Skip to comments.The Eerie, Bizarre Sounds of the Saturnian System
Posted on 11/12/2007 5:41:44 PM PST by NormsRevenge
Sounds from outer space are weird, if not downright spooky.
Be ready for a goosebump or two as you feast your ears on some of the greatest sounds gathered during the exploration of the Saturnian system.

Last one sounds like Forbidden Planet. Is this a hoax?

Would Nasa lie? :-)
The 3rd one sounds like something out of Tron... I give the 5th one 2 thumbs up..
Similar sounds come from the bathroom in the early morning.
Maybe Sun Ra was onto something?
This is awesome. It sounds like the stuff I hear on the late night 'Echoes" radio show.
I suppose these audio recordings are in the public domain since they result from taxpayer funding. It wouldn't surprise me if some alternative musician used these audio files as the foundation of a 'New Age' symphony. Heck, maybe I will....
I keep expecting to hear, "I buried Paul".
The fifth one was awesome. wonder if musicians are allowed to sample that stuff. Sounds like something off Pink Floyd or Coldplay.
they are pretty spacy..
New Age,
may be something there inspiration-wise
I was half-expecting one of those YouTube gags, where it says "turn up your volume" and someone flashes a ghost pic and screams at you!
The second recording sounds like it could be an Atari racing game. The last one was very cool. Would make a great sci-fi movie soundtrack.
I like the Triumph 750 revving up gradually or was it a
Norton? ;-)
Glad we're getting some cosmic music as a return for all that stuff we shot off into the solar system...
I was half-expecting one of those YouTube gags, where it says turn up your volume and someone flashes a ghost pic and screams at you!
Oh no, not me,,
No sir ree,, last thing we want to do at FR is lose a Monthly Donor doing something like that. ;-)
"Bizarre Sounds of Saturns Radio Emission "
This one sounds like a guitar effects ring modulator.
Cool. BMFLR.
This might interest you.
Similar sounds come from the bathroom in the early morning.
now that you mentioned that and it sunk in, I hear ya.. lol
Now, that's just damn funny ........
If I were from Birmingham, Ala., I would probably have said I was from Saturn, too. HehHehHehHeh (See, groing up here in Ga., we loved making 'Alabama' jokes!)
I gotta wait until I get to the office to hear them. I'm sure I'll find them highly interesting.
of course they are spacy...duh they are from space
we are listening... check it out.
Try running multiple clips at a time and get the spacy effect..

That's the first thing that I thought. Forbidden Planet exactly????
Sun Ra! Links to audio samplers of two albums:
Spaceship Lullaby:
Sun Song:
Yeah I remember Indy 500 on my Atari 2600 had sounds like that.
I think that only happens in the movies.
This is radio waves I presume, synthesized into sound.
Yeah I remember Indy 500 on my Atari 2600 had sounds like that.
"Described by Time Magazine as "a cross between Carl Sagan and Madonna", astrophysicist, author and recording artist Dr. Fiorella Terenzi received her doctorate in physics from the University of Milan, has studied opera and composition at Conservatory G. Verdi, and taught mathematics and physics at Liceo Scientifico, Milan. In research at the Computer Audio Research Laboratory, University of California, San Diego, she developed techniques to convert radio waves from galaxies into sound - released by Island Records on her acclaimed CD "Music from the Galaxies"".
That was awesome. Imagine the weirdest sounds ever from 1950's Sci Fi movies...those are the sounds that Saturn makes.
What you get when the space probes act like a stylus on Saturn's rings...
groing? And this is why it's so easy for us Alabamians to make jokes about Georgia. ;)
Oh great, now I've got that last one repeating in my brain brain brain brainbrai...
Remarkable stuff. Thanks for posting.

This is BS. "Radio" emissions are not audible (to humans).
(((I keep expecting to hear, I buried Paul.)))
Actually, that would be "cranberry sauce". :-D
Okay, no one laugh, I'm being dense. What cause and effect would make these radio waves sound like this, and...what do OURS sound like?
You and I are on the same wavelength... I thought exactly the same thing...
Well I heard some scientists got together and decided Pluto no longer meets the definition of a planet anymore. It's now an asteroid and only has a number now. True story.
If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.
I seriously checked to make sure of the URL. It sounds exactly as if it were lifted from the soundtrack. I'm expecting Robby to drive up any moment.

OIU Agents Encourage Bars To Take Proactive Steps For March Revelry
Published: 03/19/2013
COLUMBUS — Over the next few weeks, many Ohioans will be visiting their favorite bar to celebrate the college basketball tournament. As a result, agents with the Ohio Investigative Unit want to remind bar owners "It's your Bar, It's your Responsibility."
"This time of year often means big business for many of Ohio's bars, however we hope bars and their staffs take proactive steps before the reveling begins," said Agent-in-Charge Eric Wolf. "It is our hope that with proactive steps, the bar scene will be safer."

