Note to self: No stomping...
Came inside (for the 5th time today) from shoveling snow off the deck - if I let it build up more than a few inches, I can't get the door open.
Stomped my feet to get the snow off my boots and...an avalanche!
I now have 22 luscious, ripe limes that fell off my Mexican (Key Lime) tree which lives near the front door. Off to look at recipes and figure out what the heck to make. We don't eat desserts, so maybe sopa de lima?
It was neat to have tropical fruit falling on my snow-covered boots, but I'd hoped to harvest fewer at a time :-)
Oops, make that 28 limes - just came in from shoveling again. I didn't stomp - really. Guess they're just super ripe.
Freeze excess limes for future use when you don't have any on the tree. I put them in Ziplock bags, remove as much air as possible, and then store them in the freezer. When ready to defrost, put them in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until defrosted. They are just as good after being frozen as they are fresh. My lime tree puts out a lot of limes at once, and then there are periods when I do not get any, but I am able to store enough in the freezer to get me through those periods.
I have two lemon trees, but I seem to use all the lemons as soon as they are ripe and seldom have enough to freeze. Maybe I need to feed it more, or perhaps I need more bees.
I have a pineapple in my back yard that is almost ripe, but only one. I don't know whether it will be as good as what I can buy, however, although it is getting to be a good size.
Here's a recipe that I make with limes. I usually use bone-in chicken thighs.
One 2 1/2 to 3 pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
1/2 tsp. grated lime peel
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Brush chicken pieces all over with lime juice. Place in 13x9x2 inch baking dish. Cover and refrigerate one hour. Uncover; brush all over with the melted butter. In a plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, chili powder and lime peel. Add the chicken pieces, a few at a time, and shake to coat with the flour mixture. Return chicken pieces to baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees until done, about one hour. Makes 4 servings.
Key lime pie is the answer....you need to start eating desserts or take it to a friend! I love key lime pie but it doesn't ship well.
However, given your not likely to make that pie.....squeeze all the juice and freeze it in ice cube trays for future use.
Thanks for the freezing tip, Lars. I hadn't thought about doing that (I don't exactly live in the citrus capital of the world so I've never had excess to even remotely start worrying about).
Based on the amount of white stuff between me (front door) and the road, I won't be going anywhere for a couple of days until I can shovel out. I don't dare let DH do it with his bad back.
Ruthanna, thanks for the Lime Chicken recipe. I think I only have one or two chicken thighs in the freezer, but I will try that recipe for sure when I can get out to the store.
I'd love to make Key Lime Pie, but DH doesn't eat it. Problem is I could/would eat one all by myself - I've put on way too much weight this winter already :-(
I am having a wedge of lime in my Corona tonight. Gosh, they are delicious.
Jasdip, sometimes I feel that my indoor plants (bay, lemons, limes, lemon grass, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, etc.) are the only thing that keep me optimistic from November 'til April. Nothing like the smell of freshly harvested herbs and fruit in February.
A very huge thank you, everyone, for the ideas!
debrak2008 - her My Page says she lives in NJ. So, very most likely she has this lime tree inside and has been successful in making it produce fruit - hooray for her - I'm impressed. Sigh. I'm in NC and have as much snow as I want for several years - stomping because I have early veggie seeds and strawberries to plant really soon, besides the asparagus bed that has to be moved and, and, and, I want to be out there RIGHT NOW!. Stomping.
I am LOLing because here (just north of Philly) we have a ton of snow too, however it is my Meyer Lemon that has produced a bumper crop! My Australian Finger lime is being stubborn, but it may be just too young still.
Yes, freeze the limes whole (or juice them and freeze the juice in small zip bags) for when your tree is regrouping for the next haul.
And this week is going to be in the 40's... lots of melting and spring IS coming!
Malna, I have an indoor Meyer Lemon and after 7 months, the full sized lemon that was on it when I bought it, is finally almost fully ripe. Its been dark green ever since I bought it. I heard it takes forever for them to ripen. Joy, joy! I have a baby lemon on it that's about a half inch long and its flowering again so I've tried some manual pollinating with a feather. Hope its successful! I'm going to try to get more of the Meyer Lemon plants and some Limes plants.

