Welcome to 1to1 Media — a multimedia resourcefor CRM and Customer Experience Professionals.
In the movie Ground Hog Day, Bill Murray's misanthropic character, Phil Connors, responds to a colleague's comment that people like celebrating Ground Hog Day with a point that some marketers might appreciate: "People like blood sausage, too." Today's organizational brand teams confront a growing blood-sausage problem: Customers are exerting increasing influence over brand-management activities.
How much influence do you want to yield to customers who have enough time on their hands to email, tweet, and blog about why your company should change its logo, product design, or business practices? This may be a cynical question, but it begs asking at time when consumers can effectively recall new logos that don't jibe with their own brand perceptions, as Gap and Tropicana discovered in the past two years when customer backlash caused them to scrap new a logo and packaging, respectively, and return to former ones.
Here's a better question: How much should customers influence brands? The answer has less to do with social media and more to do with risk management. And those unfamiliar with risk management must keep in mind that risk refers to the possible occurrence of both threats and opportunities.
"The train has left the station as far as customer [brand] influence goes. Whether the influence is invited or uninvited, it's going to happen," says Jonathan Copulsky, a Deloitte principal and author of Brand Resilience: Managing Risk and Recovery in a High Speed World. "This is all about risk. When it comes to their brands, companies need to be risk-intelligent organizations. That means figuring out in advance what brand risks are acceptable and what risks are unacceptable, and then being prepared to take action."
For example, shortly after Frito-Lay introduced biodegradable bags for its SunChips brand, a Facebook group called "Sorry, but I can't hear you over this SunChips bag" attracted more than 40,000 followers who agreed that the new packaging created too much noise when handled. Frito-Lay's initial response, posted on its SunChips.com site and on in-store shelf signage, was prompt and good-humored: "Yes the bag is loud. That's what change sounds like." But the bag-lash continued, and Frito-Lay soon pulled most of its compostable packaging. "Within a week," Copulsky reports, "there was a new set of Facebook groups, grousing about the demise of the bags."
The SunChips brand team continued to assess the threats and opportunities related to its environmentally friendly packaging, ultimately treating the customer feedback (both pro and con) as an impetus to embark on "a journey to developing a better bag." The new biodegradable, yet quieter bag information is now available via a "compostable packaging" link on Sunchips.com home page. The link explains how the bag was tested, why Frito-Lay developed the bag, and how people can compost. This information clearly demonstrates A) the company's rationale behind the brand decision; and B) even more important, how the company listened to, considered, and incorporated customer input into the process.
According to Erin Raese, COO of Loyalty 360, customers rarely understand all the considerations and decisions that occur behind a brand, which is why she advises marketing executives to think twice before changing logos or key marketing message in response to customer feedback. Instead, marketing executives should ensure that they are listening to customer feedback and incorporating that feedback, in a transparent manner, into their existing brand decision-making processes. "The customer isn't living and breathing the promotions as the marketers are," Raese says. "It takes a customer a while to understand the promotion, get comfortable with it, and then use it."
Deloitte's Copulsky agrees, suggesting that brand and marketing teams consider adhering to the following sequence of activities whenever an outcry over a marketing program, logo change, or other "brand shock" materializes:
1) Log the incident
2) Describe what happened
3) Assign an investigative team
4) Focus on cause and prevention rather than assigning blame
5) Formulate the recommendation(s)
6) Assign implementation responsibility
7) Track the implementation progress
8) Review your incident log regularly
If this process sounds overly systematic, it should. Copulsky asserts that brand resiliency in the era of social media requires the same process discipline that fuels effective organizational risk management programs.
"When incorporating consumer opinions and influence, one of the biggest risks a brand can take is not rallying internally and staffing correctly," adds BazaarVoice Chief Marketing Officer Erin Nelson. "When no one owns the data, important insights go unnoticed, information is routed to the wrong people within the organization, no action is taken, or is reactive at best."
And unless that reactive cycle is broken, it is doomed to repeat itself—just ask Phil Connors.

text: In almost 2 yrs, DH and i have not had a night away from Marchie, together or separate. We FINALLY have the opportunity in a cpl weeks (for our 8th wedding anniversary!). The plan is for my sister to come 2.5 from her house to stay overnight at our house. This way Marchie is comfortable in his own setting. We are only going to a hotel that is in the same city where we live. My sister is 12 yrs my elder and has raised 2 grown children (23 and 22 yo). She is mature and responsible. She is great with Marchie, once Marchie gets over his initial shyness (since we do not see her regularly). Why then is part of me still nervous? Do you mommas who taken overnight trips away from Marchie have any tips on what to go over w/my sister, or how to best enjoy my time away?? I am going to see if she can come either early the morning that we plan to leave or the night before, so we can review how to change his diapers (we use gDiapers w/flushable inserts), what we do at meal times and bedtime, etc.

