Arts & Culture
Television shows are reruns. Most of the college population fled Bloomington for the summer. The Comedy Attic isn't having open mic nights every Wednesday. But Bloomington's downtown comedy club has found a way to provide entertainment, laughter and good popcorn.
Formerly the Funny Bone, located on Fourth and Walnut Streets, the Comedy Attic this summer features the 2nd Annual Bloomington Comedy Festival every Wednesday night from June 2 through July 28.
"There's good popcorn," Tom Brady, the 2009 Comedy Festival winner, says. "It's not much different from the rest of the year, but I think they add a little bit of extra salt. I could be wrong, but it's good popcorn. And they give you a little extra soda. It's a good combo."
Just outside the door of the Wandering Turtle Art Gallery & Gifts sits a table with refreshments and a smiling young woman to make sure patrons get what they need. Mellow, groovy, jazzlike music greets customers as they walk through the door. Their eyes instantly flood with colorful paintings, pottery, jewelry and more.
Outside, limited parking, crowded sidewalks and people of all ages are signs it's First Friday again in downtown Bloomington.
First Friday is a version of GalleryWalk, which started around 2002, according to Miah Michaelsen, the city of Bloomington's assistant economic and sustainable development director for the arts, when nine downtown galleries came together to coordinate events and exhibit openings to help each other out.
"I think it's a great example of what appear to be competing businesses coming together and promoting each other," Michaelsen says.
Use as many low-energy lightbulbs as you like, turn down the thermostat and drive a hybrid car, but whatever you do as an individual -- indeed, the sum of what we all do for the environment --does almost nothing to alleviate the U.S. military's destruction of the earth.
In The Green Zone: The Environmental Costs of Militarism, Barry Sanders writes that like other capitalist institutions, "each military branch ... must grow larger and fatter each year; expansion is the life blood of imperialism." Further, Sanders asserts, "The military can brook limits of no kind whatsoever. ... The Pentagon conducts its business behind very thick and very closed doors. It writes its own rules and either follows them or violates them, depending on the situation."
Almost all "military numbers remain off of official reports, secret and out of sight." Sanders obtained the information he cites in the book by gleaning what he could from "arcane reports" and obscure Web sites belonging to the Department of Defense and Government Accounting Office, plus books and articles.
Joanne Shank doesn't remember the moment she realized that she wanted to create environmentally conscious art. A life-long lover of both nature and art, she can't imagine one without the other.
"I've always just enjoyed looking at nature as my resource for expression and inspiration," she says. "I've always enjoyed art, and I've always enjoyed nature, so I don't think there's a beginning point to either of those things in my life."
Shank is one of a number of Bloomington artists who have decided to work in environmentally sustainable ways. Whether artists choose to use recycled or organic materials or to create pieces that focus on environmental issues, the recent surge in interest in the green movement is a natural fit within the local arts community.
We live in an age of attacks on human and civil rights -- for instance, jailing people indefinitely without charging them with a crime and combating protestors violently, such as at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh a few months ago. People who dissent or engage in left-wing activism are right to worry about being charged with a crime despite not doing anything the Constitution doesn't allow.
To prepare activists for visits by federal law-enforcement agents, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) has republished If an Agent Knocks, a 47-page booklet that it's distributing to the public free of charge. Originally published in 1989, the booklet was revised and updated this past September.
CCR describes its mission as follows. "The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration for Human Rights. Founded in 1966 by attorneys who represented civil rights movements in the South, CCR is a non-profit legal and educational organization [and public interest law firm] committed to the creative use of law as a positive force for social change."
Editor's note: The following guest column was submitted by Ashley Fisher from the Bloomington Area Arts Council in response to criticisms leveled by local artists in The Bloomington Alternative and other local media.
Fallout from the past
The new (Bloomington Area Arts Council) Board's 10-month story starts with the realization at the beginning of 2009 that the organization was failing -- again. Sensing this, both Ashley Fisher and Rob Hanrahan, who had recently joined the BAAC -- Fisher as a new Board member in October 2008 and Hanrahan November 2008 as a fundraising consultant -- took up the challenge as President of the Board of Trustees and Executive Director respectively in March 2009 to address the long-term sustainability of the arts council, despite its weakened state at that time. Both believed that the organization could be transformed -- and still do.
Editor's note:A group of area artists have banded together to resist management changes and fee increases at the John Waldron Arts Center. On Nov. 23, they sent the following letter to Bloomington Area Arts Council Board President Ashley Fisher and Executive Director Rob Hanrahan.
Dear Ashley and Rob,
We the undersigned represent 21 performing arts organizations in Bloomington who have come together to form the Bloomington Performing Arts Coalition (B-PAC). The primary concern of our organization is the recent increase in the rental rates and fees of the Waldron Arts Center, a building donated to the BAAC by the City of Bloomington for use as a "community arts center."
Small Box, a new opera set in a death row visiting room, will have its world premiere in Bloomington next month. The opera will be performed for one night only on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.
With music by Herman Whitfield III and a libretto by Bruce L. Pearson, the one-act, hour-long opera takes a serious look at the death penalty without arguing either for or against.
"The opera," Pearson said in a phone interview, "offers a fairly typical cross-section of those who find their way to death row." With Small Box he hopes to "make people think by presenting a realistic view of prison life." The raw material, Pearson said, "is from getting to know the guys on the row."
Music and culture critic Jessica Hopper -- consultant for the revered public radio show, This American Life and whose work is regularly featured in publications such as SPIN and LA Weekly -- indulged a diverse Boxcar Books audience on Aug. 28 with readings from her new book The Girls' Guide to Rocking.
A meaty manual on creating, recording and performing music, The Girls' Guide to Rocking is garnering across-the-board praise for its painstaking nuts-and-bolts approach to music and for its expediency to anyone -- not just the adolescent girls it targets -- interested in making it.
Though written in direct, accessible language, the book is impressive in its breadth and scope, and Hopper, a musician herself since age 15, explained that in writing it she drew from her own experiences. "I wrote this book on how to start a band and play and pursue your own interest in music, and a lot of it is culled from my own experiences from being a teenager in a band and growing up as a girl in a band."
The most insightful observation I've ever heard about the artist's life came from Alice Weaver, the legendary creator/proprietor of the Ferguson House in Nashville and one of the great characters I've known. The catalyst for her proclamation was my wife Judy's reaction to tourists viewing her artwork.
Among many other talents, Judy was an abstract painter. And in the fall of 1977, we opened a shop called Creations in Alice's Antique Alley, where we sold Judy's paintings, weavings and assorted creations, my photographs, our hand-made Colombian imports and a variety of other arts and crafts. Our next-door neighbor was The Paint Box, where saw blades painted with rural scenes sold all day long, day after day after day. The common refrain heard outside our adjoining doors: "Oh hon, look'it the saws!" Inside our shop: "Anybody could do that."
Nashville tourists were a little more accepting of photography as art in the late 1970s, but only marginally so. And despite our grasp of the culture we were involved with, reality was difficult to accept, even if we did get our share of positive reinforcement. Alice swept our bruised egos aside with a wave of her hand. "It doesn't matter whether people love or hate your work," she advised. "It's when they respond to it like it was skimmed milk that you're in trouble."

