As business owners, we like to think we know our customers pretty well. After all, we spend much of our day either speaking to them directly or communicating with them by email and on social media networks.
But just how well do you really know your customers? Try answering these questions honestly. Do you know:
You may be able to answer some of these, but few of us can say we know all of the answers for sure — and of course some of the answers may be dependent on our different products and services and are likely to change over time.
Or you might think you know the answers but then be surprised by the results when you gather customer feedback — proving that your assumptions aren't always accurate.
But you don't always have to ask your customers for feedback to get the answers you need. Often your existing data can tell you a lot.
Start by segmenting customers according to the specific products they have purchased. From here you can identify the audience most likely to respond to future direct marketing campaigns, helping you to increase ROI.
You can also identify which criteria means a prospect is most likely to be interested in your product or service, based on your existing customer knowledge. For instance, for B2B customers you can analyse: best sectors, company size, regions, contact types and so on. For B2C customers, you can look at: best income bands, regions, hobbies, ages, social class and more.
This knowledge can also show you where your best cross-selling opportunities are with existing customers.
Ultimately, the more customer knowledge you derive from your data, the better you can identify prospects and target those with the highest propensity to become a customer. This, in turn, will reduce your communication costs, improve response rates and maximise the efficiency of your marketing campaigns.
Antoni Chrysostomou is sales and business development director at Data HQ.
If you're in the business-to-business sector, then customer churn is a major issue. B2B companies are often obsessed with calculating "churn rate" which helps them remain sensitive to customer feedback.
There are three major reasons for churn:
So how can you achieve churn rates that are near zero?
It's important to get your customers on board by under-promising. This is about being realistic and setting expectations for worst case scenarios. This doesn't mean that you conceal some of your product features. The better you under-promise, the higher scope you create for delivering more than what's been asked for. In addition, if your client needs are recurring, good service reinforces your values and creates an affinity within your customer base for your product.
Considering the three main reasons for churn is important during the pre-sales phase. Planning for the "could have", letting clients know about the "can't" and explicitly avoiding "surprises" is key to meeting expectations once a customer is on board.
Knowing the line between a bloat and a feature-rich offering
An offering should be such that it solves an end-to-end requirement without being an overkill. Getting this right is an art not a science and it develops with experience.
Your offering should not come across as directly hitting at competitor's prices. Instead, the pricing should be justified by your product's value as perceived by your customers.
Technologies change faster than anything else. It's important for your product to adapt with the market dynamism, not just because the underlying technologies might be obsolete, but also because newer problems arise in the market.
If your customer isn't doing well in the market, the chances are higher that they will go elsewhere. It's important to get closely involved with your customers' businesses, and keep asking for regular feedback on how well your offering is serving their portfolio. It's worth identifying trigger points that indicate if your customers are using your product enough.
Often, long-term contracts are seen as a way to achieve lower churn rates. While this might work great for cash flows, the issue of churn isn't eliminated this way. On the contrary, from our experience, this creates reluctance and curbs freedom at the customer's end. It's a better idea to introduce notice periods instead so that there's enough buffer time to take action before your customer leaves.
Arpan Jha heads the products and market strategy at PromptCloud.
The pompously named "customer/client relationship teams" just don't get it. In fact, the majority of the marketing team don't get it. That certainly applies to many corporates but it could equally apply to small firms like yours — so read on.
Some marketers just don't understand the whole "customer" thing. This isn't a new fad or a naïve but sales-hungry business school professor's idea of a good wheeze. This is here to stay and until your business gets it then you will lose sales to those businesses that do get it. This is the "it" they don't get:
Meanwhile, like rabbits in the headlights, the large company marketing and customer care departments are frozen stiff, not knowing what to do next.
Your customer relationship is not something that you can outsource and control with service level agreements. Customers want to talk to and relate to you. Otherwise they will feel out of control and believe they have no real relationship with you (and vice versa) and they will tell the rest of the world. And they will vote with their feet.
So, rather than waiting for the consultant's report, how about doing the simple stuff?
Get out there and talk to your customers and clients. Ask them what they think and feel about your product and your service. Stop following the conversations and join in.
They talk about you because they care. You can show them that you care. You can explain what's gone wrong and what you are going to do. But you can't do that by hiding behind the next report. Try it. You'll be surprised.

