The good: The Samsung Solstice has an easy-to-use touch interface and a useful set of multimedia features. Photo quality is quite good.
The bad: The Samsung Solstice lacks instant messaging and the memory card slot is behind the battery. Call quality, browser speed, and video performance are unimpressive.
The bottom line: The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best.
User reviews
so far the best phone i've owned
by JacksSmirkingRevenge on September 25, 2009
Pros: sensitive,accurate screen,thin but durable,very light,bright screen,enough options for the average user,creative contacts list.plenty of ring tones.
Cons: low ear speaker sound.soft vibrate,MicroSD location(under battery)OS full keyboard a bit small.like any touchscreen,needs cleaning often.eyeglass cloth,$2 at wal-mart,etc..works great.

Summary: I tried 2 other touch screens prio to the solstice.The Xenon(had to replace 3 in 2 months)The Impression.I'm sure its a great phone new,but it was sent as a refurb in place of the Xenon.but again i had problems with 2 of those before having them allow me to buy a new phone at new customer pricing without a new contract.
I'll be honest and say i did replace it once because it stopped reading my sim.but they replaced it new and its been smooth sailing ever since.hasnt froze,locked up,shut down or any other major touchscreen issues.So i'm very happy with what i have now.the screen is a good size,accurate,sensitive and fun to work with.as mentioned in cons,the OS full keyboard is a little too small and i have very thin fingers.I usually use the T9 on the dial pad and its great.T9 is very smart and easy to switch back to numbers or symbols.dialing is smooth and fast and have lost only 1 or 2 calls so far.I also mentioned the phones ear speaker.it is a bit quiet and can be hard to hear in semi-noisy areas.but overall not THAT bad.i have heard worse.calls are clear and static free.the person on the other end can hear you just fine.never got complaints.speaker phone isnt great and i never use now.echoing on both sides.not that you have to,but a good bluetooth headset clears most of these problems.i use one for the most part anyway.
there is a lot of memory,a good selection of ringtones on at&t available or use one of the list of the tones that it comes with.there are more than most phones and arent as hokey.of course there are a few but its expected.
MicroSD is located under the battery which makes it difficult to remove.USB recommended(not included).Internet package would be usefull as well to transfer or upload anything to or from..
But for the price and the pro's,it is worth every penny.i'm not a phone inernet guy nor do i listen to music off it.so it has more than i need but is there if i want it.I'm glad i went through the problems and stress of the other phones.makes me love this one even more.i would recommend it to anyone looking for a great touchscreen that isnt a overpriced over hyped iPhone.

Wanted to like it but too many compromises.Sent back :(
by kwebmail on October 25, 2009
Pros: Biggest Pro? Call quality. Hands down this is the best cell phone I've ever had. People often thought I was on a land-line it sounded so good.
Thin and lightweight, much better size to carry than an iphone.
Nice virtual keyboard.
Cons: Scrolling is poorly implemented. Far too many scrolls to move down a long list or browing.
Voice dialing (should be a strong selling point on a touch screen phone) is utter GARBAGE.
Speakerphone echoes.
AT&T junk pre-installed.
Other minor stuff.

Summary: Man I REALLY tried to like this phone. My Sony W580i camera broke so I gave this a shot after reading the positive reviews. I like the size, not too big and bulky (iphone) not too expensive, nice size screen, good reviews, etc.
The ONE thing that made me keep trying to like it was the call quality. Honestly this thing sounds great, literally I had people asking if I was on a landline. Must be the network and phone combo in my area. This FAR exceeded my expectations and I've always thought "wow, if cell phones could just be great phones first I'd be in heaven.."....well, I was wrong.....there are other things that matter.
Unfortunately the great quality is somewhat mitigated by the fact that you have to hold it up to your ear at all times because you cannot use the speakerphone. It's just worthless. Trying to use the spearkerphone results in major feedback echoes that make it un-usaeble on the other end of the line (did anyone even TEST this function at Samsung?)
Surprisingly it had adequate battery life if you don't use the browser a lot.
Browser use depletes it pretty quick though.
Messaging is pretty easy, landscape mode and the virtual keyboard work well.
Bluetooth works well for file transfers.
The biggest 'across the board' problem is that scrolling is terrible. If you have a lot of contacts or are browsing the web, you'll soon get really sick of scroll, scroll, scroll to try to get through the data.
It really should have more 'inertial coasting' like the iphone or 'hold to continous scroll' buttom.
This was probably the deal breaker for me, since the phone has a nice large screen (which auto changes to landscape) and relatively fast on ATT 3G network. All the scrolling makes it simply not worthwhile to use for browsing and anything else you need to use like going through contacts.
A related issue I had (that you may not) was importing my contacts from the SIM. They came across in all kinds of screwed up ways (last name first, truncated names, missing numbers, etc). I have over 100 so this was not something I was looking forward to fixing but I started against my most frequently used contacts. Got about 30 of the common ones done to practice with in the month I had it.
And because the scrolling isn't great I tried to use the voice dialing (on a touch screen phone you can't dial without looking), Samsung uses some program called Nuance that is supposed to look at your contacts spelling and figure out the corresponding sound signature. good luck with that. You can't 'train' it and you can't improve it's accuracy rate.
I tried a couple of different ways of spelling my contacts, placing names in different fields and never got its accuracy above 1 out of 20 times on names. Numbers and yes/no work okay but so what? Overall it's just crap so there goes another potentially useful feature down the drain.
Honestly I prefer the 'training' approach of other phones as opposed to the 'one size fits none' of the Solstice. If it picks wrong once, it's ALWAYS going to pick wrong (these were not complicated names either). useless.
Minor stuff:
In landscape mode the camera lens is directly under where the fingers of your left hand rest. You can see and adjust though.
All the AT&T stuff is pay-to-play (navigator, demo games, etc etc) and better/free 3rd party apps (like GPS apps) won't work.
Scheduler, calendar doesn't default to having an alarm set to notify you when you enter a notice....what's the point of putting it in there if the thing won't remind you unless you scroll down and select 'alarm'.
Comes with nothing else useful in the box (no data cables, no headphones, no memory). I know this isn't new but c'mon couldn't Samsung toss a $1.25 data cable in there for your customers?
Bottom line I really wanted to like this phone but in the end I knew I'd just get more fed-up with its defects. I ended up taking the $35 hit on 're-stocking' and returned it.
Haven't found a replacement yet but I'm starting the search.
Hope this helps.

