Herbert Neil RhodesThursday, February 20th, 2014 Issue 08, Volume 18.
Neil didnt waste any time in sending for his girlfriend Ruby Nadine Froebe to join him. She rode the bus from Kansas to Fallbrook. Not wasting any time waiting for Californias marriage red tape, they drove to Yuma to wed on Aug. 14, 1940. During World War II, Neil was in the US Army Air Corps and was stationed at several bases in England. He served as a driver of a jeep he weatherized on his own initiative, making it the most desirable transportation for the brass and the driver in Englands harsh weather. In his covered jeep, he led a convoy that crossed the English Channel, France, and a pontoon bridge across the Rhine into Germany. He worked with airborne troops salvaging gliders. At Mulun, France, he helped with repositioning three captured German ME 262As, the first operational jet aircraft. Neil traveled to Paris to celebrate the end of the war in Europe and returned to Fallbrook in 1945. After his military service, he continued to work at the family garage until he was hired as a machinist/mechanic for Base Transport at Camp Pendleton. From 1952 to his retirement in 1974, he was the "go-to guy" to get things done on any base vehicle. After retirement, he enjoyed making motors and other items work. He sold used lawnmowers out of his garage and became known as "The Lawnmower Man." The Rhodes raised two children in Fallbrook â son Allen Ray Rhodes now of Las Cruces, N.M., (wife Marsha Dell Tolleson Langston), and daughter Rita Nadine East Jensen now of Boise, Idaho. Neil had five grandsons: Tim East and wife Marcy of Phoenix, Ariz.; John East and wife Becky of Glendale, Ariz.; Michael Rhodes and wife Lisa of Lincoln, Calif.; Daniel Rhodes and wife Valerie of Great Falls, Mont.; Dustin Jensen and partner Jessica of Boise, Idaho. Neil had two granddaughters: Jennifer Jensen and partner Sam of Boise, Idaho and Amie Jensen of Boise, Idaho. He had 16 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews. Neil is also survived by special friends Sheryl Howell and Becky Altringer of La Verne, Calif. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Foundation for Senior Care or the Fallbrook Historical Society in Neils memory. A memorial service will be held for Neil at the First Christian Church, 318 West Fig in Fallbrook on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. All friends of the deceased are invited to join the family. 2 comments
Rest in peace, you had a full life.
We did not know Neil until he started dating our mom, Lois in 2000. You hear all of the time about how good someone is, but Neil truly was an amazing man. We were lucky enough to share Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and so many other holidays with Neil. He made the holidays so much more fun with all of his jokes and stories of living on the farm in Kansas. Neil and Loiss then husband, Francis built the two houses side by side. Who would have thought Lois and Neil would have seen each other again after 60 years and start dating? Their relationship gave me hope and taught me that love has no age limit and that life does not end just because we get old. Lois was curious how Neil would look with a goatee so he started growing one. We watched that goatee grow and grow and grow. He used to put the Christmas bows on his goatee just to make all of us laugh. That was all Neil did. He just made us laugh. Before Neil passed, he made me promise to watch over Allen and Marsha once we move to New Mexico. He was worried because Marsha was in a lot of pain and needed surgery and he was worried Allen wouldnt have anyone to help him. This shows you what type of man Neil was. He knew he was passing but his only concern was for his family. We went to see Monuments Men last weekend and I thought about Neil throughout the entire movie and all of his stories about World War II especially the part about Paris. Neil shared story after story of his time driving a jeep for the officers and spending time in Paris France. What funny stories about the lady with blue hair and how Paris helped many soldiers during such a horrible time of life. But that was Neil. He made good out of bad and he loved life. It was important and a privilege to have been with Neil during his two weeks of his illness and being able to say goodbye. I thought for sure at his 95th birthday that he would live for many more years. Neil was a fighter and so strong for being so thin. We all have different beliefs, but I know Neil has already crossed paths with Ruby and Lois. Thank you Neil for letting us be a part of your life. We love you very much.

Our previous user rumble winner, jaalvarez, got all nostalgic with his suggested user rumble theme - trams. We picked a winner whose photo expressed a similar sentiment - come and see!
Oh, my. There were a lot of excellent tram photos in the pool – it was really tough picking out a winner! However, there's something about this dramatic photo by novakmisi that echoes nostalgia, expressing our previous rumble winner jaalvarez's sentiment.
Congratulations! Now it's his turn to think of the next user rumble theme, so stay tuned!

