Twitter for the (PR) Win: A True Story
Posted by
Ali Smith
on Mon, Mar 28, 2011 @ 09:17 AM
Email Article
Writing about social media is nothing new for this blog. Just last month John wrote about why its necessary to have a
social media strategy
. My colleagues have also repeatedly covered the
the good
the bad
of Facebook and Twitter.
So what could I possibly have to add to the mix? Truth be told, not much except for my own story of how Twitter recently helped me, and scored a PR win for a
local fabric and home decorating store
Let me quickly set the stage. A few weeks ago I headed into a local G Street Fabrics in search of the perfect fabric for a cushion I wanted to make for a bench my husband had just built for our foyer. Let me be clear though, I cant sew. Not even a button. Sure, I took home economics when I was in 7th grade but that was roughly 20 years ago and I really had no business thinking I could sew a cover for a cushion. But I figured it was a fabric store, surely theyd have a pattern I could use, and really, how hard could it be?
Well, Ill never know the answer to that question. After wandering around the store totally overwhelmed, unsure of what to do or where to start, not sure if the fabric I had selected was appropriate, no idea how much I needed or how to get someone to cut it and unable to figure out who even worked in the store to ask for help I left, totally dejected and deflated. So what did I do? I tweeted about my horrible experience. You know where this is going, right?
To my surprise the next day I had a response from
apologizing for my less than positive experience, asking what store I had been at and how could they help me. Now it should be known that I did not use their handle when I tweeted my frustration. So this means that clearly someone on their end was (and presumably still is) being proactive and monitoring Twitter to see who is talking about them. Also, it is clear that the person doing the monitoring isnt just some lowly intern but someone who has the authority to make things happen.
After a bit of back and forth via Twitter, I received an email from G Street Fabrics along with an offer to make my cushion, at no charge to me (except for the fabric and the foam insert both of which they sold to me at a discount). This was certainly much more than I expected. I was just hoping for some help picking out the right fabric and finding an easy pattern to follow. I am certainly very appreciative of their offer to make the cushion and the service I ultimately received. And trust me, I am letting them make the cushion
(see above about how I can't sew)
So whats the moral of the story?
Having a social media plan goes beyond just signing up for Twitter or Facebook. Be active, monitor, engage and interact with your audience. We hear so much about
customer service failures on Twitter
that when done right, people are sure to talk! In fact, so far Ive shared this story with my coworkers, my family, some friends and now you. What better PR could G Street Fabrics ask for?

March Flatness: Why Are NCAA Tournament Games Getting Closer, and What Does It Mean For PR?

Email Article
Attention Steph: This image is free to use per GFDL license (which explains why it's so crummy)
Trends tend to bend unending.
(Sorry about the poetic assault. But you get the gist of it, right? Trends have a tendency to self-perpetuate.)
Success breeds success. Failure breeds failure. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. And Duke wins the title by 30.
Except not this year.
In case you havent noticed, most of our recent tournament games have been uncharacteristically competitive. And Butler (our nations top-rated program for studying traditional British housekeeping) is right back in the thick of itafter coming within inches of the 2010 championship.
Wait, Butler, really?
Since when do top players go to Butler? Dont they usually go to UNC or Kentucky? Dont they get recruited by the best schoolsthe most prestigious programs?
Well yeah, they do. So whats going on here?
Introducing (drum roll, please)
talent drainage
. You know, draiiiinage! I drink your milkshake. Or rather, the NBA does.
See, top-tier players have stopped going to college. Which means Morehead State has the same exact chance of landing the next Michael Jordan as UNC does: essentially none.
When you drain the top of a bell curve, youre increasing the parity throughout the system. Sure, UConn still gets first dibs at all the second-tier players. But the differential between the second and third tiers is nowhere near the cavernous divide that separates the first and second. (Even todays college stars like Kemba Walker are probably 6
men in the pros.)
All right, you say. Maybe thats true. But what the heck does this have to do with PR?
First of all, calm down. Its just a blog post. Secondly, Im trying to make the argument here that were seeing this same type of parity injection in the news media. And Im wondering if drainage isnt partiallyor chieflyresponsible.
Im talking about outlets more than reporters here (though surely, an argument could be made that as news rooms cut back, as writers are forced to cover more beats in less time, as quantity trumps quality, and as sensationalism trumps integrity, perhaps todays best, most inquisitive minds might be turning away from journalism to something more lucrative or fulfilling).
But its the outlets that are most visibly disappearing (or: joining that great NBA in the sky, as it were). Folding, merging, or dissipating.
Yes, we have more outlets than ever before. But to make room, were cutting from the top.
Thats a serious problem for the industry. And yet the side effect Im getting atparitymight not be such a bad development for most of the worlds small businesses.
Back in 1965, the difference in value between a
New York Times
feature and a story on the cover of a poorly Xeroxed communist newsletter was pretty major, right?
But today, I might get more use and more engagement from an article by an online blogger than from anything printed in black and white. And thats a good thing for the welterweights, since access to the little guys in journalism is a whole lot less prohibitive for the little guys in business.
The power structure shifts so that the dance might continue unabated. Perhaps the product suffers. Or perhaps increased parity fuels competition and a new media arms race.
One way or the other, it's a slam dunk.

Should you post that image on your blog? Not before you read this.

Posting images on blogs... it seems so simple that it's almost an afterthought. Find a picture you like on the Interwebs, grab the link, place it in your blog and you're done, right? Hardly.
Without properly attributing images (and knowing which images are fair game in the first place), you are potentially exposing yourself and your company to claims of
copyright infringement
. While there is
some debate
over what is
fair use
and what constitutes
copyright infringement
, testing the murky legal water on this topic isn't something I imagine most of our readers would care to do. And if you're sitting there thinking to yourself, "But Stephanie, nobody ever gets caught for posting a copyrighted image on a blog!"
think again
There are already a number of
excellent posts
out there that
how to find
usable images for your blog. If you're unfamiliar with how to do this, or what a
Creative Commons
license is, read those links.
Over the weekend, I stumbled upon this fantastic poster and flowchart by
Pia Jane Bijkerk
Erin Loechner
Yvette Boven
that should serve as a simple and helpful guide to crediting (click on the image to enlarge)...
Bottom line:
attribution and image copyrights matter just as much on blogs as they do on other properties
. If you haven't been properly attributing the images on your blogs (and making sure they are safe to use in the first place), I recommend going back and doing so. Moving forward, make sure you institute best practices for your images to make sure they are appropriately sourced and freely available via Creative Commons license, and accurately credited.

