|Topic Review (Newest First)
The one thing I will add to Twinsdad's comment:
Oak Bluffs has limited docking space.
We stayed in Vineyard Haven on a mooring last summer. Marthas Vineyard has a bus service that works very well and is priced very reasonably. We bought a day pass and went all over the island one day.
Vineyard Haven and Oaks Bluff are fairly close to each other, so you could stay in VH and visit OB very easily. The buses can be caught right near the ferry docks.
here is the website:
Martha's Vineyard Transit Authority
Some of my favorite kids' spots
I have to agree with some of the others that you don't need to go all the way to Boston to have a terrific cruise. Among the many fine choices pointed out by others (and maybe a couple of add-ons), I think some of the following locations would be kid friendly.
Branford, Essex (but you have to deal with a lot of traffic on the CT river), Mystic (aquarium and maritime museum). In fact you might make a reservation to stay at the maritime museum - would be a lot of fun for the kids. Port Jefferson, Dering Harbor and Cochles Harbor on Shelter Island, Sag Harbor (try to reserve a mooring, slips are expensive). Sag is a really neat town, you can see if the whaling museum is open. Eat at the back of Concha D'oro - good peasant italian food at reasonable price or you can buy food at the IGA and Barbeque at marine Park right off the water.
Three Mile Harbor has very good anchoring for swimming. A couple of restaurants along the shore, otherwise not much else there - though very scenic. They do fireworks for Bastille Day (July 14) if that works for you.
I am a big fan of Montauk. There are a number of choices of how to stay there. Check out guides and pick your poison. Duryea's is a little known treat for having shellfish (Lobster, steamers, clams, etc) on a deck with picnic tables facing a beautiful sunset. A little distance from where you will keep your boat, but worth arranging.
Stonington is another nice choice which would be a very short sail from Mystic (maybe trade a very short sail for a longer sail another day????). Take a walk to the point and go up on the lighthouse.
Newport is a great location, but where to dock the boat is the problem. Newport Yachting Center would be one choice. Avoid Christies like the plague, unless you want wall to wall bar crowd for your kids! You can rent bikes, go to the kite section of (I believe it is Brenton Reef park), take a tour of one of the mansions (the Breakers is the most common choice for first mansion tour). Lots of choices to eat, check guides for what you want. I was there pre-kids and loved Scales, but may not be in your budget and I'm not sure how kid-friendly.
Agree with SailingDog about Cuttyhunk. Great for kids. There is swimming in the channel that you enter in. Nice walks to the top of the hill for great sunset viewing. Really nice small fishing town -- very New Englandy!
Tourists or not, I think Oak Bluffs is very kid-friendly. Beaches available, rollerblades and bikes to rent, check out the candyland style houses (I forget the correct nomenclature). Any guide book will describe it for you. There is also a carousel there. Plenty of places to eat, and among the better equipped for things like showers, etc.
My top three of the above for kids would be Mystic, Newport and Oak Bluffs. Simple reason is lots of things to do with the kids. With 8 year old twins, I know how important that is.
Most of all, have a great time!
|In case you do get as far as the Canal, I recommend Onset harbor, just before the entrance to the Canal on the buzzard's Bay side. A great, sheltered harbor with good anchoring and numerous marinas if that's your pleasure.
I am going to try to work up the Sound in short increments on the CT side
Norwalk to Southport, or Black Rock.
Milford CT
Branford or Thimble islands
New London
Noank, Mystic, Stonington, Fishers Island, or Watch Hill
After that, there is a long stretch to either Block Island or Pt Judith.
And your really going to have to watch the WEATHER trends as 2008 set and all time thunder storm record it was a summer of once in a lifetime events about once a week
Also SD and Ranaweigh....thanks for the heads up on the book, "The Coast of Summer." Just ordered it off of Amazon. Can't wait till it gets here.
From my sailing on the LI sound you would really have to be moving to go from Northport harbor to Oyster Bay in 2 to 3 hours unless the current was perfect and that has to be the shortest trip you could make
Being compleatly serious most of the harbors on the LI side take 1 hour to leave or enter which will use up 2 hours a day before you even start sailing
Trust me on this as MY wife is a 3 hour sailor which pretty much means the boat does NOT leave the Northport area with her onboard
Northport to (Port Jefferson / Rocky Point / Mount Sinai Area) is 16 miles once your outside the harbor which would be again real hard to make happen in under 3 hours
And your really going to have to watch the WEATHER trends as 2008 set and all time thunder storm record it was a summer of once in a lifetime events about once a week
You might want to re-think this voyage, or at least, the itinerary. If you sail only 2~3 hours per day after day one you will be just east of Bridgeport, perhaps Stratford. At the end of day 2 you will be between Madison and Clinton. Day three gets you to Niantic Bay, short of New London. This means you will make Mystic toward the end of your first week.
I too heartily recommend Bailey's book "The Coast of Summer". It will make you want to get under way and let the wind take you where it will. But he and his wife wandered about in three month increments. Every spot the others have mentioned are worth the voyage. But as Marshall Dodge said "You can't get there from here". At least not in the time frame you have laid out AND limited transit times.
Perhaps planning longer days or less optimistic distances may be in order.
|After rereading the original post. I think you should cross off Boston and the cape. You simply can't do all that with just 2-3 hours sailing per day. There are plenty of ways you can fill 4 weeks just in LI and BI sound and the cape Islands. Plenty to do and see Dog's suggestions are very good and you can hit all of them. Mystic, Watch hill, Newport are places you can spend a couple of days each.
Your 26 will be fine for the trip as most of it is in sheltered waters. Your hop to block and to buzzards through the canal will be your challenge but very doable.
I appreciate the need for short hops do to the kids. Forget Faulkner island in Guilford. It a restricted and no landing allowed. Consider stops on the CT river like Essex You then from there you can shoot across the sound to Greenport. (has a carousel for the kids) You can pick up a mooring at Jacks on shelter Island and take the ferry over to greenport. Spend the day swimming at Orient point harbor too. Leave greenport and swing over to sag harbor (bring your wallet). Plenty of anchoring and fairly well protected. Other choice would be three mile harbor. From there you can hit BI and from BI to Buzzards and on to the canal. Save Narragansett for the and Mystic for the trip back
I'll be heading up to Boston myself in July. My son lives there.
|LOL..thanks for filling in the RI gap... I don't know RI waters...so don't comment on them.

