Called my CVS and they have 2 bottles of the Pantene on clearance for this price! Holding them for me until I get there today! So exited
The cvs nearest me doesn't have these on clearance, the other one about a mile away from that one is 50% and the one 15 min away is only 25%. It's really strange.
BTW, I just remembered that it's also happened to me a couple of times that a CVS cashier wouldn't accept a coupon for various reasons when I knew for sure they should have.
I made the purchase anyway and then called customer service (pick option 'comment on store experience') to tell them what happened, and both times they compensated me by issuing extrabucks for the coupon value.
Another option is to make the purchase and then go back to the store the next morning with receipt and coupon in hand and request to speak to the store's head manager (they are usually there during morning shift). The head manager is much more likely to care about providing good customer service, and to know that resolving the issue with you in person is better for them than if you call corporate and a complaint against their store goes to their district manager.
My reply is in moderation for some reason, but I just basically said that it's better and faster to call them to deal with this.
Also if you really want the product, go back to the store during a different shift and try with different employees. That cashier and manager can't be there all the time.
Annie – just a heads up on posts here – they don't always show up right away, so don't worry if it shows "in moderation" or doesn't show at all. There is no actual human moderation happening, just a delay in the automatic system. Loved your comment (which did eventually show up), by the way
Thanks for letting me know KCL!
I was just a bit unsettled seeing some comments appear to vanish without any trace…
The CVS at my location had detergent for the 28 loads of ALL Free & Clear clearanced 75% off making them $1.96. Also — they had Febreze Fabric Refresher clearanced 75% making them $1.52 and I used a B1G1 coupon.
That's awesome!
Wine!!!!!!! Wth!! We don't have the special section of % off in the store here in Arcadia, CA. And the other 3 stores within 5 min don't, either.
I picked up Listerine pocket packs for $1.49 and a CVS brand disinfecting spray for $1.52.
Did anyone who bought the BOUNCE have any trouble with using the coupons? I had one of each of the coupons with me, the $3/3. the $1.50/2 and the 0.50/1. I bought 3 bounce lint rollers, handed the $3/3 but my cashier flat out refused to accept it saying it wasn't the item pictured, even when I pointed out that it says "bounce" on it with only exclusions for the other items- bounce not part of exclusion- still no luck! I took a roller out and asked if he could try the $1.50/2 and later the 0.50/1 figuring I'll just get 2 or 1 rollers instead, but was told no, it's the same coupon and he wont accept it! The manager who seems intimidated by that nutty coupon dissecting cashier at our CVS refused them all as well. Just wondering if my luck is horrible or they just don't like my sweet little face @ my CVS anymore! I know Last time I swore I was going to make the schlep to the CVS farther away from me to avoid the crazy coupon cashier, but realistically I don't have the luxury of time to go out of the way between my job and life : (
On occasion you run into employees like this, who for some reason are convinced that the only thing that matters about coupons is what's on the picture. I've had several run-ins with one at rite aid who acted so crazy about it that I honestly suspect literacy problems (not saying that's necessarily the issue with any of them).
Regardless of why, they're wrong about it, and corporate customer service will back you up on this; but you have to actually report these problems to corporate or nothing will ever change. Get the names of the employee and manager so you can tell them who exactly is doing this, and let them know it's an ongoing problem that's been preventing you from shopping.
No… No probs here, at cvs closest to my house they will scan scan and SCAN the coupon.. If it doesn't go in then what they do is make sure you have item and then they will input manually.
My store was out of the 1.24 ones, they had another one for 1.74 for blonds for the Pantene. I opted not to get them as I don't need that one and did not want to pay .50 each since I have enough shampoo already right now.
I found the bounce lint rollers but cvs refused to take the 3.00/3 coupon
Why, if I may ask? Mine did and the coupon beeped…. Even though the total was over the $3 of coupon so he scanned it again then again and them just finally took the coupon off manually. I shop there quite often and they know me there, and since I never coupon outrageously and I follow the rules, they will usually just take it off and trust me. Once or twice I've had a full in cashier and he/she will say if it doesn't scan then can't take it. Weirdo.
You're welcome. =D
I am going CVS shopping tonight, I hope nobody beats me to these deals. I will have to see what else is on clearance.
my CVS only had 6 Pantene on the shelf… i feel bad for taking them. On a different note I haven't had much luck on craigslist or my local classifieds however, what is the best way to save on shelves for storage? or do i have to fork out the cash?
