A Very "Different" Harvard ProfessorWilliam C. Taylor
Posted on Harvard Business Review: May 3, 2010 11:01 AM
Harvard Business School professor Youngme Moon has emerged as one of the world's compelling voices on the future of strategy, competition, and brands. She teaches one of HBS's most popular courses, she has written some of its best-selling case studies, and, a few years ago, she co-authored one of the most provocative articles that HBR has published in years. So it's no surprise that her new book, Different, is both refreshing in its honesty and challenging in its implications for established companies (and cautious leaders) in all sorts of industries.
Professor Moon's message is as simple as it is powerful: Most companies, in most industries, have a kind of tunnel vision. They chase the same opportunities that every other company is chasing, they miss the same opportunities that everyone else is missing. It's the companies and brands that see a different game that win big—but all too often, the big companies in a field see things exactly the same way.
"In category after category," she writes, "companies have gotten so locked into a particular cadence of competition that they appear to have lost sight of their mandate—which is to create meaningful grooves of separation from one another. Consequently, the harder they compete, the less differentiated they become ...Products are no longer competing against each other; they are collapsing into each other in the minds of anyone who consumes them."
It's hard to argue with this insight. It always feels risky, and at times it can feel downright scary, to start from scratch and do something new, whether it's launching an entrepreneurial venture or championing a game-changing venture inside an established organization. There are so many uncertainties, so many variables, so much that can go wrong, especially in an environment with so little room for error. But when it comes to thriving in an age of widespread uncertainty and rapid-fire innovation, the only thing more worrisome than the prospect of too much experimentation and change may be the reality of too little experimentation and change. There are too many competitors chasing too few customers with products and services that look too much alike.
That's what occurred to me a few years ago as I listened in on one of those hush-hush, invitation-only conferences for CEOs and top executives. This conference was for leaders of regional banks across the United States. The setting was beautiful, but the mood was somber. Much of the talk was about tough the business had become: Credit markets were wreaking havoc with profit margins; acquisitions were creating a handful of giants that were putting the squeeze on mid-sized rivals; customers had become demanding, fickle, impossible to please. (This was, by the way, well before the worldwide financial meltdown, back when bankers thought TARP was what groundskeepers used to cover an infield during a rain delay.) There were lots of bankers, with lots of problems, looking for sympathy from one another.
It was enough to make me, as an outsider, feel sympathetic too, until one industry insider explained an overlooked source of the bankers' pain. This market-research guru runs a firm that has conducted thousands of "mystery shops" and interviews with front-line employees at retail banks. He told the executives that during their visits, his firm's researchers always ask bank employees one question: "As a customer, why should I choose your bank over the competition?" Two-thirds of the time, he reported, front-line employees have no meaningful answer. They either say nothing or they "make something up on the fly."
The bank executives seemed unsurprised. I was stunned. How can the leaders of any company expect to outperform the competition when their own people can't explain what makes them different from the competition and better than they've been in the past? That's the real problem with so many organizations today. It is also the huge opportunity for executives, entrepreneurs, and innovators of all stripes who are prepared to shake up their industries by doing something truly distinctive.
The most successful companies and leaders don't just try to outcompete their rivals at the margin. Instead, they aspire to redefine the terms of competition by embracing one-of-a-kind ideas in a world filled with me-too thinking. They aim to create what Professor Moon calls "idea brands," products and services whose performance and personality in the marketplace challenges the limits and assumptions of entire categories. Cirque du Soleil is an idea brand, a circus that reimagined what a circus could be. So is Harley-Davidson, which invented the concept of the white-collar, weekend "biker outlaw." And Dove soap, whose Campaign for Real Beauty challenged preconceived ideas from the worlds of fashion and style.
"Idea brands are not perfect brands," Professor Moon warns. "Far from it. They are polarizing brands. They are lopsided brands. They are brands devoted to the skew ...They may not make much sense on paper, but they make perfect sense to us."
It all makes perfect sense to me. If you want to take the idea of "idea brands" seriously, ask yourself: If your company went out of business tomorrow, would anybody really miss it? I first heard this question from advertising legend Roy Spence, who says he got it from Jim Collins of Good to Great fame. Whatever the original source, it is worth taking seriously as a guide to what really matters in terms of strategy and marketing. Why might a company be missed? Because its products and services are so distinctive, its culture is so unique, and its mission is so compelling. Few organizations meet any of these criteria, which may be why so many companies feel like they're on the verge of going out of business.
Think about it: If you do things the same way everyone else in your field does things, why would you expect to do any better? Being different is what makes all the difference.