With the grand sweep and scale of a Bollywood movie, Shantaram is unlike any other Australian novel for quite some time. It recounts the experiences of Lin, a loosely fictionalised character based on the author, the so-called Building Society Bandit who escaped from a Victorian maximum-security prison in 1980 and fled to India. Lin moves in different circles in steamy Bombay, from indolent expats on the run from reality to ever-smiling slum dwellers who cannot escape from their plight. His adventures take him to the homes of Bombay Mafioso, through the hellhole of the Colaba police station and into Afghanistan running guns to the mujaheddin. Although at times Roberts' text is over- written and his dialogue stilted, this is a rip-roaring read. At 933 pages the book stands out, but it is all the more remarkable because it is based on second-to-none, first-hand experience. Full of jailhouse philosophy, human frailty and resilience, Sufi wisdom and street-fighting tactics, Shantaram is by turns inspiring, hair raising and poignant. This warts-and-all Indian epic details the myriad struggles, triumphs, heartbreaks and joys of life on the subcontinent-- expect it to become a must-read for backpackers and long-haul airline passengers, as was The Beach. William Gourlay is a Melbourne-based editor, reviewer and sometime travel writer. C. 2003 Thorpe-Bowker and contributors

Possibly the best biography i have ever read. Gripping, exciting, emotive and inspirational every single page. 5 stars.
Customer review on 07/03/2016
The best review for this book stated (I'm not verbatim), "It's the only book I've read that makes you want to live in an Indian slum." I couldn't say it any better. It's a wonderful book, although I did skip a bit through the philosophical discussions on religion. It's one of the better books where you were there living it.
Customer review on 07/07/2013
An excellent book, with great language use and a very captivating journey.
Customer review on 11/06/2011
Despite its flaws, of being long and perhaps a little self-aggrandising, this is a gripping and sometimes hilarious story full of memorable characters - especially Prabaker. It is full on and in parts I found it disturbing or depressing, and I don't feel like we know who the main character is, he turns up in India a full fledged warrior/criminal without much backstory. Nonetheless it is such a vivid and fascinating book that I would recommend it.
Customer review on 14/09/2010

I didn't enjoy this story. As far as autobiographies go, I found it somewhat unbelievable and I think the author did alot of embellishing. I had to push myself to finish it.

Does anyone know the best way to distribute my new patterns? I know quilters will love to sew them. I think going to every quilt shop will take years!!!
Thanks for your suggestions.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does anyone know the best way to distribute my new patterns? I know quilters will love to sew them. I think going to every quilt shop will take years!!!
Thanks for your suggestions.
Another option is to give a few away for free to pattern testers who would be willing to blog about your pattern.
Thanks for your suggestions. Actually, a few quilt shops have bought some of my patterns. The problem is that other quilters, nationally, don't know about them. One quilt shop asked me if I was going to "market". I don't know anything about how that works-I'm sure you'd have to be a shop owner??
No, but I am going to see about starting one.
Thanks again!
Some of designers also offer a few lesser patterns, for free. For instance, a pot holder pattern may be offered, to get folks interested in the designer's quilt patterns.
If you want national exposure, contact some of the quilt magazines to see if you can place an ad. I've seen many such ads in some of the magazines (usually in the back section). Get to know other quilt stores within a decent driving distance and not only offer you patterns to them but also offer to teach a class (if you're comfortable teaching) and/or make a deal if they'll teach your class just so you can get exposure.
Get a copy of Nancy Restuccia's book, Publish Your Patterns! How to Write, Print, and Market Your Designs. Memorize it.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
Ditto ghostrider.
You need to get carried by a distributor (such as Checker) in order for quilt shops to find your patterns.
BTW, I've self-published a few of my own patterns, but they were sold only by the LQS where I work. I never seemed to have the time to pursue going "big time".

