3.8/5 rDev -9.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
12oz bottle poured into CCB snifter. No visible freshness date, but picked up at liquor store yesterday.
A- Pours a dark translucent golden brown with a very thin bubbly head that recedes to leave almost no head at all. Light carbonation.
S- Sweet citrusy and piney hops, not as aromatic as a lot of the top-notch DIPAs I've had, but smells good.
T- Piney hops dominate a little bit more then citrus hops, light grapefruit, a pinch of lemon, a little bit more malty then a lot of DIPAs. Slightly bitter. Lightly sweet malty aftertaste.
M- Medium bodied, light carbonation, abv very well hidden, goes down easy.
O- This was a good DIPA, but it definitely doesn't compare to some top-notch DIPAs out there. I had Hopslam before this and I definitely preferred that over this. I'm not sure how fresh this was since it doesn't have a freshness date. I believe this DIPA might have lost a little bit of its hops flavor due to it being shipped from CA to MA and being on the shelf for a little over a week. Not bad, but definitely not as hoppy and sweet as I prefer my DIPAs.

TAMPA, Fla. — Is Iowa football ready for prime-time at noon?
Within Iowa and across the Big Ten, the Hawkeyes have garnered and earned plenty of respect for their bounce-back season. Going from 4-8 to 8-4 with almost no one outside the program expecting such a reversal is a successful season, case closed.
But forgive the rest of the football-following nation if it isn't wowed or even interested. Against the three best teams on its schedule — Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin — Iowa was 0-3 and didn't make much of a peep in the second halves of any of those losses.
The season-opening loss to Northern Illinois is what's keeping today's Outback Bowl clash with LSU from being a battle of two ranked teams.
As for Iowa's eight wins that feel so good in-state, they don't have one that jumped out and grabbed America. Minnesota pretty much remained Minnesota in its Texas Bowl loss to Syracuse. Michigan wheezed to a 7-6 finish after an embarrassing Buffalo Wild Wings defeat to Kansas State.
Nebraska plays in today's Gator Bowl with a one-word description of its 2013 season: Kooky.
But today the Hawkeyes can vault forward, back into the Top 25 for the first time since November 2010 with a win over a brand-name program that isn't down on its luck. That's LSU, which is merely 43-9 since the start of the 2010 season. It's the team that beat national-championship contestant Auburn by two touchdowns.
Now, if LSU (9-3) weren't mortal, it wouldn't be playing in the Outback Bowl. And yes, it's rolling the dice today with a freshman quarterback named Anthony Jennings who has never before started a collegiate game, let alone a New Year's bowl against an extremely sturdy defense.
But it's still LSU, still a team packed with future NFLers, still a team with mad skills at the skill positions. Though South Carolina and Wisconsin are in the higher-slotted Capital One Bowl, none of the five other programs in today's three Big Ten-SEC matchups are better-regarded than LSU.
Which is good for the Hawkeyes. If they play like they did in their regular-season finale at Nebraska, they could be the talk of the day in college football. Until the Rose Bowl starts, anyway.
There would be no qualifiers attached to a win over LSU. It would be considered a big triumph, one that leaves Hawkeyes fans craving more football from this afternoon all the way to the Aug. 30 season-opener against Northern Iowa and beyond.
Last summer, you heard "I can't wait for basketball season" from a lot of Iowa fans. The larger part of that was because of high expectations for the cagers. But part of it was muted feelings about the footballers. If the Hawkeyes clip the Tigers today, it'll be a lot of "I can't wait for football season" from this afternoon forward.
That will be true even without a triumph today, but there's nothing like winning a bowl that people have actually heard of against an opponent that needs no introduction to fan the offseason flames of excitement.
If Iowa has grown in roughly the same ratio from the end of November to the start of January that it did from the end of October to the end of November, it can win this game and do so looking like a team that fully belongs in the final national rankings.
That was the case five years ago today, Iowa's last appearance in this game. The Hawkeyes followed up on their strong November showing by playing their best all-around game of the season in routing South Carolina.
This LSU team is better than those Gamecocks. That matters.
Even including their season-opening loss to Northern Illinois, it has felt all season like the Hawkeyes were back in the football business. Today could be the Notary stamp on that belief.

Wild's Heatley out Indefinitely
From StarTribune.com
Veteran Dany Heatley will be sidelined an undermined amount of time with what's believed to be a wrist injury. The Wild says there is no exact timetable yet, but coach Mike Yeo said Thursday the Wild's third-leading goal scorer will miss at least the next couple games and General Manager Chuck Fletcher said at least the next couple weeks. At the very least, he is expected to return to the Twin Cities on Friday.

Beefalo are the fertile offspring of domestic cattle and American bison.

They are also thought to produce less damage to rangeland than cattle. Interesting nonetheless.

