LONG MELFORD, Sudbury, CO10 9AAWrite a review
Set in the unspoilt village of Long Melford, the house has changed little externally since 1578 when Queen Elizabeth I was entertained here, and retains its original panelled banqueting hall. It has been the home of the Hyde Parker Family since 1786. There is a Regency library, Victorian bedrooms, good collections of furniture and porcelain and a small display of items connected with Beatrix Potter, who was related to the family. The garden contains some spectacular specimen trees and a banqueting house and there is an attractive walk through the park.

Interesting blog commentary and reporting out there recently involving Gawker Media and Weblogs, Inc. -- networks started by Nick Denton and Jason Calacanis that share a famous rivalry. The upshot? How both of these early movers in blog network business models are suffering old-media growing pains. ItŌĆÖs an art-imitating-life moment.
Valleywag, a Gawker Media blog, is reporting that AOL, which bought CalacanisŌĆÖ Weblogs Inc. in 2005 as the first major blog M&A transaction for an estimated $25 million, is shutting down a collection of its smaller blog sites to focus attention on bigger revenue bread-winners like Engadget, Autoblog and Joystiq. Calacanis points out in a comment reply to the Valleywag post that ŌĆ£Niche blogs are great, but when you're running a scale business like AOL is you're better off focusing on your HUGE winners like Autoblog, Engadget, Joystiq, etc.ŌĆØ Sound familiar?
As for DentonŌĆÖs Gawker Media, its namesake blog recently shuffled top editors as outgoing Chris Mohney will end his six-month tenure to be replaced by a returning Choire Sicha, who ran the site three years ago. In a Wall Street Journal Online story, Denton points out that, in some ways, his growing new media company is very much like an old media company. ŌĆ£Gawker Media is increasingly like a mainstream media company, where writers are reassigned, or leave the company, stay in the orbit and return, later.ŌĆØ
An analysis of publishersŌĆÖ statements filed with Audit Bureau of Circulations revealed that while some franchise issues, like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, are wildly popular with consumers, others are not.
But that shouldnŌĆÖt de-value the importance of special magazine issues. ThereŌĆÖs a great many people who each year look forward to People magazineŌĆÖs 100 Most Beautiful People list, as well as Forbes annual Investment Guide. Instead, magazines should look for ways to tweak their formula to meet the needs of the consumer.
Or, even better, publishers should do what Forbes is doing, making its annual lists of Billionaires, Most Powerful Celebrities, Top Companies to Work For, etc., a true multimedia experience. Forbes realizes that there are a lot of people out there that just will not pay for news anymore. So rather than trying to beat them, theyŌĆÖve joined them.
Whenever a special issue of Forbes comes out, itŌĆÖs one of the top stories of the day highlighted by the search engine Yahoo. From the Yahoo story, readers can link to Forbes Web site where they can find even more articles and information on the special information contained in that franchise issue. And Forbes doesnŌĆÖt just offer little teasers on its Web site of the articles featured in the print version of the franchise issue. Instead, it gives readers full magazine articles and original Web content that can either complement or be read in place of the magazine.
And the effort is working because even when the franchise issue doesnŌĆÖt fly off the shelf, hits to ForbesŌĆÖ Web site increase greatly during the week that the issue hits the stands. Using those metrics, Forbes can probably, if it hasnŌĆÖt started to already, begin charging advertisers a premium to advertise on its site during peak traffic weeks such as those when its franchise issues come out.
IŌĆÖm writing a story for the February issue on the division of online labor. IŌĆÖve chatted with some companies who are really taking care of back-end Web responsibilities the right wayŌĆöTime Inc., New York Magazine, Advanstar. I have a feeling though, that most publishers, especially smaller ones, are doing it wrong.
Staffing your technology department can be pricey. Computer guys donŌĆÖt get paid peanuts. For example, an XML coder can charge $45 to $65 an hour to code content for various digital uses. But itŌĆÖs important for publishing company owners to face the reality that they are going to have to spend the money on hiring the right people to run their Web sites and e-media properties. That means building a department that is devoted entirely to creating digital products, that works directly with editorial, sales, marketing and circ.
DonŌĆÖt misconstrue the concept, either: IT and e-media are not one in the same. You donŌĆÖt want the guy that sets up your voicemail to design your Web site, itŌĆÖs just not a smart business move. At the bare minimum, publishers should invest in at least one strong e-media manager. That person may cost a pretty penny, but they will be well worth it. From there he or she can train college grads and give them the skills they need to drive your Web properties to their maximum capacity.More...
OK, so maybe itŌĆÖs not so new, but have you noticed in the last year or so how the pace has changed? I donŌĆÖt care if you write for a monthly or even a quarterly magazineŌĆöonline all the deadlines are daily.
My first job was as an editor of a bi-weekly print newsletter (a nearly defunct business model these days). Most of the editors were recent colleges graduates, working on their own weekly or bi-weekly newsletters. However, the company did offer a daily e-mail newsletterŌĆöcutting edge back thenŌĆöcalled ŌĆ£Media DailyŌĆØ written by two editors who were there well before 9 and long after 5. We soft print editors would shake our heads in awe at the pace.
That seems almost laughable today, when putting out a daily newsletter is just part of the package and a 10-hour workday seems like early dismissal. Last January, the CNNMoney.com site redesigned to incorporate exclusive online content from Fortune, Money, Business 2.0 and Fortune Small Business. A team of 35 journalists focuses solely on creating content and today the site publishes nearly 100 stories per day, more than triple the number it posted a year ago, according to executive editor and vice president Chris Peacock. ŌĆ£The formula is volume and velocity,ŌĆØ says Peacock. ŌĆ£This is obviously a challenge for smaller publishers but itŌĆÖs not insurmountable.ŌĆØ Peacock cites Business 2.0 which has a ŌĆ£small staffŌĆØ [small at least by Fortune standards] in which every staffer, including editor Josh Quittner, writes a blog and posts at least two items per day.
The push for ŌĆ£community contentŌĆØ is also changing the editorŌĆÖs role. IDG EntertainmentŌĆÖs GamePro.com re-launched last spring with an emphasis on communityŌĆöand user submissions have swelled from an average of 155 user submissions per day to 2,650 per day, according to marketing director Simon Tonner. ŌĆ£You have to be in touch with these users all the time,ŌĆØ says Tonner. ŌĆ£You may come in the morning and think you have four stories to write but you might open up the forums and see if thereŌĆÖs a topic being discussed that completely changes your focus. You have to have that flexibility, and that might be a completely different work environment than what youŌĆÖre used to do.ŌĆØ
