EasyJet 'holiday moments' campaign brings price back to fore
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 08 October 2012 09:25AM
EasyJet has brought a price tag back to its TV advertising in a new spot created by VCCP, called "holiday moments", as part of its 'Europe by easyJet' work.
The ad ends with a price focus, stating, "Europe from £39.99 one way based on two people flying," which has been present in the brand's print and outdoor work, but did not feature in last year's TV ad.
The ad is set to the track 'So Good' by B.O.B. and features a series of holiday scenarios, from a couple on a romantic break to three young women jumping around in their hotel room, and young children throwing water on their father as he sunbathes on the beach.
The pan-European campaign launched in the UK on Saturday (6 October) during 'The X Factor' on ITV, and has rolled out across France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Spain.
It is supported by print, outdoor and digital work.
It was directed by Phil Lind at production company Home Corp.
The team at VCCP included: Rachel Robinson, art director; Stephania Silveira, copywriter; and Will Tapp, account director. The animation was handled by Man Versus Machine.
The ad builds on last year's campaign that asked "where are you going?" and ran through a montage of photographs of people on holiday.
Last week marketing director Peter Duffy, marketing director, described the ad as the "icing on the cake" of the carrier's overhauled digital strategy, which includes easyJet's revamped website, a mobile site and a booking app.
The latest addition to the brand's digital strategy is its development of an "Inspire me" tool, which uses a scrolling bar to display varying budgets, airports and holiday themes to European customers.
EasyJet is also launching an American booking website for the North American market wishing to travel in Europe. The site will take bookings in dollars.Follow @loullamae_es

I have been trying to keep track of it. But they are not giving any info on it as to when it will reopen. I loved going there and I would love to go back. It is a scam there can't be that many bullets flying over the huge dirt mountains they made for this range.
It's open, just no plinking pit as of the last update on their website.
Chucks correct. I was there last Monday. Open Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon. Much changed from the old wild west days. An RO at each range. All ranges shut down simultaneously at regular intervals for target change etc. They have done a nice job.
"...from my cold dead hands" Charlton Heston & NRA
"He which hath no stomach to this fight,/ Let him depart." Henry V
Last I was there (Last year about this time) they had an RSO at each range and operated the same way, coordinated breaks, etc. The last two times I visited the Pistol Range RSO's (2 different ones)left alot to be desired in attitude.
@ chuck s. ya I had a similar issue if the people were better mannered the experience would have been way better but the range itself is no other.

UPDATE: Change you can believe in — because it's been in Washington since 1973 already.
I believe you were saying something about the Obama campaign being incompetant?
Your honor, Id like to submit Exhibit A: The Perpetual Senator from Delaware, "Slow Joe" Biden.
Joe Biden.
Joe " Wheres the Camera" Biden.
Joe "Pay Grade" Biden.
Joe "Im running for President – again" Biden.
Joe "Who will notice if I copy someone elses speech" Bide.
Joe " Clean articulate black man" Biden.
Yes, That Joe Biden.
Yes, he's the one. Will your honor please excuse me, I need to get my truss repaired as all of this sudden outburst of laughter has caused me to rupture the hernia that I got from the 2004 election.
McCain may have crashed two aircraft, but he is the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
All right everyone, on three:
Yes folks, When you are from the "party of the little man", remember that theres nothing that the people of the South enjoy hearing from more than a toothy, city-slick, east coast, double talking lawyer type.
Biden is to Gravitas what Kerry is to Charisma. He is not marked by just the complete lack thereof, but by such an absence of that material that he folds space in on itself and sucks gravitas from the space-time in the immediate vicinity. If someone with Gravitas actually comes into a room with Biden, they leave the room with less of it as a result.
Jeez. I mean, hasn't Biden been in politics longer than Obama's been alive?

The Incredible Edible Vegetable Christmas Tree Snacker
Categories: Holidays
|Laura Nessler
You might not care much for eating healthy during the holidays. But once the reality of your midsection hits, you might want to forgo the huge portions of prime rib and Yorkshire pudding submerged in gravy. Try making a Christmas tree edible arrangement, fun to make, fun to look at, and even more fun to eat.
There's really not much too it. What you use for vegetables, or fruit, is completely up to you. Hell, use chunks of ham and venison if you want.
For this tree, whole radishes, chucks of broccoli and cauliflower, baby carrots, sliced cucumbers, black and green olives, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and lettuce were used.
|Laura Nessler
Next, get a box of toothpicks. Then start pinning the lettuce to the cone to provide a bed for the veggies.
After the lettuce is completely covering the cone, pin the veggies to the cone starting at the base and work your way up. Be sure to alternate vegetables and pack them in tight for decor.
Once you completely transform the cone into a veggie tree, sit back and stare it for a bit, marveling over the healthy snack you've just created, take some pictures, show your friends, break out the ranch dressing, or the hummus, and start dipping.
They're good for parties, make great appetizers and they store well in refrigerators too. Merry Christmas veggievores.