In the search box here on KCL, type in "storage" and there are a couple of articles such as this one from July of 2013—Extreme Couponing Tip: How to Stockpile with Limited Storage Space–Read the comments section for more great ideas on these articles.
BTW–how about garage sales or the local Lowes or Home Depot and put your name on a list to call you if they get some in slightly damaged. Also, my local paper has a classified section titled "Looking to Buy" where people post things they would like to buy. Try Facebook as well–many communities now have facebook pages for items people are looking to swap/trade/sell, etc
Thank you!
Just saw a KCL post from yesterday Re: Walmart has Plano shelves–heavy duty– for $13.51–other readers gave them good reviews. If your store does not have them, you can order online and get free shipping if you ship them to the store.
Does all the cvs's have the same clearance ? Or you just have to get lucky?
Luck is the name of the game
If we find something on clearance, there is a good chance you will too. But not all CVS stores will have the same items – either because they haven't reduced them yet, OR because they did and already sold out We hope that listing these clearance finds at least gives you some idea what might be out there, and to give readers a place to let us know what they find too!
How much is the bounce on your cvs branch coz the one that I went to is $3.19
Someone had posted about the Kingsford charcoal in the 75% off summer clearance, and so I checked it out and I scored three Matchlight 6lb bags for $1.99 each and two Coleman camp grill fuel propane for $2.25 a two pack — a little over a dollar each. Summer campin' 'n' grillin' ain't over yet in our neck of the woods. (Did I mention first day of school is September 9th?) Some bouncing on water balls on summer clearance, CVS nail polish remover ($1.50 mcm q) and twenty five cent Tums on clearance at checkout brought my total up to $15 so I could use my $5off mcm q : )
Many items in the cold and cough aisle on clearance at my CVS, including generic Chapstick, medicine, saline. Also several cough & cold items in the children's medicine section as well including a brand my pediatrician just recommended. Yay!
There isn't a clearance section at CVS. Clearance items are with regular price items. Sometimes you have to browse the area for the item you are looking for. Other times you have to price check items at MCM (magic coupon machine).
I also found H&S on clearance!! The large size were $1.99!!! The conditioner was $1.57!! I used my BOGO coupons and I used the $4 off $12 shampoo CVS coupon! Sweet deal! So between the Pantene and the H&S I made a killing on shampoo this week!
Which ones, if you can help me out!!! Thanks!! I love h&s for dandruff and it just leave my hair soft.
My store had the H & S for dry scalp shampoo and conditioner but both slots were already empty. I'm going to try a different CVS today as I still have 2 B1G1 Free Coupons.
It was the dry scalp shampoo and conditioner. I was able to use both my bogo coupons. The Pantene was the large ice shine. They were only $1.87 each. I had the $3 off 2 coupons. I did the 2 Pantene and the 2 H&S and had to buy a bottle of soda to cover the coupons!!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I've been sick! Hope they still have it for you! Look for the gain and the All laundry soap too! I usually just go up and down the isles to see what they have. At my store there was a lot in the Oral care isles too. Some in the contact lenses stuff too. I have been able to get but I did have to go to several stores to find them!
you have to just wonder around looking for the clearance tags. Also sometimes they don't mark it or they have it 25% and it's really 50 or 75% off. Your best bet is to watch KCL and when you see something that should be on clearance scan it. Scan, scan, scan!!!! Good luck!
I bought the bounce and the pods, but didn't find the Pantene… No tags and and product just there, I scanned the Pantene and nothing.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Crews will need every minute of the time left until the Kentucky Derby to make sure Churchill Downs is ready thanks to a long, cold and snowy winter.
In mid-March about the only people around Churchill Downs are the Derby Museum tourists and the small army sprucing up the track.
This year it, "Might run a little slower than we'd like but we're doing what we can in particular with the turf course," said VP of Communications John Asher.
The winter of 2014 will be remembered for a long time for its cold and snowy clutch on Louisville, giving Churchill's newly seeded turf track less time to plant its roots. It's a change from the grass variety mix that has been around on the turf track since its appearance at Churchill on the mid-1980s.
"This particular type of grass, tall fescue, would be stronger, root systems would be stronger, would be a very hearty grass for a course that takes a lot of activity," said Asher.
The late start to the growing season didn't worry Asher at all. Horticultural director Matt Bizzell is a different story.
"I would say we're about two weeks behind on our workload," Bizzell said.
