Marketing Strategy
What is Mobile Marketing and Why Does it Matter? (So So Much!)
What is Mobile Marketing? I would tell you that mobile is the future of marketing, but really the era of mobile has already arrived. If you're not implementing some kind of mobile marketing strategy, you're already trailing behind! As you can see from the graph below, more users are spending larger amounts of time engaged with mobile devices than ever before.
We can expect this trend to continue even further in the future, so get ready!How Does Mobile Marketing Work?Mobile marketing consists of ads that appear on mobile smartphones, tablets, or other mobile devices. Mobile marketing ad formats, customization, and styles can vary, as many social media platforms, websites, and mobile apps offer their own unique and tailored mobile ad options.Why You Need a Mobile Marketing StrategyYour busin... > Read more
What Makes 'Great Content' Great? 8 -Able Words for Greater Content
I know y'all are sick of hearing that "content is king.""Content is king" is one of the major web marketing clichés of our time, right up there with "SEO is dead."Following close behind, I think, is the recommendation to "create great content." Want tons of Google traffic, hot leads, record sales? Don't worry about SEO, conversion rate optimization, any of that, just create great content!But what does that really mean? What makes content great, and what exactly is "content" anyway?Here's my definition: "Content" is really just information – really, simple as that! When you create content, you're putting information on your site.
Some of it is intended to teach, some of it is intended to persuade, some of it is intended to entertain. And great content is i... > Read more

Further Adventures in Inbound Marketing: HubSpot PPC Hub & Upcoming Moz Webinar
Recently, we did our best to put the lie to the myth that PPC is outbound marketing. There's a persistent idea that cost is the determining factor that separates inbound and outbound marketing. But we believe that all marketing has costs – since no channel is free, what matters is ROI. So inbound marketing isn't free marketing, but rather is defined by context and intention.
Like organic content marketing, PPC ads are driven by context and user intent – in other words, the ads are only triggered when they're relevant to what people are already searching for. And with increasingly more effective and blinged out ad types, PPC is more and more likely to meet a searcher's needs just as well, if not better, than an organic result. (We believe that for commercial searches, PPC is better... > Read more
Modern Marketing: Automation's Evolution Brings More Opportunities to the Table
No search marketing campaign can guarantee a 100% purchase rate. Simply put, many visitors just aren't ready to buy... yet. Marketing automation technology and best practices close that gap, turning every website visitor into a lead to be loved and nurtured. As marketing best practices have evolved over the years, so has modern marketing automation.
Today, consumers make decisions on their own terms and expect marketing messages to be relevant both to their interests and where they are in the buying process. Delivering the wrong message at the wrong time is both annoying and a waste of $$.The marketing climate has been moving in this direction for many years. From the dawn of radio and television, consumer choice has increased and marketers have been forced to continually refine their... > Read more
How Not to Market to Women: Fashion Isn't ALL Women Care About
Dear companies that market to women: Stop trying to sell me stuff that has nothing to do with fashion by fashion-washing your ads. I hate this marketing trend! Much in the way that toy companies think little girls will only be interested if it's pink, brands that sell everything from house paint to yogurt have decided that the only way to market products to women is via association with makeup and clothes.
It's sexist, it's cynical, and it just doesn't make sense.Here are a few of the more egregious examples of this marketing trend I've seen in the past year.The Fage Lipstick AdMmm, creamy luxury! What a great ad for lipstick!Wait, what? This is an ad for yogurt?We don't even need to get into the irrationality of yogurt being marketed solely to women – my husband eats 10 time... > Read more
Brooks Brothers' Gatsby Collection & Other Advertising Tie-Ins That Totally Missed the Point
There aren't too many benefits to being an English major type – extra zeroes on your paycheck sure ain't one of them – but we take our kicks where we can get them, and being self-congratulating and superior when someone misinterprets something literary is one of them. So in this post, I'm going to shame some companies that totally missed the point when it came to using a book, poem or song in their advertising campaigns.
And as long as we're clearing up misconceptions? "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" doesn't mean "Where are you, Romeo," it means "Why are you named Romeo?" Now you know.Brooks Brothers & The Great Gatsby: So MoneyWith Baz Luhrmann's 3-D adaptation of The Great Gatsby opening this weekend, various Gatsby-themed advertising tie-ins are all over the p... > Read more
Review of Mention, a Great Alternative to Google Alerts for Brand Monitoring
Back in April 2012 I wrote about how Google Alerts had pretty much stopped working for me. Recently, they clearly tweaked something, because Google Alerts are working better, as Danny Sullivan noted at Search Engine Land recently. However, they're definitely not back up to the level they were at when I first signed up for a Google Alert years ago.
Why not? Apparently, Google only sends you new alerts under these circumstances:Google Alerts only sends you email if new articles, webpages or blog posts make it into the top ten Google News results, the top twenty Google Web Search results or top ten Google Blog Search results for your query. If the top results remain the same for a while, you won't receive email on your topic.Perhaps this reduces the processing power they have to devote to G... > Read more
Content Marketing vs. PR: What's the Difference?
I recently spoke with an analyst who had asked me how content marketing is different from traditional PR (public relations). I think this is a question that all marketers and SEOs are having to grapple with as SEO evolves. On the one hand, it's getting harder and harder to rank in the SERPs with low-quality content and spammy links, making real content marketing much more important; on the other hand, the value of the link as we know it is slowly being devalued relative to social currency and co-citation, which owe a lot to word of mouth and good PR.
So what's the difference between PR and content marketing? Is there any? The short answer is yes. Here are some thoughts on how these marketing strategies differ.Content Marketing & PR Evolved from Different TacticsI see content m... > Read more
Stop Unsubscribers in their Tracks: A Lesson from Fab
Recently I came across a creative and smart marketing strategy that I thought I'd share with you, the wonderful WordStream community. Preventing newsletter followers from unsubscribing is a goal of many marketers. The Fab marketing team has taken an innovative approach to combating unsubscribers, and today we'll be taking a look at their unique technique.
Fab is a company that specializes in design-oriented retail. The Fab website exists as a marketplace for finding unique art, jewelry, cookware, furniture, etc. They sell some pretty awesome items, and their descriptions are fun as well. Take the product below as an example: "Being human is way overrated. We're all soft and squishy, we don't have enough feathers or horns, and we definitely don't roar as loud as we should.

