected growth
in trade volume and visits by larger vessels; less than expected
use of the extra draught capacity of these vessels; adverse market
conditions for shipowners and operators that are precluding any
practical realisation of cost savings as result of CDP.
These developments are beyond the corporation's direct control
and could not have been reasonably envisaged at the time it
developed the CDP business case. While these results do not
preclude achievement of CDP's long-term objectives, their
significance warrants a review of the assumptions underpinning
current projections of the CDP's long-term economic benefits.

Hi there
Please please help me. I'm a mom trying to find the answer for my child. Do not have intenet at home and have been to the library for 3 hours and one th internet at work for 5 hours and still cannot find an answer. I stumbled across the website by luck (aren't very good with computers) I need the answer to this really bad and also as how to do a physical test to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur. Would a simple test like pouring water on the mixture help? The iron will sink to the bottom and sulfur will stay afloat. Then i just "spoon" the sulfur from the water? If you know of anything else, please please help. I also do not know how to search for the answer you gave on 9/2/09 (too stupid) Your help is highly appreciated

Ahead of speeches by Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum at the Faith and Freedom Coalitions' presidential kickoff in Waukesha, Wis., in late March, one supporter has a quiet — or sleepy — moment alone.
On Monday, British Prime Minister Theresa May and her top Conservative Party deputies signed a pact with the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland in which the DUP will support May's minority government in most key votes, starting with the queen's speech later this week. There will be no formal coalition government, and the DUP will be free to vote against May's government on issues that don't threaten her government. May fell nine votes short of a majority in the House of Commons in a snap election, and the main opposition Labour Party is demanding to know what financial benefits the DUP is getting out of supporting the Tories; according to reports, the Democratic Unionists had sought $2.5 billion in extra funding for Northern Ireland, plus better treatment for military veterans.

Chuck Schumer warns that without FCC intervention, America's robocall problem will get much worse, fast
The Federal Communications Commission and its chairman, Ajit Pai, agree with everyone that robocalls are a nuisance, and last week the FCC proposed a record $120 million fine for a Miami telemarketer whose company made nearly 97 million "spoofed" robocalls over a three-month period. But on Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he had asked Pai and his FCC colleagues to protect America's cellphone inboxes from a new threat, the "ringless voicemail."
Telemarketers, backed by groups including the Republican National Committee, are proposing that the FCC allow them to send voicemails directly to the inboxes of cellphone customers, without the phone ringing at all, skirting do-not-call registries and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. In a March filing, a lawyer for voicemail company All About the Message argued that the FCC did not have the legal authority to regulate voicemail, and the RNC said denying the telemarketing industry's request would amount to a violation of the companies' First Amendment right to political communications.
Allowing ringless voicemail would "throw gas on a robocall wildfire," Schumer said. "Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse with these robocalls, the telemarketing industry had gone behind the scenes to deliver us the last straw," he added. "They would give you a voicemail, your phone wouldn't ring, but you'd have tons of these darned messages piling up on your voicemail, ruining your voicemail," with potentially serious consequences. "God forbid you got a serious message — someone sick, you need to pick up your kid at school, there's an accident — you wouldn't be able to get to it because there'd be so many of these darned useless solicitations on the phone," Schumer said.
Telemarketers made 2.6 billion robocalls in May, robocall blocking service YouMail says, and New York City area codes 917 and 646 were major targets, The Wall Street Journal reports. Schumer said he felt it necessary to write Pai because the FCC chairman is vocally anti-regulation, most famously regarding net neutrality. Peter Weber
Last week, President Trump insisted that, contrary to his earlier suggestion, he did not tape his conversations with former FBI Director James Comey. And his elaboration on the topic, in an interview on Fox News, was a word-salad masterpiece, John Oliver marveled on Sunday's Last Week Tonight. "Whenever Trump talks, it's like cross between a lottery machine that spits outs words and a Speak-and-Spell that just fell into a toilet." In just a few sentences, Trump somehow managed to validate Comey's damaging testimony, suggest he tampered with a witness, and coin the awkward phrase "not very stupid," Oliver noted.