Selling the News To Consumers Is Tough – When You've Already Sold It to Advertisers
Posted by
Ali Smith
on Fri, Mar 18, 2011 @ 03:20 AM
Email Article
Sometimes, media reps come to visit us at our offices. They bring bagels and sandwiches, I crack a few jokes, and we shoot the breeze. It's pretty much the highlight of my week.
Now some of my more cynical colleagues have suggested that these wonderful folks might also be harboring an ulterior motive of sorts—something to the tune of "selling ad space."
Well, if so, that's a small price to pay for my free sandwiches and—in the summer—
Slip n' Slide time
. I've always been reasonably satisfied with the quid pro quo. Except lately, these reps haven't been selling ad space; they've been selling
(I felt that. You just shifted uncomfortably in your chair.)
Look, I'm not going to rail about the ethics of this practice; it's not really hurting anybody, and it's hardly unprecedented. But it
on the rise. And I have to wonder if it's a smart direction for our industry to be taking in the long run.
Here's the anatomy of a vicious cycle:
1. News outlets lose readership because of a
trust deficit
the size of… well, the deficit.
2. Advertisers take their money out of news outlets and invest instead in Apple stock.
3. News outlets invent "custom editorial" opportunities for advertisers as a way to lure them back.
4. Readers can't tell whether they're reading ads or articles, the trust gap widens, and readership erosion accelerates.
Okay, the first premise Stephanie's likely to challenge is my contention that a "trust shortfall" is to blame for the news media's woes.
Obviously, there are other factors at work (Web- and cable-fueled outlet and channel proliferation/customization, social media-fueled citizen journalists, politically fueled anti-media sentiment, etc.)
But if you get to the heart of those ancillary issues, it's an overall lack of trust that dominates the picture. Readers and viewers are turning against traditional outlets because they simply don't
them to be consistently more relevant or forthright than the rest of the field.
We see it all the time in other industries. Good products go bad when monetization efforts trump the user experience. So instead of worrying about short-term cash flow, media companies should be far more concerned about the long-term viability of their products. (I know, an outsider saying, "don't worry about cash flow" is about as helpful as a dolphin telling the Titanic victims not to worry about the water level.)
But look: History attests that a truly useful, high-quality offering very rarely fails to find a business model in the end.
And yet the landfills are cluttered by marginal products with "brilliant" monetization schemes. And the best laid plans of mice and men do so often go astray—floating adrift in the current, kind of like me, on a hot July Slip n' Slide sales call.

Can't We All Just Get Along?!

Following up on my
last blog post
about the personalized media pitch, I recently came across
this story
about an unpleasant interaction between a PR "pro (
I use the term loosely
) and a blogger. Assigned to shout from the mountaintops that the agency she works for has been selected as the agency of record for a Canadian company, this PR rep gets into a battle with a blogger after sending her a press release totally off topic.
The article asks if the blogger was too harsh? I guess you could say sure, she didnt need to be so snarky (really, she didnt) but shouldnt the PR pro have done her homework? Shouldnt she have taken even five minutes to check out the blog and see what this blogger actually wrote about instead of just taking whatever list Vocus or Cision spit out at her as the gospel? The answer should be a resounding YES!
Truth be told, the whole situation makes me roll my eyes. Id like to believe that Ive never sprayed and prayed, as the blogger calls it, but Im sure I have at least once in my career (
). In this situation, the agency rep should have apologized immediately, but instead didnt seem to consider the repercussions of her behavior until the blogger pointed it out to her.
That said, who in PR hasnt on occasion wanted to speak their mind when theyve received a nasty response from a reporter? Weve grown so accustomed to being ignored, and occasionally disrespected, by reporters that when a reporter is responsive and kind (even if rejecting a story idea) we are shocked.
Trust me, Im not making excuses for how this agency rep responded (she clearly was in the wrong) but couldnt the blogger also have shown a bit of self restraint and told this young woman in a firm, but polite, way that her release was way off topic, or as so many reporters typically do, just don't respond? I understand this could have been her umpteenth off-topic email of the day, week, month, year, etc. and that she could have been pushed to her limit and felt the need to respond the way she did.
If I could apologize to every reporter for every PR rep who has ever sent them an off-topic pitch I would, but I cant. What I can do though is promise every reporter I deal with that I certainly try my hardest to make sure I am pitching you on topic. In return, can I ask that journalists stop hating on my chosen profession because of a few (ok, maybe a lot) of bad apples?

