As the head of social media agency Nology Media, Leigh Fatzinger would sometimes publish as many as 5,000 Facebook posts per month on behalf of clients. It was a massive flow of content, and one pain in the butt to manage. Fatzinger's team tried to address the issue internally, but quickly discovered that the problem was much bigger. So, Fatzinger did the next best thing: he hired some smart technologists to tackle the challenge. That's the genesis of Prosodic, a four-month-old Seattle startup that's launching today at the Word of Mouth Marketing Association event in Chicago.
The goal, according to Fatzinger, is to create a robust social media publishing tool that provides big corporate brands with behind-the-scenes intelligence of what's working on Facebook, Twitter and other channels. It does this by storing a company's social media stream, including all interactions with those who engage with the brand.
The software also includes various forms of permission settings, so an intern, contractor or staffer with access to a Fortune 500 company's social media accounts can't tarnish the brand with ill-timed Tweets or Facebook posts.
There's certainly a lot of activity in the area of social media tracking, with companies such as Radian6 and BuzzLabs recently selling out. Bellevue-based Visible Technologies also just reeled in a $6 million round of funding.
Prosodic, which describes itself as a "predictive intelligence platform," is different, Fatzinger says. The job of Visible or Radian6 is to listen to what's being said on social media channels. Prosodic, he said, is designed to not only track what's being said but also predict how Facebook or Twitter messages will resonate with customers before they are actually published.
"This is the next step in the evolution of social media management, utilizing a publisher's own data and predictive intelligence to eliminate the guesswork regarding what, when and how often to post," Fatzinger says.
The platform is designed for very large brands, with Prosodic initially going after a target list of about 5,000 companies which have 500,000 or more "likes" or followers. A free version of the software allows a user to connect to one Facebook feed or Twitter page, with additional modules for typical customers ranging in price from $120,000 to more than $1 million annually.
"It is not a small business product. That segment of the market is really filled up with easy-to-use tools," said Fatzinger. "But the problem we were trying to solve at Nology is how do you publish to dozens of Facebook pages? And how do you publish thousands of content objects per day or per month and making sure that every one of those is getting its optimal performance."
As a result of the formation of Prosodic, Fatzinger has stepped down from his day-to-day duties at Nology Media where he remains chairman. He's also hired an all-star team at Prosodic, most notable of which is Alessandro Muti who developed the technology behind the company.
Muti is the former CTO of Ascentium, a high-tech consulting firm with $80 million in annual revenue. Before that, he worked at Microsoft where he invented the Windows Automatic Update.
Potential competitors include HootSuite and CoTweet, which are baking in permission systems into their products as well. But Fatzinger said that they are pretty much an "on-off switch" to determine who can or can not publish.
"We are taking it one step further, saying you can build your own workflow," said Fatzinger, adding that individuals can be given certain roles to publish specific types of posts at various times during the day.
Fatzinger declined to say how much money he's raised for Prosodic. The company — which has filed for seven patents on the technology — employs seven people.
"It is not a technology that is looking for a market problem," Fatzinger says. "This came out of market problem that said we need to have a technology built to solve the problem."

There are various types of marble available in market. Some of the popular ones are: Italian, Makrana, Simple
Each of these again have many sub-types . Price range is also huge. Marble Prices usually vary with place and demand.
For Example: If your house is 500 sq feet with 350 sq feet carpet area. lets say you end up ordering 350 sq feet of Marble for complete flooring. Here's how you will calculate the cost
Rate of a some type of Italian Marble is Rs. 350/sq.ft
Hence your cost will be 350 * 350 = ~ Rs. 1.20 Lakhs
Alternatively, you can also use Marbonite Tiles which will save you lot of money. Or you can have combination of both – Marble and tiles.
Now let's talk about labour cost. Main activities involved in getting new Marble flooring are:
1) Breaking ( if you have existing flooring this will need to be removed)
2) Fitting cutting of Marble
3) Mirror Polishing
I spoke to one Contractor to get rough estimate for Marble flooring for some city like Chennai or Bangalore.
Carpet area of 350 sq.ft ( a typical 1 BHK home )
Breaking Charges
Rate(Rs. 15)
15 x 350 Sq. Ft = Rs 5250
Fitting, Cutting of Marble With Material
Rate(Rs. 110)
110 x 350 Sq. Ft = Rs 38,500
Mirror Polishing
Rate(Rs. 25) 25 x 350 Sq. Ft = Rs 8750
Total = (5250 + 38500 + 8750) = Rs. 52500
Above Rate for fitting includes material like sand cement and other Material. Does not include Marble cost
For Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi here is the Cost of Marble flooring in details. If you are still comparing option of Marble or vitrified tiles, here is detail analysis of Cost of Flooring using Vitrified Tiles for Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Delhi

1 cup flour
1 cup mini* semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup toffee chips
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, sugar and butter. Add the eggs and vanilla, beat until fluffy. Add the flour, 2/3 of the chocolate chips**, 1/2 of the marshmallows, all of the toffee bits and the baking powder until thoroughly combined. Pour into a prepared pan and bake 20 minutes or until just set. Sprinkle evenly with remaining marshmallows and chips, return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted (not through a marshmallow!) comes out clean.
*Mini chips melt faster, but regular chips would work too.
**If you are using regular sized chips, you might want to add the chips after the flour so they don't get broken up.

"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in your shoe." Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future; something borrowed symbolizes happiness; something blue stands for purity, love, and fidelity; and a sixpence in your shoe is a wish for fortune and prosperity.
I wore an English silver sixpence in my shoe, a new charm representing our wedding on my wrist and a handkerchief from my mother-in-law's family pinned to my dress.
In England the youngest children in the family are responsible for presenting the bride with a silver horseshoe after she leaves the church. The horseshoe's U-shape is believed to hold good luck for the new couple. Traditionally church bells are rung after a wedding to frighten away evil spirits.
At Polish Weddings, the parents of the newly weds, greet the couple with bread sprinkled with salt and a goblet of wine. With the bread, the parents are hoping that their children will never hunger or be in need. With the salt, they are reminding the couple that their life may be difficult at times, and they must learn to cope with life's struggles. With the wine, they are hoping that the couple will never thirst, and wish that they have a life of good health, good cheer and good friends. The parents then kiss the couple as a sign of welcome, unity and love.
A traditional English Wedding cake is a fruitcake covered with marzipan and royal icing. The cake is made several months in advance and regularly "fed" brandy. The cake is sliced and sent home as a favor. It is believed that unmarried women who sleep with a slice of cake under their pillows will dream of their future groom. The top layer of the cake is sometimes called the "christening cake" and is set aside to celebrate the christening of the couple's first child.
My sister and mom baked and decorated the fruit cake.

"I'm on a horse." Arguably, it's the most recognized and repeated catchphrase since Beavis (of "Beavis and Butthead" fame) pulled his shirt on his head and demanded "TP" for his … well, you know.
