BREMEN — Thirteen proved to be Triton's unlucky number Friday. As in, the Lady Trojans ran into a buzz saw opposite 13-time sectional champion Plymouth.
PLYMOUTH — As usual it was a playoff atmosphere at Bill Nixon Field for a match-up between Plymouth and John Glenn Friday. The Pilgrims hope that it wasn't a preview of next week's sectional opener as they fell to the rival Falcons, 9-2. The Pilgrims kept pace answering a pair of unearned third inning Glenn runs with a sac fly from George Stults and an RBI single from Elijah Nixon in the fourth. The floodgates came open in the Glenn fifth with a two-run double from Justin Giorlowski and a mammoth two-run homer from David Jawerski, and that would be enough for the Falcons.
CULVER — The Culver Military Eagles scored nine runs in the second inning to put themselves ahead by seven and never looked back Friday, winning 13-3 in five innings at Wilkins Field over the North Judson Bluejays. The Bluejays got off to a good start, scoring the first two runs of the game on a couple of errors by CMA in the top of the first. They also held the Eagles scoreless in the inning and took a 2-0 lead into the second. Judson's Michael Berby got on base with a hit to lead off the second but was promptly picked off at first by CMA pitcher Colin Raver.
ARGOS — Argos striker Jami Patterson will play for an Indiana Soccer Hall of Famer at Trine University next year. Patterson, a four-year standout with the Lady Dragons, has committed to play for the NCAA Division III Thunder under head coach Terry Stefankiewicz, a 2004 Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame inductee who coached previously at St. Francis and IPFW. He played at Indiana University for coach Jerry Yeagley.
PLYMOUTH — Winning four races at any track meet is pretty special, let alone four sectional races. Michael Hartman won six Thursday.
BREMEN — A loss isn't necessarily always a bad thing. Take Marissa Ross' and Holly Stogsdill's loss to Glenn's Kyler Columbia and Allison Pudlo at last Saturday's Northern State Conference meet. The Triton duo seemed to have learned a few lessons in that defeat to their Glenn 1 doubles counterparts, and on Thursday they found the opportunity to apply them.
MISHAWAKA — Kevin Heckaman wanted to catch the runner from Penn. That's what he really wanted. But since that wasn't likely to happen, Heckaman settled for the next best thing. The Bremen sophomore, running anchor on the Lion 4 x 400 relay squad, motored around a runner from Mishawaka, then held off repeated challenges down the homestretch to finish second during Thursday's IHSAA boys track sectional at Penn. The No. 9-ranked Kingsmen, wrapping up a convincing sectional championship, won the relay in 3:21.57, just missing the meet record.
Girls tennis CGA wins 9th straight sectional The host Lady Eagles swept Rochester 5-0 to win their ninth straight tennis title at the Culver Girls Academy Sectional Thursday. CGA surrendered just eight games on all five courts in the win. Natalia Lopez-Yanez beat Maddie Lewis 6-0, 6-1 at 1 singles, Rachel Simon was a 6-1, 6-0 winner over Shelby Bankson at 2 singles, and Alena Arkhipov beat Brooke Ewing 6-0, 6-2 at 3 singles.
BREMEN — Sandwiched between the NSC Tournament championships Monday and a potential meeting with perennial sectional champion Plymouth tonight, Bremen's first round sectional match-up with LaVille would have been an easy one for the Lady Lions to overlook. After all, the Bremen Sectional hosts hadn't lost to the Lancers in recent memory; they'd swept them just three weeks ago in round robin NSC play en route to the conference championship. But looking too far ahead is nearly always a mistake, especially against a team that has been making steady progress throughout the year.
MIDDLEBURY – A big dose of Northridge starter Shannon Baker went a long way, but the fight of Plymouth's Pilgrims nearly made up for it as the Raiders hung on to take an NLC win by a 6-3 final.

SOME will call it a hangover. Some will say, "heavy is the crown." Some will say, "it is a long season." Others will say, "seriously, fuck those guys." Wait, why would anyone say that? This is a franchise that went almost 30 years without a title. Didn't we all celebrate their triumphant return to the winners' circle? Well, yes, some of us did. Others of us lined up four shots of whiskey like ducks in preparation for listening to Boston sports fans declare themselves the "Greatest Sports City in History!" It took no less than two hours for that headline to appear, but by the time it did, this lucky sports writer was already several sheets to the wind, possibly urinating in a flower pot somewhere, while a continent away, Vancouver burnt to the ground.
