"A cute story that has so much of human feelings on a rat that loves to read. "
Rose A wrote this review Friday, October 18, 2013. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No"I am a sucker for books whose main character is a member of the Muroidea superfamily of Rodentia. The protagonist, Firmin, shot this book to 3 looks on merit alone. However, I take issue with the writing of the book, most specifically the use of various and random vulgarities. It is completely unnecessary,and it feels that the author is doing it just to move his novel out of YA and into a more mature audience. It doesn't serve him well. I found this is be very distracting, adding no value to the story or voice of Firmin.
With that said, I have read many reviews that state that it is a sad novel. I didn't find it so at all. I felt that Firmin had an excellent life (lest we forget he is, after all, a rat). He had an excellent home, learned to read and understand books, made a friend, and was able to find fairly good meals. The fact that he settles down in the end to await his fate is not sad, but poignant. All his life, he has tried to rise above what he is. Finally, he comes to terms with the fact that he is not a man, not an author, not a dancer or pianist, but a rat. I found it to be rather fitting.
Despite the author's sophomoric style with his use of vulgarities, I found his writing to be witty and smart. I highlighted several words, and would consider this a word-building book. I would recommend it, but not if you are easily offended. "
"Funny, about a rat that reads."
Judith wrote this review Friday, February 15, 2013. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No"Told from the perspective of a very literary Bostonian rat, this is certainly a unique book. At first, in the early stages of the novel, it is a light, laugh-out-loud funny and a sort of bibliophiles-version of the Pixar movie, Ratatouille. But make no mistake, the book doesn't linger in this mode for long. As Firmin ages, the book takes on much darker undertones - this is an adult book and not a Disney one. But booklovers will enjoy the comedy of young Firmin devouring literature in his home in a used bookstore - first literally, then metaphorically. Firmin makes for a charming narrator and what starts off as a cutesy story, with genuinely hilarious lines and observations quietly shifts into a darker, more melancholy and cynical novel. The acute observations and Firmin's interactions with both rats and humanity make this slim volume (under 200 pages!) a remarkable debut for Savage. Despite its darker undercurrent, this is an enjoyable, entertaining and ultimately a thought-provoking read.
It definitely is a rather odd book and Firmin's obsession with his "Lovelies" may make some readers uncomfortable. Ginger Rogers' appearance is also rather interesting, but it all plays into Firmin's "rattiness". The relationships constructed between the characters have a startlingly realistic feel to them as well. It truly is a fascinating novel and one that begs to be shared amonst booklovers."
"What a weird and funny little book! Abundant with literary references and illustrations that wonderfully enhance the story's progress, reading Firmin was a delightful surprise. It is one of the more imaginative and original stories that I've read recently.
Firmin is the youngest in a family of rodents living in a corner of a basement of a bookstore in a decaying, rat-infested section of Boston that is soon due for demolition. The bookstore rats, as rats will do, scavenge for food and make their bed by chewing into the middle pages of the old books stored there. Our rat hero and the story's narrator, Firmin, discovers his genius while shredding a page of one of the great novels. He accidentally realizes that he can read the words, and that the books he samples are full of ideas and profundities that can open up a world of fascinating and amazing things. He soon learns to savor the different tastes associated with different styles of literature. (Jane Eyre tastes like lettuce.) He recognizes by taste the books that are written by The Big Ones (like Joyce or Melville or Tolstoy, to name a few). "Good to eat is good to read" becomes his motto.
As his realization of his intelligence increases, he becomes completely isolated from his own kind. He is lonely and in his loneliness and sadness he goes deeper into his own imagination, taking us with him on his surreal and dream-like adventures as he seeks to understand the meaning of his "ridiculous" life.
A blurb on the back cover calls Firmin "a tale of exile, unrequited love, and the redemptive power of literature". These are awfully big words for a sweet and sad little novel like this to live up to, but I think Firmin was definitely worth a "taste".
"Firmin was written by a failed novelist, way past his prime and the story of the success of this novel reads like a Hollywood fairy tale. The author was in his late fifties when he gave up on a career as a novelist but came back to write this allegorical story of a literary rat (literally). The book became a sensation in, of all places, Italy, and word of the bookish rat soon travelled across the globe. Firmin became an international bestseller and the quiet Yale-educated Doctor of Philosophy became a famous author in his sixties. Don't let this fable keep you from actually reading the book. Firmin is brief in length but it says a lot and it's all said through the thoughts of its eponymous rodent. This is one of the best novels in a long time and Savage is a new leading light of literature. Enjoy the rat. Enjoy Savage. Have a piece of cheese that's anything but cheesy."