Live View Limitations, Aperture Adjustment, Preview Accuracy
I'm a new D600 user and a new Nikonian member. I've read many comments around the internet, including some here, about the limitations of live view (LV) in the camera. Of special interest to me has been 1) the inability to change the aperture in Video LV and 2) the accuracy/inaccuracy of the image preview displayed on the LV screen relative to what the camera will actually be capturing on its sensor.
On the first point, if anyone knows a workaround for this, I'd really appreciate knowing it.
On the second point, I came across what seems to be a pretty well informed discussion of it in a thread in the D600 Club at Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/d600club/discuss/72157631670298314) and I'd be really interested in the thoughts of folks here on this topic, especially as it occurs to me that members here may generally be more experienced and expert in the use of the camera (no offense to the Flickr folks intended; I could be entirely mistaken here). Any clarifications, confirmations, corrections, or expansions of what's said in the Flickr thread would be most welcome. I'm really trying to master the use of LV on the camera and fully understand what can and can't be done while working in both Photo LV and Video LV.
For folks who don't want to read the whole thread, the following (in colored fonts) are the two posts I found most helpful. Naturally, I hope some of this information will be useful to other D600 users here and look forward to any feedback anyone may be able to offer by way of clarifying these issues generally. With many thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to offer, here are the posts...
1) In Live View Photo mode, the screen does not show the effects of the chosen exposure, except for exposure compensation to some extent. It is not what-you-see-is-what-you-get.
Changing the aperture doesn't show a preview of the change of depth of field. Pressing Depth of Field Preview has no effect on LV Photo mode. Changing the shutter speed doesn't show a preview of the blur. Changing the ISO doesn't show a preview of the noise. Even in manual exposure mode, changing the aperture / ISO / shutter speed will not change the preview on the LV Photo mode (but there is an electronic light meter indicator). Exposure compensation adjustments can be seen on the Live View Photo mode within a range of +/- 3EV but in dim conditions (e.g. at night), I can only see changes within a range of -3EV to +1EV. If you apply exposure comp outside that range there is no change in the brightness of the screen.
Unlike in Live View Photo mode, the display in Live View Movie mode is of course what-you-see-is-what-you-get (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, fps). Exposure compensation changes are visible on the screen within +/- 3EV (but in dim ambient conditions, it is -3EV to +1EV).
2) There are two different live-views on the D600 -- each with different rules. Each one needs its own explanation
1. Photo live view allows you to change aperture, ISO, and shutter speed while live-view is activated.
2. However, as you change these settings, they won't be reflected on the LCD display
3. The Live-view display chooses its own settings and basically zeros out the meter so that everything is "properly" exposed according to the camera's best guesses.
4. If you're in aperture priority, your still frames will exactly match up with the LCD display. If you're in manual mode, your still frame might look quite different from the LCD display.
Exposure Compensation Work-Around:
I devised a little trick that might help. It's imperfect but it might be an okay solution for some. Say you are in manual mode with photo-live view enabled. You've chosen an aperture, shutter speed, and ISO -- and the meter tells you you are exactly 1 stop underexposed.
The LCD display will look 1 stop brighter than your chosen settings. If you change exposure compensation to -1.0, the LCD display will become one stop darker -- and you can get an accurate preview of your still-frame. Try it. It works. It's just annoying.
I'm going to say this up front: its clear that movie live view was NOT designed for taking still frames.
To best explain this, I need to give you guys a fake scenario.
It's Saturday and you are taking pictures at a birthday party. The night before, you were shooting some home videos with your D600 in a dark environment.
When you were shooting those videos on the previous night, you set your camera to movie mode and chose the settings 1/60, F2.8, ISO 6000. ("Settings A"). After this, you don't touch movie mode again.
Now at the daytime birthday party, you are trying to take a photo of the cake. You set your camera at 1/100, F4 ISO 100 ("Settings B").
Before you take the shot, you decide to go into Movie Live View to preview your exposure. Here's what happens:
1. Movie-Live-View imports your aperture from Settings B. You can not change your aperture while you are in Movie Live View.
2. Movie-Live-View imports your shutter speed and ISO from Settings A.
3. The LCD will display an exposure of 1/60, F4, ISO 6000. A bizarre hodgepodge of Settings A and B.
4. You are allowed to change ISO and shutter speed while in movie-live-view. The LCD display will update in real-time while you lower your ISO or change your shutter speed.
5. Say you cycle through until you find a good exposure for the cake. It turns out the correct exposure was 1/30, F4, ISO 800. ("Settings C")
6. If you press the shutter down, the camera will take a still. You'd think it would use Settings C. But it won't. It'll use Settings B! The "still-frames" portion of the camera doesn't care that you made all sorts of changes in movie-live-view. As far as it is concerned, you're still at 1/100, F4, ISO 100!
7. If you want to take a still frame using Settings C, you'll have to exit movie-live-view change the settings manually...then fire the shot.
If that's confusing, its because movie-live-view is confusing.

In case no one else welcomed you, welcome to the Nikonians.
I've never used LV for still photography. Why? If I saw someone with a D4 using LV for still photography, I'd wonder.
My concentration would be on LV for video. That makes a lot more sense.
Just my personal observation and recommendation. Others mileage may vary!

