The ACCC Report into the National Electricity Market (Oct 16, 2017) recognised "that price increases over the past 10 years are putting Australian businesses and consumers under unacceptable pressure". ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said...
"Residential electricity prices have increased by 63% on top of inflation since 2007-08."
So, while the politicians play the blame game and duck for cover over the energy crisis, how can Veneta Blinds help you reduce your energy costs?
Honeycomb Blinds are made with a unique cellular structured fabric that traps air within their cells to create layers of insulation (similar principle to double glazed windows).
Veneta Honeycomb Blinds will protect your home against heat loss in winter and unwanted solar heat gain in the hot summer months, creating a comfortable indoor living environment all year round and reducing reliance on heating and cooling appliances. This diagram shows how Honeycomb Blinds trap air within the cells, preventing unwanted warm or cool air.
Honeycomb Blinds will significantly reduce your annual home heating and cooling energy costs and lessen your carbon footprint by reducing your energy consumption. Honeycomb Blinds with a blockout fabric are the most energy efficient product in the Veneta range.
This diagram shows how Veneta's Honeycomb Blinds work to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. In the winter months, the blind keeps warm air in and cool air out and in the summer months blocks heat from entering the home and keeps cool are inside.
It is important to understand the appliances that keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter generally use the most electricity in your home or office (on average 40% of your total energy usage).
As well as appliances, heat transfer through windows and glass doors contribute to a high level of energy loss, severely reducing the effectiveness of heating and cooling your home or office. The impact on your comfort and costs can be considerable, for example:
The above statistics provided by the Australian Government Department of Environment and Energy, show why it is important to take appropriate measures to insulate your windows and glass doors to reduce rising energy costs. Choosing suitable window coverings that will help to protect your home all your round, can help you save up to 34% on your energy bills.
Upgrade your home and make a lasting impression on family and friends with the latest technology in Motorised Honeycomb Blinds. Motorised Honeycomb Blinds are excellent for rooms such as living rooms, media rooms, or those with windows in hard to reach locations. Motorised Honeycomb Blinds are simple to control by easily raising or lowering the blinds bottom rail and stopping it at any desired position.
Veneta Motorised Honeycomb Blinds are available in both battery operated (using 8 AA batteries) or 240 volt wall plug power supply, with an easy to use 15 channel remote, that can control up to 15 blinds at once or all individually.
The main advantage for all Honeycomb Blinds is their uniquely designed cellular structure that doesn't only look great but also makes the blind a super insulator. This means that the Honeycomb Blind traps air within its cells creating a barrier between inside and out, helping to regulate temperature all year round and most importantly help you to save on your energy bills. Motorised Honeycomb Blinds are also an excellent solution for those families with small children and pets. With no dangling cords, Motorised Honeycomb Blinds are a child safe window covering solution.
Motorised Honeycomb Blinds
Did you know? As much as 50% of your homes heating and cooling energy may be lost through your windows. Solar heat passes through windows in summer and indoor heating escapes through the windows in winter. Installing Veneta's Honeycomb blinds in your home will significantly cut your heating and cooling energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint.
Safety Tip! For all corded Honeycomb models please ensure the hold down brackets and child safety cleats are installed securely to make the blinds child safe.

We are so very happy with our honeycomb blinds. There was plenty of communication from Veneta and our blinds arrived on time. They are super easy to put up and look extra good. Insulation is great too. Thanks

Ordered and self installed 3 double honeycomb blinds with dimensions 126mm wide, 3100mm high. They look fantastic. Veneta website is so easy to use. I love the fact that you can obtain an immediate quote without having to talk to any sales person. Blinds were safely delivered within 14 days and securely packed. Only small issue I had was clicking the blinds into the brackets. This was mainly due to the 3100mm height and a fixed 300mm fixed pelmet. Was difficult to exert any force balancing on top of the ladder.

We purchased a variety of honeycomb blinds (double & single cell and with and without day-night). They were all very easy to order and simple to install. We're really pleased with the look of the blinds and the ease of operation. I had my doubts about the block-out portion of the blind dropping to the bottom of the sill during the day but they are very compact and this allows us to partially drop them to let in early morning light while keeping privacy.

The whole process was so easy. The customer service was also really helpful and helped us order the most appropriate honeycomb blinds for our room. It took less than 2 weeks from ordering to delivery and we are thrilled with the results. Great quality. Also really easy to install with simple instructions Thanks Veneta!

Best value, quality and customer service. The honeycomb blinds I ordered are very well made and perfectly sized. They arrived quickly, were a snack to install and cost substantially less than competitors. Great company. I'm ordering more!

I received my double honeycomb blind today & installed it immediately. It looks great. It was very easy to install & looks as good as the ones available locally which are at least double the price. The Veneta team kept me informed regarding delivery & the experience was totally stress free. I have more windows to cover so I will definitely be ordering more blinds or maybe curtains. Thanks so much team Veneta.

What a great process - ordering samples, instructions for measuring the windows and an online ordering system that was very easy to understand and use. The blinds were delivered in the promised time frame (very well packaged) and installation was easy with clear instructions provided. The blinds have effectively stopped the heat transfer through the windows, very happy with the quality and they look great! We're extremely happy with our purchase.

I ordered three motorised honeycomb blinds from Veneta. They arrived very quickly (at least 2 weeks earlier than expected) and look very smart. The installer found them easy to install and they work beautifully. I cannot recommend both the blinds and Veneta service highly enough.

I purchased honeycomb double cell blinds. The blinds arrived within 14 days as promised and I was not disappointed. The quality is brilliant and they fit perfectly. Easy to install with the instructions provided. I'm looking at purchasing more for other rooms in my house. Excellent customer service as well!

Amazing service! They didn't mind me asking a million questions before placing my order and it arrived so quick. It went up very easy and they've made such a difference in keeping out light and heat! Highly recommend the honeycomb blockouts.

