The Riverside Music Festival is back for its third annual event and one of its big perks for area music fans continues — the three-day festival is still free to attend.
After last year's highly successful event, which attracted 6,000 people, more than 40 bands and musicians are set to embark on the third annual Riverside Music Festival on April 19 through 21 at The Riverside Inn and Dinner Theatre in Cambridge Springs.
For the last three years, Moyar Entertainment has produced the Riverside Music Festival as a featured event for the Riverside Inn during the month of April. As in the past, this year will feature top national, regional and local acts, in addition to workshops and demonstrations.
The festival's objectives are to create a unique opportunity for those in the local and regional communities by providing music and education at no charge; provide the opportunity for those with musical instruments to take part in the various open jams throughout the festival; educate and build an awareness of the deep historical value of French Creek through various artifact displays and with an emphasis on water conservation; introduce younger generations to the arts in an interactive setting; and increase the number of attendees from 6,000 to 8,000 this year.
This year's main stage headliners — The Bernie Worrell Orchestra and Hypnotic Clambake — will perform on April 19 and 20, respectively.
Bernie Worrell, Dr. Woo himself, along with his seven-piece ensemble, is expected to electrify the main stage on April 19 at 10 p.m. as the Bernie Worrell Orchestra. Worrell is an American keyboardist and composer best known as a founding member of Parliament-Funkadelic and for his work with Talking Heads. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic.
Hypnotic Clambake, a musical group from Rochester, N.Y., that is known for exploring a wide variety of musical genres his the main stage on April 20 at 9:30 p.m. Founded by front man and accordionist Maury Rosenberg in 1989 in Boston, the group began as a studio recording project and later evolved into a touring band. Rosenberg graduated from the Berklee College of Music, where he majored in filmscoring.
An often-changing lineup has helped influenced the many shifts of musical direction that Hypnotic Clambake has made over the years. Owing to a steady schedule of live performances throughout its career, the band has maintained a loyal cult following throughout the U.S., primarily in the northeastern region. Since 1996, the band has hosted the annual Outrageous Universe Revival Festival (OUR Fest) at the Brushwood Folklore Campground in Sherman, N.Y.
Many other musicians will perform on the pub stage all three days, while the Music Hall stage will feature musicians, Todd's Musical Petting Zoo, Wood and Strings Music Store, vendors, workshops and demonstrations.
More than 80 instruments from around the world will be featured for an interactive experience for musicians and music lovers of all ages at Todd's Musical Petting Zoo, while Liam guitar builder Patrick Podpadec brings his handmade guitars and mandolins, including a vast selection of the Wood and Strings Music Store to the festival.
Also, more than 15 vendors from all aspects of the music business will be on hand.
You can go
The third annual Riverside Music Festival takes place April 19 through 21 at The Riverside Inn and Dinner Theatre, 1 Fountain Ave., Cambridge Springs. The free-to-attend event includes more than 40 bands and musicians, who will grace three stages. The festival includes an interactive Music Mall, multiple workshops, demonstrations, music/art vendors, and local craft beers will be featured.

Dachshund, Mini
View all our puppies at www.bramepuppies.com! Cooper is light red smooth hair cutie! He is searching for the perfect new home! Cooper needs plenty of room to run and explore and of course, lots of love and attention!! Cooper is registered with the ACA (American Canine Association www.acainfo.com). He now lives on a cattle ranch in Southeastern Oklahoma. Our puppies are part of the family and they know it! We prefer our puppies to be picked up in Oklahoma but we can ship them to many cities in the US (additional $250). Your puppy would travel on a passenger plane in a pet carrier/taxi and depart Dallas, TX and arrive in its new city the same day. You would need to pick your puppy up at the airport. The puppies travel in a climate-controlled, pressurized area of the plane and have food and water in their crate. We do require a non-refundable deposit to hold our puppies, then before shipment the balance on the puppy and shipping fee is due. We can take pay

Deep ruby red in the glass with a bouquet of cherries and a soft, smooth and mouthfilling body.
Clos de Grives is wonderfully vibrant in colour with a rich complex nose of chocolate and mocha underlaid by intense fruit character and a hint of tobacco. The tannins and the oak are wonderfully well integrated and the finish is a joy, a rare mixture of complexity, concentration and elegance.
A complex, elegant and structured red, the nose is full of matured forest fruit, violets and liquorice with a backdrop of tobacco, praline and vanilla. The mouth is soft, velvety and seductive with a long and structured finish.
Sweet aromas of blackberries and plums. Velvety texture accompanied by soft tannins and a long length.
Bright reddish-purple in colour. Aromas of ripe blackberries and plums are mirrored in the flavors. A direct, Zinfandel-like fruitiness combined with Merlot-like soft tannins make it charmingly seductive.
Aromas of ripe blackberries and plums are reflected on the palate with soft tannins. -
Sweet aromas of blackberries and plums. Velvety texture accompanied by soft tannins and a long length.
Ruby red, intense when young, tending to slight garnet. The bouquet is intense yet delicate. The palate is dry, full-bodied and typically bitterish. As it ages it will become more refined assuming a full and harmonious flavour. A very tasty cherry-and-beef flavor on a sweet mid-palate followed by a tart, moderately tannic finish.
This moderately ruby/purple-hued wine exhibits complex aromas of liquorice, roasted herbs, sweet cassis and cherries, smoked meat, and spices. A light style of Garnacha offering an elegant, surprisingly silky and vibrant wine.
Deep brooding purple in colour with a vibrant nose of blackcurrant fruit, hints of liquorice and a touch of oak. The palate is full bodied but soft and juicy, packed with brambly briar fruit flavours, hints of spice and the oak makes a luxurious return on the finish.
The nose is lead by forest fruits with earthy notes and subtle touch of toast and spice. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of up-front fresh fruit – redcurrant, blackberry and raspberry.

