We haven't done an interview in a while, and I'm especially pleased with this one because it focuses on an interesting industry: book publishing.
Maegan Chadwick-Dobson manages social media for Tara Books, an independent publisher based in India. Tara Books has an awesome Facebook page with lots of lovely photos of their books, events, and "the Book Building." The Twitter account shares interesting info as well, and Maegan is behind it all! We asked her about social media, marketing to an international audience, and more.
My questions and comments are in bold.
You share a lot of interesting updates on Facebook. Do you keep a publishing calendar or just decide at the moment what you're going to post today?
It's a bit of a mixture. On Facebook we aim to post twice or three times per week. Usually I keep a few posts that are not time-specific "in hand" for weeks when we have less going on, and keep a rough calendar of when I plan to upload them. As and when things happen around the office or in the wider Tara community we seize the opportunity to share that on Facebook. This can be anything from new furniture in the Book Building, a visitor to the office, or a book coming back from the press.
Having all those lovely pictures and designs to share must help? Do you find that your designs get a lot of attention?
Yes, I think that I'm exceptionally lucky in that I have such rich material to work with. As we print all of our handmade books "in house" we're able to share updates about the production process. The fact that we have in-house exhibitions at Book Building (our Chennai home) also generates a wealth of engaging material.
Interestingly, what I've found is that the most popular posts are always those that showcase original art from our illustrators. I think this is because it gives Tara fans an insight into stages of the bookmaking process that they wouldn't usually see, and also because the Indian tribal and folk art that we work with is so visually arresting.
Having said that, I think that every publisher (or indeed business) has a strength that they can work with in terms of generating material for social networking. It's just a case of finding what your niche is, in terms of what your audience is going to be interested in hearing about and what you have to share.
I am frequently ridiculed in the office for saying "Facebook!" every time anything of interest happens. This might be the office equivalent of taking photos on holiday rather than enjoying the moment, but what to do? It's my job.
Do you have different approaches or strategies for Facebook and Twitter?
Yes. We use Facebook just a few times a week, and we predominantly share photos and videos. While we do engage with followers on Facebook – in terms of replying to posts and messages – I'd say that on Twitter, engagement is our primary focus.
To put it another way, we use Twitter to have conversations and to meet interesting individuals and organisations that we might otherwise not have come across.
I'd also say that Twitter has been important for us in securing and maximizing press coverage. We share most of our reviews via Twitter, and have used the platform to reach out to journalists.
You're on Pinterest as well… but there's no link on your website?
Pinterest was actually the project of an intern last year, and she did a fantastic job. I think that while we're happy to have a presence on many platforms, we're wary of making it the main focus of our website.
We're actually in the process of fully re-designing our website, which has become a little tired. In-house we had conversations about what should appear on the new home page, and decided as a team upon just Facebook and Twitter. This was so as not to overwhelm the user on the homepage (the design is very simple) but also because as a small publisher we have to choose where to focus our energy.
This in itself is an important point. As is the case in many small companies, we don't have one person whose role is solely devoted to social media, or marketing and PR. So while I largely look after these areas for Tara, my job also includes assisting with rights sales, overseeing the production of our sales catalogs, some copy editing, and liaising with our distributors.
What social media platform do you personally like best?
While I am very proud of our Facebook page, I'd have to say Twitter, because of the relationships that we (and I!) have developed through it. In fact just this week I met a long standing Tara Twitter friend in person for the first time.
For publishers, which platform do you think works out most effectively?
Honestly, I think that it depends on the publisher, in terms of the type of books that they generate, and the material that they can share. It's hard to generalize. For example, I understand that Scribd is very important to Pratham Books as they share and distribute much of their material through Creative Commons Licensing. But it's not a platform that we have a presence on.
You're in India but marketing to an international audience… Do you find that challenging?
Yes, that comes with its own challenges, but it's not something that we find insurmountable.
I have bases both in the UK and India, so am able to look after the European and Indian markets. We also have a distributor based in London – Bounce Sales & Marketing – who have been indispensable in helping us with the logistics of selling our books in Europe.
In North America we are distributed by PGW, but we also have a North American Representative, Jennifer Abel, who does a fantastic job of managing our press & sales in that part of the world.
Social media certainly does allow you stay connected to international audiences – you can build relationships on Twitter with people from around the world, and then perhaps follow them up with personal meetings in the course of time. It's also great that you can time updates on various platforms so that you can ensure that you reach out to audiences in different time zones.
How do you get international PR? Do you just send books to reviewers and hope for the best?
Not usually! As a small, independent publisher we have a constraint on the number of books that we can send out for review. This is especially the case with the handmade titles, which are very labour intensive to produce.
We'll try to establish if a reviewer is interested in seeing the book first, usually by sending (what we hope!) is a concise but engaging email, with links to carefully photographed product shots and more information. If someone gets back in touch only then will we send out review copies.
We also try to build up long-standing and personal relationships with people we know are interested in the work we do. Whenever we're travelling we'll try to arrange face-to-face meetings, as it's so much easier to explain the work that we do in person. This is one of my favorite parts of the job.
Occasionally I do send out a book "cold" as such, but that would usually be to someone I feel should love our books, but has been perhaps been overwhelmed by the number of emails that they receive. I'm a strong believer in the need to smell and touch our handmade books in order to fully understand what we're about!
Do you read any blogs or sites for marketing advice?
There is not one particular site that springs to mind right now, but I follow links that appear on our Twitter feed to interesting articles about marketing and social media. For example in the last week or so I've read an article on the PR Breakfast Club website about the future of Facebook and a piece on Future Book (the Bookseller blog) about marketing principles for authors, much of which was relevant to small publishers. I've also enjoyed keeping an eye on the Markitty blog since I found out about it last month!
Ooh, thank you. And what are your favorite online tools – social media, productivity, or anything else?
I don't think that this is very original, but Google Analytics is an obvious one, as well as bit.ly for checking the progress of links shared (especially on Twitter).
What's the one thing you hate doing but still force yourself to do every week?
Does it sound horribly smug to say that I can't think of anything?!
No, just really… enviable! Thanks very much for doing this, Maegan: I love the inside look at what happens in a publisher's marketing office!

I was just told about your site and am thrilled that it exists. Reading through the posts, I find it both interesting and helpful to my work. Have you considered including an email function to individual posts so that readers can forward certain posts to other people?
To whom it may concern:
Would it be possible that anybody can provide me the original content of
Underwood's Prayer for Korean people wrote by Horace Underwood.
Many thanks in advance to you for providing me that original version in English.
with best regards,
Kyung-Ah Lee
Your site is a hidden jewel in Korean Studies for both specialists and laypeople.
I should have discovered it earlier. My great regrets!
I also write columns and news pieces for a few media outlets.
FYI, here is my recent one that appeared at Asia Times.
I look forward to participating in creative discussions with this site's writers and learn from our exchanges.

Hi, I too have been trying to find a copy of Horace Underwoods prayer for Korea
in English. could you possible email it to me as well.It will be good in this week.
As far as I have been able to tell, this prayer is mythological. There is no "original" in English, and the style of the prayer does not match other writings by Underwood

Three little teddies
These cute little guys were actually knitted by my Grandma who used to be a very crafty lady. Not being able to see so well these days she now knits by feel and counting. After Grandma knitted the teddies my aunty sent them to me to sew up. I also put their little faces on. We have lost count of how many teddies Grandma has knitted, but armies of teddies have been knitted in the last few years. My sewing up duties have been taken over my someone geographically closer to save on teddy postage.