The Groton-based Connecticut Citizens Defense League and other gun-rights groups put the state on notice Friday that they plan to appeal a federal judge's ruling upholding the constitutionality of the gun law passed in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Round Two Begins," read the headline on a CCDL blog post announcing that the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in Shew v. Malloy had filed a notice of intent to appeal the decision issued Thursday by U.S. District Judge Alfred V. Covello.
A coalition of individuals and nonprofit groups, including CCDL and the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, is challenging Public Act 13-3, passed in April 2013 in response to the murder of 20 children and six adults at a Newtown elementary school by a heavily armed Adam Lanza.
The new law added to the state's existing list of banned assault weapons, bringing the total to 183, limited the capacity of ammunition magazines to l0 rounds or less, required background checks for all weapon sales and established a statewide registry for people convicted of crimes involving dangerous weapons.
The legal battle is moving to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, a panel that Brian T. Stapleton, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, admitted "takes a very restrictive view of Second Amendment rights." He said during a phone interview Friday that gun control advocates think the Second Circuit Court's positions are reasonable, while people against gun control find them hostile. "We have always said this case is going to be fought and won on appeal," Stapleton said. "Will we get the relief we are seeking in the Second Circuit? I don't know and I'm not going to predict. If we don't, we will try to take it to the Supreme Court."
One of the court's most recent gun control rulings, Kachalsky v. Cacace in 2012, upheld New York's strict law on gun permits and carrying concealed pistols outside the home.
Scott Wilson of New London, president of the CCDL, said the group has grown from 2,499 members to nearly 12,000 since the Sandy Hook shooting. He said the group has been able to help fund the lawsuit through fundraisers and sweat equity.
While disappointed with Thursday's decision, Wilson said it was not unexpected. "Ultimately, we believe in the judicial process and we have to let it play out," he said.
In the 47-page ruling, Covello wrote that while Public Act 13-3 "burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control." Covello wrote that the legislation was not written "with the utmost clarity" but is not unconstitutionally vague.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy issued a statement praising Covello's ruling, and state Attorney General George Jepsen vowed to vigorously defend the strict new gun laws in court.
Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son, Daniel, was murdered by Lanza, released a statement Friday on behalf of Sandy Hook Promise, the nonprofit group he founded in response to the school shooting. "We have been following this case closely and have read the legal documents that were submitted," Barden said. "We believe Judge Covello was correct in upholding the Connecticut law, which protects both the Second Amendment rights of our citizens and protects our children from gun violence."

What does evidence – and the experience of practitioners – tell us about building women's negotiation competence? In this article, based on the substantial literature on women and negotiation in the accompanying article and our own experience as negotiation coaches, trainers, educators and researchers who have worked extensively with women, we provide practical suggestions about what we think are some of the most important things women should recognize and pay attention to regarding negotiation – whether for themselves or on behalf of others.
We offer five suggestions: Becoming proficient at "win-win" strategies, viewing "negotiation" with a wide lens, taking extra time with competitive or distributive problems, being a life-long learner of negotiation, and walking your talk.
"Win -Win" is a Breakthrough for Women: Become Proficient at This Strategy
Researchers have known for a long time that there are two main strategies in negotiation – competition and collaboration. Competition, or win-lose, is more of a power-struggle negotiation characterized by low trust, holding one's cards close to one's chest, and one-upsmanship. Collaboration, or win-win, is the opposite and is based on skills for building trust, sharing information, creating value for both sides. For both of us, being introduced to collaborative negotiation was life-changing.
We have seen a similar reaction for the thousands of women we have coached and trained over the years: relief at finding a way forward that is not about confrontation, fighting and aggression, but rather addressing both sides' needs and interests, integrating emotions, and respecting cultural differences. Learning collaborative negotiation enhances one's ability to be a good listener and helps build and improve relationships. We see that many women respond positively to this kind of negotiation; it feels safer and in keeping with their values. Armed with the collaborative negotiation skill-set, they become more willing to engage in difficult conversations and more confident in general about their ability to negotiate. They also advocate for their interests within this framework and do not simply accommodate (lose-win).
