For next week's issue: What do you do if you are browsing in an antique shop, or even online, and you come across someone who is selling counterfeit, or reproduction, items, but they have them identified as originals, and are asking prices that correlate to an original item? Has this ever happened to you? How did you handle it? If it hasn't happened to you, how would you handle it? Send an email with your response to firstname.lastname@example.com Your feedback helps us to keep the newsletter interesting :)
And thanks to those of you who have been responding! We really enjoy the feedback!
Last week we asked: What do you do if your grandmother has something near and dear to her heart and she tells you that when she dies she is going to leave it to you so that you can proudly display it in your home. Problem is, you absolutley hate it. A year later grandma has passed away and you are stuck with this item that you don't want. What if it's too big to be tucked away? What if it's her little dog that she had stuffed when it died? Do you get rid of it? Do you feel guilty if you do get rid of it? Do you display it in a room that is hardly used? Do you display it and everytime someone walks in, do you explain that you don't like it but you feel you owe it to grandma to display it because she loved it so? Has this ever happened to you? Even if it hasn't, what would you do?
Evelyn R. said: "If it is from your grandmother keep it forever. I am 83 years old and spent last night up and down dreaming about a cookie jar my Grandmother gave me. What did I do with it. I know I liked it but it is haunting me that I dont know where it is?"
Mari C. said: "Hello, You asked about being given something by a family member from their estate. In my case, it was my Mother. From the time I was six-years-old until I left home, one of my chores was to do the weekly dusting. That included her miniature figurines. I detested those small things no matter how much she loved them and would rearrange them. One year before she died, she brought them to me with the words, "I know you'll keep them safe for me." That was forty-five years ago. Yes, I still have them. Some are on my antique dresser in the guest room and the rest are safely in an attorney's cabinet. My daughter will have to worry about them, but I will not "gift" her with them.
Love your news letter."
If you have a story to share with our readers, please email it to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will include it in an upcoming issue.
In a recent newsletter we asked how you felt about the following example: A popular hunting magazine ran an article written by a gun collector. He was so proud of himself for buying a shotgun from a elderly man who was closing out his home and having an estate sale. While asking $100.00 on a particular shotgun the buyer talked the elderly man down to $50.00. The buyer proudly stated how the gun was later sold for $150,000.00 and he was not in the least bit concerned with "taking" the elderly man for all it was worth. If the buyer had offered the elderly man $1000.00, 10 times the amount he was asking, do you think that would have been fair? Is it the buyer's responsibility to "come clean" or is it the seller's responsibility to do the proper research before selling an item?
Here's a response that we received recently:
"Hello, I work for a non-profit in their shop selling new items. From time to time, one volunteer will find a gently used item she brings in and tags on the night she works. Two nights after she brought in 3 pairs of earrings all 80s style costume, all marked at $25 each - I sold the first pair and put out the other 2 pair. I noted that the third pair was a heavy pair of doorknockers with sprew marks, were beautifully finished inside and were also marked 14KT on the clip. They had a gorgeous yellow gold color that costume doesnt usually have. I was about to buy them, but instead asked the lead volunteer that night if I could take them to the jeweler to be appraised. She said yes. I found out that the jeweler would give me $380 on the spot based solely on gold weight and if they were to put them in their vintage showcase they would mark them up double. Whew! I quickly called the volunteer who brought them in and told her of my findings. She said she was sure they were costume and now understandably wanted them back. Of course, I am holding them for her. It simply occurred to me that we should all know what we are donating and never simply take something out of our jewelry box on our way to volunteering. Items should always go to the Chair for evaluation and pricing first. This is also true for our secondhand for profit shops, which I have also owned. This volunteer had brought these items in after losing her mother 3 months ago and made a simple mistake that she couldnt really afford to make financially or emotionally. Thanks for remembering me after years and years I enjoy your newsletter. Jane Y."
In another newsletter we asked about curbside finds, and what you did with them. In response to that we received the following note:
"Hi Phil, I know I'm a bit behind on this one but finally had the time to reply to the question of finding something of value at curbside. Several years ago (20 to be exact), we lived on a cul-de-sac in a very nice neighborhood. Our house was at the bottom of the hill and we had to pass everyone else's house to get to ours. On my way home one day, I saw a neighbor working in his yard among things that appeared to be for a garage sale. There were two raggedy but solid chairs that were just my style. The arms and legs had beautiful carvings but the upholstery was truly a sad sight. I asked him what he was going to do with them and he announced that the chairs were going to the dump as his wife would not let him have them even in the garage anymore. They had belonged to his mother and at that time she was in her late 80's. I couldn't bear to see them thrown out so he said if I wanted them I could have them. I loaded them into my van and immediately thought of how gorgeous they would be.. covered in deep blue velvet and added to my dining room. I did follow through with that plan and enjoyed them for 20 years, thinking of my neighbors every time I looked at the chairs. Recently, we decided to change our decor and even though I couldn't bear to part with the chairs, I knew they just would not fit in anymore. I decided to call our former neighbors to see if by chance they wanted them back. The wife remembered how beautiful they looked after I'd had them reupholstered. They decided that since each of their daughters had gotten married and had homes of their own, they would give one to each and then they would have something special that belonged to their grandmother who had since passed away. Even though they would not put a price on them when they offered them to me 20 years ago, they held precious value to me in their beauty, and even more so knowing I was able to return the chairs to them in the end. They were delighted that I had called them! Enjoy reading the Newsletter! Myra, from Oregon"

