STOKER SIDE EFFECTS BROKEN ROBOT & FRANK ARBITRAGE TRANCE GOOD VIBRATIONS MARCH 2013 BOX OFFICE 0115 952 6611 WWW.BROADWAY.ORG.UK WHAT'S ON MARCH 2013 01 FROM FRI 1 FROM FRI 8 FROM FRI 8 STOKER (18) Dir: Chanwook Park United States 2013 98m Starring: Matthew Goode, Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska SIDE EFFECTS (15) Dir: Steven Soderbergh United States 2012 106m Starring: Jude Law, Channing Tatum, Rooney Mara ROBOT & FRANK (12A) Dir: Jake Schreier United States 2012 89m Starring: Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon Stoker is an unmissable work from Park Chan-wook, the cult director of Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. There are echoes of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt in the story of India Stoker, a young woman devastated by the death of her father. Then Uncle Charlie arrives to spend quality time with India and her fragile mother Evie. India's instincts tell her that the mysterious Charlie should not be taken at face value and yet she becomes increasingly infatuated with him in a twisted thriller that is not for the fainthearted. Glasgow Film Festival In the tradition of Hitchcock, Side Effects is a psychological thriller/whodunnit, starring Rooney Mara as a woman whose dependence on a new medication for anxiety prescribed by her psychiatrist (Jude Law) unravels the life she shares with her husband (Channing Tatum). Soon a chain of events are set in motion that lead to murder and paranoia, with more than one unexpected twist along the way. The film also stars Catherine ZetaJones. Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. Against the old man's wishes, Frank's son buys him a walking, talking robot, programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and somewhat heart-breaking story. Doha Film Institute FROM FRI 8 BABELDOM (15) IN THE LOUNGE Dir: Paul Bush United Kingdom 2012 80m FROM FRI 8 BROKEN (15) Dir: Rufus Norris United Kingdom 2012 91m Starring: Tim Roth, Cillain Murphy, CONTINUING INTO MARCH CLOUD ATLAS (15) 172m SONG FOR MARION (PG) 93m LORE (15) 109m TO THE WONDER (12A) 113m In his debut feature film, award-winning British experimental animator and filmmaker Paul Bush presents an elegy to urban life. Against the backdrop of a city of the future, a portrait is assembled from film shot all around the world and collected from the most recent research in science, technology and architecture. MON 11, 6.15PM SCREEN 4 INTRODUCTION & Q&A We are pleased to welcome Director Paul Bush who will be participating in a post-screening Q&A. Rory Kinnear The debut feature from award-winning theatre director Rufus Norris, Broken is a powerful drama featuring an outstanding ensemble cast. LFF SONG FOR MARION CLOUD ATLAS BROKEN BABELDOM WHAT'S ON MARCH 2013 02 FROM FRI 15 FROM FRI 22 FROM FRI 22 BEYOND THE HILLS (12A) With English Subtitles Dir: Cristian Mungiu Romania 2012 152m Starring: Cristina Flutur, Cosmina Stratan ARBITRAGE (15) Dir: Nicholas Jarecki United States 2012 107m Starring: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon THE SESSIONS (15) Dir: Ben Lewin United States 2012 93m Starring: Helen Hunt, John Hawkes Palme d'Or winner Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) returns with this magisterial drama about a young Romanian woman who sets out to retrieve her childhood friend from her "captivity" in a remote Romanian monastery, and soon comes into violent conflict with the archaic strictures of this traditional community. A guilty-pleasure thriller for these tough economic times. Richard Gere stars as Robert Miller, a billionaire hedge-fund magnate who juggles fraud, an affair, and the aftermath of a deadly accident. Writer and documentarian Nicholas Jarecki shows great command of tone in his directing debut. Confined to an iron lung, Mark seeks to lose his virginity and employs a sex surrogate to help him do this. A poignant story that transforms a potentially confronting subject into a warm, compelling film. LFF FROM FRI 22 POST TENEBRAS LUX (18) With English Subtitles FROM FRI 15 Dir: Carlos Reygadas Mexico 2012 115m Starring: Nathalia Acevedo, Adolfo Jimenez Castro THE SPIRIT OF '45 (U) Dir: Ken Loach United Kingdom 2013 98m 1945 was a pivotal year in British history. The unity that carried Britain through the war allied to the bitter memories of the inter-war years led to a vision of a better society. Director Ken Loach has used film from Britain's regional and national archives, alongside sound recordings and contemporary interviews to create a rich political and social narrative. The Spirit of '45 hopes to illuminate and celebrate a period of unprecedented community spirit in the UK, the impact of which endured for many years and which may yet be rediscovered today. SUN 17, FROM 3PM There'll be a live by satellite postscreening Q&A with Ken Loach after the 3PM screening. Maverick director Carlos Reygadas (Japón, Silent Light) has created one of the most challenging and indelible films of the year. Post Tenebras Lux ('After Darkness, Light') is a disorienting, kaleidoscopic and stunningly-filmed vision of a family torn between tenderness and violence that won the filmmaker Best Director at Cannes. Leeds Film Festival POST TENEBRAS LUX THE SPIRIT OF '45 WHAT'S ON MARCH 2013 03 FROM FRI 22 FROM FRI 29 IN THE LOUNGE FROM FRI 29 REINCARNATED (15) TRANCE (15) Dir: Danny Boyle United Kingdom 2013 101m Starring: James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson IN THE HOUSE (CERT TBC) With English Subtitles Dir: Francois Ozon France 2012 RT TBC Starring: Kristin Scott Thomas, Fabrice Luchini Dir: Andy Capper United States 2012 98m This intimate documentary follows hip hop legend Snoop Dogg as he undergoes a spiritual odyssey/career reinvention in Jamaica and emerges as the rechristened "Snoop Lion."