Can you suggest a suitable material of construction for sodium hypochlorite manufacturing? The minimum requirement is better heat transfer and less corrosion.
Have an insight or suggestion?
Login or register to post a comment.
Re: Material suitable for sodium hypochlorite
10 May 2007 at 1:29pmSodium hypochlorite is usually made by reacting chlorine with a sodium hydroxide solution. So there are plenty of "bad actors" from a corrosion perspective. According to C.P. Dillon in the book Materials Selection for the Chemical Process Industries, corrosion resistant pipe such as nickel alloys, titanium or fluorinated plastic can be used to add liquid or gaseous chlorine into sodium hydroxide in titanium tanks. Titanium or fluoro-polymer-lined pumps, valves and piping have been used. Cooling coils should be titanium or Hastelloy C276. A good source for materials of construction information for chlorine and sodium hypochlorite is the Chlorine Institute Inc. The Chlorine Institute Inc. is a technical trade association of companies that are involved in the safe production, distribution and use of chlorine, sodium and potassium hydroxides and sodium hypochlorite, and the distribution and use of hydrogen chloride.

Jacob's Ladder
Tim Robbins is Jacob, a Vietnam Vet trying to adjust to civilian life in New York but suffering from horrific, nightmarish visions. The after-effects of a military drug experiment, or something more sinister and supernatural? Even if Adrian Lyne's film makes a lot of confused choices, it's still an interesting—and genuinely scary—ride.

Rochester, Michigan -- The 52nd District Court in Oakland County continues its ongoing technology changeover as the Rochester Division joins the State of Michigan Judicial Information Systems (JIS), a court case management system provided and maintained by the State Court Administrative Office.
Rochester Division will begin using the JIS application on April 1, 2011, in a move intended to increase efficiency and reduce costs. The court will remain open during the transition. However, the online payment function will not be available from March 29, 2011 at 5:00PM until April 5, 2011.
The State JIS replaces the Division's existing case management system. This change is expected to produce significant cost savings while boosting productivity and efficiency in court operations.

New Features below:
UltraQuest Reporter provides ad-hoc (interactive) reporting to business users. Through a desktop Java application, the Reporter helps users to access mainframe database information and generate reports or data extracts. Its dialogs include an innovative wizard to facilitate building, modifying, and running reports. Report processing can be either immediate (online) or delayed (batch). UltraQuest Reporter and Library requests can be scheduled for batch processing on a recurrent basis dependent on production or personal schedules. The UltraQuest Scheduler will submit your requests to batch for execution based on a user-specified frequency (every Friday, the last day of the month, etc.).
The output can be delivered in a number of ways, including through email, back to the Web browser, to mainframe attached printers, or to a holding area which allows subsequent redistribution to any of the other targets. Supported formats include HTML, PDF, CSV for products like Excel, Charts and XML. In addition, UltraQuest Reporter users, if granted publishing rights, may publish reports to the UltraQuest Library for use by other users. The UltraQuest Library provides for shared reports. Through the Library, any user, who is granted access, can view menus of available reports, choose one, specify run-time options, including prompted parameters and output destinations, and execute it. Like UltraQuest Reporter, the processing can be either immediate or delayed, and the output can be delivered to email, back to the Web browser, to mainframe attached printers, or to the holding area for subsequent viewing and redistribution. The Library provides a much simpler interface for casual users, and does not require any skills, or software beyond a Web browser. In addition to reports built within the Reporter, the Library can contain hand-crafted reports (built with NOMAD or the UltraQuest 4GL), links to UltraQuest Applications and links to other Web sites and Web pages. Access to reports, as well as publishing rights, are managed by a catalog of users and user groups.
The newly re-designed Reporter desktop will feature three environments - Design, Publish, and Explore - allowing you to toggle between them for designing reports, for publishing requests to a menu or dashboard, or for managing databases and requests. Each report or menu is opened in its own tab allowing you to work on multiple reports/menus simultaneously. For your convenience all menu bar functionality is now available while working on reports or menus. All reports and menus that are left open when Reporter is shut down will be re-opened upon the next invocation allowing you to pick up just where you left off.
The request structure tree view is displayed alongside the design wizard so you can view the components of an entire request and make simple report changes easily.
Drag and drop is also available in all environments to allow you to easily move objects around within the request tree structure, within menu structures while in Publishing, or while managing requests and folders.
We are very excited about this re-design and expect these enhancements to make the user interface more intuitive and allow the user to be more productive while working on multiple reports/menus simultaneously within a completely integrated environment.
The Totaling dialog has been completely redesigned to provide a simpler and more powerful interface for specifying totals, including:
Shared output groups need to be created for this sharing of report output. Sharing groups can be the same groups that are allowed to publish requests or view requests, or the library administrator can define new sharing groups for viewing other users' held output, e.g. a sharing group for all users in the same department. Alerts are available to automatically notify recipients in the select groups when their shared output is available for viewing.
We expect this new sharing output facility will expand the functionality of UltraQuest Reporter and Library to even more users within an organization.