A nice challenge
This is a good one, at least is not as easy as it looks to begin with.
It actually is the only one I have managed to finish with some luck, perhaps!
So I would say that it is an intelligent game, and it is useful because I personally forget my watch and I am told off too by my wife being accused to be a selfish git! So you are warned: don,t forget to prepare the table, dinner can wait!
I thought it was very good quite entertaining and it keeps me busy while idle from other things. It also releases me I get constipated a lot but this eases my stress
I love it!!
I always make sure I complete a game before moving onto a new one. It is very good and mind absorbing. I would totally recommend it to anyone, just love it!!

It seems like objects have all the fun these days. High-tech toilets. Smart thermostats. Fitness devices. We divulge more information to these devices than we tell our therapists. We share our weight, our flush preferences and when we will be getting home tonight with these objects because we know sharing that info is quick, private and will result in something we actually care about – a skinny, clean, warm derriere.
Meanwhile, back in the data center, the evolution of ecommerce personalization is stuck back in the chamber pot era. Most online retailers struggle to know their customers beyond past purchase information and current browsing behavior. And that lack of knowledge results in rather anemic attempts at targeted merchandise and promotions. Most personalization today is little more than a glorified cross sell.
The main reason? Unlike the transparent, explicit information gathering efforts of high-tech devices, ecommerce sites have traditionally tried to "take a best guess" on what customers want by stitching together implicit data behind the scenes (profile, purchase, location, and social graph).
Why sneak around guessing when the easiest way to know what someone wants or needs is to ask them? I am not arguing for long questionnaires. Asking quick, simple questions over time will build an explicit profile that can be transparently used for personalization. The beauty is the data is easy and true. The process is out in the open. And the results are relevant.
The Toto Neorest teaches us three key rules about personalization:
1) No Surprises, Please
You know what the Toto is going to do before you use it – otherwise it would be highly disturbing and creepy. Be transparent about your intentions, call out the benefits and get permission.
2) Ask & You Shall Receive
Toto's Neorest does not guess what I want based on what my 317 Facebook friends want. It asks outright. Why personalize without the exponential benefit of user input? Quick question are fine. Build personalization profiles over time.
3) Do Something Meaningful With What I Tell You
I'll tell you anything if it will keep my bum warm on a cold winter night. What are you offering in exchange for information? Is it truly relevant and needed? Will it make my life easier? Make sure your customers want the kind of personalization you are offering.
Several industry experts have predicted that 2014 will be the "Year of Personalization." I hope it will be the "Year of Meaningful Personalization." And the year everybody leaves the seat down whether they have a Toto or not.
My friends made fun of me and said I'd be back in a week. And shocker: I was, because I really wanted to find out who the true love of my life was and I needed to share all that aforementioned data with MTV Asia to do so. Also, I didn't realize that like a million apps require me to use my Facebook info. Plus, I wasn't able to plan or get invited to any events (the one area Facebook has pinned down). And then there was Tinder.
I accepted the sad reality that I needed Facebook.
But during that highly productive week I was off the 'Book, I started tearing it up on other channels to get my social fix. So since reactivating I've actually been using it less than ever before, because I realized I could get the interaction I crave from Facebook with the privacy it doesn't provide.
Most of us (I'm looking at you, Mom) have figured out that there are few things in life that should be broadcasted to 700 people, much less shared with MTV Asia. Facebook is a very public forum, and it makes for all kinds of messiness when its not used judiciously. But social media wasn't intended to be tight-lipped. So we've found other avenues to turn to when we just have to shout into the Internet that something has happened to us.
So next time you just have to shout to the Internet, take a second to decide if it's something you want to broadcast to your mom, ex-boyfriend, boss, and whoever else you felt too awkward to unfriend. And if it isn't, no need to keep mum- just consult this handy guide.
For all of your pictures unless you're like, really really sure it will be popular on Facebook
I post my best material on Facebook- usually a funny-ish picture with a caption that really brings those likes in. But for your typical Golden Gate bridge sunset pic or Girls Night Out collage I'm going to go with Instagram because it's totally ok there to gloat about the superior lifestyle, scenery, and weather of my city of residence.
For drawing mustaches on your selfies and funny/stupid stuff you see
I have this thing I have to do at least once a day where I take pictures from bad angles of my double chin and write stupid captions. That goes to my Snapchat inner circle and they know that 90% of my Snapchats will be really lame. Sometimes I actually capture things that are a bit more creative or off-the-wall, like a crazy person peeing on a wall, and that I will put out to the larger Snapchat circle, because I really want to brighten their day with unusual content. Snapchat has a feature that lets you share a snap with all your friends for 24 hours, and if something REALLY awesome happens, I'll do that.
