Tankless Water Heaters for a New Jersey HomeThis entry was posted in Bathrooms, Remodeling Industry Information and tagged energy efficient, hot water on demand, Tankless water heater on .
A tankless water heater or also known as instantaneous water heaters. They have the ability to provide hot water only when the user needs it. When the hot water is turned on cold water flows through a pipe and into the unit in which it is then heated. This process can save money due to the fact that it not sitting in a unit and using up energy to keep the water hot. This process can save a homeowner hundreds of dollars in energy costs. Since the hot water is being made on demand it can be tricky to provide solid water pressure if more then one appliance is running at the same time. For example, if someone is taking a hot shower with the dishwasher running the water will then be distributed between the two. That is hot water on demand. Continue reading

Delays are a Part of Remodeling
This is a guest blog done by Kathi Fleck of LoneStar Property Solutions. You can read an interview she had previously done with Design Build Pros here.
"The most important aspect for remodeling your home is to have the look and feel that works best for you." – Kathi Fleck, Renovate, Remodel… Relax!
Don't let project delays get you down! Many of them aren't ever going to be your fault or at the fault of the contractor, either. Just be prepared for them. Here are 7 potential delays that are out of a homeowner's control.
How Did Design Build Pros Begin?This entry was posted in Remodeling Industry Information and tagged Andrew Parsons, Design Build Pros, home remodeling, Jason Parsons, Neil Parsons, project design on .
Being in the remodeling industry in several different capacities over many years, I have witnessed many mistakes that contractors made and the poor decisions that homeowners made.
With the intent to make remodeling projects more professional and pleasant for all those involved, we created Design Build Pros. Our unique, award-winning project design and development process offers homeowners a smarter approach to home remodeling. We prepare our clients with design options, accurate budgets, detailed work scope, scheduling, and product selections. From there, we discuss the next step, which is how to get the project built. A homeowner can choose to build themselves (DIY), GC or manage the project themselves, hire their own contractor, or work with our recommended remodeler from the DBP Preferred Network.

Do You Know Neil ParsonsThis entry was posted in Remodeling Industry Information and tagged Clark, construction, Design Build Pros, Neil Parsons, New Jersey, remodeler on .
In the category of "It's a small world"
Last week a Clark, New Jersey homeowner called a remodeler about getting some work done. The woman asked, "Do you know Neil Parsons?" The 25 year old remodeler answered, "Yes, I do!" She explained that Parsons Construction did work on her home almost 30 years ago.
The moral of the story: In business it is important to build a brand. Be memorable, leave an impression, and hopefully, most often, it's a good impression. Continue reading

How to Love Your Home Again With a Remodel
This is a guest blog done by Kathi Fleck of LoneStar Property Solutions. You can read an interview she had previously done with Design Build Pros here.
"The most important aspect for remodeling your home is to have the look and feel that works best for you." – Kathi Fleck, Renovate, Remodel… Relax!
One of the major reasons a homeowner wants to remodel their home is to find new ways to love it again. But with this sort of commitment, there are sometimes doubts that may arise that make people hold off on going forward. Here are some possible answers to four common questions that homeowners ask their remodeler before getting started.
Don't Put Off Home RepairsThis entry was posted in Home and Family Lifestyle, Remodeling Industry Information and tagged design, Kathi Fleck, LoneStar Property Solutions, repairs, water damage on .
Don't Put Off Home Repairs
This is a guest blog done by Kathi Fleck of LoneStar Property Solutions. You can read an interview she had previously done with Design Build Pros here.
"It is most important to take care of repair items as they occur, whether inside your home or on the exterior. I regularly see homes needing repair in addition to the desired updates the homeowner requests." – Kathi Fleck
There is nothing that holds up a project like unexpected repairs. Even if the repairs were known about, it's completely possible for homeowners to put off maintenance tasks until a major project is being done. When going into a remodeling project, it's usually fairly obvious if maintenance has been deferred or not. If it's been put off for too long, the overall cost of the project the homeowner wants to do becomes greatly increased by the necessary repairs that will need to be done along with it.
A $3,000 Bathroom RemodelThis entry was posted in Bathrooms, Remodeling Industry Information and tagged bathroom makeover, bathroom remodel, diy, frameless shower glass, Zillow on .
DISCLAIMER: This article, nor I, have the answer to what A $3,000 Bathroom Remodel is or exactly would include. Read my rant below to understand the basis for this article's title.
A homeowner can choose to have almost any budget, high or low for a project. The question is then, "What do you get for that particular budget?" The factors are many, such as DIY (do it yourself) or hire a professional. Check out our informative article about Who Will Build Your Remodeling Project. The extent of the work scope is also a major factor. For instance, in a bathroom remodel the project may call for a complete demolition and gut of the walls and floor. Doing this allows for checking the in-wall plumbing connections and electrical wiring then updating as needed. Plus, any rotted wood or mold can be addressed. New insulation and fresh, moisture resistant drywall and cement board can be installed. Some may opt to forgo these steps and tasks and simply do a bathroom makeover where the fixtures and tile are replaced and the wall components listed prior remain. Continue reading
Unclogging Your SinkThis entry was posted in Home and Family Lifestyle, Remodeling Industry Information and tagged Design Build Pros, drain, Fort Wayne, fresheners, fruit peels, houzz, indiana, Organic Gurl'z Gardens, sink, unclogging on .
Hi There, Fellow Gardeners!
This is Becca.
Today, Organic Gurlz Gardens of Fort Wayne, Indiana will be sharing information on Unclogging Your Sink.
Cleaning out a congested drain can be an unwanted hassle – and costly. We at Organic Gurlz Gardens have a few tips for unclogging the sink pipes.
One of the most obvious ways to prevent clogging is to avoid placing hair or large items down the drain. Washing down the sink with hot water also aids in keeping the drain from obstacles.