Google's Mobile Ad Strategy: An Interview with Surojit Chatterjee, Head of Global Mobile Search Ads
The announcement of Google's new Enhanced Campaigns – coming to an AdWords account near you very soon – made a pretty big splash in the PPC community last week. We think the new campaigns present an exciting opportunity for marketers, especially when it comes to mobile advertising, because the previous system was too time-consuming and complicated.
Enhanced Campaigns should make mobile advertising much easier – but a lot of advertisers voiced concern that the shift will reduce control.Recently, I had the chance to chat with Surojit Chatterjee, the head of global mobile search ads product at Google. Surojit was one of the key product leaders behind the recently released Enhanced Campaigns. In this interview, we discuss the upcoming changes in detail, including what trends and behavi... > Read more
Viral Content Marketing Tips for Non-Viral Businesses
Herpes Simplex is a beautiful thingIt's flu season, folks! Viral activity is high. And even if you got your flu shot and have Tamiflu stockpiled in your hall closet, I wouldn't be surprised if you or someone on your marketing team is secretly dreaming of the infographic or Gangnam Style parody vid that's going to take off faster than H1N1.
Seriously though. I'd like to think that the obsession with viral marketing campaigns is going the way of small pox. It's not a practical goal for most marketers, and if it happens once, you can go crazy trying to make it happen again.I may not be an advocate of viral content marketing, but I am an advocate of content marketing, the good old-fashioned non-viral kind. And I recently saw a great slide deck from Upworthy about how they ... > Read more
The Problem with Marketing Best Practices
Best practices are best practices for a reason – right?You've probably heard people say the same thing about stereotypes. There may be a grain of truth behind some stereotypes, but mostly they're just an excuse for lazy thinking.Marketing best practices – supposedly tried and true guidelines – are the same way.
Some of them are at least partly true; others are based on pure assumption or are so hypothetical as to be basically meaningless to your particular company.Take, for example, the "best practice" that content for the internet should be brief. Many people assume that web readers don't want to deal with long-form content, so web writers should always favor brevity over depth.Recently, we've found the opposite to be true: Our longer blog posts tend to get better metric... > Read more
A Beginner's Guide to Content Strategy for the Web: 10 Things You Need to Know
Content strategy is a relatively new niche discipline in the digital space. It shares common ground with user experience (UX), interface design, web development, SEO, content marketing, public relations and traditional "offline" marketing.This article highlights some of the leading concepts of web content strategy, how it fits in with its neighbouring disciplines, and shares some practical guidelines that anyone in the digital space – especially those new to content strategy – should consider before embarking on their own content strategy.

21 Ways to Get Ready for Small Business Saturday
It's almost here—the holiday shopping season that so many businesses rely on to profitably round out the year. And once again, there's a movement afoot to ensure that small businesses get their fair share of the action. Nestled in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is Small Business Saturday (SBS)—which this year falls on Saturday, November 24.
The U.S. Small Business Administration describes it as "a day to celebrate and support small business and all that they do for their communities." It's particularly meaningful to me as I myself founded a start-up, and we work with so many small and medium sized businesses every day!Small Business Saturday may be less than one week away, but there's still time to make sure your business is primed for what will hopefully be a bi... > Read more
Who Will Win the Election Tomorrow? Obama by a Landslide*!
*If online engagement metrics are any indication!Election Day 2012 is tomorrow – will President Barack Obama get another four years? Or will Republican challenger Mitt Romney take the win?Political wonks may know that statistician Nate Silver has predicted a win for Obama based on election polls and public opinion polls.
I was curious if the Internet presence of the two respective candidates pointed to the same outcome. So I ran some quick numbers to look at Obama and Romney's spending on paid search advertising (political campaign ads on Google search and the Google Display Network), their website traffic, and their social media presence (including Facebook fans, Twitter followers, and YouTube subscribers).Based on what I found, I predict that Obama will win by a landslide on Nov. 6, ... > Read more

DIY? No Can Do: More Companies Turn to Software for Help with PPC
There was a time when being a PPC manager necessarily entailed being an Excel ninja as well. Not a fan of spreadsheets? Then step away from the PPC account, my friend!In 2001, however, a tipping point occurred – the majority of companies no longer managed their PPC accounts using Excel. And the trend continues in that direction.
According to SEMPO's recent State of Search report, the number of companies who manage their PPC campaigns DIY-style using free tools like those provided by search engines, Excel, or "a simple database" fell from nearly half (49%) in 2001 to just 38% in 2012.