I purchased 2 honeycomb blinds for the "sunny side" of my house. The blinds are excellent quality and definitely help with keeping the heat out in the summer. I really like the innovative design and configuration options to optimise the light. The blinds are easy to purchase and install, following the measurement instructions. They're also very light and easy to adjust. I'd recommend ordering samples up-front; this helped us decide on the colour and type. I would definitely recommend Veneta. They were great to deal with - plenty of communication during purchase process and on the web site (I used online chat to ask questions). They followed up with a phone call to confirm receipt and satisfaction. Very impressed, well done.

I recently ordered a 1.6 metre honeycomb blind (blockout) for a hot west facing sliding door. I had a lot of questions mainly due to trying to decide to hang it inside or outside of the window frame. My questions were answered promptly and in detail, the installation was a breeze and I am delighted with the result ! Delivery was very quick also. I plan to order some more next year.

I needed a double honeycomb blind for thermal insulation over some glass bricks. I should have done something about this earlier. These blinds are great. Easy installation and the heat reduction was instantaneous as soon as I lowered the blind. Really helpful service when ordering, and super fast delivery. Thanks so much!

I searched on Google for online blind suppliers and several came up. After researching several suppliers we settled on Veneta. The site was easy to use from deciding on the colour, and inputting the measurements, we then ordered the blinds. I made one phone call to clarify a small query I had and that was resolved. As we were away at the time the blinds were supposed to delivered we requested a delay in the delivery time. The blinds arrived as requested, were installed following the instructionsand the look great.We will be ordering more as the process was so easy, when I spoke to staff the were so helpful. I would definitely recommend dealing with Veneta they are worth the 5 stars.

My whole house now has Honeycomb Blinds. I cannot fault the quality of the service, the product, the price. The Blinds fit perfectly and look stunning.....more than happy.. Thank you Veneta Blinds

Phenomenal service, attention to detail, quality of product, and value for money. I honestly wouldn't consider any other blind company. Their staff followed up on the measurements, sent samples, enquired about the look and feel we were after, and followed up on the quality of the delivery, asked how the installation went, and then sent through the warranty. We fitted our entire (renovated) house with honeycomb blinds for the insulation properties, the fact that they 'disappear' into our timber window features, and their style and quality. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I have bought online blinds before from a different supplier 8 years ago. I tried Veneta as the previous company didn't have the colour I was after and I couldn't be happy with their service, delivery and product. I am very particular and for me to be happy and write a review that says it all! installed three honeycomb blinds in less than 1 hour.

Placed our first order with Veneta for 1 only honeycomb blind. Order process was easy, delivery was prompt and the product quality is superb. Installation was a breeze. We're about to place an order for multiple blinds for our other windows now we have experienced the great service and seen the quality of the product.

I had read about 'honeycomb blinds' and thought I would ask Veneta to make one for a bedroom window. It was made within a week and delivered to Tassie within another. Took me twenty minutes to instal and the bedroom is now noticeably warmer and quieter. I'll be ordering more!

We have just installed 9 Veneta Honeycomb Blinds and have nothing but praise regarding the price, product and service. Veneta sent free samples out and we were impressed with the quality. After we ordered they kept us informed of the progress and delivered within the specified timeframe. (about 12 days) The instructions were clear and everything was well packaged to ensure there was no damage on delivery.

Very helpful customer service able to answer my questions about fitting multiple honeycomb blinds in a single window. Good value. Delivered on time exactly 2 weeks after my order. Easy to install. Look and work great exactly as described. I wish other companies would deliver on their promises the same way Veneta does. No hassles at all - a big contrast to other experiences whilst constructing our house.

I'm a new home owner so, measuring and ordering new blinds for my new apartment was a little nerve wracking. Veneta Blinds were helpful from the word go. Of all the online stores I looked at, they had the best range of cellular blinds; single cell Vs double cell, different sized cells, cordless Vs corded and a good range of colours. I ordered some samples and they arrived quickly and Veneta Blinds called a few days later to check how I was going. They also provided a range of sample blinds so I could see the difference between single and double celled. I followed their instructions on measuring the window and my blinds fit perfectly (seriously, perfectly!). once I ordered the blinds they arrived within 3 weeks. To top it all off, they were very very easy to install - I actually did it on my own! Veneta then also followed up with me following delivery to check I was happy. All in all, fantastic service!.

Quality Blinds and Excellent Service! We are very happy with the Honeycomb Blinds which we purchased through Veneta Blinds. They look great and fit snuggly in to the window frames. I found that the price of the blinds was very reasonable in comparison to other blind and curtain companies and are of the same quality of the more expensive blinds. The installation video and instruction leaflet provided by Veneta Blinds are very helpful, though in my case, I did find it more beneficial to use a slightly larger bit piece than what is suggested in the leaflet when drilling the guide holes into the wooden window frame. We will definitely purchase more blinds through Veneta Blinds again.

We have been renovating our home which has not been insulated. There are quite a few windows which we could not replace, so decided to try the insulating blinds. Although the walls have not been insulated yet, we can already feel the difference in the warmth of the house. In the past, in cold weather, the inside of the house has always been colder than the outside. Now we have the light and warmth. The customer service has been great. It is so refreshing to deal with people and have the personal contact.

Buying blinds online could have been a really good or a terrible experience.. Luckily, my experience with Veneta Blinds has been awesome! I ordered a bunch of samples which came within days and once I selected my fabric I followed the measurement instructions to measure up three windows for block out honeycomb blinds. Veneta called me to double check all the details and my blinds then came a day or so earlier than expected. They fit perfectly and installation was so easy that I can't believe the mark up some companies charge to measure and fit! The quality of the blinds is outstanding for the price and they are easy to operate. The end product and whole experience definitely exceeded my expectations and I will be ordering from Veneta again!

A friend had a very good experience and recommended Veneta so I decided to get some honeycomb blinds. The customer service staff service were very patient and helpful, the blinds arrived quickly and were relatively easy to install with the help of the instructions and video. I liked there was an option to call for back up help as well. I'm very happy with the end product.

Ordered the motorised cellular blinds for two windows, loved them so much I ordered the rest of the house (19 blinds). I've had them for over 6 months and still love them, they fit perfect and look great. I have many different shaped windows including a corner window and five panel wide door, spent a lot of time talking to Veneta to make sure I got everything right. I have no cords and just press a button to open/close 10 blinds (2 upstairs) all at once. I've used rechargeable batteries and have some on standby if needed but the inconvenience of changing batteries is far outweighed by the clean look of these blinds.

