I have an EFM electric boiler which stays on all the time even if I disconnect the thermostat. Does any know what could be causing this problem ?
Thank you, Leaneul
If it is used to produce your hot water for showers, etc., then it's doing its job. if it is only for space heating, but is speced for it, same thing. Some will maintain the boiler water temp contanstly so it can produce instant heat for the house. it could be working as designed...not necessarily as efficient as it could be, but as designed.

This winter has taken its toll on many of us. Don't get me wrong – I enjoy snow, and the first or second snowfall of the season is like fine artwork. But after a month or two, winter, with its cold, freezing temperatures, can really put a person in the doldrums.
Cabin sickness, so to speak, can take its toll. Animals seem to cope with it – so instead of complaining about it, let's us make the best of it. Get active in winter activities.

Recently when a friend and I wanted to go ice fishing we faced a major obstacle.
We needed bait such as wax worms, meal worms and small minnows. No big deal – we'll just drive a short distance to a nearby bait shop and pick them up.
After driving to several bait stores in the immediate area, we confronted a problem. Most were not open. Some were closed – for some reason – or had bait but not what we were looking for.
We drove around and finally located a store in Lebanon. In fact, several years ago while fishing Stoevers Dam for trout, I found this store by accident.
To continue our bait saga: We got lost finding it. I called the phone number and spoke to a gentleman who was friendly and courteous on the phone. He gave us directions and soon we pulled into Coble's Bait Shop located at 779 N. Eighth Ave.
When we entered the store, we were amazed at its interior. They had everything imaginable pertaining to ice fishing. Their minnow tanks were full of shiners of every size. Their cooler had wax worms, meal worms and butter worms. This little sporting goods store seemed to have it all.

Hours after walking away from totaling his Ferrari in a UK tunnel this morning, soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted driving a new ridiculously expensive automobile and giving the thumbs up in Manchester.
All that greasy body oil and pomade really can make a steering wheel slippery.
now...now...tmz...admitt it...C.R. has got the goods...he's a player (i'm not talkin soccer)...
Still haten huh TMZ. Poor babies.You only wish you had his life.And its about time your staff started dressing appropriately.Especially your fake wannabe Fabio with his greasy flat hair looking like he just rolled out of bed. Now how does it feel.Yea thought so.
Maybe he`ll put heavy weight oil on his hair....so that oil don`t drip on the tires Dhas timz.
That's his friend's Bently - he was following him when they were racing to pracice - Ronaldo wasn't late for practice, because he got a ride in the Bently and just left his car for the police to pick-up.
People with the name Tim usually gay. Who would have thought?
Still a jealous loser (and anti-semite).
clearly all of you who talk bad about C.Ronaldo is 1. jealous of everything that he has. 2. envious that you obviously arn't that fortunate to live the lifestyle he does 3. and plain out rude.
So instead of being plain out stupid.
How about we grow up and truly admire the
beauty the world has to offer.
Example: HIM!

My Party
- 4 guests

- My House / Santa Rosa / California / United States
Absolutely love this! Would be great for my daughter and her friends for her birthday next year!
We'd love you to leave a comment, but you need to be logged in.
Party Highlights
Cupcakes & Cookies
Activities / Games
Have the girls play truth or dare. What girl doesn't love that game? Put a new spin on spin the bottle. This is a colorful variation from the classic game. You will need an empty soda bottle and 10 bottles of nail polish, each in a different color. Set the nail polish in a circle with enough room for the bottle to spin. Have everyone take turns spinning the bottle. Whatever nail polish the bottle stops on is the color the guest must paint their fingernails. Continue playing until each guest has painted all 10 fingernails. See all the colorful and crazy combinations that everyone ends up with. You could also play no mirror make-up. This is a silly game that gets the girls laughing. First set out lots of beauty items on a table and have everyone apply their make-up without using a mirror. Then the girl with the best and most hideous look is the winner. Make sure to capture lots of pictures. Wrap the night up with basic pedicures. Make sure to have a few video choices available when everyone starts to quiet down (but isn't ready to go to bed yet!) Don't forget to make delicious popcorn to serve as they watch their movie.
Best Moment
The girls had a great time applying their own face frosting!

The Misguided Assault on Chick-fil-A
Banning a business because of the owner's beliefs is a terrible abuse of political power.
(Page 2 of 2)
Such a hypothetical should make it easy to see how it plainly offends the spirit of the Constitution—and sets a horrible precedent—for public officials at any level to punish otherwise legal forms of speech with arbitrary exercises of government power.
That a political official would make decisions over which businesses may operate in his community based on their owners' beliefs will lead to even more outrageous abuses. Menino and Moreno need to be reined in. If customers want to consume the Cathy family's sandwiches in spite of their marriage views (or sadly, because of them), then politicians can very well stay out of it. If customers don't want them, then the problem will resolve itself in due time.