So, for these reasons we recommend that women fully incorporate win-win (integrative) negotiation into their repertoire and use it wherever appropriate.
View "Negotiation" with a Wide Lens
To be most skillful in negotiations, women need to think long-term and relationally, understand the range of negotiation tactics and strategies to use where each is warranted, and to always pay attention to their BATNA. (Note here BATNA is a term frequently used in negotiation for "Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement").
Most negotiations don't happen in a vacuum; they happen in the context of a relationship. Whether we are talking about an employment situation, a marriage, an interaction in the community, or just a first-time salary negotiation, the parties have been and will continue to interact. In our experience, solid negotiation outcomes often build from an acknowledgement of the importance of maintaining the relationship. This should come as a relief to anyone who takes a more relational approach to life, including many men and women.
Pablo Restrepo, a seasoned negotiation consultant from , encourages his students and clients to consider the "negotiation architecture," see tandemadr.com. As he once explained in a conversation with one of the authors, "negotiation must be looked at beyond the traditional tactical view because negotiation begins long before we sit at the table, and requires much more than an effective interaction." It involves, for instance, developing the value and influence you bring to the table. And, he would add, negotiation is worthless without effective implementation which may involve many other smaller negotiations, as well as re-negotiations over time. Thus, negotiations are made up of multiple impressions and interactions over perhaps years with periodic heightened focus on exchanges, or the resolution of specific conflicts as they arise. Consequently, if the relationship is being attended to regularly, and a problematic situation arises, it will be far more likely to be handled with ease.
Let's take, for example, the simple interactions and transactions that are necessary to get regular maintenance on one's vehicle. Assuming one employs the same service provider over the lifetime of the vehicle, there will inevitably be "stuff" that happens – conflicts that occur between the service provider and the owner of the vehicle. If one takes the time to create respectful and relational interactions with the people running the garage and a conflict breaks out, chances are that conflict is going to be handled in a less adversarial, more problem-solving way.
A narrower, more tactical view of negotiation is still prevalent in the minds of so many, including researchers. While relationally-oriented accommodations might seem like a mistake to some, for certain situations, they are precisely the right choice. We would like to see research that not only measures economic outcomes, but other criteria and longer-term considerations of the parties as well, such as solidifying trust, building respect and good will, and creating value that will be reciprocated over time.
Women should also become proficient with the complete range of negotiation skills – competitive to collaborative – and apply the right tool for the right situation. Win-win is a great strategy and not used nearly enough. Nonetheless, if one's counterpart in a distributive negotiation is a bully (using tactics of fear and intimidation), the win-win skill of listening for needs and reflecting them back will probably not work nearly as well as setting clear limits of engagement and implementing the best distributive tools. Knowing the spectrum of techniques to both create and claim value, therefore, and being strategic about when to apply them is key for success in negotiation.
Finally, regardless of the specific negotiation, women should always be clear about their BATNA. There are two things that give you power to influence a negotiation – your ability to meet or thwart the needs of the other side and the quality of your alternatives should the negotiation not work out (i.e. your BATNA.) Women should always pay attention to strengthening their alternatives in any given negotiation. It is fundamental. We must also remain mindful of the societal backdrop, which can strengthen or weaken our BATNA in specific negotiations. For example, in applying for a job, it may be easier for white, well-educated people to find other work if they are unable to negotiate their preferred terms in an employment negotiation. Worldwide, evidence of the backdrop of gender imbalance is hard to ignore – from the trafficking of women, to barriers to income and education, to women being silenced entirely. In the , we still have not ratified an Equal Rights Amendment, women still do not get paid the same as men for equal work, and according to the National Survey of Families and Households in 2008, women are still doing two-thirds of the housework, even in dual-earning households. These realities more often than not affect the walk away alternatives with which women enter negotiation and must be countered with wise strategic preparation.