inspired by canada's raw, rich land
Connecting people to place through contemporary Canadian cuisine, Canoe crafts inspired dishes reflective of our country's diverse landscape, history and culture. Our chefs work closely with farmers and suppliers to source the finest ingredients from across the nation.
With over 20 years of culinary history, Canoe continues to challenge creative boundaries in the spirit of celebrating Canada and its distinct provinces.
Executive Chef – John Horne
Since being appointed Chef of Canoe in 2010, John Horne has incorporated his passion for refined flavours, seasonal ingredients and explosive presentation with his love of Canadian cuisine. After graduating from the Niagara College Culinary Management program, Chef John worked at Almeida in London, England under the tutelage of Chef Ian Wood for two years.
With experience at Michelin-starred restaurants such as L'Escargot, The Square and the Orrery under his belt, John honed his classic French techniques for seven years as the Senior Sous Chef of Auberge du Pommier, one of Toronto's most celebrated French restaurants. With his love of learning always in gear, Chef John returned to Europe to work at Crillon le Brave.
Respected for his dedication to Canadian cuisine, he has collaborated with those who share his philosophy – Martin Picard (Au Pied de Cochon), Jeremy Charles (Raymonds) and Société-Orignal (foraging specialist). In 2011, John was named the Nine of Dine winner at the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo. In 2012, he was the only chef from outside of Montréal asked to participate in the international Omnivore World Tour to represent Canadian "Young Cuisine" for the first event held in Canada.
Chef John proved his culinary prowess, taking home the gold award at the prestigious 2014 Gold Medal Plates competition after going head-to-head with nine of Toronto's finest culinary masters at the prestigious culinary event.
At Canoe, Chef John is able to take his cooking to the next level as he is constantly inspired by quality Canadian ingredients, a revelation that came as a result of his travels abroad.
Chef de Cuisine – Coulson Armstrong
After studying culinary management at Humber College, Coulson Armstrong landed the job of Chef de Partie at Auberge du Pommier, where he was promoted to Sous Chef within two years. Training under Executive Chefs Jason Bangerter, Anthony Walsh, and Marc St. Jacques, Chef Coulson perfected his knowledge of French and Canadian culinary techniques, and furthered his abilities in artistic plating and presentation.
In 2012, Chef Coulson was instrumental in supporting Chef Marc on the road to his Gold Medal Plates victory.
In 2013, Chef Coulson was promoted to Senior Sous Chef at Canoe, working under Executive Chef John Horne, where he excelled in creating locally inspired and visually unique dishes. In early 2014, Chef Coulson received Top 30 Under 30 honours by The Ontario Hostelry Institute. Later that year, he found himself back at the prestigious Gold Medal Plates competition, where he helped Chef John win the regional championship.
As a proud fifth generation Canadian, Chef Coulson is excited to bring his deep passion for regional Canadian cooking to Canoe.

U really cant compare it to fate zero because its really a different genera. Its a cute comedy anime with some occasional great action. Its a hybrid.

If this is your first time watching anime from the fate universe, don't expect it to be anything like fate/zero or fate/stay night as this is different from them. Interesting to see Illya as protagonist. Season 2 should be interesting.
like a typical comedic magical girl show, but has a suprising twist.At first it was looking like a typical magical show with just Fate characters added to the mix. However, later in the series the action scenes actually got me interested to finish through.

How exactly does one kickstart a Battlemech?
Subject: General Tech | July 29, 2015 - 05:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gaming, Mechwarrior, battletech
BattleTech is coming back baby! Harebrained Schemes who have successfully rebooted the Shadowrun RPG system on PC and who are in the final steps of releasing the third game in that world have just announced plans to start a new Kickstarter campaign. This time it will be a trip to the world of Battletech, the details are slim but we can expect to see both the larger view of the Battletech galaxy and the Houses that populate it as well as mech management and combat. From what Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN were told this will be turn-based, not the FPS style of the Mechwarrior series of old. No matter, this news is still exciting so keep your eyes peeled for more information.
"Harebrained Schemes is pleased to announce their return to Kickstarter this Fall to partner with backers in co-funding the creation of BATTLETECH. Jordan Weisman, the creator of BattleTech and MechWarrior, is back with the first turn-based BattleTech game for PC in over two decades."