It's Bizzell's team that's responsible for taking 16,000 plants and turning the bare track you see in the winter to the colorful one we're used to on Derby day.
"The petunias are good for us because they can handle a little bit of cold because we put these in at the end of April," said Bizzell.
Extra cold and snow means mulch didn't go down when it should have and planting is a little late plus some of the perennials won't make it.
"We have a lot of neat things that you normally see in Tennessee or Georgia and so we have a few of those that are bound to be dead," said Bizzell.
Asher has seen a lot of Derbies and he has no doubt the first Saturday in May will be as colorful as ever before.
"All of a sudden, it just kind of bursts forward and the tulips pop up and you see the trees start to come out and the roses start to pop up," Asher said.
There is one positive to the cold and late start to the growing season. The tulips in Aristides Garden, one of the great signs of spring around Churchill are just starting to show through the mulch. Bizzell said the more they get pushed back, the more likely they'll be peaking for Derby day.

Walz filling House vacancy
MONTPELIER Tommy Walz, a former educator from Barre, has been tapped by Gov. Peter Shumlin to replace former Rep. Tess Taylor.
Walz was picked from a list of three candidates submitted to Shumlin by the Barre City Democratic Committee.
I am pleased to appoint Tommy Walz to fill this opening, Shumlin said in a statement. His long-term commitment and service to the Barre community will make him an excellent voice for his constituents in the Vermont House of Representatives.
Walz moved to Barre in 1967 to teach English and German at Spaulding High School. He and his wife, Leslie,later moved several times, including a stint in Germany. Walz returned to Vermont in 1979 and again taught English at Spaulding before working in computer sales and data consulting.
I am proud to be joining the Barre contingent in the Vermont House of Representatives, Walz said in a statement. Barre has given us much and Leslie and I have had the chance to return some small measure through volunteering and serving on local school boards. Representing the people of Barre City in the Vermont House provides yet one more way for me to serve my community.
Walz is on the Barre Supervisory Union Board and the Spaulding High School Board.
Taylor resigned from her seat in the House last month to serve as the executive director of Vermonts Coalition for Universal Reform. The newgroup is planning a push for Shumlins universal, publiclyfinanced health care plan.
Shumlins office said Walz would be sworn in promptly.MORE IN This Just InA Hubbardton man, awaiting trial in the Springfield jaill for the murder of two West Haven men,...

The BA Gators traveled to St.Simons Friday to take on the Fredrica Knights in Region 2-AA Varsity Baseball and came away with a 15-5 victory. The chink in the Knight's armor turned out to be their young pitching staff, and BA capitalized by sounding off with their bats, amassing 14 hits for the day. Veteran Junior pitcher Walker Blitch picked up his third win of the year by going five innings before the game was run-ruled in the sixth. Win Lee closed out the game with a scoreless sixth inning, earning the save.
Effingham County was held in check for four innings, but some costly errors and timely hitting allowed the Rebels to get past Statesboro by a count of 5-3 Saturday afternoon at Mill Creek Regional Park.
John Eddie Hodges pitched six innings of one-hit ball and the Blue Devil offense came alive in the late innings as Statesboro cruised past Brunswick by a score of 6-1 Friday evening at Mill Creek Regional Park.
The Metter Lady Tigers (4-0) remained undefeated on the season with a win over Tattnall County.
PORTAL – It was a pitcher's duel for four innings, but a nine-run explosion in the fifth inning powered Savannah Christian past Portal by a final count of 14-2 Thursday evening at Coleman Field.
Bulloch Academy's girls scored an outrageous 231 points to walk away with the victory in a six-team track meet at Gator Alley Wednesday.
Crystal Dowell has the Southeast Bulloch girls soccer team right in the thick of the region race.
Portal's Chase Sheffield had himself a day at the Southeast Bulloch track meet Tuesday afternoon in Brooklet.
It was a pretty ending to an ugly night.
SYLVANIA – Two overtimes weren't enough to settle the score as Screven County needed penalty kicks to slip past Southeast Bulloch by a score of 2-1 Tuesday evening at Kelly Memorial Stadium.
As the Statesboro Blue Devils prepare for Thursday's meet, several athletes have been leading the charge.
BROOKLET - Southeast Bulloch exploded for six first-half goals and cruised the rest of the way as the Yellow Jackets defeated Emanuel County Institute 6-0 Monday night at Fred Shaver Field.
The Bulloch Academy girls won just one event in the 11th annual Gator Relays track and field meet Saturday but they amassed 116 points by sheer numbers to claim the first-place trophy for the second year in a row.
