Daytona 500 Telecast Most Valuable in History
- Feb 24, 2003
ANN ARBOR, MI, February 21, 2003 – The Daytona 500 airing on Fox last weekend provided corporate sponsors with more exposure value than any other U.S. motorsports broadcast in history, as 271 brands accumulated some $251.4 million of exposure value — nearly 10% more than last year's Daytona total of $228.7 million.
According to research conducted by Joyce Julius and Associates' Sponsors Report — which has documented exposure received by corporate entities during national television broadcasts of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series for the last 19 seasons — sponsors garnered more than seven hours of on-screen time and 250 verbal references during the live 4.5-hour Fox telecast. Exposure value is calculated by comparing the amount of time each sponsor appears clear and in-focus, as well as all mentions of sponsors, to the cost of purchasing a commercial during the network's broadcast.
Budweiser was the biggest exposure winner among the sponsors during the season-opening telecast, as the beer brand collected more than 27:00 of on-camera time and 20 mentions, bringing about a comparable value of $16.1 million. Meanwhile, race winner Michael Waltrip's main sponsor, NAPA Auto Parts, finished a close second in the battle for exposure after collecting $15.5 million.
As a group, brands functioning as primary team sponsors averaged $2.1 million in comparable exposure value, or nearly the estimated cost of eight, 30-second commercial spots during the Daytona telecast.
The Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Sponsors Report conducts in-depth studies of sponsor exposure monitored during more than 2,300 nationally televised event programs annually. In addition, Joyce Julius and Associates also specializes in the evaluation of total sponsorship programs through the use of its National Television Impression Value (NTIV®) Analysis and has recently introduced its new Entertainment Marketing Research Services, focusing on the television and motion picture industries.

I posted this on Wildlife too.I'm in inland Northern California.They return each spring and are currently nesting on my front stoop. Love the idea, but they make a mess, and when they stay during the day as they have for the last day or so, people are afraid to come through the door. Anybody know what kind, and how to coax them away from the door? |

Jeff Bridges plays annual Lebowski Fest in Los Angeles
Jeff Bridges and his band took to the stage to play a 30-minute set at Lebowski Fest in Los Angeles on Friday (April 25).
As reported by Associated Press, the actor, who played Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski in the 1998 Coen Brothers film The Big Lebowski, performed songs from his 2009 film Crazy Heart among others.
Kyle Gass, best known as one half of Tenacious D alongside Jack Black, opened the night with a set of songs drawn from The Big Lebowski itself.
The event took place at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. It has been staged around the USA since 2002. The two-day festival continued on Saturday with a costumed bowling party.
Jeff Bridges released a self-titled album in 2011. The record was produced by T Bone Burnett, who had been behind the soundtrack to Crazy Heart, for which Bridges won an Oscar.
Musicians on the album included guitarist Mark Ribot, bassist Dennis Crouch, pedal steel guitarist Russ Pahl, keyboardist Keefus Ciancia and drummer Jay Bellerose. It featured guest vocals by Rosanne Cash and Sam Phillips.

Electric Car Covers Over 1,000 Km on a Single Charge, Probably Takes a Year to Charge
The civic group Japan EV Club is probably the only group of its kind, because it has taken to shattering its own records. Last month, the electric vehicle enthusiasts drove an electric version of the Daihatsu Mira for 345 mi on a single charge. One month later, the group nearly doubles their record, driving 623 miles using the same car model (I'm not sure if it's the exact same car though).
The record-breaking car and the one before it were both powered by a Sanyo Lithium-ion battery, which is said to be made up of 8,320 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries.
17 members of the Japan EV Club took turns in driving the modified Mira, for a total of 27 and a half environmentally-friendly hours, going at an average of 40 km/h (approx. 25 mi/h). Seriously though: how long does it take to fully charge that car?!