But ultimately, volume doesnŌĆÖt necessarily equal quality. The role of the editor online isnŌĆÖt just to keep the content assembly line moving but maintaining quality control. ŌĆ£With the volume of content going online and the rush to publish, an online editor needs to be fluent with the software skills but needs to be a good copy editor as well,ŌĆØ says Wyatt Kash, editorial director at Government Computer News.
How are you managing the editorial workflow online?
IŌĆÖm writing a story for the February issue on writerŌĆÖs contracts and how magazine editors are setting them up in light of onlineŌĆÖs growing influence. Contracts, and how the magazineŌĆÖs ŌĆō or Web siteŌĆÖs ŌĆō use of content plays out are an interesting reflection of where the industry is pursuing their product opportunities ŌĆō or should be. The models are varied ŌĆō some publishers have retained separate online content producers, while others combine print and online editorial production teams. Consider MacWorld, which test-drives some if its content online before it makes it into the print title. (Kind of like what IŌĆÖm doing here, to a lesser degree, for a story thatŌĆÖs scheduled for February.)
But itŌĆÖs more than that. ŌĆØYou canŌĆÖt even say online,ŌĆØ says Erik Sherman, freelance writer and chair, American Society of Journalists and Authors contracts committee. ŌĆ£How about television? How about radio? What happens if your story gets turned into a movie, which gets turned into a Broadway musical? How about book rights?ŌĆØ
The New York Times on Sunday pointed out how magazines are serializing their office life as reality TV fodder, and content is regularly being turned into Webcast material. How this is all represented in a contract is getting increasingly complicated. But as publishers navigate the rights issues, the progressive ones are thinking beyond first publication and all electronic to what they think the content will ultimately be used for and representing that in their agreements with the content creator.
Whatever the right formula is for attracting and keeping a fickle teenage audience, Teen Vogue seems to have found it. At a time when teenagers are turning to the Web for most of their news and information, Teen Vogue continues to find success with both readers and advertisers.
According to the latest Publishers Information Bureau statistics, Teen Vogue increased ad revenues in 2006 by 31.1 percent to just under $101.83 million, up from $77.67 million in 2005. Pages-in-book for the teen title increased 22.3 percent to 1,223.44, from 1,000.36 in 2005.
The publication, which turns four in February, also increased its rate base in October of last year from 850,000 to 900,000 ŌĆō its third rate base increase since its launch. And its total paid and verified circulation has climbed from 850,000 in 2005 to just under a million.
But other teen titles have struggled. Teen People and ElleGirl folded their print publications last year, but maintain a Web presence. Cosmogirl, which has a lower market share than Teen Vogue, enjoyed growth last year in its ad revenues, up 12.2 percent to just under $81.1 million, but its pages in book grew by just 3 percent to 794.33 from 771.36.
Seventeen, the oldest of the teen bunch, saw its pages in book dip 3.7 percent last year to 936.65 from 972.30 in 2005. Its revenues grew just 2.5 percent to $101.87 million from $99.3 million in 2005.
Whether Teen Vogue continues to be successful remains to be seen. One thing's for sure though. While other teen magazines focus a lot of attention on celebrities and/or sex, much to the disappointment of parents, Teen Vogue focuses almost entirely on fashion and that could be the key to its success. Maybe. More...
Being the reality-TV junkie I am, I couldnŌĆÖt help but notice the abundance of cable TV programs that have partnerships with consumer magazines. Networks like Bravo, which teams up with Cooking Light and Conde NastŌĆÖs ELLE for hit reality shows ŌĆ£Top ChefŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Project Runway,ŌĆØ generate unprecedented PR for the magazines that are featured on the programs.
ŌĆ£The Hills,ŌĆØ an MTV reality spin-off of the hugely popular ŌĆ£Laguna Beach,ŌĆØ follows the life of main ŌĆ£characterŌĆØ Lauren Conrad as she interns at Teen Vogue in Los Angeles. And the networkŌĆÖs latest reality installment, which debuted last Sunday, ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm From Rolling Stone,ŌĆØ has Yann WennerŌĆÖs face on overdrive across numerous ads and promotions.
Using successful (though sometimes cheesy) reality TV as a branding outlet to reach consumers is genius. These cable networks allow the marketers at these publications to reach their demographic from an entirely different angle and there is no better way to build buzz and credibility around a brand. Bravo! More...
Just got back from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Normally, IŌĆÖd say that the CES event is a bit far afield for Folio: Magazine, what with all the booths offering iPod aftermarket products and so on.
But Aspire MediaŌĆÖs Clay Hall, a magazine-industry CEO with vision, convened a group of enthusiast and b-to-b publishers to discuss exactly what the CES represents for our future as print publishers.
I have to tell you: The show itself was totally overwhelming. Both of two convention centers were packed with exhibits. ItŌĆÖs really several shows in one. Everything from geeky computer technology to plastic gadgets to camera gear was represented. There were toys, and ubiquitous cell-phone items. They offered TV on cell phones, TV on computers. Computers on cell phones. And on and on.
Vegas was, of course, Vegas. I like the place and I donŌĆÖt even gamble.
But the real value was a rich two days of discussions of the future of magazine publishing in the face of the electronic tide. The participants were fabulous, starting with Ken Bronfin, president of Hearst Interactive Media. Ken offered an eye-opening overview of electronic paper, which Hearst has invested in heavily and which is already gaining commercial traction in books and newspapers. For Bronfin, itŌĆÖs only a matter of a couple of years before e-paper is a significant force in magazines. Compare it to digital musicŌĆöand how it revolutionized the music industry, he says.
Other participants were Terry Snow, CEO of World Publications, Michela OŌĆÖConnor Abrams, president and publisher of Dwell, Mark Edmiston, Managing Director of AdMedia Partners, Don Nicholas, Managing Director of The Mequoda Group, Don Peschke, CEO of August Home Publishing, Dan Wiesner, CEO of Wiesner Publishing and Steve Lalibeerte, president of iProduction, a St. Paul, Minnesota, e-publishing solutions provider.
In an all-star cast, Peschke stood out. August Home Publishing, a largely reader-driven company, stands out for its success in generating reader revenue, for brand extensions, for moving into e-media and for how Peschke, who started the Des Moines, Iowa-based company in 1978, approaches management and leadership. ŌĆ£The role of a manager is not to supervise other people,ŌĆØ Peschke says on the companyŌĆÖs Web site. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs to help other people, including our customers, be successful.ŌĆØ
Look for more from Peschke and the rest of the participants in a special roundtable in the March issue of Folio:.