The search is on for a missing dog following a three vehicle crash that sent one person to hospital with minor injuries in Glacier National Park early Thursday afternoon.
The crash took place just after 1 p.m. near the Loop Brook Bridge, six kilometres west of the Rogers Pass summit, said Marnie DiGiandomenico, a spokesperson for Parks Canada.
"Essentially one vehicle fish-tailed and tried to recover and in that process they sideswiped a truck that was towing a trailer with two snowmobiles… and another vehicle," she said.
Sgt. Kim Hall of the Revelstoke RCMP said that an eastbound Toyota Tacoma skidded and collided with two westbound vehicles – a Subaru and a Dodge Ram towing two snowmobiles.
The 28-year-old driver of the Tacoma experienced minor injuries and was taken to Queen Victoria Hospital in Revelstoke. One person out of three in the Subaru had minor injuries and was treated on scene, and the two occupants of the Dodge Ram were uninjured.
In the aftermath, a 10-month-old, 90 per cent wolf dog named Trig ran off; he has yet to be found. It belongs to the driver of the Tacoma.
Last December a dog went missing following a fatal crash in Rogers Pass. It was found five days later when the owners went looking for it.
DriveBC is reporting compact snow and slippery sections through the park, though DiGiandomenico and Hall said road conditions were good.
"We do have good road conditions but we are experiencing high traffic volumes and speed is always a factor," said DiGiandomenico.

This forum is a new feature, and it will take us some time to learn how to use it to best advantage. In the interim, there will be an awkward transitional period while we work out the best way to administer the thing and avoid the dread plague of spam. For the immediate future, we plan to leave the Newly Registered User and Moderation Lists with their default settings and review them at least twice per day to identify robots and admit real human beings to the Royal Navy Air Service as expediently as possible. (Members of non-human species will be accredited with diplomatic status and admitted as Representatives of Friendly Nations). This means it may take a few hours for your very first post to appear. As we gain experience, we'll relax the default permissions, simplify settings, and do everything in our power to make things as swift as possible, because we're an idle lot who would rather be relaxing at the club with a snifter of fine brandy after a satisfying day of aviation.
Please bear with us while we make the inevitable mistakes. If you have particular experience administering forums of this sort, we welcome your recommendations! And if you have any complaints, blame Jenkins.

Rates may be headed down given trends in the bond markets. If a bank is calling to lock in a rate, it is best to consult with your Mortgage Broker for sound advice- especially if your rate is lower than what it being offered.
On the real estate side, December saw a drop in the market for sales. Residential sales were down 15.7% and condo sales were down 6.8% from last December. Weather and inventory may have played a role in this decrease. In terms of home prices, residential was up 4.7% and condos were up by 9%. In terms of year-to-date, sales were up 2.4% and average sale price was up by 3.9%. The average sale price was $407,000. Given the inventory levels we saw through 2018, in December there were only 2691 homes on the market- 2075 residential homes and 616 condos.
Even with the low inventory levels, your home still needs to be priced properly. Consulting with a trusted Real Estate Agent can help ensure this is accomplished.
Credit card debt can be the worst debt to carry in terms of ability to pay off. Best practice is to pay off the credit card every month.

As consumers, we know our rights, one of the most important of which is the right to return and exchange. Whether you're buying a new flat-screen TV from Best Buy, the new iPhone from Apple, or Daniel Silva's latest spy thriller from Amazon, if you're not happy with your purchase you can always take it back and exchange it.
More and more Republicans today are wishing the same policy applied to political candidates. Both publicly and privately they admit they'd like to trade Mitt Romney in for somebody who could win.
After all, given the sluggish state of the economy and the most recent dismal job numbers, this should be a "gimme" election for Romney. No president since FDR has won re-election with an economy this bad. Romney should be well ahead in the polls by now.
But, even given ideal conditions, Romney can't close the deal. After a readily forgettable convention, he's fallen behind in the national polls. He lags in most of the swing states. His campaign has given up on Pennsylvania and Michigan. Without a clear campaign strategy, he just seems to lurch from one faux pas to the next. And it's driving conservatives, so desperate to get rid of Obama, crazy.
"If you can't beat Barack Obama with this record, then shut down the party," conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham told Republicans. "Shut it down. Start new, with new people." Reacting to Romney's failure to capitalize on those disappointing job numbers, columnist George Will piled on: "If the Republican Party cannot win in this environment, it has to get out of politics and find another business." Even Rush Limbaugh had to admit, "Romney is not the perfect candidate." But that's OK, Rush insisted, because Republicans are voting against Obama, and not for Romney. "He may as well be Elmer Fudd as far as we're concerned." It's not a good sign when the leader of the Republican Party compares his party's presidential candidate to Elmer Fudd.
Romney's not even talking about jobs, anymore. Ever since he named extreme social conservative Paul Ryan as his running mate, he and Ryan, instead, have been talking about everything but jobs: abortion, rape, contraception, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Which, again, drives conservative pundits nuts. They know Republicans can't win on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
To make matters worse, Romney makes an even bigger fool of himself whenever he ventures into foreign policy. Any suspicion that Romney might be ready to assume the awesome responsibility of leader of the free world vanished this week as soon as he opened his mouth about Libya.
Romney's first mistake was to speak too soon, without knowing the facts. When word broke of protests outside American embassies in Egypt and Libya, Romney — based on a written statement by our embassy in Cairo — accused President Obama of siding with terrorists. Even though that statement was released before peaceful protests turned into violence. And even though all the statement did was condemn makers of the inflammatory anti-Muslim video which triggered the protests.
His second mistake — after news broke that Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in what appears to be a deliberately-planned terrorist attack against the United States — was not to apologize, but to double-down and again accuse the president of sending "mixed messages" about whose side he was really on.
If that's not treason, I don't know what is. By the way, I was in the Rose Garden when President Obama spoke on Libya. He strongly condemned the killings and vowed to bring those responsible to justice. And when Obama vows to track you down and kill you, that's no mixed message. He means what he says. Ask Osama bin Laden.
Once again, Romney's ham-handed response frustrated and angered fellow Republicans. Steve Schmidt, senior adviser to John McCain in 2008, said Romney's comments were a "big mistake and the decision to double down on them was an even bigger mistake." He and others know what Mitt Romney does not: When America is under attack, it's time for all Americans to pull together in sorrow, and anger, and determination. It's no time for cheap, partisan, political attacks.
Every day, it looks more and more like Rick Santorum was right, after all. He said it about Mitt Romney last March: "He is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama."