Has anyone tried to make socks like the ones at socklady.com?They are wild and crazy and I love them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you knit socks now? You can certainly knit mismatched multi striped socks in what ever colors you want!There are many beautiful self-striping sock yarns available. Pick two different skeins and go for it. Or, use the matching skeins, but let the yarn start in different places in the skein so it's the same color, but stripes differently. If I buy a 100 gm gall, which makes me two socks, I use a kitchen scale to weigh it (sometimes it says 100 gms, but might be a bit over/under), then re-wind it into two balls and match my ends, then start both socks at the same time so I get them to match almost exactly. It also helps me keep about the same gauge on both socks! If you buy a 100 gm ball and want it to stripe differently, just start each sock in a different place in the pattern of the yarn. Tami |

Event registration form text – Editor can provide you with last years form to mark up and fax back. Editor usually sends you a draft that can be corrected before going to print. Drafts are time-sensitive with a very short response window.
In House Ads - Like all ads, need to be in pdf or jpg format, and in standard size format (see www.outdoor-pursuits.org/advertising or ask the editor (email@example.com) to send you the ad information.
About the Activity Schedule…
Send Schedule listings to your Activity Schedule Coordinator (bicycling, boating & hiking) or Activity Leader (all other activities) by their stated deadline. You can find their contact information in every newsletter at the bottom of page 3.
Accepting your information sent directly to the editor once does not constitute an agreement to continue to do so. Instead, it almost guarantees that the editor will not make another exception for you.
Schedule items need to be in the specified format. Do not depend on your Activity Schedule Coordinator to fix it for you. (specified format is below).
If you are leading an Event (bike tour, boat school, etc.) and need information in other sections of the newsletter (Articles, registration forms), that information does go direct to the Editor in addition to sending the schedule entry to your schedule coordinator.
Both the Editor and your SC should acknowledge receipt of your submission with at least a "thank you". If you do not get such a response, it is quite possible that your submission did not get to them.
Newsletter issues normally only include information for that issue month plus the next. Occasionally we run an entire season listing for use as a fridge poster, but please don't submit the entire season every month. It causes extra headaches for your schedule coordinator when they have to edit the excess.
For recurring trips, You have two options:
Combining Activities? (ie bike & boat, paddle & climb) - You need to have the ok from both activity Leaders and the trip needs to be listed in both activity schedules (send to both schedule coordinators).
Bike Leaders: Your Schedule Coordinator, currently Donna (firstname.lastname@example.com) sends out a draft schedule every month. Please read it and send corrections/additions. She does not have time to chase you down, nor is she psychic.
Boat Leaders: unless you send the write up to your Schedule Coordinator, he will submit the boating schedule file with the bare basic info from the planning meeting and you will have to deal with all the calls. Neither the Schedule Coordinator nor the Editor will chase people down!
Hiking and Backpacking schedule items go to email@example.com. (currently Paul Kort 2/24/14). He will also post your trip to the backpacking facebook page
Schedule Coordinators
The Editor is responsible for collecting the stories, photos, applications etc. which should be sent directly to the editor, thereby arriving in separate files.
Each Activity is responsible for collecting and organizing its newsletter schedule schedule and submitting it to the editor in an organized, plain text file where all listings adhere to the Specified Format. All that the editor is supposed to have to do is place the file in the InDesign newsletter document and apply the formatting.
Please send compiled, organized activity schedules to the editor as a plain text file by 11:59pm the 5th of the month prior to the issue month (ex. April 5 for the May issue).
If you handle more than one schedule, send a separate, plain text file for each item. Example:
Main Boating Schedule – one plain text file
Wednesday Night Paddles – one plain text file
ACBE – one plain text file
In addition to compiling the schedule, some other tasks the Schedule Coordinator does are:
The Specified Format
The following is the format in which you are expected to submit your information:
Line one: Title - (New Albany walk, Cumberland Gap Backpack,) -(one line, approx. 55 characters)
· Please, do not type the title in all caps. It will look ugly in print.
· If your trip will be in a titled section of the schedule, please don't use that title as the trip title.
Example: If your trip will be listed in the WNP section of the boating schedule, don't use WNP as the title. All trips in that section are WNPs.
Line 2: Date+ time. Add class if space allows. If not, include class in the description that starts on line 3.
· day(s) of week, date (including the month) and time, please use am and pm instead of AM and PM-(one line, approx. 62 characters)
Line 3 to ?: paragraph or two of description usually including starting point, distance. You must provide information concerning the difficulty level of the trip, prerequisites, any limits to be considered for the activity, approximate cost, deposit/refund information if called for.
· gps coordinates, if provided, should be in this section. Detailed driving directions should not be in this listing
· Deposits/Refund Policy: You will need to announce, at the time a trip is listed, the refund policy on deposits if deposits are required. You will also need to establish a date beyond which deposits are non-refundable
· Notes like: "contact leader for directions' and more detailed information will be provided at later date" need to be in the description section above the leader info line, not after.
· Editor reserves right to edit it down to fit space needs.
Last line: contact information including name, email, and phone number (many of our members do not have email). -(one line, approx. 62 characters)
· Leading off with words like "Leader" and "Contact" is redundant since it is the leader contact line.
· Please use our official phone number format of 614/555-1234.
· If you want to reduce the amount of spam you get, present your email address as username AT domain.extrather than firstname.lastname@example.com
· Do not put anything pertaining to this trip after the contact information.
Here is an example of a Wednesday Night Paddle schedule submission:
Frisbee Park to Downtown
June 20, 2012 6:30 pm
Frisbee Park to Downtown Paddle on the Scioto River.
Frisbee Park is on the west side of Riverside Drive,( Rt 33).
This will be a shuttle trip involving class 1 rapids.
Walt Taylor, 614/519-8633 kayakcolumbus AT gmail.com
You can reduce oddities in text by writing the listing in Word, saving as plain text, then coping that plain text to the body of your email rather than writing the blurb in the email.