I chose this over the Eternity
by regaug on September 25, 2009
Pros: Touch screen is fast and responsive, better than the Eternity
Build quality seems excellent; leather-like non-scratchable back
Music player sits in memory making it easy to stop/start with bluetooth
Small and light for a touchscreen
Cons: Wish the widgets were customizable (like adding new ones)
Wish they hadn't downgraded the camera res (only thing that is better on Eternity)
Learning to scroll on the touchscreen takes some real practice
Memory card sits behind battery (nit pick)
Summary: I disagree with a lot of CNET's review; this is a solid, nice phone. I chose this over the Eternity and LG's VU because it seemed to have ...
Summary: I disagree with a lot of CNET's review; this is a solid, nice phone. I chose this over the Eternity and LG's VU because it seemed to have a better quality build, and seemed less "clunky". The Touch Wiz interface seems more responsive on the Solstice; that and the vibe feedback make it much easier to text with, IMO.
I chose this over the Impression because it was cheaper, lighter and smaller, and after trying them both out in the store, I decided I didn't want the slide-out keyboard. I learned to txt with predictive T9, and I can do that faster than use qwerty with my thumbs
I did not compare call quality between the Impression and Solstice; but I have read several reviews complaining of call quality and especially speakerphone echo problems on the Solstice. My phone does NOT have these issues, call quality seems normal, I am told it sounds just fine on speakerphone. On my end, the quality of the speakerphone is not quite as good as my trusty old LG CU500 music phone, but acceptable considering I usually listen to music via bluetooth.

Summary: Im really frustrated that Cnet rated this phone lower than the eternity. I have three friends that have the eternity and all have said the touch response works way better on the new Solstice. They also like the size and the camera difference is not really noticeable. Cnet seems to be as thorough in their compare and contrasts as they used to be

Worst phone I have owned since 1993
by osubob on October 16, 2009
Pros: Price ($99), size and full keyboard.
Cons: Touch screen either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Screen too small for web use. Horrible web browser (may not be Samsung problem).

Summary: I bought this phone when I switched from a Blackberry Curve with Verizon to AT&T. It looked impressive in the store and the features appeared sufficient for my needs. I would have kept the Blackberry, but it is incompatible with AT&T service.
I initially blamed the performance difficulties on my unfamiliarity with this type of phone; however, after 2 months of using it, I realize the problem is the phone and/or AT&T.
The touch screen is the worst that I have ever used. It is far too sensitive, especially when trying to scroll through contacts or surf the web. You are constantly switching to contacts or screens that you do not want and then having to go back and try again. Perhaps Samsung should have included a stylus. I have an HP Pocket PC and have started using the stylus with the Solstice whenever I use the internet.
If I had used the internet browser more during the 30 day trial period, I would have returned the phone to AT&T. I only use the internet feature whenever I am unsure about the quality or value of a product when I am shopping, so it is not a daily occurrence. After a couple of really frustrating experiences, I have taken the time to really test it out and find it extremely unfriendly.
I have had Motorola Q, Blackberry Curve, LG, and Motorola StarTac cell phones in the past and I have never been motivated to write a review about a cell phone until I used this one. It may work out for you, but find out during the 30 guarantee period. I will probably buy a blackberry soon and chalk up the $99 cost for this phone to a learning experience.

Couldnt have been more simple.
by heston91134 on October 30, 2009
Pros: Its slim. Lightweight, feels good in your hands. A one hander phone. And it definatley has a great camera. Good with text messaging picture and video messaging alike. Okay call quality. Fast 3G service support
Cons: Not as "hackable" as other at&t phones. A little laggy or unresponsive at times, but not very frequently. Voice command and GPS functions suck up a bunch of virtual memory.

Summary: Okay, if you are planning to stick with a fun phone that you'd want to use for about a year, its great. If you are looking for a phone with hacking capabilities and a little more complex interface...... not so much this one. This phone has been great to me, so far. It didnt stick a bulge in my pocket and didnt feel cheap. Although, at times it might have lagged but ending all the programs on the shortcut menu usually solves that. The camera was excellent. Especially when sending it in a picture message. And the video camera quality was excellent too. I had wished for a more hackable phone, especially for WiFi (I was let down) but one of the most unique things that make it stand out is the accelarometer (however you spell that). This opens up ALOT of opportunities to this phone. When you needed to put the phone on mute, all you had to do was put the phone face down on a flat surface, or when you needed to snooze on an alarm, do the same. One thing that i would have liked it to have was a slide to unlock bar. It DOES have one but it is used only to unlock the timer when the time is up. The app store is fairly useful, but isnt even a percentage of what the apple app store is like on the iphone. If you are in a mix of this or the LG VU, go with this. If you are in a mix with this or the Iphone, go with the iphone. And if you are going to buy this phone, get it at a discount retailer, like walmart, for example. Thats where all the phone review junkies get theirs.

All around good phone. Usable and reliable.
by jrob0115 on June 29, 2010

Summary: Overall, I really like this phone. I have never had an issue while using it, and the fuctionality of the phone is easy to get used used(i.e the touch screen qwerty keyboard) If one plans to use this phone for a lot of texting and frequent phone calls while not sacrificing design or "new technology" (for example, having a flip phone vs this phone)this is the phone for them. I also purchased the "newer" design, I believe is called the Mythic, after I thought I lost my phone (found it a week later) and the AT&T employee actually suggested I stick with the Solstice. It is just very reliable and practical. There are no bells and whistle, but then again, you're purchasing a phone, and sometimes carrying around a minicomputer (aka smartphones) is just not necessary.

