By Sharon Jayson, USA TODAY
They've got the smarts and the confidence to get a job, but increasing numbers of the millennial generation — those in their mid-20s and younger — are deciding corporate America just doesn't fit their needs.
So armed with a hefty dose of optimism, moxie and self-esteem, they are becoming entrepreneurs.
"People are realizing they don't have to go to work in suits and ties and don't have to talk about budgets every day," says Ben Kaufman, 20, founder of a company that makes iPod accessories. "They can have a job they like. They can create a job for themselves."
WORK-LIFE BALANCE: Companies slow to adjust to generation's expectations
Kaufman, of Melville, N.Y., named his company Mophie for his golden retrievers, Molly and Sophie. It earned a best-of-show award at the 2006 Macworld Expo in San Francisco.
He started out with financial help from his parents, but he now has more than $1.5 million in venture capital. His line of cases, armbands and belt clips is produced in China, which he visits several times a year, between classes at Champlain College in Burlington, Vt., where he's a sophomore majoring in business.
It's no surprise that Kaufman focused first on the iPod. His generation demands customized music, and now they are trying to do the same with their lives.
"They want to create a custom life and create the kind of career that fits around the kind of life they want," says Bruce Tulgan, the founder of RainmakerThinking, a management training firm in New Haven, Conn., and an author specializing in generational diversity in the workplace.
Experts say these children of the baby-boom generation, also known as Gen Y or echo boomers, are taking to heart a desire for the kind of work-life balance their parents didn't have. They see being their own boss as a way to resolve the conflict. So now they're pressing ahead with new products or services or finding a new twist on old-style careers. They're at the leading edge of a trend toward entrepreneurship that has bubbled for decades and now, thanks in large part to technology, is starting to surge.
"It is a fun-loving generation," says Ellen Kossek, a Michigan State University professor in East Lansing who has spent 18 years researching workplace flexibility.
"They view work as part of life, but they don't live to work the way we were socialized as boomers. There is a real mismatch between what the young generation wants and what employers are offering."
Kossek says work-life issues are among the top three concerns among young graduates. But these young entrepreneurs aren't always thinking long-term about running their own shop.
"Employers aren't offering what they want, so the young say they'll be their own boss and start their own business."
But "what they find out is that it's not a way to get a work-life balance. When you have your own business, you're working long hours, because if you don't work, money doesn't come in."
Maybe because this is an optimistic bunch or perhaps because they haven't planned their lives farther than the weekend, they don't seem too worried about hard work. But because they are young and so new to the workforce, much of what is known about them is anecdotal with little existing data about their work habits.
Those who have studied generations in the workplace, such as author David Stillman of Minneapolis, do have some insights. Stillman, who co-wrote the 2002 book When Generations Collide, say these young workers have very different ideas than earlier generations.
"This generation has the group-think mentality," he says. "When you are raised to collaborate at home, then you are taught how to do that in middle school and practice it in college, you show up at work saying 'Where's my team?' They're just comfortable working with peers."
Many go into business with friends.
Maren Seibold, 25, is an environmental consultant for a Seattle area company; she teamed up last year with her 26-year-old tattoo artist husband, Mark Bentley, and a friend who does body piercing, Anthony Mason, 24, to launch Mantis Machines, which sells a redesigned version of the instrument that professional tattooists use.
Seibold, who has a degree in chemical engineering, tinkered with the tool to maximize its versatility and use a greater variety of needles. Mason's father owns a tool company and provided the materials. A $10,000 loan helped them get started. "It was something we all wanted to do," Seibold says.
Bureau of Labor Statistics data for 2005 show that some 370,000 young people ages 16-24 were self-employed, the occupational category that includes entrepreneurs. In 1975, when baby boomers were young, some 351,000 were in that category. While that growth over 30 years isn't striking, indicators suggest more change ahead. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the self-employed category will grow 5% from 2004 to 2014, compared with 2% growth for the decade that began in 1994.
Such growth is largely a result of the Internet, where snazzy websites don't betray a home-based operation. Entrepreneurs can be more professional with less need for capital or office space. Global communication is easy and immediate. Businesses can outsource products and services and get a toll-free telephone number for nationwide access. Taking a risk isn't quite the financial leap of faith it once was.
"There's such a frontier for possible business ideas," says Scott Neuberger, 25, CEO of Boston-based Collegeboxes. "The barrier to entry is very low and doesn't require a lot of money in a lot of cases. I think there's more of an entrepreneurial spirit in our generation than perhaps in other generations. Being an entrepreneur has become cool and sexy."
In 2004, Neuberger bought Collegeboxes, competitor of a business he started at Washington University in St. Louis to help students relocate. It now operates in 18 states, offering door-to-door pickup and delivery, shipping and storage services and appliance rentals.
College students also are the focus of Arel Moodie's business, The Placefinder, which helps students find off-campus housing, roommates and sublets at his alma mater, Binghamton University, in upstate New York. Moodie, of Johnson City, N.Y., plans to expand further into the state and to New Jersey.
Getting started required taking a risk. "We were scared out of our minds," Moodie, 23, says. "We realized we're young, and we may not know everything we need to know, but what do we have to lose? If the business doesn't work, we'll totally get jobs like everybody else."
The self-employed are considerably more satisfied with their jobs than are other workers, according to a Pew Research Center poll of 2,003 Americans ages 18 and over released in August. They're more satisfied with their salaries, the job security, chances for promotion, level of on-the-job stress, flexibility of hours and proximity of work and home, the poll found.
"You've got a generation that has clearly seen the corporate culture not be loyal to their employees," says David Finney, president of Champlain College, which this fall launched a new program to lure enterprising undergraduates already in business for themselves. "This generation understands that the burden of taking care of themselves rests with them and not some company."
Although being an entrepreneur doesn't require a college degree, increasing numbers of campuses are offering courses to inspire those with business acumen. The Kansas City, Mo.-based Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, which promotes entrepreneurship, keeps a tally of courses related to entrepreneurship at two-year and four-year colleges and universities. Newly-compiled data show that 80% of the 2,662 campuses in the report offer at least one such course.
Last month, Grand Canyon University, a private, Christian university in Phoenix, announced a new College of Entrepreneurship that, starting in January, will provide students with seed money from a venture capital fund vested with $4.5 million to help launch projects.
Ian Schumann, 21, started his ultralight backpacking gear company this fall during his senior year at the University of Texas at Austin. He personally bankrolled his invention — a trekking pole — that he assembles and sells under the name Adapt All-Terrain Gear.
"All the money I've put into it has come out of my personal savings. It was something I was excited about trying to make work," he says. "If it doesn't work, I've wasted $1,500."
Senior Jason Nikel, 23, of Shelburne, Vt., is in Champlain College's entrepreneurial program. Nikel, a multimedia and graphic design major, created a clothing line of hats, T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts called Third Shift Clothing.
"It's not exactly at the point where I can graduate and have the income support me, so I'll keep it as a side project as I have for the past two years," he says. "I'll take it as far as it can go."
Sheena Lindahl, 24, and husband Michael Simmons, 25, have turned the rise of entrepreneurialism into their own business. While attending New York University in 2003, the duo started Extreme Entrepreneurship Education to help their peers pursue their dream careers. Lindahl has supported herself since age 17. Simmons started a website-development company at 16, has won awards for entrepreneurship and wrote an inspirational book about business success. This fall, they branched out with a tour of college campuses to inspire future entrepreneurs.
"I think it has a lot to do with the high expectations we were brought up with. 'You can do it. You can have what you want,' " Lindahl says. "We're criticized for wanting it all: high pay, purposeful work, flexible hours. It's hard for people in our generation just to do work"