You know that Beavis line just like you know, "I'm on a horse" is from the insanely successful "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" Old Spice ad campaign. Thanks to seamless scene changes, Harlequin romance scripting and Isaiah Mustafa's over-the-top bravado, "I'm on a horse" is ingrained in our pop culture consciousness. Unfortunately for Old Spice, that campy cache hasn't translated to increased sales.
The official "I'm on a horse" video is at 12.2 million views and growing. Last week, new Old Spice spots occupied a record-setting four positions on the "Top 10 Viral Video Ad Campaigns Chart," compiled by Visible Measures, an industry-tracking agency.
"The Return of the Man Your Man Could Smell Like" — in which dude's on a motorcycle instead of a horse — hit No. 1 last week with 2.9 million views on YouTube. Old Spice "Odor Blocker" —in which other dude (Terry Crews aka Chris Rock's TV dad) wears hot pants and yells a lot — hit No. 2 with 2.4 million views. The original "I'm on horse" ad held tight at No. 3, with 1.3 million views. And at No. 10, Old Spice's "Where Freshness Smells From" — in which yet a third dude is way too reminiscent of "American Psycho" — came in at No. 10. (You can see all the videos here.)
But sales of "Red Zone After Hours Body Wash" (the specific Old Spice product Mustafa is on a horse shilling — yeah, I didn't know that, either) have fallen by 7 percent in 2010, says WARC, another marketing tracking agency.
Awesome overload distracting from the ad's core message? Maybe so, Don Draper. "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" won the Film Grand Prix at the 2010 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. And as WARC notes, 86 percent of the brands that took prizes at events such as Cannes saw increased sales.
Feminist blog Jezebel has a few theories, all of which add up to a plausible point about how even the most successful viral video can fail in its ultimate mission: To sell the product. Here's the truncated summary:
- "The funny ads actually gave the product embarrassing or negative connotations.
- The women who were supposed to buy the stuff for their supposedly smelly male significant others were either purchasing other soap products or, more likely, not buying body wash for their dudes at all.
- A lot of us are still going to forever associate it with our fathers (and grandfathers) and stay as far away as possible."
Yeah, well. "Beavis and Butthead" probably didn't do much for the "TP" industry, either. But at least we're entertained.

William Hare and William Burke
William Burke and William Hare are the most famous grave robbers of 19th century Scotland, but none of the 16 fresh corpses they turned over for dissection in the anatomy classroom of Dr. Robert Knox at 10 Surgeon Square in Edinburg, came from any graveyard.
by Mark Pulham
Up the close and down the stair,
In the house with Burke and Hare.
Burke's the butcher, Hare's the thief
Knox, the man who buys the beef.
- Children's rhyme
It is dark, and the only sound is that of someone digging. As quietly as they can, the grave robbers remove the earth from the newly interred and remove the lid of the coffin. Fearful of capture, they remove the corpse and hurriedly get away before someone discovers them. It is a profitable and fast growing business. And the most famous body grave robbers of all are Burke and Hare. In films and stories, they are shown committing this dreadful act. But the films and stories got it wrong, Burke and Hare never dug up a body. No, they were far worse.
In Britain, the Murder Act of 1752 made it illegal for any doctor to perform a dissection on a corpse, unless the corpse was that of an executed criminal. In the 1700's, any number of crimes could result in the death penalty. Even petty crimes such as cutting down trees, pick pocketing more than a shilling, stealing a horse or a sheep (hence the phrase, "may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb") or being out at night with a blackened face could result in an execution. As a result, there were hundreds of corpses available each year.
By the 1800's, as the number of medical students began to grow, the demand for cadavers increased, but by now laws allowing more lenient punishments were on the books and the number of criminals executed had fallen to as low as 50 to 60 a year.
As always, with demand outstripping supply, someone would provide the bodies. Anatomists would turn a blind eye when the resurrection men came around with a recently interred corpse. Body snatching became a lucrative business and was so common that many graveyards built high walls and railings around them and erected watchtowers.
In British law at the time, a body was not regarded as property. Once dead, the body could not be owned or stolen, and so stealing corpses was not an offense. If the snatchers removed something other than the body, anything personal the body had been buried with, or even a shroud, then that was theft, and the robber could be punished.
The wealthy could afford iron coffins or mortsafes, a sort of cage surrounding the grave, and were moderately safe from the resurrectionists, so the poor were the perfect targets. With their cheaply made coffins, and haphazard burial, they were easy to dig up. In many cases, the bodies taken were from pit graves, a hole roughly 20 feet deep that was slowly filled with coffins over a period of weeks before being filled in. The poor had become worth more dead than they were alive.
Some members of the medical community expressed fears that this would lead to murder, the philosopher Jeremy Bentham even mentioning this in his private correspondence with the Home Secretary, Robert Peel. The Select Committee on Anatomy had received clear warnings that the amounts of money offered for cadavers would certainly lead some to murder. Tragically, time would prove them right.
William Burke was born in County Tyrone, Ulster, in Ireland in 1792 and moved to Scotland in 1817 to work on the Union Canal, leaving behind his wife and children. While working on the canal, he met Helen McDougal, and they began living as man and wife.
William Hare was also born in Ulster, his year of birth given as either 1790 or 1804. He also moved to Scotland, and like Burke, worked on the Union Canal, though there is no evidence that they knew each other. Hare moved to Edinburgh, where he met a man named Logue, who ran a boarding house named "Log's Lodging" in Tanner's Close, in the West Port area of Edinburgh, with his wife, Margaret Laird. When Logue died in 1826, Hare married Margaret.
In the latter part of 1827, after some time spent travelling around the country working, Burke and McDougal ended up at the Log's Lodging, and soon they became permanent residents.
One of the other residents was an old army pensioner named Donald. In November 1827, he died from natural causes. Hare was upset, not because of his death, but because the old man died owing Hare ₤4 in rent. Determined to recoup the money as best he could, Hare decided to sell the old man's body to the medical schools.
Hare made arrangements with the local parish for Donald's funeral. The parish would pay the expenses, and would supply the coffin. Within a day or two, a carpenter came, and Donald's body was placed in the coffin and the coffin then nailed shut, awaiting collection for burial.
Hare needed help with the next part of the plan, and he turned to Burke. The two men forced out the nails, opened the coffin, and removed Donald's body, which by now was starting to smell from decomposition. They filled the coffin with tanning bark to give it weight, and then nailed it closed.
Burke and Hare now acted furtively, as though they had committed a major crime, though in fact what they had done was not technically illegal. They first approached Professor Alexander Monro of the University of Edinburgh, but he had left for the day. Someone directed them to the private anatomy classroom of Dr. Robert Knox at 10 Surgeon Square.
Knox was 36 years old, a flamboyant and popular anatomist, though with a lower status than Monro. With more students than all of the other private anatomy schools put together, possibly more than 500, he had a pressing need for bodies for the dissection table. Burke and Hare asked if the school was interested, and they were asked to come back that night.