"Hi Phil, Great job on publishing the collectors newsletter - some entertaining stories & always interesting sites. Thanks for providing a superb service to all antique lovers. Here's a Christmas story that comes to mind that you might include in the Funny Old Stuff section. My mother's retired neighbor, Janet, served her career as a registered nurse. One holiday season while visiting with mom & friends back east, Janet shared a story of working in the hospital one Christmas, where the nurses had the children in one of the sick wards, draw the nativity scene. One young fellow, about five or six at the time, had the main characters, baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary, some wise men as well as some of the animals drawn around the manger. Off to one side was a large round circle drawn with a smiling face. When the nurse asked the young boy who that figure was, he responded - "that's round John virgin." Keep up the good work :D Cheers Steve S. "

9. A Vintage Recipe
Be sure to check out our vintage recipe archive online at:
Over 1200 wonderful vintage recipes are listed.
Last week Lynn Z. asked: "Does anyone have a great recipe for those rainbow colored little cakes (cookies?) that had chocolate on the top and bottom and then red, yellow and green layers in the middle, and jelly or jam between the layers as well? Sorry, I don't know what they're called."
We received so many responses! Thank you to all who replied!
Here's a recipe that we received from Jaci B. (Carrollton, VA)
3 sticks butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
12 oz almond paste, grated
1 tbsp pure almond extract
3 cups AP flour, sifted
3 tsp baking powder
red, green and yellow coloring gels or liquid coloring
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1 cup heavy cream
12 oz semisweet chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
Grease three 9-inch cake pans and line with a round of parchment paper
on the bottom.
In the base of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until
fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs and continue to beat for 3 more
minutes. Add the grated almond paste and almond extract and beat until
well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder then
slowly add to the almond paste batter and mix until combined.
Separate the mixture evenly into three bowls. Dye each bowl a
different shade (one green, one yellow, one red).
Pour each color of the mixture into individual pans making sure to
smooth out the top. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25
minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out
clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before
inverting onto a cooling rack. Remove the parchment paper and let cool
While the cake is cooling, prepare the ganache by heating 1 cup of
heavy cream in a small saucepan just until bubbles start to form
around the edge. Turn off the heat and pour over the chocolate in a
large bowl. Stir continuously until melted completely and smooth. Let
cool to room temperature.
Start with the pink layer of the cake and spread with the raspberry
jam until it nearly reaches the edges of the cake. Top with the yellow
cake. Spread this with the apricot preserves. Top with the final green
Use a spoon to pour the ganache over the cake, using an offset spatula
to even the sides and make sure the cake is completely covered. Use as
much ganache as you need. Let sit at room temperature in a cool spot
for 1-2 hours until completely set.
Note: I would substitue the ganache with chocolate butter frosting if
I were making it.
Jaci B.
10. A vintage recipe request from a reader:
"Hello. I collect vintage cookbooks and have thousands of recipes, but one recipe eludes me. I grew up with extended family, and my great aunt used to make chicken and rice for the family. I have tried to duplicate it, but that flavor eludes me. She never followed a recipe sheet, but I have a feeling that this is an old African American recipe that was passed down over the years. Can anyone help? I will take all recipes. I grew up in the 70's in Virginia. Thanks. -Patrice J. Richmond, VA "
As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from their past. Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to help people who are looking for lost recipes from their past. If you submit a request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.
If you can help this reader with this recipe, please forward it to firstname.lastname@example.com . If you have a vintage recipe request send it to email@example.com and we might just publish it here.

As the letters continue to pour in regarding the Long Bar Pointe project, a recent phrase used by a fellow urban planner caught my eye: "smart growth."
Unfortunately, this project falls in the same category as far too many mixed-use projects wielding the smart growth banner ... smart growth in a dumb place (a phrase that must be properly attributed to Lisa Grow Sun, JD, of Brigham Young University).
Moreover, smart growth is multifaceted and this project simply does not fit the full bill. A major goal of the smart growth movement is to create environmentally responsible communities; as many have already expressed, this project is likely to have myriad negative environmental impacts.
Further, smart growth is also fiscally responsible growth, and the strain this high density and high intensity community may place on our roads and our aging bridges may have high costs for the community at large, despite the fact that some infrastructure is currently in place.
Last, I ask: Is it truly smart growth to put an increased number of people in a Coastal High Hazard area, where they will cause increased road congestion during an evacuation? Is altering existing drainage patterns in a way that may affect storm surge patterns throughout the western part of our county smart growth?
Claiming the proposed development as a smart growth project is shortsighted at best; high-density projects like this one do not belong in vulnerable coastal areas.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Some of the largest consumer-facing companies in the world are looking to solve what we call the "triple whammy" -- how to get the best customer support performance at the best price, while treating customers like the world revolves around them.
Jupiter Research is projecting that with more complex products being sold over the Web, voice interaction will be the support of choice, and e-mail will follow. Businesses are already finding that the number of customer interactions is growing, despite the era of online self-service. Customers are moving to the Web to shop, but they want a higher level of contact and right now they are turning more frequently to the telephone.