Thanks, Scott, for eschewing the obfuscatory neologism "marriage equality" in favour of the more accurate and descriptive "gay marriage."
Yeah I want to marry 5 women...that shit is illegal everywhere outside of Sudan.
Five mothers-in-law?? [shudders]
Doesn't have to be. The could be sisters.
Yeah, but if they're sisters, they can't fool around with each other.
Oh, sure, they *could*, but lesbian sister sex just sounds creepy.
I can dig it.
Now, lesbian *cousins*...
It's ok as long as they are twins.
Is "gay marriage" really more accurate? I don't support legally defined "gay marriage", but I don't support legally defined straight marriage either. I prefer the phrase "marriage equality" because my first preference is to end government sanctioned marriage altogether. It is only a second-best case to grant homosexuals the same marriage rights that straights have.
Put another way, I don't think that gays are being denied rights - straights have been granted privileges. It is unfair to privilege one group of people over another.
Is "gay marriage" really more accurate?
I think it is, yes. The political and legal fight is over whether gay people should get married, and nothing else.
As DR ampersand S notes, "marriage equality" could mean equal status for the parties to the marriage, up to and including doing away with discrimination against men when its time to end the marriage.
"I think it is, yes. The political and legal fight is over whether gay people should get married, and nothing else."
Yeah, but the cultural fight (the only thing most people really care about), is whether gay people should be seen as normal.
Define "normal".
I prefer the phrase "marriage equality" because my first preference is to end government sanctioned marriage altogether.
So how is divorce and the division of assets handled?
*please let the answer be a social justice tribunal....oh dear Zod please....*
Pure contracts. Poorly delineated assets already necessitate some kind of arbitrator anyway.
Yep and you could have an arbitration clause so you don't have to go to court.
I agree. Cole Porter and John Maynard Keynes shouldn't have been denied the right to marry. Oh, wait. . . .
I was thinking marriage equality meant "equal status" as opposed to the unequal marriage practice of "man owns woman". It made sense to me in the context of bible belt douchebags discriminating against ideas. This is what happens when ambiguous phrases are used to discuss straightforward concepts.
Marriage equality would also include polygamy and group marriages which isn't part of the current debate.
Any kind of voluntary consensual arrangement and any non coercive form of contract is fine with me.
That's fine, but how would you handle, say, income tax? Should a family of one man and his four stay-at-home wives be allowed to average their income between the five of them, so that they pay less than the man would pay as a single filer? (I know that the married tax rates are no longer a pure income average, in which they pay as much tax as they would if each one earned exactly half the couple's income, but that's the general idea behind different married and single rates.)
Flat tax. Or no tax.
all this does is reveal the left in all its ridiculous glory. This isn't about hate and CFA as an entity is not discriminating against anyone. The CEO merely stated an opinion. That I disagree with him leaves me a choice - stand on principle and stop going to Chick-fil-A or say 'screw it' and go there anyway.
Frankly, that is how this ought to be. Those offended by what the man said have every right to boycott and those who support him may well double down on their consumption. Elected officials getting involved crosses a huge line. As came up in the AM links, it will be interesting when a right-leaning mayor blocks a business because that CEO is pro-choice or anti-gun.
Fortunately, right-leaning people tend to be more respectful of beliefs, in general, despite the fact that we may argue vehemently for the opposite side. We value individual rights. It's the self-proclaimed groups of people seeking diversity and inclusion that do not actually value either diversity or inclusion.
Except gay people. Their rights are ignored.
The only thing that's happened here is the Left has now sunk to your level.
True liberty-minded people will be looking for an alternative.
sorry, but the left has long since occupied the thought police level along with the let's-use-the-state-to-force-our-way level. Many conservatives favor traditional marriage. What other gay rights are being ignored?
What other gay rights are being ignored?
The right to be accepted and embraced by everyone unquestioningly, of course. The right not to be offended. The right to government gravy. After all, straight people have always enjoyed those rights without any encumbrances or conditions.
And you're going to goose step up and insure that every queer is accepted, embraced and not offended right?
Lol, your sarc detector is malfunctioning.
"The right not to be offended."
Just in case you just fell off the turnip truck, this is the United States. Everybody has the right to BE offended at some point in their existence. It's called the First Amendment. Hell, I am offended every time I see President Obama and/or any one of his Echo Chamber Hand Maidens.
"The right not to be offended."
I've noticed that for the Left, tolerance means being as thin-skinned as possible, whereas for everybody else, it means being as thick-skinned as possible.
True liberty-minded people would not expect that they need to look to government for permission to have their relationships legitimized. Nor would they believe they have a right to force others to recognize or legitimize their relationships.
legitimizing contracts is the essential role of government.
What Mr. Gray says. "[L]egitimizing contracts is the essential role of government." Right-- contracts, not relationships.
If it was all about contracts then the whole argument about marriage is pointless. After all, they would just need to get a lawyer, jot down that they both get half of everything and whatever other terms are important, sign it and be done. But we both know that there's a lot more to it than that.
SF furthers its rep for Prog stupidity:
"Ed Lee zings Chick-fil-A"
Not only is he claiming they can't open in SF, he's claiming they can't open in neighboring cities.
I think the crown it too tight; it's shrunk his brain. -
Even the liberals I know think this is stupid.
I know one liberal who had no problem with it, and mocked someone else who called it fascism. Then again, he's a bigger arsehole than Tony and forgets sometimes that the whole world isn't DU or Alternet.
Can I trade my liberals for your liberals?
I think the logic of many gay marriage activists goes like this.....
1. "Gay" is what I am, like "black" is what an African-American is.
2. Black people had to fight for their rights, using all kinds of tactics...sometimes illegal, but it's all ok when social justice is at stake.
3. Therefore, to advance gay rights, any code of conduct that might apply to other people doesn't have to apply to me because of social justice.As a consequence, you get behavior like this or what happened after the vote in California (ironically, with many of the threats and accostings directed at black people)
How the fuck is this even permissible under the 14th amendment?
what is this 14th Amendment you speak of and what in what document is it contained?
I think something is emanating from it.
By the way pickles on a chicken sandwich is fucking gross.
I've come to like it, and I'm not a fan of pickles on sammiches. I still don't like the waffle fries, though.
The waffle fries suck. I eat the original chicken sandwich and drink their tasty hi-caffeine ice tea.
you can sub cole slaw for the fries; it's pretty good.
Ask for your sandwich with no pickles. If CFA makes a mistake they'll give you another for free with profuse apologies and you can remove the pickles from the first one and eat that too.
Shhh shut the fuck up. Don't blow up loopholes, you jackass.
I like pickles on many kinds of sandwiches, but they're not great on things with bacon or barbecue sauce (excepting the McRib). If Chickfilet sandwiches did not have pickles, they would be nothing but a dry piece of chicken with nothing to lubricate them.
What's sad is, these people are so brazen as to state it publicly. I think we all know that these kinds of things go on every day, and despite the fact that these politicians went public with these blatantly unconstitutional abuses of power, this would have simply happened silently and inexplicably in days gone by. Are things so different now, that the cockroaches don't even scatter when the lights come on anymore? Imagine if these politicians had just kept their mouths shut and just roadblocked them in the future whenever the situation arose. None of us would ever even hear about it. They're comfortable enough now to tell us all about it?
We don't have to wonder what would happen if the jackboot were on the other foot. The jackboot has been on the other foot, as I noted here: http://blog.heterodoxhomosexua.....riage.html
That guy's family speech is the gayest thing I read today.
The one true definition of "family" is "people that you hate".
"There are those who support gay marriage who are applauding this effort. Do they grasp at all the potential unintended consequences of this misuse of power?"
No, they don't. Because they are quite incapable of imagining a time when Gays no longer enjoy their present "favored minority" status. And, frankly, given the history of societal attitudes towards homosexuality, this marks them as slightly less intelligent than a colony of cherrystone clams.
do they even see it as "a misuse of power?" A good many leftards see this as a wholly appropriate use of govt force because it supports their worldview and, not to put too fine a point on it, virtually criminalizes anyone who disagrees.
They don't see that one of their oxen could be similarly gored because they see any viewpoint other than theirs as illegitimate. Remember all the fussing about the mosque near Ground Zero, and that wasn't even led by politicians.
As always, an appreciation of the Iron Laws would save them much grief:
Me today, you tomorrow.
Foreseeable consequences are not unintended.
If they were capable of that sort of perspective and wisdom, they'd probably be true liberals or libertarians.
Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos is donating $2.5 million for the gay marriage cause. He generally is liberal/libertarian in his views.
no, Bezos is only liberal in that he seeks to use the power of govt to enforce his belief system. A libertarian would say govt does not belong in marriage at all, be it gay, straight, or poly.
I'd surmise Bezos is too right-wing for shrike, and is only being referenced positively by shrike for Bezos' stance on this one issue.
"A fool and his money" comes to mind, by the way, but Bezos is free to waste it however he wants.
Just as gays are free to blow their money on Obama's campaign (the guy who just recently changed his mind on gay marriage).
Hmm... wonder if Emanuel's recent anti-CFA stance has anything to do with Obama's war-chest stuffing acquisitionathon...
You would be wrong again. Bezos donates almost exclusively to Democrats.
There is nothing "right-wing" about him. Remember mainstream Dems are the party of free trade.
Your imagination is working overtime again. I suppose Soros is now "right-wing" to you for his support of Cato.
"Almost exclusively" = "dipshit".
He should donate to the LP, and not to either Team.
Not if his donations are protection money to protect Amazon from sales tax bullshit.
I remember reading something by a guy from Microsoft (yeah, I know it's vague, but that's how my memory works) - basically, the minute they started contributing to politicians' campaigns, the gov't stopped harassing them.
Remember mainstream Dems are the party of free trade.
Soros is a cunt. His *only* saving grace is his support against drug laws.
Otherwise, he could die in a fire, and I wouldn't be able to care.
Oh, and CATO should give back Soros' money, and refuse any further donations from that dirtbag.
No, no, he's right. If you just ignore that tiny, tiny Democratic voting bloc called "unions".
Why do you hate brown people, PM?
/leftist logic
I love how the hate "shipping jobs overseas." Better that white Americans/Europeans keep them all, despite already being the richest people on the planet. How very "progressive".
