Colleagues, Robert got this just right (except the spontaneously ionizing bit :), and what follows are some amplifications that (I hope) will relate to the situations of some potential users who may read this list.

Since the nodes pretty much run > out of ramdisk after boot, they don't need room on any local disk. A number of people have asked us about the 'footprint' of Scyld Beowulf. Our distribution expects to find two things on every node: a tiny ramdisk root filesystem and a collection of cached libraries. We currently cache about 35 megabytes of libraries on the clients and the tiny root filesystem is on the order of a megabyte. The library cache may be installed in either a ramdisk or on a hard disk. The library cache is what allows us to keep bproc_move calls fast. BProc won't waste time or bandwidth transferring mmaped() copies of libraries along with a process unless that (version of) that library is not cached on the nodes. > So you don't have to do much of anything to try it out, provided that > you've got a tiny bit of free space on a "master" node somewhere. If > you don't like it, just put lilo back the way it was and delete it. You can even do one better. Right now, I'm running a copy of VMware on my laptop -- this VMware instance is connected up to my laptop (which is running Scyld Beowulf) as a slave node! Obviously, this setup is tailored more for debugging than for high performance. In a similar way, you can run a Scyld Beowulf frontend load inside VMware.

My Profile
Jon B
Songwriter, producer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Jon B. brought a distinctive focus on smooth melodies to contemporary R&B. Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and raised in Pasadena, California, Jon B. (short for Jonathan Buck) was the son of a professor of music and a concert pianist. Influenced by music found in his grandparents' record store, he began combining the spirit of '70s soul with hip-hop-inspired productions on his 1995 debut album, Bonafide. It peaked on Billboard's R&B Albums chart at number 24, led by the Top Ten R&B single "Someone to Love," a duet with prime influence Babyface, and went gold. His second album, 1997's Cool Relax, continued the emphasis on hip-hop soul and featured two of his biggest singles in "They Don't Know" and the 2Pac-assisted "Are U Still Down." As a result, the set sold over a million copies, thus earning it platinum certification. During the following decade, Jon B. released three more albums -- Pleasures U Like (2001), Stronger Everyday (2004), and Helpless Romantic (2008) -- that, at worst, narrowly missed the R&B Top Ten. In 2011, the singer returned with Comfortable Swagg; an appearance from DJ Quik was payback for several contributions to Quik's The Book of David, released earlier in the year. Also an accomplished songwriter for other artists, he penned material for the likes of Maxi Priest, For Real, After 7, Spice Girls, Az Yet, and Toni Braxton. ~ Kim Summers & Andy Kellman, Rovi

This freaked me out! This isn't fake. Apparently if you copy and post this on ten comments you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out. If you break the chain you will see a dead girl in your room tonight. In the nest 53 minutes someone will say I love you or I'm sorry.
I love They Don't Know by Jon B and I wish that artists could go back to making this type of r&b music. Everytime I hear this song I just want to go and watch the prom episode of Sister Sister, because he was on that episode sing this same song.
I love this song! John B you rock!
Need more men like him, rare beings such as Jon are truly missed....

TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2013 /CNW/ - The Honourable Bal Gosal, Minister of State (Sport), today announced funding for Wheelchair Basketball Canada at the launch of its new Wheelchair Basketball Canada Academy at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus.
"Canada is recognized as a leader in wheelchair basketball, and our Government is proud to support Wheelchair Basketball Canada so that our men can defend the gold medal they won in London and we can get our women back on the podium," said Minister of State Gosal. "The new Wheelchair Basketball Canada Academy will help the next generation of Canadian wheelchair basketball athletes achieve world-class results."
"Canada's senior national teams have captured a combined six gold, one silver, and one bronze medal in the last six Paralympic Games," said Wendy Gittens, Executive Director of Wheelchair Basketball Canada. "Now, thanks to the ongoing support of the Government of Canada and all our partners, we are entering into a new era in wheelchair basketball, in which our elite athletes will be better poised than ever to continue propelling Canada to the top of the podium."
The Wheelchair Basketball Canada Academy, the first of its kind in Canadian Paralympic sport, was developed in partnership with the Government of Canada, Own the Podium, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, the University of Toronto, the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario, and Wheelchair Basketball Canada.
The Government of Canada committed $1.9 million in 2013-14 to Wheelchair Basketball Canada through the Sport Support Program, including $210,000 for the Academy. Sport Canada's Athlete Assistance Program also provided approximately $543,000 to support 44 Canadian field wheelchair basketball athletes with living and training expenses in 2012-13.

