How one Yelp review shows consumers do participate in showrooming—even if they don't know it.
I'm training for a half marathon and I needed a new pair of running shoes. Going against the grain of precisely what helps me make my livelihood as a reporter—e-commerce—I was set on buying them in a store.
Now, I know there are many sophisticated tactics online retailers employ to help runners nab the right pair of kicks (some even let you send in a video of yourself running to analyze your stride and gait). But when it comes to my precious running shoes, which will spend many an intimate mile with me, I like to run in and around a physical store before I make my selections, testing out several pairs. Usually by the time I've put the salesperson through all my hemming and hawing, I feel bad going online and ordering the same pair for $15 bucks less.
Others, it appears, don't.
In my quest for a store that would help me find sneakers that suited my wide foot and midfoot strike, I went to Yelp.com to check out neighborhood shoe store reviews. It was there—in the very first review—that I saw that showrooming does exist. And it was clear that yes—it could be forcing local mom-and-pop, family-owned businesses to try and match the prices of web behemoths like Amazon.com, lest they lose a sale.
The review was for the Chicago-based Alamo shoe store. And, it read as follows:
"Being a nurse who is on his feet for 12-hour shifts, I need extremely comfortable, durable shoes—and would pay a pretty penny for them. I began touching every shoe I could get my hands on and the employee Tony stopped me and asked me what I was looking for. I gave him the scoop and he was extremely helpful in finding the perfect shoes...mind you, a New Balance pair that even matched my tacky yellow scrub top and white see-through pants! I was given the opportunity to try on several pairs of shoes at my own pace while walking on the various floor types around the store…."
Great. This store sounded like it would put up with me spending an hour trying (and retrying) on the same four pairs of New Balances.
But then came the real kicker:
"Since I am a crafty beaver, I pulled up Zappos and Amazon on my cell phone to see what the same shoes were priced at online. Since they were cheaper on Amazon.com, Alamo matched the competitor's price and gave me the same deal of $85 (saving me $15!)."
There it was. My poof that showrooming is happening—by consumers who likely have never even heard of the term. And, sadly, at least to me, times are changing and Alamo can't get by with charging a little more for great in-store customer service.
Sitting in my office each day, I often wonder if all the news stories and press releases I read to stay up on industry trends really apply to everyday life. In the case of showrooming it is looking like they just might.
And I didn't even get past the first review.