Lifecycle marketing can:
A brave new concept that is slowly being nurtured by marketers, lifecycle marketing represents the birth of a new era. A drastic shift in marketing, it's a technique that focuses on more than attracting a customer, but on converting them into your own personal brand advocate.
Lifecycle marketing requires thought, research, a hands-on approach, a finger on the pulse and staff that are as excited about a product or service as you are. It isn't easy, but the rewards far outweigh the time and thought it takes to implement such an approach.
Lifecycle marketing embraces the entire customer experience process, not just the sale. It relies on rich customer experiences that transform clients into our best advertising tools.
Customer experience is the sum of all the encounters a customer has with a business. From initial awareness, through to discovery, attraction, interaction and purchase, to use and development, and finally ending in advocacy. So whilst they may not be shouting from the rooftops, a tweet and a positive review on your Facebook page will certainly go a long way in generating leads and attracting new customers.
This isn't all about concepts though, this is about tangible results, and the use of technology to support the business/consumer cycle.
Lifecycle marketing uses lead nurturing pathways and marketing automation technology such as HubSpot to feed tailored content to prospects and engage with them before they buy, when they buy and after they've completed the buying process.
These technical resources provide a platform for tracking and analysing customer engagement, including detailed information about what content leads have read, and when. With technology like this, it's easy to strike up the sort of conversation that your customer wants to be a part of.
Above all, lifecycle marketing is a thoughtful approach — it considers not only the customer experience, but also the employee experience. It relies on a degree of internal marketing that engages employees and motivates them to deliver the best possible customer experience.
Businesses have listened, learned and embraced the idea that the customer is at the heart of the marketing process.
Rhian Morgans is an online PR executive for Tomorrow People.
When I run sales workshops, I always test the temperature of the audience by asking them about their favourite customer; not necessarily the biggest one, but one that they like on a personal level.
This is to help me to get a feel for their business, how they deliver their products and services, and to look at how to replicate their best practices, based on successful customer case studies.
Occasionally some members of the audience look at me blankly and further probing reveals that they actually dislike all of their customers: difficult people, who always seem to be complaining and constantly looking for lower prices.
At this point I feel they are more in need of personal counselling than sales coaching, but do my best to rectify what must be a terrible situation for someone in a small business. In a large organisation you can at least look forward to the pay cheque at the end of the month, whereas in a small organisation, the buck stops with you. There is one consolation: in a small company, you are actually allowed to make some mistakes, so long as you rectify them swiftly.
This was an interesting observation made by Richard Richardson, who has seen both sides of the coin. He had a very successful career in advertising, most latterly with Young and Rubicam. His favourite customer was John Barnes at Kentucky Fried Chicken, and they used to spend many hours cooking up new business ideas, just for fun.
But one idea seemed to have some traction: what about the original British fast food — fish and chips? The best-known name, Harry Ramsden's, was a single large restaurant at Guiseley in Yorkshire, with a few other outlets, differently branded. The owners were looking to sell and Barnes and Richardson saw the opportunity to build a great brand, something they were both passionate about.
They had very complementary skills; Barnes the charismatic ideas man, Richardson the completer/finisher. They shared common values, particularly a love of customers and customer interaction.
They raised some money and then set about building the Harry Ramsden's brand, but without the large marketing budgets they were both used to. They developed a style that they later captured in their book, Marketing Judo — the idea that you use the opponent's weight to your advantage, using leverage, rather than brute force.
They kept the team lean but instilled a sense of customer awareness by insisting that everyone in the 25-person head office called at least five unhappy customers every week.
This caused some bemusement amongst their customers, particularly a gentleman in Bournemouth who had filled in a card to complain about some cold chips at their Bournemouth outlet.
He was so surprised to hear from a director of Harry Ramsden's that he dropped his mobile phone, and then explained that he had just bought a car for £35,000 and had less joy in having problems resolved than for this 70 pence bag of chips. Richardson's simple phone call also generated significant new income as the gentleman's wife resolved to take parties of visiting Chinese business people to Harry Ramsden's.
But Richardson explains that in a small business it is fine to make mistakes, so long as you resolve issues swiftly and personally. He feels that many large companies seem to have an ethos of never admitting failure, which can be disastrous, as customer expectations are increasing all the time.
Once the brand had become established, they decided to grow their business by a franchise model, as it meant that ownership of the brand was closer to the customers; a proven concept delivered by local people. But while the brand can be promoted generally by head office, it is still down to the local entrepreneurs to do what they can, often without much of a marketing budget.
In Marketing Judo, Barnes and Richardson have many tips for doing just this, including extending your offer in interesting ways (the Glasgow branch offered haggis) and providing complementary additional services (arranging coach trips for senior citizens to show off interesting local buildings after a fish supper). They refer to this as "getting the crowd on your side", using emotional leverage rather than just marketing muscle.
If you do this, not only will you grow to love your customers, you will find they will love you right back, and do your marketing for you, by word of mouth.

There always comes a point at any party when you realise numbers are thinning out. Various people, friends that perhaps you haven't had a chance to talk to yet, seem to have gone — just walked out of the door without a by-your-leave or a thanks-for-having-me.
In Poland, according to a good friend of mine, they call this an English exit! I'm not sure whether this says more about our lack of manners or our inability to let our hair down.
But when you think about it, it's what we do all the time as customers — we quietly slip away.
Hosting a party is a bit like running a business — there's tons to do and you can't be everywhere at once. But keeping your guests happy is vital — you can't just conjure up a new bunch of friends just like that. And nor can you easily drum up new customers either.
So how do you keep them satisfied? Here are some lessons that you can apply to parties and your small business:
Guests arrive. You greet them effusively and lead them to the food and drink. You promise faithfully to catch up with them later. And then you forget all about them.
A PR chap I used to know would greet everyone like a long lost friend while at the same time looking over their shoulder to see who else had arrived. Give everyone your full attention, even if it's just for a few minutes. Don't stand there with a glazed look on your face while you mentally tot up how long the booze is going to last.
Why did so-and-so leave early? Was it the food? Was it something I said? Did they go on to another party? Don't get paranoid — get in touch, say thanks for coming and review the night with them.
One of your friends never showed. Perhaps they texted with a lame excuse. Perhaps they hate parties. Don't be bitter. Suck it up and call them. Tell them they were missed, ask how they are, fix up a time to meet and look for other ways to connect with them.
You can't force people to stay. But don't give them a reason to head for the door either — keep the food, drink and conversation flowing. Reward your friends' loyalty. And check the exits!
Cheers! Or na zdrowie as they say in Poland.
Rachel Miller is the editor of Marketing Donut.

Immediate Release**
OPSU Signs Another Top Basketball Recruit
-by Aggie Sports 06/02/06
Goodwell, Okla.- Oklahoma Panhandle State basketball coach
Curt Connor continues to bring in new talent to join the Aggie
basketball program. The latest commitment for the 2006-2007
season comes from Zac Gipson of Waurika, Oklahoma.
The six foot Gipson averaged 18 points, 5.1 assists, 3.7 steals
and 6.2 rebounds a game last season at Waurika High School.
He was Player of the Year in the Southern 8 Conference, an
All-Region pick, and Honorable Mention All-State.
Gipson is also a fine student with his eye on the OPSU School
of Business and law school after that.
His high school coach, Jeremy Hogan,
felt Gipson could play at the NCAA level, and he believes
Panhandle State made a good investment. "I know I was extremely impressed with Coach
Connor and what he's done at Panhandle. They've
been third in the (Heartland) conference the last two years,
and he's opened some eyes in the coaching community," Hogan
Hogan added, "Zac's made a good choice — and
so has Panhandle State."

