A common misconception remains, however, and it's easily debunked. The practice does not limit an installation to cactus and concrete, and until they're established, plants do need a bit of supplemental water. "Rather than paving over the back yard with concrete," says Dan DeGrush, "homeowners can have a xeric landscape with several different species of plants. You can have purples, reds, yellows, whites; there really are a lot of color options and plants that flower at all times of the year."
DeGrush is a designer with Lifescape Associates, a design/build firm in Denver, where the concept of Xeriscape originated. Still, he says, "I've seen people put concrete in their front yards just to avoid watering."
At its very core, Xeriscape is a way of landscaping that promotes water conservation, and no matter where the landscape is located, that's a noble goal. But it's ever more critical given that a significant part of the country is continuing to experience drought. The past couple of years have seen record heat and aridity, and the U.S. Drought Monitor, the arid-conditions watchdog for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, predicts that drought will persist or worsen in the next several months across well more than half of the nation. What seems like a reasonable idea - conserving water use in managed landscapes - soon may be a requirement.
A Xeriscape installation doesn't mean no water is needed; without sensible application of supplemental irrigation, no garden can establish. As DeGrush explains, a successful low-water landscape actually requires attention to three things: "Plant selection, soil preparation and your irrigation system." In the Denver area, where DeGrush works, "... and all along the Front Range, irrigation systems are paramount," he says. "There's just not enough water to keep newly planted plants alive."
What's needed even before the first sketch is drawn, DeGrush explains, is to help your clients and customers set the right expectations. Show them the variety of colorful plants that can fill a beautiful, low-water garden, and then help them understand that "lush" isn't instantaneous. The majority of plants take about three years to establish themselves, he says, and unless your client accepts that, she's bound to be disappointed.
"The first year," he says, "all you really care about is the root system. You don't really care if there are that many flowers on the plant, because it's putting energy into root growth.
"The second year," he continues, "you get a mix of everything: You're focusing on root growth; you're watching the plant get a little larger; you're getting some flowering, but the plant is not at its peak. The third year - that's when the plant is happy underground, and because it's spending less energy on its root system, it can spend it on flowers and vegetation. The plants are starting to live on their own; they need less help from the irrigation system that they absolutely needed in their first two years."
The benefit of drip irrigation in a Xeriscape garden, he says, is that the system targets only the part of the plant that needs water - the roots. And if you install a zoned, ET-based "smart" system, you can manage water use for each specific microclimate on the property. "If you've got a part of the garden that's on the south, that's all sun and slope," DeGrush explains, "you can program the system differently than for the north side, in the back, where water is needed less.
"Further," he continues, "you can turn it down in the third year, and you're not only saving water, you're saving more money."
Clients may balk at the cost of a high-end irrigation program, but as DeGrush points out, the local municipality just might offer some assistance. In Castle Rock and Aurora, Colo., for example, homeowners can receive rebates for installing water-saving irrigation systems. "If you can save a few bucks that way," DeGrush says, "you can put the money into more plants. A couple hundred dollars on a rebate; that's a good situation for [the homeowner]."
Although Xeriscape as a design concept began in a dry, High Plains town, the approach is appropriate in any location where water must be conserved. As DeGrush says, "Even in deserts, there can be extremely diverse areas, with diverse plant species."
Transitional spaces are especially good candidates for xeric gardens, where plants can help to blend the installed landscape with the natural. And these tend to be spaces where supplemental water may be difficult to come by. It took off in Colorado where, DeGrush says, "There are great transitional spaces because the grasslands have been here forever, and if you're going to connect the [built] landscape to that space, bringing in lots of color is what we're after."
Sourcing your plants locally is a good idea, but be sure to talk with your grower and understand which plants do best to provide abundant color and interesting form while requiring very little input. "Xericape planting is very microclimate-driven," DeGrush says. "Areas on the same property can differ in terms of sun, slope, deer pressure, water, soil ... different plants will tolerate different conditions. But with a good irrigation system, selecting the right plants and prepping the soil properly, you can get all these sites to look good."
If your suburban clients have a borrowed vista, you can make the most of it with a transitional dry garden. If they live in town, you'll save them from battling the water district - and you'll save them money - by applying a few Xeriscape principles. Just assure them that they can have easy care, lower utility bills and lots of vibrant color.