There is a great deal to keep you entertained while you're at Les Roches. You can wind down at the Café du Village playing electronic games, table tennis and Fussball.
You could go out for a drink or a meal at Le Petit Paradis nearby, and there is a wide range of restaurants, bars, clubs and shops just 10 minutes away in Crans-Montana.
Your student social committee will be in charge of organizing social and cultural activities. These take place on and off campus, and can include everything from dinner parties to quiz nights, and organized trips to cities such as Milan and Lausanne. They find all sorts of ways to have fun, and in 2012 our students set the world record for the most nationalities in a swimming pool. In 2013, they held a Master Chef competition and Les Roches' Got Talent.
A highlight each semester is Cultural Night. Twice a year, you will have the opportunity to celebrate your country – in song, dance, comedy, Martial arts – however you want. After the shows, there's a chance to taste food from all the countries represented.
The full-time sports coach helps students maintain a balanced, healthy lifestyle during their time on campus. Depending upon the season, students can participate in sports on campus such as volleyball, basketball, football or swimming.
The campus also has a fully-equipped, modern gym and fitness center. Additionally, the sports coach organizes trainings and competitions for team sports with other universities.
Crans-Montana offers the possibility for diverse winter sports such as curling, dog-sledding, ice-skating, cross-country and down-hill skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, toboggan and snow-tubing.
If you are tempted to try a new sport, lessons and equipment rental can be easily arranged.
Visits to local places of interest are organized throughout the year. From cheese and chocolate factories to vineyards, fine-dining establishments, and arts or wine festivals, the list is pretty much endless.
A favorite student haunt is the local 'Le Petit Paradis', though Crans-Montana also abounds with restaurants, clubs and shops.
Les Roches students benefit from the school's partnerships with local businesses and alumni, and enjoy discounts and special deals at restaurants, shops, hotels and boutiques, as well as reduced rates for ski-passes and car rentals.
You can be almost anywhere in Switzerland by train within a few hours. And you can be almost anywhere in Western Europe in less than 2 hours flying time from Geneva.

Flags ordered at half-staff for "Walkin' Joe"
Former Missouri Governor Teasdale passed away Thursday
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Governor Nixon has ordered all flags to be flown at half staff until former Governor Joseph Teasdale is laid to rest.
Teasdale passed away Thursday.
He was elected as Missouri Governor in 1976 at age 40. Prior to that appointment, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Kansas City. At 30 years old, he was the youngest prosecuting attorney in the history of Jackson County, Missouri.
Most remember him for walking across the entire state to personally meet with Missourians during his 1976 campaign.
He is especially known for his support of Missouri seniors, as he created the Division of Aging and pushed for passage of the Nursing Home Reform Act, and he supported the removal of the state sales tax on prescription drugs.

Demetry Pikrallidas, Car accident Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Doug Sparks is one of the most tenacious lawyers I have ever worked with. He is also detailed, methodical, passionate and knowledgeable in the field of injury law. Anyone who hires Doug has one of the best in their corner.
Michael Berler
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I worked for Douglas Sparks for 4 years, and everything I learned about the practice of law I learned from him. Doug is the kind of lawyer that should teach a course in civil litigation. He could write the manual on how to succeed as a Plaintiff's attorney. Using the best practices I learned from him has put me miles ahead of other lawyers, even those with much more experience. Doug is one of the few lawyers who actually reads every word of every legal document exchanged in a lawsuit. He makes no assumptions and methodically makes reference to every pertinent rule and examines every case the defense cites. Before a Defendant serves discovery, Doug already has a shelf full of indexed binders; he is always 3 steps ahead of his opponents. He never, ever gives up; he never for one moment believes he can't find a solution to any legal dilemma. You would be hard pressed to find a lawyer who is smarter, more ingenious, tenacious, harder working, or who cares more about his clients.
John Kessel, Personal injury Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer's work. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Doug as co-counsel on a major premises liability case which was successfully concluded without trial. Doug is aggressive and creative and is always several steps ahead of his opponents. No lawyer works harder to discover the witnesses and proof necessary for success in complex personal injury litigation. No lawyer is more devoted to his clients' cause.

