Calderon says he's reached agreement on new Raptors deal
Happy Canada Day indeed. Point guard Jose Calderon will remain a Toronto Raptor. The restricted free agent said so himself Tuesday.
Jose Calderon
Point Guard
Toronto Raptors
"Early this morning, through my agents, I reached a preliminary agreement with the Toronto Raptors," Calderon said in a message posted on his Web site. "I want to thank [Raptors president and general manager] Bryan Colangelo, [assistant GM] Maurizio Gherardini, [coach] Sam Mitchell and all of the Raptors family for the confidence that they have placed in me.
"I am sure that together we are going to achieve big things in the future."
Calderon, who was in Madrid on Tuesday to meet with his Spain teammates ahead of the Olympic Games, declined to give details of the contract, but NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com that the Raptors have also struck verbal agreements to sign Croatian guard Roko Ukic, whom they drafted in 2005, and former New Jersey Nets draftee Hassan Adams along with Calderon after the moratorium is lifted.
As of 12:01 a.m. Tuesday morning, NBA teams were permitted to commence negotiations and strike verbal agreements with free agents, with actual signings and trades on hold until a leaguewide moratorium is lifted July 9.
Calderon averaged 11.2 points and 8.3 assists per game last year, when he split starting duties with T.J. Ford. But the path for him to be the full-time starter was cleared last week when the Raptors and Indiana Pacers agreed to a trade of six-time All-Star forward Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto for Ford, center Rasho Nesterovic and the 17th pick in the draft (which turned out to be Georgetown center Roy Hibbert).
The Raptors also received the 41st pick from the Pacers -- 6-foot-10 Australian Nathan Jawai -- and Indiana received Raptors forward Maceo Baston to complete the trade.
Information from ESPN.com senior writer Marc Stein was used in this report.
The NBA offseason has been busier than expected, thanks in part to Elton Brand's joining the 76ers. Keep up with the latest moves. Transactions

