Misha79, I´m happy that it´s working for you, at least partially! It seems you are closer, just a little more work on it and it will be working 100%.
Well first of all take care about mixing different versions of a same librarie, is not a good practice and perhaps it could have and unexpected behavior in terms of I believe you can't be fully sure of the classloader will load always load the classes of the same librarie, unless you configure it explicitly. I'm not totally sure about that, but it is only an advice.
About the error you are talking about, as far as I remember I believe I got the same error when I was implementing the solution. It happens because SWF can´t find a conversation that is suposed to exist. Probably in your scenario it is happening because the code you posted is still incomplete; your conversation manager is trying to load a conversation previously created but the method readConversation(ConversationId id) is always returning null.
You must complete the code of your CustomPersistentConversationHelper, otherwise it will never work!! I will post my code for the same class tomorrow when I come back to work, please remember me with a private message if I don't do it, I can easily forget it hehehe
Regards and good weekend.

Senator Scott Brown issued an apology Wednesday night for telling reporters earlier in the day that his opponent, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, had paid actors to appear as victims of asbestos-related illnesses in television advertisements defending her role in a lawsuit that has become a key issue in the campaign.
Three of the people in the ads said in statements provided by the Warren campaign that they were neither paid nor actors. They said they had lost loved ones to asbestos-related illness and that Brown's accusations were offensive.
never have seen a senate candidate stoop so low as the boy senator has. This guy is not what we expect to represent us in the US Senate. He is getting desperate...using his wife to shill for him and to downgrade Ms. Warren. Think when you are in that voting booth.....do I want mitch mcconnel in my state for the next 6 years? A vote for the boy senator will accomplish this...
I'm honestly shocked. I've never been a Brown supporter, to put it mildly, but I didn't think he'd actually say something like this. That indicates a number of things not only about his ethics but about his professionalism. Even while he tries to make political hay by twisting what happened in the asbestos case, he doesn't care enough about the facts to find out anything about what the victims actually think -- he doesn't even bother finding out who the people are who are speaking in Warren's ads and why they're on Warren's side. Instead, he makes up an outrageous whopper in response to a voter's sincere question, and he presents it as if he knew what he was talking about. What kind of behavior is that for a senator? Heck, what kind of behavior is that for anyone over the age of 10?
Is this how Scott Brown studies an issue? This incident, apology withstanding, shows he is not very deep in fully understanding what he supports. He uses his right wing blinders ignoring pertinent realities to push his reactionary agenda. This is not the first time. He was willing to inflict more damage on people because of his allegiance to a less than mentally stable Grover Norquist about not raising taxes meaning no vote for meaningful jobs bills. His wayward political sense led him to sign on to the Blunt Amendment, vote nay on The Fair Pay Act, ay for keeping petroleum industry subsidies, and ay for loosening environmental laws. It does not make sense to let a legislator vote against laws that improve the status of women, improve the environment, but favor those taxpayers who need no such largesse. Scott Brown calls himself an independent. He has now revealed himself as a full fledged card carrying member of the reactionary, ethically challenged wing of the Republican Party. He fails on trustworthiness and a sense of working for working people. Those who are affected so negatively by his votes should look at this record and cast their own vote accordingly.
I have to also put out the misdirection of his own ads. Was there a single woman who came out and said thank you Scott Brown for your vote on whatever. It has not happened. All we get is women endorsing him but never stating what part of his record appeals to them. He has even dragged his wife and daughters who have advantages not requiring help from expanding women's rights. Having a cluster of women in your house is a phony argument when your actions speak louder than words.
What gets me is that he thought he could lie to a voter and get away with it. Just make up an answer that discredits other people and encourages division. Must be getting talking points from the guy who thinks that 47% of the electorate will never take personal responsibility.
Sure, keep lying to pit Americans against one another so that you come out on top. How in God's name did the good people of the Commonwealth ever trust this idiot to represent them in Washington?
The great state of MA needs a Senator who can be constituent based and responsive to the people of MA-not Rovian-style politics. We have so much to lose with Brown and so much to gain with Warren. I appreciate Brown's making it clear that this "nice guy" facade is just that and that he does not deserve our vote. Maybe he's hoping for enough clueless voters to believe him and not get the news that he lied re Warren(and other things.)
I have been an asbestos plaintiff, represented by Thornton Naumes, first and foremost asbestos lawyers. They sent me a letter supporting Warren. To be brief, these are the facts of the case. Trveler's settled for $500 million. Another company challenged that settlement and it went to the supreme court. Warren represented Traveler's at the supreme court. Warren won the case for Traveler's and the victims and was OUT OF THE CASE. Traveler's later reneged and is the defendant in a new case. Warren has been endorsed by the asbestos workers union.