Summary: I have had my Solstice for about 5 months and I haven't had one problem with it.The Samsung Solstice is a great phone. I expected it to not work too well for being so cheap but it works great! The battery holds a charge for a long time ( mine goes up to about 6 days without needing recharged). The touch screen works a lot better then I had expected and is VERY accurate, the only problem with it is that it can be hard to scrool down without accidently hitting something and it going to that. The Solstice is very easy to use and would be a good first phone to get. It was my first phone and I got used to it within the first day or two. It's not complicated at all. It is a very durable phone and doesn't break eaisly. Some people complain about how they drpped it and it froze or quit working. If your responsible with the phone and don't treat it like a toy then it wont break. I have actually dropped it once or twice but nothing at all happend and the screen will not crack. This phone has also never froze for me. It is very light weight and a perfect size. The camera is GREAT. I love the camera because it has so many editing options for pictures like warping, croping, rotating, adding frames and clip art, and a lot of other things. I didn't expect the camera to be so good and the pictures are very clear, the only bad thing is that I don't think the camera has a zoom, which can be annoying. The only bad thing I have really found with the phone is that it is kind of hard to text on the touch screen because the letters are small and you hit the wrong keys a lot, it does have predictive text though which is nice.Besides the keyboard being hard to text on, the Solstice is a great phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a great cheap costing phone.

Cons: none that I can think of.

Summary: I had a Motorola 3xx before I got this phone, and I have to admit that I was a bit shy about going to a touchscreen. My husband went to a Samsung Impression, which he never complained about, and believe me, thats a bit on the WOW side here. He normally always has a complaint! His phone was a bit too bulky for me with small hands, so I checked into the Samsung Solstice. After alot of agony and research, and my husbands coaxing, I decided to get it. Am I ever glad I did!
Camera is great, video also. Thats always been a point with me about a phone as this is my main picture and video machine.
The touch phone part of it has improved as I use it. Getting used to it was easy, and the first few days was a joy to explore all the features of the phone.
Love the widgets! have redone them to exactly what I want handy. Yes, it would be nice to customize it, but really everything you really need is there.
I am really pleased with this phone and have told all my friends to look into the Samsung Touch screen products. Honestly, if you are reading this, look into the touch screen phones from Samsung. You will be glad you did!
Footnote: I wasn't much of a texter before I got this phone, but since have I have started using between the qwerty and the T-9 on the phone I had to upgrade my messaging package. So, texting is really really good!

This is a nice LITTLE chair - it does lay all the way back - but it is TINY. So if you are a normal size adult - DO NOT ORDER IT. If you are shorter than average, or have a child that wants a cool chair - by all means go for it. It was a bit of a challenge to get the back on as a one person job, but eventually I got it lined up right. Not sure what I am going to do with it - but it is too expensive to return it. I guess I'll just stick it in my reading room for my "shorter" guests. Then again the cat loves it - so maybe it will become her chair.
recliner, very small, once u put it together, its loose, nice color, maybe its a child (teen) recliner
I wanted a chair to put in my master bedroom. My deco is red, black and Zebra. This was perfect. The size is not too small or too big. The only drawback is it's a little too low. The legs, which screw in are 5 inches tall. I ordered new 7 inch legs, from Sofa Leg Catalog online. It now looks FABULOUS!! I would HIGHLY recommend the purchase of this product. It was fully assembled and only needed the legs to be screwed in. I'm seriously considering purchasing another one.
Great Accent chair not "fine furniture" but easy to put together and fabric better than I expected. We think it was a great buy.

HAVERHILL — Workers at a store in Plaistow discovered files containing children involved in sexual activity on a computer left there for repairs, police said.
That discovery has led to child pornography charges against a Haverhill man, police said.
David Keith, 31, is charged with possessing and distributing child pornography.
The store workers contacted police about the files and an investigation that turned up other information led to charges, investigators said.
Besides the computer files, the federal case against Keith also relies on December 2009 report by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that was submitted to the Massachusetts State Police cyber tip line, according to documents on file at U.S. District Court in Boston.
The tip line information indicated that a computer linked to Keith's Haverhill address was likely the source of an email file that contained child pornography, court papers said.
The court papers are related to a Nov. 5 decision by U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole Jr. denying Keith's request that the court suppress certain physical evidence found by police in a 2010 search of Keith's home, as well as statements Keith made to investigators.
Keith's attorney, public defender Timothy Watkins of Boston, did not a return a phone call for this story.
The judge's decision said Keith admitted to New Hampshire investigators that the computer at the Staples store in Plaistow was his, and that he had viewed and downloaded files depicting images of children as young as 8 years old engaging in sexual activity.
Massachusetts State Police searched Keith's home on Sept. 17, 2010, after they were contacted by New Hampshire police who were investigating the Staples computer, court papers said.
The search of Keith's home "yielded incriminating information, and the defendant also made incriminating admissions after having been advised of his Miranda rights," court paperwork said.