Chelsea managers need thick skins. In the eyes of many Blues fans, Rafa Benitez just looks thick. Of course, he isn't but there are plenty ready to call him that and much worse these days.
Those willing to chastise the Spaniard over the failings in his tempestuous stewardship at Stamford Bridge have plenty of ammunition but to conclude he is simply incompetent would be wrong.
Benitez has forgotten more about tactics than most of us will ever know during a career that includes two La Liga titles and a UEFA Cup win with Valencia and Champions League and FA Cup success with Liverpool.
His record has been unfairly ridiculed and it is well within the 52-year-old's scope to build another successful team somewhere but he consistently makes himself an easy target in a job that appeared impossible from the outset.
Nobody is benefiting from his present arrangement at Chelsea. The club's season is gradually unravelling as each trophy opportunity disappears from view. A place in the top four remains achievable but recent collapses at Newcastle and Reading are alarming adverts for their vulnerability.
FA Cup and Europa League success remains possible but improbable. Benitez is not solely at fault. Far from it.
Chelsea's squad are crying out for the kind of transitional period that can only be marshalled by a manager with long-term security. Each manager since Jose Mourinho has been unable to plan for the future because they are too busy peering nervously over their shoulder listening out for the voices of dissent to drown out his authority. Only Ryan Bertrand has emerged from the club's academy into the first team.
Such is the level of interference from owner Roman Abramovich and his cabal of advisers, no Chelsea manager has the requisite level of control. Short-termism prevails.
The malaise pre-dates Benitez and he should be commended for not using the situation as an excuse (although he must have known what he was walking into when taking charge) but he exhibits a myopia over his team's performances that is subtracting from what little credibility he has.
After last weekend's 3-2 defeat by Newcastle, Benitez intimated his team's poor defending was down to a lack of experience. That would be the defence that contains Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry, Gary Cahill and Ashley Cole in front of Petr Cech.
On the eve of their FA Cup fourth-round match against Brentford, Benitez claimed he was doing "a good job" as interim manager (a title that, of course, immediately undermined his authority in the eyes of a notoriously powerful dressing room).
To compound his misguided assertion, Brentford then went on to outplay Chelsea and ended with a draw that was the minimum they deserved. The misdirection continued afterwards.
Okay, Juan Mata came on at half-time but why wait until the final stages before introducing another striker — in this case Demba Ba — to salvage the situation? "Because the team were doing well," came the reply. What? Really? In the game where a League One team were outmanoeuvring the champions of Europe?
His failure to affect the game positively with substitutions suggests he genuinely believes what he is saying.
The Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Swansea was another case in point. You are 2-0 down on aggregate. What do you do? Continue to play one striker and switch the left-backs. Of course! That'll confuse them.
Managers often defend their players regardless of performance. Arsene Wenger's assertion Arsenal's experienced defenders were nervous "because they want to do well" provoked ridicule but Benitez's reservoir of self-confidence has precluded him from admitting weaknesses from day one, many not of his own doing, that would have elicited sympathy and bought him valuable time.
He should have apologised for comments he made about Chelsea fans when Liverpool manager — even if he did not mean it.
The majority of reasonably-minded supporters would accept things are said in the heat of intense rivalries but instead Benitez let the situation fester and now every mistake is seized upon with vitriolic glee.
It did not have to be this way. He could say, for example, Frank Lampard deserves a new deal. Everybody with a passing knowledge of the club's internal structure knows Benitez has no say in the final decision. Lampard is a popular figure and Benitez's backing would win a few brownie points with the fans.
Instead, he trots out the usual "we're just focused on the next game" guff that infuriates so many.
From his unveiling press conference, Benitez exuded an arrogance he believed would help him prevail but it only set him up for a fall. There was a failure to recognise the nuances of the task at hand.
Chelsea should still be basking in the finest success in their history, having invested £80million to try to successfully defend the Champions League trophy they won so dramatically last May.
That seems a lifetime ago.
We must raise game against the perils of corruption
ENGLISH football has so far emerged unscathed from corruption investigations but the Football Association and Premier League must guard against any complacency in believing it has automatic immunity.
Match fixing must be fought proactively and not retrospectively. The FA have a system to monitor betting patterns on all domestic football but need to work closely with Europol — the EU's criminal investigation body — and Interpol, who are funded by FIFA, to protect the integrity of our game.
Although there are strongs links with match fixing and organised crime, governments are reluctant to get involved in investigating the murky world. There is a natural instinct to believe English football's rich history will help insulate it from corruption but the terrifying extent of crimes perpetrated throughout Europe highlights the evil that could be as close as on our doorstep.
One report suggests cases of fixing, either suspected or proven, have been found in 48 out of 53 UEFA member countries.
Strong bookmaker regulations already exist in the UK but there is no harm in tightening the system still further.
The Premier League have asked the European Union for a bookmaker levy to be introduced to help regulation and raise revenue to combat corruption. It would be a good move.
Gazza's last chance
HOPEFULLY, Paul Gascoigne can finally sort his life out because this feels like his last chance.
The 45-year-old looked dishevelled and lost as he boarded a plane to the United States, where he will undergo £6,000-a-week rehab at a centre in Arizona, after the latest setback in his addiction to alcohol.
Celebrity friends including Chris Evans and Gary Lineker stumped up the cash to get him there but the only person who can help an addict reform is the addict themselves.
Let's hope this once great footballer finally realises that.

Can the energy industry top a year when almost everything went in its favor? In 2004, oil and natural gas prices neared or hit record highs, and refiners, running almost flat out to meet demand, posted lush profits. But market forecasters anticipate softer oil prices and flat gas prices this year, thanks to slowing economic growth, increased capacity, and more conservation efforts by manufacturers and consumers.
As in so many other sectors last year, China emerged as a powerful force in global energy markets. Surprisingly strong Chinese demand helped boost worldwide oil demand by 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd) -- or 3.1% -- to 82.6 million bpd, says James Burkhard, director of global oil market research at Cambridge Energy Research Associates Inc. That was the biggest volume gain since 1978 and more than twice the average annual growth over the past six years. Any fall in world energy prices in 2005 will therefore depend in part on Beijing's effort to cool down the economy. The International Energy Agency predicts that global demand this year will grow by a slower 1.7%, or by 1.4 million bpd.
Fears of supply disruptions should ease later this year. With both OPEC and non-OPEC producers adding capacity, Burkhard predicts that the cushion of spare capacity could grow to a comfortable 3 million bpd by the end of 2005, closer to its level over the past decade. In late 2004 there was just 1 million to 1.2 million bpd of excess capacity, leaving little margin for error, and contributing to the geopolitical jitters that kept oil futures jumpy all year.
In fact, with prices already $10 a barrel from their peak and supplies plentiful, OPEC is now moving toward cutting production. It wants to avoid a glut that might cause the price of oil to crash, as it did in 1998, when it briefly touched $10 a barrel. Benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude will average $37.67 a barrel in 2005, vs. $40.89 last year, according to Thomson First Call (TOC ) consensus estimates. Of course, that assumes there's no sudden collapse in demand caused, for example, by a recession. "OPEC can manage supply. It can't manage demand," says Burkhard. A shortage of critical infrastructure, from refineries to pipelines, should also help to keep crude prices from collapsing.
The risk that prices will rise -- and be volatile -- is greater for natural gas. North American production can't match demand growth. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts natural gas demand will grow by 3.7% in 2005, especially due to rising demand for gas-fired electricity generation. Yet domestic gas output will grow by only 1.9%. That gap makes for rising prices. Craig Pennington, global energy group director at Schroders, expects U.S. natural gas prices to climb to an average of $6.45 per thousand cubic feet in 2005, from $6 last year.
It would help if the U.S. could import more liquefied natural gas from overseas. Yet boosting the flow of imported LNG, which now accounts for 4% of U.S. supply, is hard because there are too few of the specialized port terminals needed to offload LNG. Dozens have been proposed, but many face community opposition. Given the long lead times to permit and build the plants, LNG imports won't have a major impact until at least 2008.
The demand for electric power is also outpacing the growth of supply. Energy researcher Platts, which like BusinessWeek is a unit of The McGraw-Hill Cos. (MHP ), predicts that U.S. power demand will grow at a 2.3% pace through 2008. But total U.S. generating capacity will expand by just 1.6%, or 15 gigawatts, in the new year. Total earnings for the 27 largest electric utilities will rise by 15% in 2005, to $20.9 billion, predicts Reuters Estimates (RTRSY ). Meanwhile, the grid has seen only limited physical upgrades since the August 2003 Northeast blackout. The officials that manage power flow over the grid have altered their rules to prevent a repeat of the events that triggered the failure.
In the oil patch, last year's earnings gusher is clearly over. Thirteen major oil companies in 2004 posted a "spectacular" 46% surge in profits, to $96 billion, figures analyst Frederick P. Leuffer of Bear, Stearns & Co. (BSC ) Based on his below-consensus average forecast of $25 per barrel for WTI and some easing of refining margins, he projects a 40% earnings drop for the year. Looking at a broader group, Thomson First Call predicts that profits for the 27 energy companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index will fall 5% this year, after a 47% climb in 2004.
Cautious oil and gas companies are planning modest increases in exploration and production (E&P) expenditures. Some of that increase will simply cover higher costs, as steel, oil field services, and other expenses continue to rise. According to a recent Lehman Brothers Inc. (LEH ) survey of 327 oil and gas companies, worldwide E&P expenditures will rise 5.7%, to $176.8 billion, in 2005. That compares with a 12.4% boost in 2004.
For now, at least, the main expansions planned in the U.S. are by smaller independents. Tiny Fort Worth-based Cano Petroleum Inc. (CAOP.OB ), which is squeezing more oil out of mature U.S. fields, is planning to boost its acquisition and development budget by at least 300% to over $20 million, says CEO Jeff Johnson. But supermajors like Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM ) will go on returning cash to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends. That's partly because they lack access to the best new drilling sites worldwide, such as Russia and the Mideast, says Matthew R. Simmons, CEO of energy-focused investment bank Simmons & Co. International.
Some U.S. producers are hoping Congress will pass the proposed energy bill that has been stalled on Capitol Hill for three years. Their wish list includes opening up more drilling prospects at home, including in federal lands in Alaska and the Rockies. Environmentalists are sure to resist, and even supporters acknowledge the plan would do little to improve the domestic supply picture. The greens may find solace if the White House balances a renewed push for more oil and gas subsidies with fresh incentives for renewable energy. No matter what, the chances for a single omnibus energy bill are slim. But even without Washington's help, the energy industry is counting on another bright year.