Microsoft has developed a version of its Windows Server 2003 Operating
System that will actually compete with itself. You may be asking - "how
is that possible?" Well, Microsoft has recently released its new
version of its Windows Server 2003 Operating system geared towards the
network attached storage (NAS) marketplace called Windows Storage Server
Windows Storage Server 2003 (WSS) is Microsoft's solution to the growing
need for companies to consolidate the number of file and print servers
that are beginning to accumulate in data centers around the world. This
product, if successful, could actually erode Microsoft's share of the
server market. Now I may be jumping the gun here, and I am sure there
are already many of you who are firing up your e-mail to send me a
message about how crazy this sounds - but it is possible - at least
WSS is a network attached storage (NAS) operating system that enables
original equipment manufacturers to build appliances that provide
dedicated file serving capabilities and storage on the network. This
new version of W2K3 is available only through OEM's (i.e. HP, Dell,
etc). The operating system is a headless OS that allows network
administrators to take advantage of the power of W2K3, yet without much
of the overhead of a full-blown server.
Adding a Windows Storage Server 2003 appliance to the network allows
businesses to consolidate multiple file servers into a single more
powerful NAS device, thus reducing the footprint of full-blown server
devices in your data center as well as the associated maintenance, power
costs, labor costs, etc. Additionally, this "headless" appliance is
remotely managed through a Web-based user interface for the minimal
configuration tasks required for setup. Microsoft states that NAS
devices that are being developed with the WSS operating system can be
deployed in under 15 minutes.
You can find out more about Windows Storage Server 2003 at:
Join me next week when we dive into some of the advantages of Windows
Storage Server 2003.

When I was out shopping this week, (after my 5 week break...yay me!) I found this H&M dress for $4.
But, I was seeing some potential
And I decided to wear it before slaughtering it.
Gray thread, a needle and 5 minutes, and this massive dress was a cute top.
So easy, a caveman could do it. I forgot to take pics of the actual process, but all I did was bunch up the sides to the length I wanted, and hand stitch on the inside.
Get a good look at it now, because hopefully by this time next week, it will be in pieces!
Outfit Deets:
Top/Dress - H&M
Liquid Leggings - Walmart
Heels - Steve and Barry's
Necklace - No clue
So, my challenge to you is, get something out of your closet that you don't wear, and play with it. You may have a new fav right in your closet!

going bald from tearing my hair out
I will say right up front that I am pretty much allergic to most things electrical. I'd be mighty greatful if someone can follow my story here and help me.
I bought a 53 Chevy 210 at the NSRA Nationals two years ago. It's a great looking car, ran and drove OK, but was all pretty much stock drivetrain. The body, paint and interior were all done. I installed a fresh 350/350, Chassis Engineering MII, 10 bolt, Ididit column, etc etc. and now I can't drive the car because of a wiring problem of some kind. Here's the symptom:
Engine running, lights on, I noticed what I can only describe as a "blink" in the headlights and dashlights. They go bright for only a moment, then back to normal. Last time it happened, I was just watching it, trying to figure it out, and when it "blinked" it was such a surge in voltage that it actually blew out both headlights. Ok, says I, only thing that can create that much juice is the alternator/regulator, (GM single wire) so I take if off, take it to a rebuild shop here in Denver, and have it redone. Put it back on, no good. Problem persists. A buddy said I needed a ground strap, I added two. One from the block to the frame, one from the body to the frame. No good, problem persists. I also notice that when the engine is running, I see every so often the voltmeter changing from 12.5 to about 10, random, but every few minutes. I break down, and take the car to a local electrical repair shop. $300 later, they tell me that my headlights are out, and if it happens again, to bring it back.
. So, here I am.
Like I said, I am not any good at electrical. The car had been rewired prior to my having it, but the job really looks pretty haphazard. If anyone can help me I'd be really greatful. If you know someone in the Denver area who is good at this stuff, I'd be willing to $$ them to get this right before the season is over. I'd like to drive this car without worrying about it catching -fire or something... call me if you'd like at (303) 681-7770.