That said, Trump's "extraordinarily stupid" comments on Comey and secret recordings "served to distract from the really important business going down in Washington this week concerning the Senate's new ObamaCare replacement bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act," Oliver said. Democrats immediately denounced the bill, some skillfully (Barack Obama) and some quite the opposite — here, Oliver played Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's "prop comedy," or attempt thereof. "If political theater were actual theater, that was the equivalent of someone falling to their death in Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark," Oliver sighed. "Now, as for the content of the bill, it is set to hurt a lot of people," he added, briefly explaining how.
"You may have heard some Republicans have come out against this bill in its current form, some because it's too harsh, others because it is not harsh enough — and of course Ted Cruz is in that group," Oliver said. "He's the only man in history whose personality somehow contracted bedbugs. But here's the thing: I would be very careful relying on those politicians to hold out." He noted that GOP senators are being pretty squirrelly with their language, and advised caution at news coverage that presupposes the bill is actually in trouble. "Oh, that's great — it's 'dead on arrival,'" Oliver deadpanned. "Then kick back and relax, everyone, because I haven't felt this confident about an outcome since Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016." The BCRA very well may pass, especially without momentous pushback from the public, he warned, "so resisting complacency would be, to borrow a truly moronic phrase, 'not very stupid, I can tell you that.'" There is some NSFW language. Watch below. Peter Weber
There used to be a time when American parents would line up to vaccinate their kids like vaccines were the latest iPhone, John Oliver said on Sunday's Last Week Tonight. But despite vaccines saving millions of lives, "small groups are both skeptical and vocal about vaccines, which is nothing new, but these days their voice has been amplified by the human megaphone that is the president of the United States." He showed some of President Trump's comments on the campaign trail, and subsequent tweets.
"This atmosphere of confusion about vaccines has caused real problems," Oliver said, pointing to the measles outbreak in Minnesota's Somali community. "So tonight, we are going to look at why these fears persist and what the consequences of succumbing to them can be. And before we start, I kind of get why vaccines can creep people out," he said, "although pretty much every medical practice sounds terrifying when you break it down," including the non-medical practice of basic exercise.
Oliver started with the elephant in the waiting room, the debunked link between autism and the MMR vaccine, started by the disgraced "Lance Armstrong of doctors," Andrew Wakefield. Despite losing his medical license, Wakefield still gives talks about vaccines and autism — including to Minnesota's Somali community, in 2011 — and he's joined by a motley crew that spans the political spectrum. "Now the good news is, these days, very few people will say they are completely anti-vaccine," Oliver said. "Instead, like the president, they'll say, 'I'm not anti-vaccine, but...' — and it's what comes after that 'but' that [we] need to look at tonight."
Oliver's main topic here was the idea that parents should space out vaccines, so young children don't get so many at once. He sided with the CDC on that one, and ridiculed Dr. Robert Sears, a famous pediatrician's less-famous son, noting that spreading out vaccinations for years leaves kids vulnerable to diseases like measles, which killed 134,200 kids worldwide in 2015 alone. "I honestly know for some people this is still hard, but what can help is to try and anchor yourself to what we know to be true about the risks of vaccines," he said. Oliver suggested that parents focus on the immense good vaccines have done rather than the scary Facebook anecdotes and memes, and he ended on a personal note. Watch below, but be warned: There is decidedly NSFW content spread throughout. Peter Weber
McConnell allies give him better-than-even odds of getting his GOP health-care bill passed this week
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wants the Senate to pass his health-care bill this week, before the July 4 break, and the next couple of days will be a test of his strategy to craft a major overhaul of the U.S. health-care system in secret and spring it on the Senate with no public hearings. He can afford to lose only two Republicans, and five have said they won't vote yes on the current version of the bill, with at least three others expressing strong reservations. Republican senators began listing their demands over the weekend.