Will Walmart.Com Get It Right This Time?
When Walmart.com warned visitors in late September that the online store would close several weeks for remodeling, some Web watchers scratched their heads. Other e-tailers managed to run their old sites while preparing new ones--why not Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT)? The huge discounter seemed to be handing its online rivals a golden opportunity. The latest Walmart.com incarnation will be launched before the peak of the Christmas shopping season without a splashy TV ad campaign, and shoppers won't find such bells and whistles as personalized promotions or 3-D graphics. Amazon.com (AMZN) "couldn't have scripted a better story for the holiday season," says analyst Emme P. Kozloff of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. "The evil Wal-Mart grinch will not steal Christmas at all."
After more than four years of false starts, is Wal-Mart losing its zeal for the Web? Such a shift might be understandable, since e-tailers seem to be falling by the wayside while Wal-Mart's real-world stores keep chugging along with double-digit sales and earnings growth. But rivals who mistake Wal-Mart's slow and steady approach for a lack of commitment will be sorely disappointed, insists Walmart.com CEO Jeanne P. Jackson. She dismisses any suggestion of cold feet at Wal-Mart's Bentonville (Ark.) headquarters. In a refrain that's often repeated at her own Menlo Park (Calif.) offices, Jackson says: "This is a marathon. It's not a sprint."
That's not to say that Jackson, the former CEO of Gap Inc.'s (GPS) Banana Republic unit and head of Gap's online efforts, hasn't been doing plenty of sprinting since arriving at Walmart.com in April. The now separate company, formed by Wal-Mart and venture-capital firm Accel Partners, is scrambling to assemble a retail- and tech-savvy management team while building a reliable technology platform based on assets acquired from the now-defunct HomeWareHouse.com. Taking the site down for several weeks made it easier to overhaul the system's front and back ends and to transfer mounds of inventory data, Wal-Mart says. At the same time, Jackson is trying to blend the best of the $195 billion retail goliath with the 180-person online startup.
"NOT TERRIBLY SEXY." The failures of rivals ranging from cosmetics e-tailer Eve.com to name-your-price discounter WebHouse Club have certainly eased the pressure to deliver fast results. And the online efforts of big-store retailers like Sears Roebuck (S), Kmart (KM), and Target (TGT) are still in their infancy. Jackson nonetheless faces huge challenges. For starters, she must prove that Wal-Mart can serve up a reliable, easy-to-use Web site with flawless shipping and customer service. Last year, Wal-Mart, the king of store logistics, was forced to warn online customers that it couldn't guarantee Christmas delivery of goods ordered after Dec. 14. And an expanded site that debuted in February was widely panned for its cumbersome design, slow downloading time, and poor search engine. In September, it ranked 47th out of 50 retail sites based on the number of visitors measured by Media Metrix, part of Jupiter Media Metrix.
Will Wal-Mart get it right? A recent preview of the site showed a "very streamlined and intuitive layout" and a much-improved search function, says analyst Bill Dreher of Robertson Stephens. Walmart.com Creative Director Erik Hagerman says he took his cues from Wal-Mart's easy-to-use supercenters, with their wide aisles and plentiful signage. "This is not a terribly sexy home page," he says, "but it will load like lightning." Indeed, Wal-Mart CEO H. Lee Scott Jr. insists that the focus for now is on reliability: "We care about the numbers, but the primary concern this Christmas has got to be customer service and establishing a base that you can build on in the future."
If Wal-Mart stumbles again this holiday season, it will hardly be a financial disaster. After all, online sales are still a tiny part of the retail industry--2% in the fourth quarter, according to one estimate. Analysts say Walmart.com is investing about $100 million this year--compared with $8.5 billion that Wal-Mart plans to spend next year on store expansion. Still, says Jupiter analyst Ken Cassar, if Wal-Mart fails again, "they will have missed a substantial opportunity. The online-only retailers are by and large strapped for cash."
Indeed, Wal-Mart's staying power has suddenly become a big draw in the online world. James W. Breyer, managing partner at Accel Partners, which holds a 20% stake in Walmart.com, says he intends to build up the site's capabilities by purchasing other online outfits and has been getting a dozen calls a week from hopeful candidates. But to take advantage of this shifting landscape, Jackson must maintain the attention of executives back in Bentonville who are keenly focused on expanding Wal-Mart's bricks-and-mortar stronghold and fixing problems in its fledgling foreign-store operations. As a result, one major supplier claims, Jackson is "often getting compliance but not passion" from the staff back at the mother ship.
Jackson insists that's not the case and that she's getting plenty of devotion, especially at the top: "I don't think we've met anybody who's what I would call a blocker." Wal-Mart CEO Scott and Chairman S. Robson Walton sit on the four-person Walmart.com board. They attend monthly meetings and call or e-mail Jackson and Breyer, the other two directors, every few days. Jackson's team also meets regularly with lower-level executives, such as six district managers who help coordinate the transfer of "Wal-Mart DNA," she says.
That melding of "bricks and clicks" is now considered the best route to Web profitability. But it demands innovation and seamless execution. Walmart.com's first mistake last year was to try to mimic the stores, offering a jumble of product categories and selling items that simply weren't economical online. Back then, it couldn't promise last-minute deliveries. A leader in delivering truckloads of goods to its stores, Wal-Mart wasn't adept at handling individual packages. Adding to the problems, Wal-Mart and outside fulfillment vendor Fingerhut didn't properly integrate their information systems. Some customers were told that goods were in stock when they weren't, and vice versa.
New Chief Logistics Officer John Rittenhouse, formerly of LVMH (LVMHY) and Target, is in charge of making sure those nightmares aren't repeated. Walmart.com is still using outsiders for fulfillment--Fingerhut and newcomer Airborne Logistics Services. But in time, Walmart.com will take control with its own dedicated distribution centers. Rittenhouse contrasts that gradual ramp-up to Amazon.com Inc.'s expensive effort to build distribution capacity well in advance of demand. Amazon.com spokesman Bill Curry responds: "The proof of the pudding was last Christmas. More than 99% of our orders were delivered on time."
Jackson, meanwhile, is lopping items off Walmart.com's 600,000-product offering. She keeps a 25 cents plastic cup in her office--whose cost of two-day shipping was $8--as a reminder of what doesn't work. At the same time, she's looking for opportunities to extend Wal-Mart's reach in such categories as patio furniture and appliances--products that take up a lot of floor space in stores.
Because her online customers are seeking convenience as much as low prices, Jackson will also focus on creating new services. For instance, sometime next year, Walmart.com should be able to offer online listings of real-time inventories in individual stores. Customers could then decide whether to head to the store or buy it online. Also on her to-do list: a system for ordering virtually any car tire online, while allowing customers to schedule a store visit for installation. And Walmart.com has joined up with RealNetworks Inc., an Accel-backed company, to create a system for easily downloading music. That could be crucial to protecting Wal-Mart's huge in-store sales of music. "If we're not fiGoring out how to be part of the new way music is delivered to customers," Jackson says, "then I think we're going to be caught flat-footed, and that's something Wal-Mart never is."
Few rivals profess to be worried about Wal-Mart's moves on the Web. In fact, Mark H. Goldstein, CEO of Kmart-backed BlueLight.com, says he's rooting for Walmart.com: "It will convince people that big-box retail is how you should buy online." Goldstein, of course, is already a believer. But many others are waiting to see if Wal-Mart will be a winner in this marathon.