In a landmark study for space-based observation of the motions of the earth's crust, geologists have used the same satellite navigation system used to guide motorists and boaters to monitor the movement of an entire continent and record the yearly growth of the Andes Mountains in South America to within a fraction of an inch.
The finding, the cover story in the Jan. 16 issue of the journal Science, holds promise for improved earthquake hazard estimation, as it shows that satellite data can help geologists to calculate the accumulating stresses along fault lines as the plates of the earth's crust slide over each other.
Researchers from Northwestern University, the University of Miami, the Carnegie Institution and the University of Memphis, along with Peruvian and Bolivian scientists, used the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to measure movements at locations across the South American continent over a two-year period. Previously, geologists have had to rely on data that traced accumulated plate motions over millions of years' time.
"We're in a whole new world where we can actually look at geology in real time," said Seth Stein, professor of geological sciences at Northwestern and principal investigator on the study. "The GPS has changed the field from a historical approach to a present-time approach."
It was Darwin who first suspected that the giant mountains, huge volcanoes and great earthquakes that occur along the Pacific coast of South America were related. In the 1960s, geologists realized that these phenomena were all consequences of the fact that the oceanic Nazca plate was sliding under the South American plate.
But scientists studying plate tectonics have been able to observe changes only as they accumulated in the geologic record over millions of years, because the continent-sized plates move only a few inches each year -- about the speed fingernails grow.
Enter the GPS. The Global Positioning System, a network of two dozen orbiting satellites, was developed in the 1970s by the Defense Department to locate ships and aircraft to within a range of about 100 yards. The same degree of accuracy proved useful to trucking companies and shipping fleets and is now in widespread civilian use by drivers, boaters and even hikers.
But geologists have spent the past decade refining the technology to be able to pinpoint a location with far greater precision -- about an eighth of an inch.
"Obviously the military has no need to pinpoint targets to within three millimeters -- and neither do drivers," Stein said. "If you just turn on a GPS receiver and wait two minutes, it will tell you where you are within a hundred meters. But if you keep recording for a couple of days, and use a $20,000 receiver instead of a $300 receiver, you can get sub-centimeter accuracy."
Researchers drove large pins into firm ground at 43 separate locations on the South American continent. They traveled to each site and used a tripod-mounted precise optical plumb system to position an antenna directly over the landmark, then tracked the satellite for a couple of days as the GPS receiver recorded the position of the satellite.
"That gave us a huge data set so we could get very precise ground positions," explained Northwestern graduate student Lisa Leffler-Griffin, whose Ph.D. dissertation is based on the work. "We processed the satellite data to get rid of errors from uncertainties in the orbits and from atmospheric influences on the radio signals."
The results show that about three inches of motion per year occurs between the Nazca and South American plates, and is divided three ways. About 1.4 inches per year of the Nazca plate slides smoothly under South America, giving rise to volcanoes. Another 1.3 inches per year is locked up at the plate boundary, squeezing South America, and is released every hundred years or so in great earthquakes. About 0.3 inches of motion per year crumples South America, building the Andes.
"The Andes were a prime target for us, because along with the Himalayas, they are the highest and broadest mountain range that is actively building now," Stein said. "This is an enormously seismically-prone area. Some of the largest earthquakes in the world happen here."
The researchers compared their findings to the predicted values of NUVEL-1, the standard plate motion model developed at Northwestern University that describes the relative velocities and directions in which all of the earth's plates move.
"What's really nice is that it looks like something we've suspected for a long time, that these movements occur fairly smoothly over a 25 million year period," said Stein, who was one of the developers of NUVEL-1. "We've had no idea of how geologic processes over millions of years correspond to those on a time scale of years. We're now beginning to understand that they're similar. So plate motion is a very steady phenomenon."
Stein said the new data demonstrate that space-based measurements can show in detail how plate motion occurs at the boundary zones between pairs of plates, such as the Andes, Himalayas or San Andreas. The data also show that the interiors of plates are mostly rigid, a key assumption of most plate tectonic models. But in addition, he said, it is now possible to study the mysterious zones in the interior of plates that shouldn't move but do, such as the New Madrid zone in the central U.S., where giant earthquakes occurred from 1811 to 1812. Stein is part of another team of researchers using the GPS to quantify the rate and distribution of strain accumulation in the New Madrid seismic zone.
In addition to Stein and Leffler-Griffin of Northwestern, other authors on the Science paper are Edmundo Norabuena and Leonidas Ocola of the Instituto Geofisico del Peru, Ailin Mao and Timothy Dixon of the University of Miami, Selwyn Sacks of the Carnegie Institute and Michael Ellis of the University of Memphis.
The research was supported by NASA and the National Science Foundation.

text: An Aerosol-sealing Technology was developed by LBNL to seal leaks in Air Duct Systems (ADS). The firm AEROSEAL already commercializes this technology for residential ADS. The current goal of our research at the Laboratory is to apply this technology to large commercial ADS. That means to develop a new kind of injector called "Compact Injector". So far, the injector that is used is a nozzle from the Schlick-Dusen firm. Results in terms of sealing rate are satisfactory, but this nozzle quickly clogs up with sealant particles. There are two reasons for the clogging problem: the deposition of particles in the liquid tube and on the tip of it, and the fact of switching it on and off (when it is off some particles stay inside and dry). In order to solve this problem, we invented a new kind of injector with a dual-air -assistant system: a heated compressed air system to inject and dry the particles, and an insulating air system around the liquid tube to insulate it from the hot air and keep it around room temperature. The work which will be presented has two main objectives: first is to prove the concept and develop it to apply the new nozzle as soon as possible if it is conclusive, and the second objective is to take out a patent.