BROOKLET – Nine athletes from Claxton and Southeast Bulloch placed in an event and the SEB girls took home third place out of 16 girls squads in team competition Saturday at the seventh annual Plankenhorn Invitational in Brooklet.
PORTAL - Portal found its new head football coach Thursday afternoon as Cherard Freeman was introduced as the leader of the Panthers.
PORTAL - The Portal Panthers weren't about to let a second straight season opener end in a tie.

BROOKLET - The Southeast Bulloch Lady Yellow Jackets got back in the win column after a seven-game winning streak was snapped on Wednesday, pounding Islands 8-0 Thursday at home.
Working hard in a non-airconditioned weight room over the summer helped Bulloch Academy's players excel in their 48-6 destruction of First Presbyterian of Hinesville last week.
Last season, Lanier Olliff emerged from spring practice as the favorite to take over quarterbacking duties for Bulloch Academy as a sophomore.
BROOKLET - Southeast Bulloch suffered a setback Wednesday afternoon, falling to Richmond Hill by a count of 8-1 in a non-region matchup.
BROOKLET - Southeast Bulloch notched its biggest win of the season Tuesday evening, cruising past Johnson of Savannah in a 16-0 rout in the first game of a doubleheader.
Football is a sport that prides itself on toughness. From the first day of rec-league practice to a pregame speech before the Super Bowl, coaches will preach staying strong, finishing the drill, and being determined to 'want it more' than the opponent.
A huge venue and a showcase stage created a great atmosphere for Statesboro's season opener, but a 12-0 loss to Burke County went a long way in dampening the Blue Devils' moods Saturday night in the 3rd annual Erk Russell Classic at Paulson Stadium.
Due to a shortened fall camp and a rained out scrimmage, Bulloch Academy had plenty of concerns heading into its season opener against First Presbyterian Christian Academy Friday night at Gator Alley.
The Statesboro Blue Devils will get their season started in style this evening as they match up with Burke County in an 8 p.m. kickoff to round out the third annual Erk Russell Classic at Georgia Southern's Paulson Stadium.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

From the excellent Ron Jeffries, we have "Refactoring – Not on the Backlog!"
Please share!
From the excellent Ron Jeffries, we have "Refactoring – Not on the Backlog!"
I just finished reading "Test-Driven Development as Pragmatic Deliberate Practice". Fantastic article. I highly recommend it to anyone who is actively coding. It strongly reflects my understanding of TDD as a fundamental technique in any Software Development Professional's toolkit.
The Definition of "Done" for a Scrum Team makes transparent how close the team's work is coming to being shippable at the end of every Sprint. Expanding the Definition of "Done" until the team is able to ship their product increment every Sprint is a process that every Team Member helps advance. Team Members expand the Definition of "Done" by learning new skills, developing trust and gaining authority to do work, automating repetitive activities, and finding and eliminating wasteful activities. When every Team Member is systematically expanding the Definition of "Done", the team builds its capacity to satisfy business needs without relying on outside people, groups or resources. If Team Members are not actively working on this, then many of the obstacles to becoming a high-performance team will not be discovered.
Scrum relies on the truthfulness of Team Members to allow for transparency about the internal quality of the product. Internal quality is primarily related to the technical aspects of the product: its design, its architecture, lack of duplication in the code, and the level of coverage of the product with automated tests. Scrum relies on the professionalism of the Team Members for the proper implementation of this rule. Being upfront, transparent, and truthful about the internal quality of the product allows for the Product Owner to understand how much time and effort the Team will allocate to improving the internal quality of the product and how much will be allocated for new features. This also gives the ScrumMaster an opportunity to connect with stakeholders who may be able to help remove technical debt and waste that is continuing to exist. If Team Members are not truthful about the internal quality of the product, over time the system will become more cumbersome, more complex, and more painful to improve. This will also lead to a culture of hiding problems, which diametrically opposite to the intended use of Scrum: to uncover problems and allow us to solve them. Another downside is that morale will begin to decrease as Team Members care less about the quality of their work. This, of course, will ultimately lead to external quality problems that result in customers being unhappy and looking for someone else to work with.
Isráfíl Consulting is finally prepared for the first series of its Agile Software Engineering Practices training courses. This series is offered in partnership with Berteig Consulting who are graciously hosting the registration process. Their team has also helped greatly in shaping the presentation style and structure of the course. The initial run will be in Ottawa, Toronto (Markham), and Kitchener/Waterloo.
