OK, last Holiday Beer, I promise!
I just have nice feelings about the beers of Brasserie Dupont. When we first moved to San Francisco, and the Slanted Door first opened on Valencia, we used to have a great time there. We would order ourselves a big bottle of Saison Dupont and pig out on California style Vietnamese food. Happy memories.
"Avec les bons Vœux de la brasserie Dupont" means, "With the best wishes of the brewery Dupont." According to the website, it was brewed every year as a New Years present for their "best clients." A pretty fun idea, and I've been wanting to try this beer for a while.
The Saison beer is often known for its complexity, often including fruity flavors not unlike German Wheat Beers. However, because of the types of yeast they use and the way they are brewed, they are often much dryer in character than German Wheat Beer.
Unlike many holiday or special occasion beers, this one is not that far from it's parents. It seems a bit richer with perhaps a tad more character. From the label, it has higher alcohol, but with the smoothness of this beer, I would have a hard time detecting it. I think I would have to have Saison Dupont and this side by side, to be able to tell the difference. Nonetheless, another fantastic beer, and highly recommended, should you be lucky enough to chance upon it.

Take Me Out To the Yakyu: a Yankee meets a Japanese girl
Oh, how George Carlin would have loved this picture book contrasting a Yankee boy and a Japanese boy at a baseball game!
Especially the pages about how the cheers differ: "In America, we cheer: WIN! WIN! WIN! Go for it! Get a hit!" "In Japan, we cheer: DO YOUR BEST! Kattobase! Gajbatte!"
He would have riffed on the contrast between the souvenirs that the "Yakyu" grandparents buy for their grandsons: A jersey for the American boy, and "my favorite player's towel" for the Japanese boy.
Aaron Meshon's playful, bright illustrations evoke anime. Hard not to envy the Japanese mode of transit, though — a bus with a chassis that allows it to convert into a high-speed train. How cool is that? CDOT, are you listening?
Ages 2 to 6, according to the publisher, but both baseball fans and Japanophiles of all ages will enjoy this terrific book.

A Far Flung Correspondent weighs in on the MCU controversy.
"Red Dawn" opens with a hard-fought high school football game, the day before Spokane, Wash. is interrupted by the thud of bombs. The young gridiron stars of the Wolverines race outside to see enemy aircraft flying overhead in formation, dropping paratroopers from the skies.
This is an alarming sight, but not to worry: The movie reassures us that an invasion by communist North Korea can be vanquished by the members of the team and their girlfriends, using mostly automatic weapons stolen from the North Koreans themselves.
If you're wondering how North Korea (population 25 million) can raise enough invaders to attack the Unites States (population 315 million), it may help to understand that the original screenplay for this remake named the invaders as Chinese. After principal photography was completed on this film three years ago and its studio (MGM) went belly-up, the enemy identity was changed to North Korea by reshooting several scenes, redubbing lots of dialogue and using digital adjustment to change the looks of flags, uniforms and insignia on trucks and tanks. Did this involve a change in ideology in Hollywood? Not really. A marketing genius figured out that China is one of the biggest markets for American movie exports, and North Korea generates unimpressive box-office bucks for Yank product, as the trade papers like to word it.
But back to football. The home-team Wolverines are headed by star player Matt Eckert (Josh Peck), whose older brother, Jed (Chris Hemsworth), is a Marine just returning from active duty. That's a nifty way to include someone with military training and experience on your side. Jed takes unofficial command as the Wolverines go into action against the invaders. Matt's girlfriend is Erica (Isabel Lucas), a cheerleader, and Toni (Adrianne Palicki) is a spunky hometown girl who develops a crush on Jed.
The nature of the invasion quickly becomes clear. The North Koreans take over the police department as their headquarters and co-opt the feckless mayor to help them issue pronouncements. His son, Daryl (Connor Cruise), of course joins the Wolverines, who also include Josh Hutcherson (very good as the son in "The Kids Are All Right"). No mention is made of other Spokane high school teams, so it must be just this one heroic team and its recruits who turn back the invasion.
The story's time frame is confusingly murky. How long does it take the North Koreans to land, import their heavy weapons and vehicles, enlist local traitors and start running things? What is their game plan? Is this a national invasion? How do they plan petrol deliveries? We're unclear about what's happening in the rest of the United States.
The velocity of events picks up considerably, however, in an endless and mindless combat sequence in which the Wolverines prove to be fierce combat troops and the North Koreans are reassuringly incompetent. The kids, even the girlfriends, are adept at handling heavy-duty automatic weapons, even machineguns mounted on top of captured vehicles (or pointing out the sun roofs of their cars).
They're also gifted strategists, instinctively occupying the high ground and spraying bullets down upon the hapless enemy forces who are often conveniently lined up in the street below. They achieve all of these things with remarkably little dialogue; mostly they just shout exhortations at one another and eavesdrop on speeches to the population by the enemy leader, Capt. Cho (Will Yun Lee).
I'm not sure I saw any Wolverines actually killed — at least no major characters. I'm sure I must have seen countless North Koreans mowed down, but given the movie's PG-13 rating, the carnage is far from graphic. A closing scene, rousingly patriotic, takes place back on the football field. I think I'm beginning to understand why the Chinese were not reckoned to be a prime market for this film.

The Greatest Female Villains
List Rules Vote up and add all of your favorite fictional, evil ladies.
The best female villains include women whose roles are truly iconic and evil. Some of the greatest movie and television villains ever made this list. Whether it's a mentally unstable character who stalks her unsuspecting victim or a conniving, totally immoral villain who frames innocent people, this list includes all the big female villain names. It is, however, not complete, so please, feel free to add your favorite female TV and movie villains as well. Vote for the characters you think are the worst villains ever to grace the big or small screen.
What makes a great villain? A character that is morally bankrupt, complex and tortured, among other things. The female villains listed here certainly fit the mold. Some are evil to their very core, allowing heroes to emerge and shine as they (hopefully) triumph against them. A villain is nefarious, vile and generally bad. Many are guilty of criminal behavior, to say the least. Some make us love to hate them (that's a sure sign of a fantastic female villain). We cheer if and when they meet their untimely ends, because they deserved it!
In film, some of the best movie villains of all time are females. Need proof? How about bunny-boiler Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) in 'Fatal Attraction' or mentally deranged "fan" Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) in 'Mysery'? Sharon Stone's portrayal of femme fatale Catherine Tramell in 'Basic Instinct' earns her a best female villain place on the list, as well as a top spot among the sexiest characters in thrillers.
Some actresses' best roles in movies or on TV shows came when they played villains. Rachel McAdams was unforgettably villainous as Regina George, aka Queen Bee, in 'Mean Girls.' Helena Bonham Carter's played some interesting roles over the years, but none more wicked that Bellatrix Lestrange in the 'Harry Potter' movies.
From the psycho exes to the stalkers and the femme fatales, enjoy this list of the best female villains in movies and television, and feel free to rerank it your way, too.