For when your friend who works at Google is forcing you to use it because s/he has to
My best friend works at Google and when we both deactivated our Facebooks, we would occasionally post pictures to each other on G+ to keep our sanity.
This is the only use case. I don't know anyone else on Google+.
For when you fall into the unfortunate role of social media manager at your company
I think of Twitter as primarily for promotional and actually professional purposes. It's good for professional development & thought leadership, but in my experience it's less for connecting friends than it is for reading news or following a topic.
Apple Photo Stream
For pictures you want to share with your friends, kind of like you used to do on Facebook before you wised up
Since no one posts albums anymore, sharing photos is one less thing I rely on Facebook for. I have streams set up for different people that lets us share, comment, and like photos privately. It's so easy to drop pictures right away, so we don't have to hound each other for pictures.
Then there's some things that we instinctively know do not belong on any social network. But wait! Now there's a way to share those too, thanks to a host of new social sharing apps that are totally anonymous.
For when you see a successful startup CEO acting like a d-bag
Secret is gaining traction among a select set as a source of gossip about the Silicon valley startup scene. It allows users to post anonymous broadcasts sent to their contacts who are also using the app. If a secret is highly liked, it can be shared with a larger audience.
Personally, I am kind of used to seeing successful startup CEOs act like d-bags, so I don't bother with it.
For when you're in a room with tech-savvy friends who actually use this app and you fart, but you're a good guy and want to own up to it, but it smelled really bad so you don't want them to know it was you
WUT sends anonymous broadcasts to friends who are on the app, with a Snapchat-like twist of disappearing. I haven't farted in a room with my friends in a while so I haven't been using it.
For when you want reassurance that you're not the craziest person in a 15 mile radius
Whisper shares anonymous posts from users in your vicinity. Think of it as a blend of PostSecret and Craigslist- full of weirdos. So far, I haven't had the urge to share anything on this platform, but it's an interesting read if I want to start feeling creeped out about people in my neighborhood.
I realize it's completely ridiculous to be on as many social networks as I am. I frequently have conversations with my friends that begin via text, transition to Snapcat, cruise over to Gchat, and end via Instagram post. But my generation is piloting the next big social media thing. Or things- it might be that we just need to split our digital footprint lest our most personal aspects of our lives be owned by the same behemoth. We're aware of how powerful Facebook is, and that awareness makes us much less comfortable using it as it was originally intended.
]]>For those of you unfamiliar with RWD and what it means, Responsive is simply a design approach that allows a single web site to adjust to the size of the screen the customers is viewing—be it a smartphone, tablet or enormous desktop—all from one code base and one set of web content.
"Simply" is probably the wrong word to use here, as the process of going responsive for e-commerce involves far more than adapting a code base and selecting breakpoints. In fact, many of our clients at Fluid have engaged us to ascertain how ready their organizations are for handling Responsive Web Design before they take the plunge. During these conversations, we've repeatedly validated that no organization is ready for Responsive Design until:
1) You've got your content house in order. The beauty of RWD is that an organization need maintain only a single code base and a single set of content assets.
Easier said than done. Most retailers create content in multiple formats, usually for exclusive use on a single platform like catalog versus website. For ecommerce to succeed in a Responsive environment, the content needs to be formatted, warehoused and handled appropriately to work in multiple resolutions. Before you start even thinking about liquid grids, lift the hood on your content and asset management systems to make sure they can handle the demands of RWD. Otherwise your big move will be fraught with roadblocks and unforeseen expenses.
2) You're ready to toss out the wireframes. When working in RWD, wireframes—which are a necessary element to any successful customer journey and static visual design—become a liability. If you're working with multiple breakpoints (the ideal layout for a specific device like an iPad), then you'll be wireframing yourself into oblivion.
Time to ditch this static approach and start working with rapid prototyping tools. There are a slew out there: from fast grid layouts like Reflow, to component design like flavors of Bootstrap, or off-the-shelf Axzure. These tools help show how your content will scale so your information architects, UX team and visual designers can work hand-in-hand to determine optimal layouts. Besides, prototypes are great tools for educating your stakeholders on how a site operates responsively. Seeing is believing.
3) You're ready to break down the silos and work flexibly, collaboratively and fast. The very nature of RWD means that it can't be tackled by a waterfall development process where each team completes their part before the other begins. Instead, your visual designers need to collaborate from the beginning with information architects, the UX team, and ideally someone from content, marketing, merchandising… You get the picture.
There's no changing the fact that our world is increasingly filled with multiple devices and that customers jump between them at will to research, price compare and purchase products. If your organization is going to succeed in this environment then your entire ecommerce team needs to work flexibly and fast. Not only will it set you up for success with RWD, you'll become an agile organization that can tackle the next design or technology innovation, whatever it might be.