Tagged: gaming, elder scrolls, skywind, skyblivion
While Morrowind is obviously superior to Oblivion there are those who would rather explore Cyrodiil in the middle of Tamriel. Either way, it will be more pleasant to explore your old hunting grounds with the improvements to the engine made in Skyrim. Not only are we now waiting on the brilliant modders behind Skywind to wrap up now the same group are also getting tantalizingly close to wrapping up Skyblivion. If you don't have both games in your Steam inventory yet you should keep an eye out for deals. There is a second trailer you can watch over at Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN.
"Recent videos show many, many minutes of progress on Skyblivion, trotting around the province of Cyrodiil, leaping into Oblivion gates, and pottering about the Shivering Isles. It looks a lot like Oblivion but in Skyrim, which is sort of the goal of the whole thing. Skyblivion!"

It looks like Total War:Warhammer will be teasing us with animations of some of the units we will see in the new game, starting with the Demigryph a smaller and ride-able version of that worlds Griffons, which you do not want to annoy. You can expect a number of trailers as the game gets closer to release; this Friday you can expect to see another video showing the Demigryph in game. The Empire does certainly have some nice troops which will be fun to learn about but like Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN it is the greenskin troop movies I am looking forward to seeing.
"There's a more pressing matter though. Did Games Workshop tell Creative Assembly that the Warhammer Fantasy world would be dead before Total War: Warhammer was released? It seems unlikely that the game has been planned as a eulogy of sorts but that would be a beautiful thing."

Julian Gollop was involved in the original X-COM and recently completed a successful Kickstarter for Chaos Reborn, a single and multiplayer turn-based games of wizards warring for supremacy. It is now available for both Windows and Linux on Steam Early access and you can visit the official site of you are interested in picking up extras on top of the game itself. One of the more interesting features is the in game gold, which is earned while playing single player but is spent on upgrades for multiplayer and is not available for purchase outside of the game. There will be no pay to win, instead it is a play to win model that those familiar with multiplayer FPS games such as Battlefield are familiar with. If that style of game holds any attraction to you and you loved X-COM then head to Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN for a look.
"What the singleplayer 'Realms' mode does, at least in this earliest, unfinished incarnation, is both encourage you to experiment with different gear in order to gain an edge over tougher or specialised enemy, and give you a way to get hold of new gear without having to repeatedly brave (or beat) multiplayer opponents."

Logitech Focuses in on Gaming
Logitech has been around seemingly forever. The Swiss based company is ubiquitous in the peripherals market, providing products ranging from keyboards and mice, to speakers and headsets. There is not much that the company does not offer when it comes to PC peripherals. Their 3 button mice back in the day were considered cutting edge that also happened to be semi-programmable. Since that time we have seen them go from ball mice, to optical mice, to the latest laser based products that offer a tremendous amount of precision.
Gaming has become one of the bigger movers for Logitech, and they have revamped their entire lineup as well as added a few new products to hopefully cash in on the popularity of modern gaming. To further address this market Logitech has designed and marketed a new batch of gaming headsets. These promise to be moderately priced, but high quality products that bear the Logitech name. We go from the very basic up to the top 7.1 wireless products. Originally these covered a pretty significant price range, but lately the discounts have been extremely deep. The lowest end gaming headset is at $40US while the 7.1 wireless model comes in around $90 US.
I am looking at two models today that span the lowest end to the 2nd highest. The first headset is the G230 analog set. The second is the G35 wired 7.1 USB with Dolby Headphone technology. I have never been a fan of wireless headphones, but the G35 should be a fairly good approximation of the performance of that part.
My goal is to look at these two wired units and see what Logitech can offer at these two very affordable price points.
Introduction and Test Hardware
The PC gaming world has become divided by two distinct types of games: those that were designed and programmed specifically for the PC, and console ports. Unfortunately for PC gamers it seems that far too many titles are simply ported over (or at least optimized for consoles first) these days, and while PC users can usually enjoy higher detail levels and unlocked frame rates there is now the issue of processor core-count to consider. This may seem artificial, but in recent months quite a few games have been released that require at least a quad-core CPU to even run (without modifying the game).
One possible explanation for this is current console hardware: PS4 and Xbox One systems are based on multi-core AMD APUs (the 8-core AMD "Jaguar"). While a quad-core (or higher) processor might not be techincally required to run current games on PCs, the fact that these exist on consoles might help to explain quad-core CPU as a minimum spec. This trend could simply be the result of current x86 console hardware, as developement of console versions of games is often prioritized (and porting has become common for development of PC versions of games). So it is that popular dual-core processors like the $69 Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition (G3258) are suddenly less viable for a future-proofed gaming build. While hacking these games might make dual-core CPUs work, and might be the only way to get such a game to even load as the CPU is checked at launch, this is obviously far from ideal.
Is this much CPU really necessary?
Rather than rail against this quad-core trend and question its necessity, I decided instead to see just how much of a difference the processor alone might make with some game benchmarks. This quickly escalated into more and more system configurations as I accumulated parts, eventually arriving at 36 different configurations at various price points. Yeah, I said 36. (Remember that Budget Gaming Shootout article from last year? It's bigger than that!) Some of the charts that follow are really long (you've been warned), and there's a lot of information to parse here. I wanted this to be as fair as possible, so there is a theme to the component selection. I started with three processors each (low, mid, and high price) from AMD and Intel, and then three graphics cards (again, low, mid, and high price) from AMD and NVIDIA.
Here's the component rundown with current pricing*:
Processors tested:
- AMD Athlon X4 860K - $74.99
- AMD FX 9590 (with AIO cooler) - $259.99
- Intel Core i3-4130 - $118
- Intel Core i5-4440 - $184.29
- Intel Core i7-4790K - $338.99
Graphics cards tested:
- AMD Radeon R7 260X (ASUS 2GB OC) - $137.24
- AMD Radeon R9 280 (Sapphire Dual-X) - $169.99
- AMD Radeon R9 290X (MSI Lightning) - $399
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (OEM) - $149.99
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (OEM) - $235
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (ASUS STRIX) - $519
*These prices were current as of 6/29/15, and of course fluctuate.

