When Chiang Mai-raised New York City-based chef Hong Thaimee agreed to do a pop-up dinner at Paper Co. Cafe earlier this year, she had no idea how massive the turnout would be. Indeed, so hot were her pop-up dinners that they sold out to the tune of 180-plus people per night. In fact, so many people wanted tickets to her family-style, multi-course pop-up dinners that Paper Co. had to add an extra second seating of 60 to accommodate demand.
This coming week, Thai food lovers will have another chance to taste Thaimee's authentic Thai cooking. The Thai chef, who has worked under famed Michelin-star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and whose restaurant, Ngam, was named Best Thai in NYC by the Village Voice in 2013, is returning to Houston as part of a book tour promoting her new cookbook, TRUE THAI: Real Flavors for Every Table.
"I have a lot of friends and family in Houston, and after the overwhelming response and support I received during my last visit, coming back to Houston was a no-brainer," Thaimee said via phone interview. "Paper Co., especially, has been such a big supporter that I wanted it to be a part of my book launch," she added.
As last time, Thaimee will be doing two pop-up dinners at Paper Co, scheduled for this coming Monday October 19 and Tuesday October 20. Additionally, she is scheduled to make an appearance on Great Day Houston, and will be signing books and overseeing a private hands-on cooking class at Urban Chefs.
"The menu for the pop-up dinners at Paper Co. will be served family style. All of the dishes are in my cookbook and come from my hometown, Chiang Mai," says Thaimee. "Everyone will go home with a lovingly signed copy of my cookbook," she adds, a smile in her voice.

Chumley's Prime Rib
Recipe by Chumleyathome
This is gooood! This recipe is mostly from The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas cookbook, I added the garlic powder, you can eliminate it if you like. This goes good with Chumley's Horseradish Cream for Beef, #364510 and Blue Cheese Butter for Steaks, #364945. The ingredient measurements, you will have to play with, except for the pepper and garlic powder, I usually end up using more of the liquids and the mustard, you will see. The meat should be evenly coated (but not drowned) with the liquids and coated with the mustard (but not encrusted). I also stick toothpicks in the meat to make like coat hooks to hold the onions on. I use about 2 cups of onions, I'm an onion freak. Yes, the onions will be cremated, I'm warning you now, so don't write that up in a review, they still make a good garnish. I made this last Easter and my daughter's boyfriend's dad thought that I was going to throw them away, I told him "no" that this is the best part and he agreed. I use low sodium soy sauce but that is up to you. You can use whatever size roast you want, just adjust the seasonings and cook time,
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
- garlic powder (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Kitchen Bouquet
- 1 tablespoon Coleman's dry mustard
- 8 -9 lbs beef rib roast, bone in
- 1 cup peeled an sliced yellow onion (1/8 inch thick)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Rub the seasonings on the roast in the order listed.
- Place the roast on a rack, fat side up in a roasting pan. Pack the onions on the roast.
- Roast in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and roast 1 hour.
- Reduce the temperature again to 300 degrees and roast about 1 hour more. Cook the roast at this temperature until it is done to your liking. The recipe says 115 degrees for rare in the center with a meat thermometer. I go to about 135, that is a pretty good medium.
- Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to stand for 15 minutes in a warm place.
- Slice and serve immediately.


text: I own a bunch of multis, including a P4 and a Typhoon H. I'm strictly a hobbiest but I've been into RC and rotary winged aircraft for 25 years and a FS IR-rated pilot for 30. All that to say this... I've been watching the steady decline in price of new Inspire 1 v2's and I'm thinking, "Damn. There's some really great deals out there for essentially a pro-level 600 size quad." There seems to be very limited speculation as to what the Inspire 2 (or whatever it ends up being called) will offer. That's really surprising given how close we supposedly are to its imminent release. As far as better multi-operator controls and Lightbridge 2, while they are certainly nice options if you need them; they really bring nothing significant to the table for an operator like me, especially when the 2 will most certainly rise back to, if not above, Inspire 1 initial pricing. I'm ready to buy the ultimate multi under $2k. What I'm asking you guys is the Inspire 1 v2 it? Is this my window of opportunity or should I wait and why? Thanks!