Have not done a P&O before and won't again. Cabin (verandah) on deck 10 was fine and our cabin attendant was great, really all of the staff were really nice. I know in December we would have but running down the hallways, up and down steps, over your head at night and running through the casino, enough rug rats!!
The food in the buffet closed early at night, not enough variety, often not hot enough and no ice cream! come on you hade to go out on the deck and pay for a scoop of ice cream, really it should have been inside with the other sweets. No option of low or no sugar for diabetics amongst the desserts. Really tipped off by the no free bottled water and the best yet no beer nuts or crisps at any of the bars while you have a cold drink. How about a Happy Hour with reduced prices on cocktails? Really P&O do you have to back such basics as water especially when visiting the Pacific in Summer?

'Yellow Birds' takes readers to battlefield
"The Yellow Birds"
By Kevin Powers
Little Brown; 230 pages; $25
Pvt. John Bartle, the narrator of Kevin Powers' sorrowful war novel "The Yellow Birds," is a man of reason caught between the uncontrolled emotions of two men.
The first is his sergeant, Sterling, a gunslinger and molder of warriors. Sgt. Sterling's discipline and his rage against the enemy keep his squad of men alive as they patrol an eerie, death-filled Iraqi landscape. Bartle loves and hates him for this.
"I hated the way he excelled in death and brutality and domination," Bartle says. "But more than that, I hated the way he was necessary, how I needed him to jar me into action even when they were trying to kill me ... I hated the way I loved him when I inched up out of the terror and returned fire ..."
The second man is Murph, a new addition to the unit. Murph is small and just 18, and Pvt. Bartle has made the grave mistake of promising Murph's mother that he'd bring him back alive.
Murph is simply too sensitive and too innocent to be a U.S. soldier in Iraq. Pvt. Bartle, at 21, is just old enough, and sufficiently hardened by the horrors of war, to become Murph's protector.
"All right, little man," Sgt. Sterling tells Murph. "I want you to get in Bartle's back pocket and I want you to stay there."
Powers, an Iraq war veteran, has said he wrote "The Yellow Birds" as an answer to the question everyone who served in Iraq hears: "What was it like over there?"
"The Yellow Birds" is the narrative of a soldier-witness still numbed by what he's seen. It's a beautiful and horrifying trance of a book, as Powers takes us again and again to a dream-like battlefield where unimaginable cruelties are inflicted upon combatants and civilians alike.
The men fight in Al Tafar, in a setting that is Dante-esque, in the broadest possible sense. The men of Bartle's squad go there to see sin and to suffer, and perhaps to survive and be somehow redeemed. The torments they find are described by Powers with a spare, haunting lyricism.
"As we walked on line through the ragged grove we began to hear a sound out front," Powers writes, describing an orchard that's been torn apart by a firefight. "At first it sounded like humbled weeping, closer, a bleating lamb. We moved faster ... and saw the enemy dead strewn about a shallow ditch: two boys, sixteen or so."
In this battlefield, Pvt. Bartle is caught between the conflicting demands of his role as soldier: becoming the ruthless killer Sgt. Sterling expects him to be and being the protector Murph needs. His inability to reconcile those contradictions is pulling him apart while ideas, language and memory are the glue holding him together.
"The Yellow Birds" might just be the first American literary masterpiece produced by the Iraq war, even if an imperfect one. It is a powerful and disturbing statement about the brutality of that conflict.

"Writing comes more easily if you have something to say." ~Sholem Asch
With this latest social media tool raking up in popularity, do you wonder how freelance writers can use Google+? As a freelance writer, I've been using this new social networking platform for a while now and thought to share my views about how freelance writers can use Google+. I have to admit that I love it, as it offers real advantages for freelance writers, or for that matter even authors, bloggers, journalists, or just about anyone!
Google+ is different from Facebook or Twitter, as neither is it a hyper-open network like Twitter, nor a closed network like Facebook. Instead, it has the best of both worlds and fits into the middle ground, which allows the user to maintain a vibrant public persona if they choose, and still keep information private for family and friends.
Similar to Twitter, the "pulser" can follow as many people as they like, or decide to only share information with their "circles", which can be divided into as many forms as the user desires, like family, friends, work, fellow writers, etc.
I have often heard writers ask as to how freelance writers can use Google+. Well, let me share some ways that freelance writers can use Google+.