Why only 25mph? Would going faster drain the battery quicker? That is a pretty important distinction…

Long before the Village News, there was Doris Crowell and her undying affection for the Chester community.
In 1954, she was a transplanted southerner returning to Dixie with her late husband, Robert, a chemical engineer, and their two children. Making her home in Chester, Crowell embraced the community like it was her own breathing child. She still lights up when she recalls giving piano and chorus lessons from her home and dissecting the Chester area as an eager reporter for The Chesterfield and Colonial Heights News-Journal.
"There were so few people here that it's not that I was so exceptional; it was just that there were so few people to do all the things that could be done here," Crowell said. "It was all very exciting because it was a small community and you knew everybody, so you were part of everything."
When she took the job at the weekly Chester newspaper in 1956, she hadn't a degree in journalism – or even a college degree for that matter – but she did have some writing experience; there were also a few college courses under her belt. She had completely immersed herself in the community day after day, attending and hosting various local parties, visiting organizational and club meetings, and one day was asked by the paper's owner, Charlie King, to join their staff. Crowell had been writing press releases to publicize for various club and community events – like the John Rolfe Players, a local theater group with which she volunteered, and the Kiwanis and Lions Clubs to name a few – when King hired her.
Before covering Chesterfield School Board and Board of Supervisor meetings for the paper, Crowell first wrote a weekly community news column that highlighted bits of gossip surrounding the under-populated community.
She feels Chester has changed so quickly that it's been hard for her to catch up, to follow all the social news in Chester.
Noticing the town's transformation as well, Gypsy Cooke, a friend of Crowell and a Chester resident since 1968, remembers when a visit to the local grocery store meant seeing a handful of familiar faces; where now we are lucky to see one, she said.
"It really has grown," Cooke said. "Chester was just a sleepy little hamlet. In fact, the first time I came here with family, we drove straight through Chester – we missed it completely. It was so small that we didn't even realize it was Chester."
Cooke remembers Crowell being "very well-known" in the community when she first moved to the area. Looking back, she commends Crowell for being a very "multi-talented, enthusiastic, and energetic and giving person," and sharing with others in town what she knew.
The Village of Chester was in fact so small that realtors, whom Crowell grew to know as close friends, would tell her when people would move to the area. Crowell would visit the new-comers' homes soon after their move – a one-woman "welcome wagon" as she calls herself then – and bring them a copy of The News-Journal; she would then guide them around town pointing out doctors' offices, restaurants and grocery store locations.
And when folks from big cities would visit town, she would write stories and columns about their lives and their thoughts on visiting Chester. Crowell said these visitors were absolutely "thrilled" when they saw their name in the newspaper because they were never mentioned in the big-city publications.
"I kind of surprise myself when I go back and read stories and columns I wrote over time; I didn't think I wrote all that well," she said. "I used to say I wanted to write a book – and then I got too busy. I just like being busy."
And busy she was.
Crowell, then a young mother, would often spend the darkest hours of the night at The News-Journal office – once located on Old Hundred Road near the volunteer fire house in Chester – preparing the paper to be printed in Hopewell. Throughout her 20-year career as a reporter, Crowell wrote thousands of articles for Petersburg's Progress-Index and The Hopewell News as a reporter, associate editor, editor and columnist. She said her most favorite kind of writing were assignments in which she could express her opinion.
But reporting on her beloved community took up only a fraction of her time. During her early days in Chester, Crowell also joined the Chester Garden Club. As a member, she has participated in local and regional beautification projects. From her experience with the club, Crowell later earned accreditation in horticulture and floral design; she eventually taught the two subjects at John Tyler Community College.
"People would ask me why I tried to do everything. And I would say it was because I didn't know what I really wanted to do – because I loved everything I did," she said. "I couldn't give up the choirs that I taught; I couldn't give up piano. I enjoyed working with the paper, and I enjoyed working the theater … I think the more you do, the longer you live – if you keep an interesting life."
Crowell has now lived in Chester for exactly 57 years, where she has retired to a quiet neighborhood in town. She celebrated a birthday on Halloween, Monday, but her age – which she still refuses to divulge to anyone other than relatives – is a complete mystery to even her church family.
And though she is now retired, she makes a diligent effort to remain as busy as possible. She continues to be an active member of two local garden clubs, and frequently travels around the state as a judge for floral design competitions.
"Having a chance to try anything you wanted to do – that's what I liked about Chester," she said. "I don't know anywhere else I would have gone where I could have had the opportunity to try my hand at everything I did."