The scenes on the floors of the Assembly and Senate today when the 2013-14 session of the Legislature convened for the swearing in of new members and the election of officers were as different as a college reunion and a chamber of commerce social mixer.
In the Senate, only one member was new the Legislature. The rest were either returning senators or people who had previously served in the Assembly. The atmosphere was one of happy familiarity, with hugs all around, even bipartisan hugs. Among those doing the hugging was Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, who was returning after an eight-year absence to represent western Ventura County's 19th Senate District. Jackson had served with a large number of her new Senate colleagues when they were in the Assembly together in the early 2000s.
Jackson was greeting so many old, familiar faces that she even stopped to give a hug to the veteran Associated Press news photographer who has covered the Capitol for decades.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Rotunda in the Assembly, 38 first-time members were taking their oaths of offices. On the floor, members were approaching each other, introducing themselves and offering handshakes. In a less august environment, they would have been wearing name tags.
The day had a particularly poignant significance for Jackson, who returned to Sacramento after having perservered against both personal and political setbacks -- a bout with breast cancer in 2006 and a nail-biting loss in her 2008 Senate campaign.
At a celebatory luncheon for supporters this afternoon, I asked her if she ever expected to be here after that 2008 defeat.
She said she learned from surviving cancer to take life "each day and step at a time. After losing in '08, it was very disappointing. I didn't close off the option, but I didn't focus on it, either."
Then the Citizens Redistricting Committee created an opportunity by drawing the 19th District, which includes most of the area she represented in the Assembly, including her base in Santa Barbara, and was also home to no incumbent senator.
"I was quite surprised that the opportunity arose," she told me.
Once it did, she embraced it with her trademark tenacity, fending off entreaties from Democratic leaders to step aside as part of deal that would have had Sen. Fran Pavley running in the 19th and former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg running as the Democratic candidate in the neighboring 27th District (in which Pavley ultimately ran and was re-elected).
"I felt very strongly that I understand this district as well as anyone, better than anyone," she said of her insistence on staying in the race.
Given what his wife had been through, Jackson's husband, Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge George Eskin, said he choked up when a choral group performing at the ceremony sang the Louis Armstrong classic, "What a Wonderful World."

The Super Bowl has taken on an outdoors-y feel. One year ago, everybody was talking about deer-antler velvet. This week, the conversation turned to ducks.
(Wheres a Lauren Tannehill rifle joke when you need one?)
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman referred to Peyton Manning, not the strongest-armed of quarterbacks, as throwing ducks, or passes that tend to float and wobble a bit.
Manning did not duck the controversy but said he did not consider it to be a mallard-y, I mean malady.
I believe it to be true as well, he said, smiling. Ive thrown a lot of yards and touchdowns with ducks.
Fox TV host and former quarterback Terry Bradshaw flew to Mannings defense, quacking, Yeah he does throw a few ducks, but who doesnt throw a few ducks?
Should Mannings famous scrimmage-line shouts of Omaha! now be referred to as duck calls?
Does this mean that receivers he does not target on a play are decoys?
If Mannings view is blocked by defenders, is he in a duck blind?
Will his errant passes be returned to the huddle by Labrador Retrievers?
Please, somebody stop me!
Two more.
Shouldnt Peytons record-setting season inspire Disney to remake its 1992 movie The Mighty Ducks?
Finally, if Peyton collects another Super Bowl ring Sunday in leading a Broncos victory, heres your headline, America:
Your welcome.
• Some 25,000 runners will be participating Sunday in the annual Life Time Miami Marathon and Half Marathon that starts and ends downtown near the Heats arena. Its Super Bowl Runday! (Sorry.)
• New Jersey has complained all week that New York is getting the credit for hosting this Super Bowl. Just for fun, the media should all agree that the dateline from the Sundays game will be: TEN MILES FROM NEW YORK.
• NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, man of the people, plans to sit outside at the Super Bowl in the freezing weather Sunday just like other fans. Well, until the photo-op is finished, at least.
• By the way, my official Super Bowl pick is Broncos, 24-20. Given my record this season, Im sorry, Denver.
• Dolphins owner Stephen Ross emphasized compatibility in the hiring of new general manager Dennis Hickey, and peace, love and harmony now flow through the clubs front office. The Dolphins traditional fight song played at games will now be replaced by a softly swaying Kumbaya.
• The NFL will reveal findings of its Dolphins Bullygate probe after the Super Bowl, and this week alleged victim Jonathan Martin and alleged bully Richie Incognito both publicly defended themselves. I love it. Two guys both playing the sympathy card, and neither of them the least bit sympathetic.
• The Miami Inferno has become the fourth team in the fledgling Ultimate Indoor Football League and will play in UMs campus arena, unless the whole darned league folds before it ever starts.
• David Stern is one day into his retirement after 30 years as NBA commissioner, and the effusive testimonials continue to pour in. Sterns greatest legacy to me? Everywhere you look you see little 7-year-olds wearing suits and headed to meetings, dreaming of being a commissioner.
• The NBA All-Star Game is in two weeks. Pretty amazing that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all were selected again and (yawn) it was, like, hardly news.
• The struggling Florida Panthers have only three games before the NHLs Winter Olympics break. Maybe while in Russia, the team can buy several standings points on the black market.
• As spring training nears, a friend of Jeffrey Lorias said the Marlins owner has adopted a less meddling, more laid-back management style. An angry Loria immediately demoted the man from friend to acquaintance.
• NASCAR has made its fourth change to its Chase for the Cup format since 2004. Popular Dale Earnhardt Jr. would have won the 2013 season title under the new format. So they finally got it right!
• UM mens and womens basketball both had lost three in a row and were around .500 entering weekend. If I were to forecast the best each could hope for in the postseason, Id be NIT-picking.
• An Omaha, Neb., woman, Molly Schuyler, ate 363 chicken wings in 30 minutes to break the world record. In an interview immediately afterward, she said, BELLLCH!
• UConns president rebuked an assistant football coach for saying in an interview, Jesus Christ should be in the center of our huddle. Would that result in a penalty for too many men on the field?
• Sentences I Never Imagined Writing (one in a series): Larry Bird in a new book says during one two-week period rehabbing a back injury he ate 10 gallons of ice cream and seven wedding cakes.
• Sports Name of Week Challenge: Thai golfer Pornanong Phatlum vs. Swiss bobsledder Beat Hefti .
• Parting thought: Tim Tebow portrays an obstetrician, a bull rider and a rock star in a T-Mobile Super Bowl ad. Tebow previously portrayed an NFL quarterback, but was unconvincing in the role.