Brian Andrews, WFOR Photog Bruno Giglio Flee as Man Pulls Out Gun
A scary moment on Friday for Brian Andrews and WFOR photojournalist Bruno Giglio while on assignment covering the murder of a woman. A man standing nearby as they filmed pulled a gun out and what appears to be a female firefighter freaked out trying to get him to drop the weapon. As the two argued Andrews and his photog fled to get out of the way jumping a fence. Brian Andrews tweeted today he ended up landing on his back but other than that no one was hurt
@lizroldancbs4 @erodcbs4 @cbsmiami @brunopgiglioWoke up this morning and realize I landed on my back the wrong way.Motrin Saturday

let me get this straight…2 guys, one named "Bruno" ran away and jump over a wall. Leaving a woman to deal with the gun man, by herself.

These hiking boots are comfortable and fit properly. They are light weight yet warm and dry. Great Boots.
Sized as Expected
Daily hiking
I have TWO PAIRS. I LOVE them! I do lots of hiking in the woods and spend a lot of time in shallow creeks - they are great on slippery rocks! I use one pair for my daily (muddy) hikes and the other for my everyday townie shoes. They are very lightweight, which makes them extra comfy! They offer good ankle support - very helpful since my right ankle is a bit wonky from a couple old injuries. LOVE thes boots!
Sized as Expected
Daily woodland hiking AND running around town
Very pleased. Comfortable and fit well. I love the look also.
Sized as Expected
Hiking and casual wear
I liked the low top brindle so well, I bought a hightop. Same excellent width to make hiking pain free on my little toes. I had to buy a half size larger in the hightops. I got women's 9.5 in the boot. I have already done over 50 miles of sierra hiking in them. They are great. If only boot sized and models did not change, all would be great.
Thank you for your input! We are happy you found the shoes for you.
Smaller than Expected
Mountain hiking, dayhikes with day pack. It has been great on talus slopes and up and down hiking.
I ordered these hiking shoes because I was traveling to New Zealand, where I knew I will hike everyday. I needed some light and waterproof hiking shoes. It was the first time I purchased Merrel shoes and I am happy with it. I wore these shoes for 2 weeks, almost everyday. I was hiking between 2 and 5 hours everyday.I was initially concerned the shoes will too heavy, but their weight was not a problem. I used the shoes in really steep, and dry ground field. The hiking shoes provided enough support to prevent me from slippery. In order to have enough cushion for my foots, I have to wear some light cushion sicks, such the ones from Smartwool. With this, the shoes were very comfortable. In term of size, I am usually a 7 / 7.5 for my day-to-day shoe. I have to order a size 8 because 7.5 was too tight in width. The only thing I would have loved is to find some hiking shoes other than in dark color. While I was browsing on merrel website, there was not so much choice for colorful (i.e., such as red), waterproof shoes. More color will be welcomed for women hiking shoes.
Sized as Expected

I am doing a little market research before I move forward on introducing a new product to the U.S. Homebrew market. I am planning on releasing an apple cider concentrate that can be used for making hard ciders. The advantage being that it is consistent, available year round, and can be stored for up to a year.
Before I go nuts and start running production I was hoping to get a little feedback from the market. Please let me know what you think of the idea or fill out this survey, so I have some hard data to work off of. Thank you for your help.http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TMFSG9M
Sounds like a good idea, I hope you can make a go of it.
I would think that, because cider is so heavily dependent on the variety of apples and the freshness of the juice, making cider from concentrate might not have a broad appeal. As a brewer, I'd worry that the concentration process might damage the more delicate elements of the juice, leading a finished cider that's lacking in flavor, and/or has a flat or generic taste. I suppose if it was cold-concentrated and made from varietal apples at the peak of flavor, it would be potentially appealing for times when fresh juice is scarce or out of season. It would definitely be appealing if it was made from estate-grown apples of English or French origin, the fresh juice of which is hard to come by here in the states.
Call a dozen LHBS see if they would buy it. Sounds good to me.

