19 Best & Worst Golden Globe Awards Moments (Photos)
From the red carpet to three-time hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the 2015 NBC live broadcast had moments we'll remember forever, and some we'd like to forget
Jason Hughes | January 11, 2015 @ 9:06 PM	Last Updated: February 22, 2015 @ 4:56 PM
BESTGeorge and Amal Clooney: Red Carpet PerfectionGeorge and Amal Clooney were the ultimate couple at the Golden Globes red carpet; it was the couple's first big appearance since getting hitched four months ago. Amal wore a custom black Dior gown, which she paired with her own long white opera gloves. Her newly-minted husband put all men to shame with his tuxedo.
BESTKate Hudson Is White-Hot in Versace The "Wish I Was Here" actress looked fierce walking the red carpet in a fitted, white Versace dress. She presents this evening. When taking her leave from E!'s Ryan Seacrest, Hudson ran into Best Actress, Drama nominee Jennifer Aniston, in black Yves Saint Laurent, causing a sparkling traffic jam of gorgeous.
WORST Red Carpet Won't Forgive Pregnant Keira Knightley's Chanel Maternity Wear"The Imitation Game" star is preggers and up for a Best Supporting Actress award. Her butterfly-and-feather-print Chanel dress, however, looked more "Little House on the Prairie" than red-carpet ready. Harry Winstone platinum and diamond earrings with pearls could only top off the look. Dakota Johnson scored the Chanel win between the two in a sleeveless, shimmering silver Couture dress.
BESTAdrian Grenier: The Color PurpleNot everyone can pull off purple, but Adrian Grenier, who played Vincent Chase in HBO's "Entourage," is not just anyone. The actor brought some color to this year's Golden Globe Awards with style in a three-piece purple vested tuxedo with black lapels. Grenier and the rest of the "Entourage" gang filmed their Globes arrival on the red carpet for their upcoming "Entourage" movie.
BESTJ.K. Simmons Chokes UpThe actor wins Best Supporting Actor for his brusque performance in "Whiplash," then scours the audience for his wife, finding her "hiding behind the cameraman." He thanks her for the usual spousal love and support, "including our adorable -- above-average -- children," he says, getting a laugh and a little teary.
WORSTJeremy Renner Distracted by Jennifer Lopez' 'Globes'Just read the teleprompter, Jeremy Renner. It was the only thing asked of you. Renner complimented Jennifer Lopez's anatomy as they presented the award for best actor in a Mini-Series or Television Movie. "You've got the globes too," he quipped, to her shocked laugh. He just had to go there, didn't he?
BESTGina Rodriguez and CW Globes Virgins No MoreGina Rodriguez's win for "Jane The Virgin" was historic for The CW, winning the fledgling network its first trophy, but her speech also drove home how important the win was. "[This award] represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes," said the Puerto Rican actress from the podium. It's inspirational, indeed, as the country continues to get more diverse and fictional onscreen worlds still struggle to keep up.
BESTJill Soloway Honors Her "Trans Parent" During "Transparent" Win"Transparent" creator Jill Soloway thanked the trans community, and gave a special shout-out to her own "trans parent," saying, "I want to thank you for coming out because in doing so you made a break for freedom and you told your truth. You taught me how to tell my truth and make this show and maybe we'll be able to teach the world something about authenticity and truth and love. To love.
WORSTChrissy Teigen's "Cry Face" Goes ViralThe model's good looks didn't save her this time. Her disheveled "cry face" was at the mercy of savvy social media users. Her face was circulated across social media with witty remarks, even one referencing Taylor Swift. Teigen took the jokes in stride, even recreating her "painful" face with husband John Legend.
BESTJeffrey Tambor Dedicates Best Actor Win to Transgender CommunityJeffrey Tambor won his first Golden Globes victory for playing Maura Pfefferman on Amazon's "Transparent." He dedicated the trophy to the transgender community, telling them, "Thank you for letting us be part of the change."
BESTGeorge Clooney Honors His New BrideDuring his speech as the Cecille B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award winner, the new husband took a moment to honor his wife, Amal Alamuddin. "It's a humbling thing when you find someone to love," he said. "Even better when you've been waiting your whole life, and when your whole life is 53 years … I couldn't be more proud to be your husband."
WORSTThe Show's Background MusicIf there's one area where show organizers saved money, it was on the stock '80s corporate training video music that played in and out of the commercial breaks. How about all that great music from those movies and television shows you're honoring?
BESTKristen Wiig and Bill Hader Butcher Classic Movie LinesBefore the writing team behind "Birdman" won a Golden Globe, the "Saturday Night Live" alums announcing the nominees pulled off a rarity on an awards show stage: Exchanging funny banter that's actually funny. Aside from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's opening monologue, their ode to quotable lines found in classic movies like "The Terminator" and "The Godfather," and then completely rewriting them, was one of the best bits of the evening.
WORSTRicky Gervais Reminds Everyone Why He Doesn't Host AnymoreFormer host came out holding a wine glass and threatening to insult various people in the audience as a callback to his own hosting stint, which was criticized for being too mean-spirited. He then mispronounced Quvenzhane Wallis' name on his way to forgetting to announce the Best Actress - Musical or Comedy winner.
BESTMatt Bomer Scores First Ever Major Win, Touches Everyone's HeartActor Matt Bomer took home a Golden Globe for best supporting actor for "The Normal Heart." Bomer, who is openly gay, got emotional when he thanked his husband of three years. "To my husband, Simon Halls, and our three kids, Kit, Walker, Henry, I love you putting up with me when I was 130 pounds and really grumpy when you ate pizza in front of me," he said. Bomer lost 40 pounds for his role, playing a closeted gay man with AIDS in the 80s.
BESTHFPA President Theo Kingma Stands for Free SpeechThere were pens, buttons, photos and a speech by Theo Kingma. The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave a rousing speech and noted free speech won't be repressed in Paris or North Korea. His moving speech was met with a thunderous applause and cheers from Hollywood. And to that, it's worth raising a glass again.
WORSTMatthew McConaughey's Facial HairThis is not what the beard gang is about, Matthew McConaughey. The actor did a disservice to the beard movement with his scraggly facial hair -- for his role in Civil War-set "The Free State of Jones" -- paired with a sleek tuxedo. McConaughey usually impresses with ease, but not tonight. Sorry, McConaughey, role or no, there won't be an "alright, alright, alright" for this look.
BESTPrince Drops by for Surprise PresentationFamously shy musician stunned the crowd when he appeared to present the award for Best Original Song. He was soft-spoken, carried a big stick and absolutely commanded the room, with the stars in attendance sharing their looks of shock and awe with the viewing audience at home.
WORSTNot enough Amy Poehler and Tina FeyIt was their last hurrah hosting the Golden Globes, and we deserved more jokes, and less Margaret Cho. Here's to hoping they graduate to hosting the Oscars next year.