Circa Survive Tickets
An American rock music band from Philadelphia, with its phenomenal show is hitting the road and will be touring your city. It is one of the best rock bands with amazing performers, and educators next to some other great bands such as Pearl Jam, Tool, Nirvana, and several others. The band was formed in 2004 consisting of; Anthony Green (vocalist), and members of the de-functional group 'This Day Forward'. Circa Survive has released some great albums so far. 'The Inuit Sessions of 2005' being their debut album contained four songs 'Suspending Disbelief', 'Handshakes at Sunrise', 'Act Appalled', and 'The Great Golden Baby'. Another record, Juturna which was released between 2005 and 2006 received mixed reviews but most of them were positive. However, On Letting Go, the band's second album which they released in May 2007, gained widespread appreciation and sold twenty four thousand copies during the first week of its release. Their third record released in April 2012, 'Blue Sky Noise' was critically acclaimed and obtained great success than the previous two albums. The band is ready to come up with their fourth album titled 'Violent Waves', on August 28, 2012. Circa Survive tickets are selling fast, as the fans are eager to see one of their favorite music groups performing live on stage and that too in their very own city.

They're all bona fide Tinseltown studs, and the men of "Entourage" shared some seriously saucy secrets during their visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday (June 4).
Kicking off the week with some promotional duties, Jeremy Piven, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrera, Kevin Connolly and Read More >>
With a theatrical release date of June 3rd, "Entourage" is just a week away from taking over cinemas across the country.
It was one of the most-beloved series on premium cable and now "Entourage" has just released a brand new preview trailer!
It's been a long wait for "Entourage" fans, but now it's only a matter of months until the highly-anticipated flick hits theaters.
In a new trailer from Warner Bros, Vince, Ari, E, Turtle and Johnny Drama are all back in action, and there are plenty of fresh faces as well.
It's been way too long since HBO's "Entourage" drew a final curtain, and now Warner Bros is gearing up to bring the boys back, this time on the silver screen.
Getting ready for a long-day's work, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrera made their way to the set of "Entourage" in Miami, FL on Friday (January 17).
It's one of the most beloved HBO original series of all time, and "Entourage" is on the heels of getting its very own feature film.
Ari Gold actor Jeremy Piven and writer/director Doug Ellin have recently been building the buzz with a series of Twitter posts, and fans are chomping at the bit.

Trott has returned to one-day international cricket this week with back-to-back half-centuries against New Zealand - the second, his unbeaten 65 in Napier on Wednesday in a winning cause to help England level the three-match series at 1-1 with one to play.
The reliable number three was excused for England's five-match series in India last month, and on Sunday was playing for the first time since December. He batted as if he had never been away - if not even better - and he said: "That's the idea really. You rest, so that you're fresh when you come back in and it's important you perform when you do that."
Trott began with 68 at Seddon Park last weekend - and after he and Joe Root completed England's run chase in his 56th match, he once more averages more than 50 in ODI cricket.
It is a proud record, and one Trott makes it clear is not achieved without much hard work.
"Playing for England is a big responsibility, and brings the pressure of being able to perform when it matters and counts," he added. "I was very happy to be able to do that, and hope I can continue for the rest of the tour."
His next assignment will be Saturday's decider at Auckland's Eden Park, where England will be hoping their bowlers - as well as the top four - can stay in the groove.
James Anderson, rewarded with a five-wicket haul, and Steven Finn were especially impressive with the new ball on Wednesday.
"It's important when you win the toss and decide to bowl first that you set the tone, and our opening bowlers certainly did that - Finny and Jimmy did really well," said Trott. "But also the bowlers backed them up towards the end.
"(Brendon) McCullum played a fantastic innings, but we held together and bowled them out for what was an achievable total."

Ceramica Curved 1700 x 700 Single Ended Acrylic Bath with 6 Jet Whirlpool System
Hot baths are great, but the water holds even more benefits if you get it moving. A whirlpool system works by re-circulating bath water through a number of jets to provide streams of bubbled water. This allows you to lie back, close your eyes and receive your very own personal massage.
There are also some great health benefits to whirlpool baths; improved overall circulation, stress and anxiety relief, pain relief and even dermatological benefits. There are a raft of good reasons to have a whirlpool bath.
Specific areas are targeted by each of the jet streams, which combine to work out your kinks and cover you in a hot blanket of bubbles. The strength of this massage is determined by the amount of air mixed with the water. You can set the level yourself with choices between a gentle massage and a stronger more vigorous workout.
Ceramica baths from Plumbworld provide more than just practical bathing solutions. They bring stylish, innovative and unique bath designs that are built to stand the test of time. This bath is manufactured using cast acrylic sheets for sanitary ware purposes, is reinforced with GRP and has a fully encapsulated wooden baseboard.
The Whirlpool Bath takes no more space in the bathroom than the standard version. All systems fit within the confines of the bath.
The Essentials Acrylic Bath Panel 1700mm is the perfect panel for this whirlpool bath, with its flexibility able to adequately accommodate the whirlpool pipes that sit behind the panel and under the bath. It will finish off the bath look beautifully. This panel is available as an additional item when you add this bath to your basket.

CORRECTED-Hackers target Brazil's World Cup for cyber attacks
(Corrects date of World Cup kickoff to June 12, 9th paragraph, and year of London Olympics to 2012, 31st paragraph)
By Esteban Israel
SAO PAULO Feb 26 (Reuters) - Brazilian hackers are threatening to disrupt the World Cup with attacks ranging from jamming websites to data theft, adding cyber warfare to the list of challenges for a competition already marred by protests, delays and overspending.
In a country with rampant online crime, a challenging telecommunications infrastructure and little experience with cyber attacks, authorities are rushing to protect government websites and those of FIFA, soccer's governing body.
Furious about the 33 billion reais ($14 billion) in federal funds being spent on World Cup preparations, more than a million Brazilians took to the streets last June in a wave of mass demonstrations, calling for better public services, greater transparency, and a crackdown on corruption.
Now, hackers say they will join the fray.
"We are already making plans," said an alleged hacker who goes by the nom de guerre of Eduarda Dioratto. "I don't think there is much they can do to stop us."
Reuters contacted Dioratto and other self-proclaimed members of the international hacker network known as Anonymous by finding them online. Though unable to confirm their true identities, Reuters spoke with them in the interest of understanding their threats and what impact they might have on the World Cup.
They said the event offers an unprecedented global audience and an opportune moment to target sites operated by FIFA, the government, other organizers or corporate sponsors. Continuación...