McConnell's former chief of staff Josh Holmes compared his former boss' week to "a 747 landing on a suburban driveway," but one current McConnell staffer tells Jonathan Swan at Axios that McConnell has a 60 percent shot of passing the bill. Still, "most folks I've talked to in McConnell's orbit say it's more like a jump ball," Swan says, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is in that camp, telling ABC News This Week on Sunday that Republicans "have, at best, a 50-50 chance of passing this bill," odds he attributed to the "devastating" effects of the proposed legislation.
McConnell has some levers he will pull, however, and "Senate leaders have been trying to lock down Republican votes by funneling money to red states, engineering a special deal for Alaska, and arguing that they could insure more people at a lower cost than the House, which passed a repeal bill last month," The New York Times reports. The Chamber of Commerce supports the bill, but opposing it is a motley group that includes the Koch brothers organization Americans for Prosperity, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, medical groups, some Republican governors, and most of the health-care industry.
Senate GOP Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Sunday that the bill is on track for a Wednesday procedural vote, and possible passage late Thursday or early Friday, "but it's going to be close." Speaking at a Colorado retreat hosted by Charles Koch, Cornyn said that even if McConnell doesn't get a vote this week, the legislation is hardly dead. "I think August is the drop-dead line, about Aug. 1," he said. Axios' Swan said McConnell actually does need to pass the bill before the July 4 break, because "no senator I've spoken to thinks a bit of extra time spent with angry voters will make them more likely to support this bill."

On Monday, President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet in Washington, D.C., with the pair engaging in one-on-one talks, followed by remarks to the media — without taking any questions — and a working dinner.
Trump and Modi do not agree on major issues like trade or the Paris climate agreement — Trump has said India negotiated in an unsavory way to ensure the country receives billions of dollars in aid — but a Trump administration official told Reuters they both have more than 30 million Twitter followers and that will help them form a bond. Another senior White House official said the administration is "very interested in making this a special visit. We're really seeking to roll out the red carpet."
An Indian official told Reuters "if the chemistry is good, everything else gets sorted. The only way is up." In 2014, Modi visited former President Barack Obama, who took him to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Catherine Garcia
Toting a backpack with scissors, a razor, clips, a comb, and a styling cape, Joshua Coombes is traveling around the world, giving free haircuts to homeless men and women.
The 30-year-old London hairdresser gets to know his homeless clientele as he works, and he shares their stories on his Instagram stream, tagging them with #DoSomethingForNothing. "When you cut someone's hair, it is about trust," Coombes told The Washington Post. He's found that clients get comfortable and "tell us everything. And that role translates to the street really well." He has cut the hair of hundreds of people, and earlier this year he gave haircuts to the homeless in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Coombes says he believes in the power of forging connections between people, and his aim is to make a positive impact through conversation and haircuts. On Instagram, he shared what it was like cutting the hair of Thomas, a 70-year-old Vietnam veteran who has been homeless for 10 years. Thomas stared at the mirror for a long time, and asked Coombes why he chose to do this for him. "I told him the truth — I loved hearing his story," Coombes wrote. "I never want to stop learning. Every time I go out and do this, I get so much also. ... Fulfillment is different for everyone, but for me, connecting with others is what makes me tick." Catherine Garcia

Slam scams, this Fraud Week
National Consumer Fraud Week commences next week kicking off on the 19th of March and concluding on the 25th of March. Fraud Week is all about educating consumers to recognise the methods scammers use in order to "slam the scammer" at the initial point of contact.
Most of us have received a suspicious email or phone call at some point in our lives and Fraud Week aims to raise awareness about scam delivery methods to help consumers to be more perceptive to potential scammers.
Unfortunately in this day and age Scammers are becoming smarter and more sophisticated in the methods they use to commit fraudulent crimes. Increasing technology and rapidly growing communication channels such as social media have provided an additional layer of complexity to fraud.
