A Raspberry to Hamilton Collection's Promotion
Time Warp Cause Marketing from Hamilton Collection is Potentially Deceptive and Certainly Less Effective Than it Could Be
Hamilton Collection's "Breast Cancer Charity Collectible Shoe Figurine: Hope" (whew!) is cause-related marketing at its finest, circa 1989.
This product, advertised in an FSI that dropped in September or October of 2006 would have been cutting edge 17 years ago. Now it appears, at least outwardly, to be deceptive.
Why? Several things are conspicuously absent from this ad. The first, of course, is mention of which organization(s) will benefit from the sale of the "Hope" shoe. The second is any suggestion of how much donation will devolve to the unnamed organization(s) from each sale. When that information is missing, it's easy to wonder if the promotion's legit.
Worse, the first sentence of the body copy "…share in the hope for the future with this inspiring sculpture designed to help increase breast cancer awareness…" does little to dispel any doubts. Because you could argue that just having a Hope shoe in the households that buy them accomplishes mission of increasing breast cancer awarness. So who and what is the donation for?
Back in 1989, when cause-related marketing was still in its toddlerhood you could get away with these shortcomings. Now you can't.
I don't know any more about this promotion than what I read on the ad and on Hamilton's website, which mirror each other, but part of the fault could lie with the breast cancer charities. As charities grow in size and their brand takes on additional meaning, they get all kinds of offers to do these kinds of promotions. To divide the wheat from the chaff the charities begin to require minimums, guarantees or additional fees from sponsors.
The approach works, but just as some wheat blows away with the chaff, some legitimate… if smaller... sponsors are lost to the winds.
But not listing the specific amount of donation is Hamilton Collection's claimed donation is the company's fault, and bad cause-related marketing. In general, higher donations increase sales, although determining the exact best donation remains more art than science.
Finally, there's the product itself. Many marketers to women decry the "
pink it and shrink it
" approach that Hamilton Collection has taken here. And although it isn't always necessary for the product and cause to be related in a cause-related marketing promotion, a shoe named 'Hope' and breast cancer seem strained.
So a raspberry to Hamilton Collection for this ill-conceived cause-related marketing promotion.

Wendy and her associates got a modification case in my favor when supreme court's family services laughed at us believing my ex's lies, overcoming all odds. ... And most importantly, she can punch hard but she also knows how to be a fair mediator between two opposing parties.
Posted by Todd
We hired Wendy Prince to carry out a very simple mediated divorce to a mutually agreed separation. My wife and I had in fact created almost all of our arrangements ourselves, but felt it wise to hire a professional to carry us through the finer points. To be clear, we had an agreement in place - and then we hired Wendy Prince. We met with Prince several times and each time was like a completely different meeting. The approach to the divorce was made as confusing as it could be. There was virtually no continuity from one meeting to the next. It was clear after our second meeting commenced that Prince had forgotten everything and she said or we, her clients, said in the first meeting and she stated several times, "Oh I forgot about that..." Notes are required in the legal profession.
My wife and I approached our divorce logically, with virtually no hostility, however, after beginning mediation, Wendy created hostility as my wife looked to her for guidance and my wife followed her lead because of this normally expected professional guidance. Wendy could see that the divorce was a simple one, but created hostility to churn us, her clients. The points of contention that were created that were not points of contention at all. Prince craftily created issues where issues did not exist. That was cleared up by our second mediator who was amazed at the ineptitude of the concepts Prince put on the table for us to discuss.
The divorce process is in fact simple for the majority - roughly 50/50 and place credit and property where it is due. That's all you need to remember.
Wendy Prince is an expert at churning her clients. I am amazed at how badly she behaved.
Our second mediator did a fantastic job of creating an agreement and unfortunately, by his estimates, spent at least half of his time correcting all the misconceptions that Wendy Prince created.
As they say counselor - see you in court.
Posted by anonymous
Mediation helped us save money during the divorce process. Wendy helped us stay calm in a difficult situation and I always felt she was fair. The key is, once you have a negotiated agreement, take it to your own, second lawyer, just to review. This is something Wendy recommended.