The stay was very nice. Hampton Inn always lives up to its reputation.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Relaxing weekend"
My husband came to town for a Christmas shopping weekend. We didn't need a big, fancy hotel; just "something to sleep in". This was our first time staying in a Hampton Inn. We were shocked to say the least! The hotel was great!!! Great parking, great staff, great room...everything was wonderful! The lobby was huge and beautifully decorated. The outdoor […] patio had a fireplace & water feature. Breakfast buffet was delicious. Our room was very clean and the bed...OMG! All of the linens were white (which means NO STAINS) and they smelled good!! They were luxurious. We were comforted by the fact that we could sit on the bed without being in fear of someone else's germs. Housekeeping was great too. Room was well taken care of & plenty big enough for my husband and myself. Bathroom was clean too! If I just had to find one thing wrong with this hotel, it would be...nothing! We will definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice and close to venue for wedding"
My family were in Atlanta for a wedding and had the pleasure of staying at the Hampton Inn-Sugarloaf. Wonderful! Friendly, comfortable, felt like being home.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel, Great Stay"
The room is clean, the staff is friendly, its a wonderful location... I don't ever have complaints with Hampton Inns, but this one surpasses my usual experiences... will definitely book againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
VERY CLEANGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean comfortable Convenient"
The staff was friendly & helpful. For us it was convenient to our destination. We had a king suite with a sofa and it felt smaller than some other hotels we have stayed. The Hampton Inn lives up to its rep for comfort and cleaniness, as well. Complimentary breakfast and fresh cookies at night were a plus. Loved the contemporary look of the lobby and […] bathrooms. Highly recommend you stay here Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
We enjoyed our stay at the Hampton Inn at I-85- Sugarloaf in ATL- Lawrenceville very much. People were nice, room was clean and nice. we did some shopping and visit with some family members.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
awesome....will stay againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Weekend Visit"
Weekend visit with family. Not many like flying into ATL airport, but the 35-minute drive on I-85 to Hampton Sugarloaf wasn't that bad. The hotel's location provided central access to our visit destinations.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice. Could see the pool from our room."
Staff was professional and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had good selection and was tasty. Location was great for my trip. We had a very enjoyable stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
I absolutely loved this hotel! Our rooms were nice and the staff was remarkably friendly and helpful. Our hotel was just 5 min from a variety shopping areas. My only complaint was the breakfast, it was not tasty as all but the good outstandingly outweigh the bad!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Helpful Staff"
The rooms were clean, the location was ideal and the staff very helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"My stay"
I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean upon arrival, house keeping did a very good job when we returned back to our rooms, and it was a great location for the event that we were attending at the Gwinnett Center.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel"
Everything was good except he rock hard bed. I just need a soft bed to sleep on. There were also some noisey kids going down the hall ways during the am hours. But everything was nice and clean. The jetted bathtub was the best feature. Would recommend again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Beautiful hotel, good food, pillows too soft.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to unwind."
The hotel is very convenient to I-85 and Sugarloaf Mills. That leads to there being a lot of traffic, so be careful when you're exploring the vicinity. The breakfast spread was one of the best I've seen, except don't expect a full buffet when you go later around 9am. Excellent fruit options. The room itself was great except for two things: the tv, […] and the a/c. The tv is incapable of being hooked up to a standard DVD player. It doesn't have all of the red-white-yellow hook ups. The a/c worked fine except it was really loud when it kicked on. It woke us up a couple of times. Other than that the room was great! The pool is good. It's small, but allows for good exercise if that's what you're using it for. I felt uncomfortable walking through the lobby area to get to it and the exercise room, which is equally as small. It measures maybe 150 square feet which is not a lot considering most of the floor space is taken up by equipment. OVERALL, the hotel & staff were very nice. It smells like a good beach hotel. I'm going to try other places before I come back to this one, but I will probably be back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to wedding destination"
It was very nice and comfortable. Just a tip for housekeeping; if you take guest towels it would be nice for them to be replaced without having to ask.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Arrived at the hotel 4a.m. from Tampa,FL our room that we reserved wasn't what where given. I made the front desk aware she took care of it immediately, corrected the problem and apologized. Awesome customer service, family atmosphere, clean, great breakfast,and nice location. We will recommend this hotel to ANYONE going to this area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Something was wrong with the air conditioning. The beds were very high and it was difficult to get in to bed and the mattress moved to easily. Every one at the hotel was very nice. The location was perfect for shopping and eating out. Over all the stay was nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
My sisters and I stayed there so we would be close to the Gwinnett Arena for the Barry Manilow concert. We loved the hotel! It was very nice, and one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. Thanks for a great visit!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to conference center"
I enjoyed the stay, but wish the shuttle ran a bit later. Our conference sessions did not end until 10:30 PM and the shuttle was no longer running. That would have been most helpful! My only negative about our rooms was the areas around the base boards, especially in the bathroom, were NASTY! Lots of hair and stuff on them.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! GREAT PLACE AND GREAT HOTEL EMPLOYEES AND MANAGEMENTGenuine Hotels.com guest review
i just loved it.. from the moment i walked into the hotel i felt at ease with the presentation. check in was a breeze & the sticky note on the bed about the cleanliness of the room was awesome. I will be heading back when i get the next opportunity to do soGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very clean. Courteous & efficient staff"
Hampton Inn is almost always a sure-thing and this location is an example of the excellence I have come to expect from them. I will stay here again the next time I'm in town.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Best night travelling I've had in a long while."
The staff was excellent and very accommodating as we had a large group that weekend and rented out their conference rooms. They were quick to help with any problems we had (which were few). The beds were clean and very comfortable I would definitely stay here again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel"
Nice place , great location , friendly service , no complaints . Would recommend and would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
From the moment I walked in the door, the staff was very helpful and friendly. Check in and check out was extremely quick. The room was clean and beautiful, the bed and pillows were so comfortable. It was ideally located to the mall/outlets and the Medieval Times (one of the places we visited). The best part about this hotel was they served an actual […] hot breakfast that was free, which saved this family of 4 about $20-30 I'm sure, and it was a nice selection. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"really nice stay"
Hotel was clean and well maintained. It is in a nice quiet area but in a good location by the interstate. Great pricing and free breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Love the Hampton Inn!!"
The stay was a very pleasant one. It was right where we needed to be for what we were doing for the weekend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Currently under construction, but great location!"
Our experience was wonderful. This hotel is literally across the street from the mall! And it's three blocks from the Gwinnett Center Theater and Arena, which is where we were headed. However, be warned. They currently are doing construction on the lobby right now. My kids could hear the racket from our 3rd floor room. My husband and I could not. I […] did hear a 2nd floor guest complaining, and she was moved to a higher floor. Once the construction is done, it will be a delightful place to stay. Breakfast isn't great for us gluten-free patrons. The cereals were all wheat, and it was stocked to the gills with breads, waffles, pancakes, and pastries. I did find fruit and oatmeal.

"Neat as a pin with helpful staff."
Delightful, helpful and responsive staff. Every staff member with whom I came into contact was friendly and went out of her/his way to be of assistance. When we expressed a concern it was promptly addressed. Rooms were extremely clean and well-kept as was the rest of the hotel. I would most definitely stay again and recommend to family, friends, or […] colleagues. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Nice place to stay and I slept great....................xGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel"
The room was nice and had plenty of space. The only thing that would have made my stay better would have been more comfortable pillows. There was a nice selection of food at the free breakfast and the dining area was cozy.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great night away"
Just wanted a night away and this room was perfect for that! Great access to multiple restaurants, and things to do, as well as the highway. The bed was comfy, and we LOVED the GINORMOUS bathtub/jacuzzi!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Loved it!!!"

