Vote of the week: What can Disney do to convince you to buy 'Glow with the Show' ears?
Written by Robert Niles
Disney announced today that it will soon begin triggering "Glow with the Show" ears at Fantasmic! at Disneyland Park. This is the first use of the ears at Disneyland - they've been part of the show at World of Color, the Mad T Party and Cars Land at Disney California Adventure all summer.Tweet
But is enabling their use at another show enough to convince more visitors to buy the ears, which run about $25 a pair? What else could Disney offer would-be buyers to convince them to get these ears?
When the entire crowd is wearing the Glow with the Show ears, the effect is stunning - it expands the show into the audience and makes the event a truly immersive, 360-in-the-round experience. But when only a few people in the crowd have the ears... meh. It just looks like a few people wearing hats that randomly light up. There are not enough ears blinking to see the coordination that's supposed to be there.
I wrote about Disney's Prisoner's Dilemma problem with Glow with the Show ears. But what if Disney offered another inducement when you bought the ears, such as a free, bonus Fastpass to any attraction? Or a reserved space in a special viewing area at a Glow-enabled show? (That perk would have the added benefit of concentrating the ears in one area, making it easier for everyone else to see them in action.) Or what if Disney just expanded the use of Glow ears to Walt Disney World, too. Would being able to use them on both coasts entice you to buy?
Thanks for participating in this week's vote, and thank you again for your continued support of Theme Park Insider! Have a great weekend.