Dilshan tops all rounders' table, Sanga 2nd in batting
Tillakaratne Dilshan has now become the number-one ranked all-rounder in the world following his 229 runs with the bat and three wickets with the ball to date. His form has helped him gain three places in the latest Reliance ICC Player Rankings for All-rounders and he now leads Bangladesh's second-ranked Shakib Al Hasan by 10 ratings points. Angelo Mathews is the third in the list.
Meanwhile Kumar Sangakkara is the leading run-getter to date in cricket's biggest spectacle with 268 runs and this is reflected in the latest Reliance ICC Player Rankings for ODI Batsmen. The left-hander has moved up two places to join South Africa's Hashim Amla in second place.
The batting table is headed by South Africa captain AB de Villiers. He is just two ratings points short of becoming only the 11th batsman to break the 900-point barrier since the introduction of the current ODI player rankings system. (ICC)

tl;dr: I have feelings for my best friend and I don't know whether to tell her or not. I want my best friend in my life, but I'm seeing a new girl and I really want to give her a fair shot.
Long form:
I caught feelings and I was going to ask for some space, but then her mom started getting sick. And friends don't leave friends hanging, so I stuck it out. I decided I'd start dating other people and try again to get over her.
I'm about to get serious with a girl who shows more potential. But thing is I'm not on the same emotional level as the girl I'm dating is because I'm still into my friend. And, her mother's still not better but I need space - both to give this new thing a fair shot and to cool my jets.
I think I made it extra hard because I her get too close, both emotionally and physically. And now all I can think about is all the affection she's given me. Like when several weeks ago we went on a road trip with friends and shared a room/bed there was drunk cuddling, spooning, and interlocking of fingers. And things like how she rested her head on my chest and caressed my hand during a film after a night out drinking. Or, how we'd swim at the beach in our underwear and she'd let me hold her to bring her into the cold water. We were always drunk though and it never seemed right to make a move.
My brain's so addicted now though. It keeps thinking of all the times she's hugged me from behind, or put her head on my shoulder, or brought me flowers! And then she turns right around and tells me that she's not trying to be romantic and that we're just friends.
I can't keep doing this. It's gotten to the point where I can no longer handle my feelings. I've been avoiding her as much as I can avoid a friend, but it's still not enough. And that's not fair to me, my new girl, nor is it fair to my friend.
So do I tell her? And if so how do I tell her? Do I make a move or forget her for a sure thing? Do I try salvage the friendship again or am I best to walk away?
Most Helpful Girl
This is a really shitty situation, sorry you have to be in it OP.
Imho and experience, I'd say: Consider how much you like the new girl and do you respect her enough to give her a fighting chance. If yes, then it might be best to stay away from your best friend. If you stick around her, 50/50 your feelings will not fade and you'll go into the relationship with a part of you reserved and you'll always be wondering "what if it was [best friend]" and stuff like that. Which is not fair to the new girl and not fair to you.
But if you really think something might come out of you confessing to your best friend, then better let the new girl down gently, not string her along while you try to figure it out. That's, again, not fair to you or the girl or your best friend.
Regardless, please be prepared for the very awful case in which you might lose a good friend. Not saying it'll happen for sure, but there's a possibility.
But that's just one opinion.
Source: One of my best friends apparently harboured a huge crush for me bordering on very real feelings and i didn't reciprocate the feelings, but i might have fucked up his budding relationship by keeping in contact acting like a normal friend as per his request. Now our entire friendship is fubar and not too sure how to approach it anymore.
Good luck OP.00|00|0

Annie is a big runner and is very athletic. She just recovered from her broken foot and hasn't gone on a run in a while. Today she was finally able to go on one of her typical run that last about 25 minutes. Annie leaves her house and jogs at a steady pace for about 5 minutes. In that time she is .75 miles out from her house. Next she gets a little tried and slows down a bit but still keeping a steady pace. In this time she gets .25 miles out farther in 5 more minutes. Annie foot starts to hurt a little so she stops for about 2 minutes. She starts up again but now is at her turning point and starts to head home. She starts running and her speed keeps increasing. Annie keeps running like this for the next 8 minutes. For the last 5 minutes she steadies out her run. She stops at her friend's house though about a quarter of a mile out from her house.