Customer Experience Management In Europe
Posted by Bruce Temkin on March 12, 2010
- 424 Recommendations
- 0 comments
It turned out that there were 53 responses from Western European firms with annual income of at least $150 million. While this was not a large enough sample size for me to publish in a research report, it was certainly interesting enough for me to present during my speeches. So I thought I'd share some of the data here.
First of all, there's definitely a lot of interest in customer experience in Europe. Forty-seven of the respondents said that customer experience was either critical or very important to their firm's 2010 strategy and, as you can see below, three-quarters of the respondents said that there company is trying to differentiate itself with customer experience.
Only 6% of the respondents said that they had a very disciplined approach to customer experience management. Here's what they identified as major obstacles for improving customer experience:
- Lack of a clear customer experience strategy (53%)
- Lack of customer experience management processes (53%)
- Lack of cooperation across organizations (43%)
- Lack of budget (26%)
- Lack of understanding about customers (40%)
- Lack of urgency (21%)
- Lack of executive involvement (17%)
Here are some customer experience activities that are underway:
- A single set of customer feedback scores that are used across the company (62%)
- An executive in charge of improving customer experience across products and channels (42%)
- A companywide program focused on improving customer experience across channels (40%)
- A voice of the customer program (43%)
As a part of the survey, respondents completed our Experience-Based Differentiation self-test. It turns out that less than one-third of the companies demonstrated six of the customer experience competencies:
- Employees across the company share a consistent and vivid image of target customers (15%)
- Decision-making processes systematically incorporate the needs of target customers (25%)
- Employees across the company are recognized and rewarded for improving the experience of target customers (28%)
- The quality of interactions with target customers is closely monitored (28%)
- Our company's brand drives how we design customer experiences (30%)
- Primary research is used to fully understand the needs and behaviors of target customers (32%)
The bottom line: Many European companies have started their customer experience journey.

Liong, Kang Wee (2002) Performance of Malaysian Wooden Furniture Industry Against Global Exporters. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
This study attempts to investigate export direction and growth of Malaysian wooden furniture compared to five world's leading exporters, China and selected countries from Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia). These countries were chosen because they are of great potential of their steadily increasing export of superior quality wooden furniture. Four categories of wooden furniture were focused on for the analyses which were wooden furniture used in (1) office, (2) kitchen, (3) bedroom and (4) other wooden furniture. The statistical data for import and export from 1994 - 1998 were collected from the International Trade Center (COMTRADE). A share structural analysis was employed to analyze the export trend whilst the export performance was examined using constant market share (CMS) approach. In 1998, Malaysia ranked fifth and seventh in the world ranking of wooden furniture export leaders for office and other wooden furniture, respectively. The United States (US), Japan, Singapore and the United Kingdom (UK) were among the largest destination for Malaysian wooden furniture. In contrast, most of the exports of wooden

The Sunset Limited (US - DVD R1 | BD)
We have package artwork for a Samuel L Jackson film which arrives February 7
Quote: From Cormac McCarthy, author of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and THE ROAD comes this searing two character drama about the choice people frequently make; to go on or give in to despair. Set in a New York tenement apartment, the story focuses on two very different men, a black ex-con (Samuel L. Jackson) who claims to hear the voice of Jesus, and the white professor (Academy Award® winner Tommy Lee Jones) he stopped from throwing himself in front of an oncoming train, The Sunset Limited.
What follows is a philosophical debate with incredibly high stakes – can Black convince White that life is worth living, that once he goes out that door he should not head for a return date with the Sunset Limited? Souls are bared and secrets shared, with Black's faith increasingly challenged by White's bleak but meticulously reasoned view of a world gone wrong. The conflict reaches a shattering conclusion that will leave you thinking well after the final frame.

Nice artwork, seems everyone liked it, I might check this out
This is the first time I even heard of this film from this post, sounds very interesting with shades of American Buffalo with Dustin Hoffman and Dennis Franz. I loved The Three Burials of Melquiades De Estrada and TLJ also masterfully directed that. I will definitely check this film out as well.
What movie ISN'T Samuel L. Jackson in?
Agree with the praise this has received. Two dudes talking in a small apartment for an hour and a half, riveting the entire time. It was a really pleasant surprise.
my favourite
All takes place in one location (based on a play). Amazing and riveting acting. It's pretty much an 80-minute scene that sucks you in and won't let go.
One of my favourites of the year so far.
Sounds like a good story, hope it does not have a stupid ending.

The Wraith is a Mark in Final Fantasy XII. The hunt can be undertaken after defeating another mark, Thextera. Wraith is found in the Overflow Cloaca area of Garamsythe Waterway and will constantly cast Doom on the party.

