Mark Brownlow writes that "email marketing is like trying to fill a bucket with holes in it," and describes the two schools of thought on how to solve the problem – either fill the holes (better retention), or use more water (faster acquisition).
In my experience, it's not limited to email marketing. The "new economy" forces companies to make a choice – either supply superior products designed based on deep customer understanding at the best price, or move to a commodity business and supply products at the lowest price through those with deeper customer relationships. The former requires a sustained trustful brand relationship, and (surprise) fits best with better retention, rather than faster and faster acquisition.
There's another aspect to consider: good advertising inventory (online or offline) is scarce, and as a result the real price has tended to increase, even online. If a marketer pursues the "faster acquisition" path, is it sustainable under these conditions?

Several years ago I went camping in Kananaskis Park, AB with some friends. One day hike that we went on ended at a glacial lake. When you see the glacier on the other side of the lake, one should pause and ponder one's imminent action. Yes, you may be hot after your hike and yes, it is July, but are you really prepared for a swim where the glacier is nearly in the water? We jumped in and it took my breath away. Indeed, it was refreshing.
Well, since having a baby, the free evening and weekend time that I once had to quilt no longer exists. My fat quarters and fabric are starting to accumulate and the weight of them on my mind moves me ever slowly to the creative and design process. Yes, I still Pin quilt ideas on my Pinterest quilt board which I may or may not attempt to accomplish in my future. However, a friend of mine in Montreal inspired this quilt design and I was compelled to sew this quilt.
I have never attempted a design with a 60 degree angle before and suffice to say, it busted my brain somewhat. I read a few blog postings and that was it. With no pattern to follow I started to cut and then realized that I cut some things wrong. Becoming somewhat frustrated with the cutting process, I let it sit for a day and then I figured out a way to salvage the fabric that I had cut wrong.
I wanted to have a negative white space to off set the intense herringbone pattern, but I also wanted that white space to pop out. The free motion quilting pattern on the white fabric made me think of rivulets running into a larger body of water.
This quilt certainly challenged me, but I am pleased with the result. With certain projects, you sometimes have to just jump in and hope that you catch your breath later.

"The flag of caire and the Aristasian Imperial Flag feature a central Sun, the symbol of Sai Raya. Solar associations are also central to traditional symbolism all over Telluria, for example the lion or the eagle figure in most Western national and imperial emblems. In the East the direct representation of the Sun is found in national emblems, such as that of Japan. The emperor of Japan is the direct ancestor of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu Omikami, just as the Empress of Aristasia is the direct ancestress..."
"sai raya is the Sun: the Great Luminary. As such, she is the Janya most immediately assimilable to Dea Herself (though all the Janyati may be seen as Her Aspects). Her Aristasian name means simply The Lady, as well as The Radiant. Raya is the Aristasian word for Lady (in the Lord sense —there is no such specific word in English). Dea is sometimes addressed as Raya (Lady) even whenthe specific Aspect of Sai Raya, the Sun..."

"A Path Towards a Thriving Middle Class"
From the White House weblog:
In this week's address, the President described the progress our economy has made, laying a foundation for a future that prioritizes middle-class economics.
This week, the President will send a budget to Congress centered on the idea that everyone who works hard should have the chance to get ahead. His plan will reverse harmful sequestration cuts and instead make paychecks go further, create good jobs here in the United States, and prepare hardworking Americans to earn higher wages. The President made the case for his budget, and affirmed his commitment to doing everything he can to ensure more Americans can get ahead in this new economy.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the Honorable R. David Proctor, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Alabama, entered a Final Judgment As To Defendant Scott Carey ("Carey"), enjoining him from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and from aiding and abetting violations of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20 and 13a-1 thereunder. Carey consented to the entry of the judgment without admitting or denying any of the allegations of the Commission's Complaint. Carey was not ordered to pay a civil penalty based upon the representations in his sworn financial statements.
The Commission's Complaint, filed on May 21, 2004, alleged various fraudulent practices in connection with the financial statements of Just for Feet, Inc., a large shoe and sports apparel retailer formerly headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. During the relevant period, Carey was the Strategic Account Manager for the southeastern United States for Nike, Inc., a shoe and sportswear company. The Complaint alleged that in 1999, Carey signed confirmations which falsely represented that Nike owed various amounts of "co-op" credits to Just for Feet. The overstatement of income and assets resulting from this misconduct, and other misconduct in which Carey was not involved, was reflected on Just for Feet's financial statements included in its Form 10-K filed for fiscal year 1998, Forms 10-Q filed for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 1999, and in its registration statements on Forms S-8 and S-4 filed in May and June of 1999, respectively.