There are countless ways to put the end of Friends in perspective. Here are some of them. No more monkeys, ducks, or smelly cats. Adios to Baywatch worship and We were on a break! Close the book on Ugly Naked Guy and ''Who's Gonna Drink the Diet Coke?'' ads. Okay, we won't miss that last one. Nevertheless, the May 6 sign-off of one of the most successful sitcoms ever will be pretty painful for us -- and the cast. ''I feel I'm looking down at my chest and I have this huge gaping hole and I go, 'Whoa, that's going to take a while to heal,''' laments Matt LeBlanc. Sums up Lisa Kudrow: ''It's like a death.'' As NBC kicks off its farewell vigil by airing the top six viewers' choice episodes (beginning March 4), EW talked to the sextet about their favorites, and some other Friendly matters. Could we be any more thoughtful?
Courteney Cox Arquette MONICA GELLER BING
FAVORITE EPISODE Season 4's ''The One With the Embryos,'' in which the girls take on the boys in a trivia contest: If the girls win, the boys will get rid of their pets, a rooster (formerly the chick) and a duck; if the boys triumph, they claim Monica's pad. ''I learned more about my character and everyone else's because of these trivia questions. One thing that's been a running joke throughout the 10 years was no one really knew what Chandler did for a living and we're all just completely stumped. I screamed at Rachel that Transponster 'is not even a word!'... The times I like playing Monica the most are when she's being competitive, like when she's playing football in the Thanksgiving episode or when she's trying to get George Clooney and Noah Wyle. She kind of has no limits. And the stakes were really high [in ''Embryos''], because to lose the apartment was huge. She was so sure that she'd win that she bet the apartment. Didn't work out so well for her, did it? Not fun. Did not enjoy filming in Joey's apartment.''
STOCK QUOTE ABOUT SAYING GOODBYE ''It was terrible. It was sad. It was beautiful. When [director -- executive producer] Kevin Bright said at the end of the show, like he does at the end of every show, 'Okay, that's our show!' this time he really meant it. My eyes are still swollen.''
LAST TIME YOU WENT INTO A COFFEEHOUSE ''Yesterday. I didn't sit down on a couch, but I got a decaf latte with vanilla flavoring to go.''
WORST THING ABOUT MAKING A MILLION DOLLARS PER EPISODE ''Nothing... I mean, yeah, you don't want to pay half of it in taxes, but thank God that you get the other half.''
ON DOING A REUNION SHOW ''What does that mean? Is it a movie-of-the-week? I don't think I could do that. Can you imagine? Friends: The Movie of the Week. No, that's terrible.''
NEXT Starring in November, a psychological thriller that debuted at Sundance. Also serves as creator -- exec producer of Mix It Up, a design show on WE.
Matthew Perry CHANDLER BING
FAVORITE EPISODE Season 1's ''The One With the Blackout,'' in which Chandler gets stuck in an ATM vestibule with model Jill Goodacre during a power outage; meanwhile, the others swap secrets in Monica's apartment. ''The interesting thing about that episode was I didn't speak much; it was mostly in voice-over. We prerecorded what I said and I had to react. Let's face it: Jill Goodacre is hot, so it wasn't that difficult.... I [remember] spitting my gum out and it stuck to the wall. It was my choice to just stay completely frozen in fear and embarrassment. That was one of those things that the producers loved and it stayed in.... What was great about that night was that I was also able to watch the other three quarters of the show, which was these five great actors doing ensemble work that was amazing. This was the first time I realized, 'Gee, this is really clicking.'''