"Immaculate Room"
The exterior & interior was very well kept. The hotel room was immaculate; the King Size bed was very comfortable. No complaints at all; I was very satisfied with the handling of my Expedia reservation for an overnight stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel"
My wife and I stayed here for her 50th Birthday... we attended a Falcons pre-season game and Medieval Times and went shopping at the Mall of Georgia. The location was good and the hotel was very nice. One of the nicest we have ever stayed at in our 25 years of marriage. Will certainly stay here again when we visit Atlanta.Genuine Expedia guest review

The Space
My " home" is a fully furnished penthouse consisted of one bedroom with a double bed, a night table with a lamp and a closet .
In the living room there is a sofa -which opens up and suits as a bed- a coffee table, a tv, radiocassette player , a bookcase , a/c, and a fully equipped kitchen(microwave,pots and pans, all sort of kitchenware,a toaster, tea kettle, kitchen table and chairsetc) plus a bathroom (a build in shower,a washing machine).
* The washine machine is available for use for stays longer than 6 days at no extra charge and ther' s no dryer but you can hang the clothes on the terrace.
The home terrace is spacious and fits a set of terrace table and chairs for 4 people to enjoy their meal .
Since location is very important , it worth mentioning that our " Home" is located in the heart of the historic center of Thessaloniki within a 5 minute walk from the ancient market(agora), a block away from the Church of St Demetrius, and 10 minutes walk from the main square(platia Aristotelous) and a 15 minute uphill walk from the old city and the castle.
You can find yourself downtown , in the shopping area,at the seafront, at the port ,at the museums, in the action of all happenings including nightlife by walking within minutes(from 10 to 20 depending on your destination).
The apt is found in a real neighborhood , very central with many shops and supermarkets nearby. It is on the 6th floor and there is no elevator.
As for entertainment , you can choose from either dining by the seafront or in Ladadika or catching up to the latest films at the movies theaters in the center or simply lay back and watch the sunset at the gulf of Thermaikos while zipping your favorite coffee.
The night is always young in Thessaloniki, so, make sure you hop on one of the sailing bar boats to have a view of Thessaloniki by night before you move on to other adventures.
The apt has all home conforts,and can accomodate up to 3 people.The rooms have wooden floors and the rest of the apt has tiles.
In front of the apt building , there is a bus stop with 3 bus lines taking to the center or the railway station directly.
All sort of shops , super markets , mini markets, breakfast places,butcheries, pastry shops are available just steps away.
*The apt is very bright, the sun always shines in the living room, it is airy and cheerful, just like the host! :)
You can get to the apt from the airport either by bus-need to take 2- or by taxi (much faster and not that expensive either , it is approximately 20 euros something).
*Pick ups can be arranged, if needed. The train station is much closer and you only need one bus No. 23 to get to the apt.
The castle, the monastery Vlatadon, the University town are all located nearby and can be reached on foot or if you feel lazy ,by taxi for only the minimum charge 3.50 euros.
And do not hesitate to make any inquiries that will make your stay a pleasant one!!!!
1) Must check ID
2) Loud music and noise restricted after 11pm and between siesta time from 2pm to 5pm.
3) Toilet paper must be thrown in the bin, not in the toilet

Cathy is a very good host as she gives instructions on how to get to the flat and then welcomes you with Greek coffee and biscuits (plus leaves you with some tasty snacks)! Cathy's flat is a lovely space and has been nicely decorated throughout. Cathy provides a dongle for the Internet but although this didn't work with our tablets there are plenty of local internet cafés (as well as cafés that give you a free password). Visitors should note that the flat is on the 6th floor and there are a lot stairs and no lift - this can be tiring work but it kept us fit and helped us work off all the spanakopita! Cathy's flat is also in a very good location. Kassandrou Street can be little noisy but otherwise is an excellent spot for getting into the city centre or up into the Ano Poli. Kassandrou Street also has plenty of nearby supermarkets, great bakeries, greengrocers and lots of affordable and excellent places to eat (much better than the centre of the city). All in all, a good place to stay. Thanks Cathy!
The house was very clean and as seen in the pictures. very good location, walking distance from all the major attractions in the city. Cathy was very friendly and we had an excellent communication throughout our stay. I would highly reccommend this house.
This was my second stay at Cathy's place, and clearly I wouldn't have come back if it wasn't a very nice place hosted by an extra nice person. Great communication, going out of her way to meet me even with my travel delays ... making great recommendations on places to visit and eat, etc. The little apartment feels like home quickly, the rhythms of the neighborhood quite evident and real (near but not in the tourist zone), and a very reasonable walk to almost any place you'd want to visit. Even with the 110 steps (hey, down is very easy!), this one comes very highly recommended.
Quiet stay despite central location. Cathy is very accommodating and a great host! Her apartment is warm and welcoming and soon became our home!
Cathy was very helpful from start to finish. Everything was quickly arranged and communicated and although unable to greet us on arrival helped us get from the airport and set us up into her apartment through her friend and even left some food for us for our first evening / morning. The apartment was well kept and exactly as described online. Cathy also left us helpful tips and suggestions for places to go or see in the city. All in all it was a great stay and I would recommend the apartment and Cathy everytime.
I stayed in Cathy's apartment for quite some time and I did not experience a problem regarding Cathy's hospitality and help with anything you can thing of.
I think the apt is very well located. Basically it takes minutes to get downtown. Everything is close and a bus stop right in front of the apt. makes it really easy to get to the airport with a pile of luggage (like mine)...
The apt. is very well equipped and can easily host 3 people. Looks exactly as in the pictures but what I loved most is the huge balcony!!!
I would recommend the place anytime. The only thing you really should keep in mind is the sixth floor if you are not used to stairs.
Dear Cathy, Thanks again!!!
We had a nice stay at Kathy's comfortable and convenient apartment. We found her place to be well equipped with everything we needed, and with enough room for three of us. Keep in mind that this is a charming walk-up apartment in close to original condition. Kathy greeted us with a Greek coffee and gave us a thorough tour of her place; as well she was helpful in directing us to local places and recommending a fantastic authentic restaurant! Kathy's place has a large balcony for sitting outside in the evenings, but also has a large and efficient air conditioner- necessary for Thessaloniki in the summer! It is in a good location-easy to walk down the hill to downtown as well as up to the upper older city. The neighborhood and building felt safe and secure. Kathy is a very friendly host and is sure to give you a warm welcome!