I am just having trouble figuring out what i am doing wrong.
Please explain why you think it is wrong. Post any output that shows the problem and add some comments explaining what is wrong.
Do you have a description in English of the steps the code should take (a design) to solve the problem?
Once you have that design, then write code to implement it.
Where did the magic number '11' come from. Shouldn't that be words.length?
Where does the code print out the changed contents of the array after doing the sort? The sort method returns an array but nothing is done with it.
That is printed at the end of the sort method. The main method needs to print the array's contents after that.
Do you have the list of steps a program must do to implement a selection sort?
Could you add them to the code as comments so anyone reading the code can check to see if the code is following the steps shown in the comments.
What is the logic for the selection sort? Can you add it as comments in the code so anyone reading the code can see if the code is following the logic shown in the comments?
I see several lines of code in the selectionSort method. What determined what statements were written there? In other words what is the logic for that method?
and then write the code to follow the steps in the logic.
The posted code does not compile without errors.
You can only get a 0‑length token returned from next() if you change the delimiter. It is however quite easy to get a 0‑length line from nextLine() by pushing the enter key twice, which is why I wrote line 4.
I don't understand the bit about two arrays. You don't seem to have created an array of arrays, which would be declared as a String whose 2nd length will always be 2.
Why are you using Collections.sort before your bubble sort method? That doesn't look right.
You know you can get a String out of your List? Go through its methods.


Here's a royal treat for your feet that will get you back on track!