Private equity investors are chomping at the bit for more M&A action in 2007 after making headlines in 2006 as the new media M&A rainmakers. Indeed, private equity players are making a splash across many markets, not just magazines and media. Even as small to mid-sized companies are bought out and rolled up into operating platforms, large public companies are taking advantage of the active market to go private ŌĆō to find relief from Sarbanes-Oxley, among other motivators.
But even as the reporting continues to examine private equityŌĆÖs boom, thereŌĆÖs a building undercurrent of speculation on when the good times will end. At ABMŌĆÖs Top Management Meeting in Chicago last November, bankers were marveling out one side of their mouths at private equityŌĆÖs rise over the last 12 months while wondering out the other side when economic conditions would put the breaks on the whole thing. For now, no one is willing to get too specific. The stars have aligned: publishers have generally built up their event divisions, whether organically or via acquisition, and have moved aggressively into e-media with nary a glass of Kool-Aid in sight. And thereŌĆÖs a hungry pack of buyers ready to get going.
And e-media this year will be a critical dealmaking factor as all of 2006ŌĆÖs must-have features, services and products coalesce into practical (or not) business elements. As if to underscore buyer eagerness and, possibly, the sense that all good things will someday come to an end, the DeSilva + Phillips 2007 M&A Report puts it this way: ŌĆ£In 2006, media executives were still worried that getting it wrong would be more harmful than not acting at all. Yet if there was ever a case of pent-up demand ŌĆō and a growing recognition that now is the time to act decisively ŌĆō look at your watch. ItŌĆÖs time.ŌĆØ
A Folio: and Readex survey conducted last year showed that print remains the dominant revenue stream for publishers. ThatŌĆÖs in spite of the fact that print advertising is declining and both readers and advertisers are flocking to the Web. Much of the problem stems not from a lack of investment in online media, but from a lack of understanding on the part of publishers on how to monetize their Web properties.
The issue is two-fold. For one, setting print advertising rates is second nature in the publishing industry and is often done using a rate base or by using paid or controlled circulation models. But setting advertising rates online is more difficult and publishers often find themselves with the quandary of whether to set rates according to Web traffic or impressions, or according demographics or how much time users actually spend on their sites.
The second issue is a lack of space and creativity in the online ad realm. Publishers need to move beyond the banner ad and the often-ineffective interstitial and find other, more creative ways to allow advertisers to market their products and services. This could be remedied as simply as adding more video, audio, sponsorship and social networking offerings to Web sites. But publishers must also think outside the box to offer advertisers more diverse ways to reach to consumers.
VNU Business Media this week launched a job portal that will combine the resources of its entertainment, advertising and media trade publications on a single Web site. The hope, said VNU eMedia group sales director Jeff Green, is that the portal will allow VNU to take a large bite out of the $50 million employers in the aforementioned three industries spend annually to advertise jobs on major and niche job sites. Because the three different industries often look for employees with similar skill sets, VNU believes theyŌĆÖll have an advantage over their competition by offering a one-stop shop for people working in advertising, entertainment and/or media jobs. And who knows, they just might.
The time has come to not only put in place a quantifiable method for setting ad rates online, but to also look for new and creative ways to make money online. Two-thousand-seven should be the year to monetize the Web. More...
Seventeen has finally found someone to replace Atoosa Rubenstein, the former editor in chief of the Hearst teen mag who quit in November to launch her own teen-centered Web business, write a book and start a consultancy specializing in the youth market. After several months and plenty of gossip surrounding the search for a replacement, CosmoGirl executive editor Ann Shoket has been selected to assume the role of filling RubensteinŌĆÖs shoes.
Although Rubenstein received a lot of flack during her three years as editor for her Today Show-MTV-talking head-My Space enthusiast-Spice Girl image, I think Shoket should strive to be like her predecessor. As the editor of Seventeen magazine, it is ShoketŌĆÖs job to be a role model for her readers, and get herself out there as much as possible to build the brand. Rubenstein became the face of the publication, putting herself on every media outlet to reach her target audience. IsnŌĆÖt that what consumer magazine editorŌĆÖs strive to do every day? More...
Do publishing brands these days seem a little confusing? Maybe itŌĆÖs because of all the consolidation in the marketplace and the need to start fresh. Maybe itŌĆÖs because of the rise in e-publishing and the need to convey a sense of ŌĆ£new media.ŌĆØ
Numbers are big with publishing brands today. From 1105 Media (formerly 101 Communications) to 8020 Publishing, publishers are opting for a number as part of or even in place of a name. WeŌĆÖre no different: the magazine we originally launched to compete with Folio: was called M10 Report and our company name is Red 7 Media.
WhatŌĆÖs the significance of your brand? Many city and regional magazines have taken their telephone area codes as their names, (such as 417 in Missouri). That makes sense, and has an immediate, recognizable significance for their audience. But does 1105 really grab your attention? When we started M10, the first question we always heard was, ŌĆ£WhatŌĆÖs M10?ŌĆØ In a weird way it actually helped, because it started a conversation about who we were and how we were different from Folio:. But donŌĆÖt think we werenŌĆÖt relieved after we bought Folio: and could stop having that same conversation over and over.
After Wasserstein bought out Primedia Business for $385 million in August 2005, the company embarked on a self-described ŌĆ£intense,ŌĆØ months-long decision process for a company name before deciding on ŌĆ£Prism Business Media.ŌĆØ In an e-mail to employees, Primedia Business CEO John French said of the name, ŌĆ£It needs to be MemorableŌĆ"UniqueŌĆ"SustainableŌĆ"PositiveŌĆ"Protectable as a trademark. PrismŌĆölike transmitting or reflecting light, like a ray of light passing through a prism. Prism is a reflection of what we represent within the organization and the industry. . .Carry it positively to the marketplace and avoid the inclination to say ŌĆśwhy didnŌĆÖt we name this or that.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Of course, in December 2006, shortly after PrismŌĆÖs purchase of Penton Media, Prism switched its name to Penton. ŌĆ£If you think about it, Prism is a newly established brand with a brand new name and Penton has been around,ŌĆØ Reed Phillips, managing partner at M&A broker DeSilva & Phillips, told Folio at the time. ŌĆ£For that reason, it made sense to go with that name. Prism doesnŌĆÖt really have any strong recognition yet in the marketplace.ŌĆØ
CEOs and owners fret long and hard over their company names but ultimately itŌĆÖs their products that establish the brand, not the cute corporate name.