Rolls-Royce builds on aero engine partnerships with Japan
Friday, 1 June 2007
Rolls-Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use in the air, on land, and at sea, today highlighted the importance its relationship with the Japanese aerospace industry.
Neil Takei, Vice-President Business Development – Japan, speaking at the UK-Japan Aerospace Forum in Tokyo today, said that Rolls-Royce had developed into a significant contributor to the aerospace industry in Japan by working with its major industrial groups.
"We have built a strong relationship with the Japanese 'Heavies' on the RB211 and Trent aero engines since 1988 and we will continue to collaborate with Japanese partners in the future," he said.
KHI, MHI, IHI and Marubeni are involved as risk and revenue sharing partners or programme associates on six Rolls-Royce large turbofan engines. Between them, the companies work on the RB211 for the Boing 747, the Trent 700 for the Airbus A330, Trent 800 for the Boeing 777, Trent 500 for the A340, Trent 900 for the A380 and the Trent 1000, which will enter service for the first time next year with the Boeing 787 Dreamliners of ANA.
Mr Takei said that Japanese companies were now involved in the production of a wide range of engine components.
"Rolls-Royce has developed its relationship with Japanese partners from supplying individual components to major sub-asssemblies and whole engine integration," he said.
Rolls-Royce is also a partner with JAEC in the International Aero Engines V2500 engine which powers the Airbus A320 family. The collaboration, which began in 1983, built on the RJ500 demonstrator programme between Rolls-Royce and Japan in the 1970s.
One of the key aspects of the Rolls-Royce relationship with Japanese industry is that it shares technology and capability, so that the companies can work together through the whole life of an engine programme, said Mr Takei.

The Mizzou baseball team dropped game two of its series at No. 14 Ole Miss, 7-1, on Saturday afternoon (March 22) at Swayze Field. The loss drops the Tigers to 11-11 and 1-4 in SEC play while the Rebels go do 20-4 and 3-2 in SEC play. Having to shuffle the starting rotation after Friday's injury to Brett Graves (St. Charles, Mo.), the Tigers threw Peter Fairbanks (Webster Groves, Mo.) for his second start of the week and he was tagged for four earned runs over 2.0 innings as he took loss, dropping him to 2-2 on the season. Ole Miss' Christian Trent picked up the win, going 6.0+ innings while allowing just one earned run on four hits while striking out five against just two walks.

Need to Know About Social Media?
Earlier this year I had great fun speaking on a Chicago Women in Publishing panel on freelancing. CWIP asked me to present again this fall, and this time it's more about navigating social media — and how we can use these services to build personal and organizational networks and promote our own work (in a friendly, non-spammy, it's-all-about-the-social-capital kind of way).
If you're a writer wondering if a blog can help show off your expertise, or an editor who has thought about using Twitter to connect with other people interested in the topics you cover, or if you're just trying to figure out how to manage those pesky privacy settings on Facebook, this presentation is for you. We'll cover some helpful free tools and I'll show you how to create your own easy-to-use social media and news portal.
The program is Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 6 p.m. It's at the Willis (er, Sears) Tower.
There will be handouts. And a Q&A. And refreshments!

text: They must be tightening their belt, hard to tell yet if a move like this is going to hurt them at all, I know I would always pick up a Disney brochure while visiting Florida, but I was usually there to go to WDW at some point on the trip. If they want to take that money out of hotel brochure racks and put it into the parks, I'm all for it (but I don't know if that's the case). When I say put the money into the parks I mean already existing parks, no new parks please!!

