Background: Temper modulation problems are both a hallmark of early childhood and a common mental health concern. Thus, characterizing specific behavioral manifestations of temper loss along a dimension from normative misbehaviors to clinically significant problems is an important step toward identifying clinical thresholds.
Methods: Parent-reported patterns of temper loss were delineated in a diverse community sample of preschoolers (n = 1,490). A developmentally sensitive questionnaire, the Multidimensional Assessment of Preschool Disruptive Behavior (MAP-DB), was used to assess temper loss in terms of tantrum features and anger regulation. Specific aims were: (a) document the normative distribution of temper loss in preschoolers from normative misbehaviors to clinically concerning temper loss behaviors, and test for sociodemographic differences; (b) use Item Response Theory (IRT) to model a Temper Loss dimension; and (c) examine associations of temper loss and concurrent emotional and behavioral problems.
Results: Across sociodemographic subgroups, a unidimensional Temper Loss model fit the data well. Nearly all (83.7%) preschoolers had tantrums sometimes but only 8.6% had daily tantrums. Normative misbehaviors occurred more frequently than clinically concerning temper loss behaviors. Milder behaviors tended to reflect frustration in expectable contexts, whereas clinically concerning problem indicators were unpredictable, prolonged, and/or destructive. In multivariate models, Temper Loss was associated with emotional and behavioral problems.
Conclusions: Parent reports on a developmentally informed questionnaire, administered to a large and diverse sample, distinguished normative and problematic manifestations of preschool temper loss. A developmental, dimensional approach shows promise for elucidating the boundaries between normative early childhood temper loss and emergent psychopathology.

This might sound stupid, but I'm supposed to ask any question here, as long as it is related.
So here. I have RAID 1 on the server that is officially soon to be dead. After a chkdsk, the files are corrupting on a more regular basis, and things are looking pretty apocalyptic from my terrified pessimistic oh-my-god-we're-all-gonna-die standpoint.
I'm unable to read files on the server, notably everything that was done this morning by a coworker was lost.
Okay, context apart, I want to see if the alternate drive is working any better than the master one, so here are my questions:
How do I know which one is the master, and which one is the slave, how do I determine which one is faulty?
When that is determined, what do I do? Can I just pull the other drive away? I tried doing so (taking appropriate precautions as to not kill any other hardware), but I got a "broken raid detected, enter setup?" message at boot.
Do I need to insert another drive before I can get the data?
Is trying to boot using a live ubuntu disk a good way to try to save some data?
I'm trying my best not to panic, here, but when my boss finally understood what I meant by "We're going to be in deep shit real soon", it was already close to the expected depht, and "soon" was less than a week's time apart from that moment. Oy vey...
UPDATED: I tried the SeaTools, as suggested below, and both drives failed the long generic test. On a scale from one to infinity, how much poop am I exactly into now?
Say I really, REALLY need to have the data back, how much money will my boss have to give away to do so? Is it even possible? I mean, I stopped believing in Santa a while back...

Current/Elliott Jeans
Katie Holmes in H&M Denim shirt
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were spotted at the Los Angeles Lakers game cheering the Lakers to victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-96. Katie was wearing her H&M Denim shirt again and it really looks like she is also wearing Current/Elliott Love Destroyed Skinny Jeans but I need better pics of her to 100% confirm.
Denim Review: Current/Elliott Skinny Jeans in Loved Destroyed
I decided to do this weeks review on the Current/Elliott skinny jeans in Loved Destroyed. I have had these jeans since last summer but I still wear them because they are so comfy and gorgeous! They were so popular among the celebs back in the summer. These jeans run really big though, I had to size down so I definitely recommend sizing down 1 from your normal size if you buy these jeans. They are very soft and quite stretchy. The rips in the knees do get bigger each time you wear them though which I guess is unavoidable as they are on the knees. The top 2 holes have a patch behind them which you can see in the photo. The paint splatters are so cute! They definitely add a good effect to the overall jean. I think these jeans are definitely one of my favourite jeans by Current/Elliott. These actually got me liking the brand, they were my first pair and since then I have loved a lot of the new styles.
Overall Opinion
I definitely recommend these jeans for a casual look in the summer. Because of the big rips they are not that good for winter as they make your legs really cold. I also think the pocket shape and length suits those more with more of a butt, I don't think it would be too flattering on the smaller butts. They are a beautiful jean though, so comfortable!