Sprint Nextel Complaint - Trying to buy new hybrid phones
Review by
Comments (1)
SAINT CLOUD, FLORIDA -- On 9/24/07 I received new hybrid phones to replace the phone I was sold at twice the cost by "Nextel licensed Representative" with the agreement that they would send me a return label (which they did) and credit me the cost of the phone. I proceeded to call Nextel and get my new phones activated, but was told I could not because I was trying to port numbers, which of course not true since I have had the same numbers with Nextel since before they merged with Sprint.
So I proceeded to try and get them to correct the problem to no avail. After 9 days of repeatedly trying to talk to someone with intelligence and getting transferred to a total of 21 people, I finally gave up and cancelled my service with Nextel, Im thought the problem was resolved. I received a confirmation number with a promise of no termination fees or charges for the next month since my phone was turned off. I was so happy, but then of course On 10/31/07 I received a bill for $492.67. Ironic that it was Halloween because this is like a recurring nightmare.
I proceeded to try and talk to someone about this screw up, but after 1 1/2 hours I could only get them to credit me for the the termination fee (which was ridiculous to charge since they could not turn on the service to my new phones) and the "reconnect from suspension fee" they charged me when they suspended my service in error instead of cancelling it. (It was big of them to credit me back for there errors). But of course they will not credit me the monthly service charge even though I had no service for the month since I terminated service with them due to the fact they could not provide service.
I feel like this is an episode of the Twighlight Zone. So now I sit and wait for the next FINAL bill that will be for over 200.00 for service I never got.
How is it that the FCC can do nothing to make this corporation treat the consumer fairly.
So much for the help from the government, when it comes to companies charging fraudulently.

If James Harden is going to make his first All-Star game this year in his debut season with Houston, he'll likely have to be voted in as a reserve by the Western Conference coaches.
Oklahoma City Thunder notebook: Scott Brooks says James Harden is an All-Star
And the Rockets guard could have at least one vote from his former coach.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks said following his team's second victory this season against the Rockets that Harden is worthy of an All-Star selection.
"James was really good for us," Brooks said. "He's a terrific player. He's an All-Star player. He's definitely at that level, and he's going to be that way for many, many, many years. He still has improvement to make in his game and he's really good now.
Fans select the starters for the All-Star game by voting for two guards and three frontcourt players. Lakers guard Kobe Bryant and Clippers guard Chris Paul are the top two vote-getters among West guards and figure to remain there.
Harden is competing with Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, a virtual lock to be named a reserve by the coaches, Spurs guards Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and Golden State's Stephen Curry.

text: In today's highlight of moral issues: leadership of clergy in the Catholic Church; seen as a major backlog of urgent need that came out as the topic of our guest speaker. She's Dr Monica Applewhite, Ph.D. who presented 'leadership' in perspective held at St Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers; a huge place, a better rendezvous for this event. Understanding the problem as the first item brought us to embrace our roles as priests; safe environments for children and adolescents the main issue that was explored and shared. The clergy of the whole archdiocese of New York attended this session with learning experience; it's an update and a continuing information that Church's faith points to a shared witness. With the presence of our beloved Cardinal Egan who reinforced a plea for his clergy people, alertness, action, vigilance and prayer that's how he drew the process in a nutshell. Defined as a decision that demands seriousness, our discipleship, our calling entails commitment; as men of God in service to his own people, our priority has its share of sorrows and joys. To battle with the world, the flesh and the devil, these are constant forces, tests and trials; involved in this journey of following him, Christ, our model and source of inspiration. The cost of discipleship for someone like me, embraces situations common to all people how life is being led with depth and allegiance; a biblical portrait, a priority matter, that Christ – has called me to commit and be of service.

Lancer question: Am I insane...? (self.TestOutfit)
submitted 11 months ago by OVERSCOTTSOvergoats
Okay, wrong question. It it because I'm insane that it feels like my ADS mouse sensitivity on the Lancer is linked to iron sights, rather than my scope setting? It seems oddly difficult to move the aim point a very small distance to catch a corner of a tank or sunderer over a hilltop.
If nobody can experiment before I get home, I'll test this hypothesis at around 6:00 this evening.

The lancer and I have a very love/hate relationship. When the target is within 400m and is at least 1/2 exposed, it is EXTREMELY easy to take it down. However, past that or if only a small portion is exposed, I feel like I am missing by a pixel or two at most. I have tried changing the sensitivity, but it is extremely tedious because it will effect every other gun. What I have found to be helpful, is instead of trying "micromovements" or barely moving to try and line up, move your crosshair off target about 5-10 degrees and snap back to it, I usually have much more success getting to where I want over larger movements.
Just my 2 certs.