Owen: Playful Much?
"Pst, fern," Denver whispered, "look who I found."
Fern gave Denver an annoyed glance before heading toward his next class, it was only a second before he realized that this wasn't just Denver being himself but rather that he had found Aya and turned back around.
"But, I thought you said you didn't go to Lighthouse High…" Fern trailed off.
Aya blushed and looked away, slightly embarrassed. "Yeah…I don't."
"But then why…oh…" Fern started but then trailed off as he took in Aya's still damp clothes and realized she had been out all night in the storm. He smiled bashfully at her. "I'm sorry, I should have realized."
Aya shook her head, still avoiding eye contact. "It's ok."
"Let's skip school today and figure this all out," I suggested, ending the awkward moment.
"Alright, let's find the other two girls then," Denver said with a grin.
"Uh-huh…we all know which girlyouwant to find Denver," I replied with a grin…earning myself another elbow to the gut. It didn't repress my grin however.
"Shut up Owen," Denver said with a grimace.
I was feeling particularly playful today and decided that a little immaturity never hurt anyone so I proceeded to sing a little ditty. "Denver and Cindy sitting in a tree…" that was as far as I got before I was forced to take off running down the halls with Denver hard on my heels. After I put a somewhat safer distance between us I began to call over my shoulder, "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"SHUT UP!" Denver yelled at me between gulps of air. I only grinned and ran harder before coming up to a corner and skidding around. I misjudged the turn though and ended up slamming into a wall. Denver slowed down and walked up to me laughing as hard as he could while breathing so hard. I got up and dusted myself off, grinning as well. "Well that was fun!" I exclaimed with a grin as Aya and Fern walked up, sporting grins of their own.
Just as they caught up I got a glimpse of red hair around a corner and took off running again. "Not again Owen! I'm…done chasing you!" Denver called after me but I just ignored him and quickly caught up to Cindy. Marina was with her.
Marina saw me first and took one look at me, "Oh, it's you…"
I grinned at her. "What? You mean I'm not your very best friend?" I asked with a wry grin. I was in a playful mood however and so let my faint dislike of her stop there."After all,I reasoned,while she did steal my dinner…it was just food…even though she should know not to mess with a guy and his food…no I wasn't going to let that go anytime soon. "We found Aya asleep in the home-ec room and we're going to take the day off to discuss…stuff…care to join us?" I asked, directing the question at Cindy rather than Marina.
"Who is us?" Asked Cindy.
"Us is all the other mermaids."

I came across this article -- it has a few Mr. Mercury & Queen mentions in it!I came across this article -- it has a few Mr. Mercury & Queen mentions in it...! :)My Chemical Romance really know how to suck the fun out of a parade. Seriously, learn to smile.[Click to enlarge] As a genre, "emo," or emotional punk, is known for hyperspecific songs about love, loss, alienation or just about anything that teenage lives revolve around. Grand messages and searing social critiques are left by the wayside because, frankly, the average teenager could care less. My Chemical Romance's multi-platinum, breakout album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, fit this mold perfectly. Their angsty lyrics, machinegun guitars, catchy choruses and dark, almost gothic, image made them the darlings of the MTV emo blitz. So for their follow-up, instead of going the same route, they have thrown out the whole playbook and played the Green Day gambit. The have created, for all intents and purposes, the first ever "emopera." Like Green Day did with American Idiot, My Chemical Romance's latest release, The Black Parade, tells a cohesive story from beginning to end.Taken individually, most of these songs could easily have appeared on Three Cheers. They fit the MCR template. Gerard Way over-emotes his way through the staple "teenager as an outsider" lyrics like he always has. Ray Toro and Frank Iero have never been considered amazing guitarists, but here they show why they are perfect for a band like MCR. They are loud and deft without ever being over the top. Songs like "Mama" and "Teenagers" can easily become rallying cries for disaffected youth everywhere. This is where The Black Parade surpasses Three Cheers and almost all other albums the emo genre has put forth. Lyrically, this album shines like few others Taken individually, almost all of these songs are great works. Taken together, these songs achieve a level unheard of by the MTV generation. The first single of the album, "Welcome to the Black Parade," shows exactly why this album is so good. (Let me preface my next statement by saying that in no way am I comparing Gerard Way and MCR to Freddie Mercury and Queen. Not only are MCR not on the same playing field as Queen, they are not even on the same planet. The comparison is made from a purely technical standpoint.) Instead of taking their cues from their punk and emo forefathers, MCR seems to be invoking the ghosts of Queen. The song begins with what can best be described as a dying man remembering his youth set to the music of a funeral dirge. The lyrics have the singer's father asking him if he is going to be "the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned." Such lyrical and musical sophistication is usually frowned upon by today's teenagers with their short attention spans. The instrumentation from then on is massively baroque. They even have two key changes (that's right, key changes) in the song.Even with all the praise that has been heaped upon it, The Black Parade is a far-from-perfect album. It is fairly obvious to see what MCR is trying to do here. They are trying to elevate emo to a viable genre status and not just as a trendy label attached to sell records. It is also obvious to see that they fail at it. Way may be trying to sound like Freddie Mercury but just doesn't have the vocal chops for it. When Freddie Mercury pulled out all the stops and really let his voice rip, his words acquired gravity and pierced through any barriers you could set up. Way just sounds like a child complaining and whining to the adults around him. Instead of saving the genre and taking it someplace new, this album just shows us that emo has a great potential embedded in it. This just isn't the album to take it there.Source: http://www.qcknightnews.com/media/storage/paper564/news/2006/11/16/KnightLife/My.Chemical.Romance.Closer.To.A.Jack.Than.A.Queen-2506683.shtml?norewrite200611230745&sourcedomain=www.qcknightnews.com