Pulling up to the tiny Parkview Cafe across from Lincoln Park gives one the feeling that they've suddenly left Milwaukee and have been magically transported to a small roadside cafe in a sleepy Southern Mississippi town; a notion reinforced once you pass through the doors and into the cafe.
The small, clean room is dominated by a horseshoe-shaped counter, with round, backless diner seats spaced around it. There are two booths along the far wall. An old TV set plays re-runs of classic television shows - Dragnet, The Jack Benny Program, and others. The counter and tables are adorned with bottles of hot sauce, maple syrup, and Trappey's hot peppers.
Although there are a few standards, the menu here changes daily, and even hourly, as breakfast gives way to lunch, and then to dinner. There is no printed menu - it's all hand-written on a whiteboard on the wall above the booths. On any given day, it might boast smothered chicken, Catfish, roast beef, pork hocks, black eyed peas, fried okra, short ribs, pancakes, country ham, ox-tails, peach cobbler, neck bones, BBQ chicken, and many other specialties.
There's a reason Parkview Cafe has been around for over 35 years, and, as good as all their selections are, it's probably at least partially due to the fried chicken. It's top-notch, and not only is it the best in the city, it's no exaggeration to state that, although unrated (as of yet), it's among the best in the country. The crispy, crunchy batter is not too thick, but it clings to the chicken pieces and keeps the meat moist and tender. It's perfectly fried to a light golden color, and piled high on a plate. It's not overly greasy, and not particularly spicy, but it is flavorful. Buttermilk is suspected, but has not been confirmed.
The gravy served with the smothered pork chops is rich and flavorful, and the pork chops are hammered to a tenderness that needs no knife to cut them. Dip the fried chicken in the gravy, and add a dash of hot sauce for a extra tasty concoction.
There is a choice of three sides with every entree, and the greens are highly recommended. They are not too bitter, and go well with the moist cornbread that also accompanies every meal. Add some of the vinegar from the bottle of Trappey's, along with a few hot peppers. Other sides include potato salad, boiled okra, sweet peas, green beans, spaghetti, and yams. The yams, if they are ordered, should be savored last, as they are sweet enough to qualify for dessert.
The prices here are reasonable, especially considering most people take home leftovers. The service is very friendly, but do not go here if you are in a hurry, as there is one chef in the kitchen, and everything is made to order. It's worth the wait, though. The atmosphere is relaxed, with regulars talking and joking to each other across the room, and occasionally yelling into the kitchen at the more-than-patient cook.
If you like fried chicken and Soul food, the Parkview Cafe should be at the top of your list.

Help us continue to provide our children with opportunities to thrive — outside, as well as inside the classroom.
Tonight, a teenage boy is dreaming of becoming a civil engineer and building skyscrapers. A young girl has a new goal of becoming an accountant in international business. Yesterday, neither knew anyone with those careers. Thanks to a variety of career days sponsored by Catholic Charities of New York, teens have opportunities to meet with professionals who broaden their horizons — and get them excited about their education and job prospects.
Consider a monthly donation of $25. This could supplement a full year of services for a child. We also offer after-school programs, sports and mentoring. New York is full of opportunities — if you know where to look.
Our mission is to open the eyes of these youngsters and help them dream big.

Comments about National Geographic Laser Pegs: Oceans:
Purchased for great-nephew because he asked for Lego light up blocks. This was cheaper and looked interesting because of the variety of projects. Dismayed to find only one set of instructions included; had to go to internet for the rest (I copied them and included with gift). Not sure if age was appropriate; he's 5, but had some difficulty putting some parts together.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's time for youth groups to form teams for a competition that addresses the STEM education challenge our nation faces. But in a fun sort of way.
Registration for the premier National Youth Cyber Defense competition, CyberPatriot, is underway with over 400 teams are already registered for CyberPatriot VII. Established by the Air Force Association, CyberPatriot was created to excite, educate, and motivate the students who will become our country's next generation of cyber leaders.
The Air Force Association's CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Education Program announced the results of its survey of middle and high school students, assessing their growth in cybersecurity knowledge and career interest through participation in this program. Results indicated that after participating in the CyberPatriot program, the majority of students felt more confident in their knowledge of cybersecurity principles and more inclined to pursue STEM and cybersecurity careers.
Before the competition, only 14 percent of the participants surveyed answered that they possessed "a lot of knowledge" or "an advanced understanding" of basic cybersecurity principles. After the competition, students assessed their knowledge far stronger, with that number jumping to 70 percent. Post-CyberPatriot numbers leaned in a favorable direction in understanding of the career opportunities with 94 percent believing they now had "some," "a lot," or "strong" understanding of career options.
How the Competition Works
A CyberPatriot team consists of a Coach and two to six students enrolled in the same middle school, high school, or other approved educational organization. Neither Coaches nor Competitors need any special technical background. CyberPatriot provides the training materials needed to prepare a team for a competition and encourages Coaches to work with technical Mentors who register on the CyberPatriot website to volunteer to help train teams for competition.
Preliminary rounds are conducted online from the teams' home locations. The competition has a tournament-style tiered structure, so teams advance based on scores from each round until the top 28 teams are identified. Those top qualifying teams then receive all-expenses-paid trips to the CyberPatriot National Finals Competition held in the Washington, DC area, in March 2015.
Teams also benefit from the expertise of the competition's sponsors, including the Northrop Grumman Foundation, CyberPatriot's presenting sponsor, which has contributed mentors, internships, and scholarship money to the competition.
All U.S. high schools, middle schools, and approved home school programs are invited to participate.