Content Marketing Magic: Aligning Keyword & Content Types with Business Goals
Lately it seems like content marketing is the new SEO. It's become a bit of a buzzword. But when you slap a trendy label on something, it's easy to start overthinking it. Ten years ago, everyone with a website was producing content of one kind or another. Then we started worrying about SEO – how to make that content more visible and available to search engine visitors.
Now that "content marketing" is the word of the day, people are stressing about what "content" means and how they can "create great content."But the truth is, for most businesses, your goals haven't really changed. You're still just trying to get people to your website to do whatever it is you want them to do – to buy your widgets, as it were. Advertising is one way to accomplish that; content marketi... > Read more
The 20-Minute PPC Work Week: Weekly Checklist [Download]
We've evaluated thousands of PPC accounts with the AdWords Performance Grader, adding up to almost $1 billion in total PPC spend. Looking at this huge amount of data in aggregate, one of the most salient trends has to do with account activity. Namely, we've noticed a strong correlation between regular activity and relative success.
That is to say, the advertisers that get the highest scores (because they're beating everyone else in terms of key metrics like Quality Score, click-through rate, and impression share) usually spend the most time in their accounts.Disturbingly, about 1 in 5 advertisers who used the Grader haven't even logged into their AdWords account in the past 30 days. We get it – we're busy too! – but if you don't actually work on your account on a regular basis, your RO... > Read more

Truth in Advertising vs. Lies in Advertising: Which Do You Prefer?
Facebook Ads Whisper Sweet Lies While Kinect Emotion-Detecting Ads Slap You With the TruthA few weeks ago I encountered a bizarre advertisement on Facebook that caught my attention:I spent a moment trying to puzzle out how a decapitated baby head related to social work. The whole point of course is that it doesn't—the creepy-baby-head-ad I encountered is a classic shock & awe Facebook ad, determined to capture a user's attention with a strange picture with hopes that you might be curious enough to click through.
It's quite the lowly form of advertising, banking on Facebook users' curiosity alone to drive clicks. But this idea of embracing the "silly" factor that is ever-present on the internet can be successful for some, like the Plenty Of Fish ads made in Microsoft Paint ... > Read more
Why I Dumped My Facebook IPO Shares at the Open Today
In a final, epic victory of reason over complete and utter pandemonium, I dumped my Facebook IPO shares at the open today.This may come as a surprise to some, given that I wrote a pretty bullish case about the future of Facebook just yesterday, which in itself was probably surprising given that on Tuesday we published research that basically said Facebook advertising is awful.
So why did this confused and conflicted internet marketer sell shares of The Social Network?As in PPC management, buy and hold is for suckersWhile I still strongly believe everything I wrote about the long-term future of the company, timing still matters and it's going to take a couple of quarters (or years even) for FB to figure out how to monetize its audience.Damn it, Jim, I'm a marketer, not a financial ... > Read more
Why I Bought Facebook IPO Shares Today

)It's a pretty big investment for me and might come as a surprise to some, given that I recently published research on Tuesday morning that basically concludes Facebook advertising is awful.

CAPTCH-AD: A New CAPTCHA Form of Advertising?
CAPTCHAs are a necessary evil in a modern world. CAPTCHAs, also known as those-annoying-boxes-with-the-weird-words, are used to prevent evil robot spam attacks.Well the other days I came across a new, never-before-seen (at least by me) CAPTCHA that could have some pretty huge advertising implications.
Introducing, the CAPTCH-AD!CAPTCH-AD: The CAPTCHA AdvertisementWhat's crazy about the CAPTCH-AD is that you are required to watch (and pay attentionto) the advertisement in order to fulfill the CAPTCHA box. There's no getting around it – you will read that ad. It's like when you see advertisements plastered over your tray table on budget airlines; you roll your eyes, groan, cover it with a book or a laptop, but there's just no avoiding it and the ad demands acknowledgement.It s... > Read more
3 Quick Ways to Generate Leads from Your Existing Website Content
You're a marketer, you've been there – the end of the month approacheth and you haven't met your lead goals. If you've got limited resources and it's too late to embark on a brand-new initiative to generate leads, don't give up – chances are you can squeeze a few more leads out of the content you've already created.
Here are three ways to generate leads by re-utilizing your existing marketing collateral.Send an Old Offer to a New ListLook back over your most successful lead-gen offers from the past couple of years, such as white papers, guides, or marketing kits. Hopefully, that content is evergreen or, if it's out of date, can be updated pretty easily (certainly, bringing an older guide up-to-date is faster than starting from scratch to create a new one).Let's say you... > Read more
Crushing on Love Letters: A Valentine's Day Case Study in User Engagement
Online businesses know that user engagement is incredibly powerful. Better than chocolates or flowers, getting users to "like" your posts or engage you in conversation through Google+ is a dream come true! But often, it can be difficult to obtain that valuable user interaction.With Valentine's Day upon us, I thought today we could evaluate Boston Globe's online Love Letters column, a small niche of a large news site that has managed to obtain some exceptional user engagement.
I heard about Love Letters through my mother, who habitually sends me her favorite posts. Although my mother works as a computer programmer, she is the farthest thing from a techie, virtually inept at anything outside of COBOL. A once-a-month Facebooker, she'll often call me to ask how to "send a mess... > Read more
7 Examples of Awesomely Creative Advertising: Using Your Environment
Yesterday I was walking through Boston when I came across quite an unusual scene – a huge golden heap of Butterfingers smack in the middle of Copley Square. What kind of sorcery is this? I thought as I stared in awe at the giant mound of crunchy candy. Several people stood around the pile, gingerly picking up a candy bar here and there.
But after about 30 seconds, kids swooped down in hordes, cramming piles of bars into their backpacks in sheer ecstasy. I snapped these photos to document the event:Upon closer examination, this was no glorious miracle, but actually a clever advertising ploy by Pawngo, an online pawnshop business and apparent Giants fan. Their candy bar jab gives new meaning to "bittersweet." I wasn't beyond cramming some into my pockets before leaving though.I... > Read more