The Bolshevik chose Hagel. Hagel faithfully represents the soul and policies of the worst president in the history of the United States of America.
Lots of Dem Senators in RED states up for re-election in 2014. They need to think long and hard about their vote on the SOD.
The Chuck "USA is the world´s bully" Hagel appointment says more about the goofball appointing him than it does about Hagel. Just like the Van Jones appointment, the Kagan appointment and all the rest. President Decline is very, very busy...
The Nebraska voters figured out that Hagel was a pretend Republican years ago and dumped him. They say that when he visited Nebraska he talked like a Republican, but while in Washington, DC, he was a Democrat.
Hagel represents everything wrong about D.C. He should have run as a Democrat when he was in the Senate because that is what he is. But he didn´t have the courage to do that so he pretended to Nebraska that he was GOP. Hagel is nothing but a fascist who likes to bash Bush, the GOP, and Israel and is beloved by Iran and al-Jazeera and Obama. Vote NO on Hagel.
Hagel never had any credibility to begin with so there was nothing to shred. He shredded himself in the past and the hearing confirmed what everyone knew.
The man is a fool.
Call your Senators, if you haven´t. I know Burr will oppose, and I´m working on Hagen.
The sad thing is, I still expect him to get enough Democrat votes to get the confirmation. Incompetence and outright stupidity still don´t trump the Democrat party.
Is it just me, or did Hagel mostly try to sell his book during the hearings? He is a Dolt and should be voted DOWN!
pineledge, you may have a problem finding Hagen--it´s spelled Hagan
The Occupior of The Oval Office is packing the Cabinet with Toadies. He sees himself as The One to Rule. Once all Top Appoinments are made and irreversible he will schedule his Coronation.
FTA: "But today's disappointing show by Hagel shamed not just Democrats but a nation whose defense is being entrusted to an incompetent liar."So we would be OK with a competent liar? Like with the Sec of State (Clinton or Kerry - your pick)?
Obama doesn´t care. Obama probably is not that well acquainted with Hagel. Obama doesn´t know anyone qualified for the job, only Democrats and America-haters.
He is not only misguided, an apologist for America, a vicious critic of Israel, detests the Jews in Nebraska...but also just one of the stupidest members of the Congress,with positions woefully out of the mainstream, with no executive experience to lead an organization of over 1 million employees..the only qualification he has for SecDef is that he shares many of the POTUS beliefs about emasculating US foreign policy
I beg to differ....it would be difficult to determine the STUPIDEST member of congress
But once he is confirmed, he assures us he will learn more about the military.God Bless our MILITARY HEROES!They need God´s blessing everyday, but they will need more of it if this asshat is confirmed.
My complaint...former Senator Hagel is left in shreds by his Republican fraternity brothers yet two of America´s most notorious card carrying Dark Siders, Madame Hillary and Liveshot, are given a complete pass! We are indeed living in bizarre times!
Hagel gets barbecued while a proven traitor gets an almost unanimous approval for SecState. Where´s the fairness? Where is any sense of honor in this government?
So far only one US Embassy bombed this morning.But it´s early yet.
Sen. McCain asked former Sen. Hagel if he now thinks he was wrong about the surge. IOW, he tried to give Hagel a chance to praise the U.S. military´s role in Iraq. Hagel wouldn´t admit he was wrong!This guy wants to be Sec. of Defense? Unbelievable.
FTA: "But today's disappointing show by Hagel shamed not just Democrats but a nation whose defense is being entrusted to an incompetent liar."Is he talking about Hagel or 0bama or both?
Just sent my no requests to Udall and Bennett, which, over the past few years, is an exercise in futility. Going to their sites is depressing. They trumpet one stupid liberal idea after another. Paycheck fairness, wind power, clean water, all sound good on paper, but a job killers.
imagine this: John Kerry @ State, Chuck Hagel @ Defense.Astounding.
what IS the difference between hagel and kerry? Here in ma, kerry made it clear that our evil ways came home to roose on 9/11 and has attacked the USA since his first appearance testifying on the hill. Hagel is another enemy of the USA. And it is obvious that the people in congress share these men´s attitude towards the USA, along with our present potus. So, if the people of the USA are happy with high unemployment, high debt, losing their homes, having our people slaughtered in far away places and doing nothing about it....doesn´t it follow that these two creatures are just right for the jobs they have been nominated for?
Amen #25. However I still believe that Hagel is a stalking horse in our puppet presidency. If he fails, an even worse (but female and/or black) substitute will be nominated. If he wins, he will take all orders from ValJar. End of story. We, unfortunately, are cooked.Has anyone heard from the Romney family?
Hagel, Menendez, Edwards....Congress is loaded with crooks.
On the basis of the clips from his Senate hearing...The only thing to be said is the Yutz in the Oval Orifice has chose his Court Jester well. Hagel will not disappoint.
Obama´s approach to selecting members of his administration is often seen in the business world: the boss who is so insecure he only hires unimpressive underlings so that no one can outshine him. It´s a recipe for disaster when ´the boss´ is as highly incompetent and inexperienced as Obama is. He really has to scrape bottom to find people with even less ability.
I can´t get past that ´deer in the headlights´ look on his face.
I believe Obama prefers his minions to be meek, mild and willing to follow and do whatever he wants. His choices and appointments over the past four years have been bizarre and puzzling, in most cases.
My Senator Cruz led the barbeque.
it may be really stupid of me but i dont think he will get confirmed
Please don´t link him to Nebraska because as soon as he was elected to the senate, he moved his family to the east coast and never came back. Sorry to say that I voted for him and he turned his back on conservative principles which is why we voted him out.
Exactly Posters # 25 and 30.Is Hagel getting grilled becuase he is no longer in the good ol boys club while Kerry oozes on through?As for Hagel´s experience in Vietnam and his opinion of the Iraq War, if I could have been a senator yesterday, I would have asked him: So did you support thereason were in Vietnam but not the lack of political will and do yo believe the same about Iraq? And just when and under what conditions would you send troops into harm´s way?
What an utterly pathetic performance.We talk about LoFo voters. It´s worse than that: we really have LoFo cabinet members now. And Hagel is the poster boy.
ValJar and Soros chose him.
Hagel is a shoo in for SEC DEF. He is the perfect candidate for the all the democrats trying their best to knock the U.S. down a rung or two. The dems and the media can beat him up for being an evil republican all the while enjoying the fruits of his labors.
You can see how this guy fits right in with the Obama group.No surprise there!
We´ve got to confirm him to find out what´s inside him.
I served with Hagel on a non-profit advisory board in Omaha during the mid 90s. I remember being amazed at his enormous ego and abject stupidity. He is without question the walking definition of an empty suit. And thus a perfect fit in the Obama cabinet.
It´s a coin flip whether Chuck Hagel is John Kerry lite or the reverse. Either way they are both Obama sycophants who are right at home in the D.C. animal house, one in the r(h)ino pen and the other in with the asses and donkeys.In my worst nightmares I never dreamed of this country disintegrating like it has in the past ten years. I pray we haven´t reached the point where the only way to eliminate the parasites is for the host to die.If we survive long enough for history to be written, obama will be remembered as the scoundrel who reversed most of the civil rights from Lincoln to the present day and betrayed all the people he fraudulently adopted (the only thing black about obama is his heart) for his own nefarious reasons. He should be tried and convicted of treason and dealt with accordingly!
Hagel hates America just like Monsewer Jean Fraud Cair-ree and the boss, Blessed Hussein Obama.This fool has a right to be part of a cabinet of fools put together by the Marxist cadre at the heart of the Beast- the aim of which is to destroy our country.It is fitting that Obama selects such dim bulbs to do his dirty work.A real man could not stand it.
Here´s my personal theory on RINOs. By nature, politicians have huge egos. Republicans elected to congress quickly discover that the best (only) way to get face time on the evening news and talking head shows is to buck their own party. There´s nothing more beloved by the media than a Republican turncoat. So it´s not so much that a RINO is a closet liberal as it is he will say and do anything to feed his massive ego.
We have no leadership. And those who pretend to lead are bereft of honor.
Obama was looking to install a compliant flunky over at Defense to continue his work, and I think he found him.
I wouldn´t be surprised if the people pulling the strings in the WH expect Hagel to go down in defeat so they can bring someone up they really want preferably a woman.
I can´t believe that everyone has missed the point. Obama elected him because he knew he would be an fail.(The useful idiot).1. He is a Republican.2. Obama wants to destroy the republicans.3. And Hagel put the icing on the cake.
Obama and Hagel on NBC Nightly NewsBRIAN WILLIAMS: Tonight I interview Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel and President Obama.[turns to monitor]Uh, you're smoking, Mr. President? Didn't you quit?OBAMA: Backslid after watching Hagel yesterday, Stevo. And it´s grass not a cigarette--special blend called ´´mariguana´´ because it's grown in female bat dung. I told you it was a ´´joint´´ interview. ? Fly me to the moon . . . .?HAGEL: That's the weed talking, Brian. I'll kick his butt when he gets unfocused.WILLIAMS: Why do this interview, sir?OBAMA: People feel better about me when I appear next to dunderheads, Brian. And I wanted to thank Chuck publicly for distracting everyone from today's miserable economic numbers.HAGEL: Glad to help, sir.WILLIAMS: Why did you choose Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense, sir?OBAMA: Reid wanted a doormat in the post; promised that if I picked Hagel, the Senate wouldn't submit a budget for another four years.WILLIAMS: Senator, why did you accept the offer?HAGEL: I've been playing ''Call of Duty" on Xbox since it first came out, Brian. It's time to get real.WILLIAMS: Sir, if Senator Hagel is confirmed, will you send him to Russia to talk disarmament?OBAMA: Absolutely. Can you think of anyone better than Chuck to give away the store?HAGEL: I can work with Putin, Brian. As Reagan said, ''Trust, don't vilify.''
The portions of the testimony which I saw were downright frightening. I wouldn´t put this doofus in charge of weeding my garden, much less protecting it from invaders.This is a new low for Fauxbama and for his LSM enablers.
Chuck Hagel has those ´´martini bags´´ under his eyes all the time. He is a first class doofus.
Poooor Li´l Chuckie...He couldn´t decipher his own crib notes...which he had with him at the hearing...they consisted of the used toilet tissues from the last time Chuckie axs-sistedhis mentor, George Soros, with personal hygiene after a chili dinner.It happens.And it´s why his nomination reeks to Allah.May his nomination soon meet 72 virgins... DOA...
I think 52 hit the nail on the head. If you´ve ever been around drunks they don´t look so good sober and they frequently are incoherent. Hagel had those characteristics in his presentation. Only his family and close friends will know if he has a drinking problem but he sure looked like it to me.
The only hope for stopping Hagel lies with the 55 Democrat Senators.They have enough votes to confirm himwhile still allowing four Red State Senators a No votefor cover .Manchin was so effusive in his praise that he actually expressed his longing desire to servein a foxhole with Hagel.It is jaw dropping that the Commander in Chiefposed for a woman´s fashion magazine on the day his nomineefor Secretary of Defense behaved like an anti American , Anti-Semitic Alzheimer´s patientduring his confirmation hearings.It is an insult and outrage to the militaryand the families of the 1811 Americans who have diedin combatthe past four years in Iraq and Afghanistan -to consider Hagel a fit candidate for SecDef.Only the 45 Senate Republicans recognize this .
What a train wreck. Saw "highlights" on Hannity. Maybe Van Jones can be readied on the sidelines.
It´s my opinion that if Obama had to sit and answer questions like Hagel did, he´d do just as poorly as Hagel.
I understand that Hagel fought in Viet Nam. Which side was he on?
I have to agree with #26, Hagel is the omen of something much worse to come.
Hagel was his usual self, uninformed, incoherent, helplessly mired in his own idiocy, and looking very much like he could use another gallon of cheap bourbon.
For this joker Hagel to call the Iranian gov. legitimate, is the same as Pres. Ford saying the Poles didn´t think they where under Soviet rule! It´s silly, out of touch and stupid!
They need to confirm this idiot and state if this is what the President wants this is what he should have. Obama´s SOS is just going to follow his bidding, get this idiot confirmed. At this point what difference does it make anyway?
Hagel ? Kerry ? Hildebeast? Susan Rice? Jay Carney? Joe Biden? Barry Soetoro?Have we all lost our minds? Died and gone to hell? Entered Bizarro world?GOD help us all here in the DSA! (Divided States of America!)
And what was all that about one of his sons taking a test which he said he was going to confirm? Was that supposed to be funny? It was awful.
Credibility in shreds? He´ll be a perfect fit for the obama crowd.
Agree #57, but Mr. Obama would likely be smooth and armed with hisflash smile..a schtic that has taken him far..