Pan LHIN
In 2012, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care introduced Health Links, a program designed to bring health care providers together to improve access to care, transitions between care settings, and the patient's care experience. Health Links were designed to serve people who need the health system the most, who in many cases have multiple, complex conditions or are from a vulnerable population.
The City of Thunder Bay Integrated District Network (IDN) Health Link is one of five Health Links that will eventually be established in the North West LHIN. When the City of Thunder Bay IDN Health Link was first announced, health service providers from different sectors were invited to join a Steering Committee to oversee the process from development to implementation. The result was a collection of partners from different sectors such as primary care, emergency services, mental health and addictions, long-term care, and housing, who may not have had the opportunity to work together to significantly advance health system transformation without the Health Link.
To proceed, the Steering Committee collaborated to develop a business case complete with an action plan for implementation. As part of the Steering Committee's approach, clients determine the goals that will make the greatest difference in their health. A Coordinated Care Plan is developed based on these goals and adhered to by all providers at every turn, ensuring that clients continue to drive their own care.
In addition, the Steering Committee determined that the best way to treat complex patients was to consider the whole person, addressing the social determinants of health rather than focusing on a specific illness or condition. As a result, a Health Coach position was created to help clients navigate the health care system, support them as they implement their Coordinated Care Plans, or to address related issues affecting their health.
From a statistical perspective, the City of Thunder Bay IDN Health Link has achieved significant results. Since its inception in 2014, over 300 emergency department visits have been avoided due to the Enhanced Care Team Clinic, over 500 interactions between Health Link clients and their Health Coaches have taken place, and nearly 200 rides have been provided for Health Link clients to get to medical appointments, which in turn reduces avoidable ambulance trips.
But while this data is impressive, the clients' firsthand experiences with the program are a testament to the Steering Committee's success. In their own words, they described the Health Link as a "priceless," "wonderful" program that allows them to feel more "supported," "confident," and "heard."
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care – Health Links Explained video (click here)
As the Director of the Cardiovascular and Stroke Program at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC), Arlene Thomson's journey to bring a comprehensive cardiovascular program to Northwestern Ontario began over two decades ago.
She was the founding manager of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at the Port Arthur General Hospital in 1988 and later helped to establish the angioplasty program at TBRHSC in 2007. Strongly believing that the medical expertise and capacity existed to support more advanced cardiac services in the Northwest, she collaborated with cardiologists and community partners to draft what would be the first of several proposals to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for a cardiac surgical program, without success.
Undeterred, she forged ahead to expand the existing cardiac services at TBRHSC as volumes continued to grow. A second cath lab was constructed in 2011, and she worked with a multidisciplinary team to improve the quality and effectiveness of the care provided within and outside of her program. For example, the interdepartmental collaborations initiated by Arlene significantly reduced discharge delays for patients requiring a pacemaker.
However, as she continued to closely monitor health outcomes, demographics, and health system changes she found the need for a comprehensive cardiovascular program was still clearly evident. Arlene nurtured a partnership with between TBRHSC and the University Health Network, which ultimately led to the development and approval of a fourth proposal for the first Comprehensive Cardiovascular Surgical program in Northwestern Ontario.
The proposal includes plans to recruit cardiac and vascular surgeons to the team. In the meantime, partners at the University Health Network will accept and treat patients from the Northwest until renovations are complete and the program is fully functional at TBRHSC. It is anticipated that when the program is off the ground in the upcoming years, hundreds of Northwestern Ontarians will have to access cardiac and vascular services closer to home.

2012 has been a pretty good year for innovative and/or disruptive new digital music startups, services and apps. Here are 40 that caught our eye over the year, from A to V.
Ad Hoc
An umbrella music blog that rose from the ashes of Pitchfork's Altered Zones website, raising $37k on Kickstarter and promising to "value quality thought" as it looked for a new spin on MP3 blogs.
A genuinely big deal for music-making apps on Apple's iOS devices, connecting them together like "virtual cables" so people can squirt sounds between different apps to work on.
The former P2P villain returned this year as a scan-and-match cloud music service with radio-style mixes. Most intriguingly, though, it proceeded to get bought by cloud giant Dropbox.
Picking up community platform Ning's ball and running with it, Backplane wants to run socially-infused sites for stars, starting in 2012 with one of the biggest: Lady Gaga.
Boxopus put the wind up rightsholders this year with its combination of BitTorrent downloads and Dropbox cloud storage, although the latter swiftly pulled its API access over infringement fears.
Launching in May, this Chinese karaoke app signed up millions of users quickly, and thoroughly below the radar of the Western music industry. It was the work of Beijing-based startup Zuitao.
Chirpify launched to help artists sell direct to fans on Twitter: music, merchandise, whatever. Helping Amanda Palmer sell a $20 t-shirt every 30 seconds one night showed its potential.
Chromatik was one of a clutch of iPad apps looking to disrupt the sheet-music market in 2012. It helps musicians upload, record, annotate and share music – and was even used by American Idol's house band.
The latest startup with Peter Gabriel's backing is CueSongs, a clever sync-licensing platform focused on online and digital media projects, complete with a full set of publishing deals.
This was Turntable.fm co-founder Seth Goldstein's new thing: a portal focused on electronic dance music (EDM) with a brash mixture of editorial, video, DJ mixes and a novelty messaging app.
Originally launched by indie label Ghostly to run its own subscription service, 2012 saw Drip.fm used by Domino and Skrillex's OWSLA label as a way to connect with keen superfans.
Children's apps are going to be big news in 2013, and Gabuduck looks well-positioned to capitalise with a musical twist: it licenses songs for kids to remix in its playful iOS apps.
Another Kickstarter fundee (to the tune of $353k) this is a fully digital guitar with a slot for an iPhone running a companion app that teaches people to play in an inventive way.
Like Chirpify, Gumroad wants to help artists sell stuff to their social network followings. Armed with $7m of VC funding, it handled hosting, payment and delivery for creatives.
This iPhone app helps people build and share playlists, the innovation being that it taps into either Spotify or Rdio's catalogue to construct them. One of the first apps built using both services' APIs.
One of the stars of January's Midemlab startups contest, this iPad app wanted to reinvent traditional radio, suggesting stations based on a user's habits and personal music collection.
The company formerly known as ChartsNow.mobi bagged a significant deal in July to preload the UK's entire Top 40 singles chart on Samsung smartphones, then update it every week.
MyMusic came on like a gamified music search engine, rewarding users with points for browsing videos, gig listings and other content, and providing additional recommendations in return.
(New) Myspace
With Justin Timberlake as a co-owner and a slinky new design, Myspace won over a number of sceptics when it returned in invite-only beta in November. Its full launch comes early in 2013.
The idea of paying for an artist's tweets sounds barmy, but Pheed was a separate social network with individual subscriptions for livestream events as well as text and pics.
This was the other spin-off from Turntable.fm in 2012: a "hand-picked radio" app built on friends' individual song recommendations. Like This Is My Jam but mobile, in other words.
With a founding team drawn from Gracenote and Songbeat, Pipe was a Facebook-fuelled filesharing startup with music in its DNA. That said, making it easy to send up-to 1GB files to friends spooked some rightsholders.
Incubated by Hollywood studio DreamWorks, this was a neat social video app, with licensed music providing soundtracks, and a post-launch deal with EDM star Kaskade to upload backstage footage.
Pulselocker was a very-innovative streaming music service for DJs, launching with 1m tracks available to cache locally on Macs for use when playing sets. It cost between $9.99 and $69.99 a month.
Personal radio service Senzari rolled out globally, aiming to prove Pandora wrong and work within European licensing structures. Spanish deals with MTV and social network Tuenti showed its local ambitions.
Songkick Detour
This skunkworks project from Songkick has the makings of something bigger: a way for fans to band together and crowdfund gigs in their town by the bands they love. Watch for it in 2013.
Social music game SongPop launched in July, and had been played by 30m people by the end of September, with Carrie Underwood, Alanis Morissette and Enrique Iglesias all testing its promo potential.
Former music search-engine Songza pivoted this year to a music discovery app based on mood and context, signing up millions of users in the process, and capitalising on Facebook's Open Graph.
Sonic Notify
This startup had clever technology – the ability to deliver media to smartphones and tablets through sound – $4.25m of VC funding and a deal with guinea-pig Interscope to test its music marketing potential.
SoPost was another social commerce (SoCo?) startup working with music artists in 2012, associating social handles with real-world addresses to send products from Noel Gallagher and PIAS, initially.
Soundrop essentially built Turntable.fm on Spotify's platform as both a mobile app and Spotify app, enlisting several big artists to host rooms, then rolling out an API for labels to build apps, starting with David Guetta.
SpotOn Radio
Another way to listen to Spotify music in a non-Spotify app – this time it was Pandora being disrupted, with a beautifully-designed personal radio iPhone app made in Sweden.
And another innovative startup standing on the shoulders of Spotify – this rocket-charged the discovery and social features of the streaming service, and likely influenced Spotify's recent revamp.
This is the latest service trying to turn music discovery into a game – in this case, a fantasy stock exchange where you buy songs then see their value go up (or down) according to their popularity.
The Promo Bay
Controversial? Perhaps, but more than 10k artists and creators signed up to try to get their work promoted on The Pirate Bay's legal giveaways section, which has now spun off as a separate site.
Nothing to do with Sophie Ellis-Bextor's old band: this was one of Sean Parker's stealthy startups working with celebrities to manage their social networking activity – sometimes sidelining labels or studios in the process.
This Is My Jam
The antidote to the idea of 'frictionless' music sharing, This Is My Jam asked people to recommend one song they loved at a time, making the social sharing process much more meaningful.
Tomahawk has grand ambitions: creating a translation layer across all streaming services. Toma.hk was a good way in: a way to share links to songs that would work in a variety of services, not just one.
One of many services helping artists offer content to fans in return for email addresses and Likes, but this one attracted the likes of Lil Wayne, Drake, Pitbull and Diddy shortly after its launch.
Video app Vyclone takes footage shot by different people in one location and stitches them together into multi-angle clips. Ed Sheeran was the first major artist to benefit from its marketing potential.
Wow! Awesome list you guys put together here.