"There's a Stat for That:" Using Data to Support Your Content Marketing Strategy
Posted by
Ali Smith
on Sat, Mar 12, 2011 @ 04:04 AM
Email Article
I was inspired to write after learning of a recent study demonstrating that women show a 22%-25% lower risk of stroke when drinking at least one cup of coffee than those who drink less, according to
USA Today
, and WTOP. The news is based on a recent report published in
Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association
I feel validated, inspired even, to make that second pot of coffee, even though last week my team hinted I might have a "problem" because I consume upwards of 6
Keurig K-Cups
a day in the office.
It makes one wonder if there was an ulterior motive to this report: did the coffee industry inspire the research, which began in Sweden 10 years ago? Was there a particular PR effort behind the release of this news to offset multiple reports (
) last month that coffee bean prices have reached their 14-year high, thanks to atypical weather in Columbia and Brazil?
Connecting the dots: wacky weather in coffee country = higher prices for beans = lower spending ability on your Starbucks card = drop in consumption.
But wait! Coffee is good for you, especially for women, as this special report showed reduced risk of stroke for 34,670 women aged 49-83 over an average of 10 years. Pause: take a sip from my
Green Mountain
Dark Roast.
I can't call this the Great Coffee Conspiracy, because I like my coffee too much and I heard what I wanted to hear. That's the point.
There are statistics, trends, infographics and findings for just about anything. As an analytical species, the human race wants validation for decisions and choices that are made.
We have seen the power of stats and graphs, and I believe they are powerful in B2B and B2G when used in a targeted content marketing plan. They are as good as gold if they can point to a revelation or controversy that enables the decision maker to consider a fuller picture.
That being said, we believe that just like you can't "cook the books," you can't "bake the data," so some best practices should be considered when utilizing data to your advantage:
Consider the source:
Get a third party source who is respected among your primary audience and be real. If you craft a study on cloud computing trends, social media adoption rates, or any other topic that has reached mainstream media, find a source that is respected amongst your peers. It should carry more weight when it's someone your customers trust. We recently initiated a research report tapping respected researcher
Bob Gourley
(@bobgourley), former CTO for DIA, editor of
and founder of
, who is influential within the community our client cares about.
We have also tapped local research firm
Market Connections
, a company that conducts deep research and findings for IT and telecom companies in the B2G and B2B space, and generates research that can be used for product development, marketing, sales, as well as press efforts.
Be authentic:
Don't make this stuff up. Know the target audience that you hope to influence, and ask the burning questions that you know are on their mind. And if you don't know? Ask them! Be authentic if you are the inspiration for a study: no one likes a thinly veiled attempt to promote statistics, but customers will appreciate your declaration of authoring a study that they can use.
Create concise questions
: Too many studies end up on the cutting room floor because the questions aren't posed succinctly, or clearly, or don't point to specific perspectives. Be concise, and put strategic thought into how to derive the best results to make your point.
Be controversial
: It's OK to elicit contrarian viewpoints...even applauded! Even better are those that go against status quo, especially if the results point to a perspective that is valuable to those who want to make an informed, educated decision.
Research and statistics in a content marketing plan are like French vanilla creamer in a cup of french roast coffee...it sweetens the experience, but you still need the caffeine. Now, time to brew another K-Cup...

PR Lessons from Charlie Sheen
Posted by
Ali Smith
on Wed, Mar 09, 2011 @ 07:09 AM
Email Article
In the past week or so it has become pretty clear that Charlie Sheen needs help of some sort, whether that be for alcohol abuse, OD-ing on
Charlie Sheen
, or a variety of other issues. While his situation may seem like a complete PR nightmare (which resulted in his publicist
Stan Rosenfeld
to quit in the midst of it), there are a few things that Charlie may have done right when it comes to these PR basics.
Tell the truth While Charlie may seem crazy to most, at least he is honest about it. He admits that he has had addiction problems, he talks openly about his rock-star lifestyle and chooses not to be ashamed of how he lives his life. Charlie does not attempt to hide who he is, but instead fully embraces it making no apologies. By speaking out with no filter, he has had the ability to control the message about him; even if the message happens to be that he is crazy.
Be controversial If you are saying what everyone else is, you probably wont get your brand a lot of attention. With the number of celebrities that have had a breakdown and head to rehab these days, no one would have batted an eye had Charlie taken that route. He, however, has broken from the mold of what might typically be advised. While his thoughts and ramblings may be a bit out there, people are interested. And whether they agree with him or not -- they are listening.
Timing is everything During the height of his media attention, Charlie chose to create a
account. He proceeded to be recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for being the quickest person to break one million followers, having achieved that amount in just 25 hours and 17 minutes. And his outrageous #tigerblood and #winning hashtags have been trending on Twitter since he joined. After the attention from traditional media dies down, (which inevitably it must right?) Charlie will continue having a voice to millions through Twitter.
In the heat of all the drama surrounding Charlie right now, his best move may be to lay low for a while and work out some problems. But if its any conciliation, after his
knife incident
in late 2009 and previous stints in rehab, his show bounced back stronger than ever. So while I would never recommend this method of publicity, considering a rerun of Two and a Half Men had
11.5 million
viewers on Monday night, making it the most watched show that night, maybe we the viewers are right where Charlie wants us.

A real high-ball! Stand start in the angleing crack then move left to good edges at about 7ft up. Dynamic, or long moves leads to very cruxy slopers right at the top. The second crux right at the end makes it very very real problem.
On the Brain Boulder in the project area. Just right of unknown9. Climb straight up.
I put this up in 2000. Hard SDS, to a gaston/back hand crimp in the crack leads to SLOPEY even harder sketchier top out. I called it Kung Foo Hand.
Did you give this a grade? Mothena and I thought this was a project. Great line! Based on other stuff in the area I felt like this was in the V8 range, as a guess.
we climbed it to within 4 inches of the top multiple times one day, but couldnt commit to the very last off balance move soo high up...so we ended up down climbing and dropping. This was in the massive humidity of august, and it felt maybe 6ish to me then, probably very different grade in good temps.
its committing but not V8 maybe mentally V8 :) V6 sounds more like it.
Sounds good, that is something I can get on then!

Nanson: A North Dakota Ghost Town
Rolette County
Abandoned as of 5/12
As we set out to photograph ghost towns in early May of 2012, we had Nanson in mind as our ultimate destination. We've known about Nanson for quite some time, but somehow we just never managed to make it there — it was time.
After driving all day through an array of locations, we reached US Highway 2 and drove into Rugby for some lunch before we headed for Nanson. We enjoyed some huge double cheeseburgers at the Cornerstone Cafe and departed for Nanson.
As we headed north of Highway 2 we were struck by the wide open space and the brilliant blue sky. The green rolling hills bring to mind the opening sequence of 'Little House on the Prairie.' The trees get more sparse, and farmsteads flash by less frequently. Traffic diminishes and the solitude presses in. And just when you think you've driven through a time portal to the 1800′s, a wind farm appears over the horizon and dozens of turbines with giant white blades spin lazily in the prairie wind.
We traveled a few dozen miles and arrived at our turn — from a paved two lane highway to a hard-packed, chalky dirt road. We were only able to drive a few hundred feet before we were forced to get out and walk due to deep potholes with puddles at the bottom. We had arrived at Nanson.
Today, only four homes and a few scattered garages and outbuildings remain of the town that was once Nanson. Incredibly, there was not a powerline or telephone pole to be seen. The only sign that people once inhabited the place was the crumbling remains of family homes, all arranged in a line on the west side of the road.
The moment we stepped off the road, we discovered Nanson is inhabited — infested is more the word — the ticks were unbelievable. To capture the photos you see below, we accepted the price of having to pick ticks off ourselves all the way home and into the next day — and we did.
Visitors to our website have commented on a store which operated in Nanson until the 1970′s… that store is no longer in Nanson. It has been moved to the Hawk Antique and Farm Machinery Museum near Wolford.