I ask myself that question every day!(; lol jk(:
We're hot and cold, fire and water.
I'm loud, you're quiet.
I talk, you listen.
I'm crazy, you're sane, but that's why this works.
You fill in my missing pieces and I complete you.
I guess that's why, despite the questions and challenges, I still believe in us and I still believe in this.
And as long as we have each other, I think we'll be alright. ♥

Having made my peace with the idea that we all find our specialness and difference at the right time and in the right place, this winter I have felt myself falling down the rabbit hole, or am I traveling through the looking glass? One of my children, who has always been not quite like other children in some intangible way, seems now to be poised on the edge of something more categorizable. Without an expert's analysis, we don't yet know exactly what the name of her issue or issues may be, but it's becoming clear that there will be a name attached, and soon. While I certainly have enough perspective to see that we are lucky to be dealing with issues that are hardly life-threatening, there's something about this discovery that raises a conflicting, dizzying whirl of emotions. And I suspect that my feelings about difference are at the heart of this storm, which sometimes threatens to swallow me up.
When a child or person is diagnosed with something, be it a learning disorder or a psychological condition of some kind, they become "other." Certainly, in recent years people have become much more accepting of this kind of otherness: we don't stone our mentally ill to death, hang them as witches, or even--as in more recent memory--lock them up in institutions and try our hardest to forget they exist. But however tolerant and understanding we as a society may have become, there's simply no getting around the idea that a person who's been diagnosed with one of these problems is still, well, different.

The air conditioner in the room was "unusually" very loud every time it came on...woke me up throughout the night. I should have been smarter and just ran the fan, but instead, keeping the room cooler kept me up most of the night...

The Inn at Glen Alpine was our first experience with staying at a Bed and Breakfast. It was such a great time we will be returning soon, hopefully. We will also be trying other bed and breakfasts on our travels. XYZ was so friendly and had great conversations. Her lovely puppy was so sweet my husband and I wanted to take her home. She will also be the best inn keeper to us!