text: January 5, 2016 Leave a comment Imagine every Bluetooth gadget in your house on one network By Kelli Uhrich, Komando.com Image courtesy of CassiaNetworks.com Everyone is familiar with routers. They're those bulky devices that connect all of our devices to the Internet. But, what you might not know is that now there's a router designed specifically for your Bluetooth devices.Nearly everything is a smart gadget these days. We have smart scales, smart lightbulbs and even smart basketballs. What we don't have, however, is a way to easily connect them all. Until now. If you're tired of using numerous apps to control your numerous items, then you need to check out the Cassia Hub - a router for Bluetooth devices. The Cassia Hub was designed to eliminate the biggest problems of Bluetooth devices. First, the short range limitations that most of them have. And second, the fact that they can only be paired with one other device at a time. Manufacturers of the Cassia Hub claim the device extends your Bluetooth range from an average of 30 feet, to an average of around 1,000 feet. You can also pair up to 22 devices to the hub, and manage each of them through a single interface.It works by essentially acting as the "middle man" between you and your devices. Rather than sending signals directly to your smartphone or tablet through a Bluetooth connection, each device is paired with the Cassia Hub and sends signals to it directly. From there, the hub works directly with each device's control apps, but organizes them for you all in one place.There is one major downside to the Cassia Hub, and that is how it works for music streaming. Since you'll need to pair your Bluetooth speaker to the hub, you're limited to using the hub to manage your music content. Currently, the hub only supports SoundCloud, but the developers are working on making the device compatible with other streaming providers, like Spotify and Pandora.Although the Cassia Hub is still in its early phases of development, it is one of the first products out there to truly serve as a router for Bluetooth devices. The hub itself is not available yet, but can be preordered and will be released sometime in the first quarter of this year. The product was created by Cassia Networks, and has a price of $100.Watch this video to see how the Cassia Hub works: Please share this information with everyone.

This is kind of funny that this was sent out this evening, especially since I can't imagine anyone thought to get a permit before pumping water out of their flooded homes, but, via the Department of Environmental Protection…
To assist in the recovery from Hurricane Sandy, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection today announced that permitting requirements for businesses and homeowners seeking to discharge water from flooded properties into the City's sewer system are temporarily suspended. If water contains significant recoverable material, such as fuel oil floating on water that could cause significant further damage to the structure if not removed first or significant environmental damage, all reasonable measures should be taken to collect and properly dispose of the material prior to pumping out the structure. This action is authorized under the attached communication from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The suspension of permitting requirements remains in effect until November 6, 2012, and applies only to flood-related discharges where an expedited response is needed.
Where a significant spill has occurred, the owner or operator must report the spill to the New York State Spill Hotline (1-800-457-7362) and use environmental contractors to handle, treat and dispose of such substances properly prior to discharging to the City sewer system. Contractors who collect and dispose of released petroleum or hazardous substances must comply with all requirements for the handling, treatment and disposal of the collected materials.
Additional guidance on the above requirements can be found at the following weblinks:
- Spill Notification Requirements
- General Storm Response Information
- Guidance on Fuel Oil Clean Ups in Residences During Storms/Flooding
DEP encourages New Yorkers to exercise caution when coming in contact with floodwaters. In cleaning homes, business and properties that may have come into contact with contaminated water, New Yorkers should consult these tips from the Health Department for treatment and removal to prevent illness and further contamination:
What if the flood water contains sewage?
Take extra steps to protect your health if the flood water contains sewage. Sewage contains germs that may cause stomach or intestinal infections if swallowed. Contact with sewage may also cause infections in cuts, scrapes and eyes.
To prevent infection you should:
- Keep children, pets and people with compromised immune systems away until the area has been cleaned and disinfected.
- Throw away any food (including packaged food) that was touched by sewage water.
- Follow the steps listed below to protect against infection during cleanup.
Note: Unless otherwise notified, it is safe to drink tap water in an area with flooding. Sewage overflows usually do not affect water supplies in New York City.
How can I protect myself when cleaning up water containing sewage?
- Pre-rinse fabrics with cold water to help prevent staining.
- Launder with detergent. This will disinfect most items.
- Dry thoroughly.
- Dry clean items that cannot be laundered. This process will generally disinfect clothing.
- Throw out soaked leather shoes, as it may be very difficult to disinfect them.
- Speak to a professional trained in conservation methods about cleaning valuable papers and photographs.
How can sewage-contaminated rugs and carpeting be cleaned?
- Clean small contaminated areas with detergents and disinfectants.
- Dry thoroughly and quickly.
- Hire a professional to clean larger areas.
- Throw away soaked rug padding.

