Last night when I was doing this silly dance to some commercial's music, I thought how if someone followed me around with a camera every day, America would see just how weird I am. Then I thought, well maybe most of us are a little weird or a lot weird or somewhere in between. I told GMR, "When I first met you I wouldn't have danced like this (or whatever else I do or did or will do) because you'd think I was weird or nuts – so I let my crazy out of the sack a little at a time so you'd not run off screaming…" He just laughed, probably because he was thinking about his own stuff HE let out of his own bag a little at a time. Huhn.
There was an episode of SCRUBS about that, too – when the Janitor began telling his girlfriend alllllll about himself, and Carla stopped him then later told him to let his crazy out a little at a time so the girlfriend doesn't freak out. Made me laugh – made me think of . . . well, me! haw! whoop whoop!
I try to fit myself to situations, and I also try to be myself, but being myself could mean many things according to my mood or how overwhelmed by people I am or whatever–according to how much of my crazy is out of the sack that day or if the sack has contained most of my crazy.
This isn't crazy–um, not by my standards anyway, *laugh* – but, here's an example of Me and then other Me:
I met some friends/colleagues for dinner. One of the women I hadn't seen for a long time looked at me across the table, smiling away, and asked me, "So, tell us how is it going? You have another book out, right? Tell us all about it . . . come on, fill us in!" She was excited for me. And what did Kat do/say? My innards just sighed. I felt so very tired. I just mumbled something about how yes SG was now out and Sweetie would be out soon and it was all going fine. Then I shut up. Nothing else wanted to come out of my mouth. I actually just signed and looked down at the table, then across the room, then into my wine glass, then drifted off somewhere la l a la la tee dahhhhhh. She looked at me with expectation, with puzzlement, but all I could do was smile feebly and shrug and say, "I'm feeling a bit tired." I was – I'd just returned from the SIBA conference and I'd had it up to my eyeballs with people and writing and books and authors and talking about it all or, really, mostly listening to other authors as I walked around in a daze. And I won't even talk about the auction and how difficult it was to chat up a stranger who "won" me . . . lawd!
Now, flash forward to my trip to Oregon when I met the wonderful and beautiful Deb Shucka (Oh! Lucky me! she's marvelous!). I was feeling happy and upbeat and energetic and slightly hyper (okay, a lot hyper!). When we met, we hugged and smiled and while waiting for another blogger/FB friend (we never did see her–somehow we missed each other), I tried to reign in my crazy. But by time we had our coffee/chai tea, I was near bursting out of my skin. Maybe because I'd been with Little Boop and not writing or corresponding or whatever and had all kinds of words backed up. Maybe I'd had too much coffee. Maybe it was just my crazy spilling out of that sack. But I talked and laughed and carried on doodley doo dah day! I don't remember nary a word of what I said except a couple of disjointed sentences – haw!
If someone had been watching footage of both those Kats, they'd wonder which was the "real me," when both are the real me. You never know which Kat will show up — the quiet one, the shy one, the jittery wild one, the chatty-kathy one, the weary one, the wise one, the surprised one. I'm like one of those weird dolls they sell that you turn their head to change their mood and expression – haw! And those Kats can show up all at the same party on the same night, even – yup. Teeheeheeheehee.
There's more I can say about my crazy and the sack I try to keep it in, but I see I'm in my Babbling Phase, so I will reign myself in . . . yes. The post I had in mind about this was completely side-tracked by babbling – which is par for the crazy course . . . dang.
I'm off my MWF schedule, but will get back to that soon. Tomorrow the 10th I will be back at The Tartitude's place for Part II of the interview. There will be another give-away. Come by, say hi, ask a question, or just wave at me. If you aren't following The Tartitude, please do! She's brilliant and funny and kind.
Also, I'll be at Blue Ridge Books & News on Main Street Waynesville this Saturday at 4:00 for Sweetie release "party" -there will be Jambalaya made by "Chef" GMR, and it is also a charity event for Share the Warmth. Above is a pendant image Bellebooks made that we hope to have those there as part of the event–they used part of the cover. Nice–fits with the charity event very well.
Later y'all.

Maybe I'll have a new apartment later this week. My director has found several possibilities, with the most promising so far being one about halfway between the center of town and my school (this will cut my walk to school about in half). It has electric, gas, and water, although not hot water. I guess that's what the gas stove is for--heating it up. I haven't seen it yet, though, so I won't hold my breath on it. PCV housing isn't definite until your stuff's in there!
Other options are/have been an apartment that the people decided not to move out of, an apartment without electricity, and sharing a house with a single elderly man who lives next door to the school (the house reminded me very much of my Grandpa May's in that there were large piles of books and clutter all around, and it was difficult to explain to my coordinator that this was not an acceptable situation for a young woman, no matter how nice the man...he did have a washing machine, though!).
Prayers about housing would be appreciated!

Food City 500 – Sunday, April 15 at 2 p.m. ET on FOX
Bayne at Bristol Motor Speedway
• Bayne will make his eighth Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) start at Bristol this weekend. In seven starts he has totaled two top 10's, one top five and an average finish of 16th.
• His all-time best finish in the Cup series came in the 2016 spring race, a fifth-place result after qualifying 10th. He followed that with 12th in the fall race, 11th last spring, and seventh last fall.
• In 12 Xfinity starts at Thunder Valley, Bayne recorded four top 10's for an average finish of 15th, his best finish of sixth coming twice in the 2010 fall race in the No. 99 car, and again in the fall of 2013 in the No. 6 Ford EcoBoost machine for Roush Fenway Racing.
Matt Puccia at Bristol Motor Speedway
• Puccia will be atop the box for his 14th MENCS event at Bristol on Sunday. In 13 previous races, Puccia has recorded one top five and four top-10 finishes with a best result of fifth coming in the spring of 2016 with Bayne. In four races calling the shots for Bayne, the team's average finish is ninth with no finish lower than 12th.
On the Car AdvoCare is currently in its fourth season as a primary partner on the No. 6 in the MENCS for Roush Fenway Racing. They spent one year as the primary sponsor on the No. 6 in the Xfinity Series prior to making the move with Trevor Bayne and the No. 6 to the MENCS.
Recapping Texas
Despite being caught up in two separate cautions, Bayne was able to hang tough for a 12th-place finish last Sunday at Texas. After rolling off 13th, Bayne earned the free pass at the end of stage one, but was collected in a multi-car accident just after a restart suffering left side damage. After repairs were made, Bayne was caught up in another two-car spin through the front stretch, but he and the team rebounded for 12th, their best finish of 2018.
Bayne on racing at Bristol:
"Bristol is by far my favorite track. It always helps coming home to race in our backyard, and we've certainly had our share of success there. I'm confident that we can build off recent results as well as last week's top-12 and have a fast AdvoCare Ford Fusion this weekend."

