It was a bad moment. I felt like "PC Guy" from the "Get a Mac" commercial was trying to sell me an Apple product. It gave me the heebie-jeebies.
It all started when I checked my email and found an email from Apple with a subject line that said, "The new Mac Pro. Now with 8 cores standard."
Like many email users, I don't automatically enable HTML images. So, I have to click to allow the images to be shown. The result: The Apple email looks like a fancy design of gray and black with absolutely nothing there.
The subject line ("The new Mac Pro. Now with 8 cores standard.") means nothing to me. How is that a benefit? It certainly doesn't excite me enough to explore further, but since I'm an Apple fan, let's say I decide to keep going.
When I did finally enable the image, I see the computer tower…
The call to action above the fold is "Configure now." Wow, that's really exciting!
I'm a Humanistic type (as opposed to Spontaneous, Competitive, or Methodical), so the word "configure" holds no scent for me — it sounds like something really technical you do with a graphing calculator. No thanks.
But for argument's sake, let's say I'm curious enough to continue and see this landing page:
Could they possibly use more techno-speak? There isn't a word here of that wonderful, personal, easy-to-understand Apple language.
If this were designed for Methodical types, I'd give it high marks. Even if she didn't have her images enabled, the Methodical customer might scroll down and see there was indeed some text in the email. She would probably like the word "configure" and appreciate all those wonderful technical specs, and a subject line like, "Now with 8 cores standard."
But for the other types, this scenario bombs.
Spontaneous customers who don't have images enabled on their email will likely not even open it with that subject line, and if they see nothing but a black and gray design with nothing in it, they're gone.
Humanistics won't often get past that subject line, either. Where's the wonderful everyday language and engaging images? I'd like to see that nice guy from the TV commercials telling me why this new Mac Pro would be great for me. I bet he could do a good job of putting it into plain English and making me feel good about the product.
Competitives might like the subject line, but they want benefits, not features. How will this help them do more, be better, have a superior computer to what they have today? They also will bail if they don't have images enabled. They are almost as impatient as the Spontaneous folks. Here's the sad thing: There's actually great copy for Competitives like, "Once reserved for the top of the line, 8-core processing power is now at the heart of the Mac Pro." Same feature, but delivered in a benefit-oriented fashion Competitives would love — yet it's below the fold where, unlike the Methodical customer, they may not scroll to see it (they're much too fast-paced).
Bottom line: The whole scenario feels like it was designed by that "PC guy." I want my Mac guy back.

Hi Holly,
I enjoy reading your posts on a regular basis. I'm not sure I agree with the premise behind your assessment above.
First, this is a new product release so even in the email they might be trying to "unleash" the exposure to the CPU by using an image only. You see nothing. You download the image. Voila!
Second, I feel that Apple's scenario was never designed for your archetype to begin with. You and I and other known mortals probably don't have the need for an 8-core CPU! Folks who are going to slap out their wallets for this product are high-end scientific computing users. To them, "Configure" is a perfect call to action. After all, you can't say "Stylize Now!" to the scientific community. Also note that the Call to action for MacBook on apple.com says "Select".
But if I were a marketer for Apple, I would still duly note how the announcement made you feel….
I have to laugh a little. My editor Robert called me out on the exact same point you just did when he was editing the post.
Yes – this is probably not aimed at me or many of Apple's other humanistic customers. You are absolutely right about that.
As I pointed out – I think they do a good job with methodicals, or as you put it – more "high-end scientiific users."
But it's still Apple – not Dell. I think they can still talk to the computer geeks, but maintain their Apple "voice." They do have some great copy for the more "logical" type – but it's buried.
By moving some of that copy higher up and perhaps having it in the email subject line – they could still be speaking to the "high-end scientific" community, but doing it in Apple's voice.
I'm sure Robert will appreciate you proving him right
To say that Holly's not the archetype — or "persona," as it were — is an understatement. (We love ya, Holly, but you & high-end technology? Not so much… ) Still, I think she makes a point in terms of this scenario (email-to-landing-page) being too heavily geared toward people in Methodical mode.
Personally, I think this is the type of machine that makes certain arty Humanistic types (like me, but different) switch into Methodical mode — fast. Do they want to "configure" something? I'm not sure, but it's worth us thinking about critically.
So (in that spirit) I don't think it's mostly "scientific computing users" who'll be drooling over the new Mac Pro. From what I've seen with every Mac Pro release is that it's Web/industrial designers, Web developers, filmmakers/editors, and music producers who are going to the landing page right now to price out their dream box, regardless of whether they'll ever end up buying it. Those are the people who are using RAM-draining Audio/Video applications, and they're the ones who want ridiculous amounts of built-in storage capacity.