Work: A Story of Experience HTML version
XVI. Mustered In
CHRISTIE'S return was a very happy one, and could not well be otherwise with a
mother, sister, and lover to welcome her back. Her meeting with Letty was indescribably
tender, and the days that followed were pretty equally divided between her and her
brother, in nursing the one and loving the other. There was no cloud now in Christie's
sky, and all the world seemed in bloom. But even while she enjoyed every hour of life,
and begrudged the time given to sleep, she felt as if the dream was too beautiful to last,
and often said:
"Something will happen: such perfect happiness is not possible in this world."
"Then let us make the most of it," David would reply, wisely bent on getting his honey
while he could, and not borrowing trouble for the morrow.
So Christie turned a deaf ear to her "prophetic soul," and gave herself up to the blissful
holiday that had come at last. Even while March winds were howling outside, she
blissfully "poked in the dirt" with David in the green-house, put up the curly lock as often
as she liked, and told him she loved him a dozen times a day, not in words, but in silent
ways, that touched him to the heart, and made his future look so bright he hardly dared
believe in it.
A happier man it would have been difficult to find just then; all his burdens seemed to
have fallen off, and his spirits rose again with an elasticity which surprised even those
who knew him best. Christie often stopped to watch and wonder if the blithe young man
who went whistling and singing about the house, often stopping to kiss somebody, to
joke, or to exclaim with a beaming face like a child at a party: "Isn't every thing
beautiful?" could be the sober, steady David, who used to plod to and fro with his
shoulders a little bent, and the absent look in his eyes that told of thoughts above or
beyond the daily task.
It was good to see his mother rejoice over him with an exceeding great joy; it was better
still to see Letty's eyes follow him with unspeakable love and gratitude in their soft
depths; but it was best of all to see Christie marvel and exult over the discoveries she
made: for, though she had known David for a year, she had never seen the real man till
"Davy, you are a humbug," she said one day when they were making up a bridal order in
the greenhouse.
"I told you so, but you wouldn't believe it," he answered, using long stemmed rose-buds
with as prodigal a hand as if the wedding was to be his own.
"I thought I was going to marry a quiet, studious, steady-going man; and here I find
myself engaged to a romantic youth who flies about in the most undignified manner,
embraces people behind doors, sings opera airs,--very much out of tune by the way,--and
conducts himself more like an infatuated Claude Melnotte, than a respectable gentleman

Here's a fascinating hard-times economic story from Sara Satullo. In normal times, most people just buy new shoes when their shoes wear out. But in the Lesser Depression, more people are just getting their shoes repaired instead:
But since the economic crash, fellow cobbler Rick Tilton reports a boon in business at his Palmer Township shop, Rick's Shoe Repair.
And a new store, Lehigh Shoe and Leather Repair Shop, has popped up in Bethlehem at Fourth and Fillmore streets.
"Ever since then, it has just been crazy," Tilton, 50, said of business since the crash. "It is coming in faster than I can get it out. Everybody is holding on to their stuff now."
Tilton has occasionally even had to turn away business from his Nicholas Street shop, where he's been for 17 of his 31 years in shoe repair.

CHUBBUCK, Idaho - The SouthEastern Idaho Community Action Agency (SEICAA) in Pocatello celebrated a milestone Thursday: 25 homes built for low-to-moderate income families.
SEICAA executive director Deb Hemmert said this is a big deal for the homeowners, but there can be some misunderstandings about what SEICAA does for the homeowners.
"In our program, which is a little different from others, they are required to do some sweat equity," Hemmert said. "They just have to commit to 50 hours per adult in the household. And then we assign a dollar value to that and it is taken off their loan when they buy the home."
The sweat equity also helps keep costs down. For David Cote, who went through SEICAA for his home, he said it helped him and his wife to feel more confident about owning a home.
"Aside from the physical labor there are classes," Cote said. "Financial preparedness classes that help you know how to have a home and repair it if something does break."
Kyle Heusser is the construction manger for SEICAA. He said he's very proud of the homes he and his team build.
"A lot of efficient work that shows for itself," Heusser said. "You're getting maximum efficiency out of your whole house. Appliances, lights, all that is all Energy Star."
Each home is sold before it is built. Applicants use the SEICAA application (found here: www.seicaa.com) to apply for a loan through the lender of their choosing. Once the home is built the loan is closed and SEICAA offers a one year warranty.
The homeowners have a few floor plans to choose from, and while 50 hours are required, the adults can put in up to 250 hours each. Hemmert said in the past few years they have seen changes with home appraisals.
"A couple of years ago there were about $7-$8,000 less in their appraisal value," Hemmert said, "and now they're starting to come back up. So I'm hoping that's a good sign for the housing market in Pocatello and southeast Idaho."
SEICAA is already building another home next door to Cote's home on Scottsdale Drive. SEICAA owns several more lots in the area, and Hemmert said with other developers in the area, they hope to create a nice new neighborhood. Hemmert said they build homes similarly to avoid any stigma of financial struggle.