We hope everyone had a great week of Christmas fun and awesomeness! This was the first time Greg's been off work for the entire week of Christmas since we got married, so we had a chance to take some time off and enjoy spending time with our family. Since we took some time off, we have some catching up to do in the post department (including the recipes from our "Baby, It's Cold Outside" brunch and our monthly installment of His + Her Favorite Things). Be on the look out for a few extra posts in addition to our normal Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule over the next few days. We have a kitchen update to kick off the new year's house-related posts later this week, but today, we thought we'd do a short post a little more on the "life" side of things with a rundown of our "Christmas break".
FAMILY TOGETHERNESS // My mom and brother flew in from LA just in time for Christmas and got to stay for a little over a week. I talked more about our current crazy family living arrangement in this post. It was so, so nice to have them home, even for just a little while. To make things even better, my grandparents came up from Florida. Christmas wouldn't have been the same without them, so, needless to say, we're all so glad they were home for Christmas.
Along with my mom and Abram (my brother), came Packer, Abram's dog. He's been living the good life in LA, too, and we've missed him so much – especially Bentley. Like usual, they played pretty much nonstop – I was lucky to be able to get this quick Instagram photo of the two of them! You can always tell when Packer is in town because Bentley sleeps like a
rock pebble at night. They literally play together all day long. We love it.
FOOD & FUN // While I was in AC Moore a few weeks ago, I was waiting in the checkout line and realized I was standing next to a huge display of gingerbread house kits. I quickly looked away and said to myself, "No, Ash. You don't need a gingerbread house kit." About fifteen seconds later, my inner kid got the best of me and in my cart it went.
I bought some extra red and green gumdrops to go with the kit, and we happened to have some extra chocolate cookie icing (used for the "mulch" on the side of the house and the sidewalk) and candy canes (for the "trim" and the "planked front door") from our brunch. My favorite "feature" is the Golden Graham shingles on the roof. I had way too much fun with this.
MY CRAZY AWESOME HUSBAND // I'm totally going to brag on Greg a bit, okay? So… with the blog, our ever-overflowing email inbox, finishing up graphic design projects, cooking, last minute shopping and so on, my week leading up to Christmas was rather busy and a bit stressful at times. Fast forward to Christmas Eve morning… I woke up to perfection.
He later said, "If I knew you were going to Instagram that, I would have used better handwriting." haha! When I first woke up, I noticed the lights on the tree down the hallway were still on. I thought that was odd because they normally go off around 1 am. The more I woke up, the more things I noticed… like Christmas music coming from the living room and… the best smell ever… cleaning supplies. Little did I know that Greg had stayed up until 4:00am the night before and formulated my perfect, stress-free Christmas Eve. I woke up to a completely clean, spotless house, every piece of laundry washed, folded and put away, all of the dishes that were in the dishwasher the night before, washed and put away, Christmas lights and Christmas music on, presents for his family lined up by the back door for ready to head to their house later that night, the outfit I was planning on wearing that day laid out on the dresser, and the ingredients I needed to make the green bean casserole and corn casserole all laid out in the kitchen and ready to go – with the recipes! Oh, and he even had my toothbrush and tooth paste laying out next to the sink! Seriously, it was the most thoughtful, sweetest Christmas present anyone could have ever given me. Yes, he's definitely up for husband of the year. Best. Christmas. Eve. Ever.
WHAT SANTA BROUGHT // "Santa" brought Bentley a stocking filled with toys and treats. Although, one of the toys in particular didn't last the day…
Yeah, he's lacking a carrot nose and hat. We also got Bentley a "stuffless" raccoon (from Target) that we call Rocky. It's now one of his new favorite toys. Bentley bought Packer a matching bunny and he looooooves it. Even now that he's back in LA, he babies it constantly and carries it with him from room to room. Here's a picture Abram sent me last night…
