Why Retailers Should Join Pinterest
I first discovered the joys of Pinterest when I saw a picture of a pair of beautiful jeweled sandals that a friend of mine had "pinned" to one of her boards and then streamed to Facebook. It was shiny, it was a shoe and it was calling my name so I clicked on it. I soon felt the elation that 20 million daily users feel when I discovered I now had the ability to go straight to the source of the picture (and the adjourning online order form). With 20 million daily users, it isn't hard to fathom that more referral traffic is sent to online retailers from Pinterest than any other social media site.
What makes Pinterest different from other social media sites in this regard? It's the simplicity of the process. Once you sign up for Pinterest, go to your Goodies page and literally drag the "Pin It" button to your bookmarks bar. After that, anytime you see something that is visually interesting to you, click the "Pin it" button and pin it to the board of your choice. Not only does it automatically pull the picture off the website, it also pulls the link. Since most of the people that follow me on Pinterest have similar interests, they will probably be as intrigued as I was and pin it to their own boards. And that is how the cycle begins.
So what does all this mean for businesses? The word that is being used a lot in reference to retail sale generation is "discoverability." For instance, if I go to a search engine to find shiny sandals, I have to wade through pages and pages of listings for shoe sites, many of which I have never heard of and have no reference to guide me on their dependability or quality. If I search on Pinterest, I immediately see any pictures of shiny sandals my friends have pinned, which instinctively lends that retailer a sense of trustworthiness in my eyes. I can also search beyond my friend to all Pinterest boards that have shiny sandals tagged on them to discover other pictures of shiny sandals that my friend may have not yet discovered. For those of us with a serious addiction to shiny objects, it's a beautiful thing (pun intended). Small business listing their products on Pinterest have just as much of a chance as a much larger organization of being discovered by a Pinner.
Case in point, these are the shoes I found in Pinterest and rushed to buy. They are sold by a company called fibi & clo , a small online boutique store that stemmed from an in-home shoe party company. Would I have ever found them outside of Pinterest? Probably not. Am I now a loyal fan of their products? So much so that I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to their products.
Stay tuned for a breakdown of how retailers can best maximize Pinterest to drive customers to sales and to build brand loyalty.

I just bought my first one last week and I'm probably going to stock up on these since they're so cheap. It fits perfectly and doesn't restrict for movement when you're lifting, but at the same time, doesn't expose too much of your back. I'm 6' 3.5" and about 190 lbs. and the medium fits fine. I've been buying BCG stuff for years and can't see why anyone would pay triple the price to have an Adidas logo on the exact same tank.
perfect fit, low price why pay $35 for NIKE or UA
I bought to exercise in and to lift weights in,great flexibility.
Purchased a few of these Nike Pro Fit garments and they have been nothing short of what I expected they fit very comfortable.
I really do like the shirt. It's comfortable and fits nicely. It goes nicely with jeans or dressed up with khakis. The only issue I have with the shirt is that it is listed as navy in color when it is actually more gray. I only wish it was a truer navy.
I bought this about a month ago and finally wore it. I love the way it looks and feels. The camo, peeking out, is a great bonus. Thanks!
Outstanding lightweight comfortable shirt for the office and the range.
they fit great, are a little heavier then the other golf shirt they sell, but still a great shirt.
I bought my son 4 t-shirts from Academy Sports & he is well pleased with them, great fit & good quality!!! My son wishes there were more duck hunting t-shirts to choose from. We are very satisfied customers!!!!
shirt was exactly describe online. Very good quality and great price.
I originally bought it at local location. However the back vent flap had a tear on it. I returned the shirt at the Newnan location. They didn't have my size so the employee helped me return the shirt and ordered one and had it shipped to my house within two days. I'm very pleased.
I bought 4 shirts over 2 months and love them , I have been telling everyone about them and were to get them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love these t-shirts. Nice quality. Minimal shrinkage.
Bought for my adult son who does not iron! The wrinkle resistant fabric is great and it fits TTS for this brand. It is not oversized like Columbia.
I wasn't sure if I would like this fabric, but I love it!
These are the best shirts I have bought for fishing. My family has an issue with skin cancer and these shirts give me the protection that I need. Plus because of the ventilation these shirts provide plenty of comfort and look good.
My Navy Veteran loves this shirt. He stays cool and it washes well.
Bought a Drake button-up shirt for my husband for Christmas and he loved it! Arrived within a week after ordering.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my son. I think he will love it.
Love the design and quality of this shirt! Of all the southern brands available today, Southern Heritage is the one to look for ! My girlfriends couldn't stop asking where I got it!!!
Bought this, fits true to size. I tried it on in store before buying. Very satisfied with it, and have already worn it to the pool. Relaxing fit and cool logo
Great shirt , keeps me warm out on the water comfortable and fits great. Great shirt for the price.
Shirt fit good and was comfortable. Great gift for my husband.
Great shirt at a great price! Very impressed for name brand at low cost.
Nice shirt, I bought it for my stepdad as a Christmas gift and he loved it.
Bought the shirt about a month ago. First thing I noticed was how soft it was. Way softer than my other t-shirts and has a great design I wear it often.
This shirt is everything I was looking for: very light weight breathable fabric, loose fitting, no vent flap on back and few pockets. I'm a 5'3" women who wears size 12/large shirts. A medium in this shirt fits loose enough in the waist to drape without showing every bulge yet fitted enough in the shoulders and hips to not look like an ill fitted sack. The sleeves and tails are long which is to be expected for a men's shirt. I plan on wearing it while kayaking or working in the yard. The green ... is a nice medium bright shade while the other three colors are deep heather tones of red, gray, and blue. Shame they don't have the crisp color like the green. Also a shame the shirts don't come in lighter colors especially white for the summer.

Here's a real hottie from Bi Latin Men. His name is Natural, he's from Mexico and he 21 years old. At 5'6" he may not be very tall, but he's sporting a huge 8 1/2 in uncut cock that's a full 6 inches around. As you can see, Natural is an upbeat guy with a happy attitude, and he's also definitely not camera-shy. In fact, he had a hard-on before the cameras even got rolling - I guess he's a bit of an exhibitionist, because his dick stayed rigid for the entire shoot. And Natural had no problem letting the camera man stroke that big piece of manmeat, but he did like showing off its massive size. Man, wouldn't you like the chance to suck on that!