The music is iconic, the story inspirational and the man unique. QFT FRI 29, FROM 9PM, CAFEBAR DJ NIGHT: SELECTADISC REUNION To celebrate the release of Good Vibrations we welcome the Selectadisc DJs back to Broadway. Lord Sir Danny of Boyle, as we must call him following his Olympics triumph, is returning to his core job of making films with Trance, a psychological thriller about a fine art auctioneer, mixed up with a criminal gang, who join forces with a hypnotherapist to recover a lost painting. Boyle reunites with screenwriter John Hodges and frequent musical collaborators Underworld, who composed the score. Can it match up to his Olympics opening ceremony, or his much-lauded theatrical production of Frankenstein? In Boyle we trust. Empire Germain is a French teacher who is frustrated with the work of his students, with the exception of shy Claude and his almost voyeuristic writing gifts. Both disturbed and fascinated by Claude's essays about secretly entering the home of his classmate Raphael, Germain encourages his star student's storytelling and the assignments steer increasingly out of control… Kristin Scott Thomas and Emmanuelle Seigner star in the new film from French auteur François Ozon (8 Women, Potiche).

MON 25, 2.45PM, 6.30PM & 8.45PM Haneke turns his careful gaze on an elderly, cultured French couple in their eighties. When she goes into hospital for a minor operation, it sets her on a downward slope of decreased mobility and creeping senility. Painful to watch, but arrestingly truthful.

Climbing Trees…and Ladders of Opportunity
Every day, I come to work in a building named for Frances Perkins. Her biography is on my bookshelf and her portrait hangs directly above my desk. She is the Labor Department's matriarch and lodestar. She wasn't just the first woman to hold a seat in the President's Cabinet. She is one of American history's most influential advocates for workers and their rights.
Unfortunately, not all of Secretary Perkins' contemporaries judged her on her merits. Throughout his presidency, Franklin Roosevelt received many letters of complaint about her. One man wrote in April, 1941: "Would it not be a much more desirable thing to have a man such as Wendell Wilkie holding the portfolio of Secretary of Labor, who from actual experience is familiar with the viewpoint of the laboring man?" (That's the same Wendell Wilkie that the president had defeated in the election five months earlier).
Others were more overt in their sexism. "With all kindness and respect to Miss Perkins, it is the opinion of many that a man should head this important department," wrote another gentleman.
But FDR's confidence in Secretary Perkins never wavered. Nor did Secretary Perkins' belief in herself and her work. "Being a woman has only bothered me in climbing trees," she said. And she continued representing the interests of laboring men – and women – as effectively as anyone before or since. She did so for 12 years, making her the longest-serving Secretary of Labor in the Department's history.
At the Labor Department, we continue to draw inspiration from Frances Perkins. And not just because she fearlessly shattered a glass ceiling, but because the impact of her leadership is still felt in homes and workplaces nationwide. She was the architect of so many important labor protections – unemployment benefits, minimum wage, overtime, pensions and more – that Americans rely on.
So much of our work today is about continuing her legacy and helping women climb ladders of opportunity:
Last September, we extended the Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage and overtime protections to nearly two million direct care workers, the overwhelming majority of them women and about half women of color.
We've established a Women Veterans Initiative to increase awareness of DOL resources among female veteran jobseekers, and to better address the challenges they face.
- We continue to vigorously enforce equal pay laws and promote the welfare of women in the workforce. Since 2010, DOL has closed more than 90 cases of pay discrimination and recovered approximately $3.3 million in back pay from more than 1400 federal contractors.
These efforts all benefit working women, but their impact is in fact much greater. With women now comprising roughly half the workforce, we cannot separate women's issues from the nation's overall economic strength. As President Obama said in his State of the Union address: "When women succeed, America succeeds."
Click here for a fuller list of accomplishment by the Department of Labor.
Tom Perez is the Secretary of the Department of Labor.