The Emery High Theatre Department will present the wild and wacky musical SPAMALOT on November 21, 22, 23 at 7 p.m. each evening in the Emery High Auditorium. The admission cost will be $4 for students and children and $5 for adults. Tickets are available at the door on the nights of performance. Refreshments will be available for purchase during intermission to help fund the expenses of the play. SPAMALOT is the musical play version of the Monte Python Movie - Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The book and lyrics are by Eric Idle, one of the original members of the comedy troop Monty Python, and the music is by John Du Prez and Eric Idle. The original movie was produced by the Monty Python group in 1975 and starred Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Eric Idle. The movie was a takeoff on their popular BBC television series Monty Python's Flying Circus. The play was recently released from Broadway and professional productions and made available for school and amateur production. Emery High is one of the first schools in the State of Utah to produce this musical comedy.
SPAMALOT is the story, put to music, of King Arthur gathering up knights to sit at Camelot around his famous round table. The knights are then given a quest, by God, to find the Holy Grail, the cup Jesus used at the last supper. The Grail is found and all is well. However, it's not as easy as it sounds. On the search for the grail the intrepid knights meet the Lady of the Lake, the Knights Who Say Ni, Not Dead Fred, the Black Night, Tim the Enchanter and many others. King Arthur also has to find a shrubbery and put on a Broadway musical. In the end, the message gleaned from the many adventures is "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life."
The play involves 32 Emery High students, many in multiple roles. Spencer Fauver is Arthur, King of the Britons. Tanner Petersen is the Lady of the Lake; Madelyn Carter is Patsy; Savannah Woolsey is the Wench of the Water; Mark DeBry plays Dennis and Galahad; Melece Pulli is the Lady of the Grail; and Zac Clifford is Not Dead Fred. Hunter Potter, McKade Hansen, Reece Behling, Charlie Turner, Levi Jensen, Jax Gardner, Colton Timothy and Kaden Oakeson are all knights, as well as a few other roles. The Laker Girls, who accompany the Lady of the Lake, include Hailey Johnson, Aspen Bloomer, Brittany Fortner, and Kaitlyn Saling. Shantel Sitterud, Mariah Behling, Whitney Murdoch, and Sarah Roberts are the Knights Who Say Ni, the Reude French Tauntiers, the Minstrels, and the Flagellants. Cheyanne Carter is the Historian and Concorde is Ryleigh Winn. And the cast is rounded out with Jasmine Frederick, Jamie Gilbert, Randi Mecham, and Shelby Smith appearing as villagers and in many other roles.
Though the movie was a bit risqué in places, the play, with permission from the production company, is well edited for high school performance and is very suitable for the whole family. The comedy is fast and furious and the music is fun. SPAMALOT features "the Fish Schlaping Song," "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," "The Song That Goes Like This," "Camelot," "I'm All Alone," and many others. The play is under the direction of Neal Peacock, his 166th directed play, with musical direction by Marilee Cox, choreography by McKette Sitterud, and scenic design by the Emery High Stage Crew and the theatre classes. Peacock, the director, commented on the scenery, "This is the biggest set I have ever built in my 31 years of teaching and directing. It is really fantastic and I think that the audience will love the scenery as much as the play. Mark DeBry (a junior at Emery High) has been our artist and he is outstanding.
SPAMALOT lasts about 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission. Refreshments will be for sale in the adjacent lunch room during intermission with the proceeds going to help offset the expense of the play. "Because this play was so recently on Broadway the royalties and rental are high as well as the scenery and costumes costing a lot. This is one of the most expensive plays I've ever produced," said Peacock. In spite of that tickets are only $4 per student and child and $5 per adult. Tickets are purchased at the door on the nights of the performances. Both the main doors and the north parking lot doors will be open to accommodate the audiences and help them into the building more quickly.

Twitter Hack Briefly Renders Self-Promoter's Tweets Comprehensible
Guy Kawasaki, a former Apple executive famous for popularizing the practice of "evangelism" in tech marketing, loves Twitter, like every good self-promoting hack. But how can you tell when a hack gets hacked?
Twitter, a service which lets users post brief, 140-character messages for friends and perfect strangers alike, has already evolved its own telegraphic grammar of @ signs ("tweets," or messages, directed "at" a specific user, yet posted publicly) and # signs (denoting a topic for the message). Add to that services like TinyURL and Bit.ly which condense Web addresses into short, unreadable masses of characters. It's also spawned a cottage industry of applications which people use to post messages, with oddball names like Twhirl and TweetDeck and Ping.fm. The result are messages like these:
It's the very definition of too insidery. How are tech newcomers supposed to decode all these inscrutable traditions.
So when a tipster asked me if Kawasaki's Twitter account had been hacked, after it started displaying some incomprehensible messages about fried chicken, I stared at it for a while. Eventually I gave up and just called Kawasaki to ask.
Yes, he told me, when I reached him at an airport, his account had been hacked, but it was probably his fault. "I was using a new service called Adjix, and I did something too fast," he told me. "I can't explain it." Sort of like Twitter.
Kawasaki then suggested I speculate that he faked the hacking to get more attention. He added that he loved the hacker's tweets about fried chicken, and would gladly add it as a topic to his website Alltop.com. See? Everything on Twitter ends up being about self-promotion.
Update: Adjix president Joe Moreno, in an email, said that Kawasaki mistakenly broadcast his login credentials over the service, allowing a hacker to take control of his account.