Gwinnett Daily Post
Lanier Longhorns (8-AAAA)
Coach: Billy Wells
Record: 3-4, 1-3 region
Last week: Lost to Chestatee 43-36 in overtime
Stephens County Indians (8-AAAA)
Coach: Travis Noland
Record: 5-2, 2-2 region
Last week: Beat Madison County 49-0
Lanier nearly saw its losing streak come to end last week, but fell to Chestatee in overtime.
"It's definitely tough to lose in overtime," head coach Billy Wells said.
After starting the year 3-1, the third-year Longhornss have dropped three in a row. Two of the losses have been by seven points or less.
"The level of competition the last few weeks has been high," Wells said. "We're trying to mature and get better."
The Longhorns are still in the thick of a playoff berth, but need a win Friday night against Stephens County to stay in the hunt. The Indians feature running back Chaz Thornton, who rushed for 2,000 yards a year ago. They also feature one of the region's top receivers and two three-year starters at linebacker.
"It's a big week for us," Wells said. "We're trying to improve every week."
Linebacker Izzy Sam posted 20 tackles in last week's loss and is the county leader in tackles with 97. Jahbril Jones came up with two big catches for touchdowns. Marty Sanders leads the team in receiving with 29 catches for 700 yards. Chauncy West continues to play well along the offensive line.
Last meeting: First meeting
Directions to Stephens County High School: I-985, follow signs to Toccoa. At dead end, turn left and school is just over a mile on left.

Bonefish Grill Restaurant Review: Bonefish Grill restaurants are spacious operations yet feel warm and comfortable. Start with one of the soups or a shared order of the "Bang Bang Shrimp." We also like the ahi "sashimi," really more of a tataki as it's lightly seared, with wasabi and pickled ginger; order it as a main course or an appetizer. Wood-grilled fish is the menu highlight, and the sea bass (available in two sizes) is a standout. Choose one of several sauces to embellish your grilled fish, or go for the mahi mahi piccata with lemon-caper butter sauce. Among the meat dishes, try the aji panca-rubbed rib-eye paired with chimichurri sauce for an Argentine finish. For dessert, consider the strawberry shortcake or Key lime pie. The wine list is decent, if not exciting, and well priced, and offers a number of good selections by the glass. Other locations. |

(3BL Media) New York, NY – April 20, 2012 – Nearly 1,000 students at 25 leading business schools worldwide competed in the Aspen Institute's 2012 Business & Society International MBA Case Competition, which challenged competitors to tackle a new case study – produced by the Yale School of Management in conjunction with Technológico de Monterrey – requiring analysis of prospective renewable energy investments by Walmart de México y Centroamérica. Each year, this competition recognizes students who innovate at the intersection of corporate profitability and environmental, social and ethical issues.
Last Friday, five finalist teams traveled to New York City to present their recommendations to a panel of corporate representatives and to compete for their share of a $40,000 prize pool. This year's winners are:

"We are delighted to celebrate not only this year's winning teams, but all students who enthusiastically participated in the 2012 program," said Nancy McGaw, Deputy Director of the Aspen Business and Society Program. "It is vitally important that current MBA students be prepared to lead their fellow businessmen and businesswomen in using the talent and resources of for-profit business to tackle our most pressing environmental and societal problems. We hope this prestigious Competition offers a meaningful opportunity for reflection on the potential for impact that each of these students can make."
[medium_ad_right]Students had one weekend to analyze and respond to the new business and society-focused case study. On-campus competitions determined first place campus winners, whose work was reviewed by academic judges to determine the five finalist teams. All finalist teams receive prize money, with the first place team receiving $20,000 and $1,000 to donate to a 501(c)(3)-designated charity of their choice.

BMA Colorado worked with the Online Marketing Institute to develop a social media certification program tailored specifically to B2B marketers. The chapter is extending its discounted rate to the broader BMA membership.
"Whenever we ask marketers about their pain points, we hear about social media," says Marilee Yorchak, executive director of BMA Colorado. "People are being asked to take on social media at work. They are looking at it as a valuable skill set."
Aaron Kahlow, CEO-OMI, developed the certification program. It includes 13 hours of online instruction, covering everything from lead generation to analytics and visual storytelling. Students have six months to complete the program and take a certification exam.
Katherine Hughes, marketing manager-EKS&H, became one of the first BMA members to enroll in the program. She is preparing to take the lead on the accounting and business consulting firm's social media strategy.
"There is so much noise surrounding social media," Hughes says. "It's imperative that I am current on the topic. Social media will continue to grow in importance, and companies are clearly seeking marketers who are well-versed on the subject."
BMA members can use discount code BMACO to receive a 30% discount on the $789 registration.