Donald's body was taken from where it had been hidden, placed in a sack and taken to Knox's school. They left with ₤7.10 shillings, with no questions asked. How easy it was.
A short time later, as luck would have it, another tenant named Joseph the Miller was ill. As soon as he died, they would have another corpse to sell to Dr. Knox. However, Joseph was not quite on death's door, and so the two decided to help him along. They gave him whisky until he passed out, then they smothered him. It is quite possible that they regarded this as a mercy killing; after all, Joseph was suffering. Knox bought the body, this time for ₤10. Once again, no questions were asked.
The problem was how do they keep it up? This could be a very profitable business, but the chances of another tenant dying, or even becoming ill enough for a mercy killing, were slim. Body snatching was too much like hard work, and besides, the bodies from the grave were not fresh and so would be worth less money. The final step was inevitable.
On February 11, 1828, an elderly pensioner named Abigail Simpson was in Edinburgh. She had walked from Gilmerton to collect her pension money of 18 pence. By chance, she met up with Hare, who persuaded her that, before her long journey home in the cold, dark night, she should rest awhile at his lodgings and have a drink. Glad for the kind hospitality, she went home with Hare and was joined by Margaret, and Burke and McDougal. Soon, they were all drinking together. The plans they had for Abigail were delayed when they all became drunk and fell asleep.
The next morning, Abigail was given more to drink, and too inebriated to resist, she was smothered. Her body, like Donald and Joseph before her, was delivered to Dr. Knox that evening. Once again, the fresh corpse earned them ₤10.
Burke and Hare were excited over their success, and more victims followed. The method used was simple. One would hold the nose and mouth so no air could be drawn in, while the other would put his weight on the chest, compressing the lungs. This process, which later became known as "burking," left no mark on the body.
With no questions asked as to where the bodies were coming from, and from the ease of which the murders were committed, Burke and Hare became confident and reckless. Their spending became more extravagant, and they were clothing themselves better than their legitimate income would warrant. They also became over confident in their choice of victim.
Mary Paterson was just 18 years old, and according to those who knew her, quite beautiful. Although she was described in contemporary accounts as a prostitute, this was not true. Her life, however, had been troubled, and at the age of 16 she had been admitted to the Magdalene Asylum, a reform school for girls whose life needed turning around. On April 8, 1828, she was discharged from Magdalene to begin what should have been a better life.
The next morning, Mary and her friend, Janet Brown, were in the Canongate. They headed for a local tavern to have an early drink, and it was here, by chance, that they met William Burke. He struck up a friendship with the two women and invited them to breakfast with him. Although Janet was a little hesitant, Mary was all for it, and reluctantly, Janet agreed.
Burke took them to the home of his brother, Constantine, in Gibb's Close, where he pretended to be a lodger. Burke gave them breakfast and shared two bottles of whisky with them. Soon, Mary passed out, but Janet kept her head, and when Helen McDougal turned up and began a violent argument with Burke, she left.
Hare was sent for, and the two of them swiftly killed the unfortunate teenager.
Janet Brown had gone to see a friend and former landlady, Mrs. Lawrie, and told her what had happened. Lawrie, worried for Mary's safety, sent Brown back, along with one of her servants. Scarcely 20 minutes had passed since Janet had left her friend, but it was too late. Hare told Janet that Mary had gone for a walk with Burke. Janet decided that she would wait for Mary, and so sent the servant back to Mrs. Lawrie. The servant related the news, and Mrs. Lawrie, now even more worried, sent the servant back with instructions to get Janet out of there immediately. There is no doubt that Mrs. Lawrie's actions saved Janet Brown's life.
Mary Paterson's corpse was sold to Knox, who was so pleased with the condition and beauty of it that he preserved the body in alcohol for three months before dissecting it. Janet would spend many months searching for her friend.
Up until Mary's murder, the victims had all been unknowns, people who would never be missed. Mary was different. Although not a prostitute, she was not unknown, and a woman so beautiful would certainly be remembered . . . and missed. Whether Knox reprimanded Burke and Hare on bringing a body that is recognizable is not known, but certainly, their next selections were a little more careful.
Burke had, at some point in life, worked as a cobbler, and as such had bought leather scraps from an old beggar woman known as Effie. One day, Burke came upon Effie, and she tried to sell him some scraps of leather, not knowing that he was no longer in the cobbling business. Burke invited her back to the lodgings, and she readily accepted.
Once again, as soon as she was drunk enough to offer up no resistance, the two men took her life in their usual manner. Once again, no questioned were asked, Dr. Knox had a new fresh corpse, and Burke and Hare had ₤10.
Confidence had, once more, made the two men bolder, and Burke took what may have turned out to be a stupid risk. Walking in the streets one morning, Burke saw two policemen escorting a woman, obviously quite drunk, to the cells where she could sleep it off. As bold as could be, Burke strode up to the policemen and told them that he knew the woman quite well, and knew where she lived. He told them that he would look after her and make sure that she was well taken care of.
That night, the two men shared another ₤10.
That June, an old lady and her deaf grandson were wandering the streets of Edinburgh. She was asking directions to a friend's house, and one of the people she asked was William Burke. The question told him that she was a stranger to the city, and she would not be missed. Burke told her that he knew where her friend lived, and that he lived on the way. He would be glad to walk with her. She and her grandson went with the seemingly friendly Burke, and when he reached the lodgings, invited her inside for a drink. She accepted, gratefully.
While the grandson was being entertained in another room by Helen and Margaret, the old woman was rapidly becoming drunk. As soon as she had fallen asleep, Hare was summoned from another room, and the old lady was quickly murdered. Stripped naked, they put the body into a herring barrel ready for transportation to Dr. Knox's school.
In the other room, the boy was becoming anxious. What could they do with him, they couldn't let him go. Although he was a stranger to the city, they had no doubt that he could lead authorities back to the boarding house. It was unlikely that the boy would take a drink, and so Burke took matters into his own hands. He grabbed the boy, put him across his knee, and broke his back. There was just enough room in the herring barrel for the boy's body next to his grandmothers.
The barrel proved too heavy for the men to get it around to Surgeons Square unassisted, so they maneuvered it onto a cart and used Hare's old horse to pull it. However, after a while, the horse refused to go further than the Mealmarket. A crowd began to gather, and they tried to assist the two men, but the horse was too stubborn and refused all efforts to get it to move.
Nervous that the growing crowd should start to focus less on the horse and more on the barrel, Burke and Hare engaged a porter with a barrow to help get it the rest of the way. Having surmounted one problem, another soon arose. When the bodies were placed in the barrel, they were freshly dead, and so entered the barrel with some ease. But the passage of time had allowed some rigor to set in, and getting them out proved to be hard work. It was finally accomplished with the help of some of the medical students.