Hunt 04: Waterway HauntingEdit
- Petitioner: Milha
- Petitioner's Location: Rabanastre (Lowtown)
- Saw bill posted for the hunting of a wraith (Rank I). The petitioner is Milha in the North Sprawl in Rabanastre's Lowtown.
- Hunt accepted. Milha explains that a child has locked himself in an abandoned house, for fear of ghosts. The wraith is to be found in the Garamsythe Waterway near the entrance from Lowtown.
- Wraith defeated! Report to Milha in the North Sprawl of Rabanastre's Lowtown.
- Hunt reported to Milha. The child did come out of hiding, but it wasn't Milha's...
Bestiary EntryEdit
- Genus: Rank I Mark
- Classification: Ghost
Being an undead Horror, appearing quite suddenly in the Garamsythe Waterway to terrorize those who venture near. It is said Wraiths are the Coalescence of the lingering Regrets of those who perished in a tragic Accident during the Waterway's Construction. Many of those who died were Fathers, and their Thoughts for their Sons and Daughters cause this Creature to appear most often near Children. A Woman, worried for a frightened Child, posted a Bill for this Mark.
It is best to stock up on Antidotes and Potions before the battle to deal with its Poison attacks. Potions can be used to cure party members or to dealing damage to the Wraith, as the Wraith is undead and curative spells and items deplete its HP.
Immediately when Wraith shows itself, it will cast Doom at random - this can usually miss - until all party members are affected. When everyone is doomed, it will switch to physical attacks, which can inflict Poison or Sleep or even a touch of both. At HP Critical HP, Wraith will start using magic attacks like Dark and Blizzard.
The one strategic disadvantage of the Wraith is that once it is inflicted with Silence, it is basically harmless; it can only use Doom and physically attack. If one has got enough LP, getting the Remedy Lore which can cure Doom is of help. Otherwise, as long as everyone's countdowns won't expire at the same moment, Doom won't be too much of a problem if the player has Phoenix Downs. Because of the Doom it is best not to pursue the hunt with Vaan alone as soon as the hunt becomes available, but to wait for Basch and/or Balthier and Fran to join before trying it.
Defeating Wraith allows the player enter a private residence in Lowtown and pick up the Dusty Letter key item. This letter is part of a later sidequest and tells in which order the sluice gates must be operated in the waterway.

Partition Magic: Parted Magic 3.5 with ext4
Parted Magic, the live distribution with Gparted and other tools to create, modify and secure hard drive partitions is now available in version 3.5. And thanks to the Linux 126.96.36.199 kernel, the new version comes with support for ext4 file systems.
The ext4 partition works with an earlier Gparted version taken from the project's subversion repository, which according to developers, has been extensively tried and tested.
New programs include the use of squashfs instead of a 7zip archive for image compression, the xfce-screenshooter-1.5.0 and fsarchiver-0.3.5.
Among the updated software packages are rsync 3.0.5, reiserfsprogs 3.6.21, xfsdump 2.2.48-1, xfsprogs 2.10.2-1, and ntfs-3g-2009.1.1. Support for WLAN cards has also been improved.
A Parted Magic 3.5 download is as ISO image, suitable for CD and USB, now available. Developers request a small donation from satisfied users.