I feel he is the greatest astronaut ever. I enjoyed every moment of the demonstrations he carried out on the reactions of living in space compared to living on earth that he so beautifully demonstrated and beamed back to Earth so that we mortals could understand. I feel sorry though for the way one's body behaves after 5 months in space. I am sure life will be no picnic for our beloved astronaut until his bone density and muscle atrophy heal to the point where he can carry on life here on Earth as he did before he made the 5 month momentous journey, and I feel Sure that will happen for him in the not to distant future, since he has all the attributes to make it happen. All the best to you Mr. Hadfield and Thanks for the education you gave all of us Newfoundlanders and Labradorians and the rest of the World who availed of your experiments from space. We will never forget you!!

Jeremy Lin Hits E-Bookshelves With Quick Turnaround Book, Linsanity
By Jeremy Greenfield, Editorial Director, Digital Book World, @JDGsaid
Signaling both new realities in the book business and the incredible hype of the Jeremy Lin story, Vook has published Linsanity: The Improbable Rise of Jeremy Lin just weeks after Lin became a household name and Lin puns began to dominate headlines.
The first of likely many books about the National Basketball Association's newest superstar, Linsanity, like Lin's rise, was a quick turnaround: 72 hours of writing by novelist and sportswriter Alan Goldsher; 36 hours of building the e-book; in stores less than 24 hours later. Six days from concept to e-bookstore: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes and Kobo.
The book went on sale earlier today and costs $1.99, a "promotional price," said Jason Allen Ashlock, president of New York-based literary agency Movable Type Management, which represented Goldsher and arranged the deal with Vook.
The speedy turnaround of the book was due in part to the Vook platform, according to Ashlock.
"The Vook platform offered us an opportunity that we'd never have had years or even months ago – to publish directly and immediately into a trend," said Ashlock.
The book is 15,000 words long and contains no images or multimedia outside of the cover art.
"We're in conversation with various parties about licensing certain images and video for the enhanced edition," said Ashlock in an email to Digital Book World.
Lin is the starting point guard for the New York Knicks. Just a month ago, he was a bench player that few gave much of a chance of having an NBA career. Since, he has started nine games for the Knicks, leading the team to seven wins and two losses over that period. He is widely credited for turning around a losing season for the Knicks, which had been riddled by injuries.
CORRECTION: There have been several other books out about Lin. Click here for a list. To our knowledge, this is not the first. We regret the error.

Clara Maria Pope: Anemones
This is an aquatint done for Samuel Curtis's The Beauties of Flora (1806-20).
A few facts about Clara Maria Pope (1768-1838)
1. She was both an artist and an artist's model.
2. She married Francis Wheatley, the artist who most frequently employed her. He painted the portrait at right.
3. At the age of only 28, she exhibited miniatures at the Royal Academy.
4. When she was 33, her husband died. She returned to modeling to support her three daughters, even as she continued to refine her skills as a painter.
5. The paintings she made for Samuel Curtis's Monograph on the Family Camellia are, for botanical illustrations, huge: the plates are 24x18 inches.

This map was purchased for my husband to hang in his office. The map is beautiful but was badly wrinkled on ALL corners due to the packaging. Very disappointed in that aspect.

Scott Gomez received good news today and is even an outside consideration for Tuesday. Most notably, the center has no broken bones.
More on this as I get it…
That would be good news.
Does anyone know if Prucha can play center? Against the FLyers I wouldn't argue with Hollweg oer Pru, but maybe against less physical teams…. I have seen people refer to him playing center previously but I don't knwo when.
Awesome news!
Dellapina you hack…..
Well I think the Philly doctors announced he had broken bones, so that is where Dellapina got it from… maybe…
Thank you Sam, New York can exhale now
new post!