The Goal Of These Pages
Last week the editorial page received hundreds of letters and e-mails suggesting that The Post's opinion pages had crossed a line, not once but twice. The criticism echoed, in a very faint way, a controversy raging through Europe and the Muslim world. Three distinct stories -- but together they offer a chance to say something about how we view the role and responsibility of opinion pages.
The European affair began Sept. 30, when a Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, published cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad. Muslims view any picture of Islam's founder as blasphemous, and these were particularly insulting; one showed him with a bomb in his headdress.
Muslim protests simmered through the fall, gaining strength in recent weeks with boycotts of Danish products and demands that Denmark's prime minister apologize. To show solidarity with the Danish paper, newspapers in many European countries last week reprinted the cartoons. Protests in several Muslim countries in turn gained strength, in some cases with violence threatened against Europeans and their embassies.
What to make of this? Muslims (and anyone else) are well within their rights to protest the publication of the cartoons if they are offended. They show a basic misunderstanding, though, when they demand apologies from leaders of Denmark or other European countries. In many Muslim-majority countries (Egypt and Syria, for example), officials do control most of the press and so are accountable for the ugly anti-Semitism that often appears in their newspapers. In Denmark, as here, the government cannot tell newspapers what to print or what not to print. We are free to be offensive.
But that leads to an important distinction: The freedom to offend brings
with it a responsibility not to offend gratuitously.
That is the line that we at The Post were said to have crossed last week. The first alleged transgression was a cartoon by Tom Toles last Sunday. It took off on a comment by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who had denied that the Army was stretched thin and described it instead as "battle-hardened." The cartoon showed a quadruple amputee in a hospital bed, with "Dr. Rumsfeld" saying, "I'm listing your condition as 'battle hardened.' " The chart on the bed identified the patient as "U.S. Army."
On Thursday we published a letter describing the cartoon as "reprehensible," "beyond tasteless" and "a callous depiction" of wounded soldiers. The letter was signed by all six members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, something that doesn't happen often and that certainly got our attention.
Toles is on the staff of The Post and participates in our editorial board meetings, but he operates independently; I don't tell him what to draw. On the other hand, I
am responsible for what appears on the editorial and op-ed pages; with Toles, as with independent columnists, it's my job to make sure the gratuitously offensive doesn't appear.
So why this cartoon? I respect the views of the chiefs, and of others who echoed their criticism, and I understand their reaction. But I don't agree with their reading of the cartoon. (Nor, by the way, did many other readers, who wrote to support Toles or take issue with the chiefs.) I think it's an indictment of Rumsfeld, who is portrayed as callous and inaccurate in his depiction of the Army and its soldiers. Whether that's fair to the defense secretary is a separate question. I don't believe Toles meant the cartoon to demean the soldiers themselves, and I don't think it did.
A separate torrent of e-mails objected to our publication Tuesday of an op-ed, "What Hamas is Seeking," by Mousa Abu Marzook, deputy political bureau chief of Hamas. Readers said we should not give space to a terrorist organization, especially for a piece of "propaganda" that obscured Hamas's longstanding commitment to the destruction of Israel.

Toddler Slips Through Balcony Rail, Falls to Death at Virginia Beach Hotel
A tragic accident in Virginia Beach last week has called new attention to deck and balcony railing safety issues, reported the News Leader on June 21 (" Death puts focus on railing gap," by Megan Williams). According to the report, two-year-old Lea Shiloh Moats was playing on the balcony in the care of a grandparent when she slipped between the balusters of the railing and fell five stories to her death. Recent versions of the Virginia building code, based on the International Building Code, allow no greater than a four-inch gap between railing balusters. "But the Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort and Hotel, where Lea and her family were staying, was built in the 1960s, and the code in effect at that time applied. It allowed 6-inch gaps," the paper reports. According to news reports, many older hotel and motel accommodations in Virginia Beach, and elsewhere, have balconies built under older code versions that allowed railing spacing wider than four inches — often, spacing too wide to ensure the safety of small children. And the latest Virginia Beach tragedy, while unusual, is by no means unique. In 2008, for example, a child fell two stories in a similar accident in Redding, California, but fortunately survived the fall, according to the Redding Record Searchlight (" Apartment railing where toddler fell will be updated," by Ryan Sabalow). Unsafe decks on residences, of course, are frequently noted by professional home inspectors involved in real estate transactions. Railing spacing is only one of the unsafe conditions that inspectors find, but it's one of the more vexing problems for inspectors — because in most cases, as in the Virginia Beach hotel, the code allowed the detail at the time of construction. In a forum thread at the nachi.org website (" Wide gaps in outside deck railing"), an inspector asked, "I find a lot of wide gaps in outside deck railing (4 to 5 inches and above), (older homes). Is this something homeowners have to change, or something I have to mention as a safety issue? Either way, the realtor and home seller don't like it much." Respondents on the forum held different opinions. "If it's an older structure," said one, "I would not make it an issue. I do not feel that it is the home inspector's place to require corrections that meet, or met, code requirements at the time the structure was built." Another, however, recommended this language: "The guardrail balusters do not conform to current standards. The pickets should be spaced no more than four inches apart for child safety, and you may wish to have them brought into compliance." At another home inspector forum, inspectionnews.net, a poster asked for information on current deck construction code rules. The deck he was inspecting, he said, had no vertical balusters at all beneath the railing. His request for information (" Deck railing requirements") kicked off a long, legalistic discussion about not just the home occupant and the home inspector's duties, but also the rights, powers, and obligations of the condo association at the property. One respondent, "construction litigation consultant" Jerry Peck, advised sending a strongly worded letter to the condo association demanding an immediate repair and threatening legal action. But what about the duties of a remodeler or deck contractor who works on an existing deck, where the railing spacing may not meet current code? Different situations may bring up different, puzzling choices. According to building code, you're only required to upgrade parts of the building that you actually work on or modify, said one professional deck contractor; but to cover their own rears, contractors may want to recommend, or at least suggest, going beyond the legal minimum. "Here's an example," he said: "We worked on a deck this year where the stair railings were rotted, but the railings on the main deck were in good shape. So we replaced the stair rail, and we changed the baluster spacing to meet modern code — spaced no further than four inches apart. I told the homeowner that the balusters on the main deck were a little farther apart than four inches, and didn't meet the current code; but he said to leave them alone, so we did. But if he had wanted me to install the new balusters on the new railing at the old spacing, I would have refused." In another case, the contractor was working on a short set of "wedding cake" deck stairs that went down in three directions from the deck, and had no banister. The customer didn't want a banister, even though the code called for at least one graspable handrail. "This was a permitted job, and I told him that the stairs would flunk a building department inspection, but he said that was okay," says the contractor. "So we built them without the railing — it was only three steps — and sure enough, they flunked. But he didn't care. But then later, he had an insurance adjuster at his house because of some roof damage, and he ended up getting a letter from the insurance agency pointing out 'Hey, by the way, there's no banister on your deck stairs, and that's a safety hazard and a code violation.' The implication was that if anyone got injured, his insurance policy wouldn't cover him. So he called us back to put in a banister, and we did."