Attivio's lead-nurturing through video and Marketo's "buyer-centric lead scoring" exemplified the best B2B tactics used in 2011, writes David Kirkpatrick. Attivio took a 28,000-lead database and re-engaged 13%, adding 500 qualified leads. Marketo segmented its leads into "fit" and "interest" then subdivided into engagement and buying intent to create a list of "super-target" leads.

PORTLAND Two car prowl suspects were caught on camera riding stolen bicycles Wednesday morning and neighbors were hoping the photos may help catch the thieves.
Early Wednesday morning, three bikes were taken from a home and several cars were broken into around Southeast 36th Avenue and Henry Street, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson of the Portland police.
Marcia Michaels was one of the victims. She was woken up Wednesday morning by a phone call warning her that something had set off her silent alarm. She peeked out front and noticed that her gate was open and someone had stolen several items from her garage, including her bike.
She wasn't the only one. About half a dozen people were burglarized in the neighborhood around 6 a.m.
A neighbor who was awake snapped photos of two suspects riding away on some of the stolen bikes.
They appeared to both be white men wearing low-hanging shorts, tall socks and gray hoodies. One of them also had a baseball cap on his head.
Detectives said they don t believe the thefts were related to the recent tire puncture incidents in Woodstock.
More: Tires slashed in Woodstock area
Anyone with information about the incidents or suspects was asked to call Detective Chris Brace at 503-823-0541.

Governor focuses on Race To The Top in radio address
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
Governor Granholm used her weekly radio address to call for the Legislature to approve a package of education reforms soon.
Granholm says the Legislature must pass the bills before Christmas to make Michigan eligible to compete for a slice of $3.5 billion from the federal government.
"This is a competition in which all 50 states are racing to reform their education's systems so our children can compete in a global economy," she says. "Only a small number of states will win this race, and they'll be rewarded well."
Lawmakers say the state could receive as much as $500 million to reform schools. The application to compete is due mid-January.

It is a difficult task to categorize "The Power" into one or two or twenty genres. So difficult in fact that we are forced to make one up special for them. For the sake of argument we shall refer to their musical styling as "melodic popcorn". Yes, that sounds right. "The Power" has fought to the death, the evils of canned music with the forces of melodic popcorn. Their goal is to bring you an entirely unique musical experience.

Padres hand Pirates 9th straight loss, 13-2
PITTSBURGH For the second consecutive night, the free-falling Pittsburgh Pirates were no match for the light-hitting and last-place San Diego Padres.
Kyle Blanks hit a grand slam and drove in five runs as the Padres sent Pittsburgh to its ninth straight loss, 13-2 on Saturday.
Last in the National League in runs and homers, San Diego set a club record for runs in consecutive games with 28, team said in citing the Elias Sports Bureau. The Padres hit a grand slam in consecutive games for the first time in 20 years.
"We talk about contagious, and you see that happening a little bit the last couple of nights," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "There's a feeling amongst the lineup that they are going to give a good at bat and the result is going to be there."
There was an opposite feeling in the other dugout. The Pirates were in first place on July 26, but have dropped 11 of 12 while plummeting out of the NL Central lead. Pittsburgh fell nine games behind division-leading Milwaukee, prompting a players-only team meeting after the game.
"We've got to get back to the attitude we had at the beginning of the season," outfielder Garrett Jones said. "Get our mindset back to where it was. Get that swagger -that was the word we were using - and that attitude of 'We're gonna win every game.'"
Fans at PNC Park booed as the game got out of hand, leaving Pittsburgh at 0-6 on its homestand. Blanks' slam off Chris Resop in the seventh inning made it 11-1.
Saddled with a major North American professional sports record 18 consecutive losing years, the Pirates were as many as seven games over .500 in July. But the team's sudden slump has been just as stunning as its ascension to respectability after losing 105 games in 2010.
"Losing nine is no fun for anybody. But nobody's holding a pity party for us," losing pitcher Paul Maholm said. "I'm sure there's a lot of people that are having fun with the fact we're losing, but we're just going to get over it and come back tomorrow and expect to win."
San Diego has pounded Pirates pitching for five home runs in winning the first two games of the series and have won three in a row overall.
The Padres had not hit a grand slam this season until Chase Headley did it Friday night. After hitting his first homer the day before, Blanks' shot Saturday marked the first time San Diego had hit slams on consecutive days since Aug. 13-14, 1991, when Fred McGriff had both. Cleveland was the most recent team to do it, Sept. 17-18 of last season.
"I feel like the last couple of days before we came on the road I was making some strides in the cage, figuring out some things and applying them in the game," Blanks said. "Now the results do start to matter, and I feel good. I had a couple of good nights in a row, and I just want to continue."