Our LG Spectrum review, almost 3 months in the making. Why the delay? Was the device so good that we couldn't bring ourselves to give it up? Or was it that bad that we couldn't force ourselves to use it enough to put together a full review? If I told you up front, that would ruin the magical anticipation that is built when I attempt to leave you hanging with some fun line like, "We will find out after the break!" With that said, jump past the break to find out. (more…)

Motorola DROID 4 Review – Verizon
The DROID 4 has had an interesting early life. We handed out the first ever pictures of the device all the way back in October of last year followed by a weekend of D4 info overload that gave you every single detail that you could ever want to know about it. We fully expected this phone to launch in December, but for an unknown reason, it was pushed back and finally released this month. You can grab it now for $199 on 2-year contract in hopes that it can last you the life of a contract. Can it? We are pretty sure that it is up to the task, but let's talk details for a few minutes. Then you can decide. (more…)
Motorola DROID 4 Unboxing and Quick Hands-on
The Motorola DROID 4 will launch in Verizon stores tomorrow, February 10, for $199 on new 2-year contract. For keyboard lovers, this is the first phone to sport both 4G LTE and a dual-core processor, making this your best option. With its 1GB of RAM, 4″ screen, 8MP HD camera, edge-lit keyboard, and future global readiness, it's definitely the most powerful and complete phone with a keyboard we have ever seen from Verizon.
However, there are some concerns about the quality of the screen and whether or not its 1785mAh non-removable battery are enough to make you pass up the RAZR MAXX, Galaxy Nexus or Rezound. After a quick few minutes with the device, the display appears to be the same as what we saw on the DROID X2, DROID 3 and Bionic – three screens you know we are not fans of. And then there is the battery, which isn't small by any means, but will get you no where near the single-charge use that the MAXX will. Is a DROID 4 MAXX on the horizon? I hope not, as that would be another tank to add to a list that we thought was no longer growing.
Gallery and unboxing below. (more…)
DROID RAZR MAXX Review – Verizon
Since we already reviewed the DROID RAZR and there are very few differences other than the battery in the MAXX, this won't be the full review that you would normally see with a new device. Instead, I will go through my thoughts on the subtle changes and of course, talk about the 3300mAh elephant in the room. I will say that I was as impressed with this phone as I was the original RAZR, but the single-charge life was a massive bonus. (more…)
DROID RAZR MAXX Unboxing and Quick Hands-on
And there she is, the DROID RAZR MAXX and its 3300mAh battery back in our hands. After a quick tour of the device at CES, we have it again to hopefully see if it can live up to the massive single-charge numbers that Motorola was touting. The hardware for the most part is exactly the same as the original RAZR with a 1.2GHz dual-core OMAP4430 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8MP shooter and 4G LTE connectivity, so rather than putting together a full review, we may end up just doing a whole bunch of battery tests. We'll see over the next couple of days how things go and may change our minds on that.
For now though, enjoy the quick unboxing and comparison shots to the regular RAZR after the break. We have the MAXX on the charger now so that we can start pounding on it within the next couple of hours. (more…)
LG Spectrum Unboxing and First Impressions
Our brief moment with the LG Spectrum at CES 2012 was exactly that, brief. In order to give this new release from LG and Verizon a shot at taking top Android phone honors from the Galaxy Nexus, we had to get one in hand for an extended period of time. Today marks the start of our quest to put the Spectrum through the ringer to decide if this reasonably priced ($199 on contract), yet highly spec'd phone is worth your money. With a 4.5″ HD display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8MP shooter, and 4G LTE connectivity, this phone is by no means a slouch on the hardware front. Does it have enough polish on the UI side to make it a winner though? We will soon find out.
For now, let's see what it looks like in hand and out of the box. (more…)
Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE Review
As the Galaxy Nexus approached launch on Verizon here in the U.S., you couldn't pull up an Android site without seeing some sort of rumor, tip or leak that had to do with it. This phone was hypebeasted as if it was the second coming of some religious tech figure. Over the last couple of months, things have been unbelievably wild (both positively and negatively) around these parts, and the majority of the thanks can be attributed to it. As a "Nexus" on Verizon, the release of this phone marked an industry first on a number of levels including the combination of Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE, NFC, an unlockable bootloader, and the support of the entire developer community. It has been dubbed as one of the first truly finished Android products to date. With so much to live up to, we will do our best to let you know whether or not it has.
Video: Hands-on with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE
Had a chance to pickup the Galaxy Nexus from Verizon yet? If not, maybe this quick video walk-through of it will motivate you to get your behind into a store. Assuming stores haven't sold out that is, since many Big Red shops were running out within an hour this morning.
The phone is as good as you would expect it to be. It's sleek, light, has a vibrant screen, feels great in hand, and performs like it has been optimized to perfection. OK, that might be a strong word after only having it for 4 or 5 hours, but as someone who has been toying with the GSM variant of the phone, I can say with a clear mind that there are very few flaws here.
Check out the video below to see for yourself. (more…)