Armin announces Armin Only - Intense World Tour
Today, Armin van Buuren announced the cities & dates of his upcoming world tour: Armin Only - Intense. Next to the first 2 (sold-out) editions in the Amsterdam Ziggo Dome in early November, the tour will also land in cities such as New York, St. Petersburg, Toronto, Mexico city, Sydney, Johannesburg and many more. ALDA Events, in charge of the concept development, emphasizes that the new Armin Only - Intense will be a spectacle for each and every visitor.
Concept & vision
The new world tour is inspired by Armin's latest album, 'Intense'. Armin Only is a concept that started in the early days of Armin's career. Since the first editions in the early millennium years, the show has grown and come to life. Armin explains: "Unlike today, now that it's all based on short sets and quick highlights, it used to be all about the long sets, the musical trips. That's what Armin Only is based on - to take the clubbers on a 6+ hour journey into music. Through the Armin Only - Intense shows, I can tell them the full story of my 'Intense' album - in fact of everything I'd like to say."
New approach
With a new world tour, greater expectations rise. Armin van Buuren and ALDA Events have teamed up with famous theatre director Jos Thie and creative mind Sander Reneman (owner 250K). The two directors teamed up with the Intense crew, resulting in a completely unconventional and fresh approach to an electronic dance music show. Armin on the new approach of the show: "The basis of Armin Only will always be a DJ set but to make it more interesting for the crowd, I'm going to try and really make the live moments almost like you would witness them in a theatre!"
As a result of that, there will be an extensive rehearsal period of two weeks, in which Armin and his crew will dot the i's and cross the t's. It also offers the fans that missed out on getting a ticket for the sold-out shows in the Ziggo Dome a chance to be part of the exclusive sneak previews in the Brabanthallen. Only a limited amount of people will be able to witness this (2000 persons per show). Ticket sales for these sneak previews will start this Saturday the 19th of October at 12h00 via arminonly.com.
On Friday the 15th and Saturday the 16th of November, Armin welcomes all of his fans during the official kick-off of his world tour in Amsterdam, where he will unfold the many layers of this new show. Tickets for the first Armin Only - Intense edition sold out in only a couple of hours - the ones for the second show within one weekend. After this premiere, Armin Only Intense will continue its journey to over 20 destinations to all corners of the world.
Expect to be blown away by an exclusive 6 hour set by Armin van Buuren, including stunning live performances, dancing acts and top-notch technical effects that have never been used in EDM before. These are the first destinations that have been announced earlier today:
28-12-2013 Kiev, Ukraine
24-01-2014 Mumbai, India
07-02-2014 Sofia, Bulgaria
08-02-2014 St. Petersburg, Russia

I am new here and joined because I came into the possession of a DDA CS3 Console. Don't know much about them and have been unable to power it up and check it out. It appears from reading that it needs to have a power supply...which I don't have and so far have been unable to locate. This is how I found this Forum and am hoping that you all can point me in the right direction as to obtaining one or even if not, somebody would be interested in the console for at least it's parts. My preference would be to get it working and set it up along with a digital system I own and have the best of both worlds. Let me thank all in advance for any help or direction you may be able to give me. I do have the Schematics, Manual, and Sales Brochure. Thanks again! Ken

Latest revision as of 09:38, February 9, 2013
Archbishop Miсhael (secular name Mikhail Dmitriyevich Voskresensky) was Archbishop of the Kazan and Mari of the Church of Russia from 1960 to 1975. He served many of his years as the ruling bishop during the persecutions of the Khrushchov era.
Little is known of the life of Archbishop Mikhail. He joined in the demands of some of the Russian hierarchy for reconsideration of the regulations concerning administration of Russian Orthodox Church that had been adopted under pressure of the secular authorities. The demands were presented, in 1961, in a letter by Abp. Hermogen (Golubev) of Tashkent and Central Asia that Abp. Mikhail signed together with six hierarchs who looked to the realization of reforms in the church.
In spite of the difficulties of these hard years, Abp. Mikhail did not permit the closing of any church in the diocese of Kazan while he held the see.
On May 6, 1968 and, later, on February 7, 1972, Abp. Mikhail ordained the future Archbishop of Kazan and Tatarstan, Anastassy (Metkin), into the Holy Orders, to deacon, and then priest.