Last Thursday I ended my Presidential bid and announced my intent to continue to serve the sovereign citizens of the 11th District in Congress.
My decision to seek the Presidential nomination was based on my belief our nation was in need of leadership based on Principled Conservatism, one which would unite, rather than divide our party and our nation in a time of great challenge. The time has come for the Tea Party and the Republican Party to come together to serve and save this great nation. During this time, I am proud of the fact our campaign was focused on the same issues you, my fellow citizens of the 11th District are focused on.
And so, I am committed to continuing my service for you, fighting to bring common sense to Washington. At the top of my list is to create economic opportunity for all, fulfill our promises to the greatest generation, and in doing both, creating the largest reduction of government spending in world history.
This is no small feat, but to accomplish these goals, I need your help, as President Obama and his most liberal friends are lining up millions to defeat me.
At midnight tonight, the third quarter fundraising reports are due and we can send a strong message to Washington.
I know money may be tight right now, but what we must achieve for our children and grandchildren is too important to ignore. Your donation of $10, $25, $100 or more will make a difference, and I appreciate whatever you can chip in.
Now, let's get back to the largest reduction of government spending in world history.
Earlier this month I introduced legislation (H.R. 2889) designed to save the Social Security retirement and disability trust funds from insolvency, which the Social Security Board of Trustees forecasts may otherwise occur as early as 2029.
The Trustees' 2011 Annual Report projects insolvency is likely to occur in 2036 given the most reliable current assumptions. The McCotter plan salvages both the Old Age and the Disability trust funds from that projected insolvency without reducing benefits, raising taxes, or increasing the age of retirement eligibility.
My legislation achieves this through the creation of personal savings accounts eligible for reasonably flexible investment in the free market, offered to all workers aged 50 and younger. Participation is voluntary, and a minimum return on investment is guaranteed.
Because the personal investment accounts replace as much as 50% of each participating worker's retirement benefit, the trust funds experience significant relief as soon as the first participants commence retirement. Benefits for current retirees will be unaffected, as will future benefits for workers above the age of 50, and those who choose not to participate.
Funding for the personal savings accounts will come not from new taxes (which the legislation specifically forbids), but from efficiencies realized by block granting specific federal programs to the states, and from savings realized from the elimination of other federal programs to be identified in companion legislation.
The Chief Actuary of Social Security has confirmed that the legislation, if implemented, would eliminate all future deficits while satisfying all current obligations. According to former Reagan administration appointee Peter J. Ferrara (author of four books on Social Security reform), if the McCotter plan were enacted it would generate "the single largest spending and debt reductions of government in world history." The legislation enjoys the support of Americans for Tax Reform, Americans for Prosperity, and 60Plus.
Thank you for your generous contribution!
Thaddeus McCotter

Jon here.
I'm trying to kill some time while I'm waiting for the clock to expire in Online Traffic School, so I figured I'd write something. It looks like all of you will share some punishment for my poor driving decisions.
I've been pondering the idea of limitations the past few days, partly because of the launch of the Vita and partially because of Spielberg's latest abortion of cinema: The Adventures of Tin Tin. I'll address the later first.
Many people have described Tin Tin as Spielberg showing off his technical prowess in the medium of cinematography and in action sequences in particular. While the sequence with the pirate ship was spectacular, I could not help but feel that his once meticulous attention to character development and growth has all but disappeared recently. Since not many of the theme of his movies has changed, I can only attribute the collapse of the narratives on his access to technology. He's so eager to show off what he can do in movies, he has forgotten why so many people love his movies. I'll provide an example: what movie has better special effects: Tin Tin or E.T.? And which was the better movie.
Working within technological limitations forces visual storytellers to craft an engaging narrative because they cannot captivate people with neon colors and shiny lights. We forget they special effects are just upgraded smoke and mirrors and are ultimately insubstantial. Ok, maybe we don't forget, but a lot of filmmakers do. What's really interesting is complex characters with interesting journeys where much is at stake. Here's another example: what was the better movie - Terminator 2 or Terminator 3?
The gaming industry, even though many of us like to make the comparison, is very different from the movie industry. Even in the infancy of film, it became a medium so entwined with storytelling that it is difficult to untangle the two. Games on the other hand were born with stories as a side note. Technology pushed the medium forward, but the narrative in games have never become the focal point to the extent they have in films. Technologically advanced, or modern, games could have very minimal stories and still be considered good games.
The comparison of films to games exists mostly because both are visual mediums. However, the direct interaction with a game is the most important distinction between the two. That's a discussion for another time.
Displaying a home console game on a TV perpetuates the oversimplification of similarity between films and games. The comparison became stronger in the generation of the PS2/XBox/GameCube/Dreamcast and has grown in the current generation. For the past decade, the only platform that remained immune to such a comparison was the DS. The DS was pure gaming. That's not to say that story was not an important feature in DS games. In fact, many of the best stories every told by games were on the DS (Trace Memory, Professor Layton, Radiant Historia). The interaction of the player with the games was the primary focus.
As handhelds move into the arena of trying to duplicate console experiences on the go (PSP, 3DS, Vita), that pure interaction fades. Sony bragged that the PSP (followed by the Vita) would replicate the console experience in your hands. The Vita goes as far as allowing you to take your console game with you and continue to play away from your TV. The 3DS has a lineup of games that were either ported from a home console (Star Fox, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid 3) or made with creating a console experience in mind (Resident Evil). This is dangerous. If this occurs at the expense of purely-handheld games, then the sacrifice is not worth it.
As technology increases in the handheld market, such a divergence into more console-like experiences may be inevitable. But it does not have to be. Setting limitations of cartridge capacity with the 3DS for example could encourage developers to scale back the scope of a project. Perhaps they would decide to make an expansive sprite-based RPG rather than a short polygonal one.
Technology grows quickly in our industry and hardware manufacturers are usually quick to jump on the latest tech in order to gain a competitive advantage. Developers and publishers pay for higher development costs. We pay for more expensive games. Our industry pays with reliance on high-profile franchises and annual tentpole releases.
I'm not saying that we should go back to the 16-bit days, although new 16-bit games would be awesome. I'm saying that maybe we should pump the breaks a little - have more hardware limitations. Limitations force creative people to be creative. A license to do whatever you want usually results in a jumbled mess of unrealized ideas. Let's decrease development costs and make games more affordable for the developers and customers.
Let's take a step back and think if we really want to pay $60 or $70 for a new console game, or $40 or $50 for a handheld game.
Let's use our imaginations to think about what can be done with a simple idea.