You're right, though; this computer isn't meant for most of us mortals living in the year 2008. Still, somewhere, at this exact moment, some film editor is looking at this landing page and wondering how much he can inflate the budget on his next project in order to score one. Meanwhile, there's a hacker custom PC fanatic whose arguing in a message board forum about how "ghey" (their word) this computer is and how they could build a liquid-cooled, terabyte-crunching beast that would destroy the Mac Pro in some sort of imaginary montage from the movie Tron.
So… (and sorry this is a bit elliptical) I think there should be some more benefit-oriented language snuck in there, and earlier on. This is all specs and no mojo until you get further down the page.
Regardless, Apple's done the hardest part: They've made an amazing product that's sure to inspire geeks and gawkers, and should help sell some lower-end products in the meantime.
I think you point out something important here. Whether or not they were trying to reach the more 'high end techies', they are still missing out on speaking to the different personalty types. After all, the world of 'high-end techies' will include various personalty types (even though they might primarily be methodicals).
When an email campaign, pay-per-click campaign or banner ad is created, are you only speaking to one personality type? You can appeal to various types within a single piece of marketing.
When I tell a client to write a specific page that speaks to the Competitive and Methodical, they always come back asking how they can write for the different types on one single page. Persuasion Architecture helps them accomplish this.
Hi guys,
Holly is a mac fan and probably a customer too, so she's right! And her perspective is from a customer's.
Robert, I agree with various types of users you identified. I used the scientific community as an example.
Now, the thing that comes out is, was Holly the correct target to receive the email?
Should apple have done a more generic and less techie email to intro this product?
I'd be curious to see how they could appeal to various temperaments in the same piece. In my experience, attempting to appeal to all dilutes the effect, especially in an email, where the attention span is shorter.
Perhaps a marketer from Apple is reading this conversation and would be willing to chime in…
I was going to say just what Sayam said, because I am a Spontaneous and I am in the market for that exact product and I received that e-mail and went to their site. Their main selling point was that you can configure it exactly as you want, so I do feel it was a good call to action being used.
I am with Tom and Sayam. My first reaction was to go to the site to make sure that MY MacPro wasn't obsolete already.
Your average user doesn't shell out the moola for a MacPro unless you NEED power or you are just a geek.
The message or and voice were right on for me but Holly should be spoken to by the "MacGuy". He is a little too whimpy for US but just right for my "mother" (who has a iMac).
I'd just point out… and maybe I'm stating the obvious here but… shouldn't apple know enough about holly as a customer… that they would avoid sending something like this to her in the first place? I mean… purchase history… profile on apple.com… something???
It seems to me that this is more of a glaring targeting error FIRST. Something as niche as an 8-core processor MAC really has no business in 75% of the inboxes on the planet. Maybe more.
I bet with targets like Holly in their file.. this email had "less than stellar" performance.
I'm going to agree with Bill–I think Apple made the mistake of sending this particular email to Holly. Tom, Sayam, I see your point, but it doesn't change the fact that Apple sent a completely irrelevant email to Holly (and probably a lot of other customers for that matter)
Irrelevant leads to confusion and disinterest(Holly + other). Given its size, and what I'm sure is not a modest marketing budget at all, it shouldn't be hard for Apple to segment out those customers who would love this product, and leave out those who have no interest. It can still send this 'announcement' to other customers, but word it differently, or have it as a secondary item in the email.
"I'd just point out… and maybe I'm stating the obvious here but… shouldn't apple know enough about holly as a customer… that they would avoid sending something like this to her in the first place? I mean… purchase history… profile on apple.com… something???"
How? Just because Apple has your e-mail address, doesn't mean you've purchased from them. It doesn't mean they have anything more than your e-mail address. For the cost of sending the e-mail versus the profit made on each machine, it's probably a sensible choice to send the e-mail over not because they *might* not be a high-end user.
Tom– even with a simple, middle market email marketing tool, marketers are able to track and analyze data which can tell them who their customers are, and provide enough information to loosely divide them into targeted segments. Furthermore by building a preference center, Apple could enable customers/subscribers to choose areas/products of interest to them. Surely Apple has the budget and resources to do this properly and accurately.
I'd love to hear from Apple about the "hows and whys" of this campaign.
If I were not a marketer, I would not have opened that email based on the subject line. It was just so "un-apple" like, that as a marketer, I clicked through to see what was up.
It could be that Apple did that on purpose – used language specifically to discourage those who would not be interested in the product from clicking through. I don't know.
What I find really interesting about some of the comments is why those who were interested in the product did click through – why that language did speak to them. It seems there was something for the methodical, the competitive and the spontaneous. Interesting insight. I hope Apple is listening.
[...] Buchanan has an entertaining critique on a recent email from Apple Computer, from subject line to images and content. An apple with 8 [...]
I'm not a Mac guy – never have been – but I follow their marketing because I do find their products and marketing approach interesting, and probably pretty damn effective. Obviously they're doing something right with their hordes of rabid followers.