Stories of Mel; a Portal 2 mod of decent length and better pricing
Subject: General Tech | July 1, 2015 - 07:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gaming, Portal 2, Stories of Mel
Stories of Mel is a Portal 2 mod which takes place between the two games, with a length that sounds similar to the original game. There is new music, voice acting and even a redesigned Portal gun all available for free for owners of Portal 2 on Steam. The embedded video below gives you a sense of the ambience you can expect from the game without giving away many hints as to the content. If you already have the Portal games then head over to Steam to pick up the mod, which installs as a separate game and if you don't then you owe it to yourself to pay the ~$30 to pick up both games. Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN has links for Steam as well as the projects homepage if you want to show your thanks.
"Mel brings a new protagonist with a new companion sphere, boasting over 300 new voiced lines, an hour of original music, and 22 levels that its creators say may take anywhere from four to twelve hours to complete depending on how well you think with portals. It looks quite pretty. And it's entirely free (if you own Portal 2, natch), available direct through Steam."

EA showed what they described as in game footage of the new Star Wars: Battlefront which was gorgeous and seems to capture the feel of that universe quite well. Tthe more realistic of us worry that this might be in game footage in the same sense as Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs footage from last year and most of us are just hoping EA doesn't find a way to screw this game up more than they already have. From the video below we can see that first and third person views are supported, flying vehicles have been included and jetpacks will be available. We also learned that Luke can apparently time travel from the future into the past. It is hard not to be excited about this release, one can only hope it does not all end in tears.
HEXUS also has a few more EA videos on their page right here.
"EA revealed new video trailers, footage and information about all its hottest gaming titles at the E3 show yesterday.

Techgage has spent a while in the open world of The Witcher 3 and are ready to share their experiences. The open world is very open, you will find yourself wandering into areas you are not ready for without warning and at 50 hours in the reviewer is still seeing the occasional tutorial pop-up so they are nowhere near finishing. You may find yourself abandoning a quest to do other side quests in order to become powerful enough to survive the encounter with the boss at the end of the quest you originally intended to do. That is the heart and soul of a truly open game, which CD Projekt RED seem to have mastered. Check out their review right here.
"This land is deep in darkness, words do little to describe the hell that has befallen. War, pillaging, oppression, greed, politics and scandals. We are beyond the petty battles of good and evil, for all have monsters living within. With the stench of deceit in the air, what this world needs, is a Witcher."

At last we have a teaser trailer of Fallout 4, which for a nice change does not look mostly like Skyrim using a colour palette from Doom. Also possibly exciting is the hint of several vehicles capable of flight, which could add quite a bit to this game if available in the story or with a mod. The garage shown in the trailer looks to be a home base for the player, albeit one infected with the pernicious crafting system disease if the partially assembled power armour is not simply decoration. Check out the trailer below and then patiently await the release.
On another note, the 10th Fragging Frog VLAN was a huge success with most of the day seeing 60 or more active participants blasting away in a variety of games including Toxikk which is a fun homage to the old style of online FPSes such as Unreal Tournament. You can check out what happened as well as see the winners of the prizes which were generously donated by AMD, Fractal Design, Epic Games and even one of our own members right here in this thread on the Forums.
"Aha, now this is promising. We're clearly looking at the game's post-apocalyptic present-day rather than a flashback, but there's tons of colours there. Paint, clearly, can survive the end of the world, and thank goodness for that."