Organization Rallies Global Oncology Community to Eliminate Cancer Health Disparities
Ami S. Bhatt, MD, PhD, Franklin W. Huang, MD, PhD, and Teodora Kolarova, Harvard Medical Student
Published Online:
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Ami S. Bhatt, MD, PhD
Franklin W. Huang, MD, PhD
Teodora Kolarova, Harvard Medical Student
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Boston, Massachusetts
Today, more than half of new cancer cases and over two-thirds of cancer deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Underlying this burden of cancer is an unequal distribution of global resources, a lack of coordinated care for oncology patients, and a multitude of social, cultural, and economic factors that lead to late diagnosis and incomplete palliation in the developing world.
Bridging the Equity Gap
To combat the growing cancer burden, concerted action is needed from the global health and oncology communities. In her Presidential Address to the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Sandra Swain, MD, highlighted the "possibilities and promise in global health equity," encouraging oncology leaders worldwide to join the effort to bridge the "access gap" in cancer care. The Global Oncology Initiative (GO; www.globalonc. org), an academic and grassroots volunteer organization based out of Boston, Massachusetts, seeks to do just that. GO connects local and global oncology communities and is developing programs aimed at alleviating worldwide cancer care disparities.
Building Community Locally
GO was founded in May 2012 by two hematology/ oncology fellows from the Dana-Farber/Partners Cancer Care program, with the initial objective of breaking down silos between members of the Harvard cancer community who were involved in global health efforts. Supported by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Center for Global Cancer Medicine and by member institutions of the Dana-Farber/ Harvard Cancer Center, GO launched a series of global oncology-focused seminars, the "GO talks," in November 2012. The themed lectures have featured the work of several current leaders in global cancer care, including Drs Paul Farmer, Eric Krakauer, Julie Livingston, and Raul Ribeiro. Topics have ranged from palliative care, to pediatric oncology twinning programs, to an ethnographic analysis of the Botswana cancer culture. Since launching, the GO Talks have been attended by over 1000 people and viewed freely on GO's website in more than 20 countries. The talks provide an educational platform and opportunity for networking within the community as evidenced by the rapid growth of GO efforts over the past year.
Building Community Globally
Working to "break down silos" between members of the global oncology community, GO has used information and communications technologies to develop novel tools in cancer care and control. While numerous organizations work in resource-limited settings, these efforts often function in isolation and may miss the opportunity to share and strategically merge efforts to optimally deliver critical services. In order to address this need, GO has collaborated with the National Cancer Institute's Center for Global Health to develop a mapping platform that depicts the efforts of those pursuing global cancer research, care, and outreach internationally. Currently, a multidisciplinary team of GO volunteers that includes physicians, public health experts, and computer scientists, is working to launch "version 1.0" for the community. In line with GO's objectives, a "cancer resource map" of global oncology projects is an innovative way to help align the goals of government agencies, academic medical centers, and local and international oncology efforts.
Harnessing Technology
Another innovative GO project has focused on addressing the day-to-day, on-the-ground challenges of cancer care delivery faced by practitioners in healthcare systems with limited resources. To improve the coordination and delivery of care, GO developed an open-source software platform that integrates local resource information with current best practices to provide stepwise directions for the management of cancer patients. At present, there are well-established cancer treatment guidelines for use in high-income settings (NCCN, NICE) and more recently, these guidelines are being adapted for use in low- and middle- income countries. However, a platform that takes into account the shifting availability and location of resources in developing settings does not currently exist. Through an innovative pairing of resource cataloguing and guidelines that are sensitive to the available resources, the GO Guideline platform seeks to help healthcare workers deliver care that maximizes the utilization of scarce resources.
Building Relationships
Any good collaboration begins with mutual respect and understanding. Maintaining open communication regarding the needs of partners in resource-limited settings ensures that tools and services provided are not only useful, but streamline rather than complicate the workflow of already overburdened systems. Nurturing relationships between GO members and professionals abroad has been a top priority for the organization. A GO collaboration with Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) in Blantyre, Malawi, was initiated in January 2013 by the hospital's head oncologist, Dr Leo Masamba. This partnership has established a monthly tumor board and a social work "twinning" program to improve social work capacity within QECH. At the request of QECH, a budding endeavor will explore creating patient education materials that are appropriate for low-literacy patients.
Building a Pipeline of Future Leaders
Many of the current global oncology leaders have transitioned into the field mid-career. With the growing needs of the world cancer community, supporting the development of future leaders in this field is a priority. The GO initiative helped establish Students for GO, whose members include medical, dental, and public health students from the Boston community. The group participates in GO volunteer projects and hosts monthly case seminars where students and their mentors present patient cases to discuss health system barriers and the unique cultural and social aspects of cancer care. To promote GO's commitment to innovation and education, the student group also leads an Expert Interview project that highlights notable papers in global oncology. With the rising burden of cancer globally, there is an urgent need to improve early diagnosis and control of cancer in resource-limited settings and address the needs of underserved cancer patients. Through the integration of academic and communitybased efforts, GO aims to address this important call to action and welcomes oncologists in high-income settings to do the same. For those interested in volunteering or learning more about the Global Oncology Initiative, please visit www.globalonc.org. Also on the website is a calendar of upcoming seminars, lectures, and volunteering opportunities at