The parents of four-and-a-half-year-old Matilda Wormwood have no interest in their daughter. Although she exhibits strong signs of being a child prodigy, they pressure her to watch television instead of her preferred activity of reading. Matilda, undaunted, goes to the library and, under the watchful eyes of the librarian, Ms. Phelps, reads every single children's book in the library. Matilda then moves on to reading adult classics such as Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, as well as the works of Rudyard Kipling, Jane Austen, and George Orwell.
When Matilda correctly answers a difficult arithmetic problem and her parents accuse her of cheating, she decides to take revenge on them through a series of pranks. She puts superglue in her father's hat, convinces her family that there is a ghost in the house (in reality, a talking parrot that Matilda has borrowed from a friend), and switches her father's hair tonic with her mother's peroxide dye. The parents never suspect that Matilda is behind these pranks.
After witnessing Matilda's great intellect in the classroom, her benevolent teacher, Jennifer "Jenny" Honey, appeals to have Matilda moved up, but the cold and bitter headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, refuses. Miss Trunchbull's treatment of her students is nothing short of child abuse, throwing children out of windows and locking wrongdoers in a closet lined with spikes, called "The Chokey." Trunchbull also tries to exploit students' weaknesses, forcing an obese child who stole her cake to eat a large, multi-layered chocolate confection in one sitting. To make matters worse for Matilda, Miss Trunchbull has bought a defective used car from Matilda's father and because of this has developed an irrational hatred for Matilda.
Meanwhile, Matilda discovers she has psychokinetic powers (this is explained as Matilda's tremendous mental prowess, after being repressed by her parents and in the classroom, seeking another outlet for itself). She learns this inadvertently when her best friend, Lavender, puts a newt in Miss Trunchbull's water glass, and Matilda somehow tips the glass over with her mind. Matilda confesses this to Miss Honey, who is surprised to learn of Matilda's powers.
Miss Honey invites Matilda to her cottage for further conversation. She lives in poverty, after being cheated out of her inheritance by Miss Trunchbull, who turns out to be her own aunt. When Matilda learns of how Miss Trunchbull mistreated Miss Honey for years on end, she formulates a plan--using her new psychokinetic powers--to get rid of the Trunchbull for good.
When Miss Trunchbull pays her next visit to Miss Honey's classroom, Matilda uses her powers to lift a piece of chalk and write with it on the blackboard. Posing as the spirit of Miss Honey's dead father Magnus (who was thought by the officials to have commited suicide, though the book and movie both suggest that he may have actually been killed by Trunchbull herself), Matilda writes a message promising grisly revenge against Miss Trunchbull (and strongly implying that Miss Trunchbull herself murdered Magnus) unless she gives Miss Honey her due inheritance. Terrified by this seemingly supernatural apparition, Trunchbull collapses. The next day, Miss Trunchbull is found to have disappeared. Magnus reveals that Miss Honey is the rightful beneficiary to his property, and she moves back into her father's house.
With the Trunchbull gone, Matilda is moved out of Miss Honey's class and into an advanced grade, where she loses all of her powers. Miss Honey theorises that because Matilda is now being challenged in school, she no longer has the excess "brainpower" that allowed her to be psychokinetic.
Meanwhile, the police are about to arrest Matilda's father for selling stolen cars. He decides to move the whole family to Spain, but Matilda asks them to let her remain with Miss Honey. They agree, as it is less of a bother, and drive away forever.
Film version
The film version was directed by Danny DeVito who also narrates the film and plays the part of Harry Wormwood. Some plot points are shortened or removed, while new details and action sequences are added. Miss Honey's poverty is not addressed; she lives fairly comfortably in her small cottage. Matilda is locked in The Chokey while the device is described briefly in the book. And Matilda breaks into the Trunchbull Mansion two times. The book goes into much greater detail about the list of the classical works that Matilda reads. It also goes into detail on how advanced Matilda is.
The film is modernized and Americanized as a retelling; it takes place in the United States instead of the Home counties of England as in the novel. Lavender is African-American only being described as a "skinny little nymph" in the book. A boy is thrown out the window for eating M&Ms in English class instead of liquorice allsorts during a Bible study class.
Smaller changes are those of ages, TV programs and the like. Matilda's brother is changed from a more-or-less ordinary boy to a bullying, fat idiot. Their mother shows some humanity by giving her daughter away because she's better suited for a life with Miss Honey, in the book, both parents drop their daughter like a rock. Trunchbull's violence to children is also slightly mitigated. When Miss Trunchbull hurls Amanda Thripp over the fence, she lands safely thanks to Matilda's powers. In the book version, she lands flat on her face and is bruised. In another moment, Bruce Bogtrotter successfully eats an entire cake without throwing up, furious, Miss Trunchbull forces everyone to stay five extra hours after school and copy from the dictionary; while in the book, she commands them furiously to leave the assembly room.
The most significant divergence is that Matilda's powers are treated more as a conventional superpower and less as a miracle. The film and book both have her start by blowing up the Wormwoods' cathode ray tube. In the film, Matilda eventually goes on to telepathically control things at will whereas she doesn't do so in the book. The final confrontation between Matilda and Miss Trunchbull is extended, in the book, Miss Trunchbull immediately leaves in fear of Magnus' "ghost". Characters in the book never lose their sense of awe and fear of Matilda's telepathic powers, in the film, characters seem unaffected by this. In the book, Matilda loses her abilities afterward while in the film she still uses them to move objects.
Relations to other Roald Dahl books
- One of the Trunchbull's means of punishments is forcibly to make an overweight boy by the name of Bruce Bogtrotter eat an enormous cake to try to make him sick after finding him guilty of stealing food from the kitchen (in many of Dahl's novels there is a rude character that is overweight, Augustus Gloop for example). In Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes one of the recipes is based on that cake.[1]
- Possibly the most dramatic form of eye-power attributed to any of Roald Dahl's characters is The Grand High Witch from The Witches - although they are of a far more dangerous nature and the character would most likely have more sympathy with Miss Trunchbull's attitude towards child justice.