]]>We saw four key trends:
1. Mobile and tablet are a serious source of revenue. Without a doubt, mobile and tablet have grown in share of total revenue and visits across our client portfolio. For many clients, mobile and tablet revenue accounted for 15-20% of revenue in holiday 2013. Some clients saw 2x or 3x growth in revenue contribution from mobile and tablet this year vs. 2012 holiday. Between the two device categories, mobile tends to drive the most visits, and tablets drive much higher conversion rate – in some cases comparable to the conversion rate on desktop.
a) mobile showrooming (browsing and gathering information without the intent to buy)
b) inefficient mobile experiences
c) lower quality traffic on mobile.
Regardless of the factor, the growth of mobile emphasizes the importance of developing the best possible non-desktop experience for customers – it's part of the bottom line.
2. Holiday shopping is changing. This year a number of clients tried new promotional strategies since the calendar drove all major sales holidays into the month of December, leaving little to be gained in November. Some clients created promotions in early November, which helped to offset the imbalance between November and December sales. Others managed to sustain sales momentum in 2013 creating a revenue "hill" between Cyber Monday and Christmas Day and even a few spikes just before Christmas.
For many retailers, this momentum was not present in 2012, when sales dipped dramatically after Cyber Monday. This could be a sign of several trends:
a) people are shopping throughout the holiday period and are less restricted to traditional shopping holidays
b) with improved shipping options by major retailers, shoppers can wait longer to make a purchase
c) because shopping holidays fell so late this year, there was more last-minute shopping
d) retailers are doing a better job of stretching out promotions.
Moving into 2014, retailers will be forced to think about new ways to drive sales outside of traditional shopping holidays.
3. Green Monday is "a thing". Green Monday, as in green for $$ not for trees, fell on the second Monday of December and generated major sales spikes for several retailers as they embraced yet another deep discounting holiday. Where revenue was flat in 2012, this year many saw a sharp increase around 12/9. For those who didn't offer promotions around Green Monday, they may have missed out on an opportunity to further clear out 2013 inventory and boost sales.
4. Promotional strategy is crucial. As is obvious from the previous trends, the holiday period is driven by promotions for many retailers. And consumers have come to expect it. From an analytics perspective, promotion strategy is a strategic process of historical analysis, product trends, and predictions. In the best cases, the goal of promotion is to drive the highest demand while maintaining a healthy profit margin. As often happens, however, retailers drive themselves into a ditch of discounting that they can't climb out of. There was no broad trend observed around holiday promotions in 2013: deeper discounting didn't always lead to more revenue and less discounting didn't always lead to more revenue. Instead, promotional strategy is entirely specific to a retailer's brand, merchandising strategy, and customer base. As the holiday period becomes increasingly focused on extended deals, perfecting this strategy will be a key success factor during peak shopping season.
Time to start thinking about 2014:
Through monitoring the industry across our client base, data analytics informs us as experts in digital shopping. Fluid has not only used these trends to inform our work, but we have partnered with clients to identify key insights for the holiday period and their particular business. There's no better way to form strategy and make decisions than with data and numbers, and at Fluid that's where we begin.
]]>Seriously meet her. In this video, right here.
Kate is the qualitative to our Fluid Shopper Science quantitative. Fluid did a survey of 3000+ digital shoppers and then honed in on moms. There were a few stand-outs in the data. The three things you need to know now about moms + digital shopping….
1. Why moms buy online: Convenience, more choice, less chaos + cheaper.
These lead the reasons why moms purchase online vs. in-store. This "Select all that apply" question reveals the busy everyday lives of moms. Convenience is queen – with 61% answering they shop online because "It's more convenient to get items shipped to my home."
The full set of answers:
Implication for retailers: Streamline shopping paths to maximize the limited time moms have to make purchases. Moms don't want to sit down, have coffee with you and chat. They want to make a purchase and get on with their day.
2. Top purchase triggers: Out grown, new season + wearing out the old.
When asked "Please rank the top 3 reasons for shopping for children's stuff (non-essential items)" the top three were:
#1 27% "My children grew out of their old things"
#2 22% "It was the beginning of the season/back to school"
#3 15% "My children wore out their old things"
Of note: The answer chosen most was "My children needed something for a specific activity."
The details of the responses can be seen here:
Implication for retailers: Past purchases hint at future purchases – especially when it comes to kids. Personalization and intelligent recommendations give you an advantage.
3. Kids + purchases: Yes kids influence purchase decisions.
75% of moms involve their children in the process of deciding what to buy. While ~30% decide together, the other ~44% put parameters around the choices they ask kids to make.
The chart details:
Implication for retailers: Curate collections of items to make decisions easier. Even better, suggest items based on triggers and information at hand – "back-to-school clothes for an 8-year-old boy" takes work out of the process for mom.