@karelyneveThat's the truth. After nearly 5 years working out of a home office, I was missing the structure of an office, and, frankly, other people. Though I often am on client sites, working at home was growing isolating -- and the temptation to expand the work day (even if only to blog) was turning me into a bit of a dull boy. Now I share office space with another firm (with which I team on two clients), and efficiency and effectiveness is up. And, a very happy birthday to you, @shonali!
@ginidietrich Sure - I have some time this morning, so let me see what I can come up with on this. Thanks.
@CjShaffer1 @Ike A reasonable question, CJ. Especially for a product promotion release...
@CjShaffer1 @Ike When you buy PR Newswire, you're buying access to the lists and the people to format and send it on. The appearance on Yahoo! News, etc., if a side effect. Second, CJ, if you earn a placement in the Tech site that discusses your product, is that advertising? We PRs say no...
@ginidietrich @Ike Would he sue for cease-and-desist, or for cash? He might not care about us because we can't pay $135,000 to make him go away... The scale of ATT is a mite different, despite all of our thriving enterprises...
@Ike This is why the question of whether a press release is equivalent to advertising is so important. The first of the Bolger tests (and you have to have all three) is whether the speech is advertising. In PR we differentiate advertising and PR on the basis of whether we pay for it: if we didn't buy the space, it's not advertising according to us. But in Kasky and here, the court is assuming that it is advertising because it's promulgated by a commercial entity (at least that's how it seems to me - would love to find the actual opinion, but it's not published yet that I can find). Their view is that everything is about commerce for a business, therefore all their speech is commercial. Hm, that's a thought - all those "everything is marketing" folks have their creativity impeded if that is true - and we see one potential result here.
@jasonkonopinski Hence supporting the Court's rationale that the release is an advertisement.
@ginidietrich @Starr McCaffery @jenzings Well, ATT could appeal to the Supreme Court, but with a damage award of $135,000, it's likely way cheaper to let it go.
@KellyeCrane I agree, Kellye - but it's the wider issue of what constitutes advertising that concerns me. Differentiating between product promotion PR and other PR could be a fine distinction, as Kasky/Nike proved out. This is another piece of case law that could squelch public relations and social media content in certain circumstances.
This ruling doesn't surprise me. It's the same court that ruled, in Kasky vs Nike, that public statements a company makes are, by definition, commercial, regardless of their specific purpose. The US Supreme Court declined to hear the case, which has the effect of letting the district court decision stand. The California Supreme Court relied on Bolger vs Young's Drugs, a 1983 decision which had a three-part test to determine whether speech was commercial.
"the Court specified three factors that would assist in analyzing speech as commercial or noncommercial…[the materials] were conceded to be advertisements, they referred to a specific product, and the company mailing the [materials] had a clear economic motivation for their distribution. Each of these factors, considered alone, the Court concluded, does not automatically compel a classification of commercial speech…"[i] but all three factors in combination, however, "provides strong support for the District Court's conclusion that the [materials] are properly characterized as commercial speech. ([i] Sprague, R. Business Blogs and Commercial Speech: A New Analytical Framework for the 21st Century. American Business Law Journal 44(1) 127-159. p. 144)
This particular ruling, however, only meets two of Bolger's three tests -- the last two. It's a bad decision, unless we all accept that press releases are "conceded to be advertisements." Plainly, if our release mentions a product, this particular court holds that it's an advertisement.
So, marketing communications/PR activity (as opposed to general reputational or informational PR activity) might see some changes as a consequence of this ruling. (we studied Kasky and Bolger in my PR law class last year, and I wrote a paper on whether blogging was or was not commercial speech under the law...)
Many apologies for the lengthy comment, @ginidietrich and everyone... It's my latent professor coming out...
HI Shonali - thanks for this thoughtful post. I certainly feel a sense of conflict when contemplating whether to make the not insubstantial investment to go to any of the big conferences. For example, I pined to go to the AMEC/IPR measurement shindigs in Barcelona and Dublin - not only were many of my Measurement Commission colleagues intimately involved in the creation of landmark principles and foundations for standards of measurement, but the chance to learn from people from outside the North American bubble were a powerful draw.
However, with resources just flowing from lil ol' me, it was not possible - especially in context of client obligations.
I find that the smaller conferences offer not only less taxing financials, but an easier scale. I spoke this week at IABC's Heritage Region Conference in Pittsburgh and feel like I got quite a lot of networking qi there. I'm also speaking at IABC/PRIME in NYC next month, another sort of specialty conference that may offer smaller, more focused networking.
Internationals just kind of wear me out - my last was PRSA in DC in '10 - and it was a bit overwhelming... Now, perhaps, with my burgeoning reputation and no doubt soon to be massive social media presence, I might have had better luck on the connections front in San Fran.
One thing is for sure, however - we all need to get out more, myself included. Cheers!
Hey Justin - thanks for starting this conversation. I don't want to hijack the comments, so how about a one-liner in response to each point above?
1. Tweet seen: Agree, idealistic, probably impossible to measure reliably, but also might be a false metric, depends on objectives, doesn't describe impact.
2. Exposure/impressions - only valuable if you believe scale is critical, tends to discount the long tail, discounts pockets of influentials, depends on objectives.
3. engagement per tweet - again, scale deceives - if only 2 people engage with your tweet, but they're the people you most want to engage, the numbers will suffer -- maybe a weighted set of metrics leading to a score of some kind would work.
4. Retweets per post - see above - is more always better, does this discount targeted stuff, is it all more about outputs than outcomes?
5. Lists -- I like this one because it implies attention and separates from the broad stream -- now, if only you could send easily only to lists (maybe my ignorance is showing...) -- I haven't tried to do so in a while.
6. Explore this on further, mon ami = maybe the weighted metrics hold promise here. @kdpaine or @metricsman might have some ideas here too...
taariqlewis Good stuff, Taariq. The thing is that impressions are an output stat - so even when it's "audited circulation" it's still very iffy whether anyone saw, let alone acted upon your content. Duncan Watts of Yahoo! did a huge study of billions of tweets, trying to see if "influence" even existed on Twitter. Guess what he found? ;-) Cheers for now.
Rock on, Shonali -- I've been at the regular workout regime for about 10 years. I weigh 20 lbs less than I did in high school, and feel great. I still enjoy my wines, but the food side has been terrific for years. As @howiespm and ginidietrich say here, once you get into it, you never want to stop. I do 4-6 days per week for 30-60 minutes depending on the day. And, we walk, hike, bike, do yard work, etc., in addition to the basement gym. Congrats on finding a program that works for you!
And another thing -- it's not always about telling employees stuff. Most of the time, we need to foster discussion and dialogue so that operational issues surface and the organization can do something systemically about them. I know many companies that struggle to get problems solved. In almost every case, there's no discussion across silos, no effective relationship between leaders and individual contributors and an us-them mentality. You don't correct that through sharing information from the center, you correct it by creating a means for dialogue and shared accountability.
Good on ya!
ginidietrichmarianne.worley I'd agree with you if I had more confidence in the overall communication ability of marketers. (some of my best friends are marketers, cue grin...) Too many marketers are one-way focused, however. We see that in PR too, but by my count, we're better at understanding the multi-stakeholder environment than marketers traditionally have been. If you see every tool as a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
One more thing: Effective measurement programs touch outputs, outcomes and business results -- and some activities will more directly correlate to sales than others. In Marketing, we typically prioritize according to the strength of that correlation. In PR, we have other constituencies intrinsic to our ability to be in business that we must build relationships among. We, therefore, cannot prioritize according only to correlation to sales.
ginidietrich Cough, cough, great idea. Writing now... ;-)
ginidietrich Agreed! I'd always vote for increased communication, coordination and collaboration (my 3 C's of integration!) - if you do those things, you wind up with many of the benefits of integration without the 4th C - consolidation. We're trying to move the business forward, whether by focusing on leads, web traffic, call center volume, depth of understanding (of the business and competition), employee engagement, etc. The measurement of this effort typically has three pieces: outputs, outtakes (aka communication objectives, such as awareness) and finally outcomes (aka business results). The value proposition lives within those three pieces.
HI Gini - nice, provocative piece, I enjoyed it. A couple of comments:
There are a lot of valuable PR activities that aren't strictly related to sales. Issues management, crisis communications, employee communications, corporate social responsibility, to name a few.
In the Integrated model, we agree to agree that everything eventually is about driving sales, but a more accurate understanding of public relations might be to say that we look to affect both ends of the revenue/expense calculus: we seek to contribute to sales and in the case of internal comms, reduce expenses.
Financial impact (true ROI) isn't necessarily the value of our profession -- depending on the industry, the sales cycle can be so long or complex that isolating our contribution is too expensive or difficult -- why spend the cash on proving the impact if we agree that having a good halo of positive vibe surrounding us is a desirable outcome?
In public relations, we worry more about the quality of relationships with our many stakeholders -- another difference between marketing and PR is that we tailor our communication messages, style and methods according to specific objectives for each constituency. For too many marketers, every stakeholder looks like a nail, so every tool looks like a hammer.
It's not wrong to say that we need to drive sales -- we do. But that's not the extent of our value to organizations. Even social media isn't all about driving leads -- that's just part of the puzzle.