Any Burmese breeders/experts out there?
oregpsnowAugust 10, 2010
Does anyone know if Burmese cats hair gets shorter as they get older? I saw a reference online at a breeders site about this - kittens have longer hair and it gets shorter, almost velvety, as they get older. I emailed them and asked about it but they never responded. I am curious because when I adopted my cat the shelter thought she was about 4 years old, but they were guessing. I have had her two years and each time she sheds her coat gets thicker, shorter, softer and more like velvet. Some of this can be caused by the good canned food she eats, but I am not sure about her hair getting shorter.
I asked her how old she is and she wouldn't say. A lady never tells her age and I think she likes being a bit mysterious.

I think my Rosemary topiary is dying. Please help!
I I purchased this only a few months ago, it was doing beautifully until I moved it out of light for a week (stupid, I know). Now it's back in full sun and most of the leaves are dead and very brittle. I have given it ample water and do not know what else to do. I've read they like misting, in other places I've read they hate misting. Any help would be great. Oh, and it's an inside topiary.
Rosemary plants don't take too kindly to be grown inside, unless you have ideal conditions: as close to full sun as you can provide, high humidity, cool temperatures. Ample water is not something this plant ever needs, and not when trying to survive inside. That may have been the straw....
They don't need to be misted, but anything else you can do to raise the relative humidity would be a good thing.
Oops....just saw the date on this post. I guess it's all moot by now, right?
I realize this is a late post also; however, I read that rosemary plants should be allowed to completely dry out before watering. In the past, I have killed quite a few rosemary plants but since trying this technique, mine has done fabulous. I have not misted it and I wonder about that approach as rosemary naturally grows in some pretty arid areas of Italy and Greece.
Hi Teresa, it depends on the microclimate. It's far too dry indoors during winter. Even in seemingly arid places,dews collect during evenings. It's not as arid as it seems.
In indoor environment, misting is necessary to prevent spider mites & mildew which are prevalent here.
By the way, the above described ailment sounds more like an attack of powdery mildew.
My rosemary topiary is 13 months old (from date cutting was taken) and has done surprisingly well in the house. It gets diect sun in a south-southwest bay window. It does dry out because of the low humidity and I mist it every couple of days as I think about it. Twice this winter I have had to dunk it's head in water with a little ivory soap to get rid of spider mites. I was prepared to lose it the last time, as the infestation was pretty serious, but a month later, it looks fine, although not as glossy as I'd like. Also, it has yet to flower. In Florida, I gave my rosemarys fish emulsion which made them very green with multitudes of flowers, but since I'm in an apartment, that is out of the question. I mean, have you smelled fish emulsion!
Last September, I had two small rosemaries. One 18 months old and stayed outside all winter, but it taste lousy, oddly enough. The newer one was just a few months old so I brought it in for the winter. The former one has survived another winter, and the later, didn't survive my make-shift indoor garden. (Fluorescent light over two chairs, turned on every morning and off every evening with the humidifier two feet away from it, and the rosemary was only watered when the soil was dry.) I know rosemary is only supposed to stay out in zone 7 and higher numbers, but, well, thankfully no one has told it that one! ;) (It still smells nice.)
Wouldn't be upset, if anyone gave us more lessons in the care of indoor rosemary. I know I'm going to buy at least one more, and I really feel guilty killing plants.
I'm in the beginning stages of growing my rosemary topiary. I began with a 4-pack of plants from the local grocery store's annual selection, planted 3 of them in large containers along with other annual flowers, and planted the straightest stemmed one in a 4 inch pot. I stripped off all the lower leaves and tiny branches and am presently waiting for it to grow to the point where I can start shaping it.
I'm really glad I stumbled onto this post as it has given me a lot of good advice on how to care for the plant. It is presently outside and receives morning sun, then a bit of shade as the sun passes its highest point.
I'm hopeful that I can successfully bring it indoors without too much of a shock. I was hoping to keep it going over winter in an east window. I suppose time will tell. I'd hate to kill it...

Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.

There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.