[Just as gays are free to blow their money ]
I see what you did there.
You cannot be a liberal and a libertarian.
Social liberal and small gov is a what then?
There are lot us that reject the Big Gov GOP.
Why don't you _also_ reject Big Gov Democrat Party, shrike?
Social liberal and small gov is a what then?
Libertarian, as much as anything.
Its certainly not "liberal" in the current sense.
Social liberal and small gov is a what then?
Libertarian. Dems are neither.
Actually, "social neutral" would be the best stance, but that's nigh-impossible.
How about "social non-interventionist"?
Technically, you can not be a liberal and a progressive. Libertarians are the actual liberals.
"Libertarian socialist" and "libertarian communist", even moreso impossible.
I agree. I am a liberal but don't claim to be LP since I failed the purity test. (I am for the FDIC and pollution regs)
That's not all you're for, shitheel.
Supporting Team Blue exclusively, means you can't *be* a libertarian. At. All.
Not without lying.
I don't claim to be libertarian. You keep forgetting that no matter how many times I admit failing the purity test.
I am a liberal.
Yeah, you are, shitheel. Which makes you just as despicable as the right-wingiest of right-wingers.
You should all die in a fire.
Not libertarian means not liberal.
Claiming to be a fan of Barry Goldwater, while supporting Team Blue... that's not just "not libertarian", that's retarded.
Notice how it sailed over his head, btw. If he ever did claim to be a libertarian, he'd be lying. But as usual, the puck flew past and his skates weren't even on the ice.
Fire today, FIFY?
Do tell me when you're planning on wishing people who disagree with you death by piranha attack. That'll be fun!
Fuck off, Tony. I give what I get. People who are nice to me, I give that back in return.
People like you and shrike? You deserve every morsel.
"I am a liberal."
You once told me that you're opposed to medicaid/medicare and other social programs. Forget for the moment that you were lying, but if true, you're closest to a moderate Northeastern RINO ala Mitt Romney.
I am a liberal but don't claim to be LP since I failed the purity test.
You fail the LP purity test in the same way Stalin did.
That said, I think the typical ACLU member is not libertarian, but is distinct from progressives in that they do consider the Iron Laws and do protect the rights of those they dislike. There's a reason they are taking Chik fil A's side and that a lot of them thought Citizens United was correctly decided. We've already got a word, so I think it would be best to leave the word liberal for people like that.
If the first amendment allows Citizens United then it has to be amended. It's a horrifically bad outcome to a well-intentioned principle. That's a tough pragmatic pill to swallow, but objectively can you say that the wealthiest interests being able to have the loudest "speech" by orders of magnitude is consistent with the spirit of free speech?
I usually go with the ACLU but CU is an abomination. Nobody endorsing the first amendment at its creation would have said it enthusiastically permits such dominance of wealthy interests on politics. That's quite clearly antithetical to the spirit of the founding.
Free speech means everyone has the right to speak freely. It doesn't mean everyone gets equal speech. That's not even possible. I don't understand how the people who whine about "buying elections" don't realize that the only way money can win elections is if voters are stupid and lazy and just vote for whoever puts out the most ads. In that case, the voters are the problem, not free speech. Not to mention CU included issues related to censorship, not just monetary donations
You mean the only way this equals wealthy dominance of elections is if the entire industry of advertising were to persists, implying advertising works.
This is a case when overzealous principle interferes with reality. The first amendment isn't a facilitator of plutocracy.
"The first amendment isn't a facilitator of plutocracy."
No, what you're seeing is big government facilitating plutocracy because it's INTRINSICALLY incompatible with freedom, including free speech.
"blah, blah, blah...plutocracy...blah, blah, blah."
If you were really a utilitarian the way you claim, you should favor plutocracy, since wealthy people tend to be both smarter and more educated, meaning they'll generate better public policy having exclusive voting rights.
What Calidissident said. Free speech, not equal speech. And the idea that the most ads get the most votes *should* be an insult to most people who post here.
And the idea that the most ads get the most votes *should* be an insult to most people who post here.
But the most ads do get the most votes. This does not work with lefties, of course. Only those of us who are confused, stupid, or evil (i.e., not a lefty) are subject to the siren songs of political advertisements.
Nobody endorsing the first amendment at its creation would have said it enthusiastically permits such dominance of wealthy interests on politics
Yeah, it's not like they had yellow journalism or anything when the country was founded. And since we needed government to censor the media then, we clearly need the same thing today. For great justice!
I will never pass a Chick-fil-A by again because of this abuse of power by these officials. Gays should be free to do what they want, and Dan Cathy should be free to speak his mind without recriminations from governments. Betcha' this episode increases their business.
"imagine the jackboot on the other foot—reactionary public officials in some backwater town denying an entrepreneur the right to operate an ordinary business simply because he's an open supporter of Obamacare, abortion rights or even marriage equality."
I would very much like to know if there are such cases involving an "ordinary business." I know about the mosques, and I know about the abortion clinics they're trying to shut down - but I'm talking about *ordinary* businesses on the order of sandwich shops.
I know the rhetorical value of getting liberals to think about a "backwater town" freezing out (ha!) Ben and Jerry's with zoning hassles because of their beliefs, but I'd like to see some evidence. Just because it hasn't been in the mainstream news doesn't mean it didn't happen, but it's strong *evidence* that it didn't happen, since the MSM would simply eat it up.
If the MSM missed it, it was due to laziness not lack of interest.
So where is the "backwater" counterpart to what's happening* in the enlightened havens of Chicago and Boston and San Francisco?
*Though Menino seems to be backing off.
"There are those who support gay marriage who are applauding this effort."
Who might those be? Fuzzy journalism. There probably are some. I don't think governments should consider business owners' religious beliefs in determining permitting. Where I live that would be unpleasant for liberals. But surely even public colleges can make such choices--There isn't actually an absolute right for Chick-fil-A to open a franchise in a particular location. I expect Oral Roberts U to serve nothing but Chick-fil-A from now on.
Everyone I know boycots Chick-fil-A. But it's so hard to keep up with the political beliefs of CEOs. I work for one who is a conservative Catholic who makes anti-Obama screeds at Christmas luncheons. I'd hate to think of my place of work being banned for his stupid beliefs.
"I don't think governments should consider business owners' religious beliefs in determining permitting."
That's what you say at reason.com. When posting at HuffPo, you're cheering it.
Then don't go to the luncheons, Tony. Or just ignore the religious rhetoric.
That's what sensible people do.
Government shouldn't be "permitting" anything in the first place.
That's right. Let the market decide. You're friends (man, that must be one annoying party) boycott it and I applaud their initiative - and they didn't need any coercing to take that decision.
Personally, I love Chick-fil-A and will be hitting one the second I cross the border.
As for the mayors, a couple of arrogant, self-serving, faux-principled, tyrannical nincompoops with illiberal DNA.
Emanuel enlisted Farrakhan to police the streets of Chicago, while Menino prevents Wal-mart from getting into Boston. San Francisco can't be saved.
One could only look on in sad disbelief.
I think the marriage debate should be left to churches not government. If a church wants to recognize a gay marriage then so be it.
There should be no such thing as "group rights." If you give a group rights you necessarily take away anthers. There can only be individual rights.
I'm an atheist, evolutionist, anarcho-capitalist and I agree with a christian conservative definition of marriage but I don't expect the gay community to care and I don't think my views should be forced on anyone else.
Nor do I think government thugs should be allowed to dictate your right to a living (ie right to your life). Let the consumers decide if they want to support the business.
Convince the heterosexuals to give up their group rights then we'll all go along with it. Until then let's live in the actual universe.
1850's Tony:
White folks get to own slaves, so black folks should get to own slaves too! Oh, you say nobody should have slaves? Well fuck you! As soon as the white folks give up their slaves then we'll quit asking for ours. EQUALITY FOR ALL!
Uh, actually, free blacks *were* allowed to own slaves, if they lived in slave states. There weren't many of them, but there were some.
Is the "gay marriage" issue really just about the one thing that the "sacred" institution of marriage almost always leads to, the unholy legal suit of "divorce"?
Since nobody is out there protesting the idea that marriage is between two consenting adults instead of a polyandrous definition of multiple consenting adults.
Does anyone else thing that the ulterior motive of gay marriage really just all of the lawyers' wet dreams of gay divorce?
If the Religious Right would step back and allow Same-Sex Marriage, then the "problem" should resolve itself in a generation or two.
You're assuming homosexuality is biological.
As opposed to what?
If the Religious Right would step back and
allowstop insisting thatSame-SexMarriage is the foundational institution in society, thus proliferating the inequities it engenders, then the "problem" should resolve itself in a generation or two.FIFY
What would you say is the foundational institution in society?
How quickly these politicians forget that as much as the second ammendment guarantees a separation of church and state it is much more intended to provide a separation of state and church. The government has no place telling ANY business owner what his personal beliefs should or should not be. The same people applauding these efforts are the ones that would be screaming at the tops of their lungs were a conservative politician attempt to do the same thing simply because a business owner was in favor of gay marriage. The door must swing both ways. Either we have freedom of expression, or we do not. We cannot have freedom to express only those opinions we agree with or we have no freedom at all.
I just don't like thousands of years of tradition turned on its head because some people can't manage 'Tab A goes in Slot A'
Would that be the tradition of girls being chattel property of her father before she becomes the chattel property of her husband? Or the tradition of parents telling their children who they are going to marry, even if they've never met?
A top-down design of society with no input from the unwashed masses is much better.
Note that, if labelled differently, men also have a 'Slot A'.
Furthermore, it's unfortunate that you seem to think that the purpose of marriage is to enable you to stick 'Your Tab A' into 'Your Wife's Slot A'. I'm sure Mrs. Zeppelin will be mighty proud to continue to refer to you as her Man knowing that you feel thusly about her.
Ed: "Honey, I'm home!"
Mrs. Z: "Here's My Slot A for your exclusive use, My Stone Age Relic Man, you!"
Ed: "That's My Girl." :) -
FYI: The Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in Germany took place on 01 April 1933, soon after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor on 30 January 1933. The boycott was the first of many measures against the Jews of Germany, which ultimately culminated in the "Final Solution". --- DO YOU SEE THE SIMILARITIES ?????