I work in a company that's got a design room full of various Macs; the designers seem to always be having some 'issue' with them that is replaced by a new 'issue' once the original one is resolved. And when I ask what it's about, the problems are usually more hairball-y (is that a word?) than any PC issues I've run into over the past couple of years. In other words, to my mind a Mac is as problem-free as a typical PC. Or worse. Yikes.
Having said that, the whole PC guy vs. Mac advertising campaign just makes me want to turn the TV off, it's so annoying.
And the whole 'techno-speak' doesn't do much for me either, and here's why. I'd love to get the fastest computer I can afford with the biggest RAM and loudest hard-drive, etc., but as far as the computing world has come in the past ten years the increase in numbers is really insignificant to any buying decision I would make. I already KNOW they're probably gonna kick a– and be faster than my current set-up.
Having seen them up close, I just find Macs over priced and as full of problems as a PC. And don't get me started on the amount of software titles available for a Mac vs. a PC. So far none of the marketing I've seen or the experience I've had has convinced me that a Mac is worth twice what a PC is worth – which is about what they cost.
Last thought: I have a new PC with Windows Vista at my workplace and to me, it's about the same as my 4-year old home PC with XP – with one major difference: I can't record audio from the 'stereo mix' on Vista like I can at home, so I doubt I'll want to upgrade there.
Oh yeah, it is a bit faster…a little bit…
What two words are one of the most important parts of any e-mail marketing campaign and would have prevented this entire issue? segmented list
Segmented lists are for sure the way to go, I use them on a daily basis for my business's email campaigns.
It's like a server
I'd love to hear from Apple about the "hows and whys" of this campaign.
Mac seems to expensive… everyone can get better computer in half price.
If I need computer, I prefer to build it myself by buying the hardware separately…
Laptop Information
I was going to say just what Sayam said, because I am a Spontaneous and I am in the market for that exact product and I received that e-mail and went to their site. Their main selling point was that you can configure it exactly as you want, so I do feel it was a good call to action being used.
The marketing strategy of Apple changes drastically year after year. This is obviously tailored towards power users and technicians rather than ordinary people. At the same time, knowledgeable people get frustrated when a website doesn't give enough technical details. There needs to be a balance.

text: Why Argo, Lincoln beat Zero Dark Thirty's odds by Joel B. Pollak 24 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: Presidential leadership is a prominent theme at this year's Oscars--and a lacking theme in American politics today. Three contenders for the Oscar provide an alternative: Lincoln, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty (Obama). Each was written with a view to current (Democratic) politics. Tony Kushner wrote Lincoln to support Obama's ideological push against the Reagan revolution; Argo is an attempt to rewrite history's view of the inept Jimmy Carter's conduct during the Iran hostage crisis; and Zero Dark Thirty was long suspected of being an election-year promotion for Obama (whose White House may have shared information with the filmmakers for precisely that reason). Yet only the first two are considered in the running, because Zero Dark Thirty appears to take the position that torture was necessary to obtain clues leading to Osama bin Laden. In other words, Zero Dark Thirty celebrates the most important achievement of the Obama administration--but not Obama's approach to terror in general. The president opposed both the Iraq War and the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques," both of which did produce essential intelligence leading to bin Laden. So Zero Dark Thirty simply won't do, to many Hollywood insiders. Fans may have to wait for a remake, in which the problematic aspects of interrogation will give way to profiles of courage from the Situation Room.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I needed to get some misdemeanor convictions removed from my record as they were preventing me from clearing a background check for employment. The problem was that I was still on probation and three lawyers that I had spoken with told me that, although there was early termination of probation in California, I had not completed a sufficient amount of my sentence for a judge to consider such a motion. After speaking with David Boertje, although we had no guarantee of success, I felt that I had the best possible chance of having my record cleared. He explained the process to me, expedited the filings so we could get the earliest possible court date and even took time during his vacation with his family on Fourth of July weekend to speak with me about our case that was coming up the next week. Not only was David successful, (the judge granted both motions) he made me feel as comfortable as possible through the entire process, giving me realistic expectations and understanding and addressing my concerns.
I would recommend David Boertje to anyone who needed help with Criminal Defense or related motions in San Diego. He is a true advocate and partner and got results that others said were impossible.
Mr. Boertje is amazing.
I had gotten a letter the day before I had an arraignment, I googled San Diego Criminal Lawyers, he was the first name that came up and I did some research. I called him, he took my case immediately and went to my arraignment for me the next day. Since I am located out of state, he got it rescheduled for a date that worked for me to commute back and forth. His fee was reasonable and he worked out a great payment plan with me. My case is now finished and I only had to go to jail for a book and release. Still horrible, but absolutely necessary. I ended up taking a plea and all I have to do is do 40 hours of community service.