About the ECB
History of the ECB
1878 Electricity is used in Kimberly. There is little understanding of the dangers. Within a few years several towns in SA install generators. There are no electrical regulations, resulting in many accidents and fires.
1939 Due to the increase of electrical installation been installed in many SA cities the number of accidents and electrocutions increased dramatically.
The government reacts by promulgating the ELECTRICAL WIREMAN and CONTRACTORS ACT.
This act requires every person doing electrical installations to undergo tests and training as an interim arrangement. New incumbents had to enter into a five year apprenticeship and to work under the constant supervision of a "qualified electrician" known as an "Electrical Wireman" for five years.
The electrical contractor, i.e. the business owner, also had to be an Electrical Wireman and had to go annually and in person to register his business with every the Local Authority in whose jurisdiction he worked. Each Local Authority had their own by-laws therefore every installation differed in every region, town and city. This was very costly for everyone.
The contractor also had to go in person to register every installation regardless of size or complexity with the Local Authority before it was commenced with. He then had to make an appointment for inspection with the Local Inspector to pass the installation before it could be connected to the supply. Each Local Inspector interpreted the by-laws differently and many of them assumed an importance which surpassed their position or authority and often solicited favors to pass the installation. This situation worsened in time and cost the country millions.
It was a statutory requirement that Local Authorities had to inspect 100% of all installations. This may have been possible in 1939, but by the 1970's it had become impossible for every installation to be inspected. This resulted in the contractors registering only those installations that needed a new supply.
1975/6 Wiehan Commission. About 1975/6 the government establishes the Wiehan commission, the purpose of which is to undertake a study of the Labour Relations Act. This results in the repeal of the Electrical Wireman and Contractors Act. The functions of the board are transferred to "Department of Manpower". Unfortunately, the system does not improve.
1979/80. The chief inspector calls a meeting of the electrical industry. The purpose he says is to stop the abuse of power and exploitation of users and others by electrical inspectors and to seek a way forward for the industry. He appoints a delegation made up of the Department of Labour (DoL), South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), Association of Municipal Electricity Utilities (AMEU), ESKOM and the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA), and the delegation visits seven countries. The chief inspector enters into numerous discussions with all role players. The proposal is made by the Chief Inspector to allow the removal of the power from the Local Authorities and the establishment of a work group to come up with a proposal to achieve this end.
In 1982/3 a survey was undertaken as to determine as to how many installations were in fact tested and inspected, this showed that the figure was only 12%. This highlighted the abuse of power and also the ineffective processes in place.
1983 – Establishing the ECB
The Chief Inspector requests industry to establish a board based on the principals of the National Inspection Council as seen in the UK. It must be a body "not for gain" and it must allow membership of all "stake holder organisations" at no cost to them. They in turn must agree to serve for free. A board was established and named the "ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING BOARD of SA"
The Functions of the Board were:
To establish a national umbrella body that would act as a customer champion and allow the membership of different organisations to participate with criteria acceptable to all that would benefit all "stake holders" but that would not interfere other than to ensure fair play.
To establish "SECTOR BOARDS" to permit different sectors of industry to participate in the affairs of the industry in its broadest sense while ensuring fair play.
To make rules to ensure that all stake holders would benefit to improve their understanding of the industry and that of the consumer.
To participate on various bodies such as the AMEU, SABS, DOL, DOE. Universities, Financial institutions, SAIEE, etc.
To establish a diploma to benefit the industry in both administrative affairs and technical proficiency.
Many parties were involved in the establishment of the ECB and it became a strong and worthwhile organisation through assisting and mediating between many parts of industry and public alike.
1992 – NEW ROLES ADDED
The ECB was written in to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, by government and tasked with the statutory function of:
Contractor/registered party registration at no cost to the government.
To design and manage a document against which an electrical installation shall be measured for safety.
To implement training programs to educate all stake holders in the new regulations, responsibilities and requirements of electrical contractors, registered persons, manufacturers, suppliers of materials, property owners and others.
To consider a method of policing for the future.
The ECB assigned the administration of registering registered persons to the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA)) via their seven offices around the country. It is easy to get confused between the ECA and ECB but it is quite straight forward – The ECA is an EMPLOYERS BODY and represents the interests of electricians. The ECB represents the interests of the entire industry and acts as the umbrella body and customer champion of the industry. Both bodies are needed, as are many others.
In 1993, the board increased traceable registered contractor numbers from 3500 in 1991/2 to 7000 by January 1994. This number grew to nearly 11,000 in 2008.
In 2010 the ECB launched the first online Certificate of Compliance and e-registration process, updating the manual registration to an electronic process that did not require travelling or unnecessary time for the contractor/registered person.
1994 – The First Yellow Certificate of Compliance (COC)
In 1994 the Electrical Conformance Board introduced the 1st COC printed in its present yellow form. This CoC was designed by the ECB Technical Director who was also President of the Electrical Contractors Association – Tony "Mac" McDonald. Tony is still with us today and has been constantly involved in updating and improving the Certificates of Compliance and Test Reports. Tony won the ECA Excellence Award in 2014 for his contracting company and is also a Life Time Member of the ECA and ECB.
1998/9 – A Change in LAW BUT NO CHANGE IN DIRECTION
1998/9 – Around the turn of the millennium the Department of Labour decided to establish Approved Inspection Authorities (AIA's). To do this they must change the Occupational Health & Safety Act and removed the ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING BOARD from the regulations and replace it with the Department of Labour. This made the functions of registration with the ECB uncertain but it opened the way for voluntary registrations.
2009 – Revised regulations are promulgated and the ECB is finally removed from the Occupational Health & Safety Act. The ECB are informed they will continue with the responsibility of registering contractors and registered persons. Conversation with the Chief Inspector continued to discuss best ways forward.
2009 – the ECB gives notice to the ECA of their plans to undertake administration electronically. The ECA would continue with the manual registrations and sale of CoC's as service providers. Work commenced building the electronic infrastructure.
2010 – The ECB joined the modern world by upgrading the registration method from a manual to an electronic system. This offered the contractor the opportunity of doing their own registration, or obtaining their own CoC from their personal computer in their office, home, or even using the nearest Post Net.
2010 – The ECB inform the DoL of the electronic improvement and the intention to do likewise with the CoC / TEST REPORT.
2010 – ECB meetnig with the Chief Inspector highlighted his concerns that the current registration systems were still not sufficiently accessible to all. The ECB agreed to see what could be done. The ECB were again re-appointment for registrations.
2010 – ECB discussions continued with the Chief Inspector where the possibility of appointing municipalities or wholesalers for registrations would offer a much greater presence throughout the country as service providers, none of which does the Chief Inspector object to. The ECB starts looking for an additional partner to make CoC and registration more accessible to the contractor. Several were contacted and expressed interest, others not.
2011 – ECA notifies the ECB that due to the cost of undertaking contractor registration and the uncertainty of the DoL appointment of the ECB, they were no longer prepared to be the ECB service providers as of the 31 Sept.
2011 – Negotiations between ECB and VOLTEX are concluded. VOLTEX agree to be ECB's new service provider, offering a high degree of convenience and service, increasing the number of registration points from 7 to about 50. This added to the online registration and eCoC certificates giving a much greater access to all.
Sept 2013 – The Department of Labour takes over control of registrations and several parties are given remit to distribute their own Certificates of Compliance with now centralised monitoring.
Despite the lack of transparency that has occurred in the industry, this also had a considerable effect on the income of the ECB. As the ECB was originally established to represent the interests of the industry and be a customer champion it simply continued on in that role raising funds through listings, training and sponsorships from industry and electrical installers. We are very grateful for those who believe in what we do.
2010 – Growing the Umbrella
In 2010, the electrical manufacturing and supply industry established ERIC, a body to counter the flood of cheap imported products entering the country. Many of the ERIC board members served on the ECB board and used the same administration staff. As a result of the change to the ECB's function over the years, and loss of statutory contractor registration in 2012, it was proposed in 2014, to rebrand and combine the functions of ECB and ERIC, under the acronym ECB as it is a well known brand name, but to change the name to the "ELECTRICAL CONFORMANCE BOARD" (ECB), as it now included the functions previously under taken by ERIC.
The revised ECB constitution permits all conforming entities e.g electrical manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, distributors, designers, installers, and others who agree to the conditions of membership, which includes distributing, designing and installation of products conforming to the relevant regulations and standards when and where required, to become "LISTED / CONFORMING MEMBERS" and to use the ECB logo and motto, "SAFETY THROUGH CONFORMANCE", on all correspondence / marketing material.
The regulations contained in the "OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH and SAFETY ACT" (Act 85 of 1993) are explicit in that they state that all electrical equipment, manufactured, imported, advertised for sale or sold and intended to be installed in an electrical installation, shall comply to the standards. As mentioned previously the ECB includes all stakeholders in its broadest sense as members. The purpose is not only to make electricity safer for all, but to assist in leveling the playing fields by applying the statutory regulations and making them work for all and consequently benefiting all genuine South African and foreign manufacturers and importers. This task can't be done alone. It must be a joint venture between "GOVERNMENT and the PRIVATE SECTOR".
The ECB is in an ideal position to undertake this task as when it talks to the regulator, it does so on behalf of all ECB stake holders and with the backing of the consumer. Therefore fingers cannot be pointed at any one company or individual.
2019 – Functions OF THE ELECTRICAL CONFORMANCE BOARD
The ECB handles more than 7,000 call cases per annum. These come from all quarters. If they can be answered on the phone by staff members, at no cost to our listed member and the general public. We assist in technical as well as standard complaint issues.
The ECB represents the customer interests at the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) main committees and working group meetings. It is at these forums that standards and codes are discussed and created. Currently we serve on ± 20 different workgroup committees meeting several times per year. The decisions of these committees affect all stake holders as most of these standards are normatively referenced in the SANS 10142-1 / 2 Code of Practice or are a requirement of the OHS Act.
Our Technical Director, Tony McDonald, has represented the electrical installation industry since 1972 at SABS and since 1980 as an SA delegate to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Photovoltaic SSEG – SANS Standard – In 2010 the ECB saw the need for safety regulation and control in respect of photovoltaic (solar) and other renewable energy sources and was the body that took over the organisation of the code development regarding renewable energy installations and standards development. The ECB identified the urgent need for the establishment of such a workgroup and campaigned for the re-establishment of the failed SABS committee and was successful in this regard by approaching the CSIR, who managed to obtain US Aid support to fund this initiative in 2015. The ECB is still the secretariat of this committee and as a result a draft standard has been created and is in final stages of release.
The SABS 10142-1 committee is the main committee that checks the correctness of the standard writing before it is adopted and included in the SABS 10142 family of standards and becomes a statutory standard. The ECB is not compensated for this or any of the other committees on which it serves.
The ECB was the organisation appointed to do the statutory function on behalf of the SA public at no cost to Government and with no subsidy from government. We still attempt to perform this role today. As the ECB's main income was derived from electrical contractor registration and sale of CoC's it was in a position to offer a free service to all. With the removal of the ECB from the Act with no support from government, the ECB struggles to continue.
Without the ECB, there will be no one to turn to to represent the consumer's interests and to support the over-arching needs of the industry. This leaves the electrical sector fragmented and in danger of miscommunication between all of the many industries the electrical sector services.
2019 – The State of the Electrical Sector
The SA Fire Protection Association tells us that 35% of all fires have an electrical origin.
The South African Insurance Association informs us that in 2018 fire damage amounted to R3bn per annum. This figure was only R1bn in 2009. What is the cause?
There is a belief between us all that it is due to poor workmanship, non-compliant materials available on the SA market due to the lack of policing. Incorrect choice of materials, lack of understanding that electrical installations have to be correctly designed and therefore the installers have to be correctly educated and trained in the design of electrical installations. Research is currently being performed to clarify this.
The ECB is still the only organisation in the country fighting to ensure clarity, safety and inter-communication between all industry sectors. We do this with volunteers, little income and support. We appreciate all of those who contribute and donate to the ECB. As electrical products and technology penetration increases in the country we hope more and more people will stand behind us to try and ensure the South African public remain safe.
We appreciate all that the industry does for us. We appreciate all of the electrical installers and sponsors who support us. The vast amount of work performed by the Directors and associates of the ECB is still voluntary and we are constantly searching for greater support.
We are determined to ensure the industry strives for greater transparency and greater safety. We believe that without this vision standards will continue to decrease. We urge you to ensure that your electricians are ECB listed. We perform checks to ensure their are qualified and registered. We also encourage you to ensure you receive ECB Certificates of Compliance and Test Reports for all electrical work performed on your properties. The numbered forms are traceable to our electricians who ensure all work performed is of the correct standard.