(Min 3 characters)
1. Monuments, numbered throughout the Inventory in a single sequence, are grouped in
various categories as shown in the Table of Contents. Houses are listed numerically under
their streets which are arranged in alphabetical order.
2. Fig. 1 shows the boundary of the present borough, the map in the end-pocket illustrates the central area where most of the monuments are concentrated, and separate maps
within the text indicate the location of monuments in the streets (Figs. 70, 85, 86, 100,
111, 138, 143, 169, 187, 201, 206, 209).
3. Constructions since 1850 have usually been termed 'modern' unless their character
warrants a description and a more precise dating.
4. Churches are normally described in the order E. to W. and N. to S., repetitive features
such as arcades and windows being numbered in the same order. Dates in the descriptions
of memorials are those of the deaths of the persons commemorated, as recorded; surnames
in brackets are maiden names. Proper names are recorded as they appear on the memorials
or other objects but otherwise the normally accepted spelling has been adopted. Church
plate is of silver unless otherwise described.
5. The plans are either hatched to indicate dates of construction or are shown in black for
original walls and in outline for later walls.
6. For monuments not readily orientated to a cardinal point a conventional N. point has
sometimes been assumed. Plans of houses are shown with the street at the bottom.
7. Unless otherwise described, roof coverings are of stone slates.
8. The class references in the accounts of certain houses are designed to avoid repetitive
descriptions; the classes are explained in the Sectional Preface (see Houses and Fig. 7).
9. The description of all heraldry before 1600 is included in the accounts of the relevant
monuments; subsequent heraldry is treated selectively.
10. A glossary of archaeological and architectural terms at the end of the volume contains
only those terms which are used in the inventory and for which an insufficient definition
is given in the Concise Oxford Dictionary, 4th ed. (1951), reprinted with revised addenda

Edward Jenner's House stars in BBC2 TV show, Antiques Road Trip
By Spacy | Friday, February 15, 2013, 11:11
Edward Jenner's House in Berkeley has enjoyed a starring role in the popular BBC2 TV show,Antiques Road Trip.
Edward Jenner's House in Berkeley.
The programme, which broadcast last week, dropped in on the famous home of the pioneer of vaccination, Edward Jenner, on the final leg of its road trip south from Eccleston in Lancashire to an auction house in Seaton, Devon.
Last Wednesday's epidode saw auctioneers David Harper and Catherine Southon set off from Bath from where, having snapped up a few bargains at The Old Bank Antiques Centre, Catherine did a bit of a U-turn and headed north to Berkeley, and the home of Edward Jenner
- the physician and scientist who, as the pioneer of the smallpox vaccine, is said to have saved more lives than any other man in history.
Born in Berkeley in 1749, Jenner became the local doctor, whereupon he set about trying to eradicate smallpox - a disease which was then as deadly as cancer is today.
Upon her arrival at Jenner's former home, Catherine was met by the museum's education and engagement manager, Helen Jeffrey.
Having made their acquaintances, Catherine said: "We've all heard of smallpox, but I don't really know very much more about it."
"It starts off as a fever," explained Helen. "Flu-like symptoms. And as the disease progresses, you come out in bumps and pustules all over your body.
"Not only were they on your skin, but they were also on your internal organs, on your retinas and in your ear canal."So, even if you survived smallpox, you were left with horrific scarring on your skin, or deafness and blindness were absolutely rife."
As Catherine recoiled in horror, the narrator went on to explain that in the 18th century, the disease was untreatable and innoculation with the virus that causes smallpox was extremely dangerous.
"So Jenner started experimenting with the much milder cowpox as a possible vaccine," said Helen.
"Folklore stipulated that dairy maids did not catch smallpox and they had beautiful skin - 'Fair dairymaids, why do you have such beautiful skin?'
"And Jenner did actually ask a young lady that, and she said: 'Well, you're an apprentice doctor, you should know I've had cowpox.'"
And so in 1796, Jenner tested this theory by innoculating his gardener's son with pus from the cowpox blisters of a local milkmaid.
Jenner's cowpox experiment showed that the boy and several other patients were immune to the deadlier smallpox disease - and the rest became history.
So, history lesson dispensed with, Catherine turned her attention to a huge cowhorn on display.
"We believe it belonged to Blossom," said Helen, "the cow that provided the first vaccine for Jenner's cowpox vaccination."
"Ah, so that's very significant," exclaimed Catherine.
But the residents of Berkeley have yet more reason to be proud of their most famous son, according to the narrator because, at the end of his garden in his tiny summerhouse, Jenner vaccinated local people for free. His friends named it the 'Temple of Vaccinia', apparently.
Upon entering the summerhouse, Catherine exclaimed: "Thousands upon thousands of lives would have been saved in this room. That's remarkable."
The narrator went on to inform viewers that in 1979 the World Health Organisation announced smallpox had been eradicated from the human population.
"No wonder they call Edward Jenner the father of immunity," he said.
Next stop, Bristol, where Catherine and David snapped up a few more bargains before heading off to Seaton, where their purchases went under the hammer.
To find out who made the biggest profit and emerged victorious - David or Catherine - watch last Wednesday's episode of Antiques Road Trip on the BBC iPlayer.
Speaking of Antiques Road Trip's visit, Helen Jeffrey, education and engagement manager at Edward Jenner's House, said: "We are delighted that Jenner was one of the stars of the latest episodes of the series.
"Catherine was fascinated by Jenner's story and equally enthused to visit Dr Jenner's House.