The Perfect Admit Pack/0 Comments/in Branding, Fun Ideas, Hot Products, Marketing Ideas /by Julia Buraczewski
It's time to admit your Class of 2022!
But you're not the only one. How do you take your admitted student packet from more than just a welcome letter to a memorable experience, making it stand out from your competition? By building an admit pack that increases your yield rate by providing a "Wow!" factor that excites and entices the accepted student to completing the enrollment process with your school.
Here are the pieces that you'll need:
Unique Packaging
Don't just send another boring envelope! Sending acceptance letters in three dimensional packaging stands out and leaves a memorable experience. By using BookWear custom packaging you'll a statement before the box is even opened. Use dynamic and eye-catching images of your campus on the outside, and congratulate your newest admitted students with a sharply packaged admit kit which includes enrollment information and a fun, useful, and visible promotional product. BookWear is printed, packaged, shrink-wrapped and shipped all from one location, making it easy for you!
Include Your Enrollment Information
Save some trees! Upload all of your enrollment documents onto a flash drive instead of sending printed fliers and forms. Students can then download what they need and they'll have a useful promotional keepsake for when they come to campus in the fall. Want to make your flash drive stand out even more? We can turn your mascot into a custom molded flash drive!
A Fun Gift
Being accepted to college is a big step (pun intended), and you want students to be excited! Adding a fun, wearable gift like custom socks adds to the experience of being accepted to your top school. When students wear (and show off) your socks, they'll be reminded of your school and are brand ambassadors to their peers and community. Peer influence is extremely powerful and no other forms of marketing take advantage of this like promotional products.
It's all put together. Now what?
Don't want to handle the mailing yourself? That's fine! Just send us your mailing list and we'll send your admit pack to your newest class. If you want to handle the mailing yourself, we can do that too. We'll package your Bookwear, wrap and seal it, and ship it to your school. All each box needs is a label, and you're good to go!
Ready to build your perfect admit pack?
Contact your Account Manager today! We'll help you build the perfect admit pack from your school. We can start with the package that was put together for Magellan University, or help you build one from scratch! We're here to help you make your admit campaign a great success.

