Running log of changes and additions
I attempt to summarize here what work I have done on ASW starting with the online version of 6.0. This log will not include error corrections and the like and I cannot promise that there will not be errors of omission or commission inasmuch as this log is not being constructed automatically and focuses on publications rather than on particular changes and fixes.

16 September 2014: Added comments relevant to Lambertz, Hartmann, Walsh, Geissler, and McLeod, 2014, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 172: 117–132, who compared the head ornamentation of Limnonectes abanus, Limnonectes gyldenstolpei, Limnonectes macrognathus, and Limnonectes plicatellus and who suggested that the name Elachoglossa be restricted to this clade.
16 September 2014: Added comments to Zhou, Qiu, Fang, Yang, Zhao, Fang, Zheng, and Liu, 2014, Zool.

7 August 2014: New species Crossodactylus werneri and Crossodactylus timbuhy are added (both from Brazil), Crossodactylus boulengeri removed from the synonymy of Crossodactylus dispar which is redelimited and its range restricted to Brazil (the previous record for Argentina being tentatively assigned to Crossodactylus schmidti), all from a revision of the Crossodactylus dispar complex (Hylodidae) by Pimenta, Cruz, and Caramaschi, 2014, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 45: 1–30, who also note considerable declines in the species over the last 40 years.
5 August 2014: Comment added relating to the discovery by Ohler and Dubois, 2014, Zootaxa, 3838: 590–594, that Dicroglossidae Anderson, 1871, is not an available name but a subsequent misspelling of Discoglossidae. The authors suggest employing the name in use until they can petition the ICZN for a ruling to save it. Sigh.
5 August 2014: Added Adelophryne glandulatus (Eleutherodactylidae) named from Brazil by Lourenço-de-Moraes, Ferreira, Fouquet, and Bastos, 2014, Zootaxa, 3846: 351.

25 July 2014: Added Scinax madeirae, removed from the synonymy of Scinax fuscomarginatus, and placed into the same synonymy Scinax parkeri, Scinax trilineatus, Scinax lutzorum, and Scinax pusillus, all the result of a detailed review of Scinax fuscomarginatus by Brusquetti, Jansen, Barrio-Amorós, Segalla, and Haddad, 2014, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 171: 783–821.
25 July 2014: Added citation to Sáez, Fibla, Correa-Quezada, Sallaberry-Ayerza, Salinas, Veloso, Mella, Iturra-Constant, and Méndez, 2014, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 171: 769–782, who reported on the molecular phylogenetics and biogeography of Telmatobius (Telmatobiidae) in Chile and adjacent Bolivia.
21 July 2014: Added citation to McCranie and Valdés-Orellana, 2014, Herpetol. Notes, 7: 41–49, who reported an apparently introduced population of Eleutherodactylus planirostris (Eleutherodactylidae) from Isla Guanaja, Honduras.

21 July 2014: Added citation to Pinheiro, Taucce, Leite, and Garcia, 2014, Zootaxa, 3815: 147–150, who reported on the advertisement call of Bokermannohyla martinsi (Hylidae).
21 July 2014: Added Megophrys lini and Megophrys cheni from China, both named by, respectively, Wang and Yang, and Wang and Liu in Wang, Zhao, Yang, Zhou, Chen, and Liu, 2014, PLoS One, 9(4)(e93075) : 1–15, in the genus Xenophrys although this taxon had been placed in the synonymy of Megophrys by Mahony, Teeling, and Biju, 2013, Zootaxa, 3722: 144. Aside from the minor nomenclatural issue (which likely will be resolved in the authors' favor once the problematic and unwieldy Megophrys is divided into monophyletic taxa), this paper is a model of good species-level taxonomy.
21 July 2014: Added Leptolalax laui (Megophryidae), named by Sung, Yang, and Wang, 2014, Asian Herpetol. Res., 5: 80–90. This taxon from Hong Kong and the adjacent mainland in Guangdong, China, was previous confused with Leptolalax liui.
20 July 2014: Added five new species of Microhyla (Microhyla pineticola, Microhyla pulchella, Microhyla minuta, Microhyla darevskii, and Microhyla arboricola) all from from Vietnam and named by Poyarkov, Vassilieva, Orlov, Galoyan, Tran, Le, Kretova, and Geissler, 2014, Russ. J. Herpetol., 21: 89–148. The authors also provided a key to the species of Microhyla in Vietnam, provided extensive taxonomic comments and doubted the distinctiveness of Microhyla fowleri from Microhyla berdmorei but did not make the synonymy.
20 July 2014: Added Paramesotriton quixilingensis, named by Yuan, Zhao, Jiang, Hou, He, Murphy, and Che, 2014, Asian Herpetol. Res., 5: 67–79, who also provided a molecular tree of relationships.

19 July 2014: Added citations to first records of Babina chapaensis (Ranidae), Kurixalus bisacculus (Rhacophoridae), Rhacophorus feae (Rhacophoridae), Rhacophorus kio (Rhacophoridae), Theloderma asperum (Rhacophoridae), and Tylototriton asperrimus (Salamandridae) from Thuong Tien Nature Reserve, Hoa Binh Province, in northern Vietnam, reported by Luu, Le, Do, Hoang, Nguyen, Bonkowski, and Ziegler, 2014, Herpetol. Notes, 7: 51–58.