The Phillies need pitching. What else is new. They needed pitching last season, but it didn't stop Pat Gillick from making Alfonso Soriano a top priority. With options available at a lower cost, will Pat get his bat?
We've discussed the availability and interest of soon-to-be free agent Mike Lowell manning next season's hot corner, whether the Phillies will get into a bidding war to retain Aaron Rowand and what the future holds for Pat Burrell, who's arrived at the final year of his contract. A multi-dimensional third baseman like Lowell would solve a lot of problems, but frankly, they're all tied into the general idea of right-handed power and lineup protection, a central concern from the previous off-season. We'll get back to that shortly.
The Phillies had a great year at the gates and may be willing to spread the love. According to the Allentown Morning Call, team president David Montgomery and general manager Pat Gillick said the Phils are willing to increase the money spent on player salaries. Montgomery says the Phillies spent $103 in player contracts in 2007, a figure echoed by the Philadelphia Inquirer. Although the number may include perimeter players on the 40-man roster, as suggested by Todd Zolecki of the Inquirer, $103 million is still a significant marker, moving them a little closer to earning a varsity jacket and dating a hot cheerleader.
They're committed to $65 million in salaries for 2008. Pencil in $8 million for Ryan Howard's first arbitration year, leaving roughly $30 million to match the $103 million total of last season, minuns a million or two for the flotsam/jetsam of Rule 5 picks, minor league veterans and players around the edges. Besides Howard, who could be seeing Albert Pujols-type money, Jayson Werth, Geoff Geary and Ryan Madson are among the noteworthy arbitration-eligible players. Set aside a million to resolve those issues, though I'm betting on a fat non-tender for Geary, who was demoted twice and didn't make the post-season roster. Conservatively speaking, call it $25 million to fiddle with, before Monty's bump in payroll.
Back to the power bats. Lowell makes a lot of sense. He's a good warrior with good totals. His bat would fit in nicely. But at 34, which is what he'll be next season, is he with best investment? Lowell might command two years, $22 million, minimum.
Other players have been discussed. Miguel Tejada, reportedly ready to move to third if it means playing for a contender, would constitute a "big bat" – barely. The Phils may be able to squeeze one more all-star season out of him before his career goes into sharp decline, which may have already started.
You can't mention Tejada and Baltimore without bringing up Burrell, who has the steadiest numbers over the last three seasons of all the possibilities mentioned here, including Andruw Jones, who I'll get to in a moment. The Phils were ready to spend millions to replace Burrell with better right-handed lineup protection just one year ago. Today, Burrell has never looked so desirable.
The difference? Statistically speaking, absolutely none: -.002 BA 2006/2007; +.012 OBP; .000 SLG. Yet, Howard took a statistical hit in 2007 and lineup protection, strangely, no longer generates any headlines. Go figure. It just goes to show that the lineup protection debate had more to do with lingering Burrell discontent than statistical merit. (I was on the wrong end of that debate, BTW.)
Back to the bat. Where to put it, and who should it be? Fact: The Phillies have no legitimate right-handed power hitters developing in the minor leagues. Fact: The Phillies have no high-ceiling outfielders developing in the minor leagues. This is a major problem, which strengthens the case for resigning Rowand, extending Burrell, or both.
However, neither of these players has ever hit 51 home runs, the amount Jones hit when he was NL MVP runner-up in 2005. Rowand's career year doesn't come close to Andruw's average one. Coming off a brutal contract year, his worst since 2001, the 30-year-old free agent has been matched with the Dodgers, Rangers, Giants, White Sox, Nationals, Mets, and yes, the Phillies. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
"And there's Philadelphia, where Andruw's hit an awful lot of homers and stolen an awful lot of extra-base hits over the years. If the Phillies don't re-sign Aaron Rowand, they might take a run at Andruw. Seriously."
Seriously is right, and it would make a serious statement, too. After a dismal '07 campaign, Andruw Jones probably played himself into baseball's second tier, which is where the Phillies thrive. Figure Jones will command a lesser commitment than Soriano, who ended up with eight-years, $136 million from Chicago. Scott Boras has suggested he's seeking a contract for Jones at the "fair-market value" of $17-20 million per year, with no length specified. You have to wonder whether the Phils would take the plunge. The pitching market is bone dry. The trades may not be there. Is this best course of action? Taking the money and building an unstoppable offense?
Third basemen Hank Blalock, Joe Crede and Garrett Atkins have also been mentioned as possibilities in a trade, but those are harder to predict, and thus, harder to discuss. Besides Jones, other right-handed free-agent outfielders include Torii Hunter and Mike Cameron, players largely left out of the discussion so far.