Ich wollte diese Geschichte lesen, seit ich eine kurze Zusammenfassung gelesen habe. Demnach geht es um die Liebe fürs Lesen und Einsamkeit. Und um eine intelligente Ratte. Nach Flowers for Algernon hatte ich eine ziemlich konkrete Vorstellung von einem solchen Tier – und Firmin ist ganz anders. Er wurde schon so geboren, nicht künstlich im Labor verändert, und erzählt seine Lebensgeschichte selber: von der Geburt über die Entdeckung der Bücher (die er erst für den Geschmack und später für den Inhalt schätzte), von seinem Leben in einer Buchhandlung und dem Umzug zu einem Schriftsteller. Alles ist niedlich und an manchen Stellen recht lustig, aber dahinter verbirgt sich ein tieferer Sinn. Firmin spricht Wahrheiten aus, die man als Mensch von einem anderen Menschen nicht gern hören würde. Außerdem spielen sich Ereignisse in Boston ab, die nicht nur sein Leben grundsätzlich verschlechtern. Und ein letzter Pluspunkt ist, dass viel über andere Bücher gesprochen wird, viel zitiert, kommentiert. Die kleine Ratte sucht für bestimmte Situationen in ihrem Leben passende Titel. Sie ist offensichtlich geboren, um Schriftsteller zu sein, aber gefangen im falschen Körper. Die Geschichte ist rührend und ich freue mich, sie gelesen zu haben, ich hatte weniger erwartet!
"What an original and wonderful idea. This little rat, Fermin, who eats books and learns to read, learns to play jazz on a toy piano and drinks wine with the man who takes him in eventually....this is one hilarious read. Full of great lines that you find yourself reading again and again because the laugh was so good, this is one rat that you will love because you'll forget that he's a rat. If he was real, I'd find him and make him my pet. He's just too cool. "
Vinnie Van Go Go wrote this review Sunday, March 20, 2011. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No"Very original. About a rat who was born in a bookstore and reads books. "
Myra wrote this review Saturday, March 19, 2011. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No"It's really kind of a depressing book but it's definitely not boring and it makes you think. Plus, the idea of a rat like Firmin is really very interesting and unique. I was sympathetic towards Firmin throughout the whole book regardless of his many character flaws. These flaws made him strikingly human, with just the right amount of rodent as well."

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Since 1976, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have been one of America's finest rock & roll bands ever, combining the ringing guitars of the Byrds with the gritty rhythmic drive of the Rolling Stones. Petty's tales of American losers and dreamers were simple and direct, but emotionally charged. The Heartbreakers were a lean, tight band that could handle hard rock & roll and melodic pop equally well. The group gained critical attention and solid sales with their first album, but 1979's Damn the Torpedos was their commercial breakthrough, selling over two million copies; it couldn't have come at a better time, since Petty filed for bankruptcy before its release.