We arrived and was greeted by a friendly staff member. The stairs to the room (outside) were very old, and one step was broken underneath the carpet-I almost fell several times. My husband and I literally had to ram ourselves into the door to get it open once we reached our room. To the point that if we pushed any harder the glass window for the room would have broken.
Okay 6.0

The staff was pleasant. The location was convenient, though there is a lot of road construction happening at the moment.
It appeared to me a lot of effort has been put into updating the public spaces, but not in the rooms. For a one or two night stay, you do not spend your time in the public spaces.For a one night stay it was bearable. BUT the bed was lumpy, pillows horrible, the bedspread in my non-smoking room had a giant cigarette burn right at the head of the bed, carpet worn and though possibly clean did not look so. The tub, obviously older -- say from the 60s or 70s, would be great for a bath, but had safety treads only in the front half for showering...as I entered from the back I very nearly fell...no hand rail either. Entering from the front was not an option as the toilet was too close to do so. When I returned from breakfast my door key would not work....walk back to the front desk, reprogram key, walk back to room...door key still...
Okay 5.0

We were only there for 1 night, but the staff was very friendly, and very informative. They answered all of my questions without me asking. (like where the elevator was, where the pool was, what time it closed, what time breakfast was etc...)
There was nothing I did not like about the hotel, but I did go grab something for my family to eat while my kids were in the pool and I thought that the area seemed a little run down and not well lit. I think that might have been scary for some women.I think the hotel itself was great I wish I had been able to stay longer. My daughter does too. She loved the pool. Everything was very clean and comfortable.

Check out this awesome SPIN Earth review of our show at Oakland's Fox Theater! http://tinyurl.com/ktlkut
just changed the name of our acct to xxofMontrealxx, cause Obama said to,and it's the least we can do for him.
Ian gave his best effort, and he came super close, but no wall Of fame this time. Next time though!!!
today was one of those days, never got further than the mailbox, it was still quite significant, got to watch my friend, on a web cam, attempt to eat a 4 1/2 lb steak at some weird little restaurant in Texas, the cleveland indians traded our best pitcher to the phillies, now i'm working on a remix for the band "fools gold".
i was also invited to a pool party by one of my fave people in the galaxy, janelle monae, so i'm not sweating it either.
reading American Pastoral by Philip Roth. he's my new fave author. well, i've only read Portnoy's Complaint, but…i'm kinda in love.
i think i'm freakin on this book cause I can identify with the central figure's struggles. maybe not identify in the present moment, but i can "project identify" with his struggle, being the father of a four year old girl, the story is about a man who raises a daughter that grows up to become totally incomprehensibly different from him. he loves her madly, but can't figure out what he did, during her upbringing, to "warp" her so much. i think it is fascinating, how one generation can be so completely different,ideologically, from the one before it. i am sort of terrified that it is the natural order of things for all children to think their parent's generation is completely backwards and semi-evil. i don't wanna be viewed that way by alabee. i also don't wanna be this nebulous figure that she can't relate to, or really love, like one loves their friends. so many people have completely awkward relationships with their parents. i spend a lot of time thinking about parental/child dynamics. nina has a cousin who was best friends with his father, they would take vacations together and get wasted and talk and talk for hours. why is that so rare? maybe because so many parent's don't really respect their children as equals, they view them as novelties, art projects, status symbols, obligations…there is always an invisible partition of awkwardness between, no flow. i just hope it's not a part of the great design and unavoidable. we'll see.
Omg, he has to also eat a salad, dinner roll and a baked potato!!! Along with 4 1/2 lb steak! In one hour! Go Ian!!!
If he can eat it all, his meal
Is free and he gets to put his photo on the wall of fame, if not, he has 2 pay 72$!!!

oh yeah, my new blog is called the violence of handcrafted dolls
just returned from a wildly eventful and fantastic trip to california. the fox theater in oakland is just a bomb, yes a bomb,and a family of grenades, and all things that explode and shine in precious metal colors, like olympic gold? yes, like that. it was sweet plus cool to play in the u.s.a. again, we even got a little,awkwardly, patriotic for a moment there, i always feel so insecure talking to a group of people, situated in front of me, like an organized group of friendly participants, cause they are, and i'm one with them, but i'm the one with the loud voice amplifying device that, ostensibly, has/had something to express, something that can be articulated, something like, a rotary vision. after the hollywood bowl show, we were sitting in our hotel room, at the best western hollywood hills, if u must know,and there was a strange deodorant stick for the face, i couldn't understand it, do people really have problems with stinky faces? not bad breath, but bad face? yes, they do. now it's official! janelle was there too, her face was not stinky at all, ricky slept in a breath mask so…it's possible that he was the culprit!
my friends, dan and ian, are on a road trip right now, crossing the southern portion of this country, working their way back to athens. they stopped at the grand canyon. i told dan it had been dug out by slave dinosaurs. but that was just back in the day.

With the departure of Jameel Sewell, Virginia's starting quarterback job is wide open, and Peter Lalich is determined to show that the job should be his. Lalich is battling fifth year senior Scott Deke for the spot this spring, and hopes to prove that he is worthy of being the starter.
As a freshman, Lalich appeared in eight games for Al Groh, throwing two touchdown passes and one interception. He saw significant playing time in the early part of 2007, and got quality game experience.
Lalich's teammates have confidence in the rising sophomore, who is making the most of spring workouts. Groh is taking all 15 workouts to size up which quarterback has the best shot.
Click on the above video link to hear Lalich's teammates talk about his progression.