Unbelievably, no questions were asked, even when presented with not only two fresh bodies, but one that was so young. Nevertheless, the two men left with ₤8 a piece.
In the latter part of June, Burke and Helen McDougal decided to take a trip to see relatives in the country. There had been some growing tension in the lodgings, and the women did not like each other very much. Before they left, according to Burke, Margaret Laird made a suggestion that Burke no doubt found worrying. She urged Burke to murder Helen while they were away. Burke refused.
When he and Helen returned, they found that things had changed. Before they left the Hares were strapped for cash, money was tight and they were in the process of pawning some of their belongings. But now, the money problems seemed to have vanished. It was clear to them that Hare had been "burking" on his own, and had not shared the proceeds with his partner in crime, a clear violation of their agreement.
Hare denied it all, but Burke paid a visit to Knox's school, and his suspicions were confirmed when he was told that Hare had supplied a corpse. The two men argued and came to blows. With this break in the agreement, and probably remembering Margaret trying to get him to murder Helen, the Burke and Helen left the lodging and moved to the home of John Broggan, the husband of Burke's cousin. Although Burke and Hare would continue to be partners in crime, they would not live under the same roof as them.
The Broggan's had hired a washerwoman named Ostler, a recent widow forced back into employment. Burke asked her to take a drink with him, and she accepted. Soon, she was in high spirits, singing, and drinking some more. When she began to get drowsy, Hare came around and between them they smothered the woman. She was hidden in a box until her remains could be taken to Knox. For Mrs. Ostler, the two men received ₤8. It was now a sign of their reckless behavior that Burke and Hare were willing to murder outside of the safety of their home.
Another visitor to Edinburgh soon became their next victim. Unlike any of the other victims, they didn't have to go looking for her, she came to them. Ann McDougal came to Edinburgh to visit her cousin, Helen. Despite family ties, she too would become a fresh corpse for the dissecting table. Burke seemed a little more reluctant with Ann, seeing as she was a friend and related to Helen. It fell upon Hare to do most of the work, though Burke did join in. Ann was taken to Knox in a trunk supplied by Knox's school, and they were paid ₤10.
Once again, Burke and Hare started to become overconfident and take risks. Mary Haldane was an elderly prostitute who was well known in the area. She was certainly known to Burke and Hare, and even, at one time, lived at Log's Lodging. According to reports, Burke had long considered Haldane as a suitable victim, and one day he bumped into her when she was particularly vulnerable.
She was feeling the effects of a long drinking session, and was grateful to the well dressed man who offered a drink to her. She went with him to the lodging, having met Hare along the way. Within a short space of time, Haldane was completely helpless, and Knox had a new corpse for the students to observe.
Peggy Haldane was old Mary's daughter, and she grew worried about her mother. Peggy began asking around, and very soon, a grocer by the name of David Rymer mentioned seeing Mary with Hare a few days before.
Peggy went to Logs to look for her mother. McDougal and Laird denied that Mary had been there, becoming more indignant at the suggestion that they would allow a common prostitute into their home. Hare, seeing that this argument was not going to work, stepped in to calm things down. He agreed that Mary had been there, but she had left. In what must have seemed the spirit of friendship, Hare offered Peggy a drink, and then another. Soon, Peggy and her mother were reunited at Dr. Knox's anatomy school.
By now, questions were being asked on the street, people had noticed that some familiar faces were missing. Yet no-one went to the authorities. Burke and Hare seemed oblivious to the dangers they were placing themselves in. Rather than be cautious and pick their next victim with care, they instead picked the highest profile victim so far – "Daft Jamie" Wilson.
James Wilson was 18 years old, very well known, and very well loved. His father had died when Jamie was 12, and as his mother worked, Jamie spent the days wandering the streets. One report of the period described him as "a quiet, harmless being, and gave no person the smallest offense whatever; he was such a simpleton that he would not fight to defend himself."
He and his mother had recently had a falling out, and Jamie had taken to sleeping wherever he could. People would feed him and he managed to get by on the kindness of the people around him. Children loved him, he made them laugh, and he was a familiar sight wandering through the streets of West Port. Jamie Wilson was popular, well liked, easily missed, and had a club foot that would make him instantly recognizable. All of which makes him a surprising choice for a victim.
In October 1828, according to sources, it was Margaret Laird who targeted Jamie. He was out looking for his mother, and Margaret told him she knew where she was. Jamie followed along and she led him back to the lodgings. Hare welcomed the guest and urged him to have a drink. But, although Jamie drank once in a while, he didn't like to be drunk, and at first he refused. Soon though, he had a drink. In the meantime, Margaret went off to get Burke.
Burke and Hare managed to get Jamie into the little room that they used, and the drinks that Jamie had taken were proving to be effective and he lay down. But Jamie was no pushover. He was young and strong, and he had not drunk enough to make him insensible.
Burke was impatient and could wait no longer. He launched himself on Jamie, and almost immediately, Jamie began to fight back. He threw Burke off, and Burke, angered, attacked again. But he was no match for Jamie.
During this, Hare just stood and watched, and it was only when Burke threatened to stab him that Hare joined in. With both Hare and Burke now fighting him, Jamie stood no chance. Soon, he felt his nose and mouth close off, while Burke lay across his body to keep it still.
The body was placed in a chest and taken to Knox's rooms, where it was sold for ₤10.
Once again, Knox asked no questions about where they got the body, but he had to have known who it was, and certainly any of his students would have recognized Jamie. In addition, the body had to have shown the markings of a fight, making it even more suspicious. A colleague of Knox, Dr. William Ferguson, believed that he recognized Jamie's body, with its distinctive deformed foot. Knox quite firmly denied that it was "Daft Jamie," yet according to reports, when the anatomy lesson began, the first place Knox dissected was the face and the foot.
Jamie's death should have been the one to seal Burke and Hare's fate, but they had managed, once again, to escape detection. But things were about to go wrong for the pair.
On the morning of August 31, 1828, William Burke was in Rymer's grocery store, taking a drink, when Mary Docherty walked in. Mary, who also went by the names of Madgy or Majory Campbell, was an elderly Irish woman who had travelled from Glasgow to Edinburgh in search of her son. Burke, always on the lookout for potential victims, struck up a conversation with her. Noting her accent, he asked what her name was and what part of Ireland she came from.
Mary told Burke that he name was Docherty, and she was from Innisowen. Burke said that his mother was named Docherty, and that she too was from Innisowen, and hinted that they must be related in some way. He invited her back to his lodging, and Mary, delighted in meeting such a kind gentleman and a possible relation, happily agreed.
The Burke's had two lodgers at the time, James and Ann Gray. They, along with Helen McDougal, welcomed Mary warmly, and while Mary was entertained, Burke went in search of his partner. Once both men were back at the lodging, preparations were made to celebrate Halloween that night.