So, why would any reasonable sports fan be happy for the absolute travesty that is affecting Boston right now? Why would anyone cheer the decline of a seemingly likable sports franchise like the Bruins? Well, you must understand two things: 1. I am by no means a reasonable sports fan. 2. Boston has become everything they hated a little over a decade ago. They have gone from the lovable underdogs to the insufferable, entitled brats.

A reliable solar power system is one that will meet performance expectations for 25 years or more, hassle free. Not all solar is created equal, and some PV panels will stand up better than others against difficult weather conditions such as high humidity, drastic temperature changes, snow and wind. SunPower's Research and Development team works hard to ensure that SunPower solar panels are the most reliable in the market, delivering guaranteed performance.
With the end of the year upon us, we are kicking off a solar panel reliability blog series with a discussion about harsh winter weather conditions and solar energy systems.
Winter can bring howling winds, driving downpours and battering giant hail on your panels. In many regions, blankets of snow cover everything – including your solar panels. Like the third Little Pig in the children's story, you shouldn't have to worry about threatening conditions outside your door (or on your roof) if you've selected a high quality, built-to-last solar power system. The most reliable systems will continue to generate clean, renewable solar power regardless of weather conditions.
SunPower panels use quality materials and are designed for life in the real world. They are tested above and beyond industry standards to stand up to all manner of environmental stresses. Lower quality panels may easily crack or become damaged when the weather turns nasty, reducing power output. But, in side-by-side comparisons with competitors' panels, SunPower high-efficiency solar panels continue to reliably perform despite degradation stresses.
Our rigorous panel tests include simulating conditions that are far more brutal than panels would normally endure on your rooftop. In one test, we repeatedly apply 880 pounds of weight to the panels, the equivalent of 90 mph (145 kph) hurricane-force winds, to guarantee long-term performance, no matter where you live.
We've heard from several customers over the years, testifying to the reliability of their SunPower solar panels. Here are some samples:
"2011 was our second winter with our SunPower solar PV installation. And, it was a tough winter... lots of snow that came and stayed. But I was never concerned about the snow loads on the panels. Our installer, Ross Solar Group, designed a solid rectangular array of panels that took into consideration both weather conditions and aesthetic appeal, and minimized any possible problems with snow accumulation. As a result, the heavy snow did not damage our SunPower solar panels at all; I am very satisfied with the way they stood up. Our system looks good, I expect it to last a long time, and I love selling electricity back to Northeast Utilities!"
Tom Brown
Danbury, CT
"When the sun comes up, the panels quickly shed the snow. Throughout the morning the snow melts and falls off of each panel; by lunchtime they're producing at full capacity. We've never had any damage from the snow. In fact, the panels help protect our roof from damage, keeping it cool in the summer and dry in the winter."
Matthew Grocoff, Esq.
Detroit, MI
Want to go solar, but worried about weather? Watch this video and see how we ensure SunPower panels are the most reliable in all conditions:

ELKHART — Culver Community earned its first sectional title in 26 years by battling from behind. On Saturday, the Cavaliers simply dug themselves too big a hole to climb out of. Eastside plated six runs batting through the order during a big third inning, and although Culver scored three runs in the fifth and sixth, it was too little, too late as the Cavs suffered a season-ending 7-3 loss at the Class 2A Jimtown Baseball Regional in Elkhart. Eastside went on to fall in 10-2 in the championship to Hanover Central at the tourney, while Culver closed out a banner year at 13-14.
PLYMOUTH — They say hitting is contagious, but once the Rochester bats caught fire Monday, it was downright virulent. Rochester cranked out nine hits for eight runs in the fifth and sixth innings, tying up the Pilgrims at 6-all on a Chad Miller grand slam during a five-run fifth, then taking the lead for the first and last time with a three-run sixth as they ousted host Plymouth 9-8 in a Class 3A Sectional 19 semifinal at Bill Nixon Field. The Zebras ultimately dropped the final 8-0 against Marian, which advanced through John Glenn in the other semifinal Monday morning.
PLYMOUTH — Mishawaka Marian opened and closed the door on John Glenn all in one inning. The Knights got off to a bumpy start as two errors and a base hit loaded the bags with no outs in the top of the first, but Marian ace Taylor Krugh came right back at Glenn batters for three straight strikeouts to wiggle off the hook, and the Falcons barely threatened again in a 4-0 Marian win at the Class 3A Plymouth Baseball Sectional at Bill Nixon Field Monday.
BOURBON — There's a saying in baseball and softball that the third out is often the hardest to get. Three nights after battling with nine two-out runs to upset No. 5 Westville in their Class A Softball Sectional 51 opener Tuesday, the Lady Trojans experienced the flip side of that fact.