>In case no one else welcomed you, welcome to the Nikonians.
>I've never used LV for still photography. Why?
Thank you. It's good to be here.
The reason I'd like to use LV for still photography is that 1) it has the potential to offer a more accurate preview of the final image (in terms of exposure) than the viewfinder, which does not reflect changes made to aperture, shutter speed, and ISO and 2) it's much easier to do critical manual focusing in LV than through the viewfinder, especially because you can zoom in to the image in LV (this feature is often helpful in landscape photography and whenever else one wants to get the focus just right on a distant object that is not at infinity).
Of course, as you point out, others' mileage may vary.
#3. "RE: Live View Limitations, Aperture Adjustment, Preview Accuracy" | In response to Reply # 0
Live View is a critical tool for macro and other situations when you need precise focus. Live View uses Contrast Detect AF - a more precise but slower method than phase detect AF used normally. With Live View you can magnify the image to examine areas for precise focus.
The goal with the Live View display is to give you something you can see rather then precisely previewing your image. This enables precise composition and focus. Even if exposure was correct, none of the LCD views are precise. The histogram is much better to judge exposure.

i also ran into problems using live view on the d600. i contacted nikon and got some silly replies so started looking online and found this thread.
i enjoy taking night shots of large man made structure such as a factory on a river or a major bridge. typically i would put my camera on the trip and use live view to zoom in on the object to find a focus point and manually focus the camera. in many cases it is too dark to focus through the view finder. i find this to be the most accurate way to focus. i can leave the iso at 100 set the camera to f8 and use a 10 to 30 second shutter speed to get amazingly sharp images. this always worked on my d7000, d200 and d80.
this weekend i put my new d600 on a tripod and attempted to do the same thing. i was at iso 100 f8 and 20 seconds. i hit live view and i was presented with a basically black image with some noise running through it.
i took the picture and it was properly exposed. the confirmation image looked fine but the live view would not preview the image at the proper exposure. i had the brightness turned all the way up on the rear screen. the issue was that the preview was under exposed by about 9 stops. i was able to focus the camera by reviewing the image but that was a painful experience in trial and error.
everything else on the camera works great such as the menus or live view when ther eis enough light so i feel like it has to be a setting. the camera is too accurate even in low light for me to believe the live view is less effective than every other nikon dslr i have ever owned. i tested the issue on a nikon 50 1.4 af-d, 85 1.8 afs, 24 2.8 ais, and a nikon 70-210 ais as well as a tamron 24-70 2.8 vc.

In the digital age, using a very high ISO to focus and then changing ISO to a more normal level is a good solution. For night photography, this is a common technique. Focus is the same regardless of exposure settings.
The mechanics of Live View AF make it the most accurate method available.

I like Live View for precise focus when using a tripod.
The D600 Live View uses the f/stop selected in the camera. In your case that would have been f/8.
You may wish to use the widest aperture for focus and framing in Live View, then remember to select the aperture you want to use to make the image. (This workflow is similar to using a large format view camera-- focus wide open -> set aperture -> make exposure)
Some previous Nikon bodies used the widest aperture for Live View but that is not the case with the D600. Perhaps a firmware update will change that.
#7. "RE: Live View Limitations, Aperture Adjustment, Preview Accuracy" | In response to Reply # 6stuart benas Registered since 27th Jun 2013Fri 28-Jun-13 11:28 PM
john- thanks you are a genius. i posted the same question on dp****w.com and no one had a clue.
i opened up the aperture to 1.4, went into live view, zoomed in and got the focus right. then i set the aperture. its like programming a manual focus lens. you need to tell live view what the max aperture is before you can make adjustments. strange but it works.
so live view gives you DoF preview (actually stops down the lens) but meters the preview assuming the lens is still open to the max aperture.
if you figured this maybe you explain why the auto focus on my ais lenses wont work. just kidding