19 July 2014: Added citations to Kozak, Weisrock, and Larson, 2006, Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. B, Biol. Sci., 273: 539–546, a study on the phylogenetics of eastern Plethodon, which documented a rapid accumulation of distinct lineages. Don't know how I failed to include this important piece of literature 8 years ago.
19 July 2014: Added to the Hyperolius laurenti (Hyperoliidae) record citation to the work by Kouamé, Adepo-Gourène, Konan, Emmrich, Penner, and Rödel, 2014, Herpetol. Notes, 7: 59–65, who provided a second record for southeastern Ivory Coast and observations on variability, calls, and habitat.
19 July 2014: Added comments relevant to the study of García-R., Mendoza, Ospina, Cardenas, and Castro, 2014, J. Herpetol., 48: 220–227, who compared Pristimantis jubatus, Pristimantis kelephas and Pristimantis calcaratus (Craugastoridae) of Colombia, both with molecular evidence and morphometrics.

17 July 2014: Added Polypedates pseudotilophus (named by Matsui, Hamidy, and Kuraishi, 2014, Spec. Diversity, 19: 1–7), which was formerly recognized as the Sumatran and Javan populations of Polypedates otilophus.
9 July 2014: Completed adding relevant citations to Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 1–132, and Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3827: 599–600 (corrigenda), which provided a revision of Brachycephaloidea (Eleutherodactylidae and Craugastoridae) with reference to methodological issues in phylogenetic inference. Ceuthomantidae was placed in synonymy of Craugastoridae as a subfamily and the various species series and species group were redelimited to render a monophyletic taxonomy.
27 June 2014: Beginning to add changes extending from the brachycephaloid monograph by Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 1–132, and of course the first thing I noticed is a nomenclatural error that I should have caught months ago, that Ceuthomantinae is the senior name for what we refer to as Pristimantinae. Oh well huh. That is corrected in this catalog and in a published corrigendum in the near future.
16 June to 12 August: Added relevant citations to Fouquette and Dubois, 2014, Checklist N.A. Amph. Rept., 1(Amph.). As I went through it I found both errors of mine and of theirs; fortunately the rate in either direction was not huge, although I think they made more errors than what they corrected of mine. But, regardless, these are big projects and errors will propagate and this volume has presented me with the opportunity to find and correct a number of errors in ASW, so I thank the authors for that. However, inasmuch as 95% of this book was more-or-less downloaded directly from ASW, it couldn't have been much of a chore to check what I have put together over the last 34 years. For the differences that remain, well, those are cited in the comments. The authors largely adopted Dubois' heterodox view of both nomenclature and systematics, which will be new for most North Americans should they notice and (particularly in Bufonidae) if they are prepared to accept Dubois' concept of genus which requires substantial paraphyly. They and also seem to adopt different species concepts for different groups, for instance they consider Cryptobranchus bishopi to be a subspecies of C. alleganiensis even though substantial evidence points to both bishopi and alleganiensis being species complexes, while in the Desmognathus marmoratus complex they adopt an aggressively phylogenetic concept, while in their taxonomic treatment of Necturus of the Gulf Coast they adopt a nominalist concept and their statements throughout expose substantial misunderstandings of much of current thought in systematics (see their treatment of Pseudotriton montanus for a particularly egregious example). Readers should also understand that this volume ("7th edition") has no formal connection to the previous six editions other than the authors apparently liked the gravitas of the title and hoped it would help drive some level of acceptance of the taxonomy promoted therein. My undertstanding is that the 1st (Stejneger and Barbour, 1917, Check List N. Am. Amph. Rept.), 2nd (Stejneger and Barbour, 1923, Check List N. Am. Amph. Rept., Ed. 2), 3rd (Stejneger and Barbour, 1933, Check List N. Am. Amph. Rept., Ed. 3), 4th (Stejneger and Barbour, 1939, Check List N. Am. Amph. Rept., Ed. 4), and 5th (Stejneger and Barbour, 1943, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 93) editions were all done under the auspices of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, with the 6th (Schmidt, 1953, Check List N. Am. Amph. Rept., Ed. 6) being done under the auspices of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists which holds the copyright on the title. That these volumes were decreasingly relevant to the development of herpetology in the United States should be of no surprise to anyone (and a measure of success of the 1st edition) and this volume is certainly an extreme data point on the trend. Indeed, this volume is the kind of effort whose time is long past, as indeed, so was the 6th edition. This volume may be of interest to professional systematists, but I see little information here that is not available freely and more currently online from ASW, the SSAR/HL/ASIH standard common names list, the IUCN Redlist, and AmphibiaWeb. Print is simply dead for these kind of compendia.