PLYMOUTH — Just when things seemed their darkest, Plymouth found a way to pull out the win.
PLYMOUTH — The hits have been coming for Culver Military all season. But the Eagles struggled at the plate when it mattered most Thursday, recording just five hits for one run as they fell to Rochester ace Aaron Stuart 4-1 in Class 3A Plymouth Baseball Sectional action at Bill Nixon Field. The Zebras move on to play Plymouth in a sectional semifinal Monday following another semi between John Glenn and Mishawaka Marian, scheduled for 11 a.m. The championship is slated for 8 p.m. Monday night.
ARGOS — Latisha Shepherd, a 5-foot-4 guard from Argos High School, has committed to continue her basketball and academic careers for the 2011-2012 season at Bethel College in Mishawaka. "I chose Bethel because it is where I felt the most at home," said Shepherd. "It allows me to enjoy the two things I love: playing basketball and being in a Christian atmosphere."
BOURBON — After Westville ace Ashley Henrich shut out Triton in last year's sectional championship game, the Trojans knew what they were up against. On Tuesday, they were ready. Triton batters took an aggressive approach at the plate and on the bags, and the Trojans surprised Henrich and the Blackhawks with 15 hits, earning a 9-6 upset of No. 5 Westville in a Sectional 51 semifinal at home. The win was a reprisal for last year's final, when the Blackhawks handed their hosts a 7-0 win for the school's first-ever championship.
BOURBON — Argos fell behind early and never recovered in a 12-2 Triton Sectional loss to South Central Tuesday.

Chef Laura's Guacamole
As a snack this Shabbat, I am serving guacamole in honor of Cinco De Mayo. I love this creamy, healthy condiment and look for any excuse to shmear it on challah, tortillas, and my favorite enchiladas.
The secret to good guacamole is simple: the ingredients should be ripe and really fresh, and each bite or scoopful should burst with flavor. This means no powdered garlic allowed and lots of tasting, to make sure the flavors are well balanced.
Contrary to popular food myth, leaving the pit in the bowl of guacamole will not prevent the avocados from oxidizing and turning black. To ensure that your guacamole stays green, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap or parchment paper and lightly press the wrap directly on the surface. Then go ahead and throw out the pit, or plant it.
Makes 2 cups
3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted¼ cup fresh lime juice2 tablespoons best-quality extra-virgin olive oil2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane2 medium tomatillos, diced6 cherry tomatoes, quartered¼ cup diced red onion, diced finely½ jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced very small¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro2 radishes, diced very small (optional)Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Suggested accompaniments: crispy tortilla chips, jicama strips, cucumber slices, radishes, carrot strips
1. Place the avocados into a large bowl. Add the lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil and garlic.
2. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or fork until it is mostly mashed but some chunks remain. Add the tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and radishes, if using. Stir them in to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with your choice of accompaniments.
Quick Ancho Chile Sauce for Enchiladas
I make a lot of moles and enjoy the long process and especially the final results. But, when I need a quick sauce for enchiladas, I go for an abbreviated version. This sauce is quick and delicious.
Normally a sauce like this would be made in a molcajete (Mexican mortar and pestle) and the cook would spend hours grinding the ingredients to a velvety constituency, I am going with a blender this week!
10 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded (reserve the seeds)1 cup oil3 tablespoons of chile seeds, toasted in a dry pan until medium brown8 cloves of garlic½ cup raisins½ cup pumpkin seeds, toastedReserved soaking water from chiles2 ounces bittersweet chocolateKosher salt and freshly cracked pepper1 package corn tortillas
Suggested filling for tortillas: favorite cheeses, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and peppers, or pulled chicken or brisket for meat preparations
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Fry the chiles, in batches, for about 10-15 seconds until they are dark red and puffy. Transfer the chiles to a large bowl filled with cold water. Soak the chiles for about 15 minutes. Transfer the chiles and about 1 cup of soaking water to a blender. Add the remaining ingredients except the chocolate and process the sauce until it is finely ground and has a thick-saucy consistency (you may need to add more water).
2. Heat a large saucepan, lightly coated with olive oil, over medium high heat and add the sauce at once. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes. Add the chocolate and season to taste.
3. Dip a tortilla into the sauce, lay the tortilla on a board and add about 2 tablespoons of filling, roll the tortillas and nestle into a casserole. Top with additional sauce. Bake for 15 minutes before serving.