Sheriff's office shows lack of accountability
I filed a civil suit against the sheriff's office under the Colorado Open Records Act. Although the judge found in favor of the sheriff's department, I feel I came out with answers I was seeking.
I had asked for the accounting records for pretrial services, a service which takes in money from defendants for supervision. My reasons for the request were two-fold: dollar amount and accountability. I wanted to know just how much money they were receiving from clients who are for the vast majority are below the poverty level. Working as a secretary for a local bonding company I have personally witnessed the hardship of this program. Although a financial assessment application is to be used I find it hard to believe a conclusion that these people could afford this.
I unfortunately have seen too many of these defendants fail because of the financial burden the sheriff's department puts on them. These records do not exist.
In a statement made in open court, Mike Green, the attorney for the sheriff's department said, "It seems Ms. Simmons thinks the sheriff's department is run like a business instead of a government office." My bad, I would like to believe the taxpayers' money is handled like a business but clearly not. Although I did not receive the records requested I did walk out of court knowing the sheriff's department personnel have no accountability nor do they think they should.
I would also like to state that I personally feel the department is full of wonderful, hardworking and dedicated people, doing their jobs as instructed. I do not hold the department, nor Lynda Carter, responsible for having no accountability, that falls directly on the man in charge.

After working with glassblower David Hay to build up vessels with three- and four-colour glass overlays, Gordon examines the possibilities of colour and light in this layered material before planning and executing the cutting and polishing that reveals its depth. In Quartz he has cut through the layers of glass to create a fragmented, crystalline surface that further excites the eye with its articulation of iridescent gold and silver leaf on the surface of the glass. Here light, refraction and colour become the elements of structure, forcing the eye to complete a composition that, like a view through a kaleidoscope, can never be fully grasped or repeated

What do you think is behind Tobis personality ?
Do you realoly think he is the original Madara ?
What about the time when Tobi seemed to act like a goofy character, was that an act or something different ?
What is his connection to Zetsu ?
Why could it be that they seem close like an old buds ?
We have seen Tobi get badly injured on numerous occasions, why does he recover so easily ?
Is there a way how to remove Edo Summons out of Kaburos command ? Can the talismans be removed ?
Do you think its possible that an Edo Summon could join with Alliance ?
In theory, if there was a DNA sample of Rikudou Sage, would it be possible to make an Edo Tensei out of him as well ?
Does Sasuke have the same treasures for his Sussano as Itachi ?
Do you think Tobis combination of Sharingan and Rinnegan has some power limitations ? Does he have a Mangekyo ?

SCC Baseball Wins First Game of the Year
The Dolphins Baseball Team won their first game of the year, beating Blue Mountain CC 15-4 in Pendleton, OR. The SCC squad dropped the second game, 6-0 to the Timberwolves.
In the first game, SCC exploded for 15 runs on 14 hits as Gabriel Rochon led SCC with 3 hits, including a homerun and a double with 5 RBIs. Jordan Padilla had 4 hits and scored 2 runs and David Cavanaugh had a three run homerun. Christian Estabillo had three hits, scored 2 runs and had a RBI as well.
Ryan Garrett pitched 6 innings, allowing 1 earned run and getting the win for SCC. The Dolphins survived giving up 9 walks in the game.
In the second game, the SCC offense was cut in half, with only 7 hits and not being able to score a run. Anthony Ulskey was the only Dolphin with multiple hits, as he went 2 for 3 for the game.
Shoreline is now 1-10 on the season and travels to Walla Walla, WA today to face Walla Walla CC at Noon. SCC opens region play next weekend against rival Edmonds Community College.

"We're doing good on offense and not so good on defense" was the gist of how Coach Parsons summarized the game the Green River Pirates had against the Tabiona Tigers on Aug. 17, at Tabiona.
The Pirates, smarting after an 0-4 start to their 2009 season traveled to Tabiona bent on turning things around. And turn things around they did, the bats were humming at the top of the first inning with the Pirates scoring three runs but left two more on bases as the Tigers made the third out.
The elation didn't last too long as the Tigers were able to match the score and add one as the Tabby hitters were patient at the plate and our pitching staff wasn't able to zero in on the sweet spot.
This pitching trend stayed around a little too long which was good for Tabiona and bad for Green River. A bright spot happened in the top of the second inning when Holden Marshall swung at a low and inside pitch to send the ball sailing over the left field fence for his first homer of the season and the fourth over all for the team.
The game had its moments on offense with Holden's home run and Hayden Pfander hitting it deep in right center for a nice double bringing Keith Clark in for a run all the way from first base. Also, on defense with Keith Clark taking one for the team as he put his body in front of a line drive and made the throw to first base for a sweet out or with Jason Johnson's glove in center field catching deep and shallow flies and making them look routine.
The final score was 13 to 8. Not bad seeing how Tabiona toppled the 1A power house Wayne Badgers at a tournament just prior to this game but the Pirates are getting tired of close games, they're hungry for their first win and looking for it this coming Friday as they travel to Tintic to take on the Miners.