Isaac was downgraded to a tropical storm Thursday, but continued soaking Louisiana for yet another day, pushing more water into neighborhoods all around New Orleans and forcing last-minute evacuations and rescues. The city itself was spared, thanks in large part to a levee system built after Katrina.
The storm's maximum sustained winds decreased to near 35 mph and was expected to continue to gradually weaken. Thursday afternoon, Isaac's center was about 35 miles west-nothwest of Monroe, La., and is moving north-northwest near 12 mph.
As the storm slogged its way across the state and windy conditions calmed, the extent of some of the damage became clear. Hundreds of homes, perhaps more, were underwater, thousands of people were staying at shelters and half of the state was without power. About 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles, and at least two people were killed.
And the damage may not be done. Officials were releasing water from an Isaac-stressed dam at a lake near the Louisiana-Mississippi border, hoping to ease the pressure. They had also started work on a levee breach in hard-hit Plaquemines Parish. In Arkansas, power lines were downed and trees knocked over as Isaac moved into the state.
Farther south, where evacuations were ordered ahead of the storm, Isaac's unpredictable, meandering path and the amount of rain — as much as 16 inches in some places — caught many off guard.
"I was blindsided, nobody expected this," said Richard Musatchia, who left his home in LaPlace, northwest of the city.
Musatchia said 5 feet of water filled his home before a neighbor passed by with a boat and evacuated him and his 6-year-old boxer, Renny.
He piled two suitcases, a backpack and a few smaller bags onto the boat and said that's all he has left. He left a brand-new Cadillac and a Harley-Davidson behind.
"People have their generators, because they thought the power would go out, but no one expected the water," he said.
Others trickled into a parking lot of the New Wine Christian Fellowship church, delivered by National Guard vehicles, school buses and pickup trucks.
Daphine and David Newman fled their newly decorate home with two trash bags of clothing. They have lived in their subdivision since 1992, and they never had water in their home from previous storms, including Katrina. The comparison was common one since Isaac hit on the seventh anniversary of the devastating 2005 storm, though the differences were stark.
Katrina was more powerful, a Category 3 at landfall, while Isaac was a Category 1 at its peak. Isaac wobbled around; Katrina barreled into the state and quickly moved through.
David Newman was frustrated the government spent billions reinforcing levees for New Orleans and Jefferson Parish after Katrina and now he had the water.
"The water's got to go somewhere," he said. "It's going to find the weakest link, and with the wind directions, we was ground zero."

As officials called for impromptu evacuations, a debate started about whether anyone was to blame.
Jefferson Parish Council president Chris Roberts said forecasters at the National Hurricane Center needed a new way of measuring the danger. Many second-guessed evacuation orders, he said.
"The risk that a public official has is, people say, 'Aw, it's a Category 1 storm and you guys are out there calling for mandatory evacuations,'" Roberts said.
Hundreds of people in lower Jefferson chose to ride out the storm — and many of them had to be rescued, he said.

Eric Blake, a hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, said although Isaac's cone shifted west as it zigzagged toward the Gulf Coast, forecasters accurately predicted its path, intensity and rainfall. He did say the storm crept ashore somewhat slower than anticipated.
Blake also said local officials and residents shouldn't use Katrina as a guide for what areas were at the greatest risk of flooding during Isaac.
"Every hurricane is different," Blake said. "If you're trying to use the last hurricane to gauge your storm surge risk, it's very dangerous."
Along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans, officials sent scores of buses and dozens of high-water vehicles to help evacuate about 3,000 people as rising waters lapped against houses and left cars stranded. Floodwaters rose waist-high in some neighborhoods, and the Louisiana National Guard was working with sheriff's deputies to rescue people stranded in their homes.
A Coast Guard helicopter hoisted a couple and their dogs early Thursday from a home in LaPlace, between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, after storm surge poured into their neighborhood and local authorities called for help. The couple was taken to New Orleans and reported in good condition.
"The husband and wife and their two dogs were in an area where a lot of houses washed away," said Lt. Cmdr. Jorge Porto. "They used a flashlight inside the house as a signaling device, which made all the difference in locating them effectively."
To the east, evacuations were ordered in a sparsely-populated area as the lake dam threatened to break. Officials in Tangipahoa Parish, La., feared the water would pour into the already swollen river and flood places downstream. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said the controlled release should prevent a significant flooding event.
A tow truck driver was killed Thursday morning when a tree fell on his truck in Picayune, Miss., just across the state line from Louisiana. In Vermilion Parish, a 36-year-old man died after falling 18 feet from a tree while helping friends move a vehicle ahead of the storm. Deputies did not know why he climbed the tree.
President Barack Obama declared federal emergencies in Louisiana and Mississippi late Wednesday, allowing federal aid to be freed up for affected areas.
In southeast Arkansas, winds gusted to more than 40 mph and heavy rainfall fell, knocking down trees and power lines in Chicot County. The small farming town of Eudora lost power. In neighboring Ashley County, a handful of dead trees were scattered across roadways, according to County Judge Emory Austin, who said he was worried about flooding.
"We need the rain, I just don't need a lot," Austin said.
Isaac arrived seven years after Hurricane Katrina and passed slightly to the west of New Orleans, where the city's fortified levee system easily handled the assault.
"Unfortunately, that's not been the case for low-lying areas outside the federal system, in particular lower Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes," said Louisiana Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu. "Hurricane Isaac has reinforced for us once again just how vulnerable these critical areas are. We must re-engage the Corps of Engineers on this."
In Plaquemines Parish, a sparsely populated area south of the city that is outside the federal levee system, dozens of people were stranded in flooded coastal areas and had to be rescued. The storm pushed water over an 18-mile levee and put so much pressure on it that authorities were intentionally puncturing the floodwall to relieve the strain.
Louisiana's Public Service Commission said 901,000 homes and businesses around the state — about 47 percent of all customers — were without power Thursday. Utility company Entergy said that included about 157,000 in New Orleans.
Forecasters expected Isaac to move farther inland over the next several days, dumping rain on drought-stricken states across the nation's midsection before finally breaking up over the weekend.