At a conference sponsored by the Congregation for the Clergy, Pope Francis shared a few thoughts on the formation and role of priests.
The idea of that priests are in need of human formation is important and I think that many people don't see priests as human. Each priest is a man who has his own particular set of limitations and talents. Some are great homilists. Others are gentle and thorough confessors. Others have the gift of communicating the Gospel to a wider audience. Still others toil quietly in administrative jobs behind the scenes.
Whatever their gifts, these men need to take the time to understand themselves and find their place as servants in God's kingdom. Pope Francis' words on human formation emphasize that formation goes well beyond theological training and the practicalities of being a priest and pastor. The process of formation — in a way that doesn't seem to exist in secular training — addresses the totality of the person being formed.

Cons: "Leg room was really bad in economy and the only upgrade option was to business for $10,000 so of course not affordable for the average person."

Pros: "crew are well trained"
Cons: "chicken dinner was not tasty at all"
Cons: "I had a carry-on sized bag which would have fit in the overhead compartment. I was told that it would not fit the Swiss Air compartment, thus was forced to check it at the gate. I expressed my concern that it would get lost (thus the reason I never opt to check bags) and was assured "They are very efficient in Zurich." When we arrived in Madrid, my bag was not at the carousel. I was told at Customer Service that it was on another flight, but that they could deliver it to my Airbnb between 4-7 pm. I had to wait there instead of enjoying my vacation to wait for my bag. The bag did not arrive until 10:30 pm. I did not have my clothes or belongings with me all day. Swiss Air in particular needs to update their overhead compartment regulations, as my bag definitely would have fit there, and could have avoided this entire situations."

Pros: "Excellent Service. Excellent food."
Pros: "The flight was perfect until we hit horrible turbulence. 1 out of every 4 people was throwing up. We had to redirect to Milan."
Cons: "Swiss air is completely inept at handling a very normal reroute due to weather. 200 displaced people are standing in line. I've been here 5 hours and have not heard a word of announcement from them, our questions are rudely thwarted, and they continue to take half-an-hour to an hour per person with uncertain results. Give use new flights or a hotel."
Pros: "I am a frequent flyer with swiss airline. Amazing crew, boarding, taking off and landing is on time if not a little earlier. However, I was quite disappointed with the enertainment package and food."
Cons: "I am a frequent flyer with swiss airline. Amazing crew, boarding, taking off and landing is on time if not a little earlier. However, I was quite disappointed with the enertainment package and food."
Pros: "Flight crew, food, and seatback entertainment system (with USB charging port) were all great."
Cons: "The seats were uncomfortable and way to close. When the person in front of me leaned their seat back, I was forced to do the same. It was nearly impossible to eat. If you had a hint of claustrophobia, you would never make this entire trip without going nuts. I noticed that many of the middle seats were unoccupied, while my family and I were crammed into four seats side-by-side. If we had empty seats between us the flight would have been bearable."

Cons: "There's nothing I didn't like :)"
Pros: "The flight attendants seemed very courteous, but unable to do anything about the situation."
Cons: "We had a family of four sitting behind us. The father yelled all the time. They took up four overhead bins and he was frequently up and down getting things out of the bins. His very hairy large belly was touching my daughters head every time. He and his children punched the backs of our seats on a regular basis. My back was in constant pain and I was unable to do very many things due to the back pain during my "vacation", The flight attendants had to remind the parents that their children could not stand on the seats during takeoff or crawl around under the seats. No ability to change seats or I would have. I didn't have a problem with the other children on the flight, when they were crying their parents tried to do something. However these people brought playdough for their child to roll out or punch on the seat tray and all they did was constantly yell loudly at their children, Well not about the kicking, punching, or crawling around. Just yell in general at them."
Cons: "Warm breakfast in coach would be appreciated, but i understand it is just coach."
Pros: "Food, staff, service"
Cons: "No leg room"
Pros: "Friendly crew, decent meal, and above-average entertainment systems"
Cons: "Confusing boarding process, outdated and worn seats and technology, unable to select seats when booked as a United codeshare."
Cons: "There was a supposed difficulty with my entry in Europe when I tried to Check into Chicago. I thought that I had to cancel my flight. Swiss air representatives had to do much consultation, which took nearly an hour, while I was standing there the whole time. At the end, I was thanked for my patience and told all should be well and not even given a small upgrade for the distress this caused me. Traveling is disagreeable in general now, and personally, even moreso after this episode."