Dell Venue 8 7000 a Strong Contender in Lightweight Tablet Market
Dell Venue 8 7000 a Strong Contender in Lightweight Tablet MarketBy Don Reisinger
There's Just Something About That DesignOne of the first things to notice about the Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet is its rather interesting design. The device comes with a prominent screen on the front and a thin bezel. Its machined aluminum finish adds a level of character not previously seen in Dell tablets. However, perhaps the most interesting aspect of its design is the extra band at the bottom that houses the device's speakers. Typically, speakers are hidden from view in tablets, but Dell says its design allows for better sound for its slate.
Dell Really Gets the Whole 'Mobility' ThingIt's hard to find fault with the mobility factor built into the Dell Venue 8 7000. The device is just 0.24 inches thin and less than 5 inches wide. It is also 8.5 inches tall, making it one of the smaller devices on the market. Apple's iPad Mini 3, in comparison, is 0.29 inches thick and has a 5.3-inch width, despite having a smaller screen than the Venue 8 7000.
The Screen Has Earned Rave ReviewsThe Dell Venue 8 7000's screen is arguably one of the best reasons to buy the tablet. The screen is an 8.4-inch OLED with a 2,560-by-1,440 resolution that supports 10-point capacitive touch. OLED displays tend to deliver outstanding color accuracy and strong black levels. Judging by the Venue 8 7000's specifications, it delivers on all of that and more.
Dell Provides the First Intel RealSense Depth CameraThe Dell Venue 8 7000 has leveraged Intel technology quite effectively. The device is the first tablet to come with Intel's RealSense Depth Camera, which allows users to snap a photo and then automatically refocus an image by simply tapping on anything in the photo to make it clear. The feature creates a blurring effect in other areas and allows for a wide variety of photo-editing options.
There's an Intel Atom Z3580 CPU InsideSpeaking of Intel, it's important to note that the Dell Venue 8 7000 isn't running an ARM-based processor. Instead, Dell decided to go with the Intel Atom Z3580 with up to a 2.3GHz clock speed. In addition, the tablet has Intel HD graphics. Intel has little market share in the mobile space now, but if its components can find their way into strong tablets, like the Venue, the company might expect better success in the coming months.
It Runs Android 4.4 KitKatAlthough the latest Android version available right now is 5.0 (Lollipop), Dell has decided to go with Android 4.4 KitKat. That's not necessarily an issue. KitKat is a generally strong version of Android, but it's something to keep in mind. It's also worth noting that supporting an older operating system means Android's fragmentation issues, which have subsided over the past year, aren't gone just yet.
Dell Has a Partnership With DropboxDell has a partnership with cloud-based storage company Dropbox to offer cloud storage to customers. So, after users pick up a Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet, they'll receive 20GB of free storage capacity on Dropbox for a period of one year. After that, those who want more storage can get Dropbox Pro, which provides 1TB of storage for $99 per year.
But the Venue 8 7000 Doesn't Ship With Much Onboard StorageSpeaking of storage, the Dell Venue 8 7000 is a little light in that category. The tablet comes with just 16GB of onboard storage, which might not be enough for the average user. However, like other companies, including Microsoft and Amazon, complementing that with online storage is a solid move. Apple, however, sees it differently and offers three storage options to customers. Keep that in mind before choosing between the two slates.
There Is No Mobile Broadband ConnectionThose looking to connect to the Web on the Venue 8 7000 while away from a WiFi connection will be disappointed. Since Dell designed the tablet to be affordable and lightweight, the company didn't include a mobile broadband connection. Several competing products come with cellular connections, however, so Dell may be compelled to make a move in that direction at some point.
Pricing Makes It a WinnerAlthough it has some shortcomings, it's hard to find fault in the Dell Venue 8 7000's price-to-value ratio. The tablet comes with a wide range of outstanding features, including a nice display, a great design and solid cameras. And for all of that, customers can buy the device for $399, or $429 with a case.
Dell over the last few years has tried its luck in the tablet market with tepid results. Consumers have, for the most part, decided that tablets from Samsung and Apple are better options, and Dell is one of the also-rans left to pick up the scraps. But at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month, Dell unveiled the latest model in its Venue tablet series, called the Venue 8 7000. The device garnered critical acclaim at CES and has since received some glowing reviews. The Venue 8 7000 has been tagged as one of the best small, lightweight slates on the market, and it might just be the top competitor to Apple's own iPad Mini. Central to the Venue's popularity thus far has been its outstanding design and high-resolution screen. The device also comes with an attractive starting price point of $399, making it accessible to customers on a budget. Dell has made a significant move in the tablet market with the Venue 8 7000, which is worth a closer look from business buyers and consumers. This slide show provides more details about this Dell model.