Encounters at the End of the World Parent Review
Whatever his opinions (or tendencies to meander) may be, this one thing is sure: "Encounters at the End of the World" presents a picture of Antarctica unlike any you have seen.
Movie Review
Having lived most of my life on the Canadian prairies, I have often wondered why anyone with enough money for a plane ticket would ever decide to travel to Antarctica. For me, thoughts of exploring the world always feature locales with palm trees and sunny beaches. So what makes some people chose a continent perpetually covered in ice and snow?
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Apparently, I'm not the only one who has ever contemplated this question. So has filmmaker Werner Herzog. But his query is a little different than mine. Uninterested in the possible appeal of sub zero temperatures, instead of asking why, he asks "who?"
Traveling to the southern most end of the world, with only cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger in tow, the prolific director turns his attention, microphone and camera lens on the human beings populating this frozen piece of the globe. His interviewees include bus drivers, heavy machine operators, plumbers, survival trainers and, of course, research scientists. And what does he find these 1000 or so red-parka wearing persons have in common? Well, a lot of these self-described "dreamers" have substantial education, deep philosophical perspectives and a strong desire to go where few have gone before.
Visiting various outposts, he introduces viewers to the residents of McMurdo's Research Station (modern enough to have a yoga class and an ATM machine), the primitive hut of scientists investigating the nutritional properties of seal milk, the augured holes of deep-sea divers looking for single-cellular life on the ocean floor, and the dwellings perched on the side of a volcanic mountain bubbling with molten lava. As these regulars explain their purpose for being in this remote land and recount their unusual life stories, it is hard not to compare some of them with the rogue penguins we also meet during the film. (These lost souls leave the nesting grounds, but rather than following the crowd to the life-sustaining ocean waters, they head off to parts of the continent uninhabited by any other of their species.)
If you are expecting grand vistas of pristine wilderness, tales of penguins and the plight of seals, you won't be entirely disappointed. Zeitlinger does capture some spectacular shots of underwater creatures living in worlds trapped below ceilings of ice, explorations though snow caves, vast expanses of icebergs and even a few obligatory pictures of the famous aquatic mammals and flightless birds. These sequences are all accompanied by a highbrow musical score, and are very reminiscent of other nature documentaries you may have seen. There is even some archival footage of early explores, and the various professionals have an opportunity to remind viewers of environmental issues and global warming.
But these familiar images and topics are just interesting asides, juxtaposed in a tongue-in-cheek way with his observations of the human animals scratching out a place in the forbidding land.
Some of these have a mocking tone, like when he tries to carry on a conversation with the research scientist who has spent the last twenty years silently observing penguins, or attempts to get a physicist to explain the elusive nature of a neutrino. Others seem a bit sarcastic, such as a community full of nature lovers living in what looks like a dirty little mining town, or the need of mankind to leave their mark on the pole ("graffiti" comes in a multitude of forms, from dead sturgeons to popcorn wreaths). Occasionally he is almost reverent, especially when he compares scuba divers to priests preparing for mass before entering into their underwater cathedrals of ice.
Yet whatever his opinions (or tendencies to meander) may be, this one thing is sure: Werner Herzog's Encounters at the End of the World presents a picture of Antarctica unlike any you have seen before.Starring Werner Herzog, Peter Zeitlinger . Running time: 101 minutes. Updated July 22, 2016
Get details on profanity, sex and violence in Encounters at the End of the World here.
Encounters at the End of the World Parents Guide
In spite of the number of nature conversationalist living in Antarctica, none of the people Herzog talks to mentions the footprint they are leaving on the continent. Why?
Have you ever dreamed of visiting the South Pole? What things would you want to see or do? How does this documentary's look at the people living there contrast with other nature programs you may have seen about Antarctica?

Date of Stay: October, 2012
We stayed here Columbus day weekend. When we arrived at the park our spot was not big enough for our camper. I went into the office and they gave us a new spot without a fight. The next day my husband bought a small propane tank and was given a discount because of our inconvenience. The owner was involved with the pumpkin picking and decorating. She coordinated the trick or treating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We travel to different parks through the season and it's rare that owners put time, money, and effort back into the park. We will be closing out the season here every year.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
We have gone to this campground for a couple years and plan to go for at least one weekend a year. The beach has two sides, one side is deeper than the other side which was great for the kids.

McNerney Votes AGAINST Permanent Estate Tax Relief for Families, Farmers, and Small Businesses Act of 2009
Original post made by Bill, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Dec 7, 2009
Permanent Estate Tax Relief for Families, Farmers, and Small Businesses Act of 2009
On Passage
House Roll Call No. 929
111th Congress, 1st Session
The House passed H.R. 4154, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the new carryover basis rules in order to prevent tax increases and the imposition of compliance burdens on many more estates than would benefit from repeal and to retain the estate tax with a $3,500,000 exemption, by a yea-and-nay vote of 225 yeas to 200 nays, Roll No. 929.

I am completely against tax free receipt of inheritance by a bunch of slackers who never did one single thing to earn it. No good has ever come of giving people money that they have not earned. Tax free inheritance between spouses is fine, tax free money to kids who never did anything to deserve it is stupid.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the "Estate Tax" only affects the top 1% wealthiest Americans. Frankly, I cannot really get my righteous indignation going for the Paris Hiltons of the world being denied a tax free inheritance.

hmmmmmmmmmm seems to me that parents have already paid taxes on it a bunch of times already so they should be able to give it to whomever they want tax free. Afterall, it is their money.

From my college tax course, the original intent was to mitigate the effective power of large estate owners when the heirs inherited vast wealth. In plain English, the estate tax was an attempt by our leaders to chop off the knees of any attempt in our fledgling country for the creation of dukedoms. Obvious, it failed.
From what I can tell, the exclusion amount was never adjusted for inflation much like the alternative minimum tax.
It also has the "one size fits all" problem: it doesn't matter if the estate is in Oklahoma or Marin county.
McNerney voted for this to help the family farms, as I recall. You cant' discriminate against the Hiltons of the world although it does sicken me sometimes when I see the poverty around me.