Roger Dubuis has declared 2017 the year of Excalibur and rightfully so! The collection is expanded with several exciting new models, of which two are the result of a new partnership with Pirelli. It might seem a bit odd, why would a watch brand team up with a tire manufacturer, even with the esteem of Pirelli. However, both brands have a lot in common, as they are dedicated to the development of new and improved materials. This is also the central theme of the two watches that they introduced based on this partnership.
Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon
Only 8 pieces will be made of the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon. It is fitted with the new RD105SQ hand-wound calibre with the prominent blue Astral Skeleton, which matches the titanium crown and other blue dial accents. It also offers a nice contrast to the 47mm titanium case with black DLC-coating and the strap with vulcanized rubber from an Pirelli tire actually used on a F1 car. All 8 owners will also be treated to an exclusive 2-day VIP program by Pirelli.
Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton
The same design can also be found in the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton, limited to 88-pieces. Unique about this watch is that despite its high-tech look, and incredibly refined skeleton movement, it still meets all the demands to carry the Geneva Seal. This ensures that the finish of the watch meets one of the most stringent requirements in the industry.
Excalibur Spider Automatic Skeleton
Different materials can do a lot to how a watch looks. The Excalibur Spider Automatic Skeleton, featuring the same movement as the Pirelli version above, looks totally different when fitted with a rose gold case. The use of titanium, as well as the gray accents in the strap, give the watch however still a sportive edge.
Excalibur Spider Carbon
Truly innovative is the Excalibur Spider Carbon. This is the first watch ever to feature a movement plate, bridges and tourbillon upper-cage made from carbon. The T700 carbon that Roger Dubuis uses for this watch is very rigid, which limits vibrations and thus enhances the precision of the watch. This Excalibur is not only technically striking but also visually. The carbon case features a distinct pin-stripe pattern that also runs through the skeletonized bridges of the movement. Combined with the red accents, it results in an eye-catching combination.