Feds May Not Have ObamaCare Operational on Time
The Washington Post reports:
By the end of this week, states must decide whether they will build a health-insurance exchange or leave the task to the federal government. The question is, with as many as 17 states expected to leave it to the feds, can the Obama administration handle the workload.
"These are systems that typically take two or three years to build," says Kevin Walsh, managing director of insurance exchange services at Xerox. "The last time I looked at the calendar, that's not what we're working with."…
The Obama administration has known for awhile that there's a decent chance it could end up doing a lot of this. Now though, they're finding out how big their workload will actually become.
» 13 Comments
This should make Obamacare even mo' better, mo' better, mo' better as the former Acorn representatives rush implementation.+4
Well no shit! The feds have never had anything operational on time except an IRS audit.+8
Why would they have had the national health plan ready to implement?
Maybe they were expecting the nation to be insolvent by now.+1
Finally, opening for those "shovel ready" jobs.+2
The governor of Alabama has announced that he will NOT set up a state health care exchange. Your move DC because more will do this.+4
More governors is what I mean.+1
The singular hallmark of the Obama administration has been absolute incompetency in running anything. They have proven to be good at winning elections and creating new rules in the face of constitutionality, but actually doing anything? Not likely, unless the people to get the job done were already in place when 0 took the reins.+6
The federal government would screw up a one car parade. What a gigantic clusterf@#k this will be!+4
Obamacare will never be operational in any positive way. The more operational it becomes – the worse it will function.+2
Just like everything with government, and this "administration" in particular, they couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel. Does Amtrak run on time? Doubtful.+3
Not to worry folks Teh Bum won't be embarrassed by the total collapse of the (Not So) Affordable Care Act. His minions will create a scandal for the government bureaucrat who was in charge of the ObamaCare cluster shtup. They'll wait till the poor disposable fool has been scheduled to testify before Congress before springing the surprise. I mean its worked so great on Petraus, why not just add it to the arsenal of dirty tricks.+1
Dr. Tar, maybe Ms. Kathleen Supercilious better bow out now so that bus doesn't run over her too.0
The federal government would screw up a one car parade
hell yyeaaaaahh look what they did to jfk0

An Ottawa resident, who found the 2-year-old boy at the intersection of East Fifth and South Mulberry streets, called 911 and stayed with the child until police arrived on the scene, Capt. Adam Weingartner, with the Ottawa Police Department, said.
Patrol officers checked with residences near the area and were unable to find the child's home or parent, Weingartner said. The child's picture was distributed through the police department's Twitter account, @ottawapd, asking for help identifying the child, and residents familiar with the child contacted police and gave officers the father's name, he said.
The father, Justin L. Voegeler, later was arrested by Ottawa police on suspicion of endangering a child, Weingartner said. Voegeler remained in the Franklin County Adult Detention Center, 305 S. Main St., Ottawa, late Wednesday afternoon, awaiting a court appearance. The case will be sent to the Franklin County Attorney's office for prosecution, Weingartner said.
Officers and detectives following up leads and information determined the boy walked away from a house in the 500 block of South Sycamore Street — about a block from where the child was located, Weingartner said.
An adult roommate of the father's was in the home and asleep when the child wandered off, Weingartner said. The roommate was unaware the child and a 6-month-old infant were at the residence and did not know one of the children had left, Weingartner said, adding the roommate was not considered a suspect.
Police did not release the identities of the roommate, the children or the mother of the children.
Detectives took the 2-year-old boy and the infant found at the residence into police protective custody, Weingartner said.