Ford StreetKa - a new star shines over the old brand
How Ford turned StreetKa from a car into a celebrity. By Angus Jenkinson, Professor of Integrated Marketing and Branko Sain, Research Fellow in Integrated Marketing at Luton Business School.
StreetKa is a highly attractive convertible evolution of the Ford Ka. The car has been designed to convert the perception that Ford got this boring, old, fuddy-duddy image. The advertising agency Ogilvy and the PR agency Piranha Kid were appointed by Ford as partners in the journey that activated unprecedented exposure for a car, triggered substantial sales even before the launch and, most importantly started to eradicate the perception that Ford manufactures sensible family cars, but there's so many better cars out there that are more exciting.
The challenge
Ford's objective was to get rid of the well-rooted perception of its cars as dull, boring, and traditional. They developed StreetKa, a new car based on the existing Ka model. The endeavour to design a catchy, trendy and sexy car paid off. The car is the main constituent of the communications mix, it is the single most important medium and message that conveys the big overriding idea. The challenge was to leverage the idea and strong product message as smartly as possible with the trendy and fashion-conscious young community. Traditionally, they would not see the Ford brand as one that would characterise their personalities and lifestyle. The goal was to change this. Ogilvy knew conventional advertising could not achieve this. Motivated by the need for achieving top-quality results and encouraged by the WPP Partnership in practice scheme that rewards collaboration between WPP agencies, they decided to work with Piranha Kid, one of the WPP PR specialists. The collaboration designed and implemented a campaign that predominantly relied on PR.
The strategy
Ogilvy conceived the idea that young trendy people follow very closely the lives of celebrities, identify with them and imitate their image. The big idea was to turn StreetKa from a car to a celebrity. Ogilvy and Piranha Kid approached the challenge redefining the role of 'agency' into that of 'agent'. They opted to include two fundamental ingredients in their strategy: association and exclusivity. Just like a raising star on the jet-set circuit wants to be seen and photographed with the trendiest people of the moment, so StreetKa needed to be endorsed by the most popular celebrities. They selected the pop singer Kaylie Minogue and the celebrity fashion designer Julien MacDonald. This is how Ogilvy explain their choice:
Why Kylie?
She is the star with the biggest capacity to generate headlines. She has universal appeal – male, female, gay or straight. She epitomises the sassy glamour and sex appeal that we wanted to capture for Streetka. Also as luck would have it she had a 39-date European Tour, which suited our timing. There was no one bigger at the end of 2001 than her. Rarely off the front pages she was crowned 'The Princess of Pop' and was number one in every country across Europe, with both her album 'Fever' and its record-selling single 'Can't get you out of my head'.
Why Julien MacDonald?
He is the darling of the fashion world. A daring and media savvy designer who had just been appointed head designer at Givenchy. Fated as the successor to Versace his star was in the ascendant. He specialises in the kind of sexy glamour that Streetka's all about. Partnership with him would guarantee us column inches.
However, as a media savvy celebrity, StreetKa had to avoid the damaging effects of over-exposure. Well-planned activities, implemented in most prestigious settings and with accurate timing were the key.
The 3 steps to stardom
The implementation consisted of three major steps, or as Ogilvy put it: The frisson of anticipation, Tease and tantalise, and Where fantasy meets reality. The Ogilvy and Piranha Kid internal 'WPP Partnership in practice nomination application' outlines these phases:
Phase one, summer 2002: The frisson of anticipation Four PR shots of Kylie with the car, taken by Bruno Bisang, formed the basis of the press release in March 2002 announcing the collaboration with Kylie. Sponsorship of Kylie's European tour during the following summer, a year before the official on sale date, was designed to leave our target audience breathless with anticipation. The culmination was for Kylie to unveil the car at the press launch at the Paris Auto Show in September, signing the bonnet for the benefit of the amassed cameras.
Phase two, autumn 2002: Tease and tantalise October brought Julien MacDonald's spring/summer show at London's Grosvenor House. Centre stage was Streetka customised by Julien himself in the style of his 'Super-Paradise' show and encrusted with $1m worth of diamonds on loan from De Beers. The show was the highlight of London fashion week, the only one to be attended by Anna Wintour (American Vogue). Streetka was a star of the show, drawing attention of all the movers and shakers in the industry. His autumn/winter show in February 2003 caused no less of a stir as once again Streetka took to the stage, this time with modelling sensation Elizabeth Jagger at the wheel. Phase three, spring 2003: Where fantasy meets reality Now that the car is on sale, phase three is kicking in. Our aim is to move Streetka further into mainstream consciousness, whilst maintaining its cachet and desirability. Planned activity will build on our foundations in fashion and music and will include sexy lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, hair stylists Toni & Guy, legendary fashion photographer David LaChappelle and London's Mardi Gras.
The association of the three stars, StreetKa - Kylie – Julien, reached more than 50 million opportunities to see (OTS). 50% of the press coverage was in lifestyle rather than traditional automotive publications, which is unprecedented for a Ford car. Ford's media influence index rose by 25% in the UK.5 Brand tracking studies revealed the difference of opinion between StreetKa aware and StreetKa unaware women aged 25-34 (primary target audience):
As a control comparative analysis with Germany, who did not leverage the Kylie relationship as much as the UK, achieved lower scores overall.
The perception of the Ford brand also changed in the minds of the target community. From non-exciting, boring, old they found Ford StreetKa as fashionable and sexy. Ford have reached a new audience. The 1000 First Edition StreetKas (one third of the total production forecast for the whole of 2003) were sold within 3 weeks of the end of the UK Motorshow in October 2002, well before the official on-sale date of March 2003. Ogilvy, Ford and Piranha have shared knowledge and learning. Ford now considers lifestyle PR a key component of their marketing mix. This has generated additional business for Piranha Kid. (SportKa, Fusion+, Fiesta, and Focus). The success also created a new sense of pride and confidence within Ford, and the two agencies. To date we have still yet to run a paid for commercial or press campaign.
Executive takeaway
The Integrated Marketing learning points from this case are multiple. The Communications optimisation concept of any discipline in any medium for any objective have been proved effective. The marketing communications objective of idea forming has been achieved though lifestyle PR and not through advertising. The second learning point is around the concept of convergence of products service and communication. Here the product was designed as a piece of communication that had to change the perception of the brand as a whole: the car as a celebrity. The product is of a service to the target community and it communicates a message about the brand. To prove the point, StreetKa's sales are not profitable and the whole project is seen as a marketing (communications) investment. The third point consists of the exemplar of client-agency-agency partnership model. The three parties realised that they will achieve a breakthrough only via a collaborative partnership. This consciousness is accompanying their work to date and besides successful marketing communications, it is ensuring that every participant is encouraged to release their creative potential.