ColorTone |
Ask a question about this product | ||||
Warmth: Adds additional, pleasing harmonic content to the signal. Positive settings "fatten" the sound, while negative setting are used to "thin" or "digitalize" a source. Color: Multiplies the intensity of the original IR color from natural to several times greater. Negative settings reverse the color. Norm Mode: Norm mode is straight modeling (100% wet). The intensity is set by the Color control. Blend Mode: In blend mode, a cross-fade is calculated in real-time between the dry (original) and the wet (convoluted) signals. The ratio of these signals, as a result of this cross-fade, is based on the amplitude of your input signal. The hotter the input signal, the more color in the final result, as the cross-fade will tend more towards the wet signal. That's pretty cool already, but here's something even better! By changing the strength of the wet signal, you can reshape the dynamics of your audio!
And this compression (or expansion) is oh-so-nice and colored! SLOW/FAST: User-selectable speed /knee options for blend mode operation. "SLOW" will provide a gentle softknee, "compressor-like", operation. "FAST" use an harder and more agressive knee that emulate saturation of preamps & tape machines. In: Controls the main input level. Out: Controls the main output level. The "Lock": When The Lock is on, the output knob automatically compensates for the gain setting of the input knob. Usefull for "driving" the emulated unit when in BLEND mode.
"ColorTone is a must have when mixing ITB.
It's been my "secret" weapon for awhile but will blog about it very soon."

