Every last Friday of the month, you can read my news round-up of what's happening in the world of luxury travel. In this issue:
Asiana Airlines of South Korea has taken delivery of its first A350-900, becoming the 12th airline to operate the world's newest and most efficient twin-engine widebody airliner.

Altogether Asiana has ordered 30 A350s and will initially operate the aircraft on flights within Asia. From the third quarter of 2017, the carrier will deploy the aircraft on premier long haul routes to Europe and the US, beginning with services from Seoul to London and San Francisco. To date, Airbus has recorded a total of 821 firm orders for the A350 XWB from 44 customers worldwide, already making it one of the most successful widebody aircraft ever.2. Conrad Bora Bora Nui in French Polynesia opens its doors
This 115-room resort, formerly known as Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa, re-opened as the Conrad Bora Bora Nui after undergoing a multimillion-dollar refurbishment. Conrad Bora Bora Nui is located in a private cove on Motu To'opua, an islet off the coast of Bora Bora, about 20 minutes by boat from Bora Bora Airport. Offering panoramic ocean views, access to sea sports, coral reef dive sites and hiking trails, the beachfront Conrad Bora Bora Nui features 29 tropical garden and beach villas and 86 overwater bungalows, including the destination's only double-story Presidential Suites.

Vietnam Airlines introduces A350 service to Tokyo
Vietnam Airlines welcomed its inaugural Airbus A350-900 XWB service to Haneda (Tokyo, Japan), the 5th destination of airline's Airbus A350 fleet. Previously, Vietnam Airlines has introduced the operation of the A350 aircraft on the Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh city – Paris (France) route and Hanoi – Seoul (Korea) route from October 2015, Ho Chi Minh city – Shanghai (China) route from April 2016 and Ho Chi Minh city – Osaka (Japan) route from October 2016. This is part of the national carrier's plan to replace the wide-body fleet on long-haul flights. Mr. Nguyen Quang Trung, General Manager of Vietnam Airlines' Japanese branch said: "Vietnam Airlines is proud to bring Airbus A350 to Hanoi – Haneda (Tokyo) route in order to meet the increasing travel demand between the two busy cities. This will also contribute to the development of tourism and trade between Vietnam and Japan, as well as reaffirms the position, image and superior quality of services that Vietnam Airlines offers to the Japanese market".

Sao Paulo's newest and most luxurious hotel opens next week
With an exceptional location in the heart of the economic capital of Brazil – São Paulo – Palácio Tangará will open its doors on May 10th. Built in the surroundings of the highly regarded Burle Marx Park under the auspices of architects B+H Architects, Bick Simonato and PAR Arquitetura, the hotel will offer 141 spacious guestrooms – including 59 suites – all with beautiful views overlooking the park. The interior design has been entrusted to leading Brazilian interior design firms Bick Simonato and Anastassiadis who have created a truly bespoke design concept for each space.

Celso Do Valle – the managing director – said "I believe that with such Brazilian contemporary elegance, our spacious rooms and suites, combined with our magnificent ballrooms and banqueting spaces, an exceptional culinary experience from world-renowned Michelin starred Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and our remarkable "Spa by Sisley", we will offer guests something quite outstanding in São Paulo".5. Emirates cuts service to USA
According to USA Today, Emirates is reducing its schedule to the United States, saying demand has dropped in the wake of a new electronics ban for carry-ons and broader attempts by the Trump administration to restrict travelers from several Muslim-majority nations. Emirates will not cut any of its 12 U.S. destinations, but it will pare the number of flights it flies to five of those. "Until the start of 2017, Emirates' operations in the U.S. has seen healthy growth and performance, driven by customer demand for our high-quality product and our international flight connections", Emirates said in its statement. "However, over the past 3 months, we have seen a significant deterioration in the booking profiles on all our U.S. routes, across all travel segments. Emirates has therefore responded as any profit-oriented enterprise would, and we will redeploy capacity to serve demand on other routes on our global network". Emirates' announcement detailed changes on the following routes:
Despite the service cuts, Emirates struck an optimistic tone that the reductions might be short-lived.6. Six Senses takes over management of a famous Bodrum property
Six Senses – one of my favorite hotel brands in the world – has announced that they have taken over management of the Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort at Kaplankaya, near Bodrum. The resort – now called the Six Senses Kaplankaya – is nestled on a spectacular peninsula of the sun-kissed Aegean coast in Turkey and lies directly on the waterfront in Turgutreis, approximately 20 km (12 mi) from the centre of Bodrum. Undulating hills clad in evergreens, wild olives and cypresses amplify the invitation extended by warm breezes and the turquoise sea's gently lapping waves. Presenting a robust mosaic of architecture, history and art, the resort is within easy reach of many archeological sites including two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The resort will be open for this summer season, but then undergo an exciting transformation later this year. Guests will be welcomed with interior enhancements reflecting Six Senses style, upgraded gardens and landscaping plus many not-to-be-missed experiences in 2018.7. Six Senses announces an Ibiza property
Some more exciting news from the Six Senses Hotel group. Tucked away on the peaceful northern tip of Ibiza is crystalline Cala Xarraca Bay. Located just 30 minutes from the airport, this will become the inspiring setting for Six Senses Ibiza, to be opened in 2020. Six Senses Ibiza will offer 134 guest accommodations across a 25-acre (10-hectare) site including fully appointed Townhouse Suites, Deluxe Pool Suites with private decks, Beach Cave Suites and two extraordinary six-bedroom Mansions. Available for a handful of residential buyers will be nine captivating private villas located above the resort with expansive sunset views. Every aspect of the property's physical design will facilitate the feeling of community and the activities and amenities offered to guests will focus on learning and experience. This third European property will complement the Six Senses resort in Portugal's Douro Valley, a Six Senses residential project in Courchevel, France and seven fabulous Six Senses spas in France, Greece, Spain, Switzerland and the UK".8. One&Only Resorts to open two safari lodges in Rwanda
Following the success of One&Only's first landlocked property – Australia's Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley – the Dubai-based hospitality brand has announced plans to further expand its portfolio beyond the ultra-luxe beachside resorts for which it is best known. According to Robb Report, he all new One&Only Nature Resorts portfolio will feature Wolgan Valley as well as two new Rwandan properties: One&Only Nyungwe House and One&Only Gorilla's Nest. Each new luxury lodge will feature the same exclusive location and access of other One&Only properties—and both will strive to follow Wolgan Valley in achieving carbon-neutral certifications by CarbonZero. Situated on a working tea plantation on the edge of Nyungwe National Park, One&Only Nyungwe House will be the first of the two new resorts to open, welcoming its first guests this July. Exploratory treks and hikes through the forest give guests access to the park's nearly 250,000 acres, where they can discover black-and-white colobus monkeys, gray-cheeked mangabeys, and more than 275 bird species. After full days out in the park, guests can retire to the resort's modern suites and villas, each featuring decor accented with traditional African touches and vast private decks equipped with fireplaces. Nestled nearly 150 miles north among the eucalyptus trees in the foothills of the Virunga Volcano Range will be One&Only Gorilla's Nest, scheduled to open in 2018. The resort will provide a luxurious home base for mountain gorilla treks. In addition to architecture and interior design that will honor the natural beauty of the surrounding area, the camp's restaurant and spa will also have a local focus.9. Qantas puts the new Kangaroo route on sale
Non-stop flights from Australia to Europe can be booked for the first time, with tickets for Qantas' Perth-London (Heathrow) route being on sale since this week. Daily flights on the history-making route begin on 24 March 2018 and form part of a new Melbourne-Perth-London return service. The services will be operated by Qantas' new Boeing 787-Dreamliner – an aircraft designed specifically for comfort on long-haul sectors. Passengers from Australian cities will be able to connect to London via Perth, while inbound passengers will be able to transfer from the West Australian capital to onward destinations across the country. There's also expected to be a surge in stopovers within Western Australia itself. The new QF9/10 will replace Qantas' existing Melbourne-Dubai-London services – marking the next evolution of the Kangaroo Route, seven decades after the national carrier first flew Australians all the way to London. The travel experience for customers connecting in Perth will be seamless, with Qantas building a new international transit lounge at Perth Airport.10. United Airlines announces changes to improve customer experience
By now, everyone has heard of the events from United Express Flight 3411 on April 9, 2017, when a customer flying from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport to Louisville International Airport was forcibly removed from a United aircraft (you can watch the shameful clip here). As a response, United Airlines announced this week 10 substantial changes to how it flies, serves and respects its customers:
While several of these policies are effective immediately, others will be rolled out through the remainder of the year. The facts of what happened aboard Flight 3411 and a full review of United's changes can be found at hub.united.com.

WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 22, 2008 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that its consulting division has successfully completed an engagement at Dongbu HiTek, resulting in a 50 percent reduction in tape-to-mask turnaround time (TAT) while maintaining consistent manufacturing quality and yield. The improvements were achieved by optimizing Dongbu HiTek's overall RET/MDP flow and taking advantage of the newest capabilities of the Calibre® OPC and Calibre OPCverifyTM software solutions for lithography process simulation and correction.
According to Dr. Jae Song, executive vice president of marketing at Dongbu HiTek, "We're very happy with the results of our partnership with Mentor Consulting. The results of this engagement have enabled Dongbu HiTek to substantially accelerate time-to- mass production for its customers. For example, we can accomplish the OPC flow for a 110 nanometer multi project wafer in two days compared to ten days before this engagement. For a chip requiring several respins, faster OPC TAT can accelerate mass production by more than 30 days. Mentor Consulting completed the engagement on time, and the OPC TAT improvements of 50 to 80 percent exceeded our expectations."
Dongbu HiTek, headquartered in Seoul, Korea, provides wafer processing supported by comprehensive design support (IP and design libraries), prototype development and verification, and packaging and module development that add high value to display and various mobile applications.
The four month project, which started in March 2008 performed by consultants from Mentor's Cairo Office and Dongbu HiTek's OPC engineers, included migrating Dongbu HiTek to the latest release of the Calibre OPC and OPCverify products to take full advantage of new tool capabilities. Mentor Consulting also implemented its RET/MDP optimization methodology to improve Dongbu HiTek's overall RET/MDP flow to achieve faster turnaround while maintaining accurate OPC models and recipes, validated by mask quality and pattern fidelity measurements. During the engagement, Mentor Consulting also transferred best practices for achieving optimal flow performance to the Dongbu HiTek team to enable them to make future optimizations and to adapt to evolving process requirements.
"Mentor Graphics operates on the 'partnership principle,' providing both technologies and methodologies tailored to the needs of our customers," said Paul Hofstadler, vice president of Worldwide Consulting at Mentor Graphics. "We place emphasis on finishing our tasks on time and within budget, and on sharing knowledge with our customers regarding how the improvements were accomplished and what further optimizations might be possible in the future. We are already providing services below 32nm, so Mentor Consulting is our customers' preferred choice when they are ready to move to the next technology node, or to optimize their existing tape-to-mask flow."
About Calibre OPC Products
The Calibre OPC product is a full-chip, lithography correction tool used to create mask layers in preparation for wafer fabrication. The software enables complete simulation of the photolithographic manufacturing process and outputs modified layout shapes for mask making to enable pattern resolution in sub-wavelength photolithographic processes. It is fully integrated into the Calibre physical verification and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) platform, enabling completely integrated processing in a single batch run, from design tapeout through fracturing for mask making.
The Calibre OPCverify product is a post-OPC verification tool used to detect systematic yield loss problems before a design is sent to the mask or wafer manufacturer. The Calibre OPCverify solution checks every element and contour, not just edges, for critical failure detection and full process window prediction. It also enables users to optimize their OPC models and recipes during technology development. High scalability and integration with the Calibre platform ensure fast turnaround time for all mask verification operations.
About Mentor Consulting
Mentor Consulting is an expert in electronic design automation infrastructure and methodology, and is the only service partner in the industry that invests specifically in the transfer of knowledge to its customers. Every consultant is chartered with improving customer proficiency in the methodologies and technologies employed in an engagement, while concurrently achieving customer objectives.