I read that NuMike is out. They are desperately trying to bring back Mark Collier to play the part again. I hope they get him because I really liked his Mike. However if they do that, I don't want them pairing him with NuLily. I told dh last night that I actually liked NuMike with NuLily, but if they bring back OldMike I DO NOT think they would make a good couple...I wonder what will happen between them when Dusty comes back to town?
Comments (5)
I don't really care for new Mike or new Lilly! I definitely don't want them together. I wish they would bring back the old Lilly & reunite Holden & Lilly.
Tuscania �(Mommy to Victoria & Sophia)
I wouldn't mind seeing the hunk that originated the role of Mike again.
Amy, Mother of a Sassy 12 Year Old
I agree entirely that NuMike and NuLily ok but OldMike and NuLily not ok. I'm not fussy for NuMike or NuLily so I have no trouble with them together I guess. I'm indifferent!
That's totally why I think they work, because I don't care much for either. But if the last Mike (Mark Collier) comes back, I just can't see him with NuLily, *yuck*.
~Deborah~ Mommy to Noah�7 & Jenavieve 5
I don't like NuMike or NuLily. But I would luuuuv it if they would bring back OldMike. He was so much nicer to look at but I sure hope they don't pair him with NuLily.

I love this skirt and I have been waiting a long time to get it because the spruce color is constantly out of stock. Luckily, I was on backorder for the skirt and received it after many months of waiting! I put on this skirt and immediately fell more in love with it! The reason why I'm giving it four stars is because this skirt isn't exactly a maxi skirt on it. This skirt basically hits my mid calf and not my ankle. It's not a huge issue for me because it's gorgeous regardless!

Raw Cauliflower Salad
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
A nice twist on using cauliflower. We've had this recipe in our family for many years and it's always a nice change from the normal salad. Add or subtract ingredients as you have them on hand without greatly changing the overall recipe. Preparation time does not include time for marinading in refrigerator.
Ingredients Nutrition
Salad ingredients
- 4 cups raw cauliflower, broken into smallish pieces
- 2⁄3 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1⁄2 cup pimiento, diced (you can use the jarred version)
- 1 cup pitted black olives, sliced
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onions or 1⁄2 cup shallot
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- Whisk all marinade ingredients together until smooth.
- Pour over salad ingredients in medium-size bowl.
- Allow to sit in refrigerator overnight or at least for a few hours.
Most Helpful
Instead of green bell pepper I used red. I used shallots finely minced. It was my first time eating a cauliflower salad with a oil dressing. It's very yummy. Thanks CobraLimes :) Made for I Recommend tag game
I did make a bit of a change in this recipe in that I cut the oil in the marinade back to 1/3 cup! However, another time I might just use it all & also add several cups of broccoli (tip from andypandy's review)! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook Tag]
DH & I thought this really good. DS found it too oily for his taste. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for a new way to get our raw veggies in, CobraLimes! Made & enjoyed for Fall 2009 PAC-O.

People Protesting Zimmerman Verdict Arrested In Los Angeles
Protesters gathered in Los Angeles on Sunday night (July 14) to protest the acquittal of George Zimmerman by a court in Sanford, Florida.
Police officers in riot gear surrounded the crowd and asked them to disperse leading to the arrest of several protesters who refused to move.
Zimmerman's acquittal on Saturday was publicly denounced by civil rights leaders and sparked protests in several cities, including Boston, San Francisco, New York, San Diego and Sacramento.
Zimmerman's lawyers argued he acted in self-defense the night of Feb. 26, 2012, when, they say, Martin attacked Zimmerman inside a gated community in the central Florida town of Sanford. They accuse civil rights advocates of wrongly injecting the issue of race.
Critics contend 29-year-old Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, wrongly suspected 17-year-old Martin, of being a criminal because he was black. Zimmerman called police to report a suspicious looking person, then left his car with a fully loaded pistol concealed in his waistband.
A fight ensued in which Zimmerman suffered a bloody nose and head injuries, and Zimmerman shot Martin once in the heart.
The teenager had no criminal record and had been walking back from a convenience store where he had bought candy and a soft drink.