Practice Makes Perfect: An Analysis of Sport for Peace and Development Organizations in Ghana
Hester, Patricia Anne
The purpose of this study is to examine sport for peace and development organizations, Right to Play and PLAY SOCCER, in Ghana. The study seeks to look at their curriculum and its implementation, monitoring and evaluation practices, challenges faced in the field, and impacts seen through their work. The research was performed in Ghana in November and December of 2012 through a grant from Generations for Peace. This research seeks to address a gap in the existing literature on best practices for monitoring and evaluation for sport for development organizations, as well as the gap in research in sport for peace organizations in West Africa. A qualitative study was performed consisting of interviews, focus groups, site observations and a literature review; all of which helped to shape and inform the study. This thesis is the first step in my research on sport for development organizations in West Africa.

Given Name: Aubrey Drake Graham
Alias: Drizzy, Champagne Papi
Age: 27
Occupations: Rapper, Singer, Producer, Actor
Releases: Room For Improvement, mixtape, 2006; Comeback Season, mixtape, 2007; So Far Gone, mixtape, February 2009; So Far Gone (reissue), EP, September 2009; We Are Young Money, collaborative album, December 2009; Thank Me Later, debut album, June 2010; Take Care, album, November 2011; Nothing Was The Same, album, September 2013; Yougn Money: Rise of an Empire, collaborative album, March 2014.
Career Highlights: In 2007, Drake became the first unsigned Canadian rapper to have a video on BET, with "Replacement Girl" featured as the "New Joint of the Day." When So Far Gone was first released online, it was downloaded 2,000 times in two hours, a shocking amount for an unsigned, relatively unknown artist. Later in 2009, Drake signed to Young Money Entertainment. "Over," from Thank Me Later, was nominated for a Grammy in 2010. Take Care went double platinum and won Best Rap Album at the the 2012 Grammys. Nothing Was The Same was nominated for three Grammys and went platinum once.
Sound: Drake's mixed use of singing and rapping was initially a bit shocking, since not many artists in in mid-2000s used that approach. But now that artists such as Chance The Rapper and Schoolboy Q can be heard switching between rapped verses and sung hooks, it's clear how much of an effect he's had on the rap game. Much of his signature sound comes courtesy of 40, who you'll read about on the next page, but suffice it to say that Drake has carved out a very distinct, moody niche for himself that still finds room to incorporate the occasional displays of braggadocio and lyrical ferocity.
Strengths: More so than most artists, Drake has tremendous crossover appeal. His catalog spans slow jams, battle rap posse cuts, quotable, radio-friendly singles, and introspective emo rap, with his flexible voice paving the way for his phenomenal songwriting. He also seems to be very self-aware despite his titanic success, penning songs that wisely address his fame while still not being afraid to let loose and get ignorant every now and then. Able to rap with Jeezy, sing with Alicia Keys, and host SNL, Drake has redefined the boundaries of a rap star in the 2010s.

We've heard almost right through the summer that Crustal Palace manager Alan Pardew wanted to sing his former captain of Newcastle – Fabricio Coloccini – but today Crystal Palace and Alan have said they are not interested in signing th Argentine International.
So that would seem to put any rumors about Colo leaving Newcastle at and end, and he will not only stay at Newcastle for the final year of his contract, but he will be captain for the coming season too.
With this being his final year of eight years on Tyneside, he will also be motivated to do very well especially after the second half of last season which was simply a nightmare for Newcastle fans.
Fabricio Coloccini – in action last season
This is what Crustal Palace have put out today on their web-site and it comes from Alan Pardew:
"Contrary to the rumors and reports circulating in the media, we want to confirm we have no interest in Fabricio Coloccini."
"And although he remains my ex-captain and a great player, he will not be coming to Crystal Palace."
And then last night during Steve McClaren's call-in on BBC Radio Newcastle he had this to say about the captain:
"Coloccini is the most experienced player, and my dealings with him have been tremendous."
"We've had long, long talks. "He wants to stay here so I am delighted," "Do I need to change the captain? Why do I need to unsettle everything – he carries on."
Not the question is whether Fabricio can get fit for the opening game of the season at home to Southampton on Sunday.
Colo's has never played one minute in pre-season so maybe the best he can do is the be on the bench for the game which may see Chancel Mbemba also get a run-out on Sunday.
Maybe our best center-back pairing if we don't bring in another center-back is Coloccini – Mbemba and with Colo in form that would be a big improvement on what we had available last season.
And we should also see both Gini Wijnaldum and Aleksandar Mitrovic make their Premier league debuts on Sunday.
Comments welcome.