As if cleaning the entire house and making my Christmas Eve absolutely perfect wasn't enough, Greg also hit a home run in the gift department. He gave me an awesome Tory Burch key pouch (which is perfect for keeping my cards, license and keys all in one place) and the Kate Spade ear buds that I mentioned in this Favorite Things post a while back.
He also filled my stocking with a bunch of my favorite goodies like Essie nail polish, Smashbox lipgloss, Lindt truffles (my favorite), and a gold Marc Jacobs pouch from the Neiman Marcus Target line (which is 50% off right now!). That boy was a really awesome shopper this year! I would have loved to see Greg in Ulta when he bought the lip gloss… priceless.
I gave Greg a Dremel (something that's been on his wish list for a while now!) and a new sound card for his computer. Oh, and I totally shocked him by giving him a Companion Cube for his office. I've never really been into video games (aside from Mario Kart Wii and my very brief stint in World of Warcraft – yes, it's true) and I'm pretty sure he thinks I totally zone him out when he talks about them. So, this gift totally took him by surprise.
I filled his stocking with a bunch of fun geeky stuff including astronaut ice cream, recycled vinyl record guitar picks, and Pac Man candy, cable clips… oh, and a Dr Who Sonic Screwdriver toothbrush (I had to!).
My parents totally floored us by surprising us with the dining room light fixture we've had our eye on for the dining room. I talk through all of our decorating ideas with my mom (she's the best sounding board ever) so she was well aware of our love for this light fixture. We have some other changes we want to make to the dining room and we need to change the placement of the current light before we can hang it, but we're so totally excited to tackle the dining room – finally!
5TH ANNIVERSARY // A few days after Christmas, on the 29th, Greg and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. FIVE years. I think I've said it about a million times in the last 48 hours, but time has flown by. Seriously, I can't get over it. We celebrated with a trip to the "outdoor invisible church" where our ceremony was (officially known as Pole Green Historical Church) then downtown to the James Center (where we had our reception) to take in the lights and dinner.
Since our wedding, they've added lights and, this year, even decorated it for Christmas (which is how it is in the Instagram photo above). A few of you asked on Facebook and Instagram if we could post more wedding photos. The short answer: Maybe. There's a long story in there but here's the condensed version: We hired a photographer that had a very awesome portfolio, and we met with him in his really nice home studio. He seemed like a great fit. Fast forward after our wedding and about a year later, we finally got the proofs only to discover that the photos looked like they were taken by a 10-year-old using a disposable camera. Seriously, the only remotely "good" photo of Greg and me was one taken at the reception… and my eyes were closed. We were, and still are, completely heartsick. Another year later, he finally gave us an envelope of negatives. My plan is to have the negatives transferred into digital photos, but I have yet to go through them. I think I keep on putting it off because deep down, I just don't want to get upset about it all over again. When I do get around to it though (something that is on my grand to-do list for 2013), I'm going to try to edit some myself and see what we come up with. Hopefully at that point, we'll have a few to share here on the blog.
For our anniversary, "Greg bought me" a cool chunky charm bracelet from Anthropologie– AKA I picked it out, bought it and told him it was his anniversary gift to me, haha. It hasn't come in yet, but I'll Instagram a photo when it does. We decided not to do anything "big" for our anniversary this year because we'll actually be flying to LA at the end of the month for two weeks of relaxation, fun and sun. This will be our first non-Disney World vacation since we've been married (is that weird?!). That said, we are going to be at Disneyland for two days, so we'll still get some Disney magic this trip too.
I guess that about wraps up our Christmas vacation recap. We'll be back soon with the recipes from our Christmas party and another installment of His + Her Favorite Things!