Surrounded by the wonders of World Heritage listed wilderness, the Capertee Valley is the world's second largest canyon. Sandstone cliffs dominate the escarpment, drawing down into a deep chasm carved into the environment over millions of years. With tranquil vistas and serene mountain landscapes the Capertee Valley is abundant in flora and fauna, providing the perfect opportunity to encounter nature in a natural environment. Under the sandstone layer stretches an enormous layer of coal and oil shale.
Rising majestically out of the valley floor is a monolith in size and spectacle. The impressive peak, Pantoney's Crown, beckons the keen walker to climb its summit. From the top is a 360 degree panorama of the dramatic and breathtaking valley.Visit Website

5G Technology
The gigantic South-Korean manufacturer, Samsung, caused a big flutter in May 2013 when it announced the wireless super-fast 5G technology. 5G technology was tested on the streets of New York. The system is impressive, but it's still in a development stage as all the technologies that underlie the future generation of wireless communications.
When 5G arrives, it's possible that it'll combine wireless protocols with new network designs, spectrum sharing schemes and smaller transmitters. Samsung says that its new transceiver can send and receive data at a more than 1 GB per second speed in more than 2 km and it will be able to replace dozens of GB per second in shorter distances.
This must be compared with approximately 75 Mb per second of the last standard known as 4G LTE. Samsung technology bases on 28 GHz frequency, which can transport more data, but can be blocked by buildings, people, trees and rain.
5G technology was tested in the real world. Last summer, an academic laboratory, NYU Wireless, which forms part from the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, carried out performance tests for Samsung in the New York and Austin and found out that this technology, also known as millimeter wave cellular, could work properly event at 200 meters from the transmitter and even in a charged environment.
"Many people have the same reaction and ask themselves how can this work, but we proved that it can be done. Our actions contributed that Samsung and the rest of the wireless technology industry could rely on the viability of the wireless technology based on 28GHz." says the director of NYU Wireless, Theodore Rappoport.
It's true that till now the industry implemented the most basic functions of 4G LTE. The use of more sophisticated characteristics will allow improvements in the data rate. One of them is "aggregate operators" or the ability of using multiple frequencies at the same time in order to send a signal. Another is the use of multiple antennas, similar to the Samsung technology ones. Finally, there can be used several tricks of signal processing in order to efficiently increase the bandwidth in an intelligent way, coordinating the base stations efforts and the network devices in order to avoid interferences.
5G technology advantages
The most obvious and important 5G technology advantage is the incredible speed. It was tested in South Korea where the data downloading speed was so fast, that users could download a movie in merely 1 second. How is that for fast?
The South-Korean company said that the data transmission was more than 1 GB per second at the distance of 2 km. We have to wait for more years for this outstanding technology but it's definitely going to upswing the market. This technique won't be released until 2020 and its transmission technology will be 100 times faster than 4G technique. 5G technology will provide facility to download burdensome files and high quality digital movies without any boundaries.

Right with this write-up, I must say i think this site needs much more consideration. I'll probably be again you just read much more, appreciate your that information.
22/07/2013 at 3:35
So we'll have to wait until 2020 for 5G? I hope I make it till then 😀 although I must say I'm pretty happy with my 4G tecnology smartphone. It's very fast, but I bet 5G will really blow people's mind! See ya in 7 years!

UPDATE: In lieu of flowers, the Garboden family has asked that donations be made in Clif's name to the Dana Farber Cancer Center, specifically to the treatment of head and neck cancers.
If you knew Clif Garboden, who for many years was the managing editor the Boston Phoenix and a guiding spirit of alternative press, then you'd know he wouldn't want us making a big fuss about this. But we're going to make a fuss anyway. Clif died yesterday afternoon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. His daughter, Molly, broke the news to us today:
As many of you know, my father had an epic battle with cancer about six years ago. While the quality of care at Dana Farber Cancer Institute was excellent, I can't help but believe he frightened the disease into submission with sarcasm and guile.Unfortunately, last month, the "evil Mr C", as my father called it on his blog, returned for another round. Due to the illness, he developed pneumonia and because of my father's weakened state and other health complications, his condition deteriorated rapidly. He died yesterday afternoon at Brigham and Women's hospital in Boston. My mother, brother and I were all able to be with him. He died peacefully and the doctors assured us that my father felt no pain.
The fight never went out of Clif -- nor did his sense of humor. He was blogging from his hospital bed earlier this month, even after he got the news that the cancer returned. In the hospital he fell and gashed his head. Later he posted a camera-phone photo of himself post-fall, and joked that the heart monitor on his finger was making it hard to type.
Frankly, we're still in shock and in no way prepared to write the tribute to Clif that he deserves. We'll do that soon. For now, thankfully, there's an even better tribute: the one he wrote himself, on the occasion of the Phoenix's 40th birthday -- his one-man manifesto and memoir about a life lived in alternative media, and why it was worth fighting for.
It's worth reading in full, but this afternoon we're remembering the way it ends:
The alternative press — the Phoenix , the Bay Guardian
, and the hundred or so alt weeklies toiling in the red states — is
anything but obsolete. It's something to cherish, something proud to be
part of. Something invented out of restless outrage to propel the
cutting edge of things. It survives in a state of perpetual
self-contradiction, a permanent instrument of change — something forever
new and necessary. As I tell the youth of today who venture into our
offices, we're the good guys. We never got rich, but we are going to

