FBI: Hotel Internet Connections Unsafe
News updates all day from your Fast Company editors.
The government agency known as the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) just went public with the news that the FBI is investigating multiple cases of malware installed via hotel Internet connections.
According to the IC3, travelers' laptops have been infected with malware after using hotel Internet connections--guests logging in to hotel networks were given prompts to update "a widely used software product." The IC3 did not specify at what hotels or in what countries the attacks took place, but warned that government, private industry, and academic personnel traveling abroad pay special attention to any anomalies on their hotel Internet connection.

No. 28 Florida Atlantic University won its 17th straight consecutive game, beating Atlantic Sun member Jacksonville State University 12-3. FAU improves to 24-6, 7-0 A- Sun while JSU falls to 13-15, 1-8 A-Sun.
FAU starter Chris Pillsbury pitched five innings, struck out two and walked only one to earn his sixth win of the season and remain undefeated. He was relieved by James Callahan, Jim Cooney and Matt O'Brien. The trio struck out four and gave up two earned runs.
After allowing the lead off hitters to get on base in the first three innings, Pillsbury worked out of the jam each time with a double-play. He ended the lead off streak in the fourth when he recorded his two strikeouts.
After scoring eight runs in the first two innings, Florida Atlantic was held hitless in the third and fourth. With two outs in the first Mike Cox posted a single to put two men on for Atlantic Sun Player-of-the-Week, Matt Pali. Pali hit his seventh homer of the season and posted three RBI on the play.
The second inning looked almost identical. Gabe Somarriba hit his third home run to right-center field with two on to give FAU a 7-0 lead. Somarriba led the team with three RBI. FAU would score two more earned runs in the sixth after Mike Valdes delivered a double to start the inning.
Bobby Spano went 2-for-2 with two walks to increase his team-leading walk total to 26.
JSU tallied three runs in the last four innings as they collected five hits off of the FAU relievers.
Only two of the runs were earned.

To add to this question, we can't create any minifigure at all even if it's from official parts (such as a bruce banner fig, or for that matter tony stark not in iron man suit)?
no, minifigs must be kept whole and be an official lego released minifig. no custom figures, even if you frankenstein a minifigure out of official elements, it won't be allowed.

All of the Lone Ranger sets were on display, although the minifigures for 4 of the sets were not present at the Toy Fair ... they were all replaced with standard yellow figures. The release date were were given was 19th July, although the dealer catalogue I have suggests May. The sets overall looked really good and may we drive a resurgence is interest in cowboy themes. The guy who was showing us these sets said that the Lone Ranger figure is different in each set, although I can't vouch for that as we didn't see all the variants.
79106 Cavalry Builder Set ... a nice little "battle pack" set, with 3 cavalry figure and the Lone Ranger. Comes with a horse (the one that can rear up, that first came in the LOTR sets) and a small fort & cannon. Price point £11.99.
79107 Comanche Camp ... a set consisting of a wigwam, canoe and a scorpion pit. Comes with 3 figures, Lone Ranger, Tonto and Chief Redmeat (if I heard my audio recording correctly). Price point £19.99.
79108 Stagecoach Escape ... a pretty nice looking stagecoach (with proper suspension), featuring 5 minifigures ... Tonto, Lone Ranger, 2 bad guys and Red Harrington, plus 3 horses. Apparently, the safe that's on top of the Stagecoach was a Lego invention and they liked it so much, they put it in the film! Price point £29.99.
79109 Colby City Showdown ... a bank and a jail, both of which have plenty of play features where parts of the sets will blow up ... a safe, the front of the bank and the jail cell. Figures include 2 bad guys, Dan Reid, Tonto and the Lone Ranger. Price point £39.99.
79110 Silver Mine Shootout ... a pretty nice playset, again featuring parts of the set that will blow up. Set features Tonto, the Lone Ranger, 2 baddies and another Indian. There seemed to be some nice chrome silver parts too (Coins, bullion bars etc), which is the treasure the baddie is trying to steal, I assume. Price point £69.99.
79111 Constitution Train Chase ... a great looking train, including a complete circle of track and seven minifigures - Rebecca Reid, Tonto, Lone Ranger, Rebecca Reid's son, cavalry officer (that had a rather nice cavalry hat and hair mold) and another bad guy who also has a working gattling gun, which was a good play feature indeed. Price point £79.99.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
As the President of Kirschenmann Family Farms in North Dakota I know how important affordable capital is for the next generation of farmers to enter the farming business. We have a young family managing our farm for us in North Dakota and it is my goal to have them eventually own enough of the farm so they can support their own family into the future. Since North Dakota is the only state with a state owned bank, the state has had the opportunity to launch a lending program for beginning farmers which
makes capital available to them at a little below 2% interest. This has made a huge difference. This young family now owns 240 acres of our farm with a farmstead and we look forward to them owning more of it shortly. Low interest loans, I believe, are critical to sustaining an adequate farm population to meet our food production needs. and as we are learning almost every day, farmers producing food in and for thier own communities is becoming increasingly critical to the food security ofour
communities. So I hope the FCS will support the effort to make low interest loans available to small and midsize farmers.

I just love this picture of my Allie and her Paperback Pup. The lighting, the curls, her little lips and chubby cheeks, I love it.
She has her father’s nose and high forehead.
I think she was watching television. She is obsessed with tv to my chagrin. Every time we’re in the living room, she picks up the remote and says, More? More?
When I tell her “No more,” she asks again. More? More?
This repeats at least five times before she gets mad and walks away or I give in and turn on the tv.
As part of my ongoing relationship with Build-A-Bear Workshop, we get new furry friends every month. This one, Paperback Pup, is especially dear to Allie. She toddles around the house every day with him tucked under her arm.
When she puts him back and then rediscovers him a few minutes later, her face lights up, and she says Woof! Woof! Puppy! Woof! Woof!
She is communicating really well all of a sudden after almost no words for many months.
We made her a cat at Grace’s Build-A-Bear birthday party, and she treats it the same way. Sometimes, she carries both. It’s quite a sight since each one is close to her size. I haven’t gotten a picture of that yet, but I hope to.

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is doing ok on this wet and windy Monday! I went for a scan today. Had a trans vaginal ultra sound to look at my tubes and ovaries. I'm CD 12 today. My right ovary was doing nothing my left ovary had got a small number of small follicles. The biggest was 13mm which is small for mid cycle but my lining looked good. My tubes also looked clear
Any thoughts? This is a natural cycle. I'll see the doc half way through next cycle to discuss going to the next level of tx.
What do people think. My last cycle was 32 days so could it be a late ovulation or am I too inactive on my old ovaries to achieve anything???
Thanks

Depends on how long your cycles are, but i am a 31 day- 32 day cycle and i got lh surge on cycle day 13 and 14, could just be an off month, i think on natural cycles a follicle is supposed to be a bit bigger than that, did they check your LH levels or anything?

We were fortunate to have Dr. Mohammad M. Maula from Harrisburg Area Community College teach Environmental Science at FGCC in the fall term of 2011.
I would like to highlight a few milestones in Dr. Maula’s life. He got a M. Sc. in Zoology from the University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India. He then lectured at Surendranath College in Kolkata, India for 20 years. From 1976 to 1985 Dr. Maula studied German at the Goethe Institut in Kolkata and in 1980 Dr. Maula spent some time at the Goethe Institut in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany. In 1982 he received the Lehrersprachdiplom and taught “Deutsch als Fremsprache” for 4 years. In 1985 Dr. Maula went to the USA and in 1993 he completed a Ph.D. in Zoology (Marine Biology) at the University of Maryland at College Park. After being a Postdoctoral Fellow at Howard University, Washington, DC, he became an Associate Professor of Zoology at Voorhees College, South Carolina in 1994. Then in August 1997 he became a Professor of Biology at Lancaster Campus of the Harrisburg Area Community College.
And here now some pictures of Dr. Maula lecturing at FGCC.

Once again FHS girls achieved extremely impressive A Level grades with 21.4% of results at the new A* grade. The total of 85.7 % of grades at A*/A/ B surpassed last year's very good results.
Despite the concern in the press about the shortage of university places, our girls have almost all achieved places at their chosen universities.
Congratulations to all of our Upper Sixth and we wish them every success in the future.
Well done also to our Year 11 who achieved a very creditable set of GCSE results too.

South Carolina points finger at lack of encryption
The full scope of the massive data breach of the South Carolina Department of Revenue is still making headlines.
The data included 3.8 million social security numbers and information on 1.9 million dependants. Information from 699,900 businesses was compromised, along with 3.3 million bank accounts and 5,000 credit card numbers.
The data was stolen by a pretty prosaic method. An employee opened an email sent by a phisher, which allowed the phisher to obtain a username and password to access the system via Citrix.
"From there, the hacker installed various tools that captured user account passwords on six servers. The hacker eventually gained access to three dozen other systems…The hacker used at least 33 unique utilities and malware, including password dumping tools, administrative utilities, batch scripts, and generic database command utilities. The hacker used a utility called 7-Zip to compress information, creating 15 encrypted archived files that, if uncompressed, contained 74.7GB of data. The data was moved to another server within DOR before it was eventually moved to another system on the Internet," according to a story in IDG.
Unfortunately, some of the most sensitive information, such as SSNs, was unencrypted. For this oversight, the state is pointing its finger at the IRS. The governor has written to the IRS asking that it require that all SSNs are encrypted. There is nothing preventing states from going above and beyond current requirements, and the state has plans to move to encryption all on its own.
This is a wake up call for other states. States near South Carolina were quick to point out that they already encrypt all data. Encryption as preventative measure is hard to argue against. Consider NASA, which is moving to implement full disk encryption on agency laptops after one containing unencrypted personal information on a 'large' number of people was recently stolen. The laptop was stolen from a locked car.