A Fresh Perspective: How Consultants Are Reenergizing Newsrooms and Ad Sales
By: Nu Yang
As publishers seek innovative ways to generate revenue during these financially strapped times, they are looking beyond their office building for outside help from newspaper consultants. Many consultants come from a newspaper background and are now offering their perspective in another role. From redesigning an entire paper to training a sales staff, consultants are voicing their suggestions on many issues troubling the industry — and publishers are listening.
Apply Here
When it comes to finding a consultant, publishers should know what their problems are and what challenges they want to overcome. Luckily, many consultants specialize in more than one area.
Based in Norfolk, Va., Brass Tacks Design (brasstacksdesign.com) launched in 1992 and is now entering its third decade redesigning newspapers. Founder Alan Jacobson said he's "not focused on the cosmetic reasons" for a redesign. "It doesn't matter how pretty you make it; if it doesn't move the needle, it's not working."
He called a newspaper's redesign "very strategic."
"If publishers spend $1, they want to see $1.01 back," he said. "Our goal is to boost revenue and cut costs. Lately, we have been redesigning the classifieds section, which is traditionally very much neglected, but it's so tied in to revenue."
When publishers call Jacobson about a redesign, he puts the potential client through an interview process, where he tells them, "A redesign is not your goal.
"I go deeper with my questions," he said. "It's typical to just think of the surface, but asking questions leads to the core." Jacobson said that most of the time, publishers are looking for solutions on how to cut costs.
For example, he said the Bakersfield Californian saw a boom in real estate advertising 10 years ago, but when that bubble burst, the paper went from feast to famine. The redesign launched in March 2006 after dramatic cost cuts and with a smaller staff, and Jacobson said it had to be executed with bottom-line results.
"We had to simplify the design but not show the reader that any of the value was lost," he said.
Detailed in a report on brasstacksdesign.com, Jacobson's strategy has transformed the front page with more compelling content selection (stories and photos), presentation, headline writing, use of color and typography, and more emphasis on local news. He also introduced new story forms to meet readers' needs, with heavy emphasis on short-form journalism, and implemented a workflow in the newsroom that encouraged collaboration instead of the traditional assembly- line model.
At the time of the redesign, the Californian reported that single-copy sales increased between 8 and 13 percent, and there was a jump of 1,000 additional inches of advertising in the redesigned real estate tab.
The Republican-American in Woodbury, Conn., was facing a challenge with its weekly County Life publication. The goal of the redesign was to make the product more useful and unique.
"We designed in a way that advertisers think readers will look at it," Jacobson said. In its more "compelling" format, Jacobson said the redesign boosted revenue 673 percent.
The Elk City (Okla.) Daily News launched a redesign last summer with Jacobson. The paper is published Tuesday through Friday and Sunday and has a circulation of 4,500. Publisher Elizabeth Perkinson said the paper's last redesign was in the 1980s, and she wanted a more modern look.
After working with Jacobson, Perkinson said she was pleased to receive positive feedback from readers and advertisers about the redesign, which is important in a town of 12,000 with two competing papers (see "Battle for Elk City," E&P, November 2012).
Although the amount of local coverage is still the same, Perkinson said it feels like more content because of the new layout. "We just displayed it better," she said. "Instead of 10 to 12 headlines on the front page, we're down to three to five."
She said circulation has increased slightly. Jacobson also helped train the sales staff to develop better strategies, including selling front page advertisements.
When asked what makes his services stand out, Jacobson said, "We get to the bottom line. Other designers do fine work, but they're focused on the cosmetic. They don't get into the nuts and bolts, and by nature, our clients are worried about money. Our main question is, 'How will this make publishers more money?'"
Located in Fayetteville, N.C., Advantage Newspaper Consultants (newspaperconsultants.com) offers a wide range of services including a TV magazine ad sales program; Business-NOW!, a concentrated sales training and revenue-generated initiative; Platinum Advantage, an integrated ad sales program that packages online and print ads to boost revenue and retention; and iFolds Pro, focused on e-content, e-advertising, and e-delivery.
The company was founded in 1996 and is lead by president Tim Dellinger and vice president John Jones. The company employs more than 20 full-time staff members nationwide.
According to Jones, more than 250 clients use the company's TV magazine program. "About three to four years ago, newspapers were cutting back, but they now realize the TV book is perfect for the newspaper," he said.
The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune revamped its TribTV publication last summer. As reported in an Advantage newsletter, the weekly TV magazine generated no advertising revenue for the newspaper and was composed primarily of listing grids with little editorial content. The editorial and advertising staff at the Tribune and production team at Advantage worked together to redesign the TV magazine to provide entertainment value and an array of advertising positions in the 24-page publication. The result was $400,000 in advertising revenue, exceeding the goal of $300,000.
The McAlester (Okla.) News-Capital serves a smaller market than the Tribune, but the publication, along with other papers owned by parent company Community Newspaper Holdings Inc., has been using the TV magazine for 10 years. Advantage also helps the paper put the TV magazine online as part of its electronic edition. The News-Capital has a daily circulation of 6,200 and a Sunday circulation of 7,200.
Publisher Amy Johns said the TV magazine saw a huge increase in revenue and doubled the budget she had predicted. "Working with Advantage has given us a fresh attitude," she said. "Our salespeople have a hard job to do. They're used to hearing 'no' … having Advantage is like having a new member on our sales team."
Johns said she found value in hiring a consultant. "I always have my publisher's hat on, and I look at the risks. Consultants are worth it if both the publisher and ad manager are willing to buy in … consultants are there to assist you, shed light, and build new energy, but they shouldn't be looked at as being a paper's savior. They are the icing on the cake, not the cake."
Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal director of sales and revenue management Kerry Coke wasn't looking for a consultant when Dellinger contacted her last year, but she was curious to hear what they had to say about their TV magazine program. Coke said the paper's weekly TV guide needed to be revitalized. After hearing Dellinger's proposal, she was skeptical because "it sounded too good to be true."
At the kickoff campaign, Coke said Advantage consultants promised 30 appointments with advertisers, and they were able to deliver those 30 in less than eight minutes.
Coke said she went from a skeptic to a believer when "everything (Advantage) said was going to happen, happened … I saw how they handled themselves with my sales force, and I saw that their objective was to make my business a success."
What makes Advantage stand out, Jones said, is its willingness to talk about revenue. "Advertising is about revenue. Take that out of the equation, and you have a major problem. You can talk digital, mobile, apps until the cows come home, but you need them to turn into a positive revenue stream."
When working with publishers, Jones said the goal is to evaluate each market and create more revenue, and they have found that online advertising has no retention.
"Look at the core product," he said, referring to print. "We used to offer a strictly Web sales program, but we stopped after 18 months because we found retention was terrible."
Jones said he isn't anti-Web or anti-digital, but he is a big advocate of the core product. "Digital revenue is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and until I see it, we have other business to do."
Based in Toronto, KubasPrimedia (kubas.com) was created by the 2010 merger of Kubas Consultants and Primedia Sales and Marketing. According to chairman Len Kubas, Primedia is the largest newspaper representative firm in Canada. Kubas founded Kubas Consultants in 1977 after leaving his position as marketing services director at the Toronto Star. KubasPrimedia has worked with more than 250 newspapers and publishing groups around the world.
KubasPrimedia provides several services focused on sales and advertising, including market expansion, pricing, sales programs, customer retention, and best practices. It also offers an ad cost calculator that can be integrated with all products. In addition, KubasPrimedia offers original research for the industry, including an annual preview study that surveys daily newspaper executives and managers on their expectations for advertising revenues and what strategic initiatives they plan to undertake.
"We don't want to give out cookie-cutter solutions," Kubas said. "(Newspapers) need in-depth analysis on how much to spend, how often, what yields — our analytics help determine that." Kubas also said he sees that "newspapers are not setting the agenda; advertisers are setting the agenda."
Palm Beach (Fla.) Post vice president of revenue development Charles Gerardi said he hired Kubas in 2003 after he saw his depressed advertising rates. "I knew we could do better, and I was looking for strategies that would capture yield in our market." The Post has a daily circulation of 136,000 and a Sunday circulation of 104,000.
Gerardi said Kubas suggested modular formats, which would cut costs and save revenue. Kubas explained in a Local Media Association article that the modular strategy "involved packaging and pricing ads based on a selected number of standard units, rather than allowing advertisers to buy an infinite number of ad sizes using variable space measures such as column inches or agate lines."
Gerardi said Kubas also introduced a multidimensional pricing structure with a number of different levels compared to their former national and local retail options.