The constituents of vata are space and air. People with predominance in vata basically are thin, have a delicate skin that is dry. They are agile both in speech and action and are extroverts. They are a creative lot, with lots of enthusiasm. They prefer a warm atmosphere. A well-balanced vata personality exhibits all of the above characteristics.
Exposure to cold dry winds, excessive travel, too much mental exertion, indulging in too much of dry or raw foods etc can exacerbate vata dosha.
When the balance is vitiated it leads to various complications, and when left unattended to it can lead to many diseases.
Signs of a vitiated vata
- Constantly worried, fretful
- Feel tired but unable to relax
- Unable to fall asleep at bedtime
- Skin dry, parched
- Hair brittle with split ends
- Irregular digestion with abdominal gas
- Infrequent bowel movements
- Feel spaced out, short term memory loss
A good ayurveda physician can guide you through a diet and lifestyle to normalize the vitiated vata dosha.

Cast of characters is same as in Part I, except Bronan the woodsman returns from an unhappy trip to Brettonia and rejoins the gang. The gang moved to a different campsite following the previous day's attack. The next morning (actually pre-dawn), the crow called "Lady's Man" wakes Dellin with the cry "Here Comes the Sun!"
Dellin follows the crow for a couple miles, crossing over a ridge and spotting an encampment of a significant size…one the order of 50 men, including two-dozen knights and heavy horse. A banner flying on the main tent identifies the camp as belonging to the Count of Ostermark, which is a province on the North-Eastern side of the Empire, tasked with monitoring the border to Kislev and the northern wastelands.
Dellin returns with the news. Mix Riggens says something about Ostermark being known as a good man, but also a very old man (in his 80's, and decrepit, but in his youth he was known as "The Bull of Ostermark"). The characters decide to ride out to the encampment and introduce themselves. Mix disappears into the forest.
At the encampment, the characters encounter Father Burkholt (previously of the third-most glorious temple of the light in Nuln, and the quest-giver to Archibald). Burkholt has been looking for Archibald, knowing that he wouldn't be able to return safely to Nuln. The Count of Ostermark had recently been in Altdorff pleading with the other Elector Counts not to decreasing the Empire's funding of the defense of the "Eastern Marches", which Ostermark oversees (among other things). His petition denied, he later encountered a man he knew as a formidable spymaster, who encouraged Ostermark to see for himself where the Empire's funds were being spent, in lieu of supporting the army of the Eastern Marches. The spymaster, of course, is none other than the Lanky Man, a.k.a. "Frederick."
So, by good fortune (hardly…by the scheming of the Lanky Man), Ostermark's entourage encountered Burkholt and his servants just outside Nuln. Burkholt has been relieved of his position in Nuln and recalled to Altdorff. Somewhat insubordinately, Burkholt has decided to follow the Lanky Man and Ostermark for a while after he was told that he would find Archibald where they were going.
So…there was a wonderful scene with Choppy and the other characters (all except Archibald), eating bacon with the foot soldiers by the camp fire, and the Lanky Man in his finery, including silver utensils, joining them to check-in with Dellin. Choppy still bears his grudge against the Lanky Man for being played.
While that transpires, Archibald has a private audience with Burkholt in his pavilion. Archibald is formally ordained as a priest in the Order of the Travelling Flame Wot Doth Illuminate Shadows Made and Secrets Kept. He is given his papers of ordination in a fine-but-durable scroll tube. He is also presented with a tarnished rod that is a holy implement given to members of this "highly selective" order. Burkholt informs Archibald of his suspicions of wide-spread and growing corruption in Nuln and elsewhere in the Empire. Archibald is tasked with the covert assignment of getting to the bottom of the corruption in Nuln, and bringing the searing flame of justice to those that serve the Ruinous Powers. Burkholt must return to Altdorff, as he is already overdue, and with the recent suspicious death of the High Inquisitor Skaarsgard of Nuln, Archibald is warned that even high ranking members of the Church are not safe. One last piece of advice is that there is a Captain of the City Guard, named Tiller, that seems trust worthy and of high integrity.