Happy Hump Day! I'm sure you are all very busy either traveling or prepping for Thanksgiving - I know I am! We are staying in the city and hosting an intimate feast, so I'll have my hands FULL tomorrow. If the weather is decent, we're going to try to make it over to the Macy's parade, but we'll probably end up watching it on TV (especially since I have a TON of cooking to do).
On to today's look - I wore this outfit for a day in Central Park. The weather was perfect, and we spent all afternoon walking around the park (if you've never been, you have to go - you can't imagine how amazing it is until you've been there). Burberry makes the greatest coats, and this is one of my favorites - I'm in love with the color- in person it is much more of a green than it looks here (sorry!).
Nuts 4 Nuts are the greatest.thing.ever! Especially on a chilly day, the almonds are my favorite.

Environmental report key to future of third runway at Hong Kong airport
Public must accept assessment on airport expansion, which green groups say will harm marine environment
Related topics
The fate of Hong Kong's costliest infrastructure project - a third airport runway - hinges on how well the public accepts the results of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) unveiled yesterday.
Adding another runway would boost the capacity of the airport by about 44 per cent by 2023 to meet expected growth in air traffic. The existing two runways are forecast to reach capacity in 2019, according to the Airport Authority.
But environmentalists worry the project, the city's biggest since the construction of the airport in the mid-1990s, could spell disaster for the area's marine ecology because 672 hectares of seabed will be reclaimed.
They say endangered Chinese white dolphins living in or using the affected habitats off Lantau will be threatened, despite a pledge by the Airport Authority to expand a marine park when work is complete.
The authority's chairman, Vincent Lo Hong-sui, called the results of the two-year EIA study, which is now subject to public consultation, the "most comprehensive" ever conducted in Hong Kong.
"Hong Kong International Airport is strategically important to sustaining the [the city's] development and economy," he said. "This is why we are doing everything practicable to address the likely environmental impacts."
No one from the authority had anything to say yesterday about the final price tag for the project, which was initially estimated at HK$136 billion but is expected to be tens of billions of dollars higher.
Tommy Leung King-yin, general manager for projects, said it was in the process of updating the cost, which would take into account all mitigation measures covered in the environmental impact report.
The airlines and logistics sector have thrown their weight behind the project, which they see as vital to maintaining the city's status as a regional aviation hub. The airport is among the region's busiest in terms of passenger and cargo throughput. The authority estimates the third runway (pictured on the right with a new terminal in an artist's impression) could deliver HK$912 billion in economic benefits over 50 years. But green activists say the social and environmental costs, including carbon emissions, could also be in the hundreds of billions.
As well as the issue of the dolphins, the report addresses the project's impact on air and water quality and noise pollution. It concludes they will be acceptable with mitigation measures. But green groups say the authority made assumptions favourable to the project in the assessment.
Public consultation on the report will be open until July 19, after which the head of the Environmental Protection Department will make a decision on the project, based on views submitted by the public and the Advisory Council on the Environment.
Environmentalists said while they had faith in the assessment system, they feared the advisory council was just a "rubber stamp".
"There are conservationists and academics sitting on this council, but there are also many who are pro-government," said Edwin Lau Che-feng, Friends of the Earth's head of advocacy and an ex-council member.
Projects have rarely been rejected since the EIA Ordinance came into force in 1995.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa proved himself a contender for world title glory this season on a day when Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso resumed their bitter rivalry.
Massa cruised to victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix, taking the chequered flag for the first time since last August's race in Turkey, and the sixth of his career. World champion Kimi Raikkonen captured second as Ferrari recorded a one-two.
Britain's Hamilton endured a nightmare afternoon, finishing 13th and lapped by the Ferraris after making an agonisingly slow start and then running into the back of former team-mate Alonso's Renault. McLaren were also leapfrogged at the top of the constructors' standings by BMW Sauber.
Kubica finished third, after becoming the first BMW Sauber driver to start a grand prix from pole position, with Heidfeld a close fourth. BMW Sauber have now finished on the podium in all of the first three races of the season, a feat unmatched by Ferrari or McLaren. They have 30 points to Ferrari's 29 and McLaren's 28.
Kovalainen was fifth, ahead of Toyota's Italian Jarno Trulli and Australian Mark Webber in a Red Bull. Germany's Nico Rosberg took the final point for Williams. Massa led from the lights, making a faster getaway than Kubica, and took the chequered flag 3.3 seconds ahead of Raikkonen.
Bahrain results 1. Massa (Ferrari) 2. Raikkonen (Ferrari) 3. Kubica (BMW Sauber) 4. Heidfeld (BMW Sauber) 5. Kovalainen (McLaren) 6. Trulli (Toyota)