Just lower the price to get them out the door!
A special viewing area would be nice, or a free fastpass, but what about for everyone in your party..? And can you go to the special viewing area every time you watch the show, or is it just the time of purchase?
It's a tough problem to crack...but those ears are the coolest thing i've seen in a long time.
From Tyler Stover on August 10, 2012 at 9:45 PM
So, let me get this straight - I'm to pay $25+ dollars to wear a silly hat that makes the show more enjoyable for other people but does absolutely nothing for me. I studied economics in college, but you don't have to be an econ major to realize that makes no darn sense. Reverse it, so someone pays me $25 to wear the hat, and we have ourselves a deal.
From 220.127.116.11 on August 10, 2012 at 10:27 PM
$25? No freaking way would I buy one.
My solution, give them away with the purchase or renewal of an Annual Pass. APs cost anywhere from $269-$649, we should get these hats for free for the enormous price we pay!
From AJ Hummel on August 10, 2012 at 11:05 PM
As it is right now, I would never buy these. They just are not worth the price, and honestly I couldn't see very many people who are not Disney fanatics or souvenir collectors buying them. I also don't see them being around for too long if they don't sell, and them possibly drawing complaints elsewhere as a distraction (I definitely wouldn't want a sea of these in front of me at Fantasmic).
If Disney wants to maintain the full effect, I see two simple options not suggested above:
1. Rent the ears. Perhaps charge $5 per pair plus a $30 deposit so people have a strong incentive to return them. This would be much more affordable for a family while still giving them the same level of enjoyment.
2. Distribute them at showtimes, then collect them as guests exit (similar to 3D glasses). To distinguish the distributed pairs from purchased ones, perhaps only a headband with the ears and equipment is given out instead of a full hat.
Now, if each pair came with a Dream Fastpass equivalent and I was visiting on a crowded day, I might change my mind, but until then I'll never buy a pair of these.
From Marc Benz on August 10, 2012 at 11:11 PM
People don't seem to mind higher admission prices, so just raise the tickets by $25 and give everyone a hat for free. :-)
And if you can show a hat at the ticket booth, you even get a $25 discount, what a deal.
From Wok Creative on August 11, 2012 at 12:34 AM
Lower the cost - a lot. Too many different ear hats out there already. Nothing that the person wearing them does is interactive. I can't see paying even more, to be a part of the show.
Probably not renewing our passes next time, with the substantial increase. Stopped buying pins... a while back. Kids can't even find things they want to use gift cards for out there anymore. If we get gift cards, we use them for food.
It seems that there could be interactive elements on light poles, trees... - things that would be more consistent anyway. There is no way to know how many hats will turn up at any showing.
From 184.108.40.206 on August 11, 2012 at 1:01 AM
I picked "No Way" because the price is too high for me to pay for them is not an option. The price would have to come down AND there would have to be an added benefit probably before I'd consider. I already paid to get into the park..... I'm not going to pay them so that I can basically be a part of one of the attractions.... that is like asking me to play a small supporting role in one of their films.... but I have to pay them to do it instead of them paying me.
From 220.127.116.11 on August 11, 2012 at 1:06 AM
Basically, what Tyler said makes sense. Why pay $25 for other people to be able to see a light show on my head.
I went to see Coldplay and they used this technology in wrist bands and those were given out before the show. It may have been covered by a sponser or in the ticket price, but they sure did not expect members of the audience to get in on the act by paying an extra $20 or whatever..... because then hardly anyone would have done it and the effect would not have been the same.... but because they gave them to everyone pretty much, the effect was a spectacle that I have never seen at another concert.
From Dominick D on August 11, 2012 at 5:54 AM
They need to expand to WDW and get a free FP with purchase.
From Kolby Ratigan on August 11, 2012 at 6:40 AM
Make them cheap for APs with out the discount
From 220.127.116.11 on August 11, 2012 at 11:06 AM
This is a way overpriced merch item being pitched as something one just has to have to see the show in the right light. First, they come across as something that isn't attractive. Second, as much as we are part of a global economy and a lot of commodities we use come from other countries, knowing that Disney uses their clout to secure rock-bottom prices from overseas suppliers - when they could also be made by American firms - drives me a tad nuts. Sometimes the geniuses who head up marketing, promotions and merchandise should step back and put themselves in their patron's shoes before pissing away their company's dollars to try and present a platform that only the top 1% could afford. What has happened to common sense and reasoning. Like the casinos where the slots players, although detested, still make up the core business; theme parks depend on the yearly, family and local middle-class crowd to keep their businesses humming 365/24/7. We are pushing the point of no return with regard to gate, food and merchandise pricing and I guess that fact will only be impressed upon the leadership of these parks when there numbers drop to a point where the CEO is bounced, stockholders start to scream; and Wall street analysts decry the little guy being taking advantage of.
The sermon has ended...go in peace.
From Stevo B on August 11, 2012 at 5:17 PM
Right out of the gate I'd offer free personalizing of the hats, then I'd offer a family pack discount for purchasing 4 or more, followed by a special "Glow with the Show" ears VIP meet and greet with Mickey and Minnie (throw in a special GWTS demo conducted by M&M).
From Manny Barron on August 11, 2012 at 5:17 PM
I was at DCA this past week and watched World of Color. It's becoming pretty clear these things are not taking over the show. Few people had them to the point where they were not "glowing the show" by any means. It was a decent idea to make some more money off of World of Color, along with the pic-nic meals, but I'm guessing these will be discontinued soon.
From Rob Pastor on August 11, 2012 at 7:37 PM
I like Disney, but I would not be caught dead wearing Mickey ears, of any kind....I made the mistake of putting an Aerosmith wig on momentarily in the Rock & Roller Coaster gift shop. My girlfriend snuck a quick embarrasing picture and emailed it to all my friends & relatives. You have to be careful in this high tech society.
From James Rao on August 12, 2012 at 4:40 AM
Based on the results of this poll so far, over 60% of the people would be interested in the "Glow in the Show" ears, so Disney just has to figure out the best way to circulate them. I like the idea of a reserved viewing area, or multiple reserved areas, for those who purchase the ears. If the viewing areas are properly positioned it could really add to the impact of the show. Seems like a win-win to me.
From 188.8.131.52 on August 12, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Drop the price to $19.99, include special reserved viewing area for the day of with proof of purchase, 1 golden FP ticket and a Special commemorative "Glow with the Show" trading pin only available with purchase of the hat. I'm sure that would move a few more units.
From Mark Hollamon on August 12, 2012 at 2:52 PM
I think what Disney is missing here (or they already are thinking this way and just putting their toes in the water to check it out) is they are sitting on a interactive goldmine with these hats!
Think about it.....You are in the pre-queue for TOT and when the lightning happens on the vid, your ears flash with it! Same for Haunted Mansion. You get the idea: They could be programmed with so many Disney activities. Parades! Shows!
If they expand their capabilities (and a perk would be nice) they would have no problem selling them by the thousands each day.
I love the idea of having these be a perk for Passholders. We've been Premium Passholders for almost 10 years and I think we get a thank you card and 10% off for early renewal.
From Mark Kausch on August 13, 2012 at 5:13 AM
Hmmm. I damn near bought a pair the last time I saw World of Color. But it was at the end of my trip and funds were also kinda near the end.
But then again, I also love Luigi's Flying Tires, so maybe I'm just different.
From Anon Mouse on August 13, 2012 at 8:19 AM
I will never buy one, but if it is offered as part of a dining package with reserved viewing for around $5 to $10, I might consider it. Something like this should be an incentive buy. Otherwise, it makes no sense to buy an expensive object that can only be enjoyed for a few hours at the most.
From Brandon Mendoza on August 13, 2012 at 8:48 AM
If they offered VIP seating/ viewing with them, I'd buy. But yeah, considering the actual owner of the hat can't enjoy them... I guess if you like contributing to the greater good? Too many people are selfish in this world, so unfortunately it will take a lot to convince people to buy a hat that only allows others to enjoy it.
From 188.8.131.52 on August 13, 2012 at 8:55 AM
How about the hats work at home via wifi when on certain Disney web sites. Just a thought. And what do you think is there cost to mass produce these in China? Not research/development. Actual cost to manufactor? I'd say $3. Then why such the price gouging. Probably just a test market to see what people in mass will pay.
From Brandon Mendoza on August 14, 2012 at 10:32 AM
How is it price gouging if the cost of research and development has to be covered as well? DLR is still adding more features to where the Ears work, so the money has to come from somewhere. $10 more for electronics? Considering the regular hats are $15-ish, this ain't bad.
If it fails, it fails. At least Disney tried instead of going with the Status Quo.