5 Key Marketing Trends From The Last Three Years
In honor of publishing our 1,000th blog post tomorrow, we're presenting special content all week to reflect back on our three years of publishing the Actionable Marketing Blog.
Looking back, here are the five major marketing trends that have emerged over the last three years. Each change has become integral to marketers' strategies for building their brands, attracting new customers and driving profitable sales.
1. Social media explodes.
While the argument could be made that media has been social since the first messenger carried a note to another person social media are the platforms that enable the interactive web. By engaging users to participate in, comment on and create content as means of communicating with their social graph, other users and the public these dynamic websites empower marketers, prospects, customers and the public alike.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Stake your turf on major social media entities. A Facebook page is no longer sufficient to define your social media marketing strategy. At a minimum, you need a blog as well as a presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest.
- Must be present. Participation is required. Further it's integral to your core business beliefs and strategy so that this should involve your employees, not something you outsource. Remember you can't just sit on the sidelines.
- Requires a level of transparency. Social media means that you can't fake it or hide the stuff that you don't want anyone to know because some employee or customer will make it public.
2. Content marketing means you're a publisher.
Developing relevant sanitized marcom full of empty content no longer makes it anymore. You need to provide quality information that customers seek. It needs to be well written and findable.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Establish a blog. As a CMS (or content management system), blogs provide a combination content nerve center and social media homebase. Additionally they support your search optimization and answer customer questions.
- Offer a variety of content types. You can't assume that your target audience only likes one type of content. Provide different formats to appeal to different segments.
3. Devices mobilize and connect.
Information can be distributed via a variety of devices when and where the prospect, not the business are interested. As a result, marketers no longer control the conversation. Customers do. They determine when they're in market for a product. They seek information before they're ready to interact as customers. (Here's 53 mobile data points and charts to help you.)
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Offer mobile-friendly content. At a minimum, provide a mobile website, mobile app, mobile search and social media (which is already optimized for mobile use.)
- Ensure that prospects and customers can reach you from any device. This means include your physical address, phone number and email address so people can contact you.
4. Communication becomes multidirectional.
The combination of social media and content marketing translates to the fact that marketers and media organizations no longer control the conversation. Interaction occurs one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many at the same time. While this may not be new, what's changes is the fact that it's amplified to a broad audience, that couldn't be reached before as frictionlessly or as cheaply. Further, the public can choose where they focus their attention, the true scarce resource.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Listen to what your prospects, customers and the public are saying about your company, brand and/or product. If you don't have the budget for expensive tools, use what you can afford.
- Offer your target audience a variety of ways to get information from you and to communicate with you. Don't force people to only visit your store or deal with your website. This is guaranteed to loose you potential business.
5. Marketing budget diversifies.
Budgets evolve to encompass a broader array of communications and content. It's up to marketers to work across their organization to ensure that all content and social media is consistent.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Create a set of social media guidelines. It's important to ensure that your entire organization is on the same page. Your employees and customers must know your rules.
- Break down the silos. Don't assume that your resources are limited to your department. Work across your organization to eliminate duplication and encourage others to participate in social media and content marketing.
Yet the reality is that the more things change the more they stay the same. Here are five marketing elements that have remained an integral part of marketing over the past three years.
1. Customers are central to your business.
People including customers and employees are the fifth marketing P. Without buyers, you don't have a business. You need to approach customers from a broad perspective. It's no longer just the actual buyer who matters but also the influencers and end users that are important.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Answer your customers' questions. Until you provide responses to your buyers' key questions, they won't buy. Remember this also applies to their influencers and the end users.
- Provide additional information post-purchase. Don't assume that you can abandon your buyers after they've paid for your offering. You need to support them to ensure that they like your product, can use it and talk about it positively.
- Support your fans. As research shows, your raving advocates are the ones who talk about your brand in real life and on social media. This is why many people believe that the biggest impact of social media is branding.
2. Brands continue to enhance your company's value.
Again this isn't a new concept. A brand's inherent value is part of its balance sheet. What's changed is the fact that brands are no longer two-dimensional.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Expand your brand beyond your logo. Think 360°. Remember your goal is to remain top of mind.
- Integrate your brand into every aspect of your social media and content marketing. Your target audience must be able to recognize your brand even when your logo isn't present.
3. Your business must be findable.
Historically, this referred to search optimization. What's evolved over the past few years is that it's no longer limited to showing up in the top five results in Google. Rather prospects, customers and the public must be able to find your firm across channels where they're looking for answers to their questions.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Incorporate key search terms in your content marketing and social media. Use every opportunity to support your organization's search optimization.
- Create non-search entryways to your business. Think outside of Google. Build email newsletters and social media presences.
4. Sales are critical to your business.
Your firm can build the best product or offer the best service but if you don't close any deals, then you'll go out of business. Even more important is that your sales must exceed your costs.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Keep the scent consistent through your sales process. Make sure that prospects recognize that they're still on your site or landing page.
- Create processes for closing sales. Just bringing in new prospects doesn't mean that you'll get sales. You need to qualify and close the sales.
- Test each step of the sales process. Don't assume that your work is done. Keep testing different aspects of your sales process.
5. You must measure your business results back to your objectives.
Therefore, it's helpful if your goals are specific and measurable. To this end, it's useful to keep track of your prospects and customers and to develop a housefile that enables you to contact your prospects, customers and the public.
Actionable Marketing Tactics:
- Use a call-to-action. Ask for the sale (or at least the next step in the process.)
- Choose key metrics. Determine how you're going to track your marketing and ensure that you have analytics in place.
As communications platforms and devices continue to evolve, so will marketing. It's our job as marketers to stay current and provide our prospects and customers with the information they need to make their lives better.
We would like to thank everyone who has read, contributed, commented and/or shared our content. We appreciate your time, attention and support.
What major changes would you add to this list and why?