Given their purchasing power and influence we'll hear more from, and about, moms this year. Stay tuned…
Go moms go,
[Shopper Science]
I am obviously not alone.
The only time Amazon doesn't get my business is when two days is too long to wait. Then it's Google Shopping Express. Frankly though, my diapers from Target and tooth paste from Walgreens (with no delivery or other charge) is likely hurting Google's bottom line more than it's helping it. Hello Amazon Fresh, why yes I'll try your free trial too.
The coverage of Jeff Bezos's statement that Amazon would be using drones for delivery was telling. It spread like wildfire, dominating the Black Friday weekend, which shows that:
1. People believe Amazon is capable of doing almost anything (If the CEO of JC Penney had talked about drones the story would have been about him being crazy).
2. Retailers are scared of Amazon and being scared means Amazon's every move captures attention. Our main affiliation with drones is war. Defense tactics are in effect.
Fluid has been thinking a lot about Amazon. From Amazon's best-in-class features to their bootstrapping of ecommerce success to tactics that position retailers selling against Amazon to excel. Amazon will absolutely influence the way digital shopping happens in 2014. So will we.
At the outset of 2014, our Amazon conversation starts with The Proof and The Truth.
Amazon – The Proof:
In Q4 2013, Fluid surveyed 3000+ digital shoppers. (We're taking Shopper Science seriously). We asked them to think about the last item they bought online. Where did they buy it?
1/3 of digital shopper's last online purchase was at Amazon.
Even more interesting is the variance by category. Only 11% of those who last bought apparel/shoes bought at Amazon, 20% for jewelry/accessories, 25% for sport/outdoor. In other words, Amazon hasn't conquered all categories.
You can see the data detail in this infographic (Amazon stats are at the bottom).
Amazon – The Truth:
Amazon has drones and dominance. Is this digital Darwinism where only those who can compete on price survive? What are retailers to do? Andrew Sirotnik, Chief Experience Officer and Co-Founder of Fluid, tells it like he sees it in Forbes. Smart opinions. Concrete strategies. And hope in the form of exploiting what Amazon can never do.
So the dialog continues. So do the strategies, tactics and innovations on behalf of our clients. I'm always a fan of racing our own race vs. getting distracted by competitors we can't control, but I like the way Amazon is raising bar. It's making us all better.
Onward 2014,
[Shopper Science]
Despite recent advancements, e-commerce lacks the soul of that quintessential in-store shopping experience. It doesn't have the same energy you find when you meet a knowledgeable sales associate who builds rapport and draws insights about your needs and preferences based on your conversation. In-store sales associates are able to show you exactly what you need and explain why – even if you don't know the right questions to ask or exactly what you want when you walk in the store.
By contrast, the current state of online shopping relies on a combination of searches bound by standardized navigation, optimized keywords and limited data sources – all of which are devoid of the energy and emotion that are part of the DNA of in-store shopping.
As consumers, we fall prey to the linear paths to purchase laid out for us online where we game the system as expert "keyword jockeys" hoping we find the products we want without being able to ask the same questions we'd ask a store associate.
Fluid wants to change that. We teamed up with IBM® Watson® to build an expert personal shopping application. IBM's announcement of the Watson Ecosystem, where Fluid is one of three inaugural partners, is the perfect place for Fluid to do what we do best: re-envision how consumers shop in the digital age, while leveraging what IBM does best: big data analytics and cognitive computing.
Why Watson?
Watson can consume tons of content, which means Fluid can pull sources like product catalogs, training materials, expert advice, user reviews and ratings from various sources, to name a few. Watson also quickly learns from each interaction and question asked so shopping experiences become more personalized and relevant. Shoppers will be able to ask the same question online that they would ask an in-store associate and the unique combination of Fluid and Watson will serve up that rich, relevant content so people can make smart, satisfying purchases.
Imagine the process of buying technical gear, like a tent, online today. You might start your search at your favorite retailer's site, or like many, end up at a marketplace like Amazon. You would narrow your preferences like size, style and other pre-determined of features using filters. You might also be interested in reviews, lowest price and aggregated ratings. But these filters and preferences cannot be found all in one place or site today. At this point shoppers are probably toggling between multiple tabs, trying to sift through important information or compare features on more than one site. Wouldn't it be easier to simply explain what you're looking for by typing in the search engine: "I am taking my family camping in upstate NY in October and I need a tent, what should I consider?" Fluid's application inspires consumers to ask this same question online and not only find the ideal tent but also unexpected items recommended for a successful family camping trip.
By empowering consumers to shop as they choose, Fluid aims to help retailers foster a more consumer led, non-linear, ubiquitous shopping experience that turns shoppers into buyers.
In other words, we add soul to the online shopping experience.