The Obama administration has announced that it is canceling tours of the White House because of the sequestration cuts.
Obama wants the cuts to be painful
I agree "Not much for brains but big on his blind ability to follow anything with a D behind its name." Too bad your blind ability to follow anything with a D behind its name doesnt have the brains to recognize you have elected Bush2.0 (Obama won 51%, Not a huge majority and seeing how He was running against romney your still claiming its a huge victory. Now thats funny)
Btw, I vote for whichever politician supports my point of view, Lately that does not include the "D" or "R" folks who are exactly the same in my book. Bigger government, Oh a problem throw money at it, Bigger government, Oh another crises throw money at it, Bigger government, Ect ect ect ad infinium.
Coasterfan's Law of the Ad Nausium: When Obama is mentioned, bring up Bush.
Seems like the country went to H*ll after the Dems took control of Congress in '07.
How people like the pup keep making excuses for this infantile behavior is beyond me.
You're talking about the GOP's "I'm going to hold my breath, then take my toys home, if I don't get my way" with the fiscal cliff and sequester, right?
Well CF,
It's must be comforting to believe the Democrats aren't doing the same thing. Alinsky would be proud!
Id hate to see how the pup raises his kids or manages his finances. This kid could never run a business.....thats apparent.
Godwin's law? It has to do with managing the shipping department at Duck Commander in West Monroe, Louisiana. C'mon, get with the times pooch.
Hey Hey Jack I want to inforce Uncle Sy's law. Rolled up with a leprechaun. Why do we have to tour government housing anyway!!!
At least those rednecks have brains.
For those of you that THINK they know everything about this issue....The only way you can tour the White House is by getting a ticket from your Congressman. Congress are the ones that stopped the White House tours. As far as telling Obama he can`t use taxpayer funds to play golf..I would be more impressed if that also included the 455 members of Congress as well.
I second that motion!
...Although at this point I'd really like to see the Top sanctimonious jerks get it first and then hear someone whine about it... just saying...
The adjective moot is originally a legal term going back to the mid-16th century. It derives from the noun moot, in its sense of a hypothetical case argued as an exercise by law students. Consequently, a moot question is one that is arguable or open to debate. But in the mid-19th century people also began to look at the hypothetical side of moot as its essential meaning, and they started to use the word to mean "of no significance or relevance." Thus, a moot point, however debatable, is one that has no practical value. A number of critics have objected to this use, but 59 percent of the Usage Panel accepts it in the sentence The nominee himself chastised the White House for failing to do more to support him, but his concerns became moot when a number of Republicans announced that they, too, would oppose the nomination. When using moot one should be sure that the context makes clear which sense is meant.
Note LAST sentence.
A moot point is an expression meaning that something doesn't matter so there is no point for debate because of certain circumstances. It is either irrelevant/not worth arguing over.
The White House tour are conducted by unpaid volunteers. He slows air travel down but yet finds $450 million dollars to give to the Muslim Brotherhood running Egypt this week.
Thought it was open as a historical landmark
Wow un-american
For my part I would rather see tours cut at the White House than say medical care at the Veteran's Hospital, or ammo to the troops in Middle East, or other life saving items.
These cuts remind me when cuts were to be make to the library system in Cuyahoga County. People thought it was a good idea to cut branches or in some cases consolidate them etc. UNTIL that is it was THEIR branch just down the street and then it was NO NO NO not my branch. Cuts are good in goverment costs but when it gets a bit too close to home most folks change their mind and say well maybe cutting is not as good as it sounds.
Look at it this way Rush and Shawn and Mark has so much to talk about and condem in their radio talk shows and lets face facts for them business of the mouth is good in the conservative world and they are "laughing: all the ay to the back to deposit their paychecks.....and the money keeps rolling in for them everyday.
@ Mr. Jackson:
Try a weekly experiment.
One week simply write: "Obama" in the headline and no text.
Next week write "Bush" in the same manner as previously described.
IMO, you'll probably get comments with little to no work involved.
Kinda reminds me of the Newspeak dictionary in "Nineteen Eighty-Four": Control the language and you control the thinking.
@ 2cents:
Thanks. Powerful video.
Reminds me of the saying: "God made men, but Sam Colt made them equal."
Also: You can ameliorate risk, you can never totally eliminate it.
That woman quoting her statistics is a fool.
Your welcome, the closure of my letter to the SR editor in 1987 below. Same goes for the 26 year old in the cage, oops, S happens!
"We, the most powerful nation, may find ourselves on the backside of prosperity as the rest of the world laughs at us and walks on by. The choice is ours, we consumers and jurors. I want to enjoy life and if it takes some risk, I guess it is what my parents anticipated I must accept when they created me."
Dont worry. For $500,000 dollars you can get 4 private meetings with Obama this year........What a joke this administration is.
Want me to lend it to ya?
you will never see that much money in your whole life. lol
Obama wants the cuts to hurt: Gohmert referenced press reports pegging the cost of a recent Florida golf outing Obama took with Tiger Woods at $1 million. He also cited press reports saying 341 federal workers could have been spared furloughs if Obama had stayed home.
Hey, but this buffoon knows personally about the pains many Americans are feeling......yeah, try and sell this nation another lie.......
Goober gohmert? Oh boy!
Anything of importance to add or just going to ignore the facts. Contango is right, you add nothing to the topic. Just pointless banter. lol.
Obama will do anything to make the Republicans look bad. He is not capable of working with people outside of his party. Just think in another three years Americans can blame him for everything that is screwed up.
'Because of sequester, they cut my tails,' Obama said at the head table of the Gridiron Club's spring dinner March 9, opening with an allusion to the budget sequestration he has ordered. 'My joke writers have been placed on furlough.'"
Good that Pres. BHO can afford to be funny while citizens are suffering eh?