Program targets kids caught between Medicaid, insurance
DALLAS (AP) - The state of Texas is working to establish by next June a program to help assure medical care for more than one million children from families too rich for Medicaid but too poor for insurance.
The nonprofit organization, called the Texas Healthy Kids Corp., is modeled on a successful plan in Florida, home to about 800,000 uninsured children.
It is being set up under a bill signed into law June 2 by Gov. George W. Bush to help middle-class and low-income families buy affordable children's health insurance.
In Texas, about 1.3 million kids have no insurance, one-tenth of the national total, state officials said.
Tyrette Hamilton, acting director of Healthy Kids Corp., told The Dallas Morning News for a story in Sunday's editions that most uninsured children live with one parent. However, about one in four live with two working parents who earn as much as $35,000 a year.
''They have no alternative, nothing available to them,'' she said of the families. ''If they buy insurance from private companies, they can't afford the premium. In some examples they can't get it. There are no health plans designed just for children.''
Deborah Sosa, a Duncanville nurse and single mother, said her employer, a surgeon, doesn't offer health insurance and she doesn't earn enough to buy health insurance on her own for her three teen-age children.
''The average for all four of us would be $260 to $300 a month,'' Ms. Sosa said. ''I'm a middle-class, single parent trying to make things work, and I can't afford it.''
Florida's Healthy Kids plan has been in effect since 1991. Parents pay as little as $5 a month and up to $50 a month premium per child, depending on their income. State and local governments subsidize premium payments for lower-income families.
In Texas, parents will pay an enrollment fee, assessed over a period of months in payments of about $3, along with a monthly premium of about $50 per child. They also will pay no more than $5 a month for a ''premium stabilization account'' that will loan money to families who might not be able to afford the premium in a particular month.
Texas will provide $4.6 million in start-up costs for its Healthy Kids plan. But unlike Florida, the nonprofit corporation will not be supported by the government. Instead, it will be expected to become self-sustaining with donations from private sources.
''The corporation is set up to accept gifts, grants and donations - all kinds of things that would encourage community support,'' said Ms. Hamilton, former deputy commissioner of the Texas Department of Insurance. ''It could be a local church that buys coverage for two children or a corporate sponsor to buy coverage for numerous children.''
Healthy Kids Corp. will arrange with private insurance companies in various regions of Texas to provide care through the doctors, hospitals, laboratories and clinics on that plan, Ms. Hamilton said.

It's a part of me
It's a part of you
A collective need
To restore our dreams
And I watch you all
When you lose control
Sensing light beyond
Revelations gone
Come, come grovel, crawl in front of me
Come my children, your souls belong to me
With a sigh I pass
To the other side
Forever sleep
In the withering void
And we take the fall
Neglect our call
Our purpose told
To friend and foe
Our fate unfolds
What our dreams uphold
We create a god
For the sake of all

104 Central Avenue
New Rockford, North Dakota
Nathan's Burgers and Ice Cream
Have you ever had the dream to run and manage your own business? Well this may be just what you have been waiting for. This is the type of business the owners could easily run with part time help. The present owners have all the machines and equipment in tip-top condition as everything is well maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. There should be no surprises. The current owners will stay and train the new owners until they feel comfortable to take over on their own.
The business has been in the New Rockford community for years as it started out as a Dairy Queen, well guess what there are no longer those DQ franchise fees to pay, keep that money for yourself.
The schedule that is presently followed by the owners is they Open for business in March and close before Thanksgiving; however the building has been renovated and is set up so that it could be open 12 months out of the year. The hours of operation are 11:00-8:00 with summer hours going from 11:00 to 9:30. The business is situated right on US Highway #218 with constant traffic passing by, with Devils Lake being the fishing hotbed in North Dakota. There are many travelers heading to the fishing hole who are stopping for a quick treat or meal before they push the boat in the water.
The building has had vinyl siding installed along with insulation and metal soffits, this certainly makes the exterior pretty maintenance free. There is a large paved parking lot as the business sits on a 75 x 140 lot.
The customer serving area has ceramic tile on the main serving area where the customers get waited on, while the dining room has carpet, with a nicely decorated dining area, the maximum seating is for 32, this includes tables as well as booths. The front serving area and kitchen have all had walls redone with a beautiful clean looking brick decor; it shines like all of the other equipment.
The menu consists of short orders, burgers, fries, sandwiches, soups, tacos, and ice cream treats as well as daily specials. The machines in the serving area include an ice cream machine, slush machine, a cooler that has inserts for the toppings that stay chilled and fresh all the time; there is an ice machine as well as a topping dipping machine with three flavors for those people who like a little more than just a plain cone.
There are two large pizza ovens and a pizza preparation table and cooler. You order the pizza you want and they will make your pizza from scratch just the way you like it, you can eat it in the dining room or take it with you.
As you head back into the kitchen area, there is a broaster for that famous broasted chicken, there is a stove top grill and oven along with side burners. The charbroiler makes those good tasting charbroiled burgers. There is also a deep fryer for many of the quick items they can prepare for you, never to get the deep frying wrong there is a set of controls that perfectly sets the time for the food you are preparing. There is a sandwich work center with all the ingredients at your fingertips. Just next to that are a set of heated canisters that will keep the cheese warm and ready for those nachos as well as the other one holding warm meat for those tacos.
The owner cleans daily and does weekly maintenance and upkeep on all of the equipment, with this taking place you are always on top of your business which certainly eliminates down time. They employ approximately 10 part time staff members, many of which are students who are on a break from school. The owners basically manage the business, while they do all of the bookwork and the majority of the maintenance, the help is depended on for much of the day to day operations. This is where a family combination would certainly be able to handle much of this work.
The building has two central air conditioning units, it has a 200 amp electrical service, and is heated with a high efficiency forced air furnace that operates on natural gas. There have been a couple of new windows installed as well as insulation and new vinyl siding. The Ansil system is basically new as it was installed a few years ago. There are a number of coolers, refrigerators and freezers throughout the building. When looking at the building everything goes with the building for the sale price with the exception of the inventory which fluctuates daily, on the day of closing the new owner could purchase the inventory available. There is a soup warmer that does not belong to the owner, however the person who does own it would sell it if the item was needed by the new owner. The daily revenue generated certainly makes this a business to consider.
With the upcoming activities and construction around New Rockford during the summer this may be just the jump start you would need to get yourself up and running, don't hesitate or your neighbor may be taking the step instead of you!