While I was studying abroad last spring in Copenhagen, every morning on my way to school I passed through the busiest train hub, Nørreport Station. Whether on bike, bus, or train, it was always a hectic whirlwind of bodies squeezed onto a narrow island strip between two major thoroughfares, and a prime spot for getting run over by a rogue cyclist. I was delighted to see the winning redesign of Nørreport unveiled last week, a stunning entry by COBE Architects.
Considered neither modern nor contemporary dance, but more circus or rodeo with a dash of extreme sports and Hollywood-esque stunt-work, the STREB company dancers are known to perform petrifying feats of body contortion and athleticism with innovatively designed apparatuses.

One of these is over,under (also the heads behind pinkcomma gallery), a young jack-of-all-trades design studio that is helping Hometta redefine the space between prefab and not. I chatted with Mark Pasnik and Chris Grimley, two of the firm's principals and pinkcomma co-directors.

Planners, designers, engineers, and scholars eagerly feasted on the many workshops and panels that strived to answer the burning question: How can we build livable communities through transportation?
Strolling down Brattle Street in Harvard Square, one can't help but notice the new vibrant swathes of color and fabric trumpeting from the windows of the Design Research Building.
For the next in our unconventional-campus-spaces series, I could not neglect one of Boston's most controversial works, Frank Gehry's Stata Center. Home to MIT's computer scientists and electrical engineers, it has been described as both "an architectural nightmare" and "a metaphor for the freedom, daring, and creativity of the research that's supposed to occur inside it." I chatted with computer science student David Stein who, though doesn't actually live in Stata, has spent countless hours inhabiting and exploring this highly-debated deconstructivist megastructure.
As I scrutinized and stroked the swatches of Ekobe, Green Cell Foam, and Kirei wood on the wall, I knew I was living out the designer's dream -- to indulge in an entire gallery of materials at my fingertips' disposal. Seen at the Better x Design conference in Providence, Rhode Island, this innovative gallery comes in the form of a Materials Petting Zoo, a brainchild of Ecolect, the world's largest database of sustainable materials.
At Dress Codes, the current exhibition and third triennial at the International Center of Photography in New York, I saw a provoking gallery of pieces that critically explore fashion and its relationship to art and culture. Among the radically image-defying works of artists such as Cindy Sherman, Miyako Ishiuchi, and Lorna Simpson, I was unexpectedly captivated by Hu Yang's series, Shanghai Living.

Dacula couple feels cheated after cell tower moved to county land
I understand that the Pennington family feels a loss, but it seems that T-mobile lost interest in working with them when they realized they could have a foot in the door to work with Gwinnett County on a number of projects. This deal will save T-mobile time and money (lawyers fighting for each rezoning) for future towers, bring the county a new source of money and increase service reception that is badly needed in the area. I am sorry for their loss, but agree that this family was naive and a large number of people will benefit.

Father John Corapi was involved in "years of cohabitation" with a former prostitute, repeated abuse of alcohol and drugs and "serious violation" of his promise of poverty, according to a fact-finding team appointed by his religious order.
Corapi has been ordered by the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity to return to live at the order's regional headquarters in Robstown, Texas, and to dismiss a lawsuit against the woman whose accusations prompted the investigation.