A roll bender is a piece of equipment that curves tube and pipe with larger center line diameters. It does this by means of opposing rollers, in which a pipe is slotted through and worked back and forth, until the desired curvature is obtained. Typically, the pipe is fed through three rollers in a trianglular arrangement; the arc of the circle is determined by adjustment to a third opposing roller. These machines come in sizes from table top to heavy machinery. Some are hand-cranked, and others offer digital control in order to repeat jobs in production processes.
A pipe, extrusion, or other solid material passes through the roll bender repeatedly in a bending process that gradually alters the axis of the material. This process preserves the integrity of the pipe without deformation to the cross section. Three or four rollers usually complete the task. Double pinch machines provide adjustable rolls against a fixed upper roll, while initial pinch types require the alternate bending of pipe ends. The equipment generates slight arcs to coils and circles in various schedules and lengths of pipe.
Techniques for operating a roll bender must take into account pipe material to allow for the pressures needed to produce the desired arc. Geometric arrangement creates a cubic polynomial, which approximates an arc between the rollers and section of pipe where force is applied. The resulting plastic and elastic deformation is mitigated by a spring-back effect after leaving the rollers. This is indicated by a given material's elastic compliance relative to its ductility, that is, the inverse of its stiffness. Some metals have higher ductility to elasticity ratio and are more easily shaped.
While bending remains a gradual process, advances in machine capacities increase production speeds. How effectively a roll bender will handle stock thicknesses and gauges of material depends upon the interaction between machine power and stiffness of the material. This equipment is capable of converting metal sheets into cylinders and cones of varying elliptical degrees. Round, square, or rectangular pipes, angle iron, and flat tubing can all be manipulated through this workpiece.
The proper roll bender for a given process is indicated by several key factors. These include projected thicknesses, widths, and tolerances of the target material. Minimum desired diameters also factor in, as small-diameter tubes can harden in multi-pass rolling.
Size of the bending rolls is determined by the yield point ranges of material and the force needed to deform them. This can also be affected by the face of the bend; rectangular tubing can be bent the easy way, along its flat side, or the hard way, along its narrow edge. In production processes, it is also necessary to assess the scope of production runs and job completion times.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Agile CRM
CRM de ventas y marketing para pequeñas empresas4.2/5 (345 opiniones)
All I need to work in one place
The biggest benefit that this software has given me has been to optimize everything that has to do with the world of sales and marketing, generating the reports I need to demonstrate in the company how useful our strategies are, what aspects to improve, and generate our own leads, all in a very organized way and as its name says "agile".
Puntos a favor
I started working with this platform a little less than a year ago. My job consisted (and still is) in generating leads for the company and developing marketing and sales campaigns from scratch.
Agile CRM has been fundamental, since it integrates perfectly with everything I need. I have my contacts in one place, which I can follow very easily. Its greatest strength is the ease of use and integration with multiple tools. Something as simple as managing notifications and alerts make the most of my time and organize my agenda in a practical way.
I can generate reports where the effectiveness of the different strategies is established. For example, the result of phone calls, mail campaigns, newsletters, and more.
I was able to import all the contacts in a very simple way and clean my list in a short time.
Another great thing: the mobile app and the possibility of integrating with other programs. Today I have it integrated with Bria and Skype, also linkedin and facebook. Everything in one place, is the most practical CRM platform that someone like me (who has just started and was analyzing options) has found, and I´m very satisfied with this software.
Puntos en contra
I think it would be convenient that in the future they made some training videos to explain how to correctly configure the automation tools, since I think it has been the most difficult to understand.
Agile is a Fantastic Solution in a Crowded Market
I feel like I am becoming a CRM expert. I have used and suggested many CRMs over the years, and I feel like I have seen it all. When I look for a CRM in 2018, I ask myself 3 questions. Question 1: Who is going to use these features? If my team lacks tech savviness, if they are going to be picky about the UI, or if they are used to a different platform, you could run into problems. At the end of the day, a CRM should be invisible, and it should be as natural as using your body. If you team struggles to use their tools, you will run into problems. There's no point in blaming your team if the tool is hard to learn. The job needs to be done either way. (Keeping a mobile option in mind is a good idea as well. Don't underestimate the value of client's won at a bar.) Question 2: How quickly will the system be up to 100% functionality? Every day that you team has to track client data on Post-Its is a day that you're throwing information in the trash (and hanging your Marketing + Support out to dry). Expect a month to get set up, but anything over 3 months is too long. Even if you're an enterprise, you can't afford to fly blind for that long. Also, integrations, integrations, integrations... If the sales rep can't demo a tool you use daily running on their CRM, demand a "no commitment demo" period. Most companies will try to lock you into a one year commitment, but it is perfectly reasonable to know everything works together in harmony. Question 3: Is this the right price for me? The thing about CRMs is that there are hundreds of them. It's impossible to say which one is right for you because in reality, there are probably a dozen you will love. If you feel that you are down to 2 or 3 CRMs that seem identical, they probably are... Go for the one that is priced right and ready to scale WITH YOU.
Agile is great on all these fronts. Easy to use. Beautiful UI. Easy to set up. Very affordable option. Love 'em. You won't be disappointed.
Puntos a favor
Agile is so clean. The UI is easy to use right out of the box.
Great for small to medium customer bases that use social media.
Quick and easy to set up.
Support is FANTASTIC!
Great automated features.
All the great things you would expect from a cloud based CRM: Customer + Deal tracking, notes and communication history, marketing analytics, scheduling, etc.
Puntos en contra
It's hard to call all of these "cons", but let's say "growing pains". Agile is still a young software.
We had some problems setting up links between our WordPress site. They were quickly resolved to 100% satisfaction, but they had my boss pulling his hair out for a few days.
We have run into a few other issues that I would call "buggy". Some graphical, some needing to refresh a page, but nothing has halted production. All have resolved themselves.
Amazing Complete CRM & Automation software: Great Infusionsoft or Salesforce alternative, for 10% of the price tag
As a small business owner, and founder of Bloominari.com, a digital marketing agency helping small businesses to grow their companies online through beautiful design, automation and marketing tactics I was in search of the best CRM and marketing automation software for a truly affordable price.
After literally about 2 months of research of various CRM and marketing automation platforms I finally decided to take AgileCRM for a spin (It was easy to try it, as they have an always-free lite version). Immediately I fell in love with it's interface, ease of use, and easy-to-setup platform. I previously worked with Salesforce.com and Solve360 CRMS, and have also tried BaseCRM, SugarCRM and many others throughout my business life.
Puntos a favor
- Super affordable for the amount of tools, features and applications it includes. Starting at $10/user/month for it's starter version.
- Great user interface
- Easy to setup and use
- Lots of native integrations with lots of web-based (Saas) apps such as Gmail, Quickbooks, Twilio and many many others.
- Integration with Zapier, which basically let's you now integrate AgileCRM with 700+ other web apps, so this feature was a KEY for me.
- All your emails automatically load from your Gmail inside AgileCRM, no need to BCC some email address.
- Lots of sales, marketing, support, landing page, and amazing features added on at no additional cost.
- Now you can purchase add-ons such as user permissions, triggers, additional automation campaigns and others without having to upgrade all your users to the next subscription level (this is something I requested, and their team listened and did implement this).
-Their tech support is great, they care, they listen, and they modify/improve their system based on your feedback
- Their team update the app every few days
Puntos en contra
- Their standard subscription is $30/user/month if pre-paid for 2 years, otherwise $50/month, without too many added benefits for this level
- Their starter subscription limits your marketing campaigns (automation) to only 5 campaigns, with 10 nodes (steps) on each. The standard gives you 10 campaigns, with 25 nodes each (much better).
- Some updates happen without prior notifications to the user, and sometimes changes the User interface too drastically for some features.
- Their E-mail templates are limited, but you can still bring in your HTML templates or use their WYSIWYG editor.

Hi Jaime,
Thanks for your appreciation and support.
Nice most-in-one CRM/Marketing engine for small biz
I need a place to store all of my interactions with contacts of all types. I need to be able to review a contact and know what stage we are in, last touch, next step, and simply who said what. Agile supplies all that. I want to improve my marketing outreach and I believe Agile will help me organize and systematize those efforts.
Puntos a favor
Agile CRM is purpose built (according to the makers) for keeping up with a growing start-up or small business. It handles the usual contacts, appointments, lead tracking and so on, but has a strong email and social marketing component. You can optionally tie in your email and telephony to Agile CRM to keep track of lead and customer interactions (though I have not implemented either at this time.)
They are fairly generous with the free level, there are enough core features enabled to allow a fair trial and limits on number of contacts, emails, even API calls are sufficient for a small business. Their free tier is actually not a trial, you can stay on free as long as it meets your needs.
One more thing, Agile has quite a few integrations available, among them Stripe, PayPal, FreshBooks, QuickBooks, and Xero. They have a functional API so if you are so inclined you can integrate Agile with almost anything, whether there is a widget for it or not.
Puntos en contra
There are a lot of moving parts, which is not necessarily a bad thing if they all help push your goals ahead. But it is more complex than many small business web applications, because it tries to do more. So it takes more of a time investment to begin to benefit from Agile. I am phasing into each component and I haven't reached some yet.
I have wished for a few more customization options, in display attributes - layout, colors, and also data - what fields are displayed in lists, what sort criteria,
Agile CRM is a Great First Step into the CRM World
Puntos a favor
I used this platform for a solid year and put in hundreds if not thousands of contacts into this CRM. I liked how many categories there were to define a lead or a contact, the system that you set up to see how much potential revenue you had to win based on your leads was helpful, and the price is unbeatable. I mean truly, you can use this platform for free for up to 50,000 contacts. That's pretty amazing.
Puntos en contra
There's a reason why I call this particular platform a good "first step." Agile CRM says it offers marketing automation, gamification, and project management - but this is a far from complete product. In the free version you can only create so many marketing automation blocks before it makes you pay, but even if I did upgrade I'm not sure the platform could handle the sales process I wanted to have set up. Something else to mention about this platform is there customer service. I'm fairly certain the CEO is their only customer service rep. Every time I had a problem with the platform (roughly 1-2 times a month) it was the same man who picked up the phone - and when my problem was solved he made me delete the Tweet I sent out when I asked for help, and then made me publicly thank him. I found that very strange. Overall you should try this platform out if you're just starting out, but upgrade to something like Infusionsoft if you're really looking to up your game.
Good overall system with a few glitches
We've got LOTS of information in here now, so at this point it would be more work to move than to just deal with the downfalls. Overall, my team has enjoyed the experience. I am a bit more technical so I am not as happy as they are. It has kept a great log of our consultants past and present, so in that respect - it has done it's job. I just feel like the cost (for 3 operators) does not justify the tool.
Puntos a favor
Tags make it easy to compartmentalize different customers and the path to completion.
Puntos en contra
Organization is a bit tough, and the separation of different features between Sales, Marketing, and Service areas is a bit disconnected. Creating a "path" for different actions can be quite confusing, and the fact that LOTS of actions (such as send an email when a certain tag is entered) do not happen. I think these run on cron jobs (say, every 15 minutes) and I feel like LOTS of the actions get missed. This is my biggest beef. The price structure is a bit nickle and dimey as well, and it seems like a big jump between I can do 3 actions and I can do 5 actions.