354,000 Reasons to Take Advantage of Direct Response Radio Advertising
We dig TV advertising as much as the next guy. But geez...
The average 30-second TV ad rose 9% to $354,000, reports Response Magazine. That's before media costs. And before knowing if the ad will work - and, if so, how well.
Can you imagine paying that much money for a TV ad...before you even know that it'll work - that it'll grow your business profitably?
Neither can we. Yet it happens all the time. That's the world of "brand advertising." Our hats are off to the brand advertising agencies that somehow are able to sell their clients on spending tons of money to create ads without being accountable for any sort of measurable results. Clearly the best sales pitch is happening in the room when that decision happens. Of course, that's not necessarily true of the ads that get created afterwards.
To put this in context, consider the following. Production costs for a radio ad are rarely more than $1,000. Further, we can test multiple ads (messages) across multiple audiences and yield the optimal message/targeting combination...for less than $30,000. That includes all ad development costs and media dollars.
And we put our money where our mouth is: if, after testing, we haven't created a profitable advertising campaign for our clients, we've lost money alongside them. That's a risk that most (if not all) TV agencies are simply not willing to take.
What this means is that for less than $30k, you've got a nationwide radio advertising campaign that is ready to start delivering a large number of profitable new customers to your door (or website) - in a demonstrably measurable way, week-in and week-out, for years to come. And it'll build your brand in the most powerful and lasting way - by directly driving customer engagement with the brand.
But if you prefer, we can create one heck of an out-of-the-box radio ad and charge you, say, $100,000 for it. We'll come to your offices and pitch you on how awesome it'll be and how much we think your customers will love it. Then we'll all go out and party together and have a great time. And when we air the campaign we won't measure results, so your boss and/or shareholders won't be able to prove that your decision was a poor one!
Or, you could give accountable radio advertising a try. You could have an expert team create the right message and target the right customers for your business. Then you could see just how well radio works for you, and save that $354,000 for a down payment on a corporate jet.