Czech Republic 4-8 Portugal: Joel's finishing just too hot
With this emphatic win, Portugal have set up a titanic Iberian struggle to decide who goes through to the semi-finals of the FIFA Futsal World Championship Chinese Taipei 2004.
"Our strategy was to press the Czechs in the middle of the court but we failed to do that at times in the first half. But after half-time we got that sorted and I was very pleased with our finishing tonight," said a contented Portuguese coach Orlando Duarte afterwards.
Portugal came into this game a point ahead of the Czech Republic after their creditable 0-0 draw with Italy. This result looked even more impressive after the Azzurri beat the World Champions in the preceeding match.
Spain coach Javier Lozano had named Portugal as one of the five teams who could win the tournament. They started in fine style - Joel Queiros steering Goncalo's lob through Jan Klima's legs.
The Czech's appeared unconcerned that Lozano had not mentioned them in his famous five. They hit back within three minutes - Vit Blazej volleying in Michal Mares' free-kick. Portugal's lead was restored when the excellent Joel Queiros was left unmarked to slot in at the far post.
The Czech Republic hadn't read the script and Orlando Duarte's team seemed uncharacteristically slack in defence. Michal Striz's charges hit back to lead 3-2 - David Levcik worked superbly down the right to square for a tap-in for Roman Musial and Daniel Rajnoch's pass was expertly controlled his thigh and dispatched by Martin Dlouhy.
The counter attacking game of the East Europeans was causing Portugal problems, but they received a boost just on half-time as Ivan toe-poked into the top corner to send the sides in 3-3 at the break.
Duarte's half-time talk certainly had an effect - his team went 5-3 ahead just two minutes into the second half. Goncalo's fierce left wing cross found skipper Andre tearing in at the far post to volley home, then a fine move involving Joel Queiros, Andre and Goncalo saw the latter give his side a two goal advantage.
From here the game seemed relatively easy for Portugal. They were able to soak up the Czech pressure and twice more they caught them on the break with picture-book goals - Ivan nutmegging a defender with his pass for Leo to score coolly, then a great dummy by Israel left him in space to collect Leo's long pass and although Klima stopped his effort, Goncalo followed up to score. Blazej's made it 4-7 with a clever toe-poke over the dives of both Ivan and Joao Benedito, before Joel Queiros made it 8-4 and a hat-trick from the 10m mark.
"The goal just before half-time and the two immediately afterwards cost us the game. I am very proud of our team - don't forget we are all amateurs playing against three professional outfits," Czech coach Michal Striz said after the game.

Bayern sweep four past Nurnberg
Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga with another comfortable victory, this time beating local rivals Nurnberg 4-0 at the Allianz Arena.
Mario Gomez scored a brace, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery were also on target for the home side, who eased through the second half with their UEFA Champions League tie against Napoli next Wednesday in sight.
Nurnberg never posed a threat to Manuel Neuer's goal as the Bayern goalkeeper kept yet another clean sheet, his ninth of the season in the league.
Bayern were ahead after just 85 seconds when Gomez headed in Schweinsteiger's cross from the right wing, and Gomez then turned provider for Schweinsteiger for the second goal in the 19th minute.
A good exchange between Ribery and Philipp Lahm down the left allowed the Bayern full-back to enter the area and pull the ball back for Gomez, who laid it off for Schweinsteiger to finish from over 20 yards.
As if Bayern were not dominant enough, Timmy Simons almost helped them out by going close to scoring an own goal in the 25th minute. Bayern did not need any favours, though, even if Ribery was invited to make one of his trademark runs in from the left before shooting past Alexander Stephan to score their third in the 39th minute.
Gomez almost made it four in the 66th when he took the ball past Stephan, but Philipp Wohlscheid was covering to clear the ball away from the open goal and behind for a corner.
The German international did score the fourth two minutes later, though. Toni Kroos raced through from what appeared to be an offside position and took the ball to the goal line before crossing low to Gomez, who tapped in with his left foot from point-blank range.
It was Bayern's 30th goal in 11 matches and enough for them to win their eighth game to establish a four-point advantage over Schalke at the top of the table.

ARMY is wary of the Rika brothers in the Sarafui team ahead of their clash in the Suva Cricket Association (SCA) club competition semi-finals at Albert Park tomorrow.
The defending champions are the hot favourites to retain the title but team manager Akuila Nawai said the Rika brothers and Sarafui team manager/player Alex Konrote would be the force to reckon with in the decider.
Former Fiji skipper Joe Rika joined his brother Colin in Sarafui this year and many believe his inclusion helped the team reach the semi-final stage after a long time.
Nawai said the HMT-sponsored Army was not underestimating Sarafui especially after the latter's brilliant performance last season.
"We look forward to a tough game and hope Sarafui gives us stiff competition. In cricket anything can happen and we are not taking Sarafui lightly," he said.
Nawai said the team was focusing on getting the players' fitness back on top following a two-week break last month.
He said the players were given leave during the festive season and they resumed training from this week.
"The focus is on the basic skills of cricket. The main factor is fitness and we are hoping to improve it by Saturday," Nawai said.

A MAN who initially pleaded guilty to murder yesterday has been given time by the High Court in Labasa to reconsider his plea.
Justice Daniel Goundar asked Mohammed Shahim to reassess his plea after learning of his background of poverty.
Shahim allegedly killed a five-year-old boy with his fist on January 28 last year.
Yesterday he was represented by Legal Aid lawyer Mele Lemaki.
Mr Shahim told the court he had lived in a two-bedroom house in Labasa without electricity supply with his five children and three adults, and depended on homegrown vegetables for meals.
He said his family earned about $40 a week and that they usually fetched water from a nearby well for drinking, washing and cooking. Mr Shahim said the victim and his mother moved in with them for about one year before he decided to chase them away.
Justice Goundar said it was only proper for the accused to think about his plea carefully so he wouldn't regret it later.
"Be mindful that the maximum sentence for murder is life imprisonment and I don't want you to regret pleading guilty to the charge for the rest of your life," he said.
State lawyer Sekonaia Vodokisolomone did not object to the decision.
Justice Goundar demanded the presence of the victim's mother in court for evidence.
He told Mr Shahim to seek forgiveness from the victim's mother so he would have peace.
The case will be called again at 10am today.

Do I have to say this article contains spoilers? Fine. It contains bloody spoilers.

Anticipation can be a bitch. Expectations can lead to disappointment. Hype can be a killer. Christopher Nolan’s epic conclusion to his Dark Knight trilogy has to deal with all three nuisances, and he flicks them aside like villain Bane does Batman, the entire Gotham police force and everyone else who makes the mistake of crossing his path.

Read FilmJabber’s full Cars 2 in a London slum overrun by teen violence. Similar to Matthieu Kassovitz’ great film La Haine, Harry Brown provides a strong commentary on teen violence and the cyclical nature of violence, while never feeling heavy-handed. As opposed to La Haine, which tells the story from the viewpoint of three rough-and-tough youths, Harry Brown is told primarily through the eyes of Harry, an elderly man who takes it upon himself to help clean up the streets after his good friend is beaten to death by hoodlums,. While not as visually striking as Kassovitz’ film, director Daniel Barber takes what could have been a very generic story and infuses it with an energy that continuously pushes the film to the brink of acceptability, keeping the audience both entertained and unsettled at all times.

SXSW 2012 Review: ‘Just Like Being There’ Pays Tribute to Modern Art’s True Heroes, Struggles to Find FocusMovie Review By Neil Miller on March 12, 2012 | Be the First To Comment media. From mp3 downloads to streaming films to podcasts and the like, we spend so much of our time consuming everything we can get our hands on. Lost, in so many instances, are the opportunities to experience things. So in those increasingly rare instances — that time you saw The Black Keys play in a basement in Akron, Ohio, the time Tokyo Police Club played that tiny club in Buffalo, NY — it’s wonderful to have connective tissue to that experience. Such is the brilliance of a good gig poster. One look and you’re transported back to that experience. And the emotion you feel for that experience is no different than the emotion expended to make said poster. Therein lies the brilliance of what is exposed within Scout Shannon’s directorial debut: it’s not about the art, so much as it is about how the art makes us feel.

Dr. No
Upon realising that I have not written many James Bond related film reviews in my time at FilmsClick, I have decided that it’s high time we introduced a project I have been secretly working on for quite some time. In celebration of this amazing British franchise I will be reviewing the first official 20 Bond films – one per day – starting all the way at the beginning with the first official movie, Dr No, and finishing up with the 20th, Die Another Day.
In 1962 when Harry Saltzman and Albert “Cubby” Broccoli decided to bring Ian Fleming’s fictional super spy James Bond to the big screen they perfectly cast Sean Connery for the role. After much consideration for many actors, Sean Connery was chosen despite being practically unknown and he kicked off what has been the most successful film series of all time with Dr. No.
The story sees James Bond (Sean Connery) being sent over to Jamaica in order to investigate mysterious radioactive waves which are interfering with the U.S. missile launches, as well as the disappearance of a colleague. With charm, style, action and wit 007 locates Dr. No’s lair and with the assistance of the beautiful Honey Rider (Ursula Andress) defeats him, as you might suspect, in a great final bout.
Dr. No is regularly misunderstood as a Bond film and for whatever reason is often given appallingly low ratings. I personally love it. Dr No is very stylish, incredibly cool, and Connery’s intro is a masterpiece in film making; in fact this is often considered to be one of the coolest character introductions in cinematic history.

If you believe in capitalism, like this woman probably does, than you have to believe a few things.
1. To become rich, you must be talented and intelligent.
2. Major corporate heads and Wall Street players are rich and donate to the Obama campaign.
So either they hate the own system they profited from or they are sadists. Either way it is dumb. Obama is one of the most right-wing Presidents we have ever had.

Ole and Mari Finnestad had 11 children (7 girls & 4 boys).
Maria and Barnel died as infants in Norway.
Bert died in Outlook, Saskatchewan.
The rest of the Finnestad siblings died in the United States. I have posted photos of all of the headstones except for Maria and Barnel in Norway, Elizabeth and Rachel (those will be forthcoming) and the twins, Iverdine and Bertha.
While I know the dates Iverdine and Bertha passed away, I've been unable to locate their final resting place. However, the other night I decided to go through the Calvary Lutheran Church records and located confirmation of Bertha's burial.
According to the church records, Bertha's husband, Ole Andreas Haaland handled the burial on April 30, 1929. While funeral services may have been held at the church, I am waiting on confirmation from the Union Cemetery sexton (next door to the church) and the funeral home, Unger Horner to verify the location of burial. I'm not sure Unger Horner handled either funeral but they did handle many of the Finnestad family.