The characters work out with the Lanky Man that they will show Ostermark evidence of the Vivisectionist's evil (from the previous day's battle), and after that, they will join forces to storm Toltevsky's lair and eradicate him and his vile minions. Ostermark's men will ride without banner or other heraldric devices to maintain deniability that they were involved in the attack (for obvious political reasons.) The Lanky Man takes Lady's Man from Dellin and indicates that Handsome may find Dellin in the future. For now, the Lanky Man has other serious issues to attend to, and takes his leave of the party.
In other conversations, the characters learn of the deadly capabilities and personality of Murdoch Einhorn, who is a master duelist and now the head of the Empire's covert operations (having deposed "Frederick").
In a brief audience with Ostermark, the plans are solidified. Ostermark's men will clear the path so that the experienced "monster hunters" (e.g. the Player Characters) can get to Toltevsky in his lair. They march on the Vivisectionist's abode in the bluffs, and they find a small army of Chaos Knights waiting for them. Ostermark's men, especially the heavy horse, manage to open the hole in the ranks of the Chaos Knights, and the characters, assisted by two of Ostermark's men ("Rich" and "Torvalds"), shoot through up the path that winds its way from the battlefield, up the side of the rugged bluffs, towards the entrance they seek.
The path is not without its defenders. The group is set upon by the rear-guard consisting of three black knights. These knights fight the party to a stand-still, while yet another threat charges down the path…it is the "Slaned" version of Owen, Helga Whoopknacker's adopted son…all 7'2" of him turned into a raving mad death machine. Rufus, in an exceptional demonstration of bravery, charges "Dark Owen", and manages to fell him with a sleep spell. Other party members take several shots to kill him before he awakens. Meanwhile, the other Chaos knights get the better of Dellin and Choppy — Choppy is impaled on a giant halberd and flung across the ground. (A fate point is spent so that Choppy can rejoin the fray…not dead yet!) A few seconds later, a bleeding giant wolf-creature (Spike), charges up the path with the severed arm of a Chaos knight in his giant maw. He charges into two of the Chaos Knights, allowing the characters the ability to charge up the remaining path past the rear guard.
Thus ended Part II of the Chapter 2 Conclusion Event. We ran out of time to get any further, so I guess that puts us at sort of a cliffhanger.
What happened in the battle below between Ostermark's forces and the Chaos Knights? Will Spike be able to single-handedly hold off the remaining rear guard while the PC's enter Toltevsky's fort? What other surprises lie inside? With the death of the Troll-golem (Part I) and Dark Owen (Part II), what more could possibly remain?? We shall see..

Our Christmas was uneventful, but we had a nice ham meal. I don't know what to do with all these days off over the holidays, so I end up doing a few projects. That's the trouble with living in your office.
The volunteers are about to start the bird count on a Tern Island winter day.
I took some pictures today of a young frigate bird playing with a stick. They like to pick things up, chase each other around, and drop things so they can catch them again. When the Sooty terns are here, many times they'll pick up a small chick and play with them too. The chicks don't make it though.
Apparently this monk seal couldn't find a comfortable spot on the beach.
I tried to figure out what these little eels were. The best I could come up with are that they are young conger eels. Feel free to correct me if you know what they are. There were thousands of them washed up on the Trig Island beach.