Pace Restaurant Style Salsas Heat Up the Salsa Aisle
Camden, N.J.-based Campbell Soup Co. adds three new Restaurant Style Salsas to its Pace Mexican sauce portfolio. Each of the all-natural, gluten free salsas is inspired by the flavors and textures found in authentic Mexican restaurants and are intended to appeal to people who want to enjoy a dining-out experience in the comfort of their own homes.Varieties include: Garden Pepper, a blend of bell peppers, jalapenos and lime; Garlic & Lime Verde, made with tomatillos and a touch of garlic and lime; and Southwest Chipotle, a chipotle chili puree with crushed tomatoes, red peppers and onions.
To create its new line of salsas, Campbell selected popular taste profiles based upon on-going consumer research and input from Campbell's chefs. While each of the new salsas remains true to the Pace brand's heritage of using fresh, hand-picked jalapenos, the new items replicate the familiar texture celebrated by restaurant goers.
"Consumer demand for bold and fresh flavors is strong in the salsa category, and our new restaurant style salsas should appeal to both our most loyal Pace salsa fans, as well as to those people who enjoy sampling a wide array of salsa flavors and styles," says Randy Beck, brand manager-Pace. "By tapping into the increased interest in bringing the restaurant experience home, we believe the Pace brand will lead a fast-growing category segment."
At shelf, each of the Pace Restaurant Style salsas will feature a newly designed product label that clearly communicates each variety's main ingredients. "We know our restaurant style salsas must stand out from both the balance of our Pace portfolio," says Beck, "as well as from what is often described as a 'sea of red' in some parts of the country, where the salsa category is particularly well developed and competitive."
Suggested retail price for a 16-oz bottle is $2.99.

Watching Ken Burn's documentary "The Dust Bowl" on PBS this past week, I could not help but feel depressed. I also felt proud that I recently retired from a 34-year career in conservation — that is: "using a resource wisely while protecting it for the next generation". We can't excuse the farmers, land speculators, and a government for the horrible land use decisions made from the 1890s to the 1920s in the Southern Plains of this country, but we can admire the struggle of those people to persevere, stay on the land and play their part in healing from the disaster.
President Roosevelt toured the plains with some leaders telling him to just abandon the region and let it go, it wasn't worth the effort. Roosevelt said he could see in the people's eyes that they intended to stay and survive. Hugh Hammond Bennett and other visionaries scheduled Congressional Hearings in 1935 on the creation of the Soil Conservation Service. They delayed those hearings to coincide with the day that a dust storm would be blowing through Washington D.C., a storm later termed "Black Sunday." This single storm moved 800 million tons of soil from the central plains of this country. That storm, and many others, blacked out the sun and deposited several inches of dust on the President's desk, the halls of Congress, and even on the decks of ships 300 miles off the Atlantic coast. Needless to say, the Soil Conservation Service was formed. Similar storms, called dusters, numbered in the hundreds during the Dust Bowl.
What grew from this decade-long disaster were the world's models in agricultural and conservation. It grew a system of university researchers looking for better crop varieties, tillage systems and better and safer pesticides. It grew farming organizations asking farmers to join together to share what they learn for the benefit of their neighbors. It also established a conservation agency, now called the Natural Resource Conservation Service, which works through locally established Soil and Water Conservation Districts. These Conservation Districts provided the local support needed to get federal help for the problems local people identified in a way that would benefit the local area so they might individually and collectively become better stewards of the land.
Locally, the farmers in Highland County formed the first Conservation District in Ohio in April, 1942, and The Gallia County Conservation District was formed in December of 1944. The problem here in Ohio and the Corn Belt was not the wind, but the water erosion that was creating gullies so big they could hide a truck and a tractor. The solutions to these problems required local knowledge, and they transformed agriculture across this country, making it a model for the entire world to follow.
In the 1930s, they asked farmers to plow on the contour, to build terraces that held the water, plant over 18 thousand miles of windbreaks to help stop the wind, to leave crop residue on the surface, and yes, to turn the most fragile areas back to their natural state of native prairie grass.
The country made a pact with the American farmer: "We will help pay for the application of conservation practices if you will install them, maintain them and become better stewards of the land." I am most proud of the fact that all of these programs remain voluntary. As farm groups began to see these conservation systems begin to heal the land, some wanted to even take farms away from producers that didn't install these practices. They could see that if some did wrong they would all suffer the consequences, but in the end the programs are still voluntary today.
I have played a very small 34-year role in this evolution, and by the time my career began in the late 1970s, we were not seeing these huge forms of erosion. By that time we realized that even very small amounts of erosion were transporting fertilizers and pesticides into our public waters, and we were developing advanced tillage practices that left almost all of the crop residues on the surface. Our agency and university researchers promoted no-till for 20 years before it became the standard used today. Until we perfected chemicals for weed control such as the Round-up we all use today and better no-till equipment, it wasn't the most economical tillage method to use — today it is. Farmers have less equipment, they spend less fuel by reducing trips over the fields, they target the weeds they have and not every possible weed they might have, and yes, they keep much of the precious water on their fields and out of our road ditches and streams.
Livestock producers rotate their pastures so they don't simply provide a place for the cattle to graze but manage pastures and let them rest and grow back before regrazing them. They soil test and fertilize the grass to maximize the tons of forage they graze or cut for hay. They fence out streams and good woodlots to protect them from the damage cattle can do, and they let the cattle spread their manure over the entire pasture (as they naturally do) as fertilizer, instead of sending it into our steams as pollution.
The trial and error over the years did bring us some mistakes such as multi-flora rose and autumn olive, with their invasive presence in our pastures and woodlots. Our conservation agencies take grief for introducing these species still today, but these trials improved varieties of apples and berries, cultivated new varieties of trees that form more effective windbreaks, and developed better ways of growing these plants to the benefit of the environment. It all took fight in the effort to recover from "The Dust Bowl."
As you drive down any road today, you don't see these huge problems I preface above, but that is because individual farmers have collectively adopted an evolving system of conservation practices to ensure we never suffer through such a disaster again. Also, know that these practices have to be repeated year after year or they become ineffective. They must also be taught to our sons and daughters so they can teach their sons and daughters.
I am reminded of Winston Churchill's statement during the Battle of Britain that, "Never in the course of human history have so many owed so much to so few." No, the Dust Bowl was not WWII, but perhaps we owe the best conservation program in the world today to the people of Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas who almost destroyed the western prairies of the U.S. Their mistakes prior to the Dust Bowl had to reach almost biblical proportions before we were brought to act.
I am proud of the role that my fellow conservationists play in providing the technical expertise to the American Farmer and the fact that they have collectively taken that knowledge and continue to protect our precious soil and water resources. This allows future generations to continue to reap the benefits of this bounty of food and a clean environment. Lest we ever forget, please take the time to watch the documentary "The Dust Bowl" or read the book by Timothy Eagan, "The Worst Hard Time." It will be an uncomfortable experience, but one that will be well worth your time.