Reports are coming in that the General is considering selling its medium truck operations to Isuzu. This news is totally unconfirmed by both parties, though Isuzu says it would be more than willing to listen if GM felt the desire to talk.
All of this comes shortly after Navistar chose not to follow through on its non-binding agreement to purchase the commercial truck unit from General Motors after seeing what's been happening with the U.S. economy and gas prices. After that deal went sour, GM said that it would continue looking for options, so this particular piece of the rumormill pie is anything but surprising. We contacted GM to see if the automaker had anything to say regarding the hubbub, and, as expected, it's staying tight-lipped for the time being. An Isuzu tie-up makes some sense, as the two truck makers have had dealings together in the past, most notably in the design of GM's current mid-sized trucks, the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon.

Staunton said it's been ready since Sunday to tackle Monday's wintry weather.
About 35 city workers were out on the Queen City streets Monday- driving salt spreaders and plow trucks while mechanics also were standing by.
While workers with the Department of Public Works are out to help residents-- they also ask you to help them.
"The main thing we ask people when the snow starts coming down is if you don't have to drive, please don't," said Staunton's Director of Public Works, Tom Sliwoski. "Give the plows plenty of room so the men can work. The tucks cannot stop on a dime so just be watching out for snow plows and snow removal equipment."
Sliwoski expects crews to be out working on the city streets into the night.

Demo of Beat It composed using only Michael Jackson's voice
As Jackson couldn't fluently play any instruments, he would sing and beatbox out how he wanted his songs to sound by himself on tape, layering the vocals, harmonies and rhythm before having instrumentalists come in to complete the songs.
One of his engineers Robmix on how Jackson worked: "One morning MJ came in with a new song he had written overnight. We called in a guitar player, and Michael sang every note of every chord to him. "here's the first chord first note, second note, third note. Here's the second chord first note, second note, third note", etc., etc. We then witnessed him giving the most heartfelt and profound vocal performance, live in the control room through an SM57. He would sing us an entire string arrangement, every part. Steve Porcaro once told me he witnessed MJ doing that with the string section in the room. Had it all in his head, harmony and everything. Not just little eight bar loop ideas. he would actually sing the entire arrangement into a micro-cassette recorder complete with stops and fills."

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is an interesting book, and crammed with all sorts of historical facts. It is indeed an ingenious idea, to research history from the perspective of the house, and he goes from one subject to the other with ease and fluidity.
I like his easy way of writing, and his gentle humour. Yet, for me, I found that some of the links to be a bit tenuous at best, and he seemed to ramble on a bit. Still, an interesting book.
The sections on the kitchen, the dining room, the nursery and the last paragraph were the ones that were most fascinating.
I loved the history behind ordinary things and the new perspective it provided. I know a lot of people might find these details tedious, but I thought this book was awesome. It's a storybook more than a history textbook. I listened to this as an audiobook and I really liked the narrator.
An excellent and fascinating read. Bryson at his best.
This book has forever cemented Bill Brysons place on my book shelves. He is a wonderful story teller and extremely good at breaking down difficult topics into easily understandable language.
This book is based on the history of the home and consists of fascinating tidbits of history based around a wide array of, sometimes loosely, topics about the home.
I think Bill Bryson could write a book titled 'Stuff I found Interesting and Would like to Share with You' and I would find it fascinating.
"At Home" is baggy, loose-jointed and genial. It moves along at a vigorously restless pace, with the energy of a Labrador retriever off the leash, racing up to each person it encounters, pawing and sniffing and barking at every fragrant thing, plunging into icy waters only to dash off again, invigorated. You do, somehow, maintain forward momentum and eventually get to the end. Bryson is fascinated by everything, and his curiosity is infectious.
In a sense, Bryson's book is a history of "getting comfortable slowly," and he notes that flushing toilets were the most popular feature at theCrystal Palace exhibition in 1851. Informative, readable and great fun.
Bryson is certainly famous enough to have got away with a far less bulging compendium. Instead, on our behalf, he's been through those hundreds of books (508 according to the bibliography) some of which even the most assiduous readers among us might never have got around to: Jacques Gelis's History of Childbirth: Fertility, Pregnancy and Birth in Early Modern Europe, say, or John A Templer's The Staircase: Studies of Hazards, Falls and Safer Designs. He's then extracted their most arresting material and turned the result into a book that, for all its winning randomness, is not just hugely readable but a genuine page-turner — mainly because you can't wait to see what you'll find out next.
In demonstrating how everything we take for granted, from comfortable furniture to smoke-free air, went from unimaginable luxury to humdrum routine, Bryson shows us how odd and improbable our own lives really are.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0767919386, Hardcover)Amazon Best Books of the Month, October 2010: Bill Bryson (A Short History of Nearly Everything) turns his attention from science to society in his authoritative history of domesticity, At Home: A Short History of Private Life. While walking through his own home, a former Church of England rectory built in the 19th century, Bryson reconstructs the fascinating history of the household, room by room. With waggish humor and a knack for unearthing the extraordinary stories behind the seemingly commonplace, he examines how everyday items--things like ice, cookbooks, glass windows, and salt and pepper--transformed the way people lived, and how houses evolved around these new commodities. "Houses are really quite odd things," Bryson writes, and, luckily for us, he is a writer who thrives on oddities. He gracefully draws connections between an eclectic array of events that have affected home life, covering everything from the relationship between cholera outbreaks and modern landscaping, to toxic makeup, highly flammable hoopskirts, and other unexpected hazards of fashion. Fans of Bryson's travel writing will find plenty to love here; his keen eye for detail and delightfully wry wit emerge in the most unlikely places, making At Home an engrossing journey through history, without ever leaving the house. --Lynette Mong

Bryson (A Short History of Nearly Everything) takes readers on a tour of his house, a rural English parsonage, showing how each room has figured in the evolution of private life.