He is very kind and caring and not at all what you think of when you think of a criminal defense attorney. His staff is amazing as well. Kamron is awesome and so is the receptionist (I forget her name) but everyone is just amazing. I was so scared and freaked out but Mr. Boertje explained everything to me and put me completely at ease. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I would insist that everyone who is faced with a criminal case to call David Boertje.
Amazing Lawyer! Got DUI with .24 dropped to a wet/reckless. Always let me know what was going on and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Mr. David Boertje and his paralegal Ms. Kamron Diaz made me feel immediately at ease when I first approached them in the representation of my "under the influence of a controlled substance" case. The retainer was reasonable and affordable, and much less than many other defense attorneys. He attended all of the pre-trial hearings for me, allowing me to continue with my daily routine. He always kept me well informed of each hearing's outcome as well as the subsequent steps in the process. Once he received and reviewed a copy of the police report, he recognized the police officers conducted a flawed arrest, and filed a motion to suppress evidence. At this hearing, Mr. Boertje's legal acumen and thorough preparation was displayed through both his pragmatic questioning of the officers and substantiated arguments made before the judge. The judge had no other choice but to rule in our favor to suppress evidence, resulting in a complete dismissal of the case by the prosecution.
Thanks David and Kamron for all of your hard work and help!!!
I needed a lawyer to go into court for me to have all my community service and dui classes transferred to another county and they made it happen. Kamron, David's partner/assistant, was the one communicating with me. She was very informative, responded to my calls and e-mails at a very quick manner and time, and was always keeping me updated and making sure everything went smoothly. They were more helpful then any of the legal programs in San Diego could be put together!
David is honest and conscientious. I've known him and worked with David and his staff for several years, and trust him, implicitly. He's also an excellent trial attorney, and truly cares about his clients. Very hard working, and has an excellent support staff. Bottom line: If I ever needed assistance, David is the first person I would call.
David Boertje is a great lawyer. He was not only professional and set my mind at ease but he immediately had me feeling confident that I was going to win my case. He was well prepared and made the prosecution seem like it was their first case. He immediately noticed a mistake on the prosecution's case and had the charge thrown out. The prosecutor argued and the judge actually went to his chambers to review if the prosecutor made a mistake. The judge came back within 5min and ruled that the Prosecutor was at fault and the charge was thrown out. I could not believe how quickly he got the charge dismissed which made for one super happy client and one very upset prosecutor. If you want to hire an experienced, well rounded, and prepared lawyer hire David Doertje. I felt like I had the dream team in my corner. He was great!!
David is quite a unique type of Attorney in CA in that he is honest with you. He tells you like it is and then guides you in the best possible way. He is a very personable chap. In fact when you meet David and look at his face in person you can instinctively tell that he is an honest man and a good attorney. I hired him on the spot. He is also very reasonably priced. Although I paid him all the money upfront I believe that he has a payment plan for those of you who cannot afford to pay him upfront. It is apparently a very good payment plan too.
As far as his office is concerned Kamron is an exceptional person and we share the same birthday which is kind of cool. She is very approachable and easy to communicate with.
Overall I would say that David is a very good Criminal Defense Attorney. He got my 3 charges down to 1. Specifically from Drunk in public, assault & battery to disturbing the peace. I was happy with his work and the communication with the office. David comes highly recommended by me.
David Boertje provides excellent criminal defense, is honest, fair and always keeps you informed. You can count on him to give you the best defense possible and know that you are in great hands.
Amazing lawyer! I recommend him to friends and anyone I know that needs a great lawyer. I hear tons of horror stories from friends who have had different lawyers and pay expensive fees (3-4x as much or more) and can never get a hold of their lawyer or have poor outcomes. David Boertje and his office updated me every step of the way and the price was very reasonable. I have used David as my lawyer multiple times and I have always had the best possible outcome. Every in the office was very professional and helpful!

Rep. Ron Paul really wants to speak at the Republican convention. He's been getting the cold shoulder from the GOP, so now Paul is planning to hold his own convention in a nearby arena during the week that John McCain officially becomes the nominee.
MSNBC / First Read:
Ron Paul's campaign is planning an event at a "large venue" with a "sizable" crowd Sept. 2—the Tuesday of convention week—in the St. Paul-Minneapolis area a couple of miles from the convention site.
Paul spokesman Jesse Benton confirms this is certainly in the works but details are being worked out and not yet finalized. He wouldn't divulge the specific location because contracts have not yet been signed, though this report indicates Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota.
Paul hopes to fill the arena the day before the vice presidential nominee would speak. On that Thursday, McCain will officially be selected as the nominee.