Insurance Exchange Consumers Spending More Now, Saving Later
Experts say the Affordable Care Act health exchanges so far appear to be attracting the people they were set up to serve — those with too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough money to buy insurance.
Newly released figures show roughly two-thirds of people using the exchange qualify for federal subsidies.
Peter Newell, from the United Hospital Fund, is encouraged that people seem to be avoiding the very cheapest levels of coverage and are spending a little more upfront, so that they are not hit with huge out-of-pocket expenses later.
"It seems like people are taking advantage of subsidies," Newell said. "There's a nice mix and balance between the product selections New Yorkers are making so far."
Newell and other health experts say people who opt to spend more on their monthly premiums are less likely to face "sticker shock" when they go to the doctor. Others will discover they need to pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars before their insurance actually kicks in.
For instance, the deductible on a standard Bronze plan is $3,000 for an individual and $6,000 for a family, regardless of what the monthly premium is or which insurance plan is selling it.
For standard Gold plans, those figures are $600 and $1,200, and for Platinum plans, there are no deductibles at all.
Deductibles for Silver plans are somewhere in between, but people with relatively low income – around $30,000 for an individual and $60,000 for a family of four – can qualify for extra subsidies to reduce the deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses.
In New York, 20 percent of insurance exchange enrollees so far have bought Bronze or even cheaper Catastrophic plans, and 68 percent have purchased Platinum, Gold or specially discounted Silver plans.
New Jersey is part of the federal exchange, healthcare.gov, and does not have exactly comparable breakdowns. In the Garden State, 12 percent of purchasers bought Bronze or Catastrophic plans, 64 percent bought Silver, and 24 percent bought Gold or Platinum.
Previously, health experts expressed concern that many people would choose high-deductible plans – and then, when faced with high out-of-pocket costs, either avoid necessary healthcare or get the care but renege on medical bills.
Other experts are concerned that subsidies are too generous, and that high deductibles are a good way to curb runaway spending on things like unnecessary tests and pricey drugs that perform no better than generics.

A panel of electronics recyclers discussed various issues facing the industry in the Spotlight on Electronics session Tuesday, April 8, at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) 2014 Convention & Exposition.
The panel, moderated by Jim Levine of Regency Technologies, with operations in Ohio, Atlanta and Chicago, featured Joe Clayton, vice president of sales and marketing for MRP Co., headquartered in Hunt Valley, Md.; Dag Adamson, president and founder of Lifespan Technology Recycling, Newton, Mass.; and Craig Boswell, president and co-founder of Hobi International, Batavia, Ill.
Levine began by raising the issue of glass from CRT (cathode ray tube) devices, saying, "Everyone thinks it's going to go away some day, but it keeps coming and coming."
Clayton said the only thing lacking when it comes to processing CRT glass is the willingness to pay for the service, adding that the capacity exists to handle the material that is being generated.
Boswell also said he saw the problem as an economic one, adding that recyclers have gotten into trouble because they did not adequately price for handling this material. He said the charge is now built into the pricing model in the business-to-business environment.
Regarding OEM (original equipment manufacturers) contracts, however, Clayton said this was not always the case. "I walked away from an OEM contract because it didn't pay me enough to do good," he said.
His response led to a follow-up question on the effect that EPR (extended producer responsibility) legislation has had on the industry.
Adamson said such legislation has resulted in OEMs searching for processing partners based on cost rather than value. He added that Lifespan has walked away from municipal contracts in multiple states because the economics were "just not there."
Levine added that OEMs were "forced" into this approach and are not happy about paying to recycle material that is 15 to 20 years old. "They do their weight limit and not much more," he said.
As a result of EPR legislation, Levine added, recyclers have become the "bad guy" when they have to charge to process material. "How did recycling get a bad reputation?" he asked. "I don't know how we ended up being the bad guy."
Boswell said the purpose of the legislation was to get OEMs interested in their products at the end of their useful lives, forging relationships between OEMS and recyclers.
Adamson added that design for recycling is a key component of EPR regulations, saying results have been seen in this area.
Boswell added that many of the issues related to EPR for electronics have arisen from the implementation of these laws and not from the concept of EPR itself.
"The biggest problem with EPR is the huge leakages that no one is looking at," Clayton said. "Freight costs are eating up a lot of money because OEMs only want to talk to the largest [recyclers.]"
Levin added that recyclers did not have a seat at the table when many of these laws were drafted. "We need to get a seat at the table."
Despite these difficulties, Boswell said he still finds electronics recycling a great industry "because you can still bootstrap it."
Clayton added that the industry is not "one size fits all," adding, "everything is specialized and yet still wide open."
Adamson described electronics recyclers and his business in particular as "green capitalists." He said, "We are making money every day by doing the right thing."
The ISRI 2014 Convention & Exposition was April 6-10 in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.