Latinos Embrace Social Media, Use Twitter To Raise Awareness Of Community Issues And Propose Solutions
As a musician and social justice activist, online social media has helped Maria Isa sell more CDs and mobilize the growing number of Latinos in her home city of Minneapolis.
Isa wasn't surprised that a study published this summer said Hispanics are among the most active social media users.
"Social media is about accessibility for me," Isa said. "I can send information to my audience with the push of a button on my cell. I'm able to expand my message of social justice in the Latino community and also my work and the works of others who network with me."

Ulyanovsk, April 18, Interfax - Law enforcement officers have searched the office of the Narconon Center of Promoting Healthy Lifestyle in the town of Dimitrovgrad in Ulyanovsk region. "The search of the building was carried out as part of the criminal case over illegal enterprise, launched by the investigative committee of the Dimitrovgrad police department," the regional police department said in a press statement on Friday. "Everything that was seized during the search, and the questioning of clients shows that Narconon was doing medical and education activities without licenses," the statement said. The investigation is underway. Narconon is a subsidiary of the Church of Scientology that has been recognized by Russian experts as a totalitarian destructive sect. The organization was founded in the United States in the mid 1960s.

I'm not buying BO2 either I'm fed up of these annual game releases which see no improvement or development just rehashing the same old things. BO2 hasn't even got a shred of originiality. So I'm not buying Activision or EA for a whole year.

Mojammer May 15, 2012 9:04 AM (in response to ragedoutlaw)I'm dissapointed that the Face Off maps aren't in Survival mode as well. I have no idea why they would spend resources to make maps that are only playable in a tiny portion of the game, 2 multiplayer game types (1v1 and 2v2). These maps would do very well in a number of places:
-All or Nothing
-One In the Chamber
5. Re: I hate Activision now (Elite DLC SCAM)
mundokev May 15, 2012 9:16 AM (in response to ragedoutlaw)They are catering to the masses to maximise profit. I don't really mind what they dish up on elite now as I only need a stop gap until Black Ops 2 (fingers crossed) which hopefully follows the style of the original. Treyarch better get it right, as MW3 can be really frustrating at times

nickpeck36 May 15, 2012 11:50 AM (in response to ragedoutlaw)First off I love you people that cry "scam" when it isn't. They said there will be "X" amount of DLC, NEVER stating exactly what the DLC would be, so how is that a problem? Did you not think that maybe some of it wouldnt be what you wanted?
Brains people, everyone has one yet hardly anyone around here can figure out how to use their own. I don't care about the spec op's stuff but I'm not crying about it as I know some people really like that mode. Maybe one deay I will give it a shot, I don't know but I don't mind that it's part of the DLC.
They are putting stuff out there for everyone, they aren't catering it to you and you alone. So many damn cry babies around here (though it's still not as bad as the battlelog forums for BF3, good god it's a nightmare over there).
Next time don't buy the overall bundle and just wait for and buy the individual DLC, though you will end up paying more but whatever.