To support the implementation of the Partnership, the EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (the Trust Fund) was launched in 2007. It encourages the financing of infrastructure programmes which facilitate interconnectivity and regional integration on the African continent. It aims to support synergies between European development agencies for the benefit of Africa, leveraging additional funds by blending grants from the European Commission and EU Member-States with long-term loan finance made available by eligible Financiers.
At the same time that the Partnership was created, a Steering Committee – represented equally by European and African members- was established with the aim of providing policy and strategic orientation to the activities of the Infrastructure Partnership.
The Trust Fund Executive Committee is the governing body of the Trust Fund.
The Project Financiers Group (PFG) brings together the nominated Project Financiers, i.e. a Development Finance Institution, Bank, Member State Agency or public body with international development project expertise, nominated by each Donor and agreed by the Executive Committee.

The talents they always release with the 'x.0' pre-patch. That is mostly due to some basic facts about how the game is set up.
When you buy Vanilla WOW, you are buying the 1-60 leveling experience, the original 9 classes and *all of their talent trees*, all the professions except for archaeology, and the original 8 races.
As you buy expansions the relevant content is added to this base.
Whenever a new expansion comes out, any of the above mentioned material that gets changed somehow (like the new talent system) has to be introduced with the pre-patch because everyone needs to be playing the same patch, even someone who only owns Vanilla WOW. Since Pandaren weren't part of the original game, they will not be introduced in the pre-patch unless Blizzard makes a very poor business decision by releasing them for free.

text: content Recommendation #1: Life Extension Mix™ Now with an even more effective form of Selenium! Tweet Despite constant media publicity aimed at consumers by government health agencies and private organizations, the majority of Americans still do not eat enough fruits and vegetables every day. Increasingly, scientists are telling Americans that they must consume these kinds of plants in order to avoid a host of age-related problems. As part of a formulation that already provides the world's broadest spectrum of botanical extracts, Life Extension Mix™ includes maqui berry and tart cherry for greater antioxidant support,8-16 C3G (Cyanidin-3-Glucoside) (a cutting-edge flavonoid compound fromblackcurrant17-21 extract) that helps to support night vision22-25 … and Indian gooseberry26-28 extract,as part of Crominex® 3+, an advanced chromium complex that helps support healthy glucose metabolism in those already within normal range.29 Along with over two dozen other fruit and vegetable extracts,30-32 Life Extension Mix™ provides high-potency vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that form the cornerstone of a comprehensive health maintenance program. Standardized Pomegranate Extract The pomegranate extract contained in Life Extension Mix™ is standardized to provide the biologically active punicalagins that are so unique to this fruit. Pomegranate punicalagins are 100% water-soluble and have shown a remarkable 95% absorption rate.33 When tested against popular antioxidant food extracts, pomegranate demonstrated the most potent free radical-suppressing effects. This means that pomegranate punicalagins not only absorb much better than other natural antioxidants, but they also have a superior antioxidant capacity. Peer-reviewed published human and animal studies show that pomegranate helps maintain healthy cardiovascular function.34-37 Pomegranate also has the unique property of helping to maintain healthy DNA structure in the prostate cells.38-42 The daily dose of Life Extension Mix™ provides the pomegranate extract which is standardized to provide the punicalagins and other polyphenols found in up to 2.6 ounces of pomegranate juice. Standardized Blueberry Extract Blueberry anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that have demonstrated properties that extend well beyond suppressing free radicals. For instance, blueberries have been shown to not only improve memory, but to also help with some of the degenerative changes seen in aging neurons. 43,44 One study showed that the ability of blueberries to suppress free radicals and inflammation in the rat brain was analogous to long-term calorie restriction.44 These findings hint that blueberries might be able to reverse certain aspects of brain aging! Blueberry's other active constituent (pterostilbene) helps maintain already normal lipid and glucose levels.45 Even more exciting is that these blueberry constituents (pterostilbene and anthocyanins) may help maintain healthy DNA structure.46-50 Life Extension Mix™ contains standardized wild blueberry extract that provides the most active constituents found in this health-promoting fruit.