All they had to do now was to get rid of the Grays. Burke told them that Mary was a distant relative, which their accents and the woman's attitude toward Burke seemed to suggest was true. He explained that Mary needed somewhere to stay for the night, and it would be better if she stayed with a relative. The Gray's thought this was understandable, and it was therefore proposed that Mary should stay the night in the room the Gray's were occupying, and they could move, temporarily, to Log's and stay with the Hare's. James and Ann agreed, and late that night, they left. Mary's fate was sealed.
The partying carried on until, sometime between 11 p.m. and midnight, neighbors heard shouting, and a woman's voice cry out "Murder!" One neighbor ran for the police, but with it being Halloween and the police busy elsewhere, there were none to be found. By the time he returned, everything had become quiet, and he believed that the crisis was over. It was – Mary Docherty was dead.
The next morning, the Gray's returned and noticing that Mary was not there, began asking difficult questions. Helen told the couple that there had been an argument when Mary started to become overly friendly with Burke, and so she had been thrown out. This may have been believed, but whatever suspicions they may have had were revived once more when Ann went to get some stockings from the bed. Burke shouted for her to stay away from the bed, and when she went near the bed again to get some potatoes from the nearby sack, he shouted at her again.
The Grays' suspicions were now firmly aroused, and soon, an opportunity came to test them. They were left in the room when Burke and Helen went out for a short time. It was long enough for Ann to take a peek under the bed. She saw a woman's arm, and James was called over. Both took a closer look and discovered the naked body of the woman they were partying with only the night before.
Horrified, they ran from the lodgings and encountered Helen, who was returning home. They told her they knew about the body, and Helen began to panic. She begged them not to say anything, and even offered them ₤10 a week to keep their mouths shut. The Gray's, already outraged, went to the police.
While they were gone, Helen got Margaret, and both women sought out their husbands to warn them. The four acted fast, and by the time the police arrived that night, the body was gone, the men ₤10 better off, and a story had been concocted for the authorities.
The police officer, Sergeant-Major John Fisher was of the opinion that James Gray may have been trying to cause a problem for his ex-landlord, but nevertheless asked about the woman. Burke told him that she went away at around 7 o'clock that morning, and there was a witness to this fact, William Hare.
Fisher later asked Helen the same question, and she also said that the woman had left at 7 o'clock. But Burke and Helen had not rehearsed their story enough. Helen said it was seven o'clock at night. The suspicious 12-hour difference was enough for Fisher to bring them both in for further questioning. A neighbor reported to the police that two men were seen leaving the house before the police arrived, carrying with them a tea chest. An anonymous tip led them to Knox's school.
The next morning, November 2, the police arrived at Knox's and found a box. Inside was the body of a woman. James Gray was sent for and he identified the body as that of Mary Docherty. Burke and Helen were arrested and police were dispatched to Log's Lodgings to bring in William Hare and Margaret Laird for questioning.
News of the murder and arrests soon spread, and a brief report appeared in the Monday, November 3 edition of the Edinburgh Evening Courant.
EXTRAORDINARY OCCURENCE.-An old woman, of the name of Campbell, from Ireland, came to Edinburgh some days ago, in search of a son, whom she found, and who afterwards went out of town in search of work. She took up her lodgings on Friday in the house of a man named Burt or Burke, in the West Port. It appears there had been a merry-making in Burke's that night; at least the noise of music and dancing was heard, and it is believed the glass circulated pretty freely among the party. The old woman, it is said, with reluctance joined in the mirth, and also partook of the liquor, and was to sleep on straw alongside of Burke's bed. During the night shrieks were heard; but the neighbours paid no attention, as such sounds were not unusual in the house. In the morning, however, a female, on going into Burke's, observed the old woman lying as if dead, some of the straw being above her. She did not say anything, or raise any alarm; but in the evening, circumstances transpired which led to a belief that all was not right, for, by this time, the body had been removed out of the house, and, it was suspected, had been sold to a public lecturer. Information was conveyed to the police, and the whole parties taken into custody. After a search, the body was found yesterday in the lecture room of a respectable practitioner, who, the instant he was informed of the circumstance, not only gave it up, but afforded every information in his power. The body is now in the police office, and will be examined by medical gentlemen in the course of this day. There are some very strong and singular circumstances connected with the case, which have given rise to suspicions.
An autopsy was performed on Mary Docherty and she was found to have died from suffocation. However, whether her death was by accident or by design, the autopsy couldn't say. There was no direct evidence linking Burke and Hare to the death.
The four were questioned repeatedly, and their accounts varied wildly, having had no time to rehearse their alibis. But there were no eyewitnesses, and with the circumstantial evidence so weak, the Lord Advocate was having a difficult time with the prosecution.
In the meantime, public outrage was growing. On November 6, the Edinburgh Evening Courant reported: "A great number of rumours have gone abroad of individuals having of late disappeared in an unaccountable manner." The report mentioned a "sort of half-witted lad, called 'Daft Jamie.'" The outrage was not only directed at the accused, but also at Dr. Knox and his school, whom the public saw as being equally responsible for the deaths.
With the news of the arrests, people began to come forward, including Janet Brown who told of the disappearance of her friend, Mary Paterson. Neighbors also came forward with tales of suspicious behavior. The police made a search of Log's Lodging where clothing and other items were found. The clothing was identified by Janet Brown as belonging to Mary Paterson. Other items and clothing were identified as belonging to Mary Docherty and James Wilson.
Possibly because Burke was the one who brought Mary Docherty back to the lodgings, he was thought to be the leader of the team, and so William Hare was offered a deal. Turn King's evidence against Burke and Helen McDougal, and he and Margaret would receive immunity.
Hare wasn't stupid, and immediately agreed. Burke was charged with the murders of James Wilson and Mary Paterson, and both Burke and Helen were charged with the murder of Mary Docherty. William Hare and Margaret Laird were not charged at all.
The trial began on Christmas Eve, 1828. William Hare and Margaret Laird testified that Burke and Helen were the main participants in the killings. Other witnesses testified on how some of the victims were seen in the company of Helen or Burke not long before they disappeared. The trial lasted one day.
On Christmas morning, the case went to the jury. Less than an hour passed before they were back. Burke was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to death. Helen was found not proven, a verdict that is uniquely Scots, and means that the case has not been proved to find the defendant guilty, but the jury is not convinced of the defendants innocence enough to bring in a verdict of not guilty.
Hare had lucked out. Although Hare and his wife had been granted immunity, it was only for the crimes for which Burke and Helen had been charged. They could still be charged with any other murders. However, even if they were charged, the case could never been proven. The only evidence would have had to come from Burke, who would probably have jumped at the chance to get back at Hare and his wife. But, Burke was now banned as a witness because he was a convicted murderer.
Although Helen was free to go, she was held at Calton Prison until the next day, the justifiable fear being that the crowds that surrounded the courthouse would attack her. When she was released the next day, she went back to the house she had shared with Burke. If she hoped to live a normal, peaceful life, that hope was short lived.
