Five weeks ago, Matthew James Reilly sat for an elegant dinner at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, on the French Riviera. Around him were acclaimed filmmakers such as Alexander Payne, Michael Haneke and many others, and earlier that evening, Reilly himself had been honored with a Cannes student film award for his 17-minute short, "Abigail." He had come a long way from Glendale High.
"I've been an avid fan of the Cannes festival since I first got into filmmaking in high school," says Reilly, 22. "I used to geek out on it every year and watched what films came out of it. To be able to be a part of that, to be honored, is unreal."
It was an astonishingly unexpected outcome to a film he'd made for a class at New York University, but the quietly evocative story of a young woman who quits her job at a gas station in an attempt to change her life clearly made an impression. Reilly wrote, directed, produced and edited "Abigail," which was one of just two American films accepted into student competition, out of 4,500 entries.
The short film won second place at Cannes on May 26 as part of the La Cinéfondation program, which seeks to support and encourage the newest generation of filmmakers.
"This is probably the first film and the first script that really represents the type of filmmaker I want to be, and the type of stories and characters I'm attracted to," Reilly says. "I feel like everything else I've done so far has been an exercise."
The young filmmaker now lives in New York, where he just graduated from NYU, but spent most of his life in Glendale, from age 5 to 19. His interest in film came unexpectedly during his teenage years, when his original career goals were much different.
"I was pretty dead set from 9th grade on to being a professional skateboarder, but when I was 15 years old I severely injured my wrist, and that eliminated that dream," he explains. During that summer, he watched Jim Jarmusch's 1984 indie film classic "Stranger Than Paradise" on TV, and his perspective on what a movie could be changed.
"It was the first low-key, super-low budget independent film that really spoke to me," he says now. "I'd always loved movies, but that was the first film where I was able to recognize the voice of the director in it."
He began his film studies for a year at Los Angeles City College, while working part time at a Circuit City store in Glendale, then transferred to NYU. For "Abigail," he drew inspiration from his family roots in New Jersey, where all gas stations are still required to offer full service. He was also moved by the photography of William Eggelston, known for deeply saturated images of poverty and fading Americana in the Deep South, in pictures that are often wry and seemingly off-hand.
"A huge inspiration of mine is John Cassavettes. He's one of my favorite filmmakers and probably the reason I got into film was his movies," he adds. "He made films that are completely character-driven because they're so incredibly low-budget and so done on the fly. It's all about the life that he breathes into the actors, how they illustrate all their flaws. It's about the dynamic of the characters, and that's something I'm really attracted to in filmmaking."
He shot "Abigail" over four days a year ago in Edison, New Jersey, with a small cast and crew that never numbered more than nine. "All of them were some of my closest and most dependable friends from film school, and people that I've worked with on other projects before," he says. "They all assembled together in one dream team."
Now as an award-winning filmmaker, Reilly now hopes to take "Abigail" to other festivals, and he is currently at work "tweaking" a feature-length script he hopes to direct soon. The $14,000 that came with his prize will help him finance pre-production.
"The whole Cannes experience was a big honor, but it was also really just inspiring," says Reilly, who hopes to one day return to Southern California. "There were a lot of amazing films there this year. It got me excited to start working again."

Published January 13, 2015
Minnesota Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom and defenseman Clayton Stoner did not practice on Thursday, increasing the possibility they will be unavailable for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Wild forward Jason Pominville also missed Thursday's practice and will not travel to Chicago for Friday's game. He missed Game 1.
Coach Mike Yeo says if Backstrom is unable to go, Josh Harding will get the start on Friday night after he made 35 saves in Minnesota's 2-1 overtime loss in the opener Tuesday night.
Blackhawks center Dave Bolland and goalie Ray Emery have been ruled out for Game 2 due to lower-body injuries. But Emery skated on Thursday, and coach Joel Quenneville says both players could travel to Minnesota for Game 3 on Sunday.

De Faoite ? anglicised White and Whyte is the hibernicised name of Anglo-Norman settlers, who arrived in Ireland during the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The adjective 'white' is self-explanatory; it may refer to complexion or hair colour, 'fair'.
Bán ? anglicised Bane, Bawn, Baynes and White. White is a translation of Irish 'bán'; this is an epithet type surname, one of a number of interesting surnames that were adopted by a process of osmosis, as it were, replacing the original surname. The name appears in 17th century records in counties Cork, Tipperary, Limerick and Wexford, and possibly existed also elsewhere in Ireland.
Ó Gealagáin ? anglicised Galligan and White, earlier O Galgan. The root is 'geal', which is 'bright' or 'white'. This was anciently a Sligo surname, but Woulfe says it is dispersed through the south of Ireland ('Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall', 1923).
Mac Giolla Bháin ? anglicised as (Mac) Gilvane, Kilbane,and by translation, White: 'giolla bán' would mean 'fair youth'. A sept of the Uí Fiachrach in Sligo, anciently in the modern civil parish of Dromard. Fiachra was the brother of Nial of the Nine Hostages, founder of the Uí Néill. O'Donovan, who transcribed and edited the 'Annals of the Four Masters' et. al. in the 1860s, found families named White in the above districts who belonged to this sept. MacIlvaine/MacIlwaine is also a Scottish name, of similar derivation, often found in Ulster, and also occasionally translated Whyte/White.
Whites, with many other Anglo-Norman families, settled in the city of Limerick in the late 12th/13th century. Not all Co Limerick Whites would be Anglo-Norman, however; a look at the 1659 'Census', below, shows a considerable number of families called Bane together with Whyte in Connologh Barony in Co Limerick. There are still more Bane families in the 1659 'Census' in West Cork. Similarly, in that record, Bane together with White is found throughout Co Tipperary and in Co Wexford, and would appear to represent the same (native) name.
White was also a 17th century importation, borne by a soldier who was given land in the baronies of Beere and Bantry, Co Cork. Sir Thomas White, temp Charles 11, settled at Bantry. These Whites were loyalists who were rewarded with titles by the British, starting with baron Richard White in 1797. Here again, though, we must note the existence of Bane/White as a numerous native Irish name in Cork, especially West Cork, in the 1659 'Census'.