Betabeat was in the Financial District last night for a small event at another Brookfield property, the World Financial Center, and we walked by Zuccotti Park, the old stomping grounds of Occupy Wall Street. It was desolately empty, but for a few security guards in yellow vests. But a faculty member and researcher at Polytechnic Institute of New York University has created an augmented reality app for the people who missed the protest the first time, writes the Huffington Post, by layering pictures of the protest over the scenery.
Take the app down to Wall Street, and experience Augmented Reality Occupy Wall Street, basically the equivalent of holding a history book at arm's length and looking at a picture of the street filled with protesters. Okay?

Perhaps the best thing about summer in
You're unlikely to want to swim in the sea around
Autumn is cold and wet. The temperatures quickly drop, the days shorten and the sun becomes awfully shy. The difference between summer and winter weather in
Winter is a sad story. The sun rises late at 9am, only to set again at 3pm. It is a dark and gloomy time. Average temperatures are below zero from November right through until March. January is the coldest month with an average high of -2ºC and an average low of -9ºC. While extreme cold is rare, it has been known to get as cold as -25ºC in
The short days are often overcast and you can go for weeks without sunshine. Things can be a little miserable in winter. However, it is a great time for snow sports and there is even a ski resort within the city limits. All precipitation falls as snow from December till February.
Spring is a time of rapid change as temperatures rise, snow melts and the sun returns. It is the driest time of year with only light showers, but water is abundant as the snow begins to melt in March. With subzero temperatures into April at night, melted snow often refreezes causing dangerous conditions on the roads. Early spring is still chilly but late spring sees an average high of 14ºC. Up in the mountains the snow doesn't budge until the end of the season so it's the best time to ski as it is warmer and the longer days are sunnier.

Hey all,
I bought my first WRX yesterday and I gotta say it is a thrill. Bought it from an Dealer in Fairbanks and it was repo'd from Anchorage, (350 miles away). I had the vehicle checked over by a mechanic I know and trust. It seems to have quite a bit of work already done to it, what are signs to tell if it is tuned or not? I believe it is, but I am not sure. Also how can I figure out the exact brand of the exhaust? Just some silly things like that I am interested in, otherwise it runs great and hearing the blowoff valve is awesome as well!

How to Become a Makeup Artist for MAC
Ever walk by the department store makeup counter and get inspired by the beautiful makeovers being done? Are friends and relatives always asking you to do their makeup, or complimenting you on yours? If so, and if you've been secretly wanting to become a makeup artist for Mac, or other top cosmetics companies, than you'll need to take some formal makeup training courses.
Makeup schools teach more than just what the hottest eye shadow colors and lipstick shades are for this season. They teach the basics of skin care, skin types, application techniques, eye and brow shaping, and much more. Oftentimes, makeup courses are part of a larger cosmetology training program, that prepares students to become licensed cosmetologists. You can, however, opt to take single courses in various makeup application techniques, or general makeup courses.
If you want to become a makeup artist for MAC or other makeup companies, you should expect to have to first take a training course either through the company itself or at a recognized makeup school. You may also have to pass a basic makeup application exam to show that you know your stuff and are comfortable working on a client. Every company or salon has their own set of criteria, so be sure to do your research when applying for positions to make sure you will qualify for the job.
Working as a makeup artist for MAC provides a great opportunity to meet all types of clients, work in a fast-paced environment, and log lots of hours of practice, practice, practice. Often, makeup artists who work for cosmetics companies by day often make connections with satisfied clients, and end up taking on freelance work such as doing makeup for bridal parties or other events. Many makeup artists for MAC eventually go on to start their own professional makeup artist businesses thanks to all of the practice and exposure that working for a well-known brand provides.
When it comes to income potential, makeup artists tend to start out on the lower end of the spectrum, but don't discount the fact that there are limitless possibilities in terms of career growth. Just ask special effects makeup artists or celebrity makeup artist, or even those who work in high-end salons in big cities! Some people go to work for theatre companies, applying makeup for every performance, while others work with fashion show models or TV or movie talent.
Before you hit the big time, though, having "makeup artist for MAC" on your resume sure can't hurt if you plan to make makeup your career. Another thing that can set you apart is specializing in a particular technique, such as lash extensions or permanent makeup. Being a brow expert is also a hot skill to hone nowadays. Sometimes these specializations will require you to take additional courses to develop your expertise and talents further.