Light and Crispy Churros
My son Jonah loves these light and crispy Mexican crullers. They are delicious and addictive. I serve them for desserts and an occasional breakfast. The dough is easy and can be made a couple of hours ahead of using.
Of course the churros are best right out of the frying pan, but they are delicious and I have never had anyone turn them down several hours after frying.
I serve the churros with chocolate dipping sauce or fruit preserves.
Yields 24
1 cup water2 Tablespoons brown sugar½ teaspoon salt⅓ cup butter or canola oil for pareve1 cup all-purpose flour2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract¼ cup sugar1 teaspoon ground cinnamonOil to fry the churros in-I use canola oil
1. Bring the water, brown sugar, salt, and butter (or oil) to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the flour. Stir the mixture until it forms a tight ball of dough.
2. Place the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix it until well blended.
3. Add the eggs one at a time with the machine running, being sure to incorporate each addition before adding the next. Add the vanilla.
4. Fill your pastry bag with the churro recipe dough and attach the largest star tip you have.
5. Heat 1½ to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a 10 to 12 inch frying pan to 375 degrees F. In a separate dish mix the ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
6. Test your oil by placing a small amount of dough in it. The dough should bubble up right away and start to brown.
7. Once the oil is hot enough, squeeze some dough into the oil about 4 inches long. I used my finger to release the dough from the star tip. Careful not to burn yourself.
8. Cook 4 or 5 churros at a time. Cook them about 1 minute and turn them over with a slotted spoon. Cook an additional minute or two until they are a golden brown color.
9. Remove the churros with the slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-covered plate to absorb excess grease. While still warm, roll each churro into the dish with the sugar and cinnamon until coated.

Paige Kumm, San Francisco Housing Rights Counselor/Organizer
415.487.9203, ext. 205,
As a queer, biracial black-and-white Army brat with no hometown, Paige often found herself straddling cultural divides while growing up, becoming personally aware of widespread practices of exclusion, violence, and injustice. While studying at Stanford, she found an inspiring avenue to address those issues through the labor and immigrant rights student activist community, helping to organize a successful living wage campaign for Stanford's workers and eventually co-founding the Stanford Immigrant Rights Project. Her passion for worker and immigrant rights led to a union organizing stint with UNITE-HERE Local 631 in Phoenix, and now, in her new role as a tenant rights counselor in San Francisco, Paige feels prepared and empowered to be a leader in the struggle for black-brown unity and economic equality. In her free time, Paige enjoys attending concerts and professing her undying love for the Mission District.

Published September 1, 1998.
By adding a piece of cheese rind or pancetta to water, we created an excellent minestrone without the bother of homemade stock.
Minestrone (literally, "big soup" in Italian) is generally not an easy undertaking, given that most recipes ask you to make your own stock and to chop at least 10 kinds of vegetables.
A soup with a harmonious balance of flavors that can be made without spending hours making stock or standing at the chopping block.
Eliminate both bold and bland vegetables, add a rind of Parmesan or some pancetta to the pot to compensate for the lack of stock, and liven it all up with a dollop of pesto.

Testimonies: Ribs |
"I have had a five-month long suffering of "muscle collapse". I subsequently spent much of my time suffocating as my bronchial muscles had powerful spasms. This also diminished the oxygen flow to the brain which left things rather blurred. I also battled with aggression during this time. After receiving prayer God has healed me completely. I can now do my work properly; I am sparkly and super alive. Praise God!" - Gillian M. on May 31st, 2012 | |
"I came into the Healing Rooms with undiagnosed pain in my side. The doctors couldn't figure out why I was in pain. Pain in right side has been healed." - John M. on April 7th, 2012 | |
"I believe your prayers are already working healing in me. Today I have much less pain in my ribs than I've had for the last month. PTL!!! " - Sarah Y. on October 10th, 2009 | |
"... Then, shortly after I began email contact with you, the pain suddenly got much better. That pain ( on the right side) has continued to get less and less. It's almost negligible now. However, a few days ago I developed some rib pain on the left side. It is not as bad as the original rib pain, but it is definitely noticeable." - Sarah Y. on October 14th, 2009 | |
"> Laura, Thank you so much for yesterday's prayer session. I think it was quite significant. I continued to lie in bed for about 45 minutes after we hung up. I felt very peaceful and somehow fuller than usual (less depleted). I seem to be able to stand and walk for longer periods now, without feeling faint. That is a sign of being stronger than before. PTL! I very much believe there is an ongoing work in me, and I'm thrilled that the Holy Spirit affirmed that to you repeatedly. Today (esp. this afternoon) I've had much more energy than usual. This I know is a result of healing prayers. Praise be to God!" on October 16th, 2009 Entered online Dec 29th, 2009 Cross-Light Healing Room | |

4. | St. Joe's Prep | ||
A very prestigious high school in Philadelphia. The very best are picked out of many and chosen to attend this school. Others who do not make the cut are jealous, and decide to make fun of them. The truth is, they are better than all of you. LaSalle, Malvern, Devon, and Roman... you can all just go suck a giant dick.