Pros: "The flight crew were friendly and helpful. The food served on our flight to Zurich was delicious. We loved the big movie selection which helped pass the time."
Cons: "The leg room was terrible on this plane. If anyone reclined their seats, you were trapped and could barely get out of the row to get up or go to the bathroom. Boarding was a bit like herding cats and everyone was jammed up trying to get on without any orderly direction."
Pros: "Staff were courteous and there was abundant food and beverage service."

Pros: "Flight boarding was quick and fast and food was great."
Cons: "Seats had no room and if someone in front reclined the tv was right in your face. Also what happen to having individual fans above.

Overall it was okay."

Cons: "Passengers who pay retail for first class on domestic flights should get access to the Delta lounges even without the AE card. Other airlines do this, and we have come to expect it."
Pros: "The boarding was fast and very well handled."
Cons: "My flight from Chicago was two hours late and that's why I missed the flight from Atlanta to Buenos Aires. No one helped and did not know that the flight was delayed and I had to find a place to sleep. I'm not satisfied with the experience and I have not yet arrived in Argentina because of the whole"

Pros: "Very nice flight and attentive staff. Enjoyed the view of NYC as we flew up the East River, then looped over Nassau County to approach LGA."
Cons: "The male flight attendant who handed out the complimentary drinks and snacks acted a bit strangely. I was very thirsty, and I asked him if I could keep the rest of the can of soda. He neither said yes nor no, but rather completely ignored what I said and just poured my drink and moved on. I was a mildly annoyed, but figured maybe it was policy and he was shy and didn't want to debate the matter. When he took care of the older couple behind us, however, things got really strange. He asked them whether they wanted pretzels or peanuts, but they misheard him and asked for a ginger ale. I happened to know that he did have ginger ale, since my wife had just gotten one, but rather than just pouring the old folks a drink, he repeated himself. "Peanuts or pretzels?" They misheard again and asked him whether he had a diet ginger ale. Again, rather than just pour them the drink, he repeated himself. "Peanuts or pretzels?" This went round and round a few more times -- like a poorly designed computer UI that refuses to accept anything except the correct input -- before the old couple finally figured out the disconnect and picked their snacks before their drinks. Very weird."
Cons: "Cancelled my flight because I lost one of the arms"
Cons: "Layover"
Pros: "Short flight"
Cons: "Too cold Not friendly boarding agent"
Cons: "2.5 hour delay for no apparent reason at first (supposed mechanical issues with plane) and then waited on plane at gate for a missing pilot who never got picked up from his airport and got stuck in Chicago traffic trying to get to O'Hare.

Cons: "Had a death in the family and no one would help me get back home"
Pros: "Seats were comfortable. Snacks!!! Nice flight crew."
Cons: "I liked everything."
Pros: "The Gogo Inflight wifi and entertainment did not work for even a minute. I choose flights based on their amenities and this one had offered full WIFI service which swayed me to choose to fly with Delta. I'm not sure who is to blame about this issue but I'm pretty frustrated that it was completely dysfunctional."
Pros: "The movie I watched was pleasant, although I had trouble hearing it because of the situation described below."
Cons: "There was a family seated behind us with several crying, loud children. We were miserable. Even my headphones with a Mozart sonata cranked up to loud did little to mask the noise. Probably not Dela'a fault, but the crew did nothing to mitigate the problem."

Cons: "This was the most narrow airplane seat I've ever experienced. So uncomfortable."
Cons: "We were changed from KLM to Airiltalia without any information sent so only because I tried to check in did I find out the flight on KLM was cancelled and we were changed to Airitalia. The Airitalia flight was very mediocre."

Cons: "the connecting times for klm seem to be very close - if your running late to start - you may not make your next one -"

Cons: "Paid for extra legroom, but very narrow seats not comfortable. Very difficult to sleep. Old plane--could not hear movies and unclear screen. Music sounded OK and choice was good."
Cons: "I ordered Wheel chair for my parents but one of them didn't get it at all. When my parents were checking in for flight they asked the representative about meal selection and she didn't answer their questions properly and because of that my mom didn't get proper Hindu Vegetarian food on flight instead she got Egg omelet which she couldn't eat. She has to eat just fruits. My mother is a diabetic patient and she needs a food every after some time. I never had such a bad experience before with any other airlines."
Pros: "We got to Amsterdam on time"
Cons: "1. Paying for the seats we chose...that will never happen again...I'll fly another airline first. 2. The food was terrible. I have flown KLM for years, this was not what I expected. 3. The plane was very dirty"

Pros: "Friendly staff"

Cons: "Entertainment went out mid flight. Had to be reset off 30 mins but cam back up"

Cons: "Flight was delayed by 2 hours. Could have gone to Amsterdam and come back in that time"
Pros: "Excellent experience with the cabin crew."
Cons: "Seats on the 777 were too narrow. This 777 had a 3-4-3 seating arraignment, it would have been better with a 3-3-3, similar to a 787 configuration. With the current layout, even with an aisle seat, I was sitting in the aisle. And I am not a large person! The flight was full, so use the 787 and two daily non-stops. For a twelve hour flight, the food was only Okay, could have been better and with a better selection. Meal timing was poor."
Cons: "Flight was delayed 8 hours. Arriving at Incheon, discovered ground crew were unaware of our arrival to take this connecting flight. However, we were put up overnight in a hotel, which was nice."
Pros: "Comfort economy well worth the extra."
Cons: "Flight delayed by one hour which meant I missed by train at Southampton by 10 minutes and subsequent bus connect home. Next bus would have been 2 hours later so 45 minute walk home from train station. Didn't bother with food offering, put off by that supplied from Hannover to Schiphol."

Pros: "trip was pretty nice"
Cons: "service excellent"
Cons: "Missed my flight because the baggage check in closed, but what bothered me was that the attendant did not give any solutions or help, just coldly said "you can't get on because you can't check in your bag" and continued to tell me that I should just throw my luggage and all my things away to at least check in and get my body on the plane. I felt like I had to coerce her for help or advice on what I should do with my situation and she didn't really give me any beneficial help until right before my gate closed and my plane departed. As customer service, shouldn't they offer help without having the customer feel like they need to convince the check in attendant to give them alternate solutions?"
Pros: "Missed the connection"
Cons: "Felt helpless and frustrated."
Pros: "The crew was spectacular. They had 20 crew members."
Cons: "Our luggage did not arrive at our final destination of Madrid. It was awful. Also, after many passengers, including us, had fallen asleep, they woke us to put our seat backs up so the people behind us could put their tray tables down."