Charlize Theron in Current/Elliott
Fresh from the Oscars, Charlize Theron heads back to Paris. She looked causal in a pair of cute jeans. She wore Current/Elliott Skinny jeans in Antique Stretch. Despite her Oscar dress criticism, she always looks so chic! Buy these jeans here at Revolve.
Haylie Duff in Double Denim
Haylie Duff was seen leaving a medical building in Beverly Hills, California wearing a Current/Elliott 'The Perfect Shirt' in denim and a pair of skinny jeans. I love this denim shirt! It's really pretty, Current/Elliott definitely got it right with this one. The wash is perfect for the summery look. Haylie definitely wears her double denim right on trend. She mixed the shades perfectly. We don't see much of Haylie on DenimBlog, but every time she is on here, her outfits are always so well put together, I love her style! Buy this shirt here for only $66!

Here's my setup:
- iMac 21.5" (Late 2009)
- Mac OS X 10.6.7
- Sharp LD-46D85UN
- Griffin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI
I've been using my iMac as an HTPC since I purchased it last year, but last week it stopped working. When I connect everything now, the iMac flashes blue as it normally does when connecting an external display but no picture appears on the TV and there's no sound either.
I know the iMac recognizes the TV because it shows up in System Preferences under Displays and under Sound. It has worked perfectly for months and I can't think of a single thing that changed in my setup at all; it worked one day and didn't the next.
Here are the solutions I've found on the net and tried so far:
- Followed different sequences for connecting the pieces of the puzzle, e.g. turn TV on; set to correct input; connect HDMI cable; connect to adapter; connect adapter to iMac
- Restarted all devices
- Applied combo update to Mac OS X
- Repaired permissions on iMac
- Safe booted iMac
- Scrapped all the
com.apple.windowserver.plistfiles in /Library/Preferences and in each user's home folder
- Reset PRAM
- Tried different HDMI inputs on my TV, different HDMI cords
I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer!
Here's an Apple support article confirming that my model should support video and audio.

Want to Control
"I can't begin to tell you what a life saver your NuVet Plus vitamin product is. Our sweet boy Bounder is a 7 year old English Bulldog and is more than just the family pet as we consider him one of our children. Ever since he was just a pup Bounder lived up to his name and has always been there for us as a playmate, guardian and loyal companion.
"Bounder started drinking a lot of water, lost weight and constantly tired. We took him to our Vet who diagnosed him with Diabetes. Because he was getting on in years this was a real wake up call so we asked if there was anything we could do to prevent our Bounder from getting worse.
"The Vet told us his diet is crucial and we had to seriously restrain ourselves from indulging Bounder. He also needed to get more exercise and he recommended giving him NuVet Plus vitamin supplements as part of his nutritional treatment and recovery plan. We've given Bounder vitamins before but never saw any difference so we questioned the doctor why these should be any better, but decided to try them in hopes of seeing Bounder get better.
"We began giving the supplement a few days' later and after about three weeks, I just couldn't believe it. Bounder was starting to act like his old self again. His eyes were brighter, his coat shinny and his energy was much better and even started playing regularly with his toys.
"It's been two months now and the difference is noticeable both physically and we went back to see the Vet and he told us his Diabetes is truly under control. Thank you so much for helping us keep him alive and make him the little buddle of energy he has always been." *
With all our heart felt thanks,
The Colburn Family
PS – Bounder says thanks too!