1. | St. Joe's Prep | ||
1.The only school where you can literally go anywhere in the world, shout the words "Yeah Prep!" and someone will turn around and return the favor.
2.The only prep school that doesn't have to argue that it is the "real" prep by posting online or making shirts(Malvern), because, quite simply, if you say "The Prep," no one thinks of Malvern, Devon, etc., etc. -Did you go to the Prep?
-No, Lasalle. -(Receives swift kick to the crotch and prompt beating) |
2. | st. joe's prep | ||
st. joe's prep
A private all boys school located in a getto in North Philadelphia. It is known by everyone as THE PREP. Its the only high school in the world where the older and uglier your clothes are the cooler you are. We win erything from football to forensics to bolling and basketball to mock trial. Theres nothing we dont excell in. Every Prep guy bleeds Prep pride and is always cheering the loudest at the end of any dance, prom or mixer. Only school that has mixers with a 3-1 girl to guy ratio. You can always heer our loud obnoxious cheers at any PREP event, and every spectator is always wearing his PREP gear. ITS THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH. LaSalle wants to be just like it but knows it can never live up to THE PREP's glory. THE PREP, St. Joseph's Preparatory School - theirs nothing else like it!
3. | St. Joe's Prep | ||
The owners of the factories and businesses where all the other guys from other high schools like Lasalle, Roman, Bonner, and most notably Ohara will be working for the rest of their God forsaken lives. Ohara kid "Dude i cant belive i work for a Prep kid"
Prep kid "If you dont shut your mouth, you are going back on welfare" Ohara kid "Im your bitch" |
5. | St. Joe's Prep | ||
School in philadelphia. As a rule every single prep guy must at all times be wearing a article of clothing that says prep on it. Prep kids must also announce there presence somewhere by repeating the word "prep" over and over again. They are very insecure and they feel the need to tell everyone that prep is the best thing since sliced bread. Once you go to the prep you are no longer an individual you a part of "the prep" A prep kid can usually be spotted by the PREP sweatshirt. Other signs are the inability to go the bathroom alone
6. | St. Joe's Prep | ||
The school where all the cool guys go. It is so much better than any other school. St. Joe's Prep is a lot better than that faggot ass school lasalle
7. | St. Joe's Prep | ||
Where all the hott guys go. "My boyfriend goes to the prep."
"Lucky bitch." |

The 2013 Spring-Shell-Shirt-Jacket combo, AKA: The Ride women's Shacket! Featuring a comfortable shirt fit and top end Ride Outerwear Fabrics, this versatile number comes complete with mesh lining, snap front, and waterproof coating with DWR. This jacket, shirt or whatever you wanna call it does it all from spring riding protection to casual street style.
Tailored Fit Jacket
Designed to fit like a street jacket, this fit it is slimmed down with minimal room for layering.
DWR (Durable Water Repellency)
DWR (Durable Water Repellency) fabric protection is an invisible water-repellent finish applied to the outer shell of every garment. Rather than soaking into the fibers, water beads up on the surface area and rolls off. Without DWR, your jacket and pant would feel like a wet dishrag no matter how expensive it was. DWR is used on all Ride outerwear.

All Marketers Are Liars. Really.
"All marketers tell stories. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, even if it is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better—and look cooler—than $20 no names… and believing it makes it true." — Seth Godin
However, to the most skeptical audiences (my lady), all marketers areliars. I won't take it personally that she's indirectly called me a liar. (LOL) But she is absolutely right in most cases simply because the story isn't strong enough to convince us otherwise. In a recent experience with IKEA, their Midnight Madness Sale wasn't worth the matter it was printed on. More to follow…
"I wasn't being completely truthful with you when I named this book. Marketers aren't liars. They are just storytellers… I was trying to go to the edges. No one would hate a book called All Marketers Are Storytellers. No one would disagree with it. No one would challenge me on it. No one would talk about it." — Seth Godin
My lady (I love you Jacqueline) is one heck of a smart lady. An accountant by trade, she has become a master budget-er for specific reasons. As a result, she is on top of GREAT DEALS when she sees them. No, she's not a COUPON hunter but she IS a DEAL hunter. Who wouldn't be? Let me line up our story.