By the next night, she was found there by an enraged crowd and the police had to come and aid in her escape. The police escorted her to a watch house where, even there, she was not safe. Living in Edinburgh would clearly not be possible.
Helen moved to England, but even there she was well known enough to make it necessary for the police to protect her from angry crowds. At this point, she disappeared, no one sure where she went, although rumor states that she moved to Australia and supposedly died in a house fire in 1868. However, a broadside, in the National Library of Scotland, written around 1829 tells of Helen's death at the hands of a group of workers at Deanston Mills, near Doune, that recognized her. Whether this is an accurate report is not known.
Margaret Laird was kept in jail until January 19, most likely for the same reason Helen was held. She moved to Glasgow and Greenock, where angry crowds attacked her. It is believed that she eventually moved back to her native Ireland.
Jamie Wilson's mother tried, unsuccessfully, to bring a separate case against William Hare for the murder of her son, but she was unsuccessful. His immunity from prosecution was enough to prevent this. Released on February 5, Hare immediately fled Edinburgh and was last seen in Carlisle, England. From there he vanishes into history. Tales of him moving to London to become a beggar or of him being captured by an angry mob that blinded him are unsubstantiated and are just rumours, or wishful thinking.
During the month of January, 1829, William Burke gave two confessions. Although there was confusion between the two confessions as to who was murdered when, he gave a highly detailed account of all 16 of the killings he and Hare had committed.
On the morning of Wednesday, January 28, 1829, Burke was taken to Libertons Wynd near the Lawnmarket. Estimates of the crowd gathered to watch Burke's execution run from 25,000 to as high as 40,000. By all accounts, it was a joyful occasion, with women dressed in their best clothing, and an atmosphere closer to that of a carnival than a hanging. Some people had been there for most of the night, putting up with the rain to get a good view of the condemned man.
As the bells chimed 8 o'clock, Burke climbed the scaffold, and the crowd greeted him with shouts calling for Hare and Dr. Knox to hang with him. The general opinion was that both of the wives should have been hanged as well, and that the anatomists, if not actually the murderers, were certainly accessories, an opinion shared by Sir Walter Scott who attended the execution.
William Burke's execution
At 8:15 a.m., the trapdoor opened and Burke dropped to the cheers of the crowd. For half hour he dangled there until being cut down. Fittingly, as an executed criminal, Burke was legally available for dissection, and so his body was taken to Edinburgh University, where public interest compelled the authorities to place it on display. Such was the interest that people filed by the naked body at the astonishing rate of 60 per minute.
Burke's skeleton can be seen at Surgeon's Hall, Edinburgh, as can Burke's death mask and Hare's life mask.
Robert Knox was never prosecuted for his part in the crimes, much to the outrage of the citizens of Edinburgh. But experts have said that he must have known what was going on, and just turned a blind eye. Surely as brilliant an anatomist as he was, he must have been able to tell that at least some of these fresh corpses were murdered. In less than a year, Burke and Hare had provided the school with 16 bodies, all perfectly fresh, none of which showed any evidence of having been interred.
Knox kept silent about the Burke and Hare affair, not even making an apology, and continued to use body snatchers to supply him with anatomy subjects. Although he was exonerated of any blame, his part in the murders would not be forgotten. Once the most popular teacher in Edinburgh, he now found that his student body was shrinking rapidly. His applications to other positions were rejected; the medical community wanted nothing to do with him. He was burnt in effigy in the streets of Edinburgh, his house attacked, and demonstrations against him turned to riots.
Knox would eventually move to Glasgow and then to London, where he still found it impossible to get a post as a surgeon. Instead, he concentrated on writing and lectures until 1856, when he joined the London Cancer Hospital as an anatomist. For the next six years he worked there until his death on December 20, 1862.
The Burke and Hare case, followed by the "London Burkers" who killed 60 people in 1830-31, made a change in the law inevitable, and the House of Lords passed the Anatomy Act on July 19, 1832. The Act gave the lecturers legal access to corpses from prisons, workhouses and hospitals that were unclaimed after death. In addition, people could now donate bodies of their next of kin, and leave their bodies for medical research in their will. It would put an end to the gruesome business of grave robbing and the supplying of bodies by means of murder.

Quarterbacks Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson were the darlings of the NFL as rookies and each put up great fantasy numbers. So, are these three duplicating last year's success or are they fantasy duds in Year 2?
Andrew Luck, Indianapolis
The words "sophomore slump" certainly don't apply to Luck. He's very solid and sometimes spectacular. The stats are good: seven touchdowns, 224 yards per game, three interceptions and a completion percentage of just under 62 percent. The real upside for Luck is how he is spreading the football around. As a rookie, Reggie Wayne was Luck's go to guy. This year he's still targeting Wayne but is also finding T.Y. Hilton and tight end Coby Fleener with regularity.
Robert Griffin III, Washington
Latest RedEye
Did anyone think RG3 would make a huge impact as a fantasy starter coming off ACL surgery? I certainly didn't. However, there are times when he's is amazing and other times I think he should be nowhere near the field. Some of the stats are impressive, some are not. On the positive side: 289 passing yards per game. On the not-so-hot side: five interceptions in five games. I believe RG3 could be an elite in a year so as he continues to heal and hopefully gets a better supporting cast at receiver and tight end. Don't give up on Griffin as a great fantasy quarterback, it's going to take some time for him to develop.
Russell Wilson, Seattle
Wilson is a modern-day Troy Aikman: wins lots of games but doesn't have gaudy statistics. He is averaging a respectable 209 passing yards per game and has thrown for an impressive eight scores with four interceptions. Wilson is a reliable fantasy backup who in time could be a regular fantasy starter. Wilson will get better once Percy Harvin is healthy and he has his full complement of receivers.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/8/2012 (2786 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DILLY Knol easily lists the problems facing her William Whyte neighbourhood.
Addiction's the big one, she says, followed closely by poverty, lack of safety, gangs, poor housing and limited employment opportunities.
If you spend an hour in her cramped Andrew Street Family Centre office, a bleak picture emerges of a Winnipeg community under siege. Knol, the centre's executive director, is blunt.
"People don't have any money. The addictions have gotten really bad. The pills, the crack — it's gotten really bad. It seems to totally overpower. They love their kids, but they love crack more."
Knol knows she risks giving William Whyte a permanent black eye by being so honest. But she's a strong advocate for the neighbourhood where she lives and works.
She refuses to pull any punches.
Andrew Street offers the solace it can to the children and families of the area. Some of its methods are unorthodox. If it works, that's enough for Knol.
A staff addictions specialist who quickly became known as "the drug lady" puts sheets of paper in bathroom stalls so people can anonymously leave her their questions. Answers are posted in the bathrooms for everyone to read. No one needs to know who's asking what.
People don't know why anyone is in the building.