I was unaware in the window 2003 to 2012 the world had changed, and people no longer needed to invest time, effort, sweat, exe in order to get something. I didn't know the new trend was give everyone everything just for participating. These are the "relic" weapons, they are intended for only the truly hardy players who can commit to it. They are not required, there are alternatives, and no one will think less of you for not having one. I personally will not be getting one, but i am still happy that they were made so you cant obtain over night.
Edited, Jun 7th 2012 11:36am by TwiddleDee
I too agree with some sort of effort or time commitment being involved in a reward for it to actually mean something. However, I'd say that's the extent of our agreement.
That relic weapons need to require any significant time investment is an antiquated notion carried over from XI, just because they share the same name as their counterparts. These are level 50 items, which despite the (moderately) impressive stats, are more roughly equatable to the quested AF weapons from XI in terms of actual game progression than they are to dyna relic weapons. They're a diversion for those with the time and resources to devote to them, and that's all well and good.
But the fact of the matter is that these are still lv50 items, which not even taking into account a potential lvcap increase somewhere in the course of the next year after 2.0, are ultimately doomed to look like templar/harlequin/buccaneer items in retrospect. It doesn't matter if they're job exclusive, it doesn't matter if there's a big to-do made over the acquisition of said items. It's three months after AF armor was introduced and already people are beginning to turn their noses up at players without double or triple melded armor.
And the problem here is more the carrot-on-a-stick attitude SE seems to be defaulting to than whether anyone actually thinks these weapons are worth the effort or not. It's understandable that the dev team are putting the majority of their effort into making 2.0 a success, so naturally they want timesink style activities to occupy the people still playing 15 hours a day. But what exactly is stopping this trend from continuing after 2.0 launches?
If they want to give us a timesink, it should at least be for a meaningful item that will still hold water for years to come in upcoming content. Even without any official declaration of a lvcap increase, it doesn't take any stretch of the imagination to realize what the future of XIV beyond 2.0 will eventually lead up to.

Receive envelopes so your church can hold a collection the same week an emergency appeal launches.
Worship resources
For use in your church or individually
O God, our refuge and strength,
our help in times of trouble.
Have mercy on the lands where the earth has given way.
Have mercy on the lands where the weather has destroyed livelihoods.
Prosper those who rebuild houses,
and strengthen those who rebuild hope
so that entire communities
may face the future without fear.
Advent prayers for Syria and Yemen
God of Advent,
We wait for a message to the world,
and a message has come.
Not a message of hope but of horror.
We wait for you to come soon,
before Herod has his way this time.
Guard, protect and heal
all who are suffering in Syria.
Interrupt, thwart and heal
all who wage war in Yemen.
This Advent we wait:
agitating for another way
for peaceful intervention
for aid to have access
for refugee policy to change
for compassion to light the way
for all to have safe place to call home.
God in your mercy, hear our prayer,
Lord Jesus,
Is it too soon for nativity plays
to include the slaughter of the innocent?
The end of the seasonal story,
often ignored,
screams at us now from silent screens.
And while the tinsel is hung,
and fairy lights blink
Christmas seems hollow tonight.
We pray for those in Syria and Yemen
witnessing an inhumanity
no one should have to see,
enduring suffering
no one should have to bear,
heartbroken by a despair
no one should have to know.
Give them strength beyond themselves.
Hold them in the way only you can.
Comfort them as the Prince of Peace.
And give us ears to hear,
hearts to care,
and the tenacity to light the way.
Lord have mercy,
Prayer in times of food shortages
Loving and almighty God,
We pray for all who are working to combat the growing food crisis:
For international aid agencies and local community organisations.
And in particular we pray for those in positions of power.
May the leaders of the nations act with wisdom and compassion,
bringing relief to those who suffer now,
and moving us towards a world without hunger.
We pray for our sisters and brothers caught up in a cycle of drought and hunger:
for parents struggling to find food and seeing their children go hungry,
for farmers seeing their crops fail and livestock die.
We pray for ourselves:
May we share generously from the abundance that you have given us
and join our voices with those who call for an end to poverty,
that lives may be saved and rebuilt with hope for the future.
May we act in your name Lord and be an instrument of your grace.
A prayer for those affected by floods
Compassionate God, source of all comfort,
We pray for the people whose lives have devastated by rain and flood.
Bring them comfort, we pray.
Protect the vulnerable.
Strengthen the weak.
Keep at bay the spread of disease.
Have mercy on all those working to rescue the stranded and to feed the hungry.
And may our response to their suffering be generous and bring you praise.
For we ask it in Jesus' name,