The American Cancer Society Recommends the following screenings for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial (uterine) cancer, and prostate cancer.
- Mammograms: Begin at age 40, continue while in good health
- Clinical Breast Exams: Every 3 years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women in their 40s.
- Breast Self-Exam: Women should know how their breasts look and feel; report changes to health care provider. Option for women beginning in their 20s and beyond.
NOTE: These guidelines are for most adults; talk to your health care provider about additional testing depending on your individual risk factors (family history, genetics, etc.) or whether you should begin screenings at an earlier age. For more information, see the American Cancer Society document, Breast Cancer: Early Detection.
Beginning at age 50, both men and women, follow one of these testing schedules:
Tests that find polyps and cancer
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years*, or
- Colonoscopy every 10 years, or
- CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every five years*
Tests that find cancer
- Yearly fecal occult blood test (gFOBT)**, or
- Yearly fecal immunochemical test (FIT) every year**, or
- Stool DNA test (sDNA), interval uncertain**
*If the test is positive, a colonoscopy should be done.
**The multiple stool take-home test should be used. One test done by the physician in the office is not adequate for testing. A colonoscopy should be done if the test is positive.
Tests that find both early cancer and polyps are preferred if available to you and you are willing to have these invasive tests. Talk to your healthcare provider about which test is best for you.
Because of personal history or family history, some people may need to be screened using a different time schedule. Talk to your healthcare provider about your history and what screening schedule is best for you.
For more information, see the American Cancer Society document, Colo-Rectal Cancer: Early Detection
Women should begin screenings about 3 years after having vaginal intercourse but no later than 21 years old. Screenings should be done every year with the regular Pap test or every 2 years using the newer liquid-based Pap test.
At age 30, women who have had 3 normal Pap test in a row may get screened every 2 to 3 years. Women older than 30 may also get screened every 3 years with either the conventional liquid-based Pap test, plus the human papilloma virus (HPV) test.
Age 70 or older: women who have had 3 or more normal Pap tests in a row and no abnormal Pap tests in the last 10 years may choose to stop having Pap tests.
Women with total hysterectomy (removal of uterus and cervix) may choose to stop having Pap tests unless surgery was done as a treatment for cervical cancer or pre-cancer. Women who have hysterectomy without removal of cervix should continue to have Pap tests.
Depending on history, some women may need to have a different screening schedule; discuss with your healthcare provider.
For more information, see the American Cancer Society document, Cervical Cancer: Prevention and Early Detection.
At the time of menopause, all women should be informed about the risks and symptoms of endometrial cancer. Report any unexpected bleeding or spotting to your physician. Some women, because of their history, may need to consider having a yearly endometrial biopsy; please discuss your history with your doctor.
The American Cancer Society recommends that men make an informed decision with their doctor about whether to be tested for prostate cancer. Research has not yet proven that the benefits of testing outweigh the harms of testing and treatment. The American Cancer Society believes that men should not be tested without learning about what we know and don't know about the risks and possible benefits if testing and treatment.
Starting at age 50, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of testing so you can decide if testing is the right choice for you. If you are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, you should have this talk with your doctor at age 45.
If you decide to be tested, you should have the PSA blood test with or without a rectal exam. How often you are tested will depend on your PSA levels.
For more information, see the American Cancer Society document, Prostate Cancer: Early Detection.

Date Warp is a visual novel video game about a young Indian-American woman, a college student who goes on a date and disappears. As it is a visual novel, the player reads through the story and makes choices at crucial points to change the outcome, leading to eleven different endings. The game also contains small puzzles which must be solved in order to make those choices.
Description: The story begins with Janet and Bradley, the young couple on their first date, arriving by chance at a mysterious mansion in the woods after their car breaks down in the rain. They seek shelter inside and find a mismatched group of handsome young men staying at the mansion. After staying the night, they try to leave, and the story takes the first of many surprise turns. Each path through the game reveals only a fraction of the story until finally all the elements are in place and the true ending is unlocked.
Eleven different endings to discover
Five characters to pursue
Solve puzzles to direct the story
Beautiful anime graphics
Opening video and theme song
Five days ago, Janet left her dorm to go on a date.
She never returned.
Was she kidnapped? Murdered? Did she run away? Will she ever be
seen again?
The choices you make can change her fate and help her find
romance or destruction in one of eleven surprising endings!
This game is intended for players age 13 and up.
· A cheerful jock who's been asking every freshman girl on
exactly one date each…
· A polite and wealthy gentleman offering assistance to those in
need. But is that too convenient?
· A mysteriously hostile young man. Why is he so angry?
· A lecherous scientist, who's clearly up to something…
· A freshman at Brook College, previously a socially-isolated
student at the top of her high school class.
· A soft-spoken young man who takes care of others but dodges
questions about his past…