"Low 200's!"
This stuff works! I was skeptical at first, but let me tell you, I'm NOT anymore! My 11 year old toy poodle, Molly, was diagnosed with Canine Diabetes recently. The vet said she had a glucose level up in the high 500's. We put Molly on a strict diet and started the NuVet tabs, and now she's down in the low 200's!
Molly also had yeast issues with her ears, and that's now gone! I've also seen a lot less scratching too. I'm confident Molly's issues have cleared up because of Nuvet. Folks, don't pass this up. If you LOVE your pet give them the best, give them NuVet Plus.
I'm convinced! I'm a customer for life! *

Eight Years to develop
this amazing supplement
Developed over eight years by three veterinarians, a nutritional scientist, a pharmacist, and a physician who were fed up with sub-standard nutrition and nutritional supplements in the pet industry. Their goal was to develop a holistic natural supplement that would get to the source of the problem and not just treat the symptom.
The only dilemma is that this supplement is not available in stores or directly to the general public. You can only purchase when you get a recommendation from an industry insider (Breeder, Veterinarian, and Groomer). For a limited time, we are providing concerned and caring pet owners a special accommodation to acquire this vital supplement direct from the manufacturer.
15 years and over 300,000 pets helped
You're Dog can be helped quickly and safely.
Addressing the root of Diabetes.Too often the symptoms are treated and not the core problem. Many dog owners and even veterinarians misdiagnose the true cause of Diabetes. If symptoms are treated without solving the real problem, the problem will not go away; the dog owner can become extremely frustrated and discouraged.
We don't just tackle the symptom but get deep down and treat the core of the Diabetes. Starting with healing the body's toxicity, it improves your dog's ability to absorb critical enzymes, minerals and amino acids, which further helps strengthen it's resistance to what originally caused the Diabetes while preventing it from getting worse. Key Ingredients can help stabilize and balance your dog's blood sugar, improve circulation and the efficiency for insulin, and manage the diabetes so, instead of a never ending expensive problem you have a happy dog that feels and looks great.
Works fast, the precise combination of crucial ingredients is what makes the supplement work so quickly and effectively. All ingredients are water-soluble, even after processing, ensuring that crucial enzymes are rapidly absorbed by your dog's metabolism. Often results will start showing within a few weeks, but you should allow up to eight weeks seeing results so your dog can return to enjoying his or her life again.
Easily digested and absorbed by your dog. We use 100% natural, human-grade ingredients that are water soluble so it's easy on your pet's stomach and doesn't interact with any insulin or other medication it may be taking. It will not irritate your dog even if it has a sensitive stomach. It is so safe we have had cases where dogs have accidently eaten an entire bottle and have no adverse reaction other than mild diarrhea.
Made in an FDA (Human) pharmaceutical laboratory. This is one of the few products in the pet industry that is actually manufactured in an FDA pharmaceutical lab. Every ingredient is quarantined and microscopically tested to be 100% safe & consistent, using the strict guidelines of human pharmaceuticals. This is virtually unheard of in the pet industry due to the strict monitoring required.
Patented process maintains the integrity and full healing properties of the natural ingredients. Just like when vegetables are cooked, "heat treating" a supplement kills off the natural healing properties of many ingredients. That's why, unlike virtually all other supplements, ours is never heat treated. Heat kills vitamins A, E, and B1, omega fatty acids and key digestive enzymes. By eliminating heat from the manufacturing process, the natural healing properties of the vitamins, enzymes and omega fatty acids are preserved.
The balance of calcium, phosphorous and magnesium are a critical aspect of the remarkable healing blend. Our patented process for paddle drying the chicken liver preserves its omegas, vitamins, and enzymes so your dog receives the livers full benefit.
Strengthen your dog's entire immune system. This supplement acts as a safeguard that can prolong your dog's life and health, by strengthening its resistance to dozens of additional diseases and ailments. This way your dog is protected against many cancers, heart problems, diabetes, cataracts, tumors, bone and joint problems, and much more;
Easy to give you're pet. It comes in a convenient wafer that you give like a treat (or a powder with extra chicken liver for finicky dogs), making it easy to feed.
The cost, only pennies a day. By purchasing direct from the manufacturer, you pay much less than many retail stores and as much as 30% less than some veterinary offices charge.
"I can honestly say that NuVet has saved me at least three vet bills." *
"I just have to let you know that your product has been a lifesaver…" *
"The product offered a money back guarantee which made me feel more comfortable about trying it. In the end it helped improve my baby's health dramatically." *
"Two weeks after I started her on these vitamins her weight came up and her eyes were completely clear and she was acting like a puppy." *
"…This is the best supplement I have ever tried in the 25+ years I have raised dogs." *