I had been looking forward to catching up on some movies ( rarely have time for to or movies usually) was disappointed to have no working screen on such a long flight. Did appreciate the effort to supply a gluten free meal, unfortunately someone added whole wheat crackers ( luckily still in wrapper ). The boarding area was mixed with people trying to get to New Jersey at the next gate making it very crowded and confusing, people found themselves in the wrong line."
Pros: "Awesome"
Pros: "The flight was on time, smooth connection"
Pros: "No problems. As could be expected. Would do again."
Pros: "Depart on time. Entertainment excellent"
Pros: "entertainment and food was good"
Cons: "My wifes luggage was lost, no followup at all from Lufthansa (main) or in Seville which was our destination. We had to call to find out any information. Once the bag was found and delivered to Seville, Lufthansa personnel again did not tell us nor would they deliver the bag to our hotel as the driver had already left. We then had to wait another day to have the bag delivered to Granada. Terrible customer service, the bag was missing for four days causing us to spend time shopping for clothes rather than experiencing the city."
Pros: "Short trip, but nice crew."
Pros: "Attention on the counter and at the boarding gate were excellent"
Cons: "The in flight entertainment system was broken, they changed me seats however that one wouldn't lean, after that went back to the original seat.

Pros: "Lots of space."

Cons: "Little more leg room would be nice"
Pros: "Aircraft crew and operations were excellent."
Cons: "My original itinerary was booked with Airfare.com with a 93 minute layover at ORD, subsequently abbreviated to 40 minutes. Despite my repeated requests, neither Airfare.com nor United nor Lufthansa were willing to adjust my consequent itinerary to correct that conspicuous deficiency. Instead, both United and Lufthansa representatives repeatedly assured me that the 40 minute connection would present no problem; and Airfare.com tried to extract a 33% premium on its original sale to make any such adjustment. As it turned out, my apprehensions were realized when boarding and tarmac delays at SFO consumed the entire layover, and a subsequent gate delay at ORD frustrated the commendable efforts of the flight crew to facilitate the de-boarding of passengers with close connections. Contrary to United and Lufthansa's explicit reassurances, the long run halfway down one concourse and all the way back up a second left me four minutes short of the gate closure. You guys need to get your act together. If either airline chooses to finance its operations by selling tickets to an "aggregator", such a business practice should not relieve the airline of its obligation to provide reliable service to its ultimate customer, the flyer. I am currently working to identify an appropriate regulatory agency to whom to report this cynical misrepresentation of services and the patently corrupt business model upon which it is based."
Pros: "Everything was good, on time and without problems"
Cons: "Chairs might have been more comfortable"
Pros: "Great airline. Crew were friendly and helpful."
Pros: "Worst flight experience EVER"
Cons: "Still have not found our lost bags"
Cons: "The 24 layover in Chicago with no possible flight out. If I didn't make the rescheduled flight, I would have been at least 48 hours in the airport waiting on another flight. Because I was unfamiliar with the area and was not offered any accommodations, I didn't sleep the entire time I was in Chicago. I also had to stand in line for a very long time and by the time I was done rebooking my flight all the airport restaurants were closed. I understand there are flight cancellations, but it just would have been nice if the airport was a little more accommodating."

Pros: "Great service. Smooth flight, take off and landing."
Cons: "Cramped seating."
Pros: "Overall, United in US gets a two rating. International flights get a four rating."