In relation to the Scottish settler Whites of Ulster, the name would also be an epithet type surname, with a similar history to that of the English Whites, not just a translation from MacIlvaine etc.
By the time of Commonwealth Surveyor Sir William Petty's incomplete 'Census' of Ireland in 1659, White and related names appear in the list of 'Principal Irih Names' in the following counties:
No certain examples found.
Cork City & Liberties, 7 (families, all figures) White; Bandon, 3 Wheite; Carbery West, 25 Bane.
Slieveardagh (names are of baronies), 8 White; Lower Ormond, 7 Bane; Kilnamanagh, 12 White;
Iffa & Offa, 13 Bane and 14 White; Eliogurty & Ikerrin, 11 Bane.
City & Liberties, 12 Whyte; Connologh, 9 Bane and 16 Whyte.
Middlethird, 7 White; Galtire, 7 White;
Shelmaleer, 7 Bane and 6 White; Shelbyrne, 9 Bane.
City & Liberties, 15 White; Neithercross, 12 White; Balrothery, 17 White; Cowlock, 11 White.
Dundalk, 8 White; Atherdee, 12 White; Drogheda, 5 White.
Massareene, 9 White; Belfast, 8 White.
Tyrone is missing from the 'Census'.
Griffith's 'Primary Valuation' of Irish households in the 1850s shows most White families in counties Cork (270 + city 32), Dublin (134 + city 105), Wexford (196), Down (192) [I found no examples there in the 1659 'Census'], Tipperary (184), Antrim (171), Galway (137) [this county is missing from 1659 'Census'], Laois (129) and Limerick (109).
R.E. Matheson, the Registrar General, published a 'Special Report' on surnames in 1894 and 1909, based on the 1890 birth registrations. This shows most White births for 1890 in counties Antrim, Cork. Dublin and Wexford. In that year it occupied the 50th place in the most common surnames in Ireland.
Notable Whites
Robert White was Provost or Mayor of Limerick city in 1213. He would be of the Anglo-Norman family. As would be Walter White, Bailiff of Limerick in 1197 and John White, Bailiff in 1237. In fact, many Whites appear as mayors/bailiffs of Limerick throughout the medieval period
Edward Higgins White (1930-1967) U.S. astronaut and test pilot. He was the first American to walk in space, on 3rd June 1965. He tragically died during a pre-launch test for the first manned Apollo Mission.

If you have or know a solar project, please submit it to us for consideration as a featured project using Submit an Item. http://www.solaripedia.com/302/submit-an-item.html
A 2.2-mile (3.6-kilometer) long tunnel crossing Antwerp in Belgium is fitted with 16,000 245W solar panels covering 50,000 square meters, roughly eight soccer pitches. The project, known as the "Solar Tunnel", was the first railway infrastructure project in Europe used to generate green energy. Switched on in June 2011, the project supplies 3300 GWh of electricity annually, enough to power 4,000 trains -- the equivalent of a full day's worth of Belgian rail traffic. The electricity produced by the installation is used to power railway infrastructure, such as signals, lighting and the heating of stations. It also powers the trains using the Belgian rail network. Enfinity, the U.S based company the developed the project, said it would decrease CO2 emissions by 2,400 tons per year. The tunnel was originally built to protect trains from falling trees as they pass through an ancient forest. The installation covers a total surface area of 50,000m² (538,000 ft2). The high-speed international trains that travel through the tunnel link Paris and Amsterdam. By using electricity generated on-site, energy losses and transport costs are expected to be eliminated. Engineers began covering the 50,000 square meter surface area of the roof of Belgium's HSL4 high-speed rail tunnel with monocrystalline solar panels (rated at 245 Wp per panel) in the summer of 2010. The panels were installed using a special ballast tile structure that negates the need for rooftop perforations. Enfinity reports that the installation generates an estimated 3.3 GWh of electricity per year - equivalent to the average annual electricity consumption of nearly 1,000 homes. The cost of the project was around US$20 million in 2010-2011. The objective is to make rail travel by Belgian Railways more environmentally friendly.
Belgian Solar Tunnel Is an International "Milestone"
Posted on 28 October 2011 by Premier Construction
Infrabel, the firm responsible for building and maintenance of the Belgian rail network, embarked on a major initiative to build a 3.4km high-speed rail tunnel on the Brussels Amsterdam line. Crossing through swathes of dense forest, running past residential areas and alongside a highway, it was necessary to construct a tunnel around the track in order to protect people and wildlife, safeguard the railway from falling tress and to reduce noise pollution.
But when the structure was completed in 2009, it was not the end of the journey, as a spark of inspiration struck Luc Martens of Solar Power Systems (SPS), leading to an innovative project carried out on a grand scale: the Solar Tunnel was born.
He described the moment a thought flashed through his mind, as he took he daily commute through the tunnel: "Having watched the construction of the tunnel, creating 50,000m2 of flat space, a light bulb of inspiration switched on: why could the tunnel not be used to create green energy?"
Though it was originally his idea, Mr Martens also credits Richard Marcelis of Infrabel with "the commitment, knowledge and drive" which took the idea through to realisation, saying "I have the highest esteem and gratitude for him."
Chloé van Driessche, spokeswoman for Infrabel, explained to Premier Construction how the project progressed.
Once the contacts between SPS and Infrabel had been established by the end of 2008, Infrabel undertook the necessary feasibility studies regarding the ecological impact of the project and the financial situation. When it was confirmed that the solar tunnel could become a reality, the partnership was cemented by the creation of the company SPS Fin.
SPS Fin is an incorporation of Infrabel, Enfinity and the financial departments of the communities of Schoten and Brasschaat where the tunnel is located. Enfinity are a large Belgian-based, international firm who provided a large portion of the finance, as well as design, engineering, site-co-ordination and now maintenance services.
"The installation was quite easy because there is just one flat platform to work on. Actually, we stood on the roof at a press event in September 2010 and the workers were progressing so quickly that we were asked to move because we were in the way."
By December, installation was complete and the solar farm operational and connected.
However, at this point it was only wired up to the rail infrastructure services, meaning that the energy was only used to power lighting, screen displays, heating and signaling. It was in June 2011 that a new connection was created so that the energy was powering trains, both standard and high-speed.