|6 Points To Consider Before Buying A CRM Package Getting Started With CRM META Report: 5 CRM Trends For 2001-02
People still want to interact in a human way -- they still need to talk, so you have to find a solution to meet this expectation. Offshore and hosted facilities can help alleviate the pain in managing this rise in customer demand.
A new report from Frost & Sullivan estimates that the market for outsourcing inbound and outbound customer care, help desk, and telemarketing, will be worth $60 billion by 2007. The opportunity is there for the providers -- but what are the opportunities, advantages, benefits, and potential potholes, for the companies in need?
For an organization that needs a contact center to service customer demands and interaction there are some options. You first need to decide whether you can afford to locate, build, equip, staff and operate your own contact center; whether a joint venture is feasible; or if you can outsource the entire job to a reputable company.
Here are few thoughts to consider for each path:
The lock, stock and barrel route. Be prepared to commit up front and ongoing multi-millions in capital to locate, build, equip, staff and operate your own contact center. If you have the expertise, or can hire an experienced consulting organization to achieve your goals, this might be a good choice.
The carpool path. Joint ventures can be a good way to share risks and rewards in an area where you do not have total expertise. Your partners need to understand the intricacies of local government, staffing and cultural issues, as well as technical infrastructure.
The hired hand approach. By outsourcing the entire job to an experienced contact center business you gain control of how you want your customers treated, and at what costs. Be sure to decide up front whether you want the company to link up with your systems and also gauge their reputation in the country you have selected. Once you decide to outsource to the hired hand, ask yourself the following questions to ensure the best partner in the initiative:

The former mayor of Cudahy, David Silva, along with a former acting city manager, Angel Perales, agreed today to plead guilty to federal extortion and bribery charges after they took money to smooth the way for a would-be marijuana dispensary operator who wanted to open up a store in town.
The two admitted to taking $5,000 from the marijuana businessman, according to a statement today from the U.S. Attorney's Office in L.A. Silva also said he took bribes from several others, including a developer with property interests in Cudahy.
The office states:
Silva agreed to accept a $50,000 payment from a developer who wanted to purchase land that the city owned in a deal to discount the price of the property by $800,000.
Perales also admitted to even more than just the pot-shop bribe. He was a "bag man" for the city bribery scheme and engaged in vote fraud during the 2007 and 2009 city elections, when " ... ballots for non-incumbent candidates were discarded."
They could see 30 years and half a million in fines each. But that probably won't happen, seeing how they agreed to a deal, the details of which weren't disclosed.

The duo will have to pay back the bribe money, the U.S. Attorney's Office says.
Meanwhile, as part of the same scandal, Cudahy Councilman Osvaldo Conde is still facing a bribery charge and apparently had yet to bend to prosecutors' pressure to make a deal.
Feds say he accepted $7,000 from the marijuana business.

A Master of Arts Thesis Exhibition curated by Zeljka Himbele
Tales of Places is concerned with intimate relationships to particular surroundings. Connecting with places today appears to be more dynamic and fluid. Increased mobility and essential, variously generated changes in our surroundings complicate feeling of belonging and ways of defining one's identity. The artists-Chantal Akerman, Janine Antoni, Dunja Sablic, Anri Sala, Berni Searle, Karina Aguilera Skvirsky and Sandra Sterle-address these phenomena in their works by showing their own relationships to particular places. A "place" is seen here as a complex notion delivered through artists' individual experiences. Personal memories, histories, interaction with family and wider surrounding communities and descriptions of localities are closely entangled with the artists' emotions and sensations. Consequently, the works represent both the artists' past and their own present.
My deepest appreciation goes to the artists Chantal Akerman, Janine Antoni, Dunja Sablic, Anri Sala, Berni Searle, Karina Aguilera Skvirsky and Sandra Sterle for making the inspiring works and participating in the exhibition.
Thanks for the tremendeous support to Marcia Acita, Rhea Anastas, Julie Ault, Norton Batkin, Lynne Cooke, Tom Eccles, Colleen Egan, Nico Israel, Kay Larson, Susan Leonard, Ivo Mesquita, Linda Norden, Michael Pilon and the installation team at CCS, Tatjana von Prittwitz und Gaffron, Letitia Smith and my dearest friends – the class of 2006.
Special thanks to Dan Oki, Dia Art Foundation, New York, Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris, Jessica Murray Projects, New York, Luhring Augustine Gallery, New York and Michael Stevenson Gallery, Cape Town.
The exhibition would not have been possible without the support of my loving family, friends and Kristian.
A long time ago a term place left its exclusively geographical denotation. Gradually, its meaning has become multi-layered and fluid. Places more rapidly change their appearances and meaning considering the global accelerations of communication, commuting and consumerism. It seems that the urge to somehow react against rapidly changing concepts of surroundings and to rethink personal relationship with place gain importance in a time when notions of places are lost or complicated.
The exhibition Tales of Places links together several works that unravel artists' concern with defining their identity and the possibility of belonging. Personal histories and collective memories are set in motion through works that investigate artists' intimate relationships to particular surroundings. By merging their memories and imagination, the artists rediscover a potential of a tale– an intimate, highly personalized idiom-as a particular artistic strategy in contemporary art practice.
In Sandra Sterle's video Round Around the artist, dressed in traditional clothing borrowed from a peasant woman from the Croatian island of Mljet, runs until exhaustion, around an olive tree, in a personal ritual set in the original location of the island. The duration of Sterle's continuous action is underlined by the technical device of a video medium-the act of running is put in slow motion. The action expresses the desire to connect with local and cultural legacies.
Touch by Janine Antoni shows the artist walking on a tightrope on the beach against the background of a horizon. Occasionally, the line of the rope and the horizon-metaphorically, known surroundings and the walk towards an undefined destination-coincide and touch to be again separated in the next moment. The motif of horizon for Antoni indicates leaving one place and widening one's horizons but always simultaneously remembering previous places and related memories (i.e., the beach in Freeport, Bahamas on which Antoni grew up)-the movement between places here is presented as a recurrent dynamic action.
Berni Searle's still images capture silhouette cut- outs made of red crêpe paper—of photographs of the artist's friends and family—that were then submerged in water . The moments of their gradual disintegration were recorded by a camera. A few of these moments were transformed into the printed stills; therefore, they have become suspended in time. They symbolically represent different intensities of memories; those that are clear and recognizable and those that have almost completely disappeared.
In The Observation Gallery by Karina Aguilera Skvirsky the camera moves slowly through a building space . Occasionally it records outdoor views as seen from the windows. The images are accompanied by an audio component, a text taken from Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, sporadically interrupted by sounds taken from crowded New York surroundings. The text narrated tells about the possibility of locating oneself and recovering personal memories.
Dunja Sablic in her CD-ROM project Vila Velebita investigaties personal and family history as well as the history of a Croatian town of Bakar. Through the structure and technology of a CD-ROM, the original photographic material is manipulated. The work avoids linear narration. Users navigate through numerous data, without a fixed agenda and without the necessity of going through all of it. This work literally points to the variety of personal and collective memories, as well as a complex notion of place that is formed through them. Recalling the memories and stories from one's surroundings and the attempt to define relationships that inform a place, is seen here as a never ending, transitory state.
Chantal Akerman's A Family in Brussels is an audio record of a performance of the artist reading. The "stream of consciousness" text contains autobiographical references to family, belonging and distance. The text encompasses multiple subjectivities, shifting between first and third person as Akerman tells the story of her mother's life, and consequently, of herself as well.
One part of Anri Sala's work Byrek is a continuous slide projection—a text written by the artist that recalls his emotional ties to his family and personal history, symbolically materialized in a traditional dish. On the adjacent wall a video is screened, which contains images of an elderly woman's hands making the dish in a kitchen, a familiar, protected and timeless place. These images are regularly interrupted by outdoor views on planes moving across the sky. The video is projected onto a paper screen with the copy of the grandmother's letter. The intimate content of the letter is mixed with the detailed sketches-instructions for Sala to make the dish. In Byrek, Sala underlines his personal memories as important and constitutive part of his present.