I'm always excited to go on a motorcycle trip. When my wife Robin can get the time off of work to join me as a passenger, I'm over the moon. She's great company, and the best pillion rider I've ever met. A ride with Robin is the best.
We're starting out from home this time, which is great. While I enjoy exploring the country on a bike, eliminating the travel days to and from a remote starting point gives us more time actually riding, and less time in airports.
I have picked up a 2012 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Limited from the H-D press fleet. The bike is a beauty with just 700 miles on the clock. It has a striking two-tone Midnight Pearl over Brilliant Silver Pearl paint job, black and chrome 28-spoke cast aluminum wheels, a 103 cubic inch Twin Cam engine, anti-lock Brembo brakes and heated handgrips, among other great features. I'm in love with this bike. It's absolutely beautiful, and it rides like a dream.
Robin and I pack carefully. We've got it down to a science now, and I'm constantly honing my travel gear down for lighter weight and less bulk. We're going to be going through some extreme terrain on this trip, so we need to be prepared. I've equipped Robin with some new overpants for the ride, high denier Cordura with removable impact pads. Matched with her jacket, she will be better protected from wind, rain and (heaven forbid) crashes than ever before. Robin's safety and comfort are very important to me. I'm sporting my well-worn Harley-Davidson FXRG Perforated Leather Jacket and FXRG Leather & Textile Overpants, along with my FXRG Boots. The great thing about this rig is that I'll be safe and comfortable in a wide range of temperatures and conditions, and I won't have to carry a bulky set of rain gear.
We pull out of our garage early in the morning. The first stretch of our ride will be on Los Angeles' freeway system, never a fun run. That's okay, because we have a pretty long distance to cover today. We're going to cross the border and dip our toes into Arizona before slipping back into our home state and settling in for the night in Needles, California. We'll be covering about 350 miles before night falls.
We use the first stretch of the ride as a shakedown, making sure that our gear is secure, our seating positions are comfortable and our systems are working. We're using a Bluetooth helmet-to-helmet communications system on this trip, Cardo's Scala Rider G4 PowerSet, and we're discovering its strengths and quirks while we ride. It's nice to be able to talk a little bit during the ride, and it's a luxury to be able to pipe music into our helmets for the boring freeway parts of the ride.
It's incredible how quickly the megalopolis of Los Angeles trails off into the desert. Even traveling on major freeways, the enormous expanses of desert are awe-inspiring. Not for the last time on this trip I am filled with admiration for the pioneers who first crossed these deserts. Even as recently as 100 years ago, the idea of a pleasure trip across this terrain would have been unthinkable. We have come a long way in a very short time.
We decide to blast right past one of our favorite desert cities, Palm Springs, which is approximately 100 miles away from our home. The beautiful BEST WESTERN PLUS Las Brisas Hotel is a great place to stay in Palm Springs, but we're pushing along today. We don't even stop at Hadley Fruit Orchards (http://www.hadleyfruitorchards.com/home.aspx) in Cabazon, home of the world famous date shakes. That's a trip for another day.
Instead, we jump on California 62, and head toward the city of Twentynine Palms. It's time for a meal, so we stop at the Carousel Cafe. The sunbaked diner turns out to be our favorite kind of place: a little funky and very friendly with delicious food and generous portions.
Refreshed and full, we jump back on the bike for a short ride to the Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center to learn a little more about the area. Open year round, the park has over 550,000 acres of wilderness, with fantastic hiking, birding and wildflower viewing areas. If you like it hot, this is the place for you. Temperatures regularly peak at over 100 degrees in June, July and August. On a winter day like today, the temperature at the Visitor Center is a very comfortable 65 degrees. The Visitor Center is a great place to start exploring Joshua Tree. The Park Rangers are helpful, informative and experienced. We take a few minutes to look through a spectrograph that they're demonstrating outside the building, looking directly at the sun, which is in the midst of an enormous season of solar flares.
Back on the bike, we face the vast expanse of the Mojave Desert. California 62 cuts through the heart of one of the most sparsely populated sections of the High Desert, so we top off the gas tank and pack a few liter bottles of water in the TourPak. There are high wind warnings for this part of the ride, and even in Joshua Tree, the breezes have kicked up. By the time we're beyond the park, gales of wind are blowing across the roadway from the northwest. We later learn that gusts of up to 90 miles per hour were reported along the route that we traveled. The Electra Glide takes the conditions right in stride. In fact, the faster I ride, the more composed the ride. The biggest challenge isn't keeping the bike upright, it's keeping our helmets from blowing sideways. Both Robin and I notice that our necks are strained from the experience.
It's worth it, though. The ride through the desert is exhilarating and beautiful. The road is dead straight through the valleys, traversing big open expanses. At times, I was able to see all the way to the horizon in all four directions without any evidence of another human being (other than Robin) beyond the road. It was a remarkable experience.
We finally reached the Arizona state line. We cross the Colorado River and are welcomed into the Grand Canyon State at the small town of Parker. We'll be tracing the route of the Colorado for the next few hours as we turn north toward Lake Havasu City. The Colorado River cuts a swath through the American Southwest, from its headwaters in Colorado, through Utah, into Arizona and through the Grand Canyon and then defining the border between Arizona and the neighboring states of Nevada and California. The subject of political, economic and social debate, the Colorado is also a great source of recreation. Boating, fishing, swimming and powersports abound along the Colorado and the lakes that have formed along its length.
We reach one of those lakes, Lake Havasu and follow the signs to the most unique attraction in Lake Havasu City: The London Bridge. Back in 1968, Lake Havasu City's founder Robert P. McCulloch bought the actual London Bridge from the Common Council of the City of London, and had it transported and reconstructed in Arizona. The bridge was rededicated in 1971, and has become Arizona's second-largest touring attraction in the decades since. Several restaurants and gift shops have sprung up in the shadow of the bridge. The cognitive dissonance of seeing an iconic European bridge in the American West is worth the trip.
Back on the bike again, we cross the Colorado River again, this time toward the west. We make a quick freeway blast along Interstate 40 to Needles, California, and locate the BEST WESTERN Colorado River Inn. The cozy lobby of the hotel proudly displays memorabilia of Route 66 — turns out that the BEST WESTERN Colorado River Inn sits on a section of the great road. We check in to our room, then mosey across the parking lot to Juicy's River Cafe for dinner. We're mighty tired from our long day's ride, but we manage to scarf down some delicious chow. For some reason, I've been craving Chicken Fried Steak all day, and Juicy's provides a very good example for my consumption. Yum.
We retire for the evening in our comfortable, clean room. Tomorrow is a shorter day, but still a healthy distance. We'll be back in Arizona, and we're looking forward to the ride.
Distance ridden: 385 miles
NEXT: Desert Adventure, Day Two: Needles, CA to Phoenix, AZ