OTTAWA — Bill Whatcott is the kind of man who would carry a "Repent" sign to a gay pride parade and preach about the evils of sodomy for the length of the parade.
Whatcott's lawyer Tom Schuck said Whatcott not only did that — the scene is captured in the new documentary Freedom of Whatcott produced by the Moon Brothers — but also his client arrived ahead of the parade to the rallying point and grabbed the microphone.
WINNIPEG — Everyone is forgivable, even society's worst offenders, say the facilitators of a program they believe is a new approach to restorative justice.
Wilma Derksen and Adam Klassen describe Journey to Justice as a group of volunteers with varied backgrounds meeting with prison inmates to explore issues of justice.
OTTAWA — Novalis Publishing celebrated its 75th anniversary at Saint Paul University July 7 at a reception to honour its authors, editors and past and present staff.
Novalis began in 1936 when Oblate Father André Guay, who founded the Catholic Centre at the University of Ottawa, began publishing pamphlets to help ordinary Catholics better understand their faith in a post-Depression era.
OTTAWA - Bishop Raymond Lahey will have to wait several more months in jail before his sentencing on charges of importing of child pornography.
Already postponed from June to early August, the end of the sentencing hearing has been delayed until December because the forensic psychiatrist who examined Lahey is not available on the Aug. 4 and 5 dates that were set aside.
VATICAN CITY - Since the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church and other Christian communities have been seeking the right balance between a truly respectful dialogue with other religions and an obligation to share their conviction that the fullness of salvation is found in Christ.
Pope Benedict has been at the centre of the Catholic Church's search for that balance during his six years as pope and, before that, as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
VANCOUVER — Hard core athletes usually retire when they get "up there" in their sporting years, usually in their late 30s or early 40s.
Not so for Olga Kotelko. The West Vancouver track and field star is in her 90s and believes she can compete forever.
Even in the time of St. Francis de Sales, 400 years ago, people felt they didn't know how to pray. Today, we live in the most secularized of all ages. It is easy to turn to things, not so easy to turn towards God. A million distractions beset us. Indeed, more than a secular age, ours might be characterized as a distracted age.
Still the human heart, yearning as it does for infinity, is tied to the earth. That is true in all epochs. So in his Introduction to the Devout Life, Francis not only wanted to encourage people to pray, he felt he must give them a method.
The "pope's newspaper" is a paper of information and ideas at the service of truth and justice, Pope Benedict said.
Pope Benedict inaugurated the Vatican's online news portal with a click, and then announced the launch with the first-ever papal tweet.

The Center for Digital Democracy (CDD) filed a complaint yesterday asking the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by Nickelodeon and mobile app-maker PlayFirst.
The CDD alleges that the mobile game SpongeBob Diner Dash collects personal information about children, including full names, e-mail addresses and online identifiers, without obtaining parental consent, as required under COPPA.
The online identifiers collected by the app, such as unique device identifiers and device tokens, allow the app to track the behavior of the child and send push notifications to them. These types of online identifiers are considered personal information under COPPA.
This is the second complaint the CDD has filed with the FTC concerning COPPA violations in the last two weeks. The previous CDD complaint asked the FTC to investigate the Mobbles app for gathering and sharing the precise location of children without obtaining parental consent. Both apps were quickly ripped from the app store following the complaints.
In a letter accompanying its new complaint the CDD states that SpongeBob Diner Dash and Mobbles are representative of the widespread disregard of COPPA requirements. Earlier this month the FTC reported that of the 400 children's apps that it surveyed 59% shared geolocation, device ID or phone numbers with developers or third parties, but 80% failed to disclose any information about their privacy practices, including whether parental consent was required.
Proposed amendments to COPPA have been the subject of much discussion and comment over the past year. According to a release from the Federal Trade Commission today, the final amendments are scheduled to be released tomorrow in a press conference at noon. The press conference can be viewed live via webcast at the US Senate Commerce Committee website.

First of all I assume that you mean a British Hunter Medina rather than what the Brits call a Legend and we Yanks call a Hunter.
But in any case, with all due respect, your plan makes no sense at all. Without a keel and a rig the boat would have a miserable motion, and be nearly impossible to move around. The low resistance hulls on sailboats make them extreme rollers once their roll moments of inertia get greatly reduced. Without adding ballast, the boat would be easy to capsize and have no good reason to right herself.
If I were in your position, I would sell the Hunter and use the proceeds plus the money that you would spend to remove the keel and rig and plug the holes,and modify the Hunter's trailer, etc. to buy a small cheap, trailerable power boat. The motion will be more comfortable and it will be far better suited to your goals.

20 Jul Style File: Do's and Don'ts of Metallic
by ATFDC Teen Contributor Monika Bapna
This past season, metallics were big on the runway and slowly made its way to clothing stores like Urban Outfitters and H&M. The rest of the population, on the other hand, has been a little slow on the uptake and I do not blame them; it is a hard piece to style and even harder to fit in with people's daily schedules.
Here are some guidelines/tips on wearing metallic.
1. Opt for a skirt
I have seen metallic done best in the form of a skirt. I am not sure why skirts work the best, but they just tend to counter the otherwise overpowering fabric. Furthermore, they allow a more feminine, body flattering shape, especially a body-con or a pencil skirt, compared to either a shirt or pants.
2. Wear as much neutral as possible
Neutrals are a god's gift when it comes to balancing out heavy patterned clothing. So if you are wearing a fabric as strong as metallic, counter it with more neutral colors. So while wearing a metallic skirt (my favorite example!) go for an all white or black top. Not only does it hold back the intensity of the fabric, but also gives the daring outfit a more familiar touch. Like this outfit from Denim Therapy shows how the dark toned hues work perfectly with the gold metallic top.
3. Pick a color completely opposite from the color of the metallic item
Most of the metallic clothing items tend to be gold, silver or black. For those I suggest, black or white. This sort of goes along with the previous tip, but wearing more subdued colors will balance the extremeness and the oddity of the fabric. Plus, a completely black or white article of clothing with metallic gives a more finished look to the outfit since the colors nicely complement each other. Metallic pants, in my opinion, are the hardest to style. However, they are very well done in the below pictures because of the contrasting, subdued colors.