SWINDON TOWN 3 SHREWSBURY TOWN 1: Full-time report
TWO goals in the final four minutes helped Swindon Town to a valuable 3-1 victory over Shrewsbury Town at the County Ground this afternoon.
Nile Ranger came off the bench to restore Swindon's lead in the 89th minute, after Paul Parry had cancelled out Michael Smith's opener in the first half, before Smith added a second on debut in stoppage time to help his new side claim all three points.
Town manager Mark Cooper made two changes to his starting line-up handing Smith a full debut in place of Ranger, who had been struggling during the week with illness. Ranger dropped to the bench, where he was joined by latest signing Jamie Reckord. Nathan Byrne replaced the injured Grant Hall and joined Smith and Alex Pritchard in a front three.
Smith took just half an hour to open his Swindon account. Pritchard and Yaser Kasim worked a short free-kick on the right and when Kasim eventually got the ball across goal Smith was on hand to hook a bouncing ball past Chris Weale in the Shrewsbury goal.
Despite having only a small share of the possession in the opening period, the Shrews were not being outplayed and when they restored parity with a minute to go until the break it was well deserved.
Raphael Branco was penalised from bringing down Jon Taylor on the edge of the box and Parry lashed the resulting set-piece past Foderingham.
Asa Hall headed against the crossbar in the 62nd minute and Parry saw another ferocious effort pushed onto a post by Foderingham five minutes later as Shrewsbury enjoyed the better of the chances after half-time.
But in the end Swindon stole all three points late on as Ranger rose highest to nod home from close range after Weale failed to properly clear a Pritchard corner.

Local emergency responders, who kept watch throughout the holiday, couldn't help but think about their fallen brothers in Upstate New York and lessons they could learn from Monday's tragedy.
As flames engulfed homes in Webster, firefighters answering the call of duty were ambushed.
The news was devastating for other first responders, whose bonds reach far beyond the locality they serve. Captain Jim Mellon with Henrico Fire works about 500 miles from where two of his brother firefighters were shot and killed.
"We're the people that come out to help," he said. "Most of the men and women in the fire service spend their lives helping others and when we become the victim it's heartbreaking."
What happened in New York will most likely be in the front of local firefighters' minds as they respond to scenes in the future.
The problem is, explains Hanover Battalion Chief Larry Snyder, a gunman setting a trap to lure in and take out firefighters, is something no one would predict.
"To have that level of intent from somebody to hurt somebody else, especially in our profession, I don't think anybody would ever expect that," he said.
But they do expect certain threats when arriving on scene. Many local departments work with police to understand who lives where.
"In the past when we've experienced difficult working environments or hostile working environments or potentially unsafe through our law enforcement and our communication officers, we've flagged different things of 'we've had a previous issue at this residence,'" Snyder added.
Now, eliminating tunnel vision seems even more important.
"When we roll up to a house fire we train our people to observe the surroundings and have some sort of situational awareness," Mellon emphasized.

NJIT Professor, Andover Township Resident, Receives Career Award from National Science Foundation
A young professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is doing research that could help stroke victims recover their vision.
"When people have strokes, we think of their losing limb mobility but a similar loss can affect the eye muscles, causing what is known as visual field neglect," said Tara Alvarez, Ph.D., of Andover Township, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT. "A person with visual field neglect who looks at a clock may only see the numbers on one side of the clock, such as one through six. To this person, the rest of the clock does not exist. A better understanding of motor control can give these people the tools to re-learn the lost visual skill."
Alvarez's neuroscience research will not only help stroke victims but also lead to diagnosis of other visual diseases. The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded Alvarez an NSF Career award. She will receive the $400,000 grant over five years. The prestigious career award recognizes teacher-scholars most likely to become the academic leaders of the 21st century.
The journal Vision Research will publish her research, "Divergence Eye Movements are Dependent on Initial Stimulus Position," in an upcoming 2005 issue.
Alvarez seeks to understand how the brain learns when visually locating objects in three-dimensional (3D) space. Understanding the learning strategies that the human brain uses to control eye movement will also yield insight into the general problem of motor learning. Her research will lead to a better understanding of basic motor control and also discover how dysfunctions in the eyes' three-dimensional tracking system affect motor learning. Motor learning refers to the way the brain learns by altering the control of human movement.
Alvarez's research will help people with a visual problem called convergence insufficiency, or the inability to easily fixate the eyes on a near target. A person with convergence insufficiency cannot read or look at a computer screen for more than twenty minutes without getting headaches as well as blurred and double vision. The condition has also been linked to learning disabilities. And as societies become more dependent on prolonged and close-up visual tasks such as computer use, there will be more of a need to help people with such vision problems. Alvarez's research can lead to visual therapies and exercises that will help these people focus and read for longer periods.
Alvarez will use new technologies to conduct vision experiments on patients. One such technology is a signal processing technique known as Independent Component Analysis (ICA). The ICA technique will reveal the components of the eyes' depth control system.
She'll also use a powerful new tool known as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to study the locations of the brain used to control and change eye movements. Patients will be given visual tasks that call upon certain parts of the brain; the two new tools will illustrate which parts of the brain are used for each task.
Alvarez will use part of her NSF grant to enhance the Vision and Neural Engineering Laboratory at NJIT. She'll also design new courses for undergraduates in NJIT's expanding biomedical engineering program. She is also developing a one-week course for NJIT's pre-college FEMME program, which teaches grade-school girls, most of whom are minorities, the fundamentals of science, technology and pre-engineering concepts.
NJIT is not the only school that will benefit from Alvarez's NSF-sponsored research. She is developing a program to instruct local high-school teachers in the concepts of biomedical engineering. She hopes the training will help increase the number of minorities and women in the field of engineering.
Alvarez has published ten papers including "The Proview Phosphene Tonometer Fails to Measure Ocular Pressure Accurately in Clinical Practice," in the June 2004 issue of Ophthalmology.
She received a bachelor's in electrical engineering and both a master's and a doctorate in biomedical engineering from Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