The energy is now distributed and managed by Infrabel, who buy all the generated electricity and then sell it on to the companies who use it. In Belgium there are three companies who run the railway networks: Infrabel, who are responsible for the infrastructure; SNBC who operate the train services; and SNBC Holdings who run the main stations and manage the administration for all three companies.
Miss Van Driessche explained that each of these firms required the generated energy for their operations.
She also said that using the solar energy to actually power the trains was a momentous step forward:
"This is a milestone for Belgium and for the whole of Europe," she said. "People have talked about the possibility of solar-powered trains for years, but with the idea of putting solar panels on the train. Now we have solar trains but without having to do any work on the actual trains, which is a big advantage. Also, the trains can run on a normal electricity supply at night.
"When people get on a train they are travelling in an ecologically friendly way because they are using public transport, but it does still use a lot of energy so we hope to continue in making that energy-use greener."
She said that the Solar Tunnel had received great support from the local communities in the municipalities of Schoten and Brasschaat, but said that Infrabel hoped the enthusiasm for green energy would spread further within the Belgian rail network and internationally.
"We are considering carrying out other similar projects," she said, "but we can't comment on them now because we still have lots of feasibility studies to do. There is no other site which offers such a great opportunity as the tunnel, but there are many other projects that we are looking into."
Other types of green practices that Infrabel are looking into include wind power, better insulation and also the way that they recycle materials when carrying out repairs.
Furthermore, the Solar Tunnel has received great interest from the international community, and Miss Van Driessche said that Infrabel are hoping to see authorities in many more countries exploring similar possibilities.
"This is a very interesting story," she said, "and a project that progresses very quickly. Obviously you have to look at the individual situation in each country, but we hope that this will generate other ideas."
"Solar is a relatively new technology on this scale", said head of Enfinity UK Bart van adding that it still needs some incentives.
"However, photovoltaic generating costs have fallen by 30% to 40% in the past three years, and it is hoped that more large scale developments will bring further cost reductions so subsidies are not required for similar projects by 2015-16; according to van Renterghem, parity has already been achieved in southern Italy, where there is more sun" he added.
Infrabel is responsible for the management, maintenance, renewal and development of the Belgian railway network. The company is also responsible for train routes allocation for all Belgian and foreign operators. Infrabel was established on 1 January 2005, when Belgian Railways was broken up, and is part of the SNCB Group. The company now employs some 12,500 people with a turnover of approximately 1 billion euro (2009).
The company's mission is to provide railway operators with a competitive railway infrastructure, which is well adapted to both current and future demands.
It aims at making an active contribution to provide lasting mobility within the European railway network, thus benefiting the economic and social development in Belgium.
In order to make Belgium the hub of Europe, Infrabel aspires to: Introduce optimal reliability and accessibility across the network; develop high performance technology and ensure the highest possible level of integration with other transport modes.

Enfinity Technics delivers and installs large solar power installations for the business market and has a broad knowledge of and extensive experience in various technologies in the field of solar power installations.
Enfinity Trade delivers ready-made solar energy plants for the residential and business market.
Inspired Energy: Solar Power Systems
Solar Power Systems was incorporated by Luc Martens in 2008, and after just three years now turn over €21 million as they pursue what Mr Martens calls their "mission", to install PV panels on everything from domestic and commercial buildings to vast projects like the solar tunnel, where they adopt a holistic approach.
Currently, Solar Power Systems install solar panels on five homes in an average day and on one business's buildings a month. However they report a significant increase in interest since their involvement on the solar tunnel, with lots of customers seeking them out a reliable partner for their PV investments, which many see as the prize possession on their property.
Mr Martens says that the high-profile solar tunnel has impacted dramatically on the importance that Belgians ascribed to green energy, saying is has also "raised awareness of the importance of qualified suppliers and where to find them."
Solar Power Systems have certainly proven their credentials as a driver behind the solar tunnel. They prepared the functional, technical and organisation road books as well as filing for the available subsidies necessary for the work to take place.
Now their innovation and experience is spreading the inspiration through the Belgian population and marking them out as the foremost supplier in the industry.
Luc Martens says that the firm is eager to continue to push both its own growth and the increase in renewable energy in Europe: "We are analysing further collaboration with the partners of this beautiful project," he says, adding, "SPS is constantly looking for partners to continue our exponential growth and to ensure the future of generations to come."
E-morrow is primarily a construction company that is currently focused on Belgium; however it aims to expand outside of Europe. They install a wide range of solar panels, including monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous solar panels.
Jurgen Himschoot from E-morrow said: "We will be an EPC contractor, we will do engineering procurement, and we will construct complete renewable energy packages – wind energy, biomass installation, solar panels, you name it."
E-morrow played a very important role in the Solar Tunnel project. They executed the DC connection for the project, installing 16,000 modules on the tunnel roof over a length measuring 3.5km. These solar cells will supply enough energy for 4,000 trains a year.
Jurgen Himschoot said: "We are an organised and flexible company. We do the thinking together with the customer, and want to share our knowledge with our clients.
E morrow is a company of healthy contrasts: we have tons of experience, but our ideas are always fresh and innovative. We are a young company, yet pioneers in our profession. We have a solid foundation, but are always in search of greater efficiency. In short: we're always on the move – for your business and your customers.
Together, we're heading for a bright future."

2002 Toyota Camry ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
America's most popular car gets a major makeover.
The Toyota Camry has been America's best-selling car for past few years. That's an important title for auto manufacturers, so Toyota is quite pleased that the Camry has outsold the Honda Accord and Ford Taurus, its arch-rivals among mid-size sedans. Now comes a completely redesigned Camry for 2002, making this the fifth generation.
This year's Camry is a slightly larger car. Yet performance and fuel economy have been maintained. Styling is all new, designed to add sensuality to what has been a bland design.
Better yet, prices have dropped slightly over last year's models. Given Toyota's reputation for quality, durability and reliability, the new Camry will once again prove to be the ideal car for about 400,000 new-car buyers a year who don't want to worry or even think about their car.