INDEPENDENTS REPORT: Good neighbor
The most effective marketing message is local, and new in-store technology is making that efficient, too.
Most food industry professionals would agree that some of our most innovative marketing ideas come to mind when we're not at work. Some awaken us in the middle of the night, prompting us to scramble for a pen and pad of paper before we forget, while others often surface during an early-morning shower or a sprint on the treadmill.
For Illinois entrepreneur Mark Ruttenberg, that moment of insight came five years ago while he was standing in line at a local ATM machine. Watching a variety of electronic messages appear on the ATM's screen, Ruttenberg thought suddenly about the impact local advertising could have on neighboring businesses and local civic organizations -- and he immediately began to conceptualize what would become a lucrative business opportunity that's now bringing supermarkets closer to their customers.
What he developed was Normal, Ill.-based Monarch Visual Solutions, Inc., a privately held company that produces a turnkey marketing program allowing participating retailers, including IGA, Piggly Wiggly, Jubilee, and numerous others, to increase not only customer counts and bottom-line revenue, but also consumer loyalty and community presence. Experiencing tremendous growth during the past three years, Ruttenberg's company is currently operating in 24 states, with plans to enter 10 more by this coming June. His product, in essence, is a vehicle for customized local marketing.
"The traditional media of advertising has been television, radio, and newspaper," explains Ruttenberg. "For many merchants these forms of advertising haven't been cost-effective, since they cover larger geographic areas, and potential customers would not be expected to drive in from these long distances."
He adds: "Does it make sense for a video store to advertise five to 10 miles away when there are two other video stores in those neighborhoods? Probably not."
Ruttenberg's alternative to traditional media, which he calls Monarch3, makes available to retailers a highly effective revenue-generating program of point-of-sale community awareness and advertising. Working in conjunction with local noncompeting merchants, the company installs at supermarket checkout lanes its patent-pending three-sided point-of-sale kiosks, at no cost to the storeowners. Each unit houses one 17-inch NEC Mitsubishi flat-panel lead crystal display, as well as featuring two billboard or "static" panels. The unit displays ads from the store itself, along with other ads funded by nearby businesses and secured by Monarch.
Simple to manage, the program compensates each participating supermarket on a monthly basis, by total number of units installed. Supermarkets can boost program income by scheduling other businesses, mainly vendors or suppliers, to promote their goods and services on the static (nonelectronic) panels of the kiosks. Monarch simplifies the entire advertising process by providing predesigned templates from which the guest advertisers may choose.
Priceless connections
During the recent IGA Global Summit in Las Vegas, I caught up with Monarch's v.p. of marketing, Steve Yerbic, who was attending the invitation-only event as a member of IGA's coveted Red Oval Family. We discussed how differentiation, and especially technology, are driving today's independent sector. Yerbic, whose career in sales and marketing spans nearly 30 years, acknowledged my concern about some forms of technology that are doing little more for independents than providing frustration.
I asked Yerbic to detail specifically how his most successful clients are employing the program to achieve maximum benefit. "In a nutshell, the Monarch program allows retailers to look their best through image enhancements, customer retention, and branding their store by name," he said. "Featured on the kiosk panels is information that truly interests the customers, such as photos and biographies of employees of the month; local news and headlines, including Amber Alerts; upcoming charitable events in the community; new product introductions that provide customers with the impression that their store is constantly improving variety; private label and exclusive store-brand promotions; health, wellness, and household tips; personalized thank-you messages to customers; and more.
"We've partnered with USA Today to provide, via DSL, updated news every three hours, along with five-day weather forecasts," added Yerbic.
The opportunity to cement relationships through very specific, very local information services is palpable. "Just imagine how thankful that customer was whose missing pet was recovered because someone in the local community viewed a lost-pet alert on one of our Monarch3 kiosks. Consumer connections like this are truly priceless."

First gene-altered primate beats the odds
Oregon researchers' triumph in slipping a bit of another creature's genome into a monkey has proved that the feat's possible, but even the bioengineers themselves caution that their technique may not be the best one for future monkey business.
The Oregon Regional Primate Research Center in Beaverton ignited a news frenzy last week with a 3-month-old rhesus monkey's debut as the world's first genetically engineered primate.
Named ANDi, a backward homage to 'inserted DNA,' the little fellow looks and behaves like his plain-gene playmates. Yet tissue analysis confirms that ANDi carries a jellyfish gene laboriously inserted by scientists, Anthony W.S. Chan, Gerald Schatten, and their colleagues report in the Jan. 14 Science.

The 27-point margin was the worst bowl loss ever for the Big Orange. The previous low-water mark was a 25-0 spanking by Southern Cal in the 1945 Rose Bowl.
The tone for the evening was set on the game's opening scrimmage play, when UT missed a block that resulted in a nine-yard sack of Casey Clausen. It was the first of six times the Vol QB would be sacked on the evening.
After a three-and-out by UT, Maryland marched 67 yards in 13 plays, aided by back-to-back penalties on Vol defenders for roughing the passer and personal foul. These moved the ball from the UT 23-yard line to the 5. Four plays later, Terp QB Scott McBrien's one-yard naked bootleg made it 7-0.
A 10-yard holding penalty on third-and-one short-circuited UT's next possession, then Clausen overthrew a screen pass that was intercepted by Maryland defensive back Curome Cox and returned 54 yards for a TD that widened the gap to 14-0 early in the second quarter.
Tennessee closed to 14-3 on a 38-yard Alex Walls field goal but Maryland responded with a field goal of its own to go up 17-3. Tennessee moved into scoring position late in the half but Walls misfired from 41 yards just before the break.
Incredibly, Maryland had just 107 yards of total offense at the break, yet led 17-3.
The Terrapins got another field goal midway through the third quarter, then added the clinching touchdown early in the fourth. McBrien did the honors, scoring on a six-yard option keeper to pad the lead to 27-3 with 12:55 remaining.
Most Vol fans were in their cars headed for home by the time Maryland's Steve Suter returned a punt 79 yards, setting up Nick Novak's third field goal of the game.
Essentially, Maryland won by controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
"It's been a long time since we've been physically whipped," Clausen conceded.
The only time UT threatened to make a game of it came when safety Mark Jones recovered a third-quarter Maryland fumble and returned it 18 yards to the Terp 41. But Derrick Tinsley eventually fumbled at the 7 and Maryland recovered. The Terps then drove for a field goal. Thus, Tinsley's fumble resulted in a 10-point swing. Instead of trailing 17-10, UT trailed 20-3.
McBrien completed 11 of 19 passes for a mere 120 yards but he added 36 rushing yards and scored two of Maryland's touchdowns.
Clausen finished 23 of 37 passing for 242 yards but had several catchable balls dropped. He also got little help from the ground game, which managed just 45 net yards on 27 rushes.
The only bright spot for UT was the play of receiver C.J. Fayton. After catching just six passes in 12 regular-season games, Fayton caught five passes for 68 yards.
UT's 8-5 finish is the program's worst since the 1988 Vols went 5-6.