3 Step Guide: How to Calculate the "Real" ROI of Social Media
You "own" your company's social media platforms and always struggle to get buy-in on investing more dollars or getting additional headcount because these channels don't show a demonstrable contribution to conversions. Sounds familiar? As marketers we know instinctively that these social channels introduce new audiences to our franchise but we struggle to demonstrate social ROI for two reasons –
- Marketing departments are often structured around rigid definitions of acquisition and loyalty initiatives. Social straddles both worlds. If social platforms are managed by the Loyalty team, proving that these platforms draw new customers is not part of the group's goals. If managed by the Acquisition team, they don't always focus on proving ROI and instead focus on soft goals like "gazillion Faceboook friends" or "bajillion Twitter followers" rather than their behavior on site. Either way you look at it, we're not giving this important channel it's fair due.
- We're so conditioned by a straight line "X channel leads to Y on-site conversions" computations that we're seemingly incapable of non-linear thinking.
Instead, throw out the old rules and try this foolproof way of proving social's worth in quantifiable terms.
Step 1
Make sure you know how to use your company's web analytics platform. A lot of marketers do themselves a disservice by not understanding their company's web analytics platform – there is power in numbers. Pull a report on referral sources i.e. what channels (organic search, PPC, email, Facebook etc.) drive traffic to your website. Correlate this report with conversion data.
This is great baseline data but the problem with this report is that it usually attributes conversions by last click e.g. if Parneet first comes to seedwalker.com from Facebook, then a week later clicks through from Seedwalker's weekly newsletter and buys a product, email is credited with that conversion in a last-click attribution model. But Facebook is responsible for acquiring Parneet as a new customer to begin with – how do we measure this value?
Step 2
A report by Adobe Digital Index demonstrates that last-click attribution undervalues Average Visitor Value (revenue generated by visitor) coming from social channels by as much as 88% (retail) to 94% (travel). Specifically, figure 1 shows that the average value of social visitors for retail sites goes up from $0.60 to $1.13 when first-click attribution is used. Now consider that Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter are often among the top 10 traffic generators for sites that are focusing on them – that's a lot of incremental revenue being sacrificed by companies not investing adequate $ and headcount on social.
Figure 2 shows the "real" value of some of the social channels. Notice that despite all the intense interest in Pinterest, Facebook still reigns supreme when it comes to capturing qualified visitors that convert, as are other more mature platforms like Twitter and YouTube. I was especially interested to see the value generated by Blogger visitors who are more valuable than both WordPress and Tumblr visitors. Interesting!
This data seems to indicate that first-click attribution models are a great way to demonstrate social ROI.
Step 3
While first-click attribution is all well and good, the truth is that companies have been using last-click attribution for too long to change it outright. If your company can't use a hybrid attribution model, try using a weighted average while allocating budget to various marketing channels so that your goals reflect the importance that social plays in both acquisition and retention. And stop leaving money on the table.
Stay tuned for a follow-up post on the value of a "like" on Facebook.