According to the Australasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce, "Online platforms and mobile technology such as emails, social networking sites, smart phones and tablets make it easier to connect with people around the world and communicate in real time anonymously, privately or publicly. Unfortunately, scammers also take advantage of these benefits to target you."
The ACFT recommend the following methods to keep scammers at arm's length:
Ignore suspicious emails, letters, house visits, phone calls or SMS – press 'delete', throw them out, shut the door or just hang up.
Scammers use sophisticated tricks to fool you such as fake websites, glossy brochures, technical jargon or posing as someone that you know and trust – don't fall for them!
Scammers will play on your emotions to get what they want.
Your personal details are private and invaluable – keep them that way and away from scammers.
Remember that we will never request your banking or personal details via email and we will never request your PIN. If you receive a suspicious phone call or email please contact us immediately.
It is very important to ensure you inform us as soon as possible if your contact details change.
If you are unsure about whether a method of communication you receive is legitimate or not please contact us directly via the details on our website or call into a branch.

The Issue: What Price Reputation?
The nightmare began for Michelle Peluso sometime early in the morning of Apr. 5, 2005, when an incorrect fare from Los Angeles to Fiji on Air Pacific was mistakenly loaded into the reservation system used by the online travel agency. Before long, someone with the screen name "channa" posted a note on FlyerTalk, a popular message board with frequent travelers. "LAX-NAN (Nadi, Fiji)—$51 all in—Travelocity!" read the subject line.
The post was blood in the water for the Web site's sharp-eyed community of "mileage runners," who troll online travel sites for extremely cheap or misfiled fares to distant cities as a way of racking up airline miles. In no time, Channa's discovery had helped prompt more than 400 bookings among the frequent-flier cognoscenti eager to take advantage of the fare, which was displayed to travelers as $0 plus $51 in taxes. The potential cost to Travelocity.com if Peluso decided to honor the clearly erroneous fare: almost $2 million.
Tough Choices
Peluso's tough call was even harder given the company's imminent plans. In just two weeks, she and her team were prepared to launch a major branding initiative intended to distinguish the company for its commitment to customer service. For 18 months, Peluso had guided the company's efforts to prepare for the launch, which included extensive training for customer service representatives and heart-to-hearts with her senior staff about how they'd adhere to the initiative's philosophy. "One of the tenets was we're going to make mistakes," she recalls. "What we really have to figure out is are we going to walk the walk?"
Suddenly, she was faced with a chance to answer that question. After making sure new bookings of the fare were cut off, she gathered her senior team. Her general counsel worried that honoring the fare—especially since their user agreement protected them from such mistakes—would set a precedent they would have to uphold. After all, the misfiled fare wasn't Travelocity's fault: It had likely been manually uploaded by someone at either the airline or the reservation system.
Her operations chief was concerned about how some of the proposed solutions—giving out gift cards to affected travelers, for instance—would be carried out. Meanwhile, her chief marketing officer, who was about to spend more than a million dollars on a branding campaign, could foresee the headline risks and insisted they had to honor the fare.
Minimizing the Impact
After listening to all sides, Peluso agreed that they had to honor the fare. "We couldn't shy away," she says. "The only real test of whether [the branding initiative] was authentic was what happens when something bad happens." Nine hundred posts after Channa's original alert, Peluso even logged onto FlyerTalk herself to announce her decision, wishing the fliers "Bula" ("welcome" or "hello" in Fijian) and asking them to post a hotel review when they returned.
In the meantime, she and her team were careful to minimize the impact to their bottom line. For instance, they negotiated with Air Pacific to exchange some advertising on their site for some defraying of the cash costs associated with honoring the fares. In addition, a team of programmers worked quickly to develop a screen that would help prevent a similar situation, even if—as with the Fiji fare—the mistake wasn't Travelocity's. Within weeks of the incident, any fares that were 70% or 80% lower than their average historical prices would be double-checked by Travelocity. Since the tool was installed, it has flagged more than 16,000 fares, with 800 of those identified as misfilings.