Blow up the box but gave up my truck that we have a very special episode for you today were not gonna talk mixed martial -- republic bit about boxing.
But not with a boxer -- somebody who became intimately familiar with one -- that most.
Famous boxers of our time Mike Tyson this is James took back the director of the documentary Tyson.
You know.
I interview fighters all the time mixed martial arts -- And I can ask them questions about.
What it's like to be in the octagon what is likely to be in a fight -- -- -- a very presumptuous in these questions you know all say things like why did you finish your opponent off why were you hesitating things like that.
And you look at me in -- Demeter to look in any after the west.
That I watched Tyson.
Thank you -- your film and I thought to myself.
While I am pretty presumptuous who -- -- thing that I can get in a fighter's head.
And that's what you do for ninety minutes he led us into this world class fighters head.
And it's who messed up messed up place today.
How did you get to gnome and what was it like it filming this move.
Well what one I met him he was wide eyed innocent innocent news -- and -- and he was nineteen not yet heavyweight champ became medicine of the pickup artist.
And which I was doing would Downey.
And threw -- -- yet and a Colombian two girls and again that's right which is going to Colorado Blu-ray so cool.
And he wanted to meet had a -- and Blu-ray.
Five back at and it and dad and that what happened was.
We hit it off.
He was curious about Jim brown.
Whose house he visited the week before nice to live with Jim before that he wants to know about the award season Jim Brown's house with a long talk about that can you do -- -- locked -- -- I did I did it with -- which it -- -- -- also actually.
So over the years Mike and I've stayed very friendly when he got out of prison I thought.
That he would.
Be great in black and white because the whole hip hop world idolize him he's an icon and he still is actually not as did a song about him in this movie and Tyson.
But I use them in black and white which is a collaboration Wu tang clan plays himself with a great scene where Downey hits on -- relentless these are gay husband -- Brooke Shields.
And Mike smacks Downey chokes and slams him on the ground and then.
Is intimidated by Brooke Shields who hits on him it -- -- -- handle it.
But he's great in the movie and we talked about doing a broader movie a -- portrait which this is what.
Came of it and once we decided to do it there was no question we had to go away so he just let it out and let it.
Out he did you know.
I didn't know anything about the -- going into I watched it.
And as as you're not sit in the theater and watching him sit down on the couch the whole time it was one of the most honest things I think I've ever seen.
Did you know what you were doing when you went into it or did you think let me just take this guy and see what's going to happen I I have to say I hope that would get something close.
What I got I really got more than I expected even though I'd known him for a long long time a lot of stuff came out that I didn't know but it wasn't just information that I didn't know.
He was even more open -- he was in these late night conversations we've had over the years about intimate subjects.
Often he'll call me out of the blue.
23 months have gone by since -- last -- until.
And he'll say Jim tell back Mike Tyson is that I don't know the voice.
And then will be and to murder sex love crime -- you know and then we say good -- we speak a month later two months later.
But even those conversations didn't prepare me for how intimate and how open he wasn't my only.
Assumption can be even though he would deny it is because he says he just was doing it because I asked them to I think he has an.
A fundamentally confessional nature.
And I think with all the stuff that's been written about him which he knows -- -- which misrepresents have been makes -- feel that he's reading about a free.
And not about himself.
He wanted to chance to get out into the public now and as a kind of act of immortality.
And say this is who I was.
Not the person you thought you knew not that -- monster you've been -- you've been imagining you knew but this is who I am unadulterated.
Not no lines no censorship.
Whatever you think at least think it of the person I am now showing -- not what you've heard and read.
Now we also all -- -- the film we'll see.
Flashbacks -- use B roll and -- natural sound of Tyson had different press conferences in the day he went -- to the reporter.
And -- things like you know I'll have sex with you and -- I was screw you rights group guys -- you imprisoned I'll -- you love me when he's watching net ten years later.
Does he think to himself who the hell -- it's.
I hate to see you say that he is -- the third time he saw the movie was its Sundance.
And and we got this huge ovation afterward and now we're at the party.
And I could see he was thinking about something -- in his own space and it's it what is human thinking about he -- I was thinking watching the movie tonight everybody used to say.
That that I was crazy that was scared of me it scared of Mike -- aren't that -- they're talking about why they scare enemies -- watching the movie tonight I was scared of the guys that I was saying.
Interest and -- cause he's traveled to big distances than and I think that I included that press comes to talking about.
-- I wanted to show one -- year.
Vivid manifestation.
Of that Mike Tyson.
Because it was probably the single most extreme flip out other than the end of the Holyfield fight which is -- verbal -- it's physical always trying.
After the -- biting episode to break through a hundred people and get it Holyfield even after the fight is over but that's physical here it's verbal and it's actually -- kind of poetic trash talk.
I mean he really has a -- to that he gets on on a kind of zone.
And you can only imagine this -- shrinking into oblivion as he's -- by the way.
You can barely hear it I did as bad as best they could with the sound the line that he.
Threw out to provoke that and Tyson was you belong in a straitjacket.
And Tyson came back with your mother belongs -- a straight -- -- and then just.
Went on and on.