Feature rich, easy to use application that combines Sales Management & Marketing Automation.
We were looking for a solution that allows us to work out of a single system for both, marketing automation and sales management. We wanted to make sure that we don't have to piece that combination together using plugins and add-ons but wanted a natively integrated solution. We tried many CRM's and ultimately ended up with agile CRM and have been happy users since. As your confidence in the tool grows, you will be surprised how much it can handle and how configurable it is without becoming a too complex. The support staff has also been world class. Our requirements have always been tended to promptly. Last but not least, it is incredibly well priced, easily 50%-75% cheaper than other, comparable vendors.
Puntos a favor
- integrates sales management and marketing automation natively
- easy to use
- feature rich with a lot of add-ons
- very well priced
- great support team
Puntos en contra
- Small wish that I have: we have users that would be support users only, while others are sales users only. Would be nice if we could separate license fees on a role basis. But then the overall price we have to pay is still very low so that it really isn't a big issue for us.
The CRM that packs a punch and delivers the lead every time deserves some of the spotlight.
Puntos a favor
Agile is a diamond in the rough so to speak. It feels like the tech world is a giant popularity contest and the few formed a club and left some of the better players out. Agile may not be listed alongside the trendy inner circle but good for them they stand in a place of their own and the customer is made better for it. When I found Agile I was enticed by their Free plan- not trial but free plan with a good amount of flexibility for a startup to fully integrate the CRM for zero out of pocket. The product will scale with your growth and they have several paid levels so as you step up your monthly plan will step up with you and not kill your cash flow. I really appreciate the email automation and landing page builder inside the CRM. The landing page function is easy to use and makes quick customized landing pages. The other CRM systems are priced much higher and offer similar functionality to Agile and Agile is a fraction of the cost. Now, as with any CRM the learning curve may be high and indeed this was the case for my use of Agile.
Puntos en contra
Agile is not an easy product to just pick up and go. It will require some basic knowledge and a willingness to learn the program. The great news is that Agile offers webinar trainings and onboarding at no extra cost as well as they host a huge assortment of training modules and videos.
Moving from Salesforce to Agile CRM
I am replacing Salesforce with Agile CRM to save cost, create a more streamlined interface with our website and sales team.
Puntos a favor
I like that all three modules (Sales, Marketing, Service) are contained in a very easy to use interface. There are basic and advanced functions available without all the Salesforce bloat. Ex: I can set up a simple Round Robin for my sales team without having to spend a bunch of extra money for a plugin or dig deep into layers and layers of Salesforce complications to just get to the place to set it up.
Puntos en contra
There are some limitations to the integrations vs other apps but it does integrate with the big boys (popular software). The help desk is expanding rapidly, but currently, you have to schedule calls with a rep. The rep is super helpful, but sometimes there is a wait time.
Easy to use CRM for mid -range businesses
To run our e-commerce business, we had to choose between a best of breed CRM (sales centrics) and one covering every touchpoint of the customer journey. After considering and testing solutions like Salesforce, Prosperworks, we finally decided to go for Agile CRM, more likely to fit with our needs regarding the size of our business and the ability to configure by ourselves.
After several month of use, we integrated Agile with our CMS (WordPress-Woocommerce), Twilio (telephony and SMS services) and Clickdesk (Video and Live Chat).
We've contacted the support team twice, each time issues were efficiently solved.
Templates for Marketing Campaigns are usefull and watching video tutorials is enough to set up and personnalize the solution by yourself.
By the way, there is a lack of integration between our products database (in the CMS) and Agile CRM : importing contacts and deals is easy, but surprisingly we are unable to import products. Products have to be filled manually : it's time consuming.
Beside products management, we strongly recommend Agile CRM for its easy-to-use features.
Puntos a favor
- Many plugins available
- Suport team easy to reach and comprehensive
- Managing Marketing Campaigns with many templates and triggers
- Sales funnel is natively designed using deals in Agile : allows you to track and forecast sales in a few clicks
Puntos en contra
- Product Management to quote, complete deals or design reports must be improved
Extremely Worthwhile Investment - Time & Money || We tried them all, and picked Agile ||
Puntos a favor
FEATURES: Pretty much every feature under the sun for automation (even correlating user behavior on website into triggers for a campaign is an effective tool due to how well the cookies work).
ON-BOARDING: We've been able to schedule meetings with our on-boarding team who've been great in giving us real world usage scenarios and helping us settle into the product the right way and waste time looking for a way to do something or figuring out best practices from scratch. This is HUGE, very few solutions actually have something like this available to you.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Top. Notch. The chat support is great, they're patient and will stick around answering your questions all day, they even pass suggestions to the development team who actually implement them as new features moving forward if it's something you really need. Which is mind-blowing.
OVERALL: It's complex and takes effort to learn what the product offers and how to use it. You're going to have to put the effort in, or it's going to be useless. That being said, once you put the effort in - Agile CRM gives you super powers compared most of your competition (because it takes effort, and requires learning).
Imagine being in an iron man suit hovering above your competitors firing automated marketing missiles of lead-capturing/qualifying/scheduling sales quota destruction!
Puntos en contra
Very much a DIY experience, not enough 'sane defaults'.
Needs better testing/preview options for different campaign segments.
But these are something all these 'all-in-one' CRMs need.

This software lives up to everything we expect in a CRM and Automation software which we have outlined here: http://www.lmnt.com.au/business-advice/compare-marketing-automation-software - there are only a handful of softwares that can do EVERYTHING and this is one of them. If you are looking for a small business software to run your company for you then THIS IS IT. I am a business coach and I can tell you that if you want to take your business to the next level using technology then this is a great place to start. Good luck.