Five Customer Empowerment Tips: the Days of Intuition are Over
We all talk about the empowered consumer and it's safe to say that consumers indeed dispose of more ways to inform themselves, interact and buy when, where and how they want. And they use digital channels to inform themselves and to buy. You don't really need studies to notice customer empowerment. Just ask any retailer of consumer electronics, for instance. So, what is it about?
Content Marketing: What Content People Share And Why They Do It
It has a lot to do with the increasing attention for the informative needs of the customer in a two-way world where he/she searches the content that he/she needs at that time. From the business perspective, promotions and information score well. That context is function of the psychological promise, need fulfilling, emotional experience, psychological perception, information requirement etc. Why do people share content? Content is an enormously broad concept that we use every day without really defining it. We seldom talk about what it is. Thus context. Or are we both?
The Cross-Channel Customer Experience Must and How to Achieve It
That much is clear: customer experience and conversion transcend all media channels and activities, because people use various ways to find information and interact. Is there someone who oversees a consistent customer experience while information and communication are fully customer-driven and cross-channel? Why is the customer experience so important? Succeeding. How far are you?
Five Cultural Reasons Marketers Fail to Keep Up with Consumers
They share their buying decisions and actively seek information throughout every step of the buying journey, relying upon trusted advisors and even perfect strangers. And they cannot keep up with the ways in which consumers seek information and actual dialogs across their journey. Consumers are becoming channel-agnostic. They are effortlessly switching from one channel to the other.

Context Marketing in Context: Beyond Inbound and Content
It's essentially about value and information chains. Content serves goals and whether they are about branding, informing, enabling being found, strengthening existing customer relationships and whatnot: it needs to be relevant in a very contextual way. Everything evolves and so does marketing. Today, things evolve faster. The term context marketing is not new. That's good.

Of course, it's not the only division in most cases. Many businesses underestimate that.

From Conversation Company to Optimization Organization
The consumer is connected and indeed uses more channels than ever before when seeking information or preparing a purchase. A friend and fellow country-man, Steven Van Belleghem from InSites Consulting , wrote two books, ' The Conversation Manager ' and, more recently ' The Conversation Company '. However, it's time to take it a step further and move to the optimization organization.
The Perception of Social Media Marketing: it's a Free Lunch
Among other things there appears to be a problem with the communication, information and education efforts regarding social media. It's the task of businesses and marketers to learn, try and inform themselves if they are serious about their business and customers. Generate turnover by working efficiently and informed in a multi-channel reality. Recently, Belgium-based Leads United (part of Lewis PR), released the results of a social media marketing survey among communication and marketing "professionals. The social media marketing hype is bad for business…. Loyalty?
The Digital Business Impact of Multifunction Device Consumer Adoption
The exact same phenomenon can be seen in the differences between how people buy or inform themselves on tablets versus smartphones. Will 2013 be the year of smartphones and multifunction devices in general? Will it be the year of mobile? Of course it will. However, the past years were the years of mobile and multifunction devices too and I expect so will the coming years. Social/mobile CRM.
The Social Customer Service Elite: All Customers Are Equal But Some Are More Equal than Others
The combination of social, word-of-mouth, the public arena the online world becomes and the changes in the buying journey (information gathering, peer influence, shift from selling to buying) makes excellent customer experiences and customer service leading to new business and stronger brands. Do you remember the days of the Pareto principle? Fast forward to the "online" age. High influence?
Content in Context: How Sharing Equals Creating Content
We often look at content as a social object people can interact with and/or as a chunk of information that is seen as one. It can be pure information during a specific stage of the buying journey, entertainment or whatever else – mainly emotional – goal. Last Thursday I spoke at the Customer Media Conference in Haarlem, The Netherlands. The topic: content in context. It's not content.

The Ripple Effect of Blogging: Inbound Marketing is Not Enough to Exist
Often, inbound marketing, one of those new terms we have invented in the 'social media age', is defined as a combination of marketing strategies that focus on "being found" by people in the online space. It consists of what we now call content marketing (including blog marketing), social media marketing (which really is not about being found alone), Search Engine Optimization and so on. Period.

The term 'connected consumer' pops up on virtually every blog that covers social media and digital marketing. As usual, the danger is that in the end everyone talks about something different when using the term. Yes, of course.
Where does Content Marketing Belong in the Social Business?
Providing the "external" clients (in the broadest sense) with better information , relevant contextual content, and ways to "generate" content themselves. And then it is almost impossible to identify and use all the information and content that you dispose of in a useful way for your customers, communities and therefore, in the end, your short-term AND long-term bottom-line. A 'social' company is a customer-centric company. Note that the question is about responsibility and management (who does what and where), not ownership.