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- Denny Hamlin has this fatherhood thing down.
Five days of it, at least.
"It actually hasn't been too bad," said the Joe Gibbs Racing driver, whose daughter Taylor James Hamlin was born Sunday. "She's sleeping most all the time now in between feedings. So it's been relatively easy. So far."
Surely that will eventually change, as Hamlin juggles his new daddy duties along with his role as one of the top drivers in the Sprint Cup Series. But to this point, it's all gone smoothly -- the baby is healthy, Hamlin said his girlfriend Jordan Fish came though the birth without a hitch, both sets of parents have arrived in town to help, and even the dogs seem to get along with the new arrival.
"The experience is great," Hamlin said Thursday, when the Gibbs shop was visited by the NASCAR Sprint Media Tour hosted by Charlotte Motor Speedway. "Your outlook changes, on when you have to leave home, when you have to get home, things like that. How excited you are to pull into the driveway knowing you get to see your daughter. So that part of it is cool."
Soon enough, it will be time for Hamlin to say goodbye to mother and daughter -- the baby is too young to venture to Speedweeks -- and work on bringing home another new addition: the Sprint Cup championship that eluded him again last season. He still shakes his head over how it ended for him last year, when he opened the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup running as well as anyone, and ended it out of contention because of a mechanical problem.
This time, it was an electrical switch that went awry at Martinsville, one of Hamlin's best tracks. He still won five times in 2012, but believes he should have doubled that number, and the way last year ended made it clear in his mind what the offseason priority needed to be.
"You can't have any DNFs. We've seen that," Hamlin said. "There are no more mulligans in the Chase ... It's just too hard nowadays. You've got to average a finish in the top five. That's extremely hard to do, but we can do it. We've been in championship hunts and something mechanical has taken that away every single time. ? Our key in the offseason has been reliability, coming up with a system to make sure our cars are bulletproof when they hit the race track."
These are not new issues at JGR, where Kyle Busch's dominant 2008 season came unglued in the Chase opener because a rear suspension piece simply wasn't hooked up correctly. Jimmy Makar, vice president for racing operations at Gibbs, says the team is working on it. Last year, JGR implemented a system that analyzes potential failures and ranks them in terms of importance, from something relatively innocuous to something that can knock a car out of a race.
"We're real good at fixing failures once they happen," Makar said. "That's something we've always been good at. We're trying to get to the point where we recognize a potential failure before it ever happens, and be proactive instead of reactive."
Hamlin feels the team is heading in the right direction. "Things that went wrong with our cars, or things that fell off or got loose or whatever, it was human error, and you need to take that kind of out of the equation," he said. "To do that, you have to have more than one set of eyes working on your cars. We're hopefully working on some things to make sure that our cars are reliable as the planes you fly in the air."
Right now, though, Hamlin still has a few weeks to bask in his newfound fatherhood before the season begins. "Leaving the house for sure will be hard. I have solace in knowing in just a few months I'll get to see her all the time every day," he said. And there are plenty around him willing to offer advice, team president J.D. Gibbs included.
"I asked Jordan, 'How was he?' I went and saw the baby a couple of days after and said, 'How's he been?' She said he's been really good," said Gibbs, who has four children. "My wife would not say that about me. So it was good to hear that. I said, 'Hey, this ain't easy, so hang in there.' "
Hamlin's crew chief Darian Grubb has two kids, and they might offer a preview of what the driver is in for. "My 4-year-old son's got strep, and my 6-month-old is sick and has goo running out of every orifice she has. So it's one of those things," Grubb said, laughing.
"It's a tough time, but it's also one of the most gratifying times you'll ever have. I sent him a text and said, 'Let me know when you get to take that first nap with her sleeping on your chest, and you'll know what it's all about to be a father then.' He sent me back a one-word text that just said, 'Awesome.' "

With my vacation fading into memory (sob, sob), I'm finally catching up on intermarriage news from far and wide.
Or at least coming out of my erstwhile employer JTA (the full name, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, gives you a sense of just how long that media outlet has been around).
Sue Fishkoff, who has just been named editor of J, San Francisco's Jewish weekly, has an interesting article in JTA about non-Jewish women raising Jewish children. If, like me, you're already familiar with the Jewish Outreach Institute's Mothers Circle (which, oddly, doesn't get even a mention in the article) and have been following this trend for awhile (it's even been covered in The Wall Street Journal, thanks to yours truly), you won't find anything dramatically new in the article. Nonetheless, Fishkoff, who is herself the child of a non-Jewish mother, did a nice job of respectfully focusing on real people and their stories, rather than getting bogged down by abstract issues.
Before you get all self-righteous (I'm talking to friendly commenters who consider themselves the arbiters of true Judaism, as well as the woman who frequently and somewhat inexplicably claims, in these comments, that I think gentile women are better than Jewish women), Fishkoff underwent an Orthodox conversion, so she is Jewish according to everyone's definition. Although I don't think she currently identifies as Orthodox, which, I suppose, means that some in Israel's Chief Rabbinate would like to see her conversion rescinded.
One aspect of the article I question, however, is the following assertion, which is not backed up by any data: "With most intermarriages involving Jewish men and non-Jewish women ..."
I need to research this topic, but I've always been under the impression that, while Jewish men intermarried more than Jewish women in the past, those rates have more or less equalized in the past decade or so. What I have heard consistently, however, is that Jewish women who intermarry raise Jewish children at much higher rates than do intermarried Jewish men.
Also of interest in JTA is an article about a recent study of Chicago's Jewish population, which finds that while intermarriage (and the Jewish population) has increased, the percentage of intermarried families raising Jewish children has also increased:
...the survey found that half of interfaith families are raising their children only Jewish. Previously only a third had been raising children solely in the Jewish faith.