Hype: derived from the Latin word "Hypehamous," which means to build something up only to be completely disappointed. Just kidding. I haven't the slightest idea where the term "hype" came from. What I DO know is that there is a ton of hype in this crazy world we live in. It seems as if every time I turn on the television or open a magazine the "next best thing" is being thrown in my face. How do we distinguish the le faux from the la vérité?! I don't have all the answers yet, but here are a few things that just aren't living up to their promise.
2012: The End of the World
As my friend Marion said, "Why should I trust a calendar developed by a culture who wouldn't even use the wheel?" I believe the hype surrounding this ominous date has died down since the movie came out (and flopped, mind you), but it's still lingering somehow. Let's all act like John Cusack's agent and forget the whole 2012 thing ever happened. Seriously, if the world ends on December whatever, 2012, then I guess you could say the joke's on us.
.....But, that'll be hard for you because you'll also be drowning in a sea of molten lava, just like the rest of us.
Lip Plumpers
Unfortunately, I'm a sucker for anything that claims to plump your pout. In fact, I've been on this journey since high school. It all started with my beloved DuWop Lip Venom; as soon as the tingly sensation hit my lips, I knew they were as full as swollen as a bee sting. Then I looked in the mirror--they weren't. They just FELT like they were huge...and we all know how you feel has no correlation with how you look.
Eight years later, you think I'd know better than to believe a chemical irritant, although spicy and invigorating, isn't going to give me the collagen effect I'm going for. I will continue to use my LipFusion lip gloss until it's gone, but at this point, I'm throwing in the towel. And if that picture is even remotely real, then I'm going to strap an Ab Belt and de-jowlify myself, after I find out what she put on her lips.
If you have a lip plumper you love, please please please prove me wrong and share your secret!
Celebrity Perfumes
Nobody ever buys those celeb-u-scents,' you may be thinking to yourself. Au contraire. Celebrities would never sign the dotted line of anything if there wasn't some highly lucrative incentive in it for them. Do you want to smell like Britney Spears (i.e. Frappuccinos and Cheetos)? Yeah, I don't either, but I'm telling you, some people do.
Stop the insanity! If Paris Hilton comes out with another perfume, I might have to buy into the 2012 nonsense because then I'll really know the end is nigh.

As expected, the full Kardashian brood attended Avril Lavigne's S/S12 collection for Abbey Dawn yesterday where 14 year-old Kylie Jenner walked into the show. Even new member of the family, Kris Humphries, made an appearance sitting next to Lavigne's boyfriend and Kardashian step-brother Brody Jenner.
The show was just what you would imagine an Avril Lavigne collection to be. So yes, over the knee length black and white striped shorts came with just about everything, short tutus appeared as did plaid shirts, braces, super short checked skirts, bowler hats and fingerless lace gloves so not necessarily what you would want to see your teenager daughter in. Think Taylor Momsen, and you're almost there.
Just in case you're interested, have a look at the collection in our gallery.