What's included:
(1) Dust Right® Expandable Hose
The only real thing this unit...
Posted July 19, 2009
The only real thing this unit has going for it is the size of the hose. You'll find yourself fighting to stretch the hose out to anywhere near its maximum length. A few shavings will clog up the intake due to the grates so try to only use it to pick up sawdust. The tube and accessories are hard to break loose from the hose so I installed some handles to gain leverage. I also built a baffled separator to prevent clogs. All in all, it's so-so. Don't think I'd have made the investment if I'd known what I know now.
I use this in my garage...
Posted July 16, 2009
I use this in my garage woodshop. I like the fact that the longer hose will stretch anywhere in the shop. It collapses nicely for storage. I use it often for vacuuming up the dust on the floor.I would like to find a good way to attach the hose to some of my machines, however. Nothing seems to match up. Some of my jury-rigging works well, some not so well.
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!! I use it...
Posted June 24, 2009
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!! I use it with the dust right handle and easily switch from machine to machine. It's great because I don't have to move my dust collector around my little shop, I just extend the hose.
So much better than the black...
Posted June 13, 2009
So much better than the black hose that I'm tripping over all the time! Just put your hand over the end and the dust collector retracts it right to 3 feet! It might be just a bit heavier than the black plastic hose but it is worth it! I highly recommend this hose!
First, I would like to say...
Posted June 12, 2009
First, I would like to say this is a very great system. I bought it mainly to connect to my Dewalt Planer, which is about 15' from my Delta 1.5 hp Dust Collector. I bought the 4 X 21' hose and the floor sweep system.Secondly, in actual use the hose does not stretch 21' only 18' but if you include the floor sweep system it is 21'. This works great even though it is heavy but by far better than hauling out the shop vac to clean the floor.Third Tips and tricks: Rather than getting the Dust Right Tool Port I used a 4 schedule 20 PVC drain pipe cut 1 ½ long and cut out a ½ section perpendicular to the length. Slip this over your existing collector outlets at the machine and insert the dust right handle section over this. You will need to use both hands to get it on but it works. This works well with standard 4 L's and Y's etc. If you use this on all of your equipment, you can glue a piece of this on at each station. I tried this on the Dewalt Planer and a standard plastics L's. If you buy a 10' length of PVC it cost less than $14.00 for the tool port, and you can use what ever is left for you dust collection system.Next, I had a piece of 6 PVC pipe and I cut it 4' long. I cut a 4 ½ slot down its length and attached it to my Delta 1.5 hp dust collector in the horizontal direction. This is what I use to store the hose. The slot allows me to easily pull out the hose and retract it when not in use. Necessity is the father of invention.