While everyone is waiting for the 2011 Dodge Challenger , today the company decided to reveal the first details on a special-edition Mopar version for the muscle car. The new Mopar 2010 Dodge Challenger, arrives in Dodge dealerships next month and is priced at $38,000 for an automatic transmission and $39,000 for a manual transmission
Based on a Challenger R/T model, the Mopar version is powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine and features a hood-venting system that adds to the mean look of the vehicle like a flaring nostril on a raging bull. Additionally the Mopar Challenger gets a cold-air intake, a front strut-tower brace with shock caps, and a unique engine cover.
Just off of a first glance alone, this Challenger looks very serious. The 20" forged heritage gloss-black wheels are a perfect partner for the Brilliant Black exterior color with contrasting Mopar Blue, Red, or Silver. On the exterior it will be distinguished by a black-chromed grille surround, a functional, vented T/A-style hood with vintage hood pins, and Mopar logos and graphics. On the interior it gets Katzkin leather seating, custom leather-wrapped steering wheel with baseball-style stitching, Mopar shift handles (T-handle for automatics, Pistol Grip for manuals), a serialized dash plaque with Mopar '10 logo, and Mopar branding throughout.
UPDATE 07/09/2010: Dodge has release a video narrated by Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of the Mopar brand, Mark Trostle, Chief of the Dodge's Exterior Design department, and Dan Zimmermann, Head of Dodge Interior Design and Mopar Interiors as they guide you through all of the changes this muscle car undertook to get to the "sinister" look that Dodge and Mopar intended for this special edition. Check it out after the jump!
UPDATE 07/24/2010: Dodge has released a few pictures of the 2010 Dodge Mopar Challenger! Check them out in the picture gallery provided!
Press release after the jump.
Press release
For the first time in its history, Chrysler Group LLC will launch a special-edition Mopar® version of one of its vehicles. The Mopar '10, a Mopar 2010 Dodge Challenger, arrives in Dodge dealerships next month.
"Our Mopar '10 Challenger is a collaboration of two iconic brands with tremendous heritage," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC. "Dodge put the heart into this Challenger and Mopar added the soul. The result is a unique, special-edition car that only we can offer."
The U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for Mopar '10 is $38,000 for an automatic transmission and $39,000 for a manual transmission. Both prices include $750 for destination. Customers may pre-order now.
"Mopar '10 has a wicked, sinister appearance that will turn heads." said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO of Dodge, Chrysler Group LLC. "The Mopar brand resonates with hard-core enthusiasts, and this car will too."
Dodge and Mopar collaborated to create Mopar '10, a "Mopar modified" 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T. Under-the-hood features include the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine, a hood-venting system, a cold-air intake, a front strut-tower brace with shock caps, and a unique engine cover. Under the decklid is a rear strut-tower brace that stiffens the chassis and improves handling characteristics of the car.
Mopar '10 will be available in Brilliant Black with a choice of three accent colors: Mopar Blue, Red or Silver. Accent colors will appear on side stripes as well as in the stitching on the steering wheel and seats. Exterior features include 20-inch forged heritage gloss-black wheels, black-chromed grille surround, and a functional, vented T/A-style hood with vintage hood pins. Mopar logos and graphics are prominent on the front fascia, hood, hood-pin caps, body-side stripes, windows and on the chromed fuel door. A special Mopar '10 car cover also comes with the vehicle.
Interior features include Katzkin leather seating, custom leather-wrapped steering wheel with baseball-style stitching, Mopar shift handles (T-handle for automatics, Pistol Grip for manuals), a serialized dash plaque with Mopar '10 logo and Mopar branding throughout.
Every customer who purchases a Mopar '10 will receive a special owner kit that includes a certificate with the vehicle identification number (VIN), date of build completion, and build number. The kit also includes a limited-edition sketch of the vehicle signed by Chrysler Group design chief Mark Trostle, a book that highlights the special vehicle build, and Mopar '10 merchandise.

Why we're all getting funny about feminism
When comedian Bridget Christie's new radio show quietly launched earlier this month, few people believed her…More
While we're good at remembering the extraordinary women who have fought for gender equality and brought about significant changes in society, it's also worth thinking about the men who have also championed women's rights, which may not have otherwise been brought to the fore.
By no means is this us saying that we need men to fight our battles for us, but it's important to recognise that men are pretty great too. So, here's a whole load of chaps we like.

Yes, we mean that John Legend. Yes, the bloke who sung Ordinary People. At a recent press conference for Chime for Change, he said: "All men should be feminists. If men care about women's rights, the world will be a better place." [via]. He also added this: "we are better off when women are empowered –- it leads to a better society." Form an orderly queue, ladies.

A fervent supporter of women's rights, Sir Pat has spoken out various times about violence against women, as a result of seeing his mother suffer under the hands of his father, who was abusive.

Despite the fact that this interview came out in 2012, this clip of Dustin Hoffman speaking about his experiences when he was in Tootsie went viral in early July this year. We don't want to spoil it for you, so watch the whole interview here, just make sure you have a couple of tissues handy.

We can probably all agree that the Dalai Lama's pretty ace. Not only does he have one of the best Twitter feeds, upon receiving the National Civil Rights Museum's International Freedom Award, in Memphis, Tennessee, he said: "I call myself a feminist. Isn't that what you call someone who fights for women's rights?"

The late lead singer of Nirvana was well-known for being outspoken on various subjects, and in particular rape: "Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there." [via NME]

Andy Samberg, made famous through his spoof band The Lonely Island, could be construed as being sexist but actually he's not. And here's why: when he went to the Spike TV awards (Spike TV is a channel just for men), he wore a National Organisation for Women, Berkeley t-shirt. When quizzed on it, he said: "I thought it would be funny, because obviously Spike TV is very in the opposite direction... but you know, I'm from Berkeley, California, I can't go into that thing wholeheartedly. I had to put a little wink in somewhere to let everyone know back home that I hadn't gone all the way." [via ]

A staunch supporter of gay and women's rights, Peter Tatchell has written an essay on why he admires the lesser known Sylvia Pankhurst.

When discussing gender politics on Dazed Digital, this is what singer Antony Hegarty had to say: "Women have a full spectrum of potential, just like men do. It's more about tendencies and reaching into the idea of archetypes. It's just framing it semantically, so we can simplify the idea and begin to grapple with our options. There are plenty of women that work within male systems or support them: raising little kings, relegating their daughters to the kitchen. Women have conspired with men in this process because it served women's interests in the past, when they needed men to defend the fortress – it was a matter of priority. But those archetypes are not serving our best interests any more." [via]

We did a quick poll in the office and it turns out that Ryan Gosling is every woman's dream male feminist. If you weren't persuaded by his credentials from feministryangosling.com tumblr, then perhaps the following might change your mind. When discussing the sex scene between him and Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine he said: " Black Swan has an oral scene between two women, and that's an R rating," he told the World Entertainment News Network, "but ours is between a husband and his wife, and that's NC-17?" [via]. What he was saying was that when a woman performs oral sex on a man in a movie, the ratings board deems that R-worthy, but if the genders are reversed, the rating is stricter.
OK, we've harboured a crush for POTUS ever since… More details
OK, we've harboured a crush for POTUS ever since we saw him singing Al Green. But that aside, he's also pretty straight down the line when it comes to championing women's rights. "I want women to have their own health choices, just like I want my daughters to have the same opportunities as your sons." That's pretty brilliant, no?