Please. Make me feel something!
Aug 15th
By Mars Dorian, Contributing {grow} Columnist
Recently, I watched a talk that blew my mind. It was called "Why the best companies make you feel something".
The speaker, John Kearon, dubbed as the "Steve Jobs of Market Research," asked the audience which of the following states contributed the most to the success of an advertisement:
A) Purely Logical
B) Logical and emotional
C) Purely emotional
You'd probably pick B like most did, but Kearon claims that PURE emotion is the sole buying decision influencer — because it's targeting
your oldest and most powerful part of the brain – the fight-or-flight REPTILIAN BRAIN. Grrrrrrr.
And in order to create the strongest reaction (e.g. making people ACT on your calls to actions), you have to create something that either pisses them off or excites them.
Kearon left his speech with a bold claim (I'm paraphrasing): "We are feeling creatures. Content matters so much LESS than you think it does. Do something shocking or exhilarating in your marketing, but don't be bland. If people feel nothing, they do nothing."
Whether that's 100% true or not, it made me think about my digital career so far. It also reminded me of this popular quote in the branding world:
This order is important.
When I write with more FIRE (aka passion), I get more shares and comments. When I create work that's more edgy and over-the-top,
I get more (and better) clients.
When you say that's totally unreasonable, you're abso-fricking-lutely right. But we humans are unreasonable creatures by default:
Buying a car for 60,000 bucks is unreasonable. The main reason for getting a car is that it takes you from point A to point B
faster and more conveniently than your feet. But who cares? A Kia simply doesn't make you feel the way a Mercedes does.
What about the iPad ? (Ahh, no example without Apple. Those bastards.) When it launched no one needed it. It was too impractical to create work with it (that's what the Mac's for), and the app choice was rather meager back then. But people bought it like it has the cure for death inside. Because it wasn't YOU who bought it — it was your emotive reptilian brain again. Grrrrr.
Oh let's forget those high-class products … just look at what kind of content people spread virally online. Cats that fart and hiccup at the same time or a father that pierces his daughter's laptop with a 44?
Come on, that kind of content has ZERO value, but it DOES evoke a strong emotional reaction in you, whether it's laughter or disgust.
Totally unreasonable, but totally emotional.
Here's my claim – in these social media times when everyone's OBSESSED with stats and data, and how-to content, maybe it's time to remember WHOM we are doing this all for — real, human beings. With reptilian brains.
Try it out for yourself — instead of worrying just about the content, focus more intensely on the emotional part of your marketing strategies :
How to infuse more emotional OOOOMPH into your marketing
- Be "too." Some people say my site is too cartoonish and colorful – it looks more like a comic geek's lair than a visual marketing biz. Well, they're obviously not my clients. I attract the RIGHT clients who luv that style. What about you — what can you make "too?" Too edgy, too colorful, too friendly? Too over-the-top design? Find those edges. And walk right up to them.
- Concentrate on the feeling benefit of your products and services. Show pictures, words and/or videos of how people feel after they bought your product or services. What's the state you want them to feel?
- Write visual. Using lots of latin-based words makes your ego think you're one smart something, but it has the emotional power of a vacuum instruction manual. The easier it is to grab your sentences, the more your audience can picture it. And if they can "picture" it, they can feel it. Ambulate this direction? No. Walk this way.
- Include conflict. Me versus them. Our group against theirs. Your past self versus your new one. Whenever we include conflict and contrasts in our content, sparks fly. And emotions arise.
- Surprise. Email clients when they least expect it. Personally welcome every new subscriber to your email list. Send your best customers a real card on special occasions. Create a video for your brand that no one would expect (but still relates to the brand.) When that works, you have their full attention, and you can do something with it.
Remember what Kearon said: If people feel nothing, they do nothing.
So, go beyond the numbers and how-tos, and create an emotional response to make people ACT on your calls to action!
Have you tried this in your company? Are you going to try it now? How are you going to make me feel something?

Adopting a Piggly Wiggly View of Social Media
Aug 9th
By {grow} Community Member Lou Hoffman
Companies understand the intellectual argument for embracing the digital world. Prospects, job candidates and other target audiences increasingly conduct due diligence on the Net before making decisions.
That's the easy part. Most marketing execs get this and the need to come up the digital curve.
But expertise by itself isn't the game changer.
Mark hit the nail on the head in a recent post: "… social media success is not going to be a function of marketing vision or budget. It's going to rely on radical organizational transformation."
But this transformation goes deeper than org charts, training and replacing the Friday jelly donuts. I think the game changer lies in companies changing from a mentality of centralized control to one that cultivates a distributed approach of digital actions.
Getting Past the Fright
This is a scary proposition. I can hear the lament echoing in the corporate corridors:
"It's tough enough that our comms team is deploying social media that generates real conversations, dialogue we can't always anticipate and with people we don't always know. And now you expect us to proactively put these tools in the hands of amateurs. Borrowing from Match Box 20, you might not be crazy, but you're certainly unwell."
The shift away from a command and control model always causes heartburn.
When the Piggly Wiggly invented the self-serve grocery store, the common wisdom was that customers would steal them blind. The idea of picking your own groceries from the shelves instead of ordering from a single counter was viewed as totally radical in the day.
As it turned out, people lived up to the trust.
Last year we went through the exercise of helping a client CMO sell the idea of a hybrid decentralized model – select employees from all functions across the company would be trained and guided in social media – to the rest of the executive management team. The CEO put the kibosh on the proposal. His rationale – as a public company, they carefully scripted what they're going to say during each quarterly earnings call and the last thing they needed was some guy in procurement tanking the stock price with an off-hand tweet.
Being a glass-is-half-full type, I told the CMO this is a good start. At least your CEO knows what a tweet is.
Here's the part the CEO hasn't figured out.
It Comes Down to Trust
If Piggly Wiggly can trust customers, you can trust your employees. With the right training and guidance, their use of social media will become a net positive and expand the company's digital footprint.
A few companies have the right spirit.
My favorite example of an organization willing to give up control in exchange for the multiplier effect of social media is the Department of Defense. In fact, the DoD established a SlideShare platform to support the rank and file on topics ranging from how to tweet to tips and tools for YouTube.
Look, I don't pretend to have all the answers on how a company can harness the collective power of its employees in deploying social media.
But I do know this. If companies don't start rethinking their centralized mindset, trusting their employees and trying new things, the answers will never come.