IKEA did a great job promoting the midnight madness event through traditional channels (retail and local flyers) in the Burlington region to promote this maddening sale. While the lady and I were not made aware of this one-time annual event through new media channels (online, mobile), we had an opportunity to venture out and shop for some deals on June 27.
Jacqueline: "Do you want to go see if there are any deals?"
Alex: "Do you want to go? I am skeptical because they mention "select items" and we have no idea what that could mean. For all we know, it's a discount of a fork or spoon set versus some furniture or bed set that we really want."
(She: dressed and ready to sleep. Me: About to get ready to sleep)
Alex: "Let's do it! It's one time a year. Let's get our lazy asses in gear and go. Who knows what we'll find!?! Maybe IKEA will surprise!"
Jacqueline (shocked look on her face): "You REALLY want to go SHOP?"
Alex: "Sure, why not!"
- We (Jacqueline/I) Don't Believe IKEA's Midnight Madness Event
It's normal for consumers to be skeptical. Most marketing affairs are "too good to be true" and littered with "fine print too sneaky to print in large text"! After all, you're asking busy people with careers to haul their asses off to some late midnight affair (something we normally never do!) for some deals — on a whim — tired and all, in the hopes of finding some great, great deals. To get people out for a midnight event, the deals really have to be amazing. As you'll note above, we already had predetermined expectations what this "madness" event would turn into. A complete dud.
Here's my (web) foursquare check-in with predetermined expectations about the IKEA "Midnight Madness Sale" Event. Not good.
The Results of Our Midnight Madness Milk Run:
- A random walk around deal-less lane
- Deals really were few and far between (maybe we weren't the target audience?)
- We had no idea what "select items" would be part of the midnight madness sale (Why not just tell us and make it worthwhile for the people that really want the items under the "Madness Sale" umbrella)
- Most people walked around with very little in their shopping cart (empty hands translate into disgruntled social media voices and friends/family voice boxes)
- Ladies looked at small knick knack items instead of big ticket items (Really? You got people to come out — at midnight — to get them to buy things they could normally buy on any other day since they weren't sale items)
- We saw very few big ticket items on sale — really (we looked hard)
- Yawning, tired people walked around struggling to "find the deal"!
- Staff looking tired and unhappy to be there until midnight
- Upon departure, purchase exit bays were "very thin" with very few people really buying anything that would equate to a "madness event" with crowds en masse
My FLICKr/Twitter/Facebook Status Update:
To balance out my criticisms, I searched for similar commentary about the IKEA event and found a bunch of consumers sharing the same degree of skepticism and disappointment (not sure why the dates for the message threads were different but perhaps IKEA was rotating midnight madness between locations).
Below, some comments from the Red Flag Deals forum:
kwanjaJun 20th, 2012, 11:44 AMWould be nice if they gave us a list of said "select items" in advance.Jun 21st, 2012, 12:43 AMDoes anyone think office furniture (the Hemnes Secretary Desk in particular) will see a sale soon? I've been holding off buying hoping for a sale.djemzineJun 21st, 2012, 08:27 AMNothing that good in both North York and Vaughan. Definitely can get my night's sleep heh.smpJun 21st, 2012, 08:34 AMIs it just the stuff in the flyers or is there lots more stuff on sale?NeovingianJun 21st, 2012, 10:34 AMwhat a lackluster sale,the GTA gets shafted on this sale, the Adal TV bench isn't a bad price @ $39, too bad its not that price anywhere in the GTAangekfireJun 21st, 2012, 10:48 AMThe Ottawa deals look pretty cold as usual.chienpourriJun 21st, 2012, 09:50 PMNothing much interesting sadly… I was look at kitchen tables & chairs but nothing in that area on sale.dtrader69Jun 22nd, 2012, 06:50 PMso what's everyone getting and when is everyone showing up?
in past experience, how is the stock level? and do people line up?GotoffJun 22nd, 2012, 10:54 PMworst sale ever.
wasted 3 hours of my family's time.
oh yeah, it wasn't busy at all at the ny locationhola2005Jun 25th, 2012, 09:34 PMI went to local Ikea and there was a 50% discount on all large potted plants. Ended up getting a $20 off a $40 dollar plant.
- Your sale must be rock-bottom and hit all customers. What does this mean? For a brief moment in time, IKEA is going to make LESS money (YES, LESS MONEY, NO, NOT A LOSS) for SIX short hours oneverything in the store. You're going to move away from "select items" and shoot for "most items" or "all items" to knock the socks of all expectations and predetermined viewpoints about IKEA and sales. This includes keeping the same sale across ALL stores. Not select locations! Remember, it is a midnight madness sale. Make it chaotic!