Top Promotional Products for Colleges in 2017/0 Comments/in Hot Products, Marketing Ideas, New Products, Product Information, Product Reviews /by Julia Buraczewski
After exploring the PPAI Expo's tradeshow floor in early January, the Magellan Promotions team came back with many great ideas that we'd love help you incorporate into your promotional product offering for 2017. Check out our favorite products for colleges below.
For pricing on any of these items, either click the item name, or visit our showroom.
Cell Phone Fan
What it is:
Have you ever held an outdoor event on a hot day where everyone is using your brochures as fans to keep themselves cool? Thanks to the cell phone fan, your event attendees can actually read those brochures instead of waving them around! The fan attaches to smart phones using the charging port and once plugged in can run up to 10 hours. With attachments for both Apple and Android phones, it's usable by almost everyone.
Why we love it:
The cell phone fan is the perfect, budget-friendly summer event giveaway. On a hot day, your event attendees will definitely thank you for thinking of their comfort! Plus, the small size means it's easy to throw in a purse or backpack for easy access after your event has ended. Any time your recipient wishes there was a breeze on a stiflingly hot day, they'll be glad to have the cell phone fan around!
Find more information and pricing here.
econscious Full-Zip Up Hoodie
What it is:
The econscious brand makes organic and sustainable apparel out of organic cottons and recycled polyester that is durable, comfortable and stylish. Our favorite piece from the brand is their full-zip hoodie that is made from 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester and comes in six different colors.
Why we love it:
Over the years we have seen our college partners becoming more and more environmentally aware, and we know that it is important to have apparel options that are eco-friendly. We love this piece because it is comfortable, stylish, and eco-friendly all at once! If you are looking to make a statement in both style and on the environment with your apparel, the econscious hoodie is the way to go.
Find more information and pricing here.
Custom Tote
What it is:
We know just how hard it can be at times to find a bag you like in your schools colors if the colors are anything other than black, white, red or royal blue. This tote bag is the solution you've been looking for. Pick from a selection of fourteen different colors for the front and back panels, side gussets, handles and your logo.
Normally you'd expect that a custom bag like this is an overseas project with a 5,000 piece minimum and 90 day production, right? Not this time! Production time is under 10 working days, and you can go as low as 250 pieces.
Why we love it:
Reusable bags are always a popular giveaway since they can be used so many ways. We've been right there with you on project where you want to match a bag your school's colors, but can't find the right combination in a stock item, and we know how frustrating it can be when the colors you need just aren't available. This bag gives you the flexibility to highlight your school's colors, without requiring you to find the budget for an overseas project or having to figure out where to store thousands of bags you don't need right away. It's the perfect custom bag option for any school.
Find more information and pricing here.
Kanga Wallet
What it is:
The Kanga wallet is a new twist on the traditional phone wallet. Just like the original phone wallet, it attaches to the back of your phone to store credit cards, school IDs and more. But unlike the original, the Kanga is made of faux leather and looks more like the traditional folding wallet, and can hold up to seven cards. It even has a hidden pocket to hide a little bit of cash. For extra security, it also has a strap along the side that ensures that the wallet stays closed.
Why we love it:
The traditional silicone phone wallet has been popular with many of our clients for years, and we continue to sell it to departments across campus. We love the phone wallet – but it does have it's limitations as it only recommends that you use it to store two cards. The Kanga phone wallet allows you to store up to seven, and it has a more professional look than the colored silicone wallet. It makes for great gifts for staff, or students about to graduate who are looking for their fist job.
Find more information and pricing here.
20oz Congito Byron Tumbler
What it is:
If you've ever had the chance to visit the Magellan Promotions headquarters, you'll probably notice that we all have a Contigo tumbler or water bottle on our desks. When it comes to a high-quality, retail-name brand piece of drinkware, it's hard to find something that will be better than the Contigo brand.
In 2016, the Congito Byron was introduced as an alternative to the Contigo Westloop as a less-expensive but still high-quality tumbler. The Byron tumbler is a double-wall, vacuum insulated tumbler with a SNAPSEAL lid, meaning that when the lid is closed you can throw it in a bag without worrying about it spilling. Trust us, we've tried it! This year's introduction is a 20oz version, meaning that you can hold an extra 25% in the tumbler over the original version. It's plenty big to satisfy anyone's daily caffeine addition (we'd hope).
Why we love it:
Because of their superior quality, the 20oz Byron tumbler makes for a great gift for staff, guest speakers, alumni, donors and more. The value in the Contigo brand name and quality will show that you're giving a gift of great value, but you won't break the bank.
Find more information and pricing here.
Custom Dye-Sublimated Polos
What it is:
Our custom dye-sublimated polos allow you to fully design a polo from start to scratch with no limit on the number of colors or restrictions on logo placement that you would normally have on a polo with a standard left-chest embroidery. You have the ability to create a design that is completely unique, from design, to color, logo placement and more. With a online creation platform, you can design your apparel from scratch, or start with one of our premade designs. Within 30 days, we can produce and deliver as few as 4 custom shirts to you.
Why we love it:
Just like with the bags we previously talked about, we know that it can be hard to find a polo that perfectly matches your school's colors, especially if you are looking for a specific PMS match or want to stand out from the crowd. You can create a piece that no one else on your campus will have. These polos are perfect for helping brand your staff apparel for events, making sure your brand stands out from the crowd.
To discuss information and pricing for a custom polo project, please contact one of our Account Managers.
Knit & Sublimated Socks
What it is:
We've seen knit socks before, and we've dye-sublimated socks too. The newest trend to hit our industry is combining the best of both decoration methods – a knit in foot and cuff, with a dye-sublimated ankle. This allows you to get the thicker feeling of knit in the foot of the sock, while getting the extra detail and full-color printing available through dye-sublimation on the ankle. Plus, with new developments in the dye-sublimation process, you no longer have to worry about the white background making your logo from being lost when worn. The new process dyes the threads deeper into the sock, helping maintain the integrity of the logo when worn.
Why we love it:
You can never have too many socks, right? Plus a good pair of socks can be a little expensive – which is why people will appreciate getting them as a gift. The combination of dye sublimation and knit-in decoration allows you to get really creative with the design and show off your brand in a new, unique way! Socks are great giveaways for fundraisers, athletic events, admissions events and more.
Find more information and pricing here.
Wine-O Wine Stopper
What it is:
Have you ever struggled with getting a wine bottle in your fridge once you put a wine stopper on it because it either doesn't fit on the shelf or it's too tall to fit in the door? Many of the wine stoppers in our industry are the taller style that add extra height to a wine bottle making it more difficult to fit in your fridge (but that just means you have to finish the bottle instead of putting it back in the fridge, right?). The Wine-O wine stopper is the solution, as it fits flat on the top of a wine bottle without adding too much height.
Why we love it:
The Wine-O wine stopper eliminates the struggle of trying to get a wine bottle with a stopper into your fridge, while at the same time having a sleek look that is the perfect accent for your logo. Imprinted with either a laser engrave (our favorite) or with UV ink, it is a very sleek gift. Wine-related gifts are always perfect for alumni giveaways and events, or fundraisers. Plus the low minimums and price under $4 means it's the perfect budget-friendly giveaway.
Find more information and pricing here.
Omega Collection Tumbler
What it is:
Yeti-style tumblers were one of the most popular drinkware trends in our industry in 2016. But the double-walled, copper vacuum insulation that is used on Yeti-style tumblers means that they can require a bigger budget. The Omega Collection tumbler is a Yeti-style tumbler that won't break the bank. Instead of the double-walled insulation, the Omega Collection tumbler is a single wall tumbler, cutting the prince almost in half from the double-walled option.
Why we love it:
The most recognizable thing about the Yeti brand is their look and style, and the Omega Collection tumbler lets you take that style but doesn't break the bank. It comes in a few unique colors that will make your brand stand out. The straw also makes it easier to drink from, compared to many other Yeti-style tumblers that only have sip-through lids. If you're looking for a great drinkware piece to use as a giveaway or gift, the Omega Collection is a great option!
Find more information and pricing here.
Ollie Computer Backpack
What it is:
Over the past year we've talked a lot about how the most popular items in our industry are our interpretations of retail brands, but at a less expensive price-point. The Ollie computer backpack is no exception. The Ollie mirrors the look of a Timbuk2 backpack, but at a much lower price point. Available in red, blue or black, the Ollie backpack can hold up to a 17″ laptop, and features a zippered accessory pocket, interior mesh pockets for organization, adjustable, padded shoulder straps and more.
Why we love it:
Backpacks have been trending within the bags category in our industry, and the Ollie is a sharp-looking option that won't blow your budget. The retail-brand style means that it will appeal to college students, and they'd be happy to wear it around campus promoting your brand. Perfect for scholarship events, admissions giveaways and more, you can't go wrong with the Ollie computer backpack!
Find more information and pricing here.
Would one or more of these items be perfect for branding your company in 2017? Contact one of our Account Managers or check out our showroom for more information and pricing.