Super cute, too bad...
"I loved the way these sandals looked online. And they are pretty, but I do not love the way they feel. The straps between my toes were thick, hard leather that felt like they'd hurt after even just a little wear - just not a comfortable fit. Also, the color of the leather wasn't uniform. Otherwise, they were cute. I'll return them."

"The size and look are great. The sole is a bit hard and it make the sandal feel a bit slippery when walking."

Former U.S. senator from Massachusetts and Fox News commentator Scott Brown has joined Nixon Peabody LLP.
Brown joins the law firm's Boston office as counsel, Nixon Peabody officials said Monday.
Unseated by Democrat Elizabeth Warren in a close race last November, Brown gained national attention after winning a 2010 special election to fill the remainder of Democratic liberal icon Sen. Edward Kennedy's term after Kennedy's death from brain cancer. He was the first Republican to represent Massachusetts in the Senate since 1972.
As a senator, Brown was known as a relative moderate in an increasingly right leaning GOP.
As a Nixon Peabody attorney, he plans to focus on business and governmental affairs, concentrating largely on the financial services industry and commercial real estate.
"Scott's ability to connect people with opportunities is an excellent fit with Nixon Peabody's culture and strategic priorities," Nixon Peabody CEO and managing partner Andrew Glincher said.

– What has more value: objects or ideas?

Back to details
Mileage: 22.1
February mileage: 159.3
Hours: 2:30
Temperature: 7
Snowfall: 8"
I spent the month of January feeling more and more lost in the big picture of the Iditarod Invitational. Now that last-minute preparations have narrowed my focus back to the little details, I am actually feeling less anxiety. Give it another five days or so. The race starts two weeks from this afternoon.
Geoff and I finished packing up our food drops. Combined, we have 40 pounds of duct-tape-wrapped "food bombs" ready to ship. Among his more interesting additions are two packages of precooked bacon (until about two months ago, Geoff was for the past 10 years a vegetarian), Hammer Perpetuem and 2,700 calories of Reeses Peanut Butter Sticks. I kept my drops simple, knowing that in the survival state endurance cycling induces, monotony, simplicity and precedence are key. My food bomb consists of one pound dried fruit, one pound nuts, 8 oz. sunflower seeds, 5 oz. chocolate, 9 oz. turkey jerky, four Pop Tarts, eight Clif Bars, four Trio bars, 10 fruit leathers, 10 oz. packaged tuna and 9 oz. Wheat Thins (those last two are my checkpoint "treats.") It also has batteries, chemical warmers and fuel - for a total of about 12,000 calories, 10 pounds gear, and provisions for two-three days.
I also, after too many failed trials, am leaning away from using my Camelbak as my primary hydration source. I will still carry a backpack and a bladder - either my insulated 3-liter Camelbak bladder or noninsulated 6-liter MSR bladder. But I also bought one of those Outdoor Research insulation sleeves and plan to stuff a Nalgene bottle in one of my pogies, then refill it with my bladder. I know the inconvenience of a bottle is a likely path to perpetual dehydration, but it's still more accessible than a Camelbak with a frozen hose.
I also have a lot of little things to add to Pugsley before I break him down and ship him off to Anchorage for his final overhaul. I will need to have him boxed up and on a FedEx truck by Wednesday morning at the latest.
Beyond that, the taper has started. My training has slowed down and I haven't even noticed. I feel busier than ever. I was hoping to go for as many rides as I could before I ship Pugsley away, but the recent winds and 8-10 inches of new snow Saturday made cycling impossible everywhere today (the plowed-in road shoulders were even more unrideable than the trails.) Rather than embark on a windblown push-a-thon along the Douglas Highway, I went for a snowshoe hike in the vicinity of the Mount Jumbo trail, breaking my own path and sinking to my knees with every step. It was a trudge. I was drenched in sweat. All around me, billowing pillows of fine powder frosted the landscape with almost confectionary softness. And all I could think about was how I was going to format my schedule so I could completely load up my bike before I completely break it down. Maybe this detail focus isn't such a good thing after all.
P.S. Don't forget to drop by UltraRob's outdoor gear site for some great deals on fun new toys! Good for you ... good for me!