Restoration BBC2
Watching the Detectives BBC1
My New Best Friend C4
Do or Diet BBC1
Close your eyes, and Griff Rhys Jones sounds not unlike David Bellamy. The vowels are as stretched as too-tight knicker elastic, and the delivery so mightily enthusiastic that his jaw must throb for hours after every take. Open your eyes, and the similarities are even harder to ignore. There he is, rustling through the undergrowth, hair all grey and tufty, eyes bulging like rehydrated prunes. It's an amazing performance.
By the time he's done, you no longer care that, along with his friend Mel Smith, he was responsible for some of the least funny sketches ever shown on television. Instead, just like the buildings he hopes to save, he appears before you as a sorely neglected national treasure. Call the number at the end of this piece if you want to help buy him a new cagoule.
Rhys Jones is the presenter of Restoration, the BBC's latest interactive show. The idea is simple but canny, given our fondness for all things National Trust. Across Britain, thousands of historic houses, castles and factories are in danger of being lost. Restoration has come up with a list of 30 buildings. Each week, in groups of three, it asks viewers to vote on which most deserves to be restored. Winners go through to a final, after which one building will receive funds raised through a BBC appeal. It's a bit like Fame Academy, except here the talent is actually worth investing in - and the only noise to be endured is the gentle creaking of the odd cantilevered staircase.
The stars of the first programme hailed from the north-west of England, and our guide Griff was very excited about them. (You knew this because, at times, his arms were waving so frantically that I feared for the seams of his orange woolly.) So was his crack team of 'investigators' - Ptolemy Dean, architect, and Marianne Suhr, building surveyor. 'Wow!' said Dean every five seconds. Still, he had a point. At the first glimpse of the Grade II listed Bank Hall in Bretherton, Lancashire (built in 1608), I, for one, wanted to bawl. There were branches nudging through the building's roof tiles and ivy strangling its architraves. Even so, a more lovely pile of bricks and mortar was hard to imagine.
In the Thirties, we were told, the Aga Khan visited; he consumed a pudding in the shape of an ocean liner entirely made of ice-cream. Now, nobody much passes through, unless you count the bats. How much to restore? £2.4 million. Compare that to the cost of getting the career of the next Gareth Gates off the ground.
I wanted to hate Restoration. It sounded so twee, the televisual equivalent of a heritage tea towel. But, oh, it was difficult to resist: the moody historical reconstructions (Rolls-Royces on gravel drives, fat cooks pummelling mushroom clouds of pastry); the eyewitness accounts ('He was very chatty,' said Mary, who shook hands with the Aga Khan as a child); the local campaigners (doughty types in wellies and leather jerkins who spend their evenings administering a little TLC to these ailing edifices). These things were all unexpectedly moving.
Then Dean visited Manchester's Victoria Baths and I was, I'm afraid, truly undone. There were tiles the colour of freshly landed bladderwrack, and wrought iron-work as delicate as old lace. There were Turkish baths and steam rooms and claw-footed tubs for the working man. Best of all, there was Sunny Lowry, who in 1933 became the first British woman to swim the Channel. She learnt her breaststroke at the Victoria Baths, and thought it a crying shame the council could no longer afford to run them. 'I put Manchester on the map,' she said stoutly. 'My father was very proud of me.' Her face - still as round as when she used to demolish eight eggs a day - said it all.
Are we really going to let buildings like this lie down and die? Lowry will be very disappointed in us if we do.
There was restoration of a different order in Watching the Detectives. A crime had been committed but no body found - a mystery it was up to the mustachioed, grey-suited detective constables of South Yorkshire to solve.
In the Barnsley house of his girlfriend Colleen, Danny Thompson, a thug and drug dealer, had killed 21-year-old Shane Collier with a kitchen knife. He had then forced Colleen to help clean up and dispose of the body, which he buried in a wood somewhere in Cumbria. Scared witless - Danny regularly beat her to within an inch of her life - Colleen insisted to police that she knew nothing about the disappearance of Shane, irrespective of what her four terrified daughters, who had seen his bleeding body, were saying. The police had different ideas.
With Colleen temporarily in custody, they set about finding Shane and his murderer. This documentary was breathtaking, and for all sorts of reasons: its access (we were spared nothing, from boring meetings by the station coffee machine to the opening of bin liners dredged from a pond); its pace (a whole, slowly unfolding hour, as if the doggedness of the police had rubbed off on the film crew); and, perhaps most significantly, its refusal to gloss or glamorise.
In television land, we are accustomed to forensic experts who look like Amanda Burton, all cheekbones and sage suits, and to scene-of-crime officers who look like Trevor Eve, all flowing locks and elegant overcoats. Here, though, the policemen were doughy and clammy-skinned, their women colleagues sturdy and plain-speaking.
Their work, you felt, was life-sapping: the sheer impossibility of there ever being an end to it. Yet they did it tenderly, patiently, proudly. I knew poor old Colleen would be alright with this lot - and, at times, that was all that kept me from covering my eyes at the horror of it all.
Almost as flinch-inducing, albeit for different reasons, was the new 'comedy game show' My New Best Friend. In this excruciating series - watchable only with brie stuffed in your ears and the door open in case you have to run from the room - the contestant has to pass off a total stranger, as played by actor Marc Wootton, as his best mate. If all his real-life friends are convinced by this unlikely relationship, the contestant wins £10,000. If not, well, he or she will have revealed themselves to be an ignorant, intolerant pig for nothing.
Oh, come on. You don't imagine they're going to send contestants a friend they're likely to get on with, do you? Where are the gags in that? Show one saw 25-year-old Tim from London ('Big on babes, can't stand weirdos') bowing to the every whim of 'Stevie', the campest man in the world. Stevie arrived as Tim was playing squash, announced that he used to be his counseller ('Lots of anger issues') and, courtside, proceeded to act like the bastard child of Elton John and Farah Fawcett. Tim looked like someone had shoved a pool cue up his behind. After this, it all got pretty silly.
Stevie made Tim perform a rebirthing ritual while sitting in a paddling pool and wearing a Native American headdress, then forced him to tell a girlfriend that he was gay. Periodically, Tim would retreat to his room and yell obscenities at a video camera. Of course, this charade might not have been quite so hateful had not Tim's friends fallen for it hook, line and sinker. As the titles rolled, he was rewarded with a hefty cheque for being, now, let's see ... a nasty, shouty, borderline homophobe. It seemed a bilious kind of victory to me.
Do or Diet is a new daytime series presented by Gail Porter. I watched it for one reason, and one reason only. I found it impossible to believe that anyone could conjure up so feeble a title and get away with it (think about it for a nanosecond, and you will notice that it doesn't work on any level). After I tuned in, of course, all became clear. When television is this cheap, who cares what you call it?
Bobbie Smedley was getting married. She had 10 weeks to lose some weight. The BBC provided her with a personal trainer, and then followed her round her kitchen. Naturally, having thrown out her extensive collection of cherry bakewells, she lost the pounds. But for how long?
For hubby-to-be, a mid-morning snack consisted of one scotch egg, two sausage rolls, two Penguins, a Snickers and a bag of Worcestershire sauce crisps - a menu of shame that had his true love tittering with what sounded like admiration. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but from this viewer's position on the sofa, Bobbie's weight loss looked like being every bit as transient - and pointless - as the programme that inspired it.

How To Set The Clock On A Honda Pilot And Odyssey [VIDEO]By Patty Peck Honda Sales | Posted in Odyssey, Pilot on Wednesday, November 7th, 2012 at 10:25 am
We have received many request for video instructions on setting the clock on a 2012 and newer Honda Pilots and Odysseys? We asked Steve Hawkins to demonstrate the steps on a 2013 Honda Pilot in this short video. This process will be the same on 2012 and 2013 Honda Pilots and similar in the 2011 through 2013 Honda Odysseys without Navigation.
Read More: 2016 Honda Pilot Clock Settings
You will find the same information and more in your Honda Owners manual around page 109 or so depending on year and model of your Honda. Just remember before you can use the CLOCK button your ignition switch should be in the ON or II position, then follow these steps as Steve demonstrates in the video:
- Press the CLOCK button to access the clock adjustment mode screen.
- Press the center of the selector knob to select the item you want to adjust (12/24 hour mode, hour, minute).
- Rotate selector knob to make the adjustment.
- Press the center of the selector knob to enter your selection. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to adjust other items.
- To enter the selection, press the center of the selector knob, select EXIT, then press center of the selector knob on last time to save your changes.
Models With Navigation System
On Honda Pilots and Odysseys with a factory navigation system, your clock is automatically updated through that system, so you will not need to adjust.