January is Fiber Focus Month! So feast your eyes on this fantastic list, featuring the best new fiber-ific finds around. Fiber rocks...
3/4 cup: 80 calories, 1g fat, 130mg sodium, 25g carbs, 9g fiber, 5g sugars, 1g protein -- PointsPlus® value 2*
Yum, yum, YUM! Our pals at F1 have churned out yet another amazing guilt-free cereal. Sweet, desserty cereals are generally loaded with sugar and low on fiber. Not this stuff! These new chocolatey squares are EXACTLY the kind of thing we crave. And not just for breakfast -- as a snack too. Plus, with such impressive nutritionals, this truly is a great option any time of day or night. (Okay, maybe not in the dead of night. But otherwise, fair game!)

Your next meal is far enough away that eating nothing 'til then is out of the question, but you don't want to spoil your appetite either. HELLO, Hi-Fiber Minis. Just like the full-sized bars we know and love, these chewy treats taste amazing. The Minis come in three delicious flavors: Banana Walnut, Chocolate Brownie, and Cinnamon Raisin. Each one has a mere 70 calories, yet it's crammed with 6g of fiber, which will calm down that nagging hunger of yours. Perfect! Click to see if Gnu is sold near you, or go ahead and buy online.

And they're especially convenient in a pinch, since they're shelf stable -- keep 'em on hand for when you need a hearty meal FAST. Find 'em in the supermarket with the other microwaveable meals. Pssst... These'd be GREAT with some Tyson Grilled & Ready chicken mixed in.
1 VitaPizza: 190 calories, 2.5 - 3g fat, 460 - 490mg sodium, 38g carbs, 19g fiber, 4g sugars, 15 - 16g protein -- PointsPlus® value 5*

Shoe Care
Brushed Suede Cleaning and Maintenance in the Shoes
With a wire brush can clean dirt and dust or dirt from shoes and then shake to remove all the dirt, at least in part. Then we look for the natural fall plush suede brush to proceed properly seeking direction of the hair. When dealing with plush splits, running his hand just above the right direction appreciate your hair.
But sometimes we can find a somewhat worn split because of its continued use, to get it back, we suggest you do the following:
Apply the steam resulting from boil some water. A teapot is suitable container as the steam emanating from it, goes perfectly controlled and proceed to approach it the leading shoe care and take appropriate precautions to not get burned with steam. Then we'll let the split dry naturally and when it is completely dry, cepillaremos footwear using a metal bristle brush.
To prevent the footwear from losing its shape, assuming it has been dampened too much, the best solution is to make balls of newspaper and place them inside the shoe so that the pair of shoes is the shape of the mold while pineth. Never force drying of split applying a heat source as it may encojer and let wrinkles or marks.
In the event that the split is smeared with glue or glue a piece of crepe it is the best tool to remove any glue or adhesive. In the event of not crepe, a piece of dry bread can make the function.

Joe Klein, writing for Time Magazine, is surprised that the neocon Bill Kristol would come out against the Second Amendment.
"People have a right to handguns and hunting rifles," Kristol told Fox News. "I don't think they have a right to semiautomatic, quasi–machine guns that can shoot hundred of bullets at a time. And I actually think the Democrats are being foolish as they are being cowardly. I think there is more support for some moderate forms of gun control."
Klein and other apologists for the coercive power of the state over the individual often feign misunderstanding of their supposed political opponents on the other side of the false left-right paradigm. Kristol and the neocon faction supported by the ruling elite, of course, are on the same page as Klein and supposed "moderate" or liberal Democrats, although they usually pretend to be ideologically opposed.
Democrat senator Chuck Schumer and the gun-grabbers in Congress say the Second Amendment protects hunters and people who buy handguns and rifles for self-defense. This is, however, nothing more than a cynical effort to placate and distract millions of Americans who believe they have a right to own guns, for whatever reason (many Americans are ignorant of the reason the Second Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights). Schumer and Kristol and the gun-grabber crowd in Washington are moving to reinstall Clinton's assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
The Second Amendment, of course, has nothing to do with deer hunting or home invasions. The founders knew self-defense was not only a natural right, but a duty. The Second Amendment was designed to put a stop to tyrannical government.
"The question is: Why would anyone need an assault rifle?" asks Jim Shea of the Hartford Courant. "As far as I can determine, the answer is: We the people need assault rifles in case the government tries to take away our assault rifles."
Shea skirts the issue ignored by the defenders of the state's monopoly of violence like Bill Kristol and Chuck Schumer. He falls short of actually understanding why the Second Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights, although his op-ed hints that he may actually have a clue.
Council on Foreign Relations member and Guggenheim fellow Joe Klein is a bit more circumspect and strives to come off as a "moderate" on gun control. After admitting that gun violence is at a historically low level, he writes that "mass shootings have exploded in frequency since the 1970s" while ignoring the fact that multiple victim homicides are so small as to be almost insignificant. 0.1% of mass shootings involved five or more victims, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Moreover, Klein's characterization that mass shootings have exploded is a gross exaggeration – the proportion of homicide incidents involving two victims increased slightly from 2.7% in 1980 to 3.7% in 2008. Homicide incidents involving three or more victims increased during this same period, but remained less than 1% of all homicides each year. This hardly qualifies as an explosion.
The inability of government "to have this conversation now," Klein writes, "says a lot about the paralytic dysfunction of our political system" and its inability to radically clip the Second Amendment. Outlawing semi-automatic weapons "should be a no-brainer," the world government club member argues.
The game plan of the global elite, represented in the corporate media by Joe Klein, should be a no-brainer as well. It may be so-called "assault weapons" today – that Kristol idiotically states "can shoot hundred of bullets at a time" – but it will be all weapons tomorrow. The anti-gun treaty now before the United Nations includes provisions for the registration and licensing, micro-stamping ammunition, and restrictions on the private transfers of guns.
The highly suspicious mass shooting in Colorado arrived at exactly the right time for the globalists and their corporate media scriveners. Outlawing semi-automatic weapons with brand spanking new assault weapons legislation will now take center stage and will be used as a stepping stone for more draconian legislation down the road.