I always love the "not part of official teaching". So it's unofficial teaching? And WHAT is that?
Not a great article, methinks. I like Limbo..I think it makes more sense than half the stuff others are coming up with to replace it. Natural happiness without supernatural happiness.
But it was always theological opinion. No ecumenical council proclaimed it, no pope made it a matter of dogma. You cannot be tried for heresy by disbelieving in limbo.
And on Augustine, he said that he thought unbaptized babies would suffer a punishment in Hell so light that it couldn't even be called punishment at all. So yes, he was severe, but not as severe as people make him out to be.
Also, I'd like to point out that Limbo was *exactly* what the pagans always believed about the afterlife for the good. Physical comfort--not bliss exactly, but peace and happiness nonetheless without physical pain. The heaven of Christianity is a different animal--supernatural bliss such that no pagan had ever conceived.
Shame we confuse those concepts today. If youse don't mind, I'll wait and see what comes out from Rome, but I would be VERY surprised if, given the long history of this idea, it was outright condemned.
What's the relationship between Limbo and Purgatory? If they're different, is Purgatory an "official" teaching of the Roman Catholic church?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Original Pictures Forum' started by New Heights, Jun 10, 2007.
Here are some pics of planting I am working on with a friend of mine. What do you guys think?
Here are some more pics.
I think the trees along the drive are way too close together and too close to the drive. I take it they are a type of Pear (Aristocrat, Chanticlear, Cleavland) They will have to be torn out in 6-7 years.
You are correct, but you should do little research on your trees. They are planted 20 feet apart and at maturity they have a 15 ft radius, so they will never touch. Thanks for the input though.
WHAT! are you serious. Trees are 20 ft apart. With a 15 ft radius that means they will be 30 from one side to the other. So that leaves you with 10 ft of growth touching. I think you should brush up on your math skills. Big difference between radius and diameter. Now toss in the circumference of the tree and your over the driveway and growing into the trees on either side.
On that note looks good.
Yup those trees mean trouble in a couple of years.
Firstly, I doubt the trees on this side of the drive are 20' apart and even if they are, they are only 4-5' off the asphalt, so they WILL be a major problem in a few years. Secondly, I have plenty of tree knowledge and you are correct, they get to a 15' RADIUS. You planted them too close! or you need to take a 5th grade math course.
I stand corrected, it is a 15' diameter and thet are 10 ft off the drive. Thanks for pointing that out.
Cleveland selects get about 15-20' across (Diameter) if the trees are 20 feet on center then a full grown tree will just about be touching the next one down the line. And if the trees are indeed 10' off the drive then a full grown tree will just be overhanging the drive. A good choice when lateral space is limited. Overall I think it was the right plant.

Even thought it might not be a spoof 1 post wonders are funny. Planting looks pretty good.

Third place is no more than we deserve, says keeper Doherty
Derry City will secure third place for the first time in five seasons if they defeat Sligo Rovers at the Brandywell this evening.
Kenny Shiels' men are five points ahead of Shamrock Rovers in fourth place and require just two points from their final two games against Sligo and St. Patrick's Athletic to achieve their goal.
The Candystripes qualified for next season's Europa League by beating Bohemians last week and now need just one more victory to complete a remarkable season.
"I want to get third place and I want to highlight that to the supporters because we need to win and we're putting all of our eggs into that basket," he said.
"We'll be going as strong as we possibly can and let's hope that we can achieve what we want to. The boys have done really well.
"We just want to get this one over the line if we can but it's going to be a really tough game.
City goalkeeper Gerard Doherty believes it would be an injustice if the team did not finish third.
Doherty, the only League of Ireland player to be named in the PFAI Team of the season outside Dundalk and Cork City, believes the Brandywell side deserve huge credit for their efforts this year.
"We all know how bad last year was," he said. "Kenny has come in and changed everything around and we've reaped the benefits of that.
"Personally, I think we definitely deserve to be up there and we definitely deserve to finish third, but we still have to beat Sligo which won't be easy because they are on a decent run of form at the minute. But the fact we have still something to fight for at this stage of the season is good for the mentality, because the season isn't just going to peter out."
Harry Monaghan and Niclas Vemmelund will miss this evening's game through suspension. It will be the first league game the Danish defender has missed this season, bringing an end to a run of 31 consecutive league starts.

Kathleen Raine Remembers Sandaig - Poem by Sally Evans
I lost Gavin Maxwell's otter.
It walked out one day,
a passing scoundrel clubbed it down,
dead in a ditch it lay.
Gavin wanted travel and fear,
he wanted sex with men
in Tangier and in Agadir
where the pains of death are ten.
Our great affair was fate, not love.
His lover I'd never be,
and to prove it I refused him
when, to prove it, he once asked me.
Now I am dead and Gavin too,
we shall not meet in heaven
(this death-pain was unknown to him,
I know there are eleven) .
His books sold tens of thousands,
my poetry books sold tens.
Now on the beach at Sandaig
let other lives make sense.
Now on the beach at Sandaig
let other otters run,
and on Northumberland's bleak moor
our double past be dumb.
Drey 2011