Diagnostic Tests for Heartburn
BY: Susan Male-Smith
So you think you may have heartburn. Over-the-counter medicines help, but it keeps coming back. You're thinking about consulting your doctor, but you dread the thought of diagnostic tests.
Relax. "Most often, tests aren't needed because doctors typically diagnose heartburn from your symptoms alone or from your response to medication," says Dr. Robert Levinson, chief of gastroenterology at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in New Jersey.
However, if your heartburn doesn't respond to lifestyle modifications or medication, your doctor may want to run some diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis. In addition, if you have chronic heartburn or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), diagnostic tests may be necessary to check for complications, such as esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) or Barrett's esophagus (which can lead to a rare cancer). So if you start hearing technical jargon like "barium swallow" or "endoscopy," don't panic. Here's what to expect:
Barium Swallow
You drink a chalky liquid containing barium, then your torso is X-rayed. The barium allows your doctor to see the insides of your digestive tract. While not a reliable way to diagnose heartburn or GERD, this diagnostic test can help rule out other causes of heartburn-like pain, such as strictures (narrowing of the esophagus), hiatal hernias and ulcers.
Upper Endoscopy (EGD)
Your doctor places a thin, flexible, lighted instrument down your throat to examine your esophagus, stomach and the upper part of your intestines. You'll be sedated during the test but may experience a sore throat afterward. If you've had heartburn for many years or have more immediate danger signals (such as trouble swallowing, chronic hoarseness or coughing), have this diagnostic test done to check for complications, recommends Levinson.
pH Test
Your doctor inserts a long plastic tube through your nose, down your throat and into your stomach. It is left there for 24 hours while it measures how much and how often acid backs up from your stomach into your esophagus. This diagnostic test can help confirm a heartburn diagnosis if you have heartburn symptoms but no evidence of acid reflux.
Esophageal Manometry
Your doctor inserts a tube into your esophagus, which measures the pressure of your lower esophageal sphincter (LES) as it opens and closes. Since the job of the LES is to keep acid inside your stomach, low LES pressure can allow acid to reflux up, causing heartburn.
Bernstein Test (Acid Perfusion Test)
Your doctor inserts a tube through your nose and into your stomach, then drips acid through the tube, followed by saltwater, to see if either one reproduces your heartburn symptoms. This diagnostic test can be helpful in confirming whether acid reflux is the cause of your discomfort.
No one likes undergoing diagnostic tests. Fortunately, heartburn can usually be diagnosed without them. But if you need to confirm a diagnosis or rule out a complication, just remind yourself that a little discomfort now will help you feel better in the long run.

Week{ending} :: True Colors
When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said to one another,
"If Joseph is holding a grudge against us,
he will certainly repay us for all the suffering we caused him."

Lovely... I love colorfulness most of the time in every portion of life. The parrots always make me "ooo" and "aww" when I'm at the zoo. HAVE seen them in Costa Rica NOT in a zoo, but not a frequent occurrence. Joseph's colorful coat got his bros mad b/c he was being treated in a special way ... wonder how many gray, brown or blah-colored birds would be mad at this one. ;)

Press Release
For Immediate Release
August 20, 2012
Wilmington, NC - On Friday, August 10, The Breakfast Club headlined the Downtown Sundown Concert Series along with opening act Teenage Dream, a Katy Perry Tribute. Through the charity wristband program, this concert raised $565 for Cape Fear Birthday Smiles (CFBS). CFBS is helping make birthday celebrations a reality, not a luxury, for families in a variety of circumstances across New Hanover County.
"It was truly a privilege to work with the dedicated, hard-working staff and volunteers at the Downtown Sundown concert. 100% of the proceeds from that evening will go towards the purchase of gifts, party supplies, and disposable cameras. The opportunity to collaborate with WDI and the resulting contribution will allow us to make a bigger impact on the community and to celebrate even more birthdays this upcoming school year," says Shannon Whitaker, co-founder of Cape Fear Birthday Smiles.
The Downtown Sundown Concert Series is coordinated by Wilmington Downtown, Inc. (WDI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the economic growth and development of downtown Wilmington. Wristbands are sold for $1 per person at each concert to those drinking alcohol. The charity wristband program entitles a different organization to half of the proceeds from wristband sales up to $1,000 each week.

What is the best way to stay as dry as possible when walking in the rain?
"The best thing to do is stand straight up and run as fast as you can," advised young Tilman Guenther, a student at Orefield Middle School.
What household ingredients are a safer alternative to kerosene as fuel for fire breathers?
"I thought it would be flour because baker's yeast explodes but it was actually a tie between powdered sugar and baking soda," said Hannah Steele, another student at the school.
Hannah and Tilman were among six "outstanding" Orefield Middle School students honored by Parkland School Board Tuesday night. All six 7th and 8th graders got perfect scores in the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science competition in May at Pennsylvania State University.
The children were introduced to the school board by Dianne Haberstroh, who teaches 7th grade at the middle school. She said all six have an opportunity to change the world.
Haberstroh told the board that getting a perfect score in the competition is rare and difficult.
Some board members gasped in amazement when student Steven Berger explained he did a physics project using a tuning fork in air and water to calculate the speed of sound.
Briana De Selm said she studied the placebo affect of soda on the heart rate and blood pressure of a human.
Anna Li studied the amount of friction created between different types of shoe soles and floor types.
Tilman Guenther experimented to determine "how wet you will get when you run through the rain." He explained: "I built a model and had a small test dummy go through a rain tunnel and I measured how wet it got at different speeds and different postures and developed a formula to find out what speed and what posture is the best if you want to get the least wet in the rain."
Habertsroh got young Tilman to admit to the school board that he borrowed her umbrella when they were attending the competition at Penn State.
Quipped board member Mark Hanichak: "In strikes me that, in the sprit of safety, if these kids continue on with their projects, we should have Hannah the fire breather practicing in close proximity to Tilman the rain tunnel guy."
Avera Perosa, who was not at the board meeting, was the sixth student recognized for her accomplishment in that science competition.
Haberstroh said 3,000 students from across the state participated in the science fair.
Also honored by the board was Parkland High School senior Akil Lewis, who won the Men's Wearhouse Prom Rep Challenge. Using the Internet, he is credited with generating referrals that resulted in 526 tuxedo rentals in his name.
Akil was awarded $58,100 in cash and prizes to be split between himself and Parkland High. The school's $25,000 donation from Men's Wearhouse will go into its Post Prom Party Fund. That party is organized each year from 11:30 p.m. till 5 a.m. at the school to give students a safe and fun place to go after the prom.
Parkland superintendent Richard Sniscak told Akil: "Thank you for being so creative. High school post-prom parents will really appreciate your entrepreneurial spirit."
Added board president Jayne Bartlett: "You left a legacy for us that's going to be enjoyed by your fellow students for many years to come."
A very different honor was announced at the end of the meeting by board member Robert Bold.
Bold announced that long-time board member Roberta Marcus will receive the Pennsylvania School Boards Association's Timothy M. Allwein Advocacy Award.
Marcus said she was absolutely stunned and tremendously humbled by the honor. "It's hard for me to be speechless but I am," she said.
Bold said the award is given to a school board member who does an exemplary job promoting education and helping students by advocating for legislative action.
The late Allwein was a long-time PSBA lobbyist. Marcus, a former PSBA president, worked with him for many years. She said Allwein was a warm and caring person who "always did what was right for public education but, more importantly, what was right for kids."
Marcus has served on Parkland's board since 1995 and is a former board president. She was nominated for the honor by Sniscak and her colleagues on the board.
She will accept the award at PSBA's annual gathering in October.
During the board meeting, assistant superintendent Rodney Troutman gave a detailed presentation highlighting many of the school district's goals for 2012-13.
Those goals were approved by the board with no discussion.