Scott Hocking, Ziggurat and FB21 (2007-2009)
With close to fifty photographs in the show and two video pieces, Detroit Revealed: Photography 2000-2010 at the Detroit Institute of Arts offers a satisfying body of work with Nancy Barr's expert curatorial hand in setting the aesthetic and thematic tone of the whole exhibition. The show is a cross-balance of Detroit insiders and outsiders photographing Detroit as a central subject, exploring life and death in a post-apocalyptic city.
The now-cliche idea of "ruin porn" has been mined exhaustively, both by local artists and those attracted by the quixotic failed promise of the Industrial Age, and Barr manages to cull specific examples and meanings in this exhibition with an eye for what has been done. Detroit's dystopia has become its cultural currency, grouped with other shrinking cities such as Lodz, Berlin, Manchester, and Ivanova, and Barr is sure to have been privy to an overload of images of this subject in her position as Curator of Photography at the DIA. Photography, able to capture every detail of detritus and the grainy character of reality, also has a contemporary quality that implies a chronographic reality appropriate to the subject matter. It is an apropos medium for the subject.
Scott Hocking has been photographing scenes of post-apocalyptic Detroit for over a decade. Hocking is a prominent, if not the most prominent, photographic documentarian of Detroit's urban collapse of his generation. A native of Detroit, Hocking is able to tease a poetry out of his diaristic body of work, developed with an intimate physical relationship with the city's ruins, over the last fourteen years. The ziggurat, Hocking's signature, serves as a focal point in many of his photographic projects, an indexical mark of his occupation of the abandoned sites he uses. Physically dragging and stacking materials such as discarded tires or concrete blocks original to the desolate buildings he inhabits, Hocking is able to demonstrate the slow quietness of the labor behind his photographs. The pyramids, evocative of ancient engineering feats, point to a characteristic heaviness and immensity of industrialism, as do the expansive winter skylines in uninhabited portraits of the Detroit landscape. You can almost feel the wind blowing.
A string of black and white photographs in standard format by Michelle Andonian stand out like gems of an experienced eye behind the camera. Also a Detroit resident, Andonian perhaps has had access through her work at the Henry Ford Museum to both empty and occupied factories. The images of bulky machinery and cavernous places shot in Andonian's slightly overexposed black-and-white style evoke images of the fin de siecle of the last century (think Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin). They are clearly contemporary though through Andonian's eye and composition, and is revealed by technical conventions such as wide angle capabilities, as well as by one piece that includes a woman dressed in contemporary garb working in the factory. These are the most skilled and finished photographs in the exhibition, not flashy but tight, well-composed and -scaled.
While Hocking reveals Detroit by relaying an intimacy with the long and lonely winter climate, Corine Vermeulen offers a verdant summer view of Detroit life by foot. Also a resident of Detroit, Vermeulen's body of work reflects a quotidian relationship with the city's inhabitants and landscape, often portraying children in urban prairies and on urban farms and gardens. Vermeulen captures the golden late light of hot Detroit summers, the leafy green plants of urban wildlife overtaking the mise en scene. A small Black boy with red hair and freckles stands against the verdant background; the vegetation and human presence are evidence of young life in an embattered post-industrial city being taken over by nature. Vermeulen's pieces in this exhibition come from a series Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow, elucidating the oxymoronic nostalgia for a future that has come.
If Vermeulen hints at the blooming of life, Carlos Diaz shows vibrant evidence of lives lived with passion. A series of large format color photographs brings us to the backyards of homes in Mexicantown, which are pristinely manicured and gardened. The most striking image is of a shrine layered up as tall as the house with gilt-framed pictures of passed loved ones, colorful ribbons, candles and other trinkets of offering. I feel privileged to be audience to the backyards of these people's homes, the intimacy Diaz offers is quite touching and provides access to a flourishing social circle in Detroit.
Andrew Moore is known for his large format photographs of deteriorating warehouses and structures. Detroit was an obvious draw for him, and indeed Rouge, Detroit (2008-2009) in the show was featured in a New York Times editorial about the attraction of distressed cities when it was exhibited at the Queens Museum in New York last year. The Moore pieces in this exhibition are dominated by his signature blur of water or steam across the photograph, heightening the ghostly abandoned effect against rusty I-beams and giant coils in the long-ago abandoned Ford Rouge Factory. As a Detroit outsider, Moore exposes his tour of Detroit through his series from which the pieces in the exhibition were taken. He visits the crumbling Michigan Theatre, the underground Theatre Bizarre, the defunct Bob-Lo Boat, the brick alleys and dilapidated homes of Detroit. Balancing Moore's hit-and-run ruin tourism with Hocking and Vermeulen's pieces that seem to happen so slowly in time because of their quotidian nature, Barr marries an outsider's perspective of Detroit's effigy with an insider's experience of the everyday.
Dawoud Bey, the photography and video portraitist of note, presents a portrait and an interview of a Black youth explaining his epiphany of realizing that his own behavior affects the way he is treated by others in return. A coming of age story that happens again and again, a new discovery with resounding truth for young adults and perhaps with peculiar strength for a young African-American male from Detroit. Ari Marcopoulos is also represented in this exhibition with a detournement video piece traversing through the streets of Detroit. His well-known touch for savage reality with tender intimacy is a theme in this show, and Barr has smartly included him in this showcase of Detroit.
Contemporary photography exhibitions seem to have trouble coalescing into a cohesive aesthetic and curatorial body. Detroit Revealed, though, hits a pitch and poetry that lives up to its title. Unlike Nancy Barr's recent juried show at the Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography, which ranged all over the place in quality, subject matter and format, Detroit Revealed is more telling of Barr's curatorial finesse. The threads of each artist's oeuvre investigating urbanity in post-industrial culture are put together here to intersect at their impressions of Detroit. The blustery desolation of factories is juxtaposed with intimate portraits of life in Detroit, hinting at the peculiar pockets of activity unseen by tourists. The tenderness and diverse perspective with which Detroit is showcased in this exhibition reveals Barr's excellence in curatorial vocabulary of the subject matter and those artists investigating this genre.

Date of Stay: June, 2013
This campsite was not worth the $42.00 overnight. The gravel roads were very narrow and overgrown with grass and weeds and had huge boulders right at a crucial turn. We had to return to the office because the first site would not accommodate our tow vehicle. The staff was not well informed about the length of sites and Motor Homes with tow vehicles. The lanes for the sites were not marked and we had to go around in order to locate the alternate site. A waste of half an hour. The grassy/gravel sites were very close. When we hooked up the water and electric, the sewer access was near the end of our tow vehicle a good 20 feet back. I would not recommend this park for the price charged and the annoying setup.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
We parked here for 2 days because it was close to the Custer Battlefield. The owners were friendly and made us feel very welcome. The owner lent us a CD for the Auto tour through the Battlefield. The sites were clean with lots of space between sites. Other parks would have jammed another site in-between. The grassy areas around each site were cut and watered. Our picnic table was clean and freshly painted and we had a swing for 2 as well. Lots of hot water with good pressure in the showers. The hookups were well maintained. Our cable and Wi-Fi worked great. We were also greeted by several friendly cats (some apparently left behind by travellers) and a little happy dog. This was a good, safe and friendly RV Park.