They are a young company with lots of room to grow AND THEY ARE IMPROVING everyday so whatever they don't have now they will surely have by tomorrow!! It is like every time we say "I wish agile had that" a month later they have it. This is an action packed software with lots of flexibility with other apps too so if it can't do something you can connect it with another APP very quickly.
Generous offer of features
agile has made things easy. Now we can conduct successful marketing
campaigns not only with our own knowledge, but using the expertise of Agile and making
sure there isn't anything missed. Have addressed most CRM features for the ease of our
clients to maintain a healthy link between the customer and organization. Have reduced
waiting times with the IVR feature, self service portal etc. generous number of features
for marketing/ sales management. All this for final achievement of revenue/sales
budgets. Achievement of customer satisfaction goals thereby building a loyal customer
base which helps in increasing market share through references.
Together with the above, a professional support team and the cost? probably about 10%
of the cost of competitive products which means a saving of 900%. And of course you
have the chance to experiment with the trial version. AgileCRM is truly agile. The name
speaks for itself.
Puntos a favor
I wonder if there is any other CRM with so much of features. Agile has taken care
not to wait until customers suggest including new features. I believe Agile has designed
this CRM with the customer's customer in mind. That seems to be the marketing
strategy of Agile in selling their CRM. They rather should have introduced this as a total
marketing management software than a CRM, as a CRM is only one part of marketing
whereas Agile is loaded with almost all features of an ERP.
Visible feature are a rich UI, Dashboard, ability to integrate with a host of third party
apps, etc. but the invisible is endless, yet user friendly. Thanks to agile, goodbye to
many separate hard & soft ware. You have most of it in one clever soft.

agile CRM giving all this in one package is that have to complained about.
Agile CRM delivered its promise and exceeded my expectations
Puntos a favor
There are a lot of pros regarding Agile CRM. To name a few: easy to setup and use, great features for all departments (marketing, sales, accounting etc) and very agile (can adapt to your specific business needs extremely well). Although all the expected functionality is in Agile, there are a lot of integrations for specialized tasks which is very important for being able to have visually "one system". Being able to have the free plan for more than a month was very important as it requires a lot of time to check and select a CRM. Also the free plan provides all the functionality you need to test and learn the CRM. Great support and the price is really good! It saved me a lot of time, money and because of it, I provide more professional services and I'm able to scale much more quickly and have control over by business.
Puntos en contra
The support they provide could be improved. Representatives with higher expertise in Agile would be good as well as offering support during weekends.
I searched extensively for a good CRM solution and Agile CRM seems to be best suited for our company
Precise segmentation of our users
Well structures users database
Well organized history of each users interactions with our company
Highly efficient automated e-mail marketing
KPIs for our e-mail campaign
Monitoring of users behavior
Detailed users profiles
Puntos a favor
The interface is very user friendly, you can start using it confidently in a few hours, a lot of integrations which makes it very flexible, nice API for customized solutions if you have a programmers team in your company. Excellent e-mail automation with ability to segment users based on their behavior (open rate, link clicks, website actions), very precise segmentation with the use of unlimited tags, options for push notifications and web events as triggers, very easy to use e-mail templates and also highly customizable with support of custom code and custom fields. Really useful history of every user's interactions and contacts in a nice timeline format. A lot of filtering options, which when combined with the export in csv feature are extremely useful.
Puntos en contra
for the time being there is nothing serious, which can affect my usage of the platform, only minor issues which are easy to overcome.
A very user friendly CRM
A good Sales CRM fro small & Medium scale businesses. It has a good interface and very simple to learn. Need improvement in Automation features and customer support.
Puntos a favor
- I have been using Agile CRM in my present company. It didn't take me long to understand the functionality of Agile CRM because of the user-friendly functions and a very simplified interface.
- It gives an option to add different tabs to the dashboard, which make it easier to understand the progress happing in the team.
- Can set the daily task on prior or schedule it accordingly and it will be visible at the dashboard. I never have to worry in case I miss out any task assigned to me.
- Creating leads is much easier in Agile CRM as it is integrated with other social application make it much easier to fetch the person details available on those sites.
- The reports and analytics are very intuitive and give better visibility.

Can improve on the customer support part.
Fantastic CRM, easy to use but powerful features
Puntos a favor
We have used a number of CRM's over the past two years looking for a system that can help automate our marketing efforts and also be an easy central repository for addresses and contact details.
We used to use Highrise which was too basic, and more of a contacts manager and then trialled Pipedrive and Onepage CRM. Although these products provided some of the user features we required they all had issues which necessitated finding another CRM.
The vendor is responsive to support queries, and always replies very quickly.
Puntos en contra
My least favourite part of this product is the new user interface they launched, it's partly persona preference but I preferred the old UI. The vendor provided a link that lets me use the old UI but I am not sure how long this will be supported.
It would also be useful to have the option of very basic accounts that literally provide address book access. We ended up using their API to push data to google shared contacts for users who don't need the full CRM feature set.
A very powerful and easy to use sales + marketing automation SaaS ! Just great !
Agile CRM provides a very powerful solution to both sales and marketing challenges.
Everything is gathered in one place. Benefits are just glaring : time savings, accuracy in commercial and marketing processes. It brings the sales+marketing automation at a very affordable price. A very good solution to grow fast your business on focusing only on extra value tasks when needed.
Puntos a favor
A very powerful CRM with marketing automation mechanisms inside. Possibility to create email scenarios, to attribute points to actions done by leads to check the maturity before contacting them. Possibilities of action are really impressive (even in the free version). I really like the possibility to design the landing page within the solution and connect it to the website directly. You can create a whole scenario from social media to CRM attributing points to leads regarding the action they have performed. It's absolutely great. It's like having the power of a big sales team in the hand of one person.

Updated review: big improvements
We have been using Agile for about 18 months now. This is an updated review. Last summer I got very frustrated with a technical issue that has been handled horribly by their customer service department. I was on the verge on switching to another tool but they worked hard to make it right and the tool has been getting better and better. Most issues are resolved promptly, a couple of my feature request have been actually developed and implemented so things are going in the right direction and I have decided to give them another chance.
Puntos a favor
- free trial
- loaded with features
- fast learning curve
- continuous improvements
- a lot of integrations
Puntos en contra
- I would love to be able to customise the look and feel of pages for improved UX.
- Reporting features are pretty limited
- A/B testing is difficult to work with
Great CRM with abundant features and good set of integrations
Puntos a favor
Used it majorly for Sales Activities. Great Automation options to follow-up with prospects, user friendly UI. Managing Contacts and Deals is quite easy. Emails reports, along with other reports, is wonderful. The Free version is definitely useful for someone who is just starting-up with enough features to get going. Form Creation is easy as well which can be effortlessly integrated with your website.
Puntos en contra
Their support team is slow in understanding issues. There is a clear disconnect between the Deals and the Contacts. Updating a Deal doesn't affect the related contact unless there is an automation in place for the same. The emails sent from AgileCRM, at times, seem to be flagged as spam.
It truly is a great program
Puntos a favor
Clients relations are managed, leads generated through webforms are nurtured and the process is automated. Segmenting clients have never been easier and support for the product is fantastic! Keeping track of tasks is an integral part of my daily function and the task management within Agile keeps me on track. Assigning tasks to alternative users are easy. Client records can be as detailed as required and one of the other things I do often is associate specific documentation to individual client contacts. Integration with 3rd parties are easy. The timeline feature is a gem! AgileCRM is truly a great product!
Puntos en contra
The only feature that requires attention is the automation. The campaigns and nodes are limited -
even on the paid plans, but I know that Agile is in the process of reviewing this.
Shoddy CRM backed by terrible support
Overall a very bad experience. I can't find an option in the UI to cancel the subscription — there's a pause option but not a cancellation one. The support is unprofessional and rude.
Puntos a favor
The automation/workflow builder seemed to work
Puntos en contra
I was drawn to AgileCRM while searching for a cloud-hosted CRM that could help me build a basic drip email automation sequence.
What I found was that AgileCRM is a buggy CRM that is not suitable for business users.
Countless have pointed this out, but let me add my voice: unbranded emails are not standard and require paying an extra fee. This means that unless you pay extra (yes, to the paid plan), every email you sent through the CRM will have "Send with Agile", or something similar, in the footer. This reeks of extortion and this hidden cost instantly turned me off continuing with my evaluation.
In addition, the India-based support team is incompetent. Everything is "no problem, I understand your concern" and nothing actually gets resolved. I wasn't able to add several professional SMTP servers and the team didn't even seem capable of understanding why that was happening (hint: your SMTP editor should accept usernames even when they are not formatted as email addresses).
My advice to any business user: stay well clear.