Camarillo, Calif., Jan. 19, 2010 – The SolarWorld group is donating solar modules to power 10 pump stations to provide clean, safe water for up to 175,000 earthquake survivors in Haiti.
SolarWorld is donating modules to the nonprofit Water Missions International (WMI) for use in water-pumping stations in the Haitian capital of Port-Au-Prince. At a discount, the company also has shipped modules to operate about 25 additional WMI water stations. The company could speed product to Haiti because, from its U.S. sales hub in Camarillo, Calif., SolarWorld has been active in the Latin American market about 30 years. The company is the largest and most experienced solar manufacturer in the United States.
"Fuel shortages in Haiti are causing major roadblocks in providing aid," said George C. Greene IV, WMI vice president for international programs. "Through SolarWorld's assistance, WMI continues to place solar-powered water systems in the neediest areas. We have been incredibly blessed by our relationship with SolarWorld, and we know thousands of lives will be saved as a result of its hard work and generous efforts."
SolarWorld is donating the 10 kilowatts of solar equipment through its Solar2World program, which provides equipment for off-grid rural solar projects in the developing world. Last summer, the program gave more than 10 kilowatts in modules to a clinic in a remote Haitian village. The clinic reportedly is serving quake refugees.
Walt Ratterman, co-founder of SunEnergy Power International, directed the clinic project. Ratterman has been missing in Haiti since the Jan. 12 earthquake. Jean Jacques Sylvain, principal of longtime SolarWorld distributor Green Energy Solutions, is helping to search for him.
"Walt is a hero to many of us in the solar industry," said Paul Dailey, U.S. coordinator of the Solar2World program and marketing manager for SolarWorld. "We're all pulling for him and praying he is found soon."
Solar2World is participating in another project in Nicaragua.