Social and Interactive CRM: the Core of a Customer-Centric Business

With the continually increasing popularity of social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, where members can be connected to friends, family members, co-workers, clients, and potential clients all by logging in to one account, it is understandable that companies and employers are concerned about the security of their trade secrets. However, the distinction between what is part of an employee's personal profile and what portion may belong to the employer is not an easy one to establish. In the past few years, a number of lawsuits have been filed, by both employers and employees, alleging misappropriation of social media accounts under trade secret law. However, a court or jury has yet to find at trial that a LinkedIn profile or a Twitter account contains protectable trade secrets capable of being quantified into recoverable damages. This article summarizes a few of the recent cases involving social media and discusses some of the issues to consider when litigating these kinds of trade secret actions.
Recent Cases Alleging Misappropriation of Social Media
Christou, et al. v. Beatport, LLC, et al. was filed in December 2010 by Regas Christou, the owner of several nightclubs with national reputations as venues for electronic dance music. A former employee of Mr. Christou, Bradley Roulier, booked well-known DJs to perform at the clubs. He also created, with financial and promotional support from Mr. Christou, Beatport, a popular online marketplace for electronic dance music. After Mr. Roulier stopped working for Mr. Christou, he founded his own competing club. Mr. Christou alleged that Mr. Roulier threatened DJs that their tracks would not be promoted on Beatport if they performed at Mr. Christou's clubs. In his cause of action for trade secret misappropriation, Mr. Christou alleged that Mr. Roulier and other defendants misappropriated the log-in information for his clubs' profiles on MySpace, lists of friends and customers, and lists of cell phone numbers and email addresses for DJs, agents, and promoters.
On March 14, 2012, the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss the trade secrets causes of action.[1] The court first noted that whether the plaintiffs' MySpace friends list was a trade secret was a question of fact. After considering all the factors for determining trade secret status, the court then held that the plaintiffs had alleged sufficient facts to maintain their trade secret claim at the motion to dismiss stage.
On March 26, 2013, the plaintiffs dismissed their claims against Beatport due to an informal resolution and voluntarily dismissed the claims of all but the two clubs that featured electronic dance music.[2] The case remained set for a jury trial beginning June 24, 2013.
Another lawsuit, PhoneDog v. Kravitz, filed in July 2011, involved the claims of PhoneDog, an interactive web resource that reviewed mobile products and services, against its former employee, Noah Kravitz. While Mr. Kravitz worked as a product reviewer and video blogger for PhoneDog, he was given use of and maintained the Twitter account "@PhoneDog_Noah," which generated approximately 17,000 Twitter followers during the course of Mr. Kravitz' employment. When his employment ended, PhoneDog requested that Mr. Kravitz surrender the Twitter account and Mr. Kravitz, in response, changed the account handle to "@noahkravitz" and continued to use the account. In its complaint, PhoneDog alleged misappropriation of trade secrets, intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, and conversion.
On November 8, 2011, the court denied Mr. Kravitz' motion to dismiss, finding that PhoneDog had sufficiently alleged a claim for misappropriation of trade secrets.[3] Like the court in Christou v. Beatport, the court in Phone Dog v. Kravitz noted that to the extent that Mr. Kravitz challenged whether the password and account followers are trade secrets and whether Mr. Kravitz's conduct constitutes misappropriation raised evidentiary issues more properly raised on a motion for summary judgment. Id. However, no motion for summary judgment was ever decided as the case settled on December 3, 2012 and Mr. Kravitz was allowed to keep both the Twitter account and its 17,000 followers.[4]
One of the few trade secret lawsuits involving social media information that proceeded all the way through a bench trial is Eagle v. Morgan, a case brought by Linda Eagle, the co-founder of Edcomm, Inc., a banking education company that provided on-line and in-person services. In May 2009, Dr. Eagle created a LinkedIn account with her Edcomm e-mail and used it for sales and marketing purposes. However, after her termination following the buyout of Edcomm by another company, Dr. Eagle's LinkedIn password was changed and she was locked out of the account. After Dr. Eagle filed suit in July 2011, alleging, inter alia, unauthorized use of her name, misappropriation of name and publicity, identity theft, and conversion, Edcomm filed counterclaims for misappropriation, unfair competition, and conversion.
After a bench trial, the court entered judgment on March 12, 2013 for Dr. Eagle only on her claims for unauthorized use of name and invasion of privacy, finding that Edcomm used Dr. Eagle's name without her consent for commercial purposes when it changed the content on Dr. Eagle's LinkedIn page to provide information about Sandi Morgan, the interim CEO of Edcomm, even though the url still contained Dr. Eagle's name.[5] However, the court found that the evidence was insufficient to support Dr. Eagle's request for damages and therefore did not award any compensatory damages to Dr. Eagle.
The court then entered judgment against Edcomm on its counterclaims for misappropriation, unfair competition, and conversion, finding that Edcomm never had a policy requiring that its employees use LinkedIn, did not dictate the precise contents of an employee's LinkedIn account, and did not pay for its employees' LinkedIn accounts. Edcomm also failed to put forth any evidence that Dr. Eagle's contacts list was developed and built through the investment of Edcomm time and money rather than Dr. Eagle's time and money.
The court's description of the outcome in Eagle v. Morgan as a "somewhat mixed bag for both sides" highlights the importance of doing a cost-benefit analysis before making the decision to litigate over who owns a social media account. While the primary lesson to be learned from these cases is that employers should have specific policies in place regarding personal and company social media, a secondary issue to consider is whether it is cost effective to litigate a trade secret case through trial, even if company policies purportedly establish ownership of social media accounts. Because the issue of whether Twitter followers or LinkedIn connections is a trade secret is a question of fact, courts will not usually sustain a demurrer or grant a motion to dismiss on the ground that social media connections do not constitute trade secrets. Thus, an employer or employee who files a complaint alleging trade secrets misappropriation should be prepared for the possibility of litigating the case at least through the summary judgment stage, if not through a jury or bench trial. Further, because of the uncertainty of damages from a misappropriation, there is no guarantee that courts would even award damages because it would require the fact-finder to put a value on each friend, contact or follower.
Establishing a Company Policy Regarding Social Media that Best Effectuates Trade Secret Protection
In response to employers seeking guidance on social media issues, the National Labor Relations Board has issued multiple reports regarding the results of investigations in dozens of social media cases. The third report, which can be found at http://www.nlrb.gov/node/5078, contains a sample media policy with general guidelines relating to posting content online as well as specific guidelines instructing employees, for example, not to register social media accounts using their work e-mail addresses. While the sample media policy does not address all the factors discussed in Eagle v. Morgan (e.g. who pays for the account, who is responsible for the content), it provides a good starting point for employers seeking to establish ownership of social media accounts. It is also a good idea to become more familiar with the options available to companies on social media websites, such as business pages and accounts on Facebook and LinkedIn. When companies create separate social media accounts and allow their employees to post content and develop business on those accounts, they will not have to be concerned about the commingling of corporate trade secrets with personal social media posts and the possibility of misappropriation of those trade secrets after employees leave.