I have to say I'm in love with Ella Frank's writing. I've never read any of her other works before, but now I'm probably going to have to check them out. Reading Veiled Innocence was like putting together a puzzle in my mind, it was very fascinating. It alternates from past to present events, therefore readers only get bits and pieces of the story at a time. The book starts in the present, so you know where Addison has ended up, but you have no idea how she got there, and you just can't help but read on to find out. At the same time, the point of view changes between Addison and Mr. McKendrick, so readers get an idea of what goes on in their minds. I couldn't put the book down because I couldn't wait to see how everything unfolded.
I should probably mention that this book belongs to the student-teacher romance genre. I love reading forbidden romance novels, and although I don't necessarily gravitate towards student-teacher romance, it seems to be a pretty popular genre and I've read several of them already. I know it's probably not a good thing for me to admit that I enjoy student-teacher romance novels, considering that I'm a teacher myself. Believe me when I say that my love for the genre does NOT translate to real life. I know it's wrong and definitely unethical. I have never gotten a desire to be romantically involved with a student, nor do I think it's okay for other teachers to do so. I understand that sometimes a teacher will form a special bond with their students and might end up dating one of them. As a teacher, I think this is only acceptable if (a) the student has passed the class/has graduated, and (b) you are not breaking any laws (example : dating a minor). If for any reason the teacher and (former) student feels like they have to hide the relationship, then that probably means that they know that they're doing something wrong and should probably stop. I believe that true love is beautiful and it should be celebrated and not hidden. But, this doesn't mean I can't enjoy forbidden romance novels :D
(Technically you could say that I've been in a student-teacher relationship before. My boyfriend and I were batch-mates during college, but I graduated before he did. I started teaching immediately after that, so for a while, I guess you could say that we were a student-teacher couple. We were both Applied Physics majors, and after I graduated I taught in the same department he was studying in. But I don't think this counts since everyone knew that we were already a couple before I started teaching. Besides, he was never MY student since he was already finishing up his thesis at the time, and I was a new instructor so I only handled general service courses.)

Due to the nanny state, we
Submitted by LibertyAndRonPaul on Tue, 12/11/2012 - 02:16. Permalink
Due to the nanny state, we have no right to self defense. Our bodies are owned by the state through a contract with our corporate personhood(the guy on your driver's license). This is evident from the fact that suicide is a crime with a hefty fine. We are not free; if someone came at you with a knife you have to call the police and kindly ask your attacker to wait twenty or thirty minutes until they show up. Otherwise its straight to breakin' rocks.

The Culling Song Lyrics - Fairweather
and now it seems so odd to me that I believed in anything,
will this winter hold let go in spring?
Becoming more than how I'm viewing everything.
This is what you've been planning on?
Say you want to know what been going on.
Can't you tell?
we always are falling apart

Welcome to Same Love, Same Rights®
It's time for Equality!
As a minority in America, we must take the initiative to claim Equal Rights as our own. SameLoveSameRights, a subsidiary of RainbowWeddingNetwork.com, provides a variety of tools to help each of us, in states all across the nation, take steps to make that happen.
How We Began... Same Love, Same Rights® was created in response to the first Federal Marriage Amendment Act, built upon the foundations of the work of RainbowWeddingNetwork.
In 2000, RainbowWeddingNetwork.com was launched by founders Cindy Sproul & Marianne Puechl as the first wedding gift registry ever specifically dedicated to the Gay and Lesbian community. The site quickly grew to become the most extensive online LGBT wedding resource, receiving over 1,000,000 hits its first six months of existence. In 2003, the company began producing many of the nation's first Gay and Lesbian Wedding Expos - and as the issues surrounding Gay Marriage Rights and Equal Rights for LGBT Families became more heated throughout the country, the team of RainbowWeddingNetwork (RWN) decided to bring a stronger sense of Activism to the Expos and to the company's work generally on behalf of LGBT weddings. With the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment Act in 2004, the founders of RWN moved forward with the Same Love, Same Rights® campaign in full force.
With a diversity of outlets, the RainbowWeddingNetwork Family provides gay and lesbian couples, as well as our advocates, immediate access to resources to enact real change and to connect with likeminded individuals and business professionals who also believe in the importance of lasting Equality for all LGBT citizens in every state throughout America.
Our mission is to bring a higher level of true cohesiveness to the LGBT community, as well as a renewed sense of legitimization concerning our vision for equal rights in marriage and in creating and protecting our families.
Across America, over 19 million citizens identify as gay or lesbian. Add to that number our brothers and sisters who are bisexual, trans-gendered, queer or questioning, along with our community's advocates & allies... and we become a powerful minority that must be recognized! If we each take an active stance, and take responsibility for the ongoing pursuit of Equality within our nation, there is no doubt we will achieve Equal Marriage and Family Rights within our own lifetimes.
JOIN US! We hope you'll add to the conversation with us on Facebook, Twitter, or choose to attend one of our LGBT Wedding Expos.
Get Involved! Together, we make Equal Rights inevitable.