He said there were several variables that Kubas helped implement, including tying contracts together with one level of commitment, therefore simplifying discussion with the advertiser; breaking down businesses into categories for more effective pricing, and allowing the paper to create new marketplaces; understanding that the higher the frequency, the better the variable; changing the pricing based on the day of the week as opposed to just daily and Sunday prices, allowing more flexibility for the advertiser; and applying built-in pricing advantages, where the larger the ad, the better the rate.
"We learned that not one size fits all," Gerardi said. "Before, so much of our advertising pricing was based on a gut feeling; now we've brought customizing to our pricing … Kubas helped show us there is more of a science to that gut feeling approach." Gerardi said the paper saw positive results in the first year. "We started with 197 ad sizes. Now we have less than 20. The presentation is much cleaner, and the average frequency and ad sizes went up."
Gannett's director of revenue initiatives Molly Evans said she has worked with Kubas and his team on several occasions in a few markets over the last 10 years. "Initially, the biggest benefit was the techniques (and) best practices consultants brought to the table. Over time, after developing skills and experience by doing it (implementing the new pricing strategy), the big benefit to me was the analysis work they can do. With less staff resources, and in smaller markets where depth of management experience is less, the analysis is a huge component of the work."
Changing Times
Publishers aren't the only ones who have had to adjust to the evolving industry landscape; consultants have had to adjust to the times as well. From redesigning websites to figuring out how to boost digital dollars, consultants have also added more to their plates.
Creative Circle Media Solutions (creativecirclemedia.com) was founded in 1982 by Bill Ostendorf, former Providence (R.I.) Journal managing editor for visuals and new product development. He left his newsroom position in 2000 to consult full time. According to Ostendorf, his company has redesigned 450 newspapers and 200 media websites.
In 2004, Creative Circle introduced several software options. The newest products include QuickAds, a platform that allows any website to benefit from simple, text-based, self-service display ads; and PressReleaseQ, which collects, manages, publishes, archives, and monetizes local business news.
"QuickAds was designed to get a lot of advertisers — print, classifieds, and Web — on a publication's website and do it in a fast, cheap, easy, and flexible way," Ostendorf said. "It was also built to allow local ad managers to create new and fresh ideas online in a matter of minutes with no programming or technical knowledge. You can get creative with QuickAds and go after existing or new markets in a lot of different ways."
Regarding PressReleaseQ, Ostendorf said, "Publishing and providing top SEO for business news and press releases is a $5 billion business for others, but newspapers can do this better than anyone else locally. So, we built a platform that not only delivers great SEO and generates new revenue but is also a big time-saver in the newsroom. This is all new money and should be an easy six-figure, recurring revenue stream for any metro market."
Ostendorf said his consulting work still focuses on improving the print product, but there are more requests for customized digital software. "It reflects the industry," he said. "The transition is messy and difficult, and sadly, there is still potential in print that papers are walking away from."
He said that in 2004, his services were focused 100 percent on print with 90 percent centered on editorial. Today, it's 85 percent digital, with 60 percent of that revolving around revenue.
"(Publishers) all want to figure out how to make money with less staff," he said. "That's not the only way to get ahead. They need to improve the product."
In Middletown, N.Y., the Times Herald-Record used Creative Circle to redesign the newspaper and several other newspapers in the cluster including the Pocono Record in Stroudsburg, Pa., and two weekly newspapers. The Record has a daily circulation of 60,000 and a Sunday circulation of 70,000.
Record executive editor Derek Osenenko said his paper underwent two redesigns in 2008 and 2010, reducing the size of the tabloid publication, and transforming it to the size of the New York Post. "It really forced us to push local news, create sections, and adjust our plan to execute on a smaller size."
Creative Circle also helped engineer a copy desk consolidation that reduced expenses. Osenenko said the staff in Middletown also streamlined production with the Pocono Record, which was a challenge because the Pocono Record was a broadsheet. He said Ostendorf and his staff created an original redesign for the Pocono Record and didn't rely on templates. Ostendorf said the paper experienced an increase in newsstand sales as a result of the redesign.
Ostendorf also redesigned the print classified sections, introducing liner ads in the regular run of the paper. "It opened up numbers, added revenue, and targeted advertisers who normally would advertise with us," Osenenko said. "It also extended our reach out to a wider audience."
Creative Circle also redesigned the website and weekly electronic publication of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association. Executive director Edward VanHorn said the association could have selected to work with a "younger, edgier" technology firm but chose Ostendorf's company because it understood newspapers.
"We wanted an original, creative design — not a template," VanHorn said. "But it was also critical to have a content management system that was easy to use, highly functional, and supported by a team of experts. We knew from working with (Ostendorf) on other projects that he and his team are driven to produce outstanding work and over-the-top customer service."
GWR Research (gwrresearch.com) founder Gary Randazzo has embraced the changing industry formats, saying he believes the Internet is not disruptive technology. "It's sustaining … and it's unfair (for newspapers) to create separate news organizations and projects for it … it should be treated as another way to serve customers."
Randazzo, who has served as senior vice president at the Houston Chronicle and as executive vice president and general manager of the San Francisco Chronicle, left Hearst Corp. in 2005 to work full-time at his marketing and management-consulting firm in Spring, Texas.
He said his services recently have focused on financial system designs, sales management, and structure review. When working with newspapers, he said his goal is to "define a strategy, look at the current advertisement and structure base, and find new revenue streams."
The Jewish Herald-Voice in Houston worked with Randazzo a few years ago to address some of the paper's challenges. The weekly paper has 5,000 paid circulation and 30,000 readership. President and advertising manager Vicki Samuels said the paper's goals included "cutting expenses without cutting payroll, and adding incentive for the salespeople."
"I've been in the newspaper business for 20 years, and I was running out of new ideas," she said. "We wanted to hear new ideas from an experienced eye."
The family owned business has been in publication since 1908. "We've worked with the same vendors for years and years, and we think the price we're being given is fine," Samuels said. "It never occurred to us to go back and get a better deal." In particular, Samuels said Randazzo helped them negotiate with their printer to get competitive rates and control their expenses.
Randazzo also helped create a budget for a digital edition and create incentives for the sales staff. Samuels said the incentives motivated the sales team and caused them to work harder and sell more, bringing in more revenue for the company. "Anything (Randazzo) suggested is still in place," she said.
Mel Taylor, founder of Mel Taylor Media (meltaylormedia.com), based in Philadelphia, has more than 25 years' experience in television, radio, and newspapers. For the past 15 years, Taylor said he has been working with the Internet space, helping traditional local media go after the digital world.
Taylor listed his most in-demand services as search engine and social media optimization; email marketing and creating a database with the ability to capture email addresses; and advertorials (specifically, advertising videos).
"The number one thing I try to teach newspapers is they are a marketing agency," he said. "They can help small businesses with all forms of marketing and advertising … newspaper sales reps need to be seen as more than paper."
Taylor said he primarily works with publishers on several challenges, including making over their sales and media kit, which is often out of date; inventory management, where Taylor will go into the paper's ad server and see where they can make money; and learning how to create good contracts with advertisers.
He said what makes his services stand out is his experience with all media and his focus on the "unsexy part of the business, such as pricing and contracts — the reasons why papers are struggling with making money."
From the Outside In
Hiring a consultant can be well worth the time, energy, and money, as long as the consultant is the right fit for your business. If you're considering hiring one, here are some tips on what to look for when researching and selecting a consultant.
"Find people that will tell you the truth, not what you want to hear," Advantage's Jones said.
"You need someone who will understand your problem," Ostendorf of Creative Circle said. "A lot of consultants will take on jobs but do not have experience with that issue. They need to have had dealt with that problem before."
"Talk to other clients, particularly if they are working on similar projects," KubasPrimedia's Kubas said.
"Think about the overall costs," SNPA executive director VanHorn said. "The lowest price is not always the best buy."
"Are they willing to take on calculating risks?" Palm Beach Post's Gerardi asked. "And will they keep your objectives first?"
Jacobson of Brass Tacks Design said rapport is important. "You should treat it like a short-term marriage … be clear with your goals." Jacobson said he starts in Microsoft Word, where he asks his clients to list three goals. "When it's in writing, they're more committed to that one sheet of paper … you can't hit your target if you don't know what you're aiming at."