I see that President Obama and Democrats issued a permit for a million Muslims to congregate in Washington, D.C., on 9/11 to celebrate their glorious victory of Sept. 11, 2001.
However, Obama and Democrats turned down a request from 2 million American bikers to support America on the same day. How odd. And how odd is it that AGN Media has never mentioned a word of this?
I guess we have to remember that Obama has stated he will always stand with the enemies of the U.S., and has stated that the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."

Yesterday we celebrated the 102nd Anniversary of the Army Reserves. To honor that anniversary, sixty soldiers in the Army Reserve reenlisted at the fifth annual National Capitol Reenlistment Ceremony on Capitol Hill. Visit the "My Army Reserve" for pictures and a special message from Lt. Gen. Jack Stultz, Chief Army Reserve and Commander Army Reserve Command.
But what exactly is life like for the men and women of the Army Reserves? We asked one Reservist - Ronald Cameau - to shed some light on his experiences…
USO: Army Reserve - it's probably a term that people hear a lot, but what does it actually mean as far as where and how you serve? Ronald Cameau: A reservist is a Service Member who serves in a branch of the military in a part-time capacity (minimum one weekend a month, two full weeks a year) or in a time of war (which is when you become "Active Duty"). With regards to location for the Reservist, we are typically assigned to a unit that is within 50 miles from our home.
USO: Why did you join in the first place? RC: I wanted to join the Army Reserve without having a full-time obligation to the military, to learn IT skills that would help me be successful. Being a part of the military is a means to make my resume look good, and lastly, patriotism.
[caption id="attachment_2141" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Army Reservists Ronald Cameau flies over Camp Bucca, Iraq in 2005."][/caption]
USO: What's the toughest part about integrating back into your non-military life? RC: I have two perspectives of integrating back into civilian life. My 1st deployment was in 2005 and I was single with no child, so my integration back into my full-time "civilian" life was somewhat normal. I guess my only issue was reintegrating with friends and figuring out what the latest style of clothes were.

send it back , keep the rest,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba BDX3000 3D-Ready Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics)
same as many other reviews , this player constantly freezes and you have to unplug
it and start over. when it works it works and plays well but it froze 3 times on the
last movie we tried to watch . I finally got my old toshiba dvd recorder out and
finished watching the movie.
I also got this in the package with the 46" 3D tv and am real happy with
the tv. I did read a couple reviews that stated they would send it back
but it was bought in a package. That doesnt matter just send the dvd player back
and keep the tv and glasses . thats what we did. In the returns area just click on
the dvd not the tv and glasses
Im going to try a different brand of blu ray player , toshiba has some issues
to work out with these.
Amazon is so easy to work with , ill be buying the replacement here

Michael T. says:
did you get any refund back for the player? I thought since it's part of the bundle even if you send it back it wouldn't make much of a difference. I was thinking about sending it back but if they're not going to refund a certain amount I'd rather give it away to someone.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Funky, Romantic, Cute
What materials did you use? Cotton - some very annoyingly light cotton with only two things going for it, it is cute, and it does not need ironing; buttons; elastic; little girl to model it haha
What are you most proud of? Sewing this annoyingly soft and light fabric! I had to make sleeves again. The pattern suggests sewing elastic in sleeves, but my machine couldn't cope with it (neither could I haha). The elastic was too thick for this fabric and it just didn't look nice.
thats a lovely little top, perfic
This is so cute!! I hear you about annoying fabric! I have about three or four summer tops that I started and threw on my "maybe my mom can do it?" or wait for a rainy day to finish. Great job on sewing and Finishing!!