Twitter names top UK brand campaigns of 2012
EE's 4G launch campaign has been named by Twitter UK as the best use of promoted products on the platform in the past 12 months, followed by campaigns from Starbucks and Puma.
Twitter: reveals best campaigns of 2012
Twitter has compiled a top-10 list of the best promoted product campaigns by brands on the platform this year, based on a combination of data including total engagements, reach and impressions.
New 4G mobile operator EE was praised for the way reached a wide audience on Twitter, using both Promoted Trends and Tweets, with interest and location-based targeting for its campaign in October.
It also integrated Twitter activity into its overall advertising campaign, using hashtags and @ handles in all above-the-line media.
In second place was Starbucks with its #FreeStarbucks campaign, in March, giving away free lattes to promote the launch of its new stronger coffee drink.
Following Starbucks was Puma, which was commended for a campaign it ran during the Olympics, encouraging members of the public to send in images of themselves doing Usain Bolt's famous pose. The topic trended during the men's 100m final, despite Puma not being a sponsor of the Games.
Other brands to make the list include Cadbury's Dairy Milk, EA Sports Fifa, LionsGate and Coca-Cola.
Speaking to Marketing, Bruce Daisley, sales director of Twitter UK, said the list shows that there is a "massive spread" of brands, "illustrating that Twitter can work for a road set of advertising categories."
He added: "Some of the best performing campaigns were just great product news, with a great story told well, and they don't have to be gimmicky."
Daisley said other high-performing campaigns were ones which integrated online and offline, such as EE. He advised brands not to see Twitter as "an afterthought."
Twitter started serving ads in the UK in September last year. This year it ran around 300 campaigns in the region.
Top 10 UK Twitter Campaigns
- @EE, brand launch campaign, by MEC (October)
- @StarbucksUK, #FreeStarbucks campaign, by Mannigottlieb OMD (March)
- @Puma, Usain Bolt's 100 metre final campaign, by Zenith Optimedia (August)
- @DairyMilk, sample giveaway for puzzle solvers, PHD (September)
- @EASportsFifa, to promote the launch of Fifa13, MediaCom (September)
- @EnterTheCabinUK, Lionsgate promotion for launch of the film 'Cabin in the Woods' by MEC (April)
- @CokeZone, #freecocacola trend, by Vizeum (September)
- @AdidasUK, Olympics closing ceremony campaign, by Carat (August)

Helping College Students Develop Mental Wellness Skills Through Journaling Techniques |
Julia Y. Porter Porter, Julia Y., is an Associate Professor of Counselor Education at Mississippi State University-Meridian. Her areas of expertise are college counseling and career counseling. Journaling is a technique often used in counseling to help clients identify problematic thoughts and behaviors. While clients are usually aware that things are not going well in their lives, they often are not able to identify or explain factors that are contributing to their life problems. Used effectively, journaling can help make clients aware of problems that they have not yet identified and provide clients with new insights into problems they are already working to resolve (Gladding, 2001). While the traditional use of journaling as a counseling technique usually focuses on treatment, this action research project uses journaling techniques to teach college students mental wellness skills. Students enrolled in an undergraduate class EDF 3413 Writing for Thinking were joined with graduate students in COE 8053/8156 Counselor Education Practicum to form a learning community entitled "Journaling for Mental Wellness". The overall goal for this project was to teach students the value of journaling as a tool for both personal wellness and professional growth. An added benefit was improvement of writing skills. Background Wellness prevention addresses mental, physical, social, and emotional needs (Hollingsworth and Porter, 2007). Following is a list of wellness needs with some of the key behavior factors that have been identified through research as contributing to wellness in each of the needs areas: Of particular interest in this project were mental wellness needs specific to college students. Wellness counseling skills targeted were wellness planning skills, academic skills, problem solving skills, communication skills, team building skills, assertiveness skills, and stress management skills. While all of these skills were addressed during this project, wellness planning skills and communication skills were emphasized. Project Description The goal of this project was to help undergraduate and graduate students develop wellness skills through journaling that will help them assume responsibility for their own mental wellness. Techniques used included 1) a focus group led by a counselor who is a journaling expert, 2) traditional journaling, and 3) electronic journaling. The journaling activities began with a 3 hour focus group session. During this session the following topics were covered: Students who participated in this project prepared a final essay in which they evaluated the journaling process and their growth as individuals and professionals as a result of their participation in the learning community (Astin, 1995; Porter & Burnett, 2003). Students agreed that the process was beneficial. One participant wrote, "I am amazed at how uncluttered my mind has become and the refocus and relief from writing. Why haven't I found time before?" Challenges Some of the challenges encountered when implementing this project were: Conclusions Journaling techniques can be used to help college students acquire mental wellness skills. Being able to incorporate these techniques into appropriate existing classes makes the wellness training available to a much larger number of students than could be reached by individual or small group counseling through college counseling centers. Benefits from mental wellness journaling activities are: 1) journaling encourages appropriate release of emotions, 2) journaling encourages self-analysis, 3) journaling improves critical thinking skills, and 4) journaling improves communication skills.