The secret ingredient for successful small business blogging
Feb 27th
Henneke Duistermaat, {grow} Community Member
The internet world is a very crowded place indeed.
Everyone is pumping out content. Noise levels are soaring.
What can you do if you're a solo-entrepreneur, freelancer, or small business owner? Can you still win business online?
You can't produce as much content as the well-oiled marketing machines. You can't be everywhere on all social media channels. And let's be honest: your content can't always be as good and creative as the content produced by the armies of marketers at big companies.
One-man-bands and three-women-teams may feel that trying to find clients online is an impossible task. They may feel they can't compete in the battle for attention—as if their whispering is drowned out during a hard rock concert.
But small business owners have a secret weapon—an advantage that those big companies rarely possess. Let me explain by briefly side-stepping into restaurants.
Fast-food chains are about efficiency
Fast-food chains cater for the crowds. They're managed on efficiency. Orders are fulfilled quickly and waste is minimized. The interaction between customers and staff is minimal, because lots of chatting is costly.
If I launched a small restaurant, I would do exactly the opposite of the fast-food chains. I'd offer dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients plus a personal selection of Belgian beers and Spanish wines. I'd have pictures on the wall made by local artists and I would try to find wooden chairs and tables in second-hand stores.
As a local restaurant I can't compete with the advertising dollars of a giant restaurant chain. But I can differentiate my restaurant and strongly appeal to a specific audience. Maybe I'd offer candle-lit dinners for romantic couples in their fifties; or I could have a restaurant with hearty meals to welcome local bicycle enthusiasts.
Small business bloggers have an opportunity to specialize and to develop their own small fan club. They can find the people who they most enjoy working with and engage them with their distinct voice.
When we talk about blogging and content marketing, it's easy to focus on the things we can measure: Page views, comments, social shares, number of posts, and subscribers. And if we look at the numbers, then sure: small businesses don't stand a chance to compete with the big marketing machines.
But to win clients with a blog, you don't need to become popular. You just need to build a small club of fans who want to listen to your voice, who are waiting for your next blog post, and who open each of your emails full of excitement.
Blogging doesn't mean you're just writing, pressing that publish button, and promoting your posts. Blogging is two-way communication. It's about building relationships with your ideal readers and understanding what they're struggling with so you can help them realize their dreams.
Competitive advantage through the intangible
But a blog is about more than building authority and sharing useful tips. It's a place to start a conversation and allow readers to get to know you and like you—because of who you are.
It's easy to think about the tangible aspects of a blog such as design, number of readers, and post topics. But what about the intangible aspects?
In the real world a disproportionate amount of value is placed on the tangible. Things we can easily explain, or put our finger on. ~ Bernadette Jiwa
The intangible aspects of your blog show who you are and allow potential clients to warm to you and your blog. For instance: Do you keep a certain distance like a waiter in a posh restaurant? Or do you make new readers feel welcome and at ease? Is your blog noisy and full of popups or are you calm and relaxed? Do you answer comments with bravado or humility? Do you write with passion?
Small business bloggers might not be able to compete on content quantity and they might not be able to compete on quality either. But there's one thing they can compete on: they can let their personality shine through to build meaningful relationships.
They can gain readers because they love hearing the blogger's voice. They can build a community because their blog has a soul. They can win clients because they write with passion.
The truth about small business blogging
Blogging isn't about writing valuable content. Blogging isn't about generating SEO traffic.
Blogging IS about creating human connections.
The secret ingredient of your blog is, of course, your personality. It's YOU.
Only you can produce content that's speaking so clearly, so directly, so personally to your ideal clients. Your personality is unique and nobody can copy who you are. YOU make your blog stand out. YOU win clients.
When you come to my imaginary restaurant, I don't want you to come just for the good food or the free aperitif. I want you to come because you've missed me, because you want me to stop by your table for a chat about your latest business venture or your upcoming holiday.
In the same way, I believe your blog fans don't stop by for a quick snack of tips. They read your blog posts because they want to hear your voice. They stop by because they want to "see" you and have a chat in the comment section.