Buying in bulk
Our extensive bulk department is one thing that sets PCC apart from other grocers. It's where you'll find floor-to-ceiling shelves of a wide variety of foods — freshly-ground nut butters, rice and grains, beans, herbs, spices, dried fruit, baking supplies, oils and more.
And since bulk foods usually are less expensive than their packaged counterparts, buying in bulk can help you cook and eat well on a budget. You can get just as much as you need and avoid leftovers that might go to waste in your pantry. Need a cup of sugar? A few scoops of black beans? Enough flour to make only one cake? Buy in bulk!
Beyond the basics, you may even be inspired to experiment with lesser-known ingredients such as buckwheat flour, adzuki beans, and wildflower honey. Use all bulk ingredients in this Homemade Wholegrain, Nuts, Seeds and Fruits Granola, or liven up a meal with this Hazelnut Barley Pilaf.
Search for products — as well as nutrition information and cooking directions — in our handy bulk database and use these tips to make the most of your shopping:
- Buy bulk when you need only small amounts of organic herbs and spices. You'll get the freshest quality and avoid paying for an entire jar.
- Try buying maple syrup, soy sauce, nut butters (peanut and almond) and cooking oil in bulk — that way you'll avoid large containers that go rancid quickly and take up space in your fridge.
- Buy your shampoo, liquid soaps and bath salts in bulk — you'll find a wide variety in PCC stores, in the health and body section or sometimes in the bulk food section.
- Limit processed and packaged foods you buy and cook them yourself with organic ingredients from bulk. Make your own trail mix or granola, or sample different flours in your next batch of pancakes or muffins.
The bountiful selection of beans, pastas, and whole grains can be the foundations of many quick, nutritious meals and are cheaper than the canned and packaged varieties. Instead of using canned beans, try cooking your own garbanzos instead to make a big bowl of fresh hummus, or make this Baked Whole Grain Fruity Custard for a healthy, sweet to end a meal.

I couldn't help but smile when I sat down in Chrome Plated Diner and peered through the big window to the kitchen.
When I saw Sharon Watson with a big mixing bowl adding whipped cream to pies, I knew those were going to be great. Watson's son, Torey Smith, owns the diner, and neither is new to the kitchen. Sharon owned her own place – Sharon's Diner – and their family has been involved in a number of successful restaurants in Fort Wayne.
So I knew the pies would be good, and they were.
The Snickers pie was a thick one; there were plenty of chopped-up candy bars in the cream-based dessert and a ton of that whipped cream on top, along with a tasty drizzle of caramel. The banana-chocolate chip pie also had a mound of whipped topping, a chocolate-infused crust and a bright yellow pudding base that exploded with banana flavor. The coconut cream and blueberry pies were up to snuff, and the sugar cream, a Hoosier staple, would have made any diner proud.
Those pies were just what I needed at the end of my meals, too, because they were the only thing that truly shined at Chrome Plated Diner.
Nestled in North Anthony Center shopping plaza, this diner was attractive with a new red and black color scheme, two sets of counter seats – something every diner needs – and walls dotted with flashy chrome car bumpers, hubcaps and vintage auto pictures. And the menu looked the part with breakfast available during all hours, burgers and such diner classics as meatloaf and pork tenderloins.
And there were a few nice items; starting with a couple of appetizers.
The Loaded Taters – crispy, fluffy tater tots with a ton of sweet, tender pulled pork, onions, red and green peppers and cheese on top – were hard to stop eating. The Cheesy Sticks – hand-breaded and deep-fried mozzarella – were a rare find, and, despite the fact that they exploded a little in the hot oil, were better than the from-the-freezer version most places offer.
The meatloaf, lauded as a homemade family recipe, was dotted with onions and red and green peppers, and had a sweet, kind of pasty tomato-based topping, just like my mother's ketchup-based topping. It was good, but not as good as Mom's, and would have been better without the bad brown gravy, which had to have come from a mix.
The rest of my experiences at Chrome Plated Diner were abysmal.
The pies may have been great, but the shakes stunk. My khakis were darker than the chocolate milkshake, which had no chocolate flavor. The peach was even worse. Tart, frozen peaches were used, which gave it no sweetness, and the fruit was still frozen when I found it in the bottom of the glass. Both were too frothy and runny.
The servers were responsible for making those shakes, too, which was a problem. During both visits, they seemed too busy to make them. During one visit, I had already received my appetizers, dinner salad – bad, too, with just iceberg, a pinch of cheese, one cucumber and one tomato wedge – and main course before the shakes arrived.
During that same visit, my Bleu 65 GTO burger was the first thing that came to the table – before my shake, before my appetizer, before the salad and before any of the rest of my party's food. The server apologized when I told her I was not ready for it and placed it under the warming lamp in that kitchen window, where it sat for more than 20 minutes while we had the appetizers and salads.
When the rest of the main courses were ready and in the window, they were brought to the table along with that burger. Needless to say, it tasted as if it sat under a heat lamp. This burger, stuffed with bleu cheese, was dry and crumbly. And, in spite of being stuffed, the cook smashed it flat on the griddle which not only forced all of the juice out of the meat, it also broke it open so most of the cheese ran out, too.
The Big Bopper tenderloin, dubbed a Huge! hand-breaded double-dipped fried Frisbee, was paper thin and as dry as that old burger. It may have been double-dipped in breading, but that breading lacked seasoning and was pretty much flavorless.
Even the breakfast items fell flat. The spinach and feta omelet arrived tepid and was poorly made. The fresh spinach was mixed in with the eggs during cooking and there was plenty of it. The feta was folded in after the eggs were cooked, and the omelet was not warm enough to melt the cold chunks of cheese inside.
The bagel sandwich was piping hot; actually, part of it was too hot. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the bagel was nicely toasted, but the sausage patty was burnt to a crisp.
At least those pies were good and my cups of coffee were spot-on. But I don't think they were enough to bring me back.