At Roxbury Clinic and Surgery Center, they work to treat each patient equally and we aim to please all of our patients. Safety is their number one concern in taking care of patients and secondly is that they obtain satisfactory results. It is their goal that each patient has a great experience from the time they make an appointment until the time they are done healing from their procedures. Communication between staff is very important to ensure the quality of patient care.
Each patient comes into the office for a consultation to discuss their concerns. The area of concerned is examined and a treatment plan is formulated if possible and medically advisable. The patient then will meet with the patient coordinator to schedule the surgery and will be given a price quote. The patient is welcome to come back to meet with the doctor during my office hours if they still may have questions that are unanswered or any other concerns.
The treatment plan is advised at the time of the first consultation. If a treatment plan is not made at the first visit because of need for further information then the patient is asked to come back for a second consultation once all information has been obtained or the patient is referred out to another surgeon. Each patient is assessed and consulted prior to obtaining any treatments or services to ensure they are fully aware of their course of treatment. At the time prior to the procedure (usually the pre-op appointment), the patient will fill out informed consents and is advised to ask any questions that they may have regarding the procedure. All risks and complications are discussed with the patient at this visit as well.
In a scenario that the doctor would not advise a procedure be done on a patient, Dr. Calvert stats that he would discuss with them their goals for the procedures, look at alternatives, and try to help direct them to either a better solution for their concerns. If they are still unable to come to a resolution, the doctor would refer them to someone for more information if he did not feel comfortable doing it for them. Dr. Calvert would communicate that in his hands that it probably wont give them what they want and he would refer them to someone for another opinion who may be able to address their concerns.
After treatment, the office makes sure to place frequent follow up calls (video calls if the patient is from out of town), frequent postop visits to the office, and having competent staff that can handle any issues that may arise with patients. They also send each patient a post-operative questionnaire that specifically addresses their care and service. The patient has multiple opportunities to voice concerns as the office is heavily staffed with nurses and/or PAs. It is not uncommon for patients to feel more comfortable addressing their concerns with the PA or nurse and therefore it is their goal to make sure that the patients concerns are addressed and proper action is taken.
Since the office has been a part of Ripoff Report, they make sure all patients are well informed and educated which begins at the very first phone call or email that they may receive from a potential new patient. They also have clarified our consent forms and policy and procedure materials that are given to every patient. Patient complaints are taken very seriously and are dealt with immediately. No matter what the complaint may be the office will try to resolve the issue as soon as possible or come up with a solution that is agreeable between all parties.
Furthermore, the office has discovered that better patient selection is key in prevention of complaints. There are many patients that have had multiple procedures from other surgeons, that makes Dr. Calvert am very careful to assess whether or not further surgery is advisable for that patient. They also have heavier screening for body dysmorphic disorder and major depression that has allowed them to save patients the frustration of having further surgery and not being satisfied with the results.
As stated above something that needs to be repeated to those seeking any kind of plastic Surgery .. The company states that they are committed to doing whatever it takes to make the patient happy because they have always worked tirelessly to revise surgery when necessary. In knowing that plastic surgery is not perfect, they always let patients know that there is a 10% chance of revision rate on any plastic surgery procedure. They do not charge for the revision operation, but the patient does pay anesthesia fees. This is standard practice in plastic surgery industry. Dr. Calvert feels the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program is an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to customer service and he is glad that there is a program that can address these concerns that have been voiced on the Internet.

If handled correctly, complaints can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Ripoff Reports on-site review of Roxbury Clinic & Surgery Center, Dr. Jay Calvert, has made organizational changes allowing its clients and employees a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a commitment to a great patient satisfaction.

==== Dr. Jay Calvert Dr. Jay Wynn Calvert, Roxbury Surgery Center, Jay Calvert, MD DR. JAY CALVERT RUINED MY FACE. HE IS CORRUPT AND INEPT. ROXBURY SURGERY CENTER IS A FRONT FOR FRAUD!! Beverly Hills, California
Dr. Jay Calvert ruined my nose. Hes an awful surgeon and very corrupt. He should lose his license. He caused major damage to my septum and columnella during a primary cosmetic rhinoplasty and then he tried to sell me on another surgery to fix it and surprise, surprise, he wanted to bill me a bunch more money plus he wanted to bill my insurance again, after though my surgery was all cosmetic and even though he'd already billed them for a ridiculous amount on top of the money I already paid him. I wouldn't ever trust him to do surgery again, not even on a guinea pig. He uses his Roxbury surgery center for illicit insurance billing. He's very sneaky, underhanded and slimy. When I told him Id report him to the medical board, he said hed sue me if I did. Classy. His staff are poorly trained and not very bright.

It's also quite pitiful how Dr. Calvert buys his followers on Twitter and his fans on Facebook to try to make himself look popular. Yes, he really does this.
Don't be duped by Dr. Calvert's false and illegal marketing tactics. Dr. Jay Calvert is an incompetent and horrible surgeon who has disfigured and hurt many patients. He defrauds insurance companies big time and sues his patients if they write negative online review about him. He also threatens legal action against any website if they do not remove his negative reviews, and dozens of honest negative reviews have been removed by these websites. Dr. Jay Calvert is scaring patients and websites into silence about him. He is reckless, a fraud and a danger to society.