Topics covered will include Test Driven Development (TDD), testability, supportive infrastructure such as build and continuous integration, team metrics, incremental design and evolutionary architecture, dependency injection, and so much more. (This course won't present the planning side of XP, but covers many other aspects common to XP projects) It makes a great complement for training in Agile Processes such as XP, Scrum, or OpenAgile. The overview slide presentation is available for free download from the Isráfíl web site.
The courses are scheduled for:
The course is $1250 CAD per student, and participants receive a transferrable discount of $100 CAD for other training with Berteig Consulting as a part of our ongoing partnership. I initially prototyped this course in Ottawa this December, and am very excited to see this through in several locales. Class size is limited to 15, so we can keep the instruction style more involved. The above schedules are linked to Berteig Consulting's course system and have registration links at the bottom of the description. Locations are TBD, but will be updated at the above links as soon as they're finalized.
A further series is planned for several US cities in March, and we'll be sure to announce them as well.
Bob C. Martin (Uncle Bob to you and me) suggested, in his "quintessence" keynote at the Agile2008 conference that he had the perfect metric for code quality. Cyclomatic complexity and others were interesting mostly to those who invented them, etc. His answer was brilliant, and was easily measured during code reviews:
WTFs per minute
I love it. All you need is a counter and a stop-watch. Start code-review and start watch and start clicking anytime you see code that makes you say or think "What the F???". This dovetails nicely with his original recommendation for a new statement in the agile manifesto: "Craftsmanship over Crap".
This post is a little geeky and technical and product-related for AgileAdvice, and is a shameless self-promotion. Nevertheless, since testability, test-driven-development, and incremental design are non-exclusive sub-topics of Agile, I though I'd report this here anyway.
Many developers use the Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control (IoC) patterns through such IoC containers as Spring, Hivemind, Picocontainer, and others. They have all sorts of benefits to testability, flexibility, etc. that I won't repeat here, but can be read about here, here, and here. A great summary of the history of "IoC" can be found here. J2ME developers, however, especially those on limited devices that use the CLDC configuration of J2ME, cannot use the substantial number of IoC/DI containers out there, because they nearly all rely on reflection. These also often make use of APIs not present in the CLDC – APIs which could not easily be added. Lastly there's a tendency among developers of "embedded software" to be very suspicious of complexity.
In working out some examples of DI as part of a testability workshop at one of my clients, I whipped up a quick DI container, and being the freak that I am, hardened it until it was suitable for production, because I hate half-finished products. So allow me to introduce the Israfil Micro Container. (That is, the Container from the Israfil Micro project). As I mention in the docs, "FemtoContainer" just was too ridiculous, and this container is smaller than pico-container. The project is BSD licensed, and hosted on googlecode, so source is freely available and there's an issue/feature tracker, yadda yadda.
Essentially I believe that people working on cellphones and set-top boxes shouldn't be constrained out of some basic software design approaches – you just have to bend the design approach to fit the environment. So hopefully this is of use to more than one of my clients. It currently supports an auto-wiring registration, delayed object creation (until first need), and forthcoming are some basic lifecycle support, and a few other nicities. It does not use reflection (you use a little adapter for object creation instead), and performs quicker than pico-container. Low, low overhead. It's also less than 10 classes and interfaces (including the two classes in the util project). It's built with Maven2, so you can use it in any Maven2-built project with ease, but of course you can always also just download the jar (and the required util jar too). Enjoy…
P.S. There are a few other bits on googlecode that I'm working on in the micro-zone. Some minimalist backports of some of java.lang.concurrency (just the locks), as well as some of the java.util.Collections stuff. Not finished, but also part of the googlecode project.