I can see how having a discussion without staff input might lead to controversy and interesting theories, but most of them are not true. I've been following this thread since it appeared. I'm not authorized to give any official responses and I'm not aware what the official response would be, but I've done what I can to draw attention to this problem in management level.

in my opinion the biggest problem is, that there are too many items on every plattform and i can´t get visable – only with new items for some days…
Do you think:
a) buyer comes to Envato with 20$ in pocket thinking where could i spend my money? Oh let's buy something from front page.
b) buyer comes to Envato with need of something specific and uses search to find it.
Personal brand and recognizability is important, so does follower base, but most important is quality, targeted items, with optimized previews and descriptions so that it's easy to find them.

I only know of placdarms who included the audio for one of his files shortly before it got forbidden.
In fact I did it shortly AFTER the license change. I made an agreement with the author that I will be purchasing extended license + Mix the audio with my own sound FX so that no one could use it outside of my project and he was OK with that.

It's a requirement that every project file has to come with included Help File and we review them to make sure they do. Help files mostly deal with project structure and explain where you can change those things. Most projects are set up in a way that you only need to drop in your logo/footage, edit text end you're done. However you would still need to have the basic understanding of importing assets, draging/dropping them, rendering the final output etc. If this is your very first time with After Effects you might need to get some basic training to understand the project panel, timeline and other project windows.
I would suggest that you give it a try and in case included help file doesn't cover some basic software usage aspects then check this free beginners course: http://cgi.tutsplus.com/series/welcome-to-after-effects--ae-28707

Hello guys , I wanted to know if Videohive accepts After effects CC projects ? Thank you !
Not at the moment. It should happen sometime soon. Not sure if there will be any big announcement when that happens, but you can keep an eye on that attribution window on the submission page where software versions are specified. When you see CC in there you will know that the day has come. So far some have mistaken the old AE 7.0 as new CC because CC comes after CS6, but i guess those are guys that hasn't been around long enough to experience CS4, CS3, AE 7 and older versions.
There is not such thing as hard-rejection and a very hard rejection. There are 3 possible choices – Approve, soft-reject or hard-reject. If file is on the edge one reviewer might see it's potential and put it on the side of the edge where soft-rejection lies and another reviewer see it on the other side. There are quality standards that reviewers follow, but they are not and can't be lined out till the smallest detail that applies uniquely to every situation. So some parts are left to personal decision which might differ slightly.
I just read your rejection message and I believe it's very encouraging and even explains what to do if you want to keep improving this file. So don't get upset. Work until you've made the best you can and give it another try.
Different licenses give you permission for different uses of the same file. Similar to different payment plans for your mobile gives you a different amount of free minutes or texts, but none of them affects the screen size or battery life of your phone.