]]>So we didn't exactly do a PR blitz when we launched our new site. But there are 5 very timely aspects about our site that are most definitely fit to print:
1. Responsive Design
This month, Fluid is completing our 10th RWD project. It killed us that our own site wasn't responsive as we discussed the merits of RWD with clients. Now we are walking the walk – on desktop, mobile and tablet.
2. Social Integration
We have been a long time advocate of integrating social content to make a site experience current and alive. For retailers, this means including customer generated content. For us, this means including our social updates across Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.
3. Shopper Science In The House
We understand what makes shoppers tick. We interview them. Observe them. Study how they move online. And now we are sharing our findings and insights on the site.
4. Immersive Design and Messaging
Gorgeous imagery. A powerful voice throughout. Our site is proof that substance can be sexy. And while we don't have commerce, we do pair content and action throughout the experience. It's all about calls to action at the right time and place.
5, The error 404 page.
You can never lose with a picture of a dog.
]]>If we had beakers they'd be Waterford scored on ebay, our Bunsen burners would be recommended in expert reviews and our periodic table would be full of products trending in social experiences.
Fluid geeks out on the who, what, why, when and where of digital shopping. Yes we do. And the how too. Today's lesson plan: Five experiments you should be conducting on your customers. Why? We've seen them work. And we're curious how they'll work for you.
Our joint Shopper Science experiment starts here…
1. Selective promotion. Retailers this 2013 holiday season have been bold with the discounts. So bold. Bold in a way that could undermine the value and success of full price. (I'm predicting a holiday price hangover.) Our theory: Not everyone needs a huge discount in order to buy. So why give everyone say 40% off? It's giving away money to people who would have paid more.
The experiment: Test your discount thresholds. CRM marketing is a great tool for this. As is a testing, targeting and optimizing tool like Monetate. And please don't offer a huge discount off of absolutely everything – unless you have the business case for it. If you do, please share it with us.
2. Dropped cart re-targeting. At Fluid we're seeing the cart serve as the new Wish List – customers are storing products they like in cart in order to make their decisions later. This said, an item in a cart is one step closer to sale. At the very least, it reflects an elevated interest. We think you should use this to your advantage.
The experiment: Re-target based on dropped cart items. This can be done through ad re-targeting or dynamically prioritizing images on a return digital visit. Some retailers are using an intercept upon entry. Yes it can feel overt. But if a consumer is in that critical decision window it could be the reminder that makes the difference.
3. Product video. Video is converting to sale at higher rates than non-video for a lot of our clients. Now the people watching videos are likely to be more invested in buying at the outset. But we think the numbers are strong enough to continue testing. This ranges from video for products in action to shoppable brand videos to video for your ad buys.
The experiment: Start small with some product videos in the pdp. Or a header video. Run it against a control of the existing design. This should be simple to implement but CRM email always serves as a great testing ground as well to make the case for site tests.
4. Product badging. Calling attention to products with visual overlays makes a positive difference. With the right balance of badges, it just does. The icons serve as beacons of best sellers and great gifts in product selections that can be overwhelming. Expert picks pick up higher conversion. Our challenge to retailers? Make the badges unique to your business. "As seen on Everest" could work for The North Face. "As seen on Jennifer Garner" works for Stella & Dot. Make it clear why a consumer should take note (and buy).
The experiment: Start with simple product information badges. Use your onsite search or popular navigation items to give you a head start. The badges that perform best give you insight into the mindsets of your customers – and hint at the degree to which they are influenced by others in the purchase process.
5. In-store observations. This is essential and easy. Make sure you and your team get up from your desks and get into your stores. Seriously. Listen, observe, ask. The sales associates on the front lines are a wealth of information (for apparel feedback find the associates in the dressing rooms). Observing consumers always holds surprises. See if what you're decided in corporate is playing out for the consumer in-store.
The experiment: Put time in the calendar to visit your local store. Even better if you assign tasks based on popular customer paths. If you're not near a local store take your tasks and end goals to digital and buy on your own site. (When was the last time you bought on your own site?) Buy on mobile and tablet and desktop. Remember what you witness is a qualitative snapshot (it's not representative) – and see what ideas arise.
Here our initial foray into experimentation with you concludes. It's a bit addictive yes? We're excited to continue to discover together.
1. Venmo
Venmo is a friend-to-friend payment app, an absolute godsend for a city dweller who is regularly splitting rent, cab fare, and dinner bills with friends. My friends and I rarely carry cash, and when I do, I'm always guarding it carefully for cash-only bars in the Mission. Or when someone does have enough cash to pay me back, I end up with $28 worth of $1 bills and an evening's worth of stripper jokes. And I have no idea what a check is or where I might find a pen in my home to use one. So an app that enables people to instantaneously pay money owed is great for both parties.