The Social Media Minefield: Five factors blocking your success
Jul 29th
When I work with clients on marketing strategies, we spend a lot of time working through the hurdles to implementation success, particularly if it is a large, bureacratic company.
Part of the process is to have a brain-storming session to think through all of the factors that could cause our ideas to fail. Then, one by one, we come up with proactive countermeasures to knock out those landmines before they blow our plans to pieces.
One Fortune 500 company I have been working with has been aggressively moving its marketing team into the digital age. They reported to me that no matter where they go in the world, the same five factors come up over and over again. As I compare this to my experiences working with organizations of every size and type, I think these five factors are universal. These seem to be the same obstacles EVERYBODY is struggling with:
1) Budget and resources
"We already have a full plate. We don't have time for something new."
"We'll let the intern do it."
"This will have to wait until next year's budgeting cycle."
"Until you can demonstrate an ROI for this, the project is on hold."
"Social media is fine if you can fit this into our existing measurement dashboard."
"We need to make social media a profit center that pulls its own weight."
3) IT – Tech support
"Shouldn't the IT department own social media strategy?"
"We're too busy figuring out cloud computing to help with your Facebook app."
"The IT department budget is fixed on project work like infrastructure."
4) Legal and regulatory
"Federal guidelines prohibit us from having a social media presence."
"The Legal Department will have to approve everything we publish each day."
"The legal risk of responding to consumers is far too great. Say nothing."
5) Culture and change management
"Facebook is for kids. This is not something for our company."
"I tried Twitter and I hated it. Nobody on the board uses it either so our company doesn't need it."
"Our company is very successful with what we have been doing for years. If it isn't broken, why fix it?"
Sound familiar?
Of these, "Culture" is the most pervasive challenge. It's sort of an umbrella problem for all of these issues because even if you fix the others, if the company culture doesn't align with the requirements of being a "social organization," you will never create sustainable change.
As you create marketing plans for your own business — or if your current efforts are stagnating — maybe it's time to step back and look at your own "landmines" that are keeping you from your goals. Focusing on removing the internal roadblocks will give you the only chance of long-term marketing success.
This takes time and patience, but if you don't do this hard work upfront, even the most brilliant plan is destined for a slow, painful failure.
How does this resonate with you? How are you dealing with your Social Media Minefield?
The Secret Sauce for Creating Gold Medal Relationships
Jul 11th
By Stanford Smith, Contributing {grow} Columinst
My wife and I are infected by Olympics fever.
We watch the Olympic trials together every night. Inspired by track and field hopeful we have intensified our jogging and 5K training schedules. Our children have been enrolled in gymnastics and registered for mini-triathalons in an attempt to see if there is a future gold medalist in our midst.
We've got it bad.
The #1 reason for our obsessive devotion to the Olympics is NBC's superb ability to tell a story. These stories pull the audience into the life of the Olympian. We feel connected to Gabby Douglas' life, challenges, and triumphs as she lines up for her vault. Missteps and wobbles (on the rare occasion they happen) hurts us as if it were our own child or friend. We pump our fist and smile with pride when she sticks her dismount like we trained alongside her for years.
It occurred to me that businesses pay an enormous amount to earn the same loyalty and devotion from its consumers. You would think that the billions would translate into cult-like dedication. In some cases it has, try attacking Apple or criticizing Southwest Airlines and you'll see what I mean.
But, most businesses have failed, despite their healthy ad budgets to achieve a fraction of the love my family shows to future Olympians we just met last night.
Here are a few causes:
1. Weak Storytelling:
I believe that consumers want to connect with the people behind the business. They enjoy hearing about the local grocer who only buys produce from farmers in a 10 mile radius. They want to know why a laptop was built with aluminum versus plastic. They care about a company's effort to fight adult illiteracy in their community.
The problem is that businesses have their heads up their arses. They think that abstract soundbites and clever taglines are stories. They aren't.
2. Wrong Hero
Have you ever seen a business Twitter stream choked with self-congratulatory tweets? How about the commercial that waxes eloquent about a company's commitment and 100 years in business? While this information has some merit, it's missing a key component – the customer. Customers pay attention to companies because they solve specific problems.
Successful companies craft their stories around the customers and position them as the hero. Their social media strategies create close bonds with their customers directing them to information that enriches their lives. In these stories, the company is the mentor and ally supporting and guiding the customer.
Pop quiz – who is the hero in the Harley-Davidson story? The motorcycles or the rider? Yep, the hog rider. The motorcycle is a prop that helps the rider live out their dreams of conquering the open road and connecting with other rebels.
3. Monologue versus Dialogue
It's shocking that some companies still question the merit of openly interacting with their customers. Even now companies hide behind perfunctory press releases and turn-off their blog comments. This behavior supposes that customers need to be handled like a live grenade. Customer dialogue is confined to hermetically sealed focus groups and choreographed performances.
The problem is that customers expect transparency. In fact, customers distrust businesses that can't empower their employees. Look to Comcast for a powerful lesson in employee trust and customer dialogue. Comcast knows that the "cable company" isn't on the list of beloved companies. They seem to have the most to gain from carefully staging every interaction.
To Comcast's credit, they committed to a different course. They put their reputation on the line by interacting with customers through their Twitter channel. At any time you can contact a comcast rep via Twitter. These reps are empowered to send offer advice and check on repair status. These conversation happen in plain view for customers and competitors to observe. While Twitter hasn't completely rehabilitated Comcast's reputation it is building the company's position as a customer-centric organization.
Social Media's Secret Sauce
With all of the breathless speculation about the latest trends and tools, It's easy to overlook the simplicity of social media. It really comes down to telling a story that focuses on the customer as hero. From their invest time in creating relevant, informative, and transparent dialogue between your team and customers.
That's the secret sauce and it's critical that you use it now before your competitors do. Right?