Simple innovation & fear
I met a really smart person yesterday. It was a stand up conversation after a business breakfast seminar where like minds often gather to share a few ideas before parting ways. In this short time, it must have been less than 10 minutes, she managed to impart upon me two very innovative ideas that I immediately wanted to share on startup blog. They may not be new, but she put a certain spin on them and I'm yet to see them in market. A smart brand that actually cares would find a way to implement them.
1. The Full Supermarket Trolley:
Supermarkets should have an isle for their most valuable customers – those with full shopping trolleys. Instead what they have is specific isles for their least valuable customers – those with hand baskets. What supermarkets should have is a policy that says if your trolley is full – you never have to wait behind a person with one or two items or a hand basket. Maybe you press a button for the 'golden trolley lane' and someone comes from out the back to help you or something. Counter intuitive sure, but this is the type of thinking real marketers do, while engineers and logistics managers chase efficiency based on non customer metrics. While it's easy to argue that it is all too hard, and that there is no quick way to scan all the items of a full trolley, it really is just old world thinking getting in the way of actually caring. In the age of 'self scanning' checkouts, surely every person using a trolley could self scan their items with a mobile scanner as they place them in the trolley.
2. The 19 hour Hotel Room:
We check into hotels in order to have somewhere to sleep and it is expected that this is largely overnight. But in this day and age, why should it be? With hectic business travel and strange flight times, surely the period of stay should be up to the customer. So why don't any 5 star hotels allow you to choose the 19 hours you need? It is because they are more concerned with the rostering of their cleaning staff than they are with their paying customers. The regular business hours or work day is yet another legacy relic based on a passed era. Surely the staff can be reorganized around the customers?
Both of these are simple innovations we are yet to see. Both are technically possible. Both would create interest and attention. Both would reward valuable customers. Both are yet to happen because of inertia and fear.
A funny thing about these innovations and fear, is that the person who shared them with me didn't want me to link back to her in this post. I immediately told her that I wanted to share her ideas with my readers and give her the due credit, but she didn't want it. When I asked her why, she mentioned that some of her clients where large supermarkets and she didn't want to upset them or big note herself. She said I could blog away, take the ideas….. And while I can see her point, and respect her decision, I can't help but think that the world (and maybe her business partners) are missing out on more of her wisdom because someone just might be offended.
Ironically, the same fear that stopped her ideas being implemented in hotels and supermarkets, is the fear she is suffering from. The fear of upsetting the status-quo for a minority, at the expense of making things better for the majority. In reality almost all innovations have a cohort of detractors, it's just the way it is. We should push things forward regardless.
Startup blog says: Ideas need to be free and shared, and if our sentiment is positive, nothing should stop us.
The truth about innovation
Recent shifts in technology have fundamentally changed the way we live. Consumer technology is now so pervasive that much more than communication that has been effected by it. It has changed our perceptions and what we think is possible. It has had important cultural and physical implications on consumer culture. New ideas change our physical surrounds and reality. It enables the re-birth of activities that got lost in the industrialised, world. A couple of simple examples include lomography, growing vegetables and slow food.
But all this technology has clouded our vision too. It has created some perceptions which aren't based in reality. It has made us cluster around specific technologies, to the point that they become the archetypal definition of innovation. The place that innovation must revolve around. The app, geolocating or other technology de jour.
The truth about innovation is that it is not about tech wizardry – it never has been. Innovation is about finding solutions. And solutions don't necessarily involve, technology or even products. It might be a simple new way of doing something.
Innovation is really about good thinking being put into practice.
It doesn't have to be leading edge, driven by industry or assisted by technology. It can be simple and human. And sometimes the best innovations come from ideas that got lost along the way. The re-invention or a reminder of a certain way to do things. Maybe it's devolution? Or maybe it isn't the 'thing' or 'product' itself that the innovation comes from, maybe it's the things around it or the people using it. What we want to hear from people is "That's a good idea", rather than "Gee, I wonder how they did that?"
Innovation is all about what it provides to the end user. The truth about innovation is that it lies in the process that gets us to a better result, something that makes us happier for whatever reason.
Mid Year Shame
At the end of 2011 I sat down diligently to plan my goals for the coming year. I had a list of around 10. Some of which were big, and some small but important. We are now more than half way through 2012 and I am ashamed to admit that I have only completed 1 of these tasks.
While I have done some things which were not on the list. I sent a Lego Space Shuttle into Space and got global news coverage, and started the Super Awesome Micro Project which is a new crowd funded world first project that raised $20k via twitter alone… I'm pretty down that I have achieved so little this year. The ironic thing is the only thing on the list that I have actually completed was fixing my Galaga Arcade machine as seen below….
Maybe the lesson from the only thing I have done in 2012 is this – start having more fun?
The ultimate innovators – kids
I'm starting to believe that the ultimate requirement for innovation is ignoring barriers. Not inventing rules that are not there. The second part of this thought is that we are trained over time to 'assume the rule' – when in actuality there is no rule.
I've been watching my daughter recently do little the things that I'm sure all kids do.