My blog will be about things that inspire me in my daily life. I am fascinated by many things, most of all people
Friday, 29 July 2011
a dedication
In the last blog I wrote that I hadn't been inspired by New York in a long time. It's true, I hadn't. That's not to say I haven't been inspired, it's just that I haven't been inspired by the city. Instead I've been inspired by the strength, patience, dedication, and wisdom of one person.
I often say that "Patience is a virtue", I believe it and I believe it with all my soul. Patience is what helps us think, plan, and act with perfect reason. Patience though is a bitch to uphold sometimes. Patience is a hindsight understanding. You can't understand the true patience, or indeed admire it, unless you've been through those days in which you were being patient. It's simply a dedication that you only feel the true worth of after the culmination of that period.
Now before I descend into a gushing appraisal let me put in context why the person that's inspired me has. When I moved to New York I had just started seeing a beautiful girl whose name I will omit for the sake of privacy. She was a wonderful admission to my life and made me smile in a way I hadn't for a while. She literally made a choice of moving to New York, a bloody difficult thing, after only a month of us falling for one another. When I left London, and my new love, I was clearly torn apart. I couldn't just forget. Then, after weeks of being in New York without her we decided she should come over and we should give it a try. My thought was that you don't get to meet people like this more than once in a life time so you better take the opportunity otherwise you'll regret it forever. That person, I am happy to say is now my girlfriend. So to say that I made the right choice is a huge understatement.
When my girlfriend moved here she was coming here for me. Ok yes, she had some option of work as a photographer for a well known magazine in New York but if it wasn't for me she'd be happily living in the creative center of the world, London. Her dedication to us has been inspiring. She's stayed here with me, with limited work, for 7 months. Now let me tell you this, she is by no means work shy. She loves to work. She is one of the most social but hard working individuals I have ever met. It's one of the many things I love about her. So to go without work for even a month is despairing for her, so you can only imagine what 7 months would do. It's torturous.
So months were passing by and there was no job in site. Photography work was going on but it's freelance, and freelance in New York means pretty much the former part of the syllable. The lack of work meant the lack of structure and not having structure is hard. Simply put, not having a job is shit. I know it is because I've been there. However, by no means have I had it as hard as my lady, because not having a job whilst in a foreign country with no friends or family around is probably the hardest thing I can imagine. It's not like you have a wad of cash you can use to float around being a tourist, or ideally just jump on a plane home either. It's a real, "stick with it" mentality to ... well stick with it.
Thankfully I'm writing this blog in hindsight and after months of irregular work and serious patience, my girlfriend has a brilliant job. She is working lots and lots, and although I don't get to see her when I want that's cool because she deserves the great things a job gives. She has purpose, meaning, and a social element to her day that wasn't there a few weeks ago. More so, she has new friends. Great new beginnings are already blossoming and she's become close with more than one of her colleagues. I guess it's hard not to do that when you work at a place like babycakes.
Babycakes is her work place. It's an allergy and dietary conscious bakery in the lower east side of New York. It's super cool. All the girls are fun and dress in 50's style aprons. The place is very popular and each day they offer a great choice at the counter. No I'm not talking food, I'm taling tip jar. You can pay your tips with a choice, do you choose biggie or tupac? Johnny Depp or Johnny Cash? The choice is yours and you must decide with your dollar. I love the place, but most importantly it's my other half that loves it more, and that makes me happy beyond belief.
I guess I'm gushing now but the patience, dedication, and sheer strength of my lady has left me in awe. I am not only grateful but inspired. She's been through a lot, I hope I repay her. This blog, and new found inspiration, is dedicated to her; my sunflower in the bakery.