Absolutely agree. I think a major problem is Monty's own choice of garden design, those narrow paths and tall hedges are claustrophobic. My small urban garden just doesn't have room for 'jewel' gardens or 'writing' gardens. I need to know about plants cheek by jowel with others and get some ideas how to maintain a view all year round not just on a seasonal basis. Alan and Geoff ( those were the days) were very conscious of this and Joe has come up with ideas in G.,W. magazine, but the T.V. progrramme seems to have lost touch with the needs of many of it's viewers.
I've just watched back to back recordings of Gardener's World and Beechgrove. No comparison! Whilst Beechgrove is varied and interesting, G.W. has become so boring. Nigel's great and Carol maintains her enthusiasm but Monty just drones on and on. This year, last year, never anything to capture the attention. Time for a change of presenter or at least a hard look at the format?
Lonicera - yes, that might do the trick.
I must agree with Verdun. I don't have room for great swathes with long paths and hedges seperating them, I need to know what's going to look good in small groups close together in a garden which has to look attractive all year round.
I'm rather tired of the Monty input, he rarely offers anything new, The Great Geoff and good old Alan looked at design as an integral part of gardening. The Joe Swift bit is far too short for him to come up with something exciting, why isn't he given more opportunity to inspire us? Time for a change of lead presenter?
I have acouple of health box globes but am thinking of putting in box as an edging for flower beds. Every time I Look at Gardeners World T.V. or magazine someone is issuing dire warnings about blight. Is it really such a threat? Any suggestions for a substitute if I succombe to the fear of plants dying as soon as I've put them in?

"The commercialization of sports hasn't reached its nadir, and we know this because the inevitable last step still hasn't happened-that moment when the Browns and the Rockets become the Cleveland E*Trades and the Houston Mennen Speed Sticks, with logo-embossed jerseys to match." The column continues… "This is the year when sports commercialization will finally go from being a cute, quintessentially American subplot (poor small town jock makes it to the big leagues, gets the big hit in the big game, gets rewarded with his face on a Wheaties box) to a disfiguring herpes-like disease that one never stops being aware of and finally sucks the last bits of joy from following pro sports." And continues… "It's not just the preposterous sponsorship tie-ins you see everywhere, so much so that you can literally consume them…I know we are getting there because I love sports but am beginning to hate watching sports. There are so many goddamn ads and tie-ins now, your skull starts to feel like an echo chamber by the end of the game-and you start inadvertently humming beer-company jingles to yourself, against your will. It is enough to make you want to gouge out your own eyeballs with a spoon and eat them raw." (Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.) more

Sometimes the identification of emerging sponsorship categories comes straight out of the headlines. For example, we are seeing more activity from the makers of hand sanitizers in the wake of growing concerns over the spread of the H1N1 virus. Last month's Tour of Missouri bike race was sponsored by Germ-X, which also has been the official hand sanitizer of the MLB St. Louis Cardinals, the Cincinnati-area's Newport Aquarium and Branson, Mo.'s Silver Dollar City. Vancouver-based ALDA Pharmaceuticals Corp. is the official antiseptic hand sanitizer, disinfectant and disinfectant cleaning products supplier to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Games' speed skating venue—the Richmond Olympic Oval. more

Signage as a sponsorship benefit is often written off. When you compare signage to sponsorship benefits like VIP hospitality, mailing lists and sampling, it doesn't seem as relevant or meaningful. Also, if you consider the per impression or per person value of signage, it is often on the lower end of the value range (although those impressions can add up). Additionally, signage has gotten a bad rap because, at times, it has been overused, poorly placed or is just not very creative. Plus, signage is hard to leverage and is considered "old school". A sponsor or property rarely receives recognition around a great sign. However, as much as we would like to think otherwise, a lot of sponsorship packages started as primarily on-site signage or other visibility elements. I definitely don't think that is what we should go back to, but I would like to make a case for signage as a sponsorship benefit. Signage has evolved a lot, the definition of it has changed, and if done strategically can be a great benefit as part of a sponsorship package. more

Imagine my surprise when, sitting in the salon waiting room, a blog post appeared. Someone before me had left behind Q, Aon's employee magazine (Q3 2009 edition). The bright cover depicts children playing soccer and the headline "UNITED IN 2010: AON AND MANCHESTER UNITED" along with a call-out saying there is a team poster inside. Above and beyond that poster is a case for a sponsorship the likes of which we rarely see. While Aon's core business is not sponsorship or even marketing (it's risk management and human capital consulting), they give their employees solid background on the reasons for the partnership, including business objectives, value drivers and ROI case studies. Particularly impressive is an interview with Charlie Armstrong, senior director, advertising & global branding for AIG, to "find out how the current sponsor leveraged its opportunity to build brand and grow AIG's business." more