Comedian Rob Delaney recently wrote this piece for the Guardian, in it he said: "I support a woman's right to safe, legal abortion because centuries of history shows us that women are going to get abortions whether they're safe and legal or not.

In response to the following question: Why do Republicans seem so obsessed with female reproductive rights? He replied: "It's hard for me to say.

What a handsome man Jon Hamm is. Not only that, he's also said some pretty ace things about women. "It is an important thing to instill in a younger generation about the impact of rape, the lasting impact of rape. Children from grade school to high school to college are incredibly susceptible and incredibly malleable, as we all know. To get them early, to teach them about the facts and figures and other realities of rape is key. It is an important issue to me as not only a man, but as an educator, as a human being and as a person on this planet." [via]

But no one was prosecuted. However, at that year's MTV awards, Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys in his acceptance speech for best video addressed the fact that there had been so many cases of sexual assaults and rapes at the festival and the need for bands and festivals to pay much more attention to the security details at their concerts.

An awful lot of older women and gentlemen go to the theatre, and the population is getting older." Ah, Gandalf, we knew we liked you for more than your beard.

William Morris was a designer who spearheaded the arts and crafts movement and a successful businessman. He was also a social reformer and a feminist. "As long as women are compelled to marry for a livelihood, real marriage is a rare exception and prostitution or a kind of legalized rape the rule," he wrote to George Bernard Shaw in 1885.

There's a debate about whether Spanish director is a feminist. But we're going to go out on a limb here and say that he is. And here's why: he's got the ability to portray women in all their forms. Whether that's femme fatales, business women, depressed girls, mothers, daughters and transgender, he's got the bases covered. Not only that he doesn't pretend that women are perfect and for that, we salute him.

When Texas recently decided that it would implement a new law that effectively closed down the majority of its abortion clinics, many Texan women were upset by this, including Billy Cain's daughter who held up this sign at a demonstration. However, Billy Cain's daughter was then the subject of anti pro-choice abuse, and so he took to Twitter to defend her. What a dad. What a man.

black hat SEO (search engine optimization)
In search engine optimization (SEO) terminology, black hat SEO refers to the use of aggressive SEO strategies, techniques and tactics that focus only on search engines and not a human audience, and usually does not obey search engines guidelines.
Some examples of black hat SEO techniques include keyword stuffing, invisible text, doorway pages, adding unrelated keywords to the page content or page swapping (changing the webpage entirely after it has been ranked by search engines).
Black Hat SEO Usage
Black hat SEO is more frequently used by those who are looking for a quick financial return on their Web site, rather than a long-term investment on their Web site. Black hat SEO can possibly result in your Web site being banned from a search engine, however since the focus is usually on quick high return business models, most experts who use Black Hat SEO tactics consider being banned from search engines a somewhat irrelevant risk.
Black hat SEO may also be referred to as unethical SEO or spamdexing, as spamdexing is a frequently used black hat SEO practice.
Contrast with White Hat SEO.