One [part one]
Alison Key has been my ballet teacher since I was eleven and decided that this was what I wanted to do forever. Before that, I learned with a woman called Maggie – I don't really remember that much, only that she made us wear pink leotards and fairy wings for the show, when we were ten.
From my first lesson, Alison has treated me like a real dancer, letting me wear basically whatever colour leotard and legwarmers I want, and treating me the same in private or group classes. In return, I work as hard for her as I possibly can, and go home four times a week so exhausted that all my limbs are shaking. It's a fair exchange.
Today is Saturday.
I arrive at the studio at five to nine, cutting it fine as usual, but there's no one there to see me. She's late. That's not unusual either. When she turns up three minutes later, her speakers under her arm and her bag hooked over the other, I hurry to hold the door for her. We greet each other as she unlocks the door to the dance studio.
"You look a little tired, Georgia," she says to me. "Didn't you sleep well?"
"It's just a bit early for me," I joke – we've had a class at this time for the last three years and I should be used to it, but I don't normally stay out so late on Friday nights. A friend invited me to the cinema and it was a later showing than I'd been expecting, but of course she was planning for a lie-in this morning, and I can't. I'm here by sheer willpower and several strong cups of tea that I'm going to regret when I realise I need the loo and I'm still in my leotard, tights, and warm-up shorts.
The first piece of piano music begins as soon as I take my place at the barre, and I begin with my usual plié. We don't need to speak for me to know this. I've been doing it for so long that it's second nature.
In twenty minutes, we've gone through all of my usual exercises, which don't follow any set syllabus. Alison worked out a while ago that I needed more work in particular areas, so we take things from grades as far back as five and six, though I've been in eight for two terms already. Some of the Advanced stuff is thrown in, and she makes me do the easier steps en pointe at the end if we have time.
We move on to some centre work. She hesitates a moment before telling me what to do.
"What's wrong?" I say.
"I wanted to talk to you about your exam," she says. "We'll do that in a minute. First, I want to see your adage. It's been a while since I made you do that."
It has, and I've been grateful for the reprieve. Even so, I put all my effort into the slow steps, lifting my leg a little higher than I did on Thursday and holding the arabesque for just a little longer, and she declares herself satisfied just before I drop to the floor in exhaustion. It isn't even half past nine yet and many of my classmates from school won't be awake, let alone up, by now. I try not to grudge them the lie-in, though I've had few enough over the last five years.
She doesn't talk about the exam now, or after the pirouette steps that I can't quite master, or when I do twenty four perfect changements for her, until my calf muscles are aching.
"You wanted to tell me something?" I say. I don't particularly want to discuss my exam now. For a start, it's not scheduled until July, and it's only February now. Talking about it makes it seem closer but I'm in no way ready. However, if I can get her onto the subject of variations and what colour I'm to wear, I'll be able to catch my breath and perhaps even take a sip of water, although she is always telling me that I won't be able to do that when I'm a professional, on stage.
Alison looks worried. "I don't think you should take this exam," she tells me.
The water bottle drops from my hand. "What? You mean, I'm not ready?" I've been practising so hard, not to mention the hours and hours of classes. Every day, regardless of how much time I've spent at the studio, I practise for forty-five minutes. I stretch before I go to bed, keeping myself supple even over Christmas when there are no classes, and I can't bear the thought of all of my hard work going to waste.