From the critically acclaimed author of The Mysteries comes a haunting, lyrical, and provocative novel of a young woman's coming-of-age betwixt dream and reality. Here there's only one thing more dangerous than desire—getting what you want....
As a child, Agnes Grey dreamed of the perfect friend to ease her loneliness: a doll that would talk to her, tell her stories, share her secrets. Only her aunt Marjorie seemed to really understand. Something of an outcast herself, she told Agnes she'd had just such a doll when she was a child. She called it her pillow friend. So when Agnes receives her very own pillow friend—an old-fashioned porcelain doll painted to look like an old-world gentleman—she's certain her dreams have come true. And so they have—but in ways that Agnes could never have imagined. For as the line between fantasy and reality blurs, Agnes discovers that every dream has its price and every desire must be paid for. Be very careful what you wish for...he'll surely give it to you.

The Pillow Friend
Chapter One
Loneliness drove her to create an imaginary object of worship. This sublimation of her need of love she named Corambe, and for many years this glorified being was her constant companion. When she began to write, it was Corambe who composed her stories-she merely heard and recorded the words he spoke.
-Marie Jenney Howe on George Sand
Agnes Grey had a new doll, a present from her mother. It was what she had always wanted. Nothing had ever made her so happy.
The doll was almost as big as a real baby, and it was warm, and soft, and cuddly. It had the sweetest face she had ever seen. As she gazed lovingly into its big blue eyes she suddenly realized, with a warm thrill of excitement, that the doll was looking back at her. The eyes were real. The doll was real. And then it spoke.
Agnes woke, the sound of the doll's words still ringing in the quiet air of her bedroom. Wanting to reenter the dream, she kept her eyes closed and concentrated on the warm, golden glow of happiness she had felt while holding the doll. In a moment, she would feel its welcome weight in her arms and understand what it was saying to her. But reality was too strong. Instead of the doll's voice she heard the central heating blowing warm dry air through the ceiling vent, and felt the sunlight which sifted through the Venetian blinds onto her arms and eyelids. She was sweating beneath the covers, so she kicked her legs until the quilt slipped off the bed like a sulky cat. Then she sat up and looked around, hoping that the dream was true, a memory instead of a fantasy, and everything would be changed.
But as she looked around her familiar, cluttered room,

Techs on a Pullback? Analysts Offer Up Some Picks
Stocks have hit a bump. Interest rates are rising, there's uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve will ease up on the monetary stimulus, volatility in Japanese markets is rattling investors worldwide and U.S. economic growth remains sluggish.
But some market participants see this pullback as an opportunity for investors to get into economically sensitive areas of the market, such as technology.
Alison Deans of Varick Asset Management warned that there could be more weakness for stocks over the next few months but said that cyclicals are a place investors will want to be longer term.
"My feeling is there will be a leadership change," she said. "As we start to see the economy pick up, corporations are going to start reinvesting capital, consumers are going to start spending more money. So, I think those industries are more economically sensitive."
David Sowerby chief market analyst at Loomis Sayles, pointed to Lowe's and tech names Teradata and Microchip as stocks he'd be buying on a pullback.
JPMorgan's bullish U.S. equity strategist, Thomas Lee, also sees the longer-term case for technology.
"I think one of the more important stories over the next three to five years is if we're in a regime shift of rising rates and the U.S. economy is strengthening—everyone is going to focus on cyclical profit growth, and that's going to favor the cyclical stocks," he said.
Tech, in particular, is cheap compared with defensive areas such as consumer staples.
"If technology is trading at a 13 times price/earnings and staples are nearly 20 times but you're getting almost the same EPS growth, similar dividend yields, maybe it makes sense to be buying some of these technology stocks," Lee said.