I'm looking for a USB camera which can check 180 degrees on 2 axises.
To make this a programming question, I'll ask for a good camera which can check 360 degrees on 2 axis with a good API.
How can I achieve that with a computer?
Edit :
I'd like to have the user check the camera for me instead of programming it correctly in 3d vision. 3d vision is rather hard to get to work perfectly so for now I'd like to concentrate on having the robot behaving correctly

Traveling on Paradise Island of Bali seems incomplete if you have not had time to enjoy lawar delicacy. It is a distinctive and familiar food of Hindu community in Bali. Traditional stalls certainly offer this unique menu. Sometimes, restaurant and hotel also present it, but it has been tailored to meet the international flavor so that it can be enjoyed by people from different countries.
Even, every organizing feast related to customary activities and Hinduism like Galungan, Kuningan, Sarasvati, Pagerwesi and humanity ceremony, lawar definitely graces the event because it is an obligatory offering to God Almighty as an expression of gratitude. After that, the meals are eaten together.
There are different types of lawar whose name is adjusted to the ingredient in use. Well, one of them is the lawar nyuh made of coconut that can be enjoyed anytime. When served with porridge or rice bag, it fits perfectly on the tongue. Uniquely, every region in Bali has a method and different recipes in preparing the coconut lawar. Some mix it with pork skin, chicken meat, or chicken lungs and liver.
Its main ingredient is young coconut mixed with base genep (Balinese basic spice). It consists of herbs and natural ingredients such as garlic, aromatic ginger, lemongrass, pepper, turmeric, nutmeg and chili. How to prepare it? First of all, finely ground all spices and then fry. To make it more palatable, mix well with sambal embe (fried shallot).
Furthermore, the chicken lungs and liver are boiled until cooked. Then, drain and slice them into small pieces. The chicken lung and liver slices were smeared with fried herbs. After that, mix the chicken meat with chopped coconut evenly. Add chili sauce, lime juice and fried shallot to give fresh scent. Ultimately, the coconut lawar is ready to serve. (BTN/ocha/15)

Wining & Dining: Celebrity Cruise's Executive Chef Dishes on Top Chef and More
March 12, 2014 | By Anthony Cave | 1 Comment
Chef John Suley seems to be everywhere on the foodie scene these days. Celebrity's associate vice president for food and beverage operations has led a team that cooked at the prestigious James Beard House (twice), headed pop-up restaurants in New York City and San Francisco and still manages to develop menus for Celebrity's fleet at sea too.
Now Suley is working on the line's "Top Chef" partnership formed with Bravo TV, and also putting together the new private dining room that Celebrity will be rolling out for suite guests next year. We caught up with Suley last month at a Food Network South Beach Wine and Food Festival Backyard BBQ event aboard the Celebrity Reflection at PortMiami.
Q: Talk about the Top Chef at Sea partnership. What can cruisers expect?
A: "We'll have four branded cruises with Top Chef contestants, you know, some of the highlights, or the star chefs, of those particular seasons. At the same time, we'll have branded Quickfires and different types of touch points and elements on every single Celebrity cruise with the partnership with the Top Chef. Throughout the [main] dining room, there'll be one dish that will be on the menu that will rotate, and it'll be highlighting different types of Top Chef contestants. It'll be their recipes and it'll be our chefs executing the Top Chef-inspired dishes. I think it's extremely exciting; it kind of puts the stake more in the ground about the culinary kind of footprint."
Q: Has the focus on specialty restaurants lessened the main dining room experience?
A: "That's actually a really good question. I think the main dining room is just as important as the specialty restaurants even though there isn't a cover charge. If you think about it, we serve 21 dishes every day that rotate. We have a left side menu with the classics, if you want a broiled salmon or a simple grilled New York strip steak with a baked potato – we have that. Then we have our SPE offerings on the ship, where we have a healthy version [of dishes]. I don't know any restaurant in the world that I've ever worked at that rotate their menus every single day for the guests."
Q: Walk us through an SPE Certified dish. Can passengers really have it all?
A: "It's a healthier style of eating – and it should be the way we're eating. Instead of having a 12-ounce New York strip steak, the portion is only 4.5 ounces. Or a piece of fish is only four ounces. This is kind of what it's about, eating what you should be eating on the plate with your right amount of vegetables You could still have starch, people think, 'hey, you can't have any starch.' There's no butter in the appetizer or the entrée, we save that at the end for the dessert so that you can have a well-balanced meal.
Q: How has cooking at the James Beard House lured cruisers to Celebrity?
A: "I think that really brings a different type of concerning customer onboard that really focuses on the culinary, the food and beverage experiences. We were the first cruise line to do the James Beard dinner; actually we did it two years in a row, and we got invited again to do it this year, so three times a charm."
Q: What do you see as the future of cruise ship dining?
A: "I think, for us, in the future, it's really just maintaining the integrity of the food. Not overcomplicating it, really dealing with trying to get as much locally sourced product in at any given port and tell that story. For example, we're in Alaska, we get Alaskan halibut, there's so many different varieties of salmon we can have. So, we really want to bring that product onboard and tell that story to the guests so they have that memory when they're in that specific port."
Q: Beyond Top Chef, what's next on Celebrity's 'plate'?
A: "We're going to be doing, early next year, a suite private dining, where we're going to have a private dining room just for suite guests. We're actually configuring the space right now somewhere on the ships [through the whole fleet], so we're going to take an existing space and then we're converting that into a whole new dining experience. It's really going to be global cuisine that the menu will change and it'll be dishes that you can't get from anywhere else."