I am a fan of the "yes" products anyway, but this lip balm didn't disappoint. It smells good, and leaves the lips smooth and soft. I love that it has SPF added in!5

Date of Stay: January, 2010
This was our first experience at camping and we chose this site because we love Avila Beach! The site was nice, good ocean view, and clean. Unfortunately, as we understood from campers at the site, the "camp hosts" are relatively new. They seem to be on some sort if ego trip. When I called, I was given information by the male "camp host". I followed his directions perfectly. He came by our campsite and spooked one of our Golden Retriever's who, in turn, spooked him. The camp host bumped his head on our awning, as he turned around. Apparently his "ego" was ruffled, and he kicked us out, stating that we "did not follow the rules". We spoke to a few of the campers at the site; some were 3rd and 4th time visitors, and all had complaints about the new hosts, referring to them as being on some sort of "power trip". One couple said that the "host" came down on him pretty heavily only 10 minutes after he arrived and that he was going to make a complaint. I could not find any place to file a complaint, so I am posting here in hopes that I can save anyone else the trouble that we went through at this campsite. We went on down the road to another park, and they treated us like royalty! We will makeit our camp spot at the central coast from now on.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
We came by this campsite after a terrible experience at at site in Avila. The people at Pismo Coast Village are WONDERFUL! Our site was maybe 50 feet from the beach. The atmosphere at this campsite is awesome. The Employees at the site were so nice and helpful. We will be camping here for many years to come.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi all,
been forever since I used this forum as I unfortunately fell out of love with running and had been going through a rough patch in my life over the last 6-12 months. Thankfully things are on the up and thus I start a new job on Monday! I will be working 4 on 4 off 12 hour shifts 7am-7pm and then 7pm-7am.
So I am just starting to get my running back up and currently I am doing 2-3 miles 3 times a week and easing myself back in. I am thinking about how free these shifts will leave me to train. I'm thinking of doing some half marathons next year and from what I've seen in training plans it is easily doable. Some 5/6 mile runs midweek with something a little bit longer at the weekends, the same applies for me just adjusted to when I will actually be at work as I will work weekends too.
Basically does anyone have any advice, tips or tricks on how they managed their training when working such shift patterns and how they still continued to push themselves (as I eventually plan on moving into triathlon) and how they managed their nutrition and continued to (try) and eat healthy.
Thanks all in advance!
I almost fell out of love with running - it can happen
sorry friend that went all wrong
No problem!
Just an idea, would I maybe be better off focusing on 10k races, as when I start getting into tri I will need to be cycling and swimming too and will probably be focusing on sprint distance triathlons.
Svarcy, I worked 12 hour shifts for 23 years and trained for marathons, XC etc etc.
I did something like this (when mara training) - varied when outside mara training, but tried to stay consistent
Day 1 (7am - 7pm) run to and from work (5easy + 5easy) Day2 same as day 1 except (5easy +3 direct hilly route home)
Day3 (7pm - 7am) med run 12-13 with tempo or suchlike Day4 (go to bed 7am work 7pm-7am, so REST); Day 5 (to bed 7am up by lunch - groggy - so 6 or 7 easy)
Day 6 (after good night sleep) some kind of session, maybe mile reps; Day 7 easy run maybe 8 miles; Day 8 long run
Had family responsibilities also, so trained around them, but approx 70 miles in 8 day cycle. When shift allowed did club night pack run - 10-12 miles with faster runners, so (for me) nearly race pace .Tried to maintain healthy diet, but main problem on night shift was the lure of the choc machine. Tried taking in extra sarnies, fruit etc, but just ate that and still ate the choc.
Find a routine which works for you, and stick with it as far as you can. Certainly found it easier to train within the 8 day cycle, rather than try for the normal week.
Good luck, anyway especially when fitting 3 disciplines into your training cycle !
Svarcy, have you joined the Fire Brigade?!
At present I run every other day and that seems to keep injuries etc at bay and also gives me time for cycling or circuits. Here is what I do:
1 (first day shift) HILLS
3 (first night) TEMPO
Mileage will depend on what you are training for, any questions, ask!

New Zealand cricket coach Mike Hesson is urging his batsmen to have self-belief in their own games for the second test against India which begins in Bangalore today.
Down 1-0 in the two-match series after being hammered by an innings and 115 runs in the first test that wrapped up on Sunday, New Zealand's batsmen need to come to the fore if they want to compete with the Indians. During the lead up to the second test, Kiwi skipper Ross Taylor suggested his batsmen's woes were more mental than technical and Hesson said they all had the game to perform at the highest level.
"I think one of the key areas we've worked on is that players trust their game. Obviously we work on enhancing it and making it technically stronger but it's very, very important once we get in the middle that people trust that technique and have no doubt about it," Hesson said.
"We lost a number of wickets to indecision in the last match and that's certainly something we'll be looking to improve in this match."
First test totals of 159 and 164 with only one half century across both digs - courtesy of Kane Williamson's second innings 52 - were simply awful from New Zealand but Hesson denied his top order had become too comfortable with their places in the national side.
"There's certainly no comfort zone here. The players very much are their harshest critics and we were very disappointed with how things went in Hyderabad and they certainly spent the last week working extremely hard on their games to make improvements. It's certainly not through a lack of effort and as I said, they're their harshest critics."
Hesson also reiterated that despite the side's poor showing in the first test, Taylor was the man to lead New Zealand as captain.
"Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we've just had one test where we have worked together and as I said I thought Ross did a very good job in the last test and we are building that relationship and it's important for Ross that he keeps performing with the bat and he's well aware of that. He's fiercely determined to do that but he can also lead without performance, through his actions and he's certainly doing that this week."
With regards to the prospect of any team changes, Hesson said they would wait until they saw how the pitch looked on the morning of the game but there has been a case to see leg-spinner Tarun Nethula selected given how successful India's tweakers were in the first test.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin claimed career-best figures of 12-85 as he picked up six scalps in each innings, while left-arm twirler Pragyan Ojha snagged match figures of 6-92.
The test starts at 4pm today.