"BloodTrack® has fundamentally transformed our ability to deliver blood products by creating a more efficient process whereby blood is ordered just on time, and only when needed. This point-of-care solution has helped us significantly reduce unnecessary ordering and transfusing while realizing cost
savings and enhancing patient care."
Anesthesiologist & Transfusion Committee Member, mid-Atlantic region hospital, USA, 07.2016

"Haemonetics has been a reliable partner in patient blood management at the RKU since 1985. The design and development of the Ulm Autologous Transfusion Concept (ATU) was made possible largely because of the company's wide portfolio both in apheresis and in automated autologous transfusion. Many innovative developments were only possible due to our clinical experience combined with the technical equipment of Haemonetics, and thanks to a highly productive cooperative approach."
Dr. Peter M. Geiger, Medical Director, RKU University and Rehabilitation Hospitals, Ulm, Germany, 03.2013
"As part of the tender process we evaluated Haemonetics' newest advancement in autotransfusion systems, the Cell Saver Elite. One of the key criteria for the evaluation was the haematocrit level of the resulting blood product. We performed quality control tests for this purpose and the average level was 62%. This result was above the level of range that we were expecting, hence we are extremely satisfied."
Ian Brown, Senior ODP, James Cook Hospital, Middlesborough, UK, 12.2012
"Haemonetics' solutions helped us develop an effective autologous blood management program. The OrthoPAT system is a powerful tool that supports us to provide safe and secure medical care benefits to our patients in joint reconstructive surgery."
Kazuo Hirakawa, Hospital Director, and Takeshi Kaneko, Department of Orthopedics, Shonan Kamakura Joint Reconstruction Center's, Japan, 04.2010
"We will continue to use the OrthoPAT System on THA and TKA cases as part of our blood management program. We believe Haemonetics' solution has had an impact on the number of patients needing transfusions, by reducing the number of allogeneic transfusions, and thereby increasing safety in orthopedic surgeries."
Takashi Nakamura, Department Lecturer, Toho University Omori Medical Center, Japan, 04.2010
"The OrthoPAT system is efficient, cost effective and gives me the confidence to tell patients, 'I won't have to give you any blood except your own.' "
Stuart Gordon, M.D. Orthopedic Surgeon, USA, 07.2011
"Quite frankly, I was overwhelmed with how much of a difference using the OrthoPAT made. Having the data to back it up really drove the point home and reinforced that what we were seeing in practice was real."
Dr. Steven Jones, Orthopedic Surgeon, USA, 05.2011
"I knew the device was doing some really good things for the patients and the blood bank, but the numbers really backed up what I thought was going on… I haven't seen another machine out there that does what the OrthoPAT does… it's just a really good product."
Damian Loehle, Operating Room Nurse, USA, 07.2011
"I am pleased that the Haemonetics TEG system solves one of our blood management challenges. The TEG system helps us reduce unnecessary blood transfusions, thus helping us provide better care to our patients and economic savings to our hospital."
Dr. Tsou Mei-Yung, Chief, Taiwan, 04.2009
"With the cooperation of Haemonetics, we changed our blood management program in 2005 to our significant benefit. By eliminating preoperative blood donation and using OrthoPAT and Cell Saver extensively, we achieved a remarkable reduction in homologous blood units—up to 160 units less per year—which works out to about a savings of 50,000 € for the hospital over three years. Our blood management practice will continue in this direction for the future, with Haemonetics as our partner."
Dr. F-J. Unterburger, Head of Department, Germany, 04.2009
"For over 25 years, we have enjoyed an excellent relationship with Haemonetics. During this time we have always been pleased with the company's devices, disposables and consultation services. Together, Haemonetics solutions and personal contact with the company's representatives have helped RKU develop an effective and profitable autologous blood management program that has benefited our patients."
Dr. Peter Geiger, Head of Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Germany, 04.2009
"The efficiency of the products using the Haemonetics bags has doubled. With the Acrodose™ Pooling Methodology we are able to now manufacture a platelet pool with 4.5 units of platelets. Compare that to just 20 years ago when we used to use 10 units of platelets. These efficiencies enable us to manufacture more therapeutic doses of platelets from the same number of platelet concentrates … enabling us to do more with less."
Alicia Prichard, Senior Vice President, Biologics Department, 10.2014 View document

"Our Haemonetics trainers were top-notch and very easy to work with, while at the same time, they held us to a high level of achievement. I especially appreciated the fact that the focus was not on memorizing mathematical calculations, but rather on how to understand and apply the Six Sigma tools in a highly practical manner. Haemonetics Corporation's many years of experience in blood collection meant that we never had to explain the subtleties associated with our particular industry."