How Smartphones are Boosting Direct Response Radio Results
Smartphones are everywhere, yet none to date have a radio receiver embedded in them. This has led some to assert that radio is a thing of the past. Yet, once again radio is proving remarkably adaptable and resilient.
Terrestrial (traditional) radio has not only endured but thrived for over 100 years, even through the arrival of television, the personal computer and the internet. Today, 92% of the U.S. population over twelve listens to radio every week (Arbitron Radio Today 2012). And with the growing use of smartphones, terrestrial, streaming and satellite radio are poised to become more ubiquitous and therefore an even more powerful customer acquisition tool for direct response radio advertisers.
Advertisers in any medium are challenged to prevail over the distractions consumers face. Smartphones are making it easier for radio advertisers to cut through these distractions. In fact, thanks to smartphone technology, never in the history of direct response radio advertising has it been easier for listeners to respond to your ad. Long gone are the days when a phone number is hastily written down on dirty napkin in the car with the hope it might find it's way into the listener's home.
Now when you persuade the listener to engage, voice recognition like Siri and Dragon Dictation make it more convenient than ever to capture critical information like phone numbers and URLs. If you're running a great promotion and are relying on codes for tracking purposes, accessing the internet via your smartphone makes it quicker and smoother than ever for your customers to participate. When your radio ad does what it can and should do - stimulate, entice and inspire customers to respond - smartphones help advertisers close the attention gap, and more importantly, drive response and close a sale.
It's easy to see how smartphones are helping direct response radio advertisers, but why isn't AM/FM radio a feature of your phone? We recently pointed out in our radio advertising article for Electronic Retailer Magazine, penetration of smartphones in the United States passed 50 percent in 2012 and none of them offered terrestrial radio. This will soon change. Sprint's recent press release disclosed Android and Windows phone devices will come equipped with NextRadio FM tuners.
By the end of 2013, 80% of the world's population will be using a mobile phone. Add to this that in 2012 Neilson Mobile Insights' reported that smartphones account for 50% of all mobile phones in the U.S. By 2016, less than three years away, smartphones will account for close to 70% of all cell phone sales world-wide. Now that traditional radio will join streaming radio options such as Pandora and Spotify on your smartphone, there has never been a better time to take advantage of direct response radio advertising.