st: graph added text behaving strangely
Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:08:56 -0700
I'm adding text to a horizontal bar graph. I know that the x range is
[0, 100] and that "in a horizontal bar chart, the numerical axis is
still called the y axis and the categorical axis is still called the x
axis" (help graph bar - I read my manuals).
So, to get familiar with how this works, I added the following to a
horizontal bar graph command:
text( 50 25 "50_25" 50 50 "50_50" 50 59 "50_59")
Can someone explain why these three notes were in a triangle and not a
straight line? I varied only the x coordinate! Yet the last note,
"50_59", was to the right of "50_50," rather than above it where I
expected it to be...
Thanks in advance,

Impeachment and removing the troops from Iraq are two issues that are tied tightly together.
Maxine Waters will be pusing the impeachment agenda hard at this rally as well. She is aware that Bush and the neocons will NEVER voluntarily leave Iraq. This administration will have to be thrown out of office before any troops come home.
There will be a number of critical issues discussed at this teach-in. Everyone in Los Angeles needs to come and pack the Covenant Worship Center this Saturday. Help make this rally spill into the streets and make people question "What is going over there?"

"Maybe HBO Go, with our broadband partners, could evolve", HBO CEO Richard Plepler told Reuters after the Season 3 premiere of Game Of Thrones. HBO launched HBO GO in 2010 to let cable HBO subscribers view shows on Internet devices such as iPads or Android tablets. However, HBO GO is only available to viewers who pay varying monthly fees for cable TV service, plus additional subscription costs for HBO or other premium channels that can push their cable bills to $100 monthly or more. Plepler suggested that HBO GO possibly could also be packaged with a monthly Internet service for a lower cost. Customers could pay $50 a month for their broadband and an extra $10 or $15 for HBO. Plepler in January ruled out an Internet-only product because it's not in the company's best interests. Even so, Game of Thrones has been pirated heavily online, and making HBO Go available to non-subscribers would provide a legal alternative. John Bradley-West, one of the actors on the show, said piracy might be reduced if HBO offered a season pass via Apple's iTunes store. For now, though, HBO is not changing its Game of Thrones distribution windows for DVDs and downloads.
HBO Go Considered For Non-Cable Subscribers: Report
23 Comments
I would gladly cut my cable tomorrow if I could order HBO GO as a standalone service. HBO programs are the only reason I currently keep my cable subscription.
Don't think the cable companies don't know that. That's why I think this idea is toast, at least for now. It screws with the cable model too much.
Yep, considering that HBO is owned by TimeWarner, which has its own cable division,, it is unlikely they will offer HBO only in locations where it is available via cable. Because, most certainly people would drop their cable. Most T.V. shows can be watched at network sites, so there really would not be any need for cable.
Plenty of people have already cut their cable anyway. I cut mine 4 years ago and have no intention of going back. Right now, HBO doesn't cost $12/month, it costs $80+/month when you have to buy a cable package first. Screw 'em.
Now, if they offered an alternative and allowed me to subscribe to HBO without a cable subscription, I'd be all over it. HBO is great, but it's not $80/month great.
@Dan and don't those cable companies just know that. That's why they won't let HBO do it.
uh, hell yes
This is a great idea. HBOs Girls gets about 4.6 million when OnDemand, DVR and HBO Go ratings are counted. Girls is really popular. It's just that the younger audience is watching it later.
You Girls apologists just kill me. Yeah, that's lovely, Jack, but when you factor the same in for anything on Showtime, or hell Game of Thrones, Girls is still pulling in maybe a 5th as many viewers.
I would gladly stop using my friends password and pay for the service. I want to give them my money.
I cut the chord awhile ago, but I'd happily pay an extra 10 or 15 bucks a month to my Internet bill for HBO Go, especially now that I can stream it to Apple TV from my iPad.
I would sign up in a second!
Please! And I hope Showtime follows…
Only two networks worth watching anymore.
Thanks for the insight, Lena! Can you provide any evidence for these ridiculous claims?
HBO claims that "Girls" averaged a gross audience of 4.6 million viewers per episode in its second season, when all linear plays, including HBO On Demand/HBO Go and DVR playback are counted, which is pretty much on par with its first season. Per the network, 27.4 percent of the gross audience for "Girls" comes from HBO On Demand and HBO GO.
Wow, I yearn for the good old days when my cable bill was "only" $100 a month.
Why does everything have to be through Apple? Just offer it to anyone who has internet through an ISP that also offers TV services which is pretty much EVERYONE! Not everyone likes, has or wants to support Apple and doing so through them will most likely cause Apple to charge even MORE money on top of the Internet subscription and HBO subscription so no thanks. Just offer it and I'll gladly pay for it.
can't wait for itemized TV — we need an Apple TV where we can pay for individual channels / shows in a easy legal way.
I've long since cut the cord and I watch Game of Thrones and other HBO series via Netflix – on DVD. Clunky, sure, but far from a hardship. If HBO wants to do a deal with Netflix to get their shows on streaming, I'm more than willing to watch it that way. But I won't nother to sign up for a different service or pay more money.
It's time consumers put their foot down and demand what they want, not what the corporations want. We have all the power, we need only exercise it and be patient. They will crack before we do. After all, we don't need to watch HBO to earn a living, but they need us or they're out on the street.
Except GOT is currently one of the most pirated programs. So many people are not willing to wait for the DVD to be available or pay for an HBO sub, and instead justify stealing it. The sad thing is this rampant theft may have more of an impact on changing the cable model than any other protest. It's a complete win for HBO to be have their service offered wthout requireing a cable subscription, even if an internet sub is still required. Even most homes that have cut the cord still have an internet sub in their home.
I hope this online service happens – I would pay for it in a heartbeat. But if this happens, it better be available in Canada too! Canadians already feel ripped off enough not having access to Amazon Prime and Hulu. Don't American's want our money, too? 'Cause we're just dying to hand it over!
Some people actually can't afford to subscribe to HBO, but can – and do – occasionally subscribe "ala carte" to individual seasons of shows they want to watch, using services like iTunes, or use Netflix and Hulu Plus instead of cable, because it's cheaper and more flexible. I'm one of those people. I'm too busy to arrange my life around a TV show, and too broke to subscribe to premium cable, but for some shows I will scrape up the cash.
If a streaming service like Hulu or Netflix could score a licensing deal to offer GOT for their streaming services, both they and HBO would make BANK. And cut piracy by a huge percentage, I would guess.
I don't have cable. Never have. Never will. I would sign up for HBO Go in a heartbeat if it were offered to non-cable subscribers.
I would pay in a heartbeat to subscribe directly to HBO Go (I don't have cable, I'm strictly Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.) so I guess I'll just keep,using my friends logins to access HBO Go. So I guess they lose…