Even at its strongest, the storm was far weaker than Hurricane Katrina, which at its peak was a Category 5 and hit New Orleans as a Category 3. Isaac came ashore late Tuesday as a Category 1 hurricane, with 80 mph winds near the mouth of the Mississippi River. It drove a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland. Because Isaac's coiled bands of rain and wind were moving at only 5 mph — about the pace of a brisk walk — the threat of storm surges and flooding was expected to linger Thursday as the immense system crawled across Louisiana.
In coastal Mississippi, officials used small motorboats Wednesday to rescue at least two dozen people from a neighborhood Isaac flooded in Pearlington. In addition, the National Weather Service said there were reports of at least three possible tornadoes touching down in coastal counties. No injuries were reported.
None of the reports had been confirmed. Until the weather clears, there is no way for survey teams to assess the area to determine whether damage was done by tornadoes or straight-line winds, said NWS Meteorologist Shawn O'Neil.
Back in New Orleans, the storm canceled remembrance ceremonies for those killed by Katrina. Since that catastrophe, the city's levee system has been bolstered by $14 billion in federal repairs and improvements. The bigger, stronger levees were tested for the first time by Hurricane Gustav in 2008.
In Vermilion Parish, a 36-year-old man died after falling 18 feet from a tree while helping friends move a vehicle ahead of the storm. Deputies did not know why he climbed the tree.
The storm stalled for several hours before resuming a crawl inland, and forecasters said that was in keeping with its erratic history. The slow motion over land means Isaac could be a major soaker, dumping up to 20 inches of rain in some areas. New Orleans reported at about 10 inches in some places as rain continued to fall late Wednesday.
Before making landfall in the U.S., Isaac was blamed for 29 deaths in Haiti and 5 in the neighboring Dominican Republic.

Brittney Ezell became the eighth head coach in the 46-year history of East Tennessee State University women's basketball on May 8, 2013.
The 2016 season will feature a rigorous non-conference schedule for ETSU including home contests against Vanderbilt, Old Dominion and the University of Tennessee. Ezell has constructed difficult non-conference schedules since being hired in 2013, playing a total of 13 teams from power five conferences.
During the 2015-16 season, Ezell guided the Bucs to their third straight winning season including a perfect 6-0 record at home against non-conference opponents. Ezell and the ETSU women's basketball program captured a signature victory early in the season when the Bucs defeated Old Dominion on the road. ODU is the third winningest program in NCAA Division I women's basketball history.
In 2014-15, ETSU experienced an unbelievable turnaround under Ezell with a 16-game win progression from 2013-14 where the Bucs went 9-21. The total win improvement was the second best in the country. The 2014-15 win total of 21 marked the first time since the 2009-10 season that ETSU reached 20 wins. Led by Ezell, the Bucs made it to the Southern Conference Tournament Championship game falling to No.1 seed Chattanooga in overtime, 61-56. ETSU appeared in the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) for the third time in school history falling short to NC State, 73-59.
In three years at Belmont, Ezell navigated the Bruins through their final two seasons as member of the Atlantic Sun Conference (2011-2012) and inaugural season in the Ohio Valley Conference (2013).
In 2012-13, Ezell directed Belmont to an 18-14 campaign and the Bruins' first postseason appearance since 2007 - a berth in the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI). Belmont took on a rigorous non-conference schedule and earned victory at Big Ten fixture Indiana. Belmont went 11-5 in OVC play, tying for second place in the OVC East and earning the conference tournament's No. 3 seed.
In 2011-12, Ezell directed the Bruins to 11 conference victories and a league tournament No. 3 seed in the program's final Atlantic Sun Conference campaign. Senior Haley Nelson ranked among the NCAA leaders in double-doubles, field goal percentage, blocked shots and rebounds en route to First Team All-Atlantic Sun honors.
Ezell took the helm of the Belmont program after spending the previous two seasons as head coach at the University of Montevallo. Inheriting a Falcon program that recorded one winning season in its previous 12 years, Ezell directed Montevallo to a 14-13 record in 2009-10. The Falcons also ranked second in the Peach Belt Conference in scoring defense.
Prior to Montevallo, Ezell spent three seasons as head coach at Okaloosa-Walton Junior College (now Northwest Florida State College) in Niceville, Fla. The Lady Raiders went 57-28 under Ezell's watch, which included an appearance in the 2006 NJCAA Regional Tournament. During her tenure, Ezell developed 14 All-Panhandle Conference performers, 12 of whom would go on to sign national letters of intent with NCAA Division I schools. The Lady Raiders also had 12 Academic All-Conference honorees.
Ezell's coaching career began at the University of Alabama, where she spent five years as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. She was credited with delivering back-to-back Top 15 ranked recruiting classes for the Tide, with four guards developing into All-SEC players.
Ezell was a four-year starting point guard for the Tide, helping lead the team to a 95-34 record and four consecutive NCAA Division I "Sweet Sixteen" appearances from 1995-98. She ranks in the Top 20 in career scoring, with 1,022 points and is second all-time in career assists (620) and games started (114). She was a Second Team All-SEC selection in 1998 and was named to the SEC All-Tournament Team in 1996. In 1998, Ezell was a candidate for the Francis Pomeroy Naismith Award, given to the top point guard in the country and was named to the inaugural WBCA/Honda All-Star Game for the nation's top 20 players. She also was invited to the WNBA Rookie Combine in Chicago.
Additionally, Ezell became the first female two-sport athlete at Alabama in over a decade when she joined the Tide softball team. A two-time Golden Glove recipient and two-year starter at third base and shortstop, Ezell started at third base for UA's first SEC Tournament Championship team in 1998.
Ezell earned a bachelor's degree in business management from Alabama in 1999 and a master's degree in education administration from the University of Nebraska in 2005. A native of Franklin, Tennessee, Ezell was a prep standout at Franklin High School. She was a three-time District MVP, tallying over 2,000 points and 600 assists in her career.