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 3: Beauty of the Wild
In the early 1900s, many natural areas were being destroyed due to the rapid growth of cities and towns. Jens Jensen worried that people were losing touch with nature. He feared that living in an entirely artificial environment would leave humanity spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually empty. Through a variety of ways, Jensen promoted an appreciation for the outdoors to emotionally and spiritually uplift city dwellers. Many of these efforts were geared toward children, such as the addition of children's gardens to several parks. Through these gardens, he believed children would grow up to respect, preserve, and love nature.
Because he appreciated the native environment of the Midwest and was willing to act on his convictions, Jens Jensen emerged as a leader of the conservation movement. During his service on the Chicago City Council's Special Park Commission he identified important natural areas. His efforts ultimately led the city to establish the Forest Preserve of Cook County in 1915. At the time, there were few laws or policies to protect natural scenic areas.
To make Chicagoans aware of the beautiful countryside outside of the city and generate public support for conservation, Jens Jensen and some influential friends sponsored "Saturday Afternoon Walking Trips" beginning in 1908. They took turns leading groups to natural areas outside of the city. Often, more than 200 people participated in these excursions. Because of the popularity of the "Saturday Afternoon" walks, Jensen formed the Prairie Club. Members took walking trips to natural sites threatened by development. Jensen had studied the Indiana dunes and led 300 members to see the site. Five years later, in 1913, the Prairie Club built a beach house on the dunes in Tremont, Indiana and produced and performed a small masque, an outdoor drama, called "The Spirit of the Dunes." The club's efforts accelerated, and a 1917 pageant drew more than 50,000 people to two performances. In 1926, the state responded by creating the Indiana Dunes State Park to protect some 2,250 acres of the dunes.
In 1913, Jensen formed "Friends of Our Native Landscape," an organization devoted to saving natural areas. The first meeting was scheduled to take place in June at a threatened white pine forest near Oregon, Illinois. Jensen thought that outdoor drama would be a compelling way to interest people in conservation. He asked his friend, dramatist Kenneth Sawyer Goodman to write a masque to be performed at the meeting. Goodman wrote Beauty of the Wild, which tells of the plight of nature when the Pioneer and the Builder invaded lands once occupied by Native Americans. Five players and one musician could perform the masque. Each year, the Friends of Our Native Landscape met in a different threatened natural area and members of the organization performed Beauty of the Wild, or other masques that were written in later years. Thousands of people attended these performances.
Jensen was so pleased with the masques that he began including "player's greens," outdoor theater spaces for drama and music, in his designs for private residences and public parks. In his Columbus Park design, Jensen made certain that visitors to dusk performances got to see the sun set over the park's trees and the players illuminated by the rising moon. He envisioned the Columbus Park lagoon as the site of water pageants and designed it with audiences in mind, as well.
In his later years, Jensen retired to his summer property in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin. He helped establish many of Door County, Wisconsin's parks and the Ridges Sanctuary. Above all, he dedicated himself to creating a "school of the soil" where pupils could draw enduring values from rock, sun, water, and wilderness. In 1935, inspired by the folk schools of his native Denmark, Jensen founded "The Clearing," a hands-on school to promote natural landscape design and an ethic of conservation. Jensen directed the school until his death 15 years later, just after his 91st birthday. The Danish immigrant left his adopted nation both a rich legacy of beautiful landscapes and a challenge, to set aside sections of the wilderness so that future generations might study and love it.
Questions for Reading 3
1. Why do you think Jensen took people for walks in the countryside?
2. What is a player's green? Why do you think Jensen included them in his designs? Why do you think Jensen used outdoor theater to try to save natural landscapes?
3. Compare and contrast Jensen's efforts at promoting conservation with modern environmentalists' techniques for involving the public.
4. Why do you think Jensen's organization was called Friends of Our Native Landscape? Why was such a group needed?
5. Considering that Jensen had the opportunity to design landscapes, why do you think he cared about conservation?

Video on the web has always been a bit disappointing.
After all, it's pretty much just like television, only smaller. And unlike the rest of the web, video is just as much a passive experience in your browser as it is anywhere else.
Mozilla would like to change that. Developers at the browser maker's Drumbeat project – an initiative that advocates new open web technologies – have created Popcorn, a tool intended to make web video every bit as interactive as the rest of the web.
Popcorn is a very new effort and still a bit rough around the edges, but results are already impressive. Popcorn adds metadata to HTML5 native web video, annotating videos with information like location, details about the people and topics in the video, subtitles, and licensing details. The metadata can be used in real time to add to the experience.
For example, the subtitles attached to the video can be sent to an online translation tool and converted to whatever language you want on the fly. JavaScript handles the syncing. Also, the location data associated with a video can be plotted on a map, and the viewer can browse the map while the video plays.
Check out Mozilla's Popcorn demo page. You'll see a number of widgets surrounding the main video. Popcorn.js pulls topics, places and people out of the video and plots the locations on a map and searches Wikipedia, Google News, Flickr and Twitter for more info on the people and topics in the video.
The result is what Mozilla developer Tristan Nitot calls "hypervideo." What Nitot means is that Popcorn is connecting video to the rest of the web, linking it into the hypertext world.
If you're not using a browser capable of running the demo, you can watch a video of the demo on the Drumbeat website.
As cool as this initial demo is, Popcorn is a long way from a finished product or even usable tool for anything beyond experimenting. Also, the demo shows off several widgets all at once, which makes the experience seem a little chaotic and crowded. But used as a spice, only where appropriate, Popcorn provides extra depth around videos, and the possibilities are thought-provoking.

Frisco park chooses its own adventure
The never-evers of the skiing and snowboarding world can rejoice this holiday season with the opportunity to learn the sport in a mellow, no-pressure setting. The Frisco Adventure Park kicks off the "Adventure Start" ski and ride lessons on the beginner slope, Poppy's Place, Saturday, just in time for the holiday season. Two-hour lessons taught by Copper Mountain Ski & Ride instructors are available starting Saturday for ages 8 and up. The Frisco Adventure Park teamed with the nearby ski area to offer the best training for beginner skiers and riders. "Teaching kids is a labor of love – all our coaches are selected by their aptitude for working with kids," said Cory van Gulden, the ski and ride school supervisor at Copper Mountain. It takes a special person with patience and understanding to teach kids, van Gulden said, and each instructor sent over to the adventure park has specialized training to work with kids and skiers and riders with no experience. "Kid's coaches attend extra training on top of technical training to understand the needs of beginners and how different skiers and riders digest information," van Gulden said. Part of the learning comes from having a less stressful environment."It's a nice setting and more relaxed atmosphere – the people taking lessons will have the feeling of being the only ones on the hill, so it's a great option for the never-evers that want to learn," said Jon "Zeke" Zdechlik, the park's general manager. "It's more intimate and quiet with less skier traffic on the hill – it's not as chaotic as other big resorts can be." Zdechlik said the grade of Poppy's Place slope is similar to Midwest ski areas and offers a hill with a gentle grade.Lessons are lead by Copper Mountain Ski & Ride School instructors in two-hour group sessions. Groups will not exceed eight participants. "We keep the group sizes no larger than eight people so instructors can work with each person individually," Zdechlik said. Van Gulden said the instructors focus on adapting to the different learning styles within the group."At the Frisco Adventure Park, the intimidation factor plays less of a role because it's really just the instructors on the hill with those taking the lessons," van Gulden said. "They have the room, the time and the freedom to become relaxed and comfortable."With two-hours lessons, van Gulden said the participants don't get as tired or burned out. Plus, the nearby tubing hill provides variety."Frisco has made it really easy for people to get the best of both worlds – the mellow terrain offers a great learning space and when they're done, they can go tubing," van Gulden said. "It's not easy to get burned out on the day."Special for the holidays, the adventure park is extending its tubing hill operating hours until 7 p.m. starting Saturday through Jan. 6. The last session begins at 6 p.m.Tubing reservations and lessons can be scheduled by calling (970) 668-2558 or online at friscoadventurepark.com. Reservations must be canceled no later than 5 p.m. the day before your reservation in order to avoid a cancellation charge.