CU-Boulder aerospace engineering sciences Professor Kristine Larson developed a clever method of using GPS (Global Positioning System) signals to measure snow depth.
In 2009, Larson and her colleagues discovered that the GPS signals that fail to hit a receiver and bounce off the Earth's surface could be used to measure snow depth, soil moisture and vegetation moisture.
Larson also pioneered the method of using GPS to chart minute plate tectonic and volcanic movements over time, worldwide.
The Mesa County Surveyor's Office in Grand Junction, Colo., has an intricate network of 23 stationary GPS reference stations, or receivers, both in and around Mesa County. Larson, in January, contacted the Mesa County Surveyor's Office with the intent to help the public.
In a CU-Boulder press release, Larson said, " I knew that most surveyors use the exact same equipment I do, and I looked at this as a chance to help out water managers, farmers and others on the Western Slope interested in information like spring runoff and crop moisture. I'm certainly not the only one measuring snow depth in Colorado, but now we have some free extra data that can help experts not only assess potential flooding events but also anticipate possible water restrictions in years of low moisture."
Originally developed in the 1970's for the military, GPS operates today by gathering signals simultaneously from 31 operating, orbital satellites.
The current GPS system in Mesa County is accurate to less than one centimeter- the width of a dime - over several hundred miles.
Mesa County Public Works Department surveyor Frank Kochevar, the administrator for the county's Real Time GPS Network (a network of over 28,000 square miles), was immediately interested in the project.
Kochevar said in a press release, " When Kristine contacted me to see if I would make our GPS data available to her, it was a no-brainer. I'm always interested in new ways to use this technology."
Larson needed the signal strength data that had not hit a receiver before bouncing off the snow. It is a bit of data that GPS surveyors and engineers are able to ignore.
It took Kochevar only minutes to change the logging strategy of the Mesa County GPS System, thereby, making it available to Larson on a daily basis.
Larson said, "The people in Mesa County have been nothing but good to me. And we both put our data our there for the public good, so people can better do their jobs."
Larson posts the snow depth data daily from about 10 Mesa County Stations.
Federal government groups that are utilizing Larsons public snow-depth data include meteorologists and climate scientists from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) in Boulder and NASA.
Kochevar believes the data is of value to local and state government agencies that deal with water storage, in particular, the Colorado and Gunnison basins.
Larason also works with data obtained by UNAVCO, a National Science Foundation and NASA-sponsered facility in Boulder. The EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) is operated by UNAVCO. PBO is a network of approximately 1,100 GPS receivers in the western United States.
UNAVCO monitors constant motion of the colliding Pacific and North American tectonic plates using seismometers and strain meters. UNAVCO instruments are in place along the San Andreas Fault in California as well as in Yellowstone National Park that lies between Wyonimg and Montana. The equipment in Yellowstone, however, not only calculates daily snow depth and vegetation and soil changes, but also calculates "ground inflation" caused by magma moving within the Yellowstone volcanic system.
Last year, Larson developed a method for measuring the density of volcanic plumes using GPS.
"This is my baby, " Kochevar said. " I live for this network."

It's already been a couple of weeks since we've seen Rayna , Juliette and the gang from the Bluebird on "Nashville" and the show won't be back on this week either, strictly speaking. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on April 22, that members of the cast will instead give a concert and then discuss the music writing process instead.
The concert show, titled "Nashville: On the Record" will air Wednesday night, April 23 in the show's usual 10 p.m. time slot. The performances will be given at Nashville's (the city, not the show) famous Ryman Auditorium. Formerly known as the Grand Ole Opry House, the venue has seen performances by some of country music's most iconic performers including Johnny Cash, The Statler Brothers and Dolly Parton to name a few.
So who can fans expect to see when they tune in to the "Nashville" concert? Most of the show's leading cast members will participate in the musical undertaking. Hayden Panettiere (Juliette), Charles Esten (Deacon), Clare Bowen (Scarlett), Sam Palladio (Gunnar), Jonathan Jackson (Avery), Chris Carmack (Will), Will Chase (Luke) and Chaley Rose (Zoey) will all perform numbers they have previously performed in the show. Notably missing from the roster is Connie Britton (Rayna).
Following the performances, many of those who took the stage will sit down with the writers of those songs at the famous – and real – Bluebird Café. They will be discussing the writing process and how the show's great music is created. The Washington Post listed the event as one of the TV highlights for the evening.
ABC currently offers a web series "On the Record" which follows the whole process for certain songs that appear on the show. It starts with the guitar demo and follows the process through to the music video for the show's original songs.
As for the series itself, the show will pick back up next week following Scarlett's horrendous breakdown on stage. Tune in on Wednesday, April 30 to see the next new episode of "Nashville."

Usually, we'd insist that there's nothing better than a cup of coffee sipped from our favorite mug. But we're changing our tune because our breakfast blend tastes mighty good after being poured from the Whimsy Floral Thermos ($19). The vintage print makes us feel like we've got it all together while we're on the go, and it keeps our coffee piping hot until we've got time to slow down and savor it.