Hee! Man, I can visualize this, this is sweet. Kanaya and a bunch of troll customers all in Disney animation, eventually forming this parade of fashion at the end with Kanaya looking out of the window of the shop watching them, all nervous and holding pins in her mouth and stuff.
Thanks again, man. I really do appreciate you putting up links like that.
Also, yeah, this one kinda got away from me. :[ And by that, I mean I think I had some ideas for it, but this was written at, like, three different times during two days, so I think a lot of what I wanted to put in there didn't make it. Because I forgot. I think I have a part 2 kicking around, sorta an aftermath of the party when Bro comes home, so that might flesh it out a little. I just hate putting up block text, I always get paranoid that everyone's like, "Damn, so many words. I'm sorry, I can't read this."
Anyway, thanks for reading and comments, folks.

Could an old bartending trick be the simple answer to a better fruit salad?
Most fruit salads betray neither rhyme nor reason regarding the fruit selection or assembly, and the customary heavy sprinkling of sugar seems designed to mask defects in the fruit.
With summer fruit at its peak, we wanted to rewrite the rules of fruit salad to bring out the best fruit flavor.
We cut the fruit into small, uniform pieces, so the different flavors and texture could come through in each mouthful. To keep each fruit distinct, we also limited the number to three per salad. We found it hard to judge the proper amount of sugar when it was added directly to the salad, so we macerated each fruit in just the amount needed to release the fruits' natural juices; we also balanced the sweetness with fresh lime juice. But first, we mashed the sugar with herbs and zests (in bartending circles, this process is called "muddling") to ensure even flavor distribution.

Comments about Home Styles Bedford Queen Headboard in Ebony Finish:
Nice bed and finish. Would order from Cymax again.
Great Heaboard, Great Price
By Mehita
from St. Paul, MN
We bought this for the bed in our guest room. The style of the headboard is sophisticated, yet not over the top. The black finish seems durable and hasn't scratched yet, even with us moving it up a flight of stairs, etc. It was very easy to assemble. The only minor issue was that my separately purchased bed frame did not match up with the pre-drilled headboard holes and I had to drill new ones. In the end, it all worked out fine and it looks great. For the price, this headboard is totally worth it.

The headboard is exactly what I was looking for. I purchased other furniture that was simple black design. I wanted my bed to be the focal point and this headboard does exactly that! Absolutely in love with it!