A Brooklyn church is hoping to secure a brighter future for one of its iconic windows.
Brown Memorial Baptist Church in Clinton Hill is trying to restore one of its Tiffany stained-glass windows known as "The Pilgrim."
The church says it needs at least $150,000 for the project, so it's launching a fundraising effort tonight at 6 p.m.
"It's been in place for so many years. It has not had any repairs since its installation in 1891," said Beverly Jacobs of Brown Memorial Baptist Church. "Basically, it's a victim of the elements, of the wear and tear. It has accumulated dust and dirt. It is falling apart from the frames of the window."
"Church means to me, it was a place of stability as I grew up. Here, I was able to do boy scouts, I was able to do choir rehearsal, I was able to work in the community," said Marcus Harris, a parishioner. "The window is just one of those key points that we just need to fix in order to be able to make sure that we're still in the community."

More than 240 attendees were present at the Westbury Friends School Gala 2000 as the Legacy of Light Award was presented to Martin J. Delaney, Elizabeth Moger, and Carolyn McCarthy. The award was made to honor those who "through actions today, give hope for the world tomorrow."
By a vote of 867 to 695, residents rejected a $53,671,567 budget, which would have been 12.97 percent higher than last year's. Passage of the budget would have resulted in a 13.4 percent tax increase.
Senior Danielle Ruggiero and her brother, junior Chris Ruggiero of Westbury, were named Manhattanville College's Scholar Athletes of the year at the school's annual awards banquet April 27. The award is presented annually to a female and male athlete in recognition of outstanding academic and athletic achievement. The athletes also serve as a source of pride to the college on and off the playing arena. All juniors and seniors with cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher are eligible for this award.

Residents rally to 'Save' Willistead Park
Construction defacing gem, critics argue
Joel Boyce, The Windsor StarPublished: Tuesday, October 15, 2013
The sudden appearance of construction machinery moving piles of dirt around historic Willistead Park has sounded alarm bells for many Walkerville residents who are planning a last-minute rally this morning.
"Why are they doing this to a historical park?" Walkerville resident Howard Weeks said of the drainage improvements and a planned 10-foot asphalt pathway that will circle the park. "The next thing they are going to do is put up a McDonald's, or so it seems."
Weeks, the son of former Windsor mayor Bert Weeks, grew up across the Willistead Manor and remembers walking through the park to school every morning. He still visits the park every day when he walks his dog. Now he's baffled by all the construction work.
Weeks started a Facebook page to raise awareness on the construction. In one day he had well over 200 members.
He organized the rally at Willistead Park today at 7 a.m. "I was told the path was for walking, but it seems to be wider than the walking path down by the river," Weeks said. "It looks like a huge highway."
He explained today's rally won't be the typical rally with a set structure and guest speakers. However, he hopes it will give residents the opportunity to see what is being done and to ask questions of city officials on site. "It is a beautiful park," Weeks said. "There is nothing else like it in the city. What they are doing is defacing it."
But city parks director John Miceli said people are jumping the gun.
The City of Windsor plans to improve a number of things at Willistead Park, besides adding the pathway and improving drainage, he said, explaining there have been signs up before this year's Art in the Park in June.
He said the city also consulted with the board that runs Willistead Manor and the Rotary Club of Windsor 1918, the club that runs Art in the Park, before starting construction. "We're not tearing up a historical place," Miceli said. "More than anything we're making a historical place more accessible."
Miceli plans to attend the rally this morning and will listen to the questions and concerns from troubled residents.
He compared the pathway, which won't be paved until spring, to the walking path at Jackson Park. According to Miceli, the city has been constructing pathways that size across the city so city vehicles have access to parks. These trails will make it easier for the park's upkeep and won't damage the grass with the city's vehicles, he said. With lighting around the pathway, Miceli hopes more people will use the park.
"We're looking for what the users want and we're trying to provide for them," he said.
He also said the new pathway will be easier for people in wheelchairs to use the park. With the current interlocking bricks, it is inconvenient for wheelchair users.
"We have to make our parks userfriendly to all people," Miceli said. Interviewed in the park Monday night, Jennifer Daley-Stewart, a Walkerville resident, said she doesn't see a problem with the improvement plans.
"I see a cause for celebration," she said.

Santiago de Compostela, Spain
This is a Global Classroom course, a semester-long class taught at Marymount that includes an international field experience during Spring Break as a component of the class.
This course will focus on travel writing – so we're going to travel! Learn the art of translating the vividness of places and experiences into words to share with readers at home. We'll explore Madrid and Galicia, the ancient Celtic region of Spain. Our destination is Santiago de Compostela, home to a shrine of St. James the Greater that has drawn pilgrims for over a thousand years. The beautiful medieval core of the city is simultaneously a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living community. Many of the world's oldest travel writings were stories of pilgrimage in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. We'll read travelers' tales from many traditions and in many forms, from medieval descriptions of miracles to modern articles and blogs. After practicing writing from memory and from local sites, we'll go to Spain for you to collect material for your final creative project.
Bring your walking shoes – we'll walk along part of the Camino de Santiago to experience the pilgrimage trail. Support will be offered to help everyone get ready for the walk and to pick up a few Spanish phrases. (
Donde esta la catedral?) Bring your dancing shoes, too – there'll be time to explore the cultural life of Spain!

Its funny, around the time that we learned that Bare Elegance had closed, we were talking (okay, ranting) to someone about whats left of Times Square and said something to the effect of, Its a miracle the Rum House hasnt closed (that being the improbably scrappy, lovable piano bar on the ground floor of the Edison Hotel). Maybe we jinxed it, or maybe the days of all good, old things in Manhattan are numbered and (to paraphrase a Times story on chain stores) we can only wonder who will be left when the Subways and Dunkin Donuts turn the entire city green, yellow, orange, and purple, but either way: According to its Facebook fan page, the Rum House will close when its lease expires at the end of year. If you want to find us, well be ranting into our beer at Jimmys Corner while its still there.