Attorneys for Bobby L. Cutts Jr. set out to protect his right to a fair trial, starting with who might be on a jury that hears the case.
Attorneys for Bobby L. Cutts Jr. set out to protect his right to a fair trial, starting with who might be on a jury that hears the case. Jury selection was one of several issues discussed Friday by defense attorneys, county prosecutors and the judge during a hearing at the Stark County Jail. Stark County Common Pleas Judge Charles E. Brown Jr. denied most of the 20-some defense motions, which is not uncommon. Cutts, 30, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated murder and other charges tied to the deaths of Jessie M. Davis, 26, of Lake Township, and her unborn daughter. If convicted, he faces a potential death sentence. Cutts, a Canton police officer, and Davis have a young son, and Davis' family has said he was the father of the unborn child, a girl to be named Chloe. Defense attorneys wanted to include licensed drivers in the list of potential jurors. They contend it would expand the pool and include more minorities. "We just want to make sure our client has a fair trial and the jury represents a fair cross-section of the community," defense attorney Fernando Mack said after the hearing. The court generally selects jurors from among registered voters. As it is, nearly 90 percent of county residents are white, according to census figures, and all-white juries are not uncommon. Cutts is African-American. Just as race is a factor in American society, it's a factor in this case, added defense attorney Myron Watson. Publicity also is a concern. The case attracted national media attention when Davis, nine months pregnant, went missing. Her body was recovered June 23 from a Summit County park. Prosecutors opposed the request to expand the jury pool and Stark County Common Pleas Judge Charles E. Brown Jr. denied the motion. The judge also denied motions dealing with evidence held by prosecutors, grand jury proceedings and the legality of the death penalty. Many of the requests were standard for a death-penalty case, which can involve as many 70 motions. Mack said the hearing went as expected. The defense can ask Brown to reconsider his rulings, including the ones concerning jury selection. Stark County Prosecutor John D. Ferrero said his office will follow the court's rules and wants Cutts to have a fair trial, including a fair and impartial jury. Neither side discussed evidence in the case, citing the judge's gag order, but Mack said prosecutors have provided much of the information sought by the defense. Employment Status Earlier this week, city officials held a pre-disciplinary hearing for Cutts, who is suspended without pay. Safety Director Bernard Hunt said he will not make a decision on Cutts' employment status until the court case concludes. The city says Cutts violated work rules pertaining to conformance to laws, reporting to work and conduct unbecoming of a police officer. Under the Canton Police Patrolmen's Association union contract, the safety director cannot render a decision on disciplinary charges if they stem from criminal charges. Hunt said the disciplinary charges are related to the case. Canton Repository writer Ed Balint contributed to this story.

Stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe is pregnant – bananas!
The star of "The Rachel Zoe" project finally weighed in Wednesday on rumors that she and hubby/businessman Rodger Berman are expecting their first child.
"Hey everyone! I want to officially confirm to my loyal friends and followers that I am pregnant!..." she wrote on Twitter, Usmagazine.com reported. "I feel great, Rodger and I are beyond excited and so thankful for all of your love and support."
U.S. & World
Celebrity news sites first reported last month that the 39-year-old Bravo reality star was pregnant, citing anonymous sources.
Zoe and Berman married in 1998, seven years after having met while both were working at nearby restaurants, according to Bravo.
Berman spent much of last season on "The Rachel Zoe Project" trying to convince his wife to slow down so they could start a family.
Looks like he won the argument.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Subcommittee on the Church in Africa approved funding for 51 projects, worth over $1.35 million in grants, to aid the pastoral work of the Church in 14 countries across the African continent. The decisions were made during the subcommittee's meeting November 13, in Baltimore.
The subcommittee considers for grants projects that support pastoral and catechetical programs, seminaries and seminarians, the continuing education of clergy, communications and mass media as tools for evangelization, and Catholic education and schools. Funds come from parish collections through a USCCB effort called the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa.
For example, in this most recent allocation the subcommittee granted $17,000 to support pastoral work among the Borana people in remote regions of southern Ethiopia. In this region, the Spiritan Fathers work to evangelize among the nomadic people. Seeds of faith have been sown resulting in men studying for the priesthood, women applying to religious communities, and large numbers of catechumens and baptisms. The funding will support ongoing religious education and essential training of volunteer catechists who come with great passion for the faith but, often, little formal education.
"As we reviewed over one hundred pages of applications, the vibrancy of the faith in Africa was apparent. What was also clear was the tremendous need of the Church there," said Bishop John Ricard, chairman of the subcommittee. "It was wonderful to be able to match funds given so generously by Catholics in the United States to those needs. To be part of the growth of the faith of our sisters and brothers in Africa is a great blessing. We are so very grateful to parishioners who support the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa."
The Subcommittee on the Church in Africa oversees the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa as part of the USCCB Committee on National Collections. In 2011 it granted $2.3 million for pastoral support. More information on the Solidarity Fund and the projects it funds can be found at http://www.usccb.org/catholic-giving/opportunities-for-giving/solidarity-fund-for-africa/.