Mid-September Michael and Paige headed to Indianapolis for the NACAC (National Association for College Admission Counseling) National Conference. The show was a huge success with over 6000 attendees!
In talking with professionals who stopped by our booth, Michael identified promotional products that stood out. Four popular items, pictured below, related to tech items and social media photo sharing. Want to view more top promotional products? Visit our NACAC 2014 Showroom.
The DigiClean screen cleaner continues to be a popular item (and is something we have highlighted in this post and this case study). Attendees loved the phone wallets and portable chargers we handed out. The custom frame received a lot of interest too, especially for tying in fun photo sharing with campus tours and admitted student days. Read our case study on the UW-Madison custom frame for more details.
Additional popular case studies for admissions were featured on our booth handout to further illustrate how promotional items can effectively be used throughout each stage of the enrollment funnel to:

Help Stop the Melt – 5 Ways to Integrate Promotional Products into Social Media/in Fun Ideas, Marketing Ideas, Promotional Ideas /by Danielle Jason
"Most schools will see a melt of 2-3% of their incoming class," according to Bob Patterson, the Director of College Outreach for Zinch, a Chegg service, who discussed Summer Melt on edTech Digest.
Some of the strategies he outlined to prevent summer melt included creating a social network for deposited students and simply getting students excited about coming to campus.
Students Engaged Online = Less Likely to Melt
Encouraging accepted and deposited students to join and participate in a school's social media sites is a common goal at EVERY higher education institution throughout the year, and most importantly during summer. To increase participation, it may take some incentive for students to actively post on an incoming class' social media site.
To increase social media engagement, many colleges creatively use promotional products to promote and drive usage on incoming class sites. A tangible item is a fun way of saying "thank-you for choosing our school" and an appreciated reminder of your school and its dedicated social media sites over summer. Here are a few promotional product ideas that collegiate clients frequently integrate with their social media campaigns:
Product Ideas for Social Media Integration
- Contests: Use promotional items as a prize on social media contests. Ripon College hosted a water bottle photo contest with the Class of 2017. It was successful in creating engagement with the new class, leading to many new interactions and conversations in the social media space. Learn more in the Ripon College Case Study.
- Imprinting Twitter handles and social media accounts on a t-shirt. Bloomfield College has been hosting a t-shirt promotion for three years. Once students took a picture of themselves with their Accept Certificate and posted it online, they would be mailed a t-shirt. According to Bloomfield College, each year the number of posts surpasses the previous year, making this promotion a big hit with students. Learn more in the Bloomfield College T-shirt and Social Media Promotion Case Study.
- Stickers / Decals: These are a low-cost, direct-mail-friendly item that can easily be imprinted to direct students to social media sites for admitted / deposited students. One college we worked with created bumper stickers to include in an admitted student mailing. Students were encouraged to post pictures of themselves with the bumper sticker on the admitted student Facebook page.
- Phone Screen Cleaner: The DigiClean phone screen cleaner is one of our most popular tech items with colleges. It comes pre-attached to a postcard or business card, leaving an ample canvas for featuring a QR code, social media icons, and hashtags for incoming students. Read more in the DigiClean Case Study.
- Picture-worthy Promo Items: a custom frame with the hashtag #FutureBadgers for the University of Wisconsin – Madison was used to integrate social media into campus tours, allowing prospective students show their excitement and actively endorse UW Madison to their own social networks. This frame could also be created for Class of 2018 at admitted student days or orientation activities. Learn more about it in the Custom Frame Case Study.
Social media plays a key role in building community and helping students find their place at your school. It's essential to effectively promote admitted / deposited student sites to minimize the melt. Consider using promotional products to help engage and excite students throughout summer.
Promotional Marketing for College Recruitment/0 Comments/in Benefits of Promotional Products, News /by Danielle Jason
When thinking about promotional products, we have been putting ourselves in the shoes of our admissions clients. We understand that the stakes for recruiting students have never been higher.
This makes your school's marketing tactics even more important. You need to be memorable. Print, online, TV, radio, events and direct mail are all common elements of any college's marketing mix. Where does promotional marketing fit in? The answer is easy – just about anywhere. When properly thought-out, promotional items are easily integrated into your existing marketing plans.
As with any successful marketing campaign, it's essential to deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time. A relevant and useful promotional item can reinforce a marketing message to your audience, and repeat exposure increases the likelihood of recall and eventual action. Based on recall alone, promotional items rank higher than other media types.
The bottom line: promotional products WORK for recruiting college students. Picture a high school student seeing your college's billboard, online ad, and using a branded phone screen cleaner from a campus event all in the same day. It's the perfect way to keep your brand in front of a target audience – exactly what's needed for a longer decision-making process of selecting a college.
Based on our experience working with admissions departments, we've broken down the enrollment funnel into three key areas categorized by marketing goals:

Enhancing International Student Recruitment with Promotional Marketing/0 Comments/in Benefits of Promotional Products, Marketing Ideas /by Danielle Jason
The U.S. will be the fastest growing international student destination over the next decade, according to a report released by the British Council's Education Intelligence as featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education. A record high: 764,495 international students came to the U.S. for the 2011-2012 academic year as noted in Open Doors 2012 Fast Facts. The report also indicates the top ten countries of origin: China, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Mexico, and Turkey. Outside of the top ten, Iran, Venezuela, and Spain have experienced double-digit growth rates in the number of students studying in the United States.
Country of focus aside, all of the data points to the importance of international recruiting for U.S. schools and colleges. In this post, we'll examine the basics of international recruiting and incorporating promotional marketing into your overall marketing strategy.
International Recruiting: The Essentials
While the U.S. is already among the most popular destination for international students, each school has the unique opportunity to build its brand to stand out from other institutions. According to a Noel Levitz White Paper, Reaching Beyond Borders: Key Issues in Recruiting and Retaining International Students, academic quality matters most to students with campus safety and security being a top concern. In addition to these areas, international recruiters need to emphasize key differentiators: campus size, diverse student body, location etc. to "sell" a university's experience.
Defining your Audience
Beyond solely targeting students, it's important to also reach out to the many people who help influence students: parents, local alumni, international organizations, and agents. As you know, some parents are extremely involved in their students' academic decisions, so it's not uncommon to be communicating with them directly. Local alumni and current students also serve as brand ambassadors, sharing their experience via social media or in person at events. Such endorsements become valuable (and free) word of mouth advertising and influential peer endorsements. Parents often hire private agents to help students select and gain admission to top U.S. schools, so it's important make agents aware of your school. Finally, partnering with trade organizations, such as Education USA can increase a school's understanding, promotion, and overall reach within a given area.
Tailoring your Marketing Mix
Colleges typically utilize webinars, email, electronic viewbooks, website, mobile site, event support, and promotional marketing for international recruiting. While advertising in the local market may not be attainable or within budget, promotional marketing can be incorporated through university recruiters and professors traveling abroad (or at international trade events held in the U.S.), international alumni associations, overseas agents or advisors via events or direct mail. Special considerations should be given to ensure any direct mail premiums or hand-carried items would clear customs.
Promotional marketing works for recruiting international students because it is:
- Targeted & Brand Relevant
- Useful and Appreciated Advertising
- An Implied Endorsement
Targeted & Brand Relevant: Traditionally thought of as the marketing medium that starts a relationship, promotional products can be extremely targeted to the lifestyle of a prospective international student, while still being relevant to your brand. When appealing to the habits and interests of students with a promotional item, a school can increase the likelihood that the item will be used, which in turn, increases the item's effectiveness.
Useful and Appreciated Advertising: A tangible, useful branded item can be a daily reminder of a school or college (81% of products are kept because of usefulness). Promotional items are the only form of advertising that make recipients say, "thank you." Students will also stand in line for free promotional items.
Implied Endorsement: Lending itself to social sharing, promotional products are also an implied endorsement of your school. This is important for word of mouth marketing to peers. Similarly, promotional items can be used to market to the high school counselors, advisors, and agents located abroad. Either hand out items at fly-in's or events, or mail counselors promotional items for their students interested in studying in the United States, as they are the local "face of your school."
International Recruiting Product Ideas
In brainstorming product ideas for international students, we subscribed to the idea that "smaller is better." Think of items that can easily be shipped overseas, or packed in a suitcase to reach alumni, agents, or high school advisors (that will also clear customs). As in any marketing campaign, the promotional item should be tailored to the target audience and local customs. Some ideas we like:
- Pennant – a classic way to show school spirit. Give to overseas advisors or students.
- DigiClean smartphone cleaner. This small, useful item may be popular with international students, as 74% have viewed university websites on a mobile device according to a Noel Levitz study: Understanding the Expectations and Behaviors of Prospective International Students.
- Lapel pins of a school logo / crest – This may work well for international schools that have uniforms.
- Webkey – directs students to your school's website or online viewbook.
Long-term Strategy
The key to successfully growing an international student base is a long-term commitment in specific target countries. Many students are already convinced that the U.S. is their top choice, so it's up to each school to effectively brand and promote its academic experience and build relationships to become THE choice for international students.

Supporting Admissions with Promotional Marketing/1 Comment/in Marketing Ideas, Product Reviews, Promotional Ideas /by Michael Wolaver
As with anything in life, sometimes it just comes down to timing.
We sent a mailing to our professional contacts with a sample of a unique product: the web key. Though at first glance they don't look too exciting, web keys are cool and useful for several reasons:
- Targeted: web keys drive traffic to a specific URL when plugged into a USB port
- Measurable: use web metrics to track results
- Cost: web keys are less expensive than USB drives
Dana Grennier at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) received our mailing and sample web key at just the right time. She was part of a team that was launching a new social network platform called Bridge, developed in partnership with 7Summits. The web key was the perfect promotional item to promote Bridge to prospective students.
Beyond traditional marketing tactics, MSOE staff handed out web keys at college fairs, high school visits, open house events, and other higher education meetings. Read the full story on how promotional marketing supported MSOE admissions' goals in our case study library.

The Importance of Hiring a Good Personal Injury Law Professional
As much as we try to protect ourselves from injuries, they are always bound to happen. It is vital to recognize how to handle them when they take place. Personal injury takes place when a person is wounded in the midst of work either with machine or fellow employee. It is pivotal to know the laws encompassing such wounds. This empowers the harmed party and the organization in control, to identify how to resolve the case. A couple of cases are resolved without the courts while others in courts. It is normally cheaper and less of a hustle to settle without the judges.Depending on the compensation offered to the injured part, one decides whether or not to go to court. The accompanying is a portion of the advantages of contracting individual damage master, for example the Harmon Linder and Rogowsky experts.
It is profitable to engage a personal injury expert as a result of the knowledge and skills they have. They know which cases to take a gander at. Such professionals have plenty of understanding regarding indemnity and remunerations. Individual damage authority can catch up a case to its end till pay is finished. They recognize which therapeutic records are necessary for a case and which observers to be displayed amid the case. Without involving a professional in such cases, the wounded party may lose in monetary and emotional terms. One may wind up having more damages without sufficient cash for medicinal upkeep.
Another real favorable position of procuring an expert to deal with individual damage is because of time efficient.Without dealing with experts, such cases can take a lifetime. Having being wounded, clients cannot contain adequate vigor for meetings and investigations.Most of their time may be centered on taking care of the injury.In such cases, hiring experts becomes the best solution.A personal injury lawyer has time to evaluate the medical reports and negotiate with insurance parties involved. Other than saving time, enlisting a legal counselor for such cases likewise spares you cash. Because of the possibility charge one just pay once adjusted.This makes it easier for anyone to afford a good lawyer.Since the lawyer's fees is tied to your case, he or she is bound to do his best to get compensation.
In most circumstances, clients who employ professional legal representatives result in enjoying higher remuneration than those that refuse. They can easily pay their attorneys and yet cover their wounds and upkeep.It is therefore practical to employ an expert to handle your personal injury case.For one to gain more knowledge about the above-mentioned lawyers, you can check on the Harmon Linder & Rogowsky reviews on their website.