Even).
Since losing to Longford Town on May 11th last, Waterford have won all eight games since then – seven in the league and one in the FAI Cup. Two of their last three games have seen them beat the top two of Limerick and Longford and they go into Friday’s game just four points off the top of the table.
Harps go into the game on the back of a three game unbeaten run with their only defeats in the last six games coming at the hands of the top two.
Last weekend, Harps looked like they had pulled off the perfect comeback in coming from 2-0 down against Wexford Youths at Finn Park, only for the visitors to snatch a last gasp equaliser with the last kick of the game to share the spoils in a highly entertaining 3-3 draw.
“It felt like a defeat, given that we had done so well to get back into the game,” said Harps boss Peter Hutton of the game.
“We gave them a two goal start and we worked extremely hard to get back into the game and take a 3-2 lead. So to throw it away with literally the last kick of the game is devastating. It’s very hard on the boys. For all their effort and endeavour they only get a point rather than the three.
“It would have been a massive three points,” said Hutton. It shows the exceptional resilience and character of the boys to get themselves back into he game and into a leading position. But I suppose you have to say, fair play to Wexford too. They just kept plugging away and unfortunately we didn’t clear our lines with seconds to go. It was probably a bit of inexperience and naivety as well. We tried to stay on the ball when we shouldn’t have, we should have just put it out and over the stand. Even the equaliser, it was so fortuitous. The boy just hits a shot and it comes off James Doherty’s heel and just loops up over Ciaran (Gallagher).”
Although Harps haven’t the best of records at the RSC against Waterford, their last two visits there have seen them unbeaten. In September last year, Harps left with a share of the spoils after a scoreless draw. Earlier this season, on the last day of March, a Paul Simon Tracey strike coupled with a Waterford own goal was enough to give Harps a 2-0 victory – their first in Waterford since 2001.
“We’ll look forward to it. We won there the last time, it was the time Ciaran Gallagher got the bad injury,” Hutton said of the trip to the south-east.
“It’s a good venue and a good pitch. Waterford are on a great run at the moment. They are one of the form teams, themselves and Limerick. They are up there and for a lot of people they were possible candidates for promotion this year. You can see now why, they are getting bodies back that they didn’t have for much of the season.
“But we fear no-one. I think there is a very fine line in regards to the rest of the teams in the league. If we acquit ourselves like we did for the second half and the last 15 minutes of the first half (against Wexford), then I think we’ll give them a right good game.”

"There are no red flags," he said.
All of the affected businesses experienced smoke and water damage, he said. The plaza's facade took the brunt of the flames, forcing demolition crews to strip it off Tuesday for safety.
Sean Jones, fire rescue chief at Natrona Heights Citizens Hose Company, said it took crews more than three hours Monday night to control the flames, which officials believe started between J&S Pizza and a vacant business where a sleep clinic was about to open.
He said investigators estimated the damage at $10 million Tuesday. Up to 15 businesses were affected.
Three firefighters were treated for medical issues resulting from the stress of the fire, Chief Jones said. Two for chest pain were admitted to the hospital and one complaining of nausea was released.
The fire rekindled at the State Farm insurance building before 10 a.m. Tuesday, but crews were able to contain it in minutes, Chief Jones said. Firefighters also poured water atop the Dollar Bank, where people reported seeing smoke that morning.
Thirty fire companies responded.
"Besides the loss of tax revenue, it's going to affect a lot of families," said Harrison commission President George Conroy.
Chief Jones estimated at least 100 people would be out of work, including 35 to 40 J&S Pizza employees.
"This is the anchor store of this whole plaza," said owner Debora Malvone.
A Christmas tree stood intact inside the restaurant -- but unlit, as the affected stores remained without power.
Mr. Brucker said the direction of the wind Monday night blew the flames in such a way they more heavily damaged the facade of the shops near the end of the plaza.
Extra security on was duty Tuesday while crews were working, Chief Jones said. All the businesses are insured, he added, but Mr. Brucker said it will take time to contact each insurer.
Heights Plaza was built in the 1950s, and residents remember the mall as a location once popular for retail shopping and community activities around the holidays.

You’re watching everyone else get served and asking yourself, why can’t they make this faster? Why can’t they put more staff on? Why is my time being wasted in this queue?
You might be surprised to learn that the time you spend waiting in that queue has been mathematically calculated.
That’s right.
That place where you’re waiting knows exactly how long you will spend on hold, or standing in line and they balance that time against customer satisfaction levels…
The Simple Truth About Customer Satisfaction meet their expectations. They are really satisfied when you exceed their expectations but the simple truth behind happy customers is how well you set their expectations in the first place. Let me explain this marketing plan in more detail.
A Little Bit Of Little Goes A Long, Long Way
First up, let’s get the mathematics out of the way. Queuing theory is the study of queues. It sounds exciting doesn’t it? And you thought your job was boring. But in fact, queuing theory can tell us a lot of quite interesting information like fast your customers rock up to a queue, how long they have to wait and how quickly they are being served.
You can probably see that all these things are a pretty good indicator of how well your whole service delivery process is working.
In 1961 John Little realised that to reduce the length of a queue, you need to slow arrivals and you need to speed exits up. It sounds obvious doesn’t it? Little’s Law tells you how to reduce the size of your queue and it innovated a new way of thinking about the mechanisms of service delivery.
But what if you could make customers happy about being in the queue.
The Secret To Making Your Customers Queue Happily
Clearly it’s important to look for way to improve your service delivery process. While you’re doing that you can improve customer satisfaction levels by simply changing your customers’ perception of waiting.
Let them know how long they will have to wait.
Have you ever been on hold and heard the robot lady tell you that you are 5th in the queue and your waiting time is approximately 7minutes. Or the same voice telling you that the average waiting time right now is 17minutes. This is the information you use to decide to hang on or hang up – and thus your expectations are defined. When your call gets answered in 11minutes, you’re delighted!
Or you take a ticket and you see a big counter on the wall, calling the next number in the queue. You can see the progress being made and how quickly the numbers are changing, and from this you can work out how long you have to wait. There is no queue jumping either. It’s an orderly (if boring) wait for service.
Of course letting your customers know how long they can expect to wait will only work in your favour if the wait time is within their “acceptable wait” time for the value you offer.
Give your customers something to do while they are waiting.
This one is the secret gem of great customer satisfaction because it allows customers to become engaged in the process. And that helps them become connected to the outcome. They’re part of the results and that gives them a spot at the start of the tickertape parade that is their buying experience.
Regardless of whether you have a physical store, or you are online, never under-estimate the power of being part of the process in terms of customer satisfaction levels, even if it’s at a seemingly trivial level.
What it means in real life…
If you often have customers waiting in a physical location, look for ways to take any randomness out of the waiting process. Uncertainty causes anxiety, which leads all the way to angry customers!
Structure is the key. By adding some structure and surety to your customers wait time you will definitely boost your customer satisfaction levels.
- Acknowledge customers on arrival and let them know if there is a wait time
- Use a ticketing system that lets customer move around while maintaining their “spot”
- Take waiting customers past interesting (and distracting) displays
- Invite customers to participate in questionnaires or competitions while they wait
What it means online…
Even if you don’t have customers forming a literal queue, a virtual queue can quite easily form when you’re busy. Well done you if you’re busy but when you work online, it’s easy to miss the signals that your customers are getting annoyed…. Until they’ve gone to your competitor.
Transparency is the key. When you let your customers see that something is happening, you’re giving them the free set of steak knives of customer satisfaction.
- Look for non-essential milestones you can bring forward to get the ball rolling
- Create a delivery schedule so your customers know when they’ll hear from you
- Break your service into smaller segments and get customer involvement at each stage
- Regularly get in touch and keep your customers in the loop
Improving Customer Service Is Only Half The Solution
While you might prefer to pull out your eyelashes than read about the mathematics of queuing theory, you should be looking for ways to shorten your queue and delight your customers with amazing, personal, diligent customer service.
After you’ve improved your service delivery to the best it can possibly be, you can sky rocket their customer satisfaction by accurately setting expectations and helping them define what “satisfied” means.
When you do that, your customers will be happy before you deliver a single thing.
Do you think you can rock your customers’ world?.