I'm down to the wire, working against my deadline on my current book about women, work, and productivity. For me, writing a book is like running a marathon. Not that I've ever run a marathon, but go with me on this one. I think the mental exhaustion must be the same--even if there is no comparison whatsoever on the physical side. The point is, when one is focused so intently on one goal, it's easy to miss a lot that is going on around you and therefore to overlook God's gracious gifts.
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine showed me an app based on Ann Voskamp's book, One Thousand Gifts. I have not yet read the book, but I was immediately captivated by the idea of documenting gratitude. Using your phone, you are able to either enter text or a photo with text to capture a moment of thankfulness. These items are gifts of grace from a loving God. Mine range from pictures of people and why I'm grateful to them to things as mundane as my warm flannel sheets on a cold winter morning.
In our busy lives, I think it's easy to overlook the things we appreciate. I am grateful to have this app to capture those moments. I want to use this tool to cultivate gratitude for daily gifts.
Back to the marathon ...

Woman put in choke hold, robbed in Brooklyn
A woman walking down a Brooklyn street last Friday morning was put in a choke hold and robbed by two men, police said.
The victim, 38, was walking in front of 782 Myrtle Ave. in Bed-Stuy about 7 a.m. when the suspects approached her from behind, put her in a choke hold and took her bag that contained a computer, cell phone and wallet.
About an hour later, one of the men used the woman's credit card at a nearby McDonald's, police said.
Both suspects are described as black males, about 5-foot-6 and weighing 140 lbs.
The victim refused medical attention at the scene.

I just completely fail to see how this could possibly work. For a start, you can pick up dupes of all the luxury brands in any supermarket with a little homework (bloggers are fantastic at finding dupes!); there really aren't many that don't have a close or even exact likeness at a fraction of the price. Secondly, you really have to rely heavily on the person who had the polish before you to keep it in a pristine condition with the lid tightly closed so it doesn't go thick. Call me fussy, but I think I'd want to know who, with their full blown cold, coldsore or god knows what, had had their sticky fingers all over the polish before it came into my possession! I guess we assume that counters keep a great hygiene routine (we don't know though) but I feel a bit precious about my polishes and like to know where they came from.
According to Refinery 29, there is a 2500 wait list – we'll never know if this is true or not, data protection and all that – but given that for $18 – probably about £14, you can get three pretty decent polishes or one premium one, I just can't think how this can succeed. Who can be bothered to paint and post back?
I still keep thinking maybe it isn't actually true….

Who pays for the F-35 alternate engine?
The Pentagon has been telling Congress for years it doesn't want the F136 alternative engine for the F35 fighter jet, because it costs too much money.

Two nights of The Bachelor, and two nights of Tierrable decisions. Tired of that joke? Well, I'm tired of having to use it. But apparently, Sean is not ready to let her go. Yes, I've ruined the suspense of the rest of the blog, because that's all I can think about since my wine buzz has faded.
Date One: Catherine's One-On-One
Tuesday night, The Bachelor headed to Banff, Canada. I have to say the scenery was breathtaking.
Catherine received the first date, and they showed all of two seconds of the blizzard they "romantically" hung out in. I can just see Sean and Catherine grabbing two or three shots and peacin' out. Dinner was much better, and I really liked how Catherine opened up. She gets more beautiful every episode. She shared a very touching story about her friend passing away, and I was a bit disappointed Sean didn't really interact as much. Maybe we didn't see the whole conversation?

Group Date: Tierrable Drama
Alright, enough of that. Let's get to the drama: cue Tierra. The group date had the girls getting into their bikinis and taking a polar bear plunge. Selma wasn't having any of it. (Don't worry, girl. I would have hung out with you in the tent.)
After everyone jumped into the water and came out all smiles, Tierra started running around, looking for attention (cough), I mean a paramedic. Tierra was then put on oxygen for what seemed to be a missed diagnosis of hypothermia. Then, 15 minutes later, she strapped some boots on and crashed the cocktail party. This girl is full throttle crazy, and there is no stopping her. Thankfully, she didn't get a pity rose, but sadly this wasn't the last of her.

Date Three: Desiree's One-On-One
Desiree's date went well, but I couldn't concentrate because of Sean's ugly Christmas sweater. I mean, I know this is Canada, but this just was not acceptable. We may forgive Sean for keeping Tierra, but we will never forgive him for wearing that sweater. Sorry, bud.
At the cocktail party, Selma went 90-10 and gave Sean a kiss. (Did that peck even really count?) Don't worry, Selma. I think your mom would approve.
During the party, AshLee also gave Sean a scarf that apparently represented 20 or so things really important to her (Sean, don't ever lose that scarf). And Lindsay and Sean shared a really good kiss the best one yet. Maybe he is finally learning?
RELATED: Arie's Blog: Tierra Is Just Tierrable
I don't really know what to say about Tierra getting a rose over Selma. Ke$ha I would get, but Selma? If you guys follow me on twitter you know I have a crush on Selma, but regardless, did you see that dress? Was she too much for Sean to handle or did that peck just not peak Sean's "interest?""
There are six women left, and apparently they are all the woman for Sean. Only on The Bachelor can you ever say that to six women.