Trim levels are nearly the same as last year: LE 5-speed manual ($18,970); LE 4-speed automatic ($19,800); SE 5-speed manual ($20,310); SE 4-speed automatic ($21,140); XLE 4-speed automatic ($22,295) LE V6 4-speed automatic ($22,260); SE V6 4-speed automatic ($23,700); XLE V6 4-speed automatic ($25,405). (Gone is the low-priced CE.)
LE was always the most popular model. This year, it comes with a lot more standard equipment, including air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, 60/40 split rear seat and vanity mirrors.
However, Toyota hopes that more people will be interested in the luxuriously appointed XLE as it is not such a jump up in price from the LE as before. XLE adds luxury appointments such as wood grain trim, power driver and passenger seats, automatic air conditioning, alarm system, keyless entry, cargo net, and rear-window sunshade.
SE is a new model, a sportier version of the LE with added equipment such as fog lights, stiffer suspension, bigger wheels and tires, rear spoiler and sportier trim inside and out.
Each of the three models can be had with a newly redesigned four-cylinder or V6 engine. Manual transmission is only available on the LE and SE four-cylinder models.
The list of option packages is quite long, enabling buyers to order a Camry to suit taste and budget. Side airbags are available as an option on the LE and SE, but are standard on the XLE.
(Note: The 2002 Camry Solara coupe/convertible is still based on the old Camry platform even though it has a few small cosmetic changes to make it look more like the new Camry sedan.).
When Ford introduced its new version of the Taurus back in 1996 it made the mistake of making the new design too radical (and many would say too ugly) for many buyers. Within a couple of years it had to tone down the curvy look, but sales dropped.
Toyota obviously took this lesson to heart as the exterior design of the new Camry does not stray too far from the previous Camry in appearance, even though Toyota says it has made it look more exciting. Ironically, the rear deck and tail light treatment is the most different and it has a distinctly Taurus look to it. The front of the Camry appears to have a bit of Lincoln LS in it, thanks to the way the grille cuts into the top edge of the front bumper.
Overall, the new Camry offers a more sculptured appearance, with slightly flared wheel arches and a distinct dual crease line in the hood, which leads nicely into the grille. The new Camry has a much taller stance on the road than the previous model as its height has increased by more than two inches, while gaining less than an inch in length and width.
Toyota knows how to build quiet cars that with a comfortable ride quality. Toyota's Lexus division has excelled in this area and this expertise appears to have worked its way into the Camry. Not only is the engine quieter, but it is mounted to the body in a new way to lessen vibration. There is more sound deadening, so that even when the four-cylinder engine is driven hard the engine noise is quite subdued.
Other Lexus-type touches are the air conditioning controls that are electronic rather than mechanical giving a smooth tactile feel when operated. On the SE and LE models these large knobs are mounted in a prominent position in the center of the dashboard. Unlike some cars, the Camry's dashboard is relatively plain with no large curved surfaces and it is set relatively high. Although it blends nicely into the door panel trim, the cover for the passenger-side airbag is surprisingly noticeable as the seams show clearly. Many other car manufacturers have managed to make the passenger-side airbag invisible. The instruments are located in a relatively small pod right in front of the steering wheel with large half moon tachometer and matching speedometer. The fuel and temperature gauges are located within the two larger instruments.
Lights and windshield wiper/washer controls are on stalks on the steering column, leaving the left lower edge of the dash free of switches. Radio and climate controls are mounted high in the center of the dash. Manual controls suffice for LE and SE models. XLE trim gets automatic climate control, upgraded sound system controls. A navigational system is an option on the XLE. A wide center console separates the two front bucket seats and contains useful storage areas. The parking brake on the LE and SE is also located in the center console whereas the XLE gets a foot-operated parking brake.
Rear-seat passengers will find the accommodation to be quite pleasant for a mid-size passenger car. Head- and legroom have increased compared to the previous Camry. The rear seat splits 60/40 allowing pass through for large objects in the trunk, although the actual opening is smaller than it might be. The trunk itself is a decent size and shape. Although the gooseneck hinges take away valuable space in the trunk, at least they are hidden under a cover eliminating the chance of contents being damaged when the lid is closed.
Driving Impression
Transparent. That one word sums up the driving experience in the Camry. It's a compliment as it means there is nothing untoward or strange about the car -- it does everything just right. An enthusiast driver would complain that it lacks character, but for the average driver that's a positive comment as it means he or she does not have to think about what's going on.
More than two-thirds of all Camrys sold will come with the four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. It is inexpensive and fuel-efficient and provides plenty of power. Computer logic controls the automatic transmission; the car can tell when it is going up hill or down hill and shifts gears accordingly. It can hold a lower gear longer when necessary to avoid the annoying shifting up and down that occurs in some automatics.
The ride is pleasant. In fact, it's merging on luxurious, with enough cushioning to make passengers feel comfortable. The steering is light but not sloppy. Those who like a sportier, more precise handling will notice that the different suspension setup and tires on the SE do make the car feel crisper, though it's still far from being a sports sedan.
You'd never know from driving the car, but the gas pedal is a drive-by-wire affair. That means it is not connected directly to the engine by a cable; instead, it reacts through a sensor connected to a computer -- just as in modern airplanes. One advantage of this arrangement is that the optional Vehicle Skid Control system can take over control of the throttle in an emergency and apply just the right amount of braking and throttle to help keep the vehicle on a more stable path.
Toyota admits that the Camry is a car that nobody aspires to own but it's one that everyone recommends others to buy. It's what's known as a safe buy. Toyota has tried hard to make the new Camry more exciting while at the same time make sure it is still a car that will get its occupants from A to B and back without any drama or worries about reliability year in and year out.
The 2002 Toyota Camry is still not as exciting as the 2002 Volkswagen Passat or the 2002 Nissan Altima, both of which are new designs. If looks and character don't matter much, the new Camry should prove to be a great car. It's one we would have no hesitation in recommending to people who just want a solid, reliable car, something that offers a good ride, decent performance and comfort, and blends in nicely with the crowd. That's just what many buyers are after and the Camry fits the bill very nicely, thank you. It will likely continue to be America's most popular new car.

The Toyota Camry is one of the best-selling sedans in America. The coupe and convertible versions of this car carry the Solara badge and unique styling. But while the Camry moved onto a new-generation platform for the 2002 model year, the Solara carries over on the previous platform.