How to be useful, despite your smartphone addiction
Feb 26th
By Mars Dorian, {grow} Contributing Columnist
Here's a secret. I'm an online illustrator / designer and work with clients from around the planet. American, Canadian, German, British, Australian, French, Jamaican, South Africa, and more. Sometimes I feel like I'm the creative embodiment of the United Nations.
I built my career online by relentlessly networking and improving my craft. I love technology almost as much as I love my mother, and that means a lot. I use my graphic tablet, my Macbook, my iMac. I've got more tech than the Terminator. Except for one thing:
I don't own a smartphone, and it rocks my world.
I'm writing this post on my glorious iMac. It's perma-connected to the web, which means every twenty minutes or so, I switch to the twenty other tabs in my browser and check my Facebook / Google Plus / Twitter / Gmail accounts. I get a lot of work done, but I'm also just as useful outside of work. Without a smartphone, I'm present and engaged in the moment.
I don't own a smartphone because I want to optimize my time. I want to be productive and present, and although the move to ditch the phone seems drastic to some, there are ways for you achieve the same– even with your smartphone.
Here's how:
1. Be deliberate about your sharing.
I read a brilliant novel called The Circle (by Dave Eggers), in which a Google / Facebook-like company becomes more powerful than the state.
Every employee is expected to share everything all the time, because privacy is considered theft. Which means you have to share five thousand times if you're lazy and ten to twenty-thousand times if you care about your company. The employees are passionate but burned out because they have no more time for the essential work. They share their life away.
This happens in reality. Just look around you. A million people around can tweet their faces off, and it has nothing to do with you. Most of the shares are noises that take away from the moment or the task at hand. You don't share because it's valuable, but because it has become a habit. Replace that with a new one.
Ask yourself — will this tweet / share improve this moment or help you create better work ? Nine out of ten times the answer will be no.
So when you do want to share, make sure it has merit. Make you sure you're doing it for a reason other than killing time. Don't become an auto-sharing zombie.
2. Create more than you consume.
I know some "wannabe" creatives who talk about changing the world with their work. One of them, for example, is hooked on TED talks. He once said that watching a TED talk a day keeps stupidity at bay. Unfortunately, it also keeps his productivity at bay.
Whenever I see him at events, he's busy consuming TED talks or other media. He also carries a charger around 24/7 because he's using his phone so often he needs to recharge it two to three times in a single day. When I asked him if he's ever created anything with it, he said he once made a to-do list, but I said that didn't count. It's being busy for the sake of busy-ness.
A smartphone rarely helps you create, but creation is essential. I once said that the poor of tomorrow are the consumers of today, while the rich of tomorrow are the creators of today. So if you must use your phone, find a way to create with it. Write outlines, notes, blog posts or do other stuff that's related to your work.
Make sure you always create more than you consume.
3. Divide your time in shareable and non-shareable moments for maximum value.
Many months ago, I went to a Berlin startup party. Free drinks, indie music blasting from the speakers, and a kick-ass interview session with tech entrepreneurs on stage. The room was full, but less than half of them paid attention to the show. Most people were staring at their smartphones. One guy was so focused on his screen he even walked into the studio wall. Bam.
I learned a lot about entrepreneurship for free that evening, but most people didn't because they weren't mentally present.
Whenever I meet with friends, I tell them – if they want to share a picture or check their updates, they do it once, either at the beginning or at the end of our time together. I refuse to talk to people who walk around like zombies, half-present, constantly sharing and checking updates. I don't get any value out of it, and neither do they.
So whether you're on a date with your partner, meeting with friends, or organizing a work-related function, make it a deliberate choice to divide the time into shareable and non-shareable moments. In this way, you can address their need to share things online while ensuring they're present and active for the remainder. Kick those out who don't comply.
And in Conclusion.
This is not a rant against technology, I love technology. It helped me create my dream career. But when taken to the extreme, the power balance shifts, and what began as something helpful ends up enslaving you. You become a sheep consumer instead of a wolf creator.
What do you do to be useful despite your smartphone addiction? Or, is time to think another way?

Where does social media fit in the marketing mix?
Feb 25th
A number of news items coalesced recently and made me wonder … what is the true role of social media in the marketing mix today?
How has it changed? Is it really about connection? Is it still a way to engage with customers? Or, has it been so overrun by agencies and programmed content that it is little more than advertising?
Maybe you have been wondering the same thing?

- The correlation between share of conversation and market share
- Social media at the top of the sales cycle and at the end of it
- Is social media more like advertising or marketing?
- A case study illustrating the impression power of social media