City Boss Fight 2009
The Candidate on the Right
An interview with mayoral contender Rep. R.J. Berry
It's the job of the challenger to stomp out of the saloon, guns blazing for the incumbent. That's the way this mayoral race has gone. State Rep. R.J. Berry and Richard Romero attack, and Mayor Martin Chavez deflects (though he's certainly squeezed the trigger a few times himself).
Neverending Stories
Hot for Health Care
Rowdy debate erupts at town hall
Rep. Martin Heinrich voiced support for a "robust public option" to a wash of boos and cheers at the health care town hall on Saturday, Aug. 22. But he was unable to say later whether he would vote in favor of a bill that lacked a government-run medical plan to compete with private insurance. "We'll have to see what the final product looks like," he said of HB 3200, the reform measure making its way through the House.

We'll Get Around to It
The Monday, Aug. 17 meeting opened with a stunner— Councilor Sally Mayer announced she had removed her name from the October election ballot. Mayer said she would be moving to Chicago in January for six months to a year. Mayer said her daughter's family needed her. "My son-in-law has been a wonderful stay-at-home dad but now he has a job," and the working couple needs Grandma to babysit. Mayer's decision leaves one District 7 candidate still on the ballot and one write-in candidate, neither of whom she endorses.

McOwiti's Dream
When Barack Obama took office, I remember saying to a friend, "In a way, I feel sorry for the guy; there are so many messes, so many emergencies he has to deal with all at once, it's gotta be overwhelming. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; an economy headed south in a hurry; immigration, health care and education reform; Guantanamo; the hopeless black hole of the 'war on drugs.' I mean, how's he even going to know where to begin?"

Extras from the Berry Interview
R.J. Berry is a Republican contender for the mayor's seat and a legislator in the state's House of Representatives. Here are extras from the interview he did with the Alibi that didn't make it into the paper. (See the original article here.)
Odds & Ends
Dateline: Florida—Does this count as a hate crime? Earlier this month, a man with Britney Spears' name tattooed on his arm or neck allegedly stole a tiny Chihuahua with pink earrings from a South Florida gay bar. Brian Dortort, 48, told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel he has spent the last month searching for 4-month-old Hudson Hayward Hemingway. The dog, described as no bigger than a softball, was last seen lodged safely inside a "specialty pet bag." Dortort said he let a man hold the Chihuahua for a moment during a friend's birthday party at Georgie's Alibi bar in Wilton Manors. When Dortort turned back, both of them had disappeared. Police say a suspect has not been identified, but it's up to the Broward State Attorney's Office to decide whether to issue an arrest warrant.
When I walked into the exam room, a thin, pale, middle-aged man was sitting patiently in a chair waiting for me. "Mr. Richards" (not his real name) politely explained that he needed medicine for his heart and gave me a list of the medications he was supposed to be taking. I asked about his living situation, and he told me he had been living in shelters for the past two years.

Ithaca College is a residential college. The College recognizes the developmental value of a residentially based education and believes that residence hall living is a key component of a student's overall educational experience. For these reasons, provisions are made to house all students on campus throughout their undergraduate years. Students are required to live on campus for their freshman, sophomore, and junior years, unless they apply for and receive off-campus approval from the Office of Residential Life. A student with senior-year status is considered exempt from the residence policy. Under current housing processes, a senior is a student who has lived on campus for five semesters by the fall housing selection process held during the spring semester, and six and seven semesters, respectively, during the fall and spring semesters of a current academic year. Any student with senior-year status who wishes to reside on campus for the senior year must submit a senior intention form. Students with senior standing who do not submit a senior intention form to participate in room selection during the spring selection will be considered off-campus for the following semesters.
Once a senior declares their intent to live on campus by submitting a senior intention form and secures on-campus housing for the following academic year, the student relinquishes his or her senior year exempt status. Seniors who have relinquished their senior-year exempt status and later wish to live off-campus will need to apply for and receive off-campus approval from the Office of Residential Life.
Nonseniors and seniors who have relinquished their senior-year status as described above should not sign leases or make any other commitments for off-campus housing without written approval to move off campus from the Office of Residential Life. Any nonsenior or a senior who has relinquished senior-year exempt status who moves off campus without the written approval of the Office of Residential Life will be billed for room and board charges. The College remains committed to maintaining fully occupied residence halls. Recognizing that overoccupied residence halls can negatively affect the community if housing projections for an upcoming academic year indicate that the residence halls will be overoccupied, a limited off-campus application process may be conducted for nonseniors and for seniors who have relinquished their senior-year exempt status. Students should not sign off-campus lease agreements in anticipation of being approved to live off campus. The Office of Residential Life offers one off-campus process during February to grant off-campus approval for the following academic year. There are no provisions for exceptions to the off-campus policy. At any time, a student living off campus may ask to return to campus housing. These requests will be reviewed and approved on a space-available basis.
Readmitted students and students returning from the London Center, other Ithaca College study-abroad programs, from the Ithaca College communications program in Los Angeles, from the Washington Semester Program, from student teaching, internships, and so on, or from a leave of absence must resume their previous housing status (i.e., campus resident or off-campus status) upon return to campus, unless they have senior-year status and have not relinquished that status as detailed above. Married students, students in domestic partnerships or civil unions, students who are 23 years of age or older, incoming transfer students who have previously been enrolled at a college for at least two years, students with dependents, and students who meet the criteria for being a commuter student as defined by the College's commuter policy (see below) are not required to live in College-provided housing. Students who meet the exempt criteria and opt to live on campus must remain on campus for the entire academic year.
Incoming freshmen are guaranteed on-campus housing. Occasionally, the demand for housing by other incoming students (i.e., transfers or readmits) or returning students may exceed the capacity of our residence halls. In this event, incoming freshmen and transfers may be assigned to temporary accommodations. Other incoming students or students returning to housing may be notified that on-campus housing is not available for them.
If a student has documented special needs, the Office of Residential Life will make every effort to provide the most appropriate on-campus housing assignment, in consultation with health services, academic support services, the counseling center, or other appropriate college offices.
Commuter Policy
A student is eligible for commuter status if he or she lives within a 60-mile driving distance of Ithaca College and is living at the home of a parent or legal guardian. Students seeking commuter status must complete a commuter request application (available at the Office of Residential Life) and receive written approval from the Office of Residential Life in order to be released from room and board charges. Students who cease to meet the criteria for commuter status will be required to reside on campus and will be billed for appropriate room and board charges. Any student who misrepresents himself or herself as a commuter student may be subject to disciplinary action under the Student Conduct Code and may be billed for room and board charges.
Part-Time Students
Undergraduate students who are not enrolled full-time (i.e., for at least 12 credits per semester) at Ithaca College may be subject to removal from the residence halls at the discretion of the Office of Residential Life. However, dropping to part-time status does not automatically make a student exempt from living on campus. Any questions regarding part-time status should be directed to the Office of Residential Life.
Board Requirements
All students residing in College housing facilities (with the exception of apartments in the Quads and the Circle and Garden Apartments) must participate in the College meal plan. A commuter meal plan is also available to apartment residents and off-campus students. Students who have special dietary needs should contact Dining Services.