Kristen Stewart Allegedly Looking To Dump Robert Pattinson For Ignoring Her & More
Kristen Stewart allegedly looking to dump Robert Pattinson for ignoring her & more. According to Hollywood Life and their sources, Twilight Saga hottie Kristen Stewart is now rumored to be getting ready to call it quits with Robert Pattinson,because he reportedly doesn't seem to be giving it his all to keep their relationship alive while he's filming his new "Rover" flick over in sunny Australia.
They're also claiming that this new intel has a lot to do with Rob ,possibly not able to fully move past the cheating affair that Kristen had last summer,and she's starting to realize that. Radaronline sources claim, "Kristen feels like things between her and Rob are just not working out. The truth is, it's really over between them. No matter how hard they try to fix it. Rob's tried so hard to forgive, but it seems he just can't forget what Kristen did to him and how she publicly shamed him.
When he flew to Australia to start work on The Rover their relationship was pretty much in the air. I think the only reason they got back together in the first place was because all they really know is each other." From there, their source wrapped it up by claiming that Kristen is starting to think it's time to let Rob go,stating,"But now, Rob seems to be having second thoughts and wondering if it's all really worth it, and Kristen totally gets that.
She was initially annoyed that he wasn't giving it his all, but she realizes that it's difficult for him to get over her cheating. Kristen thinks the only thing she can do is just give it up as it's not working. She's now planning the best way to implicate the breakup." Stay tuned. Follow us on Facebook by Clicking Here.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Discoveries andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt; Amedeo Kaplan dreams of discovering something — some treasure no one realizes is there until he finds it. And he would like to discover a true friend to share this with. andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt; Improbably, he finds the friend in aloof, edgy William Wilcox. And even more improbably, he finds his treasure among the memorabilia in the house of his eccentric neighbor, Mrs. Zender. But Amedeo and William find more than treasure — they find a story that links a sketch, a young boy's life, an old man's reminiscence, and a painful secret dating back to the outrages of Nazi Germany. And they discover unexpected truths about art, friendship, history, heroism, and the mysteries of the human heart.

Violent video games, booze and bravado combo recipe for aggression
Aug 7, 3:49 pm
London, Aug 7 (ANI): Violent video games are "rewiring" young brains, so that when a real confrontation was combined with alcohol it created a "toxic formula," a leading child psychologist claimed.According to Dr John Irvine, "hundreds of hours" of playing violent, realistic games was not only desensitising young minds but programming them to respond aggressively."It's impacting on the thinking of young kids and they really feel like they're in the game," the Telegraph quoted Dr Irvine, as saying."So really it's rewiring kids' brains so when they get to a real situation where there's a confrontation I think their brains are flicking into the games they spent hundreds of hours playing."Dr Irvine said that children exposed to violence at home were the most likely to respond aggressively but
video games - when combined with " alcohol and a bit of bravado" - were responsible for an increase in referrals for aggressive behaviour."I've been in the game probably longer than most child psychologists
and I have seen the change."It's a real toxic formula, even for the kids that are pretty well balanced. What all the violence does is it gives them a tolerance of violence, it doesn't repulse them," he said. (ANI)

Question: This morning I picked up my jar of oatmeal-based facial scrub. I was about to give myself a facial when I noticed the jar was crawling with tiny insects. I was meaning to give myself a treat and instead I almost rubbed live bugs into my face! Can you tell me what the creatures are and what on Earth they are doing in my beauty product?
Answer: Thank you for bringing your specimens into the Discovery Centre for identification. The insects in your facial scrub are Psocoptera, commonly called booklice or psocids.
A booklousePhotographer: Ken Walker. Source: Museum Victoria
Psocids are not generally thought to be of great economic importance. However, a few species feed on stored food products and are therefore considered to be pests. When food is readily available they can breed rapidly and spread quickly.
Psocoptera feed on unicellular algae, lichens, fungi, spores and fragments of animal or plant tissue. Their presence is usually an indication of a damp problem. When they are found in kitchens and houses, they are usually feeding on microscopic moulds that has been allowed to grow in damp or undisturbed conditions.
We get booklice brought into Discovery Centre on a fairly regular basis but I have to say, we've never seen them in a beauty product before. Given that the product is plant based, it is not surprising that they were attracted to it. If the product was moist, fungal spores got in, and the lid was left off, book lice would be quick to take advantage.
You may want to check whether you have a damp problem which could be encouraging their presence. According to Urban Pest Control in Australia by John Gerozisis and Phillip Hadlington (University of NSW Press, 2001), "proper aeration and ventilation that prevents mould growth are likely to exclude booklice."
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