Six ways for gardeners can survive winter with style.
Power through branches with ease.
You see some pretty flowers in a friend's garden. They give you a fan or two, and then, you see that same flower bloom in your own space the same summer or the next. Suddenly, in the morning light, you notice a hint of diamond dusting on the bloom's surface, and you are hooked. Diamond dusting is an effect where water droplets within the structure of the daylily bloom shimmer in sunlight.
Next to roses, daylilies are my favorite flower. When I first grew them, I ordered a few fans (daylilies are sold as fans) of older cultivars which I still love. Then, I visited a friend with a large daylily garden. Seeing all those beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers floating above the foliage, I was besotted. I now have hundreds of them in my garden, and I've found it's easy to tuck in a few more every spring. With over 69,000 named cultivars, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. However, I've promised my husband I won't try to collect them all.
April and May are perfect months to plant daylilies in the south. You can also plant them in mid to late September, but not mid-summer, or you'll have a bunch of dead daylilies on your hands. Simply put, hot roots rot. Further north, you can plant into June. These pleasant perennials make the summer garden glow, and no matter which style you like best: large or small, spiders, unusual form, or round bagels; or, even those with extreme ruffling or quilling, there is a daylily for every gardener's taste.
They also come in every color combination except blue. That's right. There are no blue daylilies. So, if you land on a site with photos of blue blooms, click elsewhere. The closest hybridizers have come to the elusive blue flower is a nearly blue eye zone like Steve Moldovan's 'Piece of Sky.' Instead of lusting after something we can't have (so far), why not try yellow, pink, purple, orange, red, or a combination.
Once thought to be lilies, daylilies are really members of the Hemerocallidaceae family. Their botanical name, Hemerocallis (Greek) translates to "beauty for a day," and it's this ephemeral beauty which hooks daylily lovers. Although each bloom ends at sundown, the plant itself can send up scapes (stems) of flowers for a month or more. In areas with good irrigation or summer rain, rebloom is also quite common. Hybridizers keep working to create daylilies with high bud counts and reblooming habits to stay in flower as long as possible.
Daylilies are either tetraploid, meaning they have forty-four sets of chromosomes, or diploid, with twenty-two. A few, including the famous orange ditch lilies, have thirty-three chromosomes and are sterile. Called dips and tets, with fans hotly contesting the best qualities of each, dips often have a more delicate look than tets, but tetraploid flowers don't melt quite so quickly in the hot sun. In my book, both are beautiful.
These hardy perennials are easy to grow so long as they have good drainage. Of course, as with most plants, better soil equals better flowers, but in the case of daylilies, using a high nitrogen plant food is also a good idea. Every spring, once the foliage is up and growing, I feed mine with Milorganite or another high nitrogen, organic fertilizer like manure or fish emulsion tea. The daylilies respond by building larger plant clumps and thus more flowers.
If you do become obsessed with these perennials, don't just grow them alone. Instead, group them with other annuals and perennials which will show the daylilies at their best while blooming and help obscure all that foliage when they're not.

October 6, 2009
The Orange County Hornets squared off with the Goochland Bulldogs in a pivotal early-season Jefferson District contest Friday night. Goochland entered Friday's matchup with a 3-1 record, hoping to steal a district win on the road.
Goochland, on their opening drive, would sniff the endzone first. After a David Mckenna run put the Bulldogs on the goal line, quarterback Matthew Henley called his own number and took it into the endzone for a 7-0 Bulldog lead.
Not to be outdone, the Hornets answered right back on their opening drive. Dominique Walker hurdled a defender on his way to paydirt, tying the game at 7-7 at the end of the first quarter.
However, the Bulldogs came ready to play Friday night. Henley called his number for the second time on the goal line and scored on the sneak for the second time in the first half, 14-7 Goochland. And just before the half, a great run by Ezell of the Bulldogs set up Colby Cook with a chip shot field goal. Goochland entered the locker room with a 17-7 lead.
Orange head coach John Kayajanian knew that his team would get all they could handle from the Bulldogs, and the Hornets came out for the second half ready to play. Quarterback Cameron Hughes connected with Dominique Walker out of the backfield for a touchdown, putting the Hornets back in the game, 17-14.
Goochland however, would show some impressive fortitude Friday night, fending off an Orange comeback. Dustin Plummer would take the pitch from Henley and race around the corner to the pylon, 24-14 Goochland.
The two teams would trade scores late in the game, with Goochland coming out on top over Orange 31-21. Goochland improved to 4-1 on the season and Orange falls to 2-3 on the year. Orange will travel to Louisa (3-2) on October 9 for another pivotal Jefferson District matchup.

Harrods sold off for £1.5 billion
Just last month Mohammed Al Fayed was reported as saying he planned to own Harrods for the rest of his living days. Well, it seems as though he changed his mind after selling the luxury department store for £1.5 billion. After 25 years as owner, Al Fayed sold the store to Qatar Holding, in order to spend more time with his family. He will now assume the role of honorary chairman of Harrods which is said to have an exclusive on Tom Ford's womenswear collection when it launches.

But one BSO retiree was worth hiring back, Sheriff Al Lamberti decided. And this retiree's part-time advice was worth $63,000 a year, according to his contract. How does Col. Ed Werder's consulting pay compare with the pay of the staff?