Great Article!
Setting expectations is such an important part of good business. Too many people over promise and under deliver…
Instead just say, “You’re going to have to wait 3 minutes… Go get a cup of coffee and then we’ll get you a solution.”
Thanks,
Ryan H.
Belinda! Great stuff! When I started reading I thought this one going to be about that service-debacle copyblogger covered (omg, that was painful lol –
)
I’m pleased it was about queue theory, and it was extremely enlightening. There are many things I could apply from this.
I tend to focus on clarity, and see the deeper roots of any expression, and to me the deeper roots of this is a “focus on making the customers journey more joyful”.
If someone is focused on making the customers journey more joyful, they would basically HAVE to apply some queue theory eventually
So thank you, for helping me make my clients journey better, Belinda. You rock!
Hey Jason. Enlightening is fantastic feedback – thank you!
I love your idea about making the journey more *joyful* (doesn’t gamification follow this idea?) . Having been on many, many driving holidays as a child I always used to hear “the journey is just as important as the destination” (closely followed with “stop complaining”
Some customers will let the journey form their opinion of your service. Some will only care about the solution you leave them with. To make sure you capture the loyalty of both groups you should place your focus on both.
Keep bringing joy Jason!
My pleasure, and childhood wisdom is powerful
As for the two groups you outlined, I’d wager that if you were to take the ones who “only care about the solution” and put another solution in front of them with an understanbly more enjoyable journey… they WOULD join the first group
Just a hunch
Ryze up!
I actually think that the Copyblogger reference is related. If memory serves, that post suggests that most disputes can be easily resolved with kindness – or good manners. I resent waiting in a queue FAR less when I receive great customer service and attention (and even an apology for having to wait) once I’m at the teller. If you can mitigate the more frustrating (and often unavoidable) parts of doing business with a sunny disposition, exceptional products and services, and an acknowledgement of that frustration, I think you’re in good shape.
Agreed Ruth! Well said. Kindness helps so much
Thanks for the story (and acknowledgment)
And for the record, I wasn’t saying it wasn’t related, I just meant I’d read the copyblogger thing, and the intro paragraph felt very similar , my pre-conceived notions were doing their thing lol.
Yep I absolutely agree Ruth. Good (and timely) manners can help take you the distance and that’s the potential simplicity behind this idea. You don’t have to have expensive ticketing systems. What every service delivery process needs is to keep your customers’ needs front and centre.
Thanks for commenting!
Great post Belinda! Although I don’t have an actual queue that people have to wait it, it did get me thinking about my biz & what I can do to give my customers a better experience when it comes to waiting on services or coaching.
I always contact everyone with a personal email after they purchase something & let them know when they can expect it, but I never considered giving them something to do while they wait. So my plan is to link them to awesome info on my blog that has to do with what they’re looking for from me so they can be reading on that until we have our coaching session or they get one of my programs. Thanks so much for the idea!
That’s a fantastic application Meagan. I have a similar “virtual” queue and might just pinch your ‘read these related blogs’ idea! By personalising the information you are pointing them to, so that it’s relevant to their scenario, you are also personalising your service which is a win-win!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
You’re welcome & pinch away!
Someone should have told to John Little that to reduce queues you just have to have more employers, or faster ones.
I see your point and it’s interesting but if I don’t know if a customer needs and wants something else than a quick answer. I mean while letting him know how much time he has to wait for an answer is correct being entertained might just make him angry. That’s why those who provide an answer in minutes, at least online, are at the top of their business. Provided the answer received comes from someone who knows what he’s talking about.
WWhat do you think?
Ooh, that’s a great thought, hypnodude.
I think really knowing your customers/clients especially works hand-in-hand with this idea. One customer could have the patience of Job and be willing to have some fun throughout the process, but another customer might want it and want it *now*. You’d definitely have to pinpoint the type of customer you’re working with, and the kind of relationship you have with them, in order to really be successful with this.
Plus, I also agree that it’s important to establish where you stand right away and provide an answer from the get-go, first. Like you said Belinda, it’s about defining expectations.
Thanks Tanya. You’re right, actually on the net I don’t have customers but just readers anyway knowing your audience is surely the first thing to do and then act accordingly for a mutual satisfaction.
Belinda, what an awesome idea! Takes me back to waiting on the phone for tech support.
This is something I can really use, at the very least in my author/writer interactions. I’m always beta reading novel manuscripts for friends, but I’m also always doing a million things at once. I feel just awful during the times I keep them waiting in their “queue” for long periods of time, so I see now that it would be great for me to work on ideas to keep them engaged while I’m still working on it. Even lately I’ve done it on an unconscious level, giving a writer friend small updates on my thoughts while I work on the larger project as a whole.
I’m excited to look at this in different ways though, see how else and in what other areas business-wise I can apply this. Thanks for a super post! I really enjoyed it.
Great application Tanya.
I think that if a client has to chase me up then I’ve failed because I didn’t get them a clear roadmap or I’m not sticking to my roadmap. Just chatting to them about their project shows them that you’re doing something which is a bridge over the empty “what’s going on” void that leads to frustration.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I’d love to learn any new ways you find to apply the idea!
Hey hypnodude, Knowing your customers’ pain points is really important if you are going to deliver outstanding service.
In the scenario you detailed it sounds like time is a critical factor. If your customers need a quick answer you should do everything in your power to provide it. If you can’t then you’re already fighting an uphill battle and will have to work extra hard to keep your customers onside.
Allocating more resources isn’t always the most efficient solution (or possible) so having a plan to ensure your customers are still delighted, using the resources you have, can still lead you to a great outcome.
As you said, if a customer has to wait you should tell them straight away, and how long — so they can set their expectations. If he solution they get is exactly what they want then the wait won’t seem so important. If it’s not, then it will become a big part of their recollection. This is where you might include an offer or guarantee as part of your service delivery. If you don’t get an answer in X or you’re not satisfied, we’ll give you BLAH. This will help balance any feelings of frustration because you are actively demonstrating your commitment to achieving their outcome.
But time isn’t critical to every customer. Nor budget. I’ve had customers wait months for my services which means I have to understand what their primary concern is and make sure that’s what I’m also focused on. This kind of virtual queue is much like Meagan’s scenario, which is an opportunity to engage them in other areas of your service delivery while they wait.
Wow that was a long one. Let me know what you think.
You’re right Belinda, everything is correct. However some times lowering earnings a bit and allocating more resources can with time give much better results through a great customer service. A satisfied customer is always the best possible promotion. At least in the real world, it might be different on the net though.
Thanks for your answer.
You make an excellent point hypnodude – about potentially reducing profits to ensure your service delivery is all it needs to be. A satisfied customers *are* the best promotion and word of mouth marketing be a poooowerful beast.
Hi Belinda,
I have never put much thought into queue theory before but I guess it makes a lot of sense. But wait….does this mean there is some clever reason behind so many telephone queues using that annoying version of Greensleeves? lol
Thanks – Jay
Haha! Greensleeves, no but “your call will be answered in 3 minutes”, yes.
Hmmm unless they need to you to be a little bit INSANE by the time they answer in which case Greensleeves, yes!
This is a great article Belinda. As I get older (and I’m probably showing my age) I have become a stickler for customer service and this article reminds me of my most recent experiences receiving terrible customer service. I’ve had some pretty interesting real-life examples of customer service gone wrong over the last couple of months, most notably by telecommunication companies. Perhaps that won’t come as any surprise to anyone but in both cases, they should have been unavoidable.
Just this week, I had lunch in a cafe and let’s just say this particular business owner clearly does not understand the concept of lifetime customer – and it was all over 50 cents. If I was the cafe owner I would have written off the 50 cents but in my mind this particular business owner is far more short-sighted that I am. It’s his loss because I now have a perception in my mind of how this business owner conducts and operates his business. It’s such a shame because it didn’t need to be this way.
Anyway this article is a great reminder for anyone working online or offline that service delivery is so important to ensure your customers/readers/followers etc receive te best possible customer service experience you can give them.
Thanks for sharing your experience Shae. It sounds painful!
Customer service has always been important but thanks to social media we can share poor customer service with more people than ever before. Some businesses still don’t have their head around that and they suffer for it. Online or offline, good service delivery is our basic expectation!
Great work Belinda! A few really good points, I sent it off to a client who I think will get some good tips from it.
Thanks for sharing it Chris. I hope they can pick out some nuggets to improve their service delivery.
Great post! I can see this applying to my emails. It can take a week or two to get back to people sometimes, I need an auto responder that lets them know that I am not ignoring them personally, I just have too many emails!
Thanks Serena. I’m glad you were able to pick out some useful points for your business.
I think an auto responder is a great idea! I’ve been on the receiving end of one telling me that the person I was trying to contact only checked their emails at 10am and 4pm. It made me realise that my timeline wasn’t necessarily everyone’s and made me much more patient.
Thanks for leaving a comment. Feel free to share this with your coaching network!
I don’t know if the auto responder is a good idea. I came across with one in the past and it looked a bit silly. It was a live chat auto responder, so you can imagine, how useful it was.
But for the automatic email responding is a good idea.
Yeah those live chat auto responders can be as annoying as hell!
When it comes to email responders, I love to put a bit of personality into it so the reader (who has taken the time to email me) doesn’t feel put off by the fact my computer is talking to them. I appreciate it when other people do the same, which links nicely to Cassie’s post!
Great article Belinda. I agree making people happy (whether business, marketing or relationships!) is all about setting expectations. If you can set the right expectation, and communicate effectively, you’re probably in the top 2% of customer service.
Tanya and I had a comment thread going yesterday about how to keep track of contacts. I think services like Hootsuite and Aweber help. The key is probably to automate as much as possible, but of course, we then have our “A” list contacts/clients and prospects that deserve more personalised attention.
My challenge is how to keep track of them. It’s when people fall through the cracks they end up waiting too long for a reply and then they justifiably feel your customer service and attention is bad.
At the moment I’m with Jason Fonceca in that I use Excel to track as much as possible. I’ve tried Zoho and Outlook but both seem too wieldy as CRM systems. I think Icontact is probably one of the best ways to manage your prospects but at $200pcm + it’s expensive and you’d need sufficient online income to warrant an investment of this magnitude.
Good luck in the competition!
Hey Cassie – thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I use CapsuleCRM to manage my contacts and I love it. It’s social media friendly, affordable (I think it’s even free up to 500 contacts), has a task manager and integrates with Google Apps. But I still need a structured service delivery process that guides me through the various stages and reminds me to do things like explain my creative process, notify clients of milestones and follow up with progress notifications.
As great as business support tools are, they are only as strong as your service delivery process (IMHO
.
Service delivery process priority duly noted, and couldn’t agree more!
Thanks for the CRM suggestion – I love anything that syncs with Google apps and social media so will check it out. It might be just what’s needed, and great to have it recommended by you.
Jeez I hope I didn’t sound like a school marm in my last comment. “Now remember everyone, you must have a process!”
I’d love to get your impression of Capsule once you have a look!
Tell it like it is girl!!
Thanks for the shout-out Cassie
I also liked your IContact suggestion, I’ve not tried it, but it sounds interesting
Maybe I’ll design a Ryze Contacts system at the right time, with the right collaborators
Hey Jason, Belinda recommended CapsuleCRM which is free so I’m going to check that out. It syncs with Google Apps so is probably the one for me (without so much as a first date! LOL!).
Maybe the whole community will pick it up
I just checked all the pricing and features (for CapsuleCRM) and the fancy integration comes with the Professional edition which is $12 p/month. But the free version has quite a bit of space and all the other functionality (like cases, opps, tasks, and the email dropbox).
PS I don’t earn a commission from these guys!
Thanks for this Belinda.
To me it’s pretty much always good to promote things you believe in with good intentions.