Reviewed By Mark W (COLUMBIA, MO) Reviewed for a 2012 Ford F-150 —2/24/2017 1:16 PM
I purchased a set of EBC Green Stuff rear pads to replace the factory pads on my 2012 F-150. Although I have only put 1000 miles on them I have towed a 21' bass boat for 250 miles and I can say that the performance is noticeably improved over the stock pads. I will be buying these to replace the front pads as well, I highly recommend these if you are looking for an improvement over factory installed brake pads.

A timely post, given Dr. Beck's account (link and commentary) yesterday of the Council of Nicaea and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Needless to say, I'm surprised he is being honored by Liberty University.

Beck is obviously capable of error. The "highest paid historian on earth" comment was a dig at academics. That being said, and despite his occasional error and emotionalism, I believe he is doing a respectable job of exposing the true roots and goals of the progressive movement in American politics.

How about a debate between Dr. Dawkins and Dr. Beck. Dawkins warned students to run as fast as they could to get away from an institution with a museum labelling dinosaur bones as 6000 years old!(Liberty)

MR Lessons Learned From Gap's Logo Misfire
Posted by Tamara Barber on October 15, 2010
Last week Gap unveiled a new logo on its Web properties, including its Facebook page. This move immediately unleashed a fury of traffic and comments on Facebook, Twitter, and design blogs, with sentiment ranging from "hideous" to "who cares?" In reaction to the momentum behind the negative comments, it didn't take long for Gap to backpedal, first by trying to hold a competition to crowdsource a new logo. This drew even more ire from the design community, and — as my colleague Doug Williams writes — was exactly the wrong way to go about a crowdsourcing project. So, at the end of the day, Gap scrapped it all and restored its old logo to its Facebook page, its eCommerce site, etc.
This is a fascinating story on so many levels, and overall it demonstrates some serious misjudgment of how the logo and Gap's strategy for rolling it out would be received by the company's followers and the social media world in general. As a market researcher, I'd be interested to understand what research the company did before the launch on October sixth. I have two assumptions here:
- Gap didn't do much customer research to inform its decision, and it wasn't very confident in any research it did carry out. Did the company take the time to build a keen understanding of the particular kind of Gap customer it was targeting with this rebranding?
- The company changed its logo back due to opinion on social media alone, but did it understand to what extent this sentiment was the same among its broader base? An Ipsos poll commissioned by AdAge just three days after the launch revealed that 80% of the respondents didn't even knew that Gap had changed its logo. It's all very reminiscent of Tropicana's rebranding debacle in 2009.
It's a shame to see how uninformed the company's overall strategy appears to have been. This example is a reminder — once again — that obvious changes to a big brand's look, feel, and experience carries risk, especially when social media is involved. It's important to take these risks, but they must be balanced by research that can hold water in the face of potential backlash.
Maybe the team responsible for this effort would have gotten a sense of whether or not it actually needed to change the logo had it explored the idea with a select group of customers in a market research online community (MROC). Or, if confidentiality was not a concern, it could have sampled opinions from Gap's Twitter or Facebook accounts. Maybe, some ideas could have been tested in some of these same forums. Technology, including virtual stores or eye-tracking, now provides us with so much more flexibility in how we can try and predict success on things like this. At the very least, even if Gap had gone ahead with the rebrand, some GOOD research would have provided more context than social media alone when it came to crafting a response and coming up with next steps.
This wasn't a case of Henry Ford asking people what they wanted only to be told to build faster horses. That quote in my mind is in reference to creating a whole new kind of product and giving way a new market. The Gap example is about rebranding an already existing product in an already existing market. And isn't that worth some exploration beforehand?
Excellent blog, Tamara.
Comment from Jeff Vidler (not verified) on Sun, 10/17/2010 - 08:11
Excellent blog, Tamara. Somewhere in the swirling vortex of social media, marketers have lost sight of what good marketing research delivers.
It's a classic squeaky wheel syndrome. Mesmerized by the viral power of social media, many marketers are forgetting that even the most virulent social media firestorm represents only a tiny slice of the general population, possibly an even smaller slice of their target market.
This kind of thinking is also generating a bandwagon effect towards paid advertising on social media. Enthralled by all the clicks and "friends" a paid ad can deliver on a social network, a lot of marketers are forging ahead with social media ad campaigns without doing any research on the impact of the campaign on countless others who don't respond. Is it possible that these other consumers see their ad as a spam-like intrusion into a space that they reserve for family and friends, or as a lame attempt at being hip---with corresponding damage to the brand? Unless you also do survey research, you would never know.
What we do know. thanks to survey research, is that there is a big gap in the trust afforded to "earned" vs. "paid" marketing on social media. In a study Vision Critical conducted in the US, Britain and Canada earlier this year, just over half of daily social network users (51%) find discussions and recommendations by their friends, family and contacts about brands on social networks to be "completely" or "very" trustworthy, while only 16% extend the same degree of trust to paid ads on a social network.
As powerful as social media have become, the transactional data they deliver only let the marketer see the tip of the iceberg. Meanwhile, it's the far greater mass that lies below the surface that can make the difference between success and disastrous failure.

Market Rallies Back, Fed Hawk Hints at QE
The market started the day off down significantly. The Dow Jones was down nearly 180 points earlier in the session. Then, in the second half, markets began to rally sharply into the close and went into positive territory.
Stocks may have been fueled to the upside on comments coming from Federal Reserve governor Narayana Kocherlakota. Kocherlakota is widely considered to be an inflation hawk, having dissented from the Fed's decision to undertake Operation Twist last year.
In a question and answer session following his speech earlier today, Kocherlakota stated that going over the fiscal cliff would argue for additional quantitative easing. The fiscal cliff has become a popular term for the consequences of congress not acting to adjust the tax code before the end of the year. Should that happen, Americans would see a variety of taxes increase.
Alternatively, markets may have been moved higher by speculation on European events.

1996 – The city of Vandalia received 38 applications for the position of community development director.
Stewart and Verble Meador were planning to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.
Lucas Clanton, a rural Mulberry Grove resident and member of the Vandalia chapter of Future Farmers of America was named a Star American Farmer candidate.
25 Years Ago
The report of County School Superintendent C.F. Easterday published in the Nov. 16, 1905, issue of The Vandalia Union was especially enlightening because he went into some detail in his description of the interior of the school.
Perry Rollin Davis was born in Sefton Township, Fayette County, on the same land first settled by his grandfather, Henry L. Davis, a native of Pennsylvania who was here as early as Feb. 15, 1845.
Perry was the seventh child of the Rev. Mark Pinkley and Margaret Almyra Pittman Davis and is remembered as a progressive thinker.
It seems he may have inherited some of this from his grandfather, Henry, who was the first merchant in Sefton Township. He was also a veteran of the Black Hawk War of 1832 in Northern Illinois.
1996 – Jeff and Jennifer Hester of Vandalia were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. The Rev. Reinhold and Mary Dierks were also celebrating their silver anniversary.
Albert and Violet Johnstone of rural Mulberry Grove were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