This was actually cribbed from a Bruce Schneier blog post about security…
Security engineers see the world differently than other engineers. Instead of focusing on how systems work, they focus on how systems fail, how they can be made to fail, and how to prevent–or protect against–those failures. Most software vulnerabilities don't ever appear in normal operations, only when an attacker deliberately exploits them. So security engineers need to think like attackers.People without the mindset sometimes think they can design security products, but they can't. And you see the results all over society–in snake-oil cryptography, software, Internet protocols, voting machines, and fare card and other payment systems. Many of these systems had someone in charge of "security" on their teams, but it wasn't someone who thought like an attacker. Â
There's an interesting parallel between this statement and how most software quality is handled. Quality and Security are similar. In fact, I see security as a very specific subset of quality-mindedness. Certainly both require the same mindset to ensure – rather than thinking merely "how will this work", a quality-focused person will also, or perhaps alternately think: "how might this be breakable". From this simple change in thinking flows several important approaches
 Schneier goes on to ponderÂ
This mindset is difficult to teach, and may be something you're born with or not. But in order to train people possessing the mindset, they need to search for and find security vulnerabilities–again and again and again. And this is true regardless of the domain. Good cryptographers discover vulnerabilities in others' algorithms and protocols. Good software security experts find vulnerabilities in others' code. Good airport security designers figure out new ways to subvert airport security. And so on. Â
 Here again – I think it's possible to help people get a mind-set about quality, but some do seem to have a knack. It's important to have some of these people on your teams, as they'll disturb the waters and identify potential failure modes. These are going to be the ones who want to "mistake proof" (to borrow Toyota's phrase) the system by writing more unit tests and other executable proofs of the system. But most importantly (and I can personally testify to this) it is critical that people just write more tests. It is a learned skill to start to think of "how might this fail" until it becomes a background mental thread, always popping up risk models.A related concept is Demmings' "systems-thinking", which, applied to software quality, causes one to start looking at whole ecosystems of error states. This is when fearless re-factoring starts to pay off, because the elimination of duplication allows one to catch classes of error in fewer and fewer locations, where they're easier to fix. There are many and multifarious spin-off effects of this inverted questioning and the mindset it generates. Try it yourself. When you're writing code, ask yourself how you might break it? What inputs, external state, etc. might cause it to fail, crash, or behave in odd ways. This starts to show you where you might have state leaking into the wild, or side-effects from excessively complex interactions in your code. So quality focus can start to improve not only the external perception of your product, but also its fitness to new requirements by making it more resilient and less brittle. Cleaner interactions and less duplication allow for much faster implementation of new features.I could go on, but I just wanted to convey this sense of "attitude" or "mindset," over mere technique. Technique can help you get to a certain level, but you have to let it "click", and the powerful questions can sometimes help.
Most of the teams and organizations I coach are working on using agile methods to improve their software development approach. Somewhere along the way, someone has realized that there must be a better way… either better than chaos, or better than bureaucracy. Over the years that I have been practicing agile methods, I have come to believe that quality is not negotiable.

I stayed at the Centric/Pisa Guesthouse recently and did not have a good experience.

Police say Paris Hilton has been arrested for possession of cocaine after officers stopped the car she was in on a Las Vegas street late Friday night.
Public Information officer Marcus Martin says Hilton was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Saturday morning on a charge of possession of cocaine.
He says she was in a car driven by a friend that was stopped when officers noticed what they suspected to be marijuana smoke coming from it.
Martin says that during the stop officers found what appeared to be a controlled substance on Hilton and tests showed that it was cocaine.
He says he doesn't know how much of the drug was found.
Las Vegas police Lt. Wayne Holman says that Hilton was still being held around 2 a.m. Saturday. He says she will probably be released on her own recognizance later in the morning.

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra will bring violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja on board for the 2014-15 season as an artistic partner. The SPCO will be the first American orchestra to present the Moldova native in concert.
In a statement Thursday, SPCO president Bruce Coppock called Kopatchinskaja "the most ravishingly intense and virtuosic musician I have heard in a very long time."
Coppock said the violinist draws from her Eastern European roots, a rigorous traditional training and "a seemingly limitless imagination to create performances that are completely convincing, utterly compelling and downright spectacular."
Kopatchinskaja is now based in Bern, Switzerland, and regularly collaborates with the London Philharmonic. She was recently nominated for a Grammy for solo work of Bartok, Eotvos and Ligeti.
"I am thrilled and eager to make music with the SPCO and look forward to exploring new worlds and frontiers with these wonderful musicians," Kopatchinskaja said in a statement. Her first major project with the SPCO will focus on weaving traditional folk music and classic works that come from Eastern European influences.
You can catch a glimpse of her work here.
Osmo Vanska announced his joy at being part of the Minnesota Orchestra's Grammy win for classical recording. Vanska issued a statement through his London-based manager early Monday morning.
"I am absolutely thrilled that this recording of Sibelius Symphonies 1 and 4 -- works so close to my heart -- has been honored with a Grammy Award. I am immensely happy and proud to have been able to achieve this in partnership with my dear and devoted friends at BIS record label and with the remarkable musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra. it is the greatest honor to be presented with such a distinctive award by our peers -- and I convey my genuine thanks to The Recording Academy for this wonderful recognition."