An article that appeared in the Detroit Free Press (10/17) about the Ford Taurus Game Day House Party sparked my interest. To summarize the article, Ford partnered with HouseParty.com (a cool idea, but a terrible website, very amateur looking and slow loading) and Ford dealers to throw house parties for groups of guys across the U.S. as they watch football. The house parties were designed to promote the launch of 2010 Ford Taurus. The campaign was expected to reach about 20,000 people at 1,000 house parties. According to the article, the hosts of many of the parties would get to test drive a Taurus for the day and hosts also received a party pack that included banners, thunder sticks and a DVD featuring Fox Sports commentator Michael Strahan. Representatives from local dealers were sent to talk to hosts about the Taurus. The campaign was promoted on websites including FoxSports.com and in print. Ford received 6,000 applications. There is also a contest component and the winner will receive a new Ford Taurus. The House Party is part of a larger campaign that Ford is launching to link the Taurus with pro football. Ford did a similar campaign during American Idol for the Fusion. more

The sheer volume of sponsors doing sports/cause cross-property promotions means the approach is no longer trendy. Rather, it's become a new classic—the sponsorship equivalent of "Jackie O" sunglasses or leather motorcycle jackets. I came across an example yesterday that struck me for how textbook the activation seems—and I mean that in a good way. Siemens sponsors both the Great Britain Rowing Team (GB Rowing) and The Stroke Association in the UK. Siemens is activating them both simultaneously, with a cross-property platform called Stroke for Stroke, which challenges the public to row 10K—inside or outside—to raise funds for the cause. Having looked at the components online and the supporting press, it seems to me that Siemens and its partners are working from a very smart little checklist of how to set these types of promotions up. more

Thank you Aroideana for your information on this particular philodendron. If you would really like to know the origin and the history of this philodendron, I would be happy to share it with you and others on this forum, sinse I personally knew the two plant explorers (horticulturists)who discovered it over seventy years ago and gave it to me. Most people who have aquired one down through the years have got a tip cutting from me and a few others which originally came from the first plant collected in Uraguay, South America in the thirties by Jack Holms and Carl Cowgill who were there collecting selloum seed to bring back to Florida. |

The story above is interesting and I personally love to get plants, even common ones, from the original person to collect it or hybridize it......getting some of my Hippeastrum hybrids from Udai Pradhan in India was a great thrill because it came from a true plantsman that made rare and supposedly impossible crosses in the first place! |

Are we sure we're talking about the same plant. You say it is readily available in Australia, but I was under the impression, it was a "new world plant" and not an "old world plant" indigitally. Is this true? Mine having occured indigitally in Uraguay in the South Americas.I was thinking posibly it started as a "sport" in the wild with the Philodendron Selloum naturally occuring there on the mountains. What do you think? It is not that easy to propagate from "back cuttings either. I will almost certainly try to hybridize it with Philo. "Evansii" or Philo "Imbe varigata" during this April/May season though. |
I wish there was a Philodendron forum this is on of my favorite variety of plants. |

Kalley, Philodendron is a kind of Aroid, this is a perfect forum for discussing them. I love them too. Feel free to start a discussion, especially with a pic, if you would like. Philos are often discussed on house plant forum also. |

the so called super atom aka little crunchy is a selloum philodendron that has been irradiated if I am not mistaken....it bears only superficial resemblance to Mr.Chumley very unusual Philodendron, which is not only interesting in appearance, but evidently in it's tolerance to temperatures far lower than most meconostigma Philos |

Arizona Wildcats
Updated Dec 20, 2012 - 12:56 pm
Arizona Wildcats RB Daniel Jenkins to transfer
The Arizona Wildcats will need to find a new backup running back.
According to Anthony Gimino's 'Wildcat Report', the junior told head coach Rich Rodgriguez Monday he is looking to transfer.
Jenkins had graduated two days earlier, earning a degree in 3 1/2 years in public policy and management, focusing on criminal justice. His minor was in business.
What that degree in hand, and one year of eligibility left, Jenkins is free to transfer to another FootballChampionship Subdivision school without having to sit out a year. It was that or stay at Arizona and face another season of limited opportunity behind consensus All-American Ka'Deem Carey.
Jenkins rushed for 293 yards and two touchdowns as Carey's backup this season, and proved to be a valuable member of Arizona's backfield. However, with just one year left to play in college, Jenkins felt it would be best to play for a school that could offer a larger role on the field.
The report notes that Rodriguez told Jenkins he would like for the running back to stay, but understood why he was asking to leave.
"I have only one year to show the world what I've got," Jenkins said.
"This was just a personal decision for my career. It was something I had to do. It was not something I wanted to do."