Separating myth from reality in identifying DG applications.
Separating myth from reality in identifying DG applications.
It's no secret that distributed generation technologies have become more efficient and less costly. As a result, the potential of distributed generation (DG) to provide cost-effective alternatives to central-station generating facilities and traditional "poles and wires" investments for electric distribution has increased. But despite the loudest voices of DG's greatest proponents-manufacturers and, in some cases, utility regulators-DG isn't viable in all situations, and rumors of the death of traditional utility investments are greatly exaggerated.
DG technologies, especially fuel cells, are receiving increasing attention in the popular press as the "Holy Grail" of distributed generating technology. For example, in "Dreams of the New Power Grid," which appeared in the March 2002 issue of Popular Science, the goal is fuel cells in every home. That article quotes one fuel cell proponent who compares price projections for fuel cells to the rapid drops in prices for VCRs. Alas, images of microturbines and fuel cells humming away quietly and reliably in millions of basements remain just that: images. While DG has filled certain niche applications well, some of the promised technological breakthroughs have not materialized as quickly as expected. Furthermore, like the proverbial tortoise, generation manufacturers have continued to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of traditional generation technologies.
So what role DG play in the future? Answering that question is critical for utilities, regulators, and especially consumers, who will continue to demand greater quantities of electricity. Utilities, developers, regulators, and consumers all have an interest in ensuring that the best applications of distributed resources are identified, lest DG be over-sold and have its real promise squandered.
A number of regulatory initiatives establishing DG programs have begun in states as diverse as California and Vermont. In the fall of 2001, the New York State Public Service Commission (NYPSC) issued an order requiring the electric utilities it regulates to participate in a pilot program designed to test the applicability of DG alternatives. 1 The Vermont Department of Public Service is currently engaged in a collaborative program with the state's electric utilities to develop standards for evaluating and installing DG. Indiana's regulators also have begun a similar process to investigate the role of DG.
All of these efforts will need to address a variety of environmental, reliability, and safety issues. The fundamental test of DG, however, ought to be its impact on the bottom line: will it increase utility costs and lead to higher customer rates?
Through case studies and the development of an economic model that evaluates DG alternatives using advanced investment analysis techniques, we have discovered several critical issues surrounding the economics of DG. Our studies have specifically incorporated future uncertainties concerning market prices, operating costs, and load growth, as well as reliability consequences. We believe that successful DG applications can be identified only after analyzing these critical issues. Otherwise, regulators and utilities risk unpleasant surprises.

'The Biggest Loser' votes David Jones off of Bob Harper's Blue Team
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 02/05/2013
The Biggest Loser
David Jones
during Monday night's NBC broadcast of the reality weight-loss competition's sixth fourteenth-season episode.
David, a 51-year-old police officer from Kiefer, OK, was eliminated after his Blue Team posted the lowest weight-loss percentage at the season's sixth weekly elimination weigh-in -- which featured only one person's weight-loss counting on behalf of that player's entire team -- and then individually cast the majority of their votes to oust him from the ranch.
"It's going to be really tough leaving the ranch because I just felt like I was really just on the cusp of being able to give even more than I have already, similar to the way I approach problem solving, has been what's led to my overeating. But probably the most important thing I've discovered is how strong I am. There's a person inside here that can really take on a lot of stuff. I'm thrilled about the amount of work I've put in and about the weight I've lost. I'm not going to waste this opportunity. I'm going to open up this soul and get rid of all the bad," David said following his ouster.
The sixth broadcast of
The Biggest Loser
fourteenth season began with host
Alison Sweeney
telling the nine remaining contestants that only one person would be facing the scale per team at the end of the week, and that person wouldn't be selected until the weigh-in commenced. Alison explained that trainers
Bob Harper
Jillian Michaels
and Dolvett Quince would each roll a giant die at the time of the weigh-in to determine his or her team's representative. Therefore, every contestant had to be ready.
After working out, the Red Team, White Team and Blue Team met with Alison again and learned they'd be competing in the week's challenge.
For the challenge, one person on each team had to step forward and roll the die featuring each team member's face. The face it landed on would be the person responsible for participating in the challenge on behalf of his or her team. In the end, three people total must traverse a balance beam, grab a plate with a calorie count on it, take it back to the start, and then assign it to one of five foods listed -- a double cheeseburger, a bagel with cream cheese, yogurt and fruit, cheese raviolis, and chicken with shredded cheddar cheese.
The people selected to compete would not be able to get help from their teammates, and the first person to match all five plates with the correct food options would win.
Jackson Carter
, a 21-year-old volunteer coordinator for LGBT resource center and movie theater assistant manager from Layton, UT, was randomly selected to represent the Red Team.
Gina McDonald
, a 47-year-old attorney and law firm owner from Hoover, AL, was chosen on behalf of the Blue Team, and
Dannielle "Danni" Allen
, a 26-year-old advertising account coordinator from Wheeling, IL, was forced to play for the White Team since she was its only remaining member.
In the end, Danni won the challenge. For winning, she got to read a heartfelt and inspirational letter from home.
The Biggest Loser
trainers checked in with the season's three teen participants and their improvement.
Sanjana "Sunny" Chandrasekar
, a 16-year-old eleventh-grader from Rochester, NY, was running a fitness circuit during her gym class.
Noah "Biingo" Gray
, a 13-year-old eighth-grader from New Windsor, MD, started his own sports club for boys, and
Lindsay Bravo
, a 13-year-old eighth-grader from Fillmore, CA, promoted an anti-bullying campaign at her high school's pep rally.
All the contestants then took part in their last chance workouts. Dolvett had his team box with professional boxer
Laila Ali
, the daughter of legend Muhammad Ali.
That night, the three teams arrived for
The Biggest Loser
sixth fourteenth-season elimination weigh-in.
Alison revealed the losing team to post the lowest weight-loss percentage would deliberate and decide via a vote which of its team members must go home. The players would enter the new voting room to cast their votes one by one, however if the White Team lost, Danni would automatically be eliminated.
If the Red or Blue Team was to lose the weigh-in, the individual to post the highest weight-loss percentage on the team would receive immunity and be safe from the vote.
One person per team was then selected at random via the die to weigh-in. Dolvett rolled the die and it landed on
Joe Ostaszewski
, a 43-year-old senior sales executive from Williston, FL. Bob selected
Jeff Nichols
, a 24-year-old pharmaceutical representative from Monroe, MI, to weigh-in for the Blue Team. Danni was the last White Team member and would therefore hold her own fate in her hands.
The players then stepped on the scale one by one and Dolvett's Red Team went first.
Jackson lost only one pound, going from 280 pounds to 279 pounds. He was then followed by
Francelina Morillo
, a 25-year-old student and store manager from Albany, NY, who dropped seven pounds and went from 224 pounds to 217 pounds. Joe, whose weight actually counted, shed eight pounds and went from 299 pounds to 291 pounds.
Joe's weight-loss gave the Red Team a total of eight pounds and a weight-loss percentage to beat of 2.68%.
Danni weighed-in next, and her trainer Jillian was rooting for her all the way but skeptical she could have yet another great week on the scale. Danni lost six pounds, dropping from 213 pounds to 207 pounds. Her 2.82% weight-loss percentage beat that of Joe's.
Bob's Blue Team was the last to weigh-in.
Gina was the first member to step on the scale and dropped four pounds, going from 197 pounds to 193 pounds. She was then followed by
Alexandra "Alex" Reid
, a 24-year-old legal assistant from Carrolton, TX, who lost three pounds and went from 207 pounds to 204 pounds.
Michael Dorsey
, a 34-year-old college professor and communications consultant from Baltimore, MD, lost eight pounds and declined from 371 pounds to 363 pounds. David shed three pounds and went from 253 pounds to 250 pounds. Jeff, whose weight actually counted, shed six pounds, dropping from 329 to 323. His 1.82% weight-loss percentage was not enough to keep his team safe.
Alison then declared Francelina "the biggest loser" of the week and announced the Blue Team had lost the weigh-in and would be forced to vote someone off. They could not vote for Michael, but in the event of a tie, another team would enter the room and determine whom to eliminate.
Jeff, Gina, and Michael all voted to oust David from
The Biggest Loser
ranch. David voted for Jeff and Alex's vote was not shown because it wouldn't have made a difference in the results.
In a post-elimination update, David -- who started
The Biggest Loser
weighing 307 pounds -- said he currently weighs 220 pounds. He now feels proud to wear his police uniform and has apparently become an inspiration to most guys in his department. In addition, David said he's been finding it easier to take care of his daughter Tiffany, who has Terrets, since he's stronger and more in shape.