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
So basically this piece contained:
- Self promotion
- A swipe at the Israeli Rabbinate
- Some speculation, admittedly not based on research
- A link to an interesting JTA piece.
Could we please get something better researched and more informative next time?
I attended a panel discussion at Brandeis a few years back moderated by Shulamit Reinharz head of the Women's research center (the name escapes me) there. She claimed that the pattern is fairly steady: (Some/Many?) Jewish men prefer non-Jewish women (partially due to stereotypes of nagging Jewish mothers etc.), after a few years, the Jewish women, realizing that something is afoot, start to search out non-Jewish men. For several years, Jewish women suffered from negative stereotypes (nagging, "Jappy", prudish, money hungery etc.) while Jewish men benefited from positive stereotypes (responsible, family oriented, professional, stable, money earners, etc.) Hence, claimed Reinharz, non-Jewish women (and Jewish women) wanted Jewish men and Jewish men wanted blonde haired, easy going, respectful, non-nagging gentiles. Due to the absence of interested Jewish men, the Jewish women went searching for their own non-Jewish partners.
I don't know the stats on this, but the audience seemed to nod approvingly and take this cyclical formula as a given. You may want to speak with Reinharz or others researching this field. Maybe things have changed in the past 10 years -- or maybe the cycle has just caught up.
Either way, as you know my comments, I don't think it is positive for the Jewish future.
I'm pretty sure the 2001 NJPS showed that of intermarried Jews, 51% were men and 49% were women, i.e., a statistically insignificant difference. Thanks for pointing that out.

Earlier this week I traveled to Joplin, Missouri, for a trip I will never forget. The Joplin story is one of a community that that never gave up, that demonstrated steely resolve in the face of tragedy, and that is coming back stronger and better than before. It is also the story of volunteers – 130,000 strong and counting – whose selfless service has lifted up an entire community when it needed it most.
For many residents, the one year anniversary was a painful reminder of the devastating EF-5 tornado that ripped through Joplin, killing 161 people, destroying 7,500 homes and buildings, and leaving a trail of destruction through the heart of the city.
But even more so, the anniversary was a symbol of hope, pride, optimism, and unity. The people of Joplin did not let themselves be defined by what happened on May 22, 2011. Instead they defined themselves by what happened after - their extraordinary resilience and desire to rebuild.
As President Obama told the graduating seniors at Joplin High School, "Here in Joplin, you've also learned that we have the power to grow...