A jury deliberated nearly eight hours Friday before convicting a teenager of setting a fire that killed an elderly couple in their south Oklahoma City home.
Jury convicts teen of setting deadly fire that killed elderly
Jurors found Tristan Owen, 17, guilty of two counts of manslaughter in the first degree and one count of arson in the first degree.
Panel members, though, could not agree to convict Owen of first-degree murder.
If they had, Owen would have been sentenced as an adult for killing Boyd Haynes, 87, and his wife, Doris Haynes, 86, and could have spent the rest of his life in prison.
Instead, Owen faces up to 18 years in prison after jurors recommended four years on each of the manslaughter counts and 10 years for the arson count.
Owen is set to be sentenced June 14.
The couple died of smoke inhalation, July 13, 2011, a few hours before they were scheduled to move into an assisted-living facility.
Members of the victim's family appeared disappointed when the verdicts were read and left the courtroom without speaking to reporters.
Owen's family also declined to comment.
Prosecutors alleged Owen, then 15, started a fire in a trash container outside the couple's garage, which spread to the structure.
Neither arson investigator who testified, however, could link burned pajama pants found on the defendant's property and remnants of two Molotov cocktails found in front of his house with the trash can fire.

India summons Pakistan envoy to lodge protest over killings
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India summoned Pakistan's deputy envoy to New Delhi on Tuesday and lodged a protest over the killing of five soldiers on the disputed Kashmir border, a government source said.
The attack on a post in Poonch came just as India and Pakistan were preparing to resume peace talks broken off since January when tensions rose following the beheading of an Indian soldier in a border clash, also in Poonch.
"The Pakistan deputy high commissioner was called a short while ago and a strong protest was lodged by the government over the incident at the LoC," the source said, referring to the Line of Control dividing Kashmir.
Pakistan has denied any involvement.

No clue...could be something as stupid as zip code. Still ticked off, uncool to offer money then tell me tough luck.
New members frequently ask what contests are right for me? My advice generally is single entry contests from well known companies. These are great for those without huge time commitments |
I doubt it was zipcode, probably an answer regarding usage. |
I could really use some chocolate. Any specific threads to see if there is some kind of trend? The thing I really dislike about thumbs down in c&s section is that the person is pretty much insulting the original poster. People take the time to find sweeps. Get all the relevant information and then post in a clear format only for somebody to thumb a thread down. I really don't understand it. The only way I see a legitimate thumbs down is if it somehow leads to spam or the sweepstakes/contest is shady. It really discourages people from posting. People want to share but to be spit in the face for taking the time to share is not right. I see it done many times on contests. Especially on weekends. I think people forget that this is the Sweepstakes and Contests section. I mean these are Sweepstakes/Contests not deals. There is nothing you lose from entering/not entering.

Looks like the mods caught the thumbs down bandit. I woke up, put my mouse and keyboard on usb 3.0 slots, and began my mission to find the bandit only to find a few thumbs down on yesterdays threads. I guess I should have stayed up.
I'm a potential winner from Mike's Hard Lemonade (seat cushion), but when I click the link and enter my email address, it says, "Sorry, we were unable to find your email address.
Please check the address and try again." Any suggestions? Libertarians: Keeping Republicans out of your bedroom and Democrats out of your wallet.
Was wondering if anybody would be interested in a friendly C&S sweep/contest posting competition. The way it would work would be that somebody would use random.org to roll between 1 - 30 to figure out a date in June. On that date the threads posted by the qualified competitors would count towards the competition. Seven days after at a selected time we would count up the points for the threads that were posted on the competition date. You would receive one point for each unique user post (ex thanks) in your thread and two points for each thumbs up. You would also receive negative points for blunders. Negative three points for a repost and negative one point for a Canada only thread. In the spirit of honest competition competitors would be unable to thumb up their own thread on the competition date. Competitors posts on their own threads would also not count towards their point total. Competitors would also be asked to refrain from asking family/friends/etc for thumbs up or posts. In order to throw off non competitors from the contest date competitors would need to qualify for the competition by posting at least two threads each day for the two days before the competition date and the two days after. In order to prevent competitors from saving their sweeps/contests for the competition, only threads whose sweep/contest start date is within five days of post date would count. All time would be EST since most sweeps/contests run on EST. The winner would receive three quality sweeps for the winner to post from each competitor. Losing competitors would have thirty days to give winner three quality sweeps. If winner does not post given sweep within six hours of PM then the competitor would have the right to post sweep and the sweep would count towards their three. These are just general terms and conditions but they can be changed to make the competition better as long as the majority of competitors agree. If anybody is interested PM me. This is just to make things more fun and the C&S community also benefits from the sweeps posted on the competition date. If this is not allowed or if anybody is offended please let me know and I will forget the whole competition and delete my post.
1. OP used the wrong/unofficial sweepstakes title 2. SD search feature sometimes misses even when you use the correct spelling and it also misses when you hit submit or preview. I've created a few reposts and it's very annoying when I've gone through the effort to search, then through the effort to post, only to find that the sweeps already exists. I'd think it would be more beneficial to just post things like, "Thanks," than to create a new sweeps thread, since you don't risk losing points from reposting. |