FltPlan Adds Velocity Weather by Baron Services
FltPlan's new weather data can be accessed on all devices including desktops, laptops, tablets and phones as well as the FltPlan Go apps
"Previously, we used weather provided by the National Weather Service that we processed ourselves," said Ken Wilson, founder and president of FltPlan." Now, we are upgrading to a much better system that provides more sophisticated weather graphics.What's important is that we are not just adding a weather map.General aviation pilots using FltPlan can now integrate advanced weather data with their flight plan route on high/low IFR charts and VFR sectionals.That's really key."
Wilson pointed out that pilots now have the ability to graphically display both real-time and predictive weather information together with their flight plan, which allows improved decision-making and enhanced flexibility and control.
Bob Baron, president and CEO of Baron Services, stated, "We are very excited to partner with FltPlan.As a pilot, I know first-hand the benefits of having accurate, real-time weather to help me plan my routes and know what to expect along the way.We are bringing these components to FltPlan users."
FltPlan supports pilots with services ranging from flight plan filing, FBO/airport information, flight tracking, certified eAPIS submissions, SMS (ACSF and IS-BAO), runway analysis, weight and balance, eLogbook, Mexican/Caribbean/

It has come to my attention, while swimming through our lucious image galleries, that several people have been uploading pictures of real dead people, whether they were hanging from a tree in a Japanese forest of mass suicides or laying in the street of a recent massacre. These are actual human beings I'm talking about; not models or actors. Just persons who've had the misfortune of having their final moments of life thrown around the Internet for people to exploit.
I know this site is a powerhouse of the spooky and all, but can we stop with the real-life corpses and bodies? The thought of someone passing around these pictures seems immoral and disrespectful for the dead. We should crack down on this images and protect the rights of those who can't protect themselves.

By Ken Kusmer, Associated Press Writer
INDIANAPOLIS A divided Indiana Supreme Court on Friday rejected a effort by Republicans to shutter satellite early voting sites in three largely Democratic cities near Chicago, but an appeals court later agreed to expedite the case and set oral arguments for five days before the general election.
The state's highest court, voting 3-2, declined to grant a GOP request to rush its appeal of a special judge's ruling this week that the voting centers in the Lake County cities of Gary, Hammond and East Chicago should remain open and that closing them could jeopardize residents' right to vote.
But that left the matter with the Indiana Court of Appeals, which set oral arguments for Oct. 30. Regardless of how the court rules, the case likely will be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
Attorney James Wieser, who earlier saw the high court's decision as a victory for his clients including Democrats, the Indiana NAACP and several unions, was surprised by the Court of Appeals action.
"It came as quite a surprise on the heels of the Supreme Court order, but we're still very confident of our position," he said Friday night.
Lake County GOP Chairman John Curley, the main plaintiff, declined to comment Friday night.
Republican attorneys had wanted the high court to take the case directly, with both sides submitting arguments next week. Instead the matter was left with an appellate court where a more deliberate briefing schedule almost certainly means the ruling will remain in place through Election Day.
Republicans argue the voting centers increase the risk of voter fraud and that state law only allows one such voting center -- at the clerk's main office in the county seat of Crown Point -- unless both parties agree to additional locations.
The case has taken on racial overtones, with some Democrats questioning whether Republicans were trying to suppress votes by minorities likely to favor Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Indiana has not chosen a Democrat for president since 1964, but recent polls have shown Obama about even with or leading Republican John McCain.
Democrats applauded the Supreme Court decision.
"The courts have been very clear in ruling on the side of the voters," state Democratic Party spokeswoman Lauren Smith said. "It's all about having an open, honest and fair election. Let's get this election back on track and focused on the voters."
Special Judge Diane Kavadias Schneider acknowledged in her ruling Wednesday that Lake County, next to Chicago, "has had a history of public corruption and voter fraud," but that safeguards in place to fight fraud included a state law requiring voters to present photo identification and access to registration checks through a state voter database.
She said many residents of the three cities would be unable to travel to Crown Point to cast early ballots and would not have time to vote on Nov. 4.

Allan Border has two words for Test cricketers: look lively.
The former captain thinks modern Test matches are dragging because of drawn-out drinks breaks, DRS (Decision Review System) stoppages and general dawdling.
Even with an extra half-hour added to the day, cricketers were struggling to get through 90 overs of play, he said.
"The whole situation needs to be sped up to make sure that there's no down time," Border told ABC radio.
"Now, from one side of the fence watching the game, you just get those down periods.
"We need to keep the game moving."
Cricket Australia chairman Wally Edwards recently suggested slow over rates were one of the issues the International Cricket Council was better placed to tackle.
Things had decelerated so much, Border quipped, that the hardest job now belonged to the 12th man running drinks out to the field.
"You must do a half-marathon most days," Border said.
"With every break in play, every appeal that gets referred, they run onto the ground.
"Everyone's sitting around watching television to see what's happened with the replay.
"The players should be ready to continue cricket straight away."
However, the 59-year-old player-turned-spectator did say Test matches were still worth watching, even though he hoped the bloated format was whipped into shape soon.