[USA-PANAMA] History repeats as the USA will face Panama Sunday for the Gold Cup title in Chicago without its head coach. Just like in 2005 when U.S. coach Bruce Arena had to sat in the stands for the USA-Panama final after being tossed in the semifinal against Honduras, Jurgen Klinsmann was handed a one-game touchline ban after being tossed by Costa Rican referee in Wednesday's semifinal against Honduras.
Klinsmann was ejected from the technical area
late in the match against the Catrachos for what Concacaf stated was "showing dissent towards the referee by throwing the ball in a violent manner."
Klinsmann apologized for getting upset
after a series of non-calls by Costa Rica referee Walter Quesada on fouls Honduran players committed on American players. As for his suspension, he said, "It is
what it is."
Klinsmann assistants Martin Vasquez and Andreas Herzog would be co-coaches and share
responsibilities on the sidelines Sunday.
According to FIFA disciplinary rules,
Klinsmann will be allowed to sit in the stands but not allowed in the U.S. locker room.
The FIFA disciplinary rules 18.3 do state:
"An official who has been sent off may give instructions to the person replacing him on the substitutes' bench. He shall, however, ensure that he does not disturb the
spectators or disrupt the flow of play."
In 2005, the late Glenn Myernick served as coach while Arena watched in the stands as the USA beat
Panama in a shootout for the third of its four Gold Cup championships.
The USA is riding a 10-game winning streak -- the longest in its history -- and has scored 19 goals in five Gold Cup
Klinsmann has changed the U.S. lineup every game. The three big decisions he will have to make before heading to the stands:
-- Clarence Goodson or Omar Gonzalez besides Matt Besler in the middle of the backline? Gonzalez, one of four
call-ups for the knockout phase, was called in for the semifinals after being allowed to skip the quarterfinal match against El Salvador but to just about everyone's surprise did not start. Goodson
responded with key passes on two of the three U.S. goals in the 3-1 win over Honduras in the semifinals.
-- Mix Diskerud or Stuart Holden in central midfield with Kyle Beckerman? Diskerud started the quarterfinal and scored the fifth goal; Holden started the semifinal
against Honduras. The likely starter: Diskerud.
-- Joe Corona or Alejandro Bedoya at right midfield? Corona
started -- and scored -- against El Salvador. Bedoya got the nod -- and assisted on both Landon Donovan goals -- against Honduras. Corona, who had started three
of the first four games, has the edge.
The other change from the quarterfinals was to start Eddie Johnson, another of the knockout phase call-ups,
over Chris Wondolowski. Klinsmann will surely stick with Johnson, who has looked very dangerous in his two outings, while Wondo cooled off after opening with
five goals in his first two games.
Gold Cup Champions:
1991: USA 0 Honduras 0
(USA wins in shootout)
1993: Mexico 4 USA 0
1996: Mexico 2 Brazil 0

The Kiss That Missed
Written by: David Melling
Read by: Karan Brar
Published by: Barron's Educational Series
One evening, when the King is in a hurry, his goodnight kiss to the Little Prince goes astray. After rattling around the Prince's bedroom, it flies out the window and floats into the dark forest, where it has no business to be. The King decides to do something about it. He orders the Knight to climb on his horse, ride into the forest, and bring back the kiss. But the forest is filled with spooky things that frighten both the Knight and his horse. How will they ever succeed in bringing the kiss back to the castle?

Forget the adage: "You can't get something for nothing." Today's teens are showing not only can you get nothing for something, but when given the opportunity, they are willing to spend plenty to acquire what is seemingly an Internet version of the Emperor's new clothes.
That is in no way intended as a criticism of the wildly popular Habbo site or its creator Sulake Corp. of Helsinki, Finland. Actually Habbo has set a new standard for online communities, showing that not only is a virtual world a great place for teens to visit and play, it's also an ideal setting for retail to flourish.
The original Habbo.Fi launched in 2000 in Finland. The following year it expanded to the U.K. with
The concept is universal: Visitors create a fully customized Habbo character that becomes their online alter ego for visiting Habbo hangouts, playing online games and connecting with friends. All of this activity is free of charge.
To further express their Habbo selves, they can obtain a Habbo hotel room, also free of charge. However, when they want to furnish that room in line with their individual Habbo personality, there is a wide assortment of virtual products available for purchase.
Although 90% of Habbos use only the free services available at the online community, the 10% who purchase products spend an average of $14 per month. Parent company Sulake has nearly doubled its annual revenues each year since inception and grew revenues from 13.7 million euros in 2004 to 38.5 million euros in 2006.
For the most part, retail management at Habbo is minimal and inventory management is a breeze. Out-of-stocks are a non-existent issue, given that nothing exists beyond the imaginary Habbo world. However, there are unique promotional opportunities to purchase "rares," those limited-edition furniture or room accessories that are available for short periods of time. (Yet another stroke of retailing genius translated to the virtual world.)
The one area where reality surfaces is checkout: Even the emperor had to pay for his new clothes with real money. Habbo provides multiple-payment methods including credit cards, prepaid cards, online banking, direct ISP billing, ClickandBuy accounts, and most recently, Bill2Phone options.
Bill2Phone, introduced earlier this year by San Antonio-based Billing Services Group (BSG) Clearing Solutions, is a real-time payment solution that enables online merchants and e-wallet providers such as ClickandBuy the ability to process electronic payments to the consumer's local telephone bill. Payment through an existing account, such as the telephone bill, expands the demographic reach of online merchants to include consumers who don't have credit cards or who prefer not to use credit cards.
A spokesperson for Sulake told Chain Store Age that Habbo "has seen a small lift in usage" since adding the Bill2Phone option. However, he also noted that Habbos are "very loyal to the payment methods they have used" in the past.
BSG's Bill2Phone payment mechanism includes services such as e-mailed purchase confirmations, e-mailed statements of accounts, recurring-payment options and risk-management controls. The company's "URU" authentication service verifies the identity of a consumer by using the last four digits of the individual's Social Security number.
"The requirement for the last four digits is certainly a deterrent to potential abusers of the system, as well as helpful for parental consent," noted the Habbo spokesperson. "We have payment limits on each payment method and only allow users to bill a certain amount per month."
The primary demographic at Habbo is 13-16 years old and is fairly evenly divided by gender, with 49% male and 51% female. The typical user spends 32 minutes a day on the site, and visits seven days a week. Habbo communities exist in 30 countries on five continents. The majority of traffic is from European countries, representing 52% of visitors, and the Americas, which account for 43%.