Take Extra Time with Competitive or Distributive Problems
As stated above, negotiation is a skill-set that incorporates a wide range of "hard" (distributive, positional, quantitative, competitive) to "soft" (integrative, win-win, relational, collaborative) skills. It is our belief, after years of experience with many different kinds of people, that the soft skills are truly the hard skills because they are generally more difficult for people to master. Nonetheless, for women who are less comfortable applying distributive skills, and because of their own and other's stereotypes, we advise extra attention when facing a highly competitive negotiation problem. We often see gendered preferences when it comes to negotiation. Many male law students will perk up and say things like "I'm glad we are getting to the real stuff" when we introduce a competitive case that requires crunching lots of numbers and the application of concepts such as BATNA, reservation price, and aspiration. The research comparing men and women in negotiation suggests that men and women can negotiate equally, but both genders will often assume that the men will do better than women at the more quantitative and distributive cases. But these stereotypes, both about negotiation and about gender, are fluid and can be manipulated.[1] As we work with women from all walks of life, we need to remind them that all women can learn to negotiate, and it is urgent that they do so before a life-changing negotiation presents itself, such as a divorce or entrenched problem with their boss.
Especially when faced with high conflict situations in which claiming value will be key, we believe that women must dive into their preparation. Let's say business partners, a man and a woman, are breaking up the partnership, are now alienated from one another and are on the brink of litigation. The climate has gotten very hostile and the male partner is a "scrappy" fighter who uses name-calling, gender-based slurs and hard bargaining. The issues they are fighting about are primarily financial, and the female partner knows that she can fall into stereotypical patterns when it comes to numbers. In such a case, she needs to take heed and put in extra care and attention. This involves thorough preparation – analyzing for both sides – position, interest, BATNA, worldview, reservation price, aspiration, and offers and counteroffers. Her BATNA may include her prospects in litigation; she may need to get solid input from a good lawyer. She can get advice, but she should control the negotiation whether she is using a lawyer or not. She should understand the concepts and be bold about using them.
Commit to Being a Life-Long Learner of Negotiation
Many people still think of negotiation as an art, not a science. But years of negotiation research, and our years of training, have shown this not to be true. You can learn good negotiation techniques either through reading, the support of a negotiation coach, or training. To a great extent, negotiation skills are simple and common sense; it's the complexity of our humanity that make them difficult. Mastery takes a life-long commitment to challenge one's skills and build awareness. Given the inequities women face—for example the relative poverty of older women who are single, widowed or divorced, learning negotiation must be a priority for women. When women increase their negotiation skills, they can improve relationships, gain greater control over the treatment they receive in the workplace, and secure more financial independence as well as real dollars to invest in their priorities and preferences.
Weaver conducted a study of how women learned to negotiate during their careers. She asked her study participants what factors helped or hindered their ability to speak up on their own behalf in the workplace. The women identified: learning from one's mistakes, getting training or support from others, and seeing one's worldview or cultural lens clearly.[2]
Learn from Your Mistakes; There is No Failure – Just Feedback
In the aforementioned research, a substantial number of women cited a choice that went wrong as a major factor that altered their thinking about how to handle negotiation and conflict. Each of these women recounted an incident early in her career that she handled either with silence or other "gender-conforming" behaviors. Each recounted how this choice resulted in a bigger problem rather than a solution. Women who did not want to live through such a negative experience a second time often made pledges or promises to themselves to handle a situation differently if the need arose. For example, a businesswoman recounted staying silent in her early career in the face of sexual harassment from her boss. She grew up in the South and was taught that women were to keep quiet. She did not want to make trouble and felt afraid of "rocking the boat" by complaining to Human Resources. Her friends encouraged her to just deal with it. However, the situation turned worse. When she refused to keep dating the boss, he fired her, and at that point she realized she had lost her opportunity to complain and possibly keep her job. She was young and did not have the resources to hire a lawyer. She was humiliated and out of a job. As the years passed, she was increasingly angry at herself for not speaking up to file a formal complaint. Several decades later in her career, when she faced a hostile and harassing boss, she did speak up for herself. With the appropriate guidance from the Human Resources department, she negotiated a resolution in a face-to-face discussion with her boss. Commenting on why she "had to" speak up, she said, "I wasn't the only one, and I couldn't just let this keep happening."[3]
Get Support from Training Programs and Knowledgeable Others
We know from the literature that programs and people can support women as they learn to negotiate. A "goal setting" protocol can help women anticipate obstacles and make plans to overcome them during negotiations.[4] Training programs such as ours, see cglobal.com, can guide participants to make changes to longstanding interpersonal habits.