If you somehow manage to acquire income by doing so, more power to you.
Some people start judging as soon as *money* is ever involved.
Well, I prefer people to get paid for doing (and promoting) what they love. Keep doing your thing Belinda. You rock.
I’ll have to check CapsuleCRM out too, thanks Belinda for the recommendation! Even if doesn’t come with a commission for you. Ha.
Love this article. It does sound obvious and yet so many sites/shops/companies don’t do it!
Even as a writer I have to manage expectations:
- Scoping the project carefully so that I never have to up my quote
- Breaking the project into chunks so that the client never has to wait too long
- Giving the client clear instructions of what to do while they are waiting (gathering assets, reviewing content etc).
- Always slightly under promising on timings to that I can hopefully over deliver.
Great post Belinda, I agree with Jason, you rock!
I’m feeling the love guys!
Thanks for sharing your key points Kate. I think as freelancers we have to pay special attention to managing our client expectations. We don’t have a shop or fancy office (well I don’t anyway) and our credibility is built on our reputation. That reputation is created by the clients we leave behind us.
I wonder if online businesses do this better — because we rely so heavily on other ways to build a strong relationship with our clients.
Do bricks and mortar make businesses lazy? I’d love your thoughts….
That’s an interesting thought, Belinda! I really do think that online businesses and entrepreneurs have more of a mind for this because you’re right in that we rely so heavily on reputation, and new methods, to do a lot of the work for us. Not all bricks and mortar businesses are lazy of course, but I’m sure they have more of a tendency to lean in that direction. Especially in the area of new technologies that might not necessarily be their expertise, but could benefit their business – and their customers.
I agree Tanya. I would hate to make a blanket generalisation but I think there is a certain image/status/message that comes with a bricks and mortar business. Even if it’s a simple office. It lends itself to saying “I’ve done well enough to have this space so you can trust me” but it also says “Now you’re in my world you have to follow my process….”
I imagine it becomes harder to remain flexible to your market’s needs. I expect the ideas behind queuing theory would become even more important – as the service delivery process comes with more risk [higher overheads etc]. Hmmm *brain spinning off in new directions*
Belinda, you went way beyond, “Have good customer service” in this in-depth piece. You covered just enough queuing theory to be helpful without being boring.
I love it when a website gives me different ways to get help–phone, email, chat. And when I have to engage in back-and-forth email, I most like the firms that let me stick with one person. I’m really impressed with companies that follow up to make sure everything worked out; AWeber did that for me recently, and I was genuinely pleased.
We are all in the business of service, whether it’s hard goods, digital goods, or processes that we are selling.
Good luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Joel!
You allude to a important side effect of setting your customer expectations and that’s the feeling of safety. Fear and uncertainty are extremely powerful emotions that can quick destabilize your service delivery. On the other hand when your customers understand your process, know how long they might have wait or deal with the same person, they have a greater sense of surety and safety in your (seemingly more) capable hands. That’s definitely worth the effort. definitely appreciate it.
Hey Lacey, sorry about that – this one got stuck in spam, too, but I’ve rescued it, and I’ll watch closely to make sure your comments don’t get lost in the future.
As for first-time blogging advice, have you download my book, Engagement from Scratch!? (for free?)
I will second this. Danny’s book, Engagement From Scratch is a WEALTH of information and can SKYROCKET almost any blog endeavour.
I highly recommend the chapter on Business Models — it changed my life
And I will third that! I’m finding Engagement From Scratch SO valuable. I got so excited, I had to stop right in the middle and write down all these new ideas flooding into my head…and only just now realized I still have more to read! It’s awesome, well worth the read.
I am not surprised about this Danny Iny EFS love-fest. It is simply pure quality, accessible to anyone with a PC.
Great article Belinda, with some terrific insights. I would just say that there is another lens that can be brought to bare on this subject that might help to tie it all together. That is Queuing as a barometer of how well your organisation delivers your marketing plan.
Let’s be clear, by marketing plan I mean everything that it takes put your product or service into the hands of your target consumer. Your whole organisation from operations and finance to marketing and administration should be aligned to the promises you make in the brands you deliver through the products you put in the market. Activities that involve queuing are where the rubber hits the road where brand promise is turned into operational capability.
Consider, you sell tools. they’re great tools but they have a failure rate like everything else, yet you’ve done some amazeballs market research and found that this is the single biggest factor in decisions to buy by your target market. Accordingly you make the brand promise that no one will have more than 1 hour of down time through tool failure if they use your tools. That same market research has allowed you to put your return centres within 1 hour of the average + 2.5 st deviations from your target market. Sadly, last week you shipped a bad batch of tools to one location that sold like hot cakes but were defective leading to many returns at the same centre at the same time. So when you applied your erlang formulas to staffing the customer service centre did you take into account what promises had to be kept and how they were likely to be broken given your organisation’s structure and capability?
Queuing is an opportunity to turn belief in the brand promises into the truth of the delivery of those promises.
Again – love the article, well though out piece.
Thanks for leaving such a well thought out response Simon.
I love your line explaining that “Activities that involve queuing are where the rubber hits the road where brand promise is turned into operational capability.”
You are so right! Your business is absolutely judged on your performance at the client end of your marketing process, and those judgements impact your entire brand.
Great example too. It goes to show how much science there is behind process mechanism [in whatever form they take] and how you can use those numbers to work out things like the viability of your brand promises.
Thanks for commenting!
Something to think about! Thx!
Great article. Sometimes it’s the simple things that are often overlooked!
My personal opinion about queues is that as long as I can see some sort of progression, I can be understanding and tolerant of a long queue. It is very dependent on the service/product i’m queuing for though. Medicare for example; I don’t really want to be there, but I want some money back, so i’ll wait, staring patiently at the ticket number up on the screen and constantly rechecking my ticket. It’s not really a nice atmosphere either…..government department, sick people, noisy kids with runny noses…get me out of here!!!!
On the other hand, waiting for my morning coffee when the coffee shop is busy, is very different. I REALLY want my coffee, and most mornings I’d probably crawl over broken glass to get to that fresh espresso goodness!! You can also see that the shop is full of people, and you can see the barista busting out coffee after coffee like a well oiled machine, so you know that you’ll be served soon, and that your coffee isn’t too far away after that.
One thing I really like about where I get my coffee, is that they have an SMS ordering system. I can send my order over while I’m still at my desk at work, and then by the time I walk over the road, my coffee is waiting for me (or at least I’ve managed to jump the big queue of people lining up to place an order, which in itself is almost as satisfying as the coffee!)!
McDonalds is a good example of customer expectation and satisfaction when it comes to queues and waiting. Back in the day, there was rarely a wait on anything, as they had burgers lined up under the heat lamps ready to roll. But now everything is ‘made to order’ (at least everything is ‘assembled to order’ anyway) and there is a wait associated with it. People managed to adjust to the wait, because they were getting a better quality product (or at least the illusion of one) by waiting for it to be made (assembled).
Very busy McDonald ‘restaurants’ (such as Milton, near Suncorp Statium) have employed an ‘order while you queue’ system, where employees will approach you while you’re queuing to be served at the counter and take your order with a mobile device and give you a ticket number. Then all you need to do is get to the counter and pay for your order. Usually by this time your order is nearly ready. They’ve made queuing an efficient process!
Another example I find excellent (and it’s kind of still a queue), is after i’ve made a purchase online, you get the standard email of “thanks for your order”, but it’s really good when the online store has a logistics system that keeps you in the loop every step of the way: “your payment has been processed”, “your order is being picked”, “your order has been dispatched, here’s your tracking number”. There’s nothing worse than placing an order and sitting around for 2 weeks wondering if it’s on it’s way or if there’s been some sort of delay.
Simple things make the experience more satisfying and will ensure return business!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ben, and your examples. They are queuing theory in action! You make a great point about how much patient you are willing to be weighing up with the value you see in the end goal. You really love your coffee!
The government agency are undoubtedly aware that their system chokes up and isn’t enormously pleasant to be in, which is why the ticketing system is crucial for them, so you can measure your progress (and be more patient).
The coffee SMS ordering is very smart. You’re effectively queuing at your desk but you certainly don’t feel like it. This also has the benefit of showing the people waiting in the traditional queue that they can access a short cut next time, which kind of says “Hey, do you wanna be in this VIP club over here? You can!” There are loads of awesome subconscious messages being sent out.
And finally, the tracking mechanisms is pure genius. I can actually watch my packages travel the world! Customer service reps are never bothered with the tedious questions of “where’s my package? When will it be delivered?” and you know what? It’s kind of exciting to watch the progression. Maybe that’s just me?
Thanks again for sharing these examples. As you highlighted, they completely transform your experience as a customer so for any business, it’s worth pondering ways you can work on making that queue time more productive and/or enjoyable.
A very well put together posting, the content had me reading about being distracted during waiting times which is in itself a boring subject, however, I had completed the article before I was aware how much I read.
It was as if the writer really was following Little’s Law in copy write terms.
hehe the secret work of subheadings! Thanks for leaving such positive feedback Clare.
A great post Belinda but it had me thinking when was the last time I actually had to queue. It was probably a mere 5mins in the PO prior to Christmas so not really even enough to get me agitated. So much of what I require is organised online these days and hubby does the grocery shop, so no queues in the supermarket for me!
Ah you are lucky to have a queue-less life!
I know you own and run an extremely successful (and therefore busy) virtual assistant agency. I’d love to know how you handle your own service queues? Do clients ever have to wait for your services or does that go against your whole business value proposition?
don’tcha just hate queues! Almost as much as my hate for banks. Although the wait at my bank is nolonger the mind numbingly brutal chore it once was. My bank now has comfortable seating, a tv on and the time seams to pass quickly. You have time to stop, rest your feet and enjoy the air conditioning, whilst checking out whats happening on facebook! Great post Belinda.
Thanks for leaving a comment Louisa with such a lovely example of queuing theory in action! You are right – who likes waiting? Smart banks are totally onto this and you touched on a really important way they changed your perception — you aren’t queueing, you’re enjoying a rest stop.
And this can be applied to other industries. Not just ones with nice aircon
Making the waiting time productive (in addition to keeping customers informed at every turn) can really help make this shift in perspective.
Thanks again!
Belinda – I like the part about delighting the customer before you’ve delivered anything. I think that’s an important point that a lot of people forget. Thanks for the great post!
Thanks Tom! I firmly believe that your customer service experience begins well before you even talk to a customer, which is why good marketing is so important to your bottom line. From the very first contact point you have to help set the right expectations so everything that follows builds on that great first impression.
Good luck in the comp!
Great article Belinda. I can use this information on my websites and, since I just got back from a homeowner’s Board-related meeting, I thought about the different customers we have here in our community and how we can institute your tips in relating to them as well. Great job. I’m sharing with my tribe(s)!
Thanks Carol. I am glad it was so timely for you. And thank you for sharing it with your tribes!
Customer service can also be measurably improved as customer service reps are trained and trusted to deal with customer concerns at all levels. In other words, when a customer makes contact with the rep, is the rep appropriately equipped to define, address, and solve the customer’s problem, or will they be limited in what there are “allowed” to say or do (at their level in the chain)? How often are we told (during our own customer service encounters), “I will have to send this up the chain to perhaps eventually remedy the situation?” Let us, as CEO’s, empower our support personnel for the sake of prompt and efficient customer satisfaction. “Good” and “fine” are not good enough; we must strive for “magical” and “delightful” customer service encounters and experiences. This approach will notably increase brand equity.
Great point Tony. Would just add that empowering your staff in this way leads to greater employee satisfaction, retention and productivity, effectively seeding a virtuous cycle that accelerates the gains in brand equity.