This is the first time I am hearing of Daniel Tosh. Apparently he's a comedian, and a well known one at that. All good, I say.
Today, I came across a controversy where, during one of his shows in a club, he continuously made jokes about rape. He started with general statements in support of rape jokes saying "they are always funny", "rape his hilarious" etc . A girl, who happened to be at the show wrote a blog post about her experience and what happened while she was there.
An excerpt from her blog post:
So Tosh then starts making some very generalizing, declarative statements about rape jokes always being funny, how can a rape joke not be funny, rape is hilarious, etc. I don't know why he was so repetitive about it but I felt provoked because I, for one, DON'T find them funny and never have. So I didnt appreciate Daniel Tosh (or anyone!) telling me I should find them funny. So I yelled out, "Actually, rape jokes are never funny!"
And what has stunned me the most is what he did in response. Again quoting from the blog post, written in first person:
After I called out to him, Tosh paused for a moment. Then, he says, "Wouldn't it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her…"
Did you read that? Wouldn't it be funny if that girl got raped by 5 guys right now. Seriously?
Following the controversy, I see a lot of side issues, people defending the comedian saying "heckling" is a crime and if she disrupted his act, she asked for it. There are others who think she was absolutely right in doing so (Thank God) and more who think that for comedians nothing is taboo, and they can make a joke about anything from laughing over old people, to babies, to racism. There are still more who think this is Tosh's style of humour so if you don't like it, you stay away.
First of all, it disturbs me that anyone can find in their heart to laugh over a rape joke. I say it again and again, rape and joke don't go together. Rape and laugh don't go together. No matter what the context, rape is not a fun subject to build jokes around.
Well, for a moment, let me keep aside the context and my personal feelings regarding rape jokes. Let me go with the assumption that may be in this world there is an audience for such crap and comedians get popular by cracking "jokes" about rape, AND that in general "heckling" in the middle of a show is wrong, no matter what.
While I am digesting that, can some one please tell me what sort of a justified punishment for heckling is that a celebrity targets one girl and says it would be funny if she got raped by 5 guys right now?
How is THAT in any way acceptable? Here we are, getting up in arms about rape jokes not being funny in any context, and this man targets one particular victim and says such things? And he gets away with it?
And here's his half-hearted apology on twitter :
"All out of context misquotes aside, I'd like to sincerely apologize," he began, linking up to the aforementioned blog. "The point I was making before I was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them #deadbabies."
Lame. There were people defending him saying it' his "style" to be outrageous and shocking …yada yada…
If this is what it means to have a sense of humour, well, sorry to say, I am completely lacking one.
PS: The comments in the linked up article are even more depressing.

Maybe you'd be interested in this. The guy is in apology mode. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1aeNJ9/:VEpPa01H:Iv9B2xYv/www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/comedy-central-daniel-tosh-rape-joke-347986/
Wikipedia says Tosh suffers from social anxiety disorder. Maybe he's trying to aggravate it and see what happens. Some celebrities just don't know how to address their curiousity levels on such serious matters like rape, murder etc.,
I am not sure of what to make of the incident. Personally speak I do not approve of the incident but then it is the job of a Comedian to say inappropriate things which might get a response from the audience and sadly as you & the lady who heckled him mentioned he did get a response from the audience present.
Not that I am supporting Tosh but the fact is it is people like us who appreciate only the inappropriate jokes and feel offended when it affects us in some way. Would the lady have left the show when he made a racist joke, or a gay joke because that is equally inappropriate and offending to certain people.
I think it is the same point Tosh tried to make in his tweet that almost everything he would speak in his show would be offending to one person or the other; it is his job to make fun of it.
Something I read on a blog I visit regularly that's related to what you have been saying.
I think this also explains the shameless attitude of the mob molesting a girl in Guwahati and how they made a spectacle of themselves while being shot for the whole duration. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/guwahati-s-shame-30-men-seen-molesting-girl-just-four-arrested-242840?pfrom=home-lateststories
Even though I was aghast at the mere idea of having a joke about rape, I'm very sure there must have been, and are, lots of people out there who would actually find such a thing funny.
We in India, seem to have developed a strange sense of humor. Don't you see the rave reviews about movies which offer explicit abuses and foul language ? People just seem to go berserk with joy after every such movie.
Youngsters find it extremely funny to use crass language while talking to each other. So, no wonder they may and do find things as rape to be funny. Perversion seems to be the latest ingredient for fun for people these days.
My first time on your blog. Looking forward to read more from you.
Tosh's humor is really not humor a lot of times. I find it distasteful plenty of times. But this just is too much. His apology doesn't even found sincere. Uggh.
Here's something else I find very offensive : http://fishingforcomments.blogspot.com/2012/07/not-funny.html
Hi Chandni,
I agree that Tosh said disgusting things in response to being heckled by the woman. Yet, I don't buy the argument that you can't make a joke out of some topic because it is offensive. That, on its totality, is quite a vague idea. Who polices that list? Who decides what is moral and immoral?
Agreed joking about Rape is awful, insensitive and some of us can't wrap our heads around how people can actually joke about it. Yet, lots of comedians do make jokes about everything under the sun and in the most despicable manner…rape/incest/pedophilia/holocaust…it doesn't matter. When you buy tickets for a Tosh show you know what you are signing up for…
Bob Saget, George Carlin, Louis CK…for example are famous comedians who haven't been pulled up the way Tosh was. They are funnier and they have been edgier. There have been dirtier responses given by Comedians who have been heckled;
Think about it. Is Rape the only topic that comedians shouldn't joke about?
Regards, Serendipity
Who is this Tosh? Remind me again why comedians are necessary. I haven't been to any comedy shows, and I don't miss their contributions. I think if more of us should start ignoring such pointless entertainment. If he/she has no audience then they have no power any more. Just my two cents.
I agree with you about rape not being funny.
But were you laughing at Chatur's speech in the movie "Three Idiots"?
Why go for a foreign comedian? Aren't we Indians just as bad laughing our heads off about "Balatkar", flocking to theatres to see this movie and watching this particular scene on youtube more than a million times? And this movie won accoladas and awards?
I recently read a post by Kiran Manral on her blog karmickids, where she took her son to watch this movie and the child asks his mother: What does balatkar mean?
Imagine the child associating this word with a theatre full off people laughing their head off while this speech is being given.
I would like to ask you your question?