Jan van Munster, De Energienaald (The Energy Needle, 1984/1985)
The Energy Needle by Jan van Munster can be seen from far. Day or night, from the city center or the highway: the Energy Needle functions as an orientation point that stands, with its 55 meters, out from the polder landscape. The vertical line confronts the horizontal lines that are typical for the polder. The needle of Cortenstaal and the white light in the top function as a lighthouse for the city of Almere.
The Energy Needle was designed by Jan van Munster in 1986 to be placed on the Leeuwardenplein in Almere Stad. The artwork marked the lowest area of the city. Jan van Munster contributed with his Energy Needle to the highest point. It was decided to move the needle to the Bankierbaan after it started to sway in heavy winds. It received its current position because the city center was being rebuilt.
Mystic connotation of the object
Energy forms a leitmotiv in the art of Jan van Munster – a theme he visualizes in many forms. For example, some of his works make the onlookers able to actually feel cold or heat. Light is also an important material for the artist. "For me, light is not only a visual impression, but more specifically the invisible energy that it's loaded with. This concerns the mystic connotation of the object, that is recognizable by a kind of closeness. A special arrangement of the elements causes the inside to come out. This creates tension, a radiation in space, in which the light explodes.
Like other Dutch artists in the sixties and seventies, for example Marinus Boezem and Ad Dekkers, Jan van Munster started to search for new materials and forms. They had a more conceptual approach and often used abstract forms instead of recognizable, figurative sculptures of bronze.

I want to just put in a comment that the acronym STEAM is beautiful. The Arts are the perfect gateway to technology, math and science, because today as always, Art is enabled and merged with our technology.
How many art classes could also be technology classes? How many technological pursuits could be energized by allowing their natural artistic dimension to be expressed in learning?
No public wish lists :(

Cold air induction
Will the cold air induction enhance your horsepower enough that you can tell the change?How does the cold air induction work?If it works witch type do you recomend?
What kind of car do you have? Whats available depends on your car. It basically works by bringing in colder air which is denser which has more oxygen in it, giving more power. I just put one on my car but haven't had the chance to drive it yet. It claims 8-12 hp which I guess would be noticeable, but cant say for sure till i drive it.
15 hp
Chev claimed when they first put cowel induction on the 69 Camaro that it picked up 15 hp. That is complete with cold air box. The hood without the box will actually create a vacuum around the carb at high speeds causing you to lose HP.
15 Hp equals 15/100ths of a second in the quarter mile. You may feel that on your lawn tractor but your not going to feel it in a car.
You will get the equivilant hp gain by taking the spare tire out of the trunk. She feel more po'erful now?

How much did the 69 camaro weigh?
Do like they did i the mid 60s and take out your high beams, if it is a quad light car, and run a hose from there to the air cleaner....instand ram air. You could also have a scoop under the bumper like the 442s.
I don't think that you will notice any forced air system until you reach a certain speed.
Even with the light replaced there is a chance it won't be true Ram air. You've got to consider the slipstream. Even the "ram" air hood on the SRT-10's isn't true ram air. It's just cold induction. Now the scoop on a 440 six pack was true ram air. That thing was monsterous. I think it started to show related gains at about 80 mph.
Any cold air intake will still benifit you by opening up the intake and flowing more air. A well engineered system will draw the air from a fender or the cowel so it's cold. So they make a great stepping stone mod. Back it up with a higher flowing carb or TB. Next step would be a better flowing intake manifold and exhaust. So by all means do it.
As for gains? It does depend on the engine and how restrictive the stock intake is, but the carb/TB is usually more restricting. When I put mine on I noticed the increased noise more. I could feel it pull a touch better in the upper RPM's, but it really didn't make that big of a difference until I ported out the Throttle body. I've ran it with CAI and stock intake with the ported TB and there is a distinct difference.
when you choose one look for a few things. It needs to pull air from a cold air source. The wheel wells make a good place or even under the headlights. If it's located near the exhaust manifolds, look for a heat shield. It should also have larger tubing that has smooth curves and transitions. The better ones are mandral bent aluminum.
btw what kind of engine is this going on?
Re: 15 hp
I don't know about equivalent, unless the spare weighs 150 pounds.

Ram/cold air induction
When we look at the aero on a full body there is a high pressure area at the base of the windshield..air tends to pile up there at speed..so if you want a cold air source for induction try this..
at the base of the windshield there is a grille for heater air intake.(0n most cars) .tap into that thru the firewall and use some of the flex aluminum dryer duct (the good stuff) and pipe that source of air to your intake..
Presto ram air..and the car looks stock from the outside..Picks up maybe 5-15 HP which maybe can get a few hundreths of a sec..but then a lot of races are won by very little margin..soo every little bit helps..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Go ramairbox.com and you can get their pitch on the advantages and see what they have to offer. Basically more HP and better fuel economy. I have one of their units on my EFI 383 and would not have anything else. I have never seen less than 95F intake air on the hottest of days. Dig into my photo album and you may see a pic .
Yes www.ramairbox.com I bought their kit for my white caprice. It's a nice setup.

Come play a terrific new game! Germany, the U.S. and several other counties have honored this with the "Game of the Year" award, and we have just purchased a copy so you can see why! As a player, you control a group of settlers trying to establish themselves on the remote but rich isle of Catan. The set up at the start reveals the island's many harbors and regions: plains, meadows, mountains, hills and desert. You guide your settlers to success (victory) by clever trading and cunning development, using resource combinations (grain, wool, ore, brick and lumber) to buy development cards and build roads, settlements an cities. You acquire those resources through trades or lucky dice, but beware! Someone might cut off your road access, or buy a monopoly! And you never know when the wily robber might steal away with your precious gains! The game can accommodate 5-6 players, so if you want a spot, come early!