This Clive and Co. collection takes inspiration from the fall runways where Jewel tones were very prevalent and mixed with versatility in all fabrics. Their hair cuts, although strong, shadow the mixed shapes of the fall clothing.
Havilah (green): In this case the hair is pushed to its longest point to create a technically cut faux hawk using the hairs natural growth pattern. The hair was pre-lightened following the shorter-to-longer feeling so that the color is more intense at the longer points. The pre-lightened hair was then colored emerald green following the influence of the fall runway jewel tones.
Ivy (red): This asymmetric style was created for a mix of strength, softness and versatility. The sides where undercut using scissor over comb to add the strong architectural shape while the top lends the softer, more textured feel. This style can also be pushed backwards for the pompadour effect. The color was applied at the roots to add dimension, lift and to give a ‘lit from above’ effect.
Kaia (blue): This style was inspired by the pill box hat. Meant to be square and angular. The color complimented the cut by adding dimension and a glowing effect to the front hairline. Again, the strong blue tones followed what was seen on fall runways.

head, KY (Sports Network) - Morehead State men's basketball coach Sean
Woods has been suspended one game after shoving point guard Devon Atkinson
during Wednesday's loss to Kentucky.
Woods, who was hired in May to replace Donnie Tyndall, shoved Atkinson in the
back as he walked to the bench during a timeout and continued to shout at the
senior during the stoppage.
"My behavior during Wednesday night's game was inappropriate and unacceptable.
I am truly sorry," Woods said. ."
The school launched an investigation on Thursday to further examine the
incident, before releasing a statement on Friday with the decision to suspend
Woods for Monday's contest with Norfolk State.
"We believe Coach Woods, while remorseful, is not above reproach. Therefore,
he will be suspended for Monday nights game against Norfolk State. This will
allow Coach Woods to consider his action and behavior, and allow him time to
contemplate the appropriate way to conduct himself with his players and on the
sideline," Morehead State director of athletics Brian Hutchinson said.
Woods led Mississippi Valley State to last year's NCAA Tournament before
taking over as the Eagles' coach.

So we know the true Siamese Algae Eater is the Crossocheilus siamensis which is often confused with the Flying Fox (Epalzeorhynchus kallopterus) and not so similar Chinese algae Eater (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri) as well as a fish known as the False Siamese Algae Eater (Garra cambodgiensis) which prefers fish food to algae.
Garra cambodgiensis
Epalzeorhynchus kallopterus
Often they are found in the fish store in a tank labeled – Algae Eaters which then house an array of fish that all look like a true Siamese Algae Eater.
Lots of shops mislabel these fish so Siamese algae eaters can also often be found under Flying Fox as well as other names.
The names in shops:
Algae Eater, Thai flying fox, Siamese flying fox, colorful flying fox, Epalzeorhynchos sp, trunk barb, Chinese catfish as well as an array of wonderful other names.
The only real gem for planted tanks is the Crossocheilus siamensis as this is the one that WILL eat brush algae (red algae) unlike most other fish…. All others also rather eat fish food and will not touch any algae.……
Intrigued as to how so many people can be confused a little research was needed…
It seems a whole group of fish who look very similar and near identical all swim in the same habitat and these are all caught up and labeled as one of the above names and sold in the shops.
So even in one tank in the shop you can have a mix of near identical fish who are actually different fish – yes it is so confusing but it gets even worse…
Here it comes… what you think may be a genuine Crossocheilus siamensis may actually be :-
Crossocheilus oblongus
Crossocheilus Langei
Crossocheilus atrilimes
Crossocheilus citripinnis
WHAT?????
Yip these guys all swim around together in a habitat and believe me they all look like the real deal…but don’t act like the real deal when it comes to Algae.
Crossocheilus oblongus
Crossocheilus Langei
Crossocheilus atrilimes
Note that in images the coloration varies depending on stress as well as lighting etc. very very rarely is imported and nearly does not exist in our tanks.
So who is the imposter you thought was your true Siamese algae eater?
If you are lucky it is the Crossocheilus Langei which I believe we all label as and know as the true Siamensis – these guys are the only real brush algae eaters. All the others prefer fish food….
If you are unlucky you have the Crossocheilus atrilimes who favors soft plants and moss which makes sense to me now…. some people report their SAE eating moss etc. whilst other say they don’t touch theirs.
If you have a Siamese Algae Eater and are curious as to which one you really have now here is an excellent link:
After a head breaking hour I have discovered that I have 2 x Crossochelius Langei & 1 x Crossochellus Oblongus & 1 x Crossochellus citripinnis
Two of mine I believed to be Siamensis - the back one is a Citripinnis and the front on is a Langei (note the coloring is the same but the snout is different)
6 comments:
I like those fish! They are just awesome.
Nice blog BTW!!!
Regards,
Patrice from
Just recently purchased 6 of these for my 6ft tank..they are fantastic little fish it's like watching 6 little Hoovers cleaning everything in their path
Enjoy reading your blogs keep up the good work
Barry
Jess, how are you supposed to tell one from the other? Some of them look so similar!
Hi Ava,
If you want the true algae eating one (C. Langei) then look out for a dark blotch under the abdomen and litle barbles on the front then you can't go wrong.
Greetz
Jess
I'd like to ask you a more specific question. Can you write to me at [email protected]? Thanks!
Ava
If it were the only problem with Siamese Algae Eater...

I love these perennial rituals that bring family and friends closer together. Whether we're in the same location, or miles apart, these traditions become part of the rhythm of our lives. It can be something as simple as sharing gifts of food, setting the table with your great-grandmother's tablecloth, hanging that special ornament or playing a favorite game after a holiday meal. Traditions pay homage to who we are, where we come from and what we cherish most in life.
As I was setting the table for Thanksgiving I thought about Leila Saks Ranger, my husband's great-grandmother. While I never had the pleasure of meeting her, I've had numerous conversations with my mother-in-law about her life, her passion and her artistic creativity. She had an eye for beauty and the talent to transform that vision into a magnificent handbag, a needlepoint sampler, or a lovely flower arrangement. Often these heirlooms will spark an interesting conversation around the dinner table, or just quietly comfort those who remember seeing them in another home at an earlier time.
Traditions are meant to be passed on to the next generation. This year Ally and her cousins, Chloe and Nicholas, prepared the desserts for our holiday meal. Chloe made a delicious apple pie using a recipe from the original Silver Palette cookbook, while Ally made a traditional pumpkin tart that she served with a caramel sauce. I helped with the crust as that takes a while to master, but we left them on their own to assemble and bake their creations.
Nicholas arrived with his masterpiece which tasted as good as it looked. With the dessert making in more than capable hands, my sister and I went out to dinner on Wednesday evening and decided this might just become our new tradition. It was a welcome respite before a full day in the kitchen.
As we make the seque into the Christmas season, it's time to hang one of my favorite decorations: Stolle's angel. Some wonder why I'm so enamored with this bubble wrap angel and all I can say is that a gift made by a child can really strike a chord. Stolle presented it to me when she was about six years old and I was so impressed with what she created from some very simple, albeit unusual, materials. Who looks at bubble wrap and thinks of an angel? Obviously, an insightful child. With all the hustle, bustle and commercialism of Christmas it's sometimes hard to stay focused on what's really important, so this angel is a loving and gentle reminder as we head into the holiday season.

"My hair is so frizzy, I'm starting to look like my Labradoodle!"
-- Lisa Greenberg, 44, Public Relations Consultant
Like most women with curly hair, Lisa had different textures all over, including soft waves, medium-size curls, and tight ringlets. The top section near her crown was frizzier than the smoother bottom and underneath layers -- and using one product (even sophisticated curl definers and frizz fighters, which she tried) couldn't tame it all.
What do you think of this story? Leave a Comment.
Girls just use a product called pro naturals after a shower. Its argan oil and it takes care of frizz like the gods, haha. Its really good, 100% recommend it.11/11/2012 04:37:01 PM Report Abuse

No!No! Face Trainer: Cool or Not?
My friends over at That's Fit recently tried out the new Face Trainer by No!No! While the name of the company is silly, No!No! has been making beauty products for a while now — Bella reviewed its hair removal gadget.
The Face Trainer ($199) is a mask that provides resistance while you perform a 10-minute facial exercise series. Toning the muscles of your face with the mask is said to decrease sagging and wrinkles as well as improve skin tone and color. The tester at That's Fit could feel her muscles getting a workout — the mask and exercise series left her face tired, similar to the sensation when you hold a smile too long for photos. The device is approved by the FDA. While I like to think of exercise as a panacea to any ill, I am not sure working the muscles in my face will reduce the appearance of my crows feet. What do you think?