text: Thorsten, FIRST: I'm not criticing your work. Instead I really appreciate your work, as you try to make things right! But I criticise the way we handle new features. Due to this I can pretty well understand Freds concerns about adding a simple switch for enabling Rembrandt, which is a experimental feature as well. Keep it more or less only available to them who does know what they do and understand that there are still problems seems the better way sometimes. SECOND: I'm following FGFS's developement as much as I can, but sometimes I try to see things from users perspective view. And my critiscm is based on that. > You're kidding yourself if you claim the skydome ever worked properly in > 2.6. ... > I don't think it's a good idea to put cool features which work > sometimes > if you cherry-pick conditions into a release. Doing so in 2.6 with the > skydome shader turned out to be a mistake. Going further into the > direction of the mistake makes the problem worse, not better. If I remember right, in 2.6.0 the skydome shader was marked as experimental. So of course that means that things doesn't work right, and yes, and under some circumstances the shader didn't work properly. And so it is now. But we changed a skydome shader with problems with another skydome shader with other problems which needs to be fixed. >From developers view that's o.k.- that's how development works. But from users view it is difficult to understand, as we already could see (I was not the only one who did not understand the whole thing). That's why I hoped we can get something like a compromise and that's why I came up here with. I can see now that it isn't possible, so I hope we are able to sort out the problems in the next developement semester. Cheers Heiko still in work: http://www.hoerbird.net/galerie.html But already done: http://www.hoerbird.net/reisen.html

Like the bow of a ship
Generally I've had a good week this week, Saturday's Aikido class was enjoyable again, Sensei Gary Crossland gave his Ukemi class, which was interesting, and Sensei McAuley had me and Gary doing a lot of Kokyu nage and Jiyu waza to finish the class, again this type of training is great for breathing and stamina, but if I'm to help those taking grades in April, I need to practice the Kihon waza (basic techniques) I'm hoping to be able to get through to the Tuesday class from March on wards, so maybe that will help.
On Monday night, I was over at Nigel's again for the weekly SGI meeting, I met Bart and Holly (other members of the Doncaster group) Also I met John and Ann (District leaders-I think) who were both wonderful people, were having a special meeting on the 21st, so I'm looking forward to that, John's talk on the practice and Gohonzon, was very inspirational and gave me the determination to do my morning and evening gongyo everyday this week.
I enjoyed Thursdays Wing Chun class, I think having that short break away from class for 2 weeks, really helped, as I've returned with a better attitude, and have enjoyed class. This week we covered some poon sau (rolling hands) and some pak sau (slaping hand) drills, which I enjoyed, as it covered the close range inside striking and trapping principles of Wing Chun, I'm looking forward to the training day on the 22nd. Neil (one of the assisting instructors), told us to imagine entering through like a bow wave, deflecting and dissipating the energy as we drive through, like a wedge.
This is exactly how Sensei Riley and Sensei Derrick, used to describe their Aikido, when talking of their Irimi (entering) techniques.
Well the car is in for it's MOT tomorrow morning, it should get through ok, (although i said that last year and it cost a couple of hundred quid to get through) as my Aikido training is dependent on me driving there (and in a smaller way my SGI activities) I could really do with it getting through without much hassle this year.

I Need These Knitting Needles!!
Here's my current Knitting Dilemma. I am anxious to start the Blue Jay Shawl with the yarn that I purchased at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival but these Size 9 circular needles are stuck on this partially done shawl. The shawl is really pretty. It's Filatura DiCrosa Superior Yarn. 70% Cashmere, 30% Silk. A Really beautiful yarn. The thing is, I really don't have any enthusiasm for this project.
Now I have at least 3 other pairs of Size 9 circular needles, but I want to use these because they are the addi Turbo Lace needles. The points are a little sharper and I know they're the right needles for the blue jay shawl.
So, here's my choices
1-I just pull the needles out of this project-take the knitted shawl apart and save the yarn for another project
2- Take a different piece of yarn and string the live stitches on that until I finish the blue jay shawl and then return the needles to this project
3-(The choice I probably won't pick!) I actually finish this superior shawl before I start the blue jay shawl.
Now, if this was an employment situation, I'd have take choice #3 and finish the started project, but thank gooodness, this is my knitting and I can do whatever I want. So now I have to choose. What do you think?
Also, this week, I've been working on another shawl. Look's like if I start several, I'll have at least one new one done for the summer season.

This is a digital painting of a blob fish. He is famed for his ugliness. He knows he is ugly and he is okay with that but he still lives in a shell of gloominess. He is upset by how others react to his appearance. He sees his ugliness in their expressions like a mirror. Blob fish are so ugly that little kids cry when they see him in line at the store. They run away in terror and cling to and behind their parents leg as if they are seeking a safe haven from a gnarly monster but he is actually sweet and kind hearted.