Sean Peschl-Ori will be Newcastle's best bet in a bid for the title of Miss Gay Australia International 2018, held at a pageant at the end of the month.
The Mayfield West female impersonator and medical administrator will be competing in the contest for the first time.
Peschl-Ori, appearing as his female alter-ego 'Rhea Listik', is looking forward to challenging for the top spot in the gender illusionist event.
"I cannot imagine life without drag after discovering my passion for the creative arts and performing," he said.
"I just love the creativity, attention to detail and adrenaline that goes into presenting a fabulous look and learning new songs to lip-sync and choreograph to."
Peschl-Ori, 24, will be up against eight other contestants for the crown at the Miss Gay & Miss Transsexual Australia International 2018 beauty pageant, set to be held in Melbourne's St Kilda Town Hall on January 27.
The event is part of the Midsumma Festival, and Peschl-Ori is looking to add to the silverware he collected for drag competitions in 2014.
"Competing for the Miss Gay Australia International crown at Miss Gay & Miss Transsexual Australia International 2018 will be challenging," he said.
"I'm really gearing up for it and hope to wow the judges with my brand of drag."
If the Novocastrian drag queen were to claim victory at the St Kilda competition, he confirmed that he would continue on with competitions in the near future.
Through his competing, he would promote his advocacy for Safe Schools Coalition Australia, a movement that encourages inclusion for all.
"Schools should be safe and inclusive for LGBTQI+ students, families and staff," he said.
A victory would also retain the crown for the Hunter, after former Muswellbrook High School student Hugh Battistello won the title at the 2017 event.
The St Kilda East drag performer reaped the spoils at the popular beauty show, after judges were impressed by his three-and-a-half minute lip-sync performance of Jennifer Lopez's hit, Let's Get Loud, during the annual competition.
The 27-year-old, who performs under the moniker Jacqui Meoff, was also named Best in Rio Carnival Costume, Best in Evening Gown, Best in Talent and Miss Photogenic at the event last January.
Miss Gay & Miss Transsexual Australia International is the first beauty pageant in the world to feature male-born contestants competing for two crowns – Miss Gay Australia International and Miss Transsexual Australia International.
Tickets to see the new champions of both competitions crowned can be purchased at midsumma.org.au/program/mgamt18.