This recipe is from the Real Simple website and is super easy. This is a sweet sugar crust that can be rolled or patted into the pie pan. You can adjust the sugar to taste. I like this recipe a lot because it doesn't use shortening - an ingredient that is expensive and hard to find where I live.

A summer home to many
July 3, 2011
By Kathleen Nicholson Webber, For The Inquirer
This year, the Ocean City house that Evan Andrews' great-great-grandmother bought so many decades ago will turn 100. The "cottage," as it is affectionately known by the seven family members who own it and the countless others who spend summers here, has seven bedrooms, three baths, and the requisite rocking-chair porch. It has never been winterized, has neither air-conditioning nor dishwasher, but does have sleep porches where the smallest of the clan dream under the stars when the heat bears down.
Kean Buys Summer Home - In N.y.
June 21, 1986
By Chris Conway, Inquirer Trenton Bureau
Gov. Kean occasionally pops up on radio and television to say that when it comes to vacations, New Jersey and you are "perfect together. " But when it comes to his own time off, he appears to be saying, "I love New York. " Kean recently bought a summer home on Fishers Island in Long Island Sound. The governor paid $995,000 for the house and 10 acres on the exclusive, 9- mile-long hideaway. Why Fishers Island? "He's been going there for years and years and years, and his wife's family has gone there for years.
Sweet Sounds At Phila. Orchestra's Other Summer Home
August 9, 1991
By Lesley Valdes, Inquirer Music Critic
One look at the site of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) tells you it's worthy of a world-class orchestra. The place has presence - precisely what Philadelphia's benevolently planned but clumsily executed Mann Music Center doesn't have. You enter SPAC by foot or vehicle surrounded by the verdant lawns of historic bathhouses. The pine trees are luxuriant, sky-high. Like Tanglewood in the Berkshires, the entrance - placid, uplifting - is an ideal preparation for the reception of great music.
Orchestra To Have Its Debut In Summer Home Of Boston Symphony
August 19, 1999
By Peter Dobrin, INQUIRER MUSIC CRITIC
Exposure - or lack of it - is one of the main causes of simmering discontent among the musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The orchestra's leaders have apparently given up on the idea of returning the group to national radio broadcasts, even though orchestras large and small have managed to maintain a presence on the airwaves. Recordings have become sporadic, as has national touring. Regionally, at least, the orchestra has maintained its profile with concerts in Washington, Carnegie Hall, and at its upstate New York home at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, where it wraps up almost four weeks of concerts tomorrow night.
Popular Perlman is uneven in opener The violinist performed with the orchestra at its summer home.
August 6, 2005
By Peter Dobrin INQUIRER MUSIC CRITIC
As mysterious as it is powerful, the cloud of adoration that follows Itzhak Perlman is like nothing else in classical music. The Philadelphia Orchestra picked Perlman Wednesday night to open its summer here at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center - the orchestra's 40th season at the sylvan center - and it proved a wise choice. The wicked storm earlier in the day hardly seemed to depress attendance, and even when the skies opened up again 15 minutes before the concert, drenching the picnickers on the lawn and threatening them with nearby lightning, the audience hung in. At the end of the Beethoven Violin Concerto, Perlman got a chorus of shouts and whistles of the sort generally reserved only for safely returning astronauts and emerging rescued coal miners.
'I bought a Shore house!' A saga of a summer home She'd just started looking. But it was perfect.
July 31, 2005
By Sue Syrnick INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
We haven't always owned a house at the beach. For a long time, we mostly talked about getting one. But six years ago, my husband and I had a conversation with my husband's brother Joe and his wife, Marybeth. Somehow we were able to agree that now was the time to look for a vacation home. We weren't committed - the plan was to see what was available. I volunteered to drive to Ocean City and meet with a Realtor on a summer Saturday. Tom had 10 houses picked out for me to see. I had my list of what we wanted and didn't want.
House Tour Offers Glimpse Into The Past Walt Whitman's Summer Home And The Lakeview Inn Are Among The Stops In Laurel Springs.
October 24, 1993
By Gail Stephanie Miles, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Six local historic homes will be on display during the second annual House Tour today. The tour, which begins at 1 p.m. and ends about 4 p.m., will feature two of the oldest homes in Laurel Springs. The summer home from 1876 to 1882 of poet Walt Whitman, at 315 E. Maple Ave., was built in 1785. At that time, the home was called the Stafford Farm House. The name has since been changed to the Whitman-Stafford House. The Lakeview Inn is also scheduled to be on the tour. At one time, this eight-bedroom home could accommodate 40 people and was rumored to be haunted by a kind spirit.
Twain's Summer Home Bears His Mark In Elmira, N.y., You'll Find His Old Study, And Evidence Of His Wit And Wisdom.