This One Thing Costs Radio Advertisers Their Success
What is the one thing that most surely costs radio advertisers their success? In a word: complexity.
"Simplicity does not mean removing features, benefits, or services from your product. It means distilling what's most important about those features, and explaining them in the fewest words possible."
The quote above is from an article by Jeff Hoffman over at Inc Magazine. His article brings to light how and why this notion of simplicity applies beyond the radio advertising world to all businesses. In his article he points out that "your customers are constantly being bombarded with new information." This has always felt like a very true statement - because it has been true for so long, probably since the printing press was invented. But today we have multiples more opportunities to ingest information and the acceleration of "information proliferation" hasn't shown signs of slowing down.
At times while reading Mr. Hoffman's article I felt like he was writing the job description of a direct response radio advertising copywriter. Here is one example:
"One of the most valuable skills in the world is the ability to explain complex concepts in simple, easy-to-understand terms. Writing lots of words is easy. Making your point with an absolute minimum number of words is really hard. Yet it is so much more effective."
As most readers of this blog by now know, we write and produce 60 and 30 second radio ads for direct response radio advertising campaigns. So, basically, we're held accountable for generating profitable sales for our clients in just 30 or 60 seconds of audio. It's high-stakes audio persuasion.
"Imagine you had a quick minute to tell a potential customer why he should do business with you. Because in today's world, that's all you have anyway."
We've actually tested - live and on the air - different ads for the same product, but one with more details than another. What have we found? Complexity kills response. We have our theories on why, but the bottom line is clear consistent: to grow your profits using direct response radio advertising - keep it simple.

Radio Advertising Costs in Perspective
The cost of radio advertising is one of the topics we get the most questions about. On the surface it seems like a simple question: "How much does it cost to advertise on the radio?" However, it's actually a difficult question to answer. Here's why: it's the wrong question. Let me explain.
First of all, there are as many different answers to that question as there are days, dayparts and radio stations in the country (that's days times dayparts times radio stations - so there are tens of thousands of possible answers). Each media buy is different, based on multiple factors including the size of the station audience as well as the supply and demand for each day, daypart and station.
So, one way to answer the question of radio ad rates is to tell you how much it costs to air one spot on a particular radio station in, say, Los Angeles, on a Tuesday at between 9am and 3pm. But the radio ad costs on that radio station would be vastly different - much more - than advertising on a station in Austin, Texas or Buffalo, New York.
And that's just for one airing of one radio spot. How many radio airings of your radio ad would you like? Over what period of time?
By now you can see that there are number of factors that go into answering the question of how much it costs to advertise on the radio. From a very simple perspective, these inputs need to be provided before an answer can be given.
However for direct response radio advertising, we take a different perspective from even this. We look at advertising cost more like an investment- that is not some marketing-sales-speak. We look at it that way because in direct response radio advertising, that "cost" is accountable for a return, or an ROI (return on investment). For example, if a client invests $10,000 in radio advertising over a one week period of time, that $10,000 is accountable for a return on that investment that meets or exceeds the clients' profitability hurdle. This is measured in new customers generated, a cost per lead metric, orders, or revenues.
So, when someone asks "how much does it cost to advertise on the radio?" or, "how much will my radio commercial cost?" we could say it depends on how many leads you want to generate, how much revenue you want to generate, etc. We would arrive at a radio advertising spend (investment) based on the kind of business results you want to see. And that's why we LOVE direct response radio advertising so much!

The Truth About Radio Advertising Awards
Larry Julius over at Portland Radio Group recently penned a blog post about the 2012 Radio Mercury Awards winners. He points out that all of the winners had one thing in common - they told a story. His post goes on to assert that if only every ad would use story to "cement relevant facts into the receptive mind of the listener", it would be a "great" radio commercial.
Hold on a second.
First of all - yes, we all love stories. But great radio ads need to do more than stories do. Stories entertain. They don't necessarily sell. And any definition of a "great radio commercial" that does not include "it sells" or some variation (like, "it grows the clients' business, demonstrably") is not a complete definition.
We'd all love to make funny, artsy ads. My favorites are the Dos Equis ads. Hilarious. Brilliant writing. But I haven't purchased a Dos Equis beer in at least 5 years. Despite having listened to those ads probably ten times more than the average consumer. During that same five year period.
My second point is this: awards reward things that clients don't necessarily benefit from. Awards are for advertising agencies. Not clients. They say literally nothing about how well that ad agency can sell something for a client. Telling an entertaining story is nice, and fun. But it does not necessarily sell, and most frequently it doesn't.
How do I know this? Because in overseeing well in excess of six thousand radio advertising tests, I've learned a thing or two about what sells in radio ads. And what doesn't. So, this isn't my opinion. It isn't my preference either - I'd rather make Dos Equis ads. But it is the truth.
Yes, storytelling can sell, but only if done in a certain way. And even then it most often plays no more than a 50% role in the success of a radio ad. At Strategic Media we call it the context of the ad, in contrast to the content. The context of the ad is meant to grab attention, to establish a level of interest that lures in the listener's attention. Even though I am speaking of it as separate from the content, context and content are inseparable. In great radio ads they work together to both capture & hold attention while delivering content that compels the listener to take action.
The 3 ads that Portland Radio Group references in their post as exemplary are, frankly, dead on arrival when it comes to creating successful radio advertising campaigns. Let's take the HBO ad (2nd one down). It does three things simultaneously that kill its potential. First the voiceover takes a monotone approach that fails to convey "you must listen to this - it's important". Is it funny? In a backwards way, yes. But in the process of being quasi-funny, it fails to grab and hold attention. Next, he overwhelms the listener with information, much of which is completely unfamiliar to the average listener. Third, there is no compelling reason why I should take any action upon hearing this ad - even if I were able follow the onslaught of information (because I happened to hear it while sitting in a dark cave with no other competition for my attention, which would be the requisite situation). I would venture a bet that HBO sold nearly nothing from airing this ad - assuming the ad ever even made it on the air or was even made with he intention of selling HBO's product rather than winning the agency an award.
Radio advertising awards are best understood for what they are. They are marketing tools for agencies and the radio media industry. But since they don't conduct the kind of testing we have over the last 13 years, they don't actually know what works and what doesn't when it comes to creating excellent radio commercials. In our opinion, the only radio advertising awards that matter are the ones that win our clients new customers, profitably.