Panvimarn Thai Cuisine
4101 N. Bellflower Blvd.
Long Beach, CA 90808
Long Beach, CA 90808
- Sun-Thu 11am-10pm, Fri-Sat 11am-10:30pm

- Beer/Wine
- Parking Lot Available
- Reservations Accepted
From the outside, Panvimarn doesn't look like much. You'd guess it might just be a mom-and-pop hole in the wall with sticky menus and chafing trays where you can get some takeout. But it's quite the opposite. This is a bona-fide Saturday-night destination-a groovy den with the good looks and interior design of a latter-day Vegas nightclub. You'll look cool no matter what you eat, but get the appetizer sampler, featuring shrimp wrapped in a crunchy shell, egg rolls filled with silver noodles, and a satay so tasty it will evoke memories of your last trip to Bangkok.

This JMS application connects remotely to a messaging engine running in a different Liberty Profile. This sample also contains MDB feature (jmsMdb-3.1). It also contains a very simple JMS application, JMSSample.war, which contains couple of servlet for performing Point to Point and Publish/Subscribe messaging.The JMS Servlet provides means to send/receive messages to a queue and also publish and subscribe messages from a Topic. For each of the function, servlet logs the appropriate logs into the console.log
Note that to run this sample, you will need to start the JMSSampleServer.
This sample can be installed onto runtime versions 126.96.36.199 and later.
To run the JMSApp application:
- Extract the sample into the Liberty installation by running the command below from the root of your server installation:
java -jar JMSSampleClient.jar
- Start the JMSSampleClient server by running the command below from the
bindirectory in the Liberty profile installation:
server run JMSSampleClient
- Confirm the application started by looking for the following message in the log:
CWWKZ0001I: Application JMSApp started in XX.XX seconds.
- In your browser, enter the URL for the application (see notes for other actions):
For Point to Point (P2P) - http://localhost:9128/JMSApp/JMSSampleP2P?ACTION=SendMessage
For Publish Subscribe (Pub/Sub) - http://localhost:9128/JMSApp/JMSSamplePubSub?ACTION=NonDurableSubscriber
(where 9128 is the HTTP endpoint on which the JMSSample servlet is running).
- Once you run the above link you should see a completion message on the Web browser.
If you want to know the list of supported actions for P2P enter http://localhost:9128/JMSApp/JMSSampleP2P?ACTION=ListActions for PubSub enter http://localhost:9128/JMSApp/JMSSamplePubSub?ACTION=ListActions.

Essential to polished cake-ing"
by Lucy
The only way to efficiently torte cakes. I cut my deep cakes into 4 1cm layers to allow icing and it would be simply impractical with a knife. Also handy for levelling peaked cakes (if only slicing a sliver off, start the cut with a small knife slit). Excellent product
Published 10 11 2014
Perfect every time"
by Ruth
I wouldn't be without this. I am hopeless trying to cut a cake with a knife it usually ends up on a slant, or worse. But with this you get a cake perfectly cut in half. You can adjust the height too for different sized cakes. There is a tecnique, you have to use a sawing motion and keep it going. But in the end you have a cake perfectly cut in two. Worth buying.

I needed a wider cake wire than the one I already had and this fitted the bill. Unfortunately on first use the wire became loose and baggy rendering the whole thing completely useless. I shall be returning it to the store as soon as I can.

by moldoveanu
Perfect I'm really sorry for the people who didn't like this product but I find it very very practical. I can cut my sponge cakes in no time unlike when I used to do it with a knife and had to be careful not to cut a finger. The layers are very regular now. I strongly advise it.

Waste of Money"
by Linda
The blade is far too flimsy to be of any use. Also mine came with only one silicone foot. I did remove the other one to " level it up" but it was still a waste of money.