LA House Tour: Laura and Jason's Comfortable, Colorful Casa
Name:Laura Stang-O'Dell, creator and head designer of Porridge; Jason O'Dell, photographer; and Hazel, awesome dog
Location: Los Feliz
Size: 1600 sq/ft
Years lived in: 2 Years, own
Remember when we introduced you to Porridge Home a few weeks back? We promised you a house tour. But before jumping into it, here's a little tidbit of what the Stang-O'Dell home feels like: You know when you were a little kid and all of your friends met up at one friends' house because they had the best snacks and a Nintendo? Well, Laura and Jason's home has that same nostalgic vibe...it's comfortable, inviting, and just the sort of place where friends can help themselves to the fridge and kick back to some Steely Dan.
We're always looking for more candidates for house tours. If you or someone you know is interested in inviting us for a tour, please email us!
Laura was kind to sit down with us and chat about their home, Porridge, decor trends, and what's in store for the future...
Your Style: Spanish style meets modern eclectic.
Inspiration for Your Home: Traveling is a huge inspiration. Lately, we've been traveling to Europe; but this year, we may go to India. I'm so excited--I love that mix of bright colors and patterns.
What About Inspiration for Porridge? I'll get inspired by things I see around the neighborhood. For example, I'll see a napkin at a restaurant with a cool pattern on it, and I'll take a photo of it with my phone; or I'll see a girl wearing a cool vintage skirt, and I'll make a mental note of it and start sketching the minute I get back to the studio. Also, other designers and what they're doing inspires me: Dosa, Paul & Joe, Tracy Reese, Dwell...
Biggest Decor Pet Peeve: Clutter. Luckily, we're on the same page when it comes to that; so we usually do a big clean two or three times a year--we give away books, old clothes, you name it.
On Combining Styles: Thankfully, Jason and I see eye-to-eye on a lot of the decor. However, his tastes definitely lean more towards modern, and I was taking cues from the Spanish style of our home. You can see it in our living room--we've got modern sofas mixed with that rustic armchair and coffee table.
Your Thoughts on Decor Trends?: Well, I thought that the modern trend would taper off, but it hasn't really. I think modern furniture looks really cool, but most of it isn't very comfortable. What I've begun noticing is that some of the modern furniture shops have begun bringing in more eclectic pieces that are comfortable. It's interesting to see how people are mixing these styles together.
Most embarrassing element: The kitchen. When we first moved in the house, we didn't have to do too much...but the kitchen is a sore spot. It's a bit small, and feels disjointed from the rest of the house. Oh, and the front door knob falling out!
What Friends Say About Your Home: That it's their second home.
Proudest DIY: After our honeymoon in Capri, we got inspired to make a bamboo roof for the deck...by ourselves. Well, I can't take all the credit because Jason was the one on the ladder, tying it all down.
Biggest Design Influence: My dad. He had a really funky, eclectic style that embarrassed me when I was young...and now, I realize that I love that element of surprise.
If You Weren't a Designer, You Would Be...:...A makeup artist. It was my first job when I was 15 years old.
Favorite Color Combinations: Browns and neutrals for a base palette...and then I like to add bold colors: a bright lemon yellow, or a teal blue, maybe an orange-red...
Dream Source: We try to hit up the Rose Bowl Swap Meet every month. And when we travel, we'll go to hole-in-the-wall vintage thrift stores and antique shops, like the small mom-and-pop kind of places.
Any Future Plans for Your Home?: We really want to replace the windows in the dining room with bigger ones that go all the way to the floor so it's looking out to the deck--the light would be amazing. Also, we're thinking about knocking out the wall between the kitchen and the dining room to unify those two spaces. And it would be nice to have a bathroom downstairs!
What About Future Plans for Porridge Home?: I'd like to expand and make placemats, napkin sets, and shower curtains. I'd love to do one-off furniture pieces: maybe find a few really cool vintage pieces, restore the wood, and reupholster with Porridge fabric.
Thanks Laura, Jason, and Hazel for letting us in your home! Also, thanks Bethany for arranging all of this!

What a beautiful home. I love your color choices. I also have a spanish home, but struggle with the stucco walls that suck in color, tending to look muddy. I love all of your wall color, but especially bedroom. Do you have the paint color for your bedroom?
Lovely home...and that deck is spectacular.
thank you for sharing. the shot w/ the dappled sunshine on the chaise lounges is amazing. i wish i could sit there and enjoy a nice glass of lemonade!
Nice interiors.
Could you tell me where the rug/carpet in the living room is from?
Wow, my dream home... love everything from the deck to the living room rug, blue doors and windows, to the orange kitchen aid.
Look at that beautiful dog! Such soulful eyes...your home is lovely (the deck in particular), but Hazel is the best part, no doubt.
On another note - can we get those "back to the post" buttons that appeared during the Small Cool contest? I HATE having to click back or just go to AT home. Grrrr...
sigh... let's throw a party on that amazing deck.
I'm also curious about where the living room rug is from.
The home is as attractive and unique as the owner's fabulous line of clothing.
los feliz homes are always so warm and inviting. i love all the built ins.
Is this Spain or LA? Anyway I love this home and I am going to bookmark it so I can look at longingly...
Wow. Also, one of my sorors was/is named Laura Stange.
your home is gorgeous. i used to be big into moroccan and spanish design, but lately i've been leaning more towards modern. thanks for reminding me of what i've been missing. i love the way you've combined the various styles.
I so love that deck. it is made for sitting down with some nibbles and drinks at night while chatting to friends and watching the sun go down.
Curious, which way does the deck face?
Mafan <A HREF="http://www.dragonlasers.com">Green lasers rulz
i have to agree that hazel is the best part of the house, but then again i'm a sucker for a grey-faced vizsla! :)
Awesome place!!! I truly enjoyed this tour.
joyous home in which to dwell!
love that Hazel. I have a shelter Shep of the same name.
What great inspiration! I love all the colors. Where are your headboards from and where did you get the charming storage unit (around the toilet) in the bathroom?
I love the place, The deck is wonderful!
what an amazing home. you have done a wonderful job with the decorating. it's just lovely! where are the pillows on the outside patio from?
Thank you to everyone who has left a comment!!! I'll answer as many questions as possible...
I'm going backwards though.
The pillows outside are Porridge Pillows. You can buy them at www.porridgeclothing.com/store (the bedding too!)
The headboards are from Further LA in Silverlake. The storage unit is from Bed Bath and Beyond.
The Deck faces west.... Sun setting now....
The rug in the living room from, well, I can't remember. Sorry!
Also don't have the name of the paint in the bedroom...
Wow, one of my favorite AT tours ever! I love that deck.