What is P.o.P or the Priests of Pallas?
The Priests of Pallas was a week-long festival held annually in Kansas City from 1887 until 1912, and revived briefly from 1922 to 1924. Festival supporters set out to promote Kansas City's image as the "Athens of the West" and to parallel other celebrations such as New Orleans's Mardi Gras and St. Louis's Veiled Prophet. Pallas Athene was the patroness of the festival and motifs were based loosely on figures from Greek mythology.
Festivities included three parades with ornate floats, and numerous concerts and other performances. Nightly parties culminated with an elegant masked ball where guests received an official annual souvenir. Examples of some of these souvenirs can be seen in the Missouri Valley Room.
In 2005, several local historical groups combined to re-create the Priests of Pallas masked ball at Union Station.

Professor Snape, a.k.a. actor Alan Rickman, stopped by The Tonight Show on Wednesday to talk about his movie A Little Chaos – and put the late-night host in the hot seat.
The Harry Potter actor called out Fallon for the time he and Benedict Cumberbatch did an impression of him on the show – a "Rickmanoff," as it was called. To get Fallon to admit to his ways, Rickman took a page from the Helen Mirren playbook and busted out a truth serum of sorts: helium balloons, which he referred to as "Jimmy Fallon truth-telling machines."

Thirty-three years later, he's stepping down from a late-night landscape that changed around him, having stayed true to himself as the medium changed from appointment viewing to something to be easily digested the next morning in three- to four-minute clips.
"I recognized the value of it," Letterman told The New York Times back in April of his competitors' tendency to gear their shows toward digital audiences. "It's just, I didn't know what to say. You go back to your parents' house, and they still have the rotary phone. It's a little like that."

It's for this reason (or the slight resemblance of her last name to that of Jeff Bridge's famous L.A. slacker) that Lipinski agreed to perform the Dude's onscreen dance to Kenny Rogers's "Just Dropped In" for Jimmy Fallon. On ice. While holding a White Russian.

The astronomical object 4U0142+61 has the distinction ofcreating the most powerful magnetic field ever observed. Thisobject is referred to as a "magnetar" (a subclass of pulsars), andits magnetic field is 1.30E+15 times greater than the Earth'smagnetic field. Suppose a 1.77 m straight wire carrying a currentof 2.40 A is placed in this magnetic field at an angle of 66.9° to the field lines.
1. What force does this wire experience?
2. A field this strong can significantly change thebehavior of an atom. To see this, consider an electron moving witha speed of 2.62E+6 m/s. What is the maximum magnetic force exertedon the electron?
3. Calculate the ratio of this magnetic force to theelectric force a proton exerts on an electron in a hydrogen atom.The radius of the hydrogen atom is 5.29E-11 m.

It was repaired, and was told a new dash piece was being overnighted to replace the burned section. The next afternoon still no part showing, I was pulled into the terminal managers office late in the afternoon and told I was being told to go home at my expense via the bus for further investigation. The reason was there were "to many wires" in the truck, siting my xm radio, a gps unit about the size of two packs of cigarettes, and of course the standard issue cb radio. Also siting that the truck was a mess when it was towed into the shop.
Gee let see now there was a fire, the breaks were stomped pretty hard due to the excitement of a fire, and things hit the floor. An fire ext was set off as well. mess??? I'd hope there was to say there was one. but it wasnt BURNED To the ground.
5 days later I found out I"M fired because of all this. I'm still trying to figure out where I'm at fault here. Other than driving for this company to begin with. OH yes. I"m suppose to have a cat, they are a company that allows pets, but i'm still looking, because my last pay check I didnt recieve because they took it as a pet deposit. So now I have NO job thanks and no money.