Pubcon Las Vegas Day 1: Twitter Sessions
Three Vertical Measures employees attended Pubcon 2009 this year, and as the social media architect I had the privilege of attending the social media sessions. The social media topic du jour this year? Twitter of course! Below you will find information on the great sessions I attended November 10th. Don't forget to check the Vertical Measures blog tomorrow as well as Friday for summaries of the sessions I'll attend this year at Pubcon 2009!
Twitter Landscape: Hot Topics and Trends with Warren Whitlock, Dan Zarrella, Kate Morris, and Chris Winfield
This session focused on Twitter: where its headed, what the tweetscape is like, and how important Twitter is to your marketing campaign. Warren Whitlock started off this session (btw: he wrote the book "Twitter Revolution") discussing his strategy on this twitter account. 90% of his tweets are actual replies. He doesn't like mindless retweets, therefore he listens more than tries to sell a product or idea to his 50K + followers. He advises letting your followers know you care, expressing interest, and actually interacting to see results.
The next speaker, Dan Zarrella, provides information I felt was most important/useful to Vertical Measures and our blog readers: Twitter statistics. Zarrella has a HUGE database measuring retweets in the twittosphere. If you aren't familiar with Twitter you might not realize the importance of retweets: they are essentially votes cast for the best, most informational, interesting, etc….tweets on Twitter. Studying the patterns of retweets will help you get more followers, expand your reach, and improve your clout/influence on Twitter. Some things to note:
- 60% of RT (retweets) contain links
- bit.ly is the most popular URL shortener (used in 8-9% of RTs), ow.ly is the 2nd most commonly used
- Words most RT'd (in order of importance): you, twitter, please, retweet, post, blog, social, and free (notice "please" "retweet" is actually utilized successfully!)
- Using the word please occurs in 5-6% of RTs
- Least RT'd words: 1) game 2) going 3) haha
- RT's are 'smarter', IE: grammatically correct, no spelling errors, etc in comparison to other tweets
- Over 95% of RTs contain colons
- RTs occur most often between the hours of 1-6PM (CST)
- The likelihood of a tweet to be RT'd increases dramatically each time it's RT'd
Chris Winfield was the next speaker. He suggested adding mystery to your tweets, asking qualified questions to your followers to increase engagement, reminds us not to make it all about business, and to actually respond to the answers to questions asked of your followers.
Finally Kate Morris finishes up this first session with "Integrating Twitter With Your Business". She stressed that "we can influence word of mouth with Twitter", and that the best uses of Twitter in regards to integration for your business should be in this direction.
Capitalizing on Twitter & the Microblogging Revolution with Jon Henshaw, David Snyder, Brian Carter and Brent D. Payne
Traffic was the main topic in this session. Capitalizing on the huge traffic potential on Twitter is critical. Jon Henshaw from Raven Tools discussed a few tools he utilizes including EasyTweets.com, SocialOomph.com, and Topify.com to follow, unfollow and direct message followers via e-mail.
David Snyder was next up, stating he was recently quoted as being 'the most dangerous man on Twitter'. He doesn't measure success with follower count, but rather influence. Using his influence recently he launched a client promotion. In three days he received 100 opt in sign ups for his clients software utilizing: a wildfire application to create a coupon, kl.am shortened URLs, SocialOomph.com, Facebook Ads, utilizing industry professionals to help promote the software, and Blvd status (social media tracking and to monitor the promotion).
Brian Carter discussed social capital. Social capital is the value of your network. Without a valuable network of social media contacts you have little to no social capital. It's all about gaining social capital. Brent D. Payne added to the session with his discussion of Twitter types: News feed (broadcaster type profile), Celebrities ('faces' for a company), and a Brand Persona (your company/brands social 'face'). He suggests engaging your local audience in tweetups. He even does tweetups for a 'fake' type profile, a face to a company/brand that is a fictitious persona who cannot actually attend. Each and every follower understands this fact, and appreciates the hilarity of the fact that they are following someone who isn't actually 'real'. You too can utilize a 'faux tweeter' to your brands advantage.
Killer Twitter Apps, Services, and API Trends with Dan Zarrella, Brian Breslin, Joe Fernandez, and Alexander Barbara
Brian Breslin is a web addict, and twitter application builder. He gives a list of his favorite Twitter tools including: startpr.com, pikchur.com (like Twitpic, etc..), tweet suite, twitbin.com, twittercounter.com, socialtoo.com, tweetbots.com, and twittermass.com.
The "RT King", Dan Zarrella, is back again with this presentation, discussing Twitters next move in regards to RT's. Project Retweet, as Twitter is dubbing their new RT functionality, seems to be a bit of a let down. Comments on RTs aren't allowed, no reappearance available, and no RT signature. All of these items pose issues for Twitters new RT functionality. Alexander Barbara and Joe Fernandez discuss further where Twitter is headed with regards to their RT functionality, and additional items on the horizon: "GEO-Awesomeness": trending tweets by geographic location, further functionality with lists, merging searches of direct mentions, and potentially internationally applications.
Experts on PR and Twitter with Sean Jackson, Lisa Buyer, Adam Singer (for Lee Odden), and Ben Fisher
Sean Jackson discusses PR success, not just for Twitter but PR success for any medium. A point he stresses: clarify (why use Twitter?), monitor (use search.twitter.com to monitor keywords even misspelled ones), engage (realize it takes time and resources, build your authority!) and then advocate (be 90% authoritative and 10% advocate/self serving promoting). Lisa Buyer is up next, and a fact she states that is worth noting: "90% of retail companies will be on Twitter by 2010".
TopRankBlog.com's Adam Singer and Ben Fisher from TechPad Agency finish up this session discussing why using social media for PR is so important. Authenticity, long term story telling, leverage, and intersects with SEO are all important reasons to use social media for PR. Some tools to utilize: PitchEngine.com, SocialMention.com, Twitalyzer.com, Tweeteffect.com, and Twitteranalyzer.com. Singer also mentions: TopRankBlog.com has over 1.5 million backlinks, so we ought to take notice of the tools they are utilizing as they are obviously working.
What do you think of the social media sessions so far? Any questions you are itching to have answered by the experts? Comment below!
And don't forget to check back to our post tomorrow to see more highlights from the social media sessions at Pubcon. I'm also tweeting throughout the sessions, so feel free to follow me: @cliquekaila on Twitter.

A Connecticut man is scheduled to appear in court today after being cited for illegally owning an endangered ape.
Pierce Onthank, 49, of Fairfield, is charged with illegal possession of a pet siamang. A siamang can grow to three feet tall.
The charge comes a month after a Stamford woman was mauled by a pet chimpanzee. That incident prompted the state and Congress to consider strengthening laws about exotic pets.

Using Demonstrative Evidence In Employment Trials
Fully half of the lawyers in any trial end up complaining about the jurors after the verdict is returned.
While complaining is simple, what is more difficult is acknowledging that jurors are being asked to do something new and unusual for them, and to take that fact into account in trying to present the case to the jury—to recognize, and attempt to address, the very issues that might create an ineffective or unfavorable juror.
This is particularly true for...

Wilson Fridenberg Kukiniokala Kaahanui Sr.
Posted On January 27th, 2013 - Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Jan. 14, 2013

Loving the puns
Siege of Inaolia, The first game from Riftwalker Ltd, intends to put survival games on the map by offering a refined and fresh experience in the form of a game that pays heavy attention to story as well as a high replay value by means of dynamic combat, a game that promotes skill over spam while remaining easy to pick up. Set in the Dark Fantasy world of Ilastria, a world plagued by wars and magic as well as the orcs and their kin, you control one of three unlikely heroes in their struggle to survive within the ancient fortress of Inaolia, a task that they soon come to learn, has the very fate of the world in the balance.