Macy's exec shares the do's and dont's of localization
Floating Widget

Before the holidays, we heard from Macy's Chairman and CEO and NRF Chairman Terry Lundgren on why customers (and Wall Street) rave about the My Macy's localization model. The roll out of Macy's new retail model across the country came in 2009, and in just two years, it's evident that the change was a positive for customer satisfaction and sales.
In anticipation of a Retail's BIG Show BIG !deas session, we're taking a look at the operational side of this revolutionary retail model. Steve Nevill, Macy's Executive Vice President, Inventory Management and Support, has been at the forefront of Macy's localization program since it's inception. Nevill shares how Macy's is handling communications, it's online presence and social media with the local customer in mind, as well as what the company learned from launching a new retail model, including a few do's and dont's for other brands considering the same strategy.
At Retail's BIG Show, you'll be discussing "the science" of localized retailing and even more specifically, your work with the My Macy's retail model. Why do you think this model been such a success for the Macy's brand?
I believe it would be a success at any retailer. It's a totally customer-centric model that focuses both on each individual customer and each individual store. The result is assortments, prices, and service that really resonate with the customer because they better match the customer's needs and desires. So customers find more of the products they want, in-stock, in their size, and they buy more. It is also an incredibly responsive and dynamic approach – direct feedback from customers in their local store has a defined and direct path back to our central merchants, and they are expected to act on that feedback. So both customers and our store associates feel a real responsiveness and empowerment from the model.
Macy's operates 810 department stores across 45 states. What do you think is the essential key to ensuring a local feel in each of your stores?
It's really taking an individual store approach to what we do. In the past, and in many companies I used to work with as a consultant, large companies group "like" stores together to manage assortments, allocations, and pricing. But the reality is that no two stores are really the same. Until you build the infrastructure – people, systems, and processes – to really operate at the lowest level, you are not really operating locally. In the end, it always comes down to people, especially the ones in the stores. I always remind our teams that it's the associates in the stores who really interact with the customers, not those of us in the central offices. When we respond to those local needs centrally, then they can engage the customers in a more personalized way.
What was the hardest part of implementing this model?
Well, initially it was hard as we worked to define the new model. We had to challenge a lot of what we believed had made us successful in the past. We really looked widely not at just what other successful retailers were doing, but even into other industries. That made people nervous, and there was a tendency to want to "reign in" things back to the familiar. But Terry Lundgren and the other executive leaders really were good at challenging everyone to believe in the core ideas and hold firm. However, once we really had a good initial vision, it's been mostly about getting people to really embrace the change and live it. There was a ton of change – new systems, a new organization, new processes, new relationships, etc. It was a lot to absorb, and we're still helping people adapt and evolve. The success we've had has certainly helped people believe, but old habits take time to break.
Facilitating an operational change that impacts every part of a company from top to bottom is quite an undertaking. What advice do you have for other companies that might be considering a shift in their retail model?
First, you better have a very well thought out plan. Once you are committed to making such a huge change, you can't immediately start waffling or changing course. You need to be flexible to adjust the secondary operational things, but you must hold the core parts of the model together when you are making highly integrated changes. Second, you better have all the most senior stakeholders absolutely committed. There is no time for politics and games – everyone needs to be clear on the changes required and signed up. Last, you need to be realistic about the time needed to implement massive change. You may make the surface changes quickly, but real change can take years to totally "bake in" and become part of the culture. Constant communication and reinforcement are needed to be successful.
Regionally My Macy's strives to create a personalized experience for each customer. What steps has the brand taken to ensure a consistent brand image nationally?
Because we consolidated from multiple regional buying offices into a central organization, we also were able to consolidate our marketing and branding functions. That now allows us to do national media buys, and have national campaigns (like our holiday "Believe" campaign) that we can merchandise and market consistently in all our stores. We now run national TV spots that reflect the Macy's name and image. We can be consistent for the customer on returns, key advertised events, and product availability when needed. Even our training programs on customer service for store associates are developed and implemented nationally. All of these things allow the customer to have a more consistent experience when they shop and interact with Macy's.
What are your thoughts on localizing customer communications through social media? Has the Macy's brand attempted anything in this sphere of influence?
Social media is almost by definition local, because it's a shared experience and communication between individual people. Macy's is now very active on both Facebook and Twitter. In fact, we've reached over a million fans on Facebook alone! We have all kinds of information on our wall about fashion, style guides, upcoming products, special promotions, and more. We really do look at the individual posts and comments from people, and they influence us. We also have a section where people can directly post reviews and comments on our products, and we look for trends in that feedback. We view social media as a great way to stay connected to our customers, and to expose new people to our brand.
Are there any strategies in the works to take in-store localization online?
We continue to add features to our web site to make the shopping experience more personal. We now have a number of "finder" functions where you can specify characteristics of an item you are interested in, like a coat, and we help narrow in the selections most appropriate to you. We also are working on features that will take advantage of our knowledge of your preferences, and present more customized product selections to you first and make suggestions. We've recently rolled out our "MyCustomer" personalized response program, where customers can directly tell us on-line the details about their in-store experiences. We respond to these, including having our store managers make direct calls back to those customers if they would like us to. We are constantly looking at the connections between our brick and clicks to enhance the individual customer experience no matter which channel they prefer to shop.
As a veteran of Retail's BIG Show, what are you most looking forward to at the 100th Annual Convention?
I'm always excited to connect with many of my friends who work at different retailers around the country, as well as those who work at software vendors. NRF is almost like homecoming for retail! In terms of the show, I'm interested in hearing about how other retailers are positioning for growth. We're excited about the growth we are seeing and our strategies, but we know we don't have all the great ideas and are always interested to learn from others.

Tony Matelli talks about his process
If you look around, there's a sort of quiet, cosmic war going on all around us. You can see it in the cracks of a sidewalk, on attic junk and down the gradual sag of a face. It's our effort against the beat of time. And it seems to be what, at least in part, Tony Matelli is exploring in his sculptural work at the Green Gallery East.
From the outside of the exhibition space, it may seem like you missed the opening night by a few years. Dusty mirrors propped against walls bear the handprints and doodles of bygone humans. Walking up to them for a moment almost channels a quieting, humanistic experience of a cave drawing. And it is then the liminal space you just trounced in on begins to move into focus. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Cassandra Smith at Sky High Gallery
One of the things that's hard not to miss about artist Cassandra Smith is the way she gravitates toward what are often considered decidedly male things. From animal pelts, nautical rope, axes, deer antlers and taxidermied game, she is at home with the raw materials of man caves everywhere.
But Smith imposes pretty paints, sequins and a design sensibility to transform these found objects into something other than what they were. Through direct application of color and pattern, she creates a tension between natural and organic forms and hard-edged geometries. She alters her materials while honoring the qualities that drew her to them in the first place, she says in her artist statement. »Read Full Blog Post

The benefits of this are immense. Plus you will have a little extra cash to spend at the bar during those boring days where not much seems to happen.
There is a lot to be taken into account. In the last post, we discussed The Ashes, which involves international travel. This can be hugely expensive. Even following your favourite team on the County circuit can be pricey. To counter this, why not hace a look at this novel way to make dollars? It does not involve a lot, and is easy to implement.
The same site also has a list of products that are best to be avoided for various reasons. Here is a rip-off software which is going the rounds. Rather stick to tried-and-tested methods. This is no different to batting or bowling, where if it not broken, do not try and fix it.
Making money online also has a lot of other plus points, so it is worth the effort initially. Here is a good way to build an income stream on the web. This is the best situation to be in, as things can just be left as is, but the money still flows in. This good in any situation, but great for cricketers or cricket fans. It can take a little effort to set up but definitely worth it in the long run.
The uses for the money generated will be unique to each person, but it makes sense to spend your hard-earned money on something that you are passionate about. This is great for those cricket lovers.