An attorney for a nominee to the Maryland House of Delegates is asking the court to prevent the Prince George's County Democratic Central Committee from withdrawing the nomination, News4's Darcy Spencer reported.
County Democrats will hold an emergency meeting Monday night to discuss whether to pull businessman Greg Hall's nomination to serve in the House. Hall's critics are urging Gov. Martin O'Malley to pull his name from consideration because of his checkered past. Hall was convicted of a misdemeanor gun charge in the 1990s and was cleared of a murder charge.
His supporters want the governor to focus on the good he's done in recent years.
"He was a troubled youth earlier on," Jazz Lewis of the Prince George's County Young Democrats told News4. "But since then, he has worked with municipal leaders to address drug paraphernalia [and] prostitution, [and] spear economic development."
The county's Democratic Central Committee picked Hall to succeed Delegate Tiffany Alston. She was convicted of stealing money from the state.
O'Malley must decide by midnight tonight whether to withdraw his name from consideration.
Hall's attorney wants his client appointed to the seat immediately, saying O'Malley has violated his constitutional duty, Spencer reported.
Critics say Hall's appointment could make Prince George's County look bad and could hurt the governor's future political aspirations.
"You can't get tied up into, 'what if people say this about me when I'm running for president?'" Larry Stafford Jr. of the Prince George's County Young Democrats said. "I don't believe [Governor O'Malley] is thinking like that, and I'd hope he isn't thinking like that."

A "Ladies" Touch:
It was on the night of January 20th. It was Point of Grace. For just a moment, it reminded me of the movie "The Perfect Storm." If you remember, in the movie a 'perfect storm' destroyed the crew and the ship. It took a "perfect storm" to do that, a storm so unusual, a storm so specifically unique had to occur to destroy that crew, a storm with just the perfect ingredients. That perfect storm happened and the ship was destroyed. Well, how does that relate to the Point of Grace concert? It was the perfect night. Everything was just right, it was a perfect setting for a "great" concert to take place and it all came together for one of the most impressive concert WBVN has ever produced. It was the "perfect concert." I'm going to share with you why I think that.
I'm going to let you peak behind the curtain a little bit. Concerts begin with calls to artist agents and conversations about travel expenses to and from the concert, meals, financial considerations, phone numbers to exchange, security, sound systems, light systems, spot lights, load in crews, insurance coverage, maps to the venue, publicity, hotel rooms, ticket prices, road managers, location for the event, the dates that work and general information in what is called 'a concert rider.' A 'rider' is pages and pages of detail and organization to make sure everyone's on the same page. That all begins months before the actual event and each item must be agreed to, must be organized, and must 'come together' for a successful two-hour performance. Contracts are mailed, signed and exchanged. Tickets are printed and sold. A play list is created at the station of the artist music and 'spots' are written, produced and rotated to give the public the information needed.
All that takes place slowly and particularly for a successful concert. But all that doesn't make a 'great concert.' You need more than that. You need some things that can't be written into contracts, things that while you hope for and you might have a conversation about with the agent, they are things that for the most part come out of the 'heart.' Things that come from the motivation of the producer and things that you trust will show up when the artist and their management arrive at the venue.
We have a load in crew that volunteers for the event: we have a Phil and a Phil, Danny, Nathan, Bill, Keith and Ann, Aaron, Mike, Seth, John, Chase, Gup and there's a Cindy, Rachel, Barbara, Jane, Laura, Dan and Trina, Brittany, Tammy, Sherry and Tim, Jerry and Linda, Larry, Matt, David and Colleen. I'm not sure that's all of them but it's some of them and they make the concert possible for all of us by helping out. The WBVN staff: Alisha, Andria, Amy and Tom are all involved with the production as well. Chris Parton does the sound and David Schell makes sure the lighting and spots are taken care of. Mike, Bill, Julie and David are our host at the Civic Center and they always do their part to make 'the room' a pleasant place to work. There's petty cash to remember to get, contracts to have on hand. We have an audio recorder to get 'liners' for the station. Alisha scripts those for us. Must remember to have towels on the scene. Water's a must. Then there are the points in time when the load-in happens, sound checks take place at an agreed to time. Food must be in place at exactly the right time so the artists get a warm meal, not a cold 'rice' dish. Must get the CD's, t-shirts, necklaces, rings, caps, song books, pictures all inventoried and on the tables. Need to remember the checks, seems like lots of checks need to be taken. We take the newsletter sign-up book. We take a CD of mixed music to play before the concert, got to entertain that hour you know. Four stools for the stage. Get the piano tuned. Fruit and candy for the dressing rooms. Make sure the hotel rooms are reserved and probably add one room because someone is coming that we didn't know about early in the contract discussions. WOW! That's quite a laundry list. But we have it all in place. People are lined up outside and we're just about ready. You know what, all that can make a good concert, but all that can't make a great concert. Here's what makes a great concert.
At about 2 pm, Cliff Young arrives, POG road manager, and immediately puts everyone at ease with his friendly manner. Matt's with him (Leigh's [POG] husband, by the way, who plays the guitar and works the inventory for the table of CDs, shirts and pictures out in the lobby). The 'girls' get there about 3:30, at least three of them do: Shelly, Denise and Leigh. They immediately greet people with great big smiles and not one ounce of 'pretense.' They make sure we are all comfortable with the plans for the event. At 4:45 Heather arrives, (she's 7 months pregnant) arriving after driving by herself from Louisville, KY. While we're getting the sound-check ready, Shelly Breen from POG is calling the local hospital. She's taking the time to encourage Amber Farnam; she and her husband had tickets for the concert, but she was in the hospital the night of the event. They work on a play list of songs, making sure they check with us to see what our expectations were for that night. At this point were running about 45 minutes behind most of our schedule. They're all still just as calm and as pleasant as can be! Matt's treating the volunteers at the tables wonderfully and they are actually smiling at me when I walk by. That's a good sign for me of how polite this guy is. Casey travels with POG and operates the sound systems during the concert and Chris Parton is giving me a 'thumbs up' for the cooperation, expertise and the attitude that Casey has with him. That doesn't always happen. It's good when I see that happen.
It's now 6:30pm and meals have been served. The 'girls' sneaked a birthday cake into the room for Heather and they have a little birthday 'thing' for a couple minutes. Everyone is relaxed. They're doing the phone calls to family, etc. Resting before start at 7:30. It's a time I like to leave the artists and their manager alone for the most part. I've found that at peaceful 'backstage' creates a peace 'on-stage.' Many of the artists use this time to pray, many like to read before the concert, some just want 'a quite-time.' At 7 pm I remember that the local newspaper has asked for a short interview. Something I should have taken care of hours before. Now I have to interrupt them to make that request. Denise greets me with that friendly smile and tells me to bring the person to the dressing room during John David Webster's opening. What! Yeah, that would be fine; they'll take the time to do the interview then. That sure 'blessed' the lady that did the interview. Thought she was going to miss that opportunity because of my bad memory. We still hadn't found time to do WBVN 'POG liners' and seemed that might not happen. But again the 'girls' asked me to bring Alisha back during the intermission for those. That's the first time in 95 concerts that the artist has been that generous about liners, making sure we get what we need for the station even if it took away from their private time 'during the concert.'
We're into concert now. The photographer's in place taking pictures for the website and 'for the fun of it.' The audience and POG have that moment in time I've seen occasionally and rarely. The crowd is responding to the performance and POG is responding to the reception of the crowd. Those are special times and they're vital to a 'perfect' concert. I've seen it before, none better than this concert. During the concert Shelly whips out an email to POG from Stephanie Cumbelich (who used to live here) and read it to Amy Graves and Belinda Keller, both in the audience. That was a little thing that meant a lot to those ladies. Another surprise after intermission: Denise reads a letter from four young ladies that have a vocal group and 'sing a lot of POG music.' Denise called Bonnie Childers, Julie Culbertson, Mary Kim Dothager and Erin Ainscough to the stage for T-shirts. A little thing; a big thing. The 'girls' sang a total of 19 songs! Not because they had to sing that many but because they recognized the unique quality to the evening. One great concert.
It had a 'ladies' touch! Point of Grace and their management never missed one opportunity to encourage, to be positive and to take little things and make them 'huge' for the people in this concert and backstage. It was the perfect concert, many things coming together all at one time: music, thoughtfulness, and ministry, professional, talented and creative. Guys can do one or two things at a time; these ladies did dozens all at one time. To be called perfect the storm in the movie had to possess many unique and powerful ingredients all coming together at one time, to call a concert perfect it must be more than special, more than good, it must be unique and powerful. This concert was both.