Vanska has been busy lately with guest conducting gigs in Europe and in San Francisco. He quit the Minnesota Orchestra on Oct. 1, to protest the inability to forge a new collective bargaining agreement.
He has not said publicly what his plans are in regards a possible return to Minnesota. A Facebook post was reported to have said he'd like to return but he needs to be asked.
The Grammy-winning disc was the second in what had been intended as a full Sibelius symphony cycle. The first disc was nominated for a Grammy last year.
All doubt that the returning Minnesota Orchestra would generate much interest has been dashed. The organization's web site has been overwhelmed by demand for the Feb. 7-8 and Feb. 14-15 homecoming concerts.
Tickets can also be purchased by phone at 612-371-5656. Stanislaw Skrowaczewski will conduct Beethoven's Third on the 7th and 8th. Yan Pascal Tortelier will lead Holst's The Planets and the Elgar Cello Concerto the following weekend.
Spokeswoman Gwen Pappas said the greatest demand is for the Feb. 7 concert. There are still several hundred tickets available for that night. The remaining concerts are about half sold, Pappas said shortly before 11 a.m.
The orchestra is expected to announce its classical subscription season for the remainder of the year on Friday morning.
These empty seats in the newly renovated Orchestra Hall will likely be filled when the orchestra returns to the stage for four homecoming concerts.
The Minnesota Orchestra will stage two weeks of homecoming concerts February 7 through 15, marking both the orchestra's return to its home, the recently renovated Orchestra Hall, and the end of the labor dispute that locked the muscians out of that home for the last 15 months. Tickets go on sale Jan. 22.
The official season will launch later next month, with programs to be announced before the end of January.
The homecoming concerts begin Feb. 7-8 with Conductor Laureate Stanislaw Skrowaczewski conducting Beethoven's Third Symphony and his own orchestration of Bach's D-minor Toccata and Fugue -- the work that opened the first concert at Orchestra Hall in 1974.
On Feb. 14-15, French conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier will lead an all-British program of Holst's popular The Planets, with the women of the Minnesota Chorale, and Elgar's Cello Concerto featuring virtuoso soloist Steven Isserlis.
All concerts will be are preceded by a free open house at Orchestra Hall, with doors opening at 4 p.m. The public is invited to come and see the renovated facility whether or not they are attending a concert.
"We're pleased to bring the music back to our audiences at Orchestra Hall with our musicians onstage and a dear friend on the conductor's podium," said Robert Neu, the Orchestra's vice president and general manager, adding that it was fitting for Skrowaczewski to conduct the first concerts in the Hall he "helped build...40 years ago."
"We are thrilled to return to Orchestra Hall, our home, and the home for world class symphonic music in this community," said Anthony Ross, the Orchestra's principal cellist.
Given only a few weeks as opposed to the usual months of preparation time, the orchestra's administration, which is down 18 staff members since the lockout began, has been scrambling to put together a season. How, in hte three days since the contract was ratified, did they line up four concerts with international guest artists? They starting hoping for the best and planning ahead a while ago.
"We had about 50 percent of it in place, and there's been a huge outporuing of support from around the world from people who want to help us," said general manager Robert Neu.
Rehearsals will begin Feb. 5, two days before the first concert. Neu said the opening programs were chosen in part because the musicians are familiar with them, but that "it's really about the statement we're making to the public. Playing the heroic Beethoven, the Eroica, is a positive message that we're back and we love music." The musicians had input in planning the programs as well, he said.
Not featuring a soloist that first weekend was intentional, he said, because "we are featuring the musicians of the orchestra." He isn't yet sure how many, if any, of the seven musicians currently on leave will return for the homecoming concerts.
Heather Johnson, being fitted last summer for Mill City Opera's "The Barber of Seville."/photo by Courtney Perry.
Heather Johnson, who grew up in White Bear Lake, just got some nice props for her performance as Lizzie Borden in Boston Lyric Opera's production. Johnson was back in the Twin Cities last summer for Mill City Opera's "The Barber of Seville" and mentioned that she would be taking on the title role in the world premiere chamber version of the 1965 opera.