The six-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program is highly selective and open to freshmen only. The Office of Admission carefully evaluates each candidate's strength in the following areas:
Including the rigor of the high school curriculum and academic performance.
We review only SAT or ACT results.
Including an additional paragraph required of all Pharmacy applicants.
We require a minimum of two letters: one from a science or math teacher and one from a guidance counselor or a teacher from another subject area. These letters of recommendation should comment on your personal motivation, initiative and interpersonal skills.
Including employment experiences and interests outside of the classroom.
- The College of Pharmacy website provides detailed information regarding standards required for continuation in the Pharm.D. program, as well as graduation requirements.
- We strongly encourage Pharm.D. applicants to submit all of their application materials by the December 1 Early Action deadline. The Admission Committee makes every effort to notify Pharm.D. applicants of their admission status mid January. We do elect to review mid-year senior grades from many applicants to Pharm.D. before issuing a final admission decision.
Admitted Pharm.D. Profile for 2015
- Approximately 30% of applicants are admitted for a freshman class of about 130.
- Applicants who are not admissible to the Pharm.D. program who may be admissible to other programs at URI will have an opportunity to request consideration for admission to another major.
All incoming students, including those accepted into the College of Pharmacy's Pharm.D. program, begin in University College for Academic Success, URI's designated academic advising college.
Students accepted as Pharm.D. majors must maintain their eligibility in the program by successfully completing two pre-professional years of coursework and a formal interview. The interview with College of Pharmacy faculty assesses the students' verbal and written communication skills, understanding of the pharmacy profession, and commitment to patient care.
Within the pre-professional curriculum, there are 19 specific general education courses that students must take—passing each with a minimum GPA of 2.5 and receiving no other grade less than a C-. Students must complete the required Communications and Writing courses by the end of the their third semester (fall of the second year) at which time they must successfully complete the formal interview to proceed into the first professional year (P1) of the curriculum.

By Jamie Merisotis
A new report on college attainment contains good and bad news for New York. On the positive side, the demand for skilled workers is growing, and thousands of jobs are available around the state. Unfortunately, there aren't enough college-educated residents to fill those positions, and unless the pace of attainment picks up, New York won't have enough talent to meet its future workforce needs.
According to our report, "A Stronger Nation through Higher Education," New York ranks 11th in the nation for college attainment, with 44.6 percent of working-age adults (ages 25 to 64) holding at least an associate degree as of 2011. That figure is up from 2010, when the rate was 44.1 percent, but represented a dip from state's 2009 attainment rate of 44.6 percent. In short, New York is not gaining enough ground.
While it's good to see degree attainment moving in the right direction, research from the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce finds that 63 percent of all jobs in New York will require postsecondary education by 2018. This means that New York is facing a talent gap, and none of the state's largest metro areas is immune from it. In the Buffalo metro area, 44.82 percent of adults have at least a two-year degree, compared to 49.27 percent in Albany, 47.72 percent in Rochester and 46.01 percent in New York-Long Island.
New York's attainment gap may not seem particularly alarming until you consider the evidence that employers simply can't find enough skilled people to fill existing job openings. A scan of statewide classified ads reveals that there are nearly 2,400 job openings requiring at least a two-year degree in the fields of engineering, health care and information technology alone.
So what can New York do to produce more talent? For starters, new models of student financial support must be created. More leaders must engage on making college more affordable, making costs more predictable and transparent, providing incentives for completion and aligning federal, state and institutional policies.
New York also needs more legislators focused on increasing attainment for underserved populations. The matter of equity is critical. Degree attainment rates in New York continue to be unbalanced across races and ethnicities.
New York must also do a better job aligning postsecondary attainment and the labor market. We encourage employers, chamber officials and education leaders to aggressively collaborate to increase attainment, better matching what students know with what employers need.
We applaud the work of organizations like Say Yes to Education Buffalo. This work isn't easy, but the rewards for success will be great. That's why we encourage more policy makers, business executives, civic leaders and higher education institutions to join in this effort.
Jamie Merisotis is president and CEO of the Lumina Foundation.

Nice looking fan
The fan is great and just what I wanted, but after installing the fan we found that the remote doesn't work. We really didn't want to disassemble the fan to return so we are keeping it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Looked just like the picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The fan is great, the remote doesn't work

Ingredient Intel: Tamari Time!
Ever pondered the difference between soy sauce and tamari? Both start with by-products of fermented soybeans, but soy sauce is brewed with wheat to speed up fermentation, while tamari has little to no wheat (and is often gluten-free). Tamari is darker than soy sauce, with a more delicate, less salty flavor. You can often use the sauces interchangeably, but choose tamari when cooking with mild ingredients so their flavors shine.
Here are some delicious ways to use this savory sauce:

A Pretzel That's Knot
When you think of a soft pretzel, the first thing that comes to mind is probably what we see on every street corner of New York City: a classic, knotted pretzel covered in coarse salt and wrapped in paper. However, a new pretzel is taking recipes, grocery stores and menus by storm: the pretzel roll.
We first fell in love with these pillowy buns in our Oktoberfest Faves column, but now even Rach is getting on board with her new 30-Minute Meal recipe for Turkey Cheeseburgers with Beer-B-Q Sauce on Pretzel Rolls. She gives them a homemade feel by suggesting you brush the tops with water and sprinkling them with kosher salt.
Not in the mood for a burger? These rolls would probably taste good just with a slathering of mustard, like Sir Kensington's! Now how's that for a simple snack idea??