The etiquette of crowded flying
By A. Pawlowski, CNN • Published 17th November 2011
Ladies and gentlemen, pack your bags and a lot of patience: It's time for holiday travel, and there's no telling what you might encounter out there.
Take my recent flight to Boston. I had survived all the usual annoyances of flying -- the chaotic boarding, the epic struggle for carry-on space, the inconsolable baby a few rows down -- but the tapping on my head was a new one.
The passenger behind me was
into the touch screen seatback entertainment unit, pressing and poking the monitor (and my headrest) with a vengeance.
I thought it would stop after a couple of minutes -- enough time to choose a movie -- but this turned out to be a marathon tapping session. The flier was apparently engrossed in a game.
Ah, air travel.
Lots of us will be enduring it in the next few weeks to see family and friends for Thanksgiving and Christmas, already dreading the crowds, the hassles and the traumatic experiences to come.
"Flying is like being on an episode of 'Survivor' these days. You have to be tough," said Heather Poole, who has worked as a flight attendant for a major U.S. airline for 16 years and is the author of the upcoming book "Cruising Attitude."
What to do if you're bumped from a flight
Add potential weather delays, the start of the flu season and passengers bringing even more stuff on board during the holidays, and you've got the formula for extra aggravation.
"Flying has gotten really difficult for the majority of us, unless you're in one of those lie-flat beds and drinking that fancy champagne," said Rene Foss, another veteran flight attendant and author of "Around the World in a Bad Mood!"
With that in mind, we asked Poole and Foss to weigh in on some common etiquette dilemmas of crowded air travel.
Should you recline your seat?
With legroom already limited, many fliers are furious when the person in front of them reclines. But others believe that reclining is a function of the seat they paid for, so it's their right to push that little button on the arm rest.
Both Poole and Foss said passengers should be able to lean back if they want to but urged fliers to be considerate.
"Reclining seats cause more problems on the airplane than anything else, but you are allowed to recline. I would say if you're going to recline, do so slowly," Poole said.
She advised passengers who are extremely uncomfortable to speak up and politely ask the person in front of them to return the seat to the upright position.
"These little situations just escalate when they don't need to. ... But people just start with the evil glare and then the knees in the seatback, and that's not the way to get what you want."
Foss said reclining usually causes a domino effect on the plane: When one person does it, the passenger behind him will also lean back, and so on.
The carry-on madness
Brace yourself for winter coats and bulky presents competing with bags for precious overhead bin space.
"It is hard to accommodate all these things, particularly around the holidays," Foss said.
"You've got your normal suitcases, and then you've got grandma's punch bowl in a box ... and the down coat that is as big as a couch -- it's like a sleeping bag, almost. When you have a full flight and everybody's got something like that, it's very difficult."
Ship your presents, don't bring them on the plane, urged Poole, who once had to deal with giant toy fire trucks a passenger brought on board around Christmas.
Travel light or check your bags, both flight attendants advised. And if you do bring a carry-on, don't expect it to ride nearby.
"People want to find a bin right over their seat, and that's usually not going to happen, and if it does happen, you just consider yourself lucky," Poole said.
It may also be worth it to pay the early boarding fee some airlines offer in order to get to the bins first, Foss added.
How to tell family you're staying at a hotel
Who gets the armrest?
recently blogged
about a passenger who was called an "elbow assaulter" by a woman who sat next to him and apparently became upset when he accidentally touched her shoulder with his elbow.
There is no rule about who gets the armrest, but both Poole and Foss said travelers in the middle seat should get dibs because they can't lean into the aisle or rest against the window.
No matter where you sit, be prepared to make some contact with the passenger next to you, because the armrest is shared space, Poole said.
"Passengers can be so mean to each other. I wish people had more empathy," she added.
Crying babies
There's really very little you can do about infants crying, Foss said. A plane is public transportation, so there will probably be crying babies on board.
"People need to anticipate that that's probably going to happen and have a plan. I like to use earplugs. I always have them. And I have seen a lot more people use noise-reduction headphones," she said.
Poole urged parents to bring along toys to distract kids -- she's amazed at how many families bring absolutely nothing to keep little ones occupied -- and to always attempt to quiet a screaming child.
"It's not the babies that bother people; it's the parents who don't try to do anything," Poole said.
Tapping too hard on the headrest entertainment unit
This is a new entry in the list of on-board annoyances, Poole said.
If you are on a plane that has displays in the headrests, be aware that pressing too hard on the screen can disturb the passenger in front of you. If you are the person who is affected by a shaking headrest, speak up politely.
That's exactly what I did to stop the marathon tapping session behind me on my recent flight. Turns out the flier had no idea that poking a headrest display for a long time might be bothersome to anyone.
Ah, air travel.