Gala opening for Chicagos Unity Center

When Mr. Bush gave the State of the Union address, he spoke of Iraq as a country which Americans are really proud of, because they voted Jan. 30 — although we well know it is a very immoral situation.
Hartford neighbors say Tax the rich
Do I feed my children or do I pay the rent? What do you do when the children of your state have to live in poverty because their parents lack the economic resources to take care of their needs? What do you do when public officials who pass legislation and make policies totally ignore the people who are affected by their acts?
Purple Heart winner flees to Canada
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) —Rather than face another tour of duty in Iraq, a Lexington soldier who won a Purple Heart after he was wounded by a roadside bomb has fled to Canada. Darrell Anderson, 22, wounded last April, was deeply disillusioned about the war, according to his mother, Anita Anderson. The possibility of another tour in Iraq this summer was something he couldn't face, she said.
Sweeney seeks more comment on AFL-CIO revamp
WASHINGTON (PAI) — AFL-CIO President John Sweeney is seeking comments on changing the labor federation's nature and structure. "We will undertake a full and open discussion about our future and the choices we must make together," he said in an early December letter, outlining topics for the federation's 50th-anniversary convention, to be held in Chicago in late July 2005.
The Woodsman
Movie Review Nicole Kassel's "The Woodsman," starring Kevin Bacon, is a quiet and subtle exploration into the world of pedophilia and incest. And while we might want to put that as far away from us as possible, the movie makes us look at it with uncomfortable closeness. It suggests that how we view our children — as our breathing property or as little beings — makes all the difference.

If you want a doctor, the easiest way is to grow your own.
That's the idea behind the Panhandle Area Health Education Center, a federally funded program West Texas A&M University Division of Nursing and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock are working to bring to 20 counties in the Panhandle.
It starts as early as kindergarten, where there might be a puppet show in which the puppet breaks a leg and the young audience meets the many people - doctors and nurses as well as x-ray technicians and any number of others - involved in fixing him up.
By high school, the kids are touring gross anatomy labs and learning about the scholarships available for students interested in health care.
"The reason that we start so young is to kind of grow our own health care providers," said Susan Lance, director of the AHEC of the Plains in Plainview. "People who grow up there are the most likely to come back to a rural area. A doctor from Houston probably won't come to Tulia, Texas."
And as a back up plan, there's an attempt to lure health care students to rural areas for their rotations.
"Our hopes are that they will enjoy it and like the area and eventually come back," Lance said.
But once you get them here, you have to keep them here - which is why AHECs also works to bring in continuing education classes for the various health care professions.
The point is to do as much as possible to meet the health care needs of the people in the AHEC's area. And by April, Texas Tech and WT will have a team to do just that in the Panhandle.
"We are an underserved area in the Panhandle," said Tommy Sweat, the program director for the Panhandle AHEC.
"So we're trying to get a grass roots effort to get the kids interested in health care careers."
The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is working with facilitators, such as WT, to bring a total of five AHECs to the West Texas area in Plainview, Midland/Odessa, Amarillo, El Paso and Abilene.
The Plainview center was the first, and its workers have talked to more than 7,000 students since June of 2002 about the opportunities in health care fields. Sweat said he is currently in the process of reviewing applications to fill the staff positions in Amarillo, but when he does they will be training with the Plainview staff and bringing some of their techniques back to the Panhandle.
"Some programs are already designed by other programs across the country," said Dr. Heidi Taylor, the head of the Division of Nursing at WT.
"We'll utilize those, but we'll also establish our own programs that are specific to the needs of particular communities. We'll just try to be responsive to what the interests are and what the needs are in the area where we are."
Sweat said he hopes to get started doing work in the Panhandle by April.