Today, Peluso is still confident she made the right decision. "It cost us money. It was a difficult decision to make. It was particularly painful because we were about to launch this campaign. And it was frustrating because we knew people knew it was a fake fare," she says. "But it made us a stronger company and cemented our relationships with our suppliers."
A brand is a promise, and crises involving consumers must be dealt with by remaining true to that promise
What is that they say about the best-laid plans? No matter how much attention and effort is paid to launching a new brand campaign, something can always go wrong. In Travelocity's case, a mistake made outside their organization—a fare that was misfiled in April, 2005, that allowed passengers to fly from Los Angeles to Fiji for just $51—put their new campaign, which focused on Travelocity's customer service, to the test.
Any time a crisis emerges, there are bound to be different audiences within an organization who don't see eye to eye. Legal counsel, for example, may be cautious about setting certain precedents, especially when the fare was so clearly a mistake and a user agreement protected Travelocity. Others might worry about bottom-line concerns—the approximately $2 million it could have cost Travelocity to cover the fare, had they not negotiated costs down with the supplier, is hardly chump change.
But a brand is a promise to consumers, and as the steward of that brand, Michelle Peluso absolutely did the right thing. Although it was important for her to listen to her team and weigh their concerns, she almost had no choice but to honor the fare, especially given the campaign that Travelocity was about to launch.
Peluso and her team managed to seize a bad situation and turn it into a positive. The tech department innovated on their processes, putting in better quality-control measures that would help to prevent such an incident happening again. And Peluso took the smart and savvy approach in speaking with consumers. She embraced the chance to speak to them directly by writing a message to frequent fliers on message boards. That sort of one-on-one dialogue between management and consumers can go a long way toward re-establishing trust in a brand.

Recap | Notes | Photo Gallery
Michigan Head Coach Greg Ryan
Opening statement ... "First of all, we got off to a fantastic start. Some of our attacking play tonight, we were so fast in the counter and so quick with Madisson Lewis and Nkem [Ezurike], Meghan Toohey and Corinne [Harris] there at the end. If you look at the shots, it's not far different, but in terms of quality chances, we created chances that were difficult to miss. Ones right in front of the goal. I was really pleased with our attacking players tonight. To me, the biggest difference between tonight and what I've seen more of the season is the performances from our younger players. Our veterans have been solid all year, but the younger players were great. Madisson Lewis was a huge difference-maker tonight. Christina Ordonez played big minutes. Corinne Harris was fantastic every time she was out there tonight. Nicky Waldeck went up top and played some. And Anna Soccorsi got in behind and created a chance there in the first half. Knowing you have such a veteran team and now seeing these young players add to it, it's exciting going forward. They don't feel like freshmen or sophomores anymore. They feel like they are ready to make an impact in this NCAA Tournament."
On the chemistry between Ezurike and Lewis ... "It's a match made in heaven. Madi is faster than a rocket ship and can run past defenders at will. And then you have Nkem who loves to sit in front of the net and knock them in. It's a fantastic pairing. It doesn't always have to be Nkem, though. [Meghan] Toohey scored a great goal tonight. Corinne [Harris] chipped in. That's so important. Teams are going to focus on Nkem. You have to be able to get goals from other players."
On the long layoff between the Big Ten Tournament and tonight's first-round match ... "It gave us a chance to rest. It was the first one we had all year. We had three recovery days there at the start. That was so important. Teams that often win the Big Ten Tournament don't particularly do well because it's three games in five days. This rest gave us a chance to build our team the way we wanted to in order to prepare for this first match. The team trained tremendously hard those next few days, then we gave them another recovery and had two solid days of training leading up to tonight. You could see off the bat that they were ready to get after it."