Mystery Babylon is not the U.S. The U.S. is not guilty of the blood of the martyrs and saints of Jesus Christ and she certainly is not decked in purple and scarlet. She does not hold a gold cup in her hand. Check out the most recent photos of the pope holding a mass with his dazzling solid gold chalice full of abominations! --- Or a convention of "cardinals" running around in their long black robes with scarlet or purple sashes and little caps. Mystery Babylon is ROME.Rene

Kris Dim on shrugging strategies
After suffering a heart attack and life-threatening complications in 2007, Kris Dim made a successful comeback last year. The 2003 NPC Nationals light-heavy winner was third in his first contest back, the 2009 Europa Supershow 202, and then placed an eye-opening fourth in his hometown Sacramento Pro, an open contest, missing his third Olympia qualification by one slot. Dim gives us some pointers on trapezius training and serves up a typical traps routine.
DIM’S TRAP TIPS
- Trains traps once per week.
- Box shrugs are performed with a free-weight box-bar that allows me to hold my arms at my sides with palms facing inward. Dumbbell shrugs can be substituted for these.
- Machine shrugs are done on a Nautilus machine. Barbell shrugs can be substituted for these.
- Shrugs are a short movement so be certain to focus on contractions. I like to hold the contractions early in a set and then go faster as the set wears on and I tire.

Laboratory for Pathology and Bacteriology. For this purpose, pathogenicity and virulence of infectious agents are characterized by histological, histochemical, immunohistological, and molecular pathological techniques.
The emphasis is laid on investigations of the cell and tissue tropism of viral pathogens, the interaction between virus and host including molecular pathogenesis. For this purpose, various diagnostic test methods have been established for the detection of antigens or nucleic acids in tissue sections by immunofluorescence or in situ hybridization and are continuously improved.
Bacteriological investigations are conducted to confirm the freedom of cell cultures and other biological test materials e.g. from mycoplasmas. Furthermore, bacteriological diagnostics are used to support pathomorphological findings.
Main research topics and projects
- Pathogenetic investigations on the role of viral proteins for the neurovirulence of pseudorabies virus (PrV) in the mouse model and in vitro
- Comparative immunohistological investigations on the pathogenesis of classical and African swine fever in domestic pigs and wild boar
- Histopathological and molecular investigations on the pathogenesis of equine sarcoids and other papillomavirus infections of domestic animals
- Comparative pathogenetic studies on the viral neurotropism using PrV, lyssaviruses and teschoviruses as examples
- Immunohistological investigations on the tropism of avian and porcine influenza viruses
- Detection of mycoplasmas in cell cultures
- Pathogenesis of viral and bacterial mixed infections

South Korea's Government has ordered the country's airlines to bypass North Korean airspace on international flights after the reclusive leadership in Pyongyang said it could not guarantee the safety of civilian aircraft.
North Korea is upset over US-South Korean military exercises planned over 9-20 March. It said through the state-run Korea Central News Agency last night that "security cannot be guaranteed for South Korean civil airplanes flying through the territorial air of our side and its vicinity...while the military exercises are underway".
Aircraft have been flying through North Korean airspace since the late 1990s following a groundbreaking agreement reached by IATA and ICAO under which the Pyongyang Government collects overflight fees.
South Korea's Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime says in a statement on its website this morning that as a result of the North's comments Asiana Airlines and Korean Air will be required to bypass North Korean airspace and take longer routings through Japan's Flight Information Region.
It says an estimated 16 flights will be affected per day, 12 to the Americas and four to Russia. It adds that the longer routings will add between 15min and 40min and between 3 million won ($1,900) and 4 million won in additional costs per flight.

Lyrics
"Up to par, Katie bars the kitchen
signs but not me in"
There's an old saying "Katie
bar the door". It's used a lot in the south meaning, "something
unstoppable [is coming]". [gerbil] * 'Katie bar the kitchen door' is a southern term
that meant you better watch out. [Stipe,
on AOL] * It's been suggested that
this song might be related to Stipe's sister's experience teaching
deaf children. (Consider also "I'm the sign and you're not
deaf.") Therefore, the "sign" in question might
be American Sign Language. [Chris
Piuma] * "Up to par" means
"good enough". [Chris
Piuma]
"talk until you're blue"
That is, talk until you're blue in the face from lack of
oxygen, because you talked so much you forgot to breathe. [Chris Piuma]

- Mary4403
Wellington, New Zealand
Good for the price but definately not luxurious
The apartment is on a street of apartment buildings so on arrival the street is not appealing, but the location is good as it is less than 10 minutes walk to Potsdamer Platz or the Branderburg Gate. The bed is comfortable with new linens and the kitchen is well equipped. The finish is not to a high standard - the wooden floor looks new but there are gaps between the floor and the wall and several "bumps" . The ledge under the windows is unpainted. The bathroom has not been renovated and so has a shower over the bath with a shower curtain. With no washing machine or heated towel rail, having fresh towels is a problem if you stay more than a few days. Internet is available if you have a laptop, but there is no Wifi.
Overall we were disappointed with this apartment. From the photos and the title we had expected something of a higher standard. We left a day early and when we asked for a refund for the unused night we were refused.

Fabulous, affordable and central
Joerg and Ralf were really helpful and welcoming. The apartment was very clean and easy to live in. It was comfortable and close to everything touristy in Berlin. It was one of the best vacation experiences we've ever had as a couple.
The apartment was almost 100 percent wheelchair accessible also. The door to the kitchen was a little narrow but my wheelchair did fit through and there was a slight lip on the bathroom door which would not pose a significant inconvenience to most disabled people.

Great studio, modern, easy to access, well equipped, happily recommend.

Washington, DC
Excellent location
The location of this apartment and its proximity to the most visited sights, public transportation, and shopping can't be over emphasized. The apartment is 2 blocks from the metro, 3 blocks from Potsdamer Platz, about the same from the Brandenburg Gate and an easy walk to Checkpoint Charlie. I choose this apartment for location and I was not disappointed.
The apartment itself is one large room that accommodates one double and one twin bed plus a divan and a small chair. The beds were acceptable. The end wall is fully windowed, which provided lovely light. There is a small kitchen with a dorm sized fridge, no microwave, but an oven/cooktop, kettle and toaster. The bathroom was clean and had an unusual shower/sink connection that it took all three of us to figure out how to operate as the shower was turned off and we didn’t know there was a switch on the fixture. Directions would have been helpful.
A TV is provided, but since no channels were in English, it was of no value to my group. However, we were too exhausted after long days of sightseeing to care much if we had a TV to watch. There is a Hit grocery one block away that was very convenient for breakfast food.
This apartment would not meet my definition of luxury, but I would certainly recommend it based on location, value and the very easy rental arrangements and friendly reception we received.

Perfect apartment - perfect location.
I stayed here for 5 nights in October 2010.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped. The things I look for while travelling are clean premises, a safe neighbourhood, plenty of hot water, good bed and a strong Wifi signal. This apartment had all of these.
It was just meters from the Jewish Holocaust Memorial and the site of Hitler's bunker and just inside the walls of the former East Berlin. 10 minutes from Brandenburg Gate and just a block away from a major subway line. You can see the Bundestag from the window.

Will happily recommend
Great accommodation, good location and value for money. Joerg very helpful and Marko thankyou for your service in unblocking the shower after I phoned. Myself, my husband and our two sons who were running the marathon all stayed together in this apartment. The big bonus was that Joerg was happy for us to keep our luggage there while the boys ran the marathon so we were able to go back freshen up etc before setting off to catch our flights home. Thankyou.

Thanks for just an excellent apartment!
We stayed at Joergs lovely apartment for four days and it was a great experience.
We looked for a calm place to stay with our little son. The apartment is spacious, clean, have good fittings, nice furniture and comfortable beds.
The apartment is perfectly located close to Friedrichstraße. There is a shopping center around the corner with all of the essentials.
We really enjoyed our stay in Berlin!

A great place to stay!
A great place to stay especially for first timers. Apartment was spacious and clean. Marko the greeter was very informative and gave us some great and valuable hints. Location fab, just 1 block from the metro station, so ideal for arrival and departure. Just around the corner was a bakery, a lovely chinese restaurant and plenty of shops just a five minute walk. Everything you need on hand to make for a comfortable stay, central location, but away enough from the hustle and bustle to get a good nights sleep!
We will definitely go back again!

A lovely place to stay in a great location!
This is an excellent find - spotlessly clean, modern furnished, in a stunning location, very convenient for public transport. Shops, restaurants, services, characterful architecture all very near - you could wander round the local streets for hours and see something interesting at every turn. A great chance to live as a local in a fascinating city. Really welcoming owner! I would very much like to return here, and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Florentine Opera Names 2012-2013 Season Studio Artists
The Florentine’s Artist-in-Residence program returns for fifth season
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin—June 11, 2012—The Florentine Opera Company names Alisa Suzanne Jordheim (soprano) of Appleton, WI; Kristin DiNinno (mezzo soprano) of Pittsburgh, PA; Kevin Newell (tenor) of Edgar, WI; and Carl Frank (baritone) of Normal, Illinois, as resident artists for the 2012-2013 Season’s Florentine Opera Studio Program. Ms. Jordheim, Mr. Frank and Mr. Newell are new to the Studio Artist Program, while Ms. DiNinno returns for a second year.
Hundreds of applicants audition for the Florentine Opera Company’s four final residency positions..
“I am delighted that this fifth group of exceptional artists will join the Florentine for the 2012-2013 season in the Studio Artist Program as we continue this important professional development initiative,” notes General Director William Florescu. “Along with returning Studio Artist mezzo soprano Kristen DiNinno, we are happy to welcome soprano Alisa Suzanne Jordheim, tenor Kevin Newell, and Baritone Carl Frank, all of whom bring their well-honed artistic abilities and experience to the Florentine. These young artists demonstrate the very best talent present among up-and-coming singers today. The Florentine’s artistic team looks forward to leading these artists to the next level in their career path during the coming season.”
The 2012-2013. In addition to educational programs for younger students, the Studio Artists will also be featured in those targeting older students. Throughout the season the studio artists will work with artists and conductors from our mainstage performances in a special "Get Opera" Program. This one-hour program is geared towards 8th grade and high school students, fostering an appreciation for the arts and providing cross-curricular opportunities for teachers in English, Language Arts, History, Music and Theatre.