Mrs Queen Takes the Train
After decades of service and years of watching her family's troubles splashed across the tabloids, Britain's Queen is beginning to feel her age. She needs some proper cheering up. An unexpected opportunity offers her relief: an impromptu visit to a place that holds happy memoriesthe former royal yacht, Britannia, now moored near Edinburgh. Hidden beneath a skull-emblazoned hoodie, the limber Elizabeth (thank goodness for yoga) walks out of Buckingham Palace into the freedom of a rainy London day and heads for King's Cross to catch a train to Scotland. But a characterful cast of royal attendants has discovered her missing. In uneasy alliance a lady-in-waiting, a butler, an equerry, a girl from the stables, a dresser, and a clerk from the shop that supplies Her Majesty's cheese set out to find her and bring her back before her absence becomes a national scandal.
Mrs Queen Takes the Train is a clever novel, offering a fresh look at a woman who wonders if she, like Britannia herself, has, too, become a relic of the past. William Kuhn paints a charming yet biting portrait of British social, political, and generational rivalriesbetween upstairs and downstairs, the monarchy and the government, the old and the young. Comic and poignant, fast paced and clever, this delightful debut tweaks the pomp of the monarchy, going beneath its rigid formality to reveal the human heart of the woman at its center.
About the Author
William Kuhn is a biographer and historian, and the author, most recently, of Reading Jackie, a look at the personality of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis through the books she chose to edit at Viking and Doubleday. He has written three previous books: Democratic Royalism; Henry and Mary Ponsonby, a double biography of two key people at the court of Queen Victoria; and The Politics of Pleasure, a life of Britain's most royalist prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts. This is his first novel.
Praise for Mrs Queen Takes the Train…
�eoeYou�e(TM)ll come away thinking Her Majesty, at least this fictional one, charming, caring, thoughtful and brave. . . . A delightful escape. We can only hope there are more train rides in Her Majesty�e(TM)s future.�e
-USA Today
�eoe[A] charmer of a first novel. . . . This Elizabeth is delightful, slyly funny company. You�e(TM)ll never look at the real one the same way again.�e
-People (3 � stars)
�eoePoignant and sweet, MRS QUEEN TAKES THE TRAIN is a comic study of the British class system, an unusual testament to the possibilities of friendship outside normal comfort zones and an affirmation of the humanity within all of us.�e
-Richmond Times-Dispatch
�eoeA delightful read, a bit of fiction (the train journey) set into nonfiction (everything else), and a sly look at how the monarchy is changing along with�e"or maybe two beats behind�e"the rest of Britain.�e
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
�eoeA witty, contemporary story of the Downton Abbey-esque tensions between servants and employers, the young and the old, and tradition and modernity.�e
�eoeThis book is the perfect cup of tea for the year of the Queen�e(TM)s Diamond Jubilee. Give it to lovers of all things British. It�e(TM)s also a good bet for fans of Alexander McCall Smith.�e
�eoeKuhn explores not only the queen�e(TM)s inner life, but the Downtown Abbey style-tensions between servants and royals, the old guard and the new. . . . Royal watchers and students of class alike will enjoy this smart. . . tale.�e
-Publishers Weekly
�eoeKuhn�e(TM)s first novel ought to find an avid readership among the filmgoers who flocked to The King�e(TM)s Speech and The Queen. . . . An affectionate, sympathetic but also unstinting look at the woman inside the sovereign.�e

Promiscuous "Portnoy's Complaint" and Our Doomed Pursuit of Happiness Bernard Avishai

The publication of Portnoy's Complaint in 1969 provoked instant, powerful reactions. It blasted Philip Roth into international fame, subjected him to unrelenting personal scrutiny and conjecture, and shocked legions of readers - some delighted, others appalled. Portnoy and other main characters became instant archetypes, and Roth himself became a touchstone for conflicting attitudes toward sexual liberation, Jewish power, political correctness, Freudian language, and bourgeois disgust. What about this book inspired Richard Lacayo of Time to describe it as "a literary instance of shock and awe", and the Modern Library to list it among the 100 best English-language novels of the twentieth century? Bernard Avishai offers a witty exploration of Roth's satiric masterpiece, based on the prolific novelist's own writings, teaching notes, and personal interviews.
In addition to discussing the book's timing, rhetorical gambit, and sheer virtuousity, Avishai includes a chapter on the Jewish community's outrage over the book and how Roth survived it, and another on the author's scorching treatment of psychoanalysis. Avishai shows that Roth's irreverent novel left us questioning who, or what, was the object of the satire. Hilariously, it proved the serious ways we construct fictions about ourselves and others.
Bernard Avishai is adjunct professor of business at Hebrew University and author of three books and dozens of articles for The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, Harvard Business Review, and other publications. He divides his time between Jerusalem and America.
"Bernard Avishai has written a spirited, loving, richly insightful appreciation of Portnoy's Complaint as cultural phenomenon, generational totem, instinctual liberation, and, above all, stupendous work of art. A marvelous book for anyone who wishes to relive and to understand the thrill, scandal and triumph of Roth's comic masterpiece."Stephen Greenblatt, Author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern
"Great poets require great audiences: Whitman's dictum is brought to life in this book, where a truly great writer is matched to a highly astute reader. Philip Roth's transcendent importance is well established, but never has it been more cogently appreciated than by Bernard Avishai, who make's Roth early masterpiece come fully to life again. Through Avishai's eyes, Roth's genius shines. Required reading all around."James Carroll, Author of Jerusalem, Jerusalem
"This is the best thing on Roth yet written. Avishais breezy, intimate style is propelled by considerable scholarship, not only locating this breakout novel in Roths life and work, but building a launching pad for Avishais own dazzling cultural, intellectual, religious, and psychoanalytical explorations. Promiscuous proves Roth to be our boldest, best, and brightest fiction writer. So now perhaps the Nobel Prize Committee may perhaps to begin. Yes?Robert Brustein, Founder, American Reporatory Theater
"There are only two people who could have written this book: Philip Roth and Bernard Avishai. In fact, Avishai's deep emersion into the literary and cultural phenomenon that is Portnoy's Complaint is nearly as astute, bold, funny, perceptive, and wise as the celebrated novel itself."Reza Aslan, Author of No god but God and Beyond Fundamentalism
"I was there. I read Portnoyeagerly, with both hands!the week it came out. And let me tell you, Avishai nails it. He explains it, re-explains it, plumbs the depths and jokes and backstories I was too ignorant and giddy to notice. And not just that: Promiscuous kept the smile on my face from start to finish."Hendrik Hertzberg, Senior Editor, The New Yorker