At a press conference held August 20, Southland Conference Commissioner Tom Burnett officially invited the University of the Incarnate Word to join the conference, effective July 1, 2013. The membership will coincide with the San Antonio-based institution's four-year transition to NCAA Division I.
Currently a member of the Division II Lone Star Conference, UIW will begin the four-year shift to Division I with the Southland Conference's assistance and oversight. It is expected that UIW will begin counting as an NCAA Division I team for scheduling purposes in 2014-15, and will be fully eligible for NCAA Championship events in 2017-18. UIW sponsors a total of 21 teams in men's and women's sports, more than any other NCAA Division II school in Texas.
"We are truly blessed to be joining such an outstanding conference like the Southland," said UIW President Dr. Louis Agnese. "We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the SLC that will be equally rewarding to our students and the residents of San Antonio."
"The Southland Conference Board of Directors is very pleased to extend an offer of membership to the University of the Incarnate Word," said Dr. Baker Pattillo, Southland Board Chairman and the president at Stephen F. Austin State University. "Further, we are honored to learn of the institution's acceptance of our offer, and we are gratified by the approval of the UIW Board of Trustees and the visionary leadership of the university's administration. The Southland presidents look forward to a beneficial partnership with UIW, its athletic program and the San Antonio community."
In July, UIW hosted a four-person delegation from the NCAA's Southland Conference. The visit by the SLC site committee was a fact-finding mission, to familiarize SLC representatives UIW as a university and with Cardinal athletics.
Since 2007-08, more than 20 Cardinals' squads have claimed league titles and advanced to national postseason play. UIW's 2011-12 athletic year was highlighted by a conference tournament championship in softball, a tournament title game appearance in women's basketball, a second-place league finish in men's tennis, an NCAA men's soccer tournament berth, and upper division finishes in men's basketball and women's tennis.
The Southland Conference participates in the NCAA's Division I for all sports; for football, it participates in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
Member schools of the SLC are: University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Oral Roberts University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University, and Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi.

Tesco's loyalty focus is just one part of fixing bad brand perceptions
Tesco's loyalty director says the supermarket is shifting its rewards strategy to be more emotionally and less functionally driven. It's one small step on the long road towards recovering its business growth, which is being hampered by negative brand sentiment, according to YouGov data.
At Marketing Week Live last week (27 June), Katie Wadey said Tesco recognises that "you have to treat those people who have shown you loyalty to a better service or a better experience than you do those shoppers who are promiscuous". For example, the supermarket is planning to introduce local rewards, letting customers redeem Tesco Clubcard points at independent as well as chain restaurants.
Loyalty is just one of many areas in which Tesco has fallen behind its rival Sainsbury's in the past year or two. The latter's partnership with Nectar opens up a level of flexibility that Tesco Clubcard can't match, given the range of brands that offer and redeem Nectar points.
The reasons behind Tesco's business problems become starker still when you consider the brand alongside not just the other 'big four' supermarkets – Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons – but also next to the smaller, traditionally more premium grocery offerings of Waitrose and Marks & Spencer. Both have extended their price ladders downwards since the UK's economic downturn began, so they are stealing a greater share of the mass market.
According to consumer survey data from YouGov's BrandIndex tool, Tesco has the lowest overall index score of all six brands – something it seriously needs to address.
On YouGov's measures of quality and reputation, Sainsbury's is the only 'big four' supermarket able to compete with Waitrose and M&S. For Asda and Morrisons, the upside of this is that they rank above the rest of the market on perceptions of value, but disturbingly for Tesco it can't find any solace here.
Tesco ranks fifth out of the six brands on value, according to YouGov, having plummeted from second place in summer 2011. Only upmarket Waitrose now scores lower. Compared with its competition, Tesco is now experiencing the worst of all worlds where brand perceptions are concerned.
It's hard to see how Tesco could recapture its value positioning without further hurting its profit margins, so engendering customer loyalty is probably a good plan. The brand needs to show it stands for far more than price.
Making a Clubcard membership feel like a rewarding experiencing – and then evaluating the loyalty scheme data to see whether it's working – will just be a part of bringing the business back to life.
Readers' comments (2)
I think tescos need to go a little further then just rewarding customers, almost everyone I know has a view that tescos treat their suppliers, local and international and their staff very poorly. They have ruined many local independent stores around my area and not given much back.
I personally wouldn't shop in tesco if you paid me and choose more sustaiable stores which repect out communities
Re customer loyalty ... I have discovered a neighbour of mine received tokens for 4 weeks for £12.50 off when you spend £50 either instore or online each week, she knows several people who received them. On calling Tesco Clubcard to ask why I did not get them I was informed that Marketing sent them out and nothing could be done about it. I have shopped with Tesco for many years and I am so mad that I didn't get these tokens I am seriously considering changing to Asda which has now opened in Fraserburgh. Of course, what is one old woman leaving Tesco to Marketing.