Brief Synopsis
An Anglo-Indian beauty falls for a British officer as her country fights for independence.
In 1947, after several months of supervising reservists assigned to maintain peace at Bhowani Junction station during British withdrawal from India, Col. Rodney Savage has been summoned to return to England. While many Indians pay tribute to the departing Savage, Victoria Jones, a woman of Anglo-Indian descent, kisses the colonel as he boards the train. When fellow passenger Gen. Agavy, who has arranged to have Savage travel in his car, asks the colonel about his stay at Bhowani Junction, Savage recounts the complicated story of being torn between his military duty and his love for Victoria: Savage is detailed to Bhowani just as the Indian Congress Party, who are Gandhi sympathizers, support a recent Indian navy mutiny by organizing a harmless but well organized disruption at the station to halt the rail service and push the English out of the country. As the Congress choke the railway station with crowds, the Communist resistance and their underground leader, Davay, see an opportunity to create a violent riot. During the confusion, local traffic superintendent Patrick Taylor, an Anglo-Indian, meets his childhood sweetheart Victoria, who has just returned from Delhi after serving four years in the Women's Auxiliary Corps of the Indian army. The new collector, a local Indian official named Govindaswami, informs Savage, Taylor and Victoria about Davay, explaining that the Soviet Union wants the Communist party to run the country after the English have left. Following the meeting, Savage, who is instantly attracted to Victoria, orders her to remain in service to the railway despite her protests. Soon after, Taylor and Victoria return home to her Indian mother and her English father, Thomas Jones, a train conductor. Over dinner, Taylor expresses his fear that government jobs given to the more privileged Anglo-Indians will not be available should the English leave. Infuriated, Victoria yells that, as Anglo-Indians, they must find their place in Indian society without help from the English, and flees to her bedroom. Taylor then tries to talk to her about their plans for marriage, but Victoria, torn between the two cultures, retorts that she might marry an Indian man instead. The next day, striking Congress members lie down on the tracks in order to halt an ammunition train. When the Communists incite the gathering crowd to violence, Savage disperses them at gunpoint. After gaining Govindaswami's approval, Savage then orders Indian lower caste "untouchables" to throw pails of slop from the restrooms at the demonstrators, who flee the tracks in humiliation and disgust. When Taylor laughs at Savage's clever ploy against the Indians, Victoria becomes so outraged she vows never to speak to him again. Savage soon receives word that ammunition has been stolen from the train and that Davay has incited mobs to loot and burn nearby towns. That night as bombs fall on Bhowani, Victoria is walking home on the train tracks when Lt. Graham McDaniel, a lecherous station worker, attempts to rape her. Fighting for her life, Victoria hits McDaniel with a bar of steel, instantly killing him. Indian co-worker Ranjit Kasal finds Victoria beside the dead man and helps her to his house, where his mother, the Sandani, forbids her to tell the truth, assuming that the English would blame her son, an Indian, for the murder in order to save the military's reputation. Sandani reprimands Victoria for not dressing like an Indian and expresses her wish that Victoria marry Ranjit. Ghan Shyam, a guest in Sandani's home, then offers to hide McDaniel's body. Convinced that she must embrace Indian life, Victoria dresses in a sari and begins publicly dating Ranjit, hoping her admiration of his traditions will turn into love. One day, military investigator George Lansom questions Victoria about the night of the murder and shows her a picture of Ghan Shyam, whom he identifies as Davay. Victoria claims to know nothing of either McDaniel or Davay. A few weeks later, when Ranjit asks Victoria to join him in becoming a Sikh and marry him, she accepts and begins studying the religion. When the strike is finally halted, Davay blows up a passenger train using the stolen explosives, causing dozens of deaths and injuries. Receiving orders to assist in the rescue effort, Victoria arrives at the wreck but is paralyzed by the horror surrounding her. Later, Ranjit and Victoria realize they cannot turn in Davay, who is still living with them under the name Ghan Shyam, for fear of implicating Sandani in Communist organizing and Victoria in McDaniel's death. Days later, Lansom questions Victoria again and tells her they have found the body of a sentry along with McDaniel's. During her wedding to Ranjit at a Sikh temple, conflicting voices fill Victoria's head with doubts and compel her to flee. Deciding to leave the city for a few days, she catches a ride on her father's next run, where Savage offers to share his cabin with her. Desperate to clear her conscience for both McDaniel's and the sentry's deaths, Victoria finally admits to killing McDaniel in self-defense and to knowing Davay's location. Savage believes her, but insists she admit the truth to the authorities and reveal Ranjit and Sandani's involvement. After Victoria is found innocent of the murder, Savage takes her out to celebrate and a romance soon develops between the officer and his subordinate. Within weeks, after Savage is ordered to return to England, Victoria rejects his offer to join him, claiming that she wants to find her place in India. Late one night, Davay kidnaps Victoria and secretly takes her aboard a freight train car heading out of town. Taylor, having heard that the train made an unscheduled stop, questions a railway man and learns that the car stopped near Victoria's home. When he finds Victoria's bed empty and goes to Savage's home, both men quickly realize Victoria must be aboard the train and race in a jeep to head off it off. Davay binds and gags Victoria, ties dynamite to his body and jumps off the train in a tunnel. When Savage stops the train at the other end of the tunnel, they find Victoria and learn that Davay is still inside the tunnel. As he follows Savage into the tunnel with guns drawn, the brave but naïve Taylor runs ahead with his flashlight and is shot by Davay. With help from Taylor's light, Savage kills Davay and then cradles the dying Taylor in his arms. As a train passes through the tunnel, Savage spots Mahatma Gandhi and realizes that Davay's attempt to kill India's new leader was narrowly averted. Within days, as he prepares to leave India, a love-struck Savage asks Victoria to join him in England as his wife, but she claims to belong to India. When Savage promises to leave the army and return to India to live with her, Victoria is overjoyed. Back on the train leaving India, Gen. Agavy offers to help Savage get an early military release, insisting that it is the least he could do.