Long Life Flooring
Apr 11th, 2012 by admin
If you prefer installing flooring for a newly constructed residence or for a renovation project, it is highly recommended to consider your requirements to the entirety and selecting for the process helps making the most appropriate selection of the flooring kind, suiting your requirements. If you are the kind of individual just like me who prefers offering that antique look to the living space, it is highly recommended to install hardwood flooring for the residence. If you prefer having a vinyl touch to the living room, it is suggested installing vinyl flooring to the breathing space. Let us for instance, consider a hardwood flooring to be installed, as we prefer and not to deny, hardwood flooring has its own benefits to offer to the end user. Besides being extremely resistant to scratch and other possible damages, hardwood flooring offers the elegance and the most admirable ambiance to the living space. Hardwood flooring can be obtained so genuine and authentic from a flooring store online however identifying the most reliable of the available lot is indeed the toughest task, I wish to stress! In particular, installing hardwood flooring in the living room is highly recommended for the living room serves as the highlight for all those visiting our residence.

She makes generalisations that are not true. She says in one video that in a British dialect you always have to pronounce again as əˈɡeɪn, which is in fact no true. Some people pronounce again as əˈɡeɪn but əˈɡen is also common.

I don't really understand why people feel the need to learn speaking English with a British accent, and from what I understand they usually mean English when they say British. What is wrong with speaking English with a Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, or, God forbid, a German accent? Language is about communicating with others, and as long as you have a good knowledge of vocabulary, have a good grasp of grammar rules to string a few comprehensible sentences together, know enough idioms and collocations to make what you are saying sound more natural, then that's really all what matters. After all, what are the poor devils supposed to do who speak English with an American accent? Or try to convince somebody from Scotland that they need to speak with an English accent. You will soon find out what they are wearing under their kilt when they turn their back on you.
I personally find it rather charming to hear somebody speak English with their native accent. It makes me want to know more about them, where they come from, their culture etc. Isn't that the beauty of the English language that you can make friends with people all over the world, even though you might not be able to understand each other's mother tongue? When a native English speaker gives you stick because of your foreign accent just ask them how many foreign languages they can speak.
Ridiculous even?
She clearly has no idea what she's talking about.
John Wells wrote about her on his blog.
Obviously a member of the Dick Van Dyke School of Authentic English Pronunciation.
Too expensive to me, but it´s interesting.
(Apologies if this is a bit too off-topic...)
Now I do. I sat the CPE in December, just for fun. Well... fun? The fun amounted to 228 euros, but I thought, 'Oh, well, why not?' Anyway, I passed the exam at grade A, 91/100.
Are you going to sit this exam any time soon? If so, here's what I would do. Obviously you should familiarise yourself with test and you should do as many past papers as possible. But you already know that. You may not know that there's a Cambridge Teacher's Handbook - which, by the way, can be accessed by anyone - which has some very useful information about how the examiners grade your papers. For instance, they say that candidates are expected to use either British or American spelling throughout. Either one will do, but if you write 'capitalize', you should also write 'internalize' and so on. And if you write 'internalise' you are expected to write 'colour'.
As for the writing paper, I wouldn't worry too much about the word limit. I had to write a propasal and an essay, both of which ended up being way too long, and when I say 'too long' I really mean it. I exceeded the word limit big time, but I wasn't marked down... or so it seems. Lastly, try to get a good night's rest. It's a long exam - about 6 hours if I remember correctly - and I was pretty tired by the end of the day. The listening paper came last and too be honest it was quite difficult to keep my head straight.
Just FYI, they have altered the CPE exam format since 2013, so be reasonable in using past papers.
Chicken Sandwich, congratulations! :up:
I definitely think there's a link between language and music. All the members of my family who are linguistically talented are also quite musical. On my mother's side of the family, there was only one exception - my maternal grandmother who could never master even the most basic individual words or phrases in any foreign language, and was also genuinely tone deaf.
My grandfather spoke a dozen languages and was a very proficient pianist, clarinet player and singer. My mother and her two sisters speak a variety of foreign languages and all either play(ed) or sing/sang well.
I speak pretty good French, school German, a little Italian and understand if not speak a lot of Spanish. I play the guitar, piano, flute and sing.
I'm pretty sure there's a connection!