I play a game with my daughter where I show her how to stand on one leg. I don't tell her what to do, I just stand on one leg…. and of course she wants to do it too because it looks like fun. And she copies me immediately. But because she has only recently learned to walk, she can't quite manage it the way I do. So she without hesitation runs to the nearest wall, puts one hand against it to gain balance, and successfully stands on one leg. At this point she is very pleased with herself that she has managed to do it. Big smile ensues as she looks to me for approval…
And here's the kicker… I am pleased with her too. But not in a kid like condescending way. I am seriously happy with her approach. And here's why:
At no point was any rule given that you can't lean against the wall. She hacked the system and got it done. I clap her and encourage her. In this instance it's all about the objective, not the method. And the one thing I will never do is start to reduce her mind with rules that just aren't there.
What we should do with our startup is innovate like kids do. Ignore how the bigger, more resource laden and older incumbents do things, and just hack for a result.
The end of Fredrick W Taylor
Taylorism defined our world for the best part of the past 100 years. Even in marketing realms. During the mass media era, we could use tested methods to go to market with predictable success – so long as we had access to the right resources.
Rapid change and fragmentation is the new normal. While we are half way through planning, someone else will arrive and do it different, cheaper, better and in a way we never quite expected. Both in terms of what they build and how they spread the word.
Our mindset when it comes to startups and business (isn't everyone in business a startup now?) should be fluid and philosophical. It's time to drop the template and best practice six sigma bull crap.
It is very hard for a best practice to exist when something has never been done before.
Fan Culture
In the early years we had 'customers'.
Then we invented demographics and started using that horrible word 'consumers'.
We went on line and started talking about 'users'. (Sound like drug addicts to me)
I rather prefer the word people….
But if we do really well we might even develop some fans. And fans are what we should be aiming for. This doco below on fan culture looks interesting. I'd be keen to know if anyone has seen it. I even hear Sean the Sports Geek might even be in it…
And before you watch this trailer it's worth having think about the things, people, ideas and brands that you are a fan of and why. There are some nice clues in this thought experiment.
The truth about secrets
Secrets kills us. They eat at our souls and disrupt our emotions in a negative way. We very rarely feel good about secrets because by nature we are social creatures that rely and need each other to survive. Collaboration is what put us atop of the food chain and that means we must share. I'm certain the feeling we often get when we hold secrets is our genetic code telling us that secrets are not cool and generally don't lead to ideal outcomes.
So it got me thinking about the nature of secrets and the different types of them.
There are many types of secrets, but these 2 are interesting:
- Secrets that hide things we have done for fear of judgement or persecution.
- Secrets that hide things which are ideas we want to benefit from at the exclusion of others.
These are 2 types of secrets we should avoid.
The first one should be avoided because we shouldn't do anything dodgy, and we shouldn't be ashamed of anything that is out of our control.
The second is counter intuitive. Our emotional need to share secrets is our DNA telling us it will create more for everyone. A shared idea can often be improved, a shared idea creates a team to build it, a shared idea increases access to resources, a shared idea creates a market place and a bigger pie for all. Stealing ideas is not the same as stealing chestnuts. If we exchange ideas, we both end up with more ideas than we started with.
Startup blog maths:
Sharing > Secrets
What is evaporating?
We are trained to look for and focus on everything that is new. What technologies are emerging and how are we using them? What we are not so good at doing, is observing the things which are only noticeable by their increasing absence.
Very often it's the most important trend because it is less product oriented and more human oriented. Which means that well before we know who or what the new winner is, we will know who or what is no longer fulfilling our needs and is being made obsolete. In a rapidly changing world of near disposable technology the list of dying technologies is already long and growing. Life cycles are in decline and it's sometimes hard to see a future for even relatively new technologies.
- The remote control (being usurped by smart phones & gesturing),
- Local hard drives (being usurped by the cloud),
- iPod (being usurped by it's big brother the smart phone),
Then there's the changing retail landscape. Closing down signs will be the new normal for department & clothing stores. In fact, any product that is sold at a price and is available on-line, cannot and will not be for sale in bricks and mortar retail soon. They simply do not have a cost infrastructure that will allow them to exist. Add to this our changing eating habits (instant coffee anyone?) and the impending transport revolution (when we work from home 4/5 days a week owning a car may become an historical relic) and the changes we are facing are more far reaching than we currently think.
As Marc Andreessen said, software is eating everything… and a great way to see this in action is to drive around well healed suburbs and see what is out for hard rubbish collection these days. A cacophony of previous hardware and technology darlings, not limited to Plasma TV's, DVD players, laptops, iPods – you name it.
It's not just about technology, it's all about human movement, the new solutions we seek and our dissatisfaction with the solutions of today. Good entrepreneurs know what's hot and what's next. Great entrepreneurs notice what is evaporating before the replacement emerges for all to see.
The truth
There are many business models that are under attack. The landscape is changing and their future is dim. If we face this reality, the most important thing we can do is not pretend it is just a phase.
And if we are the disruptor, then we must continue even if the movement is slower than we expect.
I think Winston Churchill said it best with this quote:
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