MTV has posted a new clip from Rob Zombie's upcoming H2, which reimagines John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, Halloween. It looks like Zombie is less interested in the atmospheric subtleties of Carpenter's movie and more interested in raw carnage (surprise, surprise). In addition, he lets the dreaded Michael Myers (played by Tyler Mane) show his face, unlike Carpenter's Myers, who was always masked.
Zombie's version stars Scout Taylor-Compton and Malcolm McDowell -- taking over roles played by Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence in the 1978 movie. Also in the movie are Brad Dourif, Margot Kidder, and even 'Weird Al' Yankovic (in an unspecified role).

Editor's Note: This fictionalized case study will appear in a forthcoming issue of Harvard Business Review, along with commentary from experts and readers. If you'd like your comment to be considered for publication, please be sure to include your full name, company or university affiliation, and email address.
Natalia Georgio knocked on the door of her new marketing director's office. Elizabeth Gardos hadn't done much with the space yet. Aside from two chairs, the desk, the computer, and a picture of her daughters, the office was empty.
"You need to get some art in here," Natalia observed.
"I know. It's been a busy two weeks. I want to put up some photos of the dancers," Elizabeth said.
The two women worked for Delacroix, an avant garde dance troupe based in New York that had five companies touring the U.S. and Canada. Natalia, a former dancer, was the organization's executive director. She'd hired Elizabeth, another former dancer, because of her decades of marketing experience, most recently at Violet, a fast-growing woman's athletic clothing company. Despite the stagnant economy, Delacroix was growing at a healthy pace, in part because of its policy of keeping ticket prices reasonably low. Still, Natalia thought the company needed better marketing to support its expansion strategy. Elizabeth, who'd been keen for a new challenge and to return to the dance scene, had jumped at the opportunity.
"So why did you want to meet?" Natalia asked.
"I have some ideas I want to run by you — some things I've noticed in these first couple of weeks."
"Great, let's hear it."
"I'm really surprised that Delacroix has never surveyed or gathered information of any kind from customers before," Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, that's not really our thing. We take our lead from the dancers, not the audience."
"Then, what you do here isn't really marketing," Elizabeth said cautiously. "It seems like marketing's only responsibility is to decide how long shows should run, how to advertise them, and what to charge for tickets. You promote the shows and people show up, but you don't really know who your customers are or why they come."
"You mean, 'we' promote the shows," Natalia said, smiling. "You keep saying 'you,' but you're part of this company now."
"We. Sorry."
"You're right; marketing's role has been limited up to now. But part of the reason we brought you in is to give us some new ideas."
Natalia had a mandate from Delacroix's board of directors to take the company in new directions: to explore international engagements and television and film opportunities. But she was nervous about formulating her strategy without any research upon which to build a case for risks worth taking. She'd explained that to Elizabeth during the interview process.
"I think we should start, at a minimum, by doing a simple customer survey," Elizabeth said, "just with people who have signed up on the website and clearly want to be in communication with us. We can gather some basic information and find out what they like best about our shows. That will give us some insight into other audiences and markets we should target."
"That's certainly an idea," Natalia said, choosing her words carefully, "but it would also be a big change for us. There are some people in this building who will resist." She was referring to Henry Delacroix, the company's founder and artistic director. While Natalia was technically in charge of the company, Henry still exerted a lot of influence.
"So it won't be an easy sell?" Elizabeth said.
"No, I don't think it will."
It's All About the Dancers
"Why do we want to ask what our audience thinks?" Henry said. "We don't care what they think." Elizabeth and Natalia glanced at each other across the conference table.
"Henry, come on. We care that they come to the shows," Natalia said.
"Of course, I know our audience is important. But our business depends on the creative expertise of our artists." Henry forced a smile and turned to Elizabeth. "When people come to our shows, they expect to have an unbelievable, unique experience — one that they'll never forget. How can people tell you what they want if they haven't ever seen it before? If we ask them what they want, we'll end up doing Swan Lake every year!"
Natalia shifted in her seat uneasily. She knew that many of the board members — not to mention the dancers — felt as strongly as Henry did about maintaining artistic control. If Delacroix were to shift to a customer-centric approach, it could lose some of its best people.
Elizabeth cleared her throat and passed Henry a brief report. "Here are some examples of how my previous firm, Violet, used social media to better understand customers, get feedback on products, and test new ideas." She paused as Henry gave the report a cursory glance. "This allowed us to make better decisions about how to price our products, how to go to market, and when to take risks with new products. I know the product in this case is very different: We're a dance company. But there are similar benefits here. Take your fan website, for example —"
"Yes, 90,000 people have signed up," Henry replied.
"Right, it's great. But you — I mean, we — don't really engage with those people. We have practically no data on which of them are coming to our shows and why, which means we have no idea which opportunities to pursue next, or how to present ourselves — to sell ourselves — to the media or to corporate partners," Elizabeth continued. "We're feeling around in the dark. It may work for giants like Apple to tell customers what they want, but that won't work here."