An educator in Weaver's study described being scared to defend herself in her early career as she thought it would be out-of-line to talk back to the person she worked under as a student-teacher. She was raised to be "a good girl" and to respect authority. Decades later, as an assistant principal working with students, parents, faculty and other staff members, as well as a highly opinionated principal, she realized that she would need to negotiate regularly. She studied books on the topic and found a mentor with whom she could discuss upcoming negotiations. She realized there is a system – a map – to help her, and she uses it in conjunction with planning and role-playing to get comfortable with how she might react to various scenarios. While she still isn't comfortable negotiating, she "does it anyway."[5]
If you are the type of woman who would just as soon not engage in difficult negotiations, training can help. In our experience, it's the "untrained" in the field of negotiation who are often the most adversarial – perhaps out of fear, lack of sophistication, or simply inexperience. One of the signature models of our training programs identifies five communication behaviors used in negotiation – Attack, Evade, Inform, Open and Unite.[6] Attack, Evade, Inform are more typically concentrated in a competitive negotiation (essentially fight/flight characteristic of our "old" reptilian brain) and Inform, Open and Unite more so when one uses a collaborative strategy (the "new" brain or cerebral cortex of logic and reason). It's easy to observe that the untrained, both male and female, typically use more "attack" behaviors and are often unduly competitive when the situation does not warrant it. For instance, a female NASA engineer working on a joint space project with the Russian space agency and well-trained in negotiation recounted to Coleman how she received initial correspondence from the Russian team addressed as follows: "Dear, Jim, Sam, Tom, Larry and Mrs. Thompson."[7] She assumed it was going to be difficult for her to work as a woman on this team. Nonetheless, as the negotiations progressed, the men on her team (who had not received the training she had) constantly used "attack" behavior and, in the end, she became the preferred representative of the American team.
Trained negotiators avoid escalating or accommodating unnecessarily; they stay focused and constructive even if they are dealing with an adversarial negotiator or bully. They know how to look for the integrative potential and stay calm when dealing with the inevitable tension created by zero-sum problems. They will share most information except for BATNA and urgency, they will work to understand the perspective of the other side, and they will not close too early – all skills which will keep one "in the driver's seat" to reach one's goals. Of course, when a woman is a trained negotiator and is assertive, she may still be called names. But her training will help her stay above the fray, not react in kind, and keep her focused on a successful outcome.
Build Awareness of One's Own Cultural and Gender "Lens"
Women who have reflected on what norms they grew up with, and who have perspective and awareness of their gender "lens," are better positioned to negotiate from a position of strength rather than falling into stereotypical behaviors. Kolb reminds us that when gender is seen as "constructed" within each of us as "an institutionalized system of social and cultural practices," there is no absolute meaning to the concept of "gender-appropriate" behavior.[8] In the socio-cultural view, learning must always be considered in and around context. Reflection is the key to such learning: "through reflection on how different contexts influence our experiential learning, we may make sense of our actions."[9] For some women, this reflection brings self-awareness about the need to speak up on their own behalf. For other women – often those who were raised to be highly assertive – reflection yields the recognition that they need to be more nuanced and strategic in their negotiation tactics, saving their well-honed competitive techniques for when they are required.
Walk Your Talk
While gender equity may not yet be ours to claim, we can have a huge impact in our own immediate circle of influence. We can each do our best to create fair and respectful workplaces and homes, supporting other women along the way, and doing the inner work required to believe at the deepest level that we are truly worthy of equality.
Create Fair and Respectful Homes
In longer negotiation skills programs we have conducted, where people have time to "warm-up" to each other and talk about what is most important to them, the women participants typically begin to share their frustrations with negotiations at home. More often than not the issues are about sharing household work.
As consultants of almost 25 years to organizations of all types, the authors know only too well the parallels between organizations and families. Even though the language used may be different, many of the same patterns and power struggles play out in organizations that play out at home. In fact, people bring much of what they learned in their original system – their family – and play it out in the workplace depending on their level of awareness. For men and women who are interested in creating more gender equity and partnership in the 21st century, it makes sense to create homes where partnership, respect and equal (age-appropriate) contributions are the norm.