Pros: "I like how they boarded the back of the plane first!"
Cons: "The seats weren't as comfortable as other airlines. The food wasn't very good either."
Cons: "More comfortable seat"
Pros: "Great crew, smooth flight"
Cons: "My flight from ORD-DUB arrived late causing us to miss our connecting flight to Madrid. I talked to an agent and they told us we would have to pick up our bags at a different carousel and then go to the ticketing agent for a new flight. 1 ticketing agent+3 hours of waiting = 1 pissed off traveler."
Pros: "nice airline clean"
Cons: "is really nice I will flay with them they are ok"
Cons: "They lost our luggage and we can't reach anyone who can help us find it. The customer service people are very unhelpful"
Cons: "My luggage was delayed and did not arrive to Madrid 2 days later after I had already left the city. I tried to contacted the Aer Lingus but their contact office was at oversea (not in Madrid). It cost me so much $$$ to make international phone call to locate my luggage. But, still without success..."
Pros: "I'm very angry that the ticket sold to me was British Airways and I was told on the airport by British Airways that I should check in at the Air Lingus counter! This is cheating and false advertising!!!"
Cons: "Everything could have been better!"
Pros: "Everything was good except the flight from Dublin to Prague..., I was really thirsty.., and they charged me even for water..!"
Cons: "Free drink/ water on the second flight !"
Pros: "Flight was quick"
Cons: "Small seat no recline very crowded"
Cons: "Poor customer service"
Cons: "The flight was booked through Jetfly and I tried to change the date. I ended up losing the entire ticket. No flight, no money. I talked to Jetfly at least 8 times and they kept confusing things, delaying things, and were not very helpful which caused me to miss any available flights."
Pros: "We got to Dublin"
Cons: "Cabin, seats, too many people in too small a space"
Pros: "Service was excellent. The flight was on schedule."
Cons: "I would have liked an exit seat but none were available when I attempted to purchase one."
Pros: "Flight was great! Staff was friendly and attentive, plane was on time as promised! Really a positive experience."
Cons: "The entire crew needs to be a little attentive to their passengers you could visually see when they needed to assist a guest it was a bother to them."
Pros: "Plenty of leg room. Friendly staff. Decent meal. Reminds me of how the airlines used to act."
Cons: "Didn't serve wine"
Pros: "Smooth landing. Entertainment. That's about it."
Cons: "I've flown many overseas trips some first, some premium, some economy. This economy was the worst. I felt like a sardine smashed in a tin can. Also, extra to buy snacks and drinks? Not looking forward to the flight back. Would love to upgrade but site won't let you :( even if it gives you an option to do so"
Pros: "Everything wa on time"
Pros: "friendly crew. flight was early"
Cons: "No free wine. Could not hear movies most of time."
Pros: "Loaded plane back to front. Organized."
Cons: "Hard seats."
Pros: "The crew were friendly but one side of the plane received water, coffee & tea after the meal but the other side didn't until the last snack. Again, one side got a hot snack and then they ran out so the other side only got cookies in a package."
Cons: "Broken suitcase. I have traveled quite a bit with these hard sided suitcases over the past six years and witnessed some pretty rough handling. None of that caused any damage, so I am not sure what they did to break one down the entire length."
Pros: "Food was surprisingly good. Love all the snack breaks."
Cons: "Too many intercom interruptions. Terrible TV functionality. Poor entertainment selection. Extremely uncomfortable seats. And they lost our luggage for two days."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and helpful"
Cons: "The food was really bad, The breakfast sandwich they handed out would not have been fit for animals. Horrible!!!! The entertainment equipment on the aircraft was not working and my wife and I were not able to see a movie or anything. Not a good way to take a long flight. My seat was not working properly and was either all the way back or all the way up."
Cons: "We were told we would revive a seat at the bulkhead with a bassinet. We did not."
Cons: "Flight was delayed and ultimately canceled. what a chaotic experience coming and going to Ireland. poor service and customer relation"
Pros: "Timely, no pain"
Cons: "Food, no vegetarian options"
Pros: "The cabin staff were pleasant as we boarded."
Cons: "The food was mediocre at best. No attempt to bring around water or other drinks between food to encourage hydration. When I went back to the galley to seek some water, all 3 attendants were asleep - 2 even had blankets over their heads! It did not seem like they were particularly into providing a pleasant experience for passengers."
Pros: "Food excellent, plane staff pleasant. Plane was late."
Cons: "They lost my luggage. The young man at the,AL desk at Frankfort was tude,and dismissive. It is more than 24 hours later now and they have made no contact."
Cons: "Online check in was terrible. Takes 45 minutes to get a hold of a customer service representative"
Cons: "The air conditioning on the plane flight from Chicago to Dublin was way too cold. I am was glad to have my winter clothes but I was still cold. Other than that the crew dis everything else to make the flight good."
Pros: "Generally good service. Clean plane and friendly staff."
Cons: "Seat in front of me broke into a reclining position. Made the flight uncomfortable. Although nothing could be done to fix it during the flight, it might have been nice if they had offered me a perk for the trouble."
Pros: "The flight was on time, the crew was very friendly and helpful. However, two members of our party (of five) lost their bags. It has been 5 days since our flight and while I am happy to say the bags have been "found", they still have not been returned to us. If all goes well, we should have the bags later today, but it's tough sledding to go for 6 days without any of your things."
Pros: "The takeoff, flight, and landing were all very smooth. The staff were nice and courteous. The boarding went smoothly."
Cons: "The video screen for my seat locked up and was unusable."
Pros: "We were in coach, and it was crowded but not impossible. The space was clean; the crew relatively attentive; and the service as acceptable."
Cons: "The meal choices were extremely limited. For example, "breakfast" at the last hour leg of the trip from ORD to DUB consisted of a ham and cheese croissant ONLY-no options; no yogurt; no fruit; nothing. It was a "take it or leave it" proposition. Then, to add insult to injury, on the trip from Dublin to Barcelona, there was only "food for sale"! What is that about? I mean it's a four-hour flight; one might think that aside from Pringles and Kit-Kat bars some thought might have gone into the nutritional content of the "FOOD"!!! This was quite disappointing."
Cons: "We didn't like the charge to select seats together"
Cons: "Late flight made our connection at Dublin very nerve-racking. We had to almost run to get to our connecting flight."
Pros: "Great boarding experience, good food"
Cons: "Speakers for entertainment were ridiculous, poor ear speakers made it impossible to hear selection. I opted to use my own ear buds and iPad for entertainment. Seating was very poor for an overnight flight I expected more room and at least would have liked to sleep with my head on the tray but with the passenger in front of me leaned back there was barely enough room to get up and use the bathroom"
Cons: "Our flights were changed numerous times."
Cons: "The airport is a joke ! People couldn't be more rude ! Trying to print boarding pass was beyond difficult the staff was unaccomidating and there were 4 screaming babies for 6 hours straight ! Also we tried to change the flight and couldn't unless we pay over $400 !!! We will NEVER fly with you again"
Pros: "The entertainment was good and the meals were tasty"
Cons: "My luggage was lost"
Pros: "Despite the three-hour delay and some frustrated passengers, the cabin crew stayed very calm and positive."
Cons: "The flight left about three hours late, which isn't really anyone's fault, but it would have been nice to be told more specifically what was going on (what the problem was, estimated time it will take, maybe ensure passengers that the airline is aware of all their connecting flights and are already placing them on new flights)"
Cons: "I don't like that if I get sick and have to go to a hospital and have to change travel dates, Aer Lingus has no policy to reimburse me for the flights I can't make. So I buy new tickets and lose the money on the old tickets. That is terrible customer service and makes other airlines more attractive."
Cons: "Aer Lingus lost my husband's baggage and 3 weeks later it has not been found. We had to buy all new clothes, inc a new suit for our wedding which is what we were traveling for."
Pros: "The food was adequate and movies were available to watch theough out the flight."
Cons: "When our flight was canceled we were refused service repeatedly by both airport and phone support, and forced to stay in a hotel. On the rescheduled flight we were forced to relinquish priority seats. This was the worst airline experience I have ever been a part of. We sat on the tarmac for 5 hours before the flight was canceled and no other options were left. Our second flight to replace that was rescheduled at a different time without notifying us. No service, no offer to recuperate lost time and money, no compensation offered. Flat out terrible service."
Cons: "There were 150 people scheduled for this flight that only had 25 seats on it. All they could day was that it was either a glitch on the computer. Or a glitch when people bought tickets. Luckily I made it to Chicago on time, because I asked before everyone else found out. But you thought they would have told us way before the flight was scheduled to leave."
Cons: "Our luggage was lost and 24 hours later, still no luck. We have no clothes, no essentials. I called because after 24hours there were no updates at all."
Pros: "Cabin crew"