Heinz Baked Beanz 'Little Brother' (starts at 00:06) – UK
It's all very well having a playmate in the family but what's the good of him if he can't compete on equal terms? Big brothers and little brothers alike will recognise the relationship portrayed in this touching commercial for Heinz which successfully draws attention to the notion that the advertised beans will help build your strength.
Agency: AMV BBDO
Director: Benito Montorio
Aldi 'Gin' (starts at 01:09) – UK
The budget supermarket's advertising in the last few years has consistently reminded the public that alternatives to branded products are a useful way of saving money and there have been some very funny ads along the way – none more so than this lovely film suggesting that the casualties of an Antarctic expedition may have ended up in the pot.
Agency: McCann Manchester
Director: Mark Denton
Shelter 'Bank of Mum & Dad' (starts at 01:34) – UK
Like the Aldi commercial, this film was directed by Mark Denton and it too uses humour to make its point. The Bank of Mum & Dad is in crisis and homeless charity Shelter worries about the implications of a generation struggling to get a foot on the property ladder. There are some great set pieces – none better than the little girl who offers impressive expertise to a nodding interviewer.
Agency: Leagas DelaneyDirector: Mark Denton
Samsung Motion Sync 'Baby Cop' (starts at 03:37) – UK
This viral finds a delightful way of showing off the dexterity of a new vacuum cleaner. The baby looks perfect and it's been beautifully filmed with the lack of gurning and giggling giving it additional impact. The parody of the classic cop chase is excellent – from the crashing through piles of stuff and a narrowly avoided mutt, to the showdown at the end when he finally confronts his villain.
Agency: The Viral Factory
Director: James Rouse/Ed Robinson
Zeo 'The Edge of Russia' (starts at 05:36) – UK
Doctor Zhivago meets Peep Show in this commercial for a drink from the "edge of Russia" as Ukrainian-born actress Vera Filatova (best known as Jeremy's tormentor Elena in Peep Show) takes us on a marvellously over-the-top odyssey incorporating every known Russian cliche.

This issue with the service departments giving people the run around reminds of a time that a good friend of mine purchased a used Hyundai Accent from a "good friend" of hers. The car would simply turn off when driving, either by streets or highway, she called up her friend that sold the car, and she of course was shocked that this was happening. Yeah right!.
She took the car in at two different Hyundai dealerships and they could not find the issue, nor replicate the problem. Each dealership charged her a fee for diagnosing the problem, but of course they could not find anything wrong with the car. She called me up in tears because she couldn't trust the car anymore to take her to work or simply do errands. I told her to meet up with me and I would take her to my Hyundai mechanic that I knew would be able to fix the issue. We drove over to the dealership, and the mechanic took a look at the vehicle and I swear within 5 minutes figured out there was an issue with a part on the car, that he would replace free of charge. He said it was a recall item that was causing the car to turn off during driving. My friend was beside herself and couldn't believe how quickly and professionally this person dealt with her issue and resolved her problem in a couple of minutes.
Long story short, it doesn't matter what make or model you have, if you have a crappy dealership who doesn't care about its products you are going to run into this everywhere. There has to be a solution to your problem, and there has to be a Ford mechanic out there that actually cares about the cars and the people that drive them. What we should do as a community is list the mechanics and dealerships that truly care, and let us bring our business to them.