Hi Daniel, thanks for your feedback and appreciate your response. One of our Support managers has already contacted you. Agile CRM is an all-in-one software that is used by sales, marketing, & support teams that might not require sending bulk emails. After the first free 5000 emails, to get more benefits like unbranded emails, we request our customers to purchase additional packs that offer tracking features.
We have standard SMTP functionalities to support and accommodate all users. At this point, we're afraid we do not offer customized configuration. However, we have already raised this request internally and our engineering team is working on it. You can contact our Support team for more info.
At Agile, we believe in transparent billings, while canceling your Agile CRM subscription, we provide a period of 2 months to confirm your cancellation and preserve data. This is also helpful for users if they want to temporarily pause their accounts and billing too. However, you can get in
Calendar in Military Time
Experience is actually very horrible overall, but you get what you pay for.
My next solution will be Keap or GoHighLevel.
Puntos a favor
The price of the software is nice, the features from a glance look really good but once you start using them is when you are in for a surprise.
Puntos en contra
The scheduling calendar is completely worthless. I would never in my life send a prospective customer to schedule an appointment as the time is in military time.
As a programmer myself, this is rather a simple fix. I brought it to their attention and even supplied code examples to apply that could remedy this.
The fact that they fail to provide a solution to the calendar shows that they disregard their customers and are completely lazy to provide a simple fix.
Why even a launch calendar like this? It is very sad actually, if you google it, requests has been made years ago by several customers! This is like installing a door but not putting a door knob on it. This is like taking a shower but failing to use soap or clean water.
The company is lazy and could care less about their customers. I have bad service by other companies but these guys take lazy to another level.
All the other features are half-usable (exit popups, push notification, etc).... if they put a little extra effort into things, this could be a nice piece of software.
If I was to wrap what I think about this software into one word... I would LAZY.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for sharing your review with us. Our product features are driven by the inputs given by our customers. Agile CRM is just designed to solve all the three purposes on a single platform. This could a small feature and may not be considered on first priority. But, we will take this into consideration. We at Agile CRM are open to the user's feedback and suggestions and have been working on the same which really helped us scale to where we are now. Also, we are coming up with 500apps.com which is an ALL-IN-ONE Suite of apps and Schedule.ly is the one that can be used for calendar and scheduling. If you would like to try this new app, please share your acceptance with our support team at [email protected] so that we can share the same with you.
A jumbled mess of features that don't work.
I wasn't able to solve any business problems with Agile, as every feature I tried to use was broken or flawed in some way. From importing contacts from a CSV, to Facebook, to any other feature like newsletters and html templates.
Puntos a favor
The automated features, when they did work, were nice.
Puntos en contra
Pretty much every feature had some sort of flaw. From doing absolutely nothing when I clicked on it, to having some requirement that I had to call customer service for to find out. Their customer support is also a joke. After choosing your selection on the phone it will ring and ring then send you to voicemail without notification of doing so. Once you receive a call back, IF you do, you speak with someone you can barely understand, who basically told me that there is nothing they can do for me, their "teams" are working on fixes for my miscellaneous problems, and suggested I try other integrations as a work around. They couldn't give me an expected time they issues will be resolved. Upon trying their work around it wasn't what I needed at all. I was basically told "too bad" and to just sit and wait for a fix. Also, when you try to cancel your subscription it tells you that someone will have to call you to do so, and it could be over 48 hours until they do.

Hello David!
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We see that you have canceled your account due to some issues with Agile CRM and really sorry to hear about the cancellation. However, we have not are just limited to Call support, rather, we also have Chat and email support for immediate help. With Recent Implementation of Privacy norms, we are restricting on API's but our team is continuously working on Tickets. We have found many customers coming back to us to undo this cancellation request and thus, our team tries to explain the outcomes of the cancellation process and more importantly helps you to meet your business requirements by exploring the various features of our tool. Once the account is canceled, your data gets erased automatically and hence is an irreversible process. Also, we would like to you let you know that we are coming up with 500apps.com which is an ALL-IN-ONE Suite of apps including Social Suite and many useful apps. Write to us at [email protected]

In small buildings where ventilation is the primary mechanism for removing indoor air pollutants, interest in converting the resulting energy load on the heating or cooling system of the building is significant. The desire of making field measurements of this time varying quantity has led to the development of many approaches. The simplest one is called the passive ventilation measurement technique which typically measures the average concentration of a constantly emitted tracer gas from which the average ventilation rate can be estimated. This study relied on mathematical models combined with typical weather data to calculate how an ideal passive ventilation measurement would perform; simulations were then conducted based on two house types in four seasons and six climates. It was found that the passive technique significantly underpredicted the average ventilation and that the use of multiple tracers accomplished marginal improvement. Inadequate mixing was found to be a major impediment to the interpretation of the results and could completely invalidate the measurement. Not covered in this report are the additional errors associated with measurement uncertainty, instrumentation limitations, and non-ideal experimental conditions.}, keywords = {infiltration, multizone, passive measurement techniques, ventilation, ventilation efficiency}, author = {Max H.

December, Day 21: Short on subtlety
I underestimated the amount of energy this blogging-every-day-thing was going to require. Snow-induced malaise combined with end-of-semester grading (DONE NOW, FINALLY) have dragged me away from the computer. I hope you'll forgive the delinquency of the last couple days, but when the world finds itself covered in a foot thick blanket of powdery white and I'm in the mood to watch Christmas movies, I'm unlikely (at best) to pry myself from the couch to do anything. This was just such a weekend.
However, Sunday afternoon found me waking up (as from hibernation) and wanting a cookie. Specifically, I wanted one of the ginger sandwich cookies I baked for our party last week. So I peeled myself away from the couch and out from under the blanket and headed to the kitchen to bake.The recipe came from a Summer issue of Fine Cooking (yes, I agree these would be delicious on a picnic, but really, their spiciness and rich creaminess are SO perfectly suited to Winter, I'm not sure who thought to make them in June. Anyway, for the party I went with the recipe and made the filling a lemon cream. Yesterday though, I wanted something a little warmer, a little spicier. So I went with a cinnamon cream instead.
Also, (you could have seen this coming) the original recipe would have yielded a spicy, but mellow cookie and that just wouldn't do. So I doubled the measurements of all the spices and amped up the filling with some extra vanilla.
The resulting cookie? Not subtle. But just my kind of treat. These would be well suited to a cup of Bailey's hot chocolate, regular hot chocolate, warm milk (if that's your kind of thing), or coffee, just after dinner. Also, I recommend making the cookies as small as possible – bite sized would be perfect. As it is, my cookies turned out to be about a three-bite cookie, which is lovely.
Ginger Sandwich Cookies
with Lemon Cream or Cinnamon Cream
adapted from Fine Cooking
For the cookies:
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 4 t ground ginger
- 2 t ground cinnamon
- 1 t ground cardamom
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1/2 t kosher salt
- 3/4 c unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 c packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 c granulated sugar; more for rolling
- 1/4 c unsulphured molasses
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 t pure vanilla extract
- Pre-heat oven to 350. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment/silpat/butter (if you don't have the former options).
- Whisk the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. (I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to try the America's Test Kitchen 'reverse creaming' method to control the puffiness here…)
- Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla. Beat until incorporated.
- On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and mix until incorporated.
- Turn the dough out, shape it into a disk (think about pie dough) and put it in the fridge for an hour.
- Put some sugar in a bowl.
- Roll small pinches (~1 t) of dough into balls and roll in sugar to coat.
- Arrange the balls on the baking sheets about 2″ apart. (Original recipe suggests flattening the cookies with the bottom of a glass, which seems like a good idea!)
- Bake until the cookies feel dry to the touch and begin to firm up. Bake circa 13 minutes. (I have mixed feelings about how long to bake these cookies – I've both overbaked and underbaked them and every outcome has had pluses and minuses. The longer they bake – to a point, obviously – the better they look when cool, but they get really hard.)
- Cool completely on racks.
For LEMON Cream:
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened (I used 8 oz.)
- 1 1/2 c powdered sugar (I used ~3 c)
- zest of one lemon (I used twice that)
- Mix the cream cheese and lemon zest till smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
For CINNAMON Cream:
Same as above, but without lemon zest and WITH 1 1/2 T cinnamon (or to taste) and 1 t vanilla extract.
Assemble cookie sandwiches!