Now that we've cleared up the whole 'Scarface' fiasco, here's another look at the Nike LeBron 9 'Home' colorway, originally dubbed the 'Scarface' LeBron 9; like the Freegums x Nike LeBron 9, the 'Home' features a combination of White/Black/Red, akin to those Scarface movie posters that are currently hanging on the walls of 86% of male college dorm-rooms. What makes the 'Scarface' stick out from the rest is the contrasting red Flywire at the forefoot; all of the other LeBron 9 colorways we've seen so far use a muted secondary color that blends in with the breathable shell upper, but the sport red Flywire cables provides a nice touch to give these an extra tech-y appeal. These won't officially hit stores until November 4th, but Millenium Shoes just got their shipment (and are showing them off a bit early), so check out these new images below and let us know what you think of the colorway.

RATINGS: 1736 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.77/5 SEASONAL: Spring IBU: 50 EST. CALORIES: 294 ABV: 9.8%
This Old Ale conjures up thoughts of classic sea fairing ports, there local pubs and the weathered fisherman that frequent them. In traditional style Curmudgeon is brewed with an intense focus on the malt bill creating a very strong, rich, malty characteristic and a sweetness indicative of its cousin the barleywine. We are especially proud of the balance in this beer making it deceptively smooth and drinkable at 9.8% alcohol by volume.
Editors Note - The 2006 bottled version has been aged in bourbon barrels.

Contributed Photo Florida School of the Arts (FloArts) will present the figurative works of Ke-Hsin Jenny Chi at an opening reception at 7 p.m. today. The exhibits will be in the Main Gallery at the Florida School of the Arts, located on the Palatka Campus of St. Johns River Community College. The show, which centers on the figure as the ultimate focal point, will be on display through Dec. 5. The event is free and open to the public. The gallery is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For information, call (386) 312-4300.
According to David Ouellette, instructor and gallery director at FloArts, Chi's work goes way beyond the still-life. "Ms. Chi is wonderfully talented and skilled with painting landscapes and still-lifes in the manner of the old masters; however, her greatest inspiration is the figure.
"In this exhibition at the Florida School of the Arts, we have the opportunity to see a number of conte crayon, or red chalk drawings, with all their direct freshness of execution as well as her understanding and sensitivity for the ultimate subject," said Ouellette.
Chi is from Taiwan, where she studied art and received her diploma from the Taipan College of Art. Later, she earned her bachelor's degree from Lewis University in Illinois and received her M.F.A. from the Graduate School of Figurative Art of the New York Academy in 1998.
She also studied at the Florence Academy of Art during the summers of 2001 and 2002. "In addition to her academic achievements, Ms. Chi's awards and honors are impressive," said Ouellette. Chi also received the Carl Steinsieck Memorial Award, and has the unique distinction of serving on the White House Blue Ribbon Christmas Project. Chi is an assistant professor of art at Eastern Illinois University at Charleston and a frequent guest lecturer.
For information on FloArts at St. Johns River Community College, call (386) 312-4300 or go to floarts.org.

Mr Stamm was part-way through the nonstop Vendee Globe 2012
round-the-world yacht race when forced to divert to Dunedin

Beach, near Dunedin, on Boxing Day, but appeared to rejoin
the race on Thursday afternoon.
However, his yacht, Cheminees Poujoulat, was anchored off the
peninsula yesterday.
Reports on the Vendee Globe race website suggested Mr Stamm
had moved because of a change in wind direction and was
continuing repairs, but was almost ready to depart.

Your "husband hole" refers to a woman's buttonhole. It means that your buttonhole is reserved for your husband or longterm boyfriend. It refers to women only having anal sex once they are in a committed relationship. Anal sex is not done casually as it is difficult and requires a lot of trust between partners.