Partly as a result of such varied criticisms as have been indicated in the preceding chapter, partly as a result of a slowly dawning realization within the NRA itself that extended action without policy can lead only to confusion, there was established within the NRA in March 1934 a unit with definite responsibility for broad policy recommendations. In plan and by declaration this policyforming group was first outlined as three policy boards. NRA Office Order No. 74. declared that "in order to expedite and co-ordinate decisions of administrative policy (not only as to approved codes but as to codes in making and general policy questions as well)" three policy boards "are established. These boards will make recommendations to the Administrator and will advise division administrators on final decisions of policy on problems within their respective fields." Of these, one was called Trade Practice Policy Board. 1 Its duties were expressed in these words: "In general, this Board will consider all problems involving the trade practice provisions of codes. This Board will pay particular attention to problems of price stabilization, buying and selling provisions, cost, consumer protection, etc."
The order establishing this Board set up as its personnel, a chairman to be appointed by the Administrator and one representative each from the Labor, Industrial,____________________

I, like other modern slaves, was on a paid vacation at a beach. While walking along the beach, I was impulsively forced to land my eyes on an exquisitely pretty woman, in bikini, lying on the sandy beach when my friend asked me what I was doing. I replied, "Receiving some light or rather electromagnetic energy." His ludicrous look led me to say: "That's the way a visual organ functions, otherwise we must be blind."
Anyway, when the waves reached my eyes, I felt a walnut-size spot squeezing hard down my abdomen!
While I was watching that sleeping beauty, or rather when the waves reached my brain, I could vividly see a barely covered crevice or score between her legs, fringed with some strands of soft fluffy hair, protruding from edges of the bikini panties. The barrages of impulses firmly and instantly registered in my mind.
It was at this very moment that the sirens at the beach went off announcing the approach of 'Ike Hurricane' and advised the sunbathers to immediately leave the beach for a safe place.
She reluctantly opened her inquisitive eyes, asking what it was all about. She accepted my offer to share my nearby fortified underground basement.
During our walk toward the basement, I realized the existence of a sharp difference between the mentality of females and males: she, like other females we find at the parties or in streets, it never crossed her mind that men find these scenes nothing but sexually arousing while they, females, maintain a conviction that females do it simply for the sake of following the main stream fashion. However, I conclude that they, in general, covertly enjoy being watched. Their next gratification occurs when they ruminate on the thought, a capability partly unknown to male Homo sapiens.
Anyway, we reached the basement. I offered her my folding cot while I chose to lie down on the cold floor.
Closing my eyes, I drifted into my half-sleep-half-awake state of mind that occasionally occurs to me. It was at this moment that the previously registered mental pictures vividly came alive. Although in reality we had not touched, in that state of mind, I found her hand softly laid on mine while mine was creeping through the fluffy downs toward the crevice. I believe my mind had mysteriously supplemented the desired missing parts from storage.
Anyway, I wonder if she heard me blurting it out loud when it all happened.

Matthew McConaughey to Hollywood Elitists: Time to Shake Hands, Be Constructive and Give Trump a Chance (Video)
Matthew McConaughey to Far Left Hollywood Elites: Give Trump a Chance
During an interview with the BBC's 'Andrew Marr Show,' actor Matthew McConaughey was asked whether it was about time that Hollywood gave President Donald Trump a break.
McConaghey's response was refreshing, via BizPac Review:
"Well they don't have a choice now. He's our president now. Its time for us to embrace, shake hands with this fact."
What, a voice of reason in the middle of crazy Hollywood. McConaughey went on to say,
"Its time to think about how constructive can you because he is our president for the next four years, at least."
We shall see. Who honestly thinks Hollywood and the Left ill ever give Trump a chance?
The question remains if this plea will this fall on deaf liberal ears or will the LEFT just attack the messenger as they have done everyone else who dare work with Trump.

As explained on the Year of Science website, Astronomy is the oldest field of science, dating back to early man watching the night sky, developing calendars, navigating ocean routes, and the recent travel into space. And this has been a landmark week in Astronomy and Planetary Sciences.
July 20, 2009 is the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon. NPR had Dr. Bernard Harris on Tell Me More to discuss his space walk in 1995. He also discussed his outreach program – The Harris Foundation Summer Science Camp.
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 there are a solar eclipse, best seen in Asia. The accounts of the event sounded beautiful. See the image provided by NASA below. Read more about it here.