If you have a minute to just stop by and say hi, please do.
Hope all is well.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm doing ok.
I can see the number of replies to a particular post but there is a separate column that says "Views" and all it ever says when I look is 0. Often times a post might not get a reply but the "view" count used to indicate the number of times a particular post was looked at so I could at least get an idea that people were looking even if they were talking. Now it just is quiet with no way of knowing if people are even lurking about looking.

Phase-Modulation Fluorometer Using a Dynode-Voltage Burst-Modulated Photomultiplier Tube
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 59, Issue 8, pp. 1049-1053 (2005)
Acrobat PDF (149 KB)
We propose a new scheme for a phase-modulation fluorometer (PMF) in which a photomultiplier tube (PMT) is used as a photo detector whose gain is modulated sinusoidally with a burst signal of period T and duty ratio 0.5. The carrier wave of the burst modulation signal is synchronized with an incident fluorescence signal. In order to modulate the gain of the PMT, one of the dynodes in the PMT was deeply biased and the burst signal was superimposed. Because the fluorescence signal is converted to a direct current (dc) signal by the PMT internal modulation, we can make the value of the load resistance of the PMT relatively large under the condition τ ≤ T/2, where τ is a time constant of a low-pass filter attached to the output of the PMT. The proposed scheme brings about advantages in sensitivity and noise immunity in detecting weak fluorescence in comparison with those of the conventional PMF. The combined technique of the burst modulation of the gain of the PMT and the alternating current (ac) signal detection alleviates the influence of the background light.

Vernon -- A late night raid by the Washington County Drug Task Force landed three in jail, on felony drug charges.
Arrested were 57-year-old Bernard James Longo, 39-year-old Tina Louise Stagner, and 25-year-old Santana Marie Longo. All face felony possession of marijuana charges, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Longo and Stanger face additional charges as well, including possession of marijuana with intent to sell and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
Authorities say the raid was authorized after an investigation that included several undercover drug buys from the home, and resulted in the recovery of what they will only say was a "large amount" of marijuana and controlled substances.
The 3-year-child of one of the residents arrested was in the home at the time of the raid and was placed in the custody of Department of Children and Families.

no, you wouldn't expect a patient to vomit blood because he'd pulled out a foley. two separate systems.

- 0Oct 26, '07 by StNeotserQuote from PRESLAOuchy ouch! Seen it done with a 10cc intact, but never something that big.Had a TURP pt pull his 30 cc foley out balloon intact MD had me reinsert and ask family to sit at bedside. A lot of bloody fluid pt he did okay.
I had to reinsert too, as MD said that if I left it out for any length of time the swelling might inhibit putting it back in and then he'd be in real trouble. He did OK too.
- 0Oct 26, '07 by Emmanuel GoldsteinQuote from graduatenursea fistula tract between the esophagus and trach would explain that, however blood from the urethra/bladder is not going to be vomited up. i'm racking my brain to think of a scenario where it could happen, and i can't come up with anything...my patient didnt have any urine output because of bleeding, and all of a sudden patient had coffee ground emesis. i'm asking this because i've heard of patient vomitting feces and bm coming out of patient's tracheostomy. :uhoh21:
just out of curiosity, what is the patient's diagnosis and co-morbidities? does this patient happen to have a history of etoh?Last edit by Emmanuel Goldstein on Oct 26, '07
- 0Oct 26, '07 by vamedic4Quote from graduatenurseone of my first patients in my clinical rotations years ago in the icu did just that, and yes, the balloon was still inflated. i reached between my legs...let out a moan...ugh...and proceeded to reinsert another catheter...all the while thinking "omg, this poor man!"...what do you guys usually do when a male patient pulls his foley out and he is bleeding where the foley is inserted?
i pray that never happens to me. bad enough a few years ago when i had my surgery (vp shunt replacement) they gave me morphine for pain...so of course i couldn't "go"...and they decide to do an i/o cath...no problem, right? that was until i saw the size of the catheter...i'd swear it was the size of my garden hose!!
needless to say, being cathed was no fun, but i was very glad to be relieved of 1600cc of urine.
- 1Oct 26, '07 by ValandaWhen I was in Texas and we had male patients (generally only the confused ones) who regularly pulled out their foleys we used a method similar to a Texas cath. Foley inserted through small hole in tip of condom, foley inserted into male patient's bladder, (no balloon inflation), condom in place over penis, condom taped to foley at tip, spiraled 1/2 inch tape up the outside of the condom. It seemed to work really well. We resolved the problem of foley's coming out with the ballon intact. I have not seen this done since I left TX nearly 12 years ago, but the urologist in Houston was adamant about being sure we all knew how to do this "just right" to prevent circulation problems yet keep the catheter in place.

Just to be clear, there was no heroin based Ecstasy pills found.
Meth is such a dirty drug... if u understand how it works in user's brain, u'll know the addict will no longer feel ever happy or satisfy because their brain can't no longer produce hormones that regulate one's feelings. That's a one fuckin big cost to pay for few hours of pleasure.
Same goes for heroin and cocaine...