When does "corporate governance" help or hurt social media strategy?
Feb 24th
I recently had a comment from a reader scoffing at the idea of enabling employees through a "social enterprise" strategy because it ignores the best practices of corporate governance. In other words, the legal department should keep a tight reign on corporate communications.
First let me give you my historical relationship with corporate governance:
1) I have worked with large corporations for 30 years and truly recognize the legitimate place of governance.
2) I am a fan of lawyers. Anybody who has a job to keep me out of jail is cool with me.
3) I recognize many examples where strict rules of engagement with the public are necessary, especially in a regulated environment.
Having said that, many times when executives use an excuse of "corporate governance policies" to reject a social media plan for their company, they are really saying — "I want to hide behind a policy and hope this whole thing blows over."
Hiding behind company policies to justify inaction is a tried-and-true strategy. I've seen it with HR policies, quality policies, and environmental policies. Using communication policies and social media as an excuse for inaction is just the next in line for people who make a living keeping their head in the sand.
Hiding behind policies is an excuse to not change
There is a fine line between true governance and hiding behind anachronistic policies because of a fear of change, which is usually the true nature of the resistance.
I grew up in a world where there was one company "spokesperson" and you could get fired for stepping over that line. I am not dismissing the need for governance when it comes to the SEC, IRS, and when there is a reporter at the door from 60 Minutes.
However, let's look at an example I wrote about recently, where a salesperson from a huge company attracted $47 mm in new business completely through using social networking tools. One of the reasons he won this business is because his competitors were restrained from using these same tools due to "governance." In this case, is governance helping, or is it so far behind the times that the company is at a competitive disadvantage?
In my experience, more often than not, companies are hiding behind policies written in the 1970s without considering the current competitive environment.
"Our employees are idiots"
In one of my classes, a student from a regulated industry said he could not even have a LinkedIn profile because of his wealth management company's communication policy.
"Do they let you attend community networking events?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"Do the lawyers give you a scrip?," I said.
"No, of course not," he chuckled.
"Then what's the difference? If you are not allowed to network online you are being asked to compete with a 1980s toolkit. The real issue is that they are afraid of change and they don't trust their employees. Your company social media policy is 'our employees are idiots'."
He laughed and agreed with my point.
In many companies the real obstacle to success on the social web isn't a lack of direction or budget or resources. It is a fear of change.

iPhone 5 launch draws crowds at Asia Apple shops
Thursday - 9/20/2012, 11:13pm EDT
By KELVIN CHAN
AP Business Writer
HONG KONG (AP) - In a now familiar ritual, Apple's Asian fans jammed the tech juggernaut's shops in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore to pick up the latest version of its iPhone.
Eager buyers formed long lines at Apple Inc. stores in Australia and Japan to be the first to get their hands on the latest version of the smartphone. In Hong Kong, buyers had to sign up online for the chance to pick up the device at a preset time. The first customers were greeted by staff cheering, clapping, chanting "iPhone 5! iPhone 5!" and high-fiving them as they were escorted through the front door.
The smartphone is also being launched in the U.S., U.K., Canada, France and Germany on Friday and will go on sale in 22 more countries a week later. The iPhone 5 is thinner, lighter, has a taller screen, faster processor, updated software and can work on faster "fourth generation" mobile networks.
Order numbers indicate the iPhone 5 has overcome initial lukewarm reviews. Apple received 2 million orders in the first 24 hours of announcing its release date, more than twice the number for the iPhone 4S in the same period when that phone launched a year ago.
Analysts have estimated Apple will ship as many as 10 million of the new iPhones by the end of September.
Some Australian fans went to extreme lengths to be the first to own the new phone, grabbing the first spots in line at Apple's flagship store in downtown Sydney on Tuesday _ three days ahead of the release.
Todd Foot, 24, nabbed the coveted first spot and spent an average of 18 hours a day sitting in a folding chair adorned with an Australian flag, and attempting to catch a few hours' sleep each night in a tent on the sidewalk outside the store.
Foot's dedication was largely a marketing stunt, however. He writes product reviews for a technology website which plans to give away the phone after Foot reviews it.
In Hong Kong, not everyone who lined up was an Apple enthusiast. University student Kevin Wong, waiting to buy a black 16 gigabyte model for 5,588 Hong Kong dollars ($720), said he was getting one "for the cash." He planned to immediately resell it to one of the numerous grey market retailers catering to visiting mainland Chinese buyers. China is one of Apple's biggest sources of revenue but a release date for the iPhone 5 has not yet been set.
Mainland Chinese, who like to shop in Hong Kong because there's no sales tax and because of the strength of the yuan, will probably buy it from the resellers "at a higher price _ a way higher price," said Wong, who hoped to make a profit of HK$1000 ($129).
Tokyo's glitzy downtown Ginza district had not just one long line but two _ one, in front of the Apple store and the other across the main intersection at Softbank, the first carrier in Japan to offer iPhones _ both packed with Japanese determined to be among the world's first to own an iPhone 5.
Hidetoshi Nakamura, a 25-year-old auto engineer, said he's an Apple fan because it's an innovator.
"I love Apple," he said, standing toward the end of a two-block-long line, patiently reading a book and listening to music on his iPod.
"It's only the iPhone for me."