I offer students a 'tour guide to leadership'. By exploring how leaders in a variety of situations dealt with their challenges, we can each draw valuable lessons that help us shape our own approach to leadership. It is not an easy task—and not something you can reduce to a formula.
I want UC Davis MBA students to be inspired and be enlightened. I want them to go out and make actual change in the practice of management because of what they learn here. That's my unstated rule.
People make mistakes—this includes investors saving for retirement and CEOs of major corporations. Our Center for Investor Welfare and Corporate Responsibility is the first step in both avoiding these mistakes and minimizing the damage that might be done by them.
We combine an intimate learning experience like that of a small liberal arts college with the opportunities of a premier public research university known for harnessing the power of interdisciplinary collaboration.
UC Davis MBA students experience firsthand what it takes for an idea to become a product in the market.

Leadership happens every moment of every day. You always have an opportunity to influence what other people do and why they do it by being a role model. I help students understand their leadership strengths and weaknesses, pushing them to work outside of their comfort zones—for instance, by encouraging those who are not 'natural leaders' to take the initiative.

Hey CC, wanted to get your opinion on something real quick. {{The Clone Wars comics}} is currently on the page Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir, as well as the four issue pages. I disagree with its inclusion, and would like your opinion on it. My thinking is that it's not part of The Clone Wars multimedia project, which was Legends other than the film and TV show, and we shouldn't be linking to all of those Legends comics on a canon page. Thoughts? - Brandon Rhea(talk) 06:11, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

deletion question Edit
Hi, CC7567. I'm writing to understand your rationale for deleting a page I created a few months ago. My reading of deletion policy is that a deletion must be voted upon unless the page is fanon or a junk article (defined as containing only nonsense, spam, or inappropriate material/language).
I put the page up knowing there was some chance it would be sent to the Trash Compactor, and I'm perfectly willing to abide by community consensus. But an administrative deletion short-circuits the consensus process.
Thanks for any insight you can provide. Asithol (talk) 19:07, September 3, 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the response. I am still trying to figure out which policy states that "any article that clearly violates any of the site's policies is subject to deletion by a member of the administration." This is not covered in the deletion policy, and the administrator description mentions only deleting articles based on Trash Compactor results and obvious vandalism. My understanding is that admins are bound by site policies, and cannot create ad hoc addenda or exceptions. But I'm not intimately familiar with every policy page, so perhaps you can tell me what I'm missing. Thank you. Asithol (talk) 22:13, September 9, 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, to address your other point: I did know of the trivia policy when I created the page, and I also knew there were exceptions to it; had there been a Trash Compactor discussion, I was prepared to explain my reasoning for setting this page up the way I did, and why I felt it should merit an exception, and let consensus decide from there. Asithol (talk) 22:54, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

If any fan made ideas are allowed, I noticed the karkarodon have a rather short profile and I had a few ideas of what might suit their culture.

Hi CC! I just was wondering why a lot of the TCW battle articles in the "concurrent" section of the infobox contains battles like the Battle of Atraken or the Battle of Drongar if we know that these have to be noncanon since non-TCW or non-prequel Clone Wars related stuff have been declared noncanon. Also, we can't know for certain where exactly these pre-TCW battles have occurred concurrently with certain TCW battles because we don't have an exact numerical timeline of the TCW battles and events yet. But if I'm wrong please correct me. Thanks!--Darth Pythonis (Talk) 04:31, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, but I'm still a little confused. I thought anything related to TCW is canon and the EU is any other Clone Wars stuff that came out before TCW. So wouldn't the TCW articles have non EU material?--Darth Pythonis (Talk) 07:25, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, is there a place on this wiki that talks about splitting Legends and Canon articles? And would TCW supplementary guides and books and/or TCW spinoff novels be considered canon, as I think some were written by people on the TCW team.--Darth Pythonis (Talk) 21:11, December 23, 2014 (UTC)