Louise, Duchess of Devonshire's 'Queen of Zenobia' Ball Gown for the Devonshire House Ball by House of Worth, 1897 Paris (worn in England), Chatsworth
Ball gown with an under-robe of cloth of silver, wrought all over with silver thread and brilliants, and with an over-dress of green and gold shot-silk gauze, embroidered to the waist with green and gold metalwork, decorated with jewels. A long train of turquoise velvet, embroidered in gold to an oriental design, was attached to the shoulders. A bodice of gold cloth and lace was fitted over a whalebone corset into which her waist was tightly laced. The headdress that went with it has not survived, but it can be seen in Lafayette's photograph.
The dress was made for Louise, Duchess of Devonshire by the House of Worth to wear at the celebrated Diamond Jubilee Ball at Devonshire House. It was a fancy dress ball and Louise attended as Queen Zenobia, the warrior Queen of Palmyra. The Duchess may have got the idea for the theme of the dress from Inigo Jones's costume designs for Court Masques that are in the drawing collections at Chatsworth.
Unfortunately, the images are really small.
Edward IV period costume, 1896 England, Fancy Dresses Described by Ardern Holt
(1461-1883) The period is illustrated in Fig. 12 by a simple satin gown with revers of contrasting color, such as ruby with light pink; the head-dress of ruby velvet richly embroidered and jeweled. A veil of lisse depending from each point and floating at the back. The steeple-chase head-dresses were the particular feature of the day. They are described as rolls of linen pointed like steeples, half an ell high, some having a wing at the side called butterflies; the cap was covered with lawn, which fell to the ground, and was tucked under the arm; many chains about the neck; velvet, silk, damask cloth of gold, costly furs, and striped materials, all worn. The period was illustrated in the Health Exhibition of 1884 by a female figure taken from the King Rene Paris Library. The skirt divided in two down the centre, with gold braid, each half subdivided into divisions of pink, or dark blue, gold or white satin, some having diagonal heraldic emblazoning in gold; gold belt round the waist where bodice ends; white chemisette with an upright plaiting at neck, and gold necklet; sleeves of pink satin, bordered with gold, tight blue ones beneath, forming a point on either side of the hand; stomacher of white satin crossed with gold; steeple head-dress in gold color, distended with wire, long veil to feet.
Incroyable fancy dress, 1887 England, Fancy Dresses Described by Ardern Holt
Incroyable (1789). Short red, white, and blue skirt; blue satin coat with tails lined with red, and revers; lace ruffles; gold buttons; cravat of old lace; gendarme hat, with tricolour rosette; black shoes and buckles, blue stockings. Old-fashioned gold-headed cane; fob, eyeglass. (Coloured Illustration, Plate VIII.) Or, striped satin skirt, red, white, and blue; gold satin tunic, looped up with red roses; handsome long-tailed coat of blue satin, lined gold, and large gold buttons, and bouquet of roses in buttonhole; high frill and jabot at throat; chapeau a la claque, trimmed gold and brocade, tricolour at side; blue silk stockings, worked in gold, and patent shoes; eyeglass, and elaborate jewellery. Or, long-tailed coat of sky blue velvet, with large pearl buttons, and a white waistcoat of satin, embroidered with coloured flowers; a skirt of grey tulle with long tunic of soft grey silk looped up gracefully with pale blue satin ribbon; grey silk hose embroidered with coloured silk flowers; dark blue slippers, very large satin bows; powdered head tied with a queue; cocked hat, wide lace cravat; cane with gold head, quaint scissor-shaped eye-glass of the period. This is a very favourite costume. Sometimes the skirts are hand-painted; sometimes there are triple revers to the coat, for which plush is a good material; blue with white satin skirt, trimmed with gold, is a good mixture.
Lady Evelyn Cavendish, later Duchess of Devonshire (1870-1960), as a Lady at the Court of the Empress Maria Theresa [1745-65], at the Devonshire House Diamond Jubilee Ball, 1897 London
The Devonshire House Ball was one of the most splendid celebrations of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. In 1892 the 8th Duke of Devonshire married the widowed Duchess of Manchester, Louise von Alten, whom he had known for many years. The 'Double Duchess' was a famous hostess and Devonshire House as well as Chatsworth became the focus of entertainments on a scale that had not been seen since the 6th Duke's time. Those invited to the Diamond Jubilee Ball came in full fancy dress. The Duchess was magnificent as the Queen Zenobia of Palmyra, with a dress to match. The Duke was, rather unexpectedly, the Emperor Charles V, and his young cousin and eventual successor Victor Cavendish was also in 16th -century dress as one of Holbein's 'Ambassadors'.
Dolly Madison Breakfast, Mrs William F Dennis and Mrs Chase Riker, 1912
I wonder if those are Mrs Dennis' clothes? She would've been young when she wore them, but I suppose it's possible.

Julianne's Colorful Townhouse in Dublin
House Call
Name: Julianne Kelly
Location: Donnybrook - Dublin, Ireland
I am an interior designer who recently has taken over my family business. I live in a townhouse near the city center of Dublin, Ireland. My previous house was all varying shades of creams and now I never want to see that color again! For this house I went for lots of grey with strong vibrant punches of fuschia, chartreuse and purple.
I am a big fan of wallpaper as I feel it brings a lot of warmth, depth and texture to a room. I used lots of fabrics and wallpapers from my favorite design houses including Jim Thompson, Manuel Canovas, JAB, Andrew Martin, Designer Guild and Elitis. Oh, and not to forget Missoni.
As my house is small, I wanted each room to flow into the next - for example, the wallpaper in the hall is by Elitis and has a reptile type pattern. This same pattern is how the bathroom suite is finished, albeit in white ceramic. For paintwork I used Zoffany paints and carpets are by Lano.
Thanks, Julianne!