Product 366/470
Gunari, a half-dragon, has trained hard to become Guardian to a Muse. He's stunned, thrilled and a little puzzled when he's assigned the Guardianship of Misu, a demi-Muse, well before expected. He's never heard of a demi-Muse and when told that Misu is male, he's even more confused as a Muse is always female.
Meeting Misu is an eye-opening experience for Gunari. The attraction Gunari feels toward Misu is instant and whole-heartedly returned. Misu is also more than just the oddity of a male Muse. He is a male-identifying hermaphrodite and his area of ideas and influence is erotica. Misu develops and shares his gift with his chosen human through sexual acts and Gunari is more than happy to help Misu do his job, reveling in encounters that span heavy BDSM scenes to sweet, gentle loving. Misu knows Gunari is the man Fate selected for him before either of them were even born and hopes that with time, Gunari will come to realize that, too.

Logan - An American Restaurant
Online Reservations
The Thai Scallop entree was perfect! I loved the creamy coconut sauce with the large, fresh scallops. The small amount of greens that were in the coconut sauce complimented the dish very nicely. I was going to order the dish without the greens, but the server insisted that I give them a try, and so glad that I did!!! The potatoes that came with the entree were also perfect! I would definitely recommend this entree and would return to try something new. The goat cheese raviolis were good too, but a bit heavy! The ambiance was nice and the service was great!
Food is outstanding. Particularly when complimented by Kevin's artful wine choices paired with food. Recommend the wine pairing option rather than one bottle. Makes it more interesting, fun, horizon expanding. Great, attentive service, best in town. All food was excellent except the lobster roulade appetizer which was so-so. Tough lobster, weird flavored sauce. Our favorite restaurant now for special occasions or romantic night out.
Logan is one of the top restaurants in Ann Arbor, and deservedly so. If you're from out of town and have time for only one great dinner in A2, make it Logan! The Thai Scallops are the best I've ever had!
Kevin's wine and food pairings are second to none and he has the cellar to pull it off. Chef Thad's inspirations are often brilliant, always interesting and guaranteed to be flavorful. The scallops are such an obvious go to that it's hard to explore too much but you'll be glad you wondered if you start by telling them what you like. Get those biscuits into the sauces, you won't be sorry. The cocktails stand up against any coastal mix. Most people I've brought there have fallen for the Bella Donna, the Bella Terra or the Old Fashion.
Staff and Service is even better than the great food!
My cousin and I dined here after hearing it was a great spot to go. Great? It was more than great. We really enjoyed ourselves. We chose the 5 course Chef's Choice menu and dined blindly. We allowed the wine to be paired for us as well. Excellent, excellent choices! We already discussed dining there again for Christmas.
This could have gone 5 stars if we would have skipped dessert. I can only speak to the bread and rice puddings, don't waste our time or money on them.
Logan is one of the best restaurants in Ann Arbor. It is a great value for money if compare to other places in similar price range on a Main Street. Definitely more French than American in terms of food. Good wine list, however, prices are a bit higher than at all other Main Street restaurants. In addition, enjoy a free desert on your birthday day.
The drink service was, as always, excellent, even thought it was quite busy on a Thursday night. On a lark, I tried the vegan dish - roasted cauliflower, quinoa, and green pea sauce (soup?). It was quite excellent - very flavorful and satisfying. I wasn't stuffed, but I never am with vegan food. I would likely get it again. My wife's fish (sustainable catch of the day) was also really good.
The restaurant itself is a beautiful space with lovely color on the walls. The menu has intriguing items. The specials - grouper cheeks and duck breast ravioli - caught our imagination. We shared the grouper cheeks. They were delicious, as were the sauces that accompanied them. I had the duck breast ravioli in a reduction of duck breast broth as an entree. It was possible to have the ravioli as an appetizer or as an entree. The ravioli were tender, the filling was very flavorful, and the broth dense and rich. My husband had the" lamb steak" with garlic yoghurt and a puree of celeriac, with roasted cauliflower. The flavors went together beautifully. Our waitperson, Melissa, was charming, as well as deft and professional.
Crab salad and perch were gluten free and quite tasty. Gluten free breading on perch was a little thick but no other complaints with food. Good bottle of wine for $50 but the wine list seemed a little pricey. Overall, consistent with the positive reviews I had read.
I have been so blessed to live in a city that is full of eateries with menus that accommodate my gluten and dairy issues. Some are now lableing the menu for gluten and dairy. This is not the case here at Logan. I had a wonderful meal but it took multiple trips to the kitchen to arrainge with the chef to get permission from him to not use butter in my food, gluten was not a big problem as most selections did not use it. My lamb was perfectly done and very tender. The squash was like velvet, brusselsprouts very tasty all without butter. Im sure Allergys seen a nuisance to the establishments, but as a patron when exposed to them can ruin a week of your life. I thank my lovely server who made every effort to help me out. We will return.
The evening was perfect. Staff pleasant, food wonderful. Perfect.
Always seem to really enjoy dinner at Logan's, and most recent trip no exception - Kevin does a wonderful job insuring we have the "right" wine for our meal, and special appetizer and entrée were both excellent - too bad we don't live in Ann Arbor full-time so that we could enjoy more often!
Incredible menu! Cool cocktails! Great service!! What else do you want???
Sauce with the duck was deliscious ( not too heavy, but still full flavored. Everything tasted very fresh. Would have appreciated a little more of the great play on the Ceasar. Lili interacted just the right amount to add to our dining experience without taking it over.
I can't express enough high praise for this restaurant. Logan has an inventive menu, excellent service, and a magnificent wine list. And to top it all off, they recently started offering personalized wine pairings with each of your selected courses, even if you don't order the 5 course meal plan with pairings. Kevin, the sommelier, is wonderfully knowledgeable and intuitive when it comes to pairing wine with the marvelously crafted food courses. We will definitly come back again and again. With friends.
We celebrated our anniversary at Logan and we could not be happier with our dinning experience. We ordered their five course meal with the wine flight. Every course was delicious and the wine that was paired with each course was perfect. The Sommelier visited our table often to let us know about all the different wines. His love for the wine and the choices he made to pair with the food were spot on. Our waiter took great care of us, he was very friendly and attentive. This was our first time at Logan and it will not be our last. We loved it.
This is my favorite fancy restaurant in Ann Arbor, hands down. It's expensive, yes, but I've been here for the chef's tasting menu with wine flight pairing twice now for special occasions, and both times have been some of my favorite meals of all time, including international travel experiences. Stellar service and beautiful attention to detail in magnificent meals.
Kevin always selects the right wine for our meal - and the specials are excellent!
Had 5 course fixed meal and every item was fantastic. We also had the wine pairing for an additional charge. The wine pairing option provided 4 small glasses of wine, one for each of the non-dessert courses. My girlfriend and I were very pleased with our experience and we plan on returning for our next special occasion.
We took my parents here for their 40th anniversary & brought my 3 year old nephew along. The restaurant was more than accommodating, the food was excellent & the service was superb. We started with the pork dumpling, the cured salmon & the cheese plate for appetizers. I had the fennel/peanut salad which had a really nice Thai influence. Everyone else had the Logan salad, standard fare. The entrees were really wonderful. I tasted the special which was a duck pastie, the port glazed salmon, confit of duck, leg of lamb & pasta w/bolognese. All were wonderful. The wine was delicious, as were the desserts. The staff was above and beyond friendly & accommodating to my nephew. I highly recommend this place for any occasion.