Please keep in mind that I specialize in southern New England research. I am going to be completely out of my element researching information about the Civil War or the South. I'm going to need your help!
Recently, Bill West of West in New England wrote about creating T Charts based on a concept from Val D. Greenwood's book The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy, 3rd Edition. In this exercise you draw a T on a piece of paper and then write what you already know on the left hand side and write what this suggests on the right hand side.
I thought this would be a good place to start with our mysterious Carl.
T Chart for Carl
Known Information
What this Suggests
The name of the person in the photo is Carl
Carl is not a completely common name in the mid-1800s in the United States. Ancestry.com returned 1,168 'Carls' (exact name search) from the 1850 US Federal Census out of a 23,191,876 total population as identified by Wikipedia using US Census records. The uniqueness of the name should help in finding him. Also there may be ethnic associations tied to the name. Because his name in the caption was written by his
He was 18 years old when he was killed on April 1, 1865
If he was 18 years old on April 1, 1865 he would have been born between April 2, 1846 and March 21, 1847 (Please check my math, I'm not always good with that!)
He was killed in combat during the fighting at Dinwiddie Court House (March 31) and Five Forks (April 1), shortly before Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.
The Dinwiddie Court House is located in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. This was a Confederate victory yet there were more Confederate casualties at this battle than union.
The Battle of Five Forks also took place in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. This was a Union victory and there were many more Confederate casualties than Union.
This suggests that Carl was a Civil War soldier who was associated with a unit present at one or both of these battles. It is unclear whether he was with a Confederate or Union company.
[information from Wikipedia and not independently verified]
Possible identification: Carlos E. Rogers of Company K, 185th New York, who was killed on either March 29 or 30, 1865, at Quaker Road in Dinwiddie County. (Source: North South Trader's Civil War, vol. 35, 2010, p. 55)
This suggests that someone has done some prior research which may or may not be accurate.
The caption with the photo was written by Carl's
This tells us that Carl's
Carl's hair was blonde
A locket of hair was included in the photo frame. Perhaps his blonde hair is a clue to his ethnic background.
"Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." [quote from Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 2]
This, and the caption as a whole, suggests that his
Is there anything else you can add to my T chart for Carl? Can you infer any other suggestions based on what we know?
In the next post I'll start creating a research plan based on what we can infer from this T chart.

I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 12.10 on a new drive. I was running Windows7 on my SSD but when the drive crashed, I decided to use that as an excuse to make the switch to Ubuntu. I've been experimenting with it on my old laptop until I got my SSD replaced under warranty.
Now I have my SSD back and want to install Ubuntu on my desktop machine. I used UNetbootin to make a bootable flash drive. I then I went into my BIOS and made sure USB loaded before the hard drive. However, when I try to load it I get an error that says:
Loading operating system ...
boot error
I know the flash drive works because if I reboot my laptop or my other Windows PC with the flash drive and it loads into Ubuntu...just when I try to do it in the PC with no OS currently on the drive.

A 400-pound Orlando teen with an unending appetite may soon become a ward of the state if his mom can't get him healthy.
Josiah Lewis is only 13 but already has diabetes and high blood pressure from overeating, and doctors say his condition is life-threatening.
Mom Brenda Lewistold clickorlando.com that she's trying to get Josiah to slim down, but he won't stop eating and refuses to take medicine.
"At 13, how can I make him? What do you want me to do?" a frustrated Brenda said. "These people are going to come in my house and take my child and sign me over as unfit. I don't know how you feel about that but I think very highly of that, that's not right."
The Department of Children and families became alarmed after Josiah missed doctors appointments. DCF said they have the right to remove a child from a home if the medical condition is life-threatening.
Though that scenario is rare, it's not unprecedented. In May, a 550-pound 14-year-old was removed from his South Carolina home, put in foster care, and his mother arrested for his obese condition.
As of now, Josiah is still at home, and Brenda said she's doing the best she can to trim the fat.
"He knows it's serious," Brenda said. "He didn't come with a manuscript or a guide. I [have] just been working my way through."

Eight out of 10 couches contain flame retardant chemicals that are linked to heightened cancer risk, developmental delays in children or are lacking adequate health information, according to a study released by UC Berkeley and Duke University researchers.
The study also shows an increase in the number of couches bought throughout the U.S. that contain flame retardants. That number went up even though California is the only state that has a flame retardant regulation. While 75 percent of couches bought before 2005 contained a flame retardant chemical, the rate rose to 93 percent in couches bought since 2005, the study found.
"I didn't expect to find such a high percentage of furniture bought outside of California to meet the standard," said Arlene Blum, an author and founder of the Berkeley-based Green Science Policy Institute. "It's led to the use of more toxic chemicals."
The study is coming out as California authorities, at the direction of Gov. Jerry Brown, are revising the state's Technical Bulletin 117, which requires furniture foam to resist combustion when exposed to a flame for 12 seconds.
An updated bulletin is being drafted that will require couch upholstery to resist catching fire when it comes into contact with something, such as a cigarette, that is smoldering, according to Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the Department of Consumer Affairs, which includes the state's furniture safety bureau.
The change would mean that many couches would meet the fire-safety standard as they are currently made, without adding chemicals to foam, Heimerich said.
Heimerich said a draft regulation is expected to be released in December for public comment. The new rule may take effect next summer.
The study released today sheds light on which chemicals are used most frequently in furniture foam.
Researchers collected 102 samples of foam from couches bought from 1985 to 2010. They found that 85 percent of the samples contained a flame retardant. The chemicals tend to leech from foam and accumulate in household dust. People, particularly toddlers, can ingest them through hand-to-mouth contact.
The most common chemical in the couches was Tris phosphate, found in 42 couch samples. The chemical was added in 2011 to the state's Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to cause cancer. The 1986 ballot initiative requires companies to warn consumers who would be exposed to the chemical a year after it's added to the list.
The American Chemistry Council, which represents chemical makers, said the listing does not "automatically mean a consumer's health is threatened."
The second-most common chemical, discovered in 17 couch samples, was PentaBDE, which was banned in California in 2004 but remains in many couches, which most people keep for about 15 years. That chemical has been linked to problems with fertility in adults and lower IQ and impaired motor function in children.
The third-most prevalent chemical was Firemaster 550, a compound made by the firm Chemtura. While there are few studies of that chemical, one linked Firemaster 550 exposure to rapid weight gain and early onset of puberty in young rats.
Heather Stapleton, an associate professor of environmental chemistry at Duke University and an author of the Firemaster study and the couch study released today, said concerned consumers are unlikely to learn much about their own couch's chemicals.
Many couches made outside California have no label saying they comply with Technical Bulletin 117. Yet 64 percent of couches with no label still contain flame retardants, the new study found. Also, few furniture makers can trace their supply chain back to a foam supplier to find out which fire-fighting product was used.
"There's no way to find out if it does or doesn't" contain flame retardants, Stapleton said. "You have no way of knowing what's in there."
Researchers say washing hands and dusting with a damp rag or mop are good ways to limit dust ingestion and reduce exposure.