So I bought Elite last month when they announced 4 new Multiplayer Maps for May in the Calendar. Because I am a huge fan of survival mode and was looking forward to the 4 new maps in May. I was even hoping they would all drop on the same day in May so it would be almost like a new game feeling a little bit like COD-xmas. Thats why I spent 50 EUR for "Elite".
Now it was changed and instead of multiplayer maps we get "F-OFF" maps that nobody cares about. They are NOT playable in survival mode. I am mad. I seriously HATE Activision now and cant understand why I have been so stupid to support 1) prepaid maps model as in elite and 2) pay them so much in advance I should have rather bought MaxP3 or BF3.
My decision is done to never buy an Activision Product again - I dont care if it was always fun to play COD. I dont care if other games yet arent as good. I dont care. My rage is bigger. Activision is scamming their best customers - those who buy elite - and earnt over $100 million from it yet fails to deliver good content that has a lot of replay-value as in Survival-Maps. I am so dissapointed and speechless how a company can **** their customers like this. Fair for the price of Elite would be 1 new map every week - new maps - older maps..... What Activision delivers for our money is a JOKE. Bye.
Congratulations on exercising your right as a consumer to not purchase future products.
But you weren't scammed.
You assumed what the content would be... and you know what they say about assume.

Steve and Lorraine German. Two baskets. The smaller one has very straight sides and a high kick-up in the bottom. Underneath there is a faint pencil inscription: "Percy Butterfield/ Dec. 25, 1886." Lorraine said that there's a record of a Percy Butterfield born near Lewiston, Maine, on Christmas day 1885. She speculates that the basket might have been filled with Christmas/birthday gifts for the boy's first birthday. It's $350. The larger piece is a Native American basket with wooden feet. "It was raised for drying," Lorraine said. It's decorated with colored dots and $895. Three New England blown chestnut bottles between 5 1/8" and 5½" tall. They cost between $395 and $495. J. & E. Norton, Bennington, two-gallon jug with a very dark tree and house decoration. "They went overboard on the cobalt," Steve said, adding, "When you get into trees and houses, the price goes up a lot." This example is $13,500. Tin sign with a blue-gray-green background and gold lettering, $250. This is not your standard hooked rug with lion. This folky beast stands in a desert with cactus, and there's a plane flying overhead. It's $395. This circa 1830 country desk was found in Vermont. The Germans noted that the top appears to have been altered in some way because there's evidence of a lock on its front edge. The useful piece, with replaced pulls, is $950. A charming romantic pastel landscape. On the reverse of the frame is a label, "J. Hyle Raser," but Steve noted that the frame has been cut to fit the picture, so the label may have referred to another picture. In any case, the piece is nice, colorful, and $725. |
In the Trade
When people decide to become antiques dealers later in life, more often than not they've been collecting for decades and have a house full of material to draw on for their initial inventory.
That was decidedly not the case with Steve and Lorraine German, owners of Mad River Antiques, LLC, in North Granby, Connecticut. Steve admitted that he didn't know much about antiques at all. Lorraine liked them but said she usually bought pieces that needed fixing because she couldn't afford the good stuff. "I learned caning and hooked rug repair. They were born of necessity," Lorraine said. (There may be a genetic component to her handiness. She said her father was a mechanic. "He could fix anything.")
The year was 2001. Steve was taking early retirement after 29 years with The Hartford insurance company. Lorraine had been laid off from her job with a decent severance package. They were both unemployed; they had some money, which gave them breathing room, but not so much money that they could spend the rest of their days lolling on a Caribbean beach. They still had to make a living.
Steve recalled, "We stayed up one night talking. What are we going to do with the second half of our lives?" The answer was "antiques."
There was, as we have noted, one drawback. "It was August 2001, and we had no inventory," Lorraine said.
They also didn't know much about the antiques business in general, and, of course, they didn't know that the business was sliding into what would become the most dismal time for selling antiques in a generation. Nevertheless, they have persevered. They are primarily show dealers, and they said that their recent shows have been the best since they started exhibiting almost a dozen years ago.
Perhaps their lack of lifelong contact with the antiques trade has contributed to their survival. Both had spent careers in business, and they approached their new venture as a business. They accepted the current market as a given and set about making a life in it.
"We set this up as a second career, not as a hobby," Steve said.
The first steps were to see a lawyer (hence the "LLC" after their business name) and to set a goal.
It was, as Lorraine mentioned above, August 2001. "Our target was the Winsted, Connecticut, tabletop show the following March, sponsored by the Lions Club," she explained. They spent the interim buying inventory and hit the target.
In the year following that first show, they did more than 30 shows. "Some were bombs," Steve said, but they quickly learned what sold at shows and what did not. They settled on a country-style mix, heavy on stoneware, along with baskets, quilts, hooked rugs, signs, toys, and Christmas material, a specialty of Lorraine's. She said, "I inherited some Christmas ornaments from my grandparents and became addicted to them."
"We look for small things," Steve said. They avoid large furniture. Spending their latter years lugging heavy stuff doesn't appeal. "I don't want to be on the receiving end of a desk," Lorraine said.
As recently as a few years ago they were still doing more than 20 shows a year, although they have whittled that number down to about 14, which they think is just about right for them. "We do several levels of shows, from vetted to funky," Steve said. They do some high-profile, expensive shows and some relatively modest local shows. Lorraine pointed out that small shows don't necessarily mean small business. "We have repeat customers at small local shows," she said.
When we visited them, they were getting ready to do the Connecticut Spring Antiques Show. They also do the spring and fall Rhinebeck shows, as well as shows in Harwinton, Wethersfield, and Guilford, Connecticut.
They do the Weston Antiques Show in Vermont during Antiques Week in the fall, and this July they are adding the outdoor show run by Carlson & Stevenson at the Riley Rink in Manchester, Vermont.