Florida Beach Rentals is located at:
516 Mandalay Ave
on the Beautiful Clearwater Beach Florida
(just north of theSandpearl)
Stop by and say "Hi!"
The White Sand Paradise that is the
Central Gulf Coast
The Central Gulf Coast beaches start at the north end with Clearwater Beach and end at the south with St. Pete Beach.
Clearwater Beach is one of the destination beaches with all the typical vacation activities you would expect in a beach community, including a wide variety of, restaurants, charter fishing trips, dolphin watching tours, jet skiing and such.
Just to the East of Clearwater Beach is a small island called Island Estates.This residential island offers a variety of amenities such as The Island Way Grill, the closest grocery store, banking, and the Clearwater Beach Aquarium where the movie Dolphin Tale was filmed.
A history of Clearwater Beach can be found in our blog pages. Click here for a list of Clearwater Beach restaurants.
Sand KeyHeading down the coast to the south is Sand Key. This is the perfect location for an extended stay in the area. The high-rise condos here mostly have minimum stays of a month, with the exception of a couple of buildings that allow as few as two weeks. Although Sand Key has two hotel chains, it is more laid back without the activities of its neighboring Clearwater Beach, just a short Jolly Trolley ride way..
Indian Rocks BeachIndian Rocks Beach and Indian Shores is the next area that supports vacation rentals. Here you will find plenty of good restaurants and a few shops but don't expect to see too much in the respect of beach activities..

Profile
ABC Domes
After hurricanes crisscrossed Florida in 2004 and 2005, Peter Fedele, who has spent his career in the construction business, researched which types of buildings fared best during storms. The answer kept coming up domes, which led to ABC Domes, a disaster recovery company based in Lakeland. The company rents out space in domes to financial institutions and document-storage companies. Customers include Bank of America, BB&T and Certified Records Management. The Lakeland site — the company has a dome in Texas, too — employs 35 and has four domes, with plans for another next year. CEO Fedele says the domes can withstand winds of up to 300 mph. “They’re basically disaster-proof,” he says.

Back in my youthful exuberance days, I and another guy (whose name and face both now elude my memory) used to compete to see how short we could land a Cessna 150. The answer was, pretty short. We would come in hanging on the edge of a stall and stomp on the brakes the moment a wheel touched the runway. I felt as if we got stopped in a couple of hundred feet, though I never actually measured.
The 150 was a very forgiving airplane (and I suppose its successor, the 152, was too, but by the time the 152 came out training planes were behind me) and so you could fly these minimum-speed approaches, the airspeed indicator needle wobbling around in the position error zone, without much anxiety about something going wrong. Great things can be achieved in airplanes that make you feel confident. And great mistakes can be made, too.
Here is what may be a case in point. I say "may be" because it's always difficult to say with certainty what was going on in the cockpit before a fatal accident occurs, when there is no cockpit voice recorder to help us out; we have to rely on external evidence. In this case, the external evidence consists of some seemingly rough and erratic low-level flying. The airplane was airborne for less than a minute before it stalled and crashed.
The accident involved a student pilot and an instructor; it took place almost three years ago at Levelland, Texas, on a hot and blustery May evening. Although it was nearing 7 o'clock when the 150 took off, the temperature was still 91 degrees. A stiff wind, 28 knots gusting to 37 as measured by a meteorological reporting station at nearby Texas Tech University, was blowing from 140 degrees. The takeoff runway was 17; the crosswind component was therefore around half of the wind speed.
The National Transportation Safety Board's report on the accident cites the accounts of two eyewitnesses. The first was himself an instructor in the same flight school as the accident pilot. He had realized, after the 150 taxied out, that he had left his wallet and keys in the airplane on its previous flight. He drove out to an intersecting taxiway to try to flag the airplane down, but failed. He reported that the takeoff, which he observed from close at hand, was "abrupt and nose high." The airplane then leveled off, climbed to 50-100 feet, and made a steeply banked left turn. It sank on the downwind leg, settling to 50 feet again before climbing to 100-200 feet. At that point the instructor drove back to the flight school; he did not see the accident that occurred moments after he turned away.
A second witness was standing outside his shop on the airport. He paid attention to the little Cessna's takeoff, he said, because the wind was so strong. He saw the car beside the runway and the arm waving out the window and heard the airplane's engine go to full power. Like the other witness, he reported that the 150 was "sharply pulled into flight," flew level briefly to gain speed, and then climbed to, in his opinion, 300 feet. It then "banked hard left" -- 70 degrees, he thought -- and, after turning 180 degrees, "dove sharply" to a height of 30 feet. It then "sharply climbed" back to 300 feet before it "sharply turned left again at a 70-80-degree bank." It appeared to rock once, and then dove almost vertically to the ground near the approach end of Runway 17.
Note the witness's repeated use of the word "sharply." The airplane was being tossed around roughly -- whether by the pilot or by the wind, we don't know, though the impression, from the extreme bank angles, is that the pilot was more in charge than the wind was. In any case, the numbers -- 30 feet, 70 degrees, and so on -- should not be taken literally; witnesses' estimates are seldom accurate, especially when a fatal outcome has retrospectively heightened the significance of the event.
One can make some guesses about the reasons for the airplane's observed behavior. If it seemed to be pulled sharply into the air, the reason was probably that the wind -- the crosswind component, remember, was 14-19 knots -- was starting to push it sideways, and the pilot wanted to get it off the ground. Once airborne, it picked up sufficient speed to begin to climb. At some altitude -- the witnesses' reports differ, but let us assume that the one who was a flight instructor might have been the more accurate and that the altitude was none too high -- the airplane was racked around in a steeply banked, apparently continuous 180-degree turn onto the downwind leg.
Why such a drastic turn? One reason could have been instructional: to show the student that a coordinated downwind turn, even a very abrupt one, does not result in an immediate stall or even a rapid loss of airspeed. And indeed it did not. The airplane did lose some airspeed, however -- any airplane loses speed in a steeply banked turn, even in still air, and the tailwind may also have picked up a bit -- and it settled somewhat before resuming its climb as it flew along the downwind leg.
The C-150, with its 100 hp engine, is not a powerful airplane even on a standard day at sea level. On this particular evening the density altitude was almost 6,500 feet, and the engine could not have put out more than about 82 horsepower. With so little excess power, it would be slow to recover airspeed or altitude lost to a gust or a downdraft. As it climbed, it presumably did not accelerate much.
The airplane now had two or three cards stacked against it. Its indicated airspeed was probably not very high. It had little excess power. Finally, it was flying in a gusty following wind.
The effect of the wind under these circumstances is complex. On the downwind leg, the 150 was flying with a gusty wind coming from about 30 degrees to the right of its tail. Suppose, for argument's sake, that its indicated airspeed was 15 knots above the stalling speed. A 10-knot gust would still leave it a speed margin; a 15-knot gust -- the reported gusts were not that strong -- would bring it to its level-flight stalling speed, but since its angle of attack would not immediately change it would be able to accelerate with some loss of altitude but not necessarily any loss of control. It is angle of attack, remember, not speed, that makes a wing stall.
When the 150 made a steeply banked left turn, however, its situation became more precarious. Because the bank angle is steep, the airplane is now showing its top, not its tail, to the wind. If the wind is steady, this makes no difference, provided that the pilot keeps the angle of attack below the stalling one. But if a lull -- a negative gust -- occurs during the turn, its effect is not only to momentarily increase the indicated airspeed but also to increase the angle of attack. To the steeply banked airplane with its dorsal aspect to the wind, a sudden drop in wind speed is equivalent to an upward gust. If the wing is already close to its stalling angle of attack, it may stall despite the increase in indicated airspeed.
Is this what happened? Who knows? It's actually unnecessary to invoke exotic combinations of wind and attitude to explain a stall in the traffic pattern. People have stalled airplanes on calm days because they banked too steeply and pulled too hard, or because they got the controls crossed, which is much easier to do when the wind is blowing and the airplane appears to be sliding sideways over the ground.
What makes this accident especially puzzling is the exhibition of an uncommonly abrupt and extreme style of flying in weather conditions in which many people would hesitate even to go aloft in an airplane as light and anemic as a Cessna 150. The two don't seem to go together, especially when you consider that the instructor was 64, an age at which most pilots have outgrown the feeling that they have something to prove. Unfortunately, the NTSB's report includes no comment on whether displays of youthful ebullience while maneuvering in the traffic pattern were typical of this instructor. His colleague on the ground seems not to have considered the gyrations of the 150 sufficiently out of the ordinary for him to continue watching them.
We don't even know, finally, who was flying the airplane, but it would be a strange lesson plan that required abrupt and extreme maneuvering in the traffic pattern. A possible explanation of the 150 staying in the pattern without gaining much altitude is that the instructor caught sight of his colleague in the car beside the runway when the 150 was already in its takeoff roll; that he then saw the wallet and keys and realized that they needed to be returned; that he then said, "My airplane," and, taking the controls, racked the little trainer around with the confident bravado of one who knows the 150 well, and knows what a well-behaved and forgiving airplane it is..

South African Airways (SAA) can confirm that the 15 crew members who were detained by British authorities yesterday have now all been released without being charged.
The crew members, including three pilots and 12 cabin crew members, were detained by British customs officials on their arrival at Heathrow Airport yesterday morning. This took place after three items of luggage containing contraband were found on the aircraft. SAA has ensured that the crew members have legal representation, and airline officials in the UK have assisted the crew where possible
SAA is co-operating fully with UK authorities. The airline has also launched an investigation into this matter involving SAA Aviation Security and the SAPS Crime Intelligence Unit. SAA has a zero tolerance approach towards the use of the airline’s services for any criminal activity.