Writing in the February Opera News, critic Kalen Ratzlaff didn't have much good to say about the concept and staging from director Christopher Alden. "Cheap laughs" and "depictions of sophmorically 'edgy' sexual behavior," Ratzlaff wrote. However, the critic waxed on about the singers. "If only one could have lifted them up lock, stock and barrel and dropped them into a production worthy of their gifts."
"In the title role, mezzo-soprano Heather Johnson was fearless, channeling a seething fury worthy of Electra and singing with dramatic focus, power and control."
Johnson sang at Roseville High School and then studied with Dan Dressen at St. Olaf. She has lived in New York for 14 years. Next up, according to her web site is a short engagement of "La Cenerentola" at Intermountain Opera, in May.

"People break down into two groups. When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence.

Almost 32 years after King's murder at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis on April 4, 1968, a court extended the circle of responsibility for the assassination beyond the late scapegoat James Earl Ray to the United States government." ~ Jim Douglass Continue reading

Plato did not believe most people were smart enough to look after their own and society's best interest. The few smart people of the world needed to lead the rest of the flock, Plato said. And The Noble Lie had to continue. Continue reading

"Happily for the busy lunatics who rule over us, we are permanently the United States of Amnesia. We learn nothing because we remember nothing." ~ Gore Vidal
"It should by now be generally accepted that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan on Christmas Eve 1979 was deliberately provoked by the United States. In his memoir published in 1996, the former CIA director Robert Gates made it clear that the American intelligence services began to aid the mujahideen guerrillas not after the Soviet invasion, but six months before it. In an interview two years later with Le Nouvel Observateur, President Carter's national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski proudly confirmed Gate's assertions. "According to the official version of history," Brzezinski said, "CIA aid to the mujahideen began during 1980, that's to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan. But the reality, kept secret until now, is completely different: on 3 July 1979 President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And on the same day I wrote a note to the president in which I explained that in mu opinion this aid would lead to a Soviet military intervention." ~ Chalmers Johnson Continue reading

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)

Topics: Rick Santorum, 2012 Elections, Penn State, College, Education, Politics News
Rick Santorum hates college. The former senator from Pennsylvania and current presidential candidate has lately taken to declaring that Barack Obama's promotion higher education is both elitist snobbery and a insidious attempt to "indoctrinate" the children of America's hardworking conservative parents into socialism. His crusade against the ivory tower took an even weirder turn last weekend when he told a radio station that he was discriminated against at Penn State for his conservatism.
Will Bunch highlighted the… slightly dubious claim, as reported by a Detroit CBS affiliate (emphasis Bunch's):
"I'm very careful about the colleges and universities our children go to," Santorum said. "There are schools, I went to one — Penn State — that's one of the liberal icons, unfortunately it's gotten a lot worse. I can tell you professor after professor who docked my grades because of the viewpoints I expressed and the papers that I wrote, there's no question that happened."
"Your grades suffered because of your views at Penn State?" Langton asked
"Absolutely, absolutely," Santorum said. "I used to go to war with some of my professors, who thought I was out of the pale, these are just not proper ideas. This is not something that's not unusual, folks, I know this may be a surprise to some people … There is clearly a bias at the university."
Liberal icon Penn State. It's central Pennsylvania's own Frankfurt School, really.
Santorum hasn't released his college transcripts, so we can't know how bad his grades were, but according to the New Republic and the Philadelphia City Paper Santorum was actually not that conservative in college. (Or maybe he was hiding it to escape the vicious persecution conservatives suffered at Penn State in the late-1970s?)
Santorum's Penn State experience was so traumatizing that he remained a fan of the football team and called himself a "friend" of longtime coach Joe Paterno as recently as last November.
Santorum's claim is pretty obviously just an attempt to add a dose of self-proclaimed victimization to the anti-elite tack he's been taking with his recent focus on the dangers of higher education, but it's a silly one, considering that, well, he is talking about Penn State, not Penn or something. But Santorum's entire "college is awful" tour has been a bit of a puzzler.
Now I don't have a highfalutin' "degree" from some fancy "college," unlike Rick Santorum, who has three, but I do know that a lot of people seem to think "education" is a good thing. I know this because I read an article in which a guy from the Pew Research Center explained that nearly all American parents hope their children will attend college.
Anti-college talk is a fine rhetorical strategy when your target is snobbery against adults without college educations, but basically all parents — even blue collar parents who work with their hands like real Americans — want their kids to get degrees and good jobs because that is part of "the American dream."
This is conservative class warfare totally backfiring, basically. Maybe Santorum's grades were actually docked because he is dumb?