Truly the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. Food is amazing and service is great.
My husband and I met a couple of friends for dinner at Logan and we had a great time. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. The only thing I would recommend would be a larger selection for vegetarians and vegans, this is Ann Arbor after all! :)
My husband and I had a lovely anniversary dinner at Logan. The ambience was warm and inviting and the service was friendly, we never felt rushed or neglected. I had the fennel peanut salad and it was superb. The peanut dressing complemented the fennel perfectly. AMy entree was the scallops with Thai seasoning and they were among the best I've ever had. The sauce was complex and delicate, absolutely delicious. David had the steak and it was cooked perfectly with a rich, flavorful sauce. I have Celiac and they were able to accommodate my dietary needs, in fact, my order was gluten free without having to remove anything. We will be back and we would recommend it to our friends.
The food was delicious. However, most restaurants aroud the country are moving away from the huge protein portions and more towards accentuating the vegetables. Also was not a fan of the orange, green and yellow walls. Reminded me of a smoothie joint or something. The chef is excellent though.
Absolutely outstanding gourmet Meal. Service excellent Any limitations overshadowed by Quality of meal
We went there before a concert. The service was exceptional and the staff managed the delivery of four courses so that we never felt rushed and even had time for the wonderful bread pudding for dessert! The wine selection is amazing and interesting. Finally, I wish our party went for the cheese trio appetizer again, but alas was outvoted. I remember it as one of the most interesting appetizers in recent memory. Thanks for a wonderful evening!
was very impressed with the level of service and passion around the wine and food pairing. Many great wines at a very reasonable price for a high end experience. The wild boar pasta is excellent.
As always, wonderful dining experience. Well prepared food with excellent service. Only misstep. - deserts were rather limited and unattractive.
The food was above average, but not earth-shattering. The service was impeccable and the sommelier was very helpful. I would return to try the tasting menu with the wine pairing.
First time to Logan. Enjoyed the Chef's menu with wine pairing, a five course selection of menu items and generous half glasses of wine for four pairings. All food was delicious but the truffled ravioli was one of the best things I have ever eaten. My compliments to Chef. Service was excellent. We look forward to returning soon.
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Logan. Service was lacking though. Server finally came to our table almost 10 minutes after we had been seated, didn't introduce herself, just went right into what we would like to eat. Food took a long time to come out...not sure if this was because of server not putting in order or the kitchen. But by time we got our meal, restaurant had died down & there weren't many guests left. The bartender came to our table to help us select our wine & he had an extensive knowledge of wine which was very helpful & made up for our lack of service from our server.
Logan has never been less than excellent, with its warm, informative staff, inspired and elegant food, and expert wine advice. And it is quiet! No music, no noise, just the murmur of good conversation.
For years I've wanted to try this place but always reverted back to my regular routine eateries. What a delight to celebrate a birthday here! The food (pork tenderloin) was awesome. The server was knowledgeable and attentive. Wine selection was nice. Great coffee and desserts. I definitely will return to this little gem and highly recommend it to other foodies!
Favorite places to dine, for me, are an atmosphere that is not stuffy, where we feel comfortable, but the food & service are outstanding. This place absolutely fits that description. The appetizers were unique & tasted amazing. The Asparagus Tempura was crisp & cooked just right. I've experienced soggy version of this elsewhere, but the did it perfectly here. The sesame seed sauce was interesting, but I preferred them plain. The table raved about the Crab & Avocado appetizer. And the chef was kind enough to do a small side of the Truffled Goat Cheese Ravioli as an appetizer since we were dying to try it but it was a main dish. Had the Bourbon Pork Tenderloin with a crispy potato pave and a side of sauteed spinach. It was fantastic.
We have been going to Logan's since it opened and have never been disappointed. Beautiful presentation, fantastic service and fabulous taste makes for a great night out. The stained glass mussel dish brought back fond memories as that was the first dish we ever ordered there. Looking forward to next year's annual trip.
The recommendation we received for Logan was OUTSTANDING so we were very excited to celebrate my birthday there. They were running behind with our reservation so we sat at the bar (not much of a bar) while we waited. No biggie! Loved the table by the window and our waiter was remarkable. Our entrees were very tasty but we were disappointed with our appetizer (especially for the price). The crab roll was very chewy and honestly unedible (although my husband did finish it off so I guess that's an exaggeration). Overall, I would return and recommend to a friend but I would be careful with the appetizer selection.
We had a dinner for two and the food and service was excellent. Some servings were on the smaller side. For instance, my date got the Thai scallops and I think there were 4 of them. I got the leg of lamb and it was definitely not a small serving. I was impressed by how much was on the plate. Again, the food was stunningly good. The server was excellent; always there when you needed her but not too intrusive into our conversation. Not a "value" meal, by any stretch. This is a place you want to go when you are looking for good food, a great wine list to accompany the food, and a special night out. The noise level was a little on the loud side, but other than that I had no concerns. We'll likely go back again for a special meal in the future.
Logan has been our favorite Ann Arbor spot for years. This was an especially perfect night. Every course was spectacular and the wine selections from Kevin were paired well.
Not inexpensive, but worth it. Nice menu variety, everything prepared perfectly. Service is attentive, helpful and polite. Food served promptly, but we never felt rushed. Very nice overall experience.
A super good special occasion restaurant with food and wine off the charts
The food was exceptional! Wild boar pasta was incredible. The Caesar salad was a little different lemony but was also very tasteful.
I came to Logan to celebrate my birthday and loved it. My server Lili was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and made me feel special. She promptly replaced silverware after use for another course. She waited until I was at my table to deliver each course of my meal. The Amuse-bouche, the tomato soup, was flavorful and set the tone for the rest of the meal. I enjoyed the Logan salad, though I wish it had a few more greens. My entree, the Short Rib, was incredible. Paired with it's accompanying cheese grits, carrots, and shallots, it was the best short rib that I've had anywhere. All of the staff made me feel welcome at Logan. I will return and recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Ann Arbor.
I had the bourbon flavored pork which was phenomenal. Our appetizer (lobster rolls) was okay and my husband's lamb was good, but the pork was by far the best. The atmosphere was really nice, drinks were good, and it was a great experience overall. We will definitely go back.
The service and food were outstanding. The restaurant is small and has a welcoming and intimate atmosphere. Highly recommended.
My wife and I left the restaurant perplexed and slightly disappointed that we had lived in Ann Arbor for 5 years and this was our first time enjoying Logan's. The service was top-notch. The food was incredible. Really. We both had the Chef's 5-course menu and still cannot stop talking about how much we enjoyed it.
Had a wonderful dinner and GREAT service. The drinks were a tad pricey, but did find a Malbec that was good at reasonable price.
food was displayed nicely and tasted great. Service was wonderful.
Knowledgeable, friendly staff + unusually imaginative cuisine + thoughtful wine list = memorable evening out.