- Your mobile strategy should not only be used to "re-create" the brochure experience (fancy effort to digitize a magazine) but must tap into the full service experience: database queries for in-stock items, on-sale items, items on sale for midnight madness (based on location), delivery scheduling, in-app purchasing, how-to installation videos, consumers reviews and so on.
- Stronger use of a video marketing platform to promote the midnight madness sale (ask people what they expect to see on sale and surprise them!), new products for sale during this short period, and so on. Past experience at a midnight madness sale. Make people "feel" the sale with interactive videos that are real, natural and human!
- I got the impression from the Red Flags forum threads that information was confusing and spare and that deal-hunters were relying more on themselves to get clear information than IKEA itself. Surely, this is a lesson that IKEA needs to provide a better lead up in launch marketing to this event, package offers better, deploy communication channels more effectively, and deliver a better, richer experience interactively for online and mobile users.
The typical failed marketing program is one that creates hype, buzz and unrealistic expectations only to be followed by stipulations, restrictions and fine-print. That stuff has to end. People want deals in a tough economy. Yes, IKEA needs to make money. Agreed. However, if you want to associate yourself to being a deal-crazy retail brand once a year with a "MIDNIGHT MADNESS SALE", you have to MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU. If you under-deliver, the damage is done this year and every year thereafter TIMES 20 or TIMES 1000 depending on how deep one's social media network is. Imagine if it was the other way around. People are stunned and dumbfounded to find some amazing deals, they talk about it to friends, family and their social media networks…then what happens? TRAFFIC.
Let people do the marketing for you. Be good to be great!
In this day and age, there is no excuse for this. You dig your own grave if you promote on high expectations and deliver well below a predetermined set of expectations. Frankly, IKEA's 2012 Midnight Madness Sale was NOT "Swedish for Common Sense."
When Jacqueline and I walked backed to our car, another couple that just parked asked, "Found nothing?" It was 11:30pm and we'd spent 30 minutes to get to the destination and spent 45 minutes trying to find some good deals. We replied, "Not really. Was a complete dud from our perspective. Take a look at the purchase exit bays there. Not many cars or mad panic there to take merchandise out, eh?" I then added, "Good luck. Maybe you'll find something that works for you."

TRAILER: Tagging, recognition and acknowledgment of informal learning experiences
This paper appears in the post-proceedings of The International Symposium on Computers in Education (SIIE 2012) in IEEE Xplore.
The evolution of new technology and its increasing use, have for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts.
However, the nature of formal and non-formal, course-based, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily, and although technology bring us near to the solution, it has not yet achieved.
TRAILER project aims to address this problem by developing a tool for the management of competences and skills acquired through informal learning experiences, both from the perspective of the user and the institution or company. This paper describes the research and development main lines of this project.

Vibes in AVO Open Networks — Descriptions of the AVO project operation during 2008-2011
Vibes in AVO Open Networks — Descriptions of the AVO project operation during 2008-2011 contains eight stories, each shedding light on the project's practical implementation from a different angle. The report is intended for experts and anyone interested alike. The themes include open learning, open working cultures, social media and content production. In addition,the report touches upon virtual worlds and mobile learning devices for educational purposesas well as the use of free and open software in education and organisations.
The AVO – Open Networks for Learning project was implemented in 2008-2012 under the ESF Operational Programme in mainland Finland, axis 3: Active Citizen of the Open Learning Environment. The project was funded by the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment in Lapland and coordinated by the Association of Finnish eLearning Centre. There were 11 member organisations.
EU project - Simple Web2.0 platform for educators
The Web2.0ERC platform is now open for exclusive use by educators
Web2.0ERC is an European Union education project to help educators who find ICT and Web2.0 confusing and difficult to access.
The project has built a simple web site and a set of the most popular tools (Wikis, Blogs, communications, Social Networking etc.) with clear guides on:
- How to use the tools
- How they can be used in education
The project is providing a simple and secure environment to use ICT for educators in their work and in their classes. The project is also looking at other Web 2.0 tools that can be used to create content, share the content and communicate.
The Web2.0ERC platform has been piloted with educators at every level and is now open for exclusive use by educators. On the platform you will find guides, videos and examples of how the platform can be used autonomously. You can register on the platform at: http://platform.web20erc.eu/login/index.php
To ensure only genuine educators use the platform to make courses a verification process will take place:
- Register on the platform (create account).