Looking to buy one of the limited-edition 25th Anniversary Mazda MX-5 Miata roadsters? Well, you're too late. According to Mazda, all 100 examples of the darling two-seater have sold out - and it only took 10 minutes.
On Tuesday, Mazda opened its pre-order site for the limited-run Miata, and had intended to keep the site running until May 31, or until 250 customers were registered, whichever came first. Just 10 minutes later, 250 people had signed up. Now, Mazda will contact those folks, and the first 100 that are verified will be given the opportunity to pre-order the unique MX-5. "Upon verification of purchase intent and transmission selection, the customer's information will then be forwarded to the dealership of their choosing to finalize the transaction," Mazda said in a press release.
The 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition models will arrive at dealers this summer, retailing for $32,205 with the six-speed manual, or $32,655 for those desiring the automatic transmission. Based on the PRHT (Power Retractable Hard Top) model, the limited-edition Miata adds Bilstein shocks, a Soul Red metallic paint job (the same found on the gorgeous Mazda6) with a contrasting black roof, gunmetal wheels and an off-white leather interior. Special badging will be found inside the car, and buyers will also be treated to a custom-crafted Tourneau watch and a display winder box.
Not lucky enough to get your hands on one of the 25th Anniversary roadsters? If our vast experience with the Miata is any indication, we trust that you'll enjoy the regular model just as much. Scroll down for Mazda's official announcement.Continue reading 25th Anniversary Edition Mazda MX-5 Miata sells out in 10 minutes

Since their founding in the 1920s, Whittier's societies (local versions of fraternities and sororities) have been an integral part of the College's traditions as well as a critical source of alumni philanthropy. Each year, approximately one third of all society alumni participate in giving back to their alma mater. Their proud support of scholarly excellence sets a high bar by funding student scholarships, athletic teams, academic departments, and the College's endowment.
The All-Society Alumni Participation Challenge is an annual friendly competition among these groups, each year awarding a grand prize to a society with the highest percentage of alumni who make a gift (no matter what size) to the College. This year's Challenge runs from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, the College's fiscal year. The Challenge has a tremendous impact on Whittier's ability to provide high quality education as well as on creating a lasting and meaningful connection of society alumni to their alma mater.
The TOP THREE societies will receive the following cash prizes:
1st Place
2nd Place
3rd Place
How Do I Participate?
Whittier College maintains information about alumni involvement in societies in its alumni database. All you need to do is make your tax-deductible gift (of any amount) to Whittier College between now and June 30, 2018, and your participation will automatically be counted on behalf of your society.
What Counts?
All tax-deductible gifts from alumni degree holders, of any amount, to Whittier College made between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 (our current fiscal year) count. Any designation is fine, so choose something you feel passionate about – e.g. your society's scholarship fund, the Whittier Fund, your academic department, or your favorite athletic team. Remember, it is your participation that helps your society in the competition, not the size of your gift.
Why Does Alumni Participation Matter?
Alumni giving rates influence national college rankings and can shape the perceptions of grant-making foundations and the greater academic community (learn more). Your gift has the power to boost the value of your Whittier College degree as well as help your society. There are many ways to give.
The College is grateful to each society and its members for making the Challenge interesting and competitive. Once again, society alumni were instrumental in boosting the College's overall alumni participation rate, which now stands at 24%. We encourage society alumni to join their brothers and sisters and get involved! Call the Alumni Office for information about your society alumni leadership (i.e. alumni advisory committees).
For more information, please contact Alex Popescu, Director of Annual Giving, at email@example.com or 562.907.4214.

General Motors said last week that it will recall 112,000 2016 through 2018 model year Chevrolet Cruze compact cars over a concern that their fuel tanks could leak in the event of a major rear impact.
The recall covers a specific Cruze configration: the Cruze LS with a tire inflator kit rather than a spare tire. In GM's internal testing, the automaker found that in a crash-test that involved a rear impact followed by a rollover, the Cruze LS could leak fuel from its gas tank. GM found that the leak occurred when the vehicle's vapor pressure sensor came into contact with the buckled rear floor panel after the wreck.
MORE: Read our 2018 Chevrolet Cruze review
GM said it isn't aware of any incidents of fuel leaks having actually occurred, but that it will recall the 112,000 affected compact sedans to install a lock ring to cover the vapor pressure sensor.
The fix will be completed at no charge to customers. The automaker hasn't said when it will begin sending notices to owners of affected vehicles. The automaker also issued a stop-sale to its dealers for any affected Cruzes in inventory.
Notably, the recall covers only a single trim level of the Cruze. Higher-specification Cruze trims feature a standard spare tire, rather than an inflator kit, that inadvertently helps to shield the fuel tank.

I haven't used ASP in ages and can't remember how to do a thing. I have a select listbox in a form, and need each option to hold two pieces of information, a name and an email address. I remember something about having the value of the option be something like "name,email".
upon submittal, I have some CDO mail functions that needs to pull out the email that was Selected, and the name value to be placed in the email body. Can someone point me to a resource showing how to pull those values out so I can assign them to a variable? No amount of Googling has helped me find an answer!