It's a golf sound you rarely hear. Imagine the noise when the metal clubhead of a guy nicknamed "Golfzilla" meets the hard plastic shell of a golf ball. The energy of that nearly 150-m.p.h. swing sends the golf ball tearing down the fairway so fast, it whistles as it goes by.
These are the sounds of power golf, the kind of power unleashed by professionals on the Long Drivers of America (LDA) Tour.
For two days next month you'll not only get to hear but also witness some of the longest, jaw-dropping drives you've ever seen (and heard) at the Endless Summer Invitational, the first officially sanctioned LDA Tour event contested in Southern California at Alta Vista Country Club in Placentia.
The event June 10-11 will be a dream come true for Jeff Farley, 35, of Huntington Beach, an LDA Tour member whose prodigious drives have been long enough to earn entry eight consecutive years in the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship, the Superbowl of long-drive events.
"I've always wanted people in Southern California to see one of these exciting competitions, but nobody's stepped up to put on a tour event, so I figured why not me," Farley said with as much nonchalance as he needs to hits 350 yard drives. The former Pepperdine golfer who played junior golf with Tiger Woods and college golf with Jason Gore turned to professional Long Drive events when the putts on the mini-tours wouldn't fall for him.
Like most people, Farley loves the long ball.
"These guys coming to town hit the ball so hard, so high and so far, to really appreciate the power they display you have to see it live," Farley said. "I just know if people come out they will get hooked."
To make it even more fun "and to reach a more diverse crowd," Farley and his producing partners are promising the Endless Summer Invitational will include much more than the grunts of 25 finalists competing for a $50,000 purse.
The Sunday schedule includes qualifying rounds in Corona followed by a black-tie gala at the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin. Monday features a ProAm at Alta Vista that leads into a tasty Top Chef Orange County competition, a scrumptious hors d'oeuvre to the real meat of the day, the Long Drive shootout.
The Long Drive Pros hope this becomes an annual stop on the LDA Tour. So does the man who started it.
Art Sellinger, CEO of the LDA, is thrilled. "This Endless Summer Invitational hits the three points we think draw crowds and make them want to come back; a quality venue, a quality field led by some big names on the tour, plus [Farley's] been able to attract quality, high-level sponsors." Added Sellinger: "And the event will support a wonderful cause."
The Endless Summer will benefit Golfers Against Cancer, a grassroots, all-volunteer, 12-year-old national charity; Farley heads up the local chapter. "Too many people in my life have been stricken by this awful disease, and I wanted to do something," Farley said. The designated beneficiaries this year are Children's Hospital of Orange County Cancer Institute and the Cancer Center of Irvine.
A great deal of those funds will be generated by the gala Sunday evening, which the players attend. "It's tough getting these guys to go black-tie, but they're doing it," Farley said with a chuckle.
A number of Long Drive Pros on the tour hail from Southern California, and you know they'll be here for a purse in their own backyard. The field includes Farley, who's finished as high as fifth in the world; Fred Groth from El Segundo; Pat Dempsey of Sunland, a former Senior Division World Long Drive Champion; and Vince Ciurluini of Los Angeles, last October's runner up to Senior World Long Drive World Champion David Mobley, who also will compete.
The two in the Open Division you don't want to miss are Mike Dobyn, 6-foot-8, 295 pounds, a former World Champion, and Jason "Golfzilla" Zuback, a five-time Open Division World Champion. Both have recorded drives longer than the par-5, 540-yard first hole of Alta Vista where the Shootout will take place.
Shorter holes can be a problem for Long Drive Professionals.
"Once, in a Pro-Am," Farley said, "we came to a 320-yard hole at Pelican Hill. I only packed a driver that day, which was way too much club for the hole. So I got down on my knees to hit the drive. My partners said, 'Hey, we've got a chance to win this thing; be serious.' I told them this was the right shot for the hole."
Yes, on his knees, Farley reached the green, "and I'll never forget the look on their faces."
Let's face it, no matter the sport, power and distance sell. In baseball, it's the home run. In basketball, it's the dunk, In football, it's the 99-yard bomb. If you want to see distance conquered and hear golf balls hit harder then you've ever heard before, the Endless Summer Invitational is for you.
For information on the Endless Summer Invitation, visit endlesssummeinvitational.com. Sponsorships, tickets to the gala and spots in the Pro-Am and the Top Chef OC competition are available - but not for long.

Whenever a device control policy is copied, the revision id of the original policy is updated and becomes mismatched with the revision id the endpoint is reporting. This results in Enterprise Console displaying 'Awaiting policy transfer'. The bug is in Sophos.Management.DeviceControl.dll and was fixed in Enterprise Console version 4.5.The problem experience in Scenario 1 mentioned above occurs because new policy is copied from 'Default' policy.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- The DEC has been called into Poughkeepsie to help get a hawk out of the Nelson House Annex. The Nelson House is slated for demolition, but crews wanted to get the bird out well before any wrecking ball came in.
Experts say it's not uncommon for birds to nest in empty and abandoned buildings.
"And they do return, to see, because it is there nesting area and when they find there's no more nesting area, they go elsewhere, but it's not unusual. They fly out during the day when the construction activities occur and in the evening when it's quiet, they'll try to come back and this way with the windows open, they can come and go without being trapped," said Robert Balkind, Acting Commissioner of Dutchess County Public Works.
Crews broke windows in the building, hoping the bird would fly out on its own. It's still there, but the DEC hopes it will fly out before demolition crews arrive in the next five to ten days.