As Terry Real, a highly celebrated couples therapist, puts it, "children learn what they live." We see too many well-educated mothers still waiting on their sons and allowing them to be disrespectful to women. We also are aware of how many women still live in a culture of violence in their own homes, subjects of verbal or physical abuse. While not specifically negotiation, these bullying and submission communication patterns can set a destructive backdrop for how a woman ultimately negotiates or claims value for herself. Indeed, we would like to see more research done on the parallels between work and home in how women negotiate.
Support Other Women in Their Development
Ideally, all of us can contribute to mentoring younger women to make the workplace as fair and equitable for them as possible. As Leslie Bennetts points out in her engaging book, "The Feminine Mistake," many women who leave the workforce to "be with their families" in fact were pushed out by a work environment that didn't support them in any number of ways.[10] Unfortunately, too many women report having difficult experiences with female bosses. Working together to create good work environments for women is something we all can, and must, attend to.
Believe You Are Worthy
As we know, in negotiation there is creating the pie and then figuring out how to divide it up. With respect to the latter, women must believe they are worthy to claim value on their own behalf. On this front, women must grapple with all the ways that culture has taught them to not do this. We must examine internalized messages such as "negotiation is unladylike," "it is selfish to put oneself first," "good women do this," "it's not nice to challenge," and "I don't want to be seen as aggressive." In the beautiful civil war novel "March" by Geraldine Brooks, a young boy, just freed from slavery, is wounded in a battle and encouraged by a white minister to get up on a mule and allow himself to be carried. The boy can't do it. For all of his life until that moment, riding a mule would invoke a whipping. Within the context of the American experience, we recognize that no group's oppression is equatable to that of enslaved African-Americans. Nonetheless, all human beings who have been acculturated to societal norms that do not respect them as equals need to examine the ways they have internalized them. As women, if we believe we are unworthy, then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, both in terms of what we expect for ourselves and what others expect for us. Internalized oppression is probably the largest challenge for all of us, as negotiators and simply as human beings.
Recent research on women and negotiation has shed light on the "double-binds" women feel when they want to speak up and negotiate but are constrained by gender norms.[11] Claiming value for oneself seems more a male prerogative and a bit unladylike. Our recommendation to women is to let these constraints go and, within the bounds of best negotiation practice, forge ahead. Life is complex: people are complex. Projection is a fact of human life and, no matter what we do or where we go, others will be projecting on us either in positive or negative ways about our physical appearance, height, class, gender and education.
While there are many, both men and women, who would like to keep women in their traditional roles, there are also many who do not. There are many men in positions of power who believe firmly in creating a climate of fairness and respect between the genders. About a decade ago, Coleman was asked to do a training/mediation program for representatives of Iraqi Kurdistan. When she looked over the participant list, she noticed there were no women representatives and mentioned as much to the Kurdish contacts in Washington. Soon, a woman was added to the list. Later, when talking to that woman (who was a wonderful asset to the program), she told Coleman that her mother and grandmother were totally opposed to her traveling to the United States and it was only because of the support of her father that she was allowed to come. In another assignment teaching intercultural negotiations to a European pharmaceutical company, our instructor team was five women. Murmurs of, "hmm, five ladies" could be heard from the mostly male audience. Nonetheless, these apparent concerns were dispelled when we went on to run a highly successful program. Those who are familiar with the literature around women and leadership know that, in 2003, it was a male minister of business, Ansgar Gabrielsen, who insisted that women should hold 50 percent of the board seats on publicly listed companies in Norway. Nicholas Kristof has made it his journalistic mission to build global awareness about the human trafficking of women. And Jimmy Carter has gone on the record as saying that the situation of women and girls is the single greatest human rights issue of the 21st century.[12]
In coaching our clients, one of the most difficult things for them to hear –especially in conflict situations in which there is a strong desire to blame the other –is that the only person you can really change is yourself. Our thought for women here is the same – pay attention to your own internalized oppression and change it. We are certain that truly believing you are worthy will translate into better negotiation outcomes.
Negotiation skills are critical to moving the meter on key variables of gender equity such as voice, economic well-being, and self-determination. Our hope for our readers is that they will be emboldened to speak up for themselves, to support others who should do so, and to continue to improve – and excel at negotiation.