Item was successfully added to your cart
View Cart
The wine was barrel fermented in 75% French Burgundian oak barrels and 25% stainless steel barrels and aged on the lees for just less than 11 months. This is a Chardonnay with attractive honeyed tropicial fruit and toasty oak. These flavors are beautifully balanced with copious amounts of tangy tart apple and lemon giving the wine a refreshing yet lengthy finish.
This is the maiden release of a Rosé wine from Whitehall Lane Winery, and this pink wine was not made by accident. Named "Cub Red" by our club members, this summer sipper is a refreshing, subtler version of our red blend, Tre Leoni. Made by bleeding off some of the wonderful sweet Syrah juice after the grapes cold soaked and macerated on the skins for one day. This rosé wine displays subtle flavors of strawberry, cherry and raspberry with a dash of citrus zest. Enjoy chilled on a warm summer day.
BLEND: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot,4% Malbec
This wine is a blend of the winery's Fawn Park Vineyard and Leonardini Vineyard fruit. The small amounts of Malbec and Petit Verdot add color, depth and complexity to this classic offering. The wine was aged in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels for 24 months.

- Describe how to retain and recognize program personnel (leaders, instructors and trainers)
- Describe the Arthritis Foundation certification and recertification process and requirements
Although this chapter is primarily geared to Arthritis Foundation (AF) staff, information will also be useful to state health departments and partnering organizations that coordinate multiple program personnel. A lot of time, effort and expense is involved in recruitment and training. Getting individuals to meet their teaching commitment and to continue delivering classes over time requires ongoing efforts to nurture them and help them feel appreciated. Successful organizations keep valuable program personnel by providing a variety of retention and recognition activities. Failure to provide meaningful support not only leads to high drop out rates, but it also can increase your labor and program costs. In addition, good performance and behaviors that are unrecognized are likely to deteriorate or stop.

During the past few years import racers have gained new respect. What was once considered to be a niche market has grown in size and sophistication to the point that it has now garnered the attention of the so-called mainstream performance industry.
Much of the credit for this has to go to those individuals who paid the price in time and money to develop the state-of-the-art import racecars that are now seen on drag strips throughout the country.
Today's electronics also deserve a good deal of credit for accelerating this rapid advancement of import car technology. One of the technological shortcuts that has made it possible for import pioneers to speed the development and evolutionary process of quarter-mile performance is data acquisition. By monitoring the functions that were critical to their car's performance, import tuners were able to identify the areas that needed the most help, focus their attention on the modifications that produced the greatest results, and avoid those that paid little dividends. The fact that this acquisition of data also helped them steer clear of potential problems, while verifying their efforts, was an added bonus.
You don't have to be a heavily sponsored racer to reap the benefits of data acquisition. Racepak Data Systems of Lake Forest, Calif. wants to offer this technology to weekend warriors and even serious high-power street cars. In the past equipping a car with a data recorder was often beyond the budget, and sometimes abilities, of the average racer. That is no longer the case. More than 95 percent of all professional drag racers use a Racepak data recorder. Recently Racepak has developed a new line of recorders that not only satisfies the needs of the most demanding pro, but also covers the budget-minded weekend sportsman racers as well. This series of data recorders came about as the result of new technology that the company calls V-Net.
In essence, the V-Net (an acronym for vehicle network) integrates many of the vehicle's electrical components into a network system, much like a computer network. The result is an amazingly simple system that is capable of performing a multitude of tasks. The primary function of these V-Series recorders is still to log data, but now they do it with a greater degree of efficiency. The user gets more channels of information, for a longer period of time, at faster sampling rates, and all from a smaller and lighter package. In addition, they are capable of using the acquired data to perform functions by out-putting the signals obtained from single or combined sources. Another feature of the V-Series recorders that will immediately grab your attention is the lack of wiring that is required. This is a byproduct of the V-Net.
The V-Net has the unique ability to transfer the signals from all sensors, regardless of whether they are analog or digital, to the recorder over a single cable. Running individual wires from every sensor to the recorder, which can result in some massive wire looms, is thankfully a thing of the past. Now all of the sensors simply clip onto a single main cable that runs from sensor to sensor and on to the recorder. Finally, you will be surprised to find that you can now integrate the gauges in your car with these systems. Racepak makes some unusually talented gauges, called Intelli-Gauges, that also snap right onto that single V-Net cable, allowing the gauges to make use of the wiring network and data acquisition quality sensors to source their signals.
The heart of a V-Net system is so cleverly integrated that it is almost overlooked at first glance. Each of the blue connector modules that link the sensors into the V-Net cable appears to be nothing more than a simple connector.