Definition of beryl
: a mineral consisting of a silicate of beryllium and aluminum of great hardness that occurs in colorless hexagonal prisms when pure and in various colors (such as green, blue, yellow, or pink) when not pure, that is valued as a source of gems, and that is the principal source of beryllium
Did You Know?
Several varieties of the mineral beryl are valued as gemstones: aquamarine (pale blue-green); emerald (deep green); heliodor (golden yellow); and morganite (pink). Beryl consists of a silicate of beryllium and aluminum of great hardness, and is a commercial source of beryllium. Before 1925 beryl was used only as a gemstone, but since then many important uses have been found for beryllium (in nuclear reactors, space vehicles, and X-ray tubes). No large deposits have been found, and most production is a by-product of the mining of feldspar and mica. Brazil is a major producer; others producers include Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, and the USA.
Origin and Etymology of beryl
Middle English, from Middle French beril, from Latin beryllus, from Greek bēryllos, back-formation from bēryllion beryl, of Indo-Aryan origin; akin to Prakrit verulia, veluriya beryl
First Known Use: 13th centurySee Words from the same year

Casey's, Hess and TCA Pins up Pumpkins to Raise Money for St. Jude
Consumers are asked to make a $1 donation to support the children's research hospital.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The 18th annual Halloween Promotion will kick off Oct. 1 to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.
During the month-long Halloween Promotion, Casey's General Stores, Hess and TravelCenters of America -- along with thousands of other convenience stores, restaurants, grocery stores and other retail locations nationwide -- will encourage consumers to make a $1 donation to St. Jude to support its groundbreaking research and lifesaving care.
In return for their contribution, donors write their names on pumpkin-themed pinups, which the establishments display throughout the month of October.
"Each year, thousands of customers show their compassion for the children of St. Jude by participating in the Halloween Promotion," said Richard C. Shadyac Jr., CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising organization of Memphis, Tenn.-based St. Jude. "Even in difficult economic times, the lifesaving work of St. Jude must continue. Each dollar donated helps in our fight to find cures for cancer and other deadly childhood diseases, so that children in communities everywhere will have a second chance at life."

Greg Goode is no exception. In case you missed Part 1, or Part 2, we
are serializing an updated version of his book Nondualism in Western
Philosophy, which is a series of pointers to how the Western approach
can assist with one's self-inquiry. It is less a historical survey, and more
a collection of Western views that might serve as tools for inquiry, along
with suggestions on how these tools might be used. Please enjoy the
final post from Greg. Without further ado, here is Part 3.The Turn Towards LanguageThe older monist-style idealism lost its steam early in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, partly due to the rise of
science and mathematics. The popularity of science stimulated an effort
in philosophy to emulate scientific styles and methods. Importance was
given to observation, verification and language. New philosophical
movements arose, such as "logical positivism," "philosophical analysis"
and "ordinary language philosophy." These movements examine the
relations among sentences, as well as between sentences and states of
affairs in the world.Philosophies that focus on language are not themselves trying to make a
nondual or monistic metaphysical claim. Rather, they merely critique
the claims made by metaphysics about how the world is really is, in and
of itself. They root out the metaphysical assumptions of other
philosophies and argue that these assumptions are simply not needed
to live life or to explain our experience.One can attack a dualism with the weapons on hand, without leaving
anything in its place. This is just what Royce, Wittgenstein, Quine,
Sellars, and Colin Turbayne did – they gave the new focus on language
a startlingly broad application. The result was to soften, blur or eradicate
the old Cartesian and Kantian dualities that had occupied center stage
for three hundred years...To read the rest of the article, please visit:

Dear Dr. Fox:
Our beagle and basset mix has had a persistent itching, scratching and biting problem for the last two years.
We have tried many medications. They all bring temporary relief, but none cures the itching. We have tried many types of food, from grain-free to all-natural to homemade. Again, there is no consistent relief.
We have spent a lot of money at different veterinarians, trying to pinpoint the problem, to no avail. Before the itching, which started in August 2010, our dog had been on the same high-quality food for three years.
We've added no new pets. We changed his beds and have given him baths with prescription shampoo and conditioner/lotion. There is no consistency as far as time of year. We got him as a rescue, so we are unsure of his age, but we believe him to be 8 to 10.
J.P., the District
DF: It seems you and your poor dog have been through the ringer. He might have multiple allergies and a dysfunctional immune system.
More costly tests and trial-and-error treatments might, or might not, put an end to his problem.
Here are a few suggestions: Have his thyroid function evaluated. Try short-term oral antihistamines. Discuss starting an elimination diet with your veterinarian. Give your dog cotton towels or bedsheets to sleep on, and never use scented laundry detergents.
Don't use any anti-flea or anti-tick products. Give him up to a teaspoon of brewer's yeast and fish oil. Give him a spritz of a mixture of aloe vera juice, calendula and witch hazel.
For more suggestions, visit the archives on my Web site, www.drfoxvet.com.
Dear Dr. Fox:
Our 18-year-old cat, Carmen, was just diagnosed with diabetes — again.
Carmen had a scary start in life. She was an injured, lost kitten we rescued. She has always been timid and more fearful of things than the average cat.
She was diagnosed with diabetes when she was about 15. We used Lantus insulin for a year or so, and the diabetes, according to the vet, was cured. Then a few months ago, she started losing weight and urinating outside the litter box. The vet said the diabetes returned.
The vet wanted to bring her in for a daylong glucose curve test, which we did, although we were concerned about the stress on Carmen. The testing cost $200, and the vet said she wanted to do it again in two weeks. We complied, paid $200 and were told to bring her back in another two weeks for yet another test.
When Carmen had diabetes the first time, we would test her at home. If the levels were within normal range, we would continue with her food (Wellness turkey and salmon canned food) and testing program.
When I asked the vet why we couldn't do that this time around, she said that our testing was just a moment in time and that it takes the whole day to get an accurate reading.
Our concern is that these daylong tests at the vet are extremely stressful to Carmen and so the glucose level readings are probably not going to be as accurate as they should be.
Our other concern is that Carmen is close to 100 in people years, and we want this time to be calm and relaxing for her. Needless to say, the $200 a pop, in addition to the cost of the insulin, syringes, etc., is beginning to add up.
F.D., North Beach
DF: Subjecting a cat as old as yours to such stress, especially considering her timid disposition, is borderline malpractice.
Saying that her diabetes was "cured" and taking her off the insulin makes me wonder. I would never subject my cats to such stressful tests, the costs notwithstanding.
They might be scientifically valid, but are they medically relevant and of any real value? For your cat in particular, I think not. Why could you not be instructed to do the blood tests at home?
Diabetes mellitus might not be your cat's only problem. Her weight loss might be associated with thyroid disease, and she might have some loss of kidney function.
Considering her age, quality of life is paramount. Check www.feline-nutrition.org for alternative diets, including raw foods that have cured many cats of diabetes, and seek a second opinion with a feline specialist.

Please email Dr. Kozinn at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are an established patient with a question, and he will email or call you back if you leave your cell phone number within a few days.
Dr. Kozinn will be increasing his teaching and administrative responsibilities, and will therefore be seeing much less patients overall.