During my initial schema work, I came under the impression that those parameters *had* to be declared in a namespace in order to create a schema at all. I see now that this is not the case. So, yes, we could allow anything in the default namespace as parameters. The only consequence is that all parameter names/values will not be able to be validated against a schema. I like the idea of being able to validate the entire sitemap against a schema while I'm developing it. It would certainly help prevent certain simple (but stupid) mistakes. :) On the other hand...doing it like I suggested (ie. <map:param name="foo" value="bar"/> wouldn't allow parameter validation, either. Like I mentioned, I didn't like declaring namespaces for the parameters, either, but it's the only way to validate the parameters. Is this something anyone cares about? I'm rather ambivalent at this point, so I'm curious if anyone else feels that schema-based parameter validation is important. If not, then the default namespace works just great. - Sean T.

Quick hits following Celtics head coach Doc Rivers' appearance on ESPN Radio's SVP & Russillo show Thursday (to listen to the interview, click HERE):
On why the Celtics have played so well (13-4) without Rajon Rondo: "Well I thought we were playing better right before he went out. I actually made that statement. What's funny is we were in the middle of a losing streak and I went out to the media and said, 'I know this sounds crazy, but I think we're about to turn the corner.' Avery was just coming back and we forget Avery missed the first 30 games of our season; Jeff Green missed all of last year, so he was starting to come into shape; Jason Terry's a new player on our team. We just had a lot of moving parts and we were just starting to get it together.
"So, I thought we were about to trend and then we lose Rondo and [Jared] Sullinger, which hurt us as well. But our team kept going. We clearly miss a lot of things without Rondo, especially end-of-the-game situations being one of them. We have to be more creative. But our guys have hung in there and we have two pretty good players. Kevin Garnett's not bad and neither is Paul Pierce. And having those two guys to kind of hold the fort together has been huge for us."
On advancing the ball more without Rondo: "I just know that our guys look for him because they want him to have the ball, and sometimes they probably could have thrown the ball ahead. I'm a big believer in the advance pass and there were times, yeah, I think our bigs, especially, instead of just advancing it up the floor, would wait to get it back to Rondo. Now, because we really don't have a primary ball handler. I've talked to a couple of guys that we've faced, coaching-wise, and they said, 'That's the most difficult thing now.' They're not sure where the heck the ball's going to be. It's funny, I was telling one of my friends, who's a coach in the league, 'I don't either.' We just advance it and we spread it and we move it and we try to let the ball find the open guy. Because, quite honestly, we don't have a guy good enough anymore who can just handle the ball and run the show. So why fight it? And we haven't."
On how long it's been since the NBA has seen a defender like Avery Bradley: "It's been a long time. I know there's been someone else since Scottie Pippen, but I really can't think of him, and I know there has been, I'm just not giving it enough thought. But he does it night-in and night-out, and even when he's guarding a guy that's not a scorer, but he's guarding the ball, what he's done for us is allow us to play defense at shorter times. I think our average now, since Avery's been back, is teams are getting into their offense -- and that means making the first pass to start the play -- at 10 seconds and 12 seconds. To have to just play defense for 12 seconds compared to 18 and 20 seconds just makes a huge difference in our defense. And when you look at our numbers since he's been back, I think we were 23rd defensively and now we're down to ninth or seventh, which means we're really one or two if you just go on the average since he's been back. It's made a huge difference."
On the league-wide struggles on the road: "Well I think a lot of teams are better, number one. It's funny, as a player, I loved the road, because I just loved the silence of the crowd when you win there. I know that was just what I enjoyed. But it does take you out of your norm, out of your comfort zone. And the more new players and the more role players you have, the more difficult it is to win on the road. The more stars you have, the more guys who are great on the night-in and night-out basis, the better you are on the road. I thought with all the changes we made -- early on we were really struggling on the road, now I think we're starting to find ourselves a little bit."