Perl controls VirtualBox
Virtual Vagabond
The Vagrant package provides easy management of virtual machines with VirtualBox as the hypervisor on the command line. Provisioning tools like Puppet let customers try out products in pre-installed environments.
The old excuse for broken products – "Well, it works for me!" – should have become obsolete among software developers, at the latest, with the invention of virtual machines.
On a bare-metal, virtual distribution, you can easily install any software suite in a reproducible way to discover whether or not the entire system will work for the customer in the future. To automate this testing, the developer needs a command-line tool to boot the virtual machine, a setup tool to install the application packages and their dependencies, and a script to launch the test suite. Often applications span multiple instances – such as a client that contacts a web server, which in turn uses a database instance.

I'm sure that there are any number of both Israelis and Palestinians that would gladly and peacefully share the area.
Sadly, politicians ignore the opinions of non-extremists.
And of course they're both proxies for Islam & theU.S.
And all we have to do to stop all of it is to get rid of the pathological war-mongers, who've figured out how to make too much money out of it, without having to do any of the fighting themselves … simple … heh -
Nice imagery but it won't happen that way. Like saying that between the USA and N. Korea. Won't happen.
But they are job creators, the economy would tank without war.
Note, the above is sarcasm.
Peace will indeed come when there is no one who wishes to wage war – or when there is no one left to do so

Rivalry / competitive strategy
Product rivalry
Price Competition
Customer Service
Distribution Channel
Product rivalry
In the current market, PADINI face many competitors from local and also oversea brand such as Levis, ZARA or GUESS. In creating a new competitive strategy, PADINI needs to understand on the customer buying interest.
~ does the customer really satisfy with the product that they purchase?
~ Does the design, color or size really meet the user demand?
~ Do they really buy the product because they like it or they don't have any choice but to choose the product that ready made ?
By understanding on the user buying interest, PADINI can use this information and create unique strategy that can attract customer on their product. Based from here, a strategy that can be suggested to PADINI is by providing product customization where customer can select type of material, design, color and even button that they prefer. By implementing this type of strategy, it provides full understanding on the customer needs and demand. This might help to open new buying trends that can attract more customers on PADINI product.
Price Competition
~ Pricing competition is not good ways to create competitive strategy to compete with other competitor. By lowing the price and give too much discount can affect the sales profit. Others than that, if the price is cheap, the value of the brands is going down. However, there are several strategy that can be use for example, conducting sales event it would help to create customer loyalty towards PADINI product. An example of sales event such as PADINI warehouse clearance, summer design sales or spring sales.
~ Other than that, PADINI can use a concept of offering sales for price per package replacing price per unit sales. As an example, selling whole product from top to bottom including accessory per package rather than selling one unit of product. Maybe PADINI can cut down the price for the package sales to attract the customer. The idea is that instead of buying one product per time, PADINI can sell more products at one time.
~ Creating on-demand product price offers
Customer Service
~ Online store
PADINI is improving their sales from brick-and-mortar to click-and-mortar where it will provide services on online sales. By having this improvement, it create more better services towards the customer because by having online sales, the customer can purchase at anywhere and at anytime 24/7.
~ PADINI can provide an online catalog and loyalty program.
Other services that be offers by PADINI is by having online catalog to view new product arrival. Other than that, they can alert their customer by sending mail advertising on new product sales or new incoming product. This helps to promote more on their product and help to increase sales.
~ Product Return duration
Sometimes, the customers are not really satisfied on what they purchase maybe because the color, size or design. Most of the shop in Malaysia does not offer on product replacement . therefore, by understanding this requirement Padini can offers a product replacement but followed by the rules to avoid the customer to take advantages. What they can do is that they can offers product replacement within 7 days after the product is being purchase and there is still price tag on to it. By doing this, it helps in providing good services to the customer.