December 24, 1995
By John Corr and Marjorie Matthews Corr, FOR THE INQUIRER
Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain, said: When in doubt, tell the truth. Well, Sam, the truth is they never did get around to building that statue of Adam you wanted here in Elmira. That doesn't mean, however, that you are forgotten in these parts. Fact is, you probably would give a cynical snort of amusement upon learning that the Elmira area is now called "Mark Twain Country," and that they have slathered your two names all over this stretch of the Chemung River valley.
Lived In And Looked At The Summer Home Of Warren And Andrea Kantor In Avalon, At The Jersey Shore, Is Just The Second In The United States Sided Entirely In Marble.
July 18, 1999
By Jacqueline L. Urgo, INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
In Newport, R.I., amid the string of former summer "cottages" of the rich, is Marble House, a place that lures hundreds of thousands of tourists in to see its Gilded Age glamour. Now, some of that opulence has come to the Jersey Shore, in the form of Avalon's very own marble-exterior house. Plunked among the expensive cedar-sided or stucco vacation homes that dominate the beachfront of this Cape May County resort, the three-story white Carrara marble house on Bayberry Drive has become a tourist attraction of its own. It is the vacation home of Warren Kantor and his wife, Andrea Cavitolo Kantor.
Post-Sandy, gentrification increases at the Shore
October 27, 2014
By Amy S. Rosenberg, Inquirer Staff Writer
On Point Drive at the tip of Longport, where houses were cracked open two years ago by Hurricane Sandy's waves and wind, their multimillion-dollar vulnerability bared to the sea, all is as it was. The Hankins finished a total rebuild. The Tuchmans debated selling, but decided to do the repairs and keep their summer home after all. Marvin Ashner, who never left, not even during the storm, still answers his door beneath whimsical Blues Brothers statues. "Everybody's back," said Steven Hankin, an Atlantic City lawyer who lives on Point Drive, which overlooks the inlet's washing machine currents.

Bait shop stays open, but 2 AC casinos close
September 3, 2014
BY JASON NARK, Daily News Staff Writer| email@example.com, 215-854-5916
ATLANTIC CITY - A certain circle of life keeps One Stop Bait & Tackle here open, from tiny worms and minnows to striped bass and bluefish to eager anglers. It's common sense, owner Noel Feliciano said, as he plopped bags of bloodworms onto the counter yesterday. And that's why the nearby Revel Casino Hotel, rising up like a shark fin along the Boardwalk, was a failure, he said - a gleaming, $2.4 billion lure thrown out haphazardly to attract gamblers to a city already full of baited hooks.
Her design firm focuses on decor at the Shore
July 27, 2014
By Amy S. Rosenberg, Inquirer Staff Writer
STONE HARBOR - Christina Smith is not a local, but close. Nearly 20 years ago, the interior designer gave up the cosmopolitan lifestyles of Philadelphia and Stamford, Conn., and cast her lot at the Shore. In her case, the very tony Shore of Stone Harbor and Avalon. She formed the Summer House Design Group and, needless to say, she has had a unique view of the lifestyles of the rich and shoobie. And it's not all starfish fabric and "Welcome to the Beach" signs. Question: How did you end up at the Shore, here in Stone Harbor?
Haven: Summer homes in Australia, Jersey Shore
July 7, 2014
By Sally Friedman, For The Inquirer
One day back in October 2012, Stokes Carrigan and Diane Carter were sitting in their part-time home - a cattle ranch in Mundubbera, Australia - watching television. They were looking at images of a marauder named Sandy wreaking havoc on the Atlantic coast of the United States. Theirs was more than a passing interest: The focus of the report was on their other hometown, Beach Haven, N.J. Carrigan and Carter had moved to Beach Haven in 2009, after years of summering there. They divide their time between Long Beach Island and Carter's native Australia.

Steven F.

A resident of Haverford, Mr. Gadon was devoted to his large family and enjoyed practicing law so much that he continued to go to the office four days a week until he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer right after...
Daly says he had 'fun' gambling away millions
May 30, 2014
BY TOM MAHON, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
IT'S NO SECRET that John Daly is a loser. Not as a human being, as some would have you believe. But as a gambler. Daly, appearing on "In Depth With Graham Bensinger" this week, recalled that he had lost between $55 million and $57 million while gambling between 1991-2007. That's not news. Daly wrote about his alcohol and gambling addictions in his 2006 book, "John Daly: My Life In and Out of the Rough. " What is news is that he apparently doesn't regret his behavior.
M. Tedesco, Gloucester City stalwart
January 11, 2014
By Walter F. Naedele, Inquirer Staff Writer
Marie Klaus Tedesco was a Gloucester City woman through and through. Born in her parents' home, she graduated from St. Mary's elementary and high schools there. She and her husband, Joseph A., operated Joe's Shoe Store there, for more than 25 years, until it closed in 1972. And after the death of her husband of 46 years in 1982, she continued to live in an apartment above the former shop until four years ago, when she moved in with a granddaughter, Michelle Festa, also a Gloucester City resident.