I'll Take Gingerbread and Honeycomb Over Fruit
Thankfully, Google has started the release process for their latest and greatest Android version -- Gingerbread. I'm looking forward to installing CyanogenMod's spin of 2.3 as soon as it's available. The big frustration for me, however, is that Gingerbread turned out not to be the tablet killing OS we all hoped for. Oh sure, there are some Android tablets available, but until Google allows regular access to the Marketplace, tablets running Android are going to be a kludge.
Until Honeycomb.
It's a bit odd to be thinking about the next version of Android, since 2.3 was just taken out of the metaphorical oven. If you watch this video, however, you might get some renewed hope in the tablet market. I know I sure did:
Granted there won't be any tablets available in time for Christmas that are running Honeycomb (Or Gingerbread for that matter), but it sure does make next year look rather exciting. If I could get the functionality of an iPad with the openness of an Android device -- it might actually entice me to get a tablet computer. When you add the recent release of Google's eBook store, it certainly seems like the big G has plans to compete with Apple, Amazon, and B&N. So while it may not be much fun to unwrap, I might be asking for a raincheck this Christmas. Well, maybe a raincheck and a pony...
H/T to Digital Divide for the awesome video.

I'll take HP's webOS over fruits or robots
I'm still astounded by how productive I am with webOS and how good it feels to have such an elegant workflow. The geek in me loves it as a Linux-based platform with easy access to a shell prompt and a great ecosystem of patches, kernels and homebrew apps. The productive side of me loves that I can multitask my notes, tasks, email, web, twitter, appointments, etc. all while getting unobtrusive notifications that can take me straight to the task when I choose. Oh yeah, and the developer in me loves that it's a web-based platform with many frameworks available to build with. Seems even Google's caught onto this model with Chrome OS.
Toshiba FOLIO 100
Toshiba Folio 100 tablet with modded Android ROM actually works quite well and this is out now. Market works as well. There is still a lot of work to be done of course, the device has only been out since November, but the community development goes fast.
iPads are for iDiots
I saw one in real life for the first time a few days ago. Not impressed.
Who cares about iPad killers
In reality, there are some who will buy Apple stuff no matter what, and would be delighted with an empty box.
There are some who will scream about the "user expereince" on every forum. Even when every second reply is that everything else already has this and more.
Fanboys operate on faith, not reason. The hilarious predictions of how wonderful the iPad would be around launch, and the reality that was revealed in any other brand would have been met with derision. It was met with praise.
You can not win. Nobody can.
And unfortunately, there are many who will crash any discussion to praise their Apple toy. No matter how much of a logical stretch it is to make relevant. Some of which will no doubt turn up here eventually.
So iPad killer.. Who cares. No matter how good it is, the hard core Apple army will never accept defeat until Apple files for bankruptcy. And then the will claim that it was sabotaged by "haters".
The Android tablets however, show great promise. I'm waiting until the honeycomb models come out with a 7 inch screen, 1gig+ processor, expandable storage, and a price I can justify. I recon around 3rd quarter next year, I'll be trying to convince myself to not buy one. An iPad?.. No problem. If I was given one, straight on eBay after I confirmed it was in working order.
Have you looked at the Notion Ink Adam? It's in pre-order now and is expected to start shipping Jan. 6, and it looks like it'll be a fantastic device.
I'd like a low carb alternative :-)
Looks like an iPad "hurter"
Probably not an iPad killer, but it does look like it could take some of the iPad's thunder. Apple's done made their money, just like they did with the iPod & iPhone, so time to move on to the next industry changer!
I'm going to be in line for one of these when they hit! The iPad's nice, but I'll take an open source device every time. I have a habit of wanting to use things I buy MY way, not the way someone else says.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Women's Voices, Women's Vote is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that aims to register single women to vote across the country.
So Portlander Jennifer Elder and her husband of 11 years, Paul Collins, were surprised when she got two WVWV letters April 29, the last day to register for the May 20 primary, saying: "If you have moved, you must update your voter registration in order to vote."
"My first impression was, 'Oh, are we not registered?'" says Collins, who opened the mail. "I could swear we were registered for this address. And of course we were."
Thousands more registered Oregon voters have been just as confused by WVWV letters since last year, according to Secretary of State Bill Bradbury. His office has been calling and sending "please-stop-doing-this-you're-insane" letters since then to WVWV, according to Bradbury spokesman Scott Moore.
The message is, "Assuming your intentions are good, you're causing more harm than good," Moore says.
"They've been completely unresponsive," Moore says. "It's an absolute nightmare."
Besides targeting registered voters, WVWV letters have also gone to dead people and 10-year-olds in Oregon, according to Moore. Bloggers have uncovered problems in North Carolina, where WVWV apparently targeted black neighborhoods with robo-calls after that state's registration deadline. As bloggers note, WVWV's board and staff includes prominent Clinton supporters like Bill's old White House chief of staff, John Podesta.
In a May 5 press release, WVWV called the North Carolina problems an error. That doesn't satisfy the pro-Obama Collins, who says, "Either it's deliberate or it's dangerously inept."
Asked about Bradbury's complaints, a WVWV spokeswoman said, "That has not happened…but let me check into that." We didn't hear back.