I'll try to use even fewer words than were spoken in this film, if that's even possible. So here goes:
"Gerry" is the most self-indulgent, pointless and boring movie I've seen since "My Dinner With Andre."
I think I made it under the wire.

The movie starts by having us watch Gerry and Gerry run through the desert. After a while they realize that they are lost, but choose to ignore this.
The most annoying part of the movie is that it just keeps going like this. Once you've seen the beginning you've seen it all. They don't show any sign of fatigue or thirst or hunger until the very end of the movie. The characters don't develop, they are stuck in the first scene. van Sant makes sure the two, especially Affleck, look beautiful throughout the movie. Even in the scene where he dies, Affleck is perfectly tanned, with perfect hair and make-up. The movie feels as if van Sant just wanted to shoot Affleck on a 100 min cat walk.
If you love watching sweet boys in front of magnificent landscape then this film is for you. If not, then don't waste your time with it.

This is the equivalent of Blank Canvas hanging in wall of a modern art museum while those "in the know" spend hours trying to decipher its meaning which, being a blank canvas can mean whatever you want it to mean. As such, "Gerry" could be a masterpiece evoking this or that, or exagerating the mood you happened to be in; you have to bring your own meaning... But as a movie it is boring!
OK, so you watch Matt Damon and Casey Affleck drive down a road without speaking, deadpan and serious for a long time, too long a time... Telling a story? make your own! Looking for a "thing"? Make your own thing! Then they come to a place that, well, may be here I am too picky and sensible, but it just doesn't seem like a place wrere anybody could get lost, but our heroes do... Then they walk, and walk and walk, and walk. Oh, Casey limbs up a rock from which he cannot climb down (like a cat up a tree):make your own metaphor here, easy one-he is really stupid! And when Matt Damon finally kills him, the climax when something finally happens, it's done without any gravitas or much thought, or may be here too the viewer is supposed to supply his own... Disappointing!!!

I just saw this film on IFC and found it monotonous and depressing to say the least... I kept waiting for some dialog of significance or ANYTHING to happen. It didn't. Scenes of beautiful landscape and silent walking drag on & on.... Intentional or not, it's like watching paint dry, but more upsetting. Even during the climax? when Affleck dies, I was still unsure if he was living or dead? I found it a self-idulgent waste of time...

Gerry and Gerry clearly have some sort of vague wilderness understanding indicated by the jargon they use ("mountain scoutabouts" and "dirt mattresses") but we are never informed how they got this understanding, or whether it didn't just come from watching television.
Indeed, one has the impression throughout the movie that these two are the product of the TV and video game generation. The only extended piece of dialog comes in the form of a campfire story in which one tells the other an extended story of how he "conquered Thebes." After a minute of faltering rambling we realize that he is talking about the computer game "civilization." The two characters seem somehow numbed to everything, even the gravity of their situation. Their urban training in non-expressiveness keeps them from having anything that seems like a real moment.
And yet here they are, lost in the desert. It's a bizarre concatination - everything that the reflects the boredom and detachement of modern civilization, so overprotected in it's cradle of electronic distration that, once it finds itself lost with nature imposing itself from everywhere, it cannot grasp the gravity of it's own dilemma, much less solve it.

UTAS Home › Tasmanian School of Business & Economics › Accounting Communication Matters › Writing an Essay or Report
Good communication skills are an important skill in any profession including accounting. The Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs [DEETYA] report on employer satisfaction of graduate skills noted that there was "little complaint about the content of university courses, despite the [students'] claim that much that is taught is not used" and that the most common complaint about new graduates was that they couldn't communicate in writing in a manner appropriate for business (1998, p. 22). The DEETYA report reflected that:
[a]ccording to anecdotal evidence here, up to half of graduates who are achieving adequate academic results, can be rejected by employers after testing for literacy and numeracy.
Five steps for making academic writing easier from CQ University
In this section we will be offering students a range of advice and activities to improve their written communication skills.

In this #DavDispatch from Day 9 of the 'Ring of Fire' Volcano tour, Chris Davenport checks in from the summit of Oregon's 11,239' Mt. Hood.
Posts tagged Mountaineering
The following string of photos tells the story of the amazing experience Team Volcano Tour (and a bunch of friends) had on Mt. Hood yesterday. From their 3:30am wake up call to their post-ski revelry, we hope you enjoy the chronology of images below.