text: I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ650N notebook model. I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit recently and got the dreaded "fn key malfunctioning" issue, which I was able to quickly fix by reinstalling drivers from Sony's website in a certain order. Changing the display brightness with the fn keys does work, however, whenever I close the lid or put the computer to sleep, I cannot change the brightness again until I reboot. When I try, the little meter pops up but only changes one bar before it gets "stuck". Changing the slider in Power Options doesn't work either unless I reboot. This gets pretty annoying when I close my lid and walk to class each day :\ I've tried this with the most recent NVIDIA graphic driver from Sony's website. When that didn't work, I went to laptopvideo2go.com and downloaded the latest modified NVIDIA driver there to work on my machine. I'm no tech guru (obviously), so I don't even know if the problem is with my graphics card. But my card model is a GeForce 8400M GS version 196.34. I am still experiencing the same issue. Is there any way around this? Some places suggested updating BIOS, which I tried through my device manager. I've already been told that all my drivers are up to date though. I've tried contacting Sony's tech support, but as you can guess, the response was that, "your machine was not designed to run Windows 7...blahblahblah...we have no plans to release future drivers for it as this is a discontinued model...please do a system restore. Kthxbye". As I have said before, the fn keys do work flawlessly before closing the laptop lid or putting the computer to sleep, which suggests that Windows 7 SHOULD be able to work with the Vista Vaio Event Manager drivers.

To send network traffic between your Azure virtual network and your on-premises site, you must create a virtual network gateway for your virtual network. A VPN gateway is a type of virtual network gateway that sends encrypted traffic across a public connection. You can also use VPN gateways to send traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network.
There are two types of virtual network gateways: 'ExpressRoute' and 'Vpn'. When you create a virtual network gateway, you specify the gateway type that you want to create. A VPN gateway is a virtual network gateway that uses the gateway type 'Vpn'.
Each virtual network can have two virtual network gateways, but only one of each type. Depending on the settings that you choose, you can create multiple connections to a single VPN gateway. An example of this is a Multi-Site connection configuration. When you create multiple connections to the same VPN gateway, all VPN tunnels, including Point-to-Site VPNs, share the bandwidth that is available for the gateway.
Configuring a VPN Gateway
A VPN gateway connection relies on multiple resources that are configured with specific settings. Most of the resources can be configured separately, although they must be configured in a certain order in some cases.
The settings that you chose for each resource are critical to creating a successful connection. For information about individual resources and settings for VPN Gateway, see About VPN Gateway settings. You'll find information to help you understand gateway types, VPN types, connection types, gateway subnets, local network gateways, and various other resource settings that you may want to consider.
Deployment tools
You can start out creating and configuring resources using one configuration tool, such as the Azure portal. You can then later decide to switch to another tool, such as PowerShell, to configure additional resources, or modify existing resources when applicable. Currently, you can't configure every resource and resource setting in the Azure portal. The instructions in the articles for each connection topology specify when a specific configuration tool is needed.
Deployment model
When you configure a VPN gateway, the steps you take depend on the deployment model that you used to create your virtual network. For example, if you created your VNet using the classic deployment model, you use the guidelines and instructions for the classic deployment model to create and configure your VPN gateway settings. For more information about deployment models, see Understanding Resource Manager and classic deployment models.
Connection topology diagrams
It's important to know that there are different configurations available for VPN gateway connections. You need to determine which configuration best fits your needs. In the sections below, you can view information and topology diagrams about the following VPN gateway connections: The following sections contain tables which list:
- Available deployment model
- Available configuration tools
- Links that take you directly to an article, if available
Use the diagrams and descriptions to help select the connection topology to match your requirements. The diagrams show the main baseline topologies, but it's possible to build more complex configurations using the diagrams as a guideline.
Site-to-Site and Multi-Site (IPsec/IKE VPN tunnel)
A Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN gateway connection is a connection over IPsec/IKE (IKEv1 or IKEv2) VPN tunnel. This type of connection requires a VPN device located on-premises that has a public IP address assigned to it and is not located behind a NAT. S2S connections can be used for cross-premises and hybrid configurations.
This type of connection is a variation of the Site-to-Site connection. You create more than one VPN connection from your virtual network gateway, typically connecting to multiple on-premises sites. When working with multiple connections, you must use a RouteBased VPN type (known as a dynamic gateway when working with classic VNets). Because each virtual network can only have one VPN gateway, all connections through the gateway share the available bandwidth. This is often called a "multi-site" connection.