"It has up to now," Henry said, smirking.
"But the game has changed. You're thinking about different ways to expand. I know we want to go international by the end of the year, but we know little about what, say, a London audience would really want to see."
"We will tell them what they want to see," Henry shot back. "Many companies operate this way. Tiffany doesn't survey the women of the world asking what kind of jewelry they want. The company has faith in its designers and their imaginations — and it gets a better product as a result. We can't keep our artists inspired and innovative if we start letting customers tell us what to do."
Natalia looked at Elizabeth apologetically, but she recognized that Henry had a point. Delacroix wasn't founded to meet customer needs; its mission, from the beginning, had been to push the boundaries of modern dance. Henry's relentless pursuit of that goal had brought the company much success.
"What about what happened last year at the Joyce?" Elizabeth asked. Natalia looked at her new hire. She had done her research.
Delacroix had invested a big chunk of its marketing budget in promoting the three-month run of a new show. Expected to be one of its best ever, the show featured dancers in huge masks. Unfortunately, the masks seemed to terrify all the children in the audience. There were walk-outs at every performance in the first few weeks, and then parents flooded the website, as well as ticket and review sites, with complaints. After much internal deliberation, the company decided to put a note in the program warning that the masks might be scary for children under eight. Natalia had wanted to do more, maybe even remove the masks from the show, but a few board members held strong to the principle that they shouldn't bow to customer dictates. But they also told her that they didn't want to see that sort of mistake again.
"It was an unfortunate incident, definitely a failure on our part," said Henry. "But we learned from it: No more scary masks in our shows."
"But if we had an ongoing dialogue with our customers, we might know these things ahead of time — know that they want more kid-friendly performances or that we need to market certain shows to certain segments of our audience," Elizabeth countered. "We could avoid these sorts of failures." Her experience, especially at Violet, made her a firm believer in the power of information. "New ventures, new partnerships, more exposure — you can't gamble with these things. You have to get it right. Customer research will help minimize our risk," Elizabeth said.
Henry shook his head. "You're just not getting it —"
"OK." Natalia stood up. "We're not going to resolve this today. Elizabeth, can you e-mail that report to Henry and me? We'll discuss it offline."
Just One Survey?
Natalia was in a cab and headed home when her cell phone rang. It was Henry.
"You're not really considering this, are you?" he said as soon as she'd picked up.
"Yes, I am. Elizabeth has some great points. How are we going to enter international markets if we don't know anything about the audiences there?" Natalia looked out across the water as the cab started across the Brooklyn Bridge. "How am I going to compete with every other company that wants a chance at TV if we don't have the customer research? Those Hollywood execs will laugh us out of the room, never mind the corporate partners."
"And what will you do when our customers ask us to put our dancers in Smurf costumes? Will you order one for Sophia?"
Natalia smiled at the thought of the company's most famous — and most difficult — dancer dressed as Smurfette. "Stop being dramatic, Henry. They're not going to tell us to do something ridiculous."
"Fine, not the Smurfs, but you know we'll have to take fewer risks, to err on the side of selling tickets instead of pushing the creative envelope. You were a dancer, Natalia, one of our best. Remember the mission? Remember how energized you felt by it?"
"Of course I remember. I also remember that it's part of our mission to bring modern dance to as many people as possible." Natalia tried to keep the frustration out of her voice. She knew as well as anyone how much Delacroix relied on the board members and dancers for innovation. "But I was brought in to professionalize this company, to expand on what you started. And customer research — real marketing — may be part of that. Elizabeth knows what she's talking about. She ran the whole customer initiative at her previous job, and it was a huge success."
"She sold clothes, Natalia," Henry said.
"Fair enough. But what's the harm in a survey or two? If the customers give us outrageous feedback, we don't have to listen to it. "
"But if we ask what they think and then don't give it to them, we'll alienate them. We'll damage the relationship," Henry said. "And you know there's going to be resistance from the board."
Natalia was not surprised. The business types would be all for it, she knew, but the members with an artistic background — the ones who understood the creative process — would never approve it. She pictured each of the board members, sitting around the table at their next meeting only a few weeks away. Henry was right. They would probably divide on this issue, almost evenly.
"Besides," Henry continued. "We're doing fine. Why rock the boat now?"
"Now feels like precisely the time to rock it. The board is expecting big things from us over the next year, risky things we've never tried before," she said.
"And we're going to be successful only if we trust our own creativity and our own instincts — not customer research."
Natalia looked out the cab window. She felt tired.
"You still there?" Henry asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Well, think about this. We can't have it both ways. Either employees come first, or customers do. You know where I stand. Where do you?"
QUESTION: Should Delacroix launch a customer research initiative?