Applications open for civilian police academy
An upcoming free series of classes aimed at educating the public about behind-the-scenes action in the Waynesville Police Department will kick off in March and will offer people an opportunity to volunteer within the department.
The six-week long civilian police academy will cover every topic including record keeping, canine patrol, search and seizure laws, juvenile and domestic laws, traffic stop procedures, the process of taking evidence and even how to shoot a gun.
Jim and Mary Ford, who moved here three years ago, knew right away they wanted to get involved in a local organization. When a large tree fell in their driveway shortly after they settled into their home and two police officers came to direct traffic around the tree, Jim was inspired to volunteer with the department.
"Directing traffic, anyone can do that job," Jim said. "We wanted to help the department keep uniforms out on the street."
But to volunteer for the police department, civilians must gain a strong understanding of how the department works and graduating from the civilian police academy is the most rewarding way to do it.
"You get a better understanding of what police here do," said Mary Ford, who is also president alumni of the academy. "Most of the time people don't even think about police until they make the 9-1-1 call. In a lot of ways (the academy) gives you more respect for what they do."
Attendees of the academy can expect interactive and informative classes taught by the head of each department — no book work, no tests.
Hepsy Patrick, who first attended the academy in 2007, said she was scared of guns before she took the class and Lt. Brian Beck taught gun safety. The class ultimately went to the shooting range to test their skills.
"I was terrified but he was right there to help us all the way," she said.
After graduating the class, attendees could have an opportunity to volunteer at the department helping with everything from office tasks to directing traffic and assisting at downtown events.
Becoming a volunteer is not mandatory, however, because the main purpose of the academy is to give people a better understanding of the police department.
"For the average citizen, it teaches you it's not like CSI or just officers riding around in the car," Mary said. "For business people, it gives you a one-on-one forum to talk to officers."
Jim added, "If I was a business owner, I'd want to know the police officers in the community."
The class will be held every Tuesday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. March 20 to April 24. Those interested must pick up an application and turn it in to Kristy Holcombe in the records office at the Waynesville Police Department no later than March 13. A background check is required and the class is limited to 25 people.

Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women Report Cover
The following three pages in the Canadian Panel's report speaks of "ritual abuse". However, reading the voices of the women, they speak of being tortured as children as well as later in life. There has been a failure in Canada to recognize and name such torture as a specific and distinct crime and a form of non-state torture (NST) victimization, therefore, NST has remainded invisibilized by being misnamed as a lesser crime such as abuse or assault. As for the use of the word "ritual", rituals performed for the violent oppression and control of others is a global phenomena, consequently, not unique as a construct of criminal activity of Canadian and/or global perpetrators.
Kelly Watt, Patricia Freeman Marshall, Jeanne Sarson & Linda MacDonald, Toronto, 2006. Ms. Marshall was Co-Chair of the Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women, 1993. We met with her to discuss non-state torture and her work on the Canadian Panel.