What was born out of a publicity stunt to boost sales of the ailing L'Auto newspaper would in its time become the biggest annual sports event on the globe – with 3.5 billion television viewers worldwide tuning in to watch Bradley Wiggins's victorious ride last summer.
"With the broad and powerful swing of the hand which Zola gave his ploughman in The Earth, L'Auto, a paper of ideas and action, is going to fling across France today those reckless and uncouth sowers of energy, the great professional road racers..."
So began L'Auto editor Henri Desgrange's essay introducing the Tour on the morning of the inaugural stage of the first Tour.
"From Paris," he continued, "to the blue wave of the Mediterranean, along the rosy, dreaming roads sleeping under the sun, across the calm of the fields of the Vendee, following the still and silently flowing Loire, our men are going to race madly and tirelessly."
Madly and tirelessly they raced, indeed. Stages in the opening Tour averaged over 400 kilometres in length; all but the first started before dawn – and the last stage from Nantes to Paris started at 9pm so that the riders would enter the French capital for a prime-time finish in front of 20,000 spectators.
Plans for the first Tour were announced on the front page of L'Auto on 19th January 1903. The original intention had been for a 35-day event but this was reduced to six stages over 19 days following protests from the riders.
Initially, there was little interest from those "great professional road racers" that Desgrange courted, forcing L'Auto to up the prize money, halve the entry fee and allocate five francs expenses per day.
78 riders enlisted of which 60 actually took to the start. They were all professionals – but not all professional riders: carpenters, blacksmiths, innkeepers, teachers, even a trapeze artist, were present at the Reveil-Matin cafe in the Paris suburb of Montgeron at 3.16pm on 1st July when the starting flag was waved.
There were 49 Frenchmen, four Belgians, four Swiss, two Germans and an Italian. The two riders who first signed the register – Henri Ellinamour and Leon Pernette – were never seen again during the race, which took on a remarkably different format than present-day Tours.
For starters – some riders took up to 35 hours to complete the stages. Cyclists who broke frames or wheels had to carry out their own roadside repairs. Participants rode with spare inner tubes around their necks, relying on the moonlight as they rode after dark. Bikes weighed 15kg, some (but not all) had brakes and none had any gears.
The accumulation of what L'Equipe describes as "suffocating dust, blinding sun, buffeting mistral, bone-breaking vibrations, punctures, falls and losing the way" meant that seven much-needed rest days were granted to the "swashbuckling fortune-hunters" during the 19-day clockwise odyssey around France.
Pint-sized Frenchman Maurice Garin, one of the pre-race favourites, won the opening stage in a time of 17 hours, beating his nearest rival by one minute to Lyon – despite a bout of indigestion after eating too many cherries. 23 riders abandoned the stage – but were not disqualified.
One huge difference between then and now was the rule that riders who abandoned stages were allowed to continue the race but would no longer feature in the battle for the overall victory. As such, Hippolyte Aucouturier won stages two in Marseille and three in Toulouse despite giving up the opening stage with stomach cramps and food poisoning, while Switzerland's Charles Laeser became the first foreigner to take a win, in stage four to Bordeaux, but did so after throwing in the sponge during the previous stage.
Nicknamed 'The White Bulldog' because of his tenacity and choice of attire and 'The Little Chimney Sweep' because of his stature (1.62m) and previous profession, Garin held a two-hour lead by the time the race reached Toulouse.
The 32-year-old won stage five to Nantes as his closest rival, Leon Georget, abandoned when falling asleep while having a rest on the side of the road. Garin, a heavy smoker who kept himself alert with frequent swigs of red wine, took his third stage win on the final ride into Paris to secure the overall victory by just under three hours over Lucien Pothier, a trainee butcher.
Garin was not the only winner: L'Auto managed to push its circulation to more than 100,000 as a result of their gimmick, leaping ahead of its main competitor Le Vélo, which was forced out of business within the year.
The inaugural Tour's total distance of 2,428km was covered in an average speed of 25.678 km/h compared to the average speed of 34.9 km/h set by British winner Wiggins over 3,488km in 2012. Where Wiggins rode into Paris sporting a yellow jersey, Garin entered the city with a simple green armband with the famous maillot jaune not making its first appearance until 1919.
In stark contrast to modern day Tours – most of which are decided on the precipitous slopes of the Alps and the Pyrenees – the first Tour was largely flat with no forays into the mountains.
Following the invention of gears, race organisers introduced the famous Col du Tourmalet in 1910 – and gave a prize of 100 francs for the one man, Gustave Garrigou, who reached the top without dismounting. A year later, the first Alpine ascent was introduced in the form of the unforgiving Col du Galibier.
Of the 60 entrants, only 21 riders completed the entire inaugural race in 1903 and Garin's overall victory by 2hrs 59mins and 31secs remains the greatest winning margin in any Tour de France. With his 3,000 francs prize money (around £25,000 in modern currency) Garin bought a gas station in Lens where he worked for the rest of his life until his death, aged 85.
Garin retired from cycling in 1904 after his victory in the second Tour de France was overturned and he was banned for two years when it was revealed that he – and 11 others – took a train during part of a stage. The disqualification of the top four riders in the overall standings is perhaps proof that even in its infancy, the Tour was affected by those not adverse to performance-enhancing methods.