Awesome blog- keep up the good work :)ReplyDelete
Good list! Watch the CLIF bars though as they freeze very, very solid. Enjoy the eats!ReplyDelete
I've had a blast checking in on your training. It all seems so hard core and inspiring! Best of luck on your adventure. btw...some quick-acting, cheap fuel I use on races are those little honey packets. Whenever I'm at a coffee shop, I shove a few packets in my pocket as I head out the door. Maybe they'll taste good melting in your mouth? :)ReplyDelete
Re: Frozen Clif BarsReplyDelete
I was just scolded in an e-mail by the race director himself about these. Kinda funny. For the record, I am well aware how inedible these bars become when they're frozen. During my longer training rides - the coldest of which, full disclosure, was around 0 degrees - I would thaw bars inside my pogies until they were relatively soft. I have been sewing pockets inside my first insulation layer with a plan to store things like bars, lighters and my camera next to my body. May or may not work, but I figure, if we fully expect to be able to keep the temperature of our water above freezing, why is it so unreasonable to expect the same of our snacks?
Everything else I'm carrying is so low-moisture or crunchy. Don't I deserve a treat?

Sue Brunning, British Museum
Storytelling has long been woven into the fabric of Irish culture. The ancient tradition of the seanchaí, or storyteller, is alive and well in modern Ireland, and amongst Irish diaspora communities across the world, and fittingly one of the British Museum's most iconic Irish objects has myriad stories to tell.
The history of the bell-shrine of St. Cuileáin, also known as the Glankeen bell-shrine or 'Bearnan Cuileáin', began in the AD 600s or 700s with the manufacture of a bell. Legend links it with St. Cuileáin himself, patron saint of Glankeen in County Tipperary and reputedly the founder of its monastery. The bell was made from iron and coated in bronze. Originally, a 'clapper' suspended inside would have struck the walls to 'ring' the bell when it was shaken. Such hand-bells were probably used to call monks to prayer in early Christian Ireland.
During the late 1000s the bell was enshrined within an elaborate cast bronze case, transforming it into a relic of St. Cuileáin. Not all parts of the case survive: a bronze sheet on one side of the bell is engraved with a cross marking the place where a fine crucifix was once attached. A 'crest' enriched with designs in enamel, niello, and silver and copper wire was fitted to the top. Human and animal faces peer out from each side. Interlacing ribbon-like creatures of Scandinavian style testify to a time when Irish art and culture was influenced by interactions with Vikings.
At some point in its history the bell-shrine ended up in a tree in Kilcuilawn, Glankeen. After its recovery, it took on an active and miraculous role in the community. Records from the seventeenth century onwards describe its use in oath-swearing and as a type of lie-detector test, capable of sending liars into convulsions or strangling them if hung about their necks. But to others it was more benign, said to bestow fortune and even healing powers. Such records show that the bell-shrine was still generating stories a millennium after it was made.
This was first published in the London Evening Standard on 10 January 2013.
St Cuileáin's bell shrine is usually on display in Room 41. From 24 September 2015 it will be on display in the special exhibition Celts: art and identity in Room 30.