To the Editor:— This is a revolutionary age. Scientific discoveries are shaking the pillars of the Temple and we are calmly accepting the new dicta. There are limits, however, to our subserviency. C. C. Little in his paper "Parental Influence on the Incidence of Cancer" (The Journal, May 13, p. 93) takes liberties with our concept of what is normal. He argues that it is normal for the cell to metabolize and divide. "It is in a biologic sense 'abnormal' for it to sacrifice this basic activity and to replace it by assumption of some specialized form of function the duration of which is definitely limited." From his point of view "cell division [growth] is the natural objective and climax of activity of the normal healthy cell." On this rather thin basis he looks on the cancer cell with its unlimited power of cell division as the normal (healthy?) cell

The Jedi are back and ready to rumble in Dark Tide 1: Onslaught, the second book to appear in Del Rey's five-year New Jedi Order story arc, which picks up events 25 years after A New Hope. Reading R.A. Salvatore's Vector Prime first--while not necessary (and some fans even recommend against it)--will help enormously in understanding the alien threat facing the New Republic, the sinister Yuuzhan Vong. The Jedi, under the now truly formidable Luke, must rise to beat back the biotech-wielding invaders, and we really get to see the Solo kids and good ol' Corran Horn shine. Lando and especially Han get short shrift (that's probably just as well in this new series), but Luke and Mara still manage to get a whole lot of lovin' going on. This is excellent work by the ever popular Stackpole (Rogue Squadron). --Paul Hughes [via]