Venmo syncs with your Facebook so your Facebook friends on Venmo are automatically contacts you can pay, or you can find users via phone number or email. A feed surfaces the Venmo interactions between your friends (not the amount, just the reason) which adds a level of hilarity.
Venmo created this word cloud to highlight the numerous use cases where Venmo comes in handy- however, I think there was a high level of curation involved here, as my feed seems to be dominated by friends' payments for services such as "hot sex," "Lovin," and "Farts."
Since its acquisition by Braintree, the app has rolled out Venmo Touch, a one touch payment system that works across a number of apps that work with Braintree. This means instead of re-entering credit card info on Living Social, Task Rabbit, or Hotel Tonight, I can simply use my Venmo information to pay.
There's a couple things to take away from Venmo: 1. Getting social, when it serves a purpose, is something users are very willing to do. We're happy to share inane details of our lives so long as it stays off our Facebook wall. 2. It enables short, quick transactions between friends- can these same exchanges be built into our shopping experiences with retailers?
2. Lulu
Lulu is an app that lets girls rate & review male Facebook friends they've dated. The execution of the app makes it less risqué than it sounds: guys are evaluated based on a series of questions on different parameters (ambition, manners, appearance, etc) which contributes to an overall score. Then users can select hashtags that paint a picture of the positive (#BedroomEyes #SmellsAmazeballs #RespectsWomen) and negative qualities (#ShouldComeWithAWarning #MommasBoy) the guy possesses.
Lulu's meteoric rise has caught some attention recently and plenty of criticism; a Brazilian man has decided to take the makers of the app to court. For its part I've found it to be fairly accurate if not hilarious. I even went so far as to change my gender on Facebook to see if I could be reviewed by my friends. Sadly, Lulu now thinks I'm a guy and I can't use the app anymore. How will I know who #AlwaysPays and who will #HititAndQuitIt now?
It's an app that absolutely necessitates sharing your Facebook login- and staying friends with your exes. And like Venmo, it's leveraging the fact that Facebook friend circles have exploded- while we don't really want to share with them on Facebook, it's helpful to be able to tap into those networks on other apps.
3. QuizUp
It's been a while since we deleted WordsWithFriends to free up some space on our phones for latest and greatest. QuizUp takes the same concept of challenging your friends but with the flexibility of creating just about any kind of challenge. Being the intellectual that I am my fortes are "Snacks," "Shopping" (working at Fluid, I KILL at this one), "Name the Animal," and, this week, "Elton John." Like Venmo and Lulu, Facebook sign-in enhances the experience on this app. Similarly, all Facebook-related activity stays on the app instead of blasting your Facebook feed.
My usage has definitely decreased since I first discovered QuizUp at the Thanksgiving dinner table, but perhaps the variety of topics will keep the novelty from wearing off for other users.
Time will tell whether these are still my top three in a couple of months- but something tells me Venmo at least is here to stay.

Three-wheelers all have one thing in common - the second front wheel makes them a lot more stable than bicycles or motorbikes. But it doesn´t take long to see the disadvantage: the risk of tipping over means that conventional three-wheelers can only take bends at very moderate speeds. Climb onto a machine that is 100% engineered ! To give a comfortable ride, all wheels have sprung suspension. Both front wheels use a double wishbone axle wich provides, at the same time, for parallel inclination of frame and wheels. TRIPENDO looks something out of Formula 1 stable. The driven rear wheel is connected to the frame through a swinging fork.

Without any prior migration experience, juvenile Chinook salmon can find their way to ancestral feeding grounds by using the Earth's magnetic field and an inherited internal map, according to a new study.

Ask-A-Linguist Message Details
Subject: | gravelly vocalizations |
Question: |
Sue and I are in our late 70's and suddenly realize that almost all NPR's female announcers speak with a gravelly tone. How and when and why did this transition occur? Thank you! Richard Gross |
Reply: |
I believe you are referring to what is variously called "vocal fry", "creaky voice" or "glottalisation". It seems to be a recent trend/fashion among (young) females and, to my knowledge, it has been reported/studied mostly among English-speakers, whether in Britain, the US or Australia. These reports have more on this topic. From the UK: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2073800/Vocal-fry-The-new-craze-talking-inspired-Britney-Spears-Ke-ha.html From the US: http://news.sciencemag.org/social-sciences/2011/12/vocal-fry-creeping-u.s.-speech From Australia: http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/women-using-8216vocal-fry8217-to-sound-more-authoritative-sexy/story-fneuz9ev-1226716000951 Madalena |

There will be plenty for families to do at this year's Kidtoberfest.
On Oct. 12, Mahaska County ISU Extension will host Kidtoberfest at Penn Central Mall from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Natalie Ferguson-Spray, program coordinator at Mahaska County ISU Extension, said this year's event will be different from past years. Due to Oskaloosa being involved with the Blue Zones Project, Ferguson-Spray said Kidtoberfest will be focused on health and wellness via the theme, "Get Up and Move."