text: Home Culture 'Single Ladies' Season 2, Episode 6 Recap April baby-sits an R&B egomaniac. Raquel robs the cradle. And Keisha gets cut off from Malcolm. By: Erin E. Evans Posted: July 3 2012 11:06 AM 0 VH1 (The Root) -- Last night's Single Ladies episode, "Deuces," opens up at Raquel's boutique, Indulgence, as April brings in 2012's bad boy of R&B, Bobby Mornay (Tony Rock), who looks like a Bobby Brown knockoff, or even a K-Ci Hailey from his Jodeci days. April's baby-sitting him for the next few days to ensure that he shows up at a club she promotes. She's about business only -- helping him find a few new outfits in hopes that his appearance will guarantee her a regular Thursday-night gig at a hot local club. While Bobby's trying on clothes, Raquel goes next door to hush her new neighbor. She meets Scotty (Romeo Miller), who's the barely 20-year-old owner of a skateboarding shop. He gets really flirty with Raquel. (Cue Beyoncé! He may be young, but he's ready!) And she manages to bust her butt on a skateboard while trying to prove that she's not just a girl who likes to wear silk and stilettos. Malcolm meets Keisha at the shop after she called and said she needed a favor. To verify that he paid off Luke (Clifford "T.I." Harris) for her Aston Martin, she makes up a lie, saying that she needed money to win back her car. She thanks him again for stepping in to save her, and they trade a few long, lusty looks before they hug goodbye. Shelley (Lauren London) also stops by to pick up a few things for her wannabe politician boo. Then things get a little juicy and drama-filled as she tells Keisha that Malcolm's new boo, Taylor, and her family are nearly broke. Taylor's in the process of planning a winter wedding so that she can latch onto his money and help rescue the family. While all this goes down, Bobby slips out the back door -- with thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise on him. It's day 1, and April's already slacking! April finds Bobby the next morning in the boutique. (Apparently bad boys get hungry in the middle of trying on clothes.) She chastises him and seems fed up, but she also knows how important he is to making April Goldberg Entertainment a success. Keisha's getting her business in order, too. Her boss buys her a billboard -- er, a bench in front of one of their properties -- and plasters her face on it to help get more real estate clients. Unfortunately, it leads to her receiving several R-rated phone calls from prospective clients who have other "business" they'd like to handle with Ms. Green. Back at the boutique, Raquel confronts Shelley about a sex tape again. She promises Raquel that she'll track down the man she made the sex tape with, hoping to resolve the issue sooner rather than later. Scotty comes over to give Raquel some mail that ended up at his store. He lays down his mack again and asks her out for a pretzel. And surprisingly, Raquel takes the bait. "Does Malcolm know your family is broke?" Keisha asks Taylor, who has shown up to the boutique to buy a few cocktail dresses. Stunned that Keisha knew of her family business, Taylor walks out of the boutique with the stank face. While on their way to sound check, Bobby makes a stop at his hotel because he left his cellphone in his room. After tearing up the hotel room, he finds the phone -- and his girlfriend discovers him and April in there, too. ("Looks like she's your jump-off and you didn't expect me to be here. I know what kind of woman handles her profession in the bedroom," she says.) When it seems like April will have no choice but to put up her dukes, Bobby makes up a lie and says that April is a masseuse, there to surprise his girl with a foot massage. Awkward! Raquel has her date with Scotty, and instead of pretzels, he cooks up a vegan meal for two, and she's pleasantly shocked by his maturity. But Keisha busts up their date right in the middle of their first kiss, and Raquel quickly ushers him out the door. The next morning, the ladies have a powwow about Raquel and her young tenderoni. April and Keisha give Raquel a hard time for robbing the cradle. But after hearing the pros and cons, she decides that she's going to date him anyway. YOLO, right?

New Day by Janelle
style: pop / contemporary praise
interesting facts: Janelle was the theme song singer at World Youth Day Canada '02 . Her husband Jason heads Life Vision Communications. Janelle and Jason are also featured in RoL's How We Met section!
my two cents: Excellent singing, lyrics, and production. Catholic musicians are still trying to "make it" into the mainstream of Christian music but Janelle came out punching with incredible production. Her music is as good, if not better, than top Christian music artists. She is also an incredible woman of God and she and her husband are two awesome Catholics working to spread the Kingdom! I recommend you get to know them better!

No Harden Heart by Dawn VanName
Style: Acoustic Country/Rock
interesting fact: Starting at the age of 12, Dawn has 25 years experience of singing, playing guitar and writing songs. She has worked as a drug and alcohol counselor and a social worker but her greatest achievement is being a mom of five "fantastic kids". (See Dawn's autobio.)
my two cents: When I read that this CD was labeled as Acoustic Country Rock I didn't think I would care for it very much. However, after a few listens to the CD, it really grew on me. The base may be country but it also contains other musical flavorings making it more adaptable to a wider audience. Plus, the uplifting lyrics can't help but put a smile on my face. All in all, a good job!

Arms of Love CD Single by Mark Mallett with Lea Mallett
style: Country/Adult Contemporary
interesting fact: Mark Mallett is a (Catholic) Christian music artist and this CD single is an excellent intro to his ability and talent as an artist. The disc has three songs "Arms of Love" which is based on the novel Arms of Love by Carmen Marcoux. The lyrics reflect the inner struggle and ultimate commitment to chastity between the two main characters. The disc also includes the title tracks from Marks' first two albums "Deliver Me from Me" and "Love Holds On".
my two cents: I have been inspired by Mark's tremendous faith and trust in God. It is not easy for a Catholic man to support a wife and 6 children working in an apostolate, but Mark and his family have been obedient and trusting in whatever God has asked of them. I'm sure you'll be hearing more about Mark soon!

O Night Divine by Cousins in Christ
I received this CD in the mail and I was anticipating a satisfactory version of various Christmas songs sung by Catholic youth. I received much more than that! The opening track O Come O Come Emmanuel immediately made me sit up and take notice.
The Catholic music group "Cousins in Christ" is composed of family members John Paul Rudolph (20), Rebecca Meyer (19), Matthew Rudolph (18), Katie Meyer (17), and Stephanie Meyer (15). The group, along with narrator David Rudolph (16), has created a moving collection of timeless Christmas classics.
The arrangements of the songs range from sweeping chorus and various instrumentation to a simple piano and the solo voice of John Paul in O Holy Night, my personal favorite. Regardless, the talent of the Cousins is richly displayed and a joy to listen to.
When you consider the young age the artists and the independent label of the CD, this is a truly quite an accomplishment and the disc itself is of fair greater quality than other indie productions we've received. I highly recommend this CD as an addition to your holiday collection. It has certainly become a favorite of mine! Kudos to the Cousins!
Songs on the disc include: O Come O Come Emmanuel, Joy to the World, O Holy Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, Gesu Bambino, What Child Is This, Ave Maria, Away in A Manger, Lullay Thou Little Tiny Child and Dona Nobis Pacem.
O Night Divine can be purchased at Amazon.com or directly from the Cousins at www.roseofsharonmedia.com.