However, the Solara coupe and convertible do get a facelift for 2002, with a new grille, front bumper, headlamps and tail lamps. A new four-cylinder engine for 2002 delivers significantly more power over last year without sacrificing fuel economy or emissions.
Overall, the Solara is smooth and quiet. Its optional V6 delivers strong torque for good acceleration performance. It's comfortable, with terrific seats, and the top is easy to operate.
The Solara comes in hardtop coupe and convertible body styles. It's available with four-cylinder or V6 engines and manual or automatic transmissions.
The four-cylinder coupe is available only in the SE trim level, $19,365 with a five-speed manual transmission and $20,165 with a four-speed automatic. Standard equipment includes an all-new 157-horsepower 2.4-liter engine, air conditioning, front disc brakes, cruise control, fog lights, an AM/FM radio with a cassette player, 15-inch wheels and tires, cloth seating and front airbags.
The V6 coupe is available in SE and SLE trim levels. SE V6 with five-speed manual retails for $21,685; SE with automatic transmission retails for $22,485; SLE, which is only available with automatic, lists for $24,675. Both are powered by a 200-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and have four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. The SLE adds leather seating surfaces, automatic climate controls, heated rearview mirrors, a JBL premium audio system with a CD player, front bucket seats with eight-way power on the driver's side, a rear spoiler, 16-inch alloy wheels and 205/60R16 tires.
The convertible is available as a four-cylinder SE ($24,495), or a V6 SE ($28,045) or V6 SLE ($30,525). All convertibles come with automatic transmissions. The convertible top raises and lowers under its own power and features a heated glass rear window.
The Toyota Solara is updated for 2002 with new front and rear fascias that give it some fresh sparkle. The changes include a new grille with a redesigned front bumper and air dam, new four-bulb headlamps, fog lamps, parking lamps, and jeweled tail lamps. New wheel designs are also available.
The Solara's styling features strong character lines and a wide rear end with a small rear spoiler (optional).
For 2002, the SE coupe gets a new appearance package ($110 with a manual transmission and $175 with an automatic) that includes a leather-wrapped, three-spoke steering wheel, leather-wrapped shift knob, black trim and black pearl emblems and special alloy center cap for all four wheels.
Seat heaters are now available on Solara coupes ($315), as is a remote keyless entry with a trunk opener.
The Solara feels different from the Camry the moment you sit in the driver's seat. The dashboard hints at a cockpit-style instrument panel. It flows into the door panels, accented by a strip of tasteful faux wood trim. In some color combinations, the plastic, vinyl and leather interior share the rich look and feel of Toyota's upscale Lexus cars.
For 2002, additional wood trim around the gear shift in a lighter wood grain improves the interior appearance. There are still things to quibble about, however. Shoulder belts are not height-adjustable. The storage bins on the door panels are a little too narrow to be really useful.
The Solara driver looks at a crisp, legible, well-lit cluster of three gauges, with the speedometer in the center, tachometer left and the fuel gauge and water temperature on the right. The stereo buttons are big and easy to find with minimal distraction; the volume and tuning dials sit closest to the driver, exactly where they should be.
Simple radial climate-control switches allow easy adjustments. The fan is a bit loud at full speed, but almost inaudible on lower settings. Solara has both a cigarette lighter and an extra power outlet. From the stalk-mounted wiper controls to the sunroof button overhead, switch placement and operation are first rate.
The seats are excellent. The optional leather is supple and perfectly tailored, while the seats themselves are soft enough to be comfortable yet firm enough to keep the driver from feeling lazy. The seatbacks have a memory feature, so they return to the same incline position when they're leaned forward. The front passenger seat has a toe-operated lever that slides the whole seat forward for easy access to the rear.
Even though the Solara only comes with two doors, the rear seat accommodates two 6-foot adults in reasonable comfort. Grab handles, a padded armrest and an ashtray are available for back-seat passengers. In short, accommodations are better than adequate for taking friends out for a night on the town. When it's necessary to carry oversize packages, the rear seat folds flat to expand trunk space.
The Solara convertible's headliner is covered in rich-looking fabric; it's so nicely finished that you'd be hard-pressed to know you were in a convertible.
Driving Impression
The Toyota Solara is smooth and quiet and it rides nicely. It isn't a sports car, but feels competent on winding roads.
The optional V6 engine is so smooth at idle that the driver feels almost no vibration through the steering wheel, seats or floorboard. The only hint that the car is running comes as a faint resonance in the gas pedal. Pick up steam and that silky smooth quality remains. At freeway pace, there's little wind noise in the Solara's cabin even on the windiest days. As you'd expect, the convertible model is a bit noisier inside with the top up than the coupe.
Full steam in a Solara V6 comes in short order. With healthy torque, the V6 delivers a steady flow of acceleration. The four-speed automatic, which most Solara buyers will choose, takes full advantage of that power. Downshifts are as immediate as a jab at the gas pedal, and passing maneuvers are a breeze. Off the line, a Solara V6 automatic coupe manages 0-60 mph acceleration runs in the low 7-second range, making it one of the quickest cars in its class. The 3.0-liter V6 generates 200 horsepower at 5300 rpm and 214 pounds-feet of torque at 4400 rpm.
An all-new twin-cam 16-valve 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing comes on the base models. Power has been increased by 22 horsepower (to 157 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 162 pounds-feet of torque at 4000 rpm). Yet it still boasts an EPA city/highway rating of 24/33 mpg (which drops slightly with an automatic and a convertible).
When the road changes direction sharply and frequently, the Solara bears up well. The steering is less numb than that in the Camry sedan. It's more progressive in the effort required by the driver, a little bit sharper, and quick enough to keep up with rapid direction changes.
But the Solara is not a sports car. It's basic handling characteristic is understeer, a pushing at the front of the car the helps keep drivers without racing experience from getting in over their heads as they make turns. It has more body roll, or lean through the corners, than a sports car. But it is well controlled as the car's weight shifts from side. Solara is competent on all kinds of roads, and its supple ride keeps driver and passengers comfortable in all circumstances.
For entertainment value, the manual transmission gives Solara an edge on competitors. The five-speed adds another level of driver involvement, and it quickens acceleration performance and improves fuel economy by 1 mpg.