central air wont kick in?
We have a 2story home with seperate furnace/cental air unit for each level. This works out great for keeping upstairs cool except recently I have had an intermittent problem where the upstairs a/c unit wont kick in. The thermostat is set at 78 but its 85 degrees upstairs. The furnace blower is running but no cool air. I took the programmable thermostat off the wall and snapped it back in place. The a/c kicked in and the upstairs cooled off nicely. the next day same problem. corected with disconnecting thermostat and putting back in place. This solved the problem but it happened again the next day. So I bought a new honeywell programmable thermostat. It worked great for 4 days! Tonight I came upstairs to 85 degrees. The blower running but just warm air coming through ductwork a/c condenser not on. What is the problem? PLEASE HELP.
It's probably low on freon, but it could be other issues. It is best to call a HVAC service tech. The low on freon thought would be it runs for a while then high/low pressure switch turns of the compressor. After it cools down for a while it will run again for a short time. Also, it could be freezing up do to low freon or air restriction (dirty filters or condenser (outside unit). Or like I stated a lot of other things. Check the filters and condenser...then call a service tech.
Im not sure if it would be low on freon because after i turn off/on the thermostat it cools the upstairs pretty quickly.
Is there a sensor or a pressure switch that may be bad? when the thermostat calls for cool where does the signal go?
I am not ready to calla sservice tech yet as it's 100 degrees and they are busy and expensive this time of year..this is an intermittent problem that has me annoyed more than anything
As mentioned above it could be low on freon, take a look at the copper lines if they are freezing that's good indicator (also could be a plugged coil too). You say it's intermittent, when it's working go outside to the condensing unit and see if the compressor is running for a while, when the fan inside is on. If it's running for a while and the air is cool chances are the freon is not low. If you're low on freon the compressor will cycle a lot. If you have a set of gauges check the freon, they sell a cheap, tire pressure gauge looking one at Walmart, I don't know how good they are.
Assuming that the freon is OK, and you seem to think it is, I would guess it's electrical. First make sure you have the wires on the correct terminals and that there are no loose connections. Try turning on the unit and jiggling the wires on the thermostat to see if there's a break. Thermostat wiring is usually thin solid wire that breaks easily if bent a few times or nicked when stripping. These breaks can happen inside the insulation and can't be seen. If you have some slack in the wire, pull it out and strip the wire back further and look for breaks. It may have been that the first thermostat was bad and that the wire broke from bending it when putting in the new one.
Don't do the following (there's live 220 Volt electric) unless you know what you are doing, you could cause damage to yourself or the unit:
You can jump the thermostat wiring in the condenser unit to see if it's working and if it's the wiring from the house to the unit.

In her Pacific Palisades home, not far from where she learned to surf, the real Gidget grows nostalgic. In her hands is a diary from 1956, when the only thing that mattered was the size of the waves.
Learning to surf: "I often wandered to the pier at Malibu and watched the boys surfing there. I decided I must have my own board, so I bought one from Mike Doyle for $35. I went out with the fellows every day and I taught myself how to surf. It was very physical, very demanding, but I felt a high every time. Then I'd come home at night and write about it."
That name: "All the fellows had nicknames in Malibu: Moondoggie, Golden Boy, Beetle, the Jaw. One day one of the guys called me 'Gidget.' He said I was a girl and a midget. [She's 5 feet, 1 inch tall.] The name stuck."
Novel idea: "My father was a screenwriter, and a good listener, too. I had grown so fascinated with this culture at Malibu Point that one day I told him I wanted to write a story about it. He suggested I tell him the details and he'd write it. And he did―in six short weeks. My father was Czechoslovakian, and I still think it's amazing that he so aptly captured a piece of American culture."
Gidget fame: "After the book came out, and then the movie and TV show, everything changed in Malibu. It became such a popular spot. As uncomfortable as the attention made me feel, now I embrace it, simply because the book [recently re-released] and its story keep my father alive for me."
Grown-up Gidget: "I surfed at Waikiki on my 60th birthday, but I don't ride the waves much anymore. I spend most of my time up at Duke's Malibu, a restaurant with a surfer theme. I'm a hostess there, and I love every minute of it. It keeps me talking about this wonderful adventure."

Meet One Student Who Challenged His Middle School To Raise A Million Grains Of Rice on Freerice
What are your goals for solving hunger in 2013? Meet Kaasinath. He's a sixth grader in the United States who challenged his classmates to join Freerice and raise one million grains of rice for the hungry by the end of 2012. With smarts and determination, he met that goal - and now he's aiming even higher for the future. Here's his advice for students like him raising awareness about hunger for the first time. Read on for some inspiration to kick start your year of solving hunger.
1) How did you become interested in solving hunger?
Up until 4th grade I was a very picky eater and ended up rejecting half of my meals because they "didn't fit my standards". But, when I went to India that very same year and saw all of the hungry kids, babies, and adults begging for food on the streets, I realized how lucky I was to be having all of the healthy and homemade food on my plate. That's what inspired me to not be picky and to help the needy in my own way.
2) How did you get your classmates involved?
I told my principal about the Freerice website and then I made speeches to my school for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, convincing them to join Freerice and play in my group, Kaasineary. Finally, I challenged my school, my family -- and myself -- to donate one million grains of rice through my group before 2013. Thanks to my wonderful school and family, we achieved that goal. And now, I've set a new challenge: to get 5 million grains of rice by the end of 2013.
3) What advice would you share with students like you trying to inspire their peers to care about hunger?
You can't fight hunger alone, so you should also try to get your peers from school to help you fight hunger through Freerice. Also, you should try to take the time to learn about hunger by visiting your food pantry and surfing the internet.
4) What do you like about playing Freerice?
I like that the levels get more challenging as you go and that there are always new questions being added. I also like that you donate rice to hungry people while getting smarter. Another thing I like is that you can sit in your house and do it, instead of bugging your parents to drive you around to ask for donations.
5) How did Freerice help you succeed in your efforts?
It helped me prepare for my Geography Bee and for pre-algebra math skills I'll need in middle school. It also helped me help feed hungry people around the world.
6) What are your goals for raising awareness about hunger in the future?
I am hoping to get at least 100 out of the 530 people in my school into my group (Kaasineary) on Freerice to help donate 5 million grains of rice to WFP by the end of the year.
7) Why do you think young people are important in the fight against hunger?
I think the younger generation is important in the fight against hunger because if you convince them to fight for world hunger now they will fight for hunger world hunger when they grow up -- and then they will tell their kids to fight for world hunger as well.

B&W Matrix 803, 804, or 805 Tweeters HELP
I am hoping that someone can help me with a problem. I have a set of B&W 803 matrix speakers. I just recently moved into a new home and one of the tweeters was lost in the move. I contacted the north american distributor and they told me that the tweeters are no longer available. I am really in a bind with this! I love the speakers and am a little upset with B&W! They say on there web site that spare parts are available for 15 years after a speaker is discontinued. The only thing I can get for it is a rebuild kit. If anyone has a spare blown or working please let me know and I will purchase it from you.

text: Semifinals: The first round didn't have a bad match, and now the first semi final is Melissa vs MsChif? Perfect! Melissa & MsChif's rivalry in 2006 spread across SHIMMER, Chick Fight & ROH, and for my money was the feud of the year just for the innovation, brutality and believability of their work with each other. They've fought in many different variations of matches and stipulations, including Falls Count Anywhere and Last Woman Standing, and none of them have disappointed in the slightest. This match was far from their most brutal encounter, but they didn't come close to phoning it in.