None of the sites seem level. Shady but still some sun in Oak woods section of park that has only electrical (NO water.) Our fire pit was in an odd location for the site. The bugs around the fire at night were not too bad. The bathrooms were clean and we never had to wait. We ran the AC the entire time and had no problems with electrical supply. Our site had a tree strewn view of the lake. The lake was great for kayaking and fishing. Caught a 25" pike while there. Also enjoyed biking the park and Loon Island. Our biggest issue was with all the dogs barking and whining. We had 9 dogs to 4 sites. And kids on bikes going way too fast to be in control. - kaseyA
Sep 2014 - $34.00
Very nice park with a new section of full hookup sites. They have 32 new sites that are all full hookup sites. The new sites, some of them backup to the woods and others are out in the open. No low hanging trees, as it is new, and no shade. The sites all are very spacious in the new section. The old section with the electric sites are a little smaller, but are well shaded and more private. Plenty of wildlife. We were seeing deer every time we went for a walk. A nice park overall and we will return. We stayed in a full hookup site. Only downsides were the sewer pipe was about 8-9 inches above ground and makes it difficult to drain your tanks, and the lack of shade trees in the new area we stayed in but did enjoy the big open sites. - PackerFanRick

A great location for a campground - a beautiful lake, plenty of hiking trails, and some fascinating history to learn about in the area. We took advantage of a geocaching class held while we were there, and went to look for one of the caches hidden in the park. However, significant storm damage in the park from a few weeks back resulted in a huge pile of bulldozed trees being deposited on the cache site, and we were unable to extricate it. Considering this is Minnesota, we were expecting to be eaten alive by mosquitoes while sitting around the campfire, but were pleasantly surprised at the lack of biting bugs. The bathrooms are great - updated and very clean, which was notable because the campground was packed while we were there. In addition to taking advantage of the park itself, our family enjoyed learning about the local history (1862 Sioux Uprising) and traveling to nearby Walnut Grove to visit the site where Laura Ingalls Wilder's family had a dugout on Plum Creek. The downsides to this campground: the sites were really packed closely together, at least where we were camped at site 19. Our site was difficult to back into and had a big, muddy puddle at its entrance that was still holding quite a bit of water after three days. The electrical outlet was positioned oddly at our site, and the fire pit was so close to our camper, we had some ash burn a hole in our canvas. Or maybe that was ash from the fire in the next campsite, which was immediately outside our windows on the other side! - goroyals!

On the plus side, the office people were very nice. There is a miniature golf area and a group gathering area at the entrance. There is a small beach at the lake. The park is very quiet and peaceful with adequate shade. On the not-so-plus side, the road leading to the park is dirt, and our car and rig were coated with dust. If there are truly pull-thru sites we didn't see them. The great majority of sites are seasonals.There are frequent speed bumps, which we hate but understand the need for them. Getting our motorhome in was a bit of a challenge, this park is really not geared for motorhomes. Backing in between the trees was a challenge. The "lake view" is more of a "lake peek" due to the overgrowth. There was a public dock with seating, so you can go down and sit and look out on the lake. We lost our hot water and had to use their shower; it obviously was not kept clean; grit on the floor, lots of cobwebs, hair on the walls. We could not get satellite, and cell phone coverage is poor. We would not be inclined to return. - wandering2

A very nice campground. Many activities are available such as game room, mini golf, Saturday night family movies, and swimming. This campground is well maintained and owners go out of their way to make you welcome. The sites are comfortable and roomy. Ours had a nice view of the lake. Also, there are many areas to take a walk and there's a very nice dock. Will stay again. - kamper2

This park is close to a "Little House on the Prairie" museum but a long way from an interstate. More than half of the park is now seasonal sites with full hookups. Each site is very large. They are setup in an unusual triangle pattern with the back of each RV fairly close to the RV on the next street but then each RV has 85 ft of lawn on the door side. Most of the sites are in a wooded area. The WiFi is $5/day and very weak. There does not appear to be any clean water available and the office is only open 2 days a week. Reservations can be made online. - JTD2
Jul 2007 - $25.00
This is a relatively new park with a nice beach on a clean lake. Walnut Grove has an interesting "Little House on the Prairie" museum, dugout house site and special outdoor drama on several weekends in the summer. The park is close to town and well worth a stay if you visit Walnut Grove but it is almost an hour north of I-80. - JTD2