Hi! I just bought a 5 quart Pro Kitchenaid mixer from someone today who never used it. We did test it, it works like a charm. She just didn't bake or anything and didn't have room for it anymore. We paid for it ($100, weeeee!) and put it on its side on the way home which was obviously a mistake. Something that looks very much like oil came out from the motor area. I'm not going to try to run it at all until I figure out exactly what to do. Can we put more oil in the motor ourselves? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm pretty sure I should call the repair line for it, but I thought I'd check here first. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The "oil" you see is actually the grease they use to "pack" the motor head, and it has liquified. The grease protects the motor head from all the friction caused during use. This oil liquifying is usually caused by the motor being stressed. This happened to us twice with our KA mixer. We got it from someone who claimed she "never used it", but she must have at one point, for the grease doesn't liquify on it's own...LOL. Not meaning to make light of the situation, but all is not lost. You can bring it to a KA repair center and they can re-pack the grease for you. The last time we had it done, it cost us around $45.00. It actually lasted for quite a while before we had to do it again...but the last time was my fault. We have the "Classic" model, which doesn't have the higher horsepower, so the motor becomes strained easily. You still got a nice deal, though...and once you have it repaired, it should be as good as new. |
- Posted by measure_twice (My Page) on Wed, May 4, 05 at 13:50
or you can un-screw the case and re-pack the grease yourself. Not a big job for anyone that has done any home auto repair or repaired or greased parts of a bike. |
measure twice...where would one purchase the grease for the mixer head? What type of grease would I use? I am willing to do this myself the next time it happens...now that you mention it, I'm sure it's not brain surgery. Any info will be appreciated! |
I have a used 250W kitchenaid mixer from an auction ($40) that is oozing goop. Is sewing machine motor lubricant ok to use? It's a thick grease. |

Concert review
Perky Katy Perry finds sweet spot between rock and R&B
Perky Katy Perry gave fans at her sold-out KeyArena show Wednesday, July 20, her trademark blend of rock and R&B with a touch of sarcasm.
Special to The Seattle Times
Concert Review | During her sold-out concert Wednesday at KeyArena, Katy Perry brought a hunky guy from the crowd on stage for some theatrical flirting and cheek-kissing, drawing out the moment and making him blush.
It was a move from the world of contemporary R&B — with Perry playing the role of Usher, who did the same thing at KeyArena last year. Following the foreplay was Perry's thumping pop-rock hit "I Kissed a Girl" (2008), which peaked when she ran across the floor and slid like a baseball player underneath her guitarist's legs, while he wailed an electric solo overhead — a move from the '80s hair-metal handbook.
Perry owned the moment like a rock star. In those moments, the crowd might have noticed the way Perry finds a slamming center between rock and R&B. But there probably wasn't that level of analysis going on. And really, it would have been a bummer if there had been. Most of the songs Perry performed were about male heterosexual fantasies played like female independence — depressing, when you think about it.
Nevertheless, Perry put on an entertaining show with a lot of energy. Fireworks exploded, platforms raised and lowered, and the speakers sounded great. Unlike fellow big-budget pop star Britney Spears a few weeks ago at the Tacoma Dome, Perry was alert and full of life, singing loudly and moving freely. She changed costumes more than a dozen times — though the first was the best, a white dress with pinwheels spinning on concealed motors.
She delivered everything with a sarcastic tone that seemed to suggest she was one step ahead of herself. She added jokey flavor to '90s hip-hop dance moves Jennifer Lopez used to do seriously and cartooned Rebecca Black's "Friday," a song famous on the Internet for how bad it is, into an epic acoustic guitar anthem.
Perry's fans — 80 percent female, with lots of kids, but mostly ladies in their 20s and 30s — love laughing with her. She's a greatest-hits parade from their two favorite genres, and makes sarcasm feel like wit.

I'm thinking of buying a manila mango seedling tree from Lowe's. Trying to resist impulse to go buy it right away. Need more assurance of survivoral and fruit production. Can anybody help? Live in Central Valley Calif, has long periods of winter season with frequent winter frost. If purchased will have it in container not ground. Sales rep. says it's about 2 yrs old (plant) may start flowing on 3rd yr. Plant doesn't look 2 yrs old more like one cuz of soft & fragile stem. Just tall, slender, bottom stem not hardy still green like green shoot. Should I get it or pay extra for grafted ones? Is it even worth it in my areas? |

The Manila mango trees perform best in warm climates. Grow Manila mango trees in full sun sites with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Work 3 inches loam, 2 inches peat moss, 2 inches leaf mold and 1 inch perlite into the soil to a depth of 10 to 12 inches to improve its nutrition, aeration and drainage. Plant your Manila mango tree at the same depth it grew in its nursery container. Provide Manila mango trees with ample moisture during the spring and summer months to ensure the production of healthy fruit. Water your Manila mango trees every seven to 10 days to maintain evenly moist soil; apply up to 2 inches of water each time you irrigate. |
Thank you so much for the info. What if I were to use a much much larger container and do the same process as you stated above, like you're going to plant it in the ground? Is it safe to dig up the roots when moving it to a different location? I heard mango trees are very sensitive when it comes to their roots. |