The Drift from Upstream
Clarity and Perspective about Online Marketing since 2001
Going Native.
Last month in this space I suggested that the term "programmatic" had outlived its usefulness — if it was ever really useful in the first place. As an intellectual construct it's become little more than a dumping ground for unrelated terms — sort of a "village of lost toys" for ad technology. I proposed that publishers and sales leaders break it all down to two distinct issues: automated process reform (APR) and dynamic pricing policy (DPP).
To be fair, "native advertising" has got to go too.
This week's Drift is proudly underwritten by NextMark, which helps you boost your direct ad sales by giving you a steady flow of qualified, actionable sales leads without the hassle of RFPs! To learn more, visit www.NextMark.com/compass.
Digiday recently did some on-camera interviews with a half-dozen publishers and asked them for their definitions of "Native." Predictably, they got six pretty different answers. Everything from "product placement" to sponsored tweets to "anything that's not a banner" has been unceremoniously dumped in the Native Advertising hopper. Some even argue that it should include "sponsorship" — which I think was an advertising buzzword back in the Taft administration. Yes, it's definitely time to click on "Empty Native Advertising Bin" and start over.
As with our dissection of "Programmatic," the post-mortem on "Native" includes viable concepts that are not necessarily related to one another. I count three:
User Action Integration. This is perhaps the one phenomenon that marketers should be rightly jacked up about. Digital is most compelling when it's about action — the consumer doing something — and in this model, the marketer or brand becomes an actor by using the same tools and protocols available to consumers.
Yielding the Floor. If the web is a marketplace of ideas, the marketer no longer wants to sit on the margins and scream for attention. My journalism teacher Mr. Roberge would turn over in his grave to hear it, but we've dumped the term editorial in favor of the much more malleable content. And marketers are being empowered and abetted by digital publishers to generate their share of that content.
Social Acceleration. We can not divorce the interest in Native Advertising from its most principal motivator: social relevance. The social genie is out of the bottle and marketers see in it a proxy for attention, focus, impact — all they hold most dear. "Make people talk about us, with us, for us." Dismiss the social arms race at your own peril.
Ending the now vacuous and fleeting "Native" conversation allows us to begin a new dialogue with marketers about what digital can do — well, actually three conversations.

Since the dawn of digital, the digerati have been determined to name common advertising techniques with new names that are certain to confuse the people who control marketing and advertising budgets but did not grow up with digital media.
If all of us in the digital industry wanted to pick a strategy for naming things so that we would SLOW DOWN the tip of advertising budgets from their legacy channels into our beloved Internet channel, we could not have done a better job than we have done in the past 15 years.
Heck, we still use "Share of Voice" in a manner that has nothing to do with the way that marketing executives use that term.
Doug's column this week is all about something that we have called "integrated sponsorships" for at least 30 years. But no, that term won't do for us digerati types, let's confuse the heck out of those dinosaurs who were not born digital and call it "native" advertising.
Doug's new terms to make sense of "programatic" and "native" are definitely an improvement but I have a really crazy idea — when a term already exists in the advertising industry for do something or measuring something that we want to emphasize as a valuable way to use the Internet, let's try using the terms that already exist.
How did God punish man for his arrogance? — He made them all speak different languages.
DW, i guess i didnt really "miss" anything since i do understand the three conversations that you propose and never did "get" the natiive discussion.
In the race to be cool, the fact still remains that a) all advertising is driven by a problem the market has (e.g. needs to increase share of wallet, share of mind, move product, change perception, position against competitor, get brand statement out to as many people as possible and have it stick – called differentiation, remember that one?); b) irrespective of medium, the advertiser has to determine the best way to use the medium and construct a mix that helps him/her achieve one of the goals in a).
If native advertising supports the goal, great. If radio supports the goal, great. If TV supports the goal with a call to action online, great. If the native ad is horse squeeze, it ain't gonna help.
We are in a communications industry but fail to communicate every day. We are seduced by the sexy buzzwords and sassy elegance of the new whilst all the time forgetting that the best communication is actually very simple, very basic and appeals to that human thing inside of all of us. We are natively human. Find that commonality and present your case Mr. and Mrs. Brand but remember to deliver that promise when I show up where ever you are, or else, I'll be natively human and discard all of your future messages.