We're not enamored of Solara's optional traction-control system, however. Traction control works by limiting engine power when the drive wheels slip, and the Solara's system might be useful in climates where slippery conditions are a constant problem. Yet managing power in a front-wheel-drive automobile is less demanding than in a rear-drive car to begin with. And the Solara's system is so aggressive that it turns the car into a turtle in conditions that aren't that difficult. It's safe, mind you, just not very sporting. Fortunately, a switch allows the driver to turn it off when it's not needed.
Does Solara have that intangible quality enthusiast drivers call personality? That's a hard thing to define. Certainly, it doesn't have the spirited performance of favorites like BMW's 3 Series cars. On the other hand, compared to some of the vanilla-flavored cars from staid Toyota, the Solara has personality. It doesn't beg to be driven like a racecar, but it doesn't wilt under pressure, either.
Solara can get the blood pumping fast enough to more than satisfy most drivers. The Honda Accord coupe, Solara's most obvious competitor, has slightly more responsive steering, yet it doesn't feel as substantial as the Solara. And compared to the Chrysler Sebring coupe or convertible, or just about any car in the class, the Solara is smoother and quieter.
The Solara convertible's top operation is very simple. To lower the top, lower the sun visors, release two latches near the top corners of the.
The Toyota Solara is well executed. It's solid, roomy and reasonably fun to drive. It offers buyers the benefits of the Toyota Camry (smooth, powerful engines, quiet interiors, and rock-solid dependability) in a slick, two-door body style.
Opting for a Solara SE with the 200-horsepower V6 and available five-speed manual transmission gives the car a sporty edge. Or, the Solara can be ordered as a full-blown luxury coupe with leather upholstery, a concert hall sound system, and automatic climate control. Or, it can be a convertible, delivering top-down, fun in the sun.
Either way, the Solara delivers a blend of comfort, style and reliability that is tough to beat. With Toyota's reputation for quality, durability and reliability, the Solara is a compelling alternative to expensive cars such as the Acura 3.2 CL, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class, and Volvo C70. Anyone seeking the mix of looks, performance and practicality that defines a good coupe or convertible may want to have the Toyota Solara on their shopping list.

Jennifer Atkinson, CEO of ITC Luxury Travel, the UK's leading independent luxury tour operator, announced that she has completed a management buy-out of ITC, backed by Paul Pindar, with banking provided by Santander. Pindar, the former CEO of Capita, has been appointed Chairman of the new parent company of ITC, The Luxury Travel Group. Pindar spent 26 years at Capita, building it into a £7.5bn FTSE 100 company.
ITC Luxury Travel is one of the UK's longest established independent, luxury tour operators with revenue of over £47m. Over the past 40 years, they have amassed a wealth of experience and knowledge and have become synonymous with providing clients with exceptional service from their first conversation with a dedicated Travel Specialist through to the Concierge team who ensure every aspect of a client's holiday is exclusively commissioned for them. With its continued focus on people, the company made it onto the Top 100 Small Company to Work For list for the third year running in 2014.
The company remains 100% British owned with June Foster, of the original founding family, retaining a shareholding alongside other members of the ITC management team. The family style ethos of the company will be retained with its focus on values, partnership and people at the heart of what it does. The strategy moving forward will be to create organic growth through significant investment in people and systems together with the targeted acquisition of travel businesses both within the luxury sector and also in other specialist sectors.
Jennifer, who has been CEO of ITC for five years and joined the business ten years ago, said:
"We are excited about this new phase for ITC. Paul brings huge amounts of experience on company development and shares our ambitions to make ITC the leading luxury holiday provider in the country. We look forward to showcasing stylish holidays, sports tours and the very best hotels with our continued focus on excellence. We have built a brilliant team and we all look forward to leading the business to the next phase of its success."

More than 11 million people tuned in to watch Marty Wolff and other contestants on season three of "The Biggest Loser" weigh in for the show's finale in 2006. Despite losing 146 pounds — or 40 percent of his body weight — on the show, Wolff didn't win the title of biggest loser. However, he did gain a new mission for life: to show others what he learned about fitness.
Using the popularity of the show and his inspiring story, Wolff and his fiancée, Amy Hildreth, another season three contestant, teamed up with the YMCA of Greater Omaha (NE) to create their own weight-loss contest, Shape Up Omaha. Designed as closely as possible to the popular reality TV show, the competition is attracting new people to fitness, Wolff says.
"The TV show is definitely a positive thing for health clubs," he says. "We're getting a different kind of client — the client coming off the couch. Our job is educating people what the club is all about."
Wolff and Hildreth aren't the only ones spring-boarding off the show's popularity. Fitness facilities across the country are holding weight-loss competitions similar in style to "The Biggest Loser." Most club owners say that these types of contests are worth doing — even though the competitions can take considerable resources and staff time to implement — because they bring excitement to a facility and attract deconditioned people who are reluctant to work out at a gym.
"Contests like this help decrease intimidation because [participants] are with others who are like them," says Dr. Joey Antonio, National Strength and Conditioning Association board member and co-founder of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. "There is a fear factor when an individual starts going to the gym. They think everyone is fit. They're not, but they think that."
Mark Koops, executive producer of "The Biggest Loser," isn't surprised that health clubs have borrowed the concept. He has seen "The Biggest Loser"-style contests pop up in a number of places, from gyms and high schools to doctor's offices and hospitals.
"The fact that clubs have embraced and encourage people to form their own version of [the show] is great and provides motivation and structure for people to be accountable," says Koops. "It keeps people motivated, especially when they first start."
Name of the Game
"The Biggest Loser" helps severely overweight and obese participants undergo a radical physical makeover through diet and exercise as they compete for a grand prize of $250,000. The series gathers 18 contestants from across the country to face challenges, temptations, weigh-ins and eliminations, until the final contestant remains to claim the title of "the biggest loser." All contestants work out under the supervision of personal trainers during their stay.
As a sponsor of "The Biggest Loser" for the last five years (the show is currently casting for its sixth season), 24 Hour Fitness has gained significant publicity. The company sets up the gym for the show each season, and some of the company's more than 400 locations have served as casting call locations for the show.