This autobiography proves to have been more than worth the wait. The insights we are granted here into just what MacArthur went through genuinely tug at the heart--and never in any sentimental or manipulative way. Her very air of "ordinariness" (no film-star looks, no breast-beating egomania as in all too many sports personalities) was refreshing, but it's that monumental endurance and skill she demonstrated on her epic voyage that commands our admiration. The earlier sections of the book, detailing her childhood in Derbyshire (quite some distance from the sea) may have us impatient for her great ocean adventure, but they're skilfully and affectingly written. And when she begins her preparations for the Vendée Globe, we take a deep breath, knowing that we'll experience all the arduous adventure and danger that is facing her.
Some may argue that autobiographies are being written by younger and younger authors, with their lives still ahead of them. But surely (in this case) the timing is perfect. --Barry Forshaw
Partly because Ellen's aim truly is her life story, as she wants to tell it, rather than a record of the Vendee ghostwritten with a professional auther and sandwiched with a bit of bio. Partly because there's little sense of cash-in here - it's 10 months since Ellen was significantly in the public eye, as opposed to just that of the sailing world, and the book seems a more considered and worthwhile exercise for that distance. But mostly because she tries much harder than others have to convey the emotions of ocean racing, rather than just the impressions. There's no attempt to either hide or gloss over here - for example the verbatim emails to shore manager Mark Turner, full of typing mistakes and intense passions, are a brave yet successful approach.
By giving so much of herself - her childhood, her doubts, fears and dreams, and her relationships with family and friends - within the book, Ellen establishes a vein of honesty and intimacy that means we're then in a better position than with any other author I can think of (even the genre's classics, such as Bernard Moitessier) to understand the love of the sea and sailing that drives such individuals.
And of course, at the end of the day this is still a cracking good adventure. Even if you've never sailed on anything other than a cross channel ferry, it's impossible not to get swept up in the tale of the 2000-1 Vendee, and to share the sense of drama, excitement and achievement. I remember those three months so well, stuck in an office but subscribing to Ellen's daily emails, and my delight at the almost unreal way in which sailing finally got some national attention.
Read more ›For almost as long as she's sailed (she's still only 26), Ellen says she's had this book in her. The Vendée Globe was a later ambition and it's the book, not the race, that closes the first chapter in her life.
So what's the difference? Rich person goes on elitist adventure and finds themselves. South Pole, North pole, round the world, across the world, balloon, boat, on foot, in eight days, in eighty days. Been there, read the biography.
Wrong, Ellen was an outsider. Entranced by the sea from afar in childhood, her book is no ego-trip. She's not cashing in here. She wrote it because she has something to say: Go for it.
She did, and along the way took herself, her family, her friends, the men in her life and a legion of supporters to the brink of despair and edge of elation. For one so determined her compassion is remarkable and unpretentious.
I guess you could learn a lot about sailing by reading this book: how remarkable it is that some sailors get to the start, the danger, the skills, the sleep deprivation, the excruciating discomfort, the camaraderie, the helplessness and the weather. But it ain't what makes the book special.
Not even ten pages of acknowledgements make it special. But the fact I read them all does.
As the finish line to the race that threatened to crush her spirit approached Ellen wished she could turn around and head out to sea again. Reluctant to leave Kingfisher, she tried to steal more time aboard from hordes of press and supporters. As page 394 drew nearer I experienced a similar feeling.
If "Taking on the World" isn't the greatest book I read this year I'll eat my spinnaker.
This book is truely sensationl and inspiring. It is a must read and i guarantee anyone who reads this book will feel the same.
I listened to Ellen reading her story as I painted the outside of the house, balanced on a ladder. It certainly put the little heart stopping moments when my ladder wobbled, into perspective!
Although Ellen is not an actress she still puts enough personal feeling into the reading to more than makes up for that.
Read it, or listen to it, and it will put British winter weather into perspective!

It's been said that the night is darkest right before the dawn of a new day. The same may be true for the dark days of B2B marketing. The past five years have seen marketing's value, credibility and influence challenged to the point where many organizations removed their CMOs and had function report to sales.
A New Day for Marketing
A recent report by Forrester's Laura Ramos, "B2B CMOS Must Evolve or Move On," heralds that a new dawn may be breaking. Marketing has regained internal credibility, tenure has increased and other disciplines are increasingly seeking advice and guidance from CMOs.
While the sample size is small — 177 to be precise — and is limited to mainly Fortune 500 companies, Forrester's conclusion is that marketers have stepped up their game in order to survive. But not without ongoing risks. Budgets aren't growing, increased scrutiny continues, as well as an expectation that B2B marketing is accountable for measurable revenue.
Meanwhile, CMOs are faced with new responsibilities for which they lack the skills and resources while competing in rapidly evolving markets that makes planning futile. Additionally, they are expected to expertly balance overseeing execution with spending most of their days in the field collaborating with peers.
To turn that dawn into a new day, Laura advises B2B CMOs to redefine their jobs. She offers four suggestions:
- Drop reporting on marketing-only metrics. Instead report on those activities and investments that are directly tied to company goals and business objectives.
- Delegate, delegate, delegate. Hire the right resources and empower them with the responsibility and hold them accountability for executing tactical plans and delivering the results to plan.
- Retool how the rest of the organization sees marketing. Get out and walk in the shoes of peers then show them how marketing positively impacts their business objectives.
- Lead the transformation to a customer-obsessed organization. Understand customer lifetime expectations and show peers where the gaps are and how to close them with a mix of programs, realigned investments, and culture change.
The last bullet challenges CMOs to think differently.
Marketing needs to stop focusing on "The Lead" and start acting as a trusted resource not just for prospects and customers but also internally. Social media, transparency and buyer control have fundamentally changed marketing. Branding has been replaced by buyer enablement and delivering on expectations of outcomes, proof proofs, value and experience.
The buyer expects that suppliers intimately understand their business, how they define value and deliver on those expectations throughout the lifetime of the relationship. Any change in that experience impacts trust, credibility and, ultimately, the buyer's confidence. Only by being relevant, responsive and reliable can B2B CMOs turn hard earned credibility into trust, internally as well as with buyers.
Ironically, the starting point for becoming a trusted partner is the same as beginning the transformation into a customer-obsessed organization. It begins with an intimate understanding of the buyers' journey and operationalizing it externally as well as internally.
Journey Maps as Catalyst for Change
Where CMOs often falter is in how they operationalize journey maps. Too often journey maps are seen as a marketing- or customer service-only initiative to fix tactical, siloed activities. The real ROI of journey mapping comes when they are operationalized cross-functionally.
Using journey maps to improve demand generation might make Marketing look good but when those new customers churn because the post-purchase experience is radically different from the marketing experience, no advantage is gained. Actually more harm is done because the brand's reputation is tarnished, internal finger pointing between teams leaves employees frustrated, and revenue is lost, forever, not just from that customer but from those they've told.
The right approach is for Marketing, Product Management, Sales, Customer Service, Field Support, IT, HR and Operations to collectively determine how to operationalize the maps — a simple statement that is often very hard for companies to follow through on. Journey mapping leads to change and no one likes change especially if they didn't think it up. Teams able to work through their zero-sum games of power and see themselves through the lens of the buyer have the greatest potential to transform their organizations into tomorrow's market leaders.