The perils and pitfalls of globalisation
Agencies jumped on the globalisation bandwagon unaware of the disruption it could cause them, writes Michael Farmer
The globalisation bandwagon has been a busy place for the past few decades, ever since Theodore Levitt of Harvard Business School popularised the issue in a famous 1983 article in The Harvard Business Review. "The world's needs and desires have been irrevocably homogenised," he wrote. "The global competigtor [must] seek constantly to standardise its offering everywhere."
Globalisation meant that big brands, sold all over the world, should seek to 'standardise' their positioning and messaging. An American Express Gold Card should mean the same thing around the world. So should a Ford Focus or (who knows?) a Big Mac. Handled successfully, globalisation could strengthen brands… or lead to their demise if local markets reject the global marketing.
Ad agencies – who were quick to claim globalisation expertise – rose or fell with global brand success. What they did not envision was the degree to which globalisation could disrupt their operations, undermine their morale and depress their profitability.
A case example – disguised but true – illustrates the case.
In 2010, an Asian car company ('AsiaCarCo') with manufacturing operations in its home country, the US and Europe decided to globalise the marketing of its car brands. Up to this point, individual car brands had each been marketed 'locally'. According to its new global CMO, Guido Mannino, an Italian national, "our product line is an absolute pig's breakfast of brand names that mean something different in every country. Pricing, positioning, and competitive performance are all over the map. We need to sort this out. We will develop and conduct our global marketing operations from a new marketing centre in Singapore."
AsiaCarCo worked with a single global creative ad agency, 'GlobalLocal Advertising Agency (GLA)', headquartered in New York City, with local agency offices in 57 countries in the world. GLA handled the AsiaCarCo account on a decentralised basis, with regional fee budgets based on regional agency headcount and costs for North America, the UK, Europe/Russia, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. There was no overall GLA client head for the account.
Mannino flew to New York to discuss his globalisation strategy with Nigel Heathcliff, the CEO of GLA. "I want GLA to establish a creative center in Singapore, under a global client head, where we will create global strategies and creative content for our various car brands around the world. Your local offices will take this content and adapt it for their needs. We will pay you a single global fee for your operations; you can distribute the fees around your network as appropriate. We will retain some local marketing budgets by country, of course, but the bulk of your remuneration will come from the global budget."
Heathcliff quickly agreed, seeing this as an opportunity to solidify GLA's relationship with AsiaCarCo. He appointed Jerome Moore, a British GLA executive, as the AsiaCarCo global client head, and after a number of meetings between Moore and Mannino ("Moore is the right man for the job," Mannino affirmed), Moore moved to Singapore and began hiring to establish a global office for GLA.
Costs for this office approached $6 million per year. Mannino contributed $2 million for the first year, telling Moore that he should finance the remaining $4 million out of the savings to be achieved from GLA agency offices around the world. GLA offices would be creating adaptations rather than originations, and this would lead to significant agency headcount reductions in North America, Latin America, the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific and China.
To carry out the globalisation program, Mannino needed to inform his local marketing country operations about the new strategy, and to direct them to adapt GLA originations from Singapore rather than develop originations on their own. He also had to direct them to cut their local agency fee budgets significantly. This was tricky, since he did not really have marketing authority over the individual countries.
Jerome Moore, at GLA, needed to inform the local GLA country agencies about the new policy, and to determine how much their budgets could be cut so he could submit a single invoice to Mannino for the global Scopes of Work (SOWs). To do this, he needed to find out what the country SOWs had been under the 'local marketing policy', and what they would be under globalisation. This was tricky for Moore, since he had no organisational authority over the operations of individual office operations, and he had no independent information about the local SOW for AsiaCarCo.
The outcome was a predictable disaster. The local AsiaCarCo marketing organisations refused to participate in the globalisation program, rejecting the originations developed under Mannino's authority by GLA in Singapore. The local GLA agencies happily participated in this mutiny, retaining their local fee budgets. Moore and GLA Singapore were stuck with the additional globalisation costs of $4 to $6 million per year. The AsiaCarCo client became significantly unprofitable for GLA.
The organisational conflicts fostered by the mutiny consumed the participants for two years. Mannino resigned from his AsiaCarCo post to take a 'better job' in Europe. His CMO successor fired GLA and brought in a new global agency. Jeremy Moore left GLA with a black mark against his name; he was perceived to have failed at globalisation.
Globalisation, as we can see, involves more than a shifting of creative work from local offices to a global centre. Importantly, it requires a shift in power, from local CMOs to a global CMO, and from local agency client heads to a global agency client head. This shift requires CEO and CFO involvement at agency and client – globalisation is a corporate, not just a marketing strategy.
Marketing Guru Ted Levitt chided advertisers for lacking the imagination and nerve to globalise at a faster rate. What he left unsaid was the nature of the associated organisational challenges.