Children will be able to learn about dental health at a tooth fairy booth. They'll also have the opportunity to get some exercise "sumo wrestling" at the National Guard booth. There will also be an opportunity to make healthy smoothies alongside area dieticians, said Ferguson-Spray.
That's not all.
Ferguson-Spray noted that there will be an Iowa Public Television "story time," as well as an appearance by Dizzy the Clown and a robotics team showcase.
In keeping with the healthy living theme, children will be able to earn tickets to redeem for things like Hula Hoops, jump ropes and bags of fruit, said Ferguson-Spray.
Of course, many of the booths that have been with Kidtoberfest since the beginning will come back this year, which marks the seventh year of the event.
Ferguson-Spray stressed that Kidtoberfest is a free, family event. She said one of the the goals of Kidtoberfest is to provide families with affordable ways to become healthier, as well as the benefits of staying with the "toolbox of ideas" related to being healthy.

3 caps spread out throughout the day due to the support ingredients. 8 week durations are fine brother.
Just received my 2 bottles of Osta in the mail. Just curious what optimal dosing is/was for those that have used it. I took 3 caps tonight before going to the gym and my bench went up 50lbs!
Okay not really but I did take 3 caps and it didn't bother my stomach in any way.
For those that want to know:
30 years old (damn that sounds old)
Apx 10% BF (always visible abs)
No cycle experience (tried AndroLean last year and quit 3 days in due to bad reaction)
Bloods are all in normal and healthy range
Decent diet - I can elaborate if necessary
10+ years of training experience (I would consider myself an advanced lifter having tried most diets and routines, I just stick to the basics; heavy/high volume compound and eat clean with a cheat day)
Just looking to finally try something and see if this game is for me. If I gained 5lbs and maintained my current BF level then I'll be more than pleased, anything beyond that is just extra icing on the cake.
I'm mainly just curious as to what others have found to be most effective in terms of dosing; 3 spread evenly throughout the day, or pre workout/post workout? Is 20mgs enough for someone my size, etc... Any and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone that lends any advice
3 caps spread out throughout the day due to the support ingredients. 8 week durations are fine brother.
I'll definitely go 8 weeks. How long should I wait before adjusting the dose? Or is that even advisable? I've read about people going as high as 100mg/day (I have absolutely zero intensions of anything that insane) but I'm curious what others have found to be their "sweet spot". Thanks for the reply man!Originally Posted by heavyiron
This is real pharmaceutical Ostarine not some research chem.
20mg (3 caps) daily is plenty. In clinical trials 3mg daily was used to get the effect of increased LBM without androgenic side effects.
If you want greater effects I would stack this with a proven PH like Halo Extreme.
Yeah I've decided to start at 2 caps a day for the first week; no need to rush. Moderate gains at a low dose would be a success for me.Originally Posted by heavyiron
if i had 2 bottles when i ran it i would have loved 8 weeks, i ran 2 caps for 6 weeks
What were your results at that dose?Originally Posted by hvactech

Beyonce Haircut 2013 [PHOTOS]: Short Hair No More? 'Halo' Singer Flaunts Longer Hair in Brazil Tour Promotional Video
By Staff Writer | August 22, 2013 04:29 PM EDT
Queen Bey's proving to be a little indecisive recently.
After sporting a new pixie-cut more than couple of weeks back, which sparked a lot of love and hate everywhere, the 'Irreplaceable' singer was photographed at the V Festival sporting a bobbed hairstyle. And she's been out and about with it eversince.
Like Us on Facebook
See the pixie cut here:
See the bob here:
In a black and white promotional video for her upcoming Brazilian tour however, Jay-Z's better half looks uber sexy in a bikini as she flaunts her signature long locks.
See the video here:
We're a little confused as well. First, she seems to be following the pixie-trend, has a change of heart and decides to extend them a little. And now, well, it seems like she's back to her old locks.
It's possible that she may have shot the video before she chopped off her hair... or maybe the hair in this video is possibly... a weave?! We don't know either. But she has been posting photos with her hair longer on her Tumblr and Instragram accounts.
So... Is it hair extensions? Or were the pixie-cut and the bob - if it were truly possible - a wig? (Please enlighten us with your beautiful hair Bey!)
Anyway, she can do whatever she likes. She is Queen Bey after all. She can still run the world with those long luscious locks (if they truly are back) or with a sassy short do, if she wants to.
Beyonce's alter-ego Sasha Fierce is set to hit the stage in Brazil in September to kick off The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, wherein she'll be playing a total of 107 shows in Europe, North and Latin America, and Australasia regions. For more information visit her website here.