|Resource Manager
|Not Supported
|Not Supported
(*) denotes that the classic portal can only support creating one S2S VPN connection.
(**) denotes that this method contains steps that require PowerShell.
(+) denotes that this article is written for multi-site connections.
Point-to-Site (VPN over SSTP)
A Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN gateway connection allows you to create a secure connection to your virtual network from an individual client computer. P2S is a VPN connection over SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol). P2S connections do not require a VPN device or a public-facing IP address to work. You establish the VPN connection by starting it from the client computer. This solution is useful when you want to connect to your VNet from a remote location, such as from home or a conference, or when you only have a few clients that need to connect to a VNet. P2S connections can be used with S2S connections through the same VPN gateway, as long as all the configuration requirements for both connections are compatible.

|Deployment Model/Method
|Azure Portal
|Classic Portal
|Resource Manager

VNet-to-VNet connections (IPsec/IKE VPN tunnel)
Connecting a virtual network to another virtual network (VNet-to-VNet) is similar to connecting a VNet to an on-premises site location. Both connectivity types use a VPN gateway to provide a secure tunnel using IPsec/IKE. You can even combine VNet-to-VNet communication with multi-site connection configurations. This lets you establish network topologies that combine cross-premises connectivity with inter-virtual network connectivity.
The VNets you connect can be:
- in the same or different regions
- in the same or different subscriptions
- in the same or different deployment models
Connections between deployment models
Azure currently has two deployment models: classic and Resource Manager. If you have been using Azure for some time, you probably have Azure VMs and instance roles running in a classic VNet. Your newer VMs and role instances may be running in a VNet created in Resource Manager. You can create a connection between the VNets to allow the resources in one VNet to communicate directly with resources in another.
VNet peering
You may be able to use VNet peering to create your connection, as long as your virtual network meets certain requirements. VNet peering does not use a virtual network gateway. For more information, see VNet peering.

(*) denotes that this deployment method also requires PowerShell.
ExpressRoute (dedicated private connection)
Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a dedicated private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider. With ExpressRoute, you can establish connections to Microsoft cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure, Office 365, and CRM Online. Connectivity can be from an any-to-any (IP VPN) network, a point-to-point Ethernet network, or a virtual cross-connection through a connectivity provider at a co-location facility.
ExpressRoute connections do not go over the public Internet. This allows ExpressRoute connections to offer more reliability, faster speeds, lower latencies, and higher security than typical connections over the Internet.
An ExpressRoute connection does not use a VPN gateway, although it does use a virtual network gateway as part of its required configuration. In an ExpressRoute connection, the virtual network gateway is configured with the gateway type 'ExpressRoute', rather than 'Vpn'. For more information about ExpressRoute, see the ExpressRoute technical overview.
Site-to-Site and ExpressRoute coexisting connections
ExpressRoute is a direct, dedicated connection from your WAN (not over the public Internet) to Microsoft Services, including Azure. Site-to-Site VPN traffic travels encrypted over the public Internet. Being able to configure Site-to-Site VPN and ExpressRoute connections for the same virtual network has several advantages.
You can configure a Site-to-Site VPN as a secure failover path for ExpressRoute, or use Site-to-Site VPNs to connect to sites that are not part of your network, but that are connected through ExpressRoute. Notice that this configuration requires two virtual network gateways for the same virtual network, one using the gateway type 'Vpn', and the other using the gateway type 'ExpressRoute'.