In a recent post, we provided a glimpse into the architecture of SimpliVity's hyperconverged infrastructure and discussed its ability to easily support different hypervisors. This week, SimpliVity announced that, in addition to supporting commercial hypervisors, like VMware vSphere, SimpliVity now supports KVM-based environments using the OpenStack cloud management platform.
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a free, open source virtualization architecture for Linux distributions. Since it's embedded in the Linux kernel, it comes standard with Linux, and supports almost any guest OS within Linux. It's robust and it's free. Win-win.
KVM is also the default hypervisor for OpenStack open source cloud management software. Since OpenStack is a Linux distribution, and KVM and OpenStack are both open source projects, there's a development affinity with them.
SimpliVity's support for KVM and OpenStack is significant for a few reasons:
- KVM/OpenStack provides another option for customers – SimpliVity is now supporting customers who have already chosen an open source hypervisor for their IT infrastructure.
- KVM/OpenStack enables flexibility and customization – It supports both private and public cloud deployments. Leveraging OpenStack enables IT organizations to dynamically move workloads, allowing more choice as to where in their cloud environment they run workloads to achieve cost objectives.
- KVM/OpenStack's enables massive scalability and simplicity – Private/hybrid clouds that are based on KVM/OpenStack benefit from ease of scale and ease of management—benefits also aligned with hyperconverged infrastructure.
- KVM/OpenStack drives down costs – IT organizations are under pressure to reduce costs. Therefore, open source can be attractive to companies that want to avoid expenses with licenses and proprietary systems. Hyperconverged infrastructure, like SimpliVity's, drives down CapEx and OpEx.
- OpenStack orchestrates both KVM and VMware workloads – Customers running VMware vSphere and KVM are able to orchestrate their private clouds using OpenStack, simplifying the hybrid cloud management experience.
As more KVM open source-based solutions move into production in the data center, there will be a need for robust and cost-efficient infrastructure to host its workloads. SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure reduces cost and complexity, while delivering the power, performance and resiliency IT organizations require to run their cloud applications.

According to Player Agent Craig Domann, The Green Bay Packers have come to terms with their first unrestricted free agent of 2009, former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Duke Preston.
Although Preston is a very large man at 6'5" and 325 lbs, Packer Head Coach Mike McCarthy denies that there has been a philosophy change with the offensive line. "He's got a nice frame. He's more of an athlete. We see him as an athletic frame. Once again, he's young, too. He has a lot of football in front of him," McCarthy said of Preston.
The Packers have been struggling to get consistent performance from the zone blocking scheme that McCarthy has been trying to implement since his arrival in 2006.
Preston was drafted in the fourth round of 2005 from the University of Illinois. He has appeared in 59 games in his career with 20 starts. In 2008, Preston took over at center for the injured Melvin Fowler and started the last 11 games.
Tom Silverstein noted that Preston struggled with some of the better tackles in the league such as Vince Wilfork, Kris Jenkins, and Shaun Rogers. Although it is a valid point, I wonder who didn't struggle with these guys.
According to conventional statistics, the Bills were 25th in the league in yards gained last season with 38 sacks allowed.
According to the interesting statistics at Football Outsiders, Buffalo had the 11th best offensive line for rushing in the NFL with 4.26 Adjusted Line Yards in 2008. Unfortunately, they had a Stuff Rate of 25% and a Sack Rate of 8.1%. (Follow the link for more details.)
Not only does Preston add some much needed bulk to the Packers offensive line, he also offers some flexibility as he has the ability to play any of the interior positions. Some are saying that he can play Tackle as well.

Gold Coast expect captain Gary Ablett to take on St Kilda in Saturday's first AFL home match of 2015 despite the superstar battling soreness in his rebuilt left shoulder.
Ablett grimaced several times during last weekend's disappointing round one loss to Melbourne in what was his first match for the Suns since dislocating his shoulder against Collingwood last July.
Suns rehabilitation coach Matthew Kennedy confirmed the dual Brownlow Medallist still needed to be managed but there was no doubt he should be fit to play the Saints at Metricon Stadium.
"Gary obviously played on the weekend and got into some fairly comprising positions in different tackles and contact that was made early, mid and late in the game," Kennedy told the Suns' website.
"He did come out a little sore which we expected … but we just need to manage that really closely, ensure that we do the right things early in the week so he can get his strength into him later in the week to maintain that strength around the area.
"He was a little sore, but happy that he got through. He just needs to be carefully managed, particularly in this early part of the season.
"One game over, onwards and upwards for the skipper."
Kennedy said injured pair Danny Stanley (quad) and Charlie Dixon (ankle) are close to full fitness but won't be available for Saturday.
Stanley is a possibility to come into the frame for selection for the round three fixture away at Geelong while tall forward Dixon is aiming to play some time in the Suns' reserves in a couple of weeks.
Kennedy added Jack Leslie had been given the all-clear after being rushed to hospital after falling on his head during a practice match for the club's reserves last weekend.
The game was the same one where Jaeger O'Meara ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee, ending his season before it even began.
Kennedy says the 2013 Rising Star winner faces a long road to recovery but has backed the 21-year-old to come back as good as ever.
"Extremely disappointing all-round as a footy club but we'll support as best we can and he'll come back in absolute cherry-ripe condition," he said.
"The kid's made of pretty good stuff and I'm sure he'll be fine."