Hey hey All!!
Guest blogger Asit Rathod checking in from the 'Ring of Fire' Volcano Tour and Mount Hood; and what a day it was my friends!
Quote of the day award goes to Jess McMillan during brunch in Hood River…"I'm really happy about being drunk right now" (ed. note: let's face it everyone, she's earned it). It's funny but as we grow older and the years keep adding we start realizing how much life changes but good friends still stay the same.
So I got an email a few weeks back from my old friend Chris Davenport that his merry band of crazies were going to ski the Pacific Northwest 'Ring of Fire.' I read the itinerary and thought they'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than staying true to the dates. Well son of a gun, I should have bought that lottery ticket.
We all rendezvoused around 10pm in the parking lot of Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood last night and it was as if time had never passed since our days together almost two decades ago. Yes we are that old. Then out of nowhere, I see a smile that made me smile from within as if I had just seen the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause kung fu fighting each other. Mr. Jim Morrison gave me a hug and that signature smile that was exactly as I remembered it 15+ years ago. I knew a whole lot of awesomeness was about to happen but we had to get some zzzzzz's. So a big hug, HI-5's, and 'sleep well's' was all that two old friends could give each other.

As I sit here in the Spyder Land Yacht driving north towards tomorrow's objective, Mt. Hood, I can't help but reflect on the last eight days and the ten peaks we've skied. Both Jess and I have mentioned in our blog posts how cool it is each day to look south and see the mountains we have skied, and then to turn north and see our future. We're tired – really tired – with tens of thousands of vertical feet in our legs and only one rest day … yet somehow the stoke meter stays pinned.
This trip has been a dream on many levels, but perhaps the greatest gifts have been from Mother Nature herself. The weather has been perfect the entire time, and the corn-snow cycle as good as it gets on these big Cascade volcanoes. What we did in our lives to arrive at this place and be blessed with such gifts is beyond me. I'm just grateful to share these experiences with such amazing people.
I think I have heard Jess say "today was my favorite volcano" at least five or six times so far, and it was loud and clear today on Mt. Jefferson. This massive mountain has no easy access this time of year and was the lowest starting point we have had so far (around 3,100') so we were looking at a huge day.

Yesterday was our biggest day of the trip so far in terms of distance covered, vertical climbed & skied, and pure effort exerted. Luckily for us we had some great local knowledge. We hooked up with local skier and owner of Three Sisters Backcountry huts Jonas Tarlen through our friend David Marchi; Jonas took us on a grand adventure. Jess and I were ready for a big day, but when it was all over we were definitely whooped!
Aside from losing an hour trying to summit North Sister in icy conditions, we moved quickly all day and finished the almost 18 mi. traverse of over 10,000' vertical in just under 12 hours. One of the coolest and perhaps most surprising aspects of this day was that during a perfect weather window, and in ideal snow conditions, we didn't see another soul out there in Central Oregon's biggest mountains.
Three Sisters Vital stats: The Three Sisters Traverse is comprised of three separate summits: North Sister (10,085'), Middle Sister (10,047'), and South Sister (10,358').
We skied Mt. Washington this morning (our 9th volcano in 6 days) and are headed to the trailhead for tomorrow's big day on Mt. Jefferson. Our internet connection has been quite slow during this part of the trip, so I'm going to let the photos (below) tell the story on this one. I think you'll enjoy…
But not without a final shout-out to Shane, Jonas' partner at ThreeSistersBackcountry who picked us up on the road in his snow-machine, complete with chocolate milk and beer! Thanks Shane!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more from Washington and Jefferson.

Dav Discusses #VolcanoTour on National Geographic Weekend
Chris Davenport joined National Geographic Weekend just before the #VolcanoTour began to discuss the journey. Press play above to listen to the interview.
Their synopsis:
The world's best skiing is not found at the top of a chairlift. Professional skier Chris Davenport knows this better than anyone, so he gets off the groomed runs… and climbs mountains in his ski boots. He has skied Everest's Lhotse Face, but this spring is taking it easy by targeting volcanos in the Pacific Northwest, including Mt. Rainier, Mt. Washington and Mt. Shasta. Follow his #VolcanoTour on Twitter.
Jess McMillan just checked in on Instagram with a photo update from the top of Mt. Washington in Oregon.
Stay tuned for posts about yesterday's epic (17 mi., 3 summit) Three Sisters' Odyssey and today's Mt. Washington adventure.

I'm going to keep this post a bit short, mainly because Mt. Bachelor is perhaps the least interesting of all the volcanoes we hope to ski on this journey. So how did we come to ski two volcanoes in one day? Well, the story goes like this… After an awesome morning on Mt. Thielson we drove two hours north to Bend and pulled into the totally sweet Crown Villa RV Resort. This place is so plush and relaxing!
We busted out the grill and fixed up some delicious fish tacos that had been marinating in the fridge for 24 hours in a tequila lime seasoning from Whole Foods Market. During lunch, as our bellies filled up, Daron, Jess and I were all feeling pretty recovered. It was only 2 pm and I said, "Why don't we get ahead of the curve here and go skin up Bachelor this evening for a sunset ski?" Without hesitation, Daron and Jess were in! We had a plan. That's the thing I love about this group… everyone is motivated and full of positive energy. So we digested for an hour and then drove up to the West base area at Bachelor for an easy 3400' skin.
The ski area is closed Monday through Wednesday right now so we had the entire area to ourselves and skinned up a beautiful groomed track.

VIDEO: #DavDispatch for Day 4 of the #VolcanoTour. After ripping a wide open swath of corn on Mt. Thielson in the morning, Dav, Jess, and Daron had a crazy idea and decided to ALSO ski Mt. Bachelor. Two volcanoes, one day. You can't make this stuff up.