After a longer-than-expected visit to the post office, I left the teller and was busy putting my new Harry Potter stamps in my bag as I pushed open the hefty door. Just then, I heard someone say to me, "Ni hao ma?"
I looked curiously at the older Caucasian gentleman who was about to board his bike. I scanned my mental files to figure out if I knew him. Nothing was ringing a bell.
He grinned a knowing smile and said again, "Ni hao ma?"
I didn't quite know how to react to this total stranger. His pronunciation showed he didn't actually know the language. Sure, I had an elementary school-level Mandarin vocabulary and could reply. But it's clear that's not what he wanted. So I inquired.
"How do you know I speak Chinese?" I asked.
The overly confident man looked bemused. He didn't have an immediate answer, so I did what I do when there's an awkward silence, I kept talking: "Some people might actually think that's rude."
His expression changed. He gazed at me like I was a target, started trembling with anger, and bellowed in a deep echoing voice: "I. AM. RUDE!"
I could feel strangers from all sides turn in my direction, ready to jump in if he attacked.
Fortunately, he muttered something to himself, hopped on his bike, and rode away.
I got in my car and sat there, shocked and shaking. And I didn't mention the incident to anyone for a week.
Here we are in 2015 in the metropolitan New York City area of Hoboken, N.J., which has a 7.1 percent Asian population, and there are still times when people see us first by the color of our skin. It's not exactly racism. It's not exactly stereotyping. But what exactly is it? Honestly, I'm never exactly sure how to react.
I was born in the Midwest, raised on the west coast, and now live on the east coast. Minus Saturday mornings at Chinese School, I grew up as "American" as can be. Sure there were times where odd foreign platters were served at dinner and other times when we honored certain traditions or superstitions I hadn't heard of, but those were just tiny moments.
Well, then there was the time my family went to Atlanta to watch the 1996 Olympics and a young boy accidentally bumped into my dad at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum. My dad instinctively said, "Excuse me?" and the child looked up at him bewildered and replied, "You speak English?"
As a teenager at the time, that stuck with me and reminded me that maybe I was different. But that aside, nothing else had an adverse affect on me. As I got older, I began to embrace my Taiwanese roots more (especially the food!) and recently have started taking more frequent trips there to understand the country my parents immigrated from.
Despite that self-education, as I operate through daily life, I don't exactly think about my race, until someone points it out.
The most typical reminder always starts with a "Where are you from?"
"California," I answer.
"No, where are you from?"
"Oh, well, actually I was born in Chicago."
"I mean, where is your family from?"
I'm never sure where to take this conversation, but I'd say it comes up, give or take, once a month.
Sometimes I give in and say, "Oh, they're from Taiwan," as the inquirer breathes a sigh of relief. Other times, I go with "They're in California," and see where they take that.
And still other times, I let them guess. Of all the instances I've had people play this game, after rattling off everything from Japan and Korea to the Philippines and Vietnam, only one person has guessed Taiwan. (My favorite response was after I told them the answer, one person said, "I love Thai food!" That led to another awkward conversation about how not all Asian countries starting with a T are the same.)
On the other side of the equation, I find my own attention piqued when I see Asian-Americans represented in pop culture organically. Growing up, it so rarely happened (but thank you Full House for Harry Takayama!) that I was insanely thrilled as a teen when ABC launched the Margaret Cho-led All-American Girl in 1994. In fact, that's where my journalism career started. My first published entertainment story was a review on the sitcom for my school paper. I just couldn't believe how the show normalized the family so much that it wasn't purely about the stereotypes. As a high school student, that struck me.
But our country must not have been ready for this in the 1990s, especially on network television.
It's taken a shocking 20 years for a second chance, with Fresh Off the Boat premiering Wednesday night on ABC. The show centers around a Taiwanese-American family moving from Chinatown in Washington, D.C. to suburban Florida, and is based on chef Eddie Huang's memoir of the same name. Although the title couldn't be more opposite of All-American Girl, the show treats diversity the same way. It's about a fish-out-of-water family, which happens to be Asian.
In the last two decades, I'd like to think we've become more accepting, but based on some of the early reactions, it appears as if some have already been judging the show by its cover -- with a few critics in a press conference focusing on the Asian-ess of the show more than its content, quality, and actual storyline.
We've all felt like outsiders at times -- and that's what the sitcom is about. It's a relatable tale of those struggles and the comedy that comes along with it. If we can accept how hard it is for Twilight's vampire family to fit into society, I'd hope that this time around, we can do the same with a real-life group of people, especially a population which is growing so quickly in the U.S.
There really isn't a way to answer how much we judge people by their skin these days. But this show will be an interesting indicator. And I don't know how I'll feel about the show either yet, but I do know that it has intrigued me enough to share these musings -- really only the second time I've written about being Asian-American -- especially after the post office incident a few weeks back.
I'm anxious to see how the general audience accepts a sitcom about an Asian-American family in this social media age. I'm anxious to see if it will change the way people look at one another in everyday life. And I'm anxious to see if it will change the thinking of a certain self-professed "rude" man living in 2015 America.

An arena, is a covered or not covered enclosed area, often circular or oval-shaped, designed to showcase theater, musical performances, or sporting events. It is composed of a large open space surrounded on most or all sides by tiered seating for spectators. The key feature of an arena is that the event space is the lowest point, allowing maximum visibility. Arenas are usually designed to accommodate a large number of spectators.
The word derives from Latin harena, a particularly fine/smooth sand used to absorb blood in ancient arenas such as the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.[1]
The term arena is sometimes used as a synonym for a very large venue such as Pasadena's Rose Bowl, but such a facility is typically called a stadium, especially if it does not have a roof.[citation needed] The use of one term over the other has mostly to do with the type of event. Football (be it association, rugby, or gridiron) is typically played in a stadium, while basketball and ice hockey are typically played in an arena, although many of the larger arenas hold more spectators than do the stadiums of smaller colleges or high schools. There are exceptions. The home of the Duke University men's and women's basketball teams would qualify as an arena, but the facility is called Cameron Indoor Stadium. Domed stadiums, which, like arenas, are enclosed but have the larger playing surfaces and seating capacities found in stadiums, are generally not referred to as arenas in North America. There is also the sport of indoor American football (one variant of which is explicitly known as arena football), a variant of the gridiron-based game that is designed for the usual smaller playing surface of most arenas; variants of other traditionally outdoor sports, including box lacrosse and futsal/indoor soccer, also exist.
The term "arena" is also used loosely to refer to any event or type of event which either literally or metaphorically takes place in such a location, often with the specific intent of comparing an idea to a sporting event. Such examples of these would be terms such as "the arena of war" or "the arena of love" or "the political arena". In many fighting games, the stage that opponents are fought in is also called an arena.

Combining Colors with Confidence/Textile Inspirations –two day workshop
At the Artway in Damascus, Maryland Saturday October 11th and Sunday 12th- 10:00am- 4:00pm each day
to register visit their site here
To see my 2008-2009 workshop schedule and registration information visit this page of my blog
Join Lindly Haunani, a nationally recognized colorist for a fun and illuminating weekend workshop. While you may know just what colors you like, exactly how to mix them (or not), using them in harmonious combinations can be challenging. Learn how to add impact to your work with increased color confidence while learning several valuable skills for working with polymer clay.
You will learn strategies for designing and mixing cohesive color schemes, including how to choose a level of saturation within your comfort zone. You will learn the secret to making successful "skinny" skinners that will be used to make nine different laminated textile patterns including the popular Log Cabin Quilt design, Spirals, Seminole Patchwork, Bargello and a variation of Nine Patch. In addition to having fun, you will leave with a series of wearable color samples/brooches. You will increase your awareness of how appropriate color choices and contrasts can add impact to your work.
See how the three properties of color: value, hue and saturation dazzle and change when proportion, juxtaposition and surface are consciously adjusted. Ask questions, be ready to laugh and increase your color confidence