Earlier, I wrote:What about organisations that have to rely on apps that are written only for Windows . . . ?
Realistically, it would cost the company making the software extra money to port the apps they
make for Windows to Mac OS X. An organisation can't just ask for a Mac OS X version of the
software if a Mac OS X version of the software doesn't even exist.
Anyway, here's another reason to be realistic, an organisation can't just switch all it's desktop
workstations from PC's to Apple Mac's overnight. Especially if it has a large number of PC's.
I used to work in a call centre (over 5 years ago) with over 500 Windows based PC's in use.
It'd take a lot of time and money to replace the lot with Apple Mac computers. Not only that,
all the staff would have to be trained to use them. That'd cost even more time and money.
And would also mean lost productivity by taking staff off duty so they can be trained to
learn how to use a completely different operating system.
And lost productivity, means lost money, and no company is willing to lose money like that.

It was a battle for No. 1, as Clinton's girls took on South Lenoir Tuesday night, earning the top spot with a 53-42 road win.
Coach Chris Owens said the game plan going in was to attack the Lady Blue Devils' big girls inside, and that's just what they did, putting the pressure on from the start of the game.
"Our defense on the ball handlers gave them a lot of trouble," Owens pointed out. "We went in with a plan and I thought we executed that plan very well."
The Lady Dark Horse coach was just as pleased with his offense, stressing that he believed the team was very successful in running plays, sharing the ball and executing their offense.
"It was an overall team effort, and I was very pleased with the way the girls played," Owens said.
Clinton took command of the game early, jumping out to a 12-5 lead after one period. The Lady Horses continued to force turnovers and create offense in the second period, taking a 21-9 lead into the half.
South Lenoir found a way to score in the third period and actually put in 3 more points than Clinton, at 19-17, but it was too late to make a dent in the first half deficit.
Leading the way for Clinton was Christine Glasper with 17 points; Courtney Pearsall, 12; Lexus Simpson, 7; Tamara Murphy, 6; Tiandra Johnson, 6; and Bianca Owens, 5.
The win moves Clinton into first place in the 2A East Central Conference. They hit the road again Friday for another conference game with Richlands.

Peru Retail Report Q4 2012
Report description
The Peru Retail Report examines the long-term potential of the local consumer market, but flags shortterm concerns about the impact on Peru's economic outlook of sluggish growth in net exports. The report examines how best to maximise returns in the Peruvian retail market while minimising investment risk, and also explores the impact of a potential slowdown in China or a Greek exit from the eurozone on the Peruvian consumer and on the ability of producers and exporters to realise returns in the short term.
The report also analyses the growth and risk management strategies being employed by the leading players in the Peruvian retail sector, as they seek to maximise the growth opportunities offered by the local market.
Peruvian per capita consumer spending is forecast to increase by 27% to 2016, compared with a regional growth average of 17%. The country comes third (out of seven) in BMI's Latin American Retail Risk/Reward Ratings, although it outperforms slightly for Reward.
Among all retail categories, mass grocery retail (MGR) will be the outperformer through to 2016 in growth terms, with sales forecast to increase from US$2.34bn in 2012 to US$3.31bn by the end of the period. Growth in MGR sales is expected to outstrip that of overall food sales (41% compared with 40%), with MGR's share of the overall food market predicted to grow from 11.2% in 2012 to 11.3% by 2016. Over the next five years, expansion by the leading operators and market entry by new players is expected to result in dynamic growth in the MGR sector. As such, BMI is forecasting that between 2012 and 2016 sales at Peruvian hypermarkets will increase by 23.9% to reach US$1.28bn, while sales at supermarkets will increase by 54.3% to reach US$1.41bn.
Over the last quarter, BMI has revised the following forecasts/views: ? BMI maintains its below-consensus 4.8% real GDP growth forecast for 2012 and 2013. Despite a very strong real GDP growth reading of 6.0% y-o-y in Q112, we are happy to maintain our end-2012 growth forecast given Peru's substantial exposure to a slowdown in China. ? BMI expects private consumption to remain the primary driver of growth over the coming years, contributing 4.0 percentage points (pp) and 3.3pp to GDP in 2012 and 2013 respectively, a slight moderation from the 4.2pp contribution in 2011. While credit growth has moderated somewhat from its 2011 highs, it remains relatively strong, coming in at 13.7% y-o-y in April. ? BMI's forecast for strong private consumption has been reinforced by the fact that the retail sector expanded by 7.2% in the first half of 2012.