What you have to do is download and extract the 3booter zip to your sims 3 root directory which is : local disk c/program files/Electronic Arts/the sims 3.
Then download the fpslimit zip and extract to the same place.
Then to run the game just double click the 3booter icon.. if you get sick of going into your game directory to start the game just make a 3booter shortcut on your desktop.
Hope this helped.

Miguel Cabrera needed four hits coming into Friday's game to reach 2,000 for his career. The calendar said April 4, so it seemed like the perfect day to collect four hits.
No problem for baseball's almost $300-million man, as he went 4-for-5 in the Detroit Tigers' 10-4 crushing of the Baltimore Orioles. Hit No. 2,000 came in grand form, as Cabrera blasted a homer to left field in the eighth inning for two of his three RBIs.
Cabrera is 30, he'll be 31 later this month, and getting to 2,000 hits when he did makes him the seventh youngest player to reach the plateau. He's the ninth player to hit 2,000 before age 31, a list that includes Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Mel Ott, Hank Aaron, Joe Medwick, Jimmie Foxx, Robin Young and Alex Rodriguez.
There's also this:
Yep, that's why Miggy gets paid the big bucks.

This work represents a woman standing on her right leg, the other bent at the knee, with the foot placed against the standing leg. Three long scarves hang from her waist, one of them reaching the ground behind her. The upper half of her body, with both hands extended and head leaning back, is twisted around to her left, so as to almost face behind her. The subject and its treatment partly recall the sinuous style of Art Nouveau around the year 1900, but can also be seen as related to contemporary work by Picasso and certain Surrealist artists, including Masson and Miró.

Genre filmmaking is always such a unique proposition as even the simplest of premises with films that get forgotten about can produce some pretty solid results. "The Final Terror" takes the young nubile teens camping in the woods motif and makes it gritty with some realistic tension thanks to a surprisingly talented group of people on the brink of stardom.
A group of young campers out for what they hope will be a fun filled weekend find their plans spoiled as these particular woods are inhabited by a disguised and merciless killer who stalks the forest and sets booby traps in the hope of finding new victims and fresh blood. Before long they are caught up in an unrelenting web of bloodshed and murder and it is up to the remaining few campers to defend themselves and find a way to put in an end to a blood curdling and violent weekend that they will never forget.
It's a straight forward premise, and despite some minor hiccups "The Final Terror" is a decent little thriller with a surprising amount of familiar faces that make this crazy trip into the woods a fun one, even though it isn't all that memorable.
Director Andrew Davis, who also shot the film himself under a pseudonym made this low budget thriller look and feel, well beyond its budget as everything just felt large scale and the tight knit trees and close quarters only ramped up the tension where it was necessary. The script was admittedly basic as the dialogue never really landed and none of the characters truly stood out but it all plays out well enough as it certainly isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, just get us from Point A to B without as little fuss and not too much muss.
The cast was solid and filled with familiar faces like Darryl Hannah, Adrian Zmed, Mark Metcalf and Joe Pantoliano and they all played into their parts well. However when it is killer in the woods scenario there just aren't a lot of variations on the theme and from a character standpoint everyone just has to do their job and no one really gets to standout.
It's a fun and well executed little thriller, but there isn't anything about "The Final Terror" that truly stands out to anyone other than the hardcore fan base.
2 out of 5 stars.
The picture and sound quality are quite good on this release and the special features include interviews with actors Adrian Zmed, Lewis Smith and post production supervisor Allan Holzman as well as composer Susan Justin. There is also a feature length commentary track with director Andrew Davis and the theatrical trailer.
"The Final Terror" is now available on DVD/Blu-Ray Combo Pack from all major retailers.

Polo Mom Poolside at 18th Maccabiah
The games go on. It's Day 5 of the Chai Maccabiah and box scores can be found for most events in the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz. Just as the games go on, so do the snafus and foul-ups.,
On Tuesday morning, just as the Israel-Mexico softball match was under way, local cops showed up and stopped the game. Seems like the Maccabiah officials hadn't procured the necessary business license from the local municipality. After a battle of quotes in local papers, the problem was sorted out when the necessary license was procured and the softball series resumed today.
The Indian delegation of cricketeers handily dispatched the Israeli cricket team. Steve Soboroff, who put together a 45-minute email fundraising campaign to bring them to Israel, said that this was the only time he was glad to hear that Israel was defeated.
Anywhere you go in Israel, you will see groups of Maccabiah athletes and supporters—at the shuk in Tel Aviv, at Yad Vashem and at the Kotel. They are here in large numbers and not all Tel Avivians are thrilled about the extra congestion they bring to already clogged city arteries. Hard to believe, but traffic here is much worse than L.A.
But I'm here as the mother of an athlete, so my time is spent schlepping by sherut out to the Wingate Institute (the country's national sports facility) to watch the water polo matches. And a disclaimer: I'm also not a sports reporter, although I've spent a lot of time in bleachers over the years watching my boys play baseball, basketball, soccer and water polo. So if I give offense, by deviating from customary observations, please excuse. Unlike hockey moms, we're not pitbulls with lipstick—but we do have our opnions.
The US men's team beat the Canadian team 18-12 on Tuesday. The Canadian players are, shall we say, "mature"—with many of them in their mid-30s and one of them meeting the mid-century mark. They were out-swum by the US team which is younger and far fitter. Let's just say nobody will be calling the Canadian team to do a calendar shoot, with a few exceptions.
On Wednesday, the US took on Brazil, which gave a good effort, but went down to defeat 14-5. Brazil put the first ball in the cage, but soon Adam Metzger and Nestor Dordoni scored two apiece and ran up the score to 4-1. By the end of the first quarter, the US was in control. By the end of the game the score went like this:
Adam Metzger (Cal '00) 2
Things could get interesting in the water polo final. The US team just beat Israel 8-6. The US team has not won the final against Israel since 1973. Seventeen-year-old Spencer Borisoff, called "mighty mouse" by his teammates scored two points. Spencer is from La Canada in L.A. County and will be joining his older brother, Devon, on the USC squad this fall. He is the youngest of the three SoCal brothers who all play at high levels of competition. Their counterparts in NorCal are the Platshon brothers—Kevin, Aaron and Scott—who respectively play or played for Cal ('07), Bucknell ('05) and Stanford ('13) and all of whom have berths on this Chai Maccabiah squad. Ever reliable Nestor Dordoni scored 2; Zach White scored 1 and Kevin Platshon scored 1. The final will be played at Wingate after havdallah on Saturday.