The couple said their best shows each year are generally Stella's Antiques at the Armory in New York City in January and the Midweek Antiques Show in New Hampshire during Antiques Week in August. "Our best shows have been Manchester and second best have been the New York City armory," Steve said. "Midweek in Manchester has been our best show for the last four or five years."
He lauded the promoters of both events: "We think Frank Gaglio is great, [and] the Stellas know how to bring the crowds in and how to do a show." Before getting into the armory show, the Germans had done pier shows, but Steve said the two shows draw very different crowds. "There are people who come to the armory that won't even go to the pier." He added that, because of costs, the armory show is always a gamble—one that so far has paid off. "We just hold our breath for the four days we're in the city."
Steve said that getting into the business during this distressing period actually made things easier for the couple. Show managers were happy to hear from them. He said, "We came in at a time where it was starting to get tough. Dealers were dropping shows, and we got into shows that we might not have before."
They got help along the way. For instance, said Steve, "Harold Hanson [then publisher and editor of Northeast Journal of Antiques and Art] took a liking to us. He put in a good word with some show promoters," Steve said.
The couple does one show outside the northeast: in Williamsburg, Virginia. Steve said, "One of our favorite shows is Williamsburg right after Thanksgiving. We go a week early and relax. It's a mini-vacation." And they sell, especially Christmas material. "There are little old ladies who run down the aisles to see Lorraine's Christmas stuff," he said.
It's a small show with about three dozen dealers. Lorraine said, "It's like old home week. There are dealers you see that you don't see anywhere else." Steve and Lorraine both find differences between this southern show and northern venues. Steve said, "There's a difference in the southern mentality. They'll come back every day to look at things." Lorraine added, "You don't have the rush you get up here when people run through in fifteen minutes and it's over. They do you the courtesy of looking at everything in your booth."
Steve and Lorraine both have nothing but nice things to say about Bettianne Sweeney, the show's promoter. Steve said, "She's a sweetheart. She takes care of her dealers. She has everybody to her house for dinner."
Lorraine observes that southern buyers are more likely "to buy shinier stuff. Not super formal but something like a refinished candlestand." And she said that they buy northern stoneware as well.
Exhibiting at different levels of shows allows the couple to sell a wide variety of merchandise with a wide range of prices. "I don't like to be boxed in," Steve said, noting that, at recent shows, they exhibited a 1930 Mickey Mouse hooked rug and some 1960's road signs from their hometown, along with expensive stoneware. "We put the signs up on the wall at the armory, and they sold right away."
Stoneware remains the heart of the couple's business. Lorraine said it accounts for 50% to 60% of their gross. They also act as agents for collectors who want to sell pieces quietly. "Our best sales last year were as middlemen," Steve said.
Why did they settle on stoneware as the major component of their business? "Stoneware found us," Steve said. "We met a lot of great people in the stoneware world." Lorraine added, "I love researching, and there's lots to research with stoneware."
Steve said the couple's first love is ovoid-shaped stoneware from the Boston/Charlestown area, but they sell pottery from all areas. They said it is becoming more and more difficult to spot stoneware repairs as restorers have become more adept at masking them, even when they're viewed under black light. "Your eye and sunlight are your best defense," Lorraine said.
They also said collectors should be forgiving about condition. "Stoneware was the Tupperware of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries," Steve said. It was meant to receive hard daily use.
Lorraine said, "We do lots of talks on stoneware. I'm a big believer in educating customers." She also is currently deep into a research project on Boston and Charlestown pottery that she hopes to publish. She said, "I've always bought lots of reference works. Even when I was young, I read reference books for fun and visited museums for fun. I had a jack-of-all-trades sort of reference library."
It was Lorraine's penchant for research that led to the firm's name. It has nothing to do with the Mad River valley or ski resort in Vermont. Instead, it has to do with the property Steve's mother owns in nearby Sandisfield, Massachusetts. It's an 18th-century house that received a more grandiose Federal/Classical addition in the early 19th century. Steve's grandfather—a furrier—bought it in the 1920's when the town was the site of a small Jewish settlement. Steve was recently named to the board of the Sandisfield Arts Center, which is housed in what he said used to be the local synagogue.
Lorraine said, "I was doing some deed research and found out that the brook running through the property was called the Mad River in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds." They liked the name and used it for the business.
The Germans are active in coordinating the Stoneware Collectors' Sale and Lecture held each May and September in Bennington, Vermont. The event features a lecture by an expert in the field and a show and sale under a tent at the Antique Center at Camelot Village. Steve said that the event draws a small avid group of collectors, but what makes it special, he said, is that "you get maybe three hundred pieces of stoneware under the tent."
The couple has a Web site, but, Steve said, "It doesn't bring in a ton of sales." Lorraine admitted, "I don't update it as often as I should". Still, she noted, "We get a lot of hits. I've found a lot of our stuff on Pinterest boards."
That fact suggests that younger folks may be taking an interest. Lorraine said, "We're learning to adapt to what young people want." She said the 1960's street signs they sold in New York went to a young couple. And at the Guilford show this past summer they sold a railroad lantern to a female college student. "She just loved it and said she was going to decorate around it," Lorraine said. She added that at shows, "We'll have little kids buy Christmas ornaments for their mother with their own money. They always get the best deal."
Lorraine has a long list of other things she likes doing. She single-handedly painted and stenciled much of their home's interior; she makes Adirondack-style picture frames; she spins wool; and, most of all, she likes to garden.
What does Steve do? "I mow the lawn," he said.