A note from the team: Thank you for placing your review. We're sorry the adjustable cake wire hasn't worked as well as expected. We'll be in touch shortly to help.
by MARGARET
It is a shame that the previous customer was so disappointed with the cake cutter because I have found it great. It has served me for about 10 years I think, being used on a regular basis and has only just given up when the wire snapped off its ring holder. The secret is to use it like a knife, pushing back and forth while at the same time rotating the wire like the hands of a clock without putting too much pressure in pushing forward. I am about to order another one. Thank you for such a useful tool.
Published 23 04 2014
by Mrs Creighton
This is a huge let down, after its first use the wire has stretched so much it hangs loosely from the frame. I've tried pulling the frame wider apart but it cant match the wire's length. If 0 stars was an option I'd have used it.

Comments about Real Good Toys Wall House Display Kit - 1 Inch Scale:
This was the first time I've ever made a dollhouse. The pre-cut pieces fit together well and the directions were clear. I did a few things differently than suggested: I purchased asphalt shingles instead of using the included individually-cut roof tiles, and I covered it with a piece of plexiglass so the minis wouldn't become dusty. This was a "memory box" for my sister, highlighting her family's interests and activities, so I attached the plexiglass with hinges at the bottom and with magnets at the top, so she could add momentos as her children graduate and start their own families. She and her husband really loved it!

Challenge: Hydroponics onboard Ships
I have no experience, and am looking for opinions. I am going to sea soon, and want to have fresh herbs and greens. I am considering a hydroponic system. Knowing a ship is not stationary, and hydroponics include water, what system would you recommend? I do not have a lot of space, either.... The goal would be to provide a salad daily for one person for 3-6 months, so... how much space would I need?
Thanks for your time.
Aeroponics would be a good idea for your voyages.
Unlike Deep water culture/bubblers, your won't have a large surface of water that can become turbulent with the changing water conditions,Plus you can use such small space as N.F.T and others would require a bit of a bench space.
you could have your nutirent solution is a container that is smaller then most systems, with a lid to keep the waves on the outside of the vessel.
The catch would be the water pump, assuming you can maintain the generator at all times, this would be low draw seeing how the pump only needs to be cycled. A few mister nozzles in your rooting chamber and you would have it.
Best bet is loose leaf lettuce , going take up a lot less space then the commercial style of whole head lettuce and you can pack them pretty close to one another.
Just my two cents to help a fellow boater :)
Fourteen square feet.
I grew mesclun greens commercially in perlite beds. The seeds were broadcast densely (3-4/sq. inch). Yields averaged about 1/3#/sq ft. per harvest (ranging from 1/4-1/2 # depending on the variety), with subsequent harvests after 2 weeks.
2 oz. is an OK salad size, so let's say each sq. ft. yields 2 2.5 oz. salads. You would need 7 square feet of production of harvestable product, harvest half of the bed one week, the other half the next.
You will get 2-3 harvests out of a seeding, then it is time to tear out and start over. So the timetable is like this
Weeks 1-3 - intial seeding and growout
Weeks - 4-9 - harvest alternate weeks
Week 6-8 - seed and grow out replacement crop in order to ensure continuous availability.
You might give serious thought to growing microgreens instead. You can produce 12 oz. of tiny greens in a space 12" x 21" in 8-10 days. If you want slightly bigger greens, seed the trays more sparsely and allow them to grow for 14 days. You start each crop from scratch, so you use a lot of seed, but it is highly nutritious.
You might want to get ahold of a paperback called "Sailing the Farm." I know it is on my bookshelf, but I couldn't find it on a quick look, so I don't have the author for you. He has lots of ideas for food growing, along with assorted tips for getting along in general. The book is kind of dated as far as info about ports, security, pick-up jobs, bartering, and fuel, but his experience in on-board food growing is timeless.
Don't forget sprouts as a salad source. Very easy to produce continuously, and you only need a film of fresh water. Quite a few kinds seed sprouts can be eaten. Just make sure you don't get seeds that are treated with fungicide!
Email me if you cannot find the book.
Look into a product called Baby Blanket for use as an alternative to growing media. It doesn't take up much room and I think you can probably re-use it by drying it out after harvest and shaking off bits of stems and roots.
If you grow microgreens or sprouts you can easily do this in a space under a bunk, a flourescent a shop light will be enough to green them up and passive wicking or a tiny pump should be all that is required. In enclosed spaces fungus can be a problem with sprouts so seed sanitation and cleaning of the system are important.
I donÂt know how big your ship is, but if you are going out on the ocean the winds & waves it could blow/knock Perlite all over the place. Perlite can be messy even when it is stationary & is very prone to algae. If you could get an aeroponics system to work that would be ideal. Some of the RV stores sell solar panels for RVÂs; perhaps there is something similar for boats. That would help power that pump.
Here's a site i found while searching about hydroponic basil info. It appears to be a large raft with two structures and they grow hydroponic vegetables on board year round, with lots of other efforts. [BioBarge Home Page] I can't confirm which method this is but someone probably can. [Here's a good on deck pic.] There are multiple hydroponic pics on this site.
This is an interesting subject. Conditions are unusual such as varying day lengths (photoperiodism), the constant rocking of the boat, disrupted circadian rhythm, etc. Research on the subject revealed findings as shown in the following URL.
Here is a link that might be useful:
That link is hilarious!! Thanks!! Meantime, should this thread also include hydroponics onboard space ships? Otherwise (14 months later) still can't find much more info about onboard hydroponics. -v