Changes to how we allow commercial entities to use the forum / community are being forced, thanks to incessant fighting between the guys who have been around, and built this place, and the new comers who want to upstage them.
While we will need more time to finalize our rules, here are an initial set that will be strictly enforced from now. Our eventual set of rules should more or less mirror DIYMA. At least that is the thought process now.
Again, these are rules to tide us over until we can have a more relaxed set that will work for us.
1) If you represent a business, you cannot post on the forum without mclaren1885 & my explicit permission. Eventually, we will do this by committee, but for now, it is going to be just tadukuttan. Please send him a ONE TIME PM explaining what you intend to do for this community, and what value you intend to add. You will be required to stick to the stated mandate to continue enjoying posting privileges and all resulting benefits (commercial and otherwise)
Edit - This information will be required too in your mail. This is not going to be shared with general public but used to weed out fictitious entities.
2) Any transgression to rule (1) will result in an instant ban. A revocation will only happen when a satisfactory answer is provided as to how you can contribute to this community.
3) Rule (1) does not apply to folks who are already on the moderation team or folks who have been around and contributed to the various sections. The One time PM is being sought to build a fresh list and to keep it updated going forward.
4) If you represent a commercial entity, you cannot post anything negative about any other commercial entity or brand that has officially allowed representation on GearHeads.
5) Going forward, commercial entities will be charged an annual fee - the parameters are being drawn up on the lines of DIYMA etc. This will come with a set of privileges (like customised avatar, access to dedicated sections, facility to carry links in signatures etc).
6) In order to encourage contribution and sense of belonging, significant forum value addition by commercial members will be acknowledged by virtue of a discount or a complete waiver of this fees. Needless to say this will be a collective decision taken by the forum management.
7) All commercial members will carry tags that notify users of their special status. They are required to create a signature that carries all the brands they represent. They will also have the choice of taking a marked sub forum to gain better visibility.
8) No sales or offers on PMs by non approved commercial entities. Any such PM brought to our notice will result in a ban on the user account.
9) No personal attacks, especially on or by the commercial members. No personal attacks on PMs as well. Any such incident brought to our notice with proof will result in a ban on the user account.
As always, we are open to suggestions from all of you as well to better the commercial environment.
Also, we are looking for input on the quantum of charges we should levy commercial entities that wish to participate here.
Would also need your help to tag commercial entities so that they are aware of the change, and are not taken out by a ban resulting from a violation of (1).

Charley Pride wins Jackie Robinson Legacy Award
Country singer, former ball player honored in KC
Stars have begun to arrive in Kansas City for Thursday's premiere of "42," the movie based on the life of baseball trailblazer Jackie Robinson.
Country music star Charley Pride, who also played in the Negro Leagues in the 1950s, received the Jackie Robinson Legacy Award Wednesday night.
He said it was a struggle for Negro Leagues players even after Robinson broke the Major League color line.
"I endured the same thing they did. You have to find a rooming house or something. You couldn't stay in hotels or anything like that," Pride said.
He said he felt the sacrifice was worth it because he loved baseball.
"I'd get $2 a day eating money and $100 as salary. But I wasn't mad or nothing. I'd be picking cotton for $3 a hundred back in Mississippi where I grew up," Pride said. "So I was doing what I loved to do."
The ceremony Wednesday comes on the eve of the "42" premiere. Family members of Negro Leagues stars will be among the dignitaries walking the red carpet before the film.
Bob Kendricks of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum said he hopes the movie helps spotlight Robinson and the men who played with him.
"This Robinson film will hopefully remind people that there were unsung baseball heroes even before Jackie," Kendrick said. "They played in the Negro Leagues. They helped change the game, and more importantly, they helped change our country."