But which ones?
Head in the Cloud
Cloud computing and mobility have been among the big themes in tech investing.
Last week, Goldman Sachs upped its view on software and certain areas of the Internet space to attractive from neutral, citing the potential for an acceleration in the economy and IT spending in the second half. That could lead the group to outperform, the analysts say.
The broker put cloud-computing play Salesforce.com on its Conviction Buy list.
"We continue to view CRM as one of the premier growth stories in software as it continues to expand its footprint and define new product categories," Goldman analysts wrote in a research note. "With the stock down 10 percent year-to-date vs. the S&P 500 up 14 percent we see getting [the fiscal first quarter] out of the way and accelerating bookings growth in the balance of the year making CRM an attractive candidate to 'catch-up.' "
Goldman's note didn't mention CRM's acquisition of ExactTarget for about $2.5 billion.
(Read More: Cramer Wary of Salesforce.com's Latest 'Land Grab')
Analysts are generally bullish on Salesforce.co, with a median price target of $50, implying nearly 30 percent upside from current levels.
Goldman also has buy ratings on Citrix, Oracle, VMware and Facebook.
Intel Catches an Upgrade ... and a Downgrade
Intel, a relative outperformer over the past month, caught an upgrade to outperform from FBR Capital Markets. According to FBR, Intel may be able to offset falling PC sales will initiatives in networking and foundry.
"We now believe the company has enough new avenues of opportunity to replace a large swath of lost PC units," the brokerage wrote.
Turning around its fortunes in mobile chips could also help, the analysts said. Intel recently unveiled mobile chip technology Silvermont, which promises better performance and less power consumption.
Other analysts are less convinced.
Piper Jaffray cut Intel to underweight, writing in a research note, "The optimism around the new CEO, Silvermont and the launch of Haswell has caused shares to rise, though we believe underlying fundamentals remain unchanged and the company's core PC business is in a state of decline."
Their $20 price target on the stock implies about 20 percent downside.
Time to Love Apple Again?
Now that Apple has detailed plans to return more cash to shareholders, attention has returned to its product lineup.
Wall Street has been hoping that innovations will renew the excitement that once surrounded the stock. And Apple may start to do that at the developers conference that begins Monday, analysts said.
(Read More: Guess Which Tech Giant Is Beating Apple and Google)
"Whether it's something as benign as a streaming-music service that competes with a Spotify or a Pandora, or whether it's something that has a bit more substance to it, like a mobile payment, it's really laying the groundwork for WWDC for future products," Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster told CNBC.

Well tonight is Halloween and I can't believe that some families here (for the last decade) encourage their children in the activities. I have always brought my children up to not take lollies from strangers (and here we go) now people are saying it is ok. We don't participate in the festivities.
I know that this is an American tradition; personally I wish it had stayed there!
P.S. Its dark and no one has come; maybe it is starting to die off in Australia (thank god). The trick has been that I didn't have to treat!!

Nintendo enjoyed higher demand for its console and handheld gaming platforms during the April to September period, but the strong Japanese yen has pushed it to cut its full-year net profit forecast, it said Thursday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Videographer: Brian Whitesell
Lynchburg, VA – People got a good insight into our area's economy Tuesday morning at Region 2000's annual report breakfast.
Dr. Fletcher Mangum of Mangum Economic Consulting went over his findings of the past year. He says Central Virginia went into the recession later, and now we're coming out of it later.
His report also included that 1/3 of Lynchburg residents leave the city to work in jobs in the surrounding counties. The unemployment rate in Region 2000 is at 6.5 %.
Executive Director Bryan David is looking at the unemployment issue realistically.
"We are still very much on the positive side on job creation but really isn't where we should be in order to get a lot of folks that need jobs back," said David.
David says Region 2000 relies a lot on national issues. Once those are settled, we will start to see a stronger turnaround.

Do you miss the insanity that would accompany every new Drake release in the pre-Thank Me Later days? No? Well like it or not their back, albeit in diluted form, now that Drizzy's begun to drop records off his upcoming r&b-only mixtape, beginning with the tearstained, I Get Lonely Too. The board work, of course, if provided by constant production partner Noah "40" Shebib, who interpolates TLC's Fan Mail to create a typically ambient and warmly electronic beat for Aubrey to lay down the kind of vocals guaranteed to make teenage girls the world over hyperventilate. It's only "r&b" in the sense that it's romantic and full of crooning, but no matter the label, something tells me Drake's got yet another hit on his hands, even if there's sure to be no shortage of "he should stick to rapping" proponents (see the comments below). Drake's sure to explode the internets mixtape, It's Never Enough, doesn't have a release date yet, so in the meantime we'll just have to content ourselves with speculation and debate. Ah, just like the good 'ol days.