They could be coming for a cup of coffee or to do their laundry. Maybe they come for the drop-in or the food club. No one knows."
Knol chastises government for not ploughing more money into addictions programming overall. She sees it as a problem that is already swamping the city. One of the drug lady's clients drives in from Charleswood for treatment.
The food club is a successful Andrew Street program. Many corner stores in William Whyte still offer credit, attracting poor people who pay very high prices for their groceries.
When they get their cheques, they pay off the store and have nothing left over to shop at larger grocery chains. The cycle begins anew.
Andrew Street buys food, feminine hygiene products and diapers in bulk and sells them to clients in small amounts at cost. Last year, residents made 4,500 visits to the food club. The median family income in William Whyte was about $30,000 in 2006.
Twelve parenting programs are run by area volunteers.
In fact, all the centre's volunteers (and 23 of its 28 staff) live in William Whyte.
"When we started in 1994, I got people to knock on doors and ask what people wanted this place to offer.
Then we asked if they wanted to volunteer. They'd say no, because they didn't think they had anything to offer. I'd say 'can you knit, can you babysit, can you paint, can you cook, can you hammer a nail?' We wanted ownership from the community."
The gangs have left the Andrew Street centre alone, she says, because it belongs to everyone.
While the centre works with families and single people, it focuses a great deal of its energy on children. The Oshki Majahitowiin Head Start program gets aboriginal children ready to begin school. When parents are at the centre, their kids can come along and play. A respite program for parents provides children with age-appropriate toys, food and a safe place to hang out.
Knol is blunt about characterizations of her neighbours as lousy parents or welfare bums who just need to get a job.
"We have a lot of second-, third-generation residential- school families. They love their kids. They just lack skills.
"Some had their kids taken. They were never a parent. The kids never had parents. We give them tools.
That's what we try to do."
Knol says many in the area are multi-generational social-assistance recipients.
"If you've never seen anyone in your family get up and go to work, how do you know what to do? Do you understand you have to go every day and go on time?
Do you understand that when they pay you, you still have to go back the next day?"
If you have a criminal record, few people want to take a chance on hiring you, she says. The Andrew Street centre will give you a job — provided you put in volunteer time and prove you're reliable.
This isn't the only program supporting inner-city kids and families. Cross the Slaw Rebchuk Bridge into the Centennial neighbourhood and the issues are pretty much the same. Many people are poor, there's street violence, challenging home situations and kids who could go wrong without consistent, caring help.
Rossbrook House, a former church located just north of Health Sciences Centre, is a drop-in centre for kids and youth. On school breaks, it's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When kids are in school, it closes at midnight.
Rossbrook House was founded in 1976 by the late Sister Geraldine MacNamara and a group of neighbourhood kids. Sister Mac wanted kids and youth to have an alternative to the streets. Some of her earliest participants went on to become staff members.
Some are still there.
Warren Goulet, now the organization's operations manager, came to Rossbrook as a kid. He had a troubled home and personal problems he doesn't discuss easily. Goulet started as a junior staff member and never really left.
"Sister Mac gave me a chance. She gave me a lot of chances," he says. "Today I can confidently say I know who I am, I know where I came from. She helped bring those qualities out in me.
"That's what we still do. We offer safe sanctuary to kids."
Valerie Henderson, staff supervisor for the weekend and evening shifts, also started as a Rossbrook kid. She says many of the participants at Rossbrook begin with strikes against them.
"With the racism and the poverty, they know it's really hard to be successful. It's like a bottleneck, and everyone wants to get through.
"We try to help the kids. We let them know this is what we have for you."
While many kids get their first jobs as junior staff, hiring them can be problematic. They need social insurance numbers but before they can get them, they need ID. Rossbrook staff members understand they may not live with a parent or with the person who has the paperwork. They persist.
What Rossbrook has is a mind-boggling array of programs. Three schools operate either out of the centre or in satellite schools. Kids are taught the Winnipeg School Division curriculum and have a small ratio of teachers to students. Truancy rates are down, and more kids are graduating.
There's a basketball league that brings together Rossbrook House kids and kids from IRCOM (Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba). That's important, says Rossbrook House co-executive director Phil Chiappetta, because kids of different cultures get to know each other.
Their families also share cross-cultural evenings at Rossbrook, building bridges between the communities.
The centre offers music lessons, trips to the beach, a library, meals (called "healthy snacks" but generally more substantial), a young moms' program, pool tables, a homework club and a variety of outings.
Between 60 and 80 kids eat there every day.
They're about to open a state-of-the-art industrial kitchen in the basement. A number of staff and volunteers earned their food-handling certificates, something that may lead to restaurant jobs.
Although Chiappetta wasn't a Rossbrook kid, he has been a staff member for 31 years. He started off driving the van, a means of getting kids home safely at night and a chance just to take them around town and get to know them.
The van ride is still popular, and all the younger kids are driven home. If there's no one there, staff know them well enough to find alternative arrangements.
"I think this has always just been a place for kids to be who they can be, to be valued for who they can be," says Chiappetta. "Being important, being known by name, to be cheered along, to deal with the good stuff and the challenges. I think Rossbrook's a place that gives them that, that nurtures them."
At its core, Rossbrook remains a drop-in centre and place of safety. Staff often quote from Sister Mac's Order of Canada acceptance speech, given shortly before her death.
"No child who doesn't want to be alone ever has to be," she said. That's why Rossbrook House, Andrew Street and a number of other community organizations find the funds to keep the doors open. No matter which neighbourhood a child comes from, they have that right.

The rise of "freemium" apps, mainly games, that generate money from in-app commerce is well established on Facebook.But it is also driving a huge amount of the revenue generated on Apple's iPhone App Store.
BI Intelligence has produced an analysis of App Store data, taking a look at the successful pricing, business, and monetization strategies of the highest grossing "freemium" iPhone apps.
Access The Full Report By Signing Up For A Free Trial Today >>
Here's a quick breakdown of the dynamics surrounding iTunes app monetization:
- Most of the highest grossing apps are free to download: Two thirds of the highest grossing iPhone apps — the ones that generate the most money from iTunes — are completely free to download.
- Ecommerce is driving the business: These apps generate 100% of their iTunes revenue through in-app commerce. (Advertising and other revenue sources beyond iTunes aren't measured.) Almost all of the money-making paid apps in Apple's top 100 grossing list also employ in-app commerce. Beyond freemium, successful paid apps can potentially double their revenue by offering in-app commerce for premium upgrades.
- The top performers include some big names: Recent top-grossing apps generating iTunes revenue entirely through in-app purchases include Poker by Zynga, Pandora Radio, Bejeweled Blitz, and MLB At Bat.
- And they are taking home a lot of money: The precise amount they earn varies by app and by day, but top-10-grossing iPhone apps can routinely generate $50,000 to $200,000 in revenue per day.