In a baby's death, forgetful mom not prosecuted
Unlike Charlottesville prosecutors who pressed charges against the mother who accidentally, fatally left her child in a car all day, Roanoke has decided not to prosecute an eerily similar case. According to a story in the Roanoke Times, 46-year-old Mary Nelson Parks–- already suffering from the anguish of losing a child to her forgetfulness–- won't have to undergo the additional ordeal (leading to acquittal) that confronted Raelyn Balfour.
8 comments
you're right, hoo...thanks for sharing this article. it changed my perception of the balfour case and presented a side of her that was not brought out in local press.
Makes sense doesn't it?
I think that each case must be considered on a case-by-case basis, not as a cookie-cuttered response because the cases may have had common elements. Some cases may warrant prosecution, and others should be ruled accidental deaths. My heart goes out to any family who loses a child for any reason.
If anyone other than the mother of the child did this, including the father, would there be a prosecution? I agree with the decision to not prosecute and felt bad when they did it to the girl in Charlottesville, but its just a question running through my mind...
Good question, Tim. Child abuse is one of the least prosecuted and enforced crimes. Parents literally get away with murder.
I'm not saying that that's the case in either of these cases.
Tim, there's probably no doubt that subconscious biases based on stereotypes guide decision to prosecute or not prosecute. A father might be more likely to be prosecuted because many people believe (wrongly) that men are more emotionally disconnected from their children, etc. I think social class is another of these factors: the middle- or upper-class mother would probably get a more sympathetic reaction than a poor mother. As long as we have human beings running our legal and judicial systems, we're going to face inequities like this, where some people are seen as more culpable and less sympathetic than others.
quote: "I agree with the decision to not prosecute and felt bad when they did it to the girl in Charlottesville..."
Yeah, you and many other local residents. That wasn't Dave Chapman's best moment in office. At least the jury made their feelings known and could effectively veto Dave Chapman's decision.
Last I heard Chapman was contesting the expungement of the girl's record. I wonder how that all turned out in the end? He has a past record of opposing expungements too. A further waste of taxpayer money.
I think anyone who wants to comment on this story should first read this WP story, "Fatal Distraction" by Gene Weingarten:

The cars are specifically given out according to office. For example Foreign Affairs big-wigs may drive blue cars, Military big-wigs may drive white cars, Korean Worker's Party officials all drive red cars etc.

Cyprus MPs reject EU-IMF bailout tax on bank depositors
Cyprus' parliament has rejected a controversial levy on bank deposits, proposed as part of an EU-IMF 10bn-euro (£8.7bn; $13bn) bailout package.
No MPs voted for the bill, with 36 voting against and 19 abstaining.
The finance ministry had modified the package, proposing an exemption for savers with smaller deposits, but opposition had remained fierce.
Thousands of protesters who had filled the streets outside parliament reacted with joy to the news of the vote.
EU finance ministers had previously warned that Cyprus' two biggest banks would collapse if the deal failed to go through in some form.
But after the vote the European Central Bank (ECB) moved quickly to announce it would continue to provide support for struggling Cypriot banks "as needed within the existing rules".
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble said he "regretted" the vote and that Cypriots must understand ECB aid was contingent on a reform programme.
"There's a danger that they won't be able to open the banks again at all," he said. "Two big Cypriot banks are insolvent if there are no emergency funds from the European Central Bank."
The bailout deal, announced after 10 hours of talks on Saturday, prompted widespread outrage on the island at the prospect of ordinary savers being forced to pay a levy of 6.75%
The Cypriot finance ministry announced a change in the plan on Tuesday morning, to exempt savers with less than 20,000 euros (£17,000), while those over 100,000 euros would still be charged at 9.9%. However, this was not enough to placate critics.
The plan to tax bigger deposits at a higher rate has angered Russia, as Russian nationals hold many of those larger deposits.
Meanwhile, the UK ministry of defence said a plane carrying 1m euros had arrived in Cyprus as a contingency measure to provide military personnel and their families with emergency loans.
The money is to be used for British personnel and their families if cash machines and debit cards stop working.
'Against the interests of Cyprus'
Several MPs during the parliament debate on Tuesday evening denounced the proposed plan as "blackmail" and not a single lawmaker backed the deal.
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Nicosia said the vote had left the bailout in turmoil, sending a clear message to Brussels that the strategy needed a drastic rethink.
President Nicos Anastasiades had urged all parties to back the bailout, saying Cyprus would be bankrupt if the deal did not go ahead. However, he was aware that they were likely to reject the levy, regardless of the modifications.
"They feel and they think it's unjust and that it is against the interests of Cyprus at large. But I have to admit that it was something which was not expected by the troika and by our friends, the Eurogroup."
He has called an emergency meeting of political party leaders on Wednesday morning to discuss the way forward.
The president of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said he "took note" of the parliament's decision and that the Eurogroup stood "ready to assist Cyprus in its reform efforts".
Mr Dijsselbloem had earlier emphasised that no other eurozone country would be forced to impose such a levy.
The Cyprus central bank chief, Panicos Demetriades, warned that scrapping the tax on small savers would scupper the plan to raise 5.8bn euros in total from bank deposits. He also predicted account holders could suddenly withdraw 10% or more of the total in Cypriot banks if the levy was imposed.
Fearing a run on accounts, Cyprus has shut its banks until at least Thursday. The local stock exchange also remains closed.
Cyprus' banks were badly exposed to Greece, which has itself been the recipient of two huge bailouts.
Russian anger
Mr Demetriades said that he favoured imposing the levy only on deposits larger than 100,000 euros, with eurozone finance ministers also suggesting such a move.
Instead, they argue that wealthier savers should pay the levy at a higher rate - losing more than 15% of their investments, correspondents say.
Of the estimated 68bn euros in total held in Cypriot bank accounts about 40% belongs to foreigners - most of them thought to be Russians.
The government fears a higher levy on these larger deposits would prompt many large investors to withdraw from the island and would effectively destroy its financial sector.
Russia has also said it may reconsider the terms of a 2.5bn-euro loan it made to Cyprus in 2011, which was separate from the proposed eurozone bailout.
Cypriot Finance Minister Michalis Sarris arrived in Moscow on Tuesday to see if the repayment on that loan could be delayed until 2020, and whether the interest rate could be reduced. As his visit began, he denied rumours that he had submitted his resignation.
Officials said he would also be looking for "further investment" in his country, correspondents report, with some speculating this might mean Russian access to Cyprus' large undeveloped gas deposits.