text: I find myself spending a fair amount of my computer time on my laptop in bed. I'll spend 1-2 hours/night. I was thinking about getting a TV for my bedroom to use as an external display. It will be used for gaming and watching movies. Since it will be connected to my laptop I don't need any "features" that they dump into these TV's as selling points. I don't want to spend a lot of money since it is not going to be my primary TV. I looked at an LG A6500 plasma which I am considering. Anyone have experience with Dynex? The Best Buy guy told me it was Samsung's off brand so used a lot of the same components. I know Vizio is a decent low end brand.

I've taken time this Sunday to assess some of the alternative workarounds to sync over WiFi with MM. These are the options I come up with: A: Wait for an Android app that syncs with MM <-- Probably takes agesB: Copy files to a seperate folder + Android WiFi Sync Files <-- This is possible, but not a favorable solutionC: Auto-export M3u's (MM-script) + Android WiFi Sync M3U's <-- Surprisingly, there is no android app that syncs M3U'sI notice at this point that there are TONS of Android apps that support iTunes, and syncs iTunes playlists. Apparently iTunes is more favorable by developers, or has playlists that are easier to address to. Whatever the reason is, iTunes is so much in favor. At this moment I installed iTunes, and will give it a try. Probably I will not completely abandon MM. Rather I will use MM for tagging, and iTunes for Synchronizing and playing songs. I would be glad that Last.FM plugin will work again too with iTunes. I will keep you updated.

Basically you trick MM into thinking it's syncing to a USB mass storage drive.First you need an sbm app for your phone like Samba. Using Samba you can share and browse your phone on your network. Basically you'll be able to browse it over wifi by going to \\android\sdcard. Then map a network drive to the shared network resource. For me, I made a "W:" drive for my wifi syncing, and mapped it to \\android\sdcard.Then in MM options, setup Portable/Audio Devices. Configure a USB Mass storage device. On the "options" tab, make sure "Device configuration" points to your mapped drive letter. For playlists to work properly, go to the "Playlists" settings on the "options" tab and check the "Force relative paths" box. That got playlists working for me in players that support m3u files like Google Music and Winamp. Also, in "options" "destination" settings, you can use the <Path> string to get your phone's file structure to match your computer's file structure. I prefer this to reorganizing based on artist, album, etc... Tweak the other settings to match your particular organization preferences and you're good to go.