Which utilities will survive (or even thrive)
Those utilities that do understand the difference, and work toward preserving those customers where margin exists, are likely to survive, perhaps thrive, the threat of a death spiral in their franchise. But during this process, there will also be increasing pressure to accept the true cost to serve for their customers, likely driven by the regulators.
Does Google appreciate this? It remains to be seen. Utilities will be forced to move from class level pricing to individual pricing. It is a truer and more accurate cost to serve (though some cross-subsidy is likely to continue). Thus, the ability of new entrants to cherry-pick customers will evaporate. Whoever gets there first wins.
Smart meter usage profiles are already in place, and it is very easy for the regulators to establish an exact cost to serve per home versus the current model where we use "settlement shapes" which are an average load shape for all customers. If a death spiral seems to be in the offing, regulators will likely accept a utility movement to employ individual cost to serve methods versus the current use of averages.
I doubt Google is ready for that or appreciates the potential threat this poses to the Nest business case.
Why time-of-use pricing won't help Google
Time of use (TOU) pricing (upon which many programmable thermostats build their business case) won't resolve the matter, either. Google may know that the current market acceptance of TOU is low. But they need to realize that it will always be low. Active TOU participation rarely exceeds 5% to 10%, and many of these active participants are largely "free riders" -- those who already use little energy on peak.
The utilities know this, but the regulators have not quite caught on. Most regulatory agencies and evaluation teams have a staff of well-trained economists, not marketers. While an economist may trust the rationality of the consumer, a marketer knows that non-price options generally win the day when commodities are comparably priced. Indeed, the TOU pilots where we see the greatest participation are those that beef up on non-price factors, such as TV advertising, radio, etc. (e.g., Flex Alert during California pricing pilots, etc.).
Google's continued avoidance of utility partnerships might suggest that they intend to push TOU-based transactive signals for NEST to receive. At the end of the day, most consumers are unlikely to respond to these prices on their own, without a third party doing it for them. And the value of virtual storage can only be achieved via tightly linked, and optimized, end use dispatching in a dynamic fashion.
But Google may be thinking along these (TOU) lines. What better way to unhinge the utility from their customer? However Google may be leaving value on the table by under-appreciating local variation and the value of virtual storage. The maximum cost savings is achieved by optimal arbitraging of end uses directly versus hoping for a customer response to a transactive signal. In the end, the response will be automated by third parties, leaving consumers to live their lives without worrying about saving pennies each day by watching an hourly TOU signal.
Enter locational targeting
Enter locational targeting and locational cost-effectiveness. In late 2013, California began calling for more attention to the specific locations where EE, DR, solar and smart grid activity might yield a more significant efficiency bang for the buck. The regulators are currently determining how utilities should be required to respond to this -- I get questions about it every month.
This much is clear. We know that the cost to serve a home can often change dramatically if we pick it up and move it over a few streets. We know that local congestion on the network will spike local LMPs (locational marginal prices). What Google does not yet seem to appreciate is that this financial impact, due to location, can alter margins up to 10 fold, and be larger than the value of the commodity cost alone.
I suspect that the Nest business models are based on spot market energy and capacity credits in the range of $80 per KW-yr. What Google probably doesn't know is that there are very specific locations where the total avoided costs can be 2X to 10X larger than their averaged value assumptions.
Did Google overpay? By a bunch?
Or, maybe they do know this, and that is why they paid about $3,000 per customer for Nest. We often see the average avoided cost savings to be in this range, when we value the savings from all of the utility value buckets jointly (e.g., supply, transmission, distribution, ancillary services, voltage, losses, asset deferral, etc.). The normal range for the commodity margin of a utility customer is loosely $100 per year (residential) or perhaps $700 NPV. Still way less than $3,000. We only see $3,000+ valuations where we identify high cost to serve customers in specific locations. Then, the value can climb quite a bit higher than $3,000.
All of this assumes the current price volatility and grid costs persist. And they will until 20% of the load participates in virtual storage. But my guess is that Google is not valuing the utility cost savings or margin, but rather the value-added service markets and appliance offerings that can come after a Nest sale. In this sense, Google gets a great deal from the Nest purchase, and Nest has short-changed their investors. Most utilities don't want to be in the value added services side of the business. But neither does Google see the money that they are leaving on the table by ignoring the large value to the utility from specifically targeted customers.
But what about high value customers
You might think that more of these high value customers just give Nest and Google more upside. Right? Wrong.
We have performed analyses which show after a certain number of MWs of smart grid savings for a specific minimum number of hours per year, these smart grid "resources" can become the price setter in the market, as opposed to the iron in the ground.
If those resources were to be controlled by an unscrupulous third-party vendor, using Enron-like gaming tactics (pre-cooling, pre-heating, charging EV in the morning), the resource could be used to drive prices up in the morning to make a better business cases for reducing load during afternoon peaking hours -- in effect gaming the utility's DR incentives.
Many regulators have already decided that EV charging does not require utility level oversight. It's not a stretch to believe they won't anticipate the need to regulate NEST and other Google services. To mitigate that risk, utilities can ask to retain control or secure sufficient MWs of DR behind their own customer meters to mitigate the potential gaming.
The key point: There is a set of ideal market segments one would ideally pursue to insure competitive sustainability. Whoever secures these groups first, especially in specific locations, stands to gain the most by offering more money, value, and innovation. We have conducted several modeling projects where a utility can realistically flatten the load curve, and reduce marginal prices significantly, using only 20% of the customers.
So, it is the best 20% that will win the day, in the long run. All other contenders will be priced out of the markets. Prices will drop, and business models will be rendered moot for many current technologies.
The importance of tapping avoided cost to serve
Sure, glitzy consumer innovations may secure market share in small niches, but the ones that tap into the true utility avoided cost to serve will stand to benefit dramatically from the very large locational differences from street to street, town to town.
Will it be Google or others that secure demand reductions in the $20 to $40 per KW-yr range? Where they can target the right customers in the right locations, year to year, they do stand to dictate the market. And in this scenario, if I only have to acquire 20% of the right customers to set the price in the market, paying $3,000 per customer is a bargain basement price. But to capture this value, Google will need to grow their utility analytics quite a bit, assure continued ISO cooperation, and attempt a more conciliatory relationship with both utilities and state regulators to achieve this. It is clearly possible. But it is far from inevitable.
And what about grid reliability
Google may not understand the significance of grid reliability. A recent Wall Street Journal report cites that the loss of 10 or so key substations would bring down the grid for month. Disaster ensues. Regulators cannot allow this. The ISOs have sensed this for some time, increasingly investigating how to forecast local loads for use in 10 to 20 day LMP forecasts. All they have today are next day LMPs.
But the rapid growth of large grid scale solar, wind and storage are placing increasing strains on system operators (e.g. Texas, California) to the point where I think ISOs may be worried about the long run reliability of the grid. The way to address this is to migrate from city-wide load forecasting (current state) to local acre-level forecasting. And the way to quantify this, ironically, is to use a combination of econometric modeling and Google Earth-style satellite imagery.
When we do this, we can identify very specific locations where smart grid resources yield the biggest bang for the buck. Moreover, we can forecast local LMPs by bus accurately for 10 to 20 years, inclusive of large scale solar, wind or storage. So the utility, the ISO, and third parties like Google could know exactly where the placement of micro resources returns the biggest bang for the buck. In essence, the ability to improve reliability (and uncover large commodity savings) at a fraction of the current projected costs does exist today, and we will be seeing a lot of it in the months ahead.
To the best tools go the spoils
There is a race to dominate this market. The winners will have a sophisticated set of tools. Some tools will use advanced analytics to value marginal customers instead of average customers, and do it locationally. Some tools will target and secure the optimal set of market segments that will survive the coming competition.
Has Google thought through these two issues fully? I don't see much evidence for it. Do they care? They should. If they don't, someone will and they'll lose the bigger market opportunity. Should they partner with utilities or ignore them? Ignore the utilities, and Google potentially loses out on value buckets that might be greater than what one gets from value-added services and gadgets alone. Gadgets are replicable. Being first to market, to the right segments, year by year, wins the day, in my opinion. And so, let the race begin.