Historically cold temperatures continued to wreak havoc on the Metra rail system around Chicago Monday night as dozens of train runs were cancelled.
By 3:30 p.m. Monday, Metra had already begun to cancel trains out of the downtown Ogilvie Transportation Center for the evening commute.
Milwaukee District-North Line trains 2125 and 2127 were not operating Monday night, and all other trains on the line were running at least 20 minutes behind schedule as of 5 p.m., according to Metra's website. Metra Electric Train 33 service was also cancelled.
On the Union Pacific-West Line, trains 2225, 2241 and 56 were not running. Trains 41, 43, 51, 53, 55, 59 and 60 had been proactively "annulled" and will not run this evening, the agency said.
On the Union-Pacific North Line, trains 331, 337, 345, 347, 349 and 353 were cancelled, in addition to the inbound 346, 350 and 354.
Union-Pacific Northwest Line trains 623, 237, 635, 637, 643, 651 and the inbound 850 were also cancelled, according to Metra's website.
The agency urged riders to check their website for updates as trains operated on adjusted schedules with the severe weather.
The delays rounded out a day chocked full of issues for Metra riders and officials.
Multiple people were injured when a Metra train clipped a semi truck in north suburban Niles, just one of a series of incidents on Metra trains Monday morning.
The inbound Milwaukee North Line train clipped a semi about 6 a.m. on the Milwaukee District North Line near the Edgebrook station in Niles, Metra spokesman Tom Miller said.
Three people were hospitalized with minor injuries, according to Metra spokesman Michael Gillis.
The intersection of Touhy and Lehigh, where the crash occurred, will be closed for repairs through late Monday, according to Niles police.
A few hours later, a Metra Rock Island District train struck a bumping post at the LaSalle Street Station in the 400 block of South LaSalle Street at 8:46 a.m., according to Metra.
Five ambulances were sent to the scene and firefighters were checking out the train's passengers, according to Fire Media Affairs. The train did not derail.

Vives Becomes the Third @FGCU_MTEN Player to Earn #ASunMTEN Weekly Honor
MACON, Ga. – Sophomore Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada/USC) became the third FGCU men's tennis player this spring to be named the Atlantic Sun Player of the Week on Wednesday after posting a perfect weekend against UCF and UConn.
Vives joins teammates Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS) and Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS) to give the Eagles three of the league's five A-Sun weekly honors this spring.
A native of Barcelona, Spain, Vives went 2-0 at No. 1 singles over the weekend, surrendering just eight games over his final four sets. He opened the two-match weekend with a comeback three-set victory over UCF's Jorge Blasco, who had won three straight entering the match. Vives picked up his second win of the weekend with a straight-set 6-2, 6-1 win over Wayne Harrell of UConn.
Vives combined with senior Jackson Moore (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch HS/Georgia State) to also go 2-0 at top doubles. FGCU earned the doubles point in both matches aided by Vives and Moore's 8-3 and 8-4 wins against the Knights and Huskies' top doubles tandems, respectively.
FGCU is out to a 3-4 start to its championship season and will host BIG XII foe Oklahoma State (5-2) on Saturday at 5 p.m. In-match updates can be found by following the team on twitter @FGCU_MTEN.

A Belcamp man with dementia is in stable condition at Harford Memorial Hospital after police found him lying in a stream Wednesday night.
A caregiver reported dementia patient Garey E. Folley, 67, missing at 8 p.m., said Edward Hopkins, spokesman for the Harford County Sheriff's Office.
Witnesses said they saw Folley, who lives on the 200 block of Golden Eagle Way, walking out of the Belcamp neighborhood at approximately 7:30 p.m., according to a statement from the sheriff's office.
After a search of the area produced no results, officers called in a bloodhound and a helicopter. The Baltimore County Police Aviation Team responded and was able to locate Folley using thermal imaging, or an infrared system, said the sheriff's office. The Baltimore County team "almost immediately picked up the victim's heat signature," Hopkins said, which led officials on the ground to the missing man.
Folley was lying in a stream in a wooded area near his home and was in stable condition when authorities found him around 8:30 p.m., Hopkins said.
Temperatures were in the 30s Wednesday night, and Folley was soaking wet and suffering from the cold, Hopkins said. The Abindgon Volunteer Fire Company treated Folley at the scene before he was taken by ambulance to Harford Memorial Hospital, according to the sheriff's office.