August and September Festivals in and Around MunichThings to Do — By Mike Richardson on July 25, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Munich is famous for its Oktoberfest, but it is certainly not the only festival coming up. In fact, many people prefer the smaller more local festivals. The reasons for this vary from having a more authentic feel to simply being able to get good food and beer easier and cheaper. As we mentioned a couple months back, local volksfests take place in nearly every town in the region at some point from April through October.
These festivals, just like the Oktoberfest, are extremely similar to county fairs in the United States with carnival rides, games, and a beer garden. The rides and games are almost identical from what you find in the USA, but the beer garden is usually several large tents (like the Oktoberfest), with thousands of people eating and drinking while also typically wearing the traditional clothing of the area (mostly lederhosen and dirndls). The food served is usually restricted to only traditional foods such as roast pork, schnitzel, rotisserie chicken, smoked fish, dumplings, and spätzle. These are all-day festivals which are family-friendly, becoming less so after dark.
Here are a few top picks for volksfests in the Munich area in the next couple of months:
- Pasinger Volksfest July 28-August 2: Pasing is located just 15 minutes from Munich's city center. Although this was historically a separate (much older) town from Munich, today it is actually part of the city. You can take the S3, S4, S6, or S8 from the Hauptbahnhof to Pasing.
- Volksfest Ebersberg, August 12-22: Ebersberg is located at the end of the S-bahn line 4, approximately 45 minutes from Munich.
- Dachauer Volksfest August 13-22: Dachau is a 20-minute S-bahn (S2) ride from the central station in Munich and advertises the cheapest beer in the region. This is a great way to experience the beautiful town of Dachau rather than just the concentration camp at the edge of town.
- Erdinger Herbstfest August 26-September 4: Erding is located at the end of the S-bahn line 2, approximately 45 minutes from Munich.
- Herbstdult Regensburg August 26-September 11: Regensburg is approximately 1.5 hours from Munich and there are hourly trains nearly around the clock.
- Augsburger Herbstplärrer August 26-September 11: Unfortunately not located directly in the old city, this is still a lovely volksfest held in the most historic of Bavarian cities. Augsburg is 40 minutes by train from Munich with trains running every half hour.
- Herbstvolksfest Nürnberg August 26-September 11: Nuremberg is located 1.5 hours directly north of Munich, however some of the trains take 2.5 hours. This might be a good excuse to explore the beautiful city of Nürnberg.
- Volksfest Freising September 2-11: Freising is located near Munich's airport and is a town much older than Munich with the area's cathedral located there. You can take regional trains or the S-bahn line 1 approximately 45 minutes from Munich.
- Rupertikirtag Volksfest in Salzburg September 21-25: Salzburg is approximately 2 hours by train from Munich, with direct trains running at least hourly. This is quite a small volksfest, but it's located right downtown and it is certainly a beautiful city to visit, even without the volksfest.

DCAN 11(Draft): Access for all - Designing for an Accessible Environment
6.0 Improving Access to Historic Buildings and Sites
6.1 The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) intends that people with disabilities should be able to use historic buildings and sites which are open to the public in the same way as everyone else. Following the introduction of this legislation a number of such buildings and sites have already been successfully adapted to make them accessible to disabled people.
6.2 The duties contained in the DDA however can pose great challenges to the owners and managers of historic buildings and sites, but with consideration and attention to detail, the Department believes improved access can be achieved without detrimental effect on their special character.
6.3 The provisions of the DDA do not overrule existing statutory requirements and any alteration which affects the character of a listed building needs listed building consent. Similarly all works affecting a scheduled monument require scheduled monument consent. Accordingly careful consideration of the impact of improved access for disabled people on these important features of the built heritage is needed at an early stage.
6.4 Where a proposal is made which seeks to provide or improve access for a disabled person the Department will expect this to be carried out in a manner consistent with the special architectural, historic or archaeological character of the property or site.
6.5 The importance of allowing people with disabilities dignified and easy access to and within listed buildings is recognised in PPS 6: Planning Archaeology and the Built Heritage which states:
"If access requirements are treated in an integrated and systematic way and a flexible and pragmatic approach is taken, then it is normally possible to plan suitable access for people with disabilities without compromising a listed building's special interest."
6.6 The Department would promote the concept of independent access whereby people with disabilities can avoid being carried, lifted or assisted. Wherever possible, historic buildings and sites should be as easily accessed using the primary entrance by disabled people as by others.
6.7 The DDA recognises however that full access to all buildings and sites may not always be possible and the duty of service providers is to take reasonable measures. In relation to historic buildings and sites the Department believes that a satisfactory solution to providing suitable access for all can almost always be found so long as imaginative and innovative approaches are explored fully.
6.8 Early consultation with the Built Heritage section of the Environment and Heritage Service will assist in resolving any possible conflict.
6.9 The Department would also draw attention to the following publications which contain helpful and detailed advice on the provision of access to historic buildings and sites:
- 'Overcoming the Barriers: Providing Physical Access to Historic Buildings' Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments (2002). This can be accessed at www.wales.gov.uk
- 'Access to the Built Heritage: Advice on the Provision of Access for People with Disabilities to Historic Sites Open to the Public' Historic Scotland (1996)
- 'Easy Access to Historic Properties' English Heritage (1995)

Gliese 581 d
Gliese 581 d orbits the star Gliese 581 about 20 light-years away in the constellation of Libra, and is one of only a few planets discovered outside our solar system that's comparable to the size of Earth and lies within the habitable zone where liquid water and, therefore life, could exist. It is the first serious candidate for being an "ocean planet," with the possibility that its surface is covered with deep bodies of water. In fact, a high-power radio transmission has been sent by enthusiasts hoping that advanced alien life may exist there. The message will arrive in 2029. If there are aliens who wish to respond, a response could be received by 2049.