One Video: Butterfly Effect by Travis Scott
Time for some chaos theory
By Kaitlyn Tiffany and Lizzie Plaugic Jul 14, 2017, 1:46pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: One Video: Butterfly Effect by Travis Scott
Every week, a slew of new music videos hits the web. Watching them at your desk is not time theft because you deserve it; think of it as a nice reward for surviving another work week. But what if you don't have time to watch every video — maybe you have a deadline, a hungry pet, or other grown-up concerns. In consideration of your schedule, Lizzie and Kaitlyn bring you a series called One Video. Each week we'll tell you "one video" you need to watch, why, and for how long.
This week's video: "Butterfly Effect" by Travis Scott
Lizzie: "Butterfly Effect" marks the second time a Travis Scott video has appeared on your favorite internet column One Video, and to that we say, "What do you want from us, variety?" It's called One Video, not Many Different Videos From Different Artists, which is too long of a name to get tattooed on your body anyway. The first Travis Scott video to land here was "Way Back" starring James Harden.
Kaitlyn: This video includes far fewer memes than "Way Back," but approximately the same number of open-air car rides.
Fortunately for the curious: The co-directors of this video, Alex Lee and Kyle Wightman, posted plenty of behind-the-scenes photos to their Instagram account, giving us some clue as to how they made it look like Travis Scott was safely partying in and around a moving vehicle.

What is the Butterfly Effect?
Lizzie: The Butterfly Effect, not to be confused with "Butterfly Effect," was Ashton Kutcher's attempt to recover his acting career from his role as "Hank" in the 2003 remake of Cheaper by the Dozen. It's also the name of an alt-metal band from Australia with a lead singer named Clint Boge.
Kaitlyn: I don't have a clear memory of the 2004 film The Butterfly Effect, but I know I watched it at one point and declared it a rip-off of Donnie Darko. It's one of those vaguely scary movies you might have rented for your first boy-girl movie night in middle school and struggled to process due to the overwhelming chemical burden of being a human preteen.
Anyway, the film is named after an element of chaos theory — "the butterfly effect" — which states that small events can eventually have very large consequences. I'm not sure why that needs a special name, but it comes from a metaphor about flapping butterfly wings predicting the location of a tornado. I also don't know how any of that plays into this video, although there are butterflies coming out of people's mouths. According to four contributors on Genius, the title might be a reference to Travis Scott's Lamborghini, which has winged doors.
What's special about "Butterfly Effect" by Travis Scott:
Lizzie: "Butterfly Effect" reminds me of that documentary Winona Ryder makes in Reality Bites after Ben Stiller gets ahold of it and makes it look like a hair gel commercial. It also looks like it was shot in a really expensive car dealership, a setting that not enough people have been brave enough to film in.
Kaitlyn: "Butterfly Effect" is also special because it reminds me of another music video with a neon color scheme, trippy animation, and a Lamborghini: 2016's "Yamborghini High," which was one of my favorite music videos before it turned out that more than one member of A$AP Mob had been accused of sexual assault. Travis Scott hasn't been accused of anything, so now "Butterfly Effect" can replace that video in my heart and YouTube queue. Great.
How long everyone should watch "Butterfly Effect" by Travis Scott:
Lizzie: My favorite scenes are the car dealership scenes, specifically 2:16 to 2:25.
Kaitlyn: I like from 1:50 to 1:55 when Travis Scott is riding around on the front of a car and animated pink butterflies are drifting over his body, which is safe because this is a controlled stunt and not something he's doing for real. Plus I like 3:05, when Travis gets struck by lightning, and for the same reason.
When you're done with those clips, you can read a special One Video spinoff. It's an interview with music video director Glassface about animated rap videos like this one. Or just have a snack. I don't care what you do!


Father Martin slid the confessional screen open, revealing the dark shadow of a woman on the other side. As he sat back, the old priest smelled a spicy, oriental scented perfume. He tried not to be curious as he waited for her to begin.
"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned," she said. "It has been 200 years since my last confession."

Dominique ist ein Folk-Rock-Lied der belgischen Nonne Jeannine Deckers, die unter dem Pseudonym Sœur Sourire ( für "Schwester des Lächelns") bzw. The Singing Nun ( für "Die singende Nonne") bekannt wurde.

Inhalt und Geschichte
Das Lied ist dem Hl. Dominikus gewidmet, dem Begründer des Ordens der Dominikaner und der Dominikanerinnen, welchem Sœur Sourire angehörte. Dominique wurde zu einem weltweiten Charthit und lässt sich musikalisch dem Folk-Rock zuordnen. Das französische Original wurde in verschiedene Sprachen übersetzt und erreichte 1963 und 1964 als erste und bisher einzige belgische Single den ersten Platz auf der US-amerikanischen Hitparade Billboard Hot 100. Auch in den Charts in Argentinien, Australien und Kanada erreichte Dominique erste Plätze. 1964 wurde Dominique mit dem Grammy-Award für religiös inspirierte Musik ausgezeichnet und war auch als Grammy-Award für die Aufnahme des Jahres nominiert. Weltweit wurden über 3 Millionen Exemplare der Single verkauft. Zur Bekanntheit des Liedes hat vor allem der Refrain beigetragen:

Dominique -nique -nique s'en allait tout simplement,
Routier, pauvre et chantant.
En tous chemins, en tous lieux, il ne parle que du bon Dieu,
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu.

Deutsche Version:

Dominique Dominique, der zog fröhlich in die Welt
Zu Fuß und ohne Geld
Und er sang an jedem Ort immer wieder Gottes Wort
Immer wieder Gottes Wort.

1982 veröffentlichte Sœur Sourire ein Remake von Dominique im Synthiepop-Stil, das jedoch kommerziell erfolglos blieb.

Nachwirkung
Coverversionen stammen unter anderem von Mary Ford auf englisch, La Lupe, Angélica María und Mirla Castellanos auf spanisch, der brasilianischen Sängerin Giane auf portugiesisch und Judita Čeřovská auf tschechisch.

Im Film Dominique – Die singende Nonne singt die Protagonistin Debbie Reynolds das Lied in einer englischen Version. In einer Episode der Sitcom Eine schrecklich nette Familie wird das Lied von Peg (Katey Sagal) gesungen, in Sœur Sourire – Die singende Nonne von Cécile de France. Als Soundtrack ist Dominique in Meerjungfrauen küssen besser mit Cher und in Ein Concierge zum Verlieben mit Michael J. Fox zu hören.