The shape of this suit is different from a normal Dolfin Ugly so a little disappointed.
My daughter lives this suit it has a nice soft lining for her sensitive skin, it fits well, doesn't droop in the front or ride up in the back. I hope it holds up well in the chlorine.
These suits last longer than any other suit. My girls love the designs, I can always pick them out of a crowd and they fit beautifully.

Free Seminar hosted at Proforma Progressive Marketing's office in Bakersfield, California during the lunch hour.
March 25, 2014 (Bakersfield, CA): Melih Oztalay, CEO of Smartfinds Internet Marketing (http://www.smartfindsmarketing.com) is hosted at Proforma Progressive Marketing's (http://www.goproforma.com) Bakersfield, CA office from 12 Noon to 1 PM PST on April 2, 2014. The event will help businesses to better understand Local Store Marketing over the Internet in desktop and mobile search results.
Search engine and mobile search results are now the new yellow pages by displaying local results over national results. No matter how large or small your company may be, when it comes down to it – all business is local! Local consumers search for products and services based on their needs, not based on brands, using generic terms. The search results display businesses that match the search criteria within the communities where the local consumers lives and works. Local marketing takes advantage of this concept by marketing individual stores, offices, buildings and franchise locations locally.
The seminar will discuss the marketing process of pin-code verifying local business listings, managing the map listings with marketing materials, being found in search results, and actively managing customer ratings and reviews. Case studies will be included along with live examples in search results for businesses in the Bakersfield, CA area.
Carlin Jones, Marketing & Communications Director at Proforma Progressive Marketing, will be administering the seminar at the Bakersfield, CA office. Mr. Oztalay will be joining the event through GoToMeeting remotely from the SmartFinds Internet Marketing office in Birmingham, MI. This will help to show how today's technologies can help bring people closer no matter where on the planet they may be located.
SmartFinds Internet Marketing is part of the Proforma Preferred Limited Partner (PLP) program and supports Proforma offices nationwide with web marketing and advertising solutions. "We are pleased to have been invited to the event at the Proforma Bakersfield, CA office. As a Proforma PLP we look to forward to working with the individual offices from around the country on their individual endeavors." said Mr. Oztalay.
Melih ("may-lee") Oztalay is a veteran of the Internet with over 20 years experience and expertise. He is the CEO of SmartFinds Internet Marketing located in Birmingham, Michigan, providing Internet marketing solutions and services to businesses nationwide. With his vast knowledge and experience, Mr. Oztalay is a guest author at prominent websites like Search Engine Journal, Web Marketing Today and Sys-Con Media, as well as, a guest speaker at national conferences.

Onalytica analyzed the online debate on M2M by looking at over 85,000 tweets to provide the most influential individuals and brands that drive the discussion. According to Onalytica the "analysis showed a very engaged community with a lot of interactive tweets. The M2M discussion seems to be more fragmented and driven by some of the major brands present in the M2M space.

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Coca-Cola's disappointing new financial results have underscored the important difference between Coke and PepsiCo: The latter has its Frito-Lay snack operations to drive sales increases and profitability while the soft-drink business, for both Pepsi and Coca-Cola, continues to unravel.
Still largely dependent on soft-drink sales, Coca-Cola reported a decline in fourth-quarter revenue and profits today, largely because of what seems now to be an inexorable decline in demand for its traditional Coke products in North America and no great lift overseas. PepsiCo recently reported similar struggles with soft-drink volumes but was buoyed by snack results.
North America soft-drink volumes declined by 1 percent, leading Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent to call the year "marked by ongoing global macroeconomic challenges." He also said that Coke is looking to "restore momentum" in 2014.Continue reading...

Whatever Pepsi Beverages and Frito-Lay accomplish from here on out, they'll do it together. That was the unequivocal message of PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi in the company's fourth-quarter earnings report.
She acknowledged pressure from activist investor Nelson Peltz for the company to spin off the dwindling soft-drink business from the robust snack business; Peltz also has said he'd like to see Frito-Lay combine with Mondelez but recently dropped that idea after getting a seat on Mondelez's board.