The Utah Jazz search for a head coach has begun in earnest, according to several sources. ESPN reported on Tuesday, May 13 that the one and only John Stockton has been approached by Jazz brass as a potential replacement for Tyrone Corbin.
Just after Corbin was relieved of his duties, another interesting name with local ties came to the forefront. Former Utah Utes head coach Jim Boylen -- now a San Antonio Spurs assistant -- was named as a potential target for the Jazz head coaching job. Whether Boylen was a smokescreen is up for debate since things went so badly at the University of Utah -- but there is no question he's a good NBA assistant.
After that, Ettore Messina, the current CSKA Moscow head coach and former Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach had his name mentioned around town as a potential Jazz head coach. And on Wednesday, May 14 yet another name splashed across local newspapers, as current Chicago Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin, a former Bulls player, was also mentioned as a replacement for Corbin.
If you're counting at home, that's four potential candidates right there -- not including Jeff Van Gundy, Doug Collins or the other former NBA head coaches now plying their trade in the broadcast booths at ESPN/ABC/TNT or some configuration therein.
What the Jazz head coaching search is in a nutshell is confusing -- and that four of the five afore- mentioned candidates have never, ever been a head coach in one single NBA basketball game makes it all the more maddening for Jazz fans. That said, it looks like Little John from Gonzaga -- and four others -- appear to be the early front runners for the job. Click on the photos to see how they all stack up.
John Stockton
Unlike all of the other candidates, John Stockton has one advantage that the others don't. The Jazz are notorious for hiring their head coaches in-house. When Frank Layden quit, guess who replaced him? His assistant, Jerry Sloan. You know the rest of the story.
As for Stockton, the knock against him -- if there is one -- is that he has never coached one NBA, college, or even high school game in his life. Did that stop Mark Jackson or Isiah from taking jobs as head coaches? OK, maybe those were bad examples. But, it has been done before and Stockton does know the Jazz inside and out.
Ettore Messina
Messina is the attractive choice simply because he's had resounding success in the European leagues -- and has had one season on the sidelines as an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers. Like Jerry Sloan, Messina is a no-nonsense taskmaster -- and that worked very well in Utah -- but the Jazz do seem to hire their coaches in-house.
That is, until Lindsey came on the scene. And as you have seen, he is not squeamish when it comes to making personnel decisions. So Messina does make sense in that he would fall right into what Lindsey is doing to make the Jazz more like his old employer, the San Antonio Spurs, in terms of development.
Jim Boylen
Boylen appears to be Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey's favorite candidate -- they go way back to when Boylen was an assistant coach in Houston and Lindsey was the assistant GM -- but you cannot deny the feelings that locals have for Boylen after his one and only head coaching job at the University of Utah ended in disaster.
Boylen is now an assistant with the Spurs -- and he would have two things going against him if the Jazz were to hire him as their next head coach. One is it isn't an internal hire -- as the Jazz have been wont to do -- and second, he has a history here, and it isn't necessarily good.
Adrian Griffin
The former Bulls player and current assistant coach has become a person of interest in the Jazz head coaching search over the past few days.
According to reporter Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Lindsey is seeking help on the defensive end and Griffin -- who was Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau's top assistant -- was responsible for making Chicago a better defensive unit.
Fred Hoiberg
Although this name hasn't really been thrown out there by the Jazz, allow this writer to do so. Hoiberg comes from the same alma mater as Jeff Hornacek -- whom the Jazz foolishly allowed to take a coaching jon in Phoenix. You all know what happened with that and what didn't happen in Utah.
Now, the Jazz can bring on another Iowa State alum, one who has 10 years NBA playing experience, NBA front office experience to boot and a solid collegiate head coaching resume at ISU. If ever there was a hard working, Midwestern guy with traditional values, this is the one. And Hoiberg appears to be ready to take the next step.

Posted on Jul 16 , 2010 by Susan, shelter outreach specialist Print Home > Blog > What's That Mutt? > What's That Mutt?: Is Molly a jumping Jack or a pouncing Papillon? Tags: canine heritage breed test, dog dna, dog dna test Everyone stops to ask "What is she?" when Molly goes for a romp in the dog park. She is an 11-lb. bouncy blonde with pantaloons, a fluff of a tail she holds high, and crooked, wispy ears. Since Molly is a determined little digger, her pregnant owner worried she would get loose and get hurt once the owner was unable to keep a constant eye on her. The owner didn't want to burden the local shelter, so went looking for a new home for Molly. That's when Molly came to me. People have suggested she's mixed with everything from long-haired Chihuahua to Papillon to Lhasa Apso. She's a Jack Russell-type mouser in the tall grass of my farm fields, but acts like a mom to four-week-old foster kittens and wrestles gently with my pet cats. I was glad to have the opportunity to have her screened with the donated Canine Heritage Breed Test so I would have something to offer her many admirers. What do you think Molly's background might be? Previous What's That Mutt? entries: Pepper has the coloring of a Keeshond and … Results: The origins of Pepper's soulful eyes are revealed!