For most of North Texas, the spring rains have been a no-show.
Since Jan. 1, only 3.93 inches of rain has fallen, making this the third-driest start to a year on record through Friday. The dry start means DFW is now 7.57 inches below normal since Jan. 1.
"We usually count on spring for our rains, and we're not getting it so far this year," National Weather Service meteorologist Jesse Moore said.
Most of North Texas is now in moderate to extreme drought, according to the latest drought monitor, released Thursday. Thirty-seven percent of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought, up 5 percent from a week ago. And almost the entire Panhandle is in exceptional drought, the worst category.
For the Tarrant Regional Water District's water-supply lakes, overall capacity is down to 69.1 percent.
Stage 2 restrictions, which would ban outdoor watering more than once a week, will be triggered if the supply drops to 60 percent.
The district's forecast models show about a 10 percent chance that it will reach that level this year, said David Marshall, the district's engineering services director. If the extreme dryness continues the rest of spring or summer, Stage 2 could be reached as early as August.
Conditions along the West Fork of the Trinity River are so dry that they are mirroring the drought of record in the 1950s. Marshall said he will have interns study data this summer to determine whether conditions are exceeding that drought.
Based on the district's own forecasts, Marshall remains optimistic that some rain will fall this month and in early June before the summer heat kicks in.
"After June 15, we'll know our course," Marshall said. "It will be set."
Hoping for rainfall
The district, which provides raw water to 98 percent of Tarrant County, met with its customer cities Friday to provide its monthly update.
Cities need to realize that once-a-week watering restrictions are possible, said Mary Gugliuzza, spokeswoman for the Fort Worth Water Department.
"We need to raise awareness that our supply is now down to 69 percent and that once-a-week would be triggered if we reach 60 percent," Gugliuzza said. "It's getting hotter. We will lose more to evaporation on our lakes."
Gugliuzza said Water Department officials will meet this summer with other customer cities, including Arlington and Mansfield, to formulate a plan if once-a-week watering happens.
"We'll be trying to get on the same page because that helps so much with education," Gugliuzza said. "It eliminates a lot of confusion."
Gugliuzza believes that some rain will eventually fall but that relief may not come until later this year.
"The outlook, with El Niño developing this fall and winter, is hopeful for getting some rain," she said. "But it's pretty bleak at this point going into summer."
State Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon said he isn't counting on El Niño to help all the state.
"It's impact on North Texas typically isn't nearly as strong as in South Texas," he said.
Statewide, this looks like the fifth-driest start to a year on record, but Nielsen-Gammon said he is still analyzing data.
Woe is wheat
In the Panhandle, the drought has devastated reservoirs and hurt the winter wheat crop, Nielsen-Gammon said.
"This is looking like the worst winter wheat crop in a half a century," he said.
Forecasters do see a chance of rain late next week. The Climate Prediction Center's six- to 10-day outlook shows above-normal chances for precipitation across North Texas.
It's too early to say how much DFW will get.
"We're not sure if we'll see an inch or an inch and a half — or less than that," said Moore, of the weather service.
But Nielsen-Gammon said the rain could be significant for parts of the state.
"It looks like the sort of event that could be multiple days where a few counties get 5 to 10 inches of rain," he said. "Given that, it's just a question of finding out which counties those are and who gets helped and who doesn't."
Lakes lower
West of Fort Worth, in Palo Pinto County, ranchers are getting nervous as the dry spring continues, said Scott Mauney, a county extension agent.
Ranchers are debating what to do with their cattle if the drought continues into summer. Some will probably be forced to sell off their herds while others will ship cattle elsewhere.
"We need rain because we don't have any grass growing in our pasture," Mauney said. "We're not getting any growth to take care of cattle. Our stock tanks are low. It's just kind of a day-to-day thing for some of them."
Like everybody else, Mauney is troubled by the region's lake levels.
West of Fort Worth, lakes have dropped even lower. Lake Palo Pinto, which supplies water to Mineral Wells and several other towns, is 24 percent full, and Possum Kingdom Lake is 62 percent full. Statewide reservoir capacity is about 64 percent, down about 2 percentage points from a year ago.
"We've kind of been in the drought for five years out here," Mauney said. "What scares me is our lake levels are just tremendously low. If we don't get some rain soon, I'm sure it's going to be kind of scary this summer."
While the drought has meant a relatively quiet severe storm season, the Insurance Council of Texas has increased insured-loss estimates in the April 3 Denton hailstorm from $300 million to $500 million.
Softball-size hail struck homes, automobiles and businesses. The system spawned at least three confirmed tornadoes as the storm moved eastward into Collin, Hunt and Hopkins counties.
"When it's all said and done, the storm will have damaged at least 35,000 automobiles and approximately 22,000 homes," said Mark Hanna, a spokesman for the Insurance Council of Texas.

The Three Little Ducks and the Big Bad Pig
by Mikayla & Mckenzie
by Mikayla & Mckenzie
I think your fracshurd frairy tale was a little funny because both of your voices and well fit in your story with the little squeakie sounds.
Your story is very different I really like the elaphants drinking all the water then spiting it out! Great job Mikayla & Mckenzie!
It was so good. The voices were awsome.
I think it was funny because you changed your voices and it was different than "The Three Little Pigs".
I really like your story its very different and creative.
Did you know, that if you had made the pigs green and gold and the Big Bad Pig purple, Mrs. Alpers would have given you an "A"?
Yes, green and gold is ALWAYS a good thing! Funny way to manipulate your voices, Mikayla and Mckenzie!
Good vioce expressions. I LOVE IT.
Mckenzie and Mikayla, Nice work on your podcast! I liked how Mckenzie changed her voice at the begining. Nice work on useing expression! I LOVED IT!!!
I think this is a very good story because of the sound effects and voice changes.