The most recent season of the show features couples, so 24 Hour Fitness promoted couples personal training at its clubs. The club company also offered combination memberships and "The Biggest Loser" personal training packages with special prices.
"We've found the tie-in to be very successful, and we normally run [the promotions] for 60 to 90 days," says Tony Wells, chief marketing officer for 24 Hour Fitness. "They correlate with the show, we advertise during the show, and people have top-of-mind awareness because of it."
This past fall, a 24 Hour Fitness location in Houston, TX, partnered with its local NBC affiliate to host a "The Biggest Loser" in-club challenge. All of the challenge's participants were successful in their weight-loss efforts and inspired their community to get fit, says Liz Townsend, regional vice president of 24 Hour Fitness.
"We wanted to showcase some of our local real-life Houstonians through their path to achieving their weight-loss goals," Townsend says. "The program overall was a huge success, from our busy working mother of two to our couple who had struggled with weight loss their entire lives."
The sponsorship of the show is perfect from a marketing standpoint because the show mirrors what happens in 24 Hour Fitness clubs every day, Wells says.
"There's a lot of correlation between what happens on the show and how members engage with our brand," he says. "Through the use of personal training, [contestants] accomplish their goals. Our clubs do that every day, just on a smaller scale with less publicity and fanfare."
The Biggest Winners
Although 24 Hour Fitness may be the exclusive partner of the show — in fact, clubs can be sued if they use "The Biggest Loser" name because it's a trademarked property of NBC — plenty of fitness facilities are finding success by recreating similar weight-loss competitions in house.
"The Biggest Loser" served as inspiration for Grand Forks (ND) Air Force Base's Sports, Fitness and Aquatics Center's weight-loss competition last year. By telling people the contest was similar in format to the TV show, Geraldine Cronk, fitness director at the fitness center, says that participants who had seen the show understood better what to expect from the base's contest. It was especially good for people who had never really been in the gym or hadn't worked out in a long time, she says.
The competition included 40 teams of two people. Teams consisted of spouses, co-workers, friends, and even a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law team. Body weight was taken together for each team, making each individual accountable, she says.
"The partners know each other and motivate each other," Cronk says. "Even in couples, if a husband was deployed, he'd go to a fitness center where he was and e-mail his weight in from afar so that his wife could continue in the game and not get discouraged and stop."
Last year, the winning team lost 15 percent of its combined body fat during the three-month competition. The second place team lost 13 percent of its combined body fat.
Due to the program's success, Cronk wanted to do another competition this year but was deployed to Korea from her position in the fitness center.
"If I had a chance, I'd do it again," she says.
The Stillwater Family YCMA in Stillwater, OK, started its first "The Biggest Loser"-style weight-loss competition in January. The competition is open to members and nonmembers, costing $10 to $48, depending on individual or team status and if the participant is a member or nonmember. The Y fitness staff was expecting 30 or 40 participants but had 93 people sign up for the program, says Crystal Burton, assistant fitness coordinator for the Stillwater Family Y. All nonmembers, who make up about half of the contest participants, received a free one-month pass to the Y. Many of those nonmembers have since signed up for a full-year membership, she says.
"The big thing is getting them in here and getting them started and showing them how they can benefit from it," Burton says. "The one-month free membership really helped. Many of them are deconditioned."
When the contest ends on May 1, the top three teams or individuals with the largest percentage of weight loss will win up to $100 in gift certificates. Competition and prizes give participants extra motivation to work out harder and reach their goals, Burton says.
Wolff says that he sees the same sort of competitive atmosphere in Shape Up Omaha that he felt on the show.
"Attitude is contagious. People think, 'If they can do it. I can do it,'" he says. "So if someone is on the treadmill at a three percent incline, then the guy next to him will bump his up to six percent. Competition has an effect on the whole gym. People have that little competitive edge and step it up."
Team Effort
Despite the TV show's competitive nature, not all fitness centers are focusing on competition in their weight-loss contests. Instead, some facilities are favoring community over competition to encourage more people to participate.
Staff members at the Charles King Gym on Naval Base Guam run the six-week Got Excuses fitness program quarterly. The program touches on nutrition, fitness and emotional triggers for unhealthy behaviors, says Token Barnthouse, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), Guam Fitness, Sports and Deployed Forces support director.
To cover costs, fees for the program are $25 per participant. Each program brings in about 15 to 17 participants, and 90 percent of each group successfully loses weight, says Sheila Litty, MWR Guam fitness coordinator.
"Competition is healthy and fun, but I always make it an option because it scares some away," Litty says. "The weekly weigh-ins hold each patron accountable for their accomplishments from week to week, but it can be very intimidating for some to step on a scale in front of others."
Because each facility is different, club management should feel free to tailor their contest to participants, operators say. For example, although Burton at the Stillwater Family Y wanted to hold physical challenges just like the TV show does, it just wasn't feasible because the contest's participants had a wide range of ages and abilities.
"We have people in their 80s, and the best exercise for them is water group exercise class," Burton explains. "They couldn't flip a tire over 100 times, so we make it about their goal weight."
Also, by tailoring contests to their members' needs, clubs can help members create relationships and foster a sense of community at a facility, which is priceless when it comes to retention and keeping your members happy and engaged. To help deepen the social element of the contest, Burton plans on setting aside time for the contestants to discuss what is and is not working for them in their weight-loss efforts during the Stillwater Family Y's next competition.
Weighing In
Clubs' success with these contests has not come without hard work and planning. 24 Hour Fitness is always working ahead on marketing tie-ins for the next season of the TV show. For Shape Up Omaha, Wolff and Hildreth work with the Y of Greater Omaha to teach boot camps, create nutrition and fitness plans, run weigh-ins and develop challenges for the contest. Every one of the 92 participants in the program is also paired with a trainer from the Y.
"The smallest details are probably the most important," Wolff says. "Everything has to be drawn out with all of the details of the competition."
Although the Stillwater Family Y put together its weight-loss contest quickly, four staff members worked on the program, meeting often and taking care of responsibilities individually.
Besides working out the contest details (for more tips on how to create a weight-loss competition, see the sidebar on page 48), many clubs spend considerable time marketing the contest. The Stillwater Y put up fliers around town, and a local newspaper did an article on the competition.