Turn on the recording devices, there's some things I need to say out of context. Put your hand in this jar and pull out all the tacks, now you know what's going on in my mind. Take this violin and play it on the beach and when you're done throw it in the waves, so the octopi and the jellyfish can weep to our melodies.
Is that snow or volcanic ash or toxic confetti that covers this cantankerous city?
I'm wearing suede shoes and I'm dancing with a mannequin.
Consume this murderous milkshake, drink this dangerous daiquiri, let's vacation on Vesuvius. Freeze my blood and drop it in a pint of Bud.
Let's get drunk and yell at the fuzz.=
We're sinister, miniature miracles…
falling from pinnacles onto cynical vinegar.
Swallow me up and spit me out, I'm bitter.
Follow me around the down and out, I'm litter.
Counting pennies on sidewalks, robbing mimes for invisible time.
Pooping up Mueslix, scooping a crucifix, eating lutefisk, stranded in Budapest.
Halfway to Bali… got a lei around my neck and I'm checked out in an alley.
We can do-si-do till the moon dipsy-do and the sun goes whoopsy-woo.
Fall asleep in a redwood hammock with a half-eaten sandwich…
Strung-out, heartbroken, tongue-tied, star ballet from the fungi…
The sky… doing tricks like a Russian bear driving a Hyundai…
with a paper bib and a plastic rib, everybody watching the front line,
where the soldiers grunt and the ones in the trench harrumph.
We're left to die in a marsh, made of toxic barf, broke down to Mars….
My spaceship is made of Reddi Wip© — Time Travel ain't too far…
I'm coming home in a dinosaur bone, replace my heart with a cellular phone…
I'm 16 calories… charge me up with a battery, my life, my love is scattering…
like pollen in a frosty pond…
Everybody jump up and dance to the DJ,
get your frisky, risky business on…
Life's a 30-mile relay… you don't know where
to pass the baton… I'm 3-ways to the sheets….
beneath the streets and freeways.
Let's just bang the gong,
fall in love and sing our song.
I'm filling out postcards…
licking stamps and watching planes crash in France.
I'm milling around…
studying art by Napoleon Bonaparte…
I'm just kicking the ground,
waiting for the spaceship to land,
climb aboard and greet the captain…
hit light-speed till our eyes bleed..
1% of 1% — I'm 30,000 feet from present tense…
my feet tense up, I bundle up, cover my eyes
so my disguise be fundamentally wonderment —
Hold on as we blast off, rear view mirror, glass shard,
everything fractured and made of matter…
my vision captured the universe as it splattered and spread out
over the highway my rubber wheels tread and bled out.
Are we home alone?
Or just hanging out?
Dangling from an umbrella?
like a bat in a cave waiting to fly?

The findings were that firms with larger board sizes had lower financial performance presumably due to sub - optimization of decisions inherent in consensus building and slower major

Inside Bluemarine Showroom Milan Fashion Week
While I was staying in Milan for fashion week I was so lucky to be invited not only to the Bluemarine show but to the Bluemarine showroom, where I got to appreciate every detail of the new collection.
The collection was inspired by leather, flowers and pastels and will be out in stores for the next FW13-14. Who says winter has to be about neutrals and black!?

Over the last ten years I've apparently been spoiled when it comes to gyms. In the small college city where I used to live, there was the university's rec center, a city-run rec center, and literally just two other gyms in the entire city. The one where we had a membership was on the opposite side of town, which meant it took five minutes to get there. And we paid a whopping $40 a month.
In our new place of residence, the old-town part of a large and sprawling suburb, no such luck. Mrs. Superfan has a rundown on the adventure of trying to find a suitable site to hoist iron.
Note: You may recall "YMCA" as the Village People's biggest hit, and that the almost-true story of their creation, "Can't Stop the Music", starred '76 Olympic decathlon champ Bruce Jenner. "Can't Stop the Music" is considered one of the worst films ever made; Jenner was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award in the "Worst Actor" category (inexplicably won that year by Neil Diamond).

These days it's hard to find someone who hasn't heard about World of Warcraft – a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game; in short, MMORPG. It certainly wasn't the game first in that genre, but it was and still is the most successful one. Players from all over the world meet ingame, do dungeons and raids with other players or participate in epic battles against other players. World of Warcraft is, as its name suggests, a world of its own, with its cities, population – both players and NPCs – professions and ingame currency. There are two main ways to earn WoW gold ingame, first being looting killed monsters and second one selling items to other players, mostly over the auction house. However, not all players want to grind for gold; luckily, they have an option to WoW gold kaufen .
WoW gold
World of Warcraft currently counts over 10 million players which even got him in the Guiness Book of World Records. Blizzard Entertainment, the developers and publishers behind World of Warcraft, uses the players' subscriptions to maintain their servers, constantly tweak the game with patches and develop new game content in the form of expansions. In addition to paying subscription, players can also buy ingame content, like virtual pets, with real money. Unfortunately for some players, they can't buy WoW gold officially through Blizzard store so, for WoW gold kaufen, they must turn to various gold selling sites or shady ingame sellers and risk their own account being hijacked.
What's the problem with WoW gold?
As mentioned before, Blizzard is frequently making new World of Warcraft content in the form of expansions. Their subscribers are currently playing the third expansion named Cataclysm, which changed the former world drastically and caused much controversy among the players. Blizzard remained true to the game, though, and never disappointed his player base. Even now, with a new expansion on the way, there is a lot of complaining behind every decision their developers make. However, many players who have been faithful subscribers of the World of Warcraft game since the original, vanilla game, trusts them to do a great job like they always did. They have many characters with fully developed professions, epic gear and lots of WoW gold . New players don't have that luxury, though, as they have to start from scratch. If they can't manage it themselves, they can always turn to WoW gold kaufen.
Is WoW gold kaufen legal?
Like for many other MMOs, there are lots of companies that sell ingame currency for real money. They have an entire staff dedicated only to farm gold and items ingame and sell it to other players for profit. Some even sell their whole accounts packed with fully equipped characters and a hefty amount of gold, sometimes for several thousand US dollars. This is usually frowned upon by game companies, and Blizzard Entertainment is no different than the rest. A large amount of WoW gold comes from hacked accounts or by using other kinds of hacks that can significantly disrupt the stability of the server. Therefore, it is understandable why companies like Blizzard fight against it. Not all gold selling companies are like that, though, and if you really need gold, just write WoW gold kaufen in your browser and you will surely find many options on your disposal.