Check here first as we may have used the force to predict your question ahead of time.
1) Why does Dragonly fly fit in the Bomber and G.A.C. cases only in the 26" and 32" configurations? What about when it is fully extended at 42"?
Great question, there are two answers and you can pick the one you like best. Reason one is that in my experience of using and making the Big Kahuna Holeyboards, very few musicians travel with them, usually they use them at home or in the studio. 42" is big.
Reason two is that I am working on it. It has taken me two years to design, engineer, develop and produce Dragonfly and I didn't want to delay the release due to the case. The current cases work great for the two width configurations used most, the 26" and 32" widths.
2) Do you ship internationally?
Absolutely! Email me at email@example.com for a shipping quote.
3) Is there a dealer in my area?
Probably not yet but maybe soon. I am working on it. Dealers please drop me a line if you are interested.
4) Does the Natural finish in the Classic Series have a clear-coat on it?
Negative red leader, it is sanded smooth and unfinished. It is where it all began, the DIY ethos, skateboard decks, punk, art. If you are a woodworker or an artist this one is for you, make it a high gloss Birch or paint your band name on it or the name of your girlfriend (easier to replace than a tattoo and still a nice sentiment). If you want a nice clearcoat already applied on the Baltic Birch, order the Birch finish.
5) Other pedalboard companies throw in the case almost for free? What's up with that?
Yes, but the quality is extremely low. Made overseas, cheap materials, zippers that break, fabric tears. The disposable economy. I design my cases to be bulletproof, and waterproof, not water resistant. They are made here in the twin cities by hand, one at a time. The case will last as long as your Holeyboard and will keep your pedals safe and happy.
7) What is the cost of keeping jobs in the United States and buying something quality made that will last a lifetime?
The cost of choosing is free and that's up to you. The cost out of your wallet is about $59, I've done the math. The Evolution Series Holeyboards are the best I've ever made. Costs are higher than the classic and wood M3 Series, yes, but the lighter weight, increased strength and overall consistent quality are worth it in my opinion. For me to outsource this to China to keep costs down would save you the consumer about $59. That's not even enough to buy half of a decent OD pedal. For the crazy money we spend on pedals, I think buying one Holeyboard made with passion in the twin cities is worth it. Give it a whirl.
At the end of the day does it matter? Well, it matters to me.
8) I have a cool idea, can you make a custom Holeyboard for me?
I am always open to cool ideas, please let me know. I don't do one-off custom jobs usually, there are exceptions. It doesn't work out well cost-wise for me and for you. That said the Holeyboards are designed to be customizable to you so if I've missed something that you need, perhaps it's a problem we will work on and develop. How's that for a very noncommittal answer? At the end of the day it never hurts to ask.
9) Can you do expedited shipping so I can get that baby in my hands faster?
It causes me great stress. I get stressed, Megan who ships gets stressed, you are stressed because you paid good money and are waiting.... I need less stress in life, I'm looking forward to watching the grass grow someday while sipping coffee in the sunshine. Right now I"ve got five kids, and it's crazy busy. So, we do our best to get the Holeyboards out in one or two days, that's pretty great in my opinion.

Discovery Capital Management, Peter Thiel, Wicklow Capital Fuel Expansion Beyond Student Loan Refinancing; Wije Wijegoonaratna Joins Board, Peter Thiel and Duncan Niederauer Added as Advisors
Discovery Capital Management, Peter Thiel, Wicklow Capital Fuel Expansion Beyond Student Loan Refinancing; Wije Wijegoonaratna Joins Board, Peter Thiel and Duncan Niederauer Added as Advisors
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 3, 2014) - Social Finance, Inc. (SoFi.com), a leader in peer-to-peer lending, today announces $80 million in Series C funding, led by Discovery Capital Management, with Peter Thiel, Wicklow Capital and existing investors participating. SoFi will use these funds to expand the footprint of its existing student loan refinancing and extend its product suite for borrowers and investors.
With this funding, Discovery's S.P. "Wije" Wijegoonaratna is joining the company's board and Peter Thiel and Duncan Niederauer, CEO of NYSE, join as company advisors.
"SoFi is creating a better financial marketplace," said Mike Cagney, CEO of SoFi. "By bypassing the banks and directly connecting highly qualified borrowers and investors, we've been able to reduce their costs, improve returns and provide a much better experience than traditional financial services. The Discovery led financing allows us to aggressively build out our marketplace and significantly expand our products and services to members."
Since its launch in 2011, SoFi has funded $450 million in loans to over 5,000 members. SoFi borrowers average over $9,400 in savings by refinancing their student loans and become part of a community with unique benefits. SoFi provides unemployment protection, career services and an entrepreneur program. The entrepreneur program has helped dozens of borrowers start their companies with debt deferment, mentorship and capital. With the new financing, SoFi will expand its loan offerings to include mortgages and personal loans, and bolster the options in which individuals can invest.
"A generation of Americans has deferred their dreams, because they have to service more than a trillion dollars of student loan debt instead. Until college administrators realize how much their tuition hikes hurt students, we need to find innovative ways to make debt more manageable," said Peter Thiel. "SoFi helps borrowers get out from under the crushing burden of debt and begin pursuing their own goals immediately, instead of waiting for a time that never comes."
"We're breaking out of the traditional nameless, faceless financial industry model," continued Cagney. "Our model is based on the tenets of being local, transparent and interactive. By creating a lending ecosystem based on affinity, we're empowering people to invest in each other's success."