The 44,000-square-foot Airport Health Club in Santa Rosa, CA, hit the marketing jackpot for its Big Booty Weight-Loss Challenge. The club's management worked with a local country radio station to help with the contest, which pitted two teams of six, each led by a morning show deejay, against each other. One team worked out at the Airport Health Club, and the other worked out at another Santa Rosa, CA, fitness facility. The Airport Health Club gave its team a free three-month membership, did fitness assessments for them and, through a donation from a manufacturer, gave each of them a heart-rate monitor watch.
The deejays talked about their weight-loss issues and progress on their morning radio show every day, and hundreds applied to be on their teams, says Paula Potter, club manager.
"We've had some excitement, and more people come into the club because of the contest, especially during the lead-up to the contest," she says. "Everyone wanted a free three-month membership. There was a lot of hype from that point."
Because of the success of the contest, Potter plans on creating an in-house weight-loss challenge of some sort in the future.
Although none of the people at the facilities interviewed had tracked the retention rate of members who had participated in these competitions, they all plan to continue or expand their contests. Management at the Stillwater Family Y plans to start a contest every January to coincide with New Year's resolutions, and Wolff and Hildreth want to bring their program to other cities. The couple also created their own company, Reality Wellness Inc., which offers online training, life-management coaching, fitness boot camps and workplace wellness initiatives.
With all the success fitness facilities are having with these contests, do "The Biggest Loser" executives mind that their show's concept is being copied? No, Koops says. They're actually flattered.
"Our partnership with 24 Hour Fitness and other fitness clubs embracing the show is positive for everyone," he says. "We hope clubs continue to do so, and we hope that the show can continue to promote the fitness industry by promoting health and fitness."
14 Tips for Creating a Weight-Loss Competition
- Get doctor approval
Many participants may have underlying medical conditions or chronic disease. As with any personal training client, get a physician's OK to work with them.
- Obtain legible contact information
Make sure you have addresses, phone numbers, cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses for all participants so that you can communicate with them before, during and after the competition.
- Get real
Staff members should work with participants to ensure that they have reasonable expectations when it comes to weight loss. Losing up to 20 pounds a week — something that contestants on the TV show do frequently — is an unrealistic and even unhealthy goal for those outside of "The Biggest Loser" set.
- Set rules
Some competitive participants may try using laxatives, weight-loss supplements or dehydration to lose extra pounds for weigh-ins. At the beginning of the contest, give contestants a list of rules and have a dietitian educate them on the negative effects of these supplements and practices.
- Have a back-up plan
Make sure that more than one person knows how to weigh contestants, calculate percentage of body weight lost, teach boot camps, etc. This way, if someone is out, the contest can continue with minimal problems.
- Don't just focus on fitness
Workouts are only part of the weight-loss equation. Be sure to give participants general information on healthy eating. Scheduling time for participants to meet with a registered dietitian as a group or one-on-one is even better, club managers say.
- Diversify participants' workouts
Hire motivational trainers who are experienced and can make workouts fun and different for each participant. Take advantage of all of your facility's amenities, such as pools and climbing walls, and don't be afraid to take workouts outside.
- Respect participants' privacy
Many participants will be uncomfortable being weighed in front of others. Consider weighing all contestants privately or give them the option of being weighed in a separate, private room. When it comes to posting results, consider listing only participants' percentage of weight lost each week, instead of making actual weights public.
- Use the same scale
Scales can vary widely, so for consistency from weigh-in to weigh-in and to ensure fairness, use one scale that can weigh up to 500 pounds. If testing body fat percentage, use the same device or have the same person measure with calipers.
- Make it social
Plan non-workout-related events to help foster a community. Encourage local businesses to donate healthy foods or services, such as a massage, so that participants can bond over more than just which piece of cardio equipment they like best.
- Tailor challenges
Challenges are not one-size-fits-all. When designing physical ones, take into account members' ages and abilities. If participants are extremely varied, design challenges that test fitness or nutritional knowledge rather than physical strength or cardiovascular endurance.
- Test fitness gains halfway through
This can show participants how much they've improved their health and help motivate them to the end of the competition.
- Don't forget to help them maintain
Consider creating a similar style contest that encourages participants to maintain the weight they've lost. At the least, encourage them to consider personal training or, if it's a nonmember, to consider joining your facility so that they can continue their workouts.
- Track participants after the contest
To see how effective contests are in helping to retain members, track how long former contest participants stay with the club and how often they use the club to see if the contests are worthwhile long term.

Now, 'cooler bags' to keep food safe for 5 days
Always worried how to keep your tasty food from going stale on long holidays? Here is good news for you. A Finnish firm has developed a non-electric cooling bag which can keep your food chilled for at least 4-5 days.world Updated: Jul 20, 2013 17:15 IST
Always worried how to keep your tasty food from going stale on long holidays? Here is good news for you. A Finnish firm has developed a non-electric cooling bag which can keep your food chilled for at least 4-5 days.
The innovation dubbed "super cooler bag" has been designed by the Icebridge Oy company based in Tuusula, near Helsinki, news website goodnewsfinland.com reported.
Company CEO Jukka H'm'l'inen said a "non-electric cooling system" developed by the company can be used in many different applications, such as in cooler bags.
"In practice, the basic product is ready but the product for the consumer market is still undergoing a few adjustments. We aim to complete the development work by the end of the year," the official said.
The most noticeable benefit of the "super cooler bag" over traditional cooler bags is its long-lasting and reliable temperature control. The product is designed for conditions in which electric or otherwise-powered refrigeration space is not available or is insufficient.
"Our product is especially suited for travel, long hiking trips, staying at the summer cottage, sailing excursions and other kinds of events such as festivals," said H'm'l'inen.
He said the largest markets for the bag will be in the Middle East and in North America. Icebridge's flagship product is a non-electric refrigeration system for airline catering.
It is based on a patented technology developed by inventor Jarmo Aurekoski. The system cools the serving trolley evenly and for a sustained period, meaning that food can be kept cool for up to 23 hours.
The CEO said that 10 airlines have been using Icebridge products. Dutch airline KLM has been flying with Icebridge coolers for over a year. The company has calculated that the product has helped save €1.2 million per year, he said.