My column in Tuesday's The StarPhoenix
Two seemingly unrelated stories that came out recently are more connected than we realize.
Bell's Let's Talk campaign hit full speed last week. The campaign is designed to raise awareness about mental health in Canada, and Feb. 12 brought a full-court press of media to raise awareness across the country.
And in a week when we were supposed to be more open than ever about mental illness, we also had the story about employees at the Regina Qu'Appelle Regional Health Authority (RQRHA) snooping into people's confidential health records and in one case, altering information.
The reason Bell is trying to raise awareness about mental health is the stigma that's still attached to it. Despite advocates such as the late journalist Mike Wallace and TSN host Michael Landsberg talking openly about their battles with depression, mental health conditions are something that many fear and others are reluctant to get treatment for.
The Mental Health Commission of Canada talks about stigma existing even among doctors – the same health professionals to whom sufferers are referred initially when they have problems. Progress is being made on removing the stigma, but there's a long way to go. For those seeking treatment, it can be a daunting task and one that many people choose to do privately.
This is why the news out of Regina about health region staff and the privacy commissioner's report about the medical record breaches are so discouraging.
In Saskatchewan, our health records are protected by the Health Information Privacy Act. HIPA's stated goal is to improve the privacy of people's health information while ensuring that enough is accessible to provide health services.
Yet at the RQRHA, there appeared to be a culture in some departments of looking at anyone's health records.
As one staff member said during the investigation, "Everyone is doing it."
Privacy commissioner Gary Dickson's report calls out the Regina health authority but mentions other privacy breaches in health districts across the province. He refers to a "culture of entitlement" among employees of health regions who feel that they are allowed to look at anyone's files.
So back to Bell's Let's Talk campaign. It encourages Canadians to speak out about mental illness, but then we learn that if we do seek help, it could be read and shared by those who have no right to see that information.
No wonder that Diane Aldridge, director of compliance for the privacy commission, told the CBC: "It's about patient confidence, not only in the electronic health record but in the system itself."
This isn't just about mental health. It's also about the loss of the confidence we all have when we go for treatment that our treatment will remain confidential.
The HIPA violations and Dickson's report are serious enough that something needs to be done. Yet the report notes over and over that recommendations aren't being followed. Over the decade that HIPA has been in place, not a single charge has been laid over a violation of it.
What's the point of bringing in a privacy act if no one is going to enforce it or care? If we want to get serious about treatment of mental health or other illnesses that carry a stigma, then we need to get serious about protecting the records of people who need help.
It will take money to upgrade legacy computer networks and build the systems that are common among organizations that actually do protect our personal information. It will also take the political will to strongly punish those who break confidentiality agreements.
Dickson pointed out that the risk of job loss wasn't enough to deter staff from snooping in and altering personal health records.
If firing or suspension isn't working, perhaps it will take the year-long jail sentence for offenders that's allowed in HIPA provisions.
It's also going to take someone asking some really tough questions about why people who have no reason to access files are allowed to do it. Confidentiality is more than an agreement staff sign – and apparently ignore. It is protecting the information so that it can't be viewed in the first place.
If the "trustees" of the system in our health regions can't get this right, we need someone else to take leadership and ensure our personal information is safe.
Bell suggests Let's Talk, but let's also make sure that for those who want it to be, it's a private conversation.

Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns is closer to making his return from a knee injury that has so far ruled him out of the Six Nations.
Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns is closer to making his return from a knee injury that has so far ruled him out of the Six Nations.
Burns suffered the injury playing against Mont-de-Marsan, denying him the opportunity to add to his sole England cap won on debut in the win over New Zealand last November.
Having worked his way back to full fitness, Burns is eager to get back playing for Gloucester this Friday against Bath.
"It was obviously a big blow to get injured before the Six Nations," said Burns.
"I've missed most of the tournament, obviously I hope to be fit for the last two games, but I only have one game realistically to prove match fitness and form.
"As soon as I got injured, it was obviously a disappointment for the first couple of days. But you've just got to put it to one side and, not write off the Six Nations, because you want to get back and help the boys.
"But, firstly, it's about getting fit and, secondly, it's all about performing for Gloucester on Friday if I'm selected. That's my focus at the minute, helping us to get that victory on Friday night, any way I can. It's something I've tried to do all year, just focus on my game for Gloucester. That's what gets you noticed by the England coaching team.
"So, it's back to square one for me, doing what I do for Gloucester and, if it results in a call up, then that's great. In the meantime, I'll just keep working hard for the club."

Ok shoes, but not my style.
"I purchased these shoes for comfort and they are VERY comfortable. They are NOT stylish at ALL. I didn't try them on first (ordered online) so they appeared a bit more stylish online. They are going back! 3 stars only for the comfort."