Greenpeace Hates on Apple, Facebook and Google Data Centers
| by Padmini Harchandrai |
Yesterday was Earth Day and of course, a huge part of understanding and evalutating the purpose of an environmental awareness day is thinking about the tech industry and the impact it creates on the planet. Greenpeace didn't miss a beat outting Apple, Facebook and Google as 'Earth Day enemies'. They released a report on the effects that cloud computing in particular had on the planet, and graded companies on how they powered their data centers. They calculated these figures based on estimates According to Greenpeace, computer servers at data centers make for 2% of the world's energy demand and the demand is growing at a rate of 12% per year. Around half the companies examined, including companies like Google, Facebook and Apple use coal to fuel their energy needs instead of renewable sources like solar power and wind power. Greenpeace admits though that it's hard to evaluate the overall environmental impact of data centers because they reduce the need of environmentally inefficient factors like CD usage, commuting and paper usage. The companies themselves are hesitant to release information which is why Greenpeace determined "clean energy index" and "coal intensity" based on estimates of power demand for evaluated facilities. The big companies are making changes so they will eventually get in Greenpeace's good books. Google's signed off on a 20-year power purchasing agreement from a wind factory to power its data center in Oklahoma and Microsoft's recently agreed to buy wind energy for its Dublin data center. |

I had gone to Dr. Thomas to get the lasik done after having vision problems for the past 2 years and my eye doctor kept trying different contacts every 6 months. Tired of that went to Dr. Thomas who was honest with me and said he could not do the lasik because I had cateracks in both eyes. I decided at that time to have the cateracks removed from Dr. Thomas. Had the left one done 1st and my vision is perfect now. Can hardly wait to get the right one done next. The procedure went fast and no discomfort at all as he advised. I am extremely happy with his performance. I would highly recommend him.

Typhoon Danas unlikely to affect Taiwan directlyCNA TAIPEI -- A new typhoon that has formed in the Pacific is unlikely to have any direct effect on Taiwan as it moves toward Japan, but Taiwan's outlying islands and coastal areas should be on the alert for heavy surf, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said yesterday.
October 8, 2013, 12:08 am TWN As of 8 a.m. Monday, Typhoon Danas was centered 890 kilometers east of Taipei, moving in a north northwesterly direction at a speed of 29 km per hour, according to the bureau. It was packing maximum sustained winds of 183 kph, with gusts of up to 226 kph. Danas, the 24th storm of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, is expected to move toward Japan after it reaches the Ryukyu Islands between Taiwan and Japan, and will not directly threaten Taiwan, forecasters said. However, Taiwan's outlying Matsu Islands, Green Island and Orchid Island, as well as coastal areas in the northern and eastern parts of the country, could expect big waves Monday and Tuesday as the typhoon makes its way north, the bureau said, advising beachgoers to exercise caution.