Put a Stop to 'Do I Look Fat?'
When One Partner Is Overweight, Resolving Conflict in the Relationship Takes Two
Betsy and Jarom Schow agree that the biggest problem they've faced in 12 years of marriage isn't money, sex or parenting. It's weight.
Ms. Schow, 31 years old, was heavy for much of her life. When she was growing up, her family ate a lot of processed foods and takeout, and she rarely exercised, she recalls. In school, children "mooed" at her when she walked by. She started her first diet at age 12.
She met her future husband in college, in what she calls "a skinny period." Mr. Schow, now 36 and a software engineer, was outdoorsy and thin. The two went on hiking, skiing and rock-climbing dates. Even so, by the time they married in 2000, Ms. Schow had put on 25 pounds. Every year, it seemed she would lose 25 pounds and gain 30 back. By the Schows' fifth wedding anniversary, Ms. Schow weighed 220 pounds. And she was very unhappy about it.
Few subjects in a relationship are more difficult to talk about than one person's weight. Even people who aren't overweight can obsess about their appearance (sadly, these mostly tend to be women). How can a partner raise the issue with someone who is overweight without causing hurt or embarrassment? And how can an overweight person address his or her weight problem without obsessing and harming the relationship?
Touchy Topic
The Schows, who live in Alpine, Utah, stopped doing fun things together. When they went hiking, Ms. Schow would read a book at the trailhead, waiting for her husband to return. She stopped going to his parents' Sunday dinners because, surrounded by thin people, she felt embarrassed and judged. For several years, she and her husband slept in separate rooms because she felt anxious and uncomfortable in her body, and had trouble sleeping.
There were arguments. More than once, Mr. Schow asked his wife to change her outfit, saying, "That's not made for someone your size, Sweetheart." And there was the unforgettable occasion when Ms. Schow, "trying to spice things up in the bedroom," did a playful little dance, naked, she recalls. Her husband told her, "I guess you are one of those people who looks better with clothes on." (He apologized immediately but she still didn't speak to him for a week.)
Today, Mr. Schow says he has "no idea" why he blurted out such a thing. "I haven't lived it down yet," he says. He never found his wife unattractive, Mr. Schow says, but after she lost 75 pounds, and kept the weight off, he did feel more attracted to her.
Mixed-weight couples, where one partner is overweight and the other one isn't, have more relationship conflict, including arguments and feelings of anger and resentfulness, than same-weight couples, according to a study by researchers at the University of Puget Sound, in Tacoma, Wash., and the University of Arizona, in Tucson, published last month in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. Of 43 heterosexual couples in the study, those who reported the most conflict were a healthy-weight man and an overweight woman. When just the man was overweight, couples reported no more conflict than same-weight couples.
The researchers said they don't know whether a weight difference caused couples to argue more, or whether conflict caused one partner to eat more and become overweight. Couples had less conflict when the overweight person reported feeling the partner was supportive of their efforts to exercise and eat a healthy diet. "That is significant because even though they are at risk for more conflict, there are communication mechanisms that can reduce this," says Tricia Burke, the study's lead author and visiting assistant professor in the communication studies department at the University of Puget Sound.
Another finding: Mixed-weight couples who ate together frequently reported more conflict than those who seldom ate together.
Ms. Schow recalls she would ask her husband to help her stick to her diet. Yet when he encouraged her to eat something healthy, she would accuse him of implying she was fat. "I was extremely frustrated," Mr. Schow recalls. "It felt like I was just saying the same things over and over, and we were stuck in this loop."
After they argued, Mr. Schow often left the house or hid in his room. His wife's deep unhappiness magnified their other problems, he says, whether it was money or how much time they spent together. He also worried about what her attempts at extreme dieting would do to her health.
The couple stopped having sex. Ms. Schow says she felt too self-conscious. "I would try and help her feel better about herself, telling her, 'You are beautiful the way you are,' " Mr. Schow says. He began to wonder: "If she doesn't want to have sex with me, what's wrong with me?" One night, Ms. Schow told her husband she wanted a divorce. "The weight caused a rift that just kept growing," she says.
Experts say it is imperative for couples to communicate in a loving way when one partner has a weight problem. Catherine Hastings, a marriage and family therapist in Lancaster, Pa., says a person who isn't overweight should address the issue with an overweight partner "in a way that makes them feel that you are rooting for them. The worst thing is when you are teasing or nagging or judging."
A spouse should say things that demonstrate support. The question "Are you really going to eat that?" doesn't demonstrate support.
A healthy-weight partner should consider ways to show a willingness to team up to change behaviors. For example, the partner could ask the overweight loved-one for suggestions. Should you avoid keeping sweets in the house or skip dessert when dining out together? Almost everyone could stand to get more exercise and eat a more-healthy diet, and the healthy-weight partner can help by being a role model.
The person who isn't overweight also should be aware of his or her own insecurities and possibly a subconscious need to sabotage the partner's weight-loss efforts. "The overall atmosphere should be, 'I love you and I want you to be around for as long as possible,' " Dr. Hastings says.
After Ms. Schow raised the issue of divorce and was throwing clothes in a suitcase, she told her husband she wanted out because she felt trapped—in the marriage and her own misery. Mr. Schow calmly walked to the garage and let the air out of the tires of her jeep. "I felt that if I could calm her down and get her feeling better, we could work toward a resolution," he recalls.
Ms. Schow didn't leave. But she did continue to complain about her weight. Then one night, as she was talking yet again how she was about packing on pounds, her husband said sleepily, "Turn off your thinker and go back to sleep."
That seems, in hindsight, like the turning point, Ms. Schow says. She stopped the extreme dieting and concentrated on counting calories and getting exercise, eventually running four times a week and doing yoga and Zumba. After she lost 40 pounds, her husband told her that his dream was to run a marathon with her. They ran the Park City marathon together in August 2011.
Ms. Schow lost 75 pounds in 10 months. The couple began hiking, biking and rock climbing again—and teaching their 3- and 6-year-old daughters to be active. Ms. Schow wrote a book about her experience, "Finished Being Fat," published earlier this month.
The Schow's marriage improved. "The fact that my weight isn't such a focus in our marriage anymore—because I made it bigger than it had to be—gives us an opportunity to change the discussion, instead of an endless loop of 'I am fat.' 'No, you aren't,' " Ms. Schow says. "As I started to fix myself, I stopped fighting myself, so I stopped fighting him, too."

Love is in the air for Valentine's Day, but don't get fooled by processed, white sugar laden "goodies" that are chock-full of bleaching agents, hydrogenated trans-fats, artificial flavors, and Sodium Metabisulfites (processed shrimp pieces). Show some real love with real, raw chocolate!
And if you want to get creative, we've got some sexy recipes to indulge your sweetheart, homemade style!
The fact is that chocolate doesn't have to be junk food; when raw and minimally processed, it's actually a superfood. Cacao is extraordinarily rich in antioxidants which work to support the immune system.1 It's also bursting with vitamins A & C, magnesium, potassium, manganese, zinc, and copper. Plus energy-boosting cacao is known to contain resveratrol, which can protect your brain and nervous system, and increase longevity.2