Tiny Hands, Precious Feet by Rose Maria Rudolph & Family
style: Baby's First Lullabies
interesting fact: From their website I read, "Rose Marie spent several years contemplating the words of Humanae Vitae and Familiaris Consortio, which encourage the foundation of the family and the sanctity of life. She wished to put the beautiful words and teachings of these encyclicals to music, but remained uninspired. After twenty years of marriage and six bouncing baby boys, Rose Marie faced hospitalization following a difficult hysterectomy. While recovering, she found herself comforting a woman in the bed next to her, who had recently undergone an abortion. This woman's grief and repentance suddenly revealed to Rose Marie the music she had been hoping to write. 'Our Catholic faith is a gift,' she says, 'It is a blueprint for life, a blueprint for happiness.' To her, it was as if God had closed one door, but opened several windows. She lost the dream of having more children, but out of this was born the original work, We Give Our Lives to You (One More Soul)." It is amazing how God can use one soul to touch many others.
my two cents: This is not a glossy studio project. Rose Marie and family aren't stars but they're the friends you'd sit beside at church or see at the grocery store. I especially enjoyed the fact that their CD was a family affair. Rose's husband Steve sings one of the tracks and there are children's voices throughout - from the prayer narrations at the beginning of songs to the added song vocals. (If I could change one thing, I'd add a lyric sheet.) The second half of the CD contains instrumental tracks of each song, perfect for moms who want to sing the songs themselves or just have some instrumental background music.

Well I am going to pick up here where my SDMZ 2.0 Log left off as it will be all FRL for the rest of the cycle.
Time to put IronMagLabs Super DMZ 2.0 to the test!(Sponsered Log)
Cycle Outline
This is a 10 week cycle, which was kicked off by IML's SDMZ 2.0 for the first 4 weeks at 2 caps per day. After the first 2 weeks I began my bridge over to Alpha Mass and Alpha Bulk at 6 caps each per day. My SDMZ 2.0 is now complete and this marks week 3 of Mass/Bulk, I have now increased Mass to 8 caps per day and Bulk remains at 6 caps per day. I plan to continue tapering up the Alpha Mass dose every 2 weeks, and keep Alpha Bulk at 6 caps for the cycle. At the start of week 7 I will be adding in 5-alpha Test at the recommend dosage for the remaining 4 weeks of cycle
Alpha Mass- 0/ 0/ 6/ 6/ 8/ 8/10/10/12/12
Alpha Bulk- 0/ 0/ 6/ 6/ 6/ 6/ 6/ 6/ 6/ 6
5-Alpha Test-0/ 0/ 0/ 0/ 0/ 0/ 3/ 3/ 3/ 3
Beginning Wt: 208 lbs
Current Wt: 219 lbs
So far the gains have been great with a minimum amount of sides, weight is up 11 lbs and strength has been steadily increasing in all exercises. At the beginning of this cycle, I transitioned from a high rep/high volume routine to a full body routine focusing on increasing mass and strength. The main workout I was focused on increasing was Incline DB press, my first workout was sets of 10 with 90's, my final workout yesterday was a set of 8 with 110's, my goal was a set of 10 with the 110's. Almost there! It has been a fun ride so far, but now it's time to go full Alpha!

Meet the women
Here are the stories of a some of the women who have come to Sammunat and work with A Colourful Journey. Please note that the names have been altered.
As is the tradition in Nepal, Sapana is living in her husband's family's home with him and her two young children. Her husband is an injecting drug user with HIV who regularly beats her and threatens the children with physical violence. After many attempts to make her marriage work she is now seeking to divorce her husband so she and her children can live without violence.
Sapana is forced to live with his family while this process continues and they are now abusing her psychologically. Her children have had to be withdrawn from school as she can no longer afford the fees and her husband will not pay. Her children are suffering dreadfully as a result. She has done some skills training at Sammunat and earns a small income making the products advertised on our Products page. Sapana particularly loves making the scarves. She is about to lodge her divorce papers.
Birkha Kumari
Birka Kumari is a 58 year old woman who was violently stabbed by her husband when he attempted to murder her. She required extensive medical treatment and seeks justice and compensation from him. Her adult children are now more supportive of her following counselling and guidance from Sammunat legal advisor and she is living with her daughter. Her husband has now been sentenced but continues to threaten revenge. She continues to seek compensation and divorce.
Saroswati (10 years)
Saroswati's father, a single parent, worked for a highly respected community member as a bonded labourer. She was raped by her father's employer and for a long time her family said nothing for fear of the repercussions. Eventually, in a highly distressed state and with fears for his family, her father approached Sammunat for assistance with moving Saroswati and his other children to a safe environment and with helping him bring his employer to justice. Following Sammunat's involvement, Saroswati and her siblings are safe, she is now back at school and slowly recovering from her trauma. A hearing is planned to sentence the man who raped her.
Sani was unable to find work and entered into a relationship with a married man who convinced her he was able to give her work in office/advocacy in return for sex. Eventually Sani regretted being in this relationship and wanted to leave but he threatened her with publicizing photos he had taken of them. She was referred by the police to Sammunat where she was encouraged to go through with plans to leave him and assured of support and assistance. A meeting between husband, his wife and Sani was arranged and an agreement made. Sani agreed not to have more dealings with him and he agreed to hand over the photos. All signed an agreement paper kept by Sammunat. Photos are destroyed. Sani is now working in a Communication Office and often talks with other young women in similar situations to encourage them that they do not have to be blackmailed.

A year ago he stepped down as the political leader of Tibet's government in exile to devote himself to spreading a spiritual message of compassion and peace. Still, he's been drawn into talking about violence since a wave of deadly protests swept through the Tibetan areas of China.