Nooyi said that she even had external consultants and bankers look at the possibility of dividing beverages from snacks. But she said that the company would remain integrated after all in part as a matter of scale. "Decoupling our beverage and snaCk businesses in North America would significantly reduce our relevance to our customers," Nooyi said, according to Reuters.Continue reading...

The Big Game
Posted by Dale Buss on January 29, 2014 06:50 PM
No doubt Scarlett Johansson's ad for Sodastream will be among the most-anticipated of the the big game on Sunday. Cheerios' reprise of its mixed-race family will strike some of the most emotional cords. And a Budweiser spot featuring a puppy and a Clydesdale might convert a lot of snack-table napkins into makeshift hankies.
But more impressive than all of those things individually is the likelihood that food and beverage brands finally will rival automakers as the highest-impact vertical choosing to advertise in the Super Bowl this year. (Watch some of the Big Game spots that have already released below.)
One brand in particular, Pepsi, has a lot riding on the Super Bowl—so much in fact that the brand launched a seperate lead-in campaign to build up excitement for the Pepsi-sponsored halftime show.
"The heart and soul of our brand is pop culture and sports and music," Simon Lowden, CMO of Pepsi Beverages North America, told brandchannel. "And there's no better event than the Super Bowl to bring that to life."
The Big Game will be a major platform for Pepsi's tack to what it is calling a "master brand" strategy in which it treats the variety of Pepsi products as a single brand rather than calling out individual products as has been its tendency.Continue reading...

It may not be long before Buffalo Wild Wings introduces Cheetos-flavored chicken wings to rival Taco Bell's' Doritos Locos Tacos in harnessing flavors direct from a Frito-Lay bagged-chip brand. Because under the new deal struck by the popular restaurant chain and Frito-Lay parent PepsiCo, just about anything combining restaurant food and beverages and PepsiCo IP may be—and could appear—on the table.
The immediate impact of the deal is that PepsiCo beverages, including Pepsi and Mountain Dew, are to replace Coca-Cola as the beverage supplier to one of the nation's hottest restaurant chains.
But recognizing the continued decline in the relative value of soda sales compared with other faster-growing segments of its portfolio, PepsiCo made it clear that the company believes many other dimensions of its new deal with Buffalo Wild Wings could become valuable as well.Continue reading...

Frito-Lay loves the response its "Crash the Super Bowl" crowdsourced ads get for Doritos when they run during the Big Game every year, but the brand isn't resting on its laurels. For Super Bowl XLVIII on February 2, the PepsiCo snack house is expanding the program in two important ways.
In its eighth year of the highly successful "Crash" campaign, Frito-Lay plans to open the contest to would-be commercial creators from around the world, all 46 national markets where the 70 varieties of Doritos are sold, eliminating its previous restriction to the United States. Since it began in 2007, the annual contest has invited only American consumers to create and submit 30-second homemade ads celebrating their love of Doritos.
And the ad with the most consumer votes online not only will run during the Super Bowl on Fox from Met Life Stadium but also will garner for the first time a huge cash prize for the creator: $1 million. Plus, that winner and the creator of the ad that Doritos selects as its favorite, which also will run during the game, will have the opportunity to work with Marvel Studios on the set of the next Avengers sequel.Continue reading...

Has Taco Bell played out the Doritos Locos Tacos space? The Yum! Brands fast-feeder will soon see as it has just announced the third installment in its wildly successful co-branded campaign.
Taco Bell announced that its Fiery "DLT" will be officially available nationwide next Thursday, with a marketing campaign following soon. It's the next step in the company's campaign to build on the huge success of the first flavor of the popular Doritos Locos Taco when it came out last year, Nacho Cheese, and the Cool Ranch flavor that Taco Bell revealed earlier this year. The brand will be offering taste tests through social media, and will make the new taco available early on August 19—a move that didn't go so well during the Cool Ranch launch.
The chain already has sold more than 500 million DLTs in total, almost single-handedly energizing its results over the last 17 months, so the next flavor will be crucial. And for the first time, Taco Bell chose not to borrow an exact flavor profile and product name directly from a chip already marketed by PepsiCo's Doritos brand.Continue reading...