I love this. It's perfect.
Love the wallpapers, and the textures throughout. Also, that backs plash in your kitchen, glass I think, is to die for. You can decorate my place any day. :)
I couldn't live with those rabid pinks, but I appreciate the verve :)
Now I want a purple kitchen.
That striped couch is crazy awesome!! Love all the pops of color. Very well done!
The kitchen is super gorgeous!! Love everything in your house
To her credit: the bold colors have texture. However, this all looks very matchy matchy and decoratory to me. But I love the term "rabid pinks."
Wow, love your design. I just bought a condo and have been wondering about window treatments, please please let me know where I can find similar window treatments as yours here in the US?
Amaaazing. Loving the colors, textures, prints. Beautiful!
Now you know you have to a full house tour of this candy coated dream!
That backsplash is boss.
Love it!
Love the colors. I'm trying to pull together a color scheme in my apartment with pink and yellow and its really tough!
Rabid Pinks sounds like a great band. I love your funky couch and sense of style.
I got for calm and minimal (bland cream) at home, but only because I need it to be my escape from everything else. I do love your colours.
I like the Fornesetti wallpaper and the couch. Everything is nice but I especially like those two things. Great job! You earned a gold star
Very well done. Took a lot of nerve, but the verve paid off!
I do love your exciting house, the purples and yellows are balanced beautifully with white. I have a small suggestion, I would also paint the fireplace surround white, the yellow/beige brick stands out and I think bringing the white from the wall unit across the room would work for you..
Julianne, I adore your house, and my favourites are your sofa. Backsplash colour, and they yellow. It all comes together, and the colours are not rabid, Rabid means extreme , and this is anything but. I would not paint the brick fireplace, sacrilege. The only thing that would I think have improved it is a better photo of the living part with fireplace, the photo lacks dept of field, so everything appears compressed. But I know its not like this.
Wish you would help me with my tiny apartment.
Well done and I do not think its at all decoratish or matchy matchy, the photos and stuff add a really warm touch.
As an American living in Dublin can I just say kudos to you for abandoning the cream? I swear it's in every apartment on Daft!
But really, lovely home! You have excellent taste!
I love your back splash! I'm looking for something similar but maybe in an aubergine. I live in Limerick. Where did you get yours?
I want to see this reptile pattern! Such a tease to describe it and not show it...
Thanks for the comments everyone...loving the rabid pink comment - had to google image it but get the idea. Apartment Therapy have asked for a full tour so I'll send on photos of upstairs and I've also just finished the garden.
Moss and Stone, totally agree. Can't stand the amount of houses here that have cream walls, wooden floors and leather sofas. With these rubbish weather we need some colour to cheer us up. If you're ever passing my showroom Kevin Kelly Interiors in Donnybrook pop in and say hi
Glad to see that a full tour is in the works -- I like almost everything here, especially the wallpaper. But I would kill for that vast shelf-space, chuck out the myriad picture frames, and fill every inch with books.
julianne you sure have an amazing talent to combine these unusual colors, even if they stood alone. a combination of the two is extremely hard to pull off but you nailed it! I agree that the fireplace in creamy tones does stand out and that it would look better painted white. other than that, kudos!
Love it! What brand of cabinets are in your kitchen?
Hi Rkpteden,
They're from http://www.pronorm.de/
Hope this helps
i couldn't live with this (I'm one of those dreaded 'beige' and 'earth tone' people), but I'm glad that places like this are out there. It's very well done and I appreciate variety in life!
Love this bright and cheerful apartment! I never would have put these colors together but they work so well!
Hi Julianne,
Beautiful job! Just wondering if you could let me know where you got your dining table?
Thanks for any help!

The last three weeks have been strange for October. It has been cold. We have had snowstorms about once a week that have kept it cold. Even when the storms have moved on and we have had blue skies and sunshine, the snow on the ground and he wind off the mountains have kept it cold — not at all the warm dry October weather that I consider normal.
I am sorry to say that I made an error in my article of two weeks ago. In the article of Oct. 7, I wrote that grizzly bears "had been all but eliminated in the contiguous 48 states." This is not true, and I apologize. I checked this information in the book "Bears of the World" by Lance Craighead, and assumed it to be up to date, for he is an authority on bears and it is a fairly recent publication. However, I had two phone calls this week telling me that the brown or grizzly bears are indeed still found in the lower 48 states.
A reader of this column recently phoned to ask me if there were any turtles in Evergreen Lake.
Yes, indeed, I have seen turtles in Evergreen Lake. However, turtles are far more common in the rivers and ponds on the plains, mostly below 5,500 feet.
Snow and below-freezing temperatures tell us that winter is here, even though it's still supposed to be fall. Shortening days are growing still shorter and will for three more months until the winter solstice is reached and the pendulum swings the other way and they begin to slowly grow longer. My husband, Bill, used to feel the same way, and we used to celebrate Dec. 22 as if it were the first day of spring and then celebrate again in March when it really was the first day of spring and the days began to get longer than the nights.
The first two days of fall brought quite a few migrating birds to Evergreen Lake. A cold front moving down out of Canada brought cold rain followed by the first snow. I am not ready for snow yet and hope we may still have some Indian summer weather.
The first day of autumn has arrived and with it came our first really cold day, which made it really feel like autumn. I'm not happy to see the cold weather come, but at least it gives me a good excuse to have a fire in the fireplace in the evening. The aspen have reached their peak in the high country; they were beautiful at Echo Lake this week, but those in our valley are still green.
There is definitely a hint of autumn in the air and in other places, too. Yes, the cool dawn air is sweet, clean and sharp from our cold nights.
The rising sun is welcome and warming, but afternoon showers soon cool things off again. There are signs of fall, also.The first aspen tree in the valley below our house has turned golden and is now beginning to lose its leaves. The grasses are ripening their seed heads, so our hillside is now a warm tawny tan, with splotches of green from weeds and bits of red from wood beauty cinquefoil and wild roses.
After a hard rain during the night, the morning of Aug. 30 was damp, misty, humid, partly cloudy, partly sunny, foggy, hazy and warm, with a slight breeze that would sway the tall grasses and flowers occasionally just enough to send a raindrop rolling off.
There was a definite feeling of autumn in the air that Sunday morning and an unusual number of birds in the yard and at the feeders. I was only getting quick flashes of them from the window, so I finally went out on the carport where I could see over a larger area and follow them from place to place.
Every year in late August, I receive phone calls from readers who want to know about a large brown baby bird that is being fed by a much smaller parent. This is usually a chipping sparrow or a gray-headed junco locally, but it may be almost any smaller bird. Brown-headed cowbirds arrive in the spring about March 1 and are the only bird in America that does not build its own nest. They come to feeders regularly because they prefer millet to all other grain. They watch the other birds to see where they are building nests, and when the rightful owner of the nest is away, they deposit an egg.
On Friday evening, Aug.14, the Weed Awareness Committee met for its last summer weed pulling at Evergreen Lake.