Alpha, also known as the Avatar of Power, is the presumed leader of the the Avatars and, along with the Avatar of Force, the first Avatar to appear. He was the most powerful, visionary, and important member of all the Avatars, essentially making him at least their unofficial leader. He desired to create Utopia.
Persuading ColeEdit
At first, Alpha and the Avatar of Force persuaded Cole to join them as an Avatar due to his massive amount of demonic powers. After becoming an Avatar, Cole instead attempted to create a reality where Phoebe loved him, despite Alpha's warnings. When Cole was vanquished, reality was restored and Alpha disappeared.
Tormenting Leo WyattEdit
Two years later, the Avatars returned in the from of creature heads while tormenting Leo in an attempt to prepare and persuade him in joining their collective. Alpha appeared with Beta and Gamma and later revealed themselves in their true form. Leo ultimately joined the Avatars after Piper and Phoebe were killed by a Celerity Demon, granting him the power to resurrect them.
Creating UtopiaEdit
Alpha revealed their true intentions to Leo. The Avatars needed to persuade the Charmed Ones into combining their powers with the power of their collective in hopes of creating Utopia, a world existing beyond Good and Evil, where demons no longer existed.
Ending UtopiaEdit
Although Alpha and the other Avatars were successful into establishing Utopia, thanks to the Charmed Ones, Alpha's measures to keep Utopia going disturbed the sisters and his getting rid of Leo for creating conflict after Zankou showed him the truth about the Avatars, Alpha and the Collective caused Leo to vanish.
Leo then appeared to Phoebe who told her to remember all the pain that they encountered and tell her sisters they need to reverse Utopia. After combining forces with the demon Zankou, the Charmed Ones demanded Utopia be abolished and that Alpha and the other Avatars return the world to normal. After this was done, Alpha was never seen again.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
The power of the Avatars lies in their collective. As such, Alpha possesses a virtually unlimited number of magical powers. For this reason, only his most prominent powers are listed.
Active Powers
- Fading: An energy based form of teleportation.
- Reality Warping: The ability to warp the fabric of reality and alter it to one's desire. The Avatars possess this power as a collective.
- Chronokinesis: The ability to manipulate and control time in all directions.
- Energy Waves: The ability to fire highly destructive waves of energy, capable of vanquishing multiple targets at once.
- Teleportation Manipulation: The ability to manipulate or stop the teleportation of others.
- Illusion Casting: The ability to create illusions and make the intended target see what they desire.
- Power Granting: The ability to bestow powers upon other beings.
- Power Negation: The ability to cancel out the powers of others. The Avatars could also nullify the power of Crossed, Double-Crossed; disabling it from sucking anymore people in.
- Sensing: The ability to locate and find people or objects.
Other Powers
- Immortality: Living for an infinitely long lifespan and having an arrested aging process.
- Immunity: The ability to be completely immune to the powers or magic of other beings.
Personality and TraitsEdit
Wise, patient, and tolerant, Alpha likes to bide his time while convincing those he approaches to join his collective. He even acknowledges when the time for Utopia is not yet ready, and is not above retracting.
Alpha appeared in a total of 10 episodes over the course of the series.
- Season 5
- Sam, I Am
- Centennial Charmed

Survey: U.S. Average Gasoline Price Going Up
Street price expected to stay well below last year's all-time high.
NEW YORK -- The average U.S. price for a gallon of gasoline jumped nearly a quarter in the last three weeks, as crude oil prices rose, according to a Reuters report.
The Lundberg Survey of 5,000 gas stations revealed the average national price for self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline was $2.3010 a gallon on May 15, up from $2.0549 a gallon on April 24. Prices rose more than 8 cents a week on average.
Still, that price is far below the high of more than $4.11 a gallon set on July 11, 2008.
"Absent some supply threat, the retail price cannot catch up to last year," survey editor Trilby Lundberg said in an interview with Reuters.
The onset of warmer spring and summer weather means that gasoline often contains more ethanol and different formulations for environmental safety, which can drive up the price, she noted. Ethanol prices also have been rising. Prices also increase as the industry anticipates greater summer demand as people take driving vacations.
The recession might keep prices low, however, as rising unemployment dampens demand for gasoline because fewer people are commuting to work, Lundberg noted. Unemployment already is holding down prices, she told the news organization.
According to the latest survey results, the lowest price per gallon was in Phoenix at $1.99. Chicago had the highest average street price at $2.63 per gallon.

Usually, each contestant asked for a merchandise prize, such as a washer and dryer. After all four stories were told, the audience determined the winner by applause (determined via the "applause meter"). The winner won her prizes, plus was bedecked in a sable-trimmed red velvet robe and jeweled crown. Interspersed between the contestants' stories was fashion commentary.

The focus of this striking necklace is a stylized arrowhead carved from red jasper. The jasper arrowhead is a rich rust color with natural striations of a lighter color. For the basis of the necklace I chose red flake jasper beads with lighter inclusions of quartz because they echo the coloration of the arrowhead. I also included sections of magnesite heishis in a similar color separated with small octagonal gold-plate spacer beads. A hook clasp completes the design.
The carved arrowhead measures 7/8 inch by 1 5/8 inches, and the necklace measures 20 ¼ inches in length, but this length can be adjusted if you wish. I designed this necklace so it can easily be worn by a man or a woman as it is a versatile style. Jasper has been used in jewelry from ancient times, and jasper jewelry has been found in archeological sites throughout the world. Red jasper has traditionally been a warrior's stone, representing justice, loyalty, and inner strength. It is also considered a stone of strength and vitality and is used to increase creative energy and stimulate positive action. These powerful qualities augment the distinctive design of this necklace.

Ever since last week when I was informed that local Animal Control was planning to shoot the stray dogs that I'd been feeding, I hadn't seen any of the dogs. Despite the fact that others had been informed that no such shootings were planned, I didn't believe the dogs were safe... and as I hadn't seen them, I figured they'd been done away with. Then this afternoon mom and I drove by, and the chocolate female was out there, all by herself.
Mom and I stopped to try and catch her, but seeing a strange white truck resembling the Animal Control truck pull over, she cut and run. Later, after my mom had left for Florida (to spend New Year's Eve with F), I drove by in my car (which the dog had been accustomed to seeing). She was there, and she obviously recognized me, and began slinking timidly across the ground toward me, wagging her tail, but looking like she might cut and run any moment. I had Brin (one of mom's pits) in the car with me, so I unhooked his leash and nipped out of the car, quickly shutting the door behind me so he wouldn't follow me. And of course in doing so I locked my keys in the car with Brin.
But I didn't worry about that. I squatted down and called to the dog, and she slunk over to me on her belly, shaking. She began wagging furiously when I started petting her. However, as soon as I looped the leash around her neck she freaked out. She obviously had never had a leash on before, and it took me several minutes to calm her down; even when she stopped trying to break free, she lay curled at my feet, shaking.
By the time I called a locksmith and waited for him to come and free my keys from the inside of my car, the dog had stopped shaking, and was wagging again - and I had named her Nadya. Amazingly, Brin allowed her in the car with him, and they even got along, although she was very intimidated. She was terrified of getting out of the car when I got to mom's house. I decided to put her in with Wolfie (not in with Viktor and Kali, since Kali doesn't like girl dogs). It wasn't until I took off the leash in the pen with Wolfie that Nadya realized she wasn't going somewhere bad. As soon as she realized that she'd been brought into a yard with other dogs - and with dogfood - her personality totally morphed into a happy dog. She began racing around, leaping in the air, playing.... so amazing to see the transformation!
Anybody want to give this girl a home?