On what the team worked on during that time ... "We did a lot of straight match-up, man-to-man work with players all over you. In the NCAA Tournament, people go very, very hard and you have to be able to turn away from pressure. There were great instances of that tonight. Madi got balls under pressure, turned away and was able to find the next player. Nkem and [Meghan] Toohey did a great job controlling the ball in a very tight midfield. Every second matters. We played a lot of games to one goal to help our players with their finishing. It's the first goal that can break a team's back."
On balancing defending and attempting to extend the lead ... "We felt like throughout the night, you always had to push for that next goal. I don't think we stopped after our first one. I think we gave up more chances than we should have tonight at the back. We turned the ball over in dangerous areas that could have hurt us, but that's an easy fix for us. That's a discussion. I think in the NCAA Tournament, you don't play for ties. You have to go after teams and win and I felt like we did that tonight. Even that late goal from Corinne, the team is still fighting to get goals."
U-M Fifth-Year Senior Holly Hein
On bouncing back from the team's last loss 10 days ago ... "Our team philosophy all year has been to be relentless. That loss to Iowa, we weren't happy about it. Greg talked to us about it and we got back to work. We weren't satisfied with what happened there. We wanted to come out hard tonight against Milwaukee and I think we did. I think it shows in our performances. We scored in the first five minutes and kept going at them."
On the importance of scoring first ... "Getting on the board first always helps, but like I said, our philosophy is always to be relentless, so we just had to keep going at them. It obviously helps a lot when you score first. Defensively, it makes you a little more comfortable. We had some beautiful goals tonight. Credit to our front runners."
On the team's defensive game plan for Milwaukee ... "Going into this game, we were going to sit off their forwards. We wanted to keep possession. It's hard to put balls over the top every now and then. It's nice that Shelina and I were able to possess, find Kayla and find Chloe to ge the ball to a forward or wing player."
U-M Senior Nkem Ezurike
On starting fast ... "From the start of the game, we just wanted to get forward and get after them in the first couple of minutes of the game, to get in behind the defense. It's just motivation, the will to get at the defense and get in behind them. That's sort of how that first goal happened."
On if playing Milwaukee already gave them an edge ... "We know them a little bit better than if we hadn't played them before. They made some changes in their lineup but they played the same way for the most part. We were able to exploit that."
On if Milwaukee's near goal in the first half was a wake-up call ... "It was important. It shows how quickly things can turn. We wanted to get another goal. It's just another security. It makes it easier on the defense to get more and more goals and that's what we strive for as attacking players."
On Madisson Lewis ... "She can really beat any defender with her speed. She gets in behind the defense and is able to play great balls into the box. She played really well today."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The actor who portrays the schoolboy wizard in the Harry Potter movies received as much attention for appearing naked as for his range and depth in the London production of playwright Peter Shaffer's "Equus."
Daniel Radcliffe is now reprising the role on Broadway, and this time reviewers are concentrating on his able performance in the play first performed at the National Theater in London in 1973.
Ben Brantley of The New York Times said Radcliffe, 19, wore his part of a suburban stableboy who commits grotesque crimes against horses "like a tailor's delight -- that is, a natural fit that allows room to stretch."
"Like many beloved film actors Mr. Radcliffe has an air of heightened ordinariness, of the everyday lad who snags your attention with an extra, possibly dangerous gleam of intensity," wrote Brantley, adding his "Alsatian-blue gaze" helped his convincing performance.
USA Today carried the headline "'Equus': Radcliffe revealed as a serious actor" as reviewer Elysa Gardner said "the Harry Potter star puts to rest any arguments that his appeal should be limited to moony adolescents and maudlin grown-ups."
Like other reviewers, Gardner said Radcliffe's performance outshone the production.
"In his impressive debut in a major stage role, as the disturbed adolescent in 'Equus,' Daniel Radcliffe significantly helps overcome the fact that Peter Shaffer's 1975 Tony winner doesn't entirely hold up," said Variety.
While most reviews centered on praising Radcliffe's performance, some made reference to the nakedness that caused such a stir in London. Continued...