My best Christmas ever!
Posted by Tristan in Holidays, tags: celebration, Christmas, fun, New Year's, presentsDo you know why this Christmas was my best Christmas ever? I had two Christmases, one with my family and one with my grandpa at my home.On Christmas I was so excited. I woke up my dad and mom first thing in the morning. We were allowed to open up our stockings first. They were on the railing upstairs and our tree was downstairs. My brother, my sister and I ripped open our stocking presents as if we were paper shredders. In a few minutes, it looked like our table was made of wrapping paper because the wrapping paper was all over the place!
After, we rushed downstairs and I was surprised by how many presents there were. My mouth fell open. Here are some of my presents. I got some Lego Power Miners, a computer game called Spore, some shirts, a robe, the game Stratego, two books in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and some people for the board game Heroscape.
When my grandpa came over on New Year's Eve day he brought more presents. I like him coming because he brings us lots of stuff and I like to spend time with him. Usually we go to his place but my auntie was in a hockey tournament near us. She is15 years old. After my grandpa and his family got to our house, we first opened our birthday gifts because he didn't send my brother and sister's when they had their birthdays in October and mine was coming up soon. Then, we opened our Christmas gifts. I got a magnifying glass, bug glasses, another DS game that I already have, a hockey bag (but he forgot it at home and had to send it up later). After we opened all of our gifts it was only 3 hours away from the next year!
I played some Wii and ate snacks until it was almost 12:00 am. When we're at my grandpa's, at midnight we're allowed to bang pots and pans outside on his front yard. He lets us make lots of noise because he doesn't like his neighbours. Because we were celebrating New Years at our house my mom let us do this as well, but we didn't do it too much because we like our neighbours. I got to stay up up until 2:30am that night!
I had the best Christmas and a fun New Year! How was yours?

Regardless if weather permitted or not, the JV and varsity baseball Fighting Scots have been fine-tuning their game since the first week of December 2012.
The Scots have been going strong during the winter months in what has become a yearly tradition, practicing hitting drills, bunt coverages, pitching mechanics and overall fundamentals preparing for the season's start in late February.
One such player that has benefited from Scotland's annual winter practices is senior Hayden Buffkin, who will be thoroughly entrenched in both the Scots' starting rotation and the middle of the batting order in 2013. In his junior season as a full-time member of the Fighting Scots, Buffkin earned All-Conference honors and caught fire down the stretch to help his team earn a 24-3 record and conference championship.
And continuing his pre-season schedule, Buffkin packed up a car along with his family (parents Charles and Patti, older sister Sandra) for a 70-hour cross country road trip the weekend of Feb. 18.
The destination? Tuscon, Arizona for the 2013 "Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament," a showcase event highlighting some of the top high school talent in the country, which gave Buffkin a platform to display both his talent and extend the growing reputation of Scotland baseball.
"It was an honor to be chosen for that event," Buffkin said. "Florida was the furthest I've ever been in my life before this tournament, so it was a cool experience all-around."
"Not only was it a great opportunity for Hayden to get some exposure, but it also speaks well for our program," said Scotland varsity head coach Jamie Coleman. To date, just one other member of the Fighting Scots has been selected for the tournament, current South Carolina Gamecocks' pitcher and former teammate of Buffkin, Curt Britt.
"It's a confidence booster for Hayden, and it also continues our tradition of producing good players here in Scotland," he said.
Each of the hundreds of players who were selected to participate in the tournament received invites based on their performance at a Baseball Factory event, or in Buffkin's case, by earning the attention of a pro scout. The tournament featured 20 teams based on region, and Buffkin was selected as a member of the Carolina Blue squad.
Buffkin played in three games during his time in Tuscon: And in his first appearance with Carolina Blue, he found himself on the mound preparing to pitch against the 'North' squad, which featured several of the top players from states such as Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin.
"I was really, really nervous when I first got out there," Buffkin said. "But after the first couple of batters, I started to shake it off and go back to my normal self."
If nerves played a factor, Buffkin's numbers during the four innings he pitched didn't indicate it. According to tournament rules, pitchers had to face at least five batters per inning no matter if three outs were recorded or not. Squaring off against 20 batters, Buffkin allowed zero runs, two hits and two walks while fanning five of the batters he faced. Buffkin's team would win 2-0.
During the course of his team's three games, Buffkin split time between short stop and second base as well. But for Buffkin, it was his interactions with several scouts on-hand which proved to be his favorite experiences.
"The coolest part was getting to know all of these minor and major league scouts," Buffkin said. Each year, the Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament attracts scouts from nearly all of the 30 Major League Baseball teams.
"They gave me pointers on how to get better, and it was just really great to have that opportunity," he said.
While he continues to see accolades and recognition for what he's already accomplished with the Scots, Buffkin has one final year to continue making his mark. And with his recent stretch of stellar play comes expectations, and Coleman along with the rest of the Scotland coaching staff are looking to Buffkin to help continue the Scots' conference dominance.
"He's one of our top batters and pitchers and is a great athlete in general," Coleman said. "With that said, we're asking big things from him on the mound, in the field and at the plate."