Hi Straub.. Will post for you in Puerto Rico !
Oops! On Topic "NEW Countdown from 999,999" you went from 913,800 to 813,799. I caught the miscue. I wish someone would catch all my snafus. Have a great week!
Just dropping a line to let You know that I appreciate your noble attempt to straighten-out "curley-fries" not having "all the facts correct" -- even though I think it may well be a lost cause. I note curley's reference was to the deficit, whereas your point on the debt being incurred, is more the factor sinking this "Ship of State", albeit deficit spending leads down that same path when overall spending is so excessive that only incurring massive debt can enable it. Progressives seem to think there's no end to how much we can be taxed, and that they, in their presumed wisdom, can spend for us so very much more wisely than we, ourselves.
An ongoing deficit coupled with truly meager spending, would be a joy to behold; but they choose to demonize the deficit to distract from the massive fleecing (spending) that is their ulterior motive. To cut that deficit, they will "tax the rich" (whom, it uncannily seems, turn out to be the not so rich, as the fleecing goes on and on, apace.) Those who do these deeds, truly commit evil; but the duped who obstinately cling to their errors and do their masters' bidding, like curley, if indeed they can be reached again I say: It is a noble attempt You make.

In the Netherlands the Reverand Paul Vlaar's rural church, the candles, the piano, even the pastor's robes were orange for a day.
Vlaar kicked off his sermon to about 300 orange-clad worshippers by praying for Dutch teamwork to lead to victory in the World Cup final against Spain in Johannesburg on Sunday.
During the service, Vlaar kicked a football down the aisle and "You'll never walk alone" was played on an orange piano.
Vlaar's orange-coloured corner of the Netherlands was one small snapshot from a nation gripped by a football frenzy triggered by the country's first final appearance since losing back-to-back finals in 1974 and 1978 to hosts West Germany and Argentina.
Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, along with cities across the nation, were decked in orange, giant footballs were suspended from orange garlands strung across streets and people in Dutch colors rode in pedal boats on the canals.
Fans began arriving at a giant screen behind Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum around noon, more than eight hours before kickoff in South Africa. The city municipality estimated 100,000 fans would crowd into Museum Square to watch the match on a giant screen.
Jesse van Straaten, 31, an office manager, who was wearing orange sunglasses and an orange tie, explained the madness.
"We Dutch are normally very sober and not so outgoing," he said.
"For some reason, this is the one thing that can really bring us out and unite us as a country. It's a pity this doesn't happen every two years."
'The Spain we want'
The football fervour was just as strong in Spain, where newspaper ABC featured the country's flag and just one word on its front page: "Spain!"
The Spanish capital, Madrid, was festooned with flags and the central Cibeles fountain, often a scene of celebration after Real Madrid wins, was draped in a flag.
A giant TV screen was set up next to Cibeles, facing northwards up the Paseo de la Castellana boulevard where up to 250,000 fans are expected to watch the match live.
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the Spanish prime minister, praised the national team in an article in leading newspaper El Pais on Sunday.
"That's the Spain we want, a creative Spain, true to itself, innovative and inventive, that speaks to the world with a new language," Zapatero said.
"The team has shown us how to go forward through effort and creativity."
Eugenia Ribera, 16, who was sporting a Fernando Torres jersey, said she felt proud and anxious.
"This is a day to remember, our team has made us so very proud," she said.
"The whole country has woken up full of expectation."
Jose Herrero, 18, riding a bicycle while wearing a red and yellow Spain jersey, is confident.
"We are going to win the World Cup, how amazing. It's the greatest thing that has happened in my lifetime," he said.
Rafael Sorian, 24, said he thought Spain would win 2-1.
"If we don't do it this time, I don't know when we'll be able to do it again at this level," he said.