Listen To The Audio Interview Below…
Unlike the past when screening for HIV/AIDS was a big issue for most people, screening for the deadly disease and knowing one's status has been embraced due to awareness created by various NGO's and the Government.
Even though the fight against stigmatization has not been won, the education and campaign championed so far has been very positive and welcomed at several quarters.
If an ordinary man chooses to screen for his HIV/AIDS, the world probably wouldn't care about the outcome. On the flipside, when a known actor takes the same decision, especially in the presence of thousands, it is worth knowing the outcome.
2011 Ghana's Favourite Male Actor, Prince David Osei confidently screened for HIV/AIDS last Saturday as his foundation screened students at the Labone Senior High School during their organised health screening and fitness programme.
In the presence of the hundreds of students, the actor got himself tested to open the screening process. In an interview with GhanaCelebrities.Com after going through several screening processes, he said, as the [Prince David Osei Foundation] organiser, he needed to live by the saying 'leadership by example', hence why he got screened first to encourage the students.
He said "I took this upon myself. I decided to screen for HIV/AIDS because leadership is by example so if you want the students to do it, you have to do it. I didn't have a choice.
He continued, "It was my first time testing and anything could have happened. I was just daring and brave enough to go and do the HIV/AIDS test.
"Thank God the result was negative. Having done the test, I can also encourage other people to do it because I don't think it is any scary thing."
"If you know your status, it is good. At least, if it is negative then you become careful or if it is positive, you will have retroviral drugs that can lessen it. Whether it is positive or negative, life still goes on."
Aside HIV/AIDS, the Prince David Osei Foundation screened students for Malaria Parasite, Syphilis, Sugar Level, Blood Pressure as well as eye screening.

teriyaki chicken pizza
On week two of our new homemade pizza tradition {we can call it a tradition now that we've successfully completed 4 weeks in a row}, Steven wanted to make a buffalo chicken pizza so I decided to make a BBQ chicken pizza since I'd be cooking the chicken anyway.
A couple hours before the dough was to be ready, I boiled two large chicken breasts and threw them into my stand mixer to shred, while hot - worked like a charm! While reaching for the BBQ sauce I spotted our teriyaki marinade. We love teriyaki, it had to be amazing on a pizza. And it was.
I divvied up the warm shredded chicken into some bowls, and mixed one with the marinade. The warm chicken completely soaked up the marinade. I just set it aside until we were ready to build our pizzas.
teriyaki chicken pizza
homemade pizza crust
italian blend shredded cheese
teriyaki marinade {used as the pizza sauce}
marinated chicken
green bell pepper slices
red onion slices
Pre-heat your oven to 425*. Layer the crust, sauce/marinade, cheese, chicken, peppers, onions, cheese. Another drizzle of marinade if you're feeling saucy. Pop it in the oven for ~15 minutes. Easy peasy. Use the same method for BBQ chicken pizza.
If your marinade seems on the thin side, I would put some in a pan over low to medium heat and reduce it to thicken it up before using it as a sauce.
It was amazing. The chicken was nice and moist and the teriyaki flavor was perfect. My sister was over for dinner that night and the pizza received double thumbs up from all three of us. So six thumbs, in case you were counting. :) We will be making this one again!
We want to try to find a way to include avocado on a pizza next. We must use our current food obsession in every way possible. Has to be done.
What are your favorite pizza toppings??
xoxo, christa
meal planning,

Warn about what? That the media has been removed? AFAIK USB does this right now. Or you are suggesting another message from the file system layer saying: "see, about that in-transit data you are thinking about... well, it's gone now." :)