New Hanover County Health Department Offering Flu Shots
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 30 October 2013 20:23
- Written by Super User
NEW HANOVER CTY - With flu cases already appearing in our state, N.C. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos is encouraging all North Carolinians to protect themselves by getting the flu vaccine. While it is too soon to tell how severe this year's influenza season will be, public health experts see recent events as a good opportunity to remind people how important it is to take precautions.
The New Hanover County Health Department is offering flu shots through October 25th from 8:15am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday at 2029 S. 17th Street in Wilmington.
Please bring a photo ID and insurance card. They will bill all major insurance, Medicare, Medicaid or you can self-pay. They also have high dose vaccines for those 65 or older.
Call 910-798-6646 to schedule your appointment.
If you plan to self-pay, the cost at the New Hanover County Health Department for the regular shot is $45. For the high dose, the cost is $60. For a mist vaccine, the cost is $55. They also offer a pneumonia shot for $100.
If you plan to self-pay, the regular shot at CVS Pharmacy at 6435 Carolina Beach Road is $31. The high dose is $49.99. No appointment required and they accept insurance. When you go in for your shot, they give you a 20% off shopping pass.
At Walgreens in Carolina Beach the cost to self-pay without insurance is $31.99 for the regular shot.
"Several H1N1 cases recently reported in our state serve as a good reminder that it's not too early to be vaccinated," Dr. Wos said. "Even healthy people can get very sick if they get the flu and nobody wants to be out of work or school for an extended period. It's important to remember that we all can help keep our co-workers and our families healthy by being vaccinated."
DHHS recently implemented a mandatory flu vaccine policy for its 14 state-operated healthcare facilities. This measure is intended to curb the spread of flu among staff, residents, patients, volunteers and their families and close contacts. DHHS has distributed nearly 200,000 doses of vaccine thus far to local health departments and health care providers to immunize children eligible for the Vaccines for Children Program, as well as certain uninsured adults who qualify for state-supplied vaccine. In addition to state-supplied vaccine, many employers, local community organizations and pharmacies offer or sponsor flu clinics. Most insurance plans and Medicaid cover flu vaccinations.
This year's vaccine protects against the strains of flu that are expected to circulate this year, including H1N1. Vaccination is available in nasal spray and shot form.
Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses External link. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The safest, most effective way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that everyone 6 months and older get their yearly flu vaccine.
In addition to vaccination, DHHS encourages everyone to use personal precautions to protect against the spread of flu and other viruses:
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue and then discard the tissue promptly.
• Wash hands frequently, preferably with soap and water or an approved hand sanitizer.
• Stay home when you are sick until you are fever free for at least 24 hours.
For more information on flu and to find out where you can get a flu vaccination in your community, visit www.flu.nc.gov.
The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), so you cannot get the flu from a flu shot. Some minor side effects that could occur are:
• Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
• Fever (low grade)
• Aches
If these problems occur, they usually begin soon after the shot and last one to two days.
The nasal spray (also called LAIV or FluMist®): The viruses in the nasal-spray vaccine are weakened and do not cause severe symptoms often associated with influenza illness. (In clinical studies, transmission of vaccine viruses to close contacts has occurred only rarely.) In children, side effects from LAIV (FluMist®) can include:
• runny nose
• wheezing
• headache
• vomiting
• muscle aches
• fever
In adults, side effects from LAIV (FluMist®) can include
• runny nose
• headache
• sore throat
• cough

Recently Crossway's homeschool book reviewers looked at Treasuring God in Our Traditions by Noel Piper.
As one reviewer said, "Noel Piper's book Treasuring God in Our Traditions has a lot of inspiration and heart to offer its readers. She reveals the layers of our traditions and gives us a goal of applying our Christian faith through these well-planned efforts that last a lifetime."
Other comments from the reviewers:
"Noël Piper opens her home to you—more than thirty years of marriage and mothering. She invites you into the happy, imperfect Piper pattern of life (including a few family-occasion poems written by her husband, John). But, even better, she roots things in the Bible."
"Treasuring God in Our Traditions by Noel Piper is a time-honored book that helps us direct our children to delight in God through establishing family traditions."
"This book has really opened my eyes to see how fun and encouraging it can be to train up a child to understand and desire a relationship with God."

In hindsight, this game mathematically meant little: Thanks to the week 5 blowout induced by Barça, CSKA faced the nigh-impossible task of winning by 22 points against the EL-undefeated Spanish side. Revenge blowout or no, however, it was quickly obvious that both teams came unwilling to go into the 'League break with a loss.
And so going into the fourth quarter, CSKA faced its first true crunch-time test since October. As per BallinEurope tradition, BiE reports Teodosic's stat line through the first 30 minutes as a bit of a mixed bag: 3-of-4 overall shooting, five rebounds, three steals and five TOs.
Messina sat his starting point guard for the fourth quarter's first 6½ minutes; despite a couple bursts of nifty transition ball by CSKA, with 3:32 remaining and Ante Tomic sinking two free throws, the Red Army had fallen a point further behind since the fourth-quarter opening.
Then in came Milos. Continue Reading…

Remembering birthdays, addresses, and phone numbers is easy. I just have them plugged into my phone.
But remember when you had to actually pick up a dictionary or encyclopedia to find information? (Even those bulky Encyclopedia Britannica books are now online.)
All the information you usually need -- for better or worse -- is at your fingertips, making memorization almost a lost art.
But Clive Thompson, author of "Smarter Than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds For the Better," argues that digging up information online has in some cases expanded peoples' conversations.
"It may be true that there is a small amount of mental laziness that can build up, but it's more than offset by the new conversations we can have built off the new facts we can access," he says.

Businesses need to do emergency planning to ensure that they stay in business regardless of what may occur. Most business leaders already do some emergency planning. They understand that a fire could damage or destroy their facilities or dangerous conditions could injure employees. That's a good start. But all businesses, large or small, need to go beyond conventional risk management.
Continuity of operations, or COOP, planning helps business leaders protect their organizations against any kind of disaster. This approach involves consideration of ways to protect your employees, records and sources of supply, in addition to facilities.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has developed a variety of publications to assist business leaders in emergency planning. That material is available at the following site: Ready Business.