As the executive director of the non-profit BioLogos Foundation, biologist Darrel Falk struggles daily to strike a delicate balance between two forces: science and religion
At a young age, Darrel Falk found himself living in two worlds.
"Growing up in an evangelical Christian household in western Canada, I used to think to myself, 'how did it happen that I was just born into the right religion?'" says Falk, now a professor of biology at Point Loma Nazarene University and executive director of the BioLogos Foundation, a Christian advocacy group founded by now-National Institute of Health director Francis Collins in 2007. Critical of intelligent design and running contrary to creationism, the organization promotes a theory of theistic evolution -- that God creates through the natural sciences, like evolution, and the Christian faith need not be in conflict with mainstream science. The foundation started as a resource for people like Falk, who "knew there was a discrepancy between what they were experiencing in church and what other people believed."
"We're not involved in political campaigns, or policy, or anything like that," says Falk. "For us, it's a grassroots movement."
To many (like, initially, myself -- a lapsed Reform Jew from Massachusetts with a very liberal upbringing), the foundation may sound like yet another agent fighting in the perpetual culture war between science and religion. The Biologos Foundation declares its mission to be "a spirited and gracious dialogue and a confidence in the harmony between science and faith." And it aims "to help the church develop a worldview that embraces both of these complex but complementary belief structures." The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, strictly prohibited from lobbying or making political contributions. While its funding comes primarily from a number of individual donors, the largest and most questionable cash infusion came from a $151,920 grant from the John Templeton Foundation (often referred to as "God's Venture Capitalist" or a "conservative sugar daddy") in 2008, shortly after the organization's founding.
But don't expect to see BioLogos commenting on the 2012 Republican primary, or making a push for Bible study in public schools. The goal of the organization is not to thrust religion upon the secular masses, but to aid evangelical Christians reconciling their spirituality with the natural world of science.
With his background, Falk is a poster boy for BioLogos. During his youth, Falk became increasingly skeptical of the Bible as the literal word of God. "By the time I was 11, I was reading the New Testament, where it speaks in terms of the angels coming from the four corners of the Earth," he recalls. "It was almost too good to be true. I remember saying to someone 'angels came from the four corners from the Earth. Is the Bible implying it was flat?' I was living in two worlds: the Christian world, I world I wanted to live in and was beautiful, and this other world where things just didn't seem right."
Falk graduated from Simon Fraser University in 1968 with a B.A. in biology. As an undergraduate, he took courses in anthropology, genetics, physics, biology, and math. As his appetite for science grew, so did his skepticism with his faith.
"When I went into university, the doubts weren't that bad," Falk says. "Through my childhood years, I had thought to myself 'the world is so beautiful, how could it have happened by chance?' I believed so strongly that there had to be a God. But as time went by, through grad school and all, evolution helped me lose my faith. I walked away from Christianity."

Covestor: Why I'm Bullish on Oil
By Sean Hannon, CFA, CFP, of EPIC Advisors from Covestor.com.
A concept I often discuss is how the primary trend of a market influences stock prices. If the primary trend is bearish, we should expect prices to cascade lower. When indices around the globe crashed to synchronized lows in November 2007, this served as confirmation that the primary trend was bearish.
As the rally from these lows has faded, some indices have broken to new lows (i.e., CAC 40 and Dow Transports) while others have refused to confirm these lows. Despite the terrible economic data and lack of clarity about how companies will navigate uncharted economic waters, the Nasdaq and Wilshire 5000 remain moe than 12% above the November lows and the S&P 500 is 10% above its November low.
While the possibility of a major selloff driving these markets lower remains, the large spread some indices enjoy between current stock prices and prior lows raises the possibility of a bullish non-confirmation. If the strong indices can remain above the November lows and rally to a price that surpasses the January peak, the trend will begin turning bullish.At this point, I believe there is an excellent chance such bullish action will occur. If I am correct in assuming that markets will head higher over the coming week and turn the primary trend bullish, the recession could end within six to nine months. As the recession ends and global growth begins accelerating, we should see inflation return and hard assets outperform. Such an expectation is the basis of this week's technical trade in my newsletter EPIC Insights.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The city of Martinsville's jobless rate remained the highest in Virginia in April.
The Virginia Employment Commission says the city's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was 15 percent, up from 14.4 percent in March and 16 percent a year ago. The statewide rate for April was 5 percent.

Jery, It does not sound like the Luzerne County Kilker Line I have been describing is directly related to your line. None of the names you last mentioned have come up. Was your earlier mention of having Ann Kilker, James Reilly, and Alice Gertrude Reilly in your database merely leads or is there some proven connection? However this goes good luck in tracing your line.