In full, the report looks at:
- What in-app commerce on Apple looks like, and how it works
- What products and services leading apps have sold via iTunes, and how
- What price points for apps and products have had the most success in driving revenue

CSM and Madeira chase first trophy
The two finalists of the Men's Challenge Cup 2018/19 have already made history by reaching the first European Cup final in the history of the club.
Both CSM Bucuresti and AM Madeira Andebol SAD will now try to crown their historic season by lifting the trophy following the return leg in Romania on Saturday afternoon - six days after they drew 22:22 in the first leg in Portugal.
CSM Bucuresti (ROU) vs AM Madeira Andebol SAD (POR)
Saturday 18 May, 13.30 CET, live on ehfTV.com
Result first leg: 22:22
"A unique and historic moment for handball on Madeira island," said Madeira coach Paulo Fidalgo about the Men's Challenge Cup final against CSM Bucuresti.
On Saturday afternoon, Fidalgo and his team can make the moment even more historic by winning the title when they visit CSM in the Romanian capital for the all-decisive return match.
A year after they reached the semi-final for the club's best-ever achievement at that time, Madeira have gone one step beyond this time by reaching the final.
But they could have been in a much better position to lift the trophy than they actually are: in the home match last weekend, they led 19:14 with 12 minutes left on the clock but lost their five-goal lead in the closing stages.
The outcome last week obviously made Fidalgo's fellow Portuguese counterpart content. CSM coach Paulo Pereira, however, is not sure the draw will be a big advantage to his team.
"Theoretically, we should have more options to win the title by playing the second game at home. The emotions will be an important fact that can determine the final result, however," Pereira said.
"I know Madeira, they are coming to Bucharest to win like they have done in their latest away games in this competition," he added. "We will have to be strongly energised and focused on our game plan to win this title."
A triumph by CSM would mean that the Men's Challenge Cup remains in Romania for another year. Last season, AHC Potaissa Turda won the competition in a two-leg final against A.E.K. Athens - the same team which Madeira eliminated in the semi-final this year.

September is an odd month for shopping, since summer has officially come to a close, and we're inching ever closer to Black Friday. But September has its own deal virtues, including Labor Day sales! So, we've mined the extensive dealnews archives of sales, coupons, and individual products from the past few summers to find out what are the best and worst things to buy in September.
Patio Furniture Deals Are Sitting Pretty
As we mentioned in our Labor Day weekend sales guide, it's finally a great month to buy patio furniture. September will see an increase in the sheer number of outdoor furniture sales and deals on seasonal outdoor items. Look for discounts from retailers like Target and Sears, each of which took up to 60% off their stock of outdoor furniture last year. However, Kmart stole the show in 2012 by slashing up to 90% off its collection of outdoor items, including patio chairs and tables. Here's hoping the store offers similar discounts this year.
Get Your Coffee Fix for Free
Are you a devout coffee drinker? Then make sure to mark September 29 on your calendar, as several food chains will offer a free cup o' Joe in honor of National Coffee Day. In years past, Krispy Kreme, Waffle House, 7-11, and Caribou Coffee all offered special promotions to celebrate, and it's possible that other chains and local cafes will do the same this time around, too.
New Car Models This Month Mean Good Deals in October
Since many manufacturers release new car models in September, experts in the industry claim that dealerships will start slashing prices on older models. These discounts start in September, but according to Forbes, they become substantially better in October and later. As such, you can save 10% to 20% or more on a 2013 car if you wait until October.
No Considerable Savings on Large Appliances Yet
Conventional wisdom says to buy large appliances in September and October, because this is when manufacturers like LG, Maytag, and Whirlpool debut their new models. However, unlike cars, our archives show that you'll see at least double the number of Editors' Choice deals on these items in November because such items will be included in Black Friday sales. There will be more than twice as many deals in November on the whole that discount washers, dryers, vacuums, and the like from department and home improvement stores.
New Price Points for the iPhone
As is tradition, Apple is expected to announce a new iPhone this month, which means that previous generations of the iPhone are about to receive a price cut; typically this would mean that the two prior iterations will drop to $99 and $0, respectively, with a 2-year contract extension. However, this time around, there are rumors that Cupertino is planning to release a "budget iPhone" which might take the place of one of these price points. Either way, cheap iPhone options are on the way for September.
Discounts on Older Tablets
The iPad mini is also expected to get a refresh this month, which means we'll see nearly instantaneous deals on the first generation mini from resellers. If Apple keeps the original around at a lower price point — perhaps $290 — then stores like Best Buy and Fry's Electronics could discount the 16GB WiFi model to as low as $266, which would be a new all-time low. Likewise, Amazon will update the Kindle Fire HD tablet, which means the previous generation could receive a new retail price of $159, if the store maintains the same pricing structure precedent that it set last year.
Big-Screen HDTVs Remain Near All-Time Low Prices
Although they didn't reach all-time low prices like they did in July, 55" 3D LCD HDTVs did fall to their second-lowest price of the year ($700) this past August. Chances are we may not see another rock-bottom deal on these sets until the holidays, but if you're in the market this month, look for deals at or below $729, which is the category average. This price point should get you a name-brand 55" 3D TV with built-in WiFi and app support.
While 55" LCDs may not be at their cheapest right now, 60" plasmas are. Prices have steadily fallen over the summer, with August bringing the best deal on these sets, priced at $600. We've actually seen this Editors' Choice price twice in August and there's a good chance it will make an appearance in September too. (The downside, however, is that it's a Micro Center in-store only deal.)
September Is Prime Time for 32" HDTVs
While chances are good that several big-screen TVs will fall to lower price points around Black Friday, September is typically the best time of year to buy smaller 32" 1080p LCD HDTVs. In 2012, September deals beat out the best Black Friday promotions by about 6%. Look for deals in the $169 range, which was last year's low — and make sure that it's actually 1080p. We've recently seen a resurgence of 32" 720p sets in the past few weeks, but they're coming in at the same price, making for a lesser value.
Haswell Core i5 Laptops Hit Lowest Price Since Launch
The back-to-school crunch is almost over, but that doesn't mean laptop prices will suddenly rebound. Quite the contrary, actually; deals will remain low or plateau until the next big holiday, Black Friday. That said, we saw 15" Intel Core i5 Haswell processor laptops fall to a new low price last month: $458. That's still about $60 more than a Core i5 Ivy Bridge system, but it's 16% less expensive than July's best deal and the lowest price we've seen to date for a 15" Core i5 Haswell laptop.
A Month for Desktops to Shine
Desktops are generally a dying breed, having been bumped by mobile platforms, but there are still users who prefer a PC for their heavy computing needs. And such users should take note: for the past two years, we've noticed that September has been the best time to purchase a dual-core desktop PC. With prices starting at $200, this month boasts deals that should be better than Black Friday's best offers. (However, higher end quad-core models tend to see the biggest price cuts in November when they will be marked down to as low as $320.)