- 'Apply for teacher privileges' from the Help menu (complete the brief form)
- You will receive an email when approved
- You will see the, 'Create a course wizard' in the Courses menu.
It is highly recommended that you read the Help for teachers in the Help menu as there will be no additional support.
In addition, a large number of resources on the use of Web2.0 tools in education have been gathered and are available on the website. These include video tutorials, academic papers, best practices, case studies and use case scenarios, and user contributed ideas (see http://www.web20erc.eu/deliverables )
Learning 2.0 for an Inclusive Knowledge Society – Understanding the Picture
Links-up is research project about how 'Web 2.0' technologies – e.g. social networking software – are changing the face of education and training for disadvantaged people.
The project puts together a picture of the 'landscape' of 'Learning 2.0 for Inclusion' by reviewing what has been done in the academic and research field, and reviews what has been done by practitioners working on the ground in projects that have been using Web 2.0 to work with disadvantaged groups.
It uses a series of 'action research' experiments, collaborating with 'host' projects working in the field, to evaluate the added contribution Web 2.0 can make to practices that use learning to support social inclusion.
First Phase
The project activities are based on an 'action learning' approach. Links-up builds on the results of what has been done so far, through a review of the academic and research literature, and a 'mapping' of programmes and projects involved in 'Learning 2.0 for Inclusion'. Read the Literature Review on the topic in our e-library.
Second Phase
We carried out 20 case studies of examples of 'Learning 2.0 for Inclusion' initiatives; highlighting success factors and barriers. The learning from these initial research activities will feed into this web-based platform. This resulted in an online 'Innovation Laboratory' a range of resources for further research and action research. You can download this publication here or browse among the Cases online.
Third Phase
These resources are now being used in five 'action research experiments' with 'live' initiatives currently providing support to disadvantaged groups. A set of supporting evaluation and dissemination activities will enable external stakeholders and public to join in the work of the project, by sharing their own experiences; commenting on the work of Links-up and taking part in online discussions:
Contributing on the Links-up website: by registering on the website, you can comment the cases and can add your observations which will then feed into the overall reflections. You may also join us in the discussion via
Facebook; Slideshare; on Youtube; local podcasts;
Research - Action research
Links-Up has recently entered into the core phase of its action-research approach, by implementing on-the-field experiments, aiming analysing the three general Links-Up research questions through five "innovation laboratories":
- Is learning 2.0 really supporting inclusive life-long learning?
- Can isolated experiments be mainstreamed?
- Is learning 2.0 fundamentally changing the educational landscape?
The laboratories have already started and will end in October-November 2011, though a follow-up will be carried out until the end of the whole project, according to the action-research approach adopted by Links-up.
Action-research focuses on gathering and analysing data to assess the nature and scope of changes brought about by an innovative intervention. The innovative intervention in our case is the use of Web 2.0 to supplement existing learning practices.
We want to deepen our understandings of how social Web is being used to support new forms of learning and new ways of supporting inclusion in real-life situations that reflect particular configurations of technological choices and attributes; learning scenarios, pedagogic models and tools; institutional arrangements; target users and objectives; outcomes.
The evaluation design adopts a multi-methodological approach combining qualitative and quantitative aspects through interviews, questionnaires, observation etc.., in order to examine 'success' and 'failure' factors and impact on individuals, organisations and communities.
Supporting the online dissemination effort, we also aim to carry out a series of 'Learning Dialogues' in which project partners will join with 'action research' partners and other groups and individuals working in this field to review and share what is being done and what is being learned: the next Learning Dialogue takes place during the 2011 EDEN Annual Conference in Dublin during the open Links-up Workshop.

The show follows numerous forensic investigations (referred to as "cases" in the beginning of each episode) led by William J. Birnes and his team of experts: researcher and scuba diver Pat Uskert, mechanical engineer and MIT researcher Ted Acworth, and investigative biologist Jeff Tomlinson. In the second season, Tomlinson departed. In the third season, Acworth was replaced by mechanical engineer Kevin Cook. -- In each episode, the team investigates reports of unidentified aerial phenomena in which they interview witnesses of close encounters with UFOs, USOs, and supposed extraterrestrial life. They also analyze any evidence collected such as photographs, video, or recovered physical material. They also conduct research with other investigators and scientists in the field in an attempt to find conclusive evidence that a report is real or a hoax. The show also investigates long-standing UFO cases such as the Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash incident and other famous sightings throughout history. This season of episodes never aired on television due to federal government "requests" to cancel the series.