You pay for two things: the hourly compute costs for the virtual network gateway, and the egress data transfer from the virtual network gateway. Pricing information can be found on the Pricing page.
Virtual network gateway compute costs
Each virtual network gateway has an hourly compute cost. The price is based on the gateway SKU that you specify when you create a virtual network gateway. The cost is for the gateway itself and is in addition to the data transfer that flows through the gateway.
Data transfer costs
Data transfer costs are calculated based on egress traffic from the source virtual network gateway.
- If you are sending traffic to your on-premises VPN device, it will be charged with the Internet egress data transfer rate.
- If you are sending traffic between virtual networks in different regions, the pricing is based the region.
- If you are sending traffic only between virtual networks that are in the same region, there are no data costs. Traffic between VNets in the same region is free.
Gateway SKUs
When you create a virtual network gateway, you need to specify the gateway SKU that you want to use. When you select a higher gateway SKU, more CPUs and network bandwidth are allocated to the gateway, and as a result, the gateway can support higher network throughput to the virtual network.
VPN Gateway can use the following SKUs:
- Basic
- Standard
- HighPerformance
VPN Gateway does not use the UltraPerformance gateway SKU. For information about the UltraPerformance SKU, see the ExpressRoute documentation.
When selecting a SKU, consider the following:
- If you want to use a PolicyBased VPN type, you must use the Basic SKU. PolicyBased VPNs (previously called Static Routing) are not supported on any other SKU.
- BGP is not supported on the Basic SKU.
- ExpressRoute-VPN Gateway coexist configurations are not supported on the Basic SKU.
- Active-active S2S VPN Gateway connections can be configured on the HighPerformance SKU only.
For more information about gateway SKUs for VPN Gateway, see Gateway SKUs.
Estimated aggregate throughput by SKU
The following table shows the gateway types and the estimated aggregate throughput by gateway SKU. This table applies to both the Resource Manager and classic deployment models. Pricing differs between gateway SKUs. For more information, see VPN Gateway Pricing.
Note that the UltraPerformance gateway SKU is not represented in this table. For information about the UltraPerformance SKU, see the ExpressRoute documentation.
|VPN Gateway throughput (1)
|VPN Gateway max IPsec tunnels (2)
|ExpressRoute Gateway throughput
|VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute coexist
|Basic SKU (3)(5)(6)
|100 Mbps
|500 Mbps (6)
|Standard SKU (4)(5)
|100 Mbps
|1000 Mbps
|High Performance SKU (4)
|200 Mbps
|2000 Mbps
- (1) The VPN throughput is a rough estimate based on the measurements between VNets in the same Azure region. It is not a guaranteed throughput for cross-premises connections across the Internet. It is the maximum possible throughput measurement.
- (2) The number of tunnels refer to RouteBased VPNs. A PolicyBased VPN can only support one Site-to-Site VPN tunnel.
- (3) BGP is not supported for the Basic SKU.
- (4) PolicyBased VPNs are not supported for this SKU. They are supported for the Basic SKU only.
- (5) Active-active S2S VPN Gateway connections are not supported for this SKU. Active-active is supported on the HighPerformance SKU only.
- (6) Basic SKU is deprecated for use with Expressroute.

Tiny Core Linux
Several projects exist that purport to be small, run-in-memory distributions. The most popular probably is Puppy Linux. Puppy has spawned several variations, and I have used it several times myself on older machines. But, I have discovered one that bowled me over completely—Tiny Core Linux. This distribution is a totally different beast and fills what I think is as of yet an unfilled category.
To start, Tiny Core is tiny—really tiny. The full desktop version weighs in at approximately 10MB—this is for a full graphical desktop. Not many other options can deliver something like this. People of a certain age may remember projects like Tom's root/boot, or muLinux. Tiny Core fits somewhere in between those older floppy-based projects and "heavier" small distributions like Puppy.