For some at the Jersey Shore, rebound from Sandy has been easier
August 20, 2013
By Amy S. Rosenberg, Inquirer Staff Writer
LOVELADIES, N.J. - Down North Lane in Loveladies, the beachfront home of Newell and Ruth Fischer, psychiatrists from Bryn Mawr, was directly in Hurricane Sandy's path. The storm surge blew out the entire bottom half of the cedar-shingled, A-frame house the couple bought 44 years ago for "$40,000, maybe $60,000," as Newell recalls. The Fischers, easygoing, philosophical, and - candidly - of necessary means, were able, like others among their prominent neighbors along the beachfront of Loveladies, to just roll with it. They bankrolled the initial repairs, hired an adjuster, waited out insurance payments, and put all, or most, of the pieces back together again in time to salvage their LBI summer.
Frederick Lehman, telephone foreman
July 6, 2013
By Bonnie L. Cook, Inquirer Staff Writer
Frederick A. Lehman, 87, of Lansdowne, a longtime service foreman at Bell Telephone Co. of Pennsylvania, died Monday, July 1, of a heart attack at Chester County Hospital. Mr. Lehman retired in 1985 after 39 years as a service foreman at Bell of Pennsylvania, working from offices at 16th and Race Streets. He supervised those who repaired commercial telephone systems in one segment of Philadelphia. During his tenure, he received a special assignment to install phones for the 1981 U.S Open at the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore.
Cost of replacement has Shore homeowners selling "as is"
May 6, 2013
By Amy S. Rosenberg, Inquirer Staff Writer
BEACH HAVEN WEST, N.J. - The full consequences of Hurricane Sandy will be played out in a thousand personal decisions, and for families like the Wosceks, owners of a tiny yellow bungalow on a lagoon, that meant one thing: For Sale. As Is. (Wrecked by Sandy.) And just like that, things will never be as they were for the Wosceks, undisturbed through 39 years, six boats, 40 weekends a year in Beach Haven West, kids crabbing off the dock. "Ugh, you have no idea," said Steven Woscek, 61, of Phillipsburg, N.J., whose getaway house at 35 Nancy Dr. now commands a Sandy-deflated asking price of $174,900.

With that in mind here are our final prospect rankings for this year's draft. What follows is the top 30 players in this year's draft class with a scouting report for each. Remember this isn't the order I necessarily believe these guys will be drafted in, it's just my ranking of their overall ability.
What I've learned watching the Spurs "pound the rock"
"I think the Spurs are gonna win it all," my dad told me a few weeks ago. This was before San Antonio fully morphed into the fully operational Death Star of offensive efficiency that we watched eviscerate Miami in five games. Hell, this was before we knew if they would be able to shake the demons of 2012's conference finals loss to Oklahoma City, much less the heartbreak in South Beach 12 months ago.
The San Antonio Spurs: An Ode to a Dynasty
Throughout the history of sports, there have been a select number of franchises that have sustained success over a long enough period of time to be considered a dynasty. And Sunday night in San Antonio, we witnessed a truly unique dynasty add another championship to its historic legacy when it dethroned the two-time defending champion Miami Heat.
Joel Embiid blows Cleveland Cavaliers away with workout
While speculation will certainly continue to run wild over the next two weeks, it seems that the Cleveland Cavaliers have made their decision as to who they will select with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. The Cavs were reportedly "blown away" by Kansas center Joel Embiid's workout recently and unless the team is overwhelmed by a trade offer, he will be their pick.
What Does History Teach Us About NBA Players Who Immediately Become Coaches?
Tuesday the New York Knicks hired Derek Fisher as their head coach. Less than two weeks ago Fisher was the backup point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder. By hiring Fisher the Knicks became the second New York City basketball team in as many years to hire a player in his first year of retirement as a head coach. The Brooklyn Nets tapped 19-year pro Jason Kidd a year ago.
2014 NBA Finals: Is Heat-Spurs redux good for NBA fans?
I've watched precious little of the 2014 NBA playoffs, and I ignored the long regular season, but I'll likely watch most of the NBA Finals — whenever it finally begins after yet another long lay off — because the two best teams will again do battle. Knowing this type of clash occurs most years though, why should fans watch an often formulaic and endless six weeks of playoffs when most can predict the championship participants by mid-April or earlier?
Horace Grant: James' Heat couldn't beat Jordan's Bulls
NBA Playoffs – Giving Some People What They Want
For the second consecutive season, the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs will square off in the NBA Finals. For the fourth consecutive season, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have led the crew from South Beach to the precipice of NBA glory.
As the stage is set for what should be a phenomenal championship bout, some fans have chosen to look at the NBA with urine-colored glasses.
